Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them.
A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults.
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.

Welcome to the Irish Amateur Boxing Association. This is a temporary website, but fully functional while we develop our new site.
In 2011 the Irish Amateur Boxing Association celebrated the 100th anniversary of it's formation.
In 1939 the association built its own National Boxing Stadium. We are very proud
of the fact that we are the only boxing association in the world, to own and control our
own custom built stadium.
The vision, and the foresight of the officers, and members, who made this possible is to be commended.
The effort made by these people to collect the money which was needed to finance this venture was amazing,
and the present members owe a great deal of thanks to them.
Up to the time the stadium was built, the association had led a nomadic existence, holding boxing shows at
many different venues. Many of the people engaged in the building of the new stadium, gave
their services, free of charge, which resulted in a significant saving of much needed money. It
would have been almost impossible to proceed with this construction, without this extreme kindness.
When the stadium was finally completed, it opened in March 1939. The first major boxing show
in The Stadium was The National Senior Championships.
Many years later, The National Stadium is still the home of Irish Boxing and is still indebted to past and present volunteers
Who have made boxing the number one Olympic Sport in Ireland.

Denham Urges New GSA Commissioner to Utilize Civilian BRAC Process to Eliminate Waste within the Agency
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, today called on the General Services Administration (GSA) to include Denham's proposal, the Civilian Property Realignment Act (CPRA), as part of their plan to overhaul the agency's Public Building Service and improve the process of disposing of excess and underutilized properties.
"In the face of a $16 trillion debt, it's time we get serious about eliminating waste and increasing efficiency in our government. My bill, the CPRA, will shrink the federal real property footprint and save billions of taxpayer dollars by selling what we don't need and better utilizing what we keep," said Chairman Denham. "It is our duty to give the American people the effective, efficient service that they deserve, and this is one way we can work together to end the mismanagement and wasteful spending within the GSA and enact real reform with this agency."
Passed by the House in February 2012, Denham's legislation, the Civilian Property Realignment Act (H.R. 1734), parallels the Department of Defense's Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) process to decide how to dispose of the federal properties and address chronic management issues and waste as it relates to federal real property. Chairman Denham's latest efforts to encourage cooperation between the General Services Administration and Congress comes after acting GSA administrator Dan Tangherlini this week named Dr. Dorothy Robyn, a former Defense Department official who oversaw the Defense Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) process, as the new Commissioner for the Public Buildings Service.
"In fiscal year 2009, the federal government wasted more than $1.7 billion in operating under-utilized buildings. It's clear we have the potential to save billions of taxpayer dollars, and our challenge is to a create system where it will happen," Denham continued. "As we continue to investigate and ensure transparency within the organization for the American taxpayers, we are hopeful that Dr. Robyn's experience working with the DoD's BRAC process will encourage greater innovation and cost efficiency within the GSA by utilizing CPRA to streamline the process and ensure the effective and efficient sale or consolidation of these properties, resulting in huge cost savings for taxpayers."
Denham's CPRA would employ the use of a civilian BRAC-like process for disposing of unneeded and underutilized federal properties to improve the management of federal property, shrink the government's footprint and save taxpayers billions of dollars. The legislation would establish a framework through which an independent commission would review federal properties and make recommendations for consolidations, co-locations, redevelopment, selling or other actions to minimize costs and produce savings for the taxpayer.
Throughout the duration of the 112th Congress, Chairman Denham has led a series of Subcommittee field hearings at various vacant and underutilized federal properties around the country to highlight the need to save billions of taxpayer dollars by improving management of federally owned assets and property. In 2009, the operation of underutilized federally-owned buildings cost taxpayers $1.7 billion, and another $134 million for excess buildings, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates CPRA could generate $15 billion in revenue from property sales, in addition to the billions more generated from future cost avoidance from simply owning less property.

Is commenting on the story instead of the spelling really that difficult?
I know this stuff happens..but still.
Anyway, I think that apple for once could live with profit margins similar to normal companies.
Thanks for pointing it out everyone. Stuff happens we are all human please just report the errors instead of posting and ruining a news thread.
Modmyi Staff
Ok that's enough please return to the topic discussion if you have a complaint pm the mods. We will handle what we can.
Now please return to the news topic any other comments will be deleted and infractions and warnings will be given out
No way would I buy this from Apple.
How many iTV sold? If people would not buy enough of iTV device right now when it is cheap, I do not see how suddenly it gets popular just because it gets integrated into TV and sells it for more than other HDTV.
They would still have bigger profit margins because Apple stuff just costs more and they market they stuff very well so peeps just want to buy they stuff. I would consider buying one but only when my current set fails.
I like being able to watch what I want, when I want, and use any device I want with my TV.
I don't see the appeal of an Apple-made TV that will just be a Samsung or LG display wrapped in an over priced shiny case but have less features than every other TV.
By a show of hands how many of you think Apple wants to really stick it to Samsung since Samsung is very popular in the TV market?

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The company that wants to build a new iron ore mine in far northern Wisconsin was again able to write parts of the law they might end up following.
Drafting records show that Gogebic Taconite had a hand in writing the bill that's currently before the Legislature.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the liberal group One Wisconsin Now dug up those records. They show that Gogebic wants changes in groundwater, wetland, and navigable water standards which Democrats say would hurt the environment.
Gogebic also wrote parts of the bill which failed to pass the Legislature a year ago. Company lobbyist Bob Seitz defended the firm's involvement. As the only current metallic mining firm in Wisconsin, Gogebic said its input should be expected.
But One Wisconsin Now said the company got preferential treatment. Director Scot Ross said the public and environmental groups never got chance to add their ideas when the bill was drafted.
The group also criticized the campaign gifts from mining supporters to the governor and legislators.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign said special interests which support mining gave over $600 in campaign donations for every $1 given by mining opponents. Most of the money went to Governor Scott Walker's campaign.
Mining committees in both houses are scheduled to vote a week from Wednesday on endorsing the mining package in its current form.

My first project was a sight size drawing of a torso.
This is the final.
The pencil work is light compared to the refrence. I wanted to avoid the graphite getting a shine in the dark areas.
Now that it's on screen I can see that the upper center shadow needs a bit more work. I'll deal with that later.
And this is the final when the contrast is turned up by the computer.
Here's Emily and me working
And here's me starting my second project.

Fantastic! Looks great Stacy. I wish I had the opportunity to work with him. I hope you keep this updated.
All the cool kids ignore my ketchook.
I hear you and Emily have some sort of rivalry going on? About who can make the better cupcakes/brownies? Care to comment on this? And uhm, save one for me next time
Bargue looks great! Any special reason you went with graphite? Emily is using charcoal isn't she?
Looking good here! Emily and yourself are really lucky to be studying under that man...congrats. The studies looks good, nice even tones and good eye.
Hey, thanks FlyingMilton. I'm surprised you saw my post so soon after I posted, that's awesome. I also checked out your posts and that octopus digital painting is really sweet.
And Wow, Idiot Apathy, I am honored to have a level 14 Gladiator comment. Your stuff is really neat. As for the cupcake/brownie rivalry, you heard right. It is a deep feud dating back as far as May 10th...of this year. To settle this rivalry we may need another bake off. I look forward to a tasty showdown.
As for the graphite, it's what Whitaker wanted me to start with and what I will be working with until I move on from barque drawings.
Stark, thanks for your complimentitive words. I hope you come back when I get more posted.
Today I came across a sidewalk sale so I took a seat and started sketching. I'll scan a few of those images in later but for now I give you penguin characters, yeah! Everyone loves a penguin.
I recently watched March of the Penguins if that explains anything.
Haha, why do I picture you rolling your eyes about that gladiator comment ? Can I judge the bake-off? I get to eat right? By the way, It's Tom - we met at the zoo
Cute Penguins.
I thought that might be you Tom and what a zoo trip it was. Of course you can judge the bake off and yes that does imply you eating. On Wednesday there's a free gesture drawing session down my way, it starts at 7pm, and before that I, and possibly 2 other friends, will be doing some sketchbooking. You're more than welcome to come.

those are barque-gerome plates yes?
because i am also doing those plates. My teacher made me do the back of the foot one and now i am finishing the strong arm. The one you just finished is what i am going to start most likely next week. Its cool to see that there are other learning the atelier style.
Quick question:
do you guys use H pencils? or a wide range?
is this you first? if so then wow! My teacher made copy tons of 2d images from disney to tiny toons chracters. Then i got around to making those plates. Which i still have trouble on.
wthats the method you use? In my class room, i use a plumline then get the proper measurements, then get a outline of the whole caste, start "Carving" in the shading of the outline, shade the darkest darks and keep layering lightly.
Same thing for you?
is there a place where i can get all those plates? i know that there is a book, its a hundred dollars or more
-------- Sketchbook--------
Stacey, Nice stuff. Love what you are doing.
Hi Sishir. Yes these are the Charles Barque plates but I don't know where to get them other than the book, sorry.
That's neat that you're learning this, it really trains the eye.
I use H for the outline but when I start the shading process I switch to 2B and 2H for the shadow and shadow transition.
I start with drawing a center line down the middle of both paper and picture, and drawing a line across the top. I use those lines and a caliper, a tool with two adjustable arms that measures distance, to check my lines. After the outline is done I start with the shadows and like you, layer lightly to get a nice transition into the light. Hope this answers your question.
In reply to Don. Don! I am soooo excited to hear from you. You're awesome! And everyone here should know that Don is the bomb at both digital and oil painting. That means he's really good.
Here's the outline of what I've been up to.

Those are some great studies, very smooth, suttle shading. Excellent proportions and anatomy. Very nice work.
Watch out for Piranhas
very nice work. The amount of patience that this takes is amazing. Its great to see.
Hello Don!
Okay, so here's my finished barque drawing. I actually finished it about a week ago but didn't post it because I was on a road trip for a week.
And here's some pictures of my road trip. I was on a sketch booking tour with a school group of Illustrators and Animators. It was a blast. We went to the Salt Flats, Reno, Lake Tahoe, Old Town Sacramento and best of all, San Francisco.
Here's our group at the Salt Flats
We took a tour through Pixar in San Francisco. What a fun place to work, they have videogames, ping pong tables, scooters and an endless supply of cold cereal. After the tour we all helped ourselves to some while our teacher was ketching up with his friend Andy who works there. I've never seen so much milk in one fridge before.
And here is my friend Melinda and me in front of the Bay Bridge. When we were on the Bay Bridge someone in our van started quoting the bridge part from Charlie the Unicorn on YouTube. Only on an illustration / animation sketchbook tour would that happen and everybody know what that quote was from.
In San Francisco we also went to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Japan Town, The Palace of Fine Arts which is also known by other names, Union Square off Market Street, the Japanese Garden at Golden Gate Park and Alamo Park which is right across the street from the homes on Full House
Tomorrow I will post some of the sketches I did along the way.

Great pictures stacy, and really good work with the bargue.
Hope to see more. Keep up the good work,
wow, your an awesome artist. I dont know who the guy your talking about is, but im assuming that hes some famous artist. Your work is very good, it looks like a replica of the thing your drawing... just wow...
Here's some of the sketches from my recent trip.
Lake Tahoe
Old Town Sacramento
Union Square in San Francisco
People on Market Street
Our teacher Richard Hull while we were at lunch. He's on the Right.
Alcatraz, as seen from Fishermans Wharf. We also went to Pier 39.
Grass Valley City
As for what I'm doing now, I'm working on a drawing of my sister Lindsey. This is a sketchbook drawing of one of the pictures I took of her.
The real one will be much better...hopefully.
Also, while I was with my animation and illustration friends in San Francisco, I heard about a 2d animation they want to do of a chinese fable. I decided to do a few sketches.
This is an idea for the evil guy and the dad
These are more ideas for the villain's look
Ideas of where to get reference for a interesting stylized chineese type look for people, places and plants are appreciated, as well as comments on the characters

Latest Bargue looks great Stacy! You having fun?
Road trip makes me jealous, sketching road trip makes me insanely jealous
Looks like you had a lot of fun and got some great sketches out of it. We need to go sketching again!
Not sure about any stylistic chinese reference, but I came across these amazing photo's recently:
Hi Tom. Yes, you have reason to be insanely jealous for it was the funnest road trip ever!
We most definitely do need to go sketch-booking again and thanks for the web reference, those pictures really are amazing!

i think it won't make a lot of effect if i say it's a perfect bargue copy since you're working with Whitaker, but it's damn perfect. How could it better ?!
I'm a bit perplex, you said you're blocking in the form with eyes ?! not using thread (and tons of measurements) ?
Stacy, i just added this therad to my favorites, i want see your whole course in this studio. The more you talk the more i'm plugged.
(pssst: could u post some high res originals from bargue's books )

Hi Zou, I wasn't very clear in that post so I can see why there was a misunderstanding. Hopefully I fixed it.
I measured all the time, practically after every stroke. What I meant about the eye comment is that I tried to make a stroke first and then measure rather than vice versa.
Hopefully these links to barque copies will help out. They should begin downloading when you click on them.
Here's some sketches I did recently. This one contains people from my Traffic School class. Apparently speeding is frowned upon.
The guy on the Left was our teacher. He's a young'en as far as officers go, perhaps that is why I was allowed to keep my sketchbook out during class. I took notes in my sketchbook also, just in case.
I was going to draw some flaming wreckage from some of the footage but they let us out early. I felt jipt, I wanted to draw a bit more.
And here's a sketch of people from a meeting I was in.

Is it me or does the opposite sex of either or always draw the other best…like for example men draw women very well and hear you are a good example of women drawing men very well…I mean I see the picture of the male ass and its like almost popping of the paper…
And the hand very nice….
And to sound very childish ....if I have not sounded yet….you draw very nice FOR A GIRL!
Keep up the amazing work!

The greatest achievement is selflessness.

So emily has told me so much about you.. (no actually not really, nor did tom.. ) heh. but I've heard about you from both.
nice studies! and enjoyable drawings. *subscribe*
iceman- You know, I think your right. I do draw nice. I'm amazing!
And of course I'm kidding and thanks!
bumskee -Wow, you know Emily and Tom too. What a small world. So, you've heard of me to the extent that you know of my existence but nothing more. Well, I'll have to tell Tom and Emily to get on the ball. I should definitely be talked about in more detail than that!
And of course, I kid.
Well, it's been a while but here's my post. Hope you all like.

Angelica Duria joined the FOX6 News team as a reporter in October 2010.
Prior to coming aboard, Angelica spent the last two years in Northwest Arkansas working for KHBS/KHOG 40/29 News. There, she worked as a reporter covering a wide range of stories involving everything from ice storms, to murder trials, to stories of the world's largest retailer - Walmart.
Now, Angelica is happy to make the trek back north to the Midwest, her original hometown. Angelica was born in Chicago and raised in the western suburb of Elmwood Park. She knew at an early age that journalism would be her career and hasn't looked back since.
Angelica graduated with honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Her work in college won her several student awards, including a Hearst and an Illinois News Broadcasters Association award. She also held internships at WICD-TV in Champaign and CBS News in Washington D.C., where she was able to work closely with some of broadcast's greatest journalists.
As a first generation Filipino-American, Angelica is a proud member of the Asian American Journalists Association.
Angelica is excited to call Milwaukee her new home, but unfortunately, you won't see her rooting for the Badgers, Brewers, Bucks or Packers any time soon. Sorry folks, but Angelica will still be cheering on her home teams - the Cubs, da Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls and of course, her "Fighting Illini" alma mater!
In her spare time, Angelica likes to travel, spend time with family, find new places to eat and shop for bargains. So much so, that she's admitted to owning 80 pairs of shoes!

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Caterpillar Inc
The cuts will come at the Gosselies site just outside of Charleroi, one of the largest Caterpillar facilities in Europe, where the group makes hydraulic excavators, loading vehicles and engine parts. The site employs 3,700 people.
"Though they are painful, these measures are indispensable to allow us to be competitive and give a chance of survival to our factory," said Nicolas Polutnik, CEO of Caterpillar Belgium.
The job cuts at Caterpillar are the latest in a string of large-scale layoffs in Belgium.
The world's largest steelmaker, ArcelorMittal
"The numbers we have received are a catastrophe, and that in a region like Charleroi...," a spokeswoman for the socialist FGTB union said.
About one in five people in Charleroi are unemployed, double Belgium's national average.
Apart from the economic slowdown in Europe and increased competition, Caterpillar said its products faced different environmental rules in different parts of the world, which made its production process more complicated.
Caterpillar said costs were so high at present that it would be cheaper to import machines from elsewhere than produce them at the Belgian plant.
Caterpillar has invested 210 million euros ($275.3 million)in the site in the past five years. ($1 = 0.7628 euros)

Under Alabama law, parents of students in failing public schools now have a decision to make.
The newly passed Alabama Accountability Act gives tax credits to parents who remove their children from schools the law considers "failing."
If you live in Montgomery, you should know if your school is failing by now. Education officials say letters have already gone out to parents.
But if you choose to transfer, your options are limited.
"Yes, we want more students," says Sister Gail Trippett, Principal of Resurrection Catholic School.
It's a Pre-K through 8th grade facility with roughly 100 students.
Opting in to the Alabama Accountability Act "was only a natural fit," says Trippett.
The school is located on Forbes drive, right off the Northern Boulevard--an area zoned for Capitol Heights Middle School.
It's on the state's list of failing schools.
"There are a number of children that would be affected in our community and our doors are open for any child who would like to succeed," says Trippett.
Resurrection Catholic School administrators filled out the application required by the state, sent the school's accreditation status and tax information to the Department of Revenue and received the go ahead to accept kids from failing schools.
Trippett says they have room for 50 more.
"We would be happy to receive all new students."
There are some additional state requirements private schools must meet if they decide to opt in to the program. And for some, that alone, is the deciding factor.
"As of this time my board has not made a decision for us to participate," says Melba Richardson, Head of School for St. James School.
Richardson isn't sure about the state's mandate requiring private schools wishing to opt in to set up a scholarship account.
The account would receive money from scholarship granting organizations helping fund tuition payments for children from failing public schools.
"We're a non-profit school. There would be a lot of questions we have as to maintaining that status."
As for Sister Trippett, the state hasn't required proof of the scholarship account just yet.
She expects to discuss it with the State Department of Education in the coming weeks.
The Accountability Act also requires any private school opting in to the program to adhere to the State Department of Education's record keeping standards to properly track any student who transfers from a failing public school.

LeAnn Schueneman's 23 fourth-graders will not only be entering a classroom when they come back to school Monday, but also their home away from home, to be known as "Schuville."
"My room is going to be known as Schuville," the first-year teacher at Bel Air Elementary School said Tuesday.
The name is a combination of her last name and the fictional burg of Whoville, the setting of the Dr. Seuss children's classic, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Schueneman, one of two new teachers at Bel Air Elementary for the 2013-2014 school year, was in her room Tuesday afternoon, putting up decorations, including inspirational lines from Dr. Seuss stories.
"I think there's important messages [in the stories]," she said. "I also think that they're identifiable characters."
A poster with the line "A person's a person no matter how small," from "Horton Hears a Who," was placed above the door.
"I want my students to feel like this is their second home, and I'm going to present it to them that way," Schueneman explained.
Schueneman and her fellow new teacher are among 43 teachers at Bel Air Elementary, which serves 505 students; the school also has 22 support staffers as well as Principal Dyann Mack, Assistant Principal Rose Martino and Melissa Surgeon, the instructional facilitator.
Mack said the two new teachers are filling vacant slots in the school staff; she said Bel Air was able to maintain the name number of teachers as last year.
The members of the Harford County Board of Education approved in June cuts of more than 100 positions system-wide to help reconcile Harford County Public Schools' budget for the 2014 fiscal year.
Mack said two teaching slots at Bel Air Elementary opened after two former teachers resigned.
"We were able to hire for those two vacancies," she said.
Mack said Bel Air has "a very stable staff," and some teachers have been at the school for decades.
The principal noted the veteran teachers' former students are now grown up, and their children are being taught by those same educators.
"They're getting another generation of children coming in," Mack said.
Schueneman was preparing for her first generation of students.
"I really want to make my classroom a warm and inviting learning space for my students," she said.
Schueneman grew up in Topeka, Ks., but has lived in Harford County for eight years. Her husband is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, and she has two children, one who will be a freshman at Bel Air High School and one who will be a seventh grader at Bel Air Middle School.
She has previous experience working in the Harford County schools, starting as a substitute teacher, and then as an inclusion helper at Forest Hill Elementary School from 2007 to 2010.
She spent much of her time assisting special education students.

Tax rates going up in Bennington, ManchesterBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | July 26,2013BENNINGTON Tax rates will be going up in Bennington and Manchester this year with Manchester residents already having their tax bills and Bennington residents expected to receive them within the next 30 days.
The Bennington Select Board approved the municipal tax rate Monday. Including the general, highway and fire department funds, the municipal rate will be 98.6 cents this year.
The rate is 3.29 cents higher than the tax rate for 2012.
For their school taxes, Bennington residents will be paying $1.40, a rate that is 5.38 cents more than the rate of $1.35 from 2012.
The overall tax rate in the town will be about $2.39. Together the tax rates are an increase of about 9 cents, or about 3.9 percent from the rate of about $2.30 from 2012.
For the owner of a $100,000 home, the taxes levied would be $2,391.50. In 2012, the tax bill for the same home would be $2,304.30.
Bennington Town Manager Stuart Hurd said he was pleased that the increase in the municipal tax rate of about 3 percent was just about where town staff expected it to be.
One reason was relative stability in the grand list.
We didnt anticipate a great deal of growth in the grand list and we didnt see a great deal of growth in the grand list, Hurd said.
The grand list grew by about $3 million but it wasnt enough to cause a major change in the calculations used to create the budget approved by voters in March. There are some construction projects under way or pending, including new Dollar General planned for Main Street and a new Merchants Bank under construction on Northside Drive which may improve the grand list next year, Hurd said.
In Manchester, the total tax rate increased this year to about $1.61. In 2012, the overall tax rate was about $1.49, about 12 cents, or 7.8 percent less.
For the owner of a $100,000 home, the taxes levied would be $1,610.90. In 2012, the tax bill for the same home would be $1,494.80 or about $116 less than this years bill.
The municipal tax rate in Manchester is 21.99 cents. In 2012, that rate was 19.34 cents. The school tax rate is $1.3910, an increase from the school rate of $1.3014 in 2012.
Manchester Town Manager John OKeefe said there were a few reasons for the increase on the municipal tax rate. The construction of the parkhouse, which was approved by voters at the towns floor meeting in 2012, required a payment of almost $118,000.
The town is also taking less from its reserve fund to put toward municipal spending than it has in past years.
OKeefe said there was also a residential property value reappraisal which decreased the grand list. However, because of the reappraisal, and its reduction of the values of many homes, many residents may see smaller tax bills this year despite the increase in the tax rate.
Manchesters tax bills have already been sent out. Benningtons tax bills are expected to be sent out the week of Aug. 19.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Tyler Hart
Springfield Park E.S., third grade
As the son of a teacher who is now a teacher himself, Tyler Hart – it would be natural to assume – had to have been a school-lover and a model student growing up.
Just the opposite, says Hart.
"I was always the student with the 'X's in the 'talkative' box on my report card," he recalls. "I was always out of my seat. I was not a fan of school."
It wasn't until Hart graduated from University of Richmond and began working at summer camps and an after-school program that teaching really entered his mind. Taking a job as a permanent substitute at Crestview Elementary, where he often floated to different classrooms helping out, he found himself drawn to special ed classrooms in particular and to the task of motivating and engaging children in general.
Before long, he returned to UR to get his teaching degree – and discovered a textbook by Ron Clark that affected him deeply.
"I had read numerous textbooks for college and graduate classes, but I think The Essential 55 was the first book I read that really let me know that I wanted to be a teacher," says Hart. "I become enamored with [Clark's] teaching style. I watched the movie, The Ron Clark Story and became even more motivated. This was a guy showing it's okay to dance around, rap, and stand on desks.
"It really led me to believe that education can be fun."
This year, Hart was able to fly to Atlanta and visit The Ron Clark Academy to see his idol teach in person -- an experience he says he will never forget, and hopes to experience again.
It's clear, if you ask Hart's students and their parents, that he has not only taken Ron Clark's philosophy to heart, but has also added his own distinctive spirit and stamp.
He has "a very cool and friendly way of teaching," said one parent. Under his guidance, many children who professed to hate school and who tested poorly on SOLs have not only improved or passed, but learned to love learning.
"Children are captivated by his style [and energy]," said another parent. "His assignments are thought-provoking and exciting [and] he provides just the right amount of scaffolding, allowing the learners to take off on their own when ready."
In only the first nine weeks of school, one parent noticed a dramatic change in her child's self-confidence and attitude towards learning, and credited the improvement to Hart's unique, hands-on way of teaching and inventive lessons.
"[My child] is excited to learn new things and to see what creative ideas he has for the day," she said, citing activities that range from making continents out of cookie dough to dropping eggs off the school roof.
Another parent wrote that Hart's hands-on style helped her daughter to open up and to be less shy in public.
"He really gets the students involved in using the blog page," said the parent, "[and teaches] students how to be responsible by setting up a manager and having them have use 'fake money' to pay for a job."
Using technology in new and innovative ways in the classroom is one of Hart's passions, he agrees. At the beginning of the school year, he invests a lot of time in step-by-step teaching of different programs; by the end of the year, he says he is "blown away" at seeing what the students develop.
"It is a blast using these resources to enhance my students' learning," he says. "One of my favorite things is when former students come to show off projects they have created in programs that they learned how to use with me."
When he's had opportunities to make presentations at professional conferences, Hart adds, he enjoys helping his fellow teachers just as much as students – and says they "get just as excited as an eight-year-old when they learn something new."
The former classroom chatterbox says that he has taken the opposite approach from his own teachers in his third grade classroom.
"I know most of the time [as a student] I was probably not being productive with my 'chatter,'" says Hart. "But I welcome chatter in my classroom – within reason. I thoroughly enjoy watching the interactions of my students."
Hart also enjoys meeting the challenge of taking 25 different personalities from very different backgrounds, and helping each to find the best way to learn the material "and have an awesome time doing it," he says.
Becoming a teacher has given him a new appreciation of his mother, Peggy Hart, who taught in Henrico County for 30 years. "I didn't realize," he says, "how much work she put into her class until I was on the other side of the desk."
But no matter how daunting the challenges, Hart says, they are far outweighed by teaching's rewards.
He enjoys, for instance, seeing his students' reactions when he tells them they will have a substitute next day.
"To hear my students genuinely upset that I won't be in class the next day," says Hart, "always puts a smile on my face. I also find myself checking the clock when I am out, thinking, 'Now they are doing math. Time for art! I hope 'Billy' is doing what he is supposed to be doing right now.'"
But the best part about teaching, he insists, is that it never gets stale.
"[Teaching] will never be the same year in and year out. Every year I have to mold and hone my craft based on the students I have," Hart says.
"In the ever-changing world of education I live by one motto: 'Embrace change, it's the only constant.'"

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

This product can be found in: Boredom Breakers | Clearance: 25% OFF | Clearance: All | Kong Toys for Dogs | Throw Toys | Toys: All | Tug Toys
Kong WubbaFrom £4.29
The Kong Wubba is a sturdy, hard-wearing tug and toss toy that your dog is sure to love. Made from reinforced fabric held together by super-tough stitching, Wubba can be chewed, dragged around, pulled to its extremes and then still be in one piece for a cuddle at bed-time, and a squeaker within the product provides ample noise for those canine band practice sessions!
Available in the following options:

|Our cross absolutely adored his XLarge he chewed the tails off within a couple of minutes but it took him a good couple of weeks before he actually ripped the fabric open and got the tennis ball in the top out. The Large has held up nowhere near as well sadly hes just too strong and determined for it. All the same soggy and ripped no doubt he will bring it up to bed with him hah.

A favorite local business of mine, is Hillermann Nursery & Florist, and this time of year it is SO fun to visit!
You can see my visit to their Pumpkin Pandemonium in 2009
and my fall visit in 2008.
I'm getting a late start this year……..but I'm planning my annual fall visit for this weekend. I can't wait to fill my porch and yard with all the orange, red and yellow!
I LOVE Hillermann's tips on preserving pumpkins:
Preserving and Firming Up a Pumpkin
Place your pumpkin in a washtub of cold water, it will absorb the water and become very firm. Cut open the top of the pumpkin and clean out all the seeds. Fill a washtub, sink or large bucket with cold water, and soak the pumpkin in the cold water. If you have fine detail work to do, you may want to let your pumpkin soak overnight. This will firm up the pumpkin flesh and allow you to do carving that is more intricate. You can add a small amount of unscented Clorox bleach in the water to prevent premature mold and bacteria growth.
Once you have carved your pumpkin, you can add a thin amount of petroleum jelly on the exposed cut edges. This will help seal moisture in the flesh of the pumpkin. If the pumpkin dries out, it will shrivel. You can try to revive it by soaking it in a bath of cold water for one to eight hours. Longer is better. Overnight will not hurt.
You can prepare your pumpkins ahead of time and keep them fresh for a future party or gathering. Soak them first. Wrap them in plastic wrap to hold in the moisture and store them in the refrigerator (not the freezer). They will stay fresh this way for a very long time. Once you remove a wet pumpkin for display, you should immediately dry it off. This prevents mold from having a chance to grow.
Don't you just love this time of year!!………all the pumpkins…….all the color?
Now it's your turn!

Look! Indoor Window Box at Nopalito
Last night, while waiting for a table at Nopalito in the Western Addition, we spotted this adorable little succulent garden tucked between a row of tables and the glass wall of their enclosed patio. At the restaurant the planter is used, of course, as a clever way to create some space between diners and the wall, but we love the idea of doing an indoor window box at home...
We always think of window box planters affixed to the outside of a house or on a balcony, but why not reverse the look and try one inside instead? A long, narrow planter like this could be used, for example, in place of a table, to solve the problem of how to place a couch or a bed up against a window without creating weird lines or an unsightly gap. Can't you just imagine the little succulent tips poking up behind the top of a couch?
Alternately, if you've got a banquette, you could try replicating the garden from Nopalito in your dining nook, even using landscape lamps among the plants as accent lighting for romantic meals.
Here's another one, previous featured on Apartment Therapy: LA, that's purely decorative. What do you think of the look? Would you try this?

I like the cacti. You could use any long skinny planter for this inside. As a centerpiece or whatever, as long as it gets some light.
How can you mention Nopalito without a shout out to their beyond delicious carnitas? I actually dream about them.
Nopalito yum! Also, I think their interior is really fresh and fun.
Using succulents indoors, although nice for pictures, will result in diseased plants that grow long and leggy. Succulents need to be outside and get plenty of air circulation (to avoid fungal diseases and pests like mealybug). They need plenty of light too or else they will grow thin and leggy. If you do this, be prepared to swap in healthy plants every 3 weeks or so.
If you do this, use houseplants for your own sanity.

As of Tuesday, March 20, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ATHENS — Georgia will host Georgia Tech today in the first of three meetings this season between the two baseball teams, which are both nationally ranked.
Georgia (15-6, 2-1 SEC) is ranked 18th, while Georgia Tech (14-6, 3-3 ACC) is ranked 15th.
In records dating to 1950, Georgia leads the all-time series with Tech, 111-95. Last year, Tech won 15-6 in Athens and 5-3 in Atlanta, while Georgia won 6-4 at Turner Field.
Georgia, which has played 20 of its first 21 games at home, has a 2.62 ERA, a .285 batting average and a .977 fielding percentage.
Freshman right-hander David Sosebee (1-0, 1.08 ERA) will get the start today for the Bulldogs. UGA will be led at the plate by Hunter Cole (.316 batting average, 3 home runs, 12 RBI), Nelson Ward (.314-0-8) and Curt Powell, who leads the team with a .368 batting average.
Under the direction of coach Danny Hall, the Jackets are batting .316 with a 4.02 ERA and only a .950 Fielding Percentage (38 errors). Sophomore Zane Evans will start, and he is 0-0 with a 4.97 ERA in six relief appearances.
Evans is batting .351 with 23 RBI in 19 games as a starting catcher. Offensively, junior Sam Drove (.395-2-11) and sophomore Kyle Wren (.359-1-12) are the leading hitters, and sophomore Daniel Palka (.321-7-22) is the top power threat.
Hall, who is in his 19th season at Tech and 25th overall as a head coach, won his 1,000th game last Friday.
First pitch for tonight's game is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
GSW off to slow start in Bobcat Invitational
EATONTON — The Hurricanes shot 290 and 286 Monday in the opening rounds of the Bobcat Invitational and sit in 14th place out of 17 teams.

Hall shot rounds of 69 and 70, while Lee County native Nate Gahman carded a 72 and 70, followed be Travis Oestmann (72-73), Craig Gibson (77-74) and J.P. Griffin (78-75).
"I saw some good things from my team (Monday)," GSW coach Andrew Danna said. "Hopefully (today) we can continue to do those things and improve our position in the tournament."
The Hurricanes are just seven shots out of the Top 8.
