Hey everyone!
So firstly, now that the new Oddball ep is out I just want to quickly thank everyone for the constructive comments and praise I've received. I didn't expect my voice to be as well received as it has! I'm currently working on a demo reel, but my mic is pretty shabby and I need a new one and to find an area to work with it.
Then today when I came online I discovered I have 13 fans which is an exciting prospect for me :D I don't however use my Newgrounds account very often because I'm more involved with other media and mostly use newgrounds as a platform to point people in the right direction! So if you're interested in seeing more stuff from me the best places to go are:
Twitter: @KyraWolf289
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?annot ation_id=annotation_435161&feature=iv&src_vid=1Y xwP3CLFYg&add_user=kyrawolf289
They are the two main platforms that I use and will also contain links to other various sites that I'm on until I have the time to start on my blog.
I hope you all have a great day!
PS If you would like me to do some VAing for you then feel free to drop me a message :)

Blog / Freediving Work best Under the sea Pursuits
Wednesday, 21 September 2011 at 07:43
The only thing that you really should don't forget is the proper scuba equipment, the proper scuba diving suit, and other scuba diving accessories, and how to survive underwater.
You can experience all the exciting that scuba diving promises provided you are in a position to recognize what basic safety is all about underwater. Even though scuba diving activity can be most exciting and thrilling to consider, as soon as you confront the seascapes beneath the seawater the experience could be a good deal distinct. If you're not seasoned sufficient in the activity, you might discover your self lacking the ability to embrace the genuine essence that diving need to suppose to offer you with. Even skilled and seasoned divers do not believe they have plenty of understanding. In simple fact, they never contradict the concept of continually equipping themselves with a new knowledge or two.
The sea globe is not for humans, but fairly to sea creatures. People are not like these creatures that have total knowing on the planet underwater which accounts on how they survive on their individual. The sea masks a very deceptive façade. It may be fascinating to search at on its surface area but when you descend into its actual entire world you will locate its genuine inhospitable nature exactly where sea creatures that inhabit it can be traitors to people. It is for this make any difference that divers should be capable to understand of the unreceptive sea globe simply because security is the actual issue here.
If you think you are not able but to carry on with underwater activities, it would be very best for you to consider scuba diving lessons. You can enroll in scuba diving colleges and there you can obtain all you need to have to know about the seawater adventure. Lessons will tackle every little thing commencing from the correct putting on of the scuba diving gears this sort of as the air tanks, gauges and facemasks to jumping into the h2o with total gear on. If you might be a neophyte in the activity, you might feel weird and peculiar swimming with these fits and gears on but you will outgrow this feeling.
Scuba diving colleges typically use pool dives as their amenities from which scuba diving students are trained very first. This is the component of the lesson from which you can uncover if you received the prospective to grow to be a professional in the business. The regular starter scuba diving course will normally take four to 8 weeks of instruction. For the duration of this time, you should be in a position to understand plenty of to take your initial recreational scuba diving exercise. Failure to do so would imply taking one more program of the lesson.
Underwater cameras are developed to seize the gorgeous daily life that exists beneath the oceans. They are developed for nonetheless and video clip photography of marine life. Usually, they are housed in a gadget that safeguards them from the drinking water and ocean stress. They are obtainable in different styles and at varying charges and they can be rented.

One particular of the greatest-known brand names of underwater cameras is Canon. On an typical they consider about 20 to thirty photographs.


text: The Supreme Court decided this week the case of Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons. The opinion will undoubtedly have a large impact on intellectual property law. This case deals with a Thai national who was subsidizing his college tuition in the U.S. by having his relatives in Thailand buy textbooks for cheap, shipping them to him in the US, and then selling the text books to Americans on sites such as eBay. He made about a $100,000 profit off this enterprise. Eventually, the publisher caught wind, and sued. This enterprise is known as the "gray market". Exploiting the price differential between the US and overseas can be quite profitable. The legality of this practice differs depending on the type of good being sold. Prior to this ruling, on copyrighted goods purchased overseas, most judges were ruling against the gray marketeers. Kirtsaeng argued that the 'first sale doctrine' creates an exception that validates his actions. The "first sale doctrine" in copyright law permits the owner of a lawfully purchased copy of a copyrighted work to resell it. Once you buy a copy of something, you own that copy. You can do as you wish with it. This is codified at 17 U.S.C. § 109(a) of the Copyright Act of...Learn More

This was a freak show of a performance by Guillen. Plain and simple. And don't tell me you haven't seen lots of players have big contract years only fall on thier arse the very next year.
It happens all of the time.
I'm not sure Harang is going to be a savior. How could we know the answer? I do like the fact that he's 25, major league ready, and has something of an upside.
What did the Reds have before they CLAIMED GUILLEN OFF OF WAIVERS? Certianly not Harang and Joe Valentine. That turned out to be a pretty good waiver wire claim.

Sex Machineguns
*I did a search, and they've been mentioned a few times, but perhaps not enough. And not on their own, either, it seems.*
Any other fans of Sex Machineguns, and by extension, Anchang, Circuit V. Panther, and Elleguns?
I'm not really big into J-rock and such (mostly due to not knowing what to look for), but man, I love these guys! So much talent! I'm a big fan of Buckethead (as some may be able to tell by my signature), and I keep mentioning these guys to people at a Buckethead forum I post at, especially Panther. I wish more people knew these guys. They'd love 'em!

Election Night Fruit Cake: From Ruth Finney, Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance Second Helpings, National Press Club. This white fruit cake has been a great success at all-night gatherings to keep track of vote tabulations. I baked on in 1960 to take to the office, where we worked all night and ate a picnic supper provided by various women on the staff. Also on election day before the polls close, I find there is a big vacuum. The job of preparing and mixing the ingredients for this fussy cake is a good way to fill it.
- 2 ½ cups sifted flour
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 ½ cups candied fruits and raisins*
- 1 cup butter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- Line a pan with tube in center with wax paper, greasing both pan and paper.
- In a mixing bowl use a generous amount of the flour to shake over fruits and nuts, stirring them around to make sure all have some flour coating.
- Thoroughly cream butter and sugar; beat in eggs, one by one.
- Sift together baking powder, salt and flour. To the egg mixture add flour mixture and milk alternately. Be sure not to forget the flavoring – vanilla and lemon. Add nuts and fruits.
- Spoon cake mixture carefully into tube pan so fruit will not settle to the bottom. Handle the pan carefully. Bake at least 1 ½ hours in a slow oven – 225 degrees. If top starts to get too brown before cake is cooked through, place a lid or cookie sheet over it. Cake is best eaten when freshly cooked. *Choose among these: Dark seeded or white seedless raisins; candied pineapple, orange and lemon peel; cherries, citron. Or use mixed fruit as combined in little jars. But don't forget some raisins.

IMG-Reliance have approached the Karnataka State Football Association (KSFA) to help their register one of the teams under the banner of 'Bangalore United'.
A.R.Khaleel, the president of KSFA, informed Goal that the state football association would take a decision on the same in their Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) scheduled for July 7.
"They have given the name 'Bangalore United' but that will be decided by the AGM on July 7. I also spoke to JSW to check whether they need the name of 'Bangalore United'. We had already received the letter on the tournament earlier. If the project is for the good for football, we can approve it," he said.
However with the I-League clubs refusing to budge to IMG-Reliance's request to release players for their league, things do look murky given that the players who have signed for them are having second thoughts and preferring the national league instead.
Khaleel, who is also the vice-president of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), mentioned of having told IMG-Reliance to sort out the differences with the clubs as soon as possible for the smooth functioning of their project.
"I spoke to IMG people and said that there were some concerns of the I-League clubs. You have to get in touch with the clubs who have got some reservations. These doubts must be cleared. They were very positive and assured that they shall interact with the clubs and their grievances shall be addressed. Clubs are the pillars of the I-League and they have to be taken care of, which is my personal opinion. Everyone must have a good relationship," he stated.
IMG-Reliance are to have a meeting with Department of Youth Services and Sports (DYSS) to hire the Kanteerava Stadium on Wednesday and do plan to upgrade it.
"They had to opt for the Kanteerava Stadium because we cannot give ours (Bangalore football stadium) as our leagues are on."

The problem:
- I want to create one session bean for special logging into several Log4j loggers.
- I have several components (MDBs) and want to use this one session bean, but with different loggers
- the Idea is to use with following syntax
@EJB ("LoggerForIncomeInfo")
private Monitoring monitor;
where Monitoring is a Session Bean.
so, in my Monitor Session Bean Object I would like to have an opportunity to read annotation parameter ("LoggerForIncomeInfo") where this bean was called from. Do I have a direct possibility to do that, or I have to create one abstract Monitor and for every Logger create a realisation of this abstract class with a uniq Logger Name?

"Pulp Fiction" filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has championed extreme violence as the most enjoyable part of cinema.
The director is well known for the uncensored gore depicted in his films and believes bloody scenes are what fans flock to see in his big-screen projects.
He explains, "In general cinema, (violence is) the biggest attraction. I'm a big fan of action and violence in cinema. That's why Thomas Edison created the motion picture camera – because violence is so good. It affects audiences in a big way. You know you're watching a movie."
And Tarantino insists violence is a useful tool for a filmmaker to "control" his audience.
He adds, "I feel like a conductor and the audience's feelings are my instruments. I will be like, 'Laugh, laugh, now be horrified'. When someone does that to me I've had a good time at the movies.
"If a guy gets shot in the stomach and he's bleeding like a stuck pig then that's what I want to see – not a man with a stomach ache and a little red dot on his belly."

Hi, everyone!
Sorry we haven't updated in a while – we've all been incredibly busy since the series ended!
As you will probably know, the identity of the actor chosen to play the 12th Doctor will be announced in a special live TV show, Doctor Who Live! The Next Doctor, at 7:oopm on BBC1 on 4 August 2013.

We will be meeting slightly earlier than usual – 6:00pm – in order to have a quick chat before the show starts.
Hope loads of you can make it for what is bound to be a very special event for all Doctor Who fans!

NEW YORK (Sep. 5)
A Russian Zionist heroine, unheard from for over 30 years, has reemerged as a "refusenik" trapped in the depths of the USSR, according to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ). The SSSJ reported that the then 18-year-old Bella (Bilha) Alshkovsky joined the Bnei Akiva Zionist youth movement's hacksharak (preparatory) Kibbutz Avraham in Slobodka, near Kovno, training for a future life in Palestine.
When the Germans overran Lithuania in 1940, Bella and six friends sought to escape Russia at the Iranian border to make their way to Palestine. They were captured by the Russian border police, and her comrades were sentenced either to the labor camps or to death. Bella was given 10 years. When she miraculously emerged alive from the camps she discovered that of her group of seven and of her family, she alone had survived.
Little is known of Bella's activities during the next quarter-century. She married, had a son and lived in Nizhni-Tagil, a city near Sverdlovsk in the Urals. A friend she knew before the War who was now in Israel but believed Bella lost, suddenly began to receive letters after the Yom Kippur War. "You ask me how I remained alive, " she wrote. "About those days there's much to tell, but it's difficult in these few lines."
Her troubles began anew. Her husband died and she was refised an exit visa four times "because you will be leaving your son" who was fired from his job when she applied to leave. The rigors of the labor camp have not left her and she has been repeatedly hospitalized.
Yet Bella's passion for Israel still burns. She writes: "I live in hope. I have faith the hour of reunion will arrive because we need to and must be together. Not only the living want this, but the dead as well. Be strong and well and peace will be with you speedily. Au revoir."

text: Medicare review contractors won't deny ICD-10 claims billed by physicians or other practitioners under the Part B physician fee schedule during either automated medical reviews or complex medical record reviews based solely on the specificity of the ICD-10 diagnosis code, as long as the physician/practitioner uses a valid code from the right family of codes.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) grace period for ICD-10 specificity will extend for 12 months following the October 1 implementation date, and applies to Medicare Administrative Contractors, the Recovery Auditors, the Zone Program Integrity Contractors, and the Supplemental Medical Review Contractor.1However, because not all commercial insurers are following CMS' lead, it's important for providers to double-check to be sure they know where payers stand regarding code specificity and denials. Here's a brief run-down of the policies outlined by several major insurers:Aetna: The company stated that for dates of service of Oct. 1, 2015, and after, providers "should use ICD-10 codes in all transactions where ICD coding is required. All policies that we apply during the claims payment process won't change, other than a conversion to the ICD-10 code set."2Anthem: Anthem willfollow CMS guidance and not reject Medicare Part B Fee-for-Service Claims that are coded with an ICD-10 code within the correct family even if the correct level of specificity is not used.3Cigna: In a frequently asked questions document from September 2015, Cigna stated that "When sufficient clinical information isn't known or available about a particular health condition to assign a more specific code, it will be acceptable to report the appropriate `unspecified' code. (e.g., a diagnosis of pneumonia has been determined, but not the specified type.)"4Humana: The company states that "Humana will follow current CMS guidelines. Per CMS, each health care encounter should be coded to the level of certainty known for that encounter. Clinicians should report unspecified codes when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about the patient's condition at the time of that particular encounter. It is inappropriate to select a specific code that is not supported by the medical record documentation."5As of Oct. 26, 2015, no information was available on the United Healthcare website to indicate whether the company was following CMS guidance on specificity denials or not.In addition to checking with commercial carriers, state Medicaid policies regarding lack of ICD-10 specificity should also be reviewed and closely monitored. The state program in Georgia, for example, will not provide a grace period for unspecified codes. The following comes from the program's website:6Q: Could you explain the Medicaid policy on unspecified codes and the requirements for ICD-10 effective October 1, 2015?A: NOS, or "not otherwise specified" codes will be denied as there is not enough clinical documentation to determine the diagnosis. NEC codes, or "not elsewhere classified" will be supported as this means there is not an appropriate or an existing ICD-10 code to support it. Clinical justification is required if providers uses an NEC code. The physician is required to bill at the lowest specificity or diagnosis code level selecting the most appropriate specified code. The physician's documentation must be clear, complete and concise to support the code billed. Example: A patient is seen for injury to the right and/or left eye, but the provider bills using a diagnosis code of "other" as an unspecified code. Unless the provider has documentation that there is a third eye, then this claim with an unspecified diagnosis code of "other" would be denied."Because policies differ between carriers, physicians need to make sure that they're aware of what each insurance company is doing regarding coding specificity," said Lisa Schroeder, compliance director for web2pro Business Performance Services (web2pro). "Failure to do so could result in unexpected denials and potential cash flow problems."1 " (PDF, 199 KB)," Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services," July 9, 20152 " (PDF, 97 KB)," Aetna, August 20153 "," Anthem Blue Cross, July 20154 " (PDF, 210 KB)," Cigna, September 20155 "," Humana, 20156 " (PDF, 109 KB)," Georgia Department of Community Health, Sept. 9, 2015Yes

We'd all love to live a perfect healthy life, but it can seem unattainable at times. Between working, raising kids, studying, keeping up with family and our relationships, and everything else that life throws at us, nutrition often takes a back seat and is seen as a luxury. It doesn't have to be that way, though! Try implementing these 6 nutritionist rules to live by in your own life and see what healthy benefits you get in exchange!
» Show more
Rule 1: Choose whole foods that are close to their natural source.
If it comes in a box or bag, only requires heating, and foods that you recognize don't appear in the first 5 ingredients, it's probably not something you should put in your body. Opt for easy-to-cook foods and 3-5 ingredient recipes that won't take you long to cook and still resemble their ingredients when done. Chickpea curry, Greek salad, pumpkin soup, vegetable stirfrys– they look like their original ingredients even after you're done cooking them! Aim for meals like that and you won't end up putting a bunch of mystery chemicals in your body. You'll also avoid a lot of added sodium, fat, and other undesirables.
Rule 2: Eat the rainbow.
The more (natural) colors on your plate, the wider array of vitamins and nutrients you're getting. Opt for 3-4 different colors in each dish at minimum. Think of carrots, peppers, and greens for a simple side salad, then have a fruit salad for dessert. There are many sneaky ways to get lots of different colors in your meals. Challenge yourself to get a certain amount of colors in your produce aisle next time you're there, and see what kind of amazing combos you come up with at meal-times! The benefit, of course, is that it increases your vegetable intake in general, and specifically your variety of vitamins.
Rule 3: Control your portions at restaurants.
Restaurant meals are almost always bigger than what we would have served ourselves at home, but it's hard to leave it on the plate and stop eating halfway through, especially when you're about to pay for that food! Restaurant food is also often packed with salt and butter and sugar, so the calories a simple meal out can pack could be astronomical! Try asking for lunch sized portions, asking for healthy substitutes (a side salad instead of fries), or do the old faithful trick: When your plate arrives, ask for a to-go box immediately. Before you take even the first bite, put half of it in the to-go container. Now you'll be eating less and when your eyes see you're empty plate, you'll know you're done (without having eating the whole.dang.thing.) and you'll have a lunch or dinner ready to go for tomorrow!
Rule 4: Shop the Perimeter.
Grocery stores are tricky places! The freshest ingredients are usually around the perimeter, and if you get sucked into the cereal vortex of the middle of the store, you'll also be hit with tons of other processed foods. Even on the frozen veggie aisle you might be tempted by pizza bagels and ice cream, so keep your will strong! You may need to venture into the center for other products such as peanut butter, flour, or other staples, but try to get most of your food from the meat counter and produce section and you're almost guaranteed to leave with fewer processed and high-calorie foods.
Rule 5: Watch out for calorie traps.
Things that we add to food for flavor also often include a calorie or sodium bomb. Try to avoid sauces that are cream based (including salad dressing!) and stick to dressing your foods in hot sauce, mustard, olive oil, vinegar, lemon, herbs, and spices! Your meals will feel (and truly be) lighter and you'll avoid piling on empty calories to each meal.
Rule 6: Go for the fiber of whole fruit.
Juicing has been a popular trend for a while now, but consider swapping juices for fruit, especially if you don't make the juice yourself. Many store-bought juices don't contain as much of the fruit as the claim and often include added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The benefit of swapping out fruit juice for the whole fruit is in the fiber, which many of us don't get enough of. Try eating an apple or an orange at breakfast and start the day with water or green tea instead of the typical glass of juice!

From their 1982 calendar Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in Great Lovers of the Silver Screen, the Muppet couple star as Piggy Hall and Woody Frog in the Bergmanesque masterpiece Posteriors. If anyone is going to bring the vintage menswear look back for spring 2012, it will be Miss Piggy.
Incidentally, I've long suspected that Miss Piggy was the inspiration for Dianne Wiest's character in Bullets Over Broadway.

With Americana roots, sultry female vocals, Indian harmonium, and Celtic harp, The Leah Ray Mendez Trio is a modern folk experience all it's own. When band members Leah and Mauricio lost everything in a Santa Barbara wildfire, the only possessions they truly grieved were their instruments. Nearly four years later, their music is filled with droning harmonium, celtic harp, plucked guitar, earthy bass, syncopated drums, and Leah's ever-present soaring vocals, straight out the heart chakra. This Santa Cruz, CA based trio is includes: singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Leah Ray Mendez, Colombian bassist/guitarist Mauricio Mendez, and electronic/percussion specialist Beau Silver. "The Leah Ray Mendez Trio sounds like a antique tapestry woven with the dusty and bright colors of the California coast. The product is an earthy mix between Gillian Welch and Robert Plant. It is equally bitter and sweet with rich natural imagery, uplifting nostalgia, and deep beauty." -2013
"Leah's new EP release, All Must Grow, is a creative folk music masterpiece that should be respected as such. Songs like "Now" and the title track, "All Must Grow", are perfect examples of why Leah deserves to be celebrated as a top indie folk artist."
-I Am Entertainment Magazine, December, 2012

The United States is fortunate to have relatively reliable power. However "always-on" power doesn't equate to clean power and our electrical system has grown antiquated. Over the past 40+ years there have been no significant advances in our power supply or the level of protection, and yet the electronic assets we deploy such as office equipment, ATMs, industrial automation, and medical devices continue to grow more digitally advanced.
Despite the growing sophistication of our assets and the age of our power system, modern electronic equipment continues to be manufactured with limited power protection. This causes our equipment to be vulnerable to damaging power grid activity that can cost billions of dollars in lost productivity and data, service and parts annually.
According to the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), power disturbances cost U.S. industry as much as $188 billion per year in lost data, material and productivity. And, while natural disasters and major events may grab our attention, there are a countless number of uncontrollable variables taking place every day, externally on the power grid and internally within our buildings that are non-disaster related and affect the power supply. Even a minor voltage fluctuation or other disruption of the electrical signal can wreak havoc on electronic assets causing:
- Machine lockups and system malfunctions
- Board failures
- Resets
- Premature equipment failures
- High service and parts costs
- Phantom errors
While most have historically viewed power variations and related vulnerabilities as easily solvable by protecting against lightning strikes and power outages, the truth is quite different, more severe in nature and far more technical. Of power related events that damage electronics, less than one-half of one percent are caused by voltage surges and spikes, and a small percentage of failures actually results from power outages themselves. These daily disturbances include a complex array of voltage sags, brownouts, overvoltages, power outages and voltage surges and spikes. No two disturbances are the same, and a single event or events overtime can be catastrophic to the lifespan and reliability of electronics.

GERMANY'S Bundesbank cut its growth outlook and now expects the eurozone's largest economy to barely grow in 2013, while it also pointed to risks of a recession as the eurozone debt crisis takes its toll.
The Bundesbank expects Germany's economy to grow just 0.4 per cent next year, down from a forecast in June of 1.6 per cent.
The move comes a day after the European Central Bank cut its forecasts for next year, pointing to weaker growth prospects for the bloc's core countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Germany has been a key growth driver of the eurozone, now in its second recession since 2009, but the country's resilience to the crisis is wearing thin and the central bank's new projections reflect this.
"Given the difficult economic situation in some euro-area countries and widespread uncertainty, economic growth will be lower than previously assumed," the Bundesbank said.
The euro fell to a session low against the dollar and German Bunds reversed earlier losses as a result.
"The Bundesbank is quite negative about next year," said ABN Amro economist Aline Schuiling. "What we are currently seeing is more and more evidence that the global industrial cycle is bottoming out."
The Bundesbank said the balance of risks was on the downside and said there was a chance of Germany entering a recession – defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
"There are even indications that economic activity may fall in the final quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013," it said. Economists expect the German economy to contract in the fourth quarter but to improve as soon as in the first quarter.
Industrial orders and output have dropped in recent months, with exports falling at their fastest pace since late last year. But some data over the past weeks was encouraging, with German business morale rising for the first time in seven months and unemployment gaining much less than expected.
"The Bundesbank does not see a protracted slowdown but instead anticipates a return to growth path soon," it said, adding that it expects 2014 growth of 1.9 per cent.
The Bundesbank sees inflation above 2 per cent this year and falling to 1.5 per cent next year, having earlier expected inflation of 2.1 per cent this year and 1.6 per cent in 2013. In its first take on 2014 inflation, it estimated prices to rise 1.6 per cent that year.

Tony Thomas has a bone to pick with Comcast. I am not sure why but he has hired the professional services of our City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney to do his bidding.
First of all, new and improved town hall meetings will be organized so that citizens can express their grievances against a publicly traded company and someone from City Hall is bound to act as the official scribe for follow-up on the resolution of the identified problem.
Secondly, City Hall, under the expert guidance of Tony Thomas, has agreed to expand its very own 311 line to now include any and all personal complaints regarding Comcast. City employees will now not only record your problems pertaining to city services.
No, they now volunteer to become a new 800 number for personal service complaints as well. We will obviously need more personnel to man the busy phones but the budget will allow for such an expense and if not, someone will find a way to somehow pay for the extra manpower.
I never knew that City employees were such great customer service reps with proven expertise in cable and internet service. From my experience, they don't even understand garbage pick up, sewer and flooding problems or recycling, but one can always light a candle and hope for the best.
Nobody really knows what bone Tony Thomas has to pick with a service provider and why City Hall has to be involved. It must be something personal.
Maybe an unpaid bill. Maybe they shut off his favorite cartoon station. Maybe he had to pay a reconnection fee again. We will obviously never know.
It could also be that Mr. Thomas was on an artificial sugar rush on that specific bad day since he is known to drink far too many diet sodas, as seen on TV, and we all know that Aspartame is bad for you and worse than sugar.
But in his defense, he wants to question Comcast's monopoly in the local Savannah market.
I don't know whether theirs is a real monopoly given that I can choose between Comcast, Dish Network, Direct TV and AT&T. Hmm, something to think about.
I do know however that I can only get electricity from Georgia Power and nobody else.
I also know that I am supposed to pay for the new Vogtle Plant and that their request for another rate hike is in the making to pay for the refurbishing of two existing plants so they can shift from coal to natural gas.
Now, that is what I call a true monopoly.
Do not worry! Mr. Thomas will make sure that when the time comes you can call 311 to express your dissatisfaction with the company and Rochelle and Tony will take care of your problem pronto.
311 is the new hotline for any problem; City, public, private and personal and this is how the automated system will sound like.
For garbage: press 1
For sewer and water: press 2
For Comcast: press 3
For Georgia Power: press 4
For Tony Thomas: press 5
For the City Manager: press 6
For all other services: call the 1-800 number on your bill.
To repeat this menu, hang up and dial again.
City Council and City Hall are proud to announce they have joined the HDTV era but three dimensional responses to your complaints will have to wait until the next City Council election.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Touch Press/Deutsche Grammophon. 2013. iOS, requires 6.0 for the Free (Lite) or iPad $13.99 versions 1.0.1. Compatible with the iPhone 4 or above, optimized for iPhone 5. $7.99.
Gr 7 Up−When considering Beethoven's 9th Symphony you'll be tempted to go for the free app, but don't do it; it's the best kind of worst tease. Instead, purchase the full version, but you'll need to decide: iPhone or iPad app? Don't skimp. The phone app has all the music of the iPad app, but lacks the commentaries of the experts. Your last consideration will be the listening options; the app states, "BEST WITH HEADPHONES." Trust me, it is.
The production's home page streams the "Ode to Joy," and although you sense you will be humming it all night, don't resist. Once you begin to explore the symphony, you won't be able to stop. There are four performances each with a different conductor: Ferenc Fricsay, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, and Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Each concert piece can be listened to while reading either the full synchronized score or a replica of Beethoven's handwritten score (amazing), or watching an electric pin-light version that lights up the corresponding parts of the orchestral seating chart as various instruments come in and out. Bernstein's performance also includes a video of the maestro conducting the symphony with the Wiener Philharmoniker in 1979.
During all the pieces, a phrase-by-phrase analysis by David Owen Norris explains the music in an endearing, informal manner. For example, midway through the first movement he writes, "Those opening sparks of rhythm have caught fire, and in their light we can see we're back at the beginning…." Norris also contributed the historical analysis that offers background on Beethoven's life, including his descent into deafness and the genesis of the Ninth Symphony.
Finally (and really, this shouldn't come last), there are the "Insights" by some of the world's finest musicians and scholars. Don't skip this section. Start with Suzy Klein, who makes the Ninth Symphony accessible and drops in some humor along the way. Conductor Gustavo Dudamel helps explain Beethoven's status as a universal symbol of music, and pianist Alice Sara Ott shares why the "Ode to Joy" is the basis of hope, optimism, and human rights, and discusses why music is a unique language that can unite people with idealism. Without hesitation, an app for all collections.
Over in the Jungle. Marianne Berkes. Dawn Publications. 2013/2012. illus. by Jeanette Canyon. iOS, requires 4.2 or later; $4.99. iBooks, 1.3 or later. $6.99.
PreS-K−Sung to the tune of the classic children's counting song, this app, based on Berkes's picture book of the same title (2007), is sure to become a favorite of the preschool crowd. In addition to the rainforest setting, this version features outstanding design, vibrant art, realistic sound effects, a supplemental nonfiction text, and a challenging game.
Each page of the rhyming text introduces a jungle animal and a number of offspring from one to ten. Ocelots, honey bears, howler monkeys, leaf cutter ants, and other rainforest animals make an appearance, offering children an opportunity to learn about creatures they may not have encountered before. Taps, swipes, and jiggles to the screen trigger movements and/or additional sound effects.Users can choose to read the story themselves, have it read to them, or listen to it sung. As the words are voiced, the text is highlighted. Those choosing to listen to the song will be treated to the catchy tune that retains the narration's expressiveness. A touch to the arrow that appears on every page will allow children to hear the text (or song) repeated.
At the end of the story, viewers are invited to find the 55 offspring depicted populating one final, colorful jungle scene. An icon in the shape of a leaf brings users to a menu page from which they can access animal facts and photos; author, illustrator, and publisher information; and other apps by the developer.Over in the Jungle is a feast for the senses. From the authentic background sounds to the deftly crafted polymer clay animals of the images, each page is a delight. This app is perfect for sharing one-on-one or in a storyhour.

Catholic Dictionary
the omnipresence of God permeating all creation. It is the interpenetration of the divine essence and activity within all created beings. In the Christian faith this immanence does not deny but complements the divine transcendence. God remains God and is neither part of the world nor is perfected by the world. In pantheistic immanence God is said to be present and operating in the world, but he is also held to be somehow identical with the universe.

Time for Outrage: Indignez-Vous! (Hardcover)
This controversial, impassioned call-to-arms for a return to the ideals that fueled the French Resistance has sold millions of copies worldwide since its publication in France in October 2010. Rejecting the dictatorship of world financial markets and defending the social values of modern democracy, 93-old Stephane Hessel -- Resistance leader, concentration camp survivor, and former UN speechwriter -- reminds us that life and liberty must still be fought for, and urges us to reclaim those essential rights we have permitted our governments to erode since the end of World War II.
About the Author
Stephane Hessel was born in Germany in 1917, emigrated with his Jewish writer father and mother to France in 1924, and fought in the French Army in 1940. After being captured by German forces, he escaped from a prisoner of war camp and joined General Charles de Gaulle's Free French in London. On his clandestine return to organise the Resistance in France, he was caught, arrested, tortured and sent to concentration camps. He escaped death to work after the war on drafting the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, whose ideals he defends passionately to this day.
Praise For…
'The book urges the French, and everyone else, to recapture the wartime spirit of resistance to the Nazis by rejecting the "insolent, selfish" power of money and markets and by defending the social "values of modern democracy."
-The Independent
"This slim but powerful volume answered the public's need for a voice to articulate popular resentment of ruling-class ruthlessness, police brutality, stark income disparities, banking and political corruption, and victimization of the poor and immigrants."
-The Nation
"INDIGNEZ-VOUS! is creating the sort of stir in France Emile Zola did in 1898, when he published J'Accuse!"
-The National Post
"Like a song you hum or a film you recommend to friends, INDIGNEZ-VOUS! crystallises the spirit of the time. To buy it is a militant act, a gesture towards community and participation in a collective emotion."

Today's prompt reads
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
If you could instantly know any language in the world, which one would it be?
It's funny that this is today's prompt. I actually was discussing this with my cooperating teacher today. One of my biggest regrets so far is not learning Spanish. Although I enjoyed my 8 years of French, in retrospect, I realize that Spanish would have been a more practical choice…especially in my student teaching experience. As I've mentioned before, I'm student teaching in an urban district and loving it. However, the majority of my students (and their parents/guardians) speak Spanish as a first language. Michael Bloomberg speaks better Spanish than me.
I received an email from Amazon stating I could "save big" on Rosetta Stone this week. It would only cost me $300+ dollars to learn Spanish through their discount. I looked on Craigslist, and prices ranged from cheap scams to $500. There was also an offer for a complete Rosetta Stone set in exchange for a snow mobile. Ha.
I'm still looking for ways to learn Spanish, and I regret not spending time with Muzzy when I was younger.
Until then, I'll share with you some of the few Spanish phrases I know… most of which are a) not school appropriate and b) I learned from students at school.
-pendejo (I learned this from my Dad when I was younger.)
-mierda (I knew this one as well! French for shit is "merde.")
Oh, and tying it back to the title of this post, I think "Spanglish" is Adam Sandler's best movie ever. It makes me cry every time…and it totally made me want to learn Spanish even more. I think the film has an interesting way of depicting cultural divides in America….and is totally a beautiful love story.

This week I was making a number of tomato-based recipes, so I decided to make this recipe too. We've only had it once before, but everyone loves it! This recipe would be a great way to use all those fresh tomatoes you're harvesting from your garden.
Fresh Tomato Soup (Simply in Season Cookbook)
- 8 medium tomatoes (peeled and seeded if desired and chopped) (I didn't peel or seed mine)
- 4 or more cloves garlic (minced)
Combine in saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft.
(At this point I pureed my soup in the food processor because no one in my family would be fond of a chunky tomato soup.)
- 3 cups / 750 ml water or vegetable juice (I used water)
- 2 chicken or vegetable bouillon cubes (I used chicken bouillon powder)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 sprigs fresh basil (chopped) (I used dried basil)
Add, bring to boil, simmer for 5 minutes and serve. (I garnished mine with parsley and sharp cheddar cheese, and served buttered bread on the side)
Bon Appetit!
What are your favorite tomato-based recipes?

New Haven is sprinting towards gold in the Highway Removal Olympics. In his State of the City address earlier this week, New Haven Mayor John DeStefano said that 100 College Street, the initial phase of a project to replace Route 34 with development and a street grid, would be underway by late this year or early 2011. The mayor said this first phase would create 900 permanent jobs and start to reconnect downtown New Haven with the Hill neighborhood that was separated by Route 34 — also known, ironically, as the Oak Street Connector — during the city's urban renewal phase in the 1950s and 1960s.
100 College Street, pictured above, will be built and paid for by a private developer in the Route 34 right-of-way near the Air Rights Garage. The City will complement the development by closing two highway ramps and redoing the frontage roads to add street parking, improved sidewalks, a bike lane (on North Frontage), and turning lanes. The City will use $5 million of a previous allocation from the federal government and is applying for $40 million in stimulus funds to pay for the change, with Mayor DeStefano promising to "find the resources" if stimulus money does not come in.
Tri-State has long supported the project, which envisions a mix of commercial, residential and retail uses along a boulevard-type roadway, and held an urban highway removal symposium in April 2008 to support the City's first steps towards enactment. The drumbeat for removal and for safer streets grew louder when medical student Mila Rainof was killed near Route 34, only a month after the symposium.
While plans for the western portion of the Route 34 "disconnector" are still being discussed by the City and local neighborhood and safe streets groups, 100 College Street has more broad support among key stakeholders and hopefully will move forward quickly.

WWE has announced the 14 men that will compete in two Money in the Bank Ladder Matches on July 14th in Philadelphia. In an strange curveball, the WWE Championship Ladder Match will feature all faces, while the World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match features all heels. It seems like WWE is using the World Heavyweight Championship contract for a younger guy, while the WWE title is used for someone to continue their push to the top. Whatever WWE decides to do, it should be interesting. There are so many superstars who NEED the briefcase. I have compiled a list of 10 superstars who NEED the briefcase to either get over, begin their legacy, or resurrect their careers. While a few of these guys on the list are not included in the match, others are. Enjoy.

TTF expects a good Diwali season
Despite the current economic slowdown compelling most of us to reschedule our monthly expenses, there are slim chances of people forsaking their annual Diwali and winter vacations and explore new cities and countries
In order to tap such travellers, the Travel and Tourism Fair (TTF) is being held at the Nehru Centre, Worli. The three-day show, which was inaugurated in the presence of senior government tourism officials and travel industry representatives, will conclude on Sunday.
This year's TTF has seen growth of approximately 20 per cent over last year. "This augurs well for the industry and we predict a good Diwali season despite the economic gloom," said Sanjiv Agarwal, Chairman and CEO of Fairfest Media Ltd, organiser of the show.
Bringing together more than 175 exhibitors from all over India as well as from five countries, the extravaganza is a one-stop shop of travel and tourism products, showcasing destinations and packages to help Mumbaiites plan and book their Diwali holidays.

EA announces GI Joe tie-in game
posted: 2/11/2009 11:46:00 AM
More On:
G.I. Joe
I have to admit that I'm a little more than excited about the upcoming GI Joe movie even though I know that once again Hollywood is going to take my childhood memories behind a shack and do bad things to them. Today EA announced that they will be developing a movie-tie in game for the flick which will ship this summer with the premiere of the movie. The game will feature 12 characters (expect to fight over playing Snake Eyes) and a single player with a co-op mode so you can stop COBRA with a friend. Hopefully they somehow incorporate the cheesy PSA stuff at the end of levels so we know not to set the dog on fire, to look both ways before crossing the street, and how to dial 911.
And now you know.
G.I. JOE Set to Invade All Major Video Game Platforms in Summer 2009
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February 11, 2009 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that development is underway to bring Hasbro's legendary G.I. JOE® brand to all major console and handheld gaming platforms in summer 2009 to coincide with the theatrical release of the G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA live-action movie from Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment, in association with Hasbro, which opens in theaters August 7, 2009. EA will unveil a "first look" of the G.I. JOE® video game at Hasbro's Showroom at Toy Fair on February 15-17, 2009 in New York City.
"As Hasbro and Paramount Pictures reignite the G.I. JOE® property this year with an all-new toy line and film, EA is excited to play a major role in bringing this icon of pop culture history to a new generation of enthusiasts through interactive gaming," said Chip Lange, General Manager and Vice President of EA Hasbro. "G.I. JOE® offers exceptionally rich storylines and a cast of characters that lends itself incredibly well to creating an over-the-top action adventure video game that will thrill gamers as well as G.I. JOE® fans."
For fans of all ages, 2009 is gearing up to become another watershed milestone in the timeless franchise by introducing even more new ways to engage, immerse and play within the G.I. JOE® universe. The G.I. JOE® video game will feature an exclusive storyline that picks up where the live-action movie leaves off, allowing players to re-create and re-live the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action figure toy line. The game will feature 12 G.I. JOE® characters, each with unique abilities and weapons. Adding to the adrenaline rush will be an intense single-screen co-op mode allowing two players to easily unite as a team in a classic struggle between good and evil as they work together to defeat the powers of the COBRA organization. The G.I. JOE® video game is under development for Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Wii™, PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), Nintendo DS™, and mobile devices.
"G.I. JOE® has been an icon of action for 45 years," said Mark Blecher, General Manager of Digital Gaming and Media at Hasbro. "EA has tapped the legacy of the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga to create an amazing interactive experience inspired by the movie, comic books, animated series and iconography that we hope will resonate with millions of fans."
For more than four decades, G.I. JOE® has been one of the premiere brands in the history of boys' toys. Originating the term "action figure" in 1964, Hasbro's G.I. JOE® brand ushered in a new play pattern that forever changed the scope of the toy industry. The G.I. JOE® brand made another revolutionary introduction in 1984 with the release of the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA toy line, which introduced a generation of boys to the heroic G.I. JOE® forces, led by Duke, and their epic struggle to defeat the evil COBRA organization. The G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga featured a diverse cast of characters – both good and evil – that became a part of pop culture through Hasbro's toy line, an animated television series and best-selling comic book franchise.

Rock preview: Bob Dylan, on tour
Much as he has sympathised with the working man's struggles, increasingly it seems that Bob Dylan finds an appeal in the anonymity of the working man, too. Engaged on a businesslike, and seemingly ceaseless round of live engagements that he calls the "Never Ending Tour", Dylan likewise delivers a new album with very little fuss or fanfare - his latest one, Together Through Life, is to be released shortly, having been recorded in a terrifically brisk week of sessions. What will happen on stage at his shows, though, is the product of a much more unpredictable workman. Much given to the element of surprise, Dylan musically proves that you can't please all of the people all of the time. Enthralling to the old hand, disappointing to anyone expecting greatest hits, it's lucky that the only thing you can truly count on - his wobbly leg dancing - is a winner with everyone.

The theme of this week in our house has been clean eating. Since we've been traveling so much over the past few weeks, that also meant we were eating out. A LOT. Which I obviously love to do…. but my body certainly thinks otherwise.
Even if we try to order "healthier" things off the menu at most restaurants, there is still such a difference between that and a home-cooked meal. The oil, the butter, the salt, the sugar— it can so easily be overdone in restaurants to bring out the flava! I totally get it, it makes so many foods taste insanely delicious, but after a few days, my body is screaming for some straight up-home cooked-clean eating again.
Ever had that feeling?
Surprisingly enough, this recipe is inspired from one of the dishes I ate out at a restaurant! Yeah, I think I've been contradicting myself a bit, but stay with me…
While we were visiting our hometown of Rochester, NY last week, we made sure to check out some of the new vegan/vegetarian restaurants (well, new since we've been gone at least). We were shocked at how much the plant-based eating scene has grown since we left the area after high school. Why did Rochester get so cool AFTER we left??? Typical.
Our first stop was at Vive Bistro in downtown Rochester. Vive is a plant-based French Bistro— yes that's right, vegan French food— right in the center of East Ave (a pretty hoppin' street in Rochester). The second we walked into Vive, we were so impressed by the modern, yet rustic deco that stood in front of us— comfy couches, a blazing fireplace, and clean, warm colors everywhere. I'm hooked already.
I went with a large group, and we ordered a table full of food ranging from their vegan cheese plate to their chickpea flatbread pizzas to hearty veggie sandwiches on freshly baked baguettes. Taking photos didn't even cross my mind because the food looked so mouth-watering as soon as it came out. And man, was. it. good.
If you happen to live in upstate NY and have the chance to check out Vive, I totally recommend the cheese plate and the Blanc pizza. They were definitely the group's favorite by far!
A few days later, we decided to order take out from another vegan restaurant downtown called the Red Fern. The Red Fern has been around the Rochester scene a little longer, but was brand new to us since we moved away. Situated also in the downtown Park Ave area, the Red Fern was tucked away as a little hole-in-the-wall cafe. But once we walked in, we realized how popular they are— the place was packed! Again, a very rustic, yet hipster-y vibe, complete with a wrap around bar lines with bakery cases and bar stools. I. loved. it.
We ordered lots of different wraps and sandwiches from the Red Fern, but I decided to go a little lighter that evening with their Pesto Zucchini Linguini Salad. Thick zucchini noodles tossed with a nutty pesto, balsamic roasted tomatoes, and kale parmesan— I'm drooling.
Needless to say, it was delicious! So delicious that I knew I needed to recreate it at home to share with all you lovely readers. And here's the best part— it took me all of 20 minutes to make. Throw some tomatoes in the oven to roast, whip up some sunflower seed pesto, spiralize a large zucchini, toss it together and BAM, lunch is served. Plus, it was a great way for Nate and I to continue on our clean eating kick, while still getting in some delicious flavors in a very unique salad.
If you give this salad a shot, let me know what you think! I can't tell you how much I love seeing your photos on Instagram of recipes you've tried from pumpkin & peanut butter 🙂
Pesto Zucchini Noodles with Burst Tomatoes
|Prep time
|15 minutes
|Cook time
|10 minutes
|Total time
|25 minutes
|Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian
|Meal type
|Lunch, Main Dish, Salad
- 2 small zucchini, or 1 large zucchini
for the pesto
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
for the tomatoes
- 10 grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- pinch of salt and pepper
|for the burst tomatoes
|Step 1
|Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the cherry or grape tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread over a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, or until just starting to burst.
|for the pesto
|Step 2
|To make your pesto, begin by placing 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds in your food processor or high speed blender. Blend until they are broken down into very small pieces. Add in the garlic cloves and basil leaves, and blend for another minute. Scrape the sides and repeat if the leaves are still large.
Slowly pour in the olive oil (If you can do this while you blend, that's best. If not, pour half in at a time, then blend and repeat.) Scrape and stir the pesto to make sure it is a desired consistency. Add more olive oil if you like a thinner pesto (this is a chunkier kind).
|for the pesto zucchini noodles
|Step 3
|Use a spiralizer to spirals the zucchini into noodles. I used the larger setting to make my noodles thicker, but feel free to experiment with your favorite settings. Place zucchini noodles in a large bowl and toss with the pesto. Plate your pesto zucchini noodles, then top with a scoop of oven roasted tomatoes. Dig in!

In particular, the primary cause of eye floaters (or eye flashes) have to do with the degenerative changes associated with your vitreous humour. In addition, eye infections, damage, and inflammation can also cause eye floaters to occur.

On the first day of 2014, I took a solo motorcycle ride as a "good luck ride" for the year ahead. I ended up finding a very nice waterfall not that far from the city. This relatively unknown waterfall that's just an hour away from the Quezon City area is a promising weekend destination for motorcyclists and mountain bikers.
The waterfall can be found within the Palo Alto Leisure and Residential Estates in Brgy. Pinugay, Baras, Rizal. This 200 hectare prime residential and commercial estate is being developed by the Sta. Lucia Land Inc. They're currently selling estate lots here, for those who want to invest in their retirement farms or country estate mansions not that far from the metro. But in the meantime, some of the attractions, including the falls and a clubhouse are open to the public.
It's hard to miss since there's actually a billboard advertising an adventure park right by the side of the road with a picture of a waterfall on it. I ignored this during previous rides, since I assumed the photo was of Daranak or Batlag Falls–two popular waterfalls in Rizal, which I've previously been to. There are no entrance fees if you just want to inquire or take a look at the facilities. Just leave an ID with the guard at the main gate, and follow the paved road to your preferred destination (falls or clubhouse).
The place is ideal for motorcyclists and road trippers who want to go swimming and have picnics during the weekends. By car or motorcycle, the drive takes about an hour or less from QC without traffic. For mountain bikers, it's more of a challenge, with the uphill ascents, but at least they can relax and cool down after a tiring ride. The whole complex has very good paved roads and secure parking areas for all types of vehicles.
Second visit to Palo Alto: Went back to show the place to Outside Slacker & take better photos with SLR
From the parking area, you have to climb up 249 concrete steps to get to the foot of Palo Alto Falls, which is 1000 feet up. It sounds daunting at first, but really, it takes just about 5-8 minutes to get to the foot of the falls. Along the way, you'll pass through thick forests beside a small stream, with water trickling down through the rocks. It's very serene and peaceful, especially if you're the only one there.
Soon enough, you'll reach a set of native cottages surrounding the foot of the falls. The falls is still surrounded by lush trees and foliage and cascades down from about 60 feet high into a clear pool that has been cemented all around. The water here is very clean and clear, the grounds are well-maintained, and the place is really refreshing. What I like the most is its seclusion, unlike some other more popular waterfalls, which can get quite crowded. During my first visit, I was the only one there, so I had the falls all to myself. During my second visit to take photos, there were a few people swimming, but it didn't feel crowded.
The other alternative (especially if you're traveling with kids) is the leisure park's clubhouse, which has a large resort-type swimming pool with winding water slides. The place looks very classy with landscaped gardens, relaxing lounge chairs, and a small bridge over the pool. There's a large shower area with lockers and dressing rooms.
The clubhouse contains a game room where you can play billiards, table tennis, and darts. I spotted a videoke machine on the premises, so that's probably for rent :p The clubhouse also contains a conference/function room for events, a zip line (over the pool), basketball court, and bike lane within the complex. The restaurant, snack bar & coffee shop are still in the works, so anyone who visits should make sure to bring their own food and snacks. Take note that alcoholic drinks are not allowed. There are several picnic huts for rent and grills where you can barbecue your own food by the pool.
If you didn't bring food and want something to eat, you can visit Park, Rest & Dine, a small and eclectic restaurant, which is a short drive away from Palo Alto. Here's a list of other resorts/restaurants along the route.
THIRD VISIT: Summer 2014
Went back with cousins (by car this time) for a summer picnic outing. The waterfalls was barely a trickle this time.

"Sydney Language Solutions taught me a great lesson on how to handle all four components in IELTS in order to get the mark I desired. I would definitely recommend my friends to join the IELTS Preparation Course with Sydney Language Solutions. My final IELTS score is 7.5 for listening, 8.0 for writing, 8.5 for reading and 7 for speaking."
Deepak Agrawal
"I've received my results today, which just made me happier by seeing a score of 8, 8, 7 & 7. My learning journey with you and SLS would have continued had I been continuing to stay in Australia. It was not mere preparation of IELTS for me. You boosted my confidence (and I believe of everybody else's as well) by your honest rating of the essays and pinpointing the problem most of the times. My heartfelt thank you to you" – 26.8.2011
Kuntal Patel
"As per my experience, Sydney Language Solutions is one of the best institutes which prepare students with up to date IELTS requirements. I joined the classes here with an aim to get 7 bands in each module which I achieved after 3 weeks preparation classes. I improved my score in reading and writing from 6 to 7. My special thanks to Na, Luis and Nicholas for inspiring and guiding me to accomplish my goal. – 8.1.2012"
Thuy Van Nguyen
"Thank you Sydney Language Solutions for your assistance in my quest to learn Mandarin during July – October 2010. I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with my private tutor over the past weeks. I am very satisfied with your professionalism, excellent resources, quality and well-trained staff as well as teaching practices. I was able to learn in a supportive environment with great flexibility and encouragement. Once again thank you and I look forward to further lessons in 2011."
John Van Gastel
"We are very pleased with how things are going and particularly the trainer. Anne Ma is wonderful and a great teacher. We feel that we have learnt well in such a short time. As a corporate group we are not as quiet as perhaps other groups may be, and Anne is handling us very well." (John Van Gastel, Gregory Jewellers, Corporate Training 2011)
Denise Young
I studied Vietnamese with Na from October 2008 to March 2009. I had made previous attempts to learn the language but I made most progress studying with Miss Na. One reason is that she has a deep knowledge not only of her native tongue, Vietnamese, but also of English. She also understands modern methods of language teaching. I valued the time I spent in her classes and when I was in Vietnam I found it made a huge difference in people's attitudes when I spoke to them in Vietnamese. She also gave me a lot of background information on the culture, history and local sayings of the people. I would recommend her classes to anybody interested in learning Vietnamese.
Jane Gibian
Na is a friendly, enthusiastic teacher who makes lessons fun, and encourages students to do their best. She uses a range of materials and subject matter in lessons, especially those relating to everyday conversational situations.
Ellen Adele
I started studying with Dr Na Pham ("Cô Na") in 2006. Cô Na's wonderful classes have inspired a love of the Vietnamese language in me, and I hope to continue under her tuition until I am fluent in the language. Cô Na is a patient and thoughtful teacher, and presents often challenging materials in an approachable (and sometimes hilarious!) way. My partner's family are Vietnamese, and he has also gained a more accurate grasp of his family's language through Cô Na's classes.
Vietnamese is a language that English speakers often struggle with, and Cô Na successfully makes this challenging language accessible to her students of all levels. Through her carefully planned lessons, appropriate materials, engaging interactive activities, and structured homework, Cô Na ensures that students of all levels progress quickly.
I have no hesitation in recommending Cô Na's Vietnamese classes to students of any level.
Linda Blackhall
I have been learning Vietnamese with Na for the past year. She is an excellent teacher who structures her lessons so that you learn quickly and easily. The lessons are fun and informative as Na explains the cultural links to the language as you learn new words and phrases.

Kavita Sahota
"Sydney Language Solutions has helped me immensly in clearing the first step towards my career. It has the finest teachers which teach in such a good way that things actually go directly to your head and you never forget. If anyone else sincerely wants to pursue their dreams, this course is the doorway. Jaime & Welan are the teachers who actually taught me and they are 'master of English'. Best of all. "

JERUSALEM (Jan. 31)
While the Gaza Strip enjoyed a rare weekend without violence, Police Minister Shlomo Hillel today offered a heated defense of the performance of the Israeli border police in the area. Addressing the Engineers Forum in Haifa, Hillel denounced "the national sport of unjustifiably slandering the entire force" by means of "idle talk against men who fulfill their duty with devotion despite grave danger." The border police are "subject to the same strict discipline that applies to every constable," the 47-year-old Baghdad-born Laborite official declared, adding: "I am proud that non-Jews do their duty alongside Jews with such exemplary devotion. Such a unit deserves our admiration and praise, no defamation."
The border police have been under criticism since the recent get-tough policy took effect in the Gaza Strip to suppress terrorist activities. Last Wednesday, two Knesset members, Meir Wilner of the pro-Moscow Rakach Communists, and Uri Avneri, chairman of the Haolam Hazeh New Force Movement, accused the border police of committing "atrocities." The charges were denied by Interior Minister Yosef Burg. Meanwhile, the Army has confirmed that the official appointed by Chief of Staff Haim Bar-Lev to investigate complaints of unwarranted force in the Strip will deal only with the behavior of Army troops, not that of border police. Asked if the Police Ministry had appointed a similar investigator, a Ministry spokesman said last night that no investigations were necessary as no formal complaints had been filed.

Dog Saves Owner from Deadly Snake Attack
A young kelpie named Tess is being hailed a lifesaver after defending its owner from an attack by a deadly snake on the Gold Coast.
But the heroic pet has only a 50-50 chance of survival after being bitten by the giant eastern brown.
Fay Palethorpe, a 68-year-old retiree from Ingleside, was gardening on her 8ha property on Sunday morning when she encountered the brown snake which, at over 2m long, was the biggest she had ever seen.
"[It was] huge - it would have been over six feet (1.80m) long," Palethorpe said yesterday. "He saw me and I saw him, and he reared up about two foot (60cm) into the air and struck at me three times. I just screamed and ran."
The snake chased after Palethorpe, before her three kelpies, including Tess, jumped to her defence.
Tess has been in a coma since Sunday, and the vet rates her a 50-50 chance of recovery. But he delivered promising news yesterday, with the kelpie moving and blinking her eyes. "Every hour is a little bit better," Palethorpe said.
