A PP-209 feeder problem
I had just changed the water in these feeders last night cleaned them well so I couldnt understand why wasps were all over one of the feeders. So I brought the feeder in after chasing the wasps away and not getting stung. I found that the feeder was leaking out of every port onto the lip a virtual dining pleasure for the wasps. I double checked the base filling it with water and sure enough every time the water comes pouring out of the base ports. Ive had these feeders for about 3yrs. I did replace the base on one because the perch had broken. I will now have to order another base. Im just not sure why It started leaking from all ports all of a sudden. The wasps left after bringing this feeder in and they not finding leakage on the other two feeders.
Sorry you're having a problem with the 209 PP. I have one hanging along with my other "old" pps with the 4 individual perches. I do have a brand new 209 still in the box that I won't be using and I'll be glad to send that to you if you like...my pleasure!
Do you have any First Nature feeders from Walmart? I have several of those and the hummers love them. I've had leaking feeders, too and it's so darn frustrating! I don't have much of a wasp problem now, maybe one or two...swatted one of them yesterday...but I'm holding my breath concerning yellowjackets. Last year I had a terrible problem with them, but haven't laid eyes on one yet..KNOCK ON WOOD!
I just have to say that I think the extra price for the Hummzinger feeders for me has been worth it. They NEVER leak and all my Hummers have adapted to them.
In the end they are worth the price--especially since Nottawa has such good prices. This year I did not even put the Walmart feeders out because of ant and bee problems with them.
Hi Steve,
I don't see how the problem could be with the flowers. The way the feeder is designed the sugar water should never reach the flowers, it should only have a half inch or so of liquid at the bottom of the feeder. Actually it should never get deeper than the rim of the glass jar, once the liquid reaches the glass no air can get into the bottle. Thus no more liquid will come out. Check the plastic thread area to be sure there is no hairline crack.
Not sure Hummzinger makes a feeder big enough for Steve's birds. :c)
I have four feeders out now. The PP209(overkill for me as the levels in any of my feeders hardly drops at all), Droll Yankee LF3, PP single port feeder, and the Jewel Box window feeder. The feeder that gets the most use is the 209! What a pain that feeder would be if you let it get mold. There are nooks, crannies, channels you can't even see, etc. in that base with hardly any access holes!
That is so kind of you to offer your spare 209 feeder but there isnt much time left in the hummer season here, maybe two good weeks or less before they dwindle to nothing here. I will just get by on what I have. Im not getting the throngs of birds I was getting anyway. Yes I have another 209 and a first nature hanging out back and another first nature out front besides the walmart oneport jobies. The wasps were sure mad after I removed the defective feeder, they were all over the other two large feeders trying desparately to find a leaky spot, after a while they pretty much moved elsewhere. If I happen to get a hummer invasion I can add another first nature as they like those no leakage. It just seems to me that the hummer season is really winding down here.
Steve, it sounds like the lowest part of the bottle neck is higher than it should be. Is anything preventing the bottle from screwing fully into the base? Is there a crack or gouge in the bottle's neck that would then raise the level of the nectar in your feeder?

Espaeth what script is that! that is beautiful i love how it's graphing your speed.
i am not crying because they have a policy and i broke it, i an frowning upon their shady business practices. Everything about the advertisements are smoke and mirrors.
(150GB/day here i come!). Any of you who want to overpay and under-receive as well as support a shady company its your dollars....spend them however makes you happy![mod edit --- made image display without blowing out margins --- fatness]
With things like streaming HD on Netflix and Directv On Demand, not to mention Comcast's own streaming video, how on Earth do they expect to keep those caps where they are? Either they are going to have to up them, or spend all their time going after people. See, that makes no sense to me, they want us to consume, yet when we do they get mad, crazy logic if you ask me.

"This is a Catholic country."
Can't even trust myself to comment.
"This is a situation we were told would never arise. An unviable foetus - the woman was having a miscarriage - was given priority over the woman's life, who unfortunately and predictably developed septicaemia and died."
Here is a link that might be useful: Ignorance is bliss
That's sad. And maddening too.
That actually brings to mind a situation that now I have to ask about. Many years ago, an aquaintance of mine was told they could not find the fetus' heartbeat during a visit. Further tests showed that the fetus had indeed died in utero.
The hospital gave her an option of having the fetus removed or letting it pass naturally, which they told her was better for her body's healing process. She opted to have her body pass it naturally and apparently did with no problems.
Was the natural process better or was she being set up for the same kind of problem as this woman?
I suppose it depends on whether she was having complications in the miscarriage... many women have miscarriages without problems...
I mourn her! That is so horrible. I will tell you, the US doesn't view it the same way. If your body is already miscarrying, they'll do a DC and call it a DC, not an abortion. Actually, they do call it a "spontaneous abortion?", but it's surely viewed differently. I think the difference is that the conception has to have a real possbility of living, which there wasn't any possibility for her conception. They should've seen that. Why they didn't is beyond me.
I can answer that. I have had five miscarriages (and one contentious pregnancy that turned out with a fantastic kid! He's a miracle and worth it all). The last two, I let my body do it all naturally. I finally figured out, older and wiser, nature knew best and it was far less invasive. It can happen just fine without intervention. Such was obviously not the case of this beautiful dentist's case. It's so horrible!
The last two, I let my body do it all naturally. I finally figured out, older and wiser, nature knew best and it was far less invasive.
This was basically what the doctor had told her... the body will start relieveing the swelling faster on it's own if it miscarries naturally, healing time, etc.
I suppose the woman in the story had a complication OF a miscarriage... the miscarriage itself was not the dangerous part.
all the problems the Church had in that nation it still exerts political control over the lives of people who are no believers or down right hostile to it's dogma!
or are Catholics who believe in saving the life of the woman instead of adhering to the cult of the fetus.
I agree HG, thrust upon her. Not unlike the teen boy who died of appendicitis because of his parents' belief, what, a couple of months ago? I just don't understand how ANY religious ideal can be more precious than a life. Why are the courts letting them get away with it? Regardless of the country?
Truly spoken like a man who would never have to suffer the possibility of losing their life. Play God with your own life, not someone else's. All right then. Appealing to your somewhat shifting logic: If they were to save the life of the baby, they'd have to have kept the mother alive. Don't you think it's neglectful not to have helped both of them?
True, I cannot be pregnant. The closest I can get to such a situation is to imagine one of my daughters in that predicament and that it was my decision. Probably I would say terminate because I care more about the person I know than the fetus I don't know. Thank goodness I'll never have make such a decision, and I don't presume to judge those that have to make it.
But I don't necessarily consider that to be the most ethical decision. That's the thing about the whole abortion issue, IMO, it's lose-lose. There is no right attitude toward it.
My understanding was that the fetus was dying. It was not a question of whether to save the fetus or save the mother. The fetus was going to die no matter what they did. The issue was, why did the mother have to die just because the fetus was dying. All they got out of that was TWO deaths instead of ONE.
Such a tragic story--and such a horrible hospital policy and an inhumane religion that requires a woman must die to save a fetus OR because a fetus is dying. That is just downright sick!
Barbaric and medieval. We have the technology, the modern medicine, but not the logic or compassion. How very typical of religious idealism.
And people wonder why I don't have good things to say about this subject.
I mourn the loss of this woman, who wasn't even of the same faith, and did not have to die. The possibility of full recovery, and of carrying another pregnancy to full term might have been very good. But her husband will never know, because religion allowed... no, forced... the death of his wife.
There's no "sacred plan" in that. It's abominable, reprehensible, vile, and repugnant.
Hindsight 20-20? Sounds like they knew what was going on.
He went on: "A doctor said it was the law - that this is a Catholic country. Savita said, `I am neither Irish not Catholic' but they said there was nothing they could do."
He said the doctor said that the baby would not survive, but that as long as there was a foetal heartbeat "there was nothing they could do." Three days followed, he added, in which the heartbeak was checked several times a day.

Character Walnut Wide Plank Floors
Here is a post with some photos of my walnut floors. I was on here periodically looking for advice on sources and finishing so I thought I would follow up!
They are from Blackford and Sons (Luke Blackford) and are random width character walnut finished in waterlox. We love them!
Here is the link in URL
Here is a link that might be useful: Direct link to floor photos (mixed with other pictures, sorry)
Hi, I am thinking of ordering stair treads, risers and some walnut hardwood flooring from Blackford and sons and just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this company? thank you!
I've heard back from Blackford regarding the floors. They said that they delivered floor to OP unfinished and that she finished them onsite. I'm not familiar with waterlox but is there a stain on these floors or are they just sealed? They look so dark. If there is a stain, can you tell me what you used? Thanks :)
These are site finished floors. There is no stain, American black walnut is that color naturally. Which is nice since when there is a scratch the wood is the same color all the way through. Luke is right we did use Waterlox, two coats original then a satin. I also considered hard waxes like Oslo but couldn't find anyone irl who used it. We love love love our floors. We also used their treads.
Your welcome. The other point I will make on site finished floods is cost. We found similar finished floors for 32 dollars a square foot and these were under 7. It does cost more to have them finished onsite - a few dollars- but I think the effect is way better for the price. IMO!
Hi adh673. I was wondering if you had any pets or children running around across these floors, and if so, how have they held up? I keep reading online that walnut is a soft hardwood. I am having the hardest time commiting to walnut for fear that they will be scratched the first day. Also, I might have missed this in your posts, but did Blackford nd sons do your install and sealing? Finally, have you found the waterlox to be greasy at all?
I have three small boys. There have definately been dents, nicks, etc. in the floor. The worst case is actually dents from someone wearing stilettos at a party and leave little indents. If you are looking for a polished pristine floor, do NOT get black walnut. In our case, we liked the juxtaposition of new and old and liked the feel of an antique floor. We originally were going to "distress" the floors after they were installed (and they are character grade so they have knots, etc) but then we decided not to because they were so pretty! However, time does distress them, they are relatively soft. If you drop a can and it hits at a certain angle it will leave a mark. But since they were already character grade, it doesnt look like the floor has a mark here or there, it just has an overall aged patina. As such, they do not bother us. I maybe could have done without the cluster of stilletto marks but thats life. We also had some scratches from the kitchen chairs being scrapped in and out from the table by the kids and we did the touch up of waterlox and they disappeared. They come back eventually though!
Bottom line, if you like antique floors, there are none more beautiful than black walnut (IMO). We would pick them again and will put them in our next house. If you like a very durable floor you are better off with a white oak stained dark or a ipe or something like that. If anyone says they dont mark, they are walking around in socks and not entertaining.
As for the waterlox, not at all sticky, it dries hard and it actually doesnt feel like there is anything on there. It sort of sinks into the wood, the wood has sheen but you cant really detect a "finish" or "layer" on top. When they scuff, it just gets a little duller there until you add more waterlox. Waterlox is an ordeal however- we had to move out- we tried to stay in the basement the first time and it was horrible. The next two layers we left for overnight. It takes about 24 hours to cure.

Stocks staged a late day rally because the Senate is prepared to kick the can down the road, avoiding any chance of fiscal sanity this year or next.Whether or not the House will go along is another matter, but unfortunately Speaker Boehner calls House back to Washington on Sunday
The House of Representatives will reconvene on Sunday evening, just less than 30 hours before the United States reaches the fiscal cliff.House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, notified lawmakers that the House would come to order at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday in hopes of averting the end-of-year combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that constitute the fiscal cliff.The lawmaker on Thursday's call told NBC News that any Senate plan Boehner puts on the House floor (of which there is no guarantee) would only receive as few as 40 Republican votes, making Democratic help necessary."If the Senate will not approve these bills and send them to the president to be signed into law in their current form, they must be amended and returned to the House," Boehner told Republicans Thursday, according to a source on the call. "Once this has occurred, the House will then consider whether to accept the bills as amended, or to send them back to the Senate with additional amendments. The House will take this action on whatever the Senate can pass -- but the Senate must act."

Super six sleepers in the NBA draft
Updated: June 21, 2011, 3:28 PM ETBy Dick Vitale | ESPN.com
This year's NBA draft is about potential, potential, potential. Of course, it is that potential which can get a coach fired so the next guy can benefit from the draft pick, baby!
It usually takes three to five years to really evaluate how well a draft pick works out. Last year, just a few players averaged double figures as a rookie, so it takes time to have an impact.
When I look at this year's draft, and it is one of the weakest in my 32 years as a TV analyst, I still ...

replacing windows in manuf house
Hello, we have a manufactured home and when it came time to replace some door knobs, we found we had to order them from a manuf home site because 'normal' ones were too deep.
Now we would like to replace all the windows in our home to the vinyl (sans the storm windows)that flip down to clean.....my question is are we going to run into the same deal where typical normal replacements will not fit the dimensions of the manuf home?
Any one done this....have suggestions?
Also, is there an economical way to insulate these homes since there is no attic ?
Thanks in advance
There are a lot of unanswered questions here. My suggestion would be to measure your windows and talk to someone at the store where you plan to buy them. If your windows are not standard you will be paying more for them as they will have to be custom fitted. I'm guessing the most important measurement would be the thickness of your walls. Most newer models have pretty standard stick built specs. Older models have thinner walls and make finding ready built windows difficult to fit. The same is true of doors. If you're not replacing the door itself then the thinner walls make a difference and hardware would have to be special ordered through your dealer.
Insulation ---- The walls and ceilings should already be insulated. If you're replacing insulation then that becomes a major job as the old needs to be removed first. If you remove siding to remove insulation then replacing it is no problem. If, for some reason, there is no insulation at all then you could look into blown insulation but I don't think you could blow insulation in on top of old insulation.
We ended having to custom order all our new windows and used the "New Construction" type, these have lips on the outside of them, easy to put rope caulking around just before installing and they screwed right into the side of the house without looking horrible. It was either this way or getting standard windows and cutting out and forming new window frames or trying to match siding / replace all the siding on the Mobile Home. We went with the less expensive way by just ordering the sizes we needed. We also watched our local store ads and found that they even have sales on custom orders every so often (major National Chain Home Improvement Stores) If you have extra room on the inside frames when you insert your new windows, just by some nice 1 x ?" pine, cut to fit, then paint or stain the color you need. Turned out really nice and OH THE SAVINGS ON THE UTILITY BILLS paid for the windows in two years. Best of Luck

Not very purtty-- ;)
But it works for what we have.. look what my DH put up for my little green family!! They get the morning sun, shade in the afternoon, plus he put up a shelf on the porch so when the morning sun gets a bit too warm~~ and it will (after all the griping about the cold! can't win, lol)
Not sure what daddy thinks of it, but he hasn't said anything either. (his carport) The little girl next door loves it, she will help me bring them in at night, if she's home.
But this works for now,, PLENTY of room for MORE!! lol
Marjie~~ very happy right now~ :)
Marjie. I'm sure when you're happy, your DH is happy.. :)
The shelf is an excellent idea.
How cold do nights get? Maybe some plants can stay out???
Your collection has really grown! I remember when you first joined. Think you had 1 Spider...??
Your plants look great...what's the 3rd, 'left to right' hanging plant?
Hi...where are you in zone 4, I'm in zone 4 too...MN
and we have snow on the ground yet, although it is getting warmer, we were arround 50' yesterday and now today it is very cold.....your plants look great and the set up is going to be great for the summer.....I can't wait to get my plants outside and wash them all down with the garden hose......good growing all..Hi Mike.....linda
Hi all.. Preston ID is where I am. Very lowest part of the state.... At night it gets to the upper 30's, lower 40's. So yes, they do come in at night. Right now it is barely 50F and they are inside. Yesterday they were out for only a few hours before the wind got a bit too much, and the temp dropped. Not sure if they will go out today. My smaller spider didn't look too good when we brought her in last night, thinking it wasn't warm enough yet for her to be out. She looks much better this morning...
Hopeful, if it is the one i think you're talking about, it is my Hindu Rope Hoya, looks like the only 3rd one you can see, there was one hanging behind the Big Mama Spider that you can't see and another one next to it that is too small to see too. The Spider plant isn't hanging, tho it looks like it is. Is that the one you were talking about? if not, let me know. :)
I remember when I came here too, and my mama spider was not doing well at all!! look at her now!! Thanks to everyone here and kicking me in the head about just letting it be... it worked-- lol, And if things go ok this summer, My little green family will grow, but right now, it is a wait and see thing, not sure what will happen next. To me it is like getting a new pet, can you take care of it in a long term deal?
and yes, dh is happy when I am happy. :D (plus it gave him something to do-- lol)
I hope that all of you will have a Great Day! Happy Easter to those of you that celebrate it. Not sure If I will see mom today, hope I do, but daddy wants to take her out for a ride, first time she has been out of the nursing home since Jan. I hope she has a good day, even if she won't remember it. that is my hope for today...
Marjie ~~ misses her mom being home
Belated Happy Easter,
Marjie, guess the plant I asked about was 4th. To the right of Hindu Rope, but hanging.
Yep, you were having problems w/your Spider.
Is the very first plant, 'left' a Spider?
You said getting a new plant is like getting a new pet.
Plants need work, but nowhere near as much as pets.
With plants, you can leave the house w/o worrying if it will pp or duty the carpet. lol
No can/dry/moist food. One type is fine. Lasts a lot longer, too. lol.
Giving DH's something to do is a BIG plus. If they agree to do it, and do it right..lol.
Did you get to see your mom? How's she doing?
I don't know much about the problem she has, but isn't there medications that work w/o side effects?
Hi again, been having MAJOR internet problems lately, on a good note- not on our end of it this time!! lol
Hopeful- from the right of the Hindu Rope there is a Thanksgiving cactus then a Sweedish Ivy.
been a bit chilly for them these past few days, not quite 60 atm, but breeze is cooler. When we brought them in on the day of the picture, my little spider didn't look too well, all faded and wilty like, (looked much better the next day) so I'm not sure if it was the sun or if it was a bit too chilly for it, but it was the only one that reacted badly.. all the others seem to really enjoy it. Will have to see about putting them out again today... boy, what I would do for a WAGON right now! lol
And I did see mom on Easter and it was a very good visit. They had a Sunday Service there and she actually wanted to go!! And I have seen her almost every day after that.
She has Dementia, so far she is doing good with the meds, still confused, but she knows us still, and she really wants to come home. She can't understand why she is there and that is the saddest part of this whole thing, leaving her alone... a lot of times we will leave her crying, but the nurses say within a few mins she is fine and going about her business. On a good note tho, My dad has been taking her out for short rides now that the weather is nice, she really likes that and responds well to it... :)
Thanks for asking about her, problem is, I don 't know when to stop talking about her.. I miss her being here. So I talk when asked.. :)

Dolce & Gabbana sure do love their divas, and are showing love to arguably the biggest diva in the world, Naomi Campbell, on Fashion's Night Out:
The Italian duo are offering 14 limited-edition collection T-shirts to celebrate Campbell's 25 years in the industry. Each tee showcases a classic shot of Campbell taken by a famous fashion photographer.
The $200 Shirts will be available on September 10th in New York, September 21st in London, the 26th in Milan, October 4th in Paris, and October 20th in Moscow. Proceeds go towards Fashion for Relief.
I don't know about you, but I'd rock the stuff out of a Naomi shirt.
Would you?
I would love 1 myself, but they are going for $200. I can't do that right now. :o(
Why $200? I love her but I would only pay $100 I have a budget that day lol !
I would definitely rock on if they were more affordable. Congrats to her on such a milestone!
Cool Shirts.
I love Naomi. She nutured young divas and demonstrated why black women are soo regal. When we take care of ourselves and care for our bodies, we look like goddesses. Every woman of every ethnicity is beautiful but right now…Naomi is shutting it down.
I would hope that some fashion network (BET is not fashion forward enough to host a tribute) would pay an hour long tribute to her. I would love to see all those fabulous Elle magazine spreads from the 80s. Oh and to see Andre Leon Tally MC the event.
Please, if these shirts were printed up and sold by the nearest bootleg man I'd buy one, definitely not for $200. @ Mz. Bronze, who has Naomi nurtured? Let Tyra tell it she hated on every other up and coming black model back in her hay day.
I would love to get my hands on one of those t-shirt, but at $200, I think I'll pass.
@ Sun.kissed
She nutured me. As a black boney loner surrounded by chicks who never picked up a Seventeen/Vouge/Elle/W/V/ a day in their teenage life. She let ME know I was not alone as a future fashion diva.
And so what she hated on Tyra. Tyra is not hurting anymore. They did resolve their differences. We're talking a catty business, not two career secretaries hating on each other. I tell you what. I'm in the broadcast business. Very cut throat. But I would not take back one of those experience to save my life. Not only did it give me thicker skin but it helped me become stronger, faster, and craftier. And I love it!
Believe it or not ladies—you need haters to motivate that azz.
And one more thing. Naomi has NEVER fallen off. Tyra; God Bless her, got fat and had to loose weight. This may a trivial fact in our crisis driven world but it proves that Naomi deserved her spot as a fashion diva. She has never fell off and let her self go so to speak. That takes a lot of drive to stay on top. And for that I salute her.
Her legs…!!!!!
She has amazing legs. But 200 dollars for this shirt…child please.
What about the Blood Diamonds!?!?

Jannes van der Wal
Jannes van der Wal (November 12, 1956, Driesum - September 24, 1996, Groningen) was a Dutch/Frisian draughts player and world champion in the game. He also played chess at a nearly competitive level.
He became world champion in São Paulo in 1982. After that he garnered attention for his humorous or even eccentric personality. His interviews on Dutch TV were unusual involving a full minute where he did not talk or others where he reacted oddly on being asked how old he was. After this he became a minor celebrity appearing in a few programs on Dutch television. He was also the subject of a 1999 documentary titled Jannes.[1]
He is believed to have held the record on simultaneous play as he played against 225 players on July 16, 1987. He won against 93% of the 225 opponents with 14 games being draws and 4 losses. Anton van Berkel has since beaten this record.
In 1996 Jannes van der Wal died of leukemia.

"One girl can be silenced, but a nation of girls telling their stories becomes free" slideshow
A photo contest winner
Topics: U.S. Economy, News
One bad economic data blip is easy to ignore. When jobless claims jumped up sharply a week ago, analysts blamed Easter-related calendar irregularities and warned that there is always a lot of "noise" in a weekly data series. But then the number of new claims remained uncomfortably high in the report released yesterday, and brows started furrowing everywhere (except, perhaps, in Mitt Romney's campaign headquarters.)
Suddenly, the four-week moving average, a gauge designed to smooth out all that weekly noise, was up to its highest point since January. Coming on top of a weaker-than-expected labor report for March, signs that industrial production growth is slowing, and continued softness in housing, the conventional wisdom on the state of the economic recovery took a swift turn for the bearish. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal immediately published nearly identical articles, "Fears Rise That Economic Recovery May Falter in the Spring," and "Economic Signals Stir Worries."
We've seen this movie before. Last year, at almost exactly the same point in the spring, a nascent recovery curled up in the fetal position and expired. But that time around, there were obvious reasons for the slowdown: the earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster in Japan, panic over the European sovereign debt crisis, a Libya-related gas price spike, and the prospect of a government shutdown.
This time, there haven't been any disasters to shake up global supply-and-production chains. Europe, while still a mess, doesn't seem as perilously close to implosion as it did a year ago. Yes, gas prices spiked again, but may already have peaked. All of which, paradoxically, contributes to a sense of greater unease. If there are no clear external factors explaining the sputtering U.S. recovery, then maybe the relatively strong performance at the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 was just a mirage.
Except, here's what we do know. By just about every measure, the U.S. economy is significantly stronger now than it was a year ago. Retail sales are up, auto sales are surging, and labor markets are much more stable. Tax receipts for most states have exceeded their pre-recession highs. American households are loaded down with less debt. Estimates of GDP growth for the first quarter of 2012 have steadily risen over the last two months. In the long-term, a very slow recovery still appears to be solidly in place. That's good news for the United States.
But with a presidential election seven months away, America's attention is all focused on the short-term. And from a Democratic perspective, time is fast running out for an economic recovery to have any meaningful positive effect on Obama's chances for retaining the White House. The opposite may be more likely to be true: If elevated jobless claims translate into another weak labor report for April, negative sentiment about the state of the economy may solidify, regardless of whatever long-term trends are in place.
The first round of polling since Mitt Romney locked down the Republican nomination for president suggests that the election in November will be excruciatingly close. A strong economic recovery, consolidating throughout a long summer, could have changed that calculus. But as of right now, the economy is saying, as clearly as we can interpret its muddled, contradictory, constantly shifting signs: Don't look to me for help: You're on your own.

GAO reviewed Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board) new rule on electronic fund transfers. GAO found that (1) the final rule limits the ability of a financial institution to assess an overdraft fee for paying automated teller machine (ATM) and one-time debit card transactions that overdraw a consumer's account, unless the consumer affirmatively consents, or opts in, to the institution's payment of overdrafts for these transactions; and (2) the Board complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

iPad Be Nimble, iPad Be Quick
One of the most challenging lessons for schools to learn in implementing iPads is that the iPad is not a laptop. The conversation can sometimes get bogged down around the device, trapping schools in these definitions as they lose sight of the central reasons to use technology:
- To enhance teaching and learning
- To differentiate instruction
- To personalize the learning experience
- To solve authentic problems where technology must be used to solve those problems
This is not an easy lesson. It requires a paradigm shift in teaching and learning.
iPads vs. Laptops
It's worth noting the different features of laptops and iPads and to see the benefit of both devices.
While the laptop is heavy, takes a long time to boot up, and is often used as a word processing tool with typing and keyboarding being paramount, it's also a powerful device for computer programming and accessing Adobe Flash-based simulations, particularly in the sciences. And the laptop is not bound by the app store. Many adults often prefer using a laptop over an iPad. And many students feel the same way. The laptop is often the default go-to device, full of power and possibility.
The shift to iPads over laptops does not have to be a zero sum game. The ideal setting, being adopted by many schools, is moving to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs to allow for flexibility and for students to work on their own devices. And BYOD also shifts the conversation away from the device and toward the learning experience. In other words, based on the learning experience, which device will best allow students to achieve the learning objectives? It might be a laptop or a tablet -- or even a smartphone.
Fast and Nimble
For teachers making the transition to iPads, frustration can set in if they continue to view the iPad as being deficient as a laptop. For example, they might talk about how difficult it is for kids to keyboard and edit on an iPad. We need to put the keyboarding issue to rest. Dr. Mark David Milliron comments, "While the new generations send text messages at 60 words per minute, the Baby Boomers text at six words per minute on average."
The iPad is a mobile device, and kids can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. Through using the split screen to type in the manner of texting, they can get their thoughts down quickly. In watching students use iPads, it's remarkable to see how facile they are in moving, adjusting and rearranging text in a Pages document, for example. It can be blinding to watch this fast, nonlinear workflow that is completely alien to the way adults were trained to type.
Clive Thompson in The Globe and Mail explains the concept of speed:
When it comes to writing and thinking, speed matters. It's what's called transcription fluency: If you can't write fast enough, you can lose an idea or a way of phrasing something, and it never comes back, Steven Graham, a literacy scholar at Arizona State University, told me. In contrast, when you can write and edit more swiftly, you can include more ideas and flesh them out more deeply.
Speed writing, outside of the boundaries of the traditional typing model, can be unsettling and baffling to many educators. The iPad is mobile, light, nimble, and boots up easily and quickly. To get started in class, all a student has to do is open the case and the iPad is ready. It's not meant to sit on a desktop. Instead, it is designed to be transported and used in flexible spaces.
Classroom Examples
In a science class, the iPad is a perfect device to video the steps and evolution of a lab, where a student can walk the viewer through the experience of conducting an experiment. Or students can photograph different components of the lab to create a virtual lab writeup. A laptop is more difficult to maneuver for capturing this type of learning experience.
For a world language class, students can interview each other outside of the classroom to practice authentic dialogue. They can create scripts and scenarios, and teachers can assess accents and pronunciation. But kids should be able to get out of their seats, and teachers should be willing to collapse the classroom walls.
From a visual standpoint, the iPad enables a whole new version of note taking. Sketch-noting has transformed note taking away from linear and toward artistic, creative, visual and free forming information capture. In T.H.E Journal, Paul Glader explains how sketch-noting works:
Many practitioners of sketch-noting use a stylus pen to draw on the iPad and use a drawing app such as Paper combined with apps like Evernote or Google Drive to save and manage notes in the cloud. Some snap their own photos of blackboards or PowerPoint slides, integrating images into their visual notes. Others grab photos from the web, cropping and dropping them into their notes and jotting maps, arrows, and words to connect and illustrate the ideas.
A Mobile Device
Again, the message is that the iPad opens doors to meeting the needs of a wider range of learners, learning styles and modalities.
As schools continue to explore the transition to iPads, it is critical to push the question back to teachers whether they are viewing the iPad as a replacement for the laptop or as a mobile device capable of dismantling time, space and linear approaches to learning.
Of course, this can be a terrifying thought, especially as schools have been designed for students to learn inside classrooms, at desks, and in a daily, weekly and yearly schedule constructed in a linear fashion with a one-size-fits-all mindset.
The recent Apple iPad ad, "Your Verse," shows users outside employing the iPad as a mobile device. Not a single image in the ad has the user sitting at a desk.
The benefit of the iPad is that it can be one size fits each, with boundless opportunities for differentiated, customized and personalized learning that gets kids out of their seats and classrooms, and into open, flexible and modular spaces.

I teach Kindergarten and would love to use the Ipad even more in my classroom. We did not receive an Ipad from our district yet (we use our personal ones), but there is a push to put them in all of the classrooms in our district. I want to become more familiar with what I am able to do on the Ipad, if anyone has any recommendations on classes to take that would be very helpful. The other kindergarten teacher and I are always looking for appropriate Kindergarten apps/lessons that we can use in our classroom. Right now we are using them for songs and remediation in the mornings with students that are struggling. It is a valuable resource for our kindergarteners to use because there is an app that we found where they trace the letters and then hear the letter name and its sound. We are also using it in a program that we started this year, where they are practicing sight words and letters on the Ipad. I want to be able to use it during my lessons and allow more children the time on it. I also use it to video lessons so that I can use it to reflect on how the lesson went. It is so easy to set it up, video the lesson, and then see what I would change. I think this is a great tool, I just need to spend time figuring out ways to incorporate it even more into my classroom. Any suggestions would be great.
Hi Nicole, check out this Edutopia community discussion about iPad kindergarten apps. You might find some ideas there.
The discussion for iPad kindergarten apps is great! I think I could use them for my first grade students. What about apps for older students (2nd-5th grades)? Is there any discussion out there for those grade levels?
I love the use of iPads in schools. I see them being used in so many ways in my district. Teachers use in Dibels testing. The iPads are also used frequently with the students with IEPs. They are easy for students to use and so mobile.
Because I am not a full time teacher, I do not have access to the districts wi-fi. I catch myself putting notes and dates on my iphone. I also have a list of different time fillers, ideas, and games for students. I also have many bookmarked pages that I can go to in a quick second while substitute teaching. No need for me to carry tons of papers, binders, etc...
Hi Katie, there's a community discussion that was started by a 4th grade teacher about iPads, which you can find here:
It's a long thread, so there's bound to be some nuggets in there. You're also welcome to start your own discussion. We have some awesome facilitators in the community who will be happy to help. Just head to the link below and use the "Start a New Discussion" link in the left sidebar.
I teacher middle school music and I am becoming a huge fan of the iPad. The music programs are very hands on and easy for my students to use. Since my school has an iPad carts, I am able to provide each student with an iPad instead of sharing laptops. I am looking forward to my school district starting to integrate more of BYOD into our schools.
I don't students today making the distinction between a laptop vs iPad as much as adults do. Many of us have had laptops for over a decade and it was our default mobile device. I think kids will have preferences if asked. My daughter prefers a laptop and my son prefers the iPad when writing. I see iPads being used everyday in my district and the students in k-6 love the iPads. The apps for iMovie and GarageBand are watered down versions of their desktop siblings, but for most of our students that is ok.
I am a high school biology teacher and my department received a class set of iPads to utilize in the classroom. The issue I am having is that as a teacher I cannot add apps onto the iPad myself but must go through the technology department of my school to get the app added. However, it also takes time for the technology personal to add the app to the iPad from the time request that I am often not on that topic anymore. I was wondering suggestions on how to incorporate iPads effectively into lessons. I do not want to just use the iPad as a supplemental textbook but as an effective learning tool. I would like to know any successful suggestions that you may have experienced with iPads.
Hi Ms. Budney,
This is really the driving question behind the work that I've been doing with my students. The key to your question is to move past the idea of subject-specific apps, and to move towards flexible, creative ways for the students to use them to demonstrate their learning. We've carefully chosen a set of core applications that can be used in any subject area all day long.
The apps that we use most frequently include Explain Everything, iMovie, and Book Creator for iPad. These apps are simple enough for elementary students, but rich enough with features that our high school students also use them.
Our school corporation has gone to 1:1 with K-8 iPads and laptops 9-12. This is our first year using technology in all grade levels. I learned right along with my students and loved it! Students started out taking notes but quickly moved on to discussions, presentations, research, and communicating with me through email so I could help with homework questions. They took pictures of my lessons and anchor charts to refer to later. They found, on their own, our math book online so that they didn't have to take their book home! They discovered that if they didn't know something they could immediately find out more about it online. They recorded themselves reading so they could self monitor. The possibilities are endless. I can't wait for school to start so I can see what more we can discover.

Florence Freedom To Host "Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Bobblehead Day"
On Thursday evening, the Florence Freedom, an independent baseball team in Kentucky, announced that it would be giving away "Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Bobbleheads," which are really just empty boxes, to the first 1,000 fans.
"This will be the best kind of bobblehead a fan could get," Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said. "Because now fans can make the bobblehead out to be whatever they want it to be."
The promotion obviously is poking fun at what appears to be a gigantic hoax concerning Te'o's "girlfriend," Lennay Kekua. Deadspin.com reported on Wednesday that no girl named Kekua ever died nor existed; this online relationship turned out to be one "sick joke," as Te'o described it. Media surrounding the situation is speculating whether or not Te'o was actually involved in the fake story, which inspired many throughout the college football season.
Freedom general manager Josh Anderson claims he is simply finding a way to create buzz for the team in the cold month of January. When asked whether he believed the promotion to be offensive, he responded, "I don't know who we'd be offending… It would just be isolated to the guy who made his season off this story." In addition to the bobbleheads, the Freedom will play a "kiss cam" for fans to kiss their imaginary friend and will hold an air guitar contest for children.
"Te'o-ing" just got taken to a whole new level.
