none better
There might be a hardwood floor company as good as Thousand Woods, but NONE better. The owner checked in every day and his forman, Ruben, was very careful of our irreplaceable furnishings. They were not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but gave us wonderful value. Quality folks doing quality work; we could not be happier.

Connecting Farms, Communities, and Consumers
- 03-18-2011
- By Lisa Chase
Many farms in Vermont and throughout the Northeast are struggling to keep their land in farming and their families employed on their farms while sustainably managing resources for the long term. Suburban sprawl and second home development have led to increases in land values and property taxes, threatening working farms and available farmland. At the same time, tourism and culinary industries are expanding, providing opportunities for farms interested in diversifying and sharing their products, heritage, and landscapes directly with consumers. In Vermont and other Northeastern states, tourism is the first or second revenue-generating source and agricultural operations are in the top ten. The economic impacts of blending tourism and agriculture have significant potential.
Agritourism refers to enterprises and activities that are conducted on farm sites for the education, recreation and enrichment of visitors. Agritourism can take many forms including overnight farm stays, retail sales, hay rides, corn mazes, pick-your-own operations, and use of woodlands on farms for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and other activities. There may be educational components including programs for schoolchildren and elderhostel tours, as well as exhibits and demonstrations tailored to specific visitor groups. In essence, agritourism is providing educational and authentic agricultural experiences that enhance direct marketing of farm products and improve public support for agriculture. Agritourism enterprises allow farms to diversify their core operations, add jobs for family members and others, and keep land in production while preserving scenic vistas, maintaining farming traditions, and educating non-farmers about the importance of agriculture to a community's economic base, quality of life, history and culture.
Agritourism is growing rapidly in Vermont and other areas of the U.S., however the industry remains underdeveloped in many states, lacking technical assistance support, infrastructure, and networking opportunities to ensure best practices. To address this need, Extension educators and farmers in Vermont collaborated with other Northeastern states to develop agritourism training modules. With funding from a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Educations (SARE) grant and additional resources, 19 workshops were held between January 2009 and March 2010 in 10 states in the Northeast, and 763 farmers attended. The workshops were followed by technical assistance available to farmers.
A survey immediately after the workshops indicated that 97 percent of respondents increased their knowledge of income-generating opportunities for agritourism, 92 percent planned to assess their business to determine where improvements or new ventures were needed, and 84 percent planned to implement improvements or new ventures. A web survey one year after the workshops found that 81 percent of respondents had assessed their business to determine where improvements or new ventures were needed while 64 percent had implemented improvements or new ventures. To evaluate contributions to farm viability, increases in farm profitability as well as increases in quality of life of farmers were measured. Of farmers responding to the survey, 64 percent reported a positive impact on profitability and 79 percent reported increases in their quality of life as a result of changes made based on information received through workshops and technical assistance
Trevin Farms of Sudbury is one of the farms benefiting from the Extension program on agritourism. Visitors to Trevin Farms can learn about making goat cheese from the dairy goats on the farm, and they can enjoy a breakfast made from local ingredients when they stay overnight at the farm's bed-and-breakfast. With assistance from Extension, Trevin Farms reports, "We were able to implement our business plan and reach our goal of increased profitability. Revenue was more than double our expectations."
Beth Kennett, farmer and innkeeper at Liberty Hill Farm in Rochester regularly participates in workshops and programs offered through Extension. Liberty Hill Farm's dairy business is complemented by a farm stay bed-and-breakfast and maple syrup production. With three generations of the Kennett family living on the farm, diversification is key for providing stability when milk prices fluctuate. Beth explains, "I am constantly learning and adapting my business. There are few opportunities other than Extension for business development relevant to agritourism, and the schedule of life on the farm precludes me from finding other sources of continuing education."
One workshop stands out for Beth as being particularly helpful: Website Tools for Farms, a hands-on workshop held in a computer lab for farms interested in agritourism and direct sales. The workshop was partially funded by a grant from the National e-Commerce Extension Initiative. According to Beth, "I discovered that my website was 'pretty' but absolutely dysfunctional. Search engines were not able to read it and,�therefore, not many visitors were finding my website and making reservations at the farm stay." Beth worked with a web service provider found through Extension resources and�quickly experienced�a dramatic increase in her farm stay business reservations. Beth states, "You don't know what you don't know! I am so thankful that Extension offered this workshop and I attended. It made all the difference in my financial viability last year. Without the changes made, I would not have survived the downturn in the economy."

Hit for Haiti
Yesterday evening, eight greats of tennis - four women and four men - gathered for a "Hit for Haiti" fundraiser event in Indian Wells.
For the first time since the stadium at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian was built ten years ago, it was sold out for an evening session. The event, with the American Red Cross taking collections from those in attendance, was meant to raise $1 million for Haiti relief. It looks like way more has been collected!
The funny talk and play certainly amused the crowd and all the stars seemed to have a great time, too. After Martina Navratilova and Justine Henin opposed Steffi Graf and Lindsay Davenport in an exhibition doubles set, the team of Roger-Pete Sampras engaged a Rafael Nadal-Andre Agassi tandem. The outcome? Navratilova/Henin and our champ's team defeated their opponents 8-6 alike.
Today is your first match at IW. I remember you mentining that the first match, the start, is always difficult no matter who your opponent is! And you are right. I wish you good start, I hope you'll not have to much trouble. Anyhow, don't unde
Ar, Roger, may I ask you a question? I have it top on my query and the answer of it I cannot answer myself or make a guess.

As polesitter Jolyon Palmer spun his wheels off the line, Vandoorne grabbed the lead into Turn 1, ahead of Stephane Richelmi, Stefano Coletti, Rio Haryanto and Mitch Evans.
Palmer slipped back to sixth, while Evans relieved Haryanto of fourth at Turn 1 at the start of lap two.
The safety car was then required as Kimiya Sato punted Axcil Jefferies into a high-speed crash on the approach to Turn 4 from which the Zimbabwean emerged unscathed.
At the restart, four of the leading pack dived into the pits to get rid of their soft tyres for hards as the pit window opened: Richelmi, Coletti, Haryanto and Nasr.
Evans and Palmer left their stops a lap later, and Palmer was the big beneficiary, leaping from sixth to second with "a really good stop".
Julian Leal then came into the podium frame, despite starting 12th on the grid. He stopped on lap eight, and rejoined right with Palmer, effectively in third place.
The race splintered into two elements, as those who started on the hard-compound tyres ran a long first stint. Among them was Simon Trummer, who stalled his Rapax machine on the dummy grid and started from the pitlane.
He worked his way through the hard tyre runners to inherit the lead when Nathanael Berthon pitted (the two almost colliding as Trummer was passing Berthon as he tried to enter the pits).
Despite a botched stop for Berthon, which required his wheels re-tightening a lap later, he immediately set a sequence of fastest laps, which should have been the trigger for Trummer to pit.
However, his Rapax team ordered him to stay out until just two laps to go, while others who had pitted earlier, such as Takuya Izawa, tore through the pack on their fresh soft rubber.
Ahead of all the frantic action in the pack, Vandoorne coasted home to a 1.5s victory over Leal, who passed the tyre-troubled Palmer with two laps to go at Turn 1.
"It was incredible today," said Vandoorne. "I had a really good start and managed my tyres.
"Thanks to the team for giving me a really amazing car. Every lap my engineer told me to get with [the pace of] Jolyon, and I was able to manage it."
Palmer held on to third, just ahead of Coletti. Arthur Pic managed to finish fifth from ninth on the grid, making it a great return to the series for Campos Racing.
As Evans and Haryanto tumbled down the order, to 14th and 16th respectively, Izawa rocketed up to sixth, finishing ahead of Trummer who he'd been well behind when he pitted.
Nasr took eighth, and reversed-grid pole for Sunday's race, with Rene Binder and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs rounding out the top 10.

Loan Duration
Loans don't last forever; they just feel like they do.
When companies and governments issue bonds, they attach a maturity date to them. The maturity date can range from a few years to a really long time (Disney has 100 year bonds, in case you're planning on freezing your head). In a lot of cases, bonds are linked to the expiration of a loan or how long a company expects to take to repay a debt.
Bonds that are issued for long periods of time will have much more volatile prices than bonds with shorter durations. Why? Well, over many years, a lot can change in a company, which can make the prices of bonds change. On top of that, inflation and other market concerns can change the price of bonds over a longer period.
For companies, long duration bonds can make sense. Having decades to pay off the bills is a nice luxury, especially if the company grows. Being able to pay off $10 million in bonds when a company is young can be bruising. But paying that same $10 million when the company has ballooned into a multi-billion dollar and multi-national enterprise? Puh-lease. That's someone's tie clip budget.

Hilda Downer, Battle at Blair Mountain
Hilda Downer
A harsh truth in childhood:
who has the most money
to have the most soldiers
Those plastic green men are formidable,
deadpan faces staring in panic
at not being able to move a finger,
feet captured in puddles of fear.
Redundant postures march awkward
up a steep bank the way
an old commercial showed a truck
could power straight up a mountainside
by tilting the picture so hemlocks,
almost horizontal, speared the sky.
The bomber squad over Blair Mountain
endorsed the same green configuration
of ground troops scaling rock and ridge –
1921: the United States at civil war
with the Appalachian people.
Though one bomb did not explode,
the big guns of poverty and displacement
continue the genocide today
with each subtraction
of another coal-seamed mountain range,
adding up to more fire power
than "Little Boy"
on Hiroshima.
Still emulating gunfire,
little boys are gathered for sleep,
hard soldiers in a pile
like pieces that do not fit what is broken –
alert to ambush bare feet.
Only a few remain on the battlefield,
the solar warmth they hold
quickly draining.
Never having been alive
does not stop their grim stare
into the shotgun barrel of the full moon.
Bio: Born in Bandana, NC, Hilda Downer is a professor of English at Appalachian State University

So much going on in this poem. Here is a bit about Blair Mountain from Wikipedia:
The Battle of Blair Mountain was one of the largest civil uprisings in United States history and the largest armed rebellion since the American Civil War.[1] For five days in late August and early September 1921, in Logan County, West Virginia, some 10,000 armed coal miners confronted 3,000 lawmen and strikebreakers, called the Logan Defenders,[2] who were backed by coal mine operators during an attempt by the miners to unionize the southwestern West Virginia coalfields.
The most important part is in the third stanza: "poverty and displacement continue the genocide today," but of course, the genocide has expanded to involve and include the natural world through the practice of mountain top removal and now fracking.
Brilliant poem.
The love of home and the surroundings home really come out. The need to protect and care for the things that really matter sings out loud and
strong and the beauty lies therein.

CHENNAI: Billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and investor Radhakrishna Damani plan to buy one crore shares in Sterling Holiday Resorts up to 90 a piece, providing the much-needed funds for the financially-troubled company, two people familiar with the negotiations said.
The transaction may be announced as early as Wednesday after the company's board meeting, they said. This deal may be a turning point in the company's life after it fell by the way side due to high debt and a wrong development policy that left it without much recurring income in the '90s.

I also have a tattoo of my late dachshund, Henry. I really am a crazy dog lady. I do enjoy the look on Magnus' face in this photo. It's totally an annoyed look at me lifting him up in this way. Sorry Magnus.

No i must have misunderstood you
1 would beat all of them
followed by 2
the position from the left determines their place
the first from the left is the first place winner for each voter
So the count of the number of candidates that are beaten is not important?
The fact that candidate 1 has beaten 7 other candidates is not useful.
I cant think of a reason to use it.
Is it important which candidate is beaten?
I don't understand the rules.
You said:
1 is the winner because he beats 0 twice and 2 twice.
Is it important who is beaten?
so your votes in your file:
0 1 2
1 0 2
2 1 0
would fill a table like the following:
Voters In Order | 1stVote | 2ndVote | 3rdVote
First Voter's Card | cand.0 | cand.1 | cand.2
2nd Voter's Card | cand.1 | cand.0 | cand.2
3rd Voter's Card | cand.2 | cand.1 | cand.0
It looks like you're suppose to implement something similar to Instant runoff voting. However, I can't tell how you're handling tie-breakers.

Sarah's "Rubber Duck" Room
Rubber Duck
Location:Chicago, Illinois
Colors Used
Chartreuse, teals, orange, yellows, olive, wood
Color Inspiration
The smaller pillows on the center of the couch I thrifted in college and have only recently decided to use as a focal point and inspiration. This palette seemed to come together seamlessly when my boyfriend and I moved in together and combined furniture. I wanted to go for a modern, masculine approach and tended to put what I already had that supported this in the room.
Color Tips
Don't be ashamed or afraid to gravitate to the colors that make you happy. Look for new ways of using colors you love. Use color on small things and in small ways to make a big impact so that it won't be too much of a financial burden if you change your mind. And spray paint is your best friend!
Favoriting and voting have ended.
Comments (6)
Pantone #631 is nice. I think it would be great with both the couch and chair, and I think it should match the pillows. It would look good with the light in the room too, plus this color just makes me happy:) Is it going to be an accent wall or the whole room?
#14 should win this contest. It has great colors, but could use some more color, interest on the walls.
The radio is from Target many years ago, it still works! The painting above the couch is by a friend Chris Kelly: http://jumpthecity.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the feedback y'all!

The Birthday Party
Program Goal
Students will recognize and discuss certain aspects of daily life, which have changed during Kentucky's history and other things, which have remained the same.
Program Summary
In a fantastic dream about his up-coming birthday party, a Kentucky boy learns a good deal about changes in Kentucky life over the past 200 years. Billy Clay's party guests are his grandparents, great-grandparents, and other relatives several times removed, dressed as they would have been as 10-yearolds going to a birthday party. Their gifts for Billy are toys from each child's time period. Together they also trace the evolution of Billy's house from its log cabin beginnings to its present state. Other topics, such as food and games, are touched upon.
Historical Background
Social and Cultural Changes (1750-Present)
Although political affairs and economic trends have made a great impact upon the history of Kentucky, social and cultural changes have played an equally important role in the development of the state. From the days of the pioneers through the 19th century and down to the present, material culture (objects) and folkways (customs) have shaped Kentucky and Kentuckians. Over the years, environmental and technological factors greatly influenced styles of architecture, clothing, food, and even toys, but despite various physical changes, Kentuckians continued to hold home and family in deep regard.
The first settlers to Kentucky built one-room, floorless log cabins with a single door, no windows and a wood and mud chimney. The cracks between the notched logs were filled with chinking and moist clay. By the 1780's, floors of hewn slabs (puncheons) supported by saplings were added, and chimneys were built of stone or brick. Larger cabins often had lofts that could be used for storage or as an additional sleeping area. In time, the double log house with a roofed entry between its two parts (called a dog-trot) evolved on the frontier. Many cabins in the 1790's had a "lean-to" at one side. In the mountains and more rural areas of the state, log cabin architecture continued throughout the 19th century.
However, by 1800, framed houses of sawed and dressed lumber began to outnumber log cabins in the more urban areas. Called Plantation Plain style, these two-story frame houses, covered with weatherboard or clapboard, had a two-over-two room plan flanking a central hallway. Pillars with simple capitals supported the shed roof porch and narrow sash windows with as many as twelve panes graced the dwelling. Plantation Plain homes became very important in Kentucky architecture. With a few modifications, this style was the basic plan to which many residents later added Greek Revival porticos and Victorian decorative trim.
By the late 1790's, wealthy Kentuckians had begun to build houses of stone and brick in the Georgian style, which was characterized by a symmetrical design using centered doors and windows at equidistance. In the 1820's and 1830's front porches with tall columns and triangular pediments (gables) were added and the style was often referred to as Greek Revival; the front entrance generally led to a hall from which a stairway wound gracefully to the second floor. Greek Revival homes also featured high ceilings, tall mantels, large living rooms (salons) and carved woodwork.
By the mid-19th century, Gothic Revival architecture had arrived in Kentucky and was being used for everything from cottages to stone castles. It was characterized by steeply pitched roofs, large pointed windows, and gingerbread trim along eaves and gable edges. Later in the century, the Victorian Gothic style featured multi colored exterior finishes and towers with conical roofs, and the Second Empire style introduced the convex-sided mansard roof. With an eye to the future, Louisville built its first ten-story skyscraper (Sullivanesque style) in 1890.
With the approach of the 20th century and on into the 1940's, Kentuckians constructed houses in the Pyramid Vernacular and Bungalow styles. The Pyramid's basic plan was a one- or two-story four-square house topped by a steeply pitched hip roof; the Bungalow was a one-story dwelling, featuring gently pitched broad gables with a lower gable always covering an open or screened-in porch facing the street. A simple, functional house, the bungalow's exterior walls were of wood shingles, brick or stucco.
Since World War II, low one-story ranch homes, neo-colonial style architecture, and glass and metal structures have dominated Kentucky's architectural landscape. The vast majority of houses have followed fairly well standardized floor plans, featuring three bedrooms and one-and-one-half baths. In recent years, escalating construction costs have led to the extensive use of mobile homes, and an increasing emphasis on social mobility has made apartment and condominium dwellings popular. The fuel-efficient home has also received favorable notice.
Frontier Kentuckians dressed very simply. Men wore buckskin hunting shirts, breeches, leggings and moccasins plus an animal-skin cap, often with a furry tail attached. When deer became scarce, linsey-woolsey cloth and other fabrics were used. Women dressed in these materials, too. In winter, they wore moccasins, and in warm weather they went bare-foot. For many years frontier women made most of the family's clothes, although in time garments became available in stores and from peddlers.
As the 19th century progressed, clothing styles changed. Kentuckians engaged in manual labor discarded buckskin; high-waisted trousers, homespun shirts, boots, and large hats became the standard garb. Held up by suspenders (belts and belt loops belong in the 20th century), trousers were often of denim and were called jeans (in other areas they were known as Kentucky jeans). During the 19th century, townsmen wore top hats, double-breasted frock coats with vests, high waisted uncreased trousers and cravats tied in a bow. Although the top hat continued to be the favorite, the melon shaped derby gained acceptance in the 1870's, and in the 1880's the straw hat or "boater" met with approval for summer wear. Late in the century, the short lounge jacket or sack coat, void of a waist seam and similar to present day suit coats, came into vogue.
For many 19th century rural Kentucky women, dresses were still of homespun, but as circumstances improved, cotton calico, and muslin materials gained in popularity. In the 1830's, drawers or pantalets, previously only worn by dancers, became a necessary article of feminine lingerie. Skirts gradually widened, and by 1860 the full skirt grew to ten yards in circumference, with any number of petticoats heighten the voluminous effect. After the Civil War skirts became slimmer, and the bustle appeared. In the 1880's and 1890's the "Gibson girl" look of tailored cloth suits with shirtwaist blouses emerged.
By the 20th century the sack coat (with padded shoulders and high waisted trousers) had become fairly standard attire for men, varying only slightly from season to season. A big change, however, occurred in men's underwear, where sleeveless cotton shirts and shorts replaced the long union suit. After World War I, trouser legs widened to as much as twenty-four inches at the bottom, and in the 1930's baggy pants with pleats at the waist became the style. During the 'twenties and 'thirties the longhaired "raccoon coat was a favorite for cold weather events. After World War II, men dressed in three-button suits and, when war necessities created a dearth of cotton, the new nylon shirts became the sensation. The 1950's and 1960's were the era of grey flannel suits; the pinstriped traditional look dominated the 1970's; and the single-breasted navy blue blazer and khaki pants have almost become a uniform among the 1980's professionals. For casual dress, denim jeans and cotton knit shirts, often with designer labels, have become popular.
In women's fashions, the turn of the century brought the hobble skirt with a knee-high slit on the side. In 1919, the chemise frock rose to just below the knee, and by 1925 the sleeveless dress worn by the boyish-figured flappers stopped at the knee. By 1930 hems had plummeted to ten inches off the floor, and a combination outfit of dress and long coat became the order of the day. During the 1940's the dirndl skirt was introduced, but the 1950's full skirts and petticoats were the rage. The 1960's and 1970's saw the pants suit plus two extremes: the mini-skirt, and the maxi-skirt, and the 1980's witnessed a tailored look of single-breasted jackets and contrasting slim skirts. For sports, denim and cotton dominates casual wear, many of which have a unisex look.
Throughout the centuries Kentucky children have almost always dressed like adults. Boys and girls looked like miniature men and women with the exception that even as late as the 1920's boys did not wear trousers until they were toilet trained. As late as World War II, boys wore knickers until they reached high school.
Following the Indians' example, Kentucky pioneers relied upon the bounty of the land. Large and small game abounded; streams teemed with fish, and wild fruits, nuts, and greens added variety to a monotonous protein diet. Sometimes a medley of all ended up in the same kettle. A popular stew, burgoo, included every available animal, sage and red pepper and assorted vegetables; the diner could seek out and enjoy whatever meats and vegetables he relished. Sweetening came from honey and maple sugar, and salt (needed for preserving and seasoning) was obtained from springs and licks.
As great Nature's gifts were, early settlers did not expect to live on them forever. They dreamed of planted fields and grazing livestock. As the wild animals diminished, domesticated ones assumed greater importance. For many Kentuckians, pork became the favorite meat. It was eaten fresh, smoked, salted, ground into sausage or make into pickled souse. Lard was rendered from the fat. In farming, corn immediately took precedence over other crops. Easily cultivated with only a hoe, corn was consumed in a variety of ways, used as feed for livestock and fermented for the manufacture of whiskey. Although the pioneers did not assign vegetables to a large role in their meals, they planted beans, pumpkins, cabbage, peas, potatoes, turnips, lettuce, cucumbers, watermelons, and muskmelons along with a number of herbs. Most settlers also cultivated orchards, which supplied fresh fruit in season and formed the basis for jellies, preserves, and brandies. Apples provided cider as well as vinegar for pickling and flavoring.
Pioneer food held a special place in the hearts of most Kentuckians, a tradition which has endured, with modifications, to the present day. Tomatoes came to Kentucky about 1830, but many considered them poisonous and only the daring added them to their menu. The Kentucky Housewife (1839) contained recipes for all the pioneer vegetables plus asparagus, cauliflower, and broccoli. Ice cream appeared in the 1830's and Saratoga Chips (potato chips) became popular at the end of the century. The greatest change in Kentucky food ways, however, came in the period following World War II. Freezing to preserve freshness and flavor, instant foods, prepared meals, and microwave ovens heralded new methods of serving old favorites. The post-war years also introduced a host of ethnic foods, but most Kentuckians continued to subsist on a basic diet of pioneer foods.
Despite frontier deprivations, Kentucky's pioneer children did not suffer from a lack of toys. Simply made from available materials and often crude in workmanship, playthings included: wooden, leather, and cornhusk dolls, bows and arrows, tops, wooden and bladder balls, cup-and-ball games, hoops, whistles, hobbyhorses, rocking horses, and clay marbles. Some more talented souls would make a baby rattle by stitching together the ends of dried turkey windpipes containing pebbles.
In 19th century Kentucky, as the hardships of pioneer days gradually gave way to increasing prosperity, children's toys changed to reflect the more sophisticated world in which their owners lived. Wooden toys, decorated with colored lithographs and embossed pictures, became more complex and colorful, and skillful hands produced alphabet blocks, dominoes, Noah's Ark menageries, dancing devil-on-a-stick, and dolls with peg-jointed limbs.
The Industrial revolution, however, made an even greater impact upon toy making, transforming it from a craft into a full-fledged industry, so that the later 19th century was known as "The Golden Age of Toys." In the 1850's, gaily painted tin pull toys (e.g. horse-drawn streetcars and stage-coaches), reflected changes in transportation, as did the development of tin mechanical toys (such as the locomotive) in the 1870's. By mid-century, the ever-popular doll had a wax and papier-mâché, china, or bisque head, and paper doll creations could be snipped from the pages of Godey's Lady Book. In the 1880's and 1890's, cast iron toys appeared. Solidly made to withstand spirited play, they not only rolled across the floor but also prepared children for future responsibilities; toy banks, some mechanically operated, reflected the value of thrift as well machinery. Bicycles (first called boneshakers then safety bikes) enjoyed great success during the last decades of the century. Beginning in the 1870's, newspapers in Louisville and elsewhere around the state carried ads for toy shops or stores with toy departments; prior to 1900 there were at least eight recognized toy makers in Kentucky.
Toy making technology did not change greatly in the early 20th century. Sheet metal and wooden construction toys continued to be produced. Dolls ceased to be miniature adults and began to be babies. In 1903 a soft, cuddly toy, the teddy bear, achieved instant popularity. The late 1920's saw the development of many pre-school children's toys, which helped teach fundamental motor or learning skills. After World War II, plastic toys (first hobby model kits and later hula hoops and frisbees) became popular, and dolls developed lifelike characteristics. Old favorites received batteries during the 1960's, and the mechanized robot joined the ranks in the 1970's. Computerized video games, such as Space Invaders, Pac Man and Donkey Kong, became the rage in the early 1980's.
Suggested Activities
- Arrange a trip or slide show so students can study the architectural detail of old buildings in their community. Possible features to note: number of chimneys, number of windows, number of panes in windows, number of stories, decorative detail, etc. Arrange for an architect, or someone familiar with the area's architecture, to talk to the class and answer questions or point out features that might otherwise be missed.
- Are there any restored buildings in your community? If so, arrange visits to the sites or invite the persons in charge to class. What were the major problems of restoration? What early and unusual features were uncovered? Can a list he compiled of buildings that are in danger of destruction and that should be preserved? Do students agree with the "experts" about which buildings should he saved? Put together a photographic essay of your town using old photographs from your local newspaper or historic society.
- Organize a "toy-making bee" in your classroom. Collect odds and ends of cloth, wood, or leather scraps, thread and buttons, etc. Award a prize for the "simplest" toy, for the "funniest looking" toy, the "most original" toy, etc.
- If students are interested in family history, have them interview relatives about when, how, and why the family originally came to Kentucky. Then write a short essay about what they discovered. A simple three or four generation family tree might also be included.
- Put together a collection of old Kentucky recipes. Discuss how they are different from today's recipes (language, ingredients, etc.). Talk about why these foods would be appropriate for early Kentucky pioneers (raw materials available, lifestyle, etc.).
- Draw pictures or cut out old photographs depicting changes in style of dressing over time. Make into a wall mural or time line.

Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton is a blues/blues rock album recorded by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in 1966. It is the first studio album and the second overall credited to John Mayall, who teamed up for the first time in a studio release with ex-Yardbird Eric Clapton (their next and last time would be for six tracks of 1971's double LP Back to the Roots).
It is also known as The Beano Album because of its cover photograph showing Clapton reading The Beano,[5] a British children's comic. Clapton stated in his autobiography that he was reading The Beano on the cover because he felt like being "uncooperative" during the photo shoot.[2]

Originally, John Mayall intended for his second album to be also a live one in order to capture the guitar solos performed by Eric Clapton. A set was recorded at the Flamingo Club, with Jack Bruce (with whom Clapton would subsequently work in Cream) on bass. The recordings of the concert, however, were of bad quality and were scrapped.[6]
With the original plan of a live album now discarded, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers recorded Blues Breakers at Decca Studios, West Hampstead, London in March 1966. The guitar that Eric Clapton used during these sessions was a sunburst 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard with two PAF humbucking pickups. This guitar (which was stolen in 1966; its whereabouts remain unknown)[7] is also called the "Blues Breaker" or "Beano" Les Paul and a replica of which was reissued by Gibson in 2012.[7] Critics consider Clapton's guitar tone and playing on this album to be influential in the artistic and commercial development of rock-styled guitar playing.[8]
The band on this album includes Mayall on piano, Hammond organ, harmonica and most vocals; bassist John McVie; drummer Hughie Flint; and Clapton. Augmenting the band on this album was a horn section added during post-production[citation needed], with Alan Skidmore, Johnny Almond, and Derek Healey (misrepresented on the sleeve as 'Dennis Healey').
Songs and song styles[edit]
The album consists of blues standards by long-established artists such as Otis Rush, Freddie King and Robert Johnson, as well as a few originals penned by Mayall and Clapton. Most tracks serve as a showcase for the young Clapton's playing. Although he sang on several Yardbirds' recordings, "Ramblin' on My Mind" was Clapton's first recorded solo lead vocal performance, which Eric had been reluctant to record.[2]
In 2003 the album was ranked number 195 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[9] The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[10]
Apart from being one of the most influential blues albums, it also started the now-legendary combination of a Gibson Les Paul guitar through an overdriven Marshall Bluesbreaker amplifier.[5]

With the recent second hype about VoIP I'm always a bit puzzled
why people imply that you have to get "VoIP service" if you
want an IP based PBX.
I'd take an IP based system any time, but:
- rent a conventional phone service -> no problem with 911
- buy, not rent an IP based PBX and end systems (aka "Phones" ;-)
- run VoIP on my strictly internal network
I like VoIP, I agree with Marcus that it's loaden with
probable security risks but if you know about them, you simply
don't connect it to any public network.
So, if you act like I would, what does VoIP buy you in the end?
At least in Germany PBX systems are the most "locked in" pieces
of IT that I've ever come across. Ridiculous licensing models,
no documentation, vendors force you to rent their service
for simple configuration tasks or charge ridiculous amounts
for their propriatary configuration software.
If you happen to actually buy instead of rent a PBX by a company
that does provide documentation (like Ascom, Switzerland, for example)
the configuration concepts of a PBX are rather weird to networking
people (IMHO).
We sell the products of a German company named Innovaphone. They
produce fine (again, IMHO) IP based PBX systems - they are much
more similar to the configuration philosophies we are acustomed
to - routing based on longest prefix match, for example.
You simply buy the stuff, it comes with full docs, you set it
up. Period. No extra fees.
Their IP based phones can fetch the central phone book from an LDAP
The phone registers itself at the PBX with its MAC address.
Unplug phone, go to next office, replug - you just moved
including maintaining yor phone number ...
I simply appreciate the similar concepts, the flexibilty in
configuration an the fact that it's completely under my
control. We've been using this stuff since 1998, so the vendor's
been around at least for a while. We have Country and Western
- we have a conventional PBX and the Innovaphone Equipment
connected to it. If I'd buy completely new, I'd go completely
And in case of a power failure - our conventional PBX doesn't
have an emergency power supply. I have a cellphone.
And power failures in Germany are typically in the seconds range
and occur _very_ rarely.
I've had more downtime due to UPS's breaking than due to real
power outages.

I've got a comparison of one of the newest China Glaze colors from the Avant Garden collection (shown here) to other colors. See below if it's something you need or you can do without!!
First I compared China Glaze "Electric Beat", a shade released at the same time last year. It's definitely different than "Fade Into Hue", no purple undertones, but instead it's a greyed out blue. 2 coats.
Next I reached for Essie "She's Picture Perfect". This one was definitely more lilac-like, and containing some shimmer. 2 coats.
Next I grabbed China Glaze "Peri-Wink-Le". It actually looked a lot different in the bottle, but it turned out to be pretty close to "Fade Into Hue" on the nail. It is just a one hue darker, and "Fade Into Hue" may have just a tiny touch more purple undertones. 2 coats. I personally think that they are so close that if you have one then you will not need the other!
I don't know about you, but I immediately thought about Zoya "Caitlin" when I went for this comparison. "Caitlin" turned out to be much darker, rather a mix between grey and periwinkle. 2 coats.
Finally, I compared Color Club "Shabby Drab". Again, it looks like a mix between grey and periwinkle, but a little lighter than Zoya. 2 coats of not very user friendly formula, this one is going into my swap/sell bin!
So.. will you be needing "Fade Into Hue"?
Hope you found this helpful!!

A Program for Grieving Children & Teens will hold an eight-week session in Farmington beginning April 12. The program provides support for children and teenagers, ages 3 to 18 years, who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, relative, or friend.
Founded in 1998, A Program for Grieving Children & Teens is sponsored by St. Mary's Regional Medical Center, Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice, and Franklin Community Health Network and serves families at no charge.

Roger stunning in opener
Roger produced a great display in the opening round of the US open, dismissing Donald Young (ATP 81) 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
"I think it was a good start in difficult conditions," Roger said. "He was a talented opponent and I'd never played him before but it was good."
Our champion did not get distracted by the windy and humid conditions at Flushing Meadows, clearly dominating the match and making it clear that he was aiming for a fast first-round victory.
After 3-3, he took all further games in the opening set. Improving even more, the second also went onto his account with ease 6-2. Young did manage a break in the thrid set, but Roger finally secured the match upon his third match-ball after 94 minutes of play.
Roger will now play Germany's Björn Phau (ATP 83).
Best wishes for tomorrow's match. May God bless you and be near you during the match and always.
Love you, Champion.
Another night match Thursday with Phau
Stay focused
The crowds at night seem to be ver wound up
Stay focused play your game from the start
Do not let anything anyone
Weather umpire bad calls so on distract you
Go roger to. Third round
Allez !
Good look to you next match.
(where is Nadal, why don't you participate ? )

BOSTON � In an indication of their confidence in and desire to stay the course with inconsistent pitchers Clay Buchholz (5.63 ERA), Felix Doubront (5.70 ERA) and Jake Peavy (21 walks in 37 2/3 innings), the Red Sox will stay in rotation through two built-in off-days this week.
That means Buchholz, Jon Lester and John Lackey will pitch on six days� rest when their respective turns next come around � Buchholz on Friday, Lester on Saturday, Lackey on Sunday.
Had the Red Sox wanted to skip Doubront one turn through the rotation, for example, they could have started Peavy and Buchholz against Cincinnati on Tuesday and Wednesday, both on normal rest, and then Lester on Friday at Texas on one extra day of rest.

Like to see Bike Nerds do a roller line dance like this… and Pro tip: get off the wind trainer and onto some rollers. Get good at it like the Belgians and eventually you can eat a sandwich while pedaling with one leg ON THE ROLLERS or dance to Beyonce.

Definitely impressive, looks like she gets pretty close to rolling off in a few parts. I am guessing the video of Nys on the rollers is from CX worlds since he is training with Wellens and Aernouts. What a nice catch after he rolls off the edge during that video too.
