Cool, clean, water.
In West Texas it is common knowledge the clear stuff isn't very abundant. Each gallon of water used is an expensive commodity. And Lubbock Mayor Tom Martin says Lubbockite's need to conserve.
"We want to have a nice looking city but everybody needs to realize they need to cut back and conserve because the problem particularly comes during the summer months," Martin said.
Martin says this year Lubbock is for the most part in the clear and citizens shouldn't be too concerned about water restrictions. But next year could be a very different story.
"Next year is the year that will probably be the make or break year. If Lake Meredith does dry up, the new well-field projects that CRMWA has in Roberts County won't be online until 2010," Martin said.
And that could leave Lubbock dried up until that well-field project is complete.
Another Lubbock water issue was addressed on Friday at a media conference held by city council members Floyd Price and Linda DeLeon. They alerted the public that Lubbock loses 6%, or 1.7 million gallons of water a day due to old pipes. There are currently six projects either underway or in the works to correct that problem. And Martin says there is an upside to that water issue.
"The good news is compared to other city's which have up to 15% water loss, ours is relatively small," Martin said.
But the mayor says the fact remains Lubbockite's need to conserve. They need to be aware and mindful that turning on the faucet or the sprinkler isn't a meaningless task to be taken lightly.
"Here's the bottom line. The days of cheap and plentiful water are over. And cities are going to have to do a better job of encouraging citizens to conserve," added the Mayor.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222303Many franchise companies are using a "Discovery Day" approach to ending the franchise sales process. This type of event typically allows the prospective franchisee to meet and interact with a number of the executives and support staff of the franchise company. The interaction allows you to form an impression from them of the culture and values of the company. It allows them to form an impression of you to decide how well they think you'll do in their business.
The most common format involves group presentations and one-on-one meetings. They will deliver information to you and should also allow plenty of time for you to raise any remaining questions. The days are usually crammed full of activities that may also include tours of existing units or interviews with one or more franchisees.
These events are almost always the precursor to making a decision about whether or not to enter into a franchise together. You need to decide about the company, and vice versa. While some weaker franchisors will approve almost anyone who attends, stronger franchisors will decline as many as 30 percent to 50 percent of their discovery day attendees.
Some good advice before you go is to think about discovery day as if it was a job interview -- your first task is to make sure you get offered the job. From there you can decide whether or not you want to take it. In the context of a discovery day, you want to make sure that they offer you the franchise by demonstrating a good attitude and behavior to them.
You also want to make sure you gather all of the information and impressions you need to decide whether that franchise -- and the franchisors -- are right for you. The franchisors will usually expect you to make your decision fairly quickly after discovery day so be prepared and you should find this event to be of great value in helping you make your decision.

Someone had to take the picture. Model is easier on the eyes

Where did you get the crash bar with the highway pegs?
Moneill, the crash bar is standard BMW issue. The pegs are the rear pegs from the bike that I relocated to the front after making the frame for the Pelican cases and attaching one point of the frame to the original rear peg mount. The mount for the pegs I machined on a Sherline mill and lathe. Look in the F650 forum for "highway pegs" and you will see more close up photos of the pegs. Here's one of the peg folded up.
Well Done.
You have the wheels turning - the mental ones. Very much like the highway pegs ideas. I just don't like the folded up posture of many bikes. This would give the chance to stretch out on a longer ride.
Thanks again for a great idea.

If you wish to make a link under a name to what it link to, write it out like this:

which will appear like this this.

Silver's picture
Sorry! I have no idea where it came from either. Though, I've seen the image on the cover of the True Colors album, so maybe it was made by Sonic Channel. Also, I wasn't the one who originally uploaded the image of Silver. That was done by User:Sonictopfan. I just added it to Silver's art gallery once I saw it.DarkFuture 16:29, March 12, 2011 (UTC)No problem! In fact, here it is: DarkFuture 16:37, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

When uploading a new image, first click "Edit this page!" located right next to the title of the page. Next, click the first brown rectangular image that says "Add a photo".

Real text editor
Can I recommend that you switch off Wikia's real text editor. Some odd effects are happening (probably accidentally) when you edit some pages, and switching off the real text editor will probably help. It'll also make it easier for you to add links, because you'll be able to see the code that does it. You can switch it off by going into 'My preferences' from the drop-down menu in the top right hand corner, going to the tab 'Editing', then unchecking the box that says 'Enable Rich Text Editor' and saving. -- Supermorff 11:42, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
That is quite the accomplishment. You have been working very hard lately. Keep up the good work! Alter the Wolf Protector of Chaos 15:09, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
It's not a really big deal, no, I just thought it might help with some things. For example, you created the page Yado, but all of the text in the first paragraph was resized because of an html tag that the real text editor added, probably without your knowledge. You can upload images through Special:Upload, which is accessible either in your sidebar or I've got a link in the 'My tools' menu at the bottom of the page (I'm not sure whether it's there by default). Then you can add a picture to a page by typing [[File:NAMEOFPICTURE.jpg|thumb]]. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by 'userbox', so I can't help you there. -- Supermorff 17:53, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
Hey m8! Would you like a colored signature? I can make one if you want. Also, would you like me to change your catchphrase on your talk bubble from "Best Boss Beat Ever" to something else? Alter the Wolf Protector of Chaos 15:40, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
That video is so awesome! I can't believe that it was fanmade because it looks so official. You should make a blog to advertise that video better. Not too many people are going to see it on my talk page. Alter the Wolf Protector of Chaos 17:38, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I think that is incorrect. It was probably added by a wikia contributor. I'll check it out. DarkFuture talk contribs blog 14:16, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
I have no idea if that should stay in there or not. I can't remove it because it might be true. Sources might appear eventually. If fact, I'm going to go look for some right now. If I can't find any, I will remove those stages immediately. DarkFuture talk contribs blog 14:26, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
I couldn't find any sources related to those stages appearing in Sonic Generations. I'll let an admin handle it, just in case I'm still wrong. DarkFuture talk contribs blog 14:57, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

A group of nine Nebraska Wesleyan students and two advisers went on a Chicago Urban Culture Immersion Trip during spring break in March 2009.
The mission of the trip was to introduce students to various cultures and ethnic backgrounds, open their minds to the different world outside Lincoln, Nebraska and encourage them to learning a new perspective and gain an appreciation for the lives of others.
The trip was five days long and students left by train on Saturday morning and flew back Wednesday night. Each day was filled with all kinds of culture learning activities.
At the end of the day, the group would gather together and reflect on what they saw, what they heard, what they learned, and how that changed or challenged their perspective.
Of all the places the students went to, some that were especially educational and made an impression were St. Sabina's church service, Downtown Islamic Center, Chinatown and the service project at Casa Central where students acted as teachers and mentors and interacted with the children.
Chicago was new for many of the students that went on the trip. It provided an excellent chance for students to learn from this experience and from each other as well.
Many commented that it was an amazing experience and they would definitely recommend it to others!

You know one of the biggest challenges I have in sourcing content for this site is finding fabulous Australian Homes to feature every single week! For this reason I must say always appreciate a reader tip-off (hint hint!), particularly for interstate homes which of course are a little trickier to find! Today's home is one such tip-off – the stunning NSW Coastal home of interior designer Sonya Marish was mentioned to me recently by Sydney-based Tina Clark, whose own Tamarama home I featured on the site many moons ago! (…Tina's home has since been featured by Real Living and I think in fact can be seen in their current issue!)
Anyway I am so grateful to Tina for this one… because it sure is a beauty!
Sonya Marish's house is more than just a vibrant happy home to her growing family – it's also the perfect showcase for the stunning tiles she sources through her company, Jatana Interiors. Sonya sells the most incredible rare antique floor and wall tiles sourced from across the globe. It is just the most exquisite hand-picked collection.. and Sonya is also able to custom design tiles for a truly bespoke service – and a bathroom unlike anyone else's! Many of Sonya's favourite finds have been put to good use in her own home – just looking at these shots, it's clear how passionate she is about these precious pieces!
Sonya has always been one to seek out unique pieces… she has spent years travelling the globe and picking up gorgeous items from far away places, and of course displaying them with pride at home to remind her of her travels. A while ago Sonya started to buy her special finds en masse with a plan to set up a little market stall at the local markets in Sydney and in the NSW North Coast.
It was her love of intricate and exotic patterns that first inspired Sonya's purchases – whether those patterns were found in silver jewelery, on cushions, throws, quilts or clothing, Sonya says she 'just loved the busyness, the detail, the life in the designs.' This love soon transferred to an obsession with finding intricately patterned tiles for her own bathroom renovation. She had recently completed Interior Design training when embarking on her bathroom project, and was very excited to put her new skills into practice at home. It soon became apparent that her passion was in antique and reproduction decorated tiles – just like all her decorated fabrics, only in tile form, or as she says, in 'hard copy!'
Sonya's obsession with these tiles grew and grew as she accumulated and sourced more and more designs – 'They are an artform within themselves and bring something special to a space, beyond their beautiful colour and patterns' says Sonya. It wasn't long before Jatana Interiors was born!
If you love her home, chances are you will also seriously love Sonya's stunning collection of tiles… Do pop over and see the gorgeousness for yourself!
ps. Sonya also has a great little blog!

Very excited as this is something that I have wanted to get done for a while now. I'm 18 , 174cm tall and 62 kgs. I currently wear a 10b or 34b. Had my consult last week with dr layt from the layt clinic on the Gold Coast. Absolutely loved him!
He has this vecta 3D imaging system where he takes a picture of your chest and can put different types and sized implants. We both agreed that the 450cc looked best. I'm hoping to be a 10dd/e. I tried on the 450cc sizers at his office and I love them! Perfect size I think. Was a bit worried about having a large boob gap but he said that is common in thiner patients with a wider chest width.
Starting to get everything ready and hoping to have the surgery late January/early February. Will be booking next week.
The quote dr layt gave me was $10,286 which is not as expensive as I thought it would be.
Very excited as this is something that I have...
Very happy so far!

THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP, Virginia Mayo
OTTAWA - On March 30, 2009, Prime Minister Stephen Harper sat down for lunch in New York with Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.
The meeting was not on any public itinerary released by the Prime Minister's Office and only came to light when The Canadian Press searched media consultant Ari Fleischer's mandatory disclosures with the U.S. Justice Department.
Ailes is the longtime Republican communications guru who is the president of Fox News Channel, which is owned by Murdoch's News Corp.
Harper's soon-to-be-ex-communications director Kory Teneycke was also present.
Four months later, Teneycke had left the PMO — barely a year into his job as Harper's chief spokesman — only to pick up a contract with Quebecor to explore a project that Ottawa insiders almost immediately described as a fledgling "Fox News North."
His goal was a punchy, provocative, right-of-centre network to shake up what Teneycke describes as the "lame-stream media."
On Tuesday in Toronto, barely 10 months after Teneycke left the Prime Minister's Office, his new full-time employer Pierre Karl Peladeau will announce Quebecor Media Inc.'s plans for a "new investment in Canadian media" and a "major announcement concerning the marriage of television and the Internet."
The billionaire media baron has already applied to the federal broadcast regulator for an all-news, English-language television license after a year of personal lobbying in Ottawa.
Teneycke is in the middle of the operation as a newly hired Quebecor vice-president.
It's been a remarkably fast and focused project development.
Peladeau met with Harper twice early in 2009, according to the lobbyist registry, while also making the rounds of senior cabinet ministers such as Jim Flaherty, Tony Clement and James Moore.
By August, Teneycke had left the PMO and in September a three-month contract with Quebecor became public knowledge.
By last October, Quebecor's Sun TV in Toronto had let go anchor Jannette Luu because she was "not controversial enough" — according to an insider — and Teneycke's vision for a conservative network was leaking out.
By this spring, Peladeau's lobbying efforts were in full bloom.
Since January he has had three registered sit-downs with Konrad von Finkenstein, the CRTC president, along with meetings with other CRTC officials and a Jan. 20 session with Moore, the Heritage minister who oversees the broadcast regulator.
Quebecor's application to the CRTC is reported to be for a coveted first tier designation, meaning all cable subscribers in the country would receive the channel whether they wanted it or not. Quebecor would automatically receive the cable fees accorded such a channel.
For CBC News Network, that amounts to some $65 million annually.
While the CRTC has been reluctant to grant such licenses, any decision could be over-ruled by cabinet.
Chris Waddell of Carleton University's business journalism program says selling advertising on a news network dedicated to conservative ideology could be a tough sell, because the viewing demographic is so diverse.
But if Quebecor gains access to first-tier fees, Waddell notes you don't even necessarily need many viewers or advertisers to stay afloat.
And as Fox has shown, provocative fare can attract a huge viewership over time.
David Frum, a Canadian-born conservative pundit in Washington, has lamented the power of the "conservative entertainment industry" to whip "the Republican voting base into such a frenzy that deal-making was rendered impossible" on health-care reform.
"The real leaders are on TV and radio, and they have very different imperatives from people and government," Frum wrote this spring.
"Talk radio thrives on confrontation and recrimination."
Anger drives eyeballs.
Teneycke and other conservatives have played down talk of "Fox News North" and any overt right-wing agenda. Even the Fox News name is held in Canada by rival media giant Shaw.
But Teneycke's partisanship is bred in the bone and goes back years to his work for the Mike Harris Conservatives in Ontario, the Reform party and the Saskatchewan Party.
Before joining the PMO he worked for the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, where he ran "Thank-you Stephen Harper" commercials.
His current Facebook page helps complete the picture.
"Have been plowing through Q1 ratings data in the US. 'Crushing' is too soft a word for what Fox is doing to CNN," he wrote April 6.
He lauds Glenn Beck, Fox's anti-government conspiracy theorist, and makes note of a National Enquirer headline about "Obama Cheating Scandal."
"The Enquirer has a remarkably strong track record on these stories of late... Tiger Woods and John Edwards. We shall see ..." writes Teneycke.
Of his recent CBC gig as a Conservative pundit, Teneycke wrote: "I am a political commentator, not a journalist and not an employee."
And his edgy, controversial humour shines through: "To the pot heads who keep sending me crazy, profane emails: I hope (imprisoned pot activist) Marc Emery enjoys group showers as much as he enjoys pot. Three cheers for the DEA."
For the record, Teneycke said Monday the Quebecor venture was not discussed at Harper's New York meeting with the Fox News leadership last spring.
Asked what was discussed, PMO spokesman Dimitri Soudas responded by email that "the prime minister meets with a wide range of people from the business, cultural, telecommunication and other sectors when travelling or here at home."

Watch the Power of AMI Teacher Training
This 20 minute film gives an overview of Montessori education from birth through age 12, contains interviews with people training to become Montessori teachers as well as teachers in their classrooms. It's a nice introduction to Montessori and the training process for anyone considering becoming a Montessori teacher.
The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) was founded by Maria Montessori in 1929 to protect the integrity of her work. Today, AMI continues to uphold these standards by offering high-quality, authentic and rigorous teacher training through its affiliated training centers.
The AMI diploma is used in over 110 countries as a mark of teacher training excellence. Graduates of AMI training courses must demonstrate understanding of educational theory, child development, observation techniques, use and presentation of the Montessori materials, and ability to create appropriate activities for children. The practice teaching component solidifies this learning through hands-on work in Montessori classrooms.
AMI courses are conducted by AMI trainers, master teachers who have completed the Training of Trainers program and have a profound understanding of Montessori theory and practice.
In the past ten years, Montessori schools have nearly doubled their student enrollment, and positions at AMI-recognized schools go unfilled. Your AMI diploma allows you to pursue your Montessori career with the confidence that comes from extensive training and foundational knowledge.
Options for undergraduate and graduate credit are available through colleges and universities affiliated with individual training centers. Explore our Teacher Training section to learn more.
On Infants & Toddlers
Corinne Stastny, Primary Course Assistant at MNW, mother, and former Montessori Teacher, lends her insights into Montessorians working with the youngest members of our world; babies and toddlers.
The Montessori approach to children under the age of three evokes much curiosity and enthusiasm from those more familiar with Montessori at other age levels. Those of us with Primary or Elementary backgrounds know we love our prepared environments, know we love Montessori, and are sure that babies and toddlers everywhere would no doubt fall in love with a Montessori learning environment designed for them! However, we also know that Montessori is not always easy to convey or understand in just a few short sentences.
I've picked the brains of Assistants to Infancy (A to I) trained alumni a bit, combined it with my own experiences applying A to I principles with my child, and am happy to give some introductory resources for families creating mindful environments for little ones. My focus here is just on babies who are not yet walking, as the most common question I hear from curious enthusiastic souls is "Someone's having a baby and is curious about Montessori. What should I tell them?" Below is a menu of resources, choose what you feel best captures the imagination of your target audience!
Know that the same essential principles apply to Montessori at any age group: respect and communication, supporting independence, free choice within limits, learning through experience, preparing an environment that matches the specific needs of the child.
While rather involved, the inspiring texts of Understanding the Human Being by Silvana Montanaro and The Child and the Family by Dr Maria Montessori can be a strong resource for families seeking to a deeper connection to theory.
AidToLife.org– This beautiful, clear, and powerful website, provided by AMI, offers simple, straightforward advice that is easy to understand and apply.
MichaelOlaf.net - Michael Olaf and Susan Stephenson have inspired Montessorians, parents, and parents-to-be for years. The Joyful Child, a book focusing on 0-3 in the home, is now available and a rich resource!
In a Montessori Home is an inspiring book and DVD package from NAMTA featuring families enjoying Montessori principles in the home.
There are some fabulous blogs about applying Montessori in the home. A few particularly enjoyable ones are The Full Montessori, Montessori Moms, and Montessori on the Double.
Aside from schools, A to I graduates often share their knowledge via private consultations. Montessori Northwest has the names of a few of these parent educators, and would welcome the names of more!
Come to Montessori Northwest, where we have a model home and toddler community environments. We have regular open houses and are happy to schedule individual tours Monday – Friday. The Assistants to Infancy training course is enrolling for the summers of 2014 and 15, and we are seeking not only teachers-in-training for this level, but also families whose infants can participate in on-site observation sessions both summers. Being part of the observation is an incredible window into the Montessori approach to this age group!

Life and Death in the Kimberley
I visited my sister Robyn and her three young children in Australia recently. They live in a hot, remote, and beautiful part of Western Australia called the Kimberley, defined by its ancient landscape, red dirt, and boab trees. I don't get to see my two nieces (Kailey, 5, and Millie, 3) and my handsome young nephew Sam (almost 8) very often, so it was a rare time for us to be together. While I was staying with them, however, a sad event occurred: Hopscotch the family rabbit died.
Hoppy had been in the family for a number of years, alternately crabby and affectionate, depending on his mood of the day. In general, though, he was a good rabbit, and gave the children an opportunity to be responsible as they attended to his physical needs: feeding, giving water, cleaning the hutch.
On occasion, Robyn would remove Hoppy from his hutch and put him in an old, rusted-out, flat-bottomed boat on their property. This would give Hoppy a chance to hop about and stretch his legs without risk of him escaping into a dingo's jaws. On the day of Hoppy's demise, he'd been placed in the boat with a bowl of water and an open hutch for his comfort. He'd done this many times without incident. We left to go on a boating tour of nearby Lake Argyle (which, fun fact, contains enough water to fill nineteen Sydney Harbors). It was after dark when we returned from our trip, and we immediately put the kids to bed.
"We should go get Hoppy", I said, once the children were tucked in. Together, Robyn and I went out to the boat. Hoppy was lying in some leaves, very still. Unusually still. Immediately, I thought, "That's one dead rabbit, right there". My sister took a little longer to convince.
"Hoppy?" she called uncertainly.
Predictably, Hoppy made no response.
"Hoppy?" Robyn called again with mounting alarm. She nudged him. He did exactly what you'd expect a dead rabbit to do. Robyn's hands flew to her mouth.
"I think he's dead".
"I think you're right", I agreed, nodding.
"I can't believe he's dead!"
I nodded again. "He certainly is dead".
We silently regarded the furry, motionless body.
"How do you think he died?" Robyn asked.
"Hmm…. heatstroke? Snakebite? Old age? Who can know?"
We stood there, a little shocked, staring at the earthly remains of Hoppy the rabbit. Our thoughts turned to the same topic: what should we tell the kids?
"Maybe we should tell them he ran away", Robyn ventured.
I thought about this for a while. He ran away… how would the children respond to that? Maybe they'd think he'd return at some point. Maybe they'd want to go looking for him. Maybe they'd be worried for his safety, imagining him being attacked by dingoes or being hungry or scared. Maybe they'd become anxious that other animals – or even people – would run away, too.
"I think we should tell them he died", I said.
My mind turn to the Montessori training and the suggestions I'd received about how to deal with this type of situation. True and brief. Compassionate but not pitying. I was already writing the speech for the children in my head. I delivered some of it to my sister, and explained how this was a sad but useful opportunity to acquaint the kids with the realities of death and dying. Eventually we agreed that we'd tell the children after school the next day.
In the meantime, we went to work committing Hoppy's corporeal form to the earth from whence it came. Which is to say, we dug a hole and buried him.
The next day dawned and the children didn't notice Hoppy's absence prior to departing for school. When they returned home the next day, and were enjoying an iceblock on the veranda, the moment seemed ripe to break the news to them. Robyn and I had sketched out a plan, and I felt confident delivering the story.
"So… there's something that we have to tell you", I began. "Something quite sad".
Three pairs of eyes looked at me. They continued to eat their iceblocks, but I had captured their interest.
"Do you remember Speckles the dog?" Speckles was Robyn's beloved dog who had died a few years earlier. Sam and Kailey were old enough to remember her.
"Speckles was a good dog. She had a long life, and had a lot of fun. We loved her very much. And when she got old, she died, and we couldn't see her anymore".
Okay… here it comes.
"Last night when we came home, it was very late and you all went right to bed. Mum and I went to the boat to get Hoppy and put him in his hutch. But when we saw him, we found out that he'd died".
Blank looks.
"Hoppy was dead. He wasn't moving. He wasn't playing or breathing".
Sam's bottom lip started to quiver. He was older, and he was following along in a way that the two younger girls weren't. I forged ahead with the story.
"Mum and I were very sad that Hoppy had died. We knew we needed to bury his body, so we dug a big hole over near the windmill. Then we put his body in the hole, and covered it up again".
"Can we see him?" asked Kailey.
"No, honey. We can't see Hoppy anymore. He's dead. That means we can't see him again. He can't move or play or eat or breathe anymore".
The children took this in. They were quiet, but not devastated. Millie ate her iceblock without understanding. Sam became thoughtful. Kailey appeared to be mentally chewing this over, as well.
"It's sad when pets die, because it means that we can't see them anymore. But we will always have happy memories of them. If you like, we can each take a stone and put it on Hoppy's grave, which is the place where he's buried. You can have a nice memory of Hoppy anytime and anywhere you like, but sometimes it's good to have a special place to go to remember him. And his grave is a special place".
There was general agreement that stones should be placed on Hoppy's grave. We all gathered some stones (mine being much larger and heavier to deter any enterprising dingoes from grave-robbing), and we journeyed to Hoppy's final resting place.
Kailey looked down at the mound of dirt, her stone for Hoppy clutched tightly in her hand.
"I want to see him", she said, a little sadly.
"We can't see him anymore, Kailey love. He's dead, so he can't play with us or be with us anymore. But we can remember some nice stories about him. What was your favorite thing about Hoppy?"
She considered this. "He was soft and nice".
"Yes, he was, wasn't he? Hoppy was a soft and nice rabbit".
I put my big stones on Hoppy's grave. The children did the same with their smaller rocks.
"Bye, Hoppy", I said, modeling the finality of the moment. "You were a soft and nice rabbit".
"Bye, Hoppy", Kailey echoed.
We stood there for a few minutes until our shoes were discovered by the large and aggressive ants that had emerged from a nearby ant nest. We stamped our feet. This was still the Kimberley, and life continued, uncaring that Hoppy did not.
We walked back to the house. "That went well, I think", said Robyn. I agreed.
There had been no hysterics, no real tears. I had been very cautious to avoid using any euphemisms for death. I didn't say Hoppy was sleeping. I didn't say that he's passed away. Euphemisms are for adults, who understand the real meaning behind the words. The children needed to know that dead meant dead: not breathing, not moving, not playing or eating or thinking anymore. Dead meant never coming back.
Robyn informed her husband, Mat, about Hoppy's death that evening. Mat is an electrician who works at the Argyle diamond mine about 200 kilometers (124 miles) away. Millie, the youngest, was all too happy to inform Mat about Hoppy.
"Hoppy got dead!" she reported enthusiastically. "We dug a hole and buried him!"
For a very young child like Millie, the event was easier to accept. Hoppy was here, and now he's not. And it makes for a good story to tell Dad, apparently.
The next evening at bedtime, Kailey became very sad as the true impact of Hoppy's absence hit home. She cried, lamenting both the loss of Hoppy and the loss of a pet. In between shuddering sobs and back rubs, we remembered all the things we loved about Hoppy: how soft his ears were, how it was funny that he would attack the hand broom, how he would nuzzle your hand while you held him. Kailey went to sleep with fond memories of Hoppy in her dreams, even as her tears dried on her cheeks.
Hoppy had a long and happy life, and there's no tragedy in dying peacefully at the end of such a good run. With death comes sadness and loss, but also the realization that it's part of a very natural cycle, one in which we ourselves will someday participate. By offering to the children a true, brief, and compassionate story of Hoppy's death, we laid the groundwork for a healthier attitude to death: what happens to the one who died, but also what it means for the living who remain.
Quote me on this...
Montessori Northwest's students look to the texts of Dr. Maria Montessori for inspiration and guidance when working with children.
Here we see an exercise in which Primary students read passages from Montessori, then consolidate their meanings into more contemporary language--Creating some beautiful temporary original artwork for our walls. Do you have any Montessori quotes hanging on your walls?
Thoughts on History, Heritage, & Culture Workshop
Having left the Primary environment several months ago to join the Montessori Northwest Administration, it was like a homecoming with "my people" to participate in the second session of Ginni Sackett's Primary Workshop Series: History, Heritage, Culture. The joy of working with children and families came rushing back to me as our community of colleagues approached the realities of engaging children from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds in neutral, fun, experiential activities.
Complementing nuggets of lecture, we flipped roles to play like children. When free of discrimination, prejudice, and stereotype, children can come to embrace the universal similarities that thread across our species! Similarly, from movement to story and the artifacts within an environment, the adult is privileged - forced - to undergo a self-analysis that ensures they are practicing the preaching. After all, anything less would be disingenuous.
In short, as Montessorians girding humanity's future through the vehicle of these young children, there is a relief in knowing our work is inherently designed to foster utopian results.
Register for the final workshop in the History, Heritage, and Culture series, taking place on November 20th, here.

Is Rusty Water Safe to Drink?
I left for vacation and when I returned, the water coming out of my faucets was brown when it first came out of the pipe. While the water eventually became "clear" for the most part, My Brita water filter did not totally remove all the rust, and the water in the pitcher has been a bit cloudy.
Curious as to whether this water was safe to drink or not, I searched online and found the answer. Is rusty water safe to drink? The short answer is yes, unless you have an extremely rare condition where iron accumulates in the body organs.

Any confusion about what capers are? You're probably more confused when you're offered caper berries or (in Italian) cucunci? Here is ever more charming Gabriele Lasagni, from Pantelleria Island, to shed some light on the issue.
After having told us why his Pantelleria capers are the best (watch the previous video, if, God Forbid, you missed it), Gabriele explains that capers are the buds, the little things which appear before the flowers while the caper berries (Cucunci) are the fruits of the caper plant. So, if you don't pick the capers, they will become flowers, which in turn, will become caper berries. Cucunci have an oblong shape and are bigger that the capers.
You eat them in salads, as an accompaniement to cold cuts and cheeses, or with your favorite pre dinner drink [they are perfect with your Martini]. Watch the video below (click the arrow) and learn about this fantastic product!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
You can't exactly blame them for posting about them, Muffin. Hunters and Pallies are the classes that have had the most notable changes so far in the latest patch. Ret Pallies are killing things a whole lot now and becoming hugely popular throughout WoW, while Hunters got new pets with new talents that require a different approach to master. What was a good pet last week isn't as good this week [Cat] and what wasn't a good pet is so popular now. [Gorilladin]
You can't blame WI for posting more about them in the first week or so. If they keep posting them, then sure, that'd be a problem...
And no, there is no logic in complaining about too many Hunter topics in a Hunter column. All he's done the past few days was post in Hunter topics complaining about it. It's not helping at all.=/
And yes, even though my main is a Hunter, I wouldn't want this place to be Hunter central. I got BRK to read for that and such. But I'm not going to complain when another class gets more topics later on. Especially not in their own column.

[video] Quick Take: Twitter Steals Apple's Thunder
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Doug Kass, a RealMoney contributor and president of Seabreeze Partners, is bullish on the Twitter IPO, he told TheStreet's Debra Borchardt.
Twitter is expected go public sometime in the first half of November. Kass said right now it is taking the spotlight from the product launches of other companies, most notably Apple (AAPL).
Kass said Twitter has a huge "runway" of upside potential because it has monopolistic traits and no real competitors. This is evident by its top-line growth, which recently grew over 100% and is expected to remain elevated for quite some time.
While Facebook (FB) recently generated 50% growth in sales, Kass suggested it will fall to 30% in a few years whereas Twitter's will only fall to roughly 75%.Regarding the initial public offering, Kass is willing to be a buyer up until $32.50, his cutoff point. The stock could double within its first month of trading, he added.
Unlike the Facebook IPO, which was huge compared to Twitter's planned IPO, Twitter only plans to offer a "sliver" of its holding to the public, which should result in a valuation of roughly $12 billion to $12.5 billion, Kass said. He concluded the stock isn't just a fad or a fly-by-night service. In other words, Twitter is here to stay. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

Unlike other "me too"'s, Peter Thiel often throws controversial thoughts about tech.This is probably one of my favourite videos on the web.
Product Manager, Founder of ProductDigest.co, Founded Copenhagen's Product Meetup & other random stuff...
A new trend emerged during the last couple of weeks when Facebook launched their Messenger app. By unbundling messaging into a new, independent native app Facebook effectively blocked you from using messaging as before unless you install this new app. Soon after Foursquare also announced Swarn, a new app that splits the Foursquare experience in two by separating the discovery of places from the "friend" experience.
This is, in my opinion a pivotal point in mobile app ecosystems.
Single purpose apps are mobile apps that focus on solving only one very specific user need. As a contrast, fat apps try to provide all the features of one concept inside one single native app.
Single purpose apps aren't new. Instragram does it. Yahoo! took a deep breath away from nothingness with their awesome weather app. Google recently also decided to split the Sheets app from Google Drive on iPad.
Why is this happening? Mobile domination is a war happening on multiple fronts:
Limited attention span
You're likely to spent 2 hours and 19 minutes per day on your phone if you're an average mobile user and native apps are gaining momentum 86% of the mobile experience against an ever diminishing Mobile Web experience). Growth at scale is only possible when a certain company owns a substantial amount of the time you spent on your mobile.
A precious real estate
Notifications push for engagement. Facebook knows that's easier to notify you when they own your home screen as well, overlaying it with what's effectively a pop-up reminding you about a new incoming message.
You will only use one app per category
People don't use multiple apps to check their email. The same happens across other categories. When Foursquare goes for a fight against Yelp, they know they need to become the app of choice on the location discovery and rating space. Having those features buried in a fat Foursquare experience doesn't help.
Messaging is more than just text and Facebooks knows that. Messaging competes with Email, Skype, Snapchat, etc.. To own your digital communication needs they really need to go head-first against those guys. A new app allows them to have the focus required to integrate and push multiple types of communication toward their user-base.
SEO now happens on the app store
Roelof Botha recently mentioned how Evernote struggles to be recognized for what they do on app stores. While "document scanning" is a core feature, they are not a top result when a user specifically searches for it. By breaking down apps into verticals (like Cooking) and/or user needs (like scanning) Evernote is able to fight for the top ranking under certain keywords.
Growing as a company is hard
Foursquare may also be having trouble on an organizational level. Scaling product teams is hard. Breaking them down into functional areas is usually an option but soon they start fighting for resources and relevancy within the app's user experience. Foursquare effectively spin-off a part of the organization by creating another app while maintaining organizational synergies like server operations shared across both.
Pivot in style
We may find out sooner or later that Foursquare effectively pivoted. When companies get too big to fail because they raised too much money (Foursquare raised $162M+) acquisitions by others stop making sense. Their best option becomes pivoting but that takes time and they can't afford hard choices that'd lose their current audience. I believe Foursquare is trying to own a new category so they can later divest of it legacy, if needed.
What does this means for you? If you build products, you'll see that small startups have a hard time playing this game but you may study your space closely to find interesting niches. For instance, Danish-based Everplaces also builds apps for businesses, effectively expanding their reach into new geographies while self-funding their operations.
Larger companies are clearly aware that they need to own every single minute of your time on mobile so small startups can only play against that by radically out-innovating.
— Steve McQueen

THURSDAY, Aug. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Birth control pills are
equally effective in obese and thinner women, claims a study that
challenges the belief that oral contraceptives may not reliably
prevent pregnancy in heavier women.
The study included 226 women, aged 18 to 35, who were normal
weight or overweight. They were randomly assigned to take either a
lower- or higher-dose version of a birth control pill.
After three or four months of using the pill (the time it takes
for a woman's body to get used to the contraceptive), the women
were checked to see if the pill was suppressing ovulation.
Of the 150 women who used the pill consistently, ovulation
occurred in three of the 96 normal-weight women and in one of the
54 obese women. Women who were not consistent about taking the pill
were more likely to ovulate, said the researchers at the New
York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
"Our findings strengthen the message to patients that the pill will only work if it is taken every day. Weight does not seem to have an impact on suppression of ovulation, but consistency of pill-taking does," principal investigator Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology and director of the family planning division at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, said in a medical center news release.
The researchers also found that the lower-dose oral
contraceptive was as effective as the higher-dose type in
suppressing ovulation in obese women. This is an important finding
because it was previously thought that obese women might need the
higher-dose version. However, obese women are at increased risk for
developing blood clots from taking birth control pills, and
higher-dose pills increase that risk.
"Knowing that the lower dose works as well as the higher dose will allow physicians to not only help women with obesity avoid unwanted pregnancies, but also protect them from the possible health risks associated with higher doses," said Westhoff, who is also an obstetrician/gynecologist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
"For a woman to fear relying on her oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy is a huge burden. This study should put those fears to rest," Westhoff said.
The study appears in the August issue of
Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Littleton apartment complex asked to curb crime
Brien Ward, an attorney and former deputy prosecutor in Grafton County, met with selectmen in December and called for them to look into closing Parker Village and its 50 apartments, and relocating its 125 residents, including 65 children.
Another selectmen's meeting last month had to be moved to the Littleton Opera House when some 75 people showed up, many of them residents of the development just north of downtown on Route 116. They objected to Ward's call to have Parker Village declared a public nuisance.
After hearing both sides and studying the matter, the board has decided on measures that fall well short of a major relocation and closing the apartments.
"(The) Board believes that relocating the 50 families is an unnecessary response to what appears to be a somewhat elevated level of calls for police assistance over other multifamily housing communities in town," board members wrote to Ward.
The selectboard members - Chairman Michael Gilman, Marghie Seymour and Milt Bratz - said Town Manager Fred Moody and Police Chief Paul Smith have come up with a plan to boost communication between police and project administrators, including on-site manager Pauline DiNatale. There is also a plan to have the police department prepare weekly incident reports for Parker Village and a quarterly report that lists calls for service there.
"If multiple calls for service/incidents or arrests emanate from any one apartment or individual, the police department will contact the on-site manager so that corrective action can be taken," the selectmen wrote.
Parker's Village's "management team will exhibit due diligence in screening applicants (for housing), including criminal records checks," the selectmen said in their letter.
The development's managers will also be expected to consider erecting a barrier or fence between Parker's Village property and abutting residential properties and consider installing exterior video cameras in common areas open to the public.
"Parker's Village management team will in consultation with the Littleton Police Department, establish the following: A Neighborhood Watch Program, and designating the neighborhood (and other high occupancy multi-family developments) a Drug Free Zone in accordance with a proposed new ordinance," board members said in their letter
"While the Town recognizes these achievements may not entirely eliminate future calls for service by the Littleton Police Department, the department will, in conjunction with the Parker's Village Management Team, regularly evaluate these proactive measures and determine whether additional mitigation efforts are needed to maintain a safe and secure neighborhood for all Parker's Village residents and visitors," board members concluded.
The board said it would evaluate the results in six months, and again in a year.
Ward, who at the January public meeting noted that he did not repeat his call for closing the development, said he is satisfied with the town's plan, and is willing to see how it turns out.
DiNatale, the on-site manager, said Sunday she was relieved that the property would not be closed, and now considers Ward's complaint a "wake-up call" for tenants and administrators, including Paul Stewart.
Stewart's Bedford-based firm, Stewart Property Management, oversees the housing development. "Paul Stewart felt comfortable with it," DiNatale said of the proposal.
"The residents have to understand that their actions affect others, including other residents. Overall, this is good," she said.

I don't think gay marriage opposers get how things work. If your religion says you can't watch Dr. Who on Sunday, that doesn't mean you try to outlaw watching Dr. Who on Sunday. It means that YOU cannot watch Dr. Who on Sunday. I can watch all the Dr. Who I damn well please. If your religion is against gay marriage, that doesn't mean you outlaw it. It means YOU cannot marry someone of the same gender. Basically, don't force your beliefs on others.

The Buckhorn Inn
If only these walls could talk... Just stepping inside the 200 year old stage coach stop sets your imagination racing back, wondering about all the goings on that have taken place through the strands of time. The Yoder family is proud to be stewards of the legendary Buckhorn Inn. Our family continues its long and glorious history.

The Buckhorn is the real deal. Feel the presence of this historic inn and plan your next gathering here. We feel certain that you too will be captivated by this Virginia landmark. If you are planning a wedding, family reunion, or business meeting it is an excellent place to host your event.
The Buckhorn Inn has been a landmark since 1811. Back then it was called the Dudley House. In 1854, Professor Thomas Jackson (before he was dubbed Stonewall)and his wife stopped off here on their way to Hot Springs VA. In 1862, after the Civil War Battle of McDowell, many of the wounded were cared for in the Buckhorn. When the Buckhorn was a way station on the stagecoach route it was renowned as a hot spot for high class gambling. Healthy fresh mountian air and famous spas in Warm and Hot Springs attracted travelers from big cities and coastal areas.
It remains as an excellent layover to travelers to Monterey, Bath County, and also Snowshoe, West Virginia.
We are quite accessible to James Madison University (40 minutes from Harrisonburg), Mary Balwdwin (20 minutes from Staunton), Virginia Military Institute (45 miles), University of Virginia (Charlottesville 1 hour).
All accommodations in the Buckhorn Inn are comfortable and have separate bathroom facilities. The rates are per night for double occupancy. You can relax in the ambiance of history, and surf the internet or watch your satellite TV all at the same time. A full country breakfast is included with your room, and we only have one rule...you can't leave hungry.
Check-in time is after 4:00 p.m. Check-out time is 11:00 a.m.
We are your home away from home when you need that break from your life. When you and your spouce want that special get-a-way. When the ladies want to have a girlfriend get-a-way. When the whole family needs a simple vacation.

Vario Manholes
The Vario manhole is an excellent multi-purpose solution when you require a different size or shape to the standard Kijlstra manhole.
For example:
- Sewer and storm water pumping stations
- Internal and external overflow manholes
- Cellars
- Holding tanks
- Hydro brake manholes
Shapes and sizes:
Generally, the design of the structure can be to whatever size is required, the only limitations being dictated by transport and site itself. It is possible to connect the sections on site for a final structure that exceeds the size restrictions imposed by transportation.
Most types of pipe connections and flow control devices can be included in the design.
Engineering and calculations:
Kijlstra's engineering team will produce designs and calculations based on drawings supplied. They will also attend site to assist with technical matters and installation during the construction period.

The University of Central Oklahoma's Theatre Arts Department will present "Happy Anniversary Angel! Love Gino," an interactive comedic theatre performance, at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 16 - 18 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church located in Edmond.
The production, written by Jay D. Spencer, Cheryl D. Smith and Stefanie R. Coletti, is designed to include audience participation and follows the style and theme of the highly acclaimed off-Broadway show "Tony and Tina's Wedding," which ran 22 consecutive years after opening in 1985.
The audience will participate in a vow renewal service celebrating the fifth wedding anniversary of Gino and Angel, the lead characters in the show. Audience members can also enjoy food catered by Old Chicago restaurant and to participate in dancing following the show.
Hayley Thompson, Central faculty member and director of the production, describes the play as challenging and an opportunity for Central students to learn a different sort of theatrical performance.
"This play challenges our students' improvisational abilities in a way that they've never been challenged before and they are doing a phenomenal job. The actors have completely embraced their characters and will make sure the audience has a great night," Thompson said.
"Happy Anniversary Angel! Love Gino" has been a unique transformative learning experience for Central students involved in the production.
"This play has challenged me to approach my character differently. Since the play only has one hour of written script, I, as the actor, will improvise with the audience for the other two hours, making it essential that I know my character's life story and how he handles himself in every situation, not just the ones written for me," said Lars Ostrem, student actor in the show.
Additionally, Kaitlin Burton, the student who plays "Angel" said being in an improvisation-based show has brought the entire cast together.
"It has really helped me grow as an actress and has made the entire cast come together and work as a team. It's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I'm so glad I got to go through it with such a great group of people," said Burton.
Tickets to the show are $26 for adults, $22 for senior citizens, $22 for Central faculty and staff members and $16 for students. To purchase tickets, call (405) 216-2585.
