Last night at the Consol Energy Center, the New York Rangers took a 1-0 deficit into the third period against the Pittsburgh Penguins and turned it into a gutsy 4-1 victory.
The Rangers were heavily outplayed by the Pittsburgh Penguins through the first forty minutes of last night's game, but its how they finished that made the difference. Pittsburgh suffocated the Rangers with a strong forecheck and forced Lundqvist to make saves. The Rangers stayed tight survived the first two periods and only allowed one goal late in the first period when Evgeni Malkin beat Lundqvist off a nice feed from Sidney Crosby who extended his point streak to 20 games.
In the third the Rangers struck twice in a fifteen minute span with goals from Erik Christensen and Alex Frolov. Pittsburgh had a goal disallowed, shortly after losing the lead, because of goalie interference. Artem Anisimov and Brian Boyle added insurance goals late in the third period as the Rangers captured their first regulation win in Pittsburgh since 2006.
The victory was bittersweet for the Rangers. Early in the first period Ryan Callahan blocked a shot from the point and took it off the hand. He was taken to the locker room for further evaluation and will be out for six weeks with a broken hand.
"That's a huge injury but we have to move by it," said Rangers coach Tortorella when asked about Callahan's injury.
The Rangers showed their toughness with their comeback win over the Penguins and will need their young players like Anisimov and Derek Stepan to play a bigger role during Callahan's absence.
The Rangers will put their modest two-game win streak on the line against the Phoenix Coyotes — who fell 3-0 to the New Jersey Devils last night — tonight at Madison Square Garden.

But the movies are full of sexy, seductive immortals, too. Sure, the bloodsuckers in Interview With a Vampire and those in all the variations of Bram Stoker's Dracula are well-known, but what about those who toil away in box office obscurity? Before the cool teen vampire flick Twilight comes out later this month, here are a few vampires you may not have met before.

Shipping News: US Post Office to stop shipping items with lithium batteries internationally
Starting May 16, 2012, if you are outside the United States and you are planning to buy digital cameras with lithium ion batteries from the USA, or if you are inside the US and planning to send digital cameras with lithium ion batteries outside the country, you can no longer do this using USPS (US Postal Service). This is because the USPS is banning the shipping of lithium ion batteries because they are considered a fire hazard. But there is hope for the future, quote the USPS statement: "anticipates that on January 1, 2013, customers will be able to mail specific quantities of lithium batteries internationally". A perfectly bureaucratic deadline, missing the whole of the 2012 holiday shopping season. Sir Humphrey would be most proud.
You can still ship digital cameras (and other items with lithium batteries) from and to the US using private firms like Federal Express, UPS, DHL, etc.

A Circle Of Support
When I picked up last night's take-out, the owner of the restaurant told me that he noticed me at our rally on Saturday. I suspect he was somewhat guarded in asking me 'what side are you on?' To which, I replied 'the good side – I support our troops.'
His response: 'That's good – I can't stand the other side!' (Emphasis was his.)
This is two such reactions from two separate local business owners to me personally since Saturday. They see what we are doing, and they are supportive of us being there.
These are the businesses that I love supporting, these are the people who love America, who know what hard work can achieve. I'll be working on gaining public support, and linking via this site, for those like-minded businesses. Similarly, I'm going to stop frequenting those businesses who have placed their alliances with the traitors on the other side.
Until then, we'll work on word-of-mouth for the places showing us support – while we show our troops support.

16 May 2013 § 3 Comments
We sold our house! It happened a little bit like this, except that we have closed and we are now leasing our house back from the buyer, our new landlord. Strange, but good.
Selling the house, but not moving out just yet, has come with a sort of emotional limbo to mirror our physical one. Saying goodbye to our first house, which actually was perfect for us, and the responsibility of owning it, which I hated, is bittersweet, like saying goodbye to Nashville. Here we got married, made our first adult home, and made dear friends. We also committed 20% of our years thus far to grad school, years filled with tears and frustration and [all too seldom] celebrations of success.
It's bizarre to think about no longer doing something you've done for a long time, especially when your life has been consumed by it. In two and a half weeks, I have to finish up in lab in order to go to an amazing internship, but none of that feels real right now. I am too used to how my life has been. Instead of feverishly working in lab or on packing up our house or on seeing friends before they and I leave, I am writing about it, maybe doing a bit of processing, but mostly just sitting with it.
Have you ever had a transition that you just needed to sit with?
§ 3 Responses to Transition
So glad everything worked out for you all selling the house quickly AND having a place to stay as you transition. Reading the link you posted about YHL made me want to sell my house once we fix it up and hen move more central. They just make it sound so! fun! But then I remember that Neil's the real fixer-upper, not me, and he works full time. Also, can't believe you only have two weeks left of lab. Crazy!
[…] last twelve months, I've felt the most unsettled that I ever have in my adult life. Selling our house, an internship in Chicago, a move North Carolina, and another [local] NC move, against a constant […]

Look On The Brightside.21 Reviews
Just look on the brightside, and you'll be alright.
You all know the feeling of sadness, and you feel all alone. No one there to hold your hand, no one to guide you into the light and make you feel on top of the world. No one there to cheer you up. Yeah, we've all had that feeling.
That feeling where you want to just curl up into a ball and die, because no one would ever notice, right? No one would ever care? Well, you're wrong. Someone would actually care. That someone would be me.
So, if you feel like you are hated, not loved, there's one thing you gotta do. Stop, because you are loved, by me. If the world makes you feel tall, just remember these words: You're only as tall, as your heart will let you be. You're only as small, as the world lets you seem. When the going gets rough, and you feel like you may fall. Just look on the brightside, you're roughly six feet tall.
Just look on the brightside, and you'll be alright.
A/N: I'm happy again. I just remember to look on the brightside. :) so you got a happy me again, plus it's sunny so that's an ultimate mood booster by about 10+ moodlets. Yes, this is Sims Talk. I actually had a pretty good day today, beside the fact I got told off at lunch because I apparently had my music way too fucking loud, even though it was on full blast but with my shitty volume on my phone, it was medium. But, I turned it up when miss wasn't looking, but then it got deadly serious. She said 'turn it down or I take your phone away.'. No one, and I mean NO ONE takes away my phone. So, I was kinda like a little rebel today. Right. Off to download some songs. Rate and Review! (With happy positive things, if it gets sad I will internet-bitchslap you.) Peace and Cookies! XO Sadie. PS: I thought I lost my house-key today, but it was at the very back of my bag, as my bag has a lot of pockets and it's hard to remember where everything is. lol. such a wally. Right. Now I'm gone.

Laptops in the Kitchen: What Do You Think?
This came up during our discussion on the pros and cons of electronic delivery for food magazines, and we thought it would be interesting to put the question out there. Do you display recipes on a laptop while cooking, or is that just begging for trouble?
Personally, we've started bringing our laptop into the kitchen more frequently in the past few months. We're finding the majority of our recipes online these days and displaying the recipe our laptop often beats jotting it down or using up paper to print it off.
We set the laptop on a table across the room from where we're actually cooking, so there's (hopefully!) no danger of accidentally spilling ingredients onto the keyboard. Having sticky fingers is sometimes an issue, but we can usually reduce the page size of the recipe so that it fits on one screen, thus reducing the need to scroll.
We also think we'll take a suggestion from Kitchn reader Tiamat_the_Red and start covering the keyboard with plastic wrap. If we had a Kindle or an iPhone, we would probably do the same thing but put the device in a sealed plastic bag.
The only downside to this high-tech move is not having an good system for taking notes or marking changes. We try to keep a spiral notebook for these things, but this can still be confusing when want to make the recipe again and need to figure out how our notes correspond with the online recipe.
Do you ever bring your laptop into the kitchen?

I use my laptop several times a week in the kitchen. I use to print out recipes, but then I started feeling guilty about wasting paper.
I wish I had a computer built into the refrigerator, then I'd never had to worry about getting liquids in hard drive.
I put my laptop on the counter while I do dishes so I can catch up on Hulu or Instant Netflix. No close calls so far...
(I know doing dishes by hand wastes a lot of water, and I'd love to have a dishwasher but I'm in the attic of a 150-year-old house. I don't think it's possible to get something that bulky up the tiny, tiny stairs.)
We used to, but for xmas I got my girlfriend and iPod touch and now we mainly use it for recipes (and controlling our mac mini's itunes). So far it is working out pretty well, but a larger screen would be helpful and maybe a better recipe program... we are currently using Evernote.
I copy and paste all of the recipes I like into one note. it is much easier to organize them there than in a word doc. You can have tabs for categories like pasta or beans and then a page for each recipe. it is also easy to add whatever notes you want once they are in there. One note is good at converting thing from the internet into a format that looks good, unlike word. And you can put pictures in too.
I put my laptop on a worksurface that I am not using for cooking so I can see it but not get anything spilled on it. I will save recipes as pdf's and organize them in folder by type. I don't have the motivation to put them into one note or anything that advanced.
I put my laptop on a shelf in my kitchen, a little higher up at eye level, so that I do not get ingredients on it.
Yep. I do. In my last apartment, I put my laptop on a chair in the corner of the room or on the kitchen table. I didn't use the table to prep as I had plenty of counter space.
I have yet to use my laptop in the kitchen of this apartment. I've only lived in it for three months or so.
we have a bookshelf in our kitchen across from our stove (our kitchen is narrow) so it's easy to set the laptop inside one of the shelves and turn around, check out the recipe, and continue cooking without worrying about spilling on our laptops

A Bismarck, North Dakota man just made a killing off a 20-year-old gallon of barbecue sauce.
Mort Bank used to own a McDonald's franchise and saved the sauce after a Michael Jordan burger promotion in 1992.
He just sold it for nearly $10,000 on eBay. Banks says he thinks this bottle of sauce is the last of its kind in existence.
The winning bid came from Michael Jordan country, Chicago. But he doesn't suggest eating it. It has an expiration date of December 8, 1992.

Hey Trevor,
Yeah, this would be a fine jib board. Extruded base wont hold up too long to serious jibbing though.

This board would be great for that. Tip to tail wood core and two layers of fiberglass. The perfect blend of flex and function. Don't worry about the extruded base, it's easy to tune and can take a beating.

Exploratorium's Tactile Dome Keeps Visitors In the Dark
A Cool Place to Visit in the Season of Halloween
Since 1971, the Tactile Dome has been drawing visitors for an experience that in 1970s-speak has been described as "transcendent." Designed by August Coppola (father of actor Nicolas Cage and brother of director Francis Ford Coppola), the exhibit challenges visitors to negotiate its 13-chambered, pitch-black interior filled with textures and objects that at times seem familiar, but for which a definitive understanding is always just out of reach.
$17 covers admission to the Tactile Dome and the Exploratorium. Reservations are available by calling (415) 561-0362, Monday through Friday, between 10am and 5pm. Reservations are for 1 hour and 15 minute sessions; private rentals are limited to a minimum of 15 or a maximum of 20 participants. Tactile Dome hours extend to 6:45pm on Friday and Saturday.
Hours of Operation & New Evening Hours
Tuesday-Sunday 10am-5pm; every Thursday evening adults only (ages 18 and up) 6pm-10pm.

Postcard from ... Tel Aviv
Readers' comments (41)
L Meister, I couldn't have put it better myself. The point of this 'postcard' is not to offer an opinion on the Arab-Israeli conflict, but to provide an insight in to the writer's experiences as being a lawyer based in Tel Aviv.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is not black and white. It cannot be reduced down to simply blaming one side or another. Israelis and Palestinians do not all think with one mind. They do not speak with one voice, and they certainly don't act as one body.
There are moderates and extremists on both sides of the conflict. Posting incendiary comments on TheLawyer.com doesn't highlight the plight of the Palestinian people or condone Israeli policies in the West bank and Gaza. There is a time and place for debating Middle Eastern politics and this isn't it.
Meister would love for us to buy the vacuous "only democracy in the ME" line - well buddy there was also a democracy in Europe which caused much damage to humanity. You should try to talk sense into your settler friends who want to cleanse the occupied lands. Once you achieve that then you will have the right to preach.
L Meister continues to live in his make belief world - genocide and ethnic cleansing cannot be justified on the basis that Israel is a "democracy". Israel cannot claim its a civilised nation until it stops the occupation and allows Palestinians the right to basic utilities and food imports.
You cannot expect to promote Tel Aviv without also accepting the crimes being committed on a daily basis by Israel.
I can't wait for Postcard from...Belfast
As a little aside to my earlier point: actually, if anything, lawyers in Israel play a very important role in highlighting human rights issues and in pursuing them in the courts. The Israeli Supereme Court very often challenges Israeli government decisions.
So to the "haters" - perhaps you could actually be more constructive and support a legal community which often goes to great lengths to support a cause you believe in.
That said, I also want to re-iterate that this article is NOT about the political situation, nor is it about "lawyering" in TA per se. It is merely about how one particular lawyer feels about living there.
Obviously missing Cadbury's Creme Eggs so much that they have become "cream" eggs in her tortured mind...
Natalie, this is a great article, thank you! Finally something positive on Israel. What a change from all the negative we usually read when it comes to Israel.If the people who wrote the negative comments had visited Israel, they would actually understand how different the reality is there from the views that anti-Israeli or pro-Palestinian groups try to promote!
Yes Israel is a democracy, yes, Tel Aviv is a great city, one where Arab and Jewish families have barbecues next to each others on the see front during the weekend ... so much for the cleansing some are mentionning.
I don't want to enter in a political debate as this is not the forum for. I just want to say that this a fine article but you probably need to be open-minded and and not too stupid to understand it!!
This is an article about a lawyers experience in Israel, not a political debate on Israel. Its like talking to a wall sometimes, the middle east is populated by authoritarian regimes with appalling human rights records. Israel is home to at least 80 human rights organisations, a vibrant free press, a democratically elected government (with Arab, openly gay MP's), a judiciary that frequently rules against the government, a politically active academia, multiple political parties and probably more journalists per capita than any other country in the world.
On the other hand, the Iranian regime, and most Arab regimes, remained brutal, closed and autocratic, permitting little or no internal dissent.
the UN could be greatly beneficial to citizens of those countries, but they were instead being ignored as report after report on Israel is compiled and you all swallow it like everyone else down at the student union.
Its really just fashionable nonsense to criticisize Israel..
Paddy and Henry G are seemingly the same people? judging by the timings, grammar and opinion. I would also go as far to say that he is also Sean Fein that returned later to see if he had any replies.
This method of blogging is just to make out that ones particular opinion is very popular with others.. just saying... get a life..
Natalie, thanks for a great piece. You've described Tel-Aviv as it is and have evoked the spirit of the city.
To the sneerers (the 'cadbury's egg' comment is one example) and the other bitter armchair warriors: Let's see you write similar hateful comments about other countries who are in a state of war. Oh, I forgot...these standards (double?) only apply to Israel.
Interesting article - I've heard good reports from friends visiting Tel Aviv and would like to visit, the nightlife being a drawcard!
On the political note, its hard to avoid the fact that Israel let's itself down. As a country born from oppression of its people, its a shame it has not 'treated others as it wanted to be treated itself'. Yes some ME regimes are despicable (see comments on Postcard from Riyadh). However, Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank are disgraceful - just because Israel has democracy unlike most ME countries is irrelevant to this fact. The admirable Menachem Begin, former terrorist (against the British), President of Israel and then Nobel Peace Prize winner, said he had no doubt that Israel would be judged "by its treatment of the Palestinians" - with the siege of Gaza, the illegal colonisation of the West Bank, the building of 'the wall', the continued occupation of foreign lands and disregard for international law including basic human rights.... perhaps 'apartheid' is a suitable description?
This is an excellent article.
Reading the comments on your piece from others, it is a shame that some people seem incapable of distinguishing their one dimensional political views from Natalie's personal reflection on the city where she works.
It is undoubtedly their loss.
Sounds like a nice place but there's no getting away from the (sad) reality that the country in which it's located is guilty of crimes against humanity.
Peter, do yourself a favour and actually don't visit Tel-Aviv, there's a good chap. you might bump into some people who recall how, after 1939, the British refused to let Jews escaping from the Nazis into Palestine. And your comment about how other countries' (presumably Arab) lack of democracy and Human Rights gives them some 'get out of jail card' is rank hypocrisy.
email@example.com pm: After the Iraqi and Afghan wars, I presume that you won't be visiting the UK very soon, then!
Great article, great country.
Why is it whenever there is an article about Israel vitriolic comments appear - "genocide" "apartheid".
Israel is a small country surrounded by enemies that question its fundamental right to exist (Iran/Hamas and others). It is is a democracy struggling to resolve a complex political issue. Most Israeli's accept there has to be a fair and just resolution of the Palestinian issue but as in most democracies getting a consensus is not easy.
The vitriol does not help. A more considered (lawyerly) approach to the issue would go a long way.
Anyone with a brain and a conscience can discern that Israel is a complicated place with a dramatic history. At times, Israel as a state is deserving of criticism, as is any other state in the world.
I am alarmed, however, at the unrestrained venom that many of the comments here express. As much as I am reluctant to equate anti-Israel rhetoric with anti-Jewish racism, I can only conclude that much of the unsubstantiated vitriol levelled against Israel by readers of the article is motivated by prejudice and bigotry.
I fail to understand how it is relevant or proportionate to unleash a hail of hate against Israel upon reading a light hearted commentary on a vibrant Mediterranean city.
It sounds great. I'm sure the newly-orphaned children growing up in the Gaza slums would love to live in such a land of opportunity!
The point is, no one is denying what a fun place it might be to visit, but try not to be seduced by the bright lights.
I daren't make any negative statement against Israel for fear of being crucified. You can't justify evil acts against others on the basis that they have been perpetrated on people like you in the past.
I spent a couple of months at Heskia Hacmun Law Firm and it was realy great. Really recommended for interns.

What's a fractal?
Just one of the main building blocks of the universe. Known as 'God's thumbprint,' these simple math formulas reveal the intricate recursive patterns found within nature, yet still remain one of science's best-kept secrets. Follow along as we explore the contours, curiosities and creator of this beautiful wonder of the computer age.
"A fractal is a way of seeing infinity." —Benoit B. Mandelbrot
Meet the Fellows
Sometimes the greatest scientific breakthroughs happen by chance. Dropping a piece of silicon into hydrofluoric acid, for instance, allowed IBM Fellow Bernard Meyerson to discover the silicon germanium chip. The rest, as they say, is history, as SiGe influences how our WiFi, cell phones and GPS devices work today.
In what was called the "smallest publicity stunt ever," IBM Fellow Don Eigler arranged atoms to spell the letters "IBM" in 1989. This innovation marked the first time we could move individual atoms—a huge innovation for really small science.
Watson, and his uncanny ability to answer anything from trivia to critical medical inquiries, came from a patented IBM innovation.
(Thanks for the photo Stefania!)
Low on cash? Out of stamps? Want to skip to the gate? Good thing for self-service kiosks, another world's first from IBM.
(Thanks for the photo, Joy!)
Gone, but not forgotten. Time recording machines came from a patented IBM innovation.
(Thanks for the photo, Heidi!)
That little, one-finger, laptop doohickey (or as we like to call it, a TrackPoint pointing stick) came from a patented IBM innovation.
(Thanks for the photo Dimitri!)
From StarWars' Planet Mustafar to StarTrek's Planet Genesis, hyper-realistic computer animated graphics came from fractal geometry, a patented IBM innovation.
"As a huge fan of photography and admiring Benoit Mandelbrot's genius since college, I believe fractals are one of the most brilliant depiction of intelligence. Sadly we lost him last year, but we will never lose his work!"
(Cool screensaver. Thanks for the photo, Silvia!)

Second Life is an online world that enables users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars. Residents can explore the world (known as the grid), meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another.
In this particular case, some 80 transhumanist avatars gathered in the virtual world of Second Life for a community event organized by Humanity+ Magazine. The invitation for the event said:
Join us in Second Life to brainstorm how to move forward together! Our upcoming event is for our members and friends, and will focus on the intersection of leadership and the future.

Ch. 13 - Muse1 Reviews
"Do I just stay here...?" I asked.
"You should come along. Come on," Ray said grabbing me helping me to the bus.
We went to the back and I asked Ray to bring me something to drink.
"What would you like?" He asked.
"Liquid" I responded.
He rolled his eyes and left the room. I reached in my pocket and pulled out one of the pain killers the medic had given me, Ray came back with a coke and handed to me. I downed the pill and made a face when I took a drink of coke.
"Play a song for me Ray," I said.
"Yea. Play Fat Bottomed Girls" I requested.
He gave me a look but started to play it anyway.
"Yay!" I said. I looked up then and saw Gerard walk in. He gave me a hesitant look and sat down in the sitting/kitchen area and looked back at me. I looked straight ahead in confusion. I shook myself out of my daze.
"Hey, Ray? Can I use your phone?" I asked.
"Yea. Here." He said handing me his phone.
I dialed my friends' phone number.
"Hey, A.J. It's me!"
"Andrea, you dipshit."
"Oh! Hey. Where were you at school today? Oh how was the concert? Was Gerard hot? Was Ray as hot as you thought?"
"Ohhhh...you know. Um, I'm actually still in Nashville" I lied "...and...I was wondering if you'd tell your mom I'd be back in a day or two and yes..." I stopped myself. How do I answer those
questions without being too obvious?
"They were...great" I said.
"Yea, but were they hot?"
"I have to go A.J. If my mom calls just...tell her I'll call her back and...I'll call back later to see if she called."
"Okay. Anyway. Who's number is this and why did you block it?"
"It's...Collin's. And I don't know why it's blocked. I'll talk to you later, bye" I said hurriedly and hung up.
In case you were wondering, I don't exactly live with my mom. I do, but I unofficially live with my friend. I stay over there constantly, because I was tired of being cooped up inside my house.
"Aren't you going to call your mom?" Ray asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nah. She doesn't need to know."
Ray looked curious but didn't ask anything.
"Oh...well, who's A.J.? Is he your boyfriend?" Ray asked. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gerard look up at me, almost like he was waiting for the answer as well.
"Um, no. A.J. is short for Ashley Jane. She's my best friend." I explained.
When we got to the venue, we saw more than a few people already lined up waiting for the doors to open. I was doing the same thing only a day ago, and now here I was going with MCR. We all piled out of the tour bus to the back door and went to the dressing room before heading out to the stage. Frank handed me his camera and a backstage pass then left.
I went out to follow them, but then I heard English accents. I stopped dead and turned around. Muse. I cleared my throat and walked to them.
"Um excuse me," I said shyly.
Matthew Bellamy (the lead singer) turned to me. "Hello? Who are you?" He inquired.
"Um I'm Andrea, I-"
He cut me off with a laugh "Oh! You're the girl who got chased!" He said with recognition.
"Yea that'd be me. I was wondering if I could get some pictures with you guys."
"Oh yea. No problem." He took the camera and handed it to Chris Wolstenholme, the bassist and he took a picture of me and Matthew. It went in a circle until I had a picture with all three of them.
"Thanks guys, I really appreciate it."

When I asked him what he was in the mood for he told me he wanted crab since I had never cooked that before. Obviously I was up for the challenge LOL. I spent hours in the kitchen and everything came out perfectly. I made crab legs, shrimp, rice, sweet corn, chicken sausage, peach cobbler and one of Lamar's favorites, fried chicken and biscuits. It was truly a feast and Lamar loved it! If my hubby is happy, I'm happy :)
Being the proud chef that I am, I had to take pics of my cooking masterpiece to share with all of you LOL.
Six Hour Dinner Prep for My Hubby!
Hi dolls! As you all know, I love to cook for my man, so the other night I made chicken and dumplings for dinner and a blackberry crumble for dessert ALL from scratch! I had never eaten or attempted to make chicken and dumplings before but when I asked my hubby what he wanted for dinner that was the dish he asked for, and what hubby wants, hubby gets! LOL. Little did I know that cooking this dish from scratch would take SIX hours!!! I did a little research and found a few recipes that included some shortcuts but I decided to stick with the long way. I wanted to do it right! So after a looooong day in the kitchen, I served my first homemade meal of chicken and dumplings, and Lamar LOVED it! He even invited his boys over to have some! The blackberry crumble, which I also made from scratch, was a success as well! Hats off to the chef! LOL. (more…)
I Made My Own Pretzels!!!!
I have seriously been so into cooking lately, so over the weekend I decided my next kitchen adventure would be to make my own pretzels!! They came out PERFECTLY! I was so proud of myself. I need to stop watching those cooking shows LOL. I'm addicted!!!!!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Dapplegray is a great school. The focus on education is always evident. Expectations for students are very high, which is necessary for success. The strong educational program thrives on innovative techniques for learning, which are endorsed and encouraged by the leadership and teachers. In addition, there is emphasis on the arts, science, field trips, etc. which supplement the students learning and allow for a complete learning experience. In addition to what is provided during the regular school day, Dapplegray offers fee-based after-school enrichment programs and a structured child-care program for working parents. It is no coincidence that this school has a 10 out of 10 GreatSchools Rating and a 936 API score. The teachers and administration offer a solid program based on what is proven to result in student success. It is truly a privilege for each and every Dapplegray student to have the experience of attending this outstanding elementary school.
My kids are having a great experience at the school. It's supported by a great community and the teachers are really engaged. Recently, we've found that with funding cuts our class sizes continue to creep up. More disturbing though is that Dapplegray has set acceptable class sizes to max at 36. That means it is acceptable for the school to have classrooms that size. This is incredibly disappointing and had we known this, we may have made a different decision to go here. The California education system is troubled and this year our school has received the brunt of it. I'm hoping these problems are resolved for future students as there is great potential here.
I have two children at this school 2nd and 4th graders that have been there since Kindergarten and it has been great. There is so much parent participation that sometimes it is difficult to even get into the rotation to help in the classroom because so many parents are volunteering. The Art at Your Fingertips and music are great programs in the school and allow the children to not just focus on the tests and scores but to explore the artistic creative sides of themselves. Mr. London is not warm and fuzzy but my kids think he's great so I'm happy. We've had great teachers every year. The grading is a bit weird because in general you get proficient all the time even when you know your child is doing above the bar but I'm actually okay with them not focusing on grades yet. There is an expectation that your child can read at the start of first grade but that's because they teach them in Kindergarten. My son was not interested in learning to read in Kindergarten and I knew the expectation for first grade. I didn't talk to Mr. London but did talk to his teacher and she was very supportive and worked with me to get my son up to speed. Now in second grade he's doing great.
The education my three kids have received at Dapplegray has been adequate though not impressive. I am not crazy about their approach to reading, it seems like there are a lot of worksheets and not a lot of quality reading going on to prepare them for work they will be doing in middle school and high school. At the high school level thank goodness, there are few meaningless worksheets. I think the reason they are so heavy on the worksheets is for testing purposes. Everything seems to be about getting high test scores and not to to attain a joy of learning. However, the parent participation is wonderful. If you want to volunteer, there are are many good opportunities. Grading is interesting. On a five point scale, my oldest kids always received 4s which meant they were "proficient." Interesting, when they got to middle school (and now high school) they have received all A's with the exception of a couple of B's. Worst part of the school by far is the parking situation. To pick up your child is the biggest ordeal at Dapplegray. Plan on spending 30 minutes a day in line to pick up your kid and be at times be yelled at!
Not all that shines is made of gold. Unless you're child is able to read by the START of 1st grade, you're going to have issues. On the 1st day of orientation, we're told your child is expected to write a book report each night as part of homework... the best part? Your CHILD is the one that's supposed to do the reading. Seriously? Get ready for TIMED TESTS including for reading/spelling which is absurd when they're just LEARNING to read. It's like throwing a stumbling toddler into a relay race and expecting them to do well. God forbid your child fall from their "average" learning curve because you'll get NO WHERE with the Principal. He's dismissive and will ignore you until you go away (or pull your kid from the school). The one great thing about the school is the parental involvement (you'd think it was a requirement). MOST of the teachers here are amazing but the CORE STAFF (office/administrative/principal) are RUDE. Ask them a question and you'd think they were doing you a favor by bothering to respond. I wish they'd clean house at this school... there'd be a lot of parents celebrating if they would.
My child has been at this school for 3 years and it is excellent. I was nervous about sending her to public school, because she is a very high-energy child, and I was not sure she would do well in a conventional school environment. But she has thrived and loves it. The teachers we have had so far are excellent - they go the extra mile. Many of them have children here (or did), and so are very invested in the school - there is a real sense that parents and teachers are here to work together to provide a great education for their children. Parent involvement is very high. As for the comments regarding special needs kids, my own child is not , but she has a classmate who has a full-time aid, and I know that the parents are very happy with the support he has received. It's true that Mr. London can come off a bit gruff with parents, but whenever I have witnessed this, it has been because a parent was clearly violating a school rule - usually a traffic rule in the parking lot. So, yes, he could work on his 'bedside' manner, but there's no question he works very hard, and the school is well-run.
First off, Mr. London, a big thank you. You work non-stop to provide a better future for our kids. You attend every PTA meeting, Booster club meeting, and go above and beyond everytime even when you are facing certain struggles in your own life. You have a dream of what you want Dapplegray to be, and our kids will be the benefactors all due to your tireless effort! so once again, Thank you. Thank goodness we have a family enviroment with dedicated parents that understand that the funds that Dapplegray does raise all goes back to benefit the kids. Give what you can when you can. If you need to see the difference these funds make, try visiting a school that doesn't have the support from their community. You will quickly realize what a difference every dollar makes, from teacher quality to soap in the bathrooms!!!
I have to agree with the commentator who posted Dec. 7, 2009.... I know that Principal London isn't exactly warm and fuzzy, but he does a fine job running an exceptionally large elementary school. We have a child with special needs since the beginning of school, and--contrary to so many horror stories we had heard from other parents in the PV district and elsewhere about getting cooperation with the IEP and special needs--Principal London and the school's professional staff have been NOTHING BUT HELPFUL AND WONDERFUL. There was no fighting or resistance in implementing all the aspects of our child's plan, including providing a one-to-one aid. Even with all the budget cuts, they put the child's interest first. Plus, all the teachers we've had have been absolutely wonderful. Too many reviewers on here are obsessed with their competitive fantasies for their own kids.
After reading the last two reviews, I have to say that Dapplegray is one of the best schools on the Peninsula. INCLUDING the principal. He is blunt & straight forward & doesn't beat arround the bush. He is always on the go, trying to do whats right for the kids. How do you make 500 + parents happy? You don't. So you do what is good for the kids, deal with it parents! Hes not gonna go easy squeezy softy on you. Is the world gonna hold your childs hand every time they walk out the door? No. My kids are stronger more independant, they listen and thrive at this school. They LOVE their principal, he speaks to them at their level, he lets them know the bad and good but also what he expects of them. The teachers here WILL make your kid smarter even the special needs child.
My son has special needs in Sec. 504 and the principal is so judgmental. His teacher last year and his teacher this year both gave him so many negative reports because they consider his special needs to be 'bad choices that he makes' He comes home crying most of the time and the principal encourages the staff to take a no-exceptions approach when it comes to what they call 'disciplinary behavior'. He was going to private school before this economic time hit me so hard, and I wish I could send him back... Good public schools are so hard to find and my son has to suffer in the meantime. And this school deserves a low rank, not because of the quality of education; but because of the quality of personnel.
Dapplegray would be such a perfect school if the principal leadership were a little better. The teachers are just fantastic. There are many teachers that seem to go above and beyond what they need to do. We are very proud to have had such great teachers.
We love Dapplegray school. The teachers are very experienced. I do have to agree with some of the other parents, that the school is lacking principal guidance and that at times he seems very unprofessional. The schools is in a great location and the district is also excellent.
Dapplegray's teachers are excellent. Unfortunately, I will have to lower the rating because of the principal. He needs to understand how to talk to parents in a nice way. There are many parents that have had bad experiences with Fred London. Other than that, the district and teachers are excellent.
My family love Dapplegray and the school's commitment to excellence. All the teachers that my children have had contact with are all wonderful. The parents are very involved and supportive of most school functions and activities. The only concern I have is perhaps the teachers are pushing the younger children too hard academically to keep up with the high API scores that the school maintains. I want my kids to enjoy their first years in school without getting overly stressed out by weekly testing just to prepare for the 'real' tests' to come in the 2nd grade. I'm one to challenge kids intellectually but I don't want them to be broken. Weekly spelling tests in the 1st grade I think is absurd, especially when only a few months back parents were being told to allow the children to use their 'kid spelling' and let the children learn to read and recognize
The Dapplegray campus is wonderful and on the whole my children have had great learning experiences on many levels. I have found that some teachers seem to be doing their jobs without the enthusiasm I saw 4 or 5 years ago. I have always been concerned about the safety of children at school. They are dismisssed from classrooms onto a grassy area, without any adult supervision during pick-up. This seems extremely dangerous, and thoughtless. At times there is a administration member helping to direct traffic, but this has been extremely erratic as of late. The pick-up/traffic situatioin is chaotic for the most part, as parents who are eager to collect their children ignore previously agreed upon 'rules of the road' at Dapplegray. The Principal seems indifferent as he sometimes is present outside at the end of school, but does not consistently intervene with problems, and doesn't watch the children.
Dapplegray is a fabulous elementary school. Our children are very lucky to attend!
Absolutely excellent school...without question.
Dapplegray is a great school. The teachers team teach and there is consistancy between the classes. They love what they do and help bring out the best in the children. Fred London may be harsh at times, but only with the parents - he is great with the kids, and he knows what he is doing. His leadership has brought the largest elementary school on the peninsula to a level of excellence that will help all of our children succeed.
Although I was pleased with the first two years at Dapplegray, I have found the 'political' aspect of the school to be overbearing. So interested in collecting money. The principal is more interested in siding with the teachers than finding out what the real problem is. I was very pleased with Mrs. Gonzalez as a teacher, she should be rewarded. The school seems so nice from the outside, however, there is a bit of poison within which they so eloquently try to hide.
This school is amazing, it has helped me through some 'education emergency' and the teachers are incredible- I used to go there and I loved it!

Film classic 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' screens at Tower
By Sean P. Means
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published May 10 2012 04:20PM
It's a sweaty Southern stew brewing in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," the 1958 movie based on Tennessee Williams' play — which screens for one week, starting Friday, May 11, at the Tower Theatre, 876 E. 900 South, Salt Lake City.
Brick (Paul Newman) is an alcoholic ex-football player obsessed with his deceased best friend and the guilt over his strained marriage to Maggie (Elizabeth Taylor). Maggie loves Brick, but he resists her affection. Meanwhile, Brick's father, Big Daddy (Burl Ives), frets over the fact that Brick and Maggie are childless — while his other son Gooper (Jack Carson) is father to a bunch of "no-neck monsters."
The movie is part of the Salt Lake Film Society's "Tower Through Time" series, which this month concentrates on great screen actresses.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" screens today through Thursday, May 17, at 4 p.m. Admission is $6.25.

Why is there such heated debate over Creationism vs. Evolution?
Recently Fox News and Gallup posted some poll results:
I found them interesting and wondered why they cause so much discussion. Two theories both sides unwilling to budge. So I devised an experiment and on a Christian blog I posed that evolution was true and on Ted as you may know I posed a debate on evolution and sided against it.
In both cases the arguements were fierce and hence my final question on the subject in TED. I appoligize for those who got heated and there were a few. I thank those who tried to answer.
So for this question I am wondering about why this topic is so heated? Your answers will help my report for school.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 15 2012: James,
You received very good responses to your "why" question. Identity is a big deal and the possibility of being wrong or of details dear to a person becoming weak by advancing knowledge or philosophy, could be threatening. Imagine the feelings of uncertainty when something highly valued becomes a point of contention.
Human beings adapt to change and on TED the question has been presented whether technology is moving too fast for people to absorb. Could we all assume that religion is the LAST to change? Man is slow to accept change for which many centuries were needed for acceptance.
I would like to add this possibility re the differences between evolution and creation: Evolution is creation in slow motion. Life was not brought here to this planet, but there was a team of Life Carriers who did initiate life after the planet had attained suitable life supporting status. There was a plan that is larger than anything we have seen from science or any of the religions to date and that plan included a major whirl of masses that eventually spun off material to form our planet. Evolution is real, but it is a plan that involves details of eventual attainment.
It is possible no one has lied in the past; it is likely we non-omniscient beings have not been able to explain all things and therefore we advanced what we thought we knew! Science and its resulting technology from studies and educated experiments, is still very young compared to the multi-millennia of human experience before science.
It seems the "heat" comes when someone attempts to force someone to accept an unfamiliar posit. Early man and later man mostly were ignorant. Monarchies were needed to control the masses and we formed cultures and societies based on what we were told. Now, we have expanded education and resources! We are poised for big changes in then next centuries!!!!!!! Love is better than any argument that puts others down.
Oct 17 2012: Mark,
Man changes and as a result what he believes is right or proper changes. As a result man's morales change and with them laws. God's laws of what is right never changes. You mention that religion is last to change. You miss the point all together. Religion is also man made and has changed. Christianity has not changed and is alive and well in the hearts of many who are ready to talk to you about it and how He has changed their lives.
Not going to argue evolution here as that is not the question.
God is love!

2010 Porsche Cayenne
All-New Cayenne Captured!
By August 4, 2008 / Photos by Copyright KGP Photography
The rumor mill has been working overtime regarding Porsche's future SUV endeavors. While at first it appeared that the legendary marque from Zuffenhausen was developing a smaller, Audi Q5-based SUV commonly referred to as "the Roxster" by the spy photographer community it seems more likely the prototype we've spotted is in fact the next-generation Cayenne, which Porsche has chosen to downsize.
Going smaller makes sense, given Porsche's tradition (until the Cayenne, that is) of building relatively light sports cars. And what with skyrocketing fuel prices (especially in the U.S., the Cayenne's most important market), a lighter, smaller and "greener" Porsche SUV may be just the ticket to keep sales going in a tough U.S. economy.
