Remember that whole "Spygate" thing? As a Patriots fan, does anyone ever bring that up to you? Like most things in the media, the perception of spygate got blown way out of proportion. It was cheating, certainly. Did it help? Of course it did, otherwise Belichick wouldn't have been doing it. However, most fans and even analysts kind of got so lost in a game of telephone that they don't even remember what the actual act was, or it's impact. They just hear the word "cheating" and go off on a tangent. Such is the case with Marshall Faulk, the hall of fame running back for the St. Louis Rams. The same Rams the Patriots defeated in 2001 for their first Lombardi Trophy. It was a victory that spawned a dynasty, and for Faulk, over a decade of bitterness. CSNNE's Tom E. Curran broached the subject with Faulk, who denied having any hard feelings. But also made it very clear he had hard feelings. CSNNE: "They misunderstand," Faulk corrected. "Am I over the loss? Yeah, I'm over the loss. B...

AbstractThis program is to develop a compact, portable refrigeration and heating system for the Marines that interfaces with existing gear, including a MOPP suit worn under full battle dress. This system will effectively cool the user in the most demanding high-temperature environments while alternately acting as a heating system for both cold-weather operations and to prevent hypothermia (a particularly life-threatening condition for wounded individuals). The system safely operates on refined fuel-oils including JP-8 and Diesel to drive the refrigeration system. Fuel is a very compact energy source, and as such, only small amounts of it will be needed (approximately 1 oz./hour) for extended missions. Particular attention will be paid to user safety in this system.

The convergence of pervasive, stream, and cloud computing, with advances in sensor technology and signal processing, provides a platform for a wide range of innovative applications based on a more-refined understanding of the users state, wherever they may be and whatever they might be doing. Recent developments have made it possible to infer intentional (goal-driven) behavior and affective (emotional) states from scent, gestures, facial expressions, and other physiological signals, and these signals can be continuously detected in a pervasive environment in which our bodies, clothing, and physical surroundings are saturated with sensors. There is overwhelming evidence that people will trade this data in order to receive value-added services or derive other social benefits. There is equal evidence that some application or service providers will appropriate what is essentially personal data and aggregate it, privatize it, or data-mine it, with potentially disturbing implications for individual and collective privacy. Ideally, we would leverage these technological advances to provide smarter pervasive and affective applications, without compromising (often hardwon) social constructs such as privacy and other civil liberties.

Thanks to all for the feedback especially Ram Rod, excellent points. I think I am going to stay stock for now, and work on some better technique. Keep Glockin!
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
Laws are restrictive but sometimes necessary to maintain a civil society. Rights are nonrestrictive but are always necessary to maintain a free society.
I've gone the other way, I have rounded the corners on the stock mag release on both my 29 and 20 because that is one of the few things that wasn't backed by leather on my IWB holster. Improved carry comfort allot!!!
I got one from the Glock Store online, put it on my Glock 33, holstered the Glock in my SuperTuck and promptly ejected my magazine! Crap! I took it off immediately and it's now in my Gun Junk Drawer, you know...The stuff you thought would be great and found out was just "not so great" when in use! So if you want to use one, check that your holster will not "pop the release".
Think twice before customizing a carry weapon.

Abraham Lincoln read it with approval, but Emily Dickinson described its bold language and themes as "disgraceful." Ralph Waldo Emerson found it "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet produced." Published at the author's expense on July 4, 1855, Leaves of Grass inaugurated a new voice and style into American letters and gave expression to an optimistic, bombastic vision that took the nation as its subject. Unlike many other editions of Leaves of Grass, which reproduce various short, early versions, this Modern Library Paperback Classics "Death-bed" edition presents everything Whitman wrote in its final form, and includes newly commissioned notes.

Updated on October 26, 2012
Now, here's an awesome hors d'oeuvre to bring to any Halloween party that you may be going to. They're creepy enough to cause a stir, but taste great and are actually healthy. But, before we get to that, what are you all doing for Halloween? Any plans to go to a costume party? How about trick-or-treating in your future? I know that on Wednesday I'll be going trick-or-treating with my sister and nephew, dodging kids while the sprint from house to house. But, tomorrow, I'll be bringing a big ol' plate of these creepy stuffed mushroom "eyeballs".
Not related to Halloween, though very exciting, is that I'll be doing the Walk for Farm Animals in Pasadena tomorrow with Team Keepin' it Kind!! So, not only will I be meeting Kristy from Keepin' it Kind, I'll be walking for a good cause. You can still donate to our team via THIS PAGE, just know that our team, Farm Sanctuary, and the animals will appreciate it, so much.
Back to the recipe, again. These are really easy to make, and the only part that is just a tiny tedious is cutting up the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces. This would make a great project for your kids or even a couple of friends over a glass of wine. So, try it out and have some fun!
One Year Ago: Michigan & Enormous Produce
- 18 oz. Button Mushrooms
- 1 Block Extra Firm Tofu, drained but not pressed
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
- ¾ tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Italian Seasoning
- ½ tsp. Onion Powder
- ⅛ tsp. Black Pepper
- 2½ Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Julienne Cut Sun-dried Tomatoes in bag (not packed in oil)
- 1-2.5 oz. Can of Sliced Black Olives
- Rinse or brush off the mushroom caps and pull all of the stems out of them. Set aside on a baking sheet.
- Puree the tofu, garlic, lemon juice, salt, Italian seasoning, onion powder and black pepper together in a food processor until completely smooth. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag or ziploc bag with a circle tip.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Carefully, pour just a couple of drops of balsamic vinegar into each mushroom cap.
- Pipe the tofu ricotta mixture into each cap so that it creates a small mound. It will be a different amount depending on the size of your mushroom caps.
- Finely chiffonade cut the sun-dried tomato pieces and start placing them on stuffed mushrooms. You can make them more vein-like by scrunching them a bit.
- Top with one slice of olive and press it down just a touch.
- Bake the mushrooms for 10 to 15 mins. or until the caps begin to wrinkly slightly. You can serve these warm (which I prefer), or room temperature.
I mean, really, you don't even have to bring this to a party. Hog them all to yourself and go to town! It'd make a great dinner. 😉

I had the Tai Pei Garlic Shrimp the first time couple weeks ago and thought it was good so I gave this a try. It's hard to believe they are made by the same company. I didn't give the container as close as an inspection as I might have. The cover photo is somewhat misleading in that about half the product is converted white rice. Some of their other products are more obvious about the rice content. Second, this is SWEET. At 10 grams of sugars per serving and technically three servings per box that is about equal to 2 tablespoons of sugar in a cupful of vegetables. It's Pepper Beef but any pepper flavor is lost in the syrup flavors. At 14.2 ounces this is suppose to have three servings. Maybe as a side dish, but with most of it rice and MAYBE two ounces of seasoned meat for the box, it's not the best value. I had the whole box which is only about 600 calories total and 100% of recommended sodium for the day. In all you are better off with a Smart Choice product for about the same price or a cheaper product for the same quality. It's convenient, but there are better options out there.
I buy these up when I see them as our family loves these little meals which are usually enough either for a snack or a meal. Who would of thought it would cost so little to have such a great choice.
This is A Great Meal. Quick , Easy and When I'm Craving Chinese. ..I Go For It!
These Tai Pei boxes are amazing, and I pick some up almost every week. Pepper beef is my husbands favorite and he always eats it mixed with the shrimp fried rice. I like the shrimp, and the chicken fried rice best.
Terrible product. By the weight of the container I thought it was ok for the price, I did not know it contained rice. The rice was not in a separate packet. Once the food was heated and transferred to a dish it was a mushy mess with very little beef or veggie. The taste of the beef was no different than any other brand of frozen meal of a similar product.
It was ok. Wouldn't buy it again
Love it so much. This is must try and you won't be disappointed .
I love these Tai Pei meals, particularly the Pepper Beef - it's as good as Take Out, but way cheaper, and of course really convenient - we take them straight from our Freezer to the microwave - in minutes we have an Asian meal!

Diego Klattenhoff
Donald Ressler
Diego Klattenhoff stars as FBI agent Donald Ressler on NBC's high-action government crime thriller "The Blacklist."
With distinguished roles in a variety of projects, Klattenhoff was most recently seen in the blockbuster sci-fi flick "Pacific Rim," directed by Guillermo del Toro, and he starred as a series regular on the Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-nominated series "Homeland" as Major Mike Faber, best friend to Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis).
Prior to his role in "Homeland," Klattenhoff's big break came when he was cast to play Shane Oman in the cult classic movie "Mean Girls," where he collaborated with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan. Since then, Klattenhoff has consistently worked on several films, including "The Dry Land," "Lucky Number Slevin" and "The Informers."
On the small screen, in addition to "Homeland," Klattenhoff has had memorable guest and recurring character appearances in series such as "Men in Trees," "ER," "Mercy," "Smallville," "Supernatural" and "Falling Skies."
Donald Ressler is a veteran FBI field agent who has been assigned to track Raymond Reddington for the bulk of his career. He was shocked when Reddington turned himself in - and frustrated when, despite his experience and expertise, Red refused to work with him directly. Initially antagonistic, even hostile, the relationship between Red and Ressler has become less strained over the last year - particularly after Red worked tirelessly to save Ressler's life during Anslo Garrick's siege of the Post Office, and later when Red helped bring the men who murdered his fiancée to justice.

Back in 2006, Arthur Samberg's Pequot Capital Management was the subject of an insider-trading investigation after the SEC found out Pequot, then helmed by Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, had profited from using inside information on a Microsoft trade. The investigation was lengthy and high-profile, and Congress got involved, but in the end, the entity couldn't find evidence of any wrongdoing. Of course, as we now know, the SEC missed a lot of things back then, and so this past January they reopened the investigation. But this time, Samberg is giving up without a fight. Yesterday he announced in a letter to investors that he had reached a "painful conclusion" to wind down the firm, which currently manages around $3.47 billion.
"Public disclosures about the continuing investigation have cast a cloud over the firm and have become a source of personal distraction. With the situation increasingly untenable for the firm and for me, I have concluded that Pequot can no longer stay in business."
Samberg maintains he did nothing wrong. "I think this S.E.C. thing has just worn him down," Brad Alford, head of the investment firm Alpha Capital Management and an early investor with Mr. Samberg, told the Times. Sure, of course. SEC exhaustion. It's a real thing.

Plone is one of the easiest CMSes to download and install on your local machine, but when you need to deploy it to a production server you need to learn about Apache vhosts, caching proxies, load balancing, logfile rotation, database packing, backups and security issues. That's a lot to learn just to host a Plone site!
The good news is that much of this complexity can be solved by the effective use of buildout recipes and OS packages. We will look at a working buildout example to see how to put these recipes [1] to use in a production environment, including tools [2] to monitor your site and alert you when it's having problems.
Once your site is deployed, you need to perform regular updates both to Plone and the OS. We will discuss how to best deploy changes to your production server in a consistent and failsafe way, including releasing eggs to your own egg server so that you aren't dependent on the cheeseshop.
Imagine with one command being able to launch a new virtual machine that installs an entire production environment including your custom Plone site in a matter of minutes!? We will look at some of these emerging tools [3] and discuss how they simplify the deployment story.
This talk will benefit those who want to learn about various Plone hosting options (own servers, VPS, Amazon EC2), and ways to optimize the monitoring and deployment of your Plone sites. And for those Plone hosting veterans, you might learn a few new tricks to make your job easier and save time and money.

Limp Bizkit at Varsity Theater, 5/14/13
Photo by Erik Hess
Limp Bizkit with Ryan Campbell
Varsity Theater, Minneapolis
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Limp Bizkit is still very much a "thing," and -- while nu metal is no longer a prominent genre -- still very much alive. The characters within are the DJ, the epic drummer on his raised platform drawing from old-school metal, the bassist wearing a Limp Bizkit T-shirt, costume-prone guitarist Wes Borland in a hoodie and light-up mask, and of course, the now bearded lead singer Fred Durst, charismatic, yet plays the role of the asshole frontman. Even the audience plays their role, a room of testosterone-filled, alcohol-infused crowd ready to "break stuff."

Slideshow: Limp Bizkit at Varsity Theater, 5/14/13
With the lights down and some jazzy music on the PA, Limp Bizkit took their time approaching the stage, letting the suspense build for many who have waited years to see them -- some even their whole lives. As the audience raised their red Solo cups in salute, the band opened with the boisterous "Why Try." At times Fred's voice and lyrical nuances got lost in the instrumentation and the huge wall of sound. That wasn't a problem for the crowd, though.
Photo by Erik Hess
Durst promised the crowd that "it's gonna be a wild-ass party tonight," and quickly launched into one of the band's early hits "Rollin'." While they may not have had as many hits in the last few years, unless you were living under a rock, it was hard to escape the phenomenon that was Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. That album defined the early millennium and influenced many young minds, and included the aptly titled "My Generation," a piece that while not entirely hopeful, simply says this is who I am, take it or leave it.
With the haunting opening riffs of "My Way," the audience immediately recognized the song and began cheering. Noticing the lighting at the Varsity, Fred told the crowd, "Let's break some chandeliers." The singer took the bridge in every song and used it as an opportunity to interact with the audience, often with random thoughts that pop into his head.
During a confusing intermission that lasted a few minutes, whether it was really an intermission or just the band trying to gather themselves, Durst urged the crowd, "Now's the time of the night to get a beer or take a piss." An audience member shouted out a request for "Nookie," and Fred simply said, "I'm gonna play whatever Wes wants to play," before he heard the opening riffs of "Stuck" and declaring, "Aw shit. That's fucking bad[ass]." Perhaps it was Borland being moody, but the band never did play the signature "Nookie." After Chocolate Starfish, Wes left the band for a bit, while they recorded Results May Vary, a telling of the rest of the band's following albums and included the song "Eat You Alive." The piece once again Fred speaking during the bridge -- the calm before the storm -- and leading into a primal scream that sums up all the rage and anger that can be housed in Durst.
Photos by Erik Hess
After a "boob-flashing" contest that was audience initiated, the band gave a nod to fellow rockers Rage Against the Machine with their version of "Killing in the Name," a song that ramped up the group. A few years ago Limp Bizkit covered The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes," a haunting song that was used for the soundtrack on Gothika, a movie that had lukewarm reception from critics. Another foray into the soundtrack world for Limp was "Take a Look Around" for the Mission Impossible II's album. The familiar guitar opening played well into the band's take on the iconic theme and threw the crowd into a frenzy.
With no encore planned, the band closed their set with the "Break Stuff," the defining song that filters all emotions into energy and rage. As he prowled the stage, Durst urged those that didn't want to get lost in it to "move to the sides or exit the building. You might not be ready for what's about to happen."
Critic's bias: I was a fan of Chocolate Starfish, but have not listened to the band for years. They surprisingly put on a good show.
The crowd: Testosterone-filled men and some women. As photographer Erik Hess put it, "It's like I'm back in high school -- just with an older crowd." He also mentioned he witnessed two fist fights between two different men and women.
Overheard in the crowd: "I didn't figure out what 'chocolate starfish' meant until I was 22."
Random notebook dump: Fred Durst has a beard.
Random notebook dump 2: You could meet the band after the show for a fee of $150.

All Rise...
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Babylon 5: The Complete First Season (published November 26th, 2002), Babylon 5: The Complete Second Season (published June 10th, 2003), Babylon 5: The Complete Fifth Season (published May 24th, 2004), and Babylon 5: The Movie Collection (published October 13th, 2004) are also available.
The Charge
"Well, if we lose, there is no 'then what,' and if we win, what next? We're still renegades. I don't think there's anybody left on this side of the galactic core that we haven't already honked off. We can't go home. Sometimes, I don't know which scares me more, winning or losing."—Michael Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle)
Opening Statement
Next time, listen to the Vorlon, stupid. When he tells you that if you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die, it is not a bloody metaphor. Now the Shadows are running riot through the galaxy. Earth is in the hands of a xenophobic tyrant. Your television network is about to fold and take your show with it. And you are dead. Welcome to the year 2261.
How do you plan to fix this mess, smart guy?
The Evidence
Blame it on the WB. After four seasons pushing Babylon 5 as part of its syndicated network PTEN (Prime Time Entertainment Network), Warner Brothers was ready to close up shop. After all, there was now a real network to support, anchored on local stations and ready to challenge the big boys. This meant that any shows circulated on PTEN were doomed.
So, even with solid ratings and a reputation as the only science fiction show since Star Trek to make it through three seasons, Babylon 5 was in trouble. Never mind that J. Michael Straczynski had promised fans a carefully developed five-year story. Never mind that the series had already scored one Hugo Award (for "The Coming of Shadows") and was due this season for a second one (for the stunning "Severed Dreams"). He would have to wrap things up in year four. This meant compressing the series' two major storylines—the Shadow War and the rescue of Earth from its tyrannical government—into fewer episodes. Subplots needed to be pushed aside or left underdeveloped. The story needed closure.
The fourth season of the series follows the show's two major epic storylines to their ultimate conclusions. The first third of the season picks up the Shadow War at its most sinister stage. John Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) has died at Z'ha'dum, as predicted by the Vorlon Kosh. Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle) has disappeared, kidnapped by a Shadow vessel the same day as Sheridan's death, then handed over to—well, that would be telling. On Centauri Prime, mad Emperor Cartagia (Wortham Krimmer) is trying to outdo Caligula, hoping to fulfill his ambitions of godhood by turning the planet over to Shadow forces and their flunkie, Morden (Ed Wasser), in anticipation of his eventual apotheosis. Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari (Peter Jurasik) must coddle the emperor in order to keep his head attached, but he can do little to help his rival, Narn Ambassador G'Kar (Andreas Katsulas), who quickly finds himself in the clutches of the Centauri authorities while out searching for the missing Garibaldi. The alien governments, lost without guidance, are easy prey for the Shadows. In short, things look very bad for our heroes.
Did I mention that Sheridan is dead? Yes, he does start off the season that way, but he quickly feels much better. And so our heroes march inexorably toward the climax of the Shadow War and a massive, if somewhat talky, battle in episode six, "Into the Fire." With that little piece of business out of the way, Sheridan and company can turn their attention toward Earth.
The tyranny of President Clark has, by season four, forced Earth into complete isolation, its government infiltrated by Psi Corp and Shadow agents. Babylon 5 is no longer a part of the Earth Alliance, and government forces step up the pressure to destroy the rebellion. Of course, other players in this game (Bester and the sinister Psi Corps, for instance) have their own agendas. Being a hero is never an easy thing, is it? For the final dozen or so episodes of the season, JMS juggles three major plotlines: a civil war among the Minbari, Michael Garibaldi's betrayal of his friends, and the struggle to free Earth from Clark's rule. In the first, Mira Furlan takes the spotlight as the Minbari religious and warrior castes vie for authority. Here, Delenn does what she is best at: furrowing her brows and making everyone feel terribly guilty at their lack of honor. The third storyline follows Sheridan's characteristically brilliant strategy for defeating Clark's forces. Few dramatic television shows have had a lead character so unapologetically intelligent—and backed up that intelligence with intricate plotting that does not talk down to the audience. Indeed, the entire fourth season is dubbed "No Surrender, No Retreat," after the episode in which Sheridan demonstrates his tactical skill during the space battle for Proxima 3. This battle is almost as good as the classic third-season episode "Severed Dreams" (still the best space battle ever shown in a television series), lacking only that episode's moral ambiguity (but replacing it with righteous anger).
Where the fourth season of Babylon 5 suffers, bringing it only slightly lower than the previous season—although certainly not by any means anticlimactic—is in its pacing. Certain storylines feel compromised by the need to squeeze so much plot into a single season. Straczynski's original plan was to stretch out the battle for Earth a bit longer, to leave the characters' fates (particularly Sheridan and Garibaldi, who both undergo major trauma late in the season) hanging until season five. Garibaldi's trials in particular get solved much too quickly in the last few episodes.
The real irony is that, after packing up the major plotlines in season four, the show was picked up for its fifth season by PTEN's in-house cable rival, TNT. JMS had already shot the series finale, "Sleeping in Light," with the main cast. Now he had to shelve it, recall the actors in a hurry, and slap together an outline for the fifth season that could take advantage of some of the dangling loose ends always left over in a story of such scale as Babylon 5. In the rush to sign all the actors back up, Claudia Christian (who plays Susan Ivanova) was left behind (and accounts differ as to whose fault this was). As to the other problems with season five—well, we will just have to look at those another time.
Claudia Christian's presence is sorely missed from the hastily written "new" season closer, "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars." JMS relies on his background in theater to concoct a stagy, overly talky look at the impact of our heroes on future generations. On his commentary track for the episode, he is rather coy about Christian's whereabouts and, as usual, tends to avoid behind-the-scenes tales. In between repeating plot points, he does offer a few tantalizing hints about subplots still left unexplored in the series and some of the Babylon 5 philosophy. JMS turns in a livelier commentary on the pivotal "Face of the Enemy," teaming with director Michael Vejar to chat about the logistical aspects of shooting such an ambitious series.
But, of course, the best commentary track, as Babylon 5 fans know by now, comes from the actors. Bruce Boxleitner and Jerry Doyle are back, teasing one another mercilessly, and this time they are joined by Patricia Tallman and Peter Jurasik. These cast tracks get funnier every season. So what is the deal with the dent in Jerry Doyle's head, anyway?
In our discussion of the season two set, I criticized the mediocre video quality of Warner Brothers' six-disc package. This time out, things seem to have improved. The anamorphic widescreen transfer is quite acceptable, particularly during the special-effects-laden action sequences. Disc six rounds out the extras with a featurette on composer Christopher Franke and his difficult task of creating an original score for every episode of the series. We are also treated to a suite of Franke's music set to clips from the fourth season. The usual "Universe of Babylon 5" segments are present, as well as a gag reel (not an Easter egg this time; that distinction goes to a graphics demo reel of the show's titular space station).
Closing Statement
If it seems as if we have less to say about season four of the finest science fiction show on television, it is only because we have said so much already. We are also so deep in the twists and turns of the story that to say too much—hell, to even give you episode summaries—would spoil all the surprises. Suffice it to say that on Babylon 5, you can never tell exactly who your friends are, what your enemies want, or what you are capable of doing in order to win the fight. Look for allies to betray the cause and the bad guys to show their true colors. And look for a major character to die tragically. But you sort of knew all this would happen: JMS never stages any victories on this show that are not tinged with a little tragedy. To say more would spoil all the fun.
Besides, if you have already watched the first three seasons, you are obligated (and there will probably soon be a law) to follow Straczynski's story to its fiery climax. While the fifth season has its flaws, Season four is an admirable successor to the show's already stellar reputation. Go and buy it now, before we send the Psi Corps to your house to, um, convince you.
The Verdict
This court orders President Clark and the Shadows to surrender to authorities immediately. John Sheridan and his rebels are released and commended.
Case dismissed.

Did we give Babylon 5: The Complete Fourth Season a fair trial? yes / no

What does it mean when my charger light blinks 8 times on hp 8510p
Hello, I have an HP 8510p laptop. Actually, two of them.
One died a couple months ago. I hit the power button, with battery in and AC plug connected, and the charging light on the front left side of the machine blinks 8 times, nothing else happens.
I recently moved and have not plugged in my main laptop (just shut lid to hibernate). It was not used for about 4 days. Now, it is doing the same thing.
Come to think of it, I do some basic PC repair. I had an HP DV7 and an older Compaq model, both had issues like this. Any help? Googling "charger light blinks 8 times" returns nothing.

I just updated the plugin and when I did, my featured listings are no longer displaying at the top of the page, they are just listed in alphabetical order.
Also, I noticed that when I click Manage Featured in the backend, my featured listings to not show up there. I don't think this ever worked, this is not something that changed with the upgrade. But i have customers paying to have their listings at the top of the page, so it is imperative that I get those back at the top of the page.

How can I make shampoo out of soap bars?
There's this soap that I really like and leaves my hair glowing and feeling very clean. I would like to "melt" the soaps into a bottle so I can use it as proper shampoo, especially when I go to the gym. Does anyone know how this can be done?
why so many different types of soap
What are the differences between hand soap, face soap, body wash, shampoo and dish soap (among others)? Is it pure marketing BS? If I (uh, theoretically) was out of face and hand soap, could I substitute, say, shampoo in a pinch? Yes, I understand that what with free will and all, I "could" use fruit punch or pretty much anything, but I'm talking about products that will actually function as passable replacements.

I'm sure the GOP will pounce, and so what? Each time they gay bash, the median age of GOP members goes up by two months.
I'm really very much of the opinion that the only point of this debate is to get gay money. I hope it's entirely unsuccessful. After reading about how gay donors are concentrating on key state legislative races, I want them to continue. $2k doesn't mean much more than getting a lot of junk mail and maybe a chance for a handshake in a presidential race, but in a state legislative race, it can mean victory.

"The tip of the boot - Calabria" Calabria by maybetara
Calabria Travel Guide: 162 reviews and 406 photos
Calabria, at the tip of Italy, is more isolated than most of the other regions, thanks to the denseness of mountains and forestation of its landscape and that of Basilicata, the region above Calabria.
1. Flying Jesus:
45 minutes from Cosenza, Calabria by car, Maratea in the region of Basilicata located just above Calabria, is home to the iconic religious symbol - the flying Jesus. Apparently, the second largest semblance of Jesus Christ made by man (the biggest being the Christ figure in Rio de Janeiro), the Jesus figure in Maratea sits at the highest point of one of Maratea's many mountainous peaks. When observed at night from a distance, the huge form, its whiteness superimposed against the black of night, looks as if it's flying. Hence its name.
2.The food
Calabrian food is more spicy than many other regions. Peppers are used more liberally here. While they were not spicy to me (chillies are essential in my culture's diet) at all, my napolitano friends found the typically Calabrian-style spicy foods a little too exciting for their tongues. "A bomb!!", one of them exclaimed dramatically when he chewed on a wedge of salsiccia piccante (spicy sausage). Calabrian cured meats are wonderful.
3.Jewels on the beach
Coming from a tropical region, I've never seen pebble beaches. Those in calabria were so pretty, i went to the beach everyday and for many hours at a stretch. Baked under the sun, the pebbles looked white and grey and powdery. But in the water, they took on the semblance of round jewels - semi-precious stones of all colours, shapes and sizes, their forms polished to roundness and smoothness by years and years of tossing in the sea and washing out to shore.
- Pros:Mountains at the back and the sea at the fore...beautiful!
- Cons:Crowds in summer

A Checklist for Back-to-School Night
Whew! Our Back-to-School Night is over, and the year is finally and officially off and running. I always enjoy back-to-school night. I like the clean smell of a classroom at night. I like the golden hour light on a school building. I like the suspenseful buzz waiting for the principal to finish speaking and dismiss his or her staff to their classrooms before the hoards of families follow.
Back-to-School Night gives you a chance to meet those clients face-to-face. I appreciated that this year my site had chosen to move ours earlier on the calendar so that we could share our policies and expectations earlier. The crummy part is that no matter how early we schedule it (in our case, it was only four days after the start of school) parents still want to know, "how's my kid doing?" And your child is . . . ?
Nevertheless, I like back-to-school night. I like the smiles and the hopeful conversations. I like starting to fill in the blanks about each and every student in each and every period.
By the time I had walked into my classroom last night at 5pm, our new principal and his six-year-old son had delivered little plants to every room to cheer us on. Our schools' new administration building looked all grand-spangled new, and our ASB kids were out in force answering questions alongside the PTA president. I even change out my sensible shoces for heels and throw on some lipstick. We all cleaned up real nice.
Sure, there's always a flip side to the night, but it doesn't define it. At some point during the evening, some parent will back me against a corner and pummel me with questions about things I have no control over. It might be the time we spend on testing or criticizing an adopted textbook.
Last night, it was a mom that was so nervous about what she was hearing about the Common Core standards that it translated into aggression very early in the evening. I focused my response on the 4Cs (collaborating, communication, critical thinking, and creativity) and gave an example of a popular activity my students have done in the past that just happened to be CC aligned.
Another couple came at me wanting to know where I stood on a district policy about elementary summer school. But I'm a middle school teacher and the next summer is 10 months away, I wanted to say in confusion. My purposefully vague response politely asked that they contact our administration team with any questions about summer, and they left in a huff. (Not quite sure what that was about, but I have a sneaky suspicion I'll hear about it again.)
Nevertheless, all of this is fine because I understand where it comes from. I'm a parent too, after all. I've been to nerve-soothing nights and I've been to nerve-racking nights. It's in the fear of what the new year might hold, and my hope is that after the parents talk to me and meet me, some of that fear will melt away.
But despite the inevitable parent who choses confrontation as a proactive means to ensure that you are paying attention to their child's needs, the fact is that Back-to-School Night is far more often a way to make those parents smile and excited about the school year. It's a way for them to feel confident about you and the time their child spends with you. In fact, a great Back-to-School Night can really go a long way towards the success of your upcoming school year.
So I think hard about what would make my room inviting and informative. Welcome to my classroom on Back-to-School Night. By opening up my room to you, I hope that it might give you some ideas to help make your own evening a successful one.
5 Must-Haves for BTSN
# 1. Sign-ins on every table: I admit it. It only took me 15 years to figure out that I need to have sign-ins on every table and not just at a single station at the front of the room. That way, there isn't a bottleneck at the door, and all families can hear the schpeel from minute one.
# 2. Brochures: I always design a brochure so parents don't have to take notes based on my Powerpoint. The sections include: about me, where to find the classroom website, the standards covered, materials students need, contact information, classroom slogan, and a few other things.
# 3. Classroom Constitution: I really try to have this completed by BTSN. The classroom constitution is a document that all students have a hand in creating. It sets the academic and behavioral standards that they want to see in the classroom, and it becomes a goal-setting document for me to help make that environment happen. They then all sign it. This year, it was easy to have completed by this night because I had all the table groups from each of the periods contribute ideas to a Google Document. I then edited it, combining repeating themes, making multiple simple sentences into compound sentences, and formatting it to fit the poster. This poster hangs in my room all year and I copy and paste the text from the Google Doc onto my classroom website. By having it hanging up in time for BTSN, you're also already proving that the learning has begun.
# 4. Powerpoint/Keynote/Google Presentation: I have this running behind me as I do my 10-minute presentation. This includes an about me slide, a slide on the 4Cs and Common Core State Standards, a slide with a live link to my classroom website so I can walk them through the menu bar, contact information, and a slide begging for donations. Typically, I beg for the following: tissues, hand sanitizer, crayons/markers/highlighters, and reams of paper. Reams of paper are gold on my campus. Any teacher with paper becomes instantaneously popular. Incidentally, every year, I scramble trying to find the computer I created my last presentation on. Was it my personal laptop or my school desktop? This year, I created it using Google Presentations. Never again will I have to scramble!
# 5. The classroom environment: Even though it's early in the year, I still make sure that I set up an environment I know students will like, will engage them, challenge them, and make them think about what's to come. It works that way with parents as well. They want to be able to picture their own kids learning in the room. The environment itself can play a role in their yearlong support. The effort to get it ready is vital.

Great tips Heather! I have several new teacher colleagues at my high school, and they will find this very useful. At our school, BTSN is organized so parents travel from class to class according to their student's schedule - 10 minutes per class, and a passing period. 10 minutes is very short, so I have developed a PowerPoint slide show to keep me focused as I present all the basis information, and leave the last couple minutes for questions. Like you suggest, I have clipboards around the room where parents can sign in and leave me contact info, and questions for later follow up. I am sure to have extra copies of my "French Class Success Guide" which I give to students the first day of school. I ask them to share it with parents, but teens are sometimes forgetful (I am sure that surprises you deeply!). The most important thing, is to make a positive connection. It may be the only time we ever meet the parents of most of our students, but that human contact provides context for emails and phone calls for the whole year!
Who else has some ideas to share? Looking forward to the conversation.
Of the millions of curriculum nights there's one that I'll remember forever and they were all pretty dang memorable. In the third period session for a class where I had six kids, six parents came in, and without prompting, sat in exactly the seat where their child sits. There were twelve desks in The Cozy Room of Learning. I stood there, dumfounded. I finally told them what just happened. I had to. They were as amazed at me. A couple of the parents, however, were visibly unnerved by it. They looked at the desk they were sitting in, and then lifted their hands up off of the desktop, as if it was covered with germs.
Todd's teaching memoir, "Can't Wait to Get There. Can't Wait to Leave," at corkscrew turns hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking, will be published this fall by Stairway Press.
Heather... A few things I love that are little - but greatly appreciated. The sign up in several locations. There is nothing more annoying than standing in line to sign a piece of paper to say you were there.
The other thing...the brochure. As a parent (especially with multiple teachers to visit re multiple children), I am not going to remember all the little things in your PowerPoint. I would much rather read it at home and contact you with questions as needed (and refer back to throughout the year). On BTSN, I want to hear about the little things that I cannot read about. Hear the answers to those questions you know we all will ask. AND...I want to see your personality. I want to know my child is with someone who cares about him/her.
In a Voxer conversation today, a parent shared a suggestion that they are planning to do at their BTSN. They were giving the parents a chance to introduce themselves in the classrooms because they found many parents never got a chance to meet each other otherwise. As our PTO president, on BTSN, I use that time to share information about our school community...not so much push for parents to sign up or donate. I like the idea of using the night to strengthen relationships/build a community.
Thanks for sharing...and here's to a fabulous year!!
Great suggestions! I also appreciate the comment from Gwen.
I am trying to figure out what applies to my situation, as I am a teacher (and parent) at a VERY small school. Most people already know me, my personality and each other. They have already been to my blog, read my FAQ and visited the classroom. The ones who are trying to be proactive by being confrontational (I love that line) have not waited until back to school night to begin their proactiveness.
We have btsn this Thursday, and here is what I am struggling with this Labor Day morning. I am still in the process of setting up the Daily 3 routines with my students. However, I have this great bulletin board that is eventually going to have QR codes linked to student blog posts. Do I scrap the order of my plans for this week and work hard to get these ready for Thursday night? If I don't, no one will ever see the QR codes. If I do, some students might not be finished by Thursday night...
It's okay to show a work in progress at Back to School Night. Is there a way you could show SOME of it without scrapping all your plans for the week?
Good luck!!
Great suggestions. I especially love the first and second, the sign-in at all locations and brochure that highlights your webpage. Some larger districts maintain and cultivate e-mail databases for parents that are tied directly to the class roster so they are able to send messages by groupings automatically (the district my children attend). Some smaller ones -- like many we work with -- do not have such a system in place. Obtaining contact information is vital to building relationships with parents. Just remember to be sure to share information with them on a regular basis ... you have a great captive audience!
As for promoting your teacher webpage: Rock On! Teacher webpages are a fantastic source of information for parents, especially when chock-full of information of as links to homework, syllabus (where applicable), assignment/quiz/test calendar, teacher contact information, links to social networking sites and even news from the main district site (some parents will spend more time on your pages than the district or school's main site). We have a few more tips here: http://www.eschoolview.com/School-Software-Blog.aspx
Here's to a great year!!
Thank you for this great list. From next month i will be a classroom teacher for the first time. The thing I am most nervous about is the contact to the parents and the back to school night. but i think with your tips I'm goin to make it :) what kind of internet provider do you use for the classroom-homepage. I would like to use one, which not everybody can visit. I mean something where you need a password as it has to be secure.
can you recommend something?
thanks a lot.
