Riptide Quick Start GuideIntroductionThis document provides a brief summary of information that you'll need to know to quickly get started working on Riptide. For more detailed information, see the Riptide User Guide. Get a Kerberos TicketFor security purposes, you must have a current Kerberos ticket on your computer before attempting to connect to Riptide. A Kerberos client kit must be installed on your desktop to enable you to get a Kerberos ticket. Information about installing Kerberos clients on your Windows desktop can be found at the HPC Centers: Customer Service Connect to RiptideRiptide can be accessed via Kerberized ssh as follows:
Login nodes are shared access points for Riptide. Therefore, users should not run resource intensive processes on these nodes. MHPCC reserves the right to kill user processes without notice that may be affecting primary access functionality of the login nodes. In accordance with HPCMP policy, users are limited to 24 hour session lifetimes. After 24 hours users will be automatically logged out and will need to re-login to the cluster. Home, Working, and Center-Wide DirectoriesEach user has file space in the $HOME, $WORKDIR, and $CENTER directories. The $HOME, $WORKDIR, and $CENTER environment variables are predefined for you and point to the appropriate locations in the file systems. You are strongly encouraged to use these variables in your scripts. NOTE: $WORKDIR is a "scratch" file system, and $CENTER is a center-wide file system that is accessible to all center production machines, including the Utility Server. The $WORKDIR file system is not backed up. You are responsible for managing files in your $WORKDIR directories by backing up files to the archive system and deleting unneeded files. Currently, $WORKDIR files that have not been accessed in 60 days are subject to being purged. Transfer Files and Data to RiptideFile transfers to DSRC systems must be performed using Kerberized versions of the following tools: scp, ftp, sftp, and mpscp. For example, the command below uses secure copy (scp) to copy a local file into a destination directory on a Riptide login node. % scp local_file riptide.mhpcc.hpc.mil:/target_dirFor additional information on file transfers to and from Riptide, see the File Transfers section of the Riptide User Guide. Submit Jobs to the Batch QueueThe Portable Batch System (PBS Professional ™) is the workload management system for Riptide. To submit a batch job, use the following command: qsub [ options ] my_job_scriptwhere my_job_script is the name of the file containing your batch script. For more information on using PBS or on job scripts, see the Riptide User Guide, the Riptide PBS Guide, or the sample script examples found in the $SAMPLES_HOME directory on Riptide. Batch QueuesThe following table describes the PBS queues available on Riptide:
Monitoring Your JobYou can monitor your batch jobs on Riptide using the qpeek or qstat commands. The qstat command lists all jobs in the queue. The "-u username" option shows only jobs owned by the given user, as follows: % qstat -u user1 Req'd Req'd Elap Job ID Username Queue Jobname SessID NDS TSK Memory Time S Time ----------- -------- -------- --------- ------ --- --- ------ ----- - ----- 64485.riptide user1 backgrou tw2 14658 1 1 -- 12:00 R 01:12 64495.riptide user1 standard 45dh8 21308 2 1 -- 02:00 R 00:22 64513.riptide user1 challeng inspect -- 16 256 -- 06:00 Q -- Notice that the output contains the JobID for each job. This ID can be used with the qpeek, qstat, and qdel commands. To delete a job, use the command "qdel jobID". To view a partially completed output file, use the "qpeek jobID" command. Saving Your WorkWhen your job is finished, you should archive any important data to prevent automatic deletion by the purge scripts. Copy one or more files to the archive system Copy one or more files from the archive system For more information on archiving your files, see the Archive Guide. ModulesSoftware modules are a very convenient way to set needed environment variables and include necessary directories in your path so that commands for particular applications can be found. Riptide uses "modules" to initialize your environment with COTS application software, system commands and libraries, compiler suites, environment variables, and PBS batch system commands. A number of modules are loaded automatically as soon as you log in. To see the modules that are currently loaded, run "module list". To see the entire list of available modules, run "module avail". You can modify the configuration of your environment by loading and unloading modules. For complete information on how to do this, see the Modules User Guide. Available SoftwareA list of software on Riptide is available on the software page. Advance Reservation ServiceA subset of Riptide's nodes has been set aside for use as part of the Advanced Reservation Service (ARS). The ARS allows users to reserve a user-designated number of nodes for a specified number of hours starting at a specific date/time. This service enables users to execute interactive or other time-critical jobs within the batch system environment. The ARS is accessible via most modern web browsers at https://reservation.hpc.mil/. Authenticated access is required. Windows Internet Explorer users may authenticate with either CAC or YubiKey. Non-Windows users must use YubiKey. An ARS User's Guide is available online once you have logged in. |

The American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR) issued a press release last week to announce their new estimates of cancer cases directly associated with obesity. Several sources of information were used to determine these estimates, including a 2009 report, Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention, published by AICR and the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) that estimated the percentage of cancers due to poor diet, excess weight and physical activity level. You can read the full Policy Report and Expert Report HERE.
Overall, this report indicated that 17% (33,000 cases) of breast cancer cases each year are due to being overweight. That is a huge proportion of breast cancer cases that could have been preventable by simply maintaining a healthy body weight. Other findings included:

CORPUS CHRISTI — Concerns about travel sales promotions, safely selling old coins and service dog etiquette emerged last week.
Beware of big top antics if you signed up for a free cruise drawing at the recent circus.
A promotion company was quick to call with a hard sell approach after a woman signed up for the drawing and provided her phone number when registering, she wrote in an email.
Online scam reporting sites are rich with travel industry warnings, noting many with names that combine the words "discount," "travel" and "world." Many postings insist solicitation practices include asking for charge card numbers. The state of Florida filed charges in October against an owner of a Tampa-based company sporting these three words in its name, as well as complaints being filed at Better Business Bureaus in multiple states.
However replace the word "travel" with "vacations" and there's a reverse twist. Discount World Vacations Inc., based in Hollywood, Fla., has an "A" rating with the bureau for its 75 complaint resolutions the past three years, with 67 of them being for sales or product issues.
Seeking travel discounts under the big top may not be the best place and always be cautious about providing your personal information in a promotional at any event.
Joyce Binns asked advice for safely selling old coins after seeing several recent ads.
She's older, lives alone and was afraid to invite a stronger into her home.
Smart thinking Joyce.
Troubleshooter forwarded her address and phone contact information for two Corpus Christi gold/coin buying businesses that maintain retail space, with the advice that she call first to provide details about the coins she wants to sell to compare price offers. Then Troubleshooter recommended she not visit them alone.
With prices for precious metals high in recent months, many people are looking to turn a few valuables at a profit, making it especially important to shop smart before you sell.
Barbara Spear, of Rockport, wanted help with folks wanting to warm up to her service dog, Pip.
"Most people we encounter are very nice but have absolutely no idea how to respond to a service animal," Spear said.
She has had people try to stop Pip in the middle of streets while trying to guide her safely across, she said.
"This can get us injured or killed," Spear said.
She recently was upset when a man in an apartment complex parking lot let his small dog on a long leash get under Pip's stomach and bite at her feet.
"I kept telling Pip 'forward, forward,' and the man didn't stop his small dog, so I had to start telling that dog, 'no,'" Spear said. "It was scary, and I was in the middle of a driveway unable to see obstacles."
Here's two simple rules provided by www.guidedogs.com:
Don't distract a service dog while working. If its wearing a harness its working, even if seated waiting.
Talk to the owner, not the dog.

Planet Guard Missile Ship
Rate it
Add a comment
Zoom in
This is my first space ship of Planet Guard. This ship has one ion cannon, two plasma cannons, two fusion cannons, four anti-space craft cannons, two, concussion missiles, two torpedo missiles, two proton missiles and six flick missiles. This ship is not really fast but has a strong fire power.
About this creation
A view form the front.
A view from the back.
There is a small hanger bay where one scout fighter can land.
This is a Bridge with a General and two pilots.
This is inside of the Bridge
This is the detailing of the roof of the Bridge.
The gray thing with red plate at the front is the fusion cannon. It is the most powerful weapon this battleship has.
This is inside of the missile ship. I know I could've improved the interior but it's a small ship (It's the biggest I can build and it's the biggest I've ever built... I mean, how can you build such a big ship, like 10 A-wing fighters going in???) so I could not really put big things in it...
This is a middle section of the ship. It's kinda like a weapon storage room.
This is a Hanger bay. with one scout fighter. I made the scout fighter 1 stud wide shorter than last time in the base because it didn't fit...
The black thing at the right is an ion cannon
This is how it looks without the light green stand and light blue stand... (instead, with me...)
They are the crews, from the right; General, Pilot(sergeant), Pilot(sergeant), Pilot(Specialist), Soldier(Sergeant), Commando, Commando and fusion cannons behind.
Thank you very much for looking at my creation, please rate and comment.

While big Lego ships are very impressive, its the ones like this that can catch your attention; small, neat, and well detailed. Funny, it reminds me of my style of ships, just red and white over blue and white...and black, and with a bridge like that, as well as the wings and the cannon on top, it's very similar to either my Britannic Darkstar and Rogue Star. Not that I'm telling you to look, but if you'd compare yours with mine, you may see the similarities. Argh, thats a long review =P

This is pretty cool! I've always been a fan of big ships (as in, anything bigger than my Phoenix or Ferocor Testarossa) and a tad envious of anybody who builds one. Anyway, I think the wings could use a little more greebling -something to give them more substance. The hanger bay is a neat aspect. Over all, I really like this MOC ^^

It was just a simple strike mech so it wasn't supposed to have much weaponry. BTW I'm terrible at frigates so I suppose you learn how to build things from what you buy because I usually go after medium and small sets (mechs when I can) not the big huge ones. (Although big huge mechs I definitely go after!)

Larenim Mineral Airbrush™ Pressed Foundation 3-WM -- 9 g
Full coverage makeup
Full coverage, goes on smooth, a true medium beige color. For the most part stays on good.
February 14, 2014
Great mineral makeup
Great makeup that covers some flaws on your skin. I love that it does not have all the nasty chemicals that store brand powder you can buy.
February 12, 2014
Wow - so impressed!
This makeup is fabulous. The coverage is excellent and the color ended up being just perfect. I had a hard time choosing - but I'm glad I chose 3WM. I have medium, slightly olive skin and tan easily. I found the powder compact slightly hard to open, but the makeup itself is great. It has good coverage (can be applied lighter) but doesn't look too makeup-y. Instead, it sort of gives an airbrushed look. I've been using 100% percent pure powder foundation which is messy, gets used up quickly, and doesn't have great coverage. This one is so much better! I used Laura Geller baked foundation before that, and in addition to it having better ingredients, the Larenim is just better overall! Yay!
January 15, 2014
Great coverage
I love this mineral makeup. I've tried the loose mineral powder you have to put on with a brush, (what a pain and a mess), but when I discovered this in a compact, I switched and have never looked back. I've been using this makeup for several years now. I have acne prone skin, and this makeup does not irritate it or make me break out at all. It helps hide my existing scars well and evens out my skin tone beautifully. As someone more conscious of the chemicals in products and what I put on and in my body, I am so happy to have found a product without parabens and talc and other unnecessary ingredients and chemicals. I highly recommend this to anyone.
November 14, 2013
My daughter and I both luv this foundation. Goes on smooth and covers well. We luv how it wears all day and how it feels on our skin. It has great ingredients. I don't see myself ever switching!

Dangerous thunderstorms spawned tornadoes, lightning, and hail Friday across much of Alabama, killing one person, injuring several others and destroying dozens of homes. The Tallapoosa Sheriff's Department confirmed at least one person dead and two others injured in the storm at a house along Highway 49 in the Dadeville area.
Five people were hurt Friday morning when an EF-1 tornado struck Madison County near Huntsville. The storm destroyed 25 homes and damaged 50 other homes and four schools.
Another storm in Limestone County destroyed 15 homes and damaged 100 more. The storm also caused damage to the Limestone Correctional Facility, a state prison. Friday night, a tornado was reported in central Alabama. Damage from the storm was reported in several locations across Dallas, Perry, Autauga and Chilton counties.
A tornado may have touched down in the Verbena and Mountain Creek communities in Chilton County. No one was injured in the Chilton County storms, but at least six homes in the Verbena area were damaged. One woman was rescued from being trapped in an upper floor of her home. Rescue workers were able to quickly get her to safety. Downed trees in the area blocked at least one road but the roads in Chilton County are now clear, according to the Chilton County sheriff.

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page!
As most of you know, my son Anthony was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last year. This has changed our lives. Every day we face challenges due to this illness and will do whatever we can to get to a world without this disease.
We're taking steps to help JDRF progressively remove the impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) from people's lives until no one has to fear developing this disease. By joining our Walk to Cure Diabetes team and making a donation to JDRF, you'll raise money to help fund critical T1D research and create a world without T1D.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
The challenge we've set ourselves - to raise money for JDRF and to walk - is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us? Just click on the "Join this Team" button, make a donation, and start fundraising.
Thank you for your support, and we'll see you on Walk day!

Michael Jackson Auction Raises $5 Million, Lady Gaga Buys 55 Items
December 3rd, 2012 11:07am EST
A Michael Jackson auction raised a staggering $5 million dollars for charity - and Lady Gaga was a big spender.
Items ranging from the jacket Jackson wore on the cover of his Bad album to his famous crystal-encrusted gloves went under the hammer. The jacket sold for $250,000 and the gloves hit $100,000 a piece.
According to Rolling Stone, pop star Lady Gaga was the high bidder on 55 items. She said the items will be "archived and expertly cared for in the spirit and love of Michael Jackson, his bravery and fans worldwide."
Some proceeds from the auction will be given to several charities, such as Guide Dogs of America and Nathan Adelson Hospice of Las Vegas.

Beets, Carrots and Japanese Beetles
1 Comment | Posted July 19, 2012 by The Farmer
Beets Are Ready
Beets are ready! We've had beets with two meals now. The first time I broiled them with crushed garlic and olive oil. The second time Caroline made glazed beets.
We've been picking only as many beets as we were ready to eat, in hopes that the remaining beets will grow larger.
Sweet Carrots!
The carrots are doing very well this year. I think it's because 1) I tilled the ground as deep as possible and 2) we watered them regularly. Only a few of the carrots have peaked above the soil, so I think they'll probably keep growing.
Fresh carrots are so much sweeter and good smelling than store bought carrots, the kids love them.
Evil Japanese Beetles
Japanese beetles have been attacking some of my plants. They've done minor damage do our wild strawberries, but what they seem to like best is the Catawba grape plant. They have left the Concord and Valiant grapes nearly untouched.
Here's one of the worst Catawba leaves.
The presence of Leaf Galls seems to indicate that we've got Phylloxera too.
Between the Phylloxera, Japanese Beetles and black rot I feel very fortunate to be able to post a picture like this.
They're not ripe yet, but they're getting close. They're sweet enough to eat if you don't mind puckering up a little bit. I suspect they'll be better next week.
Happy Gardening!

Maternity Costumes 14 Creative Costumes For Expectant Mamas by POPSUGAR Moms 10/28/12 4 Reactions 120 Shares Print 12 78 30 0 0 It's time to play dress up your bump! Halloween might normally be all about the cute kiddie costumes, but pregnant ladies have an awfully fun — and relatively rare — opportunity to dress up their bump. Whether a mama-to-be is in the market for cute, sexy, comfy, or homemade, there are plenty of options to accessorize that belly. (All that tasty snack food isn't a bad incentive to get out of the house, either.) Keep reading for a selection of costumes made to fit a fully expanded waistline. Start Big Baby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When the lil one comes along, parents won't have much time to indulge their inner baby, so parents-to-be should get all of their whining out of the way well in advance of the birth. 1 / 14 Shotgun Bride What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like the pregnant nun, the shotgun bride is one Halloween costume that's sure to get a chuckle no matter how many times it's been done before. Extra points to the couple who really are planning a walk down the aisle at nine months pregnant! Source: Flickr user Mel. B 2 / 14 Sassy Soccer Mom (to-Be) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who says a soccer mom has to drive a minivan and rock mom jeans? Show off those gorgeous gams and cover up swollen ankles in this surprisingly flattering little number. 3 / 14 Mother Earth What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Earth mamas-in-training can practice what they preach in this easy-to-assemble costume, which can be made by simply adorning any green, stretchy clothes with whatever nature-related accessories are lying around. Garlands and daisy chains make great head pieces or belts. Source: Flickr user meemal 4 / 14 Kitty in a Tutu What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Any excuse to wear a tutu as a grown-up is a good one. Throw on a stretchy black leotard, some animal ears, and a sweet black low-slung tutu and voila — instant costume. 6 / 14 Multipurpose Pumpkin Skirt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Adorning an about-to-pop belly in some sort of a pumpkin costume is a no-brainer: this cleverly designed, handmade pumpkin skirt can be worn many ways, and for many years, something practical new parents will appreciate. 6 / 14 Rag Doll Mommy-to-Be Adult Costume What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Get all dolled up! The best part about this cute rag doll costume? It goes perfectly with flats! 7 / 14 X-Ray Baby Belly What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For expecting women who don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about a costume, this cute — but a little creepy — shirt is definitely in the Halloween spirit. 8 / 14 Baller What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A delightfully round belly is nothing if not suited for all types of ball costumes. Source: Flickr user ethorson 9 / 14 Bumble Bee What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Blind Melon fans can get all nostalgic with a bumble bee costume, which is the perfect shape to hide or flaunt a growing belly — depending on its size! 11 / 14 Hole in One What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Love to spend time on the links? This "hole in one" costume — made from astroturf with a painted belly peeking out — is both easy and comfortable. And, if you can get your partner to dress up too, is a fun couples costume for any party! Source: The Best Part of Me 11 / 14 Magic 8 Ball What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the future will you have a baby? Magic 8 ball says, "yes!" This adorable Magic 8 Ball costume takes less than five minutes to make. Simply wear all black, print an "8"on a piece of paper, cut it into a circle, and tape it to your belly! Source: Flickr user nicherndesigns 12 / 14 Darth Vader and the Death Star What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A pregnant belly makes the perfect canvas for the Death Star with Darth Vader overseeing everything! Even non-Star Wars fans can appreciate the thought that goes into this costume! Source: Flickr user andibob909 13 / 14 The Solar System What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your baby belly is the center of your universe, so why not make it the center of the entire universe?

Immigration Reform Politics Should Scare Obama and the Democrats
The Obama administration has so bungled the immigration issue it is unspeakable.
We have this news today from the National Governors Association meeting this weekend, courtesy of the New York Times:
In a private meeting with White House officials this weekend, Democratic governors voiced deep anxiety about the Obama administration's suit against Arizona's new immigration law, worrying that it could cost a vulnerable Democratic Party in the fall elections.
All I can say is, huzzah! The Obama administration has so bungled the immigration issue it is unspeakable. Mind you, the Republicans have not done much if any better. Both parties spend way too much time bowing to the interests of illegal immigrants (who come in all races and colors) and refusing to enforce existing laws or pass new ones limiting immigration to that which improves our environment and our economy.
[Check out a roundup of editorial cartoons on immigration.]
But I guarantee anyone who lives in a border state or near the U.S. southern border has a much lower quality of life than do those of us lucky enough to live away from areas where hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings take place regularly.
First and foremost, immigration reform should take into account the environmental destruction wreaked by having too many people crowding into an already-overcrowded nation. As I have written, we have developed much of our prime farmland and are becoming food insecure--relying on other countries for precious fresh food supplies.
Then, we must take our own economic and employment needs into account when setting immigration quotas. We should welcome immigrants who will contribute to our economy who are already trained in high tech fields and in medicine. We should lock out unskilled, uneducated immigrants who use more by way of social services and government support programs, and drive wages down for the low-skilled Americans already out of work. Instead of letting them cross our borders illegally, we should work with their homeland governments to get them educated at home and create working economies at home, thereby eviscerating their need to emigrate.
Instead, the Obama administration wants to grant amnesty to millions and millions of persons who broke our laws. This hurts poor Americans more than anyone else, including millions of uneducated persons born overseas but who emigrated to the United States legally during the past two decades. This administration has so tortured the facts on immigration that it should pay at the ballot box this November. It should pay dearly.

We made it together for five weeks, had lots of laughs, tried to think of ways to get rid of James, enjoyed "intellectual" conversations with Daniel about obscure subjects, played favourite nephew, scared fhe hell out of michelle at eurodisney, enjoyed mark's cooking and generally had a ball.

NYPD: Captain Told Officers To "Treat Black People Like Animals"
Racism exposed in discrimination lawsuit
Considering their behavior and tactics over the last 20 years, this isn't too much of a surprise, but it has been revealed that NYPD officers are trained and instructed to "treat black people like animals."
The revelation comes in the midst of a federal discrimination lawsuit filed by Detective Debra Lawson who claims that minority-group members in her unit were passed over for good assignments and career advancement.
Three officers, one a retired high-ranking detective, from the firearms suppression unit testified that Capt. James Coan and Lt. Daniel Davin "created a hostile environment for both their black detectives and suspected minority-group gun traffickers."
The NY Daily News reports:
Davin used the N-word to address black suspects, while Coan considered the unit's minority-group targets almost subhuman, the depositions indicate.
"Capt. Coan would tell the field team . . . 'They are f-----g animals. You make sure if you have to shoot, you shoot them in the head. That way there's one story,' " said the retired detective.
The ex-cop, identified only as Undercover 7988, said Coan's racist rant came before every search warrant executed in Brooklyn's Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant and East New York from 2008 to 2010.
"They didn't care if it was kids in there, they didn't care if it was women in there, naked women," the detective said. ". . . They treated them as if they had no rights whatsoever. It was disgusting."
Another officer who testified claims that in 2005, he walked into an apartment where he heard Davin telling officers, "If you have to shoot a n----r, do what you gotta do."
Coan has denied making such comments.

Silvio_Dante you forgot to post most of the letter. I went ahead & posted the link:
Marcia Weinstein: Help is available for autismThursday, February 19, 2009
Were the teachers at the Portillo hearing who were supporting Portillo think about the children that were at school the day of the hearing? They were told to go back to class by the school board because they were short handed & only had 3 subs for the 10 or so teachers at the hearing. They refused to go back to class & stayed for at least another hour.
Hmmmm why werent they thinking about all the other kids?
Wow you jumped right on this letter & started attacking this poster. This poster addressed the other end of the spectrum & you dont like that? Why? Same reason others didnt like this article?
Letter: Autism doesn't mean a person can't functionhttp://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/feb/1...
Well Said Lani!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo!
Newsie,You seem to only want people talk about the children who are severe. You post on Marcia aticle upset about some insults by people who may or may not know her. Then you hurl insults at this woman who is a retired clinical psychologist, what are your credentials? Im sorry your child is severe but dont you dare forget about the rest, if you truly care so much about the cause!
There are many of us who do not see our children as afflicted or debilitating. There are many many autistic adults that wish you would stop speaking about them in that way.
You seem angry that others are trying to bring that out?

Posted by Lippy_Broads You're absolutely right. CARD is an organization that offers free services to educate and help teachers. The reason they show up in small numbers on the Treasure Coast is because maybe their services aren't being requested.
You may want to reread my post .........I said the TEACHERS show up in small numbers.
I am the parent that went to the first ASA Treasure Coast chapter looking for support when my child was brutally restrained. When I asked what ASA's stance on restraint & seclusion was the woman who wrote this debilitating article acted like she had no clue what it was & responded to me by saying "My son doesnt need to be restrained".
Great support....thanks!
Do you call instilling fear & suggesting how horrible it is to have a child with Autism being proactive?
Think again..........
I'm very involved in ending restraint & seclusion something none of these organizations publicly take a stance on. I read story after story speak to parent after parent with the same abuse story. Yet these organizations shy away & won't touch it.
Why? To political?
Who are the Armchair quarterbacks......…?
School is Not Supposed to Hurt:Investigative Report on Abusive Restraint and Seclusion in Schoolshttp://www.ndrn.org/sr/SR-Report.pdf
Help is available you just have to ask.....
None of those organizations you listed will help parents when schools start restraining & locking their children in seclusion rooms.
The NEW Treasure Coast ASA chapter actually told a parent when they asked what is ASA's stance on restraint & seclusion...... "My child doesnt need to be restrained". Well neither does mine!She acted as if she never heard of restraint & seclusion. Maybe it was you.
When you have taken the time to educate the teacher/staff & they just cant be bothered with your child ....then what? Allow your child to be abused?
You just wrote about the worse case scenarios with Autism. My child is not severe & you now just told these people that they are all aggressive. You have just contributed to the fear, discrimination & abuse our children receive in the school system.
I am shocked & disappointed at the route you took with this story..........hey, at least you got to promote your fundraising walk.
It's spelled Asperger's.............
I would like to alert everyone to the fact that according to the new proposed rule from the FLDOE "Little Johnny Normal" can be restrained also.
Below is the link to the proposed Rule on Use of Reasonable Force by School Personnel from the Florida Department of Education.This rule will apply to ALL children in the public school system.
Link: https://www.flrules.org/gateway/readF...
It would be nice if everyone thought children needed to be treated like human beings. But the sad truth is that they all do not.
Well said voteguybarber!!!!!
Deena Messinger
You are clearly a SLC behavior anal yst. Let me clarify what a "behavioral shadow" does. They restrain & emotionally/physically abuse children in the name of education. What a bunch of uneducated abusive adults who think restraint & seclusion works or is neccessary.
I wish you would allow me to apply your experimental BS on you & you tell me how it helps you. I know it would help me a great deal!!!!!!!!
Now let's see..... I hear the head of ESE for Morning Side wears a ribbon in support of the teachers actions. I think all the parents of special needs children at that school should be fully aware of that. The woman who is suppose to have the best interest of your child is in support of that teachers actions. LET ME REPEAT THAT AGAIN SO IT SINKS IN: THE WOMAN WHO HOLDS THE HEAD ESE CHAIR & IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR DISABLED CHILD'S PLACEMENT WEARS A RIBBON IN SUPPORT OF THIS TEACHERS ACTIONS.
In keeping with the drama of the letter: YOU SHOULD ALL BE AFRAID VERY AFRAID!!!!!! Why is the princpal & Mr Lannon ok with that?
Parents shouldnt be force to homeschool when IDEA law says schools must educate them. It amazes me how you educators think you dont have to follow FEDERAL LAW!
You posters aka bad apple teachers are part of the reason the system is broken. These posts are clearly public school mentality, sick very sick!!!!!!!

If we had corporal punishment in school, this also wouldn't be happening.
Your not to bright are you? Corporal punishment is on the books in Florida.
Ms May my outrage is at the inhumane way special needs children are treated & the nerve of an ESE director to support such actions.
Where was Alex's ribbon? Where was the ribbon to support the special needs children? You know all the children Ms ESE makes a living supposedly caring about........................
Ms May.......please dont make me go back & find all your posts & please dont act like the victim here.
Ms May there are a lot of priests who had outstanding records for 45 years but they were still putting their hands in little johnny's pants.
So what is your favorite color?
Ms May, it has been almost a year & only aprx 10% have shown any support for this teacher. Why do you allow the teacher to make a mistake & you choose to crucify a 5 year old?
Ms May,
Do you see anything in this letter recognizing Ms Portillo mishandled the situation?

Maybe he is autistic. We must suspend the teacher and sue the cops. A quick referral to mommy barton's legal eagle will help him get over the trauma that he experiences at the hand of yet another teacher who hates children and doesn't deserve to ever teach again. Release him and let him back in class tomorrow. He has a right to be educated.

"Maybe he is autistic. We must suspend the teacher and sue the cops"
heres.your.sign: you beat me to it! My thoughts exactly.
Morning Sides finest........be afraid be very afraid. You put your own black eye on the school....no punn intended!
Oh & maybe you should find out what Ms ESE's favorite color is because the FLDOE has been notified.
Wow!!!!!!!! Maybe the Lyric theatre will pick up this dramatic perfomance.
well now we know who JJFAD is .......LOL
Thanks for all the spelling instructions.........what about the DUI?
You have to be careful when you say it, that way, to the people posting on this blog that want to believe he was just unruly. I know he can help the behaviors when given an alternative, allowed accomodations & some understanding. Alex had 2 transitions & change in routine that morning. The 2nd change in routine was the Lion King Play...Im sure that was very overstimulating for him. Im sure he enjoyed it but that's were people miss it. He may have been laughing having a good time etc.... but then when back in class he has issues. Instead of understanding exactly what's going and assisting him with an alternative she chose to punish him.
I would have to assume Alex is a sensory seeker, he needs input. He is NOT a child seeking attention as the teacher has stated. Our children are being emotionally/physically abused due to lack of education/understanding of the disorder.
I have a child on the spectrum..............
This whole situation could have been avoided, the broken system failed another child.
Posted by PeterH on February 6, 2009 at 1:29 p.m.Dirty Deeds, your comparison, while making a valid point, is flawed. A seizure, and a behavioural disorder are two completely different animals.
Autism is NOT a behavioral disorder it is a neurological disorder.
Posted by NatalieF on February 6, 2009 at 8:19 a.m.Let's all think back to when we were in grade school. Were there children in YOUR class that came to class each day only to roll on the floor, throw/eat crayons and lift furniture with their legs by lying underneath it???
Most of the children when I was in grade school were eating glue apparently crayons werent as tasty back then. I do remember a child with epilepsy, he had seizures often. He would fall on the floor, roll around, kick chairs/desks but I was never made to vote the child out. The child's condition was explained to us by the teacher so we could understand what was going on. We use to look out for him, we would help move chairs & desks so he was safe. We were taught empathy & understanding that year & readily accepted the child's differences because the teacher did!
"1" parent........hmmmmmm. Did this parent testify at her hearing?
Posted by NatalieF on February 5, 2009 at 7:24 p.m.By the way, where is the concern for the rest of the students? Why are we so concerned with the feelings of one child when the entire group of children were subjected to his abhorrent behavior on a daily basis?
Maybe your question should be where are all the other parents who "you" claim were subjected to abhorrent behavior. If that were true wouldnt they have all been lined up to testify for the teacher? That argument holds no water .... I have yet to see a parent from "that" classroom speak up for this teacher. She damaged their children also.
Alex Barton's Teacher Saw Humiliating Him as "Just Another Learning Opportunity"http://specialchildren.about.com/b/20...
Here's a rough timeline of what happened at Morningside Elementary on May 21, when kindergartner Alex Barton was voted out of class by his peers.
• Alex arrives in Wendy Portillo's classroom at 8:20 a.m. without his backpack and homework folder.
• Portillo sends Alex across the hallway to the office to call his mother to bring his materials. Alex returns about 8:40 a.m.
• At 9 a.m., the kindergarten class went to a fifth-grade production in the cafeteria. The class, including Alex, gets back to class about 10 a.m.
Although inaccurate lets go with it. His routine was changed when the teacher supposedly asked the child to call his mother for his backpack. Then the child went to the Lion King Play yet another transition. That was 2 transitions & 2 changes in routine in in a 2 hour time frame. Transitions & change in routine are extremly difficult for Autistic children. Im sure the Lion King play was very overstimulating also.
The child is 5 why didnt the teacher/former ESE teacher understand that? This was in May the teacher was well aware as well as staff they were dealing with an Autistic child.
There is plenty of blame to go aound let us all learn from it!
Posted by Margaret_May on February 3, 2009 at 7:21 p.m.BTW, If the Mother really wanted to educate people about autism she could have started with the Teacher and children in Alex's classroom when she saw Alex was having a difficult time adjusting.
This teacher was already trained in early childhood intervention. She was an ESE teacher...she knew what was wrong but chose to punish the child anyway!
I do like your choice of words in stating the child was having trouble adjusting.
Wow this is very personal for you, isnt it????? Im hoping when this is over ...no teacher will ever think about using this type of humiliation or any other against childen. A good teacher would never teach by humiliation!
We signed the "Let's vote Wendy Portillo out of her Kindergarten class!" petition!
7,769 people signed this petition. The teacher received 18 signatures from school staff in favor of her actions??????????
That would be tenure hellmary............

One of the designers on Ravelry is Scattered Dahlias. She designs slouchy hats and I really like her patterns. She also opens up her patterns for testers a couple of times a week. I have tried to get in on this several times, but never get in on time (The call is always when I am at work, so I usually miss out.) Well, last Monday I was at a drs appt and just happened to pull up Ravelry on my ipad, and there was an open test! I was excited that I was able to get in on it, even though I wasn't sure how much I liked the pattern. So, I layed my knitting and broomstick lace projects aside to make this hat. I'm actually pretty happy with it, and the cool thing is that you can wear it as a hat or a cowl! You can read my review of the pattern on Ravelry. or try this link

"My First Sweater"
I decided to sign up for the My First Sweater class on Craftsy. They had a great deal on the yarn "kit", so for less than $20, I ordered all the yarn I needed to make the sweater. It's just Lion Brand Wool Ease, but it's working up very nicely. I have other, nicer yarn, but for my first attempt at making a sweater, I didn't want to go all out.
The class uses this free pattern from Lion Brand. It also has options for a pullover (which I intend to make next) and a cardigan with longer sleeves and/or a collar.
On the sewing front, I'm planning on doing some cutting out after lunch. Andy will be busy listening to the football games, and I'm not really a fan. Since the home stereo system will be covered with football, I'll just turn off the speakers in the sewing room and turn on my audio book. I have a 35 minute commute to work each way, so I listen to audiobooks and it really makes the time go by - plus I get to "read" books that I wouldn't have time to otherwise.

A little detour to Winter Wonderland
I think Emma likes it too, since she didn't tear it off like she usually does with her jackets and sweatshirts. She even put the hat back on when it fell off after we were in the house!
We are blessed to be able to have Emma spend the afternoon and night with us every Wednesday and a couple of Sundays a month. She really loves coming up here because she gets to run and play a lot outside. She gets to play outside at her house too, but its not the same as being out in the country of course. She's only 26 months, but she knows what she wants to do!
I have made some progress on the Broomstick lace cardi though. I really am enjoying making that.
Now that the holidays are over, I'm hoping that things will settle down a bit. I've been going to some Common Core Training at work, so that is taking some extra time. I spent 3 hours in my classroom today making lesson plans for a substitute when I could have been home doing something else! Oh well.
Emma stayed with us today, so while she took a nap I was able to trace one of my patterns for the swap. I will be making the Silhouettes Patterns twinset out of a gray knit. i got the pattern traced and tissue cut, but didn't get to fabric yet. I better get on the stick and make some clothes, because I'm finding that I don't have too many things to wear for colder weather. Thinking about making them does not get them made!!
The nice thing about knitting and crochet is that I can sit in the living room with my husband and do it while he is there. When I'm sewing, I'm kind of off in my own world (physically and mentally!) I'm much better at crocheting than knitting. I love the look of knits, but my problem is that I don't know how to fix my mistakes when I make them. I find this pretty easy in crochet, but next to impossible in knitting. Probably the issue is the fact that I choose things to make that are considerably above my skill set! I think I may sign up to take the "MY First Sweater" class at Craftsy. I do know the basics, but I have never knitted anything more than scarves, hats, and mittens. I've attempted a few shawls, but have torn every single one of them out since I usually find mistakes several rows back and have no idea how to fix them. If it's a simple knit or purl stitch, I can usually fix that, but sometimes I can't figure out what the mistake is. Either I've twisted a stitch, messed up a YO or some other dumb thing. I probably need to start with something more simple, so the Craftsy class might be the answer.
There are only 2 disadvantages of crocheting over knitting. First and foremost is the fact that it really bothers the arthritis in my thumb. Knitting does not. The other thing is the fact that crochet projects usually take much more yarn than knitted projects, and I have a taste for expensive yarn.
Well, sewing doesn't bother my hands at all (well, hardly at all) so thats what I should be doing! I'm ready to get started on the gray twinset, so I will post progress. I have a great brocade type fabric that I want to make a skirt with. It's not part of my swap, but it will go with the gray set. I've had this fabric earmarked for a pencil skirt for years, and yet there it sits. How long does it really take to make a skirt anyway? I should have made a dozen.

Broomstick lace
I signed up for the Broomstick lace class on Craftsy. I took the Tunisian Crochet class from Jennifer Hansen, and she is a wonderful teacher. So, this was my Christmas present to myself. I ordered the yarn(beet red), the extra large knitting needles, and now I am taking the time to learn the technique. My first practice turned out pretty well and I love the look.
I think some of the examples on Ravelry are even better looking. I'm (attempting to ) make mine in the same color as the sample above. Tonight I will try to finish swatch # 2 and hope that will be the end of it!!

SWAP - I've got a plan
I've got a plan - but that doesn't mean I'll stick to it! Years of experience tells me that the SWAP plan always changes by the time it is over! Right now my plan is of all new made garments. If I don't finish everything by the end I can substitute since this year we're allowed
- one purchased garment
- one previously made garment
- one garment made between now and the start date of December 26
Also, I have been wanting to make this Sandra Betzina skirt for a long time, but didn't have the right stripe.

I guess I'll let him live (LOL)
OK, today I can laugh about it, but yesterday I was in tears. All the time I had allocated to sewing was spent cleaning up soot and ashes. It's amazing how much ash can fly out of a shop vac in just a split second! Fortunately, my cabinet doors to the fabric cabinet were shut, but everything I had out (I'm still unpacking) had/has a fine layer of ash all over it. I guess I'll continue to clean as I go. Not much else I can do about it.
I did make a little progress yesterday. I usually trace all of my patterns, but I probably won't mak this dress more than once, so I just cut it out. I did trace the front bodice sine I wasn't sure how I wanted to do a FBA on this. I knew I would want to rotate the dart into one of the pleats, so this is how I ended up doing it.
This pattern has the typical Vogue method of sewing in the lining, which I don't like. It seems that the shoulder seam never looks quite right when I try to insert the lining and then join the shoulder seams last. I prefer to use my standard method which joins the side seam last.
So, I've got the front completed and the back bodices sewn to the skirts. The pleating in the front was more time consuming than I anticipated. It's fairly simple, but then getting the top and bottom to line up is extremely difficult (Well, maybe not if you're a much more accurate sewist than I am.) I think I ripped this out 4 times and this is the best I could do. Fortunately, it will be covered with a belt, but I like to know that it looks good. At least this is pretty close.
I like the way the pleats form the front of the bodice.
Today I would like to finish cutting out the lining and sew it together.
On another note, Stitcher's Guild is starting up for the next SWAP (Sewing with a plan) This year it is 11 garments. 3 mini packs and 2 wildcard. You can find the official rules here. For the last several years, I have attempted SWAP and failed miserably. In fact, last year, I don't think I even completed one garment from my proposed SWAP!! So, looking at it that way, I can only succeed in improving my progress from last year!! Plus you can use a few items that you already have made, so I am planning to use this dress and the pair of pants (that still need hemming) that I made last weekend. Are any of you planning to SWAP this year? It officially starts in December, but you can actually start sewing and planning now.

The Best Laid Plans (or How to Get Your Wife to Want to Kill You)
I had so much enthusiasm today - I knew I was going to finish that dress! Well, unfortunately, my sewing room is also the home of the litter box. There was some litter on the floor, so I asked my husband to bring in the shop vac so I could clean it up. My husband has had the brilliant idea lately of cleaning out the fireplace with the shop vac. You might guess where this is going. Said husband comes into the sewing room and turns on the shop vac. Tragically, he has the hose in the WRONG hole and it is set to BLOW. NO, he did NOT clean out the shop vac after the last time he cleaned the fireplace. Well, he will not have to now since all of the soot and ash have shrouded my entire sewing room!! I cannot believe this just happened! I've spent the last hour and a half cleaning and mopping. No, I'm not in the mood to sew anymore. I'm just frustrated!

Hoping for a new dress
Next up, Vogue 1025
I looked on Pattern Review to see if there were any reviews, but couldn't find any. It looks easy enough, but looks can be deceiving! Andy and I have an event tonight, and I'd like to make this. I don't think I will get it done in time, but at least it will be motivation to get started. Last night I pulled out some "Lipstick" red wool which is almost a wine color, and some ambiance lining that will go with it. I was surprised to find that I even had the right sized invisible zipper in the right color. Since it is about a 45 minute drive to the nearest fabric store, I've got to make sure I have everything I need before I get started.
I don't think the dress will take long to make, but I still need to fit the pattern. Of course, a muslin would probably be the best way to do this, but I think I am going to try to tissue fit to save time. I'll post my progress later :-)

Emergency Sewing
I've actually been working on a pair of pants this weekend and have finished them except for the hem. They are Loes Hinse Cruise pant. It's an old pattern, but I like the narrower leg, but wanted something with an elastic waist for those days that I just want to be super comfortable. I always wear longer tops, so you can't really tell what the waist is anyway. So many fashion sites say you should NEVER wear elastic waist pants. Why? Granted, they arent going to give you that great butt like a good pair of jeans, but I'm not wearing jeans to work - and I'm not too worried about how great my butt looks with a class full of fourth graders!

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted. Yes, we finally moved. We are still not completely unpacked, but I am determined not to do what most people say is true, which is "it can take years." Basically, I just need to finish the TV room and the sewing room. The sewing room is my nightmare. Nothing seems to fit where I want it and all the shelves are either too narrow or too shallow. I need to start thinking outside the box so that I can get that room ready to sew! I'm going to try to post some pictures later today. We have terrible internet here, so every time I try to upload pictures, my connection fails.

Still waiting to move...
Well, the house is almost completely packed. Well, it feels like that since my living room is stacked full of boxes and my kitchen is completely done. (Except for one drawer of silverware) The garage is even more packed with boxes than the living room!
We were supposed to close escrow yesterday, but still no news. Waiting for the buyer's lender to release funds so that we can close on the Three Rivers property. It's really coming down to the count. We are scheduled to move next Friday and I have to be back to work on the following Monday! That means that I will be in school most of next week getting my room ready. I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do anything at school because all I can focus on is moving.
Here's what's left of my sewing room...
And this will be my new sewing room! Unfortunately, there really aren't any walls in this room. Every wall has either cabinets or windows. The one wall that has a bit of space happens to have a water spigot near the bottom, so you can't put anything against that wall. I may put my folding cutting table in front of that.
It looks kind of HUGE in the picture, and it is huge for a laundry room, but when I think of setting up a table and machines, I don't think it is actually as big as it looks in these pictures. The cabinet you see in the back corner behind the exercise equipment will be my fabric cabinet. It is actually smaller than the one I have now, but deeper. The shelves arent very wide, but they are probably 24" deep, so I will have to find a way to fold my fabric differently to get it to fit and so that I can see everything.
Also, I am going to have to store the dog and cat food containers in here since leaving food outside attracts bears and raccoons. There is a small closet on the back patio and I'm wondering if it would be safe to keep the dry food in there. I will have to ask the neighbors what they think. Any of you have experience with storing dry animal food in an area where bears sometimes visit? They say they havent seen any this year, but usually do have bears come into their yards a couple of times during the summer. Summer's not over yet and its been a really dry summer for us. I won't be surprised to see some bears in August.
We have decided to paint the new house before we move in. Who knew that painting was SO expensive! It would have been cheaper for me to take two months off of work and do it myself!! Still, I think I would be too afraid to paint the ceiling of a two story house!

Lexie Broytman '14
Lexie Broytman is, quite literally, a model student.
A regular on the dean's list, the senior public relations major has strutted the runway at Fashion Week in New York City and sashayed in Milan and Florence, Italy.
"I love the runway," Broytman said. "It's a lot of energy and it's a lot of fun. I remember the excitement of running from show to show during Fashion Week. You're just booked like crazy. It's a surreal feeling."
Broytman began modeling in high school, eventually signing professional contracts with elite agencies such as New York Model Management and Ford Model Management. The commuter student from Southington, Conn. said she selected Quinnipiac because of its exceptional public relations program and proximity to New York and Boston.
Broytman said it has not been easy balancing her academics and modeling career. During the Spring 2012 semester, for example, she commuted back and forth to New York City for six months, including for Fashion Week.
"I was just exhausted all the time," she admitted. "It was hard."
Broytman, who attends Quinnipiac on an academic scholarship, will graduate with a bachelor's degree in May 2014 and plans to immediately pursue a master's degree in public relations at the University.
For now, her modeling career is on hold.
"I really enjoy public relations. As a model, you get to see both sides of PR. I think modeling will be there for me if I choose to go back, but getting my degree is more important at this point," said Broytman, adding that Quinnipiac and New York Model Management have been extremely supportive in her endeavors. "Quinnipiac certainly wanted me to pursue any dreams or aspirations that I have," she continued. "I'm most active with New York Model Management and they want their girls to get an education. A lot of women with degrees model for them. My ultimate goal would be to work in fashion PR."
Broytman, who has modeled for designers such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs, Van Cleef & Arpels and Fendi, wore mostly business suits during Summer 2013 while interning at ICR, a public relations firm based in Norwalk, Conn.
"I think everybody has their own journey," she said. "I would certainly love to get some kind of contract from a makeup company or be the face of some campaign, but those jobs are few and far between. For now, I really want to get my degree."
