All our attendees have one overarching reason for attending the NAMI National Convention: improving the lives of people who live with mental illnesses and the lives of the people who love and care for them. Our attendees are responsible for securing or recommending mental health services, products, and information for themselves, loved ones, clients, and patients diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. They are eager for the latest information, treatment options, coping strategies, support services, health and wellness information and activities, and legal and financial advice.

Each booth comes equipped with a 8' back wall, two 3' side walls, and a 7" x 44" identification sign.
Tables, chairs, electricity, and other booth furnishings are available at additional cost from our official decorating company.
Please note that the Exhibit Hall at the Chicago Hilton is carpeted.

Quoted from cybrsheri where can one access the Determinator? thanks!Sheri
Quoted Text From PM from suavito:You allow to insert height and weight in the metric system - which is great for us European non British folks - but you should mention that the input in meters is only allowed with a dividing dot and not a comma as it is normally done in some countries like Germany where I live.So I suggest you either print the advice "use a dividing dot you stupid german" or make a software work around which takes commas the same as dots (there won't be any hundreds of thousands in weight and height so this might not cause any confusion) if the software allows that. Or you change the input to centimeters (which would be in my case 194), so there won't be any dividing dots or commas.
Quoted from lola ...now none of us will be 'dangerously overweight'!!! )

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, | 1 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
2 "See, Ihave chosen Bezalel son of Uri from the tribe of Judah. (Uri was the son of Hur.) | 2 "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, |
3 I have filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God and have given him the skill, ability, and knowledge to do all kinds of work. | 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-- |
4 He is able to design pieces to be made from gold, silver, and bronze, | 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, |
5 to cut jewels and put them in metal, to carve wood, and to do all kinds of work. | 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. |
6 I have also chosen Oholiab son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan to work with Bezalel. I have given skills to all the craftsmen, and they will be able to make all these things I have commanded you: | 6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you: |
7 the Meeting Tent, the Ark of the Agreement, the lid that covers the Ark, and everything in the Tent. | 7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent-- |
8 This includes the table and everything on it, the pure gold lampstand and everything with it, the altar of incense, | 8 the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, |
9 the altar for burnt offerings and everything used with it, and the bowl and the stand under it. | 9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand-- |
10 They will make the woven clothes and the holy clothes for Aaron and the clothes for his sons to wear when they serve as priests. | 10 and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, |
11 They will also make the special olive oil used in appointing people and things to the service of the Lord, and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Place. "These workers will make all these things just as I have commanded you." | 11 and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you." |
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, | 12 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
13 "Tell the Israelites, 'You must keep the rules about my Sabbaths, because they will be a sign between you and me from now on. In this way you will know that I, the Lord, make you holy. | 13 "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. |
14 "'Make the Sabbath a holy day. If anyone treats the Sabbath like any other day, that person must be put to death; anyone who works on the Sabbath day must be cut off from his people. | 14 " 'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. |
15 There are six days for working, but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day holy for the Lord. Anyone who works during the Sabbath day must be put to death. | 15 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. |
16 The Israelites must remember the Sabbath day as an agreement between them and me that will continue from now on. | 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. |
17 The Sabbath day will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, because in six days I, the Lord, made the sky and the earth. On the seventh day I did not work; I rested.'" | 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' " |
18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone tablets with the Agreement written on them, written by the finger of God. | 18 When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God. |

Norah Jones wants to be your crazy ex-girlfriend. Inspired by her breakup with a mysterious ''fiction writer'' whom she refuses to name, her new album arrives with a cover that pays tribute to Russ Meyer's juicy 1965 sexploitation flick Mudhoney. (Tagline: ''Passion debased by lust...leaves a taste of evil!'') You'd think that Jones wrote these songs while imagining herself as one of Meyer's heroines, strangling men with her bare thighs.
Sadly, she's not that kind of girl. On Little Broken Hearts, she sounds like she'd rather get over bad love by popping a few Percocets and going back to bed. Still, with Brian Burton (a.k.a. Danger Mouse) producing, the heavy-lidded-vixen thing works for her here. Having collaborated with Jones on 2011's haunting ''Black,'' Burton brings a slow-sauntering vintage Franco-pop sound to Hearts, making the Starbucks-friendly singer sound much hipper. He recasts her as Jane Birkin on the cool, swinging-'60s-style ''Say Goodbye'' and lets her play the torch singer on the very sexy ''4 Broken Hearts.'' Too bad the passive, downbeat vibe sometimes just feels like a drag: So many songs find Jones gazing longingly at old photographs (as she does on ''After the Fall'') or obsessing over her ex's latest fling (''She's 22'') while the music drifts by hazily in the background. Only the menacing ballad ''Miriam'' shows real agency, with Jones informing the new girlfriend, ''I'm gonna smile when I take your life.'' Desire! Jealousy! Revenge! Maybe there's a B movie in her yet. B

Cute designs, Belle, but I'm of no help to you because I've not seen them before. Hope someone else can help. Since you've got the design, why not just paint it any colors YOU choose? You're a good painter, you can do it! You might even look at a different design with colors you like and use those colors to complete these designs. Luvs |
Luvs...I am in the process of doing just what you suggested, my big problem is that I was painting these for a manager of a local store and she found the book for me and asked me to paint them...so here I am with the patterns and no book. She has told me not to worry about doing them, but I would really like to do them for her as she has donated a lot of nice items for many raffles I have held. Kind of a "Thank You" I actually found the book listed on one site but it was "sold" half of their books are "sold"...anyway was just hoping someone here had a copy. Belle |
I Again! I am still looking for this book...any help will greatly be appreciated! |
It seems like I have seen those bottom two somewhere, but it's not in my books. Wonder if it was online somewhere. I'll keep looking. ~Anj |

At the same time that rail congestion led to the suspension of Cold Train Express Intermodal Service this summer, two new refrigerated rail services were just getting started.
In June, Minneapolis-based McKay TransCold began offering a refrigerated, dedicated boxcar unit train dubbed Transcold Express, which runs each week between Wilmington, Ill., and Selma, Calif. Meanwhile, Tiger Cool Express LLC, Overland Park, Kan., started intermodal services from multiple locations in southern California to destinations in the Midwest and East Coast in February.
Representatives for both companies said that the congestion that plagued Cold Train on BNSF's northern lines has had little effect on the southern BNSF and Union Pacific routes that their equipment travels on.
"Since we started in June, we've been ahead of schedule on our rail movements," said Jason Spafford, vice president of business development for McKay TransCold, which offers four-day service from California to Illinois.
On-time deliveries for shipments on BNSF's Northern Corridor fell from more than 90% in November to less than 5% in April due to surging more oil and coal shipments. Thomas Finkbiner, chief executive officer for Tiger Cool Express, said rail shipments of oil from North Dakota on BNSF's Northern Corridor have increased from 20,000 tank cars three years ago to more than 400,000 this year. And unlike major southern rail routes in the U.S., that northern route isn't double tracked.
"That makes it difficult for high-speed trains to keep transit times," said Finkbiner, whose company uses Union Pacific lines for the vast majority of its business.
Congestion, however, could migrate from one rail network to another as shippers and receivers look for alternatives, he said. Finkbiner said BNSF's intermodal shipments have fallen 0.5% in recent weeks, while Union Pacific traffic has increased at least 10%. So far, he said, that increase had not affected his company's schedules.
Tiger Cool launched with 200 containers, and Finkbiner said the company's goal is to expand to 2,000 containers within five years. He said the company is on pace to make $20 million in its first year of operations.
"Produce is the last long-haul, $100 billion market that intermodal hasn't penetrated," said Finkbiner, who added that more than 95% of fresh produce was delivered by truck last year in the U.S.. "Trucks will get tighter. Drivers will get harder to find. It's a migraine headache for shippers and receivers. This is an alternate long-haul capacity."

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 Salsa!
Facts about Salsa
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Salsa's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
If you are interested in viewing or adopting these kitties, please go to www.orphankittenrescue.com/adopt and fill out an application.
Hi, I'm Salsa, and I am a beauty queen. I am also hilarious. I LOVE having my belly scratched, and will come find you and flop down in front of you when I've decided it's time for you to scratch my belly. I also like to stand on my hind legs when you are preparing my food dish to show you how excited I am! Apparently doing that is "weird" or "funny," so my foster mom started timing me...the longest she's timed me doing it is 15 seconds. She was so excited. Humans!
If I fall in love with you, the depth of my smitten-ness with you has no bounds. I will want to kiss you all of the time and nuzzle you as much as possible. When you come home at the end of the day, I will run to the door to greet you. My sister Soda and I are the best of friends, and we need to always be together. We love playing with each other and sleeping next to each other. She's really shy and nervous around new people or when there are lots of noises, so I protect her. We wouldn't mind living with other cats, or even a dog (I once kind of made friends with a golden retriever! He was cute!) but not kids. I once met a couple of kids and I really didn't like them too much, plus my sister Soda was super-scared and I don't like it when she gets so scared.
My favorite thing in the world... besides my sister and my humans... definitely, paws down, hair elastics. I collect them (you can try, but good luck hiding them from me!), and store them in strange unpredictable places. Then, when I'm ready to play, I take them out and go crazy with them! I also really like grooming myself and being brushed. It's a lot of work to get long fur this soft and silky! Since I'm so meticulous I shed a lot less than you'd expect me to. I like it best when the fuzzy curlicues that grow out of my ears and between my toes are just right.
Again, if you are interested in viewing or adopting these kitties, please go to www.orphankittenrescue.com/adopt
Other Pets at Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Salsa, a Vancouver Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Vancouver, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Vancouver.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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 Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vancouver paves the way for another one to be saved.

[[Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: "What about Wednesday?" It's my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.]]
[Image by al natural]
I don't understand this obsession we have with comparing ourselves to each other. Moreover, I don't understand why those comparisons always reach such negative conclusions.
"My blog doesn't get as many comments as hers does."
"Her shoes don't go with her outfit nearly as well as mine do."
"She's prettier."
"I'm smarter."
"She's luckier."
"I'm better."
It's inevitable that, the moment you group women in their teens or twenties together, they'll start to insulate themselves by talking about other people. Then they'll further insulate themselves by talking about each other, moving into smaller and smaller groups…until there's just two or three girls, feeling insecure and acting strangely adamant that they've rated everyone else's worth – and their own – and can now be satisfied.
Okay, that last part is a lie. Living that way is never satisfying. I know, because I've done it. Hell, who hasn't?
[Image by Kyn. Lauren]
It's easy to look at someone else's accomplishments and be jealous, or to view their failures as a direct result of your being somehow better than them. But let's be honest here: what is all that comparing good for, other than praying on your own fears and making you feel less like your own person? If the majority of us spent half the time we use to compare to, instead, express ourselves organically…well, we'd see a lot more interesting personal style choices.
We'd also see a lot more artistic expression.
We'd see all of those outfits we loved, but weren't sure about wearing.
We'd see people telling their friends and aquaintences how awesome they are, instead of thinking it, jealously.
So, from now on, I'm going to care less about how I stack up and more about who I am at my core. Who cares if they whisper, if they don't comment on my posts or think my hair looks funny? The only thing those people are doing is insulating themselves, while I get to make friends with abandon and wear really crazy-looking shoes.

US Census Data Shows Three Straight Years of Over 30,000 Units Permitted
The year 2007 saw the highest number of building permits for privately-owned residential units in New York City since 1972, according to newly released data from the US Census Bureau records. With 31,918 units permitted in 2007, it was the second highest amount of permits issued since accurate records first began being kept in 1965. In two of the boroughs, the numbers were even more impressive, with Brooklyn and Queens seeing their highest ever totals.
The data shows that the pace of housing construction remains strong in New York City with thousands of new housing units being added every year. The year 2007 was the third year in a row with over 30,000 units permitted—the first time that this has happened since records began being kept—while the six years that Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has been in office represent the highest six year total ever, with 159,370 units permitted.
Shaun Donovan, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development said, "These numbers are great news, both for subsidized and non-subsidized housing alike. This historic rate of development is helping to close a housing gap that has placed significant upward pressure on the city's housing prices. In conjunction with the Mayor's 165,000 unit New Housing Marketplace Plan, these new homes will help to increase the affordability of the city's housing market while, at the same time, preparing the city for the arrival of almost one million additional New Yorkers over the next two decades."
Patricia Lancaster, FAIA, Commissioner of the NYC Buildings Department said, "Construction of new housing in New York City continues at a pace not seen in decades. With new enforcement tools and proactive inspections, we will ensure the safe construction of new housing units in the years to come as this trend continues."
The crisis of abandonment that plagued many New York neighborhoods in the 1970s and 1980s was solved by rebuilding neighborhoods, driving down crime and improving schools. Since then New York City's population has grown by nearly one million people. Unfortunately, new housing construction failed to keep pace during the 1990s. The resulting gap between housing supply and housing demand has helped to create an affordability crunch, which has thrown the housing market out of balance. Housing has become increasingly more expensive for everyone, making it harder for much of the working and middle classes—people like police officers, firefighters and teachers—to continue to live within the city. If population growth continues as projected, the city will need hundreds of thousands of more housing units over the long term to accommodate further projected increases in population.
Mayor Bloomberg has fostered a climate that encourages housing construction, including changes to the building and tax codes and an ambitious series of rezonings. Since the Mayor came to office, the City has moved to right the imbalance between population growth and housing construction. Since 2002 permits have been issued for 159,370 housing units, while the population has increased by only around 58,000 households. Continuing these kinds of surpluses is important to our efforts to close the current housing gap and prepare for the city to add another one million people over the next 25 years.
Seventy percent of the permits issued in 2007 were for units in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Thirty percent were for units in Manhattan. Since Mayor Bloomberg came to office seventy-four percent of new housing permits have been in the outer boroughs, compared to only sixty-two percent in the previous three decades. In addition, much of the new construction in the outer boroughs includes market-rate homes affordable to middle-income families.
The 2007 figures show that the number of permits issued for housing units in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens increased from 2006. Manhattan saw 9,520 permits in 2007 versus 8,790 in 2006; Brooklyn saw 10,930 permits in 2007—its highest total ever—compared to 9,191 in 2006; and Queens saw 7,625 permits in 2007—also its highest total ever—up from 7,252 in 2006. While the Bronx and Staten Island saw permit numbers decline, the Bronx still posted the fourth highest total in more than three decades.
# # #
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development's (HPD) mission is to promote quality housing and viable neighborhoods for New Yorkers. The department is the nation's largest municipal housing development agency and is implementing Mayor Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan to build and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing over ten years. The New Housing Marketplace Plan is the largest municipal affordable housing effort in the nation's history. HPD also encourages the preservation of affordable housing through education, outreach, loan programs and enforcement of housing quality standards.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Congregation for the Clergy on the Mystery of Suffering and the Saving Power of God
By Congregation for the Clergy
February 6th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Moved by human suffering, Jesus healed many who were sick and cast out unclean spirits. What the readings tell us is not just that suffering can be healed. In the second reading St Paul explains the possibility for each of us to participate in the saving work of Christ. We can truly help to combat suffering by a life dedicated to the untiring proclamation of the Gospel. VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - The first reading of the liturgy of the Word has the theme of innocent suffering through the figure of the righteous man Job, who, almost disheartened and greatly tried, raises his cry to heaven seeing the hard work and transience of his life. Job raises the deeply enigmatic question of the suffering of the just which, at the end of the passage, remains almost in suspense awaiting a response from on high. The problem reappears in the pages of the Gospel which also describes the mystery of physical suffering. There we find the figure of Peter's mother-in-law, who is ill with a fever. It is in this context that an answer is finally given by Jesus - not with a theoretical explanation, but with a gesture. Jesus did not talk to the sick woman, but comes to her, lifts her up, takes her by the hand and then, as the Scriptures tell us, "immediately the fever left her". In this way, Jesus doesn't explain human suffering. Instead he acts silently, with a physical gesture full of meaning that is rooted in the inexhaustible mystery of the Incarnation. He touches the woman, he lifts her, he takes her hand. It is a direct gesture which reveals the deep and perfect participation of Jesus in human suffering which is embodied in Peter's mother-in-law. Jesus offers the definitive answer to the question asked by Job. He participates in human suffering, He shares it, He counters it and He overcomes it. The action of Jesus is truly salvific, so much so that the people of Capernaum came crowding to Peter's door. Moved by human suffering, Jesus healed many who were sick and cast out unclean spirits. What the readings tell us, however, is not just that suffering can be healed. In the second reading St Paul explains the possibility for each of us to participate in the saving work of Christ. We can truly help to combat suffering by a life dedicated to the untiring proclamation of the Gospel. Like the Apostle, every Christian is called to work in the 'vineyard of the Lord'. We are called to work as part of the Church 'at any cost'. We do this in a particular way by asking the Lord, if it is useful for their eternal salvation, that someone's physical illnesses might be healed. We can therefore collaborate with the healing of those who have sufferings of an interior or spiritual nature. Our lives should be an example to others of holiness and faithfulness. They should challenge the world around us and show that Christians give a concrete answer to the problem of evil, even as they continue to face trials by asking for the power of the Spirit to overcome them. Suffering, even of the just, can really be transformed into a 'blessing' if it becomes the occasion for God to intervene directly into our lives. It is a blessing if it leads us to contemplate the participation and closeness of God to our existence. It is a blessing, above all, if it leads us to offer in ourselves what is still to be made up in the sufferings of Christ so that we participate in a mysterious, but real way, in the work of universal salvation. We pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who knew what it was to suffer, and particularly what it meant to suffer alongside her beloved son, that by Divine Providence we may obtain the light and strength needed to live our lives with the same faith as that of the Mother who stood by the cross.

On November 19, 1963, Robert 'Dynamite Bob' Chambliss was convicted of the murder of Carol Denise McNair in connection with the 16th street Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15 of that year. The attack claimed the lives of four little girls. The Klan member would spend the rest of his life in prison, never giving up his accomplices.
In June 1996 a truck bomb exploded in a Saudi Arabian housing complex killing 19 American airmen charged with enforcing the no-fly zone over southern Iraq. Though the FBI aggressively pursued investigation of the Iranian-sponsored terror attack, justice was ultimately thwarted by White House meddling at the highest level.
Norwegians were shaken to the core after Anders Behring Breivik went on a bombing and shooting rampage, leaving 77 of his fellow citizens dead. But he said the killings were necessary to save his homeland from an Islamic invasion.
Thomas Michael Casper, 56, was arrested after a simple noise complaint became weird and disturbing. Police believe he would follow through on threats to police and neighbors.

RL30758 - Alternative Transportation Fuels and Vehicles: Energy, Environment, and Development Issues (pdf)
Abstract: The sharp increase in petroleum prices beginning in mid-1999, experiences with tighter supply, and international instability have renewed concern about our dependence on petroleum imports. One of the strategies for reducing this dependence is to produce vehicles that run on alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel. These alternatives include alcohols, gaseous fuels, renewable fuels, electricity, and fuels derived from coal. The push to develop alternative fuels, although driven by energy security concerns, has been aided by concerns over the environment, because many alternative fuels lead to reductions in emissions of toxic chemicals, ozoneforming compounds, and other pollutants, as well as greenhouse gases.
Each fuel (and associated vehicle) has various advantages and drawbacks. The key drawback of all alternative fuels is that because of higher fuel and/or vehicle prices, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) are generally more expensive to own than conventional vehicles. And while many AFVs have superior environmental performance compared to conventional vehicles, their performance in terms of range, cargo capacity, and ease of fueling may not compare favorably with conventional vehicles. Furthermore, because there is little fueling infrastructure (as compared to gasoline and diesel fuel), fueling an AFV can be inconvenient.
Any policy to support AFVs must address the performance and cost concerns, as well as the issue of fueling infrastructure. Within this context, a �chicken and egg� dilemma stands out: The vehicles will not become popular without the fueling infrastructure, and the fueling infrastructure will not expand if there are no customers to serve.
Three key laws, the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-494), the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (P.L. 101-549), and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-486), as well as three Executive Orders, support the development and commercialization of alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. These legislative acts and administrative actions provide tax incentives to purchase AFVs, promote the expansion of alternative fueling infrastructure, and require the use of AFVs by various public and private entities.
The 108th Congress considered comprehensive energy legislation, but a final bill was not submitted to the President for signature. H.R. 6 would have promoted the development of renewable fuels, especially ethanol and hydrogen. Further, it would have provided incentives for the development and purchase of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. In addition to the energy bill, other bills were introduced to create vehicle purchase tax credits, promote research and development of fuels, and require the use of alternative fuels. It is likely that similar legislation will be introduced in the 109th Congress. [read report]

Finding the difference between pairs of multiples of 10, 100 and 1000 as well as subtracting from whole 1000s are introduced in Year 4. Children are expected to use their knowledge to rapidly subtract single digit numbers as well as taking away 2-digit numbers. Written subtraction is introduced, including crossing the tens and hundreds boundaries, in preparation for using the standard written method.
Subtracting a single digit from a 3-digit number, starting with multiples of 100.
Subtracting a single digit from a multiple of 1000. Then, moving on to subtracting two numbers just either side of the thousands boundary. They look tricky but are easy if you 'count on'.
Mental addition and subtraction of 2-digit numbers. These are about as hard as you would expect to get without using written methods.
A reminder that subtraction is the inverse of addition, and how this can be useful when working out mental calculations.
Can you say which of these are true and which are false? A quick test of the relationship between addition and subtraction and what effect zero has.
Problems in words. Not too tricky, but ask how they were done as this reveals a great deal about children's thinking.
More adding and taking away 19, 29 etc. Easy if you know how!
Using the standard method to subtract 2-digit numbers.

His budget was scoffed at by Congress and it had some nice "chocolate" in it. Surely on Hearts Day there could be some love shown, but surely it won't be. Oh, well I am sending kisses to all of the sweethearts at HT... |
Follow-Up Postings:
3.8 trillion. The largest in history. I would imagine this budget will go down about like his last years budget. The vote in the senate was 97 to 0 against it. Happy Valentines Day Richard. |
Obama's budget increaees spending by .2%. Mandatory payments to senior citizens, in the form of social security and medicare, combined with Medicaid, increase by almost 9%. mandatory is defined bylaw, not by any president. Cut entitlements. period. |

Remember his first Valentine? "today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay - and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control." Now, I know that it's not that easy to rein in a massive deficit. I'm also smart enough not to promise that I will. So, if you don't mean it, don't send out a valentine! Good day folks~ In Mr. Lew (Pinocchio) we must trust. Just look at how successful he has been (at Wall Street) and receiving $900,000 bonus after Citi bailout. :) |

He was not expecting an obstructionist congress. |
LOL...like when? If you notice my post...it says senate defeated his last one 97 to 0. Obstructionist senate as well? |
Mess what about the 9% increase in entitlements? What should he do? |
That should have read Mrs.........apologies. |
Did you really expect him to address entitlement reform? They are draining Social Security as we speak, and seem hell bent on continuing. |
I love the word reform it sounds so .....dirty! |

Republican griping about Obama's budget would seem more genuine if their leading Presidential candidates' own plans and the Congressional GOP plan (Ryan Plan) didn't actually blow the deficit worse than Obama's from what - tax cuts for the rich. Does ANYONE actually believe doubling down on Bush's tax giveaways to the wealthiest among us is the path to solvency? |

Mandatory payments to senior citizens, in the form of social security IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT!!!!! It's bought and paid for by the recipient! The only entitlement associated with Social Security is its use as a slush fund by Congress!! |

Spend, baby, spend!!! One way or another, it will end. Guaranteed. (Just think of all those jobs created when you burn down your buildings. The Kennesian/"Progressive"/Occupy solution.) "ATHENS-Greece was plunging deeper into recession at the close of last year, showing the devastation of the country's economy even before new austerity plans are implemented in the months ahead. Greece's gross domestic product contracted by an annual rate of 7% when adjusted for inflation, according to preliminary data reported by the Greek government statistics office Tuesday. The dire number was far worse than forecasts... ... The deepening of Greece's economic decline, now in its fifth year,... ... Under the agreement, Greece will slash the minimum wage in the private sector by 22%, abolish 15,000 public-sector jobs this year...(That would be equivalent to 450,000 jobs in the USA---Hay) ... With nearly one in two of those aged between 15 and 24 without a job in November, Greece's unemployment rate soared to 20.9% compared with an 18.2% rate just a month earlier. More than one million Greeks are now without jobs." ... This is just one of the ways it can end. Thing is, Greeks just might be lucky. There are worse ways. Hay |
kt, if every taxpayer in America sent their paycheck straight to Washington, it wouldn't make a dent in this deficit. You can whine all you want about the rich not paying enough taxes, but it's simply a smokescreen for the class warfare crowd. Unless something is done to stop the runaway spending, more and more will sink into poverty and the deficit will continue to rise. |
And when Bush, who inherited a budget surplus, cut massive amounts of revenue through tax cuts while starting two wars that each cost more than any war in history, along with a huge give away to the pharmaceutical industry with the borrowed money prescription drug benefit, have nothing to do with it. I'll tell you what. Return the tax rates to where they were prior to the Bush disaster, and then people will be far more likely to swallow cuts in their benefits. Not cut taxes for millionaires even further, and expect the rest of the country to lap up the BS that they're 'job creators', our new deities. |
mrskjun, I do not understand what you understand. The run away spending is the Tax cut, and Two wars all created by the Conservative President Bush. READ........When Bush took office there was a surplus. What do you not get about that fact. When he left we were in a deficit. NEXT.......READ.......As an example. NOW THE GOVERNMENT.... Do you understand yet? That is what the taxes are for. What part of this do you not understand? There is no class warfare here. It is a talking point Faux News has told you and you believe it and repeat it like a parrot. It is simple add and subtraction issue. I wish Conservatives would use their minds and read. Subtract the tax = losing your job and there is no money to pay the bills. These are not all bills that were made under President Obama. It is bills the previous administration promised to pay but with what money? TAXES that they are not collecting. As far as entitlement yes. I am entitled to SS. They have taken several thousands of dollar out of my paycheck for Social Security. If they had invested this money just as I have done with my 401K and my other funds that I invested in property, they could easily give me my little SS check and send the extra to 2 other people. But instead of putting the SS funds in a separate account it has been used to start pretend wars looking for WMD that did not exist. Pay high Congress salaries, and give them the best health care and retirement than the people they serve. My vote is that every Congressman, Senator are placed in the Same Social Security and Health System pool the rest of us have to deal with and then you will see real quick how they change their mind about it being an entitlement. |

Jerzee...this president is good at one thing. Excuses. |
Guess what marquest, one of those wars is over. Where's the money? And believe it or not, it's people with jobs that pay taxes. Not people who are sliding every day into poverty living on government benefits. Obama's tax cut ok with you? Out of Social Security? If taxes pay the bills, how bout the government stop making more and more bills for the taxes to pay. So the Bush tax cuts expire on the wealthiest Americans. Guess what, that totals 70.9 MILLION dollars a years. The interest on the national debt alone was 196 BILLION, last year. So if you think this is anything but a class warfare gimmick, I'll sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. And yes, George Bush was a lousy president, and he drove up the deficit. And Obama has driven it up twice as fast, and with a 3.8 Trillion dollar budget this year, the sky is the limit. Tell me what he has done to get spending under control? |
The deficit drove up the deficit.....and that's the facts. As I understand it the interest on the existing debt is the largest contributor to the mounting deficit. Or maybe it's defense spending , that and social benefits ( Bill we don't call them entitlements here:-) , so tell me whet you think the cuts should come from Mrs. Interesting that the Republicans are now saying the retention of the payroll tax is not dependent upon paying for it......just add it to the deficit I suppose. They are also against the DOD cuts insisted upon by the President. |
If we REALLY want to cut spending - it needs to come from the military budget. |
So the Bush tax cuts expire on the wealthiest Americans. Guess what, that totals 70.9 MILLION dollars a years [sic] you can't be serious if you expect anyone to believe that. |
According to MSN money. "Those numbers, however, don't include additional tax revenue from letting Bush era tax cuts for the wealthy expire at the end of 2012. Letting those tax cuts expire would generate an additional $709 billion over the next decade, according to the budget proposal." I see I did write million...supposed to be billion. 70.9 billion per year. Nothing in Obama world. He threw 6 times that much away on Solyndra alone. So tell me how this would fix our deficit problems? |
Oh, so 709 billion over ten years. What was the cost of the Iraq war? What was the cost of the Afghanistan war? What was the whallop on the deficit from the tax cuts, for the 10 years its been in effect - the same amount? What is the 10 yr cost of the medicare drug benefit? He threw 6 times that much away on Solyndra alone Nice try at a diversion, there, but nobody is biting. Repeal the tax cuts, then lets talk about what the rest of our shared sacrifice will be. Cutting medicare, cutting medicaid, cutting school loans, national parks, food stamps, road and infrastructure development, medical research, health care, all that. |

What was the cost of the Iraq war? What was the cost of the Afghanistan war? Oh, I know! Ask me! Ask me! More than a thousand billion dollars! |
But no one who voted for Bush wants any of that responsibility to pay for it. Keep that in mind the next time some 'conservative' capital gains/carried interest/ 15% tax rate 'job creator' starts talking about 'personal responsibility' |
- Posted by brushworks Zone5-Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 16:07
And we're still spending money in Iraq, Afghanistan, and myriads of other places. The bleeding will not stop! We are spending billions staging our troops in Kuwait. Never mind the war, hell the preparations will break us. Is our presence around Iran free? I know..we already had the ships, why not use them. LOL |
Solyndra got 6X 709 billion? Nds three is no decimal point..... it's 709 billion |
Lets keep in mind that the only candidate who talks about reining this monstrosity in is Ron Paul. Everyone else is so firmly in the grip of the military/industrial/congressional/money pit that they all want more of the same. |
Bush took a budget surplus and ran it into a deficit. He started two wars and finished none. Those wars cost Trillions. Bush's prescription drug benefit added to the Deficit more than Obamacare has. Surely you Republican Bush voters now turned fiscal debt hawks agree. The national debt has built up over a long period. It cannot be paid off or even substantially paid down while the economy is not strong. Trying to gut social programs like SS, Medicare and unemployment would risk complete economic collapse and a prolonged Depression. Draconian austerity at this point will end up badly as it has in Europe. Look at the incendiary pictures hayseed posts here every day As far as Social Security, these Republicans need to keep their greasy hands off of it. We take care of our own in this country, always have and always will. Ryan and Romney and others who seek to privatize SS can go to he11. Read some history and you will discover why Social Security was started in this country. It was meant to address growing and unacceptable levels of poverty among the elderly. The program has been tremendously successful for decades at doing that and we are not going to dismantle it now. Read about why we created Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor. The facts is that private health insurance system does not work for older individuals, poor people and those who have preexisting illness. Are you GOPers foolish enough to believe that you can try to take down the social safety net while protecting the 1% and allowing corporations to run roughshod over workers, our environment, and our country? Do you really believe that the American people are going to sit back and allow that agenda? We need to grow this economy to pay our bills. We cannot do that by providing the Romney Class with more tax breaks and hoping they will trinkle on us some day. Doubling down on fossil fuels is another mistake. The big oil and coal companies are the same corporations that are sucking our wallets dry every day while controlling the political discourse. As far as Obama's budget it is a guideline, never meant as legislation that would be passed as written. The vote and all the GOPer hyperbole about that vote is merely an exercise in partisan wizeazz that is anything but helpful. Worse yet, it is designed to drive a stake into the heart of positive growth, consumer confidence, and any sensible plans to move us forward. That's why we need to drum out the Republicans. Enough is enough with all of your negativity, obstructionism, false outrage about social issues, scare tactics, and reactionary garbage. |
The "Job Creators" only create jobs to make money. Tax em' like Ike did at 90% (I'll be more generous at 50%) and then they will "create jobs" to make up for the money they lost in taxes. They don't create jobs just out of the kindness of their hearts, they want mo' money. Sitting on a pile of money ain't gonna create jobs, though using some of that taxed money for road and bridge repairs will, and it'll be spent right here. Tax em' they'll make more god bless em', use their addiction to the nation's advantage like Ike did. Light a fire under em' |

Wow, Imagine someone being self employed or owning a small business to make money. How nasty of them! |
It's ok if they make money and send it to Washington brush. Don't you know? Obama spends it so well!!! |
Got no problem with "small" businesses, they get a pass if their profits are less than say 500K annually (Obama is being too generous at 30% tax on millionaires). It's the Romney types that just sit on their butts and their 100's of millions not doing anything at all to "create jobs", living off the interest, dividends, and stock sales of old money paying 13.9% in taxes. It's a crock to say that this stale stagnant money that sits in overseas accounts is doing the US economy any good in creating jobs, it's doing only good for Romney. Make Romney a 50%er to spark a fire under his lazy butt to actually create jobs and make real money for a change. It worked well in the 1950's. When people have so much money that they can buy politicians, elections, and bills/laws that suit their fancy then they have TOO MUCH money and way too much POWER! |

Ford Mustang Cobra Jet wheelies with abandon
Yes, that is a Ford Mustang Cobra Jet with its nose pointed toward the stars and its rear valance on the ground. Marvel at that image while you can, because the car doesn't maintain that posture for long. Once the front tires re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, the situation goes muddy quickly. There's a bounce or two, some sideways action and a few brief concrete kisses before the party comes to a complete stop. Anyone who says drag racing is boring clearly hasn't watched someone ping-pong their purpose-built factory drag car down the quarter mile.
Word has it the driver of this particular pony-shaped pinball walked away from the incident without injury, though we imagine it was a minute or two before his car crawled up to the Christmas tree once again. Check out the video below for a look at the show for yourself.

This photo features Rico Rodriguez and Nolan Gould of Modern Family playing dolls with their SAG Awards statuettes. Awww. Kids use their prestigious industry accolades as dolls to have a doll fight during the step-and-repeat post-ceremony photoshoots the darndest things! Yup, just a couple of kids being super normal kids wearing suits and ties and receiving awards for the network sitcom they star in for more money than any of us make. You know, kids stuff. They deserve it, though. They're good enough on that show, which itself is good enough, I guess. And until America returns to its place at the forefront of child replicant technologies (stupid #1 China) we just don't have the software to make a believable enough child replicant to star in our sitcoms, so some kid has to put on the makeup. Congrats, you two! And goofing around suggests that maybe they are still human children after all. But the real question is WHAT ARE THE SAG STATUETTES THINKING?! (I'm sure that's the real question. We were all asking it. In our heads. Which are normal.)
Winner will receive special placement in this week's Monsters' Ball, an achievement that Rico Rodriguez and Nolan Gould probably unlocked when they were 8-months-old. (Image via BuzzFeed.)
I see your Swaward is as big as mine.
"As shameless men with no genitalia and two faces, Congress is the natural next step."
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then… Oh, wait, nevermind. Just two.

No, fortunately, I have not gone with the wind, but I have not had time to make new creations.
The reason to this is that it is time for exams at the University, so I have been very busy preparing for my exams. I will be busy until the summer, but hopefully I will find time not only to use my head, but also my hands, so I can make new creations.
My latest creation is this little piece with a dancing couple.
It is just a way of getting started again.
I have decorated the background with paper from and old book and some brown paper with white flowers on. Then I added laces, buttons and a little angel.
With this creation I will participate in the following challenges:
The creation
A little lace around the edge
The picture of the dancing couple
A little angel
A button in the corner of the picture
I want to say welcome and thank you to my new followers.
I feel very honoured that you want to join me here.
Have a nice week all of you!

Street crime -- such as prostitution, drug offenses and disorderly conduct -- is more prevalent on Tukwila International Boulevard than in other parts of the city. The Tukwila Police Department reopened its Neighborhood Resource Center in the area, and has a team of five officers to work with businesses and residents to deter illegal activity.

Buford, the one-person Wyoming town, sells for $900,000
Welcome to Buford, and the American dream. |
Sammons is ready to retire, he told me; he was thinking of some beachfront property. (The bookshelf in the three-bedroom house -- a remodeled double-wide -- included a book on how to retire in Mexico or Costa Rica.) In the meantime, he'd bought a new place an hour south, in Windsor, Colorado.
The people eying his property ranged from a Wyoming man now living in Maine whose wife wanted to open a karate school, a pair from Denver who thought the old schoolhouse might make a good bar (too small, they decided). And two mysterious young men, hats pulled low against the wind, man-bags making it very clear they weren't from Wyoming.
The auction, which included online bidders from 46 countries as well as dozens gathered in the parking lot, started at noon and $100,000 and ended eleven minutes and $900,000 later. One of the man-bag bidders, a native of Vietnam who declined to be identified or interviewed, had won the prize. "Owning a piece of property in the U.S. has been my dream," he said in a statement handed out by the auction house.
A very windy, dusty piece of the American dream.
Hope he can find a perky cashier.
