Increased state aid may become a wash
DOLLAR BAY – There may be an increase in state aid coming to Michigan schools, but with other cuts, the amount school districts receive will stay the same, according to Dr. Jan Quarless.
During the regular meeting Monday of the Dollar Bay-Tamarack City Area Schools Board of Education, Quarless, district superintendent, said Gov. Rick Snyder in his proposed education budget suggested a 2.2 percent increase in state aid to schools, which would work out to $36 per student.
However, Quarless said the amount to go to schools for following the Michigan Department of Education Best Practices requirements will drop from $52 to $16.
"In actuality, it's even money," Quarless said of the proposed state aid to schools. "What you've done is move money. The good news is it's not a decrease."
The amount schools need to pay for retirement will stay the same, Quarless said.
Board members also saw a presentation about the trip to Washington, D.C. some of members of the high school Student Organization of Aquatic Robotics class made to receive the National Park Service Hertzog Award for Outstanding Youth Group in the country. They were chosen as the award winners for the Midwest Region in October.
One of the submersible Remotely Operated Vehicles the SOAR students made was used to check for the level of infestation of zebra mussels at Isle Royale National Park, and it was that work that won the students the award.
After a slide presentation about the trip, teacher Matt Zimmer said he essentially just gives guidance to the students.
"They run themselves," he said.
Zimmer said there is a plan to upgrade and use the ROV to search for a sunken ship in the Portage Lake Ship Canal before taking to search for undocumented shipwrecks in Copper Harbor.
In other business, board members:
heard from K-12 principal William Rivest the district will be used as a test site for an online version of the Michigan Educational Assessment Program test. Eventually, all districts in the state will take the MEAP test online.
approved a resolution to increase school board member terms from four years to six years.

and you're still here?
its a miracle
not a miracle that its my 100th post, Im a jabberbox
but, the fact that you've hung on, so loyal
I love you all, you rock my socks!
so, this post is for you
Ive been getting requests to talk about soapmaking, something I happen to know a little bit about having made literally thousands of bars of soap.
Let me preface this by saying it is NOT a tutorial for soapmaking, it is just a photojournalistic adventure into my process. If you'd like to know how to make soap, please visit the Miller Soap Site or Teach Soap for detailed info about soapmaking.
Still with me?
If so, here's soapmaking, my way!
There are no photos of me because I was behind the camera, but if you could see me, you'd see me in goggles to protect my eyes in case of splashes.
I line my mold.
Then, I measure my oils, both solids and liquids into my mixing bucket and using my stickblender, I blend them all together.
This is my swirl mixture, it is made of Dead Sea mud and orange clay.
I add about 10 ounces of soap to the cup and stir to blend.
To the base portion, still in the original mixing bucket, I add my essential oils, in this case its Orange and Patchouli.
Using both my hands and hence, not the camera, I poured the clay/mud soap mixture into the fragranced and uncolored base portion then immediately poured the whole she-bang into the mold.
When it thickened up in the mold, I used the back of a spoon to texture the top.
I just love it when it looks like custard...
Then, it goes into the oven at 170*F for about an hour until it gels.
This part of the process isn't necessary, unless you are me and feel the need to cut soap the same day its made. I must have instant gratification like an 8 year old....I'll blog more about my immaturity and refusal to grow up sometime.
All you psychiatrists out there can have a field day.
Here we are fresh out of the oven!
Its DIVINE.
Okay, so I can hear you after reading all this mumbo jumbo, "Bring on the GIVEAWAY, woman!!"
Keep your pants on.
The winner of the giveaway will receive one soap bar of each of these batches I made.
The soap needs to sit a week or two before I send it so keep that in mind, please.
All you have to do is comment to this post and answer this question:
Or if you don't bathe, tell me that, too.
Although if you win, sending you soap would be unnecessary.
p.s...all my soaps are made with vegetable oils, organic, if possible.
the orange/patchouli soap is made with essential oils and the goats milk soap has a small amount of a honey fragrance oil.
I'll leave the comments open until Friday when I'll randomly pick a winner AND have a new recipe for you all, cuz I luv ya.

That said, before the chaos hit, I was "tweaking" the master bedroom.
And an "in progress" picture.
I don't know what hit me, but all of a sudden, I just needed a lighter, summery look.
I "borrowed" furniture, art, and accessories from other rooms, lots of scraping and shoving--great exercise, right? The white chair was in the living room, and the ottoman was in the bath. The little French chest needs a top, maybe a remnant from the stone/marble place, but it'll have to go topless this summer.
I'm wild about the drapery rods ($8 and $6, Big Lots). The draperies are linen, straight and simple. I'm waiting on 5 panels. I'm waiting for strong men to move the furniture that's not pictured. I'm waiting for time, inspiration, and $$, the holy trio of design projects.
I hung a humongous resin mirror over the bed, and it freaked out Dr. G. He took it down but wouldn't rehang it, as he has a mortal fear of nail holes, and he well knows how I am in that department.
Well, it did look unstable on those two puny nails.
Or not.
Maybe I'll go peach and green for fall.
That's the way it goes around here.
I don't know if my blogger friends ever get blocked, or hit the word wall, but it can be miserable. It's like being hungry, you're craving something...you just don't know what. So you eat everything, and nothing satisfies. Sometimes puttering around the house, making a tablescape (or eating something carby), will break up the logjam. Bigger projects, like the one in the MBR, demand a lot more--a bad mix when I'm on Deadline.
Thanks to Bandwith's ability to plan road trips, we did manage to see Bill Mayer at the Ryman last Saturday night. And this Thursday, Mr. Tom will be hanging the old shelf (still up in the air about painting it--I'm 90% sure I will leave it alone)
in the laundry room
A closer look at the wallpaper.
See you on Foodie Friday. I will definitely be doing something storebought and high-carb.

Phoenix-Talent School Board Supports Keeping District Name The Same
The Phoenix-Talent school board is weighing in on the possibility of changing the district's name. In a press release issued Monday morning, the board is supporting the idea of keeping the current name. The names proposed as alternatives to the current name are Rogue South Schools, South Valley Schools, South Rogue Valley Schools, and South Rogue Schools.
The Phoenix- Talent School District is losing over 50 students to the Ashland School District as the latter has elected to accept open enrollment. One thought behind the name change is the idea of the district being more inclusive of the multiple communities within the district boundaries. According to the press release, the school board maintains that retaining the present Phoenix- Talent name has always been an option.
Board Chair Craig Prewitt says the board recognizes the passionate response received from the community, including alumni and current students. Prewitt describes an "enormous" response. According to a Medford Mail Tribune article, one Phoenix High graduate had gathered nearly a thousand signatures on a petition asking the school board to abandon consideration the name change.
Votes had been scheduled to take place at Phoenix High School on Wednesday the 16th and at Talent Middle School on Thursday the 17th.

My brother shot his first deer this past season and I was given quit a bit of meat. Butterflied steaks, loin, and ground up. I have made the ground into burgers (awesome), used it instead of hamburger in hamburger helper dinners and chili. What are some good recipes for the steaks though. I have grilled them plain and liked them, just looking for some other ideas you all like.

couple ways we like the steaks. I like to marinate them with 1/2 cup olive oil, couple tablespoons brown sugar and some teriyaki sauce not a lot for about half hour throw on a hot grill cook till med rare. You can also put a small piece of beef fat on the grill to maker it smoke. not a lot about an inch sqare piece cut in two.
For the loins pound them flat dip in milk and egg then put some seasoned bread crumps on them. Push them right into them so they stick and fry in olive oil. Pieces should be about a 1/4 inch thick when starting.

I like venison steaks seasoned with salt, pepper, or sometimes spicy. Then grilled over a real fire or a charcoal grill. For some reason I find venison tastes much better when cooked over real flames.

I took about every veggie I had (cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, onion, leeks, zucchini, green pepper...), cut them into small pieces, added water, beef broth, tomato paste, sherry, rosemary, salt pepper, etc. and cooked in a large cooker overnight on low, with about four pounds of cubed deer steak.
It is insane. You will love it. Freezes good, and great leftovers. Have it with homemade bread or corn muffins.

I make sure to cut the sinew off so the meat isn't so tough. Then I let it soak in orange juice. The acids in it will break down some of that toughness... Then add the marinade of my liking to it. I usually use a worshershire based marinade.

Sony Computer Entertainment has already confirmed that it had started development of its next-generation PlayStation 4 video game console, but the company now also said recently that it would not discuss peculiarities of the system for some time. Nonetheless, game developers believe that the PS4 is not too far away.
"PlayStation 3 is really just hitting its stride. Technologically, I don't think it's possible to provide any advancement beyond what we have. What we've seen from the competition is trying to add features that already exist in PlayStation 3. We invested heavily in that, we rolled a very heavy rock up a steep hill, through the launch period. But now I think that all pays off, and we've got a long run way behind it. So, I wouldn't look for any discussion of a next generation PlayStation for quite some time," said Jack Tretton, chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment America, in an interview with Forbes.
Sony officially confirmed the development of the PS4, but said that it would not spend the same amount of money on development of the next-gen console as it spent on the PlayStation 3.
Interestingly, but game developers already said that they expect the PlayStation 4 and/or third-generation Xbox to emerge by 2014.
"We obviously talk to everybody, and everybody talks to us. We have some intelligence to go on that, by early 2014, we're pretty sure there'll be at least one next-generation console on the market," said David Grijns, newly appointed managing director of Avalanche Studios. in an interview with Edge Magazine.
Even though there are expectations that neither Microsoft nor SCE keep to their ten years product cycles for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, specifics about the next-gen consoles are not available at this point. It is logical to expect better looking games, stereo-3D support, motion sensing in different kinds of applications and so on. However, it remains to be seen what new gameplay-related features will designers implement for the games of the next decade.

i found a sample tin of Adagio Sencha Premier a few days ago at work. I didn't care for it so I set it aside to move on to better things. . . Found it cleaning off the shelf and I was so surprised that it's still pretty good! I can't believe i hated it just 12 months ago . . . what was I thinking?
I know Pu Ehr needs to age and can get better. However, with green tea, fresher is better. Right?
I would never throw away tea anyway.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We've had a nice stay at the studio from Salvatore. Everything was really close by foot. When we had rain, the studio was spacious enough to comfortably rest an afternoon indoors. If we'd stay another weekend in Nice, we probably would come to the same apartment.
Very smal, but well equiped and clean appartement in the best part of Nice. Excellent service from host Salvatore! Daphne, Amsterdam
A Very nice stay, nice city.The bed was completely demolished, the slats was broken, so were Sleeps null.Salvatore was eager to find a new stick, he also has made but we did not fit as we return to 2 nights should return to the old studio. Nevertheless, we continue to recommend it.
Ein Sehr schönes Aufenthalt,schöne Stadt.Das Bett war komplett demoliert, das Lattenrost war kaputt,also die Schlafmöglichkeiten waren null.Salvatore war sehr bemüht uns eine neue bleibe zu finden ,hat er auch gemacht,hat uns aber nicht gepasst da wir wieder nach 2 Nächten zurück in das alte Studio kehren sollten.
Trotzdem empfehlen wir es weiter.
The apartment was small but clean. The nights were noisy. The road noise was all night. But I would go with the kids back to this apartment. Marietta
Die Wohnung war klein aber sauber. Die Nächte waren laut. Der Strassenlärm war die ganze Nacht.
Doch ich würde mit den Kindern wieder in diese Wohnung.
Salvatore was extremely friendly. Just booking one day in advance he was able to make a perfect hand over the next day. really flexible.
The flat and its location is perfect. I can not imagine a better location.
thank you
Small, very nice and clean.. Very helpsome host - reliable and very well located little flat close to the sea.. All in all - just as I expected it to be..
Nice Studio with all necessary equipements , in the middle of the city. A lot of restaurants are situated all arround and the beach is only 10 min away.
Salvatore is very sympatic and helpful.
We are not happy with this accommadition because of below reasons:
1- We planned to meet with him at 5 p.m. But because of traffic, we couldn´t be on time. Then he called us 3 times and send 2 sms. We´ve already informed him that we are on the way. And we tried to find the right way, but our navigation couldn´t find the address. Then we called him and requested that he can pick up us from where we are. We were just 300 meters far away. But he said that he doesn´t know where we are and didn´t come. We couldn´t find any place for parking. Anyhow, we found the right address. He just gave us the key and went. He didn´t advise us any information about the city. During 3 days, he didn´t call us.
2- The bed which was at the downstairs was broken. We couldn´t sleep well during 3 nights. He didn´t show us how we can open it. We had difficulty to open and close it. Also we couldn´t sleep because of the noise outside.
3- He gave us the wrong internet access port. So, we couldn´t use internet.
As a summary, it was not a good accommadition
Nice is a beautiful city. Well worth a stay in any case. Especially the really worth seeing and experiencing old town gives the city its own special charm. Salvatore is a nice and pleasant host. The whole experience was totally uncomplicated and easy. His apartment is very centrally located, the city center with shopping facilities, tram and train station are within a few minutes. Nevertheless, it is very quiet, so you can sleep well at night. The apartment is nicely decorated and the space is utilized optimally. We were together and it was perfectly adequate, especially because one is always a little in the house. Conclusion: a very good value for money ratio.
Nizza ist eine wunderschöne Stadt. Ein Aufenthalt lohnt sich auf alle Fälle. Gerade die wirklich sehenswerte und erlebenswerte Altstadt verleiht der Stadt ihren ganz besonderen Charme.
Salvatore ist ein netter und angenehmer Gastgeber. Der ganze Aufenthalt war total unkompliziert und locker. Sein Appartement liegt sehr zentral, die Innenstadt mit Shoppingmöglichkeiten sowie Tram und Bahnhof sind in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Trotzdem ist es sehr ruhig, so dass man nachts gut schlafen kann. Das Appartement ist nett eingerichtet und der Platz wird optimal ausgenutzt. Wir waren zu zweit und es war vollkommen ausreichend, vor allem weil man ja eh wenig in der Wohnung ist. Fazit: ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis-Verhältnis.
Thank you! Super nice host. Modern and well equipped accommodation.

60-year-old man fatally shot in Moses Lake
SPOKANE - The Grant County Sheriff's Office is investigating the fatal shooting of a 60-year-old Moses Lake man.
Deputies received a call Saturday night around 9:30 of an assault in the 7700 block of Clink Street. The man was found in the home and was shot once, though deputies did not say where he was shot.
He was transported to Samaritan Hospital where he died a short time later. Sheriff's spokesman Kyle Foreman could not say yet why the man was shot or if they have any suspects.60-year-old man fatally shot in Moses Lake
Deputies don't believe this was a random shooting. Detectives were at the house overnight into Sunday and cleared the scene around 9:30 a.m.
The victim's landlord Agnes Lopez was on her front porch about one block away when the shooting happened.
"We heard a great big bang, just a terrible bang," Lopez said.
Lopez has rented out the home where the man was shot for 40 years.
"It was scary because we haven't had anything like that around here," she said.
Lopez says the man lived there for two years with his girlfriend. Deputies say that woman was questioned at the scene, and is not considered a suspect right now.
Lopez says the victim was a retired mechanic who would often work on his cars in the front yard.
The man's name will be released once an autopsy is completed, and his family is notified. Deputies ask if you have any information on this shooting to please call them at 509-762-1160.

1. I've been in love with aviation since I was six. And growing up as the daughter of a non-flying Air Force officer, I had access to aviation that many African-Americans of my generation didn't have. Even before coming to AOPA, I worked to make aviation more diverse, which is why my Oct. 1 story on Delaware State University, a historically black college and university based in Dover, is a special favorite. The university, which traces its aviation training roots back to the Tuskegee Airman in World War II, has officially been training aviation professionals in its flight program since 1987. It is also the only HBCU aviation program that owns and operates its own aircraft fleet. Only about two percent of professional pilots in the United States are African-American, said Capt. Stephen Speed, the school's aviation program director.
2. AOPA member Will Davis discussed how he was able to continue his flight lessons after a video of him clipping an SUV as he was landing during his first cross country solo went viral worldwide. Despite that, he got his certificate on Feb. 2, as I wrote back on Feb. 27. I heard from him recently, and he said that he tries to fly at least once a month, with plans to fly more when he gets the time. He also thanked everyone for their encouragement and support during that difficult time and after.
3. Talk about inspiration – a father inspired his daughter to go through a second harrowing liver transplant by promising to buy her the airplane of her dreams after she made it through the surgery and recovery. Thirty-year-old Julie DeStefano comes from a family of pilots, including herself, her brother and her father, Dennis, who both own aircraft, as I reported in my March 27 story. Dennis recently reported that Julie send him and her mother on several reconnaissance missions to Monte Vista and Alamosa, Colo., and Taos, N.M., to look at potential tail draggers, to no avail. "Then in May she located her dream plane in Knox County, Ohio. On June 14 I flew her there to take delivery of N7679E, a really clean 1958 Champion Model 7FC," he said.
4. On Aug. 12, I wrote about 20-year-old Jennifer Guetterman, who won a free trip to France and participated as the only American among 75 racers in the Tour Aérien Des Jeunes Pilotes, which ran July 15-28. The event was created to motivate the next generation of pilots and promote general aviation to the public, and Guetterman's trip was funded by AOPA, the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations, and the Fédération Française Aéronautique. Since the tour, she said, she has continued to teach Ground School at AFI Flight Training Center at Fullerton Airport. "I am one semester away from my Associate of Science, Commercial Pilot degree at Cypress College and my Instrument Rating check ride should be in January," she said. "I have kept in touch with my French pilot friends and plan on returning to France to visit during the next tour."
5. Sixteen years to the day after getting his student pilot license, Glen Wenzel, recipient of the Erral Lea Plymate Memorial flight training scholarship in 2012, passed his checkride and got his private pilot certificate on July 31. My story was published on Aug. 8. He is a career firefighter in Winston-Salem, N.C. His father was a pilot, and he has been around aviation his whole life, taking his first flight at age four. An AOPA member since 2010, Wenzel said that learning to fly has been a lifelong goal. After his father died in a helicopter accident, Wenzel inherited his Cessna 150. "That made it easier to do my training, despite the unfortunate circumstances," he said. "Inheriting his plane made it even more important to finish my flight training." Since then, he said he's been trying to do as much flying as he can. "I'm going to try to get my instrument license next year some time. I've mostly been flying out to the beach and up to Jersey to see family," said Wenzel. "Hopefully next year will bring an instrument and maybe a commercial ticket."
6. Seven employees at Woodinville, Wash.-based Dynon Avionics who formed the Swamp Creek Flying Club, including CEO Robert Hamilton, built a Glasair Sportsman under its Two Weeks To Taxi program for their club aircraft. I covered the story on April 1. Kirk Kleinholz, a CFII sales manager for Dynon and a club member, says the original members are still in the club, and that the aircraft has been performing well. Two members flew it to AirVenture this year and parked it with other GlassAirs. "We also use it to visit Dynon's business partners, and it was on display at the Golden West Fly-In," he said. "It's truly been a thrill to have our own aircraft."

My most memorable moments in my life have been because of club soccer. I started club soccer when I was around 10 years old and have loved every minute of it ever since then. I was opened up to a world of opportunities when one club coach put in a little bit of faith into me becoming a more skillful player and with the support of my loving father I was given the chance to make something of myself. I've worked hard both on and off the field to be where I am today.
Over many years I have been taught various things by different coaches. I always questioned as to why I had to get a new coach every year but I finally figured out that every coach has a different view on how the wonderful sport of fútbol should be played. I agreed with some and disagreed with some but nevertheless I always learned something new from every coach that I played for. They not only helped me become a better soccer player but a better individual by inspiring me to always push myself to the next level to do better.
My teammates even had a helping hand with me pushing myself to become the best I could be. With all the interaction between training and games you begin to create great friendships between one another. All my best buddies that I have I met through club soccer and I am so thankful to have the friends that I have. They have always been there for me, through both good and rough times.
One of the most important things competitive soccer has taught me is how to both win and lose. I have learned that you can not win every game. Even though you would like to, it just will not happen. You win some you lose some; that is how it goes. In order to win, you first must learn how to lose. When you lose, you always ask yourself "What did I do wrong?" then you learn how to fix the mistakes that you made so that way you do not make the same mistakes the following game. With that same mentality, I applied it to my life and it worked.
Playing competitive soccer has greatly influenced my life in a positive way. I am very thankful for all the support that I have had from all the families, coaches, and friends to help me succeed in playing for such a wonderful club like Idaho Rush.

When Lars von Trier announced his next film would be a sweeping, sexually explicit opus chronicling the life of a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, I thought, "Hmm. Well, that makes sense."
Though an uncut version of "Nymphomaniac" boasts a 5 1/2-hour length — no word on the film's girth — American audiences get a softer version, split into two parts, the first of which opens at the Gateway this weekend.
"Nymphomaniac" is the third film of von Trier's loose "Depression Trilogy." The first film, 2009's "Antichrist," I declared the "worst first-date movie ever." The second film, "Melancholia," I named my top movie of 2011.
The first thing you have to ask is whether you are down with the bleakness of a von Trier film. When we meet the film's subject, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), she is discovered beaten and bruised in an alley by an old bachelor (Stellan Skarsgard). This may be a new time record for savaging a female lead, even for von Trier.
As Joe returns to the man's apartment to nurse her wounds, she recounts her sexual history from adolescence. "I'll have to tell you the whole story," she says, "And it'll be long."
With the ambition of "Nymphomaniac," it's hard to judge its first half on its own merits. Joe's stories are presented as an anthology (with Stacy Martin playing Young Joe for most of this film), and those stories are uneven, especially without seeing the full picture.
Joe's self-loathing is nothing new for a von Trier character — it's not even something new for a von Trier character played by three-timer Gainsbourg — but these depths have never so deeply been traced to their sources.
Von Trier has a long history with a perception of misogyny in his works, but Joe uses her sexuality to control men. The question is whether her sexuality controls her.
You expect the bleakness and the graphic sex (which is anything but titillating for those expecting porn). What you don't expect are moments of, what's that? Humor? A sequence with Uma Thurman as a cheated-on wife is a hilarious exercise in black comedy. With a little grief, because von Trier.
We'll only have to wait a couple of weeks for the theatrical release of "Vol. 2," and the whole piece will come into focus then. For now, it's an uneven but challenging sexual symphony.

Cashless Pa. turnpike?
Soon, you may be able to leave the cash at home when using the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced, Tuesday, it will continue pursuing a potential conversion to a cashless, All-Electronic Toll (AET) collection system.
That means no more stopping to pay the tolls.
"If it works, it's fine," said Joe Roe from Bristol Pennsylvania.
The cashless system would allow traffic to flow more freely and reduce travel time, said commission officials.
Some truck drivers who use the turnpike for work applaud the move.
"It's a lot better, quicker, and especially if you have a time limit that you have to get from one place to another," said Salem Bourreza, a driver for Excide Technologies.
"A nice option would be to either use cash or a credit card, if you chose, but it gives you more of an option and more of a choice," said David Stewart from Harrisburg.
Currently, EZ-Pass customers pay about 17% less. But some drivers said they are less concerned about money, and more concerned about privacy.
That's because if you don't have EZ-Pass, your license plate would be photographed, and you would receive a bill in the mail.
"In my opinion, it's like stalking," said Alexandria Boone from Carlisle.
"It sounds like government intruding in on my life," said Karen Eardly from Elizabethtown.
Some drivers said the option of waiting for the bill in the mail would cause a cash flow problem.
"I need to be able to turn my receipts in to my boss everyday so that I get reimbursed weekly," said Joe Wagenmann from Warminster.
"I just prefer to pay cash as I go. Without being forced to purchase EZ-Pass, without getting a bill in the mail that I have to pay after the fact," said Cheryl Krouse from East Norriton Township.
Conversion to an AET, under any set of circumstances, could take at least five years, said turnpike officials.
"All-Electronic Tolling is a significant trend in our industry that a number of other agencies have implemented or are considering, and it is important that we thoroughly study such a possible conversion", said Turnpike CEO Roger Nutt.
AET has already been implemented in several countries, and in several states like, Texas, Florida, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, and North Carolina, officials said.

'We Would Be Delighted To Help You And Your Son'
To The Reader's Forum:
Earlier this week, a parent expressed concern for her child and the services they were receiving in the local public school system. While we have a number of children on the autism spectrum in our school district, this particular child attends a neighboring district. We, at Randolph Central, would welcome this child into our school and assist him both academically and socially to attain his fullest potential. Having a diagnosed spectrum disorder, in and of itself, qualifies him for special education services because almost all children on the spectrum have difficulty with language, social cues and understanding the "neurotypical" world. Please call us. We would be delighted to assist you and your son.
Dr. Mary Rockey, BCBA
Director of Pupil Services
Randolph Central School

John,If you look at my Reply at 24 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25618.msg258606.html#msg258606 you can see that Joe Kelley said to pass his cell number along to any of the forum members that are interested in trying this product. I know of one other forum member that Joe sent the new GM flour to. I don't know if Joe's offer still stands or not, but it wouldn't hurt to give him a call.Norma
Norma,Thanks for that! Yesterday I emailed the rep for N+S Carolina and told her I didn't own a restaurant but that I baked NP and was very interested in trying the product. She emailed me back within a minute and told me a sample is on the way! It was almost as good as that State Farm ad where those guys are sitting in their living room and they snap their fingers and a hot tub magically appears I the living room!I'll let you guys know if I receive the generously sized "samples" that others have. Today I am going to email the Pappy Van Winkle rep and see if I can get a "sample" of the 15 year bourbon. John K
I am VERY impressed with this flour. I would say that for all intents and purposes, it is the functional equal of Caputo Pizzeria.
Hi Norma, is this the same flour that Craig tested last night?was very nice to meet you. I am sorry I could not make it today.thanksnico
is this the same flour that Craig tested last night?nico
Thanks Peter, was very nice to meet you last weekend. I assumed it was. I already asked the rep for a sample, I hope they send me one.nico
Does anyone know where they sell Gold Medal Neapolitan Flour in Southern California?
nico,It was also nice to meet you. And I wish you the best with your new WFO and your plans to exploit it in the South Texas region.Peter
I would not be surprised if Caputo was supplying this flour to GF.
Whoo! I just heard from the Sr. Territory Mgr of GM in my area, she is going to ship me a bag! Anyone else in the Baltimore / MD area, here is her contact info:Shotsie Wilson- General MillsSr. Territory Manager0: 301-829-8128 f: 301-829-8129 NP experiments on my LBE coming soon, I'm really excited!

Thanks again Norma for bringing this flour to my attention and leading to me putting a sample bag through the wringer. After reading the beginnings of this post I promptly got a bag. I proceeded to do a side by side test including baking in a Ferrara. The GM seems indistinguishable from Caputo. During dough making, balling, stretching and baking, I and the pizza eaters around me couldn't distinguish between the two doughs. It may have been my imagination, but I thought the GM smelled better when cracking open the cornice. I posted some poor quality pics for those that might be interested in the flours next to each other, balled dough and cooked pies (just the GM).
...I mixed the second batch, but didn't get finished with that batch until 4:00 AM this morning. Hopefully that batch is okay. Norma
you must be really excited! Thanks again for posting your initial test and helping us get our hands on some.

In June 1968, Ulster Unionist Party employee Emily Beattie was allocated a council house in Caledon, Co. Tyrone. She was a 19-year-old single woman and could not be described as a "priority tenant" and was given the house ahead of older married Catholic families with children.
Austin Currie, Nationalist MP for East Tyrone and founder of the SDLP two years later, was one of those who occupied the house in protest before being removed by a policeman (who happened to be Miss Beattie's brother).
A protest meeting by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) followed in Dungannon on 22nd June. NICRA and the Campaign for Social Justice organised a march from Coalisland to Dungannon on 24th August. Loyalists held a counter-demonstration at the entrance to Dungannon, and the police prevented the civil rights marchers from entering the town.
Another march in Derry was arranged for 5th October 1968, but was banned by the Unionist Stormont government. The march went ahead and included Gerry Fitt and three other Westminster MPs, as well as a number of Stormont MPs.
In Duke Street the police advanced on the marchers and struck them with batons. They used water cannon to spray peaceful marchers, spectators and television crews.
Radio Telefis Éireann cameraman Gay O'Brien filmed protesters including Gerry Fitt being beaten by RUC men- the images were beamed across the world. Pictures of police attacking unarmed demonstrators horrified viewers, many of whom may have been unaware of the situation in the north.
On 9th October two-thousand students from Queen's tried to march to Belfast City Hall to protest against the police brutality in Derry. The march was blocked by a counter demonstration led by Ian Paisley. A peaceful three-hour sit-down demonstration followed the blocking of the march.
On the same day, the Derry Citizen's Action Committee (DCAC) was formed from five protest organisations which had been active in the area. Future SDLP founders Ivan Cooper and John Hume were the first chairman and first vice-chairman respectively of the DCAC.
Never again would things be the same. Never again would nationalists let themselves be forced into a corner by the elective dictatorship of the Unionist Stormont Regime and their unaccountable militias.

The point is, often you criticise the SDLP for wanting to include Sinn Féin in the democratic process. You argue that the SDLP should go into an Assembly as a minority with the UUP and DUP.
It is the memory of events such as these which remind nationalists that they can never agree to let unionists dominate in such a way again.
As regards the 'MOPEry' the essence of the post is what civil rights activists did to begin change in NI.
- 14 January, 2006 17:06
No, definitely not a Man Ure fan.
Do you see Sinn Fein as 'on your side' or something?...despite their record over the decades, right up to the present day, it appears sdlp will stand with them as some counterweight to the other side of the fence.
Surely any claims to be anything less than a sectarian party go out the wondow with this attitude?

"despite their record over the decades"
Although I may happen to agree, is this not a similar performance of MOPEry on your part?
- 14 January, 2006 23:21
How could that even remotely be called MOPE-ery?...all sections of our community suffered at the hands of Sinn fein, not just the Prods!

We get criticised by the provos for being anti-SF. We get criticised by the unionists for being pro-SF.
It's great craic altogether ;)

Good post. The pictures described really brought home to the world just how serious unionist discrimination was and what a dismal failure the NI state had been.

Omnivore. Not quite an everything-vore because There are some things that I don't like (e.g. bitter things), and some that I try to avoid (overly processed stuff that just doesn't taste very good.
Today started with Xi Hu Long Jing from Norbu, infused cooler after a hot wake-up" infusion with beautiful results--something I read about in one of the recent threads on dragonwell/long Jing, and tried for the first time a few days back. Melon, peas, flowers, more of the flavors I crave in a green tea and less of the nutty/toasty notes.
Later in the day, huang jIn gui brewed cold, quite tasty.

Hello, i'm from Italy and i'm sorry for my bad english
I bought an Anthem and a para DI one year ago an i installed them on my guitar.
They are fantastic, but....
1 on my Anthem the volume adjustment is very "short": turning very little the knob, volume goes by 0 to maximum and is useless turning more.
Can you help me for this?
2 On para DI for some times also with knob of "Output" turned to 0 when I plugged on unplugged the jack into the input you hear on the speakers the insertion noise and the speakers are not happy for this.
at the beginning he did not.....What could have happened?
sorry again for my bad English...I think you will get the big laughs reading my post (I plenty used google translator )
Thank you for Help,

Discover Hiking in Rochester
As someone who wants to know everything there is to know about Rochester, I am delightfully surprised every so often when people invite me to explore unique places that I have never been to before myself.
The most recent of these "wow – I can't believe I didn't know this was here" moments was not simply one location, but instead dozens of hiking trails all over Monroe County and slightly beyond.
In the past I had stumbled upon a handful of the more accessible locations (Washington Grove at Cobbs Hill, Genesee River Trail,…), so I knew there were some trails around town, but the enormous quantity of hiking terrain so close to downtown was still a surprise. I've hiked the Adirondacks and the southern tier, but I was completely unaware that we have so many quality hiking trails right here within the greater Rochester area.
So I had to share.
For those who are unfamiliar with hiking, it is one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. It's good exercise, but (usually) not crazy; you're surrounded by nature and fresh air; you get a chance to catch up with good friends and meet new ones; and its (usually) absolutely free. It can be a great after-work activity to break up a seemingly endless work week, or a great substitute for a Sunday afternoon matinée movie.
Either way, hiking exposes you to a part of Rochester that many never see, and leaves you with a refreshed sense of normalcy. Particularly with the current events that consume the news hour these days, hiking serves as a welcome reminder that the entire world is not just one big problem.
So go out and explore some hiking trails for yourself; all you need to know can be found on RochesterTrails.info, Trails.com, or in the book Take a Hike: Family Walks in the Rochester, NY Area, by Rich and Sue Freeman.
In addition, if you're looking to meet new people who enjoy being active and discovering Rochester in other fun ways, be sure to come to the next Rochester Young Professionals event!

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (203 votes).
In short: Chilly 'n' hillyIn full: The start was a surprise, we were caught chatting and felt sorry for the people still queueing for the loos. There seemed to be quite a few, but the queue never appeared to go down!..Chilly run, but it is still December, but at least it kept dry for the first hour. I also felt sorry for the back markers, as the temperature appeared to drop and it began to rain.The course IS hilly, so slowed me up a little, but the down slopes were fun and I managed a 5 minute mile coming down towards half way, so was a welcome relief.All in all good marshaling, baggage drop, and chip timing, but rubbish plastic bag with 'those' leaflets and no snacks. The mug is OK though, but could have been special for the big 50th anniversay, but really was not. Got a PB though.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: All very good apart from water running out, over 8 miles that is poor....Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Shame about the toilets and water running out!In full: Could have done with more toilets as the wait was nearly 20 minutes. Also, it was not really good enough that they had run out of water at the only water station on the course. Would have preferred a medal (especially as I droppped the carrier bag that the mug was in when running back to my car in the rain and broke the mug!!!!). Also a banana/cereal bar is always appreciatedDate of review: December 13, 2009
In short: special for unusual distance and great finish,also heritage now !Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: 5th time for me, always fun, be back next yearIn full: Like No 1 comment, shame about no medals, but I'm not that worried. More worrying was water station running out, but as usual a good fun winter race. Good that entry fees benefitted CHASE.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: A nice little race. 'Goody bag' very poor.In full: My best Hogs Back to date. Knocked 6 minutes off last year. Being able to leave your bags at the start and collecting them at the finish is excellent. Thanks to all involved. However at the last two Hogs Back's I completed we received a small medal. This year we it was a plastic bag containing some advertising paperwork and a coffee mug. Personally I would prefer the medal but I am sure others will not mind. I'm still up for 2010. Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Glad the hill was at the start, shame there wasn't ant water for the slower runners, we were desperate at the top of the climb! But good fun anywayDate of review: December 13, 2009
In short: I love this raceIn full: Challenging, well run, great scenery and on my home turf. The weather turned nasty after I finished (1h4) but I hope everyone got back OK. Thanks to GGAC for another well-run race.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Excellent organisation and very friendly, but large parts of run on busy roads not very inspiring. Still very glad I ran it!Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Very well-organized, as alwaysIn full: The view from the top of the Hog's Back makes the slog up it worthwhile. Plenty of helpful marshalls, and I was impressed at the slick manner in which the numbers and chips were given out. Also, keeping the finished runners and their supporters from jamming up the finish for the slower ones was a great idea. One small gripe. 8 portaloos? Like several others, I slunk off into the industrial estate, (a bit of a shortage of bushes) and am probably now providing the Christmas entertainment on the CCTV.Date of review: December 13, 2009

Buying FSBO
Buying a home directly from the owner has many advantages, not the least of which is saving money. The seller has priced the home more competitively by eliminating some or all of the real estate commission that is normally built into a sales price. The purchaser of a FSBO home also has the advantage of working directly with the seller, which means the FSBO purchaser has the opportunity to find out more about the home.
Please use the site index to the left to learn more about how to prepare to buy a home directly from the owner, as well as find out about services that may be available in your area.

Topic: Forum performance issues, Kinda urgent
Since this forum hit the 100,000 post mark I have noticed a remarkable performance degredation.
Often taking over a minuite to view a post and sometimes not getting in at all.
Today I got a database error with too many connections.
It seems that this forum is becoming more and more popular and something needs to be done to sort this out before it becomes a major issue.
I'm not suggesting that the 100,000 posts itself is causing the problem I'm merely offering this as a time scale reference.
If there are issues over hosting costs, bandwidth etc... then I'm sure that you would get offers of help from members if asked.
When your head is hurting from trying to solve a problem, stop standing on it. When you are the right way up you will see the problem differently and you just might find the solution.

Long hairstyle with curly ends parted to one side
A deep, lovely shade of garnet makes this straight, long, hair an eye-catcher. The bottom half of the entire length has been set in medium-sized curls, creating lots of volume and body. A shallow side-part gives height to the hair that is brushed over the forehead. The other side is tucked behind the ear, then the whole is brushed forward over the opposite shoulder. The milky white skin of the face, neck and shoulders is perfectly complemented by the richness of the garnet.

Pricey but Worth it!
Comment:Little high on the cost (best price I've found anywhere was on this site) but we'll worth it & will pay for itself in no time. Considerably less dust (almost none) & huge gain on area of work that can be done compared to a hand sander or pole.Skipp1977Kansas

Solid fats vs. oils— published: 01-24-2013
Solid fats are solid at room temperature, come mainly from animal products, and are high in saturated or trans fats. Examples are butter, milk fat, cream, stick margarine, shortening, and beef, chicken, and pork fat. Some saturated fats increase blood cholesterol levels in the body. Oils are liquid at room temperature, and come from many different plants, and are good sources of heart healthy unsaturated fats. Examples are olive oil, canola oil, safflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and peanut oil. Coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil are high in saturated fats and are considered solid fats. When using fats, replacing solid fats with unsaturated oils will provide essential nutrients to the diet and help lower blood cholesterol levels. Read about food preparation to promote health for more information.

If you're rolling your grocery cart around the store perimeter and the winter-fresh fruits and veggies seem too lackluster or weird-looking (what is a rutabaga anyway?) to cook up every day, stop and roll back for a second look
If you're rolling your grocery cart around the store perimeter and the winter-fresh fruits and veggies seem too lackluster or weird-looking (what is a rutabaga anyway?) to cook up every day, stop and roll back for a second look. Some of the biggest seasonal bargains in the produce aisle (like avocados, pomegranates, root veggies — that's turnip, parsnip and yes, rutabaga — and all that citrus) pack major flavor and a major health wallop. So here are some easy tips for enjoying these winter gems more often.
Do more than dip into avocado
If you're saving your avocados for Friday-night guacamole, you're missing some of this fruit's best assets. In addition to boosting satisfaction by increasing levels of hormones called incretins that put the brakes on your appetite and slow digestion, munching half of one with your lunch can cut your craving for an afternoon snack by a whopping 40 percent. Plus, avocados can help you boost your omega-3 intake, reduce levels of bad LDL cholesterol, bolster good HDLs and cut your risk for diabetes, stroke and heart disease.
Easy eating: Slice a ripe avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit and scoop out the soft fruit with a spoon. Slice or chunk into salads, soups and stews, and sandwiches. Use it mashed in place of mayo.
Nutrition trick: To make sure you get the dark-green flesh closest to the skin (it contains the highest levels of beneficial carotenoids, which feed your body's cell-protecting polyphenol system) slice the avocado in half lengthwise. Take out the seed and slice it in half again. Peel the skin off with your thumb to preserve more of the dark green-yumminess.
Grab a grapefruit
This tart citrus is rich in immune-boosting vitamin C, along with cancer-preventing lycopene (in the pink types) and naringenin, which may help lower bad LDL cholesterol levels. However, grapefruit and its juice can interfere with your intestinal wall's ability to process many medications, and that's risky. So make sure you check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it conflicts with your meds before eating grapefruit. If it does, grab an orange instead!
Easy eating: Grapefruit is almost as easy to peel as an orange, making it the perfect take-along fruit. You can use peeled sections in fruit salad, salsas and delicious green salads paired with spinach and avocado.
Nutrition trick: Pair grapefruit sections and dark chocolate. Quercetin in citrus plus catechins in chocolate work together to discourage blood clotting.
Peel a pomegranate
You've probably heard that pomegranate juice may boost heart health by discouraging the buildup of plaque in arteries, and may help discourage cancers of the prostate and breast. What's behind those potential benefits? A host of 122 beneficial compounds in the red juice that surrounds each little pomegranate seed.
Easy eating: Wondering how to "break in" to that beautiful pomegranate you just purchased without making a mess? Cut off the top, cut the fruit into sections, and place in a bowl of cool water. Use your fingers to gently pull out the juice-filled seed sacs, then strain. Use in fruit salads, or eat them plain!
Nutrition trick: Eating pomegranate as a fruit, rather than juice, means you get the heart-healthy omega-5 fatty acids found in the seeds.
Take a chance on turnips, rutabagas and parsnips
Turnips and rutabagas are cruciferous veggies, great sources of the same cancer-fighting compounds, called glucosinolates, found in broccoli, cabbage, watercress, arugula and kale. Pale, thin, long parsnips are closely related to carrots, and pack a good dose of vitamin C and potassium — important for heart health and perhaps immune strength.
Easy eating: Treat'em like taters. Peel turnips and roast with sweet potatoes. Or steam peeled, cubed rutabagas or parsnips, then mash.
Nutrition trick: Make baked "oven fries" with peeled, sliced rutabagas or parsnips instead of potatoes. Season with garlic and rosemary or your own favorite spice combo.

Eyeshadow Tape Trick
On thursday night/restaurant date night with the BF I was inspired to try a new makeup trick that I saw on specktra. One of the lovely ladies named GlamYOURus did a Kim Kardashian look with a twist. She did a great job, totally inspring.
The thing that made this look hot was the angles of the eyeshadow. She picked up a tip where you take tape and place it on the eyes to create an extremely angle. You shadow within the tape and then peel if off when you're done. Afterwards you get an extremely defined outer V. This is a similar method to when people use rectangular stickers or business cards to create an extreme chiseled look when applying blush or bronzer (a fav trick of funky makeup artists and drag queens too!)
You can use any regular scotch tape lying around the house. It's best if it's not TOO sticky because it will hurt more...think of pulling a band-aid off. I used giftwrap tape and it came off easily with no problem. Place one piece of tape at a diagonal from the end of your eyebrow to the corner of your outer eye. I decided to add my own take on the look and add another piece of tape. Take another piece and put it at a 50 degree angle from the top of where your order V would begin and ending a the middle of the eyebrow. Pat it down flat so there are no gaps and bubbles. Just like when you're painting a wall and you place that blue tape along the edges so that it's a smooth line and no paint goes underneath--think the same thing with your eyeshadow. I took a pic so you could see what I mean.
***Please ignore my crazy hair and eyebrows...I jus woke up!
You can also adjust the tape to make any other shapes you want. This is a great tip for halloween if you're creating a mask effect that requires straight lines.
The look I wore on Thursday night is very simple. Oh and just in case you're wondering, I wore my pure hazel freshlook contacts. Personally I love them but my boyfriend hates them. He told me I look like a vampire, lol. But he has an aversion to colored contacts. I personally can't wear them everyday because my vision is hindered with colored contacts...but I just ran out of clear and needed to see with something!
When I went to eat that night, the girl at the restaurant complimented my eyeshadow and immediately asked if it was MAC. LOL, us MAC-addicts are everywhere!
Here's what I used:
All products MAC unless otherwise mentioned:
-bare canvas paint
-carbon e/s
-gesso e/s
-ricepaper e/s
-spiked eyebrow pencil
-N.Y.C glamour lashes
-fluidline in blacktrack
-max factor 2000 calorie mascara
-smolder eye kohl
-mineralized satinfinish natural in medium dark
-select moisture concealer in NW37
-sculpt and shape duo in lightsweep and shadester
-msf warmed
-bonus beat lipglass
-lipstick in 4N

Silly me, I thought you gotta use the tape trick AFTER you applied your eye makeup LOL.
Anyway, I posted pictures from the Eye Candy book and the inpired look I had on yesterday :). I'm crazy with eye shadows like you so I really think you will find the book extremely helpful. :)

You look great! I've been wanting to try that tape trick for so long but have never gotten around to it. I like how you took it to another step by adding the other strip of tape :)

In short: Bigger and better every yearIn full: Another excellent start to the year, the race has expanded to a field of 2,000 without losing any of the things that make it a great race. Still feels like a friendly little race.Date of review: January 23, 2012

In short: Brilliant race - great organisation and lovely route In full: Great route - nice balance of challenge and fun. Wind was tough this year, but still beat my best for this course. Organisation was brilliant, and a big thanks must go to the marshalls, who had to put up with the wind and rain in parts, but still kept smiling! Great race organised by, and supported by the local community. Thanks.Date of review: January 23, 2012
In short: a great race made average by plastic cupsIn full: i thought everything was spot on exept the fact of being given out those stupid cups. pls get bottles next year, i wouldn't mind paying the extra £2. bit to windy to hope for a p.b today but its def a p.b course.nice medal, sports drink n chocolate at finish.Date of review: January 23, 2012

In short: Great race, shame about the wind...Date of review: January 22, 2012
In short: Fairly tough, but well worth itIn full: Very windy and undulating. It's a challenging race, but very satisfying. The climbs aren't too bad, as long as you've kept a bit in reserve and not run flat out. I managed a PB.The marshall's were great - I'm not sure if I'd like to stand in the middle of a road in violent winds for 2 hours being a human cone.The organisation is great, and I really appreciated the support from marshalls and local residents. Can't wait for next year.Date of review: January 22, 2012
