About U-Haul
U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S. customers.

Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable.

Featuring-Teresa Collins Everyday Moments
Along with that refocus is a renewed effort on my part to send birthday cards! What's that saying- The Shoemaker's kids never have shoes? That's my poor family and friends. The rarely get their birthday cards on time. LOL! Well this is one card that is going to be ready!!! A gal pal of mine (a fellow Upstate New Yorker living in MA) has a birthday coming up in February and this frosty fella is a fun way to say happy birthday. :)
The hills were cut freehand using paper from an Everyday Moments 6x6 pad. The patterns in 6x6 pads are great for smaller projects like this because the designs are scaled down and less overwhelming on a card. Since this is a clean-ish design, the pattern and some foam tape add the dimension. The foam taped hills also made it possible to tuck Mr. Snow amongst the hills, which totally adds to the cuteness factor.
Hope wherever you are you are staying warm, and if you are somewhere that doesn't get snow- enjoy this frosty viewing!

On one side of that line would be acceptance that bringing the United States back to a more fiscally sustainable condition will require compromise. According to Obama's wish, the other side — let's call it cannibalizing government while comforting the 1 percent — will be toxic to all but the most partisan Republican lawmakers.
Obama told the AP that "for me to be able to say to the Republicans, the election is over; you no longer need to be focused on trying to beat me; what you need to be focused on and what you should have been focused on from the start is how do we advance the American economy — I'm prepared to make a whole range of compromises, some of which I get criticized from the Democratic Party on, in order to make progress. But we're going to need compromise on your side as well. And the days of viewing compromise as a dirty word need to be over because the American people are tired of it."
To his credit, Obama is hoping for the best. We should all hope for the same. Regardless of which party wins power in November, the best path forward to balancing our books is a smart combination of tax increases and spending cuts.
Tapping the brakes — if not slamming them — has become the first legislative impulse of our elected representatives in Washington. It's become standard for the party out of power to simply repeat the word "no," while stalling until the time when it is favored by the public. Such has always been the case in Washington, but the years since Bill Clinton became president have witnessed a slow decline of what was already a tiresome and inefficient legislative process.
The Obama years have produced an intensity that has turned "compromiser" into the worst Republican slur imaginable. The nation's budget crisis has stagnated as Republicans held out hope that the next election will turn in their favor. Of course, Republicans are doing their best this week to obscure the fact that the last time they controlled the White House and Congress, their low-taxes/low-regulation policies contributed to the great economic crash of 2008.
In many ways, the current presidential debate is about helping the nation recover from that calamity. The president is correct; once the election is over, it will be time for all sides to work together.

Provided that all required forms have been received by the appropriate deadlines, students will learn of their financial aid eligibility on June 13 at 3 p.m. online through their personalized My Hamilton website. If your financial aid application was submitted after the posted deadline, you will be notified of your award eligibility in the order that your application was received by the Financial Aid Office. It is important to remember that students will only receive notification of their eligibility online – they will not receive any paper notification. If your financial aid application is incomplete, you will not receive notification of your financial aid eligibility until you have submitted all the required documentation to the Financial Aid Office.
Financial aid packages at Hamilton are comprised of two types of aid: scholarship and self-help (loans and work-study). Each type of aid works in slightly different ways.
Scholarships and grants are financial aid that does not need to be repaid, and they will be applied to the comprehensive fee on your bill each semester, not paid to you directly. Information on the specific kinds of scholarships you may receive at Hamilton can be found on our Scholarships page. By applying for financial aid, you will automatically be considered for all Hamilton scholarships. Students are encouraged to pursue outside scholarships unaffiliated with Hamilton to complement their financial aid package.
Loans (Direct Student Loans) are a type of self-help financial aid that is borrowed from the US Department of Education and must be repaid to the US Department of Education. There are two types of Direct Student Loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. Subsidized loans do not accrue interest until six months after the graduation of the student receiving the loan, and unsubsidized loans will begin accruing interest as soon as they are disbursed to the college. Loans disburse and are applied to your bill each semester instead of being paid directly to you. Loans should be considered a vital investment by the student in his or her college education. More information about loans can be found on our Student Loan page.
Work-study, another component of self-help financial aid, is the estimated earnings of the student from campus employment. Work-study is not paid to the student in advance, but is accrued through biweekly paychecks given directly to the student based on actual hours worked. These paychecks are not applied to your bill. Keep in mind that work-study financial aid is an estimate, not a guarantee, and is based on an average of ten hours per week in a campus job. More information about work-study at Hamilton can be found on our Work-Study page. Additional information about campus employment can be found on the Student Employment Office website.

The Graduate Diploma is a concentrated form of the undergraduate degree and gives graduates of other disciplines the opportunity to transfer their skills to the study of history of art.
The core programme is built round lectures that provide a grounding in the history of art from late Antiquity to the present day. The lectures also explore approaches and methods used in art history and students can explore these further in the other elements of the programme.
On graduating, students will be:
- exposed to and understand a wide range of specialisms within History of Art
- well placed to take an MA in History of Art
Key Facts
- Full time
- 27 students
- 1 year
- English
- Home & EU fee: £8,530
- Overseas fee: £13,990
The Graduate Diploma is structured into four elements:
- The Foundation Lecture Course
- One Period Course
- One Texts and Contexts Course
- One Topic Course
Detailed information about the aims and objectives of the course can be found in the full programme specification below:
Graduate Diploma - Lecture Series
Lecture Series run throughout the year in conjunction with focused study. Courses are designed to offer you a broad coverage of the periods, regions, materials and approaches to western art and architecture from antiquity to the present. These are supported by weekly discussion classes. The trajectory of the Lectures change annually but a recent program is as follows:
This is a series of fifty-four lectures given by the staff of the Institute. It deals with major themes and issues in the history of Western art.
The lectures are organised into nine blocks of six lectures each. Seven of the blocks introduce you to the art and issues involved in the study of particular periods; the other two introduce you to the physical history of works of art, and to questions raised by looking beyond the normal frontiers of Western art.
Graduate Diploma - Period Course
Period Courses introduce students to more specialised investigation and enable them to develop critical thinking and extend their detailed knowledge of art historical periods. Students will select one period course in the Autumn Term. The options offered change annually but recently have included:
Narrative Histories of Nineteenth-Century Art: Art in France c.1840-1900
This course introduces students to the French art world of the mid to later nineteenth century. It deals with the development of art in the period from a historiographical perspective, by juxtaposing the conventional narrative of modern art, presented in terms of successive, progressive art movements, with the alternative views of the history of the period which have recently challenged this linear history. A broad range of topics will be considered, including the evolution of the realist mode, the role of state art policy, the Salon and alternative exhibition spaces, the 'Haussmannisation' of Paris, and the artistic relevance of photography. Each will provide opportunities to weigh up their relative significance as well as to question the values and assumptions underlying different versions of their history. Throughout, questions of style are explored in the context of institutional frameworks, the language of art criticism and theory, and the wider political implications of the debates.
Seventeenth-Century Art in the Courts of Prague, Rome, Paris and Madrid
How did a courtly context shape the production of artworks during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Were the careers of artists at court substantially different from those who worked for other kinds of patrons? Focusing on graphic arts and decorative arts as well as painting and sculpture, we will study the relation between images and their social, cultural and intellectual contexts in four major courts. We will read about the political and religious issues at play in this period which saw the formation of absolutist governments, and we will study the primary literature on the courtier and courtly behaviour. The methods of social historians and anthropologists will be introduced in relation to recent studies of court culture. The role of the visual arts in multi-media court pageantry will be a thread followed through the course. Artists to be studied will include Caravaggio, Bernini, Goltzius, Callot, Le Brun, Velázquez.
Graduate Diploma - Texts and Contexts
Texts and Contexts courses are designed to develop your ideas about how works of art are made, altered, displayed and understood. These courses will involve close examination of key texts that will introduce you to art and its histories. Students will select one Texts and Contexts course in the Spring Term. The options offered change annually but recently have included:
Approaches to the Architecture of Michelangelo
This course will address the issue of art historical methodologies through close examination of a series of architectural projects undertaken by Michelangelo in the sixteenth century. The work of scholars on buildings and schemes such as the Medici Chapel (or New Sacristy) at S. Lorenzo and the Laurentian Library, both in Florence, highlights a range of different methodological approaches to the study not only of architecture and art history but also to the figure of the artist/architect. Thus, too, the course will also consider the creation and presentation of the biography of the artist, in particular the contemporary accounts by Vasari and Condivi, (students might also like to consider the well-known Carol Reed 1965 film of Irving Stone's novel The Agony and the Ecstasy). These are important not only for how they have fashioned our view of Michelangelo himself but also for broader constructs and understandings of the image and figure of 'the artist'.
Reading Hogarth
This course looks at the corpus of writing that has accumulated around the art of William Hogarth (1697-1764), the artist and print maker who was active in London in the middle decades of the eighteenth century. Readings will range from contemporary reactions to the most recent art historical scholarship. As we explore the posthumous development of Hogarthian commentary - and the lively and disputatious state of Hogarthian studies - a key aim is to investigate the sort of ideas that circulate (and continue to resonate) in the historiography.
Hogarth was celebrated and vilified during his lifetime and after his death a succession of texts fixed a number of different identities for the artist. He has been described as a moralist and a modernist; as a political artist and a comic artist. Increasingly, he has become the quintessential English artist. Hogarth has been fully assimilated into the national canon and more than any other artist he is has come to stand in for the eighteenth century. This course will look at the processes through which these positions were reached.
Graduate Diploma - Topic Course
Topic Courses are designed to offer broad coverage of the periods and regions of Western art, with a particular focus on works in London collections. Students will select one Topic Course in the Autumn Term. The options offered change annually but recently have included:
Photography in London Collections
This course introduces students to historical and contemporary photography in London collections and special exhibitions. Now ubiquitous in museum and gallery displays, photography was long regarded as documentation devoid of artistic value and excluded from or marginalized in institutional displays and collections. This course will consider how the perception and reception of the medium has changed, and how this shift is reflected in both historical and contemporary displays in London through lectures and visits to a range of art institutions. The course will consider the medium's relationship to different institutional mandates, with particular attention to how it is collected, displayed and interpreted in different venues and for different audiences. Students will also engage in literature relating to a wide scope of perspectives on fine art photography, offering an opportunity to examine the historical trajectory of photography's integration into the art world, as well as to think about current issues and strategies in relation to photography as contemporary art.
Sensory Encounters with Dress and Textiles
How do we experience clothing? The spaces and environments in which we wear and encounter clothes influence our responses to them. Clothing and textiles' tactile qualities are crucial to our experiences and perceptions of dress. Natural and synthetic fibres feel different against our skin, and affect our relationship to clothes. In addition, their visual impact is intrinsic to our reception and understanding and to the social and cultural values with which they are imbued. We experience dress and textiles through smell – from the fragrant oils added to seventeenth century gloves, to the pungent aroma of old, unwashed clothes, to the evocative scent of someone's skin on their clothes. Equally, we can hear our clothes – the rustle of full silk skirts, or the creaking sound of a leather jacket as we move. We will explore our perceptions of dress, fashion and textiles through examination of objects, images, novels, diaries and oral histories.
The Graduate Diploma is assessed on the following exams and written work in the third term:
- Foundation course (3 hr paper)
- Period course (3 hr paper)
- Texts & contexts course (2 hr paper)
- Essay (5000 words)

great product and value I was sorry to return this seat cover. I loved the look and the price and the convenient pockets in the front for leashes, etc. Unfortunately it did not fit my Acura MDX seat. June 5, 2011

Those are the lines I chant to myself when I serve veggies to my kids. They hate me at the beginning, but I'll get 'em in the end.
Eating well is an uphill battle, for sure. As a mom of three kids, each mealtime can be a frustrating and discouraging experience. Trust me, I am right there with you, doing what I can to train my troops to choose wisely when they eat.
But in the midst of the training, my kids still need the nutrients from a good diet. Aside from the daily multivitamin (which we use), another trick to get the veggies down the hatch is this:
Blend 'em into other foods.
I first learned this lesson with soup. My son would eat the potatoes, but none of the other offensive veggies. Well! One day I had an epiphany, and thought to puree everything but the potatoes, and then mix everything back together. Voila! He ate the soup right up. Today, since he is used to the flavor of onion, he will eat the soup "as is."
Other things I try? I sneak pureed peppers into spaghetti sauce, or spinach into smoothies. If this idea sounds like a lifesaver to you, make sure to check out Deceptively Delicious. It's filled with all sorts of foods to puree and camouflage among other things on the plate.
This trick is best used as a "bonus" way of getting kids to eat veggies versus the "standard operating procedure." It helps in the short-term, but the long-term goal is for your kids to eat vegetables as recognizable vegetables. Otherwise, the next thing we know, we'll have a whole generation of adults mysteriously craving baby food.
What about you? What are some ways you play "hide and sneak" with your vegetables?

Meanwhile, check out my first four tips in the "Getting Kids To Eat Veggies" series:
Bribe 'em with candy.
Make 'em clean their plates.
Take away the snacks.
Drown 'em in dips and sauces.
Stay tuned for more veggie eatin' hints next week. Five tips down; five more to go!

Beyond Blackface: African Americans and the Creation of American Popular Culture, 1890-1930: its cover features a color print of a poster promoting Haiti, the Federal Theater Project's (FTP)'celebration of the anticolonial revolution'. The old adage warns against judging books by their covers.
Fine. But in this post-palpable atmosphere of digitized letters, in which read-only text files are unzipped and consumed with increasing regularity, a book cover, when available, shouldn't go overlooked either. Produced by the FTP's Harlem Unit in 1938, Haiti, a story of black empowerment revived by William (no Burghardt) Du Bois enjoyed a 103-show run at the storied Lafayette Theater, (just two years after a 20-year old Orson Welles-directed version of 'Macbeth'—set in Haiti and with an all-black cast—opened to such fervor that 7thavenue had to be shut down for ten blocks in each direction of the theater) selling 'some 74,000 tickets' and prompting a theater reviewer to declare that Harlem had 'stole [n] some of Broadway's thunder' in Time's March issue that year.

(Oct 12, 2012) On September 24, 2012, the day that new provisions allowing access by individuals to Turkey's Constitutional Court came into effect, seven persons filed petitions with the Court. The aim of the newly applicable measures, which comprise articles 45 to 51 of the Law on the Establishment and Rules of Procedure of the Constitutional Court of Turkey (Law No. 6216), is to provide an alternative avenue for redress of grievances and thereby reduce the number of applications originating in
It is expected that from 50,000 to100,000 individual applications will be submitted to the
The Constitution prescribes under article 148 that individuals who claim that the state has violated their basic rights or freedoms, e.g., the right to life, the right to equality before the law, and freedom of expression, can file a lawsuit with the
Chapter 4 of Law No. 6216 is on individual petitions. It prescribes the right of individual application, reiterating and expanding upon the constitutional provision cited above, as well as stipulating the persons who are entitled to make such applications. (Law No. 6216, arts. 45 & 46.) Only "those whose actual and personal rights are directly affected by the alleged proceeding, act or negligence which has caused the violation" may file (art. 46(1)); public legal persons may not do so, and private law legal persons may apply "solely on the grounds that their rights concerning legal personality have been violated" (art. 46(2)). Foreigners are not permitted to file a suit with the Court "concerning rights exclusive to Turkish citizens" (art. 46(3)).
Other parts of Chapter 4 cover the application procedure; the admissibility and examination of individual applications; examination on the merits; judgments; and abuse of the right of application. According to the new Law, in general "individual applications may be filed directly or through courts or representations abroad," with admissibility of application through other modes to be governed by the related regulation on
A fee is payable for each application, in the amount of TL172.5 (about US$96). (
The Chambers conduct examination of admissible individual applications on the merits. (Law No. 6216, art. 49(1).) If an individual application is declared admissible, the Ministry of Justice is notified of it by means of a copy of the application for its information. (
The new system will undergo a two-year surveillance period to evaluate the effectiveness of the Court reform. During that time, "direct applications to the European court will be effectively closed." (Erkan, supra.)

Includes (4) modular units Suspension Strap, Stretch Strap and Resistance Bands NOT Included
The H2 Resistance Band Station is a wall mounted, modular resistance band training station that was developed to give sports, fitness and rehabilitative professionals the ability to utilize all types of resistance bands, suspension straps, Rotational Bodyweight Trainers™, and stretch straps to their full potential. The H2 offers a compact, space-saving modular set-up perfect for physical therapy offices, small commercial gyms and home gyms!
The H2 Plus System is a four-component modular system that can be configured for multiple users. In its basic configuration of a vertical stack, the H2 is designed for one or two users comfortably. By mounting each of the four components in separate locations, the H2 can accommodate up to three users exercising simultaneously! By adding a fourth H2 unit mounted at waist height, the H2 Plus System allows great anchoring angles when performing exercises using stability balls and large loop bands. No other piece of gym equipment offers the versatility, effectiveness and value of the H2 Resistance Band Station.
Anchoring Points: With six different anchoring points in a single column, from ankle height to above the head, the H2 allows users to perform hundreds of resistance band and suspension exercises, and dozens of dynamic stretches. The H2's anchoring system is a versatile platform that gives fitness and therapeutic professionals a powerful set of tools on the training floor.
Hammer Head Safety Hook: The H2 features the Hammer Head Safety Hook. With its t-bar barrier tip, the hook allows bands and straps to be pulled from every angle without slipping off of the hook. Users can exercise with confidence that their bands and straps are securely anchored. The hooks' rounded shape was designed for smooth transitions and ease of use. The neck of the hook is reinforced for added strength to accommodate "extra heavy" resistance bands, suspension straps and stretch straps. There are a total of 8 Hammer Head Safety Hooks – two on each H2 unit. Made of all steel components, the H2 is a space saving powerhouse capable of supporting up to 300 lbs. of resistance!
Resistance Bands: The H2 can be used with all types of resistance bands. Personal trainers can use medium to heavy bands to perform core crunching trunk rotations, chops and presses. With eight anchoring angles, therapists can use the H2 for a wide range of therapeutic exercises that, heretofore, were not possible. With the H2, it's as simple as looping a band over a "Hammer Head Safety Hook" and pulling. Finally, the days of attaching bands to everything and anything are over.
Click here to view the Resistance Band Station Exercise Poster (included with purchase)
H2 Specifications:
Anchoring and Threading Bands: With a total of 8 Hammer Head Safety Hooks spread over four components, the H2 Plus provides numerous options for anchoring resistance bands, suspension straps and stretch straps.
To reduce the length and tension of a resistance band, a user simply anchors the band on one hook and threads it through a second hook. The same applies to suspension or stretch straps.
For most exercises, especially those without vigorous dynamic movements, it is sufficient to simply loop the band over the hook. To increase safety, the user has the option of wrapping the band around the hook. This will form a closed loop around the hook providing a secure and safe anchor. Wrapping is recommended when performing vigorous dynamic exercises or exercises that require upward pulls or presses.
Note: The H2 Resistance Band Station is designed for use with rubber or latex resistance bands and cotton or nylon suspension and stretch straps. Do not fasten resistance bands to the Hammer Head Safety Hooks with metal clip hooks or other hooks made of hard materials. This has the potential to damage the coating on the hooks and cause premature wear.
Clip hooks, carabineers and other types of metal clip hooks can be used with the RBS D-Ring Attachment - One included FREE with purchase of H2 Resistance Band Station System (additional units sold separately).

Sign up and join a community that's passionate about exploring the world of entertainment & technology.
ACROSS THE CONTINENT, thousands are taking part in an almost-forgotten rite. It melds advanced technology, knowledge handed down through the decades, and a little dose of black magic. As most rituals do, it appalls many nonbelievers, but that fact only makes its practitioners relish it more.
How often has this happened to you? You walk into a friend's house and notice — yikes! — their loudspeakers are poorly aligned. Maybe they're pointing straight ahead, maybe they're toed way in, or maybe they're just pointing off in random directions. Whatever the problem, you'll note the missing sweet spot. But what can you do about it, without your gear? Well, there's an app for that.
Something's in the air — it must be time for some summer reading. Earlier this week we told you about the new edition of the Rotel Ultimate Guide to High Performance Home Theater. And a reader recently asked me what books he should read to learn more about audio and video. I am unabashedly stealing this idea for an article.
After all, we all learned this stuff somewhere.
From entry level to advanced, here's a list of many things for the book learnin'.
Somewhere between a simple setup disc and a full professional calibration is the Spyder from Datacolor.
Consisting of a small colorimeter you attach to your TV, some software, and a Blu-ray (or DVD) with test patterns, the package claims to let you "calibrate" (their word) your own TV.
One of the most common requests I get by email, and in comments on reviews, is to share what picture settings I've used to achieve the best image.
To put it bluntly: no. This isn't because my settings are some big secret, it's because I honestly believe sharing them is a bad idea, and I'd be doing more harm than good.
And once I list the reasons why, you may even agree with me.
You have at least two listening rooms. Even if you live in a studio apartment, you have at least two listening rooms. Well, in a sense. Every listening room is, in essence, two listening rooms when you look at it from the perspective of sound.
In order to get the transition between your subwoofer and your main speakers close to perfect, you need measurement gear. Measurement makes your sub setup faster and more accurate. Instead of listening to bass lines to gauge the evenness of your bass response, you just run a quick measurement and get a precise result.
Like marching and making your bunk, bass management looks easy. But sometimes there's a huge difference between doing seemingly straightforward tasks, and doing them right.

Two Delicious Days To Make Up For Working The Other Five
Between my job and being a parent, I work quite a bit. Correction I work a lot. Which is easy to do because I enjoy it.
Unfortunately, this creates a dilemma. While my creative side loves preparing great meals and coincidently writing about them as a hobby, my practical side understands the concept of time. Or lack thereof given a busy workweek.
Enter the weekend.
AKA two foodie filled days that make up for working the other five.
I suspect there are others like me out there. Weekend kitchen warriors who can't wait for Saturday and Sunday to come around so the delicious fun can begin.
So why not share my experiences? Hopefully you'll do the same. Even though we don't really know each other just quite yet. We already have something in common.
Our love of food. So let's dig in.

Of Yoga?
Downward dog could have a real benefit for people with irregular heartbeats, according to a small new study.
Researchers from the University of Kansas Hospital and Medical Center found that yoga seems to improve symptoms and quality of life for people with atrial fibrillation. The findings are published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Atrial fibrillation occurs when the heart doesn't beat as it's supposed to -- potentially leading to symptoms of weakness, shortness of breath, confusion, chest pains and heart palpitations, according to the Mayo Clinic. The condition itself isn't usually fatal, but can lead to complications including stroke and heart failure.
The new study included 52 people with occasional atrial fibrillation (called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, meaning it's not a chronic condition and the heart doesn't always beat abnormally) who underwent standard medical treatment for their heart condition for three months, and then participated in a yoga practice (an hour of yoga twice a week, at least) for the following three months. Forty-nine people completed the study.

Led by Bengt Berger who had studied a couple of years in Ghana, the band based a lot of the music on the funeral music concept of the Lo-Birifor people of northern Ghana.The band did its first cd, Bitter Funeral Beer, on ECM and then one more, Praise Drumming (vinyl only) on the swedish Dragon label.

UNION — Despite rainy weather, nearly 500 children participated in Saturday's J.A.K.E.S. Public Safety/Fun Day on Saturday.
The annual J.A.K.E.S. (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) Public Safety/Fun Day was hosted at Foster Park on Saturday, after the lake had been stocked with 2,400 pounds of catfish.
"It went really well," said Jessica Gallman of Union County Parks and Recreation. "It rained almost the entire time, but the kids really enjoyed it."
Gallman said a total of 471 children were registered during Saturday's event.
Union County Recreation Director Becky Cobb said the event continues to grow each year. The event is a joint effort on the parts of Union County Parks and Recreation, City of Union Public Safety, the Piedmont Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), the U.S. Forest Service, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Attractions included fire trucks, police vehicles, a Smoke House, a rock wall and a DNR "Take One, Make One" fishing simulator, a Union County 4-H BB gun station, a camouflage station and a reptile exhibit — conducted by Stuart Jones — provided by the Piedmont Chapter of the NWTF.
"This is probably the only time some of these kids will get to fish, shoot a BB gun, shoot a bow and arrow and be in the outdoors," said Steve Cobb of both the U.S. Forest Service and the Piedmont Chapter of the NWTF.
Children's names were drawn throughout the day to receive prizes provided by DNR, which received considerable discounts from Academy Sports and Outdoors.

Hey Gilbert mom - you and the fringe seem to only utilize the facts you want to use to support your arguments and the school, such as HJHS, that you want to support your school or causes- not ALL of the Gilbert students. Looking at only one factor like retention rate - which in the case of GCA could be misleading since it goes through HS unlike the other junior highs - I don't really know but probably a fact you might want to look into and compare it to other similar programs around the state or country - apples to apples comparison. My guess is GJHS is has a higher special education population since the school has what is needed when the district looks to house programs - space, since it is the most underutilized GJH in terms of population - my guess is many/most brought in from outside of the school boundaries. I understand this is how the district looks to optimize these programs and spaces at schools across the district. And isn't GJHS the only "C" rated JH in the district - how many families with junior high age children have boundary exemptions to LEAVE and go elsewhere - that is another fact that should be part of the discussion - versus how many boundary exemptions coming in to GJHS? Unlike what you and the fringe group commentators may think, I am not a GCA parent (never have been, never will be) nor a HJHS parent (again- never have been, never will be) nor a former board member nor a teacher or principal in the district - just a concerned parent and taxpayer in Gilbert that wants NO special interest group get in the way of what is best for ALL of our children. As far as criticizing board members/performance and Administration - it certainly seems fair game for you and the fringe group to do when it's in your interest - so don't preach to others what you don't practice. I will certainly continue to be involved and ensure all of our elected officials uphold their responsibilities to the ENTIRE community, not just special interest groups.
Leon, Leon, Leon.
Your fantasy of charter school kids as uniformed, well-behaved little munchkins is a bit -- as per usual with you -- out of touch.
Yep, there are charter schools like that.
But why don't you cruise along Lindsay Road, just north of Southern, and watch the kids from the Sun Valley High Charter School pour out of class. And note the Mesa Police Department's cars around the school on a regular basis.
In fact, why don't you check out any of the Leona Group's "alternative" charter schools, and then get back to us.
By the way, if you DID go to Catholic schools, then the Sisters should've nailed you for spelling "grammer" instead of "grammar."
Not too late, though, Leon. Maybe you can take a refresher course at Sun Valley.
If the Letter Writer wants her kids to speak Spanish, then she should teach them Spanish at home. Our schools barely have the time for students to learn their required subjects in ....ENGLISH. This is the United States of America...not Mexico, not Guatamala, not Honduras and not El Salvador. Our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and US Code of Laws are in English not Spanish.
Just look at the students and faculty of a Charter School to see the difference in the Educational Environment. Charter School teachers dressed in a business-like fashion. Charter School students in uniforms with...."normal"...haircuts and hairstyles. No teachers or students in Charter Schools with neon green, neon orange, neon red or neon purple dyed hair, corn-rows, Afro's, spikes or mohawks.
No smoking, gang-signs, bullying or cursing after school which, sadly, is the norm at our Local Public Schools.
Catholic schools used to be the alternative to Public Schools when I was going to grammer school but now most families just don't have the time or money needed meet all the requirements of these schools.
Ha ha. More hate for Charter schools from EVT and lib parents. If you like public schools, use them. Please give be 'pro-choice' and let me choose charter schools for my kids. If my charter school of choice is a "cash cow" for someone, I am certainly getting my money's worth based on the RESULTS. Not the INTENTIONS.
Learn the difference. Repeat after me, INTENTIONS are no substitute for RESULTS.
I would hardly call Gilbert Classical Academy's retention rate of under 50% "highly successful". It also costs more to educate a child at GCA than children at other district schools. You cannot argue that GCA's test scores are higher than other schools, but their special education population is around .02%. By comparison, Gilbert Junior High School has over 20% of it's population enrolled in some sort of special education program. Please stick with the facts and instead of criticizing our new board members, by all means, get involved with the process. But, please, only do so if you have the best intentions of ALL students who attend Gilbert Public Schools at heart. Because, isn't the purpose of public education to serve everyone?
Watch out Gilbert - your excelling "A" district is about to come crashing down thanks to the newly elected members of the GPS board. Despite being a top district in the state and having a promising future, the new board seems intent on settling for mediocrity at best...rescinding a vote to close the district's only "C" junior high and thus limiting growth for the highly successful Gilbert Classical Academy. Now looking at their first action being firing of the Superintendant. So now we'll see - this group campaigned on GPS being wasteful and having enough funding and voting down the override - and transparency. Now they are "restudying" the closure, diverting funds for the Board to have their own legal counsel, and passing resolutions that limit distribution of Board emails to those in the Administration. The divide is big and growing - and a lack of professionalism by certain members of the Board (go see their postings on the "Gilbert Rabid Fringe" Facebook page), their inability to function in their first several meetings and what looks to be a total removal from reality on what the Gilbert Public Schools need is leading to a disaster - and it's a true shame. Get smart and get involved Gilbert - it's your community and your children.
I have three kids in MPS system. I think it is a good school system.
My concern is that for profit, and even "non-profit", charter schools are diverting money that does not go toward the child's education and that many people and even some STATE LEGISLATORS are using as cash cows at the expanse of the children.
I like MPS!

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!

Lance Armstrong will make a limited confession to doping during his televised interview with Oprah Winfrey next week, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Armstrong, who has long denied doping, will also offer an apology during the interview scheduled to be taped Monday at his home in Austin, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no authorization to speak publicly on the matter.
While not directly saying he would confess or apologize, Armstrong sent a text message to The Associated Press early Saturday that said: "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
The 41-year-old Armstrong, who vehemently denied doping for years, has not spoken publicly about the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report last year that cast him as the leader of a sophisticated and brazen doping program on his U.S. Postal Service teams that included use of steroids, blood boosters and illegal blood transfusions.
The USADA report led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and given a lifetime ban from the sport.
Several outlets had reported that Armstrong was considering a confession. The interview will be broadcast Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network and oprah.com.
A confession would come at a time when Armstrong is still facing some legal troubles.
Armstrong faces a federal whistle-blower lawsuit filed by former teammate Floyd Landis accusing him of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service, but the U.S. Department of Justice has yet to announce if it will join the case. The British newspaper The Sunday Times is suing Armstrong to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit.
A Dallas-based promotions company has threatened to sue Armstrong to recover more than $7.5 million it paid him as a bonus for winning the Tour de France.
But potential perjury charges stemming from his sworn testimony denying doping in a 2005 arbitration fight over the bonus payments have passed the statute of limitations.
Armstrong lost most of his personal sponsorship -- worth tens of millions of dollars -- after USADA issued its report and he left the board of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity he founded in 1997. He is still said to be worth an estimated $100 million.
Livestrong might be one reason to issue an apology or make a confession. The charity supports cancer patients and still faces an image problem because of its association with its famous founder.
Armstrong could also be hoping a confession would allow him to return to competition in elite triathlon or running events, but World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what new information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.
Armstrong met with USADA officials recently to explore a "pathway to redemption," according to a report by "60 Minutes Sports" aired Wednesday on Showtime.

Hey I am kinda new to Skimboarding but I had some questions about Roush skims and boards in general? I found this Surftech/Roush Morphius - 51" epoxy for $265 . I am 6'1" 185lbs. I was wondering how roush compares to other skims and if this one in particular is the right size/type for my build.
Secondly is it really worth it for wave skim riding to get S-glass/carbon products vs. a lower end Eglass? Basically as a relative newb to wave skim riding is there a noticeable difference between them?
Last question is about board length. Besides certain size for weight classes, what does different board lengths do in terms of catching waves and what is generally a good length?
Thanks for replies in advance I know its a lot of Q's, but any input will help me out!

Revaluation is the process of reappraising all properties within the county for tax assessment purposes. It is required at least once every eight years by North Carolina statute. The process has two objectives: value properties at current market prices, and equitably distribute the cost of local government among the property owners. For more information, go to The Revaluation Process. REVIEWING YOUR NEW PROPERTY VALUE
What IS a reasonable estimate of market value for my property? What factors should be considered? How did the Assessor's Office arrive at their conclusion? Property owners today have a number of resources they can use to answer these questions. The following steps describe how you can use each to review your own property. Property Characteristics The Assessor's Office maintains information on every property in the County in a database. Each property has a record that describes the land and improvements (buildings, patios, decks, walls, fencing and other features). Although appraisers use their training and technology tools (aerial imagery, statistical modeling, e.g.) to list and value each property, an individual appraiser is responsible for almost 14,000 parcels. Therefore property owners should review their property records periodically to insure the information is accurate. Several tools are available to assist owners:
Real Estate Lookup. This tool allows easy searching for properties using a variety of of criteria. Click for tutorial. Property Record Feedback Tool. Similar to Real Estate Lookup, this tool retrieves information from the County's property records, and displays it in a form that allows users to enter comments on each attribute, including sketch data. When complete, the user can "send" the information to the Assessor's Office for review. Click for tutorial. Neighborhood Characteristics
Neighborhood Characteristics
Properties in the same neighborhood usually have very similar characteristics: style of house, size, land area, quality of construction, and location. Therefore owners can compare their values with others close to them. The Market Analysis tool is a convenient way to do this. Click for tutorial. Market Characteristics Most property values are derived from recent sales of comparable properties. The Assessor's Office reviewed all sales across the County for the last several years, and even further, when sales were scarce. Their analysis of value used qualified sales – those sales that were arms length transactions between knowledgeable, willing buyers and sellers. The effect of foreclosures and other known distressed sales were factored into the final adjusted value estimate. Owners can look at the qualified sales near their own homes. They must realize that these sales are NOT necessarily "comparable" sales, i.e., sales of properties similar to their own. Use the Reval – Qualified Sales tool to find these sales. Click for tutorial. Property Anomalies There may be other factors that you feel would influence the value of your property, which may not be evident to the Assessor's Office. There might be a material condition of your home or land that would lead buyers to pay a lower price than they would for a similar property. Owners can use the POLARIS application to graphically or pictorially (using the County's aerial imagery) map such instances, and provide the Assessor's Office with valuable information to review regarding your property value. Some tips...
Appealing Your Property Value After reviewing all the information you have available to you, you may decide that it does not support the new assessed value of your property. You may file an informal appeal with the Assessor's Office within 30 days of the date of your notice. The notice itself has a form that can be removed and submitted for this purpose. Using this form insures that your appeal is correctly recorded in your property record at the County. Property owners wishing to appeal should provide all the information they can on the form. Some tips are provided to help them present their case clearly for the Assessor's Office to review. Internet Tools Property Record Feedback Tool - Displays property record information and provides comment fields to provide feedback on attributes and sketches to Assessor's Office. Real Estate Lookup - Property record information is displayed from the County's database of real property listings, based on common search criteria. Market Analysis - Compare a number of properties by location, displaying listing information and value. Reval - Qualified Sales - Developed for the revaluation, this tool displays all qualified sales (arms length transactions used for revaluation) over the last two years, in proximity to an entered address. POLARIS - Parcel information is displayed graphically through the Property Ownership and Land Records Information System, using the County's Geographic Information System (GIS) integrated with aerial imagery. Tax Bill Lookup - Information from the County's North Carolina Property Tax System (NCPTS) is displayed through its Public Web Access (PWA). The Revaluation Process (Top of Page) Over time, the real estate market changes and market prices deviate from the assessed values estimated during the previous reappraisal. The last reappraisal in Mecklenburg County was in 2003. The County delayed revaluation for two years due to the economy but it had to conduct a revaluation in 2011, to be in compliance with state statutes . The Mecklenburg County Assessor's Office has a specialized team of 7 appraisers and a manager that conducts the review of all properties for reappraisal. The staff has 140 years of experience in the appraisal field, and is familiar with the valuation of all property types. All members of the team are certified in real estate appraisal by the North Carolina Department of Revenue, and several hold certification for independent fee appraisal work, as well. The team is acutely aware of the changes in the real estate market since 2007, when the subprime crisis appeared and values began to fall in many areas. The team also knows that market prices are not where they were two years ago. It's important to understand that, while the market has generally declined since late 2007, most market prices in the county are still somewhat higher than they were in 2003 – the year of the last countywide revaluation. The Assessor's team will monitor market data all the way to the end of December 2010, when value estimates will be finalized prior to mailing notices to property owners. For more information, browse the resources below. Media Presentations 2011 Revaluation - This overview was presented at the Board of County Commissioners' regular meeting of September 21, 2010.
