PATHFINDERS 2016 – Don't Miss It!
About the 2016 Pathfinders Program
Click here for directions to Scoutland on Lake Lanier in Gainesville.
Click here for flyer and registration information.
Whether you are a new Boy Scout or well down the path to Eagle, Pathfinders 2016 is your unique opportunity to earn some of your favorite merit badges. With 10 days to select from and 21 top merit badges, why wait any longer?
The Pathfinders program is offered daily over the two weeks of June 13-17, 2016 & June 20-24, 2016. You can attend one day, 2 days, 3 days or every day! At Pathfinders, you can earn a merit each day. And in some cases, you can earn two in a day.
We offer the opportunity for a Scout to spend a day or more at camp and earn a merit badge. Your Scout can earn his choice of Archery, Basketry, First Aid, Fishing, Radio, Leatherwork, Photography/Art, Rifle Shooting, Swimming, Welding and Wood Carving and many others.
Attend one or multiple days! Have an exciting time at camp and go home to sleep in your own bed at night!
Class Information
Spend a day shooting archery. Sign up early as space is limited. There is an additional materials fee of $17 that covers the cost of the arrow kit, string kit, and other items required for the badge.
Have a fun day with crafts. There is a $24 additional materials cost that provides for the 3 kits needed to complete the requirements of this badge. Completion of these three kits will likely take longer than the allotted time, however, all other requirements for this merit badge will be completed the day your Scout participates in Pathfinders.
Bird Study:
This class will introduce your Scout to the world of Birding and all it has to offer in studying these wonderful creatures. You will need to provide your own Field Glasses for this merit badge. Birds are among the most fascinating creatures on Earth. Many are beautifully colored. Others are accomplished singers. Many of the most important discoveries about birds and how they live have been made by amateur birders. In pursuing this hobby, a Scout might someday make a valuable contribution to our understanding of the natural world. This merit badge will only be available on Wednesday's of each week.
For several centuries, the canoe was a primary method of travel for explorers and settlers. Today, it remains an important part of the wilderness experience and an enjoyable leisure activity that teaches communication, teamwork, and physical fitness.
*First Aid:
First Aid will teach your Scout basic first aid skills, including how to provide emergency treatment for the most common injuries, from simple scrapes and cuts to broken bones. One of the Eagle required merit badges. In order to complete this merit badge at Pathfinders, your Scout will need to prepare a first-aid kit for home use and bring to Pathfinders.
Fishing is one of the most basic and classic ways to enjoy the outdoors. This class will teach your Scout about the techniques and laws related to Fishing. Scouts 16 years of age and older will need to have a valid fishing license for the state of Georgia prior to arriving at camp. They will also need to bring their own fishing equipment, including lures and hooks. While all requirements may be completed at camp, requirement #9 does require you to catch a fish, as such, the possibility exists that they may need to complete this requirement outside of Pathfinders.
Indian Lore:
Far different from the stereotypes or common images that are portrayed on film, on television, and in many books and stories, Native Americans have many different cultures, languages, religions, styles of dress, and ways of life. To learn about these different groups is to take an exciting journey of discovery in which you will meet some of America's most fascinating peoples. There will be a $15 materials fee to cover the cost of the craft kits required for the completion of this merit badge. This merit badge is only available on Tuesdays of each week.
Have a fun day with crafts. There is a $10 additional materials cost that provides for the kit needed to complete the requirements of this badge. Completion of this kit may take longer than the allotted time, however, all other requirements for this merit badge will be completed the day your Scout participates in Pathfinders.
Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor. This merit badge is only available on Thursdays of each week. In order to complete this merit badge at Pathfinders, your Scout will need to complete requirement #8a prior to arriving.
This merit badge provides an opportunity for Scouts to learn more about painting, including both the artistic and practical aspects. In order to complete this merit badge at Pathfinders your Scout will need to complete requirement #8 prior to arriving.
Photography teaches your Scout the basic techniques and principles involved in taking great pictures; including introducing them to the concepts of light, shadow, photo composition and proportion. The Scout will need to bring a digital camera for this merit badge.

Radio will teach your Scout about using a ham radio for world-wide communications and introduce them to a fun and exciting hobby. This class is only available on Tuesday's and Thursday's of each week.

This class will provide your Scout with basic shooting skills with a focus on safety principles. This is an extremely popular merit badge and space is limited. There is an additional $5 fee to cover the cost of materials.
Scouting Heritage:
Scouting Heritage merit badge is an opportunity for your Scout to learn about the history of the Scouting program. From it's roots in England through the founding of Scouting in the United States and the development of the modern program.
**Small Boat Sailing:
Sailing is one of the most enjoyable pastimes on the open water. The quiet and peacefulness of the water can provide a pleasant break from everyday life. However, smooth sailing requires paying careful attention to safety.
Improve your swimming techniques and enhance your aquatics confidence. One of Eagle required badges. You should already know how to swim when taking this badge.
Traffic Safety/Fingerprinting:
Staying safe in traffic wherever you live is getting more difficult all the time, as more and more people take to the road. Earning the Traffic Safety merit badge will give Scouts some crucial tools to stay safer when driving a car on a highway, riding a bike across town, or jogging across a busy street.
In earning the Fingerprinting merit badge, Scouts will learn about and use an important technique that is used by law enforcement officers, along with other materials like matching dental records and DNA sampling, to help identify amnesia victims, missing persons, abducted children, and others.
Learn a great skill that you will carry with you and can use for the rest of your life with this new merit badge. There is an additional materials cost of $24 that provides for the materials needed to complete some of the requirements of the merit badge. In order to complete this merit badge at Pathfinders, your Scout will need to complete requirement #7a prior to arriving.
*Wilderness Survival:
In outdoor activities, Scouts learn to bring the clothing and gear they need, to make good plans, and do their best to manage any risks. But now and then, something unexpected happens. When things go wrong, wilderness survival skills can help make everything right again. In order to complete this merit badge at Pathfinders, your Scout will need to complete requirement #8 prior to arriving.
Learn a great skill and develop your artistic ability with this timeless merit badge. There is an additional materials cost of $7 that provides for the cost of the kit needed to complete the requirements of this merit badge.

Any Scout who has not completed the pre-requisite requirement is still welcome and able to participate in the class, however they will not have completed the merit badge at the end of the day. Others may have requirements, that while they can be started at Pathfinders, may not be able to be completed due to a lack of time, such as some of the craft kits. In all of these cases please refer to the individual advancement page that your Scout received at the end of the day to see which requirements they did and did not complete.

All images in my main gallery are original works, created using graphite pencils, soft pastels, charcoal, and acrylic paint only. They contain no photography or digital alterations. Progress pictures in the description area may include photographs, but all main images are scanned from my original artwork.
I have been artistically inclined from an early age.
As a child I would create things out of cardboard, paper, and anything else I could find. Quite often my parents would find me sitting on the laundry floor, or under a table somewhere quiet ripping off pieces of sticky tape with my teeth!
In my teenage years I spent most of my work time creating elaborate headers for my assignments, which consequently left me with very little time for actual theory work. I was a silly boy, a joker, and not interested in anything serious, especially school.
I failed year 10 twice due to running amok and procrastinating with my studies. One of my high school art teachers told me once that I had such talent and potential, if only I would just apply myself. At the time I didn't realise the gravity of what she was trying to tell me.
I left school uncompleted it when I was seventeen, worked several undesirable jobs and had three children very early.
My art took a back seat to my child rearing and songwriting throughout my twenties.
At age 30 my first marriage ended, so in March 2008, after a year of post-separation depression, I started drawing again.
I realised what my life had neglected and it started a whirlwind of pencil sketches, acrylic and pastel paintings and photography.
On 2009 destiny's hand fell on me, when the art that I was creating led me to meet my amazing wife Claire, also an artist/photographer (who was living 10,000 miles away in the UK) on art website RedBubble.
I was certain that I wanted art to become my career so In 2011 I began studying for a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree at Adelaide Central School of Art.
I now live in beautiful Port Willunga, South Australia with my wife Claire and my three children.
While you're here, please take the time to check out the gallery of my talented wife Claire Aberlé

Pleasant stay!
Arrived too early for check in but we were pointed in the direction of coffee/tea which was a nice touch.
Staff were very polite and friendly, room was very clean and quiet (our room was near a train line but we didn't really notice it at all).
The only negative, and it's only a small thing, was a slightly smokey smell to the room. We think it was from the previous occupants as nothing specifically smelt of smoke, it was just in the air...perhaps in need of a bit more ventilation. Would definitely stay there again!

Great hotel stay in Chester
Myself and my partner booked a room at the Holiday Inn for Valentines weekend and we had an absolutely lovely stay.
The rooms were clean, beds were comfy, and I believe we paid the appropriate price for our 1 night stay. As we were only staying one night we didn't experience much customer service, or food service, however the staff were quick to check us in and we had no issues whilst there.

From Psychotic to Psychedelic: The Garage Contribution to Psychedelia
Abstract:This paper examines the influence, musical characteristics, and lyrical themes of garage psych songs recorded between 1965 and 1967. Through an examination of key garage psych songs, we determine that the musical and technological innovations of the late garage era resulted in the production of two types of psychedelic garage songs. These two types of song differ in how they frame the psychedelic experience for their listeners.

Intel's dominance was due to illegal tactics when netburst was their thing. Since Core 2, and especially since Nehalem, they've been tops in per-core performance. Then AMD pulled a Netburst and created Bulldozer and haven't been even close to competitive.
I know they don't have the resources to compete equally, but I'd really like AMD to be a contender again.

Estimates of life expectancy assist physicians and patients in medical decision-making. The time-delayed benefits for many medical treatments make an older adult's life expectancy estimate particularly important for physicians. The purpose of this study is to assess older adults' beliefs about physician-estimated life expectancy.
We performed a mixed qualitative-quantitative cross-sectional study in which 116 healthy adults aged 70+ were recruited from two local retirement communities. We interviewed them regarding their beliefs about physician-estimated life expectancy in the context of a larger study on cancer screening beliefs. Semi-structured interviews of 80 minutes average duration were performed in private locations convenient to participants. Demographic characteristics as well as cancer screening beliefs and beliefs about life expectancy were measured. Two independent researchers reviewed the open-ended responses and recorded the most common themes. The research team resolved disagreements by consensus.
This article reports the life-expectancy results portion of the larger study. The study group (n = 116) was comprised of healthy, well-educated older adults, with almost a third over 85 years old, and none meeting criteria for dementia. Sixty-four percent (n = 73) felt that their physicians could not correctly estimate their life expectancy. Sixty-six percent (n = 75) wanted their physicians to talk with them about their life expectancy. The themes that emerged from our study indicate that discussions of life expectancy could help older adults plan for the future, maintain open communication with their physicians, and provide them knowledge about their medical conditions.
The majority of the healthy older adults in this study were open to discussions about life expectancy in the context of discussing cancer screening tests, despite awareness that their physicians' estimates could be inaccurate. Since about a third of participants perceived these discussions as not useful or even harmful, physicians should first ascertain patients' preferences before discussing their life expectancies.
Estimates of life expectancy assist physicians and patients in medical decision-making [1]. The time-delayed benefits for many medical treatments, such as cancer screening, make an older adult's life expectancy estimate particularly important. To address this, the American Geriatrics Society and others recommend using life expectancy to guide medical decision-making in health screening [2-4].
Despite these recommendations, physician inaccuracy at predicting patients' life expectancies in a variety of illnesses has been detailed [5-9]. This inaccuracy has been attributed to factors such as physician uncertainty and personal optimism [10], both conscious and unconscious [11]. In one study, physicians overestimated survival by at least a factor of 5 in terminally ill patients [12]. When asked to respond to questions about life expectancy, a group of oncologists always responded with disclaimers about their predictions [13]. Therefore, while physicians are encouraged to use life expectancy estimates to guide decision making, they may feel unskilled, ill-equipped, and uncomfortable with the task [11,14-17].
Although physicians may feel uncomfortable making these estimates, many older adults may want estimates about their life expectancy from their physicians. The President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine found that 75% of adults 65 and older preferred to be given a "realistic estimate" of their life expectancy [18]. In a recent survey of 205 terminally ill older adults, 55% reported wanting to discuss their life expectancy with their physicians [19]. Eighty-one percent of 2331 terminally ill older adults over the age of 70 reported that they wanted as much information as possible [20].
The literature in this area is sparse and primarily addresses older adults' desires for life expectancy estimates at the end of life, not in the context of screening decisions. Furthermore, it is unclear from previous studies whether older adults would want physicians to provide life expectancy estimates if they believe these estimates to be inaccurate. The purpose of this study is to assess healthy older adults' beliefs about physicians' ability to estimate their life expectancy and whether or not they desire to discuss their life expectancy with their physician given these beliefs.
Participants were recruited from the independent living facilities of two local Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) as these individuals were more likely to provide meaningful interviews and represented a sample population likely to have had discussions involving cancer screening and life expectancy. Unlike quantitative data collecting, a qualitative study does not rely on its power to ascertain sample size. Participants in our study continued to be enrolled until no new domains emerged and redundancy was reached. For our larger study, we had a target sample size of 100 to 150 participants which we projected would achieve statistical significance.
Flyers were placed in the clubhouses of the two local CCRCs where residents gather to collect their mail. Interested residents called a provided phone number of one of the researchers (CK) to volunteer. Age greater than 70 and residency in one of the independent living facilities were the only inclusion criteria. Exclusion criteria were any factors that would preclude a meaningful interview such as cognitive impairment, aphasia, profound hearing impairment, language barriers, or participation in pilot interviews. One interviewer performed all interviews in private locations convenient to the participant, usually the participant's home. All visually capable participants gave written informed consent. If the participant was visually impaired, the written consent was read aloud verbatim by the interviewer and the participant was consented in this manner.
The Institutional Review Boards at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and the CCRCs approved the study protocols.
Questions and statements were developed by the authors and pre-tested in a population over 65 years of age from the UNC-CH Ambulatory Care Clinic. The questionnaire contained 22 items and probed a variety of issues regarding cancer screening beliefs and behavior, including life expectancy. The conceptual model used to develop the study instrument was a framework to assess cancer screening, from quantitative information such screening frequencies to the factors that influence cancer screening, including informed decision-making and perceptions of life expectancy. The more emotionally provocative questions and statements were addressed at the end of the questionnaire to avoid biasing further discussions using basic interviewing techniques [21]. The instrument was tested for understanding using cognitive interviewing skills [22] on 49 participants by two of the researchers (CK and HA). Participants were asked to explain each question or statement back to the researcher in their own words, to give their definitions for key terms, to help identify what particular parts of questions or statements gave them difficulty, and to offer advice on possible changes to the survey. Changes to the survey were made according to feedback after every 10–15 patients. Each of the iterations was then retested.
As a part of the comprehensive study, participants were asked to respond to an item on life expectancy that included two statements on a Likert response scale of "strongly disagree", "disagree", "agree", and "strongly agree". Each statement was followed by a probing question. The statements and questions were: 1) "I feel that my main doctor can correctly estimate how long I might live" followed by "Why do you feel that way?"; and 2) "I want my main doctor to talk to me about how long I might live", followed by "Why do you feel the way you do?".
Participant demographics were collected. Participants' physicians' demographics were collected to see if gender of physician and/or participant, length of physician-participant relationship, or physician specialty might influence participant beliefs. Current health status and global function were assessed with a comorbidity questionnaire, based on Katz [23], an Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) questionnaire [24], and a 6-item cognitive screen [25].
Verbal responses were recorded on individual survey questionnaires by the interviewer. All open-ended responses were recorded verbatim in written notes by the investigator (CK). We used an integrated qualitative approach to data collection and a linked method approach to data analysis [26]. A "naïve" qualitative analysis of the data was performed. The analysis is "naïve" in the sense that we did not have a preconceived template as has been done in similar studies [27]. The transcripts will be read for themes and coded.
We used frequencies to describe the demographic characteristics and responses to our two Likert-scaled statements. The data was analyzed by an investigator (CK) and confirmed by another investigator independently (LW). Two investigators (CK and HA) independently coded the open-ended responses after the responses had been blinded. They identified common domains and presented them to the research team. Initial domains were identified during preliminary reading of the responses. The domains were refined and revised based on iterative readings by two investigators (CK and HA). Final domains were reviewed independently by the research group. Internal consistency for domains was assessed by independently rating the transcripts and comparing the coding. Coding discrepancies were discussed with the group and resolved by consensus.
Three domains emerged as most common in both participants' beliefs about the correctness of physician estimates and their desire to discuss these estimates.
Characteristics of the participants are shown in Table Table1.1. The study group was comprised of healthy, well-educated older adults, with almost a third over 85 years old, and none meeting criteria for dementia. We also assessed several characteristics of the physicians identified by the participants as their primary physician. The 116 participants saw 34 different physicians. Of these physicians, 49% were women and 93% were generalists. Only 34% of participants had seen their physicians for more than 5 years.
Sixty-four percent of participants (n = 73) either disagreed (49%) or strongly disagreed (15%) with the statement "I feel that my main doctor can correctly estimate how long I might live". Thirty-six percent (n = 41) either agreed (32%) or strongly agree (4%) with the statement. When asked to explain why, three major domains emerged in comments made by those who both agreed and disagreed. All domains and comments are displayed in Table Table2.2. These domains were: 1) personal experience; 2) physician knowledge; and 3) uncertainty. Comments made by those who disagreed pointed out the complexity and uncertainty of such predictions.
In the 36% of participants who agreed that their doctor could estimate how long they might live, most acknowledged the limitations and uncertainty of making such predictions. No major separate domains emerged that differed between those who disagreed or agreed. Participants often cited more than one domain in their responses. Two participants refused to respond to the first Likert-scaled statement and were removed from only this particular statement but included in all other analyses.
Sixty-six percent of participants (n = 75) either agreed (52%) or strongly agreed (14%) with the statement "I want my main doctor to talk to me about how long I might live". Thirty-four percent (n = 41) either disagreed (29%) or strongly disagreed (5%). Figure Figure11 displays these results stratified by participants' response to the first Likert statement about their beliefs in the accuracy of physician-estimated life expectancy. Of note, the two non-responders to the first statement are not included in this percentage.
While a majority of participants wish to discuss life expectancy, not all of them believe their physicians' estimates, as shown by figure figure1.1. Forty-three participants who want to discuss life-expectancy do not believe their physicians can correctly estimate their life expectancy.
When asked to explain why, three major domains emerged regarding participants' preferences in being told their life expectancy: 1) ability to plan; 2) communication preferences; and 3) knowledge preferences (Table (Table3).3). Comments made by those who wanted to have discussions with their physicians emphasize the positive effect of such information. Comments made by participants who did not want to have discussions demonstrate the potential negative effects of such information.
In this select population, we found that the majority of older adults did not believe their physicians could correctly estimate their life expectancy, but still wanted their physician to discuss their life expectancy with them. This study adds to the existing literature in two ways. First, although previous studies have documented that the majority of older adults desire to discuss life expectancy [18,20,28,29], they have not asked whether older adults believe these estimates to be accurate. Second, these studies were primarily conducted in the terminally ill. Our study, by contrast, assessed the perspectives of healthy older adults in the context of cancer screening decisions.
As cancer screening is one of the most emotionally charged topics in health care screening, our results may underestimate the number of patients willing to discuss life expectancy. More participants may have been willing to discuss life expectancy if it were in a less troublesome context, such as lipid or blood pressure screening. Participants' desire to discuss life expectancy even in relation to such a possibly worrisome subject shows how older adults find life expectancy discussions to be an acceptable part of the physician-patient relationship.
Our results also support the notion that some patients may benefit from discussions of life expectancy for reasons beyond medical decision-making. The themes that emerged from our conversations indicate that discussions of life expectancy could help older adults plan for the future, maintain open communication with their physicians, and provide them knowledge about their medical conditions.
On the other hand, a minority of participants had concerns about having these discussions. Among these was a group who would not believe the accuracy of physician estimates, and therefore would not find the information useful. Others voiced concerns about the effects on their emotional state or their will to live. For these individuals, these concerns could outweigh the potential benefits of having these discussions with their physicians. From these findings, physician reluctance to discuss life expectancy because it may harm the patient's outlook [14-16,19] appears to be warranted for some patients and points out the need for physicians to determine patient preference before discussing the issue.
This study was limited by the small number and select nature of participants. Therefore, these results should be considered preliminary and need to be replicated in a larger, more generalizable sample. Despite this limitation, the results are an important step in understanding the complexity of discussing life expectancy with older adults. Future studies are needed to explore these issues in older adults of differing social and economic backgrounds.
This study expands previous findings by suggesting that healthy older adults may be open to life expectancy discussions and may benefit from them despite awareness that their physicians' estimates could be inaccurate. As approximately one third of patients perceived that these discussions could be harmful, physicians should first ascertain patient preferences before discussing their life expectancies.

We stayed at the Ridge in building E, Rm 3421. Our balcony overlooked the Marina, the Naval facility, the Grand Solmar construction entrance and the infamous barking dogs protecting the Land's End property. The two bedroom Presidential Suite was nicely appointed and the view of the Marina at night was nice. However, if you do not like walking and are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. The clubs across the Marina boom electronic music until 5AM which is when the dogs start barking. We figured out that if we kept the AC on all night, we could overcome the partyfest with white noise. After that we were OK. We are runners and very fit, but the constant up and down to get to our unit from the lobby was even tiring for us. BIG TIP: The street door to the Marina from units D & E at the Ridge is open only from 12PM to 12AM. Keep your visists to downtown and the Marina and you can save a lot of hoofing. Outside of that, you walk all the way around. Adds 15 minutes. Also, if you are OK with a rock scramble and some beach hiking, you can get to Divorce Beach, Lovers Beach and El Arco from Solmar Beach. Also, if you rent a car, you can self park, you do not need to valet.

Directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato follow up Party Monster by returning to the documentary form of their most popular film The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Rather than examining evangelists-cum-gay icons, this time the duo takes aim at the cultural phenomenon that is and was Deep Throat, the hardcore porn film that cost 25,000 dollars to make and grossed over 600-million-dollars world-wide, making it the most successful independent film of all time. The impact of the film on the public's perception of pornography is discussed, as is the unlikely relationship the film had to the Watergate scandal. Actress Linda Lovelace who later denounced Deep Throat, claiming she'd been forced to make it at gunpoint, appears in interviews that were shot just before her fatal 2002 car accident.

BaseForm __init__ doesn't super and so breaks MI Mixins

BaseForm's init method doesn't do a super(...) call to follow up the chain, which breaks writing mixins for ModelForms, as the chain is not followed to the classes to the right of the base classes:
class MyForm(ModelForm, ModelFormMixin):
... do stuff
Inheritance will follow ModelForm up the chain until it hits BaseForm and then stop following up further, but ModelFormMixin is in the mro after the mro of ModelForm and so will never looked at. Just adding a super(BaseForm, self).init(.....) to the BaseForm init will work wonders there ...

This is a bit harder than it looks at first sight. According to http://fuhm.net/super-harmful/ , every single argument should be passed on. However, this obviously won't work when there aren't any mixins around, just object, because object does not accept any arguments in init.
On the other hand, standard subclassing of Form expects all arguments BaseForm itself accepts too.
Depending on the mro, mixins/subclasses will have to accept either *args/kwargs or nothing.
I'm not sure how we should fix this issue.

We could choose a class-based generic views way: add a self.args/self.kwargs parameter (or self._args/self._kwargs maybe)

I would vote for "won't fix" on this. The proper way to write this is:
class MyForm(ModelFormMixin, ModelForm): pass
I don't see a reason why a mixin should be later in MRO then the class it extends. If the mixin is unrelated to ModelForm then putting it in front won't hurt either. This is also how class-based views use mixins.

There are some situations that guess work and creative ideas just aren't good enough.
The Skinny: The U.K.-based manufacturer Verotec has added more products to its family of 19-inch rack products. The company says the new series of EMC screened Veroshild products enable electronics technicians to address specialized installations without having to modify standard racking gear.
Specs: Verotec says the new products are available in a choice of three sizes: 1U high and 10.4 inches deep; 2U high and 14.4 inches deep; and a 3U high unit that measures 14.4 inches deep. According to the company, these rack products complement its Diplomat desktop and tower cases and provide linear attenuation of 110dB up to 10MHz to 40dB at 1GHz. Verotec adds the rack units are made with .9mm zinc-plated steel to maintain electrical conductivity throughout the unit, and the company provides an external 19-inch aluminum front panel to bolster the appearance of the products when mounted in a rack or desktop case.
Solutions: The Veroshield line of rack-mount enclosure products can be used for specialized electronics installations.

News & Interviews for 21
Critic Reviews for 21
All Critics (165) | Top Critics (37) | Fresh (59) | Rotten (106) | DVD (9)
If only director Robert Luketic and screenwriters Peter Steinfeld and Allan Loeb had not opted for glitz. As filmmakers, they're playing for very low stakes.
The whizzo-conceit and slick visual bling do give it an undeniably diverting buzz, yet the movie's cautionary formula shows its hand way before the clunky final reel.
Like the Strip itself, it's all lights and music throbbing so hard you confuse yourself into thinking you're having fun.
Audience Reviews for 21
One of those movies I saw before I was too jaded to just sit back and enjoy a cliched drama once in a while, I will still defend that there is something worthwhile about "21". Maybe it's the cast, with Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne playing the kind of intimidating roles they were born for. Maybe its the infectious, neon Vegas imagery. Maybe its just the music, or the strippers. "21" kept me engaged the first couple times I saw it, so it must have that potential for others.
Super Reviewer
A dynamic cast compiled by the help of one Kevin Spacey. 21 is a swift and smart story that is visually fascinating as it is clever. The film is brought down by the less-than-charismatic drama. Regardless of the uninspiring tone, the film is fair and solid enough to watch and enjoy. 4/5
Super Reviewer
This movie just has so many points at which it should end, but it just keeps going and going and it isn't extremely interesting.

Early Education NSW
Time to invest
The NSW Government spends less on early education and care than any other state and territory. In 2011 it conducted a Review of NSW Government Funding for Early Childhood Education.
The first recommendation of the review was the NSW Government needed to increase its investment in early education and care. This has not happened.
Early education needs a larger slice of the cake.
- Since 2011, the proportion of the NSW education budget that is spent on early education dropped from 3% to under 2%.
- Research shows that two years of early education is the best for children. NSW children used to be able to access two years of funded early education, this has now been cut to one.
- NSW families pay the highest fees for preschool education after subsidies in Australia.
- NSW has the lowest rates of enrolment in a preschool program in the year before school in Australia.

it is gorgeous! :))Don t think it!Just get it!
thanks for the live photos! I really like this dress but I'm a little scared for its fabric and its fit: i can't see it! So please, could you publish also a photo of the skirt and the train?
Thank you

I know that the live photos are really important!The dress is so beautiful!the fabric is so nicely tailored!Unfortunately I got it on standard size and it needs alterations (so I can't send you a photo of it worn) but I'm sure that if you order it with your measures it will fit great!!!the bust is super!!!!The train is extra long by the way!

Thanks for posting photos. It's such a gorgeous dress...congrats! I was just wondering, is the extra fabric that comes from out from the left side of the bust stiff or quite flexible? Could it be tucked into the bra to give a cleaner bustline?
Thank you

Some photos of the beautiful dress
Absolutely stunning dress. Plussize is also very beautifull. Take note about the layers on the front side. Ruffles are made on the side of the dress and meant to pull into the front of the side. The "funny" strapthing on the chest can be hidden, but the dress is actually much prettier when the piece shows. Makes the dress more unique and special and absolutely different from anything else. My only small concern is the fabric (organza) which makes photos difficult if you use a flash..
Stunning dress. I received it very quickly. My measurements fit well. I received many compliments. Very proud that I bought it.
It's official!the dress was incredible!!!A dress that I was not afraid to wear (it didn t cost me a fortune) but I loved to wear it!!!!

so beautiful!! perfact fit!! high quality!! thanks
In een woord: GEWELDIG! Prachtige jurk, mooie stof. Ik heb de jurk in de kleur ivoor besteld, ik was een beetje bang dat deze te gelig zou zijn, dit is gelukkig niet het geval.
De pasvorm is aan het lijfje iets te krap, en dat terwijl ik de jurk een maat groter heb besteld. Gelukkig heb ik nog ruim de tijd om iets af te vallen, dus dat komt helemaal goed.
In one word: AWESOME! Beautiful dress, very nice fabric. I have ordered this dress in ivory, I was a bit scared of the colour being yellowish but this isn't the case at all.
The fitting is a bit too tight at the top, even with a size to big. Luckily I have plenty time to loose a bit of weight so it will be all right.
Questo abito è bellissimo!. Il mio problema, ho il seno prosperoso...mi starà bene la cintura stretta in vita?. Ho paura che lo metta ancora di più in evidenza.
Hello! I would like to order this dress. Could you please tell me how are the customs charges? I'm from Romania.
Thank you!
I love love love my gorgeous gown. It is amazing on thank you so much ..
Delivery was fast. With lots of info and emails on its arrival time. Thanks again. I will definitely buy from you again

Kenyon Martin on the Nuggets training staff: When you (are) dealing with certain things on the summer and you really don't know the people with the right resources to do the certain things…not to knock the Nuggets but I spent the majority of my career there. 7 years. And, for me, the medical staff at the time, besides Steve Hess, wasn't the best. And that's just…the proof is there but…that was then, it's gotten a lot better now from what I'm hearing which is great cause things are evolving. But the things I was going through with my knees and things like that, I don't feel personally like I got the help, besides Steve Hess, that I needed.

Kenyon Martin on Chauncey and Melo "Chauncey calmed everything down. Melo needs a strong point guard. (Strong) minded point guard. And I think Chauncey brought that to the table. Chauncey knew time, score situations. He knew where our scoring was coming from so he got everyone involved the first three quarters and fourth quarter (Melo) gonna do (his) thing. Every other year after that it was like, Melo 1st quarter, Melo 2nd quarter, Melo 3rd quarter, Melo 4th quarter.
Long one of the NBA's most intimidating and confrontational players, Martin explained that his passion stemmed from a childhood battle with stuttering. After being teased by classmates, Martin stood up for himself and carried it over to the basketball court. "It just came to a point to where one day I just drew a line in the sand," Martin said. "'I'm not going to get picked on no more about this.' And if you do, we going to fight. And that's when it started. That's when the aggression — when I drew the line in the sand — I don't know how old I was, but I was just like, 'I'm not taking it no more.' Win, lose or draw, we going to fight. So that's when it started and just transferring all that inner — going on at home, getting picked on in school and the streets and stuff like that, taking all that onto the court."
Despite the bad workout, the Nets still made him the No. 1 pick, but head coach Byron Scott publicly questioned Martin's work ethic early in the season. "I went and talked to Byron," Martin said. "I went in his office, closed the door. 'Listen, this is what it is, man. I'm out here busting my ass for you, for this organization. I'm not healthy right now. Work with me. Like, don't go to the media. Like, why you going to them, f—ing talking to them? They ain't in here doing this s— with us.' "
Martin and Woj also discussed how his reputation impacted the way he was viewed as a player. "Do you think people did not give you the credit for that basketball IQ, for how you thought the game?" Woj asked. "For whatever reason: was it they had preconceived ideas of who you were? Stereotype you? It felt like you never did." "When you throw a few f-bombs or a few four-letter words in between a statement, people tend to block out the statement and the message," Martin said.
