Counselors to America's Small Business
SBA Webinar on Safe Food Production
Young Americans today are armed with creativity, passion and a desire to change the world. As a result, it's no wonder they are one of the fastest growing groups becoming entrepreneurs.
Despite their drive and enthusiasm, many of these young business men and women fall victim to high rates of business failures due to their lack of experience and an attitude of indestructible naivety. Young entrepreneurs inherently face a double whammy of their age coupled with a lack of business experience.

One of the most common business structures used to start a business is the sole proprietorship. But sole proprietorships/Doing Business As (DBAs) aren't popular because they're essential or even helpful—it's because they're simple to form. There's no formal action required to start a sole proprietorship, and many people own them without even knowing it. For example, if you were to start building and selling rowboats out of your garage, you would be a sole proprietor. There is legally no distinction between the business and you, the owner. Sole proprietorships are formed automatically—all you need to do to form one is sell something. In many cities, states, and counties, you can register a Sole Proprietorship business name (aka: a DBA) for as little as $5. But with a sole proprietorship/DBA, you reap all the profits and you carry the weight of all your debts, losses, and liabilities.

After you've filed formation documents to create your business (i.e. Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization) and have gotten your paperwork back from the state, you're ready to open your doors, right? Now what?
There are a few more requirements you should consider before you are fully ready to operate:
There are a handful of states which require initial reports and tax forms to be filed, as opposed to waiting to file an annual report. These states and their requirements are as follows—

In this rich and engrossing account, John and Abigail Adams come to life against the backdrop of the Republic's tenuous early years. Drawing on over 1,200 letters exchanged between the couple, Ellis tells a story both personal and panoramic. We learn about the many years Abigail and John spent apart as John's political career sent him first to Philadelphia, then to Paris and Amsterdam; their relationship with their children; and Abigail's role as John's closest and most valued advisor. Exquisitely researched and beautifully written, First Family is both a revealing portrait of a marriage and a unique study of America's early years.
Joseph J. Ellis won the Pulitzer Prize for Founding Brothers. His portrait of Thomas Jefferson, American Sphinx, won the National Book Award. He is the Ford Foundation Professor of History at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife and their youngest son.

just bought Costco Kirkland 6 qt oval dutch oven
I bought a Le Creuset a few years ago - wanted oval but got round because they didn't have oval in the discontinued deep blue color I wanted. Well, I was passing through Costco last weekend and saw the big, beautiful deep red one and couldn't resist for $49.99. So far the only difference I can see is that it is not dishwasher safe. It worked well the first time around and cleaned up easily. I wasn't really planning to get an oval one figuring I'd never splurge for another Le Creuset but I think it will be nice to have.
Well, if it is any constellation....I've been doing alot of research on cast-iron cookware for the past few weeks. It started because of taking free cooking classes at Williams-Sonoma locally!
I tend to rely on research, than personal experience. I did pickup 2 cuisinart pieces at TJMaxx for $60 & $80. 5qt
and 8-qt oval. Found a great deal on Rachel Ray C/I 3.5 and 6.0 oval both for $68. Rachel Ray is made by Staub. I dislike China because of poor quality control, but a good company will tightly oversee qc in the states. Consumer Report rated Emerilware All-Clad very high and that is made in Japan. The money u save vs. STAUB or LC can extend your kitchen and buy if warranties don't cover they normally do.
I am not one to buy just for a name or personality, I wish I had the means to buy LC -- it just isn't logical.

So I made this beer last night . Sort of a blackened voodoo clone but with some belgian abbey ale yeast . ( Wyeast , another problem ) . Any way after I added in the Wyeast crap that obviously was no good I was getting ready to clean out my mash tun and I drained off about a quart of wort . Well I decided to add it in my primary . So I pulled out the air lock and poured it in . Woops ! forgot to boil it first .
So now only do I not have fermentation because I use Wycrap yeast I also have warm aerated wort with unboiled wort in it . This may be okay if I had good fast fermentation from some good dry yeast but since it will be 3 more days before I can get yeast ???
Should I Hari Kari now to save my family from disgrace or just drown myself in a bucket of expensive infection ?
It is going to go sour for sure
If you are going to repitch anyway why don't you just give it a quick 15 minute boil (sooner the better)
YUP, having a vigorous boil is paramount to having a good batch of beer
its not 1000 percent certain, but id bet on that beer going real bad real fast
Newb here, it might be OK... 155 for 60 minutes might be enough to have pasteurized the wort. Leave a while, see what happens. I think the ship has sailed on getting your intended beer... But on getting something you still have a shot I think. I don't think infection is a given yet.
You could also boil it now.
Beer, beer everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
I thought about reboiling just for a minute or two as any longer I think would take away the late hop additions aromas making the 15 and 5 minute more like 30 minutes . How ever maybe the 155 degree mash did kill off anything in the grains. Although actually I am not sure what would be in the grains after they had been roasted . Wouldn't the roasting process kill off any germs ?
If I did not use that Wyeast ( that will never happen again ) the alcohol would take care of any problem I would think . But so far no action from the yeast .
one more problem maybe . What about the air in the bucket . Will this not start growing nasties if I have to let this 72 degree wort sit around not fermenting for 4 more days till I can get some yeast ?
tried to buy some from a brew pub but they would not give it up.
Maybe I could just toss in some bread yeast and let it go to making alcohol . wonder if that would still make a good beer.
well I did it . I have just made the worlds best ale version of a blackened voodoo clone with extra customizing . . . . Hey it mine I will call it what ever I want to call it .
I just went ahead and did all them people out there a favor that keep posting questions about " can I use bread yeast to make a beer " . I shall give a review after the required time and I suspect it going to be just fine .
a boiled wort will be devoid of bugs. no worries. if you can make a decent brew from duck POND water, a bit of unfermented time won't be a problem. it'll add character.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?
You won't reboil for fear of spoiling the effects of the late hop additions but take a chance on bread yeast?

cider press
Could someone at this most favorite site help me identify this piece? I'm pretty sure it's a press (or possibly a torture device...not really :))
The small pieces at the end of the threaded rods can be removed, I haven't measured it but it's about 3' long.
Hi Linda,
I thought about that too but the size and shape of the wood that could fit between the uprights would be pretty limited. Maybe it could be hold pressure on a dresser drawer as the glue/dado joints dried.
I'm betting somebody knows.... :-)
Size and shape doesn't look right....would have to be a very thick book and a large folio to make sense of the size.
What's the distance between the bottom of the threaded rods and the base of the thing? In other words what size thing would it press?
Linda C
What I suspect this is a home made press designed for a specific job. Look it over carefully. Do you find a manufacturer's mark or stamp anywhere? If there is no mark, this lends weight to a non-mass-produced item.
We can only guess what it intent was because the pressure plates are missing. It could have been something as simple as a device to hold the corks in jugs of fermenting liquids.
If the device is very clean and shows no sign of smudges from adhesives, then it probably was not used as fixture for gluing. With proper attachements, it could have been used as a crude press.
A great many "Older" devices of this sort are hand made....weather intended to press a book during binding or flower specimens between absorbent paper or fruit for cider or wine....the question is what did the maker intend for it..
Perhaps the person who made it had a hobby of making small boxes and used it as a glue clamp? or to clamp veneer to the pieces to make the boxes?
Looks like a great end table/conversation piece, just add glass.
I like that, Froufrou. With different sized glass globes under the presses!
I believe I will use it as a conversation piece. The guy I bought it from didn't know what it was either :-). There is no residue of any kind. I thought I might be able to determine its age by the size of the wood but haven't had any success.
Maybe one of these days someone will see it and say "Where on earth did you get that _____? My granddaddy had one just like it!"
Or, maybe not.
Now...I'm trying to picture the different size glass globes you're talking about. Like fishnet floats?
A refugee here form the days when we made coffee or end tables out of all sorts of stuff....that's why I still have a farrier's bench with magazines on it!!
I remember the lobster pot, all sorts of cool boxes, like fruit crates and even an old Ammo box...still have an old soda syphon box! And there were the days of old interesting suit cases...and my coffee table is a cut down dining table.
I would pile books under the screw things...old interesting looking books. If you can find a law library that is cleaning house and has some old leather bound volums they are tossing...that would be great.
Linda C
Yeah fishing floats! Or dolls (creepy). Painted ostrich eggs? Books would be nice, but I like the idea of something that very definitely should not be pressed appearing to be pressed. Then of course some neighbor kid would stick a hand in and tighten it...
It's really kind of elegant in a functional sort of way. Maybe throw it on the woodworking forum and see if anyone there has a clue? (Not sure that's an active forum.)
It looks like a perfect piece of equipment for bending wood. When you want to bend wood to certain shapes and make a lot of identical pieces, you make a pair of forms with the curvature cut out of them with a gap between for the workpiece itself; The forms are called "cauls". It looks to me like it's the perfect shape and size to hold a set of cauls for making a lot of curved chair back rails. You need tremendous clamping force to get the cauls to meet when bending, and those screw clamps would be ideal. The frame is also made very heavy to stand up to the tons of force being applied. Anyway, that's one woodworker's opinion/guess.
I used something similar years ago to use just as Casey described. Slightly different construction details but the same idea.
I'd steam the pieces in a steam box, then set them between pairs of cauls and stack insert them in a similar press. The one I used had five rods instead of three.
Depending on the set, I'd bend 2, 4, or 6 pieces at a time.

Britain destroyed records of colonial crimes
Thousands of documents detailing some of the most shameful acts and crimes committed during the final years of the British empire were systematically destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of post-independence governments, an official review has concluded.
Those papers that survived the purge were flown discreetly to Britain where they were hidden for 50 years in a secret Foreign Office archive, beyond the reach of historians and members of the public, and in breach of legal obligations for them to be transferred into the public domain.
The archive came to light last year when a group of Kenyans detained and allegedly tortured during the Mau Mau rebellion won the right to sue the British government. The Foreign Office promised to release the 8,800 files from 37 former colonies held at the highly-secure government communications centre at Hanslope Park in Buckinghamshire.
The historian appointed to oversee the review and transfer, Tony Badger, master of Clare College, Cambridge, says the discovery of the archive put the Foreign Office in an "embarrassing, scandalous" position. "These documents should have been in the public archives in the 1980s," he said. "It's long overdue." The first of them are made available to the public on Wednesday at the National Archive at Kew, Surrey....

Ogden shootout possibly gang related, police say
OGDEN — A shootout in an Ogden neighborhood that damaged houses and cars Friday is possibly gang related, police said.
Ogden police received a call around 4:10 p.m. reporting shots fired on 29th and Jefferson Ave.
"Officers got over there. They found out that there were mulitiple shell casings lying around from multiple weapons," said Ogden police Lt. Tony Fox.
Witnesses told police that two men on foot were shooting at someone in a green car.
The men shooting at the car were both described as Hispanic with red bandanas over their faces, thin builds, between 5-feet-7-inches and 5-feet-8-inches weighing 180 pounds.
"At first glance it appears that it could be gang related because of the bandanas they were wearing," Fox said.
Ogden gang detectives are investigating the shootout.
No injuries were reported in the shooting and no suspects were in custody Friday night.
Brandon Ball, whose house and car were damaged in the shootout, said his kids were in the living room at the time. His neighbor told the kids to get down as the gunmen ran past the window. The men ran down an alley next to the house that residents have been trying to shut down.
"I'm excited to be able to use this as pressure because we have to get 10 homeowners to sign a form to get this alley closed," Ball said.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call 801-629-8551.

alot of people in the know realized that tito was a powerful slugger with limited skills, he would logically be less effective against a bigger fighter. i picked hopkins to win that fight and he did.
with floyd though I was genuinely unsure. i thought corrales height and reach may cause problems but floys was simply masterful that night.

As good as the Corrales performance was, I also have to go with Tito/Hop. It might be hard to remember for a lot here, being over an entire decade ago, but Tito was considered a beast. Rightly so too, as he had just come off two destruction of prime, all but undefeated world champions. The only loss between Vargas and Joppy was one loss to champ Julio Cesar Green, which he avenged twice.
These were top guys, and Joppy especially got destroyed so badly it was incredible. Anyone saying that Tito was too small and just a welterweight needs to go back and remember his career. Small welterweights that don't belong at 160 don't lay waste to Vargas and the middleweight champ without much trouble. If he didn't belong at 160 and was too small, he would have lost to Joppy. Instead he just about killed him and no one else has been able to get close to doing that. It was a great win.

After seeing an even older Marquez just arguably beat Pacquiao, the supposed #1 WW at the same weight, Floyd does deserve some credit for that win. Marquez proved he could fight well at the weight against the #1 fighter at that weight, supposedly.
So yes, one must give Floyd a little credit for that, but it's by no means his best win. It's a very solid win though now.

He graciously, and with great wit and charm delivered his final telecast
in early October. Andy Rooney has now left the earthly realm of the
living. The 92-year-old "60 Minutes" columnist passed away last week
following complications from minor surgery.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in TV
Keywords: Andy Rooney, '60 Minutes, ' death, TV columnist
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - While a distinguished combat journalist during World War II, Rooney was best known for his hilarious essays on mundane topics.
"It's a sad day at '60 Minutes' and for everybody here at CBS News," Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and the executive producer of "60 Minutes" says. "It's hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much."
Rooney made his final weekly appearance on "60 Minutes" on October 2. Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Morley Safer told CNN that Rooney worked to the very end and that he would not have had it any other way.
"That's the way to go," Safer said. "The only thing better than three weeks would have been three minutes."
Rooney colleague Lesley Stahl called him "our poet laureate.
"He was the Oracle of West 57th Street, an everyman if everyman wrote like a dream," she said. "He was the most popular member of our team, loved by the audience, and far more loved by all of us than he knew."
Rooney began his journalism career in the Army and went on to spend nearly six decades at CBS, half behind the camera as a writer and producer and then as an on-air commentator in 1978 when he joined "60 Minutes."
Some classic witticisms offer by Rooney --On looking for work, he said: "We need people who can actually do things. We have too many bosses and too few workers. More college graduates ought to become plumbers or electricians, then go home at night and read Shakespeare."
On his trademarked bushy eyebrows: "I try to look nice. I comb my hair, I tie my tie, I put on a jacket, but I draw the line when it comes to trimming my eyebrows. You work with what you got."
However -- Rooney could be deeply critical on the subjects that mattered. On the "shock and awe" campaign that started the Iraq war in 2003: The phrase "makes us look like foolish braggarts."
Rooney's wife of 62 years, Marguerite, died in 2004. He is survived by his four children, as well as five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be private and a memorial service will be announced at a future date.
It's not uncommon for a beloved media figure to exit the world stage with the cessation of their work being brought before the public. Rooney's sudden departure calls to mind the demise of "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, who announced his retirement from the strip due to Parkinson's disease. Schulz passed away in his sleep, the very day his farewell comic strip was published in February of 2000.

'Star Wars' Spinoff to Be Filmed in U.K.
During a set visit to J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII at London's Pinewood Studios, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, revealed that the recently announced Star Wars spinoff will also be shot in the U.K.
The government minister tweeted: "On set of Episode VII tonight, can announce another #StarWars film will be made in UK. A #LongTermEconomicPlan in a galaxy far far away."
PHOTOS: Meet the 'Star Wars: Episode VII' Cast
The new film will begin shooting in 2015, also at Pinewood, he later clarified to the British press.
"Lucasfilm and Disney's decision to shoot the Star Wars stand-alone movie in the U.K. is testament to the incredible talent in Britain," he added.
In recent years, the U.K. has introduced an aggressive set of tax incentives to lure top Hollywood projects. The Star Wars films are projected to be a major boon to the local economy and film sector.
"The further changes the government made to the film tax relief at Budget 2014 will support our highly skilled, innovative creative sectors so that they continue to thrive and encourage more films to be made in the U.K.," Osborne said.
U.K. Culture Secretary Sajid Javid later added: "Given Lucasfilm's decision to film another Star Wars movie in the U.K., it is clear that the Force is strong here."
CARTOON: 'Star Wars: Episode VII' as Envisioned By Four Top Directors
Gary Whitta (Book of Eli) is writing the script for the Star Wars spinoff, which has a release date of Dec. 16, 2016. Fresh off the success of Godzilla, Gareth Edwards is directing. Following the announcement of the new film last week, Edwards told THR: "Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life -- join the Rebel Alliance!"
The story line of the spinoff has been a matter of fervent speculation, with the top-going theories suggesting characters such as bounty hunter Boba Fett and Jedi master Yoda as those who might be getting their own movies. There are also rumors of a potential Han Solo origin story, or at least something on the Solo clan, or the untold adventures of Luke Skywalker.
Never miss a story. Stay up-to-date with THR's Daily Headlines.

The activities are divided into primary and intermediate grade levels, each with appropriate developmental strategies. The purpose of each activity is to address the holistic approach to character educational instruction. The focus concentrates on blending the social and cognitive domains in an integrative and cohesive manner. Feelings My Name Is Me! Do You Mean? Take A Second Look! What Size Is It? Read It, Write It, Count It! Picture Stories What Should I Purchase? You Tell Me! If I Had the Power There Are Two Sides to Every Story I Am Me and Nobody Else! Black and White = Polka Dots Is It What I Think or What I Know? (Fact and Opinion) Decisions, Decisions! If I Could Be an Inventor, I Would Invent . . . What and Why (Cause and Effect) Old Wisdom: New Learnings Take a Look in the Mirror: What Do You See? To help students with self-discovery To promote students' appreciation of their individuality To help students understand their feelings To help students make inferences Promotion of language and thought development Introduction and development of vocabulary words Introduction and development of higher-order thinking skills Language Arts Character Building Write the sentences listed below, and any others you wish to include, on individual sentence strips or large cards. Place in a box. Have students form a circle. Select a leader to stand in the middle of the circle. The leader will pull a sentence strip or card, read it aloud, and then point to someone in the circle to react. The student who has been selected must begin his or her reaction by saying, "I feel . . " The student can either answer in words or express feelings with facial expressions or body language. If facial expressions or body language are used, the other students are to try and guess or read these expressions and determine how the student feels. Discussion about why some students feel the way they do about certain things and how to help bad feelings turn into good feelings should follow. To ensure that everyone gets a turn at being a leader and the opportunity to participate in expressing themselves, student leaders should be rotated after two sentences, and selections of students should be done in a clockwise fashion. Sample Sentences How do you feel when you: . . . are praised for something good you did? . . . are not included in a game? . . . get all of your math problems correct? . . . have something taken away from you? . . . share with a friend? . . . win a game? . . . want something that belongs to someone else? . . . are told that you did a very good job? . . . are home alone? . . . are accused of something you did not do? . . . get a hug or a kiss? . . . and your best friend have an argument? . . . are told that you are smart, beautiful, helpful, loving? Example The circle leader pulls the following sentence from the box: "How do you feel when your big brother plays with you?" Selected student: "I feel great, happy, wonderful, etc." (or the student can give a broad, happy smile). Teacher: (If the student gives an oral response, the teacher may ask), "Why do you feel this way?" (If the student smiles, the teacher may ask), "Class, can you tell me how Maria feels by reading her expression?" "Maria, why do you feel happy when your big brother takes time to play with you?" How were students able to demonstrate their ability to express their feelings using oral language? How did students exhibit their understanding of body language or facial expressions? How were students able to demonstrate their ability to use inferences? How did students express empathy for and understanding of others' feelings? To promote the students' awareness and appreciation of who they are To help students reflect on their self-worth To enhance students' self-esteem Enhancement of vocabulary skills Development of thinking skills Development of writing and reading skills Encouragement to use synonyms and homonyms Development of cognitive skills Language Arts Character Building Social Studies Career Education Students will use prior knowledge, cognitive skills, vocabulary knowledge, and creative thinking to complete the following activity. It can be done individually, in pairs, or as cooperative teams. Each student will print his or her name vertically down the left-hand side of a sheet of lined paper, writing each letter separately. The student will try to think of a self- descriptive word or phrase that matches each letter of their name. Students are to write a descriptive paragraph or story about themselves, using the words or phrases they have selected and any others they can think of as they are writing their paragraphs. The students are to share their writing selections with the class. Example My name is Miguel. I am an intelligent young man with a magnificent mind. My friends like me because I am a very unselfish person, who is always willing and eager to help others. I am also an extremely eager and ambitious leader, who can follow as well as lead. I am brave and gutsy. I am not afraid to try new things and go to new and different places. This activity is an excellent homework assignment for involving parents in their children's schoolwork. How did students use their knowledge and cognitive skills? How did students demonstrate pride and self-esteem? Did students exhibit an improvement in writing skills? How? How did this activity help students increase their vocabulary skills? To motivate students to use their higher-order thinking skills To motivate students to read To help students develop an appreciation for their culture as well as those of others Use of knowledge Use of cognitive skills Integration of listening, speaking, writing, thinking, and reading skills Language Arts Social Studies Character Development Students will read and interpret the sayings listed. Students and teachers are encouraged to add to this list. This activity should be done by students working in cooperative teams. This activity encourages students to concentrate on comprehension skills as they attempt to figure out what the sayings really mean. It also is an excellent avenue to address cultural diversity, because many of the sayings or phrases originate from various racial, religious, and cultural groups. This is an effective way to involve parents, grandparents, and other family members. Have students ask their family members to share some of their traditional sayings or proverbs. After students have determined what the sayings mean, have them discuss how they can help them improve their lives, behavior, or how they treat others. Traditional Sayings or Proverbs When it rains, it pours. Two wrongs don't make a right. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Birds of a feather flock together. The early bird gets the worm. Half a loaf is better than none. Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Do not judge a book by its cover. Example Old saying: Little but mighty! Interpretation: Someone may seem to be small in size or position, but that doesn't mean they are not strong or important. Statement: I have to remember that everyone is someone important; and that it doesn't matter how small in size the person may be. Therefore, I must respect people for who they are and not for their color or size or where they work. How did students exhibit their ability to interpret the sayings? How effective were the students in using their knowledge and metacognitive skills? Did students exhibit more of an interest in their culture or others' as a result of this activity? Did students exhibit their use of higher-order thinking skills? How? To enhance students' higher-order thinking skills To promote cooperative learning To help develop students' perspective that beauty and good qualities can be found in things and people To encourage students to use their knowledge and cognitive skills Enhancement of students' awareness of cultural and ethnic differences Promotion of the idea of looking for and finding good qualities in people Integration of thinking and writing skills Language Arts Character Building Social Studies Arrange students in teams of three to five students. Have a pre-selected group of objects or articles that have been placed in a bag or box (a suggested list is provided). A member from each group will, without looking in the bag or box, select one object. The selected object will be examined by each team member; then the team will follow the directions written below, which are to be written on the board: 1. Think of a way in which your object or article is like a person. 2. List two things that make your object or article beautiful. 3. Name three ways your object or article can be useful to you, your friends, or your family. 4. Name four reasons why you love your object or article. 5. Tell three things you can do that would help your object or article feel good about itself. Give the teams enough time to discuss each of the instructions and write their responses. Each team will share their information orally with the class. A reporter from each team will explain what its object was and will then share its attributes. The follow-up discussion should center on how the students were able to think of all the nice and positive things to say about their objects, as though these were real people. The discussion should guide the students to understand how easy it is to find good and useful qualities in everything, especially people, if one takes the time to look. Sample List of Possible Objects or Articles (Teacher and/or students are encouraged to add to this list) pen pencil keys stick crayon stick of gum piece of candy paper napkin roll of tape pine cone leaf rock or pebble small sea shell paper clip How did students use their knowledge? Were students able to demonstrate an understanding of how good qualities can be found in simple, ordinary objects or articles? How? How did students demonstrate their use of higher-order skills? Were team-building skills exhibited? How? To encourage students to use their knowledge and experiences To use mathematical concepts to encourage students to use their higher-order thinking skills To help students develop their concept of size Use of higher-order thinking skills Use of knowledge Use of mathematical skills Integration of Content/Subject Areas Language Arts Social Studies Mathematics Character Building Arrange the students in teams. Write the following words on the board: small large tall smart smaller larger taller smarter smallest largest tallest smartest Discuss the comparative qualities of each with the students. Ask what the difference is between the words in each set. Have them demonstrate their understanding by first creating some type of drawing or picture that depicts the difference in the degree of words. After they have completed their drawings or representations, have them write their descriptions or explanations. Example: long, longer, longest Drawing Descriptions/Explanations Lina has long black hair, but Sue's hair is longer. Jennifer has the longest hair of all the girls in our room. Encourage the students to be as creative as they can as they think of ways to describe the comparisons. Have each team share how they described each set of words. Ask whether they can think of other words to compare.

To encourage students to use their critical thinking skills To help students better understand math concepts To help students see the relationships among reading, writing, and thinking skills Use of cognitive skills Use of critical thinking skills Use of problem solving concepts Language Arts Mathematics Reading Social Studies Science Students will use the process of solving math problems as a foundation for enhancing reading, writing, and thinking skills. The teacher will write sample math problems on the board. Sample problems are provided (teacher and students can also contribute math problems to be solved). Give students the option of working individually, in pairs, or in teams. They will solve a problem, and then write a sentence or word story about the problem they solved. This will be done for each problem. Students will share their math sentences and stories with the class. Example Sentence/Story Tomas and June were walking down the street on their way home from school. As always, they had to pass the neighborhood drugstore. But today there was something different about the windows in the store. They were all decorated with beautiful red and white fancy cards. Tomas looked at June and said, "I did not realize that tomorrow is Valentines Day! I have to buy my mother a card, but I don't have enough money." "How much money do you need?" June asked. "The card I see costs two dollars and twenty-five cents, and I only have one dollar and twenty-five cents. I need another dollar." "I have a dollar I can let you have," June said. "Oh thank you," Tomas said happily. "I will pay you back when I get my allowance next week." So Tomas added June's dollar to his dollar and twenty-five cents. Now he had enough to buy his mother the card for Valentines Day. Sample Problems How did students demonstrate their problem solving abilities? How effective were the students in creating sentences or stories? How did students demonstrate the use of their knowledge or experiences in writing their stories? Did students exhibit good critical thinking skills? How? To encourage students to use their critical thinking skills To enhance students' creative skills To enhance students' comprehension skills Use of higher-order thinking skills Use of knowledge Use of reading skills Language Arts Social Studies Science Students will use their knowledge and experiences to create stories in pictures ("wordless stories"). Give students the option of working individually, in pairs, or in teams. Direct the students to first write a story on any topic they choose. Next, direct them to rewrite their story, using only drawings, pictures, stick figures, and so forth. They may use words such as the, then, next, my, etc. But all nouns, adjectives, and verbs must be represented by pictures. After completing their stories, students are to give them to another student or team, who will attempt to "read" the picture story using the picture clues provided. After students have read the pictures, give them the story in words and ask them to compare their version with the actual story in words. Discuss with the class how it was that some students were able to read or infer what the story was about. Ask them what skills they used in doing so. Example: Story in words The dog chased the cat down the street. The cat ran into a house, but a lady with a broom chased the cat out of her house. Story in pictures How did students use their knowledge or experiences? Did students demonstrate an ability to create stories that had a beginning, middle, and end? How? How did students demonstrate their use of higher-order thinking skills? To enhance students' understanding of the different types of writing To help students enhance their writing skills To encourage students to use their writing skills for different purposes Use of writing, reading, and thinking skills Develop speaking skills Develop interpersonal skills Develop communication skills Language Arts Character Building Social Studies Students will listen to commercials on the radio, watch them on television, and read advertisements in the newspapers, magazines, and "junk mail" received at home. This activity can be done individually, in pairs, or in teams. Have a dialogue about commercials and focus on how and why they are successful in getting people to buy certain products, cars, and foods. How are these commercials able to convince people that they should spend their vacations in a particular country or on a certain island? Ask students why their parents shop at a specific clothing or food store and why they purchase certain brands of blue jeans, shoes, or other items. Have students read advertisements. Have them select key words or distinctive phrases that catch their attention or appeal to them. They are to make a list of these words and phrases and discuss the reasons for their selections. Using these key words and phrases as a guide, the students are to select an existing product or create one and write their own "persuasive TV commercials." Each student or team member will present their commercial orally, using their oratorical skills to convince the class that their particular product should be purchased. How did students exhibit their understanding of persuasive writing? Did students demonstrate an ability to gather information from various sources? How? How did students demonstrate improvements in their writing skills? How did students exhibit improvements in their oral speaking skills? To help students' comprehension skills To encourage students to use higher-order thinking skills To promote students' use of their knowledge and inference skills To help students learn how to construct meaning To help students learn correct grammar usage in the context of writing and reading Use of knowledge and experiences Use of inference skills Enhance comprehension skills Use of correct grammar in writing and speaking Reading Language Arts Social Studies Science Students will read the sample statements provided. Using their knowledge and experiences, they will determine an appropriate word that will complete the sentence in a coherent manner. After they have practiced completing the sample statements, place the students in teams and have each team develop five to ten statements that leave missing words. An "answer key" with the missing words for each will also be developed by the team. Each team will then exchange statements with another and determine what the missing words are. The teacher will have the answer key to check correct responses. The answers do not have to be the exact words in the answer key but must make sense in the context of the sentence. The sentence must have a subject and a verb, the correct tense of the verb, and subject-verb agreement. Correct spelling of words is also essential. The team that completes the statements first and correctly will win the honor of being "best team for the day." This activity can also be extended by the teacher to include such other content areas as science, mathematics, social studies, and geography. For example, if the class has been involved in science lessons about plants and how they grow, you may give them the following sentences to complete: Plants need ______, ________, _______ in order to grow and stay alive. Some plants can live and grow without _____________. ________ grows only in _________________. Example Sentence: The man ________ the little boy fall. Possible correct answers: saw, made The man saw the little boy fall. The man made the little boy fall. Incorrect answers: was, laugh, walk The man was the little boy fall. The man laugh the little boy fall. The man walk the little boy fall. Other incorrect answers would be the incorrect tense of the verbs saw and made. Sample sentences Can you _________ me find my blue socks? My _________ came to visit last summer, I hope _______ will come back soon. Did you know that ____________ have wings? ______________ do experiments to find out how or why something happens. The capital city of our state is _____________________. The leader of our city is the _____________________. The leader of our state is the _____________________ The leader of our country is the _____________________. The tallest building in our city is the ____________________. Chin Lee had one hundred and seventy-five dollars. He went downtown shopping and spent $96. He came home with ____________ left. How did students demonstrate their ability to complete the sentences? How did students exhibit an improvement in their writing skills? Were students able to construct their own meaning? How was this demonstrated? How did students exhibit the use of higher-order thinking skills? To encourage students to use their cognitive skills To promote higher-order thinking skills To help students become more aware of their environment Use of creative thinking Use of knowledge Use of higher-order thinking skills Language Arts Social Studies Science Students will use their knowledge and/or experiences about various topics to help them complete the following activity. Place the students in cooperative groups. The teacher will write statements similar to those listed below on the board. Students will think of ways they can address the problem or situation. Each group will discuss the same problem. After deciding on a possible plan of action or solution, each group will select a reporter who will share the team's plan. The students will discuss how they formulated their plan and why they think it would work. Sample statements are listed below. The students should be encouraged to add to this list. "If I had the power to ________, I would . . . get someone to clean my room everyday, I would . . . stop children from going to bed hungry, I would . . . help older people, I would . . . get my mother to let me eat only what I liked, I would . . . stop children from fighting with each other, I would . . . make my (some relative or friend) feel better, I would . . . make my school a neat and clean place, I would . . . stop people from selling drugs in my neighborhood, I would . . . help everyone in my classroom get good grades, I would . . . stop wars in other countries, I would . . . buy my family a new home, I would . . . give everyone a loving family, I would . . . Example If I had the power to eat ice cream for breakfast every day, I would rent a big rental truck, drive it to the supermarket, and fill it with every flavor of ice cream the store had. Every day I would eat a different flavor; maybe on some days I would mix two flavors together. Since I would have the power, I would let my little sister eat ice cream for breakfast too. How were students able to relate to current problems in their home, school, or environment? In what ways did they exhibit problem solving skills? How did students demonstrate an awareness of events that surround them? How did students exhibit team-building skills?

For updates on trail conditions, visit the Canal State Park website.The Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail follows the towpath of the canal, which was built in the early 1830s as a transportation corridor between Philadelphia and New York. Along the route you'll find 19th-century bridges and bridge-tender houses, remnants of locks, cobblestone spillways and hand built stone-arch culverts. You can even rent canoes at Griggstown and Princeton if you prefer the water route. The trail runs continuously for nearly 70 miles and is shaped like a "V" with Trenton at its center.

Wire from circuit breaker to water shut off valve
danno480January 16, 2010
I am about to start some remodeling in my basement and came across this wire which I have no idea of its purpose or use. It is a single insulated copper wire which extends from the circuit breaker directly to the water shut off valve in our basement. It does not enter a junction box or anything, but is just exposed copper wiring fastened by clamps to the pipes. What is this for, if anything? and is it something that can be removed?
Please help!

GE Cafe Griddle
I have had my new GE Cafe range for a few months now and really love it! I finally was convinced to use the griddle pan this past week. When I went to clean it, it seems like the coating is peeling off. Anyone else have this problem? Should I call and try and get a new one? Any thoughts would be helpful.
thanks in advance!
I've had the GE Cafe gas range since May and have used the griddle quite a bit for pancakes, grilled cheese and quesadillas. I haven't had any problems cleaning it. I just use a regular sponge and dish soap, no abrasive sponges or cleaners. I would contact GE. Hopefully they will be responsive. They were very responsive to me when my stove was delivered w/o the propane conversion kit. They sent it overmight express. Good luck!
Our new GE Cafe gas range arrived April 3rd. We used the griddle once and when washing, big spots of non-stick coating came off. GE sent another one and just looking at it I can see places where the coating does not completely cover -- little specks. And there are clumps of coating in the corners of the gutter. Very poor quality. I'm awaiting response from GE.

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
28 Jan 2012 23:37 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Latin America, Peru
A fire in a private drug rehabilitation centre in a densely populated area of Peru's capital city has killed at least 26 people and injured 10 others.
A police spokesperson said that the blaze broke out on the first floor of the centre when a patient's mattress caught fire on Saturday morning.
He said the deaths occurred because doors to rooms where some 40 patients were having breakfast were locked and they were stuck inside.
"So far we have information that 22 people died at the scene," said Health Ministry official Javier Correa, adding that four others died after being taken to hospitals.
He also said that at least 10 people were injured, three of whom were in "very, very serious" condition.
Peru's chief fire fighter, Antonio Zavala, said the fire was of "Dantesque proportions".
Firefighters had to punch a hole through a wall with an adjoining building to help the people trapped inside the rehabilitation center.
"We've had to use electric saws to cut through the metal bars of the doors to be able to work," Zavala said.
Television images showed relatives of center residents weeping in front of the building, located in a poor section of eastern Lima.
Gianfranco Huerta, a youth who was being treated at the centre, told local news radio station RPP that he jumped from the second floor of the center to escape the fire.
Huerto said that he was having breakfast when he saw the flames coming from the first floor.
"The doors were locked, there was no way to get out," he said. "I could just see smoke and hear screams."
Paramedics and firefighters were on the scene in Lima's San Juan de Lurigancho neighbourhood, and the injured were being taken to hospitals, the Health Ministry said.
Local media reported that the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, called "God is Love," sought to treat addicts through Biblical teachings.
No representative of the center could be immediately reached for comment.
Peru's fire fighters are notoriously underfunded. All the South American country's firefighters are volunteer and the annual firefighting budget for the entire country is $19m.

It's hard enough having a new baby in the house, none-the-less trying to get out and buy everything they need. That is the idea behind Storkly. People in the Des Moines area can order the baby necessities and have them delivered directly to their door.
It all started with a question offered by a nine year old girl. Emma Renaud wasn't worried about where babies came from. She wanted to know how expectant mothers get the baby necessities they need.
It was this conversation that sparked Emma's inner entrepreneur. With the help of Emma's father, Christian Renaud, a principal at StartupCity Des Moines, the baby product delivery service, Storkly, was born.
"It's its own little subculture, being a new parent," Christian, a self-titled "ex-brand new" parent, said. "You are shocked and awed about your new addition, and looking for any help."
Since Storkly's launch in mid-June, the father and daughter, who serve as the company's "chief sanitation officer" and CEO, respectively, have been working hard to build the delivery service that helps new parents stock up on diapers, formula and "anything that makes their lives easier."
To get the ball rolling with Storkly, which Emma called "just a summer project," she entered local grocery stores, researched all the available baby products in the area and evaluated the prices from store to store. Based on the brand, product and price comparisons she collected, Storkly goods are then priced and accompanied by a $10 flat rate service charge for delivery to any location in the Des Moines area. Storkly users call or place orders directly from the site, pay with Dwolla, Paypal or a credit card and have baby essentials delivered to their door. Emma found other local grocery stores, including Hy-Vee, with similar services. However, the charge for delivery is $25, and prices per products vary.

Most airlines were giving up on flying in and out of New York, Boston and other cities in the Northeast Friday as a massive storm threatened to dump snow by the foot on the region.
US airlines to halt Northeast flights
Airlines were generally shutting down operations in the afternoon at the three big New York-area airports as well as Boston, Providence, Portland, Maine, and other Northeastern airports. They're hoping to resume flights on Saturday.
Flight-tracking website FlightAware said airlines have canceled more than 4,200 flights on Friday and Saturday in advance of the storm.
Many travelers were steering clear of that part of the country altogether. Airlines waived the usual fees to change tickets for flights in the affected areas.
Airlines try to get ahead of big storms by canceling flights in advance rather than crossing their fingers that they can operate in bad weather. They want to avoid having crews and planes stuck in one area of the country. They also face fines for leaving passengers stuck on a plane for more than three hours under a rule that went into effect back in 2010.
Airlines began canceling Saturday flights on Friday.
"That's when the meteorologists start to have reliable predictions and the FAA holds conference calls to discuss which airports are shutting down," said Daniel Baker, CEO of FlightAware.
Airlines are also at the mercy of mass transit in each city they fly to. They'll often wrap up flying around the same time that commuter trains and subways begin shutting down, he said.
Storms like this one jam up airline call centers, so airlines are increasingly automating the process of re-booking passengers.
Delta is rolling out software it calls "VIPER" — Virtual Inconvenienced Passenger Expedited Reprotection — to find a replacement flight for passengers whose flights have been canceled.
