First reported today by Liz Matthews of 710ESPN Seahawks have signed CB Donny Lisowski, T Andrew Mitchell, T Alex Barron and TE Cooper Helfet.
Alex Barron you ask? Yes that Alex Barron. The former first round draft choice (19th pick 2005 draft) of the St. Louis Rams.
A former No. 19 overall pick in 2005 from Florida State, Barron started 74 of 76 games with St. Louis.
He spent the 2010 season with the Dallas Cowboys following a trade with one start in 11 games and was with the Saints last season before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury and then later released.
Per the Seahawks press release.
The 6-foot-7, 320-pound Barron participated in the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend on a tryout basis. He started 74 games in five seasons with the Rams after being the 19th pick overall in the 2005 NFL Draft. After being traded to Dallas in 2010, he made one start for the Cowboys. Barron signed with the Saints last year, but sat out the season after being placed on injured reserve in August with a knee problem and then released in October.
"This is real good, especially when you consider that I had to sit out all of last year on injured reserve," Barron said today after participating in the team's offseason program workout. "But I'm over that now and moving forward. I'm here to help the team the best way I can."
The club also reached agreements with two other tryout players from the weekend minicamp – cornerback Donny Lisowski, who went to Seattle's O'Dea High School and then Montana; and Cooper Helfet, a 6-3, 239-pound tight end from Duke. Also added was Andrew Mitchell, a 6-5, 308-pound tackle who signed with the Bengals after the 2010 draft. He suffered a knee injury in a preseason game that August and spent the season on IR. Mitchell also missed last season.
To clear spots on the 90-man roster, linebacker Adrian Moten, offensive lineman Brent Osborne, cornerback London Durham and tackle Jon Opperud were released. Moten played in two games last season after being signed off the practice squad, while Osborne spent the season on the practice squad. Durham and Opperud were signed as free agents last month after the draft.
Coach Pete Carroll was impressed with the 5-11, 185-pound Lisowski during the weekend minicamp.
"He was all over the place out here," Carroll said on Sunday. "I had no (idea about him), other than he ran extremely fast when he showed up for a workout day. And then he went out there and made a bunch of plays. So I was really fired up about him."

The first fundraiser for Ucan Utah featuring a yard sale and 5k was held Saturday in Ream's parking lot in Sandy.
The people behind it delivered their message of hope to those facing unexpected illnesses and other life struggles.
"There are so many families out there that are experiencing trials and difficult situations," said Rich Dibble. Dibble knows the hardships families can sometimes face. He and his wife spent many nights in the NICU when their children were born. "Our kids are healthy and they're strong now, we met a lot of families that weren't as fortunate."
For families with mounting medical bills, Ucan Utah aims to connect those who want to help with those who need it.
"There are a lot of people like that that aren't willing to ask for help and a lot of people in the community want to know how they can help and the Ucan Utah Foundation is the avenue to bring those two people together," said Dibble.
That avenue connecting people is paved by social media.
"With the power of social media and social networking we really try to get involved with friends and family, anything we can do to get the word out there," said Dibble.
One of Dibble's own family members kick-started the project. His dad Dave Dibble, currently battling cancer, is the inspiration behind the group's first 5k.
"He's been a mailman in this area for over 40 years and the 5k today was actually in the area where he delivered mail," said his son, Rich.
Those who live on Dave's route are cheering on Ucan Utah's mission of delivering hope.
"I've had cancer my own self and so I know how important it is to support one another," said Terry Perry, who attended the fundraiser.

Site Design By Lawrence & Schiller. Select Photo Credits to Jeremiah M. Murphy (Flickr: el_gallo).
With a summit at 7,064 feet, Terry Peak in South Dakota is the third highest point east of the Rocky Mountains in the continental United States. Reaching this elevation means the mountain can get up to three times as much snow as anywhere else in the region. Terry Peak also has high-tech snowmaking equipment that can blanket 60% of the mountain with man-made powder—ensuring the conditions are great all season long. In 1936, the Bald Mountain Ski Club was the first to use the mountain as a recreational ski hill. Back then, a rope tow took adventure seekers to the top. Today, there are three high-speed chairlifts that get skiers to the top in just a matter of minutes.

Oct. 2, 2012 — What an appropriate theme for this year's celebration of National Newspaper Week, Oct. 7-13: Newspapers: The cornerstone of your community.
There are more than 7,000 weekly newspapers across the country — including the Lassen County newspaper you are reading right now — that are devoted to protecting and defending your right to know by thoroughly covering the issues and lifestyles of the people living in those communities. And with the ever-increasing number of ways we can obtain information, the role of community newspapers becomes even more important.
But don't just take our word for it. Read what congressman Mike Rogers from Michigan said on this very issue in a recent column appearing in the Michigan press:
We can get our national news on cable television, catch the weather on local broadcast stations, listen to talk radio on the AM or FM dial and follow our favorite blogs on the Internet, but where do we turn for local information that directly impacts our daily lives? More often than not, it is community newspapers.
Technology has transformed how we gather information in the 21st Century. News cycles run 24/7, tablets and laptops are becoming smaller and smart phones keep getting smarter.
As a result most traditional large newspapers are struggling to stay alive — they are more and more frequently printing only two to three times a week, personnel and content are shrinking like never before, and more information is shifted to online editions.
Yet local community newspapers are thriving because they have persistently weathered the storm year in and year out to remain a fixture in our everyday lives. As our societies become more complex and diverse with growing numbers of ways to obtain information, the role of local newspapers in informing our communities becomes even more significant.
We count on them to regularly check in with the courts and police stations. They print announcements on births, deaths, engagements, marriages, anniversaries, church news, job openings, school information and service club endeavors.
They publish notices of local municipal meetings. They print tax increases, notices of changes in laws and property rezoning — all issues that most directly affect our pocketbooks by determining how our hard-earned tax dollars are spent at the local level and how are local officials are representing us.
They help run the local economic engine and provide a marketplace for the community. They offer local small businesses with an effective and affordable means of connecting with local consumers. They print sales at the supermarket, coupons for discounts at local stores, real estate listings and classifieds for everything from a used car to a neighbor's garage sale.
It is also personal. Communities feel a sense of ownership in their local newspaper, and the people who report the news are often our friends and neighbors down the street.
News aggregating websites such as Drudge Report and the major news blogs are great at offering up major national and international news and analyses, but they simply do not provide the information on issues that impact us at the local level. It is especially true for the elderly and those with low incomes who often have less access to computers and transportation.
They normally only publish once a week, but community newspapers remain the one constant source of local information. In good times and in bad, they stay focused on us as a community.
Now more than ever, community newspapers are an important binding thread of our cities and towns.

In the end the price talks. You can prob buy tripple the amount of cores vs. the price of Xeons with less cores. Which would you buy AMD has winner here.
good example i believe would be this for its time http://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html
Yes of course there is the matter of clockspeed and different workloads, so I will have to give credit to Intel for pulling ahead in various tasks. Situational winner, not outright winner. You have not factored in other costs, like boards, support, software, etc. Cores are almost dirt cheap in the grand scheme.
I am an IT analyst for a company, and it comes down to how you use your cores. Our choice was Intel because of the power of the cores. If you were an IT Analyst, you would know that the majority of purchasing is moving towards number of cores. Using Intel can save us thousands of dollars because we achieve the same performance with less cores. If you were one of the people factoring in the cost of the CPU, you are not an IT professional (or atleast not for a very large company.) Xeon processor? $500. SQL Licensing? $20,000 for the Xeon cores. We put the cost of the processors in the same category as screws, mounts, and other small-cost objects.
We arent looking for enthusiast xeons when we are a business. That is a good idea of how a business fails. Even so, $2,000 is small. Now that I think about it, we did upgrade the e5s, so $900 is probably more accurate. We spent over $100,000 on software since the beginning of the summer. We are not a large company, probably comprised of less than 400 individuals altogether.
Pffttt.... tell ya what. I'll make it work with Standard instead of Enterprise. Or even better, I'll make it work with SQL Express. Put most of that money into my hardware and skim a little off the top for yourself. That way I'll have more than enough resources to run a cloud service on the side in addition to the company project.
Things have changed. The Trinity APU based on Piledriver (4 core) is as fast as the 2 core i3 and significantly faster in multi threaded apps. www.bit-tech.net/ www.TomsHardware.com
They don't. There is a reason a lot of companies are moving towards AMD based chips for servers for one they can take the old Phenom II based G34 chips toss them in the bin update the BIOS on there high end 4P server board and drop in 4 16 core chips that quadruples the number of threads. On top of that using the proper version of Linux with AMD compilers they obliterate Intel server chips in multithreaded apps. Why do you think so many people are running them in WCG? You can get eBay Intel chips quite cheap as well...
We use standard, but we have multiple applications. Our software vendors do not support anything but MSSQL standard. These aren't little toys we are playing with in our spare time, this is tens of millions of dollars a year. I could make it work with SQL express, but it would be my ass and several hundred jobs were it to fail.
Fine, I'll find some other analyst to join in on my illegitimate endeavors On a serious note, oh I'm aware. Back when I did eComm IT grossed $15M/yr for the company. Struck a good balance between DIY and 3rd party so there was always enough leftover in the budget for toys.
the OP shows 16MB L3 cache, is it really L3 or all put together? hmm AM3+ also gets 16MB L3 cache (hopefully).
Its funny because I had actually brought that up while we were talking (there are 3 of us in the department altogether). After a good laugh, we realized there was no reason we couldnt do this. The biggest issue was that if it wasnt officially supported by our software vendor, then we wouldnt get any support if things went to hell with their software.
In server applications, like a website that has a couple hundred users on at once, will show you where multi-processor setups come in handy. Then you can do cool things like move your database to another server and keep the application on your old server. So now you spread your resources over 2 servers. There are tools that let you take this much further. For example, if you have ever used PostgreSQL, there is a database layer called pgpool2 (I think that is the name,) and it lets you do multi-master database replication as well as load balancing. So you get performance, redundancy, and scalability across multiple servers for your database. Granted these aren't consumer tools. These are things that developers build, use, and share because we're the only people who need to use it. Not to mention that any server with more than 1 processor is most likely going to be given a variety of tasks by a potentially large pool of users, unless you're like BN who folds all day long.

In your print column for November 10th, you criticize what you term "the comforting myth that there is no such thing as climate change or, if there is, that humans are not involved"
But, of course, the climate is always changing, and no ones disagrees. What you probably meant to say is that you believe humans have caused global warming.
But which global warming are you thinking about? The one that occurred in the Middle Ages, the one that began in the mid-1800's, the one that ran from 1910 to 1940, or the one that ran from 1975 to the late 1990's? And, of those, which ones could possibly have been caused by whatever human activity you have in mind?
I would guess that you believe in the forecasts generated by some of the general circulation climate models. But wouldn't you agree that for those models to have any validity they should have made at least some predictions which turned out to be correct? If so, can you point to any such prediction ever made by a climate model, by the IPCC or by James Hansen? If not, then why would you persist in a blind religious faith in something for which you have no evidence?
P.S. When you see pictures of submarines surfacing at the North Pole during the 1950's, what do you think? Does that jibe with your belief that the Arctic Ocean never experienced any ice melts until the recent period of higher CO2 levels? (CO2 levels were around 310 ppm in the mid-1950's vs 390 ppm today.)

Kayla Grieser, Trine education major
Becoming a good teacher requires classroom experience, and Trine education major Kayla Grieser values the hands-on, one-on-one education she receives in the Franks School of Education.
"The education department really pushes you to do your best. They go over things that you will experience when you begin teaching in the real world," Kayla said. "The professors actually care how well you do in their classes, and are willing to help you, whether it is class-related or not."
The small class sizes help her excel as an individual. "The teachers know you, and you're not just a number. At Trine, it is very easy to meet new people who later on become great friends," she said.
She numbers excellent professors among those friends. "Dr. Tierney may be strict about your papers, but he can really help you out. I needed a last-minute recommendation for my application for the Franks school of Education, and he willingly took my recommendation and filled it out for me. He was very understanding, and since I had been in his class, he knew I was not someone who deliberately does things at the last minute," she said.
As a residence assistant and member of the women′s lacrosse team, she is fully engaged in Trine′s active campus experience. "Campus life is the fun part of college. All the activities the Office of Student Life organizes really break up those long nights of study. You also learn a lot from your experiences living on campus," she said.

2012 goes 70's
Photo credit: Freepeople.com
It's still winter here in New York City but spring fashion has already hit the stores. The wide leg pants at Free People had me day dreaming of a 1970's inspired look for spring. Layering tank tops with button-ups adds versatility to the look as the weather gets even warmer. Add jewelry with mixed metals, leather, or stones. Dress it up with platform heels or keep it casual with lace-up boots.
View my Boho Hipster Collection HERE
You can continue to channel the 70's with awesome Aztec nails. Free People had a tutorial to show you how. (I had a lot of fun stalking their site!) I put together a collection of all the nail polish and tools you'll need to create this look at home.

The Cincinnati Reds traded Pensacola Blue Wahoos pitcher J.C. Sulbaran and former Wahoos pitcher Donnie Joseph to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday for reliever Jonathan Broxton.
"We get two pitchers that we like a great deal," Royals general manager Dayton Moore told reporters. "They're at the upper levels. We targeted as close to Major League-ready pitching as we possibly could. It was the deal that made the most sense and put us in the best position to move forward."
Joseph and Sulbaran initially will play in Kansas City's minor league system for now, though. Moore said Joseph, 24, will report to the Omaha Storm Chasers of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League and Sulbaran, 22 – a teammate of Royals' first baseman Eric Hosmer at American Heritage High School in Plantation, Fla., heads to the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Texas League.
Joseph, who pitches left-handed, is 8-3 in 44 games between Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville this season. He became a fan-favorite with the first-year Wahoos, earning 13 saves with a 0.89 earned-run average in 26 games with Pensacola. In 18 games for the Louisville Bats, the Buda, Texas, native has saved five games and posted a 2.86 ERA. Joseph was a third-round pick of the Reds in 2009 and was the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2010.
Sulbaran is 7-7 in 19 starts with Double-A Pensacola this season. He's posted a 4.04 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 104 2/3 innings. Born in Curacao, Sulbaran was a member of the Dutch National team at the 2008 Olympics and the 2009 World Baseball Classic. Sulbaran was the Reds' 30th-round pick in the 2008 first-year player draft. He's 25-24 with a 4.68 ERA in the minors, but has 449 strikeouts in 413 2/3 professional innings.
Joseph is 16-14 with a 3.50 and 54 saves in four minor league seasons.
Broxton, who became the Royals' closer when Joakim Soria was lost for the season because of an arm injury, will join Major League Baseball's best bullpen in Cincinnati. Reds relievers have the top earned-run average, 2.66, and the most wins, 20, in the majors. Broxton, who earned 23 saves in 27 opportunities with Kansas City, is expected to be the setup man for Reds' star closer Aroldis Chapman (21 saves in 25 chances).
"Here's a guy that can set up," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "On days Chapman goes two or three days in a row, (Broxton) can close. It gives us some more strength and a power arm in the bullpen."

Great updated version!

Comments about Arco Toys Ltd UNO Mod:
This is a great update for people who have played Uno before. The addition of the Mod card makes the game a little more interesting. The case is nice and sturdy but the way the card faces were changed could make this difficult to learn for someone who has never played this before. They took the words "Draw Four" and "Skip" off the cards and now they just have symbols. Took 2 games to get used to for seasoned players.

About Me Casual Player
My boys and I have always loved Uno. Got this version for a camping trip and we LOVE the upgrade.... just one... a simple new card called the "Mod" card. Makes it SO much more fun to play when you wind up with too many cards in your hand. Plus the case is small and easy to pack, even for camping. :-)

Sunday Times (London)
April 21, 2013
by Irwin Stelzer
They came, they met, they conferred, they dashed from television studio to television studio. Whether all of this to-do at the meetings in Washington of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank signified anything very much in the world outside of policymakers' conference rooms is unclear. The IMF did get attention when it lowered its forecast of world growth this year from 3.5% to 3.3%, a testimonial to the faith of the fund's economists in the precision of their forecasts.
These forecasters now think that the US, UK and China will grow more slowly than they anticipated only a few months ago; that the eurozone will have a more pronounced slowdown; and that Japan will awaken from a decades-long slumber as the new head of its central bank cranks up the printing presses to speeds that make the Federal Reserve Board's Ben Bernanke look like a hard-money advocate.
More revisions will follow when the IMF rethinks its most recent rethink, a process familiar to other forecasters.
More important are the policy debates that bubbled up at the meetings and seminars held around Washington. Christine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, applauded Japan for adopting a policy of quantitative easing twice the size of America's, relative to the size of its economy — "a welcome step" in support of world growth, she said.
That put the IMF on the side not only of Shinzo Abe, Japan's prime minister, and the head of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, but of Barack Obama, who sent his new treasury secretary, Jack Lew, to Europe to preach the need for expansionary monetary and fiscal policies to stimulate growth. Lew won no converts from faith in austerity.
Lagarde's attack on proponents of austerity — which the IMF insists be practised in southern Europe — lines her up against German chancellor Angela Merkel and George Osborne, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, who believe that austerity is the route to sustainable economic growth in their countries. The disagreement between Lagarde and Merkel is not the first, and will not be the last dispute between French and German politicians over what is best for Europe.
The differences between proponents of austerity and of expansionary monetary policy are about the here and now, not the long run. Even those who favour loose monetary and fiscal policy hold these out as temporary measures: once the economies are growing again, budgets should be brought into balance, or nearly so, and central banks should sell off the assets they have taken onto their balance sheets, thereby reducing the money supply. It is the ability of politicians to give up the pleasure of spending money they do not have, and of central bankers to put quantitative easing into reverse — QE is a big vessel, not easily turned around — that austerity fans doubt.
Fortunately, this debate is not of great consequence outside the hallowed halls of the IMF. Osborne is not going to reverse course because Lagarde thinks he should, and Merkel is not going to unbalance the German budget and liberate Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank, to join his Japanese, American and other central-bank counterparts as they toil over their printing presses simply because Lagarde thinks Draghi should. Countries that need IMF help in procuring bailouts might treat the IMF's views with deference, but other nations will not.
This might not be a bad thing. Every nation has different political, cultural and economic needs: as with the euro, one size does not fit all.
? Japan, the victim of decades of stagnation as consumers and businesses postponed spending because deflation would make things cheaper tomorrow, and all the tomorrows after that, needs to break deflationary expectations by flooding the country with cash to create expectations of inflation. Buy now or pay more later might persuade consumers to spend some of the $8.8 trillion they have put away in anticipation of lower prices.
? Germany has an entirely different problem. Its history makes its voters dubious of the advantages of a Japanese-style inflationary policy. Besides, Merkel presides over a eurozone desperately in need of reforming its labour markets, its education systems, and its banking sector, among other things. An infusion of easy cash would enable reluctant politicians to postpone these reforms by burying their structural problems under a pile of paper money.
? In Britain, Osborne has still a different problem — moving the boundary line between the state and private sectors to bring the welfare state down to a size the country can afford. Austerity is a welcome by-product of that effort.
To the irrelevance of general policy preachments to the circumstances of individual countries, add the uncertain empirical underpinnings of such preachments. Like many others, including top American policymakers, I have relied on a study by Harvard University's Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart for the proposition that when public debt exceeds 90% of GDP, growth turns negative. But researchers at the University of Massachusetts now find that such a debt burden is associated with positive growth of 2.2%. Rogoff and Reinhart, they say, committed "coding errors", selectively excluded "available data", and made other "serious errors that inaccurately represent the relationship between public debt and GDP growth".
So when next the IMF or any organisation offers an over-arching, empirically based policy solution to the world's ills, do reach for a pinch of salt.

A big dreamer in a small small world
A little contribution of Digital Photographer Jan issue 2012 on Pro Tips
Tagged: photography macro Magazine tips Lee Peiling Small small world insect
Posted on December 11, 2012
Source: facebook.com
A section of my work appeared in Practical Photoshop Magazine Gallery, July issue 2012.
Small print blow my profile image.
Funland by Peiling Lee.
This image was taken with everything pre-planned. I set up the "stage" for the ant, carefully put the ant in place, pre-focused and snapped the photo while spraying water with my free hand. I used Photoshop Elements 9 to process the Raw image twice - one with a cooler tone for the insect's body, another for the vibrant, warmer background. I used Noise Ninja for the finishing touches.

Marketing Your Real Estate Web Site May 23, 2013 at 12:30 pm
If you have a real estate company, or are a real estate agent or broker, communication is the most important thing in your business. If you haven't gotten a web site up yet, you need to know that a web site is one of the most important things you can do to further your business. A smart action is to get a web designer with world class web design testimonials to do your site and go from there, right? That is only part of the truth.
If you get a web site, it's not enough for you to have one. You need to set about marketing your site so that people know about it and go to see it. You may have your information outside every property you're selling, but that is not always enough. (more…)

Welcome Week
What is Welcome Week?
Our Welcome Week is one of the largest Freshers' Weeks in the UK. It takes place one week before the start of term and you will enjoy trips, tours, gigs, barbecues, parties and sports designed to help you to:
- meet new people
- find your way around the University
- settle into your new life.
What about postgraduates and international students?
You're welcome too! You may not be interested in partying all night (although you can if you want), but there are plenty of other events to interest you, and even some just for you.
In previous years our postgraduate and international students have enjoyed trips to the theatre, gigs, barbecues, tours of the countryside and meeting up with other students for a coffee at the Welcome Week meeting points. You will find something of interest whatever you are into.
Our international students can enjoy a range of including an airport pick-up service and advice sessions to make sure all that important paperwork is sorted out.
So, how do I get involved?
Just turn up! The week traditionally begins at the weekend, when you can start to move into halls. After that there is a week of events organised by our own Welcome Week team and Students' Union. You'll usually have some of your course induction events in this week as well (unless your course starts a bit earlier). A guide will be posted to you in September and lots of information will be available online so you can plan your week.

Posted: Dec 26, 2012 11:34 AM by Dave Hovde
Our rain season here on the Central Coast runs from the 1st of July to June 30th since the bulk of rain we get comes in the winter months.
The following are rain totals since July 1st followed by the normal amounts in the 30 year average and the difference:
Santa Maria 3.03" (3.75" -.70")
Paso Robles 2.88" (3.51" -.63")
Santa Barbara 5.48" (4.94 +.54")
San Luis Obispo 5.74" (6.7" -1.04")
* Those are totals for the airports kept by NOAA. Each town has a number of different gauges and they all read differently. In San Luis Obispo the Cal Poly numbers are different, however other than that these are the numbers ultimately reported to the National Climatic Data Center for archival purposes. These numbers are only meant to be somewhat representative of overall conditions. The message is essentially that recent rains cut significantly into existing deficits but didn't entirely erase them. Only Santa Barbara is running a surplus this season, though it is not a large one. Last year most of the Central Coast only got about 60% of normal precipitation for some perspective.

Lens filters are translucent pieces of glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera and more importantly to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve photographs by giving photographers control over light and allowing them to emphasize the features of a scene that they consider most important.
This filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without.
Film and a digital CCD are more sensitive to UV light than our eyes are. This often shows up in images shot from high altitudes and long distances especially over water. This filter will remove the UV light and more importantly protect your lens from moisture, scratches, and damage.
provides color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as a whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A polarizing filter will correct this problem creating deep blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces such as windows and water.
provides color correction when shooting under fluorescent lighting. It will remove the greenish tint from the image, providing pleasing skin tones and true to life color renditions.
Storage Case
compact protective carrying case for transporting and storing your set of filters when not in use.

Open some of these things up on the screen and take us through these the differences between needs vs -- making a list and prioritizing and setting a goal now.

Well I can explain to you even as an adult because we all need to know the difference between needs and wants -- need is.
Clothing for a very young child a one is candy move that up to the high school years I need is to wish Chen.
I want is probably that first car so kids need to understand that there's some things that they need.
To live by and there are some things they just want to add some extra -- Furl.
And then make sure every time -- go to the -- a child has something very simple piece of Paper and a pencil and as they point to everything that they want.
Say okay let's put it on the list it gives them the opportunity to feel like they've been heard.
Write it down and then they reflect in -- children learn how to reflect.
Then they will learn eventually had to delay gratification.
You also say.
Use hands on tools levered -- real world experience whenever possible.
85% of kids when they're interviewed between ages eight to twelve say talk to me in technology so let's not fight it.
So let's use an iPad you have an -- actually -- and it's called -- spree and I'd I'd downloaded this year on my iPad.

With the money you wanna save it spend it donated or invest it once you've got to stand down.
Once you got that very visual cue down and they do it over and over and over again then move into allowance -- allowance is the gateway.

43 CFR 29.9 - Claims, settlement and adjudication.
§ 29.9
Claims, settlement and adjudication.
Claims in accordance with this section may be submitted by any damaged party, his or her duly authorized agent, or his or her successor in interest.
A detailed listing of damages incurred, categorized according to the type of damage involved ( § 29.1(e) ), and including a monetary claim for each type of damage listed.
The contact person must provide copies of all claims filed with the vessel Owner or Operator to the Fund Administrator upon request of the Administrator. Once such claims are paid, the contact person shall notify the Fund and upon request of the Administrator supply any adjuster's reports.
Prior to reaching $14 million in claims filed, the contact person shall notify the Fund whether the vessel Owner or Operator will assume responsibility to pay damages over the $14 million level.
In the event the vessel Owner or Operator refuses to pay claims over the $14 million level, the Fund shall determine if the $14 million in claims already filed meet the definition of damage as established by this section. The Fund shall pay the claims, or portion of claims, over $14 million, which have been determined to meet that definition.
The Fund shall establish uniform procedures and standards for the appraisal and settlement of claims against the Fund, including but not limited to procedures for appraising claims made to the vessel Owner or Operator to determine when $14 million of claims meeting the definition of damages has been reached; procedures to determine whether claims over the $14 million level which it receives meet the definition of damages; and procedures for determining when the services of a private insurance and claims adjuster shall be used.
In the event the vessel Owner or Operator refuses payment of any claims up to $14 million, the injured parties have recourse to the district court for the Federal district in which the spill occurred or the appropriate State court for the State in which the spill occurred. The Fund only becomes liable after $14 million in claims meeting the definition of damages have been paid or have been acknowledged as payable by the vessel Owner or Operator.
No claim may be presented, nor any action be commenced, for damages recoverable under this part unless that claim is presented to or that action is commenced against the vessel Owner or Operator, or their guarantor, or against the Fund, as to their respective liabilities, within two years from the date of discovery of the damages caused by an incident, or of the date of the incident causing the damages, whichever is earlier.
The Board of Trustees, by a majority vote, shall decide to allow or deny claims or settlements presented to the Fund in accordance with this section. In its discretion the Board may delegate the authority to settle classes of claims to the Administrator.
Where a claim is presented to the Fund by or on behalf of any person having a close business, personal or governmental association with any member of the Board of Trustees, such as to create a conflict of interest or the appearance of such conflict of interest on the part of such member of the Board of Trustees, the member involved shall excuse himself or herself from any consideration of such claim.
Where a claim presented to the Fund has previously been presented to the Owner or Operator and such Owner or Operator has a close business, personal or governmental association with any member of the Board of Trustees, such as to create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest on the part of such member of the Board of Trustees, the member involved shall excuse himself or herself from any consideration of such claim.

FLOWERY BRANCH - The start of a state playoff soccer game is, more times than not, laced with uncertainty. In-game adjustments combined with the realization that, regardless of the stakes, it is still just a game can breed confidence.

FLOWERY BRANCH - The Flowery Branch girls soccer team seemed to have its priorities in order Friday in the first round of the Class AAA state playoffs against No. 6-ranked Riverwood.

Several weeks ago, I got to go take some pictures at an old farmhouse north of town. A family bought this old, old farmhouse and is rehabbing the entire thing, and my mother is doing some custom stained glass work for them.
They went out to install the first piece, and I went along with camera in tow. Abby, of course, came along as well.
The family has a dog, so of course my attention turned to her. I can't remember her name, so I call her FarmDog. Here are just a few of the shots from that day. More to come…
Mid-yawn shots: gotta love'em.
I know this one is totally blown out, but I love it anyway.
The garage (note the open land beyond…a rarity these days).
Who's in that truck, FarmDog?

Apparently the Tiger is in the queue, but the rep couldn't tell me in detail whether it was failing any tests at all let alone which ones it might be failing as "AMD works with the vendor" to move the systems into compliance with spec but AMD obviously doesn't want to shoot any of its primary mobo vendors in the foot during the testing period. FWIW, after discovering the problem with at least one 32/33 card in a 64/66 slot on the MSI board we experimented with moving cards around on our Tiger 2460's, and learned that even there it makes a difference which cards are in which slots even with these. This was very interesting because there has been a huge range of experience reported on this list with 2460's -- some people swear that they are completely trouble free and work perfectly and stably and others report that they run and crash, run and crash. Poor (non-registered-ECC) memory and the use of XPs instead of MPs have been proposed as possible causes, but there are still those that do fine with XPs and others who do fine with at least one or two sticks of OTS memory. Perhaps some or all of the stability problems were caused by having cards in "the wrong slots" (not that there should BE any wrong slots, but maybe there are anyway and if so this should be empirically accepted and dealt with...). This is hardly unknown in the history of OTC PCs and PCI implementations -- my old Supermicro dual PPros would simply not work with my Tulip NICs in certain PCI slots. Sure, it was impossible according to PCI spec, but the systems would not install or would install and then crash in use for "no reason" if they were in certain slots and work perfectly (for years) if they were in other slots. Naturally, I used the slots that worked. rgb -- Robert G.
