Regal Dance Clubs's nimble instructors teach Fred Astaires of all skill levels how to move gracefully in more than 15 styles of dance. During 50-minute private lessons, dancers navigate the 3,100-square-foot ballroom with elegant dancing staples including bolero, foxtrot, samba, and the hokey pokey blindfolded. Since private classes are one-on-one, participants can request in-depth training on a particular style of dance or learn as many techniques as they like in their allotted time. Newly seasoned students twirl into three levels of group classes—Guest, Social Ease, or Bronze—armed with the know-how necessary to move and shake with their group mates. Upon completing dual dance lessons, toe tappers can showcase skills on the springs of the unobstructed dance floor during Friday-night dancing parties, which feature songs from all eras and genres to please even the pickiest time-traveler-dance partner.
Ideal Wellness and Weight Loss is well aware of the seemingly impossible nature of substantial weight loss, which is why they have curated a selection of long-term regimens and suggestions to aid and motivate patients on their paths toward slimness. Treatments such as noninvasive LipoLasers, which are administered by this clinic's resident laser technicians, offer immediate results by shrinking oversize fat cells. Ideal Wellness and Weight Loss' coups de grâce against flab, however, are their supervised weight-loss programs, which use the results of a thorough patient health profile to create nutritious meal plans composed of high-protein foods that reduce bodily repositories of fat and boost energy levels to those of a toddler who just robbed a candy store.
Students should bring: Water, comfortable shoes, small towel and a great desire to have fun.
Average class length: 60 minutes
Number of Staff: 1–5 people
Class location: Indoors only
Established: 2010
Registration required: Yes
Good for beginners: Yes
Guests allowed: Yes
Parking: Parking lot
Pro Tip: Don't worry about dance steps; it's all about enjoying yourself, the music, and getting a good sweat.
During 90-minute classes in the studio, heat curls around the yogis who glisten with sweat as instructors guide them through a sequence of 26 postures. Students of all experience levels bend and stretch in the same class, with instructors offering adjustments to make the postures more or less challenging. The staff at Bikram Yoga York think everyone can benefit from the power of Bikram, which is why they welcome beginners with open arms and even provide an FAQ page just for them.
Dr. Steven W. Haywood's proficiency at transforming smiles earned him a spot on ABC2's Extreme Makeover Special, and his staff strives to recreate the calming atmosphere of a spa in their office. In cosmetic dentistry treatments, Dr. Haywood fills gaps between teeth with porcelain veneers and straightens smiles with Invisalign and orthodontia. Lasers whiten teeth in fewer than two hours or help the doctor sniff out cavities without calling in a specialized bloodhound to follow the scent of decay through your mouth. An intraoral video camera sends mouth-views to a TV screen, letting both doctor and patient share the same view of each tooth.
As the founder of Yorktown Chiropractic, Dr. Philip Jeanmenne calls upon his advanced knowledge of anatomy and his experiences as an athlete to treat sports injuries and tend to the stresses of everyday life. His enthusiasm for the mechanisms of movement extends to his assistant, Amanda, who works closely with patients to address their concerns during exams and consultations. X-ray, ultrasound, and electronic muscle-stimulation equipment lines the office walls, lending assistance to Dr. Phil as he decompresses spines and tends to vertebral discs scratched from overplaying. On his rare breaks from providing and overseeing chiropractic, massage, and nutritional services, Dr. Phil strives to better understand the body's needs through continuing education.

Green Bean germination time
Planted a couple of rows of French Filet green beans 7 days ago. Watered every day...lots of heat High 80's everyday. Nothing popping up yet. Thinking maybe the seeds were old. is it too early to tell. i always thought beans were early to germinate? Should I re-plant?
My experience with beans is that high 80's is way too hot for them to germinate. I live in florida, and the first time I planted beans was in August, I was impatient to start my garden. Slow germination. Once the weather cooled they came up. Following years I wait until the highs don't reach much past 80 and have had much much better results, germination within a couple of days.
According to my seed catalog 65-85 degrees is optimum soil temperature, days to emergence 8-16. I live on the So. Or. coast so mine take forever to germinate.
re: BeefeaterRocks
One trick that might help is to cover the soil with clear plastic sheeting for a week or two before planting and then recover until the the plants start poking through. Clear plastic is more effective than black for warming the soil (as opposed to the bits of air between soil and plastic) and speeds germination. Even with abysmally cold weather we had in Chicago in May and the first half of June this year, beans planted May 22 were coming through on May 25. The strip had been covered with plastic for a bit over a week. By cold I mean high temperatures in the 50s and 60s with very few days going over 70 accompanied by record or near record rainfalls.
re: Eldon Kreider
Unfortunately is you cover stuff down here in FL, they fry. 90 and feels like 110, beans will not germinate.
If I use seeds I start in pots and then was started move. Seeds for me are too tempermental down here. So much easier with the pre start. I too have used the paper towel trick, nice call mudster. But trying to grow beans now, NO, I can't see it happening.
re: kchurchill5
My response was to someone in the southern coastal region of Oregon, not in Florida, where daytime high temperatures are unlikely to exceed 70 degrees at bean planting time. Gardening situations there are totally different from Florida although some things can be transferred from the upper Midwest.
I planted beans one year, and 7 days is too soon to see them pop through the ground. Give them more water, and about 5-7 more days. Dig one up if you have to, and see what it's doing. I had the kind that needed stringing, so had the hubby put in a couple of poles that I could wire, then strung them. I think they were blue lakes. Not sure. But my oh my did I get nice beans. I live in an area where the summer gets pretty hot, 90s to 100s in the summer. Not everyday, but sometimes at days on end. I was gifted with lovely beans and even got a bumper crop in August! Just pick when they are the size of a pencil, or smaller. So good.
I was gifted with some the other day, my son brought a small bunch over. They were actually too big, but I sliced them diagonally and cooked them with onion, garlic, salt and pepper, a fresh tomato sliced up and and a great big handful of fresh cilantro. We loved them...
re: chef chicklet
re: kchurchill5
kc, the U of F extension service has a planting guide that lists varieties that do best in Florida. Bush Beans: Here's the best varieties for various beans:
Snap: Bush Blue Lake, Contender, Roma, Harvester, Provider, Cherokee Wax , Bush Baby, Tendercrop
Shell: Horticultural, Pinto, Red Kidney
Beans, pole: Dade, McCaslan, Kentucky Wonder 191, Blue Lake

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Since we reported on its first showing a couple of months back, we haven't seen much of Sofia Coppola's Miss Dior Cherie fragrance commercial, which also marked the filmmaker's directorial debut for the famed French house. The visual absence only really occurred to us today, though, as the 30-degree damp chill of yet another day of winter in New York began to take its toll. So if you missed it the first time, or just need a bit of a vicarious pastry-popping, sunny Parisian jaunt—with a quick stop for a couture fitting—go on and lose yourself in this director's cut. Click, watch, and repeat; you can expect much of the same weather-wise for tomorrow.

text: Nature Trail has 20 points of interest. A guide can be found at the trailhead. It appears that the trail has been moved a few times. Could be due to rotation to prevent wear, or perhaps trail in planning phases. Found every spider web there was with my face--bring a hiking stick. Great natural area. Wildlife abound, as they probably do not see many visitors. Great for birding and turtle watching. Appling landing beach nearby when you are done with the hike. Great spot at marker 15 (Alligator Lake) which is an old river bank before erosion shifted the river flow. Area could be difficult after rainfall.

Reborn Triumph's 900 Trident was about as straightforward a bike as Hinckley could produce, and also happened to be one of the best of the early machines. The three-cylinder motor was distinctive, flexible and robust, the handling, though tall, better than the average roadster and it was comfortable, attractive enough and versatile, too. No wonder the Triumph Trident lived longer ...

The Yamaha XJ600 Diversion is a Vauxhall Astra diesel amongst motorcycles… with all the worthiness (and dreariness) that implies. Designed from the outset to be soft, cheap, versatile, simple and novice-friendly, the curiously-named Yamaha XJ600 Diversion is pleasant, predictable and a useful hack. But note the complete absence of the words 'desire', 'excitement', 'performance' or 'thrills'.

The Triumph Speed Triple is one of the second generation of Hinckley Triumphs that, in the late 1990s, really put them back on the map.

The Honda CB500 is a first big motorcycle you'll never want to sell. It's huge fun because it's so confidence-inspiring, meaning you can take it anywhere and it'll make you feel you can push your limits. Very competent: commuters and couriers love Honda CB500s for their reliability and all-round, top-notch performance. In all aspects, the Honda CB500's a winner.
234cc, 20bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 6
Never were the words "trusty little workhorse" so apt as to describe Honda's CB250. The latest incarnation, launched in 1992, represented the swansong for a motorcycle with a history going back to the 1970s. Trusted, reliable and entirely without pretence, the Honda CB250 is a cracking little motorcycle that's given long service to bikers everywhere.

If you want to get to work, carry a butty box and do it all on about 69p per day, then the Suzuki GS125ES is for you. It's about as exciting as cold porridge, but like the Honda C90, or Kawasaki KH125, the Suzuki GS125ES simply provides basic two wheeled transport and costs peanuts to run.

The BMW R1150R is an honest-to-goodness Boxer twin that will provide years of faithful commuting service while not exactly setting pulses racing. Once you've overcome the idiosyncratic indicator switchgear arrangement (one per bar, plus another to cancel), the lumpy motor and poor gearbox, it's actually quite endearing.

I pre-ordered the vinyl that was limited to 333 copies, I missed out on the pre-order of 33 with bonus shirts and stuff.

Q Lily is a Burmese or Bombay mix kitty. Lily doesn't remember it, but she and her sister were dumped in the parking lot at Petsmart when she was one day old. The awesome volunteers scooped her up, bottle fed her, socialized her and gave her love. She thinks people are her parents. She loves people very much. Our family lost our beloved DSH/Maine Coon boy of 15yrs in September. By October, we were really missing having a cat. Mom and daughter discovered Lily one Saturday at an adoption event. Mom was "smitten with the kitten" and still is. (and always will be) Lily adopted us.

people always seem to want to get first blood
I know its basically a kill and those are always good and its fun to get it as well but my question is does it do something specific to the persone who gets its?
Extra gold on kill.
First blood gives more gold, and it makes the lane where the first blood happened easier to farm off.
anyone know the exact amout of gold or is it a random range of gold like killing a minion
I do believe it's an exact amount of 400 gold for accomplishing a First Blood kill
400 gold for first blood. 300 gold for normal kill.
FYI it's impossible to come back at mid if you get first blooded.
People who are die hard to get fb at lvl one are stupid.
At lvl 1 you have NO advantage whatsover. You only have 1 ****py spell at your disposal, and 2 summoner spells same as your enemy.
If you want to kill him, wait for him to make a mistake, or outmanuver him to gain an advantage.
Sorry but the "run to bushes then auto attack+exhaust+ignite till they retreat to tower, and hope they dont auto attack+exhaust+ignite me better" strategy is fail.
they should rename First Blood to Free Boots. i stole that line from wilky.
before minions spawn you could try hiding the whole lot of u in a bush and jump one innocent baddie with ignites up the wazoo XD

Many movies over the past few centuries have inspired fictional drinks that others have tried to concoct themselves. Many of these drinks require a blender and to get the best blender available you will need to check the blender reviews here. These will aid you in picking out the best one for your needs. Not all drinks are alcoholic, but a lot of them are. Here is a list of the most popular choices and the movies they can be seen in.
- From 1962 in the movie The Clockwork Orange, the main character drank a concoction of milk and liquor and called it Moloko Plus, which in Nadsat is Milk Plus. This is known to be "milk with knives in it" and in the movie it was used by the main character to get in the mood for violence. The movie is a wild portrayal of one man's decline into insanity and his actions that get him there.
- From 2006 in the movie Talladega Night: The Ballard of Ricky Bobby, the main sponsor for Ricky Bobby's race car was the Laughing Clown Malt Liquor. This is the famous brand in the movie that sponsored his racing career. I would not be surprised if someone invented this beer or brand, since the fan base of the movie is so wide.
Alcoholic drinks in Television
- From 1996 in the show The Drew Carey Show, the invent Buzz Beer. Drew decides to open his own micro-brewery in his garage and when everyone loves it he starts selling it at his favorite bar. Eventually he gets licensed so he can sell to others. Buzz Beer is one of the most popular known beer brands from television.
- From 1990 in the television show The Simpsons, the main drink for all of the beer drinkers was Duff Beer. This is Homer Simpson's favorite beer drink and has received a very popular following in the Simpson world. Duff Beer is so iconic that there are bumper stickers, t-shirts, toys at fairs and many more souvenir things that can be purchase at many retail stores.
- From 2010 in the television series How I Met Your Mother, in episode Architect of Destruction, Ted offers to buy the group a round of the newest scotch offered at MacLaren's, their favorite bar, the newest Scotch Jumbo Jim's Grape Scotch, is so strong that the waitress warns them not to let it touch there skin.
- From 2012 in the television series Don't Trust the B*^% in Apartment 23, in episode Sexy People. They drink a beer called Can Der Brau, which is named after James Van Der Beek, who is the famous best friend to Cloe who is the B*^% in apartment 23. James Van Der Beek plays himself and he is dead set on finding a new product to market with his name in it so he can be famous again since he has had failed movies, shows, and product launches since his days on Dawson Creek.
Non-Alcoholic drinks in movies
- From 2013 in the movie Turbo, the characters drink an energy drink called Adrenalode, which the ingredients that the drink is supposedly composed of is actually not suitable for drinking. The 5 star Indianapolis winner Guy Gange who is turbo's favorite racer is the representative of the company.
These are all interesting concoctions that have been featured in television and movies over the past centuries and many people have tried to recreate the concoctions for their own personal use. Next time you're watching a movie or television show see what drinks you can identify that the characters drink that maybe you can make all your own.

After graduating from college with a degree in industrial photography, Steve Schroeder honed his shutterbug skills at Houston's Gittings Studio before opening his own studio in 1987. Eight years later Steve and his family relocated to Macon, where he constructed his new studio in the Hardeman-Hatcher house, a Victorian Village dwelling built in the 1880s. The abode's elaborate architecture and flashbulb-wielding ghosts set the backdrop for many of Steve's portraiture sessions. These sessions always commence with a consultation, during which he helps clients determine which outfits and location best complement their style. Any image snapped in studio, on location, or at weddings—Steve has covered nearly 1,000 nuptial ceremonies—undergoes basic retouching. Patrons can also elicit Steve's services for framing or restoration needs, watercolor cards, or to commission the studio's resident artist to create an oil painting of a favorite image from their shoot (turn around time of six–eight weeks).

Access "Better tape restores"
This article is part of the Vol. 3 No. 8 October 2004 issue of Five cutting-edge storage technologies
iSCSI inspires low-cost storage networks Backup applications vary considerably in their implementation, performance and management. Here are some tuning factors to consider for leading backup applications: VERITAS NETBACKUP RESTORE CONSIDERATIONS Fragment size. Some applications like NetBackup let you specify backup fragment size. For instance, a fragment size of 2GB means a 100GB backup will be broken into 50 separate fragments when written to tape. When restoring data, rather than scanning the entire 100GB, NetBackup forwards the tape to the specific fragment containing the requested data, resulting in faster restores. --Jeff Harbert TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER (TSM) RESTORE CONSIDERATIONS Often, full TSM client restores take forever because the client data is spread across too many tape volumes. As dozens, or hundreds, of volumes are mounted for a restore, critical restore time is lost due to tape mounts, dismounts, mount wait settings and data seek time sinks. The key to successfully leveraging tape for restore in a TSM environment boils down to application ... Access >>>

As the most populous city in the world, Shanghai has been shaped by travelers and settlers from all over. This is particularly evident in the city's food, which has been influenced by the culinary styles from both the northern and southern regions of China, as well as dishes from throughout the entire continent of Asia. This cultural integration holds true at Shanghai Café, where the chefs use recipes the Hu family has spent the past half-century perfecting. These recipes follow various Shanghai cooking principles—for instance, the original flavors of meats and fish are allowed to shine through rather than being drowned out by heavy marinades or sauces that are too sweet or salty.
Though the recipes are traditional, they respect modern, healthful eating habits by incorporating natural broths and stocks and limiting the use of oil. Some of the restaurant's signature dishes include boiled dumplings, steamed pork buns, and dim sum—a Shanghai staple. In the spirit of Shanghai's pan-Asian tendencies, the menus also include Thai dishes, such as pad kee mao (drunken noodles), nigiri, sashimi, and maki.
Potomac gets a taste of the Big Apple at Brooklyn's Deli & Catering, where caraway seed-spangled rye bread bookends stacks of pastrami, corned beef, and brisket. All of this meat is slow-cooked on-site and sliced paper-thin—owner Guy Brandt won't have it done any other way. His sandwiches range from standbys like tuna melts and Philly cheesesteaks to specialty items, such as the Esther's Delight: pastrami, cole slaw, and Russian dressing on pumpernickel.
The deli delivers more than just sandwiches, though. There's matzoh ball soup and stuffed cabbage, plus Dr. Brown's soda for washing it all down. Rugelach and hamentaschen also sit enticingly on the counter, awaiting the universal signal for dessert: three belly-pats in quick succession.
Potomac Pizza's chefs toss and stretch fluffy, nonfat, and cholesterol-free dough into pizzas lauded by the Washington Post for "returning pizza to its good name" in a world of national chains. The DC-area pizzerias create each pie with freshly-made sauce and a selection of 24 toppings, such as grilled chicken, eggplant, feta cheese, and Canadian bacon. Potomac Pizza's kitchens also whip up calzones, and other Italian specialties such as lasagna and veal parmesan, served in Potomac's dining rooms or nestled into boxes for takeout and delivery orders.

Scientists from the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Preservation Mission at the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari are using computed tomography and X-ray to study more than 2.5 thousand years old mummies of the priests of the god Montu.
The project began in May. The first mummies, which are currently stored in the Luxor Museum, have already been scanned. The next activities are planned in Cairo, at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) and the Egyptian Museum.
Mummies studied by the scientists come from the tomb of the priests of the god Montu excavated in the Temple of Hatshepsut in the 1930s, nearly a thousand years after the death of the woman pharaoh the place changed its function from the temple to the burial site. Read more.
Russian archaeologists have resumed excavations in a remote site near the Arctic Circle in the attempt to understand a perplexing find of medieval mummies clad in copper masks.
Roughly 1,000 years old, the mummies were found during a series of excavations that started in 1997 in a Siberian necropolis near the village of Zeleniy Yar, at the base of a peninsula local people called "the end of the Earth."
The archaeologists found 34 shallow graves with seven male adults, three male infants, and one female child wearing a copper mask. Buried with a hoard of artifacts, most of the bodies had shattered or missing skulls, and smashed skeletons. Read more.
The study and popular perception of Egyptian antiquities focuses too much on the unwrapping of mummies and the use of technologies such as scanning, according to an academic from the University of East Anglia.
In a new book published today, Egyptologist and former museum curator Dr Christina Riggs challenges the scientific and medical approach that has become commonplace. Unwrapping Ancient Egypt sheds light on both the past and contemporary practices of collecting, displaying and presenting ancient Egypt – and especially Egyptian mummies – in museums and the media.
"Egyptian mummies may pull crowds, but focusing on them only as bodies means we overlook what was arguably much more important from an ancient Egyptian point of view: their wrappings," said Dr Riggs, a senior lecturer in the School of Art History and World Art Studies at UEA. Read more.
Our fascination with mummies never gets old. Now the British Museum is using the latest technology to unwrap their ancient mysteries.
Scientists at the museum have used CT scans and sophisticated imaging software to go beneath the bandages, revealing skin, bones, preserved internal organs—and in one case a brain-scooping rod left inside a skull by embalmers.
The findings go on display next month in an exhibition that sets eight of the museum's mummies alongside detailed three-dimensional images of their insides and 3-D printed replicas of some of the items buried with them.
Bio-archaeologist Daniel Antoine said Wednesday that the goal is to present these long-dead individuals "not as mummies but as human beings." Read more.
Hospital scans help British Museum discover the secrets Egyptians took to their grave, including one woman's intimate tattoo
Wrapped in bandages and caricatured as figures of terror in Hollywood movies, Egypt's mummies have long captivated and bewildered scientists and children alike.
Now a new exhibition at the British Museum will disclose the human side of the mummies of the Nile.
Eight have been – scientifically speaking – stripped bare revealing secrets taken to the grave thousands of years ago.
Subjecting the corpses to the most advanced scientific techniques, including sending the mummies to hospitals around London for CAT scans – the museum's Egyptologists have been able to build up the most detailed picture yet of what lies beneath the sarcophagi and bandage-wrapped bodies. Read more.
Vintage Gouda may be aged for five years, some cheddar for a decade. They're both under-ripe youngsters compared with yellowish clumps – found on the necks and chests of Chinese mummies – now revealed to be the world's oldest cheese.
The Chinese cheese dates back as early as 1615 BC, making it by far the most ancient ever discovered. Thanks to the quick decay of most dairy products, there isn't even a runner-up. The world's best-aged cheese seems to be a lactose-free variety that was quick and convenient to make and may have played a role in the spread of herding and dairying across Asia.
"We not only identified the product as the earliest known cheese, but we also have direct … evidence of ancient technology," Read more.
Beijing: Chinese archaeologists have carefully stripped the 2,200-year-old clothing from four mummies in order to prevent the delicate outfits from decaying with the dried corpses.
Three skulls and four mandible bones of different sizes have been uncovered so far, leading archaeologists to believe they belonged to one man, two women, and a little boy.
"It may be a family buried together, including a husband and two wives with one child," Xu Dongliang with the Academia Turfanica, who joined the undressing work that began on November 20, said.
Among the clothes were woollen pants, knitted mantles, fabric coats, silk scarves, and brightly-coloured sheepskin boots, which offer a glimpse into the delicate handicrafts of that time. Read more.
Care for some ribs? The royal mummies of ancient Egypt apparently did, as a new study finds that "meat mummies" left in Egyptian tombs as sustenance for the afterlife were treated with elaborate balms to preserve them.
Mummified cuts of meat are common finds in ancient Egyptian burials, with the oldest dating back to at least 3300 B.C. The tradition extended into the latest periods of mummification in the fourth century A.D. The famous pharaoh King Tutankhamun went to his final resting place accompanied by 48 cases of beef and poultry. Read more.

Reason.tv: Expanding Choice through Tax Credits - Q&A with Cato's Andrew Coulson
Andrew Coulson, director of the Center for Education Freedom at the Cato Institute, believes giving businesses tax credits for sending kids to private school is the most effective way to expand school choice. The regulatory and legal obstacles to charters schools and vouchers, he argues, present too many hassles to work around.
Reason.tv sat down with Coulson at the National Summit on Education Reform in Washington, D.C. to talk about the public education tax credits and more.
This interview is part of National School Choice Week, a non-partisan initiative to raise awareness of how competition and choice can transform K-12 education.

I'm cool with this, except that this conflicts with the goal of simplifying the tax code. Plus, I am against government subsidies, even in the form of vouchers or credits, for private education.
Libertarians should take direct action, encouraging self-teaching; unschooling; free schools (wiki); etc.
"I'm cool with this, except that this conflicts with the goal of simplifying the tax code."
It would simplify the tax code quite a bit. Try pulling a Stossel and print out and stack on your desk all tax law currently on the books which involves public schools. It will crush your desk. Eliminating public schooling eliminates all this and you would replace it with maybe three pages about which types of scholorship funds are approved for the tax credit.
Did he say "intergalactically"?
If so, this would explain why he never tales off that jacket-it's his skin
LOL, OK this makes a lot of sense dude.
Just tear down the system we have, don't add more to it.
Tear it down how? This IS a method of dismantling the system. Tear it down isn't an actionable plan, this is. If this worked, all you would have is private scholorship funds(which will be crucial in a free market system anyway) and individuals donating to them. I generally oppose tax credits but one that brings down the entire public school monopoly, the Dept. of Ed AND the teachers unions, leaving only a tax credit and an otherwise private system that would itself serve as proof that even that tax credit could be done away with, well that's different.
As far as social engineering goes, tax credits seem the least harmful way to do it. A tax credit is not a "subsidy," as long as somebody has paid into the system at least enough to cover the credit. (If they haven't, then such a tax "credit" is actually a wealth transfer.)
Tax cuts and credits seem as if they are subsidies to people who are used to government spending whatever it wants to anyway, and making up any shortfall with increased taxes that must be borne on the backs of those who DON'T get the credits or the benefit of the cuts. Unless tax cuts are matched by spending cuts, the ever-larger burden of government is spread unfairly throughout the population, and those who get the shaft reasonably, but incorrectly, see the cuts and credits as "subsidies." This is one of the evil games that government plays, pitting those who get cuts and credits against those who don't.
Why not just give dollar-for-dollar tax credits for contributing to ANYONE's education: friend, family, anonymous beneficiary (via scholarship fund donations, e.g.), direct donations to schools, etc.? I agree that this general mechanism would be the best way in the short term to transition to a private funding model. With that mechanism well-established, we could then start dismantling the public-funding model and collect an ever-smaller amount for the "public" education system until the transition were complete.
I've tried arguing with friends about vouchers or any other kind of school choice. It's pretty frustrating how many fall back on "but they'll teach creationism". My answer is always, so what? Kids grow up and face reality sooner or later, and the more that conflicts with what their parents taught them, the more they will question the rest. Kids who believe pi = 3 because the bible says so aren't going to get very far. Besides, goes my second argument, parents have all the time in the world to indoctrinate their kids at home and in church; a few more hours on less than half the days in the year isn't going to do any worse.
Then I point out that a lot of parents want their kids to go to college, real college, not Bob Jones or Hamburger U, and those colleges are going to have real entrance requirements. It won't take very many parents finding their kids rejected for poor education before the rest wise up and tone down the creationism.
My final argument is that public schools are so bad now that it would be hard to find worse, and because there is only one brainwashing system, everybody has to fight for control of it to prevent the other parents from instituting some other brainwashing. If parents could freely choose how to brainwash their own kids, they wouldn't care near as much how other kids are brainwashed.
Alas, none of it does much good. People have it so ingrained in their system that there can be only one proper education system that they can't conceive of any other way.
it's really a good post ,thank you for your sharing
is good

I started putting ds on the potty around 7 1/2 months. I would put him on it when he woke up in the morning and after naps. He would usually pee when I put him on it (even the first time on it he went - as if he knew what to do). It was like the 3rd time on the pot when he pooped - really surprised me. Since then, he has only pooped one time in his diaper and that was just a day or two later. Ever since then, he only poops on the potty. Any one else's doing this? And don't think that I make him sit there for an hour - if he doesn't go within 30 seconds, I get him off of it. I'm not stressing the potty training, but I decided if it keeps him from having to sit in the mess in a diaper, it must be good, right? Did I just start it at the right time? Now I usually put him on when I change his diaper. He's definitely not potty trained - still pees in his diapers - he will go on the potty, too, but he can't wait for the potty. I say that he's just poopy trained. Again, I'm not stressing about this - so please don't think I'm pushing him. But he seems to like going on the pot. (Am I doing something wrong - maybe I am questioning it since I haven't heard much of this at this young of an age around my area)
Haven't changed a poopy diaper in over a month

Wow good job! You should join the elimination communication board. They answer a lot of questions about this. And no, it isn't potty training it's just making an association and preserving the feeling of not wanting to sit in your poo. LO used to go on the potty for poops all the time until she started solids. Now she goes better when she is up walking around or squatting so she doesn't like going on the potty anymore for poop. She does still go for pees. I can usually catch quite a few if I watch her close. Usually after naps and then after she eats or nurses or gets out of the car seat. Saves a bundle on diapers! Keep it going!
Posted 10/31/2012
I think it's great! We've been putting LO on her potty since around 5 mos. I'm not consistent with it, so we still use diapers, but I think it's great to introduce them to the idea early. :). Also, we have 2 little potties and I just move them wherever I need them, one is usually in her room though.

I found this in an old sketchbook. I wanted to try and figure out how the skull of this anime person would look since her mouth is almost in line with where her eyes start.
Enchanting Forests In The World
But why the last one though
what am I not getting
I can't breath…I have not laughed this hard in years
Okay, quick story about the last one- I go to this school too, and the creative writing teacher is rad as hell (like the kind to give out free coffee on fridays)
After all of the kids have submitted their short stories, he reads them all for the first time to his two kids, who help him grade them, in a way.
One time, a girl wrote a story about a sheep, named Trixie, making her dream come true by moving to the big city to become an actress, a singer, or whatever (he was pretty vague on the description)
She took a bus and a few trains and finally ended up in the 'Big City', where she tries to make her dream come true.
Now I dont remember the exact sequence of events that came next, but Trixie the sheep eventually ended up becoming a prostitute mid-sentence.
Our teacher didnt really realize this at the time, since it was his first time reading it, and to his kids he was caught completely off guard. And lets just say he had to explain a few new concepts to his kids that night..
And that's why we can't write any more stories about Trixie going to the Big City.

Anon hate from the late 1800's.
What I love most about this is that this person was SO INCENSED at the recipient that they couldn't even wait the days/weeks it would take for the mail to go through. No, they had to say "FUCK YOU" as soon as fucking possible and, AND, let the recipient that they were not done with the fuck you, nay, this was merely the first volley in what would undoubtably be a dressing down of Biblical proportions.
When you are hurting, there will always be people who find a way to make it about themselves. If you break your wrist, they'll complain about a sprained ankle. If you are sad, they're sadder. If you're asking for help, they'll demand more attention.
Here is a fact: I was in a hospital and sobbing into my palms when a woman approached me and asked why I was making so much noise and I managed to stutter that my best friend shot himself in the head and now he was 100% certified dead and she made this little grunt and had the nerve to tell me, "Well now you made me sad."
When you get angry, there are going to be people who ask you to shut up and sit down, and they're not going to do it nicely. Theirs are the faces that turn bright red before you have a chance to finish your sentence. They won't ask you to explain yourself. They'll be mad that you're mad and that will be their whole reason alone.
Here is a fact: I was in an alleyway a few weeks ago, stroking my friend's back as she vomited fourteen tequila shots. "I hate men," she wheezed as her sides heaved, "I hate all of them."
I braided her hair so it wouldn't get caught in the mess. I didn't correct her and reply that she does in fact love her father and her little brother too, that there are strangers she has yet to meet that will be better for her than any of her shitty ex-boyfriends, that half of our group of friends identifies as male - I could hear each of her bruises in those words and I didn't ask her to soften the blow when she was trying to buff them out of her skin. She doesn't hate all men. She never did.
She had the misfortune to be overheard by a drunk guy in an ill-fitting suit, a boy trying to look like a man and leering down my dress as he stormed towards us. "Fuck you, lady," he said, "Fuck you. Not all men are evil, you know."
"Thanks," I told him dryly, pulling on her hand, trying to get her inside again, "See you."
He followed us. Wouldn't stop shouting. How dare she get mad. How dare she was hurting. "It's hard for me too!" he yowled after us. "With fuckers like you, how's a guy supposed to live?"
Here's a fact: my father is Cuban and my genes repeat his. Once one of my teachers looked at my heritage and said, "Your skin doesn't look dirty enough to be a Mexican."
When my cheeks grew pink and my tongue dried up, someone else in the classroom stood up. "You can't say that," he said, "That's fucking racist. We could report you for that."
Our teacher turned vicious. "You wanna fail this class? Go ahead. Report me. I was joking. It's my word against yours. I hate kids like you. You think you've got all the power - you don't. I do."
Later that kid and I became close friends and we skipped class to do anything else and the two of us were lying on our backs staring up at the sky and as we talked about that moment, he sighed, "I hate white people." His girlfriend is white and so is his mom. I reached out until my fingers were resting in the warmth of his palm.
He spoke up each time our teacher said something shitty. He failed the class. I stayed silent. I got the A but I wish that I didn't.
Here is a fact: I think gender is a social construct and people that want to tell others what defines it just haven't done their homework. I personally happen to have the luck of the draw and am the same gender as my sex, which basically just means society leaves me alone about this one particular thing.
Until I met Alex, who said he hated cis people. My throat closed up. I'm not good at confrontation. I avoided him because I didn't want to bother him.
One day I was going on a walk and I found him behind our school, bleeding out of the side of his mouth. The only thing I really know is how to patch people up. He winced when the antibacterial cream went across his new wounds. "I hate cis people," he said weakly.
I looked at him and pushed his hair back from his head. "I understand why you do."
Here is a fact: anger is a secondary emotion. Anger is how people stop themselves from hurting. Anger is how people stop themselves by empathizing.
It is easy for the drunken man to be mad at my friend. If he says "Hey, fuck you, lady," he doesn't have to worry about what's so wrong about men.
It's easy for my teacher to fail the kids who speak up. If we're just smart-ass students, it's not his fault we fuck up.
It's easy for me to hate Alex for labeling me as dangerous when I've never hurt someone a day in my life. But I'm safe in my skin and his life is at risk just by going to the bathroom. I understand why he says things like that. I finally do.
There's a difference between the spread of hatred and the frustration of people who are hurting. The thing is, when you are broken, there will always be someone who says "I'm worse, stop talking." There will always be people who are mad you're trying to steal the attention. There will always be people who get mad at the same time as you do - they hate being challenged. It changes the rules.
I say I hate all Mondays but my sister was born on one and she's the greatest joy I have ever known. I say I hate brown but it's really just the word and how it turns your mouth down - the colour is my hair and my eyes and my favorite sweater. I say I hate pineapple but I still try it again every Easter, just to see if it stings less this year. It's okay to be sad when you hear someone generalize a group you're in. But instead of assuming they're evil and filled with hatred, maybe ask them why they think that way - who knows, you might just end up with a new and kind friend.
if you're ever feeling sad, just remember that according to the infinite multiverse theory, there is a universe out there in which you are a member of starfleet and have probably saved the world at least once
