Essentially this package would be an unbundled version of the current MDB2_Tools_Manager class. The class itself is fairly uptodate, the only thing that needs to happen is to refactor some of the code to be cleaner (specifically the XML writing part should use something like XML_Serializer) and also remove all datatype specific code (maybe leave some LOB specific code to be able to dump LOB's into external files instead of into an XML file). This would allow for a separate release cycle and most importantly highlight the fact that the functionality provided is optional from MDB2 (to make it more clear that the MDB2_Manager can be used to setup databases that are not accessed via MDB2 during the runtime). Also it would allow me to drop the XML_Parser dependency from MDB2 to maybe one day kill off that "MDB2 uses XML at runtime" myth. |

The owner is out of his element. Never responds to your questions. You have to call him back months later. And still nothing gets done. Just awful. Save your money and time and look elsewhere.

Rated 3 out of 5?by KidsofParents Mediocre living
My parents have lived here for several years and are quite unhappy. The need new appliances, new paint and new flooring. The rent keeps going up, which we, as their children don't mind as we pay each month, but the inside is looking tired and old. It's beginning to look like my great grandmother's project housing.

MA Education (Creative & Critical Practice) - Student Case Studies
Comments from some of the MA Education (Creative and Critical Practice) Students
Sarah Jacques
Sarah began her higher education at Wolverhampton University, achieving 2:1 in Theatre Studies. She went on to study a Post Graduate Diploma in Acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. After several years working as a professional actress and singer, Sarah decided to train as a drama teacher. She has worked as a drama teacher for Staffordshire County Council for the last three years.
The MA in Creative and Critical Practice was particularly appealing as it encourages teachers to look at their current classroom practice and reflect on how this could be improved. As a relatively new teacher, I was keen to continue to develop my knowledge and understanding of the education system as well as improving my own day-to-day practice.
The best aspect of the programme has been working with new people. Within our school a group of nine students was selected to undertake the course. With the support of the Keele tutors we have established a strong working group with some powerful dialogue about the education system and current practice. In addition to our work in school we have been offered the opportunity to come in to Keele for a series of seminars with key thinkers in our field of study. Each of the seminars has been incredibly thought provoking and has enabled a dialogue to develop with people from other educational establishments. Being part of the MA programme has significantly increased my confidence as an educationalist. I hope to use my knowledge, experience and understanding to further my career within the field of education.
The course has been very demanding as I am still working full time; submission dates for assignments have sometimes clashed with exams, school shows or reports, which has been a little stressful. However, I have found the course incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. The Keele tutors provide a great deal of support both through the provision of excellent support material and on a more personal level through one to one discussion.
Initially, careful time management is needed. However, I soon found my 'flow' with my studies, enjoying the additional challenge that the course provided. There have been stressful moments but the Keele tutors are very supportive and they understand the demands that teachers face.
I would definitely recommend the MA in Critical and Creative Practice in Educational Settings. I believe that the course gives you the opportunity to understand more about current issues in education whilst developing skills in critical thinking. It gives you the confidence to question decisions made at Government, school and classroom level. The programme helps you to understand what you do and why you do it, whilst providing strategies for implementing a more democratic approach to learning and teaching. The programme undoubtedly makes you a more rounded teacher as well as a better academic. It is a fantastic opportunity so if you are considering enrolling – go for it!
Kim Greenwood
Kim owned her own business for 18 years and came into teaching in 2004. She has worked in 3 schools, and has settled in her current school, which is a large 11-18 mixed Technology and Sport College in Staffordshire, where she has she is second in charge of a large Design Technology department.
Keele was the only local university offering the particular focus that I was interested in. Undertaking the MA has been a very positive and self affirming process which I believe has had a positive impact on the quality of learning of the pupils in my care. The focus on criticality has enabled me to reflect on my own practice and identify areas for change and development.
The demands of assessment deadlines has been a challenge, but has intensified the learning process. The support sessions for each module, which have been led by very skilled lecturers, have enabled our group to critically explore a range of complex professional and theoretical issues and develop increasingly sophisticated understanding of our own practice as educators. A particular strength of the Masters programme is Keele's fabulous library that I have had access too and made extensive use of.
I would recommend the programme to others as it allows for an individual response to the experience. There is significant history and theory involved which situates the educational experience of the individual teacher.
My recommendations for anyone undertaking a similar course is to pace themselves to get the full benefit of each module as it builds on the previous module. Also, to fully partake in discussions to help deepen the experience; I have learned so much from the contribution of other course members and from opportunities to 'bounce' ideas around.
I feel the experience for me has developed my teaching philosophy much more quickly than if I had not done this particular MA. I have always wanted to study educational practice to a higher level but have found other courses too prescriptive. The learning that has come from this programme has encouraged me to undertake a PhD.
Anthony Webster
A previous course at Keele had left me with good impressions. I knew the campus to be welcoming, the staff approachable and the institution well-respected. When I discovered that Keele offered a masters course which enabled me to explore the relationship between my work as a creative professional and education, I had little hesitation in enrolling.
The programme is delivered on a semi distance learning basis, which involves taught sessions for each module that are supported by a range of on-line and text based materials. For me, this allows my present work commitments to continue, yet offers the chance to mix with creative professionals from across the country, from all walks of life. The perspectives this opens up can't be underestimated. At master's level, where you're encouraged to critique your own views and those of others, and what better opportunity could there be?
Anyone taking the course must be prepared to work for their award. Reading what's been written, assessing the evidence for arguments made, making honest consideration of your own perspective: all this makes for a challenging course. To keep down a job while writing assignments takes some effort. I can vouch for the wealth of experience, resource and support available, but ultimately it's the work of your own hand that brings the rewards.
I had already gained some discipline of independent study, having undertaken Open University courses leading to a degree. In preparation for Keele's programme I had considered the time implications and the type of work roles I could cope with whilst studying. I've found that properly planning my diary has helped a lot during the course.
I find that knowing that my colleagues on the course are engaged in the same tasks is reassuring. The conversations that take place during tutorial sessions can spark off some dormant thought or recollection, or spin me around to a point of view I had't really considered.
Satisfying and stimulating would be the words I'd use to encapsulate the Keele learning experience.
This programme compels you to look at what creativity might mean, and what it might be in education. It asks that you evaluate educational practice and issues of fairness and opportunity. I'd say consider this course if any of these aspects concern you, especially if you feel you are creative yourself.
I would recommend willingness to, and practice at being honest with yourself. I feel that the reflection on my own practice and awareness of my own circumstances and viewpoint demanded by the course make this quality indispensable. It would also be a good idea to get into the habit of reading for purpose if this is something you are not familiar with.
Rachael Ward
Rachael Ward attended Keele University after completing her A'levels in History, English and Psychology. At University she achieved a First Class Degree Honours in English and History. She then went on to complete a PGCE at Keele University and started teaching on completion. She is now a Secondary English Consultant for the Local Authority.
I feel that sustaining a critical awareness is an integral part of my profession. Keeping abreast of current practices and consistently seeking to challenge, question and develop them is fundamental to teaching. It is a skill that I feel will help me understand my own practice and that of others in greater depth. Being able to scrutinize practices, ideologies and policies is a key part, not only of my own education, but those that I teach. One of the most rewarding aspects of the course is being able to discuss and share other perspectives. It is also rewarding to have my own perceptions challenged. Such critical debates are extremely enjoyable.
It is a challenging course in terms of the time management and the balance that needs to be struck between work and the course. It is also demanding in that you need to consistently link the course to your practice, ensuring that the material, ideas and perspectives you have gained have a noticeable impact.
In terms of time management, my ability to meet these demands has varied. It is frustrating sometimes when I have not been able to read as much as I would have liked. I have tried to overcome these by allocating setting aside clear time for my assignments.
I found it extremely interesting to see teaching from the many different 'worlds' that exist in education. This course opens these worlds to you so that good practice, ideas and different perspectives can be accessed.
If I was to sum my experience of the course in three words, they would be: challenging, revealing and empowering.
I would recommend this course with the words that I used to sum up my experience. It is healthy to be challenged sometimes and without this course, you could continue to be the mouthpiece for policies and practices that you do not necessarily agree with, hence it is revealing. Furthermore, once you begin to appreciate the layers that lie behind such policies you are not only empowered but you can empower others to stimulate change.
My advice to any prospective students to this course would be for them to ask whether they have a desire to change things, or even just understand their profession at a deeper level, as this intrinsic curiosity will drive you through the most challenging aspects of the course. I would also advise future students to be prepared to allocate time to reading the set texts and around the course and to remember that only one thing can be done at any one time.

Sunday, March 14, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Robot race fizzles close to starting line By Andrew Bridges
BARSTOW, Calif. Looks like we won't be seeing any robot driver's licenses issued anytime soon. All 15 self-navigating vehicles in a 150-mile race across the Mojave Desert were knocked out within a few miles of the starting gate yesterday, victims of technical glitches, barbed-wire fences and rugged terrain. None could claim the $1 million prize offered by a military agency seeking to develop autonomous vehicles that could be used in combat. One of the early favorites, a military Humvee converted by Carnegie Mellon University students, traveled 7.4 miles before veering off course and snapping an axle. The most successful robot, which managed to travel eight miles, belonged to SciAutomics, based in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The team was sponsored by Elbit Systems, an Israeli manufacturer of off-road vehicles. "It was supposed to be challenging. We knew it would be challenging," said Jan Walker, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon agency that sponsored the race. "We're involved because it's a technology we really need to push forward." The Pentagon is trying to meet a congressional mandate to convert one-third of its battlefield vehicles to autonomous operation by 2015 to save soldiers' lives. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, spent $13 million on the Grand Challenge. It estimates competitors laid out a total of four to five times that amount developing their entries, which rely on global-positioning satellites and a variety of sensors, lasers, radar and cameras to orient themselves and detect and avoid obstacles.
"I don't think the money is the motivation," said Anthony Tether, Darpa's director. "It has sparked an interest in science and technology in this country that we haven't seen since the 1960s with the Apollo program."
Most of the vehicles yesterday made it less than a mile before stalling, overturning or running off course. One six-wheel robot built by a Louisiana team was disqualified after it became entangled in barbed wire. Others crashed seconds after starting. "It's a tough challenge it's a grand challenge you can always bet that it's not doable. But if you don't push the limits, you can't learn," Ensco engineer Venkatesh Vasudevan said shortly after his company's entry rolled onto its side several hundred yards from the starting gate. The Pentagon's research and development agency would have awarded $1 million to the first team whose vehicle could cover the course in less than 10 hours. The teams were given a map of the course two hours before the start. It included hundreds of waypoints marked by precise coordinates. Team members were not allowed to steer or touch the robots. Carnegie Mellon's Humvee was the first to set out on the brush-and-boulder-dotted course soon after dawn. It took off at a fast clip. Within 15 minutes, the vehicle dubbed Sandstorm had covered about seven miles over mostly flat desert, but it stalled near the tiny town of Daggett. The race ended in about four hours after the final competitors were disabled. Competitors suffered a variety of problems, including stuck brakes and malfunctioning satellite-navigation equipment. Virginia Tech's converted golf cart failed within 100 yards of the starting line when its brakes seized up. It was driven off the course by 23-year-old senior Nick Elder. "Our vehicle knew where to go, but our brakes were holding us back," the disappointed Elder said. The trials last week gave a preview of what was to come yesterday. Some machines would not start, and some drove in circles like dogs chasing their tails. Twenty-one teams attempted to qualify, but only seven completed a flat, 1.36-mile obstacle course at the California Speedway in Fontana, east of Los Angeles. Some teams were allowed to compete yesterday without finishing the obstacle course. The on- and off-road course, which began in Barstow, was to have ended just across the California line in Primm, Nev. One competitor said the goal wasn't necessarily to complete the race. "From my opinion, it's always been a question of how far you can get," said Palos Verdes High School sophomore Kevin Webb, 16. The school's entry, a modified Acura SUV, hit a barrier shortly after crossing the starting line. Details on Darpa and the qualifying trials were reported by The New York Times.

This review is for the salon formula nail lacquer line. I bought a few because it was on sale for $2. Don't like the brush. Applies somewhat streaky. Not opaque (especially the yellow one in the color: Sun-Sational). Some of the lighter colors like the yellow and baby pink takes about 3 coats. I don't mind the 3 coats but it chipped on me within a day. I don't have that problem with most polishes, so it's not my top coat. I will not repurchase. I feel like it is a waste of time to apply these polishes, if i have to change it in 3-4 days. I usually like to wear a polish for at least 7 days before changing it. Changing nail polish every 3-4 days can be damaging to the nails.

This is for the color "Chic Peek" which is a sheer brown with silver microglitter. The formula is a bit thick, and I have to wait longer than usual between coats. But it's a really nice color and I look forward to using up the bottle. Use 3-4 coats to get the bottle color.

Color: Devious. It's a dark purple. Looks great. Covers in one coat. However it chips like the devil. I tried various brands of top/base coats that I have in my stash and it made no difference. Really a shame because the color is terrific.

Every polish I buy from Ulta is amazing! The color is lush and creamy, the polish spreads well, it lasts a long time. Bonus: the prices are great! Ulta has sales all the time 2 for $5 or 3 for $6 on their products which are mix and match. Why buy polish thats more expensive at the drugstore? Also you can try the polish at Ulta to see if it works for you. Def recommond!

I got this in "Fuschiamania" for free with my rewards points. I wasn't expecting much, but this is a really good polish. The first coat was a little streaky but the second was fine. It has good wear time, and I love the bottle, it's cute lol. The color looks red on the web site for some reason, but it's a creamy fuschia in reality.

I bought eye popping poppy and I must say it is a beautiful color . It's like an orange pink red, doesn't pull too much of any of the colors, just a beautiful mix. But the polish is way too thin. I need about 4 coats to just get opacity from the polish. i do love the color, but it makes me hesitant to try other ulta colors, I'll stick with my trusted revlon and Essie nail polishes from now on

I'm so enamored with the Ulta polish I just picked up, in the shade "Oh!" Being not a fan of orange-y cosmetics, Oh! is the first "orange-y" polish I've ever actuallly LIKED. Imagine a creamy pale (but not too pale) orange sherbet shade infused with a fine spun-gold shimmery GLOW. Sooo beautiful and perfect for summer! I also found an apricot Ulta lipstick that matches the shade super well... it's #204. Both the polish and lipstick are surprisingly elegant formulas, attractively packaged. For the price, they truly can't be beat. I've used nail polishes that cost five times as much, and don't go on as well. The polish takes a bit longer than is ideal to fully dry, but is very forgiving going on, and it's long lasting. It goes on as smooth and level as Chanel polish, no joke!... with no bubbling. "Oh!" is not a streaky polish, even at one coat, so you can wear it sheer or go for two coats which will get you the same gorgeous "sunlit sherbet" shade you see in the bottle. This is my first Ulta polish and I'm sure I'll be back for another! The shade selection is quite nice, and if you like subtle shimmers as much as I do, you'll be in polish heaven.

I was expecting the quality of this polish to not be that great, but I was wrong. I got the color "Sweetheart pink" it stayed on for about 7 days didn't chip or anything definitely long wearing. The only downside is the top to it broke off and constantly came unattached.

i first bought ulta nail polish a few months ago when i saw it on sale for $3. i had bought some OPI colors the day before and went to get more the next day when i saw the sale on ulta polish. i played with all the colors in the store and i loved how smooth it went on without any streaks. i thought for the price it was just s good as OPI so i bought almost 30 colors and returned the OPI. I love this polish because most of the time you only need 1 coat of polish but i found that it takes a long time to dry. i recently saw it on sale for $2 and went and bought more colors. i am very excited to have my own polish so i can stop spending money at the nail salon to change my polish. i now have this polish in 35 colors and i love them

Proof of the reciprocal identities Proof of the tangent and cotangent identities Proof of the Pythagorean identities The proof of each of those follows from the definitions of the trigonometric functions, Topic 15. Proof of the reciprocal relations By definition:
Therefore, sin θ is the reciprocal of csc θ:

To derive b), divide line (1) by x²; to derive c), divide by y². Or, we can derive both b) and c) from a) by dividing it first by cos²θ and then by sin²θ. On dividing line 2) by cos²θ, we have That is, 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ. And if we divide a) by sin²θ, we have That is, 1 + cot²θ = csc²θ. The three Pythagorean identities are thus equivalent to one another.

The longtime creative team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, credited here as co-writers and co-directors adapting director Jason Stone's short, capture panicky denial as coping mechanism in the face of the unimaginable, while also satirizing stardom, poking fun at rich-stoner foibles and, most surprisingly, generating genuine dread and despair. For all its visual effects' evidently low-budget seams, and with full acknowledgment of gross-out moments that make this movie not for everyone, This Is the End is masterful comedy filmmaking, all the more impressive for its loose-limbed apparent casualness.
With all the stars playing fictional versions of themselves, Baruchel and Rogen—friends since at least Judd Apatow's cult-classic TV series "Undeclared" and since then part of Apatow's informal movie repertory company—attend a party at James Franco's concrete mansion in L.A. There, the guest roster includes Craig Robinson, a suspiciously obsequious Jonah Hill, Michael Cera—depicted as a gold-plated jerk who feels up Rihanna, getting punched in the process, and blowing a cloud of cocaine into the face of non-user Christopher Mintz-Plasse—along with Mindy Kaling, David Krumholtz, Martin Starr, Paul Rudd, Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari and Jason Segel in cameos. When suddenly faced with what they think is just an unusually destructive earthquake that's spawned fires and a huge sinkhole, most of them die in the ensuing everyone-for-themselves panic and the aforesaid sinkhole.
Franco, Hill, Robinson, Baruchel and Rogen survive and barricade themselves, as Baruchel, who was in a convenience store with Rogen when the earthquake hit, describes seeing people borne up into the skies in rays of blue light. At first no one believes him—Rogen had been covered with detritus from the tremor and saw nothing—but by the time some neighbor begging to be let in gets decapitated and evidently eaten by some growling thing outside, a growing sense of infinitely terrible possibilities takes hold. Then Danny McBride, whom no one knew had shown up invited, appears the next morning behaving pretty much like his onscreen persona in HBO's "Eastbound & Down," which is to say an asshole of the first order—while an ax-wielding Emma Watson proves surprisingly badass. "Hermione just stole all of our [food]," McBride deadpans to a confessional camera recording their last days.
The Biblical nature of the extinction event soon makes itself abundantly clear, and for all the shenanigans and comedy-of-manners conversational riffs and Syfy Movies level of visual effects, the filmmakers don't treat the apocalypse as a joke. What happens feels real enough and scary as Hell, so to speak. You ride a wave of disbelief, acceptance, struggle and, yes, moral choices right along with our ensemble. Heaven help us, but This Is the End is a comedy that's both substantial and substantially funny.

Roby M. Burley Scholarship
Our Scholarship Fund was established in the late 1930's and was originally called the Seattle Club Scholarship Fund. Several years ago, we decided to honor Roby Burley during his lifetime for his outstanding contributions to our club and the Alumni Association.
Roby graduated from Michigan with a degree in Literature in 1920 and, while there, wrote the history of the World War I experiences of the 170-member Michigan Naval Militia. He moved to Seattle in 1928 and joined our club. For many years, Roby was the club historian. He wrote the history of the club using past minutes and personally kept our history from 1959 until his death in 1996. Roby was a wealth of information and the force that kept this club going during the good years and the lean. An avid football and basketball fan, he never missed an event held in the area, even when he was well into his nineties. Roby was our club president in 1935 and 36, served as the Eighth District Director and was recognized by the University with the Distinguished Alumni Service Medal, a rare distinction. His knowledge, wisdom, and guidance over the years were invaluable to all associated with our club. For all these things, we honor Roby M. Burley by having the club scholarship fund carry his name.
Since 1930, we have given scholarships to nearly 50 individuals. We have established specific criteria for the recipients, including being a Washington resident and having a grade point of at least 3.0. The scholarship is not available to freshmen. The awards to date total over $100,000, money which is the interest on our capital fund, and most has been given in the last ten years. In 1946, the fund had $10,000, with the first major contribution to the Fund by the club being the $600 profit from the 1958 Glee Club Concert.
Our Scholarship fund generally awards somewhere between $17,000 and $25,000 each year, with that amount being divided between 3 to 5 recipients. The minimum scholarship amount is $3,000.

The city's Parks Department broke ground this week on the much sought-after Little Bay Park restroom, setting a course to finally replace the port-a-potties that became the heart of contention among many park-goers.
"Next week's groundbreaking will mark the much-anticipated start of construction at Little Bay Park, as well as the end of our planning process for this complex coastal project" said Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski.
The lambasted portable toilets will remain in the park until the fall of 2014, when the project is expected to finish.
When all work is done, the park will boast a new restroom and an expanded 224-car parking lot. It will also feature landscape elements known as bioswales geared at filtering storm-water runoff to reduce the workload of the underlying infrastructure. New trees and shrubs will also be planted, and new utilities will be connected to the park. The modifications and additions will cost $5.04 million.
The road to approval for the project was long. The use of some federal funds required review by the state Department of Transportation; the nearby coastal wetlands demanded the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the city Department of Environmental Protection give their approval, and the State Historic Preservation Office also needed to give the go-ahead.
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) recalled his days wrangling red tape to make the project a reality during his time in the City Council.
"After years of bureaucratic delays, I am pleased that this project will finally commence next week," he said. "A comfort station at a great park like Little Bay Park has been long overdue and I shared in the community's frustration regarding this long-delayed project. With construction set to begin next week, park users can take comfort in the fact that soon enough they will finally be able to utilize a comfort station at Little Bay Park."
The new restroom can only be an improvement to the current state of the park, said Bay Terrace Community Alliance President Warren Schreiber.
"The architectural renderings are visually appealing and in line with what was discussed at the scope meetings," he said. "There should be no complaints as long as the finished product resembles that design."

August 26, 2013 Dear Dance Department Students, Parents, and Faculty: Where has the time gone? It seems impossible that this is my 36th year at BTWHSPVA (Arts Magnet) and my 39th year of teaching; my journey continues to be an incredible one. In the magical spirit of ARTS, I want to welcome you to the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts Dance Family. As you begin 2013-2014, I would love for each of us to reflect on all the people who got us to this place in our lives and who continue to help us achieve our dreams! All of you are the reason I love this school and everything it stands for. The metamorphosis that each of us will experience this year will be beyond what any of us can imagine and I am so excited as I know you are to commit to a year of dedication to uncompromising excellence. I want to continue the theme from last year:
The dance faculty serves as the perfect role models each year by their efforts to transform themselves as artists and educators and to give back to this community; this is why the BTWHSPVA Dance Department has a national reputation! Just a few of the faculty accolades follow: We are committed to practicing "Random Acts of Kindness" in the Dance Department because it builds a stronger sense of community. We started this at the end of the year! Even though it was the last week of classes and we were in jury exams, the Dance Department, from a 9th-grade parent suggestion under the leadership of Natalie Rafael, collected lose change to donate to the families of the victims of the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma. In just a few short days, we collected $200.00 for this worthy cause and I hope we continue more acts of charity throughout the year. • Linda James continues her outreach with the Dance Council of North Texas as
• Kyle Richards continues to demonstrate his courage through his consistent work this • Kate Walker, artistic director of DecaDance, continues work on her master's degree, • Lily Cabatu Weiss attended the Dance USA Conference in Philadelphia as a Board Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts is in the heart of the most exciting cultural arts districts in the nation and the possibilities are endless! As we look to the future we must also reflect on the past. I remember in 1980 when the Dance Department hosted the legendary Merce Cunningham Dance Company along with John Cage and his musicians in an event in the "big studios." The dance and music students had master classes from these incredible artists for one week! The list continued throughout the years with Lar Lubovitch, Bella Lewitzky, Repertory Dance Theatre of Utah, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Sharir Dance Company and renowned artists such as Pearl Primus, Donald McKayle, Paul Taylor, Dwight Rhoden, Robert Battle, Judith Jamison, Twyla Tharp, Gregory Hines, Sidney Poitier, Ben Vereen, and Marvin Hamlisch, among so many others. Our history goes back even further than this; it began in 1922 as the first African-American High School in Dallas, Booker T. Washington High School. The outpouring of pride and support of the BTWHS Alumni for BTWHSPVA is unparalleled; at the dedication of our newly renovated and expanded BTWHSPVA, the last graduating class from the original school took up three entire rows in the Montgomery Arts Theater! We should take pride in the rich heritage that is Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts! I am humbled by all the students, faculty, staff, and administrators who have graced these hallways and who made an impact on my life. As we embark on a new year together, I have an even stronger commitment to building a program with a solid foundation in the classic forms of dance while we attempt to push the envelope and build a cutting-edge curriculum filled with creative collaborations. I want to thank Nash Flores and all the leaders of the Arts Magnet Advisory Board, the staff, and our current chairperson, Matrice Ellis-Kirk (and many others) for the "heart and soul" that they continue to pour into Booker T. Washington HSPVA! A very special thanks goes to Charles Santos, Executive Director of TITAS, for his tireless efforts on behalf of the BTW Dance Department! I am constantly inspired by the contributions from the Dance Guild parents! I also want to thank all of our past principals for their service to the school as I welcome our newest principal, Dr. Scott Rudes! His leadership is proving to be inspiring, thoughtful, and driven and I am looking forward to working with him! Additional thanks go to the DISD Administration & Dr. Liliana Valadez, our Executive Director, for allowing us to participate in the Principal Selection process. Finally, I want to thank you for trusting us with the responsibility of your education in the arts and academics! Let's work together to build on the foundation of the past and imagine the possibilities for our future! Sincerely, Lily Cabatu Weiss Dance Department Chair Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts |

'Girl Most Likely': Kristen Wiig returns in a too-familiar comedy
A review of "Girl Most Likely," a quirky-family comedy that's not quite funny enough, despite game performances by Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Girl Most Likely,' with Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening, Matt Dillon, Darren Criss, Christopher Fitzgerald, Nathan Corddry. Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, from a screenplay by Michelle Morgan. 103 minutes. Rated PG-13 for sexual content and language. Several theaters.
After the success of the 2011 comedy "Bridesmaids," it seemed certain that Kristen Wiig, that master of the knowing mumble, would soon be handed another star vehicle. It's odd, though, that the vehicle would be as slight as "Girl Most Likely," a comedy about a failed playwright named Imogene (Wiig), who after a suicide attempt must move back home to New Jersey with her eccentric mom, Zelda (Annette Bening). It's a character not unlike the one Wiig played in "Bridesmaids" (a failed business owner who moves back in with her mother), and it's a story we've seen countless times before, in which a zany family, after some setbacks, learns how to get along.
And, unfortunately, it's just not funny enough, despite Wiig's game eye-rolling, Bening's sparkly nuttiness (Zelda always seems a little drunk, even when she isn't) and Matt Dillon showing up as a character named "George Bousch," the pronunciation of which Dillon makes into the movie's comic highlight. A sweet bond emerges between Imogene and her oddball brother (Christopher Fitzgerald), and there's something undeniably poignant about Imogene wearing her castoff clothes from when she last lived at home nearly two decades ago; it's as if she's trying to disappear into a former self. But "Girl Most Likely" feels like a collection of familiar characters and moments, rather than a fresh story. You miss Bening's wild-eyed Zelda whenever she totters off-screen; it seems like she's going somewhere more interesting.

What accounts for the red color in salmon?
JR: The salmon's unique color comes from the way the fish metabolizes the carotene pigment astaxanthin, found in high concentrations in the microalgae ingested by the krill and other seafood that salmon eat. (For some unknown reason, white king salmon do not have the ability to metabolize astaxanthin that red-fleshed salmon do.) Astaxanthin is also essential for proper growth. Artificially produced astaxanthin is added to fish food to give farmed salmon its red color.
What do you look for when buying a whole salmon? What about steaks or fillets?
JR: The best indicator of freshness in a whole salmon is a protective bright slime that is produced by the fish while it is in rigor mortis. It looks as though a chef had just painted the fish with aspic that hasn't set yet. It glistens; the light dances off of it. It is somewhat rare, but not uncommon either, to find fish still in rigor in a retail situation. If you see that bright, glistening slime, you have the opportunity to purchase the freshest fish possible. Once a fish passes through rigor, it ceases making the slime but will hang on to it for a day or two. And look for a whole salmon with all of its scales. Check the belly cavity to see how well the fish has been cleaned and to make sure there are no untoward odors. The fish and its belly cavity should have a fresh, clean smell.
Troll-caught salmon are usually sold head-on, gilled, and gutted (a.k.a. "princess dressed"). Net-caught salmon are usually sold headed and gutted ("H&G"). In a head-on salmon, the eyes are small, dense, and change little with age, so they're not a good indicator of freshness.
With steaks and fillets, look for cuts that speak to the eye. Look for the vivid color and the bright aspect known to fish people as "bloom."
How can you store salmon after purchase if you can't use it right away?
JR: Bury whole salmon in ice, which chills and also washes as it melts. Flaked or crushed ice is preferable, as cube ice can leave indentations in the flesh. Wrap fillets or steaks, if needing to keep for a few days, in plastic wrap and cover with ice in a container that will drain the ice melt. Direct exposure to ice or water discolors the flesh and affects flavor.
What is that white matter that comes out of salmon when it is cooking? Is there any way to avoid it?
JR: That's called albumin, exuding protein that has separated from the fish during the cooking process. It is the result of cellular breakdown caused by the age and/or handling of the fish, freezing and/or cooking method, or temperature. The better the quality and the gentler the cooking method, the less white matter you see. If impeccable-quality fish is cooked gently in a way that preserves cellular integrity, it is possible to cook salmon or any other fish without any of the inside of the fish coming to the outside. Personally, I prefer low cooking temperatures but will sometimes bronze surfaces quickly in a hot skillet before putting in a slow oven. If you see that no albumin has found its way to the outside of the fish after cooking, look forward to rewards in flavor and mouthfeel.

Derrick Pouliot

Eligible for draft:
2012 |
Left |
2012 |
5-11 |
1st round (8th overall), 2012 |
195 lbs. |
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2009-10: The first overall pick in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft (by Portland), Derrick Pouliot made a brief appearance with the Winterhawks, playing seven games, while spending the bulk of the season with the Moose Jaw Warriors Midget AAA team in Saskatchewan. Pouliot had 1 assist and was an even plus/minus in his limited stint with Portland. In 43 games with the Warriors he scored 14 goals with 29 assists and 38 penalty minutes. In four playoff games he had 2 assists and 4 penalty minutes.
2010-11: Pouliot skated in 66 games for Portland as a WHL rookie and played for Canada West in the 2011 U17 World Hockey Challenge. Part of a deep and talented defense corps for the Winterhawks, who had the league's third-best record and reached the playoff finals, Pouliot scored 5 goals with 25 assists and was plus-13 with 38 penalty minutes. In 21 playoff games, he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was plus-3 with 16 penalty minutes. Pouliot played in five games for Canada West and had 3 assists with 2 penalty minutes at the WHC.
2011-12: In Pouloit's second season, the Winterhawks slipped to second in the U.S. Division, finishing two points behind Tri-City, but again reached the WHL Finals. In 72 regular season games, Pouliot scored 11 goals with 48 assists and was plus-15 with 79 penalty minutes. In 16 playoff games entering the finals, he scored 3 goals with 10 assists and was plus-5 with 16 penalty minutes. Pouliot was ranked 12th amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings prior to the 2012 NHL Draft.
2012-13: Pouliot signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins in September of 2012. He made his pro hockey debut in the AHL playoffs following an extended post-season with the WHL's Portland Winterhawks. Poulliot made his only AHL appearance with Wilkes-Barre Scranton on June 1st, skating in Game 5 of the Penguins' series against Syracuse, and was -2 with no points nor penalty minutes. A nagging ankle injury limited Poulliot to 44 games for Portland during the regular season. He scored 9 goals with 36 assists and was was +35 with 60 penalty minutes. Pouliot played a key role in the post-season when the Winterhawks captured their first WHL title and reached the Memorial Cup championship game against Halifax. In 21 WHL playoff games he scored 4 goals with 16 assists and was +9 with 12 penalty minutes. Pouliot scored 2 goals with 5 assists, finishing -4 with 10 penalty minutes, in five Memorial Cup games.
Talent Analysis
Pouliot is an exceptionally mobile offensive defenseman with elite vision and puck-distribution. He has a blistering shot from the point, can transition the puck with his head up, and can play a lot of minutes in all situations. He is not a physically imposing presence on the ice, but is extremely strong and not shy from battling for the puck in corners. He possesses a strong, wide base and is difficult to knock off the puck. He is also an explosive skater who is able to quickly rush the puck up ice.
Outside of getting stronger and faster, which is something that practically all prospects need to do, there is little in Pouliot's game that could be considered a weakness. He will need to continue to improve his defensive play, but his game will always be predicated around creating offensive chances and taking some degree of risk.
Pouliot will return to the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL for the 2013-14 season where he will try to compete for another WHL championship and another berth in the Memorial Cup. Long-term he projects to be an offensively dynamic top-four defenseman in the NHL.

Abortion rights are being screwed with yet again! The Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act seeks to criminalize abortions based on the race or the sex of the fetus. That might sound good to some people: supporters of the bill quickly point out how many female fetuses are aborted in China, where there is a one-child policy in most areas and a nationwide preference for boys. However, a closer look at the bill reveals that it's yet another tricky-dick move by abortion opponents to restrict abortion rights and make life more difficult for abortion providers. Keep reading »

Black-headed Gulls have experienced a dramatic decline during the last years, not only in Norway but in the whole of northern Europe. In some countries the population has been reduced with as much as 20-50% from the early 90's up until today. This tendency is not only relevant to the Black-headed Gull. In fact several "common" birds have this extremely negative trend, but it is hard for people to take notice. The latest Norwegian list of threatened species include birds like the European Starling, Lapwing, Common Gull, Curlew and Skylark to name a few, all showing population decline. This Gull was photographed at a traditional breeding colony in the south of Norway. In the last couple of years different measures have been taken to increase the breeding success of the charismatic Black-headed Gull. Hopefully money will be put where the mouth is and the trend line will shift upwards.

Over the Grass Farm
We have 400+ rolling acres, more than half is used for pasture for our cattle, sheep, and horses. Pastures are set up in a New Zealand style rotational grazing system with animals being moved around through a series of small paddocks throughout the grazing season.
Our vegetable production happens in several unheated hoop houses, or high tunnels. Seedlings are started in our greenhouse. We have just under an acre of outside garden space that grows all of our produce during the regular season. We have a small orchard of about 20 fruit trees.
The dairy is run through a cow-share program, where the customer buys a share in a cow and gets milk on a weekly basis. This is the only legal arrangement in the state of Virginia that allows consumers to get unprocessed milk.
Our farm fertility is founded on creating plant, animal, and microbial diversity.
The farm is committed to preserving the array of wildlife found here, too. We have 5 ponds and several streams that are fenced from livestock and managed to encourage native plant growth. Nesting boxes are found all over the farm and are active homes for bluebirds, wood ducks, and bats.
During the Summer-Fall season, Over The Grass will be at the local farmer's markets in Middleburg, Warrenton and The Plains.
Please see our products page for our list of all natural chemical and hormone free vegetables, beef and lamb. All animals are grass fed and receive no grain. All hamburger is PINK SLIME FREE!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Toby!
Facts about Toby
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Toby's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
If you love the look of Labs but would prefer a smaller dog, your search is over. Toby is a Lab mix born in August 2011 who came to Kiko because his family did not feel they could give him the time he deserved and needed. Toby is about 35 pounds, not too big and not too small, and is used to living in a home with children. He was not socialized very much but his foster is broadening his horizons and he has experienced many new things since coming into the rescue. Toby has been meeting and living with other dogs, and was a little on the shy side so is now getting used to meeting new people. Toby is a great dog who will fit in well with a family that is ready to help to continue building his confidence by taking him for walks and on outings instead of keeping him confined to a backyard.
Click here to fill out an Adoption Application
All Kiko dogs have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed, tested for heartworm, sterilized, and require an adoption fee of $400 ($250 for senior dogs and $125 for cats) and an adoption contract.
Other Pets at Kiko Dog Rescue and Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Toby, a Rigaud Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Rigaud, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Rigaud.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rigaud already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Rigaud breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rigaud paves the way for another one to be saved.

LiveChat PreWANKage!
Hey guise! Sorry for the epicly lame livechat this week. Martina just got her root canal done, unbeknownst to her, and she's not feeling too good after having a terrible night sleep after her root canal. We were hoping that we'd come in today and do this livechat and it would make all the sads go away. We definitely do feel a lot better than we did before! That's for sure! We just didn't have the usual amount of energy that we usually have for these livechats. Sorry guise! Next week's livechat will be infinitely better, and we'll make sure to get through all of the packages next time! Here are all of the packages and letters that we got for this week, though we only got through a small selection of them:
Brittany and Kaleigh from California
Leonie from Germany
Meagan from Virginia
Tina from Chicago
Kaitlyn from Japan
Vanessa from Florida
Jenae from Montana
Sherry from Maryland
Sydney and Julie from Oregon
Kiel from Devon
Side note: HAHAHAHA! Tina! You are a woman of your word. Back in our MFBTY Interview Announcement Video we saw this comment, and accepted the challenge:
So, when we saw the letter, we had no idea what it was about or who it was from, because there was no name on it. So we wanted to open it so that we could thank the person it's from. We still didn't know who it was from, until we saw the $20 and howled with laughter. Ha! Tina: that was a joke. You didn't have to send us money. Hahahahaha. But we're amused that you did. I'm not sure what we'll do with it now, though. It's such a special 20. I want to keep it around as our lucky 20. Ha!
Filed Under:
Live Chats-
I'm Meagan from Virginia who sent the letter! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PWpLDidsqA
lololololol the secret hand shake "hugs, good day sir" xD
Does anyone else think Martina sounds like a muppet at 34:04? Just keep replaying it…SO FRICKIN' FUNNY!
This is why my package is coming later on so that martina can eat and have what i give her
I am not going to lie Martina if i was you i would have screamed at them and told them i want pain killers or i am going somewhere else or back to canada. I hate dentists they scare the shit out of me. I have one dentist and i trust him. I would probably just fly to canada if i needed that done. thats just me, yes i am nuts but i don't care.
OK, so when the hubs and I were vacationing in Seoul two weeks ago I had an emergency bowel strangulation surgery. Talk about odd times! My surgeons were just like your dentists in that they didn't tell me what was going on or why, and oh……NO PAINKILLERS!!! What's with not giving us pain medication Korea?!?! Seriously! haha.
You guise turned my horrible day into a better day :) you always make me smile Thank you :)
I'm sorry you didn't feel to good. But the livechat was worth it just to see Martina act as Meemers. I've copied that sound now.
Maybe I shouldn't say anything because Ive never sent anything to Martina & Simon (although Id do it if I could afford it…anyway), but I'll never understand why, since S&M started their diet and everything, people keep on send them junk food!
I mean, even if I wasn't on a diet I wouldn't need people sending me bags of chips…. what's the point? If you really wish to send them food, at least send healthy snacks, but try giving them 'real' gifts, books, dvds, I don't know…
Martina, I get the feeling you might be a Crocodile Dundee fan.
Aaaaaaah! All of the Oregon love in this video made me happy. I might not be in Happy Valley (Willamette Valley represent!), but it was still exciting!
Martina – I feel so sorry for you! I have like the worst fear of going to the dentist… when I was younger I had to take out four of my teeth, and the problem there was the actual shot they had to give me. After the – as the called it – "like a mosquito-bite"-shots I got, I have the greatest fear for dentists. Always skip the anesthesia if I need to drill! Anyway – was thinkin´about the question that someone asked you about wisdom teeth. Some years ago I got the information about my wisdom teeth :( They told me that one of my wisdom teeth was growing in the wrong direction, where they had to cut a part of my skin open and then drill the tooth in two pieces to get it out – I almost cried of fear…. The easy part was actually the "take it out-part"! The worst thing was the shoots before and the freakin pain after. Couldnt´ eat for two weeks :( (- my tip for anyone in this situation = rice). Hugs you the most for the pain and because dentists are the worst :/ *HUG*
I must've come in late, i didn't hear the root canal story! I've had cavities filled in Korea, and they spare no time in getting that stuff done. I was expecting to come back on a follow up visit to get my cavity filled, but nope. They were like "oh hey, you have a cavity…………*drill*" I was like 'WHAT's GOING ON?" because they didn't give me any pain killers….and in the states, they have to give me 3 shots of the stuff before I can't feel the pain *shudder* BUT the good thing is, I was in and out in 30 minutes, good as new. I felt like a car driving into the pit stop in nascar or something….
I finally made it to a live chat! although the youtube comments were apparently laggy, so you guys probably didn't see any of my comments..
That 20$ is hilarious! You should frame it with 'MoofBooty' written under it, all museum style. Talk about conversation piece! -
I used one of your videos for a class presentation and I think I made a good grade, so thanks guys :) Don't worry, I'll share the love – 10 points to EYK!
simon and martina please please do a video on a dog cafe. and is it true some cat cafes you get to take the cats home forever for free if the cat love you i dont know about dog cafes but apparently there is one in hondae so pleaseeeeeeeeee
Dear Simon and Martina….i've sat through two live chats..and gone through various other chats that i might have missed out…..but i'm still no closer to the secret of the ghost in the wardrobe room :( It's haunting me….
I've only been able to stay up for one live chat :( you guys usually do them between 1am and 6am Chicago time. And I'm asleep. But thanks for putting it up so I can be up to date with you guys. Oh and Kohl's is a clothing store, like a Sears if you know Sears lol just saying cuz I really like shopping there
I'm from California!! :D
I am sad :-(
You should use the warheads as a prank on Suzy ^_^
Lol, you guys are such lovey-dovey dorks :P Love you and I hope you both feel better soon (same to SooZee!)
Warheads are the greatest sour candy but they are hard to find in the States. Also, Kohl's is a clothing store, but it also means cabbages in German!
The warheads used to be so easy to find though…I haven't looked in a while, so I don't know…but when I was a kid, every convenience store had them
I never knew khols meant cabbage XD
Yea, if you can find a Sheetz gas station, they have warheads but they are the only place I can find warheads at.
They do have Snickers in Korea ^^ I'm eating some right now~~ but it's not as big at the giant Snickers (sob) :'(
You had a surprise root canal? I missed the live chat because i had to go remove my wisdom teeth. Hurray for sleeping on one side of the face! Ugh my cheek is still numb from the anaesthesia…
Missed the LiveChat, but here's a ptasie mleczko/ptichye moloko recipe for you (and anyone who's interested):
http://executivechefgianfrancochiarini.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-make-ptasie-mleczko-birds-milk.html -
I just watched 1 third of the livechat this time >_< and lol at the $20 story. xD
by the way, Simon did the warheads look like the one below in the pic?
If it does, i used to eat it in year 4 or 5 (im in my early teens now) and i don't remember spitting it out. :P it was sour but after around 30 seconds, it becomes sweet and nice. the only sour part of the lolly (or candy however u say it) is the powder on the outside. -
HAHA! i love it how she sent you guys $20!! ((: hilarious~ ^^
There are actually two Vancouvers: one in Washington, right on the border with Oregon near Portland, and the other one is of course Vancouver B.C. I'm guessing all those Nasties near Happy Valley are from the Washington Vancouver.
I hope you guys feel more energized soon! I'm not feeling too chipper myself, so watching the live chat was a bit like looking into a mirror.
Really wanna send a package over from China, but apparently I can't send food TTxTT You can just have telepathic gifts! haha

An Honors Semester in Florence
The Program
Intensive study in places of great aesthetic and historical resonance has long been an important tradition in an artist's education. To build on this tradition, MICA and Studio Art Centers International (SACI) have established the MICA@SACI honors program in Florence. This program is unique in that a MICA faculty member is in residence at SACI every semester and works intensively on site with a cohort of talented MICA students. Students combine course work in advanced, individually-directed studio with SACI's academic and studio electives.
Participation is open to all majors. The program celebrates artistic diversity and expects the highest quality of work from its students. Admission is competitive, and selected participats can look forward to working with an accomplished group of peers and experienced international faculty at SACI.
The six-credit honors independent studio course, under supervision of the MICA faculty member in residence, is designed to foster each student's personal direction and development. Students also choose up to three elective courses from SACI's numerous studio and academic offerings. Among SACI's many electives are courses in art conservation, fresco painting, art history (taught on site in the museums and monuments of Italy), Italian language and culture, museology, and much more – all of which complement MICA's curriculum and take full advantage of Florence's world-class artistic and cultural treasures.
Students' schedules are organized as follows:
Honors Independent Studio | 6 credits |
SACI Electives | 9 credits |
Total | 15 credits |
All instruction is in English and no previous knowledge of Italian is required.
SACI Consortium Internships
MICA students can now apply for 3 credit internships when they study abroad for a fall or spring semester. SACI interns assist SACI instructors, teaching assistants, and administrators in a non-teaching capacity to ensure the smooth functioning of classes and events in their assigned areas. Examples of possible tasks include preparing materials for class, maintaining studio facilities, and installing exhibitions. Interns will work 8 hours a week.
Applications will be reviewed by Faculty Area Heads and SACI Faculty. Grades will be on a Pass/Fail basis and there will also be a written evaluation of the internship.
Internships are available in the following areas:
- Painting - Design
- Fresco - Digital Multimedia
- Drawing - Photography
- Printmaking - Illustration
- Sculpture - Ceramics
- Library - Renaissance & Baroque Art History
How to Apply:
- Fill out MICA's normal SACI application (i.e. follow the Application Checklist and turn in all required paperwork by the appropriate deadline).
- Submit an additional letter indicating your desired intern subject.
- Obtain one recommendation letter from your academic advisor supporting the internship area/subject chosen.
MICA's faculty member in residence at SACI during the spring 2014 semester is Jo Smail.
SACI's resident faculty members are international (Italian, British, American, and more) and are experienced and expert studio artists, art historians, and educators.
SACI is housed at the 'Palazzo dei Cartelloni,' a beautifully restored Renaissance building in the center of Florence that boasts gallery and exhibition space, classrooms, a library, offices, an art conservation laboratory, media facilities, and studios that surround a large, traditional Italian garden. Facilities at SACI include dedicated MICA studio space. Students live in the city of Florence in fully furnished, self-catering apartments.
Applicants must have junior status while abroad and a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher. Qualified students are encouraged to apply.
To Apply
See the "Applications and Deadlines" link on this website for complete application information. The deadline to apply for fall abroad is March 1 and for spring abroad is September 15.
SACI offers several competitive scholarships for semester study abroad. One large scholarship and several partial scholarships of $500 to $2,500 are available. A committee at SACI confers awards based on a combination of need and merit. You will need to have filed a FAFSA form to be considered and to obtain an SAR report from MICA's Financial Aid office to submit with your study abroad application. (See MICA's Financial Aid office for more information about filing a FAFSA.) Be sure to check with International Affairs to confirm the SACI scholarship application deadline, which may be earlier than the regular semester study abroad application deadline.

BTW Musket man, I'm from Washington myself. As a matter of fact, I've done some deer huntin not to far from your porch(colfax). Ever hear of Hay, Washington?
I have been to Hay a few times! What part do you live in?
Hayyyyyyyy * while nodding enthusiastically and looking at everyone for some help!*
Never heard of it, grew up in Kent/ Federal Way area.
I hunt because......
What season do you hunt there? Rifle here is a circus I will not be any part of. I hunt ML season though!
I bow hunt myself but I take my son over there for rifle. We didn't run into to many hunters but we're on private land. There are a lot of acres open to hunt around there, you just have to register in advance. Sure isn't a shortage of deer. My friend's dad shot a nice whitetail near colfax last season. He's getting it mounted as we speak. We also got 2 big bucks in Hay before that. I'll find the pics and post them.
Its all private here too but alot of locals here really dont care whose place they are on and there is trucks and atv's everywhere. Just not my type of hunting. We let some hunters safety kids hunt our place in rifle every year but I only hunt in ML season.

Last week, John McDonald bid adieu to returning to the Toronto Blue Jays, instead signing a two year contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks worth a total of $3 million. It's a good deal for the defensive minded shortstop, one that likely wouldn't have been matched by the Blue Jays or very many other teams on the free agent market, and certainly not this early on in the off season.
While quotes from manager Kirk Gibson praising McDonald's work ethic and attitude were used as justification for the deal, there was another factor at play. The Diamondbacks had a 2012 mutual option with infielder Willie Bloomquist for $1.1 million. The team exercised their portion of the deal, but Bloomquist turned it down.
Over the following days, missed calls and general miscommunication led to Bloomquist's agent not being able to get in touch with Arizona. The Diamondbacks, one assumes, were tired of waiting and wanted to get their back up infielder issue resolved and so, extended a two year contract offer to McDonald who readily accepted.
Here's the thing: Bloomquist is represented by super agent Scott Boras. Considering the clientèle who call Scott Boras their agent, it's somewhat surprising that a player, not known for his defence, who has a career weighted on base average below .300 would be represented by the best agent in the business. It's purely speculation, but could it be that an agency with far bigger fish to fry didn't make himself available at an important time for his client?
Here's what Boras has to say:
Is it our duty to be in touch with them every hour on the hour so we know nobody else signed? When you want someone, you go get them. We're not the employer. They offer the contracts and pay the money. We don't. It sounds to me like what happened is, they got upset when Willie opted out. They got emotional and they went out and signed a guy who hit .169.
Perhaps if the agent had spent more time with his client up front, he wouldn't have had to spend so much effort slamming the Diamondbacks and their new back up shortstop.
While it may not be his duty to check in on a team every hour on the hour, it is his job to ensure that his client gets the best deal possible. Willie Bloomquist isn't Prince Fielder. I don't think it's a given that Bloomquist will get $1.1 million on the free agent market.
And while the former Diamondbacks' shortstop may have a better batting average than McDonald, it should be noted that with a similar amount of playing time over their respective careers, the player who agreed to terms with Arizona, has proven to be almost twice as valuable to his team, based largely on his exceptional defence.

I need to repot my Ponytail palm. What kind of soil would you recommend? It's leaves have been turning brown and the soil always seems wet ever since I repotted it around 4 months ago. I mixed potting soil with sand and it just doesn't seem to drain. Any recommendations?
Thanks Lori |

- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Sun, Sep 9, 12 at 11:57
Lori, For the easiest method to getting your plant back to health, take a good potting soil and cut it by at least 50% with perlite. Repot your plant in a larger pot (maybe 2-3" of annular space between the pot's sides and the rootball), after giving it a haircut (leave 4-6" of bangs), at the same soil level it's at. Don't water for a few days and then give it a drink. It needs more sun (this plant grows best in acclimated-to full sun), but your Beaucarnea recurvata should recover. Sand is a highly overrated soil ingredient and, most times, shouldn't be used if something else is available (and it usually is). I expect in 10 years or so to see your plant like the one in the link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Beaucarnea recurvata

How often should these guys be repotted, I've had mine for about 3 years still in it's original pot. It gets a cup of water once a month year round whether it needs it or not, seems to be doing OK. Annette |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Sun, Sep 9, 12 at 12:38
Annette, It's fine the way it is, if you want to keep it small , but it's like any other plant, mostly - the more resources you give it, the larger / more prosperous it will get. Since a lot of us grow it for its 'footprint', the more growing it can do the larger the foot gets. |
- Posted by juliebees2009 7 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 3:55
Wish I could uploads a picture of mine it look just about like the smaller one and I have to say I never saw one that large in the first picture I love just coming and looking at what others have and get ideas I hope mine will grow tall it would be a beautiful thing to watch grow. Mine for ow if I can just keep it alive I will be happy..Anybody have some secrets on how they care for theirs I never had one of these before but its just different , the bottom of mine is still a bit small its out of the pot but not what you would call a foot...it's probably just a young plant. I probably will not live long enough to see mine grow as large as the first one. |
Thanks for sharing those pictures Lori and Annette. I think they both look very good. I liked the plant in Jeff's picture but I prefer the longer dark green leaves. Thanks again |

That is one heck of a ponytail palm Lori! WOW |
- Posted by lorissa111 z5bOH (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 15:29
Thanks for the responses. I wanted to give you an update. I repotted my ponytail palm. I used cactus potting soil and added some perlite. When I took him out of the pot there were no roots. I dipped him in a solution of water and RooTone before I repotted. I will let you know how he does. I have had him for over 15 years. When I got him from a friend he was half as tall. I have seen them in Mexico 3 stories high. I wish I would have left him in his original pot till it split. I have heard they like to be tight in their container. Thanks again, |
- Posted by CorpsmanCooper FL8b (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 16:52
Lori, I received a ponytail palm from my husband's grandmother that was in the same condition! The roots were rotted off and some of the base. I removed as much of the rot as I could, dipped it in cinnamon and let it dry for a day or two. After it dried I planted it in a mix of 50% pea gravel, 25% perlite and 25% MG cactus potting mix. I didn't water it for another week. Low and behold I saved the darn thing. It's thriving and ready to be potted up! ~Erin~ |

I will be honest I like mine the size it is I like Lori's but for me I have so many plants I dont have the room my son will not allow a plant in his room I have one that looks like cousin it its a air plant and he has the perfect lighting for it but no way. ughhh kids.....I have from African violets to the ZZ plant and I have a 3 story home and its full of one of everything I have it neat but each room has its on species of plant.
