We've Been Shot: The Double Whammie
It's a crazy-but-we-wouldn't-have-it-any-other-way day here at Casa Petersik. We actually have a photography crew from BHG here (!) to shoot our newly transformed nursery and our recently renovated bathroom for two different publications: Kitchen + Bath Makeovers and Do It Yourself magazine. Fun, right? We're all geeked out about it.
We're super excited to watch the stylists work their propping magic (how do they make bottles of soap look so good?) and we actually know the photographer Erik Johnson since he shot the rest of our house a while back for a three-issue article in Do It Yourself (see them here, here, and here). In fact here we are with Erik and the crew from that shoot of yore. Note to self: so THAT'S what my thighs look like- I haven't seen them in months. Although they might not quite look like that anymore…
And speaking of the baby bump, my mantra of the day is "don't go into labor yet, don't go into labor yet." Of course with over two weeks til my due date there's no reason that I would (in fact we're betting I'll be late), but you know how you have some deadline in your brain that you just have to get past because of something important that you committed to? Well, this is it.
Plus I don't want to miss a moment of photo shoot magic. Look, in magazine world even dogs need to sign releases:
And fresh flowers are par for the course- even when the rooms to be captured are a bathroom and a nursery:
It's always fun to see how they tweak our rooms to give them a bit of glossy I'm-ready-for-my-close-up attitude. In fact, check out this old post full of behind the scenes tricks from our last Do It Yourself shoot and this writeup full of dirty details from our big photo shoot with The Nest magazine last year. And we promise to share some more backstage secrets about this adventure when we can. Until then the name of the game is keeping my belly out of the shot. And when you have a 43″ circumference that's actually quite a feat…
But enough about the goings on here. What's up in your neck of the woods? Anyone have any fun Friday plans or big weekend projects on the agenda?

That is so exciting! I can't wait to see your rooms in print!! What a cool thing for the beanette's baby book!
Ahhh.. so this explains the "we're having company over tomorrow" post on facebook last night. Congrats you two… can't wait to see th articles!
Hi you two – how exciting! Both of those rooms deserve to be in magazines for sure! I was cracking up that Burger has to sign a release, lol. I can't wait to see how they "gussied" up your rooms. Any idea on when these will be in the magazines?
Sherry – I have to ask, did you have any cravings with your pregnancy? I am always curious about this, I craved lobster for some strange reason.
Have a great weekend – and hugs to Burger!
I wonder how they will stage rooms that are already staged perfectly?? We are planning on finally finishing my painted vanity table project (just the drawers left)…then we are going to start building our raised vegetable garden…can't wait for the yummy crop!!
Can't wait to check it out. Now, must go in search of a Do it Yourself subscription…
Funny. I have been clicking refresh for the last 30 minutes…waiting for your update today.
I was going to give you till 10:30 central time before I assumed you went into labor! haha.
Busy day for your household, even though its not delivery day!!
Congrats, you two! You deserve it with all of your hard work and the inspiration you provide to us all. I have to ask – since you've already pretty much re-done all of the rooms in your home, are you thinking of making any major changes to any of them again soon, or are you going to sit back and enjoy it for awhile?
I'm sure you'll always have the fun smaller projects, but I'm curious if you two will ever be "done" with the major renovations, or if it will be cyclical. Seems like you might always have new ideas you want to try. ;)
That is wonderful. I've been green with envy since you posted your Craigslist dresser makeover for the nursery. The way in which you approached the entire project, was essentially an economics class. Now even more folk will see how much can be accomplished on a tight budget.
p.s. Pretty sure I'm going to have to buy some flowers today. Living in Colorado, I have to wait quite some time before I can start cutting from my own garden; and I got giddy just looking at that picture.
S and J,
Congrats on another job well-done. I just wanted to let you know that today my entire class looked at your blog. I teach in upstate NY and my students are starting their own sites so I wanted to show them an example of a site that I follow on the regular. They all grabbed a laptop and logged in to see all your site had to offer. So, after your done being all "geeked out" about being featured in popular mags, you can be geeked out that 20 high school students loved your site too! Again, congrats!
Congratulations you guys! I subscribe to DIY because you and I ? it!
Our big weekend plans are cleaning the heck out of our apartment so our landlord can show it and rent it ASAP. Because we close on our first home in 27 days! It's already been reno-ed but we can't wait to put all the decorating tips and tricks you've taught us to good use in our own new old (1924!) home!
Man, I love me some BHG! How exciting for you! How exciting for me! :D
Congrats, guys! That is awesome. :)
So exciting – can't wait to get my hands on those issues when they hit the stands (as I assume you will let us all know when they do!)
Also – as per your above response, can't wait to hear what room you'll be doing next! Have a fun day!
It's opening weekend of the South of the James Farmer's Market! That's where I'll be.
Congrats Petersiks. Your rooms are definitely magazine worthly.
How exciting! I figured it would be something like a photo shoot when you mentioned how clean your house was last night. :)
You'll have to frame the mag spread of the nursery in the nursery gallery wall! Your little bean will love seeing how her room was published when she gets older!
Nothing as exciting as this! Can't wait to see you in print!
So pumped for you guys! I've read the archives but wasn't a regular reader yet for your other magazine shoots, so I'm excited to experience this one along with you guys!
After Baby P comes you guys are gonna have to find another room to do to get more magazine coverage! Playroom in the converted garage/basement area….?
The VMFA is re-opening this Saturday! Check out their website for a whole day of activities!!
WOOT! that's way exciting!!!!!
Awesome news, guys! Congrats!!!
This is so exciting and can I just tell you, Sherry, that you ASTONISH me? I know no other woman who would A.) have the energy to do all this and B.) be within 100 miles of a camera when they are basically full term. Of course you look totally awesome pregnant (damn you!) so it's just super cute.
Hope it all goes well today.
ok, Sherry you don't even look pregnant in that photo. You are so cute and tiny, even at 9 months pregnant! adorable. I can't wait to see you guys in those magazines! I LOVE do it yourself magazine! congrats you guys!
Ya'll are becoming regular celebrities! Pretty soon, you won't talk to us at all!
Congratulations you two! What a wonderful way to go into your weekend.

Correction: Energy Incentives story
"You don't want to judge all the projects by the one that failed," he said.
An opponent of state investment in startup companies doesn't hesitate to draw conclusions, though.
"I think it is an extremely poor return on investment," said investment adviser Ashby Foote. He's the volunteer president of Bigger Pie Forum, a group promotes free-market policies for economic growth.
Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves say they oppose some aspects of deals signed under the administration of former Gov. Haley Barbour, but add that Mississippi must live up to contractual commitments it made with companies
Bryant said he's "very concerned" about job creation, but said he didn't think the state could renegotiate with companies that it has already signed contracts with.
"I don't think we could start doing that because one of the things you have to have in economic development is the ability to keep your word," he told AP.
However, state officials haven't signed contracts yet with some other firms, including Silicor, which wants to build a silicon plant in Columbus; Virdia, which wants to build biofuels plants; and GreenTech Automotive, which is building electric vehicles in Horn Lake.
The state had a deal to put in as much as $54 million, including a $50 million loan, but only would make half the loan to the San Jose, Calif. company until Twin Creeks itself invested $27 million. It's unclear how much Twin Creeks put in. Bryant told AP earlier that he stopped further aid to the company. Bryant has said he opposes state investments in start-ups and would prefer to deal with established industries.
Reeves noted he pushed a bill in last year's Legislature that would have limited MDA's ability to make loans without legislative approval. He also said he voted "no" on at least some loan requests MDA made while treasurer. However, other members of the state Bond Commission voted 'yes," allowing the loans to go ahead.

Cuando yo primero perfila la labor de ganchillo super único artista Patricia Waller llamé el artista espeluznante ganchillo lindo. That's because she takes these super cute iconic images, como Bambi, and crochets them with these really dark undertones. Ella ha llevado a un nivel completamente nuevo con su más reciente exposición.
Héroes rotos
Waller's current exhibit is at the Deschler Gallery in Berlin. It's called Broken Heroes and it features superheroes from fairy tales and pop culture that have been transformed in strange, dark ways but are still super cute. Por ejemplo, there's Ernie (of Bert and Ernie) except that this Ernie is drunk on a sidewalk. And there's the Sandman, that imaginary man who brings us sleep, except he's lost in his own pill-popping dreamworld.
Primero, the Heroes
So what's this all about? Bueno, the heroes in Patricia Waller's world are media icons that represent the whole idea of the celebrity or pop culture star as the modern day hero. Celebrity is such a core feature of today's society. But with "real people" celebrities, like flesh and blood movie stars, we are fully aware of their flaws. Cartoon celebrities, like Ernie, are one-dimensional characters that can serve as our heroes because they are familiar faces that most of us know and yet we can project certain idealized traits upon them because they aren't real.
Ahora, the Broken Part
It's the utter darkness of what's happening to these cute familiar characters that brings meaning into Patricia Waller's work. Winnie the Pooh might have some problems to overcome as he hunts for honey but none of us expects to see him hanging a society that creates stars and then puts a lot of pressure on them. Así, por ejemplo, she says about her Spiderman piece … "Enmeshed in his own life, there is no way out. The more he tries to disentangle himself, the more he is caught up in it, without hope of redemption." He's a flawed hero.
And the Crochet
Waller chooses crochet because it's a medium she knows and likes. But I think there's also a whole other level of meaning to her work because it's done in crochet. Crochet has always been considered a women's craft and so this medium injects a level of the female role in society as it relates to stardom and heroes. The gender issue is played out by her crocheted subjects … Female Hello Kitty commits suicide by stabbing and Minnie Mouse is raped and left bleeding whereas male Spongebob commits a suicide bombing and Superman slams into a building.
¿Cuáles son tus pensamientos? Can you stomach this intense crochet art?

Quality Inn Central
1632 Central Ave.
Albany, NY 12205
Phone: (518) 456-8811
Fax: (518) 456-0811
Bars & Cafes
»Wolf's 1-11 Restaurant & Games
Wolf's has two locations, one downtown and this one in the suburb of Colonie. This one serves the familiar pub-grub items like burgers, sandwiches, salads and a few entrees, yet the difference between the location downtown is that here you'll find an arcade. The arcade is small, similar to a Chuck-E-Cheese, but most come for the food, drinks and convivial atmosphere. On occasion, there is live music and Wolf's provides its space for banquets and other events.
»Kurver Kreme
Kurver Kreme has been an Albany favorite since 1953 thanks to its loyal customers that return summer after summer for delicious soft serve ice cream and loaded hot dogs. There is an overwhelming menu of Signature Sundaes, thick milkshakes, Boston Shakes, Italian Ice, ice cream floats and great hot dogs with meat sauce. Can't decide? You can bring home a pint or quart, or order an ice cream cake or pie to indulge in later on. Make sure that you come early in the evening to avoid the post-dinner rush, but worry not - the four windows can run through lines in a jiffy. Located near the Colonie Center in the suburb of Colonie.
»Across the Street Pub
Across the Street Pub gets its name from its location, which is opposite the University at Albany. This unpretentious bar and restaurant is frequented by college students and families. On offer are a delicious range of burgers, sandwiches, salads and light fares, which can be accompanied by refreshing beers. But the real must-have here are the buffalo wings, which are always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The place is decked with 14 flat screen televisions, making it an ideal spot to catch a game with like minded fans. On weekdays, post 11p, they offer a special menu of limited dishes for those who would like to indulge in a late-night feast. Call ahead for hours and further information.
»Dorato's Restaurant & Bar
Dorato's Restaurant & Bar is a casual haven in Guilderland, to feast on delicious American cuisine. They offer a nice range of beers on tap, along with a good array of bottled varieties. The food is good and quantity satisfying, these are sure to keep your palate and pocket happy. Dorato's opens its doors for longer hours in comparison to other eateries in the area, making it an ideal late-night binge spot. Call ahead before visiting.
»Dee Dee's Tavern
Dee Dee's Tavern is one of the best local hangouts in the area. The bar has a welcoming feel to it, and you're sure to feel right at home. With a diverse crowd, you'll see people from all walks of life gathering here. They have weekly events like karaoke to keep things fresh. Drinks are reasonably priced, making this a great place for an outing any day of the week.
»Philly Bar and Grill
Enjoy a beer and some of the best cheese steaks in town at Philly Bar and Grill. The atmosphere is laid-back, unless there's a great game on the TVs, in which case you're likely to find a livelier crowd. The back patio is enormous, with plenty of seating and a stage for the live acts that entertain patrons on Saturdays. Delectable cheese steaks, wings, and other bar fare make up the menu.
»Jessica Stone's
Enjoy comfort food, reasonably-priced drinks, and friendly service at Jessica Stone's. Sandwiches, burgers, and quesadillas make up most of the menu. Must-try items include the buffalo wings, grilled chicken sandwich, and super nachos. The inviting atmosphere and lively crowds ensure many returning customers for this bar and restaurant.
»Madison Pourhouse
The Madison Pourhouse is reminiscent of an authentic Irish pub, where the bar has warm lighting, plaid backing on red booths and green walls covered with portraits, deer antlers and other objects from the Isles. The beer list also pays homage to England, Scotland and Ireland with more than 40 cask-conditioned ales and over 100 bottled brews. The owners also follow the light fare menu typical in most Irish/English/Scottish pubs; the kitchen provides snacks and 'toasties' along with a massive choice of artisan beers on tap.
»Junior's Bar & Grill
Junior's is a neighborhood bar and grill that serves simple, unpretentious food and superb drinks. Every night is a theme night, from team trivia to cheap wings, there is something for everyone. On the menu, guests will find everything but the kitchen sink, in fact it will probably take them quite some time to choose what to order. Some items on the menu include sandwiches, burgers, salads, panini and other pub-grub selections.
»Roman Pub
Roman Pub is one of the area's favorite watering holes. They serve beer, liquor, and sometimes have special offerings like jello shots. Pool and darts keep patrons entertained through the night. The bar accepts cash only, so make sure to stop by the ATM on your way there, or use one available onsite.
»The Epicurean Bistro & Wine Bar
French cuisine and an impressive selection of wine come together to form an elegant dining experience at The Epicurean Bistro & Wine Bar. They are open for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The menu includes French dishes like seafood cassoulet, braised rabbit, escargot, and a great cheese selection. Take your time and dine the French way, savoring every bite and every sip at this fine dining establishment.
»JJ Rafferty's
JJ Rafferty's is a friendly local bar that's great to visit any time of the week, but karaoke nights are the most popular. Sing your favorite tunes while enjoying a drink from the full bar. They also have a menu of bar food for you to enjoy.

I'd say pain with friends, cuz, yeah, even heaven would be a horrible place without any friends, and besides, since on Earth every mortal being's got to suffer (you didn't say pain to what degree, btw ;) ) I don't see the harm in suffering a bit more, if I can do it in the name of Christ. And when you've got friends around, the pain kind of lessens.
my vote goes for pain with friends...
the reason Y is that basicly, i live life with pain every now and then, it can't be advoided and well its always great to have friends there to chear u up, to punch ur wounds, to whip u when ur sunburnt bright red oh and did i forget that they always kick u when ur down... yeah great mates, but hey i couldn't live life without them, they care in their own weird misguided ways...
but without friends life would seem so plain, and hey they always there when u need them the most... not always when u want them, but there when it matters the most..
why would I suffer, I will have no pain so no friends.
no friends is pain
I've been at both. I've had no friends and I've had friends. There is pain in both. The pain is easier to take with friends.

In the stack-overflow question here , it was explained that you can remove emails with this code:
$pattern = "/[^@\s]*@[^@\s]*\.[^@\s]*/";
$replacement = "[removed]";
preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
This removes stuff like firstname.lastname@example.com - how do I modify the regular expression so that I remove something like @johnDoe from a chunk of text?
I really don't understand regular expression that well.

Ugh, really wanted to like this product. I have pretty dark undereye circles and this really did nothing for me. I need a thicker concealer and this is very liquid-y and the dispenser is a pain. It is very difficult to determine how much product is coming out of the brush and before you know it you've clicked out too much. This didn't work for me and it was fairly expensive.

Looks quite nice under the eye but doesn't give enough coverage for me, although it doesn't settle into lines which has to be a good thing with concealer.
Don't think it really illuminates or looks airbrushed as the coverage just isn't high enough so all in all, very expensive for a product that is on a par with the drugstore concealers like this.
Nothing special at all although the pinky light toned one is a good colour match for me - something that is quite difficult to find.

First concealer I have used. Its a clicky thingy and the concealer comes out on the brush. It covers my dark circles and brightens my eyes and looks natural which I love!
Not so sure it gives so much of a airbrushed look though!

I wanted to try this after seeing it in Lisa Eldridge's tutorials. To me it's a disappointing product, very expensive for the tiny amount of product you get.
1) it's not drying and it doesn't crease or settle too much into fine lines.
2) The packaging works well and there's no waste of product.
1) I don't find it illuminating at all, at least on my skintone (NC15). I have medium dark circles (sometimes bluish, sometimes more on the reddish side). Instead of brightening my undereye area, it dulls it up with an uneven greyish cast.
2) Blendability: I could blend like there's no tomorrow, with every known shape of brush or fingers: it will never be even on my skin. Too little and it doesn't do anything, too much and you end up with lots of concealer here and your bluish skin there. Nonononono.
3) Price: too steep for too little concealer.

This is a new purchase but it's great so far. I was looking for something more brightening and blendable than my regular Origins concealer for my undereye circles. I use Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash and dot this in the inner eye, all around the bottom of the eye and in dark or capillaried spots like around my nose. It gives a very finished-looking face even with just moisturizer and powder. I was impressed. The only thing I don't like is that it does settle into creases a bit. Otherwise, it's a keeper and so much cheaper than Touche Eclat!

It lightens up the undereye area nicely and makes it look fresher. I'm still looking for a good undereye concealer with more coverage, though. I made an experiment one day wearing this concealer under one eye and MAC's studio finish concealer under the other, and after a few hours both looked the same, the MAC one was very slightly more caked but nothing noticeable. I have dark circles under my eyes and I guess I'd love to find a way to cover them first then brighten up the area. All in all I like it and I'll probably buy it again.

This is a very nice light concealer that does a good job of lightening up the eye area. You're not going to turn to this for heavy coverage, but it's nice for everyday use without caking, and it's very gentle in my sensitive eye area. I don't really care for this kind of packaging -- it's hard to know how many times to click the tube for the right application -- three is usually OK, but sometimes not -- and there's no way to see how much product you have left or, I suspect, to get the last bit out of it. Still, I'd probably buy it again.

If you're looking for a natural glow from a concealer, and like a natural look without any caking under the eye then this is fantastic. I've only given this four starts because I haven't used many concealers in the past. The ones I've used before (mabye 3 including a Loreal one) all caked under the eyes and looked noticeable. This doesn't at all. It subtlety hides dark circles providing a natural glow complimenting a face with natural pretty makeup. I do hope Strawberry Net keeps on stocking it!!

I've been looking for a concealer that will brighten up the dark spots between my tear duct and my nose, and this one is great. It covers my under-eye circles and makes me look less tired, but doesn't get all creased and icky so that the fine lines under my eyes show. The one complaint I have is the packaging; it's sort of hard to tell how many times you need to turn the clicky thing, and a lot of the time I get waaaay too much product on the brush. Still, that might be just a matter of using it more often, since I just bought it a couple of days ago.
I would definitely recommend this for under-eye circles; it didn't work so well for the broken capillaries on my face, but then again, that's not why I bought it.

Like others I saw this on Lisa Eldridge's channel. I need a light concealer and this fits the bill nicely. Doesn't settle in my fine lines but covers adequately. I've liked it better than the dior skinflash (no coverage) and EL doublewear concealer (cakey and settled very badly). I'll be buying this until I find another one I like better. May buy the MUFE concealer pen next.. but I really do like this clinique one for the price!

Whose schools are closing? Is there a pattern?
Take a look at this graphic.

And think about it. What is going on?
"Two roads diverged in a wood," begins one of Robert Frost's most famous poems.
In 2011, Arthur Camins described the fateful choice confronting American education. In 2011, he wrote:
"U.S. education is at a transformational moment. The choices we make will determine whether our schools become collaborative and democratic or prescriptive and authoritarian. The policies proposed by the federal government for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act will create some good schools for some students while hurting many more and will do little to improve teaching or learning."
Now, in 2013, he writes that our leaders are taking us down the wrong road:
"We have traveled much further down the latter road than I imagined even in my most pessimistic moments. Charter schools and school closings, value-added, metrics-based teacher evaluation and pay systems and prescriptive turnaround models have all gained momentum, while so-called reform–minded billionaires have influenced elections and administrative hiring around the nation. Perhaps, most disturbing is that this has proceeded despite persistent credible evidentiary challenges, while scholars from around the world have pointed out that no country has made accelerated improvement by relying on market-based policies."
Two low-performing for-profit Imagine charter schools in Fort Wayne, Indiana, were supposed to close because of their poor academic records. But instead of closing, they are merging with Horizon Christian Academy, where students will be encouraged to apply for vouchers.
Karen Francisco, the editorial page editor of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, says that we now know that school "reform" has nothing to do with accountability as this move enables failing charters to evade any accountability for their performance.
Meanwhile, some public schools in Indiana are closing because of budget cuts.
A reader offered the following comments on the relationship between Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the Broad Foundation:
"There is no way Duncan limited testing when he was in Chicago because it would have impeded the corporate education reform agenda.
Arne Duncan was on the board of the Broad Foundation while he was the leader of Chicago schools. The modus operandi of Broad Foundation is deception. It is the method of implementing the Broad Foundations anti-democratic agenda.
On Page 10 of the 2009/2010 Broad Foundation Annual Report http://tinyurl.com/6w5sps2
it says:
"Prior to becoming U.S. secretary of education, Arne Duncan was CEO of Chicago Public Schools, where he hosted 23 Broad Residents. Duncan now has five Broad Residents and alumni working with him in the U.S. Department of Education."
On Page 35 of the same annual report it says:
"The election of President Barack Obama and his appointment of Arne Duncan, former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, as the U.S. secretary of education, marked the pinnacle of hope for our work in education reform. In many ways, we feel the stars have finally aligned.
With an agenda that echoes our decade of investments—charter schools, performance pay for teachers, accountability, expanded learning time and national standards—the Obama administration is poised to cultivate and bring to fruition the seeds we and other reformers have planted."
A reader (Mom/Speducator) has an idea for President Obama. Instead of going to Mooresville, North Carolina, to talk up the high-tech classroom, she says, how about this:
"Shouldn't he have instead traveled to Chicago to offer support to the thousands of families whose lives will be in upheaval in a matter of months."
Paul Thomas analyzes the latest plan to save the D.C. Public schools, this one prepared by a law firm on behalf of City Councilmember David Catania. Thomas finds that it is just as innovative, perhaps even more innovative, than past innovations. On the other hand, it might be somewhat less innovative than past innovations. But what is clear is that it uses all the same tools, the same carrots and sticks, as past innovations. At least, the Councilman says, he is trying. That's innovative too. Or is it?
Ellen Lubic of UCLA writes in response to an earlier post which asserted that the goal of corporate reform is gentrification, not education reform:
In support of what is being posited here, one only needs to review the landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2005 in the case of Kelo vs. City of New London. It is referred to as the "reverse Robin Hood case where land is taken from the poor and given to the rich."
In this case a privately owned shopping center was taken by eminent domain and then sold by the city to a private corporation for redevelopment. This happened on the theory that the new development would bring more tax funding for the City.
Now this is extended by Chicago school closings, this appropriated property which indeed can be used for ostensible redevelopment…e.g. gentrification of the South Side.
Last night Charlie Rose interviewed Rahm Emanuel and the Mayor stressed his goals with his top priority being public education. He repeatedly spoke of how difficult it is to make change, but that his intention is to stick with it and keep his policy of school reform.
It is all very disheartening. Who can be trusted to work for The People…all The People?
Today, in Los Angeles, the LAUSD School Board is meeting to do budgeting, mainly of the huge new funding brought into the mix by the windfall of Prop. 30 which caused California taxes to be raised. Our Governor promised to focus distribution heavily in favor of inner city schools. The outcry from the suburbs is resounding. And now, Brown wants to spend the money mainly for implementing Common Core.
All over our county teachers and activists are beginning to emulate Chicago's brave teachers, and committees and protest groups are being formed. It is a slow awakening in the second largest school district in the nation where Eli Broad has way too much voice and power…but I am hoping it will lead to a giant protest when our city realizes that we have the greatest amount of school closings in America, happening so quietly, fostered by Villaraigosa and Deasy, and leading to the highest number of charter schools .Putting facts before the public is difficult with so much controlled media and only one major newspaper, the LA Times, which Rupert Murdoch is intent on buying.
I know that Howard Blume reads this blog and I hope he will continue to focus on charter scams and Parent Revolution scams, all funded by the free market billionaires, Eli Broad, Rupert Murdoch, the Walton Family Foundation, etc. with the goal of making public education a free market opportunity.
Those hoping that a Senate rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (now known as No Child Left Behind) would recognize the damage of the past 12 years of federally-mandated high-stakes testing will be disappointed by the Senate Democrats' proposal, says FAIRTEST. The new proposal completely ignores the grassroots rebellion by parents, geachers, students, and local school boards against the punitive misuse of testing.
Here is the FAIRTEST statement:
National Center for Fair & Open Testing
for further information:
Dr. Monty Neill (617) 477-9792
or Bob Schaeffer (239) 395-6773
for immediate release, Tuesday, June 4, 2013
Education legislation unveiled in the U.S. Senate today is "grossly inadequate to undo the damage of the 'No Child Left Behind' (NCLB) test-and-punish era," according to the country's leading assessment reform organization. "Rather than embracing policies that would improve learning and teaching, the bill drafted by Senate Education Committee Chair Tom Harkin (D – Iowa) follows the counterproductive path of the Obama-Duncan administration," explained Dr. Monty Neill, Executive Director of the National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest). "It also ignores the growing grassroots movement against high-stakes standardized exams."
Among the weaknesses in the Senate proposal cited by FairTest:
– This bill maintains NCLB's testing requirements, which have failed to fulfill the law's fundamental promises of higher overall achievement and smaller gaps between racial groups.
– Even more testing will be required because states seeking Title II funds will have to include student test scores in teacher evaluation.
– Focusing sanctions on the lowest-scoring schools will lift the worst punishments from most suburban communities while leaving low-income, minority neighborhoods at continued risk.
"The bill House Republicans are developing is no better," Neill continued. "They may turn sanctions over to the states. But they have no plan for the federal government to provide the support necessary to build stronger schools in low-income communities. They, too, seek to coerce states into judging teachers based on student test scores."
Neill concluded, "Instead of pursuing 'more of the same' failed policies, policy-makers need to listen to their constituents. It is time to replace high-stakes testing schemes with assessment systems that help improve educational quality and equity."
Anthony Cody gets stronger and sharper with every column he writes.
In this post, he explains how the best defense is a good offense.
He shows how critics of NCLB were tricked in 2008, then tricked again by Race to the Top.
It's time to stop collaborating with those who want to destroy public education, he says.
It's time to recognize, he writes, that Common Core is old wine in new bottles. Instead of getting rid of the testing and accountability dragnet, we will be ensnared in it even more deeply.
He writes,
"The Common Core could be called a "High Tech Rehabilitation of High Stakes Tests." The major goal of the project has been to overcome objections to data-driven school reform, by offering standards and tests that are so new and different that we will not mind having our schools driven by them. They are heavily supported by a coalition of corporate entities that stand to make billions from the privatization of education. If we cannot mount a coherent counterproposal, we will be stuck objecting piecemeal to the worst elements of this regime, just as we did with NCLB. This may give us some small victories, but the entire project will remain intact."
What would a good offense look like? The first step, as he puts it, is to "discredit bogus claims and false solutions," as we do here regularly, like the stories about the miracle schools where 100% of the students graduate and go to college (except for those that don't), or the miracle claims for mayoral control (but forget about D.C. and Cleveland), or the phony claims about privatization and inexperienced teachers.
What else? Read his post.
TIME magazine put Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on its cover and praised him as a new kind of "pragmatic" Democrat, the kind that busts unions, ignores parents, and cultivates the approval of the business community. That is certainly a ne kind of Democrat.
For a critique of TIME's fawning coverage, read the article by Peter Hart of FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting).
This is my favorite part of Hart's critique, which shows the blatant bias in the magazine's coverage:
"Time doesn't dwell on criticisms of Emanuel's policies; readers are told that "the Chicago Teachers Union, a power unto itself, loosed its heavy artillery"–which sounds menacing–and that some people "charged that the closures targeted majority-black schools with majority-black faculties."
Could it be that people "charged" that because it was true? As the Chicago Sun-Times reported (3/6/13), "Nine out of 10 of the Chicago Public School students potentially affected by school closings this year are black."

'Bond 24' Officially Titled 'Spectre', Full Cast Announced
After much speculation, the official title and cast of 'Bond 24' was announced earlier this morning in London by director Sam Mendes. New castmembers—joining returning stars Daniel Craig, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes—include Christoph Waltz, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista, Monica Bellucci, and Léa Seydoux. But, why read about this when you can watch it?
'Frozen' Short Film "Frozen Fever" to Debut in Theaters With 'Cinderella'
Guess what, parents? You're going to see Disney's live-action 'Cinderella' remake in theaters. Possibly more than once. Because that is when you, and more importantly the kids in your life, will be able to see the next 'Frozen' adventure—the short film "Frozen Fever"—for the first time.
Next 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Trailer to Be Attached to 'Avengers 2′
The 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer just premiered online last week, but if you're already starved for new footage (and, who could blame you after that teaser), we've got word on when you can see the next 'Star Wars' trailer. The bad news is you're going to have to wait a while. The good news is, you were going to see 'Avengers 2' anyway, so now you have the added bonus of seeing a new 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer before Iron Man and Captain America start punching on some evil robots.
Someone Already Went and Got a 'Star Wars: Episode 7' Tattoo
You think you liked the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer? That's nothing. One 'Star Wars' fan liked what he saw from that 88-second glimpse of 'The Force Awakens' so much, we spent his Thanksgiving weekend getting it tattooed on his body. Now that's dedication.
'Avengers 2' Cast Assembling For Reshoots; Possibly Filming the Post-Credits Scene
'Avengers 2' director is reassembling almost his entire cast for two weeks in January to film reshoots for 'Age of Ultron' and this, in and of itself, is not particularly interesting. It used to be that reshoots were indicative of a larger problem—"the movie isn't working, so we need to go back and fix it"—but that simply isn't the case anymore. Every big-budget blockbuster budgets time and money for reshoots into the original production schedule these days. But, what's interesting in the case of 'Avengers 2' isn't that they're filming something, it's what they're filming and who is involved.
'Jurassic Park 4' Trailer: Welcome to Jurassic World!
"You just went and made a new dinosaur? Probably not a good idea."
And, there's the 'Jurassic Park 4' trailer summed up for you in pretty much one exchange. While the previous 'Jurassic Park' films dealt with the folly of John Hammond's original plans for the park, this new film imagines a world where Jurassic Park is now up and running. The kinks have been worked out. Raptors are trained. But, people are still people and that means they do really stupid things. Like create massive "hybrid" dinosaurs to goose attendance at their park.
Who Will Play Cyclops and Jean Grey in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'?
With every new 'X-Men' movie comes new mutants (no, not the New Mutants) and 'X-Men: Apocalypse' will be no exception. While some may say that the 'X-Men' films are perhaps a little too overstuffed with every mutant they can get their hands on (did we really need Sunspot or Blink?), it's hard to deny to return of Cyclops and Jean Grey; major characters and core mutants who will make their long-awaited appearance in the new era of "young" 'X-Men' films. So, now that we know we'll see these characters, it's time to find out who is going to play them in the movie.
'Peanuts' Trailer: Charlie Brown, Still a Blockhead
As Charlie Brown and Snoopy are perhaps best known for their classic holiday special 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,' it only makes sense that the new 'Peanuts' trailer debuts with a very Christmas-y feel. You have to wait until next Christmas to see the CGI 'Peanuts' movie, but you can get a taste of what it will look and feel like with this new trailer.
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Trailer Description: What Will We See in the First Footage?
The 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' trailer is coming soon. Very soon. This much we know. The footage is edited and, according to reports, composer John Williams recorded the new music for the trailer this weekend. But, what we all want to know, is what the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' trailer will look like. And, now we have a pretty good idea.
Another Extended 'Avengers 2′ Trailer Has Arrived With More New Footage
Thought we were done with new 'Avengers 2' footage, did you? Well, the onslaught continues as today brings us yet another new 'Avengers 2' trailer, this one a slightly extended version of the original trailer with new footage, new dialogue and new Ultrons.

The former resort of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt makes this location a very historical and beautiful site.
A remarkable step back in time walking through the Roosevelt's' fully restored private summer home. The history inside is palpable. Short pleasant drive from Lubec, ME. So, if you brought your passport, go the extra distance and visit this place.
So we drove up the entire coast of Maine and went to Campobello Island and then St Andrews,Canada as well. So - this was a long journey to say the least. We really wanted to check out Campobello....neither of us had either been there. We were so happy we made the trip and I have to say we would both...
Unfortunately the FDR mome was closed for the season but the trip was stll well worth while. The visitor canter has lots of displays including photos of the times that FDR and his family visited. There are also extensive grounds to visit.
There are two videos that give you a good sense of the life and times of the Island...
This is an amazingly restored site that brings the Roosevelt years to life. One look from the porch tells in an instant why the family found this such an irresistible place. The guides are super-knowledgeable and provide invaluable imsights into the house and its famous residents. We went expecting to stay an hour and came out three hours later. For...
We've visited Roosevelt Campobello International Park many times over many years. It is a main attraction in the Downeast area and a place we always show visitors. Finally, at the end of this season, we were able to experience Tea with Eleanor. It's a wonderful opportunity to relax, to enjoy tea and cookies, and to learn about the famous first...

We have been to Campobello Island many times, but never when this amazing park was open...we love this New Brunswick island in the off or early season. This September, however, we traveled here and were fortunate to find it open. What a gorgeous spot...breathtaking colorful flowers...sweeping grass, trees, and florals down to the sea...surrounded by pristine woodlands...all visible from the...
this was a wonderful experience....well cared for beautiful place with wonderful grounds. The Roosevelt "cottage" is well worth a tour with the knowledgeable guides. The film at the beginning is a great help in getting to understand the place and the people who lived there.
Be sure to bring your passports. You go through security to enter into Canada. It is
a lovely park and Roosevelt's cottage is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are
gorgeous and the museum display is very informative. When you enter the cottage
you are met by very knowledgeable docents and they give you lots of information
about the cottage and the...

Once we are on the island will we need our passports to access any of the attractions?

Wainscot kit?
Thinking about doing a wainscot in a newly built entertainment room and saw a few web sites advertizing kits made out of MDF. I'm considering either Wall Panel or Flat Panel and would appreciate it if someone could tell me if they've used this type and how it looks finished. Also since the walls are newly sheetrocked, would i need the flat as opposed to wall panel? Or is flat panel a nicer look? I've perused my local HD and to me it looks cheezy. I'm looking to paint it so i'm not looking for high end.
Thanks in advance.
Just out of curiosity, why would you want a kit? It's unlikely that the room's dimensions are a perfect match for the increments the kit parts come in, so some actual cutting and fitting seems inevitable, at which point it might be cheaper to just buy the necessary moldings and sheet goods separately. If it's going to painted, the skill of the installer probably has a bigger effect on how good it looks than the material does.
Thanks for your reply.
The kit contains 4-24x24 panels, 5 stiles, Upper/Lower Rail, cap, and shoe trim. My take is to lay out the full length and adjust either by trimming one panel or all to make the appropriate fit. An 8ft kit costs b/w 110.00 (wall) and 150.00 (flat) and not sure how this compares to buying separately.
Here's another option that I used.
Put up your chair rail. Then used decorative molding over your sheet rock for the box look. Much cheaper and easier to do. And it looks really good.
Your trim box is determined by the length of each wall. When you have your wall measurements, you can figure out exactly how larger to make each box. The eye will not be able to tell if a box on one wall is a little smaller (one inch) that another wall.
Once you prime the wood and paint it, nobody will know.
Enjoy the journey.

Looking for a TRUE coral (salmon) pink peony
I'm looking for a peony that's truly a coral(salmon)pink; a single petaled variety. I've seen one at our local golf course and it's simply gorgeous, but nameless. I've searched all the peony websites, but I'd rather get verification about the color from someone who actually grows the plant. Thanks much!
Here is a link to Carol Adelmans nursery in Oregon. She only has three corals on her website this year but she normally has more.
Eleanor at www.etflowers.com may have some.
Please be aware of two drawbacks on the corals.
1. They fade to a light cream or soft white
2. The root pieces can regenerate new plants, called adventisious(sp)growth. Therefore if you move them in 3-5 years you may have new coral plants come up in the original space.
A third and this may be only my nose most do not have a nice fragarance. Some to me smell like rehydrated anchovies.
Here is a link that might be useful: Adelmans peonies
Thanks for the warning. Do you know of a good substitute that's less prone to fading? Maybe a pink variety that has some coral/salmon in it. I'm in love with the peony at our golf course so I keep looking for an answer.
Makes me wonder about Coral Sunset. The description at Hollingsworth Peonies says "the color soon passes to a harmonious light beige-yellow as the flower matures. In strong sunlight it will especially display multiple colors on the same plant."
Thanks for any help.
I was there this Saturday and Coral Sunset was the one plant that most were drawn to. The flowers showed a wonderful fading from coral to a lighter beige. They were very upright in full sun. Send an email to Carol Adelman or Don Hollingsworth and ask about other corals/pinks.
Carol normally has more corals than Don but Don has lots of contacts and information.
Summerstar, I have coral charm. It fades to I think more of an apricot/yellow color but now I wish I had kept closer track of it. It does not require staking. The buds are a very beautiful, darker color. It blooms fairly early. The firt year it bloomed it was so beautiful I had to stuff my face into a flower to smell it. Maifleur is right, Oh, it smelled terrible! I don't admire it THAT closely anymore!

SSI RAP is the acronym for: Sustainability and Social Innovation Residential Academic Program
The original name of the program was SEEDS (Social Entrepreneurship for Equitable Development & Sustainability). The focus of the RAP is to provide a fertile academic and social environment – one that is active (and pro-active), engaged around issues of importance that are relevant to our interdependence with each other and all life on earth.
The first-year experience is multifaceted and interdisciplinary. Students from all areas of study will find ways to contribute and benefit. The point is, our interdependence is the key to solving planetary imbalances. Through hard work and deep play, group projects and individual assignments, at speaker events, film screenings, a retreat and frequent social gatherings, the RAP experience here will be rewarding and impactful.
Williams Village North Residence Hall has been referred to as "WV40°N" for its location on Baseline Road at the 40th parallel. Student participants in the SSI RAP live in the largest LEED Platinum residence hall in the U.S., Williams Village North. The beauty, light and amenities of the building make it feel like your home.
Ready to move in? Make your reservation here: https://housing.colorado.edu/housing-assignments/apply/new-students/freshman
The program is unique in that it is really two RAPs in partnership. Program faculty and staff seek a critical engagement of students in the diversity of global challenges, from resource depletion to climate change to poverty and economic instability. Our teaching faculty bring a variety of experience and expertise to the subjects of sustainability & social innovation. The courses offered in the residence hall for RAP students vary each term and always include a choice of core curriculum courses and electives from the College of Arts & Sciences.
There are two cornerstone, unique courses community members take. The emphasis is on collaborative problem-solving and social innovation – through design, debate, planning, project development, writing, and creative enterprise. In small classes of no more than 23 students, and through RAP activities and events (using a state-of-the-art kitchen, computer lab, facilities and grounds at Williams Village and through field trips) students develop a strong knowledge base, entrepreneurial savvy, communications skills, technology literacy, and compassionate understanding. SSI / SbD is one of the few Residential Academic Programs with its own Faculty in Residence and the only one with resident graduate student Teaching Resident Assistants (TRAs) who live in the building and assist with RAP classes. As a result, mentoring, academic staff and informal support are close at hand for all RAP students. Participants will work closely with their peers in the Sustainable by Design (SbD) RAP, also located at Williams Village North. SSI is an empowering, pro-active, skills-based program for students concerned about sustainability and innovation issues who want to participate in developing solutions while earning credits toward their degree.

Show me your wide plank flooring.
It's amazing how different floors can look from a sample to a whole room! Anyone have photos of your wide plank? Many thank yous!!
We're doing site-finished (probably Brazilian Walnut) and considering wider plank. Any thoughts on warping?
Our builder has suggested that all wide plank flooring will warp, has anyone else had feedback on this, or instal suggestions?
My builder said the same thing about warping! But we are going for it anyway... oak wide plank floors handscraped with a dark finish.
I haven't noticed any warping- doesn't mean it's not there, but if it is, it hasn't bothered me at all. In the winter, as the wood shrinks a little, the gaps between the planks get bigger, so be prepared for that. This is probably something only I would notice.
See Chapter 3 of the USDA 'Wood Engineering Handbook.'
Glue is not going to prevent warping and wood movement.
All wood moves with moisture content, and there is no practical way of stopping it.
Wider planks are going to have larger gaps during the winter than narrower planks.
Figure 3-3 is especially good at showing how the shape of wood changes depending on its orientation to the trees growth rings.
And not all wide planks warp in objectionable ways.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wood Handbook, Chapter 3
