Cleaning Pots, Please HELP
I have some hard-anodized aluminum cookware, and the bottom has gotten some oil stains I cannot remove. I have tried Bar Keeprs friend, doesn't seem to help much. Any ideas?
As long as you realize an oil stain does not affect performance and is strictly a cosmetic issue, feel free to use the following...
Here is a link that might be useful: Carbon-Off
Why do you care about a grease stain on a pot you will be cooking in....which is bound to get more grease stains? it still cooks every bit as well....and if the grease stains bother you...buy stainless or enameled cast iron.
Suppose you put the carbon remover on the pot and it takes off some of the anodized coating? Will that make you happier?
Wash the pan so it's claen and ignore any grease marks.
Linda C
Dan: I haven't used Carbon-Off on cast iron, mainly because my CI cookware is in tip-top shape! I have used it on some plain aluminum, and some Weber grill parts, and have no complaints. I found the initial recommendation for Carbon-Off over at eGullet.
SoCalGal: You'll note that the website says DO NOT use on Calphalon Non-Stick cookware. Again, if you feel the need to remove the stain, try a test patch on the bottom of the pot before proceeding.
Hi, I posted on the KT about cleaning aluminum and here is what I learned and it worked.
Make a paste with cream of tartar and lemon juice, rub it onto the area to be cleaned (I did an entire pan) let it set and dry about an hour or so. Scrub if off! My pan looks like new

Please join me, the ICS staff and all ICS families as we seek 100% ICS community support in out technology drive. Did you know that we do not receive funding from the city or state for technology like traditional public schools and school districts? All of our technology funding comes from fundraising. For the FIRST time, I am asking each and every family to donate what they can so we can tell the world that each family and staff member contributed to 21st century technology at Independence. I want us to REJOICE in that accomplishment! Last month, we announced a campaign to provide enhanced classroom technology for students and teachers including: a smart board in every classroom in-classroom laptops for all grade 5-8 students increased classroom access to educational software and web-based programs additional access to printers and other hardware including headphones with microphones Our goal is 100% ICS family and staff participation. If we reach 100% giving by June 1, we will hold a whole school DEAR (Drop Everything And Rejoice) Day. In addition, as each classroom achieves 100% participation, we will celebrate this accomplishment with the students' choice of a pizza, ice cream, or fruit party/festival. Stay tuned for more information about this exciting project! This campaign is a challenge to ALL ICS families and the ICS staff: Please invest in your children's education so that they receive the 21st Century access to technology which will prepare them for high school, college, and beyond. Please pledge now to support this important initiative. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I want to support Independence Charter School's Technology Campaign!

Kindergarten Happy New Year 2011! First grade is well rested and started this year with a sprint! It has been exciting re- turning to school and catching up with all our friends. This month, we will be learning about fractions and their characteristics. We are also looking forward to begin our country studies, Japan and France. In Language Arts, we will fo- cus on becoming better readers and writers. Don't forget to look in your child's folder every night for homework, news, and updates! Grade 1 Happy New Year to all!! All classrooms are involved in a special environmental project in school and we'll be decorating our entryways will "jungle themed" displays. We are also revisiting ICS Guidelines and practicing following third grade rules. In Social Studies we will begin our country studies on India, so feel free to ask your child about this. In Math, we are excited to begin double-digit addition soon as well as continue our review of Geometry. In Language Arts we continue to perform as strong readers and writers. All second grade classes have 8th grader big buddies that come every other week and read with us. It is a great way to meet our upperclassmen and continue to become a big ICS family. All of the students look forward to this time. Teacher Karen's class continues to write letters to their pen pals in India and Maestra Andrea's class is looking forward to more li- brary trips. We are all looking forward to our trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art next month. Have a fantastic January! Grade 2 Third Grade has so much going on in this new year! We are very excited for our upcoming January 14th trip to the Arden Theater to see "The Borrowers" and a February trip to the Franklin Institute. In social studies, we have culminated our Pennsylvania study and are busy delving into our country study of Russia. Our exploration of Russia is guided by three overarching questions: How does where I live affect how I live? How can we make a positive difference for ourselves and others? How do geography, resources and culture af- fect how we live and what we value? In reading, we continue to practice new skills through read alouds, shared reading, guided reading, and independent reading. Since the first day of school our third graders have been asking about multiplication and we are all excited to finally start our multiplication math unit! And finally, big thank you to all the third grade families and friends who joined us for our annual 3rd Grade Potluck! The food was deli- cious and the company was wonderful. Gracias!

Spanish language arts students are right in the middle of their first book club books. They are also perfect- ing the present tense. In English Language Arts, the sixth graders are beginning Literature Circles using a non-fiction text, Ice Story, which is about the explorer Ernest Shackleton. We are also beginning a unit on persuasive writing, and to continue to work on point of view, summarization and citing evidence from the text to back up our written responses to literature. In Social Studies, the sixth graders are deep into the study of Ancient Egypt. Like most of us, they're fascinated by mum- mies, pharaohs, and the mysteries of the pyramids. Grade 6 7th and 8th graders, don't forget that "National History Day" night is Thursday, January 20 from 5-7pm! We can't wait to see you and your families there. Grades 7-8 The ICS Link Page 5 A Message From Maestra Ronith The first part of the year, our ICS musicians were very busy learning about sound properties and their Spanish names. They identified those characteristics and applied them in new sounds. After that, we started our second unit, called: Ritmo (Rhythm). In this unit, they have learned how to differentiate PULSO (BEAT), ACENTO (STRONG BEAT) and RITMO (RHYTHM). The musicians are also sight-reading musical notes, using percussion instru- ments and, some of them, recorders. If you think of it, you can ask the Kinder- garteners about REDONDA, BLANCA Y NEGRA (whole, half and quarter note), the first graders about REDONDA, BLANCA, NEGRA Y CORCHEA (whole, half, quarter and eight notes) and the second graders about REDONDA, BLANCA, CORCHEA Y SEMICORCHEA (whole, half, quarter, eight and sixteenth notes). Third, fourth and fifth graders are being challenged with the concept of COMPAS (MEASURE). Finally, all the musicians have been singing songs related to our country (making connections with the Social Studies Unit they were studying in their classes) and also some songs in Spanish. Maestra Ronith Epelbon Hochman K-5 Music Teacher Parents and guardians: Remember to support your children's musical skills by asking them to perform for you at home what they have learned at school. It will give them an opportunity to show off his or her talent, and is also going to put a big smile in your face and your heart. La primera parte del año, nuestros músicos de ICS estuvieron muy ocupados aprendiendo acer- ca de las propiedades de sonido y sus nombres en español. Ellos identificaron esas característi- cas y las aplicaron a sonidos nuevos. Luego de eso, empezamos la unidad llamada RITMO. En esta unidad los alumnos aprendieron a diferenciar PULSO, ACENTO y RITMO. Los músicos de ICS están también leyendo música en pequeñas partituras y tocando instru- mentos de percusión (algunos de ellos también están tocando las flautas). Si quieren pueden preguntarle a los alumnos de Kindergarten acerca de la REDONDA, la BLANCA y la NEGRA; a los de Primer grado acerca de la REDONDA, la BLANCA, la NE- GRA y la CORCHEA; a los de Segundo grado acerca de la REDONDA, la BLANCA , la NEGRA, la CORCHEA y la SEMICORCHEA. Los alumnos de Tercero, Cuarto y Quinto gra- do están siendo desafiados con el concepto de Compás Simple. Finalmente, me olvidé de mencionar que todos los músicos de ICS han estado cantando can- ciones relacionadas con USA (haciendo conexiones con la Unidad de Estudios Sociales que estuvieron estudiando en sus clases) y también canciones en español. Maestra Ronith Epelbon Hochman Profesora de Música Padres y tutores: recuerden apoyar las habilidades musicales de su niño/a pidiéndole que le muestre en la casa lo que aprendió en la escuela. Esto le dará a su niño/a la oportunidad de demostrar su talento, y le pondrá a usted una cálida sonrisa en su cara y en su corazón.

It will include updates and corrections to the staff directory to reflect staff changes that have happened since September. It will also include a new section that carefully outlines our visitor procedures, which have been clarified in keeping with our responsibility to ensure student safety. A summary of the procedures is included below: ICS Visitor Procedures All visitors to the school must sign in at the front office and wear a "Visitor" or "Volunteer" badge at all times. Depending on the reason for your visit, you will be given one of three tags: ♦ A general Visitor tag – This indicates that you are in the building for a scheduled appointment. You will be escorted to/from the office by an ICS staff member or by a pair of students from the classroom you are visiting. ♦ A specifically labeled Visitor tag – This indicates that you are in the building to take care of routine business. For instance, if you are a parent who has come to check the Lost and Found, your tag will say, Visitor: Lost and Found. ♦ A Volunteer tag – This indicates that you are in the building to do volunteer work. Your volunteer tag will specify the work you are doing. For instance, if you are distributing pretzels, your tag will say, Volunteer: Pretzels. It is important that you always wear the correct label so that ICS staff know who you are and can easily see that you have permission to be where you are. Otherwise, all staff members are required to politely ask you to return to your scheduled location or to the front office to obtain the appropriate badge.

A blog about teaching and learning in a maths classroom.
Sunday, 05 May 2013 | 0 Comments
'Tis the season to be programming.
Teachers in NSW are currently programming for the New NSW K–10 syllabuses for the Australian curriculum in Mathematics. (Of course, teachers in other states have already implemented the Australian Curriculum) As all these teachers are programming and collecting resources, I've updated MathsLinks and MathsFaculty with the outcomes from this new syllabus.
You can now browse MathsLinks by the New NSW Syllabus for the A.C..
I hope as you find a resource for the new syllabus that you can submit the link on MathsLinks and reference it with the new outcomes.
If you create a new resource, MathsFaculty would be a great place to share it, again uploaded resources can be linked to the new outcomes.
For those outside of NSW, you can also browse by Australian Curriculum outcomes.
And, if a link on MathsLinks is not correctly categorised please help align this link – see the screenshot.

It is good to have traditions at this time of year. It is good to have the traditions from our childhood continue to be something special for our children. But, it is good to start new traditions too.
I have been making cards to give to family and friends with supplies from craft shops. I think they are really cute and have given me and my children time to do something round the kitchen table together with the time to chat and anticipate the season. This is something I hope to be able to do again in future years.

Saudi Arabia's Almarai Co, the Gulf's biggest dairy firm by market value, plans to start a roadshow this week to issue a riyal denominated sukuk, or Islamic bond, the firm said in a bourse statement on Saturday.
February 19, 2012 10:17 by Reuters
"Subject to market conditions, Almarai will hold several meetings this week with interested investors," the firm said in the statement.
Almarai has mandated HSBC to act as arranger, the statement added.

Latest Commercial spaceflight Stories
In the 1989 film classic, Field of Dreams, Ray Kinsella is told, "If you build it, they will come." The developers of Spaceport America have been depending on that idea. So far, it isn't working out.
Many businesses and companies have some sort of reward program for frequenting customers. Virgin Airlines is running a clever little contest rewarding the traveler who racks up enough miles on Virgin flights during the next 12 months a free trip to outer space.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk says he hopes to be able to put man on Mars within the next 12 to 15 years and that one day SpaceX could make it possible for people to thrive and establish businesses there.
Three commercial aerospace development firms have been awarded a share of more than $1 billion in NASA grants as part of a program to complete a new spacecraft to transport American astronauts to the International Space Station.

The Radio Burp from Dark Matter's Lunch?
Dark matter, neutron stars, black holes, and an extremely exotic explanation for Fast Radio Bursts.
Dark matter, neutron stars, black holes, and an extremely exotic explanation for Fast Radio Bursts.
Supermassive black holes (SMBH) likely exist at the center of every massive galaxy in our universe. How these million to billion solar mass beasts form is not well understood. The authors in today's astrobite examine the possibility of the direct collapse of massive gas clouds to form SMBH seeds in a computer simulation of a galaxy merger.
Mergers make bulges in galaxies and black holes generally live in bulges, so mergers must grow black holes – simple. That was until we found bulgeless galaxies containing growing black holes…
Every galaxy is thought to contain a black hole at the centre – but why are some active and some not? What process has 'switched-on' these active galaxies? Theorists suggest that major galaxy mergers could play a part for the highly luminous active galaxies but we're currently lacking conclusive observational evidence to support this theory.
Short gamma-ray bursts, extremely energetic explosions in the Universe, might be caused by the merger of two compact objects. In the two papers we discuss today, the authors test this scenario by looking for light emitted still a few days after the explosion.
Do all tidal disruption events produce jets? This paper tests the hypothesis that they do!

Official MLS game balls from 1996-2015 [PHOTOS]
Click this link to access the gallery of MLS game balls from 1996-2015 – http://imgur.com/a/1tUBQ
Heading into the 2015 season (their 20th campaign), Major League Soccer made two significant changes to their brand: first, they overhauled the MLS logo from the usual ball and boot square logo to a fresh minimalistic crest logo (which had mixed reviews). Secondly, the American soccer league updated the official game ball.
The new soccer ball has been an annual change for MLS since 2010, when they introduced the polarizing Adidas Jabulani game ball. The widely scrutinized Jabulani ball was launched ahead of the 2010 World…

Mobile World Congress 2015, or Why Your Smartphone Is Crap
March 02, 2015
Don't you just love big industry events like Mobile World Congress? I mean, you've had whole weeks to enjoy the new phone you got last quarter, and now you'll hear about a bunch of incredibly wonderful stuff that will make that new phone look like your grandmother's favorite car -- you know, the one she fell in love with in the 1960s. Unfortunately, I'm not going to make things better.
Gadget Ogling: Scooting Around, Scratching Wood, Knocking on Doors
February 28, 2015
Even for someone endlessly in awe of our ability to traverse continents in just a few hours, traveling is increasingly a chore. Anything I can add to trips to make them even a touch more enjoyable is nothing to sniff at. A suitcase with a built-in, motorized scooter may be just what I need to freshen up journeys. Warning: It's carry-on size, but it's far beyond typical carry-on luggage weight.
The Apple Watch Mystery Won't Be Solved March 9
February 27, 2015
The fog shrouding the Apple Watch won't be lifted on March 9. Apple's invite to its media event displays the tease "Spring Forward," which likely refers to the shift in daylight savings time -- and time itself. Sure, we'll learn more about the Apple Watch's functionality, but the mystery is whether most of us new buyers suddenly will turn into watch wearers for longer than a few months.
How Apple Will Sell a Watch That No One Really Needs
February 24, 2015
There has been a lot of discussion lately of where and how Apple will sell the Apple Watch -- through high-end luxury department stores in Paris, for example, or through special new displays inside of Apple Stores, guided into existence by fashion genius Angela Ahrendts. Finding new ways to present the watch is important, but how will Apple actually trigger a buy decision?
The Apple/Tesla Dream Team
February 23, 2015
We've seen a lot of speculation this week on the Apple car -- everything from Apple building its own car from scratch to its buying or merging with Tesla. Like many, I think the best path would be an Apple/Tesla combination, but since I doubt Tim would want to work for Musk or Musk for Tim, the only real option would be an office of the CEO for both firms.
Gadget Ogling: Jewelry Gets Inky, Toys Get Brilliant, Remotes Get Beautiful
February 21, 2015
L!ber8's Tago Arc is aimed at the fashion conscious or those who like to use their jewelry to tell the world a little more about themselves. It has an e-ink screen, which is controlled using an NFC-enabled smartphone -- sorry, iPhone owners -- to let wearers switch up the design on the fly. Ordinary users can purchase a variety of looks, while budding Stella McCartneys can create their own.
Changing Sales Behaviors Through Creative Compensation
February 20, 2015
The idea of using incentives to drive business behaviors is not a new one. It happens in all areas of business, but it's most obvious in sales, where compensation is tied to performance. This is the most basic type of incentive, and it's used to get people who sell for a living to sell. However, other incentives can drive behaviors more complex than simply selling.
The Rhyme and Reason of Sales and Marketing Tech Adoption
February 18, 2015
For all the breakthroughs in technology and process, and for the vast amounts of money invested in making sales and marketing more productive and better aligned, we still face a staggering adoption problem. Sales and marketing pros answered a lot of questions in a recent survey. One of them was this simple query: How much of your sales team has adopted and regularly uses your current solution?
Is Paltrow More Qualified Than Mayer to Run Yahoo?
February 16, 2015
While working on a piece about bad decisions recently, I revisited Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision not to hire Academy Award winner and successful lifestyle author and blogger Gwyneth Paltrow for a lifestyle editing position...because she didn't have a college degree. Let's explore the idea of Paltrow running Yahoo -- and we'll also take a look at my product of the week: an amazing new curved phone from LG.
Why RadioShack Fell Flat
February 11, 2015
For years, RadioShack had been the "go to" place for hobbyists, as well as the store where one could find everything from speaker cables to electrical adapters, gizmos to gadgets. It appealed as much to people who wanted to build a computer as use one. In the 1990s it moved away from this market, leaving those hobbyists behind. Looking back, this can be seen as the beginning of its end.
In Search of the Perfect Windows 10 Hardware
February 09, 2015
I'm well into the user testing of the next generation of Microsoft's operating system and things are really looking up. Windows 10 is becoming a blend of the many things we liked about Windows 7, and the things that most folks don't know about that are great about Windows 8. Windows 10 should be like a breath of fresh air for those truly annoyed with Windows 8.
Docker-Rocket Conflict is a Good Sign
February 04, 2015
2014 saw the rise of Docker, and ended with appropriately inflated hype and hysteria around a related container technology: Rocket. Immediately, discussions of uncertainty and doubt, and the familiar fear of forking unfolded. Was it only a matter of time before some developers or organizations splintered off from the Docker community with their own container technology?
Think Different: Apple's 10 Biggest, Riskiest Bets
February 03, 2015
Even the most vociferous Apple haters can surely admit that Apple -- judged upon the evidence of its record-breaking quarterly profit of $18 billion, the most of any public held company ever -- is not only firing on all cylinders but also creating products that consumers around the world are willing to pay a premium for. The sheer scope of Apple's success is mind-boggling.
What If There Were a Hospital for Sick Companies?
February 02, 2015
People get sick, and back in the Middle Ages they would use leeches and razors to bleed them until they got better. The practice didn't work that well -- yet if we look at what we do to sick divisions and companies, it is effectively the same thing. We cut investments, freeze salaries, make layoffs, and shave marketing expenses and then seem fascinated when the firms don't recover.
Gadget Ogling: A Touchless Thermometer, Flashing Audio, and a Mesmerizing Mattress Cover
January 31, 2015
JoyWing's Wishbone is a fancier thermometer than what you or I will have seen on any trip to the doctor. It's a smartphone attachment that gives temperature readouts within a couple of seconds without even having to touch the person or material it's examining, thanks to an infrared sensor. It's inexpensive, at $26-35 for those pledging to the crowdfunding drive.
Customer Science
January 28, 2015
Part of my new year routine has been ordering new business cards. In this electronic age, they are the only things I actually print, and I'm a writer! In a few weeks I'll publish a book, Solve for the Customer, in paperback, and the two are related. I made a discovery while writing the book that fundamentally changes what I do for a living and the title I use, hence my need to reprint.
Microsoft's Windows Reboot Could Be Legendary
January 26, 2015
I was one of the launch analysts for Windows 95, and the launch of that product is widely held -- including by Bill Gates -- as the company's pinnacle. No launch before or since ever came close to that launch, and I remain amazed that no one, including Apple or Microsoft, has ever really attempted to duplicate that effort. Windows 10 has the potential to be even greater than Windows 95.
Could Microsoft's Foggy Windows 10 Plan Be Any Smarter?
January 22, 2015
The most important and daring move that Microsoft made Wednesday is far and away making the upgrade to Windows 10 free. Seems dirt-simple and intuitive on the surface, but it represents a startling and abrupt shift in both how users will relate to Microsoft and how Microsoft innovates with Windows going forward. I'm an unabashed Apple fan -- but I can appreciate a smart move when I see one.
Time to Drill Deeper
January 21, 2015
This is not an article about fracking -- drilling for gas and oil in shale. This is about "drilling down" into big data. We've been using the term for a long time and it provides a useful metaphor for data analysis. However, we've conditioned ourselves to think of drilling down only to a superficial degree, and that needs a rethink. When data wasn't big, we were only able to scratch the surface.
The Top 20 CRM Blogs of 2014, Part 2
January 20, 2015
The second half of the Top 20 Bloggers list is the half that holds the most surprises and fresh faces. This year, it also has the most variety -- from non-English speakers to blogs targeted at small businesses -- as well as plenty of marketing-oriented content. There also are some re-entries to the list who have rediscovered their blogs and come roaring back.
From the Blogosphere With Love: A FOSSy Farewell
January 20, 2015
The past week has afforded plenty of fodder for conversation here in the Linux blogosphere: the MintBox Mini; the Steam for Linux file-deletion bug; and the latest in the Systemd saga, for example. However, this week seems like a good time to revisit some classic gems from days gone by -- particularly the sweet spot that can be found at the intersection of Linux and Love.
Apple Stylus Rumor: Taking Care of Business?
January 20, 2015
Apple will introduce a stylus to accompany its expected new, larger iPad, an analyst with a good scorecard in predicting Apple products wrote in a research note on Sunday. Speculation about a 12.9-inch iPad Pro to be launched this year has been grist for the rumor mill for months, but the prediction of an Apple stylus is a new development. The stylus would be sold separately.
What If IBM's Rommetty and Apple's Cook Were to Swing for the Fences?
January 19, 2015
I was at IBM's z13 mainframe launch last week, and it brought back a lot of memories, because I was at IBM when the era of the mainframe collapsed. I also happened to be covering Apple when the era of the Mac collapsed, following the launch of Windows 95, and I have watched both companies recover -- largely by rediscovering what made them great in the first place.
Gadget Ogling: A New Galaxy, Awesome Audio, and One Ring That Doesn't Rule
January 17, 2015
Welcome to Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, the column that takes freshly announced gadgets out for a hypothetical test run, rendering judgement long before they hit the shelves. In the offing this week: Samsung's latest mid-range smartphone, a gesture-based ring, shiny headphones and much more. Samsung has another mid-range smartphone in the Galaxy A7.

Mendez Earns GCAA All-Freshman Acclaim
May 30, 2014
Jose Mendez has been named to the Golf Coaches Association of America's All-Freshman Team. He is one of just five freshmen in Division I to make the list.
Mendez was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year and selected to the All-Big Ten First Team after tying for medalist honors at the Big Ten Championships. He was the first freshman Big Ten champion since 2009. Mendez recently received PING All-Region honors after tying for ninth place at the NCAA Raleigh Regional.
In a season that included three individual tournament wins, Mendez held a stroke average of 71.97, which ranks third in program history for a single season. His average during Minnesota's six spring tournaments was 70.74.
"This is a well-deserved honor for his outstanding freshman year that included three victories," head coach John Carlson said. "The first-team selections are all a very deserving group. Jose has a bright future ahead of him as a Gopher."
