UTSA scientist honored for agronomy research
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 29, 2008)--Rupali Datta, UTSA assistant professor of environmental science, was awarded the 2007 Early Career Award in Research by the Southern branch of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA) for her outstanding contributions and accomplishments in agronomic research.

The largest agronomic society in the world, ASA has more than 21,000 members representing agronomy, crop science and soil science divisions.
As a founding member of the San Antonio Lead Task Force, Datta's local research involves studying ways to remove lead from soils in the San Antonio area by 2010, a goal set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Her research was instrumental in creating a water and sediment quality database of Mitchell Lake, which was a sludge disposal lagoon in the early 20th century on San Antonio's South Side. The Mitchell Lake Audubon Center opened the site in 2004.
Nationally, Datta was part of a team in 2002 that designed a remediation plan to clean up arsenic from EPA-designated Superfund sites contaminated by hazardous waste and identified for cleanup for their risk to human health and the environment.
As an educator, Datta is associate director of the Environmental Geochemistry Laboratory (EGL) and has supervised or assisted with the research activities of five graduate or post-doctoral fellows in the EGL lab. Since 2002, she has helped generate more than $2 million in grant funding and authored or co-authored more than 110 scientific publications.
Serving more than 5,000 students enrolled in nine undergraduate degree programs and 15 graduate programs, the UTSA College of Sciences is poised to prepare the next generation of scientists for careers in business, technology and academia. The college houses the departments of biology, chemistry, computer science, geological sciences, mathematics, and physics and astronomy.

That's not very nice to say. Plus, do you people know how to spell or are you in preschool, because preschoolers don't know how to spell unless its their own name. Not to be rude or anything, but I think she was a great actress and that she is a big girl and can take care of herself and make her own decisions on her own. She can do whatever she thinks she wants to do that is best for her and her career with my favorite TV cast-NCIS. I mean seriously. Even though my favorite cast members are Tony, Gibbs, and Abby Shutto, and Ducky, I still liked her character as an individual. To me, that's all that matters, I think.

I understand that cote has decided to move on from ncis but i don't know if i can deal with no more tiva! or even Ziva! I just hope they don't kill her off… perhaps we then have a chance of a return? whether that be temporary or permanent! i am a HUGE fan of hers and i look forward to seeing what she does next!

I cant believe she is leaving it is so sad I just don't know what I am going to do because I am a tiva fan and if she leaves I don't know what I am going to do. I really hope they don't kill her off though because if they do I might just have to call up the producers! #tiva fan 4 ever

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment was really nice and clean. There were no problems with handing over the keys to the flat, however a little bit more detailed description on how you can get to the flat would be nice (as the entrance is from the courtyard).
We spent a short break in transit in Poznan. The keys were handed over in an office of a security service in the immediate vicinity. The description and the photos correspond to reality. However, the following comments should be made:
- Ground floor, immediate access without connecting door from the courtyard;
- Bad as described, but spartan;
- When switching on the electric range the main fuse drops, kettle goes;
- Guarded parking 8 - 20 clock, 3 zlotys per hour, about 400 meters away.
The room is very conveniently located to the Old Town and to the center.
Wir haben einen Kurzurlaub auf der Durchreise in Poznan verbracht. Die Schlüsselübergabe erfolgte in einem Büro eines Sicherheitsdienstes in unmittelbarer Nähe. Die Beschreibung und die Fotos entsprechen der Realität. Allerdings sind folgende Bemerkungen zu machen:
- Erdgeschoss, unmittelbarer Zugang ohne Zwischentür vom Hof;
- Bad wie beschrieben, aber spartanisch eingerichtet;
- Beim Einschalten des Elektroherdes fällt die Hauptsicherung ab, Wasserkocher geht;
- bewachter Parkplatz von 8 - 20 Uhr, 3 Zloty pro Stunde, ca. 400 m entfernt.
Das Zimmer ist sehr verkehrsgünstig zur Altstadt und zum Zentrum gelegen.
We were told that the apartment we wanted was not available, but there was one that was even bigger (while our booking was already confirmed). Breakfast turned out to be not included. It was not really a warm-welcome wimdu feeling because it turned out to be an organization for apartment rentings. The lady who gave us the key did not even know where exactly our apartment was (we had to ask neigbours for help). Despite these organizational flaws, the apartment itselfs was great. Perfectly located, clean and spacious for a good price. Once we found the place we had an amazing stay.
Everything in the best order. Great contact and no unpleasant surprises. Flat nice, clean and cozy. I would recommend!
Wszystko w jak najlepszym porządku. Świetny kontakt i żadnych niemiłych niespodzianek. Mieszkanie ładne, czyste i przytulne. Polecam!
Very clean and warm. Is a good location close to the old town, and quite building. Perfect for a group of friends or family.
Just be aware of the code number you need to enter to the building, because we didn´t know at the beggining so we need to call Magdalena very late, but she answered quickly and no problem! :)
Not recommended.
Nicht zu empfehlen.
Super apartment!
Super Wohnung !!!
Nice Appartement in the City Centre, Cinema next door. During our stay there was also an Open Air Cinema on the Square next to the house. Getting and dropping the keys very Easy. Good Place to stay.
Very good contact. Agreements have to work, the host has been in accord with our times, which made it very easy and approachable. Apartment has our entire trip troop liked. Thank you ...

text: I've had an old DP 95 lying around the house for about the last 11 years and I've finally decided to go ahead and convert it into a custom mando bucket. I'm planning to reinforce the interior with fibreglass to prevent the vinal from warping/deforming out of shape and give the helmet ridgidity. So my question is do I still need to install the craft ring I bought? My thinking is that the FG would make the CR pretty redundant, yes/no?:confused

At first glance, Home Sewn exhibition volunteer Heather Clarke seemed to be wearing a white jacket over a scribble-flower print cotton dress. But look closer and ... is the jacket zipped into the dress? How else to explain a flat seam down the front attaching white to scribble flowers?
Clarke good-naturedly showed me the secret: she'd sewn a panel of the dress fabric down the centre of the jacket, so it matched, and also to give the jacket a bit of interest when worn with other clothes. The two pieces weren't attached at all. Very clever way to zhoosh up a jacket.
It isn't only the stationary models who are illustrating the message of the New Zealand Fashion Museum's pop-up exhibition in Britomart: home sewers follow their own styles with flair. These days, people make their own clothes as a statement of identity - because they have "no desire to look readymade", as the museum's director, Doris de Pont, puts it - rather than because it's cheaper. When it comes to sewing, what was once a necessity is now a luxury.
Among the 42 garments on display is a strapless 1950s ball dress of daring cocktail length, with asymmetric decolletage by Naomi "Byllee" McDonald, mother of choreographer Mary-Jane O'Reilly. It shares a podium with a 2011 wedding-guest dress made by 94-year-old Elvera L'Estrange for her daughter, and a hula-girl print 1980 sunfrock, shown backwards as worn by its seamstress (and Fashion Museum trustee) Dianne Ludwig. The exhibition eschews grand explanations; it is like rummaging through an attic dress-up box, while your grandmother chats about who sewed what and why.
The earliest gown on display - an early 1930s bias cut dinner dress - is very of-its-era, but the long floatiness of the crepe de chine and the small floral print means it could be mistaken for a 1990s dress built to contrast with a pair of Doc Martens. (Another exhibition Fashion Treasures, $12 until October 7 at Highwic House in Epsom, curated by Angela Lassig, starts where Home Sewn leaves off, showing garments from the 1920s back to the early 1800s.)
If you've wondered while reading Little Women or Anne of Green Gables what taffeta, satin brocade and silk georgette are, here's your chance to find out. And the prints - particularly in each other's company - are glorious. Vibrant blue, murky turquoise and luminescent purple roses next door to pleats of green rockgarden photoprints.
Only two of the garments are man-made, including one of the show's most intriguing pieces (along with a deconstruction of a magnificent vintage Japanese bridal kimono by Grace Khong Samuelson): it's a grey 2012 dress by Elam student Steven Park, made from a duvet cover screenprinted on the inside, so the dye only just seeps through. The idea is to "encourage us to question what we are seeing", rather than judging "on the basis of outward appearances" - an ironic statement for a fashion garment.
Entry by koha until September 26; DIY fashion parade September 23. www.fashionmuseum.org.nz

Town Square
Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Nov 12, 2006
The Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees called for world support to "End Gaza Carnage." The group charged that Gaza's health system was at "the breaking point" and that the indiscriminate attacks on civilians, including children, "represent a form of reprisals and collective punishment in violation of article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention."
Canadian television reported seeing missiles hurtling into neighborhoods. (CTV, Nov. 3).
Israeli soldiers opened fire on unarmed women. The army later claimed to have film showing that its troops were firing at men hiding among the women, who it said were being used as human shields by gunmen. Tel Aviv claimed that all 57 people killed by its troops in the town—which included a four-year-old child—were "gunmen." Reuters aired film of the first shots being fired; no men were visible in that footage.
Tahrir Shahin, a 36-year-old with seven children, walked for an hour with her sister at dawn to the mosque. Troops shot her in the leg, which later had to be amputated above the knee.
The Israeli military used the opportunity to bulldoze more cultivated land and orchards of lemon and orange groves effectively destroying the livelihood of the farming community. The mayor reported 40 homes were demolished and 400 damaged. Utility poles, water pipes telephone and electricity wires were destroyed. Even tombstones were not spared!
On November 2, Israeli air strike wounded at least seven civilians, including six children. Several hours later eight more Palestinians were killed.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Palestinian Authority Chairperson Mahmoud Abbas denounced the bloody Israeli offensive as "acts of massacre."
There is little doubt that the massacres will trigger reprisals and more innocent Israelis and Palestinians will perish. It is time for all Americans to call an immediate halt to unconditional aid to Israel. Failure to do so, will intensify the anger and put all Americans at risk for the failed policies of our government and the state sponsored terrorism of Israel.

Thanks, Jagjit for enlightening us with your ubalanced, illuminating approach to the issues facing Israel and the Palestinians.
Is this your original writing or have you cut and pasted this from some website?
Too bad you fail to mention the unending rocket attacks on Israel from palestinian territories that have forced Israel to re-enter the Gaza area.
As you will no doubt not admit the Palestinian leaders and the other Arab countries want the Palestinian people to be hungry, poor and being shot at by Israel--how better to fuel the anti-Israel propoganda machine.

I will ignore Jag's "oversight" to mention that except for the last artillery misfire which killed 18 civilians, and for whch Israel apologized, the overwhelming majority of the other 39 killed in the recent days were Hamas and PA militants; in contrast to Jag, even Hamas and PA had no problem admitting it.
But I have a much simpler question for Jag. Given that Israel has left every square inch of the Gaza strip over a year ago, why does Hamas and PA keep firing thousands of Kassam missiles and mortars into Israel since then? Not to mention that they are never aimed at any military targets, but strictly on civilian centers. How would Jag suggest that the Israelis react to that "innocent" Arab shelling from the Gaza strip? Just curious.

Hey guys...lighten up on Jag. I don't want him to get discouraged and stop contributing to this forum. His rants are usually so "over-the-top" that they generate sympathy for the other side and, therefore, have the opposite affect than for which they were intended.
a resident of Greater Miranda
on Nov 14, 2006 at 8:23 am
How true, Steve. I doubt if anyone really takes anything that Jag writes seriously.
he has been doing this for years (in print form pre-forum days), so I doubt anything can discourage or slow him down.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Reviews of this property
Catherine was very very nice and made a wonderful attempt to help us with the aid of an electronic translator. She actually went out of her way to help find a specific gift that I was looking for. Catherine also met us at the train station when we first arrived and showed us the area around the apartment so that we would know where the closest supermarket and food was. The rules of the house are pretty strict, that is, no showers or flushing toilets after 10PM, no breakfast after 9AM (except on Sundays). Overall, Catherine was lovely.
Very warm welcome and very pleasant recommend
Accueil très cordial et cadre très agréable
A recommander
Catherine is a friendly, helpful host. Her penthouse apartment is wonderful with a balcony that has views of the Eiffel Tower. It is very easy to reach the centre of Paris by metro (15 mins) and she explained where we could park our car nearby for free. The breakfast was beautiful and was served with fresh flowers. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you Catherine.
During 5 days I stayed in the B & B. It was very nice stay. Catherine is a good hostess, no effort is too great. She gives you good and help you as much as they can. She gave me a tour around her apartment and gave tips where the good restaurants are. If you fancy a new experience ie staying with a friendly Parisian family is a real winner!
Gedurende 5 dagen heb ik in de B & B verbleven. Het was er zeer leuk vertoeven. Catherine is een goede gastvrouw, geen inspanning is te groot. Ze verzorgt je goed en helpt je zoveel als ze kan. Ze gaf me een rondleiding in de buurt van haar appartement en gaf tips waar de goede restaurants zijn. Als je zin hebt in een nieuwe ervaring nl. een verblijf bij een vriendelijke Parijse familie is het een echte aanrader!
We have a superb stay at catherina and his family. Free parking and 3 minutes walk to the metro. We were very at ease Victor Portanger
Nous avons un séjour superbe chez catherina et sa famille.
Parking gratuit et 3 minutes a pied au metro. Nous étions très a l'aise
Victor Portanger
Catherine was a wonderful hostess. Her home is beautiful, she made us feel very welcome and the breakfast she made for us every morning was wonderful. Our stay with her exceeded my expectations. It was convenient for the metro and it was such a treat to view the Eiffel tower from the balcony whenever we wanted. I hope we can come to Paris again soon and stay in their wonderful place.
Very welcome by the lovely Catherine. Comfortable room and excellent breakfast.
Très bon accueil par la charmante Cathérine. Chambre confortable et excéllent petit déjeuner.
It is was very pleasant to stay on a B & Catherine! The room was very clean, the breakfast very well cared for. The host with the was really enjoyable! Thank you for everything!
C' est etait tres agreable de rester a le B&B de Catherine! Le chambre etait tres propre, le petit dejeuner tres bien soigne.
L'accueil avec le the etait vraiment agreable!
Merci pour tout!
Very nice and helpful host, am completely satisfied and can only recommend Catherine.
Ausgesprochen nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, bin vollstens zufrieden und kann Catherine nur weiterempfehlen.
Catherine is a lovely lady, very kind and bubbly. The room was very comfortable and more than enough for my stay. She also has a lovely family and I was priviledged to meet with a few of them. The views from the balcony are amazing, especially the Eiffel Tower at night, the flat is close to the tube station for easy travel to main Paris attractions. I would definitely recommend Catherine

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="bigblue4417"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]I can't even believe Eli said he blocked good
I can't believe he said he belonged with Tom Brady and the other elite QB's.
WTF was he suppose to say? NO?!
Either way he is in that class regardless. Eli is a top 7 QB in the league, probably #7 but hes def up there.
Maybe #10. At best.

stop it
Rodgers - Breez - Brady - Peyton - Vick def
Eli - Rivers - Ben
nobody else even in the conversation
i'll give u 8 at worst
Peyton, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, Vick, Ben, Ryan are all better QB's right now than Eli.

Right now I think Freeman is about to pass Eli like he's standing still.

Stop being so "Matt-like".

GTFO of here with that MAtt Ryan ****. He may be one of the most over hyped QBs of all time. Quite frankly im sick of hearing baout him
Freeman has ONE good year vs 4k and 30tds
ur on crack
Take the three QB's you say Eli is better than (Ben, Ryan and Freeman) add up all their picks last year and they add up to 5 less than Eli threw by himself.

9 + 6 + 5= 20

Eli = 25

Lets not revisit that again Matt. Even Eli suggested it was unacceptable.

your strengeth of schedule was a brutal point...
ELi had 25 and how many were off of WRs hands and how many were due to wrong routes being run by young receivers
understand the offense and what its asking our QBs and WRs to do...
Then couple in the loss of WRs and having guys in the street come out and play
but besides all of that, if u think qouting Eli taking the blame some how reaffirms your point then not only do u apparently know less about our offense than i thought but Eli in general
What I think is that 25 picks sucks. Every QB has guys deflect balls that get picked. Ryan threw 9 picks. Freeman threw 6. Its not like its close. Even if I give you the point (which I don't) that 7 or 8 balls deflected and were not on Eli, thats still 3 times as many picks as Freeman and twice as many as Ryan.

Turnovers kill a teams chances of winning. Protecting the ball is one of the most important thing a QB must do.

Eli failed.

Lets hope he refocuses his efforts this season and places a higher priority on ball protection. He was reckless with it last year.

i agree turnovers kill
nobody has nearly as many or blatant tips as eli last year. Not many teams run these stupid option read offense to the degrees we do
You failed
Did Mark Brunnell ever throw 25 picks in Gilbride's system? How about Warren Moon?

oh, how lovely that u would even bring that up
90 - Moon 13 INTs
91 - Moon 21 INTs
92 - Moon 12 INTs
93 - Moon 21 INTs
95 - Brunell/Beaurline 14 INTs
96- Brunell 20 INTs

These three TransFair USA curricula are designed to help students understand the concept of fair trade and to highlight its values and significance to farmers and communities. Using familiar imported foods—chocolate, bananas and coffee—as the focus, your students will gain an appreciation for the hard work of the farmer and will feel empowered knowing their consumer choices have real impact on real people.
Curriculum & Resources
As a teacher, helping your students understand foreign policy requires that you explore other cultures and nations and how they relate to the United States. Here are a couple of curriculum options to help you make that connection.
Lessons Plans on Foreign Policy from the Choices Program
How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate
Lesson plans from BRIDGES to Understanding
Artist Xavier Cortada created an installation in Antarctica featuring quotes of people affected by climate change around the world. Creating this installation in a continent with no borders, the artist aims to diminish the man-made barriers in the world above it.
Lesson Plans from the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights
YES! resources for a deeper understanding about consumption, our materials-based economy, and alternative ways of living.
How students can tell big companies like World's Finest Chocolate that they demand an end to abusive child labor practices, and that they want to buy products that are Fair Trade Certified.
Resources to accompany the January/February 2008 Education Connection newsletter on The Story of Stuff and Consumption: Facing the Future, The Center for Ecoliteracy, UNESCO, and Redefining Progress.
Curriculum tools and resources from the Voices in Wartime Education Project.
Resources to accompany the December 2007 Education Connection newsletter on Teaching Peace: PeaceJam, Teaching Tolerance, Educators for NonViolence, Oxfam Education: Darfur-Teaching the Issues.
Are you being recruited? Are recruiters giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision about joining the military? Do you have other options? These questions should be filtering through your mind while trying to understand what it means to be a young American.
Curricula and other resources for teaching peace.
Want to take action, but don't know where to start? Start here! The following is a list of organizations that support both teachers and students in their efforts to create positive environmental change.

As mentioned I only have a gen 1 ProMag and a gen 2 AGP, thay are both nicely made but I like the look of the ProMag better with that waffle pattern on it.How is the new Gen 2 compared to AGP mags
How bad were they?I hope these fit with no problems. The Gen 1 didn't fit at all.
I only got one of the first gen ones and had to take a little off with a couple passes of a file.
Look at this thread, mainly the last two pics in the first post, this is the area I had to touch up too.
As mentioned I only have a gen 1 ProMag and a gen 2 AGP, thay are both nicely made but I like the look of the ProMag better with that waffle pattern on it.How is the new Gen 2 compared to AGP mags
I have AGPs also. They worked good from day 1.
However, I really like the new Gen 2 Promags because of its waffle design and its one piece mag body, no screws like the AGP.
My test on the two replacements I received went T.U. The mag body is the same, and still requires fitting. Neither functioned and failed to feed on the second round in both mags. Popped my AGP in and finished the day with 200 rounds fired without a hickup. They still have some work to do to catch up with AGP. The big thing I see is the type of plastic they are using. It does not self lubricate like glass filled nylon. I will try some graphite or dry film moly to see if they improve. If they do, It will validify my assumption about the plastic. Not something I would trust my life with.
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
The SOBs got me twice, never again.
I do want to also add that I recently had worked done on my bolt and carrier such that I can load a full mag with the bolt closed. So part of the credit goes to that work.
if i was to hang my gun on the wall to just look at i would keep a promag in there.
however i like to use my gun, all promags i have used have been absolute garbage. they do not feed, and the follower sticks out too far causing the bolt to slam into it.
there is supposed to be a method of boiling and corking them to get them to work. too much trouble for an inferior product.
get some agps or surefires.

Free Samples of our Children's Sermons
Luke 13:1-9
I'll Do Better Next Time
Exegetical Aim: To explain that God is patient with us when we don't live as we should.
Props: Crayons, a blank sheet of paper, and a little bit of artistic talent (but not much). On your sheet of paper draw a jumbled picture of a house, tree, and landscape, but make all the colors appropriate to the object. Draw the horizon. Put the roof''s flat side on the horizon. Then on the tip of the roof, place the frame of the house upside down so that the door is up and the windows are down. You've got the picture now. Place the trees and birds in awkward places and draw the sun square. Draw a stick person walking on the sun. That should do it!
Lesson: Place the drawing face down. This morning, I want to show you a picture I drew. I'm really proud of it. I worked really hard. It's a picture of my house on a sunshiny day. I mean it's got sunshine, a pretty house, trees, and birds in it. You want to see it? (response) Show the children the drawing. Isn't this great! (response) Do you like it? (response) What? (response) No, no, no, there's nothing wrong here. Here's my roof on the ground. (response) Doesn't the roof belong on the ground? (response) It doesn't? Where does it belong? (response) Okay, I'll remember that. The roof belongs on the top of the house. I'll do better next time.
Well, what about the sun? It's just shining! (response) What? (response) While they are shouting out it's square or it's supposed to be round, continue with your thoughts. I don't understand. (response) Interrupt them. No, look, it's shining nice and bright and making the grass grow. (response) What's wrong? (response) You mean, it's not supposed to be square? (response) It's supposed to be round? (response) Okay, I'l remember that. The sun is supposed to be round. I'l do better next time.
Well, this one is neat. This is me up here walking on the sun. (response) What? (response) You mean this is wrong too? (response) I got it all wrong, didn't I? (response)
Okay, I need to remember this. Point to the objects as you remember your corrections. The house goes under the roof and the roof on top of the house. And I'm not supposed to be walking on the sun. That's all wrong. I need to be down here on the grass. And the next time I draw the sun, I need to make it round not square. I'll do better next time.
Application: Sometimes we do get things all mixed up in life. Do you ever fight with your friends? (response) Have you ever been stingy and refused to share with your brother or sister? (response) Did you know that from time to time your mom and dad get things all mixed up and they get mad at each other? (response) When we fight and say bad things, our lives are all mixed up hold up the drawing like my picture. We need to do better.
I want you to know that God loves us all and is patient with us. And when we fight and act ugly, he is waiting for you and me to straighten up our lives. Now I will remember to put the roof and the sun and the little stick person in the right places next time. And I want you to remember not to fight with one another, not to be ugly, and to do as God asks: to love one another.
Let's Pray: Father, we make mistakes so we ask for your forgiveness, but help us all to do better next time. Amen.
SAMPLE No. 2
John 17:20-26
Be One
Exegetical Aim: Christian Unity.
Props: Dollar sets taken out and dropped on a loud metal tray in the following order: 100 pennies, 20 nickels, 10 dimes, 4 quarters, and a dollar bill. Try to place each set in a different pocket.
Lesson: I have a dollar in my pocket and it has been rather difficult carrying it around. Take the pennies out of your pocket and drop them slowly on the tray. Create as much sustained noise as possible. Try speaking over the noise. They make a lot of noise and they are difficult to keep up with. Some of them actually get lost from time to time. They are a real burden to carry, too, because they are heavy.
Remove the pennies from the tray. So I thought I would try to bring the dollar together, so I started carrying around these. Take the nickels from your other pocket and drop them slowly on the tray. The dollar has been a little easier to keep up with. Some of them still get lost, and they continue to make quite a bit of noise. They're still a bit of burden though.
Remove the nickels from the tray. I thought it would be easier if the dollar could be carried around like this. Start dropping the dimes. Drop a dime at a time. They don't make as much noise, and I can keep up with them but occasionally I lose one. They aren't nearly as heavy though.
Remove the dimes from the tray. Finally it occurred to me that this would be the best way to keep my dollar together. Drop the quarters one at a time. There's only four of them, and I rarely lose any. And even though these make a big noise, it doesn't last very long. So, do you think this is the best way to carry around a dollar? (response) Why not? (you need a dollar bill) But these four quarters are a dollar. (a paper dollar)
Application: I want you to listen to a prayer that Jesus prayed. He said, "I pray for all those who believe in me that they may be one." What did Jesus mean by that? (response) You're right. There are so many Christians in the world, and some of them live in America, some live in Africa, and some live in Russia. There are Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians. There are so many they are hard to keep up with and they actually get lost from time to time. There are also a lot of Christians in this church of ours. Sometimes they can be difficult to deal with because they make a lot of noise and sometimes they're even a real burden.
Remove the quarters from the tray. You said I needed a dollar bill. Did you mean like this? Drop the dollar bill on the tray. You're right. That is a lot easier.
Let's Pray: I pray that these children will be one; that they will bring the church together; and that they will be a witness to this world. Amen.

I have been wanting to try screened bottom boards but Im not to sure how they work. Do you have to have sticky paper or some sort of trap under it or can you just have the screen? What size of screen do you use to make it?
The way I was going to try was attaching the screen to he bottom of the hive and putting the bottom board on after. Will this work?


text: October 24 -- For decades, the lack of a sensible U.S. transportation fuels policy hampered our ability to develop alternatives to oil's stranglehold on the market. That all changed when the Renewable Fuel Standard was implemented in George W. Bush's second term. With the support of the RFS, biodiesel, America's leading advanced biofuel, has grown from barely a blip to an annual billion gallon market. It is creating jobs, advancing energy security, and reducing carbon and other pollutants – just as the RFS was intended. With the six-year-old policy hitting its stride, predictably, the international oil industry is howling for repeal. And now some on Capitol Hill believe the EPA and/or Congress are poised to respond by either lowering renewable fuels requirements for 2014 or possibly permanently altering the RFS. >>View Article

Anyone else notice this on Metropolis?[ Edited ]
I was just using Dante in Practice mode on the Metropolis stage, and it progressed to the God of War mashup. The stage was arranged so that the conveyor belt was split in two by a grinder pit that has a floating platform hovering over it.
I did Dante's Level 2 on the left conveyor belt, facing right. I thought he was going to stop right before he hit the pit in the middle...but to my surprise, a temporary platform was formed over the grinder just as I did my Level 2, allowing me to dash to the other side of the map unharmed.
I tried this with other Supers (like Dante's Level 1) and it worked the same way; that little platform formed temporarily and remained for the duration of my Super. And opponents can stand on it too, so you can time it so that you catch someone right as they're about to land into the spikes (or so they think). The platform will catch them and most likely get you the kill if you time it properly.
My bad if this is something that's been well known for a while; just thought I'd give you guys a heads up about it!

yah. The platform opens up whenever A lvl 2 is activated.
I tried it with Dante's Level 1 & it worked too. Haven't tried them all but I'm assuming it's this way with all supers.

Re: Anyone else notice this on Metropolis?
It stays for the duration of all supers because a super makes you invulnerable to all stage hazerds. (Ment to anyway)

12 Signs You're A 1D Superfan!
In his first performance since recovering from his scary hospitalization, Austin looked back and better than ever at the MTV EMAs, where he performed his new single Banga, Banga! Not only did he totally rock the house with his catchy new track, he also snagged the fan-voted award for Artist on the Rise!
"I've been in my bed for the past two weeks on YouTube, studying Chris Brown, Usher, Michael Jackson and all those guys and I've just been chilling. Slowly getting back to the gym and dancing, so I feel good and I am excited to perform my new single," Austin said about prepping for his performance.
Being a 17-year-old heartthrob, it's probably not super hard for Austin to snag his dream lady. But the pop star (currently single!) gave us a pickup line that we would no doubt fall for: "I would go up to a girl and I would say, "hey—do u know how much a polar bear weighs?" And she'd be like no, and I'd say, "Enough to break the ice—I'm Austin Mahone". I mean really, does it get any cuter?! Swoon.

Hey there Swiftie! So as you may have seen on the forums or in my blogs, I'm writing to you today to personally invite you to join me in a fun little project that is already well under way.
To make a long story short (and if you want the long, detailed version you can check out the official project page in my blogs): We, meaning myself and hundreds of Swifties from Taylor Connect are currently in the process of making Official Unofficial Lyric Video for the song "Red". Why, you might ask? To both celebrate the dawn of the Red era and to show the one and only Taylor Swift just what all of this means to us, the fans of course!! After everything she does for us, this will be our way of doing something back for her.
Interested? Excited? Confused? Tired? Fighting an uncontrollable urge to scream out loud that you are, in fact, a little teapot (handle, spout and all!)? Well, first things first, the best way to understand what we're doing is to see the original inspiration for this project, courtesy of the folks behind the Broadway Musical "Title of Show"
Now, take that idea and apply it to Red!! So far, the creativity people have been bringing to the table has been beyond incredible and now I would like to offer you your own chance to get in on the action. Just respond to this message expressing your interest, and you can be a part of this amazing opportunity to unite with your fellow Swifties as, with one voice, we celebrate the dawn of the Red era!! Let's give this album and the beautiful artist behind it the welcome they deserve! You might want to hurry though: there are officially less than 10 words left to give out and they are going FAST! So send me a message and join up!
I haven't added this to my profile yet

You may find the Amur leopards in any of our middle habitats in KeyBank Big Cat Falls. They time share the Puma, Jaguar and Leopard exhibits with several of our other inhabitants at the Big Cat Falls area.
KeyBank Big Cat Falls
An Amur leopard's fur is reddish-yellow in the summer and becomes lighter in the winter to blend in with the snow. The hairs of their pelt also change length from summer 0.5 inches(1.3 cm) - 2 inches (5.1 cm). In the winter season the length of their pelt is 3 inches (7.6 cm) in order to keep them warm. They have long legs which allow them to walk through the snow easily. Can you tell a jaguar, snow leopard and Amur leopard apart? All of them have spots, but an Amur leopard's spots are widely spaced rosettes with thick borders.
Amur leopards have a typical lifespan of 17-18 years in zoos. Their lifespan in the wild is not known, but is likely to be shorter than in zoos.
Amur leopards reach sexual maturity at the age of 3. Breeding season is between January and February. The mother carries the babies for approximately 90-105 days. An average of one to six cub is born per litter. The cubs are weaned at 3 months, but remain with their mother until they are between 18-24 months old.
As with most cats, Amur leopards are solitary. In the wild, they hunt and eat alone. They are also primarily nocturnal so they may be less active when you see them at the Zoo during the day.
At KeyBank Big Cat Falls, you'll notice the mesh at the top of the exhibit. There is a good reason for that! Amur leopards are very good climbers and will descend headfirst down a tree. They can leap 20 feet (609 cm) horizontally and 10 feet (304 cm) vertically. Amur leopards are also strong swimmers.
Head and body length are 3.5-4.5 ft (1.07-1.36 cm). They measure 25-30 in (64-78 cm) tall. Their tail measures 32-35 in (82-90 cm).
Males may weigh 70-105 pounds (32-48 kg) and females may weight between 55-94 pounds (25-43 kg).
In the wild, the primary prey of the Amur leopard are roe and sika deer, hares and badgers. At the Zoo, they are fed a diet that includes a commercial meat mix, solid beef and bones; the diet is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of each animal. A beef shank bone is offered once a week. In addition to food, the shank bones provide exercise for the animal's jaw muscles.
The Amur leopard inhabits a small border area between northeastern Russia and China along the Amur-Ussuri region. The Amur river runs through this region.
On the 2013 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the Amur leopard is listed as Critically Endangered.
The Philadelphia Zoo works with partners and colleagues around the world to save wildlife. From South America to Asia to Africa, these projects are conducting research, protecting habitat, educating communities and building capacity. We are proud to support them and the important work they do.
Amur leopards suffer from habitat loss, persecution by local villagers and depletion of prey sources due to over-hunting. Amur leopard populations number at 70, making them perhaps the most endangered large cat in the world.
Tigris Foundation programs support anti-poaching efforts, forest fire-fighting, population monitoring and habitat analysis among other measures needed to protect these magnificent cats.
Learn more about the conservation efforts at the Philadelphia Zoo.

isn't that what it actually means? Oil and gas industry?
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Fiber Optics Wins, Routing Loses in Needham Cloud Think Piece
Needham & Co. analyst Alex Henderson, who covers shares of Ciena (CIEN) and JDS-Uniphase (JDSU) in the fiber optic market, and Juniper Networks (JNPR) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) in the networking field, today offers up a 12-page think piece titled "teaching elephants to dance" about the implications of cloud computing for the phone companies.
Henderson opines about who will be the winners and losers among the "dance instructors" who help those fumbling elephants.
The discussion involves mention of a raft of privately-backed startups, including Zscalar, Puppet Labs, and Cumulus Networks.
According to Henderson, Verizon Communications (VZ), Japan's NTT-Docomo, Deutsche Telekom (DT), and other service providers, are rapidly trying to "virtualize" their networks to compete with Amazon.com (AMZN), Google (GOOG), and other new-style data center providers who are going "over-the-top" to compete with traditional managed and hosted services.
The core data center virtualization is occurring rapidly and much faster than many expected. Companies ranging from Verizon to Deutsche Telekom to NTT are moving rapidly to a virtualized architecture based on commercial off the shelf components where the applications are abstracted away from the hardware they are running on. Sound familiar? It should, as this is exactly what occurred with private cloud over the last decade. Service Providers want the same low cost generalized hardware, the same per application virtualization and application isolation, and the same on demand capacity flexibility enterprises have been demanding for the same reasons. It lowers costs and improves agility. In the enterprise arena, this is called virtualization, and in the Software Defined Data Center in the Service Provider Market this is called Network Function Virtualization. Not surprisingly, Service Providers are seeing the same need for flow-based traffic as enterprises and as a result, Service Providers are also integrating Software Defined Networking into the architectural vision. The transition to NFV and SDN was dramatically highlighted by AT&T recently with their announcement of the Domain 2.0, which specifically stated their goal of moving to a virtualized, NFV and SDN based design based on COTS components and hardware and rejecting the legacy of OSMINE compliance and traditional telecom standards. We believe the choice of Tail-f and MetaSwitch as domain leaders punctuated the massive shift in the thinking of AT&T. When we wrote about Tail-f at last year's Interop, virtually no one in the investment community had ever heard of them. Yet, here they are at the center of AT&T Data Center strategy.
He notes the efforts of some carriers to build new kinds of "cloud to cloud" links, such as BT, whose efforst he highlights in a slide (click for larger image):
Overall, cloud computing of the kind Amazon and Google offer will take over one third of IT by 2020, he notes:
The immediate consequences of all that will be more distributed data centers, writes Henderson, and the rise of technologies such as carrier-grade ethernet:
Broadly speaking, we expect a Data Center based services delivery from scaled out Data Centers with globally distributed content allowing local access and processing. Conventional designs based on centralized access enablement, authorization, and security are likely to give way to highly distributed approaches. Each application will likely reside in its own virtualized network with its own vSwitching, vRouting, vADCs, vSecurity (application isolation). Carrier-Grade Optical Ethernet provides high band width flattened pipes into the enterprise, residential and wireless users. It should go without saying; it is almost certainly an all Ethernet based network with full meshed topologies. We see the optical plane absorbing much of the layer 2 processing control and we see routing becoming more and more absorbed by the virtualization layer.
As far as winners and losers, optical vendors will be in a good position he thinks -- presumably Ciena and JDS-Uniphase, given he has Buy ratings on both stocks, though he doesn't say so specifically; router vendors, on the other hand, are most threatened by all this, he thinks, without specifying who, though he has Hold ratings on both Juniperand Cisco:
Optical and Component Companies are major beneficiaries. Network-as-a-Service players should emerge as big winners. Orchestration and control plane software companies ranging from Vello to Puppet Labs should emerge as critical enablers. We think many branded IT companies are hurt by these trends, with the routing players in the most difficult position. We also think APM/NPM and Visibility Fabric and meta-data based diagnostics such as Splunk and Extra-Hop are big beneficiaries. The "DPI" companies if they can virtualize smoothly should also be well positioned.
Henderson includes a graphic of the new-style metro optical rings:
He also digs into the details of the movement known as 'Network-as-a-Service (NaaS):
The shift to cloud-centric deliver models is also driving the rapid emergence and the massively disruptive transition to Network as a Service (NaaS) platforms. Perhaps the best example of this is Zscaler, but there are numerous companies such as Cloudflare, Aryaka and Pertino positioning into the NaaS market. We recently caught up with Zscaler at the RSA security trade show. The head of IT of United Airlines was presenting its reasons for choosing Zscaler for its operations. First, we were impressed that such a senior IT manager of United would take time to present at a tradeshow for an IT vendor. Second, we were highly impressed with their presentation and the savings they are achieving by realizing the benefit of distributed cloud based services delivery. Zscaler allows United Airlines to avoid hair-pinning all its traffic back to United's data centers in order to provide user access, security and content to its employees globally. Pretty soon when you log into any United computer in any United travelers club globally, you will be served from the distributed Zscaler cloud.

I picked it up for pretty cheap and it has had this problem since I bought it about 2k miles ago. Initially when I bought it I didn't feel anything the transmission shifted perfect through all gears, but on the way home about an hour drive after the trans began to warm up and the trans temp gauge began to register it started shifting very hard. It shifts late and hard almost always now, but occasionally it will shift perfect usually when its cold. I pull a car trailer with it and it doesn't slip or anything under normal driving conditions, I have however been able to get it to slip if I go to WOT while on the interstate. As long as I drive normal and don't floor it with the trailer and jeep hooked up it doesn't slip though, it downshifts up inclines and shifts back into overdrive with no issues except that the hard shifting. I have tried doing some research but have not found anything that sounds like what mine is doing. It almost like the computer thinks the engine is at wide open throttle and that's why it shifts so hard. Any input or help would be appreciated. I'm a poor college student, I'm hoping its fixable without rebuilding or replacing the tranny. Thanks - - - Updated - - - I should also add that the transmission always runs cool well below 200 degrees, it usually stays around 150 even when towing. The fluid visually looks fine, red, doesn't smell burnt at all.

Do you have experience building Microsoft Access 2010 databases, but want to take your skills to the next level? In this course, you'll build an entire database project from scratch. By the time you've completed the course, you'll have a fully functional database that tracks customer and order information.
You'll start by learning how to create your new database by importing information from Excel spreadsheets into tables. Using action queries, you'll add and update key fields that allow you to build relationships among the tables. Then you'll master the steps for building complex yet easy-to-use forms to manage table data.
The course offers you tips and techniques for optimizing your database, including ways to build crosstab and summary queries so you can access information quickly and easily. You'll also learn about outer table joins that can make you queries more effective.
Once you've built your database, you'll examine how to build reports using conditional formatting to highlight key data points, and explore Visual Basic, a powerful programming language that allows you to automate simple and complex tasks. Finally, you'll put the finishing touches on your database as you build a navigation form to make it easy for your users to find what they need.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.

I have recommended this course to colleagues and they will be taking it in the next few weeks. This was very helpful and I can't wait to put my knowledge to use.
This course enabled me to understand the databases that I deal with on a daily basis much better. I now can name the elements of the database our organization that I thought could be improved for easier, more efficient use! Wow, I've come a long way! Thanks!
I really enjoyed this course! Thank you for offering it and sharing your knowledge with me! There were so many things in Access 2010 that I wasn't aware of. I love these courses because I always learn something new. I especially liked the last three chapters, and you can be sure that I'll start incorporating simple dialog boxes into my present databases now that I have a little understanding of VBA.
I enjoyed this course very much -- it definitely was challenging to do the assignments on my own to see if I could apply the lesson techniques explained in the chapter work. I would like to get more training on the actual expressions and criteria to filter reports/analysis - perhaps a future Access 2010 Advanced course would be available. The instructor was very responsive and was able to clarify any discussion questions. I appreciate the FAQs provided with each lesson as well as the supplemental resources. I have not taken an online course previously and had concerns over not having a hands-on instructor as with a classroom setting. Those concerns diminished as the course went on as the material was very descriptive and the diagrams/examples extremely helpful in completing the lessons. Thank you for the opportunity to expand my knowledge base with Access 2010.
I finished the whole course including the final exam. I liked the final exam because it summarized many of the important aspects of this whole course. This is an excellent course and you did a great job. I feel much more comfortable in working with Access and building my own database now.
Thank you Ken. This class was a great opportunity for me to understand more of what I can do at work and what other possibilities there are in adding to my databases. Your instructions were clear on a step by step process, I thank you for that. I learned way more than I expected. I will keep practicing all that I learned. I will also keep checking back to see if you offer an advanced course in Access.
My company had a couple of databases written by an IT person years ago. He no longer wanted to support us when we had problems with the database, so I felt the need to learn more about Access than just being able to input data into his programs. This course has been helpful, and now I'm building databases for others to use. The knowledge obtained has given me more confidence in finding and fixing problems within our old programs. I'm now looking at taking a Visual Basic course for more knowledge. Thank you, Ken Cook, you're terrific!
Ken Cook is an excellent instructor. The lesson design, assignments and quizzes were exceptional. The information in the learning aids was challenging yet easy to understand. He was very helpful throughout the course and provided timely feedback to questions/issues. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning Microsoft Access and learned a lot. I feel that I can build an efficient and practical database for anyone for any purpose because of what I learned taking this course. Good job, Ken. You know the subject very well, and you know how to teach it.
I really enjoyed this course, and I feel it will be very useful in my job. I've already used portions of what I've learned to develop a more sophisticated database for a work project, and now have the skills to share it with users unfamiliar with Access. I felt Mr. Cook was very knowledgeable, and I would be happy to take another course with him.

Recent reviews
Good 3.5 /5 from 54 reviews
It was a very nice experience. Good price, daily buffet is not very varied, especially the desserts (fruit and a few flan, more ice cream), but everything was very well prepared and tasty. Really close to the beach. Internet doesn´t work very well. Staff is very nice!
Wow what else can i say staff first class sauna amazing hot tub in flat.food first class will deffo be going back
The hotel is not anything near 4 stars. The air condition did not work well and it was too warm in the room despite the weather was not extremely hot. A special concern is bathroom: so small that 2 people can barely fit there at all, old-fashioned, rather small towels of dirty-grey color... The hotel has a policy to charge your card already at arrival, which is unpleasant, we think. WiFi works but costs. The staff was helpful but that cannot remedy the above mentioned drawbacks. The price was too high for this level of comfort.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Euphemism for the situation where one enters into a room catching a man doggy-style with an obese woman. Specifically, the woman clenches in surprise trying to get up while the man suddenly pulls out - he ejaculates upward and flinches. The image is much like one of a man riding a trash can down a wintry street doing his best to hang on and avoid getting snow spray in his eyes.
While Jim was banging that fat girl from behind we all ran in the room and scared him. He jumped up and gizzed everywhere while she tried to buck him off; it looked like he was trying to ride a trash can down a snowy street.

Filled with passion, love, jealousy and deceit, the story of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera captured the world's imagination. Told in the voice of Frida's sister, Christina, who is witness to their tumultuous marriage, this is a brilliantly conceived work of fiction and a vivid portrait of a compelling, unique woman.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

"Fascinating and well written"
What a story! Truth is stranger than fiction
The turbulent relationship with Diego
All of them
So many
Highly recommended
A true story
Well written
Beautifully portrayed
"La Su-Frida Vida de Frida"
Excelente novela biográfica. La idea de narrarla a través de la hermana de Frida (Cristina) durante sesiones ficticias de psicoterapia, permite plantear una perspectiva de Frida, en la que no es una mártir, santa o heroína, sino una mujer con su lado brillante y obscuro.
La narración de Adriana Sananes, para variar, no deja nada que desear.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just wanted to take a second:
As I look to the left at my avatar I see that I am around 300 posts on this forum (I only belong to one other forum and that is a law enforcement one and I dont have this many posts there!) I have been posting here since about 2-3 weeks prior to adding Hero to our home. I have asked easily a hundred questions if not more and this community is ALWAYS there with answers, links to help me find the answers, videos, pictures, or any other critics/help/advice that is needed for me. Now I know I am not the only one that thinks this or feels this way. I check this site every day and see new people and even some seasoned vets here asking questions every day and without missing a beat, theres always help there. So I wanted to take a few minutes and just thank everyone here for all the help and support that you guys give!! Whether I am having a bad day and seeing your pups cheered me up, Hero is doing something new and I need to know about it, or anything that pops up to do with anything you guys are always here. I know that is the general gist of a forum community but you guys are so tight knit and always make me feel so welcome! I even accidentally won a book from Shepherd Girl (which I received and started reading tonight and its great!) on here and had it sent to my house. I didnt opt in for the Christmas card swap but I can GARUNTEE that I will be in on that next year!! So from just your average guy, curious and eager to learn I want to thank EVERYONE here! From the admins and seasoned vets to the newbies with those adorable brand new puppy pics . THANK YOU SO MUCH! I appreciate everything as I am certain many of us here do, and YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Book Description
Finally, a multi-disciplinary approach that covers both the surgical and non-surgical interventions for sleep apnea and snoring. From the editor of Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology, this new reference will quickly become the standard in surgery for this key area within otolaryngology. ., Full-color line drawings illustrate key concepts and create a comprehensive way of learning surgical techniques.
- Provides consistent, templated chapters and a contemporary, full-color format for quick, easy access to the most up-to-date surgical and non surgical interventions for sleep apnea and snoring.
- Includes contributions from leaders in neurology, pulmonology, psychiatry, otolaryngology, and oral & maxillofacial surgery. to create a truly multi-disciplinary approach.
- Covers new and innovative procedures including ZPP (Zeta palatopharyngoplasty), Transpalatal Advancement Pharyngoplasty and Minimally invasive submucosal glossectomy
- Details when and why surgery is necessary, and how to perform a successful operation for snoring and sleep apnea.
Editorial Reviews
Compared with some more of the general otolaryngology books (i.e. Head and Neck Surgery – Otolaryngology 4th edition, Bailey et al. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006) and Cummings Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 4th edition, Cummings et al. (Elsevier, 2005)), this one does an excellent job of not only describing procedures but also providing appropriate diagrams to accompany them. Procedures such as implant techniques, while not necessarily highly thought of in the otolaryngologic community, are at least mentioned and presented objectively. This is a convenient source to have, as many of the commonly employed techniques are well illustrated and explained. Further detail for procedures may require looking elsewhere, but as an overview or refresher, I can see this being helpful. – Doody's, 3 stars***

For anyone who has been wanting to tell Woodland one thing it could do to most improve the city, now is their chance.
In an effort to make Woodland's General Plan Update 2035 a true reflection of the community's vision, every household will receive a short survey soliciting input by the end of the month.
City staff expects the 22,230 surveys to reach every home in the city between March 27 and 29.
"This effort for some people could be another bit of paperwork, but it's really so much more than that," said consultant Heidi Tschudin, General Plan project manager. "This is so important for the city that we're striving to get people's (opinions) early and often. It's not like voting once."
In addition to the document's single, open-ended question -- what is the one thing the city could do that would most improve Woodland -- there are others pinpointing priorities.
The survey questions -- in both English and Spanish -- are targeted, asking residents for their input on the highest priority items the city should put its efforts toward, such as focusing on new industries and employers or preserving environmental resources, for example.
Residents are asked to rate their level of support for various types of development in the city, types of jobs to recruit and the best ways for the city to generate the revenue needed to support the city's programs, services and maintenance.
"Public input is essential for capturing the long-term vision of the community," said Principal Planner Cindy Norris. "We want everyone to feel they have an equal say. If you really want to have your view heard -- which we wholly encourage -- we're offering as many alternative methods as possible."
Those who prefer to fill out the survey online may do so beginning March 27 on the city's website, cityofwoodland.org.
According to Tschudin, not every community updating its general plan is required to send out a survey, but noted it was a priority for Woodland's City Council and staff to do so to ensure the General Plan represents as many of the citizens as possible, especially since the project's timeline is "compressed."
"(For the survey to) go out to every home in the city for their opinions is very exciting," she said. "It's almost like a direct democracy. We hope we get a really good turn out."
Other options for the community to voice their vision are planned in the form of forums and workshops. People are also welcome to simply send staff a note of their ideas, priorities or concerns on the city's General Plan website, which may be linked to on the city's home page, cityofwoodland.org.
The General Plan Update website includes notices, findings, and will have the tabulated results of the household survey. Reports from the previous city stakeholder interviews will be posted in the next week.
The next community input workshop is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, April 11 at the Community & Senior Center, 2001 East St., or 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 13, at City Hall in the Council Chambers, 300 First St.
Facilitators will glean from participants what they love about Woodland, changes they would like to see and their vision for the next 20 years.
Families and children are welcome.
"The success of the Woodland General Plan Update relies on involvement of the whole community," said Mayor Skip Davies in a letter introducing the household survey. "In order for the new Plan to reflect the community's goals and ideas, we must hear from you."

We also just added a Japanese Knife Sharpening Facebook Social Store to our FB page where you can now order some of our products directly through FB. It's a cool new feature that our shopping cart made available to us at no extra cost so I thought I'd try it out and see what happens.
Look for future "deals of the day" and other promotions to be posted there!

Shish-Ka-Bitch is a term used when a man (Very Well Endowed), has sex with a woman in the doggy style position. The term comes when he inserts into one end of the female, and he also exits at the oposite end of the female. (Like a Shish-Ka-Bob on the BBQ) This term was first introduced Sept 12th 2008 in Ocean City MD. It has been documented on a few rare ocasions that it has worked. One Such time was Robert G (Born Sept 30th 1977 in Point Pleasant NJ)was with a midget stripper named Little Pixie and preformed the Shish-Ka-Bitch manover. Case studys are now being performed by the science department at Cal Tech, and the University of Arizona. Updates will follow
He was so big it came out her mouth and she looked like a Shish-Ka-Bitch. Rob was so large he bent her over and it came out her mouth and she looked like a Shish-Ka-bob (Bitch)
