High-def Elation LED Backdrop Sets the Scene at Abundant Living Faith Center
Installation of a large LED video wall brings an auditorium stage backdrop into a whole new realm

The Abundant Living Faith Center (ALFC) in El Paso, Texas, is a nondenominational, multicultural church with a large congregation of 30,000+ members and a spacious 3,620-seat main auditorium. The ministry sought to improve the quality of the auditorium stage's visual backdrop and recently installed a large high-definition LED video wall by Elation Professional.Design and systems integration company Michael Garrison Associates (MGA), who has a history of cooperation with the church dating back to 2004, replaced the mega-church's original center projection screen with a 6mm pixel pitch EZ6 LED screen that produces high definition video. The EZ6 video wall is 38-feet wide by 20-feet high (20 x 11 panels, 1920 x 1080 pixels) and is suspended by eight chain hoists, allowing for vertical movement when desired. After researching their options for high resolution LED video on both a technical and cost level, ALFC had several choices, according to MGA's owner, Michael Garrison. Although some of the lesser expensive products were attractive, long-term support and serviceability from a reputable company were the deciding factors. LED video options"When you purchase a sophisticated product you need to think about service on both the hardware and software side," Garrison comments, "and as a dealer we have to work with a manufacturer who is willing and able to stand behind the product. I told the church that they could save some money but that they'd be taking a risk. In the end, the church leadership decided they would have the security of not only MGA standing behind the product, but a reputable manufacturer in Elation who is based in the United States and has a reputation for taking care of their product."Technical supportMGA required support from Elation for some of the technical details, including assistance on how to rig the large screen—not only in the most cost effective way but in the safest manner, as well. "Elation also worked with us to color match with the side projection screens, and the result is great," Garrison states. "We've had wonderful support in the installation phase but also before that in the design phase."

After a brief stop in 2013, we want to invite the metal industry to the Scandinavian Metal Capital Oslo! The conference will take place at the festival hotel and also at a new venue called Kulturhuset. This really laid back bar is perfectly located between the hotel and the festival venue.
There will be speed meetings, panel debates, open demo listenings, instrument clinics and much, much more.

There will also be stands by Negative Vibe Records, Unborn Productions and Demonhood.
MØST AND IMC PROUDLY PRESENTS: SONG WRITER WORKSHOP WITH SATYRSatyricon is one of the most important and acclaimed bands within the Norwegian black metal scene. Many of their albums are considered as classics to day and are milestones in black metal history. Satyricon was the first Norwegian black metal band to join a multi-national record label, and has won several awards including the Norwegian Grammy, Alarm award and The Oslo Award. Their newest album was released yesteryear and went straight to number one on the Norwegian national album charts.Satyr tells us: "For over 20 years I have been writing albums and touring the world. It would be great if some of that experience could be useful to other song writers who wish to continue to develop as writers. We all learn from each other and I look forward to talking song writing, arrangements and sonics with you."
DRUM CLINIC WITH FROST (SATYRICON / 1349)Kjetil Haraldstad, better known only as Frost, will do a drum clinic at the festival hotel during Inferno.

The presentation will draw on a range of interviews with fans, musicians, journalists and record store owners, as well as observations at concerts and festivals from around the world. Vivek will provide a description of how black metal scene members have created a unique identity which values the individual over the group, flirts with xenophobia, engages in discourse around current political structures, thrives on blasphemy and rejects the more communal aspects of other forms of extreme metal such as death metal or thrash metal.

Man pleads guilty to raping preteen girl
A Spotsylvania man yesterday admitted that he raped a preteen girl earlier this year.
Richard Eugene Smith Jr., 38, pleaded guilty to rape in Spotsylvania Circuit Court. He faces the possibility of life in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 2.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutor Amy Harper dropped a second rape charge against Smith.
According to the evidence presented by Harper, Smith had sexual relations with the 12-year-old girl twice between June 1 and July 22.
The second incident ended when the girl's mother walked into the child's bedroom and saw Smith molesting her daughter.
The child told police that she was on the computer and Smith walked in and exposed himself.
After she told him that was "gross," Smith had sex with the child and was still exposed when the mother walked in.
Smith left the home, but deputies found him a short time later. He told police that he made a "stupid mistake" and that the child started the incident by "coming on" to him.
According to court records, Smith also went into detail about an earlier incident in which he claimed the girl came on to him while he was watching sports.
Smith told police that he gets sexually aroused when watching sports and wasn't paying much attention when the girl got on his lap.
He pushed the girl off him after about five minutes because he didn't feel right about it, according to his statements.
He also blamed the victim for the incident in which he got caught. He claimed she lured him under her Hannah Montana blanket by talking about sex as he was passing her room.
Attorney Sarah Abernathy is representing Smith, who has been in jail since his arrest.

Well, then, roll up, roll up, for there is a web demo, and separate downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux, available over on the game's official website right now. If you were lured in by Paper Sorcery's concept and distinct art style, then you'll definitely want to check that demo. It should determine whether or not it's the game you were hoping it to be and, indeed, if it's any deeper than being just a good-looking RPG.
I've had a play of that demo and have come away even more impressed by the game's many systems, tactical mix-ups and branching gameplay than the visuals ever managed.
In Paper Sorcerer, you play the eponymous rogue sorcerer after he's been banished to a prison inside a book that is able to contain him (or so they thought) and separate him from his minions that fuelled the tyranny he spread across the land. This gives reasons as to why the game's visuals are as they are, and why you start off with hardly any of your magical powers available to you. That latter point won't last for long, though.
"Paper Sorcerer is a stylish, first-person, turn-based RPG with adventure game elements."
Due to the aid of small and furry talking accomplice, you're able to escape from the prison cell you're locked in and soon start attacking the guards. I guess somewhat appropriately (given that you're inside a book), all of the events that happen outside of the battles are told to you through text. It's actually written pretty well, with descriptions that help you imagine the shocked faces of the guards that aren't illustrated within the game world itself. This is a good sign that the narrative should hopefully be compelling throughout.
Other than reading, outside of battles, you'll be spending your time exploring the stone corridors for chests and equipment that you can use to buff the sorcerer, as well as the minion/s he's summoned to help him in his bid to escape.
You may have picked up that a lot of time in Paper Sorcerer is spent in battles. They're turn-based and played from first-person, so when you cast a spell at an enemy, you'll see a hand arise and strike down with the force emitted from your fingertips. As said, you'll have summons with you, meaning that you'll have to manage a party and their equipment and try to cater to the strengths of each character in each battle too.
Attacks and defensive moves are charge-based, meaning that you have to take into account how many turns it takes for each action to burnout and try to select the move that will benefit you most at that time. For example, if you anticipate your health going down fast, then you may want to save the healing spell for a couple of turns down the line and use the spell that boosts your party's defense right now to help delay the inevitable.
There's a lot to consider with each turn, which is why battles didn't bore me too much or feel that repetitive as you're constantly having to adapt and think each turn, rather than just spamming the basic attack and winning each time, as does happen with some (boring) RPGs. It seems that UltraRunaway Games are looking to launch Paper Sorcerer some time this month on Windows, Mac and Linux, and perhaps even iPad and Android too, if not in October, certainly November.

He was never open to a lot of people to start with so I am considered to be a lucky girl for him to be close to me. Right now, he's considered to be the most important person to me. Sadly, he already has his bestfriend but I'm very happy for him. Watching him happy already makes me happy. I don't usually show how I appreciate him because I don't know how too but if I can it would take about more than a million words. I just wanna say thank you for everything friend. I'll always be your chi :)

The Truth About Weight-Loss Pills
Fat Burners continued...
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a form of citric acid. It comes from a fruit -- the Malabar tamarind -- that grows in Southeast Asia.
Debasis Bagchi, PhD, CNS, is an adjunct professor of toxicology at Creighton University School of Pharmacy in Omaha, Neb. He's also vice president of research and development at InterHealth Nutraceuticals, which makes an HCA-containing fat burner called CitriMax. Bagchi says HCA stimulates the breakdown of fat, although studies of this product have had conflicting and not very encouraging results. He and Person also say it helps suppress appetite.
Heymsfield and colleagues looked at HCA in a study funded by a commercial manufacturer. Using the commercially sold HCA products, they could not find any effect of the product. HCA manufacturers said the researchers had not used the proper forms of HCA, but Heymsfield remains unconvinced.
The Bottom Line
Fat trappers and fat burners are expensive. Most regimens cost from about $50 to several hundred dollars each month. What you get in return may not be worth the cash. While there is some scant evidence that a few of these products have a minor effect, none are the magic bullet that will allow you to lose weight while you munch chips in front of the TV.
Even the experts who like these products agree that they have to be combined with proper diet and regular exercise to work. If you've got the willpower to stay on a diet and exercise routine and have some extra cash to blow, by all means, see if one of the safer of these products will speed up your efforts to get in shape. If you're not going to stick to a diet and exercise routine, you may be better off spending your money elsewhere.
"It all basically comes down to eating a balanced, low fat diet high in complex carbohydrates and getting aerobic exercise daily," says Klauer.
What a surprise.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the Scottish MacTavish family come from? What is the Scottish MacTavish family crest and coat of arms? When did the MacTavish family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the MacTavish family history?The west coast of Scotland and the rocky Hebrides islands are the ancient home of the MacTavish family. The root of their name is the personal name Tammas, which is the Lowland Scottish form of Thomas. The Gaelic forms of the name are Mac Tamhais or Mac Thamhais, both of which mean son of Tammas.
Spelling and translation were not standardized practices until the last few centuries. Spelling variations are extremely common among early Scottish names. MacTavish has been spelled MacTavish, McTavish, MacTaffish, McTaffish and many more.
First found in Argyllshire (Gaelic erra Ghaidheal), the region of western Scotland corresponding roughly with the ancient Kingdom of Dál Riata, in the Strathclyde region of Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Argyll and Bute, where the first recorded Chief was MacGilla Tamhais whose name became anglicized as MacIltavish. A later chief, Collen, called the 'good bald Colin' of Dunardarie, son of Gillespick, was directly descended from the Tavish Corr. Although it is reasonably clear that the Clan was settled in Craignish well before 800 AD, the historical records show little of their activities or family relationships. Although many historians list this Clan as a sept of the Campbells, and others claim that a relationship to the Frasers existed, there is no good reason to suppose these relationships were the result of anything other than geographical proximity. There has also been some confusion between the MacTavishes and the MacThomas. Here also, the relationship is tenuous - the Thomsons being a separate Border Clan with its own Chief at that time. The Chief of the MacTavishes is considered to be the MacTavish of Dunardrie.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our MacTavish research. Another 527 words(38 lines of text) covering the years 1355, 1858, 1997, 1755 and 1815 are included under the topic Early MacTavish History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 65 words(5 lines of text) are included under the topic Early MacTavish Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the MacTavish family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 79 words(6 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Numerous Scottish settlers settled along the east coast of the colonies that would become the United States and Canada. Others traveled to the open country of the west. At the time of the American War of Independence, some remained in the United States, while those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The highland games and Clan societies that sprang up across North America in the 20th century have helped many Scots to recover parts of their lost traditions. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first MacTavishs to arrive in North America: Simon McTavish, who arrived in New York in 1764; Elizabeth McTavish, who came to New York in 1765; John George Mactavish, was on record in Montreal, Canada between the years 1782-1798.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Non oblitus
Motto Translation: Do Not Forget Me after Death.
A clan is a social group made up of a number of distinct branch-families that actually descended from, or accepted themselves as descendants of, a common ancestor. The word clan means simply children. The idea of the clan as a community is necessarily based around this idea of heredity and is most often ruled according to a patriarchal structure. For instance, the clan chief represented the hereditary "parent" of the entire clan. The most prominent example of this form of society is the Scottish Clan system...More

7 Day Mixtape Vol. 22 – GRAMERCY RIFFS
Originally from St. John's, Gramercy Riffs now call Toronto home for the most part. They've just come back from their first Canadian tour supporting Hey Rosetta! and also did a bunch of shows with Charlotte Cornfield as well as a NXNE showcase at this year's festival. Currently, the band is focused on writing and demoing for a new record they plan to start in the fall. We here at The Indie Machine are certainly excited for that to happen.
Recently, we asked the Riffs (Lee Hanlon to be exact) to curate the 7 Day Mixtape and he came up with a theme – thunder and lightning – specifically the thunder and lighting storms that passed over last week. Lee had this to say about the experience – "I've never seen chain lightning before, so it was pretty wild to watch. These were some of the songs I was listening to that night. It's a mini soundtrack for a hazy summer/heavy thunder summer night in Little Portugal."
Stream the mix at the bottom of the page and be sure to check out the links and write ups for all the artists – you can also check out the Riffs at the links just below.
1. SHOTGUN JIMMIE – King Of Kreuzberg
Shotgun Jimmie rules. His new album Transistor Sister is one of my favorites this year and when I heard this song on CBC, the chorus kicked me in the face.
2. CASS MCCOMBS – County Line
I listened to this song everyday for about a month. I love the production on this tune. 70′s smoothness and a sexy falsetto chorus, look out!
3. THE PASTELS – Crawl Babies
I found this song on a Creation Records compilation. I fell in love with it!
4. HARRY NILSSON – Living Without You
This is a Randy Newman tune that Harry does on 'Nilsson Sings Newman'. I really love the opening line in this song. The vocal run at the end cracks me up every time.
5. DANIEL ROMANO – Lost (For As Long As I Live)
Another of my favorite albums this year is Daniel Romano's 'Sleep Beneath The Willow'. He's a great songwriter and I can't wait to get a chance to see him.
6. COCTEAU TWINS – Heaven Or Las Vegas
I had all the Cocteau Twins records about 5 years ago and I just never listened to them. I rediscovered them in the van while touring across the country. It's pretty great night time music. They also use a lot of Major 7′s which is right up my alley.
7. GALAXIE 500 – Snowstorm
I just got a copy of 'On Fire'. What a gem! I can't believe I'm only hearing it now.

Canadian Cheque Specification Update
Updated: January 2007 from Information obtained from the Canadian Payment Association
(www.cdnpay.ca )
This page contains Frequently Asked Questions regarding changes to Canada's specifications for Cheques. All Printegra facilities are able to convert Canadian Checks to meet these new standards. Printegra has purchased scanning equipment and image qualifier software to verify that a cheque is compliant with CPA standards. By marking on your purchase order "Make Canadian CPA Compatible" we will insure that your check meets the new CPA standards.
Additional Questions: If you have additional questions please go to the Canadian Payments Association web site at www.cdnpay.ca or call the Printegra Marketing department at 800-422-6070.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why has the CPA changed the Canadian cheque specifications?
The new cheque specifications are a key part of an industry-wide plan to modernize Canada's cheque clearing system through image technology. The new specifications are designed to ensure that high-quality images can be captured from the cheques for use by financial institutions and their customers, and to make cheque processing more efficient.
When do the new specifications come into effect?
The new cheque specifications are now in effect and may be adopted for production of new cheques. Printers are encouraged to begin making the required system changes as early as possible. All Canadian business cheques should conform to the specifications as defined in Part A of the new version of Standard 006 by June 30, 2007. (Note: The original deadline of December 31, 2006 has been extended.)
How is the new image-based clearing process in Canada different from that of the United States?
In the United States, the Check 21 Act came into effect in October 2004. Under this legislation, U.S. financial institutions (FIs) are no longer required to exchange actual cheques in the clearing process, and many FIs have begun to exchange cheque images. However, the Check 21 Act does not mandate the exchange of images, so the participation of FIs is voluntary. The CPA initiative is designed as an industry-wide transition to image-based clearing, with all CPA members participating and exchanging cheque images.
In the United States, the Check 21 Act also provides for "substitute checks", which are paper copies printed from the images. These are used primarily in cases where a financial institution does not wish to receive or is not yet capable of receiving images. Under the legislation, substitute checks are the legal equivalent of the original check.
In Canada when the new image-based clearing process is introduced, all financial institutions will be participating, and the images will be the equivalent of the original cheque. Therefore, there is no need for paper "substitute cheques".
What are the main changes to cheque specifications?
Changes to Canadian cheque specifications in Standard 006, Part A include:
How do the changes affect companies that use cheques?
All cheques will require some changes.
If a business cheque in the new format fails testing, can a customer use it until the June 30, 2007 deadline?
Yes, provided that the cheques meet the requirements for the MICR line and other specifications that were in effect prior to the publication of the new "image-friendly" specifications, businesses may continue to use them until June 30, 2007. However, it is strongly recommended that revised sample cheques that meet all of the new specifications be re-submitted for testing as soon as possible, and before that date.
What will happen if some cheques do not fully comply with the new specifications by June 30, 2007?
Financial institutions will determine on a case-by-case basis whether they can accept and process such cheques on an interim basis while the business makes the necessary modifications. By making the transition to the new cheque format before June 30, 2007, businesses will avoid potential problems and be ready to reap the benefits of cheque imaging within their own organizations.
Do the new specifications have any impact on cheque security features?
The CPA's new cheque specifications will accommodate a range of features currently in use as well as new approaches that are emerging for the image environment, but the transition to image-based processing may have an impact on some security features. For example, some of the traditional paper-based security features will not be visible on cheque images; however, they may still serve to protect against counterfeiting or alteration of cheques.

It's been going on 2 months now, I got about 10 hours in all in one day and loved it, the next day I played one match of multiplayer and fucking hated it, now I have zero interest in the game, it's funny, the exact same thing happened to me with Uncharted 3, I should not play Naughty Dog multiplayer I guess.
I'm loving the game, but I have to admit, sometimes I don't want to play it simply because it makes me wait about 6-7 minutes just to load the damn game (should have bought the digital download). And on top of that, I doubly don't want to play it because Joel just turned a generator on in a basement, and enemies swarm to me and kill me within seconds. I have no idea how to get out of there.
There is a hallway with a door on the right which needs a key card. Not sure which direction that is, but I think it is the way the Bloater is coming from. I just ran to it when I had figured out where it was.
Oh, jeez, I just now realized I have a keycard. I kept looking at the keycard icon down at the bottom right and had no idea what it was. Must have missed that part. Thank you!
Ha, I remember that part.
As soon as the bloater busted through the door, I was like "NOPE!" and just legged it for the exit.
Clocked in about 18 hours as far as I recall.

Watch Donnie Darko: Donnie Darko doesn't get along too well with his family, his teachers and his classmates; but he does manage to find a sympathetic friend in Gretchen, who agrees to date him. He has a compassionate psychiatrist, who discovers hypnosis is the means to unlock hidden secrets. His other companion may not be a true ally. Donnie has a friend named Frank - a large bunny which only Donnie can see. When an engine falls off a plane and destroys his bedroom, Donnie is not there. Both the event, and Donnie's escape, seem to have been caused by supernatural events. Donnie's mental illness, if such it is, may never allow him to find out for sure.

I worked at Henry Schein full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
The Software Support Department (HSPS) is a great environment. It felt very much like a family they ALWAYS go above and beyond to make sure you feel appreciated. The best job I ever had, to bad I had to move to another state.Cons
There is the normal separation between software support and development. Sometimes things are released before enough testing and notification to support is given. Also, the great environment is probably the reason why they have such a high retention rate. But, the pay rate is very low when compared to similar positions with other companies. They start at about $11.50 per hour. This was about a $4 dollar pay cut when I started that I could never do now. But I eventually got to $18 per hour. But, that rate is limited to a small team of people, $16 to $17 per hour is very possible within 3 years if you diligently apply yourself.Advice to ManagementAdvice
If you increase the starting pay and the following pay rates by at least $1.50 to $2.00 I believe you will have a chance at an even more experienced work force and retention rate. The cost of living has dramatically increased since $11.50 was first introduced. Also, when I left I wasn't allowed to work from home unless I went back to a Tech 3 at about $4 less per hour for the same amount of work and experience. If that could be resolved for the next person in my position you will have a better chance of keeping your most experienced technicians. When you consider a tech that has made it to Tech 4 and above like myself I know they aren't easy replaceable and worth every dollar, even if they have to be managed remotely.
Outside of those two things. The company is fantastic, I saw a lot of changes and they were almost always for the better!RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Sunday School
As a Sunday School Teacher for grades 1-6 I used to fill rushed each Sunday morning trying to get to church early enough to get things set up for class. Now when materials come in for the quarter I divided the materials, student pages and teaching aids, by the week that they will be used and put them into a 13-space fan-fold organizer. I also try to prepare the memory verse cards I send with each students weekly so that they can learn the verse prior to coming to class each week. This has cut down on the weekly stress and only takes a couple of hours of dedicated time every quarter which will then allow me time to do my Bible Study each week and feel more prepared for teaching.

Healthy Recipes - Salmon, Lentils & Spinach
O this time of year is full of people talking about eating healthily, New Years resolutions and how we should all be treating our bodies better. Well you aren't going to be hearing any different from us, even with our love of pies and steak, we are 100% on a health kick and against some of our preconceptions, very much enjoying it.
We know you know, but we will tell you again - eating healthy doesn't necessarily mean boring eating. We make ours exciting by doing a jig whilst trying to slice vegetables and nothing says fun like trying not to loose a finger does it?
We joke, we make our food delicious by using flavoursome ingredients with are packed full of all the nutrients and proteins you need to do the things you like to do. Fish is full of good things, vitamins, minerals and is a major source of Omega 3 fatty acids so is being served up regularly as part of our healthy diet. This recipe of Salmon Fillets, Lentils and Spinch is simple, easy and good for you as well as really filling.
Salmon Fillet on a bed on Puy Lentils & Spinach
For 2
130g of Puy Lentils
160g Spinach
100g cherry tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
2 shallots
1 lemon (juice)
Chopped parsley
2 Salmon Fillets
Salt and Pepper
Oil for Frying
1. Put the lentil in a pan of boiling water, reduce to a simmer and leave for 20-25 minutes. 3 minutes before they are done add the spinach in to the pan.
3. Heat a pan of oil and fry the shallots and garlic until soft and golden brown. Set aside.
2. Take the salmon and coat it in oil (instead of the pan) and season with salt and pepper, depending on how thick your fillet is you fish should be fried for no more than 3 minutes on either side so it stays moist but gets lovely crispy skin (the not so healthy part if you eat it)
3. Chop the cherry tomatoes, and add to the chopped parsley, fried shallots and garlic with a squeeze of lemon juice. When the lentils and spinach are done, drain and mix together.
4. Plate the lentils and spinach and place the fish onto and garnish with a slice of lemon.
Simple and delicious.


text: Cinedigm, Dove Foundation Team for Family-Friendly Subscription Channel Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 19 Jun 2014 post a comment The entertainment industry is beginning to realize the commercial clout of family-friendly fare. This year, PG-rated dramas like Heaven Is for Real and God's Not Dead shocked industry observers with their impressive ticket sales. Animated films continue to sell well, witness recent hits like How to Train Your Dragon 2 and The LEGO Movie. And we just learned Disney is trimming its upcoming musical Into the Woods to make it more child-appropriate and box office friendly. Now, Cinedigm is teaming with the Dove Foundation for a new subscription web channel catering to families. The Dove Movie Channel streaming service will feature selections from Cinedigm's library of movies, as well as acquired content and original programming. All content released on the channel will meet the guidelines of the "Dove Seal" in order to be programmed on the service.... Cinedigm has launched documentary film channel Docurama, which is available on devices including Roku, Xbox consoles and Samsung TVs. This fall, Cinedigm plans to launch a Comic-Con-themed digital network, dubbed 'ConTV, in partnership with convention organizer Wizard World. The Dove Foundation, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., bestows a "Family Friendly" seal on entertainment it deems acceptable for kids. The nonprofit organization is dedicated to encouraging the entertainment industry to create movies that are "appropriate for family viewing."

I use the Docs PDF Chrome Viewer extension, which does essentially the same thing, except that you can also choose to save documents into Google Docs and directly download linked PDFs from a popup menu.
Some of the restrictions stuff you mentioned apply for this as well. Sites like scientific journals that have strict login requirements sometimes don't display properly but can be directly downloaded just fine.

FYI, for anyone who isn't clear on the difference, what the Google Docs viewer does is to redirect any PDF you try to access to the google docs site, where it is loaded in the google docs web-based PDF viewer.

Please, this is a wholly different approach and is in no way "essentially the same thing".

In the sense that it displays in-browser PDFs, then yes, it does the same thing, with a few clear differences. No one ever claimed they worked exactly the same way.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We have had a good overall experience with Tulip Grove so far. It will be interesting with the move to Meadowbrook to see how this year goes.
The previous reviewer who described the environment of yelling and demeaning behavior by the teachers is spot on. I found the overall environment to be a safe one for my child. But I found the quality of the education to be lacking. So disappointing! There are teachers who yell at students and talk to them in a disrespectful fashion. Too many of them are dismissive of parental concerns regarding their children's progress. They care only about the straight A or TAG students because they make the school look good. Overbearing PTA parents who look out only for their own children's interests have been allowed free range. Too much cliquish and elitist behavior exists at this school. The truly good teachers there are overshadowed by the ones who need to move on. Hopefully the new principal can improve the atmosphere there.
This school does not offer Pre-K. Otherwise, it is a very nice school and located in a nice area.
We love Tulip Grove! The teachers and, parents work together for the children. The school is bright and cheerful with smiles all around. Every morning the principal greets every child by name and gives them a high five. My child is excited about going to school every day! This school is everything any parent would want for their child! We love our school!
All that Glitters is not Gold! Bullying by staff and students is off the hook. Go to the cafeteria, or walk down the halls and just listen; you'll get an earful of demeaning words, even screaming at the top of their lungs to get their students to comply. More like a military academy than a school. All for a great bonu$$ payout for the staff, when the test scores come in. Very unfortunate because not all the teachers are bully's. Need to just mention the PE teacher is a saint !
We are very pleased with the education our children are receiving at Tulip Grove and with the positive environment in which it's being delivered. The principal, who greets the children with excitement every morning, rewards both peaceful behavior and academic achievement. The teachers are dedicated and care about the success of their students. Unlike many schools, they have an open-door policy and welcome parental involvement. Despite budget cuts, they've continued to provide consistent, quality education.
This school's reputation is highly exaggerated. This reality has only become more apparent. My biggest concern with this school is the lack of true leadership. The principal is a narcissist. He does NOT have the students OR staff's best interests in mind. He is absent from day to day activities and clueless. As tax payers, we should not be wasting our money on their paychecks, we should be investing that precious money on OUR TEACHERS. This county has been very proactive in encouraging teachers to pursue National Board Certification. However, the county is not honoring their end of the deal. Teachers must invest a lot of blood, sweat and tears, all for the benefit of this county, yet they are now crying broke unlike Google, where they VALUE their employees, treat them with respect. SHAMEFUL! Please let me clarify, when my eldest son went through this school there was an AMAZING administrational team. Dr. David Scuccimarra and Mr. Ronald Creek were exceptional leaders that were always present. They made a great team and truly supported their staff the way we as parents expect. True professionals! Sorry to have seen them move on!
This is a great school in a wonderful community. The teachers and principal do a wonderful job guiding the children. We had the opportunity to put my daughter into a TAG magnet school, but we like it so much at Tulip Grove that we have decided to keep her there. The PTA is very active and there are many opportunities for parents to be involved in their child's school experience. I feel extremely lucky to live in the Tulip Grove boundary.
Tulip Grove is a fantastic elementary school. Outstanding teachers and lots of parent involvement have fostered a wonderful learning environment for our children.
Tulip Grove is an OUTSTANDING elementary school. The educational rigor and excellent staff makes this school one of a kind. The Principal is an inspiration to academic success for all the students!! I am a very proud and thankful parent to have my daughter in attendance. Parent/Teacher in PG Co.
This school is wonderful. Everyone really seems to care about my child while he is at the school. My son had Mrs. Nay as his Kindergarten Teacher and she was great! He is excited to start First Grade very shortly and I hope that our experience this year is as wonderful as it was last year.
Duaghter has had nothing but great experiences here !!! Has been a geat school.
All three of my are going, or have gone to Tulip Grove. It has been a wonderful experience for my kids and for me.
This is a VERY GOOD School. My daughter is in 1st grade and Mrs. Lipford is a very good teacher. She does a lot of one on one's to help the kids out more. Principal (Brian) does a very good job and is wonderful hanging out and talking to the kids. I think that the PTA should have more activities during the school year and let different/new parents help as well. The after care program is OK. I daughter was in the after care program and really did not like it, so I took her out.
This is great, wonderful school. The staff is nice and great to the children.
Great school, but be prepared for a lot of home work starting in 3rd grade. Be prepared to work with your kids on how to do homework and prep for the MSA. It's great living near such a great school!
One of the best in Bowie. One of the highest test scores MSA in Reading and Math for the county. They offer an Art awareness program and music (instrumental instruction offered 4th and 5th grade) Wonderful parent invovlement!
Tulip Grove is a wonderful school, my son's first grade teacher was the best! Ms. Hawes was so encouraging and helpful. She worked with the students and the parents in any capacity to ensure success. She did a wonderful job. I wish she could stay with my son throughout the elementary school years. The principal and vic-principal were always available and the staff and other teachers always pleasant and working together. The PTA is strong and the students are learning, happy and enjoying school.
My son's in kindergarten. His teacher, Ms. Kress, is top-notch: She keeps the kids engaged and she seems to enjoy her job. The faculty pulls together as a team.
the quality of academic programs is very low there are after school activities but there is no way my child can participate because she would have to be picked up by 4:00 pm. Not even the President of the United States gets off at 4pm. A lot of children miss out because there is no money for buses but everything else is being funded. A childs education should come first.

With Cartersville coach Frank Barden and Cass coach Rick Casko now gone after a combined 29 seasons with their respective programs, a new chapter in the rivalry will begin today at Cartersville High.
"Having been here for a couple of years, I've learned to embrace the rivalry and what it means for the community," Cass first-year head coach Bobby Hughes said. "I'm sure [Cartersville head coach Joey King] is just as excited as I am for a new season to kick off with a game of this kind of rivalry that gets the community involved. It makes it that much more exciting, so we're looking forward to it."
"I'm excited for the kids. The excitement for me comes from those guys being able to go out there and play one that counts," King said of the game. "We played our scrimmage and you don't get any points from a scrimmage game. It doesn't go on your record, but this is the one that counts. This one matters. It's what we've been working for, so I'm excited for those guys to go and play one that counts and play under the lights."
The series has continued off and on over the last 58 years and the teams have played each other 45 times over that span. Cartersville won the first 21 matchups from 1956 to 1982, with Cass picking up its first victory against its crosstown rival in 1983.
The two program's most recent game came last year when Cartersville beat Cass by a score of 42-7 in each team's second game of the 2013 season.
Overall, Cartersville is 39-5 in series history against Cass and has won the last four meetings with the last loss to the Colonels coming in 2007.
The Colonels had their greatest run of success from 1994 to 1997 when they won three of four matchups with the Canes.
King believes the long history between the schools will help promote a spirited environment that will resemble a playoff game, which will prepare his team for later in the season.
"We look forward to having a big crowd turnout," King said. "It'll be a playoff atmosphere, so that's what were trying to accomplish with the first three non-region games," King said.
Despite the history, with new coaches leading each team, neither Cass nor Cartersville is too familiar with its opponent Friday night.
"You want to prepare your kids to the best of your ability, but all we have to go on is their one scrimmage," Hughes said. "We exchanged film, but with two new coaches, everything is not going to be the same."
Also contributing to the unfamiliarity is that Cartersville lost 10 senior starters off of last season's team while Cass lost 11. Cass lost five of its offensive lineman that started last season's Cartersville game and several defensive players. Nine of those 11 departed senior starters signed to college football programs. Two of those players were defensive ends Justin Reed and Montavius Parker, who put as much pressure on Cartersville quarterback Brooks Barden as any team a year ago.
Cartersville also was hit hard by graduations, including losing all-state quarterback Barden and a trio of receivers that accounted for over 1,600 receiving yards last year in T.L. Ford, Mark Quattlebaum and Gordon Gray. The Canes also lost several important pieces of their defense, including all-county members Alex Barnes, Devin Henderson and Quattlebaum.
In addition to the rivalry and seeing how young players will adapt to their new roles, the game also will provide the first real picture as to where each team stands.
Cass posted a 4-6 record and went 2-3 in Region 7A-AAAA last year. Five teams from Cass' subregion in 2013 are now in Cartersville's Region 7-AAAA. Cass is now in Class AAAAA.
"I didn't make the schedule, but we came into it and that's kind of the deal coach Barden tried to accomplish is play some big and physical teams, larger schools than us early in the season to try to give us that playoff atmosphere, and Cass will provide that playoff atmosphere," King said.
Cass is moving down a classification for the game, but Hughes is looking forward to the quality of competition that Cartersville provides.
"I know for us to build our program to where we want to be, we have to play teams like Cartersville," Hughes said.
Both coaches will agree that the rivalry is fun for the fans, but the game is mostly significant because it will help prepare each team for region play.
"We tell the kids, week in and week out, we don't try to get too hyped for one opponent," King said. "We play ourselves every week. If we take care of the ball and block and tackle and be where we're supposed to be, we feel good about our chances, but we're not going to get overhyped for one opponent and not another. We're going to take it one week at a time."
