1/17/2024 0 Comments Petrified wood bookends amazonOver millions of years, water bearing silica trickles down through the sediment and the silica forms crystals in the cells and hollows of the wood. The petrification process occurs when wood becomes buried under sediment, such as volcanic ash (most petrified wood is associated with volcanic activity), and is preserved due to a lack of oxygen, inhibiting aerobic decomposition. This means that more-or-less all of the original organic materials have been replaced with minerals. Petrified wood is the result of a tree's trunk or limbs having turned into stone by the process of permineralization. They are a unique way to enhance your home's décor. They make great paperweights, and also look good displayed in groups on a coffee table or shelf. Our Petrified Wood is offered in chunks that nestle into the palm of your hand. Each has a flat base finished on the bottom with black felt to protect your furniture. The Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood Company dinosaurs came from the now defunct International Dinosaur Park and Museum of the Americas.These handsome blocks have been cut and polished to prominently display the colors, markings and patterns that are unique to each piece.Several giant dinosaur statues grace the parking area, which make awesome photo ops!.In the store is also a museum featuring petrified wood and rock specimens from around the world.The family owned and operated store is open daily from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm.The store has pressed penny machines and clean restrooms.is located at 147 US Highway 180, Holbrook, Arizona 86025 in Navajo County. They actually own the mineral rights to several sections of land near Petrified Forest National Park and do their own digging, cutting, and polishing to create gorgeous petrified wood rounds, tabletops, jewelry, artworks, and bookends. Since then, the business has grown to become a worldwide dealer of Arizona Rainbow Petrified Wood. Originally known as the Holbrook Rock Shop, Jim and Cathy Gray started the Petrified Wood Company more than 48 years ago with a pickup truck and a pile of petrified wood. Our second visit was on our way out of town to buy all sorts of goodies and a slab or petrified wood for our home because they definitely had the best prices and the biggest selection.Our first visit to Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood Company was on our very first day in Holbrook We came for the pressed pennies and the funky dinosaurs and were blown away by the museum and store… but we didn’t buy anything because I wanted to see what I might find at Petrified Forest National Park or other local stores.We stopped in the store twice on our short visit! The family owned and operated rock shop sits just south of downtown Holbrook and offers visitors an unparalleled selection of natural petrified wood, polished petrified wood, and even furniture made of petrified wood. Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood Company is the place to go to find rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, souvenirs, Indian crafts, and of course, rainbow petrified wood. That meant a stop at Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood Company. During our time in the Route 66 town of Holbrook, Arizona we hunted dinosaurs, teepees, and beautiful, rainbow petrified wood treasures.

1/17/2024 0 Comments Help sight word worksheetHave you tried roll and color worksheets before? Such an easy way to make a worksheet into a game. Each worksheet has a different image with the sight words: Super fun patterns make these entertaining for kids, too. What I love about these is that you can print them over and over again, unlike a book where once you use the page – it’s a done deal.īetween the 10 pages, they cover 60 high frequency sight words. If you’re interested in downloading all 10, just check out my super affordable listing. All you have to do is click on the picture to download. I’m giving one of them away for free right here. 10 Roll & Color Sight Word Printables:Īfter designing 10 of these, I decided to make them into a set that could be available to print at home as many times as you want. Just depends on how much time you have and how you want to structure it. You can either do all the sight words on one roll or they can color one per roll. This adds a little extra pizzazz to the exercise, while also speeding it along – because I gotta keep this wagon train a-moving, you know what I mean? We make it a game where we race each other to color them first. Then, you just roll the dice and start coloring the sight word that matches the number. Whatever it takes to keep it interest, you know what I mean? We actually use the dice from this math game, because they are extra big and great for little hands and come in fun colors. Just grab some dice, either from another game you already have, or buy a fun set of them like this. If you’ve never used these before, they couldn’t be more simple to use. How To Use Roll & Color Sight Word Worksheets: Then, I thought, why keep these to myself? We can’t be the only ones who love these. So, I cracked my fingers and got to work, creating some super fun, silly roll and color sight word printables. I’d developed far more complicated curricula during my years as an 8th grade teacher. I wasn’t going to throw in the towel just yet. You know, it’s hard to tell what is going to click and make something go from “ugh” to “awesome” and for us – it was roll and color sight word worksheets! Hurrah!īut, I quickly worked through all the ones I could find online. Suddenly, we were having a ball rolling and coloring sight words instead of enduring the “sight word struggle” – as I began to affectionately call it. Suddenly homeschooling my kindergartener and now 1st grader, I’ve realized how important sight words are to learning to read and write with ease.Īfter trying quite a few sight words games and worksheets, I stumbled on this pack of sight word worksheets that used a roll and color approach. I’ve learned a lot about sight words this school year. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Archy comic kissVeronica and Archie kissing in FP's trailer However, later that day, Veronica agrees to perform alongside Archie during the dance and asks for his help in searching FP's trailer, suspecting that her father and FP may have had something to do with Jason Blossom's death. She doesn't regret what happened and even admits that Archie might be boyfriend material, which he proposes they test the theory at the Homecoming dance, but Veronica doesn't think she's ready to see anyone right now. Archie adds that she spent the night, but Veronica likes to call it "they crashed" while being in two separate beds. Veronica and Archie in an empty classroomĪt school, Archie asks Veronica if they are going to talk about last night, when the two of them kissed right after Jughead's party, but Veronica tells Archie that they had a moment, a beautiful but fleeting moment. He acknowledges how messed up he is, but Veronica insists that Archie is less messed up than most. He wonders what life would be like had he made different choices, such as moving to Chicago with his mother, and while this is not a question Veronica could answer, had he moved, they would have never met, which would have been a tragedy of epic proportions, Veronica remarks. Archie admits to drunk dialing his dad and telling him not to sign the divorce papers. And later that evening, once the house has cleared, Archie and Veronica chat on the couch about the failings within their respective lives. Archie consoles Veronica and hugs her close. Veronica attends Jughead's birthday party, though she's not exactly in a partying moods, the reason being that her father threatened to destroy her mother if Veronica did not testify, saying things like she was just as guilty as he was, but Veronica is unsure if he was telling the truth. As Veronica grows more upset, Archie offers to talk some place private or even grant her back her part, but she isn't interested and joins Josie and the Pussycats instead. On top of his betrayal, she tells him about her mother and his father, which Archie doesn't have a problem with, reasoning that they both like each other and mentioning the fact that Archie's parents are separated, and Veronica's father is incarcerated. However, the next day, Veronica arrives at school prepared to rehearse with Archie but learns that he has given her spot to Valerie. The Variety Show Īrchie and Valerie practicing in the student loungeĪfter Archie chokes on stage during his audition for the Variety Show, Veronica manages to strong-arm Kevin into giving Archie a spot in the show nonetheless and even offers to sing alongside him. After hearing more about Archie's childhood with Betty, Veronica advises him to give Betty time and not to despair, as she didn't believe their story was over yet. Now, it feels like she just missed the train that was headed to the rest of her life. Archie is back to no texting, while Veronica is back to being the shallow and toxic rich-bitch that ruins everything in her path, which is unfortunate because even though she had just met Betty, she feels they were destined to be best friends. Īrchie runs into Veronica at Pop's and agrees to walk her home so they can talk about Betty, who has cut both of them out of her life. Later that week, she attends the Semi-formal with Archie and Betty, and afterwards, Cheryl's after-party, during which, a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven leads Archie and Veronica to kiss in a closet, a moment that both soon come to regret when they realize just how much they've hurt Betty. With Archie, she also meets Betty, both of whom welcome her to Riverdale. Veronica and Archie make out at the closetĪrchie and Veronica first meet at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, not long after Veronica's arrival in town. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Stockpile defense pahrumpPlutonium was dispersed and radioactivity was detected in the Nevada Test and Training Range, according to the U.S. In 19, explosive testing was conducted near or on the base, depending on what version of maps one is looking at, Crete said. We would breathe it in,” said Crete, who said he has lung issues and easily gets bronchitis. Dust storms were common in the spring and “strong” dust devils rose up during the summer, according to the environmental assessment from 1975. government finally admitted Tonopah Test Range was used to test ballistic and non-nuclear features of atomic testing, which caused radiological and chemical contamination of soils, according to a fact sheet from the Department of Energy. Their records for that period of time are “data masked,” or obscured, he said. When veterans try to file a claim through Veterans’ Affairs, they get denied because they cannot prove they were exposed to radiation, Crete said. It was “highly classified,” so compensating the veterans for their medical bills would require acknowledging they were there in the first place, Crete said. “Officially,” he and his squadron were not there, Crete said. Tonopah Test Range was also the site for military airdrops and cratering tests with conventional explosives that were part of a program called Plowshare, which investigated nonmilitary uses of nuclear explosions, according to an environmental assessment from 1975.Ĭrete provided operational security for the country’s “top-secret” F-117A stealth aircraft at the Tonopah Test Range, which the government did not even acknowledge existed until 1988, Crete said. He served in the Air Force’s 4461st Security Police Squadron from 1983 to 1987 at the Tonopah Test Range, a part of the Nevada Test and Training Range, that is located about 160 miles northwest of Las Vegas. “If you’ve got a history of paying claims to people who were serving at the same location, then it’s not even like (what) Agent Orange for Vietnam vets was like (in which) we got to prove something for the whole class,” Amodei said.Ĭrete worries there could be some pushback. He does not expect much pushback with the legislation, since the harmful effects were already proved for the civilians and Department of Energy employees. “But we’re not a lesser person than somebody who worked for the Department of Energy.”Īmodei did not have a specific cost estimate for his legislation, as it would depend on each individual claim filed by the veterans, but it could add up to millions, Amodei said. We signed up, we took an oath,” Crete said. His executive order compensated civilians and Department of Energy employees who worked on the country’s nuclear weapons, but not military Department of Defense active-duty members or contractors, Amodei said. The legislation would fill in the holes of an executive order signed by President Bill Clinton in 2000. He said he doesn’t think it will be a “geographical or a partisan” issue. “If these are veterans, or federal employees or contractors that were exposed to something they should be compensated,” Amodei said. The bill is still being drafted, but Amodei expects bipartisan support when it comes to the House floor. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., to introduce federal legislation that seeks to compensate veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals. “And so, I finally just decided enough was enough.”Ĭrete pushed Rep. “None of them have been able to get anything, and they’re all sick,” Crete said. When they worked at the Nevada Test and Training Range, which covers 2.9 million acres of land, they say they were exposed to chemicals like plutonium, although they hadn’t known it at the time.Ībout 40 years later, the veterans hope to be compensated for their medical bills. Many also have pulmonary issues or some type of cancer. Six of them had fatty tumors called lipomas on their bodies, and Crete himself had to get a lump the size of a grapefruit removed from his back about 10 years ago. (Rachel Aston/Las Vegas Review-Journal) Vegas resident Dave Crete attended a reunion in 2016 with eight of his fellow veterans who had served in the 1980s at what was then known as the Nevada Test Site, when they noticed many of them had similar health problems.

It will also allow syncing across devices, which is great if you want to open docs or pick up streaming between, say, a laptop and tablet. It's not a requirement, but you might find the tablet more intuitive when getting started. If all of your other devices are on a specific OS, you'll likely want to stay with it. But if there's an app you know you want for another OS, you should check that it's available for that platform. Apple has a massive app store, so you're likely covered for any app you want to add. ✔️ Operating system (OS): Apple and Android are two of the more common options, though there are Windows and Fire models. Also note that accessories, like keyboards and styluses, are often not included - and not all accessories are compatible, so it’s important to factor in their cost at the onset. Consider what you will be using it for to get the capabilities you need. ✔️ Price: Like laptops, tablet prices vary widely based on performance, build quality and size. Lastly, we evaluate the tablet’s operating noise and measure the temperature during operation and extreme use. We also take note of the tablet’s battery life, connectivity and touchscreen responsiveness. Is video quality crisp and clear?

To start, our product analysts first evaluate the tablet's design, assessing features such as portability, ergonomics and number of ports. When narrowing down the best tablets to use at home or on-the-go, we evaluate everything from a tablet’s design and performance, to screen resolution, ease of use and more. The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute Media & Tech Lab have tested at least two dozen tablets in the past two years.

Like other Apple tablets, the App Store gives you access to loads of apps, so you can add games or productivity apps, depending on how you want to use the tablet. As a bonus, it's offered in three fun pastel shades plus silver, but it does lack the audio jack that's been present on previous models - that means you'll only be able to connect Bluetooth headphones. Unlike its predecessor, we like that this latest model supports 4K video for the highest quality streaming and even features an improved front camera for snapping quick photos. When evaluating the iPad 10th Gen, our pros were impressed by the display's sharp resolution and responsive interface. The A14 Bionic chip adeptly delivers the capacity for multiple tasks if needed. This 10.9-inch tablet is nicely sized and well-powered for a variety of tasks, like browsing, editing documents and video, gaming, streaming and making video calls.
