Can technology help my son with dyslexia?
Recently, after a series of tests, our 8 year old son was diagnosed with the developmental reading disorder, dyslexia.
In many ways, this diagnosis was a relief after months (and years) of confusion and frustration stemming from my son's difficulties with reading and writing. Through our research we found ourselves presented with many ways to help our son compensate for his disorder, including many technological solutions.
Guess who's pretty excited be the technology blogger for Real Simple Magazine?
Over the next couple of months, my son and I will be testing several technological solutions – including hardware, software, and apps – with the goal of determining if technology can help with his dyslexia.
In the book "An Introduction to Dyslexia for Parents and Professionals" author Alan Hultquist recommends allowing students to use a laptop computer or portable word processor such as an Alphasmart for notetaking. We received an Alphasmart (now called a Neo) from the manufacturer and through our testing over the last several weeks identified the following pros:
- Price – At $169, the NEO Alphasmart is certainly more affordable than a laptop or netbook.
- Consistency – Our son had been using an Alphasmart word processor in class, so it seemed like a good idea to use the same technology at home.
- Simplicity – Designed very much like the word processors I grew up with, there are no games, videos or color to distract from our mission of writing.
- Portability – The unit is very light and can be carried in his backpack without adding much weight.
- Spellcheck – For some reason, our son takes it better when Neo tells him the words are spelled wrong (instead of me).
- Battery life – With 3 alkaline batteries the unit will last up to 700 hours.
Our son and 5-year old daughter each tried the Neo and it worked pretty well. I think the kids could benefit from a smaller keyboard, and an improved save functionality. They both enjoyed watching their words being sent from the Neo to the laptop (plugging it in with the included USB cable turned the Neo into an auxiliary keyboard. Clicking "Send" made the words appear within my wordprocessing program as if typed by invisible hands.)
We are a little sad to be returning the Neo after our test, but I'm not sure if we'll replace it at this point. The price, while affordable, feels a little steep for a piece of technology that does just one thing. But it will certainly be on our short list of solutions.
Have you tried a tech solution for a learning disability?

MILK is an autonomous exposition space in Amsterdam, connecting young contemporary artists with the public.
Since May 2014 MILK has opened the doors of a formal brothel in Amsterdam's red light district. It is now an artist-in-residency providing studios and exhibition spaces.
I am currently making the installation Wild Things, a paper garden inspired on the wild flowers found in this area. Plants, in their own way showing off their beauty and daring the visitors to look, admire and stand still. A green oasis popping up between the red lights, let's go wild...

PROVIDENCE — The commission that controls the land freed up by the relocation of Route 195 expects to start a "formal foray" into the real estate market in the first quarter of 2014.
But actual buildings won't start going up on the prime real estate, seen as a spur to the Rhode Island economy, until sometime after the start of formal sales pitches.
With that in mind, the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission has decided to entertain proposals for "interim use" of the more than 40 acres opened by the highway's removal. The commission will issue "a call for creativity" — that goes beyond ideas for temporary art installations — to "excite" the vacant land, said Jan Brodie, the commission's executive director.
Brodie did not elaborate on the proposal announced Wednesday during a commission media event held to discuss aspects of its marketing plan.
Among those aspects was the formal unveiling of a name for the land.
Commission Chairman Colin Kane said the land has been dubbed "The Link" because it will rejoin sections of the city torn apart about 50 years ago by the highway's construction, and connect the city's old and new industries.
The Link's 17 parcels mostly fall within a loosely defined area of Providence sometimes referred to as the Knowledge District, itself an allusion to the health-care and high-tech companies city and state officials hope to attract. The area had been known as the Jewelry District for the jewelry factories that once operated there.
The mile-long ribbon of land can support 3 million square feet of mixed-use space, Kane noted. Some of that ground will be turned into public parks, sidewalks and streets reconnecting parts of the city once cut in half by the highway.
Construction workers have been busy in the last several months rearranging utility lines and installing other subterranean infrastructure.
While temporary installations may be the first things there visible above ground, work should begin on two public parks — one on each side of the Providence River — in 2015, Brodie said. Work on the pedestrian bridge that will connect them is projected to begin in 2016.

A group of Mayo Clinic researchers has found that almost 15 percent of otherwise normal school-aged children in Rochester, Minnesota, are suffering from Written Language Disorder. According to Dr. Slavica K. Katusic, while Written Language Disorder, or WLD, does not pose as great a threat as the H1N1 virus, it's actually just as common in school children as reading problems, with boys twice as likely as girls to be symptomatic.
Teachers and editors have long suspected that some people write better than others, and critics typically treat writing they don't like as diseased. But bad writing wasn't recognized by the medical profession as pathological until 1994, when the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, defined the syndrome, and psychiatrists suddenly began seeing it in many of their patients.
According to the DSM IV, Written Language Disorder typically involves problems with handwriting (dysgraphia), capitalization and punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, word usage, sentence and paragraph structure, production (inability to write a lot), overall quality, and lack of fluency—but only if such difficulties are not attributable to any other mental or physical conditions.
While there is co-morbidity with other learning syndromes such as reading or mathematics disorder, Written Language Disorder is not to be confused with ADHD, depression, mental retardation, or in the case of nonanglophones, first-language interference. In the Rochester sample population studied by Katusic and her team, 25% of WLD patients have no other disorders or symptoms. They just write poorly.
Bad writing is now a medical condition, according to DSM-IV and researchers at the Mayo Clinic
WLD can be detected as early as the second grade, when otherwise normal children start exhibiting writing skills that are significantly below what can be expected for their age, intelligence, and level of education. Adult onset WLD, which manifests as early as graduate school, tends to be more common in the early tenure-track years and is either a side-effect of giving up cigarettes or the result of blunt-force head trauma.
Until now, the etiology of Written Language Disorder has not been entirely clear. Maslow described a cycle of blame in which employers blamed the poor writing of their employees on bad freshman composition teaching. In turn, college writing teachers blamed writing deficiencies on the high schools, while high schools attributed them to problems with middle schools, kindergarten teachers blamed preschools, and preschools blamed the parents of the 15% of their pre-K children who are literary underachievers.
Now we have medical proof that no one is to blame for bad writing but the writers themselves. It's not their nurture that causes Written Language Disorder, it's their nature.
There is currently no pill for WLD. Ritalin and Adderall are known to have adverse effects on syntax and fluency, and while Montana State University researcher Dr. Douglas Downs has had some promising early results with Writealin, high doses of that drug are known to induce hypotaxis in laboratory rats.
Instead, Written Language Disorder is treated symptomatically with a variety of palliative measures, including WLD support groups, called writers' workshops, which have been popping up ever since articles on Dr. Katusic's research appeared in Forbes and Reuters, and it's rumored that Oprah Winfrey is planning to talk with a group of high-functioning Written Language Disorder patients on her popular daytime television show.
Now that the public is becoming more aware of Written Language Disorder, most health plans will agree to pay for approved diagnosis, for example the Test of Written English and the SAT (or ACT with writing), and approved treatments, including transcendental meditation, herbal tea, and syntactic realignment sessions if conducted by certified writing therapists.
Sean Connery, who regularly raises money by holding the Sean's Kids telethon for the Written Language Disorder Society, takes writing therapists for $200 on an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy
Experience shows that WLD sufferers benefit most from remediation that treats writing as a process. Some medical professionals recommend that WLD children use computers rather than pens or pencils. If that doesn't work, then scribes may be provided to transcribe the writer's words (older students and adults can move directly to speech-to-text computer programs, unless they can pay for their own scribe). As a last resort, students might be given preferential seating in the classroom.
With the ban on stem cell research now lifted, researchers hope eventually to develop gene therapies to slow the progress of writing deterioration, if not to halt or reverse it. But that will take years if not decades and unfortunately, for now, the prognosis for WLD sufferers is not good. The website of a leading British psychiatric association offers this pessimistic assessment of long-term survival rates: "Although educators attempt to intervene, there is no proven effective treatment for the disorder of written expression."
Your article on Written Language Disorder is informative and entertaining, but an April 1st publication date might have been more appropriate. If the pharmaceutical companies ever find out about this new disorder, it may very well spark an explosion of research and publication on potential (and profitable) chemical solutions.
There is truly an excuse for everything, isn't there? I teach expository writing at the college level and I teach the process without accepting excuses. And guess what? My students learn! Almost all of them do better and better as the semester progresses. If we start teaching to this new 'disablity,' then the results will be no better than we expect, will they? However, if students don't know they can't learn, they seem to learn very well!

We just got back from a few days away, for Spring break. We went to the Olympic Peninsula. Our entire purpose was to rest. Though I'm pretty sure my kiddos missed that memo, as well as my immune system, while I fought off a nasty head and chest bug. Don't get me wrong, we had a ton of great moments and made some unforgettable memories but we also had some intense conversations about life and what God's plans are for our future. If I'm being totally raw and honest (and I always try to be) I'd admit that the whole vacation was a bit different than I thought it would be. (Aren't they always? We can laugh in hindsight, right?) As I finish laundry and put suitcases back into the garage I've been pondering some things from our trip and wanted to share in case it might encourage you.
I'm the proud mother of the most amazing just-turned-teen boy. He has Asperger's and it tends to make our vacations and really any variation from the normal routine a bit more...challenging. No matter how much structure I build into it, or how much we prepare him, there are inevitable hurdles to coach him over.
That said, he's very into birds, bird facts, bird information, bird photos and bird trivia. One thing he was looking forward to with this trip, was viewing an Eagle's nest that was supposed to be visible from the windows of our vacation spot. Unfortunately the Eagles didn't know my son was coming and expecting to see them, and decided to abandon their nest this year. After some disappointment, my son discovered a very active hummingbird feeder and that was it for him. If I didn't know where he was, I could simply look out the window and see him standing frozen, underneath the hummingbird feeder, dressed in red, absorbing these tiny bird's constant activity. He took my camera out at one point and shot dozens of great photos of these amazing little birds.
I sat upstairs, watching about seven of these birds come and go. Over the course of the week, I noticed that the feeder went from full to nearly empty. I'm not going to lie, these birds had become a mainstay of our vacation at this point, and when my son announced the status of the low nectar in the feeder, I experienced a weird moment of mama panic. The birds didn't seem one bit concerned with the lowering nectar line and I'm not sure how to explain it other than I was worried that if all these hummingbirds were depending on this one feeder, and the one person that filled it for them, and it went empty- what would they do? What if the owner of the vacation home forgot to refill it?! These hummingbirds were counting on a person to take care of them! And I know people are flaky and often forgetful. I worried for a few minutes and then God brought that precious life-line verse to my heart and mind; "If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds." (Matthew 6:25-26 The Message.)
Hmm. After I had that reminder, I realized that I was worrying about these birds because deep down I was worrying about my future. Who was going to remember to take care of us? What if God forgot about how dependent we are on His care? As the truth of that verse sunk in, tears sprang to my eyes and His love seeped into my heart. He promises that we count far more to Him than birds... even these precious little hummingbirds that basically "saved" our vacation. I'm betting that God specifically planned for those hummingbirds to make a regular appearance just for my heart.
How about you. Are you worrying about something and forgetting that you count far more than birds?

(Posted on 10/16/14)
- Kids LOVED these for 5 minutes Review by melissa wright
Price Value Quality Whatever happened to the old "Skip Its" of the 80' s??? Those lasted at least a year if not longer! These 'Ball Hop ll were
1) difficult to assemble....even the men gave up. ( i took them home and used a pair of channel lock pliers to get the 'plug' inserted.)
2) after i sssembled them, Th e kids LOVED skipping/hopping over them but they quickly fell apart at the seams! 3) I am goingto Duct Tape the seams together hoping they will last for our Jump Rope For Heart event in two weeks. 4) The GOOD thing about these is the US games catalog will replace them!(Posted on 1/31/14)
- Difficult to assemble Review by melissa
Price Value Quality The men had a very difficult time attaching the pinch connector. They gave up. I went home and used my 'Channel Lock Pliers' which made it a little easier. I got it done. They LOOK more durable than the 'Stick Type Skip Its' I bought a few years ago for some students who had a hard time jump roping, the idea was great BUT THEY came apart too easily detaching from the vinyl rope. WHY cant you make the type of skip it we find at the toy store! Those I remember hold up forever!

inBloom Inc. Launches to Enable Personalized Learning Through Easier Access to Information and Technology
New nonprofit organization is working with nine states representing more than 11 million students, with support from a wide range of education technology companies.
Today the Shared Learning Collaborative (SLC) announced the launch of inBloom Inc., a nonprofit provider of technology services aimed at connecting data, applications and people that work together to create better opportunities for students and educators.
Currently, school districts are racing to adapt materials and assessments for the Common Core State Standards, and publishers are working to keep up with new academic requirements. At the same time, educators are being inundated with an escalating amount of data and technology in multiple formats, creating a disjointed system that makes it extremely hard for teachers to tailor instruction, curriculum and learning approaches to meet the needs and aspirations of individual learners.
"Education technology and data need to work better together to fulfill their potential for students and teachers," said Iwan Streichenberger, CEO of inBloom Inc. "Until now, tackling this problem has often been too expensive for states and districts, but inBloom is easing that burden and ushering in a new era of personalized learning."
The inBloom™ data integration and content search services enrich learning applications by connecting them to systems and information that currently live in a variety of different places and formats while helping to reduce costs for states and districts. This comprehensive view into each student's history can help those involved in education — from teachers to administrators to parents — see students' progress, gain insights into how they might do better and act quickly to help each student succeed. It also helps educators locate standards-aligned instructional resources from multiple providers and match them with their students' needs.
"inBloom lets us compile and access assessment data from more than a dozen different systems," said Tom Stella, assistant superintendent of schools, Everett, Mass. "This information, paired with relevant content that maps to a student's individual needs, helps maximize a teacher's time and a student's learning potential by letting them focus on in-class teaching and learning."
In addition, the inBloom framework enables technology providers to develop and deploy products without having to build custom connections to each state and district data source. This means more developers will have the opportunity to create new and powerful applications to benefit students, with lower implementation costs and faster time-to-market.
Twenty-one education technology companies have already announced plans to develop applications that will work with inBloom through the service's open application programming interface (API). Many of these applications will be demonstrated at SXSWedu in Austin, Texas, March 4–7.
Nine states, representing more than 11 million students, are participating in the development and pilot testing of the inBloom technology services to ensure they meet the needs of states, districts, teachers and students. They include Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina. Five states have already selected districts to be part of the pilot testing: Jefferson County Public Schools, Colorado; McLean County Unit District No. 5 (Normal) and Bloomington Public Schools District 87 (Bloomington), Illinois; Everett Public Schools, Massachusetts; New York City Department of Education, New York; and Guilford County Schools, North Carolina.
Student data privacy is a top priority for inBloom, and protections for student privacy, including compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), have been addressed throughout the design and ongoing operations of the services. InBloom worked with its pilot states and districts and a panel of student privacy and security experts to create the policy that governs its handling of sensitive data.
About the Shared Learning Collaborative
The Shared Learning Collaborative is an alliance of states, districts, educators, foundations and content and tool providers passionate about using technology to improve education. The SLC developed all the inBloom software components and has worked with education technology companies and developers to encourage the development of inBloom-compatible applications.
About inBloom Inc.
inBloom Inc. is a nonprofit organization established to carry forward the mission of the Shared Learning Collaborative, which is to work to make personalized learning a reality for every U.S. student. inBloom provides technology services that allow states and public school districts to better integrate student data and learning applications to support sustainable, cost-effective personalized learning. inBloom is funded with initial philanthropic support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York. For more information about inBloom, visit www.inBloom.org.

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 Maya!
Facts about Maya
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Maya's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi my names Maya and I am a sweet and tiny chihuahua who loves to be in someones lap. I do growl sometimes when playing and I don't give things up easy. Also keep in mind that I work best in a home with kids 14 years and older. So if you want to be my furever family/home keep these things in mind and come meet me!
Other Pets at Chula Vista Animal Care Facility (public)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maya, a Chula Vista Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chula Vista, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chula Vista.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chula Vista 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 Chula Vista 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chula Vista paves the way for another one to be saved.

When we discuss the great quarterbacks of our time, we're always discussing Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. A quarterback discussion of any kind is not possible without those two, and five years after their respective retirements, we'll be having the same discussion.
Eras and legacies are grandiose and impossible to define, yet we try anyway, and we do it through comparisons. We do that because a player can best prove himself when being compared to his most skilled peers. Years from now it'll be fun to have this exact same conversation with the other two young arms pitted against each other in the NFC half of championship Sunday. But right now with the 15th Tom Brady-Peyton Manning meeting upon us in the AFC, that's where the focus lies.
About that history: it's flooded with many a Manning tear.
Of the previous 14 meetings, Brady's Patriots have won 10 times. But although all that matters is scoring more points than the other guy, pummeling has been infrequent for either quarterback lately. Looking back on the last seven meetings, six of them have been decided by a touchdown or less, and the average margin of victory has been 3.6. Overall the Patriots have scored 30.0 points per game, and the Colts/Broncos have scored 24.6. It seems good quarterbacks give is good games that make us feel good all over.
Those good vibes were certainly present earlier this year in Week 12, Wes Welker's return to New England. When Patriots running backs neglected the simple skill of holding on to the a football while fumbling three times, the Broncos scored three touchdowns in the first half, and entered halftime leading 17-0. That brought out rage Brady, who then passed for 163 yards in the third quarter, leading his offense to four unanswered touchdowns, and an eventual 34-31 overtime win.
That game made me dizzy, and gave me even less faith in the Broncos defense, and their ability to slow the Brady train. Yes, Brady doesn't have Rob Gronkowski, and he did in that game. But in Week 12, the Broncos had Von Miller and Chris Harris, two massive absences in their defense this time around. Yet even with those two, they still gave up 344 yards and three touchdowns to Brady. From Vince Wilfork to Jerod Mayo and Brandon Spikes, the Pats have their own defensive breaks and rips too.
What we can glean from Manning-Brady in 2013-14 then points to the likelihood of a game this Sunday where one quarterback will be given a loss, yet he'll lose the game while standing on the sideline and watching helplessly. Going further back and doing some time traveling with a stop at Florida the other 13 meetings, we find equal doses of development, disappointment, and heroism.
Let's take that journey then, and see what we can see.
(Disclaimer: like others who have taken a similar historical trip, we're all aware here that Manning plays on a different team now, one with different offensive weapons, different backfield and defensive support, and one with an entirely different name. Everything is different, but on a simple yet fundamental level, in a playoff game the quarterback still needs to complete passes, avoid turnovers, and advance his offense regardless of who is catching the ball.)
2001: Week 3
Final score: Colts 44, Patriots 13
Manning's line: 20/34, 196 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions
Brady's line: 13/23, 168 yards, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- After now famously taking over for Drew Bledsoe, this was Brady's first start.
- It wasn't at all even a little bit close, with Manning retreating to his sideline in the fourth quarter, and Brady's longest completion to a wide receiver went for just 17 yards.
2001: Week 6
Final score: Patriots 38, Colts 17
Manning's line: 22/34, 335 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions
Brady's line: 16/20, 202 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- The Patriots' thumping was paced by three unanswered touchdowns in the second quarter, with the score 28-6 at halftime.
- While deep passing was mostly absent in the first game, this one featured a 68-yard bomb to Marvin Harrison, while Brady connected on a 91-yarder to David Patten.
2003: Week 13
Final score: Colts 38, Patriots 34
Manning's line: 29/48, 278 yards, four touchdowns, one interception
Brady's line: 26/35, 236 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Through their first three games against each other, only one quarterback passed for over 300 yards.
- Yet again there was a lack of deep passing for Brady. If we exclude a 31-yard completion to Dedric Ward, his longest connection went for 16 yards.
2003 AFC Championship
Final score: Patriots 24, Colts 14
Manning's line: 23/47, 237 yards, one touchdown, four interceptions
Brady's line: 22/37, 237 yards, one touchdown, one interception
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Of Manning's four interceptions, two of them cam deep in New England territory. One was caught in the end zone, and one at the Pats' 11 yard-line.
- Deep passing didn't happen much (yep, again). Brady and Manning combined for 45 completions, and only three went for over 20 yards.
- Both quarterbacks averaged less than 6.5 yards per pass attempt, with Manning falling to 5.0.
2004: Week 1
Final score: Colts 27, Patriots 24
Manning's line: 16/29, 256 yards, two touchdowns, on interception
Brady's line: 26/38, 335 yards, three touchdowns, one interception
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Manning threw three +40 yard passes.
- Brady spread the love nicely, with three of his receivers (Patten, Deion Branch, and David Givens) finishing with more than 80 receiving yards.
2004: Divisional Round
Final score: Patriots 20, Colts 3
Manning's line: 27/42, 238 yards, zero touchdowns, one interception
Brady's line: 18/27, 144 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- The score was 6-3 at halftime in a game where winning apparently wasn't a thing either team wanted to do.
- A Colts offense that led the league in 2004 with an average of 32.6 points per game scored three points. Three.
- Brady was generous again, distributing the ball to 10 receivers. His leading receiver? David Givens with all of 26 yards.
2005: Week 9
Final score: Colts 40, Patriots 21
Manning's line: 28/37, 321 yards, three touchdowns, one interception
Brady's line: 22/33, 265 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne finished with over 120 receiving yards.
- The Colts held their lead early, entering halftime up 21-7.
2006: Week 9
Final score: Colts 27, Patriots 20
Manning's line: 20/36, 326 yards, two touchdowns, one interception
Brady's line: 22/35, 201 yards, zero touchdowns, four interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- This was easily Brady's worst game against Manning. A third of his interceptions with Manning watching came on just this day.
- With his 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Harrison had nearly 100 more yards than any Patriots pass catcher (Benjamin Watson led with 54).
2006 AFC Championship
Final score: Colts 38, Patriots 34
Manning's line: 27/47, 349 yards, one touchdown, one interception
Brady's line: 21/34, 232 yards, one touchdown, one interception
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- In the only time he's been able to out duel Brady during a playoff shootout, Manning led what Colts fans later dubbed "The drive", an 80-yard push down the field with only 2:17 left that ended in a one-yard game-winning touchdown from Joseph Addai.
- Needing a touchdown of his own with 54 seconds left and two timeouts, Brady was forced to press, which resulted in an interception.
2007: Week 9
Final score: Patriots 24, Colts 20
Manning's line: 16/27, 225 yards, one touchdown, one interception
Brady's line: 21/32, 255 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- This was an odd game, and the proverbial tale of two halves. In the first half the Colts' offense outgained New England 229-114, but then after Brady and Bill Belichick did their usual halftime adjusting, Indy trailed in second-half yardage 228-100
2009: Week 10
Final score: Colts 35, Patriots 34
Manning's line: 29/44, 327 yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions
Brady's line: 29/42, 375 yards, three touchdowns, one interception
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Of the 14 Brady-Manning games, there's been four shootouts when both teams had at least 30 points. But up to this point in 2009 through 10 games, both quarterbacks hadn't yet passed for over 300 yards on the same Sunday.
2010: Week 11
Final score: Patriots 31, Colts 28
Manning's line: 38/52, 396 yards, four touchdowns, three interceptions
Brady's line: 19/25, 196 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- The Colts' run/pass split resembled that of a team quarterbacked by Peyton Manning even more so than usual. This game represents Manning's highest single-game pass attempt total in the entire series, and Indianapolis only ran 20 times, a gap that was the product of a 17-point second-half deficit.
- Manning nearly sprinkled his hero dust on this game to overcome that hole. But alas, a second-half surge highlighted by two touchdowns fell short when he was intercepted with 31 seconds left. Manning had advanced his offense to the Patriots' 24-yard line, well within field goal range for Adam Vinatieri, but he was gunning for the regulation win.
2012: Week 5
Final score: Patriots 31, Broncos 21
Manning's line: 31/44, 337 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions
Brady's line: 23/31, 223 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions
Other numbers/notes of interest:
- Like the previous meeting directly above, this game could have — and maybe should have — been a lot worse. At one point late in the third quarter the Pats were up 31-7, but then with the support of a defense that forced two fumbles in the fourth quarter and sacked Brady three times, Manning brought his offense to within 10.
- No game ever rests on one, single play or misplay. But after they had just scored, a drop by Willis McGahee on fourth and one at midfield was pretty painful.

Bob Barker to be Inducted Into NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame
Washington - Nov 2, 2007 - Bob Barker, retired host of the CBS game show The Price is Right, will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the NAB Show Television Luncheon on April 14 during NAB2008. Barker retired from The Price is Right in June 2007 after 35 years as the show's host. Named the "greatest game show of all time" by TV Guide, the series is the longest running game show in TV history and has been one of the highest-rated daytime shows during Barker's reign.
In addition to receiving the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award for Daytime Television, Barker has won a total of 19 Emmy awards, including 14 as TV host, more than any other performer.
Barker attended school at Drury College, where he first took a job at a local radio station to help finance his studies as an economics major. After graduating summa cum laude, Barker worked for a radio station in Palm Beach before hosting his own radio program, The Bob Barker Show, in Los Angeles. The show's success led to a job as host of the popular TV show, Truth or Consequences, which Barker hosted for 18 years.
Previous NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame television inductees include NBC's Meet the Press, Regis Philbin, The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, Ted Koppel, MASH, 60 Minutes, The Today Show and Star Trek, among others.

Place has been out for a couple weeks and we've been getting some really nice press. Here's a rundown of what's been said so far:
"Cleave is, to be blunt, f*$&ing incredible. The simplest materials (piano ostinato, tight and irregular glissandi in the strings, militaristic drums) grow and build and expand inexorably to Cleave's high point. The music is haunting, sorrowful, mesmerizing, and hits me in an intensely personal space. When it starts, I can do nothing but listen."
-Jay Batzner, Sequenza 21
full review: http://www.sequenza21.com/cdreviews/2011/03/build-place/
eMusic Editor's Pick
"Build are a new-music ensemble who play an antic, bubbling mixture of chamber jazz and post-rock — violins pluck in spirited little patterns above muted, prismatic piano chords in "Behavior Patterns"; "Dissolve" rumbles along to a driving drum-kit pulse; "Ride" ambles dreamily alongside a melancholic side street that Nick Drake might have visited. It's all played and executed with a light-footed, airy style, sure to sink deftly into the independent film playing in your mind."
-Amelia Raitt, eMusic
#1 Critics' Pick Concert- Time Out New York (Joe's Pub record release show)
"Composer-violinist Matt McBane and company are on a mission to free chamber music of its dowdy roots with out dumbing it down. Celebrating the release of its sophomore album, Place, the quintet brings its home brew of soulful melodies, danceable grooves and ear opening harmonies to Joe's Pub"
-Time Out New York
"…a recording that can be recommended without reservation…"
…"another in a recent series of outstanding releases from the New Amsterdam camp…"
"…always compelling and original."
full review: http://www.textura.org/reviews/build_place.htm
"Brooklyn is awash with young composers intent on dissolving the line between chamber music and instrumental rock. Borough-based composer Matt McBane has managed to sidestep the well-worn track with his second album, Place, which crams everything from modal jazz, electronica and American fiddle music between the bookends of post-classical and post-rock."
-Time Out Chicago
full review: http://timeoutchicago.com/music-nightlife/opera-classical/7553395/build-place-album-review
"Build transcends the confines of venue and genre with its gorgeous, surreal and visceral music."

New CBA Limits on Burying Contracts in the Minors

It is such a fabulous thing to have. Quite decadent. But when I got an estimate from them and realized how much the California Closet or something similar would have cost it was a no brainer.

Those are lift doors above the closet to hide the space bagged stuff! And finally, the unfinished shower panel...when, oh when will the AWOL tile guy come back to grout it?

RE: Tinan - A question about your stairs (Follow-Up #12)
posted by: tinan on 11.15.2012 at 07:27 pm in Home Decorating & Design Forum Here are the specific products I used... you can sign up for a Lowes card in store and get 20% off, even if you don't actually go through with the application or use the card.
Unfinished pine treads with bullnose MDF riser (I thought the ones I bought were primed but can't find that ) Minwax Mission Oak Stain with polyurethane - this looked pretty bad after 1 coat (unevenly soaked in) I thought I'd made a mistake but after 2 coats it looked great. I put in vinyl "wood" plank floors upstairs and down. It was a total of less than $1000 for the flooring for the 1500 sq ft townhouse, and I installed it all myself never having done any flooring or in fact any home reno projects before! At first I couldn't decide what to do with the stars - I definitely did not want carpet as we were putting in all hard floor everywhere else. I priced oak treads and those covertreads and everything was over $2000 as you said (not spending that when I put in the entire house flooring for half the price!). Yes if you are putting in new carpet upstairs I would do the stairs first so you can go over the top lip with the carpet rolled over for a finished look. Here's the upstairs hallway looking into the office after the floor was done but before the stairs (I had to finish the floors so we could move in, stairs were done a few weeks later while I figured out what to do with them - we walked on the yucky splintery plywood steps for a bit! Our steps were not all the same width they were wider at the top of the staircase than the bottom by about 1/2". I just took the shortest measurement of all the steps and had all the treads and risers cut to that size. I wasn't sure if I would be able to convince the Lowes people to cut different pieces to different widths let along keep track of them! As it was, their cutting had some variance anyway within 1/2" so before gluing and nailing things in place, I just tried out the individual pieces on each step and moved them around to get the widest pieces on the widest steps and vice versa. There were only small gaps at the side of some steps which you can see in this photo... I just don't mind them. If you don't like even small cracks/gaps you can fill with caulk and paint over the caulk or you can get stair trim (but that would add to the cost and the labor of cutting all the trim).

RE: Please help me with trip to North Carolina for Furniture (Follow-Up #4)
posted by: beshel on 08.11.2006 at 01:29 pm in Furniture Forum I saved a large amount of money on a recent trip, shopped in Hickory and High Point. If I had to choose one place it would be Hickory. We purchased from many spots, The Hickory Furniture Mart and Catawaba Furniture Mall were the 2 largest. If you go to the chamber of commerce you can get a map that shows all the places and "30 miles of furniture" You should have a plan of where you will go and exactly what you are going to buy - I did a lot of research before going and had the whole trip mapped out - we stayed 5 days. You can buy a good book - "The Furniture factory outlet guide" (I'm not affilated) The book tells you where to shop and which stores to stay away from, this was my 2nd trip to NC for furniture and my 2nd time buying the book. You may want to call some places ahead and get prices over the phone to compare your local prices - just to verify it is worth the trip to "you". I think it is worth going just to see all the different furniture - and not have to pick something out of a catalog and order sight unseen! I have also heard some people think they didn't save that much - mostly (imo) because they were looking at lower end (not bad..just not the really high end stuff) furniture.

RE: Is NC really a great deal? (Follow-Up #8)
posted by: beshel on 06.19.2006 at 04:03 pm in Furniture Forum I have saved a great deal of money by shopping in NC. I purchased in Hickory & High Point. I got to see furniture in person I would never get to see locally (SW FL) - and saved a great deal of money. Some things up to 75% off retail - however I am a good shopper and researched before we went - I had the whole trip mapped out and which stores we went to. I am also picky, I wasn't finding anything I liked locally. If you can't go in person I would call Blacks Furniture in High Point (Pat) for any quotes their shipping company was one of the best & most professional we had and the furniture prices were very good. My MIL went a month after us and made all her purchases at Blacks. All in all I would go to NC again, plus it's fun to see all the different furiture, most I had never seen before. I also purchased "The Furniture Factory Outlet Guide" to do all my research prior to my trip - it was a great tool.

RE: Is NC really a great deal? (Follow-Up #4)
posted by: steakas on 06.15.2006 at 07:31 pm in Furniture Forum High Point Furniture Sales in North Carolina does not charge tax. They use a separate company to ship their items which allows them to avoid charging tax. Their website is http://www.highpointfurnituresales.com I've done business with Hilda.
Good Luck! NOTES: <none>

RE: Visiting/shopping in High Point, NC or similar area (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: smile on 02.28.2009 at 11:55 am in Furniture Forum mrsmarv-
First, my answer would really depend on whether you like the local stores and feel they would offer better service. I would see if your local stores will match the NC prices or at least come close...i.e. so you'd only be overpaying by $100-200. Also take into account that you might have to pay sales tax in the end to NY. However, not all local stores necessarily provide good service, and you have to judge from talking with the manager and ask him/her how he would handle any damages. I actually live 1.5 hr from high point, and for me, I really dont have very many "local" choices and I felt that the high point store I ordered from (Boyles, Rose which is no longer in business) would provide me better service than the "local" store that was 30 min away, so we didn't bother with bargaining (this was a few years ago). However, b/c they were only 1.5 hrs, they were able to send out a furniture repair person and I'm not sure what they'd do if we lived in NY! Recently, we ordered some more furniture and b/c of the current economy, we actually went with national chains (Restoration Hardware -lee sofa- and Thomasville chairs) b/c we felt they were the most secure, gave us a good price, and we could use our credit card (as opposed to the high point stores). We had a pleasant experience -- maybe not the best deal, but it was good quality and a no-hassle experience. Also, the current economy would be another factor, and that is why I recommend only paying with a credit card in case the store were to go bankrupt, and that risk would be with both a local store as well as any NC stores. Feel free to ask me any more questions or email personally...we know quite a bit about the stores since we live near them, and I now am quite knowledgeable about furniture b/c of research on this board and my own "examination" when in a store -- which was all triggered after a HORRIBLE experience at Ethan Allen years ago when we sacrificed for what we thought would be good quality furniture for our child (in spite of the fact that all of our existing furniture was Target-quality!!!)

RE: Trip to North Carolina? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: casajakada on 08.28.2008 at 04:09 am in Furniture Forum It's definitely worth a trip to Hickory, especially for a house full of furniture. The best thing to do is to make sure you have copies of your home plans, pictures of the rooms showing window placement, doorways, arches, etc. Paint chips, rug samples and swatches of any fabrics already being incorporated or that you'd like to use in your new home are also helpful. I was very fortunate to find a few really good salespeople and started working with them on pricing items ahead of time. We were there for three full days and used every minute available to us.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Select which is either brand new or recently renovated, very clean, comfortable and spacious. Much more upscale than I would have expected for Holiday Inn. They offer a discount card good at many of the stores at HFM, which is actually worthwhile along with a breakfast buffet, not just Continental breakfast. I was happy we took advantage of that because every day was filled with shopping from beginning to end. You can map out your planned shopping itinerary by visiting the HFM website, it shows you where all the stores are, too. Boyles has some of the best discounts by far from my own personal experience. For instance, one piece which was approx. $1400 at 3 other stores, was $779 at Boyles. This wasn't a fluke, it held up with many other pieces we bought from Boyles. Plus, they charge the same for delivery no matter how many pieces you buy. If you have any other questions, let me know. We also found Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams, along with Hickory Park Furniture Galleries to have exceptional service, selection and pricing. Kate NOTES: <none>

RE: Scherrs vs Ikea vs Kraftmaid or other (Follow-Up #18)
posted by: joann23456 on 02.11.2010 at 09:37 pm in Kitchens Forum I am just finishing up a kitchen with Ikea boxes and doors from Scherrs. I bought recessed-panel maple doors and had Scherrs finish them with white paint. As one of the other posters mentioned, I priced the kitchen in Tidaholm, and it was about $6,000.
As it was, I ended up paying about $3,000 to Ikea for the carcasses and all the inner stuff (drawers, hinges, etc.). I then spent just under $2,000 for the doors and just over $2,000 to have the doors finished. (Shipping was included somewhere in there, too.) So, I spent about $1,000 more than Ikea would have been, which was an increase of about 17% in my case. I love the Scherrs doors, and they were terrific to work with. I am quite sure I would have been pleased had I ordered all the cabinets from them, but I'm very pleased with what I have. If I were you, one option I would consider is to buy the boxes, drawers and hinges from Ikea, then have Scherr's make and finish the doors, then replace the edge-banding on the Ikea boxes to match the Scherr's doors. (Scherr's was happy to tell me the exact make and number of the finish they used on my doors.) If you do go the Scherr's route (or another custom place), you have to remember stuff like end panels, filler pieces (I had them finish a couple of 1x8s to cut for filler.), toe kick (I used Ikea's white toekick, but you might not find something at Ikea that works), and moldings (again, I used Ikea's decor strip as a light rail and used stock moldings painted white elsewhere). I like Ikea cabinet so much that it would be really hard for me to much more for the boxes and drawers. Good luck figuring this all out! NOTES: <none>

The Poppy Project is an interactive online exhibit showing the home addresses of people listed on Chilliwack's War Memorial who died in the First and Second World Wars.
The exhibit is a collaboration between the University of the Fraser Valley and the Chilliwack Museum and Archives. UFV student Pierce Smith undertook research to determine where soliders, listed on the War Memorial, lived in Chilliwack.
Located in historic Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, the Chilliwack Museum and Archives are operated by the Chilliwack Museum and Historical Society. Since its inception in 1958, the Museum and Archives have developed one of the largest and most important archival and object collections in the Fraser Valley.
The Museum is housed in a historic building near Chilliwack's downtown - the 1912 former City Hall - where you can view historic exhibits on the main floor and contemporary art shows on the second floor. The Archives, located in Evergreen Hall a few blocks from the Museum, is the place where visitors can access historic artifacts and records.

Katlodeeche First Nation
Today the Katlodeeche First Nation Reserve is a thriving community. Since the 70's, it has healed many wounds and built a viable economic base for itself and for its children. Development continues on many fronts, and the Dene continue to find answers to today's problems that are both innovative and consistent with their traditions.
Read the Full Story
Who Are the Dene
The Dene people are the original habitants of the area of land stretching east to west from the Hudson Bay to the interior of Alaska, and south to north from central Alberta to the Arctic Ocean.

Katlodeeche First Nation History
The area around Hay River has long been a gathering place for the South Slavey. The abundant fish stocks of Great Slave Lake around the mouth of the Hay River called the Dene back every summer. In the winter, the families that had gathered on the east banks of the Hay could be found on the shores of Buffalo Lake, south of the present-day reserve. Here, the winter hunting and trapping was quite good.

Pacific Rim
has released a final trailer online in which Idris Elba goes on a recruitment drive as he looks for Jaeger pilots to take the fight to the Kaiju.
Whereas most of the trailers have focused, understandably, on the chaotic action sequences involving giant robots and monsters, this one takes the time to focus on the human element, as Earth mounts one last stand.
There's still plenty of action in there too, of course, but it's nice to see that this one is more than just a video game made flesh.
Take a look at the new trailer, below…
How's about that for spectacular? While its predecessors have certainly been exciting, this last trailer strikes the perfect blend between action and character to really whet our appetites for the finished film.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro and co-starring Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi and Charlie Day,
Pacific Rim
will open in the UK on 12 July 2013.

One person is dead after a semi truck rear-ended a motorcycle on Interstate 90 just outside of Whitehall on Thursday around noon.
The Montana Highway Patrol reports the driver of the motorcycle, an Ohio man, was declared dead at the scene; the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.
The 39-year-old semi-truck driver from Wisconsin sustained no injuries and was not taken to the hospital.
The two vehicles were headed westbound on I-90 near mile marker 238 when the semi hit the motorcycle from behind.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, speed has been ruled out as a factor, but it has not yet been determined if alcohol was involved.
The accident is still under investigation.

As we revealed earlier, you can already play a game very similar to the recently announced PSP and PS3 Network game Echochrome right now, for free from the internet. Just in case you can't be bothered to hit this link and try it for yourself, we thought we'd show you what it can do.
It should be noted that this is really just a tech demo to illustrate the strange concepts of subjective landing and subjective existence, and not actually a game at all. But here's the problem - the demo is fun for about five minutes. How is Echochrome going to sustain our interest over a whole game? Enjoy the vid and try to remember - real-life doesn't work like this.

Unseen is the photography fair for new discoveries, new talent and hidden treasures. With a programme designed to challenge, inspire and excite, the fair aims to create an atmosphere in which today's visitors and tomorrow's collectors feel at home. Unseen is the ultimate international platform through which we advance the exploration and encourage the discovery of the yet undetected photographer or work. It is a platform upon which we expose young talent and share it with the world and a platform from which this talent can spring. Galleries Participating at Unseen Photo Fair 2013 More than fifty galleries from around the world have been invited to participate in the second edition of Unseen Photo Fair. New to this edition are the galleries Aperture Foundation (New York), CONRADS (Dusseldorf), Stevenson (Cape Town), Pobeda Gallery (Moscow), Galerie Fons Welters (Amsterdam), and Galerie Esther Woederhoff (Paris). These galleries will focus on emerging talent and unseen work by renowned photographers. Also new to the fair are four artist-run initiatives, including Polly's Picture show and MELK, who have been invited to present their work alongside the gallery stands. Unseen campaign image 2013: Viviane Sassen We are proud to present unseen work by Viviane Sassen. Sassen is representative of a new generation of Dutch photographers and has deservedly won wide recognition for her ability to traverse the worlds of art and fashion, establishing her name at the highest international levels. Sassen also shot the campaign image for this year's edition of Unseen. Sasha Stone, Managing Director of Unseen comments: "Viviane Sassen's photography perfectly represents the notion of 'discovery'. She is furthermore incredibly brave and experimental in her approach, combining formal and technical advances with astoundingly beautiful images. For Unseen, there was no better match." The Unseen Collection will return to the grounds of the Westergasfabriek during Unseen. Comprising of more than 100 works contributed by galleries participating at Unseen Photo Fair 2013, the works are priced at 1,000 euros and under, thereby highlighting Unseen's aim to make the best in contemporary photography available to all. Firestarters presents Unseen Theatre will host a series of panel discussions and lectures. Starting with the launch of the Foam Magazine Talent issue on Thursday 26 September, the themes for the talks on the successive days will range from Editing the World on Friday to How to Connect in a Globalising World on Saturday. Speakers will include, among others, Jörg Colberg (Conscientious), Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs (photographers), Cristina De Middel (photographer), Jenna Brinning (Tumblr), Nalden (social entrepreneur), Alejandro Castellanos (Centro de la Imagen), Nathalie Herschdorfer (Alt. +1000), Feng Boyi (curator and art critic), Todd Hido (photographer), and Chris McCall (Pier 24 Photography). Selected films and documentaries about photography will also be screened at the Unseen Theatre. These include films by Gregory Crewdson, Julius Shulman, Bert Stern, and Katrien Vermeire, and more. IDFA and AVRO have also curated film selections for Unseen. French artist JR will present his project 'INSIDE OUT' at the Westergasfabriek. Addressing notions of commitment, freedom, identity and limits, JR will create an exhibition without boundaries. Large prints made onsite will be exhibited both in and out of the fair space. Everyone can participate and have their portrait added to the exhibition free of charge. So far over 120,000 people from more than 100 countries have participated, turning their stories into works of public art. The Unseen Living Room is an informal meeting place where visitors can sit and relax, listen to interviews and watch short films, and take in all that Unseen has to offer. Featuring Freunde Von Freunden, a Japanese Talent slideshow, and guest speakers such as Cheryl Dunn (filmmaker Everybody Street) and Christopher LaMarca (photographer) and more, the Unseen Living Room is the place for professionals and the public alike to come together, learn and discuss. Festive Opening of Unseen - Wednesday 25 September Unseen will open to press and invited guests only on Wednesday 25 September. Visiting journalists will be able to collect their accreditation from 14.30, and the press preview will take place from 15.00 to 18.00. At 15.30 the press conference will start: Viviane Sassen will be present with Unseen directors Marloes Krijnen, Pjotr de Jong and Roderick van der Lee.

Dietary Fiber
Adequate daily intake of dietary fiber helps to prevent constipation and diverticulosis. In addition, eating a diet rich in fiber from whole grains is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease. It appears that optimal physiological functioning of the intestinal tract is dependent upon a satisfactory mixture and level of dietary fiber.
Dietary fiber is the total amount of undigested, naturally occurring material in foods. It is a complex carbohydrate found in all plant-based foods — including fruits, vegetables, grains, breads and cereals. Fiber is not found in meat, milk, cheese or oils, and the refining process used to make white flour removes almost all of the fiber from grains. Because fiber is not digested and absorbed, its importance lies in what it does as it passes through the body.
Fiber decreases your risk of constipation, diverticular disease, irritable bowel syndrome and hemorrhoids. Too much fiber can cause flatulence, and abdominal bloating with discomfort.
There are six main types of fiber:
- Cellulose is the structural fiber in plant-cell walls found in all fruits, vegetables and legumes.
- Hemicellulose is the main structural fiber in cereals.
- Lignin is the only non-carbohydrate fiber and is the toughest of the fibers, found in small fruit seeds (such as raspberry or strawberry seeds) or in the woody parts of vegetables (such as carrots).
- Pectin, which forms a gel when combined with water, is found in high quantities in apples and citrus fruits, but can be found in most fruits and vegetables.
- Gums are the sappy substances exuded by plants. They often are used as food additives for thickening.
- Mucilages are similar to gums and are used as stabilizers in prepared foods.
These types of fiber differ in ability to hold water, solubility and viscosity, and ability to bind with other substances such as minerals and bile. The most popular way of grouping the fibers is by solubility.
Soluble fibers — gums, pectins, mucilages and some hemicelluloses — dissolve in water and are abundant in fruits, legumes, barley and oats. Soluble fibers slow down stomach-emptying time, which allows you to feel fuller longer and gives your digestive system more time to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. Soluble fibers also bind with bile in your intestines and carry it out of your body. Since bile is made of cholesterol, that means more harmful cholesterol is leaving your body, which lowers your cholesterol level.
Insoluble fibers — cellulose, lignins and many hemicelluloses — do not dissolve in water. They are found in vegetables, whole-grain breads and whole-grain cereals. Insoluble fibers increase the bulk of stool, making it easier to pass and better able to carry the bound bile out of your system. Insoluble fibers also hasten "transit time," or the speed at which food moves through your gastrointestinal system, which allows the body to rid itself of potentially toxic or disease-causing substances.
Ideally, everyone should get between 20 and 35 grams of fiber each day — about twice as much as the average American consumes. A good place to begin is by following the new Healthy Eatinig Plate. Switch from refined foods to whole-grain foods, which includes changing from white bread to whole-wheat bread and from white rice to brown rice. Besides whole-grain products, other sources of fiber are legumes, lentils, bran, and most fruits and vegetables.
If you decide to increase the amount of fiber you eat, there are some guidelines to remember:
- Since fiber absorbs water, increase the amount of fluids you drink as you increase your fiber intake. Water, juice, broth or low-fat milk are good choices.
- Introduce extra fiber gradually. This will give your body a chance to adjust for the additional gassiness the fiber may cause.
- Eat a variety of plant foods. This will ensure that you get both soluble and insoluble fiber in your diet.

Our City levies a personal property tax on the following kinds of personal property: automobiles, trucks, motor homes, motorcycles, trailers, campers, farm machinery, boats, outboard motors, airplanes and business personal property. This tax is assessed by the Commissioner of the Revenue and paid to the Treasurer's Office. The due date for the tax is June 11th of each year.
Petersburg pro-rates personal property taxes therefore the tax is pro-rated to the period the property was located in the City unless taxed in another pro-rating Virginia Jurisdiction. When moving into or out of the City please contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at 733-2315 for possible tax adjustment. . Military: Military personnel are required to display an appropriate city window decal however, under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act, non-Virginia resident military personnel are exempt from personal property taxes if the personal property is titled solely in the name of the service person. Personal property registered jointly with a non-military member is taxable in the jurisdiction where it is garaged. Personal Property Tax Return: This return must be filed yearly by residents of the City.
Failure to file by the due date will initiate a late filing penalty equal to ten percent of the taxes due, or $10.00, whichever is greater. Failure to receive a tax form does not relieve you of your responsibility to file a personal property tax return. Please notify the Commissioner of the Revenue, at 733-2315, if a filing form is not received by March 1st.
