Apple In-Ear Headphones (White)
" I don't know whether it's a conspiracy or a joke, but Apple's talk of these being good quality just makes them seem like hilarious liars who could sell ice to eskimos. If their intent is to drive aftermarket sales, then they've managed it. As far as I can tell these things literally don't play bass. It's just not there. The midrange is ok, and if you're tired, they're ok for watching movies..." --BBBS

" After reading InnerFidelity's article about the Apple iBuds, I was definitely curious about how they really sound. I was genuinely surprised, as I expected a tinny sound out of them, but no.

The CC51 uses a new 6.0mm micro-driver that delivers full, accurate, detailed sound and, when housed in ceramic, eliminates resonance that might cause distortion-inducing harmonics resulting in a natural sound.

A Joe Ledger Novel
Joe Ledger (Volume 4)
Jonathan Maberry
St. Martin's Griffin
Chapter One
Starbox Coffee
Tehran, Iran
June 15, 7:23 a.m.
She said, "Look down at your chest."
I held the cell phone to my ear as I bent my head. Two red dots, quivering slightly, danced right over my heart.
"You are one second away from death," said the caller.
Chapter Two
Starbox Coffee
Tehran, Iran
June 15, 7:25 a.m.
I didn't know the voice. She was a stranger. I didn't know her name. Didn't know anything except that she had my cell number. Ten seconds ago I was about to go into Starbox—yes, they really call it that in Iran—for a cup of bold and a couple of pastries. The street outside was empty.
I looked up. The shooters had to be in the building across the street, maybe the fifth floor. Didn't really matter, the range was a hundred yards and even a sloppy marksman could punch my ticket at that distance. I doubted these guys were sloppy. And there were two of them. I was also pretty sure I knew why they were after me.
"Okay," I said.
"I need you to confirm your name," she said in Persian. She had a very sexy voice for a psycho killer. Low and smoky.
"Because I have to be certain."
"Geez, sister," I said, "if this is how you ID your targets then I don't think you're going to get that contract killer merit badge."
The joke didn't translate well but she made a sound. It might have been a laugh. Glad she was amused. Sweat was pouring down my spine. The two little laser sights gave me no chance at all to run.
"If this was simply a matter of killing you," she said, "then we'd have done it and taken your wallet for identification." She had a European accent but she was hiding it by trying to speak Persian like a native. Kind of weird. Not the weirdest thing going on at the moment.
"Um … thanks?" I said.
"Tell me your name," she said again.
There had to be three of them. Two shooters and her. Was she the spotter? If not, there could have been one or two others, spotting for the gunmen. Or it might have been the three of them.
"Ebenezer Scrooge," I said.
"No games," she warned. "Your name."
"Full name."
One of the laser sights drifted down from my chest and settled on my crotch.
"Once more?" she coaxed.
"Joseph Edwin Ledger." No screwing around this time.
"Captain. Want my shoe size?"
There was a pause. "I was warned about you. You think you're funny."
"Everyone thinks I'm funny."
"I doubt that's true. How often do you make Mr. Church laugh out loud?"
"Never heard of him," I lied.
Now I was confused. Up till now I thought she was part of a team looking to take me down for the little bit of nastiness I got into last night. Echo Team and I went into a high-security facility and liberated three twentysomethings who had been arrested a year ago while hiking in the mountains. The
mountains. An Iranian patrol crossed the border, nabbed the hikers, and started making noise in the media that the three hikers had illegally trespassed and therefore they were spies. They weren't. One was a former Peace Corps team leader who was there with his animal behaviorist girlfriend who wanted to take photos of a kind of rare tiger to help her with her master's thesis.
Acinonyx jubatus venaticus
. Asiatic cheetah. Also known as the Iranian cheetah. No, I'm not making this up.
The hikers had been used as pawns in Iran's ongoing policy of stalling and disinformation regarding their nuclear program. Normally we'd let the State Department and world opinion exert pressure on the Iranian government … but the third member of the hiking party was the only son of one of America's most important senators. The real twist is that the senator was a key player on several committees crucial to the U.S. war effort. Everyone with a spoonful of brains knew that the Iranians staged the whole thing to be able to turn dials on Senator McHale.
And it was starting to work. So the president asked Church to make the problem go away. We were Church's response.
"So, who gets to slap the cuffs on me?" I asked.
This time she did laugh.
"No, Captain Ledger," she said, "here's how it's going to work. As soon as I am done speaking you will turn off your cell phone and remove the battery and the SIM card. Put the SIM card and phone into different pockets. Walk to the curb and drop the battery into the culvert. Then I want you to go into the café. Order a coffee, sit in the corner. Do not reassemble your phone. Do not use the store's phone. Write no notes to the staff or other customers. Sit and enjoy your coffee. Read the newspaper. Ahmadinejad is insisting that the dramatics at the prison last night were the result of a boiler explosion. You should find that amusing. Do not make any calls. Maybe have a second cup of coffee."
"Do you work for Starbox? If so, I can't say I dig your new marketing strategy."
She ignored me. Her resistance to my wit was almost as disconcerting as the laser sights on my junk. Almost.
She said, "In a few minutes a person will enter the café. A man. He will recognize you and will join you. The two of you will have a conversation and then he will leave. Once he has left, you will wait another ten minutes before you reassemble your phone. You are on your own to find a new battery. You are supposed to be resourceful, so I imagine you will solve that problem without my advice."
"Then what do I do?"
"Then," she said, "you will do whatever you judge best."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"When do I meet you?"
"You don't."
"I'd like to."
"No," she said with another little laugh, "you would not."
"Tell me something, miss, why go to these lengths? This could have been arranged with a lot less drama."
"No it could not. If you are smarter than you appear, then you'll understand why in a few minutes."
"These laser sights going to be on me the whole time? It's a lousy fashion statement and people
There was a moment's silence on the other end and then both sights vanished. I had to control myself from collapsing against the wall. I was pretty sure it would be two or three weeks before my nuts felt safe enough to climb down out of my chest cavity. My heart was beating like a jazz drum solo—loud, fast, and with no discernable rhythm.
"The clock is now ticking, Captain Ledger. Once I disconnect, please follow the instructions you have been given."
"Wait—" I said, but the line went dead.
I held the phone in my hand and looked across the street to the office building. Even without the sights I knew they could take me anytime they wanted.
There were no real options left. Just because the laser sights weren't on me didn't mean that I was safe. I think they'd used them for effect. It was broad daylight; they certainly had scopes. So I did as I was told. I dismantled my phone and put the SIM card in my left coat pocket and the empty phone casing in my jeans. With great reluctance I walked to the edge of the pavement and stared for a moment down into the black hole of the culvert.
"Crap," I said, and dropped the battery, which vanished without a trace. All I heard was a dull
as it landed in the subterranean muck.
Before I turned to go into the store I scratched the tip of my nose with my forefinger. I was sure they'd see that, too.

Booboo Stewart and his sister Fivel helped make one teen bands' dreams come true as they helped crown the "Best Teen Band in the USA" at the National Association of Music Merchants' (NAMM) SchoolJam USA competition at Downtown Disney District.
Competing against seven other bands, Ergo We Play played a 15-minute set, comprised of original music, to a crowd of nearly 500 fans and a judges panel of music professionals. With thoughtful lyrics, a non-conformist style and commanding stage presence, Ergo We Play swept the competition.
"I have no words to describe how we feel right now," said band drummer and vocalist, Tommy Blackburn. "To work so hard and beat out seven other amazing and ridiculously talented bands is just crazy. If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up!"
When describing the impact that winning will have on the band's school music education program, bassist Sam Travis said, "A huge part of our excitement is that we can bring home cash for our school music program. We feel like we're doing something big in that way and we know it because we have so many text messages from back home right now. They're all freaking out."
"SchoolJam USA is about discovering the joy of playing and writing new music with friends. It's our pleasure to shine a spotlight on this year's talented finalists during the NAMM Show and, in turn, support school music programs across the country," said Joe Lamond, president and CEO of NAMM.
In addition to earning the evening's grand title, Ergo We Play also took home $5,000 for Farragut High School's music education program, $1,000 toward the purchase of new band gear, a private music video recording session on the John Lennon Educational Bus, and a grand-prize trip of a lifetime to perform at the 2013 SchoolJam Germany finals in Frankfurt in April.
"Twilight" sensation Booboo Stewart and his sister, Fivel, entertained the crowd with a special performance of their new single, "FreeZe," and emceed the competition together with Channel One News anchor Scott Evans.
Second and third-place runners-up included: Cheating Daylight and Harlem Shuffle. Additionally, specific individuals were recognized for their talents in the following "Best Of" categories:
• Best Bass: Connor Gill, Cheating Daylight
• Best Percussion: Alex Garcia, Premium Blend
• Best Guitar: Thomas Detchemendy, Ergo We Play
• Judges Prize: Jesus Cervantes, Premium Blend
• Best Keyboard: Isaac Boyle, Premium Blend
• Best Vocals: Sierra Fry, Harlem Shuffle

How the Housing Market Will Reach Bottom
A report by Diana Olick on CNBC today, "Florida Real Estate Selling Fast and Foreign," gives a good idea on how market prices reach their bottoms. In this case, the market is condominiums and the place is Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, which was at the epicenter of the housing Bubble and ultimate bust. In the report, Ms. Olick told how the inventory of condominiums for sale in Ft. Lauderdale has dropped to 100 or less.
The liquidation process occurring in Ft. Lauderdale is the model for how the housing market will reach a bottom. Prices must get low enough to attract value investors who can buy and resell at a profit. Interestingly, the primary buyers in Ft. Lauderdale have been foreigners.
The Cost of a Little More Time
The May 28 issue of The Economist carried an article about the development of new drugs in America. Evidently, the business model for big drug companies is shifting. In the past, research has focus primarily on creating blockbuster drugs, those that are applicable to diseases that affect large numbers of people. Now, companies are increasingly investing in drugs that are more specialized, applicable to diseases that threat relatively small groups of people. My guess is that drug companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find new blockbuster drugs and development costs do not provide adequate profit margins. So, more and more, drugs coming to the FDA for approval are those developed by Biotech firms targeting small numbers of people.
Of course, to make this work financially, the price of these new drugs must be very high. Much of the new research is oriented toward treatment of advanced-stage cancer. As examples,

Less than a month after declaring polar bears a threatened species because of global warming, the Bush administration is giving oil companies permission to annoy and potentially harm them in the pursuit of oil and natural gas.The Fish and Wildlife Service issued regulations this week providing legal protection to seven oil companies planning to search for oil and gas in the Chukchi Sea off the northwestern coast of Alaska if "small numbers" of polar bears or Pacific walruses are incidentally harmed by their activities over the next five years.Environmentalists said the new regulations give oil companies a blank check to harass the polar bear.
About 2,000 of the 25,000 polar bears in the Arctic live in and around the Chukchi Sea, where the government in February auctioned off oil leases to ConocoPhillips Co., Shell Oil Co. and five other companies for $2.6 billion. Over objections from environmentalists and members of Congress, the sale occurred before the bear was classified as threatened in May.
Exploring in the Chukchi Sea's 29.7 million acres will require as many as five drill ships, one or two icebreakers, a barge, a tug and two helicopter flights per day, according to the government. Oil companies will also be making hundred of miles of ice roads and trails along the coastline.
"The oil and gas industry is operating under the kind of rules they have operated under for 15 years has not been a threat to the species," H. Dale Hall, the Fish and Wildlife Service's director, told The Associated Press on Friday. "It was the ice melting and the habitat going away that was a threat to the species over everything else."
Administration and industry officials said oil companies enjoyed similar status in the Chukchi Sea from 1991 to 1996 and in the Beaufort Sea since 1993 and there was no effect on polar bear populations.There is no evidence of a polar bear being killed by oil and gas activities in Alaska since 1993, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Since 1960, when the hunt for oil and gas began in Alaska, only two fatalities of polar bears have been linked to oil and gas activities in the state, the service said.

Just another example of what they talk about when they say "freely available talent". At the least, he'd add good depth for a team in AAA. At best, some team might finally give him a shot to see if maybe he really can hit in the Majors.

Berry College Student Performs Alleged Exorcism on Campus
The then resident assistant said the event took place during a nightly Bible study session.
A former resident assistant at a small Georgia college claims to have exorcised demons from another student, the Viking Fusion reports.
Nathan Mallory, a junior at Berry College and a participant in a program for fervently religious students, told the Viking Fusion that the exorcism took place September 24 during a Bible study session he often hosts in his dorm room. Mallory says that while the Bible study participants were singing hymns, he noticed one participant—a former Berry College student who recently transferred—saying "no" repeatedly. Recognizing this as a sign of demonic possession, Mallory began to pray with the troubled student, he says.
"That's when it showed itself. Her face changed right in front of me, and the most evil, hideous grin came on her face, and her eyes seemed to turn red," Mallory says, adding that he "prayed the Holy Spirit would take over, and he did."
Though Mallory says he did not touch or restrain the student at any point during the exorcism and that she is happy now, Dean of Students Debbie Heida says a college campus is no place for an exorcism and cautioned Mallory that he could have been seeing one of many things. Heida added that Berry College removed Mallory from his position as an RA because of the event.
Some Berry students have expressed concerns about the alleged exorcism, but Mallory says he does not mind the negative feedback and cautions others who might try to take on an exorcism. "You cannot go around looking to fight Satan head-on like that," Mallory says. "If the Holy Spirit is not in control of the situation, you better be physically prepared to try to survive something."
In addition to the post about the alleged exorcism, the Viking Fusion's website features a video highlighting the debate among students over the alleged exorcism.

Most of the property is in O'Fallon, but the current site plan for the development shows a corner of the parking lot, as well as the store's outlots, in unincorporated St. Charles County.
between Highway N and Old Highway N, either by a voluntary annexation agreement with the owner, or by an involuntary annexation on the April 3 ballot.
At Monday night's public work session with the Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen and city staff, City Administrator Paul Markworth unveiled a proposal for the two cities to share tax revenues for the development.
O'Fallon's Mayor Bill Hennessy and City Administrator Keith Reisberg were in attendance to listen to the Lake Saint Louis board's reaction to the plan before taking it back to their own city council on Thursday night.
The plan, which was the brainchild of Lake Saint Louis Mayor Mike Potter, called for Lake Saint Louis and O'Fallon to split the tax revenues from the Menards store and the outlot businesses 20/80, with 20 percent going to Lake Saint Louis and 80 percent going to O'Fallon.
The agreement would become void at the point that revenues Lake Saint Louis receives from the outlot stores is the same as the amount they would receive from the Menards store.
The developer has asked for a large pylon sign near Hwy. N, which would be on the property Lake Saint Louis is planning to annex. Lake Saint Louis will also be maintaining Orf Road.
Markworth expressed concern that the new development could hurt businesses at the Shoppes at Hawk Ridge, especially .
As an alternative plan, Potter suggested that sales tax revenues be used to relocate some power lines that go through the outlot area. Once those lines are gone, it is possible that two or three more lots could be developed.
Potter asked the board for permission to send the plan on to O'Fallon.
Ward 3 Alderman George Rich spoke against the plan, which he said did not provide enough benefits to Lake Saint Louis.
"We're giving away too much," he said, noting the completion of the Page Extension would make the outlots "prime property."
Rich's fellow Ward 3 Alderman, John Pellerito, was more positive about the deal.
"I've been excited about us working with other cities," Pellerito said. "That's what we're supposed to be doing, working together."
With Rich and Ward 1 Alderman Ralph Sidebottom against the deal, and Pellerito and Ward 2 Alderman Karen Vennard for it, Mayor Potter used his tiebreaker vote to give the go-ahead for Hennessy and Reisberg to discuss the plan with the O'Fallon city council.
Ward 1 Alderman Larry DeGroodt and Ward 2 Alderman Kathy Schweikert were not at the meeting.

Comments about Halloween Man By Jesus Del Pozo:
Do you remember Halloween's holiday? Try to imagine spicy pumpkin pie with cinnamon and some woody notes- you got Halloween fragrance. It's very similar to Paco Rabanne 1 Million E.d.t. Halloween is less sweet and more woody fragrance. Dry-down has a soft and spicy watery pumpkin background. Comfortable and not overpowering! Great value for 125ml bottle (Why to pay 100$ for 1 million? Rabanne gone crazy and too pricey!)

African Steam 2011
Images from the Geoff's Trains Africa Steam Season tours
By Geoff Cooke
This book is a photographic record of the Railway Enthusiast tours that Geoff's Trains ran to Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa in 2011. All of the photographs were taken by Geoff Cooke, who planned and managed the tours. There is also a brief description of each part of the tour.
About the Author
Born in London, England, Geoff grew up in Bulawayo, the second city of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).
In 1986 Geoff persuaded the National Railways of Zimbabwe to allow him to run a tourist train from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls, a roller coaster ride that is now the subject of this book.
Recognised as one of the leading authorities in African tourist train operations, Geoff still plans and hosts tours to Africa that include many of the continent's railways.
Geoff and Sheelagh now live in Kidderminster, England, where they can hear the steam whistles on the Severn Valley Railway from their garden.

All dog food brands are not created equal. Even within the collection of a specific brand of dog food, there are differences in the nutritional benefits of the food. Dog owners have a variety of dog food brands to select from. That makes it possible to find the food that best meets the nutritional requirement every type, age or size of dog.
Puppy food has more of the vitamins and nutrients that a growing puppy needs. A puppy also needs food that has a 30% protein content. Dry food is recommended for puppies because it is more beneficial to their dental health than moist food.
There are dog food brands that have a variety of food for adult dogs. There is a considerable price differentiation in these options. To lessen the confusion over which type of food to choose, check the ingredient label. If the first ingredient is not a meat product, the food will not provide the nutritional elements a dog needs. One of the most obvious differences in dog food brands is their pricing. The lesser expensive foods that are not nutritionally balanced may cost less, but the feeding chart will recommend a larger amount of food per feeding than the more expensive, healthier, well-balanced varieties. When calculating the cost per day, per dog or per feeding, this is an essential factor to consider.
Dog food brands that lack the ingredients that are essential to a dog's health may be less expensive than the higher quality brands, but in the long term, the results of insufficient nutrition can result in veterinarian bills related to health issues resulting from improper nutrition. Higher priced, better quality dog food brands have the proper amount of protein a dog needs. Meat, such as chicken, lamb, beef, turkey, salmon and duck are their primary ingredient. Some of these foods contain probiotics. When high quality dog food brands do include grain in their food, it is grain that is organically grown. All-natural food is simply a healthier option for a dog of any age.
Among the vast array of dog food that is lined up on a grocery store aisle or pet section of a big box store, there are foods that claim to be designed to address specific problems such as food for an over weight dog. Feeding a dog a well-balanced, organic or wellness-focused dog food will eliminate issue of obesity. Feeding the proper amount of a food that meets the precise nutritional needs of a dog and giving it the exercise it needs, will eliminate the need to purchase a weight loss type of food.
Among the high quality dog food brands, there are foods designed specifically for certain situations. Dog food brands that have a dog's health at the forefront of their concern, design specific products for puppies, adults, nursing females, small dogs, large breeds and seniors. Each type contains the ingredients that are appropriate for the dog it is designed for. The size of the pieces of food also correlate with the size and age of the dog.
Buying a higher priced, better quality food for a dog can actually be a more budget-friendly option. A healthy dog will only need routine veterinarian care instead of frequent visits to address health issues related to a poor diet. When fed an all-natural, well-balanced diet a dog will feel better. It's coat will look better. It's energy level and quality of life will be at its optimum.

Meredith is more thoughtful than I
I find this both amusing and telling. Yesterday's post about shrinking speaking engagements and conferences attracted zero comments here — but a number of comments on Facebook. So, I wrote in my Facebook status line yesterday:
fascinated as always by the fact that blog posts get a bunch of comments on facebook, none on the blog itself. It's funny how conversations move over the years.
… which, in itself, got more comments on Facebook than any post here (yes, I know they're dwindling ) has received in probably a year.
Then I went in my feedreader and ran across Meredith Farkas' "W(h)ither blogging and the library blogosphere?" about microblogging and how it's transforming the biblioblogosphere. (Sorry, I still like the word!) Meredith's post? Up to 38 comments and counting. Is this because Meredith is an "A-list" blogger and has a bajillion readers? Or is it because she's one of the few people still writing these long, thoughtful blog posts that she misses, and people want to be part of that conversation?
My other (totally nonlibrary) blog gathers many more comments than does The Liminal Librarian. Is this because I post more often there, or because of the topic, or because the people who are into that type of blog tend read it directly rather than on Facebook/FriendFeed?
Yes, I have more questions than answers. But am just wondering how people choose where to continue conversations online, and would love to… have a conversation about it!

The Southampton Town Board voted unanimously Tuesday to suspend without pay a police officer widely reported to have compromised narcotics investigations because of his own drug addiction.
Officer Eric Sickles became addicted to drugs while working in the 's now-defunct Street Crimes Unit, according to a confidential source and corroborated by many published reports.
Tuesday's suspension is indefinite, "pending the disposition of disciplinary charges." According to the Town Board resolution, the suspension came at the recommendation of Police Chief William Wilson, who served the charges, which were not specified.
Sickles will be able to use accumulated sick and vacation time to keep receiving paychecks.
The resolution does not state when exactly the board will revisit the matter, but it does direct Wilson to report on the status of the case to the board on a regular basis.
According to past Town Board resolutions, Sickles was appointed a part-time police officer in September 1998, though he did not officially begin until completing the Suffolk County Police Academy. In September 2000, he was appointed a full-time officer.
In April, Lt. James Kiernan, who was the supervisor of the Street Crimes Unit, was , then in early May.
The reasons for his suspension were also never publicly stated, as town and police officials cited confidentiality of personnel matters. But Wilson began an internal review of two years of Street Crimes Unit cases, and he told Newsday that the unit, which conducted narcotics investigations, lacked oversight.
And on May 9, the Government Corruption Bureau of Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota's office " from Town Hall. Then at the end of May, Spota announced that two convicted drug dealers who had been arrested by the Street Crimes Unit would be and their charges were vacated. Their releases were the result of an ongoing review of more than 100 of the unit's cases, according to Spota, who said that his office has gathered information that affects the credibility of a police officer.
Defense attorney Sue Menu said the cases were tossed out because the men's constitutional rights had been violated.
Spota said his office is still reviewing both pending and closed cases, which will likely end in more cases being dismissed.

Considering it's plastic, has a battery, etc, it seems as though you are supposed to remove the food from the cooking environment to take its temperature rather than leaving it in the food while cooking.
also consider buying at least 5 in order to find 1 that works
Nah...bought one and it works as described. You stick it in what ever you're trying to get the temp of and the remove it! Whether grill, oven or fired device of your choosing, you stick it and remove it until the temp you are seeking arrives.
No brainer to know not to leave it in the heat source!
Come on dave _c, don't get all stupid on us ghetto dogs!
^ My point was that there are thermometers you can leave in the food, mine has a silicone insulated lead coming from the probe to outside the cooking appliance where the rest of it is to make that possible.

Samsung launches epic TV spot for curved TV
Samsung has released a dramatic TV spot set in a Roman coliseum to promote its curved, UHD television set.
CHI & Partners created the ad, which opens on a packed coliseum in ancient Rome. As gladiators file out of the gates, a father and young son, in a dressing gown and a onesie, appear in the centre of the action.
After a "thumbs down" from the watching emperor, the gladiators charge at the pair, but before they get too close it is revealed that the man and boy are just watching the action on a new UHD television. A voiceover then kicks in, describing the product.
The 60-second spot, which was shot in New Zealand and used 350 cast and extras, was written by Micky Tudor, art directed by Monty Verdi and directed by Nathan Price through Park Pictures.
The ad breaks today and will run on TV and online. The wider campaign also comprises outdoor and press executions.
Yoonjung Lee, Samsung's vice-president of TV global marketing, said: "We wanted to create a commercial that involved and surrounded the viewer, to dramatise a TV innovation that allows an immersive viewing experience like never before."
Samsung kicked off a review of its global advertising and media agencies, as revealed by Campaign in April.

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 —
The students in the English as a Second Language (ESL) class at West Stanly High School (WSHS) gave thanks over tortilla chips, salsa and refried beans right before the Thanksgiving holiday break.
Titled Cultural Day, the ESL students learned about the history and the various traditions that make up Thanksgiving, while simultaneously learning about the melange of cultural backgrounds of their fellow classmates.
"We've been studying cultures and cultural celebrations," said Elsa Armijos, ESL instructor at WSHS.
"Thanksgiving is a uniquely American celebration, and with the different cultural backgrounds in this class, I wanted them to be aware of American culture and their own diverse backgrounds.
"This is a fusion of the different meanings that the holidays represent, a fusion of cultures. We want them to be successful in this country. We're all thankful for the opportunities that we have here in this country."
Armijos explained that ESL students take the class because they speak English as their second language, adding that the majority of the ESL students at WSHS spoke Hmong or Spanish.
"This is a heterogeneous group. We have all ages. They go to regular classes and come here in their fourth block.
"In this class we develop an awareness of cultural heritages, languages, food and family values," Armijos said.
"Primarily we develop English communication skills through reading, writing and speaking.
"The majority of my students come in knowing some English, but we build them up to a higher level.
"Also, we facilitate learning in content areas if they're having problems, such as science, social studies or math."
Armijos said that ESL classes provide a sheltered, content-based environment, providing more input and breaking lessons down into more manageable parts for students.
"This is a good program. It really helps people improve their grades. She [Armijos] helps out a lot, helps us as much as she can," said Brian Ramirez, a freshman who is on the wrestling and varsity football teams at WSHS.
While the students were thankful for their break, Armijos was thankful that they didn't decide to have a full-on Thanksgiving meal.
"Thanksgiving dinner would have been a real challenge. I'm just glad they decided to order out."

Those who havent filled up their gas tanks in a week or so might be a bit startled when they pull up to the pumps again.
Thats because fuel prices have been surging sharply in recent days, making it particularly painful on the wallet.
Horrific is how Luke Roach, owner of Columbus delivery service Red Racer, describes the much earlier than normal increase in gas prices, which on Tuesday were averaging just under $3.66 per gallon locally.
For those keeping track, thats up more than 8 cents per gallon overnight from Monday, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Its 18 cents a gallon higher than a week ago, and up 41 cents from a month ago. The kicker: The current price is nearly 7 cents higher than this time last year.
It all leaves consumers and business people like Roach scratching their heads, wondering what is happening, and grudgingly dealing with it.
I have to charge a fuel surcharge, and I try to keep it reasonable. The customer cannot absorb the full cost of the gasoline, but you try to alleviate the impact on your bottom line, said Roach, who makes special deliveries locally and afar.
He had been charging a 10 percent markup on the full cost of a trip, but as gas prices have risen, he boosted it to 12 percent. Now Im going to have to go to 15 percent, he said Tuesday.
Various media reports have pegged the current climb in gas prices to several factors Chinas rising consumption of oil, international pressure not to purchase supplies from Iran, and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cutting back production.
Then theres the semiannual reason given by fuel producers, that they are closing refineries to make a seasonal switch in the type of fuel consumers can buy. In this case, the fuel companies are moving from a winter blend to a more ozone-friendly summer blend, with the traditional rise in prices coming a few weeks earlier than in the past.
Where the cost per gallon will peak is often anybodys guess. But the auto club AAA is projecting the pain at the pump will continue to be felt by motorists through March and into April before slowly receding.
Although there are a few factors that could cause oil prices to stabilize this week, its likely gas prices will increase, AAA spokeswoman Jessica Brady said in a fuel price brief issued Sunday. So far market trends and price fluctuations at the pump have been similar to 2011 and 2012, leading analysts to believe prices will peak in April before they retreat.
Theres no consolation in any of that speculation for service station operators like Buddy Helton, who has seen a large piece of his Chevron business dry up in recent weeks.
Theyre not coming in. People have slowed down buying gasoline. Were pumping about 60 percent of what we were doing. Its just been knocked in the head, said Helton, who has been pumping gas locally since 1955, first in Phenix City, then on Victory Drive, and for the last 32 years at the corner of Veterans Parkway and 13th Street.
His station also offers vehicle maintenance and repair service, but that work has not been able to make up the difference in lost fuel sales he has experienced of late.
If people are not buying gasoline, theyre not needing service. And that affects us, too, he said.
For the record, according to AAA, the all-time high for a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Columbus was just under $4.21. That came on Sept. 18, 2008, as the Great Recession was cooling off the U.S. economy.
Here are the average prices per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline Tuesday for several metro areas in Georgia and Alabama:
Albany $3.678
Athens $3.716
Atlanta $3.70
Augusta $3.59
Columbus $3.656
Macon $3.655
Savannah $3.714
Valdosta $3.741
Birmingham $3.579
Huntsville $3.595
Mobile $3.658
Montgomery $3.603
Tuscaloosa $3.566

Here's more proof that the demand – and the stakes – are rising in the Android tablet market. Fuhu Inc., the Los Angeles-area startup behind the hot $199 Nabi childrens' tablet, filed a lawsuit in Southern California court today against former partner Toys "R" Us, which just announced its own kids' tablet.
The El Segundo-based company is accusing the toy retailing giant of wooing Fuhu to sign an agreement to sell the Nabi exclusively through its 1,600 stores and Web site last Christmas, using promises of millions of dollars in marketing and merchadising incentives as inducement.
Despite apparent high demand – Fuhu's complaint alleges that Toys "R" Us internally reported 1,000 Nabi pre-order every 3 hours until it stopped accepting them, and that "demand would support sales of 20,000 NABI units per day on the TRU (Toys "R" Us) website" – Toys "R" Us broke its promises around promoting the Nabi and then ordered "commercially unreasonable" amounts.
(Also read my follow-up blog detailing the background of Fuhu and its pivot from widgets maker to tablet vendor.)
As a result, Toys "R" Us only sold slightly more than 20,000 of the first version of the Nabi tablet last Christmas, said Fuhu CEO, Jim Mitchell, in a phone interview today after the complaint was filed.
"They thought we could do six figures. The question is why they didn't order more," Mitchell said.
(Also check out my post at ZDNet where I go more into the background of Fuhu and how it pivoted from an apps/software maker into the hot tablet upstart it is today.)
The answer, according to Fuhu, was that Toys "R" Us planned all along to launch its own competing tablet, and was getting close to Fuhu in order to study its market research, design and business plans (despite their being shared with Toys "R" Us under NDAs).
That product, the $150 Tabeo, was announced two weeks ago.
"It was simply too much of a wrongdoing for us to ignore," Mitchell said.
(Full disclosure: I was in touch with Fuhu about a forthcoming review of its Nabi tablet when they reached out to me to brief me on their lawsuit. I sent an e-mail to Toys "R" Us spokespeople and they replied that they hadn't seen the lawsuit yet and could not yet comment. I hope to include their comments if and when they arrive.)
The Tabeo includes many of the Nabi's features, including parental controls, kid-engineered user interface, pre-loaded games and educational apps. To be fair, many kids and educational tablets do offer these features in some form.
Moreover, the Tabeo's specs – single-core ARM chip, 800×480 screen – are more typical of other underpowered kid tablets such as Oregon Scientific's MEEP and Techno Source's Kurio, and are vastly inferior to the Nabi, which sports a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset (the same as the Google Nexus tablet).
(Read my interview with the makers of the Kuno, the hottest Android tablet in the education space.)

Does the absence of any finclips on a lake trout mean that some are reproducing naturally?Trout and Salmon - FAQ - WDNR
Not likely, since the number of unclipped fish captured in surveys and documented in the creel survey is very small. The absence of clips is generally due to fish being missed during clipping or from regeneration of fins. A dramatic increase in the number of unclipped fish above historical levels might indicate increased natural reproduction.
