Glenn Phillips Band, Supreme Court
Glenn Phillips, a prodigiously talented Atlanta guitarist, co-founder of the Hampton Grease Band and a local treasure, joins Swimming Pool Q's frontman Jeff Calder in their traditional post-Thanksgiving show. Phillips has been part of this town's musical landscape for more than 40 years. The Supreme Court, the pairing of Phillips and Calder with a rhythm section, and the Glenn Phillips Band will both play sets. This year, they're also celebrating a new album called "Sun Hex." It's only the band's second release, and the first one came out in 1993. "Sun Hex" is an Atlanta history lesson on a little silver disc and proof of the enduring talent and adventurous musicality of the participants. The blend of Phillips' guitar fireworks and the entwined voices of Calder and his Q's band mate Anne Richmond Boston on "CIA '66" and the sprawling title track are just a couple of the album's many sonic treats.
8 p.m. Nov. 26. $12. Red Light Cafe, 533 Amsterdam Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-874-7828.
Corey Smith
Jefferson native and UGA grad Smith melds country, rock and blues and plays to packed houses across the Southeast. He gets the Bulldog faithful going with "Every Dawg" and keeps the spring-break spirit alive for the post-grad crowd with "If I Could Do It Again."
8 p.m. Nov. 26. $25. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-659-9022.
The Whigs
Crafting crunchy modern rock that transcends most of its contemporaries with hook-filled and memorable songs, Athens' Whigs prove that you don't need gimmicks to make great records. There's nothing fancy about this trio's solid, straight-ahead indie rock, but it works like a charm. It's been a big year for the Whigs. The guys made their "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" debut and have been touring with Kings of Leon, including opening for KoL's September date at Philips Arena and in London's Hyde Park in June. With Futurebirds and Bambara.
8:30 p.m. Nov. 26. $17.50; $15 advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
The Black Lips, Those Darlins, Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs
Atlanta's rip-snortin', rock-tastic psych garage quartet the Black Lips take a break from touring and working on a new album to play for the hometown crowd. Expect the follow-up to 2009's "200 Thousand Million" sometime next year. The ragged, raw and sexually-charged marriage of honky-tonk and punk of Those Darlins seems like the perfect companion for the Black Lips. The addition of Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs to the bill makes this an exceptional night of live music. Now a Georgia resident, British musician Golightly's career began with all-girl garage band Thee Headcoatees in 1991, before striking out on her own in 1995. Her gritty, primitive rock aesthetic comes across like a mix of old acoustic country blues, early R&B, pre-British Invasion rock and rustic folk.
8:30 p.m. Nov. 27. $17.50; $15 advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
Paula Cole
Singer-songwriter and Grammy winner Cole hit the Top 10 back in 1997 with "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" and narrowly missed the top tier with the No. 11 hit "I Don't Want to Wait" (aka the theme song from teen drama "Dawson's Creek." She's had a much lower profile in the years since that commercial peak. The follow-up to the album that contained those hits, 'Amen," didn't match the success of its predecessor and it would be nearly eight years before she released another album (2007's "Courage"). She returned to stores and stages this year with the album "Ithaca" and her current tour.
7 and 9:30 p.m. Nov. 30. $25. Eddie's Attic, 515 N. McDonough St., Decatur. 404-377-4976.
Sonic Generator
Georgia Tech's contemporary music ensemble-in-residence will perform a program of music associated with the IRCAM computer music research center in Paris. Guest composer Philippe Leroux will speak with Tech School of Music faculty member Andrea Brown before the ensemble performs the composer's "Voi(Rex)." Pieces by Pierre Jodlowski and Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho are also part of the program. The event is part of the France-Atlanta 2010 project, a two-week series of lectures, workshops and performances meant to forge new partnerships and strengthen the relationship between France and the Southeast.
8 p.m. Nov. 30. Free. Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 404-733-4444.
Joe Satriani
This technically accomplished guitar virtuoso first gained recognition when former student Steve Vai dropped his name in a few guitar publications in the mid-'80s (other students include Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Charlie Hunter). Satriani's second album, 1987's "Surfing With the Alien," set a new standard for instrumental guitar recordings. Satriani wasn't content just showboating, though his groundbreaking techniques were phenomenal. The album was melodic and ear-catching even if you weren't a guitar aficionado. In recent years, he's been part of the Experience Hendrix tribute tour and the supergroup Chickenfoot (with Van Halen refugees Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony) .
8 p.m. Dec. 1. $45; $42.50 advance. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.

Renewable Energy Could Phase Out Coal Within 20 Years
Coal still currently accounts for 40 percent of the world's power and has
wreaked an incredible toll on the environment over the years. Aside from being a
major factor in skyrocketing carbon
dioxide emissions, the burning of coal is responsible for a substantial amount
of mercury levels in our atmosphere and is a significant contributor to the
formation of acid rain. The mining of coal has destroyed vast swathes of habitat and
poisoned many rivers and streams. While coal is still plentiful, renewable
energy, according to the Institute, is more abundant than all the fossil fuels
In its report, Low-Carbon Energy: A Roadmap, The WorldWatch Institute states cleaner energy sources could see the retirement of hundreds of coal-fired power plants by 2030. The removal of these coal fired power generation facilities could reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by a staggering 33%.
Recent investment into renewable
energy has seen prices for clean power plummet, with wind power now costing
just under US six cents per kilowatt-hour on average in the USA, which is cheaper
than than natural gas and on par with coal.
The report states that a major push for the reduction in coal and oil use in favor of renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar power will not only lessen the effects of the looming climate crisis, it will also stimulate the currently unstable global economy, creating millions of new jobs around the world. By 2006, the U.S. renewables industry had already 386,000 jobs compared with 82,000 jobs in the coal industry.

10 Signs That You're Fully Awake
Isn't it obvious that there is a significant global awakening happening? Just as the Mayans predicted so many years ago, the apocalypse would become apparent in 2012. But many misinterpret the apocalypse to be the end of the world, when in fact it actually means an "un-covering, a revelation of something hidden."
As many continue to argue the accuracy of the Mayan calendar, it can no longer be argued that a great many people are finally becoming aware of what has been hidden from them for so long. Of course this awakening is not an overnight process. It takes time to peel away the many layers of lies to get to the core of the ultimate truths.
It would be beyond pretentious for us to claim to know all of the secrets of the universe. We don't. Everyday we are humbled by what we don't yet know.
However, it is becoming clearer by the day what isn't true. And by that measure alone, it is possible to determine if you're one of the people beginning to wake up.
Here are ten signs you may be fully awake:
1. You know there's no meaningful difference between major political parties (Democrats and Republicans): It's so easy to get caught up the left-right debate and believe there's a difference between the two major political parties. However, debate is one thing, while actions are another. By their deeds you shall know them, and it is indisputable that there is no significant difference between political parties when it comes to action on the most important issues. Even hardened ideologues like John Cusack are beginning to wake up.
2. You understand that the Federal Reserve, or international central banking more broadly, is the engine of our economic problems: Debt slavery is the totalitarian force that threatens all of humanity, not some temporary political puppet or some greedy Wall Street trader. When a small group of people have the ability to create wealth out of nothing and charge interest on it, they have the ability to enslave the planet to their ownership despite what type of government a country claims to have.
3. You know that preemptive war is never necessary: When we realize that self-defense is the only acceptable form of violence, then we become awakened human beings. To suggest war because someone is different from you, or they may pose a threat in the future is simply ludicrous. And when did the idea of bombing civilians become humanitarian? No one wants war except for the immoral creeps that benefit from it.
4. You know that you're being systematically poisoned, how, by whom, and why: Admittedly, there's a lot to learn in terms of how we are secretly being poisoned. But the fact remains that we are being systematically poisoned, and it is likely for the deliberate purpose of dumbing us down and, ultimately, culling the population. Who could believe anyone is so evil to do that to innocent people, you may ask. Well, once you begin to seek the answer to that question, you're one step closer to enlightenment.
5. You understand that government can never legislate morality, nor should they: When you realize the role of government is only to protect your liberty and work for the well being of the citizens, you're awakened. There should be one simple law regulating morality: Do no harm. Thus, it's impossible for the government to enforce morality with guns, cages, and taxes because those clearly cause severe harm to your liberty and our well-being.
6. You know that the mainstream media is wholly owned and manipulated by the ruling elite: A dwindling number of people still actually believe what they hear coming from the establishment media as if it's gospel, even when they already accept that they are bought and paid for by the elite controllers. Yet, recognizing that they are nothing more than a propaganda machine and a form of mind control are the first steps in being able to critically think beyond the scientific messaging they broadcast.
7. You know that your neighbors are not your enemy even if you have fierce ideological disagreements: This is perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome in the awakening process. But it's vital to understand that your neighbors have been indoctrinated and hypnotized like the rest of the us, until someone helps shine a light on inconsistencies in our thoughts and beliefs. Most of their ideas are not their own. They are suffering just like the rest of us. It's okay to condemn their actions if they're harmful, but those who are awake will not give up on spreading information that can enlighten those who might still be in the dark. None of us were born "awake" and all of us can learn even more.
8. You know that the endgame is one-world control of planet Earth: Once you understand that the endgame for the ruling elite is to have complete control of all vital facets of society through a global government, one-world currency, international armed forces, and so on, it is simple to see through the lies and propaganda surrounding even the most confusing world events. You will never go back to sleep when you fully accept this reality.
9. You recognize that there are esoteric powers manipulating our physical world: Whether you're a religious or spiritual person, scientific or just plain curious, there are many theories about an invisible force at play in all of this. Obviously it's impossible to prove exactly what it is. You may not want to believe it, but the ruling elite takes their occult rituals deadly serious. And they likely know something we don't. Just by keeping an open mind about this possibility, you'll forever keep an open mind about the things we can actually see, hear, taste and touch. Current science has shown that we can only "see" what the visible light spectrum reveals, which amounts to the tiniest fraction of all that can theoretically be seen within the full spectrum of energy. Part of any awakening is realizing that there is much more that is possible than impossible.
10. The power to change the world rests with you and you alone: For too long people have believed themselves to be weak, or relied on others to change the world for them. You'll know that you're fully awake when you realize that you have infinite power to change the world by simply living the change you want to see. First, you have to identify the principles that you believe in and then go out and live by them. If just a small minority took steps to do this, it would shake the establishment to its core.
What kind of world do you want to live in?

Fortunately, they've had some foresight into the turbulent economical woes ahead and have included two of these pictured AirG slip on peripherals for the Wii with the game, all for a complete price of $60. PS2 players will have to depend on preexisting game guitars.

This first question is a good one, and might truly be the hardest one of the bunch. BDSM - Bondage & Discipline, Domination and submission, Sadism and Masochism - There are a whole lot of big words being thrown around there, and each one carries with it a whole lot of meaning and misunderstanding. The "alternative lifestyle" culture, for lack of a better term, is something that for the longest time has been looked at by mainstream (so to speak) individuals as being something that was shameful, despicable, scandalous and lewd. Things have changed for the better in that respect over the last ten to twenty years, but I think for the most part, society doesn't want to label BDSM as acceptable any more than they want to accept same-sex marriage. Things will continue to change, however - and hopefully it will continue to change for the better.
Well, I went off on a bit of a tangent there, it seems. Back to the subject at hand! Looking at my own sexual history, it would be more accurate to say that I've undergone a polar shift in my own sexual mannerisms. In my younger years, I was dreadfully self-conscious, and I basically felt that the only way I could achieve a gratifying relationship with a woman was if I made myself subservient to her. This wasn't a conscious choice, but more something I did unconsciously in an attempt to keep the attention of certain women. The problem was, my actions attracted only those women who responded to submissive men - and I didn't gain any gratification whatsoever at being the submissive party in a relationship. Mind you, this was all very subdued and barely noticeable, even by me - I wasn't 'actively' engaging in a D/s relationship, but more accurately I was living in a submissive manner throughout my life to women who dominated my desire to help them, make them happy, and keep them entertained.
It wasn't until near the end of my long marriage to a woman who was mentally dominant in every way that I realized how much I hated and despised the position that I had been put in. What was worse was the reality of the situation - that everything was completely and utterly my fault, because I allowed myself to be put into that position. She dominated me because I allowed her to, and the resentment that grew from it eventually poisoned our relationship enough that I made the choice to leave.
Through this experience, I was able to formulate my core rule of life and relationships - you cannot change people. I spent years trying to bring happiness and contentment to my wife, while she continued to suck at my energies like an emotional vampire, unable to be sated no matter how hard I tried. Women who are constantly enmeshed in drama and need to be 'saved' are as poisonous to themselves as they are to the men that they lure in, because in their never-ending torrents of drama after drama, they eventually use up all of the giving that can be given by their so-called savior men. They savor the feeling of attention they receive when the day's drama brings their rescuer in with guns blazing, but once their white knight has slain the dragon of their issues, they simply create another for him to slay until finally, in a fit of angst, the knight turns his blade on the princess and lops her pretty fucking head off.
You can't change people. Have a chick who's causing you endless drama at every turn? Stop trying to fix her fucked up life, and go fix your own.
Through my own revelations, I came to accept the fact that I enjoy, and am fulfilled by the application of my own assertiveness. I don't consider myself egotistical, and I try to be humble in all things - but when I know I'm right, it's a simple fact. Another revelation I discovered once my new-found self-confidence began to blossom was that women respond to strength and assertiveness like bees to honey. Once I made the decision to live my life the way I wanted to live it, and never apologize for my actions, it was amazing how quickly the attitudes of women around me changed. Call it what you will - the Alpha Male effect on females, what have you… Living my life with no apologies and no regrets almost instantly brought a change about me in the way females interacted.
That having been said - I suppose it would be most accurate to describe myself as a Dominant male. Asserting my will when interacting with my lovely, feeling the rush of power as she willingly concedes her control to me - they all speak to the deeper core of who I am as a spiritual being, rather than just who I am as a person. I don't consider myself a sadist, and I don't gain any pleasure in causing undue pain and agony to my lovely. There is a balance of pain in the sharing of pleasure that enhances the experience, taking it beyond the vanilla and to a new level that is generally beyond the comprehension of those who haven't experienced it. The difference between pure sadism and that of Dominance in the sense that I refer to is that pure sadists cause pain for the pleasure of themselves, and Dominants cause pain for the pleasure of their submissive. The limit to a sadist's pleasure is internal, and has nothing at all to do with the sub's pleasure, whereas a caring Dom knows how and when to apply just enough pain to bring his sub to the peak of her ecstasy.
Discipline is a tool that I enjoy using to regulate and moderate the level of my lovely's pleasure. In her public life she is a successful, assertive achiever that knows exactly what she wants in life, and she works hard to succeed in those goals - yet there is a part of her, the part that presses herself into my hand as I slide my fingers along her cheek - that part yearns and aches for the ability to be not in control, if only for a little while. Assigning her random tasks and goals, establishing behavioral criteria for her to follow gives her that tiny respite from her self-regulated world and allows her for those moments to simply be, and be desired and coveted, with nothing more complicated than that. I have no desire to control and regulate her every movement, like some dutiful parent watching over her so that she will not falter - she is an intelligent, beautiful grown woman, and she has no need of a parent to monitor her every step. My drive to control and guide reaches only so far, yet it has balanced in an amazingly perfect harmony with what my lovely needs in her own life.
Bondage is another wonderful tool that can be used to enhance discipline, and my lovely has spent many an afternoon enveloped by coils of my ropes or restrained by cuffs and straps. It is another method of freeing the psyche, I think - for when she's tied and bound, subject to my every whim, all of those concerns and fears that she carries with her in regards to her everyday life - they all disappear under the wake of her own inability to do anything beyond what I command.
In essence, I believe that the introduction of D/s to the relationship I have with my lovely has allowed many deeper things - but what is most utterly important is that it has allowed me the freedom to be a Man - powerful and assertive and trustworthy, and it has allowed her the freedom to be a Woman - beautiful and sexual and desired.

A sea excursion with amphibian boat 'Ship Ahoy José'is fun!
First you drive on the beach, then the amphibian chooses by the undertow of the golves the wide water of the North sea and half an hour later you return on the beach.
Multi-function beach club with a unique variety of sports on offer, symbolised by the Flemish Catamaran School. A pleasant interaction between training and the members activities.
During the summer months a zone is reserved on the beach for anglers between breakwater 1 and 2. At low tide the water brings up most of the fish between the breakwaters, while at hightide its the roundabout and the beach section between Wenduine and De Haan that yields the greatest amounts of fish.
Activities and services
Membership, moorings, towing service, private lessons, initiation lessons, weekly courses during the summer months, instruction,rental,competitions, rescue, youth cocktails, barbecue and festivities, group sports days and incentives for companies, schools and societies.
Blankenberge has a brand new wellness centre, situated at the Bloso Sports Centre, within walking distance from the railway station.
The Yzerstar is a passenger boat navigating quietly on the river IJzer between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide (IJzertocht = 1h.30' one way). You also have the possibility to do a boat trip (IJzertrip = 1h.15') nearby of Diksmuide.
The ferry navigates between the two jetties at the harbour entrance.
If you are both a landlubber and a water rat and want to know everything about the port of Zeebrugge, then the visit by bus and boat is just the thing for you! A guide fills you in on every little detail and tells you about the day-to-day functioning of the harbour.

This was the first cruise for myself, my husband and my teenage daughter. We didn't know what to expect but had heard horror sthe tories on this very site about every aspect of cruising. The Carnival embarkation process in Long Beach was very organized and moved as quickly as can be expected when there are more than a thousand people to check in and all that luggage to stow aboard. We were warmly welcomed aboard the Pride, a delightful, clean and well-maintained ship.
Our stateroom was surprisingly large and the space well-planned. We had a balcony room and we thoroughly enjoyed the balcony. My daughter was delighted by the towel animals.
All of the food was good and plentiful. I didn't encounter a single crew member who was unfriendly or unhelpful. Steve, the Cruise Director, was very funny and lots of fun when he led various activities.
My only criticisms, which I relayed to the crew before departing, are: 1) I think Carnival could afford to provide bottled drinking water in the staterooms without charging for it and 2) when the ship is in port it pretty much shuts down. If you are not inclined or not able to go ashore, you better have a good book. I think they need to provide activities for those who stay aboard. Otherwise, this is a really fun, relaxing trip. Truly a Fun Ship.

Web Analytics: Your Next Opportunity
Web analytics have been growing in usage and business importance steadily since the middle of this decade. You can look at the launch of Google Analytics as a key event because it allowed for a free, web-based service from a trusted brand. The Wikipedia offers this historical perspective of the launch: The Google-branded version was rolled-out in November 2005 to anyone who wished to sign up. However due to extremely high demand for the service, new sign-ups were suspended only a week later. As capacity was added to the system, Google began using a lottery-type invitation-code model.

Just because we are a "large" country does not mean we need a big federal govt. Only a leftist believes that. The constitution spells it out pretty well, lets just stick to it. A govt that spies on its citizens is too powerful. States should have the bulk of power.

"And what bs would that be? Smaller govt is better.."
So either you think it is bs or it isn't. Based on the whole statement you made, I thought you meant that a smaller govt is better. If I misunderstood..I apologize.

Show me where I said or implied that if we elect a far right president the govt would get smaller? Can you do that>or are you just making up things now.

Besides, you asked if there was anything else "obvious" I wanted to mention and I did. Don't be frustrated when people do as you suggest.
Posted 313 days ago.
You seem to have thought that a smaller govt is the way to go. There is no evidence that would work any better and for some on the far-right...it's not obvious that the govt will never get smaller.
Posted 313 days ago.
Is there anyone suggesting otherwise or are the voices in your head arguing with you again? Like the childish namecalling.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Siblings go here and have learned so much! They enjoy there field trips and have nice teachers , they really enjoy going to school everyday. The activities they have once in a while are fun and creative
I went to this elementary school for five years and was very sad to leave. I am currently a junior in high school. I lived all the teachers and staff. Safe key was great. I was in the jump rope club the first year it started and the yr after that. I am glad to have been a part of something great. I hope to visit after high school.
I have gone to this school all six years and I was sad to go. I had some of the best teachers (Mrs. Swain, Clayman, Mr.Heard) (luckliy I didn't get some of the bad ones that I have seen my friends suffer through). I have seen the best pricipal go and some of the teachers too. I think that as I got older and went to middle school the qualty of the school sank....but I am glad I was there when the school had some of their best staff and money too. I will always have a place in my heart for Tomiyasu Elementary school... because some of the best years were at that school. But I guarantee that if you have kids coming there you won't be disapointed.
I find the principal inept, some teachers are fantastic (Mr. Heard) but others not so much. The school grounds are generally pretty clean. Principal should be replaced
My son is attending extended day Kindergarten at Tomiyasu. My daughter is already enrolled for the 2011-2012 school year! The teacher Mrs. Gallant is simply AMAZING! The extended day program curriculum is enhanced to include additional activities & experiences. Students will have more time to explore topics & assimilate the knowledge they have gained. Anyone remember that saying "Everything I learned about life I learned in Kindergarten"??? Give your kids the best start in their educational careers that you can and sign them up for extended day kindergarten! Open Enrollment til April 30th. (702) 799-7770 for details or register in person. Bring original Birth Certificate, shot records, last 4 of soc, proof of address (mortgage bill or lease agreement), $100 cashiers check or money order, and bank info.Zone variances accepted!!!
I went to this school in 1989 and loved it then later in 2001 completed my student teaching at this school and still loved it! The staff is uncomparable to any other and I have two kids currently in a great elementary school just miles from tomiyasu (frias elementary) and though there school is great Tomiyasu is still my favorite!
This school absolutely rocks. Unfortunately we moved to a new area this trimester, but my daughter was in Paula Gorter's 2nd Grade class until just after Christmas. She was absolutely the best teacher I've had for any of my kids. I was especially impressed with the teaching styles Ms Gorter uses with our children. She puts them in small groups making the children feel like they're getting the full attention of their teacher. My daughter's reading and spelling skills have improved dramatically this year and I have no doubt it was down to the attention and commitment Ms Gorter gave to my child. But best of all at the beginning of the year my daughter was really shy, couldn't speak to anyone and would hide behind me if an adult spoke to her. I found to my amazement she was reading aloud to the class by Christmas. Ms Gorter is amazing.
Mrs. Swain is the most wonderful kg teacher. She provides personalised care great foundation for each and every of her student my kids love her and so do i
I have two girls just starting high school and 1 boy who is now in 2nd grade at this school. It is so much better than the elementary schools my girls went to, the second grade teacher, Ms Gorter, is totally awesome. She spends time with all the kids, even during her lunch, and my little girl is now confident, helpful and best of all happy!! More teachers needs to be like her!
My daughter went to this school her whole elementary years and now my son is going, I love the school and how it feels safe, there is something about the teachers and staff that make you always feel welcome.
We have just one child left at Tomiyasu, in fourth grade. We've been there since 1999, with the other three children going all the way through, coming out well prepared for middle and high. The culture is great - respectful and welcoming. We have a phenomenal new principal this year, 'data' smart and also good with people, a rare combination. In all those years and teachers, there was only one teacher we weren't completely thrilled with (and we have high hopes that the new principal will hold accountable and either get this teacher going on the right track or out). I could go on and on about the absolute miracles all the others have made happen in our kids' lives - Mrs. Gallant, the full-day K teacher, cannot be matched. Mrs. Gardino, Mrs. Galante, Mrs. Clayman - these are just a few of the miracle workers at Tomiyasu. Great PTA too!
I have two kids at Tomiyasu. I, too, am sticking in this school zoning until my kids have all attended Tomiyasu. The school is absolutely phenomenal! Both of my daughter had Mrs. Swain. She is wonderful. One of my daughters also had Mrs. Romeo, although Mrs. Paris has taken over her class this year. I am very displeased with Mrs. Paris, but the rest of the school makes up for it. I just hope my other kids can dodge getting her as their teacher or that Mrs. Paris will have it together by then. For Kindergarten, Mrs. Swain is by far the best teacher I have ever met. The kids love her and so will you. All of the teachers welcome parents in their classroom, with the exception of Mrs. Paris. Mrs. Paris will ignore you, tell you she doesn't have time for you, etc. She's full of excuses.
I saw the comment below. My daughter had many problems with her reading and then did not want to do any homework because her teacher made it hard for her. Then my daughter went to Mrs. Romeo's class. Not only did we see a complete change in our child's attitude, but Mrs. Romeo took the time to meet with us and to offer ways for us to help at home. We were very sad to hear that Mrs. Romeo left the school recently, she was probably the best teacher there.
My daughter has attended Tomiyasu since Kindergarten. She is now in 3rd grade and although we have considered moving, I refuse to move out of this school zone. I do not want to risk her having to attend another elementary school. The principal and teachers work extraordinarily hard to ensure the quality of learning and experiences provided to the students is exemplary. The parents are encouraged to volunteer and the PTA is quite ambitious. Kudos to this 'neighborhood' school!
We love this school so much we were granted a zone pass for the kids to continue!!!!!
I attended Tomiyasu Elementary school the very first day it opened back in the early 1970's. I moved back into the neighborhood just so my daughter could attend this school. Their acceptance and appreciation of parental volunteers is just one of the many reasons I love this school. My daughter started out in Kindergarten in Mrs. Gennie Swain's class and I now concider this woman a beloved friend. She guided my daughter with the expertise of an experienced and caring teacher, and I will forever be greatful for her. I have nothing but admiration for the schools teachers and staff... I even talked my brother into taking a zone variance so his step children could attend Tomiyasu. His kids have improved dramatically since changing elementary schools to attend Tomiyasu, they were attending Jack Daily Elementary and were doing poorly in all subjects. They just love Tomiyasu and their grades are proof!
Two of our grandchildren attended Tomiyasu Elem. We have been very impressed with the education they have received. They started with Mrs. Swain as their kindergarten teacher. She is a remarkable individual. I work with her for two years as an aid. I believe that her organizational skills are a tremendous help to the students. I would rate this school 5 stars. Please, keep up the good work.
I am so grateful that my daughter attends Tomiyasu. There is a real commitment between the teachers, staff, parents, and students achieve the best education possible. As a parent volunteer, I see first hand all of the hard that is put forth by everyone. Way to go everyone!
We love the school and have been very impressed with all of the teachers. Each one has given quality time and attention to our daughter. We have experienced a real feeling of comradery with the other parents and students at the school. People seem genuinely proud of our school and grateful to the teachers. John & Regina
Our family watched a third child enter the Clark County School District this year, and, like other parents, we anticipated the beginning of a new school year with a unique set of hopes and concerns for each child. After our fourth year at Tomiyasu, we find ourselves with increasingly more hopes than concerns for our children, where they experience a unique culture of respect and excellence and benefit from the skill, professionalism and devotion of wonderful teachers. Each of our three has a different learning style and different level of academic motivation, yet the needs of all three have been well-met so far, and we have honestly marveled at their progress and the teachers personal concern for them. We have become very enthusiastic fans of the school and of the Clark County School District because of our experience so far.

Abstract. The Greenland Summit Halogen-HOx (GSHOX) Campaign was performed in spring~2007 and summer~2008 to investigate the impact of halogens on HOx (=OH + HO2) cycling above the Greenland Ice Sheet. Chemical species including hydroxyl and peroxy radicals (OH and HO2 + ROx), ozone (O3), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitric acid (HNO2), nitrous acid (HONO), reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), and bromine oxide (BrO) were measured during the campaign. The median midday values of HO2 + RO2 and OH concentrations observed by chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) were 2.7 × 108 molec cm−3 and 3.0 × 106 molec cm−3 in spring 2007, and 4.2 × 108 molec cm−3 and 4.1 × 106 molec cm−3 in summer~2008. A basic photochemical 0-D box model highly constrained by observations of H2O, O3, CO, CH4, NO, and J values predicted HO2 + RO2 (R = 0.90, slope = 0.87 in 2007; R = 0.79, slope = 0.96 in 2008) reasonably well and under predicted OH (R = 0.83, slope = 0.72 in 2007; R = 0.76, slope = 0.54 in 2008). Constraining the model to HONO observations did not significantly change the predictions. Including bromine chemistry in the model constrained by observations of BrO improved the correlation between observed and predicted HO2 + RO2 and OH, and brought the average hourly OH and HO2+RO2 predictions closer to the observations. These model comparisons confirmed our understanding of the dominant HOx sources and sinks in this environment and indicated that BrO impacted the OH levels at Summit. Although, significant discrepancies between observed and predicted OH could not be explained by the measured BrO. Finally, observations of enhanced RGM were found to be coincident with under prediction of OH.

Traditional fluorescent light fixtures come in 4- or 8-foot lengths, and while they typically provide adequate light to a room, they would hardly be considered elegant. Fortunately, the wiring that provides power to a fluorescent light is identical to the wiring for a chandelier, and the chandelier can be mounted to the same junction box that the fluorescent light used, provided that it is braced in the attic to support the weight. A chandelier can also be controlled by a dimmer, something that a fluorescent light cannot accommodate.
Turn on the fluorescent light at the wall switch. Then turn off the breaker that sends power to the light's circuit.
Place a stepladder directly beneath the fluorescent fixture. Climb the ladder and remove the fluorescent bulbs from the fixture and pop off the cover to expose the wiring and ballast inside the fluorescent fixture.
Hold a noncontact electrical tester against the black wire coming from the hole in the center of the fixture. If the tester's light illuminates, there is still power from the circuit to the fixture. Turn off more breakers (or the main breaker to the house) until the tester no longer shows that power is in the circuit.
Twist off the wire nuts connecting the fixture's wiring to the wires from the light switch. Unscrew the mounting screws holding the fixture to the ceiling using a screwdriver, and set the fluorescent fixture aside.
Crawl into the attic and locate the junction box above the ceiling that will support the ceiling fan. If there is no brace between the ceiling joists providing direct support to the junction box, measure the gap between the joists directly over the junction box, and cut a two-by-four to that length. Position the board directly over the junction box between the joists, and affix the board to the two joists with a pair of 3-inch wood screws through each joint using a power drill.
Return to the room where the chandelier will be mounted. Ascend the ladder and drive two 3-inch wood screws through the bottom of the junction box and into the brace you installed in the previous step to strengthen the junction box so that it will support the weight of the chandelier.
Attach the hanger bar that came with the chandelier to the junction box with a pair of screws. Thread the mounting nipple into the mounting hole in the center of the hanger bar.
Lift the chandelier into place and thread the chandelier's chain holder onto the end of the nipple. Hold the nipple with one hand and hand-tighten the chain holder onto the end of the nipple until it stops turning.
Twist the black wire from the light switch and the black wire from the chandelier together, and connect the bare wire tips with a wire nut. Repeat the process with the white wires. Then wrap the middle of the bare grounding wire from the switch around the grounding screw on the mount, and connect the end of the grounding wire to the ground wire from the chandelier with a wire nut.
Fit the wires into the junction box behind the hanger bar, and raise the chandelier's canopy to the ceiling to cover the junction box. Thread the collar onto the chain holder to secure the canopy in place.
Install the requisite number of chandelier light bulbs into the sockets of the chandelier. Turn on the power at the breaker panel, and test the chandelier at the light switch.
Inspect the ceiling for any mounting holes from the fluorescent fixture that need to be filled. Place a small dab of spackle into the holes using a 2-inch putty knife. After the spackle dries, sand the patch smooth with sandpaper, and touch up the repair with paint if needed.
Things You Will Need
- Stepladder or ladder
- Noncontact circuit tester
- Screwdriver
- Tape measure
- Two-by-four
- Circular saw
- 3-inch wood screws
- Power drill with 4-inch-long screw tip
- Wire nuts
- Chandelier light bulbs
- Drywall spackle
- 2-inch putty knife
- Sandpaper
- Do not attempt to work on any electrical circuit without first turning off the breaker that supplies power to the circuit.

text: Unloved, ignored, and often overlooked, the 2002–2005 Civic Si has always carried with it a stigma of sorts. Whether it be complaints about its handling, unsupported powerplant, recurring quips about "minivan styling," or even its odd (yet surprisingly ergonomically pleasing) shifter positioning, the seventh-generation U.S. Civic hatchback has taken its share of pot shots. While most Civic models become wildly popular, particularly after the initial shock of a new design wears off, the EP chassis never really experienced the love from the majority of the Honda community. Sandwiched between the heralded '99 Si coupe and the red-hot eighth-gen movement, most feel that Honda simply took a wrong turn in the car's overall design. Not surprisingly, we in the States received yet another diluted version of an overseas hot hatch that seemed to wow enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, it was the EP3 Civic Type R that caught the attention of one Cristian Loza, owner of this immaculate blue Si. He adds, "In 2007, I was just about to graduate from college and I needed a cheap, reliable car to get to work and back. I was always heavily attracted to the Civic Type R, but wasn't too into the fact that when the body style was brought over to the States, it was very watered down. That really didn't matter at the time, though, as the car still looked fantastic to me." No doubt a fan of the chassis, Loza wasn't exactly a die-hard enthusiast. His intentions were to use the car as basic transportation, not pour his heart and bank account into a project build. Of course, things can change rather quickly when someone is presented with a "what if" scenario. He adds, "I ended up tagging along with my brother and his friends to Import Alliance 2007 in Nashville, and it totally opened up my eyes to a whole new world. When I got home, I wanted to do so much to my car!" A goal was soon set: have the car prepped and ready to show at Import Alliance 2008. Having only purchased a Spoon shift knob up to this point, Loza began making moves to get the process started. A Civic Type R body kit was ordered, as were a set of adjustable coilovers and a used set of Sprint Hart CPRs. Other minor upgrades took place, and Loza did in fact meet his personal goal, making his debut at the very next big IA event. However, that was but a mere glimpse at how deep his commitment to his newfound hobby had run, and he had no thoughts of slowing his momentum. If you've noticed the wheels but can't remember ever seeing them on another Honda, there's good reason. Loza states, "I had the guys over at Tuner Shop build me a custom set of Trace Tech 2s. I became the first non-European car to have a set of these. I definitely think it gave the exterior a unique look." Along with the one-off wheels, the exterior received a number of OEM CTR parts combined with aftermarket bits from Mugen, Airwalker, and VIS to create an aggressive look. But what good is the bark if there's no bite to back it up? Feeling the same way, Loza jumped at the opportunity when he learned that his close friend Reebs was selling a K20Z1. "At first I was just going to throw the motor in, but while it was out, it was just too hard to pass up the idea of making the bay look its best! My good buddy Dan Horst helped me with the entire swap and tucking the bay. We did run into some wiring issues along the way, but our good friend Alex Nguyen of Living Dreams Auto Salon helped us tremendously." To add a little more luster to the new powerplant, a triple chrome-dipped RBC intake manifold was bolted on moments before the motor made its way into its new home. A Mugen airbox and coil cover draw attention from onlookers, while an All In Fab tucked radiator does the opposite—staying out of sight and lending to the "less is more" look. With four years of steady modding behind him, Cristian Loza created an example of the perfect seventh-gen hatchback that might just help eliminate the stigma that's followed the car since its inception. In closing, he adds, "Since first buying my car back in 2007, I've fallen in love with it and have put more money into it than anything I have ever owned. I'm not too sure what the future holds for her, but I do know that because of it, I have met some of the best people in my life today, and am so glad the build has gone this far and exactly as it has. I hope my build inspires someone out there because looking back at what this car used to be versus what it has become today has definitely inspired me with many things outside of cars." 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Rodrez Enjoyed this Post?

Written by:
you are as St Thomas….
my friend
you are warm and serene
you are a tranquil isle
in the midst of my chaos
thank you for your genial sand
and your amiable waves
they hold me aloft
in my sea of sorrow
you are a mellow place
to disembark from the storm
that sometimes rages
(a bit out of control)
you don't try to change me
you guide me to safety
in your kind way
your laugh lights me up
in moments of angst
when I flutter about
blind and wounded
Yes….you are just as St Thomas
with a balmy breeze
and endless ocean mystery
brilliant in your clarity
and sweet in your honesty
tropical island smile
palm tree heart
you sway with the tempest
a harbor with a beacon light
to shine my pathway bright
when rough times pummel
you smooth the way
troubled Cobblestones
just disappear
in the wake of your empathy
(shoreline replaces)
I see miles of infinite blue
and I can shine again
because of you…..
Dedicated to a very dear friend who has helped me and my heart in so many ways. To heal
and to feel happy to be me. This poem was written to let him know how much he means to

Tarleton State returns to the field Saturday at Angelo State facing another tough test against a rushing attack that leads the Lone Star Conference.Kicking off at 7 p.m. in San Angelo, the Texans take on an opponent that is averaging more than 304 yards on the ground and 516 yards overall in offense, both LSC bests. The Texans (1-0, 1-0 LSC) defeated last season's LSC rushing leader, Midwestern State, 27-24 last week and held the Mustangs to only 79 yards on the ground."We've always had success in stopping the run," Tarleton State coach Cary Fowler said. "We believe that you have to stop the run to win football games. We practice it and our kids understand it. Simplicity is probably the key, not trying to do too much and overrun the ball."Angelo State quarterback Kyle Washington ran for 139 yards and a touchdown and completed 20 of 34 passes for 173 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 45-24 loss to CSU-Pueblo last week. Angelo State is 1-1.The Texans feature an offense led by a two-man rotation at quarterback Seniors Aaron Doyle and Jake Fenske each led the Texans in the upset over NCAA Division II No. 13 MSU. Fenske threw for 107 yards passing and two touchdowns, and Doyle added 75 yards passing."They embrace it and cheer each other on," Fowler said. "It is the thing that encourages me most. There is no selfishness on the team. We have two quarterbacks who are best friends and watch each other play and are ready to play when they get their chance."

Come on bro.. All she wants is for you to try. To just be there for her whenever she needs you most. To start her mornings with cute messages that had been sent while she was asleep. & to end every night to the sound to your voice as "i love yous'" roll off your tongue. Those days and nights where you guys spend hours doing completely nothing but cuddling. Her heart doesn't have a value or price on it. But it does have rules and expectations you need to go by. She expects you to love her. She wants you to make her your number one priority. She wants you give her respect and to be loyal within the relationship. Shes your girl, and dont take her for granted, because im sure guys that know they can treat her better are waiting in line. Enough with the games and enough with the fake spit. Don't give her a hard time for something you have done. Don't push her away just because you know that you can, One day shes going to get sick of everything and stop chasing.

In an otherwise boring first half, Tony Romo found Miles Austin for a 42-yard touchdown catch to give the Cowboys at 13-7 lead at halftime over Tampa Bay.
Early on the Cowboys run defense has looked suspect allowing over 100-yards in the first half. The Cowboys got on the board with two Nick Folk FG's. Tampa answered with a Cadillac Williams TD run to make it 7-6.
Demarcus Ware gave the Cowboys a scare after leaving with a head injury. He returned the following series.

I was nervous trying this recipe for a dinner party with no rating but it was definitely worth it. They were incredible. I made all three versions and my favorite were the curry and the garlic and chives. The honey mustard was good too, just not the best. I didn't have any honey roasted peanuts so I used toasted pecans. I will definitely do this again.

Pediatric Neurology Residency Program
Health System Overview
MUSC Medical Center
The MUSC Medical Center is a tertiary care center with a total of 709 licensed beds. Children's Hospital contains 108 of these beds, not counting semiprivate rooms. MUSC provides care to more than 33,000 inpatients (4,700 children between 0-17 years) and more than 646,000 outpatients (1.2 million including ancillary services) every year. In addition, there are 58,000 emergency room visits annually.
The Medical University Hospital 9 West inpatient unit is shared jointly by the divisions of Neurology and Neurosurgery. The unit consists of consists of 23 private rooms, although patients can be admitted to any of the acute care beds in the hospital. The occupancy rate averages 97%. Eight of the rooms are wired with long-term video EEG monitoring equipment. Patients present from the emergency department, MUSC resident and physician clinics, private clinics, outside hospitals, and other hospital units with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic neurologic disorders. The consultation service covers the Medical University Hospital inpatient units (other than 9 West) and five ICUs, as well as the adjacent Institute of Psychiatry. Although the Institute of Psychiatry is located in a separate building, it is an integral part of the Medical University Hospital.
Children's Hospital is comprised of three pediatric units (7A and 7B: toddlers and infants; 7 East: older children and adolescents), an intermediate care unit (7C), Pediatric ICU, Pediatric Cardiac ICU, Neonatal ICU, and an emergency department. Four of the rooms on 7 East are equipped with state-of-the-art EEG equipment and video monitors for long-term video EEG monitoring. The Pediatric ICU has 11 beds, the Pediatric Cardiac ICU has 12 beds, and the Neonatal ICU has 66 beds.
The Neurophysiology and Sleep Laboratories are located on the first floor of the Clinical Sciences Building, which is contiguous with the Medical University Hospital and Children's Hospital. The Neurophysiology Laboratory has three rooms dedicated to routine and 6-hour EEGs (one of which is shared with the sleep laboratory). Other electrophysiologic studies, including SSEPs and VERs, are also conducted in this area. The Sleep Laboratory, which is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, is comprised of three beds.
Adult Neurology outpatient clinics—including the residents' continuity clinic, specialty clinics, and general neurology clinics—are located on the 2nd, 6th, and 9th floors of Rutledge Tower (RT). This building is connected to Medical University Hospital, MUSC Children's Hospital and Storm Eye Institute by a skywalk. There are 10 clinic rooms on RT-2, 13 clinic rooms on RT-6, and 6 clinic rooms on RT-9. EMG/NCS laboratory facilities are located within the RT-9 area.
Child Neurology outpatient clinics are located on the 1st floor of Rutledge Tower. The clinic consists of 12 examination rooms; an intake/triage room; a phone triage area; a charting area with multiple computers, printers, phones, and reference materials; and a small conference room. There is also office space for the nurse practitioners and clinic nurse coordinator.
Ralph H. Johnson Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center
The Ralph H. Johnson Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a 117-bed facility located two blocks from the MUSC Medical Center. It provides a full range of primary, secondary, and tertiary care services to veterans along the South Carolina and Georgia coasts, including acute medical, surgical, and psychiatric inpatient care as well as primary and specialized outpatient services and nursing home care.
The Neurology inpatient service does not have dedicated beds. Rather, the service is able to admit to any open bed in the VA Hospital. The Neurology outpatient service maintains six examination rooms in the outpatient clinic area. The clinic is in operation four days per week with a resident continuity clinic, General Neurology clinic, Movement Disorders clinic, Epilepsy clinic, ALS clinic, and EMG procedure clinic. A Botox procedure clinic will be added within the year. In FY2010, the Neurology outpatient clinic served 2,369 patients. All records are computerized at the VA, and there is ample access to both the internet and the electronic medical record system.
Other physical facilities at the VA Medical Center include an emergency department and radiology services, both of which are open 24 hours/day 7 days/week. There is one CT scanner and one MRI scanner.

The Wannabe Wes Anderson - how did they know?
Interesting though I don't use instagram as I rarely use my cell phone camera. it's strictly a backup of a backup when I don't have my real one with me and need to take a photo of something.
"The Cool Guy"... I don't usually go straight towards Nashville, but I usually end up choosing it. But that description is kind of fitting for me, although I've never ended up backstage with a band.
So no one over 54 uses Instagram? I'm almost 60 and I use it daily. My most used are Lo-Fi and Brannan.
Wow. So... nothing nice at all to say about anyone at all? Amazingly obnoxious.

Its open enrollment time for employer-sponsored health care programs, and the vast majority of participants in plans sponsored by the private sector are going to see costs rise. Price hikes in the 10-20% range are likely, according to health care consulting firms. The increases will cross the spectrum of services, as companies are charging higher premiums and higher co-payments for visits to the doctor and higher co-payments for prescription drugs, even as health care plans offer fewer benefits.
Deductibles Rising
Last year, the average deductible in Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans rose 30%, according to the Kaiser Foundation. Participants in plans that once charged no co-payments at all for doctor's visits are likely to face payments in the $35 range in 2010. The costs for medical procedures are rising to, as they are increasingly being billed as a percentage of the total expense instead of a flat co-payment, pushing an ever-large slice of the bill on to the patient. Payments of 20% or more will become increasingly common.
The increased costs will be coupled with a reduction in choice, as employers phase out expensive, high-end plans and drop coverage for services such as dental and vision. (For guidance on how to sort through the various plans and figure out which health care option might work for you, read How To Choose A Healthcare Plan.)
As the high-end plans disappear, a greater push is being made to force employees into high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). Many HDHPs require participants to fund out-of-pocket payments that range into the thousands of dollars, essentially offering little more than the equivalent of catastrophic coverage.
In the past, employers often made contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs) to help offset the costs of HDHPs make them more attractive. Employees could invest the contributions in mutual funds or other investments in an effort to increase the available amount. In a double whammy, many employers have eliminated their contributions as a result of the economic downturn and, to add insult to injury, the stock market crash reduced balances in some HSAs.
While the rising costs are putting a financial burden on middle-class workers and their families, the plight of the poorest among us is even worse. For the more than 43 million uninsured people living in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, the best plan our politicians have been able to up can be summed up in three words: Don't get sick. As prices continue to rise, that plan is likely to expand to include many of the people who have employer-sponsored health care coverage. (To lessen the bit of health care costs, read 20 Ways To Save On Medical Bills.)

Moms Bang Teens special with Casi James and Brandi Love! After a good, hard workout at the gym, these banging chicks go straight for the tub, but they're not getting rest or clean just yet: their horny for a nice long fuck sesh! The cans on these whores are amazing, bouncing up, down, and all around as they gyrate with their asses to some thong play, getting themselves some nice camel toe along the way. After taking off their underwear, these fat ass cheeks get busted wide to reveal great pink ass holes and peachy, soaking wet pussies on Moms Bang Teens! These girls take it to a different level, loosening each other up some deep finger play and digging one another out before go all the way with some hardcore fisting! These chicks bitch and moan with these giant fucking fists up their pussies, getting a better workout with all this fucking around than at the gym! While chilling at home, an amazingly hot old classmate of mine that used to be super shy stopped by to say she moved to the area. I invited her in for some lunch but what I never expected was that she was actually hungry for dick! She led me to a bed and stripped off my clothes, and definitely wasn't ready for the incredible head. She sucked on my hard cock till it was sloppy enough to shove inside her. This chick rode it like a professional, moaning and yelling to get pounded harder the whole time! We went at it in every which way, fucking in doggy and sideways cowgirl. I got one of the best nuts I've had in a long time, splooging all over this gorgeous girl's face!
