House Republican leader optimistic about fall elections
Rep. John Boehner argues that his party might even regain the majority.
Andy Nelson / The Christian Science Monitor
Washington - House Republican leader John Boehner argues that political pundits are wrong and that his party will pick up seats in the House in the 2008 election and might even regain the majority it lost in November 2006.
"We will gain seats this year, period. I mentioned the difficulty, the challenge we will have in earning back a majority. But that is my goal.... I am leading an effort for us to earn our way back, and I think it is possible," Representative Boehner said at a Monitor-sponsored lunch with reporters on Thursday.
The blunt-spoken Boehner said that "part of the basis" for his optimism is that the presidential primary battle between Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama could lead lasting scars. "One side is going to be sorely disappointed when they have a nominee," the House minority leader said. "What isn't measured, and can't be measured, is the number of people who are disappointed who just don't show up and vote.... The longer this goes on, there are going to be some very disappointed people."
The eventual Democratic nominee will have weaknesses that Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, can exploit, Boehner said. "We are going to face either one of the most polarizing people in American politics or the most liberal senator in the United States Senate," he said.
Impartial experts take a much dimmer view than Boehner of the Republicans' chances of picking up seats in the House this fall. If Republicans win a majority of House seats, Boehner would be in line to be speaker.

David uses his personal experience as a coach, personal trainer and competitive runner to evaluate exercises, techniques and products to help high-performance athletes exceed their performance goals. David's own aspirations drive him to continually refine his training processes and push his own body to new levels of performance. Essentially, he has created a personal "laboratory" to discover new training methods and prove his theories.
After years of experimentation, David is ready to share his training methods with other competitive athletes. His new 2-disc training DVD, Body Protection, is packed with 90 minutes of instruction and 60 minutes of example exercises. These exercises are the basis of the program David teaches his high-performance clients during their in-person training sessions.
Body Protection™ is a movement-based training program designed to prevent injury and optimize athletic performance in any sport. The components of the program provide competitive athletes withstrength/endurance, speed/explosion and flexibility, while developing the body's connective tissue.
This multi-muscle, multi-directional, and multi-functional series of exercises also stimulates an athlete's proprioception which promotes better balance and stabilization.
The program is broken into four stages: Foundational Training, Strength/Endurance Training, Speed/Explosion Training and Flexibility Training. Filmed at the Movenpick Resort and Spa at the Dead Sea in Jordan the DVD teaches a sport-specific three-dimensional warm-up, a high-performance training program, and a three-dimensional cool-down. Watch this 1-minute DVD video trailer to learn more:
For a limited time, customers purchasing the DVD set will receive a complimentary 20-minute Telephone or Skype Video Consultation with David to customize the training program to your chosen sport. This offer (a $40 value) is available to customers purchasing one of the first 1,000 DVDs. Visit www.BodyProtection.com for more information on the training program, testimonials and training services.
At 50 years old, David has proven that he can consistently run a sub-5 minute mile. But running 12 mph is not something you just wake up and accomplish without a lot of help. It takes special equipment, proper nutrition, and an understanding of how your body changes. David relies on a team of seven consultants to help him research, understand, and address the changing demands of his body. He has invited his personal consultants to share some of their unique health & fitness ideas via his blog. And to help you achieve your goals, these consultants are available to answer your questions.
David is a coach, author, speaker, and athlete. When he turned 45 in 2008, he celebrated with an event. It was personal challenge; a feat of speed. He was going to run 20 one-mile road races, in 20 weeks, in 20 different cities throughout the United States and Canada... each under 5 minutes. It was an experience of a lifetime. Every year since, David has developed and accomplished new personal, professional, and athletic challenges. The knowledge and experiences from these events is integrated into his coaching, training, writing, and speaking.
David's latest book, Creating Amazement, is available from Amazon.com [view excerpt]. The book shares 20 attributes that he learned during his 2008 event, and puts into perspective what it takes to achieve truly amazing results in your own business and personal lives. His other books Play Better. Live Better. and Tennis Unlimited are also available on Amazon.com.
David's life is dedicated to helping athletes of all ages maximize their athletic performance and achieve their personal goals. We hope that you find his efforts inspirational.
Diane Alter followed David during the 7 weeks of the 2012 Isles Mile Challenge, receiving updates on his progress every step of the way. The article that Diane wrote following the completion of the event was published in November's Bermuda Now Magazine. View Magazine Website. View Article PDF. |

August Wilson
From MN150
Winning Nomination
Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright August Wilson died at age 60 on October 2, 2005. The Pittsburgh native lived in St. Paul from 1978 to 1990, where his meteoric rise to fame began. Before his untimely death, Wilson accomplished his immense life's goal, to create one play for each decade of the twentieth century chronicling the black experience in America. With the premiere of Radio Golf in 2005, the last of the ten-play cycle which Wilson started in 1984 with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was complete. A self-educated man, the high school dropout credited the Pittsburgh Public Library for opening the door to a vast and varied world of ideas. Wilson often remarked that his public library card was his most prized possession during his youth. August was a familiar face along east Lake Street and Selby Avenue in the early 1980s where he frequented many coffee shops, bars, and cafes to write and rewrite the poetry and plays that the voices he carried around compelled him to put to napkins, scraps of paper, and eventually yellow notepads. Drawing inspiration from St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre, Wilson won a Jerome Fellowship to the Playwrights Center. There he learned to hone his incomparable skill. After his acceptance to the National Playwrights Conference at the O'Neill Theater Center in Connecticut, nearly all of Wilson's works went on Broadway. Many awards and honors were bestowed on Wilson including Pulitzer Prizes for Fences and The Piano Lesson. He was most proud of the fact that through his work he created opportunities for black performers on Broadway, in television, and most importantly to Wilson, at black and regional theaters across America. After the recent death of his friend and colleague Benjamin Mordecai, August wrote this tribute, "There is a grace beyond matter. It is our way of knowing, and accepting, the splendor of death with its voluminous atlas. We find it when we must."
I knew August when he worked at Little Brothers- Friends of the Elderly.
History(1945-2005) An emerging star finds his voice in Minnesota Born in Pittsburgh, August Wilson had published a few poems and had begun writing some plays in 1977 when he came to St. Paul to rewrite a play a friend was directing at the newly founded Penumbra Theatre. The next year, Wilson settled in St. Paul, where he stayed until moving to Seattle in 1990. During his years in St. Paul, especially through his association with Penumbra and with Minneapolis's Playwrights' Center, Wilson wrote an exceptional number of groundbreaking plays that illuminated African American culture, including Pulitzer Prize winners Fences and The Piano Lesson. He later told the New York Times, "Having moved from Pittsburgh to St. Paul, I felt I could hear voices for the first time accurately." The pivotal moment in Wilson's career came in 1980, when he was awarded a $2,400 grant for a year's "membership" in the Playwrights' Center, funded by the Jerome Foundation. At the time, there were few organizations like the Playwrights' Center in the country, where emerging talents could hone their skills and have their works produced and critiqued by peers and mentors. Wilson used his time at the Playwrights' Center wisely, drafting and rewriting two plays: Fullerton Street and Jitney. John Fenn, who moderated a reading of Jitney, later recalled, "There was a general agreement that this was something pretty hefty. . . . We knew it was bound for glory." For his part, Wilson said, "The workshop I had with John Richardson on Fullerton Street opened up the world of playwriting as nothing had before, and armed with that glimpse of its possibilities and the confidence gained from my acceptance as a Jerome Fellow, I sat down and wrote Ma Rainey." Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was the first of Wilson's plays to gain national recognition; it debuted on Broadway in 1984. After its success, Wilson remained active in the Twin Cities theatrical community and a regular at several St. Paul bars and restaurants, where he wrote many of his plays. August Wilson moved to Seattle in 1990 but kept close ties to his adopted midwestern home. St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre regularly produced his work, dedicating a whole season to his plays in 2002-2003. Before he died, in 2005, he chose the Playwrights' Center as one of four national institutions to receive donations in his name. Resource Links

That could really be a 'keeper' of a plumeria. Such an attractive color. Is that color with heat or without heat? Is it fragrant? If it turns out to be consisently that color and if the plant has a good habit, you should consider naming and registering it! Where did the seed come from? |
- Posted by arctictropical Z4 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 12 at 14:02
Thanks everyone! I think I replied to all by e-mail except Dave. Dave, I think I kept the seed packets that I bought two years ago. I'll check them out and let you know who the parent is. The heat that produced this blossom was from high intensity grow lights in my basement. The temperature was about 75 to 80 degrees. Since I live in a cool mountain valley in extreme northern Utah, I can only put my plumeria plants outside from mid June to about mid September. I had frost on my lawn this morning. It snowed last night in the mountains about 8 miles from my home. |

I am a beginner gardener who is starting a garden from

and proud of what I've done so far. This is the second
year I've been working on it and I've got a lot to learn
but I'm really enjoying it.
My home is in south-central Mississippi so the things I
deal with are heat, humidity, and soil that does not drain well. On the other hand, we have a very long growing

I am enjoying GW very much! I have learned so much from reading the posts and really appreciate the seeds and

Not a bad start to July, with this weeks update! It might be a quiet time of year for game releases in general, but there's a lot of cool stuff here on Nintendo consoles, at least. Let's get started!
The big Wii U release this week is Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, which quietly launched earlier this week. If you haven't already picked this one up on another platform, do it now! On top of the Metroidvania style platforming, there's plenty of sly references to older games, including our favourite plumber brothers (hint: Mario and green Mario). Give it a whirl!
The 3DS has also got a few cool games this week, with Chibi-Robo! Let's Go, Photo! and Pokémon Art Academy smashing their way onto the eShop. Draw Pokémon kinda poorly like me? Let's improve to 'oh, I suppose it is a Squirtle, if you squint a bit' after a bit of practice! And Chibi-Robo will give you an excuse to use those two dots on the outside of your 3DS. That's right, they're cameras!
So what are we all grabbing this week? Let us know in haiku in the comments below!

He most recently founded Ronix Wakeboards and Radar Skis, where he continued his love of modifying skis to dramatically change the way a ski performed.

Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Samsung released the 840 Pro in three capacity sizes - 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. We've already looked at the 128GB model around a month ago and plan to scale to the 512GB over time. Today we're putting the 256GB drive through the ringer.
Samsung does a good job providing performance data to end users on their webpage. The 256GB rates at 540MB/s sequential read, 520MB/s sequential write. IOPS performance is very impressive, up to 100K IOPS random read and 90K IOPS random write speed. Samsung does not go into any detail at all about their NAND. We would really like to know the program erase cycles, but at this time Samsung doesn't provide any details at all other than it's MLC on the 840 Pro and TLC on the 840.
Samsung's 840 and 840 Pro ships in 7mm z-height, a nice feature since many ultrabooks on the market use either mSATA or 7mm 2.5" form factors.
Samsung backs the 840 Pro with a five year warranty. After looking at Newegg we found only a handful of single and two star ratings for the 840 Pro 256GB, a good indication that the product is reliable, most of the star ratings were five or four with excellent feedback. Newegg shows the 256GB drive at $249.99 at the time of writing. That price also includes free two day shipping.
The 840 Pro product line uses the same Samsung Magician Software as the 840. The same software package also rolls over to the Pro line with data migration software included in the bundle. We covered the software in the 840 500GB review last month.

Due to this the gear in 25 mans will be slightly better than the gear in 10 man versions.
IF blizzard did bring in the same gear for both types then i do think we would see a rapid decline in the amount of 25 man guilds and a large increase in 10 manning guilds. There are those who would prefer the 'epicness' of fighting with 24 other players but simply organising 15 more people for the sake of 'doing it with more' is not really justification in an of itself.
In summary, 25 man raiding gear being slightly better is a 'carrot on a stick' to give people more incentive to run 25 mans, in my opinion this is fine.
What i think alot of people seem to suggest is that 10 man raiders and 25 man raiders are seperate people, personally we've set up a guild from being a core of hardcore 10 man raiders (dedicated people) and we've expanded to allow us to incorporate 25 man raids.
When WotLK first starts up we'll no doubt begin with 10 man Naxx, learn alot of the encounters then by the time we're half way through and some new people are gearing we'll start progressing the 25 mans once to twice a week while running the 10 mans 3-4 times a week!
I am really happy Blizz have understood that the 10 man raiding model has opened up raiding and they've agreed to provide a parrallel line f progression for 10 man raids also.
In summary:
25 man raiding is harder ot organise than 10 man raiding so the gear is slightly better.
I am looking forward to the intamcy of a 10 man progression line while at the same time looking forward to organising some nice 25 member raids into the larger versions.
(And on the ultimate plus side it would be so much nicer to go into a 25 man raid with everyone already having 'done' anotehr version of the boss previously!)

If you create a DK then you'll have to level a whole 15 levels before experiancing the new content, while i do agree that many people will want to roll deathknights eventually I Highly doubt many people will roll one as soon as the expansion hits.
Just think about it logically, you can either go running off into Northrend and start experimenting with the new instances, quests and zones OR you can start levelling in plaguelands, Honor Hold, Zangamarsh, Nagrand... For the next 2-3 weeks (lets say 100 hours playtime).
Personally i dont think we'll see such a huge influx.
What i DO think we'll see is alot of people creating deathknights later on or Alts as a new character to level to 70 due to the increased starting level. The idea that we would all roll Deathknights on Expansion day is ridiculous.

Anti Keylogger Shield may offer some protection for your account {WoW}
Apr 12th 2008 10:42AM If you already have a key logging software on you machine then typing your username in is going to get you hacked.
Having it auto saved is hardly dumb if it requries the keylogging software to be slightly more advanced. At best it prevents you being hacked, at worst you're in the same position you would've been in anyway.
I think some of you are losing the bigger picture here, we're not attempting to make these password and account details 100% impregnable to any and all intruders onto your machine with limitless resources and a burning desire to get YOUR password. It is simply a way of ensuring a bit more security for yourself.
Doing what I outlined above will prevent a plain simple 'key logger' accessing your information very easily. If they're going to the trouble of saving all the data used on your clipboard, scanning the text files in your wow directory and plain old spying on your keyboard from the tree across the road they're going to get your account anyway!
A little bit of perspective here please guys.
Anti Keylogger Shield may offer some protection for your account {WoW}
Apr 12th 2008 10:23AM Concieveable or likely?
I had not heard of any key loggers using a clipboard recording function, really only hearing about them actually logging keys, but if this is a widespread thing keyloggers do then please say so :)
Anti Keylogger Shield may offer some protection for your account {WoW}
Apr 12th 2008 10:07AM After a spate of hackings in my guild we had a talk and came up with a foolproof way of 'never' being hacked.
Maybe someone can find a hole in this and if so please let me know but this is how we purport to never again be hacked.
1: First of all make sure you have no existing key logging software on your machine :)
2: Without wow open right click on your desktop (or anywhere) and select 'crete new text document'
3: Write a random password in this file and save it, for example Leadership77breaksconverted.
4: By using ONLY the copy and paste functions (ie: Ctrl+c [copy] and Ctrl + v [Paste] or right clicking) select this password and go onto the wow website, change your password to this new one.
5: Whenever you log in DO NOT TYPE YOUR PASSWORD. Just open up this text file and select the text then Ctrl+c Ctrl+v it into the password box whenever you need to log in :)
This works by basically meaning you will never again actually type in your wow password. Any keylogging software you ever DO accidently download will only record a Ctrl+c Ctrl+v key press, that could be anything ^.^
If you want to be really anal about it all tick the 'remember my account name' in the wow login and you wont even type that lol.
Ok thats pretty much it. I dont see how anyone can ever be hacked using this process, in fact I actually have now found it even quicker to log in after learning to use it a few times :)

Vancouver city council votes in favour of developing regional ban on shark-fin products
Vancouver council has directed staff to work with the cities of Richmond and Burnaby on developing a regional ban on the sale of shark-fin products.
In a unanimous vote by council today, staff were instructed to develop a "common approach" with the other two cities, and to report back on the options.
"It's impossible to ban shark fin only in the city of Vancouver, simply because people will cross the Knight Street Bridge and go to Richmond, and Richmond the same thing—well if we ban in Richmond, people will just cross the Knight Street Bridge back to Vancouver, or maybe they'll go out to Surrey or they'll go out to Burnaby or somewhere else," said Vision Vancouver councillor Kerry Jang, who introduced the motion today (September 18).
"In this way, we can actually make a big impact in reducing the demand in this country for shark-fin products and help save the shark species."
Jang noted shark fin has a "revered place" in Chinese culture.
"In the ancient days, this was used to honour your guests," he said. "However, times have changed. You don't have to serve shark fin to honour your guests."
Other cities in the region that have recently banned shark-fin products include Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Port Moody and Maple Ridge.
Jang noted the intent of his motion is not to go as far as banning the possession of shark fin, but to prohibit future sales and trade of the product.
While he said there's no specific timeline, he estimated it could take about a year before staff report back to council with potential bylaws and an approach for implementing a ban.
The motion was passed during city council's first meeting since its summer break today.
" he estimated it could take about a year before staff report back to council with potential bylaws and an approach for implementing a ban."
Fucking idiots take at least a year just to write a report.
Epic FAIL!
It is very clear now that our big problems are solved, our #1 priority must be fish!

I have written previously about the Workforce Training grants (both University Based Training and Community College based training) provided through the HITECH Act. The goal is to train 51,000 individuals in various jobs (12 identified) over the next five years.
Yesterday, Health and Human Services (HHS) announced additional funding to support health care training across the country. Yet another great opportunity for support of the lifelong learning our profession subscribes to! Grants are awarded by state and Institution. I know of several RDs who are taking advantage of these grants –and would love to hear more!
Okay, I'd like to know how RDs are taking advantage of these grants? I looked for the state of Oklahoma. For the University of Oklahoma they looked like they were mainly for nursing. Can Nutritional Science Departments apply also?? Peggy Turner
Hi Peggy, Great question--both the University programs and the Community College Consortia training through HITECH have already been awarded. The programs on listed on the blog and the ONC website--students can apply to any under the requirements of each program. Between the two programs there are 12 different "positions" which a student can focus on. Many times these programs are out of nursing informatics programs, but are there to embrace the same support mechanism--training 51,000+ professionals to assist in the implementation of EHRs.

text: Vancouver's Sleepy Tom doesn't stop does he? This week the Fool's Gold producer unleashed his bootleg of Breach's club-smasher "Jack" and the result is BASS. Sleepy Tom completely revamps the tune to make what essentially amounts to an original track keeping the original vocal samples as the only remaining elements. As much as we loved the original (and still bump it on the regular), we're thinking this bootleg is going to keep "Jack" in rotation longer than we'd realized it would be. And you know what we love even more? The artwork. 90′s kids standup!

During marathon cookie baking this week I finally got to talk to my mom about some family vernacular... I grew up referring to the counter as the "sink." This, of course, caused confusion when I talked to other people and when I got married. I still say it sometimes but I mostly say counter. Has anyone else heard of this? My mom grew up in a typical 40s fitted kitchen. She hypothesized that it have started when sinks where free-standing and had a lot of included horizontal surface. She said that when she says "sink" she does typically think of counter adjacent to the sink. BUT in almost every kitchen she has ever lived in there wasn't much counter not adjacent to the sink...(really small kitchens) I wish I could ask my grandmother. She was so precise about language and shared our fascination with why we say what we do...but she isn't here to ask. She presumable taught my mom to say "sink" for "counter." She did not grow up in a normal home but in an institutional setting (convents) so maybe that plays in? So, anyway...does anyone else say "sink" to mean the counter?? |

shannononaz: Yes. I understand perfectly. Now please hand me the warsh rag from the deemp zink. |

Sounds reasonable. I'm guessing that it was only the counter right by the sink (not the fridge or range) which is where we usually put dirty dishes. In this picture, I would say the canister/cookie jar is on the sink, not on the counter :)
Dating myself here, but I remember some of my childhood friends moms calling it the 'drainboard'... |
Treb, my mom says warsh rag, she goes to Warshington, and sometimes visits Chicargo. My grandmother, not Mom's mother, said Bruick (Buick). These are not ignorant, uneducated people. They are both well-traveled. But they both seem to have a surfeit of Rs that they sprinkle liberally throughout their speech. Back to OP's question, I would be clueless if I were told to set the glass "on" the sink, but I think lavender_lass nailed it. |
Oh, I have a million of these from my family...both my grandmothers said "warsh" rag, the vacuum cleaner was the sweeper, one of them always wanted to go to "Hi-Wi-Ya" but was afraid to get on a plane!! That same grandmother had a sink exactly like the one pictured above and up until the day she died she would say "put the dishes on the sink" and let's "sit a spell" before we "warsh 'em up". God I loved those women and miss them terribly! Thanks for the throwback!! |
- Posted by smallhouse (My Page) on Sun, Dec 22, 13 at 15:11
I have had elementary school teachers who said "Warshington." And I live in Warshington. |
Both my mom and grandmother told us to put things on the zinc. I was never sure if that referred to the material their original counters were made from or if it meant sink (my Irish grandmother was indentured to a German family). We always called the fridge the ice box. |
Dating myself here, but I remember some of my childhood friends moms calling it the 'drainboard'... I say this too (native Ohioan). Spouse, born and raised in Scotland, looks at me oddly every time I say it. To be fair, right now I have a sink in a vintage sink cabinet where the sink and integrated drainboard take up 95% of the counter/surface area, so "drainboard", "sink" and "counter" are pretty much the same space. |
Isn't it funny that when "grands" (parents and children) mispronounce and misuse words we are charmed, and find it endearing? But my mother putting a "t" sound in swiffer is so annoying! And now a couple of my children are grown enough to start rolling their eyes at some of my idiosyncrasies, too. Perhaps this is the same "once removed" phenomenon for decor trends - if it was current for our parents, we hate it...but if our grands liked it, it is beloved vintage. |

When you mentioned this, I immediately went back to my younger days growing up at my grand-dad's house. We had a sink not much unlike what Lavender posted, complete with the painted white metal cabinets...only the posted sink doesn't appear to have the chips that our well-loved one did. I can remember cooking dinner for the two of us and then we would both take our positions at the sink - he would wash and I would dry and put away. It was all "sink". And looking back, there really wasn't much in the way of counter space (so why is it NOW that I think I have to have a giant counter expanse when I had almost literally none when learning to cook). We had an eat-in kitchen and looking back, most of my prep-work was done at the sink or on the kitchen table. There was nothing fancy about it at all, but a ton of wonderful moments in that kitchen. Goodness...thank you so much to the OP who brought this up - allowing me to take that little stroll down Memory Lane. |
- Posted by schoolhouse (My Page) on Mon, Dec 23, 13 at 15:55
Yes, I growing up it was "put it on the sink", "goes in the sink", it meant anywhere "at the sink". I still say it. |
Nan - fridge is "Icebox" for me as well. That is what my Dad always called it.... |
I grew up with a sink/integrated drainboard like LL's photo. My mom would wash my hair with me lying on my back, head over the sink. I would call that entire unit a "sink" but I wouldn't call counter in other parts of the kitchen "sink." |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Mon, Dec 23, 13 at 19:32
I grew up in a very old house with an unfitted kitchen and a sink similar to the one shown. We would set things on the sink, or set things on the table. We didn't have counters. |
We had a usual sort of sink with surrounding counter, but all the counter in the general area of the sink was called "the sink." I suppose I still sometimes say, "Just put it up on the sink." when I mean the counter near the sink. Funny pronunciations: my friend (who grew up in Los Angeles) refers to that place you park your car as the "grr-arge." I think her parents were originally mid-western. Names out of time: my grandmother always referred to her car as "the machine." Grandma was an adult when affordable Model T's began rolling off the production line in 1914, but she was still referring to The Machine in the late 50s. My dad called our underpants "drawers," which I presume originated with the same grandmother. My children are familiar with that term, but I don't think my grandson is. |
Icebox, yup. And how about 'Davenport'? |
My grandmother (born 1899) would say that she was going to "hoover" the carpet. My other grandmother would also say "on the sink" and she had the same as pictured above. Any kitchen work was done on the kitchen table -- her little kitchen had the sink unit, a stove, an "icebox" and the small table. No room for anything else! Particularly today, I am happy to recall her and her little house. |

My 5 yo will climb up into the recliner with her Grandpa and "sit a spell." She thinks that they then need to spell words. So he spells with her out loud. C-A-T spells cat, etc. So funny. |
Thanks to everyone who weighed in! I am sure the saying comes from sinks with drainboards etc., but I have never known anyone else who says that... |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, Dec 26, 13 at 9:56
So many funny words and mispronunciations. Prespiration and the one that really cracked me up was my old sec'y who had "oakmeal" for breakfast because it had so much fiber! |
Here's another one both my grandmother's used...anyone know what a stove "eye" is? |
No, what is a stove eye? And does anyone else still call any round, flat musical recording a "record"? I used to sound out of touch ("mom, it's a CD"), but now that vinyl is back in, I sound hip. |
Stove eye was how my grandmothers both referred to the burners...they would say turn on "the front eye on the left" or something along those lines. I've never heard the phrase outside of my family. |

I love these anecdotes about our beloved grannies and grandpas! My Grandma Elsie always served something she called "Solution." A very frugal woman, she saved everything, and every left over beverage went together into a pitcher - iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch, orange juice, etc. Since the leftover beverages were all different colors and amounts, "Solution" was always a different color. (I was always a little bit afraid of it, partly due to the odd, vaguely scientific name and partly because it never looked the same from one visit to the next.) My inlaws say "eye-talian" instead of Italian, and pronounce coupon as if there's a "y" in it: "kyoo-pon" instead of "koo-pon." Both sound odd to me, and we all grew up in the midwest so it's not a regional thing as far as I know. (My FIL also calls our armoire a highboy; first time he said it I had no idea what he was talking about.) |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, Dec 26, 13 at 16:53
Dad always had an expression that I'd never heard. When he didn't want us to talk back or make up a story, he'd say, "Don't give me none of your rhubarb!" He learned Polish before he learned English so he always had some odd pronunciations...in addition to dese, dems and dose, he always had a sangwich for lunch. |

Student Learning Matters in Teacher Evaluation
As shown in a recent Ed Trust–West report, teaching strongly influences student achievement: The average student taught by a highly effective English-language arts teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) gained half a year more learning than a student placed with an ineffective teacher. Unfortunately, LAUSD does not yet consider teacher impact on student learning when assessing teacher performance. But a new court ruling is expected to usher in change. In Doe v. Deasy, the court found that LAUSD has been violating California law by not including some measure of student performance in its teacher evaluation system.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court concluded that California's Stull Act mandates that teacher evaluations include state standardized test scores as a measure of student learning. This provides LAUSD with leverage to replace its current evaluation system with a more meaningful one. But LAUSD will still have to make tough decisions about other evaluation system elements, including: how to measure student progress in grades and subjects without state standardized tests; how to incorporate student progress and other system components into overall performance ratings; and how evaluators and educators will be trained in implementing the new systems.
Across the nation, many other districts and states are struggling with these same types of decisions in efforts to inform and improve instruction. Luckily, a few school systems are pioneering new evaluations that could provide valuable insight. Tennessee is one such state, and a new report by the State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE) provides an in-depth look at how educators there are responding to their new evaluation system.
SCORE finds that Tennessee's new system, which includes student progress as a significant component, has had a positive effect on setting clearer, more rigorous expectations of what constitutes effective teaching. Additionally, more specific, frequent feedback has led to greater teacher self-reflection and collaboration about how to improve instruction and student outcomes.
As expected with any new system, several areas, identified by SCORE, still need tweaking. The report found that while principals are mostly positive about the system, teachers are less convinced of its benefits. This appears partly attributable to perceptions about whether the system has been well implemented. Many teachers feel their administrators lack the capacity or skills to assess practice reliably, and that teacher access to quality professional-learning opportunities tied to their performance feedback is also lacking. The design of the student-growth measure for teachers of non-tested grades and subjects has also been a point of contention. SCORE offers several recommendations for addressing these shortcomings, such as supporting school and district leaders to improve their instructional leadership and holding them accountable for doing so.
As LAUSD and others move toward implementing evaluation systems that better measure teaching quality, drawing upon lessons learned by places like Tennessee will be crucial to their success. No system will get everything right the first time — continuous monitoring and improvement will be required. But that shouldn't stop policymakers from updating evaluation systems to better reflect the quality of teaching, based in part on the quality of student progress.

I'm a beginning gardener, and several of the plants in my first-year raised vegetable bed have turned awful in the last week or so. One tomato plant started the trend, starting several weeks ago--leaves and stems turning yellow and then brown and shriveled. But in the last week it hit the cucumbers (photo attached--I'm sorry it's sideways) and then the zucchini. I had aphids last week and sprayed a soap-water aphid-smothering solution on the plants every other morning a couple times. This current problem looks more like grey mold when I compare it to pics in the gardening books, but the conditions in my garden don't seem right for grey mold--the plants are widely spaced, and I'm in dry Southern California. The soil is a combo of organic compost and garden soil, and there are tomato fertilizer stakes in the soil around the tomato plants. I haven't otherwise fertilized the garden since we built it in early May.
I'm woefully inexperienced and in need of advice. What is ailing my plants, and what can I do? Thank you in advance for suggestions! |

dont know without pictures though. powdery mildew wild guess. |
All compost is organic. Anyone that sells you "organic compost" may be selling you a "pig in poke". The term "garden soil" is the same, meaningless since that can be anything the seller wants it to be. Pictures may be of some help as can a visit to your counties office of the University of California Cooperative Extension Service where they would want you to bring in samples of what you see. |

Book | 2014 Own Your Future: How to Think Like an Entrepreneur and Thrive in an Unpredictable Economy Paul B. Brown, Charles F. Kiefer and Leonard A. Schlesinger It used to be that if you studied and worked hard, you could be assured of an extremely satisfying career. But in a world of constant layoffs and dying industries, it has become increasingly difficult to "plan" your way to success. So what is the solution? Well, when it comes to dealing with uncertainty, nobody handles it better than successful entrepreneurs. That's why you want to take the same approach they do! Based on extensive research and interviews, Own Your Future shows how to apply the simple model they use—Act. Learn. Build. Repeat—to reinvent the way you maneuver in an unpredictable job market. Here's how it works. Instead of picturing your perfect career and working backwards, simply begin with the direction you want to go and take a small step. Thinking alone will never change your life—you must ACT. Then evaluate the lessons you learn from that first step, build on them, and take another step in your desired direction. Repeat this process until you have achieved your goal. When you consider that your job—perhaps even your industry—may disappear, you have no choice but to take control. Filled with stories of professionals of all kinds who have profited from this proactive approach, Own Your Future gives you the tools you need to succeed—no matter what comes your way.

Last night I went to a party and it was awesome. I was the first one to arrive so it was awkward until one of my best friends came and then Nico came, I got nervous and felt awkward until I went to another table. Everything was great and then the bar started giving shots, I drank one, then my friends gave me more and I got tipsy and I started talking to many people and started hugging them (Nico was one of them). My best friend and I got the cute stare that is like "You're such a cute couple" and gossip spread. After a while I was kinda drunk and my best friend that's super shy was tipsy and told me "You should go and talk to Nico and do whatever your drunk brain tells you to do!" And my drunk brain though that it was a good idea. After I got the balls to do it I saw Nico outside the dance flier and asks him if he wanted to talk, but he said that he couldn't right now because his best friend passed out in the dance floor. His best friend passed out intoxicated and his heart stopped beating so he got CPR until he got ok. The party continued and I drank more because I was gaining consciousness and asked Nico if we could go and talk outside, once outside we went far from the music and people and I was drunk again, Nico asked me what was the thing that I was going to tell him, I was nervous and told him that I didn't know if I should tell him, but he said that it was ok and that I already told him, after hearing that I wrapped my arms in his neck and told him that he was a wonderful person, a super sexy gorgeous guy and stuff like that, I realized that I was hugging him and buried my face in his neck, then I asked him if I could kiss him (I hate myself for asking it), kissed his check, but he told me that he couldn't do it, he actually said "Dany, I can't do it, I seriously can't" and I asked him why and told me that he has a girlfriend, After that we went back inside and danced some super popular music here and the dance is super sexual and the girl goes in front of the guy, moving her hips, while the guy goes behind super close almost touching or touching following her hips; I've never danced that way until tonight and it was awesome; while we were dancing the police arrived and took my drunk friend, but no one have a fuck and continued dancing.
Other things: my parents think that I had some little coctels with no alcohol, I'm back to cutting, again I'm super moody, and I'm confused with Nico (again) ugh!
Remind us: What attributes does Nico have that your "best friend" doesn't?
Or... do you have reason to believe that Nico is fighting his true nature?
If he is indeed straight (and he provides no "sign" suggesting that he might be gay), wouldn't it save you much pain if you were to just move on?
Do you really think your parents actually believed you?
As for the "cutting"... you do know that this must stop? Please!
Except for the part when I called my best friend.
That best friend is a chick. maybe he could. I already moved on, but when I get drunk my brain goes all like "Nico is the cutest guy, you still love him, go and talk to him, text him"; they did believed me, I came home sober, walking straight, and good breath. I know I have to stop, but I couldn't handle it anymore, but now I'm ok.
Sorry that being a little "tipsy" reawakened your "thing" for Nico. Alcohol can do that... oh, so easily!
I wish it could have worked out differently... but right now you've got all the time in the world!
Be careful with the alcohol... just enough to "know" all's great... and just leave it at that!
And... I understand about your best friend! :)

I'm curious to hear whether anyone has gotten credit on a GEMB managed retail credit account after discharging them in BK.
I discharged a Men's Wearhouse account in BK. So many retail and Gas Cards are through GEMB, I'm wondering if it would be worth risking a hard inquiry to apply for something like Walmart.
I included JC Penney in BK . Shows on my credit report as a GEMB card. Anyhow, I have gotten other GEMB cc's since then, American Eagle and Dillards.
No they do not blacklist at all! I just got approved for JcPenney, 200 limit 05/2010, Walmart 1200 limit a few days ago and Chevron/Texaco Gas card all through GEMB. I am restablishing and actually I have a charge off for JcPenney and Walmart from 6 years earlier, scheduled to fall off next year from poor misuse of credit in college. I was afraid they would never give me another chance, but they have and they gave me a 1200 limit on Walmart !! Go for it!
My understanding is no they do not, but like many, I have blacklisted them!

Boobs, beer, and Sasquatch
Truth and beauty have no place in our world, but a movie based on a beer commercial does. And so it was that I was shuttled deep into Golden Ears Provincial Park one hot morning last week to visit the set of Big Hairy Movie—a full-length feature based on the last 12 or so years of Kokanee beer commercials.
Alliance Film and the advertising firm Grip Ltd have partnered up to produce this pioneering exercise in multi-platform "branded entertainment", which is the fancy name, in this case, for a buddy comedy featuring Sasquatch and a bunch of naked chicks.
I can reliably report this information since the first thing we saw after being dropped off on the side of spectacular Alouette Lake was a scene involving two topless Glacier girls, a beer-snatching cryptid with oversize feet, and a fat guy suffering from diarrhea.
I could relate to the fat guy after a nauseating two hour ride in a vehicle that was hotter than high noon in Calcutta and smelled like ass-finger. All the same, my cynicism about this whole exercise was beginning to melt away, partly because I saw some boobs, and partly because director David Hicks said the magic word.
"It dawned on me this last couple of weeks that if there's ever a movie that we're in the realm of, it's a modern day Caddyshack," Hicks told the Straight. Bingo!
"It's very similar in a sense that Caddyshack had a minor plot to it, and really the essence of what made it so special were these amazing characters and cameos around it. That's kind of where we are. We have a story that's very simple, and around it we have these really funny, bizarre, and hopefully quite memorable moments."
If you've been keeping up, you'll remember that John Novak's Kokanee Ranger was killed off in an epic TV spot a few years ago (also directed by Hicks, who helmed most of the Ranger ads). He's back, speaking of cameos.
"As potentially a ghost, or a memory, or—we're not even sure," Hicks chuckled. "We're gonna leave it quite ambiguous in the movie. Without giving too much away."
Fair enough, but what I saw and spoke to wasn't a ghost or a memory. John Novak's voice alone must be the closest thing in nature to the brown note. Maybe that's why the fat kid had diarrhea. "It's like being possessed. Once the mustache goes on, and the glasses—boom!" he boomed. Later, Novak gave me his read on the character.
"He envisions himself as the Sherriff in the old west," he said. "There's this tradition. Remember the way we used to think about the Mounties? Dudley Do-Right, and all that? There's that kind of ethic; to be the man, and to do the right thing, but with the weakness and the frailty of every man twinkling in the eyes whenever confronted with gorgeous girls in bikinis, for instance, or the love of a man for his beer."
Now imagine what he could do with Hamlet.
We'll keep you updated on this exercise in high weirdness, which also stars Robin Nielson (who talked about living in the Hollywood hills with his great uncle, Leslie Nielsen), Viv Leacock (Hot Tub Time Machine), and Katharine Isabelle, fresh from her best actor win at FantasyFest for the Vancouver-made American Mary.

We've come a long way with our fitness. We were always active growing up, playing volleyball in elementary school and dancing for our high school's pom squad, but when it came to exercising on our own, we were never consistent.
When we got into our upper teens and 20s, we would work out 5 days a week for a month and then become inactive for the following month or two. We never had motivation and really didn't know how to work out really. Our workouts usually consisted of cardio. Walking\running on the treadmill and a stationary bike were pretty much our forms of exercise with an occasional workout video thrown in there.
Since the summer of 2010 all of that has changed. Lisa's wedding was going to be that August and she wanted to work out with a trainer for the 6 weeks before the big day to tone up. Well, we got addicted and signed up for many more sessions. We learned so much from our trainer and our love for strength training formed.
It feels so good to look and feel so strong!
We firmly believe that strength training and cardio are the keys for staying toned and in your best shape. Below is our weekly exercise routine, and some examples of our cardio and strength training workouts!

text: The Vortex wiki last edited by Deathawk on 01/28/14 07:40PM View full history Vortex was a game released for the SNES in 1994. The game has you playing as a giant robot who can shape shift. Reletively unique for a console game at the time the gameplay was mostly in 3D with your character able to move around planets in any direction he or she saw fit. As mentioned earlier the main gimmick to the game was that you could transform into other vehicles, this was fairly cool but also fairly cumbersome as rather than having one buttoon to transform. Each transformation required a different button combination, which the player was pretty much forced to memorize.

A dicycle (also known as a diwheel) is a vehicle with two wheels side by side, unlike single-track vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, which have one wheel followed by another.
The diwheel design has the two large outer wheels completely encompassing an inner frame. The inner frame is free to rotate within the wheels, and is typically supported by a common axle or idlers which roll on the wheels (see figure). Diwheels, like their more popular cousins the monowheel, have been around for almost one and a half centuries. All of these platforms suffer from two common issues affecting driver comfort; slosh and tumbling (also known as gerbilling). Sloshing is when the inner frame oscillates, and it occurs in all monowheels and diwheels where the centre of gravity of the inner frame is offset from the centre line of the wheels. It is very prevalent as these platforms typically have low damping between the wheel and the frame, to minimise power consumption during locomotion. In addition, during severe braking or acceleration the inner frame will tumble relative to the earth centred frame, which affects the ability of the driver to control the platform. Both the sloshing and tumbling issue can be controlled through feedback control, and has been demonstrated successfully in the diwheel called EDWARD.
US Patent Class 180/240 lists all the vehicles coming under powered dicycles. This class has patents related to unmanned folding vehicles to be used for tactical purposes by the US government. Another well known vehicle in this US Patent Class is the Segway PT, a balancing dicycle.
Equations of motion[edit]
The equations of motion for the Diwheel can be found in the following paper[1] derived at the University of Adelaide.
In popular culture[edit]
The Hailfire Droid is a dicycle in the Star Wars universe, which was based on the real-life WW1 era experimental Tsar tank.
