Questions on MTS, Osmocote, K-L-N, Worm Castings, Leonardite, etc.
Anybody have some extra MTS they can sell? Also, does anybody have any tips on using this material in an emersed set-up? What are your thoughts on mixing worm castings?
I've been doing some research, but I am still pretty much a novice when it comes to this stuff; I've never used MTS before. Most of this substrate/chemistry stuff I research is way over my head anyway. I guess I was never that into chem -- always more of a math/physics guy myself :)
Anyway, during my "research," I read that mixing some azomite and leonardite with the MTS will help with the humates or something like that? Anybody have any experience or comments? I know it leeches a yellow color, (I think) into the water, but I don't care as long as it helps. Especially for an emersed set-up, who cares about the water color lol?
If anyone has any useful links to some literature or forums where I can read more about this stuff, i.e. the different cycles going on in the soil and whatnot, that would be much appreciated! Even if some of it does go over my head :icon_roll
Also, what's the deal with these Osmocote tabs everyone's selling? Are they an alternative to using something like MTS? Or would you sprinkle the stuff underneath the MTS? Or just not combine them at all?
And does anybody have experience with using K-L-N for rooting during emersed planting, and what are your thoughts?
Also I came across the term menefee humates. I'm in a rush and gotta get out the door, so I can't comment on that right now, but if anybody else can that'd be awesome, thanks! And again, if you have some MTS you can sell, let me know please, thanks!
Osmocote Plus is a slow release fertilizer sold for garden use.
It can be used in aquariums at the rate of 5 grams per square foot of substrate.
In the initial set up you can simply sprinkle it on the floor of the tank, then cover it with the substrate. Careful when you plant not to bring the Osmocote up.
In an established tank it is better to find some way to push the Osmocote deep into the substrate. Some people use a capsule sold in health food stores, size 00. I freeze small amounts of Osmocote in just enough water to hide the beads, then put the "ferti-cicles" where I want in the tank. I use small amounts so I can push them into the substrate as close as 6" apart.
Osmocote & MTS
Thanks for the info! I guess what I really want to know is if I'm going to use MTS, should I put the layer of osmocote under it? Or is that going to be overkill?
By the way, I really like your "fert-cicle" idea!
If you have the time and space to make MTS, go for it. Otherwise, you can easily use Miracle Grow Organic Choice Potting Mix instead. I chose the latter because all you have to do is buy the bag, dump it into the tank, and cap it. Of course you'll need to watch your water parameters but it shouldn't be too much of the problem if you have to cycle your tank.

Peralta doubles home 2 runs, Brewers beat Reds 2-0
Submitted: 05/02/2014
Story By Associated Press
- Wily Peralta doubled home two runs _ the first RBIs of his career - and repeatedly escaped trouble during his eight innings on Friday night, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
The NL Central leaders improved the best record in the majors to 21-9 and opened a 7 1/2-game lead over Cincinnati. The Brewers are 12-3 on the road.
Peralta (4-1) made his fifth quality start of the season, holding the Reds to three hits and a pair of walks while throwing 110 pitches. Francisco Rodriguez retired the three batters he faced for his 14th save in as many chances.
Peralta doubled with two outs in the fifth off Mike Leake (2-3), who left his first pitch over the plate. Leake gave up seven hits and fanned five as he went eight innings for the second time this season.

How to keep pets safe during July 4th celebrations
Submitted: 06/28/2017
- Bringing your pet along to watch fireworks might seem like a fun way to spend the Fourth of July, but you could be doing more harm than good.
July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year for most animal shelters.
That's because fearful pets try to escape the bangs and flashes from fireworks and end up lost.
Forest County Humane Society president Jay Schaefer says don't let yourself add to your pet's stress.
Play it down, and make the fireworks a good thing with positive talk and treats.
"They're reading cues from us constantly. So be careful of your body language and the cues you're giving them. If you act like fireworks are a big scary thing they're gonna be like, 'oh my god fireworks are scary,'" says Schaefer.
Exercise can be another way to calm your pet before the big light show.
Burning off the energy earlier in the day may help your pet go to sleep early.
"Take them for a jog on the Fourth of July. I know it's hectic, but do something so they're not all amped up at night when the fireworks go off," says Schaefer.
Like many humans, pets like the smell of lavender.
You can try diffusing the scent around the house to put your pet at ease.
Make sure you have a well-fitting collar and identification tag on your pet.
If flashes are too bright, you might want to close the curtains.

Organic cranberry marsh uses geese for weed control
Submitted: 06/28/2017

- Managing weeds can be a challenge for many cranberry growers across the state.
James Lake Farms in Three Lakes has been certified organic since 2007.
As organic growers, they are not allowed to use synthetic materials or herbicides to control their weeds.
This spring, they purchased weed eating geese from a nursery to help get rid of the weeds.
"We came across an article from 1954 in a trade magazine that showed that one of our marshes had used weeder geese back then in order to reduce the weed pressure, and we thought, well, this might be a novel approach," said owner John Stauner.

- Every year, firefighters around the country ask their communities to fill up boots with money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Wausau Fire Department kicked off its "Fill the Boot" campaign Tuesday morning.
The fire department will be at local events throughout the summer to collect donations.
The fundraiser helps with research and treatment for neuromuscular diseases for kids and adults.
"It's kind of a rewarding part of the job. Most of what we do is off camera, you don't really get to see all aspects of the fire department. It is a great chance for us to get out there and see all the programs we are involved in to help,"says firefighter Matt Tormohlen.

Patty Andrews, RIP
One of the last links to World War II-era popular culture has passed.
Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed
Thanks for noting this. Their prime was before my time, but they were part of the atmosphere. And they could swing.
I'm not pleased, but something, that my son was born the week that Jo Stafford passed. Pittsburgh has one of the country's great radio shows for songs of this era.
Is that the one who shtupped Sam Giancana?
That was one of the McGuire Sisters, I think.
The genealogy: Bosworth Sister –> Andrews Sisters –> McGuire Sisters.
Yes, Phyllis.
They were wondeful.
And they were terrific in the movies, like that one with Abbott and Costello.
Perhaps I shouldn't have been, but I was surprised to find so few tunes by the Andrews Sisters on Youtube. I did run across an appearance they made on the Dean Martins how, but the song didn't capture their talents very well. RIP, Patty.
I remember the local CBS outlet showing old Abbott and Costello and Hope and Crosby movies, and it seemed like they were in every one. My childhood memories are better for them being in the world. Requiescat in pace.
Really enjoy the combo of the precision three-part Andrews Sisters singing with Der Bingle's relaxed delivery in the foreground. That treatment just worked wonders.

The Senate passed legislation Wednesday that combines several liquor-law bills that had been progressing through the Legislature but now excludes eliminating Utah's so-called "Zion Curtain."
It voted 25-1 to pass HB228, and returned it to the House. The House later refused by voice vote to accept Senate changes, so both bodies appointed a conference committee to negotiate changes.
Sponsoring Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, excluded language to remove the Zion Curtain or Zion Wall, as it is popularly referred to: an opaque, 7-foot-2 barrier that conceals the drink preparation area from dining patrons. Supporters say that seeing drinks poured or prepared can be enticing to children.
The House earlier had voted 63-11 to remove the Zion Curtain, but that move was opposed in the Senate. Valentine said the barrier makes restaurants more family friendly, and helps reduce a "culture of alcohol."
The combined bill would allow restaurant chains to get a single liquor license, instead of getting a new license for each eatery. That is expected to free up a number of restaurant licenses, which are in short demand and, restaurateurs have complained, has stymied expansion.
It also imposes a mandatory fine of $1,500 for retailers that serve alcohol to minors, increasing with each violation and allows so-called "flights," which are tastings of a liquor, wine or beer.

Al Qaeda's influence on the decline?
Peter Johnson, Jr. weighs in
Thomas: It isn't just Pelosi, it is their whole message...their whole agenda. They can't understand that US citizens don't want big government imposing their tentacles into every aspect of our lives. There is nothing that Democrats wouldn't regulate, or tax, when it comes to productive US citizens, and yet when it comes to lawbreakers, illegals, radical muslims, and all of the other anti American fringe groups they fawn over, there is NO regulation. In essence the whole Democrat party is anti American.

Q: We are experiencing low compressive strength test results on some concrete we supplied to a job. We know it is due to poor testing of the cylinders. How do we convince the contractor and engineer where the issue is?
A: This is a universal concern in the concrete industry. I have worked in 10 different states and two provinces in Canada and this has come up everywhere. I also can speak from experience on both sides of this argument, having worked with a concrete producer and a testing lab. I have witnessed poor testing from the producer's point of view and the testing lab side.
My words of wisdom: Be careful where you point your finger, as it can very quickly come back to point at you. Correlations are easy to draw when you look at data, but it may be completely inaccurate. Testing labs have called me, indicating that there are several projects experiencing low strengths and they all have my product in them. This is a very dangerous statement, as the testing lab is also a common denominator in this scenario.
My advice would be to start by taking a good look at your operations. If you can't find anything, you can hire someone to review the operations with you. If there is something wrong with the production or materials used, you need to know this. Accusing the testing lab incorrectly will not bode well for future discussions.
If you are convinced there is no issues with the product, ask the testing lab for information, including curing temperatures, how they transport the cylinders, and whether you can witness them conducting the testing.
Ask for the lab's quality control manual. If you're still not satisfied, hire another lab to test side by side. Do not do this out of spite. Indicate you need to protect your interests and the continued success of the project.
As a senior technical service engineer, I would be called to help with low-strength issues routinely. I have been the guy pounding his fist on the table, saying we will take cores and make this problem go away, proving the testing lab was at fault. Be present through the whole ordeal, and witness the cores being taken, prepared, and tested as they fail to meet specifications also.
If you want your ego deflated quickly, that will do it. On the opposite side, I've seen cylinders dug out of the dumpster and retested, achieving an additional 1000 psi. I also have seen cylinders buried in the back fill of foundations, frozen cylinders, and cylinders too hot to touch.
Each issue is different. I have witnessed blatant disregard for testing protocol, and have been able to point them out, although I've also witnessed many issues in the production of concrete. I've seen cement being loaded into the fly ash silo, contaminated stockpiles, admixture dosing mistakes, and three-hour haul times. Errors in testing do occur, but issues also exist in the materials, batching, and handling of concrete.
So, we all need to stop and get the full story. Recently, I dealt with an issue where strengths were maxing out at seven days and one set decreased in strength at 28 days. One might think the set that decreased in strength is a blatant testing error, and other sets look like the cylinders were cured in hot boxes which were too hot.
We can't jump to this conclusion because there are other issues which would cause good seven-day strength and poor 28-day strengths. Air entraining issues will do this, as will dirty aggregates. As the strength of the paste increases over time, air issues or dirty aggregates may cause the weak link in the chain.
In dealing with this recent issue, both of these causes were to blame. The coarse aggregate was very dirty, and the sand had a very fine gradation. These issues with the aggregates also caused clustering along with high air contents. Yes, there were testing issues, but there were also real issues with the concrete.
Try not to be adversarial in these situations. This will shut the process down. I have had more success working with all parties to resolve the issues and the project has continued.
Defensive mechanisms are easy to turn on but are difficult to turn off. You will need to work with these same companies on future projects. Build a relationship with the local lab and it will be more responsive to your requests and needs.

text: I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to report on new models quickly then to track cars closely as they age. We already provide some reliability stats on the Equinox and Torrent, but would like to cover all years, especially the new 2010 Equinox and Terrain. For this, we need more participants. So I'm grateful that the owner of this forum has given me permission to post here. We're linking back from our results pages for the Equinox. Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter. To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Equinox, Torrent, and Terrain, free of charge. For the details, and to sign up to help out: Car reliability research

However the next test sessions are a few days after the deadline. And this event NEVER has extended deadline. Thanks!

Session 8 (11/13): Driving U.S. Growth and Competitiveness Guest: Hilda Solis, Former Secretary of Labor While other countries have explicit growth strategies, America's economic policy is largely focused on macroeconomic issues such as deficit reduction and the federal budget. Karen Mills will conclude the study group series by dissecting the key economic policy questions required to create a competitiveness agenda for America that will support a permanent entrepreneurial ecosystem. What are the key policy components and what do they cost? What is the role of public/private partnerships, and how can business take a leadership role?

How to create a million dollar business this weekend (Hint: Chihuahuas)
Neville Medhora
December 6, 2012
Most people get paralyzed trying to start a small biz because they "Can't find an idea". Let the fat Sumos of AppSumo show you how....AND we're gonna follow our own advice and build a biz with it (and show you how step-by-step).
My stupid friend asked me:
"Hey you Big Fat Sumo....whatchya doing this weekend...EATING?? hahaha..."
IMMEDIATELY I did two things:
1.) Slapped him in the mouth.
2.) Replied, "I'm starting a business from scratch. By the end of this weekend I'll have a ghetto business launched and collecting data."
This Fat Sumo may not know what a "Diet" is, but I sure as hell know how to start businesses....and I can make a business in ONE weekend.
What's crazy is most people can't even make one business in a LIFETIME.
They're always "gonna" start something.
They're always "developing something big"
They're always "trying to find the right idea"
Lo and behold....they NEVER get anything going.
Why is that??
I'll tell you why:
-They dunno how to find "the right idea" and eventually get stuck.
-They dunno how to eliminate crappy (and unprofitable) ideas.
-They dunno how to validate their ideas with a real-life test before investing all their time and money.
Let's cut the damn excuses Young Sumo-ling.
I wanna show you how to find your idea, and start a ghetto test-trial of your business before you waste all your time on some crap idea.
This is a kourse that's close to our cholesterol-filled Sumo-hearts.
(and it's called a Kourse because it's DIFFERENT from all the typical stuff you normally see about finding your idea).
"But Summoooo.....HOW is it different? you annoyingly ask me....
For starters, we don't just talk about this.
We actually BUILD a business with you from scratch in this kourse.
There was an article on Tim Ferriss' blog called
"How To Create A Million-Dollar Business This Weekend (Examples: AppSumo, Mint, Chihuahuas)."
When that epic article was written....it was almost a "joke" to show how to research Chihuahua dogs. But the research showed that market was viable. We're gonna prove we can make that data work by literally showing you how we built a business around Chihuahuas in one weekend.
I can already hear you starting to whine:
"OK OK OK Fat Sumo.....I DO want to start making businesses....and I read posts all over the internet about how to do it....but it's still confusing to me."
I hear you Young Sumo-ling. You're correct....sometimes just a 2-page post (no matter how good) is no replacement for seeing the whole process done ON A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE right in front of your eyes.
Hmmm....well it juusstt soooo happpeeennss this Fat Sumo has literally the EXACT answer to your problem.
This Video Action Kourse is stuffed into three sections:
SECTION 1.) How to find your idea and make sure there's a market (before you start charging down a profit-less road).
SECTION 2.) How to test that idea and start building. We actually START by building and validating a CHIHUAHUA BUSINESS! From scratch. At the end the kourse, this Sumo eats all the Chihuahuas for lunch.
SECTION 3.) Killing the "Wantrepreneur Syndrome" so many people have. We do this through AppSumo-Exclusive interviews with lots of people who are "sooo successful now" ....but weren't always like that (and how you can change your mindset too).
Malcolm Gladwell has something he calls the 10,000-Hour Rule. It goes like this:
"Studies suggest the key to success in any field has nothing to do with talent....It's simply practice. 10,000 hours of it. 20 hours a week for 10 years."
What this means is that the MORE you do "stupid small side projects" .....the BETTER you get.
In this Kourse we interview (specifically for this Kourse) successful people who talk about how in the beginning they just did "stupid small businesses" when they first started.
Noah Kagan (#30 at Facebook, Founder of Gambit)
Dan Graham of BuildASign.com
Mickey Ristroph of Mutual Mobile
So it comes down to this.....
You're staring this decision in the face (kinda like that "Blue pill vs. Red pill" scene in The Matrix).
You can take the path of "I'll always DREAM of making a business but I'll most likely never even start....."
You can watch how this big fat Sumo identifies businesses to start, validates the ideas and EXECUTES them violently.
Grab my fat Sumo-hand and follow along as we test ideas and build ghetto validation tests right in front of your eyes.
The Chief Sumo
P.S. A large amount of Chihuahuas were harmed in the making of these videos.
P.P.S. This can be seriously life-changing info. We have a 100% "Anytime Before You Die" money-back guarantee for anyone who is unsure of buying.
P.P.P.S. If you're NOT ready to start your own biz...then please don't buy.

My daughter has post nasal drip from allergies and she can be fine all day, but when she lays down to go to sleep she starts coughing. The cough can get so bad, it forces her to throw up. Delsym is the only thing that stops the cough and lets her sleep all night. It has a bad taste, but she's gotten used to it, and she can sleep all night without coughing. I highly reccomend it!

Settle down. If he only found the site a week ago, he's still learning the ropes. Pop culture being one of those ropes.
Let's welcome our new artists instead of berating them, please.
Welcome new artist! Check out this thread.. Especially look at TGentry's post. He's on the shirt staff and has some useful posts in his signature.
There are plenty of people around to answer your questions. New Derbies are announced on Thursday and you'll find a discussion thread for it. That's a great place to ask your question, test out your ideas, get comments on early drafts, etc.
Again, welcome!
Re: King Of Hygiene.
hahahaha! this is so funny and I love your character!

That is a cupful of awesome right there!
Re: Monkey Business
Hi all !
Thanks for the comments ! Vital to me since this is the my first entry and I am mostly clueless yet.
Yes cartons are being watched and I am a big big fan of Gir
I am going to remember about the colors and gradients Thanks !
Re: King Of Dinosaurs.
You might be right, I might need a dinosaur shirt.
Re: King of Nothing
There is a lot of creepy in this design. The dead eye look of the cat. I think it is staring into my soul.
Re: The Royal Shame
Your designs are always so fun!

Maybe it's just me and everyone else loves the brown...?
Not just you. There's a couple of shirts now I've loved, like this one, that I've rejected because of brown. If it were a color I would actually wear, I'd vote. The artwork is great.
Re: Demon Queen
I honestly believe that you know what my nightmares look like. Your creatures always having long fingers. That always creeps me out.
Kudos on the design!
Re: The Royal Flush
Re: Making Money
I wonder if someone could make a mint smelling ink for this shirt. It would be awesome if the shirt always had a minty fresh smell.
Re: Penguinus IV
So much detail on this! That cross-hatching must've taken forever. Really great work
This made me laugh!
This is so awesome! I love your dark and stripey style so much.
As is the case with every shirt you guys make, WANT WANT WANT WANT. Though it might be even cooler if the pawn was positioned to take the knight, and had a stance that suggested he really thought he could do it.
Thanks everyone for all the positive comments and of course the votes! Its always awesome to wake up the morning after submitting a shirt and find it in the new hotness:D
love love love the faces!
Love this, great style, very funny. GMV, if i could :o(
Re: home field advantage
this is so cool!
Re: King cobra
This snake is a king for a reason. Warning do not get bit or you'll be sorry.

Sigh. It was fun being in the fog while it lasted. But as the only non-halftoned design, it was inevitable that it would not last. I appreciate all the great comments on this design- it was a lot of fun in the making, which is what counts most.
Mine doesn't have any half tones (I'm not huge into lots of toning either, I think it sometimes distracts from nice line art)

Bit of a scandalous length on the toga
How many colors are in this? I really like the choices and I'm curious how you got such variety, it looks great!

Thanks, it's six colors. I used a lot of halftones in the blues, greens, and oranges, but decided to use two actual colors for the body.
Re: Crest Fallen
A twist on the idea of a royal crest.
I'd like to take a (mint) leaf out of your book on how to get your design looking so fresh. Great execution Spiritgreen!
This is an easy vote for me Chris. You have all the different elements working together really well, and just noticed the kings robe hanging up the second time I looked at it.
You gave your card characters such a great range of expressions walmazan. It's a funny scene that maintains appeal after repeat viewings.
Re: Regicide
This works so well on the shirt and is a great direction to take a chess idea in. +1
dooomcat wrote:Mine doesn't have any half tones (I'm not huge into lots of toning either, I think it sometimes distracts from nice line art)
Yours is awesome, btw. I love the expressions of the animals. I didn't check your design for the longest time since all I saw was the princess in the thumbnail. You have a wonderful history of cool animals (my favorite is teh zombie mouse).
Re: I am King of You!
Very cool! Especially think the stellar crown and cape was a great idea.
chuuie wrote:Very pretty... it reminds me of the Tales from Wonderland comics :D I like the skirts on them!
I thought of the same comic. It isn't a bad thing though.
GET. IN. THE. FOG! Love this! WANT THIS!
Gothic-y? Check Cat? Check.... GMV.
Re: Seven Princesses
I imagine most people won't get the reference, especially if they don't know the name of the shirt, but I like it.

The Expressive Therapies Research Center is a collaborative effort amongst faculty, students, and practitioners aimed at expanding research on how the arts promote health and healing.
Research in the Expressive Therapies is vital to our understanding of how the arts promote health and healing. The Expressive Therapies Research Center at Lesley promotes creative, scientific inquiry undertaken by faculty and students. In the context of the Expressive Therapies Research Center, scholarship is defined using the Boyer model and therefore includes: scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching (Boyer, 1990). By sharing research interests and current projects, the Center aims to promote collaboration and generate new knowledge for our field and for society.
Feders' The Art and Science of Evaluation in the Arts Therapies: How Do You Know What's Working (2013, Charles C Thomas)by Expressive Therapies Associate Professor Robyn Flaum Cruz, Ph.D. & Bernard Feder, Ph.D. This second edition follows the tradition of the first edition as both an introductory text and a handbook in evaluation and assessment in the creative arts therapies. It was written to be useful both for graduate students in the arts therapies training programs, doctoral programs, and for practitioners in the field who want guidelines for developing and implementing evaluation programs. The first section deals with fundamentals and principles that apply to all evaluation, qualitative as well as quantitative. This general treatment is followed by chapters that deal with specific approaches to evaluation: psychometric, clinical or intuitive, and behavioral. The implications for evaluation of the three major philosophical orientations (psychodynamic, existential, and behavioral) are discussed. The last section focuses on evaluation procedures in art therapy, dance/movement therapy, and music therapy, contributed by individuals who have specific expertise in those areas. Existing procedures are reviewed and emerging trends are examined. The basic theme of the book is the interrelationship between the creative and the scientific approaches to evaluation. The book's purpose is not to provide formulas or recipes but rather to help therapists relate their evaluation program to their goals, to identify what they are interested in evaluating, and to design the kind of evaluation program that can do what the therapist wants it to do.
The Potential of the Arts in Mental Health: A Collaboration with the Harvard Conte Center for Brain SciencePresenters: Nancy Beardall, Ph.D., Karen Estrella, Ph.D., Nisha Sajnani, Ph.D., Raquel Stephenson, Ph.D., Rebecca Zarate, Ph.D.This panel and workshop featured faculty from Lesley University's renowned Expressive Therapies program. Participants were introduced to the theory and practice of the arts therapies including drama therapy, music therapy, art therapy, dance/movement therapy, and expressive arts therapy. Following a theoretical overview, participants gained direct experience with a variety of techniques used within each modality.

'The Sabres have devised a cage that maintains the post-to-post width at 6 feet at the top and bottom while bowing the sides outward and the crossbar upward. The posts would peak 3 inches wider than the current form, while the crossbar would be 6 inches higher at the crest. The net also wouldn't be as deep, to facilitate wraparounds.'

· Expand conceptual understanding of number sense, basic operations, and fractions
· Explore a conceptual model of teaching math
· Develop skill in designing constructive learning experiences
· Explore foundational mathematical principles
· Investigate integrating conceptual teaching into curriculum
As a student you will be expected to:
· Complete all four information sections showing a competent understanding of the material presented in each section.
· Complete all four section examinations, showing a competent understanding of the material presented. You must obtain an overall score of 70% or higher, with no individual exam score below 50%, to pass this course. *Please note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score requirements are.
· Complete a review of any section on which your examination score was below 50%.
· Retake any examination, after completing an information review, to increase that examination score to a minimum of 50%, making sure to also be achieving an overall exam score of a minimum 70% (maximum of three attempts). *Please note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score requirements are.
· Complete a course evaluation form at the end of the course.
Chapter 1 – Number Sense
The first chapter outlines the teaching model, including a discussion of the conceptual, contextual, and constructive teaching of math. Comparisons are drawn between traditional math education and current trends in math education. The chapter also explores how to develop conceptual understanding of number sense, counting principles, and place value. Example activities are presented, both to explain mathematical concepts and to illustrate teaching strategies.
Chapter 2 – Addition & Subtraction
The second chapter covers concepts in addition, subtraction, and estimation. This chapter explores foundational concepts to develop computational fluency without memorization. Strategies represent conceptual and constructive teaching. A unique manipulative tool is introduced that is used extensively to develop operational concepts and expand place value principles.
Chapter 3 – Multiplication & Division
The third chapter develops concepts in multiplication, division, and prime numbers. In this chapter, designing contextual problems is discussed. Strategies presented are designed to construct operational concepts that are foundational to fractions. Place value concepts are expanded, and prime number concepts are developed.
Chapter 4 – Fractions
The final chapter explores fractional understandings. Alternative manipulatives are used to develop essential concepts as well as computational principles. In addition, a unique strategy is presented to find common denominators, equivalent fractions, and reduced fractions. All operations, including division, are presented using manipulatives to teach for understanding.
At the end of each chapter, you will be expected to complete an examination designed to assess your knowledge. You may take these exams a total of three times. Your last score will save, not the highest score. After your third attempt, each examination will lock and not allow further access. Your final grade for the course will be determined by calculating an average score of all exams. This score will be printed on your final certificate. As this is a self-paced computerized instruction program, you may review course information as often as necessary. You will not be able to exit any examinations until you have answered all questions. If you try to exit the exam before you complete all questions, your information will be lost. You are expected to complete the entire exam in one sitting.

'"He needs two or three real good practice days where he just gets back to what I call a relaxed comfort zone," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "He seems like he's been uptight. He's put a lot of pressure on himself, which he usually does."'

Sabres' Miller sits down for rest
Connolly may be near concussion comeback
'The Sabres need to have a handle on Connolly within the next couple of weeks. The Sabres would be up against the salary cap if Connolly can play. If he remains on long-term injured reserve, the club will be able to use his $2.9 million cap number to make moves before the Feb. 27 trade deadline.'
Vanek conquers attack on confidence
'"Last year was a good learning experience for me and I wasn't happy with how the season ended," Vanek said. "I just prepared myself better over the summer. I worked on conditioning more and tried to be in better shape because with the way the game has changed you have to be prepared each and every night to skate and work hard."'
Connolly Skates Prior To Practice
'"He's progressing and we hope he continues to progress," said head coach Lindy Ruff. "It is encouraging. He's had some workouts where he's been at max heart rate and there haven't been any setbacks."'

'"I can't put a date on it, but from a conditioning standpoint you can guesstimate," Ruff said.'
Tallinder Practices, Connolly Update
'Ruff said Connolly skated very hard on his own today, emerging with no symptoms from the head injury that's haunted the Sabres center since the Eastern Conference semi-final against Ottawa. Ruff added that the team would look to put him on a more vigorous conditioning program and, while reluctant to name a time table, said he would guess it would be a 6-8 week program – maybe shorter, perhaps longer – provided Connolly remains symptom and setback-free.'
Sabres feel shaken after weekend
'"Confidence is a very fragile thing, and you want to make sure that you don't get too low, you don't beat yourself up," Sabres co-captain Daniel Briere said Sunday. "It's a little bit of the message that we're trying to send to everybody around the room."'
Paetsch may be staying in lineup
'"It's difficult for me to come in and see such great players not playing it," the rookie defenseman said, "but I definitely love being on the power play. It's something I've done in the past quite often."'

Need to skate around to find a Sabres jersey
'After unsuccessful shopping trips, she finally found them on eBay. In December, Bucki won an auction, paying $233.99, which included $17.99 in shipping to a seller in Lackawanna. "I wasn't going to stop until I got one."'
Herd product a Buffalo star
'Five seasons removed from his time in Sioux Falls, Vanek has quietly evolved into one of the league's elite players. Along with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and Washington's Alexander Ovechkin, Vanek represents a new wave of young talent entering the ranks of legitimate superstardom in the NHL — gifted youngsters with crisp playmaking skills and natural goal-scoring abilities.'
Lockport resident supplies music at HSBC Arena
'Q: What does a typical night consist of? A: I arrive about an hour before the game to do a sound check; there are a LOT of wires connecting to the speakers, so we have to make sure everything is set up. During the show I wear a headset so I can hear the producer, and he'll tell me when and sometimes even what to play. I play mostly rallies, to get the crowd excited.'
Paille making his case
'Paille's effort came after a chat with Ruff. Paille had been called up Jan. 13 from Rochester and suited up for the Sabres that night, but Ruff wasn't impressed with Paille's effort and let him know it. "I know I didn't have a good game," said Paille, Buffalo's first round pick (20th overall) in the 2002 NHL entry draft. "We had a little talk and he made me realize I had to step it up a little bit if I want to continue playing here. I want to be here and I'm going to do my best not to do that again."'

Unused applications could be slowing your Mac
February 23, 2012 Leave a comment
OS X Lion slowing you down?
One possibility for a slow computer is unused applications running in the background.
To check go to "System Preferences" / "Users & Groups" / "Login Items."
On my Mac Lion had the two apps running and four that failed to run. The four that failed to start were no longer on my computer. I had removed them long ago. The other two were GeekTool and Google Chrome. I selected all the apps and hit the "-" to remove them from the Login Items list. Removing the apps from this list will not uninstall them.
Note: Always check and make sure you are not removing any apps that need to be there to operate properly.
This is just one possible reason for a slow computer. But for me it was all I need to fixed the problem.

Belmont bandstand
Restoring Belmont's bandstand 'a labor of love'
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | February 02. 2014 9:02PM

That's because the 1908 bandstand was built to high acoustic standards. In those days, there were no speakers or amplifiers. When a musician played or a singer sang, the perfectly angled bandstand ceiling was the only source of amplification to crowds that gathered on summer nights for concerts.
"It's a labor of love," he says.
The bandstand restoration, while not technically part of the larger downtown restoration project, is important to bring back the town's historic character, said Linda Frawley of the town's Heritage Commission.
The bandstand, which is now located a few feet from where it was built in 1908, has been moved while residents searched for its new home. It now sits in a perfect place, Frawley said, across from the historic Belmont Mill buildings.
Painting and installing electricity will complete the work. Frawley said the project should be finished by the fall of 2015 at the latest.

ABC's Gibson, Stephanopoulos repeated GOP spin on "pretty good" economy, ignoring that wages are barely keeping pace with inflation
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
On ABC's World News Tonight, anchor Charles Gibson cited a poll showing that 60 percent of Americans disapprove of President Bush's handling of the economy and asked chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos to explain the "disconnect" between this disapproval rating and the fact that that "economic numbers are pretty good." Stephanopoulos responded by quoting unnamed "Republican strategists" who attributed the low poll numbers solely to high gas prices. No perspective was offered from Democrats, who might have noted that wage increases are barely keeping pace with inflation.
During the May 30 broadcast of ABC's World News Tonight, anchor Charles Gibson cited a May 16 ABC News/Washington Post poll showing that 60 percent of Americans disapprove of President Bush's handling of the economy and asked chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos to explain the "disconnect" between this disapproval rating and the fact that "economic numbers are pretty good." Stephanopoulos responded by quoting unnamed "Republican strategists" who attributed the low poll numbers solely to high gas prices. Gibson and Stephanopoulos reported no perspectives from Democrats, however, who might have noted that the "economic numbers" aren't "pretty good" for many Americans and might have offered an alternative explanation for the 60 percent disapproval rating.
The New York Times reported on May 7, for example, that Democrats point out that "wage increases for most workers have barely matched inflation over the last few years," despite the fact that "statistics on economic growth look good." The paper quoted Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, who said, "Until people get a raise, [Bush is] not going to get [more credit for the economy]." Indeed, as the nonprofit Economic Policy Institute (EPI) noted in January, an analysis of economic data for 2005 shows that during that year, despite the fact that the economy expanded for the fourth consecutive year, wages for low- and middle-income workers fell relative to inflation, while still increasing for top earners.
As Media Matters for America previously noted, Stephanopoulos said during the May 16 broadcast of World News Tonight that "a president just shouldn't be at 33 percent when you've got 89 percent of the country optimistic about their future." Stephanopoulos was discussing the president's overall approval rating from the same poll with former co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas, who, like Gibson, had asked him to explain the fact that "polls show this remarkable disconnect" because "[p]eople are very unhappy about the president and his administration but are very happy with their personal lives." Stephanopoulos's only explanation for this "disconnect" was the administration's handling of Iraq, asserting that the disconnect "is a challenge and an opportunity for the president. The opportunity is, if things can turn around in Iraq ... everything else should turn around as well." He did not mention gas prices during that report.
From the May 30 broadcast of ABC's World News Tonight:
GIBSON: We're gonna turn next to ABC's chief Washington correspondent, George Stephanopoulos, joining us from Washington. George, our poll indicates that 60 percent of this country disapproves of the way the president is handling the economy. And yet, the administration is frustrated because, basically, the economic numbers are pretty good. So, why the disconnect?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the disconnect is from two words, Charlie: gas prices. And as I was talking to Republican strategists on Capitol Hill today, they said that [treasury secretary nominee] Hank Paulson, unless he can magically bring those gas prices down, isn't gonna make all that much of a difference in moving the public on the economy or the midterm elections. That said, he is very well respected on Capitol Hill. And all the soundings I got today is that he should sail through to confirmation.
GIBSON: In addition to the hopes on the part of the administration that he can sell the president's economic policies on Wall Street and to the public, what other reasons are behind the Paulson choice?
STEPHANOPOULOS: I think the biggest one, Charlie, is his ability to handle a global financial crisis. So far, President Bush hasn't had to deal with that. Unlike President Reagan who had James Baker deal with one in 1985 or President Clinton, who had Bob Ruben deal with one a decade later. In that kind of a crisis, Hank Paulson is well respected on Wall Street. As Betsy pointed out, he's well known at the highest levels in big countries, like China. And he's proven in high-pressure situations. Exactly the kind of man you'd need.
GIBSON: All right. George Stephanopoulos from Washington.
From the May 7 edition of The New York Times:
So six months before the midterm elections, both parties have come to mirror-image conclusions: the economy, say Democrats and Republicans alike, will help our cause.
To Democrats, it is part of a three-legged strategy, along with Iraq and Washington scandals, to nationalize the election by making it a referendum on Mr. Bush. They are emphasizing that even though the statistics on economic growth look good, wage increases for most workers have barely matched inflation over the last few years. ''George Bush doesn't understand why he doesn't get more credit for the economy,'' said Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. ''Until people get a raise, he's not going to get it.''

Saving your Queenslander
03 February 2013 , 11:32 AM by Rob Minshull
The iconic Queenslander: if the floods didn't affect yours, then one may have been hit in your street. Almost certainly something happened to a Queenslander in the town or city where you live.
So many of us live in a classic Queenslander and, if you haven't seen a Queenslander under water where you live, there have been many sad photographs and images of them on the TV News or newspapers as once again so much of the State went under water.
But how much do you know about the construction of these classic Queenslanders and how would you go about fixing them once they dry out? Last year, Warren Boland spoke to Andy Jenner, a carpenter by trade and now an author by design, who wrote a fascinating and detailed book full of advice, photos and diagrams for owners, restorers and tradesmen alike.
The book was called The Building of the Queensland House: A Carpenter's Handbook and Owner's Manual and this weekend Andy is talking to Warren about Queenlanders and how to repair those homes damaged by the floods.

Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise: Off to School in Manhattan
Enjoying a beautiful morning in the Big Apple, Katie Holmes took her daughter Suri Cruise to her private school today (November 27).
The "Dawson's Creek" darling looked fresh-faced and in good spirits as she escorted her little girl past a crowd of commuters while paparazzi looked on.
As for the upcoming holiday season, Holmes and her ex-husband Tom Cruise are keeping things civil with regard to Suri's time.
An insider told press, "Katie and Tom are focused on Suri and as part of their divorce agreement, Suri will spend Christmas with Katie. They are trying to be amicable and Tom will see Suri over the holidays – but on Christmas, Suri will be with Katie and her family."

Wondering if any of you have been hunting the Gunpowder River/Hart Miller area sites. I did a great deal of diver hunting there over 5 years ago, and got frustrated with the process as it always seemed like the same guys got "lucky" when they called in requesting the best sites. I've since purchased a bigger (19ft blind rig with 40hp Yamaha) rig and am more confident getting out in rougher water.
Any information would be great! Thanks

Patriots rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld won't play on every down Sunday against the Bills, but he may play enough to be worth a start in 12-team fantasy leagues. Boston Globe NFL writer Ben Volin was asked Tuesday on Twitter what he thought about Sudfeld in Week 1 and if he will start.
"Maybe 30-40 snaps?" Volin responded.
Fantasy Analysis:
All we can do is guess. The Patriots won't be saying an interesting word about how often Sudfeld will play. He is a bit of a risk at that snap count, but he is a talented player who will most likely be one of Tom Brady's first three looks when on the field. And don't forget that the Patriots put up 89 points in two games against the Bills last year. There should be plenty of offense to go around for all of Brady's top targets.
