The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results.

Sammamish Eye Level Learning Center's name draws its inspiration from the story of a teacher with a unique perspective. On a trip to the Smithsonian, a man would kneel down in front of each painting, attracting the attention of other visitors. Finally, when asked what he was doing, he replied, "I am an elementary-school teacher, and I will bring my students here tomorrow. I was wondering how my students would enjoy the paintings from a student's eye level." In that spirit, the tutors at this multidisciplinary learning center put the reins in their students' hands with their child-directed learning process, which ensures kids develop the skills they need at a pace they can handle, without getting bored enough to eat their homework and blame it on their dogs.
For sand to turn into glass, something must heat it to more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit—something like a meteor crashing into the earth, a volcano erupting, or lightning striking a beach. At Redmond School of Glass, sculptor Corey Hubbell and his team of instructors take care of the heating part, dipping into a chamber for dollops of molten glass that students turn into pieces of art. They lead one-time sessions as well as six-week courses—which maintain a student-teacher ratio of 2:1—imparting their expertise through projects that involve crafting ornaments, vases, and dishes. And they've stocked their studio with all the necessary tools, such as wooden blocks for shaping and jacks for cutting.
By sharing their craft, Corey and his team continue the storied glass-art heritage of Seattle, which once sustained more than 300 glass shops. The area's world-renowned scene claims sculptor Dale Chihuly, the Pilchuck Glass School, and the Museum of Glass; so definitive is glass, in fact, that four out of the last five mayors were made of it.
When Joan Barnes founded Gymboree Play & Music in 1976, she envisioned a facility where parents and children could play together in a safe and age-appropriate environment. In the following decades, Gymboree Play & Music spread to more than 30 countries across the globe, helping youngsters from infants to 5 years old develop cognitive, physical, and social skills. The company's instructors lead classes such as Play & Learn, its flagship course, in which parents and kids move through a seven-level program filled with storytelling, play activities, and debates on the merits of sandwich crust. Talented staffers also prep youngsters for school and foster development in areas such as music, art, and sports. Throughout all classes, they make use of custom play equipment designed by acclaimed playground designer and seesaw-tamer Jay Beck.:m]]

The scale has been an annoyance to me lately, so I have been looking for other ways of gauging my progess. I started out in a 32 jean at 268 lbs. and I am down to size 24. Although I am still huge for my height, at least it is starting to go in the right direction. All the 3x tops were falling off of me. Yay! This feels good. I wanted to share my good news.:carrot::D

Game story: For Ducks, it takes two
Here's my story from Saturday's game:
On a night when USC's stranglehold on the Pac-10 loosened, Oregon didn't exactly grab destiny by the throat.
But neither did the Ducks slip up Saturday, as they did a week earlier. And now, with two games left in the regular season, the UO football team is in sole possession of first place in the Pac-10, and two wins away from its first Rose Bowl berth in 15 years.
Oregon put its loss to Stanford safely in the rear-view mirror Saturday, fending off Arizona State, 44-21, before 58,475 in Autzen Stadium. Now 8-2 overall, the No. 14 Ducks are the lone one-loss team in the conference at 6-1, a record they'll put on the line next week at Arizona.
"Our guys, I'm sure they're already getting ready for it and geared up," Kelly said. "We're in the stretch run, and you've got to be a good football team in November if you're going to be a champion."
By the time the Ducks and Sun Devils (4-6, 2-5) kicked off Saturday night, USC had been shellacked by Stanford, likely bringing an end to the Trojans' seven-year run as Pac-10 champs. Then, California handed Arizona its second conference loss, opening the door for Oregon to enter next week alone atop the standings.
That was unless, of course, the Ducks lost back-to-back games for the first time in two years. Arizona State gave Oregon more problems defending power rushing sets, and the Ducks failed to reach 400 yards of offense for just the second time in nearly two months, but they recovered from an unusually poor third quarter to pull away down the stretch.
In the end, the only drama was whether recently reinstated running back LeGarrette Blount would play, which he did not. For the rest of the Ducks, though, there was relief at getting back to their winning ways, one week after a seven-game streak of victories was snapped.
"Really important," said redshirt freshman running back LaMichael James, who scored three touchdowns and had 150 rushing yards, giving him 1,193 for the season, seventh all-time at Oregon. "Nobody likes losing, and that loss stuck with me the whole week, and my teammates too. We just wanted to show everybody that last week wasn't us." Click here for the complete story.

It is her maiden name, not her first name which is wrong which makes it difficult for people trying to trace relatives! |

My grandfather's surname is wrong on the GRO index and on his marriage cert. It cannot be changed, and yes it did make finding the marriage very difficult! |
Fiona | Report | 22 Feb 2013 12:33 |
I'm really new at this... what is the GRO index? By image do you mean the type written pages that you look at, if not how can I view the image? Sorry for all the questions |
KenSE | Report | 22 Feb 2013 15:07 |
The FreeBMD site is a searchable transcription of the GRO Index. The result of the search (year, quarter, registration district, volume and page) enables you to order the certificate from the GRO. |
JustJanet | Report | 22 Feb 2013 15:25 |
I found that my maiden name was incorrectly shown in my marriage record on the Indexes on Ancestry & FMP. I wrote to the register office where we were married and had a reply from the GRO in Southport confirming that the original entry at the register office was correct and the error was just in the GRO index. |
Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it | Report | 22 Feb 2013 15:54 |
Hubby registered the birth of our daughter. He didn't notice they spelt my surname incorrectly . I did and was going to see if a correction could be done but I was so caught up in caring for her with feeds etc and OH being on shifts that I didn't have the time to make two bus journey to the Register Office to see if it could be amended so her birth cert still has my maiden name incorrectly spelt |

This past Monday NYC Green Schools officially launched its Meatless Monday campaign, in partnership with the national non-profit Meatless Monday. Our objective is to bring more plant-based foods into NYC schools to improve our children's health and the health of our planet. We spent the morning at Validus Preparatory Academy in the Bronx speaking with student leaders at the school about the health crisis that exists among today's youth and how eating more plant-based foods can decrease their risk for obesity and other chronic diseases.
We decided in preparing our talk with the students not to diminish the horrifying statistics facing today's youth, that they had a right to know more than anyone the toll our food system was taking on their health. When we told them the staggering prediction that young people today will be the first generation of Americans to live shorter lives than their parents as a direct result of the food they eat, they became extremely attentive. Our statistics were really brought home by the PTA President of the school who also attended our meeting who happened to be a nurse. She told the students that five years ago the vast majority of patients they saw in the Intensive Care Unit were elderly people in their 70s and 80s who were approaching the end of their lives. In recent years that's been changing as more and more people in their 30s and 40s show up in the ICU with complications from diabetes and hypertension as a direct result of being obese.
The students did not become defensive when hearing the news or when we proposed that they try to reduce their consumption of saturated fat by eating only plant-based meals on Monday. No one asked, "But what about my meat?" On the contrary, they were eager to give healthy, cholesterol-free foods, like vegetarian chili and pasta with tomato sauce and garbanzo beans, a try. They understood what was at stake. One student in fact had seen the film "Food Inc." and, as a result of what she had learned about our food system, was trying to become a vegetarian. She told us that when her mom served her hamburger and french fries the night before for dinner, she only ate the fries. Granted, when we asked the students what their favorite school meals were, we heard the refrain you will hear in most NYC schools: the chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, pizza! And, unfortunately, since consumer demand is what drives the "business of school food" – not serving America's undernourished children the most nutritious meals possible – those popular food items are likely to stay on the menu for a long time to come.
In which case, maybe education is the answer to the health crisis we face. We only had 15 minutes to share with students from Validus information about the food they were eating and how it was impacting their health. And yet, in that short time, we had students motivated to do something about it. Imagine what an entire curriculum dedicated to a detailed examination of our food system and its toll on our health and planet might do. Let's face it, a 15-minute presentation by NYC Green Schools should not be the first time New York City high-school students learn about the grim statistics facing their generation. Students need to learn about what's happening to their bodies and why from their earliest years in elementary school, so that good eating habits can be developed, avoiding a lifetime of disease and quite possibly premature death. Perhaps if our schools were a little less focused on test scores and more focused on subjects that are quite literally a matter of life and death to our students, we would have been spared the story we heard later in the day from a science teacher in Queens who told us about an eighth grade student at her school who had to be rushed to the hospital from complications due to diabetes.

House rejects farm billBy MARY CLARE JALONICK
The Associated Press | June 21,2013AP FILE PHOTO
This May 15 photo shows stacks of paperwork that make up the 2013 Farm Bill on Capitol Hill in Washington.WASHINGTON The House rejected a five-year, half-trillion-dollar farm bill Thursday that would have cut $2 billion annually from food stamps and let states impose broad new work requirements on those who receive them.
Those cuts werent deep enough for many Republicans who objected to the cost of the nearly $80 billion-a-year food stamp program, which has doubled in the past five years. The vote was 234-195 against the bill, with 62 Republicans voting against it.
The bill also suffered from lack of Democratic support necessary for the traditionally bipartisan farm bill to pass. Only 24 Democrats voted in favor of the legislation after many said the food stamp cuts could remove as many as 2 million needy recipients from the rolls. The addition of the optional state work requirements by Republican amendment just before final passage turned away many remaining Democratic votes.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and No. 2 Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland, both of whom voted for the bill, immediately took to the House floor and blamed the others party for the defeat.
Cantor said it was a disappointing day and that Democrats had been a disappointing player.
Hoyer suggested that Republicans voted for the food stamp work requirements to tank the bill.
What happened today is you turned a bipartisan bill, necessary for our farmers, necessary for our consumers, necessary for the people of America, that many of us would have supported, and you turned it into a partisan bill, he said.
The Senate overwhelmingly passed its version of the farm bill last week, with about $2.4 billion a year in overall cuts and a $400 million annual decrease in food stamps one-fifth of the House bills food stamp cuts. The White House was supportive of the Senate version but had issued a veto threat of the House bill.
If the two chambers cannot come together on a bill, farm-state lawmakers could push for an extension of the 2008 farm bill that expires in September or negotiate a new bill with the Senate and try again.
Some conservatives have suggested separating the farm programs and the food stamps into separate bills. Farm-state lawmakers have for decades added food stamps to farm bills to garner urban votes for the rural bill. But that marriage has made passage harder this year.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., said Thursday that the committee is assessing all its options and will continue its work in the near future.
Just before the vote, Lucas pleaded with his colleagues support, saying that if the measure didnt pass people would use it as an example of a dysfunctional Congress.
If it fails today I cant guarantee youll see in this Congress another attempt, he said.
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the senior Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said he believes the work requirements and a vote that scuttled a proposed dairy overhaul turned too many lawmakers against the measure.
I had a bunch of people come up to me and say I was with you but this is it, Im done, Peterson said after the vote.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, voted for the bill but lobbied for the dairy amendment that caused some dairy-state lawmakers to eventually turn on the legislation. Cantor vocally supported the amendment that imposed the work requirements, coming to the House floor just before that vote and the final vote to endorse it.
Though passage has been in the balance all week, the vote against the bill was larger than many expected. When the final vote count was read, House Democrats cheered loudly, led by members of the Congressional Black Caucus who had fought the food stamp cuts.
The defeat is also a major victory for conservative taxpayer groups and environmental groups who have unsuccessfully worked against the bill for years. Those groups have aggressively lobbied lawmakers in recent weeks, hoping to capitalize on the more than 200 new members of the House since the last farm bill passed five years ago. Many of those new members are conservative Republicans who replaced moderate rural Democrats who had championed farm policy.
Those groups were emboldened after the vote.
We need to put farm subsidies on a path to elimination and we need to devolve food stamps to the state level where they belong, said Chris Chocola, president of the conservative advocacy group Club for Growth.MORE IN National / World BusinessA new liquor company on Exchange Street hopes to use $500,000 to make gin and cultivate local...

Post-Damage Repair of Prestressed Concrete Girders
- Chris Ramseyer,
- Thomas H.-K. Kang
- … show all 2 hide
Concrete is an economical construction material and for that reason it is widely used in buildings and infrastructures. The use of deicing salts, expansion joint failure, and freeze–thaw cycles have led to concrete bridge girders experiencing corrosion of steel reinforcement and becoming unsafe for driving. The goal of this research is to assess the effectiveness of current and possible repair techniques for the end region of damaged prestressed concrete girders. To do this, three American Association of State Highway and Transportation prestressed concrete girders were tested to failure, repaired, and retested. Three different repair materials were tested including carbon fiber, glass fiber, and surface mounted rods. Each different repair material was also tested with and without injected epoxy. Comparisons were then made to determine if injecting epoxy had a positive effect on stiffness and strength recovery as well as which repair type regained the largest percentage of original strength.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson, Amanda VanAllen and JP Lawrence
ABC News' Matthew Mosk, James Gordon Meek and Lee Ferran: "Edward Snowden, NSA Contractor, Claims to be Source of Surveillance Program Leaks" The source of a series of top secret leaks from the National Security Agency has stepped out of the shadows and identified himself as ex-CIA technical assistant Edward Snowden, saying he was standing up against the U.S. government's "horrifying" surveillance capabilities. "I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded," the 29-year-old told the British newspaper The Guardian, which broke the first in a series of headline-grabbing articles on NSA surveillance late last week. "That is not something I am willing to support or live under." LINK
The Washington Times' David Sherfinski: "Heads of Congress' intelligence committees defend NSA surveillance" The chairmen of the House and Senate intelligence committees on Sunday defended a recently disclosed government surveillance program as the whistleblower behind the bombshell leak about the program willingly revealed himself to the public and spoke proudly of his actions. Rep. Mike Rogers, Michigan Republican, lamented criticism and said the "inflammatory nature of the comments" from people he says are not familiar with National Security Agency surveillance programs do not fit with what the programs do. LINK
The New York Daily News' Mark Mazzetti: "Ex-Worker at C.I.A. Says He Leaked Data on Surveillance" A 29-year-old former C.I.A. computer technician went public on Sunday as the source behind the daily drumbeat of disclosures about the nation's surveillance programs, saying he took the extraordinary step because "the public needs to decide whether these programs and policies are right or wrong." During a 12-minute video interview that went online Sunday, Edward Joseph Snowden calmly answered questions about his journey from being a well-compensated government contractor with nearly unlimited access to America's intelligence secrets to being holed up in a Hong Kong hotel room, the subject of a United States investigation, with the understanding that he could spend the rest of his life in jail. LINK
The Washington Post's Barton Gellman, Aaron Blake and Greg Miller: "Edward Snowden comes forward as source of NSA leaks" A 29-year-old man who says he is a former undercover CIA employee said Sunday that he was the principal source of recent disclosures about top-secret National Security Agency programs, exposing himself to possible prosecution in an acknowledgment that had little if any precedent in the long history of U.S. intelligence leaks. Edward Snowden, a tech specialist who has contracted for the NSA and works for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, unmasked himself as a source after a string of stories in The Washington Post and the Guardian that detailed previously unknown U.S. surveillance programs. LINK
The Hill's Sam Baker: "Decision on gay marriage highlights Supreme Court's summer term" Both sides in the fight over same-sex marriage are bracing for a decision from the Supreme Court, the most high-profile of the cases justices are expected to rule on this summer. Where last year brought an anxious waiting game in immediate, politically charged cases over ObamaCare and immigration, this year's major rulings will center around broad questions of civil rights. LINK
USA Today's Richard Wolf: "Gay marriage rulings: Experts predict what court will do." As the Supreme Court prepares to issue two historic decisions on gay marriage this month, however, the judges and lawyers who worked on both sides of those earlier cases don't expect anything quite so eloquent or all-encompassing from a cautious and conservative court. The consensus view: The justices will limit the expansion of gay marriage rights to California, with few if any implications for the rest of the country. Only on the Defense of Marriage Act, most agree, will the court strike a broad blow against discrimination by striking down the ban on federal benefits for married same-sex couples. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Katherine Skiba: "Senate Republican says she'll back immigration bill" Conservative Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte announced her support Sunday for the Senate's bipartisan immigration overhaul, lending momentum to the comprehensive measure. "Our immigration system is completely broken," the New Hampshire lawmaker said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "This is a thoughtful, bipartisan solution to a tough problem." Ayotte, who was elected in 2010, is the first Republican to endorse the measure apart from the four in the Senate's so-called Gang of Eight who crafted the bill: Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marco Rubio of Florida and Jeff Flake of Arizona. LINK
Politico's Seung Min Kim and Jake Sherman: "John Boehner begins to sketch immigration plan" Speaker John Boehner has been stunningly silent about his plans to move immigration reform through the House. But privately, the Ohio Republican is beginning to sketch out a road map to try to pass some version of an overhaul in his chamber — a welcome sign for proponents of immigration reform. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Corey Boyles: "Congress Heads for Showdown Over Food-Stamp Funding." A major farm bill that the Senate is likely to approve on Monday will set up a collision with the House over funding for the fast-growing food-stamp programs. The cost of the food-stamp programs has risen substantially since President Barack Obama took office in 2009 amid the worst economic downturn in 80 years, jumping 41% to $75.7 billion in 2011. The House is on track to cut $20 billion from the program over the next decade, or less than 3%. The bill the Senate is expected to pass Monday would cut food stamps by $4 billion over a decade. LINK
ABC News' Alexandra Dukakis and Matthew Larotonda: "McCain, Feinstein and Obama Chief of Staff on Surprise Trip to Guantanamo Bay." Senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., traveled to the federal detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Friday with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. The trip came amid a mass hunger strike of more than one hundred prisoners at the most recognizable and controversial holding facility in the war on terrorism. President Obama had promised to close Guantanamo when he was running for president in 2008, but progress has long since stalled. LINK
The Boston Globe's Tracy Jan: "State may fill gap in federal health care coverage." A congressional mistake that could cause nearly 4 million people to be ineligible for federal subsidies in President Obama's health care law has prompted Massachusetts officials to launch a new effort to try to close the gap. Under what has become known as a "glitch" in Obama's health plan, eligibility for insurance subsidies will be based on how much it costs workers who buy an individual plan, not the far more expensive family plan. The glitch would affect uninsured spouses and an estimated 460,000 children of workers who cannot afford the family coverage offered through employers. LINK

Do Illegal Fireworks Bother You? [POLL]
My family and I watched the CSI fireworks from the south side of Twin Falls. It was honestly hard to pick out which fireworks were coming from the CSI campus because I think a lot of families celebrated the 4th of July by lighting off illegal fireworks.

I'd guess the one /199 should sell for 60-70 bucks and the one /25 might fetch a tad over a hundred. Those are off the top of my head though and not based on any actual sales results or research.

Yep, something's wrong. I searched the entire site for "flower" and got 1 return... Search results for: flower There was one match.. 1 |
Boy this is getting on my nerves :( I think I will forget all of my questions or make dumb threads if I don't have the search function! |
Hmmmm.... well, I guess this is but another advantage of being a total dumb head. I've rarely used search here - can usually find answers and/or entertainment just by scrolling. But, "They" better fix it, it is a handy option. |
If I might make a suggestion...Go to Google type in you search terms and add Gardenweb. I just checked my user name like that and found 77 entries. You may get a few useless results but they should have most of what there is. Thanks, |

Just answer this question:
At what point in the bad guy's death did the bullets, ammo, gun, or techniques fail?
This is a discussion on 9mm, 40, & 45 Testing Results (5-15-10) within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just answer this question: At what point in the bad guy's death did the bullets, ammo, gun, or techniques fail?...
Just answer this question:
At what point in the bad guy's death did the bullets, ammo, gun, or techniques fail?
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Probably the only home based FFL that doesn't do transfers.
Nice report and write up.
The only problem that I have with these types of ballistics tests is that they are using a gelatin that is close to the makeup of human flesh.
Everybody is different. Fat, toned muscle, organs all have different densities, and there is never any bone in these tests.
COM is typically right at the sternum. These tests would duplicate a gut shot.
They are also 1 shot, extract and measure.
Lets see a double or triple tap into the same block in the manner that we would expect in a real life shooting, then measure the hole(s).
As several people have posted in the past, if you want to see what your SD round is going to do, take it hunting and re-shoot your kill. That or fork over the money to buy a pig. Waste of meat, but realistic results.

[QUOTE=FLSquirrelHunter;1629617]First of all, [B]... Last and least, the reported data directly support only 1 of the 10, agree with 3 more, and disagree with 2 conclusions.
I hate that you typed all that up, but no where did I say that the facts and myth busting were based off my report.
Great report the separation is bit disconcerting. Out of 250 rounds of .230 grain HST I did not have a single separation. Looks like I may want to test some more rounds of it once it becomes more available. For now I am hanging onto what I have for SD

Beware the man with but one gun." Unknown person from 1800's
My interpretation; If he has but one gun, he has most likely shot it at all things at which he has shot, and become quite the expert at using it. I know that the daisy BB gun I got when I was four years old became so familar to me that the noisy cicadas in the trees in my backyard were in serious jeopardy any time they dared make a sound. Some days I would have those suckers lined-up in the driveway so far that I began to feel sorry for them.:king
Did I get off the thread too far?
Here is a link to a detailed analysis over at AR15.com, worth the read:

There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
Good information for those 9MM "naysayers". I personally like the 9MM, not saying it is better or worse than other calibers out there, just personal preference. Anything you kill with your CCW is no more dead with a .45 than it is with a .25. Shot placement is key to SD! With the difference in penetration on your report, the 3 calibers all would be a good choice. Great report!
