Randy Brooks Interview
Hunting Illustrated – April/May Issue 2005
Corporate Interview:
Barnes Bullets
By: Travis Osmond
Randy C. Brooks – President/Owner Barnes Bullets
Randy, will you tell us a little bit about how you and your wife Coni became so involved in the bullet business?
Barnes is the oldest bullet component manufacturer in the United States. Back in the early 1970′s, Coni and I were living in Grand Junction, Colorado milking cows full-time at a dairy while running a little gun trading business on the side. While there, I got to know Fred Barnes who was the originator of Barnes Bullets and had since sold the company. I hung around him a little bit and got to know more about the bullet business. Coni and I moved to New Mexico where I built saddles and got into team roping quite a bit. We eventually moved back to Colorado and found that the Barnes Bullet Company was for sale. In 1974, Coni and I bought the company which was then located in Montrose, Colorado and relocated it to American Fork, Utah. We paid $35,000 for the company which, looking back, was about $25,000 too much. At that time, the business had digressed to a two-man hobby shop. It went from having 125 employees during the 1950′s to having two retired gentlemen running it as a hobby when we bought it. Our gross sales our first year were only $12,000.
How did you turn Barnes Bullets into the business it is today?
Well, I guess I'm just not smart enough to know when I'm down. We just kept plugging along. Coni has been a great help because she is such a taskmaster. We got our first employee in 1975. We were living at that time in the top of a 580 square foot home with the business in the basement. In 1976, we built a 1000 square foot shop out back. In 1983, we built another 4000 square foot shop and in 1996, we decided to move to our present location in American Fork, Utah which is a 40,000 square foot facility. Presently, we are looking to relocate a little further south of here to a 100,000 square foot facility.
Did you know a lot about bullets and ammunition before you bought the company?
In Grand Junction, I had a custom reloading business on the side while I was milking cows and did quite a bit of gun trading. I've always been interested in hunting bullets and their performance because I'm a hunter. But, to say that I had any kind of background that would support anything like what we are doing here would be a little far-reaching. I look back at those days and I realize that I didn't have a core knowledge of basic business or the bullet industry which are vital to run a business these days. I just think that God was smiling on us or something because we really didn't have the knowledge to do what we are doing today. Coni and I are hard workers and we get things done. We have also surrounded ourselves with some tremendous people.
With all the bullet manufacturers that are out there right now, what makes Barnes different from the others?
The really cool thing that we have over everybody else is that we are deep enough in our aerospace tool room, that we are able to make some really cool products. What I am always excited about is that I've still got that fire in my belly that makes me want to be the best and to make the best products available. The other bullet manufacturers out there are largely driven by their book-keepers. Here, we are driven with emotion. Our business might be better off sometimes if I did run it with a pencil but if we see an improvement needed, we go ahead and make it. This mentality has kept us out in front of everybody else. Many of the top bullet manufacturers have not had a significant change in bullet design in over 40 years. We have significant changes almost every year. We have a lead-free product here that not only plugs a hole for the environmental issues we have to deal with, but also performs on game better then the lead-core counterparts. Everyone else is still working with lead cores and we are way beyond that. Here at Barnes, we are always thinking of new things while everyone else is playing catch-up to us. We see people knocking off our muzzleloader bullets and our other products all the time. However, by the time they get us knocked off, we are already to another level. We are innovators where other companies are not. We are in the middle of forming a strategic alliance with Federal Cartridge Company. We will be partners with the Federal Cartridge Company, not only in their premium ammunition and shotgun slugs, but in their military ammunition. We are really excited with what is happening around here and proud of what we are doing.
Can you tell us about some of the first products you were working on when you started and bring us up to date with some of the new products you are offering now?
I got a two week crash course from the people we bought the company from. I really felt that I had this thing dumped in my lap and boy, it was a mess. At the time, Barnes made pretty good bullets. They were heavily jacketed and were well known for their penetrating value. I did, however, see that there were many improvements that needed to be made. I immediately designed a solid that would not bend or come apart. In 1979, I came up with a solid bullet that didn't have any lead in it. In 1984, I started thinking of an expanding bullet that didn't contain any lead, and that is how I came up with our X-bullet. In 1986, I came up with the prototype which is well-patented. The X-bullet we make today far exceeds the performance level of the bullet we made in the 80′s.
We had a significant discovery a few years back. We came up with a coating that is similar to the Moly coating on the market today but that does not cause the fouling that the Moly does. We went to the auto racing industry which deals with internal heat and speed and got some great ideas from those guys. From that, we developed our own coating which no one has been able to knock off. Our coating does not layer like Moly does; even if you don't clean your barrel. We got a 200 foot-per-second increase with less pressure.
We came up with our new Triple-Shock X-bullet by cutting some annular grooves in the bullet. There is no fouling, you get the same advantages as with a coated bullet and the real advantage of this bullet is that it is bench rest accurate. We currently have several people competing in several tournaments with our new Barnes Triple-Shock bullets. If we can win a major bench-rest competition with a hunting bullet, it will be awesome! We just keep trying to make our products better.
What type of hunter/shooter do you cater too?
We cater mostly to the whitetail deer hunter. The reason for this is that there are more whitetail deer taken every year than any other big game species in the United States. Now, do we cater to the mule deer and elk hunters?…Absolutely!! When we first bought the company, Barnes was known for its African game, heavy-penetrating bullets. I knew I had to create a bullet that the average hunter could use and that worked well for whitetail deer. So I guess to answer your question, we really cater to everybody that hunts any animal, world-wide, period. We cover every niche. There isn't one game animal that you couldn't shoot a Barnes bullet at and take-out cleanly and efficiently.
What is your dream hunt?
I have been very fortunate to have been able to hunt everything that I've ever wanted to. My favorite hunts are for cow elephant and the big bears. Coni and I usually go together and we use our .500 Nitro or my .505. Now, even though I like that exotic and dangerous game hunting, I can't tell you how much I appreciate and love to hunt mule deer and elk. I've got these species right here in my back yard and it doesn't get any better than that.

Israel Expected To Choose T-6A Texan as Basic Trainer
Israel has requested the possible sale of 25 Hawker Beechcraft T-6A Texan II basic pilot training aircraft. The Israeli Air Force is the last user of the French Fouga Magister basic jet trainer, which dates from the early 1960s. These aircraft have high fuel and maintenance costs and poor serviceability. If Israel takes all the requested options, the order could cost $190 million. But because this will be a foreign military sale, Israel could have at least part of the cost offset by U.S. military aid programs.

Dog sledding: healthy pedigree dogs in action
If you want to see a spectator sport with a difference, head up to the Scottish Highlands this weekend, where the 27th annual Aviemore Husky Sled Dog Rally is taking place. Over 200 teams of dogs will be pulling their owners at up to 20 miles an hour over a four-mile track through woodlands and up hillsides. This year, the recent cold spell has ensured that the event will be held on snow, with the dogs pulling sledges. In past years, the more temperate conditions have meant that the dogs have pulled three-wheeled rigs that look like bikes without seats.
The use of pet dogs to pull sleds (or, more commonly in the UK, wheeled rigs) has become a popular leisure activity over the past fifteen years. The Siberian Husky is the best known breed of dog to be used, but Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, Greenland Dogs and Canadian Eskimo Dogs are also popular. I've tried it myself and it's certainly an exhilerating sensation to be pulled along by dogs at speeds similar to a rapid spin on a bicycle.
Interestingly, the Secretary of the Kennel Club, Caroline Kisko, is a sled-pulling enthusiast, and when I met her at the launch of the Independent Inquiry into Dog Breeding last week, she was nursing a broken collar bone after taking a spill during a sled race. She owns twenty Siberian Huskies, from two 4-month old pups to a 14 year old whose sledding days are over. Sled pulling dogs are a good example of the way that pedigree dogs ought to be: they're supremely "fit for function". The breeds were developed by people living in the cold northern areas of Europe, Asia and North America, who were dependent on their dogs for protection, companionship, hunting, trapping and most of all for transportation. A working sled dog in action is a picture of a dog in its prime, enjoying life and in excellent physical condition.
This type of dog isn't for everyone: enthusiasts for the breed take pains to stress the "minus" points of Huskies: reasons why you oughtn't have one as a pet. But if you want an eye-catching, innovative, carbon-friendly way of commuting, could this be the answer you're looking for?

Delhi Elections 2013 is near and it will be most important for the country ahead of Lok sabha Elections 2014. Before formation of Aam Aadmi Party, people think that there will be war between Indian National Congress (INC) and Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Delhi Assembly Elections 2013. They have to choose one party from two mostly corrupted traditional political parties. Now, they have one new choice to give their valuable vote i.e. "Aam Aadmi Party". If you are not considering Aam Aadmi Party to give your vote then re-think and consider following important reasons to vote for AAP in the elections.
No Criminal Candidates
Most of common man tired from the Politics due to criminal candidates in the elections. It is new trend in most of political parties to make criminal as their candidate to win easily the election on muscle power. There are also some candidates can be found in the parties like Indian National Congress (INC), Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and others.
As per my knowledge and belief as well as Aam Aadmi Party's information on the candidates forms, there is no single one candidate who has criminal records. 100% candidates are best without having any criminal backgrounds. It is the major and most important plus point while selecting your favorite candidate for the election.
Transparency in Party Fund / Election Fund
I think most of people reading newspapers as well as news channels that abc and xyz party got crores of fund for the upcoming elections. Is there any special reasons for donors to give crores of donations to these parties ? Yeah, they will get benefits of more than 100th times more financially if particular party is elected. So, both donor and party are benefited from this funding, but who is in lose ? Yeah, public!
While talking about Aam Aadmi Party, they are mostly transparent in party fund/election fund. They have made list of donors including their name, location, payment, transaction ID and such information online. This online information of donors can be accessible through their website here.
Transparency in Candidate Selection
Most of political parties have secret political procedures to select their candidates in the election. Other political parties select candidates who has muscle power, money power, bad criminal records and so on. While Aam Aadmi Party has selected most of candidates based on their reputation (good or bad person nothing like celebrity!), willingness to work for the country, his/her capacity and so on.
Intend to Work for the Nation
I think most of us experienced that political leaders comes to our home for vote. After election completes, how many political leaders visits your home/area ? I think most of leaders will forget you after the completion of election because you are worthless for them now. In Aam Aadmi Party, most of candidates are common man and they will not accept even Government house, facilities and so on which proves their willingness to work for the progress of nation.
Let's wait for the voting day to cast your valuable vote in the Delhi Elections 2013 for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal.

When Steve Kloves (who wrote the majority of the Potter screenplays) met J.K. Rowling for the first time, he told her straight up that Hermione was his favorite character. Rowling admitted to being relieved, and who could blame her? It was more likely for Hermione to end up disrespected on screen—she wouldn't be the first female hero to get butchered in the reels.
But this resulted in an undercutting of Ron's entire character from the first movie. Don't believe it? When the trio go after the Philosopher's Stone, they face a series of tests that demand each of their skills in turn. Time likely demanded that this sequence be cut down, and so Hermione's test—solving Professor Snape's potion riddle—was removed entirely. To make up for this, she gets them out of the Devil's Snare, Professor Sprout's deadly plant. Hermione shouts to Harry and Ron to relax so the foliage will release them—but Ron continues to panic and moan (in campiest fashion possible because he's played by a child actor and these things are always requested of them), requiring Hermione to blast the thing with a sunlight spell.
In the book, Hermione is the one who panics. She remembers what her lessons taught her—that the Devil's Snare will recoil at fire—but balks at their lack of matches while they are being strangled to death. Ron immediately shrieks to the rescue YOU ARE A WITCH YOU HAVE A WAND YOU KNOW SPELLS WHAT ARE MATCHES.
It's a simple change, but it makes such a marked difference in how both characters come off to an audience. Rather than a near-infant, incapable of following the clearest directions, Ron is the even-keeled nitty-gritty one. He's a tactician, the one who will find the simplest answer to a problem provided that the situation is dire enough to ensure his clear head. Ron is good under pressure and brave to boot. He's also hilarious.
It is easy to write this off as an actor problem; Emma Watson matured and improved much faster than her costars in terms of talent—and Steve Kloves liked her portrayal so much that he started giving her many of Ron's important lines. During The Prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius Black is trying to get to Peter Pettigrew (currently disguised as Scabbers the Rat), but Ron and Hermione are convinced he's after Harry. In the book, Ron stares up defiantly from his mangled, broken leg and tells Sirius Black that if he wants Harry, he'll have to get through his friends first.
Yeah, my leg hurts way too much, Hermione. You take this one. But say it's from me. And in the film, it's Hermione who boldly steps in the line of fire while Ron sobs in pain and babbles incoherently.
These rewrites not only depict Ron as an idiot coward—they also make him an outright jerk. When Professor Snape snaps at Hermione yet again for being an insufferable know-it-all, movie-Ron gives her a look and drawls, "He's right, you know." Wait, what?! Harry, why are you friends with this prick? Well, maybe because the Ron Weasley that J.K. Rowling put on paper was in that exact same situation, and immediately leapt to Hermione's defense when she was being abused by a teacher—"You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?""

The Fine Art of Fluff - A Reader of Fictions
I'm going to open with a confession: I used to look down on fluffy books. After a childhood spent reading the book equivalent of romantic fiction, I switched the other way to only dark books, full of pain and death and all sorts of intense, sad-making things. Somewhere along the way, I got the idea &
we need all the fluff we can get! no shame! go and read all the fluffy books!

Buffalo, N.Y. (WKBW release) -- In recognition of Project Safe Childhood Month, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. joined with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Marshal Service, the U.S. Postal Service, the NYS Police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to send a message to all adults about the need to protect our children.
"One of the greatest responsibilities we as adults have is to protect our children from harm," said U.S. Attorney Hochul. "Unfortunately, our children are exposed to many more dangers these days, especially in cyberspace."
Project Safe Childhood is a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006 that aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children. The threat of sexual predators soliciting children for physical sexual contact is well known and serious; the danger of perpetrators who produce, distribute and possess child pornography is equally dramatic and disturbing.
In 2010, in the Western District of New York, 50 defendants were charged with crimes. Forty-four of those defendants have been sentenced, 33 of them to five years or more in federal prison. So far in 2011, 27 defendants have been charged and of the 25 sentenced, 14 will be spending at least five years behind bars.
Crimes prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Childhood initiative include the production, distribution, receipt, transportation and possession of child pornography; buying and selling children for the purpose of producing child pornography; the advertising of child pornography; enticement; transporting a minor across state lines to engage in sexual activity; traveling across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct with a minor; the sex trafficking of minors and failure to register as a sex offender.
"Project Safe Childhood has mobilized New York and the nation in an historic multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary attack on Internet-based crimes against children," said Edward Suk, Executive Director of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children/New York. "We commend US Attorney Hochul, Attorney General Holder, and the leaders of federal, state and local law enforcement for their vision and commitment to children. We are honored to be a partner in this historic effort."
"As the numbers show, we have been successful, working side by side with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, in tracking down and bringing these predators to justice," said Hochul. "But we cannot rest. We will continue to work with our community partners, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in hopes of preventing the need for such prosecutions."
1. With extra time on their hands, some kids will undoubtedly be spending more time on the computer. Parents need to monitor that computer usage including the time spent online and the Web sites their children are visiting. It is also a good idea to keep the family computer in a common area, rather than a child's bedroom.
2. Know what other access your child may have to the internet such as friends' houses, the library and cell phones.
3. Discuss with your children what is appropriate to post online and what is not such as information about themselves and pictures.
4. Encourage your children to let you know if they are approached by a stranger online, someone they don't know, especially if they are scared or confused.
Facebook Tips for Parents
1. Join Facebook yourself, if you aren't on it already. Familiarize yourself with the site and become "friends" with your child. Older teens may balk at this, but it should be an absolute requirement for pre-teens, tweens and younger teens who want to join.
2. Teach your kids to be wary of using FB applications. When a child uses these applications, that information may be broadcast on his or her FB page. Teach your kids to avoid clicking on anything that they don't want advertised to every friend on their feed.
3. Keep contact information private by carefully checking out FB's privacy settings for "Contact Information." You can restrict who sees an email address, phone number, website, hometown, etc.
4. Remove your children's Facebook profile (and your own) from public search engines. Since the default on the site is to allow this, you will need to go to the Privacy options page (under Account) and uncheck the box next to "Create a public search listing for me and submit it for search engine indexing."
5. People often "tag" photos on FB, which means identifying people in the pictures. To avoid having tagged photos be seen by strangers, go to your profile privacy page and click on the setting "Photos Tagged of You". Select the option which says "Customize." A box will pop up asking you who you want to allow to see photos others might have posted and tagged with your name. The safest setting is "Only Me," but you can also choose Select Friends, and then enter the names of your most trusted friends who will be allowed to see them. This would be a good place to add mom or dad's name to your kids' lists, so you get to see what pictures others post of them.

If it were up to me I'd marry you right now. I'd start my life with you. We'd go out and buy that piece of land you want, build a cute little house. Have sex, cuddle by the fireplace and eat breakfast together the next morning. Go to work, and rush to get home just so we could see each other. Eventually have babies, and fight over who's parents we're naming them after. Buy our first dog. Celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Get in those bad fights, but make up after a day or so. Continue to surprise each other, watch the sunset from our front porch every now and then. Watch our babies graduate and start their lives. Retire. Meet our grandbabies. Hold each other every night and never forget the love that started this all. If it were up to me, I'd start that adventure with you right now.
how does one tell a boy that one likes him
I am a boy and have a foolproof plan for this:
- text them and start playing one of those 20q games
- if they start being a dodgy fella drop em
- if they ask "You like anyone?"
reply Yeah, you.
- If they give you a negative reply sayin they dont like you back then just correct yourself to "*Yeah, you?"
dude that is genius
slow clappin' it out.
my sister got this lifesize cardboard cutout of sheldon from the big bang theory for christmas and i put him in my moms room right infront of the door and closed the door and waited in my room and i just heard the most terrified blood curdling scream come from her room followed by a lot of cursing at me

Book Description: As the success of blockbusters like The Da Vinci Code shows, the incomparable and enigmatic Leonardo da Vinci continues to captivate. In this widely acclaimed biography, Charles Nicholl uncovers the man behind the myth of the "Renaissance master." Painter, sculptor, inventor, draftsman, anatomist—Leonardo's life and career encompassed so many of the creative achievements that made his era spectacular. Nicholl skillfully captures it all while tracing his subject's journey from an illegitimate child in Tuscany to his service with some of the most powerful families of Renaissance Europe. Rich with historical background, packed with black-and-white and color illustrations, and utterly engaging, this is the definitive look at a figure whose genius reaches out to us through the centuries.

It's been a few days since we got any new news about the Buccaneers from the Head Coach himself, so let's go over some highlights from today's press conference with Greg Schiano.
- Safety Dashon Goldson was seen riding a bike today in practice, which usually indicates an injury. But Schiano confirmed that it was more of a rest from constant practicing as Goldson was installed as the leader of the defensive backfield.
- On the injury "good news" front, fullback Erik Lorig was back on the field today, but the Bucs are taking things slow with him. There has already been a setback in his recovery, so they want to be sure he's ready for opening day by taking things slow.
- And on the "bad news" side of things, cornerback Danny Gorrer had groin surgery, and will miss some time. Schiano did stress it was not season ending, and said he'd be out for "a little bit," but it was unclear the exact timeline of the recovery.
- Gorrer's absence obviously puts a dent into the depth at cornerback for the Buccaneers, who suddenly have a lot less to work with as Anthony Gaitor and Danny Gorrer are both sidelined. But Schiano said there's still enough to work with, and things aren't yet "dicey." They don't have the personnel to handle more losses, but Schiano said that's all relative. He said it's not nearly as bad as last year, and that's partially because the experiences of last season have prepared them for how to deal with a lack of depth at corner.
- The lack of depth at corner will not rush Darrelle Revis back, according to the head coach. He's on track with his recovery, but the situation is not dire enough to demand Revis to risk a setback just to cover for Gaitor and Gorrer.
- When asked about Josh Freeman's confidence, Schiano said he has no reason to believe Freeman lost any confidence after Saturday night's game. The coach actually praised the way Freeman saw what was going on during the game, saying that the sideline comments Freeman made about what he saw were reflected on tape review. The Bucs' head coach said the team will help protect Freeman better and help him get rid of the ball, and "he's gonna be fine."
- And finally, regarding Gabe Carimi's potential move to guard to cover for Carl Nicks, Schiano said it's "viable," but they're still considering other options at the position. Carimi did some things well, but there are things they want to fix as well.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is in the preppy k program at this school & it has been amazing! I did not feel he was ready for the rigorous demands of kindergarten yet & this has been the perfect bridge between preschool & kindergarten. The curriculum is the same as kindergarten but is taught at a slower pace to allow for stress free learning. They do a lot of activities that help with fine motor skills & writing too as well as some really fun activities. The principal, Dr. H has been absolutely wonderful! I wasn't sure if this would be the correct placement for my son but after talking with Dr. H (the principal), all my concerns were eased. She is the most caring & involved principal & that spirit radiates throughout the school community. This is not our home school so my son will be somewhere else next year for kindergarten & we will miss Perry very much!
My son attends this school, and he's in the 1st Grade. I have to say, this school is fantastic! Before my son attended Kindergarten here, he was pretty shy, but he has blossomed socially in the last couple of years. Both of the teachers that he has had have been incredible with him, and he honestly enjoys attending school. The principal is also awesome! She is really caring about the childrens' education. The only place where there is room for improvement is parent involvement. The parent involvement at this school is good, but it could be better. I'm not crazy about the PTA leader, as she will not delegate responsibility, preferring instead to take on everything herself while complaining that no one wants to help. I'm sure that many parents would be more involved if we didn't have to go through our PTA president to help out.
Perry is a fantastic school and if you get a chance to have your child attend - DO IT! My son is in 5th grade next year and has attended since kindergarten. He is Honor Roll and scores tops in state testing. Perry has jumped 28 points in state test scores in just two years! The teachers, staff, and Principal are wonderful and the PTA has been able to provide programs like Art and Music. I cannot say enough about how great this school is!
My daughter has attendede Preschool here. We loved Miss Cindy and Miss Stacey, and now Mrs Grogan and Miss Nora are amazing teachers. Ive only heard the best things about Mrs Alavrez, and Im so thorned because we may have to move them to another school, but we really wanted our son to learn as much a s our daughter did in Preschool ... Excellent preschool and kindergarten. Dont know much about therest of the grades... but its a good start....
This School is HORRIBLE! The 4 years that my son was there he was basically denied an education. The only great teacher he had there was in 2nd grade, after that it was all down hill. I went into conference & asked his 4th & 5th grade teacher how he was supposed to learn in such a messy classroom, he had no response. The majority of the time the kids were with aids ( that had no teaching credentials ) 80% of the time no homework was given. I sat down with the principal and teacher & explained my concerns & was told changes would be made, yet none were. My friend use to teach at this school & she transferred, telling me to try and get a transfer, because it's bad there all the way around! Sent with my iPhone
My grandchildren attend Perry School and we are very pleased with the teachers. Mrs. Alvaez, who teaches kindergarten at Perry is just amazing. She has a wonderful way of relating to all the children and motivating them to learn. She should be mentoring all the other kindergarten teachers in the district.
My daughter attended Perry for Kindergarten and First grade. Ms. Alverez and Ms. Finster are amazing teachers that will be close to our hearts always. This school has very caring teachers. The school does not have a lot of money but, really care about the students. We had a very positive experience at the school and any issues that came up were handled very well by the teachers.
Perry Elementary is a great school. There is active participation by faculty and staff also encourage parent involvement.The PTSA this year is awesome! The new principal is just as awesome! Thank you for your commitment to our children and their education.
Perry is an amazing school with fantastic staff and wonderful children. The fact that the teachers talk with the children and not at them makes such a big difference. My child has found a wonderful new confidence since he has been at Perry. I want to say that Mrs.Forgiarini and Ms. K are amazing.
Perry is a large school with a small school feel. I love the education and care my son recieves and I am so grateful to the Perry staff.
Perry is a great school! My children love it there. The teachers are the best, they take time to help and really care for their students. The new principal has doen an awesome job this year. The music program is the best, my children have learned to read music and play keyboards and love it. Academic programs are great, they put he students with other students with the same ability in the classrooms. I recommend Perry as a great school to enrol your children.
Thoughtfull and attentive teaching staff. Music program for all students is a plus.
This school is a great school. Over all the teachers and the school itself is great. Do not let the California rating get you down from other schools in the area. I was worried at first but it is a good school.
Good School. Great teachers
The teachers are very supportive and great to work with. My child has loved being at perry and as parents we've had only good experiences. We would highly recommend perry school.
Academics are about as good as any. Great music and art program. Needs more parents involvement. Principal is lacking in personality and hospitality as well as office staff.
I do not know much about this school but I do know that there is one teacher there who I think is a hands on loving, dedicated role model and that is Ms. Kobiyashi.(sorry if I did not spell it right) My stepson is in her class and I can see how much she cares about her students.
My daughter has been at Perry since Kindergarten and is graduating this year. She has had excellent teachers every single year! She has grown tremendously over the years with the help of the nurturing teachers. The communication between parents and teachers is very open at Perry Elementary. I appreciate that since my husband and I are both full time workers and are unable to see the teacher on a daily basis. Thanks Perry!

Can you use skills you acquired with a preview key??
24-04-2007, 13:11 #2
Any skills you unlock at any time stay unlocked...
If you run around with a trial key and unlock some skills, then your trial key expires, then you buy the game, you'll be able to use the skills you unlocked...
As far as multiple keys, that hasn't worked for anyone I know; it said "Your account already has access to that material" when they tried to add another trial key.

What happen if i added skill for heroes(trial key)
key expired, will the skill still usable for heroes?
24-04-2007, 16:13 #4
Skill unlocks are skill unlocks, whether you get them from a hero skill trainer, a regular skill trainer, or the priest of balthazar.
So yes.
Also, what is this doing in the warrior forum?

Spiritual Sundays
Last week I shared about some health problems I have been having and you have all been so kind and compassionate. Thank you for your prayers on my behalf. I believe it has made a difference because the pain is more bearable the last few days.
I am still waiting to get in to see the specialist so I don't have anything new to report. However I do have a scripture verse I would like to share with you. This verse always helps me stay focused.
"Whatever is true, whatever is honourable,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." ~ Philippians 4:8
For many years, Philippians 4:8, has been one of my favourite verses of scripture. Life isn't always beautiful and it isn't always fair. There are trials and disappointmernts at every bend in the road. But it's how we handle those trials and disappointments that shows us and others who we really are. Even in the midst of a trial, we can find something beautiful or lovely to dwell on. He never promised any of us a rose garden. But He promised He would be with us always. Therefore we can always find something to praise Him for!
You see the beautiful rose in the photo above? It is exquisite but should you handle it, you will more than likely get pricked by the thorns. Sometimes you have to get past the thorns to appreciate the beauty!
The God who sustains the universe sustains me.~
Thank you for your visit today. I hope you will visit Spiritual Sundays. You will be inspired and encouraged. Just click the link: http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/

Hi sweetie!
What a great verse...a fav of mine as well. I have continued to keep you in constant prayers since you wrote.
Another passage that God gave me these past years is Psalms 121...he watches over you and is a constant by our side through trials in our life.
May you be comforted by the Lord who heals!
Hugs, love and prayers!

Love the verse! A favorite of mine too! I also love 2 Cor:12:9 My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness."
I will always pray for you and I hope you get to the bottom of this ailment soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Anne

Hi, Sandi,
Good luck with your health issues. I recently went through an unexpected health crisis myself, which resulted in surgery that was a little frightening to contemplate. The good news is it's completed and I've healed and my doctors say I'm fine - so I am wishing similar results for you, if that is in your future.
Sharing online is a delicate issue. One thing I learned when I did share my situation is how many other folks out there had similar experience, and I learned so much from them, and received so much wonderful support
Keep your attitude as positive as you have been, and I know you'll come through fine.
Have a lovely Pink Saturday.

Hi Sandi. A favorite and encouraging word for a difficult time. I will be praying with your other blogging sisters that you receive some answers. A verse I have a hate/love relationship is: "Count it all joy when you encounter diverse trials knowing that the trying of your faith produces great gain and you will be perfect and whole, requiring nothing" James 1:2-4

Ann Johnson Flint wrote these words. They have helped me many times going through hard places.
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
Still praying,

Hi Sandi, Have missed your beautiful blog since I had stopped doing the weekly parties due to a break in blogging. I am having a "pruning season" from the Lord, I believe in order to be ready for something wonderful I can do to serve Him in my life. For instance, when seeing Spirtual Sundays button on a friend's blog after midnight on Sunday morning, the Lord told me to join that group and exactly what I should post. Such a long post for my very first time ever on SS but HE had a reason, I may never know for asking me to do this, so I did without question. I was so happy to your blog listed and get to visit you again today. I am going to try to get back to your post of last Sunday so I know how to pray for your health issues. Until then, I will just ask Him to guide me in praying for you. May your week be blessed and may HE give you renewed strength and health.

PS When I submit my post on SS, I received an error message, but my blog name is highlighted and if you click on that it will take you to the correct post. I am holding off posting anything new until Wed. per HIS guidance.

I looked at several different websites today on the history of my chosen topics:
I'm hoping these will help me form an opinion on the celebrities private lives.
Today, I've been looking at who I could look at in the celebrity world, and I narrowed it down to a list of 8 people:
I chose these people because I'm either a fan, or they have been in the tabloids, or talked about, quite a lot recently, or what they have done in the past has still had a devastating impact on their career. I narrowed it down even more to The Kardashians, The Osbournes, Britney Spears and Kerry Katona. I eliminated Kerry Katona after searching her on the internet (is she really always doing something wrong?), and found I could not decide between The Kardashians, The Osbournes and Britney.I definitely wanted to compare The Kardashians to somebody. The Kardashians are always in the tabloids. Always. Everybody is always talking about them and they seem to have taken the world by storm.My first thought was The Osbournes, as they are another family, but I finally decided on comparing The Kardashians and Britney Spears, a whole family to an individual. I've actually found myself thinking whether the reason The Kardashians are so "cool headed" is because it's not just one of them going through it alone and they all understand each other.
Today I have been searching the internet for facts and figures to compare my own with. "34% of respondents to our poll think that celebrities should be entitled to absolute privacy in their private lives unless they are breaking the law, OR doing something that might be considered morally wrong (e.g. having an affair). Tiger Woods et al. fall into this category, so it is interesting to note that only 46% of respondents think that he has no right to privacy in this case." I found a few facts that I'm hoping to put inside my report.
This is a report on celebrities privacy and the rights the paparazzi hold
Today, I've completed the questionnaires. I had a few of my friends and family, as well as people on my course, fill them in, but I haven't yet started comparing them against each other. I've read through each one and it appears most people agree that they do not have any privacy. I'm hoping to have facts and figures by the end of this evening, as well as information into the laws on privacy of celebrities (though I found an article on this which I haven't read all the way through that discussed the rights of the paparazzi). This hasn't been completed up to yet due to other coursework.
Here is a copy of the questions from the questionnaire:
By September, I'm hoping to have my questionnaire completed by as many as possible and for myself to annotate the results to put into my report. As well as this, I'm planning to have my research into the law of celebrity privacy and how the court system has dealt previous issues. I'm going to try to make links between these and what the public thinks by the end of the month. In October, I'm hoping to have found the two celebrities that I'm going to focus on for my report through looking at who has been in the tabloids a lot recently and whether it's been a good effect on their career or not. I'm also going to look at their careers on a whole and what publicity has surrounded them since the beginning of their careers. December to January, I'm hoping to have begun writing a rough draft of my report, which may be nothing like the final outcome. I will include pieces of data that I have found out from my questionnaires and from interviewing certain people. By the middle of January, I will begin to write another version of the report, which will hold most of the points that the final report will. From the first of February to the due date, I will spend my time writing the final version that will have been cut and edited to make sure no "waffle" is included within the report. I will also have a collage made to look like the front of a magazine.
The title of my work will be "Should Celebrities Be Entitled To Privacy?" which will be in the form of a report.My project objectives are to find out the laws on celebrity privacy, why these have/have not been set and what the public thinks of celebrities privacy. This is a project I will do independently. The reason I have chose "Should Celebrities Be Entitled To Privacy?" is because it has recently been in the tabloids with the phone hacking scandal where 'The News Of The World' bugged people's phones so they could hear their private conversations.I also find it an interesting topic to discuss because if every human is entitled to privacy, why aren't they?I also have a few friends who wish to go into tabloid journalism and they find this an interesting topic.Activities to be carried out during the project include:
My milestones are October 2011 and February 2012, which have been set by my tutors.The resources I will need are magazines, newspapers, questionnaires, a computer and internet access.

Exploring Contemporary Craft
History, Theory and Critical Writing
The craft of craft, the art of craft here in Canada we're just starting to really talk about these things. In March 1999, Jean Johnson, who runs Toronto's Craft Studio at Harbourfront Centre, organized a wildly successful symposium on the state of craft in Canada. Curators, writers, critics, academics and craftspeople spoke about all aspects of craft: history, practice, theory, criticism. Taken together, these papers create a clear picture of the vibrant crafts scene in Canada.
The symposium was a groundbreaking event, a first in Canada, offering to the crafts community a new depth of consideration. The book, too, is a Canadian first, and it will allow a dialogue about the academic side of the craft movement to continue.
Each of the book's three sections, History, Theory and Critical Writing, contains a keynote paper and essays by experts in each field, including Mark Kingwell writing 'On Style,' Blake Gopnik on 'Reviewing Craft Exhibitions for the Art Pages,' and Robin Metcalfe addressing 'Teacup Readings: Contextualizing Craft in the Art Gallery.'

Today marks our move towards the Pacific Coast and away from the mountainous Western territory that has been so hospitable to Love, the Bus over the last few weeks. Our time in Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho has been marked with a slew of extreme activity in the name of charitable organizations and our own adventurous appetites. Our first stop in the Rocky Mountain territory was Fort Collins, Colorado where we stayed with Crystal and Tiff, two of my gregarious friends from high school. We spent hours tandem-bike riding around the micro-brew capital of the world while hosting an impromptu undie run through the Colorado State campus, visiting a fantastic urban CSA program, and showing off the bus grease kit at a local sustainability fair. We left Fort Collins full off hops and fresh vegetables after donating five huge bags of clothes to those in need. After a quick stint of dune boarding at Dunes National Park, Chartreuse made it up and over the mountains to Carbondale where we were finally (finally!) able to resolve the frustrating problems with the grease system. It feels good to smell like french fries and shrimp tempura again and the bus has continued to steadily cover ground fueled solely on waste vegetable oil.
The bus was greeted in Wyoming by the colossal Teton Mountains and a group of Tyler's friends from Connecticut College. Jackson is nothing less than a natural playground and proved to be as good a place as any to cliff jump and tube down the Snake River on inner-tubes and…air mattresses. On the suggestions of many, we checked out the local Habitat for Humanity mission and spent a day nailing, sawing and hammering in order to provide low income housing for five Jackson families. The day at Habitat was a break from the usual bus model of fundraising around a specific challenge. Instead, Tyler, Seth and Corey decided to stop by the construction site on a whim and donate their time and skill. Volunteering at Habitat for Humanity was rewarding for all and a welcome reminder that doing good can be seamlessly integrated into travel with a bit of initiative. While enjoying all that Jackson had to offer us as visitors, the bus was also able to make a tangible and lasting contribution to the community.
After a quick stop in Sun Valley, Idaho, Love, the Bus drives West away from the cozy ski towns to the Pacific Coast. The bus has covered a wide expanse of territory in the last month. We've been inspired by the disarming kindness and hospitality of the people and communities we've met along the way and are ready to continue to spread optimism on the final leg of the trip. Send Tyler, Seth, and Corey suggestions, challenges, and causes and they traverse their way through Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and the many worthy places in-between.
-Kelsey and the Bus
This past week we were lucky enough to meet up with the Kellogg Show—a family who lived up to their title as "the most bad-ass family on earth". The family of thirteen took Seth, Corey, Tyler, Kelsey, and Kevin down the Colorado river for an extreme adventure.
Check out their show and the work they do with the organization First Descents.
Thanks to the folks @ the Fort Collins Sustainable Living Fair for allowing us to join in on a day of music, community, and great ideas. Fort Collins is a full of people who have lots to teach about sustainable energy, organic food, and eco-living. Thanks for all of the support!

Hello. I'm new in archery. I bought Martin Scepter III with elite limbs and fury-X cams on ebay. I checked specifications on Martin's side and I thought that I could change my draw length... Unfortunatly bow is 27" and all I need is 29". It's great bow and I definitely would love to shoot from it but this problem came to me like nightmare.
Would you like to help me and tell where I can get good deal on different cams and (if I need) cable and string? I don't need anything advanced and expensive only something to enjoy such a great style of life!
Thank You.

Tashirojima (田代島?) is a small island in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan. It lies in the Pacific Ocean off the Oshika Peninsula, to the west of Ajishima. It is an inhabited island, although the population is quite small (around 100 people, down from around 1000 people in the 1950s[1]). It has become known as "Cat Island" due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune. The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island. (A 2009 article in Sankei News says that there are no pet dogs and it is basically prohibited to bring dogs onto the island.[2])
The island is divided into two villages/ports: Oodomari and Nitoda. Ajishima, a neighbouring island, used to belong to the town of Oshika, while Tashirojima was a part of the city of Ishinomaki. On April 1, 2005, Oshika merged with Ishinomaki,[3] so now both islands are a part of Ishinomaki.
Since 83% of the population is classified as elderly, the island's villages have been designated as a "terminal village" (限界集落 genkai-shūraku?) which means that with 50% or more of the population being over 65 years of age, the survival of the villages is threatened.[2] The majority of the people who live on the island are involved either in fishing or hospitality.
The island is also known as Manga Island, as Shotaro Ishinomori built manga-related buildings on the island, resembling a cat.[citation needed]
Tashiro Elementary School closed down in 1989 and was turned into an educational center. The educational center closed in 2008. Manga Island, a tourist facility, was built in 2000. A 6 km and 10 km race called Hyokkori Hyōtan Tashirojima Marathon was held in 2007.[citation needed]
In 2011, the island was hit by the Tōhoku tsunami. Survivor reports suggest extensive damage to the island.
Cat shrine[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
There is a small cat shrine, known as Neko-jinja (猫神社?), in the middle of the island, roughly situated between the two villages. In the past, the islanders raised silkworms for silk, and cats were kept in order to keep the mouse population down (because mice are a natural predator of silkworms). Fixed-net fishing was popular on the island after the Edo Period and fishermen from other areas would come and stay on the island overnight. The cats would go to the inns where the fishermen were staying and beg for scraps. Over time, the fishermen developed a fondness for the cats and would observe the cats closely, interpreting their actions as predictions of the weather and fish patterns. One day, when the fishermen were collecting rocks to use with the fixed-nets, a stray rock fell and killed one of the cats. The fishermen, feeling sorry for the loss of the cat, buried it and enshrined it at this location on the island.
There are at least ten cat shrines in Miyagi Prefecture. There are also 51 stone monuments in the shape of cats, which is an unusually high number compared to the other prefectures. In particular, these shrines and monuments are concentrated in the southern area of the island, overlapping with the regions where silkworms were raised.
Mentions in media[edit]
In 2004, a couple moved to the island from Sendai and opened up an inn for travelers called Hamaya. In 2006, they started a blog about the island and its inhabitants.[4] On May 20, 2006, Terebi Asahi filmed an episode of Jinsei no Rakuen (人生の楽園?) on the island, mentioning the large cat population. Also, a movie about cats made by Fuji Terebi called Nyanko the Movie (にゃんこ THE MOVIE?) featured a story about Droopy-Eared Jack (たれ耳ジャック Tare Mimi Jack?), one of the cats on the island. The movie was made into a series (the latest one, Nyanko the Movie 4 was released in July 2010) and each one has included an update on Jack. As a result, many cat lovers come to the island and package tours specifically to "look for Jack" are now available. Cat photo contests and exhibitions are now held on the island.

'Tuukka Time' is finally coming to Boston
|09.26.09 at 10:51 pm ET
With a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets still fresh in his mind, rookie goaltender Tuukka Rask still couldn't hide his excitement at winning a spot on the Bruins regular season roster Saturday afternoon. The B's announced that Dany Sabourin was being sent down to Providence prior to the game, and that meant a goalie competition — one that was fairly one-sided — was officially over.
One short season ago Rask had the best camp of any Bruins goaltender, but was busted down to the AHL for seasoning with veterans Thomas and Manny Fernandez on the roster. It was difficult for the 22-year-old to hide his frustration on his way down, but things couldn't be more opposite this time around as Thomas' understudy.
"[I'm] really excited," said Rask. "This is something that I've been working toward. I feel for [Sabourin] because I was in the same spot last year. Obviously it's fun to be here, and I've been hoping for it to happen. It's good that it happened.
"It's a little different feeling [this year]. You can imagine what it feels like when you have a good camp and then you're sent down. But if that's the way things are you've got to get over it."
The young goalie clearly was battling with a fatigued team in front of him playing its sixth game in eight nights, but there were flashes of exactly what he'll bring to the table this season on Saturday night. He's bigger and plays a much more silent game between the pipes than his Vezina Trophy-winning partner, and he managed 31 saves against a Blue Jackets team piling on Grade A chances over the final 30 minutes of play.
"When you looked at the way [Tuukka] played in those first few exhibition games, it was clear he had improved a lot from what I saw last year," said Claude Julien. "Personally from what I saw in the playoffs in Providence the year before, he had collapse a little bit. Especially in that last game.
"Mentally he's become stronger and physically he's become stronger and he's in a lot more control. He's got a lot more experience and he's the right fit for us. Tonight, I think he played well. Didn't have much help in front of him. We're confident in him, and he's going to play. We all know Timmy is not a goaltender that will play 70, or 75 games. Tuukka will need to come in and do the job, and we'll confident in him."
Rask was never more impressive than when he completely stone-walled Russian sniper Nikita Filatov skating in all alone for golden opportunity in the third period. There was no panic or quick movements, and Rask didn't allow any holes for Filatov to pick at as he came speeding toward the cage. Rask won't be required to play any more than 30-35 games in his first season backing up Thomas, but the 6-foot-2, 171-pounder is ready to fill whatever role comes his way.
"I'm really excited for Thursday and to get things going," said Rask. "We've just got to get this train going on the right track. Just get a good start and never look back.
"The job I'm given, I'm going to try the best I can and help this team. You want to do your best and simply help the team. That's all I can do. I feel like I've been this team for two weeks now, and it feels good."

text: 1,409 notes Posted 30, July, 2013 Greta oto has many names, the 'transparent butterfly' and the 'glasswinged butterfly' to name a few. Quite unbelievable and intriguing, but still very cool! 'The Glasswinged butterfly is a beautiful brush-footed butterfly and is a member of the: subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, subtribe Godyridina. Greta oto adults exhibit a number of interesting behaviours, such as long migrations and lekking (gathering of males for competitive mating displays). The wings are translucent, with a wingspan of 5.6 to 6.1 cm (2.2 to 2.4 in). Its most common English name is glasswinged butterfly, and its Spanish name is "espejitos", which means "little mirrors." The Glasswinged butterfly gets its name because the tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass, as it lacks the coloured scales found in other butterflies.'
