Many homeschooling families set aside a room just for school. Other families prefer to use their whole house. In either case, a homeschooling family needs space both to "do" and to "store" their school stuff!
The Student's Needs
A place to do her daily school work: Each child needs to have access to a desk or table where she can have comfortable, proper writing posture. However, school work need not be limited to one particular space. She might enjoy reading in a recliner or spreading out on the floor to work on a science project. Keep in mind that a younger student might need more supervision, so her work area needs to be easily visible and accessible to the teacher. Likewise, some students will need to have access to an area that is quiet and solitary.
A place to keep her daily school work: If your children do not have their own desks, you can assign each of them a drawer in a file cabinet or a shelf on a bookcase. Or you could give each child a tote bag, box, or bin for her books. Provide a smaller container for pencils, scissors, erasers, etc. Requiring each student to keep track of her own school "stuff" is a good way to teach neatness and stewardship.
The Teacher's Needs
A place to keep her daily school tools: A chest of drawers is a handy way to store answer keys, teacher edition books, and lesson plans. It could also contain supplies like pens and pencils, crayons, glue, and erasers.
Other Needs
A place to store the paraphernalia needed in a homeschool: Bookshelves will come in handy for reference books, school books not being used currently, science equipment, math manipulatives, and educational games. A file cabinet is an efficient way to store paper goods such as construction paper, writing paper, newspaper articles, report cards, lesson plans, and attendance records.
A place for completed daily work: One option is for each child to put his completed daily work in his own expandable file pouch. At the end of the year, this file can be emptied and reused, or taped closed and packed away in a box. Remember, you don't have to keep every piece of paper that your child completes. Sort and keep only what is important to you. It can be fun to keep a special file for each child to show progress in art and writing skills. Younger children enjoy displaying their work on a bulletin board.
If your space is limited, don't worry. You will not be able to accumulate as much homeschool "stuff" as others will, which might be a real advantage! When and if a need arises, you will find creative ways to store what you need.

Date Reviewed: November 12, 2013
Strengths: Worked fine for about 30 miles before clicking.
Weaknesses: Failed after only about 45 miles leaving me with an unridable bike.
Bottom Line:
Turns out it was actually the freehub failing.
I had organized a ride with 4 other friends at a set of trails an hour and a half away from us and this hub failed about 66% the way through the ride. I was able to get it to work on the way back to the car but then after lunch when we went out again it got progressively worse. I got to push my bike back to the car about 2.5 miles. Not fun.

Date Reviewed: September 11, 2013
Strengths: This 32H front hub came stock with an Alexrims R450 wheel. Yes, it is steel, and yes it has ball bearings, but it really is a decent hub. I didn't like the crappy grease that they use in it (amber-looking vegetable grease? recycled grease?), so I stripped it and put in Lubrimatic Wheel Bearing grease. This is so easy to do with a ball bearing hub. It now is part of a very reliable spare front wheel.
Weaknesses: Weight.

Bike Setup: Cycle Genius STX recumbent with SRAM 5.0 and fat Diamondback and Mongoose Kenda BMX tires.
Date Reviewed: July 11, 2005
Strengths: Cheap. Makes me say "You get what you pay for"
Weaknesses: Very slow spinning. Wont freewheel at all with the skewers done up. Unserviceable, even good bike shop mechanics took a look and gave my bike back to me.
Bottom Line:
These hubs are slow it takes an extra 25% effort to get up to race speed. Having these hubs laced to your rims is like riding with your brakes on.
I got off my bike after tacoing my rear wheel on a recent trail ride, rode a lap on my friend's Scott Genius, and the difference between the quality hubs he had and the shizen that I was riding almost made me cry.
I took the hubs back to the store I bought them from to get them serviced. They couldnt make them any better and instead of a reasonable amount of freespin I got a strange sense that the 'quality wheelset' I was sold was actually revolving around a set of dud hubs.
In the end I had to loosen the skewers to the extent that halfway through a turn my rear wheel took off down the road in the opposite direction to me.
The only people I would recommend these hubs to are those guys who are faster, fitter and much better riders than me.
Just so I could beat them - and if they used these hubs and I wasnt, it would be easy.
Sorry Quando, Im not usually so negative, but your hubs aren't worth the effort required to throw them into a fire.

Click below to hear the interview
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
It's World IP Version Six Day. Some large Internet Service Providers, federal departments and agencies, hardware manufacturers, software publishers and online companies like Facebook are testing the next generation of Internet Protocol, IPv6.
"Everyone's paying attention to IPv6 today, so you'll know if something breaks and then you can go and fix it before you really go to roll out IPv6 on a permanent basis."
Tim Winters, senior manager of the Interoperability Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire, explained to Federal News Radio today is an experiment. The idea is simple enough: turn on IPv6 on large and major websites and then track how many people could use it. "If we've done our job, you shouldn't notice any difference." Winters said he expects less than a percentage point of Internet users might not work as anticipated, "and they're what we're trying to find."
You might not even really notice something is wrong, said Winters.
"It'll look like it hangs, so your screen, your web browser will be blank, is the best way I can describe it. And then after about 30 seconds or a minute, depending on your operating system, it'll all of a sudden come up and what's happening there is it's trying IPv6 and failing and then going back to IPv4. And that's the kind of people we want to find because they have broken IPv6."
If you have a problem, you can go to test-ipv6.com to help analyze what might be wrong.
IPv6 is very different from IPv4, explained Winters, in that "we have a billion or so devices on networks. It's a lot more complicated and people making a lot more money, so you can't have it break, or have time to fix these issues. So a lot of the programs and testing needs to be done because it's just a different world when IPv4 was created."
Asked if there's an IPv7 anytime soon in the future, Winters quickly replied, "I hope not!" He then pointed out it shouldn't be needed anytime soon. "The difference in address space was the current v4 fits in a golf ball. If you took all the addresses that existed in the old protocol, they'd fit in a golf ball, and v6 fits in the sun."
The federal government is under a mandate to adopt IPv6. For more about that, including why IPv6 is "the underpinning" of NSTIC, listen to the entire interview using the audio player at the top of the page.
Each host or computer on the Internet requires an Internet Protocol address in order to communicate. The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with the current system, IPv4. Federal News Radio follows the government's implementation of IPv6.

In Revelation, we see God along with the "Seven Spirits before his throne".
Revelations 1:4 (NIV)
To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,
We see it again later in Revelations:
Revelations 5:6 (NIV) Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Who/what are these seven spirits? How are they "before the throne" and also "part of the lamb"? (Or are these seven different spirits?)
I'm seeking the answers from the doctrine that Revelations should not be taken literally--that it is somewhat metaphorical. I presume these seven spirits to be a metaphor, but for what?

Bill gives FAA authority to move funds, prevent furloughs
Friday - 4/26/2013, 6:22am EDT
By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) - WASHINGTON (AP) - Legislation to end furloughs of air traffic controllers and delays for millions of travelers is headed to a House vote after a dark-of-night vote in the Senate that took place after most lawmakers had left the Capitol for a weeklong vacation.
The bill passed late Thursday without even a roll call vote, and House officials indicated it likely would be brought up for quick approval there.
Under the legislation, the Federal Aviation Administration would gain authority to transfer up to $253 million from accounts that are flush into other programs, to "prevent reduced operations and staffing" through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.
In addition to restoring full staffing by controllers, Senate officials said the available funds should be ample enough to prevent the closure of small airport towers around the country. The FAA has said it will shut the facilities as it makes its share of $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts - known as the sequester - that took effect last month at numerous government agencies.
The Senate acted as the FAA said there had been at least 863 flights delayed on Wednesday "attributable to staffing reductions resulting from the furlough."
Administration officials participated in the negotiations that led to the deal and evidently registered no objections.
After the vote, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, "It will be good news for America's traveling public if Congress spares them these unnecessary delays. But ultimately, this is no more than a temporary Band-Aid that fails to address the overarching threat to our economy posed by the sequester's mindless, across-the-board cuts."
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a key participant in the talks, said the legislation would "prevent what otherwise would have been intolerable delays in the air travel system, inconveniencing travelers and hurting the economy."
Senate approval followed several hours of pressure-filled, closed-door negotiations, and came after most senators had departed the Capitol on the assumption that the talks had fallen short.
Officials said a small group of senators insisted on a last-ditch effort at an agreement before Congress adjourned for a vacation that could have become politically problematic if the flight delays continued.
"I want to do it right now. There are other senators you'd have to ask what the hang-up is," Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., said at a point when it appeared no compromise would emerge.
For the White House and Senate Democrats, the discussions on legislation relating to one relatively small slice of the $85 billion in spending cuts marked a shift in position in a long-running struggle with Republicans over budget issues. Similarly, the turn of events marked at least modest vindication of a decision by the House GOP last winter to finesse some budget struggles in order to focus public attention on the across-the-board cuts in hopes they would gain leverage over President Barack Obama.
The Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, a union that represents FAA employees, reported a number of incidents it said were due to the furloughs.
In one case, it said several flights headed for Long Island MacArthur Airport in New York were diverted on Wednesday when a piece of equipment failed. "While the policy for this equipment is immediate restoral, due to sequestration and furloughs it was changed to next-day restoral," the union said.
It added it was "learning of additional impacts nationwide, including open watches, increased restoration times, delays resulting from insufficient funding for parts and equipment, modernization delays, missed or deferred preventative maintenance, and reduced redundancy."
The airlines, too, were pressing Congress to restore the FAA to full staffing.
In an interview Wednesday, Robert Isom, chief operations officer of US Airways, likened the furloughs to a "wildcat regulatory action."
He added, "In the airline business, you try to eliminate uncertainty. Some factors you can't control, like weather. It (the FAA issue) is worse than the weather."
In a shift, first the White House and then senior Democratic lawmakers have signaled a willingness in the past two days to support legislation that alleviates the budget crunch at the FAA, while leaving the balance of the $85 billion to remain in effect.
Obama favors a comprehensive agreement that replaces the entire $85 billion in across-the-board cuts as part of a broader deficit-reduction deal that includes higher taxes and spending cuts.
One Senate Democrat, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, noted that without the type of comprehensive deficit deal that Obama favors, a bill that eases the spending crunch at the FAA would inevitably be followed by other single-issue measures. She listed funding at the National Institutes of Health as one example, and cuts that cause furloughs of civilians who work at military hospitals as a second.

Shaky Defense Costs Baseball in 6-2 Loss to Newberry; Final Home Series of 2012 Begins Saturday
April 11, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Visiting Newberry College made a handful of gems defensively while taking advantage of four Pfeiffer University errors to claim a 6-2 victory in non-conference baseball action on Wednesday afternoon. The Wolves improve to 18-25 overall after four of their six runs became unearned while the Falcons fall to 21-20.
Newberrys first run in the second inning started as a fielding error at third with two outs kept the inning alive for Albert Baur (Philadelphia, PA) to score. In the fourth, the Wolves would post a two-out rally as a hit by pitch to Josh McElwee (Andrews, SC) and walk to Brandan Sheridan (Jacksonville, FL) allowed Hunter Cox (Andrews, SC) to rope a two-run double down the left field line.
Making it 5-0 in the sixth, another error at the hot corner led to two more unearned runs as Sheridan recorded another run-scoring double while Cox picked up his third RBI with a groundout to second.
Pfeiffer would get on the board with single runs in the seventh and eighth as a Cole McGraw (Claremont, NC) fielders choice and wild pitch to score Jacob Yates (Blairs, VA) accounted for the Falcons pair on the day. Newberry added insurance in the form of Baur reaching on an error in the ninth.
Wolves starter Wesley Camp (Pelion, SC) got the win with a fantastic seven innings of work allowing an unearned run with a pair of hits and five strikeouts. Eric Shuford (Shelby, NC) picked up the tough-luck loss for the Falcons also tossing seven frames allowing five runs, two earned, on seven hits with four strikeouts.
The Falcons will now move on to their final home series of the 2012 season with three game against Mount Olive. Saturdays doubleheader with live stats at http://www.gofalconsports.com begins at 12:00 p.m.

Tonight, I was determined to do the new scenario, and I loved it!!!
I had heard mixed reports, and as usual I had no complaints I can't wait to see more of them as thy will be quite enjoyable o do when you just want iTunes with a couple of mates though some quick things.
I liked that I could blow stuff away and not worry about aggro or threat or healing etc. Obviously having a healer does make a difference if you are grabbing bundles and bundles of pats, but if exercising caution, you could survive quite easily without.
Anyway when I came out of my scenario, I landed on top of someone. Just another person until the name registered in my brain and I actually squealed. Hubby thought I was mental. I then proceeded to jump like a maniac because Akabeko was standing right in front of me!
Akabeko! THE AKABEKO!!
After a moment of complete speechlessness, we had a quick chat and swapped battletags. Of course, I was too chicken to actually talk to her after that, but small steps ok? I also have to thank another special Druid for helping that connection
I did the scenario on a couple of toons, did some healing on my pally in PVP and then decided to call it a night!
But, immense night tonight!
4 Comments
Good to hear someone else enjoyed the scenario.↓
I am sure there are so many valid arguments about how it could have been better if they had done x,y,z etc, but really it isn't my style I enjoyed it because I went in with no expectations and just let it happen. I was lucky though I did it on 4 toons and not once did it bug out, so that upped the enjoyment for me↓
From what I've read it only bugged out on Alliance side↓
See it just pays off being horde :p LOL↓

A monumental moment for Rapid City's Hodge
By Mike Zhe
Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the July
2010 issue of New England Hockey Journal.
Rapid City Rush center Brendon Hodge (Lynnfield, Mass.) skated out for a shift in the second period of Game 7 of the Central Hockey League conference finals in April and knew he had a problem.
"Something didn't feel right in my face," he said.
Easily explainable. It was just one shift earlier that a nasty hit from behind by Bossier-Shreveport defenseman Clay Plume – a former teammate -- had sent him face-first into the dasher board, a scary moment that resulted in him fracturing three orbital bones.
Plume got sent off the ice for five minutes for boarding. Hodge – the youngest hockey-playing son of former Boston Bruins great Ken Hodge Sr. – might have been forgiven for staying off the ice the rest of the CHL playoffs. But he was right back in action for Game 1 of the finals, wearing a cage facemask for the first time since college and helping the Rush defeat the Allen Americans in six games.
"It took me seven years to get to the finals," he said. "I wasn't going to miss a single second of it."
Hodge was one of a handful of New Englanders who celebrated professional championships, either in North Americaor in Europe. But unlike former Vermontstar Patrick Sharp, a forward with the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks; or even the trio of Keith Aucoin (Chelmsford, Mass.), Chris Bourque (Boxford, Mass.) and John Carlson (Natick, Mass.), who hoisted a Calder Cup with the Hershey Bears, the spotlight on the other guys was a relatively local one.
But it didn't make it any less special.
For the 31-year-old Hodge, who's played seven pro seasons in two leagues and four cities after a standout career at Division 3 Plattsburgh (N.Y.) State, it was an appreciated reward for all those years of long bus trips, low salaries and playing hurt.
And the feeling when veteran Scott Wray handed him the Ray Miron President's Trophy after a Game 6 title-clinching win in double overtime was unparalleled after a season that saw him collect 23 goals and 34 assists, and another 3-9-12 in the playoffs.
"At 31, you're not old in the real world but you're old at the minor-league level," said Hodge. "It seemed the time was slipping away a little. It kind of makes you feel you accomplished something you've been working for your whole life."
Like any good marriage, Hodge's relationship with the Rush was a two-way street. Heading into 2009-10, the fledgling franchise needed Hodge as much as Hodge needed it.
For both parties, the 2008-09 campaign had been a forgettable one. In Rapid City, S.D., it was the first season on ice for the expansion Rush, who play home games in a new, 5,132-seat rink some 23 winding miles from the locale's most famous attraction, Mount Rushmore.
"The first thing you tell (prospective) players is, 'It's where Mount Rushmore is,'" said Rush coach Joe Ferras. "And they say, 'Oh, yeah.' Then, 'Where's that?'"
Nobody was ready to immortalize the team after it went 22-33-9 and missed the playoffs that first year. Playing the first 18 games away from home didn't help, and the talent was young and suspect.
"That year was kind of the lovable losers," said Rush radio broadcaster Daniel Nieves. "We looked back at some of the players, where they came from and where they are now, and it was like, 'Wow.'"
While the Rush were struggling up north, Hodge's career was at another crossroads in the dust bowl. He was in the midst of his second season with the CHL's Tulsa Oilers when his older brother, Danny, was fired as the team's coach. Brendon played out the season, put up 24-35-59 totals in front of 1,200 fans a night and jumped at the chance to play for Ferras soon after he got his release.
Rapid City ranked among the league leaders in attendance, an average of 4,811 per game, or roughly 95 percent of its arena's capacity.
"It was the type of atmosphere I knew I wanted to be a part of," said Hodge. "No bad tension in the locker room at all. We were all fighting for the same thing. I hadn't been in that kind of atmosphere for a few years."
The Rush, which also included Harvard product Jon Pelle, finished the regular season atop the Northern Division with a 43-14-7 record. They kicked off the playoffs with a four-game sweep of Missouri, then outlasted Bossier-Shreveport, with Hodge absorbing the three fractures for the effort.
"It just showed the character of the young man," said Ferras. "He came back and played the rest of the playoffs without missing a beat."
By the time Game 6 of the finals rolled around on May 4 – after two straight wins – there was a sense that something special was close. It got even more special for Hodge when he stopped by a local hotel to meet up with his brother and sister-in-law; unbeknownst to his youngest son, Ken Hodge Sr. had driven 31 hours across country so he could be in Rapid City for the game.
"When you have a dad who has two Stanley Cups (1970 and '72), you try to win some kind of a cup," said Brendon. "It was a joy to do it and have my dad in the crowd."
At 31, the younger Hodge knows his pro hockey days are numbered. He wasn't drafted coming out of a Division 3 school and has never played a shift in the AHL, even. His dad was 35 when he bowed out after a season with the AHL's Binghamton Dusters in 1979-80.
"I definitely want to go back to Rapid City and defend the title," said Hodge. "I've told the guys that we're going to get everybody's best game.
"I can see myself playing two or three more years. I'll give myself until (age) 33 and then get into the real world. But I hear that the real world's not that much fun."
Not compared to Fantasyland, which is what Rapid City seemed like this season.

A background in professional baseball seems atypical when compared to that of most of Chad Ziemendorf's peers. Despite this, Chad has been able to bring many important values from his time as a baseball player into his work as an architectural photographer.
Early in his photographic career, Chad decided to invest in a Phase One camera system with the IQ180 digital back. Chad shares why Phase One has been important to him and his career.
My path as a photographer - Emotion, narrative and intimacy are paramount to my work, all skills that I learned as a photojournalist and visual storyteller with the San Francisco Chronicle and Reuters. I seek to find the larger story within any of my architectural assignments, not simply create a collection of images for a client.
Formerly a professional baseball player in the Cincinnati Reds organization, I have an intense sense of personal responsibility to perform at peak levels everyday. I love to push the envelope and maximize every opportunity. I am convinced that the mental fortitude to keep a balanced emotional state amidst the successes and failures of baseball (and photography) is of utmost importance. My time as a professional athlete prepared me to take on the rigors of professional photography. Through those experiences I grew to understand that our character is not defined by accolades or achievement, but by how we bounce back from failure and become stronger as a result.
My family has always been involved in commercial real estate, both development and brokerage. It seemed like the next logical step for me once baseball was over but I had an intense creative bug that needed to be explored. I spent about a year and a half in real estate brokerage but left to pursue photography full time. I havent looked back.
As a commercial photographer, my sole focus is urban architecture and office interiors. I illuminate and illustrate the visions of architects, contractors and make real estate look its best for marketing firms and developers. My goal is to make the built environment come alive with personality, even make it gesture through dynamic light and composition.
I am truly blessed to be making a living with my passion. My Grandpa used to say, "Pray like it is up to God, work like it is up to you." I take that with me on a daily basis, it is amazing how such a simple statement creates such a profound balance.
My equipment - I use the IQ180 digital back with the Alpa Max technical camera and the Rodenstock lenses for 80% of my work. The Phase One 645DF+ body, the Schneider Kreuznach 80mm and 240mm lenses are also used regularly.
The IQ180 delivers unparalleled image quality. The silky smooth tonalities of the IQ180's ISO 35 give me images that are not only incredibly sharp but also beautifully detailed and noise-free.
I chose this system to ensure that I deliver the very best image quality to my clients, so that at the end of the day I know that nothing has been left to chance and the only thing separating me from creating world-class images is my own creativity.
One of my mentors instilled in me the notion that an image should never reveal more about me as a photographer than it does the subject. I should never shoot to show off a certain technique or make a statement about skill. I only want the viewer to experience my subject completely without distraction, just as I do when I am there. The Phase One IQ180 captures the urban environment with such startling clarity that the viewer can't helt but be immersed in the scene.
On a typical shoot, my team and I stage the scene and capture as many images as possible without jeopardizing the quality of each image. We don't typically set up any lighting due to the natire of the design that we photograph. Most office environmentsare designed with LEED Certification in mind (a certification program from the US Green Building Council). They are built to not only showcase stunning design but also to be energy efficient and earth-friendly. Natural, available light is one of the key components to this type of design so there is usually ample light to work with without adding supplemental lighting.
I look for every opportunity to create the most dynamic imagery possible, to find verbs within the nouns. Anyone can take a picture of a building or interior, but finding dynamic light and the underlying story that inspires the design is where we can elevate our work to a world-class level.
My partner of choice - I couldn't be happier to be a customer of Bear Images in Palo Alto, CA. Jim Taskett and Karla Johnson have guided me on countless shoots and equipment purchases. I am proud to call them friends and partners, not just my favorite camera suppliers. Without their guidance and insight I would be forced to muddle through certain situations on my own, I wouldn't be nearly as effective without their support.
Future endeavors – I am excited to be exploring the world of fine art now that I have established my business and I know that my family is taken care of. I look forward to scheduling time specifically for creating art and exploring my personal vision. Given that so much of my time is spent in the urban environment I suspect that I'll be visiting rural America more often and exploring the small towns of North Dakota and Montana.

- Got A Question?
You leave the detail shop on a busy Saturday. Your staff is neatly dressed, polite with customers, happy and waving to the kiddies. You smile as you drive out the parking lot. Everything is right in the world and your detail shop is a customer-pleasing machine.
Until you pull out and your manager starts to scowl, your cashier begins to ignore clients, and your detail techs are goofing off in the bay. An irate customer makes a scene in front of a lobby full of customers and your employees could care less.
Short of being at your wash 24/7, how can you avoid this scenario? How can you guarantee your customers are treated well during each and every visit?
The answer
Tiffany Gleason is the co-owner of Knoxville, TN-based Mystery Shoppers, Inc. Her business is to make sure your business is operating smoothly and appropriately. She hires a group of people to randomly and discreetly visit your carwash and report on their experiences. Your employees don't know who is grading them or when they are being monitored, but you have the proof positive to show they're doing their job correctly.
"The purpose of mystery shoppers is to help businesses increase sales by assisting in improving customer service awareness," Gleason explained. "Business owners who use our services get a more realistic picture of how customers view their establishment."
Evan Porges, co-owner of Prime Shine Car Wash chain with 10 locations in and around Modesto, California, is one of those business owners. Porges said each of his locations is visited twice a month.
"Because our employees know that at any time they could be shopped and graded on how well they perform, it has had the effect of making the customer service standards much more consistent," Porges said.
The staff members of Prime Shine know they are being mystery shopped, but no one — including management — known when the sites will be shopped or who will be shopping the store.
Rewards play a big part in the program's success. The manager and assistant manager of the site with the highest percentage for the month are each awarded a $100 cash bonus. In addition, Porges said the yearly percentage is used as a part of the manager's overall yearly review process.
The before and after
The real question, of course, is if the mystery shoppers make a difference or if they're just reporting back a grade. According to Porges, it's a necessary part of his operations today.
"The consistency of the wash experience has vastly improved with the introduction of the mystery shop program," he explained. "I would be hesitant to stop doing the shops with as many locations as we operate and being about an hour away from some of the locations. It is a great way to ensure that the systems and procedures that you have established at your washes are actually being done when the manager or owners are not at the locations."
Porges is able to discuss areas where staff is not meeting the company's standards, and also to identify times when employees are going above and beyond expectations. The ability to zero in on these customer service moments is truly vital to his success.
Another success story
Jeff Jurkens, CEO of Octopus Car Wash's Midwest operations and owner of three locations, is another believer in the mystery shopping program. When Jurkens first began using a mystery shop service eight years ago, his carwash scored a 46 percent. "That was completely unacceptable to me," Jurkens said.
"I can tell you from personal experience that any owner not doing a program like this is not receiving the level of customer service they think they are getting."
Jurkens locations are shopped eight times every quarter within two 10-day periods of time. No shopper is allowed to shop more than two locations in any quarter and all shoppers are rotated out within a year. They may be reenlisted at a later date, but this way he avoids getting the same feedback over and over.
Jurkens ties bonus opportunities directly to the results of the mystery shopping program. He shares the quarterly results with all of the staff.
Like Porges, Jurkens believes it is important to continue through with mystery shopping. "If you stop, your employees will eventually return to their old habits. It's human nature," Jurkens stated. "Besides, my general manager and I used to spend a third of our time changing customer service guidelines on a daily basis. Now all we do is read the results."


text: Does anyone have much experience salvaging these? It seems like it would be more cost efficient to merch the items they salvage from and use the money to buy them on the TP, right? Obviously TPing level 80 exotics is more cost efficient, but the wiki says they can drop from fine items level 68 or higher.

Hey chaps,
Quick question. Ive just finished reading ML. I went into the book ready to accept his premise but I had a few specific doubts, and I did not find them dealt with at any point. Quite likely Sam did mention them I am just too dumb to notice- if so please point it out!
Essentially, I cant accept his essential premise that it is possible to objectively have a 'worst possible misery for everone' and a 'best possible well-being for everyone'.
For example, in the latter case, what if the best possible well-being, however that was defined, included a society where gay marriage was illegal, because 99% of the population draw significant happiness from this being the case?
Other issues include, how do we determine which creates more misery, a person who has X amount of unhappiness, or a person who is dead?
Please help!

GPTV VIDEO: City Wells Now in Use
Due to high water use, the city has activated its water wells as of July 30, 2013. Due to this different source mixing with purchased water, citizens may notice a change in taste and odor of the water. The well water is softer and has a slightly salty taste. (Read "Why the Water Tastes Different" for more information.)
And remember, mandatory water restrictions are currently in effect for the city of Grand Prairie.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Couldn't have been better
These were beautiful. And Great quality. I got so many compliments on my save the dates. I WILL be purchasing my invitations, and thank you cards from magnetstreet.com!!
Great amazing
Love my magnets. Great prices and very easy website!
It was perfect! Received many compliments on it! The red matches one of the colors of our wedding. Thank you!
Great Customer Service & Got exactly what I ordered
I love this mini magnet. The color block is great and lets your picture stand out. When I originally placed my order I didn't give any specific instructions on the format of the text in the top color block. The design team sent me an e-mail the next day asking if I'd rather have everything centered. I said yes and another day later was confirming the proof. Having the proof to see both when I order the product, confirming before MagnetStreet starts production and after an alteration was very comforting. I knew exactly what I was getting! Everyone who has received one of these mini magnets has raved -- it's small, attractive and fits us perfectly as a couple!
Just As I Imagined
The magnet came just as I imagined and had designed. There were a few changes I wished I had made to the design, like going with a picture that had a lighter background. Also, I had to scan a photo instead of having the digital copy. I think the picture quality would have been better if I had used a digital file instead of the scanner. Also, I'd recommend going with a font of at least 9 pts, instead of 8, especially for scripted fonts. Besides that, the colors and quality of the magnet were great!

Hi and welcome to my section all about me – Andy Chittock.
I was stationed in Germany with the Battalion and during a scheduled boxing match against the Scots Guards the Commanding Officer saw me with a camera and asked if I would take a variety of shots of the match. From that day on I was the new unit photographer. That's how things are done in the army!
When I left the Battalion in 1993 with all the army photo courses under my belt, I was decided that I wanted to take photography up as a full time career so with a lot of hard work and dedication I became a freelance photographer.I have been working freelance ever since. I have travelled to many places all over the world including Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra leone and Iraq just to mention a few. I set up my own studio at my home with a small darkroom, which are my pride and joy.
When I am not in war zones I will be found photographing some thing military!
Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time and I hope you enjoy looking at my photography.

The mythology and folklore of many nations include characters that are smaller in stature. These miniature humanoid creatures completed impressive engineering wonders, played pranks or performed magical feats. Here, we explore some of these best-known cultural icons.
HAWAII, Kauai
The ancient Alekoko Fishpond can be seen from an overlook on Hulemalo Road, just outside of Lihue. Legend states that the pond was built by the Menehune, Hawaii's mythical little people, in just one moonlit night 1,000 years ago. Fronting the Huleia Stream, the ponds were a necessity for the early Hawaiians, as fish were the main source of protein in their diet. Since 1973, the fishpond has been on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today the menehune are school mascots at numerous schools in the islands, and there is a Menehune Adventure Trail at Aulani, Disney Resort.

The National Leprechaun Museum was designed to engage visitors in the mythology and folklore of Ireland. While it still holds that the only place to see a real leprechaun is at the end of the rainbow by the magical pot of gold, visitors can be transformed into leprechauns through a tapered tunnel and large-scale displays.

BRUXELLES, February 7th, 1938.
C.25/38. (d-f-e)
Secretariat: BRUXELLES, 162, rue de Laeken
Adresse télégraphique - Telegrams - Telegrammadresse
Téléphones: 17,70,36 et 17,70,37
To the Secretariats of the Parties affiliated to the L.S.I.
Dear Comrades,
At its meeting on January 17th, 1938, the L.S.I. Executive dealt with the following questions :
I. Socialist Interparliamentary Conference. The Spanish Socialist Party submitted a proposal to convene a Socialist Interparliamentary Conference in Spain. We are enclosing a translation of the letter to the Executive as well as a translation of the programme drawn up by our Spanish comrades as a provisional proposal. The Executive of the L.S.I. has decided to communicate with the Secretariats of the Parties affiliated to the L.S.I. in order that they may submit the Spanish comrades' proposal to the Socialist Parliamentary Groups in their respective countries, asking their opinion about the possibilities of organising such a Conference and, eventually obtaining the suggestions as to amendments or completion of proposals put forward.
During the course of the discussions at the meeting it appeared that a number of Members of Parliament would be in Spain at the beginning of February on the occasion of the re-assembly of the Cortes, and that it would, therefore, be preferable to hold the Conference, proposed by our Spanish comrades, not at the end of February but at a later date. Also from the point of view of an effective preparation a later date would be more convenient. If Easter or Whitsuntide were chosen, the number of participants would certainly be greater. Therefore, it would be desirable that the Parliamentary Groups, if they agree with the proposal in principle, also state their views on the question of the most convenient date.
We ask the Secretariats of the Parties affiliated to the L.S.I. to let us know the opinion of their Parliamentary Groups, before the end of February at the latest.
II. Coming Meetings of the L.S.I. The L.S.I. executive decided to hold another meeting during April, 1938, and to place as principal item on the agenda the whole problem of the Fight for Democracy. Also it will be decided at this meeting whether an International Conference is to be organised during the coming summer or autumn. You are aware that the last International Conference of the L.S.I. was held in 1933, that is, five years ago, and the last Congress in 1931, seven years ago. The L.S.I. Executive invites the affiliated Parties to examine the question as to whether it is desirable to convene a Conference this year, and to make known their point of view to their delegates who will attend the Executive meeting, without however imposing upon them a definite mandate. The Executive, in fact, is of the opinion that it will be the discussions at the meeting itself on the question of the "Fight for Democracy", which will demonstrate if, and in what measure, it would be opportune to make this problem the principal object for a Conference.

Mental Health Courts are special courts that focus on people who have been charged with a crime and have a psychiatric disability.
The purpose of the court is to deal with the crime in a way that addresses the person's mental health needs. The mental disability is the focus rather than criminal behavior.
Treatment, medical care and supervision, case management, and service referral are primary ingredients of Mental Health Courts.

"Lots of compliments on this beautiful card! Very easy to add our favorite photos and the quality of the printing was amazing! Nice thick paper and perfect amount of space to write a heartfelt thank you."
"We ordered everything from Wedding Paper Divas from our Save the Dates to our Invitations to our Thank You cards and truly we couldn't have been happier with not just the quality of their products but the service with their reps on design questions was unbelievable. Their team went above and beyond to make sure that all our orders were perfect from colors to fonts to wording. What a wonderful company and I will be absolutely using again in the future and recommending to my friends and family."
"These cards are perfect. They're small and dainty but it adds to the elegance of it. The designer was amazing in helping my design come to life."
"I used Wedding Paper Divas for my invitations and thank yous. I have been so impressed with everything, the quality and the customer service. The turn around time from when I placed the order to when I received them was so quick, I'm not sure how it was possible. I will use them for everything in the future. Thanks!"
"We liked these thank you cards, the processing was quick and they arrived right on time. The only thing I would note is that you must keep in mind that the paper you choose can affect the photo quality - if you don't pick glossy, the photo won't be glossy. Just a tip so you aren't surprised!"
