Foo Fighters Rumored to Record New Album in Multiple Locations
By Chris Atticus | Thursday, January 23, 2014
Music News provided by Pulse
With Foo Fighters' eighth studio album now underway, there's been plenty of speculation about how the disc is being created ever since frontman Dave Grohl hinted that it was happening in a way that "no one's ever done before." According to Loudwire, the latest rumor is that each song is being recorded in a different famous recording studio. The source of the rumor, a Twitter account named FooArchive, has posted an item from Billboard suggesting that Grohl has scouted iconic studios in 12 different cities.
It seems likely that wherever they go, the band will record in analog instead of digital, since Grohl told us that he prefers the former: "Definitely recording with analog 24-track equipment, you get a lot more personality and imperfection. Digital recording, you have the option to make things perfect and you can manipulate them and sometimes you just suck the human element out of it. But with tape, once you hit 'record,' it really is what it is."
- At least four studios in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Seattle are tagged as "definite" place where the band will set up shop, with the band members all recently spotted in the Windy City.
- It's not uncommon for a musical act to record in one or two different locales while making a project, but the concept of recording in 12 different studios is something that may not have ever been attempted before.
- Wasting Light, the band's last record, was recorded in Grohl's Los Angeles garage. He has also recorded in his basement studio at his home in Virginia.
- His Los Angeles studio now houses the legendary Neve recording console that was formerly located at Sound City, the now-defunct Los Angeles studio that was the subject of Grohl's 2013 documentary of the same name.
- The new Foo Fighters album is due out later this year, possibly by the summer.
Foo Fighters posted this image on their Instagram page earlier this week.

I did contact MAC and they wanted me to tell them the individual products and would then inform me product ingredients.... I thought there might be an ethos the spread across the range like its **% natural baked naturals or just explain what defines this range at mineral over the other products because as you said most make up contain some minerals....
Any MAC trained make up artists on here who can clear this up??

According to Alabama Public Radio, the reason the national weekly radio program "Science Friday" was not part of their network programming this Friday, July 11th, was due to their decision to have it removed from their regular programming plans by then (it was replaced by the national radio program "Performance Today" since they usually had it in the same time period as "Science Friday" from Monday through Thursday) due to the price to broadcast it being higher than it was when it was provided to them by National Public Radio (NPR) until this past January, when Public Radio International (PRI) started providing it.
Folks in the broadcast areas of Alabama Public Radio's network stations (including WHIL-FM in Mobile) may still access live broadcasts of "Science Friday" in spite of Alabama Public Radio's decision by visiting the official World Wide Web site for "Science Friday" on Fridays between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. (specifically its front page). In case they miss a broadcast, they may access recordings of its segments through the same site (through its "Listen" section).
(amendment note: the information about "Performance Today" was added to the article)
All Examiner.com articles about television and radio in Mobile, Alabama by the author are available in the Mobile TV Examiner section and the Mobile Radio Examiner section respectively.

125- www. energy- future. com 7.1- The World Petroleum Council Janeiro. Practical help was provided by 250 volunteers who painted a public school and collected 36 tonnes of rubbish in a special community effort, donating all proceeds to some of the poorest inhabitants of Rio. The surplus funds of the Congress were used to set up the WPC Educational Fund in Brazil, which was further increased in 2005 with tax initiatives added by the government. The 18th World Petroleum Congress also chose a sustainability focus for the first WPC held in Africa. Besides providing skills development and practical training for un-employed youths in its unique Volunteers programme, the South African National Committee set up the 18th WPC Educational Legacy Trust to provide financial assistance to young South Africans wishing to pursue a qualification in petroleum studies. In 2008 the Spanish organisers of the 19th Congress in Madrid were the first to achieve a carbon neutral event by addressing the car-bon footprint of each delegate attending the event and neutralising its impact for the com-ing generations. Young people were the main benefactors of a number of legacy projects created by the surplus from the event. Qatar, Host for the 20th World Petroleum Congress in 2011, is already considering the long term legacy they wish to leave through the first Congress to be held in the Middle East, with education likely to be playing a key role in the allocation of surplus funds. WPC Structure The Council is the governing body of the World Petroleum Council which convenes once a year. Its global membership elects the President and an Executive Committee every three years to develop and execute its strategy. The Council also selects the host country for the next World Petroleum Congress from the candidate countries. To ensure the scientific and topical quality of the event the Council elects a Congress Programme Committee whose members are responsible for developing the high- level content for its Congress Programme. The Secretariat of the World Petroleum Council is based in London, led by the Director General and his dedicated team. WPC Youth Attracting young people to the oil and gas industry, keeping them involved and engaging them directly in WPC activities is a key strate-gic issue for the WPC. In response, WPC initi-ated a number of activities to engage youth in the industry and enhance their involvement in setting WPC's agenda for the future. The process began with the 1st Youth Forum in Beijing in 2004 where the WPC invited young people to address the future challenges for the petroleum industry. Held under the theme " Youth and Innovation - the Future of the Petroleum Industry" the Forum was an overwhelming success and won widespread acclaim from its partici-pants. The authors of the best papers were invited to the 18th World Petroleum Congress in Johannesburg the following year. Key Strategic Areas 1 World Class Congress A quality, premier world class oil and gas congress 2 National Committees Attracting and retaining National Committees and building stronger links 3 Youth and gender engagement Attraction and retention of young people and women in the oil and gas industry 4 Inter Congress Activities To organise workshops/ meetings and other activities on specific topics of relevance to WPC members 5 Outreach to other stakeholders Add value through the WPC by cooperation with other organisations 6 Communication To increase awareness, internally and ex-ternally of WPCs activities
126- www. world- petroleum. org 7.1- The World Petroleum Council To continue the dialogue and to enhance the involvement of young people in its agenda, the WPC established a Youth Committee in 2006. The 17 young people under 35 from WPC member countries act as ambassadors for the next generation, provide a young peo-ple's perspective for the Council's work and help put in place strategies to engage youth around the world in the petroleum industry. Their mission is to promote a realistic im-age of the petroleum industry amongst the youth together with its challenges and oppor-tunities and initiate the creation of a collabo-rative and global forum for young people to be heard and new ideas to be championed. The Committee's first task was to create a series of activities for the Youth Programme of the 19th World Petroleum Congress. The new Youth Committee was elected during the 2008 Council meeting and play a major role in planning for the 20th World Petroleum Congress taking place in Qatar in 2011. They also play a key role in the or-ganisation of the 2nd WPC Youth Forum un-der the theme of " Energise Your Future", in Paris, France, November 18- 20, 2009. Members of the WPC Youth Committee contributed to the programme development and the concept of an online youth network " Energise My Network", which will provide an ongoing networking opportunity for young people interested in the petroleum industry. The members of the Youth Committee continue working with each other and the Council's bodies to engage with students and young professionals to design a sus-tainable future and promote their message that the energy sector is a challenging and exciting industry to work for. ?? Member Countries Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Kuwait, Libya, Macedonia, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uruguay United States of America, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

It amazes me how many times they can re-hash the same basic layout and prices from £15,645? Wow, what a bargain,............not! Even keen Harley owners must be getting confused with all the different variations. Simply putting different bars, wheels, paint jobs exhausts etc, does not make a new bike! IMO.

Mostly in line four cyclinder.
Liquid cooled.
Chain driven.
All 1000 or 600 cc.
All same layout mostly since the 1970's.
All within .3 of a second of each other on a track. All around £12000
Then there is the BMW - in line 4, liquid cooled, chain. Doh! £16000
All lose value far quicker than Harley.
All cant go over 70 legally.
None despite all the mod cons do as much as a car in miles per gallon.
So obviously they have moved on so far ahead?

Parallel twin, all torque, storage area where the "tank" is, you'd have to lose £10K off of a Breakout before it even gets to the price of the Honda, does 88mpg.
If you want to bang on about Japanese sportsbikes, go ahead, but by and large they're loved more by designers and marketeers than actual purchasers these days.

"Health care allows me to keep living my life."
Name: Lindsey
Occupation: Social services, Paraolympian
Why is having health care important to you?
If I didn't have access to health care I couldn't imagine what my life would be like. The health care technology we have today is a blessing. The idea that we're not sharing that with as many people as possible is crazy to me.
How did it feel to learn about the new health care options available to you?
It made me feel relieved and a little bit more in control.

My fourth grader's regular classroom teacher doesn't believe in homework on the weekend. She says the kids work hard enough during the week and should enjoy their two days off. However, my child's gifted teacher who instructs her in math and language arts does believe in homework over the weekend.
So last weekend my child did three pages of math, wrote the final draft of a paper, finished reading the last of several assigned chapters in a book and answered a page of questions about what she had read and then read several chapters from another book that they will eventually use for a project. She spent about four hours on Saturday and about an hour and a half on Sunday doing work.
It felt like a lot of homework for a 9-year-old, especially for a weekend. You can't exactly take a weekend trip with that kind of work hanging over your head.
I will say that this week's homework has seemed lighter. I'm not sure if it's because we did so much over the weekend and are actually ahead of schedule or if she realized it was a lot so backed off some.
Am I crazy or was that a lot of homework? Should teachers assign homework for the weekend? If so how much is acceptable in which grades?
Ancillary question: Is 9 too young to read "To Kill A Mockingbird?" Rose has been reading Newbery books for literature study at school. One of the books she is working on is "Ginger Pye" by Eleanor Estes. Estes was not an author with whom I was familiar but her brother and sister characters remind me a lot of Jem and Scout from "To Kill A Mockingbird." I think Rose would enjoy the relationship of Jem and Scout and would handle the racism plotline pretty well. But I am worried about introducing her to the concept of rape, which is what the black man Tom Robinson is accused of in the book. So I'm thinking I should wait even though I think she would enjoy the writing style and like the relationships of the characters. What do you think? What's a good age for "To Kill a Mockingbird?"

That seems like a lot of weekend homework for 4th grade. I can understand having to work on a project or maybe study for an upcoming test on the weekend but not math worksheets and reading responses. My daughter is in 3rd grade and in gifted at another GCPS and the only weekend homework she has had so far has been a project on habitats.
As for "To Kill A Mockingbird," I would probably hold off on reading that until middle school – maybe 6th or 7th grade – for the reason you mention.

Re: "To Kill a Mockingbird" is covered in the eighth grade language arts classes at the middle school where I teach. Speaking as the parent of a relatively mature nine year old myself, I would hold off a bit. Nine seems a bit young to deal with mature themes such as rape.

I agree with Mary. Hold off a bit on TKAM.
I teach middle school, and we are instructed by our administration NOT to give homework over the weekend. Long-term projects and studying for tests are OK, but not homework. I support this fully. However, I do remember doing homework on Sunday evenings when I was in school, and it didn't interfere with anything I did over the weekend—-Sunday night was a school night without any of the other distractions like Scout meetings, sports practice, or music lessons. I really don't see the big deal with kids doing 45 minutes to an hour of homework on Sunday evening. There are still two nights off from homework on Friday and Saturday.
I would also like to point out that gifted students often choose to do work at home that they have not been asked by the teacher to do. My students are gifted, and I sometimes have to ask them NOT to do work at home or read ahead. If I ask for 10, they give me 50! Is the teacher really requiring this, or does your child put this on herself?

My 4th grader has so much homework that we are now having her do her entire week's worth of spelling homework over the weekend just to try to lighten the load during the week. Now thinking of adding her vocabulary too. The volume of homework is a pet peeve of mine right now. Don't get home until 4 . . . would really like to head into to brush teeth and go to bed by 7:30 to allow decent time for reading together before bed. That only leave 3 1/2 hours to include homework, dinner, shower, etc. I swear the kid's head is going to pop off if we keep up at this pace. Granted, the homework must be taking her longer to do than the average bear . . . . but she's working her butt off! Kids need time to blow off steam, get some physical activity and play!

That seems like a lot to me, too, Theresa.
Parents who are concerned about homeowrk loads: Go talk to your child's teacher. See if what you are seeing for homework actually IS homework, or unfinished classwork. See if your child is working much more slowly than others. You need (as does the teacher) some feedback on why this seems to be so much!

…yet we continue to complain about GA lacking the rest of the nation in school test scores, so there seems to be some sort of disconnect in this topic and the test score concerns. Personally, I see nothing wrong with weekend homework, though 5.5 hours seems like a lot – I do not know your daughter or her abilities at working either slowly and diligently vs diligently and getting the stuff done in a more timely manner. She is in the "gifted" class for math, and this type of teaching by pushing the children is what is expected for this class.
Also, I find it interesting that this is the topic for this blog today, and the current topic on the "Get Schooled" blog is about "When kids complain" – seems apropo that we have the Mom complaining…

Right now we live in the UK and whenever the younger kids don't get homework (even over the weekends and holidays) we give them some. Over the summer break we gave them spelling, reading and they finished a math workbook. They do get breaks and have fun. Our youngest son plays soccer (football) on a team and we will be putting our eldest daughter in dance classes. But I do think that we have learned from raising our eldest child (a boy) who is now a teen. When he was younger we never pushed him and now he thinks that because he doesn't have to study to get good grades that there isn't a reason for him to try harder. He is in the top sets (his classes are divided up by ability or sets) for maths and science and most of his other subjects (in art he was singled out as the best in his year) and we have to really nag to get him to even open a book much less study . Homework when it is done is always at the last minute or in 10 minute bursts (per day, not per subject). We are always striving to find the correct balance between challenging and stretching their minds and letting them have fun. I do think that 5 ½ hours of work is a little too much for a weekend but I would have no problems with between 2 – 4 hours as we usually start their weekend homework on Friday after school and try to divide it up equally between the days.
BTW, I personally think my 9 year old son is too young for "To Kill A Mockingbird".

I also homeschool, but we did go to public school for several years. Weekends are family time and they shouldn't have any homework on weekends. Even if Sunday night is a "school night", you would have to cut weekend activities short in order to make it a school night. What if you are traveling, what if the kids go to church on Sunday night. If the kids can't learn something in 6.5 hours a day at school and then doing 2-3 hours of homework 4 nights a week, something is wrong with the school.

I am not a fan of loads of homework and never gave it on the weekends in 2nd grade BUT that was over 20 years ago. Wait until you see the homework they have in HS and college.
Last year, my son studied 15 hours for a Pharmacy test…one test. He lived at home and was up all night. He has moved closer to school now, as he will need to study more each year and did not want to waste time in traffic plus wanted his own indepenence and I understand!
DB…have you seen him lately. Let me know. I have not seen home in four weeks this weekened…LOL…he has been out to the house but I have been in hotels!
Children IMHO do need to work up to homework or they will have NO idea what to do when they are faced with it later.

My son is in Middle School gifted classes and the homework load is much lighter than in Elementary. He does have math homework everyday but it is only one sheet. They do that so the class does not get behind. We will see how this approach works when progress reports come out.
September 23rd, 2010
8:25 am
That's entirely too much homework and I would address it with her teacher. I don't care if it is a class for gifted students, she's 9. I don't have a problem with homework being given over the weekend as long as it doesn't involve a project that takes hours to complete. If it's a worksheet or something similar, I'm totatlly okay with it. I hate when teachers give too much homework. I recall my son's kindergarten teacher giving 75 words to write 3 times for homework in addition to a worksheet. He never did it and I complained about it. She agreed and appreciated it being brought to her attention (she was a 1st year teacher).
To Kill A Mocking Bird is inappropriate at this age and should be held off until 7th or 8th grade.

Parents don't want the kids to have too much (if any) homework during the week, and then don't want homework on the weekends. That really just amazes me.
My oldest has done both public and private schools, where he is currently in a public middle school. At the private school, it was almost regular where there was a lot of homework during the week and homework on the weekends. When he first started there, I was surprised and did some complaining. But, then we adjusted, and it just became a part of our regular routine. Even doing the weekend homework. No matter where we were or what we were doing, it was always done before Monday. Now, in the public school, there are many days that I have to give him things to do for homework (and this is GCPS). My kindergartener, who is in a charter school, too many times has more homework than my middle schooler. And, yes, I do check the homework website to make sure that my oldest is telling the truth about not having homework. This is definitely not at all what I expected.

My 4th grader actually receives a homework packet on Monday that's due the following Monday. While it's not required that anything be done on weekends, it usually works out that some of it would have to done on Sat or Sun simply because there is A LOT of it! And while I try very hard not to overschedule my child, between flag football and scouts, there simply isn't very much time sometimes on week nights.
It bugs me really because I consider weekends family time, relax time, plus various activities we have to attend. So more often than not, it turns out to be Sun nights. Ugh.

8:50 am
For whatever reason I think my son had the most homework in 3rd, 7th & 8th grade. He's now in high school and although he might have a little bit in each subject, it's not overbearing like it was in 7th & 8th. Now that he's in high school the teachers are structured more so like college where there is less busy work and more emphasis is placed on tests (and therefore studying). My son has definitely struggled with studying in the sense that there isn't something to just complete. For history class I've had to make him just do the questions at the end of the chapter otherwise he just sits there and wastes time.
5 hours is too much on the weekend unless 4 of that was reading. I was a big reader and even if I didn't have to finish a book for 3 weeks, I would end up reading the entire book as soon as I got it. Not because I felt like the teacher wanted me to but rather because I don't like to read multiple books at one time and would rather get the required out of the way so I could read what I wanted.
What I don't like are projects that aren't broken into pieces. If a project for a student is supposed to take 6 weeks, then require drafts, updates, whatever to be checked weekly so that a student (and parent) aren't forced to spend 1 entire weekend working on just that project. Most students aren't good time managers and do very little work until the deadline is looming. By requiring small chunks to be turned in weekly, you're helping the child learn how to prioritize their work and free time without making it a burden on the entire family.I know someone is going to say that the kid just needs to learn to do that but let's be realistic here and know that simply doesn't happen for most kids.

I have a 6th grader this year and what a rough couple of weeks,He is in 4 out of 5 AC classes.Everyday we(I) check 7 teachers blogs and write down assignments and homework.If something is not finished in class it is then added to the homework pile.It takes about 45 minutes to check/find all work and then HOURS of homework…
I am a high school teacher and do NOT give any homework.I would much rather have students ask me for help than a parent that has not seen the material in 20 years (like me)

I didn't have a ton of homework assigned in college so actually @momoftwo is more like college teachers than many high school teachers who do assign homework. The final grade for most college courses I took were based on tests and projects only.

Absolutely NOT. The weekends are family time. School takes up so much time during the week, with 2 – 3 hours of homework per night.
I still believe homework is work that was not finished during school. These kids are burdened with so much homework durng the week there's no "family" time anymore. With kids in multiple sports and after school activities, dinner on the run, homework, baths & bed, you are exhausted by 8:00 at night.
I say NO to homework on the weekends. I say NO to homework of more than 30 minutes every night.
September 23rd, 2010
9:23 am
No, it just doesn't take me 55 minutes to teach each subject. With only 2 kids to teach, I get through the material so much more quickly. If they don't understand something, then we spend more time on it; if they understand it, we can move on. And believe me, they have plenty of assignments that keep them busy. We just don't have weekend homework! Ok, I have to get back to teaching the kids. Have a good day everybody!
September 23rd, 2010
9:58 am
Just curious, what's the real value of the homework people are seeing? How many of you who think kids have too much homework feel some of the assignments lack substance? Are you finding that kids are working on really reinforcing what they've learned and building skills, or do you feel much of what they have is busy work? Are elementary students working on good projects or building 6 diaramas each year (I really can see the value of home craft projects — learning to plan, construct, etc — but it seems like one or two a year would be enough of that sort of thing). If you think there should be less, what specifically do you think should be cut? Should some homework be optional? Could half of a night's math problems be required and half optional, so kids who have the unit down pat can move on and others can get it a little more practice? Is there a more efficient way of helping kids learn than having them do schoolwork more than 8 hours per day (especially the younger ones)?

Fortunately for my son, his school seems to have a "no-homework on weekends" policy. Of course, he's only in the 2nd grade, so obviously, things may change. I will say, over 5 hours of homework on the weekend seems like a lot, but then I'm sure I probably had at least that much many weekends back when I was in school.
As for letting a 9 year old read "To Kill a Mockingbird," don't be too quick to dismiss the idea. Although I was never the best student in world, one subject which I always excelled was reading. If your daughter is anything like I was, books that are intended for her age group are probably not going to be challenging enough to keep her interested. I found that a lot of kids who were advanced readers lost their love of reading around this age because teachers and parents insisted that they only read books appropriate for their age group which seemed stupid and boring to them. The only thing that saved me was that my mother allowed me to read adult books when I was still in elementary school. I admit, most 9 year olds are probably not ready for "To Kill a Mockingbird," but I was not much older the first time I read it (10 or 11) and I really enjoyed it for the same reasons you mentioned. I was too young to fully understand the concept of rape, but that's only referred to obliquely, the book is not explicit.

@momoftwo – why are -you- checking the teacher's blogs? I still am amazed (and my sons are in high school) how many of their classmates' parents monitor homework daily. If the boys can't manage on their own now, what are they going to do in college?!?!?
September 23rd, 2010
11:24 am
@usually lurking – I look because I'd rather bust him at 9pm when he still has a chance to get the work done (even if it means staying up late or getting up early because he "forgot his book" or whatever the excuse is that day) than wait for the failing grade that's going to drop his GPA. Unfortunately there's a catch 22 in allowing your child to fail and the fact that GPAs don't start over and I do want him to get into college.
That being said, his school has a website setup such that it takes all of about 3 minutes to see what's for homework and when the tests are so I'm not spending 45 mins like the other parent reading a teacher's blog.

It's interesting, but in TKAM, the way "rape" is described is pretty dry: When 9 year old Scout asks Calpurnia what it is, Calpurnia basically says, "Ask your father", and Atticus takes refuge in a dry legal definition of "taking carnal knowledge". I loved Scout's dismissive reaction — "Oh, is that all . . . " In the trial, the rape is not described in detail, but more along the lines of Mayella getting beat up.
You can judge her readiness best, T, but I find that kids tend to read what they comprehend, and skim over stuff they don't comprehend. There's even a pretty trenchant observation by the judge during the trial, when they are whispering whether the children should be there: "People tend to see what they want to see, and hear what they expect to hear . . " If you think she could handle the race relations aspect of it, I'd probably let her read it, and be ready to discuss it. If she's 9 and in a gifted program, I suspect she probably has heard the term "rape" before.
When my son was in 4th grade, his reading teacher gave him "The Giver." I asked her if she didn't think it was a little too "out there" for a 9/10 year old (the part where his father kills the twin, and when he realizes that the old people are being euthanized), and she said, "For most kids, yes — but I think he'll do fine, and I knew you'd be able to explain anything about it he didn't understand."
I remember the first time I read "Rosemary's Baby" — I was 8, and didn't have a clue what the heck was going on, but the story was deliciously scary – I didn't make the connection between Rosemary's demonic encounter and the baby. It was only when I re-read it when I was 13, I realized, "omigoodness!"
And to the topic — yeah, that was a BOATLOAD of homework for an elementary school kid. Hopefully, the teacher will adjust a bit.

as for homework, unless it was studying for a test or writing a paper, my kids homework was always what wasnt finished in class so they rarely had it. they just did it in school then didnt have to worry about it later.
as for the book, i agree with DB…i always let my kids read what they wanted to-from the library and from my own library. some they put down because it was too old for them and some they read and loved, then would re-read later and get more meaning from it. i did the same when i was growing up, i was always allowed to read whatever i wanted to and some first reads i got a message that was enhanced by reading it again years later. so i say let her read it. and be ready for questions or not…it may surprise you what parts she will question.

I believe there should be homework on the weekend and not just have them turn off everything on Friday afternoon and not think about school until Monday morning. For high schoolers it is only getting them ready for college. Our college senior came home over Labor Day weekend. Got up Sunday morning about 9, read a book for one class, did some research for a paper, and did the on-line discussion assignment for a class. Finished about 5. Got up early on Monday morning and wrote a paper; took about 5 hours. It was a very good example to our high schooler what college is like. Lots of reading and papers. High schooler has the first quarter literature research paper due next week. Has been working on it most weekends as there are larger blocks of time to do research and write than during the week.
Think about your work life. I work five days a week and always have something I am looking at over the weekend. I specifically go over my week on Sunday night to be prepared, especially if I am traveling. Students need to do that, too.
As for reading, I probably wouldn't recommend having a fourth grader read To Kill A Mockingbird. That is more appropriate for a middle school reader who can derive more from the book than just a "story". There are so many things to think about, to discuss and understand in the context of the setting/time of the story versus today.

Are you kidding me? Too much homework? I can't believe this is even a topic. I hope your kids never have to work on the weekends for the rest of their lives; they might not be able to handle it. Sheesh.
And as far as TKAM is concerned, I would wait until 13 or 14. I think they'll appreciate the book much more at that age.

We try to not do homework on the weekends but it happens sometimes.
TWG, we loved Ginger Pye when we listened to it in the car as a family. Estes is an excellent author. Her '100 dresses' story is wonderful.
Like others, I think To Kill a Mockingbird is a bit old for a 9-year-old. Middle school or high school is a better fit for the depth of the story.

This topic here is an example of why the educational system in the United States will never be "fixed". The school day is not long enough for students to fully grasp all the topics covered during the school day. Extra work outside the school day is needed. I currently live outside the United States. Not only do the students where I live go to school on Saturday (even the preschoolers), but their parents pay for them to go to "cram" school after school to make sure they will pass the proficiency exams to get into high school and college. Americans want it all. They want 21st century education with a 19th century mentality.

@swimming upstream,
That's not quite fair. There are good and bad points about all school systems. I personally miss the longer summer holidays in the States. Our kids had 6 weeks this year and we missed having them home when school restarted. On the other hand, I do like that the kids can start formal schooling here at 4 instead of 5. Because children start school a year later in Georgia and the month he was born, my nephew (about 6 months younger) is two years behind my 9 year old son ( Year 5 ) and is in the same grade as my 7 year old daughter.

I read TKAM in a book club at age 9, and while i understood the plotline, i really didn't get much out of it – many of the subtler themes of the book were completely lost on me. when i re-read it at age 14 in my 9th grade language arts class in high school, i understood much more and loved it. 9 is an acceptable age to read TKAM, but it might be a good idea to read it with her, Theresa, and help her to get more out of it.

To Kill A Mockingbird is probably my favorite book of all time. I read it for the first time when I was 10 1/2- 11? It was 5th grade… I wasn't confused or anything by the book, it was a great book.
September 29th, 2010

I don't buy into the idea of homework AT ALL. When my ten year-old has to spend more than one hour a night doing homework, i draw the line. I tell him no more, put it down, and send a note to school with him. It reads:
"(Child's name) spent one hour on homework and I will not allow him to spend any more time each evening. My taxes pay for your salary, and I suggest that you do your job to my satisfaction within the allotted time frame you are given (that is the regular school day). If you are unable to do this, perhaps you should look for another career."
Needless to say, I'm not any teacher's favorite parent, but I could give a hoot.

Home insurance — get it and know it
According to a TD Insurance survey, nearly 30 percent of Canadians aren't sure what their insurance covers.
My dog bit a school bus driver on the bum. Unannounced, she had opened a driveway gate, driven on to our farm property and gotten out to check turn around space for the school bus come fall. Ben, our German Shepherd standing guard in plain sight, decided to herd her right back into her car - with a little nip on her ample tush for encouragement.
Frankly, I'd never venture out of my car on a rural property with Beware of Dog signs posted and no owner in sight. That would be dumb and dangerous! Nonetheless, we apologized, made sure she was okay and sent her on her way.
It was only when we renewed our insurance the next year that my husband and I discovered the driver made a claim for the bite and our insurance company had settled.
While annoyed that the company could do this without informing us, I was also very happy not to have been saddled with a $4,500 bill for pain, suffering and stupidity.
Fast forward to 2012 when a sewage backup inundated the main floor of our home and cascaded into the basement full of, well, a lifetime of basement stuff. When it happened I panicked, as I could not recall if we were covered for such things.
My husband and I, out of the country at the time, had a bad few hours until we reached the insurance company. Fortunately, the more than $40,000 of damage and loss was completely covered (minus a standard $2,000 deductible.)
Wood Allen once said, "There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?" After the settlement I would have happily invited the salesman, broker and adjuster to dinner for the next decade.
According to a recent TD Insurance survey I'm not alone in getting a C- on insurance policy knowledge. Nearly 30 per cent of Canadians aren't sure what their insurance covers. And I'm betting that when it comes to the minutiae of coverage - sewage backup versus flood from without or within — that figure would be much higher.
Despite this lack of knowledge, fully 70 of Canadians are worried about protection in a natural disaster. Extreme weather events are on the rise in many parts of Canada so this is clearly something we all need to know. I've always been a bit more attuned to acts of Mother Nature than many of my friends because I have lived in the country for a long time — and we've actually been hit by lightning and brushed by a tornado.

eTown Hall Overview
eTown finally has a home of its own. eTown Hall is a multi-purpose building in the heart of downtown Boulder that is not only home to eTown's offices, but also a world-class live music venue, full service recording studio and a real community center. True to eTown's 23-year commitment to environmental education and "doing the right thing," this building, converted from an old church facility, is quite possibly the greenest music and media center in Colorado!
eTown Hall is a home for the values and ideas that have helped make eTown thrive for 23 years. It's a place for music, certainly, but so much more. We hope that eTown Hall will become the center for the kind of lively discussion, environmental education, creative discourse and media making that will really engage a global community at a time when we need it most.
Phases I and II of construction/renovation are complete, and we are currently raising the additional necessary funding for the remaining audio and video infrastructure that has been planned. If you are interested in helping us push the project to absolute completion, please get in touch. There are many ways to show your support!

Help eTown meet our $500,000 Challenge Grant from the Bohemian Foundation! If you donate now your tax-deductible contribution to eTown Hall will be doubled.

I Love To Buy A Woman's Worn PantiesI like to look at the classified ads on Backpage and Craigslist for a local panty seller, and meet in a public place for the transaction. This is how I met Nancy (at least that's what we'll call her here.) I first met Nancy at a newer shopping center in Lakewood. I gave her 50 dollars for 2 used pair of panties. She had a bunch of them in her bag, and she gave me a choice. One pair turned out to be laundered. Bummer. I called her again about a month later and bought one pair for 30 dollars. She had me come to this apartment, and was only wearing a bathrobe. Her room-mate came out of the bedroom naked and said she needed some help. They were giving massages in the apartment. I should have booked a massage right then and there, but that was a voyeur's dream encounter, so I went home and jerked off with the panties. The third and last time I bought a pair from her, I also asked for some nude photos. She said for 70 dollars, I could have a nude photo set and a freshly *********** in pair of panties. I went to the house where she was staying, and she was wearing this house robe like garment that closed in the front. and hung about mid-thigh on her. She reached under and pulled her panties off right in front of me and I gave her the money, and she gave me her panties. She told me she would email my pictures to me later. At that time I asked for a peak. Nancy had a smoking body with pierced nipples and barbels in each and a beautiful perfect shaved *****. I almost didn't make it home. Anyway, she totally ripped me off and didn't send the pictures. I wish I wouldn't have let it come to that because she was the best panty seller tease I have ever met and I really miss her.

How to Undo Self-Sabotage
How to Act Confident in Any Situation
Luckily, with practice you can break this pattern. Recent research in neuroplasticity, the ability to physically rewire your brain to alter its responses, shows that repeated affirmative self-talk can help change your biochemistry so that you act and feel more confident. Start here with these tips for thinking positive in tricky situations.You're up for a promotion at your company.
A coworker says: "I think you're going to get it."
You say: "Doubt it, considering that sloppy memo I sent out last week."
Why you do it: You really want to be liked, and you may believe that appearing too confident puts people off. "While competition among men is encouraged, women typically are more concerned with being well liked," says Judith LeMaster, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Scripps College in Claremont, California.
The risk: Downplaying your successes in a work environment can backfire. "A little self-deprecation may be a way of connecting with people," LeMaster says, "but in a job situation, confidence is equated with competence." And competence is what will win you the promotion, not the number of friends you have.
Next time, say: "I hope so. I've worked really hard for this."
Why it works: By emphasizing the effort you've made, you are acknowledging that a promotion doesn't come easily and still showing that you're willing to do your homework. "Other people are drawn to your strength and self-confidence, not repelled by it," says JoAnn Dahlkoetter, PhD, a sports psychologist and author of Your Performing Edge.
You say: "Oh, really? I thought I had gained weight. I've been eating everything in sight."
Why you do it: Sometimes people feign modesty to (ahem!) draw out additional praise. Positive feedback makes you feel warm and fuzzy; it boosts your confidence by validating your achievements. Plus, you hope if you pretend you're not trying that hard to shed pounds, the feat will seem all the more impressive.
The risk: People can tell when you're faking it. A false humble response can communicate the exact opposite about you. "When it's obvious that someone has done something significant to change her looks, and then she deflects it left and right, it comes off as disingenuous," says Lauri Johnson, a life coach in Los Angeles.
Next time, say: "Thank you." Yep. It's that simple.
Why it works: Accepting a compliment has the additional effect of making the giver feel as good as the receiver. "When someone acknowledges you with flattering comments, think of it as a verbal gift," Johnson says. If you gave a friend a present, you would feel good knowing that she liked it, right?
You say: "Please! I'll be lucky to finish."
Why you do it: Doubting yourself aloud instantly relieves any pressure you may feel. If you fail to do well, at least you predicted it, so you can retain some sense of control.
The risk: Forecasting an unwanted outcome can result in psyching yourself out and achieving a less impressive goal. Language has a powerful impact on your ability to succeed; in this case it may render you unable to finish a race strong, Dahlkoetter says. "If you set low expectations, chances are you won't rise," she explains. "A lot of self-deprecation comes from anxiety about what may happen, and the body tends to follow those negative instructions."
Next time, say: "I'm definitely going to try!"
Why it works: If you talk the talk, you're more likely to walk the walk (or run the run, as the case may be). "In many cases, performance is 10 percent reality and 90 percent perception," Dahlkoetter says. "If you can talk positively, intense situations feel less threatening."
You say: "If we did anything more intense, I'd probably get injured. I'm so clumsy!"
Why you do it: You don't want to make a friend feel bad or push her beyond her comfort zone to satisfy your own needs. You assume that a tougher class would feel threatening to her, not exciting.
The risk: Disparaging one's own ability in order to bolster a friend's confidence is thoughtful the first, maybe the second, time. After that you're holding yourself back and undermining her capacity for improvement, possibly even underestimating it, Johnson says.
Next time, say: "I'd love to try a more advanced class. I think we're up for it."
Why it works: Success begets success. Your skills in cardio class will help spur your pal to meet her fitness goals. "Think of it as an energy train: We're all pushing each other to do our best and get to the finish line," Dahlkoetter says. "It's good to be caring, but there's a difference between being selfish and taking care of yourself." Besides, most classes cater to a range of abilities, so there's no reason you can't sweat together -- each at your own pace.

See Elizabeth Taylor's First Wedding Dress That Just Sold For Nearly $200k
- Entertainment
Christie's predicted to sell Elizabeth Taylor's first wedding dress for somewhere around $30,000 to $40,000. Instead, it sold for almost $200,000 in London on Wednesday.
The dress, made of satin with sewn in pearls and a built-in corset, was a gift from MGM studios after Taylor starred in "Father of the Bride." It was worn in the spring of 1950 when Taylor was 18 and marrying Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Paris Hilton's great grandfather. Taylor, was passed in 2011, would later marry seven additional times after their three-month-long marriage ended.

I Was a Roller Derby Queen! (VIDEO)
I've now taken 36 dares for "I'll Take That Dare," and this week's dare goes down as the roughest, toughest one yet.
Being a roller derby queen is MUCH harder than it looks.
Click through to see the video, then tell me in the comments whether you'd try out for a roller derby team!
All I can tell you is that when I got home that day, I literally felt like I had been beaten up -- and that was pretty much the truth.
These girls were ROUGH!
Despite the difficulties, roller derby was really fun, and it would be tempting to start training with the team. Real tryouts require months (not hours!) of training beforehand. There's only one problem.
I haven't got time for the pain.
As fun as roller derby can be, there were a lot of injuries among this group. The thought of breaking a bone or spraining my back is going to keep me off the concrete. It's not that I'm afraid of the pain -- I'm afraid of not being able to take care of my kids!
If I were still single and in my 20s, though, I'd TOTALLY want to be a roller derby queen in my spare time!
How about you?

HeatherDecember 4, 2012 at 11:47 AMI'm 34, married, have 2 kids and I'm a rollergirl with the Rollergirls of Central Kentucky. Roller derby is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has given me a confidence I never knew I had and my husband and kids are super proud of me. My teammates are the best and most supportive group of people I know. The sport is hard, demanding and at times frustrating, but it is so worth the blood, sweat and tears!

I am 39, with 4 kids and a full time job and play roller derby in San Diego. I can't stress how much it has changed my life for the better- it is hard to balance it all but it is the best thing I have ever done! I never played sports but I was facinated by roller derby and decided to give it a shot over a year ago and have never looked back. To see what your body is capable of and the confidence you get is amazing. I now have 20 sisters that have my back and are there for me anytime for any reason and as we are all mothers our kids get to grow up together. The derby widows (our men) all get along, hang out with us and support us in the most amazing ways. He is so proud of me, and loves the changes that have happened in me since I joined. We have girls on the team that are over 50. I recommend it for everyone to try- it will change your life!!!! Hellvira #138 Hidden City Derby Girls

"Roll derby queen" is a weird term you keep using - I've been playing two years and never heard a real player say that... we're just "roller derby players" - or "athletes" ;)

Roller Derby Queen is a song from the 70's, no we aren't called that but others still use the term. We play it at our after parties and everyone sings along. Harmless.

i7 4770k is $177 when it is normally priced at $330...
By the way how is my build? it came up as $1350 after discount. I am planning on buying GTX 770 4gb separately for because they were charging $500 for 2gb version while 4gb sells for $450.
That's an additional 177 with whatever the price of the base CPU is.
Pearl Code: 0731 1228 8254 White Code: 0862 2790 1982
The 4770K is not $177, it's $177 extra on top of the base price of the build compared to whatever CPU they would normally give you.

Keep in mind the word "add" in front of "$177". It's $177 more. I'm guessing the base model is an i3 or something.
EDIT: Base model is some sort of i5, which is probably worth at least $150 in itself. So when you add $177 on top of it, you get close to the original price.

The 4770K is not $177, it's $177 extra on top of the base price of the build compared to whatever CPU they would normally give you.
If you add them up you get $1067
With $1350~ end price with discount
Value of it all is around $1430
1430-1067 = $363 extra fees - $80 discount = $280~ charged
which is still amazing deal since you are basically paying only around $100 for warranty, tax, service, etc... after covering actual cpu price.
Edit: In CA at least amazon due to knew law I have pay around 17% of item price for shipping + tax T_T

Not necessarily. Perhaps he wouldn't run into issues until months or years later, possibly after the warranty or after he loses interest in the machine. Meanwhile they're profiting by using old/refurbished/broken parts and selling them in machines as new... can't really trust these "build for you" sites IMO.

Ever Been a Server or Bartender? Read THIS!
"Consumer Guide on the Working Conditions of American Restaurants" is a 30-page guide to working conditions in popular American restaurants, published by Restaurant Opportunities Center United, a worker-rights advocacy group. It tells you whether the staff at the restaurant you're thinking of eating at gives its staff sick-leave, whether they are paid beyond the $2.13 minimum wage for tipped workers, and whether the restaurant has a policy of limiting women, immigrants and people of color to lower-paid "back of the house" jobs.
You can read more about it and find the full thing here. Yeah, it's long, but it's worth taking a glance at if you've ever worked in the service industry.
And here's an interesting thought, how many people know that servers make $2.13 an hour? I'd venture to say a lot, if not most, diners. So, if an increase is made to the base pay, don't you think people will then start tipping less?
Here comes my server talk, but it's kind of like "gratting" a big table. Sure your menu says in size 4 fine print at the very bottom back right hand corner that parties of 6 or more can expect gratuity, but people still get mad- or maybe mad is the wrong word, but people are less likely to add to gratuity once it's been included. That's why you play it by ear.. if you are really hitting it off with a table, you don't grat them because you might end up making more.
If people know that servers are making regular wages without tips, you can bet they will be just that- without tips. Don't give people a reason to be any cheaper.
And notice the study comes complete with little cards you can hand to servers at the end of a meal.. I'm wondering how many of these "worker's rights" enthusiasts would be content with just leaving said card.
I'm going to guess.. all of them.

Shreveport has been dealing with poor water and sewer pipes for years and now the federal government says it's time to clean up our act. And that means more money out of your pocket. Monthly bills will triple for some homeowners. But we wanted to know if big businesses in the area can expect the same rise in rates... Or are they exempt because they bring jobs into the area? Woodrow Wilson Jr. is the Caddo Parish Administrator. He said, "Every community across the united states has to give incentives to businesses coming to their community, otherwise no one would come. They go where the cost of operating is feasible."
But now that water customers in Shreveport expect their rates to quadruple in some cases, we wanted to find out if industrial customers would share the increased burden. Water discount rates were given to companies like Pratt Industries, a recycling company, and to Benteler steel, which will open at the Port of Shreveport-Bossier in coming years. Wilson and other local officials were important in attracting companies like Pratt and Benteler to the area.
Right now companies like Pratt pay $2.13 for every thousand gallons of water they use. With the proposed 26 percent increase, Pratt -- like residential users -- would pay $2.68 for every thousand gallons. And so will Benteler. Wilson said, "That commercial rate is nothing magical. All major utility companies provide that because they consume a very large quantity of it." Pratt uses about 23 million gallons of water a month. Benteler is expected to use more than 5 million gallons a month. But consider the Summer of 2011 when high temperatures and low rainfall pushed overall demand so high that the city approached its maximum capacity for water treatment. The city never rationed water, but it did make appeals to residents to cut back on watering lawns and washing cars. Still there were no rate policies to push heavy industrial users to conserve or to use partially treated grey water instead of drinking water. The city has even run a grey water supply line to Pratt's plant at the port. Wilson said, grey water is very useful for industrial purposes. "They use it for industry process, for cooling, and manufacturing where it doesn't have to meet high quality standards in terms of drinking." Barbara Featherston, Interim Director of Shreveport's Water and Sewer Department says the city is working with Pratt to eventually use grey water.
Both Pratt and Benteler receive in city rates even though they operate at the port, which is outside of Shreveport city limits.
Here's the 7 day forecast.

He's got some stiff competition ... but NFL star Larry English says his lingerie model GF is the hottest in the entire NFL ... so, TAKE THAT AJ McCARRON!
Larry made the proclamation while leaving Greystone Manor in L.A. with Nicole Williams -- who's been featured in Treats! Magazine and on La Senza -- a huge lingerie website.
No doubt Williams is a total smokeshow ... but how does she stack up in an extremely competitive league filled with talent like Lindsey Duke (Blake Bortles' GF), Katherine Webb (AJ McCarron's GF) and Draya Michele (Orlando Scandrick's GF)??
Her face is a 6 at best. Fail.
She is okay, and seems like fun.
It's a sad day in our times when people place value in who's the prettiest, who has the biggest house, who has the fastest car, who's got the nicest ass, who's got the longest extensions/weave, the whitest teeth, best implants, biggest Baller contract, Grammy, Emmy, etc etc etc... When the end come God ain't checking for none of that mess. You'll be judge on how you lived your life and how you treated others during your short stay here on planet earth. Period!!
