This handbook contains information, policies, and advice. It is designed to communicate information that will ensure your success as a music student at Jackson High School. As a family, please read through this manual and submit the form in the back by the appropriate due date. After that, keep it available for review. You'll want to refer to it from time to time. The year's schedule is included so that it can be detached from the book and posted. Please note that the schedule contains events for ALL music students.
If you have any questions regarding the contents of this handbook, please do not hesitate to contact your music instructor.

For Choral Information email Mr. Bruce at email@example.com
Failure to meet the expectations will be addressed with respect to the Code of Conduct as printed in the Jackson High School Student Handbook.
    We believe strongly in teaching for mastery learning. This approach assigns the responsibility for understanding concepts and performance at the ninety per cent proficiency level. Quizzes must be made-up by the students until the ninety per cent level is attained. It is our belief that moving away from the notion that 60% is passing is a necessary departure for the modern day learner. Making errors is understandable, but we feel it necessary to insure the learners fully understand the concepts and content of this course to continue their development as learners and performers. Quizzes are not graded on a percentage basis. Once proficiency has been attained, students receive credit. Failure to achieve proficiency will result in no credit given for that assignment.
Grading Policy
The means of calculating one's grade will be objective and easily measured.
Participation points– Every class session will be worth five points. If you come to class, bring all materials, follow the rules, and participate, you earn five points. Absences, "sitting out", or arriving late will cause in the loss of these points.
Assignments – Daily and/or weekly work with point values assigned per instructor.
Quizzes – Singing, playing, or written quizzes with point
values assigned per instructor.
At the end of a marking period, grades are calculated by simply dividing your number of points by the number of points possible. That percentage is your grade.
Semester grades are calculated by valuing each of the three marking periods as 30% and the semester exam as 10%.
EXTRA CREDIT is available for up to 50% of a marking
period grade. A suggested list of projects and approved activities will
be available from your instructor.
Sheet Music
All music handed out to students for classroom use is to be considered as your textbook. There will be space available for students to keep their materials in the classroom. To complete your work for each class and receive your points, your folder must be returned to its appropriate space at the end of every class session. In cases where a student would like to take music home, it must be signed out on the posted list each day it is taken. If music is not present and not signed out after class, the student loses his/her points for that day.
As stated earlier, students need their folders, pencils, materials, and music every day.
Students who lose or damage music will need to cover the cost of its replacement. Pending payment, an unfinished business form will be submitted to the bookkeeper. When the debt is resolved, the student will be issued more music to use.
These fees must be paid before the next performance, or the student will
have an unexcused absence from that performance.
All students will be supplied with a concert uniform. Most performances will require this concert dress.
Choir students will need a white shirt with a collar. All pants, skirts, socks, and shoes must be completely black. Ladies who wear skirts will need to wear black nylons. This is all dress attire. Tennis shoes, jeans, and sandals are not appropriate.
Instrumental students dress in concert black. Ladies, you will be assigned concert dresses, you provide black hosiery and closed toe shoes. Gentlemen, you will be assigned a tuxedo, you provide a tuxedo shirt, black socks and black shoes. It is acceptable for male band students to use their marching shoes for concert season.
Students who do not dress properly for a performance will not be permitted
to perform, resulting in an unexcused absence. Any questions regarding
uniform should be posed to the instructor before the evening of the concert.
Jackson High School Music Department
A major element in all music education is performance. Individual, small
and large group performances are scheduled throughout the year and students
are expected to participate as a part of their continuing progress and
education. We at Jackson High School would like to stress the importance
of attendance at all scheduled performances.

"i hope there's a chaser..."
Great job Chelsea, I very much enjoyed your book, but much more to hear you read it. It just made the experience even more enjoyable - what a funny gal ! The whole transaction of downloading books from Audible was way too easy and the customer assistance I needed was fast and direct - thank you all -
This was a good read, rather - listen, because I really felt during her youth, I could have been there with her - I was even able to place myself in her shoes a couple times...scarey. And who knew one could be " face raped " . I had fun going on your visit to France and decided that dining with " my tickets" on table won't happen nor will I get a massage anywhere that doesn't give " happy endings" . I had fun and now I am off to order my next book -
"a clever title, but a real disappointment"
i thought this might be on par with david sedaris or hollis gillespie. you know, funny and insightful stories told by people you wish you could befriend.
i did chuckle a couple of times, but overall i find her humor shallow, grating, and lacking in redeeming qualities.
"Not very funny"
I was expecting at least a few chuckles but the book was rather slow-moving and vapid. Wish I hadn't spent my credit on it.
"Funny Lady Great book"
Buy it!
"A must!"
If you love Chelsea Handler and her show Chelsea Lately, this audiobook will not disappoint. I loved that not only was she writer, but also the narrator. Her different voices that she uses for different characters in her book are hysterical! She is sarcastic and funny and a great writer. Once I started listening, I couldn't stop!
"I get Chelsea..."
I think you have to have a certain type of sense of humor to enjoy this book. It's probably not for everyone. For me, it was perfect. I often found myself cracking up by myself in my cubicle, pulling over on the freeway because I was laughing so hard I was crying, and pausing my ipod in the airport so I didn't look like a crazy person when I started to laugh aloud. I didn't really know who Chelsea Handler was until I downloaded this book, but now I'm DVR'ing her show every night. Can a book be too funny?...this one almost is.
"If you enjoy Chelsea Lately..."
...then listen to this book! If you do not enjoy Chelsea Handler's style of humor, then go find something else to listen too. Duh. I laughed out loud multiple times, and many of my peers at the gym think I am crazy, I'm sure. Regardless, I did enjoy this book. The key to Chelsea's humor is: (almost) nothing is off limits.
It was like a 6-hour Chelsea Lately marathon...I liked that Chelsea was not only the author, but also the narrator. The book really made me laugh.
"What a hoot!"
I loved this book! I had to quit reading it on the bus because I found myself laughing out loud! Chelsea reminds me of a young Kathy Griffin.
"don't waste your book credit"
I was hoping for a good laugh when I purchased this book, but it was a waste of a credit. She is not funny, her storys are really boring, and her voice is horrible to listen to for long periods of time.

The Magic Cafe, 110 Magdalen Road, Oxford OX4 1RQ
Tucked away on the south side of Oxford, in a triangulate town and gown estate that is commonly referred to as "The Mystical Triangle", The Magic Cafe is a throwback to the 60′s beards-and-sandals type of vegetarianism and would equal, and better, anything found in that other hippy hypercentre: Glastonbury High Street.
The vegetarian menu in The Magic Cafe changes each day. When I visited it recently there was a Tibetan Chickpea Soup, a large tray of fresh Sushi and a Leak and Potato (and cheese) Bake, as well as a good selection of salad dishes.The vegan Tibetan Chickpea Soup was smooth and slightly spiced, warming and tasty. The two side salads I had, the Chickpea and Cous Cous, and the Green Salad with hand drizzled oils, were both fresh and enjoyable.
Lunch at the Magic Cafe was a pleasant experience – good food, a relaxed atmosphere, nice staff, a mix of alternative locals, students and lecturers alike. I would assume that most of their footfall is from Oxford's vibrant term-time student population, eager for some good cheap alternative food and a cool, local and alternative venue for live music.
The Magic Cafe sits in a triangle wedge of houses starting from Oxford's Magdalen Bridge and defined by the Iffley Road and Cowley Road, both of these streets deserve a further look. Cowley Road is particularly interesting with a lot of multicultural restaurants and eating places – including a Rastafarian Cafe with vegan options, a Russian Bar, a new Japanese restaurant, as well as Italian, Polish and Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Chinese restaurants – that's a lot of choice for this seasonal student market.In the centre of the triangle, as well as The Magic Cafe, there is the joss stick scented, mystic oriented, bookshop next door, and, opposite, the weirdly named "Rusty Bicycle" pub – all pointing to a nucleus of hippy culture formed in a supportive 60′s Oxford environment years ago.
The Magic Cafe is a pleasant local vegetarian cafe and is worth a visit if you are a vegetarian or student and you live in the south of Oxford; or, maybe, if you are visiting Oxford, fancy a nice light lunch and would be up for a slightly long "Park-and-Walk" into Oxford's city centre via Magdalen Bridge.

As a native of Oxford who lives in Coventry, I'm not sure about the 'nucleus of hippy culture formed in a supportive 60's Oxford environment years ago'. A stereotypical and inaccurate view of my former home city. The Magic Cafe wasn't there in the 80′s never mind the 60′s. When I visited it a few years ago, it was definitely laid back though. I asked for something vegan and it was like, 'er well yeah, the soup might be'. How can you resist an offer like that?
The one thing that hasn't changed on Magdalen Road is Giovanni's barber's shop which must be run by his grandson by now; it was run by his son why I used to get my barnet cut there. The Inner Bookshop used to be located on the Cowley Road, which has always been a bit of a dive – a 'multicultural' dive in modern PC parlance – but still a dive. Still it used to have a half-decent second hand record shop called (I think) Vinyl 3345, where I built up my collection of Buzzcocks records.
Yes, the Iffley Road, just up from which I went to secondary school, is also part of the 'bohemian' slumlord-owned bedsitland. Think the bottom end of Earlsdon and you get the picture of the area. This 'mystical triangle' – the first time I have ever heard it as that – is not as bad a place to live as Blackbird Leys, but I much prefer living up here in Cov, as it is a much better place to live in terms of the standard of living you can get for the same money, re housing costs etc.

Midlothian ice hockey team shoots past Arlington Wild
The Ellis County Press
MIDLOTHIAN - Midlothian faced the Arlington Wild in hockey last Thursday at Duncanville.
Midlothian's first of two goals in the first period came from a Chris Green assist to Brent Jones.
The second score resulted from a Brent Jones assist to Micah Koutros giving the Panthers a 2-1 lead after the first period.
The Panthers scored two goals in the second before Arlington was able to score again with 3:25 left in the second period.
This would be Arlington's last score of the game as their offense struggled in the third period leading to an overworked Arlington defense.
Midlothian jumped at the chance to run up the score.
With 9:56 left in the third, Hardy Walker and Joey Aprile assisted Brent Jones in his third goal of the night.
The last two goals of the game for Midlothian were both scored by Micah Koutros.
The first came at 8:30 left with assists from Tyler Hervey and Matt Bassett.
The final goal of the game was the result of assists from Hardy Walker and Joey Aprile for Koutros' fourth goal of the game and an 8-2 victory for Midlothian.

Use and Abuse in Irrigated Areas
are used widely to control insects, weeds and fungi, that might
otherwise destroy a large part of the world's food crops. They are
also used in many countries to control insect vectors of human diseases
such as malaria.
has been estimated that at least three million cases of pesticide
poisoning occur worldwide each year, with 220,000 deaths. The majority
of these poisonings occur in developing countries where less protection
against exposure is applied, knowledge of health risks and safe
use is limited and harmful pesticides are easily accessible. Despite
the magnitude of the problem of pesticide poisoning, there have
been very few analytical studies in developing countries to identify
the risk factors.
dangers of pesticide use to human health can be summarized as:
Sri Lanka, pesticide poisoning is often identified by farmers and
health workers as the primary health concern in irrigated areas.
The high use of pesticides in irrigation schemes makes the study
of pesticide-related health problems especially relevant to irrigation
IWMI has done
studies to analyze the reasons for the high number of pesticide
poisoning cases and to explore ways of controlling the problem through
changes in agricultural practices and community involvement. More
recently, research has focused on risk factors for pesticide poisoning
and on the impact that a shift towards Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) will have on human health.

Rick Leach
Richard Max "Rick" Leach (born May 4, 1957) is a former college football player and professional baseball player. He played quarterback at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 1978. Leach later played in Major League Baseball for four different teams primarily as a backup outfielder and first baseman from 1981 to 1990. In 2008, Leach was elected to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. Leach was a star quarterback at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 1978 under legendary coach Bo Schembechler. He was the first NCAA Division I FBS player to pass for 200 points and score 200 points. He continues to hold the NCAA record for highest percentage of passes for touchdowns (400-499 attempts) with 45 in 462. A left-hander, he was given the starting job before his freshman year and held it until he graduated four years later. In his freshman year, with the Big Ten championship and a berth to the 1976 Rose Bowl on the line in the Michigan-Ohio State game, Leach threw an interception that was run back to the Michigan 3-yard line by Ray Griffin and set up the winning touchdown in a 21-14 Buckeye victory. However, Leach and the Wolverines never lost to Ohio State again in his career. One of  ( Wikipedia article )

I recently discovered this new podcast. It was originally started by Rob Conery (TekPub), who was quickly joined by Scott Hanselman. It's billed as a geek equivalent to the This American Life. Rather than focus on code, it deals with experiences that are common to most developers, such as getting fired (hopefully not too common!), audacity, motivation, management, competition, obsession etc. One of the more interesting episodes is called Revolt and explores how inventive Egyptian developers used technology to help in the recent revolution.

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Original Exhaust System Removal
Note: With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all exhaust fasteners and allowing a significant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before attempting to disassemble.
1. Lubricate hangers and rubber isolators on the rear mufflers.
2. Loosen the passenger side ball-clamp behind the rear axle pipe and carefully remove right-side muffler from hangars.Do not discard clamps as they willbe used for installation of your new exhaust.
(See Fig. 1)
3. Repeat above step for left-side muffler. (See Fig. 2)
Warning: Use extreme caution during installation. Torque all fasteners according to manufacturer's torque values and tightening sequence.DO NOTuse air impact tools to tighten fasteners on BorlaPerformance Exhaust Systems. Use of such tools may result in bent flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.
Borla Performance Exhaust System Installation
1. Insert the expanded end of the (driver-side) L/H muffler assembly into OE ball clamp and install the hangers into the rubber isolators. (See Fig. 3)
2. Repeat step 2 for the installation of the (passenger-side) R/H muffler assembly.
3. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for tip alignment. (See Figs. 4)
4. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the Accuseal™ clamps to 32-35 ft. lbs.
5. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses, brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.
6. Start vehicle and check for any leaks. If any leaks are found, determine cause (such as loose or incorrectly positioned clamp) and repair as necessary.
Note: When you first start your vehicle after the installation of your new Borla Performance Exhaust System, there may be some smoke and fumes coming from the system. This is a protective oil based coating used in the manufacturing of mandrel bent performance exhaust tubing. This is not a problem and will disappear within a very short period of time after the exhaust has reached normal operating temperatures.
Congratulations!!!You have completed the installation of the world famous Borla Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust System.

text: 16 October 2013 Places for Wolves Posted by: John Motsinger | 6 comments | Share: We often talk about the need to restore more wolves in more places. But where would these wolves actually live? Earlier this year we published an updated version of our "Places for Wolves" report that answers that very question, and Wolf Awareness Week is a good opportunity to dive a little deeper. The report includes a series of documents that lay out Defenders' case for continued wolf recovery all across the United States. In the foundation document, we discuss the history of wolves and Defenders' role in bringing these majestic animals back to the landscape. Then in our vision document, we outline a blueprint for restoring more wolves to the lower 48. In each region we highlight the potential and the challenges for bringing wolves back. (See Reporter Resources for the full report.) A wolf in the North Cascades in Washington. Pacific Northwest (See factsheet with map) Potential: The Olympic Peninsula, Siskiyou Mountains and Sierra Nevada Mountains offer excellent wolf habitat. Challenges: Intolerance from some ranchers has increased in recent years, putting pressure on state wildlife managers to lethally remove wolves that are involved in livestock conflicts. Fortunately, Oregon and Washington both have strong state management plans on the books, and California will likely follow with a plan of its own to protect the future of wolves in the state. Connectivity is also becoming a greater concern as wolf numbers in the Northern Rockies are being driven down. Southern Rockies (See factsheet with map) Potential: Colorado is home to 300,000 elk and some of the best remaining wolf habitat in the entire country. The Uinta Mountains of Utah and parts of northern Arizona and New Mexico provide key linkages to other wolf populations. According to statewide polling, 71 percent of Coloradans want wolves restored to their state. A feasibility study conducted at the behest of Congress for the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that Colorado could provide a home for more than 1000 wolves. Challenges: Now that Wyoming has allowed wolves to be shot on sight year-round across more than 80 percent of the state, it could be virtually impossible for northern gray wolves to make it to Colorado on their own. Aggressive hunting and trapping all across the Northern Rockies makes it unlikely that wolves will get to Utah either. Further, spurred on by the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Utah has a law on the books barring the return of wolves once federal protections are removed. Northern Rockies (See factsheet with map) Potential: Studies have estimated that the current biological carrying capacity of the Northern Rockies could be as high as 5,000 wolves or more. However, we have already seen that the social intolerance toward wolves among politically powerful groups has pushed state agencies to manage for significantly lower numbers. Challenges: With Idaho, Montana and Wyoming already pursuing aggressive hunting and trapping, it will be an ongoing challenge just to maintain current wolf population levels. All three states plan to continue driving numbers down and they are allowed to do so under the US Fish and Wildlife's minimum standards requiring only 100 – 150 wolves per state. Wolves cannot fulfill their ecological role if their numbers decline to these levels. This map shows potential expansion areas for Mexican gray wolves into the Grand Canyon Ecoregion. Southwest (See factsheet with map) Potential: The ecoregion surrounding and including Grand Canyon National Park has excellent wolf habitat. Smaller pockets of habitat can also be found in northern New Mexico and west Texas. Challenges: Despite strong public support, there is very vocal opposition to restoring Mexican wolves outside of the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. There are only about 75 individual wolves across New Mexico and Arizona. Keeping wolf numbers so low has only exacerbated genetic issues that resulted from the wolves' earlier brush with extinction. Great Lakes (See factsheet with map) Potential: The Great Lakes gray wolf population is the largest in the lower 48 and is well connected to Canadian populations. Challenges: Wolves in this region have been delisted and are now being managed by the states but there are concerns, most notably among tribal communities, that some state wolf hunting plans are too aggressive. We will continue to monitor the population to ensure it remains healthy. Northeast (See factsheet with map) Potential: Northern Maine and upstate New York have good wolf habitat that could support smaller populations of wolves dispersing from Canada. Challenges: The St. Lawrence River creates a natural barrier that might prevent wolves recolonizing the Northeast from Canada. Further studies need to be conducted to determine support for reintroducing wolves. 6 Responses to "Places for Wolves" belen ordoñez October 16th, 2013 HAY QUE PRESERVAR A LOBO FORMA PARTE DE NUESTRA CULTURA MILENARIA DEL HOMBRE Y DE LA TIERRA NO EXTINGAIS A LOS LOBOS¡¡¡ DEJARLES EN SU MEDIO HABITAT RESPETAD AMAR Y SEREIS UN PAIS HONORABLE Reply Rose Serrano October 16th, 2013 Luchemos y apoyemos para preservar y reubicar a los Lobos en lugares que puedan vivir y nosotros que amamos a estos animales seguir pidiendo por leyes que los protejan Reply Cmdr. Humphrey M. Dimitrov October 17th, 2013 Stop the wolf hunting. They gave us dogs, mans best friend. We owe them everything. STOP THE HUNTINGS!!! Reply Waldo Montgomery October 25th, 2013 . National forests and all public lands, in my opinion, belong to this nation's wildlife—first and foremost, and to "We the People," that's you and me— secondarily. Ranchers lease public land to graze their non-native livestock, and few avail themselves of government and non-profit assistance for non-lethal proactive measures to avoid depredations. As stewards of our public land, government agencies should require and enforce compliance of non-lethal proactive measures such as removal of dead cattle by livestock owners—but they don't. Gray wolves are being made scapegoats for human failure. Reply Benton Lunt October 26th, 2013 Have you guys considered the needs of hunters who have hunted big game for centuries? I personally use the meat year round to sustain me and my family of 3. The proposed plans by fanatatic agencies and extreme radicals calls for an extremely large population of carnivores with man left out of the picture. Populations of ungulates would be so low that hunting by man would be unsustainable. Why not call for sound management of wolves so others with a different point of view can enjoy thier lifestyle also. Don't get me wrong, the wolf has every right to be here too! With that said, humans should be part of the equation. Lets use sound science to manage game populations by Biologists that are educated and unbiased.

The market is currently flooded with various small truck models. Most of them boast of amazing power, but not all score well on the mileage front. With the economy facing a crisis when it comes to the fuel prices, it is better to look for small truck models with the best mileage. Here is a look at some of the best gas mileage small truck models.
The first one is the Ford Ranger Short Bed STX. This one is a 2-door pickup truck with space for up to 3-passenger. The truck is equipped with a standard 2.3-liter I4 engine that produces up to 143-horsepower. The truck gives a 24-Mpg while driving in the city; on the highway the Mpg goes up to 29.
Its 16-Valve, MPFI Engine with DOHC produces a Torque of 154. Also the engine has an Alloy Block and Alloy Cylinder Head with the capacity of 3.2 liter. The cylinders have an in-line configuration and have 2 valves per cylinder.
The truck comes with a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive. However you can choose a 5 speed automatic transmission, but it does not have an overdrive option.
Another model that has Mpg at par with the Ford Ranger Short Bed STX, is the Mazda B2300 B-Series. The Mazda B2300 B-Series is a 4-door compact pick up with space for up to 5-passengers. It has a standard 2.3-liter, I4 engine that produces 143-horsepower and a 154 torque. The engine is efficient enough to produce a Mpg of 24 in the city. On the other hand the engine has an incredible 29-Mpg when the truck travels on the highway
Like the Ford ranger, the Mazda B2300 has a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive and has an optional 5-speed automatic transmission. The difference here is that the automatic transmission comes with an overdrive option.
These two models are known for their higher mileage as compared to the other popular small truck models. There are many other models with a considerably less, but a good enough mileage. One of these models is the Toyota Tacoma I-4 with a manual transmission. It gets a 23 Mpg while in the city and on the highway it goes up to 28 Mpg.
Then there is the Chevrolet Trailblazer with a 5.3L engine and a 4-speed auto transmission, that has a Mpg of 13 on the city roads and 19 on the highway. However the Trailblazer's 4.2L engine model with a 4-speed auto transmission has a Mpg of 14 in the city roads and 20 on the highway.
If you are looking for the best gas mileage small truck you can undoubtedly rely upon any of the picks discussed above.

An excerpt:
...Those 88 defendants were on the other side of the campus, far removed from the site of the Commencement. They are subjected by Notre Dame to the criminal process because they came, as individuals, to Notre Dame to pray, peacefully and non-obstructively, on this ordinarily open campus, in petition and reparation, as a response to what they rightly saw as a facilitation by Notre Dame of various objectively evil policies and programs of Notre Dame's honoree, President Obama. Those persons, whom Notre Dame has subjected to legal process as criminals, are neither statistics nor abstractions. Let me tell you about a few of them.The disgraceful arrest of Fr. Norman Weslin, described by Mr. Rice above, is depicted here:
Fr. Norman Weslin, O.S., 79 years old and in very poor health, was handcuffed by Notre Dame Security Police as he sang "Immaculate Mary" on the campus sidewalk near the entrance. He asked them, "Why would you arrest a Catholic priest for trying to stop the killing of a baby?" The NSDP officers put him on a pallet and dragged him away to jail. St. Joseph County Police were also there. I urge you to watch the readily available videos of Fr. Weslin's arrest. If you do, I will be surprised and disappointed if you are not personally and deeply ashamed.
Such treatment of such a priest may be the lowest point in the entire history of Notre Dame. You would profit from knowing Fr. Weslin. Notre Dame should give Fr. Weslin the Laetare Medal rather than throw him in jail. Norman Weslin, born to poor Finnish immigrants in upper Michigan, finished high school at age 17 and joined the Army. He converted from the Lutheran to the Catholic faith and married shortly after earning his commission. He became a paratrooper and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the 82nd Airborne Division, obtaining his college degree enroute. After a distinguished career, he retired in 1968. As the legalization of abortion intensified, he and his wife, Mary Lou, became active pro-lifers in Colorado. In 1980, Mary Lou was killed by a drunk driver. Norman personally forgave the young driver. Norman Weslin was later ordained as a Catholic priest, worked with Mother Teresa in New York and devoted himself to the rescue of unborn children through nonviolent, prayerful direct action at abortuaries. In 1990 at Christmastime, I was privileged to defend Fr. Weslin and his Lambs of Christ when they were arrested at the abortuary in South Bend. One does not have to agree with the tactic of direct, non-violent action at abortuaries to have the utmost admiration, as I have, for Fr. Weslin and his associates. At Notre Dame, Fr. Weslin engaged in no obstruction or disruption. He merely sought to pray for the unborn on the ordinarily open campus of a professedly Catholic university. The theme of Notre Dame's honoring of Obama was "dialogue." It would have been better for you and the complicit Fellows and Trustees to dialogue with Fr. Weslin rather than lock him up as a criminal. You all could have learned something from him. His actions in defense of innocent life and the Faith have been and are heroic. Notre Dame's treatment of Fr. Weslin is a despicable disgrace, the responsibility for which falls directly and personally upon yourself as the President of Notre Dame.
The other "criminals" stigmatized by Notre Dame include many whom this university should honor rather than oppress. One is Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, who has become pro-life and a Catholic actively trying to spread the word about abortion. Those "criminals" include retired professors, retired military officers, mothers of many children, a Catholic nun in full habit, Christian pastors, several Ph.Ds, and Notre Dame grads. They are, in summary, "the salt of the earth." They came, on their own, at their own expense, and not as part of any "conspiracy," from 18 states. They came because they love what Notre Dame claims to represent. They themselves do represent it. But one has to doubt whether Notre Dame does so anymore.
Clearly, Notre Dame should do all it can to obtain the dismissal of those criminal charges. This has nothing to do with one's opinion of the tactics of rescue at abortuaries. It is simply a matter of you, as President, doing the manifestly right thing...Full Text

Hi all,
I'm new here and decided to join/post. I'm excited to talk with other people going through some of the same feelings and dealings that go with this wait. I'm soon to be 33, my partner is 28 and we are about a year (July/Aug 2010) from ttc #1. Unfortunately I'm less patient emotionally with this wait. It's logical to wait, but my emotions get the best of me sometimes. I'm surrounded by new moms, pregnant friends etc. It does get a little hard when I just want it to be a year from now! I try not to let myself feel that way too often, but at least a few days a month it gets the best of me. Anyways--Thanks for reading.

That's a nice story about heading over seas and staying ;o)
I haven't been to Canada or Australia--I live in Oregon. It makes sense to wait until after your trip, I can see why you are doing that. Your trip will be so much fun. What a nice vacation before starting a family. Its' nice you have that to look forward to! We are doing some US travel this summer, mostly for visiting family. With pets we usually don't stay gone longer than a week at a time....but it's enjoyable to get away anytime! I actually will be leaving town this week to visit my parents for a week, which will be nice.
And yes, the pregnant coworkers/friends etc...you are so happy for them, but for me there's always this little bit of envy (fortunately that does not consume me).
Have a great weekend.

Hi and welcome! This board is pretty cool!
Aussie: I'm about to turn 28 and hubby is 40, what a coincidence! :)

Hi Melissa,
So we are on a similar time line :o) that's exciting. Do you find yourself wanting it to get here so quickly? I worry I'm going to be looking so forward to next year that I'm going to forget to enjoy this year!
The primary reason for our wait is basically financial. I'm paying off my credit card debt, he is putting money away/building his business. We talked last week as I wanted to move the ttc date up to this fall...good thing he's so grounded and logical because we've been planning next year for a while and I was ready to throw all the logic out the door and just say let's go! My monthly hormone cycle doesn't help either--I know when I'm ovulating so it plays mind games on me (I have an IUD for BC)....
Anyways, thanks for the response. I think this board will help my year wait as it's hard to discuss this with my pregnant friends and my new mom friends because i don't want to sound 'jealous/envious' of them.

A Special Salsa for Cinco Weekend
This medley of creamy avocado, crunchy corn and juicy tomatillos has a light, delightfully fresh taste. Its chunky texture makes a colorful topper for grilled fish, fish tacos or chicken, and it's simply divine in a big burrito salad bowl. Or keep things simple and scoop it up with something substantial and crunchy, like a tortilla chip, a slice of cucumber or a stalk of celery.
While this recipe makes about 4 cups of salsa, if you're serving salsa (or avocado) lovers, you might want to double up!
This salsa is perfect for your Cinco de Mayo weekend festivities. (Or plan a special menu around this salsa — if you're an avocado lover, you know what we mean!)
Avocado, Corn and Tomatillo Salsa
- Serves 8 (makes about 4 cups of salsa)
- 2 Ripe Earthbound Farm Organic Avocados (peeled, pitted and diced)
- 2/3 cup Fresh corn kernels, from about 1 ear
- (or frozen Earthbound Farm Organic Sweet Corn, thawed)
- 1 Ripe Earthbound Farm Organic Tomato (small size, diced)
- 1/2 cup Diced fresh tomatillos
- 1/4 cup Finely diced Earthbound Farm Organic Red Onion
- 1 Red or green jalapeño (seeded and finely diced, or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Minced fresh Earthbound Farm Organic Cilantro (or Italian parsley)
- 1-1/2 tablespoons Avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Place the avocado, corn, tomato, tomatillos, onion, jalapeño and cilantro in a bowl.
- In another small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice and salt. Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and stir gently to coat. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
Note: AOL Food has a neat little video about buying and preparing fresh tomatillos here. You'll find them in well-stocked markets, peaking in the summertime. For this recipe, you'll use your tomatillos raw.

I-25 work should begin this fall
Construction work to modernize and improve Interstate 25 between First Street and the Ilex Street intersection will get underway this fall and the entire $78 million project should be completed by August 2017.
The improvements will mean a new highway interchange at both First Street and Ilex, as well as a widening of the interstate, new sound barriers and other upgrades.
Dave Garcia, project manager for the Colorado Department of Transportation, gave an overview of the coming work to the Pueblo Downtown Association at its monthly meeting Thursday.
Garcia said CDOT has narrowed the list of qualified contractors to three, and will make the final decision in early summer.

Thousands of teachers demonstrated in Mexico City and some scuffled with police keeping them away from President Enrique Pena Nieto's residence, a day after he signed a controversial education reform.
Anti-riot police fortified the area around the Los Pinos residence on Wednesday to keep protesters at bay, with police saying about 12,000 teachers caused huge traffic jams as they marched across the city. Police fired teargas as clashes erupted around the residence.
Some 80 officers used their shields to block advancing protesters, raising tensions with both sides pushing one another and coming to blows. Protesters had largely dispersed by the early hours of Thursday.
A delegation from a dissident teachers' union was allowed to go into the resident but came out disappointed after they were received by low-level officials.
Striking teachers have camped out in the central Zocalo square for the past three weeks and held several protests that have angered residents frustrated by the traffic jams.
But the teachers failed to stop Congress from passing the reforms, which he signed into law on Tuesday.
The law strips the power of unions over education and requires teachers to undergo mandatory performance evaluations to get jobs and promotions.
The teachers argue that the national test fails to take into account indigenous students, who learn native languages before Spanish.
Juan Garcia, a leader of the National Education Workers Coordinator (CNTE) union, said the teachers want "the population to join the struggle" against the reform.
The union has not indicated whether it would vacate the Zocalo before Mexico's independence day celebration this weekend. City authorities have refrained from using force to remove the teachers.
The president traditionally delivers the "Cry of Independence" on the night of September 15 from the balcony of the National Palace, facing the Zocalo. A military parade is held at the square the next day.

Posts Tagged: Agraulis vanillae
Greeting the Gulf Fritillary
Ah, the Gulf Fritillary...
We spotted this orange-reddish butterfly nectaring lantana last Saturday near downtown Vacaville. In fact, the patch of lantana (family Verbenaceae) drew assorted butterflies, including buckeyes, alfalfa, monarchs, and painted ladies. A few honey bees and native bees tried to get their share.
Lantana and Gulf Frits. These multi-colored blossoms and the multi-colored butterfly, both found in the tropics and subtropics, are a study in brilliance.
On his website, butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, says the Gulf Frit (Agraulis vanillae) was introduced into southern California in the 19th century, and was first recorded in the Bay Area before 1908. Once prevalent in the Sacramento area in the 1960s, it "seems to have died out by the early 1970s," he said.
Then in 2009, it began making a comeback in the Sacramento area.
Now it appears to be thriving in some areas, at least where its adopted host plant, the passion flower vine (genus Passiflora), grows. If you have a passion flower vine in your yard, you may very well see the spiny orange-and-black caterpillars feeding on the leaves. And if you have lantana or Mexican sunflower (Tithonia) in your yard, don't be surprised if a few adults drop by for a sip of nectar.
No wonder that commercial companies mass-rear these exotic-looking butterflies for release at weddings, garden parties and other social events.

Grateful for the Gulf Frits!
In the bug world, we're all grateful for the people who study insects, monitor them, and share information to impart scientific data and help save declining species.
Take butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of ecology and evolution at the University of California, Davis (of Art's Butterfly World).
How he does it, we'll never know, but he has monitored butterflies in the area for more than three decades and knows when a population is declining or increasing.
On a trip to Vacaville on Nov. 12, Shapiro discovered six gulf fritillaries (Agraulis vanillae) in gardens on Buck Avenue, and one at the base of Gates Canyon (that's only the second he's seen; the first he saw in May of 1984).
That's great news!
"I suspect the colony has expanded into the upscale hillside neighborhood off Foothill but had no time to go looking," Shapiro commented.
Meanwhile, he says, there are fewer gulf frits in Sacramento this year than in the last two years.
The gulf frit is one of the showiest butterflies in California. The bright orange-red butterfly, with a wingspan that can reach four inches, was first recorded in the Bay Area before 1908. Shapiro says it became established there only in the 1950s.
The last time we saw gulf frits in Vacaville was a couple of months ago, on Sept. 14. They were all over a passionflower vine (Passiflora)--the adults, the pupae, the larvae and the eggs--in a Buck Avenue garden. Later we saw several nectaring lantana.
Now they appear to be expanding their territory in Vacaville.
We all ought to be attracting them! The larval hosts include passionflower vines, such as the maypop (Passiflora incarnata), blue passionflower (P. caerulea), and corky-stemmed passionflower (P. suberosa). As an adult, the gulf frit nectars on such plants as lantana (Lantana camara), tall verbena (Verbena bonariensis), pentas (Pentas lanceolata), drummond phlox (Phlox drummondi) and something called "tread softly" (Cnidosculous stimulosus).

Gulf Frit Making a Comeback
The Gulf Frit is definitely back.
Back in September of 2009, butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, excitedly announced the re-appearance of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) in the Sacramento metropolitan area after a four-decade absence, and in the Davis area after a 30-year absence.
It's a tropical and subtropical butterfly with a range that extends from the southern United States all the way to central Argentina.
The Gulf Frit is a beautiful butterfly with bright orange-red wings, spangled iridescent silver on the underside, and a four-inch wingspan.
The larvae or caterpillars of the Agraulis vanillae feed on the leaves of the passion flower vine; they eat "many but not all species of the genus Passiflora," Shapiro says. "There are no native members of this genus in the state of California, but several are widely cultivated in gardens."
No one knows exactly when the first Gulf Frit first arrived in California, but "it was already in the San Diego area by about 1875, Shapiro says, and it was first recorded in the San Francisco Bay Area around 1908.
The showy butterfly colonized both south Sacramento and the Winding Way/Auburn Boulevard area in the 1960s but by 1971 "apparently became extinct or nearly so," recalled Shapiro, who moved to the Davis area in 1971.
The butterfly can breed where there is a "critical mass" of these plants in a town or neighborhood," he told us back in 2009.
Well, there's a thriving passion flower vine behind a west Vacaville residence that makes one think: "Critical mass!"
On one recent sunny afternoon, we spotted about 10 to 12 Gulf Frits breeding on the vine. Squadrons of brightly colored orange and black caterpillars munched on the leaves.
Yes, the Gulf Frit is alive and well.
Very alive and very well.
So if you have a passion for the Gulf Frit, plant Passiflora.
Plant it and they may come.

Good for the price

Comments about Nashbar Soho Pedals:
I bought these for my 10 year old son for his first spd pedal and he really likes them. I notice that when we ride he has trouble clipping in at times and that's still after I have reduced the tension on the pedal. as a whole they work well with his SPD shoes on our fast paced training rides and they work well with his regular sneakers on just the platform side for riding to school.I would purchase these again for my younger son's as they grow into needing SPD's.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Okay Pedal at Good Price
By Ron
from Carbondale, CO
Lightweight, works well, and inexpensive. Not clear how well the composite material will hold up over time, but worked well for me on a 200 mile trip with loaded bike a few days after I got them. Biggest drawback is lack of a place to apply a pedal wrench. Can only be installed and removed with a 6mm hex wrench. I bought them for my Bike Friday folder and must remove/re-install every time I pack the bike into Samsonite case to fly with me a luggage. (pretty often, actually.) If the pedal ever "freezes into the crank, this could make it difficult to remove.
Nice pedal for the price
By Tnvol
from Wichita KS
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I put these on my MTB that is primarily used for bike paths and family outings. I like the option to go SPD or casual depending on the ride.
A steal
By Weekend-warrior / casual rider w family
from Suburbia, New Jersey
Bought these for a vacation so everyone could ride casually without having to wear dedicated SPD shoes, but also so that we could ride more aggressively with SPDs if we wanted. The pedal is lighter than all-metal equivalents. I price-compared versus another online store, and these pedals were a steal. So far, I'm very pleased.
Really nice pedals
By JiggaPooh
from New York
Bought these for my wife along with Nashbar Pro R Road Shoes because she didn't feel like a real cyclist without them... she still isn't.Back to the pedals... easy to install, first set of pedals that didn't require a pedal wrench. Very versatile, I like the option of flipping them over and using a regular sneaker if you were just going on a short ride or running out for a minute.Very much considering buying another pair for my mountain bike.
Awesome pedals for your City Bike!
By PJ the Swim Coach
from Tampa, FL
About Me Commuter
I love these pedals for their looks and versitility. I need to commute in regular running shoes during the week, so having a light weight, quality pedal was important. However, because these reverse into clip-ins, I can use my cycling shoes on my weekend rides. They were easy to install, and are very light.
Good value!
By Burleyman
from Florida
After trying 3 other dual-purpose pedals, finally found a set I find acceptable.
Great pedal
By Barry
from Racine, WI
Bought two sets of these pedals, one for my wife and one for my 13yr old. So far the pedals are awesome. Light weight and convenient. Great pedal. I do recommend these.
Works Great
By MMAN
from Chesapeake VA
I am just getting back into cycling and reluctantly had to replace my toe clips. These work great ! Can still use street shoes in a pinch and works great at learning to use these clip less pedals with a new set of shoes also. I have already recommended these pedals to friends.
easy to install; no wrench needed
By the orange rider
from Chesapeake, VA
I had been using double sided mountain pedals for my road riding for years. I wanted to try single sided with a platform for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to wear a regular shoe (sandal, sneaker etc.) for casual neighborhood riding. Secondly, when I "unclick" while riding I didn't want to pedal on my heels and I didn't want to "click" in again by accident.Well, I have only worn sneakers once, just to see, and the pedals worked fine like that. I still "unclick" one foot and pedal with my heel, old habits are hard to break.These pedals are so much lighter than my old two sided and they have worked well so far. I did not give 5 stars because I have no idea how they will hold up. The pedals they replaced were six years old (20 000 plus miles) and still work fine.
