Great on my MTB

Comments about Crank Bros. Crank Brothers Power Pump Alloy Silver:
I carry one of these strapped to my mountain bike under the seat on the side. Fairly lightweight. has two settings (twist the pump bottom left or right), one for volume, the second for high pressure. I use the volume setting until I cant pump no more, then I switch to high pressure and fill my tire the rest of the way (I run 30lbs). It takes some work to pump up a tire but what would you expect? Also the pressure gauge is fantastic, but fickle, you have to pump to get a reading, and often I find it pointed in a odd direction to actually read it. This pump easily does Presta or Schrader (twist the pump head left or right).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not for roadies
By Nate
from Rockville, Md
Unfortunately, I have a couple of these. They are technically beautiful, compact, but hopeless to get to 90+psi. You just bust valve stems trying. The high pressure pump setting is dysfunctional. The old Zefal HPs- I miss em.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Why am I so worried? (on Intel) I had a 3.0.3 system that I had
upgraded to Kernel 2.0.0 via RedHat docs. Well... When I tried
to "upgrade" to RH 4.0 it complained (because I didn't have the
rpm database matching what was installed). Then when 4.0 came
up I couldn't compile anything, my libs/includes/kernel source
was fooed. At that point I just did the "install."
I have 3 other computers that I would like to "upgrade" if possible,
what should I have done in that situation?
And in the AXP case, what can I do to prevent that situation?
I really need a newer kernel so xntpd will work.

This procedure uses special breast x-rays called mammograms to locate breast tissue abnormalities. Often mammograms will detect abnormalities that cannot be felt.
After being admitted, you will be taken to the Outpatient Care Center, East Campus. When admitting paperwork is completed by the nursing staff, you will be taken to the Center for Breast Health.
At the Center for Breast Health, you will meet a doctor specially trained in mammography, a radiologist and a mammography technician who will locate the abnormality on your mammogram films. Using the mammogram as a guide, the radiologist will insert a small needle into the breast. This needle will direct a special wire to the abnormal area shown on your mammogram. Once the wire is in place, a gauze bandage will be placed over the wire on your breast and you will be transported back to the Outpatient Care Center.
Next, you will be taken into the operating room to join your surgeon. Using local anesthesia and a sedative medication to help you relax, the surgeon will remove a small area of abnormal tissue as the wire is removed from your breast. The operating room procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. After surgery, you will be transported back to the Outpatient Care Center to recover until you are ready to go home.
Follow your surgeon's instructions regarding care after the procedure. Generally these include:

On behalf of moms everywhere, I'd like to go ahead and offer up a huge round of applause to Holly Madison for proudly showing off her post-baby belly. Yes, I said her post-baby belly. As in she still has one, as in her stomach is NOT magically flat a couple of weeks after having her baby girl, Rainbow Aurora.
OMG. Is there any bigger buzz kill than seeing a celeb mom on the cover of a magazine looking all svelte and perfect right after having a baby?
The answer is no. And even though she's a former Playboy model, Holly Madison knows that.
And that's why she wanted everyone to see what she really looks like after giving birth. Of her decision to share her postpartum photo, Holly says:
I don't want the first post-pregnancy pics anyone sees of me to be miraculously skinny, either. I think it's discouraging to moms to see these "overnight" transformations without any sense of how these women got there. It's perfectly normal for a woman to walk out of the hospital after giving birth still looking a good six to seven months pregnant. Your belly only deflates a little immediately after giving birth -- you've still got a basketball sized uterus in there!
You can see I still look pregnant even though I was wearing Spanx for this shoot! I had a few awkward moments the few times I had to leave the house for appointments without the baby-people I knew would look at my belly and say "that baby just doesn't want to come out, does she?" And I'd be like "um ... I had her a few days ago" -- super awkward! But that's real life, people, so don't feel bad if you don't bounce back right away after giving birth!
Um, excuse me while I start clapping uncontrollably again.
I honestly don't know whether to jump up and down and cheer, or break down and cry over the fact that Holly's words of wisdom weren't around when I had my son seven years ago.
I distinctly remember sitting on my couch on more than one occasion, looking through the pages of a magazine featuring a new celebrity mom who was back in her skinny jeans pretty much as soon as she left the hospital. And as I glanced down at my own mushy, protruding, still pregnant looking belly, I couldn't help but feel like a total failure. I felt inferior, gross, and just plain hopeless, and I wondered where in the hell I went wrong since I hadn't bounced back as quickly as the women in those magazines.
But if I'd seen a Playboy model who still looked pregnant after giving birth? Yeah, that would've made things so much easier for me. And I probably would've been a lot less hard on myself -- and would've realized having a belly after having a baby is perfectly NORMAL.
Hopefully Holly realizes what a huge favor she's doing other moms by being open and honest about the way our bodies look right after becoming a mother. And with any luck, more celebrities will follow suit and won't hesitate to show off every their real postpartum bodies with pride. (Nah, you're right. That'll probably never happen.)
Did you still look pregnant for a while after giving birth?
Image via Splash
I adore Holly! She is keeping it real and is going to be a wonderful mother! She looks beautiful as always
Also, a lot of people wear those belly support wrap things and that can make your stomach appear to be flat just days after birth. I know someone who wore one.
Yay, Holly! I've always liked her.
I didn't look pregnant when I WAS pregnant ( I'm a bigger girl, but not so big that you wouldn't be able to tell...), because of the way my daughter was positioned. She was breech in the weirdest way. She was pretty much right up under my boobs (and yet she was ok), so pretty much I got a free temporary boob lift while I was pregnant. Wish it was a permanent one...
After having her, I didn't really look in the mirror too often. Between trying to handle everything in my day-to-day, and pure exhaustion, I wasn't interested in seeing how ragged I looked. But now, 8 months later, I can happily say I hit my pre-pregnancy weight, and still losing. I'm never gonna be a stick, but at least I'm headed towards a healthier number.
@tuffymama: Love the skin your in :) I'm sorry to hear your body went all crazy on you, but go you for losing 70 lbs. That's awesome! As long as you feel happy and healthy, roll with it. You're beautiful.
(I don't need to see a pic to say it, we're all beautiful! We just need to feel it and believe it!)
Love Holly and love this!

Redskins Fall To 1-1. Lose to St. Louis Rams 31-28
The Redskins lost to the St. Louis Rams 31-28 in a game where tensions were high. WR Joshua Morgan made a bone-headed penalty by throwing the ball at St. Louis's CB Finnegan after he caught a 7-yard pass on 3rd and 8 at the Rams 29 yard line. He was called for unsportsman like conduct and the Redskins were backed up 15 yards. Instead of 3rd and1 with at the Rams 29, it was 3rd and 16 with a little over a minute left in the game. It also hurt that Robinson dropped a long pass that was in his hands.
The defense was terrible today although they scored a TD. Other than that, they just flat out sucked today all around. They let WR Danny Amendola catch balls all over the field for 160 yards on 15 catches. Why didn't Haslett put someone in face and jam him at the line. It was ridiculous.
One thing that will be talked about is the performance of the refs in this game. They let the game get out of control and allowed late hits on the QB's and didn't call anything. This was the 2nd game today that feature high tensions from players. It happened in the Eagles/Ravens game too. Goodell needs to do something and do something quick. Games can get dirty and that's not something the NFL wants.
The Redskins suffered several injuries during the game. Carriker and Orakpo both left the game and so did CB Josh Wilson. Carriker suffered a knee injury that will need an MRI and Orakpo re-injured his shoulder. Wilson suffered a concussion.
I won't even discuss the special teams. Another blocked punt.

The Nicollet Island/East Bank neighborhood comprises Nicollet Island on the Mississippi River just east of downtown and the portion of the eastern riverbank located between Central Avenue and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad line.
The neighborhood is at the geographical and historical center of Minneapolis. The island is named for Joseph Nicollet, a scientist, geographer and mathematician born in Savoy, France. He led three expeditions through Minnesota, and authored the influential book Map of the Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi.
Hennepin Avenue East and First Avenue Northeast are two of the main roads that connect the island to the rest of Minneapolis. The island spans 47 acres, and all but two of the houses on the island date from 1864 to 1898.
The island is part of the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Zone.
Full profile coming soon. Please visit www.northeastminneapolis.com to learn more about the neighborhood. (Description from City of Minneapolis website)
For detailed demographic information, see the neighborhood profile from Minnesota Compass.
The sun is now staying out longer and temperatures are on the rise, which only means that, the dirty snow will begin to melt, the flowers will begin to bloom, and right around the corner is the biggest film event in the state of Minnesota.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton joined more than 100 demonstrators outside the main post office in Minneapolis yesterday, leading the call for federal lawmakers to strengthen – not dismantle – the U.S. Postal Service.
Jim Grube doesn't drive a snowplow, but he might wish he'd had that experience as he takes responsibility for the 11 missing street light poles on the Lowry Avenue Bridge.

Our trusses, mantles, and beams are unique and what sets each apart from our competitors is our custom made hardware. We've come up with a solution to pricey hardware, allowing our beams to uphold their realistic touch without the additional cost of heavy metal hardware.
We offer several different designs of clevos, straps, plates, and even turnbuckles for our trusses. We have several different finishes as well for our hardware which allows each piece to fit custom to the design of your home.
For existing mantles, beams, and trusses, we can create hardware to custom fit the existing piece in your home. Our hardware is sold individually, apart from our beam work.
Interested in our custom hardware? Call us today! We'd love to talk with you.
We first begin with a one on one discussion of the customer's initial vision for the home. This conversation can take place over the phone or in person, which ever best suits the customer's schedule and preference.
We then take a look at a copy of the customers' house plans. This gives us a general idea of layout and close accuracy of measurements. From there, we can decide on beam layout, size of the beams, and take the measurements of the room to come up with an initial estimate.
During this process, we like to set up an appointment with customers to discuss the distress, color, and additional components of the beams appearance. We have several different finishes and distresses to choose from. Customers can look through our online portfolio and get to see some of the distresses and finishes with physical samples of our work.
After approval of the initial estimate, we generally take physical measurements of the home (where beams are to be placed) for a more accurate estimate. After the estimate is approved, we begin build up.
Throughout the process, we like to keep in contact with our customers to insure everything runs smoothly. We want our clients to feel free of stress and to know their being taken care of. Whether the client chooses to work with us directly or through a builder, we try our best to make sure the process is simple and easy.
Green Valley BTC's design team can take your vision and create the home of your dreams. Contact us today for a free consultation and free quote!
Winter is upon us and electric bills are sky rocketing as temperatures begin to plummet. Outdoor activities are limited and we're becoming confined to the insides of our homes. Although the weather outside might be cold and bleak, your home doesn't have to be.
Create an inviting and warm space with the addition of one of our many mantle designs. These mantles are guaranteed to add depth to any fireplace and add value to the home.
Let us add warmth to your home this cold wintry season and let your fireplace be the focal point of your living room, as it should be.

Geoff Hobson reported last night that if the Bengals had stood pat at the #21 pick in the NFL Draft, the team would have still selected Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler over Stanford guard David DeCastro. Fortunately the team was able to trade down and acquire an extra third-round pick which they used to draft Clemson DT Brandon Thompson, who was projected by many analysts as a second-round pick.
Free agent QB Vince Young reportedly "looked good" at Bills tryout, though there is no deal in place yet.
Saints QB Drew Brees and the team are no closer on a new contract.
Giants G.M. Jerry Reese is being regarded as the best drafter in the league.

ASU unveils downtown Phoenix student center
PHOENIX -- Arizona State University has cut the ribbon on its new student center in downtown Phoenix.
It's called the Student Center at the Post Office and is located in the historic post office on Central Avenue and Fillmore Street.
"The student center on the downtown campus is really a big deal because we're taking the old historic post office and we're blending it in as a historic landmark into the ASU downtown campus," said university President Michael Crow.
The student union has a convenience-store area, lounge, game room, a 70-inch television, a piano and more.
Crow said there's more to come downtown for ASU. "We've got the rec center opening in August, we've got the law school starting construction in eleven months. There's a lot going on down here."

After two years spent mostly watching from the sidelines, quarterback Cody Vaz gets the start for No. 10 Oregon State this Saturday when the Beavers travel to BYU.
It will be a challenging task for Vaz, who takes over after starter Sean Mannion injured his left knee against Washington State last weekend.
Mannion had helped lead the Beavers to a 4-0 start and their highest ranking since the 2001 Fiesta Bowl season.
Vaz has appeared in only five games in his career.

Did you pounce on the iPhone 5? I did. It is my first smartphone…ever. I realize I'm late to the party, but I had my reasons and most of them had to do with money.
No disrespect to Team Android, but if you're in the market for a new smartphone, you can't help but consider the one that 5 million people want.
Unlike many who waited in long lines, my experience was pretty painless. It only took an hour at Verizon to sign away my life pay for my phone and accessories. And that was it, until I realized that wasn't it. If you're a smartphone newbie like me, you could end up spending more than you have to. Here are a few things to look out for:
Shameless upselling: Screen protectors, iPhone case, car charger, oh my! By the time you add a bunch of accessories to the cost of the phone, $199 for the 16G with a two-year contract, you could just buy the 32G version for $299. The Verizon salesman sold me a pair of $30 Skull Candy headphones even though the iPhone 5 comes with what? Headphones.
There is no way around the price of an iPhone 5, but accessories can be found much cheaper. Screen protectors can be had for $3 online instead of $15 for a pack of three. Cases run about $20 to $30, but you can get a free one for a limited time at ZooGue (you pay for shipping).
Data Plans: This is where it really gets confusing. How much you pay for service depends on your provider, your usage, if you have a family or individual account and so on. Finding someone to help you navigate this can be a challenge, so do your research before you go shopping. Consult a comparison of pros and cons across providers (along with handy coverage area maps) or go directly to your service provider for side-by-side plan comparisons.
Early-termination fees: An iPhone 5 shouldn't be an impulse buy, but even if it is, you may not lose your shirt. Service provider contracts that reduce the price of the phone come with early termination fees. But a recent report from Priceonomics showed the resale value of an iPhone beats that of an Android or BlackBerry 18 months post-purchase. An iPhone retains 53 percent of its value, the equivalent of $312 cash, so you can probably sell it online to help offset the cost of cancelling a contract.
So, that's what I learned, but I'd love to hear from you iPhone experts — what else could this iPhone newbie have done to get more iPhone 5 value for the money?

I could have written your first paragraph myself! I got one Friday and retired my 1995 version cell phone! I'm loving it so far, but still need a case. I'm looking for one today, hoping to find a cute one cheap!

I bought a pair of headphones from Groupon Goods for $12, and saw the exact same ones at the Verizon store for $50.
As far as cases and screen protectors, I buy from handhelditems.com. I don't have an iphone, though. I think they have stuff for every type of phone.

You're going to need a good protective case if you drop your phone. You should always shop online for the accessories. It's cheaper.

I used screen protectors on my iPhone 3S, but not the 4. They were $5 a Marshalls. Those kinds of discount stores are good for getting things likes protective case. I prefer the silicone ones that reduce shock should you drop your iPhone on tile. #crackedscreenproblems.

Buying ONLINE is the best way. Amazon has some the best deals. They have cases for $2 or $3.. Some are even less. I have about 10 cases that I spent about $8 on. Screen protectors (for the IPhone) are the most worthless thing on this planet. Gorilla glass is just that. Gorilla!! Head phones should be Bluetooth. Get a pair of Bluetooth head phones and you will never want to mess with wires again. Again. Amazon some low as $23 with great sound. IOS 7 and Iphone 6 with NFC and cordless chargers will cut the cord permanately for the Iphone. Even though Androids have been free for a few years. To Reallly save buy a refurbed IPhone 4S. You get everything Siri Retina new chip. The only thing missing is a longer screen. If you want a bigger screen you should really get Galaxy SIII.

So the notion that 5 million people want an iPhone 5 is the only reason I need to buy one myself? Way more than that have purchased Chryslers. Doesn't mean I'm going to buy one.
Those 5 million are part of some strange cult that can't reason with logic.

While I agree with buying online .. shop local first.
I say that because I simply cannot tell you how many 'smart phone junkies' I work with that have bought multiple cases thinking they would be great but they were not nearly as good once they saw them in person. An eye test is extremely important unless you go with some of the well established cases.
Screen protector is not neccessary. Put the extra money into a really good case.
Know yourself. I simply have a leather case with cardboard innards because I have dropped my phone maybe once in 20 years of using cell phones. But .. if you have a personal issue with dropping things, then by all means put the extra money into a really good case. While some people chang phones every time the wind blows, many people keep them 2-3 years after the original contract period. Do you want to waste another $200+ dollars on a new phone because you wanted to save $10 on a case. Bad choice.

Reverend .. the mantra is the same for other brands, just reversed. How many people bought other phones that were slower, less user friendly, and more prone to issues and OS glitches? An example would be my work buddies having to hard boot their Android phones once a week and trying to tell me I am lying when I tell them I have only hard restarted my iPhone once in 3 years (and it is the truth).
Many of those people above bought other brands simply because they refused to buy an iPhone because they hated Apple. So yes, there are fans on both sides, but don't trash people buying iPhone simply because of the numbers. The numbers are there for a reason. It is a much more stable phone, but you pay for that luxury with slightly limited app flexibility and depending on phones, some other cons.
Point blank, I upgraded to an Android about three months ago and got the 'moeny back' for my old 3gs. Within two months I was buying a used 3gs and selling my Android because it was a cheap, glitch-ridden phone.

as a long time iphone user you could not invest better if you buy the otterbox defender case for your phone it will eliminate the need or perhaps desire to opt for the insurance. it will save your screen and protect your whole phone from damage

If you buy any accessories from anywhere but eBay or other online discount stores, you're wasting money. You can normally buy at least 5 accessories for the price you can buy 1 at the phone store or the mall. Screen protectors are a waste of money, they sometimes prevent you from using the touchscreen as you would like to. The Otterbox is great if you want a bulky phone. I always buy the Apple protection plan and it is well worth the money. I have bought numerous inexpensive cases on eBay and like to have a variety of them just for the fun of it, most of them for .99 cents and free shipping and the majority of them are excellent cases. Online is the way to go.

I just bought a nice ultra slim case for my iphone 4S for $3 on ebay. Bestbuy has a very very similar case they sell in their store for $29.99. Always buy online!
Also, don't buy Apple's $30 power adapter to connect the ipphone 5 to your old devices. Wait until the knockoffs hit ebay. They will probably only be $5 if that.

Otterbox cases are too big and bulky. That defeats the purpose of having a thin, sleek iphone. I always go with a ulta thin case with a hard rubber outter surface to provide grip. Accidents happen, but just handle it with care and you will be fine.
Also, I have had every iphone since the original (with the exception of the newest iphone 5). Never had Applecare. I don't see why it's needed.

You don't need any insurance. Just treat your phone like a $700 computer, because that's what it is. You wouldn't carelessly carry around a laptop or place it somewhere it could get damaged would you?
Just remember that Apple gives you a 1 year warranty on the phone. You don't need to fill out any forms. They can pull all the info they need from your phone's serial #. The warranty doesn't cover any damage you cause by dropping it, spilling water on it, etc. I recently took my phone to the Apple store at Lenox because the volume slider wasn't working right and they gve me new phone. They may not do that in all cases but it's good that they really stand behind their products.

eBay is the best online site to buy any and all phone accessories that I have found yet and I am a phone fanatic. It is the only place I purchace mine, especially iPhone accesories and even for my Ipad. eBay has it all, screen protectors, otterboxes, etc at low costs. Hope this helps!!

Whether drivers were coming home from work, or making a long trip for the holidays, those plans came to a screeching halt Thursday night on U.S. 20 between Lena and Elizabeth.
In some spots, that 25 mile stretch was closed for more than a day. About 100 drivers were rescued between Lena and Stockton and those travelers were getting back on the road Friday, after pressing pause for the night.
"They had said that there was an accident on 20, but it was earlier so I thought it would be cleared up so I started home," Freeport resident Jackie Calam said.
"We foolishly though either we could beat the storm or that the forecasters, as they usually are, were kind of over-blowing it," Chicago resident Stephen Maier said.
Unfortunately, Calam and Maier were wrong. A rollover accident caused a backup on the highway for miles and drivers were either sacrificing gas or heat during the delay.
Soon, volunteer Lena Firefighters, the Stephenson County Sheriff's Department, and State Troopers stepped in and passengers abandoned their cars for a night spent in the Lena Fire Department building.
"Lot of them were transported in our rescue truck and private vehicles," Lena Fire Department Chief Brad Strong said. "The sheriff's department had some vehicles here, and we had vehicles, and as we picked them up, we brought them in."
Soon, even emergency vehicles couldn't reach the stranded cars in the inclement weather. Luckily, some volunteer firefighters are also members of the Lena Blackhawk Trailblazers, a snowmobile club. Rescuers on snowmobiles were able to reach passengers, pick them up, bring them to a personal vehicle, and send them on their way to the fire department.
The snowmobiles marked the final option for some stranded drivers, who sat waiting until the late evening hours.
"That was my last chance," one driver said. "Either I go now or I sit in my truck all night."
Cars were towed to the fire department for pick up.

Cysteine-conjugated ADC mimics are successfully separated based on their drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) using a Thermo Scientific™ MAbPac™ HIC-10 column. Separation of ADC mimics was optimized by adjusting temperature, solvent content, and gradient.
Aggregate removal is a pivotal process step in the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The removal of soluble, non-precipitated mAb aggregates is highly challenging due to their close physical and chemical similarity to the drug product itself. Ion exchange chromatography (IEC) has long been used as an effective means of removing process impurities from biological drug products. Cation exchange chromatography (CEX), in particular, has shown to be effective in separating mAb monomer from dimers and higher order aggregates. In this paper, the removal of mAb dimer and higher order aggregates from mAb monomer using TOYOPEARL GigaCap cation exchange resins is demonstrated.
Enhanced assurance of supply for single-use bags is based on material science, quality by design, and partnership with suppliers.
This application note shows the determination of protein molecular weight and size, together with linear quantification using the Agilent 1260 Infinity Multi-Detector Bio-SEC Solution.
A key challenge for companies developing biologics is the control of particles in the final formulation. Managing product contamination from intrinsic and extrinsic particles, and protecting patients from the associated risk, is increasingly important.
This application note demonstrates the rapid separation of a wide mass range of peptides and proteins using a reversed-phase monolithic column with both UV and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The separation is conducted on Thermo Scientific™ ProSwift™ RP-4H columns using conventional water/acetonitrile-based eluents. These simple, straightforward methods can be used to optimize chromatographic separations for analysis time, resolution, and MS detection especially for top-down proteomics.
Combined measurements of net charge and kD were made in order to understand the difference between two formulations with different stability behavior. While they have approximately the same net charge, their stability is dominated by the secondary effects of asymmetric charge distributions and hydrophobic residues.
Micro-Flow Imaging (MFI) provides accurate and sensitive detection of sub-visible particles and protein aggregates in biopharmaceuticals. Even better, MFI can classify particle populations. This application note takes you through how easy it is to develop custom particle filters to get more accurate and sensitive discrimination between the particles in your protein formulations.

Frank Vogel says everybody's talking about LeBron's defense on Danny Granger but nobody's talking Shane Battier's defense on Granger: "We put some different looks in just to try to get (Granger) freed up from LeBron but also from Battier,'' Vogel said. "That's what not nobody's really talking about. The job LeBron did on Danny, he does a great job on Danny. But sometimes LeBron is on David West and Shane Battier's been doing a great job as well. So you have to give him credit.''

Farming Eternals is the most profitable thing an engineer can do, thus from an economic standpoint, I would easily consider them a gathering profession. Obviously not from other standpoints besides economic, but that is just about the only sales-worthy thing they produce from the guns to the chopper. Believe me, I've sold maybe one gun in my entire engineering career (no choppers yet). Eternals are the big engineering economic thing.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two daughters who attend and we absolutely love the staff, curiculum. And everything about the school.
This is our first year at this school and we absolutely love it! Both my kids are excelling in every subject. This school is truly focused on developing amazing character and high level academics! The students are very respectful to staff, parents and each other. The teachers and administration are all great! When enrolling I was slightly concerned with the rating being a 6... However I now know that they strive to teach the kids and actually want them to understand the academic concepts rather than just focusing on memorizing problems in order to get high test scores. I feel as if so many schools nowadays just focus on their rating rather than the kids best interest. This school has such an incredible heart for kids! It's unique and refreshing! So glad we found this school that has such a small town "everybody knows your name" environment!
My son's teacher has been such a positive influence. I believe his teacher has helped guide our son during a crucial turning point in his life.
Imagine West Gilbert We are the grandparents of two students, one elementary, one middle school. Our other grandchildren have all matriculated thr9ough Catholic K-12--your school ranks higher in our estimation.
My daughters started this school 2 years ago and we have had such a great experience. My youngest was in the Pre-k 3 and 4 program, and it was excellent. My daughter loved school and made "best friends". Going to different centers in the valley, she never had actually liked going to "school", but she LOVED Imagine. The teachers are wonderful and she learned so much. They wanted her to be at school so they could prepare her for Kindergarten. And she is well prepared, she is already learning how to read sight words, and can write her name first and last in upper and lower case. My oldest started in Kindergarten and her teacher was phenomenal (Mrs. Push). She also loved going to school. First grade for her was a little challenging, but nothing that effected her grades or performance. We had to move due to work, and going into public school now, I can really appreciate now how great the education is at Imagine. Every school has its quirks, but for us the pros outweighed the cons. It really is like a family, its a smaller community of people, which we will miss.
I find this school to be caring and understanding of working mom's they work with you in every area pretaining to your child's learning and education. They take the time to listen to the parent and the child in all sitution. The teachers here want to teach so it makes the kids want to do good. The teacher here care about there students, worry about there students. The teacher also teach the children to respect each other and to be better citizen.
My daughter has gone to preschool here for 2 years now and she loves it. As a parent I love that she is excited to go to school and learn. She comes home every day telling every one who will listen what she learned in school and how much fun she has. All the staff and teachers we have had contact with have be helpful and caring. They all seem to love the kids and their jobs!. I have and will recommend this school to other parents.
I think this school is AMAZING! My daughter has been attending Imagine @ West Gilbert for 2 years and I am so happy we switched schools. I love the weekly communication with teachers. If I am unable to make it to any school events the teachers keep the communication open by either email or simply calling me. My daughters current teacher also offers free tutoring, which has really helped improve her test scores. I would definitely recommend this school to any family!
My son started out this year in the Pre K program and he has learned so much the teachers and staff are excellent! I love this school and can't wait for my daughter to attend!
We have been here since Pre-K...now in 3rd grade. My daughter loves the school and has always progressed year after year. We love the family atmosphere and I feel like my child is loved by the staff and nurtured through her education process.
I am severely disappointed in this 'school'. Before enrolling your child, do your homework. This institution is run like a business. Children are dollar signs,best practices are not used, teachers are not certified (ask to see updated resumes-they are legally bound to have them available to parents), and their AIMS scores are in the toilet. Don't let Imagine babysit your kids. Enroll them elsewhere for any kind of education.
My child has been attending Imagine West Gilbert for 3 years. The teachers are very thoughtful and friendly. The curriculum is right on point for my daughter's needs. One major improvement I would like to see at the school is a more effective parking and drop/off pick up situation.
Imagine offers quality education. We have been at Imagine for 5 years and love it! Every teacher that my boys have had has truly cared about them. It is very easy to communicate with the teachers and staff. Imagine is very welcoming of parent involvement. Although, they never push you or make you feel guilty if you can't volunteer. My children are honor roll students and continue to be challenged academically. Once they master a skill, they are given more advanced assignments. Learning never becomes stagnant.
We have been at Imagine for two years. The staff is wonderful. The teachers are caring and take an individualized approach to each child. I see a lot of positive reinforcement and my child has developed a love for learning as a result. The emphasis the school places on good character makes for a nice student body too. I love that my kid enjoys school and I am amazed at how much she has learned in this well rounded environment.
Before coming to this school my daughter hated school, and was stressed out all the time. Since we made the change this year she has grown immensely, and I no longer have to fight with her to go to school in the morning. Her teacher is very caring, and best of all understands that all kids are individuals and treats them as such.
I chose this school using this website and emailing the Dean of Students due to moving here from another state. The Dean was very informative and answered all my questions as well as holding a spot for my 3 children since we were a week late for the start of school. The school year is almost over and I can't say enough good things about this school. Pre-k has been lots of fun for my 4 year old and she is starting to read simple words already. My first grader has excelled academically and socially as well. She is reading chapter books and learning so much about herself and her character. My son who is in seconds grade was the one I was worried about after having a not so good first grade experience at his previous school. His teacher has been an angel who has helped him in everyway possible. She is just an awesome teacher and she helped my son set goals and achieve them, she understands his crazy behaviors that can sometimes get him in trouble and deals with them in a caring and fair way. He has made me so proud of him this year and all the things he has learned and overcome! This is because of Imagine school and his teacher, who was voted teacher of the year!
I have three children in this school and they have done great. They love their teachers and their teachers keep them challenged. I love that the school has a program that helps the students learn good character as well as helping them achieve their educational goals.
I have two daughters that attend Imagine West Gilbert. I couldn't be happier with the individualized education they are receiving. Both of my girls are doing exceptionally well and thriving due to the amazing teachers, staff and overall environment. I would, and do, recommend Imagine to anyone who is looking for a great school.
We have had our children enrolled at Imagine West Gilbert since our oldest was in pre-k 3. We love the teachers that we have had, they are dedicated to educating our children. Many parents are willing to help out and that creates a community feeling.
Imagine at West Gilbert is a very great school with high academic standards with high quality teahers and staff.

International Adoption: One Woman's Story
New Options
Lisa Hofmann of Milford, Ohio, made failed attempts at adopting four different U.S.-born babies before adopting her son, Hunter, from Korea. "We spent two years on an emotional roller coaster," Hofmann says. "I think domestic adoption agencies and attorneys need to do a better job of educating people about their options -- and the risks."
That's not to say that international adoption doesn't come with its own challenges, including a fairly hefty price. The cost varies by country, but the range is $15,000 to $30,000, which includes travel expenses. Adopting from another country also requires completing mounds of paperwork: I sometimes joke that pregnancy is a physical hassle and adoption is an administrative one. The paperwork is eventually compiled into a dossier and includes INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) forms; criminal clearances; medical certificates; letters of reference; financial statements; photos of you, your home, and your pets; and the all-important home study.
The home study incites fear and dread in many. It's a written document that's produced after a series of visits (or sometimes only one) with a social worker, who assesses your personal life, family background, family relationships, friends, habits, health, finances, education, employment, motivation, and expectations in order to determine what kind of adoptive parent you're likely to be.
"Since my husband and I were both married before, we were asked a lot of questions about our previous marriages, including why we believed they failed," says Roberta Rosenberg of Bowie, Maryland, who has a son and daughter adopted from Korea. "I didn't enjoy discussing the details. But I found the whole process was comparable to a series of prenatal exams -- uncomfortable but necessary."

Faerie Islands - Alan Lee (Faeries)
Selkie is the Orcadian word for "seal." Selkie-folk (by modern folklore) are said to be beautiful and benign creatures who are capable of appearing as seals or humans. When in their human form, selkie-men and selkie-women often possess magically seductive powers over earth-born humans. In folklore, they have used these powers to lure human beings into love affairs that often end tragically.
(*Note: In original folklore, selkie-folk are NOT benign creatures-they are dark and malicious and resemble their kin, Finfolk, much more similarly.)

The Wynyard Quarter (historically also known as the Western Reclamation, Wynyard Point, Wynyard Wharf or Tank Farm) is a reclaimed piece of land on the Waitemata Harbour at the western edge of the Auckland waterfront, New Zealand.
It is located to the north of Freemans Bay and to the west of the Viaduct Basin. Much of the area is still covered by petrol and liquid chemical storage facilities of Ports of Auckland Ltd (POAL) and various other companies, as of 2011, giving the area its "Tank Farm" moniker. However, major changes are proposed for the coming decades, with the area intended to be redeveloped into a mixed-use residential-commercial area, with a major park to run along the northern headland and up to the point. As one of the first changes, the eastern section of the Quarter, as well as one of the main west-east roads running across it, are being revitalised with new office and entertainment/restaurant areas, with several major projects finishing in time for the Rugby World Cup 2011 tournament.

Every household has a sports fan or several sports fans. Whether your sport of choice is baseball, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, hockey, volleyball, or all of the above, if you love watching sports you are definitely in good company. America quite simply absolutely loves their sports. It does not even matter whether it is an individual sport or a team sport; if it exists, it will probably be televised on some channel, and it will probably have quite the sizable base of fans among Americans. Among these, baseball is definitely one of the most popular sports of any of the others. It is on a lot of peoples' to do lists to grab those baseball hats and hit the baseball diamond to watch a game this year, because who doesn't love a great game of baseball? It is definitely America's favorite pastime, and it has been so for a very long time. From the days of the legendary home run master Babe Ruth to the time that even basketball superstar Michael Jordan spent on the diamond in the ballpark, baseball has a great and long running history. The more you know, the more you will enjoy it, so study up and go have a great time taking in a game with your friends and family.

Bill Maher's New Rule (11/11/11): Scrooged
And finally, since it's our last show before the holidays, New Rule: someone needs to explain to the Republicans that Ebenezer Scrooge is supposed to be the bad guy. And before conservatives start whining about another "War on Christmas", they must admit they hate everything about Christmas. Because brotherhood, good will toward men, and especially charity make their skin crawl.
Now this week, Michele Bachmann proposed cutting huge holes in the federal safety net, demonstrating a total misunderstanding of the concept of a net. Here's what she said.
MICHELE BACHMANN (11/7/2011): Self-reliance means if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.
Merry Christmas to you too, crazy lady. Yeah, that's the first thing I think whenever self-reliance comes up: punishment by starvation.
Honestly, who could hear that statement, and not think of Scrooge, who in A Christmas Carol, suggests that if the poor don't want to go to the workhouse, they should get on with dying as a service to population control. Now if Herman Cain said that at a Republican debate, he would get a standing ovation. And say what you want about Ebenezer Scrooge, he never shoved Bob Cratchit's head into his groin and said, "Look, you want Christmas off or not?"
(wild audience applause)
Newt Gingrich refers to Obama as the "Food Stamp President", because Obama doesn't want children to starve to death, fuckin' commie.
Mitt Romney says we should let all the people about to lose their homes, lose them. And they can just become renters. Ownership society? Meet "No pets, no waterbeds". Mitt said the same thing a few years ago when the automobile industry was tottering: "Let it die".
I find it ironic that Republicans have such disdain for the lazy, and yet their solution to every problem is "do nothing".
Their answer to wealth inequality? Do nothing.
Health care? Do nothing.
Climate change? Nothing.
Racism? Doesn't exist.
For a group of people so head over heels in love with self-reliance, they sure do recommend a lot of sitting on their ass.
If A Christmas Carol was performed by the Tea Party Dramatic Society, it would be a cautionary tale about how the hero, Scrooge, a blameless job creator, is turned into a socialist through the corrupting influence of Tiny Tim. And the play would end with a simple plaintive question from Mr. Scrooge: "Just how much of my wealth does Mr. Tim think he's entitled to?"
And that is the great Republican fallacy of this election, that our economic problems are due not to Wall Street's gambling, but because too many Americans are lazy. But there are 16 million unemployed, and we only created 80,000 jobs last month. The problem isn't laziness, it's math.
But this is where the Republican Party is now.
In favor of people dying, because they don't have health insurance.
In favor of letting people go unfed if they won't work.
And if they want to work, but are Mexicans, in favor of putting up a fence that electrocutes them.
Even Scrooge is thinking, "Look, I hate the poor, but I'm not a fucking psychopath."
But that's where this party is. It simply has no bottom. Except Marcus Bachmann, he's a bottom.
All right, that's our show!

The Xaar 1002 is the printhead that revolutionised the tile decoration industry when first introduced. Today it continues to be adopted all over the world as tile manufacturers move away from traditional tile decoration methods.
Xaar's patented TF Technology™ ink recirculation and Hybrid Side Shooter™ (HSS™) architecture together deliver the highest flow rate of ink past the back of the printhead nozzle for effective air bubble and particle removal.
No other printhead on the market has the same true ink recirculation (directly past the back of the nozzle) or high flow rate as the Xaar 1002. Therefore reliability is radically improved even in harsh industrial manufacturing environments.
The Xaar 1002 GS6 jets 6-42 picolitre drops making it ideal for the production of light tones and detailed tile designs viewed at close quarters, such as wall tiles.
The Xaar 1002 GS12 jets larger 12-84 picolitre drops, delivering even more ink for bolder tile colours and effects. Alternatively, the Xaar 1002 GS12 can give the same ink coverage as the Xaar 1002 GS6 but at double the print speed.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Guide very attentive to getting us good seats. Talk on history of papacy needs more work. Parts that are quite interesting like the Avignon Popes lacked context and drama!
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Guide was fantastic. Very very knowledgeable. Highly rate her. BUT why do they let so many people into the Sistine Chapel and then keep telling them all to shoosh! I know it's a holy place. Therefore don't let in so many people at once or expect the consequences.....
Rome, Italy
My Rating
I was very nervous, but the guide was excellent. Small woman but fierce. Loved her personality and her presentations of various places we visited. She helped to put me at ease and although I didn't lose my nerves with the Rome traffic she got me though it. I think her name was Amanda. Go Amanda!

Hard Stuff: Psyko Audio Labs Carbon review
This headset is absolutely massive. I'm talking Goliath-massive. After just two hours of using it, my neck ached as if I was wearing a military-grade Kevlar helmet. This is because the Psyko Carbon is constructed off a hard-molded, reinforced plastic frame (and consequently, it can't be folded up to save space). It's got some fabulous extras though, including a cloth-braided cable that doesn't get tangled on your desk, an external mix-amp with a bass and volume dial, and LED lights on the mix-amp that show which of the headset's speakers are currently being used. You can even pop open the sides of the ear cups via their hinged plastic covers to hear what's going on in the real world (but closing them is like hearing a door slam inside your skull). While the mic doesn't sound incredible, it's detachable, which is nice.
However, the Carbon sounds better than any headset I've ever tested. The audio is routed down from the top of the headband, and the speakers are positioned at different angles and locations inside the ear cups (as opposed to traditional headset speakers that all face your ears). The design is perfect. Echoes and thunderstorms surround you from all directions, shouts and groans from bad guys move around your head as you juke and weave through cover, while the sounds of your own gunshots and melee attacks are planted firmly in the center. The Carbon costs a fortune, but if you've got the money—and a strong neck—it's worth every nickel.
