Anyone see a reason not to purchase the Hitron? Any chance this modem will be incompatible with higher speeds? Eventually would like to switch to Teksavvy provided they get the 150/10 speeds, so would it not be a good idea to purchase this modem now in anticipation of using it elsewhere in the future?Thanks
don`t buy it not that good just rent it cause you might not be able to use it with savvy
Even though the Hitron is what Rogers sells and rents, it's not been approved for TekSavvy customers. As crazy as it seems, Rogers will NOT provision a TekSavvy customer with a modem that is not on TekSavvy's approved list! It's been the same for other modem brands too.
Does Rogers have a grab and go kit for the Hitron?
Does Rogers have a grab and go kit for the Hitron?
Service installed last night but I received a DPC-3825 modem. Receiving 150/10 speeds without issue...
The only modem that is officially allowed for both TPIA and Rogers is the SMCD3GN. It is okay, but not exactly recommended. One of the TPIAs will have to use up their single free modem approval to get either the Cisco or Hitron approved. It might happen next year, but with new models coming out all the time there are lots of other candidates.As it is, even with the SMCD3GN, Rogers is pushing firmware 184.108.40.206.2, but they require TPIA customers to be using the older 188.8.131.52. That can be dealt with, but... Rogers tries to make life as difficult as possible I think.
My advise would be to rent a modem from rogers and when you go over to teksavvy then just buy a used/refurb modem off ebay or something. They are very cheap these days. Don't buy a modem from rogers, its a rip off if I've ever seen one.

I get sleepy in moving cars. I buy organic. I do sun salutations at night. Spinning changed my life. I don't like food, I LOVE IT. I'm that friend that is "good with computers". I wish my life was a musical. Fashion is my religion. My little black and white long haired chihuahua, Penny Lane, is my baby. I will own a bakery someday. I never worry. I make the best cupcakes. Libraries make me feel warm and fuzzy. Musical Festivals are mecca. I have turned procrastination into an art. I daydream. I go out to eat at restaurants by myself. It's near impossible to regain my trust. I fight physical insecurities on a second to second basis. I'm going to escape to Paris one day. I always find good parking spots. I have no patience for fair weather friends. I live for today.

Virat Kohli is an aggressive batsman who played a key role in India's 2011 World Cup victory over Sri Lanka. With India 2 for 31, Kohli helped steady the side with a calm 35, showing he could play measured innings as well as exciting ones.
In his first 64 ODIs he has four centuries, including 107 against England in the final match of their disappointing 2011 tour.
Kohli made his Test debut against the West Indies earlier that year and was unable to master the local fast bowling. His top score of 30 came in the third and final game and he was overlooked for the Tests in England.

Some policy experts say local governments should not retain control of spectrum used for public safety communications
Wagering on Wi-Fi
From TV to Public Safety
Radio frequency spectrum available for public safety will expand in 2009 when TV broadcasts go digital. How useful that added spectrum will be depends on whether policy-makers start planning now to manage those frequencies, some spectrum policy experts say.
Jon Peha, associate director of the Center for Wireless and Broadband Networking at Carnegie Mellon University and a professor of electrical and computer engineering and public policy, said local governments have primary responsibility for public safety communications. But he said such diffusion of responsibility has led to the current patchwork of systems and standards that often hamper communications between different public safety agencies.
If the new frequency allocation — an additional 24 MHz — is to make a difference, new policies and assumptions must supersede the old ones, Peha said. "We're talking about problems that are rooted in the DNA of public safety communications systems," he said. He spoke last month in Washington, D.C., at a forum hosted by the New America Foundation.
Peha did not recommend that a specific policy be applied to the newly available spectrum. But he suggested several alternatives for policy-makers to consider. One might be establishing standards and a national architecture for government-run networks. Another would be to allow commercial wireless carriers to operate public safety networks.
The reason for rethinking policy now is to avoid a future in which the interoperability problems of the present persist, Peha said. The tradition of independent public safety fiefdoms operating their own networks can and must give way to standards-based, interoperable networks, he said.
One panelist said he did not favor having companies control public safety spectrum. Morgan O'Brien, chief executive officer of Cyren Call Communications, said local authorities should retain that control.
"If we're actually going to say to public safety [organizations] around the country that the devices operating on this network are your first line of defense when bad things happen, they must be in control," O'Brien said.
Robert LeGrande, deputy chief technology officer for the District of Columbia, said all municipalities might not be prepared for the next wave of spectrum-dependent services, such as data and video.
"Before we can talk about broadband, we have to talk about voice," he said. "That's what's out there right now."

I couldn't get this to work at all in Panther. I did, however, notice that as soon as I opened a cocoa app, (namely iPhoto), the active window would dim, and it would make iPhoto the front app.
However, if right after I click on iPhoto I click on the app I was working with, iPhoto will open in the background.
For those of us whose computers take more than a nanosecond to load iPhoto, (I'm looking at you, dual G-5ers...) then this should work...

This is the forty-fifth season of the Cincinnati Bengals and they haven't had back to back winning seasons in 30 years. Mike Brown has never done it. I never met Paul Brown, so I did a little research and found this from Wikipedia in reference to him, "His controlling personality and sharp criticisms made him unpopular with many players.[3] Brown was methodical and disciplined, and tolerated no deviation from his system."
So we know that the brilliant football mind wasn't passed to Mike, but the inability to deviate from his system was. This is why the Bengals are in this position. I don't know what this organization doesn't do that teams like Pittsburgh, New England, and Green Bay do, but whatever it was it was enough to make Carson Palmer find joy in a team that has been more poorly ran than Cincinnati has in the last 10 seasons.
Mike Brown has a young roster that everyone agrees has talent. With the most talented being AJ Green and Geno Atkins. The fear I have is those guys being "Bengalized", which is definitely a derogatory term. For whatever reason the Bengals have gotten some talented guys on this roster, and they had better figure it out before the next crew decides to jump ship.
Now the Giants are coming to town, and Cincinnati will have to play their best game in two seasons to win. This game isn't just for saving the season. This is to save the franchise, because I believe a loss will start the cycle all over again. Play with some pride.

On Wednesday, my sketch team New Money had one of our best, weirdest shows to date. It was a thousand degrees on stage at UCB, and we had run long but the audience was miserable but being supportive. This is a photo from our last sketch "Red Hat Ladies Induct A New Member" and it killed. Lauren McGuire (far right) wrote it after the two of us had spent MONTHS trying to figure out what it was.
We knew that the Red Hat Society was inherently funny.
But we didn't know why.
That's the thing; sometimes it comes so easy and the joke is obvious. But sometimes it's hunkered deep down and you've got to fucking dig it out with no clear idea where to look.
I gave up on it, but Lauren brought a draft of this into a writer's meeting and it killed. And then it killed at our read-through. And at tech. None of those are a guarantee that it will do well with an audience, which is both thrilling and frustrating. For me, I just want to solve the riddle. I want to figure out the math and know that I'm making something good and funny. All I want is to be good at it. But it just doesn't work that way. Often things that make us as a team laugh, die on stage, with almost no rhyme or reason (or sometimes, it only becomes clear WHY it didn't work after it fails).
Mary Holland (middle) killed this sketch. She is terrifyingly talented, as are all of our performers. I told Barak Hardley (far left), right before the show, "You just get better and better every show," and quickly added, "please don't get all smug about it." If you know Barak, you get that last part. Getting to watch each of them every month is such a treat.
There is nothing more rewarding than hearing people laugh at jokes you pitched in a sketch you watched develop. Creating something that is good, that I care about, with wonderful and talented people? That is such a good, good thing.

I made a SWIMSUIT!! A real actual, wearable swimsuit. This is definitely my proudest sewing moment to date. It's the Bombshell Swimsuit pattern by Closet Case Files that is just so hot right now! And its the middle of winter here in Australia right now but I had to get in on the action…
So the intimidation factor was pretty high. I fully expected to sweat and slave and maybe cry a little but it was actually a really enjoyable sew. Relaxing even. I followed the Sewalong which broke the whole thing down into neat bite sized steps and just did a bit each night. There was nothing brain-straining, even the little section where you have to work out a percentage of elastic (maths eek!) came and went without dramas.
The fabric is aaaamazing and I'm a little sorry to see it all used up now. It's a photographic print of a beach scene!

WOW! I have not tackled a swimsuit yet, but considering I live in them 5 months of the year it really is on my list… But like you said… The intimidation factor is high. I did try once, but they only have ball point needles in Nicaragua. So I am determined to buy stretch needles in the States and take them with me and try again. You did a fabulous job. This is a really nice suit and you look great!

Welcome Back, Leos!
Students arrived on the University of La Verne campus Monday toting backpacks and hot coffee, some still sleepy-eyed from months of summer relaxation and others raring to go for the first day of t...
Online Edition
At the University of La Verne's first Latino Educational Access and Development conference, students get a road map to higher education and a successful future.
The 500 or so attendees for the University of La Verne's first Latino Educational Access and Development (LEAD) conference might have expected University president Devorah Lieberman to talk in terms of GPA or even ULV. But she offered those in the audience — mostly students — a new acronym she hopes will catch on.
"I have two daughters who send text messages, and I know all about 'BFF' and 'LOL' and even 'LMAO,' " Lieberman said to her suddenly focused audience and her increasingly nervous PR staff. "But I want to give you a new one: 'NGU.' That means Never Give Up."
That was the message carried across by all speakers Thursday and through two discussion panels in the first such conference at La Verne. The university and the attending dignitaries would help to provide the access, and then it would be up to the students in the near future to be persistent in demanding their education.
"In California, Hispanics compose the largest segment of students in both two-year and four-year colleges," Lieberman said. "About two million enter college; but only four percent graduate. We need to change that. We need to move the needle to 10 percent, then 20 percent, all the way up to 100 percent."
Lieberman was the first of several speakers at Thursday's conference, which also included the Hon. David Figueroa Ortega, Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles; Assembly Member the Hon. Roger Hernandez, representing the 57th District; and University of La Verne Board of Trustees member Cecilia Martinez-Morris.
The University of La Verne is among the most culturally diverse institutions of higher learning in California and has the Hispanic Serving Institution designation. Still, Lieberman said the goal of the conference should reach well beyond the local scope.
"This gathering today is not about the University of La Verne," Lieberman said. "What we're talking about is success for our entire country. Here at La Verne, we have 8,500 students and 40 percent of them are Hispanic. We want to make sure that we have open access for this group."
Figueroa Ortega praised the university for its organization of the event.
"This conference reflects the University of La Verne's commitment to the education of the Latino population," Figueroa Ortega said. "A better path to a brighter future lies in education and it is something that empowers a community, allowing it to grow and prosper."
Hernandez, whose district encompasses many of the cities just west of La Verne, directed his comments to the students gathered, sharing some of his struggles growing up as a first-generation college student and his awakening to the impact of education.
"I saw the power of supporting students early in my career," said Hernandez, who, prior to being elected to the Assembly, was a professor of government at Rio Hondo and Citrus community colleges. "This state and this country need you to be the best that you can be. There are so many tremendous resources here, and lots of people who want you to succeed."
Just who those people willing to lend a hand are were covered in the second half of the morning conference in a panel discussion and an individual presentation about mentoring.
"All right, so I want to help you," closing speaker Dr. Gabe Veas told the young students. "I want to treat you all like my little brothers and little sisters, give you all of this information, tell you how to go about it, give you more information on my website and I'm going to give you free stuff. Now, the question is: What are you going to do with it?"
Veas talked of growing up economically and educationally disadvantaged in Los Angeles, of walking past the University of Southern California and hoping he could someday attend such a school. He said he didn't have a mentor, but has since devoted his work and his life to helping those, such as the students in the audience, to find one.
A short distance away, in the university's Ann & Steve Morgan Auditorium, Sharon Cruz-McKinney and Wendy Carrillo got right to the heart of the matter in their session: "College: Making It Happen." Cruz-McKinney is founder and director of the Master's Academy at La Verne, which is designed to educate pre-high school teens and their parents about pursuing a college education. Carrillo is a personality on a local radio station.
At every turn was the same can-do message: Education is the answer, and higher education is within reach. Pursue the dream and 'NGU.'
"College is accessible, it's attainable," Lieberman said. "I'm the 18thpresident of La Verne and the first female president in the history of this university. There were 17 before me who were all from Church of the Brethren, a Christian faith. So, you had Brethren, now Lieberman. Wow! You can be the first at anything you choose to be. Never give up."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Meme Happy to find We were looking for a birthday gift for our five year old grandson and we found the last long sleeve rash guard that would fit him. It was a beautiful medium grey color and it was perfect for him to wear during the winter. He has a short sleeve rash guard and loves it. His dad surfs and his sister is learning to boogie board, so the family does spend a fair amount of time at the beach. It was a wonderful find for is. August 27, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5�by The Diver Wrong Proportions This size 8 product was purchased for a size 4 boy. The sleeves were so tight he could barely get it on, and then the sleeves hung way below his hands. I had to return it. July 17, 2012

Recently, I received a request to share my 'Montessori Journey' via Montessori Candy which reminded me of a paper I wrote during training last summer . While the subject matter describes Montessori's concepts of the Planes of Development, I also included a section at the end about my personal experiences. Hopefully, by sharing the following ideas of progression, others will not only come to better understand the Planes of Development, but also a bit about my own 'Montessori Journey'.
Careful study and observation led Maria Montessori to identify the Planes of Development which encompass four distinct periods. This is depicted in her work titled, "The Constructive Rhythm of Life," and further supported in her later theory, "The Bulb." Montessori's ideas propose that human beings progress through a series of planes, each exhibiting a particular pattern of growth. Within each stage, the child develops through a series of progressions followed by a series of regressions. Each stage is also marked by a pinnacle, indicating the period of time when characteristics of each period are clearly exhibited by the child. Montessori likened the progression through the stages to a "series of rebirths (Absorbent Mind 3, pg.17)." Illustrating this concept is a line of four triangles each symbolizing the specific ages of the phase. Moreover, the triangles are represented as a movement towards the finality of life.

Within each stage, the child develops through a series of progressions followed by a series of regressions. Each stage is also marked by a pinnacle, indicating the period of time when characteristics of each period are clearly exhibited by the child. Montessori likened the progression through the stages to a "series of rebirths (Absorbent Mind 3, pg.17)." Illustrating this concept is a line of four triangles each symbolizing the specific ages of the phase. Moreover, the triangles are represented as a movement towards the finality of life.
Montessori elaborates in The Absorbent Mind (3, pg.17), "These phases are quite distinct from one another, and it is interesting to find that they correspond with the phases of physical growth." Montessori referred to her approach to education as an 'aid to life.' Consequently, at the center is always the development of the human personality rather than the acquisition of information. The Montessori method is therefore an educational system steeped with roots in theory and philosophy rather than direct pedagogy.
The first plane of development is from birth to six years old. It is further divided into two sub planes from birth to three, the unconscious absorbent mind, and three to six years of age, the conscious absorbent mind. This phase is characterized by rapid physical and mental growth. E.M. Standing notes in Maria Montessori Her Life and Work (6, pg.108), "There are [in this phase] definite changes forming subdivisions; but the whole period is characterized by the same type of mind. It is a mind which is quite different from that of the adult, which Montessori portrays as 'The Absorbent Mind.'" Montessori's use of this term reflects the special way in which children learn. The word 'absorbent' describes the unconscious and effortless nature of children's acquisition of knowledge. She believed that children acquire knowledge differently than adults and therefore require a specially prepared environment that correlates directly to their needs. While adults learn by filling their brains with knowledge, children naturally absorb information from their environment. Therefore, it is necessary for the child's learning experiences to be filled with enjoyable, positive associations.
In order to understand the concept and importance of the absorbent mind in totality, one has to look more closely at its origins. Montessori believed that an infant is born with an essential drive forward that urges him to act upon his natural desire to live. She refers to the term, horme, a life force energy which acts as an impulse initiating essential urges that propel human development. The word origin stems from the Greek spirit personifying energetic activity and setting oneself in forward motion. Extended from horme are the nebulae. These energies are the potentialities, including language, movement, and other sensitivities, which require essential stimulation from the environment. Due to the child's absorbent mind, he takes into him everything that surrounds him, thus becoming 'incarnate.'
To place these developmental forces into context, Montessori invokes the concept of 'Mneme' which is an unconscious formation of brain structure based on experiences. These occur during the stage of the unconscious absorbent mind and therefore cannot be remembered. It is a particular type of memory which is incarnated and taken in by the child through his environment. Consequently, the child is transformed through the effortless absorption of, "what the eyes have seen and the ears have heard," and the formation of personality has begun.
Furthermore, these recordings made by the mind are stored in the brain via engrams. They are the building blocks of knowledge and are able to be remembered. They are the conscious impressions on the mind. Engrams can be classified as mental images which are complete recordings of every detail and perception of a moment captured by the unconscious absorbent mind.
Montessori expounds in the Education for New World (3, pg.14) that the absorbent mind is "…a mental chemistry that takes place in the child, producing a chemical transformation. These impressions not only penetrate the mind of the child, they form it; they become incarnated, for the child makes his own 'mental flesh' in using the things that are in his environment. We have called this type of mind the 'absorbent mind' and it is difficult for us to conceive the magnitude of its powers." Therefore, Montessori believed the first plane of development was the most important, for it is during this stage that children form the foundation on which their lifetime of education will stand. During the First Plane of Development, a child has a unique, natural ability to learn unconsciously. The natural motivation to learn creates a certain enthusiasm within the child that if promoted, will remain a part of the individual throughout life.
The Second Plane of Development, Childhood, between the ages of six and twelve, is marked by a period of relative calm and peace within the child. While the first stage of development is marked by the child moving from unconsciousness to consciousness with the input of his surrounding environment, the Second Plane of Development is characterized by the child's yearning for an acquisition of knowledge about the universe. He has within him an insatiable desire to know which works in tandem with his steady physical growth. It is a period of "great strength and robustness of body and mind; a fact indicated by a distinct falling off in the incidence of sickness and mortality. It is a period of comparative calmness and serenity. During these years children are capable of accomplishing a great deal of mental work. It is their 'years of plenty'; and if given the right opportunity and right means, they will lay up a great store of cultural information" (Standing, 6, pg.113).
The Third Plane of Development is Adolescence, from twelve to eighteen years of age. "The first period of adolescence (12-15years) resembles the first epoch [of infancy] 0-3years, in that it is one of great transformation, both physical and mental. The advent of puberty marks the end of childhood, nature itself making it evident that a new stage of development has begun by the profound physical changes which take place (Standing, 6, pg. 116). It is a difficult time due to the rapid physical changes the individual experiences. Montessori also found that this tumultuous period is characterized by "doubts, hesitations, violent emotions, discouragement, and an unexpected decrease in intellectually capacity" (Standing, 6, pg. 116). Furthermore, this is a time when the adolescent transforms into a 'socially conscious individual and when "there should develop the most noble characteristics that would prepare a man to be social, that is to say, a sense of justice and a sense of person dignity" (Grazzini article, pg. 218). For these reasons, Montessori was a proponent of the Erdkinder method of education for secondary schooling. Erdkinder refers to a concept of "Land Children," whereby the child is given opportunities to develop his societal consciousness. Rather than focusing on the retention of facts and information, the child learns to work for the good of a collective whole.
The Fourth Plane of Development is the plane of maturity from eighteen to twenty-four years of age. This is the period of life when the individual is spiritually strong and independent and is able to develop a personal mission in life (Grazzini, pg. 119). During this phase, the series of re-births with progression through the Planes of Development has completed and the adult is ready to begin the rhythm of this development with children of his own.
Montessori stressed the idea of the human being as a unity and the progression from one Plane of Development to the next as a 'series of rebirths.' Grazzini's article explains (pg. 219), "the planes of development are…interdependent, for the human being is always a unity. An earlier plane always prepares for the one that follows, forms its basis, nurtures the energies which urge the individual towards the succeeding period of life". If the child is allowed to unfold according to his natural development and is provided with the right environment, he can reveal to us his many gifts to humanity. As Early Childhood Montessori educators, we must adhere to the guiding principle that Maria Montessori formulated in the Planes of Development, "The most important period of life is…the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed" (The Absorbent Mind, 3, pg.21).
If one reflects on the nature of the Planes of Development specifically to the development of the human, we cannot dismiss the fact that in any path one chooses in life, one must progress through similar patterns, even in adulthood. Ten years ago marked the beginning of my 'Montessori journey' through the same patterns of development. I hardly realized the impact of my introduction to the Montessori philosophy. The plane of infancy within the journey had begun and I slowly came from an unconscious realization to consciousness when it became evident that the Montessori way had become 'incarnate', and spoke to the core of my being. Following this realization, I searched for answers to my questions in a quest for knowledge – it was the Second Plane of Development within my own path. As I have answered these questions and my knowledge has grown, it is now that I wish to become a part of the greater Montessori movement. That is, I wish to become a part of the collective Montessori whole, thus exhibiting the Third Plane of Development in my personal path. While I do not know what lies ahead in the final plane, I am confident that knowledge of the Planes of Development will strengthen not only the experiences working with the children in my classroom, but also on the path of the journey within myself.

Average speed cameras for A1079 'will improve traffic flow' say road safety bosses
Posted: June 03, 2014|
By Kevin Shoesmith
FIXED average speed cameras should be installed on the busy A1079 by the end of the year.
As first reported in the Mail last October, managers at Safety Roads Humber, which comprises police and councils, hoped to install the technology by the middle of this year.
But the procurement process for the latest in speed enforcement technology, which will replace old-style "wet film", is taking longer than expected.
Ruth Gore, of Safer Road Humber, said: "The existing cameras are still up and running, so the speed limit is still being enforced.
"We expect the new cameras will be operational later this year."
East Yorkshire's first average speed cameras will be installed on routes between Dunswell roundabout and Killingwold Graves roundabout and from Bishop Burton to Shiptonthorpe.
It is thought the cameras will eliminate so-called "camera surfing", where motorists speed up once they have passed a known fixed camera site. Ms Gore insists the new generation of cameras will significantly improve traffic flow along one of the county's busiest routes, which is a mix of 60mph and 70mph zones.
She said: "We have used these cameras on routes where there have been roadworks and we found traffic flows better."
Ms Gore said it is important the partnership, which uses the new cameras in Grimsby, keeps pace with technological advancements.
She said: "The cameras we have at the minute were installed in about 2005 and are coming to the end of their life. They use old-fashioned wet film, which requires processing.
"Technology changes very fast and we have to keep up with it. If we don't change our cameras, going forward we may not have the capability to process the film.
"Once the procurement process is complete, we will be able to move very fast.
"We hope the cameras will be up later this year, but at this moment, we are unable to say exactly when."
Meanwhile, Safer Roads Humber is preparing to launch a media campaign to make people think about the impact of drink-driving.
Ms Gore said it is possible the World Cup in Brazil, which takes place between June 12 and July 13,will see a spike in people risking their lives, and those of others, by getting behind the wheel while over the legal drink-drive limit.
She said: "Motorists can expect an increased police presence during the competition.
"We know alcohol consumption massively increases with major sporting events.
"During the campaign, which will run in print and on radio, we will be asking people to think about the morning after.
"Some of the games will be screened late and we would ask people to be aware that they can still be over the legal limit when they wake up in the morning."

About Georgina Hodge
We bought 35 Calle Malaga a number of years ago for many reasons including the fact that our parents also live in the same town. This meant that we could combine holidays with seeing family which is even more special now that we have 2 young boys.
When we decided to rent our home out to holiday makers, the fact that our parents lived nearby made it an easy process for us as they look after the property on our behalf and also make sure all our holiday makers have a great time.

Bowling is probably the most complete game in Wii Sports. Tennis is brilliant but you can't play a singles match, let alone a full set, golf is only nine holes, baseball just the three innings and boxing just a bit stupid. At least in bowling you can have a full game so Brunswick Pro Bowling needs to do something pretty special to persuade you to part with £30 when you can just play a decent game for free. It doesn't.
Unbelievably, despite charging £30 for a game of bowling, it is worse than the free game that comes with the Wii and that is criminal. You can almost tell it's going to be rubbish the moment you start messing around with your character. Of course in Wii Sports you can play with your Mii but the character creation mode here is so limited it will be very difficult to find a character who looks like you. Unless you have a bowl cut or a centre parting that would have looked ridiculous in the early 1990s.
Then, when you take to the lanes, it gets even worse. If we were developing a bowling agme we'd rip the control system straight from Wii Sports but Pro Bowling over-complicates things as you are required to hold B and twist the Remote left and right to move left and right before moving your aim with the D-pad. Then when you come to bowl you have to hold the Remote upright, press B to set yourself and then swing back and forth to bowl. Or do you?
See we found that even if you pull back and leave it your bowler will take a shot anyway and no matter what you do your bowler seems to put an impossible amount of swerve on the ball. This means that if you are right-handed you have to aim far to the right to make it hit the head pin and even if it looks like the ball is going to hit it will occasionally bend at the last minute, making it really tricky when you've just got one pin to hit. Even if David Beckham had a pair of Adidas Predator mittens he wouldn't be able to bend the ball like this.
Add that to some truly abysmal animations when you get a spare, strike or gutter ball and you've got a game that's right down there with the Wii's worst.

Reasons why I might feel a little down today…
1. I'm practising in F minor which according to Christian Schubart's "Ideen zu einer Aesthetik der Tonkunst (1806)" means "Deep depression, funereal lament, groans of misery and longing for the grave."
2. I'm playing a good deal of Philip Glass who, according to director Errol Morris, "creates a feeling of existential dread better than anyone else I know of". Argh.
3. It's a slightly grey day but a little humid and not properly, deliciously cold so… meh.

Retirements by staff members at Clermont Northeastern schools may eliminate the need to lay off any teachers.
Superintendent Neil Leist said four teachers have submitted letters of retirement and two other teachers are considering retiring. The retiring teachers would not be replaced.
The CNE school board is considering a number of cuts, including reductions in force (RIF), to balance the budget. The board is scheduled to vote on the cuts at 6 p.m. Monday, March 21, at the middle school, 2792 U.S. 50.
Leist said he has notified at least five teachers who may involuntarily lose their jobs.
However, if six teachers decide to retire, it may not be necessary to lay off any teachers.
"When the dust settles, we may not have to RIF anyone," he said.
Leist would not name any of the teachers who might retire or be let go, because it won't be official until the night of the meeting.
"I'm not putting pressure on teachers to retire. That's their decision," he said.
In addition to the possible teacher cuts, three administrative positions and two custodial positions are being eliminated, Leist said.
Athletic director Charlie Tackett is retiring at the end of the year. He will not be replaced and his duties will be assumed by the assistant principals at each school.
A part-time position of assistant athletic director also will not be filled.
Another administrator, Tim Stanford, who handles special education, is retiring. His duties will be handled by Assistant Superintendent Wayne Johnson.
Two custodial positions will not be filled. One custodian is retiring and another was let go in February.
Treasurer Brian Switzer said in addition to staff cuts, school officials are looking at service cuts, fee increases and the sale of assets to help balance the budget.

They are pricey but the flowers are amazingly beautiful and fresh! Worth every dollar. I wondered every day until the weddingif I was paying too much, then I saw the flowers. So happy! So beautiful. Kevin was amazing to work with. They saw when I really liked something and did everything to create the vision. They were super responsive and great to work with. If it is in your budget, do it! (i found ways to cut costs a little so I could use them)

I definitely don't recommend Petals by Xavi. The service they promise to do is not true. When we first meet with them they said they would do everything how we wanted and they would be there to refresh our flowers and fix them if anything went wrong. I didn't see them at all. My bouquet look messy and it didn't look organize. My bouquet was not suppose to be round but texture. They ended up giving me a round bouquet. The flowers were suppose to blend colors and it was just everywhere. I was suppose to have green hydrangea and they gave me some other flower and it was white. You couldn't see them in my bouquet, they had but them under the rest of the flowers. As for my Lasso i had ask them to remove the center of the lasso and to add roses there. They didn't remove it. they left it there. I felt that they were not organize and they wouldn't communicate with each other. I kept getting ask where and time i was getting married. I had told them all the info since the they i hired them. Two days before my wedding they were still questioning of where i was getting married. It was just irritating asking those questions after everything was written. As for my cake they just left the flowers there and didn't decorate my cake. I was suppose to have a cake topper and i didn't get one. The flowers were suppose to be pink roses and they left red roses. I am not satisfy with their work even though i like my center piece.

I am so happy we went with Petals by Xavi. We originally went to them just for flowers, but ended up using them for coordination the last 2 months before the wedding. Xavi is who we worked first, and I thought she was very knowledgeable and helped greatly in creating our vision. At first, the prices gave us a little sticker shock, but rest assured that you WILL get your money's worth and then some. A guest at our wedding actually estimated that our centerpieces cost double what we paid for them! I currently have flowers all over my house because they were just too darn beautiful to part with. The roses were seriously the biggest roses my husband and I have ever seen. When it was time for coordination to begin, Megan was assigned to work with us. I had a feeling this girl was going to be good from the first meeting, and let me say that she did not disappoint! I was an OCD bride so I had quite a bit done by the time she came on, but I tried to keep her as busy as I could since she was constantly asking if there was anything else she could do to help. She did the dirty work of dealing with my other vendors that were slacking so I didn't have to. I felt comfortable with giving up control after 11 months of doing every single myself. The day of the wedding, Megan and the PBX team gave us the most unbelievably gorgeous ceremony set-up, and everything they did for the reception was fantastic as well. Megan was constantly checking up on me all day and I just know she worked her butt off from start to finish. So thank you times a million to the PBX crew!!!

Petals by Xavi is a true talent! Our peronal floral coordinator was Angie Florence, and she was amazing! She maintained constant communication for all of our wedding needs, and was very receptive to any new ideas for our floral decor. Additionally, she had no problem in meeting with us on various occassions to review ideas, timelines or budget. Angie was very punctual on our wedding day, and her team arrived ready for set up! They were so efficient, that they actually completed the floral arrangements early, and Angie even extended her services to helping with other details of our wedding. We and our guests were truly pleased with the beautful floral decor, created by Petals by Xavi!

The 1 thing I always wanted to go above my budget on was my flower, and I did. I paid over 3000.00 for my florals and was so disapointed. The quality of each flower selected lacked big time. They were late dropping off my personal flowers which lead to my grandmothers not having their corsages until reception. The centerpieces were dull looking. The altar pieces were not as requestd or billed for on invoice nor was the reception guest book table floral. Very unsatisfied for how much money we spent. By the looks of all their magazine and prior weddings, I feel as tho I was misled and received false advertisment!

I worked with Angie from Petals...who is unfortunately no longer there.
I met with Angie in Jan, right after we got engaged. I had no idea what I was doing when it came to flowers, only that I really liked the idea of succulents. Our first appointment of many, she spent 2+ hours with me, showing me photos, magazines, previous wedding arrangements at a Starbucks, she was so kind to meet me at.
Because I was so clueless, Angie & Xavi herself, sat down with me at the studio & really broke it down for me, drawing me examples & even put together a sample before I had even booked them. They walked me through the studio & introduced me to the team, showed me different cases, hurricanes & ideas of what to do.
They went above and beyond every time I met with them, I really felt comfortable. I would change things on a monthly basis due to budget & they were so nice about having to change all the work they put in. Two weeks before I came into a little extra cash...and I knew exactly where to spend it!
Our ceremony site was absolutely breath taking. It was more then I could've imagined. All those pictures & drawings really exceeded what I thought it could look like. And our centerpieces...wow!! They even went as far as to bring a few extras like tall hurricanes, more succulents, votives...
I can't thank them enough for being so patient with all our changes & all the time we spent on figuring it all out. I felt like Angie wasn't just a vendor, but now my friend...so much so, we're Facebook friends.
They all worked so hard...thank you petals team!!

Thank you Petals by Xavi. My daughters wedding was so beautiful. The flowers you provided were beyond our expectation. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the flowers and color combination were. We were also very pleased with Angie your wedding coordinator. We requested a coordinator for the day only. Angie went above and beyond her services. If anything went wrong during the wedding, we were no aware of it until days later when family brought it up. She was amazing. We will definitiely recommend your company to all our family and friends. Thank you again for making this day so amazing for us.

Flowers were the last thing on our list when it came to the wedding, but this company delivered the perfect flowers for my big day. Since we only needed bouquets and flowers for the guys our price was cheaper than most and we had to pick up the flowers ourselves. However, the quality alone made up for us having to pick them up. They were truly the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen and it completely matched our theme. I would recommend this company to friends just for the quality alone.

Xavi was not only my florist but also my wedding planner. My wedding was yesterday (9/17/2011) and it was everything I dreamed of and more.
Leading up to the wedding Xavi was attentive and always looking for something to do FOR us. She was always thinking of things to make the wedding MORE beautiful for us. She would meet with us at the drop of a hat, she responded to my emails within hours ALWAYS (even when she was on vacation!!!!), and drove HOURS to view my venue ahead of time.
ON the day of my wedding, not only did Xavi provide the flowers that were promised, but it seemed like there were MORE flowers. The team really outdid themselves. People were RAVING over our arch, centerpieces, and bouqets. As a wedding coordinator, Xavi somehow managed to be EVERYWHERE at once. IT was almost as if she read my mind...everytime I needed something she would show up in front of me before I even called her name. She made sure we got to eat and greet all our guests and never had to deal with a single issue. If anything went wrong on my wedding day, I was blissfully unaware because Xavi took care of everything.
I will be reccomending Petals by Xavi's STUNNING work to everyone I meet who is getting married. They were amazing and I will never be able to thank them enough for making it the perfect day <3

My daughter, Jennifer, and I had the pleasure of working together with Xavi as we planned for Jen and Roman's July 16, 2011 wedding at Coyote Hills Golf Club in Fullerton. Xavi was both our wedding coordinator and florist, and she and her team executed a fabulous event. The flowers and decor were lavish and lovely, and so many guests and friends commented on just how beautiful and gorgeous they were. Xavi's attention to detail was also great! As the mother of the bride, I truly enjoyed every aspect of Jen and Roman's wedding day because Xavi was there to handle everything! Her assistant, Sam, pampered the entire wedding party, checking on their needs the whole entire day! From our planning meetings early on, to the phone calls and follow up emails, and finally to the day of the event, I feel my daughter had the wedding of her dreams. I would recommend Xavi and her team in a heartbeat!
