Muniemaker Judges Cave
4 1/2 x 47 - Natural - Single
Muniemaker Judges Cave cigars have been the favorite, all Connecticut-grown and made cigars for over 115 years. Since the days of the horse drawn trolley, bowler hats and 5 cent beer, Muniemaker Judges Cave cigars have been best sellers, and when you smoke one you'll understand why. They have a distinctively peppery, 'all-American' flavor, plus, they're reasonably priced, making them one of the better budget cigar values we carry. Buy American and smoke American by ordering a box of Muniemaker cigars now.
I don t know who writes these reviews but many times I have purchased Cigars some claim are Great , Nice Smoke etc etc and they sucked, bad taste, come unwrapped while smoking ,nhard to draw. I was going to return these but realized that would cost me more money and I was not going top spend another dime on these. Famous would have taken them back and given me something else I know but I just didn t want to bother. I have something else on order and will probably just through the rest of these away.
Wow... a 74 review, really?!? These are not going to taste like tobacco from the islands for Pete's sake. These are most excellent Connecticut tobacco cigars. The flavor is more chocolate like. As far as machine made cigars go... Muniemaker and National Brand cigars, like Farnam Drive, are the best there is. Judges cave are my favorite of the line.

"A journey of growth through the arts – come along for the ride." That invitation provided the theme for Darke County Center for the Arts' just completed season, but also pretty much sums up DCCA's goal for their youth programming.
Students in each grade of all local public schools are annually treated to performances by outstanding artists who routinely incorporate learning opportunities into their shows, usually unbeknownst to the students who only know that they are enjoying an entertaining experience. DCCA's 2013-2014 Arts In Education series featured diverse musicians offering their unique perspectives on teaching language arts, history, geography, science and math.
Kindergarten through third grade students enthusiastically sang and clapped along, responding to the songs and stories shared by "Wild Carrot" during the week of Sept. 16-20. Named after the common weed Queen Anne's Lace, "Wild Carrot" performs music firmly rooted in the solid earth of tradition that continues to bloom and flower with each new generation. The multi-talented duo of Pam Temple and Spencer Funk easily engaged their audience while surreptitiously teaching the origin and development of a broad variety of musical instruments and the evolution of musical forms.
When Carpe Diem String quartet presented their "Numbers Game" program Oct. 7 through 10, Darke County high school students gained insight into the inter-relationship between math and music, as well as to how they are affected by the rhythms and tones derived from those relationships. Skilled musicians Charles Wetherbee, Amy Galluzzo, Korine Fujiwara and Carol Ou quickly enticed audiences to not only listen for rhythms as well as pitches based on numerical scales, but also to have a very good time while seriously engaged in analytical thought.
Upon taking the stage at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on March 6 and March 7, Alpin Hong immediately captivated his audience of junior high students. Entitled "Movies to Games, Classically Trained," Alpin's program investigated how music affects listeners, and demonstrated how classical composers used rhythm, harmony and melody to emotionally influence their audiences.
During the week of March 17 through 21, "Mr. Blue Shoes" took fourth- through sixth-graders on a never-ending journey that began long ago in West Africa. The students experienced how powerful emotions are communicated through music as they sang and clapped and danced and learned about the blues, from its ancient roots through its many present-day branches.
The exciting ride through DCCA's season also included three memorable Sunday afternoon stops at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall for the Family Theatre Series. Prices for Family Theatre shows are kept as low as possible, enabling families to learn and grow together through the arts without the necessity of a side trip to the bank. Theatreworks USA's production of Seussical the Musical opened the series on Jan. 26 with a show that taught admirable life lessons, but was also a lot of fun - just like the Dr. Seuss books upon which the show is based.
Lightwire Theater's unique retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling used stunning electroluminescent puppetry to bring the eternally relevant tale to brilliant life on March 9. Paired with Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Hare," the stories seemed as applicable today as when they were first spun.
Coping with what happens when things go wrong provides life lessons that benefit humans of all ages. On April 6, Adventure Theatre MTC's fun and funny production of Five Little Monkeys, based on the books by Eileen Christelow, helped children learn the joy of counting and rhyming while teaching that when rules are broken, consequences result.
Last summer's Missoula Children's Theatre residency July 29 through Aug. 3 provided another exciting joy ride for youngsters while they developed lifeskills through participation in the arts. Following a week of intense rehearsals, two terrific performances of MCT's The Tortoise vs. The Hare charmed audiences, continuing DCCA's tradition of offering local youth the thrilling opportunity for hands-on participation in theatre.
Although DCCA's GR8 C Sun has reached the end of the road, the glorious experiences gained will continue to illuminate the path to the future for the hundreds of youngsters who went along for the ride.

With effect from the issue of October 3, 2006, the format of The Hinduwill migrate to the National Industry Standard Size. That is to say, as a consequence of web width (physical paper size) reduction, the print area will be reduced from a width of 36 cm to 33 cm and from a height of 53 cm to 52 cm. Through this change, your newspaper will
Join the National Industry Standard Broadsheet Format Move in line with international trends of newspaper formats getting handier and more sleek
Make more efficient use of newsprint, thereby `saving trees.'
However, for practical reasons, this migration of The Hinduto the new format will take place in a differentiated way. Eleven printing centres representing two thirds of our 1.14 million net-paid circulation will go for both paper size and print area reduction straightaway on October 3, 2006. The Chennai printing centre representing a third of our circulation will go for print area reduction but will retain the existing paper size until some time early next year.
Naturally, we have had to make certain design adjustments. Worked out in consultation with our master designer, Dr. Mario Garcia of Garcia Media, these simple, elegant and detailed design adjustments have enabled us to offset the print area reduction and assure our 4.06 million readers (National Readership Study 2006) that there will be no sacrifice of editorial content.

A child classified for special education these days may learn in an out-of-district specialized school, a self-contained classroom, a resource room, an inclusion class, or some combination. Describe the experience your child has had with these placements -- the successes and the failures -- and let's create a resource to help other parents figure out where works for what.
Please Note: This feature is for telling stories and sharing experiences, but it's not very good for asking questions -- the way the entries display on the page makes it hard to follow responses. If you need advice or assistance, PLEASE post your plea on the forum instead. Thanks!
At a Loss
- I have a child with brain damaged suffered at birth. She was not expected to walk,talk, sit up, roll over, speak, etc. She does all that and more. She began receiving ECI at 8 weeks old until she aged out, then began attending a specialized preschool until starting kindergarten. She is now in first grade in a different school. Her IEP mandates an 1:1 health para. Her previous school followed the IEP, openly communicated with me, considered my knowledge and understanding of my child, considered my advice as I did theirs and extraordinary improvements were made in ALL areas. This year new school her IEP has not been followed and she as well as our entire family has suffered greatly. We were told from day one that a para had been assigned to her. She did not have a para assigned to her until January. In February the para was changed. Her teacher has been out sick more often than she has been in class. Her para is out for weeks at a time. They do not implement management needs.

Out of District placements are NOT more
- Out of District placements are NOT more costly. The tuition for ODP include ALL costs while public schools fail to mention the additional costs to taxpayers such as teacher pensions and teacher health insurance. See: http://www.asah.org/pdf/asah_cost_analysis_final.pdf

Is A Placement Suitable for My Child?
- Today I received the papers for a self-contained class with partial placement. I feel like this has been thrown in my lap all of a sudden. I have spoken to the school board about how to respond to this issue. My son has Autism but has always been in a regular class with assistance. He is on an I.E.P. His grades are mainly B's and C's. He has friends he plays with in this class. I've been told to speak with the Special Ed teacher directly. We had our Annual Review Meeting a couple of weeks ago when they told us about the placement. Now all of a sudden they have an opening. We want our son to be happy. He is happy in a regular class with his peers. The part that is confusing it is midway in the year and they are trying to make changes. They are trying to put him a Lifeskills class. I think my son needs to learn to read and write. He gets lifeskills at home.

504 instead of IEP
- My nephew's on an IEP. He has autism. He is also exceptionally bright. My sister's school is trying to convince her to take him off the IEP and put him on a 504 Plan in order to put him in the gifted program. Gifted children are on IEP's at our school so why wouldn't there just be IEP goals/objectives to cover both areas. Fine motor where he struggles and cognitive where he soars? UGH!!!
- —Guest Jennifer
Inclusion success
- My 7th-grade with PDD-NOS is finally having a great year of inclusion. The ingredients: 1. Small team - not a different assistant every day. 2. Room of his own located close to the regular classroom. This makes it easier for the mainstream teacher to communicate with the rest of the team. It also allows flexibility, so my son can join the class not only when planned, but also on short notice, for example when an interesting opportunity shows up. 3) His personal room is also located next to the group room, so he can also participate in other kids' special ed lessons if relevant. 4. Recess with organized activities that are open to all. He plays floor hockey and even won a dance contest. The only sad thing is that it's his last year at this school. In the falll we will have to start from scratch at a different school, but at least we know what works.
- —NorwayMom
can't get students tested
- I teach in Texas. Over the last two years I have been told "we are not adding students to special ed" when I ask for student testing to diagnose learning disorders. It is heartbreaking to watch my students struggle and I feel like this blanket policy may be illegal.
- —Guest teacherintexas
Consider everything, but trust yourself
- My son is both gifted and learning disabled. This is a wicked combination, especially when it comes to school placement. He was accepted in an inclusion class at a highly selective school in NYC. Now they can't support him adequately. They recommended a self-contained class, but this wouldn't be right for him because he would feel negative about his abilities, tends to be easily influenced and would miss his friends in mainstream education. No matter how much individual attention he got in the smaller class, it wouldn't be worth it. The school pushed pretty hard, denying him additional services in his inclusion class. I've finally learned to stand up for myself -- and for him. I'm terrified of confrontation, lawsuits, disagreeing with so-called experts. Considering what's at stake, though, I'm willing to take the risks. The principal dislikes me now, which is sad, but I did what I had to do for my son. I strongly agree with Elizabeth.
- —Guest Elizabeth Alexena
our kids deserve compassion
- I was increasingly frustrated by our home school district's lack of compassion for the special needs students...fitting a square peg in a round hole...came to mind so often when sitting in an ARD meeting. Then personnel changed at all levels, with new special ed administrator/staff/principals and what a big difference that made for my students! Now, instead of constant retraints and no academic progress, the resources of the whole school is used to help with a student's needs. The quiet library was utilized for 1:1 work and is miraculous. Everything changes with each ARD and this time for the better. Whatever the diagnosis or program, a compassionate environment for true individual learning is 'right' and is wonderful.
- —Guest hopernch
Mainstream and Special School
- For my 10yr old daughter mainstream did work well when we lived in Wales and it was a small village school, however upon moving back to England my daughter attended a larger class and the support was almost non-existent. For her the move to a special needs school has been fantastic. She has renewed confidence and even enjoys going to school, although just like any other child does like to find out when the holiday time is and there is no school.
- —Guest marion
I second Elizabeth
- My ADHD, bipolar, and now confirmed Asperger's 10 year old has "not qualified" for an IEP x2 years. Now I'm getting daily calls because her behavior is out of control. I did TONS of research (probably used a ream of paper printing!) and have started to stand up to the school to get her the help she needs. A friend of a special needs child recently told me "Remember, YOU are the person with the most power when it comes to your child! Don't let them push you around, saying they can't do this, etc..." and I finally decided she needs more than they're giving her, and I'M going to be the one to make sure she gets it!!
- —Guest Yomiko
How to find what is best for my son
- My son has been in special ed now for 5 years been diognosed with bipolar and severe learning disabilitys he does not do well in a regular school he has been in a very structured school and small class size and done very well he is now back at regular school in special ed department and is back to not doing well. I have asked to update our IEP based on this information and Im not sure what to ask for he is overly and easily stimulated and esculates to anger easily in stressful situations. and some times for no reason.
- —Guest Katrina16
my two cents pt.2
- Sit back and see how good of a match this class has a potential to be. I had a student do this in June, and his adjustment period has been significantly shorter than students with similar personalities. And finally, visit the classroom and offer to help all the students. The children love it, the teachers love it, and you will probably love it too! Especially if you're in my class! Any comments or ideas can be sent to my email email@example.com Thanks for listening!
- —Guest sped teacher
my two cents
- It sounds like there are a lot of knowledgeable parents. I wish all of my parents were as informed and willing to push for their child as the parents here. Unfortunately, it is more common for my parents to drop their child off and not even say goodbye and to never return notes (even though I include them in English and Spanish, and have a bilingual paraprofessional who will read or clarify anything my parents need). If anyone has any ideas on how to help my parents be more involved, it would be greatly appreciated. On the other end, let me tell you what I recommend. Bring your child to school on the first day of school, and plan to stay for at least 30 minutes. This helps me get to know your child, see your interactions, and gives me the opportunity to ask questions, especially if your child doesn't talk. Also, When you are deciding on placement for your child, come visit and bring your child along. Stay for an hour or so. Let your child be included.
- —Guest sped teacher
Never trust the school over yourself
- My son is 9 years old. He has a learning disability. When he started school at age 5 teachers and personel came to me about my childs developmental delays. He ended up with an IEP, and for 2 years was resourced by an ec teacher. I trusted that the school would do there job since they saw his need. But that teacher did'nt and I started to realize it in mid 1st grade. To kind to make anyone mad I just would say things in a nice way. Well I learned the hard way, you be nice and your child pays. They have tried to make me feel like I am in denial, but I know my child has potential. I have learned it is a fight and I guess always will. If you know early your child has learning issues , get a diagnoses early. The school want do that for you. The diagnoses is the only thing that will help your child and will help give you the tools to help them learn to there potential. When you disagree with placement speak up, you are the only one that will fight for your child.
- —Guest Elizabeth
Remember the "I" in IEP
- My oldest son has been in a self-contained, 15:1:1, Gen-Ed with 1:1, Gen Ed with RR for specific classes, has used a SpEd teacher for certain areas, etc. Like Claudia said, it is an ever changing process. The best thing a parent can do is educate themselves on the laws and regs for their state. The schools will not do this for you--unless it tends to suit their "agenda" for your child. IDEA is the MINIMUM a school must offer a child with special needs. Trust your gut--you know your child BETTER than ANYONE ELSE! My son just made HIGH honor roll for the first time ever; so maybe good ol' Mom knew what he needed better than anyone else working with him after all. It has been a long battle--but well worth the results. The problem is that could all change next year. That's why they have annual reviews!

"Excellent Lagos holiday rental for families with children"
Just the right amount of space for us (2 adults and 2 children aged 3 and 6). Excellent floorplan so the children could go to bed at one end undisturbed, while we watched TV etc in the evening. We really loved the pool area and we enjoyed the extremely well maintained gardens and our own 3 private verandahs.
The location is peaceful and secure, and works well if you dont mind using the car to go to the beach, restaurants etc, which we didnt. Shops and other amenities are a short car journey away.
The caretaker Colin was friendly and approachable and only too happy to help with questions.
Overall we had a fantastic time and will be returning!

Parma coach Roberto Donadoni has spoken of reports of a bust-up with Antonio Cassano.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports Cassano had a blazing row with his teammates during a training session, then carried on abusing Donadoni and director Pietro Leonardi.
"I don't think there was any outburst from Cassano," Donadoni told the official club website after Parma's 1-1 friendly draw with Carpi.
"Leonardi will say more on the issue next week. If the players said what they said, it's because there wasn't any problem like that.
"I don't know where these stories come from and in any case, whether they are positive or negative, it is right that we keep our issues in-house."

Bollywood actress Richa Chaddha, who will be seen in a cameo in Anil Kapoor's TV series "24", has no plans to do television full time.
"I won't be entering the TV industry because I don't think any young, busy actor will have time and commitment to give to TV. At least I don't have it at the present stage. I am doing a cameo in '24'," Richa told IANS.
"It will be suicidal to do TV right now. It is not like the west where actors can have careers in films and TV at the same time. I am talking about successful film actors. I don't think I have the commitment to give to TV. All I could spare was what I needed for '24'," said the actress who has been seen in films like "Gangs Of Wasseypur" and "Fukrey".
The show "24" is based on the American series of the same name. It has been written by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Anil.
Talking about the show, she said it will change the face of Indian Television.
"I wanted to work with the production. I know how hard Mr. Kapoor is working. He believes that this is the future of television. It is a series that will change the face of Indian TV from the saas-bahu soaps to something, which is a series kind of thing," she said.
The actress did not reveal her role in the show.
"I can't talk about it. That decision is with the makers. As they seem fit, they must reveal the character. It is interesting... something that someone has not seen me do before," she said.

I sort of understand where she's coming from unlike in the west where there is no discrimination between tv actors and movie actors they can be flexible and do both. Also shows in the US for example run season by season hence at the most 20-24 episodes each season after which they go on hiatus for a little while and then summer shows come on...during this hiatus tv actors either take time off or work on movies. If this sort of change could come to India with tv...it will open doors a whole new audience who prefer different genres then those currently provided with Indian tv.
its huma qureshi's photo not richa chadda...
Haters: Think before posting your comments. She never said anything wrong about TV. All she said was that TV requires a lot of time and that too on a continuous basis.
I just don't understand why take it personally.

There are long lines at polling places, but they could be longer. More than a third of Americans, an estimated 46 million, voted before today. That's 35 percent of the expected turnout of 133 million. But none of the ballots will be counted before tonight.

This Artist Creates Indoor Clouds By Controlling Environment
Jan 5, 2014 Cool! 15 Comments
Whether you consider it sculpture, installation, performance or photography, if you see the art of Berndnaut Smilde in person, don't blink – his artwork only exists for a moment. In a relatively normal room or hallway a small cloud seems to materialize from nothing. As quickly as it emerges, though, the cloud dissipates and is gone. Very carefully controlling factors such as temperature and humidity, Smilde creates these small man-made clouds and photographs them. His work playfully disrupts normal indoor spaces, bringing a part of the visual language of the outdoors within. In this way, his artwork transforms the space it works in, infusing a sense of mystery into otherwise banal spaces.

Kvitova, Wozniacki win openers at Dubai
She's set to meet Marion Bartoli in the second round.
Williams showed in 2012 that she is back to her best, winning Olympic gold, Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the season-ending WTA Championships. That run of success has come as she brought in Frenchman Patrick Mouratoglou whom she credited with bringing "a lot of calm to my game."
"I've obviously had some talent. It's harnessing that talent and moving in the right direction," she said. "The only other (people) able to do that were my parents and Patrick is continuing that job ... It's a good fit. I'm a little intense and I can be a little crazy on court. It's all a balancing act."
Williams said her father remains involved in her career, calling her before every match to offer guidance.
