Geovany Soto. Jurickson Profar. Matt Harrison. Derek Holland. Yu Darvish (potentially.) The Texas Rangers are not having the best final weeks of Spring Training.
The injuries for the Rangers are, on their own, nothing major. Missing Soto (torn meniscus, out 10-12 weeks) and Profar (tear in shoulder muscle, out 10-12 weeks) isn't the end of the world – in a vacuum. But stacking all these DL stints on top of each other and the Rangers…well the Rangers have reason for concern. They still boast a great middle of the order with Shin-Soo Choo, Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, and Alex Rios. Elvis Andrus is back after a shutting down for a week after a sore throwing arm. The Rangers are still good.
The AL West got turned upside-down by injuries this month. The A's lost pitchers to the surgeon's knife and now the Rangers spat of injuries throws an already tight division wide open. Can any of the teams afford to drop games, knowing the could easily have three teams to topple in pursuit of playoff glory? It isn't as though the Rangers farm system teems with young replacements, as it once did.
Rangers GM Jon Daniels on Garza deal w/Cubs. "I thought way too short term w/that deal. That one's got a chance to haunt us + haunt me."
— David Kaplan (@thekapman) March 23, 2014
Texas has the most talent on both sides of the ball and if ever a team could absorb this type of hit, it's them. But running up against the dreaded "stars and scrubs" becomes a real possibility when you recall Adrian Beltre's age/miles ( on the odometer and the challenging nature of baseball in Arlington.
Sliding catchers up the depth chart is always a dicey proposition, while the promise of Jurickson Profar is not quite the same as the reality of oft-release Adam Rosales, now the Rangers starting second baseman. More Joe Saunders starts are bad for your health, while Neftali Feliz wonders where his future lies. Lots of questions for the Rangers to answer in the season's opening months.
Can a team best known for hot starts and fades down the stretch manage to turn this negative into a positive? If they use the injuries as rest periods and build toward the end of the season, they could be fine. Just don't let Mariners, Angels, and A's slip out of sight.

October 2014 Exhibit: Teen Read Week/Hispanic Heritage Month
This year the theme for October's Teen Read Week is Turn Dreams into Reality @ your Library. This "national adolescent literacy initiative created by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) … began in 1998 and is held annually during the third week of October (October 12-18 in 2014). Its purpose is to encourage teens to be regular readers and library users." On the YALSA website you'll find a Teen Corner which offers you a chance to vote from among twenty-five nominated titles, to help determine the Top Ten Young Adult books. Most of those books can be found in the Erwin Library.
To enrich your experience of Teen Read Week, the selection of Young Adult books on display in the Erwin Library Circulation Desk area are either about Hispanic culture, or written by Hispanic authors, since September 15-October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S. To learn more about other Young Adult books on Hispanic themes, or by Hispanic authors, explore YALSA's YA Fiction for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Reading and literature: We will continue slowly learning about phonics and working on reading (his interest, his pace). I will try to read to them as much as I can during the day. DH also reads to them almost every night from a chapter book (right now it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).
We are deliberately NOT doing handwriting practice or any math curriculum-- that would be too much structure for us at this age, IMO. Plenty of math talk and exploration comes up in our daily life.
We will do "circle time" with him and his younger brother, my preschooler, almost every day. Circle time takes about 30 minutes, and during circle time we will sing a few songs, reinforce themes and ideas they are focusing on in Sunday school, talk about the weather, the calendar, and then do a little activity (usually arts and crafts something).
DH and I are also starting (again) to learn Spanish, so I will be sharing that with the boys, somehow, too. Maybe work some of that into circle time.
We will go for nature walks as much as we can, and also we have a membership to a couple of local museums.
I would like to get DS into gymnastics or martial arts or something as well, but I don't know if we will be able to afford it this year.
I think that about covers it. I am excited for the coming school year.

We are a very nature-based family. We hike deep into the forests at least once a week, and have found so many wonderful ways to incorporate hands-on learning into our hikes.
We also do lots of reading together as a family. I have a loose set of ideas for a kindy curriculum, but we are following my son's lead. Right now, he is very interested in nature, animals and science.
Even though we've been learning together all along, my son knows we'll "start" kindergarten after his first birthday, and he's been saying, "I'm so excited! I can't wait!"
dd will turn 5 in october, so she's not required to register until next year. i would start her in a couple of weeks with the school system, but i'm 36 weeks pg and there's no point in starting now only to stop for 6 weeks in a month or so. so we'll start up mid October with Ambleside's Year 0 program. i really like the CM method based on what i've read, so we'll give that a try. she already reads and writes so i'm more interested in getting her to love to read more books and we'll probably start regular math exercises too.

I'm scared to death.
So far...we have the Five in a Row and Muquon math. I feel like I pretty much have NO IDEA what I'm doing or how to go about all this.
Every day I keep meaning to figure SOMETHING out...I just haven't yet.
I'm so excited!!!
(we are using Enki, OM and some other random things as far as curriculum goes)
I am stumped on history/social studies. I am trying to stay relax so I am not interested in an intense history of the world curric. We do have a US map, a globe, some US state & president flashcards, Magic Tree House books & some videos about firefighters & trains...other than that I don't know what to look for. What are you doing in these areas?
Our state standards are:
- recognize US symbols (flag, eagle, white house etc..)
- understand the idea of being a good citizen
- recognize people in the community & what they do (police, fire, doctor, etc...)
- use a calendar
- understand that history relates to people & places of other times
Cheryl, wife to an amazing man, homeschooling SAHM to Gavin 12/03, Rhys 09/06, and Ian Aug 11, 2010.
Horizons Preschool - Bible, tracing, writing, arts/crafts
Singapore Earlybird B - math
Horizons Phonics/Reading K - phonics and reading
I don't have to report until 6 years old so we'll see where it goes!
I also supplement with extra math practice in the form of worksheets (my DD loooooooooves them lol) and I'll be going more into time and money practice as well.
I'm going to build around that using activities and read-alouds from "What your Kindergartner Needs to Know".
Sticking with Saxon math. We love it. We're finishing K and I've bought 1st grade. (that's another 15-20 mins/lesson 3-4 times/week)
He gets enough handwriting through his OT. I'm so over it.
Beyond that, it's all enrichment stuff. We're diving HARD into foreign language--following his interest in it (since said interest has lasted beyond 6mo). We're going to see about Spanish and French (I speak French and we all need to learn Spanish).
If he's still into the violin after his summer lessons, we'll do that.
And this year we're really going to work on his gross motor skills since they were noted concerning during his evals this year (he's been special ed for 2 years). He'll continue with his 30 mins/week swimming and we're adding 1 hour/week at "MyGym" (kind of a multifaceted gross motor fun class).
Last, we're adding more nature to the deal. A pp said they hike deep into the woods once/week and I honestly don't know why we don't do that more. So I'm going to get a backpack for the baby and give it a go! The reservation has a nature center that runs 1-hour activities for 4-6yos and hopefully we'll get in early enough to sign up for the really messy water stuff (finding salamanders and the like).
I think that's plenty. He wants to do a Creative Drama class for K-2 but I'm thinking it may be a bit much.
That being said, if the schedule proves to be too overwhelming (and really, it sounds worse than it is--we had a similar situation this past year), the actual school-y stuff gets ditched in favor of the other activities... this year.

I am definitely looking for a good globe that a younger child can use for DS this upcoming year. Any ideas for a good one or should I just get a regular one?
I am going to incorporate letterboxing/geocaching into homeschool fun somehow.
Looking for ideas for writing..any links to good sites with free worksheets? isn't there a site where you can make your own?
Definitely giving Saxon math a go!!!
Oh we are going to make up our own bookclub too..not sure how exactly but something with a common theme of some sort each month..then we'll do activities/fieldtrip..
what do you feel are essential kindergarten skills? (I will post mine later when I have more time)
we also are using herbal roots and learning about plants,botany, biology,etc.!
I am not sure what else..and obviously some overlap into sciences.. I am stumped on history/social studies. I am trying to stay relax so I am not interested in an intense history of the world curric. We do have a US map, a globe, some US state & president flashcards, Magic Tree House books & some videos about firefighters & trains...other than that I don't know what to look for.

And I guess this is why the enrichment stuff I'm planning takes priority over academics if time doesn't accommodate all of them.
I know the majors for our district are:
* Knowing letters and letter sounds
* Starting to print letters (with end of year doing so on a drawn line)
* Understanding "pulse"/beat in music (being able to pick up the beat and clap with it)
* Knowing the primary colors and understanding they can be combined to make secondary colors
* Being able to tell time (on the hour--not the increments)
* Identifying coins
* Counting to 100
* Understanding that a map is a way of knowing where something is
I can't remember the rest. It came up during my argument that my son didn't need to attend a classroom program to receive SpEd services since he's so far ahead that he'd be bored and therefore misbehaved.

I would love to get this, but can't seem to find it for an affordable price. I got the 1st grade level, but it's a bit too advanced for my 1st grader (she's a bit behind grade wise.)
The book series "Learn at Home" is VERY, VERY similar. In fact, I think that McGraw Hill bought out the series from Instructional Fair/TS Denison and then replaced it with that series. It's pretty good and has color worksheets and stuff - the layout is a little more user friendly and you can find those books for $10 or so shipped used on abebooks, amazon, half.com, etc
For the HEC: K, you might check homeschoolclassifieds.com

DD1 is going to be 4 in December and has surpassed all the kindergarten knowledge stuff, she's already reading and she's been asking to "do school" so I've picked three themes based on her interests to explore this year; dinosaurs, astronomy and the human body.
I have no plans on doing anything scheduled so much as I want a list of activities to do that we can pick from as she wants.
Here's what I've got so far. It's mostly reading and crafts.
story books
non-fiction books (they have puzzles to put together and field guide stuff)
paint a dinosaur
make play dough dinosaurs
make dino puppets
make dino fossils/tracks (with plaster of paris)
paper mache volcano
dig a fossil kit
misc crafts
dinosaurs movies
Human Body;
"Me and My Amazing Body"
"Big Book of the Human Body" pop up kinda book
stethoscope for listening to her heart
"There's No Place Like Space"
viewing of planets, the moon, nebulas etc (we have a really great telescope)
viewing of meteor showers
make a model solar system
I'm still brainstorming so if anyone has any idea let me know.
There's a PE class a twice a week and a Story Time/Art Project Class twice a month with our homeschooling group. We'll also do field trips once a month with our homeschooling group.
Circle Time - Bible, Pledge of Allegiance, Calendar, weather, rhymes/songs
Read Aloud/Shared Reading
Language Arts
Free Play
Quiet reading time (my DD LOVES to read and look at books)
Free Play
Hit up on other areas that we want to hit on that day/week.
In the evenings her and DH will be going through the Brand New Readers.
She has been interested in learning to play the violin so she will be starting lessons soon. She also participates in ballet and swim lessons so she will be doing those throughout the week. We live in the mountains so we also go on nature hikes and talk about everything around us.
Our language arts will touch art, science, history, ect... and we have plans to travel the world and discover the oceans, continients and defferent cultures.
What am I missing?
I was wanting more of a loose structure, but since I have to go back to work pt and will be going to school pt I NEED a schedule to go by.
We are getting ready to dive in! I keep changing my mind on curriculum though! eek!
Btw, I wanted to ask what kind of phonics curriculum/activities/etc. will you be using? (if you are using phonics at all) Looking for something engaging...
heatherdeg- thanks for the list. I need to put mine together still, though I have a general idea..and it's just kindergarten. I am starting to stress a bit as I organize curriculum for the coming weeks. I just really fear I will forget something pertinent!
We have started some math and handwriting stuff thus far but just kinda easing into it.
I have learned to read through the lessons and determine if I REALLY need to gather a a dozen pennies, a length of string, a hand mirror, two potatoes and a walnut to teach the material, or if it's something he is already familiar with and I should just hand him the damn workbook and get on with my life.
Handwriting Without Tears is not always without tears. I am really looking forward to getting OT services lined up for the year.
April: Hooked on Phonics was a tremendous success in this house - the map that tracks progress was a big motivator. And I got it for $30 on sale, which I though was a great value.

It just depends on what you child is ready for, but I looked at my states standards for K & I was surprised at how little actual 'reading' is expected. They only need to read simple 1 syllable words & some high frequency (sight) words. Hope that helps!
Forgot to add that when I was looking at phonics programs I decided when we are ready we will also try the Click N Read Phonics online program. I think my DS will learn better with the interactive aspect of the program. It is $60 & does k-3rd grade, but you keep the program forever & can use it again with other kids too.
Cheryl, wife to an amazing man, homeschooling SAHM to Gavin 12/03, Rhys 09/06, and Ian Aug 11, 2010.
i have rebecca rupp's book "home learning year by year" and it is awesome!!! i refer to it throughout the year for both of my kids. she tells you what your child *should* know at each grade level (according to PS standards) & list resources that are very fun.
DD1 would be starting K in just over a week if we were doing public school! Wow, that makes me a little sad...
I'd say we are somewhere between doing K and 1st this year. She has always been on the upper end of things developmentally. In June I started looking into what should be accomplished in K and realized she'd already done all of it except K phonics. Well, we started K Hooked on Phonics right after Father's Day & are about 3/4 of the way through it. But we don't do it every day. Probably 3-4 days a week? I expect she'll finish the K phonics by the end of September.
So, most of this year will be more 1st stuff. I think we're going to keep on with the Hooked on Phonics. It's working for her, she enjoys it, I enjoy that it's really no work to sit & plan and that it can be very flexible (ie: no set # of pages to do each day).
We're also doing math with a very basic workbook my Mom got her last year called "I can Add and Subtract". It covers single & double digit addition & subtraction, plus simple word problems for both. We have a set of manipulative blocks that she uses (which we lucked into from another homeschool mom off Freecycle!). Again, not daily. 1-3 pg a week. There are about 15 problems per page. DH also enjoys making up random work sheets for her. The most recent one was learning what charts are, the meaning of rows, columns, & coordinates, and what we use them for. He's also been doing some flashcards with her.
She already writes all her capital letters fine, but needs some work on the handwriting part & is confused with a few of her lower case letters (b & d especially). As it happens my Mom had also gotten her an "I Can Write" workbook, so we're doing a couple lines in that a couple times a week.
No science curricula to speak of yet. She will get a lot of science at our twice monthly 4H meetings. I'm going to be a co-leader. We'll be covering most the basic farm animals (poultry, goats, sheep, llamas, horses, rabbits). My co-leader actually owns all of those except horses, which another Mom in the group owns, so the kids will get to be hands on with them in the fall & again in the spring at birthing time. We're also doing a unit on forestry with lots of hiking, getting a guide to do tree ID'ing with us, basic woodworking skills, nature projects and the like. I'm sure other stuff will turn up over the course of the year as well. We do a lot of hiking and biking, so spend a fair amount of time just studying nature and talking about stuff as it comes up. We're also starting a nature basket for the girls to look through, especially in the winter months. Things like shells from the beach, nuts off trees, feathers, interesting rocks, etc. I like the CM idea of nature study & notebooks, but don't know that she's quite there yet. Oh, and hubby likes to do a lot of random science projects with her, so she gets that as well.
For history/social sciences I have Story of the World Vol 1, but am not doing anything with it yet. I'm debating when I want to start that. We also have a 2 1/2 yo DD and I've been doing Vol 1 of Five in a Row with them. I'm thinking about sticking with FIAR for awhile because it can be used for both of them, whereas SotW is really only good for DD1.
And of course, there is all the regular reading storybooks we do each day. Lots and lots of real/living books. We did recently take Lang's "Red Fairy Book" out of the library & DH discovered that they really like having the stories read to them while we're sitting in the car waiting for whatever, so I think I'm going to institute a non-picture read-a-loud book that will remain in the car & be our "car reading".
She also does tap once a week, and will either be in soccer or gymnastics as well this fall.
Gee, that sounds like a lot when it's all written out, but it's really not. There are plenty of days that we don't do any offical "school" at all. Overall I'm keeping things very low key. I don't keep a schedule or anything like that. Just work through everything at our own pace. I have a binder where I keep work that isn't in workbooks & a notebook where I started casually recording specific things we've done each day (this is mostly so we have some sort of records in case the school audits us).
I'd say we're eclectic, with a WTM/CM bent.
I've found them to be a nice compliment to the Hooked on Phonics. Also, the disc that comes with the deluxe edition of HOP is good for reinforcement.
Also, if you're thinking about a particular program & are part of a homeschool group in your area check with the other Moms before you buy. I was able to borrow K HOP from a homeschooling friend, and will likely borrown 1st HOP from my best friend whose boys go to PS. If nothing else they may let you browse the curriculum to really SEE if you think it will work before you buy it.

Nice Jacket overall. The cuffs are snap only, and the snaps blow, so plan on your cuffs flapping around all day. Its warm enough, and waterproof enough, and the black and yellow colors are sweet. Not too flashy, actually look like an old flannel.

This shirt (any shirt) from nomis is the perfect fit. The 5% spandex in the shirt gives it the perfect amount of stretch, so it never loses its shape. It's very soft, and breathable enough to wear in the hot summer months.

These are great mittens, but there are a few issues. They will keep you very warm, but they keep a lot of moisture in. If your hands sweat, your hands will be wet all day. Also, the zipper on the gloves is hard to close, but I have been told this is an issue they have recognized and are tweaking it for the 09 model. It's a great looking glove, that will keep you warm.

This shirt is definitely unique. It has this new material that is pretty hard to describe. But layer the xl tall size over one of those Large or XLarge tall shirts(depending on how many times you've washed it) from footlocker and your rollin.

4 outta 5. Riding is top notch. Everyone kills it including Mitch Reed, Jeremy Jones, and Mark Landvik with ender. I can see some people not getting into it because half of the songs are pretty mellow. Not really a video you watch before you go snowboarding either... but still... 4 outta 5.

K-12 and higher education
technology for the classroom.
Recent developments in education, triggered by movements such as the SCALE-UP project, have forced schools to rethink the design of their classrooms and created a need for new and innovative classroom technology.
With its stability and ease of use, the wePresent wireless presentation system is the perfect solution for this type of environment.
More than 50 colleges and universities across the US have adopted the SCALE-UP or TEAL approach to implementing technology. These forward-thinking institutions are looking for classroom technology solutions that easily adapt to the BYOD culture and allow students to have better collaboration. This is just one of many reasons that wePresent should be in your classroom.
The TEAL project, initiated at MIT with physics professor John Belcher, is a classroom design that includes multiple projectors, video cameras, white boards, an instructor work station, group tables, and networked laptops and was developed to engage students and promote teamwork.
This "How To" guide from the University of Tennessee Knoxville shows how to setup and use a Smart Room at your school.
The wePresent wireless presentation system is a true BYOD-enabled gateway.
Compatible with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android, wePresent allows students to bring any device into the classroom
to collaborate, give a wireless presentation, or participate in the classroom discussions.
With an abundance of network settings, wePresent easily adapts to a school's rigorous security environment.
wePresent also offer an abundance of features that are perfect for education, like its conference control feature.
wePresent works with AV integrators and online resellers across the country such as CDWg, PC-Connection, Tiger Direct, and more and offers bulk discounts to schools.
Most of our online resellers and AV Integrators offer on-site demonstrations of the wePresent wireless presentation system, so you can see it work in your environment.
wePresent was designed to be able to be deployed across companies or campuses and used in multiple classrooms, offices, and conference rooms at the same time.
The WiFi signal can be encrypted and wePresent supports the IEEE standard 64/128 bit WEP/WAP/WPA2-PSK network security. wePresent can also generate a random on-screen login code.

TEAC A717 Phono Op Amp Problem
I've encountered a TEAC A717 that has shot noise in one Phono channel when either Ceramic or Magnetic settings are fed by a known good record player.
The biasing on the 845808 Op Amp is wrong. The working channel shows the inputs to be biased at 7.8 volts and the noisey channel to be biased at 0 volts, the opposite of what I expected to find. Any help with a circuit diagram, an identifiable number for the Op Amp and any previous experience with this amp would be appreciated. It's performance and power (100 watts per channel) on the non-Phono channels has justified the effort in recovering the dead left channel (shorted Power Transistors) so far. Lectran |

That amp has really an input for ceramic cartridges?? If so, then the amp is at least from the 60ies...? That contradicts a bit with your mentioning of an opamp, so please explain!
Have fun, Hannes

I stripped a Teac A-919DC down, and this had both MM and MC phono input, using a 6458DS op-amp, and some 2SK170 jfets. It's from the mid-80's at a guess.

Ah I see!
The amp is from the 80ies but the gentleman is a bit older MC=moving coil not ceramic Probably just a cold solder joint. Have fun, Hannes

All soldered joints are fine. I think the phono channel has been overloaded by having a higher output device plugged into it and possibly blown the JFets, at least. Lectran |

This is quite probably the case if your TEAC was like mine - the MM/MC setting was a knob on the front panel ! I thought this was absolutely absurd as it's a setting you are not going to want to change once connected up, and doing so can cause damage as you indicated.
I must admit that overall I didn't think much of the amp's design. It had a single pair of 2SC2565/2SA1095 with 71V rails, and inverted right hand channel for some reason. It did work but the temptation to strip it for parts and build something new was too great! |

Thanks for the info.
The rails as I recall them were +- 50 volts. I replaced the power transistors on the blown channel with those used in the KD-261 which are higher power, voltage, current, Hfe etc, etc. Lectran |

Breakfast Topic: Healers are the drummers of WoW {WoW}
Jan 7th 2010 8:05AM I would disagree. If the tank's no good, no matter how good the healer, they won't be able to keep the DPS alive if they keep pulling aggro, and they won't be able to keep themselves alive if they pull healing aggro.
On the other side, I've seen tanks that can take trash packs and bosses in heroics without dying, so as long as they heal themselves up before each pull, they should be ok without a competant healer.

Breakfast Topic: The gap {WoW}
Sep 21st 2009 8:45AM After taking a 6 month break, I decided to return to WoW on a char which was my main in TBC and abandoned at the start of WLK. It's a feral druid that I had intended on gearing for DPS, but after about 3 weeks of ToC5, heroics, VoA and Naxx I found myself successfully tanking ToC10 with only two wipes on Faction Champs (mainly due to lack of PvP experience).
I think it's never been easier to gear up if you're committed. Heroic badges can get you up to ilvl 226 gear and a combination of VoA and dailies will get you a steady trickle of badges to buy ilvl 245 gear :S My main advice is to just spec DPS in order to gear up both DPS and tank sets, since most tanks already have all the gear they want and are only grinding heroics for badges. When you feel ready, dual spec for tanking and then just offer to tank to your abilities, starting off with easy guild heroics and working up to 25 man PuGs :P

Breakfast Topic: Manners {WoW}
Mar 18th 2009 8:15AM Unfortunately I think a lot of people use the anonymity of the internet to their benefit, especially in pug runs. They think that they can ninja stuff, get moaned at for 5 mins, then disappear and never feel the repercussions of their actions. This is exactly the same reasons flame wars start on forums... No one would say that kind of thing to someone face in real life if they were standing next to them, would they?
Others I guess are just tempted by something they've strived after for so long. Some guild never saw DSTs in BC and pug runs to Gruul on my server could get pretty dicey if one dropped. I've heard of previously respectable guild members going nuts and needing on Glaives and immediately /gquitting.
If anything, the latter saddens me more. The first kind are just plain dicks, but the others are generally nice people who are caught in a moment of madness that they often can't take back.
Breakfast Topic: The noob old days {WoW}
Mar 1st 2009 9:24AM My first char was a huntard. After getting to leve 20 or so by buying new gear every single level, maximising my armor and neglecting all other stats, I realised that I was still taking loads of damage when meleeing and decided to quit the game...
When I came back, I rerolled a warrior and skilled up Skinning and Leatherworking because I had them on my hunter and knew how they worked...
I also didn't learn Taunt until about level 50 because I rationaled that "Why would I want the mob to hit me if it's already on someone else? I want some kind of reverse taunt to get it off me!"... *shakes head*
After that I got pretty well schooled by the MT in my first guild who said that DPS warrs were uselss and that Prot was the only tree worth speccing into :( Needless to say, it took rerolling another couple of mains and swapping to a proper raiding guild to know that was all rubbish!

Hundreds dismissed due to wage hike
- Published: 8 Jan 2013 at 12.13 | Viewed: 7,356 | Comments: 13
- Online news:
- Writer: Online Reporters
Since the government's blanket enforcement of the 300-baht daily minimum wage took effect nationwide on Jan 1, 275 workers had been sacked in the first four days of the year, Labour Minister Padermchai Sasomsap said on Tuesday.

According to the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare, four factories had been hard hit by the government's wage policy and had dismissed a total of 275 workers between Jan 1 and 4.
"Two more factories will likely sack another 480 workers soon and there are five other factories that appear to have liquidity problems and the contracts of 999 workers there will expire," Mr Padermchai said.
Finance permanent secretary Areepong Bhucha-oom confirmed the Ministry of Finance will propose five measures to ease the impact of the new 300 baht daily minimum wage on small- and medium-sized businesses to the cabinet meeting today.
Mr Padermchai said last week the first proposal was to reduce official fees collected from small- and medium-sized hotels by 50% for three years. The fee currently stands at 80 baht per occupied room.
The second involves organising workshops to develop the skills of workers in educational institutions and companies.
The other proposals include increasing the payment for organising government-sponsored seminars, so that private firms involved would get more revenue, organising events to sell consumer products at cheap prices, and tax reductions for SMEs, down from 3% to 2%.
Mr Areepong said on Monday that the Finance Ministry will ask the cabinet to consider raising the income tax exemption limit from 150,000 baht to 300,000 baht for small- and medium-enterprises with annual revenue below 50 million baht.

I have this grass everywhere. The only thing I can say good about it is, that the birds seem to love it. I had dozens of what looked like Finch all over my lawn today. Other birds seem to like it also. It has a very thick root system, but does not go very deep. It gives me more problems than Bermuda. Thanks, Larry |

Its not the Dallisgrass I have had before. Trying to go back 60+ years, I am thinking we called it chicken grass or wire grass, but that is a long time for this old mind to go back, and that may not have been the name of it then. I tried to take a closer picture. Larry |

An old alfalfa farmer I know calls it Smooth Brome, not sure if that is spelled right. He always says its his favorite grass besides alfalfa. Kim |

Larry I showed it to my friend and he said that's not smooth brome it looks like wild oats. I don't know about either one but just passing that along. kim |
We had it in Texas and we have it here. Neil Sperry always called it poa annua when callers to his radio show described it and he ID'd it for them, so I've always known it as poa annual and never knew that poa annua was blue grass. I guess I could have looked up poa annua to learn its common name, but never did. I like it because it greens up early and I can pull it up and throw it onto the compost piles with the chopped and shredded leaves from the fall. The poa annua, when added to those chopped and shredded leaves, add enough nitrogen to get the compost cooking in the late winter and early spring. What's not to like about that? I should add I pull it up from garden beds, and I just leave it alone in the yard because it will get mowed down along with everything else. |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 28, 14 at 9:31
Dawn, I don't pull it up in the lawn either. The roots are very thick and always pull out a small clump of soil with the plant. My soil is very thin and I have none to loose. |

I wanted to protect the new upholstery with the comfiest cover I could get: sheepskin, in luxurious black. It's almost as soft as lambskin, but hopefully a lot sturdier. My husband installed them; it took a couple of hours, and a decent amount of hand and arm strength. The holes for the headrests were not quite in the correct position. One elastic strap for the drivers seat goes over a control which is a bit annoying, but I still love the covers.

Fellow KYMers, THE HUMBLE BUNDLE IS BACK I'M SO EXCITED yay!
What is this "Humble Bundle", you ask? Only the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Remember back in 2007 when Radiohead did that pay whatever you want for their album In Rainbows and it was a massive success (inb4 Fridge Logic YES OMFG)? Some guys decided to take that concept and make it a whole lot awesomer by expanding it to games. As in not just one game, but a whole slew of them. All for the unholy price of pay whatever you want. And these are some really, really good games, might I remind you. They all unlock on Steam, which is very, very nice, and the money goes to both developers and charity (you choose how to distribute it).
Although they usually feature indie games, this time around they've expanded to mainstream games for whatever the reason. I ain't complaining. Right now they have the games Company of Heroes (and expansions Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor), Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction: Armageddon up. Pay. Whatever. You. Want. Srsly. These are some amazingly high quality games (really high profile too), normally going for a good $20+ a pop, and at this price, only a stupidhead would pass this up (no offense to stupidheads of course). Even if you had all of them but one, you would stand to lose nothing. Got none? Even better.
It's Gabe Newell supported, mind you, and Notch too (not that that guy matters). Just think, all those games filling up your Steam list.
And seriously guys, don't be cheap. The developers behind these games work really, really hard, and deserve every last cent for it. You can do $1 if you want, but then you're just taking advantage of them (more than you should be doing), and all that bandwidth just loses them money. Might as well be pirating at that point. The point is, the gaming industry is really messed up and paranoid right now, throwing spyware and DRM and SecuROM on everything in a misguided attempt to stop piracy, and it is extremely refreshing for a company like THQ to stand up and say, "Hey, this ain't right. Why are we screwing over consumers when they're are the ones who are buying our products? We should do our best to take care of them." And it's about time.
And if none of that fazes you cold hearted little Grinchy self, they're offering Saints Row: The Third as a bonus if you beat the average (around $6.00 last time I checked).
So what are you waiting for? Humble Bundle awayyy

Those dapper gentlemen -- be-suited in black and white, beholden of rugged good looks and sheer rock'n'roll brilliance -- The Hives, have gotten in bed with Dew Process for a sexy little hook up for their forthcoming album due out in the first half of 2010.
With their garage rock swagger, The Hives carved a niche in the early naughties. Singles 'Idiot Walk' and 'Hate To Say I Told You So' are staples on indie dance floors across the world. From their 1997 debut "Barely Legal" through to their 2000 follow up "Veni, Vidi, Vicious" and their hit album full of killer singles "Your New Favourite Band", The Hives have stood out from the pack. In 2004 "Tyrannosaurus Hives" added another string to their bow, which garnered further worldwide critical and commercial acclaim.
The Hives hit Australian shores for Falls Festivals, Southbound and Sunset Sounds last year blowing minds with hits from "The Black and White Album" including the massive 'Tick, Tick, Boom'. It was hot, hot, hot and not just because of the Australian summer. With Howlin' Pelle Almquist at the helm, the Swedish rockers melted many a pounding heart.
For a bit of fun this Christmas, the five Royal Princes of Hives take us into the holiday season with a on-off Yule-tide tribute with the Queen of Queens from Queens, Cyndi Lauper.
Dubbed 'A Christmas Duel' it's a love song duet without the sentiment, with the opening line in Howlin' Pelle Almquist's dulcet tones intimating "I bought no gift this year/and I slept with your sister!" matched by Cyndi Lauper's trademark yewl of "I bought no tree this year/and I slept with your brother/I wrecked your daddy's car/and went down on your mother".
A tongue-in-cheek track getting to the heart of Christmas cynicism, we mean cheer, with the rousing chorus "Let's spend, spend spend/this Christmas together", our protagonists get through their cheating, boozing ways to come together for the holidays. "A Christmas Duel" will be available for free download from this site on Monday!
Our real present to you in the form of a brand new album from The Hives is due out in the first half of 2010 through Dew Process.
Having just released the first teaser 'Crazy' taken from the band's forthcoming debut LP due out mid-2015, Brisbane's Art of Sleeping announce an east coast tour of the same name. Shortly after their scheduled performances on some of the countries biggest stages over the New Year at Falls Festival, the band are set to take the stage in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this Summer.

Upwards of 100 police officers from around the Garden State and the Lehigh Valley gathered in Alpha New Jersey. They came to honor the life and service of Phillipsburg Police officer.
Bobby Amey's death wasn't sudden but it was slow. Cancer took down this 9-year vet. The 35-year-old died Tuesday, after a two year battle with Leukemia.
"We were over at his house last Sunday watching the game. Seeing him with Hunter, he pretty much knew it. Bob did," long time friend Terry Merante shared with us.
This time, Hunter, Bob's one year old son, was on his mom's knee, as she was handed a folded American flag.
"He was a natural for the job, he knew when to be stern, when to be compassionate," Phillipsburg Police Chief Joe Faulborn said.
Bobby didn't battle cancer alone. His fight brought the community together.
Blood drives and fund raisers were held.
In 2010 Bobby accepted a signed jersey from then New York Jet's wide receiver Braylon Edwards
Just this past September Christina Wilson, a childhood friend and reality TV chef winner cooked Bob dinner during his recovery.
In the end this was a fight Bobby couldn't beat. But one many will always remember.
Bobby is survived by his wife Nicole, son Hunter and step-daughter Haylee.

Has there been any further development on this ???
Personally, I believe its a conspiracy
They are holding back this feature deliberatly right now - to make sure we buy their new devices in the future which does have it !!
FYI I asked EOps when they would have an SDIO version of their tv tuner...their reply:
"We plan to release an SDIO TV tuner for pocket pc around August this year." (2005)

Hi All! :wave:
30-Somethings - 30 Something's Daily Chat: Wed, 4/1View Full Version : 30 Something's Daily Chat: Wed, 4/1 LBH 04-01-2009, 12:00 PM Hi All! :wave: Devsmama 04-01-2009, 12:53 PM Hello! FitSarah 04-01-2009, 01:00 PM Good Morning Ladies! Well, this day is starting just as slowly as the other two this week, LOL, only thing is I AM OFF TODAY! so, I seem to have "more time to kill" you know? I just got the kitchen cleaned, need to move to my still massive heap of laundry and then I'll get my workout in. I am in for the April Challenge and I've challenged myself to lose 10lbs by the end of this month. I think that's quite attainable. I did something to be happy about this morning...after picking up DD from 1/2 kindergarten, I almost went to Starbucks and got a Vivanno. Yes, I had the cash in hand...and then I thought "self, do you need those 270 calories?" and self said "no" so, I drove home. I just need to figure out what I want to do this morning exercise wise. I have the treadmill, the elliptical, the bike, p90x, and wii fit to choose from. I'd like to get in an hour. The way I'm looking at it right now though, it will probably be more like 30-45min tops. I have bunches of stuff to do this afternoon. I don't know where you all are from - since I'm pretty new to this board...but, do any of you have those "Hot Pots" pottery places in your area? Well, I'll explain what it is, for those who don't know. Hot Pots is a place where you pick a piece of pottery out, and paint it with the glaze (any color or colors etc.) and decorate it and they fire it and you have this beautiful piece of artwork. Last week on Spring Break, my mom, dad, the kids and I went to Hot Pots to do some pottery. Well, this afternoon we are picking them up! I can't wait to see them. I did mine with my little one's footprints. He was a preemie and never got footprints in the hospital. He is now almost 9mos old, but, even still...I wanted to have footprints of his. So, we painted his little feeties and put them on the pottery. I wrote his name and the year beneath it and decorated it. My oldest DS made a hummingbird to give to his sister and my DD made a squirrel to give to her older brother. My father made a family tree with everyone's name on it (including our cat and dog). I can't wait to see them! My mother didn't do one, she helped me with mine and held LO when needed! What's everyone eating today? I still have no oven, so I wonder what I'll crock or make on the stovetop. TTYL, Sarah squeak351 04-01-2009, 01:26 PM Hey guys! Boy am I tired. I was out late last night, whizzzed in the door to watch the last bit of American Idol. Got ready for work and helped DD do homework, took a shower then crashed :faint: into bed. I don't think I turned over once last night! lol Yesterday Amber (dd) and I drove an hour to a large shopping center in Knoxville. We shopped for 2 hours then meet the weight loss group I am in for supper at Mimi's cafe. The dietician was there (actually two of them) and we all got to order what we wanted. Then she went over good choices on the menu. Things she said to do: Make ordering about you! ask for no butter, no salt. If they have it on the menu you can create your own meal. She said not to feel guilty about asking for things on the side or to change something about an item you don't want/like. Opt for water instead of tea/soda/coffee. If available look at NI, either at resturarant or online before you go. I beleive they choose Mimi's Cafe because they have a lifestyle menu that has the NI right on the menu. Another important note, eat as if you were at home. Don't think your stomach is bigger because your at a different table. Watch portion sizes, get a to go box before you food comes out and box 1/2 of it up right away. Skip the bread, unless you not having a starch with your meal, and skip the butter. Eat off the kids menu. She said to skip the convienence eating like fast food and opt for a sit down resturant because are you are more to find something that is healthy and because you can have them change it to what you want/need. It was very informative and am glad I went. Amber was not impressed and said she'd rather of gone to Granny's so she could be on facebook.:comp: Next week our meeting is "Walk with Stacey" I just called and reserved my spot. We are going to meet with the exercise physiologist. She is going to go over warm up and we are going to have our meeting about walking while we "WALK" around the hospital campus track. Cool. I get in my meeting and exercise all in one evening. Plus to make all that even better I have hired my mother to come over on Wednesdays to clean my house. She will keep Amber at my house while I am gone. So I get to come home to a clean house plus I don't have to drive an extra 20 minutes to go pick up Amber and then drive home again. :cheer3: My beagle is such a goober. He makes me :dizzy:. I filled up the holes in the yard last week and already they are dug out again. Plus he chewed a hunk off the lattice off the porch. :fr: Yesterday I stopped at Petsmart and spent a small fortune on toys. I got the kong with the liver treat that you squirt into it. Hopefully it will keep him occupied while we are gone. I just don't get it, he is only alone for 2 hours a day. The rest of the time he is with someone and is fine. Maybe it's separation anxiety that makes him want to chew. :?: hubby says it's just a puppy phase but he is a year old this year shouldn't he be slowing down some? That's it for me. hope everyday has a wonderful day. squeak351 04-01-2009, 01:33 PM Hey Sarah- my menu for today is B- 1 egg, 1 egg white scrambled topped with 1 T cabot pepperjack 50% RF cheese (shredded) I put that on top of 1 slice 35 cal wheat bread spread with just touch of brummel and brown butter 1 small apple S- dannon light and fit yogurt L- lean cuisine meal 2 cups spinach with Ken's raspberry and pecan dsg S- 1 cup cantaloupe D- 1 cup WW pasta w/ 1/2 cup can tomatoes, 1/2 cup steam broccoli, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle all with 2 T parm. cheese 1 cup cantaloupe S- jello pudding cup, the ones that are 60 calories SapphireBlue 04-01-2009, 01:57 PM Not too much going on today. I did watch Idol. They better quit picking on my girl with the pink hair. She's a rocker and she's young. She can wear whatever she wants.:mad: daydreamer 04-01-2009, 02:16 PM Happy April Fool's Day! Hope nobody gets pranked today!!! The last couple of days around here have not been much fun. We're halfway through Spring Break, and the two oldest are fighting constantly now. They need to go back to school, but we still have a week and a half. Lord help me (and them!) lol FitSarah- We have a ceramics place here. The kids LOVE going, and they make great gifts for grandparents! I also have a preemie. My ds3 was a 24 weeker- he just turned 4 in January. How early was your little one? squeak351- it sounds like your pup does have separation anxiety. My dog was like that until he was about 2. You may have to crate her while you're gone, to keep her from destroying things. But hopefully the new toys will keep her occupied enough. Have a great day everyone! FitSarah 04-01-2009, 02:44 PM Yay, I got in a GREAT workout. I chose treadmill (old friend) and did some intense walking for 44 min (I don't know why I stopped there, just did...) and I got a great adrenaline rush! So, showered and ready to make lunch now. I was having these revelations while working out and showering... 1. The weight loss is for ME! Not anyone else. 2. Those clothes in my closet are going to be worn by ME again and I'm not going to give them away or sell them. (I was thinking of the opposite alternatives to "never getting into them again") 3. I like how it feels when I know I'm healthy. 4. Even if I am pregs with baby #4, I can still be healthy and I can still trim up. 5. I have heart disease, diabetes and other fun things that run in my family - so, I need to put myself in check before I "check out" too early. What do you think? BTW, menu for the day - so far: Breakfast: 1 egg w/mozzarella cheese, omelette, 1 pc of light whole wheat bread with 1 pat of butter, 2 cups decaf coffee, 1 small glass of grape juice (for the pills) Snack: 1/2 Fiber One pop tart - brown sugar cinnamon Lunch: (will be) 1 slice light whole wheat bread with horseradish cheddar cheese (1 sl), 2 thin slices of Cleveland bologna, carrot sticks (handful) Unknown for the rest of the day for dinner etc. Talk to you later, I must go make lunch and brown some ground beef. -Sarah- LBH 04-01-2009, 09:58 PM Hey All! Glad to see some of you watch AI! I'm a huge fan! Squeak, your menu sounds soo good! Now I want to go make an omelet! I guess it can wait til breakfast! :lol: PearFreak 04-02-2009, 12:55 AM Just popping in to say a quick Hello!! AI fan here. I favor my man Danny!!! Went to the gym and sweat up a storm. That good gym sweat. Ahhhhh, then home took a shower and did the usual. Devsmama 04-02-2009, 08:14 AM LOL @ daydreamer! My son is gone for the week, thank goodness.

Thank you! It won't be long before you'll be seeing blooms too. I have a lot that still look like that too and am waiting on pins and needles to see them again. They are my favorite bulbs. Nancy |

lilies are my favorite flower and this year I bought japanese toad lilies and am excited to get them in the ground. You look like a avid grower, have you ever had problems with rabbits and squirrels eating the roots? I've read up on the bulbs how chicken cages work great but am wondering if they will go after the rhizome rooted lilies. Enjoy every beautiful flower you will get! |

I've not had problems with squirrels or rabbits eating the bulbs. Rabbits eat the tops but normally only on my daylilies. I have been missing a few buds the last couple of days and suspect deer since my DH found a few prints outside today right by one of my lilies. We live in the woods so have all kinds of critters. There are squirrels everywhere but there's usually plenty to feed them and they try to eat all of the birdseed. I'm heartbroken when something doesn't come back up, aren't you? I hope you don't have any problems. Last year I had lily beetles terribly but they only attacked a large group cannas. Nancy |

Velocity Conference Day 2
An amazing second day at Velocity Conference in Santa Clara, California. We asked some of the attendees about what they hoped to learn at the conference, and what they found most interesting.
An amazing second day at Velocity Conference in Santa Clara, California. We asked some of the attendees about what they hoped to learn at the conference, and what they found most interesting.
We asked attendees at the Velocity Conference in Santa Clara "What did you most enjoy about day 1?". Here's a recap of the first day in just 2 minutes.
Shootitlive was born with a demo in a conference room at one of the biggest daily newspapers in Sweden. The demo was a hack hosted on one of the co-founder's computers at home. A Shootitlive widget was inserted into a copy of the daily's homepage. When photos started to appear on the fake homepage, merely seconds after the camera had captured the photo, the deal was in effect done.
That's how Shootitlive got started and how it managed to sign up many of the biggest newspapers in Northern Europe as customers. On the bleeding edge of news photography and video, Shootitlive is now poised for further international expansion.
There is so much happening on the Internet during a year that it's impossible to capture it all in a blog post, but we're going to give it a shot anyway. How many emails were sent during 2012? How many domains are there? What's the most popular web browser? How many Internet users are there? These are some of the questions we'll answer for you.
To bring you these answers, we've gone to the ends of the web – wherever that is – and back again, and compiled a list of truly fascinating facts about the year that was. Some of the numbers are snapshots taken during the year, others cover the entire period. Either way, they all contribute to giving us a better understanding of Internet in 2012. Enjoy!
This coming Monday, January 14, we will release a new feature, the Pingdom Transaction Monitor check type. With it, all Pingdom customers will be able to monitor complex multi-step website interactions.
We will of course share all the information about the Transaction Monitor on Monday. In preparation for the official launch, we would like to invite you to take part in a live Q&A broadcast session taking place on Monday at 18:00 (6pm) CET, 9:00 (9am) PST.
A video published on the front page of the newspaper Aftonbladet reached over 146,000 simultaneous visitors less than a minute after it was shot in Ukraine during the Euro 2012 soccer championship. This was made possible by the Swedish company Shootitlive, which is using the latest in web technology to make it possible for news organizations to provide real-time media coverage from events around the world. Today we're talking to one of its developers, Emil Stenqvist, about what Shootitlive does and how it does it.
Lately there's been a tremendous amount of hype about the potential of an "Instagram for video" as the next big thing. However, there's a fundamental problem that stands in the way of that. For lack of a better word, it's the problem of scannability (yes, that's probably a brand new word…).
Twitter can be scanned quickly. Tweets are bite-sized and take mere seconds for users to process. Instagram is pretty much Twitter for images, where entries can also be scanned in mere seconds. Sometimes it doesn't even take that long.
So what happened with the Internet in 2011? How many email accounts were there in the world in 2011? How many websites? How much did the most expensive domain name cost? How many photos were hosted on Facebook? How many videos were viewed to YouTube?
We've got answers to these questions and many more. A veritable smorgasbord of numbers, statistics and data lies in front of you. Using a variety of sources we've compiled what we think are some of the more interesting numbers that describe the Internet in 2011.
On December 2, 1991, Apple released the first version of QuickTime. Back then, QuickTime was at the forefront of bringing video to personal computers, and it has, without a doubt, had a tremendous impact on personal computing, multimedia, and the Internet since its introduction.
But in the twenty years since then a lot has happened, and the question is what is the relevance of QuickTime today in a web- and mobile-centric world?
What happened with the Internet in 2010?
How many websites were added? How many emails were sent? How many Internet users were there? This post will answer all of those questions and many, many more. If it's stats you want, you've come to the right place.
We used a wide variety of sources from around the Web to put this post together. You can find the full list of source references at the bottom of the post if you're interested. We here at Pingdom also did some additional calculations to get you even more numbers to chew on.
Prepare for a good kind of information overload.
