Lets be honest here, the death penalty when ress at a spirit healer is old. It's build on old ideas about how this game should penalize people who used it to exploid and whatelse not.Now we're 8 years ahead, graveyards are horrible, guild perks are useless, if you die somewhere up high you're just screwed and if you log off the buff will still be there on login. I won't even start about the "penalty" you get when you die in a raid instance. I think a raid group loses at least 30 minutes of raiding time on corpse running.
Trow us a bone, either fix or change something.

Your Bank Sucks: ATM Dispenses Dead Mouse
Inb4 'at least the ATM cat killed it first'.
A man visiting his daughter in Sweden recently made a withdrawal at a supermarket ATM and got a special surprise at the end: a mouse! Sadly, it was dead and not part of a "pet with every transaction" promo. *yelling at Wells Fargo* FREE GERBILS OR I'M SWITCHING BANKS.
..."I got my 700 kronor but I never got the receipt. At the same time, I saw a cord that was jamming the ATM slot."
...He thought somebody may be trying to do something illegal, so he tried to pull the cord. He then realized it was a mouse tail.He ran to the supermarket's customer service people and asked for help. They told him that the ATM was not their responsibility but the guys in charge of the shopping carts offered their help. One of them was finally able to take out the whole mouse: "he took out the mouse. His head was intact although a little bit bloody. Then I got my receipt."
No word if this is just part of a 'Wendy's chili-finger' hoax to sue for money, but it's a pretty bad one if it is (you should've gone with a severed peen!). Besides, it did still give brobro his money. I never withdraw anything but 'UNAVAILABLE FUNDS' slips. It's really embarrassing on dates.
ATM Gives Out Dead Mouse [gizmodo]
Thanks to sabrina and Joe, who don't use ATMs because they're afraid of identity theft. Me? I don't use public toilets because I'm afraid of touching the inside of the bowl with my wiener.
Want a provocative little show every time you add some coin to you piggy bank? How about two porkers doing it hoggy style? Or, if that's not your slice of bacon, you can get two elephants pachydermin' it. Each bank costs about $21 and is sure to stir up a chuckle. The first... / Continue →

Manhattan House, that white brick behemoth on East 66th Street, is only too happy to oblige. The landmarked building, inching along in its conversion to luxury condos, has developed five new spacious layouts.
"People like space, people want space and if they can afford it, why not?" said Loretta Shanahan Bradbury, director of sales at Manhattan House. "It's not necessarily the number of people living in the apartment. It's just what they want, and if it's what they can afford, that's what they're buying." Read More

The principal investigator of the AMS experiment is Samuel Ting, the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of Physics at MIT, who led the design, construction and commissioning of AMS with his Electromagnetic Interactions Group at the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Ting shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 1976 with Burton Richter '52, PhD '56 for discovering the J/Psi particle, a heavy elementary particle.
The AMS experiment is designed to study high-energy particles; such study could lead to new theories about the formation and evolution of the universe.
"We can look for dark matter, look for antimatter and look for strangelets," Ting said at a news conference pegged to Endeavour's launch. "But to advance in physics is to push current knowledge aside. Exploring new territory with a precision instrument is the key to discovery. What we will really see, nobody knows."
"The most exciting objective of AMS is to probe the unknown: to search for phenomena which exist in nature that we have not yet imagined nor had the tools to discover," Ting added.
The original agreement to develop the AMS experiment for the International Space Station was signed by NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in September 1995. An AMS prototype first flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998.
Since then, the AMS — developed by scientists from 60 universities and research institutions in 16 countries — has overcome significant challenges. Following the Space Shuttle Columbia accident in 2003, AMS was removed from the shuttle's launch manifest. Ting and others led an aggressive campaign to restore a dedicated space shuttle mission to the launch schedule. The NASA Authorization Act of 2008 included language specifically allocating an additional space shuttle mission for the AMS experiment, and NASA officially approved the STS-134 mission to launch AMS in January 2009.
With AMS now in place, "the International Space Station will transform into a high-energy physics laboratory, with access to the most powerful accelerator in the universe, which is the universe itself," said Saul Gonzalez of the DOE's Office of High-Energy Physics.
In addition to Ting, the AMS leadership team includes Manuel Aguilar-Benitez of CIEMAT in Madrid, Spain; Silvie Rosier of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics in France; Roberto Battiston of the University of Perugia in Italy; Shih-Chang Lee of the Academia Sinica, Institute of Physics in Taipei, Taiwan; Stefan Schael of the Physics Institute in Aachen, Germany; and Martin Pohl of the University of Geneva in Switzerland.

CALEA and Tech Mandates
CALEA is a 1994 law requiring telephone companies to design their networks to make them easy for the government to tap. Regulators have extended the CALEA mandate to Internet service providers. CDT resisted this expansion and is continuing to fight design mandates that will threaten privacy and impede innovation.

Re: Hello. As for mechnical Subcompact
Glad we could help, but from my experiences with my HST subcomact, the only way I would consider a gear drive, is if it had like a 12 by twelve power reverser. Most gear drives don't have low enough gearing to run snowblowers, tillers, etc., and then you have the instant forward/reverse of the HST which is a huge plus for what homeowners do on a regular basis.
Good luck in your venture, I hope it works out.Don

Re: Hello. As for mechnical Subcompact
My guess is that the regional demand for gear drive may be for a combination of conveniences. Lower cost for horsepower could affect overall affordability. Large gardens & small farms may feed families more than provide wealth, depending on organization and available help. Depending on a tractor's reliability, maintenance, and hours of service, as it ages the cost or availability parts and good repair service, or saving by doing one's own more conventional type work may add much to their appeal.
Hydrostatic systems seem to be reliable enough, but one must also consider availability of models locally. IMO the overall ease of use and of training other operators should be considered in HST's favor if it can be afforded.

Why exactly? Just curious. :)Quote:

I can imagine how a white iPad won't show fingerprint smudges and probably won't show signs of wear-and-tear either, but perhaps the best reason to buy a white one is that it makes you a hipster :cool:
i.e. - Makes it look like more of an e-reader and less like a big shiny media hub. :ipad-movie:
Also, talking about media hubs.. How many TVs have you seen that have a border that's anything other than black? White border TVs are just not as common, because the contrast of the white on whatever you're watching is too great. The converse can be said with reading an online newspaper/webpage - white on white looks much cleaner. :cool: (hipster shades)
Taken from appadvice:
Black or White Ipad 2:
You might think this is just a question of aesthetics, but there is more to it. To put it simply, you should be getting the black one. Or to be more explicit, you shouldnt get the white one.
Why so ? Well, the white iPad looks much nicer as an object, when its off. For sustained usage however, it has a lot of drawbacks. First of all, it will you give the impression that the screen is dimmer, and has less contrast. The content wont stand out as much.
Think about it, as Gruber said on the Talk Show, there is a reason why TVs come generally in Black, and letterbox content with black frames. White will make your movies and games look worse.
A white Frame will also reflect more light when youre outside, it will be more visibly dirty and worse of all, white Apple products have a long history of problems, from cracking, to light leaks and so on.
If you absolutely want to play the difference card, and think the look of the object is more important than anything else, then white might be for you. The Black iPad however is just as beautiful in your opinion, and a much better choice.
LOL that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. When I went to the apple store, i compared black to white. Want to know just how much difference it made? Zero. The black is not better than the white and vice versa. Though the white does trump black in a few instances.Quote:

Serious Saturdays: Start A Riot with Swamp81
Saturday, January 7th, 2012It's now officially 2012. Whether the Mayan prophecy is true, whether we'll be transformed or destroyed any day now has yet to be determined. One thing is for certain though: the same ol' electronic music formulas just ain't cutting it. 2011 was a year of destroying expectations of club music.
Every genre launched its tempos, rhythms and arrangements into haphazard, spiraling directions. By the way things are going—at least when it comes to bass music—we'll finally be defining musical movements not by limiting categories, but by taste and attitude. Are you ready for the next soundsystem riot? Look no further than Swamp81.
Swamp81 is a record label runned by Loefah, the notorious dubstep icon and member of DMZ. After a series of successful vinyl releases over the last decade on renowned dubstep labels Big Apple, DMZ and Tectonic, Loefah remained relatively quiet when it came to production and DJing. 2009 marked his return, as he released the first 12" on his new label Swamp81: a Kryptic Minds single release with "One Of Us" on the A side. From there, a series of similar, murky releases dropped in 2010. There's the Kryptic Minds full length album, the Skream release "Repercussions Of A Razorblade," as well as the menacing low end of The Bug's "Run" 12," featuring various versions of his Control riddim.
The huge turning point for Swamp81, however, was the smash hit by Addison Groove, "Footcrab." "Footcrab" combines the stutter-step of Chicago's juke music, the bounce of Baltimore club and sub bass low end of dubstep. The result is such a unique track that it was embraced by DJs of a variety of genres, and was one of the most original sounding tracks to come out that year. The track knocks at a sweaty house party just as hard as it knocks in the main room of Fabric.
Rather than piggyback on the hype of "Footcrab" and release a slew of juke-dubstep hybrids, Swamp81 continued to break boundaries. Pinch's "Croydon House" sounds as if Basic Channel and Darth Vader collaborated on a future house tune after last call; an exciting new direction for Pinch. Then there's the old school electro and techno influenced jams. Boddika's "Electron" and Addison Groove's "Work It" are unique, dark and mechanical bangers perfect for warehouse after hours.
And last year, one of the best releases on the label—"Sicko Cell"—was yet again another ground breaking moment for the label. Is it house? Is it dubstep? Who cares, it's just awesome. This track by an Unknown Artist (*cough* Joy Orbison *cough*) was another cross-genre hit, and deservedly made XLR8R's Best Of 2011 list.
By combining the best elements of the past, present and future with taste, attitude and the dancefloor in mind, the Swamp81 riot won't stop anytime soon. If you've been tuning into Loefah's Swamp81 show on Rinse FM, you'll hear an incredible selection of brand new dubplates and white labels, which lately have been mostly influenced-by-but-not-limited-to classic Chicago house.
And let's not forget the recent release of the outrageously catchy "Swims" by Boddika and Joy Orbison. I've never heard a better use of cowbell than…well…That Skit I don't want to mention because my bro-y cousin has a t-shirt of it from Urban Outfitters (I don't actually have a bro-y cousin but you can picture it, can't ya?). So if you're a fan of minimal beats, originality, sub woofers and future bass bounce, start a riot with the rest of us! Walk for me!

Style Tips For Kids Expert Advice on Dressing Your Stylish Tots From Marissa Kraxberger by Lisa Horten 3/26/13 0 Reactions 23 Shares Print 2 12 8 1 0 When it comes to fantasy wardrobes for our kids, Oscar de la Renta Childrenswear ranks at the top of the list. The brand's head of creative, Marissa Kraxberger, is a mom to two adorable, and (of course) superstylish tots. So when we had the opportunity to get her advice on all things pertaining to kiddie fashion, we jumped at the opportunity. In addition to her demanding gig at ODLR, Marissa is the voice of its beautiful new blog, George & Ruby, which (in her own words) is all about "the whirlwind of fashion and social media and sippy cups and Sesame Street." Right up our alley. Read on to learn Marissa's approach to dressing her own kids, and what you can learn from the fashion insider. Source: George & Ruby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 POPSUGAR Moms: Tell us about your background and how George & Ruby came to be. Marissa Kraxberger: I moved to NYC in 2006 and started my career in fashion at Diane von Furstenberg. I've also worked at Armani and Kate Spade. I've been at Oscar de la Renta for the past year. We had just launched Childrenswear and were brainstorming ideas on how to generate awareness. We came up with the idea of attaching the new line to a personality — making it very authentic. I said, "I'm a mom, I can do this." I've always been kind of an open book so was happy to. We launched the blog in mid-July. Its name was inspired by our CEO's dogs, George and Ruby. I try to post five days a week, and my team helps a lot with that. Some days I'm better at the [work/life] balance than others, which I think is true of motherhood in general. 1 / 6 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PSM: What's your strategy for dressing your own kids (Alexa, 3, and Hayden, 21 months)? In addition to ODLR, what are your favorite brands — both for dress-up and everyday? MK: That high-low balance is the most important thing. Of course, my kids have a lot of Oscar. It's timeless and classic. But I also buy a lot of basics at Zara and H&M Kids. Hayden wears lots of comfy polos, button-ups, and jeans. Right now, Alexa's going through a stage of thinking she's a princess. It doesn't matter what I do — she always ends up in a tutu. 2 / 6 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PSM: At what age should kids begin to be included in the decision of what goes into their wardrobes? MK: Alexa's just gotten into it in the past month or so. She always wants to be in tights, a skirt, ballet flats. I try to dress that down a bit by pairing her cute dresses with Natives or Converse shoes. I don't have to control everything, though. I'm a creative person, so it's really fun to see that side of my daughter. 3 / 6 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PSM: What are some fresh and unexpected color combos to consider for babies and kids this Spring? MK: I love sherbet shades — soft oranges and greens. For little boys, Oscar has some really unique color combos, like mauve and hunter. For girls, colorful prints are big this Spring. 4 / 6 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PSM: What's your take on trends when it comes to children's wear? MK: I think it's more about what they're comfortable in. If you do work trends in, I like them to reflect what mom's into. I used to always wear a side ponytail, so I'd do that for my daughter as well. It's kind of like playing dress up with a doll! 6 / 6 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PSM: What are your wardrobe must haves for boys and girls? MK: Definitely cardigans and layering sweaters for all. For boys, polos, button-ups, and cardigans. For girls, simple, soft tees to layer under dresses, tights, and leggings. 6 / 6 2 12 8 1 0 Back to Homepage Read More Marissa KraxbergerKid ShoppingKids ClothesOscar De La Renta Oscar de la Renta Oscar de la Renta and Karlie Kloss Make Grown-Out Pixies Chic 4 weeks ago If These Oscar de la Renta Dresses Could Talk . . . 4 weeks ago Kerry Washington Debuts Another Daring Maternity Look 1/26 Was Funny Lady Tina Fey Too Serious on the Red Carpet? 1/18 Should Isla Fisher's Look Be Nominated For an Award? 1/18 Poll: Did Michelle Dockery Give Us Too Much Sparkle? 1/13 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Reactions Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

About Chains
A bicycle chain is a 'roller chain' that has the task of transferring power from the cranks to the rear wheel of the bike thus propelling it. Most bicycle chains are made from alloy steel, but some are chrome plated or stainless steel to prevent rust, or simply for good looks. Chains will vary in width depending on the amount of gears you have, most are 3/32 inch for use with geared systems and then come in 'speeds' which needs to matched to the cassette, ie a 10 speed cassette will need a 10 speed chain and so on. Track bikes or single speeds often run 1/8 inch rings so will need a 1/8 inch chain as well, these will have larger plates to aid stopping on a fixed wheel, which can add extra stress to a chain.
About the Wippermann brand
Wippermann have been making high quality durable bicycle chains for over 15 years. Thanks to continuous investment in advanced technologies, manufacturing processes, Wippermann guarantee the the highest quality and durability in their bike chain product range.

Simulated Environments Engage Students (Transcript)
Woman: Last time we came here, we were looking at the shapes, edges, and the veins of leaves.
Narrator: At Vanderburg Elementary School, students visit this lush, tropical rainforest throughout the school day.
Woman: What is special about this leaf that is going to help it live in the understory?
There's just a little bit of light that will help it survive.
Narrator: The rainforest biosphere is a living learning lab, a controlled environment full of tropical plants and animals that students study and help care for.
Woman: Look at the structure, guys. Look at this leaf. Is this the kind of leaf that we looked at yesterday?
Narrator: It's a million-dollar oasis designed with student input, built and paid for by community volunteers.
Carolyn: What it took was the creative minds of many people and also getting the community involved. It was not funded by our school district. We were able to get people to believe in our vision in order to make this become a reality, so what we did, in fact, we created a rainforest here in the desert so that children can compare the rainforest biome with the desert biome.
Woman: What layer of the rainforest do we call that really high up?
The canopy?
Lisa: We have been working for a year now on developing curriculum for students and teachers to bring their classes here and do lessons within our biosphere. Every grade level has designated a theme that runs through the rainforest. For example, third grade is teaching about the peoples of the rainforest, and they come in here and they can do science or they can do anything within the curriculum.
Woman: So now, does anybody know what an artifact might be?
Student: An artifact is something from long ago that people used to use.
Lisa: Within this environment, they're learning how everything is connected. It's not just plants and animals. It's how people are interacting with the plants and animals and the types of effects that we have on the environment.
Narrator: The biosphere has become a field-trip destination for other Las Vegas schools, and that gives Vanderburg fifth-graders a chance to act as docents for the visitors.
We're going to go to Rainforests of the World, Central America, to learn more about Guatemala.
This one here is the open-pit copper mine.
Narrator: Another top field-trip destination is McCaw Elementary School, where visitors can explore a replica of a silver mine.
Man: Howdy, boys and girls. Welcome to McCaw School of Mines.
Narrator: Tours in the School of Mines address curriculum standards in history and earth science.
It has all these levels called steps.
Narrator: And in hands-on activities like panning for gold...
Man: Pick up the pan with the ripples away from you.
Narrator: ...McCaw students teach visitors about the science of mining.
Over here are some little drills.
Cheyann: It's very interesting that I get to talk to kids and I get to teach them what they want to learn, and they are always looking at it and talking about it and saying how cool it is.
Man: This is a model of our mine. You can see a chute going up.
Narrator: Community volunteers built and financed the School of Mines, and local architect Bill Snyder volunteered to design it.
Snyder: So we went to Disneyland and we went to the Indiana Jones ride, where they created the illusion of taking people down underground and into a cave situation. So we sort of figured out with the resources that we had what we could do. And it's kind of funny, because the company that built the Indiana Jones ride actually did the work here for us as well, and what we did to get them to do that, we had several kids help us write pleading letters to them, and we took the model that we built of this and we set it in their lobby for about a month before they said, "Okay, we surrender. How can we help?"
Narrator: Local volunteers also help out as docents.
Dorothy: Right now, I have about 35 volunteers, and most of them are retired. Many of them are in their late 70s or early 80s and they love interacting with the kids. And it's amazing how they bond with them. It's a fun thing, and it keeps us young.
Man: Somebody has got to put it here with the hard hat and pick up all the loose stuff.
James: I like kids, and I try to make it interesting for the kids. And anything that will make it interesting for the kids, learn for the kids, learn about Nevada, I'm for it.
It looks good.
Narrator: The Mine School and the biosphere are examples of what can happen when community members, teachers, and students come together to invent new ways to learn.
Carolyn: This is unique, and it is truly thinking outside of the box, moving beyond the status quo, and doing something for children to truly get them excited and turned on about education and about learning.
Lisa: So what's the part underneath the canopy of the rainforest? What's it like?
It has some light, but not much.
Lisa: That's right.
Narrator: For more information on what works in public education, go to Edutopia.org.

It looks super cool! The thumbnail did not do it justice haha. It reminds me of a rug, carpet or something like that. I love the contrast in the colors. The red and blue look lovely together. I also like the design, it's floral-like. 5/5 & favorites.

The Huffington Post UK | By Ashley Percival Posted: 13/04/2012 16:17 Updated: 13/04/2012 16:19
Girls Aloud are pretty much national treasures over here right? But our pals over the pond just don't seem to 'get' our favourite ladies - or more specifically, their accents.
Nearly a year after whole Cheryl Cole and the US X Factor debacle, thick accented Nadine Coyle has tried her luck at trying to win over the US public by appearing as a guest on America's Next Top Model.
But as her ill-fated solo career already proved, anything Cheryl does, Nadine can't do better, as she was subtitled so US viewers could understand her.
Admittedly even we have trouble understanding what comes out of her mouth half the time - which is perhaps what inspired this amazing parody Twitter account - so we probably shouldn't be so surprised. It still made us LOL though.
However, we're not even going to mention the fact that Nadine was credited as a 'former member of Girls Aloud', as that would just send the reunion rumour mill into overdrive...

Seven returning players go to Edmonton
COLORADO SPRINGS, USA USA Hockey announced on Thursday the 22 members of the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship in Canada.Among those on the U.S. roster are seven returning players from last years bronze medal-winning team, including goaltender Jack Campbell (Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds); defencemen Derek Forbort (Univ. of North Dakota) and Jon Merrill (Univ. of Michigan); and forwards Nick Bjugstad (Univ. of Minnesota), Charlie Coyle (Boston Univ.), Emerson Etem (Medicine Hat Tigers) and Jason Zucker (Univ. of Denver).Both Campbell and Zucker were also members of the gold medal-winning 2010 U.S. National Junior Team.Every year this decision seems to get harder, said Jim Johannson, general manager of the 2012 U.S. National Junior Team and also the assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey. The number of talented players from which we get to form a team says a lot about hockey's growth in the United States as a whole.Having been behind the bench when we won the gold medal two years ago, I can't wait to get started again, said Dean Blais, head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team. This is an incredible group of players whose speed and tenacity should help us succeed in Edmonton and Calgary.The U.S. will look to earn its third straight medal after capturing the bronze medal at the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, and the gold medal at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship in Saskatoon.The U.S. National Junior Team is currently in the midst of a pre-tournament camp taking place in Alberta, Canada.

By Scottysize (Sanger, TX) on Oct 30, 2013
Comments: The bad: I can't give it a 5 star rating just because the setup is difficult. You are supposed to pull the cable up through the right arm. They put a very long bread tie through it and you can tie it to the cable, but there are many obstacles in the way as you pull it though making it very difficult to pull up. I spent well over an hour trying to pull it up the leg. In the end it took a cable snake, the bread twisty tie and a long skinny screw driver. I can say, I'll never take it a part again. The good: Well the unit is rock solid and extremely quite for a treadmill. While we still have to turn the TV volume up, it's not so high that it interrupts anyone in another room with the door shut. The cushion system is nice and there's no fatigue walking/running on it. The incline is insane. I tried 30%, but couldn't stay with it very long. I'll have to work up to that level. The Google Maps Street View is a nice addition and helps keep your mind occupied while you're working out. Other Reviewers Negativity: So before I bought it, I read several reviews. In fact, I think I read them all. 1. "Shipping problems" I cannot complain about the shipping. First off, it was free. How can you complain about something you didn't pay for? I got it 1 week after I ordered it. I did have a problem with the shipping company not wanting to keep their appointment, but after complaining to the manager and NordicTrack, they did finally bring me the unit at 7pm. That's a shipping company problem, not NordicTrack. After contacting NordicTrack, they did tell me that they are changing shipping companies. 2. "Running on an incline will break the incline motor" I'm a pretty big boy (230lbs), hence the need for an incline trainer. I ran on it while it was inclined 10%. It still works, but I bought the extended warranty just in case I break it. 3. "Android tablet is not a full version of Android." Ya, so? I wasn't expecting it to be. I have an Android tablet. If I need it, I'll put it in the tray and use it. The NordicTrack Android flavor works fine for what it is. I had to user issues. 1, I didn't put in the safety magnet and it just loops a video about iFit. 2, At first I couldn't update the software, but I didn't try turning it off and back on. I was able to update after a reboot. 4. "Price is high" I didn't think so. Especially since I looks at just about every machine there was. I'd say it was priced rather low. Even after getting iFit for 3 years, the longest extended warranty, and the mat, I still only paid $3000. I'd highly recommend this machine based on 1 months' use. My wife and I have worked out on it for an hour every other day since setting up. No issues and it works great.

Spinning Tow.Walks to and fro Before a wheel. What does she there? The child is spinning tow. In through the open window comes The scented breeze; With drowsy wing the wild bee hums Out in the orchard trees. The blue sky bends, the flowers are sweet, As children know; Yet with deft hands and steady feet, This child keeps spinning tow, Still works she; steady mounts the sun Through the skies of May,___ The small task ends; the skein is spun; The girl bounds out to play. She learns life's lesson young you say? 'Tis better so. That life is toil as well as play, She learns here spinning tow. Years pass. Beside her own hearthstone A woman stands With steady eye and cheerful tone, Brave heart and willing hands. This matron, who on household ways Glides to and fro, Learned when a child, on soft spring days, Life's lesson, spinning tow. __Ellen P. Allerton. |

How Severe Weather Impacts School Schedules
Posted: 8:25 PM Jan 30, 2013
Reporter: Chip Scarborough
How Severe Weather Impacts School Schedules
Severe weather can raise a number of concerns about safety, including what to do about school closings or delays.
Southeast Lauderdale High School principal Dwane Taylor tells Newscenter 11 there are a number of things to consider when deciding whether to close or delay the start of school. He says officials must think about working parents, school bus drivers, and the fact that they have to plan ahead. Taylor says by delaying the start of school instead of canceling it, it prevents losing an entire day of instruction and also from having to take holidays away from students.
"If they tack the day on at the end of the year, the way I feel about it, we have actually lost a day of instruction as far as getting ready for the state test," Taylor says. "And I'd rather be here. We're meeting every class today."
School got underway in Lauderdale County and most everywhere at 10:00 on Wednesday morning.
