Most Americans say they are middle class – aspiring to an ideal that eludes definition and raising the question, "What is a middle class income?" The answer varies by the wealth level and gender of the respondent, according to new research from Millionaire Corner.
More than one-third of investors – 36 percent – say it takes a minimum annual income of $70,000 for a household to qualify as middle class, according to a survey of more than 600 individuals conducted by Millionaire Corner in March. Another 33 percent identifies $50,000 as the minimum annual income it would take for a household to be considered middle class.
These numbers aren't too far off from those provided by the federal government. Real median income for households headed by a married couple was $72,751 in 2010, according to the latest data available from the U.S. Census Bureau, and was $49,445 for all types of U.S. households.
A minority of investors surveyed by Millionaire Corner feel a middle class family could have incomes far above and below this median. Fourteen percent says the minimum is lower - $40,000 in annual income - and another 14 percent says it takes at least $100,000 to be middle class. At the extremes, 2 percent says a middle class family needs a minimum of $200,000 in annual income and 1 percent says a household can be considered middle class with less than $25,000 a year.
Why the skewed view of what it takes to be middle class? The perception appears to be influenced by wealth status and gender – and to a lesser extent, retirement status. Responses from the least affluent survey participants – those with investable assets of less than $100,000 are skewed to lower minimum incomes. Nearly 30 percent of the least affluent say an income of $40,000 defines the middle class.
At the other end of the scale are the Millionaires, who have investable assets of $1 million or more. Only 12 percent of Millionaires feel that an income of $40,000 is enough to be considered middle class. Nearly 40 percent of Millionaires say a household needs a minimum of $70,000 in annual income to be considered middle class and more than 12 percent says a family needs at least $100,000.
Women are more likely than men to think a family with a minimum annual income of $40,000 is middle class, about 18 percent vs. 11 percent, respectively. Men, on the other hand, are more likely than women to think a family needs $50,000 or $70,000 to qualify as middle class. Retirees are more likely to set a lower standard for what it takes to be middle class.
Definitions of the middle class may vary, but government research shows that an increasing number of middle class households are relying on two-incomes to maintain their standard of living. The earnings of wives, in particular, have become increasingly important over time, according to a report issued by the White House Task Force on the Middle Class. The median share of family income coming from wives' contributions rose from 20 percent to 35 percent between 1973 and 2008, according to the first annual report from the middle class task force.

Got an e-mail from Plant Delights that they have a limited number of the giant upright EE back in stock. $22 price tag. FYI...
Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Susan, I went over to Plant Delights and checked and the one they have listed at $22 is the Alocasia x portora (they have it listed as "portodora"). With the weather warm, this is the time to put one in the ground all right; the ones I have that are seedling selections (not tissue culture clones) are already massive and the summer has just begun.

The one Plant Delights has is a Colocasia giant Thailand strain. But is is now sold out again. |

Yes, I know. I checked this morning and it was still being offered, but by afternoon, they were gone. I ordered Sunday night as soon as I got the e-mail around 7:30 p.m., so I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones. I also ordered C. 'Ruffles'. I have wanted this for a long, long time, and since the order for the Thai giant was under the $35 limit, thus, I needed to order something else, I thought, why not? Yeah - I hope I'm one of the lucky ones. P.S. I think they said they would have more in a month or two. Will it be too late to plant then? Susan |
Gosh I have a field full of Ruffles...I would have traded you some! I have a field full of Chicago Harlequin too. |
- Posted by cactusfreak 7B GA (My Page) on Wed, Jun 29, 05 at 23:03
I didn't get my e-mail from PD until 8:13 Tuesday night. I put one in the cart right away. If I plant mine outside I intend to dig it up and transplant it to the greenhouse in the ground. Or I may just plant it in a very very large pot then transplant it outside early next year. |
- Posted by susanlynne48 7a-OKC (My Page) on Thu, Jun 30, 05 at 20:55
I got an e-mail from PD today stating they were out of the Thai Giant, but would have more stock in a few weeks. I don't know if that means I got one or not. I did get an e-mail confirming my order, with an order #, etc., but still don't know for sure. Probably not....sigh....., but wonder if that means they will send the 'Ruffles'. Their minimum order is $35 which means that half of that order is $21 (I think the Thai was $22, and the Ruffles was $20). Bihai - I don't have anything that is big enough to be "tradable" yet, but eventually would love to trade! I haven't even thought of checking around on the forum first because I don't have anything yet, except the common stuff. Susan |
- Posted by cactusfreak 7B GA (My Page) on Fri, Jul 1, 05 at 20:48
Same with me. I got a confirmation email with order #. I emailed PD and ask if I got one or not. Even they don't know because they might have 'over sold'. If so it will be mailed 7/13. But if not they will reserve me one for the Aug. shipment. |

Does anyone have any Colocasia gigantea from their original stock? When i first got mine 3 years ago it easily got a 10 foot spread. I think the key to growing those forms bigger is taking away the multiple pups that appear each spring. Michael M. |
- Posted by ellenmarie 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 24, 08 at 17:38
I just bought a Colocasia gigantea Thailand Giant Strain from Plant Delight Nursery. They just came in stock today. I went a little crazy and bought 2 others. Coffee cup & Black runner. I've been growing EE for 4 or 5 years, just the regular kind that you buy at Walmart. I've got some illustras too that are doing quite nicely. |

Comments about Perspective 2019 Green:
These glasses fir right out of the box. I do love them and was amazed at how fast I got them I have order from other sites and waited weeks for the glasses to arrive, not here. I got them in about a week after ordering them which was a very nice surprise. I have gotten compliments wearing these glasses and feel they a good enough quality to wear every day.

Comments about Perspective 2019 Green:
I was a little skeptical at first when I found these glasses…there were no reviews and it said green…but I took a chance and I still don't see any green on them lol. I LOVE these glasses! I have always got designer glasses and spend a ton of money. I have also never bought glasses online. These glasses are the same quality as designer glasses I get! And they are super cute, I get compliments all the time!

Comments about Perspective 2019 Green:
These frames look exactly as pictured and are classic in style, yet also trendy without being overly so. My only "con" is that it is very hard to accurately size frames, even using the sizing information on a previous pair of glasses, because details on each frame are different regarding overall frame width (a measurement it's impossible to ascertain by adding lens width and bridge width). In my case, I have an extremely large head and even though my previous pair of glasses were actually a bit wider across my face than necessary, this new pair (which measured one millimeter shorter on "paper") is not quite wide enough to avoid having the temple pieces stretch out a bit on the springs. My other comment regarding this specific frame is that the temple pieces have the wood-grain pattern on the *inside* of the temples, where the nice pattern can't really be seen since it's against the face. They would be much nicer if the pattern were actually on the outside of the temple pieces. I'm not really sure of the point of having the pattern on the inside where it's only visible when the glasses are off and sitting on your nightstand. But the frames are nice, wide enough not to look silly (if you have a big head like me), trendy but not *too* trendy, and also classic enough that they should look fashionable for the life of the glasses.

Make Ottumwa Shine
The Make Ottumwa Shine Committee continues to work on improving Ottumwa's appearance. Our committee has examined the City's nuisance code and is proposing two amendments to Ottumwa's City Code. The first is amending the maximum allowable height for grass from 12 inches to 8 inches. The second would add a chapter on Parking and Driveways requiring any new driveway construction to be of concrete, asphalt or brick. It would also prohibit regular parking in the front yard. We believe that these changes would help improve the appearance of our neighborhoods.
Please visit our Proposed Code Amendment page and give us your thoughts. We want to hear from YOU!
Purple bags are available at the Recycling Center and City Hall year round if you feel need to clean up someplace in town. We supply purple trash bags and gloves – families, organizations, neighborhood groups and businesses all pitch in to SHINE UP an area. When the purple bags are filled, call 641-683-0685 and the bags will be collected.
Keeping the business districts in Ottumwa clean is vital to Making Ottumwa Shine. These areas of our community are the most visited by Ottumwans, and our out of town guests. We are asking property owners to help all year by picking up cigarette butts and other small trash, pulling weeds from sidewalks and green spaces, and keeping sidewalks and curbs swept and clear of debris. See our call to action flyer.
Make Ottumwa Shine Week was held May 12-17, 2014. Volunteers from around the community rolled up their sleeves, adopted clean up sites and pitched in to make Ottumwa a cleaner place. Free Landfill Day was held Saturday, May 17th with great community participation at the Landfill, Recycling Center and drop off site in downtown Ottumwa.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the Make Ottumwa Shine Clean Up Week a success. Over 60 volunteers adopted 25 areas around the city and made them shine!

The Gay Agenda
By Edgar Casillas
CUTTHROAT COUTURE: The Project Runway finale is upon us, and while this season offered a disappointing measure of drama (what, no craft service lunches spitefully laced with sewing needles? No dainty models showing up high on PCP?), the three debatably best designers of the bunch -- drape-til-he-drops Rami Kashou, shorts-jumpsuit'loving Julian Lewis, and the humblest guy on cable TV, Christian Siriano -- are sure to turn out some "fierce" collections March 5 as they battle for $100,000 dollars and the most coveted prize of all: Even the faintest smile from the perennially unamused Nina Garcia.
SPECTACLE: Show stoppers Kiki & Herb bring their riotous antics to Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit, where the duo will regale admirers with their ribald humor and sign copies of their first-ever DVD, Kiki & Herb: Live at the Knitting Factory. If the irreverent anecdotes and chicken scratch of this drag cabaret act, made up of Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman, aren't enough to entice you, come for the free wine. Check it all out Monday, March 3, from 6pm-8pm, 5 West 19th Street at 5th Avenue, New York City. No invitation needed.

Latitude 2009
Latitude: Overheard Conversations Part 4
The good folk of Latitude are becoming more lucid and lyrical, as guest blogger Terry Staunton has discovered...
1. "I've embraced the concept of time, it's just that I'm not very good at telling it right now."
2. "Buying a brownie from an unshaven man in a field requires a leap of faith I'm not prepared to take."
3. "Unless you're fully committed to shitting, you'd be better off following me to the piss tent."
4. "The thing about being friends with Tap is that no matter how many drugs you take, you'll never reach his level of banality."
5. "My dad's off his face again, but at least he's nowhere near his Van Morrison CDs."
6. "That poet was talking about having a rhyming dictionary. Isn't that cheating? What a fuckin' fraud."
7. "I'm going to an STD clinic when I get home. I'm sure I've caught something off that toilet seat."
8. "Heart Of Glass got me through my exams, losing my virginity and leaving home. Their later stuff was bollocks, though."
9. "Seriously, I thought it was called Ricky Pedia. I assumed it was a bloke with a really popular MySpace page."
10. "I love it here. I was worried that it might be overrun by the sandals and henna brigade, but I can cope with them when they're a healthy minority."

Everyone who lives along the Front Range must visit Casa Bonita once. Really, you're not a resident if you haven't seen the cliff divers and suffered the mariachis, climbed through Black Bart's cave, muscled your way through the knots of sticky, rapidly greening children and eaten the sopaipillas.
I've been to Casa Bonita. Even better, I've actually seen the kitchen. It's not something I'd ever want to do twice.
Everyone who wants to say they've experienced Colorado's true cuisine has to go to the Buckhorn Exchange at least once, sit under the whale penis, look their dinner in the glossy glass eye, and eat the yak and rattlesnake and seventeen pounds of charred cow in a single sitting.

I've been there. Done that. Several times. And yeah, I've eaten the balls.
This ain't my first rodeo, as they say. I've done my culinary tour of Colorado. I may not be to the Mile High born, but I have eaten the hell out of my adoptive home, taken to it with the fervor of a convert — of a man who knows precisely how green the grass is on the other side of the fence and has gladly turned his back. Still, it seems that the longer I live here, the deeper Denver's history of weirdness grows — the more places keep popping up that I have to see, have to experience. Places like White Fence Farm.
We'd made it across acres of parking lot — past the giant chicken car, the manicured lawns, the bunnies cavorting in the grass, the landscaped duck pond (I have this weird thing about taunting tame ducks). I'd managed to get Laura, a militant, fairly aggressive atheist, past the restaurant's front counter, past the sign that'd caught her eye — the one that said something along the lines of how even though prayer wasn't allowed in schools, it was more than welcome in the dining room — without her picking a fight. And I'd managed to get my mom to bypass the gift shop and the Christmas store. We'd even successfully executed the White Fence Farm dance: jumping through the hoops of getting a number, waiting for that number to be called, taking that number across the lobby and to the counter where the ancient dining room pit boss tore my ticket and checked to make sure I wasn't trying to pull anything sneaky, then taking my number to another girl who seated us with a smile and a flutter of her ruffles.
Fortunately, the White Fence Farm has beer (although the menu warns that any loud or unchristian drunkards will be bounced immediately), and I needed a drink badly. I ordered a tall pilsner glass, another for Laura, wine for my mom. Round one.
While we waited for our drinks, I ticked off some of the rules, the bits of hard-earned critic wisdom that this visit to White Fence Farm was violating. For example, when the parking lot is bigger than the restaurant, be wary. Wonder to yourself — even if only briefly — why the establishment in question needs so much space. What kind of crowds are they expecting that they have dedicated so much valuable real estate to blacktop and white lines?
The answer is big ones — really, really motherfucking big ones.
Here's another truism: Don't trust a restaurant that has its own gift shop. Not if you're looking for food. If you're looking for gifts — for little ceramic figurines of fat children praying and Christmas ornaments in June — then by all means, go nuts. But if dinner is your primary concern, don't trust a place with a gift shop. Or an arcade. Or, God forbid, its own petting zoo.
White Fence Farm has all three. Plus live music, slides, a carriage museum, horsie rides, its own playground...
The original White Fence Farm restaurant, in Romeoville, Illinois, dates back to the 1920s, when it was opened by Stuyvesant Peabody, a Chicagoland coal millionaire. It was sold in the '50s to the Hasterts, an honest, God-fearin' farm family (yeah, they're related to the former Republican Speaker of the House), and today can seat 1,000. In 1973, metro Denver got its White Fence Farm, the only other one in the country (except for a few takeout spots), and it has the same time-machine concept dressed in Calvin Coolidge drag with a restaurant at its heart. That poor girl on the other side of the room hauling around tray-jacks and mountains of chicken while dressed like a Mormon prairie wife? Like a stripper or the guy who wears the Goofy suit at Disneyland, she's doing that for a paycheck while upholding some kind of theme-restaurant mutual hallucination that, while within the bounds of the White Fence complex, it is really 1924. In Oklahoma. And that you, the customer, have been invited over for an ol'-fashioned country dinner at the Wilson and Wuestner farm.
The interior looks like a clearinghouse for dead-relative knick-knackery, like the Palace of a Thousand Grandmas. The white walls and window frames, the flowered curtains, the lovingly polished fixtures and aged photos of children dressed like cowboys or in their Sunday best — it all belies the throbbing, commercial core of a place designed rather like a Vegas casino: difficult to escape, deceptively dressed in outmoded finery, built only as a machine made for separating rubes from their dollars.

Log in to share your thoughts Re: What is "Vanishing Twin Syndrome"? I'm having twins, is this something I should worry about? In some cases, one fetus in a multiple pregnancy will die in the womb, and the fetal tissue will be condensed in its sac by the other twin, placenta, or mother, giving the appearance that the baby has literally disappeared. This is what we call Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS). VTS usually occurs in the first trimester, and rarely are there real medical risks to either mom or the other twin that are associated with it when it does happen this early on. Karen Moise, RN Q&A: Vanishing Twin Syndrome? I supposedly had a vanishing twin in my seventh week. Other than it happening to me I hadn't heard anything about it before I got pregnant, or after until now. My mom was really devastated about it, but it really didn't phase me at all. And now my little girl is perfect in every way! aclark92 | Q&A: Vanishing Twin Syndrome? It usually happens within the first trimester of pregnancy. My first visit, my doctor (the ultrasound tech) saw two sacs but only one baby within one of the sacs. The second sac stayed empty and eventually disappeared around my 2nd trimester. Your body will usually absorb the empty sac or it may come out as if you are spotting. I am now 5 months expecting a baby girl and everything is fine. The other sac is no longer there but it didn't effect me in any way. msamb04 | Q&A: Vanishing Twin Syndrome? In the beginning of my pregnancy (6 weeks) my doctor saw 2 sacs but one baby in one of the sacs. The empty sac looked just like the sac with the baby but empty. Prior to me going to the doctor, I did have some spotting, so it could've been the empty egg losing the baby. However, it didn't effect me in any way. The other sac eventually disappeared during my 2nd trimester about 4 months or so and now I am 7 1/2 months pregnant expecting a healthy baby girl. msamb04 | what-is-vanishing-twin-syndrome I found out I was pregnant w/ twins At 7 wks....2 sacs, 2 babies, 2 heartbeats...one was noticeably smaller....I had cramping and 2 tiny pink spottings....2 wks later the smaller one had no heartbeat....It took several months for sac to shrink ....thankful to have a healthy baby girl . kristendoiron1 | Q&A: Vanishing Twin Syndrome? I went in for my first appointment at 8 weeks. My doctor told me I had had a twin pregnancy and one had died most likely in the 6th week there was a sack, a baby, but no heartbeat. I found it to be so sad. In the 12th week there was still a sack with no baby. I am now 5 months pregnant with a healty baby boy! I'm so excited! My doctor told me that the cause is unknow but that it most likely happens because there is something wrong with the baby that it's better off for the healthy baby and mom. Lilmary628 | Q&A: Vanishing Twin Syndrome? If both babies seem to be ok and they are growing at the same rate you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I had a miscarriage the first time I was pregnant and the second time I was pregnant with twins. They should have been 6 or 7 weeks, one had a heart beat and one did not. The one that did not was also smaller than the other. I went on to have a very good pregnancy and great delivery and now have a very healthy 3 month old baby girl. I was sad about losing another baby but my joy for having one healthy heartbeat was amazing. It didn't make it easier but I just knew I was blessed to at least have one of them. darcimae1503 | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

Urine color
Name: durwood Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
What color is urine supposed to be? What does it mean if it a different color?
Urine typically is a shade of yellow. There are a few disorders which change the color of urine in a dramatic way. To be specific one should see their doctor. Generally when urine gets brown or Coke colored it suggests a liver or bile duct problem. Red urine can be blood or can look red from certain medicines. Black urine is classic for a genetic defect. The shades of yellow of urine are usually related to the concentrated of urine.
Something that can really change the color of urine is the vitamin B2 (riboflavin). If you swallow a vitamin B2 supplement, and the amount is more than your body needs, the vitamin is excreted in the urine. The urine will be a VERY bright yellow - almost fluorescent (except it probably will not glow in the dark!). But there is nothing wrong with you when this happens - it is just your body getting rid of extra vitamin B2. Some health authorities use this as an example that taking large doses of vitamins only makes expensive urine. However, nutritionists who advocate large vitamin supplementation counter by saying that it is only when the excess amounts of vitamins spill over into the urine that you know for sure that your body is getting the maximum amount of the vitamins.

I'm having trouble finding a small bit of aluminum siding for a repair job (without having to special order). Wondering if I can use Vinyl siding (which I can buy readily at Home Depot) to patch a small area next to existing aluminum siding? Are the sizes the same? Would they inter-lock with each other? etc. I know it may not look that great (which I'm not worried about), just need to know if it would logistically work?! Thanks for any input-- |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by dave777_2009 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 10, 09 at 18:59
I would strongly assume that they won't interlock together. They ARE different products, different manufacturer, and different materials. Generically - the 'size' (for whatever your current reveal is) would be the same. Since siding is generally installed with several different standard 'reveal' options. ie: 5,6,8,10" reveals... You mention HD. HD sells aluminum tape in their ducting, heating area... This is very thin stuff... but it is aluminum. For example - I have a role of 2.5" wide 'Nashua 324A' aluminum tape. Nashua is manufactured by Covcorp, in KY. Can't you buy a small piece or short section of your current aluminum siding, and then just fold or glue, or tape that in?? Since your planning on jury rigging some vinyl - I'm just wondering why you don't do the same with aluminum instead. Or possibly "I know it may not look that great (which I'm not worried about)" buy a piece of Cedar siding, or just use a piece of cedar board - which is extremely insect repellant - cut it to fit; wrap it up with some tar paper; cover that with the aluminum tape; nail it up; and than paint to match. Thinking - since aluminum siding is going to be THIN - it might be better to purchase a board of James Hardi Cement Siding. This is thin - will not rot; costs only $6; wouldn't need to have tar paper; can be nailed up; and have the aluminum tape applied over it. |

10 things to do for $10 this weekend, October 28-30, 2011
This weekend is all about one thing: Halloween. While there are a couple things you can do without stretching your costume muscles, nearly all of the events happening are related to Halloween in some way. If you don't like the holiday, you best hit up the video store and stock up on full seasons of your favorite show, because you're not going to want to leave the house.
Halloween Diorama Workshop at Denver Museum of Miniature, Dolls and Toy (Friday, $5)
First things first, you need to make sure the kids are happy this holiday, and there is no better way to do it then to get them working on a Halloween Diorama. They'll not only be learning valuable skills involving repurposing old materials, but they'll also have a chance to make a kickass little box full of Halloween goodness.
Spook Family Friday Night at Tattered Cover Colfax (Friday, free)
After making the kids tired with a little diorama workshopping, what better place to hit up than the Tattered Cover for some scary story telling? By the time you get them home, they'll be conked out so they won't notice you banging away on that Daft Punk Halloween costume you've been working on all month.
Blurred Vision at Plus Gallery (Friday, free)
When artist Bill Amundson left last year, he left behind a pretty big hole in Denver's heart, but this show, which includes a whole new set of his work, is sure to blow the minds of those who are both familiar and new to his art. Just take a look at the small picture on the right and you'll know exactly what we're talking about.
Black Halloween at the Meadowlark (Friday, $5)
DJs Peter Black, CacheFlowe, Narky Stares, Chevez Y Chavez and Tonyo! will be kicking out jams all night long to keep you dancing. It is, of course, a Halloween Ball, so you'd best show up in costume if you don't want to look like a fool.
Dia de los Muertos Celebration at Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary and Cemetery (Saturday, free)
Dia de los Muertos is all about celebrations, so even though it will be going down in a cemetery, don't be fooled, sugar-skull paintings, dancing, mariachi, art, food and plenty of other fantastic events will be going down this year.

It seems as of late the nForce 790i is finally making its rounds through our labs, most likely because of the GTX 280 performing as well as it does, especially in SLI and Tri SLI configurations.
NVIDIA is the only company to support SLI; there is no licence for SLI on Intel chipsets, which honestly is a real shame as Intel has already got Crossfire working fine - why not SLI? The easy guess is that NVIDIA wants to hold the market to ransom over SLI support.
So far we have had the ZOTAC board cross us; now it's time for MSI, one of the biggest motherboard makers in Taiwan, and one of the biggest presences here in Australia to have its time in the sun.
Today we have been given the P7N2 Diamond motherboard. This baby is aimed at being the top gun of all 790i SLI boards out there. While that's a good aim, does it perform? - Let's see.

It was Halloween, in the middle of Panama's Pearl Islands, and CBS had just begun filming the 12th season of its hit reality franchise Survivor. And one person was already feeling the heat. ''I honestly have no idea what they think about me,'' he said, ''if they even know what I do, or if they look at me as disposable. It's business, and nobody tells you anything. And I've definitely learned you really can't trust anybody.''
Pretty standard Survivor speak, but in this case the player was none other than host Jeff Probst, sitting in his crew quarters while periodically blowing into an aboriginal didgeridoo, and the game in question was his negotiations with CBS regarding a new contract (set to expire at the end of season 12). Feeling burned out after snuffing torches for five and a half years and concerned as to what degree the network valued his services, Probst the face and voice of one of television's landmark programs went into season 12 assuming it would be his last. But, as has happened so often on his own show, the host ultimately made an alliance he simply could not refuse, reupping for four more editions over two years.
The turn of events can be traced to a few key developments: CBS' agreeing to more dollars and a shorter commitment, the return of other key behind-the-scenes players (such as executive producer Tom Shelly, challenge producer John Kirhoffer, and production designer Dan Munday, whose contracts were also all up), and most important a reinvigorated Probst. ''I literally travel around the world, meet fascinating people, am part of a great social experiment, and get paid for it,'' he said in his dressing room just minutes before Sunday's Survivor: Guatemala finale. ''It really was, this is your one life, what do you want to do with it?'' For the next two years at least, Probst has his answer.

This is quite a record for anyone, but for Eric Wolf, it's the substance of a dream since he was in middle school. A student at McCallie School since the seventh grade, Wolf has been preparing for a career in the military. Both grandfathers, he said, were in the military — one a Marine and the other is a World War II veteran.
Wolf will begin his training this month with "Plebe Summer" — the six or seven weeks of basic training by upper classmates. The purpose is to build up as a team player. "If I can pass this summer test," Wolf said, "I can go anywhere for sure."
In not only preparing academically for Annapolis, he said, "the training stresses the whole person — helping in every way possible." And he's expecting it to be really difficult.
Wolf said he was challenged in this direction when he read "Lone Survivor," the story of a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan. He said he felt it was the hand of God in choosing that book when "Mom handed the book to me."
He said reading it made him look at what he was doing to serve and he asked, "What will I give back?" as he thought about his loving family and the opportunity to attend a good school. He said he knows his parents are proud of him ... "probably would have been happier for me to go to a school other than military." But, he added, "they know what I'm doing."
Wolf grew up in Youngstown, Ohio. Dr. Steven Wolf and his family moved to Cleveland 10 years ago. "My father wanted a smaller practice," Eric explained, and he decided to move to Cleveland.
He has three older sisters, and said it was hard to explain to them about his desire to be in the military. "They're not happy," he said, "but they're really supportive and very compassionate." And his younger sister, too, is an important part of his life. He said his sisters "expect quite a lot from me."
He said his family is really close and enjoy being together. And everything he has learned in life started in the household. "(They) have done a great job, he added, attributing this to his parents' strong marriage — "greatest I know." He said his family is the strongest part of his life and he feels extremely blessed to be a part of it. "I have achieved everything through my family and McCallie."
Wolf says he appreciates the opportunity he had to be able to go to McCallie School. Being a member of the McCallie athletic team, Wolf said, helped him to build a work ethic.
He said his coaches had a positive effect on his life. "We were pushed to the limits and beyond," he said. "They knew when to teach and when to encourage and I was better because of their guidance," he said.
Wolf was in track and football. In addition to 10 varsity letters, this year, he won the prestigious Stephen Athletic medal — best all-around as voted by coaches. He also received the Campbell award which epitomizes McCallie men voted by the student body.
Wolf attends Broad Street United Methodist Church and said he loves going there and wishes he could stay. "The direction the church is going is fantastic," he said, "and I am growing in faith there."
For fun — more than for educational purposes, Wolf said — he took a trip to France recently. However, he did take a day trip to Normandy to see the American cemetery. "It helped shed a lot of light on the American involvement in World War II," he said. "When you learn about it in school, you hear about D-Day, The Battle of the Bulge and the peace. But what you seldom understand, he continued, "is that the Allied infantry fought from the French coast to the German capital in Berlin, all on foot, with the risk of being killed every day."
Wolf said the scope of the American sacrifice truly hits you when you see those 10,000 white crosses and understand they represent only a fraction of those who fell or were wounded in the war.
Induction day for the McCallie graduate is June 27, reporting at 8 a.m. for indoctrination. He said he knows "it will be the worst and the best experience of life, but a growing opportunity." And after hearing from academy grads, his decision stands: "I wouldn't have gone anywhere else."

Home Safety
The Minnesota Department of Health created the Home Safety Checklist (the Checklist) to help parents of young children reduce hazards in their homes that may cause childhood injuries. Family home visitors can use the Checklist when working with parents as a tool for providing home safety education.
This page has several resources on home safety information for parents of young children.
- The Home Safety Checklist, available in English and in Spanish, is a brief tool that can stay in the family's home and help parents think about what they can do to make their home a safer place.
- The Reference Guide is intended for family home visitors. It has more detailed information on the questions included in the Checklist and tips on how to use the Checklist as a tool in developing relationships with parents.

Yesterday, I took some soil from a pot and put it in a small cup. I filled it with water and I saw many of those white bugs floating. When the water receded, they went back into the soil. I caught some of them with a toothpic and I managed to take some pictures of them with a cheap microscope. [see attachment] As you can see, the creature is 1mm in length. It has two thick hairy... antennas(?). Some legs along its body and a hairy... ass :p I would be grateful if someone here could recognise it so I can defend my plants if it's going to pose a threat to them. A few months ago, all of my tomato plants, a pumpkin plant and a mellon plant ended up as food for some spidermites. I can't let those white bugs do something similar... |

Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry there's not enough detail there. BTW what good is a microscope that shows a shadow with no detail? My digital camera would do better. Did you by chance post the wrong picture? |
The description sounds like, and the picture looks to me like, a springtail. Pretty harmless little characters. They like moist places and eat decaying organic matter. |
I'm still chuckling at this image. I love the effort you took. I agree with garb that I 'think' I can see the silhouette of a springtail, but also agree with Taz that the microimage made it difficult to identify. Anything that you can spear with a toothpick can be zoomed in on with your digital. Sort of looks like a hand shadow puppet we did as kids. ;-) |
Looks like a springtail to me. |
@taz1622 A cheap one! :P Just like mine. But it's not like this when you look with your eyes. The picture came out like a shadow because I had to manually set the focus, exposure and shutter speed. With the AUTO feature, the only thing you would see is a bright dot! :p I tried to zoom at it with my digital camera but I couldn't get something better than the first picture.. http://www.imagehosting.gr/out.php/i1454596_img-0938.jpg The circled white dots are the creatures. The others are specs of dust. But I am sure that your assumptions are correct and they are springtails. Because, with the microscope and my eyes not the camera, I can see them with much more detail. When they are alive and moving, they slip on the glass and I can see them sideways. They look exactly like these two So I think it is ok to plant some lettuces. |
If they're popping like popcorn when disturbed they're springtails, Otherwise???? When I had a bunch of springtails in a bowl of sphagnum moss and watered it, it looked like I'd just poured soda pop. |
