If you are remodeling, or under new construction, Green Glue is a must for soundproof wall and ceilings.

Now that all being said, you might ask, what exactly is Green glue? Well, I am glad you asked. Green Glue is a visco elastic damping compound that is sandwiched between 2 layers of drywall. Basically if you already have 1 layer of drywall installed as in a retro fit, you would lay out a second sheet of drywall on saw horses and apply 3 tubes of Green Glue sound damping compound to the surface of the new drywall. You will apply the Green Glue with a large quart size caulk gun. Cut the tip of the Green Glue tube to where you will be squirting out a 1/4′” bead onto the drywall. Once you have applied three tubes of the Green Glue to your 4’ X 8’ sheet of drywall, you will then screw the Green Glue laden drywall directly over top of the existing drywall sandwiching the Green Glue compound between the 2 layers of drywall. You will want to screw the drywall screws down as tightly as possible without pulling them through the drywall itself. By screwing the drywall down tightly you will force the Green glue into the existing drywall as well as the new drywall. The Green Glue will damp both drywalls so that they will virtually have not resonant frequency and thus not be able to pass the sound from the floor above or through a common party wall.

That’s all there is to Green Glue in a nutshell. It is undoubtedly the best soundproofing agent on the market today. Green Glues ability to deal with low frequency noise makes it unique among all soundproofing products and materials on the market today.

There are many Orange County Public Schools systems throughout the nation. There are Orange Counties in Virginia, North Carolina, California, and Florida to name a few. Issues and challenges may vary from Orange County Schools to Orange County Schools, but the basic drive is the same – to give students the best quality education possible.

Orange County Schools in Orlando are no exception. School choice, as mandated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, is present throughout these Orange County Schools. Improvements in reading education and reading fluency are also hot topics.

It may be hard to believe that a school district could raise the reading scores of struggling students by as much as two grade levels each year, but Orange County Schools are doing just that. The most challenging group of students to bring up to grade level are students in middle and upper grades. These Orange County Schools students are a lot less motivated, and have even lost a lot of their trust in the learning process, believing they are too dumb to learn. Many educators have come to realize that it’s going to take extreme measures to change such these students’ lives. Interventions are required at all levels – from the superintendent’s office on down to the humble classroom. One Orange County Schools intervention that has been put into place – with amazing results – is the Orange County Literacy Project.

In addition, a recent report was solicited by Orange County Schools from the Phyllis C. Hunter Consulting Firm. The firm recently presented an evaluation of the Orange County Schools, and how the district can best improve its reading instruction. The report, entitled “Reading Leadership in a Standards-based Reform”, covered numerous aspects that need to be addressed. Among them:

-All students have the right to reading instruction that enables them to meet high standards

-A Comprehensive Reading Program includes these six elements:

(1) Phonemic and phonological awareness

(2) Systematic phonics

(3) Vocabulary and background knowledge

(4) Fluency

(5) Comprehension

(6) Motivation



-Necessary criteria for increasing reading achievement:

(1) Minimum of 90 minutes of protected time for reading instruction to close the gap

(2) Smaller class sizes for intervention (15 to 20 students per class) to individualize and adjust instruction for all students

(3) Technology in classrooms to create a scope and sequence of individualized instruction for all students

(4) Commitment, by administrators, to learning about reading process instruction and what it looks like in a successful classroom

(5) Continual professional development for intervention program teachers

In accordance with a 1970 court order enacted by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, Orange County Schools offers its students and parents many avenues of school choice. They are:

What goes on in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas, right? You can be as wild as you want to, party and drink until the sun comes up and hang at the pool everyday.

This all may be true, nonetheless, there are still certain things you don’t do while you’re here. Here’s just a brief list of the top seven:

1) DON’T get rude to the wait staff: These people have emotions, kids and employers. Even bouncers/bartenders/dealers/cocktail waitresses have their boundaries! Think about this, you may be there to have a good time but they have to follow the rules.

2) DON’T dance on the bar, the tables, the chairs: You will only have a chance to be up there for approximately thirty seconds – the precise amount of time it will take for the bouncer to walk over to you and tell you to get down. Don’t climb up on any part

article of furniture unless you spot other people doing it. And don’t believe because they have professional dancers performed on stage that you can join them. This is a definite way of getting escorted out of the nightclub.

3) DON’T forget to tip. The staff lives almost totally on tips and their real daily wage is somewhere around minimum wage. If you don’t tip at all you should anticipate really bad table service and a swarm of animosity to linger close to you. Cocktail waitresses and bartenders will really avoid you. Dealers and slot attendants should be given a tip when you win, and the valet and cocktail waitresses should be tipped always.

The only difference between a good tip and a horrible tip is a couple of dollars.

4) DON’T jaywalk across Las Vegas Blvd. Intoxicated tourists are killed each year when they try to duck the taxicabs, cars and drive-in tourists that speed down the road at 60+ mph. However, if you’re not concerned with your safety, maybe the cops handing you a $250 jaywalking ticket will. Millions of dollars has been spent by Clark County funding the pedestrian overpasses. Utilize them.

5) DON’T make a move on a cocktail waitress. Guys: They may be in skimpy dresses and they may be acting kinda flirty with you, but that’s because that’s what their paid to do. Their warm smiles and friendly salutations are what their employers tell them to do and these behaviors don’t imply that they like you/are falling in love you/desire to make out you.

Hitting on them will get you nowhere but make them to roll their eyes as they walk away. Simply enjoy the drinks, the laughter and the “scenery�

and forget about anyone else.

6) DON’T dress like a slut. Girls: Please do not snatch up the tiniest dress you own, which barely fit you 5 years ago, or use your holiday as an excuse to purchase a new hoochie dress from Charlotte Russe that doesn’tcompletely

cover all your bits and pieces. If you are 40+, don’t shop there.

If you think this isn’t applicable to you, then it most likely does.

You will look and feel self-conscious and as a result wind up drinking more to stifle the insecurity. You may be aiming for sexy but if you have love-handles you will be able to se it through that shirt or worse yet, roll up and showbelow that shirt. Gross. Nobody needs to look at that. Dress appealing, not slutty – there’s a difference.

7) DON’T be a jerk. You’re not Joe Pesci in Casino and nobody will think you are cool because you are acting like a ego-tistical jackass. Don’t walk around and pretend like you are the big man in Las Vegas unless you are actually P. Diddy or Janet Jackson. If you are reading this, you probably aren’t them.
