Porridge for me! I make mine with milk in the microwave. 2 mins on 950W followed by 4 mins at 160W and then leave for quite a while. Sometimes I eat it almost cool, but it seems the better for it. My milk is also whole fat milk from the local farmer, I think that makes it even more delicious. I often make it before going out to our land that is about 5km away and then grab a bunch of berries straight off the bush, yesterdays was blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day, and I've been wanting to try this ever since I saw Nancy's post! I'm definitely going to give it a go now--yours looks delicious! x

I eat breakfast sometimes, not every day, just when I feel like it. (The mister never ever misses it). I do enjoy granola, though, and have been known to make my own but that recipe does look easy and very delish.

Ah, I saw that granola recipe and now we have a second opionion -- must be a keeper. It looks divine! I go in spurts -- eating the same thing for breakfast everyday for about a month and then I move on to the next thing. Now it's greek yogurt, mango, walnuts and honey. I'm thinking about moving on to some of those refrigerator oatmeal recipes that I've been seeing online. Have you tried them?

I always have breakfast and when it's really cold I have porridge, but otherwise it's a small amount of purchased granola with oat flakes and milk, and a piece of fruit. I used to make my own granola but it was not as simple as your version which sounds delicious. I shall have to try it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Yes I do, I wouldn't miss my breakfast!! We still have been having the occasional bowl of porridge throughout the summer.
That is a lovely wee recipe and as you say simple.

When I read Nancy's post I said to myself I must make granola and then I promptly forgot. Thanks for reminding me, I am going to make some this evening. I bet the kids will eat in a flash. I love breakfast and enjoy it once the children are at school. When working (hopefully again soon!) I take it with me if I can. x

That looks really good. I can't do without breakfast, if I'm in a hurry it's toast and marmite. When I have more time I make porridge and add apple, cinnamon and raisons x

I definitely eat breakfast and usually make up my own. There's always oats in it plus whatever else is at hand. x

Sounds simpler than the granola I made, I'll have to give it a try. I am an occasional breakfast eater, although I fear it just wakes my stomach up!

- Moogsmum said...
I'm definitely a breakfast eater too! This week I seem to be on fruit, yogurt and muesli. My other favourite is poached egg on toast.
It's gone very nippy here tonight so I'm thinking thoughts of porridge for breakfast :)

I do love breakfast, I think it's my favourite meal. When I was working it was often a bit rushed, but I always had to have something, if only toast and coffee. Now most days it's more leisurely, it's usually fruit (at the moment kiwifruit, as the NZ ones I like are in season), fruit juice, muesli, brioche (just rediscovered them!) with marmalade, and coffee. And in the summer, when it's warm enough and if I have time, what I like more than anything is having breakfast in the garden.

Looks and sounds yum! Will def try the recipe. 6.15! I haven't been up that early since I started work at 8 in Chile....there are times when I 'm only going to bed at 3!! Not very healthy, I know....

I'm like you, I need breakfast. I have oats - porridge in winter and oats soaked in cold milk in summer. Both with fruit and a spoonful of plain live yogurt.
On holiday I choose granola as it's usually the closest thing to oats but it seems a bit too sweet. I've never made granola, maybe homemade would be less sweet - I'll have to experiment xx

It looks delicious!! I am a terrible breakfast person and usually never eat breakfast at home, but I enjoy it if I am out or on holiday! xx

Wow! You left the house at 6.15????
Toasted hot x bun and a toasted small scotch pancake with sliced banana on or if I'm in a hurry a banana!

- Diana Studer said...
yes, breakfasst cereal! But I make my own muesli. I started with grnaola, but too messy, too much work. I roast the oats and spices, then add coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, nuts and chopped dried fruit.
With yoghurt and your fresh soft fruit - it compensates for having to start the day by getting up in the morning.

Bizarre, Bloglovin just turned up this post - which I hadn't read. Yes, I do eat breakfast and love my breakfasts. I have been eating oats soaked overnight in water with a squeeze of lemon, then a dollop of yogurt on top, but I've managed to wean child off factory floor sweepings aka boxed cereals so now we all have porridge, also soaked overnight. Child has teaspoon of Nutella, himself has honey and prunes, I leave out the honey and we all have banana! And a splash of milk.

Jaclyn Lucas '14
My name is Jaclyn Lucas and I am a current senior at Denison University. I am an Environmental Studies major with a concentration in Psychology.
Since the first semester of college, I have been interested in pursuing environmental studies classes and learning more about the department. Starting early, I was lucky enough to take classes from many departments that connected with environmental studies. It wasn't until my junior year however, that I truly realized how involved I wanted to be with the department. I had just taken two of my favorite classes to date—environmental politics and environmental psychology—and I knew I wanted to keep learning more.
I spent the spring semester of my junior year participating in a coastal ecology and natural resource management program in Zanzibar, Tanzania. I gained immense field experience, learned about tropical ecosystems and marine life, and saw first-hand the strong connection between local communities and their resources. Every day was interactive and I was able to learn so much about the culture and the lifestyle of the locals, which varied so much between communities. In my final month on the islands, I was able to do an independent research project and camp on a very small island called Misali. It was about one kilometer circumference with no fresh water and no residents. One other student and I spent our time with the local fishermen who camped there as well, and the few rangers who rotated staying on the island. My focus was looking at their environmental education program, and seeing the shift from community based conservation to a government program. I interviewed locals and spent time talking to tourists, really understanding what this island means for their livelihoods.
At Denison, I was able to bring that research experience back and do a summer research study on nature learning. Professor Kaplan advised my project and I became even more interested in the elements of experiential learning. During my senior year, I did a research project on student preference when it comes to choice and learning styles. I was able to use my background in psychology and focus more on the education side of environmental studies. Throughout this time, I realized how much I wanted to continue being a part of experiential environmental education.
Within the department, I have now been able to work with other interested students as a Senior Fellow, and as the student representative on the department committee. It has been wonderful to work so closely with the faculty at Denison, and learn the process of developing schedules and discussing the goals of the program. I was further able to see the process behind hiring new faculty members as a representative on the most recent search committee. I learned so much about the time and effort put into bringing in new professors to the department, and it really helped my own ability to interview and apply for jobs after Denison.
Following graduation, I am lucky enough to be able to tie in environmental education and my study abroad experience. I will be working on Catalina Island off of California, as a marine science instructor. The Catalina Island Marine Institute is an experiential education program that focuses on bringing students and the outdoors together, while making sure there is a strong emphasis on academics. I will be able to teach about island sustainability, the local marine life, native plants, and exploring the environment with activities like hiking and snorkeling.

In an exclusive to Indiewire, the Seattle International Film Festival has announced that Joss Whedon's black-and-white modern take on William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" is locked in to open the 39th edition of the event on May 16, with Whedon and the cast in tow. The romantic comedy, which world premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has subsequently been picked up by Lionsgate, marks the first film completed by Bellwether Pictures, the micro-budget studio formed by Whedon and his wife, Kai Cole.
READ MORE: Joss Whedon on What 'Much Ado' Has In Common With 'The Avengers'
"I could not be happier that the Seattle International Film Festival will be opening this year with 'Much Ado About Nothing,'" said Much Ado star Alexis Denisof, who stars as Benedick in the film. "I grew up in Seattle, and it is where all my dreams of being an actor began. Bringing this movie to my hometown is a very special occasion."
SIFF artistic and co-director Carl Spence added, "'Much Ado' is the perfect film to open the 2013 Festival. The mash-up of Shakespeare with Joss Whedon's creativity in storytelling contemporizes the source material, infusing it with modern-day antics and making the original text refreshingly funny and accessible. This film is a passion project for Whedon, Cole, and his cast, and we are thrilled to celebrate it here in Seattle."
The festival runs May 16 - June 9.

It seems like as a homeowner we are always doing something to our home…outside, inside, major, minor, yada, yada, yada.
Then one day you look around and realize you haven't done any major re-decorating in years. What? Didn't I just say it seems like we're always doing something around the house?
I guess my last major decorating overhaul was years and years ago. Who knew! It seems like yesterday.
So now I'm going room to room replacing and up-dating things.
These Americana hang-ups are at the top of the list for trashing or making over. Ya'll know I hate to trash anything.
I guess they haven't bothered me much because they're in a little alcove where you can't really see them until you're hanging up your coat or hat.
They were a bargain.
Duck Tape brand duct tape from Wal-Mart and I don't remember if it was $3.99 or $4.99.
The hang-up thingies on the boards were so small and one was broken so I went through my hardware stash looking for other options.
I used spray paint on my finds.
The yellow spray paint wasn't doing it for me so I pulled out some orange acrylic.
For the boards I used an off-white paint.
This is how it looked with the new hardware and paint. I hate those stars, but I have a remedy for them.
Don't get me wrong, I like stars….big barn stars, rusty iron stars, the Stars and Stripes….I just don't like these stars.
aaahhhhh…..colorful Duck Tape brand duct tape
just stick it on
remove it or replace it later
so simple and such an improvement
Have you used duct tape for anything other that repairs or well…as tape?
I love all the bright colors and designs.
I'll be making more Duck Tape projects.
Thanks for stopping by,
Sign up to receive my posts in a reader here, or email sign-up on my sidebar, and a Facebook like is always cause for a happy dance.

Imposing curfew, slapping collective fine and taking to task sarpanch and elders in villages found to be giving food and shelter to Maoists aresome of the measures suggested by Mumbai Commissioner of Police Satyapal Singh to cripple the Naxal menace.
Calling Maoists 'snakes' for declaring a war against the state, he said, "They (Naxals) need to be searched, driven out or neutralised" by putting "collective responsibility" on villagers as even "passive neutrality" of locals is advantageous to the Maoists and an obstacle for security agencies.
In the latest issue of the Indian Police Journal (IPJ), a compendium of thoughts and comments of senior police and intelligence community officers brought out by the BPRD, the 1980-batch Maharashtra cadre police officer was critical about the state of affairs in dealing with Naxal violence, termed as the biggest threat to the internal security of the country.
He wrote that as far as anti-Maoist strategy in the country is concerned, the coordination among government agencies exists "mainly on paper". He said it was time to admit that the locals are not with the administration despite building roads, bridges and other infrastructure and it has led to little improvement in their quality of life. The Commissioner, in the topic "Fire in forest: Tackling Maoist menace", said the Maoist movement needs to be restricted "both physically and psychologically from the general population".
"To further this, extremist and public movements should regulated through the institution of collective responsibility meaning thereby that hosting the extremists by one in the village, attending the meeting of extremists, providing them food, etc., blocking the roads by felling trees should hold the entire village responsible.
"A collective fine for all village residents or curfew for two days may be thought of. Alternatively, the village Sarpanch, police patil and other village-elders should be punished." He said every member of a village, above 12 years of age, must be registered with the district administration and be issued an identity card. "For all regulatory measures, government should consider the enactment of an appropriate law," Singh wrote in his 20-page piece.
The Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD), a department for development on policing subjects under the Ministry of Home Affairs, brings out the publication every three months.
The IPS officer stated that while the notions of a 'red corridor' swamping large tracts of the country are "exaggerated", Naxals have enlarged their base and areas of militancy. "Not a day passes without

June 30, 1999WMU praying for Bengali Muslims___By Orville Scott ___Texas Baptist Communications___Woman's Missionary Union of Shelby-Doches Baptist Association has adopted a one-year prayer partnership with the 130 million Bengali Muslims who live on both sides of the India-Bangladesh border.___"Millions of them have never heard the name of Jesus," said associational WMU President Melba Tiller of First Baptist Church in Nacogdoches. "I'm standing on tiptoes to see how God is going to work through the prayers of people in Shelby-Doches Association." The associational WMU put feet to its prayers by sending $1,500 to purchase 300 Bibles in Bangladesh.___Bangladesh, next to Afghanistan, is the world's second-largest unevangelized country. Less than 1 percent of the 128 million people of Bangladesh are Christians.___"I've always had a love for missions, and I couldn't get the Bengali Muslims off my heart," said Tiller, who served as a secretary with the Baptist General Convention of Texas and has conducted numerous secretarial workshops in Texas and other states.___"Through our prayer partnership with Bengali Muslims, Texas Baptists have a wonderful opportunity to bring the light of Christ to the world's largest hidden, unreached people group," said Don Sewell, director of Texas Partnerships for the Baptist General Convention of Texas.___What Shelby-Doches Association is doing could be done in many other churches and associations, Sewell said, noting that specific prayer requests can be channeled to Texas churches interested in certain countries. Other ways to connect with partnership missions include prayer walks, disaster relief teams, mission trips, agricultural projects and encouraging Baptist businessmen to invest in the area.

New Delhi, Internationally acclaimed Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is quite impressed with Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminey" and says the film "catapults Indian cinema in modernity beyond (Quentin) Tarantino".
"The greatest thing about Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Kaminey' is that you cannot work out why it is working. You cannot work out why you are laughing amidst the ugliness of violence in perhaps India's first real dark comedy. And why in the final moments of the film with the brilliant background song by Vishal himself, you finally get the point of the film," Kapur posted on his blog www.shekharkapur.com.
"With violence all around you, you sense innocence caught in the crossfire of unnecessary violence. And finally you come away with a great sense of the pointlessness of it all. It's terrific… Vishal better think hard about how to surpass this one," he added.
A thoughtful director himself, Kapur further praised the technical aspects of the film that has Shahid Kapoor in a double role.
"The cinematography (by Tassaduq Hussain) is great as are some of the performances, the script and the editing. It is ultimately a director's brilliant vision of the world that is playing through," he said.
The 63-year-old, however, didn't seem to be too impressed with Bharadwaj's idea of making the lead characters lisp and stammer in the film.
"Did Vishal have to use the idea of stuttering and stammering with the main character though? It was a little over done and the only thing that harked to a more traditional form of comedy in Indian films. The film could have done with a little less of that," he wrote.
"Kaminey" is Bharadwaj's first commercial hit. It earned about Rs.330 million in its first weekend at the box office.

Michael Bay Defends Transformers
We all have nasty comments for the Transformers trilogy director, but at least the guy cares about his own work for the sake of enjoying film. When's the last time you were able to watch all of a Madea film without blabbering on about how terrible of a director Tyler Perry is?
I thought so. We do a little too much criticizing of the movies we see and not enough enjoying, which is to say that we have a severe issue with letting ourselves have some fun. Did I have fun with the Transformers series? Well, of course! That doesn't mean I don't have some criticism of my own.
So, what's the deal with Michael Bay then? The Bad Boys director took to a blog post on his website to voice a concern with online journalism, particularly the part where journalists don't do their jobs correctly. "No I did not 'apologize' for any Transformers movies. I did not say I shot the last three movies "less cool" than the new fourth installment. I was talking specifically about camera style and tone, of the first movie compared to how I shot the new installment with a very big scale, cinematic style." Bay said.
Elaborating more on the subject, Bay went on to say that "It is a drag talking to reporters on sets. Why? Because often times they take your words and skew things to their liking. Then the crazy, lazy game of reporting on what other writer's story's reported me saying and suddenly it becomes skewed Internet truth"
Sounds like a miscommunication of interests with a director that the journalist didn't like. Either way, I'm with Bay on this one. That doesn't mean that I like Transformers, though. I just don't think that a director ever has to apologize for his work.
It's a movie, guys. Shut up and enjoy yourself.
On the other hand, a little criticism is always welcomed to better improve your work. Of criticism, I don't spare a single ounce of negativity for Bay's work.
I found it difficult to believe that a regular high school teenager could be sporadically recruited into an ancient society of robotic giants that fight over a planet that died thousands of years ago. I'd say that it's just terrible science fiction or that subpar storytelling are the reasons I don't have anything nice to say, but it's got a lot more to do with the style of the scenes. Why is there always the need to inject hilarity and immaturity in areas of the story that we know it's not respectable to go?
Why did the writers think it was necessary to depict Mojo peeing on Ironhide? Why we bothered with an hour and half of pointless, high school melodrama? Megan Fox? Teenage love?
What the hell does that have to do with giant fighting robots?
The list can go on for days, and Bay would keep his calm and sunny disposition. I only wish the Internet had that same attitude.

I still see one of the biggest problems with WSB as the failure of the promoters to do just that, promote the series.
For all its faults BSB succeeds very well in that area and crowds are big as a result - there's something very wrong when a BSB round at Silverstone can attract a bigger attendance than a WSB round that has 7 British riders on the grid most of whom are capable of a win/podium. What happened to all those fanatics that followed Foggy, why isn't that level of enthusiasm being tapped into? The racing is always full-on, there's proper accessible characters riding the bikes, some-one is really missing a trick here but I don't trust Dorna to cash in on the potential they'll more likely not listen to the likes of SB and screw it up.

Welcome to my site. A mother, businesswoman and northerner, I am an instinctive Conservative with a passion for politics because good politics empowers people. Bad politics interferes with and limits people's lives.
If you had told me 20 years ago that I would be so actively involved in politics I would have laughed at you. But I couldn't sit back and watch anymore, in life and in business you have to get involved. Please do have a look around and see what I have been been up to, what I am doing at the moment and to learn about me and my values and beliefs and why I am so involved in politics.

Dear Colleagues:
This past Saturday, we witnessed the tragic loss of seven truly outstanding individuals who devoted their lives to the noble pursuit of knowledge. As members of the Tulane community, I know you join me in mourning their deaths and praying for their families, while acknowledging and standing in awe of their contributions to humanity.
Tulane University has had a long partnership with NASA and many Tulane experiments have been carried out aboard space shuttle flights. In these difficult times, we must have the strength and courage to move forward while always remembering the sacrifices others have made on our behalf.
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 email@example.com

Pres. Reagan's secret agent, Lee Wanta, masterminded a creative way to financially take down the economy of the Soviet Union. He joined Richard Syrett, along with Lon Gibby (director of a documentary about Wanta), to discuss his claim that he amassed trillions of dollars that were designated to go back to the American people. In his effort to carry out his mandate, he was imprisoned, and the funds were stolen or converted illegally into the Federal Reserve.
In the first hour, security consultant and researcher Colin Hall detailed his investigation into two unusual car accidents in England and France that seemed to have paranormal elements.

TOP FUEL TUESDAY CONTEST #2Written on October 2, 2012
Our first-ever TOP FUEL TUESDAY was a hit, so thank you for participating! Here's this weeks photo—Good Luck!
Each Tuesday HOT ROD will post an image from the 1964-72 time frame in drag racing fondly called the Golden Age. To win a cool HOT ROD magazine Tin Sign, T-shirt, or equally cool swag we come across back in the storage room, all you have to do is identify the car as it was known (calling the 1965 GTO "Brutus" driven by Jungle Jim Liberman "1965 Pontiac" won't work), driver, who sponsored it or where was the photo shot depending on the car, and year the car first ran. If you get all four correct—you win--unless there is more than one winner. Multiple winners will result in HOT ROD picking two at random. Winner(s) will be notified, at which time we'll need your mailing address. No repeat winners for 90 days.
Start by answering the questions below. Here's a hint: This car held speed and ET records at Lions, Orange County, Irwindale and Carlsbad raceways.

MONTERREY, Mexico — The wreckage of a small plane believed to be carrying Mexican-American singing superstar Jenni Rivera was found in northern Mexico on Sunday and there are no apparent survivors, authorities said.
Transportation and Communications Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said that "everything points toward" it being the U.S.-registered Learjet 25 carrying Rivera and six other people from Monterrey en route to Toluca, Mexico. The plane had gone missing after takeoff early Sunday.
"There is nothing recognizable, neither material nor human in the wreckage," Ruiz Esparza told the Televisa network.

Authorities had not confirmed that Rivera was among the dead.
Jorge Domene, spokesman for Nuevo Leon's government, said the plane left Monterrey about 3:30 a.m. after Rivera gave a concert there and aviation authorities lost contact with the craft about 10 minutes later. It had been scheduled to arrive in Toluca, outside Mexico City, about an hour later.
Also aboard the plane were her publicist, lawyer, makeup artist and the flight crew.
The 43-year-old who was born and raised in Long Beach, California, is one of the biggest stars of the Mexican regional style known as grupero music, which is influenced by the norteno, cumbia and ranchera styles.
RELATED: Best and Worst Dressed Celebrities
The so-called "Diva de la Banda" was beloved by fans on both sides of the border for such songs as "De Contrabando" and "La Gran Senora."
She recently won two Billboard Mexican Music Awards: Female Artist of the Year and Banda Album of the Year for "Joyas prestadas: Banda."
The singer, businesswoman and actress appeared in the indie film Filly Brown, as the incarcerated mother of Filly Brown, and has her own reality shows including "I Love Jenni" and "Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis and Raq-C" and her daughter's "Chiquis 'n Control."
Rivera had given a concert before thousands of fans in Monterrey on Saturday night. After the concert she gave a press conference during which she spoke of her emotional state following her recent divorce from former Major League Baseball pitcher Esteban Loaiza, who played for teams including the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
RELATED: New Celeb Couples of 2012
"I can't get caught up in the negative because that destroys you. Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do. I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other woman," she said Saturday night. "The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up."
The mother of five children and grandmother of two had announced in October that she was divorcing Loaiza after two years of marriage. It was her third marriage.
Rivera is the sister of Mexican singer Lupillo Rivera. Patricia Chavez of Lupillo Rivera's office in the United States told The AP that "for now we don't have any information that would be useful."

Hey guys. She's due for her 100 mile tuneup this weekend, but I've recently noticed this. Honestly, I Can't remember if it was always there, and I just noticed it, or if it developed. Regardless, when freewheeling, this nasty grinding sound persists. It's not the fenders, they have 100% clearance. I think it has something to do with the hub, as you can hear it when I'm backpeddling at the start of the video. The audio quality isn't amazing, it's really a smooth grinding sound in real life...
I assume it's not normal, of course. Really just didn't want to sound like an idiot when going into the LBS for the tuneup, and wanted to know what this really is first.
In the audio, it almost sounds like rubber // the tire is rubbing, but that's not the case. Besides, obviously then it would persist when pedaling, as well as wouldn't exist when just reverse pedaling.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
In September, consumers and the dietary supplement industry achieved a major victory in the pursuit of good health. On September 28, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a coalition of health practitioners, scientists and manufacturers, including the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), agreed on the wording for qualified health claims for selenium against various forms of cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just agreed to new Qualified Health Claims for selenium. The law firm of Emord & Associates announced on September 28 that a partial settlement with FDA has been achieved following the decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in ANH v. Sebelius.
The good news is that nutrition can greatly reduce injuries and soreness, while improving performance at the same time.
This month, we will chat with Dr. Dyerberg about the details and meaning of these studies.
Do all omega-3 fatty acids provide heart benefits? Does the ratio of EPA to DHA matter? Is EPA good for the heart while DHA is good for the brain? Does it matter if EPA and DHA are present as free fatty acids, triglycerides or ethyl esters? Several misconceptions have arisen over the years and some readers may be surprised at the answers to these questions.
Last month, we chatted with Dr. Jørn Dyerberg about his major health discovery of omega-3 fatty acids in human health. While that part of the interview with Dr. Dyerberg was in press, another major confirming study was published that should be noted...

Must-see fireworks: Vegas to Rushmore to Cape Cod
BETH J. HARPAZ - Associated Press
The recession has forced the cancellation of fireworks displays in a number of places around the country like Blue Springs, Mo., and Mesa, Ariz. But many of the biggest and best-known displays will be nearly as spectacular as ever.
"Some larger displays have been trimmed a bit but nothing that will have a major impact on the industry," said Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association.
The timing of the holiday, on a Saturday, has actually "helped the fireworks industry" in some places, said M. Philip Butler, spokesman for Grucci, the famous fireworks company. "Whenever it's a Saturday Fourth of July, we will have as much as a 50 percent increase in demand."
Grucci shows this year include displays in Dallas, Omaha, Neb., Hawaii and Portland, Maine, along with Station Casinos in Las Vegas and the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
Butler said "the most popular shell is still the happy face." And fireworks choreographed to music -- often patriotic medleys, sometimes performed live -- also remain popular, usually with radio simulcasts.
Patterns and shapes like stars, fish, hearts and cubes are becoming more prevalent, Heckman said. "The real challenge is making letters appear in the sky," she said. "It's really difficult to get an aerial shell to break so it looks like an M and not a W."
Grucci's fireworks at the Hickam Air Force Base and Pearl Harbor in Hawaii are scheduled to send up the letters "USA" while the national anthem is played.
Heckman issues an annual list of "must-see" fireworks shows, but she says your local display may be just as much fun. "The low-level show, which you're not going to see in a big city skyline, can be prettier," she said. "And a lot of the fun of it is just the community involvement, hanging out and tailgating and waiting for that first burst."
What Heckman calls "star-spangled spectaculars" will take place as usual in New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington and Boston, which is known for its famous Fourth of July Boston Pops concert, this year featuring Neil Diamond. But here are a dozen more fireworks displays recommended by the American Pyrotechnics Association, including a few scheduled for July 3:
ADDISON, Texas: This Dallas suburb has a population of just 14,000 but tens of thousands of spectators turn out for the Kaboom Town fireworks held here each July 3.
BRANSON, Mo.: Another July 3 event, this display at Branson Landing in Historic Downtown Branson on Lake Taneycomo is surrounded by fountains and choreographed to an outdoor concert.
CHICAGO: Chicago's annual July 3 event on the lakefront is considered "one of the boldest, brightest, and biggest patriotic fireworks spectaculars of its kind," Heckman said. The city's Taste of Chicago event, June 26-July 5, is at the same location. Be prepared for massive crowds.
COLUMBUS, Ohio: The event known as "Red, White & BOOM!" is held July 3 near Veteran's Memorial in downtown Columbus. It's one of the largest in the Midwest after Chicago's, with a parade and 400,000 folks attending.
MOUNT RUSHMORE, S.D.: This national monument hosts a glorious pyrotechnic display on July 3 that attracts 20,000 to 30,000 people. Officials say if you're planning to attend, be prepared to park anywhere from 1 to 3 miles away, and don't be in a hurry to leave as it can take an hour or more to clear roadways after the show.
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.: This park near Atlanta will host big fireworks shows three nights in a row, July 3, 4 and 5. The display will be combined with a laser light show at the base of the mountain. You have to pay to park your car but the shows are free.

Chetwood was the broad woodland that lay to the north and east of the Bree-hill. The village of Archet was built among the trees near its edge.
Chet is a British word meaning "Forest, wood", related to Celtic. The effect of a compound name from Celtic and English words of the same meaning are seen in Brill, Oxfordshire (bree + hill; bree meaning "hill").[1]
There is a Cheetwood in Lancashire and a Chetwode in Buckinghamshire.

Choice and Special Education
3 Comments | Print | NO PDF | Share
Marcus Winters has an excellent new study on charter schools and special education. Why are there large gaps between the percentages of students classified as disabled in charter and traditional public schools? A large part of the explanation — about 80% of the difference — can be explained by the fact that charters are just less likely to classify students as disabled and more likely to declassify them. That is, charters have students with almost the same distribution of true disabilities as found in traditional public schools, they just don't put labels on as many of them. Here's how Marcus put it:
The gap in special education rates between charter and traditional public schools grows considerably as students progress from kindergarten through third grade. A large part (80 percent) of the growth in this gap over time is that charter schools are less likely than district schools to classify students as in need of special education services and more likely to declassify them….
…the results do not suggest that charter schools are refusing to admit or are pushing out students with special needs. In fact, more students with previously identified disabilities enter charter schools than exit them as they progress through elementary grade levels…
By far, the most substantial growth in the special education gap occurs in the least severe category, that of specific learning disability. Rates of classification in what might be considered the more severe (and less subjective) categories of special education—autism, speech or language impairment, or intellectual disability—remain quite similar in charter and traditional public schools over time.
So… charter schools are not taking on students with dramatically different true disabilities; the traditional public schools are just more strongly inclined to classify the same kind of student as disabled. And the traditional public schools mostly do this in the more subjective categories of disability, like specific learning disability.
These findings follow the same pattern as what Patrick Wolf, David Fleming, and John Witte discovered with special education and private schools participating in Milwaukee's voucher program. Schools of choice appear to be open to students with disabilities but aren't as bureaucratically inclined to label students as disabled as are traditional public schools.

Comment on this article
Is this because if they labeled them then they'd have to legally provide them with special services? Or is something else going on?
And/Or, because it may give them an additional sub-group in NCLB reporting that would have to report on.
Parents with students with severe needs may also feel their child's needs would not be met by the charter schools program and choose not to enroll them. Often parents of children with more severe forms of autism seek out schools with specific types of services that are not available in charter schools.

Mark Carney isn't all we lost last week
By Kevin Press, BrighterLife.ca
It wasn't a surprise that the Bank of England wanted Mark Carney for its top job. Earlier this year, there were media reports from Britain suggesting someone at a senior level was making a play for our much-admired Bank of Canada Governor. At the time, it felt like a move designed to twist Carney's arm as visibly as possible. Clearly, it worked. His exit is scheduled for the middle of next year.
The news came amidst a slew of weak economic reports here at home. We lost more than a central banker last week. Our slow-motion recovery lost a bit more momentum. Three things:
- Gross domestic product (GDP) growth is waning. It was up just 0.1% in the third quarter. Q2 growth wasn't much better; it came in at 0.4%. Weak business investment was part of the story. After a string of positive quarterly results stretching back to the second half of 2009, business investment in non-residential structures dropped 1.1% in the last quarter. Investment in machinery and equipment rose just 0.1%.
- The poor GDP result was also driven by weak export numbers. Exports to the U.S. fell $2.4 billion, which was enough to lower our trade surplus with the U.S. to $600 million. Globally, exports fell $3.7 billion to $112.7 billion. It was the third straight quarter in which the value of our total exports fell.
- Payroll employment fell in September. Non-farm payroll employment dropped by 52,500 in September, relative to the previous month. The worst numbers came out of the manufacturing, accommodation and food services, administrative and support services and other services sectors. This negative report followed six months of improving numbers. So year-over-year, payroll employment is up 1.6%.
None of this amounts to a significant negative turn for the Canadian economy. There was good news on the consumer spending front, even if it wasn't particularly robust. Spending was up 0.9% in Q3, the best result since 2010. But the household saving rate is down, from 4.2% in Q2 to 3.9% in Q3. Canada's household debt service ratio (calculated by dividing the interest paid on household mortgage and non-mortgage debt by disposable income) is at 7.4%. It's been stuck at about that level all year.
On the whole, last week's numbers reflect a kind of drift sideways. Our recovery continues to limp along weakly.
Tomorrow, the Bank of Canada is expected to announce that the overnight rate will remain at 1%. The consensus opinion is that our domestic economy will not be strong enough to tolerate a rise in interest rates until the second half of next year. So as work gets under way to replace Carney, we are in a holding pattern.
I think we can make two assumptions safely, barring a fiscal cliff-sized disaster in the U.S. First, Carney will in fact hold the overnight rate at 1% throughout the remainder of his term. And second, his replacement will continue to manage Canadian monetary policy and its financial system in much the same way he has. We can stomach a change in leadership, but probably not a change in direction.

Face Off 4 Recap — Welcome To Hell
January 30, 2013 09:38 AM by Ryan Haidet
The 12 remaining Face Off contestants were forced to face their demons — literally. "Welcome to Hell," host McKenzie Westmore said to all of them as they arrived in the desert to learn about their next Spotlight Challenge. Working in teams of two, each randomly paired duo selected a demon from a specific culture with the task of bringing the evil being to life. The aspiring special effects makeup artists loved the concept of the challenge, but little did they know there was a big twist that would suddenly change their entire designs. In the end, the finished demonic makeups from frozen hell were far superior to the superhero disasters from last week's episode. Not only do we have all the details inside this article, but, as always, we've got more close-up photos of the finished makeups than you'll find anywhere else. Jump in and enjoy!
After taking time to sketch their creations and starting to sculpt the demons, McKenzie arrived at the lab with a little surprise twist. "Hell has frozen over," she said before telling the contestants they now needed to alter their initial ideas to make their creations ice demons. "Good luck changing your designs," McKenzie teased the stunned artists. "I'll see you tomorrow."
Without any hesitation, each team quickly found a way to incorporate the challenge's twist into their creation. It didn't seem like much of a problem at all because the primary change for each design was simply the colors. One team, however, was facing a situation that left them struggling with time. Jenna, who has a tumor in her hand, was having a tough time working on the demon creation. She said the tumor presses on a bundle of nerves in her hand that makes her fingers numb. Her partner, Katie, was understanding of the situation, but was also worried about the negative impact it was having on them successfully creating their demon.
At the end of the three-day process, here's a closer look at each of the finished makeups:
The following two makeups were ranked in the middle of the bunch and deemed immediately safe without any open critiques from the judges.
House and Meagan created Azi Dahaka, a Persian demon resembling a fiendish snake. House was irritated with the snake puppet on his model's right hand because he felt it could have looked a lot better than it did.
Kris and Eric Z. created Abraxas, a demon from Egyptian culture with the head of a lion.
Alam and Anthony created Deumus, a Hindu goddess known for her four horns and hooked nose. "It's pretty, it's very colorful," Alam said as their demon stood on the reveal stage. Judge Glenn Hetrick said the themes were successfully integrated into their makeup. Judge Ve Neill loved their color choices. In the end, the judges determined this was the best complete makeup and crowned Anthony as the winning artist of the entire challenge. That means Anthony continues his undefeated winning streak having been named victorious of four challenges in a row. Seriously, at this point, I don't see how he can lose. He has proven himself so many times as the best in this batch. He deserves it. Despite the judge's praise on this makeup, I think this one would have been better ranked in the middle of the pack. It really didn't appeal to me as the best of the challenge.
Eric F. and Wayne created Chort, a Russian demon with a pig face, horns and hooves. Eric F. went into the task with a big idea to create animatronic eyes. Ultimately, the eyes didn't work when something went wrong during the last hour. But it didn't really matter. "The silhouette is wonderful," judge Neville Page praised. "Those are beautiful pieces," he added explaining his thoughts on the horns. Glenn said he liked the piece as a whole, but wish they had spent more time on the paint job. Ve even said the work was "really beautiful." Personally, I didn't think this was as great a finished makeup as the judges touted it to be. Was it horrible? No. But I just don't see what they saw in it. What do you think of it? Worthy of being labeled among the top looks?
Alex and Autumn created Pazuzu, an ancient Babylonian demon that protects humans. It has features of a man's body and a dog/lion face. Autumn was extraordinarily confident in their creation as it walked out on stage, calling it the "cutest" gargoyle ever. As the judges got a closer look, they were especially displeased with the facial sculpt. But Autumn's overconfidence oozed over the top as she stood on the sidelines thrilled that they were likely talking about how awesome their demon's face wrinkles were. "I think the face sculpture is very very rough, honey," Ve told Autumn adding it looked like it was carved with a spoon. Glenn said it looks good far away, but not even close to being camera-ready when peering at it up close. "When you walk up to that thing, it punches you in the face with how bad it sucks," Glenn said. Truthfully, I did like this one more than Eric F. and Wayne's. I didn't think it was as terrible as Glenn made it out to be. Maybe it seemed different in studio?
Katie and Jenna created Eurynome, a Grecian demon that feasted on dead bodies and has wolf-like teeth. "He does look different, but not in a good way," Katie said as it walked out onto the reveal stage. "I know that it's crap. I have a feeling that it's going to be one of us that's going home." Jenna also realized it wasn't looking good for them. "Our demon looks like a big, black mess," she said. Primarily, the judges were disappointed the most with the lackluster paint job. Overall, it was ranked as the worst of the challenge and the judges chose to send Katie home for her work on the back and arm extensions. What a bummer. I think Katie has a lot of potential and I really like her positive personality. I wish she would have been given a bit more time to prove her talent.

I think they really missed an important part of Pazuzu. I'm kind of a mythology buff, and this was even mentioned in the original blurb about Pazuzu when the pair started explaining their task. Pazuzu has two pairs of wings, and they should be feathered, not bat-like. There should have been an upper set of wings that pointed upward, and then a second, lower set of wings that trailed downward.

8 Tips to Sleep Better and Longer, Tonight
As we move into spring it's the perfect time to become more mindful of our sleep patterns. Adequate rest is important for so many reasons. Health and fitness expert Stephanie Mansour of Step it Up with Steph points out that adequate rest can help reset and cleanse our bodies to get back on track. "Some people even look at spring as a rebirth or revival and a chance to start over," she said, suggesting more rest can be a "spring resolution" of sorts.
Mary Hartley, RD, agrees, noting good rest is necessary all year long. "Health wise, sleep is just as important as diet and exercise," she said. "Getting enough sleep may also be a critical factor in a person's weight."
While 7-8 hours is recommended and a new study even suggests Americans are getting more shut eye than usual, it's also important to ensure it's quality rest. Otherwise, the benefits of those precious ZZZs can slip right through our fingers.
To help, we've gathered eight simple tips to help you start sleeping better and longer, tonight.

Farmer wins contest for Hebron Fire Hall
Hebron Fire Protection District will now be able to better protect the community, thanks to the support of local farmer, Ronald Schantz, and America's Farmers Grow Communities.
Ronald Schantz, of Hebron, has been selected as a winner in America's Farmers Grow Communities, which gives farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation to direct to their favorite local nonprofit organizations. Ronald Schantz selected the Hebron Fire Protection District.
The Hebron Fire Protection District received the $2,500 donation through America's Farmers Grow Communities, during a public ceremony on Monday, March 25.
"It is great that I can give back to my fire department through Grow Communities," Schantz said. "It is really expensive to keep all the equipment and supplies up to date and I'm sure this donation will help them out."
The district will use the donation to purchase gas monitors and a thermal image monitor.
In 1,271 eligible counties in 39 states, farmers could sign up for the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite community nonprofit. This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest over $5 million in rural America through Grow Communities, which includes double donations for counties suffering from the historic drought. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund's overall effort to support rural America. In North Dakota, $127,500 is being given across 33 counties.

Electric vans work for your business now! Go get one while they're hot…
- Date
- 21 February 2012
By Robin Haycock, Head of Transport, The Climate Group.
February 21, 2012.
We launched our Plugged-in Fleets report today (so I may be biased) but we put a lot of effort into ensuring that the report's analysis offers a realistic view of where electric vehicles work best - both in duty cycle and financial considerations - within the fleet market. For example, I insisted on a 'discounted' price for a diesel van but no discount on the EV equivalent, as this is a true reflection of today's market.
In the making of the report, we spoke to fleet managers in the UK, spent time understanding the issues and developed modelling tools with Cenex and EST. And in the timescale of a lease with a 'likely' direction of travel for fossil fuel prices at the pumps, I am willing to lay a bet that the economics of the EV will increase from now on, based around total cost of ownership.
So of course my excitement is high. I can now address the rather tiresome tactic of the person that wants to slow the inevitable move to sustainable mobility, energy security and a cleaner world. Their argument – clever as it is – is to suggest that they completely agree with the move towards a cleaner world (they are "right behind it" even), but that it is probably something for five years from now.
For people that have vested interests in the status quo, produce a lot of old tech solutions, simply haven't got their acts together, or indeed those who haven't sweated their assets fully, it's a good story to put out.
However, if you postulate along these lines, then nobody will buy electric vehicles now. And if nobody buys vehicles now, the postulation never comes true, as the costs don't come down. Clever tactics.
Well with this report, and a new initiative about to be launched by Transport for London to follow on with direct action, support and analysis to pledging fleets, we will be able to show how EVs in fleets in the right situation now and that they are financially viable.
This may be an extreme case, but to make a point, if you drive a Kangoo into the congestion zone five days a week on business, you can be driving at 20ppm lower than a diesel van equivalent.
But it is not just the congestion zone where we can make the case. 7p per mile is common outside London too, with the new Plugged-in Van Grant offered today by OLEV.
In 2012 we are going to see a focus on these opportunities, and I'm looking forward to being a part of making this happen. Biased or not, I'm very excited.

How to make a 2 part form to Get Email Address?Asked by squeakycleanhouse on April 12, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Basically, I am wanting to make a simple "Get Quote" form that asks for Contact Info including Email address.
Then, I would have a button that says "calculate quote" and it then submits to me their info and takes them to 2nd form w/ prices and to book appointment next.
My goal here is to get their info before they leave the site.
I made a form here w/ Conditional options but they could still get pricing and leave the site and I would not get their contact info.
I tried to do a conditional form to form but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
If there is a way to get their EMAIL address while just having 1 form, that would be awesome!!
email conditional form prices next
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, there is no way to capture a form field value unless the submit button is clicked by the user.
How about creating two different forms - one for basic info (email, name, etc) and the other for prices and appointment booking? The second form will be linked to the first one using the Thank You URL option.
This way, you will be able to always get their email and name even if they abandon the second form.
funny you said this. I was just doing that but then got stuck on how to pull in some fields from form 1 to form 2 so I know they are connected. I assume it would be using Hidden fields on Form 2?
I have replied to this thread regarding this inquiry: http://www.jotform.com/answers/91810-Pull-Values-in-from-1-form-to-another#1
Thank you. Please let us know if you have other questions or concerns.

Although the terms poisonous and venomous are often used interchangeably in common usage, the difference is the method of delivery; a venomous creature delivers the toxin by some method (typically fangs or stingers), but a poisonous creature or plant imparts the toxin passively (either by ingestion or contact).

Where in Lake Borgne were you? I've only caught hardheads lately!
Fished shorelines in the lake using a cork with live shrimp and topwater early in the morning for larger fish.
What is the deal? I saw schools of hard heads and lady fish just at the mouth of Rigolets yesterday. I fishing a carolina rig w/live shrimp and nothing but hardheads. Shrimp under popping cork and same thing, hardheads. The bits that I did get that were not trash fish were soft and on plastics/gulp. I may go back tomorrow and stick to the ponds. Seems to be the way to go right now.
My buddy has been making a couple trips a week while I've been gone and has been killing it. First thing the lady fish have been at the mouth of the pass almost every trip I've made just don't waste your time. Second thing is get out there super early to beat the heat best bite has been early. Third before you go out I'd pull up google maps and look at the shorelines of lake B. Pick out any points any drains and make a game plan before you go out. Stick and move and you will come across them. Good luck ill before out there tomorrow afternoon.
