Orlando Weekly is an alternative newsweekly distributed in the Greater Orlando area of Florida. Every Wednesday, 40,000 issues of the paper are distributed to more than 1,100 locations across Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. More than 200,000 readers turn to us each week for our events calendar, our coverage of the latest in movies, local music, arts and culture, and food. We also cover provocative stories on topics ranging from sports to sex to cyberspace to City Hall.
The magazine was founded in the 1980s as the Orange Shopper. It was purchased by the Toronto Sun, which changed its name to the Weekly and transformed it into a tabloid publication. The Weekly was then sold to the Detroit-based Alternative Media Inc., a publisher of alternative newsweekly Detroit Metro Times. Co-founder of Alternative Media Inc., Ron Williams, transformed the paper into not just a tabloid but an alternative news source dedicated to investigative journalism. In 1997, Alternative Media Inc. also purchased the San Antonio Current, and by 1998, the company was entertaining multiple offers for its stable of weeklies. In 1999, the papers were purchased by their current owner, Times-Shamrock Communications, a privately held family company based in Scranton, Pa. Today Times-Shamrock owns five alternative newsweeklies: Baltimore City Paper, Detroit Metro Times, the Cleveland Scene, the San Antonio Current and Orlando Weekly.
Over the years, Orlando Weekly has won numerous awards from the Society for Professional Journalists and the Association of Alternative Newsmedia, including a 2009 first place award for investigative reporting for a story on corruption in the Orlando Police Department. In 2012, the paper won second place for reporting on economic inequality from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia.
Orlando Weekly organizes an annual Best of Orlando issue that features the best Orlando has to offer in dining, music and nightlife, arts and culture, goods and services. Each year more than 4,000 readers vote in the paper's readers poll to vote for their favorite Orlando restaurants, bars, boutiques, museums, local celebs and more.
The paper also publishes an annual dining guide called BITE, which features capsule reviews of hundreds of area restaurants, and an Annual Manual, an insider's guide to the region.

In Brief
Upturned Priorities
- Temporal discounting is our tendency to view small rewards available now as more desirable than even much bigger rewards we would get down the road.
- The lure of immediacy plays out in overeating, overspending, abusing drugs, and more.
- The drive to instant gratification appears to be hardwired in humans. But researchers are coming up with strategies for counteracting this impulse and changing shortsighted behavior.
Walk into any fast-food restaurant, and you can watch a small crowd of ordinary people doing something that is utterly irrational: eating junky, excess-weight-inviting food likely to leave them feeling bad about their bodies and open to a host of serious ills. We literally line up to trade our health and self-image for a few minutes of pleasant mouth feel and belly comfort—because the latter is right here, right now, whereas the former is months, years and decades away.
This foolish exchange reflects a glitch in our brains that may wreak more havoc in our lives and in society than any other. Known as temporal discounting, it is our tendency to view small rewards available now as more desirable than even much bigger payoffs down the road. Scientists think this trait may have been programmed into us by evolution at a time when the environment, with its many threats to our survival, favored those who grabbed whatever they could whenever they could get it.

Bose in-ear headphones set a new standard for sound performance that conventional earbuds can't match. Re-engineered from the inside out, they feature an enhanced acoustic design that helps music sound smoother and more natural.
Quality construction combines a secure fit with durability, making these headphones ideal for music whenever you want, wherever you go. And there are options for mobile phone calling and remote music control as well.
Filter Results |
Quality Construction Average SoundPros: These are made very well and the silicon ear piece is incredibly comfortable. Cons: The sound on these is just the epitome of average. I've had 20 dollar headphones that sounded about the same as these. Other Thoughts: I have a pair of the old Bose Triport Headphones and really enjoyed those, but I am sorely disappointed by the quality of these headphones. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
I love these Headphone!!Pros: This is the fourth pair of Bose headphone that I've had. I broke my first pair of ear bud while at the gym punching the heavy bag, got tangled. I have a pair of over ear head phone that I use at home, my last paid of buds just got wore out. I have a pair of the Beats (over ear) and they do not compare to the sound, clarity, bass that these small ear bud provide. These is my first pair of hand free Bose headset, and I'm sure that I will also love the ability to clearly hear my phone conversations. I'm a Bose fan for life! And, as you all know, nobody does it like NewEgg! Order on Sunday night, received on Tuesday afternoon. Cons: None! Other Thoughts: I will be a NewEgg/bose fan for life!!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
comfortable and great soundsPros: Comfort -- these headphones are so comfortable. I can't wear in-the-ear earbuds because they irritate my ears in just a few minutes. But I had these in for hours and feel great and on the plus side they really stay in my ears. Cons: Price -- the price is high, I would like to see them move the price point to sub 100$, it would really open up new markets for them. Other Thoughts: I would defiantly purchase them again. I should have replace my iPhone earbuds early. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
FantasticPros: Fantastic sound clarity, accurate EVERYTHING. Best earbuds to buy, especially with the line-in microphone. Cons: Doesn't fully work with Android, no matter the version of the OS. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sound Great! Stay In Fine!Pros: Extremely detailed sound stage. Lots of effortless bass, and enough clarity to sometimes be disorienting. They don't fall out of my ears despite 8 miles of bike commuting every day. Cons: Somewhat uncomfortable. I might have a funny shaped ear, but they put a little pressure on my lower ear canal. Not bad enough to take away an egg. Other Thoughts: They are not noise canceling, and this is good if you must hear cars and pedestrians through them. Not ideal for airplane rides, perfect for jogging and biking. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great soundPros: Wonderful sound. I changed to the small tips and they fit my ear great, stay in even when working out. Mic pics up more than the Apple earbuds that came with the iPhone. Works great for iPod touch, iPod nano, and my iPad 2. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I know Bose isn't the best audio brand out there, I'm not one of those audio-clueless people who thinks that they actually are. And if you're an audiophile, you shouldn't be using earbuds anyway. But, if you do choose to use earbuds (whether for convenience, not wanting a huge pair of HP on your head, etc.), then these are one of the best pairs you can buy. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great HeadsetPros: Very good headset able to stay in ear no matter the project. I use as grinding and working on cars as a radio and able to hear when my cellphone rings. Has paid for its self in entertainment and usability time and time again. Cons: The ear buds were a little uncomfortable to me at first, but after a week or two were just fine. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Decent.Pros: Comfortable, ships with all sorts of eartips and it's easy to find the right one for your ear type. Cons: Price Other Thoughts: Overall, nice earbuds for comfort and wearing for long periods of time. Not the best sounding, but will get the job done. I'm satisfied with my purchase and hopefully I won't have to replace them any time soon. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
This is THE headset for iPhonePros: The right fit for I suspect any ear, and certainly those ears that hate the Apple-supplied ear buds. They do not 'plug' you ear, like most of the other in-ear headsets. These allow you to have some consciousness of surrounding sounds (which is important in a car while driving, etc.). The other in-ear solutions sound awkward when you speak (kind of like plugging your ear and talking - sounds annoying. And, they stay in while walking, moving, running, etc. Sound is "Bose" quality and as good, if not better, than others (like the Klipsch Si4). Cons: The cord is black and white - could be a little less noticeable. Other Thoughts: Many knock Bose for the price premium and perhaps 'Bose" trademark sounds. Bottom line is these are as good or better than any other solution out there. They are safe to drive with, sound great, and they stay in your ear. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great headsetPros: Amazing sound quality with high range of sound Cons: none atm Did you find this review helpful? |

Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
This is a great casual jacket. Obviously well made and great quality. It's warm and the fit is just tailored enough that I can still feel put together with a great scarf.
Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
I am a college student from upstate NY so every jacket I buy needs to be able to withstand the terribly cold winters. I had a North Face Denali fleece but it got stolen so I was looking for a new fleece to wear around campus on the days when I didn't need a huge winter jacket. I had been eyeing this jacket for a while and, after Christmas, I saw that it was on sale here! I was so excited so I bought it immediately in the purple color (which I also had been admiring). Well, I'm so happy I did because this is one of the best jackets I've ever owned! This fleece is so much warmer than my Denali, especially since this Patagonia is windproof. I got a Medium; I'm tall (5'10") so I wasn't really surprised that it was short in the torso. It's also a tad short in the arms. While being home from college, I have to walk my dog every day and this jacket keeps me so warm on even the coldest days. I would recommend this jacket to anyone!! It is so soft and cozy, too! BUY IT -- you won't regret it!
Service and delivery comments:
This was my first purchase from REI and the service was great!! I got my package a day earlier than expected and the jacket arrived in perfect condition! I will be a long-time customer of REI.
Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
This jacket is wonderful in so many ways, but not in fit. If you are petite or have a shorter torso, you are lucky because this jacket is more apt to fit you!
For those of us who are long and lean, it's not such a great fit. I have tried this jacket on every single year since it first came out, just hoping that Patagonia would make it longer in the torso, and do away with the 'gathering' around the back hem. The front of the jacket bares my stomach and the back puckers strangely (it probably won't do this is you have a shorter torso, it just sits in the wrong place on my back). I sometimes buy XS in Patagonia, but this one would definitely be a S because it's seems pretty slim through the body also (I wear my things fairly fitted, so if you want room for even more layers you might go up yet another size).
Vouching from experience with a men's retro-x jacket (I had one before they came out with the women's version), this fleece and windproof backing is insanely warm. You'll probably get hot if you try to do anything very aerobic in it. Perfect for daily wear in cold climates, belaying, winter camping, etc.
Also be aware that this may be different than other fleeces you've tried on - it is much stiffer due to the windproof aspect. If it fits you correctly, this shouldn't be an issue.
This holds up to washing pretty darn well- my lucky sister has owned one for 5 years and though it's finally starting to show it's age a bit, it has held up incredibly well. She did mention to be careful when washing, as hers shrunk a bit.
Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
This is a very attractive & nice fitting jacket. The side panels reduce the bulk usually associated with garments made of deep fleece.
However, the stiffness of the fleece fabric backing was a problem for me. I purchased one last winter and wore it over a long sleeved cotton shirt. I was very surprised to realize that the stiffness of the fabric back was actually irritating the inside of my upper arms! I have lots of fleece - some are windproof - and this has never happened before. Because the jacket looked so good it was hard for me to take it back, but I knew I wouldn't be able to continue to wear it.
If the fabric is the same this year, you may want to pay attention to the unusual stiffness of the fleece fabric back.
Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
I like this jacket because it is unique. It keeps me so warm, even in Minnesota's notoriously cold weather. I use this jacket on my daily bicycle commute, around town, everywhere. The only complaint I have is that depending on the size you get, it may feel a bit short. I bought both a Medium and Small, (I have another medium Patagonia coat), and kept the Small. I found the Medium to fit well if I wanted it as a regular outer layer jacket to wear bulky sweaters underneath, however because it is so fluffy, the Small actually looked better, because I believe it's supposed to be worn closer to the body (hence the feminine cut). I think it keeps me warmer that way. It's my favorite fleece I've ever owned! (My friend and I both bought it in the same color we loved it so much). Go for it!
Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's:
This is a great jacket for general cool weather wear. Its windproof and very, very durable due to its laminated backing. Sometimes fleece is flimsy and this is definitely not one of them. That being said, the laminate makes it a pretty heavy jacket. Although it is based on a style designed for technical alpine wear (hence RETRO x), this is not a technical product--there are much lighter and more compressible windproof fleeces out there. When you first get this jacket it is pretty stiff, however, after wear and washing it really does soften up. Fit is supposed to be slim according to patagonia's sizing, however, I find it to be closer to the regular fit. Although its not boxy or masculine, I wouldnt highlight its "feminine cut" cause it is cut pretty straight!

Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA)
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
An amendment to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the OWBPA is a federal law that requires employers to offer older workers (those who are at least 40 years old) benefits that are equal to or, in some cases, cost the employer as much as, the benefits it offers to younger workers. The OWBPA also sets minimum standards for an employee waiver of the right to sue for age discrimination, designed to ensure that the waiver is knowing and voluntary.

Here at the Alamo Drafthouse we see it as part of our mission to provide our viewers a first-class film education. Which means not only the sort of movie classics that are seen and discussed in our nation's finer film schools but also movies that have never been seen in any educational context at all.
These movies may be depraved and disreputable in many cases but they represent an important period, now long gone, in both movie and social history.
Since 2001, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has been hosting a series of exploitation classics, especially curated by our own film guru Lars Nilsen: from cheerleaders gone bad to blaxploitation to killer mutant animals to cheesy 80's slashers to women in prison. Many of these films are so obscure that little is known or has been written about them. Some of them are bad, all of them are enjoyable, and a rare few are mind-blowingly amazing. Weird Wednesdays is the vanguard of cinema exploration in Austin. Join us every Wednesday!
Weird Wednesdays are hosted by Lars. Every week he will introduce the movie with a little history and insight. He may also make you laugh - or mortally offend you. No refunds will be given to the thin-skinned or humorless.
Find out more about Weird Wednesday and other Cinephile offerings at The Drafthouse Cinephile Facebook Group.
Read more about these films at Lars' Weird Wednesday Tumblr.
Follow Alamo Programmer and Weird Wednesday host Lars at twitter/larsalamo.
Now that you're hooked on these movies, where can you go to find more? How about I LUV VIDEO? With two amazing locations: 2915 Guadalupe, in front of Spiderhouse, and the huge emporium at 4803 Airport Blvd.

Bengt Stromgren
- ‹ Previous program
- 21 of 2174
- Next program ›
In 1921, Bengt Stromgren and a fellow student were studying stars that are close to the North Star, Polaris. They started collecting data about a half-hour after sunset, but they had to knock off by 10 o'clock -- bedtime for a 13-year-old schoolboy.
Stromgren was born 100 years ago today, the son of a professor of astronomy at the University of Copenhagen. He learned calculus by age 11, and published his first research paper at 14. In college, he studied the new discipline of quantum mechanics, which explains how the universe works on the smallest scales.
Stromgren used this knowledge to explain how stars are put together and what they're made of.
He calculated, for example, that the bulk of a star must consist of hydrogen, the lightest and simplest chemical element. At the time, most astronomers thought the interiors of stars were made of the same heavy elements that make up the interior of Earth. Stromgren also calculated the first good model of the outer layers of stars. And he calculated that hydrogen also accounts for most of the matter between stars.
By then, Stromgren was working at the Yerkes Observatory. He became director of Yerkes and McDonald observatories, which were both operated by the University of Chicago, in 1951. He kept the posts for six years. Stromgren returned home to Denmark in 1967, where he continued to make important contributions for the remaining two decades of his life.

I've always likened the White man's hatred of wolves to their hatred of Indians. Their policies regarding the wolf was very similar to their policies regarding Indians: extermination.
When wolves are returned to the wild, we are one step closer to nature as the Creator intended. It's ironic that wolves faced discinction, especially at the hands of politicians who claim their "family values" as important.

Domain (biology)
In biological taxonomy, a domain (also superregnum, superkingdom, empire, or regio) is the highest taxonomic rank of organisms in the three-domain system of taxonomy designed by Carl Woese, an American microbiologist and biophysicist. According to the Woese system, introduced in 1990, the Tree of Life consists of three domains: Archaea (a term which Woese created), Bacteria, and Eukarya.[1]
The arrangement of taxa reflects the fundamental differences in the genomes. The rank of domain is above kingdom, but the superkingdom Neomura is also considered as being above kingdom as well.
Alternative classifications[edit]
Alternative classifications of life so far proposed include:
- The two-empire system or superdomain system, with top-level groupings of Prokaryota (or Monera) and Eukaryota.[2][3]
- The three-domain system proposed by Woese (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya) with five supergroups in the Eukarya (Unikonta, Excavata, Chromalveolata, Rhizaria and Archaeplastida)[2][4][5]
None of the three systems currently include non-cellular life. As of 2011 there is talk about Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses possibly being a fourth branch domain of life, a view supported by researchers in 2012 who explain in their abstract, "The discovery of giant viruses with genome and physical size comparable to cellular organisms, remnants of protein translation machinery and virus-specific parasites (virophages) have raised intriguing questions about their origin. Evidence advocates for their inclusion into global phylogenomic studies and their consideration as a distinct and ancient form of life." They continue, "Results call for a change in the way viruses are perceived. They likely represent a distinct form of life that either predated or coexisted with the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) and constitute a very crucial part of our planet's biosphere."[6]

First casino license may not come until 2014 - 0 Comments
The state's first casino license may not be awarded until late-February 2014, according to a detailed schedule unveiled by the state gaming board today.
A consultant hired by the board to lay out a detailed schedule pegged Feb. 26, 2014 as the date of the state's first license award, after analyzing a host of factors, including crafting rules, extensive background checks and hiring.
Massachusetts Gaming Commission Chair Stephen Crosby called the schedule "prudent."

Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".

In Brief
Nice Work
- People who are nice are those who score high on the agreeableness personality trait. They are generous, considerate of others and pleasant. Such people benefit from good personal and work relationships. They are more likely to get a job--and to keep it.
- Being exceedingly agreeable does have drawbacks, however. Nice people tend to earn less than their more demanding colleagues and to get passed over for promotions
- Nice people should pay attention to their posture when they find themselves in leadership positions or in situations in which they need to exert authority over other people.

Quiz: How Nice Are You?
Quiz: How Happy Are You?
When I was growing up, my mother used to say, "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." Yet popular wisdom also tells us that "nice guys finish last" and that "nice girls don't get the corner office." Like most sayings, these last two contain a grain of truth, but they overstate the challenges and overlook the considerable benefits of being nice.
Psychologists define nice people as those scoring high on a personality trait called agreeableness. This trait often goes along with generosity, consideration for others, a pleasant disposition and a strong desire for social harmony. If you are nice, your overriding concern is to maintain positive relationships with others. You feel happiest when those around you are in harmony, and you go out of your way to smooth ruffled feathers. One way of measuring niceness is to ask people how much they agree with statements such as "I take time out for others" and "I sympathize with others' feelings."

American Graduate: Let's Make it Happen - Education Town Hall
With Keep The Promise for New Mexico's Future
Airdate: Thursday January 16, 2014 at 7:00pm on Ch.5.1
Please take a moment to take our viewer survey.
The Teacher Town Hall - 2012
On April 18, 2012 Teachers from a range of schools in the community came together to identify and discuss the major issues affecting the graduation rate in their schools, and had a constructive conversation about what can be done to improve the education opportunities for all students.
How can we address the dropout crisis here in New Mexico?
11 Responses to Dropout Conversation
What alot of people do not relize is that Truancy Leads To Drop Outs. We have to start at an early age in educating parents the importants of education, because many the drop outs are from those parents who dropped out of school themselves. I agree with the gentlemen from one of the Pueblo's that if there are things going on in a students life at and the situation is not a good situation as an eudcator you are not going to get that child to engage in academics.
I was the teachers that spoke to "a longer school day and school year" in order to provide more time to remediate and to make up for what has not happened at home, in lower socio-economic areas. I have not seen parenting change in 30+ years. Children are still coming to us in Kinder functioning at a 3 year old level … so it's a catch up game their entire life…. or they drop out due to frustration. At our school, our parent liaison/community room presents the "Mind in the Making" course to interested parents. This course shows parents how to develop children's cognitive abilities and potential when it is IMPERATIVE… that's from the womb to age 3. The problem is that, we only get small groups of parents showing up, and they seem to be the parents who are involved with their kids, to begin with. So if we can't change parenting in an entire community, we have to do it "all at school"… hence the longer day/year.
I also did not get a chance to mention another way to engage children who with low language skills, or have learning disabilities, and/or short attention spans, and that is through TECHNOLOGY! I teach ages 4 through 9 and the classes are integrated, meaning the autistic child sits next to the regular ed child. I almost can't tell them apart, as they are soooo engaged in the academic games (such as Every Day Math Online, Waterford, Success Maker or any given academic game website. Children who have access to computers USE them and learn, be it through games or research. Our world is very dependent on technology, and our children need to be savvy as well. Unfortunately I have seen cuts in technology staff because of cuts in education, and as we all know… we should be putting the money into more staff and smaller class sizes… but our priorities in our local, state, and national government have shown us that we are NOT priority. Thank you again, for your opportunity to voice our experiences.
With regard to Truancy…. Yes, we want parents to know the importance in education, but I have two typical, and sad stories that I have to share as an example. I had a first grader miss 40 days of school. I asked him why he was late or absent. He said mom slept too late. I asked him why she slept so late. He said, "She was drinking the night before". Another one of my students was spotted at the local casino. He waved to me, as he strolled with his parents and new baby sister in the stroller. This was at 7:30 pm. I figured they went to eat at the buffet. 3 hours later, I was leaving to go home and that family was still there. The children standing I the aisle with their dad, while mom gambled at a slot machine. These children are not being read to. They are not doing homework. They are not getting the same experiences their more affluent peers are. Yet, we are still comparing schools and grading them and talking merit pay????? LUDICRIS!!! Are we REALLY able to change this kind of parenting or do we just parent and "do it all" at school? The answer is obvious.-
Celine, thank you for sharing your insights. How cool that you are using technology to level the playing field for all your students. If you have not already, please have a look at New Mexico PBS Learning Media: http://nm.pbslearningmedia.org/ It's a free service where you will find loads of engaging online resources for your students.
Those truancy stories are truly sad ones. I am dismayed to hear that they are also typical. These seem to be things that teachers, schools, and especially children have no control over.
Thank you Laura, I just saw your reply, I had not revisited this page since I posted,… been busy. Thank for the link, I will check it out.
Celine is right, parents must take an active role in the success and future of their children in reading development. Ever since the 80′s I have known Celine and she has been right on the button with her involvement and true caring for education for her students.
I just saw this, Monty! Hello! How are you? Are you on Facebook? Here's my link https://www.facebook.com/celine777?ref=tn_tnmn

Synopsis:This was the third follow-up to Tim Burton's Batman (1989), the original revisionist look at the Gotham City legend, as well as the second in the Batman series directed by Joel Schumacher and the first featuring George Clooney as the Caped Crusader; it features not one but two super-villains, and a new heroine to fight crime alongside Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) and Dick Grayson (aka Robin) (Chris O'Donnell). The experiments of Dr. Victor Fries (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to preserve his late wife cryogenically have gone horribly wrong, turning him into the evil genius Mr. Freeze, who must keep his body at sub-zero temperature in order to say alive -- and he wants to put Gotham City on ice. Shy horticulturist Pamela Isley (Uma Thurman) goes a bit wild with a Venus Fly Trap-like creation she's been working on and mutates into Poison Ivy, who wants to kill all the people on Earth so plants can take over. Can Batman and Robin stop these fiends before their plans go too far? Meanwhile, Bruce and Dick's faithful butler Alfred (Michael Gough) isn't feeling well, so his niece Barbara (Alicia Silverstone) comes to pay a visit. When Barbara finds out what her uncle's employers do in their spare time, she decides she wants in on the action, and she joins the crime fighting twosome as Batgirl. Batman & Robin also features Jesse Ventura in a small role as a prison guard; it would be his last film role before becoming Governor of Minnesota in 1998.

I started my blog as a single girl out of college seeking after a more creative and domestic life. My readers have followed me through getting married and life as a newlywed and will continue to join me as I emerge through different life seasons as a woman and crafter.

BILLINGS - The second round of results from the MSU-Billings poll on national, state and local issues slightly favor the Denny Rehberg campaign.
According to the poll results, Rehberg is ahead of Tester 43% to 40% - essentially a dead heat with the 4.6% margin of error. The undecided are still upwards of nearly 12%.
Besides the U.S. Senate race, Thursday's report shows opinions on the attorney general race, job performance of Gov. Schweitzer and Sen. Baucus, and some views on ballot issues and the XL Keystone pipeline.
The Republican party is leading in the attorney general race. The poll reports Tim Fox has 39% of the votes, while Pam Bucy received 25%. More than a third of Montana voters remain undecided.
Governor Brian Schweitzer has the support of more than half the state, with 61% approving of his job performance.
U.S. Senator Max Baucus received a mixed response from Montana voters. According to the poll, 42.5% approve of the job he's doing, while 40% disapprove.
Nearly 75% of Montana voters support the building of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
When asked how their current economic situation compares to four years ago, 43% of Montana voters say they are worse off. Just over 20% report they are better off, while nearly 34% say their situation is about the same.
This is the 24th year the survey has been conducted and during that time, 26 surveys have been completed.
The poll reports summarize the results of a statewide random sample telephone survey of adult Montanans who said they were both registered and likely to vote. The poll was conducted in September.

Recipe by ShannLeigh
"Mom's original recipe with a little kick of wasabi mayonnaise to give this classic a more modern edge."
Watch video tips and tricks
12 eggs
1/4 cup wasabi mayonnaise
6 tablespoons creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
garlic salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch paprika, for garnish
This was a new twist on deviled eggs and everyone liked the added flavor! I would make them again!
Did not care for these. I did manage to tweak the creamy base, it makes a delicious flavored mayo. To do that I added to the wasabi - mayo instead of miracle whip, dijon instead of yellow mustard & omitted the relish. Topped our turkey burgers with that. YUM!
11 Ratings
I really enjoy wasabi in a lot of other dishes but not so much in this one. The second time I made this it turned out much better. I added dry ground mustard, a dab of white vinegar, a pinch of sugar and ditched the relish.
instead of the wasabi mayo & miracle whip, I made a garlic mayonnaise (found in AllRecipes!)... everyone LOVED the eggs!... Also,...we prefer to call them "ANGEL EGGS"... :)
I didn't have the wasabi so I just used regular mayo...with everthing else in this recipe. Love it! Will make it again using dill relish, also...like to experiment a little. (Love the picture of the dish these were served in...looks just like what grandma would have used, :-))
I used regular mayo instead of wasabi, I didn't use relish since I don't like pickles :-) It was SO YUMMY!!!
Didn't have wasabi mayo so I used horseradish (Less than a tablespoon). It was yummy!
I loved these. The Wasabi gave it just the perfect kick.

Senior Officers Compensation Disclosures - Proposed Rule
March 12, 2012
Mr. Gary K. Van Meter
Office of Regulatory Policy
Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
ĀSubject: Proposed Rule –Compensation, Retirement Programs, and Related Benefits– 77 FR 3172
ĀDear Mr. Van Meter:
I am an elected Director of AgStar Financial Services, ACA ("AgStar") and chair of the HR committee.Ā I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Farm Credit Administration's proposed rule on compensation, retirement programs, and related disclosures to shareholders.Ā I know this issue is of significant concern to all institutions of the Farm Credit System, and that a workgroup of System representatives is developing System-wide comment through the Farm Credit Council.Ā I support the comments being made by the Farm Credit Council, but I also wanted to add some of my own perspective as an elected Director.Ā
The HR Committee at Agstar has been hiring an outside consulting firm (McLagan) for its assistance in developing total compensation programs that are market competitive.Ā They contain a mix of base salary, short-term incentive, along with a long-term incentive.Ā In keeping with best practices, we have instituted "cliff " vesting on the long-term side.Ā In order to understand the current best practices and nuances of various options, AgStar's HR committee spends many hours reviewing work done by our management team and by McLagan.Ā Expecting a stockholder who does not have the benefit of all of this information or the time to devote to these issues to cast an informed vote on an issue as complex as compensation programs seems unrealistic.Ā In my service on cooperative Boards throughout the years, the great majority of stockholders do not comment on anything when everything is running smoothly.Ā The very few who do, often seem to be reacting emotionally to a particular situation and haveĀ not taken the time to fully understand the issues.
I also believe an advisory vote undermines the role I hold as a Director. When the stockholders elected me, they entrusted me to be accountable to them and if I violate that trust, they will vote me out at the next election for my position on the Board.
The cost of preparing the ballots, along with the time of our staff, for an advisory vote would create another unnecessary burden to our operating rate.
ĀOnce again, I appreciate this opportunity to comment on the Proposed Rule and trust that these comments and those of other System institutions will assist the FCA.Ā If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Steven A. Johnson
Board Member
Agstar Financial Services, ACA
