Blue Diamond opens a new plant in California to meet global almond demand
Almonds for yogurt toppings, snack bars and cereals will be processed at this plant.
Blue Diamond's new 200,000-square-foot plant opened in Turlock, Calif., on Tuesday, June 18. The company termed the facility "deemed to be the largest single almond investment since 1910 when the cooperative organized the industry."
Blue Diamond President and CEO Mark Jansen said the plant "supports the significant growth in our global almond ingredients business with a facility that sets new standards for food safety. While increasing our capacity and enhancing our capabilities, we are also able to produce efficiencies that allow us to confidently invest, knowing there is significant payback to growers for their investment."
The 200,000 square-foot plant (on an 88-acre parcel of land at N. Washington and Fulkerth roads) represents almost half of a three-phased capacity enhancement project scheduled to be completed over the next 10 years. The first phase will yield over 300 jobs, including 100 direct jobs, an estimated 123 additional indirect local supplier-based jobs and 79 jobs induced from increased consumer spending in the community, according to Randall Svedbeck, Research Manager for the Stanislaus Economic Development and Workforce Alliance.
The phase 1 expansion will meet growing global demand for value-added almond ingredients from the great food companies of the world. Cereals, snack bars, yogurt toppings, baked goods and candies are amongst the many destinations for products from this plant.
"Our brand has led the world tree nut industry in new product innovations," Jansen said. "At the same time, value-added revenues for Blue Diamond's Global Ingredients business exploded by 69% between 2009-2011 and almonds continue to rank No. 1 as the leading nut in new food products worldwide. Our expanded manufacturing capacity couldn't come at a more critical time as record demand drives us to process at a faster pace to support our global customers in their growth!"

Social Media + Travel Dream #BEDM
DAY 9 - Social Media...#BEDM
Well I'm a self-diagnosed obsession with Pinterest. You can check out my boards HERE. It all started w/ one board of Black & Red things and it catapulted into a daily habit that I could get lost in for hours and hours. I love it...But it's so me. I was the girl with the posters all over her bedroom walls of the cute boys from 16 & Teen Bop magazine, I had the magazine cut-outs of dresses, I had the editorial photos that took my breath away and more all nestled away in trapper keepers galore. Pinterest has saved the lil space I have left in my apartment. I can virtually pin anything I want to my wall. =)
From Pinterest has spawned one of my favorite sites for a humor pick-me-up too. Pinterest Fails. I just love them.
Please don't hate me, but I don't fully grasp the whole Twitter idea. I use Twitter to let people know when I've exercised, when I've posted a new blog post, and then I'll tweet a news article or two that I find interesting or funny. That's it. Every time I see the 52 new tweets or 35 new tweets notification after I've only been on it for mere minutes I get overwhelmed. Mostly the "new" tweets are people replying to other people but I didn't know the original conversation so I'm like "What the hell are people talking about?" It gives me great aniexty and FOMO (Fear of missing out) when a reply to someone else is fun and interesting. Maybe I don't use it enough or need to get the hang of it. =/
Day #10 - Travel Dream #BEDM
My travel dream is Paris, France. I wish I had Dorothy's ruby red shoes and could click my heels and be there. I'm not exactly sure where my Paris dream came from, but I have such an awe for Paris, the French language, and all trimmings. It seems like such a dream.
*Shaking my Piggy Bank*
My best friend, Danielle and I have decided to go to Paris for our 30th birthdays. That's 2 & half years away. I think that's more than enough time to start saving up! When I break a dollar I put my change in my piggy bank, when I find loose change which somehow I ALWAYS do I put in there, and when I return my water bottles & soda bottles to the super market I've been asking for coins so it can start adding up.
I'm hoping this Paris truly becomes a reality. I'm really hoping! =)
Another Reason to LOVE Pinterest - {Pin}
This post is part of the #Blog Every Day in May challenge from Rosalilum! =)

I have the same trouble with twitter but I am kinda obsessed with it . I use pinterest when I am hungry ;)

Pay cheques get fatter at PEC
Chandhigarh, October 10th 2008, Express News Service
For the students passing out from the Punjab Engineering College (PEC), the placement season for the 2007-08 academic session, has been nothing less than a fairy tale. Five students were offered hefty packages of Rs 9.21 lakh per annum by Microsoft while five others were offered salaries of Rs 8 lakh per annum by CISCO. The other students have been offered pay packages ranging between Rs 5.5 to 7 lakh.
The authorities at the PEC maintain that the turmoil in the stock markets have had no major impact on the placement activity. Talking to Newsline, K K Garg, Training and Placement Officer, said: The companies have reduced their intake by almost 30 per cent, but that has not impacted us. It is because the companies look for quality that we are never short of. They are always ready to hire our students.
Of the 66 companies that visited the campus, the prominent names included: D-Shaw, Microsoft, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, Tata Motors, Free Scale and others.
PEC Director Dr Manoj Dutta said, The trend has shifted from software to core engineering streams and students wish to join companies dealing in core engineering related aspects. He added, The PEC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JCB, CSIO and Phillips.

Saturday Snapshot - Tsongmo/Changu Lake - Sikkim
Saturday Snapshot is the brain child by Alyce of At Home With Books. It is currently being hosted by Melinda of West Metro Mummy Reads. It's easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Melinda's site.
This week I am sharing some pics of Tsongmo Lake in Sikkim, India.
Tsongmo/Changu Lake is a glacial lake situated at a height of 12400 feet. It is about 40 kms away from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. We were lucky to find snow there, the views are absolutely breathtaking.
Clouds covering the mountains..
Grey Clouds settling in..
The other side.. Can you notice the winding roads..
Thank you for stopping by! Cheers!

ReplyDeleteStunning views! I had no idea that there was landscape like this in India. I always forget how large of a country it is and what diversity of geography is there.

Album Summary
- Sylvain Bergeron (Theorbo)
- Margaret Little (Viola)
- Mathieu Lussier (Bassoon)
- Kate Orden (Bassoon)
Notes & Reviews:
Michel Corrette was born in Rouen on April 10, 1707. His father, Gaspard, began his education. Though holding many posts as an organist for 50 years, his major efforts were in composing all the vocal and instrumental genres of the time. He also made a name for himself as a pedagogue, publishing method books that promised amateurs they could eventually play any instrument "perfectly." 'Le Delices de la Solitude,' a group of six sonatas, is a perfect demonstration of his diverse and robust talent. All told, they include varied dances, Italianate movements, and fugatos.

Auction Completed and Now On To Spring!
I saw this awesome flower arrangement on Crate and Barrel's website and fell in love. I hope you can see it okay, if not, here is the link. I love green and purple together in nature and the pop of pink just makes the entire piece shine. I think I will be picking my hydrangeas a bit early this year, instead of letting them dry like I usually do. And my pink roses might need to be a substitute.... now if I can just remember.

Colon polyps are growths on the lining of the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which are parts of the digestive system.
The 2 most common kinds of polyps are:
The cause of most colon polyps is unknown. It may be partly due to hereditary factors.
There are certain genetic conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, which cause many polyps to form.
Colon polyps are more common in people over 50 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of colon polyps include:
Symptoms are often not present. Polyps are often found during an endoscopy, colonoscopy, or x-ray. If symptoms are present, they can include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Images of your internal body structures may be done with a barium enema or an abdominal x-ray.
Depending on the size of the polyp, it may be removed. Large polyps are at high risk for becoming cancerous. They should be removed. Usually, polyps can be removed during colonoscopy.
If the polyps are very large, you may need to have surgery to have them removed. Your doctor may send the tissue from the removed polyps to be tested for cancer.
It's not clear how polyps can be prevented. However, the following guidelines can help you stay healthy and may help prevent not only polyps, but also colon cancer:

Posted by emfleekI'm surprised Rogan and Goldberg thought Jones was going to be awarded the victory. As soon as Maz waved the fight off, I knew it was going to be declared a DQ in favor of Hamill.I'm sold on Jones now, though. I was reluctant going in to this fight to believe the hype. But now I do. Good God, that kid is going to be good.

The Bullfighter
I arrived in Nimes a the day before the Sting concert, and I wanted to get a few shots of the old city right away. The weather and light cooperated! Maybe this is the best preserved Roman coliseum in the world? I don't know that for sure, but it's the best one I have seen. And, even better, it's still in good enough shape that they use it for concerts, bullfights, and even swimming events! In front of the coliseum is this grand bullfighter. It's kind of the main "meeting place" for many people in this area, so I had to be extremely patient waiting for people to clear the area so I could get a shot! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.EuropefrancerepublicFrenchLanguedocRoussillonGardsouthern francenimescityromanVia DomitiagaulamphitheaterarenabullfightarchitectureancienthistoryhistoricalNikon d3xjuly2011statuesculpturebullfighterexterior77BigRetag

One could argue that people with insane amounts of Instagram followers are always posting the best selfies. But what if the secret was not in an editing app or in the subject's flawless features, but in the actual phone case? Beyoncé's stylist, Ty Hunter just released his exclusive version with a built-in selfie-light, and while Queen Bey hasn't gotten hers yet, we're sure she will bless us with a selfie soon enough. In the meantime, learn how Instagram's most followed (think: Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Kim Kardashian) are protecting their precious phones.

Apple iPhone 4 Specifications | Review
source: Apple (1), (2), (3) via Engadget
1. cc16177 (Posts: 312; Member since: 09 May 2010)
But... Steve Jobs says there's no problem? :)
18. PapaJay224 (Posts: 866; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
I agree with gambino37, I just didnt want my post to be all the way at the bottom of the page. But when Verizon Moto Droid had issues with the battery back falling, off they offered FREE, yeah FREE, battery back covers for customers experienceing the issue. I agree Nintendo sent out FREE rubber bumper controller covers. A GOOD company will look after its people that invest in its product, not create a problematic device that requires the purchase of additional products just to function correctly. Its unfortunate, but good for Steve Jobs, that a company has made a product so desireable that people are willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING about a phone that makes a phone, for the iPhone, it makes me sick, more sick at the people that own them than Apple themselves. But shame on Steve, George Bush Jr., Jobs, for pretending this isn't an issue. For the price you pay for all his crap, month after month, year after year, this should be a no brainer. i will tell you one thing to, love it or hate it, Microsoft WOULD replace the part or give you the free Case, Verizon would, Nintendo would, all these respectable companies. It really proves that Apple is tight wad, selfish, preditors. I will not only for this, but millions of other reasons, never buy an Apple prduct...Speculation or not.
25. YouLostTheGame (Posts: 441; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
How the hell does the "dubbya" come into play in your rant?! Wait, wait, don't tell me...you're probably a clueless lib.
27. corporateJP (Posts: 2444; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Easy answer to the question asked in the article title: Apple has no clue on how to make a phone, never has, never will. All Apple can do is countersue everyone that they stole patents and technology from, starting with Bill Gates, IBM, Sun Micro, Gateway, Dell, Qualcomm, Nokia, and HTC (sorry if I missed any over the last two decades) to make it look like they did indeed build something from bottom-up on their own. Then, in the end, you will all worship Mr. Jobs and call him by his new title of "MASTERFAG", all while playing Papertoss on your glorified iPod that poses as a phone 12% of your useless existence as a slave to the antichrist himself. Rock on, poseurs.
32. PapaJay224 (Posts: 866; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
Come on "YouLosttheGame" Its obvious a reference to Bush's War on Terror and the epic failure that turned out to be nothing but shadows and promises that were made and American people were being told nothing was wrong when there was. Not Lib, maybe "Lib"rary, how about you learn to read. Anyone who has been "awake" for the last 4 years knows what Im talking about. And please don't start a politics debate on here, youll make yourself sound like a child, and so far thats your own little secret.
35. YouLostTheGame (Posts: 441; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Oh yeah, I started the politics talk, when you brought up Bush in the first place...nice one. Awake to what? Your own little LIBERAL smoke and mirrors, cloak and dagger bullshit?! You people trump up everything that happened in the Bush years as his fault, all the while denying the fact that our country went into a tail spin the day the Dem-controlled congress came into power. Now all your ridiculous pipe dreams will come to an end this November, and we can actually work to keep this country from getting worse. What I really find interesting though, is how the current administration hasn't actually done a single thing to improve things! And now they've come out and stated that "Oh yeah, um, all those jobs people had before, we won't be able to get nearly all of those back..." Go ahead, keep ranting, let's see how jaded you really are...
39. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
Political talk in a cell phone forum...interestin. Guess its all intertwined somehow i'm sure...
2. zerglisk (Posts: 544; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
They are hiring because they just fired their current antenna engineer....
3. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
They are hiring because they have an antenna problem, period. Im not starting any Android vs iPhone arguments here but strictly from a business standpoint all of the iPhone problems and how they have been dealt with so far is ridiculous. I wish that more of the posts and information on phonearena and other techie sites made it farther out to the mainstream media. I bet half the people that have had the "left hand death grip" problem dont even know that #1 the problem was admitted #2 An update solution was planned #3 The update was cancelled with Jobs saying there was no problem to begin with and #4 now they desperately need antenna engineers. As many people have said on this site, problems with phones will happen. That is almost unavoidable, but how the problems are dealt with, really shows the character of a company. I think the rubber bumper cases should be given for free. Look at Nintendo for example. People breaking stuff with Wii controllers, which isnt even a hardware problem to begin with, and Nintendo sends out rubber cases for all controllers. FREE OF CHARGE. Apple should provide the cases for free instead of charging $30. The whole situation stinks and kind of reveals the lack of concern Apple actually has to the consumer. Sure the sales are through the roof, as was to be expected, but is the bottom line really the most important factor when dealing with a big name company like Apple?
4. ilia1986 (unregistered)
That would be true my friend - if you were talking from the consumer standpoint and not from the business one. Because from a business standpoint, Steve has already sold more than 1.7 million iPhone 4s in less than a week. That being he most successful sale of an apple product ever. From a business standpoint. So for Steve indeed there is no problem. No problem at all.
5. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
I guess I mistyped because my post was from the consumer viewpoint. Any way you look at it, the sheep are being led astray.
6. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Yes.. but because there aren't any wolves nearby, the sheep are pretty safe. At least for now.
7. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
ila1986, I agree and disagree... iPhone sales are due to repeat customers, to maintain repeat customers you have to put out a quality product. If they show no concern for a product flaw it DOES show their character and also will lead other consumers not to purchase their product or at least wait until bugs are worked out. Apple shouldn't be happy with the 1.7 million phones sold when they have the potential to sell billions of phones over the generations of future iPhones if they can maintain loyalty. The iPhone is no longer the cutting edge device that was once released, it's slightly outdated and relies on the name and loyal consumers. Hopefully Apple will quickly realize this and solve the problem...
9. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Haha, I like the figurative language you guys are using, but anyways I completely agree. I'm not saying I'm a sheep, but although I want to return my iPhone because of apple's response, I don't want Android. And the problem is that 95% of new released phones are Android. 4 new samsung galaxies, the droid x, the droid 2, droid incredible, htc aria, htc evo, mytouch slide, etc. I now know that Apple is evil, but it feels like Google is trying to shove Android down my throat.
10. cc16177 (Posts: 312; Member since: 09 May 2010)
It is interesting, I work for Verizon and I had a customer in the store today who actually had an active iPhone 4G (I won't go into details) and I couldn't believe that he wasn't more upset about the issues with the iPhone. He readily admitted to me that he had experienced issues about a quarter of the time, and with the phone in my hand I had a tough time receiving a signal without holding it a very specific way. What surprised me the most was that he also realized it was most likely a hardware issue and when I asked him what he would do if they didn't fix it he replied "I'll just hold it a certain way". That completely boggles my mind. I also asked him "how long have you had it? Can you return it?" and his reply was "It was hard enough to get why would I return it?" I just don't understand the minds of most iPhone users...

The wolf is bad business practices. I already stated that my argument wasn't iOS4 vs Android. Your wonderful product made by Apple doesn't give two shits about customer satisfaction.

BB user - those 1.7 million could not all be repeat customers. This is the most successful product Apple sold until now to date - from their perspective. Now as for those billions of sells all across the planet. That's not Apple's goal. This is not Microsoft. Steve himself said at D8 2010 when asked about the fact that his market-share has surpassed MS by one percent - does it mean anything to him. His response was largely indifferent. He said that conquering the world with his products is not the goal of Apple. The goal of Apple is to make the best products they can. This is his quote. Now as for the iPhone 4 - I'ts hard to say anything specific here. Steve says that the screen is extra resillient, but drop tests made by people have shown otherwise. Steve says that the external antennae is a genius engineering design. But people have reported problems while holding the phone at specific places without a bumper protector. I think that the best way to look at this is objectively. The iPhone still provides the smoothest performance and experience there is, and is still has the most amount of apps. It is up-to-date when it comes to hardware compared to other phones out there. Sure, it may not have the customization and freedom of Android, and there is only one way to do everything - the Apple way, but for most people this is offset by the aforementioned features. Those of you who like freedom, hate being confined to anything specific, love to experiment and fiddle with their phone, who love widgets and customization and accept the chance of errors, crashes, and viruses in order to make their phone 100% theirs - the Android platform is for you. Those who want the smoothest and best performance possible, and the most amount of apps - with the ability to DL them from a PC - and an organized software suit using which one can manage his phone - coupled with security and overall stability - at the cost of personalization, lack of freedom and as a result lack of certain features - the iPhone is for you. This may sound biased - but it's not.

of course it is bias.... the product is flawed end of story....i own an imac and hell i even own stock in the company but i dont own an iphone, mainly because of the carrier it is tied to.... but even if it wasnt the phone has too many flaws. fix it steve!!!!
14. markemark11 (Posts: 47; Member since: 07 Jan 2010)
so Apples goal is not to sell as many iPhones and make as much money as it possibly can?
15. ilia1986 (unregistered)
The product is flawed, yes, but it's not the only one that is flawed - many other products which are produced on a daily basis also end up flawed. Thing is - the consumer has the means to make the flaw insignificant - by buying a bumper case of sorts. Not that it's right, but that's what that consumer would have probably done anyway. Not every product that is flawed makes it possible for the consumer to remove such a flaw, even at his or her own expenses. And everyone has their first major screw-up when it comes to a certain brand. This is the iPhone's first. It actually could have been a lot worse. Imagine that if every 5 minutes your phone would freeze and require a restart. So yeah - the product is flawed, and Apple has made mistakes, which is bad on their part, but there is no reason to look at this as anything different from the myriad of other flawed products which end up on a daily basis on the shelves. From froods containing dangerous bacteria in them, to buses manufactures with a faulty breaking system.

Iphone is a Fashion statement , just like women when it comes to shoes it may not be comfortable but it looks good especially to show off with lol
19. PapaJay224 (Posts: 866; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
And for the few 100,00 that complain you comp them the case, that allegidl "FIXES" the issue, its not like hes sending 1.7 million cases. even if he did, Apple buys them at like 2.00 a piece...tight wads.
20. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
Once again ilia you seem to be missing the main point of the argument. I'm sure we would all agree that flawed products come with the territory. That is not the argument. And you say that Steve Jobs doesn't care about "sells" and making money? HA. Don't tell that to the shareholders. Bottom line is that a company is there to make money. We all know that. When a company makes a solid product and gains respect in doing so, that's the ultimate goal. The iPhone deserves all the respect in the world for what it has become. However you say time and time again that Apple's goal is a smoothly running product that is the best at what it does. This is not the case with the iPhone 4. It is an Apple miscue this time that is causing the problem. The antenna flaw should at least be addresse and resolved to the best of their abilities. Perhaps free cases. And if you think about it, dropping calls constantly is just as bad as a system freeze anyway. A phone is supposed to make calls first. Everything else is a bonus. You drop a call and have to re accomplish the whole process all over again. This problem should at the very least be acknowledged by Mr. Jobs, instead of him blowing it off as a consumer issue. If I owned an iPhone 4 I would take it as him spitting in my face.
22. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
ilia1986 I would say the majority of the 1.7 million ARE repeat customers. That said you yourself said that Apple's goal is to sell the best product and if it has such a severe flaw it's not the best product. You are the one that brough up the 1.7 million sales. Apple does strive to grow their market share as that's business 101. Apple SHOULD step up and fix this. As for them being "up-to-date", they aren't. They are always a few steps behind, which is sad to see when they created the market for touch screen app driven phones. "best performance", I think signal quality and screen coloration are huge issues when determining who has the best performance.

"Those of you who like freedom, hate being confined to anything specific, love to experiment and fiddle with their phone, who love widgets and customization and accept the chance of errors, crashes, and viruses in order to make their phone 100% theirs - the Android platform is for you." really? i've had the Droid and now the incredible, and i may steal a family members upgrade to get the X and i've never had a crash or virus. You are simply trying to diminish the first OS to give Apple a run for it's money. And yes, almost every word of this piece is apologizing for and attempting to gloss over the fact that Apple failed this time. One would think you were paid by the company based on this little piece of propaganda you've cooked up
29. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
a lot of iphone customers are repeat, but not all of them. 80% of iphone users will buy another iphone and 70% of Android users will buy another Android phone. Basically the same thing. The only problem (and it is a big problem) that the iPhone has right now is its reception problem. Other than that, the iphone 4 is great. Engadget already said its the best phone to date. And I don't understand the "always a few steps behind" stuff. They were late in upgrading multitasking, mms, folders, copy and paste, etc. But all of them with the exception of multitasking (for now) is the best. And Android has a lot of "catching up" to do also. Why can you only search through email in the gmail app? What can't you pinch/zoom through emails but you can in other parts of the phone? The copy/paste needs some serious big time editing. And also I don't know why its so hard for Android devices to open some .doc and pdf files that iOS can open easily. I thought viewing these files were basic smartphone capability, but ever since using my sister's Droid I guess its not so much. And why do the apps suck so much? Everything bad about Apple gets elevated to such high levels. I didn't even know these problems existed on Android until I actually spent a lot of time using it.

People aren't gonna return the phone they are to blindsided to see the real probably, they are just gonna wait for a hardware update or whatever solution that will come about, Just like when other phones have issues
21. thatdude1 (unregistered)
The phone is definitely flawed. How anyone(lookin' at you, ilia1986)can justify the consumer fixing the problem by purchasing a case for it, when it is apples fault to begin with, is pure idiocy. A pretty UI and smooth user experience does not make up for a phone that only allows you to make calls when held a specific way. Crapple needs to fix their itoy 4 ASAP!

Notice & Note Strategies for Close Reading by Beers & Probst Facilitators: Christine Cho, David Lai, Glenda Govea
Objective: Teachers will be familiarized with 6 signpost to assist with close reading strategies Using signposts to lead to deeper understanding. A scaffold that will help students to infer, predict, better understand the conflict, the plot, and characters.
Signposts Everywhere
The Six Different Signposts o Contrast Contradictions o Aha Moment o Tough Questions o Words of the Wiser o Again and Again o Memory Moment o Signposts are in order based on instances you will see most often to instances you will see least often.
When you are reading and a character says or does something that is opposite (contradicts) what he has been saying or doing all along, You should stop and ask yourself:
When you are reading and suddenly a character realizes, understands, or finally figure something out, You should stop and ask yourself: "How might this change things?" If the character figured out a problem you probably just learned about the conflict. If the character understood a life lesson you probably just learned the theme. Aha Moment!
AHA Moment Clues: The author uses to tell the reader that the character has come to an important understanding. They would say: "Suddenly, I realized..." "In an instant I saw…" "I now knew…" "I finally understood…" Aha Moment!
When you are reading and a character asks himself a very difficult question, You should stop and ask yourself: "What does this question make me wonder about?" Answers will tell you about the conflict and might give you ideas about what will happen later in the story. Tough Questions?
Tough Questions Clues Often tough questions show up in pairs. For example: "Why won't they talk to me anymore..." "Why is everyone treating me this way…" "Why'd I get left out?" "I wonder if…" "Should I tell on my friend…" Tough Questions?
When you are reading and a character (who is probably a lot older and wiser) takes the main character aside and gives serious advice, You should stop and ask yourself: "What is the life lesson and how might it affect the character?" Whatever the lesson is you probably found the theme for the story. Word of the Wiser
When you are reading and notice a word, phrase, object, or situation over and over, You should stop and ask yourself: "Why does this keep showing up again and again?" The answers will tell you about the theme and conflict, or they might foreshadow what will happen later. Again and Again
When you are reading and the author interrupts the action to tell you a memory, You should stop and ask yourself: "Why might this memory be important?" The answer will tell you about the theme, conflict, or might foreshadow what will happen in the story? Memory Moments
Activity "Going Somewhere Special" Read the Signpost Definition, Clues, Literary Element, Questions Underline Key Words and Phrases (5 minutes) Identify scenes in the story with the signposts by using post it note. Teacher share afterwards. Each table shares one that they found. Whole Group Discussion
Generalizable Language The book uses a terminology called Generalizable Language. Generalizable language is the language that you use to model think aloud. The language that you use has to make a connection to the strategy, so that the students can apply it to any story that they read. When you model think aloud: 1. Use generalizable language first. 2. Then use text specific language.
Generalizable Language "I'll stop here because I can imagine how hard it is for Luke to decide if he wants to risk going over to the other house. He knows he might get himself and his family in a lot of trouble if he does this, yet he has realized that he can't stay in his house forever. I can almost feel his nervousness. When we can make connections like this, we better understand the characters." VS. "I'll stop here because I've noticed an important contradiction. When authors show us a character acting in a way that contrasts with or contradicts what he has been doing, I know I need to pause and ask myself, "Why is the character acting this way?" Luke has been too afraid to leave his house and now he's contemplating breaking all the rules and going to another house. In this scene, Luke knows he might get himself and his family in a lot of trouble if he does this, yet he has realized that he can't stay in his house forever. I think he's acting this way because."
Generalizable Language SignpostsExamples of Generalizable Language To help students think about Contrast and Contradiction When the authors show you a character acting in a way that contrast how you would expect them to act you know the author is showing you something important about that character. Then pause and ask yourself, "Why would the character act this way?" As I think about this questions, I wonder if it might be…. To help students think about Aha Moment When the character realizes and finally understands something, then you want to pause because you know this realization means something. It might be showing you something about character development or a new direction of the plot. You want to ask yourself, "How might this change things?" Now that this character realizes this, I think that…
Activity Generalizable Language Let's practice with your table partner using Generalizable Language with the story "Going Somewhere Special". With the signpost that you identified in "Going Somewhere Special" practice how you would model the think aloud with your students. Use Figure 8 Generalizable Language for Each Notice and Note Signpost. Share out loud. (15 minutes)
Generalizable Language The names of the signpost are not as important as for the reader to notice something and then stop to consider what it means. By using generalizable language it shows that the strategy can be applied to any text. We are teaching a strategy or tool for students to use with any text that leads to deeper understanding. We are teaching students how to fish.
Teaching Signposts There is no one way to teach the signposts, we suggest: Teach one signpost at a time. Use a text with content that you think the students can deal with. The text does not have to be student's reading level, because the teacher is reading the text. The lesson for introducing the signpost should takes about 40-50 minutes.
Gradual Release Model Most Support from Teacher 1.Introduce the signpost and the anchor questions. To begin your lesson use real world personal example to hook the students interests to the signpost. 2. Tell students you will show them how the signpost you are teaching works by sharing a short text. 3. Read aloud up to the 1 st occurrence of the signpost you are teaching Point out what you saw in the text. Then ask yourself the anchor questions. Then share your thoughts.
Gradual Release Model Gradual Release of Support 4. Read the 2 nd occurrence of the signpost. Have the students think pair share the anchor questions. Share their response. 5. Read the 3 rd and 4 th occurrence this time release responsibility to the students. Ask students to both identify the signpost and discuss the anchor questions.
Gradual Release Model 6. Read to the end of the selection. Ask students to identify the most significant example of the signpost. Discuss the anchor question before reporting to the class. Lease Support from Teacher 7. Tell students to watch for signpost in their independent reading and jot down their thoughts as they think about the anchor questions.
Modeling of the Signpost Contrast and Contradiction – Langston Hughes
Assessment We want to listen for student conversation. We want to see what the students write in their graphic organizer.
Assessment Video of student conversation. Samples of student work.
Conclusion By using signposts students: Assume ownership of the question, rather than teacher generated question for every reading. Are able to learn and remember a few useful question that will help them identify with the character and author of the story Become independent readers, since they have the questions in their repertoire. Many other questions will naturally emerge which will become useful tool in other texts.
Teacher Task Create your posters K-2 Think about how you can modify these posters for your own class. Look through the T.E. and decide which posters would apply to the story.

Wedding season is almost here! If you've been procrastinating on wedding planning, now is the time to take action! Believe me, I KNOW planning a wedding is difficult.
I remember thinking, "What do I do first? What can wait until later? How do I put it all together?"
In hopes of simplifying the process I've created a free printable wedding planning timeline. Just follow along with the tasks each month and you'll avoid the stressful mad dash at the end.
Since every wedding is different I would recommend reading through the entire checklist first (making edits and notes as you go) and keeping a separate checklist for anything specific to your wedding that we might have missed (the horror!).
Happy Planning!

apr 2002 L. Folk, altarex Sub: Question
Hello I was wondering if Super NES or Nintendo 64 made a "Burgertime"? I
have the Atari version and just recently discovered that 8 Bit NES made a
version, and was wondering if I had any other options?
Thank You,
pontifex maximus responds:
Nintendo only ported burgertime to the 8 bit system. Here is what Church Father J.D. Lowe said in response to your question--
Nope, although I'm sure it'd rock. Burgertime died temporarily until that Super Burgertime game in the arcades, but they never ported either over to the SNES or higher.
There was an adapter that plugged into the SNES made by a company called Tri-Star in 1993, but you'd have to find one of these on ebay probably. The model number was F-012 and you can read about that and more add ons to the NES at http://www.thepong.com/Sites/Left/Nintendo/NPeri.htm
You do have other options if you want to collect the hardware. Coleco, Intellivision, Commodore and Texas Instruments all had burgertime, no to mention the PC and Mac versions. You can also download the MAME and the burgertime ROM and play on your computer. For more on the different ports of the game, check out our Incomplete History of Burgertime

Human RightsSecond 'beheading': More pressure on West? The Islamic State releases a video said to show the murder of a second American hostage. Inside Story | 03 Sep 2014 20:35 GMT | Human Rights, Middle East, ISIL, Media, Crime The Islamic State group has released another video, this time said to show the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. The 31-year-old had been filmed in another video released two weeks ago in which journalist James Foley is said to have been killed. The latest atrocity has been condemned by world leaders as inhuman, barbaric and pure evil. The video shows a third captive, said to be a British hostage, whom Islamic State has also threatened to kill. Titled A Second Message to America, an Islamic State fighter tells the camera that the killing is in retaliation for US air strikes on Iraq. The US is consulting NATO allies on possible further action against the IS. But does the answer lie closer to home? In the so-called surge in Iraq in 2007 and 2008, US troops worked with Sunni tribes and fighters against al-Qaeda. The grass roots Awakening Councils helped turn the tide against al-Qaeda's insurgency. But following years of marginalisation, can Sunni groups be encouraged to take on al-Qaeda's incarnation?

Climate Bill Seen as Sign of Political Shift
November 1, 2007 08:47 PM - Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A milestone, a landmark and "the political center of gravity is finally shifting on global warming."
Those accolades greeted a Senate subcommittee's approval on Thursday of a bill to cap greenhouse gas emissions, mostly because it is the first of a dozen such measures that might have a chance of becoming law.
The approval vote, 4 to 3 ,means the bill will be debated in the full Environment and Public Works Committee, chaired by longtime environmentalist Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Totino's and Jeno's pizza recalled due to E. coli
November 1, 2007 08:38 PM - Reuters
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Almost five million Totino's and Jeno's frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings are being recalled because the pepperoni may be contaminated with E. coli, General Mills Inc said on Thursday.
General Mills, which owns the Totino's and Jeno's brands, said the recall affects about 414,000 cases of pizza products currently in stores and all similar pizza products that might be in consumers' freezers. Each case contains 12 pizzas.
The possible E. coli contamination was uncovered by state and federal authorities investigating 21 E. coli-related illnesses in 10 states.

Australian man killed in water-rage attack
November 1, 2007 12:31 PM - Reuters
SYDNEY (Reuters) - A man has been charged with murder in Australia after an elderly man who was watering his garden was bashed to death in an apparent case of suburban water-rage. Australia is in its sixth year of severe drought and most towns and cities have imposed strict limits on household water use, prompting a rise in suburban arguments and neighbors informing authorities about those who waste water. In the latest incident, police said 66-year-old Ken Proctor was using a hose to water the front lawn of his suburban Sydney home when a man walking past made a remark about water waste.
Galaxy Warriors toys sold at Family Dollar recalled

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 380,000 "Galaxy Warriors" toy figures sold by Family Dollar Stores Inc are being recalled because the surface paints contain excessive levels of lead, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Wednesday. The Chinese-made toys, space figures about 4.5 inches tall that come accessories, were sold at Family Dollar stores throughout the United States from January 2006 through October 2007 and distributed by Henry Gordy International Inc, the agency said.
Want to Stop Superbugs? Clean up Hospitals: Study
October 31, 2007 01:20 AM - Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hospitals seeking to keep patients from picking up infections should focus as much on cleaning up invisible germs as on removing the visible dirt, a British doctor argued on Tuesday.
Clean hands can only go so far in protecting patients from infection if doorknobs, bed rails and even sheets are covered with bacteria and viruses, Dr. Stephanie Dancer of South General Hospital in Glasgow writes in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
But other infection experts differed on whether clean equipment and telephones affect a patient's biggest risk of acquiring a "superbug" such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA.
Moderate earthquake hits Northern California
October 31, 2007 01:16 AM -
OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck in a rural area about 9 miles northeast of San Jose, California, Silicon Valley's biggest city, on Tuesday night, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The earthquake was felt across the San Francisco Bay Area just before 8:05 p.m. (11:05 p.m. EDT). There were no immediate reports of major damage but the San Jose Mercury News Web site reported phone service failed in a part of Palo Alto, home to Hewlett-Packard computer company and Stanford University.
It said the quake caused minor damage and residents poured out of apartments in downtown San Jose to survey the damage.
Too many Halloween treats prompt health warnings
October 29, 2007 11:27 PM - Reuters
TORONTO (Reuters Life!) - While adults may relish the gore of Halloween, most children enjoy the night for another reason -- the vast amount of candy they receive which is prompting warnings to parents.
With concern growing about rising childhood obesity rates, medical experts advised parents to limit how much candy they allow their children to eat.
"I don't think the indiscretion of a single day or a couple of days around Halloween would have any measurable impact on that child's health," said Dr Michael Kramer, a child health and development expert at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
UV light may offer "double whammy" for cancer
October 29, 2007 11:14 PM - Michael Kahn, reuters
LONDON (Reuters) - Using ultraviolet light may one day offer a "double whammy" to kill cancer cells by better focusing antibody-based drugs and triggering the body's own defenses to eliminate tumors, researchers said on Tuesday.
In two studies with mice, a British team cloaked antibodies -- the immune system proteins that tag germs and cancer cells for elimination -- with an organic oil that blocked them from reacting until illuminated with ultraviolet light.
The researchers used engineered immune system proteins called monoclonal antibodies. They are made to home in on proteins known to be overactive in tumor cells.
Honduras finds radioactive material in container
October 29, 2007 11:11 PM -
TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Honduras authorities have found strong traces of radioactive material in a Hong Kong-bound shipping container carrying steel debris from an Atlantic coast port, officials said on Monday.
During a security scan on Sunday, officials detected high readings of radioactivity emanating from the container at the Puerto Cortes port, 115 miles north of Honduras' capital, Tegucigalpa.
"We immediately declared an alert and have seized the container for inspection," Edwin Araque, the manager of Honduras' port authority, said on Monday.

To get the perfect shot of an underwater sea creature or capture a scene in a rainstorm, an underwater camera should be used. Not all cameras are made to be waterproof, though there are various ways to waterproof an SLR, disposable or any other type of camera. Some options will cost you a lot of money, but there are other ways to waterproof your SLR using a few simple household items in a do-it-yourself manner.
- Skill level:
- Easy

Things you need
- 2 latex condoms
- Scissors
- Small piece glass
- Empty paper towel or toilet paper roll
- Cling film

Make a case out of cling film. Wrap the camera in cling film. Two or more layers will be most effective. Cut a hole in the cling film for the lens. Cover the lens with a small piece of glass to protect it.
- 3
Make a case using an unlubricated, very clear, latex condom. Place a cut-off end of an empty paper towel or toilet paper roll around the lens to create a protective barrier. Slip a condom around the camera and tie a knot at the end. Seal the knot using a glob of contact cement, such as Wetsuit glue. Repeat the process with a second condom. To minimise the formation of condensation, place a desiccant bag on top of the camera before covering it with the condom.

Location: Horticultural Crops Research
2009 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Evaluate the etiology and epidemiology of soilborne diseases of small fruit and nursery crops and the biology of causal pathogens. Develop, evaluate, and enhance strategies for the management of soilborne diseases of horticultural crops. Develop knowledge of mechanisms contributing to biological control of soilborne plant diseases.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Dose-response relationships between propagule density in irrigation water and disease. Identification of factors influencing pathogen dispersal and disease spread among containers in a nursery. A systematic survey of blueberry fields throughout the PNW will be conducted to identify nematode pathogens. Greenhouse and microplot experiments will be employed to determine the effects of a range of population densities of nematode species found in the survey on the health of a widely planted blueberry cultivar. Test the Electrocatalytic Oxidation/precipitation (EO) method. Identify factors influencing the efficacy of the EO method. Test the EO method in an experimental nursery setting. Use the recently-described genomisotopic approach to purify the two cryptic metabolites from cultures of Pf-5. Derive mutants of Pf-5. Assess the role of novel metabolites in biological control. Test toxicity of the purified metabolites. Evaluate gene expression by Pf-5 on seed surfaces using RNA isolation, labeling and hybridization. Characterize the nutritional composition of seed exudates. Generate derivatives of Pf-5 with mutations in selected genes. Test mutants for spermosphere colonization and biological control of Pythium damping off. Replaced 5358-12220-001-00D (3/03). FY03 $73,538 Program Increase. FY06 $133,650 Program Increase (memo #44). Replacing 5358-12220-002-00D (3/07). FY09 perm F/T from 5358-21000-037-00D (6/08).
3. Progress Report
We completed high quality draft genomic sequences of seven biological control strains of Pseudomonas spp., with the complete genomes of each strain represented on only 7 to 15 scaffolds.
We manually updated the existing annotation of approximately 70% of the genome of the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5, which serves as an important resource for the scientific community.
We completed microarray experiments identifying genes expressed by Pf-5 on surfaces of pea seed under the control of two global regulators, GacA and RpoS.
Using a collection of mutants of Pf-5 with stacked mutations in 10 antibiotic biosynthesis pathways, we identified the antibiotics responsible for Pf-5's suppression of Fusarium spp. and Pseudomonas syringae, and its phytotoxicity to rice and wheat.
We completed field experiments demonstrating that plastic shelters provide an excellent cultural control method for suppression of bacterial blight of lilac caused by Pseudomonas syringae.
A plant-parasitic nematode survey of blueberries was continued in Washington and expanded to include Oregon. During a survey conducted in 2008, it was discovered that Pratylenchus spp. was present in > 50% of the fields surveyed. However, in a greenhouse pathogenicity study where six blueberry genotypes were exposed to P. penetrans, very little or no reproduction of this nematode occurred on these genotypes. To determine where and when Pratylenchus spp. are associated with blueberry plants, a more in-depth sampling was undertaken to include blueberry roots and rhizosphere soil as well as weed roots.
Field microplots (a pot-in-pot system) were established to study the effects of the ring nematode, Mesocriconema xenoplax, on physiology and growth 'Pinot noir' grapevines. The first impact of M. xenoplax on grape production that we detected was fewer fine roots but higher root-soil respiration in self-rooted vines and vines on '3309C' rootstock than in tolerant or resistant rootstocks in 2007. By 2008, M. xenoplax no longer altered root-soil respiration, but affected aboveground performance of the vines.
A greenhouse study was conducted and is being repeated to study the pathogenicity of plant-parasitic nematodes on a range of blueberry genotypes. All genotypes except for rabbit-eye blueberry were excellent hosts for Paratrichodorus renifer.
Surveys of Verticillium dahliae in woody ornamental nurseries in Oregon are continuing. Evaluation of methods for isolation of pure cultures of V. dahliae are in progress. Greenhouse studies to evaluate suitable inoculation methods are in progress.
Efficacy of low doses of four alternative fumigants in reducing Pythium populations was compared to populations from nonfumigated plots and plots treated with methyl bromide. Three methods for isolation of Pythium species from soils were selected and have been used throughout the study. Quantification of prefumigation and 2 postfumigation Pythium populations have been completed from 3 forest nurseries. Isolates have been put into a culture collection and are currently being identified to species. Pathogenicity studies on Dougfir have been initiated.
4. Accomplishments
1. Nematode (Paratrichodorus renifer) resistance in blueberry. The stubby root nematode, Paratrichodorus renifer, has been shown to be widespread in established blueberry plantings in the Pacific Northwest. Very little is known about the biology and pathogenicity of this nematode in blueberry. A greenhouse experiment was conducted by ARS scientists in the Horticultural Crops Research Unit in Corvallis, OR to determine the host status of different blueberry genotypes to the plant-parasitic nematode P. renifer. Blueberry genotypes with genetic backgrounds including Vaccinium corymbosum and V. angustifolim were excellent hosts for this nematode, but rabbit-eye blueberry (V. ashei) was a very poor host for P. renifer with fewer nematodes being recovered than were added to plants. Research is ongoing to continue to understand this potential source of resistance which exists in Vaccinium. Knowledge of a resistance mechanism to plant-parasitic nematodes in Vaccinium can lead to the development of nematode resistant blueberry varieties.
2. Pythium species associated with forest nurseries. Pythium species associated with damage to conifer seedlings were traditionally identified on the basis of morphology, but morphological features may not adequately distinguish between Pythium species. Current methods using DNA sequences allow more accurate identification. A survey of Pythium species associated with damage to conifer seedlings in forest nurseries was conducted, and fifteen species have been isolated and identified on the basis of DNA sequence. ARS scientists in Corvallis, OR have tested twelve Pythium species for pathogenicity to Dougfir and all cause at least 25% mortality. This research identifies Pythium species not previously associated with damage to conifer seedlings. Knowledge of Pythium species that cause disease in conifer seedlings is essential in developing effective disease management.

Biospheres are self-contained ecosystems that support plants and animals. Biospheres may be terrestrial, freshwater, combination terrestrial/freshwater, or marine. Although it may take a few tries and a bit of adjustment, in terms of the number and type of organisms, to create a balanced biosphere, the final result will be a self-sustaining system. Biospheres enhance the aesthetic of a child's room or classroom, provide hours of entertainment, and promote scientific thought. You can create your own simple bottle biosphere in a single afternoon with only a few basic materials found in your home or collected from nearby wooded areas and ponds or streams.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Challenging
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- 2-liter clear plastic bottles with caps (2)
- Utility knife
- Drill and drill bits
- Cotton string
- Small gravel
- Soil collected from a wooded area
- Leaf litter collected from a wooded area
- Water collected from a pond or stream, with live organisms and algae
- Sand or soil collected from the bottom of a pond or stream
- Small shade-tolerant plant
- Small aquatic plant
- Small aquatic, algae-eating organisms (e.g., snails or fish)
- Small twigs or other decorative ornaments
Show More
- 1
Rinse the 2-liter bottles thoroughly and remove labels. Remove any non-transparent stabiliser pieces from the bottom of the bottles. Replace the bottle caps and screw them on tightly.
- 2
Cut around the top of one of the bottles approximately one inch down the straight sides below the neck to create a funnel-like biosphere cap and an aquatic reservoir.
- 3
Cut around the bottom of one bottle approximately one inch up the straight sides of the bottle below the fluted base to create a terrestrial chamber. Discard the bottom piece of the bottle.
- 4
Drill a hole through the centre of the bottle cap on the terrestrial chamber. The hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of your cotton string.
Biosphere Construction
- 1
Add pond or stream sand to the bottom of the aquatic reservoir. Also add pond or stream water to the aquatic reservoir to a depth of approximately six inches.
- 2
Add a few algae-eating, aquatic organisms, such as snails or tiny fish, and aquatic plants to the aquatic reservoir.
- 3
Cut a piece of cotton string two feet long and tie a knot in the middle. Soak the string in pond or stream water until fully saturated--approximately ten to fifteen minutes. Thread the string through the hole in the bottle cap on the terrestrial chamber so that the knot is in the bottle cap.
- 4
Rinse gravel thoroughly with tap water. Invert the terrestrial chamber and add a layer of rinsed gravel two inches deep. Be sure you don't bury the cotton string. Coil the cotton string in a spiral around the chamber over the gravel.
- 5
Add several inches of moist forest soil to the terrestrial chamber. Add a small amount of pond water to the soil if necessary. Plant a small shade-tolerant plant in the soil of the terrestrial chamber. Cover the surface of the soil with leaf litter containing small invertebrate organisms, such as springtails and pillbugs.
- 6
Place the terrestrial chamber into the aquatic reservoir. The bottle cap should be above the level of the water. Remove a small amount of water if necessary. The cotton string should hang into the aquatic reservoir--it will act as a wick to provide water to the terrestrial chamber.
- 7
Add twigs or other ornamental objects to the terrestrial chamber for visual interest. Place the funnel-like biosphere cap over the top of the terrestrial chamber and place the finished biosphere in a sunny location.
Biosphere Setup
Tips and warnings
- Hang your bottle in a window for easy viewing and access to sunlight.
- Add a few limestone rocks, such as calcium rocks from an aquarium supply store, to the water to help adjust the pH.
- Add a small amount (e.g., 1 tbsp) of pond scum to the water to kick-start algae growth.
- Don't add too many snails to your ecosphere or they will eat all of the algae. Start with one snail and add more later if needed.
