Rovatti is finishing high school online with the Massachusetts Virtual Academy.
Letter: TN Virtual Academy should stay open
(Knoxville News Sentinel)
In a recent article about my school ("Though future in doubt, TN Virtual Academy fights on"), Union County's director of schools said that the staff, students and families of TNVA will continue to fight to remain open. I am one of those fighting.

UA Student Headed for Career in Special Education
(Inside Tucson Business)
University of Arizona student Kateri Hitchcock will be the one in cap and gown this May, but it's others who will benefit most from her degree. Hitchcock, a 21-year-old Tucson native, was inspired to study special education because of her brother, Maximilian, 6, who was born with Down syndrome. Kateri, one of seven children, was homeschooled via the Arizona Virtual Academy, a state-certified online public schooling system. Being at home allowed her to help out with her brother, which while challenging at times, has been every bit as rewarding.
POLL: Tennessee Voters Overwhelmingly Agree Public Schools Should Not Be Closed Based Solely on State Tests
(Press Release)
A recent poll by the Tarrance Group found an overwhelming majority of Tennessee registered voters oppose the closing of a public school based solely on results from the state's standardized test. The same poll found voters were even more strongly against state legislators who supported such closings.
Though future in doubt, TN Virtual Academy fights on
While Tennessee's Education Commissioner Candice McQueen has upheld a decision to close the Tennessee Virtual Academy at the end of the year unless its scores continue to improve, school officials are still fighting for it.
Announcing Open Enrollment
School Choice Parents Sue Tennessee Education Commissioner
(TN Watchdog)
Two sets of parents of children attending a Tennessee virtual charter school have filed a lawsuit to keep the school open. State officials want to shut it down after the school year. As reported, parents at Tennessee's Virtual Academy said test scores are gradually improving, and closing the school now is premature.
11-year old just wants to skate
(Bluff Country News)
Laci Skifter, an 11-year-old, is always in motion…twirling, jumping, running, sliding into a room like she's meant to arrive that way with an audience awaiting her. But at the same time, she could care less if an audience was there – the Minnesota Virtual Academy student's got her confidence spinning and ready for her next figure skating competition on Sunday, March 15, in Wisconsin.
Fuel Education Introduces 70 New High School Courses in its Expanded 2015-2016 Catalog
(Press Release)
As school districts across the country seek to expand high school course options, improve academic outcomes, and help students prepare for state exams and high stakes tests—personalized learning solutions provider Fuel Education (FuelEd™) has added 70 new high school courses to its online catalog for the 2015-2016 school year. These new courses—many available in multiple versions suitable for students working at a wide variety of levels—give FuelEd customers the offering they need to satisfy the needs of specific student segments.
Young authors and young fans and Festival of Books
The University of Arizona mall and surrounding area was filled with thousands today for the first day of the Tucson Festival of Books. The event draws authors from all over for book signings like Amy Tan, Valerie Plame, Dave Barry and more. Among the list of renowned authors is a newcomer of sorts, 14-year-old China Dennington. Dennington says writing takes a long time, so she goes to Arizona Virtual Academy. It is an online public school.
The National Parenting Publication Awards (NAPPA) has named K12's Noodleverse a 2015 Bronze Winner.
Noodleverse TM Language Arts is an engaging online reading and writing skills practice and enrichment program that allows young learners to work independently to become more confident, competent readers and writers.
NAPPA is one of the longest running and most respected awards programs in the country, and has been hailed the "go-to" source for parents and professionals seeking the best products for children and families.
"We are proud that Noodleverse continues to be recognized as a high-quality educational product for young learners," said Dr. Melissa King, Director of Early Learning and Product Advancement. "The award is a testament to the expertise of our dedicated curriculum team. This recognition also verifies our successful commitment to providing effective and innovative education solutions for families with children of all ages."
As unique and different as online public schools may seem, the only true differences lie in the logistical execution of the school programs. The heart and success of online schools depend upon the engagement level of students, parents, teachers and school leaders. And this, of course, is no different than what drives student success in brick and mortar schools.
Although we may not see each other at local football games, our online schools do create and nurture a virtual community where we are all working toward the shared goal of helping provide choices for our students for their futures. The ultimate goal of education, irrespective of the mode of delivery, is to provide students with a quality education that enables them to choose to pursue any future they would like. We know that reaching this goal requires more than just teachers assigning homework, more than students doing the homework, and more than parents making sure their students "attend" school. It requires that the school experience transcend the textbook and curriculum to engage teachers, students, families and leaders in a vivid learning community where students feel safe to be themselves and motivated to achieve even more than they had thought possible.
The foundational aspects of a school are a quality curriculum, a logical sequence of courses with an achievable scope of content, solid delivery mechanisms for curriculum content and consistent communication avenues for creating and maintaining the partnership that must exist between home and school.
But these are only the beginning of creating an exceptional school experience.
Tennessee Virtual Academy Educators Tout Academic Gains at Nashville Virtual Schools Conference
(Press Release)
Educators from Tennessee Virtual Academy (TNVA), a nonprofit online public school program ofUnion County Public Schools, joined together with other virtual school leaders at a two-day virtual learning conference sponsored by Metro Nashville Virtual School in a show of support for all the state's online public schools.
Examining Costs and Funding of Online Schools
Reports that the consensus from industry experts is that the average cost to operate a full-time, full-service online public school is approximately $6,400 per student (compared to over $10,000 for a traditional school). And, in general, online public schools receive about 30-40% less in total funding (state, local, and federal funds) than traditional schools.
Tennessee legislator wants to close online charter school
(Tennessee Watchdog)
Lily is a student at the Tennessee Virtual Academy, a charter school that her mother Christy says is far more accommodating to her needs than any traditional brick-and-mortar public school. Lily excels at math and extracurricular activities and is already ahead of many students her age.
Why Online Education?
(Learning Liftoff)
When your family decides to use online education as opposed to the traditional brick-and-mortar setting, it's for a reason. Unfortunately, that reason may be unknown to the majority, and oftentimes a stigma is attached to those who choose online education as "weird" or "unsociable." We want to help erase those stigmas, and rewrite the labels by publicizing the many different reasons families choose to use K12 and online education.
We are in the middle of the legislative season, which every year means policymakers in a few states ask about the costs and funding of full-time online public schools. This is an issue that has come up since multi-district online schools first emerged nearly 15 years ago.
The consensus from industry experts is that the average cost to operate a full-time, full-service online public school is approximately $6,400 per student (compared to over $10,000 for a traditional school). And, in general, online public schools receive about 30-40% less in total funding (state, local, and federal funds) than traditional schools.
Every online school is different. Just like with traditional schools, operating costs for online schools will vary based on many factors, including grades served, student population, number of students, academic program offerings, and other reasons. With traditional brick and mortar schools, for example, the cost to operate a high school is much higher than an elementary school, and schools that offer more academic programs and services will generally cost more. Therefore, when looking at cost comparisons, it's important to match apples to apples.
Below is compilation of reports and studies from industry experts that have examined the costs of online schools.
BERG: Pitts is wrong about Virtual Academy
(The Leaf Chronicle)
As the mother of a child who attends the Tennessee Virtual Academy, I take strong offense to Rep. Joe Pitts' recent column ("Virtual Academy gets failing grades," Page A5, Feb. 18). Pitts says TNVA is underperforming and needs to be closed. Yet, he fails to mention that TNVA is now one of the fastest-improving schools in the state. He also fails to mention there are more than 100 other schools in the state that are not improving as rapidly, with test scores very similar to TNVA – including Montgomery Central Middle School in his home county – that are not subject to closure.
Measuring Individual Student Progress Toward Graduation – Not a Four Year Cohort Rate
In 2010 federal regulations went into effect that requires each state to implement a four-year cohort model as the means for calculating graduation rates. This regulation gives every student four years to graduate from the time a student enters ninth grade. Students may transfer from school to school during the four years, but the student must graduate in the fourth year. States are permitted to track a five-year graduation rate, but it can only be done alongside the four-year rate.
Fuel Education Releases Guide to Scaling Personalized Learning
(Press Release)
Personalized learning solutions provider, Fuel Education™, in association with education advocacy firm, Getting Smart®, today released a white paper exploring how schools and districts are not only implementing online and blended learning programs to address students' individual needs, but also successfully scaling the personalized learning experience delivered through those programs.
The Impact of Under-Credited Students and Mobility in Fulltime Online Schools
In 2010 federal regulations went into effect that require each state to implement a four-year cohort model as the means for calculating graduation rates. This regulation gives every student four years to graduate from the time a student enters ninth grade. Students may transfer from school to school during the four years, but the student must graduate in the fourth year. States are permitted to track a five-year graduation rate, but it can only be done alongside the four-year rate.
This regulation had the goal of creating an expectation that every student can earn a high school diploma, and that graduation rates need to be tracked to show which schools are successfully graduating students in four years. The regulation assumed that students, generally, stay in the same school for four years and that states have systems to efficiently track students as they progress toward graduation.
While perhaps true in some economically advantaged communities, both of these assumptions are fundamentally flawed for far too many of our public schools. Instead, the regulation has created a "hot potato" effect that creates a perverse disincentive for enrolling under-credited students for fear of a negative impact on graduation rate.
States do have some flexibility. States may choose how to weigh graduation rates within their accountability structures. States may elect to include additional calculations, such as six- or seven-year rates. They may also reward methods of getting under-credited students back on track, or accelerating the pace at which a student moves toward graduation. These measurements may more accurately reflect what a school does with high school students more than a four-year cohort model. Data shows that many students who are mobile within high schools are often economically disadvantaged, under-credited, over-aged, and academically at-risk. A related report by the Evergreen Foundation (Accountability in the Digital Age, February 2015) looked at enrollment data for 24 fulltime online schools. In these schools, the report that found on average 35 percent of students who entered the schools in grade 10, 11 and 12 are not on track for graduation based on the four-year cohort rate.
Weekly Roundup is an effort to share more stories and information about the students and schools we serve, K12 educators, and important education issues.
A Chattanooga Mom's Plea to Keep Online Schools Open(The Chattanoogan)
As a busy mom, it's not often I make my way to our state Capitol to visit with my elected officials. But, last week, I had the chance to do just that as I took part in the Tennessee chapter of Public School Option's 4th Annual Capitol Day. Joined by hundreds of families from all across the state, including many from here in the Chattanooga area, we traveled to Nashville to make our voices heard. As parents, we believe that we know the best when it comes to deciding the best possible type of education for our children.

An important new report on online learning and accountability was released last week by Keeping Pace with K-12 Online Learning. Titled, School Accountability in the Digital Age, the report was written and researched by John Watson and Larry Pape with Evergreen Education Group – nationally recognized experts in the field of online learning.

LEOPOLD—Perry Central is still the favorite to win the PLAC girls track meet this year, but it could be much closer than usual.

"We're not playing terrible, but we're not hitting the ball as well as we need to be," said Perry Central Coach Gary Hanan. "If we can put the ball in play more, that would help.
"It's all about coming up with the big hit and if we can make the big play.
WHITESVILLE, Ky.—Whitesville Trinity rallied for two runs with two outs in the bottom of the last inning to beat Cannelton 4-3 and complete a sweep of a baseball doubleheader Monday.
Trinity shut out Cannelton 5-0 on one hit in the first game.
Each game was scheduled for five innings, and Cannelton led 3-2 in the second game with two outs in the bottom of the fifth and no Trinity runners on base.
Trinity then beat out an infield hit on a slow dribbler down the third-base line.
A walk, a passed ball, and a two-run single to left field followed.

ITEM#: 10327221The film represents Henry Fonda's return to the screen after an absence of seven years, part of which was spent playing the eponymous officer in the immensely successful stage version of Thomas Heggen's novel. As cargo officer and second in command on a supply ship during World War II, the easygoing Lt. Doug Roberts is excluded from a much desired combat role while playing whipping boy to dyspeptic tyrant Captain Morion (James Cagney). Ensign Frank Pulver (Jack Lemmon), a brash yet cowardly wheeler-dealer, entertains Roberts with his elaborate pranks while the fatherly Doc (William Powell in his last screen appearance) offers advice. The young crew tries every available means of killing boredom, including eyeballing the nurses on a nearby island through a telescope, and Roberts does what he can to get them the R and R they badly need. The film had a troubled production history, mostly because of conflicts between Fonda, a friend of author Thomas Heggen's, and Ford, who wished to make changes that Fonda disliked. Shortly after physically attacking Fonda, Ford suffered a ruptured gallbladder and was replaced by Mervyn LeRoy. Fonda is excellent, and Lemmon gives an inspired, Oscar-winning performance in a film that flows evenly from the comic to the tragic and stands among the best World War II films produced in the 1950s.

Enjoyed it!
This movie is a classic and appropriate for all ages. It is funny, and poignant. A good, light entertaining movie for the family.Read More
Mr. Roberts
This movie was made in the late 1950's, early 1960's, it's a very good movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone. The movie is family friendly, so the whole family can watch it. There are no cuss words, which is really nice compared to the movies of today, where that is all you hear is cuss words. There isn't any blood and guts either, it's still a war movie, even though Mr. Roberts is told by men who worked the supply ships in the Pacific during the war. The supply ships didn't really see that much action, they were away from the fighting. Please get this movie, watch it and own it.Read More
Mr. Roberts
This is one (1) side of WWII. Should be "family rated", with Great stars and good story.Read More

Art Exhibit Giving Unique Teen Perspective Travels to Milwaukee During Alcohol Awareness Month
Rosecrance, a not-for-profit organization and leading national provider of substance abuse treatment for teens, adults and families, launched �In My Shoes,� an art exhibit created to help parents understand teenagers� points of view about the pressures they face and how they are confronted with the potential to use and abuse substances. Following tour stops in the Chicagoland area, the exhibit is now making its way to the Milwaukee Public Library�s Central Library. The �In My Shoes� exhibit will open to the public on April 1, 2015 at the Central Library at 814 W. Wisconsin Ave., where it will be on display in the Schoenleber Reading Room until April 26. The exhibit�s April stop coincides with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence�s Alcohol Awareness Month, whose 2015 theme is �Early Education on Alcoholism and Addiction.� �In My Shoes� serves as a starting point for discussion about taking the important steps to prevent any level of substance use among teens once parents learn more about what it�s like to walk in a teen�s shoes. About �In My Shoes� Developed by teen patients at Rosecrance�s adolescent campus in Rockford, �In My Shoes� displays shoes that have been painted and decorated by teens to tell their stories about substance use. From shoe selection to showcase, the process of creating shoe art is a meaningful experience because each shoe is unique and tells a teen�s story about addiction, recovery, and most importantly, their hopes and dreams for the future. Visit rosecrance.org/inmyshoes for more information. A parent�s guide for talking to teenagers about marijuana called �Teens and Weed: Still a Big Deal� is available at rosecrance.org/teens-weed.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Re: U.S. Patent Office cancels multiple Redskins trademarks
Every race/people tries to play the 'we're not so bad' card and, except for maybe Sweden and Switzerland, it's total crap.
Practically every race/people/country has committed heinous acts against another. History is mostly accounts of grisly murder or expansion through force.
There is no monopoly on shame.

Re: U.S. Patent Office cancels multiple Redskins trademarks
Well I suppose this was inevitable
Va. legislators want to create a Redskins Pride Caucus
For Del. David Ramadan, the Washington Redskins name is a source of pride that shouldnt be messed with.
Ramadan (R-Loudon), a fan since the mid-1980s, said he plans to form a Redskins Pride Caucus with Del. Jackson Miller (R-Manassas), Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax City) and other Virginia legislators to represent fans of the professional football team.
Last week, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the football teams registration. According to a 99-page decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the teams name and logo are disparaging.
Opponents of the teams name view it as a racial slur against Native Americans.
Ramadan said the caucus plans to provide a voice for fans and season ticket holders, as well as support for the team franchise. He argues that the team is a Virginia-based business that generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
The caucus opposes the involvement of the U.S. Congress. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and 49 other members of Congress sent a letter last month to the National Football League urging the league to change the Redskins name. Ramadan said the letter-writing members should go work on other issues and leave our Virginia businesses alone.
The caucus also supports commercial freedom in the commonwealth and the rights of businesses to their brands and intellectual property, according to a release.
Ramadan, in a phone interview as he drove to Richmond, where the caucus will convene at 3:30 p.m. Monday, said hes heard from hundreds of constituents in the past few weeks.
Wherever I go, it has been a constant topic that comes up, he said. People ask me, What can be done? This is our team, and as representatives of the people of Virginia, we are standing up for our citizens.
As he hung up the phone, Ramadan paused and said, Go Redskins.

Re: U.S. Patent Office cancels multiple Redskins trademarks
Sorry if it has been posted before.
Have the people spoken?
I guess this is where I'm supposed to fall in line and do what every other American sports writer is doing. I'm supposed to swear I won't ever write the words "Washington Redskins" anymore because it's racist and offensive and a slap in the face to all Native Americans who ever lived. Maybe it is.
I just don't quite know how to tell my father-in-law, a Blackfeet Indian. He owns a steak restaurant on the reservation near Browning, Mont. He has a hard time seeing the slap-in-the-face part.
"The whole issue is so silly to me," says Bob Burns, my wife's father and a bundle holder in the Blackfeet tribe. "The name just doesn't bother me much. It's an issue that shouldn't be an issue, not with all the problems we've got in this country."
And I definitely don't know how I'll tell the athletes at Wellpinit (Wash.) High School -- where the student body is 91.2 percent Native American -- that the "Redskins" name they wear proudly across their chests is insulting them. Because they have no idea.
"I've talked to our students, our parents and our community about this and nobody finds any offense at all in it," says Tim Ames, the superintendent of Wellpinit schools. "'Redskins' is not an insult to our kids. 'Wagon burners' is an insult. 'Prairie n-----s' is an insult. Those are very upsetting to our kids. But 'Redskins' is an honorable name we wear with pride. … In fact, I'd like to see somebody come up here and try to change it."
Boy, you try to help some people …
And it's not going to be easy telling the Kingston (Okla.) High School (57.7 percent Native American) Redskins that the name they've worn on their uniforms for 104 years has been a joke on them this whole time. Because they wear it with honor.
"We have two great tribes here," says Kingston assistant school superintendent Ron Whipkey, "the Chicasaw and the Choctaw. And not one member of those tribes has ever come to me or our school with a complaint. It is a prideful thing to them."
"It's a name that honors the people," says Kingston English teacher Brett Hayes, who is Choctaw. "The word 'Oklahoma' itself is Choctaw for 'red people.' The students here don't want it changed. To them, it seems like it's just people who have no connection with the Native American culture, people out there trying to draw attention to themselves.
"My kids are really afraid we're going to lose the Redskin name. They say to me, 'They're not going to take it from us, are they, Dad?'"
Too late. White America has spoken. You aren't offended, so we'll be offended for you.
Same story with the Red Mesa (Ariz.) High School Redskins. They wear the name with fierce pride. They absolutely don't see it as an insult. But what do they know? The student body is only 99.3 percent Native American.
And even though an Annenberg Public Policy Center poll found that 90 percent of Native Americans were not offended by the Redskins name, and even though linguists say the "redskins" word was first used by Native Americans themselves, and even though nobody on the Blackfeet side of my wife's family has ever had someone insult them with the word "redskin," it doesn't matter. There's no stopping a wave of PC-ness when it gets rolling.
I mean, when media stars like USA Today's Christine Brennan, a white woman from Ohio, and Peter King, a white man from Massachusetts, have jumped on a people's cause, there's no going back.
Besides, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last week that if "even one person is offended" on this issue, we need to "listen."
One person?
Got it. Guess we need to listen to people who are offended by the Kansas City Chiefs' name, too. That's one that offends my father-in-law. "You see some little guy wearing a headdress made of chicken feathers," he says, "painting his face up, making a mockery of us. I hate that. Those are things you earn."
One person? I know an atheist who is offended by religious names like the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. There are people who who don't think Ole Miss should be the Rebels. People who lost family to Hurricanes. There are people who think Wizards promotes paganism. Shall we listen to all of them?
I guess so.
Edmundo Macedo, vice president of ESPN's Stats & Information group, told ESPN ombudsman Robert Lipsyte that the term Redskins is abhorrent. "We would not accept anything similar as a team nickname if it were associated with any other ethnicity or any other race," Macedo said.
Oh, yes, we would.
In fact, ESPN and many other media companies cover the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves without a single searing search of their social conscience.
Doesn't matter. The 81-year-old Washington Redskins name is falling, and everybody better get out of the way. For the majority of Native Americans who don't care, we'll care for them. For the Native Americans who haven't asked for help, we're glad to give it to them.
Trust us. We know what's best. We'll take this away for your own good, and put up barriers that protect you from ever being harmed again.
Kind of like a reservation.
Interesting prespective.

Re: U.S. Patent Office cancels multiple Redskins trademarks
But the column to which you linked created some issues other than those raised by its author
My son-in-law, ESPN's Rick Reilly, completely misunderstood the conversation we had, quoting me as saying "the whole issue is so silly. The name just doesn't bother me much. It's an issue that shouldn't be an issue, not with all the problems we've got in this country."
But that's not what I said.
What I actually said is that "it's silly in this day and age that this should even be a battle — if the name offends someone, change it."
And no surprise Rush blames this on Obama - PolitiFact calls bulls**t on El Rushbo
Rush Limbaugh reaches with claim that Obama canceled Washington Redskins' name
Limbaugh said, the decision to cancel the trademark of the Washington Redskins "is not the Patent and Trademark Office. This is Barack Obama."
Limbaugh, for whom a spokesman could not be reached, does not prove that Obama usurped the administrative law judges' hands in canceling the trademark. The court issued the same decision in 1999. This time, the two judges who found the trademarks disparaging were appointed in the Bush years. The judges do not serve at the pleasure of the president and have to be fired for cause.
We rate Limbaugh's claim False.

Using red pepper for voles and coffee for snails.
I am new to shade/woodland gardening. I have less than a 1/4 acre with over 50 mature mountain laurel and almost 100 trees. Needless to say, I don't have one blade of grass.
So, I'm also new to dealing with voles(not moles) and snails(not slugs).
Although I have a feral cat, the neighbors feed him so he's not interested in eating my voles.
-I have coated roots and bulbs of everything I have planted thus far with red pepper in hopes that it will deter them.
-I did run across a recipe but it confuses me. They suggest taking sliced cork, soaking it in bacon grease and oil of anise then tossing the cork into their ground holes. Ingesting cork kills them. Since voles are vegetarians only,I'm suspicious of why they would be attracted to bacon grease. Instead, I'm going to try soaking the cork slices in peanut butter, which is a tried and true bait.
-I'm not going to use traps and I don't want to use common mouse traps baited with peanut butter for fear of the birds or squirrels will get hurt.
My to my chagrin, I have discovered that I have a small variety of snails that love to infest my potted plants by the dozens. Since it's my first season for this new environment, I will assume the snails don't care if their in a pot or in the ground.
Keeping in mind that I am planting many gardens in place of grass and having paths in between, watering in itself will be a challenge much less spraying each plant with ammonia, so that's not an option for me.
I've read enough pro caffeine/coffee grounds victories to give this a try.
Questions about caffeine.
Do people suggest using fresh ground coffee instead of used coffee grounds because research has indicated a 2% solutuion of caffeine is effected and used coffee only has .5% caffeine?
Should I add coffee grounds to my soil mix or make a circular barrier with grounds around the plant?
Is there any concern about the long term affects of caffeine leaching into your soil?
I am thankful for any comments, advice or methods you have tried.
Basically slugs are snails without shells. I started using escar-go 2 years ago as I had a horrendous slug problem. It is safe for you and your pets--its only iron--but it stops slugs from eating and might work with your snails.
I swear by it.
Good luck
As you develop your organic garden you provide the right environment for slugs, cool, moist dark areas for them to live and grow in. To protect the plants these slugs seem to like the best, until the toad population grows enough to control them, spray the plants with cold, caffienated coffee, the same stuff people drink only allowed to cool.
Red pepper sprinkled around plants, if it is the really hot stuff, may aid in controlling the voles, but most often putting some sharp stone around the planting areas helps the best for voles.
I believe that it's the liquid coffee sprayed on the plants that deters snails and slugs - the coffee grounds don't do much. If you apply them very heavily, you tend to get mold. Use the coffee grounds as a light sprinkling around acid-loving plants, or add them to your compost pile - earthworms like them. The caffeine, either in your compost or sprayed on the plants, won't be enough to make a difference.
I know that spraying oil of peppermint mixed with water around a room, almost daily, will deter mice from making their home there. You could try using either the oil or fresh or dried mint leaves, scattered around the plants you want to protect, or tossed down holes. Other essential oils might be a deterrent also.
If you could persuade one to move in, a nice big blacksnake would thin the vole population. I am just glad I only have meadow voles, which can do a sufficient amount of damage, but .... My cats and dog seem to keep them under control.
All pepermint oil did for me was to give my mice fresh breath.
Coffee grounds were a great fertilizer.
If you have voles, you have moles, because voles use mole holes/trails to get around. They don't dig their own -- much.
You might try that copper stripping around the edges of your pots. It's rather expensive for larger gardening areas, but they say this actually does keep snails from traversing the coppered area. I don't know about the electrocution thing, but I enjoy the thought.
Plant your bulbs and plants with crushed oyster shells. They're sharp, degrade slowly, and add calcium to the soil
I envy your trees. :)

The Bryan Cave law firm makes a tidy keep from its work representing the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City.
From fiscal years 2010 to '13, the firm's lawyers (primarily partners Wesley Fields and Stephen Sparks) have billed $3.758 million to the agency that administers the often-used TIF development incentive. Those billings range from a low of $636,530 in 2010 to a high of $1.2 million in 2011. And those price tags have some TIF commissioners wondering if the agency should hire its own lawyer to reduce how much it spends on legal fees.
The TIF Commission vets requests for new TIF projects and changes to existing ones. It sends a recommendation to the Kansas City, Missouri, City Council for approval. The commission is under the Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, a quasi-governmental agency that receives its funding partially from City Hall but also from a portion of revenues from the TIF projects that it endorses.
A TIF district is often used to spur development as it takes increases in property and economic activity (sales, utility and earnings) taxes that would otherwise go to local government and instead helps defray project costs. It's revered by Kansas City's politicians, bureaucrats and business interests as a means to replace the city's deteriorating land plots with gleaming new office buildings and shopping districts.
The concept plays less well among neighborhoods and other political subdivisions like library and school districts, all of which want to see tax money spent for basic services as well as for their own coffers, only to see that money siphoned off by development projects in parts of town where their need is dubious.
But the TIF Commission's spending isn't the only rub that commissioners from non-city taxing jurisdictions like Jackson County and the Kansas City Public Library have with their legal representation. In recent months, they've raised questions about their lawyers' actions and positions on a strange TIF plan known as the Southtown TIF.
Southtown is a sprawling TIF plan that stretches from just south of Union Station up along Main Street, stops before the Plaza, then leapfrogs several other TIF plans before resuming along 63rd Street. Southtown is such a big TIF that it's actually a collection of various projects within the same plan.
One of these was the Citadel Plaza, once considered a site for a grocery store - anchored development at 63rd and Prospect that devolved into an asbestos-laden strip of barren land, thanks to incompetent developers.
Another is known as Project I, which is where the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City moved from downtown to near Liberty Memorial. The Fed didn't want TIF to grease the skids for its new building, but a district was approved anyway. The TIF Commission issued $11 million in bonds in 2007 to finance $9.6 million in construction for those projects.
TIF revenues from Project I didn't go toward paying for the construction of the new building, but rather improvements and upgrades to infrastructure along Main Street and Penn Valley Park.
The way bonds work is, they're sold to investors so a project can have money up front to start construction, then those investors are paid back (plus interest) over time with TIF revenues. Bond issuances make sense for big projects - such as when the city issued $295 million in bonds for Kansas City Power & Light District - but not for relatively small projects like sprucing up Penn Valley Park. For one reason, there's a big cost associated with issuing bonds.
In the case of the TIF district around the Federal Reserve, the cost to issue the $11 million in bonds was about $4.3 million of tax money. Bryan Cave's lawyers, in addition to representing the TIF Commission on the transaction, also served as counsel to the bond underwriter, which seemed to put them on both sides of the transaction.
In addition, Wesley Fields, the Bryan Cave lawyer representing the TIF Commission, is a trustee for Research Medical Hospital, which is owned by HCA, the developer of the Southtown TIF. Fields has said that his work as a Research trustee doesn't involve legal advice, so there isn't a conflict of interest.
TIF Commissioners representing the taxing jurisdictions have made it clear in commission meetings for almost a year that they had misgivings about how bonds for Project I were issued and managed. On July 10, they scored something of a victory, when the majority of the commission agreed to start defeasing (finance-speak for early termination) that $11 million in bonds, which would return the money to bondholders.

Because photography is my passion, I am willing to shoot anything that is new, interesting, quirky, or pushes the envelope-- pretty pictures are all well and good, but I'm looking to tell a story. And I'm always open to shoot your ideas too! I take photography very seriously but like to have fun and goof around on shoots and I like working with people who have a good sense of humor.
Right now I do limited TFP/TFCD work. Whether or not I charge for my services depends solely on the project.
So hit me up, let's make some art together!

Urbana commercial real estate for lease, rent,, and leased investments.
Find Urbana industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Urbana shops. Locate a Urbana warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Securing the perfect Urbana commercial unit is obviously the goal, but sometimes thats not always feasible due to time and other restraints. Expectations are often reset after discovering that what you prefer an ideal world, just isnt attainable. While negotiating the lease document and completing your due-diligence, you will also likely organize the series of events to enable you to relocate to the new location on time. Using both your broker and attorney to help decide what is the correct dollar amount for the lease is a common approach.

Leesman struggles, White Sox lose to Tigers 8-6
Leesman struggles, White Sox lose to Tigers 8-6
DETROIT — What was supposed to be a matchup of AL Central aces instead turned into a rough night for the Chicago White Sox.
Charlie Leesman, starting in place of an injured Chris Sale, allowed six runs in less than three innings, and the White Sox went on to lose 8-6 to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Justin Verlander pitched seven solid innings for Detroit.
Sale was supposed to face Verlander, but the left-hander went on the disabled list before the game with a strained flexor muscle in his throwing arm.

Occupy Wall Street has a day of action in NY, NY, on March 17, 2012. In the evening, about 300 protesters set up a tarp as a tent, used orange netting and set up other prop tents as an action. Police responded by clearing Zuccotti of protesters resulting in many arrests. Later, Protesters march through lower Manhattan where there were several other arrests. Michael Moore came to the park briefly after speaking at the Left Forum at Pace University.
PaulSteinJC and BeneVerba added this photo to their favorites.
Thank you Michael Moore. We need all the help we can get to fight out own corrupt government. Our government is a sham, a lie and it is in a war against reason! Americans soon wake up to truth that we must dump the present corrupt system in favor of a system that can speak the truth and know the truth, instead of spreading lies to benefit the 1 %. the wealthy are killing us! HELP!!!
The people united will never be defeated !!
If our government is so corrupt, and evil.....Then I ask you this simple question. Why do we want MORE government programs? What does this say about the theory that government is corrupt? LEt's say how corrupt our government programs are and then open MORE avenues for more corruption.

Shortly after the announcement of the first release of the WebRTC extension for the UV4L Streaming Server, here's another update! As promised, Audio from an input device (i.e. microphone) can now be optionally added to the live stream!
A pure HTML5 test page is here.
At the moment audio must be enabled via a command line option passed to the Streaming Server plug-in (see the documentation).
Video & Audio streams have been successfully tested on Chrome, Opera and Android. For some reasons, when audio is enabled, Firefox does not display the Video stream. The problem is under investigation, but if you know the reason, please give some hints.
Have fun!
Yes, it's true! The native WebRTC extension for the UV4L Streaming Server is now ready!
At the moment, this extension is available for Raspberry Pi 2 only. Packages for x86 will be provided soon. The Raspberry Pi 1 will not be supported. Again, do NOT install the WebRTC extension on the Rasperry Pi 1.
To know how to install UV4L and the WebRTC extension please refer to the appropriate documentation section. Here are the instructions for Raspbian.
Support for audio is work-in-progress. Among the nice things which are now possible there are NAT traversal, VP8 encoding, efficient adaptive streaming, echo cancellation, encryption, very short delays, etc...
Once installed, to quickly try it, go to the Streaming Server page, navigate to the WebRTC Page and press "Start" to get a live stream. You can take the source of that HTML5 page and modify/use it as you prefer.
Tested on recent versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Android. Safari does not seem to support WebRTC (deliberately).
A first screenshot (~200ms delay example) is here.
Have fun!
New, improved releases of the raspicam driver and streaming server are out.
New features include:
- support for multiple clients in the Streaming Server
- new --intra-refresh-mode H264 option
Please check the appropriate material under the Documentation section for manuals or informations on how to install the software.
These are the features on which there is some work-in-progress at the moment:
- Support for multiple (simultaneous) clients in the Streaming Server
- Record while streaming option
- HLS (MPEG-TS) in the Streaming Server
Stay tuned!
A new release of the raspicam driver is out. It fixes one bug about JPEG Still Captures resulting in unexpected resolutions. Please upgrade.
