Anyone know the best way to shorten a soaker hose? I have a 10 foot patch to set one in... and a very long hose. I assume I have to cut off the end and secure it somehow. Duct tape???
Maybe a better question is -- where can I buy a 10 - 15 foot soaker hose??? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just got some hose end connectors at Hdware Store, seems to work pretty good. |
That's what I did too. They have the end connectors or you could double the end and wire it together to hold the water in. Penny |
The hose menders for 1/2 and 5/8 hose work just as well on soaker hose. I like the plastic ones held on with two screws,they are also reuseable. Al |

My soaker hose needs to be shortened from the end that the water source attaches to - horrible grammar. 90% of the water that enters my soaker is spraying out a leak about 15 inches from the hose connector. Can one move that end? |
Easy fix, get a new end at store and cut off where you need it to be and attach. |
In a pinch you can fold one end over and secure it with a zip tie (aka cable tie). |

I made a soiless mix using grit (2), akadama (1), perlite (1), and peat (1); and planted some tatsoi seedlings in an 8 cm cup that has plently of holes at the bottom. They are under 2x39W T5HO tubes with a fan blowing at all times. The temperature is 76-78F, relative humidity is 40%. I water every 2nd day; usually the top layer of the soiless mix appeared dried before I add water. Yesterday I noticed some white mold developing, mainly on the peat, but I also see those hairly, web like mold on the akadama and grit as well if I look closely.
I searched this forum for the keywood "mold" and realized most type of mold won't do harm to the plant, and I had probably watered too much which leads to molding. However I had a fan running at all times, air circulation is extremely well, and I only watered every 2 days with just enough water to come out at the bottom. I wondered if there are any other factors that could lead to molding. Our tap water is PH 8.4, so I added a bit of white vinegar to lower the PH to 6.2. Can vinegar contribute to mold? Eventhough a bit of mold is probably fine, but I'd still like to get rid of, or prevent it if possible. Would microwaving the peat before use be any good? How about replacing the peat with coir? I heard coir suppresses mold. Here is my Tatsoi seedling, note the white powder like mold on the peat:
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't really answer why your medium developed mold, but I can tell you from experience that cocopeat will develop mold, too... in the strangest colors I've ever seen! Quite some time ago, I was told that cocopeat was a great product for container growing, so I tried it. I found that it held way too much moisture for long periods of time, and it did mold in strange orange, red, yellow, blue, and green molds that I had never seen before! I abandoned its use. Today, I use a mixture of fir bark, perlite, granite chips, and turface. I also have some Leca or Akadama for other growing purposes. My guesses would be an environment kept too wet... or items that weren't as clean and sterile as you may have thought? I'm not really sure. |
The medium looks great! Are you sure it's not just from water wicking to the top & evaporating, leaving dissolved solids behind (the 'mold')? Al |
I'm very sure its mold, because it is looking even more moldy today! I tried to remove the moldy pieces and the whole top layer of the mix is like a pancake. Held up the cup and looked at the bottom holes, I see mold there too! (There is also a root sticking out, is it time to transplant to a larger pot?) Perhaps my medium might not be clean and sterile to start with, as I used them straight from the bag...am I suppose to rinse them with boil water or microwave them before use? I have a few "test pots" that I started a week earlier, they aren't doing well either because I put in too little mix; however they aren't molding - the only difference is that I microwaved the peat for those pots. Perhaps microwaving the peat first would help? |
I have another question regarding when to transplant. The cups that I'm using now is 3" diameter x 4" tall, most of the seedlings have one pair of true leaves. I'm growing mainly greens and brassicas, shall I move them up to a larger pot step by step (several transplants), or shall I move them to their final pot now? For example, I have some cabbage seedlings, they'll eventually go into 10" pots. Shall I move them now? Or keep them in the same cup until there are 3-4 pairs of true leaves? Then move them to an intermediate 6" pot or the final 10" pot? I'm confused. |
Since I don't know what you're dealing with (the mold), I can't help much. Steam sterilizing or microwaving until the moisture in the mix is turning to steam should kill mold spores, though. How large you can appropriately step up to in pot size is closely tied to your choice of soil. You need to be very careful about how large the pot you bump up to is when using heavy, water retentive soils, but as the soil porosity increases and the ht of the PWT decreases, it becomes commensurately less important; until finally, when the PWT is very low or nonexistent there is no limit to pot size on the 'up' side. You're safe if you pot up at any point before the root and soil mass can be lifted from the pot intact. Root masses left to become congested beyond that pivotal point should be expected to have a permanent negative effect on growth and vitality unless corrections are made by root pruning efforts. Al |
Thank you Al :-) I transplanted several of the non-moldy ones (which happen to be the first test batch that were planted in paper cups with too little mix) into 8" pots yesterday. Some of the roots were grown into the paper cup, I did my best to be as gentle as possible, but still broke a few of them when trying to get them out. Let's hope they will survive the transplant. I decided I will just leave the moldy ones in their 3" pot, and harvest the young leaves when they outgrow that pot. Greens grown in moldy mix is not harmful, is it...? Besides the presence of some white mold, the seedlings appear very healthy to me. |
Plants grow in harmony with thousands of species of fungi/mold - some beneficial. I wouldn't get all afluster over it unless I saw some convincing evidence the apple cart was about to get upset. ;-) Al |

Unsafe Nurse-to-Patient Ratio
2Jun 22, '09 by keithjonesFrom Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice 8th edition
"Unsafe Nurse-to-Patient Ratio
- A pattern of unsafe nurse-to-patient ratio can be caused by staffing problems, be they temporary or longer term.
A series of actions to best resolve the problem includes:
- Address this unsafe situation verbally and in writing to the nurse unit charge nurse with copies to the nursing supervisor and director of nursing.
- This will likely prompt action by the hospital, such as creating an as-needed pool of nurses to call for such situations, hiring more staff or, in the interim, securing contracts with outside nursing agencies and utilizing agency nursing personnel.
- Although the employer is liable for the acts of the employee performed within the scope of employment, the nurse will not be exonerated should a patient's care be compromised in a setting of an unsafe nurse-to-patient ratio."
My summary " If you tolerate poor ratios and don't say anything, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! :trout:
I noticed it stops far short of suggesting ratios.David13 and herring_RN like this. - A pattern of unsafe nurse-to-patient ratio can be caused by staffing problems, be they temporary or longer term.
4Jun 22, '09 by emmalou*Well it would be great if this article stated what a good patient/nurse ratio was ... for example only 1 ICU patient if unstable, 2 ICU if stable, 4 in acute general wards on an early shift, no more than 20 patients in aged care etc. (forgive me if my ratios are a bit out, it's been a while since I did the bedside thing).
I do agree in theory that nurses need to start sticking up for themselves and not back down from unreasonable workloads but ..
It's a bit difficult to stick up for yourself in terms of reasonable patient ratios when you don't have anything formal or legislative to back you up (in my experience). I've had nurse managers tell me that 'everyone else' seems to be able to handle things so why can't I? I learned early on not to complain TBH, it only seems to backfire on me and sadly, that seems to be the culture of nursing in Australia - take it on the chin, don't complain and for god's sake don't show any weakness.
That said, back in the day when I started nursing (in the 90s) we had 6 patients on early shifts in the public hospital wards and now apparently nurses have no more than 4, so I guess somebody took some notice. I'm of the opinion that it was the nurses strike a few years back that brought that about though . It caused a fuss at the time in terms of the public's opinion of nurses but it seemed to bring about some change. -
3Jun 22, '09 by CherybabyI think the most challenging nurse to patient ratio comes in LTC facilities. They are hugely understaffed. I have seen nurses have 40+ patients on their wing with no help. That's a good way for mistakes to occur and for patient care to be lacking.
But it is true that if you don't speak up, then you are part of the problem. I agree with that wholeheartedly. -
2Jun 22, '09 by classicdame Guideassigning numbers is an arbitrary method and does not consider the variations from one patient to another. One patient can be a job and two sometimes are a breeze depending on acuity. I hope the new law in Texas will help solve this issue. It calls for every hospital (don't know about other facilities) to have a team of nurses help decide staffing.
0Jun 22, '09 by David13there should be a policy in place that outlines the appropriate actions for a nurse to take when declining an unsafe assignment. the safest recourse is to refuse the assignment and then take these steps, carefully documenting each step of the way. the alternative, taking report and accepting the assignment, places the nurse's license in jeopardy. management and administration will not be considered at fault if an error occurs or if a patient is injured under these circumstances, because the nurse accepted the assignment.
if there is not a policy in place for nurses to decline an unsafe patient assignment, there should be an immediate discussion with administration to see that one is outlined as soon as possible. this policy should include a formal means for the nurse to document his or her concerns.
working toward a solution through policy implementation and documentation is not easy, and there is always a concern of possible repercussions from management. working with state legislators to obtain laws for safe staffing ratios is an alternate option, but one that could take a considerable length of time to come to pass, particularly considering that each state must act individually. if, however, we do nothing and continue to accept unsafe patient assignments, both the nursing profession and the community for whom we provide care will be the ultimate casualties.Last edit by David13 on Jun 22, '09 -
0Jun 22, '09 by herring_RN GuideI think a law can help. Some LTAC hospitals especially have a history of unsafe staffing. This bill applies to them too!
It requires staffing by acuity with a ratio setting the maximum number of patients that may be assigned to an RN.
Text of S.1031 as Introduced in Senate
A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to establish direct care registered nurse-to-patient staffing ratio requirements in hospitals, and for other purposes
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1031/text -
0Jun 22, '09 by travel50The last time I worked at a hospital (15 yrs ago), the staffing became really bad. I was the charge nurse for the telemetry floor. Then they decided to take the end of the hall and make it into a peds floor. I was to be charge over that as well. That is where I drew the line. I was happy to be charge over either one, but not both. There was not staffing for that, so I was told. So I just quit. I recognize that with the shortage of nurses in certain areas, you can't always find the help you need. But I am not willing to put my license at risk either.
0Jun 22, '09 by AllSmiles225People need jobs right now and the very few things out there seem to be the jobs that others didn't want to take. I currently have a position with a 60 patient med pass. There is a charge nurse if things head south but for the most part I'm it. It's not safe nor is it where I imagined myself after graduation, but guess what? Sometimes there's just NOTHING else. LTC DEFINETELY has the biggest safety issue.

1,000 ml * 12 = ?
Divide 60 by the above number to get the cost per ml.
750 ml * 12 = ?
Divide 40 by the above number to get the cost per ml.
I'm sorry Ms. Sue, but I'm an arithmetic-challenged adult and my face is quite red:
I divided 60 by 1000 and got 0.06
Did the same with 40 and got 0.0533
How do I know which is cheaper since the 2nd one has less content (only 3/4 of liter as opposed to one full liter?
Please forgive my taking your time again, and thanks so very much! :o)
1000 * 12 is not 1000
1000 * 12 = 12,000
60/12,000 = $0.005 per ml.
The way to compare these is to find the cost per ml.
What is the cost per ml for the other box?
Thank Ms. Sue!
I multiplied 750 x 12 = 9000
I divided 9000 by 12 = 0.00666
So...the smaller bottles are then more expensive despite the fact that the price tag is lower.
Thanks again a lot! :-)
Why did you divide 9,000 by 12?
You need to divide 9,000 ml by the total cost.
Oh I'm sorry (I'll never get this into my cerebrum!)...
The lower price tag is indeed cheaper. This time I got 0.00444. This makes it one tenth of a cent cheaper?
I'll write this little formula for my future purchases. Thank you so much!

An unbroken third-wicket stand of 248 between centurions Liam Dawson and James Vince helped Hampshire score 362-2 on the second day of the LV=CC match at Grace Road.
Hampshire had a solid start as they moved to 114-2, opener Sean Terry (57, 123b) sharing 50 and 64 with Jimmy Adams and Dawson respectively.
Dawson (136*, 228b) and Vince (145*, 168b) then played delightfully in putting on Hampshire's highest third-wicket stand against Leicestershire.
It was the second time this season that particular record had been broken, with Dawson also featuring in the previous best when putting on 141 with George Bailey.
Vince has been in superb touch recently and it showed, the majority of the talented young batsman's boundaries coming through the covers and mid-on.
County's wickets came from Ben Raine (18-2-66-1) and Shiv Thakor (10-1-32-1), while Alex Wyatt bowled superbly without picking up any tangible reward.
Leicestershire made three changes to the side that drew at Lancashire. Matthew Hoggard returned to play his final game in professional cricket, and Wyatt and Thakor also came back into the XI.
The trio came in for Nathan Buck, Ollie Freckingham and the injured Matthew Boyce, so Niall O'Brien led the side for the first time. Hampshire also made three changes with Sean Ervine, Danny Briggs and Ruel Brathwaite returning for Michael Roberts, Chris Wood and David Balcombe.
O'Brien won the toss and elected to field first, and play was able to get underway on time after yesterday's washout. Hoggard (20-2-72-0) bowled the first ball of the game, and Terry glanced down to fine leg for four.
A chance came at the end of the over as Hoggard found the edge of Adams but Michael Thornely couldn't hold on at first slip. Terry flicked his second four in the third over of the morning but runs were generally hard to come by as Hoggard and Wyatt (20-4-68-0) posed plenty of problems.
A double change came after 13 overs as Tom Wells (11-2-31-0) and Raine were introduced. Although there was the odd loose delivery, the young seamers followed Hoggard and Wyatt's lead by bowling good lines and extracting plenty of movement.
Three pleasant strokes brought Hampshire boundaries, starting with a Terry drive down the ground. Adams (14, 58b) then struck through the covers before Terry cut through backward point. The Hampshire 50 came up at the start of the 19th over but the first wicket was just around the corner.
Raine found Adams' outside edge with a really good delivery and O'Brien completed the dismissal. Wyatt was reintroduced at the Pavilion End in place of Wells and he bowled a beautiful second over back.
The seamer asked Terry questions by swinging the ball both ways, and O'Brien was alert to a stumping opportunity as the young opener was batting out of his crease. The batsman just got back but he was certainly being kept on his toes.
Terry responded well by glancing the first ball of Wyatt's ninth over down to fine leg for four before edging a Hoggard jaffa through the cordon for four. Dawson, who had earlier driven for four to get off the mark in style, twice pulled James Sykes (11-0-47-0) to the ropes as Hampshire went in on 83-1.
County had kept a lid on things but runs came more freely after the interval. Dawson tickled Thakor for four in the first over and Terry drove Wyatt down the ground as he moved to 47. Dawson pulled Wyatt to the fence before Terry drove through mid-on to record a 112-ball fifty with his 8th four. That stroke also brought up the 50-stand as well as taking the score into three figures.
Dawson again pulled Wyatt for four before Terry nudged down to fine leg as Raine re-entered the attack. Leicestershire then made an important second breakthrough as Thakor, who changed to the Pavilion End, trapped Terry in front.
The in-form Vince hit two well-timed drives to the fence while Dawson also played a stunning back foot stroke to gather four between those efforts. Vince hit a trio of fours down to third man off Hoggard before driving Raine with élan through the covers to register another boundary.
Dawson flicked his 8th four of the innings to register a 79-ball fifty and a driven three took another Hampshire stand to 50. A cracking inside-out stroke off Sykes brought Vince a seventh four while Dawson picked up an all-run four in the 55th over.
Vince powered two drives through mid-on, and a glance to fine leg registered Hampshire a batting point. Vince was now on 49 and a single took him to a 65-ball half-century, the landmark including ten boundaries.
Dawson twice guided down to the vacant third man boundary in the penultimate over before tea, the second of which brought up the 100-run partnership. Vince played a dismissive pull before Dawson again struck down to the vacant third man boundary in the tea over bowled by Thornely (4-0-19-0). Hampshire went in on 224-2 with Dawson on 86 and Vince 57.
Hoggard had a loud appeal for a catch down the leg side in the first over back but Vince survived. The batsman then took the attack to the bowlers; he struck Sykes for six and four over mid-on before driving consecutive Hoggard deliveries for to the cover boundary.
Vince was now on 87, just one behind Dawson, and his side had two batting points. Dawson drove through mid-wicket to move into the nineties. The stand reached 150 in the 74th over before Vince had a moment of fortune. the batsman nicked the returning Raine but the ball was very wide of O'Brien and went for four.
Both batsmen went on to post hundreds, with Dawson's coming from 164 balls with his 13th four. Vince followed a beautiful drive through extra with a single as he moved to the milestone from 119 balls with 16 fours and a six. It was his third LV=CC hundred in as many matches.
Hampshire were 287-2 after 80 overs and the new ball was taken immediately. A wonderful drive from Vince raced for four and although he had now overtaken Dawson in the scoring stakes, it wasn't for long as the number three struck two more fours. Hampshire had now recorded their third batting point.
Vince nicked the luckless Wyatt through the slips for four before producing another of his trademark drives through mid-on to pick up another boundary. A brace from Vince took the stand to 200 before the batsman timed strokes through extra and backward square leg to perfection to record boundaries number 20 and 21.
Dawson then punched through mid-on to gather his 16th four before Vince swept to the ropes as Sykes returned. Angus Robson and Ned Eckersley then had an over of spin apiece before stumps.
Dawson pulled Robson (1-0-11-0) down to fine leg for four and Vince then cut to the ropes as the 350 came up at the end of the 95th over. Vince struck Eckersley (1-0-10-0) down the ground for four before Dawson profited from four overthrows from the last ball of a good day for the visitors.

For a while now Microsoft developers have been working on adding handwriting support to the Android app. The feature, which appeared in the newly released beta app last month, lets users add notes in a way that is sometimes more convenient or useful than typing. Writers can use their fingertips or a stylus and then tweak their notes with a number of options. The feature is particularly useful for scribbling thoughts in the margins of a scanned document.
In a post to Google+, CyanogenMod has announced "the death of Power Widgets," offering up an explanation of CM's new solution: a Quick Access Ribbon.
Power Widgets, as the post explains, have been a hit since their birth in CyanogenMod 7, but have languished both in terms of maintenance and usefulness ever since. Their redundancy took another hike with the introduction of Google's Quick Settings shade in stock Android.
"Soon," the post goes on "we will say goodbye to the notification power widgets, discarding their 3000+ lines of code for a sleeker (only 370 new lines), newer, and more efficient method of toggling your settings."
The new implementation will offer a sleek, slim ribbon of quick settings tiles determined by the configuration of the actual Quick Settings shade, and will allow the CM team to offer functionality similar to the old power widgets without maintaining a separate stream of code.

Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls responded to Rep. Steve Chabot's Wednesday attempt to block federal funding for Cincinnati's streetcar construction by calling it "an outrageous interference in local government decision-making." The Enquirer today recapped the situation, which involves Chabot adding the following amendment to a massive federal transportation bill: "None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to design, construct, or operate a fixed guideway project located in Cincinnati, Ohio." The amendment has little chance at being included in the final passage of the bill, as the Senate and President Obama would both have to approve and sign it.
A parody video of a Western & Southern PR representative explaining why the insurance company should build condos at the site of the century-old women's shelter has earned a response from W&S.

"We think it's a distraction from finding a win-win for all involved." The video is no longer available on YouTube, however, due to "a copyright claim by Canipre inc."

Conservative presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is busy today trying to clarify a comment he made Thursday that indicated reelecting President Barack Obama would be better than electing Santorum's Republican rival, Mitt Romney.
Santorum's comment, made in San Antonio, Texas, at the USAA insurance company, drew criticism from Romney, Newt Gingrich and other Republicans.
"You win by giving people a choice. You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there," Santorum said in San Antonio. "If you're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future."
Romney quickly fired back about Santorum's comment.
"I am in this race to defeat Barack Obama and restore America's promise," Romney said. "I was disappointed to hear that Rick Santorum would rather have Barack Obama as president than a Republican. This election is more important than any one person. It is about the future of America. Any of the Republicans running would be better than President Obama and his record of failure."
Not to be left out, Gingrich took to Twitter to join in the symbolic thrashing.
"Rick Santorum is dead wrong. Any GOP nominee will be better than Obama." Gingrich tweeted.
This morning Santorum's campaign released a statement that sought to clarify what the candidate meant. (How many times has that phrase had to be used in relation to Santorum in the past few months?)
"I would never vote for Barack Obama over any Republican and to suggest otherwise is preposterous," Santorum said in the prepared statement. "This is just another attempt by the Romney campaign to distort and distract the media and voters from the unshakeable fact that many of Romney's policies mirror Barack Obama's."
Santorum added, "I was simply making the point that there is a huge enthusiasm gap around Mitt Romney and it's easy to see why — Romney has sided with Obama on health-care mandates, cap-and-trade, and the Wall Street bailouts. Voters have to be excited enough to actually go vote, and my campaign's movement to restore freedom is exciting this nation. If this election is about Obama versus the Obama-Lite candidate, we have a tough time rallying this nation."
Santorum might be correct about the enthusiasm gap over Romney.
A new poll found that more people offer negative than positive assessments of Romney. But, tellingly, this also is the case for Romney's rivals — Santorum, Gingrich and Ron Paul.
When Americans were asked what one word comes to mind when thinking about Romney, the top responses were "no" or "no way," and "rich." After those, the most frequently used words were "flip-flopper," "idiot" and "arrogant."
Roughly twice as many respondents gave negative one-word descriptions of Romney rather than positive terms, 30 percent versus 14 percent; just 29 percent used neutral terms.
The most frequently used terms for Santorum, with the exception of "no," were "crazy," "too conservative," "extreme" and "idiot."
A mere 13 percent of respondents used positive words for Santorum, while 30 percent used negative words and 22 percent used neutral terms.
Words most frequently offered about Gingrich were "old," "no," "no way," "idiot" and "untrustworthy."
Thirty-nine percent of respondents used negative terms about Gingrich, compared to 10 percent that used positive terms, and 23 percent that used neutral terms.
The most frequent descriptions used for Paul were slightly better, but not by much: "no," "old," "Libertarian," "honest" and "crazy."
Twenty-seven percent of respondents used negative terms to describe Paul, compared to 15 percent that used positive terms, and 23 percent that used neutral terms.
The national survey was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and The Washington Post. It surveyed 1,009 adults March 15-18.
Of the respondents, 605 were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 404 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 176 who had no landline telephone.
The poll's margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.
In news you've likely already heard from your favorite website, social network, radio station, print publication, TV or the guy in your neighborhood who likes to talk about current events, President Barack Obama yesterday announced his support for same-sex marriage, becoming the first-ever sitting president to do so.

The Enquirer today broke out its Freedom of the Press Card, pressing the city to release details of the bids to build the streetcar's five vehicles. Enquirer Editor and Vice President Carolyn Washburn says the newspaper is being a good watchdog by investigating all the redacted parts of documents released by the city, which reportedly include typical streetcar parts, performance data and personal information of employees. A firm called CAF USA, which won the bid for more than $20 million, is trying to block the release of the data, along with two losing bidders who claim the information is trade secret.

Fortune magazine has taken exception to Mitt Romney's recent criticism of Solyndra, the solar panel company that went out of business despite a $500 million Department of Energy loan.
So last Thursday Romney held a surprise press conference at Solyndra's shuttered headquarters. During his prepared statement, Romney said:
"An independent inspector general looked at this investment and concluded that the Administration had steered money to friends and family and campaign contributors."
Romney then repeated the claim later in the press conference.
Small problem: No inspector general ever "concluded" such a thing, at least not based on any written reports or public statements.

The researchers say sex and sleep still appear to be stronger urges, but tweeting and checking email are more irresistible to some people than smoking or drinking.

"This was very tasty and easy. We loved the cheese and subtle garlic flavor. I will definitely make again. I made it for a special breakfast and everyone enjoyed it!"
"A classic! This recipe is basic and perfect. No need to add anything to it."
"Always a hit at potlucks. Great for any get together, weather served with breakfast food, cookout food or a dinner potluck. Delicious, I have also made it using cream of chicken or mushroom soup instead of the potato soup."
"This was very easy and it had awesome flavor. I didn't have potato soup so I used one can of cheddar cheese soup and one can of cream of chicken soup. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!"
"Made this for dinner at church. It was very well received. I used sharp cheddar cheese and replaced 1 can of condensed cream of potato soup with 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup which is a lot cheaper."

POSTED: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 - 9:44am
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 - 11:54am
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas House Speaker Joe Straus says he has enough support from legislators to secure another term as the chamber's presiding officer.
Straus, a moderate Republican from San Antonio, released the names of 122 lawmakers early Wednesday who he says have pledged him their vote for speaker.
A Republican sweep in the Texas House was expected to impact Straus' chances of winning another term. He's being challenged by Rep. Warren Chisum, a more conservative Republican.
Straus says he is "proud that Republicans have gained a record number of seats in the Texas House, reversing the losing trend for the past three election cycles."
Straus said his pledges of support include 76 Republicans and 46 Democrats.

The term acne comes from a corruption of the Greek UeiB which is, acne in the sense of a skin eruption, in the writings of Aetius Amidenus.
The duration of acne's disappearance (if any) is unpredictable.
Acne Causes
Regular use of it, however, can cause acne. There are a number of prescription medications known to cause it. For the treatment of asthma and other chronic lung diseases, there are the corticosteroids. But beware; they cause acne. Here are some known drugs which produce acne:
For epileptic patients, there is what we call anticonvulsants.
The Biology of Acne
The truth is consistent sun bathing will dry your skin and will cause your skin to manufacture more oil.
It develops for a few weeks or months and continues indefinitely. Again, dead skin cells will mix with this oil and clogs your pores, then traps bacteria inside. Sweat glands result into this work your adrenal glands did, as it produces more oil. Are too stressed so much? Are you eating way too much unhealthy stuff?
Or is it a mixture of so many detrimental factors? Beware. Thus, the result shows:
More acne inflamed pimples rather than the simple blackheads and whiteheads.
Some Common Medications
But it can help to agitate it. Instead, go buy cosmetics labelled as "fragrance-free" or
"hypo-allergenic" for safety purposes. They are safer to use. For safety purposes, buy products which use carmine as an ingredient. If you start seeing bad effects, consider trying a less oily product for your lips. Products labelled as "unscented" may not be free from these aggravating smells. In fact, this was used years and years and years ago, ever since the Aztecs lived here on earth. If there are no bad signs showing on it after three days, then apply the product to a larger part of your skin. Even in trace amounts, the antioxidant zinc is known to heighten the immune system, developing general health – which, of course, is exhibited in the skin.
How about popping?
So do you have the major tendency to stick up your thumbnails and squeeze the culprit?
But you're too scared because everyone else around you says that this shouldn't be done, right?
Well, here's news for you: You could actually do it. If it's ready, it will pop. Here's how it's done:
After taking shower, sterilize a sewing needle through a rubbing alcohol.
Acne Myth
As written earlier, in a short-term duration, the sun might work to clear your acne immediately while your skin turns red. Shocked now and gaping? Well, get a load of these. You wouldn't want that, would you? So why do this kind of regime? Forget staying below the sun for hours and hours if it would just make your skin condition worse. Pores are not clogged from its apex because of what they call the "impurities". It may cause sun burn a sure skin damage.
How to face the problem if your face is the problem.
It would keep your skin clean and healthy free from that sticky and oily feeling.
You wouldn't have any doubts about the effectiveness of the product since you would get results easily.
Yes, your acne will be cured. Who knows? Probably you can be next man or woman to set onstage and to be envied for, just like an ugly duckling who turned to a swan. Never, ever let a skin inflammation ruin this sojourn. You don't have to be scared of facing the world again.

You might have heard the shocking news recently released by the Environmental Working Group that many children's cereals have too much sugar. In fact, some cereals have as much sugar per serving as cookies or twinkies. Shocking, again, I know! I'm proud to say that Sustainable Food Center's The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre was way ahead of its times—teaching participants how to understand nutrition facts labels and ingredient labels—especially in cereal boxes—has been a staple in the curriculum for years now. In the 2nd class of our 6-week series, we teach participants to look for cereals that have no more than 6 grams of sugar per serving and at least 2 grams of fiber per serving. When comparing cereals, it's pretty amazing just how many cereals fail this test. In fact, I've nearly stopped buying cereals all together. Rather, I rely on oatmeal (rolled or steel-cut), yogurt + granola, or muffins (I just made Cranberry Walnut Muffins from The Happy Kitchen cookbook this weekend). Muffins are super convenient because they can be made ahead of time and then frozen. Makes for a fast, inexpensive and nutritious breakfast!

Home / Boots / Heeled / KINGDOM OVER THE KNEE BOOT (Item #1206)
I bought this pair of boots from Victorias Secret several years ago. Im happy CL is still selling them! Let me tell you, the pictures do not do these justice. Once on, if the leg fills them out, they look much more expensive than they do in a photo or off the leg. Im a huge proponent of only buying real leather because I hate the plastic way fake leather tends to look. In this photo, it has that look! But once you have them on, even though any trained eye could see they arent real leather, they still just look great. Ive worn them so much that I had to have the heel life replaced--twice. Theyre sexy without looking like you just walked off a stripper pole. Bit of style advice though, the slight sheen makes them definitely more of a night shoe than day. In my opinion And best part, the cone heel and rounded toe make them crazy comfortable for a pair of heels. Its also the more modest shape of the foot of the shoe that makes them classier than similar platform pairs.

I looove this blush! I love the texture, I love the color and I love the staying power. And I love the fact that I do not have to be extra careful while applying (I always overdo my blush with those ultrasuperpigmented blushes that demand a light hand...). Lover is my new blush staple for every day, and I will certainly buy it again.
I love this blush! The perfect peach blush has arrived. It's so pigmented that I also use it as eye shadow. It doesn't go patchy at all when applied, even when I don;t powder my face. It compliments my pale skin perfectly and could not ask for a better product.
When it comes to blushes, Illamasqua is incredible. I already have Lover, Katie, and Sin is on the way. Their offerings are quite similar to Shu Uemura's M (matte) range, which I can also highly recommend. The quality is top-notch; the product is finely-milled and glides onto your skin. If applied over foundation that hasn't been set with powder, Illamasqua's powder blushes manage to look like a cream product! And the pigmentation? Incredible... insane!
Lover is one of those purchases that I bought unseen, which is probably better because if I had seen it in real life, I'd be too scared to buy it! This blush is a statement; a gorgeous, bright peach. I have very fair skin, so I swipe my blush brush once across the pan, and what's picked up by the brush is enough for one cheek to be covered with medium intensity. For a very light look, I blow or tap the product of the brush or use a stippling / duo-fibre brush.
The result is a fresh-faced, youthful looks that can be either natural, or strong depending on how much you layer / buff it out. I think Lover works very well with a natural look (nude eye, MLBB) because it definitely is one of the items that deserve to be in the center of attention. Another aspect that I like about it is the lack of shimmer / iridescense. Whilst there are blushes that I think would benefit some shimmer (for some reason I'm not a huge fan of matte pink blushes), Lover is one of those that definitely doesn't need it. The strength of its hue is enough to illuminate the face. But if you would still want some additional glow, a little highlighter placed strategically will do the trick.
Illamasqua's Lover is probably one of the best kept secrets in makeup. If you need a peach blush, this is the one to go for because of its saturated colour, versatility and... plain beauty!

Next to Nars you can't get a better blush than this brand. Gorgeous colors, intense staying power, and a flawless finish. Best wishes, jarhanda stewart
This blush reminds me of nars luster blush, but its more of a true peach without tha shimmer, i cant find a good peach blush with as good of a color payoff as this one, i cant find anything that looks like it, i kno mac has sum peach blushes but they havent caught my eye as much as this lover blush has. Very good color payoff and this does make u look brighter, kim k.looks like she wears a peach blush of this color everytime i c a pic of her. Nc 32studio sculpt.
BEAUTIFUL MATTE PEACH! I've had this for a few months now and I swear I've worn it everyday! I can't express how much I love it. It brightens up my face, is truly matte, and wears allllllll day! If you feel the need to shimmer it up it looks amazing with a highlighter over it as well. I've barely put a dent in it, you need very little, so it'll last a long time. I will repurchase, I need a few back-ups. ;)

The pigmentation of this blush is insane. INSANE. This is my first Illamasqua blush and I wasn't expecting much color payoff with such a pale color as I have pale skin already but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely easy to overdo, so be careful with application. All I need is a tap with my blush brush, and the color is picked up so easily because it's so silky. Hello, cheekbones!
The color is a gorgeous matte true peach. A little bit of pink to balance the color so it doesn't look orange. That's the only way I can describe it. Powder blushes tend to oxidize on me but this one doesn't even after a sweaty summer day.
Yes, given the price the packaging should be more sturdy but I have no problems with it. No problems opening it either... I can easily open the compact with my fingers, not my nails like a couple reviewers have mentioned. I love that Illamasqua blushes are matte, and if they're all as pigmented and wearable as Lover is, I NEED to try more...

HG light pale peach blush here!!! Thanks to the other reviews, I tracked this blush down. It's only carried at select Sephora stores.
The pigment is amazing in this powder, glides on like air and stays put through an entire day or night. The color payout is beautiful: very girly, light pastel peach that looks great on light or dark skin. It really adds beautiful color to the cheeks. This is one blush you really have to try on to understand what everyone's raving about. I wouldn't have picked it up based soley on seeing the color in the packaging.
Gorgeous color, quality ingredients but the packaging could be a bit less "cheap" for the price: $23. This is an HG blush!

This is what I wanted Ripe Peach Ombre to be! What a fantastic color..it really brightens up the face in a very natural and subtle way. This is my very first Illamasqua blush and the color just compliments my very yellow/olive skintone. I wouldn't be too concerned with how much product your brush picks up..I don't feel you can really go that overboard with application. I was not impressed with the wear time..this blush seems to wear off my cheeks in just a few hours and I don't even have oily skin on my cheeks!! Now even though the lasting power isn't all there..I'm in love with the color and the fact it's matte.
As far as the packaging goes..I'm really annoyed by it because it's not the easy to open the compact, at least not mine.

This color is the perfect peach shade! It is pigmented, so a little goes a long way. As with any of my pigmented blushes, I use the huge NARS brush and blend well. I don't feel clownish as could happen if you weren't careful. It's gorgeous for spring and summer.
EDIT: This shade is not matching my skin tone for winter but believe it would be better suited for someone with a tan, IMO.

Using Picture Books to Reinforce Math Concepts
By Monica Olivera
In recent years, a mini-explosion of math-themed picture books has hit the children's section in bookstores. More and more educators are taking advantage of these engaging books to help reinforce the math concepts that they are teaching in class, and parents can use them, too.
Counting books are especially valuable tools for helping toddlers and preschoolers learn basic math skills. We're fortunate that there are so many counting books in a variety of themes now available for parents to choose from. As you read these books with your child, take the time to point to each object as you slowly count, and encourage your child to count with you. 123 Si!: An Artistic Counting Book in English and Spanish by the San Antonio Museum of Art is a clever book that not only teaches children to count, but also introduces works of art from around the world. From Egyptian statues to Mexican wooden masks to Korean ink drawings, your child will learn their numbers and get an art history lesson, too!
Learning shapes is one of the basic concepts your preschooler needs to learn before entering kindergarten. When you read shape books, ask your child to point to the different shapes on the page, and then have them find similar shapes around your house to strengthen their abilities to identify circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and the like. With the interactive board book, My Very First Book of Shapes / Mi primer libro de figuras: Bilingual Edition by Eric Carle, your child gets to match the image on the bottom of the page with the correct shape on the top and are rewarded with fun pictures like ladybugs and kites.
Teaching your child about symmetry can seem quite daunting unless you have some visual aids to help you explain the concept. That's why I love Lorren Leedy's Seeing Symmetry, which helps children understand what it is and how to find lines of symmetry in the world around them. Your child will be challenged to find center points, as well as vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry. When you read this book with your child, keep an index card or small piece of paper nearby so you can cover half the image to better explain the concept.
After your children have mastered counting from one to ten, it's time to challenge them to learn how to count to 20, 30, and up to 100. Once they've done this, they can even begin skip counting. Curious George Learns to Count from 1 to 100 by H. A. Rey is a fun to help your child learn these bigger numbers with the help of one of their favorite PBS KIDS characters. And you can continue the learning after you finish reading, by letting your child play the online Curious George math games found in the PBS KIDS Lab.
Of course few children can resist the chance to become a detective and discover the answers to clues and riddles. So if you have a tiny Sherlock Holmes in your family, consider Bedtime Math by Laura Overdeck. Written for children ages 3 and up, this book poses riddles and mysteries for your child to solve. The best part is that this book grows with your child as each story poses three math challenges: one for "wee ones," another for "little kids," and a final one for "big kids." This book is definitely a must-have for all family home libraries.
Older children starting kindergarten and first grade are ready to develop their addition and subtraction skills. The Chicken Problem by Jennifer Oxley and Billy Aronson is a really fun book based on the new PBS KIDS show, Peg + Cat premiering Monday, October 7, 2013. In the book, Peg and Cat are enjoying a picnic on the farm with their friend, Pig. When they discover someone has left the door open to the chicken coop and 100 little chicks have escaped, it is up to Peg and her friends to use their math-solving skills to find a solution and make sure they round up all the little chicks. Your child will love seeing all the different ways that Peg and Cat use math throughout the book.
How to Help our Daughters Succeed in Math
by Maria Lando, TheMathMom.com
Of course girls can do math, enjoy math and excel at math just as much, if not more than boys.
But many of us grew up in a society that did not think that way. As girls, we received little support or encouragement when it comes to math – from family, teachers or mass media.
Luckily, times have changed. Hundreds of scientific studies in the US and around the world have concluded that, everything else being equal, girls perform as well as boys in math – and sometimes even better. One of the latest comprehensive studies conducted across 65 countries found that "mathematic performance of students largely reflects the academic standards and expectations of the community in which they are raised. Specifically, home environment is a primary determinant for success of children in school."
So if the key to girls' success in math comes down to our home enviroments, our communities and our expectations, let's see what we can do to help our daughters succeed in math.
1. Raise your and your child's excitement. Just like reading, math is all around us. When we encourage our children to read, we point out letters and words; we share stories and books; we demonstrate that reading is important, necessary and fun. Treat math similarly. Demonstrate that numbers are everywhere: talk about how many groceries you're buying; compare shapes, sizes and volumes; highlight patterns; count out money at the register; describe measurements while you are cooking. Stimulate your own excitement and the kids will absorb it. You don't have to be a pro and know all the answers, but you have to be excited! For additional reinforcement, science museums and children's museums usually have plenty of math-related toys and special math or engineering programs for kids. There are also quite a few shows on TV that bring math to life. A new preschool math series, PEG + CAT, premieres on PBS KIDS Monday, October 7 – its star is a spirited young girl who saves the day through math, with help from her friends.
2. Offer a math-sports analogy. In sports or ballet, one has to practice the same motion hundreds of times to perfect it and strengthen one's skill. It's the same with math, except it's our brain muscles that need a workout. We all have to "train" no matter what the activity is – soccer, dance moves, identifying shapes, sorting colors or counting to 100! Practice makes perfect, and in the end, it all adds up to one big victory.
3. Find the right context. You've probably noticed how a movie or a book suddenly becomes much more captivating when it matches your age, thoughts, or interests. Blend math into your daughter's favorite things to make it relevant and easier to absorb. If she is fascinated with butterflies, count butterflies outside, or make up some simple butterfly addition problems she can solve. Choose math games and apps that have girl-friendly context. The PBS KIDS Lab also offers plenty of online games and activities with kids' favorite characters.
4. Show her some math role models. It may be your neighbor who is an accountant and enjoys her job, or a woman university professor that's in the news for making a big discovery; a female pilot or an astronaut; or the animator of your daughter's favorite movie. Tell her about them, Google them together, ask your child to imagine how they might use math in their jobs. My own life-math story is here.
Encouraging girls' interest in math is in our hands, and it is not so hard. As with any hobby, encourage it, stimulate it, make it fun… hold high but age-appropriate expectations… and don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.
Starting with the Answer
By Matt B. Gomez http://mattbgomez.com
The hardest part about teaching young learners skills like grouping, adding, and decomposing numbers is giving them an opportunity to discover the "tricks" on their own. Since adults know and see how numbers go together, the instinct is to teach them what we know. It is often difficult to step back and let the learning happen. One of my favorite ways to encourage this process is by starting with the answer.
For our youngest learners, this can be done with simple storytelling. At the beginning of the year, my Kindergarten class often "starts with the answer," and I always try to incorporate a student's interest into the story. For example, Tracy loves alpacas, so I tell the class the answer is 6 alpacas. I then ask the class, "What is the problem?" The kids use their fingers or manipulatives to work out the answer to my question. These problems encourage higher order thinking and, more importantly, allow for many different answers. The kids then share their answers and hear how other kids are thinking about math. Kids teaching kids is always powerful.
A free app I use frequently for this activity is Educreations, a virtual whiteboard that allows you to record both the whiteboard screen and audio as the kids work out the problem. A low-tech option, called build that number, uses playing cards and a "magic number." PBS KIDS also has some great online math games that give kids practice building to an answer in addition. Curious George Train Station is for younger kids and Cyberchase Spaceship Power-Up gives older kids practice decomposing the number 10.
Regardless of whether your child is just starting to learn about addition or is an addition expert, I hope "starting with the answer" will be a fun way to encourage higher order thinking and learning through discovery this summer.
This is What Math Learning Looks Like
By Teacher Tom
As a preschool teacher, I know that there is no reason why math shouldn't be fun for kids.
After all, math is a process of learning increasingly complex and wonderful ways to do things that we like. When we boil it down, math is basically -- patterning, classifying, and sorting -- which is ultimately the foundation of analytical thinking.
We enter the world as mathematicians, exploring all the ways we can order our world and craving an understanding of the logic of things. We repeat our mathematical inquiries over and over.
Tom Hunter wrote a brilliant, simple song, which he later turned into a children's book, Build It Up and Knock It Down:
Build it up
And knock it down
And build it up again.
Knock it down
And build it up
And knock it down again.
Subsequent verses echo the same circular, two-step pattern, so familiar to the natural play of young children. Turn it on and turn it off and turn it on again. Pick it up and put it down and pick it up again. Put it in and take it out and put it in again. It might drive us crazy as adults, it might seem to us like they're stuck, but really the children are simply testing their formula and practicing it until it's second nature: A-B-A-B-A-B . . .
Young children in the course of their play, go on to discover increasingly complex patterns all around them. They use those discoveries to learn important things like how to take turns in a board game and engage in a meaningful process of many steps.
Play itself is impossible without the ability to think logically. That's why we're driven to mathematical play. These are things we really must know in order to satisfy our curiosities. There is no greater motivator than the prospect of discovery.
When we put blocks in a box or when we line things up, we are mathematicians discovering for ourselves the classifications and patterns of the world.
Math is a process of discovery and should be fun for learners of all ages.
The opposite of play isn't work, it's rote. ~Edward Hallowell
Easy Activities That Teach Math Concepts
By Monica Olivera http://www.mommymaestra.com
More and more parents are taking an active role in preparing their young children for school. Chances are if you are reading this, you're one of them. But many parents who focus on teaching pre-literacy skills sometimes forget that teaching basic math concepts are equally important for academic success. And as we discovered in the PBS KIDS survey, nearly 30 percent of parents reported anxiety about teaching their children math.
Matt and Maria have already shared some great ideas for building early math skills with a digital camera or in everyday situations. So I'd like to share some fun activities using household items for children in preschool or younger.
Beans of Every Color
So many teaching opportunities can be found in your own kitchen. I like beans because they can be used in so many different ways. If you have a variety of beans (lima beans, pinto beans, black beans, etc.), you can pour a cupful into the center section of a dip tray, then ask your child to sort them according to color or size. Sorting and categorizing is a valuable skill for young children to master before they learn to graph and analyze data in elementary school.
You might also have your child create their own bean counters using lima beans, wood sticks (popsicle sticks), and glue. Have your child glue 10 beans on each stick and then allow them to dry. This is a fun way to teach your child how to count from 1 to 10 through repetition. Save the counters for future use when your child starts to learn how to count by tens, or to study place value. I have a complete tutorial on making bean counters on my website.
As always, be sure to monitor your child when he/she plays with beans as they can be a choking hazard.
Fruits & Veggies
To teach your child to recognize colors and patterns, fruits and vegetables are handy tools. On your next trip to the grocery store, ask your child to find you a red/orange/green fruit or vegetable. Pick out several different fruits and veggies, and then when you get home, put them in a pile on your kitchen table and ask your child to sort them by color. You can also use this opportunity to talk about the differences between a fruit and a vegetable.
Snack Foods
Animal-shaped crackers, like goldfish and teddy bears, are great props for creating some, more stories to practice basic addition, or some, some went away stories to practice basic subtraction. For example, you can tell your child, three little fish went for a swim. One more came along. How many little fish are there now? Or you might say, five bears got on the bus, but at the next stop, two got off. How many were left?
Ideas App
If you haven't downloaded the bilingual PBS Parents Play & Learn app, you can do so here. Inside you'll find lots of ideas for developing early math skills for children up to five years old. It's divided into 13 different categories of teachable moments, and each one has four activities that are age specific: one for baby, one for toddlers, and two for preschoolers. All the activities use everyday situations to teach math. Some require simple household items, while others use items found on a trip to the grocery store or restaurant.
