Awareness of big ideas in mathematics and mathematics education – the motivation for the project
Providing good learning opportunities in the mathematics classroom is essential for instructional quality and the development of competencies of students. In particular, the development of teachers' awareness of big ideas in mathematics is a goal shared by the aims of national standards in many European countries. By using mathematical 'big ideas' in the classroom, we are referring to such notions as: proof and argumentation; multiple representations; infinity; modelling; and randomness and inference.
Moreover, in addition to big ideas linked to mathematics itself, ABCmaths includes a focus on big ideas of mathematics teaching. This takes into account the special situation of mathematics classrooms, in which mathematical practices are linked to learning and the orchestration of learning opportunities by teachers.
A crucial base for knowledge about big mathematical ideas and big ideas for mathematics instruction, i.e. overarching concepts that facilitate the creation of rich learning opportunities in classrooms, is mathematical content knowledge and corresponding so-called pedagogical content knowledge. However, in many countries sufficiently deep content knowledge in mathematics is not made available in pre-service teacher training, and in-service learning of teachers is often inhibited by the everyday constraints of the workplace on the one hand and the inertia of established individual classroom routines on the other.

No stuffiness, just latches and drifts off to sleep, then screams when I take her off to burp and switch...
Ok!!! Saw the IBCLC last night and she put all of what's going on into perspective, good and bad (hindsight). LO is supposed to be over 8 lbs right now, she's 7 lb 3 oz Didn't realize how far behind she actually was until last night, at least 4 oz a week "normal gain", she's almost 10 weeks and only up 17 oz. Got an SNS feed assistant to supplement formula while breastfeeding, will start Fenugreek 3 caps 3x/day since obviously I'm not making enough, and that's why she falls asleep on the breast, either fall asleep or cry when she's hungry and not getting enough. It's like I finally had the "aha" moment and realized that I'm not failing her with my milk issues, that's part of life sometimes, but I was failing her by refusing to supplement, believing it would make me a failure as a mother. Now that I see how much catching up she has to do, I will definitely be supplementing until I'm able to pump 3-4oz from both sides in one session, just so I know I have a good supply. Thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement! I hope this post will help other new mothers!!
I am so glad you got professional help and now have a plan for going forward! Yes certainly sometimes supplements are very much needed and will actually make continuing to breastfeed possible.
I would suggest to consider not going only by pump output to determine if you make 'enough,' for various reasons but especially since you will be using an sns to supplement, and not exclusively bottle feeding. This means baby will be getting some milk directly from the breast! Even mothers with entirely normal production who are separated from baby and pumping at work often have trouple pumping as much as 4 ounces at a time. I assume you are using a "hospital grade" pump? Anyway, Check with your IBCLC on the ways you can tell that you can start the process of weaning off supplements. I strongly urge you to keep following up with your IBCLC during this process.
Since you have determined the issue is low milk production, I also suggest the book Making More Milk , which is inexpensive and written for mothers but very informative.
I am using the Medela Freestyle pump, and now that I assume LO will be sleeping for more than 10 minutes at a time, with a full belly for sure now, I think I can pump and store more for when I do leave her, and to use breast milk instead of formula in the SNS. I will take her in for a weight check next Friday and hope she gains toward 7 ounces between last night and then, the higher end of the "average", since she's being supplemented.
And I was told last night, but didn't write it down, how long can I use the same formula in the SNS before I need to empty, wash, and refill it? I start out with 2 ounces since that's how much a scoop of powder formula will make.

Janelle Monae - THE ARCHANDROID Ottawa Jazz Festival 2012
|Janelle Monae's "God Is Love" painted during "Mushroom & Roses" Ottawa Jazz Festival June 21 - July 1, 2012
|Janelle Monae Ottawa Jazz Festival
Janelle Monae wrote the fan favorite "Cold War" about her struggles as an African American female starting her career in music in hometown Atlanta. She dedicated the song to everyone, no matter what color, how they dress or who they love. The entire crowd was on their feet dancing to "Cold War." One of Janelle Monae's fan said her performance was "hype". Another new fan described her show an "Unbelievable". A mature woman said "She is wired. Don't ask her to go to sleep for another five hours."
Janelle Monae gave love to her fans at the Ottawa Jazz Festival and they returned the love. She had the audience out of their seats dancing, singing call and response to a jazz scat, and getting low and quiet during a "Tightrope" dance final. Janelle Monae commanded the audience from her electrifying entrance on stage.

Jazz n BBQ in Ottawa - "Be Prepared To Be Blown Away"
Two of my favorite Ottawa festivals are the Ottawa Ribfest on Sparks Street and the Ottawa Jazz Festival. The Ottawa Ribfest on Sparks Street hosts teams from the United States and Canada who compete the top rank of rib choice, best rib sauce, best chicken choice and best chicken sauce. This rib and chicken barbecue cookoff is a feasting frenzy for lip smacking good barbecue. This international chicken and rib cookoff event occurs in June and leads up to the Ottawa Jazz Festival. It is a week long music festival which features jazz and other music genres. Some of the entertains that I enjoyed at the Ottawa Jazz Festival 2012 were Janelle Monae; Arturo O'Farill and the Latin Jazz Orchestra; Dave Holland, Kevin Eubank, Craig Taborn, Eric Harland - PRISM; Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue; Allen Toussaint; and the Soul Rebels.
Although the Montreal Jazz Festival is the largest North American Festival. This is a not to be missed jazz festival. The Ottawa Jazz Festival is a smaller and more intimate jazz festival with big name entertainment.
Ottawa is located in Ontario Canada which just across the U.S. border. It is the second largest city in Canada.
Getting There:
It is about seven hours drivng distance from Boston, New York City and Philadephia. American Airlines flies to Ottawa Ontario Canada daily. A passport is required.
The Ottawa Ribfest is an outdoor street with vendors selling ribs, chicken and sauces so Canadian Dollars are accepted. Visit www.ottawafestivals.ca for current dates and more information.
The Ottawa Jazz Festival offers passes so you can attend for the day or week. There are also jazz jams at the hotels which allow you a more intimate listening experience. Plan on attending the late night jazz jams in the tent across the street from the festival grounds. You can purchase passes online at www.ottawajazzfestival.com.
Ottawa is a great walking city for tourists with museums, markets, monuments, shopping, dining, nature, and adventure waiting for you to experience. For this reason it is one of my favorite cities to visit in Canada. Everything is accessible. It has a European flair so Americans can feel like they are visiting another country. Many Americans tend to think that Canada is just like the United States. If you visit Ottawa the experience is more of a French flavor. English and French are both spoken in Ottawa so need to worry about a language barrier.
Travel Tip:
If you plan on attending the Ottawa Ribfest and Ottawa Jazz Festival book your hotel early. The city of Ottawa is full of tourist to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. Canada Day is comparable to the July 4th holiday in the United States.
Have you added Ottawa Jazz Festival to your travel plans?

You've been awarded a square knot. Congratulations! Now what?
If you've been honored with one of the 34 square knots currently available (see the full list below), waste no time in sewing that badge of honor to your uniform. Though they don't tell the whole story of a Scouter's impact, these tiny rectangles provide great evidence of a volunteer's efforts.
But before you dust off the sewing machine, read these tips:
Location, location, location: Knots should go over the left pocket, as seen from the wearer's perspective. Line them up in rows of three in any order you choose. Typically, the knot you deem most important is worn on the bottom row on your right, but that's your call. If your knot total isn't divisible by three — aka you have a row of one or two knots — you can either center them in the row or keep them aligned to your right. The latter method means you won't have to re-sew those knots if you get a new one.
Count to nine: If you've been a Scouter for some time, those knots could really stack up. How high they go above your pocket is up to you, but the BSA recommends wearing no more than nine — or three rows of three.
Don't flip out: Yes, square knots have a right-side-up. The chart above explains the process of determining which end goes where. This can be tricky on single-color knots, but if you squint really hard you can tell which loop on the knot is above the other.
Which knot is which?: Let's hope you can identify the knots on your own uniform, but it's likely you'll see a knot or two out in the field that you don't recognize. Here's a handy chart (click to enlarge):

Followed it up with a 36.8 and a 37.3 loop at hard tempo. So a nice 3x20 today.
Hopefully adding in a skin suit / 80mm front / disc rear / aero lid and fresher legs than I had today will give me 42km's per hour... plus another months training to give me the 44 I really want!.
I should assume this was on a TT bike? Nice effort for a rolling course.

Another 4th of July in Reinbeck is over, and I have to admit we didn't take in as much as we usually do, the heat was just too much. Summer seems to be too much. I don't know if it was the heat or not, but I had the summer flu this last weekend and I'm still fighting the dizziness and blah feeling. I even had to miss my class reunion, something I always go to, but I was going no where. These hot days have been pretty bad for a lot of us. It's just too darn hot and for some reason I've been miserable, sweaty and cranky most of the time. I know the dog days of summer are really here.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, summer is sizzling at it's most intense right now. However, today a front went through and I would call it just a nice summer day, but it still is dog days. The term dog days comes from the ancient Romans, who called these hot and humid days, days of the dogs after the star Sirius, or greater dog. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. In fact it is so bright that it once was thought it produced heat in the summer, but not true, but Sirius rises and sets with the sun, beginning in July. So therefore - Dog Days. The heat comes by our proximity to the sun. Earth is actually furthest away from the sun in the summer. We have our hot weather in July because of the tilt of its axis in relation to the sun, we are blasted by a direct hit of fiery heat. The entire planet is heating up right now, literally. Is it really global warming. On that I'm no expert, but I do know it can get pretty darn hot.
So far it has been a hot summer, but most of us in the midwest are more concerned about the lack of rain. About 50 percent of the corn producing area in the midwest is running short in rainfall. The problem is that the plants are entering their pollination phase; the time when the corn silks are pollinated and begin to grow healthy kernels. Without water the corn doesn't fill out completely and you can lose several bushels an acre per day. The hot weather we can take, but the lack of rain is very critical.
If your house has been like mine, very little cooking, or baking is going on. Something we especially like are salads and cool drinks. Linda Rickert gave me a delicious pasta salad. However, when I received her recipes our daughter was sorting out her recipes and filing those she wanted to take with her to their move to Germany. I found out a few days ago that recipe is now at her home in Germany. However, I will get it again and print it next week.
This slush recipe is cool and refreshing and kids love it.
1 cup water
1/2 cup sweetened Kool-
Aid drink mix
3 cups ice
1. Place 1 cup water, 1/2 cup of your favorite flavor of kool-aid and 1 cup ice cubes in a blender-cover
2. Blend on high speed until smooth. Add additional 2 cups ice cubes- cover and blend until smooth.
3. Serve immediately. Store left-overs in the freezer
4. Makes 7 (1/2 cup" servings

MADRID (AP) — The European Court of Justice is hearing a case that pits Spain's data protection agency against search engine giant Google over the thorny issue of "the right to be forgotten" online.
A Spanish court sought Tuesday's hearing in Luxembourg to clarify if Google is subject to Spanish and European data protection laws.
In the case — one of many between Spain and Google — a person found that keying their name into Google shows a newspaper link to a property auction years ago owing to payment failure. The person wants the link removed, which the agency says Google should do. Google believes that's the newspaper's responsibility.
A ruling isn't expected for months.
If it goes in Spain's favor, Google could be made to erase documents people feel violate their privacy.

Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports former Carolina Panthers WR Patrick Jeffers will need to decide if he wants to continue his legal battle against the team after an NFL arbitrator ruled that the case does not belong in a courtroom. Two days after the March 25 arbitration ruling, Jeffers' claims against the Panthers were dismissed with prejudice. Jeffers accused former team physician Dr. Donald D'Alessandro of malpractice and negligence during an Aug. 2000 surgery and said the team was negligent in retaining the doctor because they knew he had a propensity to perform operations that exceeded the inform consent given by Carolina players.

|Panthers | Police and courts: P. Jeffers
Wed, 26 Apr 2006 06:02:14 -0700
Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports former Carolina Panthers WR Patrick Jeffers has voluntarily dismissed his medical malpractice claims against a former team physician, but his attorney said he plans to re-file the lawsuit within a year. The dismissal was filed "for technical, legal and procedural reasons." Jeffers filed a dismissal without prejudice, which gives him a year to re-file under court rules. The portion of the original lawsuit filed against the Panthers was not dismissed. That part will be heard by an NFL arbitrator, but has been put on hold by Jeffers. Jeffers claimed in the original lawsuit that his career was "destroyed" by an August 2000 knee surgery in which Dr. Donald D'Alessandro went beyond the bounds of the informed consent given. D'Alessandro and the Miller Clinic, which has since merged and been re-named OrthoCarolina, filed court papers denying Jeffers' claims.

|Panthers | Police and Courts: Jeffers
Sat, 21 May 2005 07:34:09 -0700
Charles Chandler, reports for the Charlotte Observer, former Carolina Panthers WR Patrick Jeffers and his attorneys are turning to the North Carolina Supreme Court in an effort to get their case against the Panthers' former team doctor to court. They asked the Supreme Court to review the N.C. Court of Appeals decision last month to dismiss an appeal by Jeffers, saying the matter has "significant public interest." A lower court ruled Jeffers had to arbitrate the part of the case that pertains to the team, according to the grievance provisions of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Jeffers' petition to the state Supreme Court said the player's complaints against the Panthers are not covered by the CBA.

|Panthers | Jeffers Appealing Judge's Ruling, Wants Case Heard In Court
Fri, 07 May 2004 15:49:47 -0700
The Charlotte Observer reports former NFL WR Patrick Jeffers is appealing a judge's ruling in an attempt to have his case against the Carolina Panthers heard in court, as opposed to the NFL's grievance and arbitration system. Court papers filed by Jeffers' attorneys said the arbitration method provided by the NFL collective bargaining agreement does not allow them to acquire discovery documents, depositions and other evidence necessary to prepare their case. Jeffers' suit alleges that former Panthers orthopedist Dr. Donald D'Alessandro performed five unauthorized surgical procedures on Jeffers' knees during an August 2000 surgery that led to the end of his NFL career.

|NFL | Police & Courts: Patrick Jeffers
Wed, 07 Apr 2004 12:13:52 -0700
Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports a judge has ruled that if former NFL WR Patrick Jeffers pursues any action against the Carolina Panthers, he must do so via the NFL's grievance system rather than in court. Jeffers included the Panthers in a lawsuit he filed in Aug. 2003 against former Panthers' orthopedist Dr. Donald D'Alessandro and the Miller Orthopaedic Clinic. The Panthers filed a motion to require Jeffers to stand by the NFL collective-bargaining agreement, which says that player disputes with a team generally should be handled as a grievance before an arbitrator. Jeffers' attorney argued that the CBA didn't apply to the case. Jeffers' suit alleged that D'Alessandro performed five unauthorized surgical procedures on his knees during an August 2000 surgery that led to the premature end of his NFL career. D'Alessandro denied the allegations in court papers, saying he had appropriate authorization for all procedures performed on Jeffers.

|Panthers | Foster to Have Microfracture Surgery
Thu, 31 Oct 2002 09:57:02 -0800
Steve Reed reports for the Gaston Gazette that Carolina Panthers rookie RB DeShaun Foster (knee), who is out for the remainder of the year, has decided to undergo microfracture surgery on his left knee after seeking a second opinion. Foster had surgery before the season after a piece of cartilage had torn off under his kneecap. The scar tissue never formed after the surgery so Foster continued to have pain and swelling in the knee when he ran. The team doesnt believe it compares to the same surgery WR Patrick Jeffers had in 2000. Hell likely have the surgery in the next few weeks.

The hacker or hackers who claim to have broken into Democratic Party systems released more documents Tuesday, including what appeared to be the personal cell phone of vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, NBC News.
"Guccifer 2.0" on Tuesday released over 670 megabytes of documents at a cybersecurity conference in London, NBC News reported.
The work cell phone numbers, personal email addresses and personal cell phone numbers of top Obama White House officials were also included in the cache.
Tim Kaine's title on the spreadsheet of contacts is "Chairman's Office" — which might mean that the document was created from 2009 to 2011, when Kaine was with the Democratic National Committee.
The DNC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, U.S. intelligence officials and other experts suspect Russian involvement.

Best Kids Parties: Minnie Mouse
Name: Kate, 4
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
For Kate's 4th birthday, she picked the theme and I ran with it from there-Minnie Mouse! She's a girly girl, so we went with lots of pink and lots of detail right down to her outfit.The invitations were from Birthday in a Box; they have lots of themes to choose from and they will customize items for a great price! Decorations were all hand made with items we bought from Hobby Lobby. We created a fun dessert table (all homemade sweets since mom is a pastry chef) complete with "Minnie" Oreo pops, cupcakes, strawberry meringues, shortbread "bow" cookies and a Minnie Mouse birthday cake. All the Minnie Mouse cutouts were purchased from Etsy and added that extra little detail to the tables to bring it all together. We set up a coloring table for the kids and each guests left with a goody bag full of Minnie Mouse items and a polka dot balloon. It was a great party!
Thanks, Erin!

Hayden Competition - WIN a Custom MoFo Amplifier
Dolphin MusicHayden MoFo Competition
Like the truly classic guitar amps in history, each model in the Hayden range sets out to do a job and do it properly. From the moment you plug in, a Hayden makes its presence felt with a strong and unmistakable core tone that remains intact no matter how hard the amplifier is driven.
Drawing on the classic valve amp designs of the past, Hayden adds just the features a modern guitarist needs like valve switching, pick-up matching and the greater reliability that comes through refined circuit design, and leaves out the superfluous gimmicks that often stand in the way of great tone.
And through the careful combination of custom-wound transformers, defence-standard components and elegant signal topology, Hayden delivers a performance experience in which the player feels unusually 'connected' to the sound, and the volume control on the guitar is all that's needed to move from clean through to crunch and overdriven sounds.
Hayden amps are hand-wired in England by specialists with years of experience in defence-standard work.
Uncompromising specifications include non-ferrous stainless steel chassis construction, hand-machined gold turret tags, ceramic valve bases, engraved front panels and marine quality birch ply cabinets. Yet despite a decidedly boutique approach, Hayden amps are priced within range of the working guitarist.
So the question isn't do you need a Hayden amp, it's which Hayden amp do you need?
At Dolphin Music we are offering you the chance to win a Hayden MoFo 30, hand built by legend Dave Green who has previously tuned amps for the likes of Oasis, and has recently built amps for Eagles of Death Metal, Carl Barat (Libertines) and Biffy Clyro.
As an exclusive DOLPHIN ONLY offer, the prize winner will also be invited down to the Hayden Custom shop in Essex*. The will not only be able to see the amp being finished, they will also be able to test the amp with Green, and then have the overall sound of the amp (level of gain etc) tweaked to how they want it, resulting in:
A custom built, one-off sounding MoFo specifically tuned to you.
Dave Green is Hayden's Chief Designer/Engineer and has been building quality amps for over 20 years.
* Please note prize does not contain travel or accommodation. Date for visit can be mutually agreed, but must be redeemed before January 1st 2011.
The Hayden MoFo, is an all-valve guitar amp with a whole lot of attitude. But unlike other mini guitar amp heads, the MoFo is definitely not a one trick pony. From stunning bell like clean tones with real depth to plexi-esque classic rock crunch, right up to full on metal mayhem, the 30 watt MoFo head does it all.
With four cascaded gain stages and a foot switchable MoFo mode for even more gain, the MoFo does it all from classic clean tones through plexi-esque classic rock crunch to full metal mayhem.
And the versatility doesn't stop with the sounds.
There's 30 Watts of power, courtesy of 4 x EL84 valves. And with both 8 and 16 Ohm speaker outputs, the MoFo can drive a wide range of cabinets from a boutique 1x12 in the studio right up to a 4x12 on the concert stage.
Separate UK and US-voiced instrument inputs shape the signal for classic British or thinner, higher-gain US tones respectively, and a simple series FX loop allows you connect your favourite stomp boxes.
And when you're rehearsing, you'll love the Stealth switch underneath the amp which lets your MoFo scream, without the neighbours screaming at you.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: May 4, 2005
Violence, Vandalism Down Slightly at New Jersey Schools
More than two thirds of the schools in New Jersey (69 percent) reported five or fewer incidents of violence, vandalism or substance abuse during the 2003-2004 school year, with one school in three (34 percent) reporting no incidents at all, according to an annual report released today by the state Department of Education.
The report, which is required by statute, is compiled from data that DOE collects from schools through the Electronic Violence and Vandalism Reporting System (EVVRS) and is submitted to the Education Committees of the Legislature.
It provides detailed information on a wide range of incidents, from fighting, trespassing, theft and fireworks possession to major behavioral problems such as assault, extortion, and possession of firearms and drugs at New Jerseys approximately 2,400 public and charter schools.
"This report shows that the overwhelming majority of our schools are safe places where teachers can teach and children can learn," said Acting Governor Richard J. Codey.
The total number of incidents reported by school districts was 20,207, down 1,979 (nine percent) from the 22,186 incidents reported in 2002-2003. Only 10 percent of the schools reported 25 or more incidents, down from 12 percent the year before.
Instances of violence declined by five percent while the number of incidents involving weapons increased by nine percent, from 1,396 to 1,525, accounted for principally by increases in the number of incidents involving the possession of knives, air guns and imitation guns. The number of incidents of vandalism and substance abuse remained relatively unchanged.
However, Assistant Commissioner for Student Services Isaac Bryant, whose division prepared the report, advised that direct year-to-year statistical comparisons between the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 must be interpreted with caution because of changes in the types of incidents reported and the manner in which they are reported.
"Some of the incident definitions changed in 2003-2004, and three new types of violent incidents were added to the EVVRS," he said.
"Also during this period, DOE conducted many training sessions for the people in the districts who do the actual reporting of incidents to the state. A number of district officials realized that they were interpreting the definitions either too loosely or too tightly and adjusted their reporting standards accordingly after receiving the training. In fact, 63 percent of the decrease in the total number of incidents reported statewide occurred in two districts," Assistant Commissioner Bryant said.
The report also describes the many programs and initiatives that DOE, the Attorney Generals Office, other state agencies, education organizations and the districts and schools themselves have undertaken or plan to undertake to foster safety within the schools, including the promotion of student health and character education.
"New Jersey has aggressively pursued a variety of policy and program strategies to address the problems of disruption and violence in the schools since the beginning of the Safe Schools Initiative in 1994," said Commissioner of Education William L. Librera. "We work with the school districts to foster safety at all points of the continuum, from prevention, through crises response to recovery."
Recent initiatives have included:
New Jersey students have also benefited from numerous grant programs, conferences, seminars, publications and partnerships with institutions of higher education, including the Positive Student Discipline Reform Demonstration Project with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.

First rifle
I'm buying my first rifle. I'm not new to guns I've grown up around guns and I know how to shoot and hunt. I've been doing it sence I was 6 but I'm buying MY first rifle. I've chosen the ruger 10/22.
I'm wondering what I will need. Obviously I need the ruger ammo and a scope but I feel like I'm missing sooooo much. I need a good gun cleaning kit. Is there a good one I could get from walmart?
I'm wanting pistol grips is there any chance I could find a decent stock with pistol grips on it on amazon or cheaper than dirt for under $60? If you know o one will you post a link

Ruger doesn't make ammo, and unless you really want it I'd skip the scope as well and use iron sights.

I would suggest a case of some sort to store it in and maybe some extra magazines. If you buy extra magazines I would recommend factory mags for reliability sake. I have heard the Ruger 25 round mag is good if you want higher capacity for plinking. I have a couple of Butler Creek 25 round mags. One only works if loaded to a max of 20 rounds. The Ruger mags are a little more expensive, but probably worth it. For hunting I would carry one or two extra 10 round mags. I have a scope on mine and like it for smaller targets (3/4" @ 50 yds).
This is my gun. There are many like her, but this one is mine.
I'm not old. I'm CLASSIC!

Stocks , I have the butler creek one in stainless
If you get any 25 round mags make sure you buy the ones made by Ruger they are by far the best
Any cleaning kit should work fine . Just make sure it is made for the smaller calibers or the rod will not fit down the barrel
Not sure how much your looking to spend on a scope but here is a couple lower cost ones . For a 22 I recommend you get a scope with an Adjustable Objective.
Tolerate- allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something that one does not necessarily like or agree with , without interference.
If you have some time IMO this is worth a listen/watch but it takes a few minutes to really get going .

I'm in the process of fitting up a 10/22 right now also. Just picked up a std barrel SS models with a synthetic stock. So far my fit-up includes: a picatinny style raised see-through scope mount (about $11 on Amazon) which allows me to still use my iron sights; a Tasco 3x9 x 40 scope for $37 (from Walmart which seems bright and clear); and 1 (so far) BX 25 extended magazine.
I plan to upgrade the stock at some point because I want a sling, but probably won't start with a pistol grip (though you never know).
For a stock you might also look at Ebay. They always have several listed, some pretty cheap.

Don't store it in a case. The foam can trap moisture and rust it. Invest in a gun safe. For mags, I like the Ruger BX-25s. They hold 25 rounds and have functioned perfectly for me. For ammo, I like the Federal AutoMatch. Bulk ammo that's cheap but has great accuracy. It will take a little time to figure out what your rifle likes. My 10/22 doesn't wear a scope. I shoot irons with it. I have a scoped bolt rifle I use for very good rimfire accuracy. The 10/22 is a whole lot of fun.

These rifles are awesome (i have 6 lol). If you get really curious, check out rimfirecentral.com and they have sub-forums for just the 10/22 in all kinds of configurations. As for ammo, I like CCI STD velocity target. Reasonable for target ammo. Mags, any actual Ruger mag is your best bet. I've got 4 of the BX-25's and have had 0 issues with them. And don't knock the overall accuracy of these rifles in stock configuration. If you can't decide on first mods, take it to the range with the open sights and shoot it. Shoot it, enjoy it, then decide on mods. I've got one from the outside, it looks completely stock. Internals are no where near stock. It has KIDD trigger setup, firing pin, and extractor. Were these necessary? Nope!! Fair warning, once you start modifying these little rifles you won't want to stop lol.

As for the gun itself, just get good with irons. That's all you need. Maybe you want a scope for whatever reason later, and that's fine, but get good with irons.
As for a cleaning kit, all you really need is some q-tips, an old shirt, and a dental tool is a good start. Pick up some patches and a cleaning rod or a bore snake for the barrel and some good oil (Break-Free, CLP, etc) and you'll be good to go.
Maybe, down the line, you'll want to pick up a range bag to haul mags, ammo, targets, a Gerber (hint hint) and whatever else you want to take on range days.
Good equipment will never be a substitute for good training.

Dollar Rally
The dollar climbed to the highest level against the euro in almost three months after Italian elections this week delivered a four-way parliamentary split. The U.S. currency rose above $1.50 against the pound for the first time since July 2010. A stronger dollar curbs the appeal of raw materials to investors.
"We're seeing a lot of flight into the dollar since the Italian election," Kilduff said. "The pound broke through $1.50 today, which is a very important level."
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 commodities fell as much as 1.3% to 640.03, the lowest level since Dec. 31.
Output by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries climbed as a gain by Libya outweighed a cut by Saudi Arabia, the Bloomberg survey showed. Libyan daily production increased by 130,000 barrels to 1.24 million last month, the biggest gain of any member, after the reopening of the country's Zueitina export terminal early in February.
Saudi Production
Saudi Arabia, OPEC's biggest producer, pumped 9 million barrels a day, the least since May 2011, according to the survey. Output was down 100,000 barrels from January and 900,000 barrels from May, when production reached the highest since at least January 1989.
"We're seeing oil be more conservatively priced, but we still aren't at fair value," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York. "The fundamentals support a price in the $80-to-$85 area."
U.S. crude inventories increased 1.13 million barrels to 377.5 million last week, the highest level since July, a Feb. 27 Energy Information Administration report showed. Output climbed to 7.12 million barrels a day in the week ended Feb. 15, the most since August 1992.
"The fundamentals didn't justify the high level of oil prices," said Julius Walker, global energy markets strategist at UBS Securities LLC in New York. "The fundamentals are reasserting themselves."
Market 'Length'
Net-long positions in West Texas Intermediate oil held by money managers, or wagers on rising prices, climbed to 221,534 in the week ended Feb. 15, the highest level since March 2012, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Commitments of Traders report.
"One has to remember that there was an awful lot of length in the market," Evans said. "We're seeing massive reversal now, which is putting pressure on futures."
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 453,728 contracts as of 2:37 p.m. It totaled 455,826 contracts yesterday, 14% below the three-month average. Open interest was 1.66 million contracts.

SAN ANDREAS - A man riding a stolen Harley-Davidson motorcycle was arrested Thursday night in Sacramento and is being held for questioning in this week's slaying of a man whose body was found Tuesday in his home near West Point.
SAN ANDREAS - A man riding a stolen Harley-Davidson motorcycle was arrested Thursday night in Sacramento and is being held for questioning in this week's slaying of a man whose body was found Tuesday in his home near West Point.
The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office on Friday morning confirmed that the dead man was Norman Gresham III, who was found bleeding in his home in the 200 block of Stanley Road. Otherwise, investigators said little about the case and continued to withhold the identity of a woman who was found bleeding at the Stanley Road home. She was hospitalized and apparently survived.
Gary McMahan, 31, was wanted as a "person of interest" in the case, according to Calaveras authorities.
On Wednesday, the Sheriff's Office asked the public's help in locating McMahan, who was also wanted for arrest on two felony warrants from other jurisdictions. The next day, they got that help.
At 6:40 p.m. Thursday, Calaveras investigators called the Lodi Police Department.
"Calaveras County gives us a call and indicates their suspect Gary McMahan was potentially in our city, gave us the license plate of the stolen Harley-Davidson he was believed to be in possession of," Lodi police Sgt. Tim Fritz said.
About 7 p.m., officers saw the motorcycle near Pine and Hutchins streets and tried to stop it. The rider fled.
"The rider of that motorcycle led us on a pursuit east to (Highway) 99 and then northbound on 99 to the Sacramento city limits, with speeds reaching 95, 100 miles an hour at maximum, but typically around 85," Fritz said.
When the chase neared Sacramento, the California Highway Patrol took over, Fritz said. The CHP reported that it took McMahan into custody after he stopped on a crowded section of Highway 50.
Calaveras authorities have been tight-lipped on the case so as to not compromise the ongoing investigation, Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Chris Hewitt said.
The unanswered questions though have sparked speculation and rumors in West Point, where Gresham frequented a pizza parlor and gas station.
Hewitt said he could at least put to rest one of those rumors - that the injured woman was an ex-wife of McMahan. She is not, Hewitt said in an email. He also said that the woman's condition is stable but that he could not disclose the nature of her injuries.
Gresham's father, Norman Gresham Jr., was quoted in the Sonora Union Democrat as saying he had been told by authorities that his son was shot in the head.
Hewitt declined to comment.
Reached by phone at his home in Folsom, Norman Gresham Jr. declined an additional interview.
"The police have asked us not to speak with any reporter on this," Gresham said.
The address sign outside of the home of Norman Gresham III indicated it was occupied by "Norm and Belle" Gresham. West Point residents said Belle was the name of his dog.
Residents also reported seeing Gresham working regularly as a ranch hand on property owned by his landlord.
According to Calaveras County property records, the home Gresham occupied on Stanley Road was purchased in April 2012 by Phyllis Furia of Rail Road Flat. That purchase date coincides with the time Gresham reportedly moved into the home.
Attempts to reach Furia for comment were unsuccessful.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyGrey seals feed on a wide range of fish species, and also take crustaceans, cephalopods and the occasional seabird. When feeding they can dive to depths of 30 to 70 metres (3). In autumn females congregate at traditional pupping sites, called rookeries. At birth the pups weigh 14 kilograms, but as the mother's milk contains 60 percent fat, they rapidly put on weight and develop the blubber layer essential for maintaining body temperature when at sea (4). Males come ashore at the pupping sites to mate; they compete for sole access to a group of females (3), and successful dominant males can secure access to up to as many as ten females (3). After mating the seals disperse. The pups stay in the rookery surviving on their blubber reserves until after the moult, they then go to sea and may disperse over large distances (3).

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A huge crowd of people protesting the death of a black Missouri teenager shot by a white police officer have gathered in Ferguson, chanting and carrying signs.
The protests come as the Missouri State Highway Patrol is taking over supervising security in the St. Louis suburb amid criticisms of the police response.
Several people stopped to shake hands with police and troopers. Some have stopped to hug and chat with Capt. Ron Johnson of the Highway Patrol, who is overseeing security.
The scene stands in stark contrast clashes earlier this week when officers wore riot gear. Crowds have gathered since Saturday's shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The mood Thursday is almost jubilant. A steady line of cars driving by the scene is honking and waving at the protesters.

Five people face drug charges in I-495 bust
HOPKINTON, Mass.
- A state police traffic stop on Route 495 led to the arrest of five individuals, including two New Hampshire men, on drug charges early Thursday morning.
According to a news release, the arrests came after a state trooper patrolling the highway observed a vehicle in the far-right travel lane commit several moving violations and then stop in the breakdown lane.
The trooper observed a New Hampshire dealer plate on the vehicle and noticed a "heavy" odor of marijuana coming from inside, police said.
Police said they discovered 2,000 Oxycodone pills and two dozen methadone pills in a "hidden compartment" inside the vehicle.
Four adults and one juvenile were arrested on drug charges, police said.
Manuel Barroso, 31, of Nashua; Jose Rosario, 23, of Manchester; Raul Fontana, 22, of Lawrence; and Julio Herrera, 26, of New York City, were charged with drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
The name of the juvenile could not be released under state law, police said. They were arraigned Friday in Framingham District Court.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
Returning thanks for this promise, Meinrad walked back to his
cell, whence he had set out, and there he begged God continually
with fasting and prayer to deign to establish in his soul His
Divine Will about this matter. And at length, strengthened with
divine inspiration, Meinrad left the cell and the school he had
presided over, and visited the woman again, for he wanted to find
out whether or not she was willing to persist in her promise.
When he saw that she had remained constant in the offer of the
promised aid to him, he built a hut for himself in a lonely place
[on Mount Etzel], not far from the village where the woman lived.[7] And
there Meinrad served the Creator unceasingly with fasts and
prayers; and the woman and other pious folk provided him with the
necessities of life.
For seven years Meinrad served the heavenly King there; but
since he was not strong enough to bear the multitude of people who
came to him, he moved and found a patch of level ground among the
mountains, very difficult to reach, four miles from the lakeshore.
There, with the help of pious folk and especially a certain abbess
by the name of Helwiga, he built a cabin, the bare necessity for
his vow, and he remained in that place for the rest of his life.[8]
He mortified himself with the greatest fasts, as much as human
frailty allowed, and prayed without ceasing. He gave out as alms to
his visitors all those things which faithful men and women used to
send him.
One day while he was praying, it happened that a great host of
demons surrounded him from every side, and the servants of darkness
so overshadowed him that he could no longer see even the light of
day. With terrible threats and the greatest dread, they exhausted
him. Prostrate in prayer, as the situation then required, he
commended himself with every desire to the holy Lord. Things went
on in this way for a long time.
Then, he saw a light from the east. Following this light, an
angel came to him where he was lying prostrate in prayer in the
midst of the evil spirits; and with great authority, the angel
ordered the impious array to depart and to dare not inflict further
temptation or terror on Meinrad. After the host left, the angel
consoled Meinrad, as one friend another, and departed. And so from
that day on, as the venerable man himself used to say, he suffered
no further terror from evil spirits.

Together with fellow Mom Congress delegates, Jen Barth and Renee Berry, I'm delighted to tell you about Books Make it Better, our national book drive to promote early literacy! This has been quite an interesting and educational initiative and I'm so excited to get it underway. After meeting supermommas Jen and Renee at Mom Congress in April, I followed their blogs and Facebook posts about all the wonderful things they were doing in their own states. Jen had organized a community book drive in Portland, Oregon and thought it would be wonderful to bring the idea to NJ. When I reached out to her for some tips, she had already connected with Renee. Before long, we were a national movement!
For me, this process really all began last year when I attended the Parenting magazine Mom Congress Read. Connect. Grow! event in New York City. I live about 45 minutes outside of NYC in suburban NJ. Taking a day off from my everyday life to attend an event like this is not easily accomplished and involves a complex ballet of timetables, transportation and toddlers. However this event seemed worthwhile so I made the necessary arrangements. The morning of Read. Connect. Grow! arrived and in my craziness to catch the 6:57am train, I tripped over a pile of my kids' books as I was gathering my things. I bruised my knee, twisted my ankle and yelled out some sort of expletive! My husband came hurrying as he heard me fall (and curse!). We had a little spat about the fact that the books were taking over (they seemed to be multiplying as the days passed). I ran out of the house determined to get organized when I got back!
I managed to reach the city without further injury. The Read. Connect. Grow! program involved a number of fine speakers, all experts in early literacy and education. Lily Eskelsen, Vice President of the NEA, spoke about the importance of parental involvement. Authors Brian Floca and Matthew Van Fleet spoke about growing up in literary-rich environments. I learned that 1 in 4 US children don't read at a proficient level, 61% of US households don't have age appropriate books and less than half of US children are read to daily. I also learned that these numbers far grimmer in low income households and communities.
It was Jumpstart's Kim Davenport, though, who really changed my perspective that day. Kim told a story about a boy named Jeffrey. Jeffrey was a 4 year old who had attended a Read. Connect. Grow! event the previous year with his mom where each child received a free book. It was Jeffrey's very first book.
Read. Connect. Grow! held another event a year later (just before the NYC event I was attending) And, again, Jeffrey attended with his mom. Again Jeffrey got his book. His second.
I couldn't believe that earlier that morning I was complaining about "too many" books in our house! I was dismayed both with my own behavior and the fact that in this country where so many have so much that a child like Jeffrey could have such limited resources. I was also inspired. I was inspired by Jeffrey's mom who took precious time off from work to take her child to a place where he would get a new book of his own, something that she couldn't provide for him. I was inspired by the panelists that spoke so passionately about the fundamentals and monumental importance of early literacy. It all seemed to come down to one fact: children with access to books do better. I knew that I had to do something. I had to do my part. So began Books Make it Better-NJ. And, together with Jen and Renee, I'm hoping to spread the word about Books Make it Better across the country.
"In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child." - President Barack Obama, Address to Joint Session of Congress, February 24, 2009.
Please join our campaign so that books can make it better for every child!
Meghan Lynch is proud to be the NJ Delegate of the 2011 Mom Congress. She is so honored to be in the company of such tremendous women. Meghan is the founder of https://meandthekids.net/, an activity based website for NJ families; a full time mom to two kiddos ages 5 & 3; and a dedicated volunteer. Since being a part of Mom Congress, Meghan wakes up every day feeling full of awesome! This post was originally published on her blog.

IGN - There's a point in the rebooted Tomb Raider's demo from this year's E3 where Lara realizes she has to climb to the top of a mountain alone to find a radio because her companion is too injured to make the trek himself. "You can do it. You're a Croft," he says.
"I don't know if I'm that kind of Croft," Lara replies. The self-doubt she expresses in that moment is one of the most authentic things I've heard come out of a game character's mouth, and instantly made me feel a connection to her. I want to see her succeed because I see a little bit of me in her.

Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa
1044 Broadway, Woodmere
(516) 792-5955
What sparked Vassa Halatas' passion for dressing brides was a part-time job she had in a small bridal salon, 20 years ago. That experience led her to become a bridal coordinator for a synagogue. Over the years, her career took off and she learned from some of the world's top designers. As director of Wholesale for Reem Acra, general manager for Vera Wang, and sales/alterations specialist for Amsale, her career became fast paced, involved a lot of hard work, and gave her the opportunity to meet creative, unique people, including celebrities. International travel was part of it. She visited different salons, planned runway shows and worked with event planners.
Now, she has incorporated all that background into her own bridal boutique, offering what she refers to as, 'The Vassa Experience.'
"First experiences are the most important," she said. "From the moment you walk into Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa, every experience will feel the same as the first. This is an important and exciting time.
The Vassa Experience is a unique kind of bridal shopping venture. When Vassa takes a bride under her wing, she wants her to have fun! Appointments are exclusively for that bride only, although she can bring along whomever she wants. Wine is offered in a relaxing atmosphere, and the showroom is the bride's to look through. All the wedding gowns are designer ones, and time should be taken to choose the perfect fit.
Vassa will be with the bride for all her appointments. Each alternation appointment, which will include her seamstress, is about an hour and a half long. At the final fitting, Vassa will discuss the details of how to get into the gown. She suggests that a bride brings along someone who will assist her with it on her special day. Vassa will see everything through from beginning to end, and even put the finished gown in the car.
An extra service she can offer is at-the-venue personal assistance on the bride's wedding day. This can mean last minute hand-pressing and preparation of the gown. Assistance is given for photographs, entering the reception, and making sure the gown is flawless for the first dance.
When shopping at Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa, you'll enter an elegant, fully stocked showroom filled with designer wedding gowns, bridal accessories like headpieces, veils, jewelry, and shrugs, and evening gowns. Items can be found at a variety of price points.
Appointments are always suggested. The store is open six days a week and is closed on Tuesday. Photographs of the magnificent showroom and a number of the gowns can be seen on the website: www.weddingdressercouture.com.

Number: 113-11
Date: August 2, 2013
House Passes H.R. 1660,
the Government Customer Service Improvement Act of 2013
On July 31, 2013, the House passed H.R. 1660, the Government Customer Service Improvement Act of 2013, as amended, by voice vote. The bill would establish Government-wide customer service standards and require agencies to develop agency-specific standards. The bill now moves to the Senate for further action.
Following are provisions of interest to SSA:
- Would require the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish performance measures and standards that ensure agencies provide high-quality customer service and improved service delivery to include Government-wide target response times for telephone calls, electronic mail, paper mail, benefit processing, and payments.
- Would require each Federal agency to establish customer service standards and include this information in its annual performance plan.
- Would require OMB to establish a Customer Service Feedback Pilot Program, which would require IRS and at least two other agencies selected by OMB to implement a customer service feedback system.
- The system would collect information from customers of the agencies regarding the quality of service. Information would include the extent to which agency service complies with the OMB-established performance measures and customer feedback on interaction with Government employees. The pilot would continue for at least three years.
- Participating agencies would include information collected from the pilot in their annual agency performance report.
- Compliance with established customer service standards would be included as elements of employee performance for appraisal processes established by participating agencies.
- Would require OMB to establish a two-year Service Improvement Unit Pilot Program to provide assistance to agencies that do not meet the established Government-wide standards.
- Would require OPM to submit to Congress and the Comptroller General, and issue publicly every month, a report that evaluates the timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of information submitted by each Federal agency regarding its employees who are retiring.
- Would be effective upon enactment.

Hundreds of classic cars, hot rods and motorcycles will roll out around Dana Point this weekend for the Orange County Collector Car and Motorcycle Week.
The three-day event is an evolved showcase of the annual Concours d'Elegance – the car show and contest, in its 31st year, that will take place Sunday at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort as part of the larger event.
This year's show honors several anniversaries, including the 100th anniversary of the Duesenberg and anniversaries of the Aston Martin and the Porsche 911. Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be featured in honor of the company's 110th anniversary.
Autos exhibited in Sunday's showcase will be given various awards for categories such as best design and best embodiment of this year's featured model – the Duesenberg. The cars don't roll out onto the St. Regis golf course for the Concours d'Elegance until Sunday morning but there will be plenty to do in the days leading up to it, said spokeswoman Beth Ridenour.
Part of the goal in the expansion of the showcase was to honor the rich automotive history of Southern California as well as attract a wider variety of attendees such as families and younger car enthusiasts, she said.
"Concours, you know, we have a stuffy reputation; we just do. But we're not like that," said chairman of the board Mark Buehler, who has been involved with the event for 18 years.
He said they're just a bunch of guys who really love cars and want to share that with people. It was with this in mind that the event's board added the hot rods and customs categories in the Festival in the Park event Saturday. The event will feature a variety of cars on display at Terrace Park to appeal to all ages, from hot rods to classic military vehicles to automobiles with custom-made bodies. This event is free and there will be music and food trucks on hand.
Buehler said he hopes people will come out and see the great cars and just talk with other enthusiasts. As a preview to Sunday's event, there will be a reception Saturday night featuring food, a fashion show and silent auction.
Another addition this year is Friday's excursion to Camp Pendleton: Attendees will take a car to the base and spend the day touring the area and getting an up-close look not normally available to the public.
Ridenour said the partnership with the Marine Corps base was born out of the fact that this year three of the charities that the car show benefits are Marine charities: the Semper Fi Fund, Marsoc Foundation and Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.
"This is one of those opportunities where the community can come and have a good time but they can really come and support the men in uniform," Buehler said.
Car collector and TV personality Barry Meguiar will be honored as this year's automotive icon – an award that recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the car collecting hobby. This is the second year of the award, Ridenour said.
Meguiar is the host of "Car Crazy," which airs on Discovery's Velocity channel; Ridenour said the show will be shooting an episode during the weekend festivities.
Despite all the new elements that have been added to the showcase, Concours d'Elegance coordinators aren't done yet. Ridenour said given the increased interest in a larger event, the board hopes to eventually expand it to a full week. Buehler said they are looking to bring in auctions and perhaps even vintage races. Ultimately, he said he hopes to have a car show comparable to the show in Pebble Beach, Fla.
But even with all the changes and plans, Buehler said the center of it will always be Dana Point's Concours d'Elegance.
