Petersen Painting provides professional painting services for new construction and multi-family housing projects around Utah.
Joel Petersen and Nick Barnes started into the painting industry at 16 and 14, so painting is all they know. After working for other contractors, Joel realized he could do it better, so, in 1996 he launched Petersen Painting while working for a large national homebuilder in Utah, and Nick came on board three years later. Today, Petersen Painting has sister operations in Utah and Idaho, with Joel heading the Utah division, with Nick leading the Idaho division. Between operations in both states, the company paints 5,000 single family homes and 2,000 apartment units annually.
An important key to Petersen Painting's success is the internal software system they developed to manage employees, projects and workflow, so they can grow their employee base while increasing revenue. The software is consistently evolving and can be adjusted to fit a specific project. Joel says it's been a game changer in helping the company grow.
Petersen Painting provides professional painting services for new construction and multi-family housing projects. Joel's team in Utah has 110 associates and works with some of the top homebuilders in the state, like Edge Homes, Ivory Homes and Cadence. They also paint thousands of apartment units, especially through the Wasatch Group management company, who contracts with Petersen Painting every year.


"Emotions are not equal to facts. Today's culture tends to celebrate emotions. When we watch a show, listen to a story, or look at a work of art, we want to feel something. When we go through tragedy or celebrate life, emotions are just natural. God created us to have emotions. There are plenty of scriptures that even explain the emotions of God. However, when it comes to facts, emotions can skew your view.
"Think of the ideology of pro-choice activists. It's a campaign purely driven by fear. Fear that a woman wouldn't be able to raise a child because of singleness, finances, or career goals. Then when they go through with it, society tells them that they should feel proud, but so many times, they are driven into depression. The truth is that there are more resources now, more than ever, to help mothers achieve their goals. And when you talk to mothers who kept their children, they will say it was the best decision they have ever made.
"Many of you have heard of a recently coined title, Social Justice Warrior. They pride themselves on saving mankind, I mean womankind, I mean… you know what I'm trying to say, from "harmful forces" like the patriarchy, white privilege, and religious oppression. Essentially, they are angry about everything.
"Did you know that more than 100 colleges are offering undergraduate or graduate degrees in social justice? This may be the worst career path since women's studies. These programs mandate students to participate in left-wing causes while learning about a slew of highly-skewed problems such as heterosexism, institutional racism, and environmental harm. They are essentially being trained to be full-time protestors.
"That is just one of the many absurd career paths or courses you can take. Others include Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology (as it pertains to God), White People, Black Hair Politics, and Saints and Sexuality, to name a few. Keep in mind, someone is paying for these classes, and many times, it's our taxpayer money.
"What they aren't being taught is American history. Otherwise, they would know why the United States fought against destructive ideologies such as communism, Marxism, and socialism. Our founders sought true freedom as outlined in our Constitution. Those freedoms do not stop once you cross the threshold of a college campus.
"After all of this foolishness, be encouraged, because we are winning.
"So far, nine states have banned free speech areas. That may seem like a low number, but keep in mind, free speech zones are a fairly new concept. We are seeing more and more of these bills cropping up in legislative sessions.
"The Department of Justice has been on a roll with filing Statements of Interest in several free speech cases. One case is Speech First v. Schlissel. This was filed against the University of Michigan whose speech policies prohibit and punish speech. The University also created a "Bias Response Team" who harassed students for wearing Make America Great Again hats. Since then, the University made the necessary updates to their policy.
"One notable case I would like to point out on free speech is Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. A cake baker by the name Jack Phillips runs a bakery in Colorado. When a gay couple asked him to bake a cake for their wedding ceremony, Jack gently explained that he couldn't because of his beliefs. He explained that this isn't the only event he wouldn't make a cake for. He also didn't make cakes for Halloween, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and so on. But the couple complained to the Civil Rights Commission and the Commission forced Jack to re-educate his staff on LGBT issues and was told that he could no longer refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding.
"The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Jack's favor. Now this may not directly deal with campus free speech, but could certainly have wide-spread effects on those kinds of situations, like forced participation in events that students may morally object to.
"The solutions to this free speech problem are fairly simple. This is every American's First Amendment right regardless of where you are standing. Colleges and Universities must uphold our Constitution. They can do this by creating policies that reaffirm the Constitution by allowing every student to speak freely and demonstrate peacefully anywhere on campus. Congress has already acted on this by introducing a resolution (H. Res. 307) that does just that. It is still in the House, but actions have been taken to put the language in upcoming education bills.


In early Singapore, satay was sold by street hawkers called "Satay Men." The stalls would have low wooden stools for customers, and tables that were crudely constructed from wooden boxes.
This Miniature Stories collectible figurine depicts a Chinese customer enjoying his Satay, peanut sauce and ketupat at the stall. He is seated on a low stool at a small wooden table.
He is best displayed with the Satay seller figurine (SH005) with his portable charcoal grill (sold separately).

Some bad ideas are remarkably persistent, defying both evidence and the clear will of the electorate to resurface time and again. Assisted dying is one of them.
Despite an overwhelming vote in Parliament last year, in which MPs of all parties rejected plans that would allow doctors to give patients the means to commit suicide, members of the British Medical Association are once again lobbying for doctors to abandon their opposition to a policy that would allow them to help people kill themselves.
The advocates are no doubt honourably motivated by concern for the terminally ill; a way must be found to ease their suffering, they say. That is true, but it does not follow that suicide is the way to do so.
In fact, poor palliative care and end-of-life services are often behind calls for assisted dying, and allowing the killing of seriously ill people would almost inevitably detract from efforts to improve those services: why waste resources on people who might choose to die instead?
Then there is the question of who qualifies. Countries that have tried assisted dying, such as the Netherlands, now find themselves considering whether people with depression or other mental illness should be helped to end their own lives.
Perhaps most important for doctors is their relationship with patients. Poll after poll shows that the British public trusts doctors, a trust founded on the confidence that physicians will do their utmost to protect and heal.
Could that relationship remain unchanged if doctors had formal legal power to bring about our deaths? Doctors should continue to oppose assisted suicide, and focus on improving care for the dying.


In this Information Age, social media and the Internet have created a whole new way of doing business and making more money. Today individuals are earning a living through knowledge sharing and leveraging opportunities that they wouldn't have 10 years ago. This offers entrepreneurs with the opportunity of creating lifestyle businesses centred around solving a specific problem for a specific niche' market. A lifestyle business is also formed from an individual's passion and generating a profit from it.
As Africa emerges as the next big market, with a population of over 1 billion there are great opportunities for lifestyle entrepreneurs. However, for these type of businesses to remain sustainable particularly in Africa they will require continuous improvement in product or services offering through innovation and technology. The goal of a true lifestyle entrepreneur is to create a business that is continuously innovative and has enough assets to provide an income and the desired lifestyle without the need for the entrepreneur to work within the business any longer.
Speakers will share insights and experiences on how individuals may transform and innovate their lifestyle business or idea.

I laughed when my husband said the other night that this almond crusted baked chicken was his favorite of all the Whole30 meals I've made so far (including pork and potato soup and homemade breakfast sausage and caramelized onions and swiss chard and sweet potato and apple casserole and oven-roasted hash browns).
I asked why, and he said his mom used to make baked chicken all the time when he was a kid. She used Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies. I remember it well too, because my mom used to do the same thing with Shake 'n Bake.
Almond crusted baked chicken is like what your mom used to make when you were a kid, but it's grown up and healthier. And it's downright delicious!
There are only two main components to any baked chicken recipe: the egg wash and the breading.
I've tested this recipe MULTIPLE times over the past few weeks, trying all sorts of variations between these two components, seeing if it mattered if I did things one way versus another.
It doesn't really matter if you use an egg wash.
If you are looking for that signature seasoned coating that crisps up in the oven, it really truly doesn't matter if you use an egg wash or not.
I tried one plain egg scrambled, one egg with a splash of water (similar to my famous scrambled egg recipe), one egg with a splash of almond milk and just plain water.
None of these variables effected the end result. The chicken was crispy and DELICIOUS every time.
It means that if you run out of eggs, don't worry about it.
If it's the end of the month and you need that egg for something else (like a double batch of cinnamon oatmeal blender waffles), don't worry about it.
If you're making a ton of baked chicken for a crowd and you don't want to mix up a dozen eggs just to dip chicken into it and possibly have a bunch of chicken-contaminated scrambled eggs at the end that you aren't sure what to do with, don't worry about it.
Just skip the egg wash.
It DOES matter if you don't season the coating.
Those who aren't on the Whole30 might use typical seasoned breadcrumbs (I recommend making your own Italian-style homemade breadcrumbs). Since gluten and grains are off limits at the moment, we're relying on almond flour and almonds that I've pulsed in my Blendtec.
Which flavor-wise, make for a bland coating.
You must (MUST MUST MUST) season the coating. Otherwise you risk making a very boring dinner.
Boring dinners aren't allowed in my house (cheap yes, simple yes, boring no) so I season generously and my recipe below reflects that.
You don't have to use quite as much seasoning if you don't want to, but trust me when I say don't rely on the "salted" portion of the almonds to carry the flavor through because it's not gonna happen.
The only reason to use an egg wash.
While you can totally skip using the egg wash (which is what I've done most of the time), using an egg wash does give you a more evenly coated breading on the chicken.
I also found that when you use an egg wash, you don't seem to use quite as much coating.
If I was using homemade breadcrumbs, made from leftover homemade bread, I probably wouldn't care so much about needing a few extra slices to make breadcrumbs. At less than 50¢ per loaf, that's something my grocery budget can afford.
However, neither almond flour nor almonds are cheap. And I really don't want to use anymore of either unless I absolutely have to.
Or you skip the egg wash and you might have to make more coating halfway through.
Pick and choose your battle, right?
I wrote the recipe to reflect my preference for taste and ease, but know that the recipe is flexible based on what you have and your budget.
Like most crusted baked chicken recipes, this doesn't freeze well. Leftovers the next day, whether plain added to a hash or chopped up in a salad, are very good. But this isn't something you'll want to make tons of to stash in your freezer for a quick meal later on.
I really liked the boneless skinless chicken thighs best because they were so moist, but again, use whatever chicken you have on hand.
One final note – boneless chicken (or pork) will cook up pretty quick, so I recommend putting this in the oven when everything else is about 15 minutes away from being done. I like to get the oven preheating, get the side dishes going and then prepare the chicken. It can sit ready to go, on the pan, for awhile until it's time to go in the oven.
Bring back a healthier version of your favorite baked chicken with Almond Crusted Baked Chicken.
The egg wash won't make or break this dish. It helps even out the coating, but if you need your eggs for breakfast in the morning (cinnamon protein pancakes, anyone?), skip them on the chicken.
To get the crisp delicious coating on your chicken, make sure to blend up your almonds and seasoning in a high powered blender (like this one).
Although almonds and almond flour are pricier items, you can stock them in your frugal real food pantry by using the techniques learned in Grocery Budget Bootcamp. Take advantage of that rock bottom price!
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack on top.
Combine the almond flour, almonds, salt, paprika and pepper in a blender or food processor and pulse until the almonds are in small pieces (half a pea, or smaller), about 4-6 times. Make sure not to over process, or to process for longer spurts, otherwise the almonds will release their oils and you'll make almond butter. Pour this into a shallow dish.
In a separate shallow dish, crack the egg and add the water or milk. Whisk well.
Bake the chicken for 15-18 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Serve warm.
* If you run out of the almond coating, you can either make a small half-batch using the ratio of 2 Tbsp flour to 1 Tbsp whole almonds, OR just sprinkle more almond flour into the bowl. I tend to do the latter since it's easier.
Do you have a dish that reminds you of your mom's cooking when you were a child? Leave your memories and ideas in the comments below!
So do you bake the chicken still on the cooling racks?
Hi Tiffany, so if I use the racks I do not have to turn the chicken? That would be great.
This looks delicious, it looks like you served with the caramelized onion swiss chard, but what is the other side with the tomatoes, that looks great as well.
What would be a good whole 30 alternative to almonds…Just a different nut flour? I'm allergic and so many grain free recipes call for it…such a bummer.
Yes, any nut flour would work!
I haven't tried that substitution Laurie, but if you've done it before with success, it should work!
We don't have almond flour because we don't use it. I do like almonds and I bought some for a recipe but might have gone a little over board on the almonds when I bought them. Could we just use regular flour in case we buy the almond flour and don't like it and then what? I have a wish. When something isn't something you have ever used, and it's a new product or just something most people don't use all the time, I wish they would make a trial sized box or bag or whatever of it. That way if you try it and you don't care for it, you are only throwing away a little bit, not a whole, full sized package. Okay, I will get off of my soap box now. LOL I want to try this recipe and I do love the corn flake chicken recipe. I have made that many times but we don't make shake and bake anymore.
Oh my, epic fail! Pulsing 4-5 times I had whole almonds with some chunks out of them. I continued to pulse and even after more than a dozen pulses I had huge chunks. My food processor has speeds and you didnt say what speed, could that be the problem? Help, cuz this sounds and looks great – well, yours looks great – not mine.
I don't have a food processor Cindy, but I used my Blendtec with the "pulse" button so that's how I processed the almonds. I've made this many times, including just two days ago, and it takes me maybe 6-8 rounds to get them into small pieces. If you have whole chunks, stir or shake up the contents of the container so they shift around a bit. Sometimes one or two almonds can get stuck and make the whole thing not work nearly as smooth as it should.
Delicious! Reminded us of chick-a-filet but better.
That's a high compliment – thank you Megan!
Can you make the breading ahead of time?
Do you use raw almonds or dry roasted & salted?
Can you use almond flour and flaxseed meal?
That would probably work Lakesha!

Flash Crash by Liam Vaughan
17 June 2018 Liam Vaughan
*EARLY COPY GIVEAWAY*
The riveting story of a trading prodigy who amassed $70 million from his childhood bedroom--until the US government accused him of helping trigger an unprecedented market collapse
On May 6, 2010, financial markets around the world tumbled simultaneously and without warning. In the span of five minutes, a trillion dollars of valuation was lost. The Flash Crash, as it became known, represented the fastest drop in market history. When share values rebounded less than half an hour later, experts around the globe were left perplexed.
Raised in a working-class neighborhood in West London, Navinder Singh Sarao was a preternaturally gifted trader who played the markets like a computer game. By the age of thirty, he had left behind London's "trading arcades," working instead out of his childhood home. For years the money poured in. But when lightning-fast electronic traders infiltrated markets and started eating into his profits, Nav built a system of his own to fight back. It worked--until 2015, when the FBI arrived at his door. Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or a folk hero who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
A real-life financial thriller, Flash Crash uncovers the remarkable, behind-the-scenes narrative of a mystifying market crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud, and the man at the center of them both.

For native Guatemalan Ana Navarro, nothing is more satisfying than capturing drug traffickers for the U.S. DEA.

In 1990, Jon and Mickey Bowie, 19 year-old identical twin brothers, met up with friends to drink beers and party at a Red Roof Inn outside of Columbia, Maryland. There were fifteen teenagers and two cases of beer and the music was probably louder than it should have been. Police came to break up the party and while doing so violently beat the twin brothers, leaving their faces bloody and eyes swollen shut. Outraged, the Bowie brothers pressed charges against the police officers for excessive force. These charges led to months of harassment and intimidation by the police. Just before the brothers were to appear in court to face the police, Jon Bowie turns up dead, his body discovered on top of the backstop at the high school baseball field, and his death was immediately declared a suicide. However, as witnesses stepped forward and the events of the weeks and days leading up to Bowie's death are discovered, it became clear that this was no suicide.
Could a charge of excessive force be enough to convince a police officer to murder a teenager?

For generations, the princes of Ilara have married the most beautiful maidens from the ocean village of Varenia. But though every girl longs to be chosen as the next princess, the cost of becoming royalty is higher than any of them could ever imagine…
Nor once dreamed of seeing the wondrous wealth and beauty of Ilara, the kingdom that's ruled her village for as long as anyone can remember. But when a childhood accident left her with a permanent scar, it became clear that her identical twin sister, Zadie, would likely be chosen to marry the Crown Prince—while Nor remained behind, unable to ever set foot on land.
Then Zadie is gravely injured, and Nor is sent to Ilara in her place. To Nor's dismay, her future husband, Prince Ceren, is as forbidding and cold as his home—a castle carved into a mountain and devoid of sunlight. And as she grows closer to Ceren's brother, the charming Prince Talin, Nor uncovers startling truths about a failing royal bloodline, a murdered queen…and a plot to destroy the home she was once so eager to leave.
In order to save her people, Nor must learn to negotiate the treacherous protocols of a court where lies reign and obsession rules. But discovering her own formidable strength may be the one move that costs her everything: the crown, Varenia and Zadie.

Book Bites – Library undertaking plan of service
by Stephen Dafoe
The Morinville Community Library has started its Plan of Service, a requirement under provincial legislation. The Plan of Service will outline the mission statement, goals and objectives of the Morinville Community Library over the next one to five years.
Board Chair Jennifer Anheliger said the Plan of Service work will let the library see its accomplishments as well as identify areas of improvement.
"The most important part of our plan, however, is going to be the input we receive from members of our community," Anheliger said. "Our goal is for our plan of service to be a collaborative work between board, staff and community members all coming together to create something new."
Work on the plan has begun at the board and staff levels and will now move forward with community consultations.
Part of that work will be a needs assessment where board and staff members will reach out to the community through surveys or invitations to a focus group on library services.
"It is important that we receive input from users and non-users so that we can make sure to create a full comprehensive plan that encompasses all the needs within our community," Anheliger said. "We feel that everyone who walks into Morinville Community Library should feel like it is a personal space for them. Everybody should have the opportunity to see themselves reflected in the space, the programs, and the services that we deliver."

Whether you have mobile users or stationary users, their ability to print is almost always an issue. If they are mobile and travel to and from all of your remote offices, how do you go about making sure they have all the correct printers when they arrive? If it is a stationary user, how do you plan on making sure they are assigned and have access to only the printers in their department?
For the mobile user you could just add all the network printers to their laptop so no matter where they go, they have a printer from that location available to them. But then they would have a lot of printers to dig through when they needed to print and their laptop would be bogged down with a lot of print drivers. For the stationary user you could just create a GPO or script that gives them the printers for their department when they log into their computer, but then their login time takes a hit and they now have to wait an extra minute before seeing their desktop.
Whether you have mobile employees who move around to different locations, or employees that are stationary, PrinterLogic's print management solution will fix the above issues while saving you time and money—all while giving your end users an overall better printing experience. And did I mention that you can do all of this without print servers.
PrinterLogic is an on-premise web application with three key components. Those components are an administration console, self-service printer Installation portal and a small client that is installed on each workstation. The admin console is used for creating, organizing, managing and deploying printers. The self-service printer installation portal is available to end users so they can install a printer on their own with a single click without needed local admin rights. The client is the piece that installs printers, manages printers, installs printer drivers, manages printer drivers and allows you to do print job reporting and auditing.
Through PrinterLogic's admin console, you can create printer deployment assignments based on Active Directory User, Computer, Group, Container and OU's. You can also create deployment assignments based on IP address range, hostnames and computer MAC address. With these deployment options your mobile user will no longer need to have all of the remote location printers installed at all times. Instead, as they show up to a remote location, the client running on their laptop will notice their IP is now in a range that you created a deployment assignment for and it will automatically give them the printer. When they leave to go to the next location, it will remove the old printer and give them the new one for the next location upon arrival.
Do you have a computer lab that you want to quickly and easily deploy the lab printer to? With PrinterLogic you can deploy that lab printer to every machine in the lab with one assignment and anybody who uses those computers will have access to the printer.
Want to restrict who has rights to certain printers, or who is allowed to even install certain printers? With PrinterLogic you can restrict access to printers based on Active Directory memberships, IP address range, hostname and MAC address.
No matter the situation, PrinterLogic can easily deploy the printer to the user, and it won't add the printer to their desktop until after they have logged in instead of while they are logging in. So your users get faster login times and seamless printer deployments.
To learn more, schedule a demo of PrinterLogic today and take advantage of our free trial.

Two New SEC Orders Further Limit Employers' Ability to Secure Employee Releases and the Breadth of Confidentiality Agreements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued two orders challenging employee confidentiality agreements and indicating that companies must not condition employees' receipt of severance payments and other post-employment benefits on agreeing to refrain from exercising their rights as whistleblowers and receiving awards for doing so. On August 16, 2016, the SEC issued an order in an enforcement action against Health Net Inc. finding improper its inclusion of severance agreement language that allegedly required terminated employees to waive their ability to obtain monetary awards from the agency's whistleblower program. The SEC's press release quoted Associate Director Antonia Chion as stating, "Financial incentives in the form of whistleblower's awards, as Congress recognized, are integral to promoting whistleblowing to the Commission," and that severance agreements that "strip away those financial incentives" were viewed as "directly targeting the Commission's whistleblower program."
The Health Net Inc. action follows an August 10 enforcement action filed by the SEC against Atlanta-based building products maker BlueLinx Holdings Inc., in which the agency took issue with severance agreements containing overly broad confidentiality provisions that omitted any "exemption permitting an employee to provide information voluntarily to the Commission or other regulatory or law enforcement agencies." Both cases were filed on a "no-admit, no-deny" basis under settled cease-and-desist orders charging the companies with violating Rule 21F-17, which required Health Net and BlueLinx to pay civil penalties of $340,000 and $265,000, respectively.
These aggressive enforcement actions by the SEC continue the trend of governmental agencies vigorously opposing agreements and policies that discourage or prevent employees from reporting potentially illegal conduct. In light of these developments, companies should review agreements and policies that may discourage reporting to governmental agencies and consider including language in such agreements to clarify that employees may report to federal or state governments and may participate in government investigations or inquiries. Specifically, companies should make sure their employment agreements allow employees and former employees to make reports to employment and other governmental agencies and to participate in investigations conducted by government agencies. Employers should delete or modify provisions that require employees and former employees to forgo the receipt of monetary or other relief in the event they do make a report to a governmental agency or become involved in a governmental investigation.
Employers are well-advised to review their employee agreements and consider whether provisions should be deleted or modified in light of these new SEC orders.

Videos and music can now be seen on demand and information from the world over can be delivered straight away. Your membership promotes scientific literacy and provides hundreds of thousands of students opportunities to fall in love with science. If one thing huge has occurred within the news then this is a certain fire strategy to spark up a dialog with someone where there may in any other case have been an ungainly silence.
A Notre Dame chemistry professor well known for his contributions to the sector of photoelectrochemistry and renewable power research was honored with a tribute difficulty to him in one of the four journals of The Journal of Physical Chemistry , printed by the American Chemical Society. In comparison to traditional devices and tools, future technology information states that ultramodern units are more workable and powerful of their performance.
You won't assume that news is continually about crises in different international locations, or issues which have happened to other folks, but more likely the information displays a policy or government decision that will probably be utilising your tax cash and that may have an effect on your financial system. Science permits children to make play dough, cookies, slime and all kinds of other gross and fun things.
Most law faculties frown upon their students questioning how legal guidelines had been originally conceived. The Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) will probably be transferring quickly to its new location in 146-147 Stepan Chemistry Hall. But a Canadian legislation school as soon as argued convincingly that legislation needs to be taught as a social science. Naturally man is turning into vulnerable to diseases and disabilities unknown to medical science.


How many of you have found yourself in this situation: it is Saturday night and you are watching TV. All of a sudden, this intriguing movie trailer comes scrolling across your screen. It is a teaser about this amazing movie coming out this summer. You are captivated and memorized. You have to find out as much as you can about this movie that has captured your attention. You are hooked, line and sinker. You will be buying tickets online to see that movie as soon as they are available. Effective classroom hooks are the same in regards to exciting movie trailers. A great hook gives students a preview of what an amazing lesson is getting ready to be taught and learned. It can make the difference between the best lesson ever and the worst.
I have talked about what hooks are and what purpose they serve during a lesson. Now let's talk about the benefits of hooks. Hooks provide engagement, excitement and a gateway into the lesson's objective that can prepare and motivate students to learn the content being taught. Students can focus on creating more productive work and hooks make the learning environment fun right from the start. These activities can tap into the multiple intelligence approach to learning simply by allowing teachers to be creative with the type of hooks used to kick off the lesson. For example, in Using Hook Stations to Engage Students in a Lesson, Hillary Mills, a 7th grade Science-Geology teacher, uses hook stations to kick off her geology/biology lesson. The stations are set up just like small group learning stations but incorporated at the beginning of the lesson. Each of the stations incorporates different hands on activities, with the students acting as geologists studying fossils in each case.

American Idol 2013 Top 6 Performances: Lazaro Arbos at his worst...again!
'American Idol' 2013 Top 6 finalist Lazaro Arbos delivered a performance tonight which according to "Idol" judge Randy Jackson is his worst performance ever!
The American Idol 2013 Top 6 finalists (Lazaro Arbos, Angie Miller, Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb, Janelle Arthur) performed two songs each on Wednesday night, April 10, 2013 (Thursday morning MLA Time). One was a song composed by hitmaker Burt Bacharach, and the other one was a song which the finalists wished they had written.
Candice Glover stood out among the Top 6 by delivering best performances of the evening, earning a standing ovation from the judges. Her 2nd performance, "Lovesong" by The Cure, was so outstanding that judge Randy Jackson considers it as one of the best ever, not just only this season, but in the whole of American Idol history.
But all eyes were probably on 21-year-old Florida bet Lazaro Arbos, who many believe should have been the one eliminated last week and not Burnell Taylor.
he deserves to stay, he proved it otherwise tonight.
All judges were unanimous that they didn't like it. Randy commented that it was Arbos' worst performance ever in the show, while Mariah Carey believed it was not the right song choice for me.
Remember, during Top 9, Lazaro already got that "worst performance" comment from Randy for his take on Beatles' "In My Life" and now he got same comment again.
Probably, it could qualify as among the worst on "Idol" history, and even his 2nd performance tonight, singing "Angels" by Robbie Williams, could not save him from that worst moment of his life.
Are we going to have an all-girl Top 5 finalists on American Idol 2013?
Or will Lazaro stay once again? As the last guy standing, the votes of screaming teen girl viewers of the show might bring him to the Top 5.
If not Lazaro, I'd like Janelle Arthur to be the next one goin' home. She wasn't also that impressive tonight.
The American Idol 2013 finale is set for May 15 and 16, and there are still 5 elimination nights left. The are 6 finalists remaining and if the judges aren't gonna use their "save" tomorrow, there will already be a Top 2 by May 2, and that's two weeks before the finale.
