White inks a pair of Savannahs
By HEATHER KENNEDY
GREELEY – Northern Colorado women's basketball coach Jaime White didn't realize when she began the recruiting process that she'd be creating an alliterative tongue twister for the next four years, but that's exactly what happened on Wednesday when she signed Savannah Scott and Savannah Smith to National Letters of Intent.
"Both Smith and Scott will bring a lot of speed and quickness," White said. "They are both great players, but more important are great people. We are excited to have them join our family."
|Scott, a 5-9 point guard from Campbell, Calif., will join the Bears from Westmont High School where she is an eight-time letter winner for the Warriors. She has four letters in basketball, three in volleyball as an outside hitter and one in track & field as a distance runner. On the hardwood, Scott is a three-time First-Team All-League selection and last year as a junior was named to the Second-Team All-San Jose Mercury News squad. In volleyball she is also a three-time First-Team All-Conference pick. Last year as a junior Scott averaged 22.2 points, 7.2 steals and 5.5 assists per game. She will enroll at Northern Colorado in the fall, 2014 and study nutrition.
"Scott has a great vision on the court that will make her fun to play with," White said.
|Smith is a 5-6 guard from Fort Collins, Colo., and Fossil Ridge High School. She enters her senior season with two First-Team All-Conference selections under her belt and was also an Academic All-State honorable mention a season ago. A year ago Smith was named the Fossil Ridge Player of the Year and she owns the single game record for steals in a game. With her club team, Smith was named to the All-Tournament teams at the 2013 Mountain Madness, the Nike Summer Showcase and the Music City Madness tournaments. A season ago she averaged 15.0 points, 3.5 steals and 4.5 assists per game as well as shot 81 percent from the free throw line. Smith will also enroll at UNC in the fall, 2014 semester, but is undecided on a field of study.
"Smith is not only quick," White said, "but can shoot and distribute the ball at a high level."

The Honors Program admission review process is holistic. In addition to SAT scores and GPA, the Honors Program values the following attributes and they are considered during the admission process: creativity, intellectual curiosity, commitment to thinking deeply and broadly about a range of ideas, communication skills, and interdisciplinary orientation. The Honors Program is committed to diversity in admissions (broadly defined to include, minimally, race/ethnicity, family income, gender, life experience, major).

|High School Average Score Range
Application guidelines for incoming freshmen:
- SAT scores: 1280 or higher (Critical Reading and Math)
- ACT composite score: 28 or higher
- High school average: 95 or higher

Guidelines for the cover letter:
Prospective students have an opportunity through the letter of application to explain why they are interested in the Honors Program and why they are a good fit for it. The letter of application should address the following: Why do you want to join the program? What would you bring to the program? What are your goals, both as a student and beyond? Please share examples to illustrate your commitment to values such as creativity, intellectual curiosity, commitment to thinking deeply and broadly about a range of ideas, communication skills, interdisciplinary orientation or other characteristics that would allow you to not only benefit from but contribute to the Honors Program at New Paltz.
There are three basic requirements for graduating with honors:
1. Seminars: Most Honors courses fulfill GE requirements. Students starting the program late are not required to take The Individual and Society and may be allowed to skip one or more courses at the discretion of the Director. The Honors Program requirement that Honors students take four honors seminars may be modified in individual cases by a waiver of a maximum of two seminars. The waiver is designed to accommodate students who transfer in as second semester sophomores or juniors, those who are in accelerated programs, and those who have majors with unusually heavy course requirements. Three seminars are sufficient for students entering the Honors Program as second semester sophomores (have completed 45 credits), two for those who enter as juniors (have completed 60 credits).
The seminars are all cross-disciplinary, and on a variety of topics. In the past, we have offered the following seminars:
- The Individual and Society
- Education and Poverty
- 20th Century Work and Image
- Modern Self and Society
- Debates in U.S. History
- Modern Western Aesthetic Theory
- Racism and the Social Sciences
- West African History and Perspectives
- Origins of "Evil Incarnate: The Grim Adventure"
- Love and Humanity
- Education Across Borders
- U.S. Drug Education and Policy
- Doing Race and Gender
- Indigenous Ways of Knowing
- Cigarettes and Nylons - Postwar Realities in Occupied Germany after World War II
- Poetry and Performance
- Evolution and Humanity
- Myth Meets Philosophy
- Digital Diasporas
- Feminist Emistemology
- What Causes Cancer?
- Metropolis to Megalopolis: New York City Culture, 1865-1929
- Work
- The Shaping of American Culture
- News Media in America
- Place Matters
Honors students also have the option to take Honors-designated courses in the major.
2. Community Service: All Honors Students must complete at least 40 hours of community service before graduating (though we hope you would do more!). This service can be done on-campus, at home over the summer, or even in the Honors Center. We have a list of suggested places to do community service.
3. Senior Thesis: Before graduating, all Honors Students must complete a senior thesis project. The specific type of the project can vary depending on your own focus. Students in the natural sciences tend to do laboratory experiments, while students in the Humanities tend to write papers. Art students usually put up an exhibition of their work in the Honors Center.
Students also have a chance to present their senior theses in a special ceremony the day before graduation. The president of the college attends these ceremonies to award you with a special Honors sash to wear at graduation.
Here's a listing of several recent graduate's thesis projects:

The unanimously rejected a contractual fact-finding report, although members said they hope to continue bargaining with the district's union bus drivers, support staff and custodians.
Nearly 50 people attended the Monday morning special meeting and several pleaded with the board to accept the fact-finding report so the union and school district could move forward with a contract.
District Superintendent Brian White Jr. said they plan to continue negotiating with the union and thinks they're "getting closer" despite rejecting the state mediator's report.
The 140 workers have been without a contract since 2011 and are concerned their jobs might be outsourced to a private company. The Chartiers Valley Education Support Professionals union spokesman said on Friday that .
Theresa McGill, whose husband, Al, is the high school's head custodian, said the employees have developed a close relationship with the students and is worried that outside workers might not know the inner-workings of "specialty jobs" in the schools.
"Right now you have a very good staff, a very dedicated group of workers," McGill said.
She also pointed to work the custodians did two years ago to help evacuate Chartiers Valley Primary School and set up tables on the high school campus so the students could eat lunch.
"The students say, 'That's my janitor,' and get a smile," McGill said. "They feel comfortable enough to say hi to them and know them outside of the district."
Michelle Sedlak said she thought the fact finder's contract proposal was "an affront" to the drivers and custodians, and hoped the union would push back against the district. She said she was concerned about the "precious cargo" riding the buses and did not want a private company taking over the duties.
"They gave you almost every concession and there is nothing over the top (in the contract)," Sedlak said. "These people are what's important."
However, the board voted 8-0 to reject the report during the 30-minute meeting. Bridget Kelly did not attend because of a death in her family.
Michael Brungo, who is the school district's attorney and lead negotiator, said Monday's decision doesn't mean the workers will lose their jobs.
"The parties will continue to negotiate and hopefully reach a contract," Brungo said. "The district did not believe (the fact finder and union proposals) were realistic. Bottom line."
He said there is no timeline or cutoff date for negotiations and hoped a decision could be reached "in the near future."
School Director Bob Kearney voted against the fact finding report, but still showed support by clapping after each of the eight residents and workers who spoke during the meeting.
"It's hard, but it's about being fiscally responsible and being able to maintain the budget over the next few years," Kearney said.
Butch Santicola, the spokesman for the union, said he's not sure why the board rejected the fact-finding report, but his group is willing to continue to negotiate.
"We're not surprised what happened, but we are disappointed," Santicola said. "We have no idea why they're going after transportation and bus services."
He backed off previous statements that the union could strike as early as Wednesday morning, but said it still might be an option before the school year is over.
"Maybe this can still be worked out," Santicola said. "We have no desire to have a strike. It's an activity we have to do at this point. We may not have a choice. We'll go back to the bargaining table and see what happens."

Its not the best, but it has a great athletic team & wonderful teachers who work one on one with us students
Im a watson student and i love it here, because they put fun into our learning!
I love the school spirit, staff, and the learning atmosphere! Its an amazing school. My son has had an awesome Jr. High experience.
Amazing. Great and dedicated teachers and staff.
Watson is a great school. I go there and am very happy with it. The teachers teach very well, and teach the curriculum that we should be learning. They also have great extra-curricular activities. Everyone has great school spirit so it's just an all around great school.
My child went to Watson and she suffered numerous discriminations from her teachers and fellow students. She is behind all the kids at her current charter school. Never let your child attend this hellish school.

The Associated Press is reporting what many parents know from first-hand experience – they are cutting back on what they spend on their kids.
From toys to birthday parties, from swim lessons to private schools, parents are saying "No" more often.
" 'Parents are cutting back across the board,' said BMO Capital Markets analyst Gerrick Johnson."
"In 2008, sales of toys fell 3 percent to $21.6 billion from the previous year. Children's clothing fell 2.2 percent to $36.8 billion, according to the research firm NPD Group."
"At RockNfun Music in Falls Church, Va., the number of people, mostly children, taking guitar, piano and other lessons has fallen 5 to 10 percent in the past four months, co-owner Kevin Glass said."
"Paul Feciura, owner of Youth Sports, Virginia Training Center Inc. in Woodbridge, Va., said business has dropped 15 to 20 percent since last summer – even though the Beijing Olympics should have provided a boost. The company is trying to accommodate some hard-hit parents by reducing rates."
And even the Tooth Fairy is responding to the recession with the average pillow payout dropping from $2.09 last year to $1.88 this year, according to a recent survey by DeCare Dental, a Minnesota-based benefits management company.
What are you cutting back on for your kids? Are you staying home for birthday parties and inviting fewer kids? Are you forgoing the youth league for baseball? Will you give up camp for the summer or pool memberships? Has your Tooth Fairy started paying out less?
By coincidence, the AJC has put together a lovely package about teaching your kids to be money savvy. I wanted to share all the links with you.

$2 for the tooth fairy!? Holy cow! Our kids' teeth were only worth $1 each. I had one friend who got all excited when her oldest child lost their first tooth, and left $10 — we all laughed and pointed out that it was "1 down, 27 to go", and that mouthfull of baby teeth was going to cost her a fortune!
We've stopped music lessons, but only because she's finished all her college auditions, and only has one more performance before graduation. I haven't noticed a particular downturn in expenses — i.e., prom expenses, graduation announcements, etc., etc., and at their age, they are pretty much on their own with clothes, etc., except for special stuff (i.e., I forked over for the graduation dress). We did give up our neighborhood club membership because we've finished with summer swim league.
If anyone has teenagers and they have an opportunity to take Dave Ramsey's financial management class for teenagers, I would strongly recommend it. I wish I had had a similar class when I was a young adult. My daughter LOVED it, and is much more choosey about what she spends her money on, now.
And now that the youngest will be in college, we will be saving a ton of money on private school tuition! After being at the same school since kindergarten, there was no way I was going to take them out their last year or two — but yeah, it's been a bit of a stretch. With the HOPE scholarship, college will actually be cheaper than high school — whoohoo!

I have been wondering how the summer posh camps are doing, as these tend to be filled with so many kids whose parents want to park them somewhere else for most of the summer. They are not cheap either.
Our daughter pays for half of her week at church camp…about $300 total.
As many of you know, we felt the pinch about 5 years ago and are now in recovery. No one gave a flip about our predicament then…"things will work out" but NOW it is an entirely different story if it is their pocket book.
I am going to look into the Dave Ramsey class…thanks DB. Off to schools and the airport for my LAST trip until the end of next month…HOORAH
We gave $1 per tooth but that was at least 10 years ago….inflation?
I commented on tipping ( see yesterday's blog) and the service personnel that I run into tell me that their tips are WAY down. I irks me to see someone get off the airport shuttle bus and have the drive haul three bags and golf clubs to their Lexus or BMW and they do not even give them a $2 tip.
I drive a paid for Chevy and tip…maybe that is why I can tip….LOL!

Yes, we had inexpensive birthday parties this past year for my children and spent less on the gifts. This has more to do with them getting older, though, and being more aware of what things cost. I don't want them to think we are going to spend a lot of money on gifts all the time and for them to get to the point where they expect that.
I have always been able to explain to my kids if something they wanted was too expensive, or if they wanted a cheaply made toy that was not worth the cost, I would explain that to them. Luckily, they have accepted my explanations. (I am that mom in the dollar store who won't let their child pay a dollar for something because it is not even worth that much. It has gotten to the point where I can just say, "That is junk," and they know that means it is not worth it.)
Our tooth fairy leaves $5 for the first tooth and $2 for the rest.
We did have to cut out gymnastics for a session, and I explained to the children that we did not have the money for it right now but would re enroll them when we did.

We've definitely cut back this year. My daughter just had a birthday and was given a $100 gift card and two t-shirts (there were cute and only $5 each!). For us, that's a cut. Typically she would've received at least $150 (she's a teenager so we don't buy her clothes anymore, she's too picky!).
We won't be taking a huge vacation this year and Friday night pizza is a thing of the past; we eat hotdogs instead lol!
Motherjanegoose I can't imagine not tipping. I worked as a server for 3 years in college and I needed those tips to pay my rent. It's a shame that people don't want to pay for service. I drive a 10 year old luxury car, maybe that's why I'm able to tip well too!

Hey RJ — We still do pizza night but we don't order out — Publix has fresh dough that you can buy and make your own. You can freeze the dough if you're not going to use it that night and then thaw it out that day. It makes a nice little pizza for about $3. I make the kids plain cheese and then do us a fancier one.
April 16th, 2009
8:14 am
Oh heavens no! After all, this how I show them how much I love them – by showering them with materialistic things – more than they will ever need. This makes me feel better for all of the long days at the office. I love my kids so much it hurts.
April 16th, 2009
8:30 am
What a great idea Theresa! I actually thought about doing that, but I honestly thought that it would cost a lot more! I'll definitely give it a try tomorrow.
April 16th, 2009
8:41 am
RJ — one jar of the pizza quick sauce will do for two pizzas but you may need 2 2-cup bags of cheese depending on your cheesiness — Only other advice is once the pizza dough is thawed you have to let it sit out on the counter for an hour before you can press it out — it seems to be a little bit resistant and I still haven't quite decided if I'm overworking the dough or not enough — the kids love helping and eating — Rose usually makes the kids' pizza for me.

To MJG: I hear you on that one. Our bottom fell out 5 years ago too and no one cared. You find out REAL quick who your true friends are.
Now things are good for us and everyone else is complaining. I smile and nod and remember what they said to ME when things were tough.
April 16th, 2009
8:47 am
Theresa & RJ, most Fridays, before my daughter started working, we would have pizza and movie night. I would buy the small Boboli pizza crusts and we made our own pizzas. When my nieces would come over, we would all make our own individual pizzas. The kids had so much fun doing that. They looked forward to Friday's at Aunt JJ's…….
Yes I have cut back, but it doesn't seem to help any. I'm still broke three days before payday. We live very simply, and frugal. I drive an 11 year old car too, paid off. My house is simple, nothing fancy. We don't go out for meals very often, as I love to cook. I wear jeans and tennis shoes so no expenses there. I don't drink much either, and very rarely go out. If I do go out its usually to a friends or they come to my house. I much prefer that, I really don't care to go out much. It's a waste of money. I'm putting in a "salad" garden this year, to save grocery money. I hope to have a little surplus to sell at the Suwanee Farmer's Market this spring and summer……
I barely ran my heater this winter, and relied mostly on space heaters. Since I'm home alone a lot in the evenings, there's no need to heat the entire house, and basement. I've closed off vents to rooms that aren't used regularly, ie the guest bedroom, and the basement. I have four animals in the bed with me, so I don't need any heat….why do they all want to sleep with me?..

Sorry, I don't mean that I laught at their predicament. It was just a figure of speach.

Nadia….good for you making the gymnastics cut. I know a lady who keeps her kid (who is only 3) enrolled in 3 different activities because the child "needs something to keep her busy" even though they do not have the money. Ridiculous!!!
We have been cutting back in some areas to save for a Disney trip in January. It will be Little E's first trip so we want to have all the money we will need to go all out for that trip. We probably won't take her back for a couple of years so we want to fit in as much as possible. We aren't big spenders anyway. Can't spend it if you don't have it….oh, wait….that's why the economy is in the crapper because people spend it even though they really don't have it! Proud to say that we did not contribute to that mess. Sorry for jumping on the soapbox. On a side note, we are one of the lucky ones refinancing our house…lowering our rate 2 points and saving a couple hundred on our mortgage. WOOHOO!!!! Happy Thursday y'all!!

Theresa…good idea on the frozen pizza dough! Well, we don't really give our little guy birthday parties (yet). We both work full time and it is VERY difficult to get something like this planned. Also, we are REALLY tight financially right now. I'd rather keep things close to home and get him a couple of extra special gifts instead a bunch of money to entertain a bunch of other kids! Today is his birthday in fact! He's 6…where has the time gone?! I'll be making him the cake he requested (home made chocolate brownie sheet cake), and celebrating at home with our immediate family!
I would LOVE to get him enrolled into swim lessons or put him in a baseball league, but we just don't have the extra money right now. My short term budget goals for summer are to save enough for swim lessons as I think these are EXTREMELY important and useful for the remainder of his life!
We have also cut WAY back in our amount of frivolous spending and eating out! We used to eat out almost nightly! Now we spend most evenings at home with 1-2 dining out events during the week. We probably shouldn't even do those, but with our schedules, it's difficult not to! When we do dine out, we ALWAYS tip.

I showed the title of the blog to a friend, and her comment was "Well, if your not cutting/curbing expenses on the kids during the recession, then your an idiot."
Yes, in my house we have cut/curbed expenses. The kids actually don't mind waiting to go to the $1 theatre to see a movie they want to see. There are still 'exceptions' (we were part of the $34 million of Hannah Montana last week).
Friday Pizza/Movie night…might just be the Disney Channel Movie and a bowl of ice cream (dinner having been something Mom made). Sometimes (again last week) it is actually Pizza and the Disney Channel.
Guitar lessons left when I lost my job last year. Said guitar needs to be restrung. One child plays Soccer (she loves it and gives her confidence). Otherwise no 'paid' activities….we hit the pool at the gym, the park, and the courts in the subdivision.
I keep saying we will cut back on dining out with friends…so I am working on having the folks we see come to our house for dinner. That worked for a taco night…I spent HALF what I would at the restaurant and fed 3 kids 2 adults with leftovers for another dinner! (This included margaritas, rice, chips & salsa, etc).

FCM, when inviting friends over, have them bring a side dish, most people don't mind bringing something. I gather with friends frequently. We have a tradition, the host provides the main course, and everyone brings appetizers, sides and desserts. It really helps with the budget, and everyone pitches in……I can't wait to fire up my grill, if it ever gets warm!!!
Next weekend we are going to a friends for dinner, and Wii……

I was just talking to a friend last night about mom's night out — She was in a parking lot trying to find a spot to meet her friends from her child's school. She commented she was glad they picked a cheap place but all the other moms seemed to be going there too.
I have to admit I did feel guilty last weekend with the fabulous hotel and night out when we have been trying to cut back and save. Michael kept saying we never do anything for ourselves and that was OK. We have done a really good job cutting fast food out. It's easier when the big kids are in school. I'm worried about stopping too much this summer. I need to have stuff at home to make quick picnic lunches as we run out the door. We're debating piano lessons for Rose this summer — it's a good time to start, but … I need to investigate more on the cost.
Ooh — I want to throw out something we just learned and I'll post the link — Military families can get really good deals at Disney World — I believe the military person could get a 5-day pass for FREE!! (Even retired — I think Michael's Dad who was in for 25 years and retired with benefits, is going to get the 5-day free pass) and THEN the military person can buy 5 more 3-day pass for $99 each.
Check out the link — http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/01/28/16162-disney-parks-celebrate-us-military-with-free-multi-day-admission-to-theme-parks-in-2009/

I see kids who seem to have everything, both middle and high school-aged kids. I'm not necessarily opposed to kids having really nice "stuff," but if they get it all too soon and haven't earned it, what do they have to look forward to when they are adults and don't make enough money to provide them with the comfort they are used to?
When I was young, if we went to fast-food restaurant, it was maybe once in a few months. We ate our meals at home. If it was a special occasion, perhaps we went out. Pizza night at our house was a frozen pizza. We seldom went to restaurants– my mother and father had that privilege. Even now, I seldom eat fast-food. It's just not that good, and I hate giving up those calories for something I don't particularily enjoy. I also take my lunch to school every day, so I don't spend a lot of money during the week.
My parents were frugal, but we had everything we needed. I guess with older parents who lived through the Great Depression, they didn't see the need to waste anything. My mom even reused aluminum foil (I remember having to wash the foil and styrofoam trays that veges come in!).

Teacher Too, my parents were very frugal also, but we had things we "needed". When all my friends were getting cars bought by their parents, my father would tell me "you will appreciate that car more if you buy it yourself" and I did!!!! That man was so wise.
Anyway, they saved, and were frugal, and invested their money wisely.
I remember a friend in high school brought her lunch every day. She had to save her brown bag and the baggies and use them each for one week. I remember her sitting at the lunch table, cleaning out her baggies, and folding everything up nicely to be used again the next day. But then again, they had 9 kids……so they had to be very frugal!!!

Hello everyone! It's been a while.
I have been watching expenses with my 4 month old. I believe I have done a pretty good job with not falling into traps by buying things that aren't needed. I've watched toys I wanted and waited for good deals (BOGO). I am already discussing plans for christmas and birthdays so that we don't set ourselves up with an expensive tradition.
As for the adults, we have cut out a lot of things to make sure we can get what we really want.
THERESA, where in publix is the pizza dough? I thought I was going to have to go to Trader JOes to get some.

We had to cut back on a lot of things a long time and we've had to postpone things like sports and music lesson because we simply don't have the money. Weekly pizza night has become more like a monthly thing or we get the "take & bake" pizza from the grocery store.
We are sticking with Cub Scout though it has turned out to be a lot more expensive than we bargained for. My son is a really good kid and we want to have some kind of extracurricular activities so I've cut out pretty much anything of mine that isn't absolutely essential. My husband and I both have to work in order for us to make it so summer day camp is a necessity for us. My son desparately wants to go back to the camp he attended last summer but we just don't have the money. He will go to the Boys & Girls Club for the entire summer for what the other camp costs for two weeks.

We have been in the position many are in several times because of the nature of my husband's career. He has been let go 4 different times. The last time was a month after I lost my job so neither of us was working. I guess we are not cutting back because we are already pretty frugal that there isn't a lot to cut back on. Also, if we eliminate everything, what are the people who are relying on our $$$ to do? It becomes a domino effect if we all stop spending.
I will say our expenses have grown. Our oldest is in college here in Georgia and luckily is under the Fixed for Four. With the HOPE, tuition is covered, but the fees keeping rising and we need to find $$ to pay that. Also, room and board are skyrocketing but next year off campus is what we are using and it is much cheaper. It was difficult to find a summer job this year though.
Our other expenses will remain about the same even with our youngest entering high school. We caught a break on tuition but signing early and going to the same school as we did for middle school. Still need to pay for the travel sports team, but the parents on the team decided last fall to cut back on the out-of-state tournaments and only do one in the fall and one in the spring. That helped a lot as both were within driving distances and there was a lot of carpooling.
I found a teacher at the high school who tutors in the summer and for a very reasonable rate so that expense went down almost $20 per week. We also rarely go out to dinner as my husband travels 85% so on the weekends he just wants to be at home. Clothes shopping is only for necessities like school uniforms or shoes or worn out items. We have not given up my gym membership (I need that both physically and mentally) nor the golf club membership because three out of the four of us play. We have had that so long that it is not a big expense and much much less than if we had to pay for every round we play. It may all seem extravagant but these are items we really enjoy. We don't go on trips, actually never have as our vacation is always to see far-away family, which means free room and board. Our kids understand wise spending and we save a lot out of our paychecks every month, including 401K, rainy day fund, retirement funds and just plain old savings.

Has anyone heard Susan Boyle from Britian's Got Talent? I saw a news clip last night, and was blown away. Five people have asked me today if I saw it…..that woman was sensational!!! and she will be famous!!! If you haven't seen her, go to YouTube.com……..you will be blown away!!!!!

Teresa: If you are able to go to Disney World with your father-in-law included, check out "Shades of Green" hotel, which is for military:
The rate is based on your rank and it's right across the road from the Grand Floridian resort, so you're right near a monorail. My mother and I stayed there when we both took a break and I ran the Disney Marathon and it was WONDERFUL! I must say for anyone who uses a wheelchair that they are truly one of the most accessible hotels I've ever stayed in. Do act quickly to make reservations, as they fill up quickly.
Other discounts available for military can be found at this link:
There are also military hotels that are very reasonably priced for active duty and retired military. Google the Navy Lodge and Air Force Inn websites and you can find deals on rooms that are clean, safe, and about what you'd expect from a Holiday Inn.
For pizza, our family has a bread machine that makes pizza dough and a Pampered Chef pizza stone and we'll make the dough and invite friends over who will bring one ingredient each and we'll make homemade pizzas. My husband and I did this when I was stationed in San Diego (a very expensive place to live) and our kids love it!
Also, we don't go to the movies anymore but subscribe to Netflix with the one movie per week plan and at less than $10, it is very affordable.
Fortunately we're now stationed in the DC area, which has a boatload of museums that are predominantly free–would highly recommend this for a summer vacation.

We didn't have a lot to cut back on..I'm already a thrift store shopper for clothes for me & the kids..I haven't bought a purse from a dept. store in over 15 years..The kids love yard sales..We haven't been to a movie but maybe once in over 10 years..My car is paid for..
We have family in VA, DC, TX & KY, so that's where we do most of our vacations at..Of course the kids are still young enough to enjoy the small things in life that we do for them..They will be 7 in June & they are wanting a big party, so that will be our one big expense for them this year..

I've seen the Publix pizza dough in the bakery section. Also, you can get the pillsbury rolled pizza dough if you can't find Publix. Same concept; I don't know how it compares w/Publix, but I do know that it was about $2.50 cheaper than the Boboli.

My mom takes us on vacations once or twice a year. She usually springs for the hotel/condo and one nice meal out. We take care of everything else, if she let's us. She buys the groceries for a weeks stay in a condo. We pay for the entertainment.
The ocean entertains me, and it doesn't cost anything. ;) All I need is a lounge chair, a good book, an umbrella and a cooler full of booze!!!!!
April 16th, 2009
3:14 pm
JJ, I'm with you on the ocean and such! During the summer, I am perfectly content to sit in a chair at the beach, book in one hand and a Corona Light in the other, the sun shining on me– and the sounds of the waves to relax me. It's a perfect day. Fortunately, we have friends we can stay with when we need a beach fix. We are going to take a pretty expensive vacation this year, but I have been doing a ton of research and I've been watching the airfare. Since my vacation usually involves visiting my elderly parents, it's not usually much of a vacation; I'm taking care of things that my parents are not able to do.
In the meanwhile, we have a beautiful backyard, a beach chair, a stack of library books, and a cooler– it's not the beach, but it's still pretty wonderful and inexpensive!
April 16th, 2009
3:28 pm
Teacher, Too – It's the simple things in life, huh????? I'm perfectly content in my back yard too……..it doesn't take much for me to enjoy myself……I bought a little kiddie pool last summer, so I can at least sit in it when it gets hot……My dogs think it's their personal watering hole…

We have cut back on a few things, not too much. But then again, we were already pretty frugal. My husband was just brought up that way. I on the other hand, was not. I have learned from him. I think I have just gotten older and wiser and realize the things that I really need (and the things I don't).
The biggest thing that I am trying to cut back on is eating out (from meals to snacks). I have been cutting back on the little things that I get for my children (that are not needed). I was already starting to do some of these things. I am trying to teach my daughter about appreciating the value of money (should have started this a long time ago :-(

Checking in from Oklahoma….
Theresa, I also believe that Disney is having a special where you can get in FREE on your birthday. Some may want to take advantage of that…not me.
We are spending 2 separate weeks at the beach in 2 bdr 2 ba condos for $500 and $550 per week. No, I am not telling you where or I will not be able to go next year….everyone else will be there!
Please remember that if you DO spend time in another person's condo, be gracious and get them something to show your appreciation…even a $100 gift card to a nice restaurant is much cheaper than you spending the money to rent your own condo ( see my post yesterday).
Teacher too…my kids know how much things cost and how nothing is FREE.
There are so many kids out there who drive nicer cars than many adults I know and Mom and Dad foot the entire bill…what are they learning?
Have a nice evening…I am off to a quiet dinner by myself!

JJ – Yes I saw the Susan Boyle performance — WHOA!
Amazing voice, but not sure if it was just amazing, period, or just amazing considering what the expectation was vis a vis the "packaging". I'm not a good technical voice judge, but from where I sat, she had a beautiful voice. Reminded me of Paul Potts, the guy who won it a couple of years ago singing "Nessun Dorma", another guy whose appearance hid amazing talent. The YouTube clip of the performance has had over 25 million hits this week, which is almost a record.

DB I went home last night and watched the entire performance. I got a bit misty. Good music and song always moves me……..I have such a love for music. My stereo is on 24/7 in my house…..there's always music in my life….

Even Clark Howard admonishes though who plan to go out but cut back the tip due to the economy/budget. If your not planning to tip try McD's or Chick Fil A…otherwise budget the tip in your meal plan.
@JJ— Susan Boyle was awesome. My kids even liked it. What I hated was Simon's smile, he is so going to take advantage of that woman and she probably has no idea what the contract she signed said. Also, the friends do bring things to the dinners too.
The Pizza dough is in the Bakery section at Publix. It is in the cheese section at Trader Joe's.

Students are taking a test today, and I am worn out from grading papers. All I can think about is 4:30 and having an tasty margarita. I am definitely ready for the weekend.
Here's a possible Fun Friday topic: What was the one thing you swore you would never say as a parent that you find yourself echoing. For example, when my sister and I had totally exasperated my mother, she would say, "Just wait until your father gets home…" I don't have children, but I do find myself saying and doing things that always irritated me when my mom and/or dad did them.
April 17th, 2009
1:01 pm
Teacher, Too I love margaritas, and just discovered Patron tequilla. That's good stuff. It's expensive in the restaurants, but well worth it. I'm getting some tonight…….
OMG, I have a TON of things I hear myself saying to my daughter that I swore I would NEVER say. The first one that comes to mind is "I hope you have one just like you." Oh Boy do I. My kid is EXACTLY like me!!!
April 17th, 2009
1:09 pm
JJ, my mom used to say that to us. My sister now has one who is just like her– a total handful. I have to just shake my head and think about how smart my mom is!
No use using good tequila on a frozen margarita. I like to split my frozen margarita with sangria. Yummy! It's tasty and festive.
April 17th, 2009
1:21 pm
JJ – I can do that. We actually have a lot in common.
April 17th, 2009
1:30 pm
One of these days we need a meet and greet and see the faces behind the blogging……I think Lynn and I would be fast friends!!!! And I have a visual of everyone else……..
The other thing my dad used to say "if you lay with dogs you will get fleas", but my all time favorite – "What did you learn?" Oh wait – "You are responsible for your own actions, and your actions have consequences". I use that one all the time with my daughter!!!!!
April 17th, 2009
1:41 pm
I think i've overused "I told you so" way too many times. My daughter is just like me too and sometimes that's not such a good thing. We definately don't cross paths in the mornings!
April 17th, 2009
2:11 pm
What about "shut the door, do you think you're heating/cooling the entire neighborhood?"
April 17th, 2009
2:16 pm
"You will pay the piper (or fiddler)" I hated hearing that….I think I am still paying him too!

** Stand on the shoulders of giants!
From: Ohad Rodeh of IBM Haifa Research Labs
B-trees are used by many file-systems to represent files and directories. They provide guarantied
logarithmic time key-search, insert, and remove. File systems like WAFL and ZFS use shadowing,
or copy-on-write, to implement snapshots, crash-recovery, write-batching and RAID. Serious
difficulties arise when trying to use b-trees and shadowing in a single system.
B-trees [R. Bayer and E. McCreight 1972],
Prefix B-Trees by RUDOLF BAYER and KARL UNTERAUER,
Deletion Without Rebalancing in Multiway Search Trees,
and more,

The K-D-B-Tree: A Search Structure for Large Multidimensional Dynamic Indexes by John T. Robinson,

) are used by
several file systems
[A. Sweeny et al. 1996; S. Best 2002; J. Menon et al. 2003; H.Reiser ] to represent files and directories.
Compared to

more, Mechanics of Disk Access, Design and Implementation of the Second Extended Filesystem
b-trees offer guaranteed logarithmic time key-search, insert and remove. Furthermore, b-trees can represent sparse files well.
Shadowing is a technique used by file systems like WAFL [D. Hitz et al. 1994] and
ZFS [V. Henson et al. 2003] to ensure atomic update to persistent data-structures.
It is a powerful mechanism that has been used to implement snapshots, crashrecovery, write-batching, and RAID. The basic scheme is to look at the file system as a large tree made up of fixed-sized pages. Shadowing means that to update an on-disk page, the entire page is read into memory, modified, and later written to disk at an alternate location.
When a page is shadowed its location on disk changes, this creates a need to update (and shadow) the immediate ancestor of the page with the new address. Shadowing propagates up to the file system root. We call this kind of shadowing strict to distinguish it from other forms of shadowing [J. Gray and A. Reuter 1993].
Figure 1 shows an initial file system with root A that contains seven nodes. After leaf node C is modified a complete path to the root is
shadowed creating a new tree rooted at A'. Nodes A, B, and C become unreachable and will later on be deallocated.

9 notes &
Discrete mathematics is a vast topic, but here are some essential things that you should know to be able to solve programming contest problems:
- Counting : You are going to see a lot of problems like "Count the number of ways to do X". In most of the cases, enumerating all possible ways is simply not going to work, and you are expected to use some kind of dynamic programming. To be able to solve counting problems properly, you need to have a good understanding of certain topics such as:
- Recurrence relations : Ubiquitous in counting problems. In particular, learn to come up with recurrences for counting. Also, learn to convert recurrences of high complexity to lower complexity
- Matrix exponentiation : In the case of recurrences that have constant coefficients, it is possible to express the final state vector as the product of the power of a matrix and the initial state vector. A good example is calculating Fibonacci numbers using matrix multiplication. This trick helps to reduce the complexity of finding Nth term of some recurrences from O(N) to O(Log N)
- Binomial coefficient: Many counting problems with symmetries can be reduced to finding a few cases and multiplying them with some binomial coefficients. So learn to calculate these efficiently depending on the type of problem. There are different kinds of precomputations one does. Also, try to learn the properties of binomial coefficients modulo primes.
- Pigeonhole principle: More of a proof-aid technique rather than something that you directly apply. But I have used this in cases where I was required to find two cases which share some property. Birthday attack can be thought of as the probabilistic variant of pigeonhole principle, but it is not that commonly used.
- Inclusion–exclusion principle : How to formalise dealing with double counting. It is sometimes so much easier to double count in the beginning and use inclusion-exclusion later than to try some double counting avoiding recurrence
- Subsets and Permutations : Learn to generate subsets of a set and permutations of a sequence. There are some counting problems where you are expected to sum up quantities over permutations or subsets. DP over subsets is something that you should learn too in this regard.
- Indistinguishable and distinguishable objects : Learn the difference, and learn how counting changes between the two cases.
- Lattice problems : Counting the number of ways to go between two points on a lattice with various kinds of restrictions is a very common problem. Learn the basic method, and how things like binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers appear in the solutions.
- Counting on graphs : The questions of this type that I have seen commonly include tree DPs. Counting problems on non-tree graphs are usually hard. You see problems coming up based on Kirchhoff's theorem once in a while too.
- Pólya enumeration theorem : I have seen this coming up in contests only a couple of times. But learn this and if something comes up, it should be easy for you.
- Learn to work with moduli : Most of the times, you are asked to do the counting mod some big prime (most favourite is 10^9 +7). Learn to do the calculations without overflow, and learn some basic properties of primes from group theory which help solve some problems.
- Probability and Expectation value : Here are the basic things you should know:
- Calculating probabilities as ratios of counting problems : Do this and you can calculate things to very good accuracy
- Recurrences for probabilities and expectation values : In a lot of cases, even when you can count and take ratios to get probabilities, it is much easier to find a recurrence directly in terms of probabilities. Taking care of double counting can be a pain though
- Linearity of expectation value : Learn to use it right (I can't) and many expectation value problems should be cakewalks for you
- Random walk: Modified random walk problems come up very often as probability/expectation value problems, so learn the basic results
- Coin toss problems : Another set of practically overused problems

There are several myths about success:
1. Hard working entrepreneur pulls himself up by his bootstraps, works hard at an original idea for a few years, and becomes a hugely successful businessman. But there are many hard working entrepreneurs who never make it.
2. Born into the right family with the right connections and a fancy college education, an heir or heiress parlays their grandfather's business into a huge multi-billion dollar company. But there are many people born into money that lose or squander it all.
3. Lucky all her life, she got all the right breaks, and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. But not everyone is lucky 100 percent of the time.
What if none of these were true? What if all of them were true? What if success was a unique combination of luck, skill, talent, common sense, family connections, family history, determination, perseverance, and more? What if there was no one single factor?
In Outliers: The Story of Success one of the most delightful books I've read in a long, long time, author Malcolm Gladwell outlines the way people from The Beatles to the Hatfields and the McCoys to a struggling family in Jamaica become successful, or don't become successful (in the case of the feud). More importantly, he argues that the complete story of success, the real underlying story, is much more complex and surprising than anyone wants to believe.
Bills in the computer lab
For example, Bill Gates might have just been another successful banker in Seattle if it hadn't been for how close he lived to The University of Washington. In the University's computer lab, young Bill Gates was able to spend thousands of hours on one of the most advanced computers in the country and was tutored by someone Gates describes as "knowing more about programming than anyone he'd ever met."
Another Bill, Bill Joy (the TRUE father of the Internet) had a similar experience hundreds of miles away in Michigan. He was able, through a programming error, to spend thousands of hours on the University of Michigan's computer system (the same type Gates learned on). Presented with the opportunity to learn everything he could, Joy gave up football, girls, cars, and the typical high school life to learn how computers worked and how to network them. Later he went on to write the architecture language for what would become the World Wide Web, write code Macintosh computers, and found Sun Microsystems. There, he wrote another computer language that you're using today – Java. Bill Joy is called "the Edison of the Internet."
These two people share something in common with another legend — The Beatles. Seven years before their explosion on the American stage, John Lennon and Paul McCartney had been playing together in clubs in London and Hamburg, Germany. It was in Hamburg in particular where the former high school rock band really came together. According to John Lennon, they had never really played together for more than an hour or so, but in Hamburg, they would play for 8 hours straight! They played 7 days a week (maybe it was 8 days a week) until 12:30 in the morning, pushing themselves to ever dizzying heights of musical competence, even perfection.
10,000 hours
Can you guess what these three examples have in common? Self discipline. Commitment. Practice. Lots and lots of practice. TONS of practice. Malcolm Gladwell theorizes that the magic number at which someone really STARTS becoming proficient, even and expert is … ten thousand hours. That's a one with four zeros after it. Ironically, Gates, Joy, and the Beatles, in subsequent interviews talking about how much time they spent on their passion, the number 10,000 hours of practice keeps coming up. Bill Joy has used that exact number in interviews when he discusses how much time he spent programming by his sophomore year at Berkley.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Practice makes perfect. No. Not necessarily. In one of the more unusual twists in the story of success, Gladwell examines when programming geniuses were born and finds that there was a bit of luck involved. Had Gates or Joy been born just 5 years later, they would have been too late on the scene to succeed in the computer revolution. Had they been born just five years sooner, they would probably have been too busy with a wife, kids, a job, and life in general to have spent those kinds of hours on computers. Success has more than just one factor.
And that's how Gladwell draws the reader in. The factors of success are so varied, at one time infinitesimally minute, yet so incredibly important, that there isn't just one set rule for success.
Gladwell pulls back the covers on the real life story of a genius and shows why being the smartest person in the room isn't always the path to success. Perhaps "practical" knowledge DOES beat book smarts and he demonstrates why. In later chapters, he examines "the ethnic theory of plane crashes," and discovers that where you were born could determine your propensity to be involved in a commercial jetliner crash. Where you're born, indeed, where your grandparents were born, could have an influence on whether or not you become involved in a fatal family feud. And how does the cultivation of a rice paddy help Asian students develop the self discipline to get better math grades? Could it really be that the best hockey players are born between January and March?
I could go on and on singing the praises of this book. Well written, engaging, and intriguing, Gladwell gives us hope because success isn't out of our reach because of our IQ or our family connections, or our personal history. The lives of the "outliers," those whose measure of success is way beyond the norm, have been influenced by more than just who they were. Where they lived, where they were from, and what they had been up to had a huge influence on their success as well. The biggest component of success is the willingness to seize an opportunity when it presents itself and put in the time and effort to immerse yourself in it.
Buy or Don't Buy?
I give this book an unqualified BUY. This is one that I don't plan to give away! If you cannot afford to purchase one, check with your local library to see if they would be willing to buy one or get one from another library through an inter-library loan

text: But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Kolkata - A Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Monday questioned the presence of leaders like former MP Laxman Seth, arrested for alleged involvement in the 2007 Nandigram violence, in the party.
"I don't know how these leaders like Laxman Seth have entered a Communist party. Leaders like them should have never been inducted in the party. They don't deserve to be a member of a Communist party," said Abdul Rezzak Mollah who is also the chief whip of CPI-M in the assembly.
Mollah, a state committee member of CPI-M, said he had always maintained distance from leaders like Seth in the party.
"They (Seth) were all high profile leaders. They were leaders of 440 volts.... I am a leader of 220 volts. So I used to maintain a safe distance from them," he said.
However, the CPI-M has already decided to stand behind Seth.
"Law will take its own course. There are a lot of cooked up cases. The nature of this case will be determined through the legal process. We will definitely provide legal help," CPI-M state secretary Biman Bose had said.
Seth was among the 88 people named in the charge sheet filed Jan 30 in relation to the death of six villagers and disappearance of seven others after armed clashes in Nandigram in West
Bengal's East Midnapore in November 2007.
He, along with CPI-M leaders Ashok Guria and Amiya Sahoo, were Monday brought to Kolkata from Mumbai by a special CID team which had arrested the trio from Chembur area March 17
after a tip-off.

Bob creates saddles that compliment and facilitate what has generally become known as the theory of natural horsemanship. Bob was fortunate to be born and raised in northeastern Oregon, part of the western United States that produced some of the founding fathers of this movement. The Dorrance and Wade ranching families (after whom the Wade tree was named) were legends in my home county. As a boy, Bob had the honor to ride in their shadows.

How it Ranks: Hyatt Regency Trinidad ranks #1 out of 29 Trinidad & Tobago Hotels based on an evaluation of expert ratings and awards, as well as user reviews. The hotel scored high enough to make the U.S. News list of the Best Hotels in Trinidad & Tobago.
- #1 in Best Trinidad & Tobago Hotels
- #9 in Hyatt Group Hotels & Resorts
- #8 in Hyatt Hotels
Our Take: Boasting striking views of the Caribbean Sea from its seat in central Port of Spain, the Hyatt Regency Trinidad earns high praise from recent guests. For some travelers, the hotel's fresh seafood served at The Waterfront Restaurant and the Infinity Pool Bar were right on the mark; for others, the comfortable hotel guest rooms (sleekly designed in neutral tones and equipped with 32-inch LCD TVs and iPod docking stations) made their stay memorable. Though the Hyatt Regency Trinidad boasts ample amenities for business travelers, the hotel takes care of vacationers too, with an outdoor pool overlooking the harbor, the Spa Esencia and Hyatt's StayFit gym. And because this Trinidad hotel is part of the Hyatt clan, Gold Passport holders can rack up or redeem rewards here.

I really loved the pork tenderloin. The flavors were incredible and the meat was very tender. I did not like the sauce and was disappointed with it's taste. Adding sugar to it might have made it better but it found it's way down the drain. I would make the pork again for a weekday meal or even for company. I did make a few changes: used panko breadcrumbs and fresh sage. I ended up putting the meat in the oven to finish cooking while my roasted carrots and potatoes finished their last ten minutes of cooking. The pork is a must try though!

The sauce is a 5-star winner but I decided I prefer not to have my pork breaded. I have since used the sauce on grilled pork chops, substituting strawberry preserves, and that was also wonderful.
