Old-school spa luxury
Spa 901 adds to ski town's hip heritage vibe
FERNIE, B.C. -- Public schools and pampering have never been associated with each other, but they are now comfortably intertwined at Spa 901 in Fernie, B.C.
The 901 reference is to the spa's address at the end of the shopping and dining district on the Rocky Mountain ski town's Ninth Avenue -- which just might be one of the hippest main streets east of Nelson, B.C.
As if we needed another reason to visit laid-back Fernie, a city of 5,000 that attracts hundreds of visitors every weekend to its mountain-framed setting in the Elk Valley. Plenty of Albertans and others already make a beeline for the snow-blessed ski hill, dining at dozens of restaurants from grassroots to gourmet or checking out the mountain gear shops, cafés and quirky retailers.
Add Spa 901 to the list of quirky spots. But it's only unusual because of what it once was -- a public school built in 1908, when the city was a coal-mining and forestry hub. The spiffed-up red-brick exterior and other touchstones of the old school have been carefully restored. The once rundown building has been rejuvenated into a comfy place to retreat at the end of a mogul-busting day on the slopes or a bone-rattling day on the bike trails. Or for no other reason but to treat yourself.
Shelly Macgregor, a registered massage therapist who owns several clinics in Calgary, took over the Spa 901 space in 2011. It offers customized pampering treatments, unlike her therapeutic massage clinics in Calgary. Last summer, she went to Fernie for a bike race and met some people who told her the space was waiting for a spa to be developed. She jumped at the chance.
Step through the large doorway and it's hard to imagine school kids kibitzing in the hallways or bursting out of the doors for recess. The building, anchoring at the far eastern end of Ninth, fits well with Fernie's hip heritage vibe.
Many of the buildings were erected after the city was razed by fires in 1904 and 1908. After the blazes, the city decreed fireproof materials such as brick and stone must be used when constructing buildings downtown. What arose were handsome structures in the "simplified Italianate" style, including the building that houses Spa 901 on the main floor.
Within the entire development, known as 901 Fernie, there are 44 stylish one- to three-bedroom condo units for rent or purchase. Think floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the Lizard Range of snow-capped peaks, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There are a couple of penthouses with two- or three-bedroom options, a homey place for a family or a group of friends to stay for the weekend. That literally makes 901 a destination spa.
-- Postmedia News
What to expect at Spa 901
The look: High ceilings and soothing wall colours play off the exposed brick walls and reclaimed wood floors, giving the spa a warm, welcoming feel, respectful of its historic roots. The curving staircase to the lower level, made of reclaimed fir, leads to a meandering space, which includes a lovely lounge with a fireplace, five treatment rooms and full-body infrared saunas. Outside, there's a hot pool.
Signature treatments: Owner??? Shelly Macgregor says skiers will love the "blissful feet" massage, a 30-minute massage of the feet and calves using hot-compress towels. Another special treatment is the "intention scrub," a 90-minute full-body moisturizing massage ending with a rain shower.
Packages: Spa 901 offers four packages, including the "weekend warrior widow" ($360), 31/2 hours of spa indulgences that include a two-hour massage, a facial and more. There's also the "old school pampering" package ($160), a trio of offerings: facial, pedicure and manicure.
More information and rentals: Go to spa901.ca for treatment bookings. Condo rentals are available year round. Guests can use the spa's sauna and pools for $15. Sample condo rental rates in April and May range from $185 a night for a one-bedroom to $335 a night for the three-bedroom penthouse. Other condo units outside the Schoolhouse building have private entries and can also be rented.

AVT's systems provide quality products that appeal to a new generation of consumers
CORONA, Calif., July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in automated retailing, micro-stores and kiosks, announced that several of their custom vending machine designs were featured in an article in the Los Angeles Times.
According to the Times, these new style vending machines offer amazing technology and products. "Some feature food that you would normally find in a restaurant or specialty store. Others offer free Wi-Fi and touch screens that entertain shoppers while they wait. Many accept credit or debit cards, and a few even sell outrageously expensive items such as jewelry."
Denis Koci worked with AVT to develop the technology for the Burritobox, which offers warm burritos on demand. His Los Angeles company, the Box Brands, rolled out six machines this year in the Southland and in August will start franchising nationally, Koci told the Times.
Another upscale system, The Cupcake Kiosk in Beverly Hills, now accounts for half of the daily sales for the bakery – an average of 1,000 cupcakes a day, the Times reported.
"Innovations are now driving a renaissance in U.S. self-serve kiosks"
"There is a lot of innovation happening in vending machines," said Omar Khedr, industry research analyst at IBISWorld. "It's occurring in niche markets like organic foods, propelled forward by access to new technology and convenience," the Times reported.
These new high-end vending machines are frequented by consumers with increasingly picky tastes who still want convenience on the go, the Times stated. These customers are accustomed to online shopping, and are familiar with browsing and buying with no help from salespeople or waiters.
"It's a case of technological innovation at an affordable price," said Christopher Salyers, author of "Vending Machines: Coined Consumerism." "The Internet has only proliferated this worldview of pay-and-click consumers."
According to the Los Angeles Times, revenue for the U.S. vending machine industry is poised to rise and hit $7.7 billion in 2019, up nearly 7% from $7.2 billion this year. Experts say 2014 marks the comeback of the sector after years squeezed by a recession.

Time to take on entitlement mentalityPUBLISHED: 27 Jul 2013 00:33:24 | UPDATED: 27 Jul 2013 02:42:17PUBLISHED: 27 Jul 2013 PRINT EDITION: 27 Jul 2013

Capital idea
Brian Toohey
Here we go again. The budget's in trouble. Revenue's falling and spending's rising. Call in the razor gang! Order will soon be restored. Unfortunately, it's no longer that simple.
The problem isn't that earlier razor gangs slashed the easy targets. Plenty of good options remain to repair the budget. Which is just as well, given that Tuesday's Finance Department figures showed more revenue shortfalls for corporate and personal taxes. Even superannuation tax receipts are below expectations, despite the funds' best performance in 16 years.
Kevin Rudd's government has promised remedial action, if somewhat tentatively. More than another trim is needed. The escalating costs of an ageing population and modern medicine require a full-frontal attack on the entitlement mentality and changes to broaden the tax base. But the political context has changed. Rational attempts to limit entitlements now meet stiff resistance, often encouraged by Coalition Leader Tony Abbott.
Moreover, structural budget deficits make it fiscally irresponsible to entice voters to accept tough measures by cutting marginal tax rates. In any event, voters show little gratitude for small but expensive tax cuts – as Labor has found since 2007.
Even modest efforts to tighten loose means tests are now lambasted as driven by class warfare or the politics of envy. Some Labor politicians join the fray by claiming that the top 1 per cent or 2 per cent of income earners are not rich. Perhaps they're not, but this doesn't mean they should be entitled to welfare payments intended for those at the bottom.
Report on protecting prosperity
PricewaterhouseCoopers canvassed these issues on Tuesday in a report that says governments risk not being able to meet the key needs of our community and a further slide into debt. Called Protecting Prosperity, the report says, "Ultimately, simply cutting waste is not going to be enough to do everything we wish. Significant action is required to enable governments to boost revenues and address current deficits."
Contrary to the burgeoning entitlement mentality, the report backs means testing and notes that access to superannuation can encourage fit 60- to 65-year-olds to leave the workforce, thus hurting economic growth. In general, it opposes tax exemptions or concessions for high-income individuals, partly because they can distort economic decisions and harm efficiency. It says the tax system should be neutral towards how people earn or spend their income and the structure through which they do it.
Potential losers shouting the loudest
While the report does not put it this way, compulsory super and its preferential tax treatment fail this test but cost the budget tens of billions of dollars a year. On a smaller scale, subsidising well-off retirees to buy prescription drugs at a sixth of the cost for minimum wage-earners also fails the test. Even if some projections are overstated, it should be possible to cut $30 billion to $40 billion from Treasury's estimated overall cost of tax concessions and welfare spending of $300 billion in 2016-17.
Although winners from carefully targeted budget cuts should easily outnumber the losers, the latter have become increasingly vociferous about their "right" to special treatment. Treasurer Chris Bowen has copped a heavy backlash for requiring the beneficiaries of company cars to verify they qualify for a tax break by keeping a log book for six weeks once every five years. Although he will inherit a difficult budget outlook if he becomes prime minister, Abbott says he will reject the $1.8 billion Bowen will save.
The PwC report says: "If we are to prevent . . . long-term structural deficits growing even larger, governments need to boost revenues. If we lift only those taxes that have the least effect on economic growth, [and] reduce our reliance on taxes that damage economic growth . . . then tax reform can help drive productivity growth and lift real incomes."
Agreement needed on debt cutting
The report favours the standard reforms. It wants to increase GST and expand its coverage to health, food and education. It also wants to increase land tax, scrap most other state taxes and cut business and personal income tax. It accepts that state governments need more revenue to cope with rising costs in areas such as health. But this is unlikely to stop Abbott from branding an expanded GST as a "great big tax increase on everything".
Nor does applying the GST to private school fees make much sense if a federal government promptly gives 100 per cent compensation.
State governments face a fierce reaction to any increase in land tax, suggesting it will be politically hard to introduce a big enough change to fund the abolition of other state taxes and help cut income taxes. Local government rates have the same virtues as a land tax. Provided standards of local governments improve, there is also a politically difficult case for expanding their role at the expense of other governments. Instead of giving up, reformers should openly criticise those who mount ferocious campaigns to maintain a narrow tax base and provide welfare benefits to those who can to fend for themselves. At present, neither Rudd nor Abbott looks like tackling longer-term budgetary problems. Abbott, for example, loves to condemn the current modest level of government debt. If the PwC report is right, debt will become a genuine burden unless political leaders agree to cut the bloated entitlement mentality.

Losing respect
Once again we have to read about Chief Solomon whining about how much money the city of Methuen owes him. To hear him tell it, he's completely innocent in the matter. Did the City of Methuen misspend the police grant? Did the city holler at and browbeat any Methuen police officer? Did the City of Methuen buy the marine equipment from a sister and brother-in-law? Somewhere, somehow a gag order needs to be placed on the chief until this is all settled. The City of Methuen seems to be taking the high road by not speaking about anything. It's a shame the chief can't follow suit. I was always taught to respect any and all police officers and firefighters but with the chief of police being in the paper whining and complaining, the respect is going downhill faster then a snowball.
Over the cliff
Anyone paying attention can see that the real scenario is that the Democrats don't want higher taxes on the 1 percent or 2 percent, they want it on all of us and are counting on the Republicans' not going along with their unfair tax proposal so that they can blame them when the taxes go up. That's the Democrats' plan all along. Promote something that the Republicans won't go along with and then get the tax increase on 100 percent of the people as planned.
Give them jobs
There is a lot of unrest in the world — Syria, Turkey, etc. — the list goes on and on. These countries where people are killing each other do all have one thing in common and I doubt they realize it. That is the fact that they all have that 1 percent that has it all. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? For example, India and some African nations both have a substantial number of billionaires now. Give everyone a job and you will have no unrest. When we see people in the news rioting and killing it's mostly during the day. Do we realize that is because they are not working. Give them jobs and a lot of this will be solved.

The Wendover arm is navigable for just about one and a half miles long at the moment and provides a very peaceful mooring. It is popular with walkers who have not just an abundance of footpaths but several benches, like the one in the picture below, to sit on.
Above just two minutes from the mooring two footpaths cross, roughly on left by the trees, giving four routes through our beautiful fields of grazing sheep or cattle. I know this be strange for some readers but here in the UK millions of people roam across land legally, shutting gates etc. and having respect for the landowners property and livestock. The sheep are soon to lamb and a farmers notice asks for dogs to be kept on a leash.
I said millions of respectful people but as always even in such a tranquil place we have an element that care for no one except themselves. Remember the bench. I do when we last visited it had a small Brass plate that stated the bench was in memory of a deceased relative. Now walking around the area I noticed two others that had the plates missing.
Walking along the section of the Wendover arm being restored the footpath crosses the canal by this bridge installed by the Wendover trust with donations from the public. A metal plaque is purchased with your own inscription that can be again as a memorial or perhaps just a name of the donating individual or group.
They are very firmly attached needing a hexagonal headed tool to remove them.
As you can see on the right some scumbag has been trying unsuccessfully to prise them off.
These are made I think from a very light alloy and quite a lot would be needed to achieve a weight worth selling as scrap.
Not sure of other parts of the world but here in the UK metal theft is very much on the increase because of high prices of metals. None of the plaques seemed to have been removed, just damaged.
Our life and travels throughout 2000 miles of British waterways: a bit of canal history, an occasional mystery; spiced with large quantities of love, laughter, and great camaraderie!

No there were plaques on both support legs and all but about six fitted perfectly. Where they had been levered the softnes of the metal allowed them to stretch but not break.

Re: Why the lack of Classic characters?
They have repeated some on BBC Four in the recent past, in fact I believe we watched some together last year. They're rumoured to be replaying 1 measly serial for the anniversary. But I'm surprised they haven't managed to come up with some idea to fill the schedules, 1, 2, 3, 4, they could have retrospective, cheap but new shows on BBC One, BBC Two with repeats of the new series, 4 with repeats of old, and then the new Anniversary stuff could share between 1, 2 and 3 and they'd have filled 10s or scores of hours for very little money and have pleased the fans.
I'm not saying they
do that, or that we
that, or anything like that. But it would make sense and be fitting in the anniversary year to do something special if not expensive.
And their call for war on poverty is a smokescreen we don't need, cos the only war worth fighting for is a war on their pure greed.

This white paper looks at four key trends – rising renting, segmented city, spreading suburbs and ranging retirement – in the UK population.
As the UK economic climate changes, so do your customers. How has the profile of your customers changed?
As the school holidays get into full swing and commuters feel the benefit of quieter roads the national Index from Experian FootFall shows a 0.2% week on week increase in shopper visits. The changeable week of weather may have also contributed to the increase in visits to our shopping centres and high streets. The UK national retail index showed a decline of 2.7% year on year.
Three of the 11 regions showed a positive increase year on year with the highest performing region being the Eastern region showing a 3.4% increase year on year.
The Experian FootFall Index for Retail Parks again shows an increase of retail traffic of 1.6% year on year with a positive increase of 3.8% week on week as this sector continues to show positive footfall results.

Seroquel XR, an anti-psychotic drug, is AstraZeneca's second largest selling drug.According to AstraZeneca, the UK court is the first to rule that the Seroquel XR patent is invalid. Earlier this month, the district court in the Hague, Netherlands found the patent protecting Seroquel XR to be valid.The ruling was in response to the patent challenge from generic drug makers Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA: Quote), Sandoz Ltd., the subsidiary of Novartis AG (NVS: Quote), Accord Healthcare Ltd, Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd and Hexal AG."AstraZeneca is disappointed with the court's decision. However, the company remains committed to defending its intellectual property protecting Seroquel XR," the company said.AstraZeneca said it is engaged in many other legal proceedings related to Seroquel XR's patents and regulatory exclusivity, which includes pending trial decisions in US and Spain. The company also last week filed a lawsuit in a US court for overturning the FDA's denial of a bid to delay the entry of generic versions of Seroquel. Seroquel's patent exclusivity expires this month.AZN is currently trading on the NYSE at $45.21, down 0.48%, on a volume of 1.6 million shares.

Would you follow a doctor across the country? One North Carolina couple did, but they had five very special reasons to.
Meet Carmen Matthews and her husband Mike, the proud parents of quintuplets.
"..Sunday we got a positive pregnancy test..went to the doctor on Monday...saw five heartbeats and I told him we would no longer be coming back to see him," said Mike.
But going back to see the doctor is exactly what the proud parents-to-be-did. In fact, they followed Dr. John Elliot to California first, then to Arizona where the five healthy babies, two girls and three boys -- made their debut early Thursday morning at ardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa.
The quints were born at 34 weeks and the smallest boy weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces.

Parks pitches parks fund, backs equestrian site
Supervisor Linda Parks called this week for a $300,000 fund to pay for capital improvement projects in county parks, then asked if almost half the money could go toward an equestrian center in the Santa Rosa Valley.
Parks is a strong advocate for the center, which has been stalled for years in the face of environmental and financial issues. County officials said they have a permit to build the facility at Santa Rosa County Park, but cannot proceed without acquiring or getting an easement for property owned by the city of Thousand Oaks.
If the county put up $145,000 from the fund, that might put an end to the city's objection that the county cannot pay for the project, Parks argued.
"I think it is a statement to the city, 'Here are the funds,' " said Parks, whose district includes both the Santa Rosa Valley and Thousand Oaks.
She said the argument over costs is a "red herring" in her opinion, but that the financial offer would at least put that argument to rest.
The Board of Supervisors agreed Monday to establish the $300,000 ongoing fund in late budget negotiations, but official action authorizing it was still pending Tuesday evening.
With grant funding dried up, parks and community facilities throughout Ventura County have $11 million in projects that need to be done, an official said.
"It will allow us to start repairing things," said Ron Van Dyck, deputy director in charge of the county's system of 24 parks and community centers.
Parks said the equestrian center could help the entire park system because it would generate a profit. Van Dyck, though, doubted the gains would be substantial.
A majority of the Thousand Oaks City Council has balked at the equestrian center. The property lies along Hill Canyon Road, which leads to a city-owned wastewater treatment plant.
Mayor Dennis Gillette said he's concerned about water contamination from the horses on the property.
"The discharge stream from the treatment plant borders this piece of property, and Thousand Oaks sells water for $1 million a year and guarantees quality to the Camrosa Water District," he said. "The park with equestrian emphasis was being developed there with minimal environmental analysis."
Theresa Lubin, an administrator for the parks system, said the environmental analysis was sufficient. The remaining obstacles are acquiring the city land for the trail and the financing, she said.
It could cost in the neighborhood of $100,000 to build the trail, but the arenas, bleachers and other facilities in the equestrian center would add another $220,000 to $330,000, Lubin said.

The Bloomingdale Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating a wanted man.
Police are looking for Ashford Cuffy, 29, who fled from police officers on Monday. Cuffy is wanted on several charges, including fleeing and attempt to elude police officers, possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute.
Cuffy is described as a black male, 6 foot 6 inches in height and weighing about 150 lbs.

The Bradbury Chronicles: The Life of Ray Bradbury (P.S.)by Sam Weller
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Ray Bradbury is an American literary icon, an architect of wonders whose life has been as fascinating, momentous, and inspiring as his fiction, which has enthralled millions of readers the world over for more than six decades.
Born Rae Douglas Bradbury on August 22, 1920, in Waukegan, Illinois, he displayed an affinity for the fantastic at an early age — spending hours at the local movie theater, fighting his fear of the dark to escape into glorious made-up worlds. Though he once dreamed of becoming an actor, writing was his true calling, and he remained resolute in his art throughout his early adult years despite numerous rejections — finally breaking through with publications of his horror and fantasy stories in the pulp magazines of the forties. It was not long before he ascended to a higher literary plane, creating the acclaimed works that would solidify his place as one of the most important and influential authors of the twentieth century: Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Dandelion Wine, to name a very few.
Award-winning journalist Sam Weller has been granted unparalleled access to Bradbury's private archives, and has spent hundreds of hours interviewing longtime friends, family members, colleagues, and the author himself. As a result, Weller gives us a uniquely balanced, in-depth, and utterly remarkable portrait of a remarkable man, the life story up until now of a brilliant visionary artist and enigmatic mass of contradictions — the writer who envisioned rocket travel to the stars but who never learned to drive a car; the futurist who brought astonishing tomorrows to life yet refuses to operate a computer; the passionate free spiritwho remained devotedly married to one woman — his beloved Marguerite — for more than fifty years.
The Bradbury Chronicles is, at once, a poignant love story, an inspiring tale of struggle and accomplishment, and a spellbinding record of an extraordinary era in America's history and the man who helped define it. Here is Ray Bradbury — dreamer, author, humanist, poet, innovator — a one-of-a-kind literary force of nature whose extraordinary life can now be celebrated along with the enduring masterworks with which he has graced the world.
Accomplished journalist Sam Weller met the Ray Bradbury while writing a cover story for the Chicago Tribune Magazine and spent hundreds of hours interviewing Bradbury, his editors, family members, and longtime friends. With unprecedented access to private archives, he uncovered never-before-published letters, documents, and photographs that help tell the story of this literary genius and his remarkable creative journey. The result is a richly textured, detailed biography that illuminates the origins and accomplishments of Bradbury's fascinating mind.
The first fully authorized biography illuminates the fascinating mind of Ray Bradbury, the legendary writer who has imprinted his one-of-a-kind "tattoo" on modern culture. 16-page photo insert.
About the Author
Sam Weller is an award-winning journalist and the former Midwest correspondent for Publishers Weekly. He is a frequent contributor to the Chicago Tribune Magazine, National Public Radio's All Things Considered, and the Chicago Public Radio program 848.

Number of ratings 227 / Average Grade: A- Submit a correction
I took Intermediate Alg. online and it was a disaster. Anytime I would email Prefessor Drew it would take days for him to respond. Specifically one time I told him I was having trouble understanding a problem & his reply (2 days later) was to find a tutor.
intermidiate al
If you are not good at maTH, do not take him, he is pretty goo, but very, very, awfully strict.
mac 1140
Horrible instructor. He is rude when you ask questions. He slaps up entire completed problems then talks the whole time you are rushing to copy it down. Doesn't work through problems step by step. Don't take him unless you can teach yourself.
Mac 1102
SPC really did a number picking this guy. They clearly threw the criteria of "knowing how to teach" "knowing how to work with people" and "common respect for others" out the window because he meets none of them. He's rude, obnoxious, ungracious, and undeserving of a teaching certificate. Avoid this guys class at all cost. Cell Phone May signing out
Worst professor ever. So unprofessional. He is loud, yells at students, EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL. It goes beyond my comprehension how a person like him can be a college professor. If you want to do well DO NOT TAKE HIM...If you are late to class by 1 min he'll make you sign a tardy sheet.
I took Mr. Drew for MAC 1033/MAC 1105. He's pretty strict, can somewhat be confusing in lectures and grades harshly on tests, but he wants you to know the material inside & out and show every step possible. He also hates texting and being tardy. If you can follow the rules and study the HW a lot outside of class you'll do fine. I got a B twice.
Inter. Alg
I took his class two years ago and when ever I want to relate to my "worst college experience" or why I should ALWAYS use rate my professor, I go here. If you want to pass the class- take another teacher! Or suffer and learn for yourselves
Professor Drew is very unprofessional when it comes to teaching; He yelled my grade out in front of the class. He yells at his students and treats them like children in middle school. He is unconsistant with what he says and is a very hard test grader. I've taken math harder than this class but was forced to withdraw because he is so unreasonable.
mac 1105
He is a terrible teacher he doesn't work with the students and takes points off of test and quizzes over equal signs or anything he doesn't like i would never in a million years recommended him
Professor Drew is extremely strict and unwilling to work with students. I read these comments previously before taking his class and figured it would be worth a challenge. I have a standing C right now and cannot bring it up because he marks points off of tests and quizzes for useless reasons. Don't make the same mistake I did by taking his class.
Be prepared to teach yourself the material, or seek outside help to learn anything.
I love math and I'm a good student I always try to find a teacher that will challenge me to learn but not explaining the problems AT ALL is a little much esp. at a beginning level
Mac 1105
He was very hard. I dont know about the whole "college" comment below. He was strict and had no mercy. I took another college algebra class and got an A I would have failed his class if I stayed in it. I love math but did not like HIS class at all.
Worst professor I have had in my two years at SPC. Very rude to students and makes you feel stupid for asking questions. I should have dropped class but I did try. Do not take Dr. Drew unless you know the material.
Very HARD ... explain's 1 time if you get it great, if you did'nt, HE DOES NOT CARE. Very hard teacher, Very hard
This is a tough class that I would recommend you come prepared for. This is not a bad professor but just be prepared and you should be ok!
Don't even think about taking this guy for MAT1033, MAC1105, and MAC1140. His way of teaching math will confuse you and you probably ended up struggling his class. If his class is open, wait for another professor.
Do not take this teacher. Even if the subject is easy his teaching methods are vague at best. I am only passing this class because I took the same math course in high school. He has an ego and responds to all questions condescendingly. Teachers should inspire you and challenge you, not look down on you.
A completely unreasonable individual. Doesn't want to take time to actually teach, only barrage with notes. Felt bad for students that raised their hands for a question, his tone borders condescending and degrading. You'd literally see people pretend he clarified. Is insanely anal with tests, and unnecessarily hard, for a college algebra class.
Really bad teacher. grades harsh & deducts points if you don't show the work his way. Notes don't resemble the test & quiz since he worded it out differently. Final exam isn't like the lessons we covered. If you wanna pass math, take someone else because if you have him good luck fighting for your grade.

Commentary. Reforming teachers' pay: incentive payments, collegiate ethos and UK policy
AbstractWe examine the economic rationale for the expansion of incentive pay for school-teachers in England and Wales. While incentive pay usually improves performance in terms of targeted output, research also suggests that dysfunctional behaviour is likely, particularly in occupations with multiple goals such as teaching. We develop an economic analysis of the 'threat to collegiate ethos' argument of those opposing increased use of incentive pay. This analysis suggests that the presence of asymmetric information, externalities and teamwork effects can provide a rationale for encouraging professional motivation.

A former Knox High School teacher and basketball coach has pleaded not guilty to charges of child seduction and official misconduct, that's according to our reporting partners at WKVI Radio.
Todd Boldry, 39, was arrested late last month amid allegations of sexual misconduct with a student that occurred as early as 2007.
According to the Starke County Prosecutor's Office, Boldry is accused of having an inappropriate relationship on high school grounds with a then 17-year-old girl, and fathering her now two-year-old son.
Knox Community School superintendent A.J. Gappa suspended Boldry with pay from his current teaching position at Knox Middle School pending further investigation.
The school board is expected to approve that action during its Wednesday meeting.
Boldry is currently being held on $100,000 dollars bond. If convicted, he could face up to six years in prison.

Last week I wrote that I was afraid I had missed part of spring awakening in the Catskill Mountains/Hudson Valley region. I got home on Easter Sunday to find that I had not missed a thing.
The roadside perennial, coltsfoot, with its yellow, dandelion-like flowers, devoid of leaves, had begun to bloom at the bottom of my road but not at all at my house, several hundred feet higher in elevation. The trees in my woods are still bare, with their buds beginning to swell but except for the red maples, they look much like they did in December.
My lawn is half green and half tan still, in that particular hue that is one of the 40 shades of green I will someday write a story about. There is no sign of spring bulbs or forsythia where I live, but that is certainly not the case further east and south.
Readers in the Kingston area are already enjoying almost peak forsythia bloom despite the extremely cold winter. Cold weather in mid to late winter does not harm most shrubs as much as very early or very late cold snaps. Remember that the best time to prune this reliable shrub is right after the flowers fade. It is a tough plant and can be pruned back severely every few years. For best results prune many of the older shoots close to ground level and cut back others to retain the plant's symmetry. It will send up new shoots that can grow 6 feet or so in a single season. Forsythia may also be trained to grow like a hedge or a gumdrop or a bon bon if that suits your fancy.
Spring bulbs in bloom can be fertilized now with a liquid fertilizer or organic fertilizers such as cottonseed meal, bone meal and greensand may also be applied. Mark clumps of bulbs that fail to bloom for fall division and replanting in October. Tulips rarely bloom for more than a few years consecutively, but daffodils often naturalize and spread as do many of the minor bulbs such as crocus, muscaria, galanthus, and aconite. A friend of mine in New York City posts pictures of Central Park and it is remarkable how much ahead of us their season is. Our seasonal residents from NJ and Long Island get to see spring spread out over a longer time than the locals. I got to see an entire season's progression in the three day drive from Florida to Conesville. Wisteria and redbud grow like weeds along the Interstate and Bradford pears seemingly grow everywhere in Virginia.
Refrain from mowing the lawn until it shows three inches of new growth and avoid the urge to fertilize it until late May. If it does not "green up" by itself by May, it is dead and fertilizer cannot revive dead grass. There will be lots of dead patches of grass in low spots from a disease called gray snow mold. The name accurately describes its symptoms. There are chemical fungicides for sale at your local garden center to treat it and prevent it from spreading. Ironically this disease is most prevalent in heavily fertilized places such as golf courses. You may still apply a crabgrass preventing chemical as long as the forsythia is in bloom. Organic gardeners can use a form of corn gluten mean to both prevent crabgrass seeds from germinating and also act as a slow release, organic fertilizer. The best way to prevent crabgrass infestations is to out compete it with more desirable grasses. A thick, healthy turf resists all sorts of weeds including dandelions.
It seems that most of the early flowers I see are yellow colored. I wonder why this particular color is so dominant at this time of year? Beekeepers may argue that yellow is a preferred color for honeybees foraging for nectar, but honeybees are not native insects and neither are dandelions, daffodils, coltsfoot or forsythia native plants for that matter. White flowers seem to prevail when the natives begin to bloom such as shadblow, cherry, wild pear, viburnums and crabapple. Perhaps the native pollinators such as bumblebees prefer white flowers. I love them all and I never question the nationality of spring flowers, that make me smile.

A: Darker straw colour with hues of orange. You can see fairly well through the beer but it is still hazy. Pours a nice thick creamy white head that stays persistent as it falls to a bout 1/8 inch during drinking.
S: Fruity esters, some mango and tangerine are noticeable. Spiciness present. Reminds me a bit of light cinnamon, some cardamon, hints of white pepper.
T: Some tangy orange flavours mixed with some cinnamon and pepper. A slight tart flavour is present with a nice dry finish.
M: Low-medium body, high carbonation, slick on the tongue, slight acidity balances the dry finish and the fruity/spicy flavours.
O: A good saison by all means. Well balanced on the fruity and spicy notes. Acidity and tartness are complimenting.

Poured from a 750 ML bottle into a pint glass. Reviewed from notes.
A - Pours a light straw yellow, very effervescent. Soap like white head forms and goes as quickly as it came. nice lacing.
S - Cloves and spicy yeast notes come through first, followed by lemon rind and a bready sweetness.
T - Spicy yeast again, from the Belgian yeast used. Lemon, pepper, and clove follow.
M - Really really light and easy drinking, heavy carbonation makes this great and similar to many great saisons that I have had.
O - A good beer, but I would have enjoyed it much more in the summer. It's a very light crisp summery style, but I still appreciated it a lot after a hard days work.

Appearance: It has a nice semi-cloudy golden/yellow color to it. It has a nice white head that dies down somewhat fast and leaves little lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of Belgian yeast, spices, citrus, lemon and bready and grainy malts.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has some Belgian yeast, peppery spices, citrus/lemon note, and bready/grainy malts.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas.

GLB 25th Anniversary Belgian Saison has enough golden straw to build a bale house. It also, however, has the same degree of clarity as grapefruit juice; the colour is bright but the complexion is hazy. It's an attractive and unique aesthetic that works well with the little bubbles stirring about. Its head is unimpressive (especially for a saison) but leaves a lacing that looks like a prehistoric riverbed.
Although all beers are subject to some extent of interchangeability, Saison as a style has a definitive, unmistakable smell. Just as bananas or onions or bacon can be readily identified by their particular and pronounced smells, so too saisons (regardless of differences of degree) all share a distinguishably peppery, bready, herbaceous, and sometimes lemony scent. Going by smell, I'd call this a bona-fide Saison.
The flavour begins on a bready maltiness that at mid-point gives way to a fruity, sugary, grapefruit or orange marmalade note. A peppery, clove-like spice parachutes itself in on the finish and leaves a big, zesty tingle in the mouth. Between all these elements, no single entity stands as rider to the flavour horse. Each sip has the twists and turns of an episode of Breaking Bad. There's lots going on.
Between the rash of spice and lemony acidity, this beer has more ferociousness than most around the six-point-five percent mark. It's no struggle to drink, but it does register on the palate as stronger than its stated abv. There is a spoonful of honey to the malts, but between grains of paradise, pepper and coriander, spices run the show. (As an aside, I'm not sure they needed to add spices, the yeast is pretty flamboyant.)
Great Lakes Brewing is a bit of a jack of all trades. These anniversary series offerings do well to highlight that, as this (slightly exaggerated, but) convincingly "Belgian" saison attests. I've often complained that New World brewers don't understand the sophistication of Old World saisons, but I won't ride that hobby horse here. And while this beer uses the crutch of spices, the means justified the ends, in my opinion. This is good stuff.

Appearance: slight haze; flat gold colour; egg white head is decent, lasting several minutes
Aroma: spice, coriander; orange or mandarin sweetness; a lot like a weisse
Taste & Mouthfeel: intense tart flavours up front, lightly balanced with sweet malt and a bitter, spicy hop that moves forward in the finish quite aggressively; strong spice flavour throughout and some lemon; brings to mind autumn on the farm or in the woods; hops are slightly grassy too which is a good compliment to the spice notes - in fact the whole range of fairly diverse flavours end up pairing well; medium body and easy drinking
Overall: a complex, friendly, delicious saison; you would think they've been brewing it for years

First glass of the 750ml pours a clear golden with a good amount of head. The second glass was nicey and hazy with the golden colour as well. Tastes of slight spices with a bit of banana cloves and some slight citrus with the finish. Very refreshing overall and drinks down very smooth. Been impressed with their anniversery beers. I just wish they were more available.

Lightly hazy orange blonde colour, about a finger of white head, some lace. Smell is spicy and yeasty, corriander, banana, lively citrus in the way of orange and lemon, fruity, a little bit of baked bread and candy/bubblegum. Taste is yeasty and spicy, tropical fruit and citrus, more lemon and orange, clove, pepper and corriander, lightly sweet with some tart points, spicy finish. Medium carbonation, medium body with a fairly good feel. Solid stuff here, a nice spicy saison that was quite drinkable.

Beer is light blonde, slightly cloudy. Moderately sized white head. Decent retention and lacing.
Nose is full of banana- seems like lots of wheat. Floral. Spices, includng coriander and what I assume is grains of paradise given the label, but frankly I am not sure what those smell like! Comes across like a spicy hefeweizen to me.
The yeast comes across more in the nose, bringing out the saison qualities more. Light fruits, a bit citrusy, with spices. Coriander for sure. Spices linger in the aftertaste.
Medium bodied, moderate to high carbonation.
Overall, pretty good. Not exciting, but tasty. Would like a bit more emphasis on the yeast and a bit less on the spice, but enjoyable.

750mL bottle as part of the brewery's 25th anniversary celebrations release. According to the label, this brew uses saison yeast, coriander, pepper, and grains of paradise in the recipe.
Poured into a tulip glass. Hazy bright golden, with a big bubbled head of a couple inches that receded into a thick ring with some lacing flecks. Carbonation graces the sides of the glass, giving this a champagne quality in the early stages of the pour. Minimal sediment.
Nose is lively and fresh, with notes of yeast, coriander, and a big lemon component. Grassy and floral hints as well.
Tasty saison, with fresh citrus, coriander, bubblegum near the finish, a bit of yeast, nice slightly bitter finish. Hits all the marks for me. Slightly dry and puckery feel, little sediment, medium bodied.
Another solid brew for the anniversary release. I really hope this release acts as a sort of coming out party for Great Lakes, and that we see more brews like this from them on the shelves.

750ml Bottle from the Ottawa LCBO for 10$
Appearance – Slightly hazy gold colour with an average size fizzy white coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation and there is some faint lacing. The head lasted for around 3-4 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Grains/wheat, citrus, yeast
Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation. I can taste grains/bread mixed with light yeast, citrus, and some peppery notes. There is also some yeast mixed with apples/green grapes. It ends with a slightly spicy aftertaste.
Overall – Good not great.. I was expecting a little more, especially based on the price. A decent beer for the summer months, but a little too pricey for what you get.

On tap at Stouts. Fresh and slightly citrus aroma. Initial taste is a lemon and orange citrus flavoured ale, and then it transitions to a yeasty beverage, more of a saison as it warms. Hazy yellow coloured body with lots of lace. Pepper, more in the sediment of the glass. Drinkable for the summer heat,though nothing exceptional.

CVM Produces BSE Video About Importance of Cleaning Trucks
FDA Veterinarian Newsletter 2006 Volume XXI, No V
The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), in cooperation with three national feed industry trade associations, has produced a video that explains the importance of cleaning out trucks that carry certain feed ingredients in preventing the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
The video offers recommendations to truckers for ways to comply with the requirements of the 1997 BSE feed rule concerning cross-contamination of feed for cattle and other ruminants with prohibited material.
Truckers are responsible for making sure their trucks are cleaned between shipments of feed ingredients containing prohibited material and shipments of feed for cattle and other ruminants. Prohibited material includes meat and bone meal and certain other materials from mammals that can carry the infectious agent for BSE.
The recommendations presented in the video are consistent with those listed in Guidance for Industry #68, "Small Entities Compliance Policy Guide for Protein Blenders, Feed Manufacturers, and Distributors."
Instrumental in the development of the video were the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA), and the National Renderers Association (NRA). These associations represent most of the animal feed and feed ingredient industry in the United States.
The video is about 11 minutes long. It was kept short on purpose so it could be shown to a truck driver waiting for the truck's feed or ingredients to be loaded or unloaded at the feed or feed ingredient manufacturing facility or rendering plant.
CVM will provide access to the complete video through its Web site. The video is free of copyright and can be downloaded and used by anyone.
AFIA, NGFA, and NRA said they are distributing complimentary single copies on CD to member companies to be used by commercial feed mills, feed ingredient manufacturers, integrators, and others as part of an ongoing educational outreach to trucker-haulers.

Well, this is an interesting turn of events. John McCain has black relatives and they support Barack Obama. I came across an interesting article on South Florida Times. Seems like John McCain has literally disowned them too.
The South Florida Times states in that article that in the rural Teoc community of Carroll County, Miss., where the ancestors of Sen. John McCain owned enslaved Africans on a plantation, black, white and mixed-race family members unite every two years for their Coming Home Reunion, on the land where the plantation operated.
As excerpted from South Florida Times, some of McCain's black family members say they are not sure exactly where they fall on the family tree, but they do know this: They are either descendants of the McCain family slaves, or of children the McCains fathered with their slaves.
White and black members of the McCain family have met on the plantation several times over the last 15 years, but one invited guest has been conspicuously absent: Sen. John Sidney McCain.
Psst, John McCain, you have black folks in your family! Your family has a history of being slave owners. I bet that's a revelation he didn't want to come out. Talk about Roots. So, it seems a little hypocritical that he can tap dance around overt racism, while his family is somewhat culturally diverse as Barack Obama's. Isn't it funny how he could beam with joy at his adopted daughter from Bangladesh, but yet he has turned his back on his own black family members. This speaks volumes about the dubious civil rights record he has. Yes, I guess John Lewis was right. Let me take it a step further, this racial tension is in John McCain's blood, going back generations to his racist forefathers.

text: Familiar Ground: Balancing Contrasting Elements July 26, 2014 PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHARLES DAVIS SMITH Tour The Entire House This Dallas home is rich in its history," says interior designer Linda Fritschy of the white classic Revival- style house she was tasked with revamping. Built in 1914 by Bishop Edwin Mouzon—a Southern Methodist University founder—the dwelling was used as both a fraternity and a sorority house before being converted back into a single-family home. The current owner was very familiar with the space, which had been his childhood abode, and now lives here with his wife. "Growing up in the house was a lot of fun," says the husband. "It was always filled with friends and family from all walks of life. But even though the home is 100 years old, we wanted a more contemporary look." To accomplish the owners' goal of a contemporary aesthetic, Dan McKeithen, who helmed the build, performed an extensive renovation. "The house was gutted to the studs," says McKeithen, who demolished and rebuilt the rear portion of the home, which had been added to through the years. He also relocated the garage from the backyard to a space underneath the rear of the home. The newly expanded kitchen and family room now feature ample storage and space thanks to the garage's repositioning. "The topography was very accommodating to this design," says McKeithen, pointing to the home's location atop the highest elevation on the lot. Tweet COMMENTS (0) Thanks!
