At first glance, Fearow looks like your average Normal / Flying Pokemon. With decent base 100 Speed and base 90 Attack, many might see Swellow as a faster and stronger version of Fearow. However, Fearow is the only Flying-type Pokemon that has access to Drill Run; this allows Fearow to heavily dent bulky Rock- and Steel-types, such as Regirock, Golem, and Probopass. Fearow is also gifted with Sniper, which can be extremely deadly when paired with Drill Run. Combine these merits with a Choice Band, and Fearow becomes somewhat powerful. The downside to Fearow is that it is unable to learn Brave Bird, making it inferior to Swellow and Braviary in this respect. Fearow also has a weakness to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock and poor defenses, making it quite the glass cannon. However, when played to its strengths, true to its name, Fearow can really strike fear into its opponents' hearts.
A Choice Band set is always a viable option for any Pokemon with decent Speed and Attack, and Fearow is no exception. A Life Orb can be used if you dislike being locked into one move, but the power difference is substantial and the residual damage will quickly build up. Drill Peck is the obligatory STAB move for Fearow. Return is the secondary STAB move of choice, and is one of Fearow's strongest options. Drill Run is the main reason to run Fearow over the other powerful Flying-types in the tier, as it allows Fearow to hit Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon for super effective damage, breaking down Pokemon such as Relicanth, Golem, and Probopass. U-turn enables Fearow to scout and is mostly filler because Fearow has a shallow movepool.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Fearow has few other options; a Choice Scarf set could be used to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame. Fearow can use Baton Pass, but it is greatly outclassed by Ninjask, and Baton Pass is illegal with Sniper. Heat Wave, Tri Attack, and Hidden Power can be used on a special set, but Fearow has a pitiful Special Attack stat, therefore this is not recommended. A Scope Lens can be used to land more critical hits, but this is very luck-based and unadvised. Fearow can attempt a defensive set with FeatherDance and Roost, but due to Fearow's low defenses as well as its poor defensive typing, this is not recommended.
Checks and Counters
Even though it has the word fear in its name, Fearow is often the one shaking in fear of its opponents. Even with a Choice Band, Fearow lacks the power to beat bulky Pokemon such as Mandibuzz and Rotom-A. Mandibuzz can easily tanks its attacks and hurt it with Foul Play, while Rotom-A resists most of Fearow's moves, barring Return, and can KO with Volt Switch. Faster revenge killers such as Kadabra and Electabuzz can easily outspeed and KO with their respective STAB moves. Tauros has Intimidate to buffer the hit as it switches in, and can easily outspeed and OHKO Fearow. Miltank, Alomomola, Metang, and Regirock can tank all of Fearow's moves and stall it out. Lunatone and Solrock make great counters to Fearow, because not only do they have good bulk, their Rock typing and Levitate ability also grant them resistances to Fearow. Metang, Regirock, Solrock, and Lunatone can even set up Stealth Rock to weaken Fearow every time it comes in. Due to its reliance on low Base Power moves and its general frailty, anything that can take a hit and retaliate can be considered a check.

But Lida, the Steiner books are still being published, now, in shiny new paperback!
I'm in Montessori training right now, so I wanted to address this. Maria Montessori personally was Catholic ...
It did not inform all the other decisions being made in the classroom...
They do not teach any religion as part of the curriculum, subtly or otherwise.
There are a couple of stories that mention God, but in our training we were given both this version and another version which omits any reference to God or a creator of any kind.
OWF: This is, I think, the greatest misconception about Waldorf. It is decidedly teacher-led. It may be teacher-led in an innovative and creative way, but children are always doing what the teacher asks, in the order they ask it. The only time during the school day (please note that I am talking about the grade school, not pre-K or) that children choose what to do is recess. the nice thing is that there is plenty of recess time. But I think that this is one of the ways in which Waldorf tells parents that it is "alternative" education and lets them fill in the blanks. Most of us assume that alternative means things like emergent curriculum and choice of activity. This was my very purpose for starting this thread. I don't think that being teacher-led is *necessarily* bad, but it certainly isn't what a lot of people are looking for.
OWF: It is still important, though, to go visit your prospective school and give it a serious look. It could be that the extraordinary positives would outweigh the negatives for you. So many people are happy in Waldorf! Just ask lots of questions.
There's a tendency for the picture of Waldorf education to be painted all one color. We lean towards extremes these days.
Waldorf is child-centered, but it's not, especially in the younger years, particularly "child led". The nuance doesn't lend itself well to pin-up posters and catchphrases.
Take some of these questions about creativity and copying. In the earliest years there is copying; not everything is copied, but there is copying. Waldorf students create their own Main Lesson books, which are their text books literally, and the content they're to put in them follows a given form, especially in the beginning. So a typical 2nd grader does not compose much for their books, they record in them what the teacher has composed for them. There are reasons they do this, one of them being this regurgitation helps them absorb the lesson by involving them interactively. But a typical 6th grader composes most of the content, according to an outline and content requirements. Another example, painting "class" after kindergarten will have specific techniques taught, it's not a "do your own thing" any more than it would be in any other typical art class. It's like music that way. But that's not all there is, there are also ample artistic assignments where that's exactly what it is, more of a "do what you want" exercise. (Actually very few painting exercises ever look much at all like a lazured wall.)
I think that's why things sound so confusing. Nothing in Waldorf fits that neatly really in "all this and none of that", and maybe people tend each to just focus their lens a little differently.
I just feel the need to chime in and say that in many (most) other parts of the world, the schools are called Rudolf Steiner schools...so no misconceptions about whose philosophy the whole thing is based upon. Anthroposophy is an everyday word in these parts (Switzerland)...everyone knows what it is...even if they don't know all the details or whether they find it valid or not. There are doctors EVERYWHERE with anthroposophic medical qualifications (I was even assigned one through my first HMO! before I even knew what it was) and there are even restaurants that serve the "grain of the day" based on Steiner's philosophy. It's just one more set of ideas...nothing so peculiar about any of it.
Also, even public schools here in Switzerland do A LOT of copying and repetition of the teachers. This is in large part a European phenomenon (or at least a Germanic one). Letting children choose each and every thing that they do and learn is very modern and largely very American...individualism is not the order of the day everywhere in the world! So some of these things that are listed as "Waldorf" are actually common here across the board. Just an FYI should such things interest anyone.
And the last thing I want to add is that Steiner lived and spoke and wrote a very long time ago! Some of these racist references were unfortunate but true signs of the time in which he lived...in the US included!!!! It does not mean that today's Waldorf teachers, schools or even anthroposophists believe in this stuff or let it speak to their work now, in a modern, multi-cultural world. He is not around to write and think today, but I think you will find that most currently published Waldorf-related books are much more in keeping with today's values.
I am one of those people who believe wholeheartedly that it is primarily the job of the parents to investigate all aspects of a school (public or private), what motivates the teachers and administrators, and what drives their educational philosophies....the information is always out there! There are so many books, websites...there are so many fans and so many critics...no shortage of perspectives to be found. And not all schools are created equal...again whether Waldorf, public, whatever.
If you aren't ok with pink walls and rounded edges and children who copy their teachers...then Waldorf is not for you. And neither is the Swiss or German public school system either! hehe
Oh please! That's like saying if an agnostic were her teacher, she would be viewed as a person that needs to not make decisions about religion.
Really? So is it a recognized religion? Is it like Christianity, where all the outdated junk from the Old Testament is kind of brushed off as irrelevant and just a sign of the times? (Although, there are gillions of Christians who still consider a lot of the Old Testament to be just as important as the New Testament, even when it directly contradicts Jesus's teachings... )
Good to know! I so wish Waldorf schools would do the same. I know that Steiner's spiritual philosophies influenced everything in the schools- from the decor to the lesson plans- but I just wish a school would take all that and use it without including all the "mumbojumbo"reasons.
|This is totally different from a Christian's point of view, which is that their belief is the Ultimate Truth, and anyone who does not believe is incorrect, and needs saving.
That is pretty cut and dry, and it colors the the lens through which they view people.
Who is to know if anthroposophists are around who believe and use it in the education?
As to researching and findng out before hand, I had very limited access to the internet then (4 or so yrs ago). We live in a rural area.
edited to add:
Although I taught for one academic year at a Steiner high school here (one subject, no spiritual stuff involved!), my ds is not attending a Steiner school (or any school at the moment). I also definitely saw some problematic issues at the school, mostly organizational though. I am also not 100% sold on the entire curriculum...I am one who would like to see it updated/modernized a bit. We use a lot of Waldorf elements in our "homeschooling"...I am indeed a Waldorf "cherry picker". Despite my personal views on it, I still know several families who are totally thriving within traditional Waldorf and I believe wholeheartedly that it can be an enriching educational experience. I also know many, many families (both here and in the US) who have experienced very real trauma at their public schools. And even a couple of good friends who love to share about their Catholic school nightmares. Perhaps different problems and traumas, but big problems nonetheless. Just wanted to let everyone know where I'm coming from! :-)

DescriptionWith over 600,000 acres, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is the largest state park in the contiguous United States. 500 miles of dirt roads, 12 wilderness areas and miles of hiking trails provide visitors with an unparalleled opportunity to experience the wonders of the Colorado Desert. The park is named after Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and the Spanish name borrego, or bighorn sheep. The park features washes, wildflowers, palm groves, cacti and sweeping vistas. Visitors may also have the chance to see roadrunner, golden eagles, kit foxes, mule deer and bighorn sheep as well as iguanas, chuckwallas and the red diamond rattlesnake.
Numerous roads will take you into this vast park. Consult a map before making travel plans to be sure you enter the desired part of the park. Most visitors approach from the east via Highways S22, S2, or 78. Visitors from San Diego via Highways 79 and 78 have the added pleasure of driving through the mountainous Cuyamaca Rancho State Park--quite a different experience from Anza-Borrego. The highways from the east climb 2,400 feet or so and then descend about 2,000 feet to the valley. Where the highway breaks out of the high-country vegetation, it reveals the great bowl of the Anza-Borrego desert.
The valley spreads below, and there are mountains all around. The highest are to the north--the Santa Rosa Mountains. The mountains are a wilderness, with no paved roads in or out or through. They have the only all-year-flowing watercourse in the park. They are the home of the peninsular bighorn sheep, often called desert bighorn. Few park visitors ever see them; the sheep are justly wary. A patient few observers each year see and count them, to learn how this endangered species coping with human encroachment.
Season For Peak Fees: 10/01 to 04/30
Coyote Canyon will be CLOSED for the annual summer closure from June 1 through September 30 to allow the bighorn sheep to drink without interruption during the hot summer months. No vehicle or foot traffic is allowed beyond the closure.
Check the State Parks website for additional information on the weather, suggested day hikes, or to see the park brochure, campground map, park photos, video, and more. Information available will vary from park to park.Click here

The thinking, Superintendent Joan Frazier explained to the board, is that the coach will help teachers improve their own efforts to get students to learn off a printed page.
She said the reading coach — who will be split between the high school and middle school — "is designed to teach teachers how to teach reading, thereby over time being able to be better teachers and continuously reinforce reading skills whether you're teaching science or math or what have you."
Board member William Hutchings questioned whether the addition of one position was enough to make the kind of improvement the city needs.
"Whatever it takes — local money — we need to get the reading scores up," he said.
Frazier said the trend has been for slight increases in reading scores.
"While that is good news, we're at the point where we're looking for a big wallop," she said. To do that, she is aiming for a more systemic change.
Frazier told board members she wasn't interested in hiring any more reading teachers.
"What happens when you assign reading or only reading to one or two specific individuals," she said, "is philosophically it becomes the responsibility of the reading teacher to teach reading."
Under the reading coach model, the responsibility is spread from just the reading teachers to the entire faculty.
The elementary schools have had reading coaches for almost 10 years, and the elementary grades consistently meet annual yearly progress expectation in reading, Frazier said. She feels that the reading coach model is at least part of the formula for success in lower grades.
Board member Arthur Cottingham felt so strongly that the district should hire separate reading coaches for the two upper schools that he voted no on the measure. Persuaded by his colleague, Hutchings tried to recall his 'yes' vote and vote 'no' but was not allowed by Board President Mary Harrington to cast another vote after he recalled his initial vote. She ruled the measure passed with three 'yes' votes, one 'no' and one abstention.
"I can certainly understand a desire to have one full-time at each school, but this is where I started," Frazier said. "One is what I can easily pay for at this point."
The board also approved the position of middle school alternative school teacher. That position allows a teacher for the alternative school at Anniston Middle School; the position had been cut when enrollment and state aid dropped in recent years. Since then, the middle school alternative students have been served by the high school's alternative school.
In other business, the board:
• Approved district-wide technology assessment to be sponsored by the Public Education Foundation of Anniston to prepare for future funding and support.
• Approved a contract with the Agency for Substance Abuse Prevention for a life skills program that will be taking place in one of the district's summer programs.
• Approved a contract with Gadsden State Community College for the Early College Enrollment Program for the coming school year.
• Approved student field trips to the National Future Business Leaders of America Conference in San Antonio, Texas, and band camp at Alabama State University.

Dan Rodricks
6:12 PM EDT, April 17, 2013
Today is "Skeptical Reader Day" at the Dan Rodricks column. Today, at no extra charge, I will answer a letter from an anonymous reader who questioned a figure that appeared in this space last week, to wit: "The Department of Natural Resources says Maryland loses 25,000 acres of agricultural and forest land to development each year."
"Really?" Anonymous asked. "Can that possibly be true? If a typical house is on .25 acres ..."
Take cover, friends! Incoming amazing math!
" ... that translates to 100,000 homes per year, or 8,333 homes per month, or in a 30-day month including weekends, 277 homes per day."
Told ya.
"Even if you assume one acre per home," Anonymous went on, "the figures are 25,000 homes per year, or 2,083 per month, 69 per day. Granted, some of the loss is to commercial and industrial development, but still ... ?"
Dear Anonymous:
First, thanks for the question. I don't know why you didn't attach your name to the letter. But I'm glad you took time to ask your question. It deserves an answer.
The figure I quoted came from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources' website, and specifically the home page of the Rural Legacy Program. That program was established in 1997 to protect large tracts of land in rural areas from the sprawl of development, with, of course, the cooperation of landowners, including farmers. The idea is to save forests, wetlands and greenways for wildlife habitat and for a buffer against polluted runoff that harms the Chesapeake and its tributaries.
I did no other checking of the figure; I assumed that the DNR stands by its figure, and it does. Many reporters and columnists do this on a regular basis. Certain figures become "operative" at a some point, used so frequently they are assumed to be correct.
But I did some further checking.
In 2010, the Maryland Department of Planning, tracking development activity across the state, said we can expect to lose approximately 560,000 acres to development by 2030, "the equivalent of the land area of Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties combined."
Do the math, and that's an even higher projection than DNR's — about 28,000 acres per year.
And we're not just talking about houses on one-acre lots. We're talking about shopping centers, office parks, light industrial developments, roads.
Because we don't have enough places to shop in this state, a company that already runs two outlet centers in Maryland announced just this week plans for a third — on a 100-acre parcel in the once-quiet community of Clarksburg in Montgomery County.
In case you haven't noticed, we're up to our keister in strip malls, shopping centers, congested highways and sprawling developments of homes on large lots and private wells and septic systems.
So, while I understand being skeptical about numbers — particularly estimates and projections — anyone who drives around this state should not be surprised to hear that surveys show a net loss of thousands of acres of land to development each year. The growth continues. We measure progress in this state, in this country, by new housing starts — not in old homes renovated, or abandoned city neighborhoods reclaimed.
"How many acres have been preserved so far?" Anonymous wanted to know.
According to the DNR, the Rural Legacy Program has preserved 76,809 acres of farmland, forest and habitat.
The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program, established in 1977, has permanently protected more than 280,000 acres of farmland so far, according to the Department of Agriculture.
Additionally, Program Open Space was established in the late 1960s to acquire land for public use — parks, forests, wildlife habitat, natural and scenic areas — and the DNR says we now have more than 6,000 parks and conservation areas, accounting for another 362,00 acres.
Add conservation easements held by the Maryland Environmental Trust, and we're looking at more than 700,000 acres.
"How much preserved land is enough?" Anonymous asked. "With programs such as the Agricultural Land Preservation, Rural Legacy and Open Space, is there no end in sight?"
Let me try and answer that with this:
In 2002, the General Assembly passed a joint resolution calling for dramatically increasing the amount of agricultural land in preservation. The goal is 1.03 million acres by 2022. John Coleman, spokesman for the Maryland Department of Planning, says the state is about halfway to that goal.
So, Anonymous, I guess you can say the end is in sight, as long as the legislature keeps putting up the money needed to meet the goals it established.
The Department of Planning says that, by 2030, Maryland will have nearly 1 million more people than it had in 2010. If we're going to accommodate all those people while we continue to foster a growth economy, with any hope of maintaining a decent quality of life, we're going to need smart stewardship and the bucks to preserve our green spaces to offset the anticipated losses up ahead.
Hope this helps.

Tiling on sheetrock around a shower is a disaster waiting to happen. Especially if it doesn't have a vapor barrier behind it. Also, your tub deck may not have a tiling flange, and water on the rim will just get back into the walls. You really want something that won't degrade from the water spray such as a cbu instead of sheetrock. If the tub does have a tiling flange, you could make it work. The tub company (and there are generic ones) may have an add-on tiling flange, if you don't.
So, it could be a real mess, depending on what you're starting with. You have a couple choices on the shower...add a diverter valve or change the tub spout to one with a diverter in it.

I worked at Chart Industries as an intern for less than a year
Pros – People are very nice and easy to work with
communications between employees are effective
flexible hours
Cons – 1 I did two semesters of Coop at Chart Industries working in two different department, none of them care about interns. Supervisors are so busy that they barely have time to meet with the intern. They have interns do repetitive boring jobs that full time employees are not willing to do. I did not learn much besides some basic ProE knowledge.
2 The work is intense but the pay is really the minimum compared to the rates for interns in the industry.
Advice to Senior Management – Care more about interns and invest more time in them as they are the potential future assets of the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

ATLANTA (CNN) – Mother Nature put on quite a show Tuesday in the skies over Atlanta.
A row of fast moving clouds hovered over the buildings in Atlanta's skyline during the late afternoon.
They are nicknamed "river of the sky" because of their flowing motion.
The scientific name is Undulates asperatus.
The clouds form when two fronts meet, but scientists can't agree if they are caused by a cold-warm front or a dry-moist front.

Buy a Bundle of em'!!! These Brushes are just one of those things that you cannot have too many of on hand. I use these on all sorts of projects.

A very handy brush that can be cleaned and used over and over again.
What can I say? It's a disposable brush. I know that recycling is the right thing to do, but sometimes it's nice to have disposable things. Especially brushes (I hated cleaning paint brushes as a kid, and I still hate it). I've used these for control cavity shielding paint, applying wood filler, cleaning in small spaces, and flattened the end of one as a makeshift flat head screwdriver (ok, that one's a lie). Anyway, you get TWELVE of these in a package. Sweet!
These brushes get the job done. Nothing fancy, but seem to be higher quality than what I can find locally. Used when gluing my reverse rounded kerfing. Easy to trim off bristles if you'd like to make a more narrow brush for finer work.
Very good quality. Used this stuff with glue and conductive paint.
I bought these to paint the inside of my control cavities with conductive paint.Worked very well and had zero issues.
Inexpensive brushes that worked well for applying shielding paint. Bristles bend easily near the edge and I found it easiest to snip them off vs trying to get them to change direction. Brushes can be cleaned and reused so a 12 pack will last a long while.
Very good quality.
Nice brush, but it's bigger than it looked in the pic.
I'd like these better if they were smaller, or available in different sizes...
they do what they say.
It seems kind of odd to buy these brushes from a Luthier supply house when they are available at almost any hardware store. However the brushes I had perviously purchased from other sources aren't nearly as well made as these. No problems with the entire hank of hair falling out.

Medina Journal-Register
Medina Journal-Register — SANBORN - Making it three sectional titles in the last four years, top seeded Wilson rolled to a 58-34 victory over No. 2 Buffalo Arts in the Section VI Class B-2 championship game Saturday night at Niagara County Community College.
Dana Smith scored 16, Jamie Curry 15, Emily Lasher 10 and Kate Placek 8 to lead the balanced attack for Wilson which next faces B-1 champion Olean for th Section VI Class B berth in the state playoffs at 5 p.m. Tuesday at NCCC. Olean captured the B-1 title with a 46-30 win over East Aurora.
Smith also had 10 rebounds and 5 steals, Curry 7 rebounds, 6 steals and 7 assists, Placek 8 rebounds and 4 steals and Lasher 7 rebounds and 4 steals.
Andrea Zeigler shared game high honors with 16 for Arts.
Unleashing a balanced attack from the outset, Wilson jumped out to a 15-8 first period lead as Curry had two lay-ups off steals and a jumper, Placek back-to-back lay-ups, Smith the first of her four threes and Lasher a lay-up off a steal.
Keeping the momentum, Wilson more than doubled its lead to 18, 31-13, at the half after a 16-5 second period surge which featured baskets by five different players including a lay-up off a steal and a jumper by Curry and a rebound bucket and a jumper by Smith.
"We had a real good defensive effort in the first half. They really worked hard at it and created a lot of our offense off that defensive effort," Wilson coach Brian Baker said. "We really smothered them defensively and the last couple of games that's the way its been a lot of our offense has been because of our defense. We really played hard."
The Wilson advantage soared to 26, 45-19, at the three-quarter mark as Smith hit two threes and Curry chipped in with another lay-up off a steal in the third period.
Wilson, which also captured the B-2 title in 2010 and 2011, takes a 20-1 record int the state qualifier.
"It's nice to get it back after missing out last year," said Baker whose Wilson squad lost in the 2012 B-2 title contest to Southwestern 40-27.

The brewing of the first batch of Pilsner Urquell will be celebrated all around the Czech Republic
9 October 2013
Plzeň, October 8, 2013 – The celebrations of the birth of the legendary Pilsner Urquell lager began on October 5th during the Pilsner Fest, the same day that the first batch was brewed 171 years ago. The celebrations will continue in selected restaurants where the atmosphere of the year 1842 will be enhanced by Pilsen malt-masters and a group of actors in period costumes. The celebrations will occur over 5 weeks from October 11th to November 11th and the show will visit a total of 10 towns and cities. To mark the occasion, more than 300 restaurants will have unfiltered version of the lager on tap.
The travelling show of Pilsner Urquell around Czech towns and cities is prepared to mark the brewing of the first batch of Pilsner Urquell, the celebration of which started during Pilsner Fest on October 5th. As a part of the celebrations, a group of actors and musicians will visit selected towns with the legendary lager in a historic cart, to bring back the atmosphere of 1842. Pilsen malt-masters will travel across the Czech Republic from October 11th to November 11th with lovely barmaids and musicians.
The group of actors in period costumes will visit two to three pubs per day and in every single one of them they will tap an oak barrel with unfiltered Pilsner Urquell lager. They will toast and celebrate the first batch. In more than 300 other pubs, they will have an exclusive variety of unfiltered Pilsner Urquell lager available. Thanks to the mobile app Pilsner Klub (club), it will be possible to find out at which restaurants the unfiltered variety of Pilsner Urquell lager will be available during the celebrations.
The celebrations of the anniversary of the brewing of the first batch of Pilsner Urquell lager and the historic traditions of beer-making craft will not be contained in Pilsen but will take place all around the country. They will celebrate it in Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Cheb, Karlovy Vary, Liberec, Česke Budějovice, Brno, Olomouc, and Ostrava from October 11th to November 11th.
In addition to these celebrations a unique exhibition of drinking glassware is available in the Pilsner Urquell Gallery in Prague, which can be found on U Lužického Semináře Street. There you can see treasures from the large collections of the Beer-making Museum in Pilsen such as nontraditional cups made for the Austrian Emperor, the Pope, and the Grand Duke of Russia, cups from the end of the Monarchy (early 1900), elegant champagne glasses, hand painted double-steins of the First Republic (1918-1939), and nostalgic half-litters of the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition will last for the duration of the celebrations until November 11th, and for a discounted entrance price of 50,- CZK (about 1.5 USD), visitors may also taste unfiltered Pilsner Urquell lager.

My child's favorite chocolate chip cookie!, 1.20.2014
Reviewer: MarzieK (Coral Gables, FL)
These are really delicious. My child was sad to learn he, too, had celiac disease and would have to forego a lot of treats with friends. These are so delicious that his non-GF friends eagerly share them.
Love, 10.16.2013
Reviewer: Michele Stephens (Marlton, NJ)
I love these. One of the first gluten free cookies I've tasted that didn't have a bad after taste and is actual as good as or better than cookies made from wheat flour. Please bring out more flavors and a nut version of this one.
One Terrific Cookie!, 5.15.2013
Reviewer: Suellen Gallamore (Rehoboth Beach, DE)
It's so nice to have some wonderful, taste good options for those of us who must eat gluten free. This cookie fills the bill EXCEPT that I wish it were available with walnuts! I'm giving it only 4 stars for that reason. With walnuts, it would rate 5 stars.
Fantastic Cookies, 12.16.2012
Reviewer: Suzanne Grant (Ridgewod, NY)
These are absolutely fantastic in every way. You cannot tell that they are gluten free - none of that "off" texture or flavor. My 25 yr old nephew ate 2 and told me he liked this recipe better than the one I used to make (America's Test Kitchen Best Chocolate Chip Cookies). He had no idea they were gluten free. I wish Tate's would hold a gluten-free baking class or publish a gluten-free baking book.
Reviewer: Dana Schillawski (Germantown, TN)
I've been eating "gluten free" for several years, and this cookie is BY FAR the BEST gluten free COOKIE I have ever had!! It is actually the BEST Chocolate Chip COOKIE I have ever had!!! You would NEVER know it was gluten free. You did a fantastic job on this cookie!! Thanks :)

The Nippur Expedition
1991-92 Annual Report
McGuire Gibson
For the Nippur Expedition, this was a year devoted to analysis and publication of findings. Since 1972, our program has been a multi-faceted one, seeking the answer to a number of archaeological, historical, and environmental questions not only for the site of Nippur but also for a much broader area. Barred from field work by the current embargo on Iraq, the staff spent the year preparing or revising manuscripts and drawings and doing page-layout for two volumes that are in preparation. More importantly, we brought another volume through the editorial process and most of the way to publication.
Richard Zettler's monograph on the Kassite buildings in Area WC-1, which will appear in 1993 as Nippur III, was submitted last year, was sent out for scholarly review, and then was returned to Zettler for minor revisions. With Zettler's agreement, as editor of the series I made some decisions that would improve the book but would delay its appearance by a few months. For instance, we included photographs of all the cuneiform tablets to supplement the descriptive catalogue. Such photographs of tablets are relatively rare in archaeological reports, but these are good enough to convey information readily.
This book, based on excavation of Area WC-1, carried out by Zettler and Elizabeth Stone, records an unusually large private house, perhaps owned by merchants, which was built some time in the thirteenth century b.c. and was then altered and rebuilt and finally was abandoned. Above the Kassite levels was a very badly eroded building dated to the seventh century b.c. when the Assyrians ruled Babylonia. Although the original Kassite house was unusually well preserved, with walls standing more than a meter and a half high, the amount of material found in it was disappointing. The occupants of the house had been relatively neat, and before each renovation there had been a general cleaning out of the building. However, there were enough pottery and other artifacts to help solidify our notion of the Kassite assemblage. The chapter on the pottery contributed to this volume by James A. Armstrong is, as of now, the definitive statement on the later part of the Kassite period, incorporating, as it does, important earlier work by Judith Franke in Area WB. Armstrong's discussion is significant not only for Nippur but also for Babylonia in general.
We have made considerable progress in finishing our report on Area WG, the operation at the top of the West Mound that was designed to investigate the transition between the Sasanian and the Islamic periods. In fact, in that operation we reached Parthian levels (ca. a.d. 100), so that we have a very good sequence from this period through the early part of the Abbasid period (ca. a.d. 800). The transition from Sasanian to Islamic has not been detailed in excavations in Iraq, and thus we have no demonstrable material evidence of this most important civilizational transition. We have hypothesized that artifacts did not immediately reflect the political, economic, and religious changes that Mesopotamia underwent at important junctures in its history, even one as profound as the Islamic conquest. We assumed that there must have been a delay in the adoption of symbols of the new regime and religion. We expected that pottery would change more slowly than other items that are more linked with politics, for instance, the coinage or other items directly linked with the governmental administration. Thus far, analysis of the artifacts proves that there were different rates of change in these different classes of artifacts. An early assumption, that we might see a shift in the kinds of animal bones as we entered the Islamic levels (consumption of pigs is forbidden for Muslims), apparently does not hold, according to preliminary study of the material. Perhaps we were digging in a Christian area of the town.
James A. Armstrong and I are writing the main text of the WF operation, while John and Peggy Sanders work on the plans and illustrations of objects. We have received several analyses of the finds: The pottery was analyzed by Edward J. Keall and C. Ciuk of the Royal Ontario Museum, Erica Hunter analyzed the Aramaic incantation bowls found buried upside down under floors of a house in the Early Islamic level, and David Reese analyzed the animal bones and shells. We will receive shortly the technical reports on glazed pottery from Pamela Vandiver of the Smithsonian Conservation Analytical Laboratory. We hope to have this manuscript ready for the editors in 1993.
On another front, James A. Armstrong has been revising and expanding his doctoral dissertation, which was based on his work in Areas WC-2 and TC. This important piece of research has resulted in the first clear idea of the sequence from the Kassite through the Achaemenid period at Nippur. And once again, as with his work on the Kassite pottery, his analysis of this material is critical for giving a sound underpinning to southern Mesopotamian archaeology from the twelfth century through the sixth century b.c. It was in excavating Trench TC that we became aware of a major environmental crisis at Nippur that occurred in the latter half of the second millennium, which led to an abandonment of all or most of the city and was comparable to an earlier disaster that we had demonstrated for the Old Babylonian period (eighteenth century b.c.). In TC, we exposed evidence of dunes and abandonment in the archaeological strata, marking both these abandonments below and above of the Kassite levels. Tying this archaeological evidence with the environmental findings that we have been making on and around the site since 1972, we have been able to build up a picture of the ancient Mesopotamian environment as a fragile one, greatly affected by human action, resulting in sometimes catastrophic events for humans.
The archaeological information derived from the work in Area TC can be correlated somewhat with data derived from a group of tablets found in Area WB in 1973. Steven Cole, a former Chicago student and a member of the Nippur Expedition, completed a doctoral dissertation based on that set of tablets. Now, when his teaching duties at Harvard allow him the time, he is preparing a publication that uses these documents to lay out an economic and social history of the early first millennium, when Aramaeans and Chaldeans made up a major component of the Babylonian population and Arabs were just beginning to settle among them. These texts from Nippur, in fact, give the earliest mention of Arabs in Babylonia, about 750 b.c. Cole's book will be published eventually by the Oriental Institute. It will be an appropriate companion volume to Armstrong's important study, which will be completed in 1993 and will appear as Nippur IV.
As she has for several years, Augusta McMahon has worked as my assistant for the past year, while also completing a part of her own Ph.D. dissertation. McMahon's dissertation, based on excavation she supervised at Area WF in the eighteenth and nineteenth seasons (1989-90), is devoted to a study of the Akkadian period (ca. 2350-2200 b.c.), when the world's first truly effective empire was created. Despite the fact that very important social, political, economic, religious, linguistic, artistic, and other changes accompanied the rise of the Akkadian empire, this period is still only vaguely known. In particular, McMahon is interested in the transition from the Early Dynastic to the Akkadian because earlier excavations that encountered material of this time were misinterpreted and confusion has resulted. McMahon has been awarded a Whiting Fellowship, a rare honor, to complete her dissertation in the 1992-93 academic year. Her dissertation will also be published, eventually, in the Nippur series.
In a related research activity, the Nippur Expedition has turned to the skies for data on the ancient landscape around the site. One of the results of the Gulf War has been a tremendous increase in satellite imagery for southern Iraq. The satellite technology that underlay the United States' war effort can be employed for peaceful purposes. Tapes from satellites can be purchased not only from the United States' government but also from European and even Russian sources. Before the war, such images for the area around Nippur were not available, unless one paid an extra amount to have the satellite focus on the area. Nippur was of strategic interest, apparently. In the wake of the Gulf War, the available coverage is tremendous. Every inch of the country has been recorded thousands of times. Presumably, the images that are available commercially are nowhere as precise as some of those used by the military, but they are more than adequate to use for the mapping of ancient sites, ancient canal systems, and abandoned fields, and they can be enhanced through computer technology to show buried features, such as walls, water courses, and ancient river levees. With the environmental specialist, Tony Wilkinson, now on the Oriental Institute's staff, and with John Sanders in his new role as computer specialist, we are able to make great strides in the use of such technology to carry out analyses of ancient landscape even while sitting in Chicago. In this aspect of our program, we are continuing a fruitful collaboration that we have had for years with the Belgian Expedition to Iraq.
In January 1992, James Armstrong and I went to Ghent for a meeting with our Belgian colleagues to consult on the production of a general corpus of second millennium pottery that we are creating jointly. James is doing most of the work on the Nippur side of this effort. We have arranged for him to stay in Ghent for a month during the summer of 1992 and to work on the manuscript. The corpus should appear in 1993.
In summary, this past year has been very productive for the Nippur Expedition, even though we could not go digging. We miss the field work and wonder, occasionally, whether our Iraqi friends and colleagues are well.
Amazingly, although the destruction in Iraq was tremendous, and although the bombardment of the army at the front was unprecedented, military casualties were relatively light. The civilian casualties were enormous and, because of disease and deprivation, have now reached something between 150,000 and 200,000 deaths. The lack of electricity during the war led to the spoilage of medicines, of blood plasma, and of insulin, resulting in the death of thousands of people on maintenance drugs. Medicines, such as antibiotics, soon ran out. The loss of electricity also resulted in the halting of dialysis machines, iron lungs, and even lights in operating theaters of Iraq's very modern hospitals. Generators eventually ran out of fuel because the refineries had also been destroyed. More importantly, without electricity, the water supply could not be maintained, sewage treatment came to a halt, and tons of raw sewage were dumped into the Tigris, spreading infection downstream.
In light of this human tragedy, it seems inappropriate to write about the loss of material things, but the ancient culture of Iraq is precious in itself, and when destroyed it cannot be renewed. I had no thought that Nippur would be damaged during the war, since it is far from anything militarily important. The site and the expedition house came through the war unscathed. There was no damage from the war, and even the post-war looting of archaeological expedition houses that occurred at a number of other sites did not happen at Nippur. Our guard heard that people were coming to rob the house in March 1991. He sent his son to get brothers and cousins who surrounded the house with Kalishnikov machine guns. When the mob came, the guard said that anything that happened would start a tribal feud, which stopped the event in its tracks.
For anyone who wishes to know about damage to the archaeological sites in Iraq, I can state that there was some, but that we will not know how much until a group of professional archaeologists is allowed to form a fact-finding commission and visit all parts of the country. We know that there are 400 new holes in the ziggurat of Ur, caused by one strafing run by a jet. There are also four large bomb craters in the sacred area near the ziggurat. There is documented damage to one other site near Ur, where a unit of troops from the United States dug in with bulldozers and left behind a mass of rocket tubes and ration containers. The hundreds of other sites in the battle zone have not been visited, as far as I know. There was damage to historic structures in Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, and other cities, as well as to the Arch at Ctesiphon. Most of the damage seems to have been caused by the shaking of the ground from nearby bombing. One year after the war, January 1992, most of the surface evidence of structural damage (cracks, some shrapnel holes) had been completely patched in these buildings. It is not clear if there is deeper structural damage that will show up later.
At present, it looks as if the loss to important archaeological sites may have been minor. The same cannot be said of Iraq's regional museums. In nine of the provinces in the south and in the north, the local museums were entered, vandalized, and looted by people taking part in the insurrections that followed the end of the war. More than 4,000 artifacts were stolen or destroyed, and many are already appearing in the antiquities market of Europe and the United States. Included in the number of missing objects are important sculptures and cuneiform tablets from Nippur, as well as from other sites dug by the Oriental Institute. In case anyone may think that Iraq has not taken care of its artifacts and any that now come to the United States are better off, let me assure you that the Iraqi Department of Antiquities has had an exemplary record of protecting sites and artifacts since 1923, when it was founded. There has been virtually no traffic in illicit antiquities for many years. Probably no other country in the Near East has as good a record. Knowing that to be the case, reports that the Iraqis had built air bases right next to sites to deter attack or were placing missiles and planes at archaeological sites during the war were not credible to any of us who have experience in the country. We knew, for instance, that some of the military bases being mentioned by the media were already there in Ottoman Turkish times (before 1918) or were established under the British in the 1920s and 1930s. The air base at Ur, much discussed during the war, was founded by the British shortly after its entry into Iraq in the First World War. Anything can happen in war, but as far as I can find out, none of the accusations that Iraq was deliberately endangering ancient monuments was true.
Any notion that objects are better off outside Iraq because the Iraqis are negligent can be countered by the statement that the Directorate of Antiquities in Iraq is more professional than most others in the Near East. The National Museum in Baghdad is one of the great depositories of Mesopotamian antiquities, and its displays, before the war, were well done. Modern conservation laboratories and equipment were installed in the 1970s, and staff was sent to Europe for training. The effort made to educate the populace by building museums in all provinces and stocking them with first-class antiquities has led, unfortunately, to the loss of thousands of items in the insurrection. In a letter, the Director of the National Museum, who received his Ph.D. under my supervision here in 1988, says that he is working to assess the losses from the thefts, as well as damage done by the shaking of the ground to the thousands of objects in the storerooms of the main museum in Baghdad.
Some media figures have implied that the loss of Iraq's artifacts is just recompense for the treatment that Kuwait's museum received. But the Directorate General's handling of the artifacts from the Kuwait Museum was in fact exemplary, in keeping with international agreements. In the fall of 1990, the Director of Antiquities, in conformance with the Hague Agreement, informed the United Nations that he was going to remove the objects and records from the Kuwait Museum to safeguard them from damage in the impending war. The staff of the Iraq Museum went to Kuwait, found the museum intact and guarded, worked with some employees of the Kuwait Museum to pack and load the antiquities, and took them by truck to Baghdad. The crates of antiquities and records were deposited in the storerooms of the Iraq Museum and remained there, unopened, throughout the war. Shortly after the war ended, the Iraqi authorities, again following the international agreements, informed the United Nations that it was ready to return the objects to the Kuwait Museum. The Kuwait Museum sent two Europeans to represent them and these persons worked with the personnel of the Iraq Museum, under supervision of the United Nations, for several weeks to open the crates, examine the objects and records, catalogue them, and hand them over. Kuwait's representatives had come to Baghdad with a list of 2,500 items. The Iraqis turned over more than 25,000 items, completing the entire procedure by October 1991.
I have received letters from the Director of Antiquities and it is clear that we are welcome to come back to resume our work at any time. I look forward to the lifting of the embargo.

1. Do I have to seal the bottom edge where Duroc meets floor with mesh tape?
2. Wht do I use for sealing joints? Same thinset used to set tile?
3. I have vapour barrier on walls and PVC pan liner... Can / should I use red guard?
It seems that red guard on the floor will prevent water that gets through the grout/tile to get through dry pack to liner? Tht correct? If red guard is used will it not hold water at grout level, which I think would not be good?
4. Red guard on walls seems more practical but I read somewhere it will trap mositure in if used on walls with vapor barrier.
5. I made my curb a little too wide and in stages ( long story/nightmare ...wholly f is a neo angle hard for a first time!!) I had to create the front ( outside ) of the curb last, after the top and inside had set... The outside is rough and damaged on outside edge in one spot. Not sure if I need to correct or just leave small void under tile? Thoughts? If I do want to smooth it out do I use same cement as original or tile thinset or something else? Pic attached
Thks in advance

MONTROSE – Starting this month, several Montrose city-funded nonprofits are no longer on annual contracts, but are being funded on a month-to-month basis.
As the annual contracts ran out, the city adopted the temporary monthly arrangement to give a "restructuring" committee more time to decide the fate of three agencies: the Montrose Chamber, the Visitors and Convention Bureau and the Montrose Area Merchants Association, or MAMA.
The whole idea is to save money and be more efficient, said City Councilmember Erica Lewis Kennedy.
Kennedy, also a member of the restructuring committee, said the agencies most likely would be reorganized under the chamber umbrella. Another "economic driver" agency, the Montrose Economic Development Council, will probably be treated separately, she said.
The restructuring committee missed a Dec. 31 deadline to come up with a plan for the agencies. Now the committee's work has no deadline, she said, because with separate city agreements with each of the agencies, "the issues are complicated."
But the eventual shake up of the agencies has some employees worried about their jobs.
Juli Messenger, executive director of MAMA, said "nothing lasts forever," but agreed that the restructuring should not be rushed, but done right, even though she and other employees don't know whether they'll have jobs in the future.
"We're doing the job as long as it's here, but there is a feeling of uncertainty," she said. "It's really no different from any other day, but it feels a little different."
The idea for restructuring the organizations began with results of surveys conducted last year that recommended restructuring the nonprofits.
"The reason we're going month to month is trying to protect all those involved," Kennedy said. "The new organization will be a rearrangement of everything."
The city has a separate contract with MEDC, no contract with the chamber, but a month-to-month contract with the VCB to operate under chamber auspices, she said.
Kennedy said she doesn't know what that means in terms of job security for the employees of the three agencies.
"I have no idea if anyone will lose their job," she said. "It's not about looking at any position or any one person, but the whole idea is to do what's best for the entire Montrose community and the best use of tax dollars for all parties involved."

I am looking for my Great-great-grandfather who was born approximately 1810 His trial date was 24th October 1831, transported on "England"5th April 1832, arrived at "Port Arthur" 9th July 1832. Trial Place "Lancaster". Police No 1413. He was sencenced for 7 years for stealing 19 sovereigns. I would like to know Parents detail/or siblings.
My daughter was married to husband no 1 had 2 children and then divorced and married a man who had 3 children..The two boys are still her children but you have to go to her ex-husband to find them Why aren't they with her.and why does it have her 3 step children as hers
Might be stupid question but there were huge problems in my mothers family when grandma remarried and they just assumed their step fathers name and they actually did not exist Big trouble with the wills.
I'm a newbie but have been puzzling over this problem too. As I only have the basic package I don't know whether the paid ones give more choices with parentage but on the assumption they don't it's certainly an issue that needs addressing! Following the User Guide instructions are all well & good but once a couple are defined as married on the tree you can't detach just one of them as a child's natural parent!
The only way I have found to do this is to give your daughter another spouse & then attach an existing child or children but state that the 'new' parents are the natural ones (assuming you have just added her previous spouse) & the existing ones are adopting, that way the children still appear on the family tree but a new tree is also created for the previous relationship complete with any of your daughter's ancestors already entered.
Not ideal I know but hope this helps!

Driver charged with DUI after getting stuck in McDonald's drive-thru
NEWS-SUN STAFF REPORT February 19, 2013 8:48PM
Updated: March 21, 2013 6:37AM
LIBERTYVILLE — A local man was definitely not "loving it" after being charged with DUI for crashing into a wall at the drive-thru of a McDonald's restaurant.
A witness reported a possible DUI driver at the McDonald's restaurant at 1330 N. Milwaukee Ave., about 12:25 p.m., Feb. 11, according to Libertyville police.
Officers found a vehicle in the drive-thru was pinned against the exterior wall of the building, police said.
William W. Meyer III, 58, was still attempting to move the vehicle forward when officers entered the vehicle through the passenger door and turned off the car, police said.
Meyer was incoherent and was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was treated and released, police said.
He was then charged with aggravated DUI, aggravated driving while license revoked, open transportation of alcohol and operating an uninsured vehicle, police said.
Meyer has previous DUI convictions, police said.
He is being held on $50,000 bond at the Lake County Jail and is next scheduled to appear in court March 8.
