Monochromatic CQ RR~share in our pictures of these blocks and stitches with us!
Pat, just letting you know I got the green block today...Thanks!
My DH told me that a pkg from Jackie arrived today. I can't wait to see what is waiting for me when I return home on Sat.
I received the block from alexmarose yesterday and already have started on it. Being the last one to work on it is actually easier - less space means fewer options, easier decisions...
yay, I am glad my block arrived to bjeanes and I am glad to know Patv82 has my block. We are almost done, I am excited to see mine upclose. Pictures are looking great!
Here is Patsy`s block, we all agreed to a little extra time.
Hers is going out today.
I am not sure why it is coming out so small, I did it at 150 pixels.
But here is #2
Very pretty!

Of course I love "Love". I think a word or two on these blocks make them special. Pretty!
here is my finished block. I love it, ty Tammy, Amber and Lois for giving me such a beautiful block.
Tammy you pix is too small and my picture is HUGE. I don't know how to make it smaller.

Trying to see if this is any better with Microsoft photo editor. Wow, you sure can see the detail in your large photo much better!This message has been edited. Last edited by: holee,
It is a lovely block! I am sure you are thrilled Patsy!
I am thrilled beyond belief. Lois, Tammy and Amber did a beautiful job creating my block. i'm ready to start another one. LOL
Although most of the stitchers are finished with their RR blocks and have received their own back home we still have 5 stitchers still going for the month of August. So...please stay tuned and check back for more pix of more stitching and beautiful finished blocks!
I have finished the work on Bjeannes quilt and will send it Monday.
There were two large light pink areas to quilt. I used a quilting motif for the first one and ribbon and a leather type flower for the second. I added lace across top with pink ribbon.
Really lovely

It just looks so pretty! I was wondering what you would do with the swirly part..perfect!
1st I would like to say my pink block is looking great! can't wait to see it for real
Next, I am done with my last block and will be mailing it out in a few days.
Here is a picture of the whole block
Here is a picture of the 1st area I worked on
This is the other seam I did
This has been a fun RR and I am glad I got to be a part of it.
This block is great I love the steampunk effect

Just letting you know Jackie, I am working on your block and trying to meet the time line.
That's not a problem if you need it longer since it's the end of the RR.
I am clicking right along on Holee's block. The block (and DH & I) enjoyed a road trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail!. I would ask my DH if "we were stopping anytime soon?" His reply would be he was waiting until I got the block out, with threads and accessories and started a few stitches. Then he would find a reason to stop!
I want to say again how beautiful everyone's work is on these blocks. I always see the "trees before the forest" so it's been tough to visualize what my contribution will look like after everyone else puts in their stitches.
What a pleasant surprise I've had. All of you have been so encouraging and inspirational. I would love to do another CQ swap. But I'm gonna steal Holee's idea - white/off white make a great starter block.
Smiles & Stitches
Take your time Pat on my block. I'm in no hurry and I'm still working on Jackie's block.
I always love the white to tan blocks because when you get them back you can add color if you want too or in this case, my granddaughter is putting it in an old window frame with other wedding items that are neutral colors.
Marching on to the end!
Forgot to say the gray block looks really different and I love all the additions to it as it made it's trip around. Enjoy Colleen!
Ooooh!!! I love my grey block!!! Can hardly wait to get it home and really study it! It is better than I had imagined. Thank you all!
Pat, I am pokey with your lovely blue block...heading to Alaskan cruise with my dad and DH this Sat...would you be terribly upset if I am a tad late mailing out to you? Say...early September? I will try hard to get it finished up this week but am feeling a time crunch so would rather take my time and do my best work. Thank you for understanding.
Of course, take your time. I have had three road trips myself since we started. I have no expectations for a specific deadline.
Enjoy your trip !
Here is one section I worked on for Jackie's block
Bjeanes, guess what I saw in the back seat of my car today? Your CQ! I totally forgot to send it out. I PROMISE I will mail it tomorrow.
Ladies, I'm not in this CQ project, but have been following your beautiful blocks as they make their rounds. I've never done cq, but have an idea that makes me want to learn a tiny bit of your skills. I'm in awe! So many ideas & so much talent
Tisme, check PM.
I remembered to mail the pkg! yay!
thanks, I will be watching for it
Pat, I stuck to it and got my part completed on your block! Yea! I will be mailing it out tomorrow.
Very pretty

pretty, can't wait to see it up close!
I sent Colleen's block out to her on Sat. and received my pink one - it is just amazing and can't wait to give it to DIL.
Thanks to everyone that was involved! I had a great time doing this RR.
Received and so impressed. Just love what everyone did.
I should be mailing Holee hers tomorrow.
Thank you!
Wow ladies - I've just read through all of your posts and enjoyed all of the pictures. The stitching and colors are all so gorgeous. It makes me want to get my cq stuff back out - it's been a while !! Kudos to all of you
I got my CQ block back and I want to say thank you ladies for working on my block, it turned out so pretty. I love all the little designs you thought of. I am going to "borrow" ideas for future projects!
A special thank you to holee for doing extra stitching to fill in the blank spaces on my block, you did a fantastic job!
I only had my cell phone when I remembered to take a picture before coming downstairs, I will take one tonight with my camera to get a clearer picture to post.
sooo pretty. the girls did a great job on your block.
Beautiful blocks!
This was a fun round robin for me, and I hope we do another one real soon.

I agree Kathy, I can't wait to do a new swap too.
I would love to try a cream monochromatic or a Christmas themed one...
I agree both sound like fun

-Edgar Allan Poe-
Holee - I want to share what a wonderful and sharing person you are. Sending me a special package of threads, fabrics, lace and embellishments to get me jump started on the next project - which you included! I still can't believe it. THANK YOU!!
On a sadder note, I did not get to the PO today with your block. I will definitely send you a message either tomorrow or Tuesday when I get it mailed off.
Again, thank you for all your encouragement and confidence in me. I definitely would love to do a CQ swap again.
Pat, Sorry I didn't get out to the store for the needles I wanted to add. I think the more you do the better you'll get & the more you will enjoy it. Glad it was something you can use.
Don't stress over the block. It's a holiday and we all want to enjoy the last one of summer
Hello stitch friends!! Just wanted to pop in and say that I had my GORGEOUS grey block waiting for me when I returned home from my trip yesterday. It is a stunner! The pix we post are truly great and a good way to see stitches and what is going on with the blocks but they truly do not do the actual pieces justice. My block is gorgeous and such detail by everyone! Thank you all! Thank you all again for a great RR also. At this time I think everyone has received their blocks back home. If I am wrong please let me know ASAP. Fun time ladies. Thanks.

It appears Condoleezza Rice will not be giving the commencement speech at Rutgers University after all.
The former secretary of state declined the invitation after protests by some faculty and students over her role in the Iraq war.
Rice said in a statement Saturday that she informed Rutgers President Robert Barchi that she was declining the invitation to speak at the graduation.
"Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families," Rice said. "Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."
The school's board of governors had voted to pay $35,000 to the former secretary of state under President George W. Bush and national security adviser for her appearance at the May 18 ceremony.
But some students and faculty at New Jersey's flagship university had protested, staging sit-ins and saying Rice bore some responsibility for the Iraq War as a member of the Bush administration. Barchi and other school leaders had resisted the calls to dis-invite Rice, saying the university welcomes open discourse on controversial topics.
Currently, Rice is a professor of political science at Stanford University.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed a motion to intervene in the case of three same-sex couples challenging the constitutionality of a state law that bars them from marrying, saying he "has a duty to defend a state law if it is enacted property and is consistent with the Constitution."
Morrisey announced his decision Friday, Nov. 22 saying he was acting "for the sole and limited purpose of defending the constitutionality of the statutes in question."
The lawsuit was filed Oct. 1 in U.S. District Court's Huntington Division by Casie McGee and Sarah Elizabeth Adkins, Justin Murdock and William Glavaris and Nancy Michael and Jane Fenton, who'd said they were denied marriage licenses by clerks in Cabell and Kanawha counties who said state law prohibited them from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
In their suit, the couples pointed out the statute "cannot be explained by references to legitimate public policies that could justify the disadvantage the marriage bans impose on same-sex couples who wish to marry."
Named as defendants were Cabell County Clerk Karen S. Cole and Kanawha County Clerk Vera J. McCormick.
Morrisey had until Dec. 3 to decide if he would intervene.

Home Football (Soccer) FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona was founded in 1889 by Joan Gamper, and he was the inspiration and driving force behind the Club's first quarter of a century. His role at FC Barcelona spanned player, director and president. FC Barcelona has humble beginnings in October 1899; Gamper placed an advert in the Los Deportes magazine to find players interested in forming a football team. On Nov 29th the team formed and this was the simple beginnings for what many football fans around the world consider to be the greatest team of all time. The club colures were set at this time and every kit has always been the familiar red and claret that the team still proudly sport today.
FC Barcelona won its first official title in 1902 and between the years of 1910-1913 the team won its first national and international titles. The team went from strength to strength and experienced a golden age of football in the 1920's. The team survived the depression, wars and hard times that made up the majority of the 30's and 40's and returned to prominence in the 1950's starting t obuild a new ground in 1954 and in 1957 the amazing CAMP NOU opened. The Barcelona stadium is a modern wonder of the world and has the largest crowd capacity in the whole of Europe.
Attending a game today at the CAMP NOU is amazing and can take your breath away as the capacity of the 100,000 crowd energise all the players who grace this amazing pitch. It is an experience every football fan should enjoy at least once.
FC Barcelona has been home to many of the world's greatest footballers throughout its history, to name a few such as Ronaldo de Assís Moreira 'Ronaldinho', Samuenl Eto'o, Vitor Borba Ferreira 'RIVALDO', Ronald 'Tintin' Koeman, Andoni Zubizarreta, Diego Armando Maradona the list spans every decade in the clubs history and each of the superstars of FC Barcelona have won the hearts of not only the local club supporters but also the recognition and respect of the leading clubs and fans of the beautiful game all over the world.
FC Barcelona is a club born out of the love of sport and they have been without any doubt one of the best football clubs in the world winning numerous national and international titles and to experience a game played by any of the FC Barcelona teams is to experience the game of football played at the very highest level.

Pay for online news? No way
A large majority of Americans are unwilling to pay anything at all for online content from daily newspapers.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Newspapers and other traditional media outlets have spent a lot of time and money trying to figure out how to charge their online readers, who are often getting a free ride when they read news online.
But the latest Adweek/Harris poll shows that a large majority of Americans -- 80% -- say they are willing to pay exactly "nothing" to read a daily newspaper online.
Some would pay, but not very much: 14% said they would pay between $1 and $10 per month, while very few said they would be willing to pay between $11 and $20 (4%) or more than $20 per month (2%).
- Calculator:Is your budget in balance?
The New York Times recently put up a paywall, charging online readers who view more than 20 articles per month. The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times also charge for online content. Post continues after video.
But while online paywalls are becoming more common, fewer people said they would be willing to pay to read content online than said so (23%) in late 2009.
Other findings of the poll include:
- Younger adults are more likely to pay for a daily newspaper's online content. Just over a quarter of those between 18 and 34 said they would, compared with between 15% and 18% of other age groups.
- 25% of men said they would pay, while only 15% of women said they would.
- The more education a person has, the more likely he or she is willing to pay to read a daily newspaper's content online: 28% of college graduates, 19% of people who have attended some college, and 15% of those who have not attended any college at all.

Invision International Health Solutions - Earth's Finest Silver 100 Ionic Silver Complex Spray 100 Ppm - 2 oz.
Invision International Health Solutions Earth's Finest Silver 100 Ionic Silver Complex Spray 100 Ppm is the state-of-the-art technology for delivering silver ions to the body. It is designed to surpass all other forms of silver in performance, efficiency, purity, consistency and stability. Invision International Health Solutions Earth's Finest Silver 100 Ionic Silver Complex has gained the reputation for being the leading-edge product in the field by health professionals, retailers and users.
Silver ions are what does the work
Silver only exists in two states in the physical universe: atoms or ions. Silver atoms comprise silver metal and are entirely inert – they cannot afford the body with the benefit of any bioactive effects whatsoever. Only in the ionic state does silver exhibit its remarkably bioactive effects.
A delivery mechanism is needed
Silver ions require a deliberate delivery system in order to be introduced into the system and gradually released. Otherwise, they will tend to bind up with other substances in the mouth and gut such as chlorides and proteins, rendering them incapable of spreading through the system. This is because silver ions are silver atoms that are missing an electron (giving them a positive charge). As ions, they are attracted to anything in the system that can restore their electron balance, and the body is loaded with substances that will do that. Therefore, a delivery system is essential.
Delivery entails stabilization and then release
All silver products used internally by humans, whether called ionic silver, colloidal silver, or any other name, function by doing one thing and one thing only: carrying stabilized silver ions into the body and then releasing them as active ions once in the system, where they can provide any potential bioactive benefits. Opti- Silver simply does this with far more efficiency than any other product in existence.
Colloidal silver is good but is very limited
While colloidal silver can work remarkably well, it only provides a fraction of the potential that ionic silver offers. The problem with colloidal silver is that only a small portion of the silver is ionic, and only a small portion of that is ever released in the body as bioactive ions because it's in the form of silver oxide and/or silver hydroxide, which is far too stable to ever dissociate and yield silver ions while passing through the body before being excreted.
Silver 100™ with Opti-Silver™ is far more efficient than all other forms of silver
Silver 100™ with Opti-Silver™ utilizes an entirely new approach to silver ion delivery in the human body. It is designed to overcome all the limitations of colloidal silver and all other forms of silver. It utilizes a proprietary method of complexing silver ions with a specific form of citrate that acts as the stabilizer and delivery vehicle. Silver 100™ is designed to gradually decomplex, and thereby release the silver ions, only after being absorbed well into the system. It is designed to deliver all of its silver as ions.
The key to gaining the benefits of silver is the controlled release of silver ions in the body, the only bioactive form of silver. To achieve this, silver ions must first be captured or stabilized, transported into the system, and then released or activated. Otherwise, they will bind up with substances in the mouth, stomach and blood and become useless.
Colloidal silver and other forms of silver, whether called ionic or colloidal or what have you, often work quite well yet they still provide only a fraction of the potential — only a small portion of the silver is ionic, and only a small portion of that is ever released in the body. Only patented Opti-Silver™ unleashes the real potential of ionic silver, with drastically superior efficiency and performance.
What all this means to you is that you get far superior chemistry, information, and performance.
Far superior manufacturing process
Most other forms of silver, whether called colloidal silver, silver hydrosol, mild silver protein, and so on, are made through a process called electrolysis, which consists of putting two metal rods in water with the ends sticking out, clipping wires to them and running electricity across them, and allowing the silver rod to deteriorate into the water. The process was created more than a hundred years ago, before we had an understanding of modern chemistry or even of how colloidal silver works.
Opti-Silver™ is made by utilizing a complete understanding of modern chemistry. The ingredients are all reagent grade chemical powders, of which the exact molecular make-ups are fully understood. The manufacturing process entails a very deliberate process.
Silver 100™ is made through an entirely different process than is colloidal silver, using no electrolysis. It is extremely consistent from drop to drop, has virtually no impurities whatsoever, and has years of shelf life under normal conditions.
We start with citric acid and tri-potassium citrate. We mix them in ultra-pure in such a way that we remove one citrate from the tri-potassium citrate and combine it with the citric acid to create dibasic citrate with potassium. We then mix in silver oxide (Ag2O) and remove the silver ion from it, which we marry to the dibasic citrate. This results in the Opti-Silver™ formulation that consists of silver citrate (predominantly dibasic citrate with a little monobasic citrate silver and a little tribasic citrate silver) with potassium as the counter -ion.
Suggested Use:For regular daily use, adults and children use up to 1 spray per 30 lbs of body weight per day. For short-term needs, adults and children may use up to 1 spray per 30 lbs of body weight a few times per day. May also be mixed in water (or juice).
(Note: 3 drops are equal to approximately 1 spray.)
Using it every day — Using Silver 100™ on an ongoing daily basis is the very best way to take maximum advantage of what it has to offer.
Short-term use — For short-term considerations, you may want to use the maximum recommended daily amount a few times throughout the day for a few days or up to a few weeks. The recommended daily amount on the label is the guideline you should follow for ongoing daily use. If you use more than that for more than a short period of time, you may want to refer to the guidelines for the safe use of silver.
Mixing in water or juice — It's usually best to take Silver 100™ undiluted, straight from the bottle. Holding it in the mouth a moment before swallowing may facilitate absorption into the blood. You can also mix it in some pure water ("distilled" or "reverse osmosis filtered" is best), or juice (though pure water is better). To help deliver it to the gastrointestinal tract for a specific reason, mix it in about 4-8 ounces of pure water (or juice) and drink it right away to help get it into the gastrointestinal tract (for this purpose, it's best to take it on an empty stomach). Avoid storing a mix in water or juice for future use since that could decrease the efficiency of the delivery; mix only what you're going to use right away.
Helping the body detoxify — Using Silver 100™ may result in increasing the body's need to eliminate dead germs. If this becomes uncomfortable, reduce the amount and gradually increase it over a few days or longer. Drinking plenty of water, and eating lightly, will facilitate the detoxification process. If a chronic or severe condition exists, or if you have a compromised elimination system, chronic respiratory congestion or especially asthma, detoxification might become more of an issue, in which case you should start with as little as 1-2 drops, or 1 spray, of Silver 100™ per day and gradually increase it at a comfortable rate according to your body's reactions.
Ingredients: Opti-Silver™ (ions of silver complexed with citrate and potassium for optimized delivery), deionized water.
Silver content: 100 parts per million

I'm not as happy with the product. In regular day light on the highest brightness sights are hard to see. The battery that came with it was dead on arrival. The next battery only lasted about two hours. and the third battery the same. For the price of the batteries about $3.50 each it will be better to just buy a new sight that works better. for the weekend one hour on the range shooter this would be a good cheap sight to start with. I would not recommend this for someone who shoots alot.

Installed on my Keltec KSG shoot gun, and so far so good, works great, looks great, better than flip up sights. Can't beat for the money.

Great product. easy to install and zero in.
I ordered two of them and both had no green display only red someone swaped out the red and green ones for ones with only a red display, I called CS. And they said that they would have quality control check it out and they would call with in 48hrs. It's been over a week so know ill call the BBB and have you checked out for false advertiseing and fraude .
Good sight for short range shots w/22lr.

Aprilia's updated 2012 Dorsoduro 1200 is currently being put through its paces in the foothills of Mount Etna, Sicily, by MCN Senior Road Tester Adam Child. Here are his first impressions: "We've got the perfect roads for this type of bike: switchback hairpin after switchback hairpin. For 2012 the Dorsoduro 1200 has shed some weight – over 2kg just from ...

Electronic rider aids are where it's at right now, love 'em or loathe 'em, and the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) has the smoothest, most sophisticated system of any current motorcycle. The Italian machine's clever computerised brain will help you change gear, control a spinning rear wheel, keep the front wheel on the ground under hard acceleration ...

It might be the first big scooter ever to catch your attention – and then only for an instant, because you thought it was a melted RSV4 – but the new Aprilia SRV850 begs the question: would you? It's 2011 after all, sports bikes no longer attract universal esteem and we've all got a bit more broad-minded. Are you ready ...

Aprilia has just released this picture of its new maxi-scoot – the SRV850. It's basically an updated, face-lifted version of sister-company Gilera's GP800. The Noale firm took a similar approach recently when it launched the SR Max 300 scoot which was also essentially an updated, facelifted version of Gilera's Nexus. The SRV has the same basic rolling chassis as the ...

The Aprilia SL1000 Falco is a half-faired 'street sports' version of the RSV that never quite took off in the way it could have. The fact it is often overlooked makes it a great second hand buy. The Falco uses a detuned version of the 60° V-twin engine from the Mille. Less powerful it may be, but the Aprilia SL1000 ...

Aprilia's new SR Max 300 fits neatly into the overcrowded maxi-scooter class, but with a less than subtle difference from its rivals – the Aprilia actually looks exciting to ride. With styling allegedly based on the RSV4 superbike – a little far-fetched, although the black/red colour scheme is eye-catching and the angular layout of the bike is striking – it ...

How quick things change. Just a few years ago if you wanted a performance 125 it had to be a two-stroke. Now the 'ring-dingers' have virtually disappeared, made obsolete by emissions regulations and replaced by four-strokes. Encouragingly, though, this hasn't led to the demise of the sports 125 – in fact far from it. The 125 learner market continues to ...
28 September 2011 17:03
The two-stroke Aprilia RS125 was without doubt the top motorcycle for most right-thinking teenagers when it first rolled out of the factory in 1995. Aprilia has just launched a new 15bhp four-stroke - the RS4 125 - but the rev-hungry RS125 is still on sale and will be until at least 2012. But for those wanting a bit more excitement from their ...

Whether you're a 17-year-old-yoof or a 47-year-old-dad the dilemma's the same: which learner sports 125 should you go for when on a budget? Sports 125s are the most popular choice for learners for their mix of image, fun and manageability, but few are lucky enough to have £4000 or more to buy the latest and greatest examples new. So what ...

Since Arizona doesn't have any snow days to worry about, we are in our last two weeks of school now. My son's charter school has an interesting way of dealing with the last week of school — term projects. They are weeklong studies taught by regular teachers mixing grade levels. Some have more education value than others. However, it keeps the kids occupied without sending homework or letting them straight up watch TV to kill time.
Here are some examples:
- Martial arts for 5th and 6th graders
- Teen Shakespeare for 7th through 10th graders
- Sci-Fi Movie Days for 6th and 7th graders (I assume there is discussion attached to the watching.)
- School mural — 5th and 6th graders — painting a school mural
- Digging up your roots for 7th through 10th graders — exploring their family trees
- Motor building for 8th through 10th graders – with the science teacher
- Perseus Past and Present — 5th through 6th graders — taught by the Latin teacher
- Sports — 6th through 8th graders –
- Medieval Castles for 5th graders taught by the classics teacher
- Living Wax Museum for 6th and 7th graders — They research someone and then dress up like them
- Chess Championship for 5th through 7th grade
- Documentary film making or 8th through 10th
- Creative building for 5th through 10th
- Star Wars for 5th and 6th
- Game shows 5th and 6th
- Intro to Italian for 5th through 10th
- Card Games for 7th through 10th
- Comicon for 5th through 10th
- Math games for 5th and 6th
- World of Music for 5th and 6th
- Table games for 5th through 10th
Obviously some have more educational value than other. A few had fees attached (like $20) but Walsh was trying to same me money so he only put in for the free ones. He ended up with table games, which may not be a bad thing. He hates to lose so maybe it will be good to practice in a school setting.
I forgot to mention they also are cutting the school day short the whole last week. They are starting school about 55 minutes later and getting out at 1:25 instead of 2:45 p.m. Walsh in thrilled. His sisters who are on a different schedule are not. (The school will still obviously hit their required number of learning hours but I have no idea how this is all working out.)
So what do you think about the idea of mixed-grade projects for the last week of school? What do you think about shortening the days?
May 12th, 2014

I love the projects! It's too bad that they're only reserved for the end of the year. It sounds as if many have great value. It's about time to see a traditional school think out of the box — or beyond teaching to the test!
I think that shortening the days could be a nightmare for parents, specifically those for whom coordinating drop off and pick up would be a challenge. Prior to being a full-time SAHM, I worked outside of the home and any change to my childcare arrangements reeked havoc…Grr! Hopefully, parents will be able to easily accommodate the time changes.

Pretty cool! The Atlanta Girls School used to have a "mid-winter session", a one or two week period after the Christmas holidays and mid-January where they did something similar –several non-traditional topics that the girls could explore in-depth for a week or two.

Wow! Take a week off with no work (I can't do that) and then put a lousy blog out for Monday followed by Tuesday's post which is decent because of no cut-and-paste.
If I was a parent of a kid who was taking Theresa's class and monitored her content I would seriously want my money back and question the nature of higher education.

Honestly, I would LOVE it if my children's school was doing something like this. It seems like since CRCTs finished, they've done NOTHING. This week there is Field Day each day (broken up by grade level), which means the other grades have an adjusted schedule and THAT translates to extra recess, less instruction time, etc.
Next week, Monday is the only full day of school. Tuesday is early release as is Wednesday, their last day of school.
The kids have brought home NO work, have had zero homework and aren't even taking spelling tests, math quizzes…no tests of any kind. It's as if all instruction ceased the minute they began CRCTs.
I would MUCH rather the kids stay in school until the end of this month, actually learning. Then not start school until mid to late August, instead of the August 4th start date.
But hey…I live in Cobb…I"m sure by this time next year, our dutiful school board will have changed the school calendar, yet again. Sigh.

My son is in 7th grade at Inman Middle (APS), It's been business as usual since CRCT was over. I thought they would skate into the end of the year but they haven't. He's had a math project and now he's working on a science project.
Personally, I am a proponent in the time-honored tradition of skating through the last month of school. I grew up going to private school and we had our own version of yearly testing (different state, too). And after it was over there was minimal homework and no projects for the rest of the year. Then there was a final exam week. And finals were always easy compared to midterms.
So, I wish my son had that. But he's got a more rigorous education than I had.
He's definitely looking forward to summer.

Many of these projects sound great. When I was teaching, I would do things like take the books we had read and then find the movie. We would do debates and comparison writings. Let me tell you kids can be brutal about the changes. We had written and oral debates that went on for whole class periods. I got some of the best writing from them because they were so passionate about how they felt about the book or movie. They also wanted to REALLY convince each other about the way they saw things. They learned to argue without fighting and to look at things from other's perspectives. They also did research to find information to better support their written comparisons or side of a debate.

@TLH I am in Cobb too. Must depend on the school. The Middle School is in the process of collecting text books right now. 8th grade has a major test in math this week (much like a final), Language has a final this week, Science had 2 projects (one last week and a rocket on Monday), Field Day was last week Thursday the same as the Orchestra Concert, English had a test last Friday on Divergent, there is a DBQ today in Social Studies. The next few days there are a few assignments mostly in class, and the rest of tying up loose ends. Monday is the picnic for the 8th grade and Wednesday is the talent show… At some point they will hand out yearbooks and let the kids sign those…and that is important.
Elementary school still has had tests. There is a decade project (they research the decade and do a presentation), she still had spelling as of last week. Again, they are collecting the text books this week. Next week the 5th grade has a picnic. Wednesday is the 5th grade walk (and I need a huge box of tissues already…I never knew I would miss this….I HATED most of our ES career!…..but I find myself actually sad to be leaving it behind). They too will have yearbook signing time. Plus a pool party after "graduation".
Only the HS students (who have finals starting Friday) will have all the real studying…Local HS Final Schedule: 1st period exam Friday…rest of day class as usual. Monday 2nd and 4th period exams, Tuesday 3rd and 5th period, Wednesday 6th and 7th. Plus the 12th grade has all the graduation hoopla to do!
For the younger kids do you really want them studying to the last day of school? Through the end of this week absolutely!
At our old elemtary school in Fulton….the 3rd grade did "Camp" the last days of school. Every room had tents set up…and they got a shoe box from their parents that had mail. treats, and so on…they did play games but much of them were based on remembering what they had done all year. My older child did this program and still has her shoebox. They did NOTHING like this in our current school and it always made me sad (one of the things I won't miss).
@ Witchy…my oldest has had the read the book then see the movie the last few days of school/term in her Middle School career. They just read Divergent and when she was done I took her to see the movie…she was very passionate about why the book was better…I think it really helped her focus more on the book for her tests and she did very well on them. She saw City of Bones before reading the book, and because she thinks Jamie Campbell is cute she loves the movie. However she really got into the book so much she read them all! SHe is very quick to say the book did this better, or that makes no sense in the movie because they don't explain it! Not everyone will read the book you know! (This from the kid who faught me about reading any book if a movie was out-lol).

Good homechool parents treat everything as a learning opportunity (kind of like life should be). I guess Mr. Zuckerberg learned his $100 million lesson the hard way about the government school system. When is everyone else going to learn?
May 13th, 2014
1:30 pm
@Hidden Agende – good parents, no matter where their kids go to school, treat everything as a learning opportunity. Most people, home school or government school or private school, don't feel the need to talk about every single detail about how awesome they are when the topic isn't about them.

@iRun, bravo and well said. If you feel led to and capable of homeschooling your kids, well whatever blows your dress up. My little guys are in preschool and love their teachers who provide them with a different learning experience than I can.
On topic, I think this is a great idea. I especially like that they mix the grade levels. I think that would be beneficial for all involved. Too bad they save it all for the end of school. It might be really cool if they could do something like this quarterly.

@Bertha: Sorry, I had to laugh at your post, "If I was a parent of a kid who was taking Theresa's class and monitored her content I would seriously want my money back and question the nature of higher education."
One, I cannot imagine being the parent of a college student and "monitoring" their teachers' blogs. Really? Really? If so, you take helicopter parenting to a new level.
Secondly, do you really think that this little blog is the sum total of T's journalistic endeavors, and is what she bases her entire college curriculum on? If so, you have a very strange view of academia.
May 13th, 2014
7:17 pm
@TLH and @FCM: In Cobb as well. Field Day for elementary and still some testing for Middle Schoolers, plus "Olympics." I was told the elementary students would have no more homework, but they do have a spelling test this week so at least they are on the hook for something. It seems like they are so concerned about losing time to snow days for CRCT, but then the last couple of weeks it's a free-for-all type environment.

Categories: Business and Energy, Production Industries, Building and Construction, Output in the Construction Industry, Economy, National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Output
Frequency of release: Monthly
Language: English
Geographical coverage: GB
Geographical breakdown: Region
Survey name(s): Construction: Output & Employment
In recent periods construction output has been volatile, rising by 1.9% in Q2 2013 after a decline of 1.3% in Q1 2013 and the picture has been similarly volatile in the first two months of Q3 2013 with July showing growth of 2.8% while August shows a decrease of 0.1%.
ONS estimates that in August 2013 the seasonally adjusted volume of monthly construction output decreased by 0.1% when compared with July 2013 (see figure 1). This slight decrease was apparent in both new work and repair & maintenance, which fell 0.1% and 0.2% respectively.
Looking in more detail at this monthly picture, there were mixed performances across the different types of work. Notably private industrial and private housing both saw new work increase by 3.9% and 1.6% respectively, while public other new work and private housing repair and maintenance fell by 3.2% and 1.8% respectively.
When comparing August 2013 with August 2012 construction output increased by 4.0% (see figure 1) predominantly due to a 5.5% increase in new work. Within the new work category, new housing increased by 16.7% while infrastructure fell by 5.5% when compared with August 2012. In August 2013, these sectors account for approximately 32% and 19% of all new work respectively.
Construction output shows year on year growth for three consecutive months for the first time since May 2011 with the main contribution to this growth coming from the new housing work. The article 'Growth in new housing construction gains momentum' provides more detail.
Comparing the three months, June to August, with the same three months 12 months ago, the output of construction increased by 3.0%. Over the same period new housing showed growth of 14.7%, the largest three month on a year growth since January to March 2011. Construction output grew by 2.4% when compared with the previous three months (March to May 2013).

SPOKANE, WASH. -- The hunt for a North Spokane murder suspect ended Wednesday. Police confirmed that they arrested murder suspect Joshua Tillery, 33. He was wanted for the murder of Devon Mack.
Officers found Tillery on at home near 2100 N. Ruby on Wednesday morning. Spokane police and U.S. Marshalls are on scene. Authorities said Tillery came out peacefully.
Angelina Orr witnessed the arrest at the home near Ruby and Baldwin.
"A whole bunch of cop cars pulled up to the driveway," said Orr, "they all had their guns pulled, shields in front of their face. They called them to come out. A guy came out with his hands up. They arrested him."
Authorities arrested Tillery and detained two other people. One of the detainees could face charges for rendering criminal assistance according to police. Officers said they have been monitoring the house for several days.
"It's still scary to even think about it, being that close, obviously he's been there for a couple days," said Orr, "It's so scary to think I've been right here next door to him."
Detectives believe Tillery, 33, shot Mack in the head at a Spokane home Friday, May 3th.
KREM 2 News spoke to Mack's widow on Wednesday. She said she's grateful that the search for Tillery is over, but it is doing little to ease her pain.
Police already questioned one person of interest, Tara Radar.
Court documents stated that Josh Tillery arrived at the house near Princeton and Lincoln carrying groceries shortly before Mack was killed. Major Crime's detectives believe Tillery shot Mack in the head inside the house.

Halle Berry won big at the NAACP Image Awards over the weekend. Halle took home a trophy for Best Actress and Best Independent Roles. What movies were they for?
Halle has been doing a lot of good work lately, but it is being overshadowed by her drama in the news.
Prince was there to award Berry the best actress and best independent movie titles according to USA Today. Her and Sophia Vergara posed together on the red carpet, "comparing notes on how to stay perfect."
In an Emilio Pucci gown, Berry "was one of the most beautiful women on the red carpet who stole everyone's heart," StyleBistro explained. Her makeup, jewelry, and shoes all came together to compliment the dress.
The look was topped off with a pixie cut, which the actress is always sporting. It is adored by fans and really made the whole look work for her.
Do you think Halle was deserving of the award this year? She looked awesome in her sparkly dress! Congrats Halle!

I'm not a religious man By: machiner Date: February 25, 2009, 11:14:37 PM
Today was a gift from God.
I keep thinking that a plane has to fall on my head or something for that stupid demand that there has to be a balance. If I wake up tomorrow then that whole notion is a dead stick. There are no monsters about, no Godzilla sightings or Hurricanes. The Earth isn't trembling and I can still see, no ills. I think my chances are good.
Even my favorite Family Guy episode is on.

Summary: Book One. 15 year old Gil Grissom killed his step-father from beating his deaf mother. He exposed the body, cutting his organs and selling them though the black market to get money to pay off the hospital bills to save his mother from her failing health. Read his dark thoughts that helped lead the man that we knew of what he became...
Chapter Six
"sign language"
Jim hung up the phone, and just as he was about to turn to find Gil he heard a whine coming from the living room.
He looked up as he saw what looked like a dirty dog lying on its back on the couch, as if owning the place. He stood there, trying to comprehend that he was not imaging things. If he remembered correctly, Gil did not have any pets, if you don't count insects and rodents in cages in his room.
Just then Gil came back from the hallway. "What did your brother say?" he asked him.
"What's up with the dog?" Jim asked, as if he was not hearing the question.
Gil sighed. "It was the old man's dog that I told you about. Nina (1) needs a home, so I took her in." the dog, Nina looked up at Gil when she heard her name called.
"You named it already?" Jim asked, not surprised.
Gil rolled his eyes. "What did your brother say?" he repeated the question.
"Oh, he says no problem. But he also said if he gets arrested again, it'll be my head."
Gil nodded. Adam Brass, the elder brother, was a junky that was trying to keep clean of any drugs and anything gang related. So far in his five years probation that he is on (got three years to go) he had failed many times. Gil knew that Adam knew people that would help him get his mother in the hospital without getting deception from the doctors and the police. Adam never admits it to anyone, but Adam also knew people from the black market.
"When is he getting here?" Gil asked Jim.
"Within an hour."
Gil sighed in frustration. His mother is dying and he had to wait an hour for the jerk?
"So, what's the plan? After we get your mother to the hospital?" Jim asked him.
"I need some money." Gil told him as if the most obvious thing in the world was.
Jim shook his head. "Don't look at me, Gil. My family does not have money tree in the backyard."
Gil rolled his eyes. He motions his hands towards him. Jim, a little confused followed Gil outside to the pickup. He watched as Gil opened a cooler. It was covered in dry ice.
"What's with the--" Jim started to ask, when Gil moved some of the dry ice and picked up a jar that was filled in blood and handed to him.
Jim's eyes widen. "Oh my God, is that a fucking kidney!?" he yelped. Gil snatches the jar back into his hands not wanting Jim to drop it.
"What are you doing with all these organs?"
"With your brother's help, we are going to sell them. I looked it up in the Internet. A heart could sell between 10 grand to 50 grand each.
Jim whistled. 10 or 50 grand? And what does he mean 'we'?
"What the hell do you mean about 'we'?"
"I need your help."
"Come on Gil. I am not just some person that you use and throw away like trash! I have a life; I am planning on joining the Marines and after that join the law enforcement. How can I do that when I am locked in jail?"
"Good luck on that." Gil said. Jim glared at him. "Don't worry. If we get caught, I will get the blame. No one will know that you and your brother help me."
Jim looked at the younger man. "You swear?"
"I swear on my mother's life that you and your brother will not be blamed."
Jim slowly nodded. He felt he could trust Gil.
Gil and Jim sat in the living room. Throughout the whole hour, Gil went back to check on his mother. She was starting to get worse.
"How's your mother?" Jim asked after the fifth time Gil came back from his mother's room.
"Not good. I think she's dying." Gil said putting his hands to his face as he sat down the sofa.
Jim didn't know what to do. He and Gil aren't friends, so it was hard to comfort him.
Jim's thoughts broke as both the boy heard a knock on the front door. Jumping from the couch, Gil stood up and walked up to the door looking through the tiny hole. There stood Jim's brother who looked behind himself as if he was hiding something or that someone was after him.
Gil unlocked the door and as the older boy walked into the house; Gil grabbed him by the neck and shoveling him to the nearest wall.
"Hey!" Jim yelped seeing Gil grabbing his brother.
Gil ignored him. "What took you so long, Brass?" he sneered at the young man.
"Easy there, punk. I'm only here because my little bro here said you need help. Bro and I have a deal. Not my fault that it took me a while to shake off the cops down the street."
Gil let him go. Adam rubbed around the red spot on his neck. Man, he has to watch out from this kid, he has a strong grip.
Adam nodded at his brother. "So what's the big hurry that you needed me for bro? My gal, man, she just called me. Do you know what I'm missing? She had one big ass—"
"We don't care about you love life, Brass." Gil interrupted not liking the way Jim's older brother was talking about his girlfriend. He gets a different one each week.
Adam nodded in understanding. "So what got up your ass, fishy?" he smirked.
Gil growled at the nickname that Adam seem to like to call him.
"His stepfather ran off, his mother's dying in the room next to us and we need money." Jim said. Gil looked at him again thankful enough that Jim didn't tell him brother anything.
"Yo bro I don't have any money."
"We know that. We just need you to take us to the Black Market…"
Adam suddenly raised his hands in front of him, scratching his nose. "Yo man, I don't do that kind of stuff anymore. You hear?"
"I highly doubt it," Gil said. "Your eyes are avoiding eye contact and you're touching your nose."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Adam demanded.
"It means, Junky that you are lying."
"Adam, Gil enough." Jim said, knowing that anytime that both his brother and Gil would start a fight.
Gil nodded. Why is he trying to start a fight when his mother is in the next room fighting? "Jim, tell him our plan. I'll get mother."
Jim nodded.
Gil quickly left the two brothers alone.

the dvrs we have now just dont cut it! ,we need more recording space,and i dont mean 45 hours,the 20 hours we get now is pathetic when trying to record a lot of HD programs!
The eSATA expansion will be active to allow you to add a TB External drive. That will give you well over 100 hours if you add it to the internal drive. Many want more storage, but not everyone will require as much. So this feature will allow you to get what you need.
"DVR storage expansion (eSATA)"
What is next.
NOt sure how indemand this would be, but supporting a NAS device would be nice too...although I would presume that it would have to be connected via GB for performance reasons.
I have been hearing that these "Features" were "coming soon" for two years, either offer it or tell me no so I can just switch to ATT and get a real DVR. A HD-DVR with 160gb hard drive is a joke, take a poll and it will be 100% clear that fios users HATE teeny tiny hard drives in a DVR!!!
To Verizon:
What's the hold up?
Are you promising something you can't deliver?
Verizon will deliver. Count the number of customers that want more space on a DVR. Then figure how many upgrades this will take for customers that have the older 6216 or 6416 boxes. MANY. When 1.9 comes out an external drive can be used. Then the only boxes needing replacement to add this feature will be the 6216 or 6416 series. It is just going to take time.
To Quote Joe.
"With the release of IMG 1.9 you will be able to purchase an external hard drive (eSATA) - size of your choosing - to get additional capacity."
He is not lying. But the 6200 and 6400 boxes do not have eSATA, so you will need to change for more space.
I would rather wait a few more months for something that is ready and works, then to get it pushed out and have it fail. That is not acceptable to Verizon or its customers.
If you are really desperate for more space, you could use a TiVO or Moxi with a cablecard as many have. No need to switch providers. I switched to a TiVO 14 months ago, and plan on switching back as soon as the features can be delivered.
I definitely wanted to use NAS over eSATA... but unfortunately we could find affordable units that could keep up with the demand of high resolution video... just too much sustained bandwidth needed (not burst - sustained).
But I still want to keep digging into NAS approach.
Last... yes more DVR storage is coming. In the form of new units with 500GB drives (originally we were planning 320GB, but many of your responses pushed that bigger) and eSATA up to 1-2 TB's. Using multi-room DVR with external storage you could easily have hundreds of hours of storage.
The software necessary to enable this increased storage is about to exit the lab... and should be in your home before you know it.
Director - FiOS TV products
500GB is still kind of small considering today's standards, no?
2 -3 years ago, maybe, but today? 1TB retail is about $46 as per Google, and I'm sure in bulk for Verizon would be even cheaper. You guys should try and future proof any new products as much as you can.
You know rolling out 500GB DVR's is only going to have people complain in no short amount of time once they fill that up! And I don't see eSATA as a solution: Cablevision tried that rout, and it was much easier to hack their box (actually not a hack, just had to replace the internal drive with a larger capacity) that purchase an external one that you have to LEAVE ON ALL THE TIME.
I'm betting that's the case with using one (eSATA) with the FIOS box? It has to be left powered on all the time?
Don't get me wrong, I am all for increased DVR storage, but having come from the world of Tivo and then ReplayTV back in the day, I know just how quickly that space can get used up.
FIOS rules in my book, and I think its great that you guys actually look into this stuff as well as sharing it with the rest of us.
GOD knows Cablevision never did that!

the movie Titanic.
I don't need to waste over 3 hours of my life to find out that the boat sinks. I have never watched the movie, and I will never watch it.
I used to date a guy who really wanted me to watch it. He told me that if we got married, he would have the movie playing during the wedding reception. You can see why that relationship had to end.
I'm not the only one who hates this movie. Check this out.
Here's more reasons it sucked.
Even Kate Winslet hates watching it. Find out why here.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey
|Deborah Jeane Palfrey
Deborah Jeane Palfrey aka DC Madam; at a court hearing, on 30 April 2007.
March 18, 1956
North Charleroi, Pennsylvania
|May 1, 2008
(aged 52)
Tarpon Springs, Florida
|Other names
|D.C. Madam
|Alma mater
|Rollins College
Deborah Jeane Palfrey (March 18, 1956 – May 1, 2008)[1] (dubbed the D.C. Madam by the news media) operated Pamela Martin and Associates, an escort agency in Washington, D.C. Although she maintained that the company's services were legal, she was convicted on April 15, 2008 of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes,[1][2] and money laundering.[2] Slightly over two weeks later, facing a prison sentence of five or six years, she was found hanged. Autopsy results and the final police investigative report concluded that her death was a suicide.[1][3][4][5]
Early life[edit]
Palfrey was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, but grew up in her teens in Orlando, Florida. Her father was a grocer. She graduated from Rollins College with a degree in criminal justice, and attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law, but did not graduate.[6] Working as a paralegal in San Diego, California, and later as a cocktail waitress,[7] she became involved in the escort business. Dismayed at how most services were run, including widespread drug abuse, she started her own company recruiting mostly women over 25.[6] In 1990 she was arrested on charges of pimping, pandering and extortion; after fleeing to Montana she was captured while trying to cross the Canadian border and brought back for trial. Following her conviction in 1992 she spent 18 months in prison.[6][8] After her release, she founded Pamela Martin and Associates.[9]
Ms. Palfrey held an MBA in International Business.[10]
D.C. Madam scandal[edit]
In October 2006, United States Postal Inspection Service agents posed as a couple who were interested in buying Palfrey's home as a means of accessing her property without a warrant.[7][11] Agents froze bank accounts worth over US$500,000, seizing papers relating to money laundering and prostitution charges.[11]
For a short time, Palfrey's service recruited postgraduate students through the independent University of Maryland student newspaper and the Washington City Paper.[12] Her escorts charged as much as $300 per hour, and many have had professional careers. Palfrey continued to reside in California, and cleared some US$2 million over 13 years in operation.[6] Palfrey appeared on ABC's 20/20 as part of an investigative report on 4 May 2007.[13] In combination with Palfrey's statement that she had 10,000 to 15,000 phone numbers of clients, this caused several clients' lawyers to contact Palfrey to see whether accommodations could be made to keep their identities private.[14] Ultimately, ABC News, after going through what was described as "46 lb" [21 kg] of phone records, decided that none of the potential clients[15] was sufficiently "newsworthy" to bother mentioning.[16]
The scandal led to the resignation of Ambassador Randall L. Tobias from his State Department position and as the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Also named as a regular client was columnist and military strategist Harlan Ullman, creator of the concept of "shock and awe", of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Washington Times. Neither testified at Palfrey's trial.[17][18]
Dick Cheney, Vice President at the time, was also reported (by the lawyer for Deborah Jeane Palfrey) to have been on the list of clients.[19]
On July 9, 2007, Palfrey released the supposed entirety of her phone records for public viewing and downloading on the Internet in TIFF format, though days prior to this, her civil attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley had dispatched 54 CD-ROM copies to researchers, activists, and journalists. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) acknowledged on the night of July 9 that he had been a customer of her escort service. | url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070902030.html
In early 2007, Palfrey reacted to the suicide by hanging of Brandy Britton, one of her former escort service employees, by saying, "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of."[20]
Thirteen former escorts and three former clients testified at her trial.[21][22][23] The witnesses were compelled to testify, after being granted immunity from prosecution.
On April 15, 2008, a jury found Palfrey guilty of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering.[1][2] Palfrey believed that contrary to the U.S. Attorney's Office lower estimate, she might spend six or seven years behind bars.[24] She faced a maximum of 55 years in prison.[25] Palfrey's death resulted in her conviction being vacated.[26]
On May 1, 2008, Palfrey was found hanging in a storage shed outside her mother's mobile home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Police found handwritten suicide notes in the bedroom where she was staying, dated a week before her death. The autopsy and the final police investigation concluded her death was a suicide.[3][5][27]
Suicide notes[edit]
Palfrey's two handwritten notes were released to the public. In one of them, she wrote to her sister, "You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. 'exit strategy,' for me other than the one I have chosen here." In another, she described her predicament as a "modern-day lynching". She said she feared that, at the end of serving her sentence, she would be "in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman".[27][28]
Speculation surrounding her death[edit]
The New York Times's Patrick J. Lyons wrote on the Times' blog, The Lede, that some on the Internet were skeptical that her death was a suicide.[29] News accounts at the time reported that her mother said she had "no indication" that Palfrey was planning to commit suicide,[24][30] though she later stated, "I was afraid constantly [for her]. I watched her like a hawk."[31] In an interview on Alex Jones' show in July 2007, Palfrey explicitly stated, "I'm not planning to commit suicide" and made clear her motivation to present her case at trial, saying, "I plan on exposing the government in ways that I do not think they want me to expose them".[32] However, after investigating the crime scene, police found "no new evidence [that] would indicate anything other than suicide by hanging" nor did the final police investigative report released six months later.[3][5] The police stated that Palfrey's family believed the notes were written by Palfrey.[33][34] Palfrey sought to put her affairs in order before her death as she turned over the ownership of her high school alumni web site to a classmate,[35][36] had moved her possessions to her mother's home, whom she was staying with at the time,[24][37] and had transferred money from her accounts to her mother's.[5] The day before, she reviewed her pre-incarceration papers and watched videos of her deceased father.[3]
Journalist Dan Moldea, who was working with Palfrey on a book, recalled that in a 2007 conversation, Palfrey told him, "I am not going back to prison. I will commit suicide first."[24] He said her previous prison experience had traumatized her and she felt she couldn't do it again.[1][20]
Some of the analysts of Fox News, like Geraldo Rivera and Jeanine Pirro, speculated that Palfrey's death was the result of a murder and pushed for a deeper investigation of the event. Alex Jones pushed this, as well.[38][39]
