ExplorePerimeter&AreaOfCompositeShapes_Homework.docx - Section 3: Lesson Summary + Homework
Explore Perimeter and Area of Composite Shapes
Lesson 1 of 37
Objective: Students will be able to explore the differences between area and perimeter using models
Big Idea: Students further their understanding of area and perimeter by first considering a design for a bumper car ride.
Teacher introduces the lesson starter (hook) followed by objective. Teacher shows the exit ticket problems to explain criteria for success. Students follow lesson presentation and write in guided notes when expected to. (8-10 minutes)
I will hold up an inch square (color tile) and a ruler or measuring tape. I'll ask: "What do these objects have in common? What is different?" I'll accept a wide variety of answers but will stress precise languarge as students give examples (MP6). The point is for students to understand that these 2 tools are used to measure different attributes of an object. (MP5). It also serves as a pre-assessment of how what students know/remember about area and perimeter.
The floor tiles and rails of a bumper car attraction are used as a metaphor for area and perimeter respectively. The questions on the first two examples are meant to help students make this connection: rails à perimeter and floor tilesàarea.
Resources (2)
Students work with their neighbors to find the area and perimeter of a possible bumper car floor. Both shapes have the same area but a different perimeter. The point is for students to see that shapes with the same area do not necessarily have the same perimeter. Then students are asked to create a shape with the same perimemter but different area. This can be a challenge. The color tiles allow students to explore and sucessfully problem-solve (MP1) without feeling pressure to get the right answer immediately. I will break this section into two parts. I want to make sure students have sucessfuly completed GP1-GP4 before moving on. When we discuss solutions to GP5, I will display various student solutions on the SmartBoard using the document camera. I will ask students to discuss with their partners whether or not each shape meets the criteria. The discussion of this problem and GP6 provide a good opportunity for students to practice presented evidence (MP3) at a basic level.
Next students work independently on a similar set of problems. Before they begin, I will point on question #6, so that students are ready for a brief discussion. This question will be used to help summarize what we know about area and perime
Lesson Summary + Homework
We will quickly discuss solutions to the independent problem solving. Again, question #6 is meant to solidify a student's understanding of the difference between area and perimeter. Students will then take the exit

A Silky, Frustrating Experience
If you're looking for a sensuous mouth gag in the style of a bit, Doc Johnson wants to catch your eyes with its striking designs. While both the packaging and actual mouth bit are pretty, neither is quite functional. The silk straps are potentially too long, can tangle with hair and are hard to put on and keep in place. If you have the magic touch, you might like this design, but it may just prove frustrating.Published:

Poll: Purse vs. Bag
4 comments:
- Rebecca Clairine said...
i L.O.V.E bag :D
http://rebeccaclch.blogspot.com - March 9, 2011 at 9:34 AM
When I was younger, I called it a bag to dispell rumors that I was actually a girl. Now though, a purse is something I use if I am dressing up and/or attending some sort of fancy...thing.
A bag is an everyday purse, or a canvas bag (or a laptop bag).
=D - March 9, 2011 at 10:02 AM
I like both words, and maybe this is just my own interpretation, but I think of a "purse" as a more formal and structured handbag -- something you'd carry to a dressy event -- and I think of a "bag" as one of those large, slouchy, unstructured things we all carry the rest of the time. I can't look at my giant turquoise bowling-bag-style bag and think of it as a "purse"... it would feel like calling a sandwich a "repast."

So this might be silly, but purse in my mind is something smaller than a bag. My definition of a purse is a small bag that women carries (when it can fit your laptop in it, it stops being a purse and start being a bag), and a bag is something that can at least fit a notebook that BOTH gender can carry.

Our weekly services are held every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and run for about 1 hour. After service we have Dharma school classes for children and teens ages 2 - 18. These classes run for about 45 minutes and include age appropriate religious instruction and fun activities.
During this time we have a Dharma Exchange for the adults to discuss Buddhist topics of interest in a guided, informal forum.
Over the course of a year, we celebrate 11 special services. The following chart briefly outlines these services. The general public is welcome to attend all special services.
Shusho-ENew Year's Day Service |
Shosho-ye, or the New Year's Day service, allows us to gather and reflect upon the previous year and look forward to a better life in the new year. |
Ho-OnkoShinran Shonin's Memorial Day
This service takes place on the Sunday closest to January 16, the day Shinran Shonin passed away. We express our appreciation for his efforts in making it possible for us to hear and receive the Dharma. |
Nehan-ENirvana Day
On February 15, Sakyamuni Buddha passed into Pari-nirvana. The Nehan-e service allows us to pay tribute to his insight and noble teachings. |
O-Higan-ESpring and Autumn Equinox (March & September) |
O-higan means The Other Shore (of Enlightenment). It is a service of reflection and thanksgiving to our ancestors. |
HanamatsuriBirthday of Sakyamuni BuddhaApril 8 |
The birth of Sakyamuni Buddha is celebrated on the Sunday closest to April 8. The historical Buddha was born in the flower garden of Lumbini in modern-day Nepal approximately 2500 years ago. A hanamido (flower altar) decorated with beautiful flowers. A statue of the infant Buddha is placed in the center and those who wish pour sweet tea over the statue. |
Rikyokaishu-EAnniversary of the Founding of Jodo Shinshu |
This day commemorates the day, April 15, 1224, that Shinran Shonin finished the first draft of his most important work the book of Teaching, Practice, Faith and Attainment or Kyogyoshinsho. Jodo Shinshu Buddhists normally regard this day as the founding day of our denomination. |
Gotan-EBirthday of Shinran Shonin |
The birth of the Founder of Jodo Shinshu is commemorated annually on the closest Sunday to May 21. Shinran Shonin was born in Hino, Japan, a few miles southeast of Kyoto on May 21, 1173. A dedication ceremony (Hatsumairi) recognizing infants/children and new members is held on this day. |
O-BonAncestor Rememberance |
The O-Bon-e service is a Memorial Day for those who have departed before us and is traditionally observed on either July 15 or August 15. OBT observes Obon on the last Sunday of July. It is an occasion for us to remember our ancestors and to thank them for their deeds. Our annual Obonfest is held the first Saturday of August. |
Jodo-EBodhi Day |
Bodhi Day is December 8, the day we commemorate the historical Buddha's Enlightenment. This is the day Prince Siddhartha Gautama attained Enlightenment and became the Buddha, the Awakened One. Therefore this day signifies the dawn of humanity's universal emancipation from suffering and ignorance. |
Joya-EYear End service
This service is held on New Years Eve when the old year is coming to an end and to express our thanksgiving for Amida Buddha's guidance throughout the past year. |

A disappointingly dreary affair.
Read Full Review
Glaringly lacking in the film are any original Stones songs. The group, who fired Jones just before his death, must not have thought much of the movie if they didn't allow their music to be used. Smart fellows.
Thorogood allegedly confessed on his deathbed (in 1993) that he killed Jones, and while the movie convinces us that this might have happened, it never truly reveals who Brian Jones was before he fell apart. His indulgence, and his demise, play out in a void.
It's a depressing story made even more of a downer by the absence of any Stones-performed music from their prime '60s years.

Spurs notebook: No rest for Spurs this time
Published 9:50 pm, Saturday, March 30, 2013
And now for the game the NBA wanted back in November.
Save for reserve guard Manu Ginobili, who is out with a strained right hamstring, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is expected to play his stars and starters when the leagueleading Miami Heat visit the AT&T Center on Sunday.
That's a contrast from the teams' first meeting Nov. 29 in Miami, when Popovich sent Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Danny Green and Ginobili home on a Southwest Airlines flight, drawing a reprimand from commissioner David Stern and a $250,000 fine levied against the Spurs by the league.
The Spurs' role players almost won the game anyway, leading well into the fourth quarter before falling 105-100 to the defending NBA champs.
"People say, 'Oh he's resting them,' but it's not about rest," Popovich said. "It's about being as healthy as possible at the end of the year.
"If you have players at a certain age, who have certain dings, and you don't stay on top of that issue during the year, it's a moot point whether they have enough rest at the end of the year."
Popovich is convinced careful management of Duncan's playing time has helped the soon-to-be-37-year-old remain fresh for the duration of his 16th NBA season.
Including a 34-point, 11-rebound effort in Friday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Duncan is averaging 21.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks during March.
"Not playing that fourth game in five nights, if you've got Tim Duncan's knee and you're at his age, might make him a more ready-to-go guy at the end of the year," Popovich said. "A lot of guys play 40-plus minutes to win now. We're more concerned with later."
In January and early February, Ginobili, 35, missed nine games in two separate stints with a strain to his left hamstring.
The Spurs went 3-1 in them, including an overtime victory over Utah, a win over Denver and a 96-95 loss at Houston.
"Those games teach us a lot, especially in crunch time when you have to make a play," center Tiago Splitter said. "It's going to prepare us well for the playoffs."

Two days ago, I received a 13-day prison sentence for my role in a 2009 protest outside Britain's military nerve centre in Northwood against the bombing of Afghanistan. When I was in Afghanistan earlier this year I met a young man whose sister had been left widowed, with an infant son, by a Nato air strike that killed five civilians. Meeting the victims of our government's policies has only strengthened my conviction that we need to end Britain's role in this senseless and bloody war. But despite a "game-changing" move by the Taliban towards peace talks, with the opening of its political office in Qatar (Taliban peace talks 'at risk' as Obama stalls on Guantánamo, 18 January), the US looks committed to continuing its war in Afghanistan – albeit retooled to place more emphasis on drones, special forces and local proxies. Those of us who want to see British troops withdrawn – a sizable majority, according to the polls – must seize this crucial moment to force the US to the negotiating table.

Thiago Motta completes PSG move
Italy midfielder Thiago Motta has joined Paris Saint-Germain from Inter Milan for an undisclosed fee, the Ligue 1 club said on Tuesday.
31 January 2012Ligue 1 leaders PSG, who gave no details on the transfer, said that Thiago Motta will be officially unveiled at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
Thiago Motta, who has been capped six times by Italy, is PSG's third big signing of the January transfer window after full-back Maxwell joined from Barcelona and centre-back Alex left Chelsea for the Qatar-backed club.
Inter moved quickly to replace Thiago Motta by signing Italy midfielder Angelo Palombo on loan with a right to buy from Sampdoria, the Nerazzurri said on Tuesday.

Prayers, Sorrow & Reflection.
In the wake of the senseless massacre, magnitude & circumstances of the recent tragedy I am left numb and without adequate words. So many of the innocent victims were the same age & Grade as one of my Precious Grandchildren... so I cannot even Imagine nor comprehend the horror & sorrow the Loved Ones and Community are Experiencing. It is supposed to be the Season of Love and Goodwill towards others and instead they are faced with utter devestation only days before a Holy Holiday due to the actions of one obviously tortured & troubled Soul showing no Mercy towards even the Innocents. Our Prayers are with each person touched by this horrific event... there are so many. In quiet Reflection I am reminded how Fragile & uncertain Life can be... and it makes me hug my Grandchildren this day just a little tighter than usual.
Dawn... The Bohemian

Our Dumb-ass Report
It took four years to wind through the court system, but now we know: California residents are allowed to call each other dumb-asses, even print it in the family newspaper if they want to. The 6th Appellate Court decided the landmark case last week, involving two dumb-asses for Hollister City Council, John Vogel and Paul Grannis. They were listed on a Web site of the Top 10 Dumb-asses of San Benito County, a site ghostwritten by Joseph Felice, a former dumb-ass Hollister City Council member who also smeared the owners of one of Hollister's dumb-ass newspapers, Tracie Cone and Anna Marie Dos Remedios. Cone and Remedios' editorial department was at odds with Felice, a dumb-ass mortgage broker, over housing growth in San Benito County. Felice besmirched Cone and Remedios as "filth from up north" and linked Cone's name to a lesbian smut page. (Cone was also No. 4 on Felice's Top 10 Dumb-asses.) Felice also falsely accused one of the paper's columnists of being a child molester. Felice's dumb-ass handiwork earned him the contempt of the international media and a defamation lawsuit, which cost him $50,000 that the paper donated to charity. Vogel and Grannis weren't as fortunate in their battle with Felice, who, as has been mentioned before, is a dumb-ass. In the court's opinion, written by Justice Harry J. Tobias, "dumb-ass" is indeed an offensive term. Trouble is, there's no way to prove somebody is a dumb-ass. It is not a term that conveys "a provably false factual assertion," required to support a claim of defamation. "A statement that the plaintiff is a 'Dumb-ass,' even first among 'Dumb-asses,' communicates no factual proposition susceptible of proof or refutation," Tobias writes. Tobias then breaks down the two words: Calling someone 'dumb' is like calling someone a fool. 'Ass,' meanwhile, is a "general expression of contempt essentially devoid of factual content." What also helped Felice avoid libel charges was the fact that he called himself "Dumb-ass Bob," which should have been a signal to readers that Felice was just joshing around. "In fact, the main purpose of the page seems to be to employ the term 'ass' as often as possible, preferably in conjunction with 'dumb,'" Tobias opined, which made Felice's Web site "puerile" and "wretchedly excessive" but not defamatory. Don't like it? Blame the dumb-ass who wrote the opinion. Is this a great country or what?
Our Favorite New Book
A definitive biography of the Knight Ridder newspaper chain has never been written, not counting the corporate timeline posted on the company's Web site. Until now. Davis (Buzz) Merritt, who edited the Wichita Eagle for 25 years, makes a good case in a 242-page tome that's part journalism textbook, part insider account of the building of an empire. As with any empire-building venture, there's winners and losers, villains and heroes. You don't have to read too far into Knightfall: Knight Ridder and How the Erosion of Newspaper Journalism Is Putting Democracy at Risk to realize who's who. By page 35, we've already learned Knight Ridder's journalistic contributions, as measured in number of Pulitzers, has dropped sharply compared to the 1980s and that the Knight clan, led by patriarch Charles L. Knight, was the credible half of the newspaper chain. Whereas the Ridder clan, led by Herman Ridder, had the business acumen to make newspapers profitable. When the two chains merged in 1974, they were the most powerful print media conglomerate on the planet. So why didn't it produce the best journalism? Neither the Knights nor the Ridders had the foresight to implement a two-tiered voting system when the companies went public in 1969. That left both companies (before the merger) susceptible to the demands of stockholders, impatient for returns even as the economy dipped and turned over the years. It helped none that the Ridders eventually controlled most of the company's governing board. Merritt peppers his page-turning copy with anecdotes about the inner workings of the company, such as the time Tony Ridder, taking over the company in 1995, deflated the hopes of many Knight Ridder editors when he was asked what kept him up at night. "Electronic classifieds," Ridder responded. Obviously, Merritt had hoped for an answer more representative of community-service journalism. What he got was the bottom line. In what some would consider a rather bizarre twist, Tony Ridder reportedly has read Knightfall and "enjoyed parts of it," says Polk Laffoon, KR's VP of corporate relations. Laffoon says he hasn't read the book but his wife is finishing it. "I understand Buzz is quite critical in some respects. I'm sorry he's not kinder to Knight Ridder. That's what happens sometimes." Laffoon did not specify whether his last comment referred to criticism or crappy journalism.

East Side teachers were none too happy with Craig Mann's choice of shirt colors immediately following layoff notices of 800 teachers March 15. That same night Mann, who did not receive the teacher's endorsement last election cycle, wore a pink polo shirt. Several weeks ago, at a Cesar Chavez rally, he again adorned a pink shirt. Pink just happens to be the color teachers have chosen to signify their solidarity in fighting what they see as unjust and unnecessary pink slips. Were teachers ready to accept Mann's alleged gesture of goodwill? Hardly. "We're not buying it," says one teacher, who said Mann was taunting, not embracing, teachers.

Rockbridge Vineyard Red Bordeaux Blend Dechiel Reserve Meritage 2008
Member Review by vin0vin0:
Not much going on with this Virginia bordeaux blend. A little flat, maybe past its prime. Dominated by the cab franc mustiness with just a hint of the cab sauv lingering. Light to moderate tannins, dried cherry and prune with some green pepper on the back end.

Rockbridge Vineyard is the fruition of Shepherd Rouse's dream to make fine wine in his native state of Virginia.
As a boy in 1963 in his hometown of Williamsburg, Rouse found a round green glass bottle seal with the date 1718 embossed on it. The areaeological expert in residence at Colonial Williamsburg at the time, Ivor Noel-Hume identified it as the second oldest dated wine bottle seal yet unearthed in Virginia. Rouse donated it for the Colonial Williamsburg collection. Ten years later on a spring semester abroad in Germany as a Washington and Lee University geology student, Rouse was intrigued by wine. Three years later, back in Germany on a Fulbright scholarship, he decided to learn how, and then to produce fine wine in Virginia.
In 1978 Rouse moved to California and served an extended apprenticeship that included earning a Masters degree in Enology at the University of California at Davis and work at Schramsberg, Chateau St. Jean and Carneros Creek Wineries. He returned to Virginia in 1986 and began to learn the ropes here as winemaker at Montdomaine Cellars (his 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon won the 1993 Virginia Governor's Cup), before starting his own winery.
In 1988 Rouse purchased a farm in northern Rockbridge county, in the Shenandoah Valley at higher elevation than most Virginia vineyards and planted five acres of grapes. He has complemented his own planting with grapes grown by other top-quality growers at selected locations in Virginia. From this palette, Rouse is able to produce a full spectrum of wines to match a broad range of individual tastes. By processing each wine minimally and employing traditional, small batch methods, the full intensity and terrior of each wine is captured in Rouse's winemaking.
His interest in Native American culture and Geology has led to the creation of two of Rockbridge's most popular wines. Tuscarora White and Tuscarora Red are named after the Tuscarora branch of the Iroquis Federation and the hard sandstone formation which forms the prominent ridges of the western Valley of Virginia. V d'Or, Rockbridge's cyro-concentrated Vidal ice wine rivals the best dessert wines from France, Germany and California. Other French-hybrid wines have local interest names: St. Mary's Blanc, a dry, barrel-fermented Vidal Blanc, is named after the lovely waterfall in the St. Mary's wilderness area, a favorite hiking spot 7 miles from the winery; Lexington and Concord was chosen for the name of Rockbridge's sweet Concord wine - Lexington is 18 miles distant. The newest member of the Rockbridge line, a semi-dry rose made from Concord, Seyval and Vidal is named after a famous bullfrog "Jeremiah", frogs being another of Rouse's favorite childhood pursuits.

Could the writer be the writer of the book that Henry has - the writer of the stories? Maybe that's why he believes Henry? Come to finish the book?
Definitely in the minority, but I agree with this 100% :) I think we need to see how the curse is slowly breaking apart. Out of all the episodes so far, there have really only been two that were completely closed ended - Cinderella and H/G. I like the episodes where we learn more backstory of the characters like Graham, Rumpy, Mr. Hopper and hopefully Red one of these days :shrug Of course Snow and Charming are the "A" story line, but if they resolve too quickly, where does the show go from there? Afterall, they were the ones who were the entire reason behind the EQ's curse. When they get their happy ending, that will be a major blow to the curse....if that's not what breaks it completely. Of course, I wonder what happens then? Do they integrate Storybrooke and FT land? Does Emma leave Mom and Dad behind and stay in the "real world" or become a Disney princess ;)? Do the EQ and Rumpy find some sort of redemption, or are they doomed?
As for the new guy in town (yum!), that was my first thought too CSW - a Grimm brother :) I really like the idea that he may be the author of the book though...or one in a long line of writers. Maybe the book is like an evolving piece, and one day Henry will be the one to take over writing the stories...Anyway. I definitely think the fact he is using an old fashioned typewriter has some sort of meaning. He has a connection to someone somewhere, otherwise he wouldn't have landed in Storybrooke!
That's an interesting idea. I like it.
"That's what makes me Grumpy". I loved that line! Grumpy has always been my favorite. :)
EQ's face when Emma mentioned the curse was priceless.
Gennifer Goodwin said in the article that she has a hard time with the scenes with Rumpy because in RL he's the sweetest, funniest man ever and then she has to switch gears and pretend to be disgusted by him. She said it's challenging as an actress because she just wants to hug him..lol
I too thought the stranger might be a Grimm Brother. I was thinking he might have shown up because Emma burned the last pages of the book and so the end of the story is no longer "written in stone" so to speak so he has to be there to finish writing the fairy tale. Emma burning the last pages means she no longer has a guideline on how the story ends. Either way, he has to be tied to Fairy Tale land somehow or he couldn't be there. Even Henry is tied to it because he is the son of the Snow & Charming's daughter, Emma.
Last night was one of my favorite episodes but I think I might of hit my hubby when Snow said "Prince Who?" I was so upset!!!!!!!
I had forgotten that Emma burned the pages. Thanks for that reminder.:nod All of the theories are great!
Besides the great acting, the scenery is beautiful.
Can someone remind me why Emma would burn pages of Henry's book? I've missed a couple of episodes along the way...don't recall that at all.
Emma burned the pages so there wasn't any chance for the EQ to read what happens.
it was right after she came to town and at that point she was playing into Henry's thing about the Fairytale land and he tore the pages out of the book so Regina couldnt' read them and gave them to Emma and she told Henry she read them and that they were dangerous and that the EQ couldn't know the ending that way she and Henry had the upper hand..so she burned them in Dr. Hopper's office...I wonder as more and more as she comes to believe Henry will she regret that decision to burn them who knows
I love the idea of the motorcycle man being a Grimm and he's there to re write the stories as they are finding their happy endings
Thanks to you and Bjaminsmom---do we know whether she actually read the pages, or did she just tell Henry she did? Of course logically the different stories are in different chapters, so he can't just tear out the last few pages of the book---would have to go through it pulling out pages.
I like the idea that the gradual increase in happy endings is eroding the curse, katydyd...which is why we need to other characters to come in and do their chapters now and then, and not just have it be about Snow and Charming.
And I agree, JavaJo, loved Grumpy's line about that's what makes me g/Grumpy! :)

Okay guys, I can see that I am going to have to do the education on things not vanilla once again. There is no debate as to if Janet had a "tassle" or "pasties". The answer is none of the above. What she was actually wearing was a "nipple shield". She has stated in the past that she has various body piercings, nipples being one of the many. In this case, the only way to really keep nipple sheilds in place is with some sort of ring.
Don't believe me? Let's expand the photo in Photoshop (don't you love investigatvie reports?)
In this photo, I have cropped an mangified the area in question. I then sharpened it a bit. As you can clearly see, that is a nipple shield (and a nice one at that!). Her nipple can be clearly seen in this shot.
Nipshields can come in many styles. You might want to check this link out if you would like one yourself:

Usually, there is a change for the baby to be female. The only time there is no chance is when the other Pokémon has no female gender, such "All Male" or "No Gender" Pokémon. Starter Pokémon and certain other Pokémon lines have 7:1 Male to Female Ratio can result in fully Boxes being all male. Techically even with the 1:7 MtoF Pokemon, you can not encounter a female for a while. Also I think babys gender is set one it's "generated."

This fellow was crossing the road and hence was a great find for me !
The Echidna (or Spiny Ant-eater) and the Platypus share the distinction of being the only two surviving monotremes, a primitive link between the reptiles and the other more advanced mammals. Like the Platypus, the Echidna lays eggs.
Echidnas are widely distributed throughout Australia.
Covered with spines and coarse hair, small eyes and the ears have no outer part, being mere vertical slits, a long, black, tubular snout with a small mouth and long narrow, sticky tongue to gather up their food. The nostrils are at the tip of the snout. It has no teeth. The Echidna has short strong feet with sharp claws. It waddles when it walks.
If disturbed, the Echidna's instant reaction is to burrow straight downwards. Once half buried, with the massive claws of its incredibly strong limbs hooked under roots or rocks, it is almost impossible to lift up or turn over.

A northern Mississippi high school has canceled its annual prom dance rather than allow a lesbian student attend with her girlfriend, the AP reported.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Itawamba County School District announced the cancellation of the Itawamba Agricultural High School (IAHS) prom dance for junior and senior students.
"Due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events, the Itawamba County School District has decided to not host a prom at Itawamba Agricultural High School this year," school board members said.
The board made its decision after the ACLU of Mississippi had demanded a lesbian student be allowed to bring her girlfriend.
Constance McMillen, 18, contacted the ACLU after school officials told her she could not attend the dance with her girlfriend, also a student at IAHS, and that if they arrived separately but slow-danced together they might be kicked out. Officials also told McMillen she could not wear a tuxedo to the event.
A February 5 memo addressed to junior and senior students stated a prom date "must be of the opposite sex."
In a March 2 letter addressed to Teresa McNeece, superintendent of education for the district, and IAHS Principal Trae Wiygul, the ACLU demanded a remedy by Wednesday.
"Ms. McMillen has informed us that IAHS's prom policy prohibits her from exercising her constitutional rights to bring a same-sex date," the human rights group said in the letter. "As you know, students have the right under the First Amendment to bring a same-sex date to the prom."
"We request that the District provide immediate permission for Constance to bring her same-sex date and to wear a tuxedo to the prom," the letter said.
Instead, the district canceled the prom, saying it hoped "that private citizens will organize an event for the juniors and seniors."

The sweetness of the carrots is a nice contrast to the slightly bitter beer.
Leave a Review
Made this twice, once with Victory Storm King Stoudt and once with Bell's Expedition Stoudt - we liked it better with the Victory. Flavors were very good (I always find beef stew tastes better the next day so I make it a day ahead). This didn't thicken up as much as I would have liked - will add more flour next time. Also added potatoes at the same time as the carrots the second time I made it and that helped the thickening a bit.
I cooked this as written using Yards Tavern Porter and parsnips instead of carrots. I found the sauce to be the right color and consistency but just lacking in depth. After scanning the web, I added 1-2 tsp anchovy paste, ~1/2 tbsp soy sauce, a pinch of smoked paprika. I let it simmer and it make a huge difference in flavor. While I did not follow the recipe exactly, I still think it is a great starting place and will definitely make this again with slight modifications.
Very good. I especially enjoyed the carrots.
To potent. I would put in potatoes too. Added some other veggies that I had such as parsnip. I did use extra stout, could that be the difference?
I very much enjoyed this recipe. I did augment it with a tablespoon of red current jelly. (I made it once in Palm Springs for family while on vacation and used black current jelly which worked as well). I've served it Irish style over a bed of mashed potatoes. It also goes well served over basmati rice.
This is really quite good. Nice dark broth, good strong flavor, really requires good beef. Normal substitutions: olive oil instead of peanut; Sirloin instead of chuck roast; beef bouillon instead of canned broth; dried spices instead of fresh; peeled baby carrots instead of ones with tops. Results: olive oil works fine, sirloin is good but Pot Roast is better choice. Bouillon creates a nice beefy broth that works well with the Guinness. Reducing spices by third since using dried still gives good flavor of rosemary & sage. Usually served over pappardelle egg noodles. Could feed four adults, but we have two adults and one large teen-aged raccoon/eating-machine so there are no left-overs. As for timing; start this one half hour before the football game, so it goes to simmer at kick-off. Add the veggies at the half; put the water on to boil for the noodles at the two-minute warning. Food will be ready when the game is over. It's stew; overtime is no problem. The longer the game, the better this gets. Occasional Options include: * one pound sliced mushrooms * one can whole water chestnuts, drained * substitute frozen pearl onions for chopped onions
I usually braise meats with the bone in, but this was a nice change. It is easier to serve without the bones and much less fat. I also would braise it a little longer. I used homemade broth and it did end up fairly dark. I am going to make it this weekend in a dutch oven camping.
This was quite good. Too late I discovered I had no tomato paste so I chopped up some sun dried tomatoes. I found the color to be quite dark. The recipe calls for 90 minutes of cooking, not 45 as stated below.
A decent stew. I made it with a really dark porter that I made myself and it had a great smell to it. I would have liked some more garlic, and some more color. I did add some wild mushrooms near the end though, and those were a great addition.
This was good, but if I make it again, I will add a potato.

Monetary Union: The Ins and Outs of Strategic Delegation
This paper addresses the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy in a closed trading bloc consisting of "ins" forming a monetary union and "outs" who retain monetary sovereignty. All governments, however, can opt for a particular choice of institutional arrangement for their central bank and delegate monetary policy to central banks with varying degrees of independence or equivalently "conservatism". This paper examines the outcome when these decisions are individually rational for governments and are taken strategically, taking into account the intracountry interactions between fiscal authorities and their own central banks, and the inter-country interactions between the same players.

Saturday, May 27, 2017
The annual bulk waste clean-out event takes place at the Front Range Landfill in Erie (1830 Weld County Road 5). This one day event allows residents to dispose of large household items that are not typically accepted through regular trash service.
Voucher Required
Dacono residents, with valid ID, can obtain one voucher from Dacono City Hall for free disposal of one load of large bulk items. Vouchers must be obtained at Dacono City Hall. Dacono City Hall will offer extended business hours prior to the event to make it convenient for residents to obtain a voucher.
Only one voucher per household will be issued.
The voucher must be presented to the gate attendant or landfill charges will apply.
Please note, one load is defined as a single vehicle or truck. A vehicle/truck with a trailer is considered two loads and additional charges will apply.
Vouchers are not available at the gate.
Vouchers are only valid for use only on the date of the event.
Landfill Hours & Details
Go to Front Range Landfill for operating hours and disposal guidelines.
Senior Citizens & Disable Residents
Residents 65 years of age or older or those with a disability can contact Dacono City Hall and request assistance with their bulk waste disposal. For this service please have items curbside labeled "CLEAN UP DAY". All items must be at the curb as city staff will not enter homes or garages to remove items. A maximum of two loads will be picked up from any address.

Eastman police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at Flash Foods convenience store on the Soperton Highway at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 27.
According to the police report, a black male entered the store and went into the men's rest room.
When he came out, the cashier asked him if he needed anything else. He told her he needed a pack of cigarettes. As the cashier turned to get the cigarettes, the man pulled a knife on her and told her to give him all the money.
He advised her not to touch any buttons. The cashier told him she had to use the keys to open the cash register and get the money.
The cashier proceeded to get the money and hand it to him. He then picked up the cigarettes and fled the store.
If anyone has any knowledge about this robbery, they are asked to call the Eastman Police Department at 478-374-7788.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: ocean10000
1) our current members area
2) a test forum
3) a test shopping cart
Even though I inherited this site, I'm prety familar with the code and did not have problems in the past with our other host.
Previously I was on Win 2000 Server and now I'm on a Windows 2003 server. I checked the session timeout in the global.asa and it was set to the default 20 mins. The tech I talked to confirmed that 20 mins. was also the default on the server and didn't have any ideas as to what could be causing the problems.
Am I forgetting something really simple? I don't want to waste time looking over all this code and find out it's something on the server. I've not worked with Windows 2003 until now so I'm not familar with any of the quirks or workarounds.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
There are three ways a session "times out"
1) The browser doesn't send the ASPSESSIONID cookie,
2) The browser doesn't make a request within the timeout period, and
3) The website application is restarted causing ALL sessions to become invalid.
Obviously, you need to make sure that your browser isn't causing this issue by not sending the cookie. Also, the browser might be fine, but if your website code is causing redirects across domains or subdomains, then the cookie may become lost.
As for 2 and 3 above, you might be able to determine which is happening to you by checking through your log file. In either case, I am pretty sure that the browser is going to present the ASPSESSIONID cookie. The server is determining that it is invalid and starting a new session with a new ASPSESSIONID. The actual name of the cookie (not its value) is unique to the Application instance. So if your application has restarted, then the letters after ASPSESSIONID will change. If the name stays the same, then the application has not restarted and the session has indeed timed out.
Probably more info than you wanted, but hopefully it will give you a few options to check into.
If you are settting Session.Timeout in your code and it's not working, something upstream is causing it.

hopefully it will give you a few options to check into.
"are you running your site on a SINGLE IIS box?
We're on shared hosting, but I don't know the much about their setup. I've also been having problems with this same site crapping out (twice in 2 days). I called to inquire about it they told me that mine was the only ASP site affected. I've picked up from the techs most the sites on the server seem to be running ColdFusion. One of them explained how they run in seperate memory space and that one couldn't affect the other, etc, etc. So I closed the forum and went code diving and found almost a dozen recordsets not disposed of. This isn't my code. I know better. :)
Any opinions on the CF vs .NET/ASP theory?
Our host had to set the Sessions to "sticky" in the Load-Balancing hardware/software so that clients stay on the box rather than a click taking them to the page on a different server
I know what load balancing is about and I know about the quirks that come along with it, but I've never had to deal with it before. Got any good tips or reading?
If you are settting Session.Timeout in your code and it's not working, something upstream is causing it.
Thanks for all the input.
Also, running in your own memory space is definitely preferable, so I would ask for that. If your site still crashes while running in your own memory space, then it's probably somewhere in your code. If it never happenned before now and all that has changed is your host, I would question the server setup.
To prove Sessions aren't functioning properly to your host, create a simple ASP page that sets a Session Variable and another that writes it out with a Response.Write. If you are loosing session like you say, your response.write should yield nothing eventually.
your response.write should yield nothing eventually
If you are indeed using load balancing, and you are not accounting for it, then this is the cause of your problem.
Again, a quick check of your log file will bare this out. You would see ASPSESSIONID cookies being presented that do not match up. So in one log file you might see entries for ASPSESSIONIDABCDEFGHIJK= and also for ASPSESSIONIDLMNOPQRSTU=.
I've looked over the log files and tried to filter out some useable info. While doing this I noticed the following lines which I assume is a server reboot.
#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0
#Version: 1.0
#Date: 2004-07-26 03:26:39
Here are the number of occurances for each log file.
7/20/04 12
7/21/04 8
7/22/04 13
7/23/04 9
7/24/04 9
7/25/04 13
7/26/04 9
7/27/04 13
7/28/04 6
7/29/04 9
Total: 101
Is this anywhere close to normal? Should I expect this from a established hosting company? I'm used to working with local web hosts who can't answer their phones, or employed with companies who have internal servers, so this is sort of new for me and just seems like alot of downtime. The time between the last page request and the restart time ranges anywhere from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. Maybe this would explain the problems with my sessions gaking?
Is this what I should expect in the "real world" from even the "big guys"?
Thanks again for the feedback.
Is this anywhere close to normal?
These lines are written by IIS when it initially creates the logfile OR whenever it restarts. So it is normal to see them at the top of each log file. If they occur anywhere else in the file, it means that the webservice or website was restarted. There is no ambiguity on this issue.
be concerned if it was rebooting once a week much less multiple times a day. This is WAY beyond "normal".
Got any ideas or advice regarding dealing with the downtime? Are the logs enough proof as to how much time we've been down?
Find a host that provides some sort of guaranteed uptime. If ours is less than 99%, we start getting refunds on our monthly fees.
I guess it's time to pull out the calculator
And start your new host quest immediately.
Considering that they seemed uninterested in looking into the issue...and that you had to invest quite a bit of time to hone in on something they SHOULD BE MONITORING
I haven't called them on this yet because I wanted to get feedback first. I'll make the call later today now that I have some ammunition, or at least more confidence. :)
Thanks again for all the input and I'll let everyone know what the outcome is.

The Spanish brand had announced that it would present this new version of the Seat Leon tomorrow, July 23, but as usual, the first images appeared one day before, spoiling the surprise or possibly creating a bigger excitement. Nothing much is known but the ST (sports tourer) version of the Leon looks better than I thought.

Seat presents the Leon Cup Racer
The Spanish company, owned by Volkswagen, will bring to the town of Reifnitz on the south bank of the Wörthersee, the new Leon Cup Racer. This new racing car is prepared for several different racing series worldwide, and i am guessing that this is what the new WTCC car will look like when Seat returns to the World Touring Car Championship.

Official: Seat presents the new Leon SC and Leon SC FR [Video]
Geneva Motor Show,
Leon SC,
Leon SC FR,
The Leon SC (Sports Coupe) is a new chapter for the Spanish company because it is the first ever three-door Leon. And for a first we expected more. It lost two doors with, the other two are bigger, the car has a wheelbase which is 35mm shorter for an overall length of 4230mm.

2013 Seat Ibiza Cupra
The new Ibiza Cupra will soon be available to order and now Seat released more pictures of the small city car with a "sporting performance for every day". The car is fast but while the look isn't that exciting, it does not look as bad as some of its adversaries, with the exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels, the black gloss exterior mirrors, bi-xenon lights, the redesigned bumpers and tinted windows.
6 de novembro de 2012
Production model of the Seat Ibiza Cupra
The new Cupra is not that different from the rest of the Ibiza family. The changes on the outside include modifications in the bumpers, which are slightly wider and more agressive, LEDs in front and rear lights, exclusive 17-inch wheels, black mirror caps and a rear diffuser including a central trapezoidal tailpipe.

A Gallup Poll released Wednesday suggests about 53 percent of Americans rejects the theory of evolution as the explanation for the origin of humans.
Instead, they believe God created humans at one time "as is," the survey showed.
About 31 percent of respondents said they believe humans evolved, but God guided the process. Only 1.2 percent said they believe the scientific theory of evolution and "God had no part."
Researchers said people with lower levels of education, those who attend church regularly, those who are 65 or older and those who identify with the Republican Party are more likely to believe in the biblical story of the origin of humans.
The poll was conducted in September but no margin of error figures or other information was available.

I am not surprised to hear Bachmann say something that is completely crazed, but for Barton, out of Texas, he is clearly not aware. I wonder how he would feel if Texas was getting pounded with oil from the GoM.
Should it be any surprise that reepublicans in general are not with common people, they care only about big businesses, because that's where their money comes from.
Barton's not the only one, though. He's the only one who flat-out apologized, but there are a lot of Republicans expressing sympathy for poooooooor BP. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said everyone was being too hard on them, and Haley Barbour – Mississippi's #1 embarrassment – said people need to cut BP some slack because they're a business. And it goes on and on.
Republicans are corporatists. They don't care about anything but corporate profits and the rich... because those are the people who give them their payoffs. Republicans are in politics for one reason... and that reason definitely is NOT public service or a sense of duty to one's country.
so the GOP which paints itself as for limited government is now turning on one of its people who is trying to limit the power of government. hmmm. phony conservatism. when will the far right realize that government can be a good thing and if they keep bashing it with their extremism, eventually they will find that people who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.
Sound off with your $'s.
BOYCOTT ARCO (in California)
MISconstrued? No, I think the remarks were construed accurately. We have someone here who is obviously more worried about the wealth of BP's shareholders and the careers of BP's executives than in any harm to man or beast that results from the debacle in the Gulf.
Here's the face of the GO[B]P
Oh republicans! Michele Bachmann says what you are all thinking, and you don't have her back? What's next, John Boehner in Birkenstocks?
I just don't understand what the Republicans uproar is about, its always been their stance to side with foreigners against ordinary American families.
They have sent our jobs to China, given foreigners our mineral resources, refuse to allow us to reign in foreign Corporations.
Yeah before the BP fiasco the GOP always mocked and scoffed enviromentalists for their concerns about pollution of our planet and their citing big business reckless disregard towards the enviroment. Legislation was passed years ago to regulate these industries and the cost to do this messed with big business's profit margin. Then came Dubya who then deregulated them, said it was unfair and that the govt was interfering with private enterprise and deregulation was the first step towards smaller govt. Now that its to late the nay sayers that were on board with the GOP about deregulation realize that govt needs to regulate the private sector to insure that guidelines were met to protect the safety of the American public. For example; airline industry ,food & drug industry, working enviroments, banks (Dubya deregulated that one to) etc. Now the GOP want to blame Obama for the catastrophe that was caused by their deregulation/smaller govt strategy and make out that they are so enviromentally conscience but Rep Barton let it slip out what they are really thinking; blame Obama and dont cite big business (BP) for any $ or responsibility. Rather than admit they made a mistake about deregulation they want pretend theyre so appalled at the pollution in the Gulf to avoid the wrath of the voters come Nov. And the sheeple that follow them so stupidly will believe anything theyre told. They always do. And the beat goes on.....
I'm shocked! A Texas Republican pimping for big oil? I wonder if our Governor has heard about this guy...
I have seen and heard so much from some members and speakers from the republician party that just look down right crazy. What gives with these guys? Do they hate our president so much that even when he does something good for our country they try to act like it is bad?
Comments "misconstrued"?? Ya think?? I don't see how else they could have been taken. They were pretty straightforward. This TEXAS republican sees the oil companies and big business as more valuable than individual people are suffering from a disaster caused by said corporations.
And as far as retracting his statements....sorry that don't do anything. He still feels the way he feels and a retraction doesn't change a thing. I listened to his "Apology to Big Oil" and they were well thought out. He put a decent amount of time into them. This gave him plenty of time to determine if they were acceptable or not. He made the choice to put them into the Congressional record. This person has shown himself as representative of the oil industry NOT the constituents of his district in Texas.
This disgusting shill's true colors were exposed today, it is exactly his kind of thinking that put us in this position in the first place..Oil and industry first.
Obviously his message doesn't deviate too far from the standard GOP agenda which is troubling, however, I'm sure more than a few lawmakers in the Republican ranks are beginning to see the light regarding lax regulation and oversight over an industry that could potentially destroy a vital ecosystem and millions of Americans way of life.
I am a Republican, and I am applauded by Barton's statements. He needs to go, because he is most definitely in someone (BP's) back pocket.
But this is the difference with liberals and conservatives. Conservatives are smart enough to see when one of their representatives needs to go.
America WAKE UP!!!! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY are all about BIG OIL, BIG CORPORATION, AND BIG INSURANCE. Please vote in November. Support the democrats and independants.
It's beyond words what this idiot said, This just show's whose side he is on!!! He should resign and take a job with BP
"Some Republicans however have expressed sentiments similar to Barton's. Speaking at the Heritage Foundation, Rep. Michele Bachmann called the escrow fund "extortion." And Rep. Tom Price said in a statement that President Obama has "no legal authority" to force BP to set aside a damage fund."
If there was ever a question of the GOP being firmly in the pocket of big business it should be clear to anyone now.
Are you kidding me? "Speaking at the Heritage Foundation, Rep. Michele Bachmann called the escrow fund 'extortion.'" Politicians are supposed to have the best interests of their constituents in mind. Apparently it's the oil companies who these Tea Party banner members put first.
Another repub tool.
Michele Bachmann, Tom Price, John Boehner said the American Tax payer should also contribute (So much for TEA Party), Rand Pau and Sarah Palin. His statement is what the majority of Republicans think, but would never say for fear of showing their real faces. The conservative, Libertarian, TEA partier group would completely do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and public education.
Please, I hope no one is surprised by these comments.
Obama should have utilized all that oil well drill equipment kept behind the White House and caped that well himself. The conservatives has protected these companies from paying taxes, why would they think these companies should be paying money from their profits to clean up their own mess.
Extortion? Extortion?!? Are you kidding me??? Spewing millions of gallons of oil, continuously, into the Gulf of Mexico...ignoring safety precautions and cutting corners leading to 11 dead...threatening beaches, wildlife, and livelihoods of hardworking Americans across the gulf...and Barton and Bachmann want to call it extortion?
Wow! Dumbfounded. Unbelievable. Bottom-line, they are backing an irresponsible foreign company over our great country and people. Please, please vote these folks out of office. I thought Republicans loved America? How can you really love America that much if you love BP more?
"Misconstruction"? "Misconstrued"?
Barton's Comments were PREPARED and WRITTEN OUT beforehand.
His were the opening statements! He didn't apologize for anything. I guess he thinks Obama's still a criminal and the escrow fund is a "Slush Fund".
After all, the GOP matra is "drill baby drill". Behined cover, all GOP members are fighting for the big oil companies!
This is confusing. The rebubs want thrir cake and eat it too. Blame Bush and you are playing the blame game. Blame Oboma and you are reflecting the view of real americans. BP and the Govt are both resoponsible but the govt should not pay. $20B is aslush fund, not enough, illegal, it will only goto the unions and Oboma friends, the requlations were inadequate and that caused the spill but in the mean time [forever] drill baby drill] Oboma knew how to fix the leak but refused to it so that the country would heaven forbid finally get serious about oil, Stock holders are entiled to gains but losses should be socilized. What I haven't covered NO NO NO.... will cover

Form pairs. Have partners remove their shoes. Have partners
trade shoes, then stand against a wall. On "go," have children each
put on their partner's shoes backward and run to the end of the
room and back. When kids return, they can trade shoes with their
partner to get their own shoes back. Once partners each have their
own shoes on, they're finished.
After everyone has finished, have kids sit in a circle.
*Say: A well-known saying says "Don't judge another
person until you've walked a mile in his or her shoes." What do you
think this means? How easy or difficult was it to walk in someone
else's shoes?

Anyone seen or got textured jersey tees in stone or black? Are they nice? Looks very thin at least
I agree that returning sucks. They should refund faster.
That's what I was afraid of... Do you have it in black?
http://www.cosstores.com/Archive/Raw-edged_t-shirt/25251-947143.1#1315242 I wish these were still available. Got one but need more.
In black it's a little less seethrough, I've worn it without a tank...
Cos customer service is awful. Returned something about a month ago and it's not returned/refunded yet. Sent tracking code as they asked and now they want me to send another tracking code? Nice robots.
I might buy brushed cotton chinos as well. Already have dark grey brushed cotton shirt and it is great.
Anyone got the jersey bomber jacket? How is it?
Looks quite good there
Cool. I haven't ordered anything (yet). How do you like them Zeemon? Do they fit slightly big or tts? 32" inseam length?
Thank you. Not sure if I'll give them a try. Hopefully they'll add more stuff on sale asap.

There's a bit of a baby boom going on for members of the band Kings of Leon and for anyone claiming the last name "Followill." Drummer Nathan Followill and wife Jessie Baylin will welcome their first baby in December. The news comes just days after Caleb Followill and Lily Aldridge announced the birth of their daughter, Dixie Pearl.
"They are two of the most excited people I know," the band's rep tells Us Weekly.
Nathan, 33, and Baylin, a 28-year-old singer, met at the 2006 Bonnaroo music festival and married in Tennessee in 2009 with celebrity guests including Scarlett Johansson on hand. Guitarist Matthew Followill and wife Johanna Bennnett welcomed a son, Knox, in April 2011.

Basically the idea is to have a lottery for B.A.S.S. Members to get 1 of 8 Golden Ticket's to fish in a tournament, where the winner gets to fish in the Bassmaster Classic. The idea has potential to significantly raise revenue that B.A.S.S, could use to increase the payout at the Classic, in the Elite Series, for B.A.S.S. in general and for conservation. The revenue would depend on how much it costs to get a ticket and how many are sold. You can view the full details at Bass Zone.com
I personally like the idea. Why not have 1 more avenue to reach the Classic for B.A.S.S. Members? It will be interesting to see what B.A.S.S. thinks.
