Adaptive phenotypic plasticity, where phenotypes shift in response to changing environmental conditions, is a strategy that maximizes fitness across heterogeneous landscapes (Dudley & Schmitt, 1996; van Tienderen, 1997). Adaptive plasticity can evolve when individuals experience multiple environments during their lifetime (fine-grained temporal variation) (Moran, 1992; Stratton & Bennington, 1998), or if progeny establish in a nonparental habitat (fine-grained spatial variation) (Alpert & Simms, 2002). The evolution of adaptive plasticity hinges on the requirements that individuals can adequately track environmental changes, can overcome the costs of a plastic response and are at a fitness advantage if they alter phenotypes in different habitats or in response to different environmental conditions (Via & Lande, 1985; Moran, 1992; van Tienderen, 1997; DeWitt et al., 1998; Alpert & Simms, 2002; Poulton & Winn, 2002; Sultan & Spencer, 2002). If these criteria are met, a plastic response can be favored in a variable landscape, especially when populations are connected by gene flow (Via & Lande, 1985; van Tienderen, 1997; Scheiner, 1998; Sultan & Spencer, 2002; Hollander, 2008).
In a spatially variable landscape, the evolution and/or maintenance of phenotypic plasticity can be constrained when fitness is significantly lower in one habitat, as is the case when source–sink dynamics regulate population demography. Source–sink dynamics occur when one habitat is substantially more common or more favorable than another, such that reproductive output in one habitat swamps reproductive output in another habitat and gene flow occurs primarily from the source habitat into the sink habitat (Pulliam, 1988). The literature distinguishes between absolute sinks, where no reproduction occurs and the population is maintained solely by immigration, and relative sinks, where reproduction is substantially lower than in the source habitat and the population is supplemented by immigration from the source (e.g. Kawecki, 2008). Theory predicts that selection will favor traits that are advantageous in the higher-quality or larger habitat at the expense of adaptations to the sink habitat, be it an absolute or relative sink; a plastic response is unlikely to evolve if populations in one habitat contribute substantially less to the metapopulation gene pool than populations in an alternative habitat (Holt & Gaines, 1992; Moran, 1992; Kawecki, 1995; Sultan & Spencer, 2002; Ernande & Dieckmann, 2004). Selection for plasticity in a spatially heterogeneous landscape with source–sink dynamics should be minimal because a relatively low proportion of the population experiences the sink habitat; furthermore, genotypes specialized to the source habitat would probably outcompete plastic genotypes if there are inherent costs of plasticity (Dias, 1996; Kawecki, 2008). Alternatively, if the costs of plasticity are negligible, or there is limited genetic variation, plasticity could be maintained as a phylogenetic legacy, even if environmental variation in the source habitat was minimal. At the same time, adaptive plasticity could facilitate range or niche expansion (e.g. Schlichting & Smith, 2002) and enhance establishment and persistence in ecologically marginal habitats.
Empirical studies of source–sink dynamics focus on gene flow, population demography and fitness differences between habitats (e.g. Stanton & Galen, 1997; Caudill, 2003), but phenotypic and behavioral traits of individuals in source and sink populations are rarely quantified (but see Caudill & Peckarsky, 2003). Conversely, studies of phenotypic plasticity in spatially variable environments do not often explicitly examine the effects of habitat frequency, or investigate populations that differ in abundance and fitness in alternate habitats (but see Jurjavcic et al., 2002; Huber et al., 2004; Lind & Johansson, 2007; Saunders et al., 2009; Snell-Rood & Papaj, 2009). Vaccinium elliottii (Ericaceae), a species of highbush blueberry, occurs throughout the southeastern USA in seasonally flooded bottomland forests and xeric upland forests (Radford et al., 1968; Godfrey & Wooten, 1981). In a previous study, we documented limited neutral differentiation between populations of V. elliottii in contrasting upland and bottomland habitats (FST = 0.03, Anderson & Geber, 2010), which in addition to extensive inter- and intra-annual variation in flooding in the bottomland habitat, would appear to promote the evolution of plasticity. However, population size was significantly higher, and naturally recruited adults had over an order of magnitude more reproductive structures (flowers and fruits), in upland forests than in bottomland forests, resulting in a reproductive output more than 50 times higher per unit area in upland, relative to bottomland, forests (Anderson & Geber, 2010). Furthermore, experi-mental individuals transplanted into upland sites had a survivorship 2.5 times higher and growth rates over 1.5 times higher than bottomland transplants (Anderson & Geber, 2010). Larger population sizes, and substantially higher reproductive, viability and growth-rate fitness in upland than bottomland forests, in conjunction with the historically greater area of upland forests, suggest that the vast majority of successful reproduction and establishment occurs in upland sites. Additionally, we detected significantly asymmetrical gene flow via pollen from upland populations into bottomland populations (Anderson & Geber, 2010). These patterns of highly disparate fitness and unbalanced gene flow are consistent with strong demographic source–sink dynamics, with bottomland populations representing a relative sink.
The objective of the current study was to determine whether V. elliottii exhibits fixed phenotypic traits that enhance fitness in upland habitats, as predicted. Alternatively, phenotypic plasticity could be maintained despite demographic source–sink dynamics. Plasticity can either be favored by selection, or be a passive response to environmental variation (e.g. Sultan & Bazzaz, 1993; Dudley & Schmitt, 1996; Dorn et al., 2000; van Kleunen & Fischer, 2005; Caruso et al., 2006; Ghalambor et al., 2007; Kurashige & Callahan, 2007). Passive plasticity can occur when phenotypes are constrained by environmental conditions in one habitat type, in which case plasticity is neutral or even costly; for example, Arabidopsis thaliana had stunted phenotypes in cold temperatures (Kurashige & Callahan, 2007), as did Geranium carolinianum in response to crowding (Bell & Galloway, 2007). Adaptive and passive plasticity have both been documented within species along environmental gradients, as has been shown with light intensity (Sultan & Bazzaz, 1993; Steinger et al., 2003) and water availability (Caruso et al., 2006). In our system, it is crucial to consider whether plasticity is passive or adaptive: adaptive plasticity would contradict predictions from demographic source–sink dynamic models, whereas passive plasticity would not conflict with this body of theory.
To assess phenotypic evolution in an ecologically relevant context, we conducted a multi-year reciprocal transplant experiment in drought-stressed upland forests and flood-prone bottomland forests that vary in water-table depth, light intensity and edaphic characteristics. In a glasshouse experiment, we isolated the effects of flooding and drought to determine whether trait values varied in response to differential water stress. Flooding deprives roots of oxygen and can result in leaf senescence, necrosis and abscission, a reduction in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, and ultimately death (e.g. Blokhina et al., 2003; Mielke et al., 2003; Visser et al., 2003). Flood-adapted species have evolved constitutively expressed and inducible traits that facilitate gas exchange between above-water biomass and roots, including aerenchyma (porous root and shoot tissue, Evans, 2003), hypertrophied lenticels and adventitious, lateral or superficial roots (Fenster, 1997; Benz et al., 2007). Drought is also a severe stress that can inhibit ecophysiological performance and lead to a reduction in turgor pressure and potential xylem cavitation (Warren et al., 2004). Some species exposed to drought have thick leaves with low specific leaf area (SLA) and increased water-use efficiency (WUE) to optimize photosynthesis per unit of water transpired (e.g. Donovan & Ehleringer, 1994; Wright et al., 2002). Additionally, deep taproots can exploit water at depth in dry soils (e.g. Wildy et al., 2004). By contrast, flood-adapted plants tend to maintain shallow root systems to access oxygen at the water–air interface (Baker et al., 2001). Furthermore, porous roots that enhance fitness under flooding are likely to desiccate under dry conditions (Fenster, 1997). As selection probably favors opposing trait values in upland and bottomland forests, we quantified root and foliar traits that influence flood and drought tolerance.
If V. elliottii conforms to predictions of source–sink dynamics, experimental individuals would display canalized flood-intolerant phenotypes, and trait values would be concordant with drought-tolerance. By contrast, if phenotypic plasticity is maintained, individuals would express the phenotype that best matches the environment. Additionally, we would expect plasticity in flood-related traits, notwithstanding the lack of flooding in upland (source) environments. To distinguish between passive and adaptive plasticity, we assessed performance-related traits, such as photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, as well as foliar and root-based traits that are probably under divergent selection.

I bought one from PSA for this price during their Christmas sale. Got it a few days ago. I used my friend's prior to buying one and it has some insane accuracy. The one I got from PSA had a few deep dings on the front of the top picattiny rail. Really not too much of an issue for me because I plan on duracoating it, and I actually havent even had the chance to contact PSA yet. I still say if this deal comes up again jump on it.

That is kind of weird though,
That is kind of weird though, that multiple ones would dinged like that. I assumed mine was an anomaly because I've never ordered from PSA before. Maybe they're all dinged hence the discount? My case looked fine so I have no idea how such an odd area would get damaged unless it occurred at the factory. For anyone who just ordered or will order this gun, check it over very closely BEFORE the FFL paperwork is filled out.

Hah! I had looked at buying one of these right before Newtown from my local dealer. They had wanted $1099.

A Look at the Bell Curve
When it comes to your grades, things are usually fairly absolute up until high school. Even then, few teachers give curved grades. It is not until the college level that curved grading becomes commonplace. But if you've ever turned in a test that you thought you had surely failed, only to see that you passed (and passed by a significant margin), you might be a little confused. Curved grading can take many forms, but the most common is the bell curve.
The bell curve is a method in which the instructor of the class assigns grades on a relative basis, rather than one of absolute value. They do this most often by assigning a bell curve, which is a way in which all grades are accounted for. Interestingly, if a few students score perfectly on the absolute scale, it can create a curve that isn't much different than if the test had been scored in the usual manner. For this reason, many instructors grade their tests on the absolute basis and decide afterward whether to curve based on performance.
How Curving Works
When it comes to the pure use of bell curving, the instructor decides at the outset a number of factors that may seem unfair to the uninitiated. They will assign a grade to the middle of the curve (the highest point, and therefore the most common grade in the classroom), which will usually be a C. They will then assign a certain percentage of students to the high end, and a certain percentage to the low end, with each grade along the way receiving a certain share of the students. Statistically speaking, this method of grading is sound, and usually produces results that are indeed fairer than absolute grading, which fails to take into account any shortcomings on the part of the instructor.
Another Common Method
As many instructors fail to see the fairness in the traditional bell curve system, they use another method that has surpassed bell curving in terms of overall popularity and frequency of use. This method is a bit simpler. The instructor grades all the tests on the absolute grading system. He then takes the highest grade in the class (let's say it was a 93). Seven points separate the highest grade in the class from the highest possible score. The instructor will thus add seven points to everyone's score. Much as with the bell curving system, this method is undermined if the highest score is a 100.

Josh Hillis Fat Loss Habits, with Dan John
Habit-Based Diet and Workout Hacks
Josh Hillis & Dan John
Foreword by Valerie Waters
The way you've been doing your fat-loss workouts and diet has been making it harder and more complicated to lose weight.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

Can you really LOVE a yoga mat...??
The answer is YES!! OMG, soft, non slip, beautiful.. i love getting on my mat because when in down dog i stare into Ganesh's 3rd eye and just breath!!! I feel confident i won't slip while jumping into forward fold, i know in Shavasana i am safe from harmful chemicals reacting to my sweaty body, i love that it is natural, chemical free and i am not harming the environment... LOVE MY YOGA MAT.. Yes, I have all 3 versions!!!!!
Amazing mat!!
I love my dream catcher mat and so does everyone else that takes class with me. It is so gorgeous, soft and vibrant. I just love it. It is rather heavy and it took me awhile to get used to that since my old eco friendly mat is so lightweight. I did slip a little when I first tried it out but after two classes I no longer slip at all. I am a little upset that a small piece of the black backing came off but I think that was because I took it to the park and there might have been some glass on the floor. Overall very well made and durable, I definitely recommend everyone to purchase this mat. I tell everyone that asks me from my yoga/ pilates class where I purchased it from so they can buy it, too. Side note-- I want to also mention that Mika's customer service is awesome. I e-mailed them after waiting about a week for my products to be shipped from Fedex. I was e-mailed back within 24 hours from Mika and they reshipped my products right away.
Beautiful design ! The bottom
Beautiful design ! The bottom has great grip . Stay on place . Love it !
Love it...
Most beautiful yoga mat.... breath taking....
Mat of my DREAMS
Softer, stronger and more supple than you can imagine!! Priceless

Have your pressing issues decided by Famous Minor Television Personality John Hodgman, Certified Judge. If you'd like John Hodgman to solve your pressing issue, please contact us HERE.
Saad brings the case against his wife Zeba. Saad prefers not to celebrate birthdays and would like to keep the hoopla surrounding them to a minimum. Zeba, on the other hand, enjoys the more traditional birthday trappings. They can't agree on the best way to acknowledge their children's birthdays in future.
Evan Cooper named this week's case via the Judge John Hodgman Facebook page. Thanks, Evan!
Bailiff Jesse returns to the courtroom! Judge Hodgman rules on the Oxford comma, Hawaiian short pants, and tries not to hurt anyone's "Disney feelings".

Judge Hodgman clears out the docket, ruling on teenage liars, snuggling with teddy bears, sopping up messes with toilet paper, and more.

This week, Cara brings the case against her husband, Colin. Colin began setting an alarm to rise with the sun each day. He says it's not only useful, but that he enjoys feeling synced with the natural world.
Cara says the sunrise alarm is impractical and is just Colin's latest "New Thing".
Should Colin continue rising with the sun? Only one man can decide.

Eric brings the case against his friend, brother-in-law, and drinking buddy Jonas. Jonas prefers the finer things, and drinks more expensive liquor. Eric drinks the cheaper stuff, and says he suffers snotty comments from Jonas as a result.
Should Jonas cut the snobbery, or is Eric being oversensitive? Only one man can decide.
This week's episode title suggested by Craig Eliason! Thank you!
Steve brings the case against his best friend Scott. Years ago, Scott introduced Steve to a love of hockey, by inviting him to professional games and teaching him how to play.

Using Seamless Paper for Pin Up Photography
Although the height of pin up photography peaked in the 1930's and 40's, there is a new resurgence in this highly stylized type of photography. You can achieve the iconic photo styling of these famous images with a variety of fun backgrounds and lighting techniques.
Shooting Boudoir & Lingerie in the Studio with Seamless Backdrops
Since I shoot primarily in a studio setting, I'm not really equipped to take on a typical boudoir shoot. When I booked my first boudoir client, I told her that and she was totally okay with it and told me she did not want a typical boudoir shoot, but something to make her feel confident and special. Here are a few tips to shooting boudoir & lingerie in a studio instead of a home or hotel room!
Pin Up Photo Shoot with Deep Yellow Seamless Paper
Bright, bold colors like Deep Yellow, Tulip and Baby Blue lend themselves well to specific niches like pin up photography! The energy put off by a vibrant background paired with a beautiful model and vintage get up sets the theme for a perfect pin up. This retro glam photo gallery was shot by photographer Robert Lopshire featuring Deep Yellow. See Full Gallery>>
Flirtatious & Fierce Pin-up Looks Created With Primary Red and Teal Backdrops
Jacquelynn Buck captures our imagination in this pin-up photo gallery using Primary Red and Teal Seamless Paper. Classic pin-up girls create a wonderful, risqué but never explicit photo shoot. Looking to mimic the natural American sweetheart charm? Vintage hairstyles, show stopping backdrops in rich & dramatic color schemes are a great start! See Full Gallery>>
Pin Up with Mint Green Seamless Paper
This gallery was shot by Lopshire Photography, featuring our energetic Mint Green Seamless Paper Background. Bright colors are the perfect match for fun, retro pin up sessions, and we love how these photos turned out! See Full Gallery>>
Sensual Silhouettes with a Translum™ Backdrop
This photo album was shot by photographer Rob Lopshire and features our Translum backdrop. This semi-translucent plastic material allows for beautiful light diffusion and stunning visual effects in the studio. See Full Gallery>>
Translum™ Eclipse Photo Shoot

Radiation Oncology | Year: 2015
Background: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of integrating the blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data into radiation treatment planning for high-grade gliomas located near the primary motor cortexes (PMCs) and corticospinal tracts (CSTs). Methods: A total of 20 patients with high-grade gliomas adjacent to PMCs and CSTs between 2012 and 2014 were recruited. The bilateral PMCs and CSTs were located in the normal regions without any overlapping with target volume of the lesions. BOLD-fMRI, DTI and conventional MRI were performed on patients (Karnofsky performance score≥70) before radical radiotherapy treatment. Four different imaging studies were conducted in each patient: a planning computed tomography (CT), an anatomical MRI, a DTI and a BOLD-fMRI. For each case, three treatment plans (3DCRT, IMRT and IMRT_PMC&CST) were developed by 3 different physicists using the Pinnacle planning system. Results: Our study has shown that there was no significant difference between the 3DCRT and IMRT plans in terms of dose homogeneity, but IMRT displayed better planning target volume (PTV) dose conformity. In addition, we have found that the Dmax and Dmean to the ipsilateral and contralateral PMC and CST regions were considerably decreased in IMRT_PMC&CST group (p<0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, integration of BOLD-fMRI and DTI into radiation treatment planning is feasible and beneficial. With the assistance of the above-described techniques, the bilateral PMCs and CSTs adjacent to the target volume could be clearly marked as OARs and spared during treatment. © 2015 applies to the data made available in this article, unless otherwise stated.

Inflammation Research | Year: 2014
Objective: To analyze the in vivo effect of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) with different courses and different doses to Sprague–Dawley rats with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis.Methods: The probiotic was orally administered with different courses of treatment (with or without pre-administration) and different doses (107–109 CFU/day) to Sprague–Dawley rats with TNBS-induced colitis. Therapeutic effects, levels of cytokine in serum, mRNA and protein expression were analyzed.Results: Oral EcN administration after TNBS-induced improved colitis dose dependently. In parallel, a reduction of disease activity index and colonic MPO activity together with a decreased level of TNF-α and a trend of increased IL-10 expression was detected. Pre-administration of 107CFU/day EcN to TNBS-treated rats resulted in a significant protection against inflammatory response and colons isolated from these rats exhibited a more pronounced expression of ZO-1 than the other groups. In the group of pre-administration of 109CFU/day, the condition was not improved but deteriorated.Conclusions: This study convincingly demonstrates that pre-administration of probiotic EcN with low dose is able to protect colitis of rats and mediate up-regulation of ZO-1 expression, but long-term of high-dose EcN may do harm to colitis. © 2014, Springer Basel.

Kidney and Blood Pressure Research | Year: 2015
Background/Aims: The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of high-salt diet on the renal expression of renalase and the potential role of the local renin-angiotensin system in this process. Methods: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into groups according to salt content in diet and drug treatment as follows: normal-salt diet (NS), high-salt diet (HS), high-salt intake with hydralazine (HS+H), high-salt diet with enalapril (HS+E), and high-salt diet with valsartan (HS+V). The dietary intervention and drugs were given for four weeks. Renin activity and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) levels were detected by real-time PCR. Renalase mRNA and protein were also measured. Results: After four weeks, systolic blood pressure and proteinuria were significantly increased in the HS group with respect to the NS group. Dietary salt intake caused a dramatic decrease in renalase expression in the rat kidneys. Renal cortex renin and AT1R increased significantly in the HS and HS+H groups. Urinary protein was positively correlated with renal renin and AT1R levels. However, in the HS+E and HS+V groups, enalapril and valsartan failed to influence renal renalase expression but abolished the increase in proteinuria, renal cortex renin, and AT1R levels with respect to the HS group. Conclusion: This study indicates that high salt intake reduces renal expression, and renal RAS may be not involved in the regulation of renalase in SD rats fed with high-salt diet. © 2015 The Author(s) Published by S.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of variety factors on the patient's adaptability and subjective evaluation after wearing Menicon-Z rigid gas permeable contact lens (RGPCL). METHODS: Totally 39 patients were recruited in this study. The clinic data including age, gender, spherical, astigmatism, corneal thickness, corneal curvature, basic tear and living areas were analyzed for their impact. Patients evaluated comfort and visual stability after wearing Menicon-Z RGPCL for a month. RESULTS: The average adaptation period after wearing RGPCL was 6.41±4.64 days. The age factor had a significant influence of the adaptation period (F=4.07, P=0.025). Patient's discomfort caused by foreign body sensation (0.62±0.71) and eye dry sense (0.64±0.63) after wearing RGPCL for a month. CONCLUSION: Patients adapted to Menicon-Z RGPCL in about a week. The younger the more easily adapted to the RGPCL. The main impact factor of patient's adaptation period is comfort. Detailed guidance and corresponding treatment is an important means to resolve their symptoms and long-lasting wearing. Copyright 2013 by the IJO Press. Source

AIM: To compare the prediction errors (PE) in cataract surgery with Lenstar and conventional ultrasound. METHODS: The data of age-related cataract patients were retrospectively analyzed from March, 2013 to June, 2013 in our hospital. Preoperative measurements of ocular biological parameters and calculation of intraocular lens (IOL) degree using SRK/T's formula with ultrasound, keratometry and Lenstar were performed. Cataract extraction combined with IOL implantation in capsule was taken in every patient. Retinoscopy was taken postoperatively after 3 months. Comparison of the two inspection methods for measuring axial length, mean corneal curvature and postoperative refractive PE and absolute value of PE (APE). RESULTS: Preoperative axial length was 24.68±1.70mm and 24.42±1.65mm with Lenstar and ultrasound, respectively, and there was significant difference (t=-12.688, P<0.001) and significant correlation (r=0.992, P<0.001) between different measurement, and the 95% LoA was in the range between -0.18mm and 0.69mm. Preoperative corneal curvature was 44.22±1.03D and 44.19±1.04D with Lenstar and keratometry, respectively, there was no statistical differences between two methods (t=-1.241, P=0.217), but was the significant correlation (r=0.963, P<0.001), and 95% LoA between 0.52D and 0.58D. PE was 0.05±0.23D and -0.35±0.76D with Lenstar and ultrasound, respectively (t=-5.494, P<0.001). APE were 0.18±0.14D and 0.56±0.62D with Lenstar and conventional ultrasound, respectively (t=6.379, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Accurate ocular biological parameters can be achieved with Lenstar, and postoperative PE is more precise with Lenstar compared with conventional ultrasound. Lenstar can be used for precise calculation of IOL degree in cataract operation. Source

Our Mission
Last modified: December 9, 2016
Thank you for visiting HomeschoolBase.com!
Homeschool Base is an eclectic collection of homeschooling resources, news, information, and blogs. By eclectic, we mean we are willing to cover everything. Homeschool Base's intent is to be middle ground between academia, breaking news, homeschool blogs, and homeschooling resource sites, where one can come and learn about all things homeschooling.
Why does Homeschool Base exist?
Many of the largest 'authority' homeschooling websites are pretty old. Sometimes the designs are ugly, complicated, and messy. Lots of beginners find their navigations to be confusing. When an old website's template isn't responsive, it is hard to view the website on your phone or tablet. Unfortunately, a few homeschooling sites seem to be 50% ads and 50% information. At worst, their information is sometimes outdated. Let's not stay entrenched in the technology of the early 2000s.
Please don't misinterpret that paragraph. We are a volunteer staff of homeschoolers and there are hundreds of homeschooling blogs and websites that we love. In fact, we like the vast majority of them! Most of us even have our own personal blog(s).
What we doknow is that prospective moms have approached us and complained about how overwhelming it is to get started. We have real-life experiences where people have asked if we know of a cleaner solution.
People requested a homeschool base. A foundation. A center of operation.
HomeschoolBase.com is a modern resource for homeschooling. Not just for the beginner, but for everyone.
The project is not 'complete' by any means, but we're working on it every day.
Moving forward, our original vision was to build a responsive, clean, and informational website that the community will welcome with open arms. We want to build a website that has information and resources that are as useful and plentiful as the 'big' corporate homeschool sites without compromising any integrity.
Our primary mission? Community service. Giving back.
Community Run and Volunteer Based
Homeschool Base is a community-based website. This means we need your feedback and contributions! We exist to provide the resources that you need and want plus the resources that some people don't yet realize they need.
This is why we encourage every Homeschool Base reader to make a writing contribution / guest post so that your voice, opinion, and insights are heard! If you are interested, you can even become a Homeschool Base blogger and contribute whatever you want, whenever you want! You'll get a blog page that looks something like this.
Social entrepreneurship & activism
Do you need help with your social entrepreneurship or homeschool activism? Let us know by contacting us because we want to help.
Link Up
Homeschool bloggers love to link up. It is awesome, healthy, and we support it 100%. If you write a helpful and informative blog about homeschooling, we want our readers to know about it. We also want to adhere to our design mission of creating and maintaining a clean, responsive, fast, and organized website. So, we implemented two options.
The first way to link up with Homeschool Base is to contribute an article, blog post, or resource. Everyone who contributes gets credited and a link back to their site, social media pages, information, etc. You are welcome to take it a step further and get log-in credentials and write for our audience regularly!
Secondly, (and even if you participate in the first option) we are in the process of creating a 'directory' page of bloggers! It is going to be awesome. At first, it will probably just start out as a regular 'page.' But eventually, we want to add some features. Anyways... ... ... this project is in the works. Please contact us if you want your blog to be added to this page! We won't add your blog without your permission.
Oh, we almost forgot. If you think this site is pretty cool you are always welcome to add links or images from our site on yours. No need to request permission. What we summarized here is available on the homeschool link ups page.
Your suggestions will be implemented
Give us feedback. Please! We are here for you, the homeschooler.
- Is there something you need?
- Are we missing something important?
- Is there anything you would like to see implemented or changed?
- Is one of our articles incorrect? Miscategorized? Or incorrectly characterizing?
- Did someone forget to use the atuo-correct?
- Is our mission flawed in some way?
- Maybe you want to help out?
- Should we change something about our design?
- Our site is running slowly? What??? Report it! (Please, we pay too much in hosting fees to let that happen!)
Please contact us, post a comment, or message one of our bloggers directly. Our staff is more than happy to help.
No obnoxious ads, ever
We promise that Homeschool Base will NEVER be filled with obnoxious ads. Lots of display ads make website pages load really slowly. Flashy ads are distracting and make the site look cluttered. They can add to the confusion. As of now, we are not running a single display advertisement in any of the resource sections and all website costs and fees are coming out of pocket. News articles usually contain some type of sponsor, product, or Amazon advertisement to help pay for the server bandwidth.
Additionally, we refuse to sell or endorse anything that we do not personally recommend and/or have experience with.
If one of our blog posts contains a product that is sold on Amazon, we will probably link to it. Why? Because we link to things that are generally helpful. Referral links do give us the chance to earn a small amount of revenue although we have yet to implement this. If you do see an Amazon link, please note that the item price will never be more expensive by using our link. For additional information read our privacy policy.
Our bloggers come from rich backgrounds. This is the way we like it. We want diversity because we are inclusive homeschoolers and because we know diversity is essential for learning. This is an educational website for parents as much as it is a resource. We are always accepting new reviews and posts about different homeschooling styles and philosophies. As a site and as a 'brand,' we stay completely neutral in terms of beliefs, religion, practice, and so forth.

The most important aspect of this hotel is the friendly, almost 'family'-atmosphere you get from the owners. The kitchen is excellent. No effort is too much for th owners concerning service, information, help, ... Lovely place with great views, and the house is a really cosy, romantic place. Very near to the great Wineroutes in Toscany and a good basis for visits to Sienna, Orvieto, Perugia, ... We'll go back! The menu in the restaurant is a bit small if you stay for more than a week, as we did.
The grounds were beautiful, staff were very friendly and the restaurant was good. Again, I didn't like being misled about the availability of a pool. It was big factor in our choice and it was a big dissapointment. The website should clearly state the dates the pool is in service (after June 15th)
We enjoyed the beautiful, secluded and relaxing/stylish environment of the Arco, with its pleasant pool and interior areas. Good local access to many places of real visitor interest. We were pleased to use the Arco restaurant two nights but the choice of food was ultimately a bit limited.
The setting was beautiful; the staff attentive, friendly and helpful. The pool could have been a bit cleaner and it was not heated. It was OK, however, just not quite as nice as the rest of the hotel.
beautiful setting- overlooking valleys / gracious staff- very accomodating / unbelievable food - orgasmic / dinners were wonderful . fantastic wine . working farm - all meat / pasta / cheese / wine from premises - fresh !! one night was a buffet - home make sausage - wow - so good .we were lucky enough to get a tour of the meat processing - very clean . there was also a woman cooking two huge pots of sauce while we went through .....ah the smell !beautiful outdoor terrace - had our breakfast out there at a cozy table . we had the suite with balcony - just wonderful. place is a bit off the beaten path but there are surrounding lessor known towns that are worth a trip into . Montelcino and Montepulciano about 1/2 hour away too. the bed squeaked .......needs to be fixed !!

My dd turned 4 in January and currently attends a community based preschool for 3 days a week. We plan to start her in school next year (we are in nsw, so she will start kindergarten at the local primary school).
She loves preschool at the moment and is very excited to start big school next year.
However, lately I have noticed that alot of parents are holding their children back a year so in her music class that she goes to once a week there are kids who have already turned five which means they will be turning six at the beginning of school.
My worry is that at this age there can be such a huge difference in kids a year apart. I know with my dd she can make huge leaps in what she can do etc in just a matter of months. I am concerned that with all the older kids she will get left a bit behind. As it is in music I was amazed at what some of the other kids are able to do and their level of confidence compared with my dd.
At a school readiness session I went to one of the teachers mentioned that most parents now are opting to delay starting school as much as possible so that when they are doing the hsc they are more mature and therefore do better.
I'm not sure what to do.... Send her next year as planned or wait another year. Does anyone have any experience in this?

Need some help to make a day even more special for my daughter and I. There are more deserving, but I figured there would be no harm throwing this request. No worries we'll still be there. Me? Hab's fan. Wife? Born, bred, and raised in Pittsburgh (you have no idea how rabid they are LOL). Daughter? Had acid reflux as an infant and one of her favorite solid foods was, and still is, a whole wheat bagel with creamcheese. She is 6 now, and a Philadelphia Flyer's fan... I remember the day when she screamed "Go Philadelphia" as my wife and I looked in horror at each other while watching a game on TV. Could be worse, so we bought her a jersey. A very nice neighbor gave us 2 tickets for the game on the 13th that we could never afford, things are tough, and was wondering if there was a way she could get a pat on the head or something like that. No signatures, cards, or sticks looking to be signed. I don't think she could name a player on the squad, but is ALWAYS interested when they play and the "score". The battle of PA is always a special time in our home...
im confused what youre asking for
The game is in Buffalo. My guess is the stadium security varies by arena and it depends on how stringent the policies are enforced as to how close fans are allowed to the entrances to the ice. If the team has a practice or morning skate scheduled, that is another possibility, generally.
However, the team doesn't have anything scheduled in Buffalo since it is an afternoon game and they practice in Philadelphia the prior day.
I would say contact Zack Hill (I think it's Hill) but being an away game I'm not sure there is much he could do. I'm sure if she's in a little Flyers jersey and you can get her down by the bench in pre-game warm-ups Hartsy would do something even if he just made a funny face at her. Good luck!!
Tweet Hartnell or Rinaldo about your situation and get down there early for warmups. I'm (surprisingly) confident that they'll do something! (one of them)

July 10, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Minnesota men's gymnastics team will welcome nine new freshmen to campus this fall, filling the void left by eight seniors departing the program following the 2014 season.
One of the many talented recruits the Gophers are adding to their roster is Jalon Stephens. Stephens will head north to join the Gophers from Shreveport, La. Before joining the Gophers, Stephens competed with Jill's Gymnastics (GymS'port) for coach Sean Keef.
How did you first get into gymnastics?
I was always flipping in the house and because my mother didn't want me to get hurt, she put me in gymnastics.
What other sports did you play growing up?
I played basketball and soccer, but gymnastics was the only sport that stood out to me.
How did you end up choosing the U?
I chose the U because I believe that I can be a great part of the plan Coach Burns has. I saw winning teams here and thought that I could help turn Minnesota into the top team in the country. I also love the campus and the library. I felt like I was at home when I went to the U, so I felt it was the best fit.
What is your favorite event?
My favorite event is horizontal bar.
Do you have a major or career field in mind?
Yes, I plan to major in kinesiology.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I like going to church, singing and walking.
What are your pre-meet or pre-routine rituals?
I always get my teammates and other teams in a circle and we pray before the meet. I started it three years ago, and no one has ever been hurt at a meet since we started doing this.
What are you most looking forward to about Gopher men's gymnastics?
I am looking forward to training with the top coaches in the country. I am also looking forward to pursuing my dreams of being on the Senior National Team and helping Minnesota win a Big Ten and NCAA title.
Day Two: Winter Cup Challenge
Stephens finished 23rd in the all-around competition, while alum Mannon finished fifth on pommel horse. Incoming freshman Wiskus also competed in the all-around finals, finishing 12th.
Day One: Winter Cup Challenge
Stephens, Wiskus, Mannon advance to the 2017 Winter Cup Challenge finals this Saturday, Feb. 18. in Las Vegas, Nev.
Gophers Duo Set for Winter Cup Challenge
Minnesota juniors Tristan Duran and Jalon Stephens are off to Las Vegas, Nev. for the 2017 Winter Cup Challenge.
