Phenomenal MS66 1796/5 Half Dime, R.6, Likely Finest Known1796/5 H10C MS66 PCGS. V-2, LM-2, R.6. The years 1795 and 1796 were busy and productive ones for the fledgling U.S. Mint. Director Henry DeSaussure--continuing his dual missions to produce circulating gold coinage and to improve the design of circulating silver coinage--employed the noted portraitist Gilbert Stuart in the summer of 1795 to fashion a new portrait of Liberty to replace the unpopular Flowing Hair design on silver denominations. From those sketches, artist John Eckstein prepared obverse device punches, and Chief Engraver Robert Scot prepared dies conforming to the Mint Act of 1792. The new Draped Bust, Small Eagle design was introduced first in 1795 on the silver dollar. The Mint also coined its first silver dimes and quarters in 1796, and the first gold quarter eagles made their appearance. In 1796 the new design was employed on all five silver denominations, from half dimes through silver dollars. Many of these new coins and new designs were produced in extremely limited numbers, and the year overall is notable for producing some of the rarest U.S. type coins.
Although no 1795 half dimes with the Draped Bust motif were coined, a 1795-dated obverse die of the new design was produced, then overdated with a 6 to create this rare LM-2 1796/5 variety. That obverse was paired monogamously with a single reverse die. A second non-overdate obverse was also paired singly with a different reverse, creating the LM-1 variety. Those are the only two die marriages known for the year; both featured a weak B in LIBERTY from a defective letter punch. The well-known LIKERTY "variety," with the top and bottom of the B weaker still, is technically a late, lapped die state of the LM-1.
This spectacular coin is uncommonly well brought up in the centers. The mint luster is bright, and the reverse fields display a semi-reflective gleam. A few shallow, horizontal adjustment marks are seen in the center of the obverse. The only marks of any note on either side are a couple of light abrasions in the lower right obverse field, which may be useful to the future pedigree researcher. The obverse shows light rose-colored patina, while the reverse is mostly pale lilac with rose-golden accents around the margins.
This is a phenomenal example of this overdate, a rare coin in any grade--much less the memorable MS66 condition of the present specimen. Although for many years the finest graded specimen at PCGS was a single MS64 coin, the current online Population Report shows an MS66 as the finest known of the LM-2 at that service by two points (10/06). The second-finest at NGC of this variety is a single MS63 coin. There is also a single unattributed 1796 half dime at NGC graded MS67 : That piece is likely the much more available LM-1. While we cannot be certain whether this NGC-graded MS66 1796/5 coin and the PCGS LM-2 in the same grade are in fact the same coin, the sudden, near-simultaneous appearance of the same spectacularly high-graded and rare variety at both services leads one to at least consider the possibility that the pieces are, in fact, identical, and that the coin was submitted to both services. Suffice it to say, the present offering certainly appears to be tied for the finest certified piece, if indeed we cannot say with certainty that it is the single finest graded at either service. Before the advent of certification, a couple of MS64 examples of the 1796/5 changed hands in the late 1970s and mid-1980s. One piece in a Stack's auction (10/1985, lot 5) brought $50,600, while an example in a 1979 Bowers & Ruddy auction (11/1979, lot 229) brought $60,000. The Eliasberg specimen, an MS61/62 (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996, lot 895), brought $28,600. An MS62 example in Bowers and Merena's "Rarities Sale" (9/2002, lot 173) described as "flatly struck and striated across Liberty's hair and on the lower right reverse" brought $25,300. The PCGS online Price Guide lists the 1796/5 at $57,500 in MS64, while it is unpriced in MS65 and finer grades.
In the dozen-plus years of Heritage's auction archives, we have offered only seven pieces, including an MS62 and an MS60 as the only Mint State examples. This spectacular and spectacularly rare MS66 R.6 coin in today's heated market should see feverish bidding from both type collectors and early half dime specialists.

Wednesday December 29, 1999
Denzel Washington's career has not lacked for exceptional roles; he's been nominated for Oscars and even won one. But nothing really prepares us for what he does in "The Hurricane." With power, intensity, remarkable range and an ability to disturb that is both unnerving and electric, it is more than Washington's most impressive part, it sums up his career as well, encapsulating the reasons why he's one of the very best actors working in film today.
That this role would be good for Washington was no surprise to the man himself. He tried to buy the rights to former middleweight contender Rubin "Hurricane" Carter's stranger-than-fiction life story nearly a decade ago, and he told eventual co-writer and co-producer Armyan Bernstein, "Just know that I want this, and I'm always going to want this." Once Washington got the part, he trained as a fighter for more than a year and lost enough pounds to physically transform himself into the lean and deadly boxer with a cobra's instinct for the kill.
Given this, it's regrettable, if perhaps inevitable, that the rest of this film is not up to the mark set by Washington's work. Co-written by Bernstein and Dan Gordon and directed by the veteran Norman Jewison, "The Hurricane" is fairly standard middle-of-the-road fare, simplistic, conventional, and, when the camera is not focused on Washington, lacking in things to hold our attention. Still, with a story so full of twists it's hard to believe it wasn't invented (and, as with "The Insider," some of it was), a certain amount of interest is built in.
If you're more a refugee from the counterculture than a boxing fan, Hurricane Carter will be familiar from the Bob Dylan song about him featuring classic protest lyrics like "This is the story of the Hurricane, the man the authorities came to blame." For Carter was falsely convicted of a bloody triple murder in Patterson, N.J., in 1967 and served nearly two decades in prison before a jaw-dropping series of events ended up winning him his freedom.
"The Hurricane," to its credit, is an ambitious film, as witness the complicated back-and-forth structure its screenwriters have come up with to hopscotch through several decades of the boxer's life.
In what looks like a stylistic nod to "Raging Bull," Carter is introduced via a black-and-white re-creation of his 1963 fight against Emile Griffith. With his trademark goatee and hostile stare, Carter was intimidation itself in the ring, someone who, as he later says, would "take all the hatred and skill I could muster and send a man to his destruction."
Next we see Carter behind bars, willing to put his life on the line to protect the manuscript of the autobiography he's written in prison. With that book, "The Sixteenth Round," published in 1973, Carter discovered writing as a weapon--"more powerful than a fist could ever be."
Years later, a copy of that book falls into the hands of Lesra Martin (Vicellous Reon Shannon), a Brooklyn-born teenager living in Toronto with three socially conscious Canadians (John Hannah, Deborah Kara Unger, Liev Schreiber) who have taken an interest in his welfare. (And if that sounds inexplicable that's just the way the movie presents it.)
Pompously prompted by one of the Canadians ("Sometimes we don't pick the books we read, they pick us"), Lesra begins to read "The Sixteenth Round," enabling us to see, via flashback and voice-over, the circumstances of Carter's life and why he ended up in prison.
Many of Carter's on-screen difficulties seem to stem from a "Les Miserables"-type vendetta against him by the fictional Det. Vincent Della Pesca that began when Carter was a boy of 11. (According to an article by Selwyn Raab, the New York Times reporter who covered the original case, several aspects of Carter's personal and legal history have been changed and simplified.) Della Pesca is played by Dan Hedaya, best known for his portraits of Richard Nixon, and his character is so blackhearted and devious he makes the former president at his worst look like Kris Kringle by comparison.
Never an easygoing individual, once Carter is imprisoned for murders he didn't commit as a result of Della Pesca's machinations, he focuses on not allowing himself to want or need anything. "Freedom came," he says, "in not having anything they could deprive me of."
So it's next door to miraculous (yet true) that this hardened convict both read and responded to a letter Martin sent him after finishing the book, and that the Canadians the young man lived with became seriously involved in the movement to free Carter, even if the film makes them more significant players than they were.
It's in dealing with these Canadians that "The Hurricane" is at its weakest. It's almost painful when the camera moves from the magnetic Carter to a trio of blander-than-bland individuals who hardly seem real. In fact, the problem is they're not.
According to "Hurricane," an excellent new authorized biography by James S. Hirsch about to be published by Houghton Mifflin, between eight and 10 Canadians were involved with Carter, not three, and both the group's dynamic and relationship to Carter (particularly that of Lisa Peters, played by Unger, who later married him) was much more psychologically complex than the film felt comfortable getting into. Still the awkward and stagy treatment of the Canadians does no one any favors, and edges the film's story into standard inspirational territory much more than it deserves.
Fortunately, "The Hurricane" has the honesty and skill of Washington's performance to combat its tendency toward tedium. The actor's work is especially impressive not only because Carter was a terrifying exemplar of barely controlled fury for much of his life--when he looked at you, you knew you'd been looked at--but also because the experiences of his life ended up changing him in not always foreseeable ways.
It's Washington's gift to be able to connect us with Carter even when he's at his angriest and most hostile and to make all the stages of his gradual evolution distinct and believable. He even takes what could be a cliched scene, Carter's personality splitting into three parts during a particularly harsh stretch of solitary confinement, and makes it an unforgettable moment. This is the last great performance of 1999, and arguably the best of the lot as well.

Hello, I'm new here. I'm just in a dilemma whether to circumcise the baby if we had a boy. How about you? Would you circumcise your baby boy?
My boyfriend and I are choosing to do it. We feel like he should look/be just like daddy. Although NOT looking forward to the healing process I've read about.
My son is, both of my nephews are (my sister asked my advice) and if this LO had been a boy, he would have been too. It's right for us and our family, our lifestyle. I've never met a man that regreted that he was circ'd but I did have a dear friend in high school who wasn't and it was horrible for him. He mentioned MANY times over the years how he wished that his parents had had him circ'd as it would have made his life much easier for him. I also think that dad's opinion should have some sway and every man in my life (which is a LOT as I have a HUGE family and mostly male friends) is happily circ'd. Honestly, the look of a non-circ'd man turns me off.
I find it weird that so many women are overly concerned with their children's future sex lives... kinda creepy to me. I'm more concerned with preventing teen pregnancy and diseases by discouraging early sexual experiences!
Neither my DH nor my family circ. I'm having a girl but if we ever have a boy we won't be doing it. There is just no good reason for it.
Welcome baby Eleanor - 5/21/13
DH and I were the first in our families to choose to not circumcise.
While I was pg, I didn't really think about it at all. I just kind of felt like that's what everyone I know does, so why would I do something different? But then I saw a show on TV which made me start thinking about it and encouraged me to investigate it further. (Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t episode on the subject, but I don't know if that lends me any credibility here.)
We did some research and didn't find any compelling evidence that there were negative effects from leaving the penis intact. Although it was all either of us had ever known (DH from first hand experience, obviously) we just didn't feel that there was enough justification to do it. "Because it's what we know" and "That's what we've always done" just weren't enough for us.
Our son is now 3 years old and I have barely thought about our decision since then, except when I am asked about it or a discussion like this one comes up. We have had no issues with his intact penis at all. Zero difference in how we diapered, how we bathed him, how he cleans himself now. None. And he still has all his parts.
This is a very personal decision, and often faith is an important part of that equation. All I can say is that it is worthwhile to look into it and think about it a little before making a decision.
When you expect whistles, it's flutes. When you expect flutes, it's whistles.
I breastfed, does that mean that I have to force my decision on every mom I see, because I do know that breast is best, no because I don't have that right to make that decision for them. And they have the right to make their own decision without fear if being persecuted.
I would not go to the whole network to get information bc it is very biased to the decision that they have made.
Also if you know anything about the female boy you know that cutting off the clitoris or the labia minor and major is not going to prevent UTIs bc the clitoris and the urethra are two different parts in the vaginal area. Yes girls to get UTIs more frequently, it's all bc of anatomy. Our urethra is shorter and much closer to the anus. If you don't wipe from front to back you introduce bacteria into the urethra which then travels up and multiplies creating the infection. So anyway using UTIs as a reason for femal circumcision or genital mutilation does not work.
There are so many choices you have to make as a parent, some may end up being the right ones and unfortunately some may end up being the wrong ones. But we should have the right to make the decision that works best for us and OUR kids.

WALLA WALLA — Wa-Hi's girls soccer team defeated Mid-Columbia Conference rival Hanford, 3-2, Tuesday after battling through two scoreless overtime periods and taking the match in penalty kicks, 5-3.
The victory improves Wa-Hi to 2-1 in league and 2-2 overall.
Kiana Molitor scored the first goal for Wa-Hi (2-1 in league, 2-2 overall) on a Marie Arceo assist.
Hanford's Monica Rowley provided the equalizer.
Wa-Hi's Lexie Swenson made it 2-1 on a Maggie Callan assist.
The Falcons tied it with a last-minute penalty kick goal to send the match into extra minutes and, eventually, penalty kicks.
"This is the best game that I've seen these girls play," Wa-Hi coach Jesse Cruz said. "We did everything that we've been practicing. We moved the ball so well, and we were communicating really well. We are really doing all of the right things. We've just got to keep it going."
The Blue Devils visit Pasco Saturday at 1 p.m.

Patriots conference calls
Patriots players had the day off today -- and will take Halloween off, as well -- as the team enjoys its league-mandated bye week with a light schedule. The Patriots will practice just once this week, on Thursday, before getting an extended weekend and then returning next week for the second half of the NFL season.
Tuesday, however, did include the weekly conference call with coach Bill Belichick, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.
Among the highlights:
-- All three coaches said they'll take advantage of the bye week and look inward. "You want to get better every week, you always want to try to improve," Belichick said. "This is a good opportunity for us to look at some things that we can do better going forward, but also looking back at maybe things that we could spend more time on to try to improve."
-- Belichick was asked what instructions or reminders he gives his players as they receive some rare in-season time off. "Use good judgment, be careful, come back with a fresh attitude, be ready to go," Belichick said.
-- Fresh off a 45-7 win against the Rams, McDaniels said the game plan worked well. "When you go into any week, you hope to put together a plan that gives your guys a chance to go out there and execute and play fast and hopefully be productive," McDaniels said. "And then the players to go out and play the way they did, it always makes you feel good."
-- The only negative was the first-series touchdown (on a 50-yard pass) given up by the defense, which Patricia addressed. "I certainly don't think you want to start any game, or any drive for that matter, giving up points. That's our goal, to not allow them to score, and unfortunately we didn't do a good job of that on the first series of the game. Our guys battled back, really tried to get things corrected."

Vehicle bomb kills 6, injures 11 in Afghanistan
December 16, 2010
By ARNEWS
Related Links
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Dec. 16, 2010) -- A vehicle filled with explosives breached a combat outpost in southern Afghanistan Sunday, killing six 101st Airborne Division Soldiers and wounding 11 others.
The casualties occurred when a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) collapsed a building on a COP still under construction in the Zhari district of Kandahar Province. A platoon of the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment shared the outpost with Afghan forces.
Maj. Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), answered questions about the attack during a teleconference Tuesday with reporters on Fort Campbell, Ky., from his headquarters at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.
Campbell said the vehicle was packed with an estimated 1,000 pounds of explosives, but added that the incident was still under investigation.
"The Afghan forces tried to stop him with escalation of forces," Campbell said about the suicide bomber driving the VBIED. "It got through them. It stopped right outside the COP and exploded."
The explosion blew down one of the walls of a building on the outpost, Campbell said, explaining that all of the Soldiers killed had been inside the building which collapsed.
The 11 wounded are all expected to return to duty, Campbell said.
The Soldiers at the combat outpost are "working through" their grief Campbell said, adding that he and the division's command sergeant major plan to attend a memorial service Friday at the combat outpost, located in Howz E Madad, Afghanistan.
"They're not going to let this stand between them and getting the mission done," Campbell said of the infantrymen.
"The Soldiers went right back out and did some operations to attack what they thought potentially were the guys that worked to plan this (attack)," Campbell said.
The Soldiers killed were:
-- Cpl. Sean M. Collins, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii
-- Cpl. Willie A. McLawhorn Jr., 23, of Conway, N.C.
-- Spc. Patrick D. Deans, 22, of Orlando, Fla.
-- Spc. Kenneth E. Necochea Jr., 21, of San Diego, Calif.
-- Spc. Derek T. Simonetta, 21, of Redwood City, Calif.
-- Spc. Jorge E. Villacis, 24, of Sunrise, Fla.

Wait, WHAT?Paws said:How do people forget there was a tech demo for FFVI on the N64?
It was probably one of the most returned games of all time simply due to the fact that it was one of the most purchased games of all time - up to that point.Is there a proper breakdown of sales anywhere for FF7? I seem to recall plenty of stories when it launched, where it was selling like crazy (probably because of the graphics) but that it ended up being one of the most returned games of all time.
Tifa would totally end up looking like Lara Croft.Of course, if they really wanted to troll everyone as Anna suspects, they'd just have Eidos Montreal do the FFVII remake. Oh imagine the nerd rage. Makes me hard just thinking about it.
I don't care about an HD remake, I want it on the Vita.7thCircle said:But Dragon Quest VIII has no textures to upgrade.
But there are of course resolutions to upgrade.7thCircle said:But Dragon Quest VIII has no textures to upgrade.
Man that is a hilarious yarn, I needed that. Thank you sir!SiliconNooB said:FFVII doesn't need remaking IMO, it has held up much better than FFX.

Historian, author, and urban park ranger Jenny Price makes her case for throwing out the well-tread "save the planet" mantra in favor of a new environmental approach stemming from social justice, a re-contextualization of nature, and even satire. In particular, she explains the beauty she finds in recognizing the nature of the concrete Los Angeles river. As she wraps up, Jenny discusses how her satirical approach to environmentalism has gotten her into trouble involving a hit man.

Great I love Italy in this mod! The next version of the mod will be damn awesome, keep up the good work guys!
Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
We are back after a week-long break with our second update of the month. Today we are showing the Italian Army with two brand new weapons of war, the first of which is the Italian Fiat M11/39 medium tank.
Posted by spitfire05 on Mar 28th, 2012
Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.
We are back after a week-long break with our second update of the month. Today we are showing the Italian Army with two brand new weapons of war, the first of which is the Italian Fiat M11/39 medium tank.
The Fiat M11/39 was an Italian medium tank that saw action in both Italy and North Africa from 1939-1944. While over 100 of these armored vehicles were produced, they did suffer from considerable drawbacks. The first of which were with the armament. The main 37mm gun was mounted in the hull, and thus could only traverse a small amount. The other weapons included dual 8mm machine guns mounted in the turret. While these could be rotated and operated by one man, the turret itself was still very small and had manually-operated controls. While the M11/39 was somewhat successful against the earlier, Mk. IV British tanks, it was largely outclassed by the later, heavier Allied ones. The Fiat M11/39 was made by Sorken and exported by Kev4000.
Our next piece of equipment originally started its life as a French gun, but was eventually adopted by the Italians and became known as the Cannone da 105/28.
The Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider was a French, 105mm artillery gun that saw action in both World War I and World War II. After 1918, France sold many of these guns to other countries, including Italy where it was renamed to Cannone da 105/28 and saw service until 1943. Some of these artillery guns were also produced in Italy, under license.
We would like to give a special "thank you" to the Battlefield 1918 and The Great War development teams for dontating this exceptional piece of equipment to us. The model was created by Regulator and textured by Don Durandal. You can visit their ModDB page here.
Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is DocPerry. You can view the winning submission here.
We are now accepting entries for the week of March 25th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here.
That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel channel, our public forums, and/or our Twitter and Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news.
Great I love Italy in this mod! The next version of the mod will be damn awesome, keep up the good work guys!

CCSS Materials, Apple's ConnectED Initiative
Anne Wujcik — Friday, October 31, 2014
Capstone chose the perfect venue - the School Library Journal Leadership Summit - to debut "School Libraries Matter: The Changing Role of the School Librarian," a short film it produced with the help of educators across the nation. Watch the film at http://bit.ly/1nzvID3.
Educators are getting access to more Common Core materials. Achieve released 50 lessons rated Exemplar (well-aligned with the Common Core and ready for immediate use in classrooms) or Exemplar if Improved (aligned, but require some improvement in one or more dimensions of the rubric). The materials were submitted by states, districts, partners and educators and were reviewed and rated by the EQuIP Peer Review Panel, a group of expert reviewers who have been trained to apply the EQuIP Rubrics and quality review process. Publishers and developers might want to check out some of these reviewed lessons to get an idea of what characterizes highly-rated materials.
ASCD announced the Common Core Resources Project on iTunes U. The Project is a curation of instructional resources and assessment sample items that will help educators successfully implement the CCSS and teach effectively using iPads. The project features 23 iTunes U courses designed by teacher teams comprised of Apple Distinguished Educators, members of PARCC Educator Leader Cadres, and ASCD teachers.
Apple announced that 114 schools will receive ConnectED grants, fulfilling its $100 million commitment to ConnectED. Every student at the schools will receive an iPad, teachers and administrators will get an iPad and MacBooks, and every classroom will be equipped with Apple TV. Read More »
Bridging the Word Gap
Anne Wujcik — Friday, October 24, 2014
Last week the White House, along with Too Small to Fail and the Urban Institute, hosted an event focused on bridging the word gap. We've known for 20 years that during the first three years of life poor children hear roughly 30 million fewer total words than their more affluent peers, putting them at a distinct disadvantage not only for school success but also for long-term health outcomes, earnings, and family stability. During the event the Administration announced a coordinated effort by the Department of Education (ED), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to help parents address this critical issue.

Privacy Pledge
Anne Wujcik — Friday, October 17, 2014
Last week, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) and the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) announced a K-12 school service providers Pledge to safeguard student privacy. A small leadership group supported the launch by signing the Pledge. Over the next several months, SIIA and FPF will solicit additional support from school service providers and work to make educators and parents aware of the Pledge and the industry's commitment to protect student privacy.
SIIA and FPF built the Pledge around a dozen commitments regarding the collection, maintenance, and use of student personal information, including not selling student information, not targeting advertising based on student behavior or profiles and using data only for authorized education purposes. These are all things most school service providers are already doing. The Pledge is a proactive effort to focus attention on "good behavior," detailing industry practices that not only meet but go beyond existing federal requirements. It is also meant to encourage service providers to more clearly articulate their practices. Transparency and clarity can go a long way in building trust among educators and parents.

Educator Support for the Common Core
Anne Wujcik — Friday, October 10, 2014
There are several surveys and polls making the news this week, focused on the implementation of the Common Core. Surveys are always subject to interpretation, but I think the message is pretty clear at this point. It's interesting to note that during EdNET the Common Core was hardly ever the focus of the discussion. It was, however, the assumed given, a defining element of classroom instruction and pedagogy. While the politics of the Common Core will continue to be divisive, classroom and district realities are more positive, focused on moving forward and getting the job done.
The teacher's voice is captured in "Teachers' Views on Common Core State Standards." This survey was fielded by Scholastic and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in July 2014, a follow-up to the third edition of the Primary Sources survey of America's teachers that was conducted in 2013.
Superintendents' views are represented in "Understanding Perspectives on American Public Education" based on a Gallup/Education Week survey, the second of three surveys Gallup has planned to track and understand superintendents' opinions on important topics and issues facing education.
"Common Core State Standards in 2014: Districts' Perceptions, Progress, and Challenges," from the Center on Education Policy, is based on a nationally representative sample of school districts in Common Core-adopting states. CEP has been conducting research on the Common Core with district leaders since 2009. Read More »
In the News
Anne Wujcik — Friday, September 26, 2014
MDR's EdNET Conference kicks off this Sunday in Baltimore. The registration list shows healthy representation from both long-established education market companies and start-ups and entrepreneurs. I'm looking forward to seeing long-time friends and meeting the many new players. For those of you unable to attend, we'll be sharing information on trends and insights shared at EdNET in future issues of the News Alert.
Just a few things to be aware of this week.
Congress has passed a Continuing Resolution that will fund FY 2015 government operations through Dec 11, 2014. Funding levels essentially flat with those of FY 2014.
For anyone here in Chicago, Startup Weeekend Education kicks off tonight, Sept 26, at 6PM at National Louis University, the site of last year's successful inaugural event.October is Connected Educator Month, the third annual celebration of professional collaboration, designed to help more educators get proficient with social media.

Learning Games, PDK/Gallup
Anne Wujcik — Friday, September 19, 2014
Today marks the last day of Operation Play, the weeklong game-based learning initiative. Organized by our friends at Filament Games, the event was designed to celebrate those innovative educators who are implementing game-based learning in their classrooms. It featured social media giveaways, a video case study series, educator podcasts, a game-based learning community and of course, learning games. Operation Play partners included BrainPOP, GlassLab Games, MIT's Education Arcade, Institute of Play, iCivics, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, GamesandLearning.org, WorkingExamples.org, the Gaming in Ed Conference of Learning Revolution.com and edWeb.net There's still time to get a glimpse of the goings on a the Operation Play Resource Center at https://www.filamentgames.com/operation-play .

Another CR; Cyber Security Awareness Month
Anne Wujcik — Friday, September 12, 2014
The new federal fiscal year starts on Oct 1. That means Congress has to do something about the FY 2015 budget. No one wants to see a government shutdown in an election year. On Tuesday, Hal Rogers, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, introduced a short-term Continuing Resolution that would fund federal programs and services at the FY 2104 spending rate of $1.02 trillion until December 11, 2014. The bill was crafted to win support - there are no controversial riders or significant changes to existing federal policy - and was expected to pass in both the House and Senate. There are no changed to anything affected the Department of Education and its budget, so it will be business as usual for the next several months.
A vote was expected on Thursday, but the process is paused right now while Congress decides how to deal with the President's request for funding to support the effort to defeat the Islamic State militants. Congress will get this CR passed. The lessons of the last government shut down are still raw. It's likely that another CR would be passed before the December expiration date, leaving any final appropriations legislation for the new Congress to deal with in 2015. Read More »
ESEA Flexibilty Gets More Complex
Anne Wujcik — Friday, September 05, 2014
ESEA Flexibility seems to get more complicated by the day. Of the 34 states that applied for a waiver extension, 22 states have been granted extensions for the 2014-15 school year. It seems likely that the remaining 11 extension applicants will get their extension letters soon, though Arizona and Oregon are ranked as "high risk," mostly because of problems with their teacher evaluation systems. Oklahoma became the only state to have its waiver extension request denied. Washington state had its waiver revoked back in April. Washington needed existing state law to be amended to require teacher and principal evaluations to include student growth on state tests. That legislation failed early in 2014. But now that the Department of Education has pushed back by one year the timeline for incorporating student growth on state assessments into the new teacher evaluation systems, Washington state education officials feel that the extra year may have allowed them to work out the legislative roadblock. Meanwhile, some news outlets are reporting that Oklahoma's governor is considering suing the Department of Education over its waiver denial. That has the potential to become a big problem.

Waivers for the ESEA Waivers
Anne Wujcik — Friday, August 29, 2014
Somehow this piece of news slipped by me. In mid-August, Rep. John Kline, Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Senator Lamar Alexander, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions have asked the Government Accounting Office to initiate an investigation of the ESEA Flexibility (waivers) initiative. In their letter to the GAO , the two Republican leaders asked the agency to study the criteria used for waiver determination, the changes states have made to comply with waiver requirements, the average time, resources and legislative action required to seek and maintain waiver approval, and some of the requirements surrounding implementation of the teacher and principal evaluation systems. Republican have long complained that the Department of Education has used the ESEA Flexibility initiative to establish new requirements that are not authorized by Congress and step well beyond the bounds of the current legislation. Kline and Alexander pointed out what they see as uneven application of the requirements as the Department goes about approving waiver extensions, especially around the new educator evaluation systems.

PDK/Gallup and EdNext Polls
Anne Wujcik — Friday, August 22, 2014
Two polls were released this week examining the publics' attitudes about American education. Though a lot of attention has been paid to the half dozen or so question devoted to the Common Core Standards, both PDK/Gallup and Education Next (EdNext) cover a broader range of topics. PDK will be publishing the results of its 46th annual PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools in two sections this year. The first, published this week covers American's opinions on the Common Core State Standards, student standardized testing, international comparisons, school governance, and school choice. A report scheduled for October will focus on teacher preparation and evaluation, support for reforming America's schools, student well-being, and preparing students for college and careers. In its eight version of its national poll, EdNext asked respondents about their knowledge of and evaluation of American schools, school spending, school choice policies, personnel policies, Common Core Standards and college readiness. The PDK/Gallup poll provides a lot of historical context, allowing readers to see how opinion has changed over time. EdNext probes more deeply on some questions, developing a context within which to understand the original "Agree" or "Disagree" response. Read More »

It's playoff time: Do you know where your season-ticket czar is hiding?
For Rockies season-pass buyers who divide their costs among consortiums of two, four, even 15 friends, Matt Holliday's game-winning slide Monday night was only the beginning of a thousand fan debates - not just about the action on the field but about who gets to watch it from the stands.
Last time this argument raged for Denver baseball fans was 1995, around the time O.J. Simpson was on trial for murder. And when your Brother- in-Law Who Holds the Tickets has 12 years to devise a self-serving playoff-ticket strategy, there's a fine line between fair and foul.
"I'm taking the four tickets for Saturday," said Blake Street Tavern owner Chris Fuselier, who is part of two Rockies groups.
He generously gave his junior ticket partners the Sunday game, not mentioning the fine point that if the Rockies win or lose all three games before then, Sunday's game never happens.
"I thought of that, but I didn't bring it up to them," Fuselier admitted. Not all fans realize the first playoff series is best of five, not best of seven. "Hey, I can only get a babysitter for Saturday!"
Other ticket groups are in friendly negotiations.
"I split my regular-season tickets with another guy, he just called me five minutes ago to ask what we're going to do," said Jim Garofalo, whose share goes back to the minor-league Zephyr games in the early 1990s.
They decided to split the four seats for each game.
Some long-standing ticket groups can't remember who used their seats in 1995, when the Rockies bowed to the Atlanta Braves after only two home games. Other groups, lulled by a dozen years of regular season futility, never laid down bylaws about the playoff pecking order.
"Shame on them for joining a group with no rules," said diehard baseball fan Carol Stone King. She controls both a Rockies ticket group and a season ticket group for the playoff-bound Chicago Cubs, where she grew up.
"My rules weren't written in stone, but everybody knew they would be treated fairly," King said.
At her urging, King's group jumped on a Rockies offer to season ticket holders six weeks ago to reserve extra playoff tickets. In Chicago, her group members said all they wanted was an equal chance at a ticket; King took the first home game in each potential Cubs series, then held a lottery for the remaining places.
Not all season ticket holders have their plans in place - though the options are many. The Banks family group sells about 50 games a year to other fans, and considered cashing in four playoff seats.
"At first, you think about selling them, because of the money. But it doesn't happen often, so we're going to go to the games," Bobby Banks said.
He gets Saturday's game, with three buddies who go to Opening Day every spring; his mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law will go Sunday - if Sunday ever comes.
Marita Batenburg and her husband withdrew from any fights for their group's seats, since they're leaving for Greece this week on a trip planned a year ago. They'll miss the opener of their Colorado Avalanche hockey season tickets, as well.
There's always the chance the Rockies could still be playing upon the Batenburg's mid- October return.
"God willing, they will!" she said.

"We've hit the wall as a team. Our guys have played a lot of minutes and were having mental lapses, and the common things we just didn't get done. It was an indication of a basketball team that has hit the wall. We were giving it up on the defensive end and we were really lacking."
"We battled. The guys never quit. We had several chances to win. We had lapses defensively but overall we played well."
"We're not good enough to have defensive lapses. Normally, when we score 59 points, that's enough. Offensively, we're doing some good things, but defensively it looks like a circus sometimes."

NY, NEW YORK -- Much like other's experiences with National Home Protection there is no "resting easy knowing we are covered" with National Home Protection. I have been without heat for 9 days and they can only tell me that "valves" are not covered. They cite the "Fireplaces and key valves" as the reason - yet when I explain what a key valve is and that the gas valve and control unit that I'm told by my service tech that I need is something different, I get "talk to the disputes department - and oh by the way only via email. It has been 7 days since I started emailing the disputes department... with no reply. This company is a joke. DON'T sign a contract with them!
NEW YORK -- I just want to warn people not to waste their money on a warranty with this company. I do not have the energy after dealing with them to rehash it all. They do not do anything they say they will. Unless you have the time to file suit against them save your money and go with another company. They owe me more money than I paid for the coverage and I know I will never see it. They have no customer service and will ignore your calls, emails, certified mail, etc. The only time you will hear from them is when your coverage is expiring and then you will get an email a day for 3 months and calls nonstop to every number they have on file for you.
When the people calling are asked what they are going to do about the open claims and the pending lawsuit you have filed against them, they just respond that it is not their department and they just want to resign you. Good luck to all that have coverage with the company.
LAS VEGAS -- The only thing that this company will ever cover is anything that is less than $100. When you call for a claim it will take anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes. You will be told that the contractor will have your info in 1/2 hour but they never do. Then when the contractor calls for authorization he/she will be on hold for at least 1/2 an hour.
NHP will not cover the usual things that other companies cover. They refused to cover my pool pump. After 2 weeks of trying to get authorization I returned a call to a rep who immediately launched into song and dance of 'it's time to renew-let's set you up for 5 years (cost $2000).' When I questioned as to my claim I was told that it was authorized. Being mistrustful of salesmen I put off renewing. Lo & behold the pump wasn't covered until I submitted maintenance records for the past 2 years. Did that… Not covered because the pump is 2Hp. That's the pump it came with. Total crock.
Additionally please note that they are not open on weekend for authorizations. Only claims & contracts. So, in an emergency on the weekend plan on the problem worsening until Monday. Every phone call is met with a sales rep trying to get you to renew. They can't answer a simple question without first going for the 5 year renewal. The reps are rude, ignorant & couldn't care less about you or their own company.
Please do not believe what they tell you prior to signing up. They will tell you anything to get you signed up with a contract - especially the 5 year deal. Oh, & you will never get the Home Depot card. They also do not send you a contract. You get an email that your payment is received & don't post their contract on line or send you one. They will just keep reading to you from theirs which pretty much states that nothing is covered.
Run from this company as fast as you can. Even AHS is better. At least they cover the usual & standard items. The worst thing they do is say that 'it's not covered' until you explain that it is indeed covered & read the contract to them pertaining to your problem. Looking for a new company now. Good luck to all of you & hope this helps.
I am the last person to write reviews about any product I purchase. But about National Home Protection I feel I was so cheated that I felt nobody else should go through the same problems I am going through. I had purchased this home warranty for peace of mind, it turned out to be one of the biggest pain in the ass. I had filed a claim with them saying my toilet flush was broken. They never call back.
After talking for a month with the representatives the claim was denied saying that the flush was broken due to improper wear and tear and accumulation of rust. I was surprised since the part that was broken was plastic and rust cannot accumulate on plastic. I kept on requesting that they should send somebody else and take another look. But every effort went down the drain.
Next time I filed another claim saying that my toilet was flooding. This claim was denied stating that was a duplicate of the claim that was already denied. I don't understand in what language does a part broken and water not flushing mean the same. It's been 15 days that I have been talking to them to resolve the issues but again I am disappointed. The plumber said that he needs to bring an electric machine to remove the block that is hindering the water to flow.
Whenever you file a claim with them it takes about 4-5 days for them to assign the contractor. I kept on calling them on it and they said they are not able to find a contractor in my area. Finally after the contractor came in it took another 10 days for them to get the diagnosis. Everyday you call them they say they are working on it. It's been 3 weeks now that my toilet is not working. I guess I will have to fix the problem by having over my own plumber.
Customer service representatives do not have proper knowledge about what's going on about your claim. All they do is read notes they have on the claim. They do not add anything more to it. There is nobody responsible to talk to. The authorization department do not have a phone number to talk to not does the disputes department. Email them and it takes forever for them to get back to you. So much money down the drain. I would strongly say think twice before you sign-up with this company.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- National Home Protection has a 3 year history (since inception perhaps?) of charging an annual, upfront fee for services, then NEVER following through on requests for services, let alone helping homeowners. Extensive lists of consumer complaints are online and filed with NY attorney general, although they continue to operate. They have one of the worst service practices, relative to lack, if any, of responsiveness, doing what they 'say' they will do, and rejecting virtually all claim or reimbursement requests.
Do NOT do business with this company, and share their POOR Business reputation and practices with anyone who will listen. If you had the unfortunate experience of hiring them, please write the NY attorney general's office and complain. It is important that the stress, frustration and fraud they practice and cause, is continuing to happen. Please report!
NEW GLOUCESTER, MAINE -- I have used home warranty services from Sears for years but was told by a friend that National Home Protection was a good service with a reasonable price. WRONG!!! My first in counter my furnace went out middle of January, subzero temperature. Thurs morning called filed claim. Friday still NO response. Saturday AM call back told no contractor in area have to wait until Monday. Called my repairman got furnace running Monday. Talk to supervisor said the repair people are just busy, they 6 days to respond. Very rude. Contractor called Wednesday, he had just been contacted by service, never done work for them before SUPERVISOR LIED!!! Oh no refunds.
Second time washer went out contractor responded same day he could not respond to house for 5 days but that was because of ICE STORM an no power for 4 days. Machine will cost $1,400 to fix NHPS said they would replace the machine. OH wait they are out since they buy wholesale for $225 they will only give that amount to go buy a new one. Retail the cheapest is $350 and I have to come up with the difference. I have been treated like a fool and they will never see another dime from me.
I will tell everyone I meet how bad they are you get what you PAY FOR.
I never got the Home Depot gift cards they offered. They offer the gift cards to make you purchase the policy and I think they really never intended to send the card. When you realize you were tricked it is too late because you cannot cancel the policy.
After 6 months of emails, phone calls, faxes, voicemails, and mails trying to talk to somebody I finally filed a complaint on BBB. National Home Protection response was "During this purchase period, customer was offered a Home Depot gift card, as part of a mail-in rebate promotion. The mail-in rebate form was included with each policy. Customer failed to complete the rebate form in the required time frame. The rebate form states the following: Request must be postmarked no earlier than 60 days after coverage start date, and no later than 90 days after the coverage start date."
They never send the form with the policy. They are extremely rude and put you on hold for long periods. They transfer your call without listening to you to a mailbox and they never return the calls or emails.
I am not going to renew my policy.
COTTONTOWN, TENNESSEE -- After 7+ yrs I decided to sell my home. To make my home more enticing to a potential buyer, I decided to add a HOME WARRANTY as part of the home sale. For some STUPID reason I chose National Home Protection, Inc. (NHP) and dealt with their Victor. He sold me the warranty / policy before Christmas 2007. Well, this past Friday, 01/25/08 I awoke to NO HEAT. At 6am I immediately sent an e-mail to NHP for service. Where I reside the temps outside were in the 20's so it was cold in the house. Long story short, they referred me to TWO of their contractors who refused to come out because I was too far away. By then, NHP had closed and the only people I was able to reach was their answering service. ALSO, I managed to get an EMERGENCY number from the answering service, but they simply wouldn't return my repeated calls for HELP! Because of the COLD and my family's comfort and safety, I hired someone on my own after waiting 29 hours for service from NHP which never materialized!! THIS Company is a SCAM!! PLS DO NOT use them and/or buy their services!!
If you are a REALTOR and reading this, pls do NOT ruin your credibility by suggesting or recommending NHP to anyone! I'm out $352.00 for the NHP contract PLUS $485.00 for service to repair my heater, which should have been paid by NHP, Inc. I have written to Victor Hakim and NHP, Inc. for reimbursement.
Joe Grossman, Cottontown, TN
FLORIDA -- I have had service with this company for nearly two years. It has been nothing but problems. I have had one claim that they actually took care of, and that was about 3 months into our contract term. at the end of the first year, we wanted to cancel but due to their contract conditions were unable to (several little requirements that make it nearly impossible to cancel).
Soon after the second contract year started, we were having problems with our pool, which we pay extra monthly to have "covered" by NHP. we called them, and when we finally got ahold of someone, we were told it would take them too long to get one of their contractors to look at it, for us to use someone ourselves and go ahead and have it fixed and they would reimburse us. We did this, and several parts of our pump had to be replaced, putting the bill at a little over $600.00- we called about our reimbursement several times, were told they were contacting the poolman we used for receipts, etc.
We still have not received our reimbursement. since then we have tried calling them nearly 10 times (over a period of a few months) both about the reimbursement and about a few new claims- on the rare occasion that someone actually answers the phone, they take all our information and note of our new claims (each time, they're 'new' claims because they don't have record of them from our past calls), and we are told someone will contact us in the next day or two about the claims. We have yet to have any of these calls actually made to us. As badly as I want to just cancel our contract and stop paying them for doing nothing, regardless of the consequenses in the contract, I can't only because I know if I do I will definitely never see a penny of the reimbursement they still owe us.
This company is obviously some sort of scam business, and I'm on the verge of having an attorney call them for me. It's become really ridiculous, and I obviously would not recommend this company to anyone.
Here is a registered letter we mailed to NHP. As of today, 6/6/2007 No Refund Yet! The Letter says it all:
National Home Protection, Inc.
42 West 38th Street
New York, NY 10018
Phone: (800) 608-6045
Fax: (866) 851-7462
May 16, 2007
To Whom it May Concern:
We purchased in good faith a three year home warranty policy with your company in the amount of $1214.73 paid in 3 installments of $404.91 deducted from Washington Mutual Bank 12/15/06, and Bank of America 1/15/07 and the final payment 2/15/2007. When our first and only claim with National Home Protection, Inc. was not handled to our satisfaction we cancelled our policy 2/27/2007 and was told that a check in the amount of 964.73, which is the full amount minus a 250 dollar cancellation fee, would be mailed to us within 15 to 30 days.
March 27, 2007 came and went with no refund received. After contacting your company once again we were told that accounting had attempted to put the refund back onto our debit card but it did not go through. Bank of America however, claims that no such attempt was made. We were once again told that a check would be issued and we would receive it within 15 to 30 days.
April 29, 2007 came and went with no refund received. After numerous conversations with your company we were assured that a check was cut 4/18/2007 and a customer service agent GUARANTEED that we would have the check in our hands by May 5th at the latest. Well when May 5, 2007 came and went with of course no refund check in hand we once again made numerous contacts with your company just to be told more lies. As of today, May 16th, 2007 we still do not have our refund check, nor have we had any of our calls returned from the numerous voice mails we have been forced to leave.
If we do not receive a check in the amount of $1214.73 by June 1, 2007, we will be forced to proceed with further actions. We have already filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Attorney General of New York. They of course will also be receiving a copy of this letter. We feel we should not have to pay the $250 dollar cancellation fee, as we have been the ones spending countless hours on the phone trying to receive our refund while National Home Protection, Inc. has actually done nothing!

Will Justin Smoak, who added strength as he reworked his doughy body in the off-season, reclaim the starting job at first?

Too glittery. If you don't mind being sparkly then you might like this. Formula is ok, but I can't get over how it makes me sparkle. It's not subtle. Step into the light and watch it reflect. Bottle is pretty cute though.

as this is the number one foundation in a bunch of places i was very eager to purchase. its such a talked about product on the internet and youtube. unfortunately it made my face look very cakey. and i am positive the fault is not with my application as i am used to liquid foundations and apply with beauty blenders. i also have ZERO hair on my face, and use a very natural powder, so it was not me. I guess it just didnt work for my skin. it looked awful. so disapointed!!

ok, so I have to admit I hated this at first!!! but after leaving it alone for quite some time, I gave it another try! and I am glad I did! I wear it as my daily foundation now! flawless coverage, doesn't crease, stays put, and doesn't enhance any fine lines or wrinkles. just a great product. the only thing is I HATE THE PACKAGING. it just pours out and you get wayyyyy too much if you aren't careful. but I'll deal with it cuz it makes my skin gorgeous 😉

I'm going to sum up this foundation in everyone's perspective. The coverage is medium to full. Very buildable. BUT it lasts no more than 5 hours even with the best primer or setting sprays. This applies to dry and oily skin types. As I'd been using this all year round. The color selection I must say is fanfuckingtabulous yes that's the only word to describe it. I'd say this foundation ranks a 5 in a scale of 1-10 of best foundations. Will repurchase.

I absolutely love this foundation. Im in the shade W4 and it works really well but you really need to use a good primer for it. I tried the loreal true match LUMI but i got very oily so i bought this one and it works better for me but if your more normal to dry definetly get the LUMI version. Ps. This foundation works better when used with a brush BUT if you prefer a sponge that will do just fine!

Finding a pale foundation with yellow tones has been a challenge. This is the absolute lightest foundation I have found in the drugstore that has a yellow tone to it (W1). It's actually a bit too light for me at the moment, W2 is probably closer to my skin now, but W1 is better in winter.
My skin tends toward oily, and this foundation applies matte. I usually use some Rimmel Stay Matte translucent pressed powder over it. It can start feeling kind of heavy and "melty" by the end of the day, but as far as I can tell it still looks okay. It does settle into my pores, but I don't really notice unless I put my face within about an inch of the mirror.
The packaging is a bit difficult to use as it is just in a bottle with a screw top and no pump. I usually apply by pouring some product onto my Real Techniques sponge and then applying it to my face. The texture is pretty thin and runny so it can be a bit difficult to get the desired amount of foundation onto the sponge without getting too much.
This foundation does a good job of covering up blemishes and redness on my skin. I barely even need concealer for blemishes unless they are particularly red and huge. It's not enough on its own to deal with my eyes' dark circles, though -- still need concealer for that.
The pricing is a bit high compared to other drugstore products, I think it was at least $10, but that's still affordable compared to the higher-end foundations I was looking at before I found this. Since I currently need a darker shade, I am experimenting with other drugstore options. So far I am liking the Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous oil free foundation -- it's pretty similar to this one but has a squeeze tube (easier to control amount of product) and is, if anything, even better at staying matte and not overly "heavy" feeling throughout the day.
But if you're looking for a very pale yellow-toned drugstore foundation -- this is probably your best bet. The range of colors really can't be beat.

I really really love and truly enjoy putting on this foundation! The consistency is not so thick but slightly runny and I find that this helps it absorb better into my skin. I have combination and acne prone skin, so far it has minimize the oiliness that I get throughout the day and it does NOT break me out like other foundations I've tried. The coverage is medium and buildable to a full coverage I would say. It does cover blemishes and severe acne quite well if you dab it on the spot and pat it in carefully. I just love how it dries to a matte finish and that right when you put it on it don't feel heavy! It has some sort of a powdery feel when it sets but I still put powder over it because I do get oily. I only rated it a 4 out of 5 stars because I don't find the shades to be a "true match" like it's title because I have light-medium Asian skin with yellow undertones and I can't seem to find a W shade that matches my face to my neck. Right now I have the shade W4 but it gets darker than my neck. I went and bought the W3 shade however that one was too peach. I might just end up getting W1 and mix it with the W4 to get the shade I want.

I wanted to like this product bc of all the hype around it but sadly it did not work for me...the packaging doesnt bother me...its the fact that it never fully set on my face even after putting setting powder on it still felt very tacky and by the second hour it was disappearing lol and i have normal skin not dry not oily soo idk it just didnt like my face...it did blend nicely and go on easy..but i cant deal with a tacky face so it was a deal breaker for me..i even tried it a few more times after the first and it was the same thing every time...so i wont be trying this again

Looking for holiday inspiration? Our Advent and Christmas devotionals are here.
86:8 There is none like you. The psalmist sees that no god of the surrounding nations can be compared with the Lord in what He is or what He does. This confession of God's uniqueness is not a tacit admission that other gods exist (see v. 10). The psalmist is comparing the foreigners' vain imaginations with the reality of Yahweh.

2001 BMW 325i • 80,000 miles
4 months ago, my car over heated and I took my car to a shop. They replaced the radiator, resevoir tank, and all the hoses coming and going. They told me my water pump might be going bad soon and they can replace it for $600 after I took out a high interest loan of $900 to pay them! I said not now. Two days ago, my car over heated again. There was a giant leak on the side of the radiator and the car would crank but not turn over and it sounded exactly like the first time it overheated. They said the water pump caused the massive leak while a few friends of mine in which one is a mechanic for domestic cars say that wouldn't be the cause.
April 25, 2012.

Why are letting car overheat? That's what a temp gauge is for? Pump going bad usually means LEAKING although some also break internally or the metals corrode and efficiency is lost. With your lack of auto knowledge you are at the mercy of mechanics. Overheating also has possibility of damaging headgaskets/other and this may not show up right away also. Nevertheless the system has a pressure release cap to avoid overpressurizing radiator causing it to fail. You may be able to claim warranty on radiator. If you own a car you cant afford to repair at todays costs you should consider learning basic mechanics or seeking amateurs with experience to save money.
I didn't know the car was overheating until it felt sluggish all of a sudden after driving for an hour and a half. I saw the gauge red line and immediately pulled over but was too late by then. A couple of minutes ago, they told me it was clogged with some white yellow substance. The same stuff I saw in the bad hoses the first time I brought it. This seems very fishy to me.

My 3.5 yo son is waking up every morning at 5 am and almost never napping. Rarely he will put himself down during his quiet time in his room, or he will fall asleep in the car and we will transfer him. During his quiet time he spends more of it banging on the door asking to come out. I have been doing it very consistently since he started not napping, so he knows what is expected of him. These 5 am wakeups are hell. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and absolutely exhausted. I'm going to bed as early as I can-around 8 pm-but these morning wakeups set a horrible tone for the rest of the day. I'm pissed, he's on his iPad or watching tv in the mornings. He goes to school or therapy in the mornings, and when he gets up this early he's at home for 4 HOURS in the morning before he goes to school. The hell I'm going to be sitting down doing puzzles at 5 or 6 am for 4 hours. His bedtime can vary depending on whether he naps, but he's often asleep by 7:30 or 8. I figure without a nap he should be sleeping until AT LEAST 6 am. Some people say make bedtime earlier, because maybe he's sleep deprived. Some say later, that it will make him sleep in. All I know is that I am seething with anger right now about not being able to sleep to a reasonable hour. To make matters worse my husband is in school and he leaves before 6 am, so I have NO help in the mornings. Please help me
3 yo waking up at 5 am and not napping-help!

I agree, he needs more sleep so maybe an earlier bedtime. Also, maybe have his calcium and magnesium levels checked. They both help u sleep.

Thanks guys. I have been taking him for drives in the car around when he's supposed to nap, and he has been falling asleep and I've been transferring hm to his bed. This morning he got up at 6 am, so I am hopeful he might start sleeping in. I don't mind the drives if he will go down. It's so much easier when he rests in the afternoon. I don't think he's really ready to give up his nap, I just think he refuses to get in bed and shut his eyes when he's in his room.
