The bar stools look so nice put together. They seem to be very sturdy and easily cleaned. People thought I was crazy buying white, with kids, but they have stayed clean and look very nice so far (about a month of use so far). They are very pretty in my gray and white kitchen, with dark cabinets and floors. The only negative would be that I heard from the guys in my family that they were NOT fun to put together. :-)
When I read the other reviews I was excited to order these - what a great price for stylish stools! First, the box came completely destroyed and busting open. Second, there were no instructions (probably fell out). Third, my wonderful husband attempted to put these together and they are not counter height at all - WAY TOO TALL�these are bar height. I'm severely disappointed in these and they are going straight back.
Not easy to assemble! This product is of good quality and it looks great in my kitchen bar. One thing I will say is that the assembly instructions (1 page ) where not clear and it took me a very long time to put together. If you know nothing about putting furniture together this is not something I would recommend.
Style and uniqueness. These are the two main words that characterize these amazing bar stools for me. It was great changing my dark and old bar stools into these fresh, elegant and new ones, on a price that was way below my expectations. The quality is great, the stools are really comfortable, and the look beautiful. Thank you for an excellent service.
I do not understand why some people were complaining about the instructions. The instructions were very easy to comprehend (I am a Young Female). Once I put up the two bar stools, it looked as if I paid couple of hundred dollars for the pair. It took me two hours to assemble due to my drill dying on me. My friends can�t believe how much I paid for them. What a steal!!!!
Once the stools were put together,they are beautiful. The instructions are terrible,, it took hours fo put together .
These look great in my kitchen. Bought the black. Easy to clean, still look new after almost a year and very sturdy!
Gorgeous bar stools! I was a little nervous with the reviews that they might be hard to put together but that wanst the case at all. I was very pleased that they are true white. The look more expersive than what I paid for the two of them. Love them! Don't hesitate
These bar stools are gorgeous, sturdy and very comfortable. I agree with several others that they are not exactly the easiest to put together, but my husband and I did it together, and after getting the first one done, the others were not as difficult. Directions are not real detailed! However, they are well worth the time it took to put them together. They are definitely designed for a higher counter - we had our contractor build our island to accommodate their height, so that was not a problem for us. They look very expensive and I think we will be using them for years to come in our newly remodeled kitchen. Excellent choice! And a really great set of chairs for the money. You will not be disappointed. One more note - the steel foot rest is a very smart addition to these chairs - it actually can spin around in place, and won't show wear like wood would.

Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- 1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoons ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Asian garlic chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Heat broiler. Slice eggplant into 3/4-inch-thick rounds; cut each round into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Transfer to a broiler-proof rimmed baking sheet; toss with coarse salt and ground pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients; drizzle over eggplant, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer.
Step 3
Broil, tossing once, until eggplant is browned and tender, about 15 minutes.

This is our go-to eggplant recipe. Love the spicy kick and the asian flavors. Plus it is so easy! Agree that mixing the eggplant in a bowl or plastic bag provides a better coating. Delish!
MrsMunch22 Dec, 2010
This was delicious! I served it over a bowl of rice. Makes a hearty meal.
VaMartha3 Oct, 2010
I cut the salt in halve. Very salty otherwise.
I also prefer them cut smaller (1/2 inch instead of 3/4)
I sometimes toss the eggplant in a bowl or bag with the sauce instead of drizzling it for better coverage and this recipe says for 4 but if you are n eggplant nut, it may be for ONE!
Love this one! -

To Vegas, or Not To Vegas?
by Ted Sullivan
posted Sep 26 2013 12:22PM
What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Unless your name is Britney Spears and you signed a $30 million deal for a two-year residency, because in that case you sure would. There comes a point in some artist's careers when they have reached that legendary status that merits a retrospective peek back into their musical journey. Though with Vegas comes plenty of contingencies, posing the question: is the prestigious Sin City residency the best career move?
With the recent announcement of Britney's Vegas deal, you could almost hear the money being thrown left and right. A massive remodel of the Planet Hollywood resort venue, a reported $100k press stunt on
Good Morning America
(helicopter desert landing included), and the list goes on. The show,
Britney Spears: Piece of Me
, is being billed as an intimate 90-minute concert experience with a club meets theater vibe. In total, Spears is slated to perform a total of 100 shows between 2014 and 2015 with the possibility of adding even more. And despite the rumor mill churning with stories of bombing at the box office, reps for both Spears and Ceasers Entertainment insist that the shows are selling fantastically well and the demand has them scrambling to unveil the next batch of dates. Flights are being purchased and hotels are being booked as Britney fans from all over the world prep their mass migration.
The deal comes with limitations though, as it has been speculated that it ensures the only place to see Spears perform domestically for the next two years in the will be on the Strip. With her eighth studio album dropping in early December, this blocks out the possibility of an actual tour… something foreign to the pop music scene. However for Britney, this deal couldn't be working out more in her favor if she tried. Not only does she get to be stationed in one place for extended periods with her children and avoid the constant travel, she's getting paid likely the same amount (if not more) as she would per show on the road! Tour or no tour, the album will sell and the singles will be hits because she is at a stage in her career where that isn't even a question. It takes a true superstar to sit pretty and have the fans come to you, and if anyone can do it, it's Britney… b***h.

Snow (Board Buddies) : A rabbit sits in a rocking chair with a rabbit child on his lap and reminisces about the first snow of winter when he was a child. His memories are universal ones - struggling into a snowsuit, catching snowflakes on your tongue, making snowmen (or snowrabbits, as the case may be), and coming inside for hot chocolate.

Eckhart Tolle: When You Don't Know What to DoPosted: Tue 11/06/2012 08:00 AM
This Sunday, Oprah and Eckhart Tolle are reuniting for an hour of enlightenment and discussing how best to live in the present moment. Before then, read on and find out how to arrive at a new clarity when we're standing at one of life's crossroads.
Photo: David Ellingsen One scenario: Due
to budget cuts, you may—or may not—be losing your job, and you're not
sure if you should take the much-lower-paying job at another company or
just stay where you are in case things work out. Another: With the birth
of your new baby, you need to move, and you can't make up your mind
between the neighborhood with the good public school and the one where
the houses are actually in your budget. Yet another: After seven years
together, your marriage has turned into a relentless series of bitter
arguments, but you're not certain if you should try to reconcile or
finally end the relationship.
All of us have had these kinds of experiences—times when we have to decide something and we just don't know what to do. The first step is usually to collect information. You have to look at the facts of the situation: What's for and what's against. But even then, you still may not be able to come to a conclusion. For example, if you're choosing between two three-bedroom houses, and they're just about the same price, and they're in just the same kind of neighborhood, you're not going to get very far. Pros and cons are one level of decision-making but not the most vital one. When we can't make up our minds, it's because of our minds, or what I call "the voice in your head." Many people don't even know they have this voice. But it's talking away, creating a never-ending inner monologue. Sometimes the voice is even engaged in a dialogue, because it splits into two and you start talk to yourself. The chatter is so incessant it's like having a continuous humming sound from a refrigerator or an air conditioner in the room with you and after a while, you don't hear it anymore. During tough choices, this voice isn't very helpful. Often it criticizes, keeping a running commentary about you and all the things you did wrong or you just didn't do. It criticizes others as well. It's like living with somebody who can't stand you, much less anybody else. You wouldn't want to live with a person like that. You would walk out of the relationship. But since you can't get free of your mind, you're stuck. The result? You get discouraged. You can't see the positive side to what might come from your decisions. The voice in your head also creates a huge amount of problems that aren't really problems. They're just things that haven't happened yet, things that could happen tomorrow or next week. Listening to unreal problems has another name: worrying. That's what the voice in your head does. It what-ifs. It frets. It agonizes, and you can no longer sense the joy of life. What to do when the voice in your head begins to complain >> Related Resources

Deepak Chopra: How to Recognize Life's AbundancePosted: Thu 11/01/2012 08:00 AM
Now more than ever before, anxiety about loss of income has replaced the sense of abundance and fulfillment. Most of our fears about not having "enough" are about money and time. But what about a lack of emotional fulfillment, a lack of love, a lack of creative solutions? Abundance is all-embracing. At least it should be. The most crucial thing to understand is that abundance begins in the mind. Do you believe you only lack something because you haven't yet found a creative way to solve the problem? Or do you believe there's never enough to go around, unfair stuff happens, and there's not much you can do about it? Choosing a belief system that cultivates abundance is crucial. But how do we do it? The simplest way to look at this—and also the most productive—is to recognize that you are always processing your life. There is input and output, forming a feedback loop. Input is the term for all the experiences that come your way during the day, while output is all your responses: your thoughts, words and actions. You are the one who oversees both. You sift through the input, evaluate it and take what you like, while rejecting what you don't like. Nothing is more crucial than your contribution to the feedback loop: You are the one who colors everything that comes your way, using intention, belief, expectation, wishes, hopes, dreams and fears. No input is neutral, because you are emotionally invested in your experiences. At the other end of the process, when you produce output, you again color it the same way. Your thoughts, words and actions indicate how involved you are in your life. Thus the circle of personal reality is shaped, every minute of every day. Abundance reveals itself when you build a feedback loop that can accept and build upon what life has to offer. Look at the familiar story of lottery winners who are worse off 10 years after their sudden windfall. Why? Because they couldn't adapt. They processed life on a limited scale, and suddenly they were asked to process millions of dollars, massive attention, public exposure and the demands of people around them. Unless you have prepared the way, abundance itself can turn into a drain on you. The secret is to constantly build in small steps, taking advantage of small victories by using them to create your own belief system, one that can accept higher and higher levels of opportunity. Here are a few guidelines that you can use... Get Deepak's guidelines on how to recognize abundance in your life Advertisement

Shorea Wood: An Eco-Friendly Choice
Like teak, it's more expensive counterpart, Shorea is a high-quality hardwood praised not only for its looks, but also for its longevity and resistance to decay. Shorea is hard and dense, like teak. In fact, it possesses an even tighter wood grain, making it heavier, denser, and harder than teak, and both woods are extremely resistant to decay. Shorea wood contains a comparatively high oil content, which not only enhances its defenses against the ravages of time and changing climate, but also against destructive insect infestations. So if teak and Shorea are so similar, why does teak cost up to twice as much? Shorea's lower cost can be attributed to its abundance compared to teak's rarity.
This abundance of supply is also what makes Shorea a green choice. Shorea wood is carefully regulated. Only mature trees can be legally harvested. This ensures a steady supply of Shorea wood, while also protecting irreplaceable forests. Because Oxford Garden obtains their Shorea wood from superior sources, minimal processing is required to bring out the wood's stunning color and grains. This means less chemicals used. Oxford Garden's factories use recycled wood to fuel production kilns. They take steps to conserve natural resources and the result is a smaller carbon footprint.
Why Choose Oxford Garden?
Exquisite pieces and impressive product assortment aside, there are several factors that set Oxford Garden apart from the competition. First, Oxford Garden starts with the best Shorea wood sources. This results in more beautiful, more durable furniture. The next thing that distinguishes them is their unrivaled craftsmanship. They take pride in meticulous construction of each product. In fact, Oxford Garden has a unique, multiple quality checkpoint system to be sure you're getting the best. Most of their products go through rigorous consumer safety tests, and before they package any product, they put it together themselves to ensure it assembles seamlessly for you. Thirdly, Oxford Garden believes furniture should be comfortable and attractive. They create ergonomic pieces designed to accommodate the contours of the human body. Finally, by using Shorea wood, Oxford Garden is able to bring you affordable luxury. Their superb craftsmanship ensures longevity for years of enjoyable use, while their incomparable designs are centered on comfort and beauty.

Wood Care Instructions
After assembly, furniture should be rinsed well with water to remove dust left over from manufacturing. This should be done before placing on concrete or tile to prevent staining. Since Shorea has such high oil content and is so dense, it weathers well outside without maintenance at all. Shorea will weather naturally to silver gray. While the weather process may change its color, the grain will still be smooth. You may treat each piece with Teak oil to prolong weathering.
A seasonal cleaning may be desired. This can be done easily with a mild solution of water, laundry detergent, and a little bleach. Just rinse the furniture and use a sponge or soft bristle brush to scrub the furniture with the solution. Lastly, rinse the furniture with more fresh water.
If the original warm brown color is preferred, Oxford Garden suggests any teak oil to be used seasonally to preserve the color. The application of oil is simply cosmetic. Test in an inconspicuous spot to approve the color before applying to the whole piece of furniture. Application of oil is at the customer's discretion and is not included in the warranty. If the original wood color is preferred after graying has begun, Oxford Garden recommends using a wood cleaner to restore the color. Follow up with a new application of teak oil.
Painting or using polyurethane is NOT recommended due to the high oil content of shorea wood. Because some surface roughness may develop early in the weathering process, a very light sanding may be desired to smooth out the roughness. Follow up with a dry rough cleaning sponge to remove any remaining sawdust.

AMD takes 28nm Kabini, Temash APU production to TSMC
Despite starting up as a joint venture in 2009, GlobalFoundries and AMD haven't had the best of relationships over the years, with the latter blaming 32nm manufacturing issues for lower-than-expected revenue in 2011. As problems persisted towards the end of that year news broke that AMD had cancelled two upcoming 28nm APUs -- Wichita and Krishna -- and would instead work on follow-up designs with TSMC.
The company has remained quiet regarding the switch, even after giving up the remaining of its 10% minority stake on the semiconductor foundry in March 2012 and swallowing a $320 million penalty for reducing their wafer purchase commitments. But now, according to ExtremeTech, AMD has let slip that Kabini and Temash are indeed being built at TSMC, with the struggling company expected to ship in Q2 of this year.
AMD is billing these as the industry's first quad-core x86 system-on-chips. Kabini will take over AMD's A4 and A6 brands and is designed to take on Intel on the ultra-thin notebook segment, with up to 50% more compute performance than current-generation Brazos 2.0 (marketed under the E Series). Temash replaces the Hondo-based Z-Series as AMD's tablet and hybrid APU with double the graphics performance.
ExtremeTech speculates that AMD's decision to market Kabini APUs under the A Series brand means the new chip is strong enough to close the gap with mainstream notebooks, though the latest roadmap suggests some variants will also carry the E Series denomination AMD used for budget notebooks and netbooks.
Despite moving production to TSMC, AMD is not breaking all ties with GlobalFoundries yet. In fact, their long term commitment to shifting its entire production to GlobalFoundries is reportedly unchanged, but the company had to buy itself some flexibility in sourcing its chips as its former partner ironed out production issues.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
It's very good to see AMD looking for new ways to innovate.
It is sad that they have to, but atleast this will allow them to regain some lost ground!
So we now now have enough power and efficiency is slowly but surely getting much much better (for both amd, intel and those who make ARM CPUs) --> when will batteries actually improve? we are still talking about hours... when we need days!
AMD announce that they're going with TSMC for APU fabbing.
The year is sixteen days old, and I doubt that as a candidate for obvious press release of the year this will be dethroned by the time December 31st rolls around.
Maybe AMD can become a little more dynamic in the marketplace without the GloFo boat anchor tied around their necks.
Come on AMD. You could use a win for once.

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- During debate, some Capital Area Assemblymen opposed the bill because, they say, it denies people a constitutional right to defend their home.
"Right and I don't really want to wait for a potential tragedy of a home being invaded and losing a family because they obeyed this law and only had seven bullets in a magazine when there were two or three animals coming in to do them harm, so it cuts both ways," said Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin.
"I think this is a tragic day for freedom and for liberty, not just in this state, but in the world," Assemblyman Jim Tedisco said.
Freshman Senator Kathy Marchione of Saratoga was also one of 18 senators to oppose the legislation.

As everyone knows, Michigan J. Frog, before he became a shill for a now defunct television network, was the amphibian who ruined a hapless man's life in "Merrie Melodies." He had a beautiful voice, and great stage presence, but he would only sing when only the man was watching. The minute the man tried to show off his talents, or make money off of them, all Michigan would say was "ribbit." If Meg could say "ribbit" when we pulled out the cameras, she would. Of course, that would be entertaining, so she probably wouldn't. She would say it the minute we put the camera away though.
This morning she was laughing up a storm. Really, you would have thought Ryan and I were the funniest people in the world the way she was cracking up. And all we were doing was making baby noises while tickling her sides. I grabbed the camera. I hid behind Ryan and I turned it on. Ribbit. She couldn't even see me, but she could sense the camera was on, and suddenly, she was off.
Same thing with the rolling over. Three times in a row she pushed herself over from her tummy to her back. The fourth time? While the camera was rolling? She sucked on her hands and then started to cry. I guess she wanted it documented how mean I am to her.
I would love to say she was just having an off weekend, but really, this is how she is. Meg is one of the most smiley babies in the world, though you wouldn't know it from the pictures. We have been able to capture her smiling only twice, and both times were on crappy cell phone cameras. Trying to get her to smile, or keep her smiling, with a good camera up and ready is an impossibility. Oh, wait, she will smile -- if the camera malfunctions.
Maybe I will chisel a picture of Meg smiling. Don't know how I will prove she laughs though...

There is nothing like the sound of an infant laugh. If that doesn't make you smile, nothing will! - November 1, 2009 at 10:08 PM

Lola is exactly the same way. She's like, "Screw you mom and dad. I'm the one in charge." The second we put the camera down, she's back to the smiling and giggling.

Mea was hard to catch on camera smiling, too. Now she cheeses, and I can't get any regular pictures...she will also come get me to tell me to take a picture...look at my tower mama, look at my dolly, just wait.

I LOVE that picture!
When my daughter was little, I taught her the alphabet and how to count, all the good stuff, and she would REFUSE to do it in front of her father. He would get so mad. I would just laugh! - November 2, 2009 at 7:34 AM

I used to say the same thing about Jarrah! :) She was Michigan J. Frog. The best example was when we tried to get her to say "Uh-oh" (her one word) on cue for our short film, and no matter what we tried, she just stared at us. Then, weeks later, we were screening the film for the family, and in the exact (silent) spot where we had wanted her to perform, she announced "Uh-oh" to the crowd of viewers. It was classic. :)

Bottle share at Proof courtesy of sconnell. Pours a clear straw. Almost no head or collar. Aroma is grassy, funky, and some white grape. Taste is tart, light lemon, some faint earth. Medium-high carbonation despite the lack of head or collar. Good light, crisp body. It does hide the 5.5% well.

Thanks to scoobydank for this bottle of a brewery I haven't approached since having back-to-back infected bottles, albeit quite a while back. Another go? Why not. 22 oz. bottle with stark black-on-white label split with my wife after too much good Thai food.
The pour yelps 'summer!' even though it's snowing Armageddon one state over, light orange, with a head that collapses into nadda in minutes. Clear, though I left the last few ounces in the bottle. Nose is tar orange/lemon with a nice side of sour-tinged spring wheat. Promising.
White Birch Berliner Wiesse gives me hope this little brewery doesn't suck anymore. Nice citric lemon base that is neither too sour nor too wheaty. The wheat come on after the tartness passes, & finishes with a jolt of acidity. Lack of caronbation dints what should be a very drinkable beer: by halfway through it's close to dead flat.
Well not everything was perfect, but this is a pretty good beer. A few more bubbles would have jacked up my score & really turned this into a nice post-lawnmower beer.

Okay so what do you pumpers do when you run? I'm still new to the pump but haven't really done solid running on it yet. I've just been lifting and know how to account my basal and ratios to that accordingly---but i know running will be COMPLETELY different unfortunately.
On MDI i would usually have 17u of lantus when i was in phases where I didn't do cardio much- then when i did do cardio my Lantus would be around 12.
I dunno, I haven't gotten a lot of medical advice about what I do? I don't like to run up to 200 ever.
my first tri as a diabetic i started at 180 and had a really good race. Since then i have started at 180 but with no insulin in board and bombed out. Last week i ran them to 16mmols, way too high and finished albeit slowly!
I rekon 200 and below.
Here is what works for me...I am very insulin sensitive so I reduce my bolus by 80% preferrably an hour prior to my run. I like to be up in the 140's when I start my run. I have a GU every 3-4 miles, and on long runs I have G2 in one of my fuel belt flasks. I have a snack when I get home.
I have had to postpone a long run or 2 if I am having one of those days with mulitple lows where the sugars just don't want to go where they need to be.
I have the OmniPod, which truly is wonderful for running, for me. Good luck!!

Hands-on Learning, Part One of a Three-part Series
In chatting with some homeschool moms several years ago, the question came up, "How do you motivate your kids to do their schoolwork?"
One woman shared frustration over constantly battling with her son. She would send him to his room everyday to do his schoolwork, and when she checked on him later she would find that he had hardly accomplished anything at all. Some of the other ladies expressed having similar experiences in their homes.
I quickly realized that these really sweet, well-intentioned moms were missing the heart of home education. They were mistakenly equating education with completed workbooks. What was missing was the opportunity for rich learning experiences and the relationship-building interaction homeschooling can provide.
Thinking about my own family's homeschool journey and what has helped us to thrive, I recognized the stark contrast between a home where completing curriculum is the goal versus a home where learning is a hands-on, multi-sensory, interactive adventure.
Yes, our children still need to complete their math problems and reading assignments, but there is a way to create an atmosphere where the joy of discovery and the thrill of deeper understanding are common in our homes.
You've undoubtedly heard the William Butler Yeats quote, "Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." The goal of our home education experience should not be to cram a particular set of information into our children's brains. Rather, when we waken interest and kindle enthusiasm, our children can develop a great love of learning that will last a lifetime.
An amusingly descriptive quote by Arthur Prince goes like this: "Education which is simply intellectual taxidermy – the scooping out of the mind and the stuffing in of facts – that kind of education is worthless. The human mind is not a deep-freeze for storage; the human mind is a forge for production."
A love of learning coupled with an understanding that a child is created by God, and that He has a plan for his or her life, will provide a solid foundation of inspiration and purpose in each child. There are no limits to what one can become or achieve in this kind of environment.
We can avoid the trap of being consumed with "doing school" and, instead, focus on developing the love of learning in our children by incorporating hands-on learning in our daily home education enterprise.
We were created to experience the world around us through our senses. Look for ways to incorporate the five senses ... touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight ... whenever possible.
It's helpful to know your child's learning style so that you can find curriculum and present information to them in the way that will be most easily received for them. It's also important to expose your child to all three styles of learning. The more ways they encounter information, the more apt they are to learn it, and the more adept they will be at receiving instruction in various forms.
- AUDITORY: Do things that involve the student listening and also speaking.
- VISUAL: Do things that involve the student seeing as well as representing in visual form (drawing, painting, writing).
- KINESTHETIC: Do things that involve physical movement and touch.
If you have more than one child, look for opportunities to teach them together. History, science, and literature are excellent subjects for teaching children of varying ages.
If you're all learning about Ancient Egypt, for example, you can simply create more challenging, in-depth assignments for older children, while having younger children do activities that are appropriate for their age and ability.
Teaching children together saves preparation time and makes learning even more fun because it is something you are sharing as a family!
In all my years of homeschooling, this was one of the most revolutionary ideas for me! I had wrongly assumed that once my children learned to read, my reading aloud days were over. Thankfully, this notion was challenged early on by a friend of mine! Even up into their teen years, I have read aloud to my girls. We have shared quite an adventure together reading biographies and other great books this way.
Select some quiet activities to have available for your children to do while you read to them. My girls often enjoyed working on a project while I read (painting, drawing, knitting, making collages, etc.).
Reading aloud works well with children of varying ages. It helps expose younger children to new vocabulary and they have opportunity to enjoy literature that may be beyond their current reading levels. I regularly read books aloud that went with whatever we were studying for history.
Learning with lots of hands-on activities is a bit like making pickles! If you take a cucumber and dip it quickly into a bowl of vinegar, the cucumber might have a little vinegar on its skin, but it will remain unchanged. But when you soak a cucumber in a salty brine and spices, heating it and cooling it, and letting it sit for a period of time in that mixture, the cucumber becomes infused with those flavors, changing it into a new creation—the pickle.
Incorporating hands-on learning activities helps us infuse our children with the love of learning and a broader understanding of a topic as they are exposed to information in more and varied ways.
The act of reading a chapter and answering questions, for most children, is like being dipped in the information quickly and then removed. Minimal saturation occurs. If they read it, talk about it, re-tell it, paint about it, play a game about it, taste it, hear music associated with it, and get to show someone else how it works, that knowledge becomes part of their being—useable and alive.
For the majority of human beings, the following statement holds true:
I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
If I watch someone build a birdhouse, I've witnessed a demonstration. If I get the chance to build one myself, I've gained understanding and skill.
We make our job as homeschooling parents easier when we teach in a way that sparks interest and enthusiasm in our children.
You don't need to invest a lot of time or money to make your homeschool experience a rich adventure. Look for little ways along the way to make learning a joy for your child. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes!

Justin Brooks Verlander (born February 20, 1983) is an American professional baseball pitcher with the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball (MLB).
In 2006, Verlander was named the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year.[1] On June 12, 2007, he pitched a no-hitter—the first ever at Comerica Park—against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out 12 batters and walking four.[2] He pitched a second no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on May 7, 2011, in Toronto, walking one and facing the minimum 27 batters.[3] On November 15, 2011, Verlander was named the 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner by a unanimous vote, becoming the first American League pitcher since Johan Santana in 2006 to win the award in such a fashion. On November 21, 2011, Verlander was voted the AL Most Valuable Player (MVP), winning with 280 points over Jacoby Ellsbury's 242, completing a sweep of the Cy Young Award and MVP.[4] David Waldstein of The New York Times has called Verlander "indeed one of the best pitchers of his generation".[5]
Baseball career[edit]
Amateur career[edit]
Verlander's father Richard sent Verlander to The Richmond Baseball Academy. He was able to throw his fastball 84 mph (135 km/h) shortly after joining the academy. His velocity plateaued at 86 mph (138 km/h) during his senior year at Goochland High School, during which he was sidetracked by strep throat.[6] Verlander's velocity reached 87 mph (140 km/h) during his first year at Old Dominion.
Verlander, a 6′ 5", 200 pound (1.96 m, 91 kg) right-handed pitcher, played for the Old Dominion University baseball team for three years. On May 17, 2002, he struck out a then-school record 17 batters against James Madison. In 2003, he set a school single-season record by recording 139 strikeouts. In 2004, he broke his own record and established a new Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) record with 151 strikeouts. Verlander completed his career as the all-time strikeout leader in Old Dominion, the CAA and the Commonwealth of Virginia (Division I) history with 427 in 335⅔ innings. During his three years, he averaged 11.5 strikeouts per nine innings and his career collegiate earned run average (ERA) was 2.57.
Verlander pitched for the USA national baseball team in 2003 and helped the USA to a silver medal in the Pan American Games. He was named CAA Rookie of the Year in 2002 and earned All-CAA honors in 2003 and 2004. Verlander was named the ODU Alumni Association's Male Athlete of the Year in 2004, and was the second overall pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft by the Detroit Tigers.
Minor leagues[edit]
Verlander's professional baseball career began when the Detroit Tigers selected him second overall in the 2004 MLB Draft. He signed a contract on October 25, 2004. Verlander made his professional debut in 2005. He played for two of Detroit's minor league affiliates, the Lakeland Flying Tigers (A+) and the Erie SeaWolves (AA), and also started two games for the Tigers in July. After posting a 9–2 record and a 1.67 ERA in 13 starts for Lakeland, Verlander joined the SeaWolves on June 20.
On July 4, 2005, Verlander started against the Cleveland Indians and pitched 5⅓ innings, gave up four runs and was credited with a loss. He also made a start against the Minnesota Twins 19 days later. Verlander lost both of his major league starts in 2005, but in seven starts with Erie, he was 2–0 and his ERA was 0.28. Tightness in his right shoulder caused Verlander's season to end in early August when he was placed on the disabled list. Verlander was recognized as a Florida State League all–star, was a starting pitcher in the Futures Game and, according to Baseball America, was Detroit's highest rated prospect.[1]
Detroit Tigers (2005–present)[edit]
Verlander made his Major League debut on July 4, 2005. He went 0–2 with a 7.15 ERA in his only 2 starts of the season.
In his first full Major League season, Verlander went 17–9 with a 3.63 ERA, striking out 124 batters in 186 innings. On July 4, 2006, at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland, California, Verlander, Joel Zumaya, and Fernando Rodney each threw multiple fastballs over 100 mph (160 km/h), becoming the first time in MLB history that three pitchers, on the same team, had done so during a game.[citation needed] He allowed one stolen base in 2006 and picked off seven baserunners. In 2006, he became the first rookie pitcher in the history of the game to win 10 games before the end of June and was named AL Rookie of the Year at the end of the season. During Game 1 of the 2006 World Series, Verlander was the Tigers starting pitcher against Anthony Reyes of the St. Louis Cardinals; it was the first instance in which two rookies faced off to start a World Series.[7]
His success continued in 2007, as he accumulated 18 wins and posted a 3.66 ERA with 183 strikeouts in 201⅔ innings. On June 12, Verlander recorded a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out 12 while throwing a fastball 102 mph (164 km/h).
In 2008, Verlander lost four consecutive games before winning his first one. He led the MLB in losses with 17. Overall, he finished the 2008 season with an 11–17 win–loss record and a 4.84 ERA.
In 2009, Verlander finished with a 19–9 record, an ERA of 3.45 and an MLB-leading 269 strikeouts, the most by a Tiger since Mickey Lolich's 308 in 1971.[8] Verlander finished third in the AL Cy Young Award voting behind winner Zack Greinke and runner-up Félix Hernández.
In the offseason, Verlander and the Tigers reached a deal for a five-year, $80 million contract extension.[9] On July 3, Verlander earned his 10th win of the season. This marked the fourth time in five years he has had double digit wins before the All-Star break. On September 18, Verlander beat the Chicago White Sox, throwing a complete game to earn his 17th win of the season. Verlander was the first pitcher to win 17 games in four of his first five seasons since Dwight Gooden.[10] He finished the 2010 season with an 18–9 record and 3.37 ERA.
On April 22, Verlander recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in a 9–3 win over the White Sox, becoming the 15th Tiger to do so.[11] On May 7, he recorded his second career no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays, throwing four strikeouts, walking one batter and throwing at a maximum speed of 101 mph (163 km/h) on the radar gun. He carried a perfect game into the eighth inning before allowing a walk to J. P. Arencibia, who was the only Blue Jays batter to reach base in the game. Arencibia was erased on a double-play, so Verlander faced the minimum 27 batters for the game.[3] Verlander became the second Tigers pitcher since Virgil Trucks, and the 30th pitcher in the history of baseball, to throw multiple no-hitters. On his next start, against the Kansas City Royals on May 13, Verlander took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before surrendering a triple. Altogether, he pitched 15⅔ consecutive no-hit innings, spread over three starts.
On June 14, Verlander took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. He pitched 7⅓ innings until he gave up a base hit to Cleveland's Orlando Cabrera. Verlander ended up with a complete game shutout allowing two hits. In his next start on June 19, he threw another complete game allowing a solo home run to Ty Wigginton.[12] On June 25, he recorded a career-high 14 strikeouts against Arizona.[13] Verlander was selected to his fourth AL All-Star team, but he was unable to participate in the game due to the scheduling of his starts.
On July 31, Verlander took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before surrendering a single to Maicer Izturis. He walked two and struck out nine. On August 11, Verlander won his 100th major league game against the Cleveland Indians. On August 27, he became the first pitcher in the Major Leagues to reach 20 wins for the season. The victory also made Verlander the first Tiger since Bill Gullickson in 1991 to win 20 games, and the first Major League pitcher since Curt Schilling in 2002 to reach 20 wins before the end of August.[14]
By the end of the season, Verlander had won the Triple Crown of pitching in the AL, leading the league in wins (24), strikeouts (250; tied for sixth most in Tigers history) and ERA (2.40).[15] Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw clinched the NL Triple Crown earlier in the week, making it the first since 1924 that a season featured a Triple Crown pitcher in both leagues. Verlander also led the AL in innings pitched (251) and win-loss percentage (.828; sixth-best in Tigers history).[16] Throughout the season, he never had an outing in which he threw fewer than six innings or 100 pitches. Through 2011, Verlander had the best career strikeouts/9 innings percentage in Tigers history (8.3), and the second-best career win–loss percentage (.652; also the fourth-best percentage of all active pitchers).[16][17]
In 2011, Verlander received the AL Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award, The Sporting News Player of the Year Award, a Players Choice Award for Player the Year and Most Outstanding American League pitcher, and a USA Today American League Cy Young. Verlander was named the cover athlete of Major League Baseball 2K12.[18]
Verlander won both the 2011 AL Cy Young Award and the AL MVP Award. He was the first pitcher to claim an AL MVP Award since Dennis Eckersley in 1992, the first starting pitcher to do so since Roger Clemens in 1986, and the third Tiger starter to do so in franchise history, joining Denny McLain and Hal Newhouser. Verlander unanimously won the 2011 AL Cy Young Award,[19] but won the AL MVP in a much closer vote. Verlander edged out Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury, 280 points to 242 points, while collecting 13 of 28 first-place votes.[20]
On May 18, Verlander took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates before giving up a one-out single in a 6–0 victory. It was his first career complete game one-hitter, his 16th complete game overall, and sixth career shutout. Verlander, who struck out 12 in the game, was hitting the upper-90s and 100 mph (160 km/h) into the eighth inning.[21]
Verlander was named to the American League team roster and AL starting pitcher[22] in the All-Star Game. Verlander was joined by teammates Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera, the former voted as a starter.[23] At the All-Star break, Verlander had a 9–5 record and a 2.58 ERA in 18 games, and was leading the AL in innings pitched (132⅔), strikeouts (128) and complete games (five). He pitched one inning and gave up five runs. Verlander finished the 2012 regular season with a 17–8 record. He ranked first in the American League in innings pitched (238 1⁄3), strikeouts (239) and complete games (six),[24] while also ranking second in ERA (2.64).
In the 2012 ALDS against the Oakland Athletics, Verlander started Game 1 and won a 3–1 decision. In the deciding fifth game of the series, he pitched a complete-game shutout allowing four hits as the Tigers won 6–0 and advanced to the 2012 ALCS. The victory marked the first time in MLB history that a pitcher recorded more than 10 strikeouts in a winner-take-all postseason shutout.[25] Verlander's 22 strikeouts in the series set a record for an ALDS.[26]
Verlander made his only appearance in the 2012 ALCS in Game 3 against the New York Yankees. He earned a 2–1 win, blanking the Yankees hitters on two hits through eight innings (running his 2012 postseason scoreless streak to 24 innings) before surrendering a leadoff home run in the ninth inning to Eduardo Núñez.
He pitched Game 1 of the 2012 World Series against the San Francisco Giants and gave up five earned runs in four innings pitched, including giving up two home runs to eventual World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval.
Verlander had finished second to David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays in a close AL Cy Young Award race. Verlander collected 149 points (12 first-place votes) to Price's 153 points (13 first-place votes).[27] Verlander won (tie with David Price) his second consecutive AL The Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award.
Prior to the 2013 season, Verlander and the Tigers reached a seven-year, $180 million contract, with a $22 million vesting option for 2020 if he finishes in the top five in Cy Young Award voting in 2019. This contract made him the highest-paid pitcher in MLB history.[28]
Verlander made his sixth-consecutive Opening Day start for the Tigers against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis and won 4–2.[29] In a May 11 game against the Cleveland Indians, Verlander recorded his 1,500th career strikeout.[30]
Verlander was selected as a reserve pitcher for the American League All-Star team by his manager, Jim Leyland, who managed the 2013 AL team. It was Verlander's sixth All-Star selection, but due to him starting a game on July 14 for the Tigers, he was declared unavailable for the July 16 All-Star game. Entering the All-Star break, Verlander had a 10–6 record, 125 strikeouts and a 3.50 ERA.[31]
Verlander finished the 2013 regular season with a 13–12 record, a 3.46 ERA, and 217 strikeouts. His 2181⁄3 innings pitched were the lowest total since his 2008 season.
In Game 2 of the 2013 ALDS, Verlander struck out 11 Oakland Athletics hitters in seven shutout innings. Verlander did not get the win as the Tigers lost the game, 1–0, in the bottom of the ninth inning. In Game 5 of the same series, Verlander pitched eight shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in a 3–0 victory, taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning. The win sent the Tigers to the American League Championship Series for the third consecutive year.[32] Verlander defeated the Athletics in Game 5 of the ALDS for the second straight season and is one of four starting pitchers in Major League history to have multiple wins in elimination postseason games, joining Bob Gibson, Chris Carpenter and Matt Cain.[33]
Verlander has thrown 30 consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason against the Athletics, a major league record for a pitcher versus one team, surpassing Christy Mathewson's 28 scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Athletics from 1905–11. Verlander is the second pitcher in Major League history with 10 or more strikeouts and zero runs allowed in back-to-back postseason games, joining Sandy Koufax in Games 5 and 7 of the 1965 World Series.[33]
In Game 3 of the ALCS against the Boston Red Sox, Verlander threw 6 1⁄3 scoreless innings (running his 2013 postseason scoreless streak to 21 1⁄3 innings) before surrendering a solo home run to Mike Napoli in the seventh. Despite giving up one run and striking out ten batters in eight innings, Verlander lost a 1–0 decision.
The eventual World Series champ Red Sox eliminated the Tigers in six ALCS games. In the 2013 postseason, Verlander was 1–1 with a 0.39 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 23 innings. The Tiger offense was shut out in two of his three starts.
On January 9, 2014, Verlander underwent core muscle surgery. The Tigers projected that Verlander might miss opening day in the aftermath of his surgery but he eventually recovered just in time when the time pitchers and catchers reported in 2014.
Personal Life[edit]
Verlander started dating model Kate Upton in the Fall of 2011.[citation needed] Despite 2013 rumors that the two were no longer seeing each other, they were spotted sitting together at a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game in 2014.[34]
Pitching style[edit]
Verlander throws four above average pitches: a hard four-seam fastball averaging about 95 mph, a slider in the low-to-mid 80s, a curveball at 78–81, and a circle changeup at 85–88 mph. Verlander tends to throw his slider only to right-handed hitters and his changeup only to left-handed hitters. He frequently uses his devastating 12–6 curveball with two strikes on the hitter.[35]
Verlander is known for his unusual ability to "add" and "subtract" from his fastball velocity at any point in the game, giving him the ability to throw 100 mph or higher even in the late innings of games. This is despite the fact that he has thrown the most pitches in the major leagues since the beginning of the 2008 season.[36] Verlander's average fastball velocity with no strikes is 94.7 mph, while with two strikes it is 97.0 mph.[35] His power pitching frequently leads to high strikeout totals. In 2009, 2011 and 2012, he led the majors in strikeouts.[37]

TweakyBeat is a simple to use one screen drum machine for the iPhone.
gave this a shot, interesting to constrain a drum machine to one screen, but the monophonic constraint is a bit limiting. so i'd like to see polyphonic and it would be nice if the current bpm was displayed for easier sync/sample.

In advance of their new disc Soft Will – which drops June 25th on Mom+Pop – Smith Westerns strapped on their gear earlier this month to soundcheck "Varsity," their lush and lively new track. The shimmering indie-pop number was a late addition to the Chicagoans' third album, which was produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and this clip was shot at Lincoln Hall in their hometown.
In support of their record release, the band will follow up their recent Coachella performances with a run of summer dates, including a stop at Lollapalooza.
