The ABCJLM Curriculum...
Simplicity is the key to this Christian, Bible-based preschool curriculum site. The curriculum is basic enough for the most energetic child but allows for supplemental material to be added for the child who desires more sit-down activities. The learning is incorporated into the child's day instead of controlling their day. The key is allowing the preschooler to explore, play, and learn new things through trial and error; not through "drill and kill."
Four different curriculum are available or in the process of being written - one for each age 2-5 years old. Each curriculum builds upon the other with a foundation of the Bible and preparation for Kindergarten being the goal. The 36 week curriculum is intended to be taught from August to May so that the Bible themes and reviews coincide with holidays. However the program is flexible enough to be started whenever it is convenient. All curriculum follow the same general plan.
The 2 Year Curriculum focuses on themes with corresponding Bible stories. Bible stories are supported with memory verses, songs, and finger plays, poems or nursery rhymes. Academically, 2-year-olds is introduced to colors, shapes, counting to 10, and saying letters. The child is also taught self-care and manners along with personal information. A "Book of the Week" introduces your child to some of the best preschool books in print according to ABCJLM users and our family.
The 3 Year Curriculum consists of a chronological study of Bible stories starting in Genesis. Each Bible story is supported with a memory verse, song, and finger play or nursery rhyme. Academically, 3-year-olds learn colors, Letter of the Week consisting of the uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and basic math skills including shapes, sorting, spatial concepts, and patterns. Gross and fine motor skill activities are also included in this curriculum. A "Book of the Week" introduces your child to some of the best preschool books in print according to ABCJLM users and our family.
The 4 Year Curriculum is geared toward those children who will be entering Kindergarten the next year. It consists of the Fruits of the Spirit and character traits which are supported through Bible characters, memory verses, and songs. Academically, 4-year-olds learn how to write their letters, numbers, name, phone number, address as well as learning about the seasons, senses, and tying a shoe to name a few. Also basic math such as shapes, colors, spatial concepts, sorting, opposites, sequencing, and patterns are learned. Gross and motor skill activities along with visual perception activities are also a part of this curriculum.
The 5 Year Curriculum is in the process of being written and Lord willing will be fully available in early summer. This Pre-K curriculum is written for children who are older or more advanced. Think of this curriculum as an introduction to early elementary studies.
Whether you plan to homeschool for several years or just during the preschool years, the curriculum are set up to prepare a child for Kindergarten in a public, private, or a home school setting. Sunday school, preschool, daycare and other group settings will also find it easy to use the curriculum. While everything on the website is free for individual family home use, upon ABCJLM users' request, the curriculum and worksheets are now available to order in book form.

Using the above table, you can figure out which curriculum would be appropriate for your child. Because each curriculum builds upon the previous one it is best for the child to know the previous curriculum's objectives. Because some children, like our own, have summer birthdays, they may have an additional year of preschool. The 5 Year Curriculum has been written specifically for them.
The ABCJLM Curriculum and this website are free for the teaching of children in a individual family, home setting under the Terms of Use only. Use of any idea or printable on this website and/or the curriculum with any child not in your individual family whether in a daycare, childcare, preschool, church or other setting requires the purchase of a License first.

Looking to Build a Home? Here's 8 (Free) Apps You Need
To continue our series to aid you in your quest to build a prefab, modular home, we thought we would share with you some of our favorite apps that can provide assistance to your quest. From apps that help you store your ideas, to apps that help you find the lot you've been dreaming about, we try here to highlight the best.
Evernote (Free) > Let's say you are thinking about building a custom, modular home with Greenfab. With Evernote, you can create a file of ideas you want to incorporate. So, when you are driving through town, and see a home you love, take a picture of it with your smart phone and save the picture to a designated folder in Evernote. Additionally, when you are surfing the web and come across an article that mentions something you want to incorporate into your design, save it to that same folder in Evernote. Have a random thought? Save a voicenote to that same folder. There are thousands of ways to use this simple tool. You can download it for your desktop at http://evernote.com/download/. Make sure you also download the Web Clipper at http://evernote.com/webclipper/
Pinterest (Free) > Pinterest is a great place to get and store inspiration. You will find everything from design ideas for your kitchen to inspiration for your garden. Furthermore, you can create your own "boards" to pin things you like. So, if you see a design you love, pin it to your board so you can remember it later. You can also "repin" other's pins onto your board if you like them. Warning: It is HIGHLY addictive. If you are brave enough to join this craze, make sure you follow our Greenfab boards, at www.pinterest.com/greenfab.
WhitePages (Free)> We have mentioned in previous posts that the best resource for finding out about a piece of property is to talk to the neighbors, but knocking on a door can be intimidating. Whitepages has the unique ability to do a "Reverse Address Look-up." This will give you the person's name and phone number if you are more comfortable with that.
Investopedia (Free) > Buying a home can introduce new financial terms that you may or may not be familiar with. If you are like us, you hate it when you feel like the only one in the room that isn't familiar with a term or concept. Investopedia is simply a dictionary that is geared towards financial terms.
Google Currents (Free) > Building a home can be an intimidating process. It is helpful to stay on top of the latest industry news and inspiration in the prefab and modular home industry. Google Currents gives you access to articles from Magazines like Dwell, and sites like FreshHomes.
Quicken Mortgage Calculator (Free) > Use Quicken Mortgage Calculator to quickly calculate what your monthly payment will be, or how much you could afford, based on a monthly payment.
Mint (Free) > Any financial advisor will emphasize the importance of making sure you stay on track financially while you are looking for a new home. A financial misstep could cost you in your ability to build the home you want. Mint is the simplest and best tool we have seen so far that helps you budget and track your expenses while automatically keeping track of ALL your accounts.
Zillow (Free) > This is a great tool to have with you when you are out searching for property to build a new Greenfab home on. Zillow allows you to see what homes in the area are going for, when they have sold, and for how much.
Have any apps you recommend? We'd love to hear from you!

" 's (owner) responses (both email and phone call) were timely from my initial request for a quote. He came out and we talked through my basement's symptoms, likely causes, and suggested solutions. During the two days of floor work, the teams ( by ) were simply amazing. They protected the grass, cleaned-up afterward, and much more. provided experienced plumbing advice and repairs. was very flexible and went out his way to ensure the job was done right -- as if *he* was the homeowner. And ultimately, that's what you're looking for in a company."
"The dig-out and pouring went extremely well. Sand was everywhere for a while outside the house but they did a decent job cleaning up. They used a conveyor belt out one of the basement windows. The window got banged up but it didn't matter since we were putting in new ones. He stuck to the time frame that we had discussed. It took a couple weeks with a short break in between for a previously scheduled vacation and the plumbers to lower the sewage system. They worked peacefully with the plumbers.

Chicago Waterproofing Contractors Reviews
"We were very pleased with the service and had used them before in a previous home (condo building). I would highly recommend the company as their pricing is fair and the product is very high quality. It was great that the company offers a variety of products at different prices so that the system can fit the needs of the home/building. Also, the installer also did an excellent job with the setup and cleanup after completing the work."
"Throughout the entire process, stretching some three months from first estimate to the work being finished, they handled themselves with complete professionalism. When I called with an issue they responded promptly. They tried hard to work with me in what I wanted within the constructs of what needed to be done. They were excellent at communication. The work was done in the time frame they said and at the cost they said. I did have one issue with them that bothers me. The new sump pit was supposed to drain into the yard, but the city of Chicago inspector wouldn't permit that and made us tie it into the main sewer line. This may potentially cause us problems down the road b/c if the backflow preventer is necessary but we are still putting in sump pit water behind it then that sump water could back up into our basement. We didn't have a choice b/c the city inspector demanded it, so that part is not ' fault. But should have known that was a city code requirement and told me that. It might have made a difference in relation to the work I would have chosen to do. We have not yet experienced the spring/summer/fall rains with these new systems, so I cannot comment on their reliability yet. But overall, I was very pleased with other than the city code problem they should have known about. I would certainly use them again."
"Overall, from the phone call I made on Monday morning to the repair that was finished by early Thursday afternoon, everything was done quickly and went extremely well."
"They were very good. The basement leaked after they sealed the crack because it was very cold but they came back within two days and fixed it. They apologized for the leaking and came and fixed the problem. They were very friendly, professional and punctual. They came, gave the quote, and had everything completed within a couple of hours."
"This was a mixed experience at best.
I originally had a problem with water on the basement floor. I called a couple of companies to look at it and give me estimates. PermaSeal proposed what seemed to be the most technically reasonable solution at what I deemed a fair price: putting in perimeter French drains and adding a sump pump to the basement. They would tie the sump into a waste stack so that it would flow into the main drain. Another company had proposed to do only half the perimeter and direct the sump flow into the space between my house and my neighbor's. PermaSeal's proposal was to code, so I chose them
I had to reschedule once due to illness and there was no problem. They showed up promptly on the newly rescheduled day.
The work proceeded without issue until they got to the laundry area. Opening the floor in the laundry area uncovered broken drain tiles. They had warned me that this happened occasionally. Unfortunately, there was no way to tell if they were already broken or if the stress of hammering open the floor cracked them. Either way I had to call in a plumber and city inspector to have them repaired at significant additional expense (not reflected in the price estimate I've given with this report). The crew did what they could to complete the job but left the laundry floor open so the plumbers could do their work.
Once the plumbers were done, I scheduled a return visit to pour the final concrete. The PermaSeal person who came out for to do this told us to mist the concrete for 24 hours to keep it from cracking. He asked if the original crew told me this. They hadn't. There are now numerous cracks in the new concrete.
After a few months, water returned to the same spot on the basement floor. A crew came out to look for the problem. I had to remove the paneling in the basement so they could inspect the foundation. They then sprayed water on the side of the house and determined that the problem was tuckpointing. It may be that the original issue was tuckpointing all along, but the original inspection didn't suggest this at all. So, now I don't know how necessary this entire experience was, plus I have to repanel and retile the basement"
"We had mysteriously-spurting water coming out into our basement through a crack in the concrete slab. In less than 2 hours, they completely resolved it, with a small amount of concrete demolition, some drain-clog-clearing and pipe hole repair, and new patch concrete poured to repair the slab.
They left the site in better-than-broom-clean condition, and put everything back that had to be moved to get into that (awkward) corner. They were on-site and doing work less than an hour after my initial call. Very happy with the service."
" came to give estimate (I already had three estimates, but I am thankful I contacted for a fourth). He simply has a wealth of experience and knowledge, pointed out what work was required and what work was not, answered all questions, and accommodated my schedule. He was professional with a caring, funny, great personality. I chose his bid because he was honest and straight-forward. His price was better than the other companies', and they had proposed work steps that proved to be unnecessary. By comparing bids and presentations, I could easily tell that 's company offered the best craftsmanship at the best price. The work was done according to schedule and the results were fantastic. A dirty, nasty space was converted into a dry, clean, sealed and well insulated crawlspace/mini-basement. All work was completed by hard-working, efficient, nice work people--who cleaned up everything! Communication was great! Follow-up was fantastic! The office workers, and April, were always very nice and helpful. I have worked with many contractors and work people in renovating this wonderful home-- and Crawlspace.com were among the best!!! I give them my highest recommendation! Many thanks!!!!"
"They gave me a per foot quote on the phone, showed up on time with the proper equipment, repaired the crack and accepted my coupon and check. They told me what to expect as the epoxy cured then cleaned up the area better than it was than before they arrived.
we've had several large downpours since the work was done and not even a hint of moisture in the basement.
Overall very satisfied!"

Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Dear Members of the Commission: I am writing to you today to let you know how I feel about my Quixtar Business. I have never been in business before and when I saw this opportunity, I immediately signed up. The reason is because everyone/eachperson/even the lowest of income person purchases consumer goods. And if by my consuming, I can make money, that is good. It is also good for the manufacturers wanting to reach all markets, as well as for the individual who wants quality and value by consuming through his/her own business. The Quixtar business model is open to anyone who wants to invest $65.00 This is very low when comparing it to other business ventures and their fees to start a business. Everyone I talk to knows about the consumer site as well as the choice to take the opportunity to make it their business. It is not a get rich quick scheme, nor is there any pressure to join the business. If he/she is not happy with this opportunity, I give the money back. I would like to tell you that some of the specific requirements that you want us to do would affect the quality of my business. The requirement of providing a list of local IBO's to prospects, I believe is an infringement of privacy to my business partners. If my business partners want to share their names and addresses, they would do so. ALSO, the other objection is the probablility of my prospect signing up as and IBO under one of these references. I would be unable to stop this as the prospect has the option to type in the upline sponsor's name on the website by him/her self. And that would not be fair competition for MY business. In reference to the requirement to provide a "seven-day waiting period", a "litigatoin list", "earnings disclosure", and "financial substantiation" to all prospects, I think is too much. I thought this information was only required by your own tax advisor/preparer. At this time, I cannot give any of this information as I am just at the beginning stages of my business. Once again I just wanted to let you know that I was opposed to some of the provisions of the FTC proposal "Trade Regulation Rule on Business Opportunities." They would penalize my honesty and cripple my sponsoring efforts. I feel I make every effort to honestly inform my prospects of the Quixtar business and its opportunities. Thank you for your time and attention in reading my concerns regarding your proposal. Elizabeth Straz, new IBO, Illinois

Apr 2012 Featured Car Feazy and his 1958 Air Ride Beetle |
Eddie Chambless and a friend found this car in Troy Alabama back in Nov 2011. It was pulled from a barn where it had been sitting since 1988. They parked the car because of a leaking hardline in the brakes. Eddie snatched it up for $700!!! After putting new tires on it, Eddie trailered it back to FL. With only a new 6v battery and new fuel pump she fired up and drove. (with no brakes still) This car is incredibly untouched, esp to survive the 80's without any modifications! It has original radio, antenna, washer diaphragm w/squirters, and reverse lights. All were not standard items from the factory but were dealer installed. It had the original motor 1200 36hp (which is under restoration) I tell Eddie my dream project for the car and with his ever growing collection of VWs, he decides to sell it to me Feb 1st 2012 That week the body comes off and goes into storage. The chassis comes home with me for a complete rebuild. The beam was swapped for a brand new one narrowed 4 inches and shock towers extended 3 inches. The rear spring plates were notched and all new seals and rubber installed. The rear pan halves were replaced. All the while keeping the original carpet the best I could. The front and rear was then fitted with Airkewld's complete ariride system, which involved extensive welding done by my friend Shane Kahl. Though I would have loved to have kept the OG 1200, I couldn't find a logical way to run the air system on 6v. So I dropped in a stock 1600dp color painted to match the chassis with earthy moss green and rust red. Once the chassis was complete, it was brought back to the shop where the body has been stored and untouched. Three guys and a forklift and the body was back on. Some minor tweaks (like blowing a throw-out bearing up) she was on the road. Finished product was my dream car. A beetle completely untouched showing its true age but with a new chassis and new motor. Oh and layed out on the ground!!! Thanks for all the help from the club. Rob, Oz, Eddie, Mom, Rick, and Shane. |

ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente has announces a brand new nanotech training program for Mohawk Valley teachers.
The SEMI High Tech U Teacher Edition will take its first class of 40 teachers this summer. The two day course is meant to jump start schools into teaching nanotechnology classes as soon as next year.
The courses provide teachers with enhanced skills for teaching science, technology, engineering and math.
Picente hopes starting nanotechnology training with children will lead to an established trade in the area.
"It's really investing in our teachers, in our students. So as we grow and as we expand and as we land a nanotechnology firm, we have the work force of the future already beginning to, the seeds are planted, the work begins," Picente said.
The program has already trained 150 people in other parts of the state.

New Year, New YOU! ... Too Ambitious?
Studies show that a mere 8% of people keep their New Year's Resolutions each year. We start out full of motivation for the first few days or weeks, but soon give into cravings and bad habits. And, by the time the year is no longer new, resolutions tend to get chucked out with the rest of the turkey and Christmas leftovers.
So, if you want to beat the statistics, you're going to need to make some choices. We've put together a few tips to keep you on track, slowly but surely.
Decide on one thing and focus on it. Like with anything else you set out to do, achieving one goal at a time is easier than spreading your attention on several different ones. Perhaps your resolution could be to achieve one monthly goal you set for yourself.
Be realistic. Pick a safe and attainable goal, rather than overwhelming yourself. Resolving to cut out ALL bread, pasta and pizza is likely to fail, for instance. Start with cutting down on one item from your normal diet each month.
Don't give up the moment you slip up. Many people feel defeated if they miss one morning jog or eat a bread roll. Don't. That is just a lazy excuse to give in and give up. Put it behind you and get yourself back on track straight away – not tomorrow.
Write down your goals and keep a record of your accomplishments. Just like with a report card, track your progress. For example, if your goal is to lose weight, take a picture of yourself every day or every couple of days – the difference will be small but it will be noticeable. This will keep you motivated and excited about your progress.
Give it a month. Studies have shown that it only takes three weeks to break any habitual cycle. Care to prove them right? Set a time frame of one month but do not expect instant results – a quick fix is rarely the answer, so stick with it.
Reward yourself. If your goal is to stop smoking, then give yourself a treat every milestone – the first week, month and beyond.
Do you have a knack for keeping your New Year's resolutions? We would love to hear how you do it in the comments section below.

I enjoy the sweater and shell patterns very much. As I learn more about the advanced knitting I will try a lot more of the patterns. I'm looking forward to the next issue. Keep up the good work. |

I enjoy the sweater and shell patterns very much. As I learn more about the advanced knitting I will try a lot more of the patterns. I'm looking forward to the next issue. Keep up the good work. |
I always look forward to receiving my issue of Creative Knitting. Thank you so much for an excellent magazine!
I was looking for a pattern to knit a tote bag. Then I received the January 2008 issue and on page 62, you have the Gadabout Tote. The shape is exactly what I was looking for. I love your magazine. I just renewed so I can get more great patterns. I'm also knitting the sweater in the November 2007 issue on page 32. I love to knit. A lot of items that I knit I give to others. Since June I have knitted 28 tote bags in different sizes. The tote on page 62 has side panels that I was wondering how to do, now with the pattern in hand, I see how to do it. Thank you for your wonderful magazine!
I was going to let my subscription lapse for Creative Knitting and then I received my last issue, the January 2008 issue. It was loaded with projects that I wanted to knit. Then it occurred to me, that out of all of the knitting magazines I subscribe to, (about 5) Creative Knitting is the only one I have actually knit from. I am going to renew. Keep those great patterns coming and I can't wait to start the top down sweater. That is something I have been wanting to try for a while. |
I love your magazine! I teach a class for beginners thru advanced knitters at our local Senior Center. I live in North Carolina where all the ladies crochet, but don't know anything about knitting. I've been doing it for the last six years. It has been a challenge, but I love doing it. I've been knitting since I was eight years old, more than 60 years.
My mother and my aunts were knitting sweaters for the Red Cross during WWII. The only thing I could do was hold the skeins for them to roll it into balls. I complained and complained till they finally took the time to teach me. I was a quick study and was able to knit the sleeves for their sweaters, I was so proud of myself.
Thus began my love of knitting.
Your magazine has been an invaluable aid. I have made many of the items you have featured. |
I just wanted to drop you a line to say that your January 2008 issue is really wonderful! |
I have made several items from your fantastic magazine. I like how you have written the instructions for each project so clearly and if there is a difficult part, you always have a demo to learn from. I would like to see more little and youth size boy patterns that are simple and masculine. My grandsons think grandmas needles can do wonders. |
I want you to know I am enjoying Creative Knitting magazine more than I have ever enjoyed any magazine. I made the hat and scarf in the January 2008. |
I want to say that I LOVE your magazine. I've been getting it for a couple of years now. I try to make at least one item out of each magazine. Thank you so much for such a wonderful knitting magazine. |
I am a very happy subscriber to Creative Knitting. |

Retired athletic director Lorin Cartwright will always be a Pioneer, in more ways than one
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Thirty-two years later, Cartwright is finally taking that next step. In June, Cartwright retired from Pioneer after 32 years with the district, including the last 17 as the school's athletic director.
"It was quite a fluke really, I never really felt like I was going to stay at Pioneer," Cartwright said.
"I felt like now is the right time because there were days when I was going to work that I was not as happy as I'd been in the past," Cartwright said. "I needed a change of venue at that point."
But walking away from that venue won't be easy. How could it, when her impact goes far beyond anything accomplished on any of the athletic fields she helped develop?
"Lorin is a legend in her own right. To do the things that she has done at Pioneer is incredible," said Dottie Davis, athletic director at Huron High School.
Sleeping on the job
Cartwright arrived at Pioneer in 1980 after having spent the previous year working at Grand Valley State University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in physical education and health and biology. She was hired at Pioneer to be the head athletic trainer.
If not for a chance phone call, though, Cartwright may have never come to Ann Arbor.
"I sent my resume in, and there was no response to my resume," Cartwright said.
Hearing nothing back, Cartwright decided to follow up and call to inquire about the job. Athletic secretary Betty Smith answered the phone and was shocked to hear that Cartwright hadn't been contacted.
"I can remember it so clearly, she said 'they haven't called you?' I said 'no,' and she said, 'well you're the only one qualified for the job.'"
The following Monday, Cartwright accepted the job before she even had a place to live in Ann Arbor, so she improvised.
"I lived in the training room, and I slept on the benches in the training room," Cartwright said. "Every morning I'd get up and go in the girls' locker room and take a shower and change into whatever I was going to wear today, and away I'd go."

In addition to working as the head trainer, Cartwright was also teaching three hours a day at Foresythe Middle School. Between the two jobs, Cartwright was making far more money than she would have working for a college program.
"I was working about a 60-hour work week and was happy as a clam, living on something along the lines of $24,000," Cartwright said with a laugh, "Thinking I had hit the pay dirt."
Soon, Cartwright began to think about giving back to the profession that helped her so much. She ran for a position on the Michigan Board of the Athletic Trainers - and won.
"I don't know what they were thinking," Cartwright said.
Richard Ray a colleague of Cartwright's at the time was the one who encouraged her to run and knows first-hand what they were thinking.
"She was well-spoken and cautious with her language. She was well-informed and quick to educate the public about the benefits that athletic trainers play in society," said Ray, who is currently the Provost at Hope College in Holland, Mich.
Cartwright eventually became the first high school trainer and first woman to become president of the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers Association.
"I was a pioneer from that prospective, but I was very well supported by all the people I was involved with. They wanted me to be the president," Cartwright said.
GLATA's membership represented 25 percent of the athletic trainers in the United States, making it one of the largest bodies in the country.
According to Ray, she was a perfect fit in the role.
"She's kind of a trailblazer. She entered a territory that was predominantly men. It was a pretty amazing feat on her part," said Steve Rodriguez, longtime golf coach at Pioneer. "That's why she was so successful, because she just pulled up her chair and said, 'here I am and here we go.'"
Throughout her career, Cartwright has been a beacon for advancing women's roles in sports, both on and off the field. In her tenure as athletic director, girls teams have won 54 state championships.
"She was always a leader in pushing female athletics and making sure they got the recognition that they deserved," said Saline High School athletic director Rob White.
"We are all better for it, with the things she has done. With women being empowered in so many different areas; not just as an AD, but assistant principal," Davis said. "Kids can see that and say 'wow, one day I could do that.'"
'How bout you?'
As Cartwright was settling in as GLATA president, Pioneer was in the midst of change in its athletic department. Rodriguez served as the interim athletic director in 1994, but made it clear the school needed to find a replacement.
Bob Galardi had just become the principal at Pioneer and immediately sought out Cartwright for her opinion on who should be considered for the job. After speaking with Cartwright, Galardi knew exactly who he wanted as his next AD.
"How bout you?" he asked her.
After taking some time to think about it, Cartwright accepted. But like Rodriguez, she only wanted to serve on an interim basis.
"I'd made a name for myself at this point in athletic training all over the country," Cartwright said. "I wasn't interested in leaving that."
As the 1994-95 school year was coming to a close, Galardi asked if Cartwright was willing to stay on as AD. She agreed, but only until a permanent replacement could be found. Galardi, however, was determined to keep Cartwright in that role. In order to change her mind, he wrote her a note listing the top-ten reasons why she should stay as the permanent athletic director.
"His number one reason was 'because Bob Galardi needs it,'" Cartwright said with a smile. "I still have that note."
Cartwright wanted to become an AD at some point, but didn't see herself in that role for a few more years.

But unlike at the college level, Cartwright is left to do the majority of the day-to-day operations on her own. Depending on the day, Cartwright could be found taking stats, announcing or painting lines on a field.
"We don't have development people, or marketing people or sports information people. That's me," Cartwright said.
Cartwright estimated that she worked 60-70 hours per week and that included working on weekends and virtually every holiday in order to keep things running smoothly.
"The time away from your family and friends is very, very difficult. They've (athletic directors) got to like what they do," Cartwright said.
And then there's the parents. Oh, the parents.
"Every parent believes that their kid is by far-and-away the best," Cartwright said. "And they really are the best. They are the best kid that that parent has.
"But it's about the kid being skilled enough to keep himself safe when he is playing and to do what is in the best interest of the program."
That approach to the conflict was a major confidence booster for the coaches at Pioneer.
"She is a coach's AD. She's not a micro-manager. She trusts her coaches. As long as they are following the rules, she gave us the freedom to run our sports," Rodriguez said. "She made it so easy to be successful and she instilled an element of trust and support that almost made us feel like if it was within reason, she would support us.
"She never shied away from (handling conflict). She rolled up her sleeves and was right there."
Building a Legacy
Gradually, Cartwright began making her mark on the program and developed Pioneer athletics into what it is today.
That includes upgrading and building many of the facilities that now exist on Pioneer's campus.
AnnArbor.com file photo
Cartwright is particularly proud of the improvements made to the athletic fields and the relief she's felt knowing students need not worry about poor field conditions.
"I can remember the first year we had field turf on Hollway field, I would just sit up in the bleachers and just stare at the field," Cartwright said. "It was just so wonderful to know that for generations there was going to be a surface there where kids can play their sport and not have to worry about getting hurt."
Cartwright was instrumental in developing the alumni base that now is an integral part of Pioneer.
"What I really like is the way she's brought back and celebrated the alumni and kept them involved in the tradition of Pioneer football," said football coach Paul Test. "It has been instrumental to the football program."
Cartwright started the Pioneer Hall of Fame, designed to honor the athletes that have succeeded at Pioneer and beyond. Hall of Fame members include numerous former NCAA champions, All-Americans and professional athletes.
In her time at Pioneer, the school won 80 state championships. The boys lacrosse team nearly sent her off with a final championship in the final event she oversaw this spring, but finished Division 1 runners up. Choked up on the sidelines afterward, Cartwright lamented about how good a run it had been.
Success on the field was always a welcomed bonus, Cartwright didn't place a focus on it.
"Her focus was always on the student-athletes. She could always bring it back to what's best for kids," said White. "It spoke about where her priorities were."
And it's the kids whom Cartwright said she'll miss the most about the job.
"The kids make you old, but they also keep you young. They learn so much from athletics, and to see each one of them grow and develop over that span of time is very important," Cartwright said.
End of an era
Cartwright didn't hesitate to start enjoying her newly found free time.
"I went to Paris for five days. I went to Munich for four and Austria for one," Cartwright said. "I already have my next (vacation) lined up for Christmas; I'm going to St. Martin."
It was a relaxing time for Cartwright, who usually spent her summers preparing for the hectic fall-sports seasons. When she isn't jet-setting to a foreign country, Cartwright plans on spending time with her family and friends.
Don't expect her to stay away from Pioneer for too long, though. Cartwright said that she will be around to help Claar transition into her new role.
"I'll do what Eve wants me to do," Cartwright said. "This is something that Eve has trained for for a long time. I think she deserves the opportunity. Eve is a great athletic director."
For Claar, having Cartwright around to help ease the transition serves as an immeasurable asset.
"It's pretty sweet. She has every answer I need, and she is sitting in the office with me. I can't ask for anything more than that," Claar said.
Even though it's coming 32 years later than she thought, Cartwright also plans on finally taking that step into the world of collegiate athletics. She said she is considering volunteering her time at Eastern Michigan University or at the University of Michigan sports medicine departments.
"I do want to get back into the athletic training education," said Cartwright, who has written multiple textbooks on the subject. "It's going to be on my time. I'm going to decide how much I want to do this."
Hopefully she won't have to sleep inside Michigan Stadium.

A History of Exile in the Roman Republic
- Hardback
- Publication date:July 2006
- 270pages
- Dimensions: 228 x 152 mm
- Weight: 0.503kg
Roman senators and equestrians were always vulnerable to prosecution for their official conduct, especially since politically motivated accusations were common. When charged with a crime in Republican Rome, such men had a choice concerning their fate. They could either remain in Rome and face possible conviction and punishment, or go into voluntary exile and avoid legal sentence. For the majority of the Republican period, exile was not a formal legal penalty contained in statutes, although it was the practical outcome of most capital convictions. Despite its importance in the political arena, Roman exile has been a neglected topic in modern scholarship. This 2006 study examines all facets of exile in the Roman Republic: its historical development, technical legal issues, the possibility of restoration, as well as the effects of exile on the lives and families of banished men.

Rate This Recipe"I have to agree with the others on this one. It was tasty, but needed a little zip. I heeded the adviec of others and made these changes which made the recipe even better. I cut the recipe in half so ..." See morenote accordingly. I cubed the chicken and tossed with the cinnamon and cooked for less time, about 15 min. I used a half of a jalapeno, a whole garlic clove, i added cayenne to the potatoes before going in the oven, the whole lime, a bell pepper with the onions, olive oil in stead of canola, and lots of cilantro right near the end. the potatoes needed a little non-stick as well, but otherwise, different, and really a nice meal."
"This is my recipe...submitted long ago and never realized it got published...looked at the original recipe and realized the reason many say the chix is dry is that they published the cooking temp for ..." See morethe potato not the chix...lower the oven temp for the chix...or lower the cook time. So honored it got published and enjoyed...guess I should make it again:)"
"yay! i didn't change much in this recipe, but I did use sweet potato instead of regular potato, cuz it's better for you tastes better too, IMO. My husband said it was one of the best dinners I've eve..." See morer made.... and we've been together 12 years so that's a lot of dinners! I served it with some NO FAT sour cream, which was a good call because it would have been too dry without being able to dip it into some cream, but that said, it was way yummy and i'll def make it again. And it's not bad for you either, so it gets all five stars. Thanks!"

You are here: Home > FAQ > Cork Flooring FAQ
We are pleased to provide answers to some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on a wide variety of our products. For more information on our cork floors please browse our selection of outstanding quality products, visit our hardwood floors articles, or browse the answers to our frequently asked questions.
Q. What is cork flooring?
Cork flooring is a product made from the bark of the cork oak tree, a material which is ground, processed into sheets and baked in a kiln to produce tiles that serve as flooring for offices, light commercial locations, and residences.
Return to Top Shop For Cork Flooring
Q. Where does cork flooring come from?
Cork flooring is most popularly harvested, manufactured, and sourced in Southern Europe, with Portugal being one of the most prominent regions from which cork comes. This is an area where the cork oak species is plentiful and where hand-harvesting is most practical.
Q. Why is cork known to be an environmentally sensitive choice?
Harvesting the cork oak for its bark is strictly regulated, limiting such harvesting into nine-year cycles. The individual cork oaks must be at least 25 years old before they are harvested and when they are, the health of those cork oaks must be ensured. The cork oak is harvested by hand, and remains unaffected by the harvesting process. The bark of the cork oak grows back, leaving the cork oak as healthy as ever. As such, cork flooring is one of the most renewable sources for flooring there is.
Q. Is cork flooring a new idea?
Cork flooring was first used popularly at the end of the 19 th century. By the early 20 th century, Frank Lloyd Wright was incorporating cork flooring in some of the public buildings he designed. Many of these buildings still feature these original cork floors.
Q. Will cork flooring be tough enough for my home or office installation?
One of the characteristics of cork flooring is its resilience to pressure and impact. Because of its cellular nature that features millions of microscopic air pockets, cork flooring has "memory" that allows it to withstand foot traffic and the pressure of furniture legs (best if the legs have felt protectors), taking its original shape after impact.
Q. Is cork flooring a good option for pets?
While no natural wood floor is entirely scratch-resistant, cork flooring is more adaptable to claws caused by dogs and cats than many other natural wood flooring options. This is due to the general resilient nature of cork flooring, which is naturally impact resistant.
Q. Why is cork flooring known to be a good insulator?
The cellular nature of cork flooring allows warmth to be held in, making it a very warm flooring to walk on, even in winter months. Another aspect of the kind of insulation cork flooring provides is that of sound, which is naturally absorbed. This makes for almost silent footfalls and can have a significant quieting effect in areas which are normally associated with echoes and other distracting ambient sounds, such as in foyers and hallways.
Q. What makes cork flooring naturally moisture resistant?
A natural substance found in cork called suberin, a waxy material that is a key component in the makeup of the cells in found in cork, is responsible for the moisture-resistant nature of cork and cork flooring. Suberin is also insect-resistant as well as adding a level of fire resistance. Although cork flooring is resistant to moisture, it is still a good idea to mop up excessive wetness as soon as possible as such levels of wetness can have ill-effects in the long term.
Q. What makes cork flooring a good option when thinking about falling and impact?
Cork flooring is cushion-like, made as it is of about 50% air that is locked into microscopic compartments which act as natural shock absorbers. This can be quite beneficial when you've dropped dishes and glasses. It can also a positive effect when accidental human falls occur. For areas used by children or the elderly, this can be a major benefit.
Q. What about colors? Are all cork flooring tiles the same?
Q. Can I install my cork flooring myself?
Evora cork flooring from BuildDirect comes with a UniClic locking system which makes for ease of installation, requiring about the same level of flooring installation experienceneeded for a laminate flooring project, for instance.
Q. What areas are the best places to install cork flooring?
Generally speaking, the best places to install cork flooring are on-grade (the level of the surface exterior to the space) or above grade (the second floor of a building, for instance). Areas where a lot of dampness and moisture, such as basements with newly poured subfloors, should be avoided. Subfloors must be level, dry, and clean before installation is considered.
Q. Over which surfaces can I install my cork flooring?
Cork flooring is very accommodating and installation over concrete, wooden subfloors and tile are commonplace. The surface upon which you install your cork flooring must be level, dry, and clean.
Q. Does cork flooring require underlayment?
Evora cork flooring does not require underlayment, just a vapor barrier in the form of a plastic sheet.
Q. How do I keep my cork flooring clean?
Regular mopping with a damp mop will be sufficient in keeping your cork flooring tile clean. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, and do not overwet your floor. Try to clear obvious mess quickly. Spills can be absorbed with a sponge or paper towel to avoid the possibility of permanent stains.
Q. How long will my cork flooring last?
Evora cork flooring through BuildDirect has a 25-year structural warranty. Adequate care and attention of your cork floor will have a significant effect on its life span.

Florida Bill to Repeal Red Light Cameras To Be Considered
Filed under Civil Liberties , Crime , Florida , Issues , RLC Chapter News , RLC News , States , Transportation
A Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida-supported bill to repeal the red light cameras enacted last year will be considered by the Florida House of Representatives. The legislation, HB 4087, will be considered by the House, while its companion version in the Senate, SB 672, is stalled.
Melissa Wandall, whose husband, Mark, from Bradenton, was killed by a red-light camera runner in 2003. At the time, Wandall was nine months pregnant. Wandall vowed after her husband's death to do something about drivers who run red lights. She pushed for the law former Gov. Charlie Crist signed last year, known as the "Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act."
However, Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Trinity, cited a slew of examples from cities and states across the country where he said the cameras were not preventing accidents.
Courts have thrown out many red-light camera tickets, he added, saying the problems with implementing last year's bill are "overwhelming." Corcoran argued intersections could be made safer using other measures, such as changing the timing of traffic lights and improving signage and road painting. "Let's step back and figure out a way from scratch where we can make these intersections safer for our families."
A portion of the $158 fine issued to drivers caught by the cameras goes to the state. Since July, the state has received the most money from Orlando ($1.1 million), Miami Gardens ($928,000), Aventura ($911,000) and Hillsborough County ($907,000).
The bill now heads to the House floor.
One of the pieces of the Florida RLC's 2011 Agenda includes "banning red light cameras" because, "Our Constitution says citizens have a right to face their accuser, yet their accuser in this case is a machine."
Last week, Tea Party and libertarian groups including the RLC held protests throughout the state to support Richard Corcoran's bill to repeal the red light cameras.
