A strong majority of Americans surveyed want teachers to have at least one year's practice time in the classroom and pass a board certification before teaching, according to a new national poll.
The Phi Delta Kappa professional teacher's organization and Gallup released a second batch of their annual survey data Tuesday. The poll surveyed 1,001 adults by phone and has a margin of error of 4.6 percent.
A key Senate lawmaker may put less emphasis on test scores to determine which students qualify for state financial aid for college -- possibly including Bright Futures.
Instead, scholarships and grants would depend more on taking tougher classes in high school.
Most new Palm Beach State College students were going through orientation earlier this month, but Jake Seiler was wrapping up his first three courses.
Despite earning the highest SAT scores of his two siblings -- 1100, on six attempts -- Seiler didn't score high enough this year to earn the Bright Futures Florida Medallion scholarship his older sister got last year.
The Urban League of Miami and the local NAACP want the Miami-Dade school district to stop work on a $1.2 billion bond project to renovate schools and upgrade their technology.
The groups believe black-owned businesses aren't getting a fair chance at school construction projects.
A district review of contracts -- a legal requirement if the district wants to allocate contracts based on race or gender -- re-ignited the long-simmering dispute. The district review found black-owned businesses received a disproportionately larger share of district subcontracts.
University of Miami president Donna Shalala says she's stepping down next year from the job she's held since 2001.
Shalala came to the university after leading the federal health agency for eight years and serving as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
She helped build the national stature of the school's medical school and hospital and increased research budgets.
Frank Nero, former head of the Beacon Council, says even big businessmen were impressed by Shalala
"It was always a big deal," he says.
A program in Miami-Dade County that gives kids and parents free books to keep and read together is in the midst of a big push for donations.
The Read to Learn Books for Free program is having trouble keeping up with demand. The program distributes 3,000 books at more than 30 locations around the county every week in an effort to increase literacy among some of the county's most vulnerable children.
At a Spanish restaurant in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, one of the most powerful women in education, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, pumps up union members by telling them where her career started – the cafeteria.
Lily Eskelsen Garcia is the first Latina elected to lead the nation's largest union – the National Education Association.
Thursday was her fourth day on the job. She started at 6 a.m. with a tour of the Keys by plane. She followed with visits to Allapattah Middle School and Hialeah High School in Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said Florida leaders should rethink the scope and purpose of education testing, and give schools more time to prepare for new math and language arts standards.
Carvalho's proposal was published online and emailed to reporters. Carvalho has also been tweeting excerpts since Monday.
The Lee County school board has reversed its decision to reject state tests, after board member Mary Fischer changed her mind. Last week the board became the first in Florida to refuse to offer state tests to its students on a 3-2 vote.
The testing doesn't stop.
Out of the 180-day academic year, Miami-Dade County schools will administer standardized tests on every day but eight.
Though not every student will take every test, the number and consequences of testing are facing a growing backlash from parents, teachers and even some district officials.
The Miami Dade School Board on Wednesday will approve its assessment schedule for the next school year — a calendar with dozens of different exams that start at preschool and even eat into summer vacation.
On the Intracoastal Waterway near Dania Beach, Ivan Bertaska is getting ready to captain his vessel.
Bertaska wants to check the boat's capabilities by having it speed up and slow down as it carves a wavy wake across the Intracoastal.
"The wave pattern actually gives me a good range of velocities," he says, "so at first we go about two knots and then we get to the top corners where we're making sharp turns and we're going about one knot. So I get a good operational range of the vehicle.
"We get a lot of funny looks from boaters."
Do you have sloppy penmanship? A Florida International University professor's research finds that kids whose writing is easy to read tend to do better in school.
After examining the handwriting of 3,000 preschool students in Miami-Dade County, an FIU study found good handwriting and good grades are related.
FIU early childhood education professor Laura Dinehart focused her study on students from low-income households.
When Florida first approved its private school tax credit scholarship program in 2001, Florida Education Association attorney Ron Meyer said education groups questioned the legality, but no one really objected to helping low-income students get out of low-performing schools.
But then the scholarship program started to grow. Lawmakers approved a law that automatically expanded the program each year. Then earlier this year lawmakers raised the income cap. Now, a family of four earning $62,000 can receive a partial scholarship.
Gov. Rick Scott is ready to take the federal government to court over testing rules for students learning English.
The U.S. Department of Education says Florida must count those students' results after one year in school. Scott and Florida educators want to give students two years to learn English.
Scott said Education Commissioner Pam Stewart will send a letter asking the U.S. Department of Education to reconsider testing rules for students learning English. If they don't change their mind in 30 days, Scott said the state could go to court.
South Florida school boards remain unchanged after Tuesday's election, with incumbents winning in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
That includes Ann Murray, whose use of a racial epithet in 2007 was an issue as she sought reelection to Broward County's school board. Murray narrowly defeated Felicia Mychele Brunson. Four other incumbents won reelection as well.

After a long spell as a series of significantly unappealing bars, it was certainly good news when this poor old Victorian pub was given a new lease of life by the people behind a number of nearby pubs, including the Birdcage (if they're not careful, they're in danger of becoming the Starbucks of the N16 pub scene).

I havent been much involved in this site template stuff recently.. trying to get back into it! but…Are Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal today's top publishing platforms?
Yeah, Wordpress is the main one
Wordpress is seen as a blogging platform although it is pretty adaptable and many sites use it as their main CMS . Drupal and Joomla are known to be harder to customize and are not as popular as Wordpress for blogs.

Trading for picks? Seller beware.
Robert Cleave
February 16 2011 09:46AM
One trade that caught my eye over the last week was the move of Kris Versteeg to the Flyers for two draft picks. I suspect that most people, seeing a Leaf team in the dumper, think that getting a first and third rounder for a second/third line type like Versteeg was a good return. Was it really, though? Pension Plan Puppets has a good look at players drafted in the first round from 1997-2004 here, but I wanted to also look at players of a more recent vintage, as well as having a look at the potential for a payoff from the third rounder.
Flames Best Trades

(Rob Vollman of Hockey Prospectus returns to detail some of the best trade in Flames Franchise history)
As recompense for recently re-visiting the worst trades in Calgary Flames history, here are the best trades in Flames history. They're ranked based on the value of the asset at the time it was acquired, using their combined career GVT from that point forward, regardless if the players were subsequently moved elsewhere.
Postgame: All Too Easy

There wasn't a lot of difficulty in Calgary's 9-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night, and that's just fine for the Flames, as they got back in the win column, and back into the top eight in the Western Conference. It's not like Calgary was channeling the Edmonton Oilers of the 1980's. But they were far and away better than an awful Avalanche team, and the cruised to a regulation win. Happy Valentines Day!

The Calgary Flames are once again on the outside looking in for a Western Conference playoff spot as they got next to no help from surrounding teams over the weekend. Following a 4-2 loss in Vancouver on Saturday night, the Flames get set for another division rival tonight, in the form of the Colorado Avalanche (8 pm, Sportsnet West and Sportsnet Radio FAN 960). The Avs are slumping in a large way, and as the Flames hope to snap a small skid of their own, they can make it nine straight losses for the team in Denver.

Do you have spiders in the house?
I don't mean the occasional spider every few months. It is oh-so annoying to find spiders in any room of the house, and not infrequently either. It's not that we're infested or anything; we live by the woods and it's an older home. Am I being intolerant? I know they're supposed to be beneficial creatures, but I just can't stand 'em! They're in the laundry pile, in closets, in the kitchen in the early mornings. I'm definitely one of these people with the heebie jeebies. We tented our house for termites a couple of years ago, and I hoped that would be the end of them as we knew it -- but no-o-o-o. They're ba-a-ck. Any ideas for a method of ridding our house of these arachnids?
I've had spiders in the house for past couple of years. And they aren't the little ones or the skinny ones with long legs. They are ugly big brown ones that bite. One bite was there for months before going away. UGH. I moved to a house with lots of trees and a damp basement. Worked hard last fews summers to fix the basement and the yard so I'm hoping not to see them any more. I'm also going to spray this year. I hate bug that bite... well probably not as much as flying roaches, but I still hate them. LOL
My finace and I bought our first house last winter. We've come to learn this spring that it had a severe infestation of spiders (especially brown recluse which are poisonous) and ants. Last Saturday I spent a few hours spraying ant trails around my bedroom. (Ewwww!!!) My best recommendation is a professional. Which is exactly who we called. It's going to take a few monthly sprayings, but I'm determined to eliminate them!!
Don't give the spiders any were to hide buy cleaning if it looks clean clean it again when the langery is done fold it right then and vacuum a lot I used to have the most disgusting spider problem and i thought i was anal about being clean but once i clean picked up things off the floor that didn't belong and neating things up it went away by vacuuming your sucking up some of the bugs it eats and if you kill a spider put it in the outside trash because other spiders will come and feed off of it and don't leave food laying around because then other bugs will come and the spiders will eat them.
We have an old house and the basement is full of run-of-the-mill spiders, not many throughout the rest of the original structure - even the attic. But, we also have an addition which tends to have more vibrant arachnid life (for this area - nothing poisonous). We have wolf spiders and jumping spiders and others I've yet to identify. Some are skittish and others are bold. None are too bothersome, though I do "rehome" them to the outdoors whenever I can.
But really, as much as I like them, the jumping spiders are a little freaky - they WATCH you!
I use a dehumidifier in my basement and have seen less centipedes as a result. Spray Windex on your baseboards - it will at least keep centipedes away (though centipedes feed on the spiders - but I'd rather have a spider around than a centipede). Like you, I am terrified of spiders. Call an exterminator, just not those commercial places that charge an arm & a leg.
There is a wealth of free information that most people are totally unaware of.
Almost every state university has what is known as the "Extension Service"
The primary purpose of your state university extension service is to conduct experiments and testing in such areas as soil preparation, soil conservation, crop management, controlling insect pests or wildlife pests etc primarily for agricultural purposes, however they also have extensive libraries of bulletins and factsheets on Lawn & Garden and the Home.
The bulletins and factsheets are downloadable in PDF(Portable Data Format) and do require the Adobe Acrobat Reader program to open the files, however acrobat reader genrally comes prepacked on most computers and if you don't have it there are hundreds of sites where you can download that free as well.
As an Example:
Here is the Home page for Ohio State Univerity Extension:
Here is an Ohio State Univesity Extension "Factsheet" titled:
"Spiders in and around the House"
Free 5PG PDF download
This bulletin has nice colored illustrations of the different types of spiders to aid you in identifying what type your dealing with and they offer complete data on how to resolve the problem.
I personally much prefer the extension bulletins because they offer a complete non-biased fact sheet rather than a long advertising hype trying to get you to buy into a product of service that may or may not work.
We have a lot of spiders, mostly smallish, very fast, black ones. My cat thinks they are delicious.
I was bitten by a brown recluse that hitched a ride in my nephew's toys (they are from down South). Those bites are horrible. I still have a white scar on my hand. It looked like I was burned with a cigarette - round and skin totally gone.
Sue, do you know the name of that black spider?
I sometimes get the plain old slow-moving grey spiders sitting in corners, but this morning a black, very fast spider (about 1/2 inch) tumbled out of my bath towel! Yikes!!!
Aren't those outdoor spiders?
Lotsa spiders in my house, outside, and in detached garage. Not a wooded area, but is "rural" just outside the city limits. Don't know if any are dangerous to humans, haven't had any known incidents thus far (2.5 years). Also lots of ants, fireants, but they tend to stay outside except when seeking higher ground during heavy rains. Had a nest of 'em get into the attic and were coming through the bar and interior wall between kitchen and family room. Exterminator took care of that. Also had fireants in the bed one day, coming through a weep hole and along the wall. Didn't know it until that *evening* when I found them on/under the pillows. Then I realized it had started in the wee-morn hrs because I developed some stings on hand (I typically sleep with one hand folded under the pillow).
I've heard there's nothing can be sprayed as a preventive to keep spiders away, just to kill what's there at the time of spraying. There's a company in this area (I assume it's a national/franchise outfit) called No More Spiders or something like that. It's a spray nozzle system installed under the eaves, porches, patios and so forth, with a supply tank and timer that triggers spraying on whatever scheduled cycle is appropriate (I assume at least every few days).
This has been a bad year for spiders, they seem to like my daughter's room the best. I dust them and their webs off the walls every night. And they come back.
We are on a wooded lot. She is starting to not like to sleep in her room. Hopefully they will end once the cold sets in.
Anyone else have a bad spider year?
I just can't help it - they freak me out. The other day, there was one hiding in the sneaker I left by the front door. Ugh!
There are a variety of them inside, and I know there are black widows outside. This does seem to be a bad year for them.
USE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH!!! It is completely natural & nontoxic & effectiveness lasts forever (as long as the dust doesn't get washed away or it's too damp). It is safe for people & pets if you use the FOOD-GRADE kind of Diatomaceous Earth (NOT the kind that is used in swimming pools). Just sprinkle some of it lightly in areas where the undesired insects are likely to walk through.
D.E. will kill almost ALL insects that encounter it, though, so be careful where you use it--you don't want to damage the environment by killing too many beneficial bugs such as earthworms.
You can find Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth affordably at some feed stores or garden stores ($10 for 1-3 lbs, $50 to 50 lbs at Steve Regan feed & garden stores). You can also buy it online at places like: http://www.earthworkshealth.com/products.php?gclid=COCEjLvhlacCFRQ8gwodmzprcw or http://www.richsoil.com/diatomaceous-earth.jsp

Fitgers Inn: There is only one place to stay in Duluth
The rooms are large and there is a lot to do without ever leaving the buidling. There are art, book and other tourist stores connected to the hotel which is a former brewery. At night there are several really hopping bars down in the basement for all ages and persuasions and most have live music.
The only downside is that their "breakfast bar" in the mornnig is able to sustain life and that is about it. Don't look for good food in the a.m.

Duluth is often a difficult place to just "grab a room" on the fly. Because of the seasonal volume of tourists, rooms are often booked up well in advance. If you are a bit more savvy and don't mind driving a few miles, there are many "mom and pop" motels at more reasonable prices further along the north shore. However, these often fill up fast as well. Most are not advertised on the web.
Hotels are my one and only real complaint
about the Duluth area. In my opinion, most of them are waaaaayyyy too expensive (particularily the "revamped" ones) if
all you want is a good night's sleep and a
hot shower after a busy day of sightseeing. I personally have a tough time advocating spending $100 and up a night when I only need a bed and bathroom. However, obviously people are still filling the rooms up in tourist season. Rates tend to moderate a little in some hotels after the middle of October, but you are entering a month where winter can and sometimes does make itself known.
I encourage you to shop around, plan early, and ask about specials if you are bringing a family. Otherwise accomodations could eat into your budget rather quickly.

Mountain Villa's: Staying for a Week or Longer, Try Mountain Villa's
There are 14 Mountain Villa's on Spirit Mountain. They are condo like accomodations, all with two bedrooms, two baths and a full kitchen/dining plus a living room with pullout sofa bed. They can accomodate up to six people and allow you to do some of your own cooking also. They are completely furnished with towels, cooking utensils and bedding and all tv's, some with vcr's. Most have fireplaces (for winter skiing) and some have jacuzzi's. They also have wrap around decks with full length glass windows throughout. Most are also equipped with gas grills.
Enjoy morning coffee on your deck overlooking the St. Louis Harbor, or grill a steak for dinner. There is a magnificent view from the villa's and they are pretty reasonably priced considering they will accomodate up to six! Plus, you can do a lot of your own cooking, if you wish too.

Indian Point Campground: Camp on a Penninsula at Indian Point Campground!
Indian Point Campground is located in West Duluth across from the Lake Superior Zoo and right next to the start of the Willard Munger Trail. It is on a penninsula, surrounded on three sides by the St. Louis River. It is a beautiful, parklike setting and is kept up nicely. They have about 50 sites, around 10 full hookups that are drive thru sites and the others are mostly just electric.
This is our favorite place to camp in Duluth as it is right in town yet is so peaceful and serene. There is a bath house with coin operated showers and flush toilets; a laundry room; and a camp store with coffee, light groceries, snacks, ice and firewood. They also rent paddleboats and canoes. There is no pool or beach but there is a small playground for the kids. The price is $24 for a full hookup.

Various: A b&b kinda town
Duluth is a place to relax and take things slow. It's a quaint town that screams, "B & B."
My advice is to find a bed and breakfast or a cabin along the North Shore of Lake Superior. If you're coming in the summer time, be sure to book well in advance. Check out the website below.

Adversarial partisan politics has ruined the effectiveness of our parliamentary democracy — and the Tories, as government for the past nine years, bear most of the blame
Kory Teneycke and Dennis Matthews take posts rejoin party fold after helping to found Sun News Network, which went dark last month
Stephen Harper says something unremarkable about guns, and everyone freaks out. The Conservatives' anti-niqab case still doesn't make any sense. Why Justin Bourque's conviction must be appealed. And why we should give into anti-wi-fi nutters just for the heck of it.
The government's own citizenship policy provides a full answer to the identification fear-mongering
Zunera Ishaq explains why she won't unveil just because Stephen Harper thinks she should. Canadian Content rules get a trim — but the CRTC remains a bizarre anachronism. Thomas Mulcair makes his pitch to Torontonians. And you'll never guess what Ontario's thinking of doing...
Cultural angst may have boosted the Conservatives' fortunes, but they may realize there's no long-term benefit to be had. Pro-lifers launch an anti-Trudeau campaign that Trudeau couldn't be happier about. And why anti-vaxxers aren't the biggest problem.
The debate over religious symbols is too nuanced, and too open to misinterpretation and abrupt derailment, to bring anything but grief to any party that pursues it
Most Canadians believe in capital punishment. For some reason, the media are struggling to convince them not to support life imprisonment. Plus: A stirring call for calm in Quebec; vultures circle the Manitoba New Democrats; and the Don't Tax Tampons movement gathers steam.
The stated ambition of many judicial conservatives has been to revive the notwithstanding clause, and thus to re-establish the primacy of Parliament, as they see it
Whether it was premeditated, or simply a rush of blood to the head, Mr. Williamson and the whole Conservative Party have cause to be grateful this didn't happen later

Brook Colangelo, seen here testifying before the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, resigned his White House position in December 2012. (Photo: Office of Rep. Darrell Issa/Flickr)
A former White House IT official – and 2011 Federal 100 winner – has a new gig in the private sector.

The story started ~2-3 years ago. I have bought Nook Tablet and wanted to get root access (to get some nice apps from android market). To get root access I used something like zergRush tutorial os similar. It worked fine until the B&N released new update 1.4.3. I have lost root access. Yet I was able to run already installed apps. It was totally fine with me: ebooks + a few apps from android market.
Yet as I said in the beginning, I could not open ebooks anymore. So I decided to erase & deregister device (and say goodbye to limited root). I clicked it and after Nook restarted the message "Please restart your device and try again...." showed up. After the second restart the message disappeared but Nook was not erased. The same data, the same issue.
Then I decided to google and try to "unbrick" (despite it is not really bricked). I made bootable microSD, and tried loading 1.4.2 factory recovery zip. Everything was fine, I even saw a green checkmark on a screen "Do NOT Turn Off Your Device Installing New Software....". Yet after I ejected microSD and Nook restarted, nothing changed. It was still the same system with exactly the same data.
Next thing that I have tried is to follow steps from github of succulent under acclaim_recovery_sdcard. The same story. After restart Nook always keeps running the same system.
I even formatted the following partitions in one time:
The same system after restart...
Tried to apply root for 1.4.3 and install different rom. The same system as before any manipulations.
How is it even possible?! What should I try next? Any ideas appreciated.

What You Can Expect
Travel to Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the Queen, and walk around in front of the gates to see the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony. Have your camera ready to capture the pomp and pageantry of the Queen's Foot Guard as they march in their eye-catching red tunics and bearskin hats, and then travel by coach to a traditional London pub in Trafalgar Square.
Rest and refuel with a hearty lunch (own expense), and then continue your day of sightseeing with a visit to the City of London, an area just east of the city center where many of London's banks can be found. Besides financial institutions like the Bank of England, the district is also home to iconic London attractions such as St Paul's Cathedral and Mansion House. Look out for the sights as your guide explains their history.
Continue to the Tower of London, and head inside for a walking tour. The former prison and fortress, which looks out over the River Thames, was built to terrify potential invaders and Londoners alike. Steeped in centuries of murder and treason, the tower is fascinating to explore with its famous jet-black ravens and Beefeater guides. On a tour with one of the Beefeaters, hear tragic tales of the royals and nobles who met their end within the tower's walls.
St Paul's Cathedral is closed to the public on Sundays and following dates: December 23 2014, February 4, 18, March 19, April 3 and May 12 2015. On these dates, there will be a photo stop outside the Cathedral and the tour will visit Tower Bridge Exhibition or Banqueting House instead.

I'm building a small game - rock paper scissors.
I have a prototype -
RPSPlayer and I have two kinds of players:
Player1 ,
Player2 (player1 & player2 are objects with a prototype of RPSPlayer) each player plays with the function:
Each player has a different strategy for the game. Thus, I need 2 implementations for
play(). If it was Java, I would create an abstract class
RPSPlayer with an abstract method
play() and 2 other classes which inherit from
RPSPlayer; each of them would have its own implementation for
My question is: what is the correct way to do it in JS? I hope I made myself clear, thanks everyone.

Perumaal 55-60
It was where against Saraswathi
Fought Thee, vanquished Her sent demons
Bloodstained stood Thee where valorously coral
Pavalavalli where with Thee bestowing
To Thou abode that of ThiruPavalaVannam
That befriends PachaiVannan opposite
Hey PavalaVanna, vision, I surrender
56 The decline of Pallavas where Thee revived
Blessed with heir Parameshwara Thine
Then to be domiciled wherefrom Paramapadam
Where with Vaikuntavalli Thee blessing
To Thou abode that of ThiruParameshwaraVinNagaram
That chronicles an aeonian name Sarpa Kshetram
Hey ParamapadaNatha, vision, I surrender
57 Jataayu's end where commiserated by high norms
Created where thence Thee JataayuTheertham
YadavaPrakasa tutored Ramanuja whereat of Advaita
Maragathavalli where with Thee favouring
To Thou abode that of ThiruPutKuzhi
That in espousing alliance with Thee Thirumangai
Hey VijayaRaghava, vision, I surrender
58 Speciality was Thine and Thine split many personae
One such awaited where Mangai's paasuram
Discontent where then for more Piraatti wished
Where with Sudhavalli Thee gracing
To Thou abode that of ThiruNindravoor
That holds for SamudraRaja Thine wedded ataraxia
Hey Bhaktavatsala, Badraavi, vision, I surrender
59 Satiated Thee with Chalihotra's hospitability
Thence where Thee stayed on to bless
Penanced Vasumathi where to wed Thee
Kanakavalli where with Thee blessing
To Thou abode that of Thiruvalloor
That accounts Thine curative Quality
Hey VaidyaVeeraRagava, vision, I surrender
60 For king Sumathi wherefrom Venkatadri victorious
At Brindaaranyam where for Aathreya too
As for Arjuna appeared Thee as ParthaSarathi
Where with Vedavalli Thee favouring
To Thou abode that of Thiruvallikeni
That blooms plentitude in Thine lotus presence

Beans, Beans, and more beans !!
What can you do with beans other than chilli and baked beans. I recently bought some lentils and wondered what to do with them. Is there any such casseroles?? I love onedish ideas.Thanks a bunch.
Lori: Try the site below. Gives you a number of links related to lentils. Ann
Here is a link that might be useful: Lentil links
I just posted this under another soup post. This was served outdoors at a recent trailride. The lady made it in a black iron pot. It simmered covered over the campfire.
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can yellow and white corn
1 can black beans
1 can chopped tomatoes (I like with green chilles)
1 can rotel
1 package taco seasoning
small amt chopped onions
She served with shredded cheese and cornbread.
My family loves my Split Pea Soup! I serve it with a loaf of homemade bread from the bread machine. Enjoy!
Split Pea Soup
1 lb. green split peas
1 lb. carrots cut and peeled
3-4 stalks celery
5 cups water
1 ham bone
1 tsp. salt
soak peas over night, drain and rinse.
Combine all ingredients together in large pot on stove. Bring to boil and simmer until tender, a couple hours.
Mash together (remove ham bone first) or put through sieve.
You could make lentil soup.
Or, cook the lentils in chicken or veggie stock just until tender and serve them as a side dish, like you would rice. I saute chopped onions, celery, carrots, and garlic until translucent. Add the uncooked lentils and stir to coat. Pour chicken or veggie stock over that, and cook until the lentils are tender, but not falling apart. The different colour lentils have different cooking times (some cook faster than others) so keep your eye on it.
I have done the above for all types of beans, just keep in mind that some beans take longer to cook than others. When using regular beans, I cover them with water and boil them for an hour, drain, then do the above (or soak them overnight). I have found if I start with stock, the salt keeps the beans from getting tender.
You could add these cooked seasoned beans to a lot of things too. Mexican style food, soups, rice dishes, even egg dishes and pasta!
I have never tried this one, but I posted it in response to a request on another board.
Susan Powter cook book
Herbed Lentil Casserole
3/4 cup uncooked lentils
2 2/3 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/4 cups white wine
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in an ungreased casserole dish. Bake uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It should be moist but not runny.

In greek cooking we make a very simple and tasty soup with brown lentils:
Boil the lentils with chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper and a pinch of oregano, maybe a clove of garlic or two. When tender, add s&p, some tomato puree (don't make it too red) and a little olive oil and continue simmering until it thickens a bit.
When served, we add a bit of vinegar in the bowl (just a little).
It is nice with croutons or just some toasted bread and black olives.
The traditional seasoning is bay leaf but I don't like it. Some people even add chopped carrot and celery, but this is better for white bean soup.
Maria in Greece
I always have some cooked beans on hand.
I cook them in a slow cooker and keep in the
fridge for quick meals. If I have too much,
I will freeze portions.
I also have brown rice (usually seasoned
with parsely) cooked in the fridge or
in indiv portions in the freezer.
I don't like brown rice very much if
it is fresh cooked. It is always best
when it is reheated after being frozen or
I've used this simple recipe with nearly every
kind of bean and it is always good.
Makes one hearty serving.
1 cup rice cooked
1 cup cooked lentils (or garbanzos or black beans or lima)
kosher salt
shallots chopped (to your taste- I use 2)
a nice handful of cilantro (to your taste)
olive oil drizzled
parmesan cheese - 2 or 3 tablespoons on top
combine all ingredients
microwave on high for 2 - 4 minutes depending
on your microwave.
This is good to take in a plastic container
to work to be heated at lunch.
Wilted lettuce/bean salad
Another way is to make a nice green salad
of lettuce/tomatoes/shallots/mushrooms and all
that you like in a salad. Toss with salad dressing.
Heat 1 cup cooked lentils (seasoned with salt
and pepper)
Add heated lentils to top of chilled lettuce salad
top lentils with parmesan or romano cheese and serve
(croutons are nice too if you have them)
(You can add a little extra olive oil to the lentils
depending on how you cooked them).
I love the combination of chilled lettuce
and warm beans. Try it, you'll like it.
I'd make Dal, an Indian Lentil dish... here's a recipe I haven't tried, but looks good: Dal Recipe
I also make soups, or add them to soups. Last night the restaurant we went to for Turkey also had salmon on a bed of lentils - I don't have the recipe but it sure looked good.
I also love cooking canned cannellini beans... just throw the can and juice in a saucepan on low with garlic (and a bit of italian spices if you like) until it's the consistency you like... we like it pretty mushy. When cooled you can use it as a dip

American Gangster, the well-received cop/gangster movie starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, is now out on DVD. The movie is pretty good, though I'd say it's a bit overrated.

4 Claims.
The invention has for an object to present a novel improvement in devices for attaching wires to supports, and while in its present embodiment it is especially valuable and adapted to use in applying wires to conventional metal fence posts now largely used, in either of two forms which are principally used, one form being T-shaped in cross section, and the other L-shaped in cross section, it is an important aim of this invention to provide a wire fastener for posts and the like which may be put inplace without the use of fastenings, and which will be retained in place with great certainty and security.
It is a particular aim of the invention to present a device by which the wires may be secured thereto without the use of fastenings, but utilizing the normal tension upon such wires to cause them to retain their place securely to the support, and to present a novel method of attaching the wires to such support.
A further important aim of the invention is to present an article which is especially valuable in mounting wires which require to be insulated for charged fence elements. A still further important aim of the invention is to enable the production of such an article at extremely low cost, and so constructed as to require a minimum of time and effort in its placement upon a fencepost, and for the attachment of wires thereto.
A further important aim is to present such an article which will be liable in a minimum degree to damage or deterioration incident to rough usage and weather conditions.
A further important aim is to present such an article which, while being entirely removed in case of need for changing location of a post or the like, or in case it is to be re-used in other places or for other construction.
Additional objects, advantages and features of invention reside in the construction, arrangement and combination of parts involved in the embodiment of the invention, as will be more readily understood from the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is an elevational view of the article applied to a T-shaped fence post.
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 oi Fig. 1.

Figure 6 is a cross section thereof taken on the line 66 of Figure 5.
Figure '7 is a front elevation of a still further application of the device to a further form of post.
Figure 8 is a, cross section on the line 8-8 of Figure 7.
Figure 9 is an elevation of the device applied to a further form of fence post.
- Figure 10 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 11 is a cross section on the line ll-H of Figure 9.
Figure 12 is an elevation of the device applied to a still further form of post.
Figure 13 is a side elevation thereof, partly in section.
Figure 14 is a cross section on the line i i-hi of Figure 12.
Figure 15 illustrates an instrument and manner of procedure in applying the wire to my support after its application to a post or the like.
Figure 16 is a top plan view of a further form of support.
Figure 17 is a cross section on the line 11-41 of Figure 16.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, there is shown an attachable bracket in, adapted to be applied to conventional metal fence posts. It consists of an elongated fiat metal strap-like body, which in Figures 1 to 13 has edges H and H and respective extremities I2, which are slightly reduced in width and tapered. The edge H is formed with an exterior tongue 13 to one side E3 of the vertical medial axis forming a recess l4. Midway of the strip at one side 13a, a bracket lug i5 is positioned which is extended from the surface of the bracket piece substantially at right angles, and in the present instance is shown as being substantially cylindrical. At a distance from the body plate i ll the lug is formed with small jaws it, having parallel sides spaced apart to form a vertical slot ii therebetween, the jaws being offset from each other beside the slot so that the bases it of the jaws are also spaced from a transverse or horizontal line, in order that the one at the right in Figure l is above such horizontal line, while the one at the left is below. Formed on each jaw there is a projecting bill N3, the one on the right extending downwardly, while the one at the left extends upwardly, these being spaced outwardly of the lu i5. so that a space I9 is formed under each of the jaws l8, adapted to receive and support a wire substantially as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. Regarding the device from the front as viewed in Figure 1, the
body portion ill of the bracket extends diagonally with respect to the horizontal, at an angle which may be in the neighborhood of forty-five degrees, or may be more or less. The extremities 12 of the body of the bracket are bent in a direction away from the lug I5 on vertical lines, and at a distance from the plane of the body portion In adjacent the lug, they are again bent, on parallel lines so as to extend inwardly under the body portion of the bracket, and diagonally, forming two retaining tongues 20, a space 2011 between these tongues and the body portion of the bracket It) being sufiicient to accommodate snugly the flanged portions of conventional fence posts, such as indicated at 2|, in Figure 1, which is a T- shaped section of rolled stock, having longitudinally spaced slots 22 in staggered relation on the head portion of the T-section, which have been heretofore used for receiving wire fasteners of various kinds. It should be noted that the tongue members 20 are extended diagonally and thelr edges trimmed so as to be spaced from each other sufficiently to permit the entrance therebetween by translative movement of the bracket at right angles to the post of the broad head portion 23, as dotted in Figure 1. It will be seen that as viewed from the front, the points of the tongues 20 of the bracket extend in a counter-clockwise direction while the bills l8 on the jaws It at the outer ends of the lugs l5, when viewed in the same direction, extend in a clockwise direction, which is an important detail, effecting the function of the device in its automatic retention upon a post, and in retaining an engaged wire, as will appear hereinafter. It should also be noted that the bends of the respective end portions of the tongue members 20 are so spaced from the corresponding bends of the opposite end portions that the head portion 23 of the post such as shown in Figure 1, may be inserted therebetween so as to lie parallel to the bends of the end portions of the bracket and closely adjacent thereto, as shown.
Reference is now made to Figure 4, wherein, it will be seen that the lug I5 has embedded or molded therein a square-headed bolt 24, located medial thereof upon the side opposite the jaws IS, the bolt having a reduced end 25 complemental to an opening 26 formed in the bracket plate Ill. The end of the bolt is peened or upset so as to securely retain the lug I5 to the plate.
In the use of the device as described, in order to apply a bracket to a post T-shaped in cross section, as in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the lug portion I5 is grasped in the hands and the bracket presented toward the outer side of the head portion 22 of the post, the axis of the lug normal to the plane of the head 23, and the bracket moved translatively toward the post, with the tongues 20 positioned so as to pass on each side of the post, the device being rotated if necessary, so as to afford the necessary clearance for this movement, so that the head portion 23 may engage against the under side of the body of the bracket Ill. The bracket is then rotated counter-clockwise, and if necessary, the tongues 20 may be driven inwardly so as to engage under the flanges of the head 22 by means of a hammer or the like. If necessary, to prevent the bracket from slipping downwardly upon the post, a stud device 21 may be engaged in one of the slots customarily formed in such posts, so that the lower edge of the bracket It] may rest against the stud. In order to mount a wire in the device, the wire previously strung and taut, is brought into position in front of the device on the post, that is, outwardly of the lug I5 or bills l8, and then pressure applied p n the wire upwardly at the left and downwardly at the right, at spaced points adjacent the lug l5, so that the intervening portions between these points of pressure, is caused to extend diagonally substantially as shown in Figure 15, so that it may then be pressed inwardly between the jaws l6 into the space H. After it passes inwardly of the bills l8, the pressure upon the wire is relieved and its tension will then cause it to straighten out, and engage under the bills l8 and against the respective lugs 16, engaging upwardly against the one at the right, and downwardly against the one at the left, thus tending to rotate the bracket in a counter-clockwise direction, which is the direction required to apply the tongues 20 in proper engagement behind the head portion 23 of the post, and retaining the bracket securely in proper engagement with the post, as well, as holding the wire in place, as will be understood.
In Figures 5 and 6 there is shown a form of post commercially available, in which a T-shaped section is involved, but upon the outer face of the head portion 23', corresponding to the head portion 23, before mentioned, a series of small knobs or teeth 28 are formed, spaced longitudinally of the post, so that when my bracket is applied with its central portion disposed against the head portion and come to rest upon a knob, it
' will be supported against downward vertical movement.
In Figures '7 and 8, there is illustrated another type of post with which my invention may be used without modification from the first described form, this post being customarily formed with an L-angle shape in section, and with a plurality of longitudinal slots 29 spaced longitudinally of the post, and formed closely adjacent the base of one of the flanges of the post material. Customarily, the tongues 20 of my bracket are of a thickness to pass readily into the slots. Also, the flange portions of this tvpe of post are customarily of the same width as the head portion 23 of the post first described, and consequently, by presenting my bracket device with the axis of the lug l5 normal to the unslotted flange 30 of the last mentioned post, in the same way that it is presented toward the head 23 of the first described post, one of the tongues 20 may be positioned so as to enter one of the slots 29, and by then rotating the device counter-clockwise, as before, the tongues may be caused to enter such slot, at the same time as the tongue on the opposite end of the bracket is caused to engage under the free edge of the flange 30, thus securing the device upon the post, substantially in the same manner as it is secured upon the T-shaped post, but requirin no fastening device or knobs to prevent its slipping on the post. The application of the wire to the device is then carried out in the same manner as firs described.
In Figures 9, 10 and 11, the bracket is shown as supported by knobs 28' medially of the post, the bracket being in reversed position from that shown in Figure 1, so that the recess I4 receives the knob 28 for secure support of the bracket.
In Figures 12, 13 and 14, a similar form of the bracket is shown, with the exception that the tongue portions 20' are turned in a clockwise direction under the body portion of the bracket, 50 that when it is applied to a post, it is necessary to rotate it clockwise, instead of counterclockwise, as in the first described form. The direction of extension of these tongues and 20' is discretionary, and may be adapted to the requirements of particular uses. There is also illustrated the expedient of utilizing an aperture 31 in the medial portion of the bracket near the lug l5, and in the type of post shown at 32, in Figure 12, where a multiplicity of staggered longitudinally spaced slots 33 are formed in the post, a pin 34 may be engaged through the aperture 3| and through one of the slots 33 to prevent vertical slippage or rotation of the bracket on the post in the application, as indicated.
In Figures 16 and 17 the bracket III-a is shown as formed entirely of porcelain, as an integral body, the parts otherwise being the same as previously described.
In order to facilitate the application of the wire, as described and illustrated in Figure I have provided a tool 35, which may be formed integrally from sheet metal, to provide a handle portion and spanner arms 36 extended sufficiently to pass on each side of the lug IS on one of my brackets and spaced from the lug somewhat, one of these arms having an inturned hook 31 at its extremity, while the other is bent inwardly flat upon itself a short distance and then recurved outwardly, to present a saddle recess at 38, in which the wire may be engaged. In order to use this appliance, the bracket having been applied to the post, and the wire strung at the proper tension, the hook 31 is engaged over the wire at the right-hand side of the lug IS in the first described form of the device, with the handle pendant, and with the saddle portion 38 below the wire, it is then rotated in a clockwise direction, so that the saddle portion will press upwardly against the wire, and the movement continued, so that the wire intervening between the two arms 36 will be rotated on an axis coincident with the axis of the lug I5 until this rotated part of the wire may be pressed inwardly into the space I! between the lugs 16, after which the tool is released, so that the wire straightens itself by its inherent tension and fits itself under the bills l8 and against the lugs l6, as before described, so as to retain the wire in place and also press the bracket device into proper engagement with the post. The same tool may be used where the left-hand type of bracket shown in Figure 12, except in this case the hook portion is engaged over the left-hand part of the wire, and the saddle portion engaged upwardly against the wire at the right, and the intervening portion of the wire rotated counter-clockwise. It will be understood that in the left-hand type of bracket, the tongue 20' being extended in a clockwise direction, the bills l8 of the device and the lugs l5 upon which they are formed, have an arrangement the reverse of that in the first described form, so that these bills project in a counter-clockwise direction instead of the clockwise direction involved in the device as shown in Figures 1 to 9, and 15.
customarily, wire for telephone and telegraph would be insulated where it is applied to fences and the like, and in such event the whole device may be formed of metal, if desired. Other expedients for insulating or facilitating production of the article may be carried out as found desirable, as may be readily understood.
While I have disclosed my invention with great particularity, in the best forms known to me, it will nevertheless be understood that this is purely exemplary, and that various changes in construction, arrangement and combination of parts, substitution of materials and substitution of equivalents, mechanical and otherwise, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention except as may be more specifically indicated in the appended claims, wherein:
I claim:
1. A device for mounting wires and the like on supports comprising a base member having offset, inturned tongue portions extending inwardly in opposite directions, and in spaced relation to receive the support therebetween and for rotation in the direction of projection of said tongues to engage the same with the support, and a Wirereceiving member at the side of said base portion opposite said tongues, said wire-receiving portion having also correspondingly spaced bills projected in opposite directions for engagement with a wire laid therebetween by relative rotative movement in a direction opposite the said movement for engagement of said tongues with the support.
2. The structure of claim 1 in which said base member is a substantially fiat member having the inturned tongue portions bent in toward one side thereof on parallel lines and then inwardly in spaced relation with the base member extending diagonally with respect to said lines, whereby t0 lie in spaced relation for reception of a support therebetween.
3. The structure of claim 1 in which said wire supporting member consists of 2. lug body projected outwardly from said base member and having outwardly projected jaw portions spaced apart substantially more than the diameter of the wire to be engaged and supported, in one direction, and in a direction at right angles to the first named direction spaced apart a distance closely corresponding to the diameter of the wire to be engaged, and having the spaced bills projected from said jaw transverse to the last mentioned direction, for the purposes described.
4. The structure of claim 1 in which said base member is formed with an exterior tongue adja cent its middle part at one side, to extend verti cally close beside and engage support for reception of a support lug therebeside to oppose rotation of the device in the direction of release.

From time to time, I am posting my thoughts on particular Shakespeare Sonnets. For now, I am proceeding in order.
Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye
That thou consumest thyself in single life?
Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
The world will wail thee, like a makeless wife;
The world will be thy widow and still weep
That thou no form of thee hast left behind,
When every private widow well may keep
By children's eyes her husband's shape in mind.
Look what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it;
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,
And kept unused, the user so destroys it.
No love toward others in that bosom sits
That on himself such murderous shame commits.
As in the previous Sonnets, the voice of the narrative is imploring the Fair Youth to marry and have children. The subject of all this attention is initially questioned. Does he fear that he will leave someone a widow if he marries and then dies? The Fair Youth is next lectured that he will be depriving the world of the continuation of his own beauty should he die without progeny. We have heard similar arguments before in this sequence of poems.
The last two lines of this Sonnet catch my attention.
No love toward others in that bosom sits
That on himself such murderous shame commits.
I like these lines from an aesthetic perspective, but they seem to be introducing something new into the Sonnets. The words seem a little angry, and perhaps they are even a little desperate. By this time in the sequence of Sonnets, the voice of the poem has used all sorts of arguments and devices to try to convince his subject to marry and have children. These lines may indicate a certain level of frustration.
Shakespeare's motivation for writing these Sonnets has puzzled people for generations. I myself have ruminated upon these motivations in my previous posts. Regardless of the question of whether Shakespeare was trying to speak for himself here or not, this turn into what appears to be slightly exasperated language seems to further illustrate that the poet has created a multifaceted character in the voice of the poem. There are indeed many sides to this speaker.
As I have explored in previous posts, this unseen narrator is capable of sublime language, humor and allegories that range from the common to the clever to the soaring. Now, if I am reading this accurately, a little bit of vexation has been infused.
My commentary on additional Sonnets:

Education Programs
Chance Theater is excited to announce the launching of our new Education Program. It is our belief that theater can help instill the skills (effective communicators, adaptable problem solvers, creative contributors) that are necessary to create compassionate, innovative, and resilient individuals ready to connect and contribute to their communities. In addition, we believe that theater can help expand the student's world view, and give them insight on how they can help initiate thoughtful dialogue through their art.
Studies show that developing "21st Century Skills," which include problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, dealing with ambiguity and complexity, integration of multiple skill sets, and the ability to perform cross-disciplinary tasks, is in decline due to the loss of many arts programs in schools. By teaching these skills to our students, they will personally benefit and, ultimately, our community will benefit ten-fold as they mature and join the workforce with these skills.
Saturday, March 21
Join us for Education Day, a one-day open house event that gives an opportunity to our teacher-artists to introduce themselves and give you more insight to the philosophy and style of our program.
