'Exciting opportunity' for districts
A new educational collaboration will benefit pre-school children in the Dunkirk and Fredonia school communities.
The Dunkirk City School and Fredonia Central School Districts are collaborating to create a combined universal pre-kindergarten program for students in both districts. This newly combined universal pre-k program will be housed in the Wheelock Primary School on Chestnut Street in Fredonia starting in September.
The Wheelock building was designed for primary students and will allow the districts to offer a developmentally appropriate program for their youngest students.
Staffing for this program will be provided by current Fredonia certified elementary teachers, teaching aides, a school nurse, support staff and an administrator.
The districts are not anticipating or budgeting for hiring additional staff for this program.
Occupying classrooms in an entire wing of the building, the combined universal pre-k program will offer morning and afternoon programming for students. The gym and age appropriate outdoor playgrounds will be available for the pre-k classes as well as a wrap-around care program. The pre-k classes will be composed of students from each district.
Wrap-around childcare will be offered by the Campus and Community Children's Center at the Wheelock campus. CCCC is a licensed childcare program that operates as a tuition-based program for working families.
As a result of this collaboration the Wheelock building will be operating at full capacity as an early childhood education center. Buffalo Hearing and Speech, a current tenant of Wheelock, is expanding services and programs that will be available for students qualifying for services. Erie 2 Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES will also continue to rent space in the building for educational programming.
Dunkirk has traditionally contracted with outside service agencies to provide universal pre-k programming.
This opportunity for collaboration in universal pre-k programming services came out of discussions related to an application for funding through the NYS Local Government Efficiency Grant Program. The districts are seeking funding for a feasibility study to recommend areas of additional collaboration for increased efficiencies in operation including, but not limited to: educational programming, sports, purchasing, transportation, use of equipment, staff development and shared services.
The grant, due later this month, would allow the districts to have independent and objective consultants review aspects of operations and educational programs to recommend areas of collaboration that would reduce expenditures.
"The combined universal pre-k program is an example of what can be accomplished through collaboration and discussion. The award of this grant would provide us with recommendations to move forward to save money and provide quality educational programming," Dunkirk Superintendent of Schools Gary Cerne said.
Dunkirk will continue to contract for universal pre-k transportation. Fredonia will follow its practice of drop-off at the Wheelock campus. Registration information will be placed on each district's website by mid-March.
Dunkirk Schools had rented Wheelock to house their elementary programs during a recent capital project.
"The Wheelock campus offers an ideal environment for pre-k instruction and programming. I am excited that this opportunity is available for our families and school communities." Cerne said.
For Fredonia, the creation of the combined program will alleviate some of the traffic and building congestion during drop-off times and solve the dilemma of the lack of a pre-k playground at the Main Campus.
"This is an exciting opportunity to create a universal pre-k program for children in both of our districts to learn and grow together. This is the beginning of a collaboration that is filled with promise and opportunity to improve programming for students and increase fiscal efficiencies in our districts," Fredonia Superintendent of Schools Paul DiFonzo said.
"We appreciate Dunkirk's willingness to be creative and work together to meet the needs of students in both of our districts," DiFonzo said.

I am planing to buy one of these combinations and I just wonder if there is any difference in sound between them.
I heared that both the M1 and the M1A work well with the Para Di.
But does the additional preamp of the M1A really not effect the sound anymore when put infront of the Para Di?
Thanks and greetings,

Review of Marketing Science
Ed. by Rao, Ram C.
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2015: 0.103
- Online
- 1546-5616
Aims and Scope
The Review of Marketing Science (ROMS) is a peer-reviewed electronic-only journal whose mission is twofold: wide and rapid dissemination of the latest research in marketing, and a one-stop review of important marketing research across the field, past and present.
Unlike most marketing journals, ROMS is able to publish peer-reviewed articles immediately thanks to its electronic format. Electronic publication is designed to ensure speedy publication. It works in a very novel and simple way. An issue of ROMS opens and then closes after a year. All papers accepted during the year are part of the issue, and appear as soon as they are accepted. Combined with the rapid peer-review process, this makes for quick dissemination.
In addition, ROMS is a one-stop reference destination: it reviews and analyzes the best marketing research available, from past years' seminal articles to this year's best new publications in marketing science.
O'Dell Papers: In collaboration with the American Marketing Association (AMA), ROMS features each year's O'Dell Award winner (a paper published five years earlier that made the most significant contribution to marketing science). ROMS publishes invited responses to the O'Dell paper that comment on the state of research in the field today.
Conference Papers: ROMS sponsors a special session at each year's Marketing Science conference, and publishes the papers shortly thereafter.
Review Papers: In its role as a one-stop review of the best in marketing science, ROMS offers integrative review papers of recent marketing research published throughout the field.
ROMS recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of marketing and so seeks to publish articles with managerial, quantitative and behavioral orientations. The common theme among ROMS articles is the relationship of research to marketing management issues. ROMS emphasizes substantive results that stimulate other researchers as they pursue their work. With this in mind, ROMS is especially interested in papers that may be considered controversial by some, papers that report early results that will be further developed but over a longer time horizon, and papers that offer a broad overview and survey of topics that are currently interesting to many researchers. As such, both established scholars and young researchers will find a receptive outlet for their work.
For a paper to be accepted it must report original research (exceptions being survey papers) and contain novel results that are relevant to marketing researchers and/or practitioners. It must use currently accepted research methods and approaches. It can be long or short. The contribution can be major or relatively modest. We can accommodate this wide spectrum of papers because we publish electronically — that is our strength.

Submission of Manuscripts
Instructions for Authors
This document provides authors with details on policy, copyediting, formatting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered for publication.
The manuscript submission and review process is handled through ScholarOne Manuscripts. All manuscripts should be submitted to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/dgroms.
Unpublished material: Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described is not copyrighted, published or submitted elsewhere, except in abstract form. The corresponding author should ensure that all authors approve the manuscript before its submission.
Copyright: Manuscripts are accepted on condition of transfer of copyright (for U.S. government employees: to the extent transferable) to Review of Marketing Science. Once the manuscript is accepted, it may not be published elsewhere without the consent of the copyright holders.
The ScholarOne system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does provide a light copyedit of manuscripts for this journal, but authors remain responsible for being their own copyeditors.
All manuscripts must be written in clear and concise English. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional language editor.
Please get in touch with the Language Editors directly to discuss details.

• Titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
The use of abbreviations and acronyms is permitted provided they are defined the first time they are used.
Headings (e.g., title of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text:
• Clearly indicate the heading hierarchy.
• Be consistent in whether or not you use headline case, or you capitalize the first word and leave the rest in lower-case.
• Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper.
• Excessively long footnotes are better handled in an appendix.
• General requirements: All illustrations must be of reproduction-ready quality and in EPS, TIF, or JPG format. They will be reduced in size to fit, whenever possible, the width of a single column. Lettering of all figures within the article should be uniform in style (preferably a sans serif typeface like Helvetica) and of sufficient size (ca. 8 pt.).Uppercase letters A, B, C, etc. should be used to identify parts of multi-part figures. Cite all figures in the text in numerical order. Indicate the approximate placement of each figure. Do not embed figures within the text body of the manuscript; submit figures in separate files. Only figures (graphs, line drawings, photographs, etc) should be labeled as 'figures', not tables or equations.
• Halftone figures (grayscale and color) should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and be of good contrast. Authors are welcome to submit color illustrations. We are pleased to offer both Print and Online publication of color figures free of charge.the services of a professional language editor.

• Offprints: The electronic files of typeset articles in Adobe Acrobat PDF format are provided free of charge; corresponding authors receive notification that their article has been published online. Paper offprints can be ordered in addition; an offprint order form will accompany the page proofs and should be completed and returned with the corrected proofs immediately.
• Please do not embed figures in the text. Instead, they should be referenced in the text and submitted in separate files.
• Number tables consecutively using Arabic numerals. Tables should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text. Provide a short descriptive title, column headings, and (if necessary) footnotes to make each table self-explanatory. Refer to tables in the text as Table 1, 2, etc. Use Table 1, etc. in the table legends.
• Tables must not be displayed as images.
• Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables must be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Subscripts and superscripts must be a smaller font size than the main text.
• Type short mathematical expressions inline.
• Longer expressions must appear as display math, as must expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as fractions).
• Ensure that Equations are typed or created with a plug-in, such as Word Formula Editor or MathType. Mathematical expressions must not be displayed as images
• Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
• Number your equations sequentially.

I don't know if she's met aliens, but I'm damn sure she's been colonized.
That is so,,,, just wrong! And she has a tongue stud!
Hahaha...bookmarking this thread just for the remarks.. :-)
Courtesy Ping. You may admit or deny. Your preference. But we KNOW it anyway.
Does "I'm not sure?" count?
I doubt Mary Matalin posts there.
Well, Earth girls are easy...
I hope she's one of the aliens. I don't want to share DNA with her.
Well, a long time ago before I got married there was this cute little Mexican girl I met once in Nogales ...
Ghosts? I thought you said goats.
She had a green card so at least she was a legal alien.

Posted on 10/07/2012 7:55:48 PM PDT by Perseverando
On Tuesday, October 2, 2012, the Fox Valley Conservative Forum, which meets regularly for a luncheon on Tuesdays in Appleton, Wisconsin, hosted a talk by South African Sonia Hruska (pictured). Hruska, who now lives in the United States, discussed the ongoing genocide against white people in her country under the largely communist-controlled ANC government of Jacob Zuma.
Born in Victoria, South Africa, to a nontraditional Afrikaner family, with a right-wing father and a left-wing mother, Hruska would go on to work in politics as a consultant in the presidential administration of Nelson Mandela from 1994 to 2001. I was the coordinator between the different spheres of government, civil society and state organizations, to actually implement the new government policies, Hruska said.
As an early supporter of Mandela and the dream of a rainbow South Africa, Hruska truly believed in establishing a country where, regardless of the color of ones skin or ethnicity, one could live in harmony and equality. Unfortunately, as she described, the opposite came true.
After about six years, Hruska said, I realized something serious is wrong; the communist elements are taking over, its not what we were promised. She explained the change that followed:
Whites were getting excluded through affirmative action and black economic empowerment. And at the same time, the Chinese got black status; so the whites were excluded and the Chinese were included under affirmative action as black. We now find that a white is not allowed to enter, for instance, into management, but a Chinese person may buy a mine or buy shares in a mine, and the same [is true] with banks.
As a business owner, I can get 25 years in jail time if I do employ a white person, for instance. It is totally ridiculous; you cannot have imagined that affirmative

Hard to even read about what's going on.
It's not like white South Africans can return to Europe either. After all, according to the EU, Europe no longer belongs to Europeans. They are a people without a homeland. :(
Gee, who saw this coming? Zimbabwe, the Sequel.
This is what happens when sinful men are allowed to "rule" their former oppressors (not justice) aka only civil justice for those who persecuted black in the former regime-but revenge against even innocent whites. It was typical but anyone with a semi-intelligent mind could tell this was coming. Sad but the interntnl. community will never do anything about this (because the whites are largely-or were European Christians)!
More proof that Blacks are racists....and White Guilt Liberals who do not believe so may just be the most ignorant people on the planet
Why any white person would live in Africa is beyond me.
Looks like Marxists are getting control of the entire world....they almost have the USA, even.
Marxists run our schools, run our media-—it won't be long if we don't wrest control of our children's minds and wean them off of TV rot.
Wow....that was their goal, wasn't it? One World Government. Start conflicts all over —and infiltrate all the institutions of the country after forcing Political Correctness to destroy Truth and put every one into different groups and give special rights to some to build up hate and divide so State can move in.
They always reward their degenerate friends and kill or enslave the rest.
We need to get OUT the Marxist curricula in Public Schools. Take back MSM. They brainwash in the public schools. This is their MO-—along with taking control of all information in media. They will try to get the internet and our guns.....oh, yes, they are doing it bit by bit. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
From the pictures I've seen, South Africa is quite physically beautiful. If it was safer, I'd love to visit there sometime. However, I agree. With the racial/political climate in existence today, it would be suicide for a white person to try to live there.
It's been about 30 years since I worked in Rhodesia and South Africa. Back then, the whites were reading the writing on the wall and those that could were making plans on getting out. Most of the Rhodesians planned on going to the UK, even though a lot of Rhodesians were 3rd or 4th generation Africans. Many of the South Africans were planning on heading for Australia. The stubborn Boers were planning to stand their ground.
From the pictures I've seen, South Africa is quite physically beautiful. If it was safer, I'd love to visit there sometime. However, I agree. With the racial/political climate in existence today, it would be suicide for a white person to try to live there.
I agree about the natural beauty of the land. It's the humans living there I worry about.
I remember arguing with my history teacher in high school because I predicted exactly this, and he was sure all races would be holding hands in SA and singing kumbaya. I really wish I'd been wrong.
The ANC was known to be communist from the beginning but too many failed to believe it, they were caught up in the "rainbow" kumbaya crap.
I talked with a white South African a couple of years ago at work about this subject. He was totally clueless. Most of his family still lives in Cape Town and he didn't foresee any problems. I specifically asked him what would happen when Mandela dies and he thought I was nuts.
I'm guessing your teacher was a liberal who was deluded by his own fantasies about the reality of human nature. Like many conservatives, my views are quite Augustinian on human nature so I have no trouble believing South Africa would turn into the Zimbabwe style disaster it's turning into now.
Willful ignorance knows no bounds. Perhaps he's blinded by Cape Town's beauty.
Many whites are born in South Africa, have lives and family there. Not to mention it's very costly to apply for a passport which is most likely to be denied, with no refund. These people are captive.
As an early supporter of Mandela and the dream of a rainbow South Africa, Hruska truly believed in establishing a country where, regardless of the color of ones skin or ethnicity, one could live in harmony and equality. Unfortunately, as she described, the opposite came true.
this sounds familiar, isn't there a country that some rich white old guys fought for?
She expected what.... fairness.... silly liberal girl...
She expected what.... fairness.... silly liberal girl...
Yeah, it was called "America" and it's basically dead and gone. The citizens there elected an African communist as its president in 2008, and the country is now little more than a land mass populated by cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be redistributed to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.
The nation lasted about 200 years, though, and that ain't bad. I understand there's an attempt underway to revive the place, and its final fate will be determined in November. I guess we'll see, but I'm not holding my breath. Quite the opposite, in fact - - I'm hunkered down under the radar, living well, and having a blast.
This woman reminds me of that other liberal scumbag, Cathy Buckle, who was born and raised in the "Breadbasket of Africa", AKA Rhodesia, where she and her lawyer father helped throw out the colonialists and elevate Robert Mugabe to the presidency. Now she writes a newsletter bemoaning what a complete mess the place has become. At least she stayed there in the nest she fouled - - unlike this Sonia Hruska - - rather than come to America to do the same mischief by voting Democrat.
True white liberals FUBAR'ed Rhodesia..
Mugabe is their punishment..
Like Obama is Americas punishment.. for abortion and other things...
Yeah right, like no one saw this coming. It could very well happen here too, but I think they will have to make a huge gun grab first.
Nope, just educated guesses by me based on Hruska's history of campaigning for and working for the communist Mandela and his party for at least 6 years as well as the wacky fantasyland she envisioned for South Africa at the beginning. Also, the story states that she, "now lives in the United States", and that doesn't sound temporary to me. I am presuming, therefore, that she is a citizen or intends to seek citizenship. Her history makes me think she is likely a fan of Ubama. Liberals don't give up on their fantasies and rarely learn from the disasters they leave behind.
I hope I'm wrong about her, and I do appreciate her honesty in talking about the murderous decline of South Africa
Because they were born there? And because their ancestors have been there as long, if not longer, than all yours have been in America?
Things were okay for them when Whites were in control, they aren't now. South Africa is about 85+% Black. Time to leave or expect violence in your future.
Is that your advice to Americans if things go that way here? Where do you expect all these people to just get up and go to? Name one country that elevates those of European ancestry above others, even in Europe.
America will never be 85% Black. If I was living in an area that started becoming heavily black, I would leave. See Philly for blacks destroying a formerly decent city. (I was born in Philly and lived outside of it for 15 years) Many of the whites in S.A. won't leave, but I certainly would. I would try Australia, Canada, US, or a northern European country.
Thank you mandella and his American supporters
"Willful ignorance knows no bounds. Perhaps hes blinded by Cape Towns beauty.
That is quite a photo!
Unfortunately, these photos are not nearly as pleasant to see. In fact, sensitive souls should not view them:
Afrikaner Genocide Museum
Almost 70,000 whites brutally and sadistically murdered by SA blacks since the ANC took power in 1994. This is a murder rate of SA whites six times the rate of the murder rate in Detroit, Murder City USA.

My Top 10 MAC Glosses
I apologize for my two day absence. I had a bout of food poisoning and then I needed to prepare for a presentation in class yesterday. The presentation went well, I'm recovered and I'm back with another post! I'm hoping to get my video editing system working so I can finally get a new video up. Meanwhile, I'm continuuing my series on my favorite MAC products. I've already featured my favorite lipsticks and eyeshadows. Today I'll be focusing in on my favorite glosses - or lipglasses, gelees, lustreglasses, whatever you want to call them, lol.
Click here for more!
These are all go to colors in my kit and personal collection. Sadly many of these are limited edition. I haven't bought from the new collections in a little while. These are a mix between lustreglasses, lipglasses and I threw in a lip gellee.
1) MAC Viva Glam V - This is the perfect mid-tone mauve that looks great on absolutely everyone.
I hope you all enjoyed my post. I haven't bought any MAC lipglasses in a while. For a minute there, I fell into the MAC trend of only picking up the limited edition items. I know there are some MAC permanent classics out there that I've always wanted to try...Pink Poodle, Love Nectar, Oh Baby...what do you guys recommend? Tell me what colors you like and what skin tone you are and i'll add it to my shopping list, thanks!

You mentioned you squeeze tube glosses on a palette or in a jar for your clients, but I was wondering.. how do you use one with a doe-foot applicator on your clients?
I love hearing about the things you do for your clients as a MUA, it's so fascinating! Thanks for sharing :)

Glad to be back Lolly! Emily, when I use the doe foot applicator glosses, I apply the lipgloss to a palette...sometimes it takes about 2-3 dips into the tube to get it. The applicator never touches anything but the palette to keep it clean. Then I use a lipbrush or disposable lip product to get the product from the palette to the client's lips.

Love this--I'm gonna have to get C-thru and Revealing for sure!! My current faves are Nymphette, Nico, and Underage-- They all look great over any nude look (and by themselves). Sometimes I use the Underage over something like Angel lipstick. I'm medium/caramel toned. ;-)

European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
The cutting-edge technology is able to assess and predict human impacts on a diverse range of ecosystems
Microsoft's Computational Science Lab and UNEP-WCMC, based in Cambridge UK, have developed the first computer model able to simulate how all organisms interact on a global scale. The model creates a simulation of life on Earth, following a set of basic ecological tools found in the real world.
The Microsoft and UNEP-WCMC team have highlighted the importance of this technology as, unlike previous models, it is able to assess and predict human impacts on a diverse range of ecosystems. It can be applied to any ecosystem, marine or terrestrial, and can be applied at any scale from local to global.
UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner said, "Anthropogenic activities are causing widespread degradation of ecosystems worldwide, threatening the ecosystem services upon which all life depends. Madingley is an exciting new technology which offers the scientific community and world leaders a vital tool to anticipate how unsustainable development pathways would affect the natural world."
"The model is the first to couple all of the key biological processes and ecological theory that underpin the life cycle and behaviour of living organisms, from energy acquisition, to feeding metabolism, reproduction, dispersal and earth. The tool will improve our understanding of the causes and impacts of degradation, helping scientists and governments develop avoidance and mitigation measures," he added.
The team initially simulated the physical Earth with continents, oceans and a global climate, before inserting digital organisms. As the simulations progress over time, scientists are able to observe and assess how different types of organisms interact with environmental niches and, crucially, how they might be impacted by a changing environment.
The Madingley Model is open sourced. It is hoped that the scientific community will dissect and improve the current version. "Our model is a first working version which will hopefully encourage other scientists to become involved in developing this, or analogous, global models of life" said Drew Purves, Head of the Computational Ecology and Environmental Science group (CEES) and co-author of the initiative.
Scientists using the Madingley Model will now be able to answer crucial questions previously unanswerable. They will, for example, be able to show what will happen to an ecosystem if bees become extinct and they will be able to show decision makers how our world will look if action is not taken to safeguard our planet's future.

Lesson Plan
Apples, Apples, Apples Lesson Plan
Use the book to teach about the characteristics of different types of apples through cooking and other activities.
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
About this book
Book Summary
Join the bunny family on an apple-picking trip to the Long Hill Orchard. The story incorporates fiction with informational text to teach children all about apples. Includes an applesauce recipe and several apple-related activities. The perfect fall book for any classroom planning a trip to an orchard or farmer's market.
Children will develop science and math skills as they learn about different types of apples, identify characteristics of apples, and engage in cooking and graphing activities.
Before Reading
On a sheet of chart paper, write the following question: What can you do with an apple? Show the children the book Apples, Apples, Apples. Ask them to look at the cover and describe what the bunny is doing. Review the question that is written on the sheet of chart paper. Ask the children to think of different things that can be done with an apple after it has been picked from the tree. Record their responses.
Teaching Plan: Learning About Apples, Apples, Apples
- Chart paper
- Markers
- Several color varieties of apples (red delicious, golden delicious, granny smith)
- Soil
- Plastic cups
- Masking tape
- Construction paper: white, brown, red, yellow, green
- Glue sticks
- For planting: soil, apple seeds, plastic cups or pint-size milk cartons
Set Up and Prepare
Read the book Apples, Apples, Apples with the class. Plan a class trip to an orchard, farmer's market, or local store to purchase different varieties of apples. Explain to the children that they will engage in a variety of activities using apples, including the activities that are presented in the book.
1. Observing Apples. Show the graph of the different varieties of apples depicted in the book. Review the information with the class. Explain that they will learn about different types of apples. Place the apples in the middle of the meeting area or on a table. Invite the class to look at and compare the shapes of the apples. Ask them to describe the differences and similarities. Invite the children to feel the different apples. Prepare a sheet of chart paper to record their observations.
2. Smelling Apples. Place one of each type of apple in a small basket or container. Tell the class that they will each have a turn to smell the different types of apples. Ask them to compare the different apple smells. Do the different-color apples all smell similar? It is important to encourage hands-on sensory exploration of the apples. Record their responses on chart paper.
3. Comparing Apple Seeds. Show students the page in the book where Mr. Miller cuts an apple in half to reveal a star and the seeds. Ask them to recall how many seeds an apple can have. Have an adult cut each apple in half. Invite the children to predict how many seeds they will find in each apple. Do they think that different types of apples will have more or less seeds? Will the seeds all be the same shape or color? Cut all of the apples in half and show the section with the seeds. Record their observations on a sheet of chart paper listing the type of apple, number of seeds, and any other information that the children would like to include.
4. Apple-Seed Study. Save the seeds from each apple for a planting activity. Place each type of apple seed in a separate labeled plastic cup or bag and set aside. Ask the children if they think they can grow an apple tree from the seeds. Provide them with plastic cups or pint-size milk cartons for planting, seeds, and potting soil. Label each planting container with the type of apple seed it contains. Assist students as they fill the containers with the soil and seeds. Add water to moisten the soil. Encourage the children to find an area inside the classroom to place the containers. Plan to observe the apple seeds over a two- to three-week period. Prepare a weekly observation chart to record information about the growth of the plants.
5. Tasting Apples and Graphing Our Favorites. Make a graph on a large sheet of chart paper to record the children's favorite apples. Write the following question on the top of the graph: What is your favorite kind of apple? Divide the paper into vertical columns for each type of apple that the children will taste. Label each column with the name of each type of apple. Use colored construction paper to make apple cutout shapes to depict the different types of apples the children will taste. Cut the apples in advance, giving a slice of each type to the children. Invite the children to taste each type of apple. Engage the children in a discussion about the different tastes and textures. Is the apple sweet or tart, crisp or soft? Show the children the graph and review the question with them. Invite them to glue a cutout paper apple in the column that represents their favorite apple. Encourage the class to observe the information on the graph as it is being completed. Invite the children to read the completed graph and develop a summary sheet. What was the most popular apple? What was the least popular? What was the taste and texture of the most popular apple?
6. Apple Parts Collage. Show the children the page in the book that illustrates an apple cut in half and the parts of the apple. Explain to the children that they will use construction paper to make a similar apple collage. Provide the children with pre-cut construction paper representing the stem, skin, core, flesh, seeds, and leaf of the apple, and a sheet of blue paper and glue sticks. Invite a small group of children to the art area to assemble their apple collage. Offer assistance if needed. Encourage the children to label the parts of the apple. Children can also label the leaf and seeds of the apple. Who remembers the other name for an apple seed?
7. Book Activities. Don't forget to incorporate the various activities presented at the end of the story into your "Apples" study! Follow the recipe to make delicious applesauce. Collect small baby-food jars and send home a sample of the applesauce along with the copy of the recipe. Invite families to send in additional easy apple recipes that the children can use for further classroom cooking activities.

Norma,I had to resort to the Hannaford website because the Parkay website does not list the ingredients in their products, only the Nutrition Facts. Apparently retailers like Hannaford and Walmart and Shoprite require the ingredients lists and that is where they can usually be found. In the case of the Hannaford website, I didn't need to see the Parkay container since I already knew what it looked like. However, I found that if you enter a location where Hannaford has a store, the pop-up you mentioned will disappear. I entered Massachusetts, where I knew Hannaford had several stores, and the pop-up disappeared.If you'd like, you can see a photo of the Parkay Squeeze product at http://www.parkay.com/our-spreads.jsp .Peter

More like they probably said...."That's that Norma lady from pizza making .com....jus let her do her thing man"
Bob,Lol, I don't think the shift manager had any idea of who I am. What pizza place would think some old lady would try to clone one of their products. Norma
JasonT,Papa John's uses the same dough for its breadsticks as it uses to make its pizzas. However, the amount of dough to use to make the breadsticks depends on the type of breadsticks you want to make. As noted at http://order.papajohns.com/nutrition/2/subMenu.html, Papa John's makes three kinds of breadsticks--the regular Breadsticks, Parmesan Breadsticks and Cheesesticks. For the Breadsticks and Parmesan Breadsticks, PJ uses the same amount of dough, around 20 ounces, as it uses to make its large (14") pizzas. This is confirmed by the PJ Nutrition Facts. For its Cheesesticks, PJ uses the same amount of dough, around 14.5 ounces, as it uses for its medium (12") pizzas. This is also confirmed by the PJ Nutrition Facts. You should also know that the serving sizes for the three forms of breadsticks and the way they are made are not the same. For example, the PJ Breadsticks and the Parmesan Breadsticks have 10 pieces. The Cheesesticks have 14 pieces, although some PJ stores cut the final product into 16 pieces. The way that the Breadsticks and Parmesan Breadsticks are made can be seen in these YouTube videos:For the Cheesesticks, see this YouTube video:Since I started this thread, there has been some new information brought to my attention on the PJ dough. I have also revisited the PJ Nutrition Facts and have done some additional analysis as a result. My suggestion at this point is to use the dough formulation at Reply 5 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25719.msg259461.html#msg259461 for a 14" PJ clone pizza (or for the Breadsticks and Parmesan Breadsticks), and the dough formulation given at Reply 6 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25603.msg258178.html#msg258178 for a 12" PJ pizza (or for the Cheesesticks). The two formulations are for a 5-8 day cold fermented dough as was discussed on the first page of this thread. I do not think that the modified formulations as referenced above will produce materially different results than the original version in terms of the crust flavor or texture. Any differences in that respect will be masked by the sauce, cheese and toppings put on the pizza. The crusts will be thinner, however, using the modified formulations. There may also be some flavor and textural differences if the flours suggested in the abovereferenced links to the modified dough formulations are used instead of the KABF.For those who prefer to use the other modifications of the original formulation set forth in this thread, the other formulations can still be used but they should use the same baker's percents for the oil and sugar (and maybe some minor changes in the hydration values) as noted in the new versions of the dough formulations mentioned above.Peter
A weirdo lady would. Lol
That squeeze Parkay looks like it's going to work good.Just a thought...are there any folks at your Market that sell garlic juice? I wonder how that would taste instead of/or in addition to garlic powder?
Norma,That squeeze Parkay looks like it's going to work good.Just a thought...are there any folks at your Market that sell garlic juice? I wonder how that would taste instead of/or in addition to garlic powder?Bob
Norma,While Nate used a pan to make the PJ clone Cheesesticks, I believe that PJ uses a pizza screen or maybe a perforated disk (I didn't see either in the photos you posted). Also, PJ uses only the 12" dough ball, not a 14" dough ball, to make the Cheesesticks. For the 12" size, I estimated from the PJ Nutrition Facts that the amount of Garlic sauce was about 1 1/2 ounces, by weight. If you decide that you would rather go with the 14" size, the amount of garlic sauce would be about 1 1/2 x (49/36) = approx. 2 ounces, also by weight.As for the flour, I have been suggesting that one use a flour with a protein content of about 13.4-13.6%. That is higher than the protein content of the KABF (12.7%) and Mondako (12.9%) flours. Nate used the Bouncer flour, which has a protein content of 13.8 +/- 0.3%. If you have a high-gluten flour available for use to make the PJ clone Cheesesticks, maybe you can blend that with the KABF or Mondako flour. I can help you with the calculations once you decide on the size issue. I might add that the brands of flours that I previously mentioned were selected because they are not bromated. Peter
Norma,I assume that you will be making the PJ clone Cheesesticks at market. If that is so, you should use whichever carrier (screen or disk) you think will work better in your deck oven at market.The Power flour is a good choice to make the PJ clone Cheesesticks because its protein content is 13.5%. It is also an unbromated flour. That flour should be a good test to compare the results using that flour with the real PJ Cheesesticks.I think you can use the granulated garlic if you think it will dissolve sufficiently in the Parkay Squeeze product. Granulated garlic is of a coarser grind than the garlic powder and has a more potent garlic taste than the garlic powder and you can use less of it than garlic powder. Garlic powder is said to dissolve better and faster in liquids.Peter

I ordered three one-liter cans of Partanna Extra Virgin Olive Oil.The company screwed up and sent me three three-liter cans of Partanna Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the one-liter priceWhat's an honest man to do?I'm very happy.
I've decided to dole out one whole can to friends...in 12 oz increments. I bought a dozen pourers, and will consume a couple six packs of some bottled malt beverages. After drinking the malt beverages, I'll thoroughly clean and dry the bottles, then refill them with the Partanna. Gifties for some foodie friends. Hopefully, I won't get dinged in heaven.

Just thought I would let you guys know that the question "What street was the original Forest on?" is a little upsetting to those of us who are not familiar with the forests old life.
Jen is trying to create an account here and we cant get past this question even I don't know the answer to and I have volunteered at the forest for a while (maybe not recently)
If we are supposed to be an open community why is this needed to register on the bb. I know its to stop bots and the like but come on eh?
anyway rant over.
much love P x

My job is about to get a whole lot busier! Monday Morning marks the effective start of the 67th United Nations General Assembly. Leaders from 193 countries will come to New York City during the annual series of meetings.
This is basically the diplomatic community's equivalent of the World Cup, World Series, and Super Bowl all rolled into one. My colleagues from the U.S. State Department and I will be headed up to New York this weekend. We will work pretty much nonstop for the next two weeks. We'll attend meetings, make speeches, brief the press and generally highlight our concerns and promote our national priorities whenever and wherever we can.
Tuesday morning, along with the world, we will be listening to President Obama when he addresses the UN General Assembly.
For anyone interested in global affairs, this is an incredible time to tune in. We will have a series of events broadcast live across a variety of platforms. I have already outlined our key goals and objectives at a speech here in DC last week. I also enjoyed participating in a great online discussion about the UN and other issues on Facebook.
Moving forward, we have four broad priorities for the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly. First, we will continue to advance U.S. interests and objectives at the UN. That includes effective implementation of international sanctions on Iran's illicit nuclear program. We'll work to strengthen global nonproliferation and counterterrorism efforts, bolster UN peacekeeping and conflict resolution capabilities, and promote greater global cooperation on atrocity prevention. And we will continue to oppose unilateral Palestinian actions in the UN on issues that can only be achieved through direct negotiations.
Second, we're going to expand our efforts on UN reform. We're going to work to lock in last December's historic five percent reduction in the UN regular budget, to further strengthen accountability and oversight, to take concrete steps to increase integrity and support streamlining efforts, so more of the UN's programs can target those who need them most. Third, we'll maintain our global leadership on human rights. The Human Rights Council is an important part of this agenda, and we're seeking reelection to it this autumn. Fourth, we'll build on the progress already made toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals and on Rio+20. We'll push for more effective and efficient support across the UN for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
With these goals in mind, let me outline some of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's activities this week. On Monday, September 24, Secretary Clinton will help launch the Equal Futures Partnership, a new initiative to break down barriers to women's participation in economic and political institutions around the world.
On Tuesday, September 25, she will join President Obama for his address to the General Assembly and his traditional meetings with UN leadership. Later that day, she will attend a meeting on water security and an event highlighting U.S. assistance to civil society activists around the world. She will also attend the traditional Transatlantic Dinner with our European allies and partners.
On Wednesday, September 26, the Secretary will attend an event highlighting the progress on the Millennium Development Goals. She will attend an event emphasizing the shared responsibility for addressing the HIV crisis in Africa, and she will represent the United States at a meeting hosted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the evolving crisis in the Sahel. That afternoon, the Secretary will also represent the United States at the UN Security Council session that Germany has called on peace and security in the Middle East.
On Thursday, September 27, Secretary Clinton will participate in high-level meetings on Yemen and Haiti. She will also highlight U.S. engagement in Asia and the Pacific at a meeting with foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Friday, September 28, will largely be dedicated to Middle East issues. The Secretary will host an ad-hoc meeting on Syria to highlight the continuing deterioration of the situation there and to promote transition planning. She will also host events with the G-8 Deauville Partnership Group and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
As you can see, it is going to be a very busy week. You can stay tuned to the DipNote blog and follow @StateDept, @State_IO, and @USUN on Twitter for updates about events, and go to usun.state.gov and the IO Bureau's web page for additional information about U.S. engagement at the UN.

I realize the context is difficult given all that is going on in the Middle East. But I strongly object to sitting on the needs of the Palestinian people to achieve some movement toward a legitimate status. They have a right to a bigger seat at the table. The current situation is unjust.

Let's hope that the strategically placed billboards of missing American Robert Levinson last seen on Kish Island, Iran 2007 will inspire much discussion on his release as this large delegation of world leaders converges in New York!
Thank you for your Esther Brimmer. Always interesting.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Esther,
Thanks for the week ahead.
Right about now the President is putting the finishing touches on his UNGA speech and not to interject content, or write the speech for him (chuckle); I just want him to know that there are some folks who consider all the hats he wears and the weight they become at times, and it's that hat of the "chief instigator" on the world stage that will ease the load..,for all Americans.
To use the premis wisely so to change the nature of the conversation, and move Humanity forward.
Hope you'll pass it onward and upward,
Best Regards,
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
@ Maureen in Massachusetts -- 100 percent agree that getting Mr. Robert Levinson home to his family would be the ideal solution. This is what the State Department is tasked to do, help find missing Americans in foreign countries.

@ Donald in Virginia -- This is the "ideal†forum for UN delegates to commit to some dialogue focusing on the release of Mr. Levinson. Keeping this story alive is the least we could do. Thanks for your continued interest 100 percent.

Amniocentesis is an optional prenatal test that can reveal important information about your baby before he or she is born. It is often performed during the second trimester of pregnancy (usually between 15 and 20 weeks) to test for some of the most common chromosomal and genetic birth defects, including Down Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Tay-Sachs, Huntington's disease, spina bifida and anencephaly. It can also be used later in pregnancy to assess anemia in babies with Rh disease, to determine if your baby's lungs are mature enough for early delivery if you are experiencing preterm labor or must deliver early for another reason, and to determine whether you have an infection (if your water has broken early) or if your doctor suspects you may have one.
When testing for birth defects, amniocentesis is usually only offered to women who have certain risk factors, including:
Before you have an amniocentesis, you should discuss with a genetic counselor all the risks and benefits associated with the test. While the incidence of problems resulting from an amniocentesis is rare, miscarriage does occur in approximately one in 200 to 400 cases, and there is a slight risk of uterine infection (less than one in 1,000) that can sometimes lead to miscarriage.
If you decide to have an amniocentesis, your doctor will first do an ultrasound to measure your baby and locate a pocket of amniotic fluid that is safely away from your baby. He or she will clean your abdomen with alcohol and then, under constant ultrasound monitoring, will insert a long hollow needle through your abdomen and into your amniotic sac and withdraw an ounce or two of amniotic fluid. You may feel a slight pinching, pressure, or cramping during the procedure, although some women feel nothing at all.
Afterwards, your doctor will check your baby's heartbeat to ensure everything is normal. You should take it easy for the rest of the day and avoid strenuous activity for the next two days. You may continue to experience mild cramping, which is normal; however, if you have significant cramping, vaginal spotting or bleeding, develop a fever, or if you begin leaking amniotic fluid, contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs of infection or impending miscarriage.
For more information:
