We have a Cuisinart one. It has always worked well. It doesn't need rock salt, you just freeze the special bowl/container. It's worth getting a second bowl because it takes 24 hours for it to refreeze so you can use it again and sometimes you want more ice cream before that...
This is what we have, and I agree about the second bowl!

Well, I wanted to like the movie. But, I didn't really like it. (Wait for it on dvd if you do want to see it.)
Script -- pretty boring & predictable (how can you do that w/ a cool premise like cowboys & aliens?)
Acting -- so-so, though Daniel Craig was pretty good in his role; I adore Harrison Ford, but I can't say I adored him or his acting here...
Special effects -- the aliens reminded me of the 'Alien' franchise & are too gross, imo, to have this as a PG-13 (I'm definitely not squeamish or a prude about things like that, but felt the alien looks/violence were too gross for the rating it has)
I guess the best things about it were the movie poster & the preview. :lol:
Just got back from the movie...my thoughts exactly!

We currently attend one. Feel free to PM with questions!

DH, who works for Garmin, came home from work today and announced that the Garmin-Cervelo team will be at Garmin HQ at the end of August for a meet and greet. The best news is that DH and DS can cycle a 20 mile ride with the team!!!!!! DS is over the moon. He is now trying to figure out how to save money to buy a Garmin jersey for the team to sign.
-
We bat for team Garmin-Cervelo since DH works for Garmin, but DS is the true cyclist in the family. He discussed the race with himself all day long and can hardly wait for the time trials tomorrow....:lol:

So much fun to see Bill at the mercy of mavens!:lol:

We are doing both (all MCT and at least WWS - jury is still out on ALL b/c we found FLL a bit dry) although I believe they are both excellent stand-alone programs. We have gone all the way through WWE and FLL and through the Island level. I don't want to choose, so I am not. :lol:

We are trying to follow it, but we are having a hard time finding coverage. Where are you following it?

I can certainly see the reasoning for both classes as your junior and senior English classes. For the purposes of the test, though, do colleges give credit for both tests? My score on one of the tests was enough to get out of all of freshman English. What would a second test get me?
-
Back in the Dark Ages when I took AP exams, we were encouraged to choose AP English Language or Literature. Now it seems that many students take both. Can someone bring me up to speed on the thinking behind taking both?
Thanks!

I am a member, and I don't get what to do at all. Can someone "pinterest for dummies" me?

At this point I think it is too late to get tickets from the US - phase II ticket sales were this past week....

I really wanted to go to the Olympics, but DH kept looking at me like I had two heads every time I mentioned it...

When in doubt.... ask the Hive.... :lol:
We were thinking about taking a family trip to Europe next summer, but we are debating about how much impact the Olympics will have on pricing.
We feel that we can safely say that London prices will be elevated, as well as other UK destinations. We aren't sure about other parts of Europe though. Would you think that all of Europe would have elevated pricing for the summer? What say the hive?

Draconionan and a way-out ESTJ when I took the Myers-Briggs tests many years ago...

We are a very pro-AP family. 13 AP exams taken so far, two more next year, and probably 3-4 more after that. The College Board is used to a steady influx of money from our bank account.
So why do my kids keep on doing AP classes? Why have they taken so maany AP exams?
1) The content of the classes. The coursework of an AP class is rigorous, and through several online providers we have found some excellent teachers and classes. For my kids, in high school an AP class was the next step in their education.
If AP classes were not available, I probably would have looked into having my kids take more classes at the local 4-year college, but that gets EXPENSIVE in a hurry.
2) College admissions / outside verification. Having a 5 or several 5's on a transcript provides additional "outside verification" that a student's education was truly rigorous. Strong AP scores strengthen a student's application.
3) College credit. Perhaps the least valuable reason my kids do AP courses is the question of college credit. We chose AP in order to provide my kids with a great high school education. At no point were we focusing on trying to get them through college quicker.
That said, my kids did find their good AP scores useful. My older two kids both attend an top-20 LAC that does give credit for many (though not all) 5's on AP exams. Because of their AP policy, my dd1 was able to get a double degree with an additional minor and ds1 is hoping to be able to triple major. Without their AP credits allowing them to be exempt from some gen ed requirements, they never couldn't do this!
Note -- at my kids' college, a 5 on the AP chemistry or biology exam will fulfill the science gen ed requirement, but pre-meds and students majoring in the sciences are not allowed to use their science AP scores to pass out of the core freshman science classes.
:iagree: My son is going to be pre-med, and this will be our path.....credit is the least of our concerns....

pretty please...:001_smile:

In my area, the going rate for experienced tutors averages $15-20 per hour (if that makes a difference).
wow... going rate for high level math is $40+ per hour around here for instruction

yes - it is an Algebra II text, but it is more than can be covered in a standard school year of Algebra II.

We had tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace...not too fancy, but lovely nonetheless...

I am in charge of teaching two classes next year in our co-op. The first is to 1-2 graders, and the subject is "The 50 States." The next is to 5-7 graders, and I am supposed to create a science fair experience. Each class is 11 weeks long. I would love any thoughts our suggestions you might have.
Thanks so much!

OFFICE HOURS!!! I was at my professors' doors all the time to get help. Out my constant visits, I developed good relationships with my professors. I believe that attaching a face to my name in my large classes made the difference in some of my grades....

ooooh... a meet up - I'm in!

Wow - I didn't realize so many of us lived south of KC! We are in Leawood and the funnel cloud went right over us. Driving around this afternoon, I didn't see much damage though....
Thanks for thinking of us!
