Have I misunderstood?
I can't see that this produces a league for us???
I've got a score for the round but can't find a ladder (table) of our results???
Maybe I've set up the wrong sort of league????
A trip to the optometrist might be on the agenda for you soon.

Ladder Positions After NRL Round 1 2013
Notebook After Round 1
With 20 teams in our league it looks like we're full!
That's a good blend of of regulars and new blood.
One or two who joined after the start last season are in from the beginning this season.
From what I can tell - and you can see this new format has the advantage of me - we have fewer opportunities to make big changes. I don't think there's a wild card to play and our number of ins and outs is very limited.
Anyone who has studied the system and can give advice and guidance please feel welcome to contribute here.
I know its a competitive league, but hints and tips and shared understanding would be a good thing.

Ladder Positions After NRL Round 2 2013
Notebook After Round 2
Steven's Mighty Bulldogs have leapfrogged Peter's Yorkshire Gold to take over the top spot this week.
These two are the only teams to average over a 1000 points a week. Just 17 points separates them.
Of course it is very early days and absolutely anything can happen yet.
Daves Dynamos, Jeff's TBT and David's Thatcham Rabbitohs are in good shape all breaking the 900 point barrier this week. Well done all.
Gavin is mentioned in dispatches this week as his terrific 917 points lifted him up two places to 13.
I'll let Kev sum up his start to the season.
It's competitive in all areas of the ladder. Still so it should be at this time of season. It's all to play for!

on this site Wellin also gives detailed analysis of the past matches and potential team line ups highlighting, players returning from injury etc
Been based in the UK we can't win any cash prizes so its all about H2H (head to head), the trick is to win as many games as you can to reach the top eight whist generating as much cash as you can and preserving trades so that when/if you do make the playoffs at the end of the year, you can stack your teams full of the big guns. I've done this and won the grand final 4 out of the 5 years, the only defeat been losing in the semis when g stewart got sinbinned and then sent off at the same time fighting with adam blair!.....but i'm not bitter >:-(
Another hint is to keep an eye on the rep fixtures, some players play reduced minutes following international and origin, therefore the following weeks can see big price drops and you can sometimes snap this players up at bargain prices.
good luck everyone,

Stupid game
If you will play with the big boys .... strike that!
Thanks for that Yorkshire Gold.
My major concern this season compared with our previous more open league competition is what appears to be a much smaller number of outs and ins.
40 isn't that many. Last year as Melbourne Rovers I used a total of 133 transfers!
This seems like an altogether different ball game so any advice or even just little discoveries as we go along needs sharing.

Notebook After Round 3
The general impression looking at this is how scores at the top have jumped en masse from Round 2.
Top ten total scores are also very close. To be fair scores at all points in the ladder compare very favourably with last season.
I notice Kev's Roveranout score has picked up somewhat after that little nudge last week.
Well done everyone.

Until I get chance to do a proper R4 posting you'll have to make do with each of us looking at our own pages. Normal service will resume as soon as possible. That's a day or two from now.

Notebook After Round 5
Wow that was generally a high scoring round with nine teams bursting through the 1000 point barrier together with a host of other very respectable scores just below that.
Peter again mustered his troops the best, topping out our scores with 1257 points which maintains him in the number 1 spot.
The total point scores are close though and the season is just getting into its stride.
The battles all the way up and down the ladder are developing into mighty tussles. Positions are currently decided in some places by just single figures of points - David and Jeff in 7th and 8th being just 7 points apart after 5 rounds.
Similarly Ian and Steph are separated by just 3 points!
Good luck in Round 6 everyone
Head to Head League Ladder After Round 5
We're two games into the head to head competition.
While Peter is again topping this ladder at this stage, other positions are shuffled about a bit comparing this ladder with the ladder above it.

Quite a tricky week for a lot of us with some very close games in NRL R6 the majority finishing with single figure margins of victory.
Congratulations therefore to those among us who scored over 1000 points.
Peter and Steven are now the only two of us who are currently averaging over 1000 points. That's some achievement, well done!
Special mention this week goes to Richard and his Coal Aston XIII who despite being in 12th place scored a massive 1047 points.
Head to Head League Ladder After Round 6
Quite a bit of shuffling about in this table. Still it is early days here in the head to head league and one win or loss counts for a lot.
Just five of us with a 3/3 record after three HtoH rounds - well done to Steven, James, Peter, Gavin and Simon

Surplice Bust Bodysuit
Gorgeous color and top!
I was very iffy about buying this as I wasn't sure how I would feel about the bodysuit portion of the top. Luckily you can unsnap it and wear it as a top. The back of the top is gorgeous but I was hard put to find a bra with a back low enough to not show. The mesh lining at the shoulders is really pretty and the neckline is cut low but not so low that it is indecent. I highly recommend this top. It is comfortable and fashionable at the same time. I ordered both a L and an XL in different colors. I would say this fits true to size.
January 15, 2014
The second it came out i purchased it and i fell in love with it. At first i wasn't sure if to get black or white but i ended up getting the black and it was incrediable, The material is just perfect. It's thin but not cheap looking and it fits PERFECT! I'm a 5'4 and weigh 125. It was a ittle hard to get on at first but it fits like a glove. I would recomend.
October 21, 2013
LOVE love love
This bodysuit is perfect! I purchased a Medium and it fits great. I'm about 5'6" and 125 pounds. I definitely recommend this top. I hope Bebe makes it in more colors!

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.

Reva, this is what Ocalan says. In fact this is my first time to see
Ocalan accuse PKK to use him for his interest. I can see some feeling of
anger and dispapointment in Ocalan's tone this time about PKK. But at the
same time, he gives freedom to PKK to act on their own. This statement
reminds of me of previous signaling of Ocalan for PKK to resume attacks
Imprisoned Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan says to end talks with
Turkey 30.7.2011
IMRALI ISLAND, a** Jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah
Ocalan has said he will end peace negotiations with the
Turkish government and has demanded his release, the
pro-Kurdish Firat news agency said Friday.
"I will not do anything without them assuring my
security, my health and my liberty," it quoted Kurdistan
Workers' Party (PKK) leader Ocalan, jailed since 1999, as
"Both parties (the government and the PKK he leads from
prison) use me for their own interests. I am putting an
end to this intermediary role. There can be no peace
negotiations under the current conditions," Ocalan said.
Calling on the Turkish state and Qandil, PKK Leader
Ocalan said; "I have finished to play my role. I will
take no more steps from now onward to carry on my role
unless I am provided with an area of health, security and
free movement".
Stating that he will not be able to perform an active leadership
under the current circumstances, Ocalan said the followings; "I had
already expressed that I will no more be able to perform my role
under these conditions, however the attitude of the state and the
AKP is blindingly obvious, they don't take any steps. Both Qandil
and the state's delegation take me in hand and use me as a
From today on, I give an end to be used as a subcontractor as my
current position harms both the state and the Kurds. I will no more

under these conditions. My situation is similar to that of Mandela
in South Africa. And just like he did, I will also not attempt to
take any steps towards peace unless I am set free and have a
possibility to move freely. As known,www.ekurd.netMandela played his
role after the necessary conditions were provided. Operations are
following one another and neither the state's delegation nor the KCK
has done its part. We make no headway in this way. Besides the
process does harm to both the state and the Kurds. My leadership
under these circumstances will no more be for the benefit of
Despite a series of EU-inspired reforms to broaden their rights,
Kurds are frustrated that a government initiative of reconciliation,
announced last year, has so far been inconclusive.
Officials, who oppose Kurdish demands for autonomy, have had
sporadic contacts with Ocalan on the prison island of Imrali, where
he is serving a life sentence.
Earlier this week, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
there was "dissent" in the PKK and claimed Ocalan no longer had
effective control over the rebels.
Since it was established in 1984, the Kurdistan Workers' Party PKK
has been fighting the Turkish state, which still denies the
constitutional existence of Kurds, to establish a Kurdish state in
the south east of the country, sparking a conflict that has claimed
some 45,000 lives.
But now its aim is the creation an autonomous Kurdish region and
more cultural rights for ethnic Kurds who constitute the greatest
minority in Turkey, numbering more than 20 million. A large Turkey's
Kurdish community openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK rebels.
PKK's demands included releasing PKK detainees, lifting the ban on
education in Kurdish, paving the way for an autonomous democrat
Kurdish system within Turkey,www.ekurd.netreducing pressure on the
detained PKK leader Abdullah A*calan, stopping military action
against the Kurdish party and recomposing the Turkish constitution.
Turkey refuses to recognize its Kurdish population as a distinct
minority. It has allowed some cultural rights such as limited
broadcasts in the Kurdish language and private Kurdish language
courses with the prodding of the European Union, but Kurdish
politicians say the measures fall short of their expectations.
The PKK is considered a 'terrorist' organization by Ankara, U.S.,
the PKK continues to be on the blacklist list in EU despite court
ruling which overturned a decisionto place the Kurdish rebel group
PKK and its political wing on the European Union's terror list.

the Turkish govt contacts I've spoken with in the past week all complain
that Ocalan doesn't speak for PKK anymore and that they can't rely on him
in negotiations any longer. How accurate is the statement that Ocalan no
longer commands authority over the PKK? I'd like to get a better sense of
the internal Kurdish fracturing in Turkey with Yerevan's help. At what
point did Ocalan begin to lose significant authority? Is his deputy in
serious discord with him over policy? Do PKK members look to him more
than Ocalan these days for guidance?

Subject: Re: S3* - IRAQ/TURKEY/MIL/CT - 59 Turkish police and soldiers

I don't know if this number is accurate, but it's clear that PKK increased
its attacks and given remarks of Ocalan and other PKK militants, it will
continue to do so. This puts AKP in a difficult position, because it will
have to find a balance between undermining military's political power and
relying on it for the fight against PKK. There are plans to integrate
special police forces to anti-PKK combat groups but they are not ready
My sense is that AKP will prefer a military solution to the Kurdish
problem for few years to come. All signs show that it is in no urgent need
to accommodate with BDP/PKK to settle the Kurdish issue ahead of the new
constitution. Maybe this is its tactic to get the upper-hand ahead of
constitutional debates, but I'm not sure if it will work.
What Erdogan and the government have in their minds is the following. This
army was obsessed with political issues and didn't make sufficient effort
to fight against PKK. They were sluggish and had deep connections within
Ergenekon network that hampered effective anti-terrorist war. Now that we
are at the helm, we will restructure the army and eradicate PKK, and will
show to Turkish people that terrorists can be defeated so long as they
rely on us.
This plan sounds good but I've my doubts about a military solution. I hear
"this time it's over" rhetoric since my childhood and it never ended. The
risky thing for Erdogan is, if AKP cannot defeat PKK as a result of this
strategy, it will not be able to put the blame on some factions within the
military, b/c now people know that there is no military that can resist to
AKP politically.

Sulaimaniya, Aug. 3 (AKnews) a** The Turkish army launched 38 ground and

and lost 57 soldiers and two policemen in the process, says a statement
issued by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK)a**s military wing.
The statement goes on to say that PKK guerrillas launched 15
counter-attacks against the Turkish forces during the same period, and
seven of their fighters lost their lives.
The PKK a** a Kurdish separatist faction in Turkey - has waged a bloody
war against the Turkish state for almost three decades that has claimed
around 45,000 lives to date, most of them civilians.
Although the PKK has declared 8 unilateral ceasefires over the years in
favor of finding peaceful means to resolve the countrya**s Kurdish
issue, the Turkish state - which along with the US and the EU lists the
organization as a a**terrorist groupa** - has officially refused to
enter into negotiations with them.

Tom H's JSOnline Chat
Baseball May 12th, 2009
Yesterday Tom "I hate my job" Haudricourt did a chat at JSOnline. He answered a lot of questions, but he didn't have time for all of them. Luckily, Tom H and I are tight (we listen to goth music together) and he allowed me to put the questions and his answers that they didn't have time for right here on Miller Park Drunk!
Q: mary anne, milwaukee - tom are you on facebook, myspace or twitter?
A: Tom Haudricourt - Why don't you check out my FaceBook profile and find out? Oh that's right I am not an idiot like you who uses FaceBook or MYspace. Go tweet yourself.
Q: milwaukee fan - You are an awesome writer and I love Tony as well. Just a quick question: what color is the sky?
A: Tom Haudricourt - Thanks so much. We do our best around here, we like to think of ourselves as the Woodward and Berninstein of Milwaukee. To answer your question: depends what day.
Q: Mark, Eau Claire - Tom: I was wondering if you could tell me how Braun's first three years thus far compare to some of the other great baseball players. It seems like he's right up there with Pujols and other legends.
A: Tom Haudricourt - I have neither the time or the desire to research such things.
Q: miranda, appleton - tom are you single?
A: Tom Haudricourt - That's really none of your business, but if I was I wouldn't date some loser Brewers fan who reads my chats.
Q: Jack, New Berlin - Tom, I love the Brewers and I love going to Miller Park but the coverage that you and Tony deliver is beyond atrocious. I now get all of my Brewers information from blogs even though I'd prefer it from the JSOnline. Is there any chance of your editors realizing how bad you are and replacing you with better reporters? Or will the JS continue to stick it's head in the sand and act like everything is alright?
A: Tom Haudricourt - I'm glad they let you use the internet at the school for the mentally challenged, retard. Maybe if you knew anything you'd know that I am the best this stupid city will ever have.
Q: brewcrew4eva - Tom I hate Ryan Braun, Rickie Weeks, Mike Cameron, Prince Fielder and Yovanni Gallardo. Is there anyway the team can just clone Corey Hart and Craig Counsell and have them play every position?
A: Tom Haudricourt - No, but there is probably about 100 different ways you can kill yourself. Go try a few.
Q: Jack, New Berlin - Hey Tom me again. How do you think the Brewers will handle Capuano's return from the DL? Julio seems sure to go, but Cap is most valuable as a starter I'd think.
A: Tom Haudricourt - Go f yourself.
Q: Bill, La Crosse - Non Brewers question: Do you think the Cubs will turn it around and start being the team people thought they'd be in the preseason? Also, will the Dodgers still be good without Manny?
A: Tom Haudricourt - I'm paid to cover the Brewers, not the rest of baseball. Please don't waste everyone's time with this. Okay, that about wraps it up. It's not like I'm getting paid by the hour here. See you guys at the ballpark. (Actually, I won't because I'll be in the press box and you'll be in the upper deck.)
Thanks Tom!

Rated 5 out of 5 Best Blankie
Our 8-mo-old daughter goes to sleep with this blankie snuggled against her face and gripped in her fist as she sucks her thumb. BEST BLANKIE. We snipped the bunny off (which she also likes to play with and chew on). I had no idea that she would love this blankie, but MAN, she does. We're buying two more.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MommyP Soft and cuddly, but blanket could suffociate
My baby loves her bunnies (this and the organic Better Basic one). This is soft and cuddly, but the blanket piece is larger and thicker and seems could block air. I wouldn't leave it in baby's crib just in case (at least until she is older and is pass the age when the risk of SIDS higher)

Rated 5 out of 5 by chicagomomtobe Best 'luxury' blankie on the market
Our daughter is a big blankie fan at naps and night, though several months ago hadn't yet begun to discriminate between any particular blankie. As a result we bought and tried many different brands, many with high pricetags, trying to find the blankie that best took a beating (being loved, drooled on, being washed frequently, etc). Barefoot Dreams is head and shoulders above the rest. Their blankets are incredibly soft and do very well being washed AND dried (some brands that shall remain nameless can't be dried in the clothes dryer!! Crazy for any product marketed for babies.) This particular blankie has, over time, become my daughter's favorite. We snipped off the rabbit, which she didn't care about, but she loves the blankie with its satin edges. We just bought two more, to have in rotation. Highly recommended by a mom who's tried all the blankie brands out there.

Transportation in Seoul
Seoul's subway network is the quickest and easiest way to get around the city. Eight lines extend out from the centre with Line 2 (green) travelling in a loop. Travel out of rush hour to avoid the crowds and professional subway pushers.
Taxis are safe and relatively inexpensive. You can hail one from the street or find one at taxi stands. Regular taxis are cheaper but most drivers don't speak English. Deluxe (black) taxis have English-speaking drivers and take credit cards. Rates go up 20% on regular taxis after midnight.
Some areas are best explored on foot and some degree of walking is necessary to see the sights. Use pedestrian walkways and underpasses whenever possible, since drivers don't always stop for pedestrians.
Seoul's many buses are cheaper but more difficult to navigate than the subway. They aren't the quickest way to travel during rush hour, but an exciting way to see the city. There are three types — express (faster, more expensive with seats), regular; and village (cheapest, for travel within a neighbourhood).
Rent your car
Despite traffic, honking horns, weaving traffic and double parking, the key to driving in Seoul is patience and politeness. In an effort to make female drivers feel comfortable, the authorities have even started to paint parking spaces pink!
Transportation tips
A T-money Card provides savings on single fares on buses and the subway. If you're travelling exclusively on the metro, the Commuter Subway Card is valid for 60 trips within a 30-day period and is good for all zones on lines 1-8. Driving in Seoul is not recommended for visitors.

According to Public Works Director Keith Thomas the water problems are within the wells.
"Lightening struck our well in December. We had to go report it to the insurance company and then get an estimate from Mid-South Water. We are currently running off of one well and every time we put chlorine in the well, it does not shut off. The chlorine continues to run out of it and it is being wasted," said Thomas.
Thomas said chlorine costs around $100 and it would not make sense to continue to buy chlorine when it runs out in a day.
"Towns just don't have money like they use to and grants are almost a thing of the past," he continued.
"When I realized that the well was not working, I contacted the phone company. They checked the lines but they did not find any discrepancies. I then called the electric company and they informed us that it was an electrical problem," he added.
He said before they can remedy the water situation, Mid-South Water must repair a panel box that operates the well.
"We are just waiting on them to complete their end of the repair process. I spoke with someone from the company and I was informed that the repairs will be completed by Friday or Monday," said Thomas.
"As soon as they replace the panel, the wells should be able to communicate with each then we will not lose chlorine," he added.
Due to unsafe water conditions, MDEQ recommends that people avoid water contact recreation such as swimming, wading, or fishing in these waters.
In addition, people should avoid eating fish or anything else taken from these waters until further notice.
"Hopefully by March 25 or 26, we should be off of a boil water notice. When everything is fixed, we will have a new well and we should not have a problem with water pressure going down," said Thomas.
"Once it is fixed we will still have to allow the chlorine run through the system about two or three days," he added.
Thomas said the Mississippi Department of Health is the only entity that can lift the boil water notice.
"I am not certified to do water samples but we have a private contractor that handles this. Our water contractor is licensed by the State of Mississippi. After he collects the samples, he will then send them to the Health Department, where they will be tested," said Thomas.
"If the tests reveals that the water is bacteria free then they will give us the O.K. to lift the boil water notice," he added.
Thomas said the well system would be completely repaired before the contractor comes out.
He said although the water issues have been a hassle for the residents, the public works department has been able to do some much needed repair to the ground pipes.
"You can look at it as being a double edged sword. We have repaired several bad leaks. "The pipes in the ground are over 50 years old. My crew has been out repairing pipes for over two weeks. The water system has never been redone since it has been put down," added Thomas.
Thomas said he has been doing everything he can to remedy the situation and he is asking for the citizens to remain patient.
"If the infrastructure holds up after it is repair, we should not go under a boil notice for a while," said Thomas.

Obviously the HD access fee will die away after some time, but the DVR fee will remain, so I wasn't going to trade that off just to save $3 a month.
I mentioned some people on the forum have been able to keep their legacy package and still get the credit. She told me that it wasn't possible, so I asked if there was someone else she could ask about it. She put me on hold for a little bit and came back and told me they did an override and my account would now receive the credit, I was still on the legacy package, and the DVR service was still included. It showed up right away on my online account
Any check yet to see if getting this credit extends the contract? I am only in about 6 months into mine so I don't really care that much, but just curious

I understand those not wanting to use Autopay. Parents, even closed a card once and AOL still billed it and they were billed on a closed credit card, while fighting tooth and nail to close out thier account.
AOL is famous for this. They use to send AOL disk in the mail and anyone that signed up for the free trial was sucked in if they did not read the fine print. Email for cancel was not sufficient you had to call or send a letter and it was in very fine print. How they got away with billing closed cards is beyond me. It happened for 6 months before I found it. The card was closed so never paid attention of the statement as I was paying it down.

This is my first post but I had to write to thank everyone for the info on the free HD access. I just called and talked to a CSR who transferred me to another CSR. I asked if I could get the HD free for two year deal if I signed up for autopay. His response was that if I was eligible, I would get it and if I wasn't eligible, he'd make me eligible. After a few visits to his supervisor, the CSR said I could get the free HD deal. (I assume it was for 2 years and not for life). In the end, he had to send my info to billing because he said his computer wasn't able to get the credit established but said billing would get it done. Every dollar off my monthly bill helps!
Glad you had good luck with CSR roulette.
Posted 05 June 2010 - 06:51 PM
No, any credits do not extend your contract at all. Only receiver upgrades or own to leased receiver replacement will affect your contract
Your right. She didn't say I was locked into a commitment. Only that it would stay up to 24 months if kept current and don't stop service. In my case its just convienent because to do my dbl Hr24 upgrade required a commitment. They will both expire at the same time.

I'm about to pull the trigger on autopay. 1st CSR I spoke to confirmed the $10/month credit for 24 months is how they enter it - given all conditions being in place.
She did mention that - if you prefer a specific date for the autopay, you should do it online. An agent doesn't have that particular item to change.
I may have gotten things back-asswards. I just signed up for autopay online and there never was anyplace to set payment date. Confirmation rec'd and I'm about to call and ask for the free HD.
Bingo. Though, no one [now] thinks I could specify the recurring date for withdrawal. Online or with a CSR.
But, the 24 months free HD was a piece of cake.
I've was told by a CSR that the autopay day is the day that you activate it online so your best bet is to activate it a few days after you are billed but sometime prior to your due date. Or I guess you could do it on your due date.

I pay everything but the mortgage with auto pay. Including utilities. Makes life a lot easier. The reason the mortgage is not, is the larger amount and 14 day window before its late.

I pay every bill I have online, I still have .34 stamps, use paperless billing on all accounts, as its easier to save away, and I always get emailed the bill weeks before the due date, and plenty of time to fix a problem before it needs to be paid. I prefer to have control over when my bills get paid, prefer to keep my checkbook, balanced as I run it, instead of having to wait for somebody to post something.
This is me exactly.

Their adding this stuff to my currently unsupported MRV with 2 hr20-100's.
I'm only being billed $108 and was told I was over the limit for credits with this upgrade but I just signed up for auto-bill-pay last week so I figured, let's give it a shot! Two minutes later, the $10.00 credit for 24 months is applied. I'm stuck in a brand new 2 year commitment anyway so I'm a pretty happy camper at this point.
The only way to make me happier is if the install goes smooth and 3 hr-24's show up but thats probably too much to ask for

In Part 1: Would You Hire this Woman?, we introduced to you a seemingly qualified job applicant who left a sketchy impression during her interview. The question was, "Was she high, or hired?"
Crazy at it may seem, my intuition said – or maybe it was the engineer in me that said – "Hire Lisa." My team was not so sure. So we hired Lisa into a virtual role – one that required no client interaction and very limited engagement with our team.
Lisa was a star! Parked at a home office, she thoroughly managed the projects she was assigned. She took initiative; was a creative problem solver; and managed her time and the company's resources extraordinarily well. Lisa showed up for our all-team meetings and she was a thoughtful contributor. With her presence came a sense of calm, comfort, and she had a pretty decent sense of humor. No one never smelled anything reminiscent of marijuana after Lisa was hired.
We wound up letting go of the candidate we hired for the original role – one that interviewed well and didn't smell like mary jane at the interview. The team agreed that Lisa was a great fit for the role and the business. Like every member of The Image Studios team, Lisa participated in a personal branding session. She received and embraced the feedback about superficial elements of her physical presence: the volume of her speaking voice, her hair color and makeup.
Lisa's successful stint with us paved the way for an even better job opportunity for her. She received a job offer from one of our vendors. And while we were sad to see her go, we knew that the new opportunity was a better fit for Lisa's next phase of professional development.
Our second impression of Lisa, the one during the live interview, was wrong. And we almost passed up the opportunity to work with this fantastic contributor.
Stay tuned for Part 3 – Lisa's Story.

Flights to Spain promises everything from culture to coastlines. From its vibrant capital Madrid and party-loving Barcelona to northern lush Galicia, the Pyrenees Mountains and the gastronomic haven of San Sebastian, travellers to Spain are spoilt for choice. Book airline tickets to Spain for the sandy beaches of the Balearic and Canary Islands. Andalucía in the south is home to the Moorish towns of Seville and Granada. On Spain city breaks to Madrid, visit The Prado Museum for Spanish art as well as the Old Town Plaza Mayor square. Take a flight to Spain's Catalan capital Barcelona to see masterpieces at the Picasso Museum and Gaudí's La Sagrada Família cathedral.
The Spanish love tapas, seafood and Valencia-born paella. Madrid boasts cave-like tapas bars while Barcelona's port area is lined with seafood restaurants. Catalan specialities include pan tomate, bread rubbed with olive oil, tomato and garlic. San Sebastian's tapas, known as pinchos, is considered among the best in Spain. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Spain. Book airline tickets for Easter Holy Week, celebrate Assumption Day on 15 August in Madrid's La Latina neighbourhood or catch Spain flights to see Valencia's Las Fallas bonfires in March.

Would highly reccommend this shoe for everday casual wear as well as going off the beaten path and taking a hike. I think this shoe represents an exceptional value as well.

I have experimented many times in the past with coconut milk. It makes a GREAT substitution in vegan treats. It has a wonderful creamy, rich, smooth flavor, which is why I was so excited to see a 'yogurt' made from this stuff by Turtle Mountain. So Delicious Coconut Milk is a dairy free, soy free, vegan yogurt alternative made with live active cultures.
The taste of the Vanilla flavor is phenomenal. It had the perfect vanilla flavor with an extra 'kick'. The underlying hint of coconut added a richness to the flavor that is unlike any other yogurt I have tried. You will not be disappointed in your choice of this. And, if you've never tried anything with coconut milk before, don't be scared. There are no unusual or off putting flavors.
Each 6 ounce container of So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk Yogurt provides 150 calories, 6 grams of total fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein. This 'yogurt' also contains 6 grams of saturated fat, but coconut is considered to be one of the 'healthy' saturated fats rich in Medium Chain Fatty Acids.
I usually like my yogurt to contain a little more protein, but occasionally I will add this into the mix because of the wonderful flavor. This stuff is so good I would even use it as a healthier dessert to satisfy a sweet tooth. We have also reviewed So Delicious Passionate Mango Coconut Milk Yogurt Alternative and So Delicious Creamy Vanilla Dairy Free Frozen Dessert both of which are worthy!

I was really hoping that my daughter would be back in school Monday. She misses her new teacher (and I miss and love the teachers at our neighborhood school, too). Am I disappointed? Yes.
Monday morning, a parent friend from another state asked me, "Whose side are you on?" and frankly, I couldn't answer the question with just a few words. As many parents who are personally familiar with Chicago Public Schools cannot.
The reality of parent support is complicated and isn't as simple as "I support Rahm and the Board! No, I support the CTU!" I do not support either the CTU or the CPS Board on every issue.
My longer answer on this (and I know that many parents are dealing with the same issues) is here. For example, as a regular CPS neighborhood school parent, I . . .
† Support our school's teachers,
† Want manageable class sizes (even NYC and Boston have kept elementary class sizes under 28 students, many times under 25 students per classroom. We have Kindergartens and First Grades with over 40 kids in them . . . OVER FORTY FIRST GRADERS)
† Want the District to be more honest/transparent about how our tax dollars are being spent in the charter schools (Right now, this is hidden from us. Believe me, I have looked EVERYWHERE for this information. How our tax dollars are spent in charters is not published, and how national organizations are supplementing this funding is not published. The supplemental funding is concerning to me, because that is not a guarantee forever and I wonder who will pick up the tab for those schools once it goes away.
† Do NOT want even more funding pulled from neighborhood schools to be given to charters and selective enrollment schools (where a very small percentage of CPS students qualify for enrollment). Those schools, because they can control enrollment and mobility, already have the advantages that neighborhood schools do not.
† Do not want our kids sweltering or freezing in classrooms.
† Want more CPS parent neighborhood school representation on the school board.
† Do not want to see art, music, recess, and lunch erased from the schools.
AT THE VERY SAME TIME, I am a parent who:
† Wants my kids to be in school.
† Does not want principals to be forced to hire sub-par teachers from recall pools. (And not all teachers from closed schools are sub-par, just as not all teachers from open schools are excellent.)
† Does not want a financially unsustainable pension plan model (right now more money is paid out than is contributed, partly because of poor funding practices and partly because investments of funds targets in order to make the plan viable were not realistic).
† Wants more instructional hours for my kids.
† Supports a reasonable funding model for the District.
And then there are the constraints. The realities we face as parents and citizens include:
† A District funding model where a lot of money is spent at the central office level, but we are not able to give input on how our money is spent there, given detailed information on the value added for that money, etc. CPS has framed their spending at this level as having been reduced, but at first glance, it looks to have just been shifted around on the budgets from either one department to another.
† A state that is last . . . dead last . . . in the nation for funding public education. This is an enormous problem and says much about our priorities as a state. It is not that Illinois is flush with cash, but it has chosen to invest in other things over the years instead of education. Our priorities are so very unbalanced. That we are behind every other state, yet we have one of the third largest cities in the country residing in our state blows my mind. It's embarrassing to us as a state.
† That tying a majority of teacher evaluations to student test scores is unreasonable. The enormous disparities within our own district (Teacher A at Christopher Elementary school with a 21 percent truancy rate, 88 percent poverty rate, 67 percent special ed students, and 28 percent English Language Learners is not going to get the same results as Teacher B at Edgebrook Elementary with a 2 percent truancy rate, 10 percent poverty rate, 13 percent special ed students, and 1 percent English Language Learners. Those stats are real and from the 2011-2012 school year.)
† However, there needs to be SOME way of evaluating teachers. That poorly performing teachers are allowed to stay in front of the classrooms for as long as they do is unacceptable.
† The fact that the City of Chicago has to fund the pensions of all of its teachers AND contribute to the pensions of every other district in Illinois is unfair and unreasonable to Chicago taxpayers and slashes into our budgets. This needs to change.
† It is very, very difficult for CPS schools to recruit teachers to many schools within the district. Working conditions are unreasonable at many schools even with the current teacher's pay model (which is excellent when adjusted for the cost of living and compared to New York, DC, Boston, Los Angeles and other major cities. But is closer to average when you factor in the class sizes that we have to deal with here, though not every teacher is affected by the class size issue at every school.)
† This City administration and this board, in their words and actions, have been extremely disrespectful to parents and teachers. This trust will be difficult to regain.
† The long history of broken promises by the City and the board (under previous administrations) has set up a culture of suspicion and distrust that is making this entire process more unwieldy, inefficient and difficult.
I could go on for a lot longer, but you get my point. It's complicated. And neither the CTU nor CPS is going to make it simpler for CPS parents to understand the complications that we face in Chicago Public Schools.
So who will?
We have to. No one is going to do this for us. Parents need to push for the redesign of how public school is done in Chicago.
It cannot be outsourced to the Board or the CTU. It cannot be outsourced to the for-profit or not-for-profit charter organizations.
Join your Local School Council. Join groups like Raise Your Hand. Get involved with the educational committees of organizations such as the North River Commission. This is the best civics lesson you will ever give to your children.

Hello everybody! I am so excited and nervous to be here!!!!
We had known we were pregnant for 3 weeks before I made an appt. with my OB. This will be our 12 pregnancy and first baby. We are now 7 weeks today. I usually have miscarried by now. We have only told 5 people and will not be sharing until next month after our ultrasound and have visual confirmation that all is good.
I have been doing so much praying and putting everything into Gods hands as I can not do this without him. My family has been through this so much that they don't even want to know until we "pop" as some have said.
We have great faith this pregnancy will be viable. The Hcg was 4,607. I've never been over 900. I am having so many symptoms I have never experience. In the past I was never able to get pregnant without being on a pill, patch or shot, or ovulation meds. We were not trying and we were actually scheduled for a tubligation.
This truly is a miracle from above!!!

My first time being pregnant and when I found out I was so scared cause of morning sickness I felt horrible, I was supposed to be married and have a house and a job before I get pregnant but it's here and we have to take responsibility (my boyfriend of 9 years and I) hence am trying to learn as much as I possibly can so I can welcome a new born to the world. So learning everyday from this site my mom, aunt and hopefully you ladies will help so much... Glad to be apart of this group i feel at home.
Ladies - please pray for the baby and I. I started spotting brown late Saturday night, which turned red on Saturday. It has been on and off since then. I just the left the Dr after my 3rd ultrasound this weekend. The baby still has a heartbeat of 160, which is stronger since Saturday, but the baby hasn't grown since then and measuring behind. The Dr. isnt worried about the growth in 2 days or measuring behind, since I hadn't had a official crown-rump measuremnt until this weekend.
But the blood continues. So please pray that my baby keeps fighting and grows big and strong.

My interest in mycology (mushrooms!) has increased to the point where it seems the next step is to invest in a microscope in order to identify a greater range of mushrooms (through spores!). What are some things I should know before I buy one? I know for spore identification I am going to need at least a 500x magnification (if not x1000), however, seeing as I don't have the backing of an institution I am limited in terms of expense. Many amateur mycologists advise picking up used ones from schools, universities and labs that are cleaning house. What should I be looking for in a used microscope? How can I make sure that I am not buying a dud? In addition, I am particularly interested in a microscope capable of attaching my dSLR (a Canon 5D2) in order to more easily record results. Anything to know beforehand about mounting a camera to a microscope? What are some additional educational resources for an amateur? Books? Videos? Forums? What about the best place to buy scientific supplies like slides/stains etc? asked May 24 '11 at 10:42 oliver |
Microscope marketing states that the scope has 1000x magnification capability but with a poorer quality objective lens and functionality overall you will not acheive this. Used microscopes from school are a great idea but ofcourse may have been mishandled by the students. A microscope dealer will be knowledgeable enough to help you out so as to be sure you are not getting a badly serviced microscope or poorly operating one. Most of all, you do not need all the bells and whistles that some company's will tell you could be useful. The basics and a good understanding of how to prepare slides will help. I have a website http://www.microscopemaster.com with articles on the compound light microscope, slide preparation and others. Hope they can help you to gain some more understanding before you drop the dollars. Best of luck! linkanswered May 29 '11 at 18:10 |
I would buy an inexpensive one to begin with. You may not need more than it offers, and if you do you'll be more educated to find the qualities you do want better. Higher powers like 1000 can be tricky to use. linkanswered May 24 '11 at 21:17 Kevin Kelly |
We use stereo microscopes around our office daily, and typically find them used from surplus shops that buy equipment from failed biotech and aerospace companies. They usually start around $400 for used equipment, though I doubt you'd be looking at 100x lenses (with 10x first stages) for the same kind of bargain. The cheapest way you can get into it would be to buy a dissecting scope from somewhere like this: http://www.dissectingmicroscope.com/ or http://www.amscope.com/ They have great deals. The apertures on the lenses aren't that great, but it's a start, and they have scopes starting at $200, plus they have a usb camera you can use in place of one of the lenses to do photos/videos for really cheap, I think around $100 for the camera add on. linkanswered May 31 '11 at 10:04 shroppy |
Generally you'll find that imported microscopes often have optics that far exceed the needs of the average microscopist (yes, even professionals). Often with the brands, as with anything, you're paying for the brand recognition more than any increased quality. You definitely want to look for a compound microscope (as opposed to a stereo microscope) for viewing spores. This microscope (http://www.microscope.com/omano-om36l-beekeeper-special.html) is actually used by beekeepers to look for microsporidians in bee guts. It'd probably suit your needs, or if it's too much for your budget, there are much more affordable options on that same site, some as low as $70. If you want to attach your DSLR to a camera, you'll typically need a microscope camera adapter kit and Canon step ring that will attach to your camera and one of the eyepieces of the microscope. Good luck with your shrooms! linkanswered Dec 15 '11 at 12:40 |
Microscopes from institution are a smart concept but of course may have been mishandled by the learners. A microscopic lens supplier will be experienced enough to help you out so as to be sure you are not getting a poorly maintained microscopic lens or poorly managing one. Most of all, you do not need all the gadgets that some organization's will tell you could be useful just like laboratory microscopes. linkanswered Jul 31 '12 at 01:29 |

Please.. Please.. bare with us here.. this site was designed and built back in 1996 (19 years ago)
by one guy using a text editor (PFEDit) with the HTML technology of the day. Today this technology is woefully outdated
and up against the newer sites, looks quite amateurish. But it would be just too expensive to rewrite this site using 2015
cutting edge technologies. As long as it continues to do the basic job it was designed to do, the site
is going to remain as is for the time being. I would entertain offers to buy the site if there is anyone out there who wants
a great google website page ranking (PR) and search listing placements.

bruiser ring
by COLLETTE ISHIYAMA
Collette Ishiyama is a jewelry designer based in NYC's East Village. After studying painting at Pratt, Ishiyama realized her aspirations spanned beyond the two dimensional. Her love of creating dioramas and miniatures propelled her to try her hand at creating jewelry. Soon she was apprenticing for leading jewelers in New York and had found her niche.
Collette Ishiyama's debut collection, "Emerald City," is influenced by Egyptian jewelery, samurai warriors and the omnipresent sliver of the Chrysler building. Each piece is an arcane world of its own, lined with shimmering black stingray leather. Each model is meticulously carved by Ishiyama and cast in Manhattan.
