What are Learning Disabilities? Can children with learning disabilities learn?
Does your child have a learning disability? If so, do you know exactly what having a learning disability means in relation to your child's learning? Probably the most important thing to realize about learning disabilities is that it means your child CAN learn. He may even be intellectually gifted and have a learning disability.
A child may also have a low IQ, but he is not "mentally impaired" if he is diagnosed with a learning disability. This is very important for you to know because many times a child with a learning disability is treated as if he cannot learn, but being able to learn is a fundamental difference between being diagnosed as mentally impaired versus having a learning disability. Even then, children who are diagnosed as mentally impaired have an ability to learn as well.
I believe every child CAN learn if taught according to the child's learning style using multi-sensory instruction, and at his or her own learning pace. Not every child will be able to learn Algebra or understand British Literature, but most children can learn to read, write, and perform basic math calculations.
So, what exactly is a learning disability? The IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), defines Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) as "a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia."
According to the IDEA federal laws, Specific Learning Disabilities are NOT "learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage." [34 Code of Federal Regulations §300.7(c)(10)]
In other words, learning disabilities are NOT caused by a physical area of interference with learning, which would include ocular motor deficiencies (requiring vision therapy), Attention deficits (requiring medication), bipolar disorder (requiring medication), scotopic sensitivity (requiring colored glasses or pages), etc. Learning disabilities are neurological in origin and cannot be medicated or treated by some external device such as glasses, hearing aids, augmented speech devices, etc.
A child with learning disabilities may have difficulty with short-term memory (holding information in his head long enough to manipulate it or work with it), long-term memory (getting info into storage for access at a later time), executive functioning (planning, sequencing, organizing, etc.), memory recall, a slow processing speed when thinking, difficulty in reading (dyslexia), math (dyscalculia), writing (dysgraphia), etc.
There are so many possibilities for difficulties, which makes it difficult for you to determine where your child's problem lies through observation. You may be able to determine your child has difficulty conveying what he has learned, but you won't be able to observe the neurological processes in his brain to see whether the difficulty is an information retrieval problem, a long-term memory problem, a communication-based problem, etc. Therefore, it is immensely helpful to have an independent neuropsychological evaluation by a qualified practitioner to determine the root causes of your child's learning struggles. It's virtually impossible to actually overcome your child's learning difficulties if you don't know the root causes of his neurological difficulties. If you have the specifics on your child's areas of difficulty, you can target programs to meet his or her specific learning needs.
Having an evaluation can also help you know your child's strengths and how to teach your child. The Learning Abled Kids' website provides information on various disabilities, but always keep in mind that this is not professional advice and no one can 'evaluate' your child without individualized testing and working with your child. The information provided here can be helpful, but you must always keep in mind–Your child is uniquely gifted with his strengths and weaknesses, so it is up to you to have your child evaluated to determine how to precisely meet his needs.

The, "Stop the QQ" comments are old and tired. The truth is if I have played the game long enough to qualify for the Annual Pass, I more than likely know how to play most classes at least passably. Now we have 90 levels to bring new toons up through and the fact is that's a ton of investment to give up if I want to try a different server and faction without spending $55. Blizz said they were working on ways to get people closer to the end game and I hope this is not the end of that brainstorm. A boost for people who have max level toons to the previous expansion's max level would not be unreasonable. Especially after most of us already have four max level toons and questing content, while fairly quick, is still stale. When I can recite quest text to my wife while she is doing a quest I am not on, I think I've done the questing game enough.

Myth: Our ancestors' stories celebrated the spiritual power concentrated in woman's belly. They personified the source energy that is centered within us as a mythic beingas a goddess, an aspect of the Sacred Feminine.
A Greek myth recorded in the seventh century BCE, for example, presents the belly goddess as Baubo. Baubo is the belly-baring woman who plays the central role in Demeter's search for her daughter.
In this myth, Demeter's separation from her daughter, Persephone, begins when Persephone's father Zeus helps his brother Hades to abduct the maiden. Hades steals Persephone into the underworld and rapes her.
Having lost her daughter, Demeter is devastated. She doesn't know where to look for Persephone, nor does she have the will to search. She loses hope. In her grief, she stops the crops from growing. The supply of food dwindles; starvation nears. The world is barren and drab.
Demeter arrives at Eleusis, utterly dispirited. Baubo steps up to her; she dances in front of Demeter and tells her bawdy jokes. Most accounts call her jokes "obscene." I suspect that they were the kind of rowdy jokes we tell each other with glee.
And Demeter laughs. Mirth breaks through Demeter's despair; she soon resolves to resume her search for Persephone. Demeter's laughter gives her the guts to seek and ultimately reclaim her daughter. As she does so, abundant life returns to earth.
Lifting her skirt, baring her belly and revealing her vulva, Baubo is cunctipotentthe old word for demonstrating womanly, generative power. Baubo demonstrates to Demeter the center they share, returning the goddess to her own center of being. Demeter sees Baubo's belly, and she remembers who she is.
The belly-baring woman occurs not only in Greek legend but also in the Egyptian story of Isis and her lover Osiris. As Isis is mourning her lover's death, Baubo lifts her skirt to dispel the goddess's incapacitating grief. Like Baubo, women of ancient Egypt lifted their skirts and displayed their vulvas as a ritual gesture invoking the Sacred Feminine.
In Japanese myth, Uzume plays a role similar to Baubo's in relation to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Frightened and angered by her brother's violent vandalism, Amaterasu retreats into a cave. In the goddess's absence, the rice does not grow; famine approaches. Uzume gathers a crowd and dances a bawdy, skirt-lifting jig at the opening of Amaterasu's cave. The goddess hears the crowd's drumming and laughter and, curious, she steps out of her cave to investigate. Drawn back into the world by Uzume's joking and dancing, Amaterasu's presence regenerates the fields and the world.
Image: The vulva, the portal to the belly's power, is one of humankind's most ancient images. The first marks humans made to represent the Sacred Feminine are outlines of vulvas etched into the walls of caves in southern France, dating to 30,000 BCE.
The decorative arts of Eastern Europe witness that women have continued to image the vulva as gateway to the belly's energy of regeneration, literally embroidering on the designs that our earliest ancestors engraved in stone. Through the 19th century, one tradition of Eastern European embroidery depicted a female figure with legs spread, her vulva displayed as a diamond or triangle descending between her legs. The designs made by women of Eastern Europe illustrate motifs which have appeared as well for thousands of years in parts of Africa, Asia, the Pacific islands, and North and South America.
In England, Ireland, and Wales in the late Middle Ages, artisans carved Sheila-Na-Gigsfigures of squatting women holding their vulvas open wideinto the stone arches framing church windows and entryways. Similar figures occur both in the temples of India and in cathedrals throughout Europe. They define the entrance to and protect sacred space; by analogy, their vulvas are the doorway, their bellies are the sanctuary within.
Most of the Sheila-Na-Gigs have been chiseled off, defaced, buried or destroyed. Likewise, Baubo and woman's belly have been desecrated.
Word: The "gig" within "Sheila-Na-Gig" relates to the English gig and jig, and to the French gigue. The evolution of the word and its relations is instructive; the word's evolution parallels the patriarchal process of devaluing women and de-meaning the spiritual power of our sexual energy.
The source of "gig" may be the title of priestesses in ancient Sumeria; women serving within the temple were named nu-gig, meaning "the pure," "the spotless." A more recent root is the Middle English gigg, meaning both something that whirlsa spinning top, a whirligigand a giddy girl. In its archaic usage, "gig" means a joke or whim, also a person of odd or grotesque appearance.
Related to "gig," the words giglet and giglot name a silly, frivolous girl and also a lascivious, wanton woman. Gigolette means both "a girl who frequents public dances" and "prostitute," equating the two. The French "gigue" refers to the dancing that, before the imposition of Christianity, was sexually expressive, wildly unrestrained. Gigue's somewhat tamer English relation, jig, is a lively dance in triple rhythm, an up-and-down figure marking the vertical axis that remains steady within a spin. A "jig" is also a joking song, and the comic relief that occurs in the middle or at the end of a play.
They speak of women dancing, spinning in circles, ecstatically, erotically, their sexual energy unleashed, laughing uproariously. Their dancing, their comedy, is akin to Baubo's bawdy dancing and joking before Demeter.
As patriarchy has proceeded to devalue women and de-mean women's erotic life force, "gig" has become a label for a child's toy, an ugly old hag, a whore, a bimbo. And as patriarchy has proceeded to eliminate women's ways of powermost blatantly by executing nearly nine million wisdom-keepers in Europe alone in the 15th through 17th centuriesmany traditions of women's belly-honoring, belly-energizing dance have been lost and forgotten.
In current usage, "gig" has taken on the notion of event, or action in the worldas in "I have a gig tonight." The word also means "purpose"; for example, the minister of the church I attend often asks the congregation "What's your gig?" Now our gig is to look to other continentsto the Middle East, Asia, India, Africa-for the gut-stirring, sensual, earthy dance forms we crave.
When we dance, when we whirl, when we laugh with the energy that upwells from our bellies, we are enacting the impulse that is embedded in our bones, our muscles, our breathan impulse as ancient as human consciousness. We are spinning in time, out of time, with Baubo, the belly goddess.

I'm kind of moderate. I use omen, cartographer, auctioneer and all of that stuff, fubar (with some very convenient stuff, some completely useless) and anything that I think could be useful.
However, purists are in for a lot of good things soon. With WOTLK, there will be a threatmeter, and something like DBM. Now, I don't like the concept of a DBM built in, because it takes away the element of suprise when people first play an encounter. Hopefully when they say that, they mean they will be adding in more boss yells, like one that is 30 seconds before something happens, one 10, then one of them 1 second before it happens. Or maybe a different log for boss yells, like a chat log, combat log, boss log.

Just compared the exact same recording on a Vinyl with one of the best 24bit CD players on the market with the man who mastered them both and there was no comparison… The vinyl was so warm and three dimensional and lifelike… My body was relaxed and happy. The CD was noticeably more thin and brittle sounding and it made my body feel tense and I honestly couldn't wait for it to stop. Case closed for me: Analog is much preferred. Now we're comparing Mono and Stereo… Wow. Life is beautiful… (Taken with instagram)

Inspiration: Europe's Laundry Lines Revisited
Good for the environment, your electricity bill, and the life of your clothing, line drying your laundry has its benefits. I've marveled at the brave laundry lines in Venice, Italy that hang clean clothes over the dirty canal water…
Do you line dry your laundry? Why or why not? If you don't have a clothing line over a canal to hand dry your laundry, you can consider a drying rack for your kitchen or bathroom (see links below).

Funny story: A friend from school studied in Spain for two years. She line dried her laundry all the time since they didn't have access to a dryer. One day she hung a pair of jeans up and ran it out. After they dried a huge wind came up and the jeans literally flew for three blocks and ended up in the top of a tree. She eventually got them back thanks to a little help.
Clothes drying the way nature intended! And to think that some communities have banned this practice... shame on them.
I love line drying my laundry for many reasons. I like the smell, the crispness, the stain removing that the sun does, the energy savings, the fact that it forces me outside when I might otherwise be doing something inside the house. I have even started line drying my towels and then put the in the dryer to fluff for just a few minutes to get rid of that "crunchy" effect.
Have always, always line dried. I much prefer it, and there's something lovely about line dried clothes. On wet days I try not to do laundry, but if I do I dry on a small rack inside. The house I live in now is the first without a hills hoist, which took some getting used to, but now have my system all worked out!
I've made a lot of indoor line-drying space and use it frequently.
I never owned a dryer, I've always line dried: it is ecological, cheap, healthy and funny. In some italian historical city centres it is also folkloristic. The problem is only in some winter months, when sun is lacking. Then I hang my stuff at evening inside on a drying rack, near a radiator or near the fireplace, and in the morning all is dry.
I have lines in my basement and line dry all my clothes. I haven't used my dryer in months. I'd love to get an outdoor clothesline installed.
I caught a Morrocan washing line on a trip a few years ago, it was really beautiful: http://annabelvita.com/moroccan-summer
My Hubs and I live in a very inefficient place,but since rent is so low it evens out price wise, but living in Austin ,TX we have had weather in the 100s for over 2 months now. I have decided to line dry our cloths to see if it would bring down our energy bill. We have a huge balcony which worked out great, and it is hidden by a tree so people can't even see our clothes. So far, I have loved it! It takes about 2 hours for anything even jeans to dry because of the heat. Also, everything is a little bit more stiff,but I have a lot less ironing to do. Give it a try, I love it and find it very relaxing now!
That "crunchy" and stiffness you guys are feeling is soap. Literally, soap. Store bought detergents don't rinse out all the way. To combat that, use vinegar as a fabric softener and use HE detergent. Or make your own!
I live in an apartment and can't line dry outside, but do set up a good old wooden rack in my 2nd bedroom in front of a big window. I machine dry my sheets and towels (not enough room to hang them) but a lot of my clothes go on the rack.
Grew up with line drying, can't imagine not doing it. Sure I do use the dryer, I can't stand crunchy towels, but I dry many thing in 'plein aire'. I have a wall mounted foldable, a floor standing foldable (which was my Mom's when she was in college in the mid50s!) and a collapsible umbrella type for outside that I can bring inside when it get too windy.
DovieAnn, I don't think the crunchiness is soap. It might be if too much is used or if the washing machine is not performing well, but mostly it's due to the fabric fibers aligning with gravity when they dry. Or at least that's what my old physics professor said it was.
I don't own a dryer..small space and no outlet for it...but I'm thankful. I've only ever line dried (or woodstove dried) and the towels are just fine..if they are a little rough, its great for exfoliating!! Dryers are just unnecessary for most of us.
Technically, I could line dry (at least for 8 months in a year) but I don't. Although I hate the energy consumption and that it's not Earth-friendly, I love the convenience and the fact that I don't need to iron. ANYTHING.
But the main reason why I stick to a dryer is my 2 dogs who shed 365 days a year. I would never get the all the dog hair off my clothes as efficiently as a dryer does. Anybody who sees what a huge pile of dog hair I remove from the lint trap after each cycle understands.
line drying is the best, so is making your own pasta, however lack of personal time in this 21st century life can make these tasks impractical.
the dryers are not heard of on the other side of the world, or maybe I should correct myself some ppl try to get Americanized and pay so much money to get one. Majority of the apt have balconies and ppl dry their clothes in the open air, and if they do not have balcony or a terrace, they hang ropes from one bldg to the other (see photo#3). It is a common practice.
Here in Australia line-drying is the norm. A lot of us also have lines under cover when necessary. I do still use the dryer when it's pouring rain, or something isn't washed that's needed the next day (teenagers). And I prefer line-dried crunchy towels to dryer-dried ones!
I love line drying. We do some, but not as much as I would like. We have a double line stretched between the house and the garage, and it holds 1-2 loads of laundry. We have three kids (one in cloth diapers) though, and while they love playing outside while we're hanging and folding, I don't know how we would ever keep up with the laundry if we had to hang it all.
I wish I could line dry more often. I live in a foggy neighborhood of San Francisco, so sunny days for line drying are few. It's a bummer since the yard in the place we're renting already has the drying line up!
My condo rules forbid any hanging of laundry, towels, planters, bird feeders. They even forbid welcome mats and anything that detracts from the uniform look of each unit. I air dry in my bathroom and it works just fine. I wish I could ask my building if I could install a laundry line on the roof deck but that would probably not sit well with the designers on the condo board.
This comment will come from Europe, Finland to be more accurate. Why I line dry is mainly because I don't live in a humid climate. Especially at wintertime the air dries out because of the heating and the drying laundry brings in the much needed humidity. The clothes will be dry in a few hours. On summer I line dry outside, especially linen, I love the smell. But I do understand people in humid climates that use dryers, it's not nice to wait few days for the laundry to dry.
I have a retractable clothes line on the outdoor patio, one in the garage, and I use several clothing racks in my office to line-dry clothes. If I use a machine to dry everything, I have to replace my clothing too often.
It's all fun and games and quaint photos until someone hangs up an entire line of still-dirty drawers by your balcony.
My mother used clothes lines all the time when we were kids in fact the whole neighbourhood did. You can't beat the fresh smell of clothes dried in the sun/wind not to mention the beauty of seeing them flap about.
I always line dry either outside or inside. Dryer sheets are highly toxic and the skin absorbs them all. Think about it. Line drying is best on every level.
I hand wash almost all my clothes in the kitchen sink and dry them either on the line in the backyard or else on my laundry rack. There are many benefits and very few drawbacks!
hard to line dry in nyc, but always jealous of those that are able to, especially when we go abroad. though i'm not sure i'd do it in venice, especially in the summer!
I live in Germany, do have a dryer, but also line dry. E.g. heavy towls or bath mats are in the dryer for ca. 10 minutes to soften and shed the cat's hair, then I hang them on a rack. I take a lot of clothes out of the dryer after 15 minutes when they are wrinkle free and put them on hangers or on the rack in front of an open window.
In summer it's so hot and dry that my sheets can dry in less than an hour on the clothesline.
I don't understand people who use the dryer first and linedry after. That makes no sense. Linedry first, and then put into the dryer to fluff, soften, dewrinkle and trap animal hair.
We bought a whirligig for the backyard last year, using it every single wash day. Clothes come out wonderfully, but the big win is bed linens. The freshness and smell cannot be beat.
Family did this when I was a kid, wish I could do it now, but in apt,so can't. I may wash up to 12 pcs occasionally (usually undies) and hang them on the shower rod. They dry overnight; all is well. but nothing replaces that outdoor freshness.
Wouldn't risk my clothes over that filthy canal water!
I have grown up with hand washed and line dried clothes. We own a washing machine now, but still line dry the clothes. You simply cannot beat the crispness. A little sunshine is essential.. even for the clothes.
Aqua1959: you'll see the benefits after years of hand washing your laundry, nice things like the condition of the skin of your hands, or rheumatisms, arthritis...
I'm also wondering if you wash your laudry in a river or canal to save on the water bill, like it was done in the past.
I don't care how wonderful my clothes can look after a hand washing, I want to save my hands and my menthal health (using the time spent to hand wash laudry in a better way).
Line-drying is something I've always done in Italy, until I've found out that you don't need to iron if you use a tumble-dryer... Plus, there are places when it takes ages to clothes to dry and if you have a small house maybe you don't want your laundry all spread around....
My mother almost always used a clothes line when I was growing up, however, we had so much pollen and dust that I was always fighting allergies. Even now, I prefer a higher utility bill to taking decongestants daily. I'd consider having a rack inside my house to dry clothing, but I haven't bought one (yet) :)
Growing up in Brooklyn we had a clothes line that we used all the time. They would dry and smell sunny, warm, and a little salty like the beach. I live in Manhattan now and I wouldn't hang a sock out my window. My sils get so black with soot any clean clothes wouldn't be so clean after.
I always thought I would like to line dry my laundry until very recently. My husband contracted a superbug and was very sick. I have had to chlorine bleach everything in my home and much of our home is ruined because of it. On load number two of my trying to combat this disaster the dryer broke and I had to wait three weeks for a new washer and dryer to arrive. That was three weeks of my trying to line dry things around the house because we can't do it outside. Don't ask me how either but dryer racks are scarce around here and I couldn't find any locally without needing to order online. I had to time washing of sheets and comforters to hang them in the bathroom, the towels were jokingly called towel boards and jeans were a stiff nightmare. this girl appreciates her new dryer more than words can say.
When I got married 3 years ago, I moved to Vienna, Austria to be with my husband. Gave up the microwave, the clothes dryer, the air con, and the car. Lived that way for 3 years. Now that we have a 2nd apartment in Philadelphia -- in the process of moving back -- I can't tell you how much of a joy it is to have a dryer again: Clothes on demand, instead of waiting for an indeterminate amount of time for things to finish drying. Soft clothes. Removal of hairs and furry bits that get stuck to clothes (like from wool blankets). Fewer wrinkles. Most importantly, I noticed that a lot of my clothes started to fall apart by stretching over in no-dryer-land… I now believe that the heat of the dryer contracts the fibers so the clothes last longer. Maybe not for ALL clothes, but definitely for the tshirts and things I wear on a regular basis. So good to be home!
maybe off subject but I live near the Amish in PA and I always love seeing their laundry lines. There's some cool pictures at http://amishphoto.com/images/19_laundry_lines/laundry_lines_01.htm
I'm currently using an ikea drying rack but that's mostly because I have my automated kitty litter cleaner in the space where my dryer should go.
Not having to scoop vs. waiting almost 12-18 hours for my clothes to dry?
I'll pick not having to deal with poo any day!
I live in North Brooklyn where most apartment buildings have HUGE rusty towers in the backyards with pulleys running up it- 2 per floor- 1 for each apartment in the building. These towers used to be used to run laundry lines from each apartment- but no one uses them anymore and the lines have mostly been taken down.
I once tried to restring the line and dry my clothes outdoors- but the neighborhood I live in is very industrial and busy- with LOTS of dust in the air. When I brought them in I had to wash them all over again.
It's a nice thought though
I line dry most of our clothes inside. Our clothes last forever. The colors stay vibrant.
I've never owned a dryer and have only ever used them when travelling and maybe four times in the last 15 years - when it was winter and I was desperate (I have a laundrette around the corner from me). These days I have an internal rack that stands in the bath-tub. With the winter heating going, it works a treat.
As for the "crunchy" effect on towels, a couple of suggestions:
a) You only need to use half the recommended dosage of detergent
b) Before hanging, give each towel a good shake. Do the same when taking down from the line. It fluffs them up nicely.
Bejeweled, I turn all my clothes inside out (except socks and undies) before I line dry then. It means that the insides fade but the outsides stay good.
I've lived in Italy for a while and used my room to dry my clothes. Once an italian friend visited me and was totally horrified by the sight of humid clothes in my clothes. In Italy it is considered highly unhealthy to have any source of humidity in the house. Therefore they hang their clothes outside perforce.
(Maybe it stems from the times when there was no heating in the houses, so the humidity would only increase the cold dampness that was already in the rooms?
Sorry. I meant room, not clothes in the fourth line of my last post.
I loathe using a dryer. Makes my electricity bill sky high... but my apartment block doesn't care for the aesthetic of drying on the balcony... boo to them! :(
@jlw0001, I loved the pics, tks :)
Habits are just different from place to place
In Portugal we have dryers but don't "abuse" their usage, maybe during winter for sheets and towels
The rest of the time just use the rack and don't even think "I could be saving time with the dryer"
I guess that in our short winter we just miss the in feeling of sundried clothes

I didn't find it too difficult either, but I don't think that's the point. I'm working on my bg achievements now since they're pretty much the only solo thing I can still work on...
And the effect this achievement has on BGs is pretty staggering. As alliance, I'm able to win WSG much more often but that's only because most BGs have both full teams standing around guarding the flag.
My strategy has turned into, standing next to the horde speed buff and waiting for it to pop. Then sprinting and grabbing their flag, hitting cloak of shadows, and sprinting back down the tunnel.
I can usually get about halfway home before I'm caught by 10 angry horde foster parents. Occasionally I can make it to our tunnel where I'm home free but my team will all be standing around doing nothing the whole time.

-- Former Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School and Ohio State shooting guard David Lighty confirmed he will play for Brooklyn's summer-league team in Orlando. Lighty's team in Paris, JSF Nanterre, won the French Pro A LNB championship last season. -- One player who seemed to make some sense with the Cavs was veteran swingman Mike Dunleavy, especially considering their void at small forward. However, he agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal with the Bulls. -- Ex-Ohio State center Dallas Lauderdale, who played at Solon High School, will play for Portland's summer-league team.

Donald Driver announces new achievement awardsPosted by on April 23, 2013 – 3:09 pm
Former Packers WR Donald Driver announced on Tuesday a new annual awards program to be conducted through his foundation. Called "Donald Driver's Driven to Achieve Awards," they will be presented each year at a ceremony in Milwaukee in partnership with BMO Harris Bank.
The awards will recognize eight individuals each year, with a minimum of five winners coming from the state of Wisconsin, for significant contributions to their communities. The inaugural awards will be presented in spring 2014.
"Too often, we as a society focus on the bad things that are happening," Driver said in a press release. "This program is about turning the spotlight around and shining it on the people that work hard every day to make this world a better place."
As stated in the press release, the "Driven to Achieve Awards" are open to all legal residents of the United States who can demonstrate they delivered a clear benefit to their community through volunteerism, mentoring, fundraising or any other not-for-profit means. Award winners will embody leadership, possess a dedication to excellence and will have displayed persistence and tenacity in reaching their organization's goals.
Detailed award criteria and nomination forms can be found at the Donald Driver Foundation website, www.donalddriverfoundation.com.

Good idea but someone is going to sue because you must be a legal resident of the USA. That is what our country has come to. LOVE DD

Found February 07, 2013 on The Nats Blog:
PLAYERS: Gio Gonzalez, Henry Rodriguez, Warren Spahn, Ross Detwiler
TEAMS: Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics
TEAMS: Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics
Throughout the offseason, The Nats Blog will look back at every player's 2012 season to summarize and analyze his performance, and we'll look ahead to his possible role in 2013. We'll go from #1 Steve Lombardozzi all the way to #63 Henry Rodriguez until Spring Training. Enjoy. When the Washington Nationals traded for Gio Gonzalez from the Oakland Athletics, it became the biggest splash of the Nats' 2011 offseason. Nats fans started getting excited about how the rotation was shaping up, and Gio didn't disappoint. Gio led the pack among National League pitchers and commanded respect from opposing batters. He pitched 199.1 innings for the Nationals in 2012, and recorded a 2.89 ERA (sixth in NL), .206 batting average against (first in NL), and 1.13 WHIP (eighth in NL). His 207 strikeouts ranked fourth in the National League, and his 21 wins ranked first. All of these tremendous numbers are what earned him consideration as a Cy Young award finalist. He won Pitcher of the Month for May, when got the win in all five of the games he pitched, and recorded a 2.25 ERA and .156 BAA with 45 strikeouts. In 2012, Gio was also invited to play in the All-Star Game for the second time in his career, and he won the Warren Spahn Award as recognition for being the best left-handed pitcher of the year. He could also easily win MLB's Most Permanent Smile Award if there was such a thing, as the most smiley National brought a great positive energy and sense of humor to the team. After pitching for Oakland in the American League for four years, Gio only had seven career at-bats to his name when he moved to Washington. He didn't have the most success at the plate (he finished with a .094 batting average), however, he did hit his first major league home run and he learned a little something about sliding when running the bases (Watch this and tell me you didn't laugh). Next Year: Gio is signed to a five-year, $42 million contract, with team vesting options for 2017 and 2018, so he can be expected to be showing his smiling face around Washington for many years to come. If he is not subject to disciplinary action from MLB from the ongoing PED investigation he and several other players are involved in, he will pitch second in the rotation for the Nationals. Up Next: #48 Ross Detwiler

Adam Child says:
Track days today are more like race paddocks from a few years ago. Find a KTM RC8R for sale. With club racing turning increasingly professional, brand new race bikes are becoming common.
Enter the KTM RC8R Track... the Austrian firm has witnessed the growing demand for off-the-peg track or race machines and produced this special, track-ready version of its RC8 superbike.

chriswren says:
@shanes no idea who is riding but they seem to be catching up the others, taking them on the outside in the corners instead of cutting in (track newbie special) certainly giving it some with the rev indicator flashing all over the place and the front wheel lifting. The track looks a little sparse and the other riders don't look to be giving it the full beans so might be in with the novices ??

I have done a fair few laps of Donington (probably getting on for a 1000) and there was nothing in that to suggest he didn't know his way around at all, given the traffic. Quite the opposite in fact.

Shanes - are you just looking for a rise or what? Fact is you are talking out yer arse. Nothing wrong with the lines, the speed or the passing on that. I guarantee you wouldn't be quicker on any other bike ever built.
The internet has a lot of answer for...massively over-opinionated nobends like you are a big part of that. Whats that old saying? If you can you do, if you can't then you talk total shit on the internet? Not sure that's the accurate saying but it kind of says what I mean.

A well ridden 1198 would not beat it as it has feel in the front end LMAO (joke by the way!)
That bike was not being "hammered" round that track, fact!
I could not go round any quicker but shanes is more than capable. He does all his riding on track on an RC8R or a motard, on various tracks around the world and has ridden competetively in a motogp support race, and not so long ago either. So, yes, he is qualified to make those comments and would whoop "Chad's" arse on anything.
pearsonsnose seems to be talk about himself.
Lighten up!

Like the RC8, but reckon that the other bikes must have been paid to go slow (or they had never ridden a bike before!!) as this guy on the RC8 seemed about twice as fast; looks like a KTM promo' vid to me!!

When it comes to us guys, we have different words to describe the level of attractiveness of a girl. Two of the most commonly used is "hot" and "cute". Is there a difference between these two words?
Let's start by defining the two words. They both mean certain levels of attractiveness, but it depends on the mindset of the person judging that girl.
Cute, to me, is someone who I consider sweet, and unthreatening. A girl who still looks relatively young.
Hot, to me, is a girl who is sexy and can hold up for herself. A girl who looks older.
These can always be defined differently. Beautiful can be a vamped up version of cute. Sexy can even be its own word to describe attractiveness.
There also seems to be a certain age limit to use these words. You can call a child cute and get away with it, but you will come across as weird if you call them hot.
Like I said, it really comes down to you. You can come up with your own definitions of attractiveness. These are just mine.

I checked the game stats and the last major progressive it paid was the one I got a couple of months ago. It's crazy how both times I have seen this machine the major was ready to chase and the machine was alone. I hope next time I go it's waiting for me again :) Fallen Angels - 5 Reel Video 1¢ Denomination - 40 Lines Line Bet - $0.10 Total Bet - $4.00 Thank you for watching and remember to comment, like and share this video.
