PPT Follow-Up Questions
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 03-29-2010 - 5:44pm
For the past several weeks my son who is almost 5 1/2 was being evaluated by the school and I got the reports on Friday; I have been in a trance ever since, however, the follow-up PPT meeting is tomorrow morning at 9am.
|Tue, 03-30-2010 - 12:59am
Hugs to you! You are certainly not the first person to have had this experience!
They SHOULD be listing strengths, and not just intellect. Remember you don't have to sign anything at this meeting. Even if you don't agree with what is said but do agree to the plan, you still don't have to leave it that way in his permanent record. As an example, a friend who was going through an evaluation with her autistic son had to say "Fix this or I am not signing." They had put in the report that the boy lived with his mother AND father, when in fact he only lived with his mother. This was a big deal to her because she gets help with her rental and the father is not supposed to be there. She also had to have them put in a few other things about the boy and his strengths.
It may be a good idea to go into the meeting with the idea that you want time to think this all over - use the excuse that the report presents issues that you have not seen before. Don't let them pressure you with the "if you sign today he will get services next week - if you wait it will be even longer." If you feel strongly that the report is biased, question it. Take some time and talk to other people (dad, grandparents, other care givers) to see if the school is seriously off base or not.
Good luck with the meeting, I hope that they are able to offer up some more than what the report you got said.

It's also possible she's exaggerating on the form so that it's more obvious he really needs the help? Don't count on him qualifying for ALL services based on ADHD alone--maybe you're different than most places, but that's not generally true. Do know that there are plenty of schools out there who'll say "academically strong? No services". My kids aren't at one, luckily, but they do exist!
But I will say, all my son's evals have always listed the strengths along with the weaknesses.
ASK. ALWAYS ask if you have a question. But do ask nicely (not accusingly, or emotionally, though, of course, you FEEL that way!).

I'm glad you got it changed, then, well done! I didn't find it very hard to consent to Special Ed.--I really don't think it carries much of a stigma with actual educators (ignorant parents are, of course, idiots, so you ignore them ;}). My feeling is that if my kids need the help & it's being offered for FREE, at SCHOOL, why wouldn't I go for it?
I've had friends who decided to just go with verbal accomodations for one of their kids (not ADHD, different issues); what I saw was that there were good years & bad years, of course, like for any kid. But THEY had no hammer when the teachers didn't pay attention to the accomodations. Not that I've ever needed to use it, because our teachers are too bright to ignore that I have it, but that's what being really special ed gives you: a hammer to use on the school/admin when they are being stupid, if ever.
If you think he won't need help for very long, all the better--get all the help you can now, and aim for that goal!
Seriously, why wouldn't you do the Special Ed thing?
|Thu, 04-01-2010 - 2:31pm
You are welcome! It IS hard going through the process, especially at first. I am not sure about refusing stuff later on - I think that you can, but the team has to agree that the goals have been met. That said, if they want to change the goals, they can't do it unless everyone agrees - including you, which means they go with the plan that you currently have. If you want to change things, you can call a meeting any time you want (every two weeks if needed, but they may not like that much) and can work toward a plan that best fits your child's needs. I have had goals changed in my son's IEP with just the speech therapist writing a new goal and I sign it - no need for the whole team because it was a specific area. A behavior plan, for instance, might be different as more people would need to be involved. You may want to check out the Ivillage special education board for more information too.
As far as how this effects things down the road, the only issue I had was when I was in CA and was thinking that I wanted my son to go to a charter school that was out of my district. The school said they would love to have my son, but couldn't provided the speech and OT that he needed. We did something different anyhow, and it has worked out fine.
Not having services? Well, for some kids stigma does get attached when they are leaving the room to do resource or having extra time for a test, or whatever - the teacher should be alert to this so that she/he can stop any teasing right away and educate the kids about learning differences. So I can understand the concern. Overall, I think it would be better to have on the record a diagnosis than to have on the record that the child is unruly or bad. Even if what is provided doesn't work, it gives the appearance that the teachers, parents and child are working to try to make things better.

That looks like the right board for IEPs.
Looking over those scores, they had nothing to say that was positive??? He is a year ahead in some of those areas!
Social interactions...well, that was part of the reason why I got my son evaluated, I thought maybe high functioning autism because he is so far behind socially (1 to 2 years in my estimation.) I knew my son was going to have issues in school because of his inability to follow directions, sit still and interact properly. But would would they let him be in remedial prek classes so that he could get some experience in small groups before going on to the big classes? No, he was ahead academically. All they would do is allow him to be in Head Start...which was in Spanish, and we were having a hard time with English! And then they gave him to the kinder teacher that had 8 boys transfer out of the class the first 2 weeks when my daughter was in there...and no tolerance for special needs and even made fun of a boy with speech issues like my son! Which, is why we are homeschooling....
But any how, in my readings on past posts on this board and internet and few books I have gotten so far, apparently social lagging is common for ADHD kids. Not something that is mentioned in that terms, but looking over your son's scores, that seems to be the case with him too. Is the school doing anything to address this? Some schools do have classes for social issues and helping kids deal appropriately, be it shyness or the opposite.
With my son we do limited classes (a couple of hours a week) and they are multi-age classes, so while he is about the oldest, it is ok if he acts younger. (I have to tell him to Which, thinking about it some, if your school has multi-grade classrooms, it may be a way for him to fit in and relate a bit more with the kids who are a year or two younger, without getting held back. Doesn't really help this year, but may be an option for next year.
Edited to add because I forgot: Don't sell yourself or your son short! The efforts that you and your husband are doing are not worthless, and I certainly hope that our kids are not doomed to be behind all their lives! Being trained in doing stuff is certainly a help, but even untrained but willing to educate themselves parents can make a world of difference. With my son, he, I, brother,sister and dad, all know that he learns differently. It doesn't mean that he can't learn, it just take a different amount of effort than it does for the rest of us. Learning to work hard for achievement is a good thing - I actually worry more about my daughter who learning comes so easy that she doesn't have to try hard...until the subject is hard - then she doesn't know what to do. Everything is hard for my son...so he gives it his all and does the best that he is able. I trust that he will do all the things he wants, it just may be on a different time line than most kids.

Out...well, my ADHDer went IEP->504->504 middle school->IEP middle school (and thank goodness they didn't make the getting-IEP-again thing hard!). My other kid went IEP->out. "Out" is easy (look at it this way, the school system is only too pleased to STOP paying extra $$ for your kid ;} ). OK, there may be some parents out there who have horror stories about NOT letting the kid out of special ed, but frankly, I've not read them, nor heard them in real life (though I'm sure I could google & find one!). All it took for us was having to sign a form, just like after any IEP meeting, where you sign any changes into effect (or don't, I suppose, but we've never needed to protest them!).
Another plus on the label is that as he changes his needs--adds, subtracts or just alters--you have the regular IEP/504 meetings to talk about them in AND you can call one whenever you need to.
Denial's a lovely river, isn't it? And I'm so there with you sometimes (just not THIS month ;} ).

October 11, 1972: El Nacimiento del Centro de la Raza
Seattle's autumn of 1972 was reportedly one of the coldest in then-recent memory, which made the direct action described below all the more memorable. On the date in focus here, more than 50 Latino/Latina (or, in the representational parlance of the time, Chicano/Chicana) activists, led by Roberto Maestas (1938-2010) and Juan Bocanegra, began an occupation of the then-recently-closed Beacon Hill Elementary School. This action was an attempt to convince the City of Seattle to convert the site into a bilingual community and social services center for Greater Seattle's Chicano/Chicana community, at the time still unjustly invisible on the city's civic radar.
Most of this action's participants were the faculty, staff, and students of a South Seattle Community College English and adult basic education program for Chicano/Chicanas that had recently been de-funded as one economic consequence among many of Seattle's early-1970s post-Boeing-Bust economy. The Beacon Hill school building had been closed and boarded up during the 1970-71 school year after a new elementary school was opened several blocks away. The activists had already been negotiating with the city government to obtain the building for several months. The occupation, a result of frustration with the slow pace of the negotiations, began when the activists asked to visit the building for a casual tour. When a school district building inspector allowed the group in, they then announced they were not going to leave.
"We're here to force action by the federal and city government," Bocanegra said. "We want to focus attention on the needs of the Chicanos in Seattle and the Puget Sound area."
Maestas, explaining the decision to occupy the building, said:
"We reached the frustration level to the point where we asked to see the school and decided to stay a little longer than they expected."
The occupation would last into early 1973 as more urgent negotiations took place between the activists and the Seattle City Council and the Seattle School District, all while the activists made do without heat or running water. These negotiations were largely amicable, as the city government, then led by liberal mayor Wes Uhlman, officially welcomed the idea of an ethnic center for Chicanos; the barriers were mostly bureaucratic, since the school district, for legal reasons, could not lease the school building directly to the Chicano group.
Ultimately, the school district conceded and agreed to lease the property to the city, initially for five years for $1 a year. The city then agreed to sub-lease the property to the activists. For the resulting institution, the activists chose the name El Centro de la Raza–"The Center of the People." Despite episodes of internal and financial strife over the years, El Centro still thrives today as one of the largest community-based organizations in the nation. Maestas served as its Executive Director until his death on September 22, 2010.

Gli olandesi parlano inglese per fortuna. Vado nel distretto a luci rosse, vado a un porno show. Visito il museo del porno, fumo ottimo Hashish. Conosco un televisiva olandese, beviamo al bar Absinthe. Musei stupendi, Van Gogh e Vermeer li adoro. Ho camminato, ho mangiato tantissimi dolci, ho comprato della coca e nel distretto a luci rosse ho incontrato una bionda con le tette grosse che mi ricordava Lara. Le ho dato 100 fiorini, me l tirato fuori e mi ha fatto venire tra le tette. Abbiamo parlato dell e della sua vita e del suo magnaccia marocchino. Mi sveglia un ubriacone che canta, sono le otto di mattina e fa un caldo boia. Faccio finta di pattinare su ghiaccio mentre uno suona il sax. Scambio canzoni con una neozelandese, poi prendo un treno per Parigi.

5 Major League Soccer Teams That Outdraw Baseball
4. Portland Timbers
Entered MLS: 2011
Average 2013 attendance: 20,674
Baseball teams it outdraws: Miami Marlins (17,168), Tampa Bay Rays (17,718), Houston Astros (18,271), Cleveland Indians (18,995)
To understand just how big soccer is in this town, keep in mind that next year's MLS All-Star Game will be the first major-league All-Star Game in this town of any kind. The NBA played its star-studded even in Vegas without so much as sniffing the TrailBlazers' home court at the Rose Garden, but MLS is all in.
Never mind that the University of Portland churns out men's and women's national team players such as Conor Casey, Megan Rapinoe, Steve Cherundolo, Stephanie Lopez and Kasey Keller as if they're the region's biggest exports. Never mind that Portland alum Christine Sinclair and women's national team star Alex Morgan helped the Portland Thorns women's team set a U.S. women's soccer record by drawing nearly 16,500 fans to the team's first game.It's the Timbers and their long, circuitous roots that keep this a soccer town. The team got its start in the North American Soccer League from 1975 through 1982, hung on as F.C. Portland in the Western Soccer League from 1985 through 1990 and re-emerged as the Timbers in the USL from 2000 through last year. The team was bought by Merritt Paulson and his father, former Treasury secretary Henry Paulson, and has been selling out every match since joining MLS three years ago. Thank the several thousand members of the Timbers Army supporters group for much of that enthusiasm. They've backed the team for nearly a decade and carry on Timbers traditions such as former mascot Timber Jim's chainsawing of a log each time the team scores a goal. The giant signs, the songs and chants, the reasonably priced (read: face value) resale tickets to just about every Timbers game -- that's all them. They can seem cultish, nerdy and downright pedantic to outsiders, but once fans have been on their feet in their section for the full 90, it's clear who willed this team into being.

Funny Black or White?
Genetics experts already called this a miracle - a British black couple gave birth to a white baby with natural white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, and is NOT an albino. Theoretically, white genes in mixed-race people can be hidden and carried for generations without any visual signs, because white genes are easily dominated by black genes. Such mixed-race people may have absolute "blond" babies in rare cases. However this is not the case with the British black couple, because neither husband Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history. That's why genetic scientists called this case a miracle. The parents decided to call their blond baby Nmachi, meaning "Beauty of God" in Nigerian. Upon reading this news, lines from timeless M. Jackson song "Black or White" come to mind: But, If Youre Thinkin About My Baby It Dont Matter If Youre Black Or White Scientists call this a genetic miracle, but we know what miracles Photoshop can do. How would white celebrities or politicians look as black people? With their skin color change would their lifestyle change too? Similarly, how would black celebrities or politicians look as white people?
Funny White House Crashers
The Secret Service director and the couple (Tareq and Michaele Sahali) who crashed the Obama administration's first state dinner have been called to testify before Congress on Thursday about last week's security breach at the White House. House spokesman Robert Gibbs described U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as angered by the incident. The couple deny they were gatecrashers, claiming they were invited and have emails to prove it, and that the whole buzz was due to misunderstanding on the White House part. This wasn't a misunderstanding, Mr. Gibbs said. You don't show up at the White House as a misunderstanding. The couple did meet president Obama, Vice President Biden and happily took photographs with them and the security people they passed through. Isn't it supposed to be the tightest security in the country? Photoshop the White House crasher couple any way you wish. Where will these crashers show up next? E.g. make them show up at other unexpected places - events, paintings, films, etc.
Funny Bo, The White House Dog
Obama promised their daughters during the election - "If we win, I'll get you a puppy". So he did. Portuguese Water Dog named Bo is officially the "the first dog" - Kennedys gave Bo to Obama in April. Obama's daughters lovingly call Bo "America's Commander in Leash". Bo became an instant celebrity - media loves him, Bo already has a book written about him, and Bo eats his meals from Swarovski crystal bowls which Czeck President gave to Obama especially for Bo. To mark the arrival of "America's Commander in Leash", photoshop Bo any way you wish.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Russia and the EU
"Russia And the Eu" -- Jordan Times Headline - Jordan Times Online
Friday June 24, 2011 02:31:36 GMT
(Jordan Times) - By Jonathan Power Can the growing meeting of the minds of
presidents Barack Obama and Dmitri Medvedev, clearly on view recently,
when Medvedev said he wanted Obama to be reelected, now be carried over
into RussiaAEs relationship with Europe?
In many ways, it is easier for the US to make a big peace with Russia than
it is for Europe. There has never been any territorial issue between the
two, whereas Russia has fought major wars with France, Britain, Sweden,
Finland and Germany.
Is it possible, 20 years after the fall of communism, for contemporary
Europe to finally respond to Mikhail GorbachevAEs p lea to build a
ocommon European houseo?
This is the European UnionAEs call. America will want to be privy to the
content of the discussions, but Washington knows that in this case, what
Europe decides it wants it cannot obstruct. Nor does it have any real
reason to interfere.
Is Russia a European or an Asian nation? It is a question that has been
debated for 500 years at least. The 19th century Slavophil Nikolay
Danilevskiy argued that Russia possesses an instinctive Slavic
civilisation of its own - midway between Europe and Asia. Yet Dostoevsky,
speaking at a meeting at the unveiling of a statute of poet Pushkin, said:
oPeoples of Europe, they donAEt know how dear to us they are.o
If this is the predominant mood among Russian intellectuals today, they
still have to contend with the nationalism, and Slavism, of the rump
Communist Party and those powerful voices in the army, and even the
foreign ministry, who fear a loss of independence if Russia is swallowed
up in a greater Europe.
Seventy years of totalitarian communism, following the autocracy of the
tsars, as Norman Davies writes in his monumental history of Europe,
obuilt huge mental as well as physical curtains across Europeo.
It was Churchill who called the Bolsheviks oa babooneryo steeped in the
deadly traditions of Attila and Genghis Khan. Yet Lenin and his circle
assumed that one day they would join up with revolutionaries in the
advanced capitalist countries.
The Comintern in the early 1920s discussed the idea of a United States of
Europe. It wasnAEt the Bolsheviks, but Stalin, who pointed Russia
In todayAEs liberated Russia, the European heart beats fast. The roots go
deep. Muscovy has been an integral part of Christendom since the 10th
century. In the late imperial era, it was not just Dostoevsky and Pushkin
who wrote in the European tradition, but also Lermontov, Tolstoy and
Chekhov, giants, then, who the passa ge of time has not demoted. Russian
music, so eminently of European pedigree, with Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and
Rimsky-Korsakov, rivalled anything that came out of 19th century Germany,
Austria and Italy. The Ballet Russes and the Stanislavsky Theatre School
were the leaders in Europe. Even Stalin chose not to squash this
inheritance, although he sought to control its legacy and energy in his
own ruthless manner.
Russia has now found that it has been able to fashion a common alliance
with America - against terrorism, for nuclear disarmament, against nuclear
proliferation in unstable countries and perhaps even a quiet,
unprovocative containment of the growing might of China.
The agenda with Europe is more demanding, but its rewards will be long
If discussions on the future membership of Russia in the EU were to begin
now, it would take at least 10 years, and probably 20, to reach the point
of consummation. Russia still has too much corruption, mis administration
and lacks democratisation, not to mention seriously inadequate legal
institutions, for it to be a quick process. But, as with Turkey today, the
carrot of future entry can prove to be a good stick for beating the system
into shape.
Europe itself has to decide how much it wants this. It has in its power
the opportunity to anchor Russia firmly within Europe, to cut off for all
time the Russian temptation to look inward and to downplay its respect for
democracy and human rights.
With Russia not a member of Europe, the Russian psyche is dangerously
exposed, insecure, exiled from its natural centre of gravity and horribly
free to roll around the deck like the proverbial loose cannon. Yet for
some Europeans, there will be a price that goes beyond the usual debate on
Airbus subsidies, agricultural policy and Greek debt. It is to give up the
vision of a united federal Europe, under one parliament and one president.
With Russia a member, clearly it could not work; Russia is just too big.
Yet Europe would still gain more than it ever dared aspire to: a
continent-wide union of its member states and the stabilisation of this
great centre of civilisation that has spent too much of its history at war
with itself, much more than any other part of the world. 24 June 2011

Slovak Nuclear Power Plants To Undergo Stress Tests
&quo t;Slovak Nuclear Power Plants To Undergo Stress Tests" -- TASR
headline - TASR
Thursday June 23, 2011 23:24:52 GMT
According to Nuclear Supervision Office chairman Marta Ziakova, the tests
will be focused on finding out how the nuclear power plants respond to
critical or extreme conditions.
"It was Austria, I think, that came up with the proposal to introduce
stress tests in the wake of the Fukushima disaster," she said, adding that
people living near power plants needn't worry. "The tests won't have any
impact on the nuclear facilities themselves or on people."

Czech Commentary Argues German Pressure Reduces Probability of Nuclear
Commentary by Michal Snobr, analyst with J&T: "Will CEZ Ever Complete
Temelin?" - Hospodarske Noviny Online
Thursday June 23, 2011 15:05:58 GMT
In contrast to Mr. Martin Roman, I do not think that there is any real
threat now of the closure of Temelin or Dukovany (nuclear power plants) --
regardless of whatever kind of pressure Germany along with Austria exert
against the completion of (Temelin) over the next few years.
However, what I am sure of is that the probability of the completion of
Temelin never occurring is rising very substantially. Just like Martin
Roman, I presume that on this matter the Czech Republic is going to face
unprecedented pressure from Austria and Germany, and I am also sure that
sooner or later a certain part of Czech political circles and publicly
respected figures (I do not have in mind by this already convinced
opponents) will "sell out" to these interests. Just as was the case before
the launch of Temelin almost 10 years ago.
In energy policy in particular the EU is becoming more and more a German
union than anything else, and we know from the last few years that the
Czech Republic alone is not capable of getting hardly anything accepted
within the EU (in particular against the interests of its strong
neighbor). Against the interests of Germany, fanatically supported
primarily by Upper Austria, this is going to be almost impossible. From
the economic point of view, and also from the point of view of the "green"
view of the world of energy policy in Germany and the steps that Germany
is taking in this direction now without rega rd for the rest of the
members of the EU, it is hard to envisage that it would accept new nuclear
blocs at Temelin.
The only ray of hope in this sense remains Poland. If this large European
country does not give up its intention to build the first nuclear power
plant on its territory, then we are going to have a strong ally, which has
already succeeded, in spite of Germany, in pushing through quite a few
things in the energy field, for instance on CO2 emissions permits in the
period 2013 to 2020.
In connection with the statement (by Roman) cited above I would like to
mention one more important thing. It is evident that, thanks to the
potential completion of Temelin, Czech politicians are enjoying to the
full extent "world" favor.
From time to time a variety of representatives from the United States,
France, and Russia, representing the interests of firms from their
countries, have the need to speak with Czech politicians about this
matter, an d some of these Czech politicians have already succumbed to a
certainly illusion of their own importance.
I continue to hope that the CEZ management will not succumb to this and
that, in view of the great expense of financing the construction of a
nuclear power plant, the overall length of its realization (quite
certainly this will exceed 10 years) and all the possible risks connected
with such an investment, the CEZ management will require -- before any
start to the completion of Temelin -- certain guarantees, not only from
potential suppliers of technology, but also from the state, which by a
political decision can at any time in the future mar CEZ's enormous
investment in nuclear energy.
The worst possible variant of the development would be a part-built
nuclear power station, in which tens of hundreds of billions would be
invested through CEZ and which would then be "politically" closed even
before completion. In view of the enormous opposition f rom Germany and
Austria, which are doubtlessly going to increase, this is not an
unrealistic variant.
The Germans are quite certainly going to have the strength to do this over
10 years and this is extremely dangerous. Before the actual start of
investment the CEZ management, just like Czech politicians, should
"measure three times and only after that take action." It is not only the
choice of nuclear technology that is a risk; a much greater risk is
constituted by current events in Germany. Unfortunately, in our region a
German energy union is a reality and Czech politicians should also
realistically consider their options of standing up to German interests
before any shareholders' decision on Temelin is made.
In advance I will say that to rely, for instance, on France would be a
great error. In the interest of political compromises in the EU nothing
can be ruled out -- not even that we will be thrown overboard. It is
enough to look at the trend of public opinion on nuclear energy in France.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
No way I'll ever break my smoking habit
Most hunters I know are also food lovers. There's a constant and enthusiastic exchange of recipes and many discussions about methods, tips and tricks. Therefore it comes as no surprise that so many hunters have graduated to becoming ravenous smokers -- meat smokers to be precise.
I use the word ravenous because once you start smoking, there's little chance you'll stop.
Despite lots of exposure on television shows, smoking somehow remains a bit of a mystery. If you're in the fold, you get it. But if you've never done it before, smoking can seem more than a little daunting. I am often asked for my advice on what kind of smoker to buy. I respond with the very cheeky "How long is a piece of string?" The kind of smoker you buy depends on a great many things. The choices are as vast as that 100-acre meadow at the end of November (you know, the one with the five-point buck standing just out of range).
Smoking vs. Grilling
Although the gear may look similar, the methods couldn't be more different. Grilling (or barbecue as we call it in these parts) usually means cooking a quality cut of meat over high heat for a short time. The goal is to seal in flavour. Grill that rib-eye for three minutes a side on a 500 degree fire and you won't be sorry.
Smoking is all about low and slow. Premium smoking temperatures hover between 200 and 250 F and it's usually the lesser cuts of meat that find their way onto the smoker. Smoking times run between two and 12 hours. Smoking -- as the name suggests -- also involves imparting smoked flavour through the burning of wood chips. This can only happen at low temperatures so the smoky goodness has a chance to permeate the meat (or fish).
To step into the science of smoking just for a moment, the low temperature and long cooking time allow connective tissue in the meat to break down and convert into sugar (especially in pork butt or beef brisket). This adds both tenderness and sweetness to the finished product.
Select Your Fuel
Smokers can be powered by a number of different fuels including charcoal (or charwood), propane, wood pellets and electricity. If you plan to use your smoker at hunting camp where there is no electricity, then a propane model might be your best choice.
In my not-so-long smoking career, I've found that electric and propane models require the least amount of babysitting, although every smoking projects needs at least a minimal amount of supervision. Wood pellet models mean you'll have to peek in on things a little more often. Go with charcoal and you'll be making a significant investment in getting to know your smoker and its little quirks -- much like you would with any wood stove.
If you're using an electric digital smoker, simply set the cooking temperature, estimated time it might take and the amount of smoke you want. An automatic feeding system drops smoke pucks as necessary. Because it's electric, there's no fire to build and the temperature is regulated by a thermostat.
If you have a charcoal smoker, the process begins by lighting a fire and warming up the smoker. The temperature is regulated by one or two vents on the unit. Opening up a vent a sliver can boost your temperature beyond where you want it to be. A brisk wind or an unexpected shower can make your temperature drop quickly. You'll probably also have to add some hot charcoal at least once during the smoking process. In short, there's a lot of watching, waiting and adjusting that goes on while tending a charcoal smoker.
Art vs. Science
Keep in mind that smoking involves both science and art and if you ask me, art weighs a little heavier into the equation. When it comes to investing in a smoker, ask yourself how involved you want to be in the process. An electric or propane smoker means you can set it and forget it and end up with an excellent product. If you want to test your skills and patience and have a lot more options of what you can do with your smoker, then a charcoal model is probably right for you.
If you are in possession of a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of mechanical skills, building your own smoker is most definitely an option. The best lake trout I ever tasted came out of a smoker built from an abandoned industrial hot water tank.
Shel's Smokers
Nobody ever said you can only have one smoker. I have a Little Chief -- a tiny electric model with limited space. The top temperature is about 225 F, making it perfect for quick backyard jobs. Pick one up at Cabela's for around $140. I also have a Brinkmann vertical charcoal water smoker that I bought at a garage sale for $20. It's finicky as heck and falling apart, but it's where I cut my smoking teeth. It has helped me put some fine smoked pork shoulders on the table. New models sell for just over $100. Last fall, I became the proud owner of a charcoal-powered, completely manual, heavy-as-can-be Big Green Egg. Does anyone really need a smoker that costs over $1,500? Probably not. Am I happy I finally invested in one? Words cannot describe.

After the Crowds Leave: Finding the Post-Kickstarter Ecosystem
"In general, the Kickstarter platform generates a lot of publicity, and it has become the go-to place for innovative ideas," Axup said, adding that she still gets a lot of traffic from her Kickstarter page. "It's also very inspirational, making the visitors feel like they can do a Kickstarter campaign too."
Max Borges Agency, a PR firm specializing in tech gadgets, stumbled into the space out of its own enthusiasm for certain projects, said Lorin Munchick, the agency's business development manager. In the past year, the agency has helped 17 projects, which combined raised more than $3 million.
"We only want to be taking on products that are really disruptive technology and not just me-too projects. That's what we strive for - to take on projects that everyone on the team here is excited about and that we can get them great coverage for," Munchick said.
The agency barely markets its services, apart from a few press releases and making sure its site is search-engine optimized. It also doesn't charge a standard fee. "We're getting creative with our fee structure. It has varied on all of our projects. I don't think any of them have been the same," Munchick said, adding that if the team is really excited, they'll consider an equity stake.Max Borges takes a proactive approach. With 17 crowdfunded projects to its credit, the team created a "best practices" guide. It uses its experience as a conversation starter for potential crowdfunded clients. "It's certainly a growing portion of our business that we're excited about. When a project comes to market in a traditional way, it's already been through so many layers of approval and production that some of the ideas get watered down. So to get involved so early in the process is pretty exciting for us," Munchick said. There are other ways the crowdfunded ecosystem is working, says Brian Fargo, chief executive of InXile Entertainment, whose idea to update 1988s Wasteland game attracted nearly $3 million on Kickstarter last spring. "I'm thinking of all the people who've contacted me (because of Kickstarter). We did an apparel deal with J!NX specific to Wasteland, we have a lot of contractors and there's the engine license we're using. We end up touching a lot of people at the end of the day. Being a job creator may be a cliché but it's been really great for the economy," Fargo said.

Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
I tried making up a mock last night but with so many questions surrounding the Texans at QB, with Antonio Smith reaching FA, and major needs at RT, CB, and OLB it's hard to decide where to go. That's 5 needs in the first 2 rounds. Needs in no particular order:
QB, I agree with the consensus opinion that Schaub needs to go but I doubt seriously the Texans will cut him at the end of this season due to the guaranteed money still owed him. And I agree with BB that Keenum is being groomed as his replacement, so I don't think the Texans will spend a 1st on a QB in 2014.
OLB, a stud OLB would free up the team to move Brooks Reed to ILB and kill 2 birds with 1 stone at the same time adding quality and depth to the LB corp as a whole. This would probably give us the biggest pay off in the 1st round.
RT, we desperately need to solidify the RT spot and gain some continuity and depth on the O-line. I had high hopes for Brennan Williams but after micro fracture surgery I doubt he ever plays a snap for us. Will Newton ever get over his injury and become a quality RT or do we replace him. Even if we replace him I don't think the Texans want to use a 1st on the RT spot.
DT/DE, this all depends on if Antonio Smith is re-signed, I sure hope he is, at a team friendly deal lowering his cap hit. I also don't see Jamison or Crick as the Ninja's replacement, neither has the pass rush ability.
CB, we need an upgrade in quality and depth in the secondary so that teams will quit picking on McCain and we need to stock up for the future. CB's take a while to develop so they have to be taken a year or 2 ahead of when you want them to start.
Opinions? Where do you think we spend that 2014 1st round pick, and if you can only fill 2 of these needs in the first 2 rounds, which are they?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
DE, I don't think we can afford Antonio after this year unless he accepts a super friendly deal. This needs to be in the top 2.
After that I can't prioritize yet. My first response is RT but I think we won't because of our depth on IR.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
QB for me, to watch and learn in Schaub's final year.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
This roster is just too damn good everywhere else to let poor play at such an important position ruin its chances.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
im thinking we go CB or ILB. typically we have drafted a replacement for a FA that will gone the year before so im thinking Rick Smith is going to try to keep the ninja as a DE wasnt drafted last year. also i think we have adequate depth at the position in jamison, crick and now montgomery, so even if smith does go i dont think we take one in the first round unless some unbelievable talent falls.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
BQBA (Best Quarter Back Available). If that means move up in the draft order then so be it. Do Texans need a better QB? Maybe not but from a fans perspective, it's long overdue. This organization has tortured its fan base long enough with average play from the most important position on their beloved football team. C'mon Man! David Carr to Matt Schaub, is that the best you can do? Does that compare to Peyton Manning/Andrew Luck, or Brett Farve/Aaron Rodgers? Makes me sick. Stop treating your fans like ****, get a real QB for a real Football Team, any questions where to spend the 2014 1st rd. draft pick :deadhorse
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
I hope they not only pick a QB in the 1st rd but trade back into the 1st rd and pick Van Noy or Shazier.
I really like Barr for the Texans, but he will be long gone by the time the Texans pick.
Late 1st early 2nd rd QB's that could be available are Mettenberger/Murray/Manziel. (The M&M boys)
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
Anyone notice that McCarron has dropped to #91 on CBSSports? TBH other than my guy Verrett, I don't see anyone in first round screaming "I am your guy!" Trade down? If Marqise Lee returns from knee sprain healthy he could be BPA.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
What if we went a different route and added Safety to that list of needs. How about Hasean Clinton-Dix-FS from Alabama? Ed Reed could easily be a one and done player for the Texans, Safety is definitely a need, if trying to save some money we could cut Manning (expecting a 1st round pick to start), and everything I've seen/heard/and read says that Clinton-Dix is an elite level Safety. I think he could vastly improve our secondary without waiting a year or 2 for a CB to adjust to the NFL. Worth considering in the 1st?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
I really haven't watched as much tape as I should on McCarron, but does anyone really get a vibe that at his very best he's just going to be a step to the side rather than a step up from Matt Schaub? It's a really strange gut feeling I get, and (disclaimer) I have no proof or tape to back that up, but it bothers me for some reason because I have a feeling he will be there when we're picking and our FO is going to be tempted to pick him.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
I heard that Clinton-Dix hired an agent already, it's a really dumb thing to do but at least he's not out killing folks or doing drugs.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
We really need a QB, but Kubiak is not going to move on from Schaub. That's his guy and he'll go down with him.
Since no QB, take BPA.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
They wont be picking high enough for Bridgewater , Mariota or Hundley.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
Well eliminated a couple positions from the above list of possibilities.
Safety, Clinton-Dix is the only guy worthy of a 1st round pick and he went and got himself kicked off the team by hiring an agent. I doubt the Texans go for someone making this kind of bone headed move.
QB, as badly as I want Schaub gone and someone else in his place, if it does happen I think it would be Keenum. I don't think we draft a QB early to replace Schaub.
DE/DT, the more I think about it the more I think Antonio Smith is gone after this season in FA (hate to see him go) and that his replacement is already here, Crick, Montgomery, or Jamison. It will most likely be Crick that gets a year to show that he can replace the Ninja.
OT, I don't see the Texans selecting a RT in the 1st round, maybe in the 2nd but most likely in the 3rd. It's possible but doubtful. I just don't think they value the position that high.
That leaves only OLB or CB. I think OLB offers us the most immediate bang for our buck because of the ability to fix 2 positions with 1 pick by moving Reed to ILB. Filling OLB might also depend on the development of Willie Jefferson who looked so promising in TC. This also seems like a very good year for CB so we might be able to wait until the 2nd to find a future starter and immediate quality depth. CB is a position that I want a stud at so I'd like to get the best one we can even if he doesn't play as a rookie and it's currently at the top of my mock draft.
Other than QB, what's your reasoning for taking another position in the 1st?
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
I think they go CB, because im not convinced that KJ stays after his contract is done, JJoe's cap is getting high and even though his improved game by game this season his still not at his best. and our backups are not top CB material so i think you get a guy now let him sit for a year then starts year 2.
My preference though would be to go ILB, i would love to have a 2 header monster at the Backer position much like the 49ers do.
Also i think its really really really unlikely we go QB, at least for this year maybe next but cant see it happening this year unless we win only 6 games or something like that
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
TE won't happen in the 1st for the reasons you stated.
I agree with everything you said regarding CB, and agree it should be our 1st round pick. In this modern day pass happy NFL a team really needs 3 starting CB's.
I want that 2 headed monster in the middle as well, but I think it can be Cushing and Reed by drafting a stud OLB thus fixing 2 positions with one pick.
Feel the same about QB, very unlikely unless the bottom just drops out on this season and we've got way to much talent for that to happen.
Re: Where to spend the 2014 1st round pick?
An ILB that will fly up draft boards is Christian Jones out of Florida State. Big, fast and versatile. He can rush from the outside and can run with TEs in coverage. He's perfect for our defense.

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- BTA Bank, the Kazakh lender that defaulted on $12 billion of debt before restructuring last year, asked a U.K. judge to jail its former chairman, Mukhtar Ablyazov, for contempt of court in a fraud lawsuit.
Ablyazov, who fled Kazakhstan to escape prosecution and lives in the U.K., violated a court order freezing his assets by failing to reveal ownership in a Moscow skyscraper project and hiding more than 600 shell companies used to conceal his wealth, BTA's lawyer said today at the start of a two-week trial in London. Ablyazov attended the hearing with an interpreter.
"There hasn't quite been a case like this before," BTA's lawyer, Stephen Smith of New Square Chambers, said at the hearing. "The bank's primary purpose is to coerce Ablyazov into complying with the court order."
BTA, based in Almaty, filed a series of U.K. lawsuits against Ablyazov and Roman Solodchenko, its former chief executive officer, claiming they took more than $5 billion from the bank using fake loans. The men have denied the claims, while BTA has said its forensic accountants are still unwinding the transactions behind the alleged theft.
BTA said litigation against the men will benefit Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Barclays Plc, Commerzbank AG and other creditors that financed it to become the biggest Kazakh lender before its nationalization in 2009.
Ablyazov's attempt to delay the contempt trial was denied by Judge Nigel Teare in October after the court was shown evidence that land "indirectly owned" by the defendant was pledged to the Central Bank of Russia in violation of the freeze. The bank wants Ablyazov in prison until the case runs its course, saying he can't be trusted.
The dispute over asset disclosure has already resulted in a court order placing an estimated $5 billion of Ablyazov's assets into receivership under the control of KPMG LLP during the case.
BTA won a 21-month jail sentence last month against Paul Kythreotis, a British man in Cyprus who's accused of helping Ablyazov. Syrym Shalabayev, Ablyazov's brother-in-law, was separately sentenced in June to 18 months in a U.K. jail for failing to reveal his assets or cooperate in the case.

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
The characteristic CXC chemokine disulfide core of interleukin-8 (IL-8) has been rearranged in a variant replacing the 9-50 disulfide with a 9-38 disulfide. The new variant has been characterized by its binding affinity to IL-8 receptors A and B and the erythrocyte receptor DARC. This variant binds the three receptors with affinities between 500- and 2,500-fold lower than wild-type IL-8. Binding affinity results are also reported for the variant with alanine substituted for both cysteines 9 and 50. The Glu38-->Cys/Cys50-->Ala IL-8 crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell parameters a = 46.4, b = 49.2, and c = 69.5 A, and has been refined to an R-value of 19.4% for data from 10 to 2 A resolution. Analysis of the structure confirms the new disulfide arrangement and suggests that changes at Ile10 may be the principal cause of the lowered affinities.

Octodon degus is generally considered endemic to west central Chile, where it inhabits the lower slopes of the Andes. Although some have argued that its range may extend north into Peru, this is not well supported. It is common in the international pet trade, however, and is often used in laboratory studies outside of its native range.

|I received my ring very quickly. I had ordered the ring sizer as I wasn't sure what size I needed and the fit is perfect, the same fit as I had with the sizer.

|I purchased the "three ring" with my three kids' names on it three years ago. I wear it everyday all the time and it still looks great. I just LOVE it. Then we had our forth baby. So I decided to get the single ring and wear it with the three. It looks great. The quality of the rings are excellent!

|I ordered this ring about 4 years ago and wore it everyday up until this January, when I accidentaly lost it. Of course I had to replace it, because I absolutely love it...The quality of the band and the clarity of the name stamped on it is second to none. I have also ordered bracelets and necklaces and have never been disappointed with the results!

|My daughter loves her ring. Her name is very different (We made it from my maiden name.) and have to have all name items made custom. She likes that this ring is more casual to were everyday to school.

|This is the 4th name ring I have bought for my daughters-in-law and recently, my daughter. I think this is not only a beautifully made ring of good quality but the most appreciated gift I've given as it is so personal. My daughter recently gave birth and sent a lovely photo of her hand with baby girl holding mom's hand and the name ring as the central focus. My daughters-in-law always wear their rings.
