Are you struggling in your homeschool? Maybe you're trying to put the square peg in the round hole...
I have finally come to grips with the fact that we are, indeed, unschoolers. However, I have a passion for forms. I love charts, planning pages and the like, but truth be told, I end up either using them for a while then fizzling out or not using them at all. I have been pondering on whether or not I can truly consider myself to be an "unschooler" if I am using forms and charts and planning pages.
Why not?
Unschooling is not the absence of schooling. It is allowing your child the freedom to learn whatever captures their interest. Bats. Crystals. Snakes. Underwater basket weaving. All of these things have educational merits. You can teach math with bats (Suzy had 5 bats fly into her hair and 3 got stuck. How many bats are in Suzy's hair?), geometry with crystals, and physical education with underwater basket weaving (and snakes, if you find yourself needing to run away from some...). Actually, these things are more caught than taught. My kids prefer to learn by doing rather than by sitting and cranking out worksheets. They learn by seeing, feeling, hearing, moving and asking questions. I love that!
So, how do you keep records while unschooling? What about lesson plans?
Daily Lesson Plan: wake up, live life, learn something along the way
Yet, there does need to be some structure. Children also need discipline...left to their own devices, they are inherently foolish.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. Proverbs 22:15 (NKJV)
Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing.Proverbs 13:1 (The Message)
Intelligent unschooling parents, then, will be watchful for what interests their children and be mindful to guide their studies. Just as guardrails on a road are not meant to restrict our driving fun but to keep us from danger so we can arrive at our destination safely, guidelines and discipline in the homeschool keep our children from their own inherent foolishness and keep them on the road to responsible, intelligent adulthood. And as parents, we need to be responsible...as homeschooling parents, we need to be responsible and accountable.
Our state does not require labor intensive record-keeping. Thank God for that! We are only required to keep an attendance record. However, I do believe it is foolish to not keep any records at all of what your children are learning simply because the state does not require it. Many well-meaning (and some not so well-meaning) but uninformed social service agents would view that as evidence of educational neglect. So, in the event of any questioning about your homeschool and whether you are actually teaching your children, you can alleviate any fears by showing that your children are, indeed, learning at the level in which they are capable.
So, what about those forms and charts and planning pages that I love to love, only to end up hating to use? How can I use them to keep us as disciplined as we need to be and as accountable as I should be?
The trick is to find forms, charts and planning pages that work with our family's style. That satisfy my need for writing things down, without confining me to someone else's idea of proper record keeping. After searching through tons of documents online...some really great forms and planning pages...I've come to realize that the trick, then, is to make my own...which, it just so happens, is one of my favorite hobbies.
And so, I have decided to make all of my own record keeping forms. I'll test-run them over the next few weeks...as learning doesn't end here because the public school system says school is out. It's more relaxed, more fun, but there is still learning going on.
Today, I created my first PDF of a form I think will finally suit my style. It's a Daily Learning Log sheet, with ample space to write in what we did and to check off the subject areas that are covered. I can easily see at a glance if we have balanced learning going on or are neglecting other areas and can adjust accordingly.
Visit my page on Homeschool Launch to download this Daily Learning Log (there is one with subjects already included, and one blank for your own personalization). I plan to incorporate this sheet in my DIY Homeschool Planner for the coming year. You can also find a TON of great forms for just about anything you need for your homeschool and homekeeping there.
Of course, this form may not suit your needs at all. That's ok...just find out what does. Then use it. You'll be a lot less frustrated and be much more successful at making learning fun, exciting and enticing for your children. How else can we raise up life-long learners?

Albion capture Earnshaw in record £3m deal
WEST Bromwich Albion yesterday broke their transfer record for the second time this summer by signing Robert Earnshaw, from Cardiff City, for £3 million and promptly set their sights on strengthening their squad further by bidding to bring Junichi Inamoto, the Japan midfield player, to The Hawthorns.
Earnshaw, the Wales forward, signed a three-year contract as Albion took their spending to £9.4 million since gaining promotion to the Barclays Premiership in May. Gary Megson, the manager, had already set a club record when he paid FC Copenhagen £2.7 million for Martin Albrechtsen. Earnshaw's fee could rise to £3.625 million with various clauses.
Earnshaw will join his new team-mates after Wales's World Cup qualifier in Azerbaijan this weekend, and his Premiership career will begin away to…

UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell had a lot to say about Ronda Rousey and the company she keeps in a recent interview, and not a shred of it was good.
Rothwell (36-10 MMA, 6-4 UFC) lambasted Rousey on Sirius XM Radio's Fight Club program, saying, among other things, if she can't climb back from a second-straight defeat to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 late last month, "she's a loser and she never was a champion."
"What matters is now," Rothwell said. "What's she going to do now? What matters is six months from now if she walks away from the sport and never fights again, she never has to have her name brought up again. If she can't come back from everything she's been through and being put on such a high pedestal and making waves, then she loses two fights and she doesn't come back from that? Well, then she's a loser and she never was a champion."
And he didn't stop there. Rothwell also had a harsh critique of Rousey's boyfriend, fellow UFC heavyweight Travis Browne (18-5-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC), calling him an opportunist who's decided to hitch his wagon to Rousey rather than forge his own career.
"…he's one of those guys that's just a man-whore. He's a phony, and a lot of (expletive) pisses me off with him. Why did you suddenly leave a great camp that made him good and move to a (expletive) gym that's got a lot of guys losing? For me, I think it was a financial thing. He went there and found a sugar mama in his girlfriend. He's just looking to get himself taken care of…"He's got some brains in, like, 'Why should I fight? I'll just get her to pay for everything.' It's a good financial move on his part, but it hasn't done his personal career any good and a lot of people think the guy has regressed and he's not getting any better. He's lost his footwork, he's lost a lot of different things that made him good."
RELATED: Bantamweight contender calls out Amanda Nunes over disrespectful comments on Ronda Rousey
Meanwhile, Rousey's next move is anyone's guess. After her loss to Nunes, she made vague statements to the media about her future that read like they were written by a PR firm. She gave essentially no indication as to whether she plans to retire or get back in the Octagon at some point.

Allen West Quotes About CountryQuotes about: Country
The message for the American youth is that this is a great country and we need to make sure that we pass on a heritage, a lineage and a legacy of American exceptionalism to each and everyone of you so that you can enjoy all the great liberties and freedoms that all the previous generations have had.
But when I look at the fact that today is 1,000 days that we have not had a budget for the United States of America, you know, the House, one of the things we did, we passed a budget last year. But that is still sitting over there at the Senate. And so we have got to get this country back on track.
When you look what is happening in this country with the debt, the deficit, the CBO coming out and saying once again we're going to have a trillion dollar plus deficit in 2012, the fourth straight year, and unemployment may be going back up to 8.9 or maybe nine percent by the end of the year, these are serious situations that are going.
I think the difference the Jimmy Carter presidency and the Obama regime is navet and maliciousness. I think this is purposeful maliciousness. That's why what you're seeing now in this administration. I don't think they care for this country. And I think they're trying to make it into some kind of third-world socialistic cesspool. I think they are willing to get in bed with any dictator or despotic ruler that they see.

Usher Drops 'No Limit' Ft. Young Thug & 'Crash'
The return of Usher has been shaky at best. Since 2014, he's been steadily releasing music – some sticking ('I Don't Mind') and some not (everything else). After touring Europe and North America with The UR Experience Tour, it looks like he's ready to attempt to release his eighth studio album.
Now called 'Flawed', it looks like two singles are being serviced to different formats in order to set up the record. The first called 'No Limit' finds Usher tapping back into his urban roots. After a few failed attempts at a more R&B driven sound, Usher sounds right at home on this rhythmic single.
If 'No Limits' clears Usher for urban radio, pop radio should have no trouble jumping on board with the vulnerable electro 'Crash'. The great thing about Usher is that his sound is very versatile. He can do pop and do urban and kill both…with the right material.
He may have lost his way for a while, but we're happy to hear that things are back on track from one of the greatest R&B artists of our generation! Thoughts on Usher's latest music?

A standard deck of cards (no Jokers)
2 to 6 players
game play
If there are three or more players, each player is dealt five cards. If there are only two players, deal 7 cards to each. The remaining cards are placed in a pile between all the players.
Starting with the player to the left of the dealer, each person takes a turn asking another player if they have a certain rank of card (e.g. "Phoebe, do you have any nines?"). If asked for a rank he has in his hand, a player must hand over all of the cards of that rank. The asker then gets to take another turn. If a player has no cards of the requested rank, he responds, "Go fish." The asker then draws a card from the pile. If he happens to draw the card he was requesting, the asker shows the card to the group as proof and takes another turn.
Players try to form sets of four-of-a-kind. When they do, the four cards are immediately placed on the table face up. Play continues until all books have been made. The player who makes the most books wins.
make it more fun
Instead of stacking the leftover cards in a pile, spread the cards into a make-believe fish pond and act out the fishing part.

Rook I is NexGen's 100%-owned flagship property which hosts the land-based, basement hosted and high-grade Arrow deposit comprised of a series of 5 sub-vertical mineralized shear zones - A1 to A5 - which vary in thicknesses between 4 and 25 m. The mineralized area is currently defined as 280 m wide by 875 m in strike with mineralization starting at 110 m from surface and extending to 980 m. The 100%-owned Arrow deposit has an Indicated mineral resource estimate of 179.5Mlbs U3O8 contained within 1.18Mt grading 6.88% U3O8 including a high-grade core of 164.9Mlbs U3O8 contained within 0.40Mt grading 18.84% U3O8 and an Inferred mineral resource estimate of 122.1Mlbs U3O8 contained within 4.25Mt grading 1.30% U3O8 (see the Company's technical disclosure statement: http://www.nexgenenergy.ca/corporate/corporate-governance/). Arrow remains open in most directions and at depth. The Rook I property also hosts the Harpoon, Bow and Cannon discoveries which are located 4.7 km, 3.7 km and 1.3 km northeast into the Athabasca Basin from Arrow, respectively.
PEA Highlights
On July 31, 2017 NexGen released its independent maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the basement-hosted Arrow Deposit. The maiden PEA was completed by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. ("RPA"), and is based on the mineral resource estimate announced by the Company in March 2017 (with an effective date of December 20, 2016). The PEA does not include the results of the Company's 2017 winter drill program or the recently commenced summer drill program.

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that PEA results will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Arrow Annual Production and Grade Profile
Arrow Undiscounted Cumulative After-Tax Cash Flow
Production Summary
The PEA envisions a production profile supported by conventional long-hole stope mining averaging 1,442 tonnes per day at an average head grade of 1.73% U3O8 over the life of mine. It is envisaged that mine production will be fed into a conventional uranium processing plant where uranium recovery is projected to be 96.0% over the life of mine.
It is envisaged that cemented paste fill tailings will be used, where tailings are constituted into a paste, mixed with approximately 5% cement and delivered back underground. The cemented paste fill tailings will be used to backfill stopes and the excess will be placed in a, purpose built, Underground Tailings Storage Facility. Among many other benefits, this tailings management process is expected to significantly reduce the surface footprint of the project.

- CIM Definition Standards were followed for Mineral Resources.
- Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25% U3O8 based on a long-term price of US$65 per lb U3O8 and estimated costs.
- A minimum mining width of 1.0 m was used
- Numbers may not add due to rounding.
NexGen successfully published an updated Indicated and Inferred mineral resource estimate based on drilling to the end of the summer 2016 program which included only 200 drill holes. Utilizing a unique drilling methodology comprising 95% angled drill holes allowed NexGen to pierce 2-3 shears with each hole given the fact the deposit is comprised of parallel stacked and sub-vertical shear zones. This enabled the Company to define the Arrow deposit efficiently both in terms of time and cost. The Company is well-funded with approximately C$200 million in the treasury.
Importantly, the Company is dedicated to putting the most dollars into the exploration efforts compared to G&A spending. In 2016, the ratio of dollars-in-the-ground to corporate G&A was >12:1.
Current Plan View of Arrow Zone
A2 High Grade Domain
Additionally, NexGen has successfully identified an A2 High Grade Domain which is characterized by substantial accumulations of dense semi-massive and massive pitchblende and carries across a strike length of over 300 m. As of the updated mineral resource estimate which included drilling only until the end of 2016 drilling accounted for an Indicated mineral resource of 164.9 Mlbs U3O8 (0.40 Mt at 18.84% U3O8). This high-grade core of Arrow represents a top tier mineral asset in its own right and makes up only part of the global resource estimate.
2017 Summer Drill Program
The recently commenced summer program will consist of a minimum of 25,000 m of diamond drilling, utilizing seven drill rigs. Six rigs are drilling expansion and delineation targets at the Arrow Deposit. The seventh rig is testing a newly identified area 300 m southeast of Arrow.
The company recently made the discovery of the South Arrow Discovery, approximately 400 m south of Arrow on a separate conductor to that which hosts Arrow. Discovery hole AR-17-151c1 intersected 7.0 m of total composite mineralization including 0.45 m of off-scale radioactivity (>10,000 to >61,000 cps) marked by narrow massive pitchblende veining.
Historical Drill Programs
2017 Winter
The Company recently completed an expanded 35,000 m winter 2017 drill campaign which focused on expansion as well as infill drilling the Arrow Deposit. Of the 7 total rigs utilized in this program, 5 used directional drilling and targeted the Arrow Deposit. An additional two rigs focused on identifying new zones of mineralization, both laterally and along strike from Arrow.
The Company completed a 2016 summer drill program of 37,000 m in 53 drill holes, focused on continued infill and expansion drilling at Arrow Deposit, with metallurgical, baseline monitoring studies conducted.
Complied all drilling for updated resource of Indicated mineral resource estimate of 179.5Mlbs U3O8 contained within 1.18Mt grading 6.88% U3O8 including a high-grade core of 164.9Mlbs U3O8 contained within 0.40Mt grading 18.84% U3O8 and an Inferred mineral resource estimate of 122.1Mlbs U3O8 contained within 4.25Mt grading 1.30% U3O8.
The Company completed their largest program to date consisting of 36,000 m in 69 drill holes, expanding the Arrow Deposit by 180 m to the South-West. The most intense mineralization to date encountered in the A2 & A3 High Grade shears.
Completed a successful and expanded summer 2015, 5 rig, 33,000 m campaign which exceeded the goals the Company set out prior to the start of the program. The goals were to further define the extents of Arrow by systematically testing the zone including the A2 and A3 high-grade zones.
NexGen aggressively tested the extents of Arrow by drilling and hitting on 3 step-outs in increments of 50, 100 and 210 m to the southwest of AR-15-44b. Due to the fact all of the holes hit mineralization, the decision was made to expand the program in order to infill the space between -44b and the 210 m southwest extension. Not only was the company successfully in doing that, but in doing so NexGen discovered the higher grade A2 sub-zone which is now defined as a sub-horizontal sub-zone of the A2 high-grade shear that is characterized by substantial massive to semi-massive pitchblende mineralization and very high-grades of uranium. Complied all data for maiden resource estimate of Inferred Mineral
Resource of 201.9 M lbs of U3O8 contained in 3.48 M tonnes of mineralization grading 2.63% U3O8.
A fully-funded 18,000 m 2015 winter program was initiated in early January (expanded to over 21,000 m) and exceeded the Company's expectations. The winter 2015 program was successful in extending the area of known mineralization at the A2 shear zone by an additional 88 m to the southwest (from AR-14-30).
The Company discovered the new mineralized A3 shear which appears to be even larger than the A2 shear. Mineralization intersected in the A2 and A3 shears show true widths of these high-grade mineralized zone of approximately 11.0 - 48.3 m and 30.0 - 78.6 m, respectively (see news release dated March 23, 2015).
The summer 2014 program totaled 18,885.8 m in 33 drill holes on the Rook I property (24 drill holes at the Arrow discovery, and 9 drill holes regionally on Rook I). Shortly after the company released the initial assay results from drill hole AR-14-15, they drilled the first ever vertical hole at the Arrow zone in AR-14-30 which returned one of the best drill holes ever drilled in the Athabasca Basin history (909 on a total composite "GT" - grade x thickness metric).
NexGen initially drilled their flagship Rook I project in August 2013 with a 3,000 m drill campaign which resulted in eleven of twelve holes confirming the presence of strong clay and hematite alteration. This first pass program was exploratory in nature with no hole being drilled closer than 200 m.
NexGen followed up the successful summer 2013 drill campaign with an expanded 6,000 m winter program in January 2014. The company discovered high-grade uranium at the on land Arrow target with the first drill hole, AR-14-1 (twenty-first hole ever drilled by NexGen at Rook I property). It encountered multiple structural zones containing uranium mineralization. At the time of drilling this discovery hole at the Arrow zone, no other holes existed within a 4 km radius.

Jeff Dudan's accounting professor at Appalachian State used to regularly give him a hard time about being a football player.
"When he would talk about the Securities and Exchange Commission, he would call it the SEC and then stop and say, 'Jeff, that's not the Southeastern Conference.'"
But Dudan quickly turned the tables on that comedy routine by scoring a 92 on his first test in the class. More importantly, he had an epiphany.
"I was a poor student through high school and college," Dudan said. "He brought me up there and said, 'You know, you've got one of the higher grades in the class.' That was really one of the first times I thought, 'You know what? I might not be a complete idiot after all.'"
No kidding.
Twenty-seven years later, Dudan has a marketing degree he earned with a 3.5 GPA and is the founder and CEO of AdvantaClean, a light environmental services company with 222 locations in 31 states. And on January 11 at 8 p.m. ET, he will be featured on an episode of the CBS show "Undercover Boss."
"It was the experience of a lifetime," Dudan said of being on the show. "While I thought I would find what I expected, you can't help but be put back into the days when you were in the truck, in the driveway and under the house. It really did provide a meaningful connection back with our franchise system, our franchise owners and the realities of what they face every day. Moreover, I was extremely motivated and very encouraged by how our franchise owners and their employees were really living our values out there."
Dudan's disguise for the reality show led to some situational comedy, including his fake beard inside a respiration suit.
"Some of that is going to have to wait for the episode to air," Dudan said, "but they did their best to disguise somebody that has relatively unique features. I'm not a small guy; I'm relatively easy to pick out."
Dudan, who is also a passionate youth sports coach who has authored a book on the subject, had never played organized football until Schamburg (Ill.) High School got a new football coach prior to his junior year. The new coach asked Dudan to try out for wide receiver. He caught 87 passes in two seasons, helping the Saxons make a deep playoff run his senior year.
From there, he walked on at the University of Northern Iowa, and then played for two years at Harper College — a community college in Illinois that no longer has a football program. After being recruited by Head Coach Sparky Woods, Dudan earned a scholarship to Appalachian State in Boone, N.C.
"It's a beautiful town and great people in the south," Dudan said. "For me, coming from Chicago, it was like a little slice of heaven on earth. It took the town a little while to adjust to me."
In addition to getting his act together in the classroom, Dudan also really came into his own on the field. Woods left to become the head coach at South Carolina, clearing the way for legendary Mountaineer coach Jerry Moore. His junior season under Moore, Dudan caught 14 passes for 147 yards and four touchdowns and earned All-Southern Conference honors to help Appy State to a 9-3 record and a playoff berth.
And that's not all. Dudan also met his future wife and started his first successful business — a painting venture with his roommate. By the summer of their senior year, they were painting the majority of student housing in Boone. Dudan's offensive coordinator even got in on the action as a painter one summer.
Dudan's younger brother Mike and his roommate's younger brother took over the business after graduation. By the way, Mike has done OK for himself, too; he's the CFO of the Carolina Panthers.
A buddy called Dudan to see if he would come down to South Florida and help clean up after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 before Dudan had even landed a post-graduation job interview. That foundation led to the formation of the company that would end up becoming AdvantaClean two years later.
"When I started the business with the guys, I had told them I was doing this to become a national brand and do something big," Dudan said. "Honestly, they nodded their heads in agreement, but I don't think they really were committed to it. Everything that I've done very intentionally since we started this business was to try to grow it. Has it taken a lot longer than I thought it would have? Absolutely. Has it been a lot harder work and more obstacles than I could have ever imagined? Absolutely. But have I ever thought for one minute about giving up the goal or the dream? Absolutely not."
Dudan ended up buying his other three partners out. And he still applies some of the lessons he learned on the football field to run his business, including the ability to find a way to finish strong and get the job done, no matter what.
"Football is a loud, fast, frightening game," Dudan said. "When I coach kids and first-year players, it takes them a certain amount of time to acclimate to that environment. One of the things you learn as a football player is how to deal with fear and the adrenaline. Being a business owner, there are constant challenges and constant threats out there. More than anything else, I think playing football gives you that perseverance and that courage and the ability to say, 'You know what? This isn't going to kill me. It's not going to be fatal. I just need to push on through.'"
Another aspect of football that plays a big role in Dudan's professional life is the sense of community, which is the first core value listed by his company. AdvantaClean signed a national strategic partnership with St. Jude's Children's Hospital to help families in need in January.
"So many football programs have a community aspect to them," Dudan said. "Through my experience with football was probably the first time that whole concept of servant leadership, a servant's heart and giving back to the community. We've really incorporated that into our business."

Date of publication: June 8, 1997
Car: Mazda 121 Metro
Pigeonhole: Pre-shrunk multi-purpose vehicle.
Philosophy: A proven small car with high-rise development.
Who's buying it: Women of all ages and retirees.
Why you'd buy it: Roomier, more versatile than other mini-cars for not much more money.
Why you wouldn't: Looks like a box on wheels.
Standard equipment: Not bad, even in cheaper 1.3-litre model. Power steering and driver's airbag standard. The 1.5 gets tilt steering column, height adjustable seat, cargo bay cover, body side protector mouldings and full wheel covers. Silly omission from both models is internal adjustment for side mirrors.
Safety: Driver's airbag standard. Good front belt design with seat-mounted clasps to ensure correct fit.
Cabin: High roof makes space for tall, roomy seating front and rear. Rear seat is on runners. Backrest is a 50/50 split folder. Cushion also flips up to help create a big, flat-floored area but it's a fiddly operation. Dash is plain but well-designed. Glovebox is large and there are three cupholders.
Seating: Front pews are bigger than usual in a small car and have more shape and support than average. Driver's seat in 1.5 model has height adjustable cushion. Rear seat slides back and forth and backrest angle can also be adjusted. Extra comfortable for two large adults in rearmost position. Miles better than a conventional mini.
Engine: The 1.5-litre is a beauty, with perky, responsive performance and not too much racket. The 1.3 is a similar design but output of 53kW is nine fewer than the 1.5 which makes it not as relaxing to drive. Servicing will be more expensive too because manual valve adjustment required.
Transmission: Manual five-speeder is easy-to-use. There are two autos: an electronic four-speeder in the 1.5 and an old-tech hydraulic three-speed in the 1.3, which isn't great. This combination is a struggler in hilly Sydney.
Steering: Power plumbed, light, direct and with plenty of road feel, too. Response to steering is quick. Turning circle a tight 9.4 metres.
Ride: Suspension is firm but not uncomfortable. Rough road jiggle is the only real shortcoming.
Handling: Can't think of a conventional mini-car that handles better. Tyres not very good on wet roads however.
Fuel: Don't expect 1.3 to be much more economical than 1.5. City driving should usually fall in the 8.0-9.0 litres/100km bracket for manual models. Country cruising rate will go to 7.5 litre/100km.
Brakes: The usual mix of discs at the front and drums at the rear, but well up to the job of slowing down something that weighs less than a tonne.
Build: A quality piece or work. Interior neat, well screwed together, materials seem more likely to last than some cheaper non-Japanese imports. Paint a definite cut above the usual mini-car standard.
Warranty: Three years/80,000km. Should be 100,000km.
Anti-theft: Tough to crack ignition lock is about it. Optional security system combines alarm and immobiliser.
Audio system: Nothing special. Four speaker radio-cassette with digital clock display. Average radio reception. Minimal illumination makes it difficult to use at night.
Cost: Drive-away price of the manual 1.3-litre recently reduced to $16,990. The 1.5 is the better package and is selling more strongly despite a price tag of $18,350 plus on-road costs. Most dealers will knock $1,000 off this.
Verdict: Amazingly practical, very well-built and a fun driving experience, despite the ungainly looks. Smart buyers realise the Metro delivers as much, or more, room than many cars in the next class up with very little less performance (in 1.5 form). While not quite as wide as the 1.6 to 1.8-litre hatchback-class average, a Metro 1.3 is about $3,000 cheaper. Just the thing for rational, practical people on a budget. Assuming, of course, they don't mind being seen in such a style-free zone ...

Call it Color Psychology or whatever you will, but color has a direct influence on our physiology, behavior and ability to lead a nourished life.
I love when the ancient science of Feng Shui is confirmed by modern research. Nailed it! Color and design and the influence it has on our lives — and what do do about it — is the subject of my upcoming book. (Email me to be notified of it's release date.)
A Travelodge UK survey of 2000 British about their sleep and the color of their bedrooms.
The results show precisely what Feng Shui has been saying for a couple thousand years: in particular, that those with blue bedrooms sleep the most, an average of 7 hours and 52 minutes a night and those with caramel colored bedrooms are having more sex, on average three times per week.
Blue is a wavelength that, as Chris Idzikowski, Sleep Expert from the Edinburgh Sleep Centre comments: "This is an amazing result, as there are specialised receptors called ganglion cells in the retina part of our eyes, which are most sensitive to the colour blue. These receptors feed information into an area deep in our brain that controls 24 hour rhythms, and affects how we perform and feel during the day. That interaction between light, sleep and wakefulness is supremely important."
According to Feng Shui, light blue and light green are colors that inspire independence, in a spa-like fashion, with the focus on self and healing. Flesh tones are colors that inspire nourishment, connection and warmth. It's been that way for thousands of years not because anyone "said so" but because it's our body's natural physiological response. Look past the cultural markers and instead on Light's influence on our body and it's responses. It's fascinating!
Other color findings:
- Purple is the worst for sleep — those in purple bedrooms get an average of 5 hrs. 56 minutes a night.
- Silver is calming, like moonlight, but those in silver bedrooms are more motivated to exercise in their bedroom. (eyebrow raise, no comment)
- As to Grey, the study reports: "…people in gray rooms get an average of only six hours and 12 minutes of sleep per night and spend at least 3 nights per week buying online. [Feng Shui: grey is about commerce.] Mitchell reports that brown and grey can be "dreary and depressing, especially in the bedroom, and make occupants feel emotionally isolated and uncomfortable — resulting in a restless sleep," the study says." Feng Shui has been saying for thousands of years that grey is about commerce and community, duty and honor. Brown is subordinate and subservient, but grounding.
- Brown: "…Those with a brown, cream or white bedroom are most likely workaholics who take their work to bed with them at least three times per week. Shop workers are most likely to have these colors in their bedrooms." Feng Shui says: Nailed it again!
- Orange, a social color, "will relax muscles and increase digestion" yes! But according to Feng Shui, orange increases your desire for socialization and will tend to create excitement, not the best for sleep…but maybe you don't want sleep?
- Yellow — I find the report interesting and curious: "Certain shades of yellow come in second in promoting the best night's sleep: seven hours and 40 minutes on average per night. Warm yellow relaxes the body by stimulating the nervous system and calming the nerves." Sounds odd. Yellow is happy color, does stimulate the nervous system…I would say, it depends on how bright and how much…to much or too bright can create over thinking and digestive issues, it's recommended against for children's rooms as it has been shown to create a colicky response in babies…the digestion issue.
- Green is reported as being #3 on the sleep scale. Green, in Feng Shui, is like blue, inspiring independence and green is very healing.
- Red according to the survey, "…Not much magic apparently happens in red bedrooms, where couples make love once a week on average." Red is a color that, like orange, needs to be used with "caution" because of it's ability to stimulate and in large amounts increase hypertension and that's not good for sleep or sex.
Color is that amazing!
But before you head out to paint the bedroom beige (or blue) understand that HOW you use the color is also very important.
Even though the color is conducive to sleep (and according to the study less sex) this particular bedroom, featured on Houzz.com, is not only blue, inspiring sleep/not sex, but has other design elements that would over time influence even more distance between the people sharing it.
Feng Shui with no judgement, no good, no bad, asks: "is this what you want?" It might be, Feng Shui and you are that powerful. Need some personal space? This is a good bedroom for that even beyond the color. Want more intimacy, make some changes!
Some Easy Design Notes from Feng Shui
When YOU look at this image, notice "feel." Just a moment, take the time. Check in for two seconds.
There is a LOT going on in this room which our bodies interpret as an excuse for distance perhaps leading to a break up. The design of this room is very "cool" with very little snuggle factor.
Notice all the stripes: our bodies would read those stripes as drawing boundaries. Look at the picture as a collection of colors that create motion. Stripes, stripes, stripes.
Yes the soft blue would inspire independence and therefore sleep, but the white ceiling and trim "activate" and energize–more conflict. The hardwood floors, although beautiful are not mitigated by softness as you would get into and out of bed–hardness and perhaps coldness.
Love Blue But Want More Connection?
If you LOVE blue and want more connection here are some ideas:
Solution: add softness to the room, reduce the conflict of the white and paint the trim and ceiling a soft blue. Replace the striped rug which is directing attention out the windows. You'll be surprised.
Land your eye on the bed: Create focused attention on the bed, not so much on the navy panels on the windows. Further focus the attention on the bed with luxurious linens.
Diminish separation: At the bottom and top of the bed, notice the separation of windows and the separation of the ottomans. Solution: Replace the stools one, signalling to our body one relationship rather than two people, and add sheers over the window to draw a consistent picture, then hang the navy panels on either side creating one long window instead of two.
Bed in Safety/Power Position: The bed being placed under the window would also add a layer of stress that our bodies feel but our minds may override. Solution: place the bed on another wall but if you cannot, use the sheers and panels solution described above.
Yes, of course, I see the ceiling fan: That's another post.
Do you want everything in your life to be easier?
Thousands of years of wonderful information rests in the science of Feng Shui. Stick around!

Inquiry into sinking of Trident 35 years ago begins with families' call for truth
An inquiry into one of Scotland's worst fishing tragedies, which killed seven men 35 years ago, began yesterday.
The inquiry into the sinking of the Trident off Caithness follows a multimillion-pound investigation and is expected to take two weeks. The families of the men claim that an initial inquiry in 1975, which found that the boat sank after being hit by a big wave, was a cover-up. They believe the boat was unstable.
Yesterday, Ailsa Wilson, QC for the Advocate General, told the hearing in Aberdeen that the inquiry would establish why the Trident sank, whether or not the vessel was seaworthy and if anyone could be blamed for the disaster.
Ms Wilson told the hearing: "The public expense of this inquiry is not about…

It's an ABBAWORLD; We Just Live in It By Dave Sikula
Wed, January 27, 2010, 12:01 am PST
We note with horror that ABBAWORLD is opening in London today. Described by its over-excitable backers (who apparently never met a capital letter they didn't like) as a "unique touring exhibition filled with music, original costumes, history, images, instruments and never-before-displayed memorabilia from ABBA's recording and performing heyday" that will "bring fans closer than ever before to the band by using state of the art technology." Ooh. Hold us back.
Sing along with this picture
and save yourself a trip to London
Too thrifty to hire guides for this museum of mediocrity, the proprietors have somehow persuaded Swedish actor Stellan Skarsg��rd to provide an audio tour that will guide fans through the band's decade-long reign of terror. Besides memorabilia (the helicopter from one of their album covers! A re-creation of a recording studio that closed in 2004!) the exhibit will offer fanatics the chance to actually sing along with a holographic reproduction of the quartet. Just imagine: "Avatar" crossed with karaoke! Why, it's enough to make even the most jaded cynic chortle in snarky glee.
Of course, we mustn't put all the blame on these entrepreneurs; after all, as H.L. Mencken almost said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the public." There's plenty of blame to go around -- beginning with Bj��rn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, whose ability to create catchy hooks and inane lyrics proved irresistible to millions (much like the flu epidemic of 1919, but we digress...).
In 1974, ABBA entered and won the "prestigious" Eurovision contest (which has, of course, given us such musical giants as Vicky Leandros, Bucks Fizz, and -- perhaps worst of all -- Celine Dion). Their victory proved commercially successful, as they sold hundreds of millions of copies of their eight albums to unsuspecting consumers around the world, and inspired an inexplicably long-running musical that ripped off a British movie comedy of the '60s while assaulting audiences with their tunes. The stage show was turned into a movie in 2008 that gave audiences the chance to hear Pierce Brosnan join such movie greats as Peter O'Toole and Clint Eastwood in the "what the hell were they thinking by doing a musical?" department. On the other hand, those ABBA songs would be tough to ruin. (Take that as you will....)
In spite of their musical blandness, ABBA is due to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Of course, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, and The Cure aren't in the Hall yet, but hey, no one ever said life was fair. But, as long as there's not a "Kenny G Experience!" museum or a "Michael Bolton-o-Rama" (yet) we should consider ourselves lucky that, so far, there's only ABBAWORLD.
So far.

Saint Bix of Davenport - The Spark of Yahoo!

Saint Bix of Davenport By Dave Sikula
Wed, March 10, 2010, 12:01 am PST
On March 10, 1903, Bismark and Agatha Beiderbecke welcomed a baby boy, Leon Bismark, into their home in Davenport, Iowa. As the boy grew, he soon became known as "Bix."
The 21-year-old Bix, on
the verge of everything:
good and bad
In those years, every home had a Victrola stocked with every kind of music: opera, popular, country, and, beginning in 1917, a new musical genre called "jazz." It was this jazz, particularly the records by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, that young Bix loved -- even teaching himself to play the cornet. Davenport being a river town, Bix supplemented his musical education by listening to the bands working on the riverboats that traveled the Mississippi. He may or may not have met Louis Armstrong in those days: Armstrong claimed the two men met then, but some scholars disagree.
Bix's love affair with music was permanent. He formed a band in high school, and when it began to interfere with his studies, his parents moved him to a boarding school near Chicago. It proved to be a mistake: he spent more nights in Chicago speakeasies than in his dorm, and was expelled.
Bix soon joined the Wolverine Orchestra, playing cornet by night and taking piano lessons by day, specializing in the impressionistic music of composer Eastwood Lane, whose work would inform both Beiderbecke's playing and composing. In 1924, Bix and the Wolverines made a recording of "Jazz Me Blues" that proved electrifying. Nothing like Beiderbecke's cornet had ever been heard before -- not even from the pioneering Armstrong.
Beiderbecke spent the next few years shuttling between Jean Goldkette's band and freelancing, turning out such classic sides as "Singin' the Blues," "I'm Coming, Virginia," and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans." Goldkette's band went bust in 1927, though, and its best players were quickly gobbled up by Paul Whiteman, the "King of Jazz," for his own orchestra.
Bix completed his musical education in the Whiteman band. Whiteman demanded a high level of musicianship, and while Beiderbecke sometimes struggled to keep up with the complicated arrangements (he was a mediocre sight-reader), it was in his solos that he shined, literally stopping audiences from dancing as they listened to him play.
Unfortunately, such a success story has a tragic ending. Bix was a chronic alcoholic, whose drinking frequently got out of hand: His 1929 stint in rehab kept him from appearing with the rest of the band in the film "King of Jazz," a loss that haunts jazz fans (his only appearance on film is a brief snippet where he can barely be seen). His drinking may have been exacerbated by his parents' disinterest in his career. On one occasion, he returned home to Davenport to find that all the records he had sent to his parents were carefully stacked in a closet -- all unopened.
His drinking continued to get out of hand, to the point where even the supportive Whiteman had to fire him, and he died of either pneumonia or, more likely, delirium tremens, in 1931, at the age of 28.
In the decades since, Bix's life has grown into legend. His boyhood home is on the National Register of Historic Places, numerous jazz festivals are dedicated to his music (including the big annual one in Davenport), and his recordings are collected and re-collected -- including records on which it's not even certain he appeared. His premature death and prodigious talent make jazz fans long for what might have been, and made him jazz's first martyr.

Our home is located on the 'quiet side' of Mount Desert Island, surrounded by Acadia National Park. It is the childhood home of our girls and the vacation home of my Ohio family, and has proven to be the perfect place for extended family gatherings. The large family room is set back from the road and affords ample space for family fun or a quiet place to cozy up by the fire. Our album collection is available to listen to and for the musically inclined, a piano, organ and conga drum. We love games, so we provide many board games and puzzles for your recreational pleasure as well as a large screen television, pool and foosball tables, and Wi-Fi.
The kitchen is fully equipped and has a butcher block counter for ease of meal preparation. The dining room is spacious and has a wonderful view of the harbor. Off of the dining room is a mother-in-law suite, which includes a bedroom with a king-sized bed, bathroom, and kitchenette. Three bedrooms are on the second floor, two of which have ocean views and queen sized beds. The third has two twin beds and looks out to the backyard.. The sunroom located upstairs also overlooks the harbor, and has a daybed with a spare twin mattress tucked underneath.
We are within walking distance to town where you can find a generous selection of restaurants and shops. There is also an oceanarium, bird carving museum and all the amenities a year-round village has to offer. Across the street and down the hill, you will find the Great Harbor Marina, formerly Stinson's Cannery. There are many hiking trails within a ten minute drive as well as swimming at Echo Lake beach, the Bluffs or the Ledges. There is golf at The Causeway Club, bike, canoe, and boat rentals, and miles of rock bound shore to explore.
We welcome you to Mount Desert Island and look forward to serving you!

"One word, Beautiful! I and eight friends recently rented this beautiful home in Southwest Harbor. Several of us planned to run the Mount
Desert Island Marathon and were looking for a house within walking distance to the end of the race. We couldn't have asked for a more
convenient, comfortable home to come back to after running 26.2
miles. Suzanne was very accommodating and responsive in any correspondence I had with her. She epitomized the relaxed and laid back atmosphere of Southwest Harbor itself.
The house was more than comfortable with 9 people in the house. The house is so well appointed with a beautiful fireplace replete with firewood and a backyard fire pit and bar-b-que. The great room offered so many options to relax and have fun. There was a variety of games, books and puzzles for both adults and children. Also, you can let your inner chef out in this beautiful well stocked kitchen.
Waking up in the morning and viewing the sun rise over the harbor from the front porch is breathtaking. We were within easy walking distance to the quaint town. The coffee shop in town served the best coffee and coming from California where coffee is king, that's something! I would not hesitate to rent this house again. We spent four fun days in this beautiful home and wished it could have been a longer stay.

We recently stayed at this wonderful home. The previous reviews did a nice job of capturing the benefits/features of this home so I will hit just a few highlights.
Found Southwest Harbor to be very quaint and nice break from Bar Harbor. Good jumping off point to all points on the island. There are a handful of restaurants in town (we enjoyed Eat-a-Pita ... it is much more than pitas). There is a nice wine shop with a wide selection of wine and cheeses.
Fire pit in back. Nice way to relax after a full day ... plenty of firewood on hand.
Family room very comfy with leather couch and chairs, fireplace, large TV.
There is a grocery store in town but if you plan on doing a lot of cooking we recommend that you try Hannaford's in Bar Harbor.
Suzanne was great. Easily accessible by phone or email.
We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area.
I ran the Bar Harbor half marathon with a college friend in September and we both brought our parents and her aunt and uncle. We fit 8 people very comfortably in this wonderful home. We were able to play games together each night in the great room, we played pool, did a puzzle, and my friend's dad loved being able to play the piano all weekend. We loved being in Southwest Harbor, off the beaten path a little but still having a town to wander through. We were across the street from a lobster house and Grumpy's which is an awesome little local place. The pier across the street also had a great little fundraising party while we were there which was fun. Suzanne was a lovely host and very easy to work with. Upon return I would definitely stay here again.
We had such a great time in this home! Plenty of room, fully stocked kitchen, and such a comfortable and welcoming and beautiful place! We had 7 adults and a baby and had plenty of room! And the location was perfect! So glad we did not stay in Bar Harbor where everything is so touristy. We kayaked on a nearby pond, hiked on nearby trails, loved the little village town where we picked up fresh lobster to cook every night. And Suzanne was just an email away, although we didn't need a thing. Thank you - we will be back!!
This home is large and perfectly suited for a large family or group but also worked well for our two couples. Other reviews have noted the bathroom on the second floor is entered through one of the bedrooms but this is not a huge deal considering all of the other features the home offers. The den/family room is where you will spend most of your time and it is large. The foosball table, pool table, entertainment center and fireplace make it hard to leave! All of the bedrooms are spacious and the entire home is spotless. The kitchen is high end and well stocked and there is an additional small kitchen area in the rear of the first floor. After spending time in Bar Harbor with the crowds, we were glad that we chose this more quiet location. It seems a world away but is actually only a few minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. The front of the home overlooks the harbor where we watched an eclipse of the moon during our stay. The owner met us on arrival and was very gracious. We would definitely stay here in the future.
Pictures represent home well. Owner is easy tp work with, and wants you to enjoy your stay. Great location to see all of MDI, and a straight shot into Ellsworth.
Plenty of parking, house is spotless. Loved the fireplace (wood provided) and pool table. Kitchen was well stocked, included all basics, plus a great BUNN coffeemaker! Nice yard with fire pit and charcoal grill. Great home to share with friends or family!
Two possible concerns
1. 3 of the bedrooms are upstairs, but only one bath - which is IN one of the bedrooms. So the others must use the bath on the first floor.
2. There are multiple steps, 1/2 steps, and double steps throughout the house.
Both of these could be a non-issue depending upon the make up of your group -those who are physically handicapped, or young toddlers could have issues. Otherwise, no concerns.
We would rent this home again, and can easily recommend it to others.
It was a pleasure staying here - thank you for sharing it.
We rented this house for two families with a total of four adults and four children, ages 6-11. It was the perfect home base for Acadia National Park; we were close to the entire park and just a 10-minute drive to parts of it. This is the quiet side of the island and not touristy like Bar Harbor but it is easy to get to Bar Harbor for food or shopping.
The house has a gigantic family room with a pool table and every possible entertainment amenity. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cooking tools and drawers and cabinets are labeled, which is a brilliant idea. If you get tired of cooking we recommend the pizza and baked goods at Little Notch.
Hosts were gracious and generous, and answered even the tiniest questions quickly. They even replaced a phonograph needle for us so we could show our kids how a record player works. :)
One note: the house has five bedrooms, including the downstairs apartment. One of the upstairs bedrooms has its own bathroom but the room is accessible only through another bedroom. This worked fine for us but might be useful information.
We would rent this house again.

Douglas writes,
Is Terad 3 safe to use with pets, specifically from secondary poisoning?
Terad 3 is very popular because of the reduced risk of secondary poisoning. A pet would have to eat a large amount of the actual bait to become very ill. In turn, a pet would have to eat a huge number of rodents that ate a small amount of bait to become ill. Most pets don't eat dead rodents....they may bring them to your doorstep but most do not consume the carcass. Of course you must do your part and use discretion on where you place the bait for the rodents so it is out of reach of children and pets.

Fragmin Information:
What is Fragmin?
Prescription Fragmin is a blood-thinning injection that is used to prevent blood clots. Depending on your condition, Fragmin may be recommended if you have deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism following prolonged bed rest after a surgical procedure. Fragmin can also be administered before blood clots form if the patient is bed ridden and is at risk for developing deep vein thrombosis. Fragmin belongs to a group of medications called antithrombotics, which work by thinning the blood to prevent serious cardiovascular events.
How do I take Fragmin?
A doctor or nurse usually administers Fragmin, but some patients can administer the injection with careful instructions. If you are administering Fragmin at home, you should inject the stomach area while folding the skin. Remember to choose a new application site on the stomach or thigh region every time you inject Fragmin. It is important to follow doctor's instructions very carefully when injecting Fragmin to avoid possible injury
Before taking Fragmin, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to Fragmin
- You have an active stomach ulcer in the small intestine
- You have suffered from brain a brain hemorrhage
- You have septic endocarditis
- You have a history of heart attack or stroke
- You have uncontrolled blood pressure
- You are taking other blood thinning agents
- You have a brain tumor
- You have severe liver or kidney failure
What are the possible side effects of taking Fragmin?
The most common side effects patients report after injecting Fragmin include bruising, bleeding and pain at the injection site, and blood collection under the skin. Uncommon side effects include increase levels of potassium, red skin, rashes, itching, and other allergic reactions. You should report all side effects to your doctor right away, and seek immediate medical help if you experience chest pain or shortness of breath after injecting Fragmin.
What if I forget to take a dose of Fragmin?
If you forget to take a dose, tell your doctor or pharmacist. Do not double up on Fragmin to make up for a missed dose or it may cause severe adverse reactions.
How do I store Fragmin?
Store Fragmin injectable in a room below 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not expose Fragmin to extreme heat, cold, or moisture, and keep away from children.
What happens if I overdose on Fragmin?
Call your doctor or 911 right away if you overdose on Fragmin as it may cause severe side effects.
Do not take any medications that thin blood like aspiring as it may increase the effect of Fragmin. Avoid allergy medications, vitamin C or antibiotics while taking Fragmin as they may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Marbella, Spain (PressExposure) August 18, 2009 -- The bleak economic forecast on the coast has been given a major boost this week with the announcement by one of its leading businesses Mills & Mills cosmetic surgery clinic in Marbella of its multi million pound merger with the UKs 2nd biggest Cosmetic surgery provider, The Hospital Group. This merger brings together two established figures in the world of Cosmetic surgery and is yet another springboard in the Mills & Mills success story.
Mills & Mills was founded here in Marbella, a little less than 4 years ago by British husband and wife team David and Debbie Mills.
Having over 35 yearâs Cosmetic Surgery experience between them they recognized a gap in the Cosmetic Surgery market and have since become one of the leaders of Medical Tourism in Europe. They achieved this when the European economy was stable along with the Euro, 4 years on the European economy along with the rest of the world has downturned but Mills & Mills through sheer determination and hard work are riding the storm and now with investment from The Hospital Group can implement their plans for expansion.
So what are the benefits of the deal for both companies? For The Hospital Group it continues their international expansion and follows their acquisition of 4 clinics in Ireland? It offers their patients a safe option should they prefer to have their surgery abroad. For Mills & Mills it means that their patients can continue to benefit from pre and post surgical consultations at The Hospital Groups UK and Ireland based Clinics. Both companies are looking to expand world wide. The companies have plans to employ top surgeons from around the world and they have recently appointed top Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Mario Russo as Clinical Director.
David Mills Director of Mills & Mills saysâ we are very excited to be working alongside The Hospital Group, Director David Ross and I have know each other a long time and we both have the same high Ideals when it comes to Patient care. We want to give people more choices and more affordable surgery; this merger will make that happenâ.
An early move following the merger is the launch of the Spanish Brand and the launch of its web site [http://www.cirugiaplasticaperfecta.es] David continuesâ We want Mills & Mills to be viewed as more European, our aim on launching the new site was to encourage the inclusion of the Spanish community. We are currently opening clinics all over mainland Spain, the Canaries and the Balearic islands. Since the launch of the site we have literally seen hundreds of new customer enquiries.
The Hospital Group is investing massively in new computer systems to integrate Mills & Mills and the Spanish operation into the Group along with investment into Mills & Mills marketing particularly on the internetâ
A recent survey in the UK says that Britain will be the first country to come out of the recession with the rest of Europe staying in the doldrums till 2010. Its companies like Mills & Mills that renew confidence in the Coast and place it in a better position to grow both now and in the years ahead.

QUEENSLAND'S elite schools and those with some of the most disadvantaged students have received the lowest funding increases under the former federal government's Gonski model.
Christian schools in north Queensland are the biggest winners.
Provisional federal funding figures for Queensland Independent schools in 2014, obtained by Australian Greens schools spokeswoman Senator Penny Wright, provide an insight into how much money each school will get.
The Gonski funding model was legislated for Independent and Catholic schools last year and Independent Schools Queensland says final figures won't be known until after the August Commonwealth census of schools.
The figures show Hinchinbrook Christian School, which has 14 students, has the biggest funding increase of 21 per cent between 2013 and 2014 – more than double any other school.
The highest amount per student – $19,224 – is going to Wadja Wadja High School at Woorabinda, which has some of the state's worst school attendance rates.
In a strange twist, the Autism Queensland Education and Therapy Centre and two schools for disengaged students – the Toogoolawa and YMCA vocational schools – only received a three per cent increase from 2013 to 2014.
Elite Brisbane schools Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Girls Grammar School, the Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie), Somerville House, St Margaret's Anglican Girls School and Brisbane Boys' College received the smallest increases at three per cent.
Autism Queensland said while it appreciated the funding support, the reality was school costs were increasing at four to five per cent per annum.
Senator Wright encouraged Queensland parents and teachers to make submissions to the new Senate committee which will examine how the funding model has been implemented.
"It is an important opportunity for everyone who is passionate about quality education in Australia to have their voices heard," she said.

Copyright: NRL Photos Credit: NRL Photos/Grant Trouville. Copyright: NRL Photos/Grant Trouville. Captain Paul Gallen says Cronulla is desperately missing the steadying influence of banned coach Shane Flanagan and it is evident in their winless start to the NRL season.Sunday's 30-0 defeat to Newcastle was the Sharks' fourth straight loss to begin the season and the injured Gallen said on Tuesday his side needs to turn their form around quickly.Cronulla have been hit hard by injuries to key players including Gallen, Luke Lewis, Todd Carney, Jeff Robson and Beau Ryan to start the year and a suspension to Andrew Fifita.Watch the NRL LIVE with a 2-week free trial.Get the NRL Digital Pass now!Flanagan's assistant Peter Sharp has taken over in an interim role for 2014."Before the season started, before Flano was gone I thought we could go two ways," Gallen said on Tuesday."I thought we could be the team I know we can be and finish in the top four or go the other way and I think we have gone the other way at the moment."I think a few players have taken their foot off the gas because Flano is not here jumping down people's throats."I said to someone yesterday, when there is a relief teacher at school no matter how much you tell the kids to be good they are going to relax and muck up a little bit."Unfortunately I think that has happened and as a senior player, we have got a couple of other senior players together and said we need to start ripping in at training and hopefully that has started this morning."Gallen said he was on track for a round eight return from an ankle injury suffered in Round 1."Obviously none from four is not the way you want to start the season," he said."We have plenty of excuses in the injuries we have got but our performance on the weekend from guys that are supposed to be first graders wasn't up to standard and there has been a bit of soul searching to do."We need to turn it around quickly."But Gallen said it was the absence of Flanagan, who has been suspended over governance issues at the club during the 2011 season, who was hurting the club the most.

30 Days of Upgrades: Be A Better Man | Coming This June
The Dean of GP here. First, let me say this. If your browser, favorites, bookmarks, RSS, Google Reader, email, telegraph, or fax aren't set to read Gear Patrol every day, well, it's about time you fix that (after all, Eric and the crew roll out approximately three delicious new posts, every weekday). If that isn't enough to convince you then perhaps what we've got in store for this June will. Starting June 1st, the writers, readers, and some guests of Gear Patrol will be sharing a shiny new doubloon of man-knowledge every single day, including Saturdays and Sundays. We call it the 30 Days of Upgrades: Be A Better Man initiative.
Follow us all 30 days and you might find yourself in one of the following situations:
- A better, more knowledgeable man.
- In possession, or knowledgeable about better gear.
- Eligible to win some of that gear with a few GP patent-pending über-simple giveaways for our readers who participate in the initiative by sharing comments and knowledge of their own.
If you're interested in just following the 30 Day Series, you can bookmark this page (nothing there yet) where we'll keep the entire series together.
Now, don't say we never tried to do anything for you.
– The Gear Patrol Dean
