Remember Me
This week, sixth-grade students at Fort Jennings Elementary took part in the "Rockets Away" 4-H program sponsored by the Ohio State University Extension in Putnam County. On Monday, teacher Jason Hedrick guided the students through classroom experiences learning launch time data, including velocity, miles per hour, height and experimenting with fin design. Students worked in teams of two building and launching their rockets on Friday. Readying themselves for the next launch is, from the left, Tyler Kahle and Hedrick. Hedrick said the record flight from past launches was 400 feet in the air and 11 seconds long. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

The new PRO850 Software from HM Electronics, Inc. (HME) is designed to help users get the most out of their PRO850 system with much less effort and time.
It features a setup "wizard" that efficiently guides a user through the PRO850 UHF Synthesized Wireless Intercom system configuration process and expedites the setup process.
"Our goal is to create a software that will make it as easy as possible for our customers to do their jobs," says J. Michael Hughes, vice president and general manager of HME's professional audio division. "Users can easily learn how to configure the PRO850 Wireless System for their specific application."
HME's new software also enables the user to configure the PRO850 System online or offline–making it more convenient for users to work at a remote location if needed. Additionally, the setup wizard features help buttons on each screen that link to the appropriate sections of the new HTML system to provide the user further technical assistance.
Many of the ideas for the advanced features for the upgrade came directly from users–through a special "Power User" forum hosted by HME and its exclusive affiliate, Audio Specialties Group (ASG). The forum's facilitator Robert Nudo, managing director from ASG solicited input from many sound professionals in the making of the Version 3.0 Software.

Wear the right socks.
Warm up inside before you head out.Your feet will obviously be the coldest at the beginning of your run. To avoid that uncomfortable feeling for your first mile or so, try marching or slowly jogging in place for a few minutes inside before you head out. If you're at a race, you can do that same thing at the race start. Keep flexing your feet or jog in place, on your toes, to keep the blood flowing to your feet.
Use two pairs of socks.If it's really cold, you may need to wear two pairs of socks –- one thinner (synthetic material) pair closest to your feet and a thicker (wool) pair over them. The one caveat for this strategy is that you have to be careful that your running shoes still fit properly with the extra layer. You may want to purchase another pair of running shoes that are a 1/2 size bigger than regular running shoes, so you have some extra room. To help prevent your feet from sweating too much, spray anti-perspirant on them before you put your socks on.
Put hand warmers in your running shoes.Some runners on the team that I coach swear by Grabber Hand Warmers for really cold days. They're easy to use: Just take them out of the package and put them inside your sock, on top of your toes. Once your feet warm up, you can take them out so you don't overheat.
Try to avoid puddles, slush, and snow.
This may sound like common sense, but steer clear of wet ground. It may seem like fun to run in the snow for a little while, but your feet will get wet and cold quickly.
Choose the right shoes.For cold weather running, look for a running shoe with as little mesh as possible, since that's where the cold wind or water will get through to chill your feet. If you can't avoid running in the snow or slush, you may want to think about buying trail running shoes, which are somewhat water-proof and will give you a little more traction in the snow.

Wear a hat.This may sound strange as a cold feet prevention tip, but you can lose as much as 10% of your heat from your head. So, in order to help keep the rest of your body warm, you need to make sure your head is covered. Wear a wool or synthetic-blend hat that will wick away sweat.

I'm currently struggling with bad skin with loads of red marks and dry patches, as well as scars in the process of healing, a complete mess.
Been trying liquid foundation applied with fingertips and all it does is highlight the imperfections and leave a cakey flakey mess behind.
I like this powder because it's buildable and it doesn't cling to the bad skin. It's perfect for oily shiny skin, although it wouldn't work on its own. I used it as a second layer of foundation/concealer on top of a light coat of BB cream (Dr Jarts Regenerating) and it worked out pretty well. It's not on sale in the shops anymore in the UK, and I had it stashed away (actually I bought two a couple of years ago). I only have one at hand and quite worried I misplaced the other one, but no matter, it's still on sale on eBay, so I think I'll be repurchasing just in case. I'm not sure if Revlon also does a Mineral Colorstay concealer but it would be brilliant.

If anyone out there should be looking for a replacement for this discontinued product, I have found Annabelle CC Colour Control Pressed Powder to be almost the same. Unfortunately it's only available in Canada. I searched religiously to find a replacement by studying ingredients, and its taken around 2 years to get it. The ingredients are very similar, as is the product, except Annabelles is obviously pressed. It's very light but smooths out pores and virtually undetectable when on :)
Worst packaging ever makes rating the actual product difficult. To get product out you have to shake it around and then a little comes out and you have to use the automatic brush with it which is small and scratch. Its convenient for travel and actual product isnt horrible, but the packaging is just bad. Some people here mentioned decanting it, but i do not know how. When i do use this which is rare, i use it lightly for setting and its not bad for that.
First off, the packaging is absolutely horrible! The way they've made the bottle means that you pretty much have you use the brush they include, unless you decant it (like I did). The well is super small, so it's hard to get a decently big brush into it, and the product doesn't come out unless you turn it upside down and really shake. It wouldn't be a huge deal, except that the brush they include in the lid is horrible. Scratchy and rather small, not good for foundation at all. The twisty motion doesn't bring up much product, either, so you do have to do the shaking thing again.
The product itself is just okay. Matte finish, no sparkles, decent coverage. Not very long lasting, and with my oily face, it tends to go patchy at the end of the day--that is, if it's still on my face. Overall, not worth the money, IMO.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't like this product at all because you have to use TONS to get even a small amount of coverage, and then it's extremely light coverage. Not worth it. What's the point if this product doesn't do anything? Try some of the other Revlon foundations. I returned it and won't buy again.
I thought this stuff was horribly gluggy and a very poor coverage makeup. and the choice of shades wasnt good either, there was no colour suitable for very fair skin..
More reviews by ForTheMemories
I have red acne scars on my cheeks as well as white scars that are slightly indented on my forehead from a car accident. This product seemed to amplify the redness of my acne scars and fill in and amplify the scars on my forhead. I do not recommend this product for people with scars.
I can't believe the bad reviews of this product. I've been using it for like 4-5 years and I love it so much. I'm REALLY hoping it hasn't been discontinued as some people have suggested on here, because I am going to be in a whole lot of trouble if it has been. At the moment I already have 3 jars or something, but it's so good. Reviewers mostly have the same problems: cakiness, difficulty applying, and the like. I'll share what I do because I get compliments on my makeup and also because when I first got the product, it took experimentation for me.
1) Mix some of the product with a bit of moisturiser. I use oil-free sensitive stuff, but any that suits your skin would probably work (when I first started using this foundation, I put the moisturiser without any power in it on the skin and then brushed the powder on. Don't do that, because doing it this way works better)
2) Dab your brush into the mixture of moisturiser with foundation (don't use the brush provided--I used to do that and it's too small and short to work well. Use a large blush brush, a kabuki brush, or the great airbrush brush by Physicians Formula) and spread the product over your face (also your neck if you want/need to)
3) Rub the product in with the brush, and when that's been done and it's absorbed into the skin, either rub the brush dry with a towel or get another brush. Pour a little bit of powder on a piece of paper and dab the brush in that, then tap it off. Go over your face to build the coverage as much as you need.
4) Apply the rest of your makeup (don't worry--I don't use waterproof mascara and the next step doesn't make it run or smudge)
5) With your hair covered with a towel, hold a can of spray water (I use Avene. Evian also makes one, and a few years ago I also found a spray bottle of water worked) as far away as possible and evenly mist your face. Allow it to dry.
No cakey makeup, no crappy application! It works every time for me. The downside to this product is that it has bismuth, which I've heard is not good for you. I don't really know much about that, and this has been a pretty important product for me, so for now, I'm just going to ignore that. Also, be careful with traveling if you don't keep the plug that comes with the product, because if the lid slips off (and I'm pretty sure it has for me before), you will have a huge mess on your hands.

More reviews by clumpedmascara
I can't find this anymore :( All I see now is the Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup, which does not work for me!
This didn't cover EVERYTHING...but gave good enough coverage for me, and looked very natural :) It's pink undertoned, but blended so well! I have yellow/olive undertones and this still worked for me. Breakouts weren't a problem w/ this, and it really controlled my oily skin :) This lasted a very long time, I didn't have to reapply! A little really goes a long way too...the price is kind of high imo, but not a lot of powder is needed so it lasts for a good while!
The only things I didn't like were that it's pink undertoned. It does blend well...but I can't put on as much, or else the color will be too off. The brush isn't useful, & I didn't love the packaging. Still a great foundation though!
I would for sure by this again! If I could find it again...
This is a nice light/medium coverage mineral foundation. I don't have particularly troublesome skin, so the coverage is perfect for me. I use it everyday to set my concealer and buff into my t-zone. If I feel like the extra effort I apply over my cheeks as well, and it does a good job at neutralizing any slight unevenness without looking like I'm even wearing makeup.
If I wear foundation (Rimmel Stay Matte), I use this over the top as a setting powder: it not only sets the foundation, but provides just an extra layer of coverage and really does make my skin look flawless WITHOUT looking cakey at all.
The only con, as others have mentioned, (and yes, it is big enough that I've taken a lippy off my rating) is the packaging. The brush is way too small to be functional, not particularly soft, and sheds. I still use it when I don't have anything else, but it's not ideal. My lid cracked a while ago(I don't know why - I haven't dropped it or anything) and so I have to be very careful when screwing it shut, so that's also annoying.
I'm probably not going to repurchase (have a feeling it's being discontinued anyway), but that doesn't mean I don't like this foundation - I do!

Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Proper Nutrition Colostrum 80/40 Hyperimmune Colostrum 500 mg. - 90 Capsules
Proper Nutrition - Colostrum 80/40 Hyperimmune Colostrum is specially prepared through their advanced techniques to remove the casein and lactose and carefully tested to confirm that the final product contains less then 1% casein and less than 1% lactose. The concentrated colostrum provides a minimum of 40% IgG, the principal immune factor found in colostrum, and that's 40% by total dry weight, making Colostrum 80/40 the most potent immune-boosting colostrum available. Commitment to QualityThe bovine colostrum powder used in Proper Nutrition products is produced from pure bovine-origin colostrum liquid collected from controlled, healthy Grade A dairy herds. These dairy herds are of U.S. origin and are fed diets free of animal products, antibiotics and hormones. Proper Nutrition does not use colostrum from European or New Zealand sources, and BSE has never been detected in the U.S. PNI's colostrum ingredient is produced in cooperation with La Belle, Inc., in state-of-the-art facilities located in Washington and California and registered with both the California and Washington State Licensing Divisions as food processing facilities. These production facilities meet the requirements of the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, using GMP and HACCP procedures. They are also registered USDA establishments for the preparation of veterinary biological (pharmaceutical) products.
All incoming colostrum liquid is quality control checked for pH, total solids, and specific gravity. This Q.C. check assures that only the best liquid colostrum is used to produce the spray-dried powders.
High quality colostrum contains a variety of active immunoglobulins and antibodies for many pathogens that affect all mammals. The active antibodies for Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium spp., and Staphylococcus spp. have been identified. The activity of these antibodies and antiviral agents has been confirmed using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
The immunoglobulin activity of colostrum in Proper Nutrition products is measured using the latest Radial Immuno Diffusion (RID) technology. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the principal antibody found in colostrum and includes the subclasses IgG1 and IgG2. IgG1 makes up approximately ninety-percent of the total IgG content in colostrum. IgM and IgA are also found in colostrum. IgM is the first class of antibodies to appear after an antigen invades the body. IgA is the next major class of immunoglobulins found in colostrum. IgA serves as a first line of defense against bacterial and viral antigens. IgA is transported across epithelial cells to be found in intestinal tract mucus, bronchial mucus, saliva and tears.
Every lot of colostrum used in Proper Nutrition products is assayed for IgG content, microbiological contamination (total plate count, coliforms, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and fungi), moisture, fat, protein, antibiotics, total carbohydrates, ash, bulk density, and scorched particle. Particle size testing is also included on every produced lot of colostrum used.
Colostrum Questions & Answers
What is colostrum?Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid secreted by mammalian mothers after giving birth. Colostrum acts to transfer valuable immune factors from the mother to the newborn. As our bodies age, we produce less of the immune factors needed to ward off disease and infection. Supplemental colostrum can help replenish these stores.
Why bovine (cow) colostrum?Research shows that bovine colostrum is not species specific and, therefore, is effective in humans. In fact, bovine colostrum contains many times more of the immune factors needed than human colostrum.Do the newborn calves receive all the colostrum they need?Yes, dairy cows produce abundantly more colostrum than a newborn calf can ingest. Dairy farmers know that the key to a healthy dairy herd begins with the calf consuming as much colostrum as possible. They use only the excess colostrum in our products.
Where does the colostrum liquid come from?Proper Nutrition works in cooperation with La Belle, Inc., a USDA-registered establishment for the preparation of veterinary biological (pharmaceutical) products. We collect the liquid colostrum from almost five thousand approved dairies and 2.2 million head of dairy cows in a four-state region, representing North America's largest supplier of colostrum, as well as one of the largest and most respected colostrum production facilities in the world.
What quality controls are in place?They have a complete GMP and HAACP program in place, which applies stringent guidelines to our collection dairies. All colostrum must be collected and placed into sanitized single use containers and immediately transferred to a freezer to maintain product activity and quality. Freezing colostrum at this point does not reduce its dietary benefits and is necessary to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. The colostrum liquid is thermally treated by our proprietary low-temperature pasteurization process, which has been reviewed and approved by state and federal agencies. Their low-nitrite emission, top-of-the-line spray-dryers have been specifically engineered to dry colostrum with a minimum of heat exposure, thus assuring high activity of vital immune factors. Request a list of tests and procedures used to insure safety and quality for more information regarding laboratory testing.
Should I be concerned about possible antibiotic or pesticide contamination?
No. All of their colostrum comes from U.S. dairies that are closely monitored to assure product quality. Pesticide contamination of Grade A dairy cattle feed is tightly regulated in the U.S. Pesticide contamination in colostrum from U.S. sources is less of a concern than promoted by importers of foreign colostrum products. The U.S. dairy industry is a model of safety and quality for the rest of the world. Antibiotic usage is also tightly monitored. Beta-lactams are not allowed in the human milk supply in the U.S. Under state law, they must demonstrate that their colostrum for the human market is beta-lactam (antibiotic) free.
What about Mad Cow Disease (BSE)?Proper Nutrition does not use colostrum from European or New Zealand sources, and BSE has never been detected in the U.S. Their dairies are tightly monitored, and the cattle that produce their colostrum liquid are never fed diets containing animal by-products, the known source of BSE contamination.
What is IgG?IgG is one of the five main classes of immunoglobulins (Ig) or antibodies that participate in immune function. It is an antibacterial, antitoxic, and antiviral protein, and is the only class of antibodies to transfer through the placenta. High concentrations of IgG are present in quality colostrum, like Colostrum 80/40, which is concentrated through the removal of fat, casein, and lactose to contain a minimum of 40% IgG by total dry weight. It is important to note that IgG is just one of many valuable immune factors supplied in supplemental colostrum.
I hear a lot about low-fat colostrum versus whole colostrum, what is the difference?Whole colostrum provides the added benefits of fat-soluble nutrients and vitamins that are reduced or lost with fat removal, like lipoproteins and vitamins A and D. The benefit of a low-fat colostrum is that gram per gram you get a higher percentage of immune factors in the concentrated colostrum. For example, Proper Nutrition's Whole Colostrum typically provides 15% IgG by total dry weight, while their Colostrum 80/40 is concentrated by the removal of fat, casein, and lactose, and provides a minimum of 40% IgG by total dry weight.
How does the potency of Proper Nutrition's colostrum compare with other products on the market?The immune potency of colostrum is often rated by IgG level, although many other important immune factors are also present in high-quality colostrum. Proper Nutrition always discloses its IgG content as a percentage of total dry weight. For example, Colostrum 80/40 provides a minimum of 40% IgG by total dry weight. Many colostrum manufacturers may claim 40% IgG, meaning that 40% of the total protein content is in the form of IgG (immunoglobulins are a type of protein). This can translate into as little as 20% IgG by total dry weight. Proper Nutrition can reach such a high IgG concentration only by removing the fat, casein, and lactose from their colostrum to produce what they call Colostrum 80/40.

The worst flu season in years is giving way to another highly contagious infection. It is a new strain of the norovirus, and so far, thousands of people across the country, including hundreds in our area, have been sickened.
This new strain of norovirus is sometimes called "stomach flu," but doctors say it's really a respiratory infection. Victims suffer severe diarrhea and vomiting with symptoms that could last up to three days.
It happened to Djana and Noah Morris of Northwest D.C. The mother and son are finally on the mend after a bout of the norovirus last week.
Djana says she thought it was food poisoning, but found out otherwise when the infection landed her in emergency room on the first night.
"There was just nausea, vomiting," she says. "It went on for about 12 hours and I wound up dehydrated."
Two days later, 13-year-old Noah got sick too.
"My stomach was bubbling a lot," he says. "I threw up a couple of times and I was just in the bed, my stomach really hurt."
What the Morrises had is what doctors say is a new strain of a highly contagious norovirus. It is called the Sydney strain because it started in Australia and has caused outbreaks around world. It spreads easily through direct contact at work, school, nursing homes or other enclosed areas.
Djana thinks that is how she got it.
"I'm a real estate agent, I'm shaking hands all day, and it's so easy to transmit," Djana says.
Symptoms include stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, chills, body ache and fatigue. The symptoms can show up suddenly from one to three days after exposure.
To avoid infection, doctors say wash your hands frequently to stop the spread of the virus. Wash fruit and vegetables carefully and disinfect areas when someone does get sick.
If you do come down with the stomach flu, doctors say drink plenty of liquids.
Young children and elderly adults have the highest risk for severe illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is too early to know if this new strain of norovirus will lead to more outbreaks.

Acid Reflux Disease (GERD) (cont.)
Acid Reflux (GERD) Home Remedies
In some cases symptoms may be relieved by changing habits, diet, and lifestyle. The following steps may reduce reflux.
Talk to your health care professional if you need tips on losing weight or quitting smoking.
Nonprescription (over-the-counter) remedies
Over-the-counter medications also may help relieve your symptoms. Check with your health care professional before trying any of these.
Antacids (Gaviscon, Maalox, Mylanta, and Tums): These are effective when taken 1 hour after meals and at bedtime because they neutralize acid already present.
Histamine-2 receptor blockers (H2-blockers) prevent acid production.

The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Acid Reflux (GERD):
GERD - Proton Pump Inhibitors
Heartburn symptoms caused by GERD are usually relieved by drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix, Nexium, Zegerid; however, sometimes they do not work well. Can you please describe your GERD symptoms that did not improve on PPIs? Did you find other treatments effective?

Ask any corporate executive the secret to success and there's a good chance you'll hear that the management team must work on the same goals using the same assumptions and facts -- with transparency to the CEO and board. Yet most companies don't work that way, setting the stage for missed opportunities, hidden problems, and political gaming that uses siloed data and its analysis as a departmental weapon rather than as an enterprise asset.
One way to get closer to the goal of a company that knows how it's really doing -- which means being fully transparent and working toward the same goals with the same assumptions and data -- is through the deployment of a CPM (corporate performance management) system. Such a system analyzes data related to business performance and presents it as a collection of KPIs (key performance indicators) aggregated into a "dashboard" of simple graphical readouts, using metaphors such as stoplights and gas gauges. From the dashboard, managers can drill down to study performance data in detail.
Performance can be anything important to company strategy: employee turnover and satisfaction; defect reduction in manufacturing; net profits on new business or product lines against expectations; and so on. What's key is that the company is measuring performance -- not merely process statistics -- and is gauging it against such metrics as goals, past performance, and competitive baselines. Furthermore, to understand the complete picture, senior managers are looking at these performance areas across the entire company, not just within specific functions or departments. Typically, department managers use CPM tools within their areas, but a CPM system "rolls up" information to give senior managers a broader view of enterprise performance.
"It helps you ask the right questions and validates that the data is based on a single version of the truth," says Graham Mackintosh, vice president of strategy and business development at BI provider Cognos.
Effective CPM systems also gather and crunch data in a more targeted way than conventional BI systems do, meaning that "we don't have to say, 'Gee, I wish we'd done this two weeks ago,' " says Dan McGowan, vice president of financial reporting and analysis at Southeast Corporate Federal Credit Union, which provides financial processing services to other credit unions.
Along with helping an enterprise manage itself more effectively, CPM can also help it meet regulatory requirements -- such as Sarbanes-Oxley -- that require the CEO and other senior managers to sign off on the truth of their disclosures and to disclose "material events" within 48 hours. "How can you report to what the laws require if you don't know what is happening?" asks Jonathan Hornby, practice director of performance management at analytics provider SAS.
Known by several names -- business performance management, corporate business management, enterprise performance management, and, in some circles, real-time BI -- CPM requires a strong underlying data architecture. That requirement is one reason most CPM providers are also BI, data-analytics, or ERP vendors, such as Applix, BusinessObjects, Cognos, Computer Associates' CleverPath division, CorVu, Hyperion, Lawson Software, Outlooksoft, SAS, and SRC Software. (Many other vendors use one of the "performance management" labels but offer analysis systems only for specific tasks such as financial, IT, or supplier management.)

Rag & bone's DIY project continues this fall with esteemed Korean actress, Mina Shin. Mina was given the same remit: to interpret rag & bone in her own personal way. The result is a collection of raw and candid images shot in her hotel and on the beach in Busan Korea. "I have never laughed and smiled in front of the camera like that," says Mina. "I went to Busan with my colleagues who are also my best friends, SaeYong Zo, who took the pictures, and DukHwa J., SeungHwan Lee who videotaped me. These guys were amazing to do the project with, and we had such a great time. He listened very carefully to what I wanted to show through this project, and also helped me to come up with great ideas, and the result I wanted."
Mina is shown wearing the Nordic tee in Heather Grey, cut off Short in Phoenix, the Juno Blouse and the Legging in Rust, among others. For more images of Mina, visit: www.rag-bone.com and http://ragandboneny.tumblr.com/

The food was good. The Venetian was much better than Aqua. We ate at the Brazilian steakhouse. It was very good. The buffet was just ok.
We had excellent weather so we could enjoy all of the ports. We did an ATV and cave tubing excursion in Belize. We booked with cave-tubing.com. I highly recommend this company. in Costa Maya we hung out at Tropicante. This was one of our best days. Steve the owner and his staff were great. In Cozumel we did the Royal Dolphin Swim. It was a blast.
The entertainment was pretty good. The highlights were Jocka and Maria, the Second City adult show and the Magician. I can't remember his name but he was very good.
The boat was in good condition and the staff was excellent. I was a bit disappointed with the music throughout the ship. It catered to an older audience. This was also the case for most of the activities. We have cruised Carnival a couple of times so that is my comparison,
Debarkation was a breeze. We carried off our own luggage. We were off the ship in about 15 minutes.

200,000 bottles of Motrin Infants' Drops recalled
McNeil Consumer Healthcare says about 200,000 bottles of Concentrated Motrin Infants' Drops are being voluntarily recalled due to a risk that they may contain tiny plastic particles.
The company says retailers are being asked to remove three lot numbers of Concentrated Motrin Infants' Drops
Original Berry Flavor in half-ounce bottles. The lot numbers are DCB3T01, DDB4R01 and DDB4S01.
Tiny plastic particles were discovered in a different lot during manufacturing. That lot was not released, and the particles were traced to a shipment of ibuprofen from a supplier, the company said.
The three recalled lots were made with the same batch of ibuprofen, the company said. Consumers with questions or who would like to request a refund may call the company at 1-877-414-7709.

Gravity doesn't change much day to day, and unlike a level, a
string can always reach far enough, no matter how tall the
wall. The only drawback is dealing with a tangled ball of
string, but with its retractable reel, the Plumb-Rite makes the
old-school, versatile plumb bob easier than ever to use. The
weight-adjustable reel includes an attached pin for hanging on
wood or drywalled surfaces, a magnet for steel surfaces, and a
recessed hook for hanging off nails or beams; plus, the
self-recoiling line extends to almost 15 feet. Best of all, it
fits in your toolbelt -- try that with your 6-foot level. The
Plumb-Rite sells for $35.
Installing flooring all day on your knees is tough enough
without having to drag your bucket of thinset along like a dog
on a leash. The five-caster Heavy-Duty Bucket Dolly glides
alongside, dutifully holding your adhesive bucket at any angle,
making the material easy to reach whether the bucket is full or
nearly empty. The cart's low-slung design is claimed to make
tip-overs a bad memory, and its 300-pound capacity and flat
outer ring make it useful for moving heavy tile and other items
around, too. The model 102-BD dolly has a list price of
Working outside in all types of weather is part of a builder's
reality. A bad fall on ice or snow can mean a minor injury, a
broken bone, or the end of your carpentry career. Yaktrax's
stretchy rubber restraints fit hundreds of ice-grabbing steel
coils over your shoes or boots, reducing the chance of injury
to your person or pride. The spikeless design comes in three
sizes and removes easily when you get a chance to get back
inside. Yaktrax are modeled after footwear used by sure-footed
Himalayan Sherpas, who probably have more experience than
anyone walking and working in bad weather. Yaktrax sell for
about $20.
Carrying a pocketknife should be required of everyone on the
job site. The Flash shines brightly in a world of humdrum
locking blades. It's not a switchblade, but its spring-assisted
blade opens much faster than a standard lock blade, and the
half-serrated edge is very sharp out of the box. It took me
awhile to get the hang of the single-handed opening technique,
but once that's mastered, the sturdy knife works well.

Reduced noise and easier servicing make remote-mounted
ventilation fans a good idea. The Whisper Line series is
available in four sizes, from 120 to 440 cfm, and has an
insulated, galvanized housing to reduce noise and resist
corrosion. The fans are rated to use between 36 and 132 watts
of electricity. Condenser motors, with permanently lubricated
bearings, provide maximum durability. The manufacturer says
that the fans are easy to install, can be used with a single or
multiple inlets, are rated for continuous duty, and feature a
thermal cutoff to protect the motor from overheating if a duct
or grill becomes obstructed. Prices run from $230 to
A new federal regulation prohibits suppliers from filling 20-
to 40-pound propane bottles not equipped with an OPD (overfill
prevention device). Plus, you may have to pay a disposal fee to
get rid of your obsolete bottle. Instead, for $20, you can
convert your old bottle into an air storage tank, perfect for
filling a flat or shooting a few nails. Or use it to increase
the storage capacity on your hotdog or pancake compressor when
running an extra gun. The Propane to Air adapter screws into
the tank's existing valve, allowing a charge from a standard
air chuck. The kit includes the adapter, a pressure gauge, and
a 5-foot air hose with tire chuck.
Hard-working hands frequently require some special attention,
especially in cold weather. When an Oregon pharmacist noticed
the condition of her father's cracked hands and feet, she set
about making a fragrance-free, water-based skin cream to get
her rancher dad's hands back in good working condition. Working
Hands Crème doesn't contain oil or lanolin, which can
make tools and materials tough to hold on to and can actually
aggravate cracked or chapped skin. Prices run from $3 to $9
depending on container size.
Working Hands Crème
Why build a deck that overlooks a great view, then clutter
that view with a busy railing? A Sheerview railing system has a
metal-reinforced PVC top and bottom rail, framing a sturdy,
tempered-glass panel. The 42-inch-high, UV-stabilized panels
come assembled from the manufacturer in 4-, 6-, and 8-foot
modules and sell for $120 per lineal foot.

A tape measure has a way of finding the deepest, darkest
recess of your tool pouch, then resisting easy retrieval. But
getting a grip on your tape measure could be as easy as
clipping a nylon Sidebuddy to your belt. The Sidebuddy can hold
tapes of up to 30 feet and can be placed anywhere on a tool
belt, so lefties needn't feel left out. Four smaller pockets
surround the tape, keeping pencils, nail sets, and other little
stuff handy. A big hole in the bottom of the holder makes
removal easier and keeps it from filling with job-site crud.
The Sidebuddy has a suggested retail price of $15.
The Morgan Co.
Handcrafted, textured glass could be the special touch that
your clients can't live without or the factor that
distinguishes your craftsmanship from the rest. Translucent,
three-dimensional UltraGlas is available in 12 colors and can
be ordered in virtually any color to match other decorating
styles or elements. The manufacturer suggests cabinet doors,
balustrades, fenestration, light fixtures, and countertops as
possible applications. With unlimited custom designs possible,
there should be enough options to make almost anyone happy.
Squiggle, linen, and ultraswirl are shown. Prices run from $50
to $200 per square foot, depending on color, pattern, and
Sometimes in tight situations, nuts and bolts just seem to
turn against you. In such times, a Pivot Head Ratchet Wrench
can get you in and out with grace. The unique flexing box-end
of this new combination wrench has a 72-tooth ratcheting design
that requires only 5 degrees of travel to turn a bolt, compared
to 30 degrees for a standard box-end wrench. You'll definitely
want one the next time you're tightening that 12-inch dowel
screw for the newel post. The fully polished wrenches are
available in standard and metric sizes; a set of four sells for
about $60.
Cooper Tools
Stainless-steel kitchen sinks are tough to get excited about,
but the Blanco Module could be an exception. Its integral
section of stainless-steel countertop and four-inch backsplash
eliminates the typical sink cutout, especially significant when
used with a natural stone countertop. The sink's 18-gauge
surgical-grade stainless steel is the highest quality available
and resists spotting and mineral deposits better than any other
type, according to the manufacturer. List price on the Module
is $1,690.
Garage doors are high-visibility items, and a cheap
stamped-steel door really doesn't do anything but detract from
an otherwise good-looking home. The Presidential carriage door
series offers all the convenience of a modern overhead door in
a better-looking package. The line features 1/2-inch-thick
paneling of western red cedar or hemlock in either a smooth or
rough-sawn finish, covering a heavy-duty door that's supported
on nylon ball-bearing rollers. Torsion springs, high-quality
hinges, and aircraft-grade cables assure a minimum of 10,000
cycles and smooth operation, according to the manufacturer. The
Grant style shown, clad in western red cedar with antique brass
hardware, lists for $4,668.
General American Door
The last time I was at the airport, I wondered why nobody had
made a toolbox in the style of those heavy-duty carry-ons that
airline employees have, but only a few days later this wheeled
chest came to my attention. The Metal Pro Chest has an aluminum
telescopic handle and 6-inch rubber wheels for portability. A
flat lid with a bungee-cord holder allows other toolboxes, or
your lunch, to be strapped on top. The chest has a large lower
storage compartment and a full-size tray for smaller tools and
parts. The lid is secured with two lockable metal draw catches.
The Metal Pro Chest sells for $69.
Stanley Works
Poor indoor air quality and fireplaces that won't draft are
common with today's tight houses. The Replenum, a combination
draft inducer, to keep exhaust gases moving up the chimney, and
heat-recovery ventilator, to provide filtered and heated fresh
air to the living space, promises to solve both problems at the
same time. Using heat that would otherwise be wasted up the
chimney, the Replenum circulates fresh outside air around a
heat exchanger and delivers it to the living space via an
integral blower. A separate fan inside the heat exchanger keeps
the exhaust gas going up the flue. Lighting a fire starts the
Replenum automatically; the unit shuts off when the fire is
extinguished. The product lists for $1,375; special pricing
programs are available for builders.
Duct-taping speaker wires to the walls may have worked in
college, but it's not the best option for the home theater in
your customer's suburban split-level. DeWire is a complete line
of flat, copper, conductor speaker wires that can easily be
painted or papered over, according to the company. The
paper-thin wires are protected inside a rugged polyester film,
and with wire sizes to 12 AWG, even the most discriminating
audiophile could be satisfied. The company's special
gold-plated connectors allow an easy transition to any type of
audio speaker. The company plans on expanding the product line
to include communication and low-voltage AC and DC cable in the
near future. Pricing starts at $1 per foot; the high-end
12-gauge wire sells for $5 per foot.
The days of driving in a nail to pull a diagonal chalk line or
to keep the hook from popping off the edge of the material are
over. The End-Mate's bigger teeth and swiveling action really
hold on better, no nails required. The gnarly teeth are more
likely to hang up the line on retrieval than a standard hook,
but a little fly-casting action will usually free it. The
End-Mate sells for $2.19.

Having a museum or gallery isn't just for tourists, but also for the residents of the city. Museums with rotating exhibitions, visiting exhibitions, these all bring locals to visit the city, and re-visit museums. Hence the reason that most museums outside of Ireland offer annual visitor passes and membership.
bjg: Your point has been noted, if you can add constructive discussion please do. But saying No, isn't an answer to the problem I think we are discussing here.
Funding, looking at how other cities fund large capital projects is important. The EU's European Regional Development Fund and National Lottery could be tapped, the EU part funded the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester. Corporate donations, and public fund raising is also possible. But rates are an obvious example, I think in the future local rates will fund visitors via airports. The cities paying for airlines per person to bring them passengers, not the other way around, like it is now. Once visitors start arriving in numbers, using a tourist tax similar to Seattle to fund further projects is a possibility.
Growing the population of Limerick City is key to the sustainability of it as a city, how is this done? The international brand of Limerick City is how it attracts FDI, picking Limerick over Galway or Dublin, or another European city.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear urges reason in the public reaction to the difficulties with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. He notes that in his state about 1,000 people a day are signing up for insurance, an indication that the ACA is not nearly as unpopular as Republicans want to think it is.
Indeed, in California and several other states the process for signing up has worked well. What Kentucky and California have in common is that they opted to run their own health care exchanges. But in most states in the South (read that: where the most vitriolic opponents of President Obama are) Republican governors and legislatures surrendered control of the exchanges through which uninsured people must buy insurance. Not interested, they said, not even if state-run exchanges would be able to offer people more choices, would likely be more efficient and would be more nimble at handling questions and problems.
Dont care. Let the feds do it all. Now thats nice public service for you.
Doubtless these Republicans also rubbed their hands together and figured that if there were problems with the exchanges, people would turn against the health care program and against the president who instigated it. In other words, by shirking their duty, as the GOP leadership in North Carolina did, they can score some political points.
What a dreadful line of reasoning. Theyre prepared to let the people theyre supposed to represent experience more complicated steps in getting health care in the name of making the president look bad.
For his part, the president rightly stepped up and expressed his own frustrations with the computer problems created by an overloadon federally run exchanges. He said some of the top tech people from around the country are tackling the problem. The president didnt try to shift the blame. He acknowledged the problem and promised to see that it is fixed.
And he defended the Affordable Care Act as more than a computer process, which it is. (Already, parents have been able to keep their children on their insurance until age 26, a help to young working people, and children with pre-existing conditions have been allowed to be covered by insurance they previously were denied. Those are developments that happened because of health care reform.) In addition, 20 million people have gone to the website and half a million have signed up for insurance.
States such as North Carolina that rejected a state-run exchange have to shoulder at least some of the blame for the rollout problems. The state would have gotten millions of dollars to help it with the exchange and could have shaped it to suit this state.
But make no mistake. The motivation for Republican opposition to health care reform, though it was passed by Congress and affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, is transparent.
The whole government shutdown and holdout on a routine raising of the nations debt ceiling was about Republican attempts to defund the advancement of the Affordable Care Act. They didnt like the law from the beginning, and they knew they couldnt pass legislation fair and square to undo it. So they put the nations very financial foundation at risk to repudiate President Obama any way they could.
No wonder, then, theyre cheering the difficulties with the initial phase of reform and signing people up for insurance. They fear, of course, that once reform is in place and running smoothly, they will never be able to do away with it.
Why? Because it will work and people will like it and wonder why it took so long to put something as sensible as the Affordable Care Act into place.
How sad that the peoples representatives in Washington would pull against something that could help and perhaps even save the lives of millions of Americans. If the opponents of reform cant explain that beyond just partisan politics, they will one day have to explain it to history.
As Kentucky Gov. Beshear predicted, "Most of these critics are going to end up with egg on their face. People are finding that I can get health insurance for the first time in my life that I can afford. Theyre going to look back at these folks after all the dust settles and say, You misled us.

From LeakyPedia
Draco Malfoy is a pure-blood wizard and the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the same year as Harry Potter and was sorted into Slytherin House.
[edit] Character Development
Draco Malfoy is a very complex character. He is introduced as a stuck up with superior attitude due to his pure-blood status. Like his father, he feels that only pure-bloods are worthy of belonging to the wizarding world and that Muggle-borns are a disgrace to the wizarding world. Throughout the first five books he maintains his arrogant attitude and teases and bullies Harry and his friends, including Ron, regarding his family's lack of money, Hermione, regarding her blood status, and Neville, regarding his lack of magical talent, among others.
Draco greatly develops in book six into more than simply a spoiled brat, after he is given the task of killing Albus Dumbledore. He spends most of his sixth year attempting to carry out his task in fear of Voldemort, when in truth his heart isn't truly in it. When he finally corners Dumbledore atop the Astronomy Tower, he is unable to kill him, and even lowers his wand in the end.
After that event, even though the Malfoys remain aligned with Voldemort, Draco does not cease to be hesitant and frightened and never displays any truly evil characteristics, except for purposes of self-preservation.
By the end of the series, Draco is never completely evil or wholly good; while he and Harry are no longer enemies, their relationship remains strained at best.
[edit] Appearances
[edit] First Book
In the first book, Harry first meets Draco in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions while he is being measured for a custom robe. In that meeting, Harry finds that he does not like him very much.[1]. They meet again on the train to Hogwarts where Draco warns Harry of associating himself with people like Ron Weasley and Rubeus Hagrid, and offers Harry his friendship, which Harry immediately rejects.[2]. He was Sorted into Slytherin House after the Sorting Hat had barely touched his head.[3]
Draco quickly becomes a favourite of Potions master, Professor Snape.[4] As the year goes on, Harry and Draco cross paths in class and meals, and Draco takes every opportunity to tease and insult Harry and his friends and attempts to get them in trouble. One such instance is when he steals Neville Longbottom's Remembrall and provokes Harry into trying to take it back, breaking the rules by flying on his own in the process. Draco's plan backfires when Harry, instead of getting in trouble, becomes the new Gryffindor House Seeker. He then challenges Harry to a wizard's duel at midnight in the Trophy Room, but instead of turning up, he informs the caretaker, Argus Filch, that Harry and his friends are out of bed after hours, in hopes of getting them expelled. This, again, does not work.[5] Later on in the year, Draco finds out that Rubeus Hagrid is keeping a dragon in his hut, and that Harry and his friends are attempting to smuggle it out of the castle.[6] In an attempt to catch them in the act, he is also caught out of bed after dark by Professor McGonagall, which costs his house 50 points and gets him sent to detention with Harry, Hermione, and Neville Longbottom. During said detention in the Forbidden Forest, after attempting to scare Neville by sneaking up behind him and startling him, he is paired up with Harry to search for an injured unicorn. After they encounter a creature drinking the unicorn's blood, Draco runs away in fright.[7]
[edit] Second Book
In the second book, Draco is seen versing Harry in Quidditch matches and duels. Draco seems to have got the position of Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch Team after his father bought the entire team top of the range Nimbus 2001 broomsticks. Draco is first seen at the bookstore, The Leaky Cauldron, in Diagon Alley. Draco also appears in a few classes and meals.
We get to see more of how Draco interacts with his friends when Harry and Ron take Polyjuice Potion to turn themselves into Crabbe and Goyle as they believed that Draco was the one behind the attacks. Draco was not the heir of Slytherin however.
[edit] Third Book
Draco is first seen when he talks to Harry about Sirius Black, and how if someone had done what Sirius supposedly did to Harry's parents to Draco's parents, then Draco wouldn't even be bothering with school. He, instead, would be out hunting down the man who was responsible for his parents' deaths.
During the first day in Care of Magical Creatures class, Draco makes a scene by complaining loudly about the books and the fact that Hagrid was teaching. During this class, Draco fails to listen and insults Buckbeak the hippogriff and his injured when Buckbeak slashes his arm with his talon. Draco, makes a show of rolling around and claiming he is dying. After his father finds out about his injury, he gets the ministry to hold a hearing on Buckbeak, who is then sentenced to death.
Draco is later seen getting slapped in the face by Hermione Granger. (The film however, shows a punch)
[edit] Fourth Book
Draco is seen primarily in classes and meals. He is first mentioned at the Quidditch World Cup where he and his father are guests of the Minister of Magic. He is later seen when Krum and the rest of the Durmstrangs sit at the Slytherin table, and Harry and Ron are jealous to see Malfoy talking to Krum. Throughout the Triwizard Championship, Draco is mentioned to be supporting Diggory (the REAL Hogwarts champion) and Krum.
[edit] Fifth Book
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Draco and Pansy become Slytherin house Prefects.
After a Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor, Draco insults the Weasley family, thus getting himself attacked by Fred, George and Harry. After the attack, Draco gets the twins and Harry banned from the Quidditch team.[8]
He joins the Inquisitorial Squad set up by Dolores Umbridge. Draco is insturmental in the revealing of Dumbledore's Army who practices in the room of requirement. [9]
When the members of the D.A flee, Draco earns Slytherin fifty house points for capturing Harry and several other students who he helps hold at wand point in Umbridge's office while she questions each of the DA members in turn.
He later tries to get revenge of Harry Potter after his Father is sent to Azkaban when the minister finds him in the ministry with Voldemort.
[edit] Sixth Book
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy is given a task by Lord Voldemort. The task is to murder Albus Dumbledore. Draco was given the Dark Mark sometime between the fifth and sixth book. We do not see him get the mark, but we see the mark towards the end of the sixth book.
Voldemort gave Draco the task of killing Dumbledore as a form of punishment because Lucius failed to retrieve the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Draco is seen much more in Half-Blood Prince than in any of the other books. Draco spends a lot of his time in the Room of Requirement, fixing a vanishing cabinet. Once the cabinet is fixed, Death Eaters, including Draco's aunt Bellatrix Lestrange, are brought through the cabinet by means of its twin in Borgin and Burkes' in Knockturn Alley. Draco, after cornering Dumbledore in the astronomy tower, is poised to kill Dumbledore, but is ultimately unable to do it. Draco cannot kill Dumbledore because he was clearly disturbed by the task he was given. Dumbledore even tells Draco not to kill him because Draco is no murderer.
Snape arrives, and after seeing that Draco cannot complete the task assigned to Draco by the Dark Lord, he carries out the murder. Snape is forced to kill Dumbledore because Snape made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa Malfoy (Draco's mother) to carry out the task assigned to Draco if Draco should not be able to go through with it.
If Snape had not killed Dumbledore, he would have died himself.
[edit] Seventh Book
Draco is rarely seen. We first see him in his home, Malfoy Manor, where Lord Voldemort has set up his headquarters. Draco and his parents (Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy) are clearly disturbed to have the Dark Lord in their home, but are unable to do anything about it. Draco witnesses the murder of his Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts, Charity Burbage, and the torture of Hermione Granger. Under the capture of Harry, Ron and Hermione at Malfoy Manor his is also asked of his afther to identify Harry, but seems reluctant. In the following fight his wand is won by Harry. Draco is also present in the Battle of Hogwarts where he neither fights with the Death Eaters nor with the Hogwarts students and teachers and villagers. Draco primarily gets in the way of Harry (Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle almost ruin Harry's chances of survival after Crabbe casts fiendfyre in the Room of Requirement and is ultimately killed himself) by constantly being saved from first fiendfyre and then Death Eaters who are trying to kill him. Draco's last appearance is in the epilogue, in which he is seen with receding hair and more prominent features than in his teenage years. He exchanges a curt nod with Harry. Draco had gone to Platform 9 3/4 with his wife, Astoria), and his eleven year old son, Scorpius. Scorpius is described as being a spitting image of an eleven year old Draco.
[edit] Portrayals Within Films
Draco Malfoy is portrayed in all eight the films by Tom Felton.
[edit] Characterisation
[edit] Outward Appearance
Draco is described as being very pale with silver-blonde hair and cold, grey eyes. Harry also describes Draco as having a face that only a mother could love. Draco's features are very pointed, and they are only enunciated with old age. He is described as having a gray tinge and large bags under his eyes in Half-Blood Prince from the stress he feels due to his Death Eater mission. Also in Half-Blood Prince, Draco gets a Dark Mark tattooed onto his left forearm. In the epilogue, he is described as having a receding hair line.
[edit] Personality
Draco holds himself in high regard. As a pure-blood wizard, he has a superior attitude and thinks he is better then half-bloods and muggle borns. Under all that though, it can be argued that Draco is full of fear. We never really find out if Draco agreed with the death eaters or not. It is believed that he accepted his mission to kill Dumbledore out of fear not respect, or sense of duty.
Draco is the ring leader of his class in the Slytherin house. He is mainly seen with Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Pansy Parkinson. He is hated by most of the other students in Hogwarts. He is a favored student of Snape as are all of the Slytherins.
[edit] Magical Accomplishments and Skills
Draco Malfoy is a reasonable Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch Team. When his aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange, teaches him Occlumency, Draco is sufficiently good to keep Snape (who is skilled in that area) out of his mind.
[edit] Possessions
[edit] Wand
Hawthorn and unicorn hair, 10 inches, reasonably pliant. Taken from him by Harry Potter in the spring of 1998.
After disarming Dumbledore in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, Draco becomes the owner of the Elder Wand. However, no one knows this and Draco never finds out.
[edit] Broomstick
A Nimbus 2001 broomstick that his father Lucius Malfoy buys for him (and the whole Slytherin quidditch team, as a bribe to get Draco on the team as seeker) in 1992.
[edit] Other
It is said that Draco has a hand of glory that he uses on the night of the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Likely bought in Borgin and Burkes.
[edit] Family
Draco is the son of Narcissa Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy. Bellatrix Lestrange and Andromeda Tonks are his aunts on his mother's side.
Draco married Astoria Greengrass, younger sister of his classmate Daphne Greengrass.[10] At the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows they are shown to have a son named Scorpius.
Sirius Black and Nymphadora Tonks are cousins of Draco Malfoy.
[edit] Reception
Many fans did not like Draco. However after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when fanfiction became popular, many more fans came to like the character. After the movies, many more people fell for Tom Felton and thus became fans of Draco Malfoy. J.K. Rowling however said that many people were failing to remember that Tom Felton was NOT Draco Malfoy. (She was of course meaning that he was only portraying Draco.)
[edit] In Popular Culture
Draco Malfoy is a favorite in the fannon world. In fanfiction, he is often seen wearing leather pants. One of the most popular parings in fanfiction is the "Drarry" pairing, a homosexual relationship between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. One of the most popular authors is "Maya", whose "Underwater light, Drop Dead Gorgeous," and "Quality of Mercy" fanfics remain favorites of the genre.
Another popular paring is "Dramione" which is relationship with Draco and Hermione Granger. This is arguably one of the most popular fannon heterosexual pairings. Popular Dramione stories are "We'll Always Have Paris", and Adamo Fidelitas", among others.

A Southern rescue dog that just arrived in Connecticut Saturday escaped the next evening from a foster family's home in Farmington.
The family had just brought Sassy, 2, a black lab mix home to Farmington Sunday from a Double Dog Rescue adoption event at Roaring Brook Kennels in Canton near the Avon town line.
The foster family lives at Farmington Chase Crescent near Route 6 by the Bristol town line.
"The dog slipped out of her harness and ran off," said Sherry Tilsch, of Avon, a volunteer for Double Dog Rescue.
Sassy, who is not wearing a collar or tags, was last spotted on Mountain Road in Farmington by Miss Porter's School. She has dark chocolate fur and weighs 95 pounds.
Double Dog Rescue requests that anyone who spots Sassy should call 860-748-5470 or 781-385-9094."
"She's very friendly, but she's very shy," Tilsch said. "I wouldn't suggest they'd approach her because she'd probably just run off."

Town Square
Too many students, too few seats

If the Las Lomitas District students are all reassigned to Woodside High, there will be more than enough parents to file a charter school petition, which the Sequoia board will vote down and the State Board of Education will likely approve. The High School district is required to provided comparable facilities to approved charter schools. With approximately 500 Las Lomitas students matriculating to a charter over a 4 year period, that would significantly help with the overcrowding in the existing high schools.
on May 22, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Why do you assume that all Las Lomitas District students would rather go to a charter school than attend Woodside High School? What is so terribly wrong with Woodside High School other than the fact that a large number of kids are English language learners whose parents did not attend college? Does that mean that there aren't dedicated teachers there? Does that mean that kids who seek challenging courses can't take them? I have two good friends whose children currently attend Woodside High School (they both attended Catholic schools in elementary and middle school) and their kids are doing very well. I have a student at M-A High School now, but I would not be opposed to sending my 2nd child to Woodside High. It's actually closer to us too. And, if the entire cohort was going there, it would automatically raise the API scores and the % of kids whose parents attended college and graduate school.

The SUHSD spent a fair amount of money at some point building a school on Myrtle in East Palo Alto. I know, because I've attended meetings there. It's a gorgeous facility and no one seems to be using it.
I realize that it's not PC to advocate for a school in EPA because the attendees would most likely reflect the socioeconomic/racial composition of the local population. But I'll bet most families would rather have their teens attend a neighborhood school than get sent to school in San Carlos.
The school exists already and seems ready for kids! Why isn't the board considering opening it? It would relieve pressure from the SUHSD and perhaps even eliminate the need to redraw boundaries for the near future.

San Francisco Personal Injury Attorneys
San Francisco is the fourth largest city in California, and the thirteenth largest in the United States, with a population of more than 800,000. Millions more have left their hearts in this popular tourist destination. Affectionately known as the City by the Bay, San Francisco is renowned for its chilly summer temperatures, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Alcatraz Prison (or "The Rock").
San Francisco Accidents
When compared with other California cities, San Francisco tops the list in a number of positive ways. But it is also Number 1 in something not so desirable – deaths and injuries in traffic accidents.
Client Testimonials
According to the State Office of Traffic Safety, San Francisco has more deaths and injuries in traffic collisions than any other large California city, when calculated by the number of miles driven. In 2009, 3,745 people were killed or injured in traffic accidents in San Francisco, including 736 pedestrians, 293 motorcyclists, and 522 bicyclists.

The Reeves Law Group is a proud member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Membership in these prestigious groups is limited to trial lawyers who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for their clients.
Recovery of Compensation
We know that insurance companies often try to take advantage of an unrepresented accident victim, and will fight to limit or deny the financial recovery they are entitled to receive. It is important for anyone who has been injured in an accident to hire a reputable and knowledgeable personal injury attorney who can help ensure that the injured party is compensated for his or her losses. Such compensation may include damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and impairment of future wages. Punitive damages may also be awarded when the culprit's actions are intentional or reckless.
In the event a wrongful death occurs as a result of another person's negligence or recklessness, the victim's loved ones may be entitled to recover compensation, including damages for loss of financial support and loss of companionship.
Time is of the Essence
It is not only important to pursue all possible avenues of recovery, but it is also crucial to act quickly to make sure that all relevant evidence is preserved before it is lost or destroyed. In addition, there are strict deadlines for filing various documents, and delay could result in the forfeiture of legal rights. If we are retained to represent you, we will prepare and timely file the required legal documents for you. We are available for a free consultation twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

BATON ROUGE—Louisiana's health secretary should have broader discretion to revoke abortion clinic licenses in case of safety and health concerns, the state Senate decided Monday, giving final passage to the proposal.
The measure by Rep. Fred Mills, D-Parks, would allow the head of the Department of Health and Hospitals to immediately suspend a license if he decides there is an immediate health or safety threat at one of a handful of clinics in the state that provide abortions.
Mount said that decision is left to a three-judge panel, which could take months to make a decision while the clinic can stay open.
Clinics could appeal the license suspension, under the bill.
The proposal also would increase the health secretary's authority to refuse to renew a license, revoke an existing license or deny a license if an investigation finds any violation of state or federal regulations.
Supporters say the bill would put the health secretary's authority over outpatient abortion clinics in line with the authority he has over other kinds of health care facilities, like pediatric day care, substance abuse and adult day care facilities.
Senators gave unanimous backing to the measure, sending it to the governor's desk. It already had received unanimous approval from the House. Gov. Bobby Jindal supports the bill.
The Senate overwhelmingly rejected an attempt by Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, to remove a provision in the bill that would allow the DHH secretary to prohibit an operator or owner of an abortion clinic whose license is revoked from owning or managing another outpatient abortion clinic in the state.
Peterson argued the penalty was "extreme, and we don't do that with other businesses." She only got four votes in support of removing the language from the measure.
The Senate also approved a proposed ban on coverage for elective abortions in the insurance purchasing pools set up by the federal health overhaul legislation. The 28-3 vote of the Senate sends the measure by Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, back to the House for approval of changes.
Among the changes, a Senate committee scaled back the bill to affect only the purchasing pools. As it passed the House, it also would have banned private insurance coverage for elective abortions in the state.
Hoffmann has said he'll support the Senate changes. He also said he thought the issue was moot anyway, because he hasn't found any private insurers in the state that currently cover elective abortions.
Hoffmann's bill includes an exception for abortions when a mother's life is in danger - but no exception for rape and incest victims, as other states have included in similar bills.
Opponents have argued the measure would add an unnecessary obstacle to women trying to get an abortion and should include exceptions for rape and incest victims. No one spoke against the proposal, however, on the Senate floor Monday.
