Par Peggy
de French Creek
I washed this set 3 times. I now see pilling and the seams on the pillow cases have come apart. When I received these sheets I was very happy, however, I have learned to wait a bit before making reviews. These sheets do not stand the testof time.

Very Disappointed
Par DIANE
de MARKHAM
I am embarrassed as I had mentioned this offer to many friends, who bought them on my say so. While I love the colour (grey) and how one can mix and match the sets, I am not happy with the quality. The seams have split open after washing, piling makes the sheets feel bumpy (TV said no piling)and I can start to see small holes appearing in them, meaning by next wash sewing will be needed. I bought and suggested TSC as I have bought before and the sheets were fine.When you promote something, please make sure that what you say is true. These are not what they were purported to be. This makes me and perhaps other viewer very leery about future purchases. It's only a good deal if one is happy with the product and from looks of other comments, there are far too many unhappy people. Homesuite take note!

worst sheets I ever purchased
Par s.
de ,n.b.
I purchased this sheets as the showstopper last year. I opened them just a month ago, washed them before using them. One set fell apart immediately, and the 2nd set didn't even fit.What a total waste of money. It makes me think of the quality of other items sold on TSC and I will think twice before ordering again
Par Dorothea the Shopping Channel Addict
de Newfoundland
This is an update to my original review back in August last year. These are the worst sheets that I have ever purchased for the money I spent. I have paid $20.00 for sheets and got better quality than these. $50.00 for sheets and not get 6 months out of them. Both sets are completely falling apart at the seams and you can see right through them. The material in these sheets is either faulty or very cheap, not even fit to use for rags. I will never purchase Homesuite sheets again or anything else from that brand. With all the negative reviews, Homesuite needs to really think twice about there products and how they can learn from this. Honestly every customer should receive a credit of some kind for there purchase.
Nice sheets
Par Cheryl
de Toronto
I got these 2 sets of sheets when they were on as a Showstopper and they are nice. I have washed them twice and have had no trouble with them coming apart as others have experienced. They're soft and fit well on my large 11" memory-foam mattress. I think it was a good deal. I didn't get the color I wanted as that was sold out but just got one color and they are comfortable. It was a good deal as a Showstopper. Thanks.

WORST ever
Par Louise
de Calgary
WORST set of sheets I have ever purchased. Badly pilled after 1st wash. Come on Shopping Channel, send out a credit to all those who purchased based on trusting your brand and product information!

Par Salty
de SALTSPRING ISLAND, BC
These sheet sets are the second time I have been burned by a Home Suite product. I purchased sheets before which were horrific, but thought these looked great, they were tooted on air as fabulous, our own line etc., and yet again we have been burned. These sheets have holes in them now, the seams are pulling apart on the fitted sheet, and they are flimsy like gauze. Shame on TSC for keeping on backing these products up, and then not rectifying problems when people have problems with these "fabulous" products. If there was a no star, this is what I would rate them.

TSC refuses to take responsibility...
Par DEBORA
de MOUNT HOPE
Further to my previous review where I advised that the fitted sheet, on the corner, came completely apart, and I mean completely. The sheets are useless after only 5 months.I sent TSC an email asking them to do something about their faulty product.TSC took a long time to respond and finally when they did respond, they said they can't do anything. I can't return the sheets and they said the manufacturer has no warranty. Wait a minute, I thought Homesuite was TSC's very own product line, I guess not when it comes to standing behind their product and making a "wrong", right.I don't think I'm being unreasonable to expect TSC to do something about a set of sheets that has fallen apart and are useless only after 5 months, but TSC refuse to compensate me or stand behind their product and let me return it and/or send me a new set that won't fall apart.Beware!!! I am extremely disappointed in The Shopping Channel! I thought they would at least do something about their faulty product. I know it's past the 30 days, but come on, sheets should last more than 5 months...and I paid good money for them.

Par Sherrill
de Port Coquitlam, BC
My initial review in August 2013 stated I kept these sheets as I liked the colour. I've used and laundered them now about 4 or 5 times (I have six sheet sets so rotate use) and now not only do the fitted sheets have small holes but the flats do now as well and the holes are VERY noticeable! Bottom line is DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on these sheets.

Matthews lashed the ball into the top corner from 20 yards after a powerful burst forward to edge Celtic into the William Hill Scottish Cup fifth round with a 1-0 win over Arbroath on Wednesday night.
The Wales international's only other senior goal came against Watford, but this was the first one he actually meant.
"I scored one but it was a lucky halfway line cross," the 20-year-old said. "I tried to put it in the box and it bounced over the keeper's head. I didn't mean it, so I can claim this one. It was much better."
Matthews, who joined Celtic 18 months ago, added: "I have waited a while. Luckily I caught it sweet and it went in the top corner.
"I couldn't have caught it any better and the direction of it meant the keeper had no chance.
"I have had a few shots on goal this season and been unlucky in a few games. Luckily for me that one went in and hopefully I can get a few more for the rest of the season."
Matthews set up two goals in Celtic's 3-1 win at Kilmarnock on Saturday, taking his Clydesdale Bank Premier League assists to seven for the season, and has revelled in the freedom offered by playing wing-back in Neil Lennon's 3-5-2 formation.
"I like to get forward and that formation allows me to do so," Matthews said.
"The last two games I have proved I can play both right-back and wing-back. Whatever formation we play I am happy to do so."

Villa / 6 bedrooms / sleeps 12
|Key Info
The farm consists of 3 adjoining apartments in the guesthouse, new construction.
The three adjoining apartments, which can become a unique house. are located in a strategic position, dominant, with a splendid view on one of the most beautiful valleys of the Chianti Storico.
You can see the most beautiful castles in the area: Brolio, Apple Orchard, Monteluco to Lick, Cacchiano, the village of Radda, Vertine, the tower of Montegrossi and in the distance the towers of Siena.
They are built on the main road Monteluco, but poorly transited road which joins the SS 408 "Chianti" after 3 km.
So it comes to apartments isolated but close to an inhabited village and the roads, you do not lose time to get in as many situations km of roads to be traveled to arrive.
The apartments are 70 square meters. Each beautifully furnished consist of 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room, private garden.
Are connected to a total of 210 square meters and 12 persons + 6 also using 3 sofa beds.
There is a fireplace, underfloor heating, reflected light, satellite TV, internet wi fi, and a large private car park.
They are built using the most modern construction techniques for energy saving with provision for solar panels.
Some details of the ceilings are made of wood to recall the traditional architecture.
Spreader is using the pool.
In October 2008 the magazine "Forbes" has defined Gaiole in Chianti "the ideal place to live in Europe", the first of a long list.
E'apparentemente an incredible achievement, a little less if you take into account that within 100 km from Gaiole there are 5% of the works of art from around the world.
We have been programmed about 15 to do in a day, available to customers stored in GPS devices.
- Florence
- Siena
- Arezzo
- San Gimignano / Volterra
- Pienza / Montepulciano / Monte Oliveto Maggiore
- Montalcino / Bagno Vignoni, etc..
Spreader is also planning a day trip to
- Rome
- Assisi
- San Marino
- Lake Trasimeno
Venice would be good to schedule at least one day of rest on site, but if you want you can do that in one day.
The farm Montechioccioli is also ideal for those who "want to do nothing" you can stand to sleep all day, sunbathing by the pool or in the private gardens of the apartments and then, in the evening, go to the village to take a ice cream and enjoy one of the many events, usually free, organized by the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti during the season.
Montechioccioli The farm is situated 450m above sea level, enjoys an excellent climate with a good season throughout the year from a tourist point of view.
The heating is modern, floor, and the rooms are in the energy class A.
Probably it is the late-autumn months (September, October, November) that allow full enjoyment of the area and also save money.
Sports Activities
Montechioccioli The farm is ideal for those who want to keep fit during the holidays, to find a dynamic balance with their body and detoxify from the pace of city life with walks in the woods on foot, by bicycle.
In the area are also organized horse riding.
A professional masseuse is available on request.
In the basement houses the "Private Gym Lorenzo", complete with professional equipment for body building, rehabilitation, fitness in general and a Finnish sauna.
Spreader is accompanied Lorenzo in his daily workouts.
Food - Meats - Wine - Oil - Honey - Cheese
Could be, by itself, the real reason to come here.
The farm uses Montechioccioli product platform of Gastronomy-Rotisserie Chini Ewa Anna "Good Things" in Gaiole in Chianti, which is an offshoot of the historic Butcher Chini, on the spot from afar 1682.
The Butcher Chini was ranked by the magazine "Golosario" as the best butcher in Italy for the year 2011.
She is specialized in the production of meat and sausages.
The Food Chini is part of a project of restoration and conservation of ancient techniques of preparation of traditional Chianti, with an obsessive search of the best ingredients, often grown and grown on their own through the Az. Agr. Montechioccioli.

Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
I agree. My iPad 2 is 75 feet away and fluctuates from 1 to 2 bars. My 2006 MBP has full bars. I lose everything if I go into the back yard while my MBP still has 3 bars. I have the Belkin n900 play N router. Everything is updated on the ipad2. Any fixes?
chrisefaw May 17, 2011 12:13 PM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
Purchased an iPad 2 64gb 3g and wi-fi is very weak. I upgraded my Time Warner Cable internet to their wideband 30/5 speed and my Dell laptop gets 25/4 at the other end of the house. My iPad 2 gets 6/3 at the most. I have an Airport Extreme router dishing out the signal. Unacceptable that these Apple products can't talk to each other any better and allow me to take advantage of what I'm paying Time Warner.
felbuen May 24, 2011 10:28 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
Same thing here,
Very slow connection, and signal in and out all the time. Not with my other diveces, MBP, PC laptops, Android phones, etc.
Come on Steve bring a genious solution to it.
MClassImages May 30, 2011 12:23 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
I'm using a brand new Airport Extreme with Comcast internet, my iMac and MacBook Pro connect perfectly and are both extremely fast and show full bars all the time. All my iOS devices, iPhone 4 and iPad 2, have very weak signal, I have tried almost everything including using Open DNS on both iPhone 4 and iPad 2, still getting a weak signal. iMac and MacBook are in the same room as the iPad and iPhone as well. Might get an Airport Express to see if that will solve the issue. Apple really needs to address this as it has been an issue since the first iPad.

Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
Dear Steve, I returned my Blackberry Playbook the other day and convinced my wife that the IPad2 was the way to go. "It's a mature product with lots of apps", I said. I returned the Playbook because AT&T hadn't created a Blackberry Bridge app and I was having problems launching Microsoft attachements from my email.
Now I'm telling my wife, "Just think of the IPad2 as an entertainment device. You can't expect it to help you with productiviity. I know, It won't pick up WiFi Hotspots that the Laptop will pick up. You can't expect that of a simple entertainment device. No, we can't tether it to our cell phone like we could do with the Playbook. I know we could pick up WiFi connections with the Playbook that we can't pick up with the IPad2, but everyone loves the Apple deivce, so we must just expect too much. Think of it as an IPod, with the occaisional benefit of internet access.", I said.
It's all good though Steve. I was working way too much when I had the Playbook. It is much better to have a device that I can listen to my music on and play off-line games and occaisionally be able to access a WiFi hotspot. I'm much more at peace now and will be happy if you someday decide to allow access to broadband connections that you do not now allow. If not, I will at least be more relaxed. I think success is overrated anyway As long as you were able to be an American success story, I am ok with that. At least I can tell my kids that you were able to make it.

Re: Weak wifi in response to geraldfrommilan
I had an iPad 1 and now have an iPad 2 and haven't had any Wi-Fi issues.
That doesn't mean I'm gloating but rather that in most cases it's a router or interference issue.
I've used my iPad 2 at home, multiple Starbucks, the Apple Store, the Denver airport, and several hotels without issue.
kevin7D Jun 16, 2011 2:18 PM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
I am also experiencing this problem, before I readjust my network setrtings for this ONE device, I need to ask. Does Apple have a fix to this planned?
IStixr Jun 20, 2011 11:36 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
I had the same problem having iPad 2, 16Gt, software version 4.3.3. Tried everything described in this thread. Nothing helped. Very weak wifi signal if departed from router more than 5 meters and constant connection dropping in those areas.
Unfortunatelly it seems like a harware problem. I took the device to 2 of my friends' hause. They both have iPads, same sw version. Their's worked, mine didn't.
I took it to Apple service and I received a replacement in 2 days. This one works now well. I received great service but as I said, only the replacement worked. That's why my conclusion is: hardware problem.
Sorry to all of you having the same problem. I feel the pain your going through.
gatortribe Jun 28, 2011 9:33 PM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
You are definitely not alone. I have the iPad original, and while my MacBook Pro gets 40MBs down/5MBs up along with my iPhone 4, my iPad gets 3MBs down/ 4 up. I have the latest Airport Extreme too, and it happened as soon as I upgraded to 4.3. It used to be really fast. Called AppleCare, they told me "There is no discussions about this on our support community" I was like "I hope your kidding me" because I read hundreds of these stories. He told me I could send it in, but if it did connect, they would send it back. So I kept it and deal with the crappy 3G type connection (sometimes it's .98MBs down)
spin360 Jul 1, 2011 1:07 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to MClassImages
I have the same issue.
I bought the new airport extreme and used it to extend the range of my 1TB TC.
I configured the TC to only be on 802.11n 5Ghz.
what I noticed is that when I'm in my living room,
where my Airport extreme is. I get full bars on the wireless signal with my iPhone 4
anytime I'm close to the TC, the bars drop to 1-2.
RedsoxCA Jul 4, 2011 12:22 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to William Kucharski
I think you're right. I too never have had a problem connecting at home (have airport extreme), Starbucks, airpots, etc. But I'm visiting my brother and oddly my iPad rarely picks up his signal--and if it does it's one small bar. However--my macbook and iPhone 4 get full strength--sitting right next to my iPad. So of course now this whole issue is a problem for me--until I go back home.
RedsoxCA Jul 4, 2011 1:05 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
To me this is just like the reception problem with the iPhone4. When you look at the view count this particular weak Wi-Fi issue is huge--over 307,000 views compared to the others for the iPad. I just got my iPad a little over a week ago so I'm not sure if I should just bring it back. At home it works great with the wifi (I have the Airport Extreme) and in most Starbucks, airports, etc., its been great too. But now I'm out of town staying with my brother and I rarely can pick up his Wi-Fi (he has a new Linksys). But my Macbook and my iPhone are full bars sitting right next to my iPad! How frustrating! So the signal is there--the iPad2 just can't pick it up for some reason. I'm a bit upset because after the whole iPhone reception problem I'd have thought signal issues wouldn't be happening again. I've spent an hour on this forum and haven't found a software solution--so I'm assuming it requires a hardware solution. Hopefully it'll be formally addressed soon. I inserted a pic--notice the iPad at top with "Zermatt" signal at 2 bars while the Macbook has full strength below. And it took me over 15 minutes of waiting to even get the signal onto the iPad!
I put a pic showing the "Zermatt" Wi-Fi with two bars on iPad compared to full bars on my Macbook. AND I had to wait like 15 minutes to even get the "Zermatt" signal on my iPad to take the picture!
Guybrush-Threepwood Jul 4, 2011 3:07 AM
Re: Weak wifi in response to RedsoxCA
Wifi is a funny beast. ANY object in the path of the signal will cause a drop. Each drywall the signal needs to pass through reduces it by 25%. Each brick wall cuts it down by a whole 50%. So you imagine the signal has to pass through 2 or 3 walls how weak it will be.
Forget comparing bars on one device to another. How they calculate will be different and its different hardware. 1 bar on the ipad doesnt mean its weaker than 3 bars on your mac. Its an indication yes, but not an accurate comparison.
Wifi uses the 2.4Ghz band for most. This is the same band as bluetooh, cordless phones, wireless keyboards, mice, wireless tv transmitters and pretty much anything wireless will use that band. So lots and LOTS of interference in your house or coming from other houses. Dont forget people can hide their wireless network so could be networks you cannot see.
Also, the 5Ghz band is cleaner but often gives a weaker signal. Again, doesnt mean its bad, a weaker signal which is clean is better than a strong dirty one.
Try changing the channel. See this article on how to select a channel which is cleaner http://www.geekzone.co.nz/inquisitor/2996. You need to scan the wireless to see what channel others are using. For me I found every router around me was on channel 1 or 11. The default for a lot of routers. So channel 3 is the cleanest for me.

Re: Weak wifi in response to Dr. JB
The fastest and most stable thus preferable internet connection is a wired one. Apart from that wireless technology has possible carcinogenic effects according to WHO's IARC. These two reasons make it absolutely absurd that Apple keeps pursuing wireless.

Re: Weak wifi in response to Guybrush-Threepwood
How does that explain why other wifi devices workin in areas that the IPAD2 will not.
I understand your point about interference, but that would apply to any wifi device on the network in the same exact location.
Wouldnt you agree that it is more likely that the IPAD has an antenna problem or lower power transeiver to reduce battery consumption and thus is unable to pick up wifi signals that other devices can?

Recall Warning: 143 Million Pounds of Beef Recalled
You've probably heard by now, but just in case, yesterday, the USDA recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef. Yes, millions.
The largest beef recall in the US is occurring because Southern California based slaughterhouse Westland/Hallmark — the one that was recently shut down because of sick and mistreated animals — did not receive complete and proper inspections. Due to that fact, the Food Safety and Inspection Service has stated that the meat is unfit for human consumption.
The meat was sent to many federal school lunch programs, as well as several large fast-food chains. They estimate that 37 million pounds have already been consumed, and that no reported illnesses have occurred. The recall is more of a precaution since sick animals pose a higher risk of contamination.

I've been looking around on the net for the various recumbent bikes I might try. I've noticed that some have dual 16" wheels, some 20", and some with 20/26 combos. Whats the advantages/disadvantages of the various configurations?
I've been looking around on the net for the various recumbent bikes I might try. I've noticed that some have dual 16" wheels, some 20", and some with 20/26 combos. Whats the advantages/disadvantages of the various configurations?
16" tires few good tires on the market, there are two or three high pressure tires, few shops stock "good" 16" tires. Dual 16" bikes need large chain wheels, or special drive trains. Smaller tires offer a slightly ruffer ride.
20" Many more "good" tires on the market, dual 20" bikes need large chain wheels, or special drive trains. There are quite a few very nice dual 20" bents on the market.
20"/26" Can use standard gearing, many good 26" road tire to pick from
There are no hard rules on how a recumbent is built, or what is should look like. One builder may build a 16"/26" another a 20"/700 or dual 20's... whatever they think is better. Each has its negatives, and each has its pluses. The most common is a bike built 20"/26"
"When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking." - Arthur Conan Doyle
Smaller tires make for a rougher ride without suspension. I think Sheldon's site has something on that if you want to check it out. But tire selection can play a big part if you get a "not as popular" tire size.
A 16" front wheel permits the pedals to be lower, thus helping to keep the center of gravity low for better handling.
A 16" presents more rolling resistance than a larger wheel, but over 20kph the lower air drag of a 16" more than compensates for the rolling resisstance.
A 16" front wheel does not jump curbs very well.
The larger the rear wheel the smaller the big gear that is in your line of site. My homebuilts prototype #1 is 16" front and 28" rear. Prototype #2 is 16" front 26" rear.
I use regular 40psi. tires in the front. They have smooth tread, are inflated to 35psi and cost $6.99Can or $4.66US. Most of the load is on rear tire anyway.
I have one bent that has a small 20" front and a 26" rear (low weight at less than 30lb). At high speed I find this bike is somewhat wobbly and requires full attention to steer. The bike also does not handle well under a heavy packed load, say for touring but OK for short communting.
My other bike has dual 26" wheels which I find much better at higher speeds, more stable under load (heavier bike at nearly 20kg) and I can get good road touring slicks for it. It saves on on taking extra tubes and tires of different sizes when riding.
There are also bents out there with 24" and 700 (27")size wheels. From what I understand the larger the wheel usually the more stable the ride, higher speeds. From what I've experienced so far the large wheel bent I have handles much better than my small wheel type.
Does this confuse you more?
"More than a little bent!"
My riding will be exclusively neighborhood/subdivision streets and a few bikepaths. Whatever is close to our house.
I have no interest in doing touring or long distance rides on roads. I've mapped out some routes and can easily put together a 10 mile ride going from one subdivision to another. I doubt I will ride more than 10 - 15 miles at a time. It just depends on how this out-of-shape 55 year old body responds to riding.
Planning on using this for a daily exercise routine (I walk the neighborhood now). I am retired, wife is disabled and cannot participate with me in this - looking for a pleasent way to spend some time clearing my head.
Thinking about something like an Easy Racer Sport.
20" front/26" rear is a reasonable configuration because it allows for standard gearing without relying on a Roloff hub or other special gearing and it lowers the chainwheel height (I'm referring to short-wheel base here.) 26"/26" is fine if you're at least 6-foot tall and you're comfortable with a high center of gravity. I've never understood why 16" wheels should appeal to anyone over 10 years old.
Okay, so I'm biased. Deal with it.

Okay, but don't blame us if you find yourself wandering off to ride with the Bent Trail Riders ( http://www.siscom.net/~grindix/btr/ ) on the Miami Valley Trails ( http://www.intellweb.com/trails/ ). Bent riding can become quite addictive, you know!

ADDISON COUNTY — The number of low-income students in Vermont's schools is on the rise, and teachers and administrators reacting to these shifting demographics are struggling to close the achievement gap between low-income students and their higher-income peers.
Schools in the Addison County area, like those around the state, are trying different strategies to approach the problem.
HANCOCK/GRANVILLE — These days, the tiny villages of Hancock and Granville are ghost towns.
At least, that's what they're deemed in educational parlance. When the two towns last year decided to shut down their joint Village School, they joined a growing number of small towns in Vermont that have decided to close their schools and tuition their students to schools beyond the towns' borders.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on April 14 will consider a proposed Mary Hogan Elementary School budget of $5,771,990, representing a 1.52-percent increase in spending compared to this year.
The budget reflects no new programs, nor additional teaching staff. It actually represents a decrease of $87 in spending per pupil (from $13,539 to $13,452). That's in large part because the school anticipates welcoming eight additional students next year, for a potential total of 395, according to Mary Hogan Elementary School Associate Principal Tom Buzzell.
BRANDON — A snapshot can tell a short story, but a photo album can weave a longer, more enriching tale.
That is the philosophy behind the Otter Valley Union High School Moosalamoo Center's concept of narrative report cards versus traditional letter or number grades.
BRISTOL — Mount Abraham Union High School board members are eyeing possible changes to the school's food service program as a way to save more than $100,000.
The board discussed the changes briefly at a Jan. 19 meeting that drew current food service employees who urged board members to consider more than fiscal savings as they contemplate the future of the program at Mount Abe.
BRISTOL — Elementary schools in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union are escaping some of the severe budget cuts wracking other schools in the county, but residents are still projected to see tax rate increases ranging from 3 to 13 cents in the five ANeSU towns if the schools' budgets are OK'd by voters at Town Meeting Day in March.
LEICESTER — The Leicester Central School board has voted to adopt a proposed 2010-2011 spending plan of $1,400,086, which represents a decrease of $8,573, or 0.82 percent, in total spending from the current year.
The board met on Jan. 13 to finalize the budget, which will go to a vote on Town Meeting Day in March.
MIDDLEBURY — It began as a 2009 Arbor Day assignment during which Mary Hogan Elementary School fourth-graders led an effort to plant 16 new trees on school grounds.
But it was as assignment that blossomed into an educational, community-wide endeavor and culminated last week in the young students receiving a statewide award for their efforts, presented to them at the Vermont Statehouse on Jan. 20 by fellow Middlebury resident Gov. James Douglas.
MIDDLEBURY — The ID-4 school board will form a committee to study the feasibility of re-establishing a foreign language program at Mary Hogan Elementary School by the fall of 2011.
The study comes in response to a citizens' petition, signed by 90 Middlebury residents, seeking resumption of world language instruction at Mary Hogan. School officials made the painful decision to drop French classes several years ago, primarily due to financial reasons.
ADDISON — The Addison Central School board on Thursday eliminated the jobs of the school's music teacher and librarian, among other cuts, to cut spending and avoid paying a higher per-pupil tax penalty in the 2010-2011 school year.
The result is a total proposed decrease in spending of $84,700, or about 6 percent, to roughly $1.8 million. Addison voters will decide the fate of that proposed ACS budget on Town Meeting Day.

Belgica antarctica
|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (July 2012)
Belgica antarctica is a species of flightless midge, endemic to the continent of Antarctica. At 2–6 millimetres (0.079–0.24 in) long, it is the largest purely terrestrial animal on the continent, as well as its only true insect.[1] Its flightlessness may be an adaptation to prevent wind from blowing it into inhospitable sites.[1] It can survive the freezing of its body fluids and has a life span of two years; with the two growing seasons it is able to accumulate the energy needed to reproduce. With its deep purplish black coloration it is able to absorb heat to survive. It is also able to tolerate large changes in salinity and pH and can survive without oxygen for 2–4 weeks. Belgica Antarctica can survive dehydration up to 35% of its normal original body weight. "It's the largest species that has adapted to living on the continent year-round, adding that other native animals, such as seals and penguins, spend much of their time in the water. The midge is also the only insect known to inhabit Antarctica.

Videos help reduce the bounce rate and help keep people on your site longer. If you embed a couple of 5 - 10 minute videos, there is a very good chance that people will watch them. This will increase the "average time on site" time.
And videos are a good way to get people to pause at your banners. Instead of just scrolling over the page. When you put a banner next to a video, the video makes the people pause to watch the video and gives your banner more exposure time. I usually put a banner directly under the videos. That way as the video is being watched, the viewer is also seeing the banner.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin
I forgot something - awhile back google had a "Video Sitemap". Meaning you could put together a special sitemap and tell google where you had videos embedded in your post. The video sitemap is different then a regular sitemap. Google provides a template, that you take, edit and submit to your google webmaster tools.
I dont know if google still supports the video sitemap feature, but it would be worth looking into.
So if you want to use videos to help improve your site ranking, then look into that sitemap.
If you haven't quite figured out if you should have videos on your site try asking this question - Should I use pictures on my site?
Today using videos on your site is almost the same as pictures where 10 years ago. It attracts more attention, can give more information, people get more of what they are looking for and people are media driven and expect it.
I will add that you should have videos that add value whether it is quality to match the site or something to attract visitors. Don't just post junk unless your site is about that junk!
putting some annoying video sometimes help lol... if you site is about sex, then videos of strippers really can help.
Will wrote something about this in another thread.
It does not help SEO directly, but it increases the overall authority of the page, and adds more information to the given subject.

From Daniel Blomdahl
Posted June 13, 2006 at 08:56 PM
I am somewhat familiar with the Jaffe method. It is a video program designed to provide a way for homeschoolers and missionary children - or other people who don't have access to violin instruction - to teach themselves to play.
My personal opinion on the Jaffe method is, if you're a missionary family in the Congo with no other way to learn, it is a God-send. Another reason people may chose to use the Jaffe method is because it is created and taught from a Christian perspective. But if you have a desire to have anything other than an introduction to the very basics, you really should seriously consider private instruction.
Just my $0.02.
But I'm really interested in your take in it. After all, you've already done it a little bit it seems.
It is a good alternative for beginners. It is probably a little cheaper than a teacher. It is also a quicker method than learning from a teacher. You learn songs right from the beginning. I would like to take the course in person but it is good right from the tv. If you have any questions I'll try to answer them.
On the other hand, perhaps the risks of learning the "wrong" way (for lack of a better word) are justified when you're in a missionary family working abroad, or, like me, unable to find a teacher, for whatever reason. It's a tough question. But my own personal experience has always been that teachers teach better than videos.
As far as fast forwarding past things, if a teacher is telling you something, it is because they see something you don't. The sooner you're willing to submit to everything they say, the better you will progress. I'm preaching to myself here, too.
Also, I have a huge problem with the vast majority of students learning positions or vibrato in just the first year of playing. The foundation is just not built yet.
If you define, as you do, foundation as being "holding, bowing, reading music", well you could already read music from your previous instruments, and that's a skill anybody could learn, holding is just the act of keeping the violin up while balanced on your collar bone, and bowing is just drawing the bow across the strings.
I could teach anybody to hold the violin and bow in about an hour. Would you say then that their foundation is built?
Holding the violin is the most basic element of violin playing, and one that is more or less correct in every violinist. It is significantly more difficult to learn to move your fingers around the fingerboard, in all the combinations and positions.
I seriously doubt your ability to have learnt "bowing" from any video. Bowing is quite possibly the most difficult aspect of violin playing, and one that professionals struggle with their entire lives. I doubt any professional violinist will tell you that his bowing technique is "built".
My first teacher claimed that he had taught me a solid foundation, and indeed I could play a lot of repertoire with relative ease. My second teacher then worked on that foundation quite a lot and worked a lot on musical aspects of playing (you realize that violin playing is about playing musically, not just hammering out approximations of the notes on the page, right?)
When I arrived at my present teacher, she declared that I had absolutely no foundation whatsoever. That, while I could manage my way round a lot of repertoire, and had just finished learning the Tchaikovsky concerto, and I had received 95% for my Grade 8 Royal Schools Exams, of which most of that missing 5% came from my poor aural results. But for her, I had no foundation whatsoever.
For her, and of course for myself now too, foundation is the ability to move your left hand around the fingerboard with the greatest efficiency and ease (and in tune), with full independence and co-ordination between the fingers and other parts of the left arm, and between the left and right arm. It is also the ability to effortlessly move the bow arm in whatever combination is required by the music, and the ability to paint shades and colours and articulate, and to co-ordinate vibrato shadings with the bow arm.
As you see, her definition of "foundation" is technical mastery, with the "real work" supposed to be on the musical interpretation.
Sorry if I'm coming across rather harshly but I, and possibly many other members on this board, am rather annoyed by your assumption that from a mere video, you can claim that your foundation is "built" and that you know when a foundation is built because you played two instruments before the violin and therefore you know what the definition of foundation for violin is.
I have also played piano, and trust me that it is incomparable the amount of work to get to a "basic" level of piano and violin. In six months on piano you can have a fairly good foundation because it the main difficulty in piano (technically) is simply to move the correct finger at the correct time, as Mozart put it. Anybody with good co-ordination can reach a good level on piano, at least technically.
Piano does not require nearly as much hearing as violin does. In piano you are either playing the correct note or the wrong note, it is just a matter of how hard you hit the note and how long you hit it for, that is ALL! Ok, and whether you use pedal or not.
I wish you good luck in double majoring in piano and violin, but please don't expect to get in if you have only six months of tuition (was that also from a video?) on piano and tuition on violin entirely from a video series. Unless you are some Rubinstein/Heifetz combination it is highly unlikely, and you will need to get some intense tutoring in both instruments before you will be up to level.
Again, please don't take offense, I am just being very frank and am trying to help you not to mislead yourself.
One of the pros is not having to practice. The lessons are about an hour and a half. You practice on two or three songs each lesson, and go over and over and over and over and over and over and over the song. So you don't have to practice.
I have been playing piano for 6 years. I think I have enough knowledge to know whether or not I can pursue this. I also know my limits. But at PCC they require all music majors to take either violin, viola, cello, or bass. You think because that you've played longer than me that you know more. ANd that might be true but I think what I can challenge my self with. And I know what will make me progress. I have many comments from people in my church who said that I am playing great for the time I have been playing. This one lady played for all her life and her father made a couple of violins and a cello. She said that I am great, even though I am using the video program. It is a great program , taught by a master teacher.
In 1993, Dr. Jaffe moved with his wife to Pensacola, FL at the invitation of the president of PCC to record his strings method on video, with the idea of making this method available to homeschool students who had little or no access to another strings program. There are only two foundational years of instruction which is to be followed, for the interested student, by private instruction.
The programs have been used in this way in homeschool settings as well as in private schools where there is a live teacher working through the videos with the students. My son took both years of Jaffe strings and is now in his third year of private cello lessons. He is doing very well, having won the Pensacola Sonata contest for the past two years in cello for his division. My daughter is in the second year of Jaffe on the violin. She also is doing well.
There is no expectation that students will be instructed by the videos for all their training, but that they will get foundational instruction in a setting that will keep them interested in playing. It also gives the lone homeschool student access to a group of video classmates, which may encourage them to practice more than by themselves.
I hope this helps give a better overview of the purpose of this specific type of video instruction.

Service-Learning +
In service-learning courses, students spend time partnering with community organizations learning from and with community members while contributing to the community sites' work. The community component is tied to course goals and objectives, and focuses on critical reflection, civic responsibility, local community needs and the enhancement of academic skills. Service-learning is a form of experiential teaching that combines classroom learning with participation within the broader community.
Community Work and Learning partners with a number of academic departments on campus to offer service-learning courses. Currently, there are four different types of ways students engage in community through a course: one time service-learning, ongoing service-learning, immersion-based learning, and project-based service-learning. Community Work and Learning staff work with each faculty member to determine best fit for their course(s).

Be honest: When's the last time you cleaned your flat iron, tweezer or makeup brushes? Yeah, it's been a while for us too. But as much as disinfecting your beauty tools can feel like a chore you just don't have the time for, it's a habit we all need to get into.
Think about it—beauty tools are a breeding ground for gross stuff like bacteria that can cause acne and irritation. Plus, the cleaner your tools are, the better they'll work and the longer they'll last.
Above, we've rounded up easy and effective ways to keep your everyday hair and makeup tools fresh.

The problem with the Maquis was that the source of their conflict, the DMZ, was now 75 years away. The Maquis were the enemies of Cardassia, not the Federation, and whatever negative feelings they had for the Feds wasn't going to blind them to the fact that these were the only familiar folks around for decades. It wouldn't have been productive for the two crews to be that combative to one another the whole way through.
And even if they were, the tensions would've died down after 1-2 years. If they kept it up after that, then they had to have serious mental issues and they'd likely never get home.
What the show needed was another plot to drive the stories beyond "Going home" which could never be accomplished because...the show would be over.
Voyager lacking an actual plot beyond "lost ship" is one of the core problems. And "Lost Ship" isn't a sustainable premise.
I do agree that the tensions would die down after a couple of years, but imagine the stories you could get out of that 2 year period.
I'd say after things become more comfortable, it's the ideal time to pull a "Year Of Hell" scenario. Have a prolonged, shocking tragedy that Voyager barely survives. Have the ship be pushed to it's limits and many valuable crewmembers perish. The surviving crew would come out of this a solidified unit, regardless of where their original loyalties were.
Then you have fresh drama with Voyager needing to find assistance to get back on the road, possibly taking on exhiled alien outcasts to fill out the crew, which may lead to a clash of cultures etc. It is always going to be difficult to introduce new supporting players to Voyager, recurring enemies will never be given the time they need, so something like this might keep it fresh.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Marlon Byrd gave the Mets a winning end to their extended stay away from the Big Apple with a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning as New York edged the Colorado Rockies, 3-2, at Coors Field.
Byrd cracked a two-run shot off Matt Belisle (4-5) with the Mets trailing 2-1, and another solid bullpen effort completed a successful 7-4 road trip.
New York relievers gave up just two runs in 34 1/3 innings (0.52 ERA) during the trek, and LaTroy Hawkins (3-1) earned the win Thursday with a scoreless frame behind Jeremy Hefner, who allowed just two runs -- one earned -- on five hits over a six-inning start.
Trying to bridge the gap to the ninth, Belisle surrendered a one-out single to Daniel Murphy before Byrd crushed the seventh pitch of his at-bat over the wall in deep left-center to give the Mets a 3-2 lead.
"(Belisle) missed his spot and it came back over the plate," Byrd said. "I just put a good swing on it."
Scott Rice struck out the dangerous Carlos Gonzalez to strand a runner in scoring position in the eighth, and Bobby Parnell closed out the makeup game from April with his 14th save of the season.
Michael Cuddyer was thrown out by Byrd trying to extend a single into a double to open the ninth, spoiling an otherwise special night for the 34-year-old outfielder.
Cuddyer etched his name in the Rockies' record books with a clean, line drive single to center field leading off the second inning for his 24th straight game with at least one hit.
"Any time you can put your name in the record books, it's a good thing," said Cuddyer. "I'd trade it for a win though."
Cuddyer later scored on Todd Helton's sacrifice fly, and it was 2-0 when Wilin Rosario came across on Josh Satin's throwing error later in the frame.
Nolan Arenado had made a terrific barehanded play at third base in the top of the inning, which started a slew of highlight-reel plays behind Tyler Chatwood. Corey Dickerson immediately followed by robbing Zach Lutz of a base hit with a diving grab in center, and Colorado limited the Mets to one run in the fifth despite the visitors putting their first three hitters on base.
Arenado forced out Satin at home with a stop to his left and a pinpoint off- balanced throw to the plate, and after Hefner pushed a run across with a groundout, Gonzalez raced into foul territory and slid near the fence while catching the final out.
Chatwood struck out the final batter he faced, Juan Lagares, to leave the bases loaded in the sixth, but it was his 103rd pitch and he was pulled the next frame having allowed one run on four hits and three walks.
Cuddyer's hitting streak is the longest in the majors this season. He broke
Dante Bichette's team record that ran from May 22-June 18, 1995 ... Mets third
baseman David Wright did not appear in a game for the first time this season
... Six of Byrd's 12 home runs have come in June ... The Rockies have lost
three straight and eight of their last 10 games ... Colorado had won the
previous seven games against the Mets.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

DH doesn't want to "take away your kid" BM... But it's S*** LIKE THIS!!
In order from most recent:
Ok so I just learned, from BM's good good friend, that she got beat up a few weeks ago by her next door neighbor. The friend felt uncomfortable telling me the whole story. And I didn't push. Anyways, it was about 3 weeks ago the fight happened. No one has seen BM in the complex since that day. DH's brother lives right down the street from BM's parents and said he's seen her and SS there more than usual lately. And a friend of his reported that he saw BM and her dad moving things into the parents house.
The "friend" told me today that she is moving back in with them but still retaining residence at her apt in order to keep her section 8 voucher.
Also, dh saw the judge today to tell him that BM did not hand over SS for his court ordered visit. The judge plans on giving her jail time.
I'm just so fed up and frusterated with the games she plays. Dh's intentions were never to take SS away like she thinks he is. He just wanted to be his dad!! Not just a child support sugar daddy for BM's drug habits.
But this is what it's come down to. If he ends up getting custody he plans on asking for BM to have supervised visits because of her threatening to leave state and his fear of her extreme bad mouthing.
Dh is devastated that it's come to this. He used to love this chick. And he thought she used to love him. But not she's just filled with hate and resentment towards him and uses his son to destroy him.
I'm sorry its come down to that. I hope that she turns around and actually starts doing what is best, but if not I also hope the judge follows through with what he's said.
Quoting saywhat2102:
All the best! Keep an open mind! She may not be "on her game" right now but that's momma! Ya know?! Glad he followed through and went to the judge!
Quoting Sunivondea:
Me too. If anything it shows the court that he's cooperative and she's not. We don't even have to have dirt on her. She's digging herself a grave.
Quoting saywhat2102:
All the best! Keep an open mind! She may not be "on her game" right now but that's momma! Ya know?! Glad he followed through and went to the judge!
Sorry it's come to that, but hopefully your skid will be better off.
Terribly sad when people use children as pawns!
Good luck!
So when is the judge going to give her jail time? Do you guys have to go back to court for that? So sorry that she didn't allow DH his visitation, she'll get what's coming to her though....

America's powerful National Marine Manufacturers Association or the NMMA as we have come to know it, could claim to be the world's largest and most dominant recreational boating industry body.
The ''brains trust'' behind the MIami International Boat Show - NMMA president Thom Dammrich (right), vice-president Ben Wold (left) and Miami show manager Cathy Rick Joule.
Yet in what may come as a surprise to some, it boasts a relatively short history, having been established just 32-years ago (in 1979).
Prior to its formation, various industry bodies across the nation staged boat shows, but there was little in the way of a concerted front to promote the boating lifestyle as is done today.
The NMMA is no 'small potato', it boasts full-time staff of more than 80 people and in addition to its headquarters in Chicago has offices in Washington, DC, New York, Boston, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky and Miami.
Ben Wold, Executive Vice-President to President Thom Dammrich, has seen it all.
Ben Wold with Miami show manager Cathy Rick Joule.
A native of Chicago, Ben's initial boating industry involvement pre-dates the NMMA
While still at college he began working as a junior 'gofer' assisting on boat shows in his home area.
He was well-placed to join the NMMA (as an operations coordinator) on its formation and has remained there ever since.
Thom Dammrich, Ben and their staff are responsible for the organisation and presentation of 18 recreational boat shows and the industry exhibit IBEX.
The shows comprise major events such as Miami, New York, New Orleans, Atlantic City and even Toronto (Canada).
Ben Wold is an unabashed supporter of 'the boss', Thom Dammrich.
'Thom has now been with the NMMA for 11-years and he's done an outstanding job,' he said.
'He's 'out there', he's impressive behind a microphone and has won plenty of admirers throughout the industry,' he added.
The New York Boat Show is one that has caused the NMMA some sleepless nights (even in the city that never sleeps!).
Initially, the association lost its previously scheduled dates to various trade show and saw attendance drop from 92,000 to about 35,000 in just six-years.
Fortunately, NY is back on line and this year attracted 45,000 visitors with Ben declaring sales as being 'very good.'
On the current state of the industry, Ben exudes confidence.
'There's a positive energy in the air,' he said.
'People are feeling good again and that's important for us all.
'Interest in the boating lifestyle is improving and sales are definitely on the up and up,' he added.
America's largest selling boat more or less mirrors that of the Australian market, a 17'6' (5.36-metres), outboard-powered half-cabin.
'However, deck boats or pontoon boats are on fire at the moment,' Ben explained.
'They're ideal for the extensive lakes of the North American continent and they are selling like there's no tomorrow,' he added.
On the strength of the NMMA, Ben Wold gives much of the credit to the association's staff.
'We are very fortunate in that sense, we have achieved a nice balance of talent and many in the organisation have 20, 25 and more years of hands-on experience,' he explained.
