Poker Tournament Madness This March, Too
Last-minute buzzer beaters, underdogs pulling off huge upsets, hitting that six-team parlay to make up for the money you blew at the craps table... these are all of the things that make March Madness one of the most exciting times of the year to be in Las Vegas. When you aren't busy hanging out at the sportsbook watching all of the tremendous basketball action, there will be plenty going on in the local poker rooms. Here's a look at some special tournaments series being offered this month:

Check-Out Folio: A New Bar To 'Hop' To And Go 'Nuts' Over, And More
There's a lot of sh*t that happens in Vegas and not all of it can make it on our site. So, every Friday, we take note of some of the smaller announcements around town that may be of interest, too. Here's the rundown for the week of February 9:
Downtown brews up a new bar: Hop Nuts Brewing will mark its grand opening in the Downtown Vegas Arts District tonight. Located at 1120 S. Main Street (suite #150), the bar has been quietly serving up brews since New Year's Day. Stop by and find 12 beers on tap, ranging from an Hop Nuts IPA (7.4% ABV, 65 IBU) to an Hop Nuts Imperial Stout (8.5% ABV, 75 IBU). The brewery is open Sunday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Friday and Saturday until 4 a.m. Tours are available, upon request. Call 702-816-5371 to inquire.

Super Bowl Betting Results And A Look Ahead To Next Year
By now you probably (hopefully) know the New England Patriots are Super Bowl champs, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 28-24. The point spread in the game went off in many Las Vegas sportsbooks as a pick 'em so the Patriots covered the spread. The game also went over the total which was somewhere between 47 and 48, depending when and where you wagered. The win and total score ended up in a four-way teaser win for bettors. Usually, when sports bettors win, the result is bad for casino sportsbook operators. In the case of the Big Game, it wasn't entirely good for bettors or bad for the sportsbooks.
With a huge menu of prop bets available sportsbooks may have been able to eek out an overall win. Prop wagers make up the majority in Big Game bets at the Westgate SuperBook while they only make up about 15% of Big Game wagers at Wynn. Every sportsbook operator offers a different number of prop bets so the results will vary. William Hill released almost 700 and here are some of the results of their more popular prop bets:

The Best Tickets Of 2014
It's time for the fifth annual VegasChatter Awards! Today, we begin bringing you the best and worst of the year. All of our picks are based on what we've personally experienced in Vegas over 2014 -- the good, the bad and the mind-boggling.
Can a show set in the ever-changing landscape of Las Vegas performing for today's immediate gratification and 'what have you done for me lately' crowd really land a Best Show award for the fourth year in a row? A year ago we thought another Spiegelworld production would at least give Absinthe a run for its money, but the demise of the super but short-lived Vegas Nocturne eliminated that debate.
VegasChatter revisited the tent long-term parked in front of Caesars Palace this month in the interest of fairness and to ensure Absinthe wasn't resting on its
lack of competition laurels at this point. Was Absinthe still fresh or had it gotten stale?

How To Vegas Like Mindy Kaling
The VegasChatter corporate offices went on high alert when actress/producer/writer Mindy Kaling indicated on social media that a Vegas trip was imminent. It's always interesting to see what a celebrity will do in Sin City and usually pretty (although, for most, unintentionally) entertaining, too.
While Prince Harry still holds the honor of cheekiest visit to date, Mindy kept fans enthralled through a constant stream of social media updates. After following (obsessively) along, here's a quick guide on how to do Vegas, Kaling style:
1. Pack the appropriate essentials.

Wynn Thinks Life Is Beautiful, Electric Daisy Carnival Lineup Revealed
The three-day, dusk-to-dawn brain melt more commonly referred to as the Electric Daisy Carnival returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway June 20-22. Earlier this week, the 400,000 people expected to attend the sold-out, Alice in Wonderland-like experience were treated to the highly anticipated 2014 lineup, which includes mega acts like Calvin Harris, Avicci, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and Afrojack.
Las Vegas' other big music festival, Life Is Beautiful, will once again take over Downtown Vegas October 24-26. This year, event organizers are teaming up with the nightspots of Wynn to offer a more exclusive VIP experience. XS, Tryst, Surrender and Encore Beach Club will help staff new table and cabana packages. If that has your name all over it, email email@example.com for details, pricing and reservations. Tickets for this year's fest have not yet been released.

WSOP Players Get Special Hotel Rates And You Can, Too
May means it's time for the 45th annual World Series of Poker. As tens of thousands of poker pros, amateurs, fans, and dreamers make their way to Las Vegas, they will take up residence in the city's hotels. Caesars, which runs the WSOP, offers special rates for entrants at host hotel Rio as well as its other properties across the city. Many will take them up on the offer, but quite a few will instead take advantage of special year-round poker rates not generally advertised to the public. The cool thing about these rates is that they're open to anyone, not just the poker pros.

VegasChatter Questions: When You Want To Dine Fine Outside
It's not just anywhere that you can sit outside and eat or drink the night away. Even though it can get chilly or sweltering hot in Las Vegas, when the sun goes down, almost any night can still feel like a beautiful evening to be outdoors. In the summer, sitting outside in the warmth of a 95 degree evening beats sitting inside in a sweater because casino air conditioning is too cold.
VegasChatter Reader Curtis B. likes to dine under the stars and tells us he had a delicious meal outside at SW Steakhouse. Now, he would like more ideas:
coming from the cold North (snow here again today) in a month and looking for new ideas (or just fresh ideas for me) for a nice higher end restaurant that has outside seating. We ate at SW at the Wynn last year, was very good, nice setting, food was great and so nice to eat outside at night in the warmth rather than in cold AC restaurant.
Well, ask and ye shall receive. There are a quite a a few restaurants that offer a similarly great meals, outdoors, on the Vegas Strip.

Le Reve's Little Devil Is An Angel With A Cause
The Devil will direct a Las Vegas stripper show for charity.
Stick with us. This will all start to make sense in a moment.
Las Vegas is very much like a cruise ship. Thousands of tourists hop on board for a few nights of partying, dining, and frolicking before returning to their everyday lives. And, just like on those seafaring vessels, talented performers from around the world provide the entertainment.
Ryan Lyons is one such individual. A native of Windsor, Ontario, he relocated to Las Vegas in 2005 to help launch Le Reve - The Dream at the soon-to-open Wynn. After nine years and more than four thousand performances, many original cast members have disembarked and moved on to other adventures. But Lyons, a gymnast and tumbler who represented his homeland in international competitions, has made Las Vegas his permanent residence.

Shuttle brings big-bucks magnet to space station
The docking was overshadowed by the continuing Kelly-Giffords saga, with the flight director's news conference earlier in the day dominated by questions about the Arizona congresswoman. Giffords received a plastic skull implant during surgery in Houston on Wednesday, two days after witnessing her husband's launch. She was shot in the head on Jan. 8 at a political event in Tucson, Ariz., her hometown.
Lead flight director Gary Horlacher said Kelly performed "unbelievably" well during the linkup and noted that no one would know all he's been through in recent months.
"I know folks are kind of focused on Mark and his situation," he told reporters. "But AMS is going to be around talking to us for a long, long time. So I'm very much looking forward to the results over the years."
Ting, a deliberate, soft-spoken physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said recently that he wasn't concerned that the attention was on Kelly and Giffords, rather than the spectrometer.
"All success or failure depends on what physics we find. That's the only thing that's important," he said.
Hooman Davoudiasl, a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., said the experiment is "going to look at some fundamental questions ... that would be important in our overall understanding of the makeup of the universe and some of its basic characteristics,"
One question is why the universe is dominated by matter rather than sharing the stage with so-called "antimatter." While matter is made up of familiar particles like protons and electrons, antimatter is a collection of particles that are identical except for carrying the opposite charge. Standard theories have trouble explaining why matter is so dominant, Davoudiasl said. By studying cosmic rays, the spectrometer can help determine whether the universe actually has significant sources of antimatter. he said.
Another key question is how to explain so-called "dark matter," which is more common in the universe than the ordinary matter we're familiar with, he said. The experiment may shed some light on what this mysterious stuff is and how it behaves, he said.
The spectrometer almost didn't get into space. Ting and his team won approval to put it on the space station and it was assembled at the European Organization for Nuclear Research lab near Geneva.
But in the wake of the 2003 Columbia tragedy and the 2004 announcement of the shuttles' retirement, some flights were canceled and cargo space on the remaining missions filled up quickly. NASA was uncertain there would be room for the large detector.
Ting never gave up. Now 75, he was born in Michigan but raised in China, and returned to the United States to earn all his degrees. He was a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1976 at age 40.
Launching the spectrometer on an unmanned rocket wasn't an option, Ting said, because of the enormous cost of the rocket and providing solar power to what would be a free-flying satellite.
A shuttle flight finally was added for the spectrometer. But when the lifetime of the space station was extended last year to at least 2020, the team swapped out a three-year magnet for one that could operate forever. The switch delayed the shuttle mission by months.

Hi: I don't know if you had a reply yet because it is posted differently. Have you checked to see if there is power to the injectors? You need a noid light or test light. If there is no power, you need to trace the wiring back the computer, checking for damage. The computer itself could be bad too, but that would require a shop to check.

I am so sorry for the bad problem. It should have read "Mercedes 450sl Gasoline Fuel Injected Engine Getting fuel to distributor But Won't Start". As you know, it is a mechanical (non-electrical) injection system. I have checked further into the last two components and cleared the lines. Unfortunately, it didn't continue to run when I restarted it. My next step is to remove those last two components and clean them. The two components are on the front of the engine after the fuel distributor in the fuel flow.

In our day-to-day lives, and to our great good fortune, people do not just burst into song and dance. There are exceptions to this, maybe—wrong turn into a theater camp; some nightmare struck-by-lightning flashmob scenario—but by and large they do not, and certainly they shouldn't. This, or this and the horror of other people singing and dancing and so vigorously emoting their emotions, is why musicals are so rough for me.
"Rough" is, honestly, maybe understating it. I cringe at the dramatic sliding and stomping around the stage, the emphatic rhythmic speech slyly turning into a melody, and then into a song that infects innocent bystanders who magically chime in, in perfect synchrony. The transition from daily life to song and dance is the musical's central conceit, but it also feels like a clumsy trick, an uncommonly dorky hustle. I was watching, after all. Everything was normal and then, out of the blue, there's the eruption of choreographed/chaotic collective delusion. This is maybe not the bravest of stances, but I won't be part of it.
Basketball, on the other hand, has its own rituals and artificialities and weird rituals, and I will sit through pretty much anything basketball-related. So what to make, then, of the existence of a musical about the invention of basketball? Initially, not much: I've read too much idealizing lore about the invention of basketball, too much nostalgic fantasy. So taking the story of James Naismith—the game's patron saint and founding father and so obviously on—and making it a musical made a certain sort of sense. Of coursesomeone adapted this particular basketball myth into the squarest of artistic forms. It's not promising on its face, but there's something to it: what could better express the hyper-romanticized and sentimentalized drama permeating the various narratives of the game's invention than a musical? Here, it seems, is a perfect target for an archly ironic critique of the purist dream of basketball's pristine origins. Whether the musical itself would be in on that critique was a different question entirely.
Written, directed, and produced by John Grissmer, The Perfect Game: Jim Naismith Invents Basketballshuttles back and forth in time between 1891 and the present. In the present, "The Home Team" prepares for the big game against "Arch Rival," as a love story develops between the home team's young interim coach, Frank, and ex-coach Nancy, the former women's basketball coach who resigned her post and is reassigned to lead the pom-pom squad. Meanwhile, in 1891, Naismith meets and courts his wife to be, Maud.
Naismith himself, aged 31 (as he actually was when he invented basketball in December, 1891) appears to Nancy in the present and takes on a mentoring role: helping her work through and overcome her fraught feelings about coaching and Frank. Meanwhile, at different points in the story, both Nancy and Maud discuss with Naismith aspects of the development of the game subsequent to its invention, in particular the relative importance in basketball of recreation and winning.
Amidst the developing romances, the hype leading up to the "big game," and the discussions about the evolution of basketball, Grissmer includes several scenes depicting the events leading up to Naismith's invention of the game. Thus, we see Naismith in a seminar on psychology, claiming that rational, modern principles of invention should be applied to the invention of new games; we see the class of "incorrigible" students complainingly going through their dull gymnastic routines; we see Naismith alone thinking and imagining his way to the new game with its 13 original rules; and we see the unruly class try the game out and take to it immediately. Much of this material recapitulates the story as both historians and Naismith himself, toward the end of his life, recounted it.
Much of it, I say, but not quite all of it. For, despite all the ample evidence to the contrary, including Naismith's own story of how dribbling emerged accidentally and only in time became a fundamental art of basketball, Grissmer stubbornly insists on portraying Naismith conceiving of the dribble in its modern form as a critical missing piece to the puzzle of his new game.
The ball. (BEAT) The ball will have to be large and light. (BEAT BEAT) So as not to cause injuries. (BEAT) Movement and speed, any direction. No running with the ball. No carrying it against the body. (BEAT) No tackling. No punching the ball. (BEAT BEAT) Pass the ball. Allow an extra step for stopping from a run. (BEAT BEAT BEAT) Pass the ball or bounce it off the floor.
Bounce it off the floor? (BEAT) Well, why not? Bounce the ball at a flat angle off the floor to another player. Or – that's a funny idea – the player could bounce the ball to himself. Hah!
The relative quality of those lyrics aside, that is all fully false. So naturally The Perfect Gamemakes the dribble into the keystone of its version of the game's invention and subsequent evolution. Thus, in a scene portraying Naismith's initial encounter with his soon-to-be wife Maud in 1892, a flirtation arises as Naismith demonstrates the dribble, Maud practices it, and then Naismith playfully steals the ball as Maud equally playfully uses her body to protect the ball from his reach, slamming "her butt into him. Hard," as the stage directions indicate. This happens while the two bust into a duet called "The Dribble."
Finally, toward the end of the work, as Maud and Jim, now married and looking back at their lives together and at the role of basketball in them, tensions that arise between them as to the value of the game are resolved when James recalls that very first game of basketball in December 1891, and specifically how he instructed the players in the dribble. In Grissmer's version of the story Naismith's conscious invention of the dribble becomes both the key Jim and Maud's winning love story and the catapult for basketball's worldwide popularity.
Which is okay for the show's purposes, but which makes it more difficult for me to stay out of all this. This falsification of history serves to secure an essential continuity between the game Naismith conceived and the game as it is played today. I'll go one step further and speculate that this reveals, even as it strives to calm, some anxious questions about the game's evolution. Has the game strayed too far from its origins? Has winning become too important? Has the game's popularity, and the media attention and money that it attracted and that have in turned further fueled that popularity, irreversibly distorted the purity of the original game? Maybe more to the point: are these questions even interesting to you?
If today's game is so dramatically different from what Naismith invented, is it still basketball? Or, more alarmingly, if today's game is basketball, then what the hell do we call what Naismith invented? This is the tricky part: the challenge of what to do, at a deeper affective level, with the scandalous tragedy that things change, that time and the world irresistibly transform the things we love. Having Naismith invent the dribble provides the comforting fantasy that things maybe aren't so different after all; that some things endure, remain pure and true to original intentions.
There are many good reasons to explore a little more forcefully this critique of anxiety-ridden myths of basketball's origins, myths which depend upon and try to purvey as truth a belief in basketball having a single, fixed essence, invented a century-and-some ago by a particularly ingenious gym teacher. But there's no need to blow that up, really: it's mostly false on its face, and as unconvincing as any other similarly essentialist argument.
Instead, despite my critical reservations about Grissmer's fantasy and others like it, and about the medium he chose, I find myself in another argument. I can't stand musicals; I can't stand silly sentimentality about the halcyon past of a sport so alive in the present. But I still find myself wanting to celebrate the existence of this musical and the love of the game that Grissmer expresses through it. It's okay that the basketball Grissmer cherishes and preserves isn't the same basketball that I love. It's even okay that the basketball he imagines never really existed. What's important is that in creating his musical—and laboring for years against all odds to have it produced—Grissmer was feeling and trying to transmit the same spark of life in the game that I and everyone else who writes about this sport wants to convey in our words about basketball. There's truth, and then there's truth.
And this is what basketball can inspire: affective intensities so powerful that they can impel a middle-aged and mostly unknown playwright to dedicate years of his life to a fantastic portrayal of the game's origin. Despite our differences in point of view, I can't help but feel empathy and tenderness for—can't help but identify with—the intensity of attachment to something in basketball that apparently drove Grissmer to create his musical. It's not so different, really, from what makes any of us write about basketball; it's there on the page in the Why We Watch series, and even in the odd awestruck Tweets that follow a particularly virtuosic Chris Paul moment.
And there is, maybe, a way in which basketball and musicals have some things in common. Both involve unembarrassed exaggerations of aspects of daily life; both generate over-the-top drama and complexity from the constraining matrix of simple elements, rules, and formulas. In this sense, the composer and the point guard have some strange thing in common. And both musicals and basketball invite us to suspend our critical judgment and to be taken in by a spectacle so that our emotions will be stirred, drawn forth, and expressed. This happens on the court, if we're being honest, in just as eruptive and chaotic a manner as it does on the stage.
What's more, the boy in me whose first discovery of the powers of the game as a player involved dribbling can't help but feel that there is a truth in Grissmer's lie; the dribble isthe key to the game, after all, even if the game's inventor didn't discover as much. But this goes beyond my own love of the dribble. The dribble is the key to the game also for reasons relating to the true history of basketball that Grissmer elides in his musical.
The dribble—today a practiced fundamental skill, a tactical maneuver, a much admired form of artistic expression in the game, and actual percussive music itself in that ubiquitous NBA Store/"Carol of the Bells" commercial—was neverimagined, let alone expected or planned. It just happened and from there grew rapidly through myriad contingent factors into what it is today, what it is still becoming.
Or rather, more precisely, a player's body responded to an intractable and seemingly insoluble problem encountered in the course of play—being trapped in a corner with the ball, surrounded by defenders, prohibited from running with it and unable to pass it successfully—by breaking the rules, and so inverting the game. The debates about legality and desirability of dribbling come later. So also do the formalization of the dribble and the reasoned calculation about how to do it best and most effectively.
What's important is that in an instant, a player's body reflexively reinvented the game; that, and that the game then accepted and assimilated that foreign body. It's hard to think of a more apt emblem for the life in basketball and how it works to free itself from what imprisons it. And yet, at the same time, when you see the game through these eyes, you see that every single game of basketball, every single play entails, at least on the micro level, myriad reinventions of the game; myriad exhibitions of a body, in an instant of time, adapting itself and its circumstances into the shape of something we've not yet seen.
The life in basketball is a kaleidoscope, an ocean wave, a flame; ceaselessly becoming, like the first player to dribble; ceaselessly freeing itself from what would imprison it. And so, in the end, maybe actually rather like the song and dance that bursts forth from the stiff constraints of daily life in a musical.

Going to graduate school was a positive decision for me. I enjoyed the coursework, the presentations, the fellow students, and the professors. And since my company reimbursed 100% of the tuition, the only cost that I had to pay on my own was for books and supplies. Otherwise, I received a free master's degree. All that I had to invest was my time. http://logofloormats.eu

We wandered in because of the delicious aromas, and left very happy. The staff were all super friendly and able to suggest menu items. We decided to share a pasta dish and a pizza. Without asking, the pasta dish was brought to us already divided onto two plates, to make it easier to share. The sauce was very good. The pizza was also very good - even my husband, who typically doesn't like thick crusted pizza, thought it was great.

A new version of the Mobicip Safe Browser for iOS was rolled out via the App Store last week. Today, a freshly minted Safe Browser for Android is available on the Google Play Store. While we do update apps once in a while, the latest updates are significant in more ways than one.
Unfreezing the Brain Freeze
When the last update of the Safe Browser for iOS went live in August, it was a fairly routine one that was developed, tested thoroughly and deployed with confidence. Little did we realize the mayhem it would cause over the next several weeks. Apparently, the browser would freeze randomly, crash occasionally, and do it so unpredictably that it confounded users and developers alike. It took several weeks to understand that code that was carried over from older versions of iOS was causing the app to brain-freeze. And so it was back to the drawing board to painstakingly recreate the app using the latest and greatest offered by the iOS SDK (Software Development Kit), followed by several rounds of testing and bug-fixing that drove our QA engineers to the edge of crazyness. After a week of release, judging from the noise that has died down, and the silent applause from anonymous users, it looks like we did it. You see, we rarely hear from users when they're happy. There is an ominious and sweet silence, with only the download numbers acting as proof of said happiness. It appears that the freeze is gone. Phew! What a relief.

The Lollipop Crush
The Android L aka Android 5.0 aka Android Lollipop update was announced at the Google I/O conference in June. It was not immediately obvious that a whole lot of APIs had changed. In fact, so much had changed that it took several months of development effort to create the same user experience as on Android KitKat 4.x. And as the official release date approached, Google chose to release another devleloper update of Android L that led to another round of scrambling to reinvent the wheel. Suffice to say that 'Lollipop' has come to represent a moving target that can hardly be reached. Some heroic effort and sleepless nights later, the update was published today. Phew, again! What a relief 2.0.

At last count, there were 10 million iPads deployed in US school systems. Overcoming initial resistance, schools are increasingly embracing mobile learning, specifically iPads. Experts like Dr. Elliott Solloway and Dr. Cathy Norris question the frenzy. The goal of such initiatives should be to change the education paradigm from a 'memorization-oriented pedagogy' to an 'inquiry pedagogy'. The question is whether it is making a real difference in the student's journey.
"To support 24/7 inquiry, a student needs a mobile device that is ready-at-hand," argue Dr. Solloway and Dr. Norris. "A 10 inch-screened device is not truly ready-at-hand; or more likely, it is sitting in the iPad charging cart in the classroom."
It is true that most mobile learning initiatives in schools restrict usage to the classroom. And that is a shame because it undermines the goal of "inquiry pedagogy"! At Mobicip, our founding mission is to support ready-at-hand learning, anytime, anywhere. Here's to unleashing the cart-bound towards true mobile learning.
There is no question that parents are the first role models for kids. But a recent study makes a claim that a father's level of education is the strongest factor determining a child's future success at school. The report from the Office for National Statistics in the UK claims that children are seven and a half times less likely to be successful at school if their father had a low level of education, and three times less likely to have a low educational outcome if their mother did so.
Previous studies have indicated such a link between parent-child education levels, but the latest study shows a marked impact of a father's attainment level on the child's education. "This report shows just how important education is in breaking that cycle of poverty across generations and ensuring that poor educational achievement is not transmitted from parent to child," says Conor Ryan, Director of Research at the Sutton Trust, a think tank that addresses educational inequality. Learn more.
One of the many challenges faced by the digital parent today is the question of how much screen time is good, or not good, for our kids. The American Academy of Pediatrics says the average kid spends 7 hours a day across television, computers, tablets and smartphones. It also recommends that parents should try to limit screen time to 2 hours a day at most. Critics of such one-size-fits-all studies argue that not all screen time is the same.
"The idea of telling my kid he can only have one to two hours of computer time a day makes me laugh. Seriously?" argues Dresden Shumaker, a writer and parent who makes some valid counterpoints. "When it comes to screens, time isn't what needs to be monitored. What needs monitoring is content and how involved we are."
The younger generation has always been a step ahead in adapting to new technologies and platforms. Modern smartphones and tablets have allowed them to evolve into true 'digital natives' as opposed to their parents' generation of 'digital immigrants'. This generation gap has created a challenge for parents today in keeping up with their tech-savvy kids, if not staying one step ahead.
A former teacher, now EdTech consultant, Patricia Brown suggests:

Schools are embracing digital technologies like never before. However, many parents have a mistaken notion that the tablet or laptop replaces the previously used physical medium, like the textbook or notebook. Some others acknowledge that it is a good consumption device, where students can review content posted by the teacher or school. All it takes to flip the switch is one look at a teacher using technology for learning in a simple and intuitive manner.
Monica Burns, a former elementary school teacher in a 1:1 classroom, usesGeoboard - a virtual manipulative app - to reinforce math concepts and promote higher order thinking skills.
"Geoboard is an app that is all about the activity you choose to do with it, as opposed to leading students in a particular direction." See full article here.
As schools are increasingly going digital, parents should be asking some important questions about what apps their kids are using at school, what data is being collected, and how the information collected is being used. If the whole issue of privacy is new and the phrase 'personally identifiable information' doesn't mean anything to you, it is time to get started and educate yourself!
Most K-12 schools are back in session (in the US) over the next few weeks. It is time to prepare to get back into the routine and get things in order. One thing to check on is your kids' devices to make sure they are setup with age-appropriate restrictions and parental controls. Done already? Ok. Here are some more resources to help you de-stress and stay in control over the next few days.

Every parent has concerns about their children's health and safety, but sometimes it helps to know that you are not alone. The C.S. Mott Children's Hospital publishes a national (US-wide) poll based on an annual survey, and this year's results are as revealing as they come. Read the full report here.
Are we worrying too much? Stephen Balkan, CEO of Family Online Safety Institute, offers the sage advice, "let's help kids to become resilient, by helping themselves and then helping others." Enough said.
It has been a productive summer at Mobicip and the updates keep coming! In case you haven't noticed already, the latest update of the Safe Browser is now available on the App Store and Play Store. On iOS, the update offers a fresh user experience and fixes several bugs, especially the deployment server issue for schools. On Android, the update fixes the workaround issue on Samsung tabs, among several other bug fixes.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Neechi Commons to improve quality of life in North End
After several years of unexpected construction delays and cost overruns, the Neechi Commons Community Business Complex on Main Street is almost ready to open its doors.
"We're sure of a January opening," project manager Russ Rothney said in an interview, adding Neechi Foods Co-op Ltd. officials are shooting for a "soft" opening in the first or second week of the month and a grand opening for late January or early February.
Rothney said the construction work is pretty well done. All that's needed now is final approval from the project's mechanical engineer and an occupancy permit from the city.
Rothney said the co-op expects to receive the occupancy permit this week. Then the newly hired management team can start hiring and training employees and making sure all of the equipment is working properly.
"We're just so excited to finally be able to focus on running the business and not on the construction," he added.
The Neechi Commons complex, which is located at the corner of Main and Euclid Avenue, will include a neighbourhood supermarket, a produce courtyard, a farmers market, a cafeteria-style restaurant, a bakery, an aboriginal art centre, a fish market and specialty boutiques.
Rothney said about 70 people, mostly younger and mostly from the surrounding neighbourhoods, will be employed at the complex. He said a job fair held in October attracted over 500 applicants, so they don't expect any difficulty filling the positions.
The project, which involved the redevelopment of two 100-plus-year-old buildings, ran into a number of unforeseen problems that contributed to the project delays and cost overruns. They included having to replace the entire brick facade on the Main Street side of the buildings, replacing a rear annex that had mould growing inside the walls and removing an old underground structure beneath the gravel parking lot.
Rothney said the project ended up costing about $8 million by the time they added in the extra carrying costs on their loans and the cost of upgrades to the old Neechi Co-op building on Dufferin Avenue. The co-op plans to continue operating a catering and wholesale food-services operation out of that building, as well as a small convenience store and lunch counter for neighbourhood residents who can't get to the new complex.
He said the final tab is at least $1.5 million higher than anticipated. Although the cost figure being bandied about in 2010 was $5 million, Rothney said later that didn't include the cost of acquiring the property and the equipment for the new complex.
About $5.5 million has already been raised for the project, including $2.3 million from the province, $1.3 million from the federal government, and $400,000 from co-op members.
Now the co-op is trying to raise an additional $2 million. It hopes to raise at least half of that through an ongoing public investment-share offering, and another $1 million in capital grants or donations from outside foundations, organizations and individuals.
Early last summer, the worker-owned co-op also asked the City of Winnipeg for an $850,000 tax-increment financing grant. The grant would be an advance on future property taxes that will flow from the redeveloped site.
"I'm pretty confident the city will come through with something," Rothney said. "But I have no idea what the exact amount will be."
A city spokesperson said the matter is expected to come before city council early in the new year.
Rothney said the co-op had sold $338,000 worth of Class A and B shares as of late Monday.
The Class A shares are priced at $100. Buyers are eligible to receive a 30 per cent provincial tax credit on purchases of up to $30,000, as well as a projected three per cent annual dividend after the second year and a projected five per cent dividend after five years.
The Class B shares are priced at $1,000 and are aimed at organizations and individuals who do not quality for the provincial tax credit. They offer to pay a projected annual dividend of five per cent beginning in the first year.
Rothney noted buyers of Class A shares who want to claim their tax credit for this year need to purchase their shares before the end of the month.

grow light kits
Will this type of set up work ok for tomato seeds? There is also a set up called jump start that uses 4 foot T5 lighting I believe.
I have grown all of my vegetables from seed for the past 3 years with success simply using a cheap 4 tier greenhouse. I leave my plants out in it during the day, and take them inside @ night until it gets warmer. After reading many posts on here, it looks like I will achieve more success w/ grow lights. I always get decent production from my tomato plants, but it could be better. I don't think building my own is an option at this point, so if the kits aren't so good I guess I'll order my tomato plants online. If you do recommend a kit, do I really need a heating mat? The room I plan to put it in is 75*. Thank you for your input, Lisa
Yes it would work but whether it is a good deal I couldn't say. Are you sure that is a 4 foot one. By the tray under it it looks like a 2 foot one. T5 bulbs can be expensive to replace. I would look for one with T8 daylight bulbs. If you only plan on growing tomatoes 1- 4 foot fixture is sufficient.
Keep the light an inch above the plants when growing under lights.
Don't forget you have to harden off plants grown inside to get them used to the UV light.
Thank you. This is a 2 foot system and I have seen a four foot one as well. Yes, I will harden them off. In fact, when the days get warmer I would like to get them out for sun exposure and working it up to a few hours a day and finally all day. We have many days in April when it is 65-70 and sunny. Then I can put them back under the light for a few more hours--I hear about 16 hours of sunlight. Is that ok to do? I read that the sun's rays are most effective so if it is warm enough I can stick them out there (gradually ofcoarse). Where I live we have warm days but still pretty chilly nights so I take them back in. Again, I have grown seeds on my own before, but I think that my tomatoes will be more productive if I start them off with the light. Thank you for your help.
do I really need the heating mat for germination? I have germinated all seeds before without, but maybe there is a extra benefit to doing it with the mat...? I normally put them in the tub upstairs where it is humid and a bit warmer to germinate. Thanks again for all of your help!

I don't use germination mats for tomatoes, but they do help me with peppers and eggplants.
You can do the same thing with a shelving unit, 2 shelfs (1 for the light and 1 to hold the plants. 1-2 flourescent light fixture (depending upon how wide/number of bulbs in fixture, use daylight bulbs), and hooks and chains to mount the light, and be able to raise or lower the light fixture.
I don't use the dome tray, either, I've found that it builds too much moisture for my liking.
Can be purchased for less than $50, if you shop around. Plus everything can be used for other things, if decide NOT to continue (slight chance, once you're hooked, you'll never stop).
Anyone interested in used 350W metal halide high bay lights? They would be perfect for grow lights. Very reasonably priced.
email me.
LED grow lights are all the rage now if you are interested in or already growing plants indoors. Now a days there are so many growing light companies which provide us different kits which you have never seen before. Here these kits are really amazing.
