How likely is it that Europe and China will seem less risky over the next few months? Notice the exact wording of my question. I'm not looking for an actual solution to the deep-seated problems of the European currency union or a rebalancing of the Chinese economy and reform of the Chinese banking system. Instead I'm trying to gauge whether we'll see temporarily convincing short-term moves that raise confidence in those two economies.
And the answer to the question, when it's phrased that way, is that an increase in short-term confidence is likely in the next two months.
Optimism on Europe, China
November is likely to bring a formal request from Spain for the European Central Bank to start a program of buying Spanish government debt, as well as a disbursement of the next payment of cash to the Greek government from the European rescue fund.
Neither of these acts will solve the eurozone debt crisis in the longer term. I think Greece will need another write-down of its debt sometime in 2013, and this time the ECB will have to swallow the bitter medicine and participate in the write-down. And I think bond-buying support for Spanish government debt won't significantly add to Spain's economic growth; reduce the country's horrific unemployment rate; save its regional governments from what amounts to bankruptcy; or make the huge amounts of bad real-estate debt disappear from the balance sheets of Spanish banks. All these efforts will do is buy time.
But -- and this is the crucial aspect, from an investor's point of view -- November's actions will reduce fears that the eurozone is about to blow up and that Greece and/or Spain is about to be thrown out of the club and into international default. That may not bring cash flooding back into European assets -- the eurozone economies will still be near recession levels of growth -- but it will be enough to reduce the demand for U.S. assets as a hedge against a European disaster.
China is in an analogous position. Its financial markets have rallied in the past six weeks on a belief that the third quarter marks a bottom for China's economic growth rate. Recent weeks have brought retail-sales, export and money-supply numbers suggesting that August may have been the low and that September has brought a modest recovery. The fear of a hard landing for China's economy will recede as long as we don't get data that turn current hopes into disappointment.
What's the effect of all this on the markets?
- The dollar weakens against the euro. That's good for commodity prices, which are likely to move up on hopes for Chinese economic growth. It also leaves room for gold to advance on a decline in the U.S. currency and fears over the U.S. fiscal cliff.
- Emerging-market stocks will look more attractive as fears that the eurozone debt crisis will blow up ease, temporarily, to a simmer from a boil.
- China stocks in particular and emerging-market stocks in general should get a boost as fear of a Chinese hard landing diminishes and as hope rises that China's growth rate has bottomed.
- Better-than-expected economic growth in the United States will, of course, improve the prospects of U.S. stocks. But to investors who fear the U.S. fiscal cliff, non-U.S. companies that export to the United States might be a better way to play this extra growth.
How scary is the cliff?
The exact way this plays out across global markets depends largely on how scary the U.S. fiscal cliff starts to seem.
If it's very scary, I think we'll see a continuation of the recent trend of most markets and assets moving together. If the U.S. looks like it's headed off a fiscal cliff, I think it will be hard to imagine other markets moving up. The one asset I'd expect to do well in this scenario is gold, which would rally on fear and the fall of the U.S. dollar.
If, however, the U.S. scenario is only moderately scary, I think we will see some markets move out of strict correlation. A moderately scary crisis is enough to make investors think about whether the potential of a 9.2% gain in U.S. equities (that's the distance to the 1,565 top of 2007 from the Oct. 19 S&P close of 1,433) makes up for the risk of a credit downgrade, a fiscal logjam in Congress or an irresponsible compromise that rattles credit markets. When the bullish analysts on Wall Street are offering you only a 9.2% potential gain from current prices, it doesn't take much fear to make the offer unattractive.
And in this case, emerging-market stocks would make an attractive alternative -- if growth in China looks like it has stopped tumbling. Certainly the potential upside is more attractive. The Shanghai Composite Index is down 38.1% from July 2009 and down 63.2% from its November 2007 high. That's enough potential, if macro trends don't make any risk look too risky, to make China and other emerging markets attractive in any less-than-really-scary global scenario.
The moves to make
In practical terms, what does that suggest you do?
Check your portfolio's exposure to gold and other precious metals. Gold has done reasonably well this year, with the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) exchange-traded fund up 9.86% as of the close on Oct. 19. But that does trail the S&P 500 so far this year (up 15.96%). I think those relative performances could reverse in 2013, with gold leading the S&P.
I don't think you need to move out of all your U.S. positions by any means. But I would concentrate on sectors that show some ability to outgrow the general U.S. economy right now. Two I'd suggest:
- Housing and housing-related stocks, which are big beneficiaries from the Fed's newest round of quantitative easing.
- Technology shares, which have been battered by bad earnings news from PC sector leaders Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT). (Microsoft publishes MSN Money.) This week brings a quarterly earnings report from Apple (AAPL), which will go a long way to determining the near-term chances of a technology rally.
A little further down the road, check to see how scary the U.S. fiscal cliff crisis seems to be. The scarier it is, the more you should look for safety in your U.S. stock portfolio. I'd look to dividend payers and consumer stocks, especially if they've been crushed lately, like McDonald's (MCD) was last week.
At the same time, I'd be slowly adding positions in China, Brazil and other emerging markets. My column "4 good (and 5 bad) China stocks" gives you some suggestions on stocks to look at and how to stage any buying in that market. I'll be taking a similar look at Brazil in the next week or so.

What ever you're smoking I'd like to get some!
So we are betting that Politicians won't be so stupid? Holy smokes, I need more Guns & Gold, Lemme see, how stupid can politicans be? They steal Postage! They jump in the Yaught Basin with hookers, They grab the leg of the guy in the next toilet. They declare that a **** is not sex and they did not have sex with that women. They think there are 57 States. Here, in Jersey they crash cars at High speed and have sex with truckers at the NJ Turnpkie rest stops.
C'mon Jim, Politians can be plenty stupid, and when time runs out and they can't kick the can any further down the road and the can falls over the fiscal cliff, I think we are going to see records set in Stupid that belong in the Guiness Book of Records.
In the mean time I'll stick with Gold & Guns, as well as quality stocks paying increasing dividends covered by earnings in Oil, Commodities, Food, Water and a wee bit of Tech.
It's the normalcy bias so obvious in these "fiscal cliff" scenarios that I find amazing. Always told from the standpoint of "If I tell a lie, may God strike me dead." Well, we all know how that ends up.
God's existense has become a straw man argument.
Even if you get away with it, like this country has by not addressing the real problems. The problems don't go away, the consequences of not dealing with them just gets worse. This is because things do change whether you're inclined to worry about things actually getting worse or not.
Mr. Jubak here says how the U.S. will not be facing anything like a "Thelma and Louis" event if our dysfuntional government really does take the country over some "fiscal cliff." That attitude was not okay the first time, when the country still had a AAA credit rating. That attitude is even more inexcusable with the truly untested AA credit rating the coutnry now has. If you don't live responsibly, sooner or later, lightning does strike back.
Every American has seen this happen at least once in their life, even after abject apologies for almost destroying the country have been offered, and promises that the same thing will never ever happen again are made. The truth is that the country hasn't learned anything. And what about the lightning? It's on the side of Thelma and Louis.
We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

Rachel Maddow is one gorgeous woman, and not just in her yearbook picture (right). Though for some reason, that photo, which has been making the rounds on the Internet, is getting right wingers all seriously hot and bothered.
Maybe it's the pearls.
Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller saw it and wondered if Media Matters would get "madder than usual if I say that she was very lovely." Daily Caller, by the way, is the same blog that has made a habit of calling Maddow a man.
And when Rush Radio 99.5 had Senator David Vitter on as a guest the other day, the guys had nothing better to talk about than Rachel Maddow's yearbook photo. Vitter is the Republican Senator from Louisiana with a diaper fetish whose phone number appeared on the "D.C. Madam's" phone list. The same Republican senator who kept Brent Furer, an aide who pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a knife-wielding altercation with an ex-girlfriend, on the payroll. Furer handled women's issues for the senator. Of course he did.
During the interview, the radio jockeys suggested that Vitter post some old photos of himself on the Internet. One brought up Maddow's high school yearbook photo and joked that she looked "like a woman" in the picture.
Vitter laughed and said: "Must have been a long time ago."
The senator has since apologized to Maddow in a letter:
Dear Rachel,
Regarding my remark during a radio conversation today, I apologize.
The hosts made their comment and I obviously chimed in. While we do not usually agree on the issues, I do not think you deserved that comment.
So why are these guys so intent on calling Maddow a man, anyhow?
Because she ditched the long blonde hair and pearls in favor of cropped hair and no makeup.
On second thought, it must be because she's a lesbian.
Image via Poster Planet
Is she really a lesbian? I didn't know that. I thought that someone would definitely say that about her because she is rather manly on her show. However, I don't enjoy watching her because I feel that she's just copied Keith Olberman. I prefer watching him when I'm in the mood for political aggravations.
That is the most shallow story I have every read. If that is what readers want to see, no wonder USA is in the shape it is in. No wonder Obama got his herd to swallow the Koolaid so easily. Most of them are still hooked, and doing the Obama dance. Don't have a clue that America is caught in the Obama whirlpool of destruction of freedom and rights, as well as the tanking of the economy. Obama says," Since I don't have amy clue of what to do, I think I will tackle the health care system and fix it." Well, you ignorant marxist, it wasn't broken. So,Suzanne, keep the trivial bubble-gum coming for the weak minded can read the pictures.
Yeah, she's gay Pishyah. And quite proud of it.
Pete, everything about your comment reeks of rudeness and callousness. I'm assuming you dislike the article because you dislike Rachel.
Koolaid? Seriously. If you don't know the history of that phrase, learn it and learn why you shouldn't use it. If you DO know the history and continue to use it, yikes!
ANYWAY... I'm surprised her hair was so BLOND! I actually prefer her shorter, brown hair now though. I think it's more flattering for her face shape.
Interesting Pete, that you think reporting on this is shallow... but you say nothing about the fact these guys spend their time talking offensively about the looks of a fellow political commentator on-air. That's really what's shallow here.
Pete's real agenda here was to call Obama a Marxist and insinuate what appears that Obama is a Communist. What I really think he wanted to parrot is what Beck is spewing that Obama is bringing Socialism to America, which has already been here for many years. Pete if he is a good Capitalist will of course turn down his medicare and social security, I don't think I have read anywhere where any of the ultra right is doing that. And Pete, there is a really a difference between Socialism and Communism and you need to learn that before your next anti-Obama campaign.
In fairness, the picture was taken when it was a woman, before the botched operation.
Who knew she was a blond?

Supporting Local Students, One Ounce At A Time
Wine tasting event to fund educational programs.
Santa Clarita food and wine connoisseurs can look forward to a stimulating evening as the Castaic Education Foundation prepares to host its Sweethearts for Education Wine Tasting Event. Starting at 6 p.m. on February 11, devoted oenophiles and first-time tasters alike will enjoy many gourmet flavors at the Salt Creek Grille.
Appetizers and desserts will accompany the tastings, and various drawings and a raffle will round out the festivities. Proceeds from the event will support the Foundation's efforts to maintain high-quality programs for local students.
"The donations received from events last year helped us install a new running track at North Lake Hills Elementary," said Diane Fiero, chair of the Castaic Education Foundation. "The funds also allow us to grant teachers the needed resources for other educational projects and programs. In these tough budget times, community support is needed more than ever before."
Tickets cost $45 each. Those interested should call Marcela Kocen at 661-702-9551, or email email@example.com to reserve a spot.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
May 1, 2003
(Atlanta-AP) -- Governor Perdue will reimburse the state $373 for a trip he took in a state helicopter to a quail hunt in January.
The governor decided yesterday to reimburse the state after a citizen filed a complaint with the governor's inspector general.
He made the trip to an insurance company's plantation in south Georgia January 24th at the end of his second week in office. The week before, Perdue had signed an executive order for a strict ethics policy. It barred any state employee, including himself, from accepting "anything of value exceeding $25."
Perdue spokeswoman Kimberly King said the trip combined hunting with a discussion of state business with U.S. Republican Representative Charlie Norwood of Georgia. But King says upon reflection the governor and his aides decided the trip "may not pass the sniff test." Perdue met Norwood at a plantation near Nashville, Georgia, that belongs to Life of the South, an insurer based in Jacksonville, Florida.
This marks the second time in recent weeks that Perdue has decided to pay back the state for use of a state helicopter. An Atlanta television station reported in April that Perdue's campaign would reimburse the state for a helicopter flight he took to a Republican rally in Blackshear before he was inaugurated.
King said at the time that Perdue took a side trip to the rally December 14th while making an official visit to a Georgia Southern University football game. She called it "an oversight" and said the governor decided to repay the state after the matter was brought to his attention.

New Delhi: Law Minister Salman Khurshid, who is embroiled in a controversy over allegations of misappropriation of funds by his trust, has put off his Haj pilgrimage, according to sources close to him.
His decision to put off the week-long visit for Haj also comes amid speculation of an impending reshuffle in the Union Cabinet. Khurshid was scheduled to leave for Haj on Sunday.
He has been under attack from Arvind Kejriwal following a TV sting which alleged that the Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust run by the Minister and his wife had misappropriated funds meant for providing equipment to the disabled. Khurshid had refuted the allegations even as the Uttar Pradesh government is probing them.

What if... Someone invented teleport...
What if... someone invent teleport.
Basically you can teleport anything or anyone anywhere on earth, maybe even to moon or Mars, just ignore all technological difficulties for now.
The question is, what would be economical consequences, with teleport we don't need any transport and all related businesses are not needed. Lots of people would lose their job. At the same time this bring almost unlimited opportunities and grow.
Also should inventor give for free blue prints to build teleport to anyone without any control or hide it so no one would do anything stupid as people are not ready for this kind of technology ?

Sep 18 2013: If we assume that creating artificial atmosphere for a planet is possible,with the possibility of teleportation. In that case humans would spread their footprint all across the galaxy.There would be Inter planetary trade systems, resources exchange companies, employment etc ..... which is economically beneficial.

Thank you Mike Schramm for addressing this issue. At this point in our country it has become increasingly diffucult for some people to get by on what means they have. With the recent market crash and recesion that our country is going through, and don't kid yourself we are in a recesion, it would be easy for many of us playing WoW to hang it up and bput that money toward better things. So I don't think that were bitching when we get upset about the server issues going on across all realms. Like I have said before Blizzard needs to slow down with their product output and wait until that product is ready for release, rather than rushing it in order meet some arbitrary deadline.
In advance to those who would respond, "oh its not that big a deal a couple of downtimes isnt that bad." Ok that might be fine for some but for others that only have certain hours on certain days to play, it sucks. Further still for those who do raiding who get half-way through a dungeon but then get kicked because the "world server" is down, really puts a drain on their progress. Then they have to try and get their group back together, GL with that. I hope people understand where I'm coming from. I feel that as paying subscribers to this game we all have the right for constructive criticism of the product. Those are my thoughts I hope someone else realizes, like I do, that Blizzard has started to go away from what made them great. I just hope they get back on track.

The Tour
This tour had it's birth place when Melissa and I both converged on the idea to slow down our lives a little, to live more simply, and to (more so for me) to learn to appreciate the little things again. Life for us in Salt Lake City was cozy and surrounded by great friends but traveling the world at ten miles per hour was never far from our minds. I rode my bike daily to and from work and Melissa and I always looked forward to rides downtown and to the parks. When we were not cycling long distances, traveling via automobile, we would see the occasional packed biker would always make time to stop to ask their story. Traveling slowly and more consciously just had a better ring. So after many road trips and car camping trips with the tour approaching we sold the car, gifted items to thrift shops, and packed up the house, storing most of the large and discarding the rest. Since then we have been looking towards the horizon and endless pedaling. Leaving things behind and not becoming too attached to those items which made life "comfortable" was not difficult for us, more so it was liberating.
Now after some time on the road we can sit back and smell the wheat fields, moss covered ponds, sun beaten dirt, and the sweet pine sap from the forest. We have the opportunity to sleep where ever we feel, eat whenever we want, and take cat naps when the sun proves to harsh. Life on a bicycle is more like a religion for us. Slowing life down makes you appreciate the next bend in the road, the next mountain in the distance, and most importantly the time to spend inside ourselves, ever striving to make ourselves better people and the world a better place. This all may seem very charming and cheesy but after you have deep felt conversation with complete strangers, made friends instantly with fellow travelers, and have been humbled by the cold morning and animals at night, life truly does seem to take on a new color.
We see things much differently on the road, more clearly. We communicate better, although I am still, I think, a pain in the ass. Melissa and I have created more memories thus far on the tour than we ever could have imagined before we left. That is not to say we were not adventurous back home, we were and have plenty of memories stack piled from the past couple of years, but at the end of the day we would always get to go home to our "comfortable" space. Out here our "comfortable" survives only by moving on to something new never staying stationary for too long. The most memorable moments living on a bicycle are those times of hardship, hairy arm pits (Melissa), broken bike pumps, harsh winds, retched heat, and grueling climbs up mountain sides. The road is a place where the simple comforts of a couch, TV, or AC dont exist and one starts to appreciate a simple four mile an hour breeze or a mere foot of extra road space. The simple fact is no matter how tired we are, how beat down we feel from the day of biking, or how smelly we may be after not seeing water in a few days we are in this for the journey and we are living that journey every step of the way. Life has it more raw out here and that is what the route and tour bring to us…raw love of traveling and experiencing new and sometimes awkward situations and experiences.
Melissa and I don't have a set route. The nudging factors which set our course basically boil down to cycling through beautiful country. Our direction is determined by local opinions, good energy draws, and wherever there is green on a map. Nature is our drive and will be the main determinate for our destinations. We have our sights set on exploring the northern US then down the coast on Highway 1. Our plan is to make a giant loop up to Glacier National Park, then over to Olympia National Park, down the coast to San Diego, across Nevada and up through the Grand Canyon, Zion, Brice, then back to Salt Lake City before December 2012. Following us that first loop we plan to take a trip within a trip. Come January we will depart to Asia to backpack around without the bikes or Avenue. My brother Matt married a super cool woman from Taiwan, Susy, and they will be celebrating their wedding sometime in March 2013. Melissa and I figured this would be an opportune time to experience Asia.
After we arrive back home to the states sometime around the end of March 2013, we will once again pick up our bikes and start pedaling south towards Argentina…from there the sky is the limit. We hope our route takes us through Austin, Little Rock (where I spent a majority of my time on my first bike tour. VIEW 2009 BLOG ENTRIES HERE), Louisiana, Florida, then across the ocean to Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, etc…all this could change with the blink of an eye (and already has changed several times) since we are both open to any kind of experience that comes our way. The best we can do is log where we have been and share it with you.

|My Dear and respected friend!
|Olden barneveld 2 Oct. 1813
I can Scarce persuade myself, that I Stay'd with you So many days—and conversed on So few Subjects only, upon I did want your information, I could only glance at your Library—had no time to Satisfy my greedy curiosity—and forgot even to look at the consolato del mare and other rare Publiations in your possession but I am apprehensive, this would have been the case had I protracted my visit during So many weeks:—So interesting a Society—So much information to be gathered—So many civilities—what do I Say? So many kindnesses to be hoarded up! how could I find time for recollection—and then by which all this, how highly valued, dwindles to a Shadow—your affectionate tender friendship—your distinguished regards—So far exceeded my most Sanguine expection, that I could not but enjoy, not even reflecting, as I am apprehensive I did not, that I could not but imbue others with an indifferent opinion about me by my bluntness and casual reveries. It could not have this effect upon you, I know I did not, and it was an exquisite pleasure to experience, that it did not So on your excellent Lady—She would not else have condescended to honour me with so many proofs of her regard, which Shall never be obliterated—
The communication of the Letters of John Quincy—has increased, if possible, my exalted admiration of him—now I know Him as a Christian—able to instruct others in what he learn'd to believe. I have a faint hope, that—Sooner or later—I Shall be gratified with the continuance of these letters:—Well may His Parents pride themselves in Such a Son! what blessing has a bountiful God bestowed upon them in this gift. But—how Shall I my Dear and respected friend! shew you my thankful heart if my warm expressions are deficient—I hope—they are not—All the distinctions—bestowed upon me—all the kindnesses I received muneris id tui est—I am nevertheless apprehensive—that your too partial encomiums must have disappointed the curiosity of Some;—I Should regret, if all had been disappointed;—No—not quite so,—one and other penetrated thro the veil—which clouded my uncouth appearance and did justice to my Strange Situation being alternately the prey of joy and anguish. No language can express—what I felt—Such exquisite raptures—Such torturing pangs—you knew—the impetuosity of my manhood—in my old age I am carried away by the Same resistless torrent, and begin to ponder—how to controul it, when I have indulged those feelings even to excess—Such a Strange creature is man when not governed by reason—and yet—if She—with Religion as her aid—Springs Soon enough to our assistance—I am disinclined to shrink at the danger—I would not prefer that cold phlegm character—which can look a fall'n brother—unmoved. I can earnestly endeavour to draw attention, but am not Satisfied—if this is not followed by esteem—and that again by love of friendship—while these must be glowing warm at my own hart—or I Suffer—! I lament yet Buckminster's death—more so after I have Seen his features
What then must have been the feelings of my bosom at the bedside of my young friend charles—in the presence of his deep afflicted—and yet composed—yet resigned Mother and Sisters! I was motion less Speechless—grasping now and then his Stretched hand, when a Faint Smile on his visage—a kind word of intended comfort—a Strong proof of attention, as if nothing more Serious occupied his mind that instant—to dispel our gloom—was given—and then returning to his distressed venerable Father, who in vain endeavoured to hide his Sorrows—while a barring tear Startled in his eye—when I was compelled—to crush a moment my own feelings—to cheer him up—o! my friend! this—this was yet the Severest trial—
Much time Shall pass away—before my ruffled mind regains its wonted composure—I remain in an anxious Suspense—having not yet received a line—not wishing—that his lingering may be protracted—and not darning decidedly desire his departure. But how I wander—raving indeed—and wanting an apology—if I did not write to Adams—of Such a failing wanted one by Him—I did intend, when I toke up my pen, to write you—few lines only to accompany Goëthens exposition of the two mosaic Fables—I shall now inclose it.
Present my respectful compliments to Mrs[expansion sign] Adams—remember me to your Honoured family—do not forget to recommend me to Mr Shaw—while I remain / My Dear and high respected frend / Your affectionate and obliged frend
Fr. Adr. van der Kemp
P.S. Will you remember me to Mr & Mrs. Quincy—?
Does Is that Biography of the Quincy's—Send to Mr Allen by your
Lady—published? what is the title?
Again a mail arrived—and not yet a line from my dying friend—Ah! why are you not yet in the vigour of your age, or in his neighbourhood, then I Should dare to request you the boon of visiting Him—now—I request you—to Sollicit and induce your friend Shaw, to oblige me with this act of kindness.

67 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all interviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Management Trainee Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Cintas in August 2014.
I was recruited off of LinkedIn for the Management Trainee position in Denver, CO. I had a phone interview with the recruiter. An in person interview with the HR director, and in person interview with the office manager, and an in person interview with the General Manager. The questions are all STAR based and pretty much repeat from person to person.
Overall, the company and position is super corporatey-cheesy. It seriously reminded me of this corporate cheesy restaurant I worked at. I knew that the job was not going to be for me but went along with the process anyway (which worked out, because I did not get an offer). They are looking for new or soon to be grads who have no office experience, but are willing to work their butts off day and night for little money. The work is hard, gross and long hours. Every time I left their offices, I thought to myself "I did not go to college to pick up people's dirty laundry, restaurants disgusting rags and starbuck's moldy milk towels..." Truly, as a "manager" you do those things. Ask questions about exactly what your job duties will be, I think you will be surprised. Every single interviewer asks about safety so be prepared to have a safety answer. EX: What does safety mean to you and how do you follow it in your current position? Tell me a time when a coworker was being unsafe and how did you react?
- Tell me about a time when you did not meet a deadline? Tell me a time when you had to work with a negative coworker. Answer Question

After running through standard questions like "what's your greatest achievement?" and her writing things down, I tried to steer to a more conversational interview, asking about their opinions on the company. Once I did this I felt I couldn't get a word in edgewise and they just talked until no one could remember the original question.Interview Questions

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This has got to be one of the worst middle schools that I've ever seen. I don't have enough space, or time to tell you just how BAD!!!! this school really is. Lord please BLESS this school.
I attended Drew for 2 1/2 yrs, I cant really say it was good or bad, it was pretty much what one makes it, I do know I made alot of great friends there and i would actually love to know if I would be able to find some of them through you guys, i would really appreciate it, i attended Drew I believe in 1990.
I was a teacher at Charles Drew Middle school for eight years and during that time I saw many good things going on. Like all institutions you will fnd both good bad.. Some of the views expressed by some fail to take into consideration the variable involve in evaluation education,for example some of the best teacher that I worked with in my 23 years of teaching was found at Drew,especially in the sixth grade,but school teachers are not the only ones that make a school good or bad.(my name is Mr Scrutchions)
I attened Drew 1991. Drew was a school that no one wanted to go to. There were kids in gangs and lots of other kids in gangs who'd come to our school to retaliate. Kids were afraid of other kids who were bullies, kids who looked for any reason to hurt another take ones personal iteams like shoes, jackets, food,money, jewlery etc. Kids didn't learn very much. Teachers were even afraid of the students. Students knew that and abused the system. At some point, even the security was afraid of controlling the students, so they'd pretend not to see what was happening. I really believe that a school will succeed if it has a strong principal who is determined to beat all odds. The principal also needs a strong group of administrators who will support he/her decisions. This will make teachers feel safe and thus care more about their profession.
I attend Charles Drew MS and I feel that it is a very bad school. i'M Not Saying it's Because of The Students I think its because of the teachers. They really don't care about the students, they just wanted the money. But if there was one teacher who really cared, And that teacher is Mrs. Xavier. I used to have her for 6th period science. Even though kids didn't listen, she would try to teach and she will always give us extra help like a teacher should.
Drew is the best school ever I love this school so much I graduate from that school it help me alot
I was an alumni at drew m.S i actually feel i am who i am because of this school i did feel i could have learned more because i feel i learned nothin and school was harder because of that but in the end my personality i owe to that school
I used to go to Drew and I feel that it is a very bad school. But not because of the students, because of the teachers. They don't care about the kids, they just wanted the money. But if there was one teacher who cared, it was Mrs. Xavier. I used to have her for 1st per. science. Even though kids didn't listen, she would always give us extra help like a teacher should.- Jaevaunghie
As an alumni of drew middle i have to say that drew is not the best school in the world. I had my ups and downs there but it wasn't all bad. I loved almost all of my teachers and the students were a handfull but they ment no harm. I learned much and graduated from there with salutitorial rankings with a gpa of 3.0 On a 4.0 Scale. I didn't think that i learned a lot or enough when i was there but now that im in high school i realize that i did. Drew is a good school and i do reccomend it
This school has it's challenges. Instruction is weak. Teacher turn over is high. Parent participation is low and discipline is out of control. However, the children are beautiful, reselient, and very kind hearted. They are some of the nicest kids you will ever want to meet. They will touch your soul and will inspire you. Anybody with a heart can not resist helping those kids!
with all due respect, it is a horrible school. I graduated from there. the teachers are amazing but some of the students are unbearable.
As much as I hate to say it, this is not a good school. The children are disrespectful, but I do not blame the teachers and staff for that one. Parents need to learn how to control their children. However, the school does not enforce discipline as much as they should.
with all due respect: though i only attended charles drew middle school for one summer school or as they call it instersession i would not recomend it . the campus is also not clean i think it is a terrible waste of a facicilty an the abilities of some of the teachers there. i think that the school would be doing a lot better if it were not for the year round system student take breaks that are a waste of time ocnsidering the test scores [[submitted with all due respect forma student that went to middle school as far away as she could get from the intercity schooling system and has returned to the intercity to attend king drew magnet high schools].]
School needs are more discipline toward students overall. Teachers need to take intrust in the children's state of mined recognize each individual and work more toward their academic intrust. The teachers need to make teaching fun for the students. I fill very strongly toward fun teaching. Teachers please take the time it will pay of. But remember keep a strong state of mind. Do not fall back. Believe in them. Challenge their minds and make them think. A very concerned parent.
This School is not very nice. Teachers are good though. Needs alot of improvement. Unrespectful students. Don't recommend this school.
Educators mostly are willing to instruct. Terrible on safety and quality of textbooks and nutritional food program.
I feel that this was a good school for me. I really learned a lot in this school. Not only were the teachers good at the teachings, but I felt that I had a bond with them when it came to learning. Many teachers in this school teached me a lot of stuff that they knew I was going to need in life. Especially Mr. Pierre, he taught me good work habits, and much more.
Very little parent involvement, no quality academic programs nor extracurricular opportunities. There are a few dedicated, quality teachers, but they face an uphill battle. The facilities are as needy as the student population. Caring parents should do what they possibly can to ensure that their children find an education elsewhere. Not a good school.

According to Cinematallica on Jan. 21, it appears that the delay of "Batman vs. Superman" has instigated the possibility of Ben Affleck rethinking his future as the Batman in the Zack Snyder film. The film has been pushed back further to 2016 and issues involving script writer David S. Goyer has given the actor/filmmaker some concerns of a move to reschedule the project and thus placing it far beyond where Affleck feels where it needs to be.
The push to move "Batman vs. Superman" even further may even conflict with Affleck's plans to shoot his "Live By Night" project this fall. This could further reinforce his decision that may not be in favor of Warner Brothers. Goyer, who is also set to write for the "Justice League" film as well as other studio notes getting caught up in the mix. That being said, it comes to no surprise that Affleck would ask that Warner Brothers get their act together or find another Batman.
This could mean that if Affleck, who is also a director and has experience with film making himself, decides to walk out as the Caped Crusader, this may not paint a good image of Warner Brother's decision to reschedule the "Man of Steel" sequel.
Interestingly enough, Warner Brothers may be a good sport enough to let Affleck gracefully "bow out" if need be so as to not deal damage to current non-DC projects. At this point, the ball is in his court to move on or to stick around.
If Affleck does decide to stick with the project, then everyone can go see "Batman vs. Superman" on the rescheduled release date of May 6, 2016.

Though I see your point, the simple fact is there is less required of you for the majority of the fights/trash in Cata Heroics. Nearly all the pulls in BC required heavy CC, cool downs, interrupts, etc... as a healer, you would likely have to drink after every trash pull. It would take that much mana to sustain your group, and back then, you could cast lower ranked spells to conserve mana. It wasn't unheard of for a hunter to chain trap or kite a mob around when things got crazy. You couldn't just AOE the whole group. Now days there are a few gimmic trash pulls, but for the most part, you just aoe or single them down if there's only a couple...you don't HAVE to interrupt, CC, or anything of the sort.
Not every single pull was like this, and if you were one of the few people who raided heavily and had good gear, I'm sure things weren't this challenging. But it took a lot more time to get gear, and unless you raided or had hours to spend grinding mats for a crafted piece of gear, you were in blues and greens. After some time, I had a group of friends that I ran dungeons with on a regular basis, and though we had developed a rhythm, things could still go wrong and we would wipe.
Every single one of the things you said (healer running out of mana after every pull, using 2 or even 3 CCs if available, interrupting key abilities, hunters chaining frost trap (or freeze, never played a hunter, so i don't know the exact name)... i've seen them as required at the start of cata in heroics. Not as nice to have, but required. I've seen many LFD just break after the first pull because there was no CCer.
What's the difference with now? that by then we only had 333 gear, except for a few rep pieces, and some 346 gear from JPs. Now we are decked out in 378 gear, which is, in terms of raw stats, logaritmically as far from 333 as 333 was from wrath regular gear.

Floyd Mayweather's famous dad is in his son's corner -- telling TMZ, there was nothing underhanded about Floyd's sucker punch victory on Saturday ... adding, "The fight was 100% fair."
Floyd Mayweather Sr. tells us, "First of all, Ortiz headbutted Floyd and that was obviously intentional. If you re-watch the fight, you can see that right after they apologize to one another, the ref OK's them to fight."
"Floyd did the right thing -- the number one thing they will tell you in fighting is to ALWAYS protect yourself ... The way Floyd ended the fight was 100% fair."
Tell that to angry mobs everywhere.
Your son is a punk. He needs to man up and fight Manny.
Not sure if it was legit or not, but you NEVER disrespect your elders, PUNK!
let the racist comments begin in 3...2...1...GO!!!
where is all of the racist coments? i'll come back later...
Bubba you are a punk. Pac Man needs to take a drug test if he has nothing to hide why would he decline a drug test, not only that i bet if Floyd had head butted Ortiz twice then got knocked out all you ppl would be talking about how Floyd is a cheater with that said middle finger to all you hating ass Larry Merchant types. Just like they used to hate on Ali now they hate on Floyd well its a new day. Like 50 said If they hate them let them hate bu*****ch the money pile up.
Larry Merchant's face when Floyd called out his old racist ass priceless. bwhahahaha cry me a river old fart needs to sit down somewhere
We should respect our elders! Noted! Elders should show respect for us! Duly Noted! I will not be disrespected by anyone, regardless of race or age.
OAN, people who cannot comprehend the premise behind "protect yourself at all times in battle" should be banned from watching any future boxing and/or mma matches.
a bit racist, whiteout? mayweather is a bitch, and you're HIS bitch, so, try to fit a bit more floyd down your throat.
So I guess anyone who is critical of Floyd is a racist? lol
Ortiz had a point deducted for the head butt. That should have been the end of it. There's nothing in the rule book that says you get to sucker punch you the offender if you get head butted. At the very least it was poor sportsmanship, not that anyone cares about that any more.
^^^You mad bro?
C'mon TMZ, I can tell this isn't the true quote from Mayweather Sr. because it is missing all of his expletives! It was more like this:
"First of all Mother F'er, Mother F'in Ortiz F'in headbutted Mother F'er Floyd and that was obviously F'in intentional. If you re-watch the fight you dumb a**, you can see that right after they Mother F'ers apologize to one another, the F'in ref OK's them to fight. TMZ, you don't know shi* about boxing, you don't know shi*, and you ain't shi* Mother F'ers!!!!!
there was no way in h@ll that was a fair fight. Mayweather is so full of himself it makes me sick and he wont rematch cause he knows he'll get his ass kicked by ortiz. Honestly he knew if he kept it going he'd get knockout..
Mayweather is a King. As far as Mayweather was concerned the fight was back on. In slow motion everything looks bad. When you are in the ring in real time it's a completely different story. That was the best option for Ortiz. Mayweather was going to win anyway. It might have been fixed but it was 100% fair. The fact is he's the best boxer in the world.
See what The KING has to say about it : http://www.kingsays.com/2011/09/18/mayweather-knocks-out-ortiz/
They quoted his own dad? What did they expect him to say?
Is his dad really going to say "My son was wrong, he' shouldn't have".
Chip off the old block. Now we know where he gets it from.

Out of Stock
Item # PLZ0805
This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Winter Bike Gloves in stock than that.
Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves $0.00
Way cooler than frostbite.
ThePearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves will work to keep your hands warm on all but the most frigid weather days. You can count on the effectiveness of these gloves from that first frosty morning in September until the final snow storm in April.
Pearl Izumi's Elite Softshell upper provides amazing wind and water protection without stifling your hands. The thumbs are covered in a soft windproof fleece wiping surface so that you can keep your nose dry but won't have the thumbs feeling colder and wetter than they should as a result of the snotty moisture. The fingers are anatomically cut which makes these gloves feel more like a second skin. The Clarino Synthetic leather which covers the palm is soft and extremely durable. Don't worry about wiping the girt from your tires with these gloves; they'll easily handle the friction. Perhaps their most impressive aspect is the Comfort Bridge Gel padding which has been included in the palms to relieve pressure on Ulnar and Median nerves for unsurpassed riding comfort.
To further the gloves utilitarian value, the finger tips come with screened-on silicon covering so that you will have even better grip with the gloves on than you do with bare fingers. The ubiquitous reflective elements have not been forgotten on this pair of gloves and an unobtrusive Velcro closure has been inserted at the wrist so that you can keep them as loose or as tight as you like. The Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves come in Black and in sizes Small through XX-Large.
- Elite softshell material on the hands keeps wind and water at bay
- Windproof fleece wiping surface on the thumbs keeps your nose clean
- Gauntlets cover that little strip of skin below your jersey that gets unbelievably cold
- Silicone screening on fingertips for dexterity in all conditions

Nice but quality issue
Member since
Ordered the gloves and fit was nice. Gloves kept my hand warm on their first use in 40 degree temps, but then I noticed a breeze on one of my fingers. The thread on the tip of one finger unravelled exposing the tip of my finger. I had plenty of room so I know it wasnt pressure from my finger that caused it just poor sewing. Item returned. If I didn't have an issue would have rated these 4 stars
"Warm" is hard to quantify
Cru Jones
Member since
One review says 19 degrees was perfect for these gloves, others say they are only for 60 degree weather. It all depends on your perception of cold. I dont even wear gloves in 60 degree weather so I am not that guy, I never got down to 19 but the 35-45 seemed to be just fine but I guess I have more cold tolerance than the average reviewer here.
Ted Fundoukos
Member since
I have yet to wear them but for sizing, my hand measures 8 7/8 around and they are very snug. If you do not like your gloves snug then size up accordingly.
They didn't please me...
Carlos Rodriguez
Member since
Not warm. I wear these gloves when it's too cool for finger-less. There's no way I'd wear these at all if the day was going to be colder than 60 degrees! There is simply the outer shell and that's it. No lining. In fact all you feel is the stitching on the fronts of your fingertips trying to nestle between your fingernail and finger. They definitely not windproof or waterproof by any means. Not that they claim to be, but what I'm getting at is that they not even resistant. Stitching is also starting to come undone on the wrist part of one of the gloves. I would not buy again. Bought an extra large because I have long fingers not fat hands. There was a lot of width room, great if I did have fat hands, but the XL did not accommodate long digits. So I don't have enough room for the length of my fingers but I've got some bunching in the palm from the extra material that's not getting filled out.
Warm but not dry
Member since
I have used these all winter in Oregon. That means rain and lots of it. If its just sprinkling and above 40 F, these are the ticket. Below about 40 and full on downpour - it takes something else.
Yesterday I put a pair of thin wool liners on under them and was relatively warm, but soaking wet. I did say relatively warm right? Great for fall and spring cool morning rides.
Good for cold, not freezing weather
Rob Jorgenson
Member since
I wore these through the bitter cold, early morning winter rides of Southern California. OK It never gets that cold here but I definitely need a warm glove on cold mornings. These worked great for me down to 40 degrees or so. The wind cuts in somewhat but it has never been a problem after I warm up a little. Any warmer and it would get uncomfortable. My hands are usually damp from sweat when I pull them off. I wouldn't want to go any warmer where I live. Probably not enough in northern climates. As far as fit, these are a little tight across the hand but normal in the length. The gloves are well made and I would buy them again. They have held up much better than the generic brand I bought before.
Good for 40ºF+
Lindley Pryor
Member since
Have the yellow & they are really bright. Nice reflective accents throughout, including the thumb-tip which gives a little front-end reflection when riding on the hoods. I use these in temps 60ºF and below, paired up with BarMitts in the sub-40ºF range. Excellent dexterity, not bulky-feeling, but definitely NOT winter riding gloves (by themselves). No real insulation to speak of...they simply block the wind & repel rain / road spray, and do so effectively. That's 90% of your battle with cold-fingers anyway. Solid construction, good snot-wiping surface, and sufficient padding. One annoyance I cannot overlook is the cuff cinch design - - it's an elongated triangle of inflexible hard rubber, with hook & loop fasteners. It has so little surface area to make contact, and does absolutely nothing to tighten or seal the cuff. Makes me wonder if these were ever field-tested, and I can't figure out why PI changed this design from the earlier models which had wide hook & loop tabs at the cuff. Very irritating...I penalize PI one star for this, but I'd still recommend them for the visibility (yellow), function, durability and dexterity
Not good....
Member since
....these gloves did nothing to keep my fingers warm. It was like I was riding without any gloves; the temperature was 40 degrees.
How cold would these be good for? i live...
Member since
How cold would these be good for? i live in chicago where winter temps fall well below zero accompanied by wind. i have a pair of the 09 cyclones that have worn out but worked solidly, but these look a little thinner. should i expect the same level of performance from these?
Lindley Pryor
Member since
These are good down to about 40F. The only solution I've found for your sub-zero temps is to pair these Cyclone gloves with BarMitts. That does me well, riding in the same temperature range, though at that point, it's the rest of you that you have to worry about. These are the same weight as your 09 Cyclones...I had the same model myself
Rockin' glove!
Member since
thanks everyone for the reviews...
no regrets here, this is a great glove.
i am having a hard time taking them off they are so comfortable!
good stretch, texture, grip, soft snot zone- all good!
i recommend these!
runs small
Member since
Just pulled them out of the bag. Have other PI gloves that fit well, these run small. Fairly light/midweight material. Not as heavy as my old Specialized, but not full winter weight like my bulky hits. Good reflective material which is important for dark fall/winter rides. Going to try one size up. 3 stars because too early to tell.
Nice Glove
Dan Urroz
Member since
The gloves are great for wind and sometimes I wear them in hotter weather when it is a little overcast and all I have are shorts and a short sleeve jersey. They can make a difference just keeping the hands warm the first hour.
Warmer than meets the eye
Damon Salter
Member since
Used these gloves for a race in 19 degree temperatures this weekend and my hands stayed the perfect temperature; wish I could of said the same for my feet.
The long cuff is ideal to keep you warm; I was able to tuck my warm warmer under the cuff.
The fleece wipe is over sized and perfect for winter 'aka snotty' rides.
The wind didn't permeate the glove without bulky insulation making my hands nice and warm without sweating.

There is one reason, and one reason only, why we've decided to include Vancouver on this list of the sartorially damned: yoga pants. We blame you, Vancouver, birthplace of a certain, insanely popular yoga gear brand which will go unnamed, for spawning a street trend dreaded by all women with wobbly bits and fat deposits in the wrong places. Really, what gives with the whole wearing of bum hugging workout gear to every other place except the gym? On behalf of women with hips and thighs everywhere, who like their pants to have buttons and zippers thank you very much, and who are of the opinion that yoga pants are a ruse worn by lazy pseudo-fashionistas, we beseech you: unless you plan to do a downward dog within the hour, spare us the yoga pants and put on some real trousers.
