SpongeBob is waiting at the bus stop to go to Glove World. He promised Patrick that they would be first in line, and to be first to get on the bus. Then a lot of fish come and cut in front of him. Patrick comes and asks SpongeBob why he is not first (like he promised). Sandy comes and ask SpongeBob for him to do "Operation Acorn Smoothie". Patrick goes to Glove World without SpongeBob. After that, he goes back to the bus stop, then Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob to say no to Pearl about the new shoes.
He then goes back to the bus stop and helps Grandma SquarePants cross the road. Patrick returns and tells SpongeBob that sometimes he just has to say no, then asks SpongeBob to scratch his back. He is shown at his house crying about how he can't say no to anything anyone asks him. Gary then goes to a catalog and orders something for SpongeBob. The package arrives and says "Abrasive Sponge". He sticks it on his back.
He goes out and Pilar asks him to carry his groceries for him. His body switches 180 degrees, showing the abrasive side and says "Carry it yourself, fish-face" for SpongeBob. He does the same for Larry the Lobster, Grandma, and Sandy. He then goes into the Krusty Krab, then Mr. Krabs asks him to do a seventeen hour extra shift. SpongeBob says yes, but then his abrasive side says no, unless Mr. Krabs pays for overtime, being paid more than the standard wage for coming in over his contracted hours. Mr. Krabs goes to his office to look up the meaning for "overtime" - then is shocked that SpongeBob could use such a disgusting word. He goes home and Squidward says not to annoy him. SpongeBob's abrasive side says the complete opposite that SpongeBob would normally say, then Squidward gets happy and hugs him, saying: "You don't know how long I have waited to hear those words."
Patrick says it's time for their play-date. SpongeBob talks and so does his abrasive side, confusing Patrick, eventually scaring Patrick into believing that SpongeBob's face is haunted. SpongeBob goes into his house to the bathroom and stares into the mirror, and realizes whats wrong - that his abrasive side is getting out of control. He asks Patrick and Mr. Krabs for help, but his abrasive side gets the best of him. He goes to Sandy for help, then explains what happened and why he got an abrasive side. Sandy then rips it off his back, while SpongeBob holds Patrick, then is shown with intense pain for a short while as Sandy rips the abrasive side off. Sandy puts it in a box labelled "Return to sender" and puts it in the mailbox. The green skin growls. SpongeBob then remembers to go say sorry to Grandma. He goes, then it turns out that Grandma has an abrasive side now too, much to SpongeBob's horror. The episode ends with SpongeBob screaming.

- This is the third time SpongeBob becomes or acts mean. The first was in "Plankton!", and the second was in "Walking Small". However, the reason for him becoming mean does not have to do with Plankton, as it did in the previous two episodes.
- This is the third appearance of SpongeBob's grandma after "Grandma's Kisses" and "BlackJack". Her fourth appearance was in "Pet Sitter Pat."
- This is the third appearance of Glove World after "Rock Bottom" and "Roller Cowards." The fourth would be "Tunnel of Glove." It's last appearance is in "Glove World R.I.P. "
- The scene where Squidward said "You don't know how long I've waited to hear those words!" is sped up in the promo, most likely to shorten the promo.
- SpongeBob tells Squidward that he wouldn't hang out with him for all the money in Mr. Krabs's mattress. This is possibly a reference to the episode "The Lost Mattress", since that episode reveals that Mr. Krabs keeps his money in his mattress.
- This episode was originally going to be paired up with Enchanted Tiki Dreams, but ended up being paired with Earworm.
- Howard Blandy makes a cameo appearence standing in front of SpongeBob in line.
- SpongeBob's Abrasive Side speaks with a sterotypical New Jersey accent.
- This is the second time that Pearl's voice was heard but she was not seen.
- Two versions of SpongeBob are available as playable fighters in Super Brawl 3; Normal SpongeBob, and SpongeBob with the abrasive side, named Abrasive SpongeBob.
- This, along with its sister episode, Earworm, both involve with something attached to SpongeBob's body but was later removed near the end. For this episode, the abrasive side is found in SpongeBob's back, and in Earworm inside (internal) SpongeBob's ear whereas in the latter's case as well as both episodes ending in characters screaming.
- Even though Mr. Krabs says the word "overtime", in "Enemy In-Law", he acts as if he just heard the word.
- The fact SpongeBob saying he never used immoderate language is incorrect since he used "number 11" a couple of times in "Sailor Mouth".
- Despite not being able to say "no" in this episode, he was able to say "no" to Pearl in the store.
- This episode sort of has the same story line in the beginning to Rock Bottom. Where SpongeBob keeps missing the bus.
Cultural References
- This episode has a similar premise to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Mask.
- The abrasive side is a lot like a symbiote in Marvel comics, especially Spider-Man. It is organic, it makes one abrasive, it is very difficult to physically part with, it refers to itself as we, etc.
- Patrick's eyebrows dissappear for a fraction of a second when he is about to show his half-gone finger.
- When Sandy rolls up the sleeves on her suit, there was black hair on her arms, which is strange, as she already has fur.
- When Pearl cries, her tears leaves puddles. When SpongeBob's Grandma asks to help her cross the street, the puddles disappear.

News PM ready to back a fifth reactor at Dukovany nuclear power plant
Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka has said he would be prepared to back the construction of a fifth reactor at the Dukovany nuclear power plant in southern Moravia. On a visit to Třebíč on Monday the prime minister said he would bring the matter up within the ongoing debate on the government's long-term energy strategy. Dukovany has a licence to operate its four nuclear reactors until 2015 and plans to ask for an extension until 2025 and eventually 2035. A newly-built reactor could produce energy for another 60 years. Meanwhile the expansion of the Temelín nuclear power plant in south Bohemia from the present two to four reactors looks increasingly uncertain.

Twelve construction companies fined for cartel activity
The Czech competition office has announced a fine of 278 million crowns on a group of 12 construction companies. The ČTK agency said that the largest fine, amounting to tens of millions of crowns, had been imposed on the Hochtief company.

Police likely to be given powers to confiscate owners' guns in homes
Police will probably be given the right to seize guns where the owner lives following a debate on proposed changes to gun license rules in the lower house of parliament. Seizure should be allowed if the mental state of the owner has changed to such an extent that they could be a danger to the public. But a proposal to cut the current gun permits from 10 years to five will not now probably be passed. The news rules are being prepared followed the Uherský Brod shooting in February 2015 when eight people were shot dead by a sole gunman. The Senate still has to debate the final shape of the law.
CNB reports zero foreign currency intervention in March
The Czech National Bank reported Friday that it did not intervene in the foreign currency markets in March to maintain its low crown policy. In February the central bank intervened to the tune of 623 million euros and in January by just over 2.15 billion euros to keep the crown near or lower than 27 crowns to the euro. Since the start of the low crown policy at the end of 2013 it has spent around 19 billion euros on maintaining the target exchange rate. The bank says it will maintain the low crown policy until at least the middle of next year when it hopes inflation will approach its annual target rate of 2.0 percent.

Quick Pick: 'The Last of Us'
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 12:35 p.m.
Pop culture has shown us so many apocalypses that we all know what the real problem is going to be. It's not the feral animals, the nuclear mutants or the lumbering zombies. It's the most dangerous predator of all: man.
What's different about the video game "The Last of Us" (Sony, for the PlayStation 3) is that it gives us a few people to care about. The protagonist is Joel, a bitter smuggler. His assignment is to deliver 14-year-old Ellie to a faction in the West.
"The Last of Us" takes place 20 years after the pandemic. Sony's Naughty Dog studio presents all this devastation vividly. Weeds burst through cracked sidewalks. The interior of an abandoned van is covered with moss. Suburban homes are filled with photos.
The scarcity of ammo makes the enemy encounters all the more nerve-racking. The level of strategy involved — can I creep up on that guard without attracting the attention of an eagle-eyed sniper? — makes "The Last of Us" more demanding and rewarding than your typical zombie game.

Recently my spouse and i have been having heated arguments over putting my 2 yr old daughter in a day care . she is a pretty well advance kid, counts to 10 spanish & 20 in english know shapes and at least 6 colors and much more i read to her often and play many education games, but he is persistant in sending her to a day care for an increase in education. i feel its tooo early and there really isnt a desperate need, because my mom watches her 2-3 days aweek i work 3 12 hr shifts sometimes 2 days only and he works 6a-2p.i am the one that will be affected by the change because most places open at 630 and i have to be at work at 645 so my point is that i dont want her in strangers hands 8 hrs a day if its really not neccessary and he says im being selfish and holding her back.. i dont want to get her up and all dressed up at 6 am just because he wants to push education, right now i take her to my mom, place her in her play pen and she continues to sleep till 8-9 am. AM I CRAZY HERE!

I feel the same way. It sounds to me like you are doing an excellent job with your daughter's education so far! Most children her age, even ones in daycare don't know the things you described here. If she goes to daycare at this age, she will not have the one on one attention you and your mother provide for her at home. Maybe as a compromise, you could find some structured learning activities like ABCMouse.com which has lessons for preschoolers which you can print and do at home and try to find a playgroup nearby so she could get some interaction with other kids her age. Maybe if you showed your husband that you or your mom are willing to do structured learning at home with your daughter, he will not feel the need to push it so early.posted 05/31/2012 by rianr22

Seriously. I am 55 years old, and when I was a boy I was promised that by the time I turned 55 I'd own my own personal robot servant that would wear a tuxedo bow tie and clean my room for me. I'm a little bitter that this hasn't come to pass. If the Phillies' robot is state of the art, then the best I can hope for is a robot that will go to the fridge, grab me a beer, then drop it 30 feet from my barcalounger. Boo! Boo!
If I'd been at Citizens Bank Park this afternoon, I would have booed too. Or maybe not. The robot couldn't throw a ball 60 feet 6 inches, but that doesn't mean the robot didn't have had laser beams in its hands or eyes that could scan the crowd along with a cell phone to recommend the booing fans for I.R.S. audits.
Don't be fooled by the benign appearance of this particular robot. I can guarantee this: when advanced beings from other worlds send robots to conquer the Earth, those robots will be as adorable as a preschool Christmas pageant. We'll all be saying "aw, how cute" as the invading robots disembark from their spacecraft, erase our memories and pack us into crates marked "Space Food".
So, until the Phillies can show us a robot that can throw a fastball strike with some late movement, I doff my virtual cap to the Philly fans who so articulately expressed my feelings about robots. "Hey, dumb-bot! You couldn't strike out a roomba, ya bum."

Singer for 60s band The Grass Roots dies in Fla.
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
EUSTIS, Fla. (AP) — Rob Grill, the lead singer of 1960s rock band The Grass Roots, has died near Orlando, an official with the medical examiner's office said Tuesday. He was 67.
Grill sang on such hits as "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," and "Let's Live for Today." He died Monday at a hospice facility in Lake County, Fla., a suburb of Orlando, said Michael Hensley, director of the medical examiner's office.
A woman who answered the phone at Cornerstone Hospice confirmed Grill was a patient but wouldn't release further information, citing privacy concerns.
The Grass Roots were a Los Angeles-based band with roots in San Francisco's music scene. They formed in the mid-1960s and went through three incarnations, with band members leaving and others joining, before they recorded a series of hits. Grill joined in 1967 and the group disbanded in 1975. One of the members was Creed Bratton, who now plays the exceedingly eccentric Creed on the TV sitcom "The Office."
Grill released a solo album, Uprooted, in 1979.

Unusually low debt and payout ratio, combined with huge earnings growth and a fantastic dividend. Make this one 3%.
Selected from my "Value Stocks" screen, which has outperformed the S&P 500 by 16% per annum for the past decade. The screen looks for stocks with low PE/ROE ratios, positive 24 wk price action and relatively low P/BV's (considering the stratospheric ROE's). Key stats for Pioneer SW Energy are: P/E=6.7, ROE=76%, P/BV=6.7.
High ROE, high profit margin.
8 % dividend, non operated well subsidiary of Pioneer Nat Res. 1500 wells is a large W TX field. This should pay a nice dividend, and has the potential of appreciation as price of product goes up, as I believe it will over 2 plus years.
Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners (PSE) is likely to stand out as an aggressive grower within the energy sector as it has the resources to continue its drilling programs and to purchase assets at below market prices.
Do you think oil will go down to $10 a barrel?
At this price with the good div. why not?
A bit boring, but fundamentally strong diversified energy company, well run. There are plenty of bad companies out there (LGCY, ENP, KRU). This one has solid fundamentals and valuation.
A side thought - sexy yield is important these days. A long-term buy just because of that. As long as oil is above $30 :)
Hot sector.

Round tables are an excellent methodology to help public relations professionals achieve positive media coverage, enhance relationships with important organisational stakeholders and strengthen organisational positioning. The white paper, produced from a round table, resources issues-driven media campaigns (of which opinion pieces are likely to play a leading role), direct mail and online communication campaigns.
The round table/white paper methodology can also be used in an even more targeted, discreet manner where very confidential, targeted relationship enhancement (i.e. management) will deliver results.
Strategic communication results with target audiences
The white paper is generally a strategic branding, rather than a tactical sales generating, mechanism, though it can be used for the latter. When using the white paper as a direct mail piece, for instance, in many circumstances a follow up phone call will take place to the prospect to use the thought leadership it features as a 'door opener' for an appointment.
Another reason why the white paper can assist with positioning, tactical sales or organisation-stakeholder relationships is that the target audience finds its content of value – so recipients appreciate the white paper's 'sponsoring organisation' for producing it.
A final reason for adopting this approach is that it can be part of a program to help rehabilitate an organisation's reputation after it has undergone a crisis. The thought leadership it shows, its linking/partnership/alliance with other reputable organisations and the manner in which it discusses its insight and activities can all impact positively on knowledge of, and perceptions towards, an organisation
White papers have an excellent track record, if well done, of achieving high level, top tier media coverage. They play an important part in an holistic communication strategy.
A round table (RT) is generally constituted of:
- six to ten participants
- a sponsoring organisation participant and external, non-organisational participants
- participants who are experts, and/or thought leaders, in a particular field
- an agenda for discussion that features a single or a series of closely-related issues that are topical, compelling and of business-relevance to all those participating, as well as the sponsoring organisation's target audiences.
The ultimate objective of the RT/white paper is to position the organisation (and/or individual, such as a CEO) more favourably with priority stakeholders. From a process perspective, the objective of the RT is to generate 'content' that can be leveraged through a white paper, and/or other communication mechanisms, that enhance the positive positioning of the sponsoring organisation.
The credibility factor
There are a number of rationales for having non-organisational employees present at round tables:
- They automatically bring with them 3rd party credibility when you are using the content generated by the discussions when positioning your organisation and engaging with your stakeholders
- From a positioning perspective, the non-organisational attendees shine a certain light on the sponsoring organisation. If they are well known or experts in a certain field , this spotlight is shared with the sponsoring organisation. This is different to 3rd party credibility – it is about what the sponsoring organisation does and what it is good at
- Their presence has a snowball effect in filling the seats on your round table. The more credible people/organisations you get to participate, the more attractive the round table becomes to prospective participants
- Similar to forming a strategic alliance, the content from the round table can be leveraged through their organisation's communication mechanisms (website, newsletters, social media etc). This helps raise the profile and positive positioning of the sponsoring organisation.
Elements of a marketing communication round table
There are no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes an effective round table, but primary elements to consider generally include the following:
- Having only one representative of the sponsoring organisation present, though you could do two at a push
- Those present need to be senior organisational stakeholders. Preferably, organisational leaders. But if not leaders in title, then certainly they should be leaders in thinking, intellect and/or standing
- Eight to ten participants is ideal. Any less and you may not get the discussion, debate and quality content required to give the white paper 'heft'. Any more and it can become unwieldy, with many participants potentially becoming frustrated at their lack of opportunity to make a meaningful contribution
- Eight to ten participants also allows those present to network effectively and to have side-conversations. This is a key attraction to attracting participants to the RT in the first place
- Limit the discussion to one morning. A whole day is too long and most high-level potential participants will baulk at giving up this much of their time. The brain and the body are likely to be more willing and more engaged at this time of day. Enthusiasm and quality input will be greater
- Follow the round table with a lunch, by all means, but don't have a meal during the RT process. Make the lunch optional. And don't make it War and Peace. The mechanisms of serving food will impede and/or upset the thinking and interaction process. These things get in a groove and you don't want to stymie the flow provided is appropriate, with an 8.45 or 9am sit down and rev up the talk fest time making sense
- Two to three hours should be the limit of time allocated to the round table, with a morning tea break an option to consider, though it is best to keep participants in the room and make it very short
- Make an audio recording of the discussion. Keep it on file as it may be called upon if participants disagree with the way they are quoted
- The white paper produced of the RT discussion will need to be signed off on by all participants.
And remember, as the issue(s) being discussed in the RT should be topical, there is a need to accelerate the white paper generation. Don't hang around.
Importantly, you want to get that paper and its supporting communication out and in front of stakeholders quickly. You don't want someone else to beat you to the punch.
Additionally, a slow white paper production process will mean reduced buy-in and attention to it from participants through the sign off process. And that is nothing short of death to ROI.
This is the first of a three-part series on round tables and white papers. The next post will feature tips on getting participants to attend a round table, facilitating it and taking an alternative approach to round tables. The final post in the series focuses on the media relations dimension of a round table and white paper: should they be invited and getting editorial placement results.
What did you think of this discussion? What is your experience in holding round tables and producing white papers? Did they achieve the intended results? What were the non-media related outcomes, such as stakeholder relationship enhancement?

This is a clearly a Money strategy by the Devs, forcing the players to spend money on the game, and punish who don't pay.

Maneuver Battle Lab assesses vehicles to develop Army ground combat vehicle

FORT BENNING, Ga. (May 23, 2012) -- The Maneuver Battle Lab is wrapping up the second phase of the Ground Combat Vehicle Non Developmental Vehicle assessments, which has Soldiers from Fort Benning's experimentation force conducting platoon-level operations on five different platforms.
The weeklong evaluation at Fort Bliss, Texas, is set to end Thursday.
"This is not a vehicle-to-vehicle comparison. We're assessing the attributes of all five vehicles as they pertain to what we'd like to see in our future ground combat vehicle," said Tony Carbone, the Maneuver Battle Lab's GCVassessment's lead analyst. "A desired end state of this is to report some qualitative Soldier feedback. This will give us a true feel for how combat veterans see the different capabilities of these vehicles."
About 75 personnel from Fort Benning have roles in the assessment, including more than 50 Soldiers from A Company, 1st Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment, 197th Infantry Brigade, the post's EXFOR. Collectively, the experimentation force completed nearly 70 combat tours representing almost 700 months in Iraq and Afghanistan, so war-zone lessons learned are a critical piece of this effort, Carbone said.
"Over the past 12 months, the Maneuver Battle Lab has coordinated the efforts of 14 organizations, conducting assessments on three continents, to ensure the Army gets its GCV requirements right," said Harry Lubin, chief of the battle lab's live experimentation division. "These operational insights -- provided by the battle lab and our EXFOR -- are key to the Army's modernization program."
The vehicle platforms being assessed during the evaluations at Fort Bliss are: M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Turret-less Bradley, Double V-Hull Stryker, Swedish, CV9035 vehicle and the Israeli Namer.
At Fort Bliss, the Soldiers have been engaged in multiple day and night operations with the five vehicles across open desert and urban terrain in dynamic, demanding scenarios, said Darrell Barden, the Maneuver Battle Lab's mounted team chief, who was in Texas for the assessment's preparations and launch. Each vehicle is being evaluated for durability, capacity, modularity, lethality, interior space and operational capability.
He said the Maneuver Battle Lab is leading the Fort Bliss session, which will be instrumental in informing Army leaders about eventual requirements for a new Infantry fighting vehicle to ensure mission success. The Fort Benning organization is a driving force behind the Maneuver Center of Excellence's "Squad: Foundation of the Decisive Force" initiative.
"The Army will use this assessment to determine what characteristics and capabilities best define what we want to see in a future Infantry fighting vehicle," Barden said.
The M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle currently used by the Army carries a maximum of seven Infantry Soldiers. Carbone said the new vehicle must carry nine fully equipped Infantrymen and three crewmembers.
"That's one of the key capabilities we need," he said. "It's of extreme importance to get a vehicle that can carry an entire Infantry squad to be able to conduct our future missions. We can maintain squad integrity, better protect Soldiers and give them the lethality necessary to perform the mission in their future operational environment."
Carbone said the assessment's first stage unfolded in Israel this past winter, when the experimentation force took part in a month-long assessment of the Israeli Namer. That marked the first time a Maneuver Battle Lab assessment was conducted on foreign soil. In March, the Soldiers were in Denmark working with the Swedish CV9035 vehicle, he said.

The Colorado Avalanche hockey club met with reporters Wednesday afternoon at the Pepsi Center in Denver, hours after getting word that the National Hockey League season is history.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman officially canceled the remainder of the 2004-2005 season this morning, 153 days following the start of a lockout. A series of last-minute efforts to strike a deal between the league and the players union failed, and Bettman said he had no choice.
This will be the first season the Stanley Cup won't be awarded since 1919, when a flu epidemic forced cancellation of the finals.
Former Avs forward Matthew Barnaby says he was shocked to hear the union agreed to a salary cap after telling players for a year and a half it wouldn't accept one. But he said, "If that's what we need to do to get back to work, then that's what we need to do."
The union proposed a cap of $49 million per team. Owners said $42.5 million.
But "conditions" and "fine print" in both proposals put them more than just 6.5 million apart.

A number of Callaway County Sheriff's Office employees are keeping a close eye on their credit after their personal information was stolen as part of an Internet hacking scheme that affected 75 law enforcement agencies across the country.
According to an Associated Press report, a group known as Anonymous claimed responsibility Saturday for hacking into approximately 70 law enforcement websites "in retaliation for arrests of its sympathizers in the U.S. and Britain." The group claimed to have stolen 10 gigabytes of data including e-mails, credit card details and other information.
Among the sites that were invaded was one for the Missouri Sheriff's Association's training academy, which is how the Callaway officers were affected.

The Case for Buying Organicamberdoty
I'm not really what some would call a "crunchy" mom. I use disposable diapers, I have no idea how to make my own cleaning products, I'm not familiar with any homeopathic remedies, and, despite my best efforts, both of my children drank formula for a few months.
I do, however, share one major thing in common with these all natural mamas — I want my children to eat healthy, fresh, hormone and pesticide-free food. For our family, this means buying organic whenever possible. When I first began hearing about organic versus conventionally grown food I was in college. I was living on an extremely tight budget and purchasing the organic milk and produce felt like a bit of a stretch.
Was it really healthier or was this just another marketing gimmick? I wasn't convinced. In fact, I didn't get serious about buying organic food until my son began eating solids. I wanted him to have the purest foods available and so I took to the internet to do a little research.
The first thing I learned immediately decreased my skepticism about organics. Did you know that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has guidelines in place that farmers must adhere to in order to give their food an organic label? I didn't.
Some of the things I read shocked me. For instance, there are currently over 400 pesticides approved for use in conventional farming. One fact in particular determined by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) stuck in my head. You can reduce your pesticide intake by 80% just by choosing the organic version of 12 common fruits and vegetables.
This list of produce has been deemed "the dirty dozen" by the EWG and includes peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, kale, lettuce, imported grapes, carrots, and pears. Many of these foods my baby was eating regularly and I couldn't switch him fast enough.
I have been a mother now for over five years and I continue to incorporate organic ingredients into the meals we eat. Nothing is more important to me than my children's health and well-being and providing them with quality food is one way I feel I can have a positive impact.

True, you do not have to list your Buffalo area home with a Real Estate Professional. You can do it by yourself, there are homes that do sell.
But do you want to?
Here are some things to think about before you list your Buffalo home by yourself:
- 70% to 80% of for sale by owners end up listing with a real estate agent after the house fails to sell
- Many For Sale By Owner homes in the Buffalo area are not priced correctly costing them a significant amount of time and money
- Not everyone can price their home competitively. Do you know what your Buffalo home is worth compared to others that are on the local Real Estate market? Do you know what homes are over-priced and why? More importantly are you basing your price on their asking price?
- Do you have a way to pre-qualify potential buyers?
- Many qualified buyers avoid For Sale By Owners because they do not understand the process and want guidance from a professional. Are you willing to work with those professionals? How are you going to compensate them?
- Do you know the disclosures you need to give potential buyers? The contracts that are used? Do you have an attorney chosen?
- Do you know about Buyer Assistance programs available to many Buffalo home buyers?
You will have strangers walking through your home, how safe can you feel?
- How will you conduct Open Houses? When is the best time to do so? What are the best ways to advertise your Buffalo Open house?
- Many people are "tire kickers", how are you going to screen them?
- There is more to marketing your Buffalo home for sale then placing a sign out front. How are you going to take advantage of new technology giving home buyers the ability to shop from their home? What websites are useful, how do consumers search?
- How are you going to handle showings?
As you can see there is a lot to think about when selling your Buffalo home by yourself. It is a lot of work to sell your home by yourself, so much so that dealing with phone calls, open houses, appointments for showing your home, and the complicated paperwork many home owners decide to list with a professional.

Understanding the Times 2006 homeschool edition
DVD/book curriculum
|Publisher: Summit MInistries
Author: David Noebel and others
Review last updated: 2010
|Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing
Understanding the Times
Understanding the Times is a video-based curriculum version of the one- and two-week programs offered by Summit Ministries at their Colorado headquarters and other sites. (I highly recommend these programs. Contact Summit for the current schedule: www.summit.org.) The curriculum described in this review is recommended for twelfth graders, although many eleventh graders will also be ready for such a course.
The purpose of UTT is to enable Christians to obey two particular Scriptural commands. The first is Colossians 2:8, "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ." The second is 1 Peter: 3:15, "But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence."
This latest edition of Understanding the Times (both curriculum and the book) divides worldviews under six headings: Christianity, Islam, Secular Humanism, Marxism/Leninism, Cosmic Humanism, and Postmoderism. Islam and Postmodernism were not covered in earlier editions, but their inclusion along with other revisions throughout the course reflect Summit's continual work to stay current in all areas of the curriculum.
UTT examines these six worldviews within each of ten topical areas: theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics, and history. The breadth of this course helps students understand how their belief system, or opposing belief systems, influence the way we think and what we believe in all areas of life.
The homeschool UTT curriculum includes:
- a hefty teacher manual - about 600 pages plus a companion CD with teacher helps
- a set of 8 DVDs: 2 full length presentations to watch on TV or with a DVD player plus 6 Quicktime Movie DVDs that play on the computer. Quicktime DVDs each have quite a few video presentations, running from 10 to 44 minutes each (approx. 3 to 5 hours of video per DVD).
- The revised second edition of the book Understanding the Times by David A. Noebel (2006)
- Worldview Training Student Manual
This package that Summit has put together for this latest edition is a real service to homeschoolers. The price is incredibly low for all that you get. (Summit was able to cut costs dramatically by handling the videos differently. The classroom version includes DVDs that can be shown on larger screens rather than the Quicktime movies in the homeschool version.)
The new Teacher Manual is wonderful--so much easier to use than those for earlier versions of the curriculum. The course is laid out very clearly with options for either 90-day or 180-day schedules. This is quite a demanding course for high school level. In fact, Bryan College offers three units of college credit to high schoolers completing the 180-day course or two credits for the 90-day course. (See the Teacher Manual p. vii or the CD-ROM for details.) That means this is equivalent to about two standard high school courses. How you assign credit on the transcript is up to you--it might depend on what college your teen wants to attend and what credits they will honor. It is not practical to give credits under each of the ten topical areas covered. You might simply list it as a humanities or social studies course, but that's a bit general. Alternatively, you might break it down and parcel out credit for history, English (lots of reading and essay writing!), and comparitive religions or something similar.
The Teacher Manual has fourteen tabbed sections: preparation (overview of the course and how to use it), introduction, one section each for the ten topics, conclusion, and fact sheets (key terms, resources, and lots of other information arranged under topics). A CD-ROM comes in the back of the manual. It has handouts, tests, study guides, printable forms with information required for college credit/transcript purposes, Excel programs for grading (very helpful!), and a four-minute video on abortion (another Quicktime movie)
The curriculum is very interactive and multi-sensory. Students watch videos, discuss, read, and write, so there is a lot going on and a lot to keep track of. Fortunately, the Teacher Manual charts out each lesson showing what to do when, including homework assignments.
Although students can do much of the work independently, to get the most out of the course, they should really have opportunity to have frequent discussions. Parents might be discussion partners, but it is better if a few teens can do it together, perhaps watching videos and completing reading and writing assignments independently, but getting together for discussions and going over their answers. (When I taught this course, students commented that the discussion time was their favorite part!) The teacher needs to stay up with readings to be able to guide discussions and evaluate student responses. The Teacher Manual has suggested answers to questions from the videos, readings from the student manual, and textbook assignments.
Video presentations feature many excellent speakers and presentations. Among speakers on the DVDs are Dr. David Noebel, Dr. Jeff Myers, Josh McDowell, Dr. J.P. Moreland, Dr. Frank Beckwith, Greg Koukl, Dr. Jonathan Wells, Philip Johnson, John Stonestreet, Kevin Bywater, and E. Calvin Beisner. The presentations themselves are excellent, but the Quicktime movie versions suffer from lack of synchronization on my computer--perhaps a problem only on my computer. Presentations vary; there are quite a few "talking heads" but generally they are broken up with a number of speakers or in an interview format so they're easier to watch. The full-length DVDs are Icons of Evolution and Unlocking the Mystery of Life, both outstanding presentations supporting creationism and intelligent design. (Remember that you will need a computer with a DVD player for the Quicktime movies.)
Understanding the Times is also the title of the 510-page book by Dr. David Noebel of Summit Ministries that is the textbook for this course [revised second edition: $36.95 retail; $21.95 through Summit]. The book is designed to be used as part of the video course, although it can certainly be read on its own. The book addresses the same ten subject areas listed above, with a chapter for each topic, but each chapter is further divided into sections for the six different religious viewpoints. As with the course revisions, this revised edition of the book is much more readable than the original. Most significantly, it has been condensed from the original 912 pages! Yet, at the same time, it has expanded to include Islam and Postmodernism.
I have personally taught through earlier versions of this course twice. I have seen the effectiveness of the course in meeting its Scriptural goals. In fact, I am so impressed with the course that I think it or a similar course should be offered to (or maybe even required of) all Christian teens and parents. The ease of use of this revised version of the curriclum and the very reasonable pricing remove two of the most significant barriers that used to exist for many families. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Getting over a stillborn delivery at 30 weeks
I just delivered a stillborn boy at 30 wks last week and miscarried before this. The emotional toll that it has taken on me is not something that I can handle at this point. Some moments I wish something would happen to me so that I can go and be with him, but I know that it's selfish considering I have a 6yr old son at home as well. When Jeremiah was in my stomach he was so active and busy that I just cannot grasp why he would be taken from me so close to the time when he was suppose to be become a baby brother. How can there be absolutely no signs of distress and then the next day he's gone. I'll be 40 years old in a couple of months and feel like I'm too old to try again. I plan on going to a SANDS meeting in a couple of days to grieve w/other parents. How can I get over feeling like I did something wrong to cause his death. I didn't drink, do drugs, teach pe and exercised 6 X's a week including cardio and yoga but never over heated my body stayed hydrated. The guilt is killing m

It breaks my heart knowing you lost your son. My bf lost her son when she went into labor at 40w and 4 days. The cord was wrapped around his neck and tied in a knot, the intensity of the contractions was too much on the cord. I am a doula and spent almost every laboring min w/ her and her husband. I cant imagine the hurt you are feeling. Its been almost a year since Dylan was born and they are welcoming there second child soon. Her DD is on dylans birthday. They took my advise and went to support groups, but the best help they received was support from friends. We always talked about Dylan, we told stories that made them laugh. We talked about the whole labor. We always talked about him and that helped them know he wasnâ??t forgotten. She feels an enormous amount of guilt since she was the one carrying him. It was not your fault. And if you have any strength left I say try again. I donâ??t know if you had pic taken but haley did, she has pic of Dylan all over the house. You lost something no one should ever loose. Im her bf and I still donâ??t understand why a tiny innocent baby was taken. I hope family and friends are given you tons of support. I offered cleaning/cooking/errands, or just simply being there to listen.posted 04/17/2012 by yellowrosekay

While putting the money in the cash register I noticed someone had written The South will rise again! on a bill. Was a few moments before it registered that Abraham Lincolns face was on the bill (aside from the $1 bill I forget whose on what). Then I divined that the rectangle with an X in it was an iconic Confederate flag. Durham is one of North Carolinas most liberal cities. Books Do Furnish A Room is between a strip of small trendy shops and Duke Universitys East Campus.
Ive been getting a kick out of the Trent Lott bashing. I know the next Senate Majority Leader will be equally despicable. Probably slicker and with a carefully screen past. Nowadays you have to get your Republican bashing jollies when you can.
