Crystal Cummings didn't really plan to be a varsity girls' basketball coach in the largest classification in South Carolina public school athletics. In fact, when she applied for a job at North Augusta High School, the Augusta State grad was in the market to be a physical education teacher and not necessarily at the high school level.
Then Crystal Bush, a PE teacher at North Augusta Middle School and one of Cummings' masters-level classmates, told Cummings about a PE opening at North Augusta High School.
While she hadn't intended to teach high-schoolers, she contacted the school about the opening anyway.
"When I called, they asked me if I had any coaching experience," Cummings said.
She did, but as a volunteer coach at the Family Y. Despite a lack of varsity-level experience, Cummings had a strategy that she had outlined for a paper while getting her master's degree. In it, she described her "defense-minded" game plan that centers around man-to-man defense.
Cummings said that, in watching basketball at all levels including high school ball, a majority of the teams she saw ran a zone defense. Because of that, she figured most teams' normal offensive sets would be geared toward attacking a zone defense.
"Some plays that work with man defense don't work with man defense because of rotation," Cummings reasoned.
Her strategy also dictates that the team "will press the majority of the game," and it must have struck a chord with the NAHS administration.
"From there, they offered me the job, and I've been working on it ever since," Cummings said.
The hiring decision, while perhaps a bit outside the norm, has paid off so far. The Yellow Jackets are 4-1 so far and have beaten Evans and Lakeside twice each, both out of the Georgia side of the Augusta area.
While the solid start is certainly pleasant, it has by no means been a surprise to Cummings. She said she knew the Jackets were a good squad after returning several players from last year's Region 5-AAAA third-place team, but she obviously couldn't know what her opponents were going to be able to do.
"I kind of expected it," she said. "I got handed a very good team with great work ethic."
The leader of that work ethic is senior swing player Jasmine Coach, Cummings said. An All-Aiken Standard third-team selection a year ago, Coach scored 26 points in the Jackets' 68-52 win over Evans on Dec. 11 and is someone Cummings considers the "mood of the team."
When Coach is talkative and excited, the team is excited. When Coach comes into practice more reserved, so do the rest of the Jackets.
"She brings energy. Always count on her to bring the energy," Cummings said. "She's one of the hardest-working players on the team."
Another player that's been key to implementing Cummings' game plan is Mallory Stone. A second-team All-Aiken Standard honoree after last season, Stone has always been a "pretty big volume scorer," but she's stepped up at the other end of the floor this year.
"She's the leader of my defensive front," Cummings said.
In addition to Arielle Houston and Ja'Lyn Sanders, Cummings has been pleased with what she's gotten out of Desmonet Williams. A sophomore that was on the junior varsity team last season, Wilson – like Houston – added eight points to the Jackets' efforts against Evans.
"She has really been a surprise. She has come on strong," Cummings said of Wilson. "I'm really excited that I'll get her for this year and then two more years after that."
Cummings will next get a chance to test her system on Tuesday, when the Jackets host Grovetown (Ga.) at 6 p.m. with revenge in mind, after the Warriors handed them their first loss of the year by a 50-45 overtime margin on Saturday. North Augusta will begin region play on Jan. 8 when they play host to Lexington.
Jeremy Timmerman has a journalism degree from Mercer University and has been at the Aiken Standard since June 2010.

Jumbo Calculator
By Christopher Weems
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Jumbo Calculator is the super simple large-buttoned calculator for everyone, ages 2-92*. While sadly you can't feel the exquisite texture of its large plastic buttons (and the included solar panel doesn't actually charge your battery), Jumbo Calculator succeeds at its main purposes: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. One size fits all.
· Easy to read and find buttons (you might be able to touch type on a touchscreen).
· Retina graphics for iPad with Retina Display.
· Simple gestures for backspace (swipe the calculator screen) and copy & paste (double tap).
· A smaller version of the calculator in landscape for when you're just too tired to stretch your fingers.
· VoiceOver support for blind and low-vision users.
If you're under the age of 2, parental supervision is recommended. If you're over the age of 92, of course you're welcome to use Jumbo Calculator.
What's New in Version 1.2.1
• Fixes a bug when upgrading to Jumbo Calculator Plus.
New in 1.2:
• Copy and Paste by double tapping the calculator display.
• Jumbo Calculator is now ad-supported. (see note below)
• Pressing clear while entering a calculation now only clears the last entered term instead of your entire calculation.
• Larger font in portrait mode. (Put your glasses away, the original Jumbo font is back!)
• VoiceOver support for blind and low vision users. (Available in English & Italian.)
• Much improved support for international number formats.
• Fixes a keyboard delay after a period of inactivity.
• Decimal input is no longer limited to 6 decimal places.
• Multiplying or dividing a string of numbers now updates the screen mid calculation.
• Calculator memory is no longer cleared when screen locks and "Clear Calculator On Launch" is enabled.
• Fixes a bug with Jumbo Calculator losing connection to a Bluetooth keyboard.
• Localized for Italian speakers.
***Jumbo Calculator is now ad-supported. While there are now banner ads at the bottom of the screen, Jumbo will never resort to popup ads when you launch the app, nor will it ever have large blinking ads that interrupt you while calculating. If you prefer an ad-free experience, Jumbo Calculator Plus is available on the App Store for $0.99.
iPad Screenshots
Customer Reviews
Needs some improvements for better low vision use.
The display font should be as large as the key font.
The display should have a option to display white numbers on a black background.
Both should be just a little wider and taller.
The pretty fades on the keys should be an option the can be turned off.
Was a great tool and I used it for years until a recent update to the app now pushes annoying ads! Deleted the app.
Now Ad-Supported
I purchased this program years ago, and have used it often. However, the most recent update has made the app ad-supported which is not how you should treat customers that purchased and supported the app early on.

The family owned shop on Snake River Avenue, had issues with renovating the old building and gaining approval from the city for certain aspects of the building process.
Store manager Elizabeth Browne said that missing the Christmas rush did put a slight damper on the store's sales, but they've been running around to keep up with demand since Wednesday, which was the first official day they were open for business as part of a "soft open."
"I just was flabbergasted, there were so many people," said Browne. "It was a blessing."
Browne said the store has plans for a grand opening, scheduled for late February that will feature giveaways from the corporate Sears store.

Question from
I have a Rosa 'Compassion' growing on one side (and over) a pergola which surrounds a walkway. I prune it back in the winter to a framework of horizontal stems but throughout the summer the stems that grow from the framework are very long in length before they flower and this makes walking through the pergola a little risky ! Are long growth spurs a feature of this rose or am I pruning it incorrectly?

Photos: Juanma Lopez, Jonathan Oquendo Hit Las Vegas
Former two time world champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez and contender Jonathan "Polvo" Oquendo arrived tonight in Las Vegas for their fights this Saturday, July 12, as part of the Saul "Canelo" Alvarez against Erislandy Lara card, that will take place at the MGM Grand, in a Golden Boy Promotions presentation, to be broadcasted on Showtime Pay Per View.
Juanma Lopez (34-3, 31 KOs) will defend his WBO International junior lightweight title against Francisco "Bandido" Vargas (19-0-1, 13 KOs) in a fight scheduled to 10 rounds. For Lopez, this is the fourth time he is going to fight in Las Vegas. His last bout there was in 2010 when he beat Rafael Marquez by TKO.
Meanwhile Oquendo (24-3, 16 KOs), who is going to fight for the fifth time at the MGM Grand, will face former three time world champion Abner Mares (26-1-1, 14 KOs) in a featherweight 10 rounds scheduled bout. In Las Vegas Oquendo is 4-0 with three KOs, being his last fight there in 2007.
The main event will have former 154 pounds world champion Canelo Avarez (43-1-1, 31 KOs) facing the WBA junior middleweight titlist Erislandy Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs) in a 12 rounds scheduled non-title fight.
Rooting for Mares to comeback in a strong showing and hoping for El Bandido to rise up and get a big win against another solid name. This fight will truly test Vargas' chin and if it's granite then his work…Comment by PETUFF on 07-08-2014

How can you get smooth edges? These don't look very neat...
Petit fours are tricky and rarely have perfect sides. There are a few ways to improve the look, but they take far more time and typically are not worth the extra effort. The method I showed is the quick option with a lighter cake. Using a very dense cake is absolutely best. You could also individually ice each cake with buttercream before coating or apply multiple coats or poured icing.

Not so, they work and look great. Cleaning the old double faced tape from my doors was the biggest problem. The new deflectors install easily. Clean channel with alcohol before installing and keep windows closed for a few days to fully adhere. I'm very happy with the Wade In-Channel Window Deflectors by Westin.

In terms of clout, the chief residential real estate agency in one of the more popular communities in metro Charleston landed a one-two punch recently.
Daniel Island Real Estate, considered the top selling agency on the island, disclosed that it has affiliated with two "prestigious real estate networks."
The company plans to expand its scope and extend its reach as a real estate firm through its connections with the groups, Luxury Real Estate and Leverage Global Partners.
As a member of each network, Daniel Island Real Estate says it will be touted as the "premier authority" on the island among luxury real estate agents and property buyers worldwide.
"It is an honor to be joining these two networks of elite industry peers," says Rick Vale, broker-in-charge of Daniel Island Real Estate. "These affiliations would not be possible without the hard work of our team," he says.
Luxury Real Estate, known since the mid-1980s as a "who's who" of fine homes around the globe, showcases a collection of top-notch luxury real estate brokers. To join, agencies must list and sell in the top 10 percent of their market and "demonstrate proven expertise in the marketing and sale of luxury properties," according to Daniel Island Real Estate.
The network counts representatives in more than 85 countries and sells more than $190 billion of real estate a year. For more information, visit www.luxuryrealestate.com.
Leverage Global Partners, meanwhile, focuses on relocation needs of home sellers and buyers in the U.S. and across the globe.
The network "aligns the most prestigious independent real estate brokerage firms from around the world - only one exclusive member per community - creating a global network of professionals" involved in helping people move to new regions, states and countries, Daniel Island Real Estate notes.
Leverage Global Partners network members are vetted for their "high standards of exceptional client service, local market expertise and presence," the Charleston real estate company says.
For more, visit www.leveragere.com.
The network ties were announced at the same time a host of Daniel Island Real Estate agents earned top local honors.
"We're particularly proud of their achievements in this year's local Realtors of Distinction awards," Vale says.
Administered by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors, the "Realtors of Distinction" prizes highlight the best-selling agents in the area. According to Daniel Island Real Estate, eight of its 11 sales associates were cited for ranking among the top 10 listing and selling agents on the island.
They are Carey Tipple, Brian Connolly, Brenda Cook, Meg Latour, Angie Johnson, Rick Horger, Meryl Cromarty and Sally Castengera.
Realtors of Distinction make up the top 10 percent of Charleston area Realtors performing in specific markets such as Daniel Island. In addition, seven of the agency's sales associates placed among the top 10 percent of the 4,000 Realtors throughout greater Charleston.
Daniel Island Real Estate leads in residential sales on the island, which is located in the city of Charleston and in Berkeley County.
The agency says it offers "the largest inventory of new and resale homes, home sites, townhomes and condominiums" in a territory consisting of the entire 4,000-acre master planned community. Daniel Island sits on both sides of Interstate 526 about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston.
An affiliate of the island's master developer, Daniel Island Real Estate "focuses exclusively on Daniel Island property," the company says.
Its sales office, which overlooks the Wando River, stands out as the only real estate office on the island. It's a "first stop for visitors seeking information about Charleston's island town," according to the company.

Working-Class Studies Association 2011 Conference, hosted by the Chicago Center for Working-Class Studies Conference Theme: Working-Class Organization and Power
United States
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
June 22-25
University of Illinois-Chicago
Conference Theme: Working-Class Organization and Power As an academic field, Working-Class Studies premises that the working class lacks sufficient power in all aspects of modern life – from financial means to means of expression – and that universities and their scholarly disciplines can help redress inequalities of class power by paying consistent attention to working-class life and experience in all its messy diversity. While including all the traditional themes of previous Working-Class Studies Association conferences, the 2011 Chicago conference will highlight working-class organizations, old and new, and will encourage participants to think about organizational means to enhance working-class power over daily life at work and in the community, in democratic politics and public policy, and in cultural expression. Plenaries will be organized to draw on current working-class organizational forms with a robust presence in the Chicago area:
The immigrant rights movement
The living wage movement
Union organizing & workers centers
Traditional community organizing
Churches and working-class spiritual life
Workers' voices and artistic expression
But against this background, we encourage the wild diversity of topics, themes, presentations, and panels that have characterized previous Working-Class Studies conferences. Please try and place your proposal within one of the categories below, as this will help us organize individual presentations into more coherent groups. But as long as your proposal relates to working-class life and experience, don't hesitate to use the "Other" category at the bottom of our list. Class in the classroom: teaching about class, students as workers, teaching working-class and middle-class students, working class academics, class and K-12 education, labor education.
Intersections of race, class and gender: race/whiteness studies, gender and class, class and ethnicity, class and sexuality,immigration/migrant workers
Representations of work and workers: class and the arts, working-class history, working-class literature, labor and the body, working-class film, the future of work, working-class humor, media studies/criticism
Class, politics and public policy: inequalities of wealth and voice, working-class political theory, class and electoral politics, class and health care, class and the environment, urban and rural class issues, social movements and class, resistance and transformation, working-class economics
Transnational perspectives on class: war, class and the military, class in a global economy, organizing across borders, labor rights/human rights
Class cultures: the anthropology of class; middle-class, working-class and poverty-class cultures, cross-class alliances,straddlers and cognitive dissonance
Conference theme: working-class organization and power Other Guidelines for Proposals
Sessions will be 75 minutes, and we will ask presenters to limit their remarks to 15 minutes each so that there is ample time for Q&A and discussion. Proposals may be for one of three forms:
Individual presentation, paper, or talk.
Panel session or workshop, featuring multiple presenters, proposing jointly.
Performance, reading, or screening of creative work. Proposals should include:
Proposed title and a brief (150-word) description
Suggested topic category (see list above)
Brief biographical statement and contact information, including mailing and e-mail addresses.
Technology needs, if any.
Proposals for papers, presentations, and sessions are welcome until January 10, 2011. Notification of acceptance will be made by March 1. Submit proposals electronically to email@example.com Inquiries and special requests should be directed to Jack Metzgar at the same e-mail address.
Closer to the event a web site will be available with full information on registration, travel, lodging, and the program as it develops. The site will include information about how to apply for low-income travel grants and reduced registration fees.

Alberta budget - Expenses and deficit 1984 - 2012
These charts show Alberta's deficits, surpluses and expenses. The first is a look at the deficit / surplus over time. The second is a look at expenses by function from 1984 to 2012.
Want to make your own visualizations? Click the links under the charts to download the data in JavaScript object notation format.
For the best experience with this app, please use Firefox or Chrome.
Made by Lucas Timmons using d3js.
Deficit or surplus
Use this chart to explore which years Alberta faced the largest deficit or saw the largest surplus, and which premier was in power at that time.
Each tick on the horizontal line at the bottom represents a budget year. The vertical line represents the total of the deficit/surplus. Above the zero line indicates a surplus, below $0 a deficit.
The circles represent the deficit or surplus in actual dollars and in dollars adjusted for inflation. The larger the circle, the larger the deficit/surplus. Use the scale in the top left corner for an idea of value. You can also click on the circles to get an exact amount for that circle.
The circles are colour-coded to the premier for that budget.
As a general rule, when in surplus, the top circle will be the one adjusted for inflation. When in deficit, the bottom circle will be the one adjusted for inflation.
Alberta government expenses
This chart represents Alberta government annual expenses from 1984 through the current budget, measured in millions of dollars.
Each colour in the stacks represents an expense, sized to show its portion of total expenses that year. Move your cursor over the stacks to see the exact amounts.
The default view shows all items grouped by year. If you would rather compare expenses from year-to-year, click the "stack" button to get stacked bar chart. To go back to the standard grouping, click the button again.

Chris Johnson Only Cares About Winning
Some NFL players embrace fantasy football, play fantasy football and even say they?re motivated by drafting themselves in their own fantasy leagues. Other NFL players find fantasy football to be an annoyance, and wish fans would shut up about it.
Titans running back Chris Johnson is in the latter group.
After Johnson was held to just 21 yards on 15 carries in Sunday?s win over the Jets, he lashed out on Twitter at the fans who had complained to him that he was hurting their fantasy teams.
?Public service announcement: I can care less about fantasy football. Key word fantasy. As long as we win I?m happy. I rush for 200 n lose y?all happy,? Johnson wrote. ?U r the head coach n the owner of ur fantasy team so u should be mad at urself I didn?t ask any of u to draft me so if I?m so sorry y start me.?

It is obvious to anyone that has done a Google search or Microsoft Knowledge Base search that there is a problem with a lot (if not all?) Satellite A-Series laptops (maybe non-A-series as well) and their complete inability to recognize USB Mass Storage Devices... and if they do recognize them (which can change each time you plug them in), they aren't able to read them. I've spent the past week looking into this problem and don't want the typical "You're probably an idiot so lets start with the obvious" answers. The device works in other computers, I've updated bios, I tried updating the USBSTOR.SYS driver, I've tried tricks with copying the USBSTOR.INF file to different folders (If these names aren't exactly right it is because I don't feel like looking them up again... but I should have them memorized by now), I checked the MSKB for fixes... but I now realize it is a Toshiba problem, not a Vista problem. This problem occurred prior to and after a complete Vista re-install.
For the record, I am using a Toshiba Satellite A135-S2246. But if you search Google, the problem occurs in a lot of Satellite models. I am trying to connect an Archos 5 Personal Media Player, which uses the generic USB Mass Storage Device driver. I plug it in and it says not recognized. I unplug it, plug it back in and it says Mass Storage Device but with a problem. Sometimes I plug it in and it says Mass Storage Device without a problem but the drive that shows up in Explorer isn't called ARCHOS like it should be and trying to open it does nothing but freeze Explorer.
This problem though seems to occur with all sorts of mass storage devices, if not all of them. Someone mentioned the USB ports may not be supplying enough current because battery life is more important than functionality. I just want the computer to work like it is supposed to. I've read plenty of posts where people with this problem have bought PCMCIA USB Cards and it has worked so it is the 4 useless built-in ports. I should not have to buy a card to connect mass storage devices. What kind of engineering is this? Mass storage devices have been around for quite some time now. Please give me the answer to this question, or at least several new things to try, which I'm sure I've tried already anyway, to give me a glimmer of hope. Thank you in advance.
I feel your pain! I managed to wear out a HP Pavillion ZD 8000 but was able to back the hard drive before it I had it "put to sleep". I replaced it with a Satellite-A505-S6960 and there is no way the Satellite will recognize the external hard drive. I hope you get a repsonse soon.....

Thanks. If I do find out a way to resolve this problem I will post it here because there have been over 100 views in the past 3-4 days, and only about 20 of those can be attributed to my online stalker. I may get to the point where I open it up and go all "Tim Allen" on it and just add MORE POWER!!! arr Arr ARRRRR!
Until then I will continue to pray that someone from Toshiba actually reads the post and replies with a solution like "Oh yeah... you just gotta press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Spacebar+7+X+A-Z to turn the boy USB ports into MAN USB ports!", but I have a feeling it would be more like "Crap! Another USB-Mass-Storage-Device post! Just close the browser Steve... ignore it and they will all just go away..."
First off, Toshiba doesn't have any Support Personel posting in the forums, it's just other users offering what help they can.
A lot of laptops use USB ports that don't provide enough power to power up an external hard drive to conserve battery power. The easiest fix is to use a dual usb cable to utilize two usb ports to obtain enough power. Something like this one is what I'm referring to, although you would need to make sure that it has the correct plug for your hard drive.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
Thanks for the reply. First off, I realize that it is unlikely Toshiba Support Personnel will read my post. I could barely get them to pay attention when I was on the phone with them. I just wrote that because they would probably be the only people able to give me a solution (if one existed) that didn't involve me buying something to make their laptop work as it should. As I mentioned in the original post, buying a PCMCIA card with USB ports seems to offer a workaround... but to me, USB ports (specifically the "U" for Universal) would imply that they are... well... universal... universally the same... similar... like they offer the same functionality no matter what computer I'm on. I also mentioned in the original post about it possibly being a power problem... but the problem occurs when I plug in a USB thumb (flash) drive, or when I plug in a self-powered Archos 5 Portable Media Player, which does have an actual hard drive in it (which is irrelevant being that it's self-powered and on when connecting.) Now I should point out that I am able to connect devices such as wireless optical mouses to all four less-than-Universal-SB ports, so no, the ports are not just completely broken. Also, both mass storage devices connect to any other computer I've tried (btw none of which were Toshiba). It just amazes me that this would even be a problem given how long USB mass storage devices have been around, such as USB thumb (flash) drives.
So I'm just trying to spread the word... let others know that they are not alone. And if enough people read my story maybe it will get back to Toshiba Support Personnel where they'll hopefully correct the problem and allow my childrens' children to one day buy Toshiba laptops and USB mass storage devices in harmony and without fear. (I attempt to add a little hint of humor sometimes because as I told Trina, otherwise, I'd cry.)
But thanks for the information on the dual-USB cable. That may solve the problem for at least some devices, and I hope it does since its a less-expensive option compared to the PCMCIA card... but since Toshiba will leave it to us to guess what is causing the problem I guess its a gamble with any option you try. Maybe a good idea for a post would be to list laptop models, devices, and what method you used to allow them to connect.
Godspeed, Satellite users.

It was merely a promotional photo shoot. Local company ReconCraft, a boat manufacturer that specializes in replicating riverine shallow draft vessels, was filming a video for their company. But to the casual passerby, these Vietnam era boats known as PBR's caused quite a stir thanks to the fake armaments.
"It's a mock 50-caliber machine gun on front," said Asotin County Sheriff Bancroft. "But in no way, shape or form can it fire."
Calls came flooding into the Sheriff's office with concerns that a possible motion picture was being filmed on the river because of the old time look of the boats.
"Trouble is they didn't let law enforcement know they were going to be about here so I've been getting calls trying to find out what's going on here," said Bancroft.
The boats also had markings on the side like Border Patrol and some confused the police lights for the real thing.
"People get a little upset when they see these things out here," said Bancroft. "The boat marked border patrol does belong to them, they're making modifications to that."
Bancroft said the company took their boats farther down the river to finish their promotional shoot after making modifications to their marked vessels.
U.S. Border Patrol had no comment on the replica vessels, however Sheriff Bancroft made them remove the U.S. Border Patrol markings on the boat.

Classic Game Room reviews the first GRAN TURISMO game released for the Playstation in 1998! This is the 1st Gran Turismo and the one that started it all, created by Polyphony Digital for the Sony PS1 back in the day. A combination of a racing simulator and arcade style driving game, Gran Turismo had car licenses from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Aston Martin, TVR and many others. Buy cars; modify them with mufflers, computer chips and new transmissions; and drive in a variety of cool races on well designed tracks like Deep Forest, Trial Mountain, and Grand Valley. GT1 was revolutionary and exciting, fun and addictive. Although Sony and Polyphony outdid themselves on the PSone with Gran Turismo 2, GT1 remains a true classic worthy of playing once more. This Classic Game Room review of Gran Turismo has gameplay and footage from the game showing how awesome it is. As we eagerly await Gran Turismo 5 gameplay you can enjoy this original GT1 video game review. Classic Game Room reviews many driving games and loves to ask questions like is GT5 vs. Forza 2 a worthy competition? Which is better? How about Gran Tourismo 1 review and Night Driver? This Polyphony Digital masterpiece is a PSone disc worth owning.

"HEAVY" Rubber Irrigation Canal Lining
- Use irrigation district workers to install Skidmark Geomembrane™.
- Reduce project cost and provide off season work for employees.
Skidmark Geomembrane is composed of a blend of recycled rubber and recycled plastic. The total content of recycled material is greater than 85%. The source materials have not been co-mingled. Therefore, the compound is blended at the time of extrusion to provide a consistent product.
The benefit of this product is a heavy, durable membrane liner for irrigation canals and ditches at a competitive price while diverting waste material from it's destiny with the landfill.
Recycled .... but with the quality and consistency equal to virgin polymers
39' long rolls for specified canal liner width 200' long rolls will be cut to length on site
The liner weighs just over one half pound per square foot and is supplied in eight foot wide rolls. The common roll length is 200 feet and weighs 900 pounds.
Many canal operators may question the practicability of handling and installing this liner due to the weight and the eight foot width limitation. We are confident that our installation system is practical and economical for irrigation district employees to install.
Please visit Lining Installation page. The photos and explanation with show that you really can do this with your employees.
Other important features include:
- Workers can be trained on site in minutes and become proficient the first day
- Welded seams are secure and can be accomplished at low temperature
- Tolerant of "less than perfect" canal bed preparation
- Repair cracked and deteriorating concrete lined canals
- Easy to install around canal turns
- May be anchored using re-bar without the need for berm trenches
- Backer rubber adds stiffness in the invert preventing uplift
- Gravel or rock ballast is not required in most installations because;
- Specific gravity = 1.2, Thickness = .100" weight per sq' = .56 pounds
- Seam backer rubber adds additional 30% to overall weight.
Assistance, Training and Support until the job is finished!

Eminence Independent Schools don't shy away from making history and this upcoming school year is no exception.
Not only will the school be debuting its largest renovation project ever in the Edhub, students, parents and staff will be introduced to the district's first assistant superintendent, although many will already know him.
Thom Coffee, who previously served the district as the instructional supervisor, will now take on additional responsibilities and fill a role made necessary by exponential growth and changing needs for administrative support, said EIS Superintendent Buddy Berry.
An Eminence man who shot himself in the chest during a confrontation with police July 12 now faces criminal charges, according to information from the Eminence Police Department.
Chief Kevin Kemper, Officer Phillip Parham and a Kentucky State Police trooper responded to a call from an Eminence woman who reported her husband was "acting out," as well as a second report of an aggressive driver nearly running another vehicle off the road on Main Street.
Eminence Police Department officers continue to investigate two recent shootings, according to police reports. In a July 12 incident, an Eminence man was hospitalized with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
At approximately 6:48 p.m., Chief Kevin Kemper responded to a call from a woman who reported "her husband had taken too much medication and was acting out," according to Officer John Bailey, who is investigating the incident.
At the time, she was in a blue, four-door passenger vehicle that her husband was driving.
The 14th annual Hats Off to Kentucky's Horse Industry Day – featuring free, family-friendly events designed to celebrate the horse – is Saturday, July 30, from 4 to 10 p.m. at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, according to a news release.
The 2016 Hats Off Day theme is "Horses in Hollywood" and features a red carpet walk for costumed horses as well as look-alikes mimicking famous horses such as Seabiscuit.
Henry County campers in attendance from July 17 to 22 at the Kentucky Sheriffs' Boys and Girls Ranch included Chelsey Richie and Elizabeth Nichols. Also pictured are Henry County Sheriff Danny Cravens and daughter Macey, who transported the campers, and Ranch Head Counselor Kayla Mayfield.

The Grand United Order of the Odd Fellows won't have to weather another winter without a roof, if donors help raise another $30,000, according to organizers of the Save the Washington Lodge campaign.
Organizers continue to push to save the historic building the fraternal organization has occupied since 1886 and preserve it for the future. The fundraising work began after a heavy snowstorm caused the roof to collapse in March 2015.
Being appointed to the Horse Park Commission isn't the first rodeo for a Henry County man in terms of service on a state board.
When Gov. Matt Bevin revamped the Kentucky Horse Park Commission, he appointed a local businessman and horse owner to the oversight body for the 1,224-acre equestrian-themed state park in Lexington.

Local History: Tunica men and women alike answer duty's call
Numerous men and women of Tunica County enlisted in the armed forces during World War II. These citizens served in every capacity, from fighter planes to nurses, to barbers, and after the war, most of them returned to Tunica to get married, have families and carry on the farms and businesses left behind.
Others gave their lives. Eight Tunica men died in the battles surrounding the D-Day invasion. Many soldiers were buried in American graves in England and Europe.

Equity Award Recipients
Equity Awards recognize and publicize individuals and institutions that have achieved excellence in recruiting and retaining underrepresented racial and ethnic groups into the historic profession. Two equity awards are given annually: one for individuals and another for academic units. The award can be conferred for new initiatives or for sustained efforts. These equity awards are meant to recognize and publicize individuals and institutions that have achieved excellence in recruiting and retaining underrepresented racial and ethnic groups into the historic profession. While the awards are honorary and have no monetary component, winners receive a certificate of recognition that specially honors their efforts to secure and sustain diversity in the profession.
2015 Equity Awards
Individual Award: Víctor Macías-González, Univ. of Wisconsin-La Crosse
The Committee on Minority Historians is very pleased to confer the 2015 Equity Award on Víctor Macías-González, associate professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. As numerous letters from colleagues and former students make clear, Professor Macías-González has been tireless in his efforts to mentor underrepresented students and open the historical profession, and academia in general, to peoples of all backgrounds. A prominent scholar of Latino/a history, his many achievements include directing the Institute for Latino/a and Latin American Studies, and creating the Eagle Mentoring Program.
Institutional Award: Jacqueline Looney, senior associate dean for graduate programs and associate vice provost for academic diversity, Duke University Graduate School
Over the past 25 years, primarily under the leadership of Jacqueline Looney, Duke University Graduate School has succeeded in recruiting and retaining students from historically underrepresented minority groups, more than tripling the percentage of enrolled graduate students of color. In the history department this has resulted in more than 23 black PhD recipients since 1998, most of whom are now tenured at colleges and universities across the globe.

Welcome to my collection of Michelada Recipes . I love this Mexican concoction, and you will too. A Michelada is a Mexican drink made with beer, lime juice, sauces, salt and spices. It can also contain Clamato Juice.
Brewing companies are even bottling variations of the cocktail. Miller has the Miller Chill. Budweiser has the Bud Light Lime, and if you like Clamato, the Chelada. I suggest you steer clear of these terrible abominations. They are horrible and may keep you from ever trying a real michelada. You are best off choosing your favorite blonde or amber Mexican beer and mixing your own. Its is super easy and delicious.
A Michelada is served in a chilled, salt-rimmed glass. There are many recipe variations of this drink throughout Mexico and Latin America along with the many additional variations we now have in the united states. The drink can consist of any mix of the following michelada ingredients.
Beer – Preforably Mexican
Citrus – At least 2 whole small limes or lemons
Sauces – Clamato, Jugo Maggi, Salsa Inglesa, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, Bloody Mary Mix, Goya Botanita, Tobasco, Valentina Salsa Picante, Buffalo Hot Sauce and more.
Seasonings – Salt, Chili Powder, Tajin, Celery Salt and more.
There are about as many michelada recipes as there are stars in the sky.
On the next few pages you will be introduced to my many Michelada recipes. Keep in mind that these recipes can, and should to be adjusted to your particular taste. Just as everyone has a thier favorite Bloody Mary recipes, everyone should have their own Michelada recipes. So experiment, and when you create your favorite mixture please post it here to share with everyone.

Historical Traveler Reviews El Zopilote Mojado Guanajuato
Very nice!
This bed-and-breakfast appartment (three guest rooms) is located in the city centre of Guanajuato, but far away from the noise. The nice building is overlooking one of the beautiful small plazas in Guanajuato.
The rooms are decorated individually and the guests can use the recreation area at the top of the small house (beautiful view of the city) and one can also use the well equiped kitchen.
The owner of this BaB has been very friendly and helpful.
The only negative thing has been the big cockroach, who lived in the bathroom ... mexican style. I guess we had bad luck, because the whole building has been very clean.
We are so sorry about the cockroach! We have seen an increase in the critters we think because of the construction in and around our plaza that involves updating the drainage systems underneath the city. We are fumigating frequently and are more than willing to hunt down the offending insects for our guests. We will increase our vigilance!
We hope to have you back once all of the work is finished!
Delivered as promised
After much research and suggestions of Tripadvisor users we booked directly.
Mr. Galarza had someone pick us up and drive us to the airport. Service is third party and is worth it. $30 dollars each way. Appreciated him so much we gave him $40.
The blue room was quaint. Layout is funky because you step into the bathroom hall then thhrough another door is the actual room.
Linens were fresh and we arrived at about 6am and it was heavenly. When reserving I had requested a massage. 4pm Cleotil was there. It was great. Don't remember the price.
Trini and Ana (EZM employees) were very nice and would serve up the best breakfast and coffee. Special is $40 pesos includes coffee, toast or quesadillas, eggs and a fresh smoothie. LOVED IT! Always fresh.
I will miss my lattes and cake in the evening. There are also delicious baguettes and salads. Turkey baguette is delicious.
Took a (8 hour) tour of Dolores Hidalgo, Atotonilco and SMA for $20. My only complaint is that the tour ends at Alhondiga not mentioned when booked. Guide was upset that we had questioned him and wanted us to just get back in the van but his attitude was poor and needless to say no tip for him. We walked back.
There is no need for a rental car everything can be reached by foot if not take the bus it's 4 pesos each person. We found everyone to be helpful.
Affordable and rich in culture. This trip blew my mind.
Great Place, Great Location
El Zopilote Mojado is a great place to stay in Guanjuato! The hotel is extremely clean, has a lovely terrace with views of Guanajuato, friendly staff, and big rooms with clean linens. The restaurant downstairs has great food for those weary of tradicional mexican food (sandwiches, salads, bruchetta) and great coffee, not to mention wireless internet access for guests. The owner speaks both English and Spanish. It is located just a short block away from the main plaza, so it is more quiet than the other hotels in the area. The price is just right too!
Not just a vacation but a retreat and a piece of paradise
I have just returned from a glorious 10 days in guanajuato. Through tripadvisor, I found El Zopilote Mojado, a charming, warm and welcoming home away from home. I was traveling alone and needed a vacation and a retreat. I found both at raul and ana's delightful inn? bed and breakfast? It's difficult to describe because they satisfy needs you didn't even anticipate. A good book to read? A patio for early evening drinks and conversation? Views of the city that are glorious at all hours of the day? Delicious food in a charming cafe?
The "inn" (but actually 2 homes with another being renovated) is located next to an irrestible plazuela -- where children play ball at recess and if it comes your way, they'll yell pelote! and it's your turn to kick it back. My "home" was close to the heart of the city which allowed me afternoon naps and longer evenings. I wandered through all of the tiny alleys of the city, people wishing me a buenas tardes as they passed...frequently getting lost, always someone to head me back toward el centro... I've traveled in other mexican cities and loved them, but at El Zopilote Mojado I found comfort, friends and a unique opportunity to experience, for a few days, a Mexican lifestyle in one of it's finest cities.
Lovely little place
We spent 3 nights in Guanajuato in March. We liked this place a lot- very clean, nice size rooms...
Unfortunately, Raul and his wife went on vacation the day after we arrived and the help does not speak English- so we didn't get all the help we would have liked and expected; however, I highly highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Guanajuato
Fantastic place to stay
We just got back from a trip to Guanajuato, and I wanted to recommend El Zopilote Mojado as a fantastic place to stay. The rooms were very nice, and the added bonus of having a terrace with a gorgeous view, a living room, and a kitchen made it an incredible deal. The breakfasts at the Cafe d'Art were only $4, but included a wonderful fruit smoothie, along with the full breakfast. The only thing that I could possibly complain about was the little man that went around yelling "Pan" over and over in the morning. But in retrospect, it added some humor and fun memories to the trip.
Great place to stay
We stayed here 3 nights in November 2005. It was fantastic. Just around the corner from the Jardin. Very comfortable peaceful and tasteful decor with great beds. Nice roof deck with view. The proprietors pay close attention to detail. The food, coffee and tea downstairs are great.
Loved the Zopilote
We stayed for four nights in February and loved this place. Everything was right, the location, the view, the furnishings and the coffee downstairs.
El Zopilote Mojado--The best place to stay in Guanajuato
We just returned from a 5-day visit to Guanajuato, Mexico. We stayed at El Zopilote Mojado,a small charming inn located only a block from the Jardin de la Union, a brief walk through a scenic narrow stair-step alley way. The inn is owned and run by Sr. Raul Galarza,who made sure that everything ran smoothly from the airport shuttle arrangements to the lovely appointed room. There are two suites: one consists of a large bedroom with tons of closet space, a large private bath, and a private sitting room. The other consists of 2 bedrooms (also with great closet space), large bath & sitting room. Be sure to check out the gallery to see details of the rooms available. My husband and I had one suite and my sister the other, so we had the entire upstairs to ourselves. The inn is within walking distance to the museums, churches, and shopping, yet very quiet. A limited menu is available at the cafe, but it includes a large beer and wine selection. Interesting conversation with the proprietor and other guests comes with the territory, so be prepared to enjoy some good coffee, good conversation, and a charming location as you explore the beauty of Guanajuato from El Zopilote Mojado. Highly recommended.

Gruesome sights in Guanajuato
... botched mummification attempts. Unlike the ancient Egyptian version these mummies were less than 150 years old and nowhere near as professional looking. At some point a tax was introduced that relatives had to pay to keep their relatives interred and those whose relatives couldn't pay were dug up and put on display. This ended in 1958 so the mummies are from 1865 - 1958, pretty recent! The whole place was set up like a house of horror ride at a theme ...
Guanajuato, and the road there
... views of the city below. Very relaxing, and we were very happy to be there.
We rescued an abused and neglected mango from the depths of our Styrofoam cooler, and paired it with the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. A deep magenta, this fruit proved to be more appealing to the eye than to the palate. Vaguely fragant, with a texturemof tha of an overripe pear, though not nearly as sweet, it has many seeds ...
A Day with Diego
Due to uncontrollable circumstances (free Lila Downs concert in Zacatecas), we cancelled our stay in Guanajuato in order to go straight to San Miguel de Allende. But that didn't mean we couldn't stop in for a bit. After all, it was on the way there...more or less. Guanajuato is known as a "Magical Village," and was the home of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Though his murals are really impressive, I'm not really a fan of Diego, but Frida is one ...
Day trip to Guanajuato City
... houses over 100 mummies exhumed from the Guanajuato cemetery, right next door. These mummified bodies were exhumed as a result of a law requiring residents to pay a tax for perpetual burial in the late nineteenth century. When the tax was unpaid by survivors, the body was exhumed. (Most of the mummies are from above ground cement crypts. They believe that the dry hot climate preserved the bodies.) The burial tax law was outlawed in 1958.
You cannot believe ...
Doozy of a Week!
... it's just a silly think they do here. Once I got home I ate a little, took a shower, and almost went straight to bed. However, my friend Maria Elena showed up so we chatted for a bit and then I politely kicked her out. I was in bed by 10. :)

Historical Traveler Reviews Azulik Tulum
They are cheap
The first day we arrived at Azulik, we quickly discovered that our door lock did not lock and the outside tub was not drained, and clogged. Rather than going to the beach and taking advantage of our few days there, we had to wait for maintenance men for the entire rest of the day and into the night. We were not about to leave all of our stuff there unlocked. We ordered a bottle of wine to pass the time, and did not even get comped. We were very dissapointed to have paid for that first night as well as it was wasted waiting for them to fix everything as we just sat there. The room was clearly not ready for people to stay in. For a place to be that expensive, everything should be working, and nothing should be a hastle for the customer. Its really too bad, Azulik is beautiful. If they had reimbursed us for that first night, I probably would not have written this at all. But in the end, Azulik just come off as cheap
Beware of Azulik
It is sad to say, but we will never return to Azulik. It is a beautiful spot, but is horribly managed and unsafe. Our room was robbed twice during our stay. When I contacted them to complain, they were very clear that they could take no responsibility for what happened. They offered nothing to compensate us--no free night stay--not even an apology really--just an assurance that they weren't responsible. For such an expensive hotel, you would think they would have better security and a more professional way of dealing with customer complaints. You would also think that they would show more concern for the safety of their patrons. I would warn anyone to think twice about staying at Azulik.
If you are looking for a break away from the all inclusive pink palaces, like the idea of a cabana vacation but don't want to "rough it", and don't want to spend a fortune, Azulik is the place for you. Each of the 15 cabanas are situated on a rock outcrop facing the ocean only a few meters away from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The wonderful ocean breezes allow the cabanas to remain at the perfect temperature, and keep away the bugs. The lack of electricity truly goes unnoticed. In terms of service, we had no complaints, the staff were always extremely friendly and helpful. The cabanas were always kept very clean, and beat any Marriott or Hyatt I have ever stayed at. The bathroom facilities are also excellent, and again, we had no plumbing issues. The water provided in the cabana also means you do not have to continually buy bottled water.The food in the region is the only downside of visiting this area of Mexico. We may have missed all the good places to eat, but the majority of meals left a lot to be desired. We personally had a bad experience at Gringo Daves, the fish was overcooked, and over seasoned, and the prices worse than that of metro Atlanta. We did however have lovely meals at El Parasio (Mexican), Piedra Escondida (Italian), and Zamas (Italian). We ate breakfast in the town at Don Cafeto on the last day, I am still suffering from Montezuma's Revenge...I think it was the huevos or the ice cubes.For beaches, El Parasio has a lovely little beach club, and a beautiful sandy beach with few rocks. You can also take snorkelling trips from there, don't attempt to swim out to the coral reef, we got half way and relaized it wasn't getting any closer so turned around!Before I end this review here are a few tips:Rent a car...it makes life so much easier. Go with a car hire place outside of the airport...it's cheaper. We went with Travel From.com for everything. You don't need a jeep.Whoever suggested taplights...they are a great idea! Bring them, then you at least have instant light.Visit the Hidden Worlds Dive Center and take the inexpensive snorkel tour at the Dos Ojos Cenote...go late in the day and you are more likely to have fewer in your group. It is incredible and only $25 a person.The Temazekal at Copal is a good idea...if you want a very hot experience (and I mean unbearably hot). I personally nearly passed out and would not do it again, but I am glad I participated.The ruins are lovely but not when it is very hot!In short Azulik is truly paradise. We are so glad we went and are planning on returning. We stumbled upon Azulik becasue the All Inclusive where our friends wedding was being held was sold out. Thank goodness, we went there for the wedding and apart from the free drinks, it is pretty awful.
Azulik has potential
I am writing this review a little late as I visited in November. However reading the other comments I felt I needed to express my opinion as well. First, the casitas are beautiful...no doubt about that. The grounds are also beautiful and well kept. However for the price we paid service was definitely lacking!! We had booked the breakfast with the room, as well had ordered 100.00 in the Copal Cash just for convenience sake. On check-in late in the evening no mention was made of either the Cash or the breakfast. I just assumed breakfast would show up in the morning, perhaps on the deck with a knock on the door or something..or someone would come around and ask us. We were very tired when we checked in after a very long day of travelling and the man at reception didn't speak much English (which is fine) so we didn't ask too much. Of course breakfast didn't show up, not did anyone so we walked to reception to get the scoop...We were given some vouchers to use in the restaurant, or we could order the breakfast in the evening and have it delivered. Unfortunately we paid 10.00 each for the breakfast vouchers, but nothing on the menu comes close to 10.00 (for breakfast). I felt ripped off every breakfast. We did have it delivered once but it seemed to be a big bother for the person delivering it. Dishes weren't picked up for hours and hours. Regarding the Copal Cash nobody seemed to know anything about it...after much discussion and a full days wait they agreed that yes I did order the Copal Cash, but oops sorry they didn't have any. We were to just tell the restaurant and have it charged to our room and they would work it all out when they got the cash. Unfortunately explaining this to the restaurant was quite an ordeal and we were made to feel like we were trying to rip them off!! I was unimpressed and these two issues left a bad taste in my mouth. This is not exactly budget accomodation and I do expect significantly more than this in the way of service. Having to pay each time a taxi was ordered for us was a little ridiculous too...especially considering what we were paying per night.
Having said all that I do think this place has potential. We had a very lovely dinner in the restaurant one night and we found the breakfasts to be quite nice as well (despite paying more than the menu price because of the vouchers). We also found the place to have a very serene, calm feel to it and we did enjoy ourselves.
The casitas at Azulik are absolutely gorgeous. You have two large tubs, a king bed, another bed to lounge on and a large deck. The beach is also quite beautiful and private. Unfortunately, the management is severely lacking. Be prepared to deal with all issues on your own (or just forget about them).
I suggest bringing a flashlight for the evenings; the candles only offer so much. I would also recommend foregoing the bed and breakfast package as the food at the Copal (Azulik's sister hotel) isn't very good. There are many other hotel restaurants along the same road with delicious food. Azulik has the potential to be great, it just needs some tweaking.
There are two parts to this review, this is the bad part. The service at Azulik is terrible, they do nothing whatsoever to help you.They had messed up our booking, telling me that they had us booked for 5 nights despite the reservation I had was for 6 plus breakfast. They didn't try to help, it was along these lines.Your problem, you sort it out, we will not help, we won't let you use the phone.So on my honeymoon I had to hike around to find an e-mail place to contact the travel agent....who told me everything was in order.....the problem was at Azulik......I kept asking if the problem was resolved, they said no but would contact me when they knew. two days later I asked if the problem was nearer to being solved...oh yes, yesterday.....I forgot to tell you! Thanks.They didn't offer anything to make up for the worry or the time/money/effort we put in to resolve the problem.The other issue is their internal commmunication...only two women work there but they do not talk to each other, so on monday one will say "we will give you XYZ" the next day you speak to the other lady and hear "i know nothing about this, it isn't true"Will you call the other lady to find out?....no she is on her day off. The word you hear the most is no, this happened almost every day.

It's super cool and probably best discovered by scuba diving, but it was still cool to swim in and marvel at its beauty. Next destination was Casa Cenote. This was more of a local spot with an outdoor cenote (not in a cave) that had been recommended by Joshua. It was really pretty and the colour of ...

We admired the views and the huge iguanas which were everywhere, found a coati, and spent a few minutes enjoying the beach. We'd gone prepared for a swim, but the sea didn't ...

Meandering around Cancun was a bizarre experience. Las Vegas on the beach! You wouldn't know there was a beach from the road as the huge hotels, nightclubs and Americans dominate the area. We stayed in downtown Cancun where most of the locals live. It was charming if shabby. We used our almost non-existent Spanish to order vegetarian quesadillas for a bargain 50p at a local market. We gobbled them up while basking in the evening heat ...

Luckily as we were leaving 4 latecomers joined, 2 Germans and 2 Dutch so we felt a little better. The bus was full with people standing ...

Greenhouse customers picking out their spring bedding plants are paying a bit more, thanks to higher than usual natural gas costs.
Jeff Smith, owner of Jeff's Greenhouse, said nearly every area greenhouse has added some type of surcharge.
The reason is that suppliers have had higher costs than usual and have passed them along to the greenhouses, he said, and shippers had added a fuel surcharge previously when fuel costs rose.
The heating bill for Jeff's Greenhouse over the past 90 days has equaled the bill for a typical year, Smith said.
Not only has cold been a culprit, he said, but frequent cloudy days have meant a lack of sunshine that allows a greenhouse to generate a portion of the heat seedling plants need to flourish.
The charges may be temporary, said Les Howard, owner of Howard's Greenhouse, which has added a 10 percent charge to cover heating costs.
"As soon as we get the summertime weather, we won't run the heaters," Howard said.
That might come as early as May, Howard said.
Greenhouses that sold poinsettias caught a break because the higher natural gas prices hit just as poinsettia season was coming to an end, Howard said. The Christmas favorite requires plenty of warmth to keep the rich red color.
Such charges are not restricted to the Panhandle. In California, hotel chains have tacked on an electricity surcharge rather than turn down the heat or lights.
Marriott International Inc. is charging an extra $2.50 per room at some hotels in California, while Hilton Hotels Corp. is considering similar surcharges.
Marriott has added the charge at hotels that haven't been affected by higher power costs as a way to offset increased costs elsewhere.
Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. began charging an extra $2.50 per room a few weeks ago at hotels in California, Oregon and Washington.
Amarillo motels, though, are not making up their extra costs with a surcharge.
"I haven't heard of anyone doing this," said Carl Haynes, general manager of the Radisson Inn. "We're certainly not doing it."
Phyllis Payne, general manager of the Ambassador Hotel, said it is not considering a surcharge at this time, even though its January natural gas bill was triple that of a year ago.
Such an increase is cyclical, she said, with the price of natural gas driven by higher than usual demand and the supply of natural gas lower than in previous winters.

The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry (CML) announced today that it is receiving $60,000 to be given over the next three years from Publix Super Markets Charities to support the museum's kid-sized Publix Market exhibit. The grocery store exhibit, a favorite of both children and their grown-ups, will continue to focus on its interactive and hands-on approach to educating children on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
This grant connects Publix Super Markets Charities, a corporate giving leader, with issues that are important to families and provides a tangible demonstration of the charity's interest in the lives of Lowcountry families, as well as its strong support of education in our community.
The entire exhibit experience of the Publix Market builds upon CML's successful self-directed, interactive approach to education by offering authentic opportunities to discover the importance of nutrition and the value of making healthy eating choices while shopping in the market made just for CML's small guests. The museum's tiniest visitors improve their matching skills as they shop from a grocery list, develop their sorting and counting skills as they place their items in bags and begin to enrich their vocabulary by learning the names of foods they eat every day. Older children sharpen their math, estimation and organization skills in various parts of the Publix Market. They can weigh fruits, vegetables and deli meats, scan groceries and count money while working the cash register, or plan healthy, nutritious meals by using My Plate to develop an eating plan and organize recipes into grocery lists.
"Publix Charities is proud to partner with the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry to bring this fun and educational exhibit to our youngest customers," said Kelly Williams-Puccio, executive director of Publix Super Markets Charities.
