Plain Numbers Coloring Pages
Do your kids know their 1 2 3's, or are they in the process of learning them? If so, then these plain numbers coloring pages will be ideal for them. They make great supplements for learning for teachers and parents who homeschool. It is important for you to sit with younger children and color these plain numbers coloring pages, so that you can take advantage of this wonderful educational opportunity. Most children of all ages love to color, so they gladly will color some of these sheets with your encouragement.
Plain Numbers Coloring Pages for Your Children
Kids who are learning their numbers should try working on some plain numbers coloring pages. They are very fun to color, and kids quickly will forget that they are doing something educational. Coloring sheets provide several benefits, especially for younger children. They require creative activities in order to develop mentally, and it is also a good opportunity for social interaction as kids color together. During the course of a normal school day, kids usually sit in their seats and learn through lectures and worksheets, as well as textbook reading. If you homeschool or teach in a classroom, you might want to incorporate plain numbers coloring pages into your lesson plans.
Learn Numbers with Plain Numbers Coloring Pages
Children who are independent can just grab these fun plain numbers coloring pages, and go to town coloring them. However, you also can color along with them for a nice chance to bond. Your children or students will welcome the chance to show off what they can do, and the beautiful pictures that they can make. With your help, even younger kids can make some pretty amazing things with our plain numbers coloring pages. Best of all, they will be able to learn numbers in a fun and creative way. Share our plain numbers coloring pages with your children, in addition to the other category sheets we carry on our site.

vacation rental description
Gorgeous Ocean View Villa available for the week of July 6-13, 2013!
Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club is our Hawaiian home away from home. The resort is truly worthy of its five star distinction. Our ocean view villa is a beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath, with separate living and dining areas, full kitchen, a private lanai, washer and dryer, master suite with a separate bath, huge soaking tub and large glass-enclosed shower. The villa features a king bed in the master suite, a king bed and double sofa bed in the guest suite, a queen sleeper sofa in the living area, flat screen TVs with premium programming, DVD player, and a fully equipped kitchen with cookware and tableware.
villa rental amenities
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with waterfalls and lagoons, lush tropical plants, and the best part – Waiohai Beach Club sits right on the sandy shores of world famous Poipu Beach -- named America's Best Beach by The Travel Channel, ranking first among the 10 "best" beaches nationwide. Our beach is a series of golden sand crescents, with excellent snorkeling (we think the best on the island) and swimming, as well as boogie-boarding and one of the best surf breaks on the island. It is not uncommon to see sea turtles, and you can always view some of the most beautiful tropical fish right off the beach. Spend a lazy day in the sun snorkeling or swimming in the ocean, or relax by one of the three large pools and sip on a Waiohai Colada, made poolside at the Honu Bar. Check out our vacation photos of the pool and beach -- amazing!!!
The beach is perfect for kids, and the resort also offers a shallow children's pool for a day of splashing and playing. Grab a snack, groceries, supplies or a mocha at the MarketPlace (on property), work out at the fitness center and let the kids enjoy one of the many children's activities scheduled throughout the week. Just steps from the resort you will find great shopping and dining, including Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill, Brennecke's Beach Broiler, Keoki's Paradise, The Beach House, and a must visit -- the world famous Puka Dog.
activities and attractions in Poipu Beach Kauai
Kauai is an amazingly lush island, and small enough so that you can experience its many environments in a day of sightseeing. Our resort at Poipu is located at the southern end of the island, and receives very little rain, while the northern end of the island is one of the wettest (and most lush) places on earth. We never miss a drive around Waimea Canyon (Kauai's breathtaking "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", as nicknamed by Mark Twain), especially the Na Pali Coast Overlook (see my photo), and enjoy visiting Wailua Falls, as well as Hanalei Bay and Ke'e Beach on the north end of the island. One of the most spectacular things you will ever experience is seeing the Na Pali coastline, viewed from the water on a snorkeling or dinner cruise. By the way, if you golf, there are amazing courses nearby (Kauai Lagoons, Kauihuna, Princeville (north), ...).

This week, we are featuring three adorable two-month-old sibling kittens looking for their own furparents.
These tiny babies are very scared at the shelter and would love to come home and curl up in your lap. Makayla is a medium-hair black and white tuxedo kitten. She is outgoing and full of kitten energy and playfulness.
Her sister Mia, the adorable gray tabby kitten, is very outgoing and loves to explore her surroundings and play with the toys.
Last but not least is Maya, the adorable gray-colored sister. She is a bit shy, but she loves to be held. However, she is easily missed when her siblings are clamoring for attention by sticking their little paws out to grab your attention.
Like most babies, they all love to be held and petted. Are you in search of a new little feline baby, or two or three, to give a loving home to? These babies are ready to join your family. Please stop by to meet them. They will give you kitty kisses if you do.
Refer to their ID numbers—Makayla #C-48907, Maya #C-48912 and Mia #C-48911—when contacting the shelter at 609-265-5073.

Are you planning on watching the Vice Presidential debate tonight?
If so, come to Pacific Standard on Fourth Avenue, between St. Marks Place and Bergen Street, and watch Vice President Joe Biden take on Mitt Romney's running mate,
As they have done for the past four years, Pacific Standard is showing tonight's debate, which starts at 9 p.m., on their big screen TVs with the audio blasting.
As the bar suggests on their blog, come early to get a good seat (there is limited space) and a nice cold one before the politics begin.
The editor for Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill Patch, Paul Leonard, will be there catching the temperature of Brooklyn during the debate. So, if you can't make it out tonight, look forward to Leonard's coverage to come later.

The Arkansas Razorbacks kept a tight lid on coaching rumors until the brink of their 4 p.m. team meeting, but a report has finally emerged as to the identity of their next coach. According to the Associated Press, it will be John L. Smith, former Arkansas special teams coach and current coach of Weber State.

Breaking: AP source: Arkansas hiring former assistant John L. Smith as interim coach to replace Bobby Petrino next season. #hogs #sec #wps— AP_Top25 (@AP_Top25) April 23, 2012
Smith, 63, left the Hogs after the 2011 season to take over at WSU. Previously, he's worked as the head coach of Michigan State, Louisville, Utah State and Idaho, with other coaching stops throughout the country. He went 132-86 as a head coach, with a 4-11 mark in postseason games.
Smith left the Louisville job amid some controversy, as he bolted for the Spartans before the Cardinals' bowl game. He was replaced by Bobby Petrino, and now my brain hurts. He also leaves Weber State, his alma mater, without having coached a game there.

Petaluma musician Lester Chambers, who was attacked at a Hayward blues festival during a song he dedicated to slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin, is suing the woman suspected of storming the stage, the city and concert organizers for $5 million.
Chambers said the assault by Dinalynn Andrews-Potter, 43, of Barstow, bruised his ribs and hip, leaving him unable to sing in a promotional tour of his new album.
His suit names the Bay Area Blues Society and the city of Hayward, accusing them of contributing to inadequate security.
"It's an unfortunate situation for both me and my audience," said Chambers, 73, a member of the seminal 1960s rock and soul group, the Chambers Brothers. "I certainly need the work."
He was playing the Hayward/Russell City Blues Festival July 13 when the attack occured.
Chambers had just begun singing Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" when a woman, identified by police as Andrews-Potter, jumped on the stage and began assaulting him.
She appeared to be reacting to the dedication to Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teen who was shot to death by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. A jury acquitted Zimmerman the night of the festival, sparking nationwide protests.
"All I did was dedicate that song and prayed that if there are any marches that people do it peacefully and ask God to bless us," Chambers said.
The next thing he knew, Chambers was reeling backward after he said he was shoved by Andrews-Potter. Videos of the event show a woman punching Chambers in the side numerous times before others pulled her off.
"She pushed me real hard," he said. "I hit some part of the equipment on the way down to the floor."
Chambers believes the attack was racially motivated. He described Andrews-Potter as appearing "evil."

Mercury has a large iron core which is most likely at least partially molten. The silicate outer shell is only 500 to 600 km thick. It actually has a very thin atmosphere made up of atoms blasted off its surface by the solar wind. Due to the heat of the planet, these atoms quickly escape into space. Thus unlike the Earth and Venus which have stable atmospheres, Mercury's atmosphere is constantly being replenished.
Mercury is a planet of extremes. Temperature variations swing from 90 K to 700 K. It's hotter on Venus, but with less fluctuations. Mercuryalso has a very eccentric orbit; at perihelion it is only 46 million km from the Sun but at aphelion it is 70 million.
Mercury has no known moons or satellites.

is the budget amount a misprint?

Some other old information on other cities as well at Web Link
We "appear" to be very pricey. Perhaps apples to organs comparisons or are we really that expensive? Also, perhaps healthcare and pensions have skyrocketed recently?

Tiffany Cook
Class year: 2009
Major: Biology
Company/organization: Corbett Grade School
Job title: Lead Preschool Teacher
Email: email@example.com
I would love to connect with students. In addition or instead of attending the Schmooze, I am available for one:one meetings during the weekend. Drop me an email and we'll arrange a time to meet. I arrive on Thursday.
How did you get where you are? (e.g., education, brief work history, mentors)
Hi all! I got my Masters in teaching shortly after graduating from Reed, and began my teaching career with a part time job in a brand new preschool classroom. I'm never leaving preschool! It is the most rewarding and at times the most challenging. I love how creative I get to be on a day to day basis.
My current job is in a small school district near Multnomah Falls. We're a prek-12th grade school, so I'd love to answer any other questions you might have about grades or professions beyond 5 year olds. I also work closely with a team of therapists (occupational, communication/speech, and behavioral) to help provide the best learning environment for all of my students.
What lessons have you learned along the way that you'd like to pass on to current Reed students?
First and foremost, do what you love.
Also, pay attention to your thesis formatting. I use that thesis Word template knowledge every day while writing lessons, or getting paid extra to make other people's documents look "fancy and official."
In what ways you think you can help Reed students?
I can tell you all about life as a teacher, and would love for anyone interested to come visit our district for a day. Corbett has some pretty interesting things going for it, like multi-age classrooms, required AP classes, and a district wide place-based educational model. Oh, and we only have school four days a week!
What else should students know about you? (e.g., volunteer engagement, avocations, interests)
I'm incredibly passionate about child-centered learning, and can talk for days about theories of education in preschool learning environments. I'm also a certified Community Trainer, meaning I conduct workshops for current educators. And I knit and spin obsessively with my limited free time.

Keith McDougald named A-Sun Newcomer of the Week
With 15 of his team-high 18 points coming in the second half and overtime in JU's win over Florida, freshman Keith McDougald was named Atlantic Sun Conference "Newcomer of the Week" on Tuesday.
McDougald, a Jacksonville native, has led JU in scoring the last two games, starting with 12 points at Saint Louis before his total in the Dolphins upset of No. 20 Florida.
His biggest shots came at the free throw line. He made four free throws in the final minute to help JU's first win over Florida since 1994 and just the fifth for JU in the all-time series.
"Keith made some big shots for us late in the game at the free throw line," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "This is a great honor for him, but it also recognizes what our team has accomplished thus far."
McDougald is second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.3 points per game, and leads the team in 3-pointers with 16 – with four coming against the Gators.
He has started all 10 games for JU, scoring in double figures five times – starting with 11 points in his collegiate debut at Miami.
McDougald and the Dolphins will be back in action on Dec. 30 when they host Bethune-Cookman in the second half of a doubleheader with the JU women. Tipoff is set for 7:15 p.m.

Several years ago — in 2000, to be exact —
we became a full-service design-build company. Previously we
had worked collaboratively with several architects we knew well
and trusted but who contracted directly with the owner rather
than with us. I eventually realized, however, that we were
missing some opportunities for tighter coordination and
improved services by not bringing everything under one
contract. With just one person in charge, we could be more
accountable and better organized, and hit our budgets and
schedules more reliably.
In this article I'll share some of the lessons we've learned
over the last seven years of design-build work. We still have
much to master — if only I live that long.
When I present the design-build concept to prospective
clients, the most powerful argument I can make is that this
approach guarantees a single, crystal-clear line of
accountability. If anything goes wrong at any point in the
process, the client has just one person to point a finger at:
As masochistic as it sounds, I like it that way. If we make a
mistake, I make sure we fix it. No finger-pointing, no
arguments, no gray areas. This has real resonance for
homeowners. In fact, it's often at this point in our
conversation that the sale is closed, for all intents and
purposes, and we switch from "whether" to "when."
The key, of course, is to back up that sales pitch with
genuine accountability.
With design-build, that accountability is enormous. Clients
enter the design-build relationship with an unusually high
level of trust — which, though essential, can also be
hazardous. Clients who trust you implicitly sometimes don't pay
as close attention as they should, and may end up surprised by
what they actually signed on to. In other words, their trust
may be so high that they're convinced you're reading their
minds and giving them exactly what they're imagining, even if
they haven't explained it all that thoroughly. This can cause
real problems for you when the reality hits home.
I've learned to view as a red flag anything that seems too
easy in the sales process. You don't want a busy, preoccupied
client signing a construction contract just to move things
along. Yes, it's tempting to simply get the signature and close
the deal, but you need to slow down: Set up a meeting to review
the documents, make sure the clients really understand the
package, and then get the signature. You won't regret it.
The design process needs to have its own integrity. Design is
more than a sales tool for the construction side of the
business or a hobby that the contractor indulges in to fill his
evenings — and it's about more than just features,
square footage, and moving product out the door. It's a
legitimate, valuable service, and it needs to be its own profit
I see too many contractors calling themselves "design-build"
without taking the effort to provide a bona fide design
service. Good design requires training, experience, and talent
— attributes that, admit it or not, few contractors
Good design demands a serious commitment from not only the
company, but also the homeowner. Thorough, careful design and
planning take time, and the client will have to pay for that
We charge hourly for design work; typically the whole package
of design, engineering, and product selection costs 10 percent
to 15 percent of the construction budget. This seems in line
with traditional architectural firms, which often cite a 15
percent fee (though design costs, like construction costs, can
be all over the map).
The service we offer is comparable to those offered by
stand-alone design firms — and often more
comprehensive — so I know we're competitive in that
regard. We can't compete on price with the design-build firms
who charge as little as 2 percent of construction costs, but we
don't try to.
One of the first things you learn in construction is that the
more you try to compete on price, the longer it will take to
create a viable business. This holds for design services as
well. Telling clients that design-build is a way to save money
on design is one of the weakest arguments you can make
— it sends the wrong message about the value of design
at your company. In my experience, you're better off charging
full market rate for design services and then making sure that
what your clients get for that fee is far superior to what
they'd get from other firms in your price range.
Remember that "design service" has two components: design and
service. Of the two, the service part is typically more
important. Design is not necessarily the first thing on
clients' minds when they call you about a project. I wish
people hired us primarily because of the exquisite quality of
our projects, but I have to acknowledge that their reasons
generally have more to do with other factors: We return phone
calls, we vacuum up after ourselves, and we respond to warranty
requests within 24 hours. For most homeowners, accountability
is more compelling than esthetics.
Here's how I know this is true: Even though we team up with
three architects for our work and each has a distinct style,
people rarely care which I bring to the table first. Clients
assume any architect we work with is good; few are seeking a
particular signature "look." Most know only very generally what
they're after — they just want a pleasant, livable
space, with as little hassle as possible.
The general naiveté and ignorance with which many
homeowners start the design process is all the more reason your
design services need to have a real integrity, independent of
the construction phase. These people trust you; don't betray
that trust with a mediocre product.
In my ongoing efforts to improve our overall service, one
major challenge I've encountered is the entrenched separation
between "designing" and "building." Despite our attempts to
integrate these two phases, they tend to come across as two
different divisions within one company: Some people do the
design; others build the design. (Still others price the
design.) There's some practical overlap — the lead
carpenter gets up to speed on the job well before it's
scheduled to start, and the architect visits the job frequently
during construction to help with troubleshooting and
interpretation of design intent — but we still haven't
achieved a satisfactory level of integration.
I'm blessed with carpenters — some of them
accomplished artists in their own right — who are
capable of more than the architects typically ask of them. And
our architects are unusually receptive to feedback from the
carpenters, and consult with them as equals. I keep feeling I
should take this talent and mutual goodwill and make the
borders between the disciplines more porous, to create a true
synergy. I try to encourage the carpenters and the architects
to push each other harder both in design and in execution so
that we can offer our clients even more.
It's a fascinating challenge — the sort that should
keep me going for many more years of design-build.

Carbon Hill Assistant Police Chief Matt Dozier said Matthew Williams, a 32-year-old Oakman native who now lives in Waterloo, was the person who committed the robbery on June 7.
"We had many anonymous calls come to us after the suspect's picture was released in the Daily Mountain Eagle," Dozier said. "After following up on that information, we were able to identify Williams as our suspect."
Dozier said the white Acura sedan Williams was driving at the time of the Chevron robbery was stolen from Lauderdale County. Dozier and Police Chief Ron Colburn found the abandoned car in the Corona community. After identifying Williams as their suspect, Dozier said he was located, serving time in the Lauderdale County Jail.
"We identified Williams on Sunday, and he had been taken into custody by Lauderdale County authorities on Saturday," Dozier said.
Williams is charged with a robbery and the vehicle theft in Lauderdale County.
"We expect to have our charges filed against him on Monday," Dozier said.
A female who was with Williams at the time of the Carbon Hill robbery has not been charged.
"That will be up to the district attorney," Dozier said. "We will present our information about her and let them determine if she should be charged or not."

A really really really good day
- April 14, 2014
- 7 comments
- Category: Make Room for Kids
Last Friday at 9:00 a.m., Make Room for Kids, an initiative of the Mario Lemieux Foundation supported by Microsoft and ALL OF YOU, arrived at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh with the goal to provide a multimedia makeover for the CICU unit, the Cardiac Step Down unit, and the Trauma/Ortho unit. In addition, we delivered boxes of new games, movies, and other goodies to every unit we overhauled in years past … transplant, adolescent medicine, and oncology. Our most ambitious install day ever.
The morning kicked off when the Mario Lemieux Foundation and Microsoft arrived with SUVs full of good stuff for the kids.
That's a lot of loot!
Me and MLF's Nancy Angus being adorable and staying out of the way adorably. Adorable.
Briefing by Microsoft's Luke Sossi, the planning and logistics mastermind who ensures the operation runs smoothly and who also ran the fundraising campaign at Microsoft, encouraging employees to donate to the program:
Child Life Specialist Beth Moneck talks about how important the gaming will be to the patients and also prepares the installers for what they might encounter in the CICU rooms:
Nancy Angus thanks everyone for their time and donations to the program. There in the background is Frank. He's the person at the hospital responsible for making sure each room is ready for an XBOX install — a process that starts way back in the fall:
And they're off! Three floors to hit, 4, 6, and 8.
The first XBOX is installed in the waiting area of the CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) as the families and siblings of patients often have long waits here considering surgeries can happen at any time in the CICU rooms.
All done!
The CICU is just … well … heartbreaking. You can't fathom what these kids and their families are suffering through, and your donations are going a long way to make their stay a little bit better.
Hannah is 11 and if her room is any indication, she loves pink and black. She's here for surgeries while awaiting a heart transplant. As the install was taking place, she sat on her bed holding a copy of Plants versus Zombies, which just happened to be the game she was handed while they installed her XBOX. She was quiet and I said, "Did you want a different game to play maybe?"
She shyly nodded her head as if she felt badly for asking and I'm thinking, "Girl. You're 11. You're waiting for a new heart. You can have anything you damn well want. BRB."
So we hooked her up with Angry Birds and this was her reaction:
Here's another young patient who was happy to get started with the new XBOX in her room:
Room by room. 38 XBOXes. High-risk rooms meant taking important precautions:
Other rooms didn't require such precautions:
Here's the whole install team:
Each child received an XBOX installed in their room, a controller, a game to get started with, a Microsoft hat, lanyard, and keychain with a tiny controller replica on it:
And that's not all! We also delivered, thanks to your donations:
– Over 100 XBOX games
– Over 150 movies. I insisted that every unit received a copy of Frozen because DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SNOWMAN OKAY BYEEeee. Shut up.
– Tons of scrapbooking stuff, because as I've mentioned in the past, scrapbooking is not only a great distraction, but a good way for kids to address their fears. We included cameras, photo printers, memory cards, tons of cool papers, and lots more.
– Eight Surface units! We gave four to the CICU/Cardiac Step Down unit and two to the transplant unit and two to the adolescent medicine unit. Each was delivered with a keyboard and protective sleeve. Good for gaming and surfing the web.
– And check out these sweet Tomb Raider-themed controllers. Microsoft brought 38 of these so that the units have some extras to allow patients to play with family members or others:
– Your donations allowed us to give each unit from previous years a box full of goodies as well as a few extra controllers. They received new games, new movies, and more. The transplant unit was provided with two new LeapPads as well as LeapPad games for their younger patients. And they all got Frozen. LET IT GOOOO. LET IT GOOO-OOOOO! Shut up.
– This install brings us to over 150 XBOX units installed and over $125,000 in total donations to Make Room for Kids since its inception. We have outfitted at Children's Hospital, the transplant unit, the adolescent medicine/"Frequent Fliers" unit, the oncology unit, the oncology transfusion unit, the CICU, the Cardiac Step Down unit, the trauma/ortho unit, as well as the pediatric unit at Allegheny General, and the entirety of The Children's Home. Wow.
Near the end of the morning, as things were wrapping up, Beth from Child Life told us that one patient who had received the XBOX earlier in the morning had been getting her clothing changed and would not put down the controller to stop playing her game. She just held on and kept her eyes on the TV while her clothing was swapped.
That's the goal. Distraction. Don't worry. Just play.
It was so good to hear from Child Life at each unit about how the gaming has helped them and their patients over the last few years. I promise you, it is making a difference for these kids. So I can't thank you enough for donating each year to help us make that happen for them.
I also must give mad love and props to ROOT Sports for featuring the install during the Pens pre-game show yesterday, to the Post-Gazette for featuring it on the front page of Saturday's paper, and to Mike Young at EA Sports for hooking the kids up with some awesome games like NHL 14 and Madden 25.
It was a fantastic day and a huge success thanks to Microsoft, the Mario Lemieux Foundation, and you.
Group hug!

This morning, as the terrifying and tragic events (prayers for them) at Franklin Regional High School unfolded, my Twitter feed shit the bed.
It didn't just shit the bed, it shit the bed, puked in it, then left a horse head in it before lighting the bed on fire.
If my Twitter feed this morning was an image, it would have been this:
If it was a gif, it would have been this:
If it was a cat, it would have been this:
Events unfolded as every local media outlet began crawling over each other, pushing each other to be first on the scene. First with details. First with pictures.
Each minute ticked by with my feed filling up with dozens and dozens of tweets.
Marty Griffin hashtagged all of his tweets about the tragedy with #getmarty.
One reporter hashtagged his with #schoolshooting
"I'm hearing …"
"We've heard …"
"Sources say …"
#WPXI #schoolstabbing
5, 10, 6, 14, 20. (Aren't these the Lost numbers?)
20 stabbed.
20 injured.
Not life-threatening.
Four are life-threatening.
Seven are life-threatening.
None are life-threatening.
Only students.
One teacher.
"We're hearing bullying is a factor…"
Outside during a fire drill.
Inside after someone pulled a fire alarm.
All being taken to Forbes.
Five being taken to Children's.
All being taken to six different hospitals.
Principal tackled suspect.
Vice-principal tackled suspect.
Assistant principal tackled suspect.
Reporters retweeting colleagues retweeting other colleagues. Sports and weather reporters tweeting details. Not one single tweet mentioning a source.
MADNESS. Complete and utter clusterfucky online madness that trickled down to on-air madness.
Social media is newish, but it's not so new that local media outlets shouldn't have a plan in place for handling developing news like this. The exact same way they have a plan in place for ON-AIR and IN-PRINT developing news stories.
Media folks who want to defend this morning's mess, you must ask yourselves this question: If this is not okay in the live studio, why is it okay online?
Does your station allow 17 reporters and three anchors to crowd the floor of the live set and start shouting over each other and into the camera like desperate stockbrokers on the trading floor their version of the facts as they're hearing them? "I'm hearing six! Over to weather! Well, I'm hearing five over here at weather! Over to sports! We're hearing 10 over at sports! Traffic? My Facebook friend's mother's cousin's sisterwife says 20 but my brother's concubine says 19! And that guy behind the camera is hearing 4! Wait! Wait! –"
No. They don't allow that. They manage the information as it comes in and filter it down before allowing the anchor to read it — and even that allows misinformation to fall through the cracks. But they attempt to manage the information.
It seems, however, that they believe social media means no rules, so you've got two dozen Twitter-verified reporters from WPXI tweeting and retweeting and 10 from WTAE and 11 from KDKA and add in the radio folks who are tweeting what they're hearing from the TV folks, and add in the newspaper folks, and the producers and the cameramen and the editors, and the people working in the business offices, and I'm telling you guys, you guys running the media, this is broken.
This is so so broken.
Station managers figure they don't control social media. Hands off. Everyone out for themselves, even if we've made sure you've got the blue checkmark next to your name verifying that you're our representative. Tweet what you find … even if it's unverified. Even if your source is the lunch lady's third cousin. Even if you're just retweeting your colleague who mistakenly hashtagged this story as a school shooting. Even if you're retweeting your colleague who is claiming bullying is involved while not really knowing if bullying is involved. Even if you're retweeting your colleague who says 20 were stabbed when 20 were INJURED. We can't know who everyone is following, and everyone is not following the same two reporters, so we'll just let every single damn one of you tweet anything you can get your hands on and we'll feed that straight to the anchors and we'll let them just run with that shit, amen.
I'm getting a little punchy, yes. I'm sorry. But I haven't been writing my shit for here for nine years to make friends. Hell, I'm an introvert; friends are exhausting.
I'm aware it was worse for people like me who follow multiple reporters from multiple outlets (though I went on a nice unfollow spree this morning, as I should have done after the local media basically tweeted a play-by-play on how the McCandless mother drowned her sons), but I'm guessing that even those of you who only follow a few saw exactly what I'm talking about. Insane, intense retweeting. "Follow this person at our station for the facts! No! Follow this person! We realize he's the sports reporter, but follow him too! And this guy, he's the producer of a two-hour block of the news, but follow him for 'facts!'"
No. No no no no no.
This is not how it needs to work and it's not helping the story, the situation, or the station/paper/outlet. It's hurting all of those things, even the on-air reporting.
I'm not here to just complain, I'm here to offer a solution to fix this mess because guess what? It can be fixed.
It can be fixed with three words: MANAGE. THE. MESSAGE.
You're running WPXI? A major breaking news story happens? You get all your best reporters out there on foot and on the phone and on the web to collect information and do their jobs. And you pick one, maybe two of them to be the official tweeter of this particular story, or you have your official verified main account do it. Any other employee on Twitter will then tweet only ONE THING regarding this story: "We're on top of this story. Follow @name and @name for the official details." And they will RT ONLY that account or accounts.
That's it.
Then they shut the hell up and do their jobs and if they're assigned to this story, they feed their info and their sources to those two people who are now responsible for determining what will be reported on the official social media account.
Manage the message.
You do not allow TWO DOZEN REPORTERS WHO ARE YOUR OFFICIAL BLUE-CHECK-MARKED REPRESENTATIVES TO RUN LIKE STAMPEDING WILDEBEESTS ALL OVER TWITTER GOING FULL-ON TOURETTE'S, SHOUTING MISINFORMATION AT US UNTIL WE SLAM THE UNFOLLOW BUTTON WITH THE FORCE OF THOR'S HAMMER.
Managing the message would increase your followers, you know why? Because you're not destroying us viewers and readers and listeners with information that may not even be correct. You're not having reporters crawling all over each other in the name of FIRST! You're not having mass unfollowings because we the people are fed up with you the breaking news media.
What you end up with are trusting followers who know you're going to funnel the raw information in some fashion. That you're going to manage the information put out there by your employees. You're virtually pulling everyone off the set and leaving your two trusted anchors to talk with the public. You're Peter Jennings-ing a Jerry Springer fiasco.
You end up with reporters, no longer obsessed with first!, putting away Twitter and working to get the best possible information from the best possible sources so that they can feed you that CORRECT information and get rewarded.
So instead of the virtual shouting match you've allowed your reporters to devolve into … instead of all of us unfollowing all of you for the 4! 3! 6! 20! 10! nonsense, you end up with one account that tweets this and reports this on the news: "Our reporter @name has confirmed with [source] that the number of injured currently stands at [number]."
"Our reporter @name2 has confirmed with [source] that the number of injured has risen to [number.]"
"Our reporter @name3 has confirmed with [source] that the injured are being transported to [number] hospitals."
Message. Managed.
Gold star and endless RTs and follows and respect for you.
Unfollows with great Thor-like gusto for everyone else.
I am dork; hear me snort

Do you know that I am a big giant socially awkward dork? Do you? Do you need me to count the ways?
Perhaps the time I gave David Conrad a ride in my filthy momdorkmobile?
The time I met Mario Lemieux and talked for three minutes straight without inhaling once and then possibly proposed marriage to him like a hopelessly romantic Tourette's sufferer?
The time this Saturday when I walked around the Children's Home Shake Your Booties event at Heinz Field for twenty minutes with my blouse awkwardly tucked into my Spanx?
The time I walked around downtown all day with a size sticker strip stuck to the back of my new jeans?
The time I met Sean Casey and he said, "You have leaves in your hair."
The time I accepted an award from Light of Life with Kennywood wide open?
I am dork. Hear me snort when I laugh.
I've got another one to add to the list.
Last night was the Zoo's first ever Fashion for the Wild event, a fundraiser and fashion show and I was fortunate enough to be invited to check it out. Kiya Tomlin was there showing off her designs. She's gorgeous. Really.
I got to meet some animals. This is Mr. Cuddlemuffins, as I named him.
This is Sir Back-The-F–k-Up:
Snakes. What was God thinking?
Also there were hosts Sally Wiggin and David Conrad, my BFFs:
There was also fashion, not modeled just by professional models, but also regular women with interesting stories.
When my sister and I arrived, we were asked if we were guests or models (we said models, of course) and we felt very flattered that we were asked that. We must look super hot and thin, we thought. Then the fashion show started and we understood. Regular Pittsburgh women.
I took my sister Pens Fan as my plus one because she's a big David Conrad fan and wanted to meet him.
Then Dork struck. (That's the title of my future autobiography, yes?)
A bit later my sister and I were walking up the circular walkway that winds up to the top floor of the aquarium while David happened to be walking down it. We met in the middle to chat at which point I stepped my new skinny heel into a floor grate and got stuck. Not just a little. REALLY stuck. Wedged.
I yelped, "Oh, my God. I'm stuck!"
I tried to yank my shoe out but the entire grate started coming out of the floor. Not even joking. I started to tip over as the totality of my weight was now balancing on a one centimeter-thick heel and I have that inner ear thing that gives me a shit sense of balance.
David was forced to prop me up while my sister reached down and helped me OUT OF MY SHOE at which time she forcibly yanked it out of the grate and handed it to me.
[takes a bow]
For my next trick …
Only me, guys. Only. Me.
I bought some cool stuff too! Check out my new coasters featuring three sports stadiums no longer around:
And I grabbed this too. Would you believe it mentions the Penguins and the Steelers but not the Pirates? I'm kind of aghast.
At my sister's insistence, I took a photo with David. But before we took the picture, I said, "You know for as many times as we've met, there does not exist a photo of the two of us together and I feel like we should keep it that way."
He agreed, so we mostly did:
Honestly, I'm just thankful there's no Target price-tag hanging down my back.
You should check it out next year. I hope to be there. I'll be the curly-haired girl wearing WEDGE SHOES.

(Taken by me. Top of the 10th inning. Opening Day 2014. INTENSE SPORTS MOMENT.)
Remember in October when I put the totality of my medical knowledge to the task of understanding why I nearly passed out at the two postseason Buccos games I attended?
I determined that, medically speaking, it was a combination of the noise, an inner ear thing, standing up too fast, not eating enough, screaming too loud, anxiety — all those things all at once = fainting.
Well, at the home opener when Neil Walker hit the walk-off, it was super loud, I jumped out of my seat having eaten nothing yet having imbibed alcohol, I screamed at the top of my lungs and guess what? I was fine. Not one spell of darkness enveloping my vision and pulling me into the abyss.
Therefore, I have now 100% medically determined that it is simply a matter of this: I cannot handle postseason Pirates ball.
That's it. It's not the noise or my inner ear or screaming or eating or drinking or jumping.
It's weakness of constitution. This is an actual medical condition discovered by me and I will be writing a paper about it to appear in the Journal of Totally Fake Medical Discoveries.
That said, I wrote about Opening Day and the miserable behavior of a few fans.
A snippet:
1. Thou shalt not get to third base on the Kiss Cam.
The Kiss Cam is tradition. A chance to awkwardly high-five your opposite-sex sibling or smooch your honey for all the stadium to see. A chaste peck perhaps. Or a more forward full-on smush. I salute your love with my $25 beer (rounding here). Kiss on. But baseball, more than any sport, is meant to be enjoyed by families. Moms, dads, gramps and kids all in a row. So when you find yourself on the Kiss Cam being urged to lay one on your neighbor, don't turn it into late-night Cinemax. Don't shove your tongue down her throat. Don't, for the love of God, round first base and head sprinting for third as if Nick Leyva is frantically waving you on while thousands of children watch. Get a room. This I command yinz.
Have a read of the other three commandments for watching baseball in Pittsburgh.
A pox on ye if ye disobey them.
A little more help?

First, you'll notice the Make Room for Kids thermometer is gone and the reason for that is I took it down ALL BY MYSELF using HTML and widgets and microtechythingamabobiggities and I didn't break anything.
Hashtag Jedi knight.
Second, yesterday I spent a few hours at the Mario Lemieux Foundation offices in an effort to
stalk Mario and steal stuff get the shopping done for this year's Make Room for Kids phase.
We shopped and shopped and bought and made Amazon Prime smoke a little. On and on we went until we totaled it all up and the adding machine displayed ,"JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL!"
The issue is that we like to do maintenance. That is we go to the cancer kids and the transplant kids and the other units we've already outfitted and we say, "How you doin'? What do you need?"
And they responded. They asked for some new games, because keep in mind the transplant kids are using games that are now four years old. That's ARCHAIC in technology years. The cancer kids asked for more games that girls would like to play. The adolescent medicine unit was hoping for some specific Lego games and some extra controllers.
We did our best to fulfill all technology requests from every unit, and we did a pretty good job. But we need a few more things.
– Movies. I already personally purchased a box of movies for the units, but we need lots more and I'm hoping you'll buy one or two. They will be divided between every unit, because I'd like to get some newer movies for the cancer, transplant, and frequent flier kids too.
– The transplant kids requested a Leap Pad 2 for the younger transplant patients. We took care of that. But we need some games for these kiddos to play, so I've put those on the Wish List too.
Maybe you couldn't donate before. Maybe you hate PayPal but worship at the altar of Amazon Prime. If you want to pitch in, just click here to be taken to the Wish List. Your purchases from the Wish List will be shipped directly to the Mario Lemieux Foundation. They'll unpack 'em, kiss 'em, virtually hug you, and then hand them off to the kiddos on install day in April.
Thanks, guys! I can always count on you to help us help our city's sick kids.
Group hug.

I grow my own broccoli, so I always have fresh or frozen on hand. When our kids were little, it was a great way to get them to eat their veggies. Now that they're grown, it's still a favorite! Try it with curry powder instead of the chili powder for a tasty variation.
Reviewed Sep. 4, 2012
It seems like with the mayo and sour cream this recipe would be unhealthy. At least an avocado is a healthy fat. If you make a guacamole using an avocado and leaving out the sour cream, it wouldn't be bad for you.

Reviewed Feb. 2, 2012
I left out the mayo, added 3/4 C. salsa with corn and black beans, and 1/4 C. chopped water chestnuts. It was wonderful. everyone loved it. I think the trick is cooking the broccoli until tender so it mushes when you process it.

Carmageddon II won't stop farmers market operator Raw Inspiration from selling fruits and vegetables at markets throughout the Los Angeles region.
All Raw Inspiration weekend markets, including those in Brentwood, Sherman Oaks, Agoura Hills, Old Town Calabasas and Pacific Palisades, will remain open during the 405 closure Sept. 29-30.
"Most of the people who shop at our markets are local," Raw Inspiration President John Edwards said. "It's not as if they drive on the freeways."
Vendors who travel to the markets will be most affected, Edwards said, though none have canceled their trips just yet.
Raw Inspiration has weekend markets all around the L.A. region. Click here to view a complete list of Raw Inspiration farmers market locations.
Patch sites will be covering Carmageddon leading up to the weekend of Sept. 29-30, and through the closure. Subscribe to your local Patch site's daily newsletter, Twitter and Facebook alerts to get Carmageddon news first.
During the 405 closure, the north side of the Mulholland Bridge will be demolished. When finished, the bridge will be about 10 feet wider and seismically retrofitted to the latest standards. It will be the third bridge demolished and reconstructed in order to widen the 405 Freeway and add a northbound carpool lane through the Sepulveda Pass.
"We hope that people come and buy their fruits and vegetables," Edwards said. "I'm sure it's going to be inconvenient for some people, no question about that, but what do we do?"
Patch Editor Matthew Sanderson contributed to this report.

- At Hagerty and Hahnemann Libraries, MasterCard, Visa and Dragon Dollars can be used to pay fines or lost book fees exceeding $10.00 -- no partial payments, please. At the Queen Lane Library, only cash and checks are accepted.
- Your online record accurately reflects due dates of all borrowed items that may have been recalled or renewed online or by phone or email.
Recalling Items that are checked out
- Materials are subject to recall after they have been in circulation for 28 days.
- Failure to return a recalled item within 5 days of the email recall notice will result fines of $1.00 per day.

- Books that are currently available will be placed on hold the following business day; please allow 3-5 days for books to be transported between libraries. Items will be kept on hold for 5 days .
- Patrons will be notified via email when the item is available for pick up.
- Only 5 items may be placed on hold at any one time, although faculty may request more than 5 for research, reserves, etc.
- Repeated failure to pick up items placed on hold, thereby depriving others use of them, will result in loss of the use of the Request function.
Returning Borrowed Items
- When returning items, if possible, ask an attendant to check in your items immediately to clear your record immediately and to avoid "claims returned" problems.
- If you want a receipt for your returned items, ask for one before they are checked in.
- Returning books to book drops is done at your own risk. The Libraries try to safeguard items returned to these drops, but cannot guarantee the safety of these items.
- To avoid accruing fines, all items must be returned, including those placed in book drops, before the Libraries close on the day that they are due.
"Claims Returned"
Lost Library Materials
- Please report lost library items immediately.
- Generally, the charge for a lost book or AV will be the cost of the book, plus a processing fee. If a specific price cannot be determined, the charge will be $90 ($70 for the book and a $20 processing fee).
- Patrons will be billed for the loss of or damage to library materials through the Comptroller's Office (Hagerty only).
- At Hagerty and Hahnemann Libraries, MasterCard, Visa and DragonCard (Ultima) Funds can be used to pay lost book fees; at the Queen Lane Library, only cash and checks are accepted.

- At Hagerty and Hahnemann Libraries, MasterCard, Visa and DragonCard (Ultima) Funds can be used to pay lost book fees; at the Queen Lane Library, only cash and checks are accepted.
Faculty Assistants
- The faculty member writes a letter of authorization for the assistant to present to the circulation department (authorization via email to firstname.lastname@example.com is also acceptable).
- The student presents validated Drexel ID.
Although the assistant's name will be recorded, he (she) should never take out materials for faculty with his (her) own Drexel IDs; this is because students have different borrowing periods from faculty. Authorization letters from faculty are valid for one academic year, and must be renewed every September. Health Sciences Libraries: Assistants or other staff may borrow books for faculty. These items should be checked out in the faculty member's name. Proof of authorization to charge materials out to a faculty member's record may be required.

My husband doesn't like pork so I used turkey bacon and he loved it. Also 2% milk works just as well for does how can't use whole milk. You might have to cook 5 or 10 minutes if you do use 2%. I used this recipe as a base and added salt and pepper to the eggs first then added spinach, onions and red peppers to the mixture. It's like a baked omelet. My family loves it and its not so bland.
Do you think I could use veggie bacon or imitation bacon bits? It looks really good, but I don't eat pork.
Quick and easy. A taste everyone can enjoy.
I halved the recipe, but with 5 eggs and less than half of the potatoes, like the other reviews are saying. Pretty darn good!
everbody loved this. i added a few links of chorizo . my mother-in-law had 2 helpings. next time i will try deli ham instead of the bacon and chorizo.

LIZTON — After beating rival Brownsburg in straight sets on Thursday, the Avon volleyball team did the same on Saturday with hardware on the line.
No. 2-ranked Avon topped Tri-West and Plainfield before besting Brownsburg, 25-17, 25-20, 25-17, to win its fourth consecutive Hendricks County tournament title.
"It's tough playing one another so close together, but I thought we did a little better today than we did on Thursday," Avon coach Scott McQueen said. "We were more consistent, and the points we gave up were volleyball points, not mess-ups by us."
Brownsburg coach Bob Yeager said errors kept the Bulldogs from being able to seriously threaten the Orioles.
"You can't shoot yourself in the foot against a team as good as Avon, and we had six service errors in the second set, which came at bad times," said Yeager, whose team beat Cascade and Danville to reach the title match. "Overall, though, we stayed in system and we'll improve from here."
The first set was tight until Avon scored seven straight points off the serve of Rebeckah Strange to take a 24-14 lead before putting it away three points later.
Avery Brown was strong at the net for Brownsburg in the second set, as the Bulldogs fought to make it 19-19. A block by Avon's Beth Prince sparked the Orioles, as they scored six out of the final seven points, the last on a kill by Prince.
Avon controlled the final set, as Calle Weddle dominated with eight kills.
"The first two games weren't her best, and we were joking that she was getting a little mad because she wasn't getting the kills she normally does," McQueen said. "She's a great player who works hard, plays well and makes things easier on me."
Weddle led Avon (16-3) in kills with 13, followed by Beth Prince with 10. Rachel Griffin tallied 30 assists and Strange recorded 18 digs.

CATEGORIES MoviesLast month, 'Alien Vault,' a definitive behind-the-scenes account of Ridley Scott's 'Alien,' was released. The book features all sorts of goodies, including blueprints of the Nostromo, photos from the set and concept art. There are also a ton of secret tidbits about the making of the film and, thankfully, the good folks over at io9 have summed up the book's best information in one easy post. (Because, who has the time to read books these days? Honestly?)
Our favorite bits:
Roger Corman almost directed 'Alien' with an all-male cast: Corman was originally interested in Dan O'Bannon and Ron Shusett's first script, which included an all-male cast and dialogue that was very "matter-of-fact." Then Ridley Scott signed onto the project.
Somehow, Roger Daltrey of the Who factored into the making of this film: The singer, who was next door to the studio where the film was being shot, lent Ridley Scott laser beams that Daltrey was experimenting with for the band's next tour. The lasers were used during the facehuggers resting place scene.
Sigourney Weaver wore thigh-high boots to her audition: Uh, so, there's that.
The whole thing is a pretty fascinating read, and if you don't have the time (or dough) to buy the book, it's worth checking the io9 list out.
