I am replacing our tub and have seen where a mortar bed should be placed under it..How deep does it need to be and how much of the tub should be covered by it ?
It is there for support purposes, so have it cover as much of the bottom as possible -- without getting in the way of the drain assembly.
The idea is to put down the mortar, than set the tub in place and put weight on it to set it in the mortar to set it to the level you want the tub at. And that usually involves standing inside the tub while you move sideways and back and forth to help get in place. Mix the mortar not too thick, not too thin. You don't want it runny, but you don't want it so thick that it won't squish around to be able to set the tub.
Keep an open eye thru the access panel or where ever you can see, if it doesn't turn out right, pull the tub, remix the mortar or reset it and try again.
How deep does it need to be: there is no set rule of 2 inches or 5 inches. It is more determined by exactly what tub you're using and if it's an island, or an alcove, or a roman tub set up, and if you'll have tile around it, if the tile is already installed, or yet to be installed. Plan ahead.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,

A 12-year-old Jackson girl has been released from the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children after being injured in a dog attack two weeks ago.
Kiya West of northeast Jackson was mauled by the next door neighbor's pit bull July 8. She sustained injuries to her leg, chest, abdomen and hand. She had skin graft surgery during her stay at the hospital.
After 10 days in quarantine, the pit bull responsible for severely injuring Kiya was returned to his owner Thursday afternoon. Now that the dog is out of the possession of Animal Control it is considered vicious.
"The owner of the animal has to have it enclosed, has to have a muzzle, leash, some type of restraint if it's off the property. On the property, it must be confined to not have contact with any people," says Jackson Police Commander Duane Odom, who oversees Animal Control.
"We will release it to the owner with certain stipulations. The animal will be fostered out. That's up to the owner," he adds. "Past ten days, (Deuce) has been agreeable so to speak. He's been agreeable. We have not had any indications at this point that he's been aggressive to our people."Jackson Police Spokesperson Colendula Green said on Friday animal control would "use its discretion" on putting down the 1-year-old dog named Deuce. Although Deuce's owner, Brinda West, indicated two days after the attack that she did not want the dog back, West has since indicated that she wants to reclaim the dog.
On July 8, Kiya West, no relation to the dog owner, went into Brinda West's gated back yard next door. It was then that the dog attacked Kiya.
Kiya West's mother, Javonda Patton, tried to pull the dog off, and Brinda West fired gunshots, also in efforts to remove the dog from the child. Deuce eventually let go, but only after causing a huge gash in Kiya's inner thigh, and more.
"Five to six puncture wounds in her chest and stomach area, also in her hand," said Patton.
During a phone interview Thursday afternoon, Patton contradicted a family member's original story that Kiya had gone into the back yard next door to find a ball. Patton claimed the dog owner's young son brought Kiya into the back yard to pet the dog, and that's when Deuce attacked.
Pit bulls are a polarizing topic for central Mississippi residents with many claiming the breed has gained a bad reputation because of the widespread, illegal fighting of the breed. A lawyer out of Ridgeland, Johnny Givens with Porter & Malouf, explains what a dog owner's rights would be in a case like this. Hypothetically, he says, when someone enters someone else's property they're trespassing, and a dog's purpose is often to guard property.
"You also have in Mississippi what's generally referred to as, you get one bite free. The dog has to have previously shown some type of aggressive behavior toward an individual. On top of that, you have to show that the dog owner knew or should have known of that before you can impose liability on the owner of the dogs," Givens says.
Brinda West explains Deuce has never attacked before.
The City of Jackson says it will not adopt the dog out to anyone other than the owner for liability reasons. If the dog bites again, the owner could be held liable. Violation of the vicious dog ordinance could carry a fine of up to $500 and up to 30 days in jail.
There was a fear that if the dog owner did not take Deuce back, and the city refused to adopt him out to anyone else, Deuce would be put down. The story of Deuce facing euthanization sparked an online frenzy to save the dog's life. A petition was created online by a reader of the story.
One Mississippi resident who signed the petition in support of allowing Deuce to live said the dog was likely simply protecting his own family.
"Deuce doesn't need to be put down for doing what I am sure what the owner got him for not only for a family pet, but for protection," writes the supporter.
"I've been around [pit bulls] for a very long time. They're very good dogs as long as you raise them right. It's all in the raising," claims Amber Snowden, a Brandon resident who also signed the online petition.
Snowden adds she would adopt Deuce if she could. She believes with a little time, the dog would make a great pet.
"I think with rehabilitation and someone working with [Deuce] on a regular basis, I think the dog would be fine," explains Snowden.
Ridgeland Attorney Johnny Givens explained that people who want to adopt a dog that has a history of biting might want to think twice.
"Do you want to keep the dog alive? [What if] it attacks somebody else down the road and possibly kill somebody?" questioned Givens, Attorney with Porter & Malouf.
Many of the supporters hoping to spare the dog's life reached out to the Villalobos Rescue Center, known for its reality television show Pit bulls & Parolees, in New Orleans. The center responded on its Facebook page stating:
"In regards to the Jackson, MS dog Deuce. We are getting bombarded with phone calls, emails and posts. We DO NOT take dogs with a bite history ESPECIALLY a child. This would be a huge liability for us to take on and we could and would NEVER adopt out a dog knowing that he bit someone ESPECIALLY a child. And if you saw her bite wounds, that was no "nip". He BIT HER AND GOOD. I can't say for sure what happened as I don't know all the real facts. But this is not a dog that we would consider taking in for adoption purposes."
Patton says the family owned a pit bull puppy themselves, but gave it up the day Kiya was attacked.
"I am devastated about the whole situation, because it's just a hard thing, having to get the dog up off of my daughter, and I am trying to deal with it," said Patton. "She has a golf ball size hole in her inner thigh. And she also was punctured in the stomach, and in her chest and in the hand."

We moved to Albuquerque almost eight years ago from Alaska and, before that, Oregon. We knew we were in for a bit of a culture shock, since we were coming from the wet coastal Northwest to a high desert. We planned to stay in the Albuquerque area at least until retirement, and gave thought to staying here even after retirement. In recent months, as our retirement date approaches, we have made the decision to move away.
I'd like to give what I think is a balanced view of life in Albuquerque and NM, from a non-native point of view.
The weather, the vivid blue skies, the magical light that plays on the mountains at sunset are all astoundingly beautiful. I love that there are four distinct seasons; fall, with the brilliant yellow cottonwoods along the Rio Grande, being my favorite.
I love that Albuquerque is a hot air balloon mecca. The annual Balloon Fiesta is a sight to behold, and the morning skies are dotted with balloons throughout the spring, summer and fall.
The multi-cultural atmosphere has its charm. The history, and the ancient pueblo ruins in the area, are fascinating. Hiking trails and biking trails abound.
Shopping is pretty good here. There are a couple large malls and one new outdoor marketplace (ABQ Uptown). The smaller, family owned shops seem to come and go, but all of the common big-box stores are here.
And now for the negative. Financially, we have not found the pay scale to keep up with the cost of living here. Even though we are both well-educated and experienced, I have taken jobs below my abilities and my husband has opted for working through consulting firms, which seems to be the norm here.
Education in New Mexico, including Albuquerque, is sad - high rate of drop-outs, poor test scores, large classrooms, problems with gangs, drugs, etc.
Although many people claim Albuquerque has "wonderful restaurants," we haven't bought into that, ourselves. Maybe it's just that our taste hasn't acclimated yet. For one thing, do NOT come to Albuquerque looking for great Mexican food. The restaurants here serve "New Mexican" food, which is a combination of Mexican and Pueblo Indian cuisine. I miss the Tex-Mex style of Mexican food that I grew up with (even in the Northwest).
The multi-cultural charm has a flip side - the poverty in the pueblos, the discrimination based upon surname, the "manana" mind-set.
New Mexicans don't seem to have any desire to keep their environment clean. Trash lines the streets and roads, city streets are littered with debris. With the exception of the beautiful Sandia mountains to the east and the forested Bosque along the river, much of Albuquerque is made up of brown, dusty, scrubby vacant lots, many behind barbed wire.
Corruption in government is rampant. I think this has been the one thing that astounded me most about living here. How can people let this go on?! The crime rate, in general, is high, as well. I have to say, though, that in our eight years here, we have not been the victim of crime. However violent crime, even murder, is common; drug crime is commonplace. There is a high rate of drunk driving, and even the sober drivers seem to not know or not care about traffic laws. Albuquerque drivers are downright rude. I sometimes wonder if they are just ignoring traffic laws or whether they truly are ignorant of them.
I haven't hated living in Albuquerque. But our decision is to leave when we retire in just over a year from now. There are certainly better places to live, with lower cost of living, less cliquishness, and where the citizens take more pride in maintaining their surroundings and in holding their government officials to standards. It's been an interesting and, in many ways, fun few years here, but we're ready to move on.

re: Pros and Cons After Eight Years - 11/13/2010 - 12/6/2010
I left in November, too, and am very glad I finally did. I needed civility in my daily life and never found that in Albuquerque - too much shouting, too much "drama," too much panhandling, too much laziness, too much rude behavior, too much sloppy habits - not cleaning up after themselves at fast food restaurants or even better ones. It may be for some people; but not for me. And, yes, the cost of living does not equal the pay for jobs. If you are educated and not from the area, you won't get a job. I could go on and on, but it's not worth my time.
re: Pros and Cons After Eight Years - 11/13/2010 - 11/29/2010
Linda, if I may ask, where will you be going when you leave Albuquerque? I have enjoyed reading your thoughtful comments, and would love to know where your hopes lie for the future. Thank you, Carol
Albuquerque, NM - 8/3/2014
I have lived in Albuquerque most of my life and it is absolutely terrible. Crime is ridiculously high. In general people are friendly but they are also very lazy, uneducated and ignorant. The way most people treat their dogs here should be criminal (and probably is in other states.) Most people here have two or three dogs and like to keep them chained or fenced up 24-7. As a result the dogs have a lot of anxiety and freak out over every little noise. The education system here is a joke. A LOT of wannabe gangsters. The cost of living is relatively low, but there is still a ton of poverty. It is horribly hot and humid during the summer, and the winters are mild. The seasons are nice. I personally love chile but I find it annoying how obsessed with it people are here. There is little to do besides the zoo and bars. Most people stay home and party in their houses. The majority of people here drink a LOT and meth is a problem. They do have really good programs for women here. Sadly, I have found Albuquerque to be the best city to live in this state. New Mexico as a whole is just awful. Overall, I hate this city and state and it is one of my dearest ambitions to move my family out of here and give my daughter a better life in a better city.

Health and Welfare - 8/3/2014
Albuquerque is a quirky city that is contradictory in many ways.
For instance, the scenery is nice with the mountains to the east, and this makes for a relaxing setting from one's patio. But the spring weather can be hostile caused by wind blowing the dust. The folks who've lived here all of their lives say there are four seasons: 1) summer, 2) fall, 3) winter, and 4) wind.
Crime and drunk drivers are habitual concerns, with speeders being rampant regardless of the time of day or where you may be around town. Driving at or very near (3-5 mph) the speed limit will tend to annoy the bulk of folks who always seem to be running late and needing to make up some time. Warning--count to 2 before pulling into an intersection after the light turns green because there's a 50/50 chance someone will run the light. It really seems as if the speed limit signs are more realistically "suggested" speeds around here.
Property crimes occur all around town with the SE/SW section having the most violent instances. An alarm system and even a home surveillance system is a wise option. Also, sturdy security doors that are in sync with your home's exterior appearance are a good, cost-effective security choice too.
There are a number of more upscale restaurants around town, so check with the locals for their insightful reviews unless you're naturally adventurous when it comes to food and dining out.
Evening entertainment tends to be predominately bar or tavern-based, but Old Town sometimes offers some good performers of all kinds for the right price--free. There are some performing theater options, but the locations for these can get a bit dicey depending upon the time of the event. Being in some of these places after dark is ideally done with a group of friends rather than alone.
Health care is generally good, but availability to primary care doctors is becoming a bit problematic due to retirements and cutbacks of acceptance of new patients. There are, however, numerous medical facilities around town, so convenience is a plus.
Outdoor activities are plentiful such as hiking and biking. The Bosque path (fully paved) is ideal for cyclists, runners and walkers, and there's 0 vehicular traffic for the approximate 16 mile stretch. Numerous exits are offered, so you aren't stuck on there if you get the urge for a cup of coffee or want to try an alternate route.
Before moving to ABQ have a clear understanding about what you're interested in finding. After relocating here several years ago I've come to understand that it's all about discovery. Ideally, spend a few days or even a few weeks in the area before making the leap. You'll have a much better understanding about the overall setting with less chance for regret later. And by all means, talk with the locals, they'll be candid and forthright when it comes to telling it like it is regardless of your question or concern.

Albuquerque is terrible !! - 7/26/2014
Stay away from this place, its terrible. If you are a liberal taker that wears birkenstocks you might fit in. Totally ugly women - not one knows how to wear makeup. No jobs, just a bunch of losers hanging on. Schools are terrible. Not one good thing to say about this crap hole !!![Comment on this Posting]
Objective Views - 7/14/2014
The Pro's:
Nice mountains, scenery, I personally thought there were a lot of friendly people there. A lot of nice weather. Winters aren't bad. Summers are hot, but not like Phoenix or Las Vegas. UNM is a nice university. There is a lot of entrepreneurial spirit (but see below). Intel is there as is the university and an F.A.A. air-traffic center.
The Cons:
It's a city that has seen better days and is behind the times. The neighborhoods are crumbling. Even the famous "Northeast Heights" have gone downhill. So many of the homes are crappy, unaesthetic little doll-houses built after WWII and are now in poor repair. It's a transient city like Vegas and Phoenix.
The pay is awful. They think it's preposterous if you want more than $15/hr. Even people with degrees are poorly paid. There is an oversupply of unskilled labor so it keeps the pay down. Poverty is rampant. Lots of welfare and illegitimacy. The educational level is low. Some neighborhoods look positively third world.
There is an old boys network here. They call it the "patrone system". You need connections with the old boys (and not just white boys)for a decent job. As it's been explained to me: There's a poverty mentality that prevails.
There is a ton of crime. Drugs are RAMPANT!!! Vato/Cholo gangs are prevalent. That being said there is some unbelievable white trash, the likes of which I didn't even encounter in Phoenix. The crime is mostly property crime. There are murders and robberies but larceny, burglary and vandalism are the leaders. Lock your cars and homes! It's best to live in Rio Rancho or Taylor Ranch. There's actually some nice houses there. I would rather be here than Phoenix, but that ain't saying much.

An honest review - 6/18/2014
I will try to give the most honest, semi-educated review here - very much unlike the others. I live in the middle of Albuquerque near UNM and downtown. My car has been left unlocked for the past six months with no problems (not recommended of course). Albuquerque is one of the poorest major cities I can think of, and there is an average amount of crime though it is almost always non-violent. The city is old and not "beautiful" like you might be used to in newer, wealthier cities or suburbs. Bars on windows - absolutely. There are plenty of gangs and such like most cities, and these are most prevalent in the southeastern part of the city and southern farming communities. Being from the St. Louis area, I was surprised to see people calling this portion of the city a "ghetto," since bikers ride through it regularly with no problems. Racial and cultural diversity is phenomenal, some of the best of any US city. Racism is much less of a problem than any other major city I've been in other than Seattle. Socially, the city is extremely accepting, and I've not experienced any cliqu-yness whatsoever. This city is so laid back that it's hard to imagine such a thing. There are ~400 miles of bike roads/trails throughout the city, and within 45 minutes you can be at 10,678ft overlooking the road grid at a temperature 20 degrees below that in the city. If you get away from buildings, you can easily see 60 or more miles to distant mountains. A two-hour drive will get you to the most scenic-natural places of any other major city outside of perhaps the Northwest. But culturally, this will not be your type of city if you cannot accept that there is no majority. The climate index is similar of that in coastal California (check it out!), though I do miss rain!
I have heard that many public schools are subpar, so certainly keep that in mind. Police are corrupt (major city for you). It is a bit smaller than most cities - perhaps less to do - and you can't come the suburbs of Whiteville, USA and expect the exact same culture. This isn't anything like Phoenix! I personally feel that this is a bit of a hidden gem, but that's for you to decide. I hope this gives a bit better perspective than the other reviews.
Best of luck![Comment on this Posting]
It's called the Land of Entrapment for a reason... - 6/10/2014
The joke among the locals is that it's "the land of Entrapment" vs. the land of Enchantment which is the slogan that greets you as you enter New Mexico. I've been in Albuquerque for about eight years and I now understand what the locals meant. Virtually in the middle of nowhere for 6-7 hours in all directions, and there is nothing here. I would say okay to visit, but not to live if you're used to a faster pace unless you're retiring. Coming from the East Coast, initially it was a nice change of scenery to the hustle and bustle of the fast paced concrete jungle, but the newness has worn off. It's much slower here, but almost too slow. Most of the previous posts are very accurate descriptions. Pros-amazing weather, relatively low cost of living, low crime compared to most major cities, light traffic, great for retirees. Cons-zero entertainment-no real sports teams, no entertainment-aside from performers that haven't been relevant in decades, so if nostalgia is your thing then Albuquerque is perfect. I agree with a previous poster about the food here. It's terrible. You can only have so many burritos, tamales, and red and green chile EVERYthing before you begin to detest the cuisine here. Not to mention REAL cons. One of our suburbs is rumored to be home to a witness protection program. Lots of addicts here too. Meth, pills, and alcoholism is pretty bad here, but if I had lived here my entire life, I would probably resort to drug abuse to cope as well. Three movie theaters, two malls, a few bowling alleys, a few bars, a few casinos, a few parks, a dirty river, and a mountain range sums up what Albuquerque has to offer its residents.[Comment on this Posting]
What a sewer of a city - 4/28/2014
The politicians will tell you what you want to hear then screw you over royal. This place is a den of thieves and swindlers and that's about the businesses and government. There are some nice people here but they are few and far between. Dugs and alcohol is everywhere no safe place to live in this looser cesspool.[Comment on this Posting]
I'm home! - 4/3/2014
Glad to be back home where I belong! I moved away from Albuquerque, N.M. 21 years ago to Denver, CO where I lived for 18 years. I made a BIG mistake and quit my job that I loved and moved to Los Angeles, CA. I hated it there If you were a middle- class type person, and you moved to a place like Los Angeles, you suddenly became impoverished due to the extremely high cost of living. Yes, I ended up living in the most ghetto-est city. I'm not racist but I have to admit... I absolutely felt as if I were living in some foreign country- Mexico, to be exact!
The cost of living in Albuquerque is so much better! I feel richer having moved back here- I'm even able to freely spend and save money, finally! I love Albuquerque and I'm glad to be back.[Comment on this Posting]
land of enchantment - 3/8/2014
great place to raise a family, there are so many fun places to take the kids. there is the bio park, aquarium with a shark in a tank , the kids love it.a train ride to the zoo just to add some more fun.the seasons are so beautiful.the spring and summers are filled with colorful trees and flowers and the winters are like a hallmark card.i enjoy the smell of lavender and pine in the air.the mountain that surrounds the city is ever changing in colors and weather its so magical.We lived in other states before we moved to Albuquerque and we have all that we need from a city and more right here in the land of enchantment.[Comment on this Posting]
NO NO NO, getting out asap - 1/30/2014
I'll try to keep my review from being too scathing ... I moved here from Boulder, CO a few months ago and was looking for work out of state after not finding what I needed there. I managed to find a good job in my field down here and had never been here before, so it was a shot in the dark I won't pretend to know everything about abq but after 4 months here's what i've learned..After having lived in 8 states and 3 countries and have at least visitedmost US states, I gotta say NM and ABQ has it's quirks, for better or worse.
-Good Food, good number of restaurants
-Beautiful sunsets
-mild weather(winters been great)
-diverse culture
-now i'm stretching...
Prevalent racism.. it's real, as a well dressed younger professional-type white male, I get dirty looks wherever I go. Abq seems very cliquey and overall of everywhere i've lived seems to be the least friendly. There are lots of people here who grew up here and this is all they know and they'd rather just stick to their circles and not let new people in. I'm a very social guy and even with going out on occasion I don't feel like this is a good place to be the new guy in town, most people are pretty set in their ways and have their own circles.. I "feel" like an outsider here more than anywhere else i've lived and i've moved many times.
I've met very few people here who I can relate to. Everyone seems to be completely swept up in a massive party culture here and have no intention of getting out of here. Most people smoke, drink and rage out like most nights of the week. I think this is where "the land of entrapment" partly comes from.. people partying their lives away here instead of seeking out education, better opportunites etc. Being 26 I partied alot the past few yrs and am not judging anyone, I still go to some bars here and stuff but the amount of people who have nothing in their life but getting high and f***ed up is astounding, lots of people i've met here that could have been friends but getting too high or whatever to do anything but sleep.
I've never seen so many tattoos, I have several myself but i'm talking about neck and face tattoos, i've never lived in a place where i've seen so many like on the regular basis, connected to the employment issues? well maybe at least partially.. there are an incredible amount of people living off uncle sam here ijs.
Smoke shops, mother of god i've never seen so many.. again nothing against smoking but promoting the party culture is a problem here, it says alot about the kind of people the city will produce. The liquor stores are packed at most times of day..I honestly wasn't familiar with many states that sold liquor at gas stations, grocery stores etc and I don't think that helps that culture i'm talking about.
Stupid people..I guess it's a stereotype for New Mexicans to be poorly educated and everything but lord have mercy. I meet tons of people(mostly hispanic) who have horrible vocabulary, close minded, ghetto don't know anything about the world beyond Abq. I've never heard the word "mines", ever, as in "that is mines" .. I die everytime lol. I'm in school right now and have seen a ton of local students who I don't know how they made it that far, kudos to them for getting education though. One of my teachers is honest to god the worst teacher i've ever had in terms of her knowledge and grammar usage.
The best word I can use for this city is a word I hate.. "Ratchet". I actually met a pretty cool chick recently but she turned out to be ghetto AF.. all her friends thugs, swaggots, Cholos and people who generally want nothing out of life. She tried to get me to pay for every single thing in a few dates, turned out she had no direction in life and was a leech. never returned my calls or anything after passing out from smoking too much, typical Abq. If you are a single white guy who likes Latinas like me, good luck, most are not open minded.. most are ratchet, twerking hos nd only love the Cholo, gangbanger types..earrings, neck tattoos, shaved head, a typical look here, just being real about it.. there is a certain culture that exists here nowhere else i've seen. Also very few good looking women in general, i've heard that before about abq.
Bad drivers, i've seen 2 intersection related accidents and several near misses.. every state says they have bad drivers but I see a ton of it here..people not paying attention and lots of swerving drivers too.. top DWI state I hear and it's not hard to see why.
I don't think this is a place you want to be if you are white. I hope that doesn't offend anyone but I mean it. I've had many friends all over the world of diff cultures but there is something about Abq where the hispanics here act like they own the place and treat you like a true outsider, I feel very unwelcome.
I'm trying to be open minded about this place, really am.. I grew up in NY and know all about unfriendly people but damn.. unless something really blows my mind here i'm gonna finish up some school and get out of here in a year or two.
In summary, just feels like a trap here.. too many people doing nothing but pissing their lives away, poorly educated and lack of resources, discrimination is high if you are not hispanic and/or look/speak educated, professional etc. I like the sunsets, weather, some good food here and there, there are some opportunities for medical professionals here which I am and also research with Sandia Labs and some other high tech ventures.. but this is a place is clearly a place to visit not live imho.
Other places i've lived that i'm kind of comparing against:
Albuquerque, NM 4.5/10
Boulder, CO 8/10
Colorado Springs, CO 9/10
Ogden/Salt Lake City, UT 7/10
Syracuse, NY 7/10
Albany, NY 6/10
Lancaster/Lebanon, PA 7/10
Reading, PA 4/10

Not good !! - 1/7/2014
This city has no real economy much like the total state. There are far more takers than makers so many are on welfare. The workforce is very uneducated with only 50% graduating high school. People here are very white trash like. Totally no good looking women - totally. Worst drivers in the US. School system is terrible. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE !!!! [Comment on this Posting]
Albuquerque political environment - 12/25/2013
Albuquerque politics: Like the U.S. at large, the political divide is close to even. There are strong communitarian and individualistic views and impulses evident throughout, often in interesting combinations. The pioneer/rancher ethos is strong (which has both libertarian and communitarian streaks), along with Native American, intellectual, and humanist perspectives. There are noisy wing nuts on both sides, but more people seem relatively moderate politically. There's a large Air Force base and sizable active duty and National Guard populations. It's a generally pro gun area, though many anti-gun people are also present.[Comment on this Posting]
Mediocre public education -- a few decent private - 12/25/2013
Albuquerque education: Public schools are so-so, and of inconsistent quality. We've not had children in the school system, but one of us volunteers with elementary reading tutoring and sees the damaging effects of several interacting factors: conservatives' relentless campaigns to vilify teachers and undercut real education, poorly managed schools at the system level, and a significant amount of parental incompetence (from an educational perspective). And yes, there are some (a minority of) unqualified teachers who need to be retrained or removed. There are a lot of poor, undereducated parents who don't know how to best help their children learn. It's a toxic mix of factors conspiring against effective public schools. Even so, there are pockets of excellence, though these tend not to be rewarded or reinforced and are difficult to maintain. There are a few good private schools in the area, but only a couple that are secular. Well educated parents who have the ability and time to oversee their kids' learning will be okay. Others' children may suffer inferior educations.
University of New Mexico is here, with a reputation ranging from so-so to superior, depending on academic program. UNM has a reputation for bleeding off too much of its budget to a too-large cadre of overpaid, under-performing administrators. It also has a reputation for its maddening bureaucratic processes and unhelpful lower-and-mid level administrative personnel. I've heard many disturbing stories of staff being blatantly rude and dismissive of students seeking to sign up for classes, change schedules, or take other simple administrative actions. UNM does offer a robust continuing education program that gets much better reviews.
CNM, the local community college, is typical of that kind of school. It's more affordable than UNM, but has fewer programs.
Because there's a large military community, there are a lot of other national universities and colleges (U. of Phoenix, National U., etc.) with physical presence. If you want an education and can afford it, you can get it. [Comment on this Posting]
Crime and enforcement - 12/25/2013
Albuquerque crime: There's a good bit of property crime, mainly vehicle thefts and vandalism, but a lot of break ins. Violent crime is moderate-to-low in our vicinity. Crimes tend to be concentrated to particular areas. A bit of research before choosing a neighborhood will greatly improve your odds of a peaceful life here. The state and metro police seem to have been in relative disarray for a long time. Both have trouble attracting and retaining quality officers. There have been more than a few high-profile cases of police misbehavior that have cost taxpayers millions in lawsuits. In short, law enforcement appears be less professional and effective than needed. There's a sense that some officers are cavalier and abusive, leading to a lack of trust from the public. (One acquaintance recently showed me statistics indicating Albuquerque rates significantly higher for political corruption than does Mexico City!) On the other hand, it is often unclear what officers are supposed to do -- what is appropriate and legal -- in various situations. For example, when is it appropriate to use a firearm? When to engage in high-speed pursuit? These issues seem to lack legal and policy clarity and are made more difficult by ceaseless sensationalized media coverage. Better law enforcement will require both better (more qualified, more ethical) officers and clarity of laws and LE policies. And getting more and better cops means paying them more (as with teachers, etc.).[Comment on this Posting]
Good location for climate and outdoor activities, - 12/25/2013
Albuquerque climate and recreation: Albuquerque has a moderate climate with lots of sunny days. It's a great place for year-round outdoor activities, assuming you are one of the few who does not have allergic reactions to the incredible volumns of pollen that swirl about 10 months of the year. I never had serious allergy problems until moving here--and I've lived all over, including Europe and Asia. I recommend renting for a full year before buying here. Make sure you aren't afflicted by allergies if you're thinking to stay long term. The other negative, with respect to outdoor activities, is the bike, motorcycle, and pedestrian unfriendly roads. Many drivers are reckless, under the influence, impaired, or simply too selfish to share the roads with others. Drivers routinely and flagrantly run red lights and stop signs. Cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists are maimed and killed regularly. There's also a huge problem with drunk/doped drivers. There are a few nice paved paths, but few of any meaningful length that don't cross roads. There are lots of good unpaved trails in the mountains and foothills, for both bikes and hikers. There's a snow ski area on the mountain at the east boundary of the city, and another near Santa Fe (1+ hour drive), and Red River and Taos farther north. There's great hiking and camping, and a fair amount of fishing, across the state.
Albuquerque culture: There's a good bit of cultural variety here to keep things interesting. It's not like in a major city, but many cultures have a presence. You can find most kinds of food. There are a variety of festivals. I would like to see more cultural and racial variety, but it's getting there slowly.[Comment on this Posting]


text: Minn Kota has unveiled a breakthrough innovation in trolling-motor technology with its wireless i-Pilot control system. i-Pilot integrates GPS into Riptide ST or SP bow-mount motors to navigate and position the boat. Anglers can program the record-a-track feature to store as many as three tracks measuring up to two miles long for retracing or a later return trip. The Spot-Lock mode works like an electronic anchor, holding the boat in place. If the boat drifts more than five feet away, the i-Pilot brings it back, correcting for wind, waves, current and drift. Up to three Spot-Lock locations may be stored for revisits. i-Pilot also offers Cruise Control to maintain real-time boat speed in 1/10 mph increments and Advanced AutoPilot, which uses a series of waypoints to maintain a true heading. i-Pilot comes as an add-on to new or current STs and SPs; cost is $399.99.

Could any amount of money erase the pain caused by infidelity?
Woman's Day recently polled readers on a touchy issue: "Would you stay if your husband cheated?" Answers last time we checked: yes, 35%; no, 65%. "Maybe" or "It depends" were not options.
The ladies have taken a stand. But what if someone sweetened the pot? What if you were offered money -- millions of dollars, let's say -- to stay with a cheater?
Uncle Sam may help foot the bill for your next appliance purchase.
The "Cash for Clunkers" program earlier this year got tons of press. But that's not the only program Uncle Sam has cooking that encourages you to toss out one energy-guzzler and buy something new and more efficient.
A Cash- for-Clunkers program for appliances is now starting to unfold nationwide. Again, the idea is rebates of up to $200, perhaps more, to entice Americans to replace old, energy-hogging appliances with new Energy Star ones.

Record low mortgage rates and a federal tax credit make this a good time to buy for some people.
If you can afford it, there has never been a better time to buy a house, especially if you qualify for the homebuyer tax credit of up to $8,000. But should you buy now?
Mortgage rates hit 4.71% for a 30-year loan this week, the lowest since Freddie Mac began keeping track in 1971. Home prices are down nationwide, more than 50% in some former boom areas, such as parts of Florida and California.
Waiting for prices to drop further could be a false economy. A $200,000 loan at 6% and $180,000 loan at 5% cost about the same. (Run the numbers yourself.)
Recession turns more people into semi-vegetarians, which may be healthier.
It's no surprise that people are eating less meat during the recession.
The late Gourmet magazine published a story earlier this year about recession "flexitarians" -- semi-vegetarians who eat meat occasionally.
The magazine noted that meat is the most expensive thing Americans eat, and reported a survey by the American Meat Institute that found that 51% of shoppers have changed their meat purchasing habits because of the economy.
That means there is a lot of surplus meat around, and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture has proposed the recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, get increased benefits with the added benefits card good only for specified dairy, poultry and pork products. The proposal also calls for the government to buy up some meat products and distribute them to school lunch programs or food banks.
Consumer Reports survey finds dissatisfaction with high prices as well.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Consumer Reports' most recent annual survey of more than 50,000 readers found that only 54% of respondents were completely or very satisfied with their cell phone service.
Despite "smarter phones," more-flexible plans, and faster wireless networks, cell service continues to be among the lower-rated of all the services that Consumer Reports evaluates. The full report, which includes carrier ratings in 26 cities, is featured in the January 2010 issue of Consumer Reports.
The survey also showed that almost two-thirds of respondents had at least one major complaint. About one in five readers cited high prices as their top complaint, which was more than any other annoyance.
"America is in love with the cell phone, but they are lukewarm about cell-phone phone service," said Paul Reynolds, electronics editor at Consumer Reports. "They're especially concerned about its cost in these tight economic times."
Service ratings
Verizon, the nation's largest wireless carrier, was above average in every attribute, including customer support, voice connectivity and data service. It has the biggest network in the industry, but it tends to be costly.
Here are 6 reasons why people avoid thrift shops -- and arguments against all of them.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Recently I conducted a quiet poll among friends and family concerning whether or not they shop at thrift stores. I received a few "yes" answers, but a surprisingly large number of "no" answers. Without arguing about the reasons, I also asked them why they don't shop at thrift stores and I found that there were six common answers.
- Bing: Best thrift store finds
Here are those six reasons, and I'll argue why they're completely false.
Thrift store stuff is dirty.
You can lighten any meal with these cheap and easy solutions.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
When it comes to healthy cooking, one of the greatest skills a body can master is lightening up her favorite recipes. You're reducing fat and calories, which is good for your waistline, but at the same time you never feel deprived because you're always eating what you like. You don't need pricey ingredients either, and after a while, you won't need to consult any guides. You can lighten any dish straight off the top of your head.
Below then, are 10 strategies to get you started. Every single tip comes from personal experience (including, unfortunately, the fat-free cheese warning). Use them alone or in combination with one another for even healthier meals.
- Bing: More low-fat recipes
One caveat: These suggestions don't apply to baked goods, since many baking recipes rely on precise ingredient quantities for flavor and structure. I'm not yet comfortable enough with my skillz to mess with them.
Cut back on cooking fat. Whenever I'm trying to lighten an existing recipe, the first thing I look at is the prescribed amount of cooking fat. And almost without fail, most dishes ask for way too much.
Stores are in the catbird seat, even rejecting clothes that haven't been worn.
So many people are selling used or unworn and unwanted clothing that resale shops can be picky, rejecting even the priciest, most fashionable items if they're not a good fit for the store, The Wall Street Journal reports. When resale shops do buy, the price may be shockingly low.
"Even the really, really great stuff that's in really great condition, they didn't even accept it," Ally Peet told the Journal after a Plato's Closet in Utah turned thumbs down on her Dior and Juicy Couture apparel. "They said (the brands) wouldn't sell well here."
Resale shops are part of the triumvirate of used clothing depositories, which includes thrift stores and consignment shops. All are doing a booming business as people look for highly discounted apparel. Reportedly teens are among their best customers.
The WSJ offers some tips if you want to successfully sell your clothing items to a resale shop:

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Museum of Art recently announced that it has commissioned artist Kim Beck to create the next site-specific installation for The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres.
Premiering June 22, "NOTICE: A Flock of Signs" will be the park's 11th installation since its opening in June 2010, joining site-specific works by Alfredo Jaar, Jeppe Hein, Kendall Buster, and Andrea Zittel, among others.
Located on 100 acres of land that includes untamed woodlands, wetlands, a lake, and meadows adjacent to the museum, the art and nature park is one of the largest museum art parks in the country and one of only a few to feature the ongoing commission of temporary, site-responsive artworks. In Kim Beck's "NOTICE: A Flock of Signs," park visitors will discover groups of signs crowded along landscape pathways. Clusters of signs will be sited in several areas throughout the park, with the density and abundance in each area creating surprising, nonsensical landscapes, reminiscent of the fantasy world of Dr. Seuss, in an otherwise serene nature preserve.
"'NOTICE: A Flock of Signs' will offer yet another playful experience in the ever popular Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park," Dr. Charles L. Venable, The Melvin & Bren Simon director and CEO of the IMA, said in a press release. "Kim Beck's installation will take visitors down the rabbit hole as they find new ways to discover the park."
Unlike signage typically used to guide and inform, Beck's signs will deliberately perplex, misdirect, and even contradict one another. A hyper-informative, look-at-me garden folly, "NOTICE: A Flock of Signs" will elevate the everyday - the paths, trees, flora, and traces of fauna. Additionally, the signs will play on official signage used for safety and land use, but will embrace a handmade aesthetic and experiment with variations of scale and perspective. The project playfully addresses conventional uses of signage and explanatory text in art museums and formal gardens, and provides a counterpoint to the more directed visitor experience inside the museum. Beck's intervention in the park will also emphasize the tension between what is considered "natural" or "constructed" geography within the sculpture park experience.
"Kim Beck's 'NOTICE: A Flock of Signs' cleverly calls out how absurd and contrived wayfinding can be in many public spaces," said Sarah Urist Green, curator of contemporary art at the IMA. "While museum signage is often designed to be discreet, Beck's signs instead loudly announce their presence - taking on an almost human-like character as they descend on 100 Acres in flocks to alert passersby to seemingly inconsequential aspects of the landscape."
Marking the first week of summer, the IMA will premiere "NOTICE: A Flock of Signs" as part of its annual Summer Solstice Celebration beginning at 6:30 p.m. June 22 in the art and nature park. The event will include NOTICE-related art-making and signage projects for all ages, music by the Chicago Afrobeat Project, and activities curated by Heidi Fledderjohn. This free event occurs rain or shine.
The IMA is at 4000 Michigan Road. For more information, call 923-1331 or visit the website at www.imamuseum.org.

With the 24th pick in the 2011 NHL Draft which was obtained from the Detroit Red Wings, the Ottawa Senators select Matt Puempel, a left winger from the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League.
Puempel, ranked the 28th North American skater in the final rankings from Central Scouting, has been a phenomenal two-year career on a horrible team in the OHL, the Petes. He put up 69 points in 2010-11, a year after being named the OHL's Rookie of the Year in 2009-10. He's a bit of a rarity in the top portion of this year's draft in that he's more of a pure goal scorer than a well-rounded player.
Matchsticks & Gasoline writes that Puempel doesn't want to be labeled as a one-dimensional player, but he has some work to do on his defensive game before that becomes a reality.
Read more on Matt Puempel at our Ottawa Senators blog, Silver Seven.

Well I did it! I had to try a few different types of things tied around the bottle before I got it to work. I ended up using tshirt material and it worked like a charm.
The candle helped a ton and most tutorials don't mention a candle so I'll be recommending this to others!

My son's fitness trainer had a little chat with him last week about his nutritional needs and how best to meet them. My son is growing taller but is still lacking in the "cushioning" category – i.e. he's all lean body mass with very few physical reserves or extra fat on his frame. His tennis coach (and his mother!) thinks he needs to bulk up a bit in order to have enough stamina to withstand the physical demands of competing in the Boys 18s.
The trainer told him, based on his height and More >

Great Information
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 22/02/2011 - 00:03.
Knowing you guys are doing all you can to stop this. I would like to thank you for this information, and now consider my eyes open. Low grade gear I consider to be a bit uncommon, and those companies usually doesn't last long in this market, and replicas seem relatively new. I have changed my purchasing practices when it comes to climbing gear... and not just Petzl... as I am sure other companies have similar counter fitting problems. Happy to learn that my primary gear provider has been certified... a fact that might have been overlooked were it not for Petzl's notice. You guys ever going to make cam's?

SALEM — Police are investigating a reported sexual assault at the Red Roof Inn, but the victim and suspect aren't being very cooperative, Deputy police Chief Shawn Patten said yesterday.
Early Wednesday morning, a woman called police and said she had been kidnapped, sexually assaulted and restrained in a hotel room for two days, Patten said.
"There is some question as to the validity of the complaint," he said. "It appears to be a prostitute/john situation, but the victim is now uncooperative."
Police arrested Raul Rivera, 48, of Salem and first charged him with criminal restraint and felonious sexual assault.
Initially, the victim told police Rivera was her boyfriend, Patten said.
"During the course of the investigation, we learned otherwise," he said.
Then the victim started changing her story.
"We started questioning her about inconsistencies in story, then she became less cooperative," Patten said.
Rivera has been uncooperative throughout, he added.
When officers arrived at the hotel, located just off South Policy Street, Rivera was "screaming at the victim and threatening to beat her," Patten said.
He was taken into custody and charged.
But there could be more charges.
The female victim was taken to Parkland Medical Center for treatment.
The investigation into the sexual assault continues. In the meantime, Rivera is free on $2,500 personal recognizance.
He is charged with criminal threatening, a misdemeanor, and criminal restraint, a Class B felony. The charges changed as the victim's story did and police gathered evidence.
They executed a search warrant on the hotel room.
"There was evidence of sexual relations, but the question remains whether it was consensual," Patten said. "There was no evidence of physical beating."
After police interviewed the victim and Rivera, the story took a different turn.
"There's some question about payment," Patten said.
There also are questions about the victim's claims, he said, particularly since Rivera left the hotel to go to work both days she claimed to be restrained there.
Rivera was arrested in November 2010, and charged with two counts of simple assault and criminal threatening in that case.
The victim two years ago, a 62-year-old woman who said she was Rivera's girlfriend, told police he had assaulted her several times. In that instance, the victim had visible injuries.
