Talk about sedition
Left-wing commentators spew more than their share of vitriol
You would almost think it was a "Saturday Night Live" skit, all these leftists carrying on about hate-filled right-wing berserkers who aren't hate-filled or berserk at all.
I am talking about you, Joe Klein, and your talk about Glenn Beck being guilty of sedition, and of those editors at Newsweek who compared Beck to the infamous, anti-Semitic Father Charles Coughlin of the Roosevelt era. And you Bill Maher. You and your comedy that's revealing in ways you don't seem to understand.
Poor Beck. How has all this come to be heaped on him? The obvious answer is that the likeable Fox News commentator happens to be more or less conservative, has a huge following and on a couple of occasions embarrassed mainstream media by hopping on major stories while big-name journalists sat on their hands. He's got his faults. Incisive he is not. Way off base? Occasionally.
But none of that sort of thing justifies Klein, a columnist for Time, pulling a napkin out of his pocket on "The Chris Matthews Show," pretentiously reading a scribbled definition of sedition as "conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state," and then saying Beck and Sarah Palin are close to being seditious.
Did it ever for a minute occur to Klein that his diatribes against George W. Bush were at least as "seditious" as anything Beck ever said?
Then we come to Newsweek, which does this great, big article on hate and the right wing, and shows pictures of the 1930s populist, leftist senator and governor from Louisiana, Huey Long, and Father Coughlin, who had a radio show reaching maybe 40 million people. We also have pictures of Beck and Palin, telling us how the microphones of these populist screamers of the past were passed on to them.
How so? Let's focus here on Palin. The article worries that she may have been prompting violence when, on her Facebook page, she had "crosshairs aimed at . . . home districts" of House Democrats who voted for the Obama health plan and advised political opponents to "reload."
She meant this literally? These writers never had metaphor explained to them?
Maher has called the pope a Nazi, the Catholic Church "the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia" and recently made fun of the Tea Party tax rallies.
What's really infuriating, though, is Maher's line, "Why let the truth spoil a perfectly good Klan rally?" With no evidence whatsoever, he is saying that thousands of everyday citizens are racists?
No joke intended, doesn't that make Maher a bigot?

What is your food of choice when you're watching the game?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on April 2, 2008
"Just some tortilla chips and cheese dip with salsa. I like to be able to snack throughout the game."
"I'd have to say pizza and beer. It's fast, easy and it doesn't take you away from the game while you're eating."
"Anything fried as long as I have some beer. That's the kind of food they sell at the game, so I like to eat when I'm watching at home."
"Chips and guacamole. It's always delicious."
Richard Heckler 6 years, 10 months ago
Guacamole or a red onion/garlic tofu dip. Yumo with crackers.When the city gets around to funding installation of Free State Copperhead,John Brown Ale and Oatmeal Stout lines throughout the city all will be swell. Not only that the city would realize substantial return on their investment which would be an earth shattering event in and of itself.
aginglady 6 years, 10 months ago
merrill eats tofu?I guess I missed this side of him somewhere along the line.;)Two of my favorite appetizers to take to game parties are my recipes. The men wolf them down.Frozen meat/cheese raviolis, dipped in a batter of beaten egg, and a touch of milk, rolled in flour, curry,salt and pepper,then deep fried. FInger lickin square little surprise goodies!Another is egg roll wrappers, stuffed with Dillon's ham salad spread, plus a bit of heat, like chili peppers or minced ginger. Roll then fry.Wow, I miss cooking for a crowd.Pretty much the only game I have to watch at my house, is a young visitor and his guitar hero..if I have to play too, snacking isn't an option! He's young enough, he hates everything except cake!

The grilled flesh of some formerly living animal...did I say "formerly?"
aginglady 6 years, 10 months ago
LOL. The mate adds..homemade beans and ham..the kind with a ham hock and real beans, garlic, cornbread. That kind he loves. That's a good one for a crowd too. A whole room full of blazing saddles action. Easy cheap and you can make a big pot. Freeze leftovers.
aginglady 6 years, 10 months ago
eww H_L. You made me remember, while passing over the guy who eats wierd stuff on the travel channel, there was a market pan of what couldn't have been anything other than deep fried fetal pigs.Unbattered.

No wonder Americans are obese. The idea that sitting immobile in front of a television requires food accompaniment is one I tried never to let my kids get used to.
trinity 6 years, 10 months ago
i can usually munch on popcorn or chips or somethin' during the first half of a 'Hawks game; however, that last game? about the last 6 minutes was spent jumping up&down, kneeling on the floor, banging head on said floor...so not alot of eatin' goin' on, then.

If at home, it's beer and a bowl of raisins and peanuts. If at the bar, it's beer, wings, and beer, all washed down with an ice-cold beer.
agtprovocateuse 6 years, 10 months ago
Vermont Street BBQ's burnt ends and several cans of PBR are the perfect game day combo.
dajudge 6 years, 10 months ago
I like "authentic" Mexican food at an "authentic" Mexican food restaurant.Or, Eye-talian food at a bistro or ristorante.Sometimes, I"ll just eat some potted meat food product right out of the can.Or, Vi-any sausages and a can of head-on sardines with a bottle of Annie Green Springs.Or, like one time in Westport, picked up a sack of pig snoot sandwiches.
sunflower_sue 6 years, 10 months ago
Saturday is my sis' b.day...so it'll probably be whatever food she's requested...no doubt lots of salty, fatty substances followed by lots of sugary, fatty substances. My mental vibe detector is picking up "Mexican food" followed by "cheesecake."
sunflower_sue 6 years, 10 months ago
dajudge, how about some nice head-cheese to go along with that? (Everything but the squeal!)
OldEnuf2BYurDad 6 years, 10 months ago
"No wonder Americans are obese. The idea that sitting immobile in front of a television requires food accompaniment is one I tried never to let my kids get used to."Chill out, Olsen twin. We're just talking about one game, not a lifestyle.Or at least some of us are just talking about one game.
janeyb 6 years, 10 months ago
I want pizza, but the senior fifteen dictates plain popcorn for a few weeks.
tonythetiger 6 years, 10 months ago
I stalk through the fields and hide in the tall grasses of the savannah. I climb the high sierras and weil through the jungle denses... I spy before me a handicapped transportation van and so as the weakest of the pack I pounce when I have the chance and then disappear into the dense forest cover to enjoy my meal. Of course I like to eat "wild game".I love eating wild game. They're grrrrrrrrrrrreeeeaaat!!!!
BrianR 6 years, 10 months ago
"Chill out, Olsen twin. We're just talking about one game, not a lifestyle."That is hilarious.

With the passing of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, we are wrapping up our third annual Chicago's In Good Taste Campaign. While the total has not yet been tallied, we're hoping to have doubled our results from last year's $30,000.
This campaign united close to 150 local businesses, predominantly restaurants, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The ultimate goal for the participating restaurants, dining services, spas and other organizations was to raise money for breast cancer research. When guests dined at the participating establishments or utilize participating services, patrons had the opportunity to donate $1 or more to the Lynn Sage Foundation. All donations generated benefit the Lynn Sage Scholars Program at Northwestern University.
We've also been fortunate enough to be asked to be one of four beneficiaries for the LuxeHome Chill event which features 30 luxury LuxeHome boutiques hosting top Chicago-area chefs and superb wines from winemakers worldwide.
"The Lynn Sage Foundation has given me the support to examine the role of obesity and obesity related genes in breast cancer. This will help our breast cancer patients live longer and better lives."
-Virginia Kaklamani, MD, DSc, Assistant Professor, Division of Hematology/Oncology

Just wondering if these new developments, Bloomingdales and Flemings, are going to be more big buildings right up to the street.
El Camino is a wide street, but I think that we should still be able to see the parking lot as we drive past Stanford Shopping Center. We have a feeling of open space which makes Stanford an attractive shopping center, unlike the feel of the new Antonio center in Mountain View which appears prison like with all the high walls and hidden stores.
Please keep the feel of open space where we still have it. No more prison walls alongside our streets.

The new San Antonio development is wonderful. A real pleasure. Can't wait for all the stores to open. People n palo alto are so against modernization and change.
BTW, Thursday's tan ford paper stated that the hospital project may be finished ahead of time. Meanwhile, the Mitchell park library......

"Make Your Move" will be a practical, action-oriented book that is packed with solutions to problems that hundreds of thousands of businesses regularly face. In clear, nontechnical language, it will tell readers precisely what steps to take and when to take them. Many of the solutions that we recommend are counterintuitive; so, without this book, readers would be hard pressed to learn about them on their own. As a result, they would miss golden opportunities and could jeopardize their futures. For example, during Phase A of the business cycle, the economy is improving so businesses must become aggressive and make firm plans and commit to expenditures to capitalize on the upcoming boom. However, most will not. They, like most of those around them, will be stuck in recession mindsets: hoarding money, employing skeletal staffs and keeping inventories low. They will be afraid to change and will just sit tight, which will decrease their future profits and affect their very survival.

TUESDAY, Sept. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to combat stress can have subtle, long-lasting effects on brain wiring, although most war-related brain changes clear up with time, a small Dutch study found.
Researchers evaluating 33 healthy soldiers just back from deployment in Afghanistan found that problems with concentration during complex thinking tasks were common early on, but eventually improved.
But, subtle changes involving brain circuitry appeared longer-lasting.
"Almost a quarter of soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan experience some difficulty in social and operational functioning," said lead researcher Guido van Wingen, from the Brain Imaging Center at the University of Amsterdam.
"What we wanted to know is how that could be related to brain function," he said.
For the study, published online Sept. 3 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, van Wingen's team looked at members of the NATO International Security Assistance Force peacekeeping operation, before and six weeks after a four-month deployment in Afghanistan.
The investigators compared these soldiers with 26 soldiers who were never deployed. A year and a half later, they followed up.
Using neuropsychological tests and functional MRI, the researchers did identify changes in brain function, specifically in the midbrain, van Wingen said.
The prolonged stress of armed combat, enemy fire and explosions initially interfered with the ability to concentrate during complicated tasks, but after 18 months the ability to sustain attention returned, the study found.
"The brain rapidly adapted to the situation in Afghanistan, but changes back when it returns to a safe environment," van Wingen said. "This shows how plastic the brain is and that's reassuring to know."
However, changes to the connections between the midbrain and the prefrontal co

Good medium red. Primary aromas of blackberry, wild herbs and pepper, along with a whiff of game. Dense and closed today, conveying a strong impression of power. There's a slightly sugary quality to the black raspberry fruit, but also a distinctly savory character to the notes of licorice, fresh herbs and underbrush. The cooler sites are a bit less 2009-typical, noted Nicolas Groffier, ". . . a bit 2005-like." Finishes very long, with substantial dusty tannins and a piquant hint of lemon rind.

Ok guys I could get the solution with a spend of $32
Consider the families as denoted by their first letters as follows : Side1 (f, m, s, d, b) and Side2 (f', m', s', d' b')
Here is the sequence to follow :
1) s,d,b moves from Side1 to Side 2
Cost incurred = $6
2) s', d', b' moves from Side2 to Side1
Cost incurred = $6
3) f, m, b' moves from Side1 to Side 2
Cost incurred = $10
4) f', m' , b' moves from Side2 to Side1
Cost incurred = $10
Total cost incurred = $ 6+6+10+10 = $32

can i ask one thing?? is there a limit in max no. of persons that can travel in the boat at a time mentioned?? only the minimum is mentioned... so one family can go together. costs only 15... hi hi.. prob solved
But from wolgang's post (post #16), he says ----
The total sum is 33$ for the both two families( i.e.the money ,33$,are devided between them,...somehow...)
The boats driver must be always on his boat.
The boat can take only four persons each time( no more and no less),i.e.the boat driver and exactly three persons.
Each baby must be accompanied with ,at least,one person of his own family.

Through an e-mail, I agreed to art work for an advertisement for our company. That was in March 2012. Then in May BEFORE it went to print, I told them many times that I wanted to cancel our ad. They said they spent time on it and had to make changes and updates from the previous ad that we placed in a college student planner. However, there were not changes made, it was the same ad as the previous year. And again, it hadn't gone to print. Now the advertising firm is billing me and now sent it to collections. Saying that my verbal response is legally binding and I have to pay. Do I have to pay for this? Do they have a legal leg to stand on?
I agree with my colleague both that the other party may have an equitable claim based on work completed and that a verbal contract can form a binding contract, but that it could be subject to the statute of frauds (meaning that a "writing" is required and that you must "sign" it to be bound by it). Whether the statute of frauds would apply depends on some more specifics (such as whether or not the "contract" contemplated that it would be completed within a year). An e-mail can in some circumstances satisfy the writing requirement of the statute of frauds. Whether or not they have a leg to stand on depends on more specifics.
The query is confusing. In a short answer, a verbal contract is binding if it represents a meeting of the minds and depending on the amount and terms. In most states, over a certain amount the "statute of frauds" applies, meaning that such contracts are not enforceable unless in writing. There are other terms that bring the statute of frauds into play. Here, it is unclear what you refer to as your "verbal response." If you agreed to pay for advertising orally and you later cancelled the order, the advertiser may well have a claim for "quantum meruit" meaning the value of its services up to the time of cancellation. You should determine what, if any, services they provided in reliance on your order before the cancellation before paying them. Good luck!

These leggings are amazingly soft and comfortable and machine wash and dry. However I find they snag very easily so don't last as long as I'd like for the price. However overall they're worth it for the fit and comfort.
After spending pretty much years trying to find the perfect leggings I came across these. I thought they were pretty pricey as they're about 3 times what I'd normally pay, but they're so worth it. I am so fed up of leggings collapsing or coming part, these have worn so well and look just like opaque tights if you wear them with skirt and boots. I am about a size 16 and the 14 fits perfectly. They are so light to wear, and the best thing is they seem to adapt to the temperature, getting warmer when it's cold out and when I wore them in summer when it turned out to be a rather hot day they kept me at just the right temperature.
Super soft, colour goes with everything, last pair lasted over a year. What's not to like?
So soft, have just had hip surgery and these are perfect to wear over scar!
May we have more colours please?
These leggings were truly lovely, as other reviewers also agree, however I sadly had to return them as I knew my dog's claws would have shredded them in minutes. Big shame. If you don't have an animal with claws, then I recommend.
At last, the tights/leggings I have been waiting for. I am undergoing medical treatment that makes my abdomen swollen and painful, and most leggings are too tight in the waist. But these are super comfortable, loose at the waist and can be worn under tunics so no one can see my 'bump'. I'm about to order two more pairs. Brilliant!
Having read the reviews carefully I ordered Size 12 though I am usually a 14 for jeans etc. They fit perfectly and are wonderfully soft and a good colour for the summer - rather more Slate Blue than Midnight but very pretty. Brora delivery, packing etc as brilliant as ever. Please can we have more colours?
Lovely soft material, nice black colour, very comfortable to wear. Slightly long on me (5'6").

Geronimo Server Release Process
Geronimo Server Release Process has been edited by Donald Woods (Sep 10, 2008). Change summary: updated Steps #8 based on staging profile used for 2.1.3 Procedure
The next sections are copied from http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html with modifications for Geronimo. Releasing a Geronimo ProjectWhat follows is a description of releasing a Geronimo project to a staging repository, whereupon it is scrutinized by the community, approved, and transfered to a production repository. Be sure that:
In order to release a project you must also have the following setup in your $HOME/.m2/settings.xml which is a profile that defines the staging repository. Here's what your release profile might look like in your $HOME/.m2/settings.xml : <settings> <profiles> <profile> <id>release</id> <properties> <gpg.passphrase>secretPhrase</gpg.passphrase> <deploy.altRepository>apache.releases::default::scp://people.apache.org/x1/home/[your apache id]/public_html/staging-repo/${siteId}</deploy.altRepository> <staging.siteURL>scp://people.apache.org/x1/home/[your apache id]/public_html/staging-site</staging.siteURL> </properties> </profile> <profile> <!-- use for local site deploy testing and local deploy testing --> <id>local</id> <properties> <deploy.altRepository>djencks::default::file://[home directory]/staging-repo/${siteId}</deploy.altRepository> <gpg.passphrase>secretPhrase</gpg.passphrase> <staging.siteURL>file://[home directory]/staging-site</staging.siteURL> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <servers> <server> <id>apache.releases</id> <username>[your apache id]</username> <passphrase>[secret passphrase]</passphrase> <filePermissions>664</filePermissions> <directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions> </server> <server> <id>geronimo-website</id> <username>[your apache id]</username> <passphrase>[secret passphrase]</passphrase> <filePermissions>664</filePermissions> <directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions> </server> </servers> </settings>
Everything that you need to release has (will have, actually) been configured in the genesis root pom all Geronimo projects inherit from. Your project should adhere to standard trunk,branches,tags svn layout in which case no further release profile configuration should be needed. Some slight deviation such as our specs project still works without extra configuration. Avoid more complex layouts that require special configuration. This is the base release configuration in the genesis root pom: <profile> <id>release</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile> <goals>deploy</goals> <arguments>-Prelease</arguments> </configuration> </plugin> <!-- We want a source jar --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <!-- We want to sign the artifact, the POM, and all attached artifacts --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-gpg-plugin</artifactId> <inherited>true</inherited> <configuration> <passphrase>${gpg.passphrase}</passphrase> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>sign</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <!-- We want to deploy the artifact to a staging location for perusal --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId> <inherited>true</inherited> <configuration> <altDeploymentRepository>${deploy.altRepository}</altDeploymentRepository> <updateReleaseInfo>true</updateReleaseInfo> </configuration> </plugin> <!-- We want the JavaDoc JAR published with the release --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <inherited>true</inherited> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>attach-javadocs</id> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> Release Process as used for Geronimo 2.1.x:This incorporates some aspects of the maven release process but stops short of actually using the maven release plugin. It utilizes a branch for the release process.
Updating the poms after making a new branchOnce a new branch is created you will generally need to manage the version number in the poms for parent entries. The following Perl scripts will assist in that task. It could use some polishing but given the relatively infrequent use. Pom Version Changer perl -i.orig -pe ' Remember to properly escape periods in the oldVersion. For instance, to change 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT to 1.1.1 you would have Example perl -i.orig -pe '
In addition to the pom version changes there are several other places where version updates are necessary. To be certain all have been updated you should grep the source for old version references to ensure that those remaining are correct. Here is an attempt to capture other version changes necessary:
In addition, there are some special version updates required in some pom.xml files beyond those addressed by the script:
Update the on-going maintenance branchMake similar changes in the branch that will continue on for the next release.
In addition, there are special updates for references to release notes and the plugin website:
In addition, there are special updates for artifact-alias entries:
RationaleWe create a branch at freeze time for the following reasons:
NoticeThe original process in this document was voted on by the Geronimo community. Please formally propose all changes to email@example.com. See: Revised process using maven tools voted on in March 2008. Only major structural changes now require votes. See: (not yet in archive) |

Supported by the Lola J. May - Shirley M. Frye Fund
"Through your generosity, my proposal, Getting to the Core of Meaningful Mathematics Instruction is becoming a reality. As I continue to work towards and accomplish the goals of balancing achievement gaps in mathematics, sharing meaningful mathematics strategies with colleagues, and enhancing my instructional delivery and understanding, it is with much gratitude that I realize it would not be possible without the generous support of the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics [through the Mathematics Education Trust]."
~Erika E. Beagle, 2013-14 Awardee
Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (NCTM 2014) suggests that creating effective classrooms and learning environments in every school and district will take leaders committed to support sustained professional development that engages teachers in continual growth of their mathematical knowledge for teaching, pedagogical content knowledge, and knowledge of students as learners of mathematics (p. 114).
The purpose of this grant is to provide financial support for teachers seeking to improve their understanding and appreciation of mathematics by completing course work in school mathematics content and pedagogy working toward an advanced degree, and taking an active professional approach toward teaching mathematics. The proposal may outline a study plan for a one-year, a two-year, or a three-year program. The plan may take several forms, such as a multi-year sequence of summer(s) and evening course work, institutes, graduate programs in mathematics education, or leaves of absence. For 2015–2016, a program grant with a maximum total of $24,000 will be awarded to a person currently teaching mathematics for at least 3 years, and teaching at least 50% of the time in classroom(s) at the grades Pre-K–6 level.Proposals must address the rationale for the coursework and professional activity, and the expected impact on teaching and student learning. The grant will advance funds to cover tuition, books, and other direct costs. The balance of the funds will be issued as a stipend upon submission of receipts and of an official transcript that demonstrates successful completion of the proposed mathematics course work. The intent of the balance of the grant is to provide funds so that the grantee can have the time to concentrate on this course work and professional activity. The grant may reimburse professional dues, conference attendance, childcare and such expenses pertinent to the proposed program.The applicant must be a current (on or before April 24, 2015) Full Individual or E-Member of NCTM or must teach at a school with a current (on or before April 24, 2015) NCTM Pre-K–8 school membership. The applicant must be presently teaching mathematics in grades Pre-K-6 and intend to continue teaching in the next school year. No person(s) may receive more than one award administered by the Mathematics Education Trust in the same academic year. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply.Interested teachers are invited to submit a proposal. The 2015–2016 MET Proposal Cover Form must be completed and serve as the top page of each copy of the proposal. The proposal must be typewritten, double-spaced and single-sided (please organize as outlined below), with margins of at least one inch on 8.5" x 11" paper. Font size must be no smaller than 10-point (Times Roman suggested), and width between characters should be normal (100%). Five copies (one original and four copies) of the proposal should be included in a single packet addressed to the Mathematics Education Trust at NCTM, 1906 Association Drive, Reston, VA 20191-1502. The application packet must be postmarked by May 4, 2015. Faxed copies will not be accepted. Duplicate applications will not be considered.
Note: This grant is awarded to an individual teacher. The award must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, and it is subject to federal income taxes. A Form 1099 will be sent to the grant recipient at the end of the calendar year. If you have any questions about your own income tax liability, you should contact the Internal Revenue Service or your tax counsel. These sources can advise a recipient on the proper way to report project or program expenses.
❏ Provide a detailed rationale of the relevance of the mathematics content to be studied as it relates to the teaching of mathematics in Grades PreK-6.
❏ Provide a rationale as to how the professional activity connects to the applicant's classroom teaching of mathematics and enhances the plan of study.
❏ Describe the expected impact on teaching and student learning.
❏ Describe the course(s) you plan to take. Course content should relate to school mathematics and be appropriate for the applicants teaching level. Include institution name, institution location, full course title and catalogue description and number of credits for each course.
❏ Include an unofficial transcript(s) of the undergraduate and graduate mathematics course work that you have already completed.
❏ Include an itemized budget (presented by line item in a table format). Funds may be used for tuition, books, supplies, and other expenses related to achieving the goals of the proposal. The intent of the balance of the grant each year of the grant is to provide funds so that the grantee can have the time to concentrate on this course work and to be professionally active. Thus, the balance of the grant (limit of 50% of total request per year) can be used as a stipend to cover other expenses.
❏ Formal education. Indicate the institution, type of degree, major, minor, and date each degree was granted.
❏ Teaching experience related to this grant proposal must be at least 3 years. Indicate the school(s), teaching assignments, and other pertinent information, including continuing education and professional activities.
❏ Letter must be signed on school stationery, confirm the teaching status of the applicant and plans to teach next year, and indicate strong support for the proposal.
❏ Letter from the superintendent must indicate any leave of absence will be supported by a continuance of district medical insurance coverage for the applicant.
❏ Awardees will be required to submit a brief report (not to exceed two double-spaced pages) upon completion of each year of the plan.
❏ Tuition, books and other direct costs of the approved budget will be paid at the beginning of the plan each year. The remainder of the grant for each year will be paid on submission of verified expenses (with receipts) related to the proposal, of required reports and official transcript(s) indicating successful completion of the approved courses.
❏ Multi-year grants are subject to an assessment of progress/completion on a yearly basis to determine the continuation of funding of the originally approved grant.
The Mathematics Education Trust was established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

… a confessed armed robber in Newport, Delaware who's suing the pizza place he tried to rob four years ago and its employees for tackling and disarming him during the attempted robbery.
His suit – which he filed from prison – saying that they treated him roughly unnecessarily.
Yes. He tried to rob the place, his gun fired during the attempt, and he's suing the people who stopped him from completing the robbery.
He says he should be awarded $260,000.
How about the pizza place sends him a pepperoni slice and they all call it even?

Room was excellant. Staff were excellant.
Cleaning wasn't done around the edge of the floor and the bathroom door raised panels were dirty. Probably doesn't need wiping down everyday but when needed. sink was rusty and poor looking but worked. Just saying what I notice around my home.
Price, we come up for a girls weekend so we don't stay much in our hotel. For the price that we paid it is pretty much what we expected.
Surprised at how noisy this hotel was. We had motorcycles driving in at midnight to 1:00 in the morning each night of our stay. Not only did they make a lot of noise but also kept their radios on outside in the parking lot so that everyone could hear.
It was filthy. The basket that held the guest shampoo had a washrag that had stains. You couldn't tell if it was makeup or blood. The tv had black splaterings all along the bottom. But one of the most disturbing parts of the room were very large stains on the side of both mattresses. It could have been spilled coffee but looked more like blood splatters. The socks we wore became black from walking on the carpet. There were hairs in the tub when we arrived.
The location is great, close to the strip yet out of the busy traffic. The front desk personnel was helpful and went out of their way to,assist us.
Shortage of cleaning crew was apparent. The room had not been occupied for some time and was not touched up prior to,our arrival. Dusty counter tops and bedspread had food remnants.
Breakfast was poor. Cereal stale. Wasn't ready when promised.
The hotel is well located, right in the middle of everything. The lady from the front desk was very nice, helpfull and seemed overwhelmed multitasking (1 person operation). It's a shame a hard working person like her have to deal with such a place. I only stayed there because it was the only hotel available during the busiest holiday weekend... I understand why now.
Beds are terrible, dirty, stained, first time I see a hotel room with only 1 single tin fitted sheet over a mattress. You could actually see through stains. Only 1 sheet cover. Carpets are disgusting. Is not the old looking hotel, I have been in several in Branson, but the clean less. Paid $60 a night for a dump.
location / price / comes around to you get what you pay for /staff was great !!!!
pillow was thin as cardboard/ sink had several nicks in finish and was rusty; looked nasty/ room needed to be updated
Hotel was completely booked. No hot water one morning due to everyone taking showers at the same time.
Gave us dirty room , filthy floors, sinks , tubs , all are worn out dresser had pop spilled on it. floors were dirty, coffee maker had filth in it. Terrible place to stay should be closed by health dept. Gave us different room just as bad. Matteress worn out drinks stuff on them, totally disgusting , will never go cheap again.
Staff went out of their way to make sure we had all our needs taken care of.
Location and responsive staff.
Overall pleased with first visit. Facility exterior could use some thorough cleaning. In real estate, "curb appeal" is very important.
Location was good and price was fine. Room was cool and air conditioner worked great.
No microwave, no refrigerator, no blow dryer, no iron. The pillows were awful. Give more pillows are better pillows.
Smoke, nasty smell, pool was awful. Bathrooms nasty.
The staff was nice
Everything was dirty around the p;ace inside and out. Musty smelling dirty linens and carpet very disappointed
Staff was very nice and helpful , nice pool and elevator was very useful .
Bathroom was not very clean and we found a cock roach running up the wall in the bath room . Alarm Clock was broken but the clerk gave us another one that worked .
clean and comfortable bed
the hotel could have used more of a up date of the exterior, pealing paint, rotten wood around the pool area. Pool dirty & pool pump wiring not done correctly.Cobwebs in the windows of the elevator.TV not working correctly and clock not working had to ask 3 times to get fixed.
close to every thing . off main road.
had to pay extra for refrigerator and microwave.. no one made the bed
The staff was nice and the location was good.
It smelled terrible, the Sheetrock on the ceiling was falling down and there was a 1 1/2 inch gap across the whole ceiling. It had not been updated since it was built. We left a day early so we wouldn't have to stay another night. I would never stay there again even if it was free and never recommend it to anyone!
I liked how convenient it was to everything & the discounts that was offered at check in, the convenience of show tickets through hotel.
Was disappointed about the manager telling me it would just be easier if I paid the $30 for our fridge in the room when I told her I didn't need it after finding out about the charge. There was no mention when booking the room or on the website about a fridge charge.
the location
no hot water or water pressure if you are a late riser and it's a busy weekend.
Sheets wouldn't stay on the bed. Couldn't get into the room at 2pm because room wasn't cleaned.

The American asked the Zookeeper, " How much does the Zoo cost? My children like it very much. I want to buy the Zoo," "We are not going to sell it,but we can buy children for the Zoo," was the answer.

ScorchedContinuing his quest for sense and beauty, Wajdi Mouawad has plunged into the turbulent depths of writing to discover, washed up midst the sand dunes, fiery tales lost in the mists of time. Making their way through the dunes are Nawal's twin children, Janine and Simon, who want to solve the mystery of their origins. In retracing the bitter history of their mother (enveloped in silence until her death), other characters come into the story - witnesses or key players able to assist in the investigation. Carried aloft by poetic language, the inquiry pursued by Janine and Simon unfolds in a dreamlike atmosphere that cultivates the mystery surrounding a knife thrust into the heart of childhood. |

Combine science and magic? Sure, why not?,
This review is from: Rivers of London (Hardcover)
It is always such a pleasure for me to find an author who manages to write a book that piques my interest and holds my attention. Both are true here because Ben Aaronovitch created something new for me. Normally when I read an urban fantasy book the plot requires that all those involved in that world are aware of the magic components active all around them. In this book that is not the case. Probationary PC Peter Grant had been left to guard a crime scene when he met a ghost. Not just any ghost either, no, this one was a witness to the crime. In very short order PC Grant finds himself assigned to a unit of the Metropolitan Police which up until he joined it had only one other member, a wizard. Peter is now on his way to becoming an apprentice wizard, learning magic and trying to help solve the crimes of completely unexplained violence which are breaking out all over London. Peter's best answer is to use his interest in scientific knowledge and experimentation in conjunction with the magic to explain some of the things that are happening.
I really enjoyed this book for its humor and the unusual combination of scientific investigation paired with utilizing magic. It put a different spin on the plot for me by having the entire London scene be so solidly in the present time, with the citizens of that great city completely unaware of the magic or the horrors within their city. I also enjoyed the great amount of research this author has obviously done regarding the many rivers around London. And to have each of them portrayed as an individual character was quite a successful undertaking. I also want to compliment those responsible for the artwork map on the cover of this book. No matter how many times I look at it I keep finding names of areas or a street that I recognize. I have to admit that, as an American, there were just a few times when I felt a little lost because I didn't understand some of the English slang or references, but it was certainly not anything that kept me from enjoying the novel. Book two, Moon Over Soho, is next in the series and if this one is anything to go by it should be another fascinating reading experience.

Surprisingly excellent,
This review is from: Rivers of London: 1 (Paperback)
I was given this for Christmas, and only just got around to reading it 5 months later. The back sleeve blurb put me off and I had no idea how good this was going to be. I was hooked by the end of the second page.
It reminds me of the very best Doctor Who episodes of the current writing team. Totally fantastic and improbable and even ridiculous in places, and yet mesmerising in it's telling. I think that the fantasy works so well because of the bits in between that are so believably placed in reality. In fact, the humdrum and very humourous descriptions of day to day police work are actually what make the book so entertaining in the end. (I haven't been so entertained and delighted by a book since I reread The Hobbit). I will most definitely be buying the next book in the series.

Engaging start to a new urban fantasy series,
This review is from: Rivers of London (Hardcover)
Ben Aaronovitch is a successful screenwriter who has worked mainly in the fantasy and science fiction genres. 'Rivers of London' is the first novel in the series of the same name. It's probably best described as urban fantasy.
The city in question is London, and the fantasy element arises in the intersection of the modern, gritty London we all know and another, more shadowy city in which magic is an alternative form of knowledge and the contemporary streets overlie deep strata of history, legend and myth and hidden circuits of power. Aaronovitch brings these threads together in the story of a young mixed-race constable in the Metropolitan Police who must somehow operate in both worlds to solve mysteries and crimes with a supernatural element. Aaronovitch's style will be immediately familiar to anyone who has followed British fantasy writing over the last decade. More sophisticated in the writing than J. K. Rowling, 'Rivers of London' still has a rather young-adult feel when compared to the best writers who have taken London as a rich hunting ground - I'm thinking here of Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd in particular. Perhaps more pertinently, I also found it less interesting than the work of China Miéville and Neil Gaiman. As one might expect from a novelist with Aaronovitch's professional pedigree, there are few of the typical first-novel problems. The book is carefully plotted and maintains interest throughout. Given the nature of the story, which moves fluidly between the late eighteenth century and the present day, there is a lot of research-based detail. This is woven into the texture of the narrative in a reasonably unobtrusive manner, but it's fair to say that it's Aaronovitch's fellow Londoners who are most likely to appreciate it. This London is buzzing, theatrical, multi-ethnic and relentlessly up-to-the-moment, but I felt that Aaronovitch's heart lay more in its past. There is a certain flatness in the depictions of the present-day city, as though a new set of clichés familar from recent television had supplanted the old 'cheeky Cockneys, friendly bobbies' stereotype. 'Rivers of London' is a pleasant, engaging read from a writer who promises better. Fans of modern fantasy will certainly enjoy it. It will be interesting to see how the series develops.

Absolutely nothing like what would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz,
By phoebes_mum "phoebes_mum" (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rivers of London (Hardcover)
For once an urban fantasy that actually is an urban fantasy, with not a poxy Doc Martened elf in sight, thank god: part very well researched police procedural, part Sorcerer's Apprentice - and this is a real apprenticeship, where results come from sheer slog and perseverance, not from waving a magic wand - part gruesome murder hunt, part otherworldly politicking, and part - and this is my favourite part by far - a carefully detailed map of Central London, written by one who knows and loves the place as it should be loved, all of it narrated by likeable Everyman Peter Grant, an adequate enough probationary constable who's just a bit too curious for his own good (while his colleagues are breaking up a riot in Trafalgar Square, he stops to check what's written on the lions' bums). Peter crosses the line between one world and another and, in the process, is saved from a future of data entry in the Case Progression Unit, one cold morning in Covent Garden, when he's left guarding a crime scene and a witness steps forward from St Paul's Church - a witness who has been dead for considerably longer than the body under investigation.
Rivers of London isn't perfect - there are a lot of open questions left hanging, and some of the plot resolutions don't entirely make sense - but it is bloody good, and one of the best things I've read in many years. Good enough that I went straight out and bought the sequel. In hardback. Ignore Diana Gabaldon's stupid cover blurb, by the way. I'll do her the credit of believing she was misquoted. Don't expect to learn too much about the actual lost rivers of London, though. That's a fascinating topic in itself, but one for another book entirely.

You'll want to climb inside the book and explore the world,
This review is from: Rivers of London: 1 (Paperback)
Never has a rainy afternoon impulse buy turned out to be such a gem. The author manages to create characters you feel an attachment to quite effortlessly, without ever resorting to overly-long backstories or tedious details. In fact, it's so well done that I hadn't even realised the attachment until one of them is placed in jeopardy and I found myself surprised at how worried I was they would come through it.
The magic and fantasy aspect has a consistency so strong you could almost believe it *could* exist in real life and the faithful use of London landmarks and realistic (but never intrusive) portrayal of police procedure really helps to sustain the illusion that this is a world just out of reach of our own - but only barely so. Ultimately you can judge a book by how you feel at the end. The end left me sad that it was over and desperate to see more of the characters and the world they live in. Also, I've never before experienced a book that left you seeing familiar places in a new way, but after reading Rivers of London I find myself looking at Covent Garden and other places differently - and that's a nice feeling.

This review is from: Rivers of London (PC Peter Grant Book Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
This book is fun. It's the sort of book you read to find out the whodunnit and then re-read for the sheer joy of the characters and intricasies of the plot. Once again, however, I fell foul of the drawback of Kindle ownership . . . I know my son will love this book. Do I lend him my Kindle or do I buy him the paperback? This makes me side with the people who complain about the price fixing of e-books, this is expensive. In the old days I'd just pass on my copy and believe me this a book you'll want to recommend to others. I've already pre-ordered the next one.

American Gods for England,
By Becca (Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rivers of London: 1 (Paperback)
Rivers of London took a lot of getting in to. It was one of those books I had picked up four or five times before, only to become disinterested after a couple of pages. It has sat on my bookshelf for over a year, mournfully watching as other books were taken out and rushed through, and I finally caved in and determined to read it last week.
The best way to describe the experience of reading the book was to say that it explains everything and nothing. It's written in the first person perspective, and Aaronovitch is a star at describing both characters and London locales, but when Peter Grant realises something about the case he's investigating it's not always relayed terribly well to the reader. This is fine for normal police procedural books, but when you factor in the mythos Aaronovitch is trying to build, sometimes it can lead to a bit of confusion. Especially when Grant is told what to do, but doesn't share these instructions at all - and then he carries them out and you're left wondering how much of them were instructions and how much him winging it, which doesn't allow the reader to evaluate how well Grant is doing with his training. And really, this is the only fault I can find with the book. The rest of it is simply stellar. Well-written, plot-driven and with a wry sense of humour, it felt as though I were reading a Neil Gaiman book as seen through Terry Pratchett's lens, and then finally written down by M. R. James. (I can't agree with the quote on the front that boasts it's like Harry Potter but for grown-ups, because A) Harry Potter is already for grown ups and B) the tone and story of the book feels nothing like Harry Potter, at all, ever. So if you picked it up for that, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.) It's not for everyone and can be pretty gory and disturbing at times given the eventual culprit, but if you're a fan of realistic fantasy then I'd definitely recommend it. Just give it a few pages.

A very different police procedural,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Rivers of London (PC Peter Grant Book Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
A typical London copper, at the end of his first two years on the beat, stumbles into a case involving ghosts, magic and river deities. Enough to give anyone pause, but to make matter worse, Pc Peter Grant finds himself seconded to the Met Police team who deal with "weird stuff" - meaning that a malevolent spirit haunting central London and its inhabitants doesn't mean he doesn't have to do his paperwork.
It's an interesting mix of magic realism and standard police procedural, and Aaranovitch has created a likeable main character in Peter Grant, fresh out of uniform, quite taken with the magic, but already carrying a practised air of world-weariness. The books has a fun, interesting concept, decent pacing, and a decent cast of characters. All in all, a good, fun read.

I read this for a book group and was captivated in the first paragraph. The story is a complicated read (for me anyway!) but stick with it because it is fascinating and exciting. It really gripped my imagination and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I ordered the next book in the series and pre-booked the 3rd one.

I have no idea why this book is compared with 'if Harry Potter joined the fuzz', because it's far and away more original than that. A gripping and fun book with great little insights to life in the Police it has clearly been a labour of love with the amount of research that it has taken to make to book as good as it is, very well done! A series to love and author to watch I will be ordering the next book and hope for many more.
