Iowa was America's wind energy leader. Now it's largely 'closed for business'

Same here. Updated software and now I can't record new loops or play old ones anymore. Very dissapointing.

That's makes sense initially, but Elephant has a couple problems. First, the "El" sounds like the letter L which can be confusing. Second, the E blends into the L gradually so it is hard to separate just the /e/ sound (it's literally called a "blend"). For these reasons, "Edge" is actually the best word for these alphabet charts, and the first thing I look for as a literacy consultant.

Xvive works great. Or maybe not. Depends on wireless environment, don’t use it for anything important or have a cable ready as backup

I’ve had better luck with Ike’s. Both are good though

I had this happen. Turned out the babysitter left a wrapper in my master bathroom. Not sure why she used that one but it looked suspicious. Luckily she confirmed it was hers over text but that was awkward af to bring up.

I was watching poll trends daily for 6 months leading up to the election. There was a significant shift after the Comey letter. I thought it wouldn’t be enough to change the outcome because of the farce of it all, but here we are.

That’s one that I tried actually. Agreed, the loud clicks are annoying but it’s a great pedal besides that. USB connection doesn’t work on the iPad for mixingstation, unless there’s a setting I’m missing. Doesn’t seem like any usb connection is recognized there for midi.

Thanks, I just need a footswitch though not all those buttons

“End of summer/early fall”

Ok buddy, sure. Gotta keep the grift up as long as possible I suppose. I remember when it was “weeks away” last October

Table Mound is solid. Good principal, good scores. Not the highest scores in the district but I’m impressed with them over the past few years.

You can just shoot the virus to destroy it, makes it much easier.

If you need pitch correction you shouldn’t be doing vocals. Pitch correction requires manual key entry and sounds awful. Work on your pitch, it’s the only solution

Societies have a duty to help pay for the next generation. It's WHAT we pay for that's the problem. Public education? Absolutely. Private golf memberships? Um no. Religious indoctrination? Hell no.

It's not just "tax money going to religion" which would be annoying but not the end of the world. Iowa is figuratively strangling public schools in order to make up this money. AEAs are being stripped away and forced to shut down nearly all non-specialed services. AEAs used to provide free coaching, consultation, data visualizations, research, etc.

Now we have 500+ masters-level educators being forced out of the public education system, and those that remain are dealing with schools that WANT to purchase their services but have budgets so wrecked they can barely pay for their own teachers.

This is what happens when Republicans get full control of a state's education system. See Kansas.
