Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (480 votes).
In short: third time i've done this race and will be back for more!In full: The only (very small) gripe I have is that I miss the track finish. Other than that this is a fantastic event and part of a running festival Inverness (and Scotland and the UK) should be very proud of! The course is challenging enough to allow returners to scare the first timers but not so horrific as to put new runners off – I highly recommend this race.Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: the best uk marathon bar nonDate of review: October 4, 2011
In short: FabulousIn full: Even more enjoyable the second time around.The first half was hillier then I remembered, maybe the great downhill sections had clouded my memory of the climbs. This meant that the second half didn't feel as difficult as last year so that was a psychological bonus! Great support again in Dores and during the last couple of miles in Inverness.I have to agree with those who have mentioned the inadequate toilet situation at the start. Luckily I'm not proud and when you've got to go you've got to go, but for those more modest than I, it would have been horrendous!Great tech T shirt as well this year. All in all, another wonderful experience. I can't recommend it enough.Date of review: October 4, 2011
In full: Really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend this race to novices and veterans alike. The undulating course makes it a little tricky to find a rhythm but also helps to avoid any feeling of monotony. There is a lot of downhill in the first half which makes for a relaxed start. To be honest the hill at Dores wasn't really as bad as I feared having read some previous reviews and it seemed to pass pretty quickly. The fact that it comes at around 18 miles makes for a good psychological turning point when you are over the other side. One suggestion I might make to others who are thinking of coming up next year is to consider staying in Fort Augustus the night before the race. We stayed at the Lovat which was really nice and very runner / child friendly. This is at the South end of the loch and is a friendly wee place. The main advantage is a longer snooze in the morning (our bus left at about 8.50am) a much shorter bus ride (I think it was about 30 mins but it didn't seem that long with pre-race nerves) and consequently much less potential for toilet problems! There is obviously a limit on accomodation in Fort Augustus but if you book early you should be ok and you could always book somewhere in Inverness after the race when your quads are torn to bits!Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: Great scenery, hard course, and well supported by the locals. Organisers just need to make the start run smoother, although granted...must be a logistical nightmare to ship all the competitors to the start line!Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: Beautiful, great hills, lovely goodie bag & tIn full: We hada lodge near by at Whitebridge so made our own way to the start, drinks and loos at the start so great. Started to rain but hey ho.. lovely run went really quickly, pleanty of drinks stations lots if not maybe too many lucozade ones and not enough water. Overall fantastic, my wee one did the wee-nessie they said it was fun. The sun came out also. MY FIRST AND NOT MY LAST MARATHON Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: Great race, however, organisation for start needs to improveIn full: Great race, scenery, challenge, water/energy stations, cool t-shirt and medal, wonderful fair at end with stovies and oatcakes free to runners! Lots of real pluses. Hence, a shame that the organisers had absolutely no toilets available by the buses at the departure point. This was followed by a two hour sit on the buses. On arrival at the start a hopelessly inadeaqate amount of toilets and a huge rush to start due to late arrival of busses. Ok for us guys who turned their backs and had a quick pee in the heather. However, it is a failure of the organsisers to force women into the embarrassing and degrading situation of having to pee in public at the side of the road as they are so desperate. This neednt have been the case with better foresight and planning. If the organisers sharpened their act in this area it would be a truly suberb event!Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: the perfect rural race in wonderful highland scenery. In full: Couldn't find fault in this race anywhere (well, the buses to the start took a while arriving, but that's it for negatives).Stunning rural course, beautiful scenery, great pockets of support, and a great international feel to the event.If you do this next year be prepared for the 2 mile hill at Dores, but otherwise, enjoy.Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: fantastic! so impressed with organisation!Date of review: October 4, 2011
In short: A pretty spectacullar course for a first marathonIn full: My first marathon and was really impressed with the course, the orginisation and the support which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. We were well lucky with the weather, Saturday was awful whilst for the race there was no wind and a slight drizzle to start with. The hill at 18 miles seemed to go on forever though, was a tough one and looked like is sapped a lot of legs (mine included). Overall delighted that if it is my only marathon I couldn't have chosed a better one!Date of review: October 4, 2011

Teen Critics Meeting: Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging (December 2012)
Category: Book Groups & DiscussionsCategory: Teens
Location: Teen Area
There are six things very wrong with my life:
1. I have one of those under-the-skin spots that will never come to a head but lurk in a red way for the next two years.
2. It is on my nose
3. I have a three-year-old sister who may have peed somewhere in my room.
4. In fourteen days the summer hols will be over and then it will be back to Stalag 14 and Oberfuhrer Frau Simpson and her bunch of sadistic teachers.
5. I am very ugly and need to go into an ugly home.
6. I went to a party dressed as a stuffed olive.
In this wildly funny journal of a year in the life of Georgia Nicolson, British author Louise Rennison has perfectly captured the soaring joys and bottomless angst of being a teenager.
Join us on Thursday, December 13th at 6pm in the Teen Area for pizza and a discussion of Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. We'll also be choosing our book for January. Grades 7-9.

Product Questions and Answers
Ask a QuestionAsk a Question
I have a blue baseball hat that has a logo on the front stitched in white. I would like to dye the hat tan. Can this be accomplished and if so what color dye should I buy and what will happen to the logo?- Asked by Diane swanson on 21-Nov-13
In order to change blue to tan, you would have to bleach out all color and begin with white. If the threaded logo is cotton, it will dye to the same color as the cap material, if it is nylon, it would be a different shade of tan.- Answered by MisterArt on 22-Nov-13
I have a 100% rayon white scarf. I need it to be a pale baby blue. Any suggestions?- Asked by Missi on 01-Aug-13
These are the most professional fabric dyes that we carry. The Robin's egg blue looks like baby blue to me, or you could choose a cobalt and a white and mix them to create a pale blue. With Procion, you need to also purchase all the additives.- Answered by MisterArt on 02-Aug-13
I have a white bikini that has turned yellow due to either the chlorine and / or tanning oil w/ bronzer. Will this dye the nylon bikini enough to cover up the yellow stains?- Asked by Melissa on 18-May-13
The Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye does not work on nylon or any other synthetic fibers. We would suggest using the Jacquard Acid Dyes are they dye most nylons.- Answered by MisterArt on 22-May-13
About how many shirts does the 8 oz. size dye?- Asked by Nydia on 29-Apr-13
It depends on the size of the shirt, but 8 oz is equivalent to 16 tbsp. You can dye approximately three t-shirts with one tbsp of dye. At this rate an 8 oz. jar would allow you to dye up to 48 t-shirts.- Answered by MisterArt on 01-May-13
Will these dyes color super-stretch?- Asked by Louise on 03-Mar-13
The fiber reactive dyes only work on natural fibers. They will not dye synthetics.- Answered by MisterArt on 07-Mar-13
I would like to dye a viscose sheath dress to black. I would like to use cold water. What other products do I need and for what reason?- Asked by Mary on 18-Feb-13
You'll need the following products: The Soda Ash Dye Fixer promotes the chemical reaction of the dye. The Urea keeps the fiber damp longer allowing a greater reaction time for the dye. The Sodium Alginate is used to thicken the dye to a paste consistency. This is for printing and hand painting. The Synthrapol is a mild soap specifically made for removing excess dye so that the dyed articles can be washed with other laundry. Here is a link with detailed instruction for this product: http://www.jacquardproducts.com/assets/jacquard-site/product-pages/dyes/procion-mx/Procion%20MX%20Instructions.pdf- Answered by MisterArt on 21-Feb-13
I am looking for a dark gray not a black. Could you tell me how dark the warm black is?- Asked by Jo Carroll on 15-Jan-13
The dye color swatches are a general guide. The actual dye colors will vary.- Answered by MisterArt on 16-Jan-13
I want to dye a curtain panel that is 100% cotton. Any suggestion on how to do this and if this product will do the trick? I do not want it to shrink so therefore do not want to use regular dye in hot water.- Asked by Judi on 03-Dec-12
The Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye by Jacquard does not require hot water. You can add regular tap water.- Answered by MisterArt on 03-Dec-12

The first person to touch the football on any given play is usually the person most quickly forgotten once the action starts. A good center is more than just a snapper—he's making line calls before the snap, identifying blitzing linebackers and shifting protections to best keep the franchise's poster-boy quarterback safe and sound.
The center position isn't glamorous, but there are few spots on the roster more important to the life of a football team. Who are the best at what centers do?
To find out, we've determined what makes up a great center and which players best represent those traits. The quest comes as part of the B/R NFL 1,000. The new series offers an in-depth look at every position in the NFL, breaking down players' skills in a way never before seen on the Internet.
B/R 1,000 rankings don't assess who had the best year or even who has the most potential. Rather players—in this case, centers—are judged on their current skills and mechanics, based on film study of the 2011 NFL preseason and regular season only.
After hours spent scouting every starter and every potential starter, the top 32 centers have been scored in 10 criteria (here's more on the criteria). In the slides that follow, we'll explain each player's strengths and weaknesses as the final ranking is revealed.

Downstate firm wins bid to audit district's financial services
ESCANABA – The Escanaba School Board awarded a bid for financial audit services to a downstate firm at Monday's school board meeting.
Traverse City-based auditing firm Rehmann Robson was awarded a three-year contract totaling $44,000 for its services beginning with the fiscal year end of 2013.
The district also received three-year price quotes from four other firms: Gabridge & Company of Grand Rapids at $35,760; Abraham & Gaffney, PC of East Lansing at $59,400; Anderson, Tackman and Company PLC of Escanaba at $59,500; and Schneider, Larche, Haapala & Company PLLC of Escanaba at $76,900.
During discussion, school board president Jim Hermans, who also serves as a member on the Bay College Board of Trustees, said he preferred awarding the contract to a local firm instead of Rehmann Robson. He recommended Anderson, Tackman and Co. based on his experience with their service to Bay College for four years.
"I just feel that we should be awarding these to local people in the district, especially to the next lowest one which would be Anderson, Tackman. They do pay taxes in the city here. Their children do go to school here and they support us," he said.
Trustee Natalie Clouse said she respected Hermans' opinion but the three-year $15,000 cost difference between the two firms played a factor in her decision.
"We are actually suffering financially as a district, so we have to be careful with how we spend our money over three years," she said. "We don't know what three years is going to bring."
Board secretary Cathy Wilson said she believed local community members and local firms would want the school district to be as fiscally responsible as possible but asked Superintendent Michele Lemire what led to her recommendation of Rehmann Robson over the others.
"First of all, when we asked for proposals, we had each of the firms answer the same set of questions," said Lemire. "They all had an equal opportunity to give us their best proposal."
The district looked at how many school district audits each firm performs during a school year, what kind of on-going training is provided in the area of school district audits, and the qualifications and number of staff members available to the district.
Lemire learned Rehmann Robson was recently awarded audit contracts with other Upper Peninsula educational institutions such as Bay College, Northern Michigan University, and Michigan Tech.
The Rehmann Robson staff member assigned to Escanaba Area Public Schools will be from Sault Ste. Marie. Lemire said Rehmann Robson is trying to establish a larger presence in the U.P. since they are being awarded more contracts there.
"Overall, my recommendation is basically finding the firm that, based on what I read, appears to have the best qualifications – the most experience for the price," she said.
The board approved awarding the bid to Rehmann Robson by a vote of 4 to 1 with board treasurer Jed Gagnier and trustees Clouse, Will Carne, and Marilyn Noble voting in favor and Hermans voting in opposition. Wilson and board vice-president Nicole Dewar-Braun abstained from voting.
The board also unanimously approved a second amendment to the 2012-13 budget, which calls for revenues of $21,108,034 and expenditures totaling $22,138,978. This accounts for an approximate $204,000 reduction in revenues mostly due to changes to special education reimbursement dollars based on reduction of costs, and a $6,400 increase in expenditures. The amendment shows the district is expected to spend $1,030,944 of its fund balance, leaving a projected fund balance of $252,264 on June 30, 2013.
In other business the board:
approved the purchase of a 2013 Chevrolet plow truck in the amount of $30,014.95 from Riverside Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac. The truck will replace a 1992 Chevrolet truck, which is in poor condition. The plow, salt and sand spreader will be taken off the old truck and reused on the new one.
approved hiring of Jim Hughes to fill the custodial 1 position at Lemmer Elementary School.
approved a leave of absence request by a Teamster member at the Escanaba Senior High School due to an injury, for approximately six to eight weeks.
approved a request from Teamsters Local Union 406 to allow its members to donate accumulated sick leave days to create a sick bank for another member. The sick bank would allow the employee in need to maintain insurance coverage.

Trump takes charge as nation's 45th president
Patricia A. Harris
Patricia A. Harris, of Elmwood Ave. Johnstown, N.Y., left this Earth to go to Heaven on Friday, Feb. 22, 2013, as a result of complications from a stroke she had in December 2009. She was courageous and strong for a long time, but now can rest in peace. She will be forever missed by her family. Patricia had the most beautiful smile that lit up the room. Her strength, determination and ambition was something to admire. Patricia was born on February 3, 1950, to Martha and Edward D. Valachovic. Patricia graduated from Johnstown High School in 1968. That year she began her first job as a telephone operator. Following this job she worked as a file clerk. Also, she worked in retail, as a manager, and held jobs as a file clerk, receptionist at a dental office, was a real estate salesperson and a marketing representative. Her true passion was modeling. She had training in modeling from Barbizon Modeling and took acting classes. These trainings led her to model in several fashion shows and to various charitable organizations as well as promotional advertising work. She enjoyed appearing as a movie extra in "Ironweed" and "Out of the Rain." Patricia's other passions were traveling and her family. She loved the ocean and beach and loved her family which she was truly devoted to. She was a superior organizer, enjoyed painting, walking and riding her bike outdoors. She enjoyed going to church and was a parishoner at Holy Trinity Church. She had such a kind heart and fun personality. She volunteered at some local events, gave her hair to Locks of Love and volunteered in classrooms. One year, she even knitted each child in the class a scarf for Christmas. Patricia's family included her mother and father, who passed away in 2011 and 2009. She was also pre-deceased by a sister, Gail Valachovic, and a brother, Edward J. Valachovic and most recently, in Aug. 2012, her brother Robert J. Valachovic. Also, she was pre-deceased by her beloved husband, Robert J. Harris, to whom she was married for 34 years until his passing in 2004. She is survived by two sisters in law, Marsha Shepardson and her husband Dana, and Paula Gugenberger, both of Avondale, Ariz., and two nieces, Beth Ann (Jimmy) and Dyan, also from Arizona. Patricia is survived by her beloved daughter and best friend, Traci Siebel, and her husband Thomas and two grandsons, Robert (her Little Bay) and Tate Siebel of Albany, N.Y. Not a single day will go by without remembering how loving and wonderful Patricia was.
Friends may call from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, at the Ehle Funeral Home, 15 N. William St. Johnstown, N.Y. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Holy Trinity Church, 205 Glebe St. Johnstown, N.Y. Burial will be in Mt. Carmel Cemetery in the spring.

Gluten Free Vegetable Pot Pie
In 1988 Amy's introduced our first product, the original vegetable pot pie, a traditional favorite. People loved it and they still do. Lately, however, we have been receiving letters from customers saying that they are gluten intolerant and are no longer able to eat their favorite dish because of the wheat crust. So we set our chefs to making a gluten free crust that would be as tasty as the original. They did. Now everyone can enjoy this pot pie with its fresh organic carrots, peas, potatoes and tofu in the same smooth delicately seasoned sauce as before. Only the crust has changed and it is so light and flaky that everyone will love it whether they are gluten intolerant or not. Remember that at Amy's, free from gluten does not mean free from flavor.

To the editor:
This is in response to the Feb. 28 "Planning the next step in marriage equality?"( PFLAG interview.)
It's been said by some who sanction immoral behavior that we are just basically animals and so there's no problem with doing what comes natural. True, we are basically animals if you look at physical features and, at the biochemical machinery level as spelled out in the genome's construction and operating instructions; we're just molecular machines.
I talked with some guys who are in the business of raising cattle. I asked about homosexuality among the animals, they said that sometimes males will try to mate with males, and females with females. I asked if they have ever seen a case where two males will only mate with males and refuse females when they are available, thereby creating a life-long bond for this male to male behavior; they insisted this never happens.
So here we are, with homosexual marriage proponents (including some church denominations) trying to legalize and legitimize a behavior that not even the animal kingdom engages in on a permanent basis. Nor has a culture in the past ever defined marriage this way. In fact research shows most homosexuals don't even want a life-long monogamous relationship that adheres to true fidelity.
Some think that life will be better if their behavior is codified as "married." But as Greg Quinlan (pfox.org) stated: jurisdictions across the world show us that nothing improves; suicide rate among them does not get better, nor does drug abuse nor infidelity and promiscuity.
Massachusetts legalized homosexual marriage in November 2003. The results:
1. In 2005 David Parker was arrested and thrown in jail overnight. Crime? He tried to get the school to let him know when homosexuality and transgender issues would be taught, so that he could take his 5-year-old son out of class that day.
2. In 2007 a federal judge ruled that parents in Massachusetts have no rights regarding the teaching of homosexual relationships in schools. Appeals judges later upheld the ruling because same-sex marriage is legal, and therefore schools have a duty to teach homosexuality to children.
3. In 2006, a mother was told she displayed inappropriate behavior by complaining about a transgender man teaching her third grader that there are now "different kinds of families."
4. In 2005 the state public health dept helped fund a booklet for teenage boys on how to perform male to male sex, and included a directory of bars where boys can go to meet for this behavior.
5. Domestic violence among homosexuals has increased.
6. Groups of homosexuals go into public businesses to "test for tolerance" by engaging in promiscuous behavior. Businesses that do not tolerate, are fined/sued.
7. Catholic Charities had to shut down their adoption agencies to avoid being forced to give children to homosexuals. Many adoption agencies now actually favor homosexuals over normal couples.
This is only a small sampling, go to www.MassResistance.org to get the whole list.
In conclusion, once same sex marriage becomes law, society becomes more oppressive and spiritually disoriented.
I invite all who still believe in 'The Good, the True, the Beautiful' to take a stand for 'real' marriage Thursday at the St Paul capitol; rally starts at 2:30 p.m. and goes until 5 p.m. Or at least contact your legislator- see www.minnesotaformarriage.com/legislator/

ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 4, 2008) – A match that looked to be an easy victory for the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team turned out to have some surprise fireworks before the United States could finally claim a 25-23, 25-22, 29-31, 20-25, 18-16 victory over Spain in World League action in Madrid.
The two-hour, 13 minute, Independence Day win improves the U.S. Men's World League record to 6-1 in Pool C and maintains its pool lead. Second-place Bulgaria kept the heat on Team USA by defeating Finland (28-26, 30-28, 25-19) in the other Pool C match on Friday. Spain, which sits in third place, falls to 3-4.
The United States and Spain will play a second match on Sunday at 3:30 a.m. PDT.
Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) led Team USA with 23 points on a match-high 21 kills and two blocks. Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) added 15 points on 11 kills and a match-high four blocks.
Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) and David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) each scored 13 points. Priddy had 12 kills and one block. Lee totaled 10 kills and three blocks.
"We played very well during the first two sets, but let up a little afterward," said Riley Salmon (League City, Texas), who is serving as the team's captain in Spain and scored 10 points on 10 kills. "We are a very experienced team and were able to win the tie-breaker by forcing Spain to make mistakes with our serves."
The fifth-set tie-breaker was a see-saw battle that saw each team get two chances at match point before the United States finally put the hammer down.
"This victory was very important for us mentally, for our confidence, as we prepare for the Olympic Games," said U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand).
Other U.S. scorers were Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) with six points on five kills and one ace; Lloy Ball (Woodburn, Ind.) with five points on two kills, two blocks and one ace and Phil Eatherton (Glencoe, Mo.) with one point on one kill.
Starting setter Ball was credited with 69 running sets and two faults in 110 attempts. Priddy had 31 "excellent" service receptions on 39 attempts with no faults while libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) added 19 "excellent" receptions on 30 attempts with no faults.
The U.S. team out-blocked Spain 12-9 and converted 52 percent of its kill attempts as opposed to 46 percent for Spain.
McCutcheon started Priddy and Salmon at outside hitter, Millar and Lee at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Ball at setter and Lambourne at libero. Rooney started for Salmon in the fourth set, but Salmon returned for the fifth. Eatherton, Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.), Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) and Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.) all played as substitutes.
After the United States had taken victories in the first two sets, Spain made its move in the third. Outside hitter Juan Carlos Barcala, who had been brought in as a second-set substitute, caught fire in the third set with seven kills and added six more in the fourth set. He ended up as Spain's leading scorer with 17 points on 16 kills and one block.

OK, so after treading lightly and getting some advanced input on steeping parameters from bambooforest and saxon, I took pesticide and fertilizer free #22, Thes du Japon Honyama Yamakai for a dip. It did not disappoint with its very rich aroma and deep lingering flavors. This Hon Yama sincha is a mountain tea grown along the foggy banks of the Abe River. Fog filters out the light making the leaves higher in theanine and therefore sweeter.
The Yamakai cultivar is also used to make gyokuro and the beautiful unbroken needles have a sweet aromatic perfume. I seem to be getting better at these close ups with my wide angle lense
I'm also inaugurating my new chamfered Banko tea set for this brew.
Weighing various leaf to water ratios proposed- 1:1, 1.25:1, the vendors 1.7 - 2.1:1 I decided to go somewhere between and divide my 20grams into 3 portions of 6.66 grams resulting in;
1st _1.66:1/158/65, nice rich flavor, pleasant background astringency with an unusual flavor palate of eucalyptus pine needles? Liquor clear yellow. Interesting tackiness from dry astringency. Next time try 1.5:1/158/60.
2nd _168/45, upps went to 55, strong brew, but very nice indeed. I could see backing off a little bit.
3rd _178/2:30, wet leaf continues to have an interesting aroma- eucaliptus in a sauna? Liquor continues to have a pleasant astringency and deep flavor.
4th _190/3, upps got 183F it cooled down too fast. I let it go to 4min+ still has plenty of flavor.
5th _poured boiling water into pot/5+ min steep. Flavor still rich.
6th _stove top 5sec roll/5min steep,to a perfect ending,

Reviewed Jan. 14, 2013
"Good. Easy."
Reviewed Sep. 21, 2010
"I have finaly found a caesar salad dressing recipe that I truly enjoyed. The lemon juice and red wine vinegar cuts the mayo taste. I topped mine with sliced almonts and salty sunflower seeds, instead of croutons and cheese. Quick, easy and delicious!"
Reviewed Jun. 4, 2009
"This is the recipe I use for just the 2 of us.(lighter on the sodium than my other recipe using anchovies, which I make when I have a lot of people.) It has just the right amount of tang and I double the recipe and keep it in the 'fridge until needed. I also use low-fat mayo. Jan.Edited to add: this recipe is in TOH 2005 Annual, Pg.270, for those who have the book."

So encouraging to be reminded me of these things. I'm currently a Communication/PR major in college and I have ZIPPO desire to enter that field when I graduate, and don't plan to. It's hard to motivate myself to care about classes that I feel like won't have any relevance after I graduate.
Anyway, lovely post ladies :) Thanks for sharing!

Great Product!
By CherylC5

Bought this for my 9 yr old granddaughter who is struggling with her multiplication tables. She really likes it and uses it. It is a fun way to learn her math.

Great way to practice and learn!
By The Denver Housewife
from Denver, Colorado
This product is great for my 9 year old son who is already learning his Multiplication tables. He can practice what he learns in school and it's a great way to make a fun game out of learning them. The device is easy to use, fun, and protable. It's a great product and I recommend it to anyone with a 2nd grader and up!

8-year-old loved this product!
By A Mom's Take
from Surprise, AZ
The Multiplication Master was perfect for my 8-year-old who has trouble with his times tables! He is really fast with 1′s, 2′s, 5′s, and 10′s but has no interest in learning the other eight numbers he needs to by the end of the school year! He does love electronics and a little extra motivation, so when I gave him the Multiplication Master, we made a deal. Every time he learns one of the sets of numbers he doesn't already know, I will take him for an ice-cream cone! He is knocking them out one at a time and I'm sure he will be finished by the end of the year! I really like how portable this device is. He can bring it anywhere! In the car, at the store, and in his bed! It is also super easy to use, and lets you have more than one chance to get the answer right. There are 2 different levels, you can choose which number to work on, and you can play a timed game and answer as many questions as you can in 60 seconds! The sound effects are helpful and let you know if you got the answer right. The Multiplication Master is a great way to learn times tables and I would recommend it to anyone in 2nd grade and up!
Multiplication Fun
By My Four Monkeys
from Richmond, VA
Very similar to the Cash Bash Electronic Flash Card, the Multiplication Master Electronic Flash Card let's your child practice multiplication tables (numbers 0–12) with a fun electronic handheld game!Gameplay consists of 60 second games where you attempt to answer as many multiplication problems from whichever times table you pick to practice. This quick and easy solitaire-type multiplication game pits your child against themselves as they race to beat their own record! All the problems are presented in a vertical format, and the game offers two different skill levels, as well as untimed play if desired. Although it has fun sound effects, you can also turn the volume off, which is a great plus especially if your kiddos are practicing on-the-go. My nine year old recently spent an hour playing while waiting for her sister to finish gymnastics class. Who knew you could have so much fun practicing multiplication?! :)Requires 3 AAA batteries, not included.*I received this product free of charge for the purpose of this review.*
Make Learning Fun!
By The IE Mommy
from Inland Empire
My girls are in 3rd grade and we have started with multiplication problems. Oh boy!! It seems like the schools are pushing kids to learn skills sooner and quicker then when I was a kid. My girls are already doing minor algebra problems. It's kind of crazy!At the same time it's fun to see them learn and to become excited about new ideas and concepts. Even among their excitement there can definitely be a few hurdles to crossover and frustrations to vent when they just don't get a concept as quickly or as easily as they would like.This specific predicament is why I love ALL of Learning Resources products. They make learning fun! The Multiplication Master Electronic Flash Card is a great way to add some pizazz to everyday (sometimes boring) math facts. I keep this game at our school table so when one child is finished before the other…they have something to keep them occupied and still enjoy the fun of it all.Traditional flash cards are okay but the Multiplication Master Electronic Flash Card takes it a whole, different exciting level for my 3rd graders.

Remember When: Porches
Porches were for meeting with family, for playing with dolls and/or cars, for eating watermelon. Most of all they were for hearing stories as the older folks sat and talked and passed on the family lore, local lore and wisdom they had learned in the same way as children.
Can you imagine your grandparents and distant cousins sitting on this porch with their heads bent over their mobile phones? To me this is one of the saddest parts of modern society. No talking, no sharing, no face-to-face conversation.
Porches are for relaxing. For sitting back and listening to the sounds of children at play or crickets in the bushes. What a stress-buster!
I remember sitting on porches especially in those old metal lawn chairs. There were stories told over and over of what this aunt or uncle did as a child to get in trouble. The time grandad caught a snapping turtle out at the creek.
Think back. Do you have porch stories? Write about them.
6 comments:
I sat every night on a porch in Colorado on an old couch. I watched the moon rise and the stars twinkle and I had to put a blanket over me because the mountain air was chilly. It was wonderful. I drank wine, too! And ate popcorn and told stories. It was one of the best parts of my entire vacation in Colorado...sitting on the big porch enjoying my vacation. Simple pleasures in a most beautiful place. Now I'm back in Phoenix...porchless. Oh well at least i have my memory.ReplyDelete
I remember the backyard sleep outs when you and I would put up a tent and spend all day filling it with blankets, pillows, books, flashlights and all kinds of midnight snacks, which never made it past 10 p.m. Do you remember the night Dean put a rope under the tent thinking he would pull it out and scare us into believing a snake was in the tent? I remember spending the evening sneaking into the house to eat fresh from the oven, made from scratch, slathered in butter, chocolate cake. Ahh...what I wouldn't give for one more bite of my mom's chocolate cake.ReplyDeleteReplies
Kay, I do not remember sleeping in tents at all. Or Dean with a rope. I do remember the buttered cake but from a much later visit. I have many blanks.Delete
I never stopped to think about how many stories I had in my memory about porches. It was such a quick flash through time for me as I read your article. Thank you for bringing back these wonderful happy memories.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're welcome and thank you for the comment. Made my day.Delete

The study was done at the request of the National Research Council of the National Academies and the legal and forensic sciences communities It studied 169 latent (crime-scene) fingerprints and attempted to match them to exemplar or on-file prints from known subjects.
The false-positive rate was 0.1%. False negatives were much more common, at 7.5%, than false positives. But when an independent examination of the same prints was done by different examiners, all false positive errors and most false negative errors were detected
The study is part of a larger ongoing research efforts into the accuracy and reliability of fingerprints as a biometric identification method.

Safety Tip: Ride in a Straight Line
It's smart to be a proactive rider, but you can also make a big difference in your bike safety by simply riding in a straight line! Riding smoothly without unnecessary drifting or swerving is one of those basic bike skills that is easy to dismiss, but can do a lot to increase your visibility, your predictability, and ultimately your safety:
1. When you ride in a straight line, drivers (and other cyclists) expect that you will continue to do so. Being predictable keeps you safer.
2. Ride outside of the door zone and stay there. No swerving means no worrying about car doors.
3. Resist the temptation to move to the right when there are no parked cars. Sure, it can be a relief to get out of traffic, but you are making yourself harder to see and predict.
4. To change lanes or make turns, remember your hand signals. Signal early and often. Back up your signals with eye contact and make your intentions clear.
5. If you find yourself swerving when looking over your shoulder, practice your technique in an empty parking lot.
This is just one tip for safer cycling, but the the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) is a wellspring of more useful information. Make them your go-to resource for safety tips, bike classes, events and more at waba.org.

Power Authority Reopens Reservoirs For Recreational Boating
Steve Ramsey
April 14, 2011
NORTH BLENHEIM—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will reopen the upper and lower reservoirs at its Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project to recreational boaters on Monday, April 18.
Boats and boat trailers accessing both reservoirs must be clearly marked with registration numbers and a NYPA permit. Applications for permits may be obtained by calling the visitors center at 800-724-0309. Permits will be valid through Sept. 30, when the reservoirs will be closed to boating until the following April.
The upper reservoir, located on Kingsley Road in the Town of Gilboa, will be open to boating daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Permit holders are required to call 800-FOR-NYPA (800-367-6972), extension 6364 on the day before they intend to use the upper reservoir. On the day they use the reservoir, boaters must stop at the South Gate on Valenti Road to notify security personnel.
Advance notice is not required to use the lower reservoir. The lower reservoir may be accessed through Mine Kill State Park on Route 30. Boating will be permitted from 7:30 a.m. until the park closes each day. The park will be open until 4 p.m. until the first weekend in May; afterward, it will remain open until dusk.
Boating on the upper reservoir is restricted to recreational craft—rowboats and canoes—with or without electric trolling motors. Gasoline-powered engines are permitted on recreational craft using the lower reservoir. The reservoirs may be closed to boating at any time at the Power Authority's discretion.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Burning at the Stake -- Hollywood, CA -- July 23rd, 2009
God what a great show. I'm not going to write much as I'm running on low energy.
First up was some band that didn't know how to play thrash. And I fucking hate the singer. He checked his phone at least 20 times during the 30 minute set. How the fuck do you expect to gain fans when you don't even give a shit that you're on stage.
Next was Sacrificial Slaughter. They were tight but crowd involvement was at a minimum.
Next was some band that I don't remember.....
Horrid was fucking horrid. The singer seemed like a douche and kept complaining about sound every other second. He also only talked in an annoying snarly voice, which pissed me off.
Next was a band callled With a Vengeance. No complaints.
Next band was Dreaming Dead. Holy shit the chicks in that band are hot. Look out Angela Glossow. Very good music.
Next was the band I came to see, Burning at the Stake. Let me start off by saying that they are some of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet. They even gave a shoutout to my band during their set, which is probably the coolest thing that's ever happened to me at a metal show.
Their stage presence is great. They really put on a show. Every member of the band is so talented and intent on putting on a great show. Their songs sounded exactly of the tracks recorded on [URL="http://www.myspace.com/burningatthestakeofficial"]their myspace[/URL]
I'm not exactly sure of the setlist, but I'll try to confirm it by tomorrow.
I bought a sick t-shirt, designed by the lead singer. If you want some cool metal artwork to look at, you should also check out the [URL="http://www.myspace.com/godlessclothing"]singers myspace [/URL]which contains his art pieces.
Even though they were not headlining, I feel obligated to put their name on the setlist title since they were by far the best band that performed tonight, and the reason that I showed up at all.
The next band was Goreaphobia. Their music was pretty good, but mostly I was just drawn to the band because of the singers gear, which is friggin crazy. So many masks, rings, gloves, and all crazy awesome shit hahaha.
Regretfully, I was only able to see part of Crematoriums set, due to gay curfew set by parents. They were very good from what I saw. And since I missed Crematorium, I also missed the headliner, Master :(.
Anyways, if you live in the southern california area and love death metal, see burning at the stake! they never fail to put on a great show!
[QUOTE=b_halperin;221012]I also missed the headliner, Master :(.[/QUOTE]
:flame: lame!
[QUOTE=mankvill;221013]:flame: lame![/QUOTE]
trust me, if i set the curfew i would've been there haha

Top 10 Television Sitcoms of the 1990s
After sitcoms were revitalized in the 1980s, they really hit their stride in the '90s with shows about friends, families and nothing. We saw ensemble casts take off and sharp writing find its place. Politics took center stage on shows like "Murphy Brown," blue collar families made waves on "The Simpsons," "Roseanne" and "Married... with Children," while more upscale characters were seen on "Frasier." While relationships were vital to "Friends," shows like "Seinfeld" broke the mold by focusing on nothing in particular, and "Mad About You" followed suit – to a point. "Home Improvement" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reminded audiences that goofiness was still alive and kickin' in the '90s. In this video, WatchMojo.com counts down our top 10 favorite sitcoms of the 1990s.

Skip to comments.Missouri Senate: McCaskill (D) 49%, Akin (R) 43%
Posted on 09/12/2012 9:18:54 AM PDT by WILLIALAL
The fallout appears to linger in the Missouri Senate race, with incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill still holding a six-point lead over Republican challenger Todd Akin. But the race is tightening.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
Closer than Walker was in the recall. He will win.
Pray for America
Todd Akin will soon join Joe Miller, Doug Hoffman, Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donell, Ken Buck, JD Hayworth et all.
All very good conservatives, just lousy candidates. Like Ronald Reagan said "I will support the most conservative WHO CAN WIN".
Losing election makes you totally irrelevant and powerless. It only helps the liberals to gain ground. But many refuse to learn this very simple lesson, repeated again and again.
The 4% who prefer some other candidate are Republicans still hoping that he will resign and their candidate of choice appointed. This number was 9% in the last poll. It will be 0% in the next one after Sept 25.
In truth this poll is 49% to 47% and will be determined by the 4% Undecideds.
"In truth this poll is 49% to 47% and will be determined by the 4% Undecideds."
Hope it turns out that way, though my concern is the lack of money to run negative ads against McCaskill.
If he pulls this off, it will be an indication that Romney will be headed for a landslide.
Yup. Entirely correct.
Akin remains in the race because of his own ego. If he really cared about the pro-life cause he would have stepped aside. There are plenty of pro-life conservatives who could have stepped in and won this seat. Because of Akin's selfishness and the support of some of his deluded followers, Claire McCaskill will retain the seat for the Democrats. Sad, very sad.
The change in McCaskill's margin in the last two polls is less than the margin of error in the poll itself.
And this guy was the best R in Mo?? really?? I have read a few things this dufus said.. how did he win the nomination??
How many of those had to fight the Democrat candidate as well as their own party and party elites at the same time???
"The change in McCaskills margin in the last two polls is less than the margin of error in the poll itself."
The only saving grace, is the fact that McCaskill is so disliked in Mo.
My big concern, is his lack of money.
whether or not he should step down, that is Akin's call and he will have to assume the responsibility for his loss if he stays in.
Three-way race and McCaskill supported him with advertising, because she wisely perceived he'd be the easiest for her to beat.
Has Rasmussen posted the internals of this poll yet???
????????? Walker was never 6 points behind in his recall with 55 days left. That said I wanted Akin out but he should be fully supported now. I think he can pull of a narrow victory.
" how did he win the nomination??"
There was a 3 way primary race which split the vote. There is evidence that McCaskill encouraged Dems to vote for Akin and ran ads featuring Akin as being too conservative for Mo, which had the effect of causing conservatives to vote for Akin.
Looks like a whole new bunch of "moderate" concern trolls have come running to voice their concerns.
Moderates are nothing but lying, manipulative, bottom feeding, scum.
"Has Rasmussen posted the internals of this poll yet???"
He only releases that to people who subscribe.
"Closer than Walker was in the recall. He will win."
"Pray for America"
"And this guy was the best R in Mo?? really?? I have read a few things this dufus said.. how did he win the nomination??"
Jedi Mind Control.
"I am Pro-Life....Pro-Life"
Nope, Walker was even to ahead.
This is really bad news with McCaskill close enough to the magic 50% to win.
Ras favors GOP candidates more than other pollsters, if he is down 6 points here, almost a month after the foot in mouth statement, he'll do worse in the next PPP poll. he's close to toast.
ok, I am assuming, maybe incorrectly, that all the R candidates were Pro Life?? why pick the dumbest one??
No money, no class, no chance.
Todd Akin would be leading if Karl Rove and the establishment Republicans had simply acknowledged he could have sued better wording and then continued to support him. Instead they cut all support and spent two weeks attacking Akin, the candidate the people of Missouri just selected by primary vote. Todd Akin has not said as many stupid and harmful things to the conservative cause as Mitt Romney. He is not being asked to sep aside. So, those still attacking him get over it and support Akin. Same thing I am being told about supporting the liberal, timid Romney, who keeps insisting Obama is a nice person.
A big assist from McCaskill and the Dems.
So if we have a Marxist republican running we should support them if they poll higher than a conservative? Oh wait, we are already doing that.
If he did that then his polls would not be accurate or objective or believable. So then why should we trust them???
One of the funniest things I've ever seen is that both rabid Lefists and brain-addled "Conservatives" attribute to Karl Rove awesome powers of mind control over millions of people.
There actually aren't that many people who know who he is, much less those whose every political belief hinges on his every word.
This is almost as stupid as blaming Karl Rove for Christine O'Donnell getting annihilated in the Delaware Senate race. Grow up.
The others were incapable of Jedi Mind Control.
From what I understand the Tea Party did not support Akin, either.
He's one of the best Conservatives ever elected to Congress from MO. He certainly deserves a helluva lot more respect than the peanut gallery shows him.
How would you or anybody know that since there are so many Tea Party groups and they have no real spokesperson.
BTW Akin organized the Tea Party Caucus in Congress.
The GOP sure doesn't have any problem supporting pro abortion Scott Brown. (Who didn't waste any time rushing out to trash Akin)
Instead they'll say that you have no other choice or the democrat will win.
Bunch of hypocrites.
Well a couple of them did not end up getting nominated - Hoffman though was short changed by the NY party elites as a primary did not decide the nominee and they picked some ultra liberal "Republican" even more liberal than the Dem nominee. Joe Miller - without the NRSC expenditures he wouldn't have had any campaign at all, Sharron Angle refused NRSC coordination / training though they did spend money independently on her behalf, she raised a great deal of her own money, and Rove's groups spent a lot of money there - O'Donnell was snubbed but she raised so much money (over $10 million) she did not need party support (but ran horrificly poorly produced ads that looked like they were made with a home movie camera and put together on Windows Movie Maker...leading off with the "I'm not a witch" ad which pretty much ended her campaign right away - no excuse for this as she had the money to hire the best media companies in the business and she did not), Buck got extensive support from the NRSC and Rove's groups with their own expenditures on his behalf in CO in that race.
sorry, i think he should withdraw. i defended him at first but now i think he should go.
we can get another good conservative in there and boot mccaskill.
"How would you or anybody know that since there are so many Tea Party groups and they have no real spokesperson."
I only know what has been alleged here. However, you put your finger on the problem I have been pointing out for some time. Just WHO are real Tea Party spokesmen, leaders?
After the bogus group in NY managed to defeat the Republican running for the House by endorsing a Turd Party candidate (an "ex" Democrat) this issue became major.
That Akin formed the Tea Party Caucus in the House is very bad news for the GOP, Tea Party and the nation. Talk about giving the enemy ammunition.
And there are less now since he has disappeared from Fox News Sunday since issuing his murder joke about Akin. Perhaps his absence from there will make his heart grow fonder for the conservatives that he hates.
Actually, each one of those you listed could/can win. there's absolutely no reason why they can't, other than being cut off at the knees by the GOP-E.
Todd Akin - if he had even the typical funding support that the GOP gives to its candidates at this level (i.e. I'm not talking about "special handouts" here), this race would be in the bag.
Joe Miller - could have easily won if Alaska had a "sore loser" law. Unfortunately, the GOP-E largely supported Murkowski behind the scenes when she ran as an independent after losing to Miller in the primary, splitting the vote. If she had not run, we'd be talking about Senator Miller (R-AK) today.
Doug Hoffman - This is the guy who almost took the election away from Dede Scozzafava, and would have, if the she'd have done the right thing and dropped out when she was down to 5% support, and when she finally did, ended up ACTIVELY supporting the Democrat, with the connivance of the GOP-E in that district. Hard to see how he was a reject loser who never could possibly win.
Sharron Angle - could have won as well, if she'd have had more party support.
Ken Buck - could have won, if he'd have had more party support.
J.D. Hayworth - Not really his fault he got redistricted. Also not his fault that he had to try to unseat McCain who, despite being hated by everybody, also brings home the pork to the seniors in his state.
Christine O'Donnell - about the only one on your list who really didn't have a shot of winning, and that was as much because she was a conservative dunning in *Delaware* as it was due to her being loopy.
In each case, however, the fault for their losses lies largely with the GOP establishment who refused to support them because they were conservatives.
How drunk do you have to get to believe Romney is a "Marxist"? Not that I believe you know what that is but still.
It's simply impossible for a genuine Pro-Life candidate to win statewide office in Massachusetts, and always will be.
In your world, Romney/Ryan are Marxists? Please pass the Hukkah!
And in your world it then follows that Obama/Biden are not so Marxists as Romney/Ryan? WOW!
Guess what? If we're stuck with Romney, and we just have to "lump it," then you're stuck with Akin, so you just have to "lump it" as well.
So shut up and start supporting the candidate. Not voting for Akin is a vote for McCaskill.
That is because Akin made more stupid statements than all others in my list including "I am not a witch" statement. He deserves the wrath of all thinking republicans.
And had his legs kicked out from under him by the establishment Republican party and 80% of the people posting on Free Republic. Abandoned by Republicans and Freepers who pee in their pants when the media say's Boo! Doing so, running away from a solid conservative with a twelve year record of voting conservative.
It is hilarious to see the comments here about Rove. They are virtually identical to those at DU.
Of course, Rove has almost no influence within the GOP today
and certainly is not the reason Romney is the candidate.
In some ways, yes, he was the most solid and experienced conservative. He even voted against the Part D Medicare crap of Bush and Company.
Is he bluntly spoken, yes to his disadvantage, but if you looked and the overall record, characterisics and other issues of the three conservatives that ran in the primary he might very well have the most FR type record.
Is he stupidly rigid and poorly spoken. The answer to that is also yes.
If you can accept one dead body, you'll accept a lot more.
What is your opinion on post #36???
Are you saying that other polls (ie CNN, PPP, WashPost, etc) are to be assumed correct? If that's the case, you should be making millions in comedy and not wasting your time posting on FR.
and your opinion of post #36 is????
So people are supporting someone who GOT support from their main adversary?? Ok now that makes perfect sense... sarc.
Hayworth had no chance to defeat McCain, GOP "establishment" or not. Nor did it have anything to do with him being re-districted.
If your explanations of the other races is as incorrect they can be ignored.

Strawberry Ridge
DescriptionThe Strawberry Ridge Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is west of Woodruff, Utah and west of Birch Creek Reservoir. In the west the Unit starts at a high elevation of 8500 feet, then moving east drops down to Woodruff Park, around 7800 feet, then rises again to Strawberry Ridge, 8100 feet in the west to 7600 feet in the east. Birch Creek cuts the unit on the north side of Strawberry Ridge and runs nearly the length of the Unit, ranging from 6900 feet to 8400 feet. On the south side of the Strawberry Ridge is Walton Canyon. This canyon contains State Highway 39 and ranges from 7300 feet to 8000 feet elevation. The most common elevation is 7700 feet but ranges from 6900 feet to 8600 feet with an elevation difference of 1700 feet. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7600 feet and 7900 feet an elevation difference of 300 feet.
Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) covers over eighty percent (80%) of the Strawberry Ridge Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) in northern Utah. The only other land cover of any significance is Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22), and it is primarily on the west side of the Unit.

It's official; mailed off my registration today. I look forward to blogging from it. A couple of friends went last year and confirmed its awesomeness, so I'm a little stoked.
If you've been thinking about going — and, like me, are prepared just to say "the hell with it" and drop the money — registration information is here.
