Pleasant, Big Rapids and Greenville- Belding districts, as a result of the current nation-wide shortage. of gas and petroleum products. Because of the shortage, the local gas company is compelled to supplement their natural gas supplies with manufactured gas in these districts at a cost considerably higher than that of natural gas.. This temporary. emergency has not been brought about by laxity of the Michigan .Consolidated Gas'T Company or its subsidiaries. in providing' an adequate supply of gas, but'because of * -the vastly increased tf enj&nd f or gas throughout* the'' nation. *:; Steps are nc# being taken to solve' the company/s * gas supply iproblehis by the construction of a large gas line from .Texas to Kpchigan"by *;ttie J-ichigan-Wiseonsln Pipe Line- Conv pany, a subsidiary of the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, and.when this source of supply is made Available to local! gas users,'"th. cohi- pany's rates, will again be adjusted. The shortage, may exist until April 1st, 195Q,, the.scheduled date _dr''co__- pletionpf the pipe"itne, bvit'the't6n> porary rafces,,' will, be' suspended^ a. jsoon as, the f available 'supply, of/nit; ural gas" will, ,warraij.t' $-co&ln'uan_. of the costly pro'dsss of manufacturing gas for its p&trons. If the petition is granted gas rates will be the same in all of the company's , western .district, comprising the above mentioned areas, and the two meter system with different rates for cooking gas and heating gas will be abolished in' the Mt. Pleasant district and consumers will be billed for heating, cooking ahd gas used for other domestic uses at one rate. Particulars of the petition and its purpose will be found in an advertisement on page thirteen of this week's Sentinel. The proposed temporary residential rates per meter month are; First 300 cubic feet or less, 75c. Next 1,700 cubic feet 14.6c.per 100 cubic feet. All additional 7.5c per 100 cubic feet. • . .

One Qualified City A ssessor Would Be Appointed Under New City Chrater This is the seventh in a series of articles submitted by your elected charter commission to explain some of the more important provisions of the proposed new charter for Clare. The charter will be voted on at the regular city election, April 5, A uniform, impartial and scientific method of property assessment is guaranteed the people of Clare, under the terms of the proposed new charter, because the new form, of home rule government would include, city assessment as an integral part of .the City government, With an appointed City assessor responsible to thevcity manager and the city council. This city-wide, uniform • assessment policy is in contrast to the procedure authorized by the Fourth Class City Act, under which Clare now oper; ates. At present, each of the three elected - city supervisors", acts as an assessor of his ward. They are elected "directly by the. people and therefor need not feel responsible to any part of the city government. •. Very often city assessors in fourth class cities do not ever meet with the city councils or In .any way familiarize themselves with the. financial and administrative problems of the city. This results, in a lack of cooperation, coordination, and uniformity of government policy. ■ "'•... . - jftirtheraore, under, the .-present system a property. own_y> has no. as surance that his property will Ibe* evaluated by the same standards.: &*• his friend's property in another part of the city. This is not the fault oS_ the city supervisors; it is simply ins- possible to secure absolute uniformity between assessments which arts- made by three different persons, eve_b- through equalization. No matter how objective the city supenrxSa-tS- attempt to be, personal judgments^ cannot fail to enter into the evaluation. A third criticism of the present as-, sessnient method used in Clare _*• that there is no Way of obtaining: at, technically-qualified assessor through; the election process. <?A detailed est-- planatioii'5 of why administrative __w . ficials should be appointed rather than elected was given in the second?. article of this series, appearing ier the January 30 issue of The Sentin«Li> The proper job qualifications, continuity in dfllce, impartiality; and '<»»- operation with other city officers «*- all importanT qualifications for the . position of city assessor which can-' only, be Obtained if the assessor is- - appointed by the city's chief admrca- istraiive officer, the city manager.

Our comment that followed was simple - Avoiding a bull trap (close below 23,800) is paramount. To date, the HS remains buoyant. However, we have consistently warned, "Always beware of a sudden correction". As with the S&P Index, the HS did in fact experience a price retrace this past week.

SANTA CLARA Two days after the Super Bowl, Aldon Smith insisted his shoulder "wasn't a problem at all."
It was a refrain he gave during the second half of the season despite the fact the 49ers linebacker appeared on the team's injury report with a shoulder injury from Week 12 through the postseason.
On Friday, NFL Network reported that Smith was hurt more than he was letting on and that he had surgery "a few weeks ago" to repair a torn labrum. A 49ers spokesman said the team would not comment on the report, but a source with knowledge of the procedure confirmed it and said it was done to address an in-season injury.
Smith, of course, set a franchise record with 191/2 sacks in 2012, but none of them came after a two-sack game in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins. He had perhaps the best outing of the year a 51/2-sack game in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears while seemingly dealing with the shoulder injury, which appeared to have begun bothering him the week before against the St. Louis Rams.
Smith's sack-less streak also coincided with linemate Justin Smith's torn triceps injury, which was operated on in February.
Aldon Smith downplayed the injury throughout the second half of the season and didn't have surgery immediately after the Super Bowl.
Aldon Smith's recovery time is unknown, although he no longer needs the sling he wore after the procedure, NFL Network reported.
Smith made the Pro Bowl and All-Pro squads after the season. He also won the team's MVP honor, the Bill Walsh Award, which is voted on by teammates and coaches.

Laundry Habits: What's Normal For Towels and Sheets?
Earlier this week Grace talked about shared laundry etiquette which led to some pretty amusing stories in the comments. It reminded me of an ongoing debate I have with my boyfriend about how often sheets and towels should be washed. I think in his mind, with towels especially, you're always clean when you use them so why would you ever need to wash them? Obviously we differ:
Generally I wash the bedsheets every week, or every other if I get lazy. I also tend to take a shower before bed so I'm definitely clean. Towels I also wash about every week, and I just alternate between 2 during the week so I end up using each one about 3-4 times. Wikipedia says that that's 'normal' for the US. I know if someone else wasn't changing my boyfriend's sheets it would be a lot longer between washings, and don't even get me started on the towels.
How often do you wash sheets and towels? When do you consider them dirty?

Sheets: once a week
Pillowcases: twice a week
Towels: Alternate between two bath towels and wash both once a week and hand towels once a week.
Our routine is basically the same as yours, might be a bit more often with sheets (we have a toddler, who likes to climb to our bed).
I once had a BF, who had traveled for business A LOT, so he used to and insisted on using a towel just once and throw it on a floor... so he would go through like 2-3 towels A DAY!
I, too, send it all to the wash about once a week. This topic brought back crazy college memories! I will NEVER forget a dorm-mate of mine snidely commenting, "My mother says your washing your towels only once a week is disgusting!" Yeah. What a peach.
At least once every 2 weeks, and would be much more often if it didn't require a trek to the laundrymat. Towels get 3-4 days before getting tossed in the laundry bag.
Sheets once every 4 to 6 weeks and towels once a week. Wow I feel like a slob now, but I'd definitely change them more often if I could easily get them off the bed. The bed is against the wall so it's a totally pain and I usually end up slicing my hands on the bed frame. We also have about 10 pillows and changing all those pillowcases is endless.
hand towels - twice a week.
towels and sheets - every week (summer) or every other week.
2-3 towels a week.
Sheets - once in 2 weeks.
Blankets - once in a month.
I have lots of bath and hand towels and a ton of face cloths and I end up using 2-3 hand towels and face cloths a week and 1 bath towel a week. I also change the sheets once a week and pillow case 2X a week.
I do hate the way the stitching around the towel shrink. Anyone knows how to avoid that?
I wash the sheet about every other week and towels after one use. I can't stand a musty smell on the towels!
Bed sheets and pillow cases once a week, I also shower pre-bed so my they stay cleaner.
mattress cover - once a month
towels - I'll use 2 times and I'll do a load of them when I run out of clean ones.
1 towels and pillow cases once per week and sheets once every 2 weeks. If I had my own washing machine I would prefer to do everything once a week.
I probably change the sheets once a month. Sometimes I'll wash the pillowcases more often. Towels every two weeks? Who has the time to do laundry more often than that?
You're supposed to wash towels and sheets?
towels and sheets every two weeks...and since 6 of those days are spent at the significant other's, i figure it's not that bad. :-P
I change pillowcases once a week, rest of the bedsheets get changed monthly, and at the same time we rotate our mattress.
Towels... I guess I toss mine after about two weeks? When it feels dirty. I use a different one for my body and then my hair / face, so the hair one doesn't get changed as often or it downgrades to becoming the body towel...
We stayed at an upscale hotel, and they changed the towels twice a day! It was madness!
Sheets are changed every Sunday, but duvets can go 2-4 weeks between washes (depending on what/if I spill while breakfasting in bed)
I run through about 3-4 towels a week, and the same number of face cloths - SF is very humid and towels simply don't dry out well enough before getting musty.
Isn't there a difference between how often you do laundry and how often you change out the towel? From the comments here, it sometimes reads like people have only one towel and they wash it every week (or whenever) and then immediately use it again.
I have eight bath towels, and I do laundry every two weeks. If all eight are in the laundry then I wash all eight. If only four are in the laundry I wash all four. But either way, I only use my towel 4 or 5 times in a row. But I can't stop my boyfriend or guests from using a towels for longer or shorter amounts of time. And come on - we've all had to grab the bath towel at some point to get spilled or splashed water. And then you need a new one.
My husband and I differ a lot on sheets and towel usage too. I grew up seeing my parents who were very picky about santization but still being frugal. They used to put used towels on a hanging rack in sunshine for couple of hours and let it dry. And as i live in south bay , i usually have ample sunshine I still do the same thing after every shower, if the weather is good and keep using them for a week or two. After all they are just damp towels and dryed our "clean" bodies with it. If the weather is otherwise...they go in laundry after 3-4 usage.
But that's just my way of doing it... and seems Okay to me.. but I haven't done any research on pros&cons of just drying the towels.
Wow. I'm pretty in line with this.
Which is crazy, because all those home decor sites/shows say to do these things every single day! Which is wasteful, unrealistic and just plain unnecessary. Glad to see it's far from the norm.
I mean, if sheets and towels smell clean, than they probably are clean. And my sheets and towels tend to smell wonderful for around a week. When they stop smelling like lavender fields or mountain air (or whatever my detergent is scented like) I toss 'em in the wash. It's not rocket science.
7-12x for towel use, depending on how many showers taken at home or if after gym; sheets/pillowcases, once every 1 1/2-2 weeks. If guests come over, sheets and towels go in after guests leave, and oh yeh, I iron all my sheets and pillowcases.
allergies... so sheets are washed once a week in the extra hot wash cycle.
comforters and blankets every other month.
towels once a week
I change my sheets about once a month. I shower before bed, so I am always getting into bed clean. I use each towel twice before throwing it into the hamper, but each shower gets a clean washcloth. Hand towels are replaced every 3-4 days. I have 8 towels and 12 washcloths, so I wash a load of towels about every 2 weeks.
i change the hand towels twice a week, bath towels once a week, or more when the weather is too humid... cause i don't have those towel heaters. my mom has one of those and it's great.
the sheets: in the summer once a week and in the winter once every two weeks.
this is how often i change them, not wash...
cause i only wash them after it piles up... :) since i use more softener* in them than in clothing.
*sorry, don't know how to translate this, it's liquid detergent meant to soften your clothes.
All of it once a week.
I do laundry once a week (I live in an apartment and have to pay or go to a family members house to do laundry) so I wash my sheets whenever I do.
However, I have a duvet cover that I only wash once I feel like it start to get "dirty" which means not great smelling.
I actually don't wash my towels that often because of the same no-washer problem. They add a lot of bulk to my wash and thus make laundry day longer and more of a pain. I would say I wash them once or twice a month. But if I use them for the floor or clean up anythign then I definitiely don't use them again until washed.
But I pretty much always use the same two towels that I am particular to. They have to be a certain thickness. I don't like overstuffed towels.
Ok, I'll admit it... I'm so bad at washing sheets. :(
I usually wash them once every 2-3 months, but I have 2-3 sets so they're only on there for about a month.
Pretty much the same thing with towels too.
Sheets and towels once every two weeks or so. The duvet cover, when it needs it. Admittedly, my sweetie does the wash, otherwise this would happen a lot less often. Coin-op washing is expensive, yo.
I take comfort in the fact that I'm saving water & energy by only washing the towels every 2 weeks, and the sheets every 3-4 weeks....
But then, we shower before bed, and live in a non-humid place where the towels never really get musty, so I could imagine how I'd feel the need to wash more often if circumstances were different.
being a germophobe, it took me forever to be able to use a towel more than 1 or 2 days in a row. my max now is 4 days. you may be clean after a shower, but you are wiping a ton of skin cells & soap scum onto your towel.
sheets depend on puppy & allergies- every 2 weeks, once a month at worst, but if dustier (hvac running) or puppy is shedding, i try to do weekly. pillowcases get changed out weekly per oily skin. i keep enough sheets & towels around though to change them & just wash when it adds up.
i remember hating to take showers at an ex's place. he maybe washed the same 2 towels once a month or so and they always smelled awful! he also used to buy new boxers instead of washing the pile he had.
I worked with a guy who said it was disgusting to use a towel more than once. I'd hate to do his laundry.
I change my sheets every Sunday and generally use a towel for a week unless I notice that it has developed a not-fresh smell, then it's straight to the wash. If you hang it up right to let it dry out well, a week seems reasonable.
I try to change sheets and towels every two weeks, and *wash* them when I've got a full load (every 4-6 weeks).
you don't clean towels b/c they smell. you clean them b/c microscopic skin cells rub off on them and then decay. same with sheets, adding in oil, hair, etc.
i use a white washcloth per day (face only); one bath towel per week (one a day is decadent); change pillowcases weekly and sheets as the spirit moves me (2-3 times a month). i wash sheets when my laundry load is light enough or motivation is in high supply.
being able to bathe daily and do laundry efficiently (instead of by hand) are relatively recent luxuries that are taking vastly for granted in the west. within two or three short generations an entire culture has developed as normal these ideas based on the easy availability of heat, clean water, hot water and machines to do the labor without us having to manually scrub, wring or hang each garment.
no one would call a towel a week disgusting if they spent an entire day cleaning their lonely change of clothes.
I wash towels and sheets once a week most of the time. I have a neighbour with a family of four who previously washed towels after each use! That was 8 towels A DAY, minimum. Needless to say, once she got a full time job, her philosophy of towel-washing was out the window, and she now does them once a week like everyone else.
I'm neither a germ-a-phobe, neat freak or healthcare pro, but remember that your skin is your largest living organ. Drying off after bathing removes tons of dead skin cells and surface residue. Imagine brushing your teeth without washing out your toothbrush!
Towels are one per load of laundry, which is about once every week to week and a half. I shower every other day generally, though. I have two towels.
Sheets are about once every three or four loads, whenever I feel like doing two loads that day. Again, I have two sets.
One pillowcase, the one that is next to my face most often, gets washed with ever load.
There's more washing in the summer when I can hang things out to dry easily (and I'm more likely to shower daily/be sweaty/be oily).
I agree with Lady J. Sometimes I feel decadent with how much I do wash my items.
sheets every weekend, and rotate or turn the mattress at the same time. i must be a glutton for punishment.
towels every weekend, 1 or 2 towels per week depending on how much I'm traveling during the week.
we wash the sheets every weekend, and pillowcases twice a week. i have allergies and asthma, so i start sleeping poorly if it goes longer than that.
we use towels twice, replace hand towels 2-3 times a week, and use a fresh wash cloth each day.
I change the sheets every weekend and use towels usually twice before getting another one. This means usually 2 loads of washing a week for these items. I feel a bit spoilt when i read that some readers have to take their laundry to the laundromat. It is unheard of to not have your own washing machine at home here in Australia, although some big apartment buildings are now beginning to have shared laundry facilities rather than one in each apartment.
How in the world does anyone have time to wash laundry twice each week?
We wash the sheets and towels every two weeks, just like the rest of the laundry. I've started doing the gym clothes every week, but that's just because I don't own enough sports bras to last for two weeks.
Ugh! If it were up to my husband we would never change the sheets, even until they were so worn they've lost their color and it starts making holes! If it were up to me, once a week, two max. But because laundry is his job, they usually get done once a month (because I can't stand it any longer, but he still drags his feet and complains the whole time).
Towels are very similar, but he's worse with the sheets (I think he just doesn't like having to make the bed...which is weird because I do that).
I change my bath and hand towels twice a week and my washcloth each day. Sheets are changed ever week or two.
all these reality shows about housewives and nannies have been a huge eye opener. i used to be confused as to why modern mom's are so time-cramped. a lot of women do laundry every day. and they feel bad if they're too tired to fold and put it away so the livingroom is neat again. stop doing it! once a week and that's that. how's it more convenient to have a home machine if you're constantly tied to it? the additional water and electricity can't offset the savings of not going to a laundromat. the only convenience is that you can run it at any hour and have exclusive access.
that comment about Australia was a big ! to me. what did people do before washing machines were invented? to have them in every unit instead of a designated room in a building is the exact opposite of the U.S. what building owner can't see the huge drain on resources, not to mention the additional risk of flooding and electrical fires. fascinating... my old building didn't have a laundry room. i pushed a cart up the steepest part of 181st Street NYC to the laundromat. lots of tenants had machines in their apartments. once a laundry room was installed everyone was notified to get rid of their machines.
I use my tovels only once, they never dry out ...ech!
Lady J -
Oh, I lived near the bottom of 181st St. in 1969-1971! I'm not sure, but I think it was #867. How I dreaded going up and down every day in winter, with the wind whipping around the curve. It was good for my weight control though - I often went hungry rather than drag the shopping cart all the way up to bus station, where the nearest supermarket was.
I've just had a wonderful trip down memory lane on Google Earth. I haven't been back since '71 but the neighborhood looks about the same. I see there's a Starbucks. When I moved there, there was one of the last original automats at the top of the hill, and my friends and I stayed there all night the day I moved in - I was the first to move out of my parents' house and it was thrilling. But the automat closed soon after.
In '72 I moved to San Francisco and often wondered if I would still think that hill was steep. But of course I've never had to climb a SF hill in snow & ice.
deniseb, that starbucks moved in five years ago, the year i moved away. there's nothing like trying to make it down that hill with ice on the ground. i once went 'round to 180 and walked down that street until it brought me back around to 181. much gentler incline.
Doesn't sound like much sex is going on if sheets are only needing changing every two weeks or once a month. Ewww...
Would do it every week, but since I have to trek to the laundromat, probably once a month. It's kindof gross. Oh, to have room for a washer/dryer!
Lady J - I think when moms talk about doing laundry every day... it's a load or two a day to keep up with demand. It would be far worse to try to get it all done in one day.
Granted... Americans have too much stuff!
When I was a kid, my mom did a load or two every couple of days to keep up with dad's work jeans and towels for a family of five. We were expected to use a towel for two days before tossing it in the laundry hamper. And jeans (except for dad's) were to be worn two or three times before hitting the hamper.
My brother and his wife are now living in the house we grew up in... with the same size family ... and Sis in law has NEVER seen the bottom of the laundry pile because she buys her kids too much crap! they wear it all once and into the laundry it goes.
I pay $2.50 to wash and dry a load of clothes, and I wash four loads once a week, on Saturday morning. Towels get washed every week, bedding gets washed every two weeks. I don't have the musty damp towel problem because I installed a 28" towel bar, which accommodates a standard-sized bath towel with no folding.
sheets- once a week
pillowcases- 2 x's a week ( for mine)
towels-every week-and lots of washrags that get all washed at one time.
I agree - not much going on if you hardly ever change your bed-ewww...
Sheets- Once a week ( a must)
Towels- I use 2-3 new towels a week.
Wash Cloths- I use a fresh one daily (too personal to use more than once)
Blankets-4-6 weeks
sheets-once a week a must
towels- use 2-3 a week and wash once a week
wash cloths- use a fresh one daily and wash them weekly
blankets- wash once a month
We try and do laundry three times a week.
Lots of Australians don't have the room or resources for an at-home laundry or washing machine, Erin. They wash things in bathtubs and at launderettes.
sheets- every three weeks or so
towels- use twice then use a fresh one
wash clothes- after i have company
duvet cover- maybe once a month
i'd like to do my sheets more, i mean, i have 3 different sets, it just always slips my mind.
growing up i'd use towels once and that was it. once i moved out on my own and had to pay for my own laundry i started using them twice. i have about 8 towels so i don't have to worry about running out.
i rarely use handtowels, so i typically don't wash them unless i have guests over and know they've been used.
i usually do laundry once every 10 or so days. by that time i've had enough dirty clothes and towels to make a full load of darks and a full load of lights.
Sort of off topic... but laundry related:
I have these hand towels from JCPenny Home Collection: Chris Madden "Spa Towels" (white). They are used normally: for clean wet hands. What I don't understand is how they almost instantly developed a gray color where you wipe your clean hands. They never seem to totally dry either. (I have no problem with the matching bath towels - except that one is tearing along the edge.) I've of course washed them and I've tried bleaching them.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this grey nastiness? Thanks!
Sheets: Once a week. They are white so you can see every little stain, but even so I wouldn't have them for much more then a week.
towels: 2 towels per person per week. Bathmats ect or the handtowel in the guest toilet, that doesn't get used often I wash with the other towels once a week.
I am committed to chocolate brown sheets. I tend to only get to them once every 2-3 weeks because of crazy work and school schedules student broke-ness and an expensive machine. If there has been a lot of action however, I might take off the bottom sheet and put the unfitted sheet in its place until I get the chance.
I also try to keep the thermostat low to limit sweating.
Towels again are colorful. I wash them when I have change... I do switch them up about every week and a half. I tend to buy bamboo hand and hair towels to keep damp-towel bacteria at bay. Maybe I should switch to bamboo sheets too!

River Cottage Veg Every Day!
About Me: Recipes taken from the River Cottage Veg Every Day! cookbook and the channel 4 TV series River Cottage Veg.
Asian-inspired coleslaw
This is based on a recipe from Taste: A New Way to Cook, by the marvellous Sybil Kapoor. It's wonderfully aromatic, quite unlike any other coleslaw I've ever tried, and I urge you to give it a go.
Spring onion galette
This is a really tasty, quick supper. The spring onions should be just charred in places and slightly chewy on the outside, yet steamed-tender in the middle.
Three-root boulangere
One could hardly call this dish 'light', but it's certainly less rich than a creamy, dauphinoise-style gratin, and a lovely way to enjoy the flavours of some seasonal roots. You don't have to stick to the ones I suggest here: try substituting Jerusalem artichokes, carrots or swede, for example; they all work well. I like to serve this with big flat field mushrooms simply baked with some butter, garlic and cheese (see page 385) and some good bread.
Cannellini bean and leek soup with chilli oil
The chilli oil gives this soup a deliciously piquant finish. Once made, the oil will keep, sealed in an airtight container in the fridge, for a couple of weeks, and you can use it to add a bit of heat to marinades and salad dressings or to trickle over pizzas. However, if you don't have time to make it, you can simply trickle a little extra virgin olive oil over the soup and finish with some shavings of Parmesan, pecorino or hard goat's cheese.
Hot squash foldover
Foldovers are a great way to use freshly made flat breads but the same filling can be stuffed into a warm pitta bread with very pleasing results.
Fennel and celeriac soup with orange zest
This velvety, gently aniseedy soup is given warmth and definition with a touch of orange zest. The rich-but-sharp crème fraîche added at the end balances it all out nicely.
Kale and Mushroom Lasagne
A dish that requires a little bit of extra preparation, but one you can put together in a relaxed way over an hour or two that results in something truly warming and delicious.
Swede speltotto
Spelt has a nutty flavour that goes very well with earthy root vegetables. Roasted wedges of pumpkin or beetroot work brilliantly in place of the swede, but instead of adding at the beginning, stir in the diced flesh of the roasted veg just a minute or two before the speltotto is finished.
Upside-down onion tart
This is now a favourite 'cupboard's-bare' recipe, shown to me by my friend Sarah Raven. With just two ingredients – onions and puff pastry – you can produce, in a short space of time, something rather smart and very tasty.
Mushroom risoniotto
Risoni (or orzo) is a tiny rice-shaped pasta with a unique charm. There's something deeply satisfying about its texture, and it's quicker and easier to cook than rice. Here, it's combined with a rich mushroom ragout for a warming autumn or winter dish. Use a dark and flavoursome variety of mushroom, such as chestnut, open-cap or field mushrooms, and include a few wild mushrooms if you have some to hand.

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am so glad my son goes to Gibson. Dispite my long drive to get him to school it is worth it. Principal Clary is awesome and very involved and goes out of his way to help all at the school!
Gibson is a wonderful school. The PTA is a newer group, with great ideas and they even got a new garden installed last year. The principal is a true leader, and clearly believes in each student. We are grateful for this school.
Our experience has been phenomenal at Gibson. We started there last year and it was an incredible year for our son. The principal (Scott Clary) is an active, positive, and visible participant in the culture. Yolanda in the office is very helpful and knowledgeable, also wonderful with the children. Any concerns or ideas we have are always heard/considered and we feel very supported.
We've been impressed by many of the educators that we've encountered here. Not only does Principal Clary know everyones names, but he regularly checks in with the kids during the school day and acknowledges their accomplishments. It really brightens their faces. There are new after school programs being implemented and parent volunteer groups are growing, making the school community a really positive place for the kids.
Gibson is the best elementary school for the kids with disabilities. We're so grateful for all the assistance my son gets from his teacher and administration.

Synopsis: The War of the Worlds is neither a new adaptation of H.G. Wells' sci-fi opus nor a single documentary on the novel and its spin-offs. Instead, it contains a compilation of materials loosely related to Wells' original novel. Of the four programs herein, the first is a riveting and suspenseful hour-long theatrical docudrama, set in a single locale -- a TV news station -- during a Martian invasion of Earth; the second sequence, "Ms. Intergalactic," does a sci-fi spoof of beauty pageants, cutting humorously ...

21 March 2012 Stuff We Like
Chairlift - Something
So I admit, Something does not need a recognition boost, having already been applauded by the likes of Pitchfork, Rough Trade, and NME. Not to mention a previous "Stuff We Like" nod from our own John Siegel back on February 1. Nevertheless, why not offer another chance to snag this gem at 15% off, for those of you that have been waffling for the last couple of months?
This record has personally been a go to pick-me-up lately, which I'm sad to say is necessary given my standing in the basement of our Insound March Madness pool. I love the '80s pop sensibility and the whimsical, if not nonsensical, lyrics and choreography of YouTube sensation, "Amanamonesia." It's like amnesia for my troubles.
Speaking of videos, if you haven't seen the follow-up video for "Met Before," you should open a second tab and do so right now. The video plays like a classic '80s "Choose Your Own Adventure" series book, where you control the plot, which is undeniably rad. This left me feeling nostalgic for childhood, and as a former research scientist, nostalgic for doing laboratory experiments.
So, do yourself a solid...welcome in the "Pop Tarts and sunshine" feeling of Spring with open arms by spinning this feel-good friend. As my friend Erick would say, it's not just good, it's punch your grandmother good. Speaking of which, call your grandmother, she'd love to hear from you. Tell her that you bought this record. Maybe she'll invite you over for tea, and you can listen together on her old Victrola.

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- With an Olympic berth on the line, Canada opened the men's NORCECA volleyball qualifying tournament Monday with a convincing 25-21, 25-13, 25 -15 win over the Dominican Republic.
Coach Glenn Hoag said the Canadian team performed well, although Gord Perrin from Creston, B.C., hurt his back and his status for the next few games is uncertain.
"I thought the guys played a good match," Hoag said after the win. "The Dominican Republic is a weaker team and usually it's difficult to keep your focus."
The NORCECA region covers North America, Central America and the Caribbean, with Cuba and the United States the teams to beat if Canada wants to qualify for the London Games.
"We started slowly but we picked up our pace and set up our block defence and it looked good," said Hoag. "We need to work on our serving a little and our setter-hitter relationship, but that's mainly due to spacial orientation in this big, big gym."
Saskatoon's Gavin Schmitt scored 12 points for Canada against the 46th-ranked Dominicans.
Canada, ranked 18th in the world, plays No. 17 Puerto Rico on Tuesday.
"They're a much better team obviously, more experienced and play a much faster game," Hoag added. "(But) I'm pretty confident. We beat them last summer twice."
The tournament runs through Saturday.
Dan Lewis said the Canadian team knows it has reached a level where it can compete with some of the best.
A Canadian men's team hasn't played at the Olympics since the 1992 Games in Barcelona.
"Today we looked a little but nervous at the start. Everybody knows which matches are the big matches," said Lewis. "The team over the last two years has really come together under Glenn's leadership.
"Our level is there and it's really the last mental part, where you've got to put it together at the right time."
To do that, he says they have to make the stress work for them rather than against them, and not focus on the result they're trying to achieve.
"If you're worrying about the result you're not focusing on the play and if you don't focus on the play, you're going to lose."
He says he knows what he has to deal with stress and make it work for him.
"You've got to accept it and just know it's there and you've got to funnel it to your intensity and in your favour. If we can do that as a group, we're going to win this tournament."
Canada's women's team failed to qualify for the Olympics at a tournament last week.

Baby's First Birthday: Creating Traditions and Planning Celebrations
It's All in the Planning
Set your guests' arrival time just after your child's morning or afternoon nap. This will ensure that he's fresh and ready for an afternoon full of fun, excitement, and visitors. Keeping your decorations simple will also help your youngster enjoy the day without getting overwhelmed. Creating a relaxed, familiar, and fun environment for your child may lessen the chance of his becoming shy around guests, or spending the special day clinging to Mom or Dad.
At this age, stranger and separation anxiety can prevent youngsters from enjoying company—whether they are familiar people or not. Try to keep your list of guests to a minimum. If you have a large family (and this is easier said than done) consider setting aside a room for an adult and the youngsters to be in, and reserve another room or part of the house for your other guests to lessen anxiety for little ones. If you are planning a party outdoors, you can create the same comfortable environment for your child by setting aside a toddler tent, or fencing in an area so that the little ones can play under the careful watch of a parent.
Schedule your party time for about an hour and a half to two hours. This will allow plenty of time for fun and festivities, but will appropriately fit the attention span—and energy level—of most little ones.

July 07, 2012, 7:45 AM — Like many users, I have several e-mail accounts. In fact, I have three with Gmail alone.
A couple days ago, I noticed that one of the accounts hadn't received any new mail for about 24 hours. That seemed very strange, as the flow of messages to that address had always been strong and steady.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 3 things Google Apps needs to fix... like, NOW ]
I figured it was probably a temporary glitch at Google's end (there was a Gmail outage just a couple months ago), so I waited another day to see if it would clear up on its own.
Needless to say, it didn't. I checked Google's App Status Dashboard for any known issues, but it was green across the board. I also Googled "Gmail outage" (and narrowed the search to the last 24 hours) and came up empty. Clearly, the problem was at my end.
But what was the problem? My two other Gmail accounts were chugging along just fine. But this one inbox sat empty, as though someone had simply turned off the mail spigot.
As it turned out, the flow wasn't turned off, but rather redirected. See, when I checked Gmail's Spam filter, I discovered that junk mail was still arriving. It stood to reason that "good" mail was still arriving as well, just not landing in my inbox.
A quick visit to Gmail's Settings, Filters proved my theory: a filter was rerouting all new mail to Gmail's All Mail "folder" (sometimes known as the Archive), effectively bypassing the Inbox.
In fact, there were two identical filters doing this. How did they get there? I have no idea. I certainly didn't create them. But there they were. I quickly deleted both, and presto: problem solved. (I did have to visit All Mail, select my "missing" messages, and move them to my Inbox so I could process them normally.)
If you want to learn more about problems like this and potential resolutions, Google has a help page devoted to incoming Gmail messages that don't arrive.
In the meantime, if you ever encounter a similar inbox interruption, check Gmail's filters. You might just find the mysterious culprit.
