With two types of potatoes, this side salad packs a Southwestern punch thanks to chipotle chilies.
There isn't a for the flavor of chipotles, so leave them out if you can't find them. You can, though, duplicate their hot kick by adding 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) to the mayonnaise mixture.
Round red or round white potatoes usually take longer to cook than sweet potatoes, so note in our directions that you may have to cook those a little longer.
Chipotles are smoked, dried jalapeños with a wonderful rich, smoky flavor. They are sold dried whole, ground and in cans with spicy adobo sauce.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Fork Report: ASU drops first Pac-12 game at Oregon
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you a fork report, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from ASU's loss to Oregon on January 13. Final score: Oregon 68, Arizona State 65.
The Good
Jahii Carson had one of his most balanced games (20 points, seven rebounds and four assists) in a Sun Devils uniform but it wasn't enough, as Oregon made seven clutch free throws in the last minute to prevail 68-65.
Carson's backcourt mate, Evan Gordon, also had a nice night offensively. The junior guard scored 17 points, including 10 in the first half.
Junior center Jordan Bachynski came in with a Pac-12-leading 4.6 blocks per game. While he didn't match that mark Sunday (3), Bachynski was just as effective at the defensive end against Tony Woods and Waverly Austin. Afraid to go at Bachynski in the paint, the duo settled for shots away from the rim and combined to score 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting.
Carrick Felix found his touch in the second half, but his greatest impact was on the defensive end. The Ducks' senior leader, E.J. Singler (10.5 points per game), was quiet Sunday night, as Felix held him to seven points on 1-of-9 shooting.
The Bad
Jahii Carson may have had the better statistics in the battle of freshmen point guards, but the former Mesa High star did little to stop Dominic Artis in the second half. Offensively, Artis had his way with Carson, specifically on dribble penetration moves to the basket. He finished with 10 points, three assists and two steals.
Carson scored six of ASU's final nine points but was not even targeted in the final seconds, as Carrick Felix was forced to take a desperation game-tying three-point shot at the end of regulation.
The Sun Devils have shown signs of improvement when it comes to holding on to the rock over their last 10 games (11.1 turnovers per game), but Sunday they regressed slightly, committing 12 turnovers.
In a tight game, depth can often make a difference. Herb Sendek only used three reserves against the Ducks and their impact was hardly felt. Chris Colvin, Eric Jacobsen and Ruslan Pateev combined for three points. Luckily, the Ducks' bench unit wasn't much better, scoring just nine points.
He Said It:
"I thought there were some 50/50 plays — balls that could go either way that we just didn't come up with. They had some offensive rebounds that were very timely for them and very untimely for us down the stretch there. I thought that they went up and made some plays and we didn't, and I think that was the difference in the game right there." — ASU associate head coach Dedrique Taylor
• The loss snaps ASU's six-game win streak and knocks them from the ranks of the unbeaten in Pac-12 play.
• Sunday night's contest marked the first time the Sun Devils played in Matthew Knight Arena. Ironically, ASU's last game in Eugene was a win in Oregon's finale at McArthur Court.
• Carrick Felix has scored in double figures in 16 straight games.
• After pulling in a season-high 49 rebounds against Oregon State, ASU was actually out-rebounded by Oregon 36-33.
Up Next
The Sun Devils will host rival UA at Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday, January 19. The game is scheduled to tip-off at 12:30 p.m. and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620.

Returning War Contractors Face Second Battle, Against AIG
In the summer and fall of 2004, 58-year-old William Manning was working east of the Green Zone in Iraq. As a labor foreman, Manning, a marine Vietnam vet, was overseeing and escorting other civilian contractors at a work site near the police academy where Iraqi rookie cops were trained. ~Mine Fields: Injured Iraq/Afghanistan Contractors Fight to Get Compensated for War Wounds
Whatever your role in the U.S. war effort, if you were injured overseas, at least you'd be covered back home, right?
John Nova Lomax – November 14, 2012 – Ever since that June day in 2010 when the roadside bomb detonated ten feet from the cab of his truck on a dusty road in Iraq, Terry Enzweiler has not been the same. He gets lost coming back from the same grocery store he's shopped in hundreds of times; his daughter had to buy him a GPS to help him navigate his own neighborhood. He takes Xanax and Zoloft to combat the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
"The Xanax stops me from jumping through the roof when a pencil falls on the floor," he says.
Even medicated, his blood still curdles when he hears Arabic spoken on TV or drives through one of the Chicago area's Muslim neighborhoods. He wore earplugs for much of the week leading up to and right through the Fourth of July. "Those half-sticks sound just like a .50-cal," he says, referring to a type of heavy machine gun.
The chuck-chuck of helicopter blades terrifies him, as does the sight of his own 25-year-old son. In Iraq, 46-year-old Enzweiler, a recent client of Houston attorney Gary Pitts, saw a dead Iraqi child who looked just like his boy did 13 years ago. "My psychiatrist said it's like a marriage where there's been infidelity," he says in a phone interview. "The wife forgives the husband. Two years later, she sees a blond woman in a blue dress. Two years prior, the other woman looked like that. So in the mind, the two images come together, and for absolutely no reason, you become furious, and your subconscious takes over. It's the same thing now. When I see my son, I think of that kid. I saw some horribly gruesome stuff over there."

Although I think some of us will be in agreement that certain smokers are a scourge on society. ::::coughcoughObomo::coughcough:::
And as I noted earlier, it seems kind of hypocritical to me that the limousine liberals, the supposed champion of the lower socio economic classes and minorities, want to tax smokers. A group mostly made up of minorities and/or lower socioeconomic classes.
Frankly I agree with Gerry Clinchy, I think weed and crack and meth and all those other ghetto drugs should be legalized and tax the hell out of them. Gets rid of the dealers and thug culture that's grown up around them, and provides a steady stream of revenue for addiction treatment. I have no idea how you could do it, but weed would be a good start. To me it's no worse than booze. No man that was stoned ever beat his wife or shot someone over a 40 like drunks do daily. And what an economic stimulus! ROTFLMAO

Yes. I "liked" the above post by OC.
OK, the Mayans are Mexicans, as are the BizLats.
But the BizLats (Nero's guys) are more local than the nomad Mayan bikers.
So when Marx's black people (1-Niners) hit the Mexicans, Nero's BizLats will suffer as the blacks will just shoot any Mexicans, especially with the blacks having the Irish guns.
The Chinese? Hmmm.
OK - so with my thoughts above....
If the Chinese sit down with the Mayans, they could just propose that the Mayans let the BizLats take the fall-out from the blacks' being shot.
I don't see that Alvarez (Mayans) has to do anything the way things lie.
Now Juice knows the truth and he's half-black.
Here's my strategy for Jax trying to make things right with Nero and the BizLats:
Re-establish the truth the (Mexican) Mayans - a rival biker gang to Samcro - shot the blacks. The BizLats (Mexicans) were innocent of that. Put it back on Alvarez and use Juice to get them to listen. Juice owes Jax again and there's no one to protect him (if the 1-Niners would shoot the messenger). So why not send Juice to broker the peace for the BizLats? That'll make things right with Nero.
Jax is in business with Nero and his mom (who he doesn't know killed Tara) is tied to Nero (BizLat O.G.) Samcro has no love for the Mayans and Alvarez really.
So SoA clears the slate for the BizLats and sets the 1-Niners after the Mayans.
Maybe Gemma spills it to Nero, that Juice covered for her in Tara's death.
Then Nero (through with Gemma and business partners with Jax) spills the beans.
Maybe a BizLat connection in rehab gets Wendy after Gemma since everyone learns the truth about how Tara died. Wendy takes out Gemma - the price for getting her son back (theme is SONS of Anarchy) and Jax plans to finish Juice for the death of his wife (since Marx and the 1-Niners probably won't kill Juice.
Of course this is the characters' strategy, but I'm sure Kurt Sutter will write everything going wrong.
Maybe Gemma, furious with Nero, kills her last chance at love, perhaps because she learns Nero conspired to set Wendy against her?
Then the Mayans finish the aging Sons of Anarchy (Charming Original Redwood Chapter)?
Then Gemma still loses everything, and with Wendy in place to get custody, she takes the kids away from Gemma and runs the same way Tara had planned to?
My theory starts to get weak, but it's still possible. Feel free to shoot holes in it.

My dog does not always sit square when I stop her on the whistle when running blinds. Sometimes she cheating to one side and about half the time she does it correctly. How do I correct this?
My dog does not always sit square when I stop her on the whistle when running blinds. Sometimes she cheating to one side and about half the time she does it correctly. How do I correct this?
What i did initially was use the "here" whistle to my advantage (3 blasts) and then sit him after a step or two when he was squared up. Then i transitioned into a "square up whistle" which is two blasts. So, now if we arent square on the initial sit whistle, i give a 2 blast whistle to square him up ( i still follow it by a sit whistle). To be honest, sometime it sounds like there is alot going on when i have the whistle in my mouth at the retrieving line, and am sure there are many better ways out there, but this is what worked for my dog and his amateur trainer.

If I was sitting on a whistle I probably wouldn't be sitting square either...
My problem is that Bear is sitting better now to the hand signals. Ring then field then back again
Try twirling a white bumper when you blow the whistle.

Do you know anyone who has Total Retriever Training by Mike Lardy? He demonstrates how to correct this using bird boy blinds with an older dog.
I couldn't find the thread I was thinking about but did find the following, which has lots of good information:

No retrieve unless you get a square sit. My dog doesn't get a cast if the sit is not square--she will now adjust to a square sit on her own in order to get the cast. It surprised me but is an outcome of having an operant dog but I made that part of my drill when doing the T. Anyway, that's one way to do it. I am sure there are others.

|When you've already given one of the most famous men in the world a $100,000 motorcycle, an $18,500 olive tree, and a family with six children, what else is left? A house atop a waterfall, of course! Angelina Jolie recently bought longtime beau Brad Pitt a waterfall in California as a gift for both Christmas and his 48th birthday. The couple plans to build a home above the waterfall modeled after Fallingwater, the 1939 Pennsylvania house designed by Pitt's favorite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. As a source said to The Daily Mail, "Brad has always wanted to design his own house. He wants to pull all aspects of nature, light, glass and varying levels into the concept." Pitt, who caused a bit of a stir in November when he said he was likely to quit acting in three years, is reportedly going to take time off to build the house.

|When Kelly Rowland accidentally spilled the beans about the sex of Beyoncé's baby, she probably figured she'd better do something big to make up for it, like buying her former Destiny's Child mate a Swarovski crystal-encrusted baby bathtub. Weighing in at more than 3,000 pounds, the little pink tub is valued at $5,200 and is covered in 44,928 imported crystals that interior designer Lori Gardner spends more than two months applying by hand.

Beckham reportedly told his wife about her new Napa Valley winery by handing her a bottle of wine with her name on the label.

|Tom Cruise has always had a peculiar way of expressing his love for his wife, Katie Holmes. There were the oft-publicized outbursts of affection, like the couch-hopping scene he made on Oprah. And then there was the purchase of a $20 million wedding present for Holmes. Cruise reportedly purchased a customized Gulfstream jet for his new wife in the hopes that she would pick up his love of flying. However, according to the U.K. Marie Claire, Holmes ended up using the plane only when Cruise's own jet wasn't available. "It's like a bus, only faster," she told the magazine.

|Although Katy Perry and Russell Brand's marriage has hit the rocks, the two stars' relationship started on an out-of-this-world note. In July 2010, before the pair married, Perry bought her husband-to-be a ticket on the maiden voyage of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo for his 35th birthday. The jets, which are slated to start flying this year, will carry passengers more than 365,000 feet into the air, where they can look down on Earth and experience weightlessness for five minutes. Since the couple's recent divorce announcement, however, it is unclear whether Brand will keep the $200,000 ticket.

|Apart from impaling feet and peeing in outdoor pools, grown-ups apparently also buy each other $200,000 Maseratis—at least, that seemed to be Adam Sandler's philosophy regarding the 2010 comedy "Grown Ups." Sandler, who also co-wrote and produced the film, was so grateful to his costars, Kevin James, David Spade, Chris Rock, and Rob Schneider, that he bought each of them one of the luxury cars. "The movie's like the biggest thing for [Sandler]," Rock said on the "Howard Stern Show." "He appreciates the help." Since the film grossed more than $162 million, it's safe to say Sandler could afford to splurge on his castmates.

Richard Serra first began working with lead in 1968 by 'tearing' successive narrow strips from the edges of a sheet of lead laid on the floor. He made his first lead 'casting' by splashing molten lead into the junction of a floor and a wall, and his first lead 'rolls' by tightly rolling thin lead sheets into long poles. 'I wrote down a list of transitive verbs', Serra said, 'to split, to splash, to spread, to roll, to heap … and applied the infinitives.1 The first work which he made from a conjunction of these processes was Prop. 'The series of lead rolls was made from lead sheets', Serra recalled. 'I realised that I was making one form, the lead roll, and I wanted to combine it with the other form which was the sheet. It occurred to me that the roll could be used as a pole and the sheets could be propped from and off the wall without utilising a joint.2
The first Prop — the prototype of the work in the Australian National Gallery's collection — was made by Serra for his solo exhibition at the Rolf Ricke Gallery in Cologne in October 1968.3 A few months later, in December 1968, Serra made the Canberra Prop for the exhibition 'Nine at Castelli' at the Castelli Warehouse, New York, adopting slightly larger dimensions for the lead sheet and using lead alloyed with a small percentage of antimony to give the lead greater rigidity.4 Serra continued to reconstruct the work and make multiple variations on the theme of the prop for a number of exhibitions in 1969.5 All these pieces explore the effects of propping massive forms together purely by weight and gravitational pull.
The Prop in the Australian National Gallery was made in an edition of six by Serra for Leo Castelli Inc., New York, in 1968. Others from this edition are in the following collections: the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Tremaine Collection, Hartford, Connecticut; Roger Davidson; and Gordon Locksley, Minneapolis.6

I'm bored.
In fact, I'm so bored I spent some time today figuring out which 10-key set you can type the most words out of /usr/dict/words (which should be /usr/share/dict/words according to the FHS but isn't, at least on RH 6.1.) with. (You can type 75 words with "ASDFGHJKL" (qwerty), and 1199 with "AOEUIDHTNS" (dvorak)). The winner is "ADEGILNRST".

As I type this, pics of Zutton are being uploaded and then comes some shots of the Imperial Officer. Where? Why right here on SSG's coverage of the Wizard World convention.
Eeth Koth was the first to go up, and SSG was very pleased to bring you the very first photos of this figure. Armed with a new style of lightsaber design, with a "blast flare" shape from the hilt up, this figure has a pretty different feel than the rest of the Jedi Council figures, it's one of action instead of standing around trying to figure out how to open one's robes.
After that, Queen Amidala's Royal Decoy (that's the black travel dress) had several pics taken of her. Lots of sculpting going into such a dark costume, and the dress looks massive.
From there, we saw pics of the new FX-7 figure, with 19 arms, and some nice details. Also shown was an FX-7 figure plugged into the Deluxe Luke Bacta Tank set, a cool combo!
Up next, the Rebel Fleet Trooper got to be seen, and one shot shows off his removable helmet and the "phantom chin strap" that is left sculpted into the head. While similar to the Death Star Trooper in that respect, this chin strap appears to simply disappear into the middle of his hair. Still, that can't take away from how cool this figure really is, all that articulation really brings this sucker to life.
Zutton, I am told, is NOT a little person, I'm told he's of average height, not tall, not small. Very strange considering how large his head must be then. Pics should be up now.
Even more pics are being added right now, so what do you think of these new figures?

Writing for the editorial board of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (May 31, 2006), Mike King reacted to the recent ruling by a three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals which vacated the decision in Selman v. Cobb County and remanded the case to the trial court for further evidential proceedings.
In a commencement address at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore on May 25, 2006, New York City's mayor Michael R. Bloomberg decried the political manipulation of science to further ideological ends, saying, "Today, we are seeing hundreds of years of scientific discovery being challenged by people who simply disregard facts that don't happen to agree with their agenda ... Some call it pseudoscience, others call it faith-based science, but when you notice where this negligence tends to take place, you might as well call it 'political science.'"
The ruling in the appeal of Selman et al. v. Cobb County School District et al. -- the case in which a federal district court ruled that textbook stickers describing evolution as "a theory, not a fact" violate the First Amendment -- was issued by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 25, 2006. The three-judge panel vacated the district court's judgment and remanded the case for further evidential proceedings.
Featured in the May 25, 2006, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine is George J. Annas's article "Intelligent Judging -- Evolution in the Classroom and the Courtroom." Annas distinguishes three waves of activity seeking "to banish or marginalize the teaching of evolution" in the public schools: attempts to ban the teaching of evolution, attempts to teach "creation science" alongside evolution, and attempts to teach "intelligent design" alongside evolution.
In Minnesota, Senate File 2994 was passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate on May 20, 2006, but without the provision that would have prohibited the state department of education and local school districts from "utilizing a nonscientifically based curriculum, such as intelligent design, to meet the required science academic standards under this section." The Senate approved a version of the omnibus education bill with that pro

Lightly whisk the eggs, cream and a pinch of salt together until all the ingredients are just combined and the mixture has one consistency.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan for a minute or so, then add the butter and let it melt. Don't allow the butter to brown or it will discolour the eggs. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit, without stirring, for 20 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon, lifting and folding it over from the bottom of the pan. Let it sit for another 10 seconds then stir and fold again.
Repeat until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, then remove from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Give a final stir and serve the velvety scramble without delay.
Recipe Tip
Getting the best resultsChef Bill Granger says, always use a non-stick pan with a wooden spoon for best results and easy cleaning. Don't over-stir - think of theseas folded eggs rather than scrambled. The eggs should have the texture of soft curds. It's best not to cook more than three portions in one go as you will overcrowd the pan and the eggs won't cook as well. For larger numbers, cook in two pans rather than one.

Thought I'd make an account to comment on this recipe. As implied by my username, I'm not a particularly good cook, but I found the recipe easy to follow and it came out great. I altered the recipe slightly on a whim after catching a glimpse of my spice rack by adding half a tablespoon of paprika to the mixture before whisking. I will admit, the result would not have won any beauty contests, but it tasted fantastic.

I have found scrambled eggs best done THIS WAY: Have milk (I use 2% or whole) sitting on countertop and some freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Turn heat on under pan - medium. Melt a lump of butter - amount is to your taste but at least a tsp. for 2 eggs -- in microwave or another saucepan, NOT in the egg pan. Have ready on side. Crack eggs into bowl or larger measuring cup. Jab yolks w/fork and lightly mix - don't whip or beat. Yellow should be visible from white. I use a heavy bottom pan - Farberware is preferred, but nonstick is OK too. Spray or pour small amount of your choice of oil, butter or grease, in pan enough to keep eggs from sticking - salt, pepper and parsley or cilantro into the greased frying pan and stir. Putting the herbs and spices into the pan first releases their flavor. I will sometimes use fresh garlic as well. Next quickly pour melted butter into egg mixture, stirring hard with fork and when stirred once or twice, pour egg mixture into pan. Stir the eggs in the pan slowly as they cook, with your fork. As they firm, pour enough milk on top to wet them and leave a small puddle around the eggs - coupla tablespoons at most. Continue to stir until slightly wet and remove from heat. Turn eggs a few more times to get wet dried up, then serve. Best eggs you'll ever have. :) Diana

Geographer to speak on 'Place, Art and Self,' Oct. 8
Posted October 2, 2003; 04:21 p.m.
Eminent geographer Yi-Fu Tuan will present a lecture titled "Place, Art and Self" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, in McCosh 50.
Tuan, who retired from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998, is ranked among the country's most distinguished cultural geographers. He is the author of "Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience," which was published by the University of Minnesota Press in a new edition in 2001, some 20 years after its original publication.
"Space and Place" not only established the discipline of human geography, but it has influenced diverse fields such as theater, literature, anthropology, psychology and theology. In his Princeton address, Tuan will touch on some of the themes of the book: how human beings feel the tug of both place and space, stability and change, and how both are needed for a fully developed sense of self. While places often change rapidly today, works of art do not, providing humans with "surrogate places."
Tuan's talk is designated as the J. Edward Farnum Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series . It will be Webcast live.

Apple Records Q2 Revenue of $39.2B; 35.1M iPhones, 11.8M iPads Sold

Apple continues to put up impressive numbers
Over the past few months, Apple's stock value has been on a wild rollercoaster ride.
crossed the
$500/share threshold
in early February, and passed by
$600/share in March
. The stock peaked at $644/share earlier this month, but has since plummeted back down to around $560/share (at market close today).
During Q1, Apple released its
third generation iPad
, which once again proved to be a sales blockbuster, breaking previous records set by the iPad 2. The company also released a revamped Apple TV during the quarter, but Apple's "hobby" doesn't exactly set enthusiasts' hearts ablaze.
With that in mind, Apple today released its fiscal Q2 earnings report. The company reported revenue of $39.2 billion versus Wall Street estimates of $36.81 billion. Net profit rang in at $11.6 billion while earnings per share (EPS) came in at $12.10 versus a consensus of $10.04.
When it comes to device sales, the Cupertino, California-based company saw iPhone sales of 35.1 million (88 percent year-over year growth) -- during Q1, AT&T and Verizon alone activated
4.3 million and 3.2 million iPhones respectively
. When it comes to the iPad, Apple recorded the sale of 11.8 million units.
Apple's Mac business saw a seven percent year-over-year increase to 4 million units. On the other hand, Apple's once red hot iPod business saw a 15 percent year-over-year decline to 7.7 million units.
"We're thrilled with sales of over 35 million iPhones and almost 12 million iPads in the March quarter," said Apple CEO Tim Cook. "The new iPad is off to a great start, and across the year you're going to see a lot more of the kind of innovation that only Apple can deliver."
AAPL is up over 6 percent in after hours trading to $598.
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Governor Pawlenty's 2005 Higher Education Agenda
Contact: Sandy Connolly, (651) 259-3902
Governor Tim Pawlenty's 2006-2007 budget proposal released January 25 calls for an approximate 8.4 percent increase in funding for higher education over the current biennium. His budget proposal would increase funding for higher education by $212 million and includes targeted investments in higher education designed to bring new resources, focus and accountability to the state's important higher education sector. The Governor has also reintroduced a capital bonding proposal that includes investments in higher education infrastructure.
His plan provides an increase of 11.2 percent for the University of Minnesota (or $1.22 billion) and an 8.5 percent increase for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (or $1.2 billion) for the two-year period beginning July 2005.

2.1: Add and Subtract Decimals
The student council of F.W. Harris Middle School has decided to open a school store. There always seems to be a need for extra money whether it for school dances or for sporting events or to help with field trip costs. The student council has students on it from sixth, seventh and eighth grade and they have decided that this will be the best way to tackle fundraising in an ongoing way.
"What do you think Mr. Janus?" Kelly asked of their teacher advisor at the meeting.
"I think that it is a good idea. There will be some up-front costs involved however. Have you thought of how you are going to handle that?" Mr. Janus asked.
"Yes," Tyler responded. "Each grade has some money in their account. We have each decided to use this money to help purchase supplies for the store."
"Alright kids, it seems to me that you have this under control. Why don't you begin by figuring out the sum of the money that you have so that you know what we have to work with?" Mr. Janus suggested.
"Okay, let's start their, Trevor, how much is in the sixth grade budget?" Kelly asked.
Trevor flipped a few pages in his notebook before responding.
"There is $345.67 in the sixth grade budget."
"Okay, let's write that down. Mallory how about seventh grade?"
"There is $504.89 in seventh grade," Mallory answered.
"Great and I know that there is $489.25 in the eighth grade budget," Kelly responded.
"How much do we have to work with?" Trevor asked. "Let's start by estimating."
This is where you come in. This Concept is about adding sums and figuring out differences of decimals. Trevor's suggestion is a great way to begin tackling the sum, with an estimate. Pay attention and you will learn all about estimating and adding sums with decimals. Then, you will have the chance to solve this problem for yourself.
By this point in your learning of mathematics, you have some experience working with decimals. First, let's think about identifying decimals.
What is a decimal?
A decimal is a number that uses a decimal point and place value to show tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on. The decimal point divides the whole number portion from the fractional portion of the number.
The whole number portion is 35, or 3 tens and 5 ones. The fractional portion is 0.492, or 4 tenths, 9 hundredths, and 2 thousandths. Sometimes there are decimals with both wholes and parts, and sometimes, there are decimals with only parts.
Let's take a look at adding and subtracting decimals.
You can add and subtract decimals by adding according to place value or by rounding the values before adding them.
First, let's take a look at adding according to place value.
We can add decimals like we add whole numbers: by lining up the place values. For decimals, this means lining up the decimal points. This means that we add each place value with its common place value. We don't add hundredths and tens. We add hundredths and hundredths. If you think about this logically, it makes perfect sense. Here is what a problem looks like when it is lined up according to place value.
Now add each place value, remembering to carry when necessary.
The sum is 54.295
Next, we can find a sum by estimating. Remember that when you estimate you will find an approximate answer, but it will not be exact.
One way to estimate is by rounding.
We round each value to the nearest whole number. To determine which whole number to round a number to, we look at the decimal portion of the number. If the decimal part is less than .5, then we round down. If the decimal part is .5 or greater we round up.
Take a look.
Round 4.56 to the nearest whole number.
4.56 rounds up to 5
We can also subtract decimals by using place value or by rounding.
First, we line up the values according to place value so that we can subtract one from the other.
The difference is 46.79.
We can also find the difference by rounding to the nearest whole number. We round each number to the nearest whole number and then we find the difference between the two values.
56.93 rounds up to 57
10.14 rounds down to 10
Our answer is 47.
Notice once again that the answers are close. This lets us know that our work is accurate.
Example A
Round 2.3 to the nearest whole number.
Example B
Example C
Now let's go back to the dilemma from the beginning of the Concept.
The first thing that the students need to do is to find an estimate.
To find an estimate, we round each number to the nearest whole number.
$345.67 rounds to $346
$504.89 rounds to $505
$489.25 round up to $490
Look at your estimate is it close to this one? Why or why not?
Now we can find the actual sum.
Notice that our estimate is reasonable given the actual answer. In fact, our estimate is very close to the actual sum.
- Decimal
- a part of a whole. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent whole quantities. The numbers to the right of the decimal point represent parts.
- Estimate
- to find an approximate answer that is reasonable or makes sense given the problem.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Subtract the following decimals. First estimate the difference, then check your estimate by subtracting to find an accurate answer.
First, we can round 5.678 to 6.
Next, we can round .86 to 1.
Our estimated difference is 5.
Now let's actually subtract them.
This is the actual difference. Our estimate was very close to the exact answer.

for them to defend their domain name which they've legitimately registered ,
especially if they're located outside the U.S.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Fatherhood involves a lot of sacrifice, but not many human fathers can claim the same sort of self-sacrifice as the Gafftopsail Catfish. The male of this Atlantic and Gulf Coast sea catfish takes full responsibility for caring for the marble-like eggs after he has fertilized them. How does he do this, in waters thick with predators? By carrying them in his mouth -- as many as 55 eggs, each one up to an inch in diameter, for a period estimated at six to eight weeks! As if that weren't enough, he then may carry the young around as well, until they double in size from their hatching length of two inches.
This poor old Pops doesn't get to feed himself the entire time he is transporting his offspring, although all those fry right inside his mouth must be quite a temptation. But as soon as the kids are off on their own, he can resume his normal life of gobbling up smaller fishes and other creatures. Until the next batch of eggs comes along, that is. On the bright side, at least he doesn't have to put the kids through college!

That's the way we've always done it!" "It's good enough for our little facility!" When it comes to technology, these are common attitudes among overworked, understaffed aquatics operators.
Though most commercial venues and large public agencies are zooming down the techno-highway, many smaller and mid-sized agencies remain stuck in the slow lane. These professionals know the technology exists to take their aquatics facilities from good to great, but many are hesitant when it comes to really embracing tools such as the Internet and what they can do for productivity, revenue generation and customer service. So there are seasonal and year-round venues everywhere still handling admissions, registrations and security with plastic pin-on badges, photo ID cards and paper ticket guest pass coupon books.
What's keeping these operators treading water?
Techno-savvy Gen-Y'ers likely find the reluctance to "get wired" a bit irrational, but to well-seasoned managers with small staffs and aging computer hardware, adopting the new ways feels like a quantum leap into the future. The change is simply too overwhelming.
But in today's market, many "technophobes" are finding that clinging to old ways is becoming more and more of a hindrance. The generation now joining the work force has grown up with computers, bar-code scanners and surfing the Web — and today's budget-conscious consumers expect the convenience of things such as online registration, charge card payments and instant communication.
Some operators might argue that technology is "too expensive" or "too complicated," but at this stage in the game that's no longer true.
The positive side of arriving late to the table is that technology costs have come down and the aquatics industry now is well-understood by those engineering today's latest marvels.
In fact, by capitalizing on technology, you might even save some money. Operators who embrace what's now available can streamline their jobs and boost patron satisfaction, thereby increasing their bottom lines.
But once you're there, it's vital to keep looking ahead. At many large aquatics venues, front-loaded season passes and electronic wristbands that eliminate the need to carry cash now are commonplace. New technology allowing visitors at large parks to quickly locate lost children, play games with interactive attractions and keep running scores are coming down the pike.
All told, the time has never been better to embrace technology, and all aquatics operators need to dive into the future or risk sinking into the past. Here's a look at what you need to know to bring your facility up to date.
Making sense of software
Where should operators with old systems start? First, realize that technology should be consumed like fine chocolate: a little at a time. Evaluate your needs and start slowly by addressing the most essential.
You might start by considering your overall computer software program. In the past two decades, many software developers have tried to understand the nuances of the aquatics business, and there isn't a recreation director around who hasn't purchased at least one bad program. Only the strongest software has survived, so there's now a better chance of getting it right the first time.
To choose the best program for your operation, look at what works at facilities in similar communities. Fully investigate all the programs that potential providers have to offer. Prioritize the areas that will benefit your facility and phase in each of these programs accordingly.
Be wary of any programs with modules still under construction.
The most critical choices you will likely have to make involve your registration procedures, identification process and the bookkeeping software programs that will need to be integrated. For many, these three items must be the first priority, especially in communities with small support staffs. Before purchasing anything, work with your community's finance officer and auditors to be sure you meet all statutory requirements for handling finances.
Also consider that smaller communities have found success by forming consortiums and sharing services. You could work with software companies and bulk-purchase with neighboring communities to share training, technical and support services. You also might reach out to local colleges and universities to serve as the technical support for the program.
Giving credit
You'll be amazed at the potential increase in early revenue dollars when charge cards are introduced to your registration process — in some cases, more than 50 percent.
Some traditional finance officers may be concerned about handling charges, but the savings in manpower, paper handling and interest on early season earnings should help cover any associated expenses. In addition, adding charge card capability will be a big plus in the public perception of your agency.
To further allay the concerns of finance officers, it's possible to negotiate with your bankers. In the current financial climate, bankers will likely be motivated to work with your team when reminded that all of your agency's money is deposited with them.
If that doesn't work, you should seriously consider increasing memberships or daily admission slightly to cover the fees.
Ending lines
Guests will form an opinion of your service within minutes, and if they're forced to stand in line while your admissions team fumbles with lists, checks IDs and attempts to answer questions, you're already starting off negatively.
With photo identification and bar-code scanning, you can speed transactions, place a true value on membership and season passes, and improve customer service exponentially. In addition, the savings on office personnel and identification cards that can be electronically updated and last for years will certainly help the bottom line.
Portable bar-code scanners allow for working with one admission program in several locations. With portable scanners, season pass holders can enter a second gate while still accessing one registration program. During holidays and high attendance days, this will enable you to open additional gates for fast-track admission. Today's scanners are more affordable and greatly improved over earlier versions, and your members will love you for adopting them.
Going 24/7
With today's shrinking budgets and smaller staffs, online registration programs with 24/7 access have become a saving grace. The latest user-friendly online registration programs can accommodate waiting lists, age and residency restrictions, as well as payment plans. In addition to the obvious advantages, enabling residents to register or purchase tickets online eliminates the need for late office hours or Saturday registrations and reduces last-minute lines.
When it comes to setting up online registration capability, be sure your software provider understands the nuances of your programs and don't let concerns about transition time scare you. Most systems can be set up quickly and because users establish their own data, gone are the days of data entry that were a part of programs past.
Once you have online registration in place, just set the timer to allow enrollment to begin, sit back and watch. It's amazing how many people will be up all night, registering in their pajamas.
Reaching out
Easy access to data on your customer base provides great opportunities for marketing and promotion. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can substantially cut your budget for newspaper ads, fliers and similar marketing approaches. Things such as online newsletters, target marketing, registration reminders and other creative uses of e-mail enable you to easily provide savvy customer service. And by cutting down on paper, you'll be more eco-friendly.
To optimize your use of e-marketing, do not purchase a computer registration program that does not allow for e-commerce. And remember, sending too many e-mail blasts makes you a pest, but the right reminders to the right audience can make you a hero. Pick and choose your e-mail blasts carefully.
Getting wired
Busy families are juggling lots of priorities, and cell phones, BlackBerries and laptops probably are a way of life for many of your patrons. For that reason, providing Wi-Fi access — perhaps in your snack bar or lounge area — will not only make your registration program hum in several locations of your facility, but provide a fabulous, convenient service for your guests. Parents will be able to work while waiting for their children, and guests who usually work at home now can spend time at the community pool and still get some business done.
When going Wi-Fi, remember to provide power outlets for cell phone and computer charging. Market the service to promote membership and paint a picture of an accommodating facility that understands its members. Your staff will appreciate the Wi-Fi access as well, so establish polices for use early.

HTS pretty much sucks these days...
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Yep... tho I did order a few more TLC Wave 2 figures today, before they can pull them all from the site & re-list at $7.99. I was at Culver City's TRU earlier in the week and was surprised how much Wave 2 they had! SCUBA Trooper was the only one in short supply (one, that I could see) but they had a few Gunners & Padmes and TONS of IGs, Kenobis, Quarrens, and Mon Cals.
Noticed today that Burbank Target raised the price on Indiana Jones basic to $8.79. There's quite a few reasons why the Indy line's in the shape it's in (cancelled), but that certainly can't help. Who is going to shell out $8.79 plus tax for one of the 25 T-Shirt Mutts hanging on the pegs? Anyone? Bueller?
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Found some interesting stuff today at Burbank Target. First, I found the new TFA Leader Class Ultra Magnus. I didn't expect to find this figure on the shelves so soon. Then, I noticed they had more of the Target Excl. Marvel Legends Red Hulk wave. I grabbed what seems to be the second variant of that wave: Spiral in lighter blue jumpsuit (plus other paint differences).
I'm not sure if anyone's interested but I found the next wave of Marvel Transformers - Wolverine, repaint of Hulk, Human Torch.
Ugh. I even thought "Should I go to Target today? Why bother, they haven't had anything at all any other day I've gone in the last week..."

A's Catch a Lucky Break With the Weather
Posted on 12 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
The rubber match between the A's and Rangers was wednesday night, but a rain delay in the fourth eventually led to the games postponement. In other words, the A's get a mulligan in an incredibly lucky turn of events. I'd be pretty upset if I was a Rangers fan. I'd be even more upset if I was Rangers first baseman, Mitch Moreland, who hit a grand slam in the game, the first of his career. But if...

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
As the lead singer and principal songwriter for Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas found success with a blend of '70s rock influences, slick hooks, and 1990s post-grunge crunch. The Florida-based band broke through in 1996 with "Push" and never looked back, issuing single after single, scoring hits in various radio formats, and watching their debut LP, Yourself or Someone Like You, go platinum 12 times over in the U.S. Thomas himself won numerous songwriting awards as the scribe of such Matchbox hits (including "Real World," "If You're Gone," "Bent," and "Mad Season"), and he later parlayed that success into a career as a solo artist.
Rob Thomas was born February 14, 1972, on an Army base in Landstuhl, Germany. His parents divorced, and the ex-Army brat spent most of his childhood in South Carolina and Florida. After dropping out of high school at 17, he bounced around the South singing in pickup rock bands before relocating to Orlando in 1993. There, he helped form the band Tabitha's Secret, a precursor to Matchbox Twenty. Although the group enjoyed some regional success, Thomas eventually left the lineup with bassist Brian Yale and drummer Paul Doucette in tow, and the departing musicians formed Matchbox Twenty with guitarists Adam Gaynor and Kyle Cook. The band's multi-platinum debut, Yourself or Someone Like You, established Matchbox Twenty as a superstar act, but Thomas wasn't individually well known.
That all changed when Thomas co-wrote the chart-topping single "Smooth" for the Carlos Santana album Supernatural. "Smooth" was ubiquitous in 1999, and it made Thomas a star. The track took home three Grammys, including the coveted "Song of the Year" award, and Thomas landed on People's "Most Beautiful People" list. Meanwhile, he also married model Marisol Maldonado. Mad Season (2000) and More Than You Think You Are (2002) continued Matchbox Twenty's success, but after years of touring in support of both records, the bandmembers decided they needed a break, and Thomas used the hiatus to write and record his first solo album. When "Lonely No More" debuted in early 2005, its sleek and funky dance-pop sound was closer to Justin Timberlake than Matchbox, and it helped stir up anticipation for the April release of the chart-topping Something to Be. Rob Thomas returned to the Matchbox Twenty fold several years later, but he also maintained work on his solo material, the second batch of which arrived in 2009 under the title cradlesong.

We have had a pretty mild winter over here in the Eastern part of the state. Lately it has been extremes. A week ago this past Wed. we recieved over 17 inches of snow. The weather has warmed up and now it has been raining the last day and a half. There is a lot of snow gone, but now we are in a flood warning and there is water everywhere. Three weeks until the first hunt of the season, actually a little less. The 29th is the first day in the woods. Hopefully we get rid of the majority of this snow by then.
Haven't heard any gobbling yet or any strutting birds. How about anyone else? Usually by now I have seen my first strutter. I figure we get a couple warm sunny days and then they will be out showing off.

- Description
The source of the "Best of the Best" water in the whole country! Yes, The Table Rock reservoir is one of the sources of drinking water for Greenville, SC. This reservoir is located along the Blue Ridge Front surrounded by mountains, protected wilderness area, and state parks. Table Rock state, located south of the Table Rock was built in 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is one of the most popular destination for people from the southeastern United States. There are many trails within the park and the table rock summit trail is about 3.6 miles from the trail head to the summit overlook point. Moderately strenuous trail. One can see Caesars Head overlook, Bald Rock Preserve, Paris Mountain, Glassy Mountain, and many other landmarks from here.
Geologically, this area is dominated by Gneiss (a metamorphic rock). A very long time ago (100's of millions of years), this area used to be in the middle of the ocean as an island arc chain (just like modern day Japan) and collided onto the then North American continent, followed later (about 300 million years ago) by collision of North America with Eurasian/African continents resulting in building of the Appalachian mountains. About 180 million years ago, these continents split and moved apart again resulting in the formation of present day Atlantic Ocean.
So, the the quality of the water we have here has been the result of millions of years of geologic processes!
Thanks to Abhishek Gupta for helping with this project.

Download - Stuart McLean - An Important Message from the Vinyl Cafe
This product is currently sold out.
The 2007 double album from Stuart McLean. Another hilarious two hours of tales from the Vinyl Cafe in a complete digital package.
"The Vinyl Cafe is probably the CBC's, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, most successful weekend show. Its American counterpart would be Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and the funny stories the genial host of the Vinyl Cafe, Stuart McLean, tells are sort of like the News From Lake Wobegon without the politics, religion, and occasional high-horse. As a show, the Vinyl Cafe, when live, is a one-hour set of eclectic music by very different musicians and a story by Stuart McLean about Dave, the owner of a used record store called the Vinyl Cafe, his wife, Morley, their two kids and their neighbors." - The Serious Comedy Site

Delicious seafood skillet dinner ready in 25 minutes! Enjoy tasty shrimp, broccoli and noodles flavored with fish sauce. Perfect if you love Asian cuisine.
Lo Mein means "tossed noodles," and in Chinese cooking, noodles symbolize longevity. This restaurant favorite will be long on enjoyment without tossing your budget to the wind.
Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley or fresh coriander. To keep cilantro fresh up to a week, cut 1/2 inch off the stems and place in a jar of water. Cover tops with a loose-fitting plastic bag, and refrigerate. Fish sauce adds a pleasant salty flavor to this dish, but you can use a tablespoon of soy sauce instead.

Macau's casino operators are jumping today on the back of positive analyst comments on the sector after getting hammered recently on China-related fears.
Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) has gained 2.2% to $22.90, MGM Resorts International (MGM) has climbed 6% to $14.56 and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) has risen 2.2% to $128.35. Even Las Vegas Sands (LVS), which had some bad news, has gained 0.8% to $51.09 after opening lower this morning.
Analysts have been bullish on the Macau casinos this morning. JPMorgan urged investors to buy the pullback in U.S. casino stocks with Macau exposure. Its reason: China's GDP fears are unlikely to impact Macau's growth. Analysts Joseph Greff, Brian Mullan and Jonathan Mohraz write:
Overall, we have found that historically there has not been a strong relationship between Mainland Chinese macro and gaming revenues (other than GDP and VIP revenues, which we think the buy-side well understands). We have found that the correlation between SHIBOR (recent topic) and Macau GGR has been quite weak (see below). We think this is the case because Macau is (still) a developing market (much like LV in the early 1990s).
Nomura's Harry Curtis and team, meanwhile, upgraded MGM resorts to Buy from Neutral after the stock dropped 15% since mid-May. He writes:
Given the recent pullback, we believe that if MGM reports ANY upside to Q2 EBITDA, and if it comments positively about the balance of 2013, the shares should at least recover to the prior high of ~$16. We expect positive commentary about strong leisure bookings this summer, and there are easy comparisons for the next three quarters.
Curtis and team raised their price target to $18.
Las Vegas Sands started the morning weak after it said its CFO Kenneth Kay had left the company. RBC's John Kempf calls it a "distraction." He writes:
