(RNN) - Summer is drawing to a close, schools are opening back up all over the country, and soon, parents will once again start hearing kids' eternal complaint that homework and school will never help them in the future.
But while students may not always use a lot of algebra later in life, the skills they develop doing homework will stay with them.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, homework not only allows students to review what they have learned in class and to explore subjects more fully, it also teaches them self-discipline, responsibility and how to work independently.
They may not remember what the square of the hypotenuse equals or how many electrons are in a hydrogen atom, but the time they spend learning and the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing an assignment will stay with them.
When helping can hurt
When parents are too involved with homework assignments and give their children answers or complete projects for them, it can diminish the independence that homework is meant to teach and can even make the kids become lackluster students.
"If a parent completes homework for a child, it has a negative impact because that is what the child expects. In the real world, they will look for someone who will do it for them. It tends to serve as a reinforcement of dependent behavior," said Dr. Jan Oliver, associate professor and chairman of the department of education at Troy University.
Parents may think that due to time constraints, completing homework for their child is helping more than hurting, but it can have long-term effects.
Peggy Fillio, a spokeswoman for the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), says that she has seen students who weren't required to learn on their own, struggle in college.
"We'll sometimes hear about freshmen who go to college and hit the wall. And it's because they've never had to do it all by themselves. They haven't developed the study skills and the perseverance that it takes to be able to compete and come up with things that are a bit harder to do," Fillio said.
Fillio says that asking questions that encourage students to come to their own conclusions is a healthy way to avoid doing the work for them.
"Sometimes parents try to help too much … parents aren't doing this because they're bad parents, they're doing it because they care about their kids and are trying to make life easier for them," she said.
"Parents need to learn how to look at their children and say 'I know this is really hard, but you can do it.' The most important questions parents can ask kids are 'Why do you think that?' or 'Why do you think that might be happening?' rather than giving them the answers."
Striking the balance
However, a healthy dose of parental involvement in the homework process is essential.
The U.S. Department of Education stresses the importance of parents' interest and involvement in their child's homework habits. If students know their parents are interested and care, then they tend to be motivated.
Dr. Karl Kirkland, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Montgomery, AL, said that a good way for parents to show they care is by simply being a good role model.
"Kids who come from families with parents who read, study and are good role models show positive results. Parents should try reading the same books that students are reading and then discussing the material with them," Kirkland said.
Below are a few healthy ways that parents can help their children with homework
As school starts up and the complaints roll in, parents must remember to remind their children of the importance of what they're learning and just how bright it might make their future.

This year, the most common question I have received is how to tell apart our globe thistles. Hopefully this blooming blog post will clear things up and make you an expert the next time you visit.
In case you do not know what I'm talking about, I'll fill you in. Near our Rainbird sculpture on the the Floral Walk and entrance to the Fragrance Garden are 3 different colors of Echinops; two on the east side and one on the west side of the path.
First, on the east side of the path, we have just the straight species Echinops ritro. It has a light blue, spiky inflorescence.

TEAMS: Boston Bruins, New England Patriots
Via The Awesome Boston:
In Boston right now, we have a terrorist pleading not guilty and blowing kisses, a former NFL star accused of murder, mobsters swearing at each other in court, a cornerback on probation getting a DUI and of course Tim Tebow. But of all these news items and the crazy headlines they are producing, this report about Whitey Bulger takes the cake.
Via The Boston Liberal:
"Whitey Bulger got to experience something very few Boston fans have: watching the Bruins win the Stanley Cup in person.
According to an FBI agent who works out of the Boston office, the FBI tailed Whitey for several weeks before making an arrest. Obviously, the FBI would not swoop in and arrest him the second they found him. They wanted to find out who he was talking to, and who else might be providing him assistance.
While they were tailing him, he boldly drove 20+ hours from Santa Monica and crossed the Canadian border to Vancouver. There he somehow scored a game 7 ticket."
Driving to Vancouver to watch the Boston Bruins win a Stanley Cup while being the FBI's #1 most wanted criminal is so far past being a fan that I don't even know what to call it. The FBI agents tailing Bulger had to think he was traveling to Canada for something a little more scandalous than a hockey game. They probably figured they were about to uncover some massive Canadian crime syndicate. and I would have paid a million dollars to be in the unmarked car with the agents when they saw him pull up to The Rogers Arena, scalp a ticket and go inside for Game 7.
For those unfamiliar with Bulger, he was powerful crime figure in the Boston-area during the second-half of the twentieth century (Jack Nicholson's character in 'The Departed' was loosely based on Bulger) He eventually became an informant for the FBI in 1975, but his criminal activities did not stop, in fact, he only became more powerful in the Boston underworld during this time. In 1994, he was tipped off that the Feds were coming after him with a RICO charge, and immediately went into hiding, where he would remain in the shadows for the next 16 years, until he was found to be living in Santa Monica with a long-time girlfriend and later arrested.
He is currently on trial in Boston, where he is accused of committing 19 murders.
that's probably the only game the Stooges at the FBI know about most likely there were many more sport and entertainment events the great Whitey Bulger has been too.
Boston Bruins: Will the Bruins be better or worse this season?
Tebow unlikely to make final roster?

Diskitis is swelling (inflammation) and irritation of the space between the bones of the spine (intervertebral disk space).
Disk inflammation
Diskitis is an uncommon condition. It is usually seen in children younger than age 10.
Diskitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, or it can be caused by other inflammation, such as from autoimmune diseases (conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks certain cells in the body). The upper back (thoracic) and low back (lumbar) disks are most commonly affected.
Diskitis can also be confused with problems related to hip pain.
The goal is to treat the cause of the inflammation and reduce pain. Your child may receive antibiotics if the health care provider suspects an infection. Autoimmune diseases are often treated with anti-inflammatory medications.
If the condition does not improve, steroids may be given, although an infection should be ruled out first. Pain may be relieved with painkillers (analgesics
) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Talk to the health care provider about the best choice of medications.
Bed rest or immobilization (which may require a brace) may be recommended in some cases.
Children with an infection should fully recover after treatment. Chronic back pain from this condition is very rare.
In cases of autoimmune disease, the outcome depends on the condition. These are often chronic illnesses.
Call your health care provider if your child has persistent back pain or problems with standing and walking that seem unusual for his or her age.

Just thought I'd update real quick about how visitation went yesterday after the no show last week. I was pretty nervous about it, thought mom might be off of her meds or something. Seems she's still on them though she seemed a little different. They said once she realized she forgot she went to pieces and was on the phone with her mental health people for over an hour she was so upset. I think it helped her to know that we weren't mad and she loved the Christmas ornament of baby girl's foot that we made for her. We also gave her a lot of Christmas pics and she loved those too. We talked for a while before she got there with the lady supervising her visit (not a SW) I'm not sure what her job title is. She's an older lady and everyone calls her super Grandma. Lol. She's really really nice and knows how to handle these things so well. She told us that supervising the visits just made her so sad. She said that the mom was sweet and good natured but that from her observations because of her mental problems she just can't get it together.
She seems to think it's impossible and said she had real concerns about her forgetting that she had a baby for a while. She was talking about how gullible she is too and vulnerable and hearing all of that just breaks my heart. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in her world...having this problem, knowing you have it, and knowing it'll never go away. Seems even medicated her chances aren't very good she'll get any of her kids back. She loves them so much but she just hasn't a clue how to raise a child of any age it seems and it's just sad. I don't know who baby girl will end up with but I hope if it's not us that whoever it is will tell her how much her mom loves her and how she wanted her so so bad but that she just wasn't able to get it together. Honestly, if she could I couldn't be anything but happy for her but after 12 years of history it just really seems unlikely that it's a possibility because medicated or not she can only achieve a certain level of awareness. She's very child like in a way...her kids are more like dolls to her I think. It just makes me sad though because she's not a bad person. She's just a broken person and not by her own doing at all. She says it makes her happy to see how well baby girl is doing though and she knows she's safe and happy and loved. So that makes me feel a little better, that we can at least give her some peace of mind. Just had to write something about it. It's been with me since yesterday.

By: MHSilver x Show Full PostThere is only one appropriate response when a girl you are sexually attracted to says she just wants to be friends.
"No thanks, I have enough friends."
Accept that being friends with this girl is not what you want.
Accept that there is no way for a relationship of any kind to work unless both partners are getting what they want out of it.
Accept that taking the pressure to impress off yourself, and putting the pressure on her (you can take a chance or you can lose everything - attention, affection etc), puts you in a position of power rather than a pitiful position of groveling.
Accept that, at the stage of the relationship you have, this woman is interchangable and completely replacable by any other woman of similar attractiveness. She is not special. She is not the one. She's just another girl, and one that apparently isn't interested. There is no shortage of women out there to make you forget about her.Feb 15, 2013 3:46pm PSTThere is only one appropriate response when a girl you are sexually attracted to says she just wants to b... : MHSilver
So apparently Sony learned nothing from the PS3, and sixais. Lets release a half-cocked controller that doesn't do what the competition does but is intrusive... Seriously a touch screen without a screen!!! F-ing lame, as a vita owner let me tell you the worst feature of the vita... I just did;)
As for the PS4 I guess the only thing that would have excited me was a outstanding price. As is a bunch of "ok middle of the road games" not really a selling point sure they'll be fun. I really enjoyed motor storm, but these aren't "Elite" titles.

I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that Nintendo jumped on the 3D bandwagon. 3D has been a pet project of that company on a number of occasions. According to an Iwata asks, former company president Hiroshi Yamauchi was particularly keen on the idea of objects popping out of the screen.
The glasses-free tech used in the 3DS screen was originally prototyped as an add-on peripheral for the GameCube, and the original Luigi's Mansion was compatible with the device, though the add-on itself was scrapped because screen resolutions at the time were not where they needed to be.
And of course, even before that, you had the Virtual Boy, and before that even, there were some first-party famicom games (or possibly just one, I might be misremembering) released only in Japan that came with shutter-glasses.
I'm sure that the sudden popularity of 3D bolstered the crap out of their E3 hype, but I'm sure design of the hardware was not a reaction to 3D being trendy at that moment.
That said, to say that it's now a vestigial feature is spot on. Not to be Mr. Itoldyaso, but I had a feeling from the get-go that this would end up being the case. There were some among us, I daresay, who maybe let their imagination run a little too wild with how 3D tech could be applied to games. In reality, it mostly just looks neat, and that's all it really needs to do. Designing games to be dependent on 3D severely limits the kinds of games you can create.Feb 18, 2013 3:19pm PSTI don't think it's entirely accurate to say that Nintendo jumped on the 3D bandwagon. 3D has been a pet p... : CampKusoge

By: PudgyNinja x Show Full PostWhile I agree with more or less everything Jeff said about Fire Emblem, the way in which it was discussed is a pet peeve of mine in video game coverage.
I think that Jeff has an overall positive response to this game. But he spent a disproportionate amount of time talking about how bad it is at certain things.
To break it down:
Roughly 40 seconds spent on a basic description of the game.
3 minutes talking directly about how bad the story and presentation is.
1 minute talking about how Ni No Kuni and Valkyria Chronicles are better than Fire Emblem
1 minute talking about how JRPGs in general and Fire Emblem specifically, are bad with story.
And then a bare 1.5 minutes talking about what he actually liked about the game.
Now, as I said, I don't disagree with the substance of what was said. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't talk about the things that don't work in a game. You absolutely should. What I'm saying is that the way you talk about a game should reflect your overall impressions. If you think that the game is awesome and you dig it and the bad story presentation is a minor issue, then the ratio here should be flipped. 90 seconds talking about why the story didn't work and then 5 minutes talking about what you loved about it. The way that it was discussed makes it feel like the story is a HUGE problem with the game because of the amount of time devoted to it, despite the fact that you do say that it is an awesome game.
To be clear, this is not something that is specific to Jeff. I see it all over games coverage. Particularly in podcasts where people are speaking extemporaneously. And I understand that it's an unscripted conversation, so these things happen. All I ask is that you try to think about this from time to time.

So I never told this girl that I liked her. I was attempting to just be friends with her, which was difficult, she was pretty, and super cool. So to come to terms with this I turned to google for advice on how to deal with my situation. how to just be friends with a girl you like... or something along those lines. One day we were working on a project on my macbook and she saw my recent google search! Awkward moment to say the least. I regret not telling this girl how much I liked her, and not properly managing my search history.
In his case I would ignore her, hope that she missed me, and decides that she likes me enough to sleep with me to keep me around. Maybe not the best advice, just what I'd do.Feb 17, 2013 9:01pm PST
Alright so about poor dude and the girl that just wants to be friends... Jeff and the girls are right, and Garnett had bad advice... However, Garnett was right get some flowers and say to
"I know you don't want to be with me, but these are for you because you are so....(whatever word you wish to use to say beautiful)." Then in the most manly way you can say "you know my number give me a call when those other losser let you down like they will." Then walk away and be polite if she wants to talk but start searching for someone else whole damn barrel full of fish in the world son enjoy it.Feb 15, 2013 1:41pm PSTAlright so about poor dude and the girl that just wants to be friends...

By: SinisterInfant x Show Full Postso the discussion on Aliens being servicable versus broken really breaks my brain. i thought all of the gaming world had just given up on having games that work all the way through. I mean you guys did give Skyrim the game of the year nod. That game was straight up broke on PS3 and essentially remains broke even with 3 DLC packs out, none of which work yet on PS3. Caveat your opinions all your want but there are few in the review industry that can stand on busted buggy games effecting review scores with the madness of the 2011 game of the year stuff out there.
I mean it's not like we aren't going to give Gearbox a pass when the next Borderlands DLC comes out or they announce their next game. Cause we are. Regardless that it will be built on the broken corpse of Aliens.Feb 17, 2013 5:20pm PST
By: MHSilver x Show Full PostThe mismanagement of Aliens: Colonial Marines is a crying shame.
There's no doubt that the Aliens universe and aesthetic has been plundered by the gaming industry to such an extent that everything that once made it unique seems par for the course, but I still think a game that pays tribute to what makes Aliens great could be fantastic and stand out.
I think the problem that developers (and publishers) continue to fall into with Aliens games, is the fact that Cameron's action set-pieces are the moments that stand out in the film. And with good reason, they're brilliant. So devs and publishers focus on recreating the feeling of those moments first and foremost. That's why every damn Aliens game has to have a loader battle with a Queen (or some other large alien). But the reason they have so much weight, and are so satisfying, is because he takes the time to set them up with mood and suspense.
You don't see an Alien for the first act of the movie. When they do attack it's have dozens of minutes of tension, with nothing but the beeping of the motion tracker in poorly-lit hallways. When they close in on the marines in the base, it's not a frontal assault, the fear comes from the fact taht everybody knows they're coming but they don't know where the hell they are or how they're getting in. By the time Cameron dials things up to 11 for the final act, the tension explodes into catharsis and we, the audience just want out. Just get me the fuck off this planet, I can't take it anymore!
THAT is the mood they should go for. The tension and suspense that builds into the big fire-fight, not one long, extended fire-fight. The awareness that they're out there, coming for you, but not knowing how many or where they're going to come from next.
Technology is also an issue. The aliens are scary partly because of how they look, but mostly because of how they behave. They're smart. They stalk, they flank, they communicate with each other and work together. That's what makes the notion of being trapped on a planet with hundreds of them terrifying, they're not some stupid animals. The AI needs to reflect that, and I'm not sure we're at the point where it can.
Aliens deserves a great game. If only because modern game design owes as much to James Cameron for Aliens as it does to Shigeru Miyamoto for Mario.Feb 15, 2013 12:41pm PSTThe mismanagement of Aliens: Colonial Marines is a crying shame. There's no doubt that the Aliens uni... : MHSilver

By: silentdante x Show Full PostI was wondering, on the Aliens:CM discussion, i would really love to hear everyones opinion on embargo's and how "games journalists" have an obligation or not to consumors to giving them the scoop or story about such a bad game.
i know people can wait for reviews to buy, but when lied to by demo's (supposedly) where does it fall on the journalists to break embargo or to go out of their way to warn consumors who have pre-ordered under false pretenses.
it's an interesting topic but i dont think any site could talk freely for fear of losing first looks demo's and other media from game companies. is games a place for a more consumor oriented investigative journalism before the fact instead of after the fact like the whole aliens thing.
i know a lot of games journo's tweeted ambigous warnings, but people like my buddy who works and doesn't pay attention as much, had pre-ordered aliens months back, and had no clue until it was to late and he had brought it home and began playing it.

By: hazeblaze777 x Show Full PostI loved Ni No Kuni. It is easily the best JRPG of this gen for me. However, my one major gripe with it is that it is VERY hand holdy. It is like a great rpg experience was wrapped into a children's/first time rpg'er experience.
I'm 32... I almost passed on the game b/c it looked to cartoony for me initially. Still, I didn't mind the presentation once I actually started playing and I found myself looking forward to progressing. But it would have been a more enjoyable experience if I was forced to discover the solution to some of the quests and environmental puzzles. In most cases, the game tells you what to do before it even gives you a chance to try. I thought the broken hearted quests were going to be really cool before I realized they were going to be spoon fed to me each time.
I'm not down on the game... like I said, it's my favorite JRPG this gen, and the only one to compel me to want to finish. Last gen I finished nearly every JRPG I played... so it is clearly one of the best for those that enjoy the genre. I just hope if there is a sequel, they will allow the gamer to discover solutions more on their own.Feb 16, 2013 3:03pm PSTI loved Ni No Kuni. It is easily the best JRPG of this gen for me.

By: hazeblaze777 x Show Full PostAs for the 'friend zone' comment, I would say dude needs to not let it phase him at all. I'm not sure how old he is... but eventually, you end up getting so much ass that it's hard to care about the ass you didn't get.
Plus, I had two different cut buddies who initially only wanted to be friends... one from high school ended up being one of my regular 'no strings attached' homegirls later on in college; one of my favorites actually. And one from college turned out to be one of my best friends who I was later able to share everything with... including what I'd wanted in the first place.
Love isn't love until it's returned just as freely as it's given... in the mean time, there are other girls out there whose tastes match what you have to offer, they're just waiting for you to find them. I went through a lot of girls in my youth, until my relationship of the last 4 yrs. You can't force love. When it's real, it'll be obvious.Feb 16, 2013 3:35pm PST
By: Atanatari165 x Show Full PostYES PLAY WORLD OF TANKS!!!
Garnett, Jeff, play world of tanks, its probably the best sim-style vehicular combat game ever made. Wargaming knows how to get past all the bells and whistles that fill up modern games and deliver on a pure gameplay level.
Let me explain the game for those who don't know, because until I got into it I thought it was WoW with tanks. Nothing could be further from reality. WoT is nothing more than a 15 minute tank battle with very simple objectives and no respawn. What makes it special is the complexity of the damage modeling and physics combined with the slow, realistic pace (and lack of silliness like jumping). The simplistic damage modeling in most games means that every enemy you fight is basically the same box with the only variable being the number of hitpoints. Not so in WoT. The exact armor layout of the tank you are shooting, the precise point on the armor you hit and the angle of your shot is critical for determining the damage you do. The result is a skill-based game that isn't all about reflexes and button-pressing.
Its actually more of a "stealth" game. You'll spend more time hiding in bushes in WoT than you ever have in any stealth game. It uses a sort of abstracted spotting system where enemies are either totally invisible (unspotted) or totally lit up and visible, even through walls (spotted). Much of the strategy revolves around spotting and hitting the enemy while remaining hidden and protected yourself. But its more more complex than simply hiding behind cover like in most games. You can safely expose parts of your armor if you get the angles right.
Maybe the most important thing is that I find the games much less repetitive rinse-and-repeat than your typical shooter like BF3, CoD, TF2, etc. The huge variety of tanks in the game, the endless number of positions and emergent situations you can get into, the excellent maps. I think the lack of respawns may be a big part of it feeling less repetitive. You are never in a situation where you are just dying and running back to the same spot over and over for 30 minutes, which seems to happen in every other multiplayer shooter.
Incidentally, Mechwarrior Online is basically the exact same game but with mechs. If anyone knows of any other similar games I'd like to hear about it.Feb 16, 2013 2:22pm PST
By: Videosta x Show Full PostIt seems to me like Nintendo's communication on the Wii U should be as easy as having a commercial like this:
Scene opens on the image of someone in a den playing a game on their TV using the Wii U tablet.
Sister/Wife/Mother walks in and says that their show is on.
Gamer says, "Sure thing," and then switches the gameplay to the pad only.
Sister/Wife/Mother puts on their show and sits down while gamer continues to play.
Roll Nintendo logo and end commercial.
On the games front, I have more than enough coming out for the next few months to keep me entertained. I have faith we will see more announcements. It seems like a pretty standard launch to me.
What worries me more is the press reaction to every new console these days. "It is dead on arrival." " Is the 'insert game console here' dead already?" Blah blah blah blah.
Look, I think the console business has changed, for sure. I think the days of anyone having a Wii-like success on day one are over. There is too much competition, the economy is bad, and console launches are always not the best time to buy a console. I think people have learned that waiting nets you cheaper consoles, more games to buy, and a richer community to play with.
To me, the PS3 price controversy and subsequent rapid drop in price was the beginning of the end of normal console launches. There was so much hype, hysteria, and prognostications of doom and gloom. Who wants to have to fight Ebay dealers buying consoles up just to sell them online for a greater profit? Not me!
I don't see myself getting on-board with the next Xbox and PlayStation until at least a year after they launch, maybe longer if they do not have a tablet remote like the Wii U. It has revolutionized my gaming time. While I know many people playing games aren't in the situation that makes Wii U the best device for gaming, but I am a father and a husband and only have a little time to game. This has allowed me to game more than I have in a long time.
I think all the people moaning about Wii U sales while hyping PS4 and Durango will be doing the same thing for those consoles sales-wise once they release. It is a sad thing, but just where the world is right now.Feb 16, 2013 6:32am PSTIt seems to me like Nintendo's communication on the Wii U should be as easy as having a commercial like t... : Videosta

Day 2 of the Winter Summit in Steamboat was spearheaded by Stanley Goldenberg. Stan is head of NOAA's Hurricane Research Division. He has flown 100 flights in a P3 hurricane hunter and continued his research in improving hurricane forecast and models.
The years of 1995-2005 have experienced the highest level of North Atlantic hurricane activity in the reliable record. Compared with the generally low activity of the previous 24 years (1971-1994), the last 11 years doubling of overall activity of the basin, a 2.5-fold increase in major hurricanes and a five fold increase in hurricanes affecting the Caribbean region. As for the increase in major hurricane activity, this is not implying the basin is seeing stronger hurricanes, but rather more of them. This is very similar to what we saw this past hurricane season with 19 named storms, but only 1 major hurricane and only 2 landfalling hurricanes in the lower 48.
The greater activity results from simultaneous increases in North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures and decreases in vertical wind shear which favors hurricane development and intensification.
An additional impact of the shift in activity has been a dramatic increase in October hurricanes (especially major hurricanes) activity. During the years of 1965-1994, there were only 2 major hurricanes that developed after the past couple of days of October. From 1995-2005, there have been 10 late season major hurricanes.
Of course one of the worst late season hurricanes was Sandy which collided with a cold front that caused this storm to basically explode and turn into a "sped-storm".
Not only is fire season getting longer, but so is hurricane season. More storm forming earlier, for example, in May. And some storms forming in late October and even November. The belief, according to Goldenberg, is due to climate variation. The earth has been getting warmer and with the polar ice caps melting, more fresh water is added into the ocean increasing water levels. This is just one of the many reasons why the storm surge was higher than normal for a catrgory 1 hurricane in Sandy.
The National Hurricane Center will release their forecast for the 2013 hurricane season in late May.

Hi Pinkcat! Welcome!
Count me in as impressed of those who go to school with kids and families. I did it the easy way...went directly after high school as a traditional student. I LOVED college...well the first two I didn't like quite as much but I just really loved the third one that I graduated from. An all women's Catholic college. Was there for 3.5 years and if I ever win the lottery, they are on my for sure donation list. I wish that I could have just kept going forever but my parents only gave me 5 years to finish. Took a year off to figure out what to do next....I knew I wanted to go to grad school but was not sure if I wanted to go for philosophy and get my phd or the masters of library science. For a while I also considered sociology. Obviously I went for the library science. I decided that philosophy was going to be too long and I didn't feel like learning to read ancient greek.....I really just wanted to go to school until I had kids and than be a SAHM. Philosophy prof jobs aren't easy to come by so DH didn't like that idea as well either. Now I have found that I really like working and still plan on a kid but not being a SAHM.
But yeah I had it pretty easy as a student. I basically worked part-time....usually 12-16 hours a week on work study. I did some time in the day care center until the director changed and after worked in the library....where I could do homework if it was quite and the shelving was caught up. My dorm room was not huge so easy enough to keep clean. And DH was a student so often when he came over, we would do homework together.
Grad school was part-time and I worked full-time but DH really did a lot of the housework if I was in school that semester and we didn't have any kids to take care of....just Cosmo.

Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this 72-oz. drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin. The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning. The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the 2 1/4" H reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often--a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection. A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. Filter lasts up to 30 days. Plugs into AC. 14" L x 11 1/2" W x 6 1/4" H. (7 lbs.)

Very pleased with fountain and service
By Les Chats
from Akron, OH
I have this water fountain which my 4 cats love! I have enjoyed the water fountain for about 4 years with no problems until this morning. The fountain is not holding water but there does not appear to be a hole in it.I contacted the customer service rep who found my order. I will ship it back to them and they are going to replace it. I think this is fantastic! My cats will be disappointed for the next couple of days as they are not accustomed to drinking from a bowl.This is a gret product and the customer service exceeded my expectations.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Cat Fountain Ever
By Cat Lady
from Austin, TX
Over the years I have used about every brand cat fountain made. This will definitely be the last model I try because it's perfect - stylish, sturdy, easy to use. All my cats took to it right away but the true test was a finicky cat who doesn't much like fountains of any sort.

My 5 cats LOVE thsi product, I removed the actual bowl at top so it is a stream upward of water, but the pump went out within a few months. The one thing that I love about purchases from H&S is that its a lifetime guarantee, there were no issues returning and getting new one! I have made many purchases with H&S and I am pleased with all of them.

Problems with motor
By Sue
from Coleman, Mi.
My cats love this watering system. The biggest problem is the little motor. I've had to have it replaced 3 or more times. I wish that a motor could be sent instead of packing up the whole thing to send back when all that's needed is the motor. I do recommend this watering bowl inspite of the problems I've had.

Ceramic Pet Fountain, great unit...but
By Yikes, 4 cats!
from Phoenix
We have very hard water in AZ. Unit gets slimy and needs cleaning weekly which is ok, but I would like to be able to buy an extra pump, rubber feet and rubber pump connector. Also, recommendations for pump cleaning would be helpful.

"Impervious to cat dismantling"!
By Spritey
from Powell, Ohio
After much research and the desire to deter the engineer cat that completely and repeatedly dismantled the other fountain even after adding Velcro. I purchased this fountain and issue solved. It is a breeze to assemble and clean and fits three cats around it. Well worth the money and time not spent on reassembling. :)
Great Product
By b&j
from Sidney, BC Canada
We've had other cat fountains and the biggest problem was cleaning, lots of little corners and crevices that were hard to get clean. This fountain is smooth, ceramic and easy to keep clean sparkling water for our cat. Excellent service.
Real Good Fountain
By Bobby
from Brooks, Alberta, Canada
The instructions for how to clkean and change filter were used to assemble. In other words first assembly instructions were lacking something!
Water fountain and service are excellent
I have owned this fountain for 3-4 years without any issues, except general cleaning and maintenance, until this morning. The fountain is not holding water but there is not a hole and it is solid so I know the cats did not spill the water.I have contacted the service department, spoke with a customer service rep. very promptly who located my original order. I am going to ship this unit back and they will return a new one to me.My cats will be disappointed for a few days as they are not accustomed to drinking from a bowl.

The R&D department at Swix Sport AS is responsible for the development of new and innovative products within all our product categories. The R&D department works in close contact with the category product managers.
Our area of interest can be divided in three groups, chemistry technology, composites and soft composites.
The R&D work within chemistry technology is concentrated on "friction management". The work within this area is concentrated upon general studies of the friction system snow – ski- atmosphere. General material science studies are performed with respect to fluorine materials, waxes, resins and ski base technology.
The objective of our ski pole research is to find techniques both within composite and metallurgical materials in order to get lighter, stronger and stiffer poles. Our soft composites which we make use of in our apparel line is a result of our efforts in finding the best available materials and merge them into a functional apparel with an appealing design.
The overall objective of our work is to create products that enhance the positive experience of snow when skiing and boarding.
The R&D department also publishes Tech Notes on relevant subjects. The meaning with the Tech Notes is to present a more in depth information on how our products work.
The R&D department is working close with our Racing Service team when our new developments are tested.

Rainey isn't going to be our goal line RB. Gzzzzz
The Steeler way...is the only way.
Without key blocking no one is...
"Happy Happy Happy"
I'd have a better chance being the goal line back than Rainey. He weighs in at about 178 lbs. Maybe he takes a toss and races everyone to the pylon, but that's about it.
Thin at RB again, may need to bring some bodies in. Clay hurt now.

This "where are they now?" segment brought to you by Big
Chief Chewing Tobacco. If you're looking
for Tom Guiry, Scotty Smalls from the movie "The Sandlot," and you can't seem
to find him, you're not looking anywhere.
Guiry's face…err mug shot…is plastered all over the internet, following
his arrest for felony assault of a public servant. And he looks basically the same, save a few
wrinkles around the eyes and seeming botox lips. Seriously, what's with those lips?
HERE are all the details of his arrest, and his photo. I guess it's bad to show up hammered for a flight and then resist, threaten officers, attempt to kick an officer in the face, then connect on a head-butt to an officer's face. Who knew?
I'm certain the potential maximum penalty for Guiry's actions will fall short of this…but how great would it be if the judge, at sentencing, busted out this clip? "Mr. Guiry, you are hereto sentenced to pay a fine of $15,000 and serve a jail term of…"
