The Moon Help (page 3)
Introduction to the Moon
Earth has countless natural satellites—meteors captured by gravity and orbiting in all manner of elliptical paths. The only natural satellite of significance and the only one that can be detected without powerful observing aids, however, is the Moon. It's interesting that we have never come up with a better name for Earth's Moon; we speak about the moons of Jupiter and the moons of Saturn, and then we call our own Queen of the Night "the Moon." It is as if someone had a daughter and named her "Daughter." Sometimes the Moon is called "Luna," but that name conjures up visions of madness and worship and is not used by astronomers.
Double Planet?
The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers (238,850 miles). Because the Moon's orbit path is roughly elliptical, sometimes it's a little closer, and sometimes it's a little farther away. The Moon's diameter is 27.2 percent that of Earth, roughly 3480 kilometers (2160 miles). That's large for a moon relative to its parent planet. The Earth-Moon system is sometimes considered a double planet, and some astronomers think the pair formed that way. But Earth is 81 times more massive than the Moon, and the Moon has essentially no atmosphere. Thus, in planetary terms, the Moon is a dull place.
Perhaps you have seen drawings of the Earth-Moon system and have come to envision the Moon as much closer to Earth than is actually the case. (The drawings in this chapter, except for Fig. 4-1, are examples of such misleading data.) There is a reason for this distortion. If the Earth-Moon system were always drawn true to scale, the illustration would be of little use for most instructive purposes. Earth is a bit less than 12,800 kilometers (7,930 miles) in diameter, and the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers (237,000 miles) away on average. That's about 30 Earth diameters. If drawn to scale, the Earth-Moon system would look like Fig. 4-1. Think of the Earth and the Moon as pieces of fruit. Suppose that Earth is a 10-centimeter-diameter grapefruit and the Moon is a 27-millimeter-diameter plum (4 inches and 1 inch across, respectively). To make a scale model, you must set the two fruits 3 meters (10 feet) apart.
Period, Perigee, And Apogee
With respect to the Sun, the Moon takes 29½ days to make one orbit around Earth. The exact synodic (sun-based) lunar orbital period varies slightly from one orbit to the next because the orbit of the Moon around Earth is not a perfect circle and the orbit of Earth around the Sun is not a perfect circle either. However, for most amateur astronomers (including us), 29½ days is a good enough figure. Relative to the stars, the Moon's orbit is faster; the sidereal lunar orbital period is about 27 days and 7 hours.
The synodic and sidereal lunar orbital periods differ for the same reason the synodic day is longer than the sidereal day. Every time the Moon makes one trip around Earth, our planet has moved approximately one-twelfth of the way around the Sun. The Moon has to travel further to come into line with the Sun from one orbit to the next than it must travel to come into line again with some distant star (Fig. 4-2).
Have you ever looked at the Moon, especially the full Moon, and imagined it to be closer than you remember previous full Moons to have been? Maybe it's not your imagination. The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical path, with Earth at one focus. The Moon can get as close as 356,000 kilometers (221,000 miles) and as distant as 407,000 kilometers (253,000 miles) from Earth. This is a difference of 13.5 percent of the Moon's mean distance. Sometimes the Moon's disk appears 13.5 percent larger than at other times. This is enough to make a difference, especially when the Moon passes precisely between an observer and the Sun. The Moon's closest approach is the lunar perigee ; this term also applies to the minimum-distance figure. The Moon's furthest retreat is the lunar apogee , a term that also is used in reference to the maximum-distance figure.
As the Moon makes its way around Earth, it keeps the same face toward us, more or less. This is so because the Moon's mass is not uniformly distributed within the globe, and Earth's gravity has managed, over millions of centuries, to tug the Moon's rotation rate into near-perfect lockstep with its revolution. But the Moon still wobbles back and forth a little; it has not completely "settled down." We can see 59 percent of the Moon's surface from Earth if we make enough observations. The wobbling of the Moon's face relative to Earth is called libration (not to be confused with libation).
Libration can give rise to interesting phenomena. For example, when amateur radio operators bounce their signals off the Moon to communicate with their fellows on the opposite side of the world, libration produces multiple signal paths whose lengths vary constantly, making the radio waves add and cancel in a manner so complicated that precise analysis would challenge any computer. The resulting received signals sound like someone babbling or hooting underwater. The wavelengths of light are too short for this effect to be observed visually. If we could see at radio wavelengths, the Moon would seem to sparkle and scintillate as if fireworks were constantly being set off all over its surface.
The appearance of the Moon is drastically affected by its orientation relative to the Sun. When the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are in line or nearly in line, the Moon is said to be new , and its existence is not visually apparent unless there happens to be a solar eclipse. As the Moon orbits Earth, a journey that takes place in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from high above Earth's north pole (Fig. 4-3), it presents more and more and then less and less of its lit-up face to us. Three or four days after the new Moon, it is a waxing crescent . About a week after the new Moon, we see half its globe illuminated by the Sun; this is first quarter . Three or four days after that, most of the Moon is illuminated as we see it; this is waxing gibbous . Two weeks and 18 hours after the new Moon, it is entirely illuminated for us unless a lunar eclipse happens to be taking place. This is the full Moon . Phases proceed in timely fashion after the full Moon through waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent , and finally, back to new again.
Almost nobody lives in this world without getting to know the lunar phases before they get into kindergarten. The waxing crescent is visible just after sunset; the first-quarter Moon can be seen until midnight. The waxing gibbous Moon stays in the sky into the wee hours of the morning, and the full Moon is above the horizon all night, setting as the Sun rises. After the full phase, the waning gibbous Moon rises a couple of hours after sunset; the last-quarter Moon rises around midnight; the waning crescent Moon waits until the predawn hours to rise. Moonset in the waning phases takes place in the daytime, and some people say that there is "no moonset" during this half of the lunar cycle.
Of North And South
Most people envision the Moon's phase-to-phase progress and appearance as seen from the northern hemisphere. This is natural because there are more people living north of the equator than south of it. As far as Earth itself is concerned, however, this is only half the story.
Figure 4-4 shows the way the Moon looks at various stages in its orbit around Earth as seen from a midlatitude northern location such as Kansas City, Missouri, or Rome, Italy. (There is some variance in the tilt, depending on the season of the year; moonrise and moonset occur somewhat north or south of due east or west.) The waxing crescent appears in the southwestern or western sky just after sunset and sets 2 to 4 hours after the Sun. The Moon at first quarter is in the southern sky at sunset, moves generally westward, and sets around midnight. The waxing gibbous Moon is in the southeast at sunset, moves generally westward, and sets in the predawn hours. The full Moon is opposite the Sun, rising at sunset and setting at or near sunrise. The waning gibbous Moon rises some time after sunset and sets after sunrise the next day. The last-quarter Moon rises around midnight and sets around noon. The waning crescent waits until the predawn hours to rise and sets in the afternoon.
Figure 4-5 illustrates the appearance of lunar phases as seen from a midlatitude southern location such as Perth, Australia, or Napier, New Zealand. (As with the northern-hemispheric situation, there is some variance in the Moon's tilt. Depending on the season of the year, moonrise and moonset occur somewhat north or south of due east or west.) The waxing crescent is in the northwestern or western sky just after sunset and sets 2 to 4 hours after the Sun. The Moon at first quarter is in the northern sky at sunset, moves generally westward, and sets around midnight. The waxing gibbous Moon is in the northeast at sunset, moves to the west, and sets a couple of hours before dawn. The full Moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, tracking across the northern half of the sky during the night. The waning gibbous Moon rises shortly after sunset and sets after sunrise the next day. The last-quarter Moon rises at about midnight and sets around noon. The waning crescent rises a couple of hours before dawn and sets in the afternoon.
The Face Of The Moon
When you look at the Moon without the binoculars or a telescope, it's impossible to know much about the true nature of the surface. Before Galileo Galilei and other astronomers began looking at the heavens through "spy glasses" a few hundred years ago, no one could be certain that the terrain was dry, scarred, and lifeless. In fact, the true austerity of the Moon would surprise even the most pessimistic dreamers of old.
The naked-eye Moon, especially the full Moon, has light and dark features. In absolute terms, the whole Moon is a rather dark object; it reflects only a few percent of the solar light that strikes it. If the Moon were as white as snow or powdered sugar, it would shine several times more brightly. Even without the help of telescopes, people long ago surmised that the Moon's light areas represent irregular terrain and the dark regions are flat by comparison. Some people thought the light regions were clouds and the dark zones were areas of clear weather, but after observing the Moon for many nights and seeing that the "clouds" never moved, most people rejected that theory. However, these general ideas were as far as pretelescopic people got. Many people considered the dark areas to be liquid oceans made up of water. They were called maria (pronounced "MAH-ree-uh"), a word that means "seas." To this day, flat plains or plateaus on the Moon have names such as the Sea of Tranquillity and the Sea of Crises . The light areas were assumed to be land masses, but few people supposed they were strewn with mountain ranges and crater fields.
When Galileo and others began looking at the sky with telescopes in the seventeenth century, humanity's ideas did not change overnight, as they might have if our race had been driven more by hunger for knowledge and less by ego, fear, and superstition. People's imaginations were more active in Galileo's day than they had been a few centuries earlier, but they were not quite as daring as we are now. When Galileo announced that the Moon had craters and mountains, his fellow scientists became interested right away, but those who held power over people's lives had other notions. To them, Galileo was a troublemaker, and he was treated as one. He ended up spending his last years under house arrest. It was not a tyrannical government dictator that subjected him to this, but the Pope. Imagine the reaction the Pope would get today if he demanded that some scientist spend the rest of his life under confinement!
The Tides
The Earth-Moon system stays together because of gravitation. Earth pulls on the Moon, keeping it from flying off into interplanetary space. The Moon also pulls on Earth, although we are not aware of it unless we make certain observations. The Moon's gravitational effects vary depending on where in the sky (or beneath the horizon) it happens to be at any given time.
The lunar day is about an hour longer than the synodic day—roughly 25 hours—but the Moon, like the Sun, appears to revolve around any stationary earthbound observer. The effects of gravity propagate through space at the speed of light, some 299,792 kilometers (186,282 miles) per second. This covers the Earth-Moon distance in only a little more than 1 second, so there is essentially no lag between the Moon's position and the direction in which its "tugging" takes place. The Moon's pull is extremely weak compared with the gravitation of Earth at the surface; it is nowhere near enough to affect the reading you get when you stand on a scale and weigh yourself, for example. But this does not mean that the gravitational effect of the Moon can be disregarded, as any ocean beach dweller will attest.
The Moon's gravitation, and to a lesser extent the Sun's gravitation too, cause Earth's oceans to be slightly distorted relative to the solid globe of the planet. When considered to scale, the oceans form a thin, viscous coating on Earth. Even the deepest undersea trenches reach less than 0.2 percent from Earth's surface down to the center, and most of the oceans are far shallower than this. Even so, the depth of the oceans is affected by the combined external gravitational effects of the Sun and the Moon. The effect is greatest when the Sun, the Moon, and Earth are all in line, that is, at the times of new and full Moon. When the Moon is at first or last quarter, its gravitational field acts at right angles with respect to that of the Sun, and the two almost cancel each other out, although the Moon's effect is a little greater than the Sun's.
As Earth rotates under its slightly distorted "coating" of ocean, the level of the sea rises and falls at specific geographic locations. In certain places, the rise and fall is dramatic, and people who live on the shore must take its effects seriously. In other places, these tides are much less extreme. There are two high tides and two low tides during the course of every lunar day; the reason for this can be envisioned by looking at Fig. 4-6. However, these drawings represent an oversimplification. The actual tides are delayed by the fact that on a planetary scale water behaves more like molasses than the freely running liquid with which we are familiar. Also, the contours of the ocean floor and the continental shelves have an effect. This is not all: Land masses break the planetary ocean up, so wave effects cannot propagate unimpeded around the world. The tides are waves, although they are very long, having two crests and two troughs with the passage of every lunar day. Actually, the tides consist of two waves of different frequencies. Superimposed on the lunar tidal waves , which have a period of about 25 hours, are solar tidal waves (truly tidal in nature, unlike tsunamis , which are caused by undersea earthquakes, not by tides) with a period of 24 hours, but whose crests and troughs have smaller magnitude.
The Moon and Sun are not the only natural entities that affect sea level. Weather systems, especially ocean-going storms, have an effect, and in some places a storm surge can cause the sea to rise 10 times as much as the astronomical tide. A tsunami comes in and pounds away at the shoreline in a manner similar to that of a storm surge, except that the tsunami is caused by a jarring of the sea floor (or, occasionally, by a volcanic eruption) rather than by high winds piling the water up onto shore. Neither of these phenomena are true tides.
Tides don't occur to a significant extent in land-locked seas and lakes. This is so because in order for water to rise in one location, it must fall somewhere else where the lunar-solar gravitational composite is different. This can't happen in a small body of water, on which, relative to every point, the Moon and Sun are in the same positions at any given time.
There has been some debate about the effects of the solar and lunar gravitational fields on the behavior of living cells. No one has yet come out with a respected scientific study that quantifies and defines exactly how such effects, if any, are manifest. For example, so-called Moon madness (lunacy) has not been explained on the basis of increased intracellular tidal effects during the full Moon. Because a similar loss of reasoning power does not seem to grip its perennial victims during the new Moon, it is almost certain that Moon madness (if it really exists) is not caused by gravitation.

Alright my lovely readers and subscribers, I have decided to make every Friday a DIY project day! That means if you are into crocheting, knitting sewing, etc. you are more than welcome to stop by and see what I've made, make sure you leave a link to your DIY posts or blog, so that I can check them out too!
Yesterday I freecycled a whole bag of yarn, mostly acrylic, and in spite of the fact that a lot of people don't like acrylic, I gladly took what was offered! Besides it gave me an excuse to go across the river and then take the Stone Arch Bridge back home ;)
And here is what I made today, it only took me a couple hours:
Happy Friday everyone! What are your plans for the weekend?
I am in the process of making Russian Pirogis with apples, planning on picking up my floor mirror tomorrow, and doing a whole bunch of other fun stuff!
PS. The hat was inspired by:

If you didn't catch the first run of Anchorman 2, you're in luck as the film is coming back to theaters. But the film that is returning to theaters at the end of the month is actually an alternate version of Anchorman 2 as director Adam McKay states that jokes we haven't heard before have been swapped in for ones we have.
According to Adam McKay, the film is returning to theaters on February 28th and will include over 700 new jokes that we didn't hear in the film the firs time it was in theaters.
"When my editor told me we had a whole different version of the movie that was more than two hours long with nearly 800 new jokes, I was shocked. But when Paramount said they were actually going to put it in theaters, I did an 1950′s spit take. If you're a hardcore Anchorman fan go see this. If you're not, stay very far away."
The new version of the film will carry an 'R' rating, something that will either greatly help the film or just make it seen worse. Anchorman flourished thanks to it's unrated version, but this could also sink the film even lower into the depths of lowbrow humor.
We will find out soon though, as Anchorman 2 is hitting theaters — again — on February 28th.

After the 2011-12 summer that never was, and a year when the country continued to struggle out of recession, never has beach weather been more welcome.
As I lay on a towel by Lake Taupo on Saturday afternoon, quietly roasting while I watched my twins, four other children and three dogs swim, life's challenges would have been a cloud on the horizon had there been one.
Later, in the evening, one daughter crashed on the couch, before dinner. The other children in the household amused themselves.
I cooked a barbecue, while the salads were made inside. Bliss. The same sleepy daughter commented to me yesterday that "we didn't really do much this weekend", before falling asleep in the car shortly afterwards.
What she meant was we hadn't specifically gone anywhere to spend money in exchange for activity.
That, I explained, is the beauty of summer. Had she not enjoyed swimming for hours on end?
To the Facebook generation such simplicity can be perplexing. They wonder what they've missed out on while having such a good time.
For my generation it's a reminder of our childhood, and the values some of us forget to instil due to our busy lives, like taking pleasure from the simple things. A cool drink on a hot day. Tasty, seasonal food. Clean water in which to have a dip. Enjoying the company of peers without a care.
Earlier in the week I came upon what I regarded as a brilliant idea. With limited time to provide lunch before starting work, I briefly contemplated McDonald's for the three children. Instead I took my twins and a friend to a roadside fruit and vegetable vendor where they chose a punnet of strawberries each for lunch. At $9 it was a healthy treat. I was chuffed. Beach weather - you've got to love it. APN News & Media

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's about TobaccoPipes.com
Where are you located?
Most days we feel like we're everywhere. On any given work day, we'll be in 30 or 40 different countries, virtually that is. Our staff and products do have a permanent home in a small retail location in Spring Hill, Florida. We know you've never heard of it, that's okay. We're 45 minutes north of Tampa and just a few steps and a bikini from the Gulf of Mexico (we know you're jealous).
Why tobacco pipes?
We still don't really know how it happened, something about a dart and a wall?
Seriously! When we opened our first store, TobaccoPipeStore.com, we didn't know a thing about pipes or the hobby of smoking one. Today, it's a whole other world.
We fell head-over-bowl for the art, practice and community of pipe smoking. We're pretty simple folks and we like how smoking a pipe becomes a ritual of slowing down, appreciating the moment and learning a craft.
We started TobaccoPipes.com on a wing and a prayer. Today, four years later, we've become one of the top online pipe retailers because we're passionately committed to helping pipe enthusiasts enjoy what has become a favorite pastime for most of our staff (Read more About Us).
Do you have gift certificates?
Yes we do! Gift certificates can be purchased online for any amount between $1-1,000.00. All you need is the recipient's email address. Purchase your gift certificate here.
How do I set up an account?
Click Create An Account in the upper right hand corner of the screen or just wait until checkout, you will be prompted to do so.

FAQ's about our tobacco pipes
Is the pipe I'm seeing the pipe I'm receiving?
Sometimes. The tobacco pipes with a white banner indicating Actual Pipe are the pipe you will be receiving. All other pipes may vary from the picture shown. However, if you find a pipe you like on the site and want to see a photo of the pipe you'll be receiving before ordering. Please call or email us and we'll have our in-house photographer send you photos.
Are all your pipes new?
Yes. We do not currently buy or sell estate pipes.
What's the deal with the 360 degree views?
The 360 degree views are one of the unique experiences we provide pipe collectors at TobaccoPipes.com. These gorgeous complete views are the closest we can get you to actually holding the pipe in your hands.
How do you measure your pipes?
Measuring pipes can be a tricky business. We do our absolute best to give you the most accurate measurements and weights possible. Each new Actual Pipe and each new pipe model are measured and weighed in inches, millimeters, ounces and grams like this:
Tools: Digital Caliper and postal scale with 0.1 ounce increments
Length of the pipe: We measure the length from the end of the pipe's stem to the farthest point of the bowl. What that gives you, is a measurement of how far the bowl's end will be from your mouth. Due to curvature in stems and the bend, the measurement is not the actual specific length of the pipe.
Height of the pipe: This refers to the height of the bowl from base to top of rim.
Weight: Refers to the weight of the pipe, rounded to .1 ounce increments, in total.
Bowl Depth: Refers to the depth of the bowl, from the inside rim to the bottom of the bowl.
Bowl Outside Diameter: Refers to the external diameter of the bowl at its widest point.
Bowl Inside Diameter: Refers to the internal diameter of the bowl at the rim.
What do all the different shape names mean?
The shape name refers to the general bend and curve of the pipe, based on classic pipe shapes. Of course, this is often interpreted in the loosest of ways, so take a close look at the measurements for a pipe before purchasing.
What's the difference between a handmade and a factory pipe?
We stock both handmade and factory pipes at TobaccoPipes.com. We believe both types of smoking pipes have a place in the smoking world. There are differences and, new smokers in particular, should weigh them carefully before spending a large amount on a pipe.
Handmade or Artisanal tobacco pipes are more expensive than factory pipes and tend to be of a higher and more artistic quality. Handmade pipes are often free-form shapes and made from the highest quality briar. On the other hand, factory pipes are more affordable and consistent in their shape and quality.
Most smoking pipe collectors have a few of both kinds in their collection. we generally recommend that new smokers begin with a high-quality factory pipe and branch out from there. Read more about handmade versus factory pipes.
How do I know where my tobacco pipe was made?
At TobaccoPipes.com we take great pride in tracking down the history of each brand of pipes we carry. You can read about the history and current origins of any pipe you are selecting in our Tobacco Pipes History section.
How can I stay updated about new pipes?
There are a number of ways you can find up-to-the-minute information on new tobacco pipes and accessories on our site.
Subscribe to our newsletter to receive special offers and updates on limited edition pipes.
Subscribe to our blog to receive pipe news, information and spotlights via email or RSS reader.
Follow us on Facebook for all kinds of pipe smoking mayhem.
What does convertable mean in the pipe description?
When a tobacco pipe description states that it is convertible it means that the pipe can be smoked with or without a filter (Read more on the difference between filtered and unfiltered pipes).
FAQ's about smoking a tobacco pipe
What accessories do I need for my new pipe?
Beyond a smoking pipe and tobacco, you don't really need much. There are tons of accessories that can make your smoking experience more enjoyable, but the basic essentials are:
A 3 in 1 Pipe Tool, this small tool is used for tamping the tobacco and cleaning your pipe after you smoke.
Pipe Cleaners, to clean the inside of the stem after you smoke a bowl.
Fire, either from matches or a pipe lighter. Do not use a cigarette lighter to light your pipe tobacco, it is typically too hot.
How do I choose a tobacco pipe?
Choosing a pipe is a highly personal experience. Each smoker will have slightly different perspective on what makes the perfect pipe. Consider these four questions when choosing a tobacco pipe:
What shape appeals to you? This refers to both the feel and look of the shape.
Filtered or unfiltered? Unfiltered pipes are more popular in the U.S. and tend to give a stronger and more pure smoke. Filtered tobacco pipes are often a good choice for new smokers because they provide a cooler and dryer smoking experience as you are learning.
What type of finish appeals to you? The two primary pipe finishes are smooth and rusticated, but thousands of variations exist for each. Take a look at a few pipes and see which finish appeals to you.
What is your budget? Smoking pipes range in price from a few dollars to hundreds. Think about what you want to spend on your new hobby. If you're a new smoker, we recommend starting with a pipe in the $80-$100 range, generally these will give you a good smoking experience without busting the bank.
Read more about choosing your first pipe.
What do I do when I can't keep my pipe lit?
We say just keep relighting it! Especially the first few months of smoking a pipe are usually filled with constant relighting. Don't feel bad about it. To perfect your technique for how to light a tobacco pipe, follow our guide.
How should I care for my pipes?
Cleaning your pipe is the primary maintenance you'll need to do on your pipe. Read more on how to clean a tobacco pipe here.
How often can I smoke the same pipe?
There are plenty of varying opinions on how often a pipe should be in your rotation. In general, a well made pipe can be smoked if it is cool to the touch and doesn't have a sour smell. However, one bowl every 24 hours is a good rule of thumb (learn more about pipe rotation).
What should I do if my pipe needs to be repaired?
Contact us and we'll help point you in the right direction. Different manufactures all have different policies and recommendations for repairs. We'll help you navigate it.

Systems Approach to Understanding Electromechanical Activity in the Human Heart
Executive Summary
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a Workshop of expert cardiac electrophysiologists, cell biophysicists, and computational modelers on August 20-21, 2007, in Washington, D.C., to advise the NHLBI on new research directions needed to develop integrative approaches to elucidate human cardiac function. The Workshop fits well within the NHLBI Strategic Plan by seeking to integrate understanding of the molecular and physiological basis of health and disease and develop more effective approaches to cardiac disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
The workshop aimed to identify limitations in using data from non-human animal species for elucidation of human electromechanical function/activity and to identify what specific information regarding ion channel kinetics, calcium handling and dynamic changes in the intra-/extracellular milieu is needed from human cardiac tissues to develop more robust computational models of human electromechanical activity. Workshop members specifically reviewed and discussed (1) the limitations of animal models and how they differ from human electrophysiology, (2) modeling ion channel structure/function in the context of whole cell electrophysiology, (3) excitation-contraction coupling and regulatory pathways, (4) whole-heart simulations of human electromechanical activity, and (5) what kinds of human data are presently needed and how to obtain it.
The specific recommendations are that the NHLBI should:

Same happened to me. Can't get into the game. Unfortunate since it was a ranked game. Strange how I can use the obvs mode just fine, but I can't get in a game to play for myself since the last patch.
Yeah this happens to me too, its just bloody annoying. Riot please fix this problem, many people want to play League of Legends, and this is preventing them from playing.

State law requires that notices be sent out by March 15 with final notices going out at the end of the school year. After the final notices some teachers are called back to work for the next school year. The policy leaves teachers in limbo from March 15 until August.
Board Vice President Judith Peters noted that the district was scrambling for kindergarten teachers to kick off the 2012 school year. The board lamented the fact that they had no choice in the matter and are only sending the notices to meet the state requirement.
Assistant Superintendent Susan Davis said Title 1 reductions, enrollment and other factors were considered when forming the layoff list, which affects every grade k-12.
Board President Tom Conry said it is perceived that teachers are happy when they get their jobs back, but there is a mental toll of being laid off only to be called back to teach a different subject sometimes in a different school. He was uncomfortable that the annual layoffs have become "business as usual."
Board Member Mike Greer stressed that the board has high regard for district employees and he doesn't like sending layoff notices, but it is mandated by the state.
Greer, Peters and board member Rachelle Zuccolillo voted to send out the notices with Conry dissenting.

At a certain point, I realized I'm going into great debt to get a [bachelor of fine arts] in acting. And I was like, what is that? What is that even going to be when I'm finished? So I just started auditioning and I got a couple jobs and got an equity card and joined the union and dropped out of school. And I thought, 'Well, let's just do it.' Like if I had been really passionate about studying anything else, I completely would have stayed in college and I would have gotten that degree. But the fact that my passion was acting, and I was paying for college myself, I was just like, 'I can't justify going this deep into debt for something that might not mean anything. So I want to just try it.

Tax preparer enters guilty plea
A Holly Springs man pled guilty last week to an indictment in federal court.
Thelbert Lamont Lesure, 40, pled guilty to count one of an indictment, charging him with knowingly preparing and transmitting a fraudulent tax return to the IRS, according to Felicia Adams, United States attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi, and James C. Lee, special agent in charge of IRS Criminal Investigation.
Lesure entered his guilty plea before United States Chief District Judge Michael P. Mills in Oxford.
Lesure was released on a pre-existing bond pending sentencing, which will take place following the completion of a pre-sentence report. At sentencing, he faces a maximum possible penalty of five years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine and three years supervised release.
"Return preparers have a responsibility to prepare accurate tax returns and will be held accountable when they knowingly and intentionally prepare them falsely," Lee said.
This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, in the Oxford office and is being prosecuted by the Assistant United States Attorney Clay Dabbs.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Most friendly and relaxed,
but with impeccably high standards - Anonymous
we had a nice stay and a good bed after a long and tiring trip - Govert
It was a very calm peaceful setting in a busy city. We used the Ilum as our base and travelled to other destinations returning to the Ilum each time. The hotel has 12 rooms, they're very spacious, comfortable and clean, breakfast was lovely. The Ilum is one of the nicest places we have stayed and we have travelled extensively. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, they spoke good english and gave us advice on the sights to see in the city. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the a - Anonymous
This hotel is a gem in Buenos Aires! Located in the city center, at walking distance from the Casa Rosada and the Buquebus departure port, it is a must if you love the atmosphere of the Buenos Aires in the 1950-60 and the tango. The hotel is like a wee museum full of memorabilia related to Buenos Aires' top Tango stars. The breakfast is fantastic (buffet). The staff is very helpful and friendly. Do not miss it!! - Anonymous
The house itself was beautiful and the rooms were very nice. The location and the wonderful staff made our stay very memorable. Thank you. - Anonymous
Very large room. The jacuzzi-bath. A surprisingly good view. - Anonymous
The desk staff were the best- very friendly, knowledgeable, excellent English language, and willing to help out (especially Roberto, Carlos and Raquel). The rooms were stylishly appointed- small, but efficient and comfortable. The outdoor courtyard was pleasant and landscaped well. A full breakfast is included in the price of the room, a nice option to start the day if you choose. - Anonymous

Oh, definitely-- lean on friends for space or equipment where you can. I, too, have seen feasts that, while not exactly failures, could have gone much more smoothly with more or better pre-prep. Oh, another tip is that some prepared goods are better and cheaper than what you can make yourself. For example, I have access to a supplier that makes high-quality unsalted meat stocks and sells in semi-bulk packs a very moderate price, so I nearly always buy rather than make. -- Antonia di Benedetto Calvo ----------------------------- Habeo metrum - musicamque, hominem meam.

Dead Horse Point State Park
[ 10/10 ]
Best state park we ever camped in. Friendly park rangers, beautiful sites and awesome trails, both hiking and mountain biking. You have to bring water.
Grants, New Mexico
Grants / Cibola Sands KOA
[ 8/10 ]
The staff at this park went out of the way to make us feel welcome. Free breakfast and you can order dinner and have it delivered to your site. The big surprise was the lava fields in the area. My wife and I are outdoors people and there were many scenic views and trails in the area. Also neat to drive on Historic RT 66 in Grants.
Austin, Texas
McKinney Falls State Park
[ 7/10 ]
Camped at this state park numerous times. Always friendly staff. Need to watch the trees if camping in a 5th wheel lots of low branches. It's also close to Austin if you want to go into town.
Columbus, Texas
Colorado River Thousand Trails

I'm a Thousand Trails member, this park is very nice with large sites. It is a typical thousand trails park. My only complaint is as a member I don't feel I should have to pay extra for a premium site.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A drifter who prosecutors have said abducted two women and then waited hours or even days to kill and behead them in remote forests was sentenced to death on Thursday.
The judge took less than 15 minutes to announce his decision.
Gary Michael Hilton, in a blue jail uniform, showed no emotion as the judge imposed the sentence. Deputies then walked Hilton over to a side table to fingerprint him.
The 64-year-old was convicted in February of the 2007 death of Cheryl Dunlap of Crawfordville, Fla. The beheaded body of Dunlap - a 46-year-old nurse and Sunday school teacher - was found in north Florida's Apalachicola National Forest.
In a sense, the death penalty was a foregone conclusion. A jury had unanimously recommended a death sentence in Dunlap's killing, and Florida judges must give "great weight" to a jury's sentencing recommendation. And judges usually follow that recommendation in capital cases.
"May God have mercy on your soul," Circuit Judge James C. Hankinson told Hilton before leaving the courtroom.
Hilton already had been sentenced to life in prison in Georgia after pleading guilty to killing 24-year-old hiker Meredith Emerson of Buford, Ga. The headless bodies of both women were found in wooded areas where Hilton had camped in Georgia and Florida.
Hilton was arrested at a north Georgia convenience store where he had tried to get rid of Dunlap's boots. He still is a suspect in three other killings in Florida and North Carolina.
Assistant Public Defender Robert Friedman, Hilton's lawyer, said he would appeal the sentence. The Florida Supreme Court automatically reviews death sentence appeals.
Friedman said he will challenge, among other things, the fact the judge allowed some jurors to sit on the case even though they said they knew about Emerson's murder.
State Attorney Willie Meggs, who prosecuted Hilton, shrugged off questions about spending money to prosecute the case when Hilton already had pleaded guilty to killing Emerson.
"It takes someone smarter than me to put a dollar value on someone's life," he said.
According to reports, Hilton also is suspected in the disappearance of John and Irene Bryant, who vanished while hiking in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest in October 2007, and in the death of 27-year-old Michael Scot Louis, who vanished one month later in Tomoka State Park in Ormond Beach, Fla.
Louis also was found decapitated. Hilton has not been charged in those cases.
Gloria Tucker, a cousin of Dunlap's who attended Thursday's sentencing, called Hilton a "monster."
"There's never justice for victims; nothing will ever bring them back," she said. "But he'll never be able to hurt another person."

For years, offices have been filled with the fresh-faced younger generation who fill the entry-level desks, the established middle who fill the management roles and the older senior executives who are near retirement. But as tech-savvy millennials enter the workforce causing Gen-X-ers and baby boomers to step out of their comfort zones, talk of the generational divide is everywhere.
As the latest marketable, targetable demographic, they're easy to stereotype. But that doesn't mean they should be.
If you're like me, you've probably consumed more than your fair share of media reports, research, and write-ups aimed at deciphering the millennial mindset.
As marketers and advertisers, we may once again be guilty of overanalyzing the heck out of any and all available data points, the goal being to put everything into neat buckets for our paying clients and prospects.
In our industry, so many thoughtful insights have been published that it's reasonable to think we're dangerously close to, once and for all, cracking the code on this elusive species, right? Maybe not.
Recently, ad agency Pinta commissioned a research team of graduate business school students—all millennials—from Florida International University to do some cultural detective work, scour through third-party research on the popular segment, and conduct some of their own proprietary research.
Gender and generational gaps have recently become big buzz words in the business world. According to a new study, it's not a passing trend: Having millennials and women in leadership positions directly correlates with the success of a company.
"The vast increase in literacy in Modern Standard Arabic in this generation over previous ones allowed the millennials to communicate beyond the small groups that use their dialect. Literacy also bestowed on them the confidence to challenge their elders, born in part of a realization that they possessed competencies their parents and grandparents did not. Sometimes these skills gave women advantages, including on the Internet."
(Source: salon)
The fastest-growing demographic in the workforce knows a few things about motivating and leading others.
With their widespread entrance into the workplace, millennials are bringing new requirements of employee engagement that include creativity, entrepreneurialism, and accelerated career growth. Research by Deloitte is projecting that millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025. They are supportive of—and engaged with—companies that care about more than a high-profit margin.
Leaders are noticing the change. According to Deloitte, 78% of business leaders rate retention and engagement as urgent or important.
What secrets of employee engagement can you pick up from millennials? It's not about pay or work-life balance. Here are some ways to increase engagement in your organization:
Even when young professionals post out-of-office messages, they're still connected. Here's why employers should give the option to check in.
No matter where you take your summer holiday, if you're a millennial, then you will likely be packing your inbox.
According to a recent study by HR consulting firm Randstad, 52% of millennial employees reported feeling compelled to respond to emails outside of working hours. Despite their ability to connect with the office while away, 40% of generation Y employees reported feeling guilty about using all of their vacation time, compared to only 18% of baby boomers.
Jim Link, managing director of HR at Randstad, attributes some of this generational difference to the fact that millennial employees are in earlier stages of their careers and are apt to feel more anxious about appearing responsive. They are more hesitant to take time off for fear of missing out on career opportunities, he adds.
Baby boomer employees who have more seniority may feel a greater sense of security, Link explains. Therefore, they value freedom when it comes to taking vacation time and creating a clear separation between work and home life.
"If you're young, you're trying to show your value in an organization," he says. "The bleeding between work and life is also more pronounced among millennials. They're also the group who are most comfortable being connected while they're away."
Millennials have great expectations entering the workforce this year, but it's not just about meeting those expectations when it comes to winning top recruits: How you get your company in front of job seekers is just as important.
Millennials Don't Care About Owning Cars, And Car Makers Can't Figure Out Why
"What auto manufacturers, along with much of corporate America are missing here is that the vehicles to freedom and personal identity have changed for this generation. The sooner brands get a grip on this reality the sooner they can make adjustments in how they market to and communicate with this core group, which is essential to their long-term success."
More> Co.Exist
Millennials aren't as lazy and entitled as they're made out to be. Why everyone needs to adapt to the workforce of the future.
"Not only are they likely to exhibit loyalty and advocacy for the brands they like, but they also open their wallets," says ComScore representative Justin Roy.
"Our generation admires people who are creating products and companies that do things to make the world a better place."
"When building your team, don't hire a skill set, instead choose people that you wouldn't mind going for a hike with after work, and trust that most people will step up to the plate and learn the skills that they need."

About George Strait Memorabilia & Collectibles
George Harvey Strait was born on the month of May 18, 1952, and had risen to fame as an American actor, singer and music producer! Strait was often referred by many people as "King of Country" and even critics called him as the living legend!

Have Our Children Forgotten How to Play Outdoors?
- Monday, July 16, 2012
This is our Father's world, and we would do well to receive this world and enjoy it, while giving praise and glory to God for the beauty and bounty it contains. We understand that nature is not an end to itself, and we affirm that the creation exists as the theater of God's glory for the drama of redemption. All this should help Christians to remember that we honor God most faithfully when we receive His good gifts most gratefully.
Christians should take the lead in reconnecting with nature and disconnecting from machines. Taking the kids for a long walk in the woods would be a great start.
