wikiHow to Measure Ounces
Four Methods:Measuring OuncesMeasuring Fluid OuncesEstimating OuncesConverting to OuncesCommunity Q&A
Ounces are a measurement of mass or weight, and as such, you should use a scale when measuring ounces for a recipe, experiment, or similar procedure. In contrast, fluid ounces are a measurement of volume, so they are measured in a different manner. Note that there are also ways to estimate mass in ounces if precision is not necessary, and if required, you can easily convert a few other units of measurement into ounces.
Measuring Ounces
1Place your dish on the scale.[1] Most substances you'll need to measure will need to be poured into a bowl or other container as you measure them. Place this dish on your scale while it is still empty.
- The "ounce" refers to a unit of measurement related to weight or mass. Do not confuse this with "fluid ounce," which refers to a unit of measurement related to volume.
- Ounces are part of the American Standard measurement system and not part of the Metric system. Their equivalent within the Metric system is the gram.
- Make sure that you have a scale that can measure in American Standard.
2Zero it out. With the dish on your scale, "tare" or "zero out" the weight. Doing so resets the scale so that its current conditions are considered the new "zero" mark, and as a result, the weight of your container will not interfere with your measurement. This process will vary depending on the scale type and model you use.
- For most digital scales, you will only need to hit the "On/Clear" button again to zero out the scale. Some scales may have a separate button labeled "Tare" or "Zero," though.
- If using a mechanical scale, you will need to manually turn the knob back to the zero mark to reset it.
- For balance scales, simply set the pointer to the center mark.
3Slowly add the substance being measured. Add your ingredient or substance to the dish on your scale. Carefully monitor the reading your scale gives you as you add the substance to avoid adding too much to the dish.
- If you add too much, simply take some of the substance out of the dish.
- If you are trying to find the ounces of a set amount, you can add the substance all at once instead of adding a little at a time.
- Note that this measurement should be in ounces.
4Zero out the scale again before adding a second substance. If you want to measure out a second substance directly into the first, you must first zero out the scale as you did when you first put the dish. Afterward, add your second substance a little at a time until you measure out the correct amount of that substance, as well.
- Repeat as needed for all substances or ingredients needed.
Measuring Fluid Ounces
1Grab a measuring cup or graduated cylinder. If possible, choose a liquid measuring cup that has marks for fluid ounce on it.
- Unlike ounces, fluid ounces are a measurement of volume. A single fluid ounce does not necessarily equal a single ounce.
- Use a liquid measuring cup instead of a dry measuring cup. Liquid measuring cups have pour spouts and handles, while dry measuring cups have an even rim.
- Fluid ounces are part of the American Standard system. The Metric system uses milliliters and liters.
- Most graduated cylinders and beakers only measure in milliliters, but if you can find one with measuring marks for fluid ounces, these options are also acceptable.
2Pour the substance into the container gradually. Slowly add your substance to the measuring cup until you measure out the desired amount of fluid ounces. If your pour too much into the container, simply pour a little of it back out.
- You should keep the measuring cup on a steady surface, like a table or counter, when measuring out your substance. Look at the cup at eye level, from the outside of the cup, to ensure an accurate measurement.[2]
- If you are trying to measure the fluid ounces of a set amount of liquid, you can pour the entire amount into your cup at once without having to worry about doing so a little at a time. Make sure that none of the substance splashes out as you work, though.
3Make a note of the measurement before adding a second substance. If you want to measure out a second liquid as you combine it with the first, you need to make sure that you write down or otherwise note how much of the first liquid you measured out. From there, you can pour the second liquid into the first and measure it as you did with the first.
- Note that your new measurement will need to equal the sum of the amount of fluid ounces you measured for your first liquid plus the amount of fluid ounces you need for your second liquid.
- Repeat as needed until all of your liquids have been measured out.
Estimating Ounces
1Understand the pros and cons of estimates. An estimate should never be used when you need to know the precise number of ounces, so you are strongly advised to use a scale when following a recipe or some similar set of instructions. If precision is not required, however, you can use your hand to estimate the number of ounces for most foods.
- A good time to use this is if you are dieting and quickly need to estimate an amount of food for the sake of portion control.
- Note that this only works if you have an average sized adult hand. Moreover, since all hands are different sizes, you may or may not have success using this method of measurement.
2Estimate 1 ounce of meat or cheese. Place the meat or cheese on the meaty, thick part of your thumb, right along the base. For dense foods like these, this usually measures out to about 1 ounce.[3]
- More specifically, the portion of your thumb you need to use is the part extending from the lowest joint to the base of your hand.
3Use the palm of your hand to measure out 3 ounces of meat, fish, or poultry. Place the food directly into the palm of your hand without cupping it. For dense foods like these, this will usually come out to roughly 3 ounces.
- Keep your hand as flat as possible during this estimate. Only curve the hand slightly, and only if needed to prevent the food from slipping off your palm.
4Roughly measure out 1 to 2 ounces of nuts or pretzels. Cup your hand and pour the food into it. For less dense ingredients, like pretzels, this will usually measure out to about 1 ounce. For heavier nuts, this measurement is usually closer to 2 ounces.
- Keep your fingers closed and contain the food completely within the cupped portion of your hand.
Converting to Ounces
1Determine ounces from pounds and tons. Ounces, pounds, and tons are all parts of the American Standard system, so you can directly convert pounds and tons into ounces.
- There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.[4] To convert pounds to ounces, simply multiply the number of pounds by 16.
- There are 32000 ounces in 1 ton. To convert tons to ounces, multiply the number of tons by 32000.
2Convert grams to ounces. If you know the amount of a substance in grams, you can convert that unit of mass into ounces with a simply calculation. There are 28.35 grams in 1 ounce, so you can determine the number of ounces by dividing the number of grams by 28.35.
- For a quicker, less precise means of conversion, you can memorize a few estimates commonly used in everyday applications, like cooking.[5]
- 15 grams = 1/2 ounce
- 30 grams = 1 ounce
- 85 grams = 3 ounces
- 100 grams = 3.75 ounces
- 115 grams = 4 ounces
- 225 grams = 8 ounces
- 340 grams = 12 ounces
- 450 grams = 16 ounces
- For a quicker, less precise means of conversion, you can memorize a few estimates commonly used in everyday applications, like cooking.[5]
3Estimate ounces from spoons and cups. You should use a scale to measure ounces whenever possible. Different foods and substances have different masses, so measuring the volume of one with a cup or measuring spoon will never give you an accurate reading. That being said, if you only need an estimated quantity, you can determine the number of ounces based on the number of spoons or cups used.
- Memorize the following common estimates for everyday use:
- 3 tsp = 1 Tbsp = 1/2 ounce
- 2 Tbsp = 1/8 cup = 1 ounce
- 4 Tbsp = 1/4 cup = 2 ounces
- 5-1/3 Tbsp = 1/3 cup = 2.6 ounces
- 8 Tbsp = 1/2 cup = 4 ounces
- 12 Tbsp = 3/4 cup = 6 ounces
- 16 Tbsp = 1 cup = 8 ounces
- 32 Tbsp = 2 cups = 16 ounces
- Memorize the following common estimates for everyday use:

Westall Brigitta 4 ReviewsReview for Dr. Westall
I had been a client of Dr. WestallÂs and canÂt speak highly enough about her. Seeking help for depression, I found her to be kind, caring, and non-judgmental. She remained patient with me even when I was difficult. She is professional, takes her position seriously, and had a sincere desire to see me get well. Part of helping me involved being honest with me which often involved telling me things that were difficult for me to hear. But it was for my growth and, as hard as it was at times, I benefitted greatly by it. I have overcome my depression and gained confidence in myself as a result of her counseling and guidance. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Furry Friends

This is Baby Cox (on the right!) of Tramore, Co. Waterford. No idea what breed of dog the toy on the left is supposed to be, but it must have been very snuggly for a child to cuddle up to. The furry beast in between was a little confusing at first. Did try to fathom a species, until I spotted it in another Cox family photo – it's a ladies' fur muff!
Voting can now commence as to whether this is "a boy or a child"? (Is it a boy or a child was allegedly the traditional question asked of new parents, i.e. child = girl!)

After talking to some friends about Harry (my lovely westie) having trouble with his skin and itching i was recommended LoveDogs by the lovepets company. Initially I was sceptical of buying of relatively unheard (to me at least) brand of dog food. This being the case I decided to do some research into the food.
Turns on this stuff has super high meat content as well as a load of added nutritional value. As they were offering a trial run of the product i decided to give it a go.
within no time at all Harry stopped itching. i couldn't believe it!
Ever since his skin problems has become significantly better.

I agree. Offer split screen. It never hurt anyone except the people who have to share smaller screens.
Split screen is a terrible idea
You can by ask him register on bungie, add plus or live in his account, borrow your console to him and play it when you busy.

Lesa Voglianowrote a review of Vasque Velocity GTX XCR Trail Shoe - Women's on January 2, 2006
The sizing grew!
This is the best trail shoe I have ever run in, and I have tried the top ten or so over the years. The traction is superb. I have never fallen in them even on ice. I have broken my ankles in the past, so I require a sturdy shoe, and this is it. The Gore-Tex is perfect for running through mud and small streams. However there is still the balance of enough flexibility to make them fun to run in. But this is my second pair and I ordered the same size and they are way too large.

Steiner LAS/TAC 2 Class 1 IR Pistol Laser
Civilian Legal Eye-Safe Infrared Pistol Laser
You save $182.05 (58%)!
Following the wildly successful launch of Steiner's Class1 Eye Safe Infrared Laser series, TNVC is proud to be the exclusive distributor of the Steiner LAS/TAC2 Class1 IR Pistol Laser Series! The LAS/TAC2 Class1 lasers use the same housings as the legacy LAS/TAC2 pistol lasers and lights, but replace the modular head with Steiner's proven Class1 IR laser diode. Now, civilian shooters have the opportunity to own a pistol-mounted infrared laser.
The LAS/TAC2 is available in several different mount configurations to accommodate various popular pistol accessory rails. The options include Mil-Std 1913/Picatinny Rail, Standard/Weaver Rail, Glock® Rail, and H&K ® Rail. A quick-detach mounting system allows the LAS/TAC2 to be quickly added or removed from a pistol without the loss of zero. An included tool is used to adjust windage and elevation. The LAS/TAC2 series is completely modular, featuring a removable head that allows users to swap between different attachments in the line (not included).
Ever since the original release of the rifle-mounted Class1 IR lasers, customers have been clamoring for a pistol version. After all, it is very difficult to use your pistol's iron sights while wearing night vision goggles. Generally, a weapon-mounted IR laser is required to effectively engage targets/threats while using NVG's. Now, the wait is finally over. The LAS/TAC2 Series is a great way to bring your sidearm into a no-light fight. Compact and durable, the LAS/TAC2 Class1 IR laser offers more than enough power provide serious targeting capabilities out to the longest of pistol ranges. The Class1 laser diode projects a 0.1mW infrared beam.
The LAS/TAC2's housing is similar in size to other pistol accessories on the market, allowing it to fit the same polymer holsters molded for the Surefire X300. The LAS/TAC2 series can be purchased with or without a remote pressure pad.
In the past, some small-time companies have attempted to build home-made modified IR lasers and sell them on the tactical market. These units did not hold zero and were generally poorly constructed- more suited to toys. Now, for the first time ever, a major government contractor is producing civilian-legal IR lasers in quality Mil Spec housings. Finally, the commercial market has something readily available at affordable prices.

CALGARY - Drew Tate has four potential new targets.
Looking to bolster the pass-catching depth, the Calgary Stampeders inked Dominique Johnson, Marquay McDaniel, Maurice Price and Fred Rouse to contracts Tuesday.
Three of the players are no strangers to McMahon Stadium, as Rouse and McDaniel both spent time on the Stamps practice squad last season, while Price had a short stint with the Red & White in 2009.
McDaniel comes with the most CFL experience, as the 5-foot-10, 205 pounder started last season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he was the Ticats nominee for the CFLs Most Outstanding Rookie in 2009. In 10, the 27-year-old had 76 catches for 998 yards and seven touchdowns for the Tabbies.
The 6-foot-1 Price, 26, spent 10 weeks on the Stamps practice roster in 09, before touring various NFL camps the past two seasons.
Rouse was signed by the Stamps last fall but only lasted two weeks on the practice squad. The 6-foot-3 former top-recruit signed with the Florida State Seminoles out of high school in Tallahassee, starting the 06 Orange Bowl for the Noles but then transferred to Texas-El Paso, before finishing his college career at Concordia-Selma.
Johnson brings serious size to the position at 6-foot-3, 230 lb. The 23-year-old signed with the NFLs Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last summer, but he was released in August.
The Toronto Argonauts signed CFL veteran Jarious Jackson to back up prized QB acquisition Ricky Ray Tuesday.
The 34-year-old was released Feb. 1 by the B.C. Lions after spending seven seasons on the left coast. Jackson attempted just 22 passes last year behind the CFLs Most Outstanding Player, Travis Lulay.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers added two new defensive coaches to head coach Paul LaPolices staff Tuesday.
Will Plemons will coach the defensive line, while Chip Garber will lead the linebackers.
Garber spent the last two seasons as the Argonauts defensive co-ordinator.

A Russian court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit claiming that Madonna traumatized minors by speaking up for gay rights during a concert in St. Petersburg.
Russia seems like a lovely place to live for the open-minded.
According to the Huffington Post, the ruling came after a one-day hearing that bordered on the farcical. Plaintiffs claimed that Madonna's so-called "propaganda of perversion" would negatively affect Russia's birthrate and erode the nation's defense capability by depriving the country of future soldiers. At one point, the judge threatened to expel journalists from the courtroom if they laughed too much.
Why not? The whole thing sounds funnier than a Monty Python episode.
The Moskovsky district court in St. Petersburg ended up throwing out the Trade Union of Russian Citizens' lawsuit and the 333 million rubles ($10.7 million) it sought from the singer for allegedly exposing youths to "homosexual propaganda."
They did know they were booking Madonna … right?
Madonna did not attend the trial, and her publicist Liz Rosenberg said Thursday the star wouldn't comment about it.
Anti-gay sentiment is strong in Russia, particularly in St. Petersburg, where local legislators passed a law in February that made it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors. Six months later, Madonna criticized the law on Facebook, then stood up for gay rights during a concert in St. Petersburg that drew fans as young as 12.
"Who will children grow up to be if they hear about the equal rights of the lesbian lobby and manly love with traditional sexual relations?" one of the plaintiffs, Darya Dedova, testified Thursday. "The death rate prevails over the birthrate in the West; young guys are becoming gender neutral."
Let's leave Justin Bieber out of this.
The plaintiffs submitted evidence about gay culture drawn from Wikipedia pages, claiming that a real encyclopedia could not have articles about homosexuality. Right. The pages would immediately catch fire.
"We aren't against homosexual people, but we are against the propaganda of perversion among minors," Dedova told the court. "We want to defend the values of a traditional family, which are currently in crisis in this country. Madonna violated our laws and she should be punished."
Madonna, who performed in Moscow and St. Petersburg in August as part of her world tour, also angered Russian officials by supporting jailed members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot. The American said during her Moscow concert that she would "pray for them," then turned around so the audience could see the words "Pussy Riot" written on her back. The singer also donned a ski mask similar to those worn by Pussy Riot.
Despite international outrage, three of that band's members were sentenced to two years in jail on hooliganism charges for performing a "punk prayer" at Moscow's main cathedral, during which they pleaded with the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from President Vladimir Putin. One of the Pussy Riot members was later released from jail on appeal, but the other two were sent to prison camps to serve their sentences.
So much for all those "reforms" in Russia.

Tolkien Gateway > Council > Gondor
I'm no expert in Tolkien, but I believe that in the article "Gondor," the White Tree is described as planted in the incorrect city. I would change this myself, but I don't want to mess things up if I'm incorrect.
- No, I'm pretty sure that's correct. A seedling from the tree of Minas Ithil was taken to Minas Tirith later, but originally it was planted in the former location. By the way, if you want to pose a question like this, it's probably a better idea that you do it in the article talk (see the tab "discussion" on the Gondor article) rather than the forums. --Narfil Palùrfalas 09:03, 3 January 2008 (EST)
Ya. In 'The Fellowship of the Ring' at the Council of Elrond, Gandalf and Boromir make it known that AFTER the War of the Last Alliance, Isildur returns to Minas Anor for a little while, and, in memory of Anarion, plants the last sapling of the White Tree. However, prior to this Isildur had already planted a sapling of the tree in Minas Ithil.

Surviving Katrina
From hell and back
August 30, 2006 at 2:34 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Renee helped at the hospital until she was evacuated and ended up at the Convention Center at the height of the madness. The heroic middle-of-the-night rescue of Riddick and 26 fellow workers and two Australians by the St. Charles Parish Swat team made front-page news. Her story, " To Hell and Back" won first place in our paper's best news story category at this year's Louisiana Press Association's competition. On Katrina's anniversary I thought it would be good to give an update on Riddick to our readers.
This young mother said after the babies were evacuated from Memorial Hospital, she worked with other medical professionals to keep sick patients cool by fanning them on four hour shifts, and sprinkling them with cool water to help keep their body temperatures down. Whatever care could be offered was done to help make stranded patients more comfortable. She herself had been working since Saturday and had plugged in her cell phone when they had generator power. Riddick and the other nurses were huddled on air mattresses to try to get some sleep when the water rose over the third generator in the basement and the air circulation and the lights went out. On Wednesday she would be taken by boat to catch a bus.
It was expected that the hospital windows might blow out and the water would come up. In fact, it was almost surely expected that thugs on drugs would run out of their drugs and find their way to the hospital to get more...and she and the nurses might be killed if they did. In fact the reason they would be sent out of the hospital was because it was a place with drugs.
That's when things went from bad to worse, she remembers; when they were put on the last boat out and ended up on an island of despair called the Convention Center. And the promised rescue busses were no-where to be seen. She and her supervisor with her two small childrenwere dropped off in the pitch-black darkness on that terrible Wednesday night. She said she could not even see that they had been brought to the Convention Center. There were a lot of police cars, she remembers with their lights flashing, but they were just sitting there around the building.
Somehow, others from Memorial were located with the help of a tiny candle. Riddick took out a t-shirt she had brought and laid it down for the children to lie on. For their supper she had found a Pop Tart she had in her bag. She remembers fanning the children with her birth certificate, but there was no sleep for the grownups who kept watch.
People were thirsting for any drinkable water, but none was around where they were and she said she knew a porta-potty was too much to hope for. Druggies were roaming the area with their flashlights selling drugs and alcohol. Their supply of flashlight batteries and drugs seemed unlimited thought Riddick.
Around 1 or 2 a.m. early Thursday morning after the police cars left, several large, dark coach busses came to the Convention Center, remembers Riddick. She and her nurses were excited about being able to leave but stayed behind because the people dashing out to the busses seemed too unruly; screaming and all. In fact the people were so out of control the busses left. They ended up staying at the Convention Center from early Wednesday night until Thursday around midnight.
When daylight came on Thursday, they saw tanks and big army trucks and police cars just passing by, but Riddick says they didnt stop to help. The nurse said she walked up to one of the guys driving a tank and asked what they were doing. He told her he could not talk to her.
Then a quirky little guard tried to line everyone up for the busses. This is when they waited in lines from noon until 6 p.m. and the busses did not come. At this point Riddick did not know if she would live or die. She was so thankful that her children were safe in Texas, because one of her children she thought would have been too thin to survive without food.
In desperation, Riddick tried to call her husband, and somehow her call went through. The first plan was to walk over the bridge and get picked up by St. Charles deputies on the other side. But some of the nurses wouldn't be able to make the trip, so they decided not to go. Since there were 28 of them staying together the number seemingly gave them more safety. People who tried to cross the bridge were being turned back by this time.
The second plan was to be picked up in a schoolbus near the Convention Center under the cover of darkness. When the St. Charles Sheriff's deputies showed up, Riddick said they just stared at them because they didn't think anyone would really come to help them.
Nurse Riddick says she is doing well now, but currently has to take medication to keep her stress level down. She gets heart palpitations without it and even got dizzy when she was shopping in the local Walmart. Her doctor explained to her that the body can feel stress even though the person is not aware of it.
Riddick mentioned that a lot of her friends had to quit nursing after their harrowing evacuation to the convention center. According to her these former nurses can not work at hospitals anymore and needed a whole career change.
She can no longer look at the weather channel if a hurricane is coming and does not want to be exposed to too many Katrina pictures. She thinks she is doing OK because she is not afraid to come out of her house, she has taken up gardening as a hobby and she has a job as a lactation nurse. She currently works 32 hours a week in the Breastfeeding Center at East Jefferson Hospital in Metairie.
This busy mother has also started her own business called Babys Way Lactation with Tracy Dufrene. They help young mothers learn how to master the correct nursing techniques.
Her story is included in Pat Yoes book Chest Deep and Rising, the story about what happened after Katrina from a law officers point of view.

How many years passed between the formation of The American Legion and the Auxiliary?
Zero. The American Legion Auxiliary was recognized as an organization in Article XIII of the Legion's Constitution, adopted at the first National Convention in Minneapolis, 1919. The organizing committee of The American Legion decided to build the Auxiliary from the ground up, to carry forward the phases of Legion activities more suitably (as went the thinking at the time) performed by women – to both support the Legion in its activities and to conduct activities of its own, parallel and separate alike.
In less than a year, more than 1,300 local Auxiliary units were formed across the country. The second year, 1920, focused on organizing departments. Pauline Curnack, who worked for the Legion and was in charge of organizing the former into the latter, would later become the Auxiliary's first national secretary. This work progressed well enough that the Auxiliary had its first national convention in November 1921 in Kansas City, Mo., alongside the Legion's third national convention. The two organizations' conventions occur during the same timeframe, in the same city, to this day. Edith (Mrs. Lowell S., Sr.) Hobart of Ohio was elected the first national president.
Today, the Auxiliary boasts a membership of nearly 800,000 and continues the tradition of supporting the Legion and its principles – from the parallel Girls State and Girls Nation, to VA volunteer programs and a separate Poppy Program.

We are completely undecided on a name with a week to go. Pretty desperate for some outside input, I am not going to list my faves and have removed them from my signature.... just based on our other children's names, what would you name their little brother?
Older brothers are Colten James and Chase Michael. Last name sounds sounds like Owen. Middle name options honouring family are Daniel, Robert, or William, but we are open to using something that sounds good if those don't work for a particular name, if we love it. Our only real criteria is that the name matches in feel to our other boys' names. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Canada's own Darcy Oake wowed the crowd and the judges, but he didn't take home the top prize on Britain's Got Talent.
Despite going all out with a death-defying stunt in his final performance, the Winnipeg-born magician finished fifth out of five finalists in Saturday night's live finale of the talent-search series.
For his final trick before the BGT judges and millions of British viewers, Oake was strapped into a straitjacket and suspended upside down by a burning rope six metres above the stage in an open bear trap.
Oake was allowed only 53 seconds to escape and narrowly missed the teeth of the trap as he wriggled out of the jacket and dropped to the stage with seconds to spare.
For his efforts, Oake, the son of veteran CBC sportscaster Scott Oake, pulled in 8.5 per cent of the viewer votes, which put him in fifth place overall.
The cleancut musical-theatre boy band Collabro were the winners of the competition with 26.5 per cent of the viewer vote.
Regardless, the BGT judges were suitably impressed by the young magician's sendoff appearance on the series.
Oake's final performance prompted BGT judge Simon Cowell to remark, "We are witnessing the birth of a star."
And to his credit, Oake remained true to his politely Canadian roots even after he lost the competition.
On Sunday, Oake went onto his Twitter account (@DarcyOake) to tell his fans and supporters, "Seriously I can't thank you all enough. This has been the most amazing journey of my life!"
Kim Kardashian said happy birthday to new husband Kanye West by sharing a picture of the couple kissing. On Sunday, the reality-TV fixture went onto Instagram to post the picture in honour of her rapper hubby, who turned 37. The black-and-white picture shows the pair smooching at their recent wedding reception and was accompanied by the caption, "Happy Birthday to my husband and best friend in the entire world! You have changed my life in more ways than you know! The way you look at life inspires me! I love you so much!"

Who's that celebrity on the front of Nicolas Cage's T-shirt? Why, it's Nicolas Cage. The Facebook page for the touring version of Guns N' Roses raised eyebrows by posting a picture of the actor backstage at a recent show at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. In the photo, Cage appears with comedian Andrew Dice Clay and is wearing aviator shades, purple blazer, cowboy hat and, perhaps strangest of all, a shirt with his own face on front. The cartoon depiction of Cage is believed to be taken from his 1989 film Vampire's Kiss.

Rihanna is the most desired female in the world, according to the higher powers at Spike TV. The Barbadian pop diva collected the trophy for Most Desirable Woman at last weekend's Guys Choice Awards in Las Vegas.

The unlikely musical teaming of Snoop Dogg and Psy has resulted in an even more unlikely single. On Sunday, the rapper and the South Korean pop star released the track Hangover, which, as the title suggests, focuses on the physical miseries that transpire after over-imbibing. In the accompanying music video, Psy is shown waking up after a night on the town and immediately purging himself. Snoop Dogg lends vocal support and assists his new friend in shaking off the morning-after blues.

This is the final installment of in-depth evaluations on the top 40 prospects leading up to the 2012 NFL Draft, which runs Thursday-Saturday. Today: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor.
Strengths: Griffin has spectacular game-changing athleticism and elite passing skills. He appears to be comfortable setting up and getting rid of the ball quickly with good velocity and accuracy on quick hitting routes like slants and skinny posts. Griffin has deep accuracy with an ability to drop the ball into a receiver's hands, 30-plus yards down the field.
When he feels the pressure, he moves quickly to avoid it. Griffin then resets his feet to make strong and accurate throws.
— Colts make it official: Luck is No. 1 | SN's Luck analysis
He also makes big plays scrambling with the ball. When he is forced from the pocket, he does a great job of keeping his head up and eyes down the field to try to find an open receiver.
Griffin has shown a willingness to stand strong in the pocket. He doesn't panic with pressure in his face and force passes into bad spots to avoid sacks. He is willingness to throw the ball away rather than take a loss, a difficult lesson to teach a quarterback.
Perhaps more significant than Griffin's physical skills are his outstanding intangibles and leadership. These traits will make him a star in the NFL.
Weaknesses: Griffin has a thin frame, especially below the waist. This raises concerns about his durability. (Vital stats: 6-2, 223 pounds, 4.40 in the 40-yard dash)
— NFL.com: Breaking down Luck vs. Griffin
When Griffin spends a lot of time in the pocket to make deep throws, his release can become elongated with a wind-up. He must improve as it gives a defender the chance to close quickly on the ball.
Griffin tends to throw to the target rather than leading the receiver. He must improve in this area. On intermediate and deep routes, too often he tries to make touch passes. He needs to throw those passes with more velocity to become proficient on the 18-yard dig and out route throws. He must do a better job of protecting the ball when he scrambles.
Draft status: Griffin will be the second overall pick by the Washington Redskins. As a fourth-year junior, Griffin made the right decision to come out early. He improved tremendously during his college career. As a result, he's an elite prospect with the tools to be an impact quarterback.
Many gush over his athleticism, playing speed and arm strength. But those physical skills are half the equation. Decision-making and unflappable pocket poise are traits that will enable Griffin to take advantage of his physical talent. Consequently, he will lead an NFL offense to a very high level.
Although Griffin must learn to play under center, this will not affect his future success. Griffin should secure the starting job as a rookie.
Griffin has often been compared to Cam Newton and Michael Vick. Griffin should be compared to Steve Young because of their athleticism and excellent passing skills coming out of college.

Fight climate change: eat more meat
Huh? Isn't meat production one of the major causes of global warming? Well, yes… but according to Lisa Hamilton, author of Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness, eating meat raised under the right conditions can actually help mitigate climate change.
In a post at Audubon Magazine's blog, Hamilton argues that livestock raised as part of a larger sustainable farming operation (not the much more prevalent confined animal feeding operation) keeps greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture to a minimum. Citing the example of farmer Jason Mann, Hamilton observes:
Mann thinks of it like a bank account: Every time he harvests an ear of corn or a head of lettuce, he withdraws from the soil's fertility; if he doesn't redeposit that fertility, the account will hit zero. He could truck in compost from 250 miles away, or apply synthetic fertilizers to make the vegetables grow. But by his carbon calculation the best option is to return that fertility by using livestock, particularly cows. They do more than keep his soil rich. When managed properly, cattle can boost soil's ability to sequester carbon. Their manure adds organic matter to the soil, their grazing symbiotically encourages plant growth, and their heavy hooves help break down dead plant residue. Some proponents argue that highly managed, intensive grazing can shift cattle's carbon count so dramatically that the animals actually help reduce greenhouse gases.
The kicker: in order to make this arrangement economically sustainable, Mann must eventually slaughter these cattle and sell the meat: "If they stand around eating all day but never produce more than manure, they are a net loss." So choosing to eat meat produced as a part of a larger agricultural ecosystem supports sustainable farming economically… and contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions. As Hamilton notes, "…if you want to use your food choices to impact climate change, by all means follow… [suggestions] for a meatless Monday. But on Tuesday, have a grass-fed burger-and feel good about it."
Does that mean vegetarians should rethink their position? Not necessarily… there are a whole host of reasons to follow a plant-based diet. But carnivores can do their part by ensuring the meat they do consume comes from sustainable, humane sources.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Bassists [BG]' started by 456Spectwick, Jan 21, 2014.
I have yet to see anyone mention this band or style of music. Sooooooo Opinions?
Not a huge fan of technical death metal (actually, not a fan at all), but right up until the growler started growling I was sold. Don't think I've ever seen techdeath involving tapping on a fretless bass. Rather impressive, and a good sound.
Sort of cool seeing a fretless used this way... The singing (if it can be called that) turns me off. Good playing though.
Yeah I'm not really a fan of the looooong drawn out shred fest or the monotone death vocals but I found the playing interesting enough to hear the whole song.
I really don't like the growling, but the bass parts are really cool! Fade by Aghora is also a song with some fretless bass, I preffer that one because noone growls in it, haha!
I've heard:
Sean Malone
Jeroen Thesseling
Joe Lester
Robin Zielhorst
Steve DiGiorgio
Forest LaPointe
The guys in Opeth (sometimes)
The dude in Porcupine Tree (sometimes)
Lars Norberg
Anybody know of any other predominantly fretless players in metal? Particularly interested in black and doom metal.
Of course, you can't have a thread on this subject without posting *the* defining moment of fretless bass in metal :
I'm also a big fan of Sean Malone's playing on Cynic's "Focus"
Yeah Beyond Creation is something and a band from my City.
This is the bass player :
I thought the fretless tones were cool within that genre but generally felt the tapping and much of the bass player's other hand movements were strictly for show and the camera. Within that type of a heavy overall sonic wave tapping on a fretless with the inherently faster note decay seems a little pointless. To me. Tapping solos are kind of cool. I like tapping where I get to pull off something that would otherwise require 3 arms.
I love playing fretless in metal. I just posted a track from the late 90s where I used my 6-string Aria Pro II Avante. I'm debating whether to resurrect this bass currently. The pickups and pre-amp in it are inferior so I stopped using it.
This is nothing like Forest LaPointe, but the solo section is really fun!
Surprised that Linus Klausenitzer from Obscura hasn't been mentioned.
That was good. Would listen again.
Great player, but the music is a little too 'polished' or 'pretty' for my tastes when it comes to death metal. To me, the ultimate fretless death metal bass playing has to be this:
Death had the big time fretless player. i personally think it sounds awful and silly and detracts from the music, but the guy can play. had he played that stuff on a fretted it would have been awesome, instead all his lines are honked all over the place with goofy slides haha.
Flavius Misarăș from Dor De Duh is pretty frequent fretless player
Also, Forest is awesome and has been a major inspiration in my fretless playing. His tone in that video is straight Jaco IMO.
I've seen that video a couple of times, nice stuff they've got.
I think they are (heavily) influenced by Obscura. Their ex-bassist, Jeroen Paul Thesseling, is a pioneer of the fretless metal bass players.
I couldn't disagree more! I love Steve's playing, and I think Individual Thought Patterns sounds superior to Human in large part because the bass is mixed higher...
Funny I'm your opposite. Fretted bass has a tendency to disapear because they put to much overdirve/distortion and copy the guitar line. At least this guy can be heard and quite well and he also do some arrangement which add a lot to the music instead of two lines or just a wall where eveyrone play the same thing like Cannibalcorpse
Thank you for this! I love Negura Bunget and totally forgot that this project existed.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Friends of the Arava Institute, Boston, MA, USA
Joining the Arava Institute was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had during the spring of 2008. Arava Institute brings me to a different world where I can see how some people in the other side can be my friends at the time I used to pre consider them to be my enemies. A desert hike with two Jewish and one Muslim friends without fears or conflicts is one of the things that Arava gave me the opportunity to experience it.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Very helpful, caring, and knowing what is the best thing to do in any situation.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
One time
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

It was with a heavy heart that I read about the untimely death of LISD's Carl Knight (A-J, 1-20). As a 7th grader, I first met Coach Knight at O.L. Slaton Junior High in 1960. He towered over us at nearly 7'0". I'm still in awe of him.
Over the years, as a dedicated teacher and principal, he continued to demonstrate the quintessential role model and mentor for us boys. I can think of not one student or person who was not touched positively by Coach Carl Knight.
Even in later years as I worked for him at LISD, he was still "Coach" to me. He will always remain "Coach" to us. It is the highest tribute of respect we can pay to him for his unselfish gift to all of us.
Rest now in your good place, Coach. Your good guidance will live on in all of us.

text: Good Morning! I made this quilt for a family that has two small boys and another child on the way. I cut denim circles out of pants and then 5" squares out of novelty scraps for an I Spy like quilt. It is large enough for parents and kids to sit on outside. Heavy also. I really like the way the edges of the denim circles fringed when I snipped them. Of course the washing machine was a mess after I washed it. This quilt was fun to make.

Schumer: Not all Democrats may back immigration reform
February 1, 2013 | 11:10 am
Sean Higgins
Washington Examiner
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., one of leaders of the effort to craft a comprehensive immigration reform bill, conceded a point Thursday often lost in the coverage over Republican divisions on the issue: Not all Democrats will likely support reform either.
According to a report in Politico on Democratic nervousness on the issue:
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), one of the leaders in the group, has been candid about the fact he might not be able to get the support of the entire caucus. Instead, Schumer said hed like to see the bill pass with broad bipartisan support.
Im not sure we will have every single Democrat but we want a large number of Republicans to be able to vote for this bill because we think that will encourage the House not only to move forward but to pass a bill, he said Thursday.
Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised that legislation will go through regular committee order and that will ultimately be key to producing a bill that gets a wide swath of support, Schumer said.
Schumer said the 2007 deal failed because of a labor-backed amendment introduced by then-Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) that would have ended the temporary worker program after five years. Many Senate Democrats, including then-Sen. Barack Obama, supported it.
Hopefully, such an amendment would be brought up in committee, we would see where the relative strength and weakness of that amendment is, and wed modify the bill so it could pass, Schumer said.
For more on the Democrat/Big Labor opposition to immigration reform see my column on how the 2007 Kennedy-McCain bill died and this column on Big Labors more recent efforts to negotiate a deal with the Chamber of Commerce on a guest worker program.

EDMONTON - The Edmonton Eskimos are expected to make announcements on their assistant coaching staff as early as this week.
Well, early is one way to describe it, I suppose, considering general manager Ed Hervey called it a priority way back during his search for a new head coach.
"I'm going to hire the head coach with the best staff," Hervey said on Nov. 4, during a press conference announcing the firing of head coach Kavis Reed.
Twenty-two days later, Chris Jones was hired.
But since then, there hasn't been a peep from the Eskimos as to any assistants.
Not an official one, anyway.
One interpretation of Hervey's statement is the Eskimos were looking for someone who already had agreements — informal ones, at least — in place with assistant coaches and that the staff was pretty much predetermined.

Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run Race Goals
When I signed up for this race back in December, I had big goals. I thought I would take three weeks off after Goofy and then jump right back into training. I had my eye on a sub 1:20, but unfortunately, my piriformis and non-firing right glute had other plans. I wasn't even sure until the last week or two whether or not this would be an easy training run, tempo effort, or race. Since I've made significant progress and been able to return to regular workouts, I'm going to be racing on Sunday.
I have no idea what to expect. I've only done three tempos and two interval workouts, so I feel like my speed training is certainly lacking. I also feel like I'm still working myself back into shape and am not anywhere near where I was last fall when I ran the Army Ten Miler and set my current PR. Leaving me to believe that going for a PR this weekend isn't all that realistic. However, if I look at my long run paces from late September and early October before that race, they are actually significantly slower than what I have been doing in the last few weeks. And while my times at the track are slower than what I was running in November right before the Philadelphia Marathon, they are actually slightly faster than where I was in early October. What exactly does this mean for Sunday's race and pacing? I have no idea. I think it's fair to say that my brain is most definitely not in racing shape, but perhaps my fitness is not quite as bad as I believe it to be.
I've decided that this is a great opportunity for me to test out my new watchless approach in a race. I'll run based on effort and see what happens. This has worked well on my last few long runs and it takes my "I'm not in shape for this pace right now" brain out of the equation. Maybe I'll surprise myself with a PR and maybe I won't, but I think it will give me a realistic assessment of where I am right now. And with my real focus on racing for a half marathon PR in May, that's all I really want to know.

Send me all your race times and all workout stats by week from the past year, and I'll do a multivariate regression to inform you of what your time will be.
Or, you could just run.

Good luck! I think you're right with your approach and that you'll end up doing better than you think you will because you won't be overly thinking/worrying about how you're doing.
I'm excited to hear what you think of the race itself - I think I want to do the lottery next year and try to run this one myself.
Have fun!

I'm excited for this race for you. I think you flipped on some "fast" switch before Philly last year and your results from here on will reflect that. Good luck!

I ran the RnR 1/2 knowing I wouldn't do as well as I wanted. I actually did a lot better than I initially thought, granted the last 3 miles sucked!! Just enjoy yourself out there!

Do any of you ladies know how to make a good carpet shampoo out of inexpensive ingredients?
I am planning to rent a shampooer tomorrow, but the large bottle of shampoo costs $20.00 and I know it will not be enough to do all my carpets.
I have tried making my own before but end up with suds and bubbles everywhere. Carpet shampoo is not supposed to make suds. I need something that will freshen the smell of the house too.
Any ideas will be a blessing- thanks in advance!


text: Does anyone have experience of owning a lawn business as well as working full time? I've been a full time P.E. teacher for 7 years but started a lawn business about 2 years ago. I've had as many as 20 accounts last summer and now have about 10. Is this turnover normal? I think I do good work but I've lost accounts due to all kinds of reasons. Most cancel due to either a bad communication about an invoice, canceling service in the winter, or just not satisfied with the work. I'm thinking of expanding a little and having a two man crew run the business when I return back to my full time job teaching in a few weeks. I'm getting tired of cutting grass every single Saturday for the last 2 years. Of course if teachers got paid what they deserve I wouldn't be having this discussion.

Once again this year, betrothed couples took each other's hands and exchanged vows on the most romantic of holidays.
If you've ever dreamed of having a Valentine's Day wedding, you might be interested to know what some couples across the country did for their own version of a February 14 shindig.
According to MSNBC.com, some people participated in mass weddings featuring as many as 560 couples, while others took a skilift to get married or renew vows atop a mountain. One couple in London even got married submerged in a fish tank at their favorite aquarium.
The moral of the story? When planning a Valentine's Day themed wedding, you really don't have to be boxed in by any sort of convention, although featuring a few pink and red accents and having a number of cupid-inspired details is always nice.
Offering guests heart-shaped measuring spoons or tea infusers will be an appreciated gesture. Make sure to have plenty of jordan almonds and mini hearts candy around to satisfy everyone's craving for sweetness on this holiday.

From Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish, a reader writes in to remark on the continued place of youtube, twitter and the camera phone in Iran's struggle:
Watching your continuing coverage of the people of Iran continuing their fight for freedom I was struck, and touched, by the presence, in every picture, in every piece of footage, by the universal presence of cellphones and cameras. No matter how chaotic, no matter how frightened they may be, the protesters held their phones high. Not a brave few but a brave many pressed into the violence, stood right next to the regimes thugs and pointed their cameras. It seems like the ultimate act of defiance; no matter how you try to shut us down or shut us up, we will expose you. You can kill us, but the world will know that we never stopped fighting.
I urge you to continue to use your platform to show us this incredible fight. Before this started, the people of Iran seemed alien and vaguely threatening. Now, I see a young woman, veil shoved back and cellphone in the air, and this lefty atheist woman sees a sister clear across the world.
I sometime imagine that what we write about here is not important, but then a post like this comes along and reminds me that gadgets are more than toys and corporate tools for some in this world. And it makes me very happy.

Bailey hits back over Twitter jibes
Pregnant X Factor winner Sam Bailey has hit back over criticism that she has ruined her career.
The 36-year-old former prison officer announced last week that she is pregnant with her third child, in the run up to the release of her debut album and tour.
She told OK! magazine: "I've had a bit of negativity... Just a few people on Twitter saying 'your career's going to be over' or 'that's your career down the pan'."
She added: "I'm always going to be working no matter what. I'm living proof you can do it, whether you're pregnant or have kids already."
"So many people do it. Myleene Klass does it. Victoria Beckham does it - she's got four and she's still working."
Sam, who won the last series of the ITV talent show, had to reschedule her tour to make way for the baby.
Some fans took to Twitter claiming: "She'll be forgotten before she has even had success."

Ditto on what jopey said with regard to the Intel PC Camera. I have one and it is excellent. Tried a few other brands such as Logitech and Kensington, but I felt the Intel was better.
I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff so I got a question. My video card (Leadtek GeForce) has a TV out.. will this work as an input for a camcorder?? If not I am thinking about the CL webcam.
Press any key to continue . . .

I use a RCA camera along with a vid capture card, would run around 350 or so, 299 for cam and 45 for card, its a tuner card too, so you can hook in cable or sattelite into the connection on the back.

If you want to use your cam-corder as I do the best low priced capture card is the Matrox G400TV, it is also your video card. Check out the www.videoguys.com . I havE a video camera , but my system is way too slow to add anything else to it. Waiting for my Athlon 700 system, then we will cook. Price for Matrox G400TV is about 299.00
All good things come to those who wait!!!!

Ethanol Extract of Cordyceps militaris Grown on Germinated Soybeans Attenuates Dextran-Sodium-Sulfate- (DSS-) Induced Colitis by Suppressing the Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Inflammatory Mediators

The effect of Cordyceps militaris (CM) grown on germinated soybeans (GSC) in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) model was studied. To demonstrate the preventive effect of GSC extract in a dextran-sodium-sulfate- (DSS-) induced acute colitis mouse model, GSC was administered 2 days before DSS coadministration. GSC significantly suppressed DSS-induced disease activity index (DAI) as well as histopathological scores, compared to control or CM-treated group. To elucidate the anti-IBD activity of GSC, we checked the level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inflammatory mediators. GSC extract decreased the level of MMP-3 and -9 mRNAs and p53 proteins. The level and activity of LPS-induced MMP-9 were reduced in GSC-treated RAW264.7 cells. It also attenuated the level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α mRNAs both in colon tissue and in macrophage cells. These results suggest that GSC can be applied as a protective agent against IBDs.

Ludacris ft. Plies - Nasty Girl
Since Ludacris' recently-released Theater of the Mind is presented as a movie-themed concept album (right down to the co-stars), allow us to give a little spoiler for those who haven't picked up a copy yet: right after the key scene in which Luda, Chris Brown, and Sean Garrett boast about their knowledge of the female psyche, the scene shifts to a woman who maintains high class in public, but behind closed doors reveals herself as a Nasty Girl. With Plies playing a supporting role (this kind of scene is just his type), Swizz Beatz departs from his usual percussion-heavy sound, opting instead for a smooth, synth-driven beat. If you still haven't picked up your copy of Theater of the Mind, make sure you do so very soon – after all, there's a good reason why it was one of only five albums in '08 to pick up a 4.5 "Near-Classic" rating from our own Nathan S.

A's raise more than $24,000 for charity
By Ben Estes / MLB.com
For 13 years now, Oakland has held the popular charity event, benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund. Two hours before Wednesday's game, fans went to the Eastside Club at the Coliseum to buy MUG Root Beer and Orange Crush floats being served by current and former A's players and local media personalities.
Among the A's that scooped ice cream and poured in root beer and orange soda were outfielder Jonny Gomes, shortstop Cliff Pennington, reliever Jerry Blevins and manager Bob Melvin. Blue Moon Odom, Terry Steinbach and David Justice were several of the former players that chipped in to help as well.
Melvin has a personal connection to the cause, as his daughter, Alexi, was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes as a teenager.
All told, the night raised more than $24,000, all of which will go to the JDRF. Besides float sales, money was also raised via tips given in exchange for scoopers' autographs and pictures and a silent auction of sports memorabilia.
Oakland has raised more than $353,000 for the charity since 2003 through MUG Root Beer Float Day.

In the latest episode of Anything That Costs the Government Money is Bad, Oklahoma GOPers are stifling the development of the OKPOP museum — a
75,000-square-foot art and culture museum slated to be built in Tulsa —
by withholding the necessary appropriations from the state's 2015 fiscal
Clearly, they can't comprehend the facility's potential
"Until we
get a better idea of our revenue picture from the Board of Equalization
in February, we can't commit to anything that will have a budget
impact," Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa, said.
advocates of the project say the museum will be self-supporting,
offering a place for public gatherings and events — which, in turn,
would generate revenue.
are not taking our foot off the pedal at all," Oklahoma Historical
Society Executive Director Bob Blackburn said. State funding for tornado
relief efforts has put a damper on the project — or has at least given
state officials an excuse to spend less.
But don't they know the museum will have an original puppet used by Clarence Nash — the voice of Donald Duck — who was born in Watonga?
C'mon guys! This is Donald Duck we're talking about here!

Fujitsu scoops Responsible Business of the Year 2015 at BITC awards
Global technology giant Fujitsu scooped the title of Responsible Business of the Year 2015 at this year's Business in the Community's Responsible Business Awards.
Taking over the mantle from National Grid, the company was recognised for embedding responsible business practice into its business strategy and for its multi billion pound investment into technology as a force for good to address global challenges such as tackling pollution and congestion in cities; advancing agriculture to feed more people globally; and monitoring health problems to assist the elderly to live well for longer, judges said.
The company also challenges industry norms - half of all its budget holders are women and it recruits twice as many female graduates as the technology industry average; apprentices are paid 50% higher than national minimum wage, and it has pioneered datacentres powered by 100% renewable energy.
Duncan Tait, head of EMEIA region for Fujitsu commented: "Projecting forward 20 years, world population growth, energy issues, air pollution, food and water shortages and an ageing population will impact every government and business. Solving these issues responsibly will be a fundamental driver of a business's ability to grow and become financially sustainable.
"The collective actions of business leaders today will shape the future of our planet. It is our duty to convince the leaders of tomorrow to build shared value creation into their business models. This should be the only accepted norm as it is the only way companies can truly be sustainable."

Homeschool and baby sitting??
I just began hs for my 9yr old son last week, we are still trying to figure out a schedule or get use to be at home!! I was asked to bbysit 2 4 yr old prek boy n girl! This could fall into some extra cash but most important is it worth trying to figure out a way to take care of kids and teach at the same time :( I need some advice from mommas that have more than one child!! Its usually just me and my son. Please any advice
Could you do the school work that he needs your help with before &/or after the children leave? Have him do anything that he doesn't need your help with while they are there & even make some of the activities friendly for them to do too!
Welcome to the group! :)
With you son being 9 he is most likely able to do a fair amount of work independently. Keep in mind homeschooling takes less time than when they are in a brick and mortar building. For his age about 3 hours a day is plenty.
The kids will be here from 8-4:30 M, W, Fri then on T, Th they go to private school till 11:30 so I have them after. I have to have lunch and they say nap for each one at 12 so I should get in plenty time after 12 for sure for help my son needs. Maybe Im taking harder than it really is...lol thanks girls for all your help, I do feel more confident in taking time with my son and helping others out!
Once I get settle i plan on babysitting my nephew but he will be joining us in the homeschool stuff. My sister really wants him to get that experience & he has been asking to do projects and such. He's almost 3.

Scotland's Jamie Mackie has expressed his delight at scoring his first international goal since breaking his leg.
The QPR man suffered the blow earlier this year against Blackburn in the FA Cup and has spent much of the year recovering.
Mackie marked his return to the Scotland setup on Friday with a goal in their 2-1 win over Cyprus.
The 26-year-old has labelled his time on the sidelines as a 'nightmare' and a 'frustrating' period.
"It (the injury) was just a nightmare, it was terrible timing," explained Mackie.
"I was doing really well for my club, going for promotion and really frustrating missing the qualifiers.
"I had just become a regular part of the squad so I was gutted. But that's in the past, I put in a lot of hard work to get myself back at this level.
"Now I feel I'm back and have a bit more experience."
Meanwhile, Mackie has expressed his disappointment that key player Steven Naismith is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after damaging knee ligaments playing for Rangers.
The Rs striker has been one of the beneficiaries of Naismith's absence in Craig Levein's team and he wishes the Gers ace a speedy recovery.
"I'm gutted for Naisy, he's a great lad," he continued. "I was in the squad with him the first time I was here and I really liked him.
"I've been there with a bad injury and I wish him all the best.
"More so than me doing well, I hope he comes back nice and strong because it's horrible when you get a bad injury.
"I'm sure he'll be back and I can't wait for him to be back in the squad because the more quality we have the better."
