Corbett links teachers' unions to failing schools
There are 16 comments on the York Dispatch story from May 10, 2011, titled Corbett links teachers' unions to failing schools. In it, York Dispatch reports that:Pennsylvania's public schools have focused too much on teacher contracts and not enough on curriculum, Gov.

I want to know how many schools Corbett has been in. He obviously has never been in my school. We spend hours improving our curriculum and making our classrooms student centers. How will taking away our funding improve our teaching? That just means that our students will lose music, art, gym, after school sports, etc. I don't think that will make me a better teacher- I think it will make my life a little harder, because I will have unhappy students. I support public education, I am public education, yet on this path I don't want my children in public education. This will only eliminate public education. This is so backwards.
#2 May 11, 2011
Corbett sites giving all students acces to private or charter schools. Does that mean any student can go to these schools regardless of admission standards? Cutting funding to public schools eliminates extra curricular activities that make students academically competitive. Isn't Corbett trying to instill competiveness? Cutting funding eliminates needed educators, it does not improve an educators performance. This needs to be managed at the district level, not as an issue for funding.

I think it's important to note that schools are not the only important part of education. Books are, too.
If students or parents are unhappy with public libraries, does the governor want to have the state pick up the bill for them to get whatever reading materials they want at their local Border's or Barnes & Noble bookstore?
#4 May 12, 2011
Teachers in my district are very aware of curriculums (elementary and secondary) to which the standards must be taught. We've been forced to place our professional judgments, philosophies and strategies aside for frequent testing, testing and more testing. Many textbooks were eliminated and new teaching methods implemented. I'm not against change, but then don't blame us when these measures aren't working. We're not as free in our classooms as many people may think. Gifted, talented teachers are having their hands tied. The union doesn't have the rope. Put blame where it belongs. And...on another note, merit pay is so unrealistic. Am I to be judged by a child's attitude toward learning, or family problems that are causing him to not do well, even though I'm doing my very best? Bottom line: American children are the ones who stand to lose in what has become an educational tug of war. Thank you.

You take your car to the garage, and after doing without the car for days and paying a large bill, you find out that the car still isn't fixed. Do you say, "It must be car's fault; the mechanic did his best"?
I don't, and I don't think you do, either. If you can't do the job, then I WILL judge "your very best" to not be good enough.
If we're going to accept slipshod work, then there's no reason NOT to replace teachers with $8/hour burger flippers. My argument in favor of paying teachers adequately is based on the premise that we need adequate teachers.

How many of you realize that we are in the beginning of an economic downturn that will make the Great Depression look welcoming? This is the reality that our government knows ... but NO ONE wants to talk about!
The only reason why we don't see it are the massive federal and state entitlement programs ... that are keeping millions of folks off of the bread lines. Unfortunately, the money is starting to run out as the Federal government reaches the limits of its borrowing and the state government is forced to maintain a balanced budget. In short, education is being crowded out by entitlement spending.
As an elected member of a governing body within Penn State, I am seeing the cuts in education funding first hand. As a product of PUBLIC education, I have deep feelings about this conflict!
30 years ago, my wife left her job as a TENURED teacher because declining enrollments left her without a job (last in, first out)... so I know that side of the story, as well!
Having said that ...
There needs to be academic competition among schools ... just like there is in athletics. Currently, public schools are local monopolies whose workers (tenured teachers) are not directly accountable to the citizens. In order for the schools to be motivated to change, they need competition!
My kids grew up in Bergen County New Jersey. They had the choice to attend their local high school or apply to a county magnet school that was part of the Vo-Tech system. You would be surprised how much this minimal level of competition caused the local high school to improve the level of education that they provided to their students!
This school wasn't like York VoTech ... this school was all about academics ... with career academies in Science & Technology, Engineering, Business & Finance, Computers and Information Technology, etc. If you are interested in learning more, see http://bcts.bergen.org/index.php... . They also had regular VoTech and Special Education programs!
We have spent sacrificial amounts of money on public education ... compared to the Catholic system ... and have not achieved the results that they have. While I have traditionally not been in favor of vouchers to church-based schools, my experience with educational competition has caused me to change my perspectives.

I can't argue with competition; it definitely helps.
However, private and parochial schools don't have all the regulations of public schools, regulations intended to prevent waste and abuse. If we start passing out vouchers, we'll want those regulations enforced - and their cost advantage will disappear.
Furthermore, the biggest reason public schools do so much worse than private and parochial schools is because of "the worst 10%". If you eliminated the worst 10% of the students in public schools, you'd see MARKEDLY better results.
Part of those kids are in the bottom 10% because their parents don't give a damn about their kids, possibly because the kid was the by-blow of a rape, or because the parent is addled with drugs.
Part of those kids are in the bottom 10% because their parents don't give a damn about education (often because they are dullards themselves - and acorns don't fall far from the oak.)
Part of those kids are in the bottom 10% because they have a congenital problem that makes them a real handful to parent, and by the time the kids are school-aged, their parents are so exhausted, they have nothing left to give.
Those kids end up in public schools, because nobody wants to pay tuition for them. We used to segregate these throwaway kids, and call it special education, but about 1970, we started mainstreaming them, in the name of "equal protection of the laws". It didn't help them much, but it disrupted the education of the rest of the students.
Figure out a way to effectively and economically educate the worst 10%, and you will probably have a solution to the whole problem.

Private and parochial schools get to choose who they teach. Public schools must teach everyone.
Where did Corbet's kids go to school?
Since: Dec 08
#9 May 13, 2011
I understand the "bottom 10%" better than you might imagine. Growing up in Dover, I saw a lot of those kids ... and followed their careers as they graduated to life imprisonment! FWIW ... I have an autistic son who was in special ed throughout K-12.
I understand the role of family support for education ... and the vast difference in outcomes between parents who are engaged with their kids education and those who are ambivalent or hostile toward education. My special ed son went on to receive a degree in Chemistry from a "more selective" public college ... without his motivation and our support this would have been unthinkable. If my son didn't have strong academic interests, we would have been open to him pursuing other paths!
At the same time, I have a letter in my possession from our public school that urged my wife and I to write him off in the 3rd grade and get counseling to deal with it ... so don't say that the public school systems always get it right.
The school system that I referenced in my previous posting is a PUBLIC school system ... that includes special ed and vocational education! I cited the Catholic system only because they are very cost-effective ... getting results at a much lower cost per pupil. BTW: The Catholic schools in New Jersey DO take on all students!
There is an answer for the bottom 10%. The education system is too focused on giving every student a college-prep level education. Not every student is college material. In Germany, students are "sorted" early in the educational process ... and follow vastly different paths ... some VERY academic ... others VERY vocational ... and apprenticeships are expected for all vocational students.
The county school district that I referenced provides very effective solutions for the bottom 10% as well. Rather than sitting in a classroom with a teacher talking about subjects they either can't comprehend or don't care about, they are learning about subjects like plumbing, auto repair, or welding where they will have lifetime employment.

I don't know which ones, but both Tom III and Kate (now Kate Gibson) attended Catholic schools.
I wasn't suggesting that parents have to do what Forrest Gump's Mama did in order to get their kids into a decent school. I was just pointing out that if you do nothing, which is often what happens with a bottom-10% kid, public schools are the default.
#11 May 14, 2011
The fact the Governor says nothing about the start up money or the transportation costs associated with vouchers, while setting vouchers eligibility just above poverty level, does nothing to sway the cost of local tax payers in helping to pay for their local schools.
He is creating a two tiered system of privatized (using taxes) urban/rural education vs. a fully funded suburban public system. Save us all the time and effort and just send all the kids to the schools that work and eliminate transportation except for people under $28,000. lunchbreakblog
#12 May 14, 2011
Yes- that is the answer and teachers would love to be able to help each child grow to that potential but the problem is the EVERYTHING- funding, rankings, public opinion is linked to test scores- not just ant test scores but a test the government developed an has mandated that ALL kids be able to pass by 2014. ALL- no matter what ability or path those kids want to take. Too much time is spent on trying to figure out how a diverse population of kids with different backgrounds and abilities will be able to pass the test.

Take a look at the numbers, fella. White anglo-saxon protestent kids are too lazy to make babies. The biggest part of the next generation is hispanic, because they are still making babies.
Fine with me. Those hispanic babies are kinda cute. And if the white kids can't stop playing video games in their mother's basement long enough to find a girlfriend, their genes obviously aren't of much value to mankind.
On the other hand, you'd soon start whining about "reverse discrimination" and I'd rather not have to put up with that. Why don't you ever THINK before you say these incredibly stupid things?
#14 May 15, 2011
Did you write that last line to yourself?
Since: Dec 08
#15 May 15, 2011
Why should there be the need for start-up money?
In the school district that I referred to above, transportation costs were included in the cost charged to the district ... that equaled the average cost expended on students in the home district. Quite frankly, the costs of that voucher school were a fraction of the costs that the district chose to incur because they didn't know that to do with a bright special ed kid ... who they chose to transport a greater distance and pay tuition to a private school ... when it would have been much less restrictive (and expensive) to educate him in district.
Local school districts seem to be terrified that their monopolies are being challenged!

You can't manage what you can't measure!
The rest of us working stiffs live in a world where we are constantly being measured and managed ... teachers deserve no less!
It's about time that teachers are held accountable for what their students learn. There are too many bad teachers who talk about everything but the subject matter! While some may be interesting, there should be a "BS 101" class for teachers who want to avoid teaching the assigned subject! Let students choose whether they want to learn ... or listen to the BS ... when they select their classes!

Alexander Payne's films look deceptively easy to make but if they are, how come nobody else is doing anything like them? Like his last, About Schmidt, Sideways is just a ragged road movie in which realistic people set off on an uncertain journey. They learn a little about themselves but mostly, like the rest of us, they blunder around making the same mistakes. In plot terms, Sideways is just a middle-aged Swingers. One mismatched friend is bruised by life and paralysed by insecurity (Paul Giamatti, as wonderful here as in American Splendor); the other (Thomas Haden Church) is after a horny good time on a Californian trip. One finds the wine they taste "quaffable but hardly transcendent"; the other says: "Tastes pretty good to me." They're classic glass-half-full, glass-half-empty guys.
Payne, adapting Rex Pickett's novel here, seems established as the poet of middle-aged underachievers, and as well as being very funny, a lot of Sideways's dialogue rings true - the characters never seem like plot devices. It's lightly funny, surprisingly moving and has a perfect ending. Now how often do you get all those in the same movie?

Find the Best Brand in Best Car ReviewNews
The best car review usually depicts more about the best brand manufacturer which make the car to be impressive. Some of the manufacturers create cars based on the demand of the society. They will search the data through the research department and all the scientist that they have and find also the most competitive product in the late research. For example, this year is the year of the family car means that every company will try to make the best quality of family car because it will make them success and could gain so many customers in the year to buy their products.
The Best Car Review from the Best Brand
The car is great if the review said so. There are some companies which make some problems because they are too confident in releasing their car and they forget about the reviewer. The reviewer is sometimes the key success of certain car to be popular to the public. That is why the best car review would make any brand popular and gain more customer. The strategic function of a car is really essential since they do not have any specific function that is far from creating a good image of the car. Then, the best brand would become greater because of this.
The car review nowadays tends to glorify the usage of the latest technology in the car. They sometimes highlight the usage of clean energy technology in the people's mind to make the car meets the standard of global cars and will attract more customer from all around the world. The car would be so much awesome because the people behind is really putting their hard work to make all the part of the car work accordingly. The car would be great in public as the review would sell their advantages. That is why find the best car review from the best brand manufacturer.

6-5/195 from West Mecklenburg HS in Charlotte, NC
"He's a good leader, which is good for us because we have a young team, and it started going into his tenth grade year," West Mecklenburg head coach Jeff Caldwell told Scout's Don Callahan. "He started leading in the weight room and then he started leading everywhere else we went. It wasn't something we asked him to do – he just took it upon himself. It was a natural thing for him.
"He's a natural drop back quarterback, but the running comes easy to him also it's something that he wants to do. He keeps the ball alive – we're not asking him to make any 30-, 40-yard runs. But he runs to keep the chains moving and get the ball down the field."
He finished his junior season with 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns while leading his team to its best record in 25 years.
He took in summer camps at North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wake Forest last year. UNC and Wake offered. In December, he named Clemson his top choice followed by those two. In March, he named Florida State, UNC, and Clemson as his top three.
The offer from Miami seems to have changed things for the talented young quarterback.
"Right now Miami, NC State, [North] Carolina, FSU, and East Carolina would be my top five, in no order," he told Scout today. "NC State and Miami are my leaders. I feel like they offer the best opportunity for me to get some playing time and potentially play early."
The Hurricanes seem to be in very good shape here heading into the summer. Being in the top two for an out-of-state kid even before he visits is huge.

Rosemary obviously only had two breaks at her old school. But that's OK, coz me and Harmony normally eat at last break anyway. There's too much to do at lunchtime, and have you tried getting into the hall at first break? Seriously. It's packed within the first few minutes. There's people sharing seats, sitting on the tables, and so many people packed in between the tables that you can hardly get in. First break isn't a good time to have lunch. Ask Ivy. She knows.
"Hey twin! Hey best friend!" I grin as we get to the table Harmony and Ivy are sitting on.
"Hey twin! Hey stranger!" Harmony waves.
"Hey best friend one! Hey person I've never met!" Ivy exclaims.
"Everyone, this is Rosemary. Rosemary, this is my twin Harmony and my best friend Ivy" I announce as we sit down.
"Hi" Rosemary says. We sit and chat for a while. Then,
"Currys!" Har exclaims loudly.
"Currys! That's where - the answer is Currys"
"The answer to what?" Ivy looks confused.
"The answer. You know, to the question" Harmony struggles for words.
"Yes... that's generally what an answer is for..." Rosemary says. I'll have to ask her if I can call her Rose.
"No! I mean... Melodeeeee, please just work it out!"
"I'll help. I'm good at puzzles!" Ivy puts in.
"No!" Harmony basically yells. "I mean, it's just for Melody. Only Mel. She needs to know that the answer to the question that was about Band and a girl in Band a question about the girl"
"A question about the - OH! Oh, I see. Right. OK. Got it" I say hurriedly.
"OK... what was that about?" Ivy looks at us as if we're crazy.
"Yeah... that was really weird" Rose adds.
"Oh, oh it was nothing, at all, to worry about" Har says quickly.
"It was, um, about, uh, a, question, about, I mean, we were, at lunch, she said, no, I said, I wanted, to know, uh, how, a girl, I mean, what, a girl's, favourite, uhm, no, wait, yeah, her favourite, uhm, takeaway, ah, was, so, yeah"
"You two were in top set English in secondary school, and you can't even string a sentence together" Ivy shakes her head.
"Yes we can. She was simply saying that she wanted to know what a girl's favourite takeaway was. And it was currys"
"Seriously. Have you heard yourselves?" phew, that was a close one. A very close one indeed.

First 2012 Dragon
Observed: 3rd March 2012 By: jccurd
Added: 5th March 2012
... for an excited me, that is, and it was a bit of a surprise when it landed beside me last week whilst wandering about the island of Madeira.
... for an excited me, that is, and it was a bit of a surprise when it landed beside me last week whilst wandering about the island of Madeira.
This looks very like a Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) and if I'm reading the literature correctly, the fact that this is on Madeira makes it a derivative of S. striolatum, called an Island Darter (S. nigrifemur). This individual's femurs certainly look quite black, though not completely so.
For RoyW ...
5 March 2012 - 6:17pm jccurd
... if you find this, as I hope you will, I've been trying to email you but your ntlworld.com email address has been getting permanently rejected, today, at least.
Are they suffering a technical glitch or have you changed, I wonder?
S. nigrifemur or S. striolatum nigrifemur?
I don't think that the taxonomical status of "nigrifemur" has really been cleared up yet (dna studies will probably be needed).
You are correct though that on Madeira this will be the identification.
Not one that I've seen yet though.
How closely did you look at this one (or the photo)?
email should be OK now btw.
Not closely enough, clearly!
6 March 2012 - 9:22am jccurd
I was so stuck on the femurs. It's another darn male colouration female, isn't it - widely spaced, shorter appendages? Not to mention the abdominal side lines extending the length of the abdomen.

Product of the Day: Starpex Guitar
Posted on Wednesday, November 12 @ 18:07:29 PST by Nicholas TanIn what may be as "real" as you can get to a "fake" guitar, the Starpex Guitar by Peak Products supplants all other would-be guitar controllers by sporting a body made of genuine wood. Like any good aftermarket controller compatible with Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Rock Revolution (and whatever else), the "Starpex" has everything a budding axe-ripper needs: ten fret buttons - five near the top of the neck and five near the bottom (though of the same size and not small like the Rock Band solo buttons), wireless or wired connection via a 15-foot USB cable, and a tilt sensor for activating star power.
Some notable features are a whammy bar that presses up and down the way an actual whammy bar should, as if it was springloaded (not sure if it actually is), and a button for activating star power that rests on the side of the strum bar, much closer than the star power button for the official Guitar Hero World Tour guitar. Guitar Hero veterans will applaud the thick, sturdy, audible strum bar and the lifelike weight of the guitar, while bona-fide guitarists will appreciate the classic electronic rock shape of the body and the pick guard, the white position markers on the black neck, and the metal pegs on the head. Now all we need is a metal bridge, perhaps some pickups, and a handful of green, red, yellow, orange, and blue strings.
The unfortunate downside of it all is that it's only for the Playstation 3 and Playstation 2, two consoles that not many Rock Band and Guitar Hero fans use to play them on. (At least we at GR are having trouble thinking of anyone who does; from what we can remember, only Duke has been to a Guitar Hero or Rock Band press event that even had the PS3 peripherals… and that was just once). The other looming caveat is that it's gonna cost you. In the way that only $179.95 can. That's almost half a PS3, so you'll have to gauge how much you're willing to set yourself back for a fancy-pants faux-real guitar.
But if you can score the Starpex Guitar, it will definitely make a better first impression than ye-ol' plastic guitar. If you're a riff-lovin' fan that has the dough and a PS3 or PS2, consider getting one for yourself, or if you're really nice, get one for your best friend as a Christmas present (and then borrow it forgetfully).

Hello sir, Your concern can be understood. Skin infections such as chicken pox do leave scars behind. There are many treatments available for scarring depending on the persons requirements and suitability. These treatments can be beneficial to varying degrees and your doctor is the best person to decide which is best suitable. As a general guide the treatment options range from local applications(not of much help for longer duration scars) , superficial procedures such as microdermabrasion to lasers and cosmetic surgery. It will be difficult to recommend a particular treatment to you but there are many options and medicinal products available. The best would be to talk to your doctor and then decide which treatment works best.

Price of Freedom
Essay by: loversgonewrong444
Status: Finished
Genre: War and Military
The Price of Freedom
You may think the price of freedom is just a few dollars and some pocket lint. I'm sorry to say this but, you're believing a terribly misleading lie. The price of freedom is much more than that. To some, it's enough to risk their own lives. A lot of times, the price they pay, is missing their child's birth, A few Christmas' overseas or the whole childhood of their children.
To defend our country and to defend our freedom, takes more than just speaking and saying that you stand behind it. It means you have to back it up. You must become a part of it, and know how and why it stands so true to the nations beliefs and freedoms. To defend the freedoms, it takes a strength and a strength only the nations forces can secure with them such that of military strength. They have to be willing to take a risk, and to make sacrifices. Not only what they find suited for their time, but for our country's being.
Not only is it our freedoms they're stepping up broadly in front of to take care of, but it is also our rights. Which include Women's rights and the Right to Bear Arms. I for one enjoy being able to go out on a Saturday after-noon, with my family. As a family. But if say we legally had a right to stop by McDonalds, you probably wouldn't have that right if the armed forces didn't stand for it.
World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, Korean War, American Revolution, Civil War, French & Indian War, and so on. These wars all occurred for one main reason, to protect the people and their endowed rights. If brave people who are willing and able to back their own beliefs up and step up to the battlefield of which these have taken place, and if these wars hadn't happened the way they did, I don't even want to think about where our country would be at with dealing with our rights and freedoms.
Some places like stores and such have military discount the problem being is that not enough do. I mean sure they have to make a profit, or else they'd crash and burn as a business, but the price the veterans and current serving military men have paid a much larger price than they've ever imagined it would have been. A greater price than the store itself would have made whether it made the veteran pay or not. There is not greater price you can pay, than to risk so much to serve this country, and for the well-being of it.
Some of you might be thinking yeah, I've heard this before, it's just talk. Keep talking, I'm going to act like I'm listening. No you don't understand until you've been there. You don't understand until you have nothing but trust with those of which that have your back, that will catch you if you fall, you don't know the feeling to see your friend on your right to get a severed arm, and the friend on your left to stop breathing ever so slowly. You don't realize the affect this has on not only the family of the soldier but also the country. God bless you, if you know what I'm trying to say.
To all of you veterans out here, Thank you for your service. And God bless.
May your freedoms forever be with you.

If you're the DIY type, you may wonder why anyone bothers using a mortgage broker when they could just talk to lenders directly.
For some people, the direct path really is the best option.
The majority of new real estate investors, however, can benefit from working with a mortgage broker.
Here are four reasons you should consider using one.
1. Using a Mortgage Broker Can Save You Time
Comparing mortgage offers is one of the most important things that you can do when buying investment property, as people often find that they can find vastly different offers from different companies.
Some lenders may decide that you don't meet their expectations, so they don't want to give you a mortgage at all.
Other lenders, however, may decide that you're just what they're looking for, so they will give you a low interest rate.
This may sound ridiculous if you haven't worked in real estate or finance before, but it's actually quite common because lenders use different criteria to measure how risky borrowers are.
If you don't use a mortgage broker, then you will have to fill out applications for dozens of lenders. This takes a lot of time, especially since each company has its own set of documents.
Using a mortgage broker makes this process considerably easier.
Instead of filling out documents for several lenders, you just work with one person.
You will still have to provide plenty of documentation to prove your creditworthiness, but you will only have to do it one time.
That's a big time-saver when you consider that most lenders will want:
- W-2 forms from the last two years
- A copy of your most recent federal tax return
- Recent paycheck stubs
- Canceled checks showing you have made rent and mortgage payments on time
- A complete list of your assets and debts
If you own a business, then you will also need to supply loss and profit statements from your 1099 forms.
Renting property counts as owning a business, so you will need to give the lender this information if you already rent a property to tenants.
You will likely save hours of research on this issue by working with a mortgage broker.
2. Brokers May Have Access to More Loan Options
When you approach a lender, your loan officer will make certain assumptions about what you qualify for.
Even if you have a good credit history, the lender may choose to show you certain types of loans over others.
Mortgage brokers have enough experience to know what types of offers you can potentially use.
They also know what types of products lenders offer other clients. That could make it possible for you to access more loan options. They may not fit your needs, but at least you will get to consider them.
3. You'll Likely Get Lower Interest and Other Costs
Since mortgage brokers have connections to a lot of lenders, they can often find loans with lower costs than the ones you would get by going directly to your bank. Having the option to look at more offers gives you an opportunity to lower the overall cost of borrowing money.
Lenders are also more likely to lower their interest rates and closing costs when working with brokers.
The lenders, after all, know that most mortgage brokers will work hard to find the best options for their clients.
This encourages lenders to compete with each other.
If they don't lower their costs, then they aren't likely to get much business from the broker.
In the long run, they can make more money by lowering interests, points and closing costs because that means the broker will get them more business.
Some real estate buyers worry that they will end up spending more money by using a mortgage broker. After all, the mortgage broker has to get paid.
However, this is unlikely to happen, especially since new regulations that went into effect in 2014 prevent brokers from making more money by selling expensive mortgages to their clients.
The new rules have also decreased the number of mortgage brokers. Considering that those brokers left the industry because they could only make good incomes by fleecing their clients, you should consider that a benefit.
4. A Mortgage Lender Can Give You Expert Advice
All investments come with some level of risk. Rental properties aren't excluded from this.
Considering that you will likely spend $100,000 or more on your investment property, you will probably feel a little nervous about it.
Even if you know you can make money from the opportunity, it's scary to hand such significant savings over to someone.
A mortgage lender can give you expert advice that will help you avoid common mistakes, and if nothing else, a good mortgage broker will help you feel more at ease. Sometimes, that's all you need to move forward with an acquisition that will earn you steep profits.
Mortgage brokers aren't right for everyone.
If you have a lot of experience in real estate and finance, then you may feel that you can do the job well on your own.
For most people, though, a broker offers experience and advice that can help them make smarter decisions when buying investment properties.

Strasburg Placed on Disabled List as Nationals Lose 10-1 to MetsNancy Kercheval
Pitcher Stephen Strasburg was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a back strain by the Washington Nationals, who lost 10-1 to the New York Mets.
Marlon Byrd hit two home runs for the Mets and David Wright added a third last night at Nationals Park.
Dillon Gee (4-6) allowed one run on nine hits and struck out seven in seven innings for the Mets (23-33). Dan Haren (4-7) surrendered five runs on seven hits in four innings for the Nationals (29-30).
Strasburg sustained the injury at the Atlanta Braves on May 31, when he threw 37 pitches in two innings, the shortest outing of his Major League Baseball career.
Strasburg is eligible to return on June 16. He was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to June 1, after being unable to pitch a bullpen session yesterday, the Nationals said on their website.
Strasburg, who was due to start June 8 at home against the Minnesota Twins, is 3-5 with a 2.54 earned run average and 73 strikeouts in 74 1/3 innings this season.
The pitcher, who signed a record $15 million, four-year contract in 2009, set a major league record with 41 strikeouts in his first four starts in the 2010 season and went 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 68 innings.
His career was interrupted by surgery on Sept. 4, 2010, to replace a ligament in his throwing arm. He spent most of the 2011 season recovering from the surgery. Last year, he went 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA.
The Nationals are in third place in the National League East, eight games behind the division-leading Braves.

Past, Present and FutureMature
"Come on" Gabriel said after a few moments "we have to tell…" he paused "someone"
"Who?" Marcus asked.
"No idea" Gabriel said standing up. "Sylver's indisposed and mother and the others aren't here."
"And Sylver made the renewal larger sire" Marcus added.
"So we have few people who actually know anything useful for the next few days." Gabriel growled. He turned to see Dawn still staring down the stairs into the dark. "Dawn?" he said Marcus stopped a few steps up and looked back as Gabriel walked back down to the other angel. "Are you okay?"
"Bad memories sire" Dawn said turning to look at him. Gabriel saw something in the angel's eyes that he recognized but he couldn't place.
"Come on" Gabriel said gently he put a hand on Dawn's shoulder and pushed him towards Marcus, Dawn moved without any argument.
At the top of the steps Gabriel shut the door and lay the heavy locking bar across it.
"Marcus" Gabriel turned to the smaller angel "I need you to go to the library and leave a report about what happened." Marcus nodded "do you know the way from here?"
"Not really sire" Marcus admitted.
"Okay we'll drop you off" Gabriel said starting to walk the other two following him. "Once you've done that come straight to my rooms again do not speak to anyone else."
Marcus had raided Val's desk for paper and a pencil as soon as they entered the library and begun to write.
In Gabriel's room Dawn sank down onto the couch his legs refusing to hold him any longer.
"I'm sorry sire" he said looking at Gabriel.
"Me too" said the prince Dawn frowned at him.
"For what?" Dawn asked sharply.
"For such an idiotic decision" Gabriel ran his hands over his tied back hair as he paced the room. "I haven't made such a mistake in a long time."
"What mistake?" Dawn asked.
"We never should have gone further than the lights." Gabriel stopped to look at him. "We should have come back"
"Sire" Dawn shook his head but he didn't know what to say.
"I could have got all of us killed." Gabriel said pacing once more.
"Sire you weren't to know" Dawn stood up.
"How old are you Dawn?" Gabriel asked, Dawn faltered at the sudden change of subject.
"Forty five almost forty six" Dawn said carefully.
"I'm forty two" Gabriel said looking at him. "And you're old enough to remember the war in the south thirty years ago." Gabriel said Dawn nodded.
"Yes sire." Dawn saw Gabriel touch the small, silver ring in the lobe of his ear.
"That's where I got this" he said Dawn could see Gabriel's thoughts were not with him in the bedroom but far away.
"You got that at twelve?" Dawn asked surprised Gabriel nodded his thoughts back in the room as he pulled a chair out from the small games table.
"I was the youngest angel to ever get this mark." Gabriel sighed. "But if you remember that then you know why I ran"
"Yes sire I do" Dawn said he watched Gabriel light a cigarette and he saw that the angels hands were shaking slightly.
"How did you get the other three?" Dawn asked looking at the silver rings.
"Another time Dawn" Gabriel said his voice taking on the sharp tone it usually had once more. "For now you acted perfectly but we have to work out what to do next"
As if on cue Marcus knocked on the slightly open door and stepped in.
"All done sire" he said.
"Good" Gabriel said standing he walked to the couch and sat down next to Dawn so he could use the ashtray.
"So what now sire?" Dawn asked gently.
"I have no idea" Gabriel sighed he looked up as someone knocked on the now closed door. Dawn saw Gabriel frown and he stood up.
"No" Gabriel said waving a hand at him the prince moved to the door his hand on his sword hilt and slowly turned the door handle, then pulled and let go. The door swung back and crashed into the wall. Gabriel sword point stopped level with the visitor's throat.

Our room is our sanctuary. It is the place where we form our ideas, and plan to turn them into outputs. That being said, our room should be comfortable and inspiring. We may achieve comfort through quality furniture and inspirations through fixtures and decorations.
Do-it-yourself room decorations are popular nowadays. There are decorations intended for summer, winter, fall, and spring. To save your time and storage, we can also do room decoration apt for all seasons. All year round decors are also cost-friendly. The investment you make for these crafts are definitely worth it.
Going back to room decorations, we have listed below five DIY crafts that may help rekindle your creativity. May these simple crafts be your inspiration to come up with a unique, convenient and attractive all year round decorations for your room.
- Paper Bag Containers
Paper bags are everywhere. Various shops use them in packaging their products, and people who are always on-the-go choose them over wrapping papers to package gifts. Find some of these cheap containers to do this first craft. Also, get a pair of scissors, glue, some scrap papers, and old magazines.
Go ahead and cut the paper bag into your desired size. Consider the size of the things that you are to put inside them such as notebooks, journal and books. You can also secure your school files or office files on your personalized containers. After achieving your desired size, cut a small slit on all four edges so that you may fold each side. Fold them inwards and secure them with glue.
Finally, cover the paper bag with colored papers. Use your creativity to create patterns and designs. We suggest that you find interesting words on old magazines, cut them out and stick them on the outer part of your container. You can also add sequence, beads and glitters to make it more eye-catching.
- Reversed Picture Frame
For this one, you need an old cardboard box and some clothespins. We prefer wooden clothespins for rustic elegance. You will need hot glue, as well. Start by drawing a pattern on your cardboard. Your pattern depends on your desired shape for your picture frame. You can opt for circular, rectangular, or irregular shapes. Make a smaller duplicate inside the first one to create the frame.
After cutting the cardboard, stick your clothespins around your created frame. You can paint it with acrylic paints if you want it to be colorful. You can attach a yarn on top of your frame to be able to hang it, or you can just add an adhesive on the back to stick it on your wall.
Pin your pictures on each of the clothespins, and your unique reversed picture frame is completed.
- Inspiration Board
Find two cardboards – one will be your main board and the other one will act as the border. All you have to do is cut the cardboards into your desired form. With the use of hot glue, attach the border on the main board then nail the finished product on your room's wall. It is best to put it above your desk where you can easily reach it
You can paint the border with acrylic paints or cover it with colored papers, washi tapes and magazine spreads. On the main board, you can add post it notes, printed motivational quotes and pictures.
- Motivational Quotes Gallery
This is the easiest of the bunch. Just gather inspirational photos, print-out quotes, and quotations from magazines or old books. Stick all that gathered on one wall of your room. We recommend the space above your headboard. Arrange them accordingly; for example, form them into a huge heart or your initial. You can also just scatter them around to create an abstract effect.
- Pencil and Tools Holder
This last room decoration inspiration is not only attractive, it is also useful. Pencil and tools holder is the best accessory for your desk. All you need is a mason jar and a bunch of yarns. With the help of a glue gun and glue sticks, attach the colored yarns on the outer surface of the jar. Once the jar is fully covered, it is your choice to keep it that way or decorate it further with beads and stones.

In the world of tricking, it's a sad day in Hell when a pimp gets played by his hoe (read: Ice-T & Coco).
Readers feel free to send a bouquet of roses to Chad Ochocinco, who recently shed light on his ex-wife, Evelyn Lozada's nookie chronicles during their marriage on black media's headquarters, Twitter.
Releasing the shade of ten embittered women, Ochocinco aired Lozada's alleged affair with Slim Williams of YMCMB with enough shade to lead others to believe that he may actually be heartbroken over her tryst.
For avid fans of Basketball Wives Miami, if you watched the episode where Slim made a cameo you'll recall–at least on paper–his business with Evelyn involved financing her book and film deal. But of course, Chad is not trying to hear it.
Somewhere all of Chad's baby mamas are laughing from their souls, and congratulating Evelyn for not giving two fucks about him.

air couplers / fittings - whats it all mean?
I always wondered why there were a ton of diff types of air couplers around. Could someone please explain what the diff is between these? and/or provide an informational link?
Style: Automotive vs Industrial Interchange
Type: B, C, E, M, P, ect....
Also, is there any recommendation on which style and type of connector to get?
Is it wise to get a 1/4" HVLP fitting or a regular 3/8" as im unsure to which one gets more airflow. Im looking to use it for my impact gun, cutoff wheel, ect..
Get 1/4" type V HVLP fittings & connectors, they have a much larger hole which allows more airflow so your tools will make more power than with the smaller type A or M that most people use. The advantage of type V couplers is that you can use tools with type A & type M fittings along with the type V kind of a universal reciever however the reverse is not true, type V fittings WILL NOT work in type A or type M couplers. I have several cheap air tools which were purchased as part of a kit, I can definitly tell a difference with the larger fitting. The 1/4" size will screw right into your tools so no adapter is needed :thumbup:
The 3/8" ones from Home Depot will fit a std air hose and
air tool too. this kit is $10.00
They have helped all my air tools do better. :thumbup:
Here's how they look compared to std 1/4" ones.
1/4in. Hi-Flo HVLP Brass Coupler how about this one for instance mfg. is Amflo..
So if you can esplane what the advantage is for the 3/8 plug and coupler. I sure would like to be educated, I am in the process of changing out some couplers and plugs , but have come to the conclusion that the 1/4 Hi-Flo HVLP should do just fine and I would not have to put up with 15 pounds of 3/8 fittings and adapters hanging off the back of the tool. A 1/4 hi flo hvlp does have a bigger hole then the standard HF, milton and Home depot 1/4 types... And one more curve ball, what about the Automotive couplers and plugs whats that all about?... I am all ears or eyes as the case maybe, let it rip..... greg
Not sure you are gaining all that much by going 3/8" over the 1/4" HVLP fittings which will screw right into tools without any adapters. Without buying the fitting you show & bringing it home to compare/mic the opening it looks close to what I am running. The type V HVLP fitting is rated for 74 CFM flow which is way more than any of the tools I have use, something like a 1" impact would probably need a larger fitting though. Do they make 3/8" hose with 3/8" fittings? All I have been able to find locally has 1/4" fittings :confused:
Well I went on a mission today and this is what I have learned, what the picture does not show about the 3/8 fitting is that they screw right into the air tool, the same as the 1/4 NO adapter needed. I miss spoke in the earlier post and am passing along the following information. The 3/8 fitting and the 1/4 fitting fit the air tools and paint guns just fine. The 3/8 coupler and plug are bigger in mass and require more effort when changing from one tool to the next. Now as to the difference in power I think at this time that there is some benefit, noticed it with the cut off tool, seemed to have a diminished tendency to stall. I am using a 3/8 hose and wonder if a 1/2 hose would produce even more power at the tool. Keeping in mind that the compressor will more then likely cycle more. As to the HFLV fittings I would like to check the hole size of one of those to see if there is a difference between the 3/8 and it. If they are the same then the advantage would for the HFLV because of the fitting size and mass, that would be the only advantage the flow rate would be the same. Another nice thing about the 3/8, most folks will not be able to borrow your tool, it wont fit there couplers. Now I will go have some coffee with my humble pie
Good article (halfway down the page) on air fittings/couplers
I ended up picking these up from NAPA
US Item numbers start with NTH, Canada starts with ULT
Item#: NTH90686
Style:3/8" True-Flate Automotive 6-ball
Inlet Size:1/4" Inlet Size
Inlet Type:Female Inlet
Quick Connect:No
Item#: NTH90685
Style:3/8" True-Flate Automotive
Inlet Size:1/4"
Inlet Type:Male Inlet
Item#: NTH90687
Style:3/8" True-Flate Automotive
Inlet Size:1/4"
Inlet Type:Female Inlet
Just mic'd some 1/4" male fittings, Type M no name .187 hole, Type M Milton .202, Type V Milton .275. This is the size of the opening at the smallest point so airflow will vary accordingly. Does anyone have the size of the 3/8" fittings?
The biggest restriction of the 1/4" fitting is the opening in the coupler,
not the hole you see in the connection side of the fitting.
That's where the 3/8" ones help so much more, they don't choke it down
near as much. Look at the pictures and you can see it.
The 1/4" couplers have a much smaller hole inside the coupler.
It doesn't take much increase in diameter to double the air flow.
I did a test with a pressure gage at my gun with trying both sizes
of fittings and the pressure drop was 5 lbs with the 3/8" and
20 lbs with the 1/4" ones. They do make a huge difference.
I did the same test with a 1/2" hose verses a 3/8" one and didn't
notice any difference.
But that could change with a higher CFM consuming tool than mine.
But at 10 CFM I couldn't measure a difference. :pimp:
I just measured my fittings using a digital caliper (inside jaws)
Type M: Milton 727 = 0.197
Type I/M: Campbell Hausfeld = 0.191
Type M: No Name = 0.188
Type G: Amflo CP7 (True-flate) = 0.295
Either the 3/8" or 1/4" HVLP will be a BIG improvement over the standard fittings that most everyone uses. The primary advantage I can see of the 1/4" HVLP over the 3/8" is that my buddy can bring his air tools with type A or M fittings over & they will hook right up into my connectors where with the 3/8" connectors we would have to change the fitting on his tool for it to work then switch back before he leaves. Unless, if you could convince your friends of the advantages & get them to change to the same type fitting then the advantage would go to the 3/8". Found 3/8" HVLP fittings in the Northern master catalog, wonder if anyone here uses them?
I dont let anyone use my tools, plus I have pretty much all the air tools one person would need :)
HVLP 1/4" are a good idea, to bad they are smaller then 3/8"
Well, I just used my impact gun for the first time after changing to 3/8", it felt twice as powerful.
I should of put these on from day 1, my only complaint is that its a pain in the *** to change tools while the hose is pressurized. No longer can you do it with a light pull, you really have to get into it.
Im not sure why although it does state NO under "Quick Connect". Maybe I should put some grease on the ballbearings?
Any idea's guys?
Item#: NTH90686
Style:3/8" True-Flate Automotive 6-ball
Inlet Size:1/4" Inlet Size
Inlet Type:Female Inlet
Quick Connect:No
I have put a little Vaseline on the male connector.
And you can spray silicone lube on the female.
(Although I wouldn't use those for painting.)
I took a coupling apart once, cleaned and lightly
lubed everything with Vaseline,
That really helped, (they do crud up after awhile.)
But they're still not as easy as the smaller 1/4" connectors. :pimp:
Still some air coupler confusion...
Hey guys, sorry for posting to an old thread. I've been trying to figure out the 1/4" type "V" vs 3/8" air coupler issue. I just recently picked up an air compressor and I'm trying to get as much air as possible from the compressor to my tools, especially my paint gun.
I'm very new to all this and just wanted to ask the pros before I sunk some money into it.
I've read that the Milton type "V" fittings are good and more universal, but it's my understanding from reading through this thread and a few others that the 3/8" coupling size is even better.
I went to Northern the other day and they didn't even have a regular air hose with 3/8" NPT ends, only 1/4" ends.
I did find a 25ft rubber hose with 3/8" ends at Grainger though.
Here's the link:
This is going to sound like a dumb question, but just to be on the safe side, I do need an air hose with 3/8" ends to use the larger 3/8" fittings right?
And I found on Milton's site where they sell a type "V" fitting in a 3/8" size as well. Would this be worth it?
I have a small compressor so with all the larger style fittings it might be really hard on the compressor, but I'll need to upgrade eventually anyway.

Hey all,
I have 2 weeks off over Christmas and New Years. I'm looking for a place to do a 200-250 mile trip. Some snow is okay, but I don't want to do a massive amount of postholing. I was looking at the grand canyon, but I couldn't find any routes of such a length. I was also thinking about doing a portion of the GET, but the main website advised against traveling in December/January. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm up for pretty much anything in the US, as long a it'll take 10-12 days.
Hmmm, now I'm thinking a pack rafting trip on the Escalante. Anyone know a good 10-12 day loop? Will the water levels be too low in December?

No rhythm/rhyme to this one; I just felt like writing it.
These are the words that I'm shouting
At you.
I am talking to you-
No, don't look away,
Don't pass me up, don't pass me along
To her. I hate her,
She's vile, and most importantly:
She's not you. I don't say 'help' very often,
But I am asking you,
Please give me a sign to settle my mind
That will help me through
All my pain.
A human is worth the risk
Or your career; sometimes
A true friend needs a hand up from a ditch
That she's jumped right down into.
There'll be no patronisation,
No 'do better next time'-
Don't tell me to wipe away my letters,
In favour to save you
From what you hide.
I am asking you,
Please, please- please help me,
Please heal me,
With your care that you despise.

Crazy Weather
LeConte received almost 2.5" of rain yesterday. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to wake up in my cabin down in Gatlinburg. The whole area surrounding Sevier county got pounded with storms. I always tell people it is hard to describe that feeling when you are sitting at 6500' and a storm is right on top of you. Your head is in the middle of those heavy cracks of thunder. It made me jump a time or two yesterday. The mountain is socked in this morning. I am not sure what is in store for us today. I guess we will take what we get and enjoy it.

I couldn't agree more with your comment about being in the middle of the thunder. The first time I experienced a big thunderstorm at the lodge my cabin shook and I just hoped it would stay together. After the storm passed the tranquility that makes the lodge what it is to me took over and the peace I then felt made me forget the intensity of the thunder claps. The rapidity with which storms arrive there is awesome indeed.

My grandparents computer prints test pages, and from applications OTHER than from notepad.
Their desktop had a borked copy of Windows7 that some kid had installed.
I took that machine offline and gave them an Ubuntu 12.04 machine, and had cups/samba printing working in minutes.
Her laptop is running windows 7. I shared the printer from the Linux, and searched for network printers from Win7, and it found it and appeared to work fine.
The only issue now, is that their HP Photosmart C4150, does not print from Notepad, or the sheet music website, but all other printing seems to work! It prints from Word, Chrome... IE...
It is set up as a network printer, using the HP 4100 driver.
Word prints.
Google Chrome prints.
It does print the sheet music if the computer is directly plugged into it the printer, and I select the correct (local) printer.
It does not print the sheet music over the network on the same printer as everything else works with.
I tried re-installing the printer drivers on windows, and on Linux, and that did not make a difference.
