For the last 10 years the digital preservation community has painstakingly attempted to gather together information on digital file formats. This has led to the development of many registries, databases and silos of information. These efforts have been a great success in many communities but the number of people involved is still too few to achieve critical mass… until now.
In July of 2012, Jason Scott of the Archive Team decided that the problem was important enough to propose the idea of "Just Solve The Problem Month", with the very first topic being file formats, both physical and digital.
In the last couple centuries, we've created a number of self-encapsulated data sets, or "files". Be they letters, programs, tapes, stamped foil, piano rolls, you name it. And while many of those data sets are self-evident, a f*!k-ton are not. They're obscure. They're weird. And worst of all, many of them are the vital link to scores of historical information. Everyone knows this problem. It's why old novelists cry they can't pull their first novel out of Wordperfect. It's why someone who used U-matic tapes to record the first meetings of a famous protest group goes "oh well". It's why, in all things, someone looks at anything older than five years, and goes "bye", figuring there's nothing they can do. And I've had to listen to the mewings about this problem for at least 20 years now, in various forms. A lot. And then the person lights up about maybe solving this problem, and then dims and says "well, we can't really solve the problem". Because they know – it'd take an army of people to do it. Let's make that goddamned army!
- Jason Scott, Archive Team
The digital preservation community should see this as a call-to-arms on four accounts:
- We MUST join this army and provide the raw data on the different file formats (not just copy the data in PRONOM).
- We MUST make the first "Just Solve The Problem Month" a great success. It should build a bigger community of activists and lead to future months where we can solve more of the great digital problems.
- We MUST adopt and take care of ALL the resulting data and linked resources.
- We MUST demonstrate the real value of this effort to the army of people who contributed or allowed time for their workforce to contribute.

Newberry: James shows unique versatility
So where does LeBron James fit in a historical sense?
His place will be decided not only by the next few games in the NBA Finals but the remainder of his career.
But to whom should we compare his greatness? Every young player, for a while, was supposed to be the next Michael Jordan.
But James is no shooting guard, despite his perimeter skills. And he's not really a small forward any more than Charles Barkley was a small forward.
James, in many ways, reminds me of Magic Johnson for his size and court vision and ability to play so many positions. But James is in a different stratosphere when it comes to defense. And Magic was in a rarefied air when it came to point guard and leadership skills.
James shows some of those skills in setting up teammates, which always makes him happier than forcing the issue as a scorer. But James turns around and plays power forward on defense or sometimes center.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra, who may need a couple of more winning performances out of James to keep his current status, knows exactly what James is. He was asked if James should be regarded as a "four" (power forward) after averaging 30 points and 10 rebounds throughout the playoffs.
"No, think of him as a great basketball player," Spoelstra said. "That's what I tell him. You're a player. Make plays. Make plays for us, one through five, whatever it takes right now. Don't overthink it."
Magic famously did that for a game as a rookie in 1980 — when the point guard moved to center and had 42 points and 15 rebounds in the Finals against Philadelphia.
James, who has a body more like Karl Malone, has been playing huge at the four consistently, pairing with Shane Battier at the forward slots for Miami.
"He has that ability to make plays and have an impact on every single possession, and that can be the block, the deflection, the rebound, and then obviously the big offensive load that he has," Spoelstra said. "I don't call him a four. I don't call Shane a four. They're both our forwards. LeBron is playing one through five. Shane is playing three positions.
"You know, this team, the way it was built, it forced all of us to look at it differently, even the players that we wanted to acquire. Shane Battier this summer, that would probably be deemed as unconventional in other people's eyes, but we had to look at this team differently the way it was put together and the strengths of the players, the versatility. From the outside it looks like it is incredibly unconventional, but that's a strength."
Anytime James is just reacting and making plays the Heat are at their strength. His coach said LeBron is always "uncomfortable" with his game. It's the same stories we heard about Larry Bird and Magic where they went to work every summer to improve a different aspect of their game.
It's how Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas has remained an offensive force even as his athletic talent begins to give way to age.
"Yeah, I think the biggest evolution of great players is they always stay in constant state of being uncomfortable," Spoelstra said. "They don't stay satisfied. And LeBron every summer has added something to his game. I've seen it when I've followed him from afar, and now that I've gotten to know him he's added two, three, four different elements now to his game, the well documented one of the post up game, which we needed. But he continues to try to improve and stay uncomfortable. I think that's a sign of greatness."
When he used his lessons from Hakeem Olajuwon to throw up the "Dream Shake" fadeaway in Game 6 at Boston, it made the Celtics uncomfortable. When he rebounds and then starts coming down the freeway toward the lane like a young Charles Barkley, it makes the opponent really uneasy.
It's a good thing this Ohio kid didn't really have the grace and touch of Jordan.
Because while James is his own man and not a replica of anyone, he was given a ton of God-given talent and then he's supplemented that with a lot of hard work and ability to see another player use a particular move and incorporate it into his own game.
One of the best things for the Heat's chances in the NBA Finals may have been the injury to Chris Bosh. It made the Eastern Conference semifinals with Indiana and finals versus Boston a lot tougher.
But it sharpened up James' focus on doing anything and everything he could.
"Yeah, I had to change my mindset," James said. "Chris got hurt, that was a big part of our team, going out with an injury. He put a lot of pressure on the rim. So I understood I had to change my approach both offensively and defensively. I had to rebound more, I had to attack more, get into the paint more to make up the difference until he got back."
Unfortunately for the Thunder, "I just had to change and it's kind of stayed that way since he got back.
"I try to do a little bit of everything. Last night they gave me the lane, I was able to get a couple of offensive rebounds and get some putbacks. Then the second half I was able to come off some pick-and-rolls and get to the lane and make a few layups."
James' position on the court may be hard to define. But his status as the game's best player isn't in question. He's the best player in the league and getting better.
He's not really the villain he was made out to be. He seems thoughtful about the sport and the history of it. He plays the game hard and doesn't wait for whistles to bail him out the way his sidekick Dwyane Wade does.
At his size James might have been Bill Russell if he'd come along 40 or 50 years earlier. Or he could have been Karl Malone or Tim Duncan.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will be trying to turn James' Heat into the Buffalo Bills. But they won't be able to erase one of the best playoff campaigns any Hall-of-Famer has every played with some of the unique skills on display.
Durant, the league's best scorer, may still have something to say about who wins this series. But it won't be because James left any stone unturned.

14K yellow solid gold tube earrings with turquoise stone drop details
Material: 14K solid gold, 14K gold fill, and turquoise
Brand: Devon Leigh
Origin: United States
Beverly Hills-based designer Devon Leigh creates jewelry for contemporary women who like their baubles to come with a dash of complexity and decadence. A mauve rhodonite pendant, for example, dangles from the middle of an 18-karat gold vermeil necklace fashioned from playful loops; a mosaic ring features a chunk of multicolored turquoise that seems both boho-chic and medieval. Devon Leigh follows her intuition in designing her Egyptian-style cuff bracelets, gold and chalcedony dangle earrings, brass bangles and other pieces — juxtaposing diverse colors and textures to create a jewelry collection that's truly one-of-a-kind and eclectic.

Copying Garmin Topo Maps
I have the Garmin 24K Topo maps on disc. Can I legally make copies of these discs for my own use? For the record-- I have NEVER cut the labels off of mattresses and I don't want the FBI after me for doing something illegal with Garmin's high priced, but not lockable, Topo maps
If it's legal, HOW?.
I believe the 24k maps use the same unlock code system as the City Navigator maps. So if that is the case, make as many copies as you want because the cd/dvd isn't unique, but the unlock code is.
Garmin 24K topo maps are not locked to a particular device.
According to GPStracklog.com (HERE) the Garmin 24K topo maps in DVD and uSD formats are not locked and can be used on multiple devices:
"Garmin recently finished rolling out their new TOPO US 24K map sets. They are available as downloads and on micro-SD cards, with larger regions available on DVD. All three formats can be purchased directly from Garmin as well as various retailers. The new product offers several advantages including routable trails and detailed highway coverage, and the DVD and micro-SD formats are not locked to a single device, so you can still use them if you buy a new unit."
FWIW, gpscity.com says the same thing...
Copying is Legal
OK. I already have the Topo disc and it appears to be legal to make a copy as a backup. In trying to copy the North Central Topo, I am running into a problem with the file being too large for a single DVD. This is probably my general lack of computer knowledge as opposed to a GPS issue. But how do I get the backup copy made? Compress? Multiple DVDs?
I tried compressing the Garmin files but the compressed file was merged in with the un compressed and I couldn't isolate it and burn to disc When I try to burn to a blank DVD, I get a message that the file is too big for the DVD. I never get an option to use a second disc.
I am using a PC running Windows 7, if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all the help!!!
Buy some double layer DVDs (8.5 gb) as long as your burner is capable of using them. I don't know about being able to spread the data over multiple DVDs.
I cut the labels off mattresses and I always make backup copies of those expensive discs I get from Garmin in case something goes wrong with the original.

Cohiba Black Reviews
Showing 1 through 10 of 21 reviewsCohiba Black Gigante
"Great Cigar down to a 60 gauge roach!"Cohiba Black Gigante
This cigar is a great, but not for novice. It has nice even draw, with an even burn down to a 60 gauge roach. Do not try to get in a quick smoke with this baby, for it burns long and forever. Great smoke.Kenneth in Dillsburg, PA May 12, 2014
"New Favorite"Cohiba Black Robusto Crystal
If you like the Taste of a Good Maduro with a Full Body Flavor then you have to try this one. I'll admit a bit more than I like to pay but on occasions when you just want the Best this is One of them. Never harsh even to the Nub. They generally last me 2 hours or more. Great Casino Cigar. Try one I don't think you'll be disappointed.Ed in Louisiana August 22, 2013
"Bring the scotch"Cohiba Black Robusto Crystal
I found this cigar to burn fairly evenly and had no problem with the draw (though I do like to take my time when I sit down to smoke a cigar). I prefer to smoke my cigars with scotch, and this one was well-suited to that purpose, standing up very well to a peaty Islay. The appearance of the cigar is also excellent.Brandon in FL January 21, 2011
"Good but not great."Cohiba Black Corona
I enjoyed the smoke. Did not find the draw to be bad nor did it taste like cardboard. I like Maduros and was excited to try this one. I will say I have had less expensive that were just as good. I am not keen on paying for the name if I can smoke the same flavor for less.Mike H. in Dillingham, AK December 21, 2010
"IN A WORD PERECT"Cohiba Black Churchill
Cigar is the best, most consistent and pleasurable smoke I have had to date. I've been smoking for seven months now and I order primarily samplers, so I had only one of these beauties :>( At the current price it will be some time before I order another. My only gripe albeit trivial is that the draw was not as good as I've had with other sticks; it was somewhat light.pat in new york April 17, 2009
"Awsome..."Cohiba Black Supremo
I compare this cigar to a fighter jet...The first half goes along nice and smooth and then it's like the after burners kick in and this smoke becomes nice and strong.....Jerrylee in Mount Vernon ,N.Y. April 5, 2009
"This Cigar Is The Bomb"Cohiba Black Corona
Cohiba Black Supremo, this cigar is unbelievable! I?m ruined for any other smoke. This cigar is the bomb!James in Fargo ND February 16, 2009
"Best Cigar Ever!!!!"Cohiba Black Robusto Crystal
I'm just a begineer only smoking cigars for the past 6 months. I feel in love with the Cohiba Blacks. Good to last inch!!!!James in Richmond, Va January 8, 2009
"terrible draw"Cohiba Black Pequenos (6)
Flavorful, but terrible draw, too much work smoking this cigar, like sucking on a garden hose with a golf ball in the other endGlenn in Melbourne, FL January 5, 2009
"Excellent quick and tasty smoke..."Next
I think these little guys are great. I don't always have the time to sit down for an hour. For a great quick smoke these are at the top of my list..Chris in Portland, Oregon June 8, 2008

SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/13 --
- DSE 3.0 delivers core security features to the Cassandra NoSQL community and advanced security features to modern enterprises
- New release features internal and external authentication, object permission management, transparent data encryption, data auditing, client-to-node encryption, and an enterprise-class administration interface for easy and secure database management
- Customers such as HealthCare Anytime rely on DSE to securely and effectively manage their big data analytics
DataStax, the company that powers the big data apps that transform business, today announced the early adopter program (EAP) launch of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0. The new version provides core security capabilities to the entire Cassandra community, as well as the advanced data protection that businesses expect in an enterprise-grade database. DSE 3.0 supplies the type of security framework that allows modern enterprises to confidently adopt NoSQL databases as they safely scale their big data infrastructure.
"DSE 3.0 combines the security and easy manageability that modern businesses require for their enterprise-class applications," said Robin Schumacher, vice president of products, DataStax. "Our new version features both internal and external authentication, easy object permission management, transparent data encryption, data auditing, secured client to node transport, and an improved visual administration environment that enables businesses to easily and securely deploy and manage large database clusters both on premise and in the cloud."
Security For The Community
DataStax Enterprise Edition is a complete big data platform, built on Apache Cassandra, that is architected to manage real-time, analytic, and enterprise search data all in the same database cluster. With the release of DSE 3.0, DataStax is providing security features both to the open source community and to the enterprise. For the Cassandra NoSQL community, DataStax is making the following security enhancements freely available to everyone who uses Apache Cassandra:
- Authentication based on internally controlled login accounts and passwords
- Object permission management based on the familiar relational database GRANT/REVOKE paradigm
- Client-to-node encryption, which protects data in flight from client machines to a database cluster
Security For The Enterprise
In addition to the general security features being made available to the entire Cassandra NoSQL community, DSE 3.0 supplies the following features to enterprises that require advanced security when handling mission-critical data:
- External authentication via LDAP and Kerberos, which are the most trusted external security packages in use today, especially by governments and financial institutions. External authentication allows DSE to provide single sign on capability to all Cassandra, Hadoop, and Solr nodes in a DSE cluster
- Transparent data encryption protects data at rest from theft, and from unauthorized read access at the file system level
- Data auditing enables administrators to create granular audit trails of some or all activity in a database cluster
"The addition of new security features in both Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise is indicative of the ongoing maturation of NoSQL databases in-keeping with an increasing interest from Web companies and traditional enterprises alike," said Matt Aslett, research manager, data management and analytics, 451 Research. "The full range of security features delivered in DSE 3.0 is not likely to be necessary for every project, but having authentication, encryption and auditing on the list of features will likely help open doors to adoption by mainstream users."
Streamlined, Big Data Management
DSE 3.0 also simplifies management of big data systems and supplies greater ease of use for day-to-day administration tasks. OpsCenter Enterprise 3.0, a visual browser-based solution for managing big data platforms, provides the following new features:
- Visual Enterprise provisioning simplifies and streamlines the creation and management of new clusters both on-premise and in the cloud. Users can create, configure and monitor new clusters from scratch within minutes in point-and-click fashion
- Visual restore management provides visual ways to restore a database cluster from backups. Both full restore as well as object-level restore from full backups, are supported, which enables admins to easily carry out restore operations with confidence
- Visual object management offers increased support for visually creating and managing all database objects in a DSE cluster
- Automated software update notifications keeps administrators aware of new software versions that are available from the Apache community as well as DataStax
"DSE 3.0 lets us easily manage our big data needs and gain important insights that help us serve our customers, and ultimately patients, more effectively," said Terrell Deppe, chief technology officer, HealthCare Anytime. "We are committed to protecting patient health information, and DSE's new security features greatly enhance the strength of our solutions. These features have arrived at just the right time for us because the volume and velocity of our data is bigger than ever."

Area gas stations subpoenaed
Attorney General Roy Cooper sent subpoenas to seven gasoline retailers on Monday, some of whom were reportedly charging as much as $5.49 a gallon for regular gas on Friday. Cooper said retailers will have 10 days to explain why their prices were so high. The Quik Chek stations in Troy, Oakboro and Locust were included in the first round of subpoenas.
Mary Tyler of Midland said her brother called her about the possible gas shortage Friday morning. "He called me at work and said I'd better get some gas in my car. I got to the Hess Station and had to wait 30 minutes for gas."
This story appeared courtesy of The Weekly Post, a community newspaper based in Locust covering west Stanly County.
Tennessee high school going for 65th win
Blount Today in Maryville, Tenn., is reporting Maryville High is gunning for the state's longest winning streak tomorrow against Powell High.

Builders face lack of skilled workers as economy improvesFebruary 12, 2013 @ 6:24 am (Updated: 10:07 am - 2/14/13 )
Builders are now in demand but they're up against an unexpected obstacle: They can't find enough skilled workers to hire.
Builders in the West and Southwest report many skilled workers left the field following the housing crash to find other jobs. Some of the workers who were immigrants returned back to their home countries and have not returned.
"You can't just snap a finger and bring all those people back," said Stephen Melman, director of economic services at National Association of Home Builders.
As home building rebounds, construction jobs are becoming increasingly difficult to fill. Fifty-one percent of members of the NAHB say they are worried about the supply of labor. In 2011, that measure was only 11 percent.
Construction job gains have been strong in recent months, accounting for 18 percent of the overall jobs created in the economy in January. But builders say the numbers would be much stronger if they could find more skilled workers to hire.
But with limited numbers, some builders say they are being forced to work with smaller crews, which may prolong projects. Also, some builders say they are unable to expand their business because of the difficulty in finding enough skilled workers to hire.

Hi hoping someone else has had this problem.
Had one of the machines go down first thing today, got the usual bluescreen telling you to reset. Booted up in safe mode and it hangs at mup.sys. Figured i'd just run the repair console but when i try to boot from the XP install disk it hangs at "inspecting your computers hardware" and then reboots?? Any ideas on what to do?

What more could be asked for then a weekend full of fun activities with your fellow Musmos volunteers?
The Team Building Seminar was held last August 17 to 18 first at the Ateneo De Manila Campus then at the Alpadi's Estate at Antipolo, with the theme following the enchanting world of Harry Potter. Rainy weather throughout the event meant
The seminar started off with some getting-to-know Group Dynamics and a little preparation, just in time for departure around noon. The afternoon continued with some parlor games and more Group Dynamics followed by some processing questions situated around the estate, and ended on a high note with an unprecedented GD where people had to reveal more of themselves, literally. The night then ended on a cool, somber note with more bonding activities, including a movie screening.
The morning after was spent in a more relaxed manner, with some people going for a swim while others spent their time in comfort indoors. The event ended on a high note, with an awarding of certificates based on Harry Potter characters. After the trip back home to campus, spirits were still high and a well-deserved lunch was spent in Pizza Hut.
Congratulations to the Musmos TBS Team 2013 for the awesome TBS, and thank you to everyone who attended! Until next year :)
(2013 July 27 - Despicable Me 1 Film Showing)
Whether under the wide roof of the covered courts, or inside the quiet halls of the Ateneo, we as Musmos volunteers strive to make the children smile more. On this day of less play and more quiet time with the kids, we realized how children are able to focus on certain things, too, and that despite having young minds and innocent thoughts, they are able to recognize and appreciate the morals that are hidden under given circumstances. And as always, although it is always instilled in our hearts that we do all these things for the kids—to make them happy, to make them smile—each and every area ends with us volunteers feeling the greater happiness because of the kids. So as we reply to the kids with our genuine "You're welcome" or "Walang anuman", we also say, "Thank you, mga bata!" :)
The minions are back! I know you're dying to watch Despicable Me 2! We will be selling tickets for the movie starting tomorrow! Do drop by at the Doghouse anytime for the next three weeks!

MUSMOS. See you all at the RecWeek 2013! MVP Roofdeck, June 24-28.
Org life with Musmos is as colorful as these lego blocks. Why don't you build your own adventure with our Musmos kids and our Musmawesome volunteers? Believe me, the journey will be more than memorable.
RecWeek 2013. June 24-28. MVP Roofdeck.
RecWeek is just around the corner! Musmos will definitely put meaning and color in your college life. Catch us this June 24-28 at the MVP Roofdeck. See you there! <3
I give you 10 reasons for joining our family:
10 out of ten times you look back and realize that you could have done much more.
9 lives is a luxury we don't have so we're making the most out of the
8 semesters of "magis" and "persons-for-others".
7 days in a week to live it all out and we choose the
6th day to prove that creating man wasn't such a big mistake after all, that
5 fingers are all it takes to lend a helping hand.
4 years of college will never be as fruitful and meaningful without those
3 hours in a week overflowing with riot-filled, eye-opening, heartwarming experiences within the
2 areas where a smile was, and will always be, the password; and all it takes is
1 organization: MUSMOS.
Watch out for the photos of the Open Areas! We really are thankful for all of you who shared your Saturdays with us!
Tips and tricks on leadership have been written in books, articulated by big bosses and formulated by professionals over time. Yet, one thing the project heads workshop taught me is that leadership is not learned by reading or hearing about it but by experiencing it yourself. The speakers from Ateneo Code could have just explained what team dynamics, goal-setting, initiative and accountability are; however, we understood before we knew it. How? Through the activities we went through ourselves – experience! Experience automatically brought out the leaders in us. |Nicole Patricia Nuguid, Project Head|
The Project Heads and The Team
Our awesome friends from CODE
The Challenge: Make gifts for the King's birthday!

There she was, as welcome in this insular community as fresh air in a multiplex, a woman who, rumor had it, risked being happy. Tom had heard the most about her from Russell Jacobs, his colleague in the English Department, and now he was looking at her in the flesh, at this tall, slender, dark-haired creature, oddly stylish in her ill-fitting, baggy trousers and white T-shirt.
She stood not twenty feet away from him in the new coffee room, listening attentively to one of a coterie of retired faculty members who, according to Russ, had glommed on to the Book

What better way to say 'Happy Birthday!' to your girlfriend than with an engagement ring?
Rapper Kanye West proposed to his longtime girlfriend and baby mama Kim Kardashian last night at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Kanye rented out the entire stadium for the special occasion.
Oh yeah, and she said yes!
The happy couple were surrounded by family and friends, and of course, plenty of television cameras to document every single second of the action.
Kanye and Kim welcomed baby North West on June 15th. Since then, Kim has been taking care to keep her and baby North out of the public eye; however, she is finally starting to make her reemergence.
This will be the third marriage for the 33 year old reality starlet, and the first for Kanye.
Kanye West's Yeezus tour kicks off tonight in San Jose at the SAP Center, then off to Oakland followed by Las Vegas at the MGM Grand.
The tour will wrap up in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center on December 7th. He'll be joined on the tour by controversial rapper Kendrick Lamar. On some dates he will be joined by A Tribe Called Quest, and others will be Pusha T.
This is Kanye's first solo tour in 5 years.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter is just entering her 2nd year at Grace and I couldn't be happier About her being here. My daughter thrives here. I've worked as an aid all through the year last year and was able to really be inside the classroom and acknowledge the learning path the teacher was on with the students. For the children who were above grade level and breezed through their work books; she had them start on their following years workbooks to get them even more ahead of the program. The teachers work one on one with each student as well as the teachers assistant whom is in the class at all times. Most (if not all ) of the students in her Kindergarten class last year were absolutely THRIVING and ready to begin 1st grade.. As of now, we are newly into the first few weeks of 1st grade and her teacher is very good as well.
I am a former public school teacher, having taught for 12 years, and have been very active in my children's education. I moved my two children to Grace 4 years ago from public school when my oldest was going into 4th, my youngest into 2nd. I was concerned about budget cutbacks and larger class sizes, and wanted my children to have more opportunities, like Spanish and Music instruction, as well as having them get a strong spiritual foundation. I have been very pleased with the quality of their teachers, and the level of academics. One thing Grace really is able to offer children is more life experiences. They typically go on 4-5 field trips a year, plus starting in 4th grade go away to Science camp, which has been a favorite for both of my kids. The small size of the school, makes it seem more like a family, where everyone knows and looks out for each other. The teachers really care and are using the latest technology to get children excited about learning. I sincerely question some of the bad reviews on this site, I really wonder if they were from former Grace parents. Please go see for yourself, and don't let such negativity scare you away!
I was really surprised by some of the posts on this site. This school was an amazing and a wonderful experience for my two children. We have been here since Kindergarten. My son went straight into the honors program in high school and was well prepared for the classes. When my daughter had math issues the teacher would stay after school to tutor her so that she would be confident in her studies. The administrative staff was positive and helpful and would take the time to listen to my needs and help me through any issues I had. You should visit the school yourself and don't make a decision based on the negative reviews on this site.
Very unhappy. This is a school for the average child. If your child is bright, it's a miserable place for learning. Curriculum is rigid. Teaching a child who can read the ABC's for months on end is painful. When asked for enrichment, you're handed worksheets. Instead of cherishing each child's unique gifts, they are forced in a box to be average so they don't hurt other kids feelings by being ahead. In a way it explains why bullying is a problem. It comes from the top on down to the kids.
I couldn't disagree more with the May 21 and March 17 posts. Yes, Grace has had to deal with bullying issues, but show me a school, public or private, that doesn't. Bullying is everywhere. My child's attended more elite private school and bullying was prevalent there as well. What sets Grace apart is how swiftly they react. Don't be fooled by the negative posts mentioned earlier. Grace very much cares and supports the individual and whole child. Management at Grace will work hand-in-hand with parents in giving their child/children the support they need. There isn't any other school more suited for my child. The academics are spot on and rival that of the elite private school in HB. Does Grace have all the perks of more elite schools? No, because they don't have the monetary influence either, but the academics are there. If you're looking to keep your child out of the public schools, much smaller class sizes, strong academics, then Grace is the place. It's what we parents like to call Huntingon Beach's best kept secret. As any parent should do, question what you read and research for yourself.
This is the worst management I have ever seen in the lutheran community starting from Pastor Chris all the way to the school management. Think twice before going there. I am glad my kid is moving out.
Excellent school, check it out if you are looking for a place for your children from 2 years old to 8th grade.
I disagree with the September 15 post, my two children attended Grace from preschool - 8th grade and both entered honors classes at Marina High School. My children were academically challenged by the curriculum and by the faculty and classwork was always available when they were absent. Don't believe everything you read.
My child used to attend this school but did not improve anything for math and reading. It was too easy for my child. My child changed school to other now very high level and teachers are very happy and if my child misses school, teacher prepares worksheets as a homework. Grace Lutheran teacher never done it. I do not agree that finishing the text book is okay for the child has high level ,maybe good for child that can not catch up. It is not worth to pay that much tuition for that level at Grace Lutheran.
We love Grace, please take a look at our school if you are looking for a school that looks at the whole child.
I don't think I was a parent with unrealistic expectations. At Grace we had a teacher who had minimal expectations and who gave the least amount of effort.
Love Love Love this school. Christ-centered environment teaching fruits of the spirit and other things you won't learn in public school. Varied curriculum - even for Kindergarten! Computer lab, Spanish (for all), art and music -- basically all the things public schools have done away with - Grace offers them here.
Grace school has been very cooperative with my child's learning habits. My seventh grader was more advanced in her math habits so they allowed her to transfer into algebra where due to true excellent teachers, she maintains am a in the class. This school really shows a lot of dedication to their students.
This is my children's 2nd year at Grace and we couldn't be happier. They attended public school for a few years, but we decided to move them to Grace when the class sizes started getting big. I was a public school teacher for 12 years and I've volunteered in their classrooms, both in public school and at Grace, and the kids at Grace are definitely doing more difficult projects and are following the same state curriculum as OVSD.My kids love the music and art programs and I love all of the wonderful field trips, the fact that they are learning Spanish, and most importantly that they are getting a Christ-centered education. The small class sizes (which continue in Middle School) allow for more personal attention and really help the students to develop a close bond with their teachers. Don't just read reviews, some of which may be negatively biased, but come check the school out for yourself if you are looking for your child to be more than a number.
My son has attended Grace since preschool and is now in the middle school. I cannot say enough positive things about the school. A new administrator came on board four or five years ago and the school has gotten better and better each year. I encourage everyone to look into sending their children to Grace. You can't go wrong.
My daugther is in kindergarten at Grace and we are thrilled! She is in a class of under 20 kids compared to my neighbors who go to the public school with 30 kids in a class. The love and nurturing she is getting is priceless!
I've been reading some of these reviews and I do not understand why this school still has a 4 star rating. The best staff whom are qualified to lead and be and be with the students are shut away in menial jobs while the current administration, in my case, dismissed my concerns and barley spoke to my child in three years. Academically, I really saw a decline after the youngest primary grades. My daughter had a lot of free class time while her teacher corrected the many tests (most of which I was unable to help her prep for because of poor communication with the teacher). There was not even one person in charge of chapel after they dismissed the children's pastor. Morale was low all the way around on campus and I could feel it as could my daughter and husband. bullying was NOT addressed and was a problem. :(
Grace is a safe, nurturing, challenging & Christ-centered community of learning. Our children have been enrolled at Grace for over six years & we couldn't be more thankful! We appreciate the commitment of the teaching staff, the transparency & follow through of the administrative leadership & the overall feeling of family that permeates the school. Smaller classrooms, enrichment in arts, music & athletics, wonderful field trips & inspirational chapel services--Grace has got it all! We cannot relate to the experiences or perceptions the more recent reviews on this site. Frankly we were shocked by the mean-spirited nature of the comments. Indeed, Grace has had some turnover in the last two years--but it has been change for the better and in interests of ever improving the quality of the school. Please read "between the lines" on some of these negative posts. They do not speak for the majority of families at Grace!
Run, don't walk to another school. The education is average -- when you aren't worried about who is watching and teaching your child. My child spent more time one on one with other kids parents than one on one with the teacher. The poor teachers at this school - no support at all from administration, no quality on going education. Music education was ludicrous - my child spent a lot of time laying on carpets listening (and falling asleep) while her music teacher played farmville and her classroom teacher talked to bill collectors during class. All the kids learned to dance to her ringtones. NICE for $500 a month.
Grace has changed over the years. Used to feel like an extension of church, a ministry. Now it's like a business; very transparent that they want your money. Agree with nickel and dime comment. As for education, my kids were mostly prepared to move on to higher grades but nothing out of the ordinary. And one child with mild problems couldn't get the little extra help needed despite the "resource specialist" (whatever that was!) whose position has changed. Middle school is a train wreck; teachers changing every year for the past few years. Primary grades are much better; no real complaints there. Main problem for me was bad behavior of problem students is tolerated too much. Too many non-Christian familes/students. Despite written standards and discipline system, not enforced. Felt more like public school than "Christian" school. If you're looking for strong conservative values or edge to exceed in HS, go elsewhere.

Orthodox Singers With a Dream Get Their Own American Idol-style Reality Show
You won't hear Nicki Minaj covers or nasty critiques—or female voices—on this YouTube series, but you might find a Jewish star
As for Schmeltzer, he said that he had nearly declined to appear as a judge because "I don't like judging people." He added, "Even though it's a game, if you reject someone they feel terrible and their wife is there, and their kids sometimes, and their mother and they think they sing beautiful. It's a big problem you know?" (Schmeltzer ultimately invited several contestants to his son's bar mitzvah; one attended.)
As Dr. Jeffrey Gurock, a professor of Jewish history at Yeshiva University, put it, "You couldn't be an Orthodox Simon Cowell without violating the ethics of Judaism." In a rare moment, the judges laughed after a contestant sang off-key, and the show was flooded with comments condemning their behavior. "I felt so bad," Schmeltzer said of the incident. "I want to call [the contestant] up to ask him forgiveness."
Entrants who passed the audition phase advanced to the second round, which was held at a warehouse-turned-TV studio in Park Slope. The theme was Jewish songs from the 1980s and '90s, and contestants performed in front of a live studio audience.
Others qualified for the second round through surprise auditions. Chen, who works in the diamond business, was celebrating his daughter's birthday one afternoon at a kosher ice-cream parlor in Williamsburg when out of nowhere, the judges and film crew burst inside, hurried past Chen, and ambushed an unsuspecting man nearby, mandating him to sing. When Chen's family realized what was happening, they convinced the producers to give Chen, who would occasionally sing at family events, a shot. For his impromptu tryout Chen chose a song about a high priest entering the Holiest of Holies on Yom Kippur. "[The judges] seemed to be very impressed," Chen said.
A majority of the entrants were Orthodox—including a broad spectrum of both Modern Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews—but the application process was open to all Jewish men and boys. According to Finkelman, an all-female version of A Jewish Star is "in the works."
Three episodes of A Jewish Star have been released this season, and several more are expected to air between now and a finale concert, tentatively scheduled for November. (Last year's concert was held in a theater at Brooklyn College.) The winner will be determined by the judges' decision, live audience text voting, and Internet fan balloting.
Most contestants were from the greater New York area, but some traveled from out of town and even overseas. Last year's finalists were from South Africa, Mexico, and Israel. Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor, a professor at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles and an expert on Orthodox Jews, said that the participation of Jews worldwide "shows the increasing trans-national nature" of today's Orthodox community. "I can imagine that people from around the world will tune in," Dr. Benor said. So far, Episode 1 has attracted more than 60,000 views on YouTube.
The winner of both the adults division and the youth division (age 14 and under) will receive $5,000 in cash, two plane tickets to Israel on El Al Airlines, and a promotional package that includes a music video produced by Finkelman, a single, and concert appearances.
Dr. Judah Cohen, a professor of Jewish Studies and Musicology at Indiana University, said that similar to the market-driven approach that gave rise to American Idol, the competition is one way for a "large and quite sustainable Orthodox pop music industry [to find] its new stars."
In interviews, most people involved in the contest insisted that, unlike on secular reality shows, contestants were not out for fame. "If you ask them they will tell you: It's not for the chicks, it's not for the limos, it's not for the Grammies," Finkelman said, "It's really to inspire other people."
But not all aspiring contestants are averse to self-promotion. Ever since Rosenfeld became host, he said, Jews have regularly approached him on the street in his Lower East Side neighborhood to explain why they should be on the show. Once, he said, a resident in his building cornered him in an elevator and started belting out lyrics to prove his skills. ("It was very uncomfortable," Rosenfeld said.) And when Rosenfeld recently met with his lawyer to discuss an apartment closing, what he got instead was a sales pitch.
"I wanted to talk to him about closing dates and insurance, and he didn't give a damn," Rosenfeld said. "He just wanted to tell me how great he sings."

Archie's birthday is comming! And what better way to celebrate someone's 17th birthday by going somewhere to eat and playing some bowling. Sounds fun doesn't it? But what Archie doesn't know is tha...
Chapter 4
-" Hey! I think he's waking up!"
-" No way! Atlanta! Quick! Come here!"
-" Are you sure?"
-" Ya, look! He's opening his eyes!"....
Archie's Point of View
Wow. Man have I got the biggest headache in the world right now..I feel as if a thousand Herry's just fell on me, and believe it or not, it hurts like hell! I wonder what happened...hum...let's see now..I was running with Atlanta, she won, then I tickled her, bla bla bla..WAIT! And then I didn't feel so good! Actually, I felt like hell! And then, everything went black..wich means...OH SHIT! I'M DEAD!! Oh God, Why! Why!! I must be in heaven now, and that must be God over there!! Well..I lived a pretty good life, and I-, hey, wait! God doesn't have orange hair! And God is not a female! That looks like...Theresa? And that's Jay! And that's Herry! And, that red blob!! It's Atlanta! WHOOT! I'm not dead after all! Hey! I can feel my hands again! And my legs! And...
-" Miss Hera! He woke up!!" yelled Atlanta. They all rushed next to the purple haired boy that was lying on one of Chiron's many hospital beds.
-"Wha-What happened?" he asked as he rubbed his head. Atlanta quickly hugged him, thanking the gods that he was alright. But suddenly Athena marched right in front of him, and by the looks of it, she wasn't very happy.
-" YOU! I had told you NOT to go outside! THIS is what happens when you disobey me! You're lucky I didn't turn you into a spider!!" she was yelling at a poor and confused Archie, who still had no idea what just happened. Luckily, Ares hold Athena and took her someplace to calm her down.
-" So..what happened to me?" asked Archie.
-" You were tickling me to death when suddenly you just fell to the ground. I was so scared so I called the others. Then I checked on you and saw that you were unconscious so I was panicking until Herry came and picked you up and we brought you here" explained Atlanta. Chiron came closer to Archie with some kind of spoon in his hand.
-" Open wide"
-" What-" but Chiron stuck the medicine in Archie's mouth, but he quickly spit it out.
-" YUCK! What was that?! Cat food?!" he yelled as he wiped his tongue.
-" No, it's your medicine"
-" Why do I need medicine?"
-" So you won't faint again" this time Chiron put the medicine right in his mouth and Archie was so surprised that he swallowed it, and then slowly drifted to sleep.
-"Hey, why did you-" Neil nearly yelled when Chiron covered his mouth and made him a sign to shut up.
-" Shhh, I gave him that so he would go to sleep and wouldn't bother us."
-" Ohh" responded Neil and winked at Chiron.
-" Children, I fear that because of the fact that Archie cannot drink medicine for he has never had it before, he will have less days to live than a week unless you get him that cure as fast as you can.." explained Chiron. Jay rubbed his chin.
-" How long do you think Archie could survive?"
-" Maybe about 5 days.."
-" Then we're gonna have to Sincostan tomorrow. It's the only way to save Archie."
-" Good, now then, all of you go home and rest for the evening, you will be needing your sleep for tomorrow.
And you can take Archie home. He won't bother you tonight." He answered and handed Archie to Herry. It was close to 10:30pm when they arrived home and decided to go to sleep.
They lay Archie on his bed, and then all walked to their separate rooms, except Atlanta, who wanted to sleep in Archie's room. She wore her pyjamas and lay down next to him. He looked so peaceful, yet so tortured from the inside. She kissed him on the cheek before going to sleep herself..
It was at 2:15am that Atlanta felt the bed moving and heard the sound of someone running, followed by the sound of someone banging the door. She woke up to find the other side of the bed empty.
-" But Chiron said he wouldn't wake up" she thought and walked out of bed. It was when she heard the sound of puking that she knew Archie was the one awake. She slowly opened the bathroom door and saw him kneeling down before the toilet, puking his lungs out.
-" Archie?" she asked and rubbed her eyes, as she was still trying to get used to the light.
-" Atlanta! What are you doing here?" he asked as he wiped his mouth. Atlanta walked next to him and gave him a tissue.
-" I'm here to help you."
-" Help? I don't need help Atlanta, go back to sleep.."
-" No Archie, I wanna stay with you."
-" It's ok, go to sleep, or else you wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning"
-" No, I wanna stay here." She answered simply and sat down next to him. Archie gave up trying and just continued puking.
-" So...what happened anyway? All I remember is being in Chiron's study, and the next thing I know, I'm in my bed.." he looked at her with a I-know-your-hiding-something look.
-" N-Nothing happened, we just..talked..about stuff.." she simply lied. She couldn't tell him "Oh nothing, your just gonna die in 5 days!".
-" You sure?"
-" Ofcourse" he raised and eyebrow, but just leaned back to the wall and rest his eyes for a second. She could easily know he didn't feel so good.
-" Don't worry Arch, I'm here for you, just like you've been there for me when I needed you.." she answered and rest her head on his shoulder.
They stayed for that position all night long. Sometimes, she would fall asleep but Archie would wake her so that he could puke. But in the end, they both fell asleep, hand in hand, right there, in the bathroom. And Atlanta was holding tight on his hand, hoping that he would keep his promise..
Just Rate and Review Plz!;)

He's handsome, charming, smooth. He says he loves you and wants to treat you like a princess. You've never felt anything like this before. This man has to be your soul mate. He says he feels the same way. This could be the perfect beginning of a lifelong relationship ... or a con job. Con men know exactly what to say and do to get you hooked. Mischele Lewis was recently stunned to learn her boyfriend and father of her child was actually notorious con man William Allen Jordan. Unfortunately, she didn't find this out until he had stolen thousands from her, broken her heart, and impregnated her. If you pay careful attention, you can probably figure these things out a bit sooner. Here are 6 signs you're with a con man.
Finding out that your spouse has cheated on you has to be one of the most devastating gut punches a person can experience. It doesn't matter if things were rocky already, or if the unsuspecting party had no clue there was trouble in paradise -- it's a betrayal in its most intimate form.
So you got emotionally knocked flat on your back by a confession wrought after you uncovered some suspicious texts or receipts, or maybe even a sheepish unsolicited absolution of guilt. Well now what? What is the right thing to do when infidelity enters a marriage? Will you be a shmuck if you stay? Are you throwing the baby out with the bathwater if you go?
Throw out everything you know about sexual aggression and coercion and get ready for this next bit of information to blow your mind. Nearly half of high school- and college-aged men claim to have experienced "unwanted sexual contact" from a female aggressor.
According to a study published in the American Psychological Association journal, Psychology of Men and Masculinity, a survey of 284 young men found that a whopping 18 percent reported forceful sexual coercion, 31 percent claimed to have been verbally coerced, and 26 percent said they were seduced by "sexual behaviors."
Half of the men that experienced the coercion reported that they ended up having sex against their will.
Did you know that there are certain characteristics that a woman prone to cheating will have? According to a recent survey, they are typically between the ages of 20 and 35, college educated, and work in an office job. Other telltale signs, according to Victoria Milan, an extramarital dating site for married people: they are flirtatious, intelligent, have a sense of humor, and consider themselves to be honest. I'm not sure if I buy that profile. It sounds like just about every woman I know -- and they are not all cheaters. However, after reading the stats, my curiosity was piqued. I wondered what motivates a woman in a committed relationship to cheat on her man, so I asked. Here is what they had to say:
When someone finds out that his or her spouse has been cheating, it's a huge blow to the gut. Rightfully so too -- that's an awful lot of deception, betrayal, and hurt to deal with all at once, especially if your spouse has desensitized themselves to the Terrible Thing they have done.
Quite possibly the worst part about your spouse's infidelity coming out is that all of a sudden, you're forced to deal with some pretty big issues as you decide how to move forward. Is the relationship doomed? Or is it worth trying to save? That probably depends a lot on the reasons behind the cheating.
You're spending another night at home, watching The Bachelor with your favorite fuzzy slippers and ice cream, when you hear that happy little ding. A message from your boyfriend! "Hey Snookums, hope you're having fun watching your fave show! See you tomorrow!" Aww, a message from your boyfriend. You know he's texting you from the office, where he's working late, or he'd be there jeering at Juan Pablo with you. OR IS HE? How do you know it's not ... The BroApp?
I can't go on living this lie. I cheat on my wife. Every single day.
All she wants to do when she finishes a hard slog at work is kick off her heels and watch her favorite shows with me. And so do I. But I've already seen them. So I have to pretend that I haven't.
You see, while my wife is out supporting my ass, I'm home all day. (Our daughter attends daycare three days a week.) Pretending that all this great TV is not waiting there on the DVR and Netflix works for a while. But there's only so much pretend job-hunting, pretend cleaning, and real Facebooking a man can do on an average (non) workday.
You're just friends. You love your husband. It's not like there's anything going on. It's not physical. You just get each other -- in fact you help each other understand your own spouses better!
If you've found yourself saying any of these things to yourself or anyone else, especially if they're frequently repeated, you may be smack dab in the middle of an emotional affair. Maybe you're not fully into infidelity land yet, but if you don't put a kibosh on it, that may be where you're headed.
If you want an honest answer from someone, don't wait until after lunch or -- heaven forbid -- after dinner. According to a new study, our chances of lying about anything increase and our morality takes a serious dip as the day wears on. In fact, 20 to 50 percent of people are more likely to cheat on tests in the afternoon. Researchers are blaming the fact that we simply get tired and more drained as the hours unfold.
None of this is too surprising, but one takeaway those of us in relationships can gain from this bit of news is that we should never, under any circumstances, ask our husbands or boyfriends the following 6 questions at the breakfast table -- not unless you're prepared for sheer, brutal honesty.
I'm a fan of the boyfriend tattoo. There. I admitted it. It's romantic and I don't believe it's a curse to get one. There are plenty of people out there with their loved one's name or some special design tattooed on their body that symbolizes their love for another person. If you like tattoos, it's quite romantic. And if the relationship ends, you can always get it removed or covered up.
Which is why I think cutting the tattoo off of your body with a knife is a completely insane thing to do. Isn't it? Torz Reynolds, 26, thought it was a good idea. She had a tattoo that read "Chopper's Bitch" on her arm for Stuart "Chopper" May, her former boyfriend who ending up cheating on her. I get being upset and all, but cutting your skin off is being spiteful to yourself. Chopper is just going to think she's lost her mind. And he knows all about it. Because not only did she cut it off, she mailed it to him.
