"Along with the scent-inhibiting features, you get a safety-harness slit, a built-in adjustable armguard, and plenty of pockets."
"Third, limit the amount of mortgage payment escalations in adjustable rate mortgages to something approximately realistic [perhaps no more than a 10% increase in payments annually] and eliminate excessive prepayment penalties."

How to print free graph paper online
If you own a printer you can create and find lots of useful things. One of these things is printing graph paper free using the internet, your computer, and printer. So, if you have some maths or science homework, all you need to do is select the appropriate graph paper and print it out for free! The only cost that you will incur is the cost of your paper and ink.
1. Choose the type of graph paper you need
There are various types of graph paper options available from free websites, which include Cartesian graph paper, engineering graph paper, polar graph paper, isometric graph paper, logarithmic graph paper, and hexagonal graph paper amongst various others. Almost all kinds of graph papers are covered by the free sites offering online printing for graph papers.
2. Choose the Paper Size
The next step for you would be to choose the kind of paper size that you want to go for. The selection should be based on the paper you are using to take the printout. So this could be either letter size or the A4 size or even the A5 size, amongst various others.
3. The Measuring Units
An important part of taking an online printout of graph paper is the choice of your measuring units. It could either be in inches, centimetres or millimetres.
4. Save the file and click print
Typically the graph files are in the form of PDF files. You could save these graph files onto your computer for future use as well.

Some Air Force questions
Hi everyone
I know I might overuse these guidance forums, but I am very curious! I was thinking about the airforce as a career tonight while bored and I have quite a few questions for anyone who might know about the Air Force career paths: Please keep in mind that I'm not really interested in doing anything other than being a pilot (astronaut)...If I'm not qualified for that position then I'd rather just keep on doing what Im doing. So, if you were a budding graduate interested in going for a pilot position in the airforce...what would you be doing right now? I meet most if not all of the qualifications. I will be getting my degree in mathematics and one in spanish, high GPA, and i'll be 22 when I graduate. I have bad vision but it can be fixed with military PRK surgery (common nowadays I hear). I am slightly overweight but I could easily knock the excess off before going in(I actually lost 50 pounds last year). One thing is I want to get at least my Master's degree in Nuclear Engineering, which will probably take 1.5-2 years after I graduate. So I'd be 24 before I could apply to the Officer Candidate School. So a couple of my questions are: Does a master's degree differentiate you from the other pilot candidates or does the administration not care, as long as you meet the basic requirements? Along the same lines, would it be better to get my master's degree before I go in (and pay for it) in order to have a better chance at being selected for a fighter or astronaut position, or should I wait and let the Air force pay for my graduate school after I get out. Is it really reasonable to commit 12 years of your life (2 yrs training + 10 yr commitment)? By the time I get out, I will be either 34 or 36 depending on when I do my master's, and I still want to do the PhD afterwards, which would put me starting my professional career at age 38 or 40. Nobody would hire me! (or would they?) Should I try to haul butt through school, get my PhD when I'm 27-28, barely make the age cutoff, and apply to OCS at the last minute? I don't like the pressure of that idea. It would only take one slip up to delay my research in graduate school and I'd be screwed. They say people with some flight experience are given preference. Should I try to get my pilots license, which costs about 10,000 bucks? Thanks for the help. |

http://www.airforceots.com/portal/index.php Talk to these folks over here. They'll answer your question.
Keep in mind you'll more than likely be rejected for OTS if you state you only want to be a pilot. The Air Force gets more than it share of people who want to be fighter pilots, and very few guys and gals will get the honor. You join the Air Force because you want to serve your country and like what the Air Force does. Sure you may have a goal of becoming a pilot, but even then you need to accept that in reality the only people who do become pilots come from the Air Force Academy, not OTS. I do encourage you to become a TACP or JTAC :D! Anyway, as for starting your PhD after a career in the Air Force, not likely. Odds are you'll have a family, be used to make real money and the prospect of leaving all that for a PhD (aka an unstable career prospect in science) will probably be seen as crazy, even by you. Nevertheless, assuming you even decided that you really wanted that PhD, then you would have probably loss a ton of essential information you need to succeed in graduate school. Instead of information regarding your field of interest, all you'll know about is minimum safe distance of a Mk-82, rigging a GBU 52, weight variance, and myriad of other complex things a pilot needs to be aware of (assuming you do become a pilot.) |

Hi! I'm an Army officer. I'm assuming you would want to go AFROTC? I will answer these questions as if you do.

Some Air Force questions
The Air Force has something like 65,000 officers and something like 4000 airplanes. That should give you a ballpark idea of how competitive a pilot's slot will be. 1000 of those airplanes are trainers, so it's even more competitive than it looks.
Jan9-13, 06:26 PM | #5 |
Many people who get close to airplanes are mechanics. :-/ |

Many moons ago when I had no gray hairs, my AIAA student chapter arranged a sweet deal to visit Eglin AFB in Florida, where they have lots of engineering laboratories and do a lot of engineering testing on way-cool military stuff. It was a thinly-disguised recruiting trip for the USAF, but still fun. I had similar career desires and asked similar questions.
In summary, this was the USAF's position:
This was a three decades ago, but I suspect their position hasn't changed much. Slightly overweight and poor vision? I suspect, even with improvements, that you would rank wa-a-a-a-y down the list, behind the hundreds that have none of those issues. Concerning the time commitment. In retrospect, after suffering through corporate dysfunction for 30 years, I wonder if retiring as a Colonel or perhaps even a General in the USAF with a government-paid Ph.D. or two, and with all the military benefits would have been a better option. |
Jan13-13, 12:58 AM | #7 |
Hmm..Well thanks everyone for the replies. You have knocked some sense into me. I talked in person to a professor at GA Tech and he said that my background is reasonable to apply for their Ph.D. program. I think I will just continue with my studies and get a job in industry, and perhaps get my pilot licenses on my own.
Jan13-13, 05:40 PM | #8 |
This is a question directed to FalconOne and Vanadium 50:
This may seem to be a silly question, but since both of you have stated that it is very competitive to be selected as a pilot while in the Air Force (as Vanadium 50 has quoted, there are approximately 65,000 officers and 4000 planes, of which 3000 may be in active use), what do the majority of the remaining officers in the Air Force do? FalconOne stated that many of them are mechanics, and tygerdawg mentioned engineering officers as well, but I can't imagine that there would be a need for that many mechanics for a limited number of planes, and I would assume that there wouldn't be that many engineers working in the Air Force. |
Jan13-13, 06:31 PM | #9 |
Non-pilot flying (navigator, weapons, air battle management, etc.), missile launch officer, aircraft maintenance, logistics and supply, personnel, intelligence, weather, air traffic control, communications, health care, public affairs, civil engineering, law, finance, explosive ordinance disposal, and bandleaders.
I am sure I missed a ton. |
Jan13-13, 07:13 PM | #10 |
Therefore, I was curious as to what Air Force officers do other than pilot or maintain aircraft (or perform duties that are not unique to any one branch of the military such as health care, public affairs or law). BTW, I may be mistaken about this, but wouldn't there be more civil engineers working in the Army (say, through the US Army Corps of Engineers) than in the Air Force? |
Jan13-13, 08:46 PM | #11 |

Air forces mission is not just to fly. Even if it was there is a lot of jobs needed in order for that job to be done. For example, computer network mangement, air control, fuelers, drivers, planners, future planners, acquisition, ammo, electronic experts, electronic warfare, combat controllers, weather, satellite imagery, people who run monte carlo for cde, etc. As for more civil engineers in the army, there probably is. However by ratio the air force beats the army when it comes to high tech majors. Us grunts only want physically fit guys willing to go into the suck, the air force needs smart guys to handle all the equipment they have. |
Jan14-13, 03:17 PM | #12 |
As for high tech majors, I would also think that the Navy will also tend to have many high tech majors, given the need for logistics, operations around large ships, etc. |

No More Searching - They're "The Best"
Review by: Celli -
When I tried Maui Jims on in the store, I thought they were a good pair of glasses. It wasn't until I experienced them outside, that I realized I could stop searching for what I thought was impossible - An unbelievably GREAT pair of sunglasses!! REAL, true-to-life color, with glare protection that is fantastic especially glare from behind ("bounce back glare"). After 3 years, I still catch myself checking out the true-to-life color and glare protection. I could go on and on touting these sunglasses - no kidding - but I will simply say, they are, hands-down, the best pair of glasses I have EVER owned! Shortly after buying my pair, I had a friend try them on to experience the true-to life color and glare protection - next thing I knew, he bought a pair! Not only can I say I will buy nothing but Maui Jims from now on, I can prove it. When I broke mine receently (and I was very sad), I went back to the store to buy another pair! Come to find out, you repair them too! What more can you ask for? I'll answer that.....Nothing! Hands-down......

A decent pair!
Review by: tman -
The best sunglasses I have ever bought. I am now a MJ fan and would like to get another pair.
I give MJ stingray 4 stars due to the fact the frame is slightly heavy.
Did anyone notice that the item was made in Italy??? atleast that 's what written on mine(Posted on 11/28/12)
Review by: Handyman -
MJ stingray sunglasses are awesome. Vivid clarity. I want to wear these glasses all the time I see better with them on, then off. These wrap-around glasses block all the natural light from getting to my eyes. I have light colored eyes and they are very sensitive to light. MJ Stingrays keep me from squinting my eyes while wearing them. The only downfall is that they create a blind spot in my periphial vision. That will take time to get used to since I'm used to thin wire frames. I work in construction and the polycarbonate material will protect my eyes just as pair of safety glasses would. The anit-relfection coating on the inside of the lens stops all the glare which is great when I put my back to the sun or if I'm working around other materials or objects that reflect the sun. I only have one pair of eyes and I can't replace them; so, Thanks Maui Jim!

Best Sunglasses
Review by: Eyesis -
I lived in Miami for 20 years. The glare on the water is very strong--and my nyc raybans were totally ineffective. A US Coastguard captain recommended Maui Jims to me. When i first wore them boating, I was amazed--I could see the fish quite clearly below the surface of the water. Wearing them in everyday situations, I quickly became aware of how they lessened eye fatigue. I was never without them....until I moved to Mississippi and lost my MJs. Then I didn't feel I could afford to replace them. So for 5 years I wore cheap polarized sunglasses. Ugh. Recently, my eye Dr. reminded me that macular degeneration runs in my family, and that I needed to be especially careful to keep direct sunlight out of my eyes. The eye Dr. carries MJ--I was so pleasantly surprised. My insurance paid a percentage. I bought a pair of the Stingrays--similar to the ones I had years ago. Once again I am amazed at the comfort of my eyes, and how beautiful and crisp the world is, through MJ lenses. The style is great too, I have a small face and most other sunglasses make me look like a bug.
Anyway, I learned my lesson, and I remind you too--the comfort and protection of your eyes and precious eyesight should always be a priority.(Posted on 11/28/12)
Best Ever!!!
Review by: WeaselLoader -
Can't ever remember feeling compelled to write a review about something as simple as sunglasses. Having just had LASIK, I was eager to finally get a good pair of sunglasses. Looked at Oakley, Smith, Ray-Ban and Native. Sales person showed me the Maui Jims and I immediately felt the better quality on these compared to the others. You do get what you pay for and I think these are worth it compared to some of the prescription glasses I wore for almost 30 years. The only thing different I would have considered is the Reader Maui Jims since my near vision is not perfect now. Also might consider a lighter tint for winter/overcast driving.

I will miss them!!!
Review by: CryinginNH -
These were my first pair of MJ's ever and I will miss them...my 1 yr old English Golden (fond of chewing plastic) found them on the kitchen counter and called them "snack"...these were the perfect sunglasses for driving in my 23 year old convertible! Being a contact lense wearer, the lenses were dark enough that I never felt blinded by the light, no breeze dried my eyes, and the fit...perfect! Would recommend them to everyone who enjoys driving or spending time at the beach. When I am done paying for braces, I hope they will still be available...

Awesome for my job, takes a salt water beating daily and still perfect!
Review by: Dolphinsjo -
Truly an excellent pair of sun glasses! My job requires sunglasses to stand up to salt water, chlorine, and the sun day in day out all year. These glasses are the perfect pair to stand up to all the elements. I am pretty hard on sunglasses, they are more of a uniform item than a fashion accessory to me, but these sunglasses are very forgiving. I can't rate them higher than five stars, but I definitely would! They fit my medium size face, they never slip and slide, and are excellent eye protection. I don't leave home without them. Would definitely recommend!!!

I tried these on 18 months ago and fell in love. I do not have alot of disposable income, we have 2 very young children. I saved and saved and was finally able to afford to buy these after 18 long months of waiting. I LOVE THEM, it is like a hug on my face. My wife says I look good as well so that is a BIG bonus.

...I could use some help, and I know how lame these threads can be.
I've got 4 choices for my next DH bike. A few shops want to help me out so they are all within a few hundred of each other all said and done. Now, I haven't ridden any of these frames save for the Demo. Nobody around here has them in Larges, which is what I'd need to try. I'm 6'1" and generally ride longish bikes, have money arms, and I'm an expert level rider/racer. I'd rather go fast than do any sort of trick. Tricks are for kids and hookers.
2012 Devinci Wilson RC Carbon (most expensive by a few hundred)

2012 Giant Glory 0 (cheapest by a few hundred, but... glory)
2012 Norco Aurum 1 Dorado

Anything else?

Yes nice to see a local. Thanks to the wife taking me into the Art of Shaving two months ago I'm hooked.
Yep that's where I started too. Kind of an expensive way to start IMO. If only I knew then what I know now
I went to the one in Roseville. Is there one out at Arden too? Might also run by bath and body works and grab a tube of CO Bigelow cream for a little variety if you've not tried anything other than AoS. I think you'll find there are many other quality products out there for cheap(bigelow/proraso being one of those products).

Just got a tube of co bigelow this weekend and WOW what a difference than the AOS wasnt expecting the tingle. The AOS was a good start, now I just need to build up my shaving closet.
I agree it was a good start. The only thing I wish I hadn't bought from them was the brush. Way too floppy for me, but YMMV. Oh and the preshave oil, that stuff isn't for me. Guess I should just bought the cream and the ASB. Woulda been a lot cheaper.
Bigelow is great stuff. It's been in out of my den since I first started all this(I keep PIFing it to friends to convert them). If you liked Bigelow check out Queen Charlotte Soaps and pick up some Vostok. That stuff is crazy!! And the owners are awesome too!

United States Tax Alert - 14 February 2012IRS amends application of Section 367 to Section 304 transactions |
By Tim Tuerff, Irwin Halpern, Chris Trump and Timothy Messenger
On 10 February 2012, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Notice 2012-15, describing future amendments to the regulations under §367(a)1 and (b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to transfers of stock to foreign corporations in exchange for property under §304 (redemptions through use of related corporations). The amendments apply to transfers occurring on or after February 10, 2012.
The Notice provides that, contrary to the rules set forth in the 20062 and 2009 regulations,3 §367(a) and (b) shall apply to the outbound transfer of foreign or domestic stock in a §304 transaction.4
In particular, the Notice provides that, if a U.S. person is treated as transferring stock of a domestic or foreign corporation to a foreign corporation (the "foreign acquiring corporation") in a deemed §351 exchange (transfer to a corporation controlled by the transferor) in a §304 transaction, the transfer is subject to §367(a) and the regulations thereunder, including the exceptions described in Treas. Reg. §1.367(a)-3(b)(1) and (c)(1), as applicable (relating to entering into a gain recognition agreement (GRA) to avoid recognizing gain under §367(a)(1)). Thus, a transferor in a §304 transaction that is a U.S. person may, in certain cases, enter into a GRA pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.367(a)-8 to avoid the recognition of gain under §367(a)(1). However, if the U.S. person enters into a GRA, the deemed redemption of the stock of the foreign acquiring corporation issued pursuant to §304(a)(1) constitutes a disposition of the transferee foreign corporation stock under Treas. Reg. §1.367(a)-8. Consistent with the redemption rules provided in Treas. Reg. §1.367(a)-8(n), the redemption will not be treated as a triggering event if the U.S. person that transfers the stock in the deemed §351 exchange in a §304 transaction enters into a new GRA that includes appropriate provisions to account for the redemption, provided the principles of Treas. Reg. §1.367(a)-8(k)(14)(ii) and (iii) are satisfied (relating to retention of ownership and entering into a new GRA).
Additionally, the Notice provides that, in applying §367(b) to a deemed §351 exchange occurring in a §304 transaction, the taxpayer must test to see if the §304 transaction results in the loss of status as a §1248 shareholder. If so, Treas. Reg. §1.367(b)-4(b)(1)(i) requires the exchanging shareholder to include in income as a deemed dividend the §1248 amount attributable to the foreign stock that is transferred.
1 Under the general rule of §367(a), a foreign corporation is deemed not to be a corporation in certain tax-free transactions requiring an exchange between corporations. Section 367(b) and regulations thereunder override certain tax-free transactions to the extent necessary to prevent the avoidance of U.S. Federal income tax by U.S. shareholders on certain inbound and foreign-to-foreign transactions.
2 Treas. Reg. §§1.367(a)-3, 1.367(b)-4T, 1.367(b)-6, T.D. 9250, 2006-1 C.B. 588.
3 Treas. Reg. §§1.367(a)-9T, 1.367(b)-4T(e), 1.1248-1T, T.D. 9444, 2009-1 C.B. 603.
4 As the Notice states: "the IRS and the Treasury Department believe that the amount of income taken into account as a result of a section 304 distribution generally should not affect the application of section 367 to the deemed section 351 exchange [in a section 304 transaction]. Furthermore, in the case of a transfer of stock by a U.S. person to a foreign corporation, the revised GRA regulations should substantially reduce the complexity and uncertainty resulting from the filing of a GRA in connection with a deemed section 351."

Yes,the blood tubes-or whatever they called get tighter because of smoking,and then during "the time of need",the blood isn't going as properly as it should to the needed part of the body.

Last wednesday I was going to school. I was riding on my bike and then some driver comes behind some stupid corner and bang! I came down on my face and here's the result: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/GhostRaver/Picture27.jpg It's taken now, two days after the accident.
Was the third time something like this happens in my life. I hope this will be the last one too cause I probably won't get out of the hospital so early after the accident. This was the worst car hit I've got. Didn't even need to stay in the hospital for hours last time and I didn't even see the hospital when I got hit the very first time. At least I finally start to appreciate life a bit...

The culture of this nation, one driven by the unionization of teachers back in the 1960′s coupled with public indifference and inattentiveness to spending, has resulted in the gross over-staffing of our schools with attendant excessive spending.
The cost per pupil of educating a District 115 (Lake Forest High School) student is now a staggering $22,003, with a budget for the 2013-14 school year being a behemoth $43+ million, the bulk of which is to be spent on salaries and benefits.
Last month, District 115 once again requested and was granted the maximum-allowable five percent increase to the tax levy for the 2013-14 school year, a step in the wrong direction. In these hard economic times, a reduction in taxes has for most taxpayers become a need, not just a want.
A frequently used solution to trimming an education budget is to cut teaching positions and increase classroom sizes. But there is a better solution: Reduce the fat from non-teaching "support" positions, such as multiple layers of administrators, by eliminating positions that are in excess of what is required to serve reasonably the student population and by ensuring that administrative salaries are not out of whack with those commanded in the private workforce.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Lake Forest ranks first among average salaries for administrators, averaging $175,375 per year. The high cost of administrators, however, is just part of the problem; the other part is the explosion in the sheer number of administrators and other non-teaching support staff.
All told, there are over 120 administrative (non-teaching) positions to support LFHS, a school that has only 140 teachers and a relatively small student population of 1,765 students. This nearly 1 to 1 ratio of non-teachers to teachers is quite disturbing given that teaching, after all, is the raison d'être of schools.
There are so many administrative positions that it is somewhat difficult to discern who does what, but here's the general picture:
To begin, LFHS District 115 shares 50/50 with District 67 the cost of a cadre of administrators housed in the West Campus Administrative Office, starting with "Superintendent" Michael Simeck, who commands a starting base salary of $250,000 a year, down substantially from that of his predecessor Harry Griffith, who was paid an astounding salary of $362,339 (the highest in all of Illinois).
Other administrators in the Administrative Office include: an "Assistant Superintendent" whose salary registers $206,469, a "Deputy Superintendent for Finance & Operations" who takes in $237,599, an "Assistant to the Superintendent for Finance and Operations" who earns $61,624, a "Director of Communications" costing just under $200,000, an "Assistant Superintendent of Business Services" commanding $212,836, and a "Director of Buildings and Grounds," earning $115,433 (these salaries are from the school year 2012 as set forth in a blog by Bill Zettler, Director of Research for the Family Taxpayers Foundation and author of "Illinois Pension Scam.")
In total, these seven administrators cost the taxpayers $1,283,961 plus several hundreds of thousands in benefits and perks, so let's conservatively call it a yearly price tag of $1.5 million. In addition to these 7 administrators, there are 13 "Human Resources" and "Business" staff members in the West Campus administrative offices, with a conservative payroll cost of another $1 million, making a total cost of $2.5 million.
A whopping $2.5 million ($1.25 million of it paid by LFHS) should be more than enough to pay for the administration of LFHS, right? That is not the case. There is yet another large layer of administrators and support services on the premises of LFHS.
For administrators, LFHS has a "Principal" ($195,817), an "Assistant Principal" ($182,091), a "Director of Personnel and Instruction" ($112,020), and an "Athletic Director" ($141,862). In addition, each of the thirteen LFHS academic departments has a department head paid extra to administrate their departments.
The administrative positions at LFHS continue, and include: a "Comptroller," a "Director of Technology," a "Fee Specialist," a "Registrar," a "Service Coordinator," an "Assistant to Service Coordinator," a "Bookstore Manager," a "Communications Assistant," a "Nurse," a "Health Attendant," an "Attendance Taker," a "Facilities Usage Manager," a "Student Resources Officer," a "Manager of Buses and Field Trips," a "Transcript Manager," a "Pool Manager," a "Cafeteria Manager," four deans, eight guidance counselors, four social workers, seven librarians, fourteen secretaries/receptionists, a staff of ten in the Athletic Department, 15 in the Cafeteria and 15 in Maintenance.
The excesses in administrative positions are palpable. To name a few:
We have too many highly paid administrators who are seemingly doing little other than overseeing a staff of people who are doing what the highly paid administrators' jobs should encompass!
In the "olden days" we did quite well with just one superintendent managing a school much larger than Districts 115 and 67 combined.
We employ both a pricey Director of Communications and a Communications Assistant. With the amount of money we pay our two superintendents, shouldn't the taxpayers expect them to do the "PR" that is needed?
The Dean's Office staff lists 16 individuals, comprised of four deans and 12 miscellaneous support positions. Working in one of these spots is akin to wining a lottery! The staff seems to have an incredible gig doing work that does not require a college degree. All get paid tidy sums. At least one study hall proctor and 3 of the 4 deans are paid over $100,000! Whatever happened to teachers proctoring study hall in their off periods and ill-behaved students going to the principal's office rather than to one of many deans? It would be surprising if there were more than a dozen misbehaving kids per grade level, a very small number for so many deans.
An excess of guidance counselors likewise seems to exist, six in all, to make sure students are taking all the requirements for graduation and to facilitate class changes. They also counsel for college exams and college selection, basically amounting to nanny-state positions. These are six figure positions, not an incidental cost.
Do we really need to be paying a school nurse, who reports to work no more than 184 days per year, a salary ($120,567) that rivals that made by many general practitioner physicians who work year-round? Does she really need an assistant (do students come to the nurse's office coughing two by two)?
Might we be able to reduce or eliminate parent-paid fees if we eliminated the full time position of "fee specialist"?
Should an athletic department for one relatively small high school have a staff of eight people in addition to its director and a host of gym teachers and coaches?
Do we need a full-time position of manager of a school bookstore, particularly when a far less costly (and hassle-free) option for parents would be on-line ordering of books?
Have kids nowadays become that much more needy or have our school systems gotten out of control with way more administrators and other support services than are warranted, with taxpayers footing the bill through higher and higher property taxes?
What is needed is a paid Inspector General position to serve both District 115 and 67 (which has an administrative staff even larger than District 115′s). An Inspector General, who must be experienced and independent, should take a close look at job descriptions, work loads, and compensation and determine what positions could be consolidated, what positions are being paid significantly more than their private sector counterparts, etc. The cost per pupil at LFHS can undoubtedly be substantially curbed, over time, without hurting the quality of education one iota, by reducing the massive administrative staff.
Let's start teaching our children fiscal responsibility by practicing it.

Nancy, the olden days are over. Did anyone ever question or publish your husbands salary or question how hard he worked? Find a real cause and help some children that need real help. You are becoming ridiculous!
Fiscally Concerned
3:59 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Mary Ann, where are you from? First, your reference to "your husbands salary" seems right out of 1950s Ozzie & Harriet. Second, if one works in private enterprise his or her compensation has been reviewed thoroughly to be commensurate with market and their work is constantly evaluated. (It likely was reduced during the 2008/2009 financial meltdown.) On top of that, the business is most likely reviewing the need for their position every couple years if not every year.
The author did a good job of presenting facts about the school district's compensation and spending. School districts should not be immune and deaf to evaluation and review by the general citizenry. The Board is not the last word only the beginning word.
8:13 am on Friday, January 11, 2013
With declining enrollment this number will only go up in the next few years. It is high time the school board paid attention to how much we are paying for the school and analyzing the value provided.

If you want to analyze a the fiscal shortcomings of your school district I would highly recommend two things. First, don't rely on a blog for your facts, get them from the school district. Two, analyze what the community is getting for the money. You make no mention of student performance, which is the ultimate indicator of the performance of the administrators, teachers and support staff. If you have a high graduation rate, a low drop-out rate and high college attendance after high school then maybe you're getting your money's worth. If not, then you may have a legitimate complaint.

The Care Guy's branching outPosted on 10:30am Friday 8th Jun 2012 I've been writing 'stuff' for years. From the 'Mental Capacity Act' to 'Safeguarding', from 'Mental Disorder' to 'Counselling' and 'High Expressed Emotion' the list of topics goes on and on. Several times over the years colleagues have suggested I sell my work and I've always resisted that. I'm not entirely sure why but the idea of charging for this stuff has seemed odd to me. But now I'm biting the bullet. I've spent the last couple of weeks editing a lot of my previous writings and updating others. I've a bit more work still to do but it won't be long. So watch this space. The Care Guy is about to open an online shop. We'll start with just a handful of titles in written form but over time I'll be adding more and also multimedia versions (rather better quality than my customary blog, youtube presentations and podcast), all reasonably priced and, I hope genuinely useful to people working in health and/or social care settings. So please, keep an eye on the site and have a look when the shop goes live in a week or two. There'll be discounts for bulk purchases too as several of my planned offerings will be suitable for organisations to buy for their staff teams. The safeguarding handbook, for example might be of interest to providers as a way to back up their established training programmes. While I'm on the subject, if you're a training provider who doesn't already have an established safeguarding programme give me a call. I'm very reasonable and I work all over UK. Anyway - watch this space........ |

The Little Village School - Barton-In-The-Dale Series
by Gervase Phinn
eBook, Published by Hachette UK (07 July 2011)
Sorry, this book is not available in this region.
She was wearing red shoes! With silver heels! Elisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village. No one can understand why the head of a big inner city school would want to come to sleepy little Barton-in-the-Dale, to a primary with more problems than school dinners. And that's not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker and a duplicitous chair of governors, to name but a few. Then there's the gossip. After all, a woman who would wear red shoes to an interview is obviously capable of anything . . . Warm, funny and poignant, Gervase Phinn's first novel for adults creates a fictional world that's as real as can be. It will delight all his fans, and win him many more. Gervase Phinn is a teacher, freelance lecturer, author, poet, school inspector, educational consultant, and visiting professor of education. For fourteen years he taught in a range of schools, then acted as General Adviser for Language Development in Rotherham before moving on to North Yorkshire, where he spent ten years as a school inspector - time that has provided much source material for his books. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an Honorary Fellow of St John's College, York. He lives with his family near Doncaster.

"This may just be the perfect cookie recipe. Seriously. I personally prefer doing rounded tablespoon sized cookies, because they are faster and make a nicely sized cookie. I baked them for 10 minutes and they were perfect. They perfectly straddled the line between poofy and flat (if you've tried a lot of cookie recipes you'll know what I ..."

"Your recipes are almost always five star winners in my house, and this was no exception! I had a 20 lb turkey that I quartered, and I filleted the breasts off the carcass, so I had skin on, but boneless, turkey breasts to work with. This recipe and method worked wonderfully for me! The turkey was moist and flavorful on its own, but it is also not ..."

"This was delicious! I added pesto and a little half and half, and served it over lightly braised greens (chard, kale, etc and caramelized onions. It was still comfort food, but without the guilt and calories that come with pasta. This makes it a winner in my book, and I look forward to making it again sometime! :"

"Simple and delicious! I couldn't have asked for a better recipe for my very first asparagus experiment! I'm making more tonight - yum!

"I had one bunch of red beets, and since I'm generally not a fan of beets, I've never cooked them and needed a quick, simple recipe to experiment with. This one fit the bill really nicely, and was enjoyed by all. The only reason it gets four stars is because we felt a little iffy about the lime. DH particularly wasn't thrilled about ..."

"This recipe doesn't need another rave, but I'm going to put in my two cents anyway! No star rating from me, though, because I changed some things. First of all, I used elk meat instead of beef, which worked really well. Also, I had some leftover pan drippings from a roast chicken, and since I didn't make gravy at the time, I saved i..."

"I slow cooked an old chicken in the crock pot, and it ended up dry. Since I had used a similar honey/mustard sauce in the slow cooker, I thought I'd whip up a similar sauce quickly to serve over the dry chicken. Yours was absolutely phenomenal! It had the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and a little tangy. It was perfect! Thank you! :"

"This turned out fantastic! I admit to being a little skeptical, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. I had leftover cranberry sauce from last night's Swedish Meatballs, and this was a perfect way to use that up. I did as another reviewer suggested and put my ham steaks in the oven after searing them while I made the sauce. I had no mustard powder,..."

Willioms', Furniture Officiol Lists Mony Irritoting Incidents It is probable that the Village Board will liberalize tho Zoning Ordinance as it restricts signs as a result of the announcement made by William Lies, jr., vice-president, at the BoaTd meeting Friday night that the Williams Furniture Co. was conslderingnnovlng its. business from Freeport. Mr. Lies cited a list of irritating incidents that had occurcd within eight months culminating in the refusal of the Zoning Board, of """"vT&WK5*-fb"F" the company to install two Illumin-ated Westinghouse signs on it* buildings. Mayor Cyril O. Ryan, lowever, assured Mr. Lies, he was certain things could be rectified to the satisfaction of all concerned. Mi\ Lies said the company had (Uffercd two burglaries, two Ores md been started outside its bu! ta-ngs, $800 worth of plate glass broken necessitating the boarding up of one warehouse because of the expense of replacing broken win-dows, and two automobiles and a ruck stolen. %e added the company purchased two Westlnghouae algns which M%^^ Sfdfe fo-Pface 4 f SunriseHigdwoy an The State Department of Public Works is to install a light at Sunrise Highway any Ocean ove,, eliminating a traRic hazard that has worried drivers for years. This Village Board was advised® of the plan An a letter from R. C. Oeorger, director of the State Traf-fic Commission, at its meeting {Fri-day night. Mr. Oeorger said a survey of traffic conditions at the intersection had been made in com-pliance a request of the •bodrd. After a complete study and a, \careful review of all conditions at the Intersection, he added, the commission had approved the trus-tees' request, for a light: It is to be a seml-vehlciile actu-ated signal^ similar to .those at other Intel-sections 'along Sunrise. Highway. In addition there will be a supplemental'light on Ocean ave., north <Xf the Long Mdand Railroad-^tracks and .the complete .signal will be Ude in. with the rail-road signal system, ao ^hat when the gates are^'dowa red lights will hold up traffic across Sunrise High-way. Further pedestrian push buttons are to be. (Installed so the signal can be actuated by pedestrians crossing the highway. Mr. Oeorger wrote also that con-ditions could be further Improved by the prohibition of parking with-in 60 feet on each side of the In-tersection. Mayor Cyril C. Ryan announced a, .resolution already had been adopted carrying out this sug-gestion. 0 on the warehouse at Sunrise High* 18 way and Henry st. However, he 63 continued, when appHcaUon was a? made for permission to fnstnll the signs, n permit was Denied be-cause they did not comply with the Zoning Ordinance. Then the company applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance and it was denied. Had the aigna been up, Mr. Lies contended, the oncern would have been, sa*cd ome of Its loses due to vandalmm because of the Illumination. "We are making plans to move our main store, our three ware-houses and our delivery system from Freeport," Mr. Lies said in prefacing his remarks. "Several other villages- are anxious for us to locate in their localities." Mr. Lies said the company started in business in Freeport .in -a modest way eighteen years ago, and its buslness^ethics must have met with approval for it now had branches In four other communi-ties on Long "Island, Hem&atead, Lynbropk, Bay ShoreLRnd Hunting-ton. He said the ooard should not only grant OhlefPeter Elar's application" for nine additional pdilcomen, but! might well make the number 18, as " the increase would tend to decrease the damage suffered by merchants through vandalism and attract other con-cerns to Freeport. the and intersection has been regard-eJ^ as th/? most dangerous in the .village . Policemen stationed" there to -regulate trade have been reluc-tant to. accept the assignment. Heretofore the state authorities have refused to Install a light con-tending the crossing was to Orove At. " He expressed regret at having to bring up the subject, but said: "Someone has got to wake up. The situation is very serious. There are too many restrictions which are curbing business,, at this time." Mayor Ryan remarked: "We don't want you to move"%Qt' of; Froeport. We regret these acts of "Vandalism and think we can attend to the things about which you have spoken." ^ , KXWANK8 LADIES NXGHT The ]=Ciwanls blub of Freeport will observe ladies* night to-mqr- ,row night' when supper will be served In thd Sunrise Brayfan Vil-lage; Bellmore.

Upcycle Project | Do it yourself recycling Homemade stationary
We love our trailblazing adventures and like most we need a map to help make the most of our trip. From mountain biking, skiing, hiking, and even just visiting a new town we usually grab a map. But what to do with the map once you leave that new fun place? Saving them is nice but they can get out of date and take up space. So I decided they needed a new purpose, a homemade stationary! Great for if you want to send letters home from where you are, to show people where you were, or to just give some flare.
To get started all you will need is an old envelope the size you want to make yours, scissors, a pen, and a glue stick. Take the recycled envelope you want to use and gently pull it apart at the seams, they are usually just glued, be gentle. Simply lay out the map you want to use on the floor and look around for the best section you want to include as part of your envelope (Creative Bonus: you can pick spots that you were and when you are done make "I was here" notes) and lay down the old envelope template on top of the map and push it down flat against the map while you trace the outline onto the map. Make sure to do dark lines; I suggest a fine tip marker because it can be hard to see on the map later. Lift the template and just snip away, try to cut just a little inside the lines so they do not show on the final envelope. Using the old envelope as a guide check out where the three folds were glued together to make the pocket. Using your magic wand (AKA glue stick) place the glue where it will over lap, make sure not to use too much, and press down. There you have it! Your very own homemade envelope, you know the mailman will be jealous.
BONUS CRAFT: Letter Insert
If you want to take it a step further you can make the letter insert for inside your envelope. I used an old paper bag, but any blank scrap paper or piece of packaging will do. Just trace out the closed envelope size and cut it to be a little smaller to fit inside. Now you are really getting green!
Supplies: -Old Map -Scissors -Glue Stick -Pen

We made the effort to go to the falls and were well rewarded. The sun was shining and there is actually a rainbow over the pool at the base of the waterfall. Some good walks along the trail from the falls.

this was much better than the waterfall in paihia. still, not amazing, but definately worth stopping off. just be careful of all the chickens/hens/whateverthey are# in the car park!
Great Walk. Not sure what is better: the walk there or the falls at the end. We took the long walk (starting at the Stone House) and are glad we did. Would have done it the next day if our itinery allowed.
We were passing the turnoff to the falls so stopped in for a look. It's a very short walk from the car park & there are three different views. First one is the view looking at the falls - even though it was very dry when we were there, there was still water flowing over ... & we even spotted... More
We walked to the falls and back from the Stone Store and Kemp House. It was a glorious walk. Highly recommend a swim at the falls. Take your trunks and find a tree to change behind. We took a picnic and took the better part of the day to take our time and enjoy nature.
This beautiful walk took us 40 min. It is quite and easy walk, through beautiful bush, forest trees, with board walks and viewing platforms. It takes you past the smaller Wharepuku Falls, a weir and the remains of the old Hydro Electric Station. The falls themselves are very graceful, in a quiet peaceful area. There are a number of viewing... More
Must do walk, nice and easy, takes an hour one way but my mother who is 78 enjoyed the walk one way only. Weather was just perfect. Great for anyone who enjoys nature and not to hard a walk.
It is a pleasant and peaceful 8.5 km round trip from the historic stone store through "Lord of the rings" type temperate rainforest to the waterfall. There are many opportunities along the way for bird watching and photography. The gradients are moderate and the path well maintained. This is a highly recommended walk if visiting the Kerikeri region in Northland.... More
Rainbow falls are simply beautiful. It's not a long walk to either the top or the bottom but I'd say its well worth a little detour to see them. It was a sunny day so we just sat at the bottom with our feet in the cold water and enjoyed the view with a fine spray from the water. Toilets... More
WE walked the trail, vs driving there, but it was worth the hike, mostly a flat pleasant trail, passing by Wharepoke falls first, which had a few people swimming in it, the view points for the Rainbow falls was fairly quiet, and the falls were good, tho more rain would help. A restroom is available there, and parking lot for... More
