It was awful to see the name calling in Commissioner Eric Maxwell's letter. He referred to Steve Brown and Harold Bost as "despised and disgraced" but he failed to discuss any of the relevant issues most of us are concerned about. Unfortunately, Commissioner Maxwell is degrading the level of decorum in this election with name-calling and innuendo. Read More»
I'm fed up with the scheming by some of our elected officials. It's easy to know who should get the vote in this upcoming July election. Just watch for the ones who would rather sling mud than address the real issues.
Two people who have seriously concentrated on the issues are Bob Todd for the Board of Education and Steve Brown for the County Commission. Their political adversaries seem to relish the art of personal attacks because they don't have any intelligent positions of their own. Read More»
Since Mr. Clell Lambert of Peninsula Drive has commented on the Peachtree City proposed ordinance regarding vacant homes, I would like to make a statement to say what happens when you live next to a vacant home for 15 years.
Mr. Lambert states that a $200 fee to register a vacant home is "excessive." I'll tell you what's excessive, Mr. Lambert. Read More»
In response to the allegations against Joyce Woodall and her Love A Pet rescue: In a time when our country is in turmoil, unemployment and foreclosures are at an all-time high, businesses are closing everywhere you look, don't our elected officials have more important issues than to go after a woman who only does good things for her community?

The Citizen's Page A12 contained the article: "Tea party holds pastors breakfast." The subject didn't seem that strange to me. After all, we look for our political allies where we can and it's no secret most Tea Partiers are Republican and less of a secret the Republicans are beholden to conservative religious whackos.

I just read the article about the technology bidding process. I knew something was up with the technology process back in October of 2009. Why?
I was invited, so I went to the Superintendent's Roundtable Discussion on 21st Century Technology. I asked some questions about the presentation and had some comments about the software that was used for the presentation.
I wondered why they were still using PowerPoint when software had been developed that would fully interface with interactive whiteboard software. Read More»
After attending the Fayette County Board of Education meeting last month and listening to the pleas from teachers and educators to not cut benefits and salaries for teachers, we were all introduced to the newest update on a mandate handed down from the state requiring a curriculum change to comply with the new "Common Core Curriculum Standards Initiative."

This summer Hollywood will provide us with another adventure of action hero Iron Man. This summer Peachtree City and Fayette County is also presented with its fourth adventure of Steve "Goat Man" Brown.
It is said that politics makes strange bedfellows. I am still shaking my head after I learned that two of the most despised and disgraced former politicians have formed an alliance to run Steve Brown against County Commissioner Jack Smith. How Steve Brown and Harold Bost ever paired up is an unknown to me. Read More»
The issues in race for the two at-large county commission posts, to be decided at the July 20 primary election, are extremely clear. (Whoever wins the primary gets the commission seats as there are no Democratic challengers.) Read More»
Is anybody else concerned about the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde incumbents on the Fayette Board of Commissioners?
Jack Smith swore to us that he didn't support mass transit in our pastoral county. Then we find The Citizen article, "Commission Chairman Smith explains his 'Yes' vote for mass transit in Fayette."
Wait a minute, I thought Jack didn't support mass transit.
Smith's opponent, Steve Brown, looked up the records of the regional government meetings and found Smith voted in favor of a plan calling for transit buses in Fayette County. Read More»

lexusguy Posts: 6,419Before I jump on mp3s in the car (preferably flac files, but I suppose at least 256 VBR mp3 would be enough to get by) I want to see storage built into the car's sound system. Even a million dollar car stereo will be killed by the 12 cent DAC thats in pretty much all portable mp3 players. Almost as bad as those cassettes that connect to a portable headphone jack.
Until then, I'll stick with my dino era CDs, and their infinitely superior sound quality. -
lexusguy Posts: 6,419I think the new Austin Healey "Mk IV" concept is stunning, but there are just so many things stacked against it. Austin does not have the rights to the Healey name, and without the backing of a major auto company, I dont see any real chance of success in the market place. I'd absolutely love to get behind the wheel of an Austin Healey again though, and this time it would have the benefit of having (supposedly) 300+ hp V8 engine. No longer the "poor man's Jag".
My Mk II was just like this car, two tone black over white, with the bolt on windows and impossible double-clutch four-speed. At least I never had to worry about my wife driving it -

merc1 Posts: 6,081Well guys I didn't say that the 300E was "inspiring" or that it was better than Audi's styling at the time. I said that it was the car that got me interested in the Mercedes-Benz brand. Compared to the brand of car I liked most then the 300E was very much different. I had already known about and liked Audi before really having anything to do with a Mercedes.
Secondly, bland, vanilla etc...to each his own I guess. To me the W124 E-Class was a timeless design that still looks good today. Especially the 1994-1995 facelifted models.
You have to remember that the SL that roamed the streets in the 80's was a design that came out in 1971! Now the SL after that, the R129 that ran from 1990-2002 was another favorite.
Yeah the W124 E was hardly of the swoopy design language that Mercedes has today, thing is though they were hardly considered bland and vanilla back in their day. Its really easy to judge an old design by today's standards and call it bland.
garyh1 Posts: 386Merc, I understand exactly what you are saying about your "epiphany" with the 300E. It definitely made a statement that was very different from the American cars of the day. It was perhaps staid in its design, but its looks fit with the "solid as a tank" reputation that MB had (and deserved) then. Yet if you read the reviews of this car (such as on mercedesshop.com, the source of the pic which oac posted) you will all see that it was a fun car to drive as well: "These cars possess a handling feel that is almost unrivaled in the Mercedes Benz lineup. The tossable, nimble, almost 4-door go-kart feel is truly a joy. The fact that this is coupled with a wonderfully smooth ride and precise steering make the driving experience that much more enjoyable."
As a young lawyer, I myself went with an Audi 5000S back then (1980?), but if I could have afforded a 300E I would have bought it in a minute. And I would probably still have it now, that's how good a car they were. In contrast, the Audi blew a rod before it was 5 years old.
In those days, with an MB you actually did get what you paid for.... -
ljflx Posts: 4,687Merc, I can see what you mean. The SL was the car that did it for me but that classic front end with the grill on every other MB was really the definition of the brand from a style perspective. Looking at 1960-s thru 80's Benz models - even today - is like looking at the movie Casablanca for the 50th time. You know what will happen but the acting is so great you still have to watch.
michael_mattox Posts: 813I would have to say the SL did it for me also...I lusted after that car for years (unable to afford it)...When I could afford it I found I didn't fit in it comfortably...and found a new love the Cady Allante and did buy one and had it for 10 years...
I liked that car so much..I remember when I first got it, I would pass a BMW Convertable or an SL and feel sorry for the poor guy driving it...Silly I know. My Allante still looked fresh in 03 when I sold it. -
lexusguy Posts: 6,419"Its really easy to judge an old design by today's standards and call it bland."
Well, there's bad old design, and old design that really was so gorgeous that its still amazing today. There's only one American car in the history of US auto that I've ever really thought was goregous, the original 1953 Corvette. A few of the T-birds were pretty good, but they never measured up to that first Vette.
My love of English cars was kindled by stunners like the XK120 and Aston DB4. Those cars look just as good today as they did then. By '71 auto design went seriously down hill, and by '85 it was basically dead and buried.
Somebody at Aston Martin actually thought this...thing looked good:
Aston Martin Bulldog -
oac Posts: 1,594You guys will laugh when I admit that back in the late 70s I actually liked the exterior styling of the AMC Pacer.
To the contrary, syswei, my all-time favorite American car (I am not American, if you haven't already guessed) was the '70s Mercury Monarch. That car was elegant, stately, rich-looking, and had a commanding presence on the road. A car driven by US ambassadors globally, at least in the '70s. I lusted after that car, and promised myself if I ever had any money, that's the car for me. Of course, I was barely 12 yrs old by this time, so much for been a car fan that early.
In the '80s, it was MB bcos every rich person had one. But by the '90s, MB was off the radar for me. Why ? Bcos it represented old money, to me. It represented everything I wanted to forget. Regardless of how beautiful and graceful the cars are, MB as a brand belongs in the past. Nothing against them really... Lexus was the new kid on the block...I was impressed by their reliable and conservative outlook to their cars. And they bucked the old-timers. That was the deal breaker... That a starter could kick the behind of the old guard. I love that about them. And remain loyal to that brand, for now. The brand that intrigues me the most is BMW. Despite their long history, they remain *new* in my eyes. If only I could sub-consciously overcome my fear of their reliablity issues, I'd buy one. And therein lies the dilemna. I do not want the Bangled ones, and scared of buying the older models (whose style I believe are timeless) due to... well... reliability concerns. Who knows... -
lexusguy Posts: 6,419Accoring to CR, the '04 BMW 7 scored "poor" (20%+ problem rate) in three areas, and "fair" in two. Everything else was rated at least "good", with four "very good" catergories, and one "excellent".
Compare those scores to the '04 VW Toureg, which earned a "poor" score in an astounding eleven catergories, at least half of which could be considered critical. Only three catergories were rated adove average (less than 10% reported problem rate). Compared to that, the 7 looks pretty good. -

Oh, please! Compared to the Peugeot, the 7 looks pretty good too! Doing better that a Touareg, the worst SUV on the planet, does not make the 7 a reliability champ. Compare the 7 to a Lincoln Town Car, and it looks pretty awful. -
mbzlvr Posts: 14My 2005 S430 has a 6 disc changer in the trunk and an single slot CD/DVD player in the dash. I think this is a great setup getting the best of both worlds. I don't think I'll be loading and reloading six discs while driving but I can handle one disc at a time. If I were on a long trip, I assume that I'll be able to take a driving break sometime before I play all six CDs in the trunk changer and would be able to exchange disc magazines while taking my driving break.
lexusguy Posts: 6,419What I like are car stereos that have the ability to read mp3 files from CDs. A 6-disc changer would be 4.2GB worth of storage, which is more than plenty for even the longest road trip, and that would negate the need for the lousy sound quality of a portable player. Plus, I'm not big on items that can become projectiles in an accident.
nvbanker Posts: 7,285
prattster Posts: 59Says who someone who drives a Mitsubishi?? BMW's claim to fame is the $35K 3 series which is getting pounded by the better built much more reliable Japanese. Lexus built their name on LS which is the best built production luxury car of yesterday and today and will continue to domimate over the 2nd rate quality german candy cars.. Imagine the LS which was a basement bargain $38K in 1989 is now over $75K full loaded and the next ones will be over $100K..
oac Posts: 1,594My 2005 S430 has a 6 disc changer in the trunk and an single slot CD/DVD player in the dash....
Aha.... A 2005 S430 still has a CD changer in the trunk ?? Well it may be a great setup for mbzlvr, but I submit that if a $15K Kia can have an in-dash CD changer, how can an $80K S-class have a single CD in-dash ?? For a luxury cruiser, methinks it is wrong. Period... -
bdr127 Posts: 950I currently have an in-dash changer, and I really don't see that much of an advantage over a single disc.... Whenever I want to listen to a particular song or artist, I never remember which disc is in what slot so I don't know which disc to skip to. Or if I need to put a new disc in, I don't know which one I'd want to remove because I can't remember which disc is where.
Overall, I wouldn't ever buy a car with a changer (even an in-dash) if it cost me anything extra.... I certainly do not see an advantage at all.
As a result, I don't know why we are basing our ideas of what "Luxury" cars should include with regards to CD changers.... Seems pretty dumb to me. :confuse:

Today was another just absolutely gorgeous day here at Smuggs. Beautiful sunny skies with temperatures in the 20's. I had a great time on all 3 mountains. My first run of the day was Upper Drifter and it was groomed to perfection last night! I had to stop a few times to take in all of the amazing views from Drifter. This afternoon I headed to Sir Henry's Learning Park for the World Famous Cookie Race. This race is a great way for the kids to show their parents everything they learned at Snow Sport University.
Smuggs Alley
"Fresh" Prince
Rockin' Ron for Hugh. What a difference a day makes.Yesterday was torrential rain and today was sunshine and powder. I saw Dave Sills (aka P1 or Patrol One) at the Top of the Notch. He said they had a heck of a time assessing the conditions this morning. After just a couple of runs, I can see what they went through. Well, my hat (or helmet) is off to you Dave, and the rest of Patrol and Mountain Ops. I chanced upon Greg Fatigate and he raved about the Birch Run Terrain Park, and he was right – it was in excellent condition with 4 rails and 3 jumps. Pictured is Brendan Simpson getting some fresh powder on the trail that connects Thomke's to Bootleggers and Smugglers' Alley. We skied a nice variety of terrain including Highlander Glades and Pipeline.Today was a crowning achievement to the season – we felt like Princes of Powder – like Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.
Fresh snow
We received an inch of new snow last night. I was surprised to see how well it bonded with the old snow. I ran into George and Charlie from the Smuggs 55+ Club at the summit of Sterling. These gentlemen could be in the 70+ plus Club. Charlie had already done a warm-up run and was telling us how good the conditions were. George liked what Charlie was saying and suggested Smugglers' Alley for his warm-up run. The wind had moved the snow around and we found some nice pockets of fresh snow. We skied Poacher's Woods next and had fun skiing the gladed bumps. Our next run was Hangman's Drop to Chute and then to Highlander Glades. We were pretty happy about getting fresh tracks on Highlander Glades. I had a great time skiing with Charlie and George. I had to keep reminding myself that the two guys I'm chasing down the mountain are both over 70 years old! Charlie is seen here skiing Highlander Glades.
Blog fans from Long Island
I was checking out Sterling Pond from a vantage point to see if the visibility was worthy of a photo. I suddenly heard someone hiking through the woods. It turned out to be some Smuggs family members from Long Island. They told me that they follow my blog and enjoy the Smuggs videos. It's always nice to meet members of the Smuggs family. Have a safe trip home and we will see again soon.
Smugglers' Alley
Shake it up and FIZZ!
Rockin' Ron for Hugh. Shake it up and FIZZ is not a recipe for a cocktail but how Fletch states his trail pick. That's ironic because Fletch is the bartender in the Black Bear Tavern at the Base Lodge. The trail he's referring to is Upper F.I.S. aka Fizz, which is intoxicating in its own way. After cruising down the upper part of Upper F.I.S., I tend to turn onto lower Doc Dempsey's aka Doc's, but Fletch said let's stay on Fizz. So I cancelled my Doctor's appointment, and we shook it up and fizzed some more. By the time we reached Link, I felt like a drunken sailor but without the rum. Pictured on top of the snow-covered Madonna Mountain prior to fizzing, are the aforementioned Fletch, and Hokie one of our Shuttle Drivers.
Elsewhere around the Resort, I saw the Hogans and the Coadys – families from Canada who vacation here together. In an interesting twist, the kids are skiers and the dads are snowboarders. Skyler, one of the young boys, had a chance to become a boarder but decided against it because he would have to wait until he was good enough to go on some of his favorite trails like Smugglers' Alley. In fact, Skyler told me his goal this week was to ski Upper F.I.S. for the first time. To quote Fletch "Shake it up and FIZZ!"
Smugglers' Alley
My day off is Tuesday and I did not make it up on to the mountain. I was in Burlington yesterday and it was raining throughout the day. I was pleasantly surprised today with the snow conditions. It snowed on the mountain yesterday and it made a big difference. The photo on the right shows Tony having fun on Smugglers' Alley. We also plan to make snow tonight on Catwalk and Upper Chilcoot.
Snowmaking on Smugglers' Alley
I was talking with Ski Patrol after they did trail check this morning. They told me that Smugglers' Alley was groomed last night. They also said that snowmaking on Smugglers' Alley was as good as it gets! My son Hugh and I decided to make Smugglers' Alley our first run. The Ski Patrollers were absolutely right. The Alley was smooth with a fresh coating of snow. Hugh thought that we had first tracks, but I told him that it's because of the snowmaking. I skied up to Hugh at the bottom of Alley and he says "Let's do that again!"
Smugglers' Alley
We received 2 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours and 18 inches in the past 5 days. We continue to make snow on Lower FIS, Midway, and the Magic Learning Trail. I ran into my good friend Vin in the Upper Parking Lot this morning. Vin is the skier seen here on the Alley. We did a warm up cruiser on Upper Rumrunner and Black Snake. We decided to ski Smugglers' Alley for our next run and it had been groomed a few days ago. The surface condition was smooth with a few inches of fresh snow on top. We found the Alley to be too nice not to do again. We also found some nice powder on Upper Exhibition.
Ski Patroller Jordan Brown skiing Doc Dempsey's
We received 6 to 10 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours and 20 inches in the past 4 days. I tried to get the snow report done as soon as possible this morning, so that I could get on the mountain quickly. I rode the Sterling lift first and watched the skiers and riders floating through the powder on Upper Exhibition. I was going to ski Smugglers' Alley, but then I saw that Bootlegger was open from the top. Without hesitation I dropped in and got a face shot on my second turn. I fought the urge to continue skiing and stopped to grab the Gopro camera out of my pocket. I could hear people all around me hooting and hollering for joy. I attached the video camera to the end of my ski pole, so that it was looking back at me. The powder on skier's right was just amazing. To see the footage from this run go to the Smugglers' Notch Face book page and click on "calm before the storm".

Atlantic City
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)City (pop., 2000: 40,517) and resort, southeastern New Jersey, U.S. Lying on narrow Absecon Island, the resort began to be developed in the mid-19th century. Amusement piers were constructed, and the first beachfront boardwalk was built there in 1870. The Miss America Pageant was established in Atlantic City in 1921. After World War II the city began to decline. In 1976 the state approved legalized gambling, and extensive development in Atlantic City provided a huge influx of money to the resort, but much of the surrounding area remained impoverished.

Ranking all 30 farm systems
Astros come in at No. 1 in Keith Law's annual rankings of minor league talent
To kick off my look at the best prospects in the minor leagues this week, I've ranked all 30 MLB farm systems from top to bottom, considering only the players who are currently in their systems and who have not yet exhausted their rookie of the year eligibility. (I use the same criterion for the individual player rankings that will be posted over the next three days.)
Similar to last year, there are only a handful of systems that combine both a few high-impact or high-ceiling prospects and also have depth down to and past the end of their top 10 list. (My top 10 rankings by team will be released on Thursday and Friday.)
Many systems ranked in the teens boast a couple of very good prospects -- say, one or two guys who project as above-average regulars, and another two or three who might be everyday guys -- and then it's bench parts and relievers. Those players are good to have, as you'd much rather fill those spots with minimum-salaried players than have to reach out to free agency, but their asset value is much lower than the values of prospects who project as average or better.
One last point: Of my top 10 farm systems, only three are "large market" teams (although the proper term would be "high revenue"). Scouting and player development are still the best way to build a competitive major league team, and while some extra money in scouting helps, success in either area is far more a function of the people you employ than the money you throw at the players. Good organizations hire and retain good people, enact strong processes and then execute them -- even when fans or writers don't see the big picture.
On the one hand, when you pick first overall every year, you should probably end up with a pretty good farm system, and the Astros' top five prospects are all first-round picks. On the other hand, the Astros have done everything they needed to do to restock what was a few years ago the worst system in the majors, like exceeding MLB's recommended signing bonuses for Lance McCullers Jr. and Rio Ruiz in 2012, or landing prospects like Jonathan Singleton, Domingo Santana and Asher Wojciechowski in trades.

Tony Altomare's Italian eatery crafts Neapolitan-style pizzas with freshly made dough and homemade sauces, gaining accolades such as the title of best pizza from the Philly Hot List in 2010. Diners can peruse the menu and sink teeth into one of the pre-designed pies, such as the mozzarella-, basil-, and tomato-sauce-adorned margherita pizza ($13.99 for a large), or the romano pizza splattered with pepperoni, sausage, philly steak, and bacon ($15.99 for a large). The grilled eggplant and verdant fillings of the veggie delight wrap ($6.59) offer a tastier alternative to nibbling on various houseplants; a buffalo chicken stromboli ($7.59–$15.59) or one of the homemade hoagies ($6.29–$6.59) reenergize patrons who have spent long hours writing a book in binary code. Tony's menu varies with each location, so check each restaurant's website for a complete listing of its belly-tickling fare selection.
Bacco welcomes diners with warm confines and a menu brimming with hearty Neapolitan cuisine. Appetizers such as the brick oven-roasted long hot peppers, stuffed with beef, pork, and veal, provide tongues taste of Italy without licking a passport ($8). Pasta lovers may partake of platters such as the baked-ziti-al-forno entree, mixed with ricotta, mozzarella, and pomodoro sauce before being blissfully baked in the restaurant's brick oven ($16.50). Dishes such as the pollo florentino, pasta-topping poultry sauteed in a white-wine lemon broth ($17), flavorfully hint at why the chicken crossed the road, and the bistecca filetto's grilled duo of bacon-wrapped sirloin filets swiftly satisfy the most carnivorous of appetites ($23). Patrons can entwine fingers and fork tines amid Bacco's dining room, or may sip wine ($5–$8 a glass) or beer ($1.75–$4.75) on the outdoor patio.
Tongues savor the flavors of Il Giardino Pizza Cafe's lunch and dinner menus in a dining room where Pavarotti and Bocelli's arias waft past a traditional tuscan décor of potted plants and roman columns. White garlic sauce or, if it's after Labor Day, marinara sauce drenches an oceanic starter of mussels or clams ($9.50), and lunch's meaty quartet of capicola, salami, pepperoni, and ham stacks muffuletta paninis ($8.50) with piquant protein. Crème fraîche and yellow peppers ornament the spinach-ricotta-dolce pizza ($10.75), and the grilled-salmon salad's ($12.99) title character waltzes atop a stage of leafy spring-mix greens. Veal marsala ($20.99) joins up with the BYOB eatery's house-made bread, and the spaghetti pescatore ($22.99) yields more pasta than Strega Nona's magic pot.
For pizza at Pasta Mista, there's the traditional toppings and then there's boardwalk-style: a thick layer of mozzarella on the bottom, a heap of tomato sauce on top. It's one of a few twists on Italian you'll notice on the menu at this BYOB restaurant. You can get time-tested toppings such as imported plum tomatoes and sausage on more than 15 specialty pies, as well as a few unorthodox add-ins such as honey mustard dressing or a decoder ring. Try veal and chicken covered in Marsala wine sauce, too, the vegetarian Stromboli, stuffed with mushrooms and green peppers, or the pescatore, which has mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp covered in a white wine sauce.
Pizzas at Baked On Main are served hot, bubbling, and square. The unusually shaped pies are topped with equally unconventional ingredients?the Thai Chili Pepper, for instance, sports a piquant sauce with pineapple and bacon, while the meaty Main Street Favorite includes pepperoni, italian sausage, and ham. Those uniquely gourmet touches also extend to rustic flatbreads, which can be customized with additions such as caramelized onions and spinach, and freshly carved gyros harvested straight from the gyro patch. And the eatery doesn't skimp on the sides, either, loading mac 'n' cheese with bacon, garlic bread with cheese, and caesar salads with chicken.

How are the suicide rates in Finland again? Grades and test results isn't everything. Stop using Finland and Singapore as examples of good school systems, please. Education is more than PISA.
When we talk about how our education system is failing our students, there are a lot of different options presented on how to 'fix' it. Everyone has an answer, a promising new way of thinking, a potential magic bullet. Inevitably, we also examine school systems that are working as a part of investigating what to do or not to do with our own.
And one of those that is working and is almost always mentioned is Finland. Their students regularly top the charts on global education metrics despite a lack of homework and more away-from-the-desk time during the school day. No homework is a pretty drastic measure in most people's minds, so how does it work?
The handy infographic below takes a look at why homework doesn't seem to be a necessity given the structure of the rest of the system. Do you think a Finland-esque education system would work here in the US? Why or why not? Weigh in by leaving a comment below, mentioning @Edudemic on Twitter or leaving your thoughts on our Facebook page.
How are the suicide rates in Finland again? Grades and test results isn't everything. Stop using Finland and Singapore as examples of good school systems, please. Education is more than PISA.
What information do you have, that makes the talk of suicide rates relevant, to an article about homework?
Could there be other reasons for the high rates?
I am so glad to be reading this. I wrote a post on my blog about my views on homework and how they have developed over time. One thing though – I am really curious about the demographics in Finland and socio-economical status of the majority of the families. I feel poverty really affects and challenges our educational system. Putting money on tests is NOT going to change things.
"I have battled over the concept and purpose of homework for years. When I started teaching, I had a very firm belief – homework was extremely important. If children were to be successful at school, then homework was not an option, it was a necessity.
I clearly remember running copies of thick packets of homework for students to take home every Monday and return it every Friday. It felt great. The more, the better…They are practicing. They are getting better with each page they complete I thought."
There are some crucial mistakes in that article
1) pupils are given homework from the first grade. The homework is essential for learnimg.
2) classes consist normally over 20 pupils. There is normally one teacher in the class, sometimes a school assistant in some lessons if there are several children who need assistant
3) There are classes for children who have behavioral or learning difficulties.
So the arguments given in article do not explain why Finnish students achieve high points in PISA. I wonder if the writer has confuced Finland to some other European country
Maria Byman
Theacher for children of special needs.
This graphic leaves out the substantial commitment to the welfare state in Finland. The government evens the playing field by, for the most part, eliminating poverty and making sure kids have health care, enough to eat, etc.
Do you think the fact that you had to make an infographic for stuff I just read, might be part of the problem?
"Homework is rarely given until students are teenagers"…then what?
Your "facts" don't really explain the absence of homework and how it works.
As a Finn and father of now 3rd grader: Yes there is homework. Even in first year of school there was some homework, every day. Where do you get these "facts"?

well I was bottling up a batch of a belgian wheat beer I made, it was a bit of a noob/mongrel recipe that turned out not too great. Every so often though, one of the bottles would taste exceptional...it kept me drinking it , since i thought the bottle conditioning must be the cause. Well, the very last one I tried was really quite good, reminded me of a Dubbel, like a Westmalle and you know what? That last bottle was a Westmalle bottle. Maybe I didnt wash these good enough and some of their yeast survived the starsan bath? Is this a possibility? Would the bottling yeast that Westmalle uses be so good that it can make a sorta similiar grain bill taste like a westmalle?
Very unlikely. If you were that careless your bottles would most likely be infected by something other than left over Westmalle yeast.

Vet clinic finds success in first 100 days
Friday, January 4, 2008
At a glance
• Tuesday marks new veteran clinic's first 100 days
• Feedback has been "mostly positive," clinic manager says
• Clinic serving 125 to 150 patients
• Manager expects "many more" in the next 100 days
Craig Tuesday marked more than the beginning of a new year for the Craig Community VA Telehealth Clinic - it also marked the clinic's first 100 days of operation.
"I think it's been successful," clinic manager Dave Newman said. "Obviously there's room to improve.
"As a new clinic, we've had some obstacles to overcome, but the feedback has been mostly positive."
Years of work to found a health care clinic in Craig for Northwest Colorado veterans paid off in September 2007 when the new clinic, 551 Tucker St., opened for business. The clinic serves male and female patients.
It features technology that allows patients to consult via video conference with physicians in Grand Junction, thus being a more convenient option than making the long drive there for treatment.
Newman said the clinic currently serves about 125 to 150 patients, and that he expects "many more" in the next 100 days of operation. He said he thinks anywhere from 400 to 600 veterans will be using the clinic by summer.
Bill Harding, Moffat County Veterans Service Officer, said the clinic has been largely well received by local veterans using the service. However, the clinic hasn't necessarily relieved the need to transport veterans out of town for medical treatment.
He said his office has had no drop off in requests for transport, and is averaging about 10 trips per month, mostly to Grand Junction, for veterans to receive treatment they can't find locally. About 12 to 18 veterans need to go out of town each month, Harding said.
"Based on some guys' medical condition, it's better for them to go to Grand Junction where they can see a specialist," or obtain treatment not offered by the clinic, Harding said.
The Veterans Service Office also helps veterans coordinate trips to Denver, Sheridan, Wyo., and Salt Lake City for medical care, Harding said. The trips are funded by the county, grant allocations and the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post.
Still, the clinic's presence is a welcome addition, Harding said. The clinic, combined with the option to go out of town means "most veterans are being served," he said.
The Craig Community VA Telehealth Clinic is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. To make an appointment, call 866-206-6415, ext. 2778.

A large part of what has and what will continue to make the Telehealth clinic a success is Mr. Newman. He is a vet himself, a decorated combat vet, and he really does care about other vets. The VA, for once, hired somebody who is concerned about providing help and service to veterans. They didn't hire another non-vet "bean counter" type that doesn't give a damn about vets. The veterans community in Craig really caught a "good bounce" this time. We've got one of us looking out for us.

Assurant advertises short-term policies — with numerous exclusions and high deductibles — as gap coverage for people between jobs, using the slogan "because anything can happen." But those policies expire after six months, and Smith contacted Latham in August to urge her to replace the policy with a long-term one that would offer more benefits. Just how and when the application got done remains a matter of some dispute, but a policy was soon issued for Jennifer, Eden and Jackson Latham. (Alex Latham was excluded from the long-term policy, for reasons never clarified at trial.)
Yet it soon became apparent to the Shieldses that Assurant was refusing to process Jennifer's medical bills, submitted by providers in the wake of the crash. Shortly before Christmas, a letter arrived from Assurant underwriter Kathy Sellers, stating that a review of Jennifer's medical records had revealed several pertinent items she hadn't disclosed in her application, including a "uterine prolapse with surgical resolution discussed," incontinence, an ER visit for shortness of breath and some "abnormal" diagnostic tests. The letter stated that Latham had fifteen days to return a consent form, removing herself from coverage, or the company would revoke her children's health insurance, too.
The letter didn't make much of an impression on Jennifer at the time; still deep in the fog of her head injury, she was pleased at the idea that she'd be getting a check when the company refunded her premiums. But the doctors had urged her parents to push Jennifer a bit, get her involved in "adult" decisions about her care. On December 28, she called Sellers to demand an explanation. The call was recorded by Time.
"I have been turned down for being covered, and I don't understand why," she said.
Sellers started reading off the answers given on Latham's application.
"I didn't fill that out," Latham responded.
Sellers mentioned the uterine prolapse — a slipping or sagging of the uterus, a condition that's not uncommon among women who've had vaginal delivery of several children.
"It doesn't say anything about that in the application," Latham said. "My question to you is, is every single thing that ever happened to me in my life, I'm supposed to record?"
It was a short, awkward conversation, interrupted by howling kids and Jennifer shouting at someone, "Get away from that!" Sellers promised to send Latham a copy of her application.
The Shieldses showed the rescission letter to Marc Levy, the lawyer whom they and Alex's parents had hired to try to deal with auto insurance issues surrounding the accident. A veteran of insurance defense work, Levy was astounded. He calls Sellers's missive the "stupid, stupid, stupid letter," a reference to a fatally callous insurance document in John Grisham's The Rainmaker.
"I defend insurance companies for a living, and I was offended," he says. "Shocked, really, that any company would treat an insured that way. My clients don't do that."
As Levy saw it, the letter offered his client something akin to Sophie's Choice: Relinquish your contract or we'll cut off your kids, too. In Colorado, there are only two ways for a company like Time to legally rescind an insurance policy: Obtain a court order or the consent of your policyholder. This looked like an attempt to bully Latham into consent. And what were the stated reasons? An episode of incontinence? Shortness of breath? Were these conditions asked about on the application? Had she been diagnosed with some specific disorder? Even if she had, Colorado is an "intent" state, meaning that the company has to show the applicant intended to deceive the company rather than innocently omitted something.
A member of Levy's firm wrote back to Sellers, asking for more information and more time to respond, given the holiday and Latham's condition. A response was promptly received, stating that the company is "currently conducting a review based on your appeal."
A few days later, one of Latham's medical providers called Time to find out if the company was going to reimburse a $70,000 bill that had been submitted. That conversation was also recorded by the insurance company.
"The claim is here," Time's customer service rep said. "There is a pre-existing investigation that has been opened."
The rep hinted darkly about the patient's "undisclosed medical history." When the provider asked if the bill was going to be paid, the rep let her know just how seriously the company was considering Latham's appeal.
"It's not going to be paid," he snapped. "I can guarantee you that."
A New York native raised in Oklahoma, Marc Levy comes across as a born litigator, with an appetite for the contentiousness of the courtroom. But as Jennifer Latham's dispute with Time Insurance crept toward trial, her attorney recognized that the case was spiraling into a rarefied — and costly — level of conflict. Levy had never seen a bad-faith case he considered quite as blatant as this one, or an opponent more doggedly determined to deny any wrongdoing.
"I think there's a business model here," Levy says. "The insurance company knows that if they deny a hundred claims, 95 of those people are going to go away. They know that five of them might consult with a lawyer, and that two or three of them might get a lawyer to take their case. And they know they're going to make it very expensive and protracted for those people to pursue their case."

Guiding you to some of the deepest and most secret areas in search of wild mushrooms.
An activity the whole family can enjoy whilst providing fresh air and good exercise. Our forager will take you on a light-hearted and educational experience through the forest or along the coast finding, identifying and collecting wild edible food.
In the Spring the walks can include a hedgerow harvest such as wild salads and vegetables and through the Autumn we forage for fruits, nuts and berries. On a trip to the coast you can gather seaweed and shellfish.
For the mushroom stock 2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped 1 leek, roughly chopped and washed 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped 30 ml vegetable oil 500 g button mushrooms, washed and roughly chopped 30 g dried ceps, soaked for 2 hours in a little warm water & Wild Mushroom Trimmings 10 g thyme/Savory 10 black peppercorns 1 bay leaf
For the risotto 350 g carnaroli rice 60 g butter Mushroom stock (see recipe) Salt and freshly ground white pepper 90 g butter 60 ml double cream 400 g Chanterelle & Saffron Milk Cap mushrooms, prepared and cleaned 5 g parsley, finely chopped
1. First make the stock. Gently cook the onion, leek and garlic in the vegetable oil without colouring until soft. Add the rest of the ingredients cover with about 2 litres of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 1 hour skimming occasionally. Strain through a fine meshed sieve and keep hot if using straight away. The stock should be strong in flavour, if not reduce it until the flavour is concentrated.
2. To make the risotto take a thick bottomed pan, melt the butter add the rice and stir for a minute on a low heat with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the stock a little at a time, stirring constantly and ensuring that each addition has been fully absorbed by the rice before adding the next. Season with salt and pepper.
3. When the rice is almost cooked add 60g of the butter and the cream, check the seasoning and correct if necessary.
4. The risotto should be a moist consistency, not too stodgy.
5. Meanwhile cook the mushrooms in the remainder of the butter.
6. Stir the mushrooms into the risotto with the parsley and serve immediately.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."
