Welcome to the Cascades KinderCare webpage! Thank you for your interest in our Center! We believe that when families choose to enroll in our Center, they are giving us the biggest compliment possible because they are trusting us with their most prized possessions-their children! Our mission is to create an environment where families are happy and engaged and children spend their days learning and preparing for school. We strive to engage with families and each other to create a warm, home-away-from-home where children thrive and discover a life-long love of learning!
Our experts designed our curriculum — and every activity and lesson — to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery. You'll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children's literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we're helping develop early literacy and writing skills. Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we're excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!

We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited–nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
Our kids are taking off!
By kindergarten, our kids are testing ahead of their peers. Read all about it.
Many of our child care centers are accredited by national organizations that require us to meet rigorous early childhood education standards and guidelines for high-quality care and education. Programs that are accredited have demonstrated their commitment to go beyond the state's minimum licensing requirements to meet and maintain these high standards of quality.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
The Cooking Adventures program gives children opportunities to participate in fun, developmentally appropriate cooking experiences. They will learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and the importance of a healthy diet. The curriculum includes lessons on picnics, pizza, and heart-healthy meals.
The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers, measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every advantage now will add up to success later in life.
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Weekly Cooking and Monthly Workshops

Ms. Jennifer McKenney, Center Director
Jenny realized early on that her passion was in education and wanted to help as many children as possible develop a love of learning. She has spent time in every classroom with every age to get as familiar as possible with child development.

With her strong relationship building skills and engagement with her staff she has already gained the role of Engagement Lead for the district and enjoys working with other Directors and teachers building great relationships.

Ms. Louisa, Prekindergarten Classroom
I never stop learning. Every day is a new wonderful adventure. I come to work each day knowing that I make a difference in my students' lives. I love the smiles on their faces when they accomplish something. I feel very lucky to be a part of the KinderCare fmaily and look forward to many more happy and fulfilling years doing what I love. I am truly enjoying the new challenge of teaching the Transitional Kindergarten program along with the Pre-Kindergarten program. It has proven to be a great adventure.

She has worked at KinderCare Cascades for almost 14 years. While now the lead PreKindergarten Teacher, she has also taught infants and preschoolers.

Books are her passion and she loves sharing them with her class. Books lead to so many wonderful projects and ideas and Ms. Louisa thinks it's lovely to base classroom projects on her favorite books. She loves seeing the progress that the children make as they learn to write, to draw, to understand math and to really comprehend the world around them.

Ms. Jennifer, Preschool Classroom
My experience with children has been the most rewarding thing in my life. The joy in their faces when they can write their name for the first time or knowing they can come to me for comfort if they are sad or hurt is the best feeling. I could not see myself doing anything else.
Ms. Jennifer has been working with Kindercare for almost 18 years. Her own children were her first experience at seeing the dynamics of how children learn and she was so inspired by them that she opened her own home childcare center. When her youngest child was in first grade, she wanted to do more which is what led her to KinderCare. She started as an assistant teacher and quickly earned her Child Development Associates degree and had the opportunity to be a director, but did not find it as fulfilling as being in a classroom so soon returned to teaching.

Upcoming Center Activities
Children 6 weeks to 3 years old: All About Me and Dinosaurs
Infants and toddlers will learn all about themselves while kids in Discovery Preschool will take a look at our favorite extinct creatures: dinosaurs! Infants will look at their reflections in mirrors, listen to voices through cardboard tubes to encourage babbling, and practice self-expression as they move while listening to music. Toddlers will create body-related artwork (like paintings of their faces) and imagine the future as they pretend to be all grown up while playing dress-up. Meanwhile, children in Discovery Preschool are in for a "dinomite" time learning all about dinosaurs and their habitats, and they'll build essential skills through fun, theme-related activities—like counting dinosaur eggs and going on pretend fossil hunts!
Children 4 to 5 years old: Foods and Flavors, Shapes and Colors, and Alphabet Letters/Review
For the first two weeks of August, older children will be learning all about the basic food groups, where food comes from, and how to make healthful food choices. After that, preschoolers will be getting artsy as they explore shapes and colors using materials like blocks, paint, play dough, and colored water—and they'll even take their knowledge outdoors with scavenger hunts for colors and shapes! Their older friends in Pre-K and Transitional Kindergarten will be getting up close and personal with the alphabet as they learn uppercase and lowercase letters, the sounds the letters make, and how those sounds can be combined to make words—all culminating with the creation of a classroom alphabet book.

Feeling Foxy - Grey Unisex V-neck
Product Details
One of a series for the F/W 2016 season. They each feature an iconic canadian animal, drawn with simple, thick lines and patterns. Foxes have always triggered fond memories for me; we would see a family of foxes that lived in a field on our way out to our summer cabin, my favourite fuzzy friend when I was little was a fox pelt, and my Dad would always say "you're feeling foxy today," if I was in an impish mood. I couldn't resist doing a fox design, with this lady fox hiding in the grasses, just like I remember, and words borrowed from my Dad.
Printed on a Grey Unisex Tri-Blend Standard V-Neck T-Shirt. (6.5oz 50% Polyester / 25% Cotton / 25% Rayon). A v-neck in a super soft, comfy fabric!
This is a Unisex fit shirt, which I sell mainly to the ladies. The sizes listed are Unisex ones. I would suggest going down a size from your normal one, so if you wear a ladies, small, go for an x-small. Because of the Unisex sizes, it's a longer shirt, which is nice if you're at all tall.
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Because there's polyester and rayon in the fabric, it will not shrink at all when put in the dryer! I use water-based inks for all my prints, which are great because they sink right into the fabric instead of sitting on the surface. So they won't crack or fade, but just get softer with each wash until you can't even feel them!

Posted on 08/02/2010 9:16:42 AM PDT by lbryce
WASHINGTON By defiantly pushing for full-fledged ethics trials, Representatives Charles B. Rangel and Maxine Waters are raising the prospect of a spectacle focusing on Congressional corruption this fall, just as Democrats are fighting to hold on to their majority in an election already defined by distrust of Washington.
Neither lawmaker, both Democrats, faces electoral jeopardy. Mr. Rangel, who was charged on Thursday by the House ethics committee with 13 violations, including failing to pay taxes on rental income from his Dominican villa, represents a safe district in Harlem. Ms. Waters, who is accused of using her office to help a bank in which her husband owned stock request bailout money, has a similarly secure seat in Los Angeles.
But the tenacity of Mr. Rangel, a 20-term veteran, and Ms. Waters, in her 10th term, in fighting the accusations, puts the interests of these two veteran members of the Congressional Black Caucus at odds with those of their party leaders, particularly the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who famously promised to drain the swamp and run the most ethical Congress in history. The trials threaten to tarnish Democrats as they try to turn the midterm elections into a choice between keeping them in power or returning to Bush-era policies.
The trials would also stand to remind voters that Democrats, who in recent years extended their reach into the traditionally Republican turf of the rural West and South, are still anchored by an urban, liberal base and led by entrenched veteran lawmakers from big cities.
And the cases could feed racial strains both inside the Democratic caucus, where black members are asking why so many investigations seem to be aimed at them, and out among voters, especially in rural and white districts where many conservative Democrats face tight races.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
President Obama also seemed to be ushering Mr. Rangel out the door when he expressed a hope this weekend that Mr. Rangel, the dean of the New York delegation, be allowed to end his career with dignity.
As far as ending his career in dignity, Mr. President, I'm afraid it's too late for that.
I'm just waiting for some MSM perspective referring to Rangel, Waters as the "Lion", "Lioness" of the black caucus.
They don't give a rat's behind about their party, the people they serve. it's all about their narcisstic egos they trying to salvage. And in the end when found guilty there's always the race card.
So far, regardless of the merits of the charges against them, the reaction of Mr. Rangel and Ms. Waters has belied this fact: they are so deeply entrenched in the victim mentality that they actually cannot conceive of there EVER, under any circumstances, being the possibility that the charges against them are LEGITIMATE.
IOW, they skip that little matter of self-examination ("is it possible I really have done something wrong here?"), they skip the really grown-up step of putting themselves in the place of the investigators and viewing the facts from their perspective ("I don't think I've done anything wrong, but I can see how the facts raise the question"), and they go directly to the race card:
"I'm black, therefore I'm a victim, therefore no charges that could ever, ever be raised against me could be legitimate and have a non-racist basis."
IOW, they are poster children for how a racialist mentality makes people stupid -- and utterly unable to engage their inner dialogue in objective, fact-based reality.
But not only them. What about the stupid MSM? Two congresscritters get charged with ethics violations. So what. Two black congresscritters get charged with ethics violations and Journolisters start wailing that it's a racist witchhunt.
Who is it here that is constantly fixated on the mere color of people's skin?
Come January, assuming a GOP takeover of the house, probably not the same outcome. They probably wanted to push this into next year, but once all the polls showed that the GOP might take the house, they picked up the pace to get this done now. They miscalculated and should have done this 8 months ago - but then they couldn't believe that the House was really at risk. Should be fun anyways.
MANY do not seem to know what his is about. Let me speak here to you about it:
Obama wants both Maxine and Rangel gone. Why? ASK YOURSELF!!!!
Its because they will not relinquish control of their constituencies for the Obama radical agenda.They want to keep and preserve their carefully constructed systems of black patronage in their constituencies.They are entrenched. Obama wants these constituencies radicalized the way Chicago is, he wants them to rise up against the white establishment, he wants firebrands to take their places. So far the purge of moderate democrats who want the old system left in tact has gone on quietly,many refusing to re offer for election in November.These two will NOT go quietly.
And they are fighting the evolution of fascism to preserve their carefully built hand out systems and pay offs.Harry Reid is as bad as either Rangel or Waters, yet he goes along with the Obama plan.Maxine and Rangel do not.They have become problems, because Obama wants something that they are willing to prevent at all costs, the totalitarian evolution of the Obama plan inside their constituencies at the destruction of their own native political systems.
They are giving Obama gas. And I like it. I hope they both fight Obama fascism tooth and nail.Eventually he be gettin' around to you and me.Maybe if we pay attention, we will learn a thing or two about how to fight Obama when he comes for our personal money through taxation, or conversion of 401 (K) accounts into government owed and administerd social security " supplements".
And Obama is a fascist. No doubt about that. No doubt at all:
In my book, all voters (the ones with a brain) need to ask is, "Did Mr. Rangel own a Dominican villa before he was elected to his first term in Congress?"
Obviously the answer will be 'no'. That alone should ignite a goodly amount of outrage in any normal person's mind. Who exactly do these pukes think they are? Of royal blood?

is called to order.
Whatcha workin' on?
I'm finishing up a four tier wedding cake (easy week, only 1 wedding) and watching Food Network.
And I need to clean a print head. blargh
Next week, I'm doing an R2D2 'head' (top of dome) sinking into a swamp. Nephew's b'day.
Tonight I'm just 'working on' a can of Pringles chips , checking out the latest CakeWrecks (omg that site is so funny), poking around Facebook and in a few minutes think I'll hit the sack.
Leah, where did your avatar pic go? I miss it. I don't know if it's you or not, but I pretend it is, and I imagine you (in a fond way) as the cake nazi ~ NO CAKE FOR YOU!
Sorry, it's past my bedtime.
I am doing nothing! Babysitting my two grandkids (well, actually the 17 year old is in charge of them!) They camped out in the family room and all 3 were asleep on the floor by 9:00!! Easiest sitting job ever!
So hubby and I are enjoying an old movie on tv and enjoying the quiet!
I have a small bridal show on Sunday so I'll be spending tomorrow making a couple of dummies and some cake samples. AFTER the grandkids are picked up though!
sketching out a design for a construction themed bday cake, and baking and torting a 12" and a 10" for my first ever wedding cake!!! soo excited!
Yeah, I wasn't really fond of the Cake Nazi comments. Hold a whisk and all heck breaks loose.
Sorry! Like I said, it was in a totally fond and humorous way.
How about Cake Master or Cake Jedi? May the forks be with you.
Yes, Leah s, I was fairly intimidated upon first seeing your pic, but I became much more accepting after reading a few of your posts. Your pic always reminded me of the way the make the cake competitors stand as they are introducing them at the beginning of challenge. "now try to have a serious face, this is a competion!"
I'm not working on anything cake related tonight either. I've cleaned up the kitchen, got the kids to bed and will be spending the night surfing the net (mostly cc of course). Leahs I miss the pic too!
So, let's fix my edible printer. I can clean the print head, but there's no yellow ink moving in the ink tank. The tank is full but the ink is staying in the reservoir side and not flowing over to the side that feeds the print head. Ideas?
Cake Jedi? May the forks be with you.
I like that.
im starting my cake and prep work for a smurf cake for my friends daughter due on sunday. i have to go to a fair tomorrow (yes in the pouring rain!!!) so im baking tonight, torting and doing some fondant work, then tomorrow night after the fair ill finish the cake. i hate taking a break when i want to do a cake. it takes my mo-jo away. plus not looking forward to staying up all night on saturday.
it will be the first time i try a RIT! so i told my friend if it doesnt come out right then she will get a pretty plain decorated cake.
wish me luck!
I have a WASC cake in the oven it will be a three tier baby shower cake for a friend on Sunday its a girl so it will have a lot of pink on it I will decorate it tomorrow since the shower is not until 6:00 in the evening on Sunday. I plan to be up late tonight
Sounds like a blockage. Could any ink have dried in the pathway or something?
Everything seems damp in the ink tank. Darndest thing I've dealt with so far on the edible printer. Which has been mostly a PITA for several years.
I am making the most important cake of my life...It is a cake which will be presented to a financial banker who may be the one to help me open my own baker....Crossing my fingers....I am so nervous.

Congratulations LaBellaFlor!
Tonight, I have one, 3 tier,20's themed, black/red/white, topsy turvy. I stuck the top tier in the freezer to firm up so I can handle it easier. I swear...those things irritate me so! I do the 'hole' technique and regardless of how many times I measure and account for the slant and the possible extra icing, I still get the freakin' hole too small and wind up trimming it out some more! While the top firms up, I'm going outside to smoke and think...the decorations for this is becoming close to all but the kitchen sink on it! oof!
Leah, there was a site with a visual tutorial on how to clean the doohicky on the tank when they get clogged...something to do with using a needle and pulling out that plug and ...it'll take a bit for me to find it, 'cause like everything else, I found it while searching for something else.
Aundrea--I can't wait to see pics of the smurf cake, I love those little blue guys.
Brandy---good luck girl!
I've got 4 cakes this weekend. Two baby showers, one 60th bday, and a 2 tier fall wedding display cake for a catering shop I supply to. Going to be a LATE night. I have to get them all done (or at least mostly) tonight because I'm attending the 60th tomorrow. I had my last cup of coffee at 8pm and I'm considering another...
Tonight was my first time using an edible image. I got mine printed elsewhere though so I'm afraid I'm no help to you Leah.
all4 - that sounds like what I need!
The print head is clean now.
Working on a two tier birthday cake...made the MMF today, divided, colored two of the divisions green and blue and left the rest white. Cake cooling on the rack as I type. Will torte it in a bit and then wrap it and freeze it. Tomorrow I'll work on the decorations...let them dry overnight and then Sunday is final decoration day.
Good luck Brandy! Sounds like a VERY important cake!
No cakes for me tonight...just wanted to say hi to all y'all ladies working hard tonight
Speaking of edible images, I saw someone on craigslist selling (trying to sell) them for $25 each. Is that kind of high for them or should I invest in a printer too?
texasrose- 25/per sheet? yes that is high. you can do much better else where.
still baking cakes and trying to get motivated to finish fondant work. ugh!
its raining so hard, and my bed keeps calling my name.
I charge $10 per sheet for EIs. Well, assuming I can get the printer to work . . .

Recipe by seahorse73
From Gourmet Magazine minus the Curry Powder
Top Review by MarielC
This is the basic recipe that I use. An easier cooking method is to use the microwave as long as you have one with a rotating tray. Line the tray with paper towels, about 12 of them so that they overlap and they tray has no areas left uncovered. Place the rumaki around the edge of the tray in a circle. Microwave on high for 15 to 20 minutes, the time really depends on your microwave so watch them carefully. The paper towels absorb the grease.

Citation Edit
OBH, Inc. v. Spotlight Magazine, Inc., 86 F.Supp.2d 176 (W.D.N.Y. 2000) (full-text).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff, owner of The Buffalo News newspaper, sought a preliminary injunction against defendant's use of the domain name "thebuffalonews.com" for a website purportedly designed to parody and provide a public forum for criticism of The Buffalo News. The site, however, also provided hyperlinks to defendant's own apartment rental guide business and local newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
In granting a preliminary injunction on plaintiff's claims for trademark infringement, dilution by blurring, and unfair competition, the court rejected defendant's argument that it did not use the name in commerce and that it did not use it with any goods or services.
The court emphasize four aspects of the facts: (1) hyperlinks to defendant's own commercial website competed with a similar service plaintiff offered, (2) hyperlinks to plaintiff's competitors diverted potential customers away from plaintiff, (3) the "international nature of the Internet itself made defendant's use of its domain name a 'use in commerce' for the purposes of the Lanham Act," and (4) defendant's use of plaintiff's trademark affected plaintiff's ability to offer its services to its natural audience, i.e., those seeking The Buffalo News online.
The court also rejected defendant's other defenses. The disclaimer on defendant's website indicating that it is a parody and commentary site not affiliated with the newspaper did not remedy the initial-interest confusion, which diverted customers from plaintiff's site. Nor did defendant's site constitute a parody because it relied on confusion, not recognition, to make its point. Finally, defendant's use of the domain name was not protected expression under the First Amendment because the domain name itself was not part of a communicative message, but rather served as a source identifier.

Why 2016 election polls missed their mark
The results of Tuesday's presidential election came as a surprise to nearly everyone who had been following the national and state election polling, which consistently projected Hillary Clinton as defeating Donald Trump. Relying largely on opinion polls, election forecasters put Clinton's chance of winning at anywhere from 70% to as high as 99%, and pegged her as the heavy favorite to win a number of states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that in the end were taken by Trump.
How could the polls have been so wrong about the state of the election?
There is a great deal of speculation but no clear answers as to the cause of the disconnect, but there is one point of agreement: Across the board, polls underestimated Trump's level of support. With few exceptions, the final round of public polling showed Clinton with a lead of 1 to 7 percentage points in the national popular vote. State-level polling was more variable, but there were few instances where polls overstated Trump's support.
The fact that so many forecasts were off-target was particularly notable given the increasingly wide variety of methodologies being tested and reported via the mainstream media and other channels. The traditional telephone polls of recent decades are now joined by increasing numbers of high profile, online probability and nonprobability sample surveys, as well as prediction markets, all of which showed similar errors.
Pollsters don't have a clear diagnosis yet for the misfires, and it will likely be some time before we know for sure what happened. There are, however, several possible explanations for the misstep that many in the polling community will be talking about in upcoming weeks.
One likely culprit is what pollsters refer to as nonresponse bias. This occurs when certain kinds of people systematically do not respond to surveys despite equal opportunity outreach to all parts of the electorate. We know that some groups – including the less educated voters who were a key demographic for Trump on Election Day – are consistently hard for pollsters to reach. It is possible that the frustration and anti-institutional feelings that drove the Trump campaign may also have aligned with an unwillingness to respond to polls. The result would be a strongly pro-Trump segment of the population that simply did not show up in the polls in proportion to their actual share of the population.
Some have also suggested that many of those who were polled simply were not honest about whom they intended to vote for. The idea of so-called "shy Trumpers" suggests that support for Trump was socially undesirable, and that his supporters were unwilling to admit their support to pollsters. This hypothesis is reminiscent of the supposed "Bradley effect," when Democrat Tom Bradley, the black mayor of Los Angeles, lost the 1982 California gubernatorial election to Republican George Deukmejian despite having been ahead in the polls, supposedly because voters were reluctant to tell interviewers that they were not going to vote for a black candidate.
The "shy Trumper" hypothesis has received a fair amount of attention this year. If this were the case, we would expect to see Trump perform systematically better in online surveys, as research has found that people are less likely to report socially undesirable behavior when they are talking to a live interviewer. Politico and Morning Consult conducted an experiment to see if this was the case, and found that overall, there was little indication of an effect, though they did find some suggestion that college-educated and higher-income voters might have been more likely to support Trump online.
A third possibility involves the way pollsters identify likely voters. Because we can't know in advance who is actually going to vote, pollsters develop models predicting who is going to vote and what the electorate will look like on Election Day. This is a notoriously difficult task, and small differences in assumptions can produce sizable differences in election predictions. We may find that the voters that pollsters were expecting, particularly in the Midwestern and Rust Belt states that so defied expectations, were not the ones that showed up. Because many traditional likely-voter models incorporate measures of enthusiasm into their calculus, 2016's distinctly unenthused electorate – at least on the Democratic side – may have also wreaked some havoc with this aspect of measurement.
When the polls failed to accurately predict the British general election in May 2015, it took a blue ribbon panel and more than six months of work before the public had the results of a data-driven, independent inquiry in hand. It may take a similar amount of time to get to the bottom of this election as well. The survey industry's leading standards association, the American Association for Public Opinion Research, already has an ad hoc committee in place to study the election and report back in May (Pew Research Center's Director of Survey Research Courtney Kennedy is chairing the committee).
Pollsters are well aware that the profession faces serious challenges that this election has only served to highlight. But this is also a time of extensive experimentation and innovation in the field. The role of polling in a democracy goes far beyond simply predicting the horse race. At its best, polling provides an equal voice to everyone and helps to give expression to the public's needs and wants in ways that elections may be too blunt to do. That is why restoring polling's credibility is so important, and why we are committed to helping in the effort to do so.

We both voted for Clinton, but we hung up on every pollster. I think she's right that the Comey bombshell started a process of her numbers falling which didn't have time to show up in the polls. The other false story about the Clinton Foundation came on its heels and even though it was retracted many people never saw the retraction. In short, we have series of dirty tricks but since we have a Republican Congress they will probably never be caught.
Everybody lies…..But, the only variable is about what!
People are tired of being polled. Sometimes give answers opposite to what the intend to do.
Another factor may be that there are so many polls done by political activist groups who immediately follow-up their questions with a request for donations from those who have indicated agreement with the pollsters position. Many of the people who would have supported Mr. Trump would not be the type of people who would be inclined to make political contributions. I realize that not all polls are done by political activist groups, but without being well informed, it is difficult to perceive which pollsters are and which aren't. I did not support Mr. Trump, but I did indicate support for the other Republican candidates in congressional and senate races. As a result, I received an avalanche of contacts soliciting donations to be used to advance the reelection of members of congress and the senate. So, the lesson learned here is that if you don't want to receive that avalanche of solicitations, don't respond to polls.
A great deal will be "learned" from the exit polls as the pollsters and pundits seek to justify their existence. Why would the exit polls be any more accurate than the other polls?
I've been active in politics many decades now and told all my people NOT to answer any polls, even facebook as early as last March. I said that campaign managers look at polls to determine where to pin point workers and advertising. There were many other things we did and did not do. We knew all the professionals and more importantly the Media would try to lie HIllary into office which they did. The riots today are largely result of her voters making assumptions about the future based on those lies. Yes, you will have to pay for your own abortion. NO you will not be denied the chance to abort.
he Media stuff helped the down ballot candidates. Over confident Democrats never suspected that Trump people would be largely voting the whole ticket and we never said anything openly about it.
Has anyone considered that maybe the pollsters weren't wrong, and that there were unknown variable they weren't able to account for?
"Restoring credibility"? You must realize for a lot of us, you've never really had it! This just seals it. I watched CBS and NBC implode trying to explain to themselves how they could be so wrong; believing their own scripted, lopsided fantasy we've been hearing for the last year and a half. The problem is not the system, or the data, or the interviewee; but you, personally, and the media. That is the mentality that wants to produce the information the mainstream media wants to hear. If I were to give it a clinical name for it, it would be "Predisposition-Polling-Syndrome". The psychology of it would insist that the person will not get better or understand a solution, until they first recognize their indigenous problem; and as I read your article, you do not understand. You look first to others being the problem; "cast the beam out of your own eye first, then you will clearly see the speck in the others eye". You have called me and I've answered your questions, but please don't ever do that again until you can honestly say you've don't some serious personal home work that insures the public you are not in concert with the media as a source of unbiased information, and not a tool to manipulate and sway opinions by grouping trends – you are being held in contempt, as much as the media knows they are. So, please reboot and start; not with me, but with you.
The polls missed their mark because they dont do a thorough sampling. I am a family of four Republicans and we werent called, and dont know anyone who was. Where are they polling? All along I suspected this was the case and felt confident he was going to win. And he did.
This morning (Wed 11/9) I received this email from my girlfriend, a staunch Trump supporter.
"Tell me, I would like to understand how can the polls all over be so wrong?
Maybe a lot of hidden Trump voters?
My daughter is not happy also like you
But America has spoken!"
I decided to take a day off from technology market research and try to answer her. Note that this reply is to someone with no training in statistics or polling methodologies.
Why Were the Polls So Wrong?
There are two primary reasons why the polls spectacularly failed get to even close to accurately predicting the outcome. First – what the pollsters felt was the correct way to segment the population, and second, relying on self-reporting.
The idea behind polling is to ask a small (relative to the total population) number of people who they are going to vote for, and then apply the percents to the total population. This works if the sample matches the population proportionally for the demographic variables that are most important in influencing the future decision. If 85% of the sample is male then this is not a good sample to use to directly project to the total population. In practice, weights are used to correct for differences between the sample demographic distributions and the population distributions.
The problem and the cause of the polling mistake in this case, are in the choice of which demographic variables to use. The model that was applied over weighted gender and race, and, as far as I know, exclude the most important variable, child-rearing phase. The sample design also over-weighted self-interest at the expense of group interest.
The second flaw in the process was a failure to recognize that self-reporting, always a high variance risk, was further compromised because of the relationship between the subject and the observer. For many subjects, asking whom you are going to vote for is akin to asking them how often they kick their dog. Because the media was active in linking Trump to perceived negative behavior, and the pollsters are perceived to be linked the media, under-reporting intention to vote for Trump was inevitable, and should have been accounted for.
Why Did Trump Win?
Over the course of designing and executing hundreds of consumer market research studies, I observed that the single most import factor influencing future household and personal purchasing decisions was the Child-Rearing Phase, Pre-, Early-, Late- and Post. Why should voting behavior differ?
There was an inherent assumption made by the pollsters, and many political strategists that personal self-interest would trump (not intentional) group self-interest, specifically the household. This has turned out to be hugely (again, not intentional) wrong. Women were faced with the choice of voting for Clinton based on gender and political correctness issues, and or Trump based on the promise of increased economic and physical security. More women chose increase economic and physical security than anticipated.
Similarly, more African-Americans had to choose between a candidate who offered more personal safety (less "law and order") or a candidate who offered more family economic security – jobs. Group identity will more often prevail over individual identity, and in this case, genes beat memes.
One other factor may have had a significant influence on the outcome. Simply put, those who intended to vote for Clinton, but did not because they assumed she would win, did vote, would she had won.
Steve Daniel, President
Daniel Research Group
Everyone dismissed the all the polls that people posted online on social media sites that showed Trump winning because they were not scientific. Heck even their Facebook accounts should mire people favored Trumps page the Hilary's.
Polling was not as bad as everyone says it was. The problem was in the analysis of the data in search of a headline. To my surprise, respected analysts like Silver and the NYT's Upshot analysts let their headlines get away from their analysis. Polls predicted that Clinton would win the popular vote, and she did with a margin that was within the 95% confidence interval for most polls. We do not elect presidents by picking the candidate who wins a plurality of votes. Clinton lost the electoral vote and this is where the analyses went haywire. To predict the electoral vote the major analysts relied on state polls that had greater margins of error. They had smaller samples. They had different screens for likely voters. They were not all conducted at the same time. Yet, the major analysts accepted these polls at face value in many cases. If they modified that at all they did so by factoring in the state's history and ignoring the fact that the last two presidential elections had a relatively unknown African-American candidate who promised hope and change. This time the winner in many states was a relatively unknown white male who promised change. Somehow the big shots missed that. They should have stuck to reporting the numbers, the methodology, and the caveats.
I have a theory. We took time from our jobs to vote but not to reply to a poll.
I don't get the obsession with polling. We have an election, we vote based on the information presented, it is counted. In the case of a presidential election each state with the exception of two cast their electoral votes based on the popular vote in that state. A winner is declared. That official act happens in a matter of a week or two. Simple!
Yet millions of $$ are spent in elections to predict (and IMHO sway voters) who will win. That information is sold. One has to ask why and for what purpose? It is a flawed concept from the get go and we wonder why it failed and will spend many more $$ to attempt to scientifically predict the unkown. Put the $$ to better use.
Pollsters were inadvertently affected by the strongly biased media. I felt I had to vote for Trump to balance their influence (balance, hah!).
Polls themselves seem to be created to give the media something to hype about when they run out of human-interest fodder. What is their benefit anyway?
I have something that the pollsters might want to think about. How about not just including registered or likely voters. Include all eligible voters… because when you have someone who is unconventional, it attracts people who don't normally vote. But, that is not the only reason people who weren't active before 2008 became active since then. They're angry but they don't trust 90% of those running, and who can blame them?
I think election polls should be banned. They tend to influence rather than document. The polls are posted every night on all the news channels to the point you want you seek refuge someplace. Someone that is unfamiliar with a candidate or measure sees the polls, aren't sure how they feel on the subject and say to themselves "Well, 51% are for it so I might as well vote that way too. They must be more informed than I am". People don't want to appear wrong so they tell the pollsters what they want to hear based on the recent polls they have seen on the news. If the polls weren't posted every hour on the hour maybe they would have more validity. Unfortunately in an election that is never going to happen.
I am personally tired of the news media and the pollsters telling me what I should think. I am not shy about my opinions but will share them at the poll and not to some person from an unknown phone number calling from who knows where. That's why caller ID is so useful.
Where are the 6,000,000 voters from 2012 election?
How can they disappear because they didn't vote Republican.
Did they abstain or were the voting rules too prohibitive requiring Identification prior to being allowed to vote?
Nah, I believe that it is because they didn't like either candidate…
The pollsters were wrong because they were NOT seeking public opinion. They were seeking a self fulfilled prophecy. The media is losing credibility because reporting is no longer a unbiased representation of facts. Rather. The media is putting its Big Foot in the Door in a effort to Create the news. Too lazy to report the news? Force feed the public Editorial Opinion to sway the outcome.
Yes. And pollsters are just another arm of the media influence peddling imo. The phrasing of questions can be misleading in them as well.
All the polls predicted a high turnout for Clinton, particularly among Hispanics. It seems that that many did not vote, because polls showed that she was a shoo-in and didn't need their vote, and because they saw the long lines at polls
What people missed is momentum. Sanders and Trump got the momentum. Sanders started too late for his momentum to beat Clinton. Trump's momentum rolled over every primary candidate and it continued to defeat Clinton. Clinton did not have momentum.
I have an answer for our family when it comes to surveys, research, telephone polls and so on. We do not participate in them because we believe in our right to privacy. We are not shy of our political views and the majority of our family members hold degrees so we are also educated. You may want to consider restructuring your process in predictions of the average American.
Ideological insularity is thy name. When you live with, work with, and socialize with those who share the same types of education, income levels, life experiences, and political perspectives, you necessarily create a number of blind spots in your own decision making processes.
It is the "Shy Trumper" Hypothesis. Many were not truthful. If you intend to vote a certain way and is not consistent with being "policitically correct", many will lie or tell the pollster what they think the pollster wants to hear. Many thought voting for Trump was being political incorrect (or being a different view than mainstream media).
John Kearney :
We were scared to voice our opinion/preference because of the weapon of the left.
Hint: it starts with capital I…..
The "problem," as I see it, is that voting in this country is getting harder for many people – notably those who vote Democratic. Several Republican-controlled states instituted voter ID laws that made it hard for certain populations (often black or Hispanic or college students) to acquire the necessary paperwork. Student photo IDs were disqualified in some states, while a NON-photo gun license was made a valid form of ID. In Texas, women had to get new driver's licenses with their maiden names included. In other areas, if one form of ID has your middle initial and another one doesn't, your vote is immediately nullified. After creating a law requiring photo ID to vote, Alabama closed the DMV offices in majority-black counties. There were purges of the voting rolls in several states. I come from a state where many in the Hispanic population commonly come to the polling place to find themselves not on the precinct list, despite registering to vote over and over. Native Americans are often labeled as "not interested" in voting for president and national offices, but will vote for more local officials. In reality, of course, that isn't true; the votes for such offices are conveniently stripped from the ballot. I grew up close to several reservations and this has been going on for decades. The US voting "machines" that were REQUIRED by HAVA supposedly tally people's votes, but make no paper copy that can be double-checked. Such machines are considered proprietary and cannot be investigated by anyone except the manufacturing company. There is one organization devoted to finding out what really happens inside these "black boxes". Democratic districts are often given fewer voting machines, which creates long lines. Some states have banned voting by people who have been committed for various crimes while other states do not. Even in states where those who have paid for their crimes have their right to vote returned, many are instead TOLD they DON'T have that right. For this election, international election observers slammed the US for having a system that effectively denies access to the ballot for large chunks of the American public – to the point where our laws and tactics resemble those found in some 3rd world countries. I can assure you, when the polls (especially the exit polls) differ markedly from the final results of the election, one of the possibilities that needs to be investigated is that there was cheating and stealing involved.
honestly, i believe that the bias that was involved in this case was tremendous, yes. i agree with all of the author(s) that created this article.

Before you install Service Pack 1 on your Windows 2k8R2 XenApp 6.0 server, remember to apply the correct hotfix...
I didn't. So, i got a couple of errors (30001 & 31003) and had an office of about a dozen people who couldn't access any of their applications. After messing around with it for a while, i tried to uninstall the SP. It wasn't my first choice, but i had run out of ideas.
The uninstall froze. After 2 hours on the "Do not shutdown your computer" screen, it had gone 4%. I did some math and decided that i didn't want to wait another 48 hours for it to finish. So, i did a hard reboot & called Citrix support. They gave me the right hotfix and it is running merrily - assuming that my messing around with the service pack didn't break the guts of the OS.
So, you know those times when you feel really stupid? Yeah, i am having one of those.

what is the correct hotfix?
Sep 13, 2011 at 10:30 UTC
BCS TechSource is an IT service provider.
There are several - different versions of the same one. The lowest version (no longer available) ends in 001. The version the rep gave me ends in 086 - but that version of the fix isn't available to the public at the time of this post.
The Hotfix page for XenApp on Server 2k8R2 (http://support.citrix.com/product/xa/v6.0_2008r2/hotfix/general/public) shows which hotfixes are superseded by each available patch so you can find it that way.
Sep 13, 2011 at 11:30 UTC
ah aight - thanks!
Sep 14, 2011 at 6:18 UTC
This ctx article gives you the recommended Citrix and MS hotfixes for XA6 and w2k8r2.
I put together a script that will in stall them all. Here ia a link to my blog along with a dropbox link to download the required stuff.
I try and update when Citrix updates this.
I hope this helps out.

missing formAsked by wanecek on March 08, 2016 at 02:22 PM
When I log in I do not see any forms in my account. I am wondering what happened to the imported form a colleague shared with me that I have been using. The link is live and can be used so I know the form exists somewhere but it's no longer in my account where it used to be.

I was reading the Canterbury Tales and finished the Wife of Bath's Tale. TL;DR the story teaches several lessons, one of them being what women want. When the knight went near and far to find the answer, he received too many different answers. Some saying women wanted material items, good sexual pleasure, many different partners, freedom, no judging on faults, seen as perfect, et cetera. However, the final answer came out to be that what all women really want was self rule over their husbands or lovers and for him to place her above himself. All the women in the court, young and old, agreed and the knight was right.
Anyways, do you agree or not agree with this outlook on what women want? Keep in mind that this is what ALL women want, not individual wants. Anyone want to elaborate or explain this answer or theirs, too?
- Yes, women want power over their partners.Vote A
- No, women want something else besides power over their partners.Vote B
- Both answers are partially correct.Vote C
- I have no idea!Vote D
Most Helpful Guy
Women all seek power over their partners but if the actually get it, they lose respect for him. Once they no longer respect the man, they lose interest in him. What they want and what they need are two different things. Seeking power over her man is the way women test men to see if he is strong and worthy enough, to remain her partner. Most women don't even realize they test men like this. This is why they tend to be more attracted to a**holes over nice guys. It wouldn't be a problem, but boys are currently being raised to be weak and always cave into what the woman wants. This has created weak men that women are not happy with.10|10|0

I agree that it appears tasteless but not necessarily stupid. Aren't the AA cards about gathering application information? So, they might still be interested to know the make up of their application pool. Still, they don't appear overly organized...
They've made a logistical error: applicants are much less likely to fill out the AA card if they know they're already out of the running for the job.
I think you're right. I accidentally forgot to send my card in and I can't seem to find it now. Oh well.

text: Guests planning to attend the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Perryville, Oct. 6-7, can save money and avoid long lines by purchasing advance tickets online. The Kentucky Department of Parks is offering advance tickets for the first time, with savings of between $5 and $7.50 on the ticket price. Advance sales will be available through Sept. 28. Parks Commissioner Elaine Walker is urging guests to buy tickets in advance to save money and reduce waiting lines. "This is a great new service we are offering for the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Perryville," Walker said. "It's an easy way to get tickets and avoid a long wait at the park." The Battle of Perryville was the largest Civil War battle in Kentucky. More than 7,600 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. Each year Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site commemorates the battle with re-enactments, living history programs, battlefield tours, authors and book signings, period entertainment, vendors and more. Online tickets for adults are $15, compared with $20 at the gate. Advance tickets for children ages 6-12 are $7.50, compared with $15 at the gate. Guests ages 62 and older can purchase advance tickets for $10, compared with $15 at the gate. (There is a per ticket convenience fee of $0.95 charged for online purchases.) To purchase advance tickets, visit http://kentucky.gov/perryville. You will receive an email confirmation and should bring that with you on the day of the event at the will-call booth. Also new this year is free admission for fourth-grade students who are studying Kentucky history (in fourth grade as of October 2012) with a paid adult admission. Online tickets for paranormal tours are also available (for ages 12 and above). Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in uniform will be admitted free. (Scouts who are camping pay a $5 fee, but need to register in advance by visiting www.perryvillebattlefield.org. Adult leaders not camping pay regular admission.) All current and former members of the military also are free with military ID. Food vendors, gift shops, and sutlers will be at the park during the weekend. Visitors should be prepared to walk by wearing comfortable shoes. They may also want to bring a chair and allow time to get to the park and battlefields due to the crowd. (There is no seating at the battles.)

United Airlines wasted no time implementing contingency plans to replace services provided by soon-to-be estranged partner Atlantic Coast Airlines after a district court injunction prompted Mesa Air Group to drop its takeover bid for the Sterling, Va.-based regional. Last month the bankrupt major airline recruited St. George, Utah-based SkyWest Airlines to assume responsibility for Atlantic Coast's ground-handling operations in Binghamton, N.Y., State College, Pa. and Nashville, Tenn. SkyWest expects to place 15 to 20 employees at each location and complete the transition in April.
Atlantic Coast provides ground service for United at 15 airports under its code-share contract, expected to end once UAL exits bankruptcy protection. In late December United scrapped plans to issue Mesa Air Group a new code-share contract covering Atlantic Coast's entire network if Mesa's takeover bid succeeded. United cited the court injunction, issued after the judge said ACA presented enough evidence to validate its claims that Mesa and United colluded to thwart its attempts to open a new discount airline from Dulles International Airport dubbed Independence Air.
