I just built a house. It came with a freshly sodded lawn and they had the sprinkler system set to daily watering at 2am. I kept it there waiting to see it turn from some yellow to mostly green with roots attached. It hadn't happened after 3 weeks, so I added in another watering at 7:30am. After a week of no change I did a manual run just to find out that MY SPRINKLER SYSTEM WASN'T WORKING. I'm talking to the builder now and they will fix the sprinkler, but the lawn isn't covered under warranty. (which I understand, I should've checked it to begin with but that's my own fault) I've scoured all over trying to find out what I can do now and the only response on any post is "how have you been watering it?" and "here's how to check it" My question is simple: My new lawn has not had enough water for about a month and is more yellow than green, what can I do now? |

Give it a good soaking and hope it comes back. What kind of grass? Saint Augustine? |

Most Nurseries and fertilizer dealers have a good granular Potassium fertilizer, such as 0-0-22 with minors. I would ask around for that, or something similar. The potassium improves cell turgor, which will help the lawn recover faster by retaining more of the water you put down. The minor nutrients, such as iron, will also help with the color. The question that comes to mind for me, is which part of the State are you in? If you've had cooler temperatures lately, that can stunt St. Augustine enough to discolor it. Lack of water shows up initially with wilting, rather than discoloration. This is easy to see in St. Augustine, because the leaves will fold up tightly right at the mid-rib, as the grass tries to increase the transpirational pull on the roots. If it didn't do this prior to losing color, then it's either reacting to winter temperatures, or there is a nutrient deficiency. Either way, a good potassium fertilizer with minor nutrients will help your cause. One last note, make sure not to use fertilizer blends that include weed killers. St. Augustine is very sensitive to a group of herbicides, phenoxy acids, that are frequently found in weed and feed products. Look for active ingredients like 2-4-d or mecoprop (mcp) and avoid these. |

Several years ago we initiated a comprehensive assessment of the parish school buildings, the theater, and the church to determine what major repairs and improvements were necessary if the buildings are to serve the mission of the parish into the foreseeable future. The assessment process included conversations with parishioners and staff, especially those parishioners and staff who use the buildings on a daily basis, and architects, engineers, and other professionals. As a result of that assessment, we are planning major renovations and other improvements to the upper and lower school buildings, the theater, and the main church building.
Renovations/Improvements to the Upper School , the Lower School, and the Theater:
The planned renovations/improvements to the upper and lower school and the theater include:
- Upgrade plumbing, electrical, and HVAC;
- Upgrade fire protection measures, including a new alarm system and fire suppression system;
- Make the buildings fully ADA-compliant by reconfiguring bathrooms and doorways, by adding an elevator to each building, and by reworking the outside entrances to each building;
- Convert the existing theater to a multi-purpose room by removing the present balcony and stage and leveling the floor;
- Construct new bathroom facilities;
- Construct several dedicated tutoring rooms;
- Reconfigure existing classroom space; add four new classrooms above the existing theater; this will result in a net increase of one classroom;
- Add storage space;
- Add a small serving kitchen area in the Upper School
Note: Very little of the buildings' exteriors that are visible fromthe street will be altered. The renovations are almost entirely of interior spaces. The student enrollment at the school will not change as a result of these improvements. More details are available by clicking here.
Architectural Drawings for the Upper and Lower Schools and the Theater:
The architectural drawings as of January 2013 are shown below. We anticipate revisions to these drawing before they are finalized.
1) Existing exterior of the Lower School & Upper School Buildings, existing(January 2013)
2) Proposed changes to the exterior of front of the Lower School and Upper School Buildings (January 2013)
3) Lower School Building Interior, existing and planned layout (January 2013)
4) Upper School Building Interior (1st and 2nd floor), including the Theater (January 2013)
5) Upper School Building Interior (3rd floor and roof) (January 2013)
6) Artist's Conception of the Upper School Multi-Purpose Room Exterior (former theater) (January 2013)
7) Artist's Conception of the Upper School Multi-Purpose Room Interior, (former theater) (May 2012)
Renovations/Improvements to the Main Church:
The planned renovations/improvements to the main church include:
- repair interior plaster; paint church interior
- repair and resore the stained glass windows
- refinish the church pews
Tentative (as of 12/13) Schedule for Construction of Upper and Lower School and theater renovations/ improvements:
1) Lower School -- begin in 5/14; finish in August 2014
2) Theater -- begin in 5/14; finish in late 2014
3) Upper School -- begin in Spring 2015; finish in late summer 2015
4) Main Church interior -- begin in June 2016; finish in August 2016
Note: This schedule is subject to change.

We are working with the Lee County Housing Development Corporation (LCHDC) in providing the 8-hour Homebuyer Education Class at our Education Center once a month, taught by our accredited volunteer instructors. The costs for this program are covered by local sponsors enabling us to provide workbooks, lunch and a full-day class at no cost to the participants. As participants learn how to be credit worthy, obtain financing, set priorities for home selection and importantly, learn how to maintain and keep their home after purchase they feel empowered from the knowledge they've obtained to be better buyers and ultimately, better homeowners. To date we have educated over 350 potential homeowners.
Homebuyer Education Dates and Location
3rd Saturday each month from 8:15AM-4:45PM
January 18 July 19
February 15 August 16
March 15 September 20

June 21
• Partnership with Lee County Housing Development Corporation
• Participants can register online at www.greaterfortmyershomes.com, affordable housing, homebuyer education – offered free through lender CRA sponsorships.
Our members are on the front line to answer calls for assistance from homebuyers that have received default notices or are behind on their mortgage payments. Many members of our community have been faced with severe economic challenges and are unable to meet their financial obligations. As such, the Association is providing "Options to Foreclosure", a free 2-hour seminar that is taught by the Eddie Felton, Executive Director of the Home Ownership Resource Center. Participants are provided with options to help them determine whether to try and stay in their home or learn more about other available options (i.e., deed in lieu or short sale). In addition, the steps of foreclosure are explained, components of a loss mitigation package are presented and a checklist of the 10-12 documents that need to be gathered before a homeowner contacts their lender. The goal is to provide residents in our community with the survival priorities and steps needed to remain credit-worthy as they go through the process of working with their loan servicer.
Options for Distressed Homeowners
Classes will be held at our Education Center January-March, on the 3rd Saturday monthly from 9-11AM:
• January 21
• February 18
• March 17
A task force is working to secure additional locations throughout the Greater Fort Myers community to hold the classes either on a weekend or an evening mid-week.
Habitat for Humanity and NSP
Last year the Association supported Habitat's Women Build project as a $1,000 Skilled Tradeswoman Sponsor. The effort raised over $50,000 to enable Habitat to refurbish a home for a single mother in our community. In addition, our members are working with Habitat's Speakers Bureau to provide the community with information on the Habitat mission, solicit community support and encourage volunteers to help with their projects.
This year, Habitat is working with Lee County's Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to refurbish homes for their clients. As part of the requirements of the program, Habitat clients will be attending our Homebuyer Education classes. Lee County's Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) supports communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment by purchasing, redeveloping and reselling such homes to permanent residents at an affordable price.
The NSP Program operates solely on federal funding provided by HUD. Lee County has continued to move the NSP Program forward, purchasing a total of 160 properties to date. Of those, 105 have been fully rehabbed, with 101 sold or under contract to NSP buyers.
Financial Literacy
Participants of our Homebuyer Education Class have indicated they needed help getting their finances on track and few resources are available to provide this in our community. Suggestions have been made that a class should be taught at the high school level to teach basic money management skills:
• Income and expenses
• Budget and savings
• Setting goals
• Consumer skills
• Wise use of credit
Wells Fargo, Freddie Mac and NeighborWorks™ America Training programs provide curriculum covering these topics. We have met with and are working towards instituting a pilot class for that would be incorporated into on-going senior high education.
AAHR Designation
The Accredited Attainable Housing Representative (AAHR) is capable of representing attainable/affordable buyers with information, resources and guidance throughout the home buying process.

Gifted Students & Technology: An Interview with Del Siegle

Gifted Students & Technology: An Interview with Del Siegle
Why are so many gifted and talented students attracted to technology? First, many gifted and talented students enjoy learning through exploration and experimentation. Technology enables them to hypothesize and inductively pursue solutions to problems they are investigating. Technology allows the freedom to investigate various paths to multiple solutions. Technology transforms students from receptacles of knowledge to active producers who direct their own learning. Second, technology increases the sophistication of products that gifted and talented students can create by allowing them to function in roles similar to practicing professionals. Technology allows students to produce products in a real-world fashion. For example, students can write, edit, and produce books or publications—with a desktop publishing program—that rival in appearance those produced by publishing houses. Today, students can access software that enables them to compose music, design buildings, and collect data with laboratory probes in ways similar to practicing professionals in each of these fields. Thus technology permits students to develop their talents at a higher level of professional sophistication at an earlier age. At what age should gifted students begin to use computers and other technology? One might ask at what age children should begin using crayons, pencils, paint, and paper. Computers and other technologies can be considered similar forms of expression, and children can begin to use them as soon as their physical coordination allows. Most early childhood educators recommend children begin experimenting with computers around age three, although it may be appropriate at an earlier age for gifted and talented students. Children need variety in their lives. Just as parents would not allow their children to spend every waking hour sitting in a chair watching television or reading a book, parents should not accept such behavior with children who are continually fixated to a computer. Children need opportunities for a variety of physical, social, and intellectual pursuits. While the time for each does not need to be evenly divided, balancing these activities based on the children's interests and personalities is important. Research indicates that children who use the Internet spend less time watching television and more time with friends and family. Children who spend time on computers at home spend no less time reading or playing with other children. There are also modest benefits associated with home computing on cognitive skills and self-esteem. Unfortunately, young children who use computers at home for more than eight hours per week tend to be heavier than those who do not use home computers. How is technology being used to enhance gifted students' education? Can you share an example of what today's technology enables students to do that would not have been possible 10 years ago? Technology can be used to accelerate or enrich student learning. Ten years ago, online classes did not exist. A myriad of classes are now available that enable parents and educators to accelerate their student's learning. Online courses may be necessary when classes that students wish to complete conflict with their school schedule, when more advanced classes are needed to meet students' instructional levels, and when the pace of traditional classes is too slow for students. While the online option is not suitable for all students, gifted and talented students who are self-motivated, comfortable using technology, and possess excellent reading and writing skills are excellent candidates. Another use of technology is specialized software. The price of these programs has dropped dramatically over the last few years. As mentioned earlier, these products allow gifted and talented students to function as practicing professionals. This not only accelerates the development of students' talents, it also enriches their learning experiences. For example, students can now edit and create professional looking movies. Ten years ago the cost of software and equipment to produce a film was prohibitive. Today, the software is packed free on many computers, and digital video cameras are commonplace. I began experimenting with photography when I was nine years old. The interest and passion I have today for photography was already developed at that point. My learning experience with photography would have been enhanced and accelerated if I had had access to today's digital photography technology. Gaming is also showing promise for student learning. Research in this arena is just beginning, but educators are beginning to explore how to capture the popularity of video games to enhance student learning. Why is the Internet such a significant learning resource for gifted students? The Internet creates a level playing field. It does this in three ways. First, it provides universal access to information. Students who are interested in medical developments can access the latest medical news as quickly as the medical researchers produce it. The Internet is the most extensive and accessible collection of information available to gifted and talented students. It provides a breadth and depth that far exceeds the holdings of their school library, their community library, or even a nearby university library. A simple Google search can satisfy even the most insatiable and inquisitive minds. Second, the Internet provides a common platform for gifted and talented children to share their ideas. With the Internet, a 10-year-old student has the same publishing power as The New York Times. Students can create web pages or blogs and share their ideas with the world. Distribution of knowledge is no longer restricted to those who own a printing press. Finally, the Internet allows gifted and talented students to connect with each other and with electronic mentors. Gifted and talented students who have felt isolated in the past due to their unique abilities and interests can now interact through email and chat with other individuals with similar abilities and interests. The satisfaction that many gifted and talented students feel when attending special summer programs such as those offered at the Center for Talent Development can now be experienced throughout the year thanks to online classes, email, chat, and online mentors. How can parents help students use the Internet as a tool for learning, rather than simply a place to surf, browse, and chat? Parents can use children's interests to enhance their use of the Internet. Based on conversations that parents have with their children, they can help their children explore topics related to special areas of interest. A child who is interested in baseball may wish to learn more about Shoeless Joe Jackson or may be interested in developing a database of statistics related to his or her favorite teams. Such information is available on the Internet. By jointly exploring their children's interests on the Internet, parents can assist their children in two areas. First they can help them become critical consumers of information. From an early age, children must be trained to develop a healthy skepticism of the validity of the information they find. This can involve comparing information from a variety of sources on the web. Second, parents can also help children surf more effectively and efficiently. This includes modeling the best selection of keywords within a search. Many children quickly become discouraged because they cannot immediately find the information they are seeking. With some guided practice, children learn to locate the information they desire quickly. Blindly following links in not an efficient way to locate information on the Internet and is not only a waste of time, it is often unproductive. Parents can help children develop purposes and strategies for using the Internet. What are telementoring programs, and how can gifted students benefit from them? In Francoys Gagné's gifted and talented model, he discusses turning gifts into talents. He views giftedness as untrained natural abilities and talent as the mastery of those abilities through development. Benjamin Bloom found that the process of developing talent requires a concerted effort of a variety of individuals. The nature and diversity of gifted and talented students' interests and abilities demand resources beyond the confines of the home, school, and sometimes beyond the boundaries of the community. At some point, students need contact with more knowledgeable others who share their expertise and can guide them. Ideally this process takes place in person. Unfortunately, time and distance constraints often prevent this from occurring. Telementoring is one way to provide gifted students with opportunities to interact with others who are very knowledgeable. It is particularly valuable for students in isolated areas, for students with esoteric interests, or for students whose academic needs exceed the local educational system's capacity. In these cases, it may be difficult to find a mentor in the community who is willing to spend time with the young talent. Telementoring is a viable solution. During the experience, the student and the telementor work toward a student goal that the two have jointly set. They usually communicate through monitored email or bulletin board postings. While parents and educators can set up such relationships if they know appropriate mentors, a number of organizations provide this service on a large scale. One of the more prominent ones is the International Telementor Program (www.telementor.org). Mentoring is not for every student and telementoring is even more restrictive. Just because students are disenfranchised with their educational program does not mean they need a mentor. An authentic mentorship is more than students receiving supplemental information. It can provide students with opportunities for real-world application of their passions, self-confidence, an increased knowledge base, deepened enthusiasm for a subject, a role model, and growth in their area of giftedness. You've written about technology giftedness. How do you define this term, and how can parents help a technology gifted student develop his or her talents? My thinking about technology giftedness has been influenced by Reva Friedman-Nimz. Technology giftedness appears to manifest itself in three distinct ways. 1. The talent to write computer code appears to be one type of technology giftedness. I have known gifted students who, as early as first grade, have begun exploring how to write computer code. While this is unusual, all of the fourth-grade students with whom I have worked were able to create simple computer programs. Some of those students had a special talent with programming. They were able to conceptually breakdown programming tasks and see the relationships between them. This certainly is a special kind of thinking. For many of them, it appeared to be a natural way of thinking and looking at the world. Such gifts need to be developed. Elementary students should be exposed to some simple programming. The early Apple computers with Apple BASIC were a wonderful medium to introduce programming. Seymour Papert's LOGO is still a great program to introduce very young children to programming. Those who show an interest and talent for programming can advance to more advanced programming such as Visual BASIC, C++, or JAVA. Student who enjoy creating web pages with HTML script also fall into the programming category. 2. A second area of giftedness involves the application of technology. These students areadept at using the technology to produce products. They can apply technology in effective and creative ways. Students in this category can exhibit the following behaviors:
3. The third area of technology giftedness involves those who enjoy working with technology equipment. While the first two types involve creating products with technology, these students enjoy maintaining, or even creating the technology for others to use. They may enjoy creating a computer from spare parts, fixing a broken calculator, maintaining a classroom server, or installing a car stereo.

.co.uk, .org.uk or .me.uk
Posted in Domain Names by Admin
When choosing a .UK domain name, there are usually three choices. A .co.uk, .org.uk or a .me.uk domain name.
All three have pro's or con's, advantages and disadvantages. Your long term plans for your sites will have a bearing on which extensions you choose to use. Those of you who know a little about me will know i use a fair few .org.uk and .me.uk domains, to me I place a greater emphasis on domains with keywords or phrases, rather than the extension they have, if I was in the re-sale or domaining game a .co.uk would be highly preferable!
So lets take a quick look at the pros and cons of each extension.
The premium UK domain extension. Open to all types of registrants, and the most common 'type-in' UK domain name.
The highest resale values, no restrictions on trading.
Lack of available names, many good, and a huge percentage of generic names are already registered, so unless you've got a decent budget to purchase from a reseller you may have to look elsewhere.
If the name you want is available in .co.uk format, its a simple choice.
Some minor resale value but with a much lower potential than a .co.uk based on the value of the name alone. Many buyers will be wary of purchasing a .org.uk.
Availability, there are a huge number of good generic names still available, and .org.uk's are often trusted by web users due to their promiment use by many charities.
There are potentially some restrictions on registration and use of .org.uk names, but at the current time these are not implemented.
A clear second choice behind a .co.uk and plenty are still available to register although many domainers are catching on to their availability and many good ones are registered.
The .me.uk domain names are intended solely for personal use, but are in reality used by many businesses and there are a huge number of domains available to register including some very good generic names.
.me.uk domain names can only be registered by individuals, and as such many companies, cannot register them unless they are registered in the name of an individual. This means the chances of resale are relatively low.
The third choice for .uk domain names, but still ideal for many sites, particularly those generating pay per click or affiliate income, or as lead generation sites.

Not Fade Away re-creates a strangely innocent era
Starring John Magaro, Jack Huston, and Bella Heathcote. Rating not available.
They say that if you can remember the '60s, you weren't really there. But "they" are often talking about the '70s when that cliché comes up.
Anyway, the era of Sputnik and Eisenhower conformity actually lasted until the Beatles showed up on The Ed Sullivan Show those fateful Sunday nights in early 1964, as seen in this feature-film debut for writer-director David Chase, best known for creating The Sopranos.
The key awakening in Not Fade Away comes from a Sullivan moment later that year. While the Rolling Stones slink through their gloriously lazy version of "Time Is on My Side", aspiring drummer, occasional singer, and full-time Brillo-head Douglas (John Magaro) notices that all the pretty girls gathered at someone's New Jersey tract house are transfixed by these decidedly uncute Brits. His nascent band adds blues to its repertoire and he finally captures the attention of Grace (Bella Heathcote), the senior-class beauty.
Local success also triggers rivalries with the young combo's laid-back bassist (Will Brill) and putative vocalist and lead guitarist (Jack Huston), who is actually more good-looking than good. And, of course, it doesn't sit well with Doug's gruffly working-class dad (James Gandolfini) and depressive mom (Molly Price), who want him in college—if only to avoid being drafted to Vietnam.
Chase's two-hour re-creation of that strangely innocent time, with its narrow ties and Marlboro-tainted idealism, mirrors parts of Tom Hanks's That Thing You Do!. But Fade has a darker, more drifting tone, suggesting the weirder places to which that decade would eventually go. The director makes all the smartest musical choices, too, picking the Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina" instead of, let's say, "Time of the Season" by the Zombies. In some ways, this movie may be better than being there the first time.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 3

In Response To: Blood type specific energy bars (D. Binder)
It's called "Soy Delicious" by Free Life. I listed all the ingredients in an earlier post, and I think they're okay. I would love to see blood type compatible bars ... the bars would help sell the book too. People at the food store would say "What's this all about?"

Okay. Hi. [unknown].

Hi, ladies. I mean they were in town so like [unknown] dance. I figured that stuff by.

It's okay.

Hello.

Hi.

So are you excited about tonight's event?

Yes. I was [unknown].

You have two tonight or one?

One tonight, one tomorrow.

Okay. And inside a mall, right?

Yes.

I think it's like in Long Island, right?

Long Island.

And I don't know if you guys can see. It's a full-on storm here.

Yes.

But from what I hear there's girls still lined up at the mall which is awesome.

We're toughing it out.

So are you guys wearing some pieces to the event?

We are.

I'm wearing our shirt, our striped shirt and our jean and leather jacket.

That's so cute.

And this is one of our-- it's actually it could be worn like an oversized jacket or a t-shirt. I'm wearing it like an oversized t-shirt.

I think you wore that in the shoot or maybe one of the outfits that I saw. You guys, if you hadn't checked it out yet, they're in the March issue and it's awesome. You can look here all about their line and designing it and all the little details that you wanna know. Okay. So let's talk about fun stuff. So are you guys going to Fashion Week at all? Are you doing any events?

We're not. We're so busy with [unknown] and like all these appearances and everything. We have no time.

I know. You guys are in and out. Aren't you?

Yes, basically.

You're leaving like a day.

Yes.

Okay. Just show me your shoes that you're, you know, in the weather, [unknown] so cute.

These, I couldn't even tell you the brand or anything. Kanye went and got us so much stuff for Christmas, all of us, so we got with these, but I don't know what. I think you got them in your--

They're so cool. They're like texture.

Love it.

Yes.

Well then.

I have no idea what line [unknown] and they're not anything wonderful, but I just need a little booty.

There's [unknown]. I love it. And you know what, they're actually kind of perfect for this weather, like running around even you guys aren't gonna be running around the snow, but like not too high of a heel or a wedge, so it's perfect. Alright. Well that's some stuff. Why don't you say hi. [unknown]

Thank you.

And we are gonna keep track of your line and like keep looking out the new boots and--

Thank you.

Diamond Rio Selling Well
CmdrTaco posted more than 15 years ago | from the isn't-that-interesting dept.
54Tramm Hudson writes "In this Reuters article, Diamond Multimedia states that they are making 10,000 units a week and are still behind demand. Otherwise a fairly standard news report -- "Users love MP3, industry hates it". " I've found that they skip terribly at 128kbits, but less then that and they are tolerable. The first portable mp3 player than can store 5+ hours of music at 128kbits and not skip will do well. Until then, the Rio is a beta test for the real revolution. When the real deal is here though, the Rio will have made sure that we have lots of MP3s to choose from.

text: Lost Boys of Sudan is a documentary film by Megan Mylan and Jon Shenk about two Dinka boys from Sudan, Santino Majok Chuor and Peter Nyarol Dut, who reached the United States after fleeing the civil war in their country. "Orphaned as young boys" in the Second Sudanese Civil War they "survived lion attacks and militia gunfire to reach a refugee camp in Kenya along with thousands of other children." The documentary's title Lost Boys of Sudan was originally the name given to the group of Southern Sudanese youth by United Nations aid workers who were monitoring their flight from Sudan.

Check out the schedule here. This deal may not be combined with the promotion for free admission for children younger than 12 with purchase of an adult ticket.
Within an imposing log cabin in Niagara Falls exists one of the world's only opportunities to be served a steaming hot meal by a singing mountie. The tuneful do-gooder is joined by one of Green Gables' many Annes, a melodious hockey player, the inimitable Klondike Kitty, and other wacky national characters in the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show. Over its nearly two-decade run, the show has evolved to take in charting pop hits along with maritime folk songs and a rousing national-anthem closer. Between bouts of onstage hilarity, the performer/servers whoosh from table to red-checkered table bearing an authentic Canadian feast, from an opener of French Canadian pea soup to entrees including Alberta roast beef and Manitoba roast chicken. Humming along between bites, diners can sample any course they like and are welcome to ask for seconds. A round of maple-chocolate cake wraps up the extravaganza while providing an edible lumberjack beard of frosting.
_Though this merchant sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available._
Amazing show, fun for everyone, plus a great dinner
