"Great gloves with stiff finger support. Unique system protects that back of your hand by anchoring at the wrist - when the ball hits your fingers the finger protectors transfer the force to the wrist - not the back of the hand. This is supposed to save injuries.
Gloves get great grip on the ball - especially when it is wet outside. They encourage you to wet the glove for better grip and they did great in a game I played in the rain.
I got a size 10 which fit me in non-supported gloves but I think I would have moved up to an 11 in this glove - it feels a little more snug.
Over all construction is top notch.
Note: one of the pairs that I bought begin to split at the seam the first time I used them. Epic was great and sent out a new pair right away. Great customer service!!" (E19104)

Suzanne Sunday lives in historic Churchtown. It's in Monroe Township just outside Mechanicsburg.
Her house was built in 1848. It's the red brick with the red Phillies flag flying out front.
There's no doubt who Sunday worships every day.
"I love the Phillies," Suzanne says with enthusiasm. "I have since I was in about fifth grade."
She's eager to tell you her favorite Phillie of all time.
"Johnnie Callison, right field."
Suzanne now wears a Shane Victorino jersey on top of a Phillies T-shirt, but she feels left out. She can't get the Phillies on her television.
"It irritates me. I'm a Phillies fan. I live in Pennsylvania," she said.
But according to her provider, Comcast Carlisle, Suzanne lives in the Baltimore-Washington area. Geographically, she is closer to Baltimore than Philly so she can watch all the Orioles and Nationals she wants.
But she doesn't want Baltimore and Washington baseball.
"Excuse me. I live in Pennsylvania. Shouldn't I be able to watch the Pennsylvania team that's closest to me? If I lived two miles further east, I could watch all the Phillies games I wanted to watch because I'd be on a different Comcast system," she said.
Comcast is aware of the complaints by many Midstaters and spokesman Bob Grove issued a statement.
"CSN Philadelphia is available to the vast majority of our customers in mid-state. Our Carlisle lineup historically has received Baltimore/Washington-based sports programming. Based on that and other business considerations, the Carlisle lineup receives CSN Mid-Atlantic," Grove said.
Suzanne understands and decided to purchase the MLB Network package. She thought she'd pay extra and get her favorite team, but Major League baseball considers Churchtown to be in Phillies territory and blacks out Phillies games even to customers who pay more.
Suzanne, retired after 37 years as a teacher at Monroe Elementary School, has watched enough Phillies baseball to know an error when she sees one. She began a letter-writing campaign and targeted Phillies President David Montgomery and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts.
Her tone was professional but fair, writing to Roberts "for some unknown and idiotic reason Comcast Carlisle refuses to air CSN Philadelphia."
Suzanne senses that she's not just phighting for herself.
"I'm not the only Phillies fan in this situation and I'm not the only person who enjoys watching baseball," she said. "I should be able to watch the Phillies. It's not an earth shattering dilemma, but it's irritating to me."
A Phillies spokeswoman says the Phillies are not involved in the dispute, that it's an issue between Comcast and MLB.
Grove, the Comcast spokesman, was asked if it's impossible to put both Mid-Atlantic and Philadelphia sports programming on Comcast Carlisle?
"No," he said. "That's a decision that we make."
Comcast would not provide a detailed map with its geographic boundaries, nor would it say exactly how many Midstaters are lumped into the Baltimore/Washington region.
Cynics would tell Suzanne that not seeing the last-place Phillies this year might be a blessing, but she wonders why, with so many channels and so many options, she can't get the one thing she wants when she's willing to pay more?
"This is the information age," she said. "Information is available everywhere to everyone. So what's the problem? Who's the problem?"

The dates coincide perfectly with his new album:
The dates coincide perfectly with his new album:
read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes...
But I.... I get all confused when you mix up the dates.
That picture raises many, many questions beyond it's central fail.
i am more than okay with this! definitely one of the most memorable acts i saw all weekend in '07.
Coachella Attendee '05-'10
If you don't he'll be there, then I guess you could say the writing is on the wall. His facebook wall that is!
this has to happen. period.
i'd be so incredibly happy if this happend
unless he was playing opposite pavement
oh man that'd be a terrible conflict
I just saw some videos of the guy on youtube and i have no idea how this is Sahara material, much less Sahara headliner material.
I find it very hard to imagine anybody, anywhere, ever writing a song better than All My Friends.
It's a lock.
I figured it a few months ago, but yeah, now the writing is on the wall.
They're both wrong though, so it balances out.
I applaud your standing on LCD btw Gemma. Weirdly enough...its all I've been listening to lately...it terrible when you're at work and you break out into a mad version of Watch The Tapes.
"It's in the K" - Martha Stewart
Since the show list is very minimal...
August 29 // Chemical Brothers w/ Chromeo & Yacht @ Hollywood Bowl
September 26 // Vampire Weekend w/ Beach House & the Very Best @ Hollywood Bowl
October 5 // ARCADE FIRE @ Henry Miller Library
October 13 // Corin Tucker Band @ The El Rey
(someone should give me Sufjan Stevens tickets, aint got none of those)
Since the word about the next album, but for a brief Land of Talk interval, I've listened to nothing but Sound of Silver over and over.
We had an awesome real life work-montage moment in the shop earlier on to Tribulations. I'd have appreciated it much more if I wasn't working at the time, but it was cool all the same.
I think Amy would hate his voice though.

Okey doke herp friends
I could really use your help on this
This is a thing my leo has had for a few years on and off. I've talked about it on here before. I took her to a vet for the first year it appeared, but back then it was much less severe. It used to appear like a white filmy scar on her head. The vet had me try three different topical fungal treatments but nothing did the job. Eventually I ran out of money to continue the treatment games with the vet and continued to watch her for signs that it was paining her. It came and went with each shed, but it never seemed to bother her, until it went away altogether about a year ago.
When I returned home from school this year, this is what it had turned into. it's scabby and went gently prodded (with a soft q-tip) appears to hurt her.
I have no fucking idea what it is. here's some basic info on her and her environment to help anyone with sleuthing out what the hell this could be:
- tong-fed crickets every day- I make sure none of them go uneaten to make sure they aren't going to bite her
- eats well
- very active
- ceramic lamp heating from above, but nothing so close to the lamp as to burn her
- paper towel substrate, changed frequently
- no sharp objects in terrarium
- no shedding problems
- she gets warm water bathes every so often to help with shedding
ask me for any additional information, pictures, whatever. I'm all about solving this issue because this is my baby and she's obviously in pain.
Hit me up.

A brand new gadget is about to be launched in the UK by PayPal, the eBay-owned payment processing company. This new device will allow small businesses along with traders to take payments from local people using their own smartphone. This is something that the company launched last year already in the US and is called PayPal Here. It is a small pocket-sized attachment which can be plugged to your phone and takes payments with a PIN code.
This new solution is intended to provide more means to local businesses other than the cash-in-hand process, instead leading to a cash-in-handset model for British entrepreneurs and small businesses. Any shop, restaurant, market, taxi or even independent freelancer can now accept secure payments with the use of a PayPal account or via credit or even debit card, instead of having cash on you.
PayPal Here will be available in England later this summer, but some critics already warned that the system must be well priced if it wants to gain market share with small businesses. PayPal is handling over $145 billion in total payments during the year of 2012, with more than 123 million active users, including 18 million living across the UK.
Mobile payments are not new for the company which has been experimenting with them for at least a few years, having a smartphone app already for both iPhone and Android. It also launched special apps in cooperation with fashion retailers last year.
According to the company, PayPal believes that this new system will be a game changer for many small businesses as it will enable them to take credit or debit cards without having to buy into a full chip and PIN system from a bank, which typically costs a lot of money. This new service is aimed specifically at those who usually deal with cash or cheques. Using this gadget will require a small fee per transaction.

Is it time to revamp Canada's retirement age?
As baby boomers approach retirement, the cost to government of providing public pensions is set to skyrocket. And that means changes are afoot.
Improved healthcare and falling birth rates mean the average age of people in developed countries is rising. By 2050, some societies face the expensive prospect of having as many retirees as active workers, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
And paying pensions to all those folks, particularly here in Canada, will be no mean feat.
Over the next 20 years, the number of Canadians over 65 will climb to more than nine million from roughly half that right now.
More importantly, the cost of delivering Old Age Security benefits to that group is expected to almost triple to $108 billion from roughly $37 billion right now.
Unlike the Canada Pension Plan, which has a significant pool of money backing it, the OAS program is paid out of government revenues which are coming under pressure on several fronts.
So, it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise when Prime Minister Stephen Harper told world leaders at a recent economic forum that this country's aging population poses "a threat to the social programs and services that Canadians cherish" and that he was the man to fix things.
Rhetoric or not, there is a real problem at hand.
At the moment, there are roughly four workers for every person over 65 in Canada. That mix, known as the dependency ratio, is expected to drop to less than three-to-one over the next 20 years.
And that would mean fewer people working and paying taxes to support social programs, particularly public pensions.
* Tell us: Is raising the retirement age a good idea?
The bigger issue is what the government is going to do about this shortfall — and when.
There are a few options available, some of which are easier to implement than others. On the assumption that current recipients wouldn't be affected, the government could, for instance, choose to:
- Increase the age of eligibility for OAS to 67 from 65
- Reduce or cap the indexing that protects OAS payments from inflation
- Boost the number of years you have to live in Canada to qualify
- Adjust the income threshold (currently about $68,000) at which OAS payments are clawed back

The return of classic auto brand Morgan is coming with the rebirth of some of its classic vehicles. We've already touched on reincarnated versions for some of their old model line-up, including the highly-anticipated Three-Wheeler .
Fast forward to today and we just got word that another old-school Morgan will be making a comeback at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, after a brief hiatus in the retirement block. Discontinued in 2004 after being born in 1968, the Plus 8 has an enduring appeal that very few cars can boast of, further emphasizing the car's stature as one of Morgan's all-time classics.
Details behind the reincarnated Plus 8 are still being kept under wraps, but a few details about the car have already leaked out, including the addition of modern components to go with the retro-futuristic styling and a choice of eight exterior finishes as well as an interior that will carry a multitude of wood-finished options. But the most important piece of news surrounding the new Plus 8 is the expected price tag its going to carry. In this case, the facelifted Plus 8 will cost £71,000, which is around $112,000 based on current exchange rates.
It's not exactly the most affordable option out on the market, but if the new Plus 8 is being touted as a modern-day version of the classic machine, then the price may very well be justified.

As a fan of the 2005 short film, also by Shane Acker, I was eager to see the translation of the 10 minute short to the big screen. While the 88 minute version did not disappoint, it did nothing to stand out above the shorter film either. Indeed, the movie "does not rush toward answers." Instead, it feels like a 2 hour film. Most of the time, some combination of the nine numbered stitch punks are on the run from one of three mechanical monstrosities. The breaks from action are brief and are used for narrative purposes, but it is ultimately the non-stop action that causes the film to seem longer than it actually is, akin to the summer's "Transformers 2."
Any post-apocalyptic, Science-Fiction loving fan will already be familiar with much of what this movie has to offer. Included is the fall of mankind, the dominance of machines, and finally the destruction of the environment. A group of survivors, the nine numbered stitch punks, desperately fight against the evil machines and try to right the wrongs of humanity. The ending is typically liberating and the somber mood of the film actually made me eager to learn the fates of each of the nine stitch punks. However, instead of setting itself apart from other films and video games of the genre, "9" merely sticks to what has worked and goes little further. At least the environment stands out as a "brilliantly realized landscape," as Scott said.
Despite the overuse of Sci-Fi conventions, "9" is still an interesting film, riddled with deeper meanings. Fans of the videogame "Bioshock" can appreciate the splendid setting and realize how much story the environment can provide. The character interaction is also superb, giving important insights into what motives drive each stitch punk. For example, once stitch punk number 2 (Martin Landau) is taken by the Cat Beast, 9 convinces 5, to rebel against 1 (Christopher Plummer) and travel into danger in pursuit of his friend. That dialogue alone reveals the natures of 4 major characters, and that is but one example of the fantastic scenario writing. Overall, "9" has its share of ups and downs and invites audiences a visual feast. If you can get past the worn-out story, the setting and frantic action certainly set "9" apart from most other animated films.

9 is full of its own special effects and methodology. The viewer finds it impossible to suspend belief as the film makers scream, "Look how clever are we." At the end it becomes a mishmash of confused symbolism.

Think Terminator with sock puppets. Visually, it was magnificent, but the story line and dialogue were sophomoric by comparison.

Pitch perfect up until it got all spiritually at the end. Loved the visuals, loved the pathos, loved everything except how loud the battle scenes were. But I guess that's part of what makes it feel like the roller coaster ride it is. 4 out of 5 stars.

With a script as thin as soup, minimal character development, and a back story full of holes, 9 is a waste of time.
Since I am a sci-fi buff who loves post-apocalyptic stories, my opinion is not based on content, but rather on quality.
By the time the spiritually suffocating and nonsensical final scene came around, I felt embarrassed for the film makers, and my boyfriend was saying "This is so bad." When you see a film end the way 9 does, you can't help but laugh, or groan, or wish you could get your money back.

The robots and the Totalitarianism is great! I like the special effects and explosions. Children of all ages will really dig it! They look like robotic ants! I wish more children's movies were as cute as that! That concept of making a movie for youth designed to influence for action packed adventure is terrific! My son will probably go see it with his dad!

Our family (my husband and I, 13 yr. old daughter, 10 yr. old son) just saw it and we all loved it. My daughter is old enough and intellectually sophisticated enough to find it somewhat scary; my son did not find it frightening. We discussed what the ending meant (I LIKED the ending). It looked very old-fashioned --- a nice change.

I suggest you sit up front at the theater in order to immerse yourself into a hauntingly beautiful, darkly textured world of good & evil. Though I would argue with earlier posters who claim the story is derivative and boring (I think several philosophical inquiries are treated with depth & nuance), I did dislike the magic spirit act at the end. In spite of that weakness, however, I heartily encourage any lovers of visual, cerebral cortex stimulation to go enjoy the ride.

While very beautiful and not afraid to pull some punches (showing dead bodies, and VERY scary monsters) the movie suffers significantly from lack of storytelling. But you should still go see it. It IS beautiful and it is important to understand how animation can tell grown-up stories. As a first attempt at a feature film it is good, and holds much promise for the writer/director as he matures.

If you were raised on movies like "The Neverending Story," "The Dark Crystal," "Labyrinth," and "Beetlejuice," as I was, and enjoyed that sort of gothic, macabre, yet ultimately positive aesthetic, you'll probably consider this one to add to the list.
If, however, like reviewer #7 (and I'm not being mean) you found Pixar's "Wall*E" to be depressing, or despised "Coraline," you should skip it. Fans of H. G. Wells or Jules Verne, or films like "City of Lost Children" will be in hog heaven.
While I would not take a kid under eight to see this, the story reinforces the goodness of the human soul (almost to the annoyance of those who wish it even darker), has a butt-kicking female warrior, and while it exposes older kids to the reality of death, it also gives them a way to process it.
Incidentally, it has a quality other movies might be wise to emulate- You truly cannot guess who will live and who will die.
Additionally, as a tip to those viewers who really enjoyed "9," may I suggest you rent the stop-motion animation short films of the Brothers Quay. I'm assuming this was an immense influence on Acker. (Their work was sort of ripped off by the music video for the band Tool's "Sober," if that means anything to you.)
Theatre geeks, burlesquers, Comicon fans, goths, steampunks, tempermental artists, you whose favorite holiday is Halloween, and you who once dreamed of running away to learn trapeze, enjoy!

I understand everything cannot be Disney sweetness and I see that the makers of this film are very interested in texture but why are children's filmmakers using the storyboards for "Rise of the Machines"? That depressing "Wall-ee" was bad enough. Do 7 year olds really need a dose of post apocalyptic dread?

I agree with #4: What was the point? Everything about the movie seemed like outtakes from other, better movies. It was so murky that it was barely possible to tell what was going on, and was boring to watch. Overall, there was just one, small problem: No Story. What plot there was (I won't say, since most haven't seen it) did not bear looking at too closely, since you'd have to wonder why you'd root for 9 at all.
I, too, saw it at a free preview, and it was too high a price.
Can we declare an official Moratorium: No More Post-Apocalyptic Movies. Esp. those that are just watered-down copies of the ones before them? It's a bleak landscape at best, with little possibility of something fresh and growing.

A thin script in which the characters who are woefully underdeveloped interact in stock scenes that will remind you of better movies (many of which aren't that good themselves) can't be saved by the film's visual magnificence. Even philosophically, the individual creatures don't seem to represent anything more than sci-fi archetypes (yes, the sensitive machine, but also the girl warrior, the sweet scientist, and scribbling madman who speaks nonsense that holds The Key to Everything) when the are supposed to signify something so much greater. Ultimately, even the standard moment of liberation at the end of the film (which incorporates at least three big cliches) amounts to nothing.
— Scott C. Sickles, New York, NY

I saw "9" at a free preview and, while technically impressive, I found it totally derivative and frankly boring. But, other than it's obvious rip-offs of better films (the Judy Garland schtick was a direct, inferior imitation of the "Hello Dolly" scene in Wall-E), both my companion and I were left with the exact same reaction - what was the point? It was a technically impressive but ultimately vapid film with no original thought in its head and absolutely nothing of any import to say!
— MEW, Ellicott City, MD

My 9 & 10 year old kids both enjoyed the movie. I think the characters especially 7 & 9 were well developed. The ending was not what I expected. Not a great film but a very good film.
— Brian J. Handel, Manteca, California

To boil '9' down into one word, i would use transfixing. The visuals were so incredibly beautiful despite a subject of intense sorrow. Because the screen told of such unimaginable terror, it freed the characters and story to pursue something more noble.
If you were to take the story out of its grim context it would fit into any child's book. But within its context it becomes something more, and something that I believes needs to be heard. Especially on a day like today, and within the context of the world we live in.

I saw '9' on 9-9-09, and this small film (short anyway) contains some big ideas. We can all relate '9' and its numbered humanoid characters to our lives, whatever our individual beliefs. Well-intentioned ideas may cause great harm, and (this one sounds better than it reads) sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of the many. The religious imagery I didn't expect, but it's visual only, and nothing that would upset anyone.
It's easy to criticize (from our theater seats) ostensible leader 1's idea of basically running and hiding from the powerful red-eyed machine that is trying to kill the humanoids. Young turk 9 (the character) is more the courageous fighter who wants to solve the problem once and for all. He does find the theoretical answer, the talisman, to the killing machine, but can 9 put his idea into practice without the loss of too many lives? The one-eyed man is not king in this valley, but one-eyed 5, despite initial trepidation, is very supportive of 9. The female, 7, is excellent, and I got a big kick out of tall, smiling 8, who looks like the Michelin man.
The ending is not what I would have expected but is excellent, leaving a message of hope. For all of us who are ever NYT reader reviewers, these reviews are ours now. They are what we make of them. Or as Judy Garland sings in the movie: 'Birds fly over the rainbow/Why then oh why can't I?'

Parent involvement
LAUSD is notorious for not being great schools, but I was very happy with this School. The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The Principle is very involved and a good man. I had a couple extremely good teachers that did a great job. As with all schools there are pros and cons, but this school had far more pros as public schools go.
really not very good at all. I did not like this school at all. It's not great.
Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter is a wonderful school. I am so happy to be able to give my children the gift of this experience. The teachers care about their students, and go above and beyond, to help those who are struggling. The curriculum is tough, but has raised my kids up, and my oldest is more than ready for high school. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but Hesby has certainly pleased me, and many others at this wonderful school.
Very clean campus as well as a professional and courteous staff. Very family-oriented. All 4 of my children attend and love it!!
Hesby Oaks has been A very positive experience . My daughter loves going to school. The school has A progressive challenging curriculum with amazing and utterly creative teachers.
Hesby is a Great School that truly a find! Every school has issues, but Hesby comes pretty close to being perfect, considering that this Charter School is only on its 7th year! It is a true community, where the Teachers are fantastic, and really care about the kids education. They take pride in sending off the Kids prepared for their next step....and they are. The Principle is a hoot, and I think often misunderstood. He is one of the most caring school leaders I have met in a long time. Hesby strives for excellence, and it has always had a waiting list for families to get in. It truly is a hidden gem.
Great school! My oldest graduated from Hesby 3 years ago, and was so well prepared for high school. I currently have 2 girls attending 7th grade and 4th grade. They excel in all subjects, district assessments are easy for them because they are so well prepared by truly caring and dedicated teachers! My kids have very good friends from school, and there is a sense of community. You feel welcome! I couldn't asked for more from a public school. Compared to the private school they atended before, I can say that they are better prepared to face the demands of higher grades because of the education they are receiving at Hesby. Thumbs up for the effort of principal, teachers, parents, and students!
Hesby Oaks is an amazing school. The level of parent and teacher involvement is tremendous. These kids are not just learning to be great students, they are learning to be good citizens. API scores raise more and more each year. 2012 score is 912...which is a great score and factors in elementary and middle school (K-8). If score was calculated just on elementary tests, it would be much, much higher. There also aren't many middle schools which come close to 900. Hesby Oaks is a gem!
We started this year in this district/school. It has being a lot of pressure with the fundraisers. Teachers are great, but being asked for money at the beginning of the year (and so on) its kind of exhausting. We are here because we can't afford private schools (we live in the neighborhood) , and I understand that better education costs money, but what if we don't have it? ... I wish I could have the money to help, because I consider myself a very supportive person. I also tried to help with services and that way to help the school, but I haven't received a call back from the group of parents that are in charge, I feel a little ashamed to call again.. Oh well.. Still feeling that we don't "fit" in that school... is October already and feeling like a first day of school. Going soon to volunteer on my daughter's group, that is something I love and enjoy a lot. I can say I have a good communication with the teachers. They are just GREAT!
I'm a parent of a 1st grader at Hesby and will be sending our second child next year. We've had wonderful experiences with our teachers thus far (very dedicated and experienced) and the after the school programs are a real unexpected suprise. The school has a small community feel and we like what we see in the direction it seems to be going with new programs and facilities (computer lab). Lot's of parent involvement, as well as the fundraisers, which unfortunately are necessary in public schools these days.
So I was planning on going on a tour of the school at 9 am this morning, but traffic was unusually insane, making me 15 minutes late. I found my way to the office as I could see the tour group not so far away and was still hoping to join in. In the office, there were a set of parents speaking with the principal and 2 of us waiting in line. I have no idea what I walked into, but the principal was yelling that "he raised $300,000 for the school" and if he "doesn't like a permit student, he kicks them out"! He was boisterous, indignant, and just plain rude and I turned around and walked right out. I didn't need to hear anymore. I don't think that was a conversation he should have been having so loudly with others waiting nearby, and really it does nothing to make people in that situation like myself feel comfortable. I am trying to find my son a school that he might be able to attend either via permit or open enrollment as our neighborhood school is not up to par and I don't think we should be made to feel like outsiders infiltrating the system. We pay our taxes like everyone else and my husband works just blocks away. Private school is seeming like a better option every minute.
We have been at this school since it opened. I have three kids who have all done great. My oldest just started HS and his classes are much he has been upped in several classes because of what he learned here. It is a great school where everyone knows everyone and we work together for the common good of the kids.
My daughter is a fifth grader at Hesby having attended a private school from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. My daughter adores Hesby and far prefers it to the private school she attended. The education is superb and challenging. Best of all, these past two years my daughter has been blessed to have had teachers who care and extend themselves over and above what is expected of a teacher, be it in public school or private school. These are dedicated and caring professionals. The small school environment is the icing on the cake. No one is anonymous. The principal pays attention to the kids that stay after hours in the school yard. He even knows their names. It is the fortunate student that attends Hesby.
The parents volunteer work, the endless fundraisers, dedication to school and students and desire to pursue every means possible for scholarships
Small School that misses alot of things that other schools have.Some of the teacher actualy scream to the kids.The new Principal is week at his job.There is much better schools in the area.Parents do your resurches.Parents are very involve Yes is true,but I am not shure I like my kids education to come from parents who are not profecionals!!!!!!!
As a student at Hesby Oaks since the year it opened, I have been pleased with the small campus, nice teachers, and quality education. I am in 8th grade and feel very prepared to go to high school. Hesby has a wonderful community and you can always get 1 on 1 time with teachers. As president of student council, I know a lot about extra curricular activities, and school events, and they are great. Hesby offers honors classes with challenging academic programs, great teachers who care about your work, and a strong main office, and amazing involved parents.
always something educational and exciting going on!
Hesby Oaks is in dire need of a new 7-8th grade math teacher!!!1 A majority of kids need tutors and still the test scores are dismal. Many parents have taken their children out of the school because of the poor math teacher. Hopefully the new principal will address this issue. We need Hope and Change. If not, expect to see a mass exodus. Hesby is otherwise a great school.! BELOW THE STATE AVERAGE Algebra I 43% (2010) 37% (2009) The state average for Algebra I was 46% in 2010.
Hesby Oaks is an amazing school! The teachers are exceptional and love to be at school with the children. Their passion shows not only in the teaching, lessons, and projects, but also with their participation in school sponsored events outside of school hours. I can not imagine a better middle school. When children are going through so many physical and emotional changes, Hesby teachers make the time to relate to each and every student individually. The faculty and staff know the students names and keep them accountable for their learning and behavior. The parent organization helps keep parents of all the students involved in their child's education. The activities they plan benefit everyone from the middle schoolers taking on a leadership role and mentorships to the elementary students having fun, learning, and looking up to these older students. Hesby Oaks is definitely a family!
Fantastic Teachers, good management, and the students really learn and are taught well.

choosing a language for a new laptop English and Japanese
I just bought a new laptop (ASUS K53E). I'm currently in Japan and bought laptop here. I'm stuck at the set up page where I have to choose the region and languages. I would prefer English as main language, but I'm afraid I will have problems later with Japanese keyboard, I use both English and Japanese in daily life. There are two things, language and keyboard, that I can choose the language for. And the physical keyboard is Japanese (qwerty with additional buttons).
Also can I add more languages later on? If I plan to add one more language which keyboard is best for initial set up?
Would be grateful for any tips, its a first time I bought laptop outside of Europe.

Be sure to make your Recovery Disks and preserve the Recovery partition if you reinstall so that you can revert to the state you received the computer and hopefully make these Setup choices again if needed in the future.
Otherwise languages are only interchangeable when you have Ultimate which provides all of the language packs via optional Windows Updates.
However reinstall with another language is sometimes possible depending upon the region of your license even though the license is language-specific. The choices you have now should also be available by finding an installer for that language to clean reinstall, then activate with the Product Key on COA sticker. However you may have to try it to find out for sure, so be sure to preserve your factory Recovery options and and Windows 7 backup image of your install after setup.

I got a great idea…. Britain should leave the E.U and the commonwealth countries should leave what ever they are in… and we should built the commonwealth back up and make it into something the E.U should of been rather then a bunch of German and French bastards trying to take over Europe!
And the Commonwealth should all just stick together in peace and war

Mabel Nash-Greenberg
Gnosticism Independent Study with Dr. Bruce Matthews
According to Pagels, the Valentinian Expositions claim to deliver a "secret catechism for candidates being initiated into gnosis" that allows the individual to partake in sacramental rituals such as anointing, baptism and the eucharist as they are understood by the Gnostics. Because the Valentinian system is only known through the words its opponents, notably Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon, it is difficult to understand the cosmogony as a comprehensive system, though this writing may be considered my attempt to do so.
Let us first establish several definitions. Archons (Greek: "Ruler/lord") are several servants of the demiurge that stand between the human race and the transcendent God and make it difficult for man and God to become one, (though this is achievable through Gnosis.) A Valentinian Exposition introduces the concept of pleroma (Greek: "fullness"/ "heavenly all"). Pleroma is the totality of all that is regarded in our understanding of the Divine. It is the 'light above our world' consisting of Aeons—the first 30 beings who self-emanated from the pleroma in sexually complementary pairs which correspond to seven planetary spheres. Above these seven planetary spheres there exists an eighth sphere, in which dwells the mother of all archons, Sophia, who set into motion the creation of the material world.
The Apocryphon of John describes how Sophia prepared a place for the souls in heaven, where Jesus, the incarnation of the aeon Christ (note: there is an important distinction to make between Jesus and Christ, as the latter precedes the former?) disclose the true knowledge of how to return to their home in pleroma, where they would ascend past the rulers (archons) and be made holy and faultless.
What is this place in which the triple-powered male virginal Youth of Allogenes XI 45 "[becomes] perfect" and can thus "[know himself ….and the perfect] Invisible [Spirit]?" (444) What is this space in which there can exist no fault? How does it relate to and interact with the material world created by Sophia? How can the faulted material world exist and interact fluidly with pleroma? How does knowing oneself provide the key to transcending the material world so that one might "become as the [divine Triple Male—the power that is higher than God] is?"
Who is this "One who truly exists" the 'divinity of divinity' who contains and embodies paradox: the One who expresses that one 'undivided Energy' which is only the substance of his own beginning? We know that it is impossible for the individuals to comprehend the 'All' located in the "place that is higher than perfect" (445) How can there exist a power "higher than God"—and what would characterize such a being?
It would seem that no such power could exist, and in a sense, it does not. Interestingly, the language used to describe this One is indicative of his nature. The elusiveness of God's nature requires that he is spoken of in negative terminology, often as irrational and indirect as Zen koans.
God is revealed as the "Unknown One, invisible, unfathomable, incomprehensible," the "spiritual, invisible Triple Power" which is the "best of the best" and exists, paradoxically, as the "non-being Existence."
He provides everything for himself since it is he who shall come to be when he recognizes himself. And he is [One] who subsists as a [sort of being] and a source and an immaterial [material and an] innumerable [number and formless] form and a shapeless shape and ….an [inactive] activity….when he is recognized as the traverser of the boundlessness of the Invisible Spirit that subsists in him, the boundlessness turns to itself in order that it might know what is within him and how he exists. And he is becoming salvation for every one by being a point of departure for those who truly exist, for through him his knowledge endured, since he is the one who knows [what] he is. (445)
There follows a description of the elements which combine as the definitive traits of the divine Triple Male, that power which is higher than God: Vitality, Mentality and That Which Is. ("the three are one, although they are each three as individuals"(445)) What is this power which is higher than God, and from where did it arise? What significance do the elements of God's triplicity (vitality, mentality and That Which Is) have within the entirety of God's power? What purpose does the Divine Triple Male serve, if it is beyond God? Is this the knowledge that constitutes Gnosis?
What is the significance of those three elements which compose that power which is higher than God? What are Vitality, Mentality and Existence such that they are beyond any human contemplation before Gnosis, and may be realized though self-reflection and then transcendence?
'Youel said to me, '[O Allogenes], you shall know that the Triple Power exists before the glories. They do not exist. among those who exist. Rather all these exist as divinity and blessedness and existence…The Triple Male is something beyond substance….' (447)
We witness, through this revelation dialog, what I believe is Allogenes' realization and acceptance of the redemptive Gnosis, and then acceptance into the eternal pleroma. However, he is told clearly not to know the Triple Power, though it would seem that in Gnosis he should be able to: "Do not know him, for it is impossible, but if by means of an enlightened thought you should know him, become ignorant of him." This seems akin to the idea of Buddhist nirvana: one can not seek enlightenment if they are to find it: and the ultimate, unobtainable presence exists paradoxically in everything that it is not.

Linux Clients for Brazil's Schools
Brazil's municipal schools should be getting more than 350,000 power-saving thin clients for their students.
Canadian company Userful and Brazilian firm ThinNetworks have won a contract with the Brazilian government to supply 356,800 thin clients to schools in 5,560 municipalities. Userful will enable this access through its Multiplier virtualization hardware and software solution, turning a single computer into up to 10 independent student workstations.
A Userful press release explains the details. A first phase deployment of 19,000 desktops has already showed success. The full deployment over the next years is to be the world's largest.
The Userful Desktop and Multiplier products are based on Fedora, although the commercial software is not under any free license. A fully functioning demo version for two workstations is available for Live CD download.

Little Fighter Alpha
Created with Little Fighter game sprites, this series is like a hardcore in-game cinema.
Dead Rain
A horrible virus is unleashed, turning people into flesh eating zombies!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Jim!
This is the first file (Part A) of Throwback the Duck Episode 1 on NewGrounds.com.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the Throwback the Duck animated adventure series. The feedback for Episode 0 A 'Back Story was very strong and encouraging. We are deeply grateful for that.
Throwback the Duck Episode 1 picks up exactly where Episode 0 left off. As a newly hired journalist for NintendoNow, Throwback stumbles onto a dream job of classic gaming journalism. Expect an intimate look into the whimsical world that is the mind of Throwback the Duck. Despite his cheesy lines and disjointed interaction with those around him, Throwback's oddball charm has a way of dazzling many of the friends he encounters...except for a cynical little office helper.
Then there's the all important gaming factor. A familiar classic gaming face makes a cameo in this episode. I'm curious to know how many of you recognize or remember this character. His story foreshadows many of the themes explored in the cartoon series.
Production notes: Due to flash file size constraints, we were forced to split Episode 1 into two files. Hence we have Part A and B of Episode 1. Please watch the show in that order to fully enjoy it.
Also, you'll notice a subtle transition in art styles during the episode. Arthur uses a style know as "straight vs. curve" near the end. This is an evolving work, folks.
And with that said, please enjoy the show. Again, we look forward to your continued support of the series. Four more exciting episodes await you before Season 1 draws to an end.

Made this recipe for the past 6 years and it is a big hit. It is very easy to make. I have added more apples to the recipe but it makes more liquid so I cut down the OJ to balance out. My 9 year old likes cutting the leaves out and decorating the top. I would highly recommend.
Sweet Potato-Apple Cobbler
This fall-friendly recipe makes a scrumptious finale to a fine meal.
Yield: Makes 12 servings
- 4 medium-size sweet potatoes

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- Bourbon Whipped Cream (optional)

- Place apple slices in an even layer in a lightly greased 13- x- 9-inch baking dish; top with sweet potato slices.
- Stir together 1 1/2 cups orange juice and next 6 ingredients. Pour over sweet potato mixture. Dot with 6 tablespoons butter.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans on a cutting board. Unfold 1 piecrust, and place on pecans; gently roll piecrust dough into pecans. Cut with a leaf-shaped cookie cutter; place leaves over sweet potato mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans and piecrust.

A Berry-Good Smoothie
Quentin Bacon
- 1 cup berries (raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries)
- 1/4 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup water
- half of a banana
- 1 cup ice
- On-the-go smoothies are often loaded with sugar and so many calories--you might as well have a milkshake. But my version saves you about 140 calories, plus it's loaded with antioxidants. Just combine the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

Will EOG's New Strategy Pay off for Investors?
By Jordo Bivona - January 4, 2013 | Tickers: EOG, POU, KWK, TOU

Papa is shifting his company's focus away from natural gas and towards oil because the profit margins from producing North American crude oil are much larger than the margins from producing North American natural gas.

What We Learned About the Barnett Shale During Second Quarter of 2012 Earnings Season
By Eric Fox - August 22, 2012 | Tickers: CHK, DVN, EOG, KWK, WPX
The Barnett Shale was the first domestic resource play to be developed by the exploration and production industry using hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, and many operators have since moved on to other plays in the United States. Despite this inattention, I feel that a review of recent activity here is warranted and necessary to form a complete picture of conditions in the energy sector.
