- Lunch.... not dinnerserve2allVIPDined on 8/26/2014Had a wonderful lunch here (fried cod sandwich and salmon)and decided to go back for dinner. Night and Day. Our cocktails seemed to take way too long to come. The salad and chicken liver pate were both good. What was terribly disappointing was my duck breast entree...RARE duck breast? NO!!! Then we all shared the cholate sundae dessert and inquired if it really was ice cream...the taste was just not what good housemade ice cream should taste like. I should have sent back the duck but it was a birthday dinner and did not want to spoil the fun. The dinner was over $60 each and in my humble opinion, just not worth it. Recently had duck breast at Cafe Chez Panisse that was spectacular. So, if your going to Berkeley, Alice still rules!!!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/25/2014I liked it very much in every respect except one: a tv above the bar?! Are you kidding me?Special Features:
- just too noisyblackberryDined on 8/21/2014If only there were not so many hard surfaces bouncing noise around, this would be a great place. Even without the construction noise this place is too noisy for any real conversation. We leave feeling exhausted with strained voices. We only go when invited by friends; it is never our choice for this reason.
- "TOP DRAWER" restaurant East Bayserve2allVIPDined on 8/20/2014Birthday lunch here was excellent. Salmon lunch and Fried Cod sandwich...amazing. Bartender knows how to make a drink. Service very good. A bit noisy, but the food, ambiance and drinks were perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Saturday lunchAcedVIPDined on 8/16/2014As always, the cod sandwich was wonderful and the pork belly had a nice summer preparation. Enjoyable, we've been many times and will continue to come.Special Features:
- Great food amidst the noisedutchVIPDined on 8/11/2014This restaurant continues to put out really delicious food, and the service is quite fine. I just wish it were not so incredibly noisy! Difficult to have a conversation without leaning towards your tablemates and speaking very loudly. Oh well, I will continue to go here because of the wonderful food.Special Features:
- wood tavernjnorcalDined on 8/11/2014always delicious, fantastic burger and fries, but man, it was monday for lunch and packed, even when we left packed!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Anniversary DinnerfoodforsoulDined on 8/10/2014My husband and I dined here for our anniversary and it really was one to remember. Although I didn't get the romantic table (one by the window) that I'd requested because of the special day, the food definitely made up for it. My husband's pork chop and my halibut were cooked to absolute perfection. I purposely never finish all of my food insuring I have leftovers for the next day; at Wood Tavern this was not the case. I cleaned my plate and would have welcomed another piece of the flawless halibut save for not wanting to look like a pig!Special Features:
- Birthday LunchEnjoymentDined on 8/5/2014I made reservations and specified I was bringing a friend for her 65th birthday. When I have done this before my guest got a candle in the dessert we ordered. I have always paid for the dessert and thought at least there would be a candle this time. I was not about to question the staff, infront of my guest, about the candle. Was this too much to ask for? There was lots of outside noise though, from the construction across the street, but that is not the restaurant's fault. Otherwise we had a nice lunch and visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Experience!jayzmommVIPDined on 8/4/2014Wood Tavern was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. It is a small place but has the best food in the East Bay! Service was impeccable from the hostess to the server and everyone we encountered. The menu offers just enough choices but is not overwhelming and all ingredients are fresh and flavorful. Every bite was delicious and the sauces were just unbelievable. It was such an enjoyable evening. Great lively atmosphere!Special Features:
- Food took a while to arriveOaklandGABDined on 8/3/2014I ordered the pork chop and they said it takes a while. I still wasn't prepared to wait 35 minutes for my dinner to arrive. When it did arrive it was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bustling for lunchPrimodomDined on 8/1/2014Good food, very busy for lunch. Too loud to have a decent conversation.Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014Very good food, but the restaurant is very noisy. We sat in a table that is in the middle of the restaurant. In order to hear each other, we had to raise our voice volume three time as high as we would normally talk.Special Features:
- Good, but..OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/23/2014Had to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, but the hostess treated us with complimentary champagne as a consolation - nice touch. We started with the whiskey laced chicken liver pate - very good, as well as a blue cheese - the waiter picked up on our request for no bread and asked if we'd like gluten free crackers with the pate/cheese - also a nice touch. The maple duck breast was excellent as was the Manhattan from the bar. The burger was good, but the fries could use some work. Overall a nice spot for good food, but crowded and a bit hot as a result - close tables can make conversation a bit hard and be distracting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/22/2014A favorite place of mine but just too noisy to enjoy food or friends. Such a shame.
- Consistently excellentPHcoupleVIPDined on 7/22/2014We've been going to Wood Tavern right from when they opened 8 years ago. The short lunch and dinner menus feature creative, changing items plus the favorites that make this such a neighborhood, and now regional, must go destination. The lunch burger is unsurpassed in juicy taste, nestled in a baguette bun from equally famous La Farine Bakery next door. Comes with huge order of crispy fries. Wood Tavern maintains a good wine and beer list, features unique, changing menu items, and has a family vibe despite being super-busy lunch and dinner. There's no better place to have a great meal in Oakland/Berkeley!Special Features:
- Why the long reservation time????OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/21/2014There are so many more restaurants in the Oakland area that do not have a '3 month' waiting list for reservations. That is totally INSANE as Wood Tavern is not a 'five star' eatery. Yes, the food is good, but not spectacular. If your restaurant was located on at area with an ocean or moutain view, I could then understand the reservation wait list....but, that's not the case with this little restaurant located on College Avenue. Need to become more real folks!
- Great food in fun atmosphereFoodie84VIPDined on 7/19/2014Been a longtime Wood Tavern fan. Whether for lunch, mid day or dinner, this neighborhood gem never disappoints.Special Features:
- WanderingpalateWanderingpalateDined on 7/19/2014We arrived early on a Saturday afternoon. Although we had an later reservation, they seated us immediately. Our server was very professional and got our drinks quickly. We ordered the pork belly and chicken pate appetizers. The pork belly is crunchy on top and very savory with a delicious bed of spicy lentils. The chicken pate was smooth and accompanied by tasty mustard and fruit compote. I had a wonderful seafood stew with a great broth and very fresh fish and clams. My friend had the rare salmon and salad which she said was really good also. Our only complaint is about the noise level. I would suggest getting there early, so that you can talk before eating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much too noisyPatronDined on 7/17/2014The place was so loud that we couldn't converse at all--I went for lunch with an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time. The acoustics alone are bad enough, but when loud music is added it's impossible. Even though the food was good and the server was pleasant, I would not go back--there are plenty of places where the food is good and the noise level is reasonable. Your form says "energetic" for the top noise level--I needed a "deafening" box to check!
- Great FoodlovetodineoutDined on 7/17/2014I took my daughter there for her birthday (40 something....) and we had a delightful experience. Food outstanding, service friendly.Special Features:
- kind of disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/14/2014Not sure what I was expecting, but the food wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped and the service was not very great. We were jostled by the server and the busboy several times, so it is probably a space planning problem.
- Wood TavernOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/14/2014The best gazpacho I have ever had in a restaurant!Special Features:
- MojooVIPDined on 7/13/2014Yummy, delicious pork chops! Savory....best ever! Loved the berry trifle dessert! Excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodlovetoeatDined on 7/9/2014Every dish was very flavorful. Beer-battered string beans as an appetizer was surprisingly light. Pork was juicy and tender, ribeye was perfectly cooked and duck was a little dry but flavorful. The portion size of the duck was on the skimpy side. Overall, the service was great as our water glasses were always filled. Yet, the water was lukewarm...I don't know why they don't use ice in the water. We did not order dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Restaurant - Wood TavernEnjoymentDined on 7/9/2014What a wonderful place for lunch. We requested a window table and got it. My party was so delighted. The food was fabulous and the staff was very accommodating. Could not have asked for a better experience. Cannot wait to go back - maybe for dinner next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner before the A's gameDavisdudesDined on 7/7/2014Discovered Wood Travern on line when looking for a place in Berkley for early dinner before 7 pm A's game. They were great to seat us early and we started with appetizers, then right at 5:30 our dinner order went in. Duck, hanger steak and fish. All wonderful. We left our car in front and six blocks away caught Bart to coliseum in time for game. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the wait...OAKPORTVIPDined on 7/2/2014After many months to get a reservation it was found to be well worth the wait. An enjoyable dinner for two with the perfectly recommended wine selection to match our choices in meals - topped off by a great dessert. The staff is very knowledgeable in the food selections and wine pairings making the experience all the better. Never felt rushed to get through our meal allowing us to enjoy this perfect neighborhood treat. Make your reservations today.Special Features:
- Unbelievable foodOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/1/2014Everything we ate was absolutely fantastic. You could tell that the restaurant took great care with the selection and preparation of every individual ingredient from appetizers to entrees through dessert. No chicken dish has a right to be so delicious!Special Features:
- NicknameDined on 7/1/2014The restaurant is quite a distance from our home, but well worth the trip. The menu is small, albeit very well chosen with something for everyone and so beautifully presented and deliciously prepared. Their signature dish of pork chops is understandably so. I stay away from pork chops because it is normally dry and chewy--not so here. The meat is brined and comes out very moist and tender. Although the restaurant was very noisy and crowded, the service was never lacking--ever so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended if you're lucky enough to snag a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great ExperiencebeermeDined on 6/29/2014Consistently one of my favorite places to go with my wife. We've had lunch and dinner here, both are always great, drinks are awesome, can't say enough about how much I enjoy a nice meal here.Special Features:
- Terrific!SnackMacDined on 6/26/2014three members of my group had never been to Wood Tavern and they were suitably impressed! We trekked all the way across the bay on my recommendation and y'all did not disappoint! Fine food, excellent staff including hostess/manager who both handled a special request with professional efficiency.Special Features:
- Simply, greatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/23/2014Love this place. They get the details right. Nothing over the top fancy, but great energetic atmosphere, and they deliver exquisite tastes with a consistently positive experience.Special Features:
- Delicious and great valueUCity63Dined on 6/16/2014Wood Tavern remins a great value for the price. Portions of their delicious food are generous and hearty. The tomato and roasted red pepper soup and the chopped salad were both very task and satisfying. The pork chop was good, though a bit overdone, and the halibut could have used a bit more seasoning.The burrata with peaches and pesto starter made a fantastic dessert, instead of the cheese plate. As usual, the wines are very good here.Special Features:
- Good Little Neighborhood ResturantDavidssun123Dined on 6/16/2014We had eaten at their sister restaurant next door Southie and wanted to check out Wood Tavern for awhile. Food was very good, pork chop and Pavlova were awesome!! Lark was our server and she was very good(and cute :P). She's was very knowledgeable and knew just when to come by when we needed something. Only downside is the place can get pretty loud making it hard to talk. Overall had a great meal and a good experience!Special Features:
- Reliably GoodMizzbeDined on 6/13/2014I eat here often as the kitchen seems to be consistently good. The hot pastrami sandwich is unsurpassed, and way too big for one person, even someone with a man-sized appetite. Either share it or have it as an entree. Tables close to the windows tend to be less noisy.Special Features:
- DeliciousFlydriveeatDined on 6/12/2014Well there's a reason it's hard to get a reservation, the food is delicious and beautifully presented. The menu carefully curated so there's something for most palates. We made great use of our server's knowledge for dish decisions and wine picks. The service was impeccable and the whole team worked together to make it a great meal. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch DateMikeDined on 6/12/2014Enjoyed perfectly prepared swordfish with a Manhattan. Prompt service during a lunch hour rush.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oakland's Best!PhoodiePhatDined on 6/11/2014I have been coming to Wood Tavern for more than 4 years and it is the most consistently excellent in Oakland. I have never had a bad dish or bad service weather I sit at the bar (full menu) or had table service. The wine list is not what you'd expect (in a good way). A lot of European style varitals. I had the duck breast on Wednesday and it was the best prep of DB I have ever had (if it's on a menu at a good restaraunt I ususally get it). The owners are awesome and will usually come by your table to see how everything is going with your experience. Long story short, this is my favorite place in OAK. You will not be disappointed!Special Features:
- Wine SnobDennisDined on 6/11/2014Great wine service for the 2 California cult wines we brought in. Reidel glasses and the whole nine yards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Gritters out to tackle snow but schools remain open in Surrey
Updated 10:01am Monday 11th February 2013 in News
Snowfall overnight has not caused serious disruption this morning, with roads and rail lines open and no reports of school closures in Surrey.
Train services are reportedly running as normal.
A fleet of gritters were out on key roads in the east of Surrey last night after preparing for action before the weekend.
Surrey County Council had announced that 39 gritters and a mountain of salt were on 24/7 standby in the face of possible snowfall.
Teams have been refilling its grit bins since the last bout of snow in January and 16,000 tonnes of salt were stockpiled before the winter.

Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan notches 500th career assist
Originally published: Jan 28, 2014 - 10:53 pm
At 3:16 of the second period, Coyotes defenseman buried a shot on the power play to give his team a 2-0 lead. Goals are nice, but it was the set-up pass that made history: Doan recorded the 500th assist of his National Hockey League career.
"It means you've played for probably a long time," he joked after the win. "Especially in my case, when you're not that good, but you've just been around a long time.
"It's obviously something that's pretty unique and special."
Doan is currently sitting in third on the franchise's all-time assists list, chasing Dale Hawerchuk (550) and Thomas Steen (553), both of whom spent far less time with the team than Doan has.
"They spent a lot less time with the organization and they're still ahead of me, so slow and steady I guess," Doan said with a smile.

The Herald-Tribune
-- — Guest Column by State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) At any given time in Indiana, there are nearly 22,000 students between ages 16 and 19 who have left high school without a diploma. It should come as no surprise then, that 30 Hoosier schools have graduation rates below 70 percent. Unfortunately, when many students ìdrop out,î they arenít thinking about their future careers and families. Theyíre living in the now ó dealing with unexpected trials or wrong choices and doing their best to overcome them. However, recent U.S. Bureau of Census statistics show the average annual income for a high school dropout is $17,299, compared to $26,933 for a high school graduate. Additionally, college graduates earn on average $1 million more over a lifetime than do high school dropouts. That's why now more than ever, initiatives like the Hoosier Youth ChalleNGe Academy (HYCA) are key to turning around the lives of Indiana's dropouts. Established in 2007, this nearly 18-month, no-cost program sponsored by the Indiana National Guard provides a second chance for children ages 16 to 18 who struggled with academics in high school. HYCA shares similarities to a military training academy, but does not require any service commitments. It offers dropouts, expellees and students deficient in credits a two-phase program, during which they earn their General Education Diplomas (GEDs) while focusing on eight ìCore Componentsî: Leadership and followership; Responsible citizenship; Academic excellence; Job skills; Life-coping skills; Health and hygiene; Community service; and Physical fitness. After the first five and one-half months phase and earning their GEDs, ìcadetsî get assistance from a mentor for 12 months, while continuing their education at a college, trade or technical school. I was very pleased to have the opportunity on Saturday, June 11, to attend HYCAís eighth graduation ceremony, a momentous event in the lives of the 68 cadets finishing phase one of the program. These students received unique opportunities they never had before ó and possibly would never have seen, even in a traditional high school. Several $1,000 Bo Conaway Scholarships were given to deserving students who aspire to be craftsmen, while the Alumni Association of the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Childrenís Home granted one $500 award. To top it off, guest speaker and president of Ivy Tech Community College Thomas J. Snyder awarded all remaining cadets with scholarships for one class at Ivy Tech, worth $330 each. I couldn't have been happier to see these young Hoosiers get what may have been their first taste of success. The joy shared by the graduates, parents and friends at the ceremony was obvious. Thereís no doubt this program is a great opportunity serving Indiana children by getting them back on track with their education ó and, best of all, meeting them where they are. I encourage Hoosiers who know a student that might be eligible to contact HYCA by toll-free phone call at 877-860-0003 or U.S. mail at 1092 N. State Road 140, Knightstown, IN 46148

OPELOUSAS, La. (AP) - Deputies say the former director of the St. Landry Parish animal shelter and a current shelter employee have been arrested on animal cruelty and theft counts.
Sheriff Bobby Guidroz, who announced the arrests at the St. Landry Parish Council meeting Wednesday, said deputies booked former director Patricia Street and employee Troy Gallo on animal cruelty and theft of not more than $500, following an investigation by his office.
The Advocate reports (http://bit.ly/1jADx3L ) the sheriff declined to elaborate on the arrests.
He says Street and Gallo bonded out of the parish jail shortly after they were booked.
It was unclear whether Street or Gallo have attorneys.

Seven West Sussex shops fail in under-age sales test
12:00pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News
Seven shops have been caught out selling cigarettes, alcohol and fireworks to children.
More than a third of shops visited by volunteers aged 15 and 16 were found to be prepared to sell the products to under-age customers.
The investigation by West Sussex Trading Standards and Sussex Police found four shops in Worthing and three in Bognor operating illegally.
Trading standards officers said in some cases no questions at all were asked of the volunteers let alone requesting proof of age.
It is illegal to sell these products to those under 18 and Trading Standards supports the Think 25 policy encouraging traders to ask for ID from anyone who looks under that age.
Christine Field, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for public protection, said: "What is an especially worrying development is the sale of fireworks to our volunteers.
"In the past this has proved very rare. However, in this exercise two shops sold both fireworks and cigarettes to the volunteer in the same purchase."
Anyone suspecting a shop of serving under-age customers can report them anonymously on 0845 404 0506 or via www.westsussex.gov.uk by typing "incident reporting form" into the search bar.

I have always wondered about the legality of these 'tests' is it not entrapment and those sending the youngsters in are not above the law, so they are surely guilty of enticing a minor to break the law as well as entrapment.
That said, it works the other way when shop staff ask clearly legally aged people to produce id for alcohol, cigarettes and (even) paracetamol!

text: Fluoride and Children's Teeth Too Much of Good Thing: Test Your Fluoride Knowledge! by Rebecca Gruber 1/10/11 1 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Maybe there can be too much of a good thing! Fluoride, which is added to toothpastes and city water supplies to reduce cavities and tooth decay, is now considered the culprit in a tooth-spotting epidemic that has hit pre-teens and teenagers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, kids are suffering from fluorosis, a condition that is the result of over-fluoridated water, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is now recommending that local municipalities reduce the amount of fluoride placed into their water supplies. We love seeing our lil ones' pearly whites. Take this quiz to see how much you know about tots and fluoride. Source: Thinkstock Read More Dental CareFluorideWater TheBestRedDress 3 years Personally I find it amusing that in a nation where there is socialized health care people actually believe that water is put in the drinking supply because THEY care about your teeth LOL Think again folks. Eliminate sugar, brush regularly, get proper Calcium, and you'll find you do just fine and have no cavities.

What's Happening in West Virginia?
Julia Benincosa Legg will be hosting a Live Library Media Digital Learning Technology Smackdown from 8 am – 4 pm via Twitter and Thinkfinity Community.
Anytime during the day on Wednesday, February 6th, you can post one (or more!) Tweets to the hashtag #wvlm_smackdown to share your resources, ideas or tools! To participate, just post your idea and include (#wvlm_smackdown) in the text. It will then appear whenever anyone does a search in Twitter for #wvlm_smackdown!

"Rhythm of You" a music video written, recorded, and filmed by two talented young ladies from Liberty High School.
The lyrics and music were written by Emily C. Allen. Breanna Todd sang back up vocals. The music was recorded on a school laptop with Cool Edit Pro. It was edited in Adobe Soundbooth. The video was shot using our new JVC hm150u HD camera. The video was edited using Adobe Premiere. Emily And Breanna did the digital recording and Joshua Smith did the lights and digital camera work for the video.
I'm at East Fairmont Junionr High School in Marion County. I will be using the link to our monthly magazine for math. The lesson is called On A Roll and uses bar graphs to compare Roller man to the other superfast athletes from around the world. The link is www.scholastic.com/math . The kids really like getting the digital treatment that goes with the magazine. Some groups are large and we will work in teams. Others can view and work individually
Let me introduce myself: my name is Violeta Gruia, I am a Math teacher at Greenbrier West High School and I simply love using technology in my classroom. I have some pictures with my students while they use either their net book with Math online practice, the Smart Board with applets, or the responders. I need to make sure first that all students in the pictures agree with me sending these pictures. We experience snow days right now, but first day we return to school I will send my pictures to you. I also have some preferred ways to teach Math using technology: we use different applications from SAS, Acuity, Smart board Exchange and any other interactive web sites I find on www. Sometimes we use the responders (mostly verbal) and at the end of each unit my students practice/review on carefully chosen assignments from www.thatquiz.com. I direct them using the guest access: vgruia on my www.portaportal.com. They just need to access their class, to choose their name from the class list and use a password. Each assignment has guided and step by step applications of what they have learned as well as an immediate feedback (wrong / right answer) with a score and detailed explanations in the end. I receive their score automatically, I may reset some grades (my students ask me to if they are failing or not good enough scores) and I average these scores into a classwork grade for each unit of instruction. Let me know if there is something you want me to share more about. Thank you, Violeta Gruia
We also have this short documentary based on the My Hero Project. The original music was composed and recorded by Frank Treadway. We include a QR code at the end as an experiment with digital portfolios. - E. Jeremy Rodriguez, Liberty High School

Congratulations to the staff and students at Madison Middle School in Boone County. The schools entry in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition was selected as one of the top 15 national finalists. As a finalist, the school will receive $40,000.00 in technology and software. Should they make it to the final 5, the school will receive a $110,000.00 technology package. The next phase of the competition involves online voting for the top 15 video submissions. The WVDE doesnt normally promote voting competitions using our state email lists. However, this competition is clearly for the benefit of Madison Middle School and no individual is profiting from the competition. So I would like to ask all interested educators to support this schools entry and vote for Madison Middle School using the link below. www.samsung.com/solvefortomorrow Way to go Madison Middle School!

My English 9 Honors students read the novel Animal Farm. We discussed the types of propaganda used in this book in connection with the Russian Revolution. We first viewed examples of propaganda in relation to this book and the time period with the following links:
Next, students researched different propaganda techniques in our school's computer lab. They listed summaries of these techniques on the following worksheet:
Finally, students viewed various commercials and categorized them according to propaganda type on the same worksheet. We viewed these commercials on the overhead. Here is the link:
Once students saw how propaganda was used in history and real-world advertisements, they began creating an advertisement of their own. Each group chose a product randomly from a stack of printed pictures, and they developed either a print ad or a commercial to present to their class. They were required to use one propaganda technique that they learned as well as choose a target audience for their ad.
This lesson was both enjoyable and informative, revealing the necessity for digital/media awareness.
CSOs covered:
ELA.9.SL.C14.2 make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance
understanding of findings, reasoning and evidence and to add interest.ELA.9.SL.C14.3 adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate.

I tweeted most of this out today, but I thought WVDE might want to know a little more about how Enslow Middle School is embracing the digital age through a 1:1 initiative using IOS devices.
We have rolled out approximately 200 devices to students and faculty since October of 2012. The student level of engagement has dramatically increased especially during activities that require research, collaboration, and investigation when every student that returned an IOS Device Acceptable Use Policy received a device. Teachers embraced the freedom of having a digital tool in the hands of students and the use of Edmodo allows for conservation of paper when assignments are submitted. QR Codes, video projects, wireless microscopes, cloud productivity tools, Overdrive Library, presentations, and a host of other Apps requested by staff and students to augment learning opportunities are installed on the iPads. We also created some class sets of devices to service students that could not participate in the 1:1 program. Pictures are attached of some activities from February 6, 2013.
Thank you for promoting Digital Learning Day.

|It's not too late for board to reconsider ATV plan
Letter to the Editor:
Just wanted to remind the Three Lakes Town Board, planning committee and businesses that it was their choice to exclude the majority of taxpayers who "voted" against the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) proposal prior to the committee's and board's vote.Yes, that's right, the majority of Three Lakes voters and taxpayers voted against the ATV proposal. I?would also like to remind the town board and businesses that, not once, did you offer solutions that would benefit all of the residents. Instead, you chose the all-or-nothing approach.
I?recall very well the town board members and business owners saying "You will just have to live with the ATVs riding down your road because it is for the good of the community." Even though facts and real studies were never presented to support the ATV proposal. Facts and figures arguing against the town plan were readily available.
Now at least one town board member is trying to scare residents by saying they may not get the care they need from emergency medical technicians or the fire department. This is classic bullying!
It is the town's job to make reasonable decisions that keep its residents and roads safe. This ATV proposal affects so many and deserved more than seven hours of the board's time.
Additionally, in canvassing other town boards in-state and out, and business boards, the unanimous feedback is that at least one member of the town board should have definitely recused himself from the vote and meeting.
It's not too late for the town board and businesses to do the right thing. Reconsider this ATV ordinance. Listen to all residents. Bring the community together.
If the Three Lakes businesses' main reason for ATV routes is increased business, then they should pay close attention to what Mr. Kaufman from the Seasonal Residents Association said, "Residents' only weapon against this sort of prejudice is economic."

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Once a great maritime power and a rival of Venice and Genoa, Pisa today is best known for its famed Leaning Tower. A scenic drive by coach brings you to the heart of Pisa where you will enjoy approximately 3 hours on your own to discover this tranquil university town and the splendid buildings that recall the grandeur of the Pisan Republic.
One of the sights you'll be sure to want to explore is Miracle Square, famous for its Cathedral, the Baptistery and Bell Tower, otherwise known as the Leaning Tower. Those who choose to visit the interior of the Cathedral will have the opportunity to see where Galileo studied and view the famous Galileo's Lamp. You will also be able to marvel at the wonderful architecture of the Baptistery whose acoustics create a unique echo and make it an ideal location for any concerts.
Following your free time spent enjoying Pisa's numerous treasures and shopping in the charming stores, you'll rejoin your escort at the appointed location and time for the return transfer back to the pier in Livorno.
Please note: Oceania recommends the Discovery Walks program as a great supplement to this tour. Lightweight clothing, hats and comfortable walking shoes are also suggested. On Sunday morning, the Cathedral can not be visited due to services. Suitable attire is required to enter churches and monasteries. During Bank Holidays shops will be closed. Walking is involved from the parking area to "Miracle Square" and back.

A South Austin neighborhood man has been charged with first-degree murder after prosecutors said he shot and killed the father of his girlfriend's child, the Sun-Times is reporting.
Shaughnessy Simms Jr., 31, of the 5900 block of West Midway Park, was ordered held without bail Sunday by Cook County Judge James Brown.
Assistant State's Attorney Kingsley Sawyers said Simms and his girlfriend began to argue Friday at Simms' home because he'd been dating other women. The argument went on for a couple of hours, Sawyers said.
Eventually he said the girlfriend went to her room and got on the phone, speaking to Jermane Richardson, the father of her 7-year-old child.
Richardson showed up at the residence 45 minutes later and knocked on the door, the prosecutor said. Simm's girlfriend came out of her room to speak to Richardson, who was at the bottom of a set of stairs.
A witness later saw Simms come out of his room with a "big gun," Sawyers said, and he began to argue with Richardson as the girlfriend tried to intervene.
Eventually Richardson began to walk up the stairs toward Simms, Sawyers said, but Simms shot him once in the arm. Then, after Richardson fell to the ground in a seated position, the prosecutor said Simms stood over him and shot him two more times, once in the head.
Simms was arrested in Downstate Freeport, police said, and admitted to shooting Richardson.

It was in 1924 that Robert Dean
Frisbie, born in Ohio in 1896, came to Pukapuka to run a small
trading store for A.B.Donald.
After leaving the United States Frisbie lived in Tahiti, Moorea
and Rarotonga, but he yearned for the total isolation which
he hoped would fully liberate his artistic spirit and so help
him write a classic novel of the South Seas. Frisbie saw himself
as a successor to Herman Melville and Robert Louis Stevenson,
writers he greatly admired.
And so, much has been written about this fascinating island
and its culture.
It is now possible to visit Pukapuka on one of our regular
Northern Atoll Adventure charters or you could charter your own aircraft to visit this truly remote place, please see our charters page for chartering your own flight.

750ml bottle generously shared at jlindros 30th birthday tasting by Duffy and Kyle. Big thanks for getting the opportunity to try this major want of mine. Poured into a Sierra Nevada 30th anniversary glass.
A - Pours a well hazed, pale grapefruity juice looking liquid in the glass. A fizzy, thin head of white bubbles forms briefly and falls to the surface leaving only a thin collar of bubbles and not much for lacing.
S - Super funky and barnyard! Tons of brett influence here. Powdered sugar, cherries galore, super tart and sour! I am liking this a lot.
T - Lots of cherry up front to make the first impression. Sweet, a bit sugary overall although quite tart and sour. Funk isn't as strong as in the aroma but definitely here to make an impact at a medium level intensity. Very nice.
M - Thin/medium body with a very high carbonation that gives a foamy feel in the mouth...nice and funky and tart.
O - Definitely didn't let me down. Been wanting to try this for a long time after being unsuccessful in landing a bottle myself. Glad to try this one!

Review from notes. Tasted this at Ryan's Labor Day tasting 2011.
L - Wow, great color - translucent red/blue, nice spritely top bubbles.
S - Nice tart, touch of cherry skin, the wheat actually goes a long way in the nose too.
T - Solid! Again, wheat and nice tart cherry, perhaps nearly imperceptible blueberry - tastes very summery.
F - Pleasant and smooth flowing. Once more the wheat from the Dreamweaver has contributed its part to make this smoooth.
O - Refreshing, though not overly complex or fruit-forward.

Damn near as perfect a beer as I could imagine. The brett, cherries, wheat, and oak are all in harmony.
This poured a beautiful rose color, and smelled or sour cherries, oak, and brett.
The taste was all flavor to savor, with each sip allowing the combination of flavors to shine. The nose matched the flavor, and the carbonation was just perfect. Despite some reports of gushers, I found this carbonation to be spot on fine.
Mouthfeel was smooth and silky with tiny prickly bubbles, just how I like it.
Overall, I'd drink this stuff everyday if I could. Troegs, make this a regular. seriously.

Enjoyed at JLindros' Birthday whale tasting last month. Thanks to Duffy and Kyle for sharing. Reviewed from notes.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a hazy light pinkish cherry hue with a very, very nice two finger head that leaves a light blanket and good, solid lacing.
S - Alright! Cherries really pop on the nose; tart and sour. Some nice vanilla notes and brett/lambic aromas round things off.
T - Taste is lots of big, tart, sour cherries. Light funk, faint vanilla notes as well as barrel notes. Just slightly, slightly flemmy with some light wheat/grassy notes too.
M - Mouthfeel is quite nice. High carbonation here but almost to the point of being distracting.
O - Overall a very nice sour cherry wild here. Quite well balanced and tasty.

Shared at my Birthday whale tasting. Thanks to Duffy and Kyle for sharing.
Pours a big fizzy bubbly head, wild looking style head but a bit of lacing, bigger than expected too, hazy reddish orange color.
Nose Sour fruit, wild funk, some Brett horsehair funk, tart cherry and lambic notes.
Taste has big tart cherries, tart fruit, little wild Brett funk, some sourness, light wheat base and lambic flavors, grassy even, fairly tart finish, long finish with sour cherries, tart, little flemmy.
Mouth is lighter bodied, nice carb.
Overall quite nice, nice sourness, good tart cherries, nice overall flavors, quite well done.

Bottle (2010)
Thanks for opening this with me, VaTechHopHead!
(Aged for 2+ years)
Violet and dark rose in color with an eggshell-white head. Leaves spots of stick down the glass.
Vibrant cherry with big notes of dirt/earth Brett character. Funky and fruity, I like it.
The flavor is complex--much more so than the aroma would indicate. A lovely combination of an interesting earthy/dirty/Fall leaves funk, and lots of vibrant, juicy cherry flesh and skin character. Moderate sourness, but not over the top.
Medium to near full in body for the style with low/moderate carbonation. Perhaps a bit heavy.
Exceptional. One of the favorites among a star-studded tasting.

Poured into a tulip.
3.0 A: Moderately hazed medium orange color. Fizzy white head that falls almost as fast as it forms.
4.0 S: Oddly enough, it still resembles Dreamweaver fairly well. Clove, banana, and pepper bring back good memories of Pittsburgh where I drank a ton of Dreamweaver. Cherries add a layer of complexity, but they don't come through with a lot of strength (at this age anyway). Tart fruitiness and some tanginess, but not a lot of pure sourness. Lemon and apple notes. Funk is an outdoorzy funk featuring apple orchard, wood, and forest after a rain.
4.5 T: The taste is where all the components come together. Clove, pepper, and banana from the base. Tart cherry from, well, the cherries. Potent oak with vanillins and a touch of supple tannins. Brett funk gives apple orchard, clean sewer, forest, and wet wood. Notes of lemon, apple, and pear. Quite mellow and refined while also being sophisticated and complex. Very tasty beer.
4.0 M: Light to lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Lightly prickly and bubbly and superbly smooth.
4.5 D: This beer is criminally drinkable, where the crime is that Troegs only made 400 bottles of this. Not a super sour beer and I've certainly had others with way more funk, but this brings all the flavors together in a way that brings the best out of everything.

750mL corked & caged bottle poured into a tulip. Crazy thanks to Andy for sharing! Never thought I would get a chance to try this one.
(A)- Pours a hazy rose-blush color that produced some white froth that dissipated quickly. Minimal lace.
(S)- A super dry by oaky tartness surrounded with hints of berry -like fruits. Ever so slightly funky.
(T)- Similar to the smell, though far more sourness than expected. Really nice dry oaky bits in there that meshes quite nicely with the berry (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry) fruits.
(M)- A really nice bubbly carbonation level. Balance is real good too with the sour, oak, and fruits. Harmonious is really the best word I can use here.
(O)- This is just plain nice. A lovely balance of oak, fruit, and sour that just helps it be that much more drinkable . Very well done!

I've gotten emails, and comments all week that people want to start video marketing, but the biggest problem is they are camera shy… don't like how they look… don't like how they sound.
For the don't like how you look/sound I only have one thing to say… get over it. You sound and look totally different to yourself then you do to anyone else. If you want to video market ~ just do it.
One thing you can do to get over the look/sound thing though is this… make a video and then edit the hell out of it. You'll have to keep listening and looking while you're editing and at some point you'll stop caring, because you'll be focused not on YOU but on the task at hand… and it will be totally different.
As for camera shy ~ I have a HUGE tip for you on that one:
This one tip has helped more people than you'll ever know… but when it comes down to it… doing video is all about mindset…
