Manufactured by Dry Defender, our heavy duty 6-gauge vinyl covers are waterproof, soft and durable. Our zippered vinyl covers encase the entire mattress - top, bottom and all four sides - protecting it from food spills, stains, bedwetting, pet accidents, bed bugs, dustmites and more. The seams have been electronically welded to prevent moisture leaks, and are certified bedbug-proof. The antimicrobial treatment slows the growth of mildew, mold and fungi.
These heavy duty covers feature the patented Bugstop Seal, an impenetrable rust-proof zipper enclosure that effectively keeps bedbugs, dust mites and other allergens from infesting your mattress or box spring. The Bugstop Seal is a piece of sewn tape that keeps the zipper locked in place, ensuring that your mattress is well-encased and protected.
These vinyl mattress covers are very durable and are designed to fit Queen size mattresses (60 x 80") with a depth of 9, 12 or 16 inches. Make sure to measure your mattress depth to order the right sized cover for your mattresses and box spring. If between sizes, be sure to measure up as these covers do not stretch.

1 stars, Disappointed
By Bonnie from New Orleans, LA on 2014-12-17
I was very disappointed. When we got the cover on our King size mattress, I noticed the seam was split about 1 to 2 inches. It appeared to be defective rather than slip from installing, as there was no sign of fray. Do to needing additional help to manage the large mattress, we just left it. Would not order again.

Best Uses: Cover Box Springs, Primary Bed, Guest Bed, Cover Box Springs For
Significant smell for 3 days....it would be good to open it out and leave it outside for about 3 days before putting on bed; this is to be expected for a vinyl product but I didn't think about it until I already had someone there to help me put it on the bed.
2 stars, Zipper broke off after 1st zip-up.
By Jen the conscientious daughter from Hagerstown, MD on 2014-10-14
Bought this based on reviews for my 86-year old incontinent mom. I was able to cover her full deep new mattress easily w/16." But as I brought zipper to completion, it broke right off. Luckily, there is a peel-off seal to cover the end.
4 stars, Remove Before Moving
By Kathy D from Seattle, WA on 2014-10-06
Pros: Easy to put on
Cons: Ripped In Transit
Best Uses: Primary Bed
I just moved into a new apartment and per the lease was required to cover my mattress. After reading reviews of cheaper products, I went with this one. Ultimately, it was easy to put on and held up well. Unfortunately, it was not so "heavy duty" to avoid getting a slit during transit (which may well have been the movers' fault). I sealed it up quickly with packing tape, but it was disappointing to undergo repair so soon after purchase.
5 stars, outstanding quality bed cover

4 stars, Durable vinyl cover, hot
By Tim The Toolman from Gainesville, FL on 2014-10-01
Pros: Sturdy
This vinyl mattress cover has so-far been more durable than products I bought at big-box stores. It hasn't ripped after a few weeks of usage. It does retain a lot more heat than thinner vinyl covers, which may necessitate fewer covers (or, potentially, removal of the vinyl cover).
1 stars, dont jusdge a book by its cover

We bought the zippered mattress protector to protect our mattress from our pets or spills. It has saved our mattress a few times. I have had waterproof mattress pads that were washable, but over time they did not stay waterproof. Our playful cats did put some holes in our last vinyl pad eventually, so we bought another. I feel it is worth the money paid. I do not have any comfort issues with use of this product.

Strengthening the peace in Vietnam
Vietnam may have been America's war but Canada was heavily involved — for and against. Canada harboured American draft dodgers and helped supervise ceasefires. But at the same time, about 30,000 Canadians volunteered to fight in southeast Asia. And there was Canada's involvement in secret missions, weapons testing and arms production. CBC Archives looks at Canada's role in the Vietnam War.
• While the U.S. Congress never officially declared war on North Vietnam, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed on Aug. 7, 1964, is considered the beginning of the Vietnam War. President Lyndon Johnson requested this resolution against North Vietnam after North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked a U.S. destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin.
• The war ended on April 30, 1975, when Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese.
• The roots of the conflict go back much further. From 1946 to 1954 the Vietnamese resisted French efforts to regain the colonies they abandoned during World War II. Known as the French Indochina War, this conflict came to an end with the signing of the Geneva Treaty in July 1954.
• The treaty temporarily divided Vietnam into north and south along the 17th parallel and was to be followed by free elections and reunification within two years.
• Backed by the United States, South Vietnam refused to negotiate with communist North Vietnam over the elections because they feared the communist government would be voted in. The elections were never held and the resulting escalation of hostilities developed into the Vietnam War.
• Vietnam remained divided into two nations until July 1976 when they merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, more commonly known as Vietnam.
• The International Control Commission was made up of members from Canada, Poland and India.
• Canada served as a member of the ICC for 18 years.
• In 1973 Canada was asked to serve on a similar body, the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS), along with Hungary, Indonesia and Poland.
• Lester Pearson was minister of external affairs from 1948 to 1957 and prime minister from 1963 to 1968.
• In April 1965 he made a speech at Temple University in Philadelphia suggesting the United States halt bombing of North Vietnam.
• Pearson was the only head of government in any western country to denounce the bombing.
• Paul Martin Sr. was minister of external affairs from 1963 to 1968. He was succeeded by Mitchell Sharp, who filled the post from 1968 to 1974.
• Indochina generally refers to the nations of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
• The Indochina War is the 29-year war waged in the area, generally broken into four phases:
- French Indochina War (1946-1954)
- Vietnamese Civil War (1954-1964)
- Vietnam War (1964-73)
- Conquest of South Vietnam (1973-75).

Holmgren stays calm when it matters most to key Seahawks' win
In Seattle's NFC wild-card playoff win over Washington on Saturday, Mike Holmgren showed in five plays why he's probably the most dangerous coach in the playoffs, John Clayton writes.
SEATTLE -- Saturday's home playoff game was slipping away, and Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren could feel it in the air.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck got greedy and made bad decisions, throwing two interceptions to Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry.
Returner Nate Burleson misjudged a high kickoff and simply missed the ball, allowing the Redskins to get a scoring chance at the Seahawks' 14. Washington quarterback Todd Collins beat the Seattle defense with two play-action pass touchdowns in a 2-minute, 15-second span at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The talk all week was that this could be Holmgren's last stand, that an emotional loss in this NFC wild-card playoff game could send him to retirement. But that wasn't happening at Qwest Field.This game was a chess match of great coaches. Gibbs' staff is one of the most thorough in the game. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams had his defenders so sharp in adjusting to Hasselbeck audibles that at one point Shaun Alexander suggested to Hasselbeck to try fake audibles. At times, that didn't work. What worked was the mind of Holmgren at a time it appeared the game was lost.
Washington led, 14-13, with 8:03 left in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks opened a drive at the Redskins' 42. Holmgren displayed the calm, cool and collected nature of a masterful playcaller.
"Matt would tell you this, too, that he forced two balls for interceptions," Holmgren said. "We were moving the ball on the drive previous, and he threw the interception. Then Gil Haskell [Holmgren's offensive coordinator and conscience] reminded me to stay with the stuff that Matt knows and that he is comfortable with and what we have done all year long. It was good advice."
Holmgren started with a short pass to the right to tight end Marcus Pollard. It was incomplete. For second down, Holmgren went with Maurice Morris, the back he uses in passing situations. Morris ran to his left for a 4-yard gain.
That's when Holmgren's aggressive nature emerged. Remember, Holmgren was at the Redskins' 42 to start the drive. Now, at their 38, all he needed to do was call a short pass to get a first down or set up a field goal.
Instead, he sent his two outside receivers on fly patterns down each sideline, hoping for one to get open. The pass was covered on the left, leaving Hasselbeck one option on his right. Burleson was covered tightly by cornerback Shawn Springs, but Hasselbeck threw the ball anyway.
"We've been in the playoffs five years in a row, and no matter what goes on, you're taught in the playoffs to win the play," Alexander said.
Burleson won the play. The returner -- who admitted misjudging the kickoff minutes earlier -- gave Springs what Burleson called "the Randy Moss nudge" and grabbed the contested ball for the first down at the Washington 23.Holmgren followed with a 3-yard running play that set up his most aggressive call of the day. He called a play installed just this week for the Redskins and for Landry, Washington's aggressive safety. Normally, D.J. Hackett takes a play-action pass route to the outside. This time, Holmgren called for a double move -- not seen before on game tape -- to get Landry to bite and leave Hackett open in the deep secondary.
Hasselbeck's pass was on target for a 20-yard score. That call gave the Seahawks what became a 21-14 lead -- they added a two-point conversion -- and basically won the game. The Seahawks can thank Holmgren, but Holmgren thanks Haskell. "Gil brought me back to the things that we do pretty well," Holmgren said. "The touchdown was a new play that was designed this week. Their free safety was very active, and we thought we could get a little move down the seam, and it was worked nicely. We did stay aggressive. I had a talk with myself about that on the sidelines, saying that I was going to do that." Holmgren is a fiery coach. He admits that at times he gets too caught up with the emotions of the game. In an Oct. 9 game against Pittsburgh, he lost his cool. When Hasselbeck got sacked before the half, he got mad, Holmgren beet-red mad. Although the coach had three timeouts at his disposal, he lost his focus and didn't call any. The Steelers took control in the second half, not giving him a chance at redemption. "I learned a few years ago that as angry or as upset as I may be, it does absolutely no good, particularly with a quarterback, to remind him of something that he already knows," Holmgren said of staying away from Hasselbeck after a mistake or an interception. " We had a little cooling-off period like we always do, and then we're off to the next series and the next play. That's the best way to handle it." Holmgren knows to stay away from his quarterback for at least 45 seconds. No one had to remind him of Hasselbeck's blunder with 9:42 left in the fourth quarter. Hasselbeck forced a long pass to wide receiver Ben Obomanu. Landry followed Hasselbeck's eyes and ran right to Obomanu, intercepting the pass. It was a bad decision by Hasselbeck. He didn't need to be reminded. "It was a great job of play calling by Mike," Hasselbeck said. "We had been struggling. I had been struggling a little bit, not throwing the ball very accurately. I think we were down by one, and we needed a field goal but we wanted a touchdown. He called some aggressive throws downfield. We got the rhythm going. We got our tempo going a little bit." The 20-yard touchdown pass to Hackett was followed by a two-point conversion pass to Pollard. Down by seven, the Redskins collapsed. Collins threw interceptions to Marcus Trufant and Jordan Babineaux that each Seahawk returned for a score. As far as his future is concerned, Holmgren is taking things day by day, minute by minute. He admits the losses are harder for him to take. He admits decisions by officials affect him even more. During Saturday's game, he blew up temporarily when referee Walt Coleman called an incompletion on what appeared to be a fumble forced by Patrick Kerney off the hands of Collins. Holmgren tried to challenge it. Coleman explained he had it as an incompletion all the way. Later, Holmgren was furious a replay official challenged a spot on a fourth-down spot in the final minutes of the first half. "I'm trying to deal with the officials in a more clear manner and set a good example for my ballplayers," Holmgren said, setting the interview room of reporters laughing. Now, it's on to Green Bay next Saturday for a divisional playoff game. Holmgren, a former Packers coach, has a street named after him there. It's also on to Green Bay for Hasselbeck, who made highlight history in a playoff game against the hosts during an overtime coin flip there. After this victory over the Redskins, he officially opened Packers week with a repeat of his overtime statement. "I want to just say right now that we want the ball and we're going to score," Hasselbeck said. "OK, I said it. I mean it. Thank you." Although Saturday was tense, Holmgren and Hasselbeck could have a laugh together.

We have limits on how detailed it can be, so we do our best with what we have.
For the constraints involved, Annihilater consistently nails it.
compared to the placeholder, this thing is amazing, cant wait to use it
Agreed. Now my fleet will be beautiful.
Amazing! The amount of details seems fairly greater than the other ships!
Ill actually want to use this ship now, I hated spawning the older one
Finally something I won't regret using as one of my early capital ships!
Are the engines supposed to be octagonal? If not, surely you can sacrifice some polygons in the detail areas to add polygons to the engines.
SoaSE titans have less polygons than this ship. We're really pushing it to give you this much detail. Appreciate the beauty crammed into 10,000 polygons and be happy we exist.
Why was this ship allowed so much detail compared to all your others?
The Phoenix-class is a relic of a ship from the start of the Human-Covenant war. It's occasionally refitted into a warship, as in the case of the Spirit of Fire, and primarily focuses on planetary invasions.

IDC: Apple extends lead in tablet market
In a bit of news that should surprise almost nobody, IDC & Macworld reported on Thursday that Apple has increased its market share of units shipped in the tablet market to almost 70 percent worldwide.
By the numbers, Apple shipped a total of 17 million iPads in the April to June quarter of 2012, boosting its market share from 61.5 percent for the same quarter of 2011 to 68.2 percent this year. In that quarter of 2011, Apple shipped 9.24 million iPads, so a year over year comparison shows a growth of 84.3 percent.
According to IDC, the majority of consumers favor the iPad over competing tablets, and Apple also gets the nod in vertical markets like education. Shipments of iPads do appear to be slowing in mature markets, but sales growth for the iPad in other regions is robust.
In the number two spot of the tablet market for the quarter was Samsung, with 2.4 million units shipped and an almost 10 percent market share. Amazon's Kindle Fire has surged from a slow first quarter of 2012 to ship 1.25 million units for a 5 percent share of the market.
Asus and Acer came in at fourth and fifth place, with Asus seeing a year-over-year increase in shipments of 115.5 percent (885,000 tablets shipped). Acer, on the other hand, had a drop of about 40 percent in sales from the same quarter in 2011, shipping only 385,000 tablets.
While Apple's currently at the top of the heap, analysts expect more competition in the tablet space beginning in the second half of 2012, with new Kindle Fire models from Amazon and a number of new devices running Windows 8 and Windows RT.

GOOD QUESTION!: If people are driving less, why are gas prices rising?
Published: Sunday, March 23, 2008 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 21, 2008 at 7:16 p.m.
If people are driving less, why do gas prices keep rising?
People are indeed driving less. Gas consumption has fallen about 1 percent since late January.
Yet, gas prices are on the rise. Gas has averaged more than $3 a gallon for four straight months and, more recently, has surged into record territory. Estimates of how high gas prices will go this year vary from $3.50 a gallon to $4. But virtually everyone agrees prices have higher to go before they fall.
This disconnect between demand and price may seem to violate fundamental rules of economics, but gas prices are actually responding to demand of a different kind: From investors.
Contrary to the views of many conspiracy theorists, gas prices aren't set by refiners or gas stations as part of a campaign to gouge consumers. Prices are a function of the open market, as manifested in the trading of futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange, or Nymex.
Nymex gasoline futures have been rising, following oil, despite growing supplies of both commodities. Blame the falling dollar, which has made dollar-denominated oil contracts irresistible to foreign investors and to any investors looking for a safe haven for their money during a turbulent time in the stock market.
This buying by investors has pushed oil futures to a series of records in recent weeks, and the rest of the energy complex - which includes gasoline futures - has followed.
Unfortunately, consumers pay for this investment frenzy in the form of higher pump prices. And despite mounting evidence that Americans are cutting back on their gasoline habit - and may cut back even more drastically as gas gets more expensive - it may be some time before prices start responding to lower demand.
If it's any consolation, the companies that refine oil into gasoline - and the mostly independent gas stations that sell it - aren't making much money off the transaction. Crack spreads, a measure of the difference between the amount refiners pay for oil and what they get for selling the products they make from it, have fallen into the $5 to $7 per barrel range from $15 to $17 in mid-February, analysts say. That's down from records in the $30 range last spring.
Large integrated oil companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips have generated record profits from the sale of oil, but those gains have been limited by falling refining margins. Contrary to popular belief, oil companies don't refine their own oil; their production units sell the oil they pump to the highest bidder, and their refining units buy the oil they refine from the least expensive source.
Gas stations are lucky to make a few cents a gallon selling gas, and may actually lose money on the sale when people pay at the pump with a credit card and buy nothing else.
"You make a lot more money off of selling a cup of coffee today than you do off a gallon of gas," said Scott Hartman, chief executive of Rutters Farm Stores, a York, Pa., company that owns 51 gas stations and convenience stores.
Some gas stations have decided enough's enough. The owner of one gas station in Bushnell, Fla., has let his pumps run dry and hasn't ordered gasoline in a month. He said oil companies are charging so much money for gas that he can't make a profit selling it.

I have to get a copy of this famous TIP SHEET!
Please send to email@example.com. I'm trying to plan a trip for my extended family to Southern France to celebrate my father's 75th birthday.
I don't know what a Tip Sheet is but you should never post your e-mail address in a public forum unless you want to get loads of spam. I would delete your post and ask your question again. People will respond to your question right here on the forum without the need for private messaging. If you are looking for tips on visiting the south of France you should be more specific about what it is you need help with. "Southern France" is an enormous area with literally thousands of places to visit and things to do. Try narrowing down your area to a region, such as Provence, Dordogne etc. Guidebooks are always the best place to start if you know nothing about an area and I like The Michelin Green Guides. You'll also get even more in-depth information from tourist office websites, like this one for Provence:
The above is a regional tourist office website but there are also websites for individual towns/cities/villages, like this one for Avignon:
The more specific you are with the information you provide, the better the answers you will receive. You should also state whether or not you are planning to rent a car.
I seem to remember from long ago that Toutou sent people a tip sheet on the area.
She might be along soon, or else you can send her a private message - but please remove your email address, as it's never a good idea to give such info out on an open forum
I got one a while ago. I think it was from a destination expert. I showed it to a friend who knows Provence well and she made lots of other suggestions! She also mentioned the tourist information websites, which were very good. It would be nice if all the tips were posted on here, so that other people could comment.
You may look a this blog
with plenty of tips about st remy and around.
Here's a link to TouTou's profile page here at TA... send her a PM and she'll no doubt send you her latest tip sheet:

Any way to work around this? Also is there anything I can do about the hot spot in the top left corner, or do I just have to live with it or exchange for a different model?

Child Support Income withholdingMost new or modified child support orders require employers and payor of funds to automatically withhold basic support, medical support, and child care support obligations from a noncustodial parents pay or other sources of income. The withheld funds pay the noncustodial parents child support obligations. CriteriaThe child support agency will direct the employer or payor of funds to withhold funds from the noncustodial parents income if the court order contains and automatic withholding provision. ExclusionsWaiving income withholdingIn cases involving modifications of support, the court must also make findings that payments have been made timely. When income withholding beginsOnce the child support agency indentifies the obligors employer or payor of funds, a notice to withhold support will be sent. Employers have 14 days to process an order or notice to withhold. Employers must begin withholding no later than the first pay period following this 14-day time period. Employers must continue withholding until the child support agency notifies them in writing of any changes to the order. Employers must remit the support they withheld within seven business days of the date the employee was paid the remainder of the income. Income withholding for current support and arrearages has priority over any other attachment, execution, garnishment, or wage assignment. The Consumer Credit Protection ActThe amount withheld by the employer or payor of funds for child support must not exceed the limits imposed under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. If the noncustodial parent is subject to multiple withholding orders or notices of income withholding for the support of more than one child, the payor of funds must comply with all of them as long as the total withheld doesnt exceed these limits. The United States Department of Labors Employment Law Guide provides more information about wage garnishment. If the employer cannot withhold the total support amount due, the noncustodial parent still owes the amount that is not withheld. When income withholding endsWhen a case is closed, the child support agency will notify the employer or other payor of funds to stop income withholding for current support. If the case is still open and income withholding ends for any reason, the noncustodial parent is responsible to make the payments and send them to the Child Support Payment Center. Noncustodial parents may ask the child support agency to automatically withdraw support and maintenance payments from their checking or savings account. The employers failure to withholdThe employer or payor of funds can be held in contempt of court for failure to withhold the noncustodial parents income for child support. Minnesota Child Support Online gives noncustodial parents a record of all child support payments and how the money has been distributed to their cases. If a noncustodial parent suspects the employer is not forwarding withheld payments to the Minnesota Child Support Payment Center, the county child support worker should be contacted.

Of course we all know
that this is MUCH bigger than just obummer.
Who is it that provides funding for all this tyranny? The congress.
The fact is, that every congress critter and admin. bureaucrat that has violated his oath needs to be criminally charged.
So who is going to do that? No one. Because the FBI is part of it.
There is only one way to rectify this tyranny and I think we all know what that option is. Broken arrow.
Hitler may have been defeated but the people that put him in power were not. So here we are.

Oil prices down but future of Libya oil industry uncertain
Oil prices declined sharply on Monday after rebels moved into the center of Tripoli with expectations that Libyan oil exports could resume soon. Brent crude fell more than $3 to $105.15 a barrel, a drop of 3%, while US crude declined almost a dollar at $81.30, a 1% drop, Reuters reported.
There are conflicting estimates regarding Libya's ability to resume oil production. Some experts expect Libya could be pumping 1m barrels a day within months. However, pessimistic estimates claim it will take three years to rebuild Libya's oil capabilities. Before the war halted exports, Libya was pumping some 1.6m barrels a day – nearly 2% of global supply. Most of it flowed to European refiners.

According to today's New York Times Chris Christie went to ?the heart of liberal darkness? yesterday ? and kept his cool.? The occasion was a lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Christie was on his best behavior as he praised his audience for being ?among the leaders of our educational future.?
He also admitted to having ?struggled a lot? with the issue of the combative and abrasive language he often uses in talking about education. Apparently, not for long. According to reporter Richard Perez-Pena, Christie ?said he would not change his tone until the teachers' union, the New Jersey Education Association, agreed that schools are in crisis and showed more willingness to make major changes.? Said Christie:
I have to convince the public that the house is on fire.
And he got an ovation from the crowd, according to the report, when he said, ?The reason I'm engaging in this battle with the teachers' union is because it's the only fight worth having.?? That should make the transportation department, parks and recreation, corrections, banking and industry, and the other? state agencies very happy.
Education ?reforms? abound today, yet the sluggish pace of actual changes wrought by those new policies, programs, and practices demands a fresh look at public education's basic structures and operating arrangements. What America needs in the twenty-first century is a far more fundamental approach to ?re-forming? K-12 education. Our ?marble cake? policy structure of overlapped local, state, and national responsibility for schools has proven more adept at blocking or slowing needed change than at advancing it?a problem aggravated by our practice of (in most places) separating ?education governance? from the regular leadership structures (and election cycles) of cities and states. Indeed, ?local control? as traditionally construed needs a makeover, too. We are gearing up a three-year effort?in partnership with the Center for American Progress?to put governance at the center of the education-reform conversation. Expect to see much more from us on this important topic in the coming months.
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="250" caption="Click to watch a video of this commentary, as part of Fordham's recent event Are School Boards Vital in the 21st Century?"][/caption]
The shortcomings of elected local school boards are only the most obvious of the many problems of education governance in the United States in 2011.? To be sure, those boards are a fundamental part, maybe the largest part, of our customary governance arrangements, but my discontent with them is just part of my larger dissatisfaction with all traditional governance and structural arrangements for K-12 education on these shores.
These arrangements, though they differ some from place to place, generally display four characteristics that make them obsolete at best and dysfunctional at their all-too-common worst:
First, while formal constitutional responsibility for educating kids belongs to the states, the actual delivery of that education falls squarely on local education agencies, typically called districts, which are geographically defined, most often by the boundaries of a city, town, county, or other municipality. Kids are generally educated in public schools operated by these districts.
Second, though states have shouldered some responsibility for financing public education, usually by decreeing a minimum or ?foundation? level of per-pupil spending, sizable portions of education revenue are locally generated through property taxes, bond levies, and such. Those amounts differ enormously from place to place within the same state and are uncommonly vulnerable to interest group manipulation...
In case you missed it, here is the video of our April 26 event, Are Local School Boards Vital in 21st Century America? It was a great discussion; our excellent panel consisted of: Anne L. Bryant, executive director of the National School Boards Association; Gene I. Maeroff, founding director of the Hechinger Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University and author of School Boards in America: A Flawed Exercise in Democracy; Christopher S. Barclay, president of the Montgomery County Board of Education, Maryland; and our own Chester E. Finn, Jr., president of the Fordham Institute. The group was moderated by Fordham Institute Executive Vice President Mike Petrilli.
Obviously you can watch the video in full. But here's?one overview/summary that was written about the event. NSBA has posted a write-up about it, too.?And below we've pulled together a few highlights of our own as well?. thanks to Fordham's Daniela Fairchild, who tweeted the entire event. (paraphrased)
Anne Bryant: School boards are the connection to the community. ? Not all school boards are perfect. Nothing is perfect. Checker Finn isn't perfect. (laughter erupts) ...School boards are transparent and accountable to public and members want reform.
In a generally positive profile of Jean-Claude Brizard, Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel's pick for new Chicago school system chief, the Sun-Times applauds the nominee for ?the charismatic way? in which he refused to talk to the paper's reporter, who then notes that that?.
?is typical of the ambitious former physics teacher who emigrated from Haiti as a boy, used the U.S. education system to drag himself up by the bootstraps from housing project poverty, then applied the same zeal to reforming the system that helped him, say friends and enemies alike in this upstate New York city of 210,000.
This jumped out at me in part because of the recent Joe Nocera Limits of Reform op-ed column in the NYT ? please see my Education Unbound* and the accompanying Comments (other interesting Comments on the Education Next version) and my Culture of Poverty?or the Poverty of Culture? post in Flypaper last October.
My argument about poverty is simple: there are too many millions of people like Brizard who ?used the U.S. education system? to drag themselves out of poverty to count them as exceptions that prove some demography is destiny rule.? (I'm sure Randi Weingarten would agree.) There are also too many charters and charter networks and private systems (e.g. the Catholics) that are getting the job done to dismiss them as anomalies.
No, these successful ? and, yes, increasingly replicable and scalable ? school (not social service!) systems are educating poor kids...
Forgetting for a moment the perhaps unfortunate coinincidence of another Bush governor taking his state education formula national (remember NCLB?), we have a pleasant story in today's Times about former Florida governor Jeb Bush traveling the country talking education.? In fact, there is much to admire about what Florida has done ? see Checker's Let's Hear it for Florida! and Eric Hanushek's Florida Positions Itself at the Forefront ? and this story mentions some of them:
He has hopped around the country to campaign for candidates, hold meetings and lobby for Florida-style changes. They include private-school vouchers, online courses and requiring third-graders to pass reading tests before they move up to fourth grade, rather than being pushed along with their peers ? or ?social promotion.?
We learn that Bush's Foundation for Excellence in Education ?received $2.9 million in 2009 from the Gates and Broad foundations, ?among others,? and that he has been ?closely involved? in education reform initiatives in a half dozen states, including Minnesota, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Utah. Go, Jeb, Go.
Is he running for president?? Of course not.
Though Mike wouldn't allow me anywhere near today's Fordham event, Are Local School Boards Vital in 21st Century America? I will answer the question here: Yes, more so than ever.? But if you're not in Washington this afternoon and can't make it over to 16th Street, tune in on the Web, 4pm.
The discussion features Anne Bryant, head of the National School Boards Association; Chris Barclay, president of the the Montgomery County (MD) Board of Education; Checker Lost at Sea Finn; and Gene I. Maeroff, Founding Director, Hechinger Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University and author of School Boards in America: A Flawed Exercise in Democracy.
Here's the quick argument for ?more so than ever?: ?If we are able to create differentiated instruction for children using digital technology, we should be able to use computers to put the demos back into education governance.? Like it or not, school boards as an expression of our democratic values and practices are vital.
--Peter Meyer, Bernard Lee Schwartz Policy Fellow
The Fordham panel on school boards this afternoon, most of which I caught on the web, was an important one and I recommend it to anyone interested in school governance issues. (We were told that the video should be available on the Fordham website by Thursday).
I would like to make four quick observations prompted by the discussion:
1.? Size matters.? It seems clear that we need to think along two tracks in redesigning school governance structures for the future: forms of direct democracy and those of representative democracy. Clearly, consolidation of authority (either through state-wide governance systems or mayoral control) will take us in the latter direction. The question for Americans, steeped in a culture that prizes autonomy and diversity, is whether we know how to do the consolidation thing very well.
2. Responsiveness matters. Whether it is responding to the parent with a concern about a teacher, digesting a research study on best practices, or meeting the challenges of a crumbling economy, the school system that can adjust to such varying kinds of inputs is no doubt better off than one that can't. The need to be responsive on these various levels is what should guide us in working out governance issues for the future.
3. Finances.? This is the toughest nut to crack and I got no special insights from our panelists on the subject today (though I admit to taking a couple of breaks and may have missed something). The best...
Unfortunately, in his Limits of School Reform essay this morning, the newest op-ed columnist for the Times, Joe Nocera, shows the limits of logic in thinking about the subject ? or writing about it.? After throwing up the standard straw men ? ?At its core, the reform movement believes that great teachers and improved teaching methods are all that's required to improve student performance, so that's all the reformers focus on,? ?reformers act as if a student's home life is irrelevant,? ?Dodd [the teacher] does everything a school reformer could hope for?? ? he rolls out the woefully tired and hopelessly unhelpful nostrum: ??What needs to be acknowledged, however, is that school reform won't fix everything.?
Thanks, Joe. I didn't know that.
In fact, Nocera, who wrote the Talking Business column for the Times before landing the plum assignment on the paper's prestigious op-ed page, will one day see this essay as beginner's jitters.? He does hit all the high notes ? the ravages of poverty, the lessons of James Coleman, the further lessons of Richard Rothstein, even bringing in Joel Klein as the heartless reformer who thinks a student's home life is ?irrelevant? ? but ends up being completely off-key,? forgetting that we now have dozens, if not hundreds, of schools that are succeeding in educating poor children. He also conveniently forgets that the Catholics have been doing it rather successfully for many decades, if not centuries. And, in fact, Nocera ignores most of the last...

Hi guys....regarding dampening. I have the acoustastuff and using the CSS EL70eN which I got from Dave. Does anyone have experience on the amount of stuffing needed below the driver. The drawing indicates 20 - 40g. Now I believe this acoustastuff is quite potent and that a person should use it sparingly. Should I go for 20g or has someone got a figure from practical experience with this driver?
Many thanks |

diyAudio Moderator
I have had no feedback from users and we have not yet built a proper set with EL70. I ship 40g of acoustastuff with the flat-paks for this position. Room & room placement, amp, taste all play a role so anything beyond a range is hard to nail down.

Hi Dave, thanks I understand. Just thought there might be a "golden" number to start from. A value that would have been used if this was a commercial speaker sent out to a store where the buyer's scenario is unknown.
Not to worry, I'll start with 20g and work from there. Cheers " |

I read through the whole thread over the past week and wanted to see what you guys thought about using the JX92S in the FH3. I have some left over from the group buy way back, and while their T/S parameters aren't exactly similar to the Alpair 7.3, they could be a lot further off. They have the same xmax but a larger cone area which should make them even more bass heavy than the Alpair 7.3.

Cone area does not equate to 'bass heavy' -the higher Vas may in fact result in attenuated LF output. Since Fran has tried it & liked the results, as Dave says, it seems there is a reasonable chance of you being happy.

What data tool is used to support Firepond CPQ OnDemand
Firepond's Interactive Configurator Suite (ICS) is a set of data maintenance tools, shared libraries and APIs that supply configuration capabilities to Firepond CPQ OnDemand. Some of the tools provided are:
Product Data Manager (PDM) - Used to create, populate and maintain the configuration database. Data entry personnel do not need to be programmers. Since the rules are easy to create and understand, there is less chance for error. And if there is an error, it is easier to locate and correct. The Product Data Tester (PDT) allows the data to be tested to ensure it produces the desired results.
Importers - A variety of importers provide the ability to import data from a variety of sources. The PDM also directly imports XML and ODBC data sources.
Configuration Engine - The "brain" behind the product configuration and pricing process. The engine uses many "solvers" to ensure the product and option selections are valid, and that the correct pricing is applied.

heyHEYOhSorry chapter 1 . 1/26/2011 GREAT KEEP GOING KEEP GOING KEEP GOING KEEEP GOING KEEP GOING! |
evershort chapter 1 . 1/25/2011 Aw, this was cute. I like that you had Jade be calm. I mean, obviously, something was wrong with her. But you didn't have her burst into tears, you had Beck hold her and give her silence...and I think that's really in character and something most writer's here skip out on. So anyway! I vote for more, cause I'm me and I'm kinda greedy like that when it comes to angst, but also cause I think this was a great start for something longer. (It works on its own...but I'd love to see more) :D. |

A Chefs Life with Vivian Howard begins on WUNC!

- Follow
Sorry for basically no notice (behind in reading my e-mails) but this series begins tonight at 9:30 (9/12). She & her husband Ben have The Chef & The Farmer in Kinston. Should be good!
re: brentk
It was in late 2011 I believe, and they reopened around March of 2012. I ate there not too long after they reopened (sooooooo good.) The restaurant shown in the first episode looks slightly different to me up front, so they may have been taping in 2011, but I could be wrong.
The first episode was great! Similar to Mind of a Chef, but I really enjoy her readaptation of Southern food. It should be a pretty great series, looking forward to the next episode already.

I so wanted to watch yesterday and forgot about it. I understand UNC-TV is not going to have additional showings.
OK update for those like me who missed it South Carolina Public TV has put it on line

re: burgeoningfoodie
What? WUNC are the call letters of both the flagship NPR radio station for the Triangle, as well as the state's public television network.

re: chazzer
Thanks for clarifying. I guess I have the radio on more often than the TV!
I was posting quickly to try to alert anyone (like me) who may have forgotten the premier time/date.
Luckily 'hounds are a bright and resourceful bunch who can figure things out!
Edit: I tried to use call letters rather than just PBS to to indicate the broadcast region. So glad there is another chance to catch it on line.
re: burgeoningfoodie
Maybe WUNK was what it was back in East NC.. Oh well. As we Jews say.. ish kabibble.
Regardless, I went before the fire as they were just getting the space ready for the wine shop area of the restaurant. It was great but not extraordinary except for that region of the state. I was happy that my hometown finally had something that it could call an actual reason to go out for a meal instead of King's.

How is music while your snowboarding gay? I snowboard WAY better with it on because it helps block out the half of my brain that's trying to make me worry about everything and it gives me motivation to ride harder. I ride much harder with music while mountain and road biking as well.
Hiking I don't listen to music since hiking is more of a nature thing.

They make mp3 players that are the same size and shape as flash drives. They break far easier than more robust mp3 players do, though... so it is probably better to have a system where you can hook up whatever kind of audio source you want (phone, mp3 player, radio, psp, tablet, cassette tape walkman, etc.)

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Dominik Hasek's Resume
by Alanah McGinley on 04/26/07 at 10:12 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Michael Rosenberg at the Free Press,
Is Dominik Hasek the best goalie ever?
There is no clear answer. But Hasek has to be in the conversation, right? He has won six Vezina Trophies as the best goalie in the league. Only Jacques Plante, with seven, has won more.
"Right now is not the time to think about a legacy," Hasek said. "Right now, at this point of the season, you think about the next round, the next game. Maybe I can think of it when the season is over." At 42, Hasek looks suspiciously like he did when he was 37 and 32 and 27. He looks like one of the top three goalies in the world.

This boozy but balanced St. Patrick's Day punch combines Guinness, cider, and whiskey. First, freeze nonalcoholic and hard apple cider into an ice block. When you're ready to get your drink on, pour the beer and more hard cider into a punch bowl and add the ice block. Pour the whiskey over top of the frozen cider, and as the cider block thaws it'll give the punch the sweet-tart flavor of a Black Velvet cocktail with a whiskey back.
Game plan: Make sure to start your ice block either the day before you want to serve the punch or early that morning. Also, make sure the punch bowl is wide enough to accommodate the ice block.
- 1Pour 3 bottles of the hard cider and all of the apple cider or juice into a 12-cup Bundt pan and freeze until solid, at least 8 to 10 hours.
- 2When ready to serve, pour the Guinness and the remaining 2 bottles of hard cider into a 7-quart punch bowl. Float the ice block in the bowl and pour the whiskey over it. Serve immediately.
