MCAS Roofing & Contracting recommends at least semi-annual roofing inspections. These should be done in the fall, to get ready for winter, and in the spring to get ready for summer. A professional roofer can assess the situation, determine necessary repairs, and recommend a full roof replacement if the roof is approaching the end of its useful lifespan.
What problems could potentially be uncovered with a Spring Roofing Inspection?
1) Missing Shingles: We have seen high winds this winter in Westchester NY. Already we have had customers in Mt Kisco, Bedford, and Yonkers that had shingles blown off. An owner can do a walk through of their property around the home or commercial building to see if there are any shingles laying around. Additionally they may be able to identify missing shingles with a ground view of the roof. Any missing shingles create a vulnerable area for further damage from moderate to high winds.
2) Clogged Gutters: Clogged gutters, or even breaks in the gutter pipes themselves, are inevitable after the winter here in Westchester NY. Gutters provide water with a safe path off your roofing. They should be cleaned immediately so as the snow melts it has somewhere to go. You otherwise run the risk of ice dams and leaks.
3) Bad Flashing: Is your chimney and roof flashing in good condition? This is generally something that only a professional roofer can assess because they know what to look for. As we have discussed, roof flashing seals the joints and seams in your roofing to prevent water penetration. Flashing should be a solid metal such as copper or aluminum. Any bad flashing should generally be replaced, not just covered with roofing cement. Ice dams may have damaged your flashing over the winter months.
4) Worn Shingles, Slate, Tiles, or Metal Roofing: The winters in the northeast are some of the roughest in the country. Older roofs are susceptible to seeing increasing wear and tear to their roofing materials as the useful life of the roofing material progresses. A Spring Roofing Inspection can help you to assess whether it is in your financial interest to repair the roof's material, or if a full roof replacement is more economical.
5) Rotted Plywood or Rafters: If water has penetrated your roof either this winter or in past winters chances are the plywood under the roofing materials or even the roofing rafters are rotted. It absolutely takes a professional roofer, such as MCAS Roofing, to determine if there is rot because the plywood is not visible under the roofing material. One way you can find clues is to go into your attic. Does it smell damp or moldy? Do you see any fungus on the rafters? If so there is a strong possibility of dry rot that must be quickly addressed. Poor roofing ventilation can also lead to rot.
These are the more common problems that can be uncovered during an inspection of your Westchester NY Residential or Commercial Roof. With a Spring Roofing Inspection from MCAS Roofing & Contracting, you will have the peace of mind to know that a licensed, professional roofer has assessed the situation. Staying on top of roofing maintenance and minor repairs will extend the useful life of your roof and save you money by preventing a minor problem from developing into a bigger one. ASK MCAS today to schedule a Spring Roofing Inspection by calling (914) 455-0976 or emailing email@example.com. Hang in there folks, March is going in like a lion and out like a lamb. We will be on the beaches in the sun in no time! Don't let roofing issues take time away from your summer fun. Let MCAS Roofing & Contracting solve your problems now so you can relax and enjoy the warm weather.

Pesticides updated by Joey Williamson, HGIC Horticulture Extension Agent, Clemson University, 12/17. Originally prepared by Morgan E. Judy, Extension Agent, Orangeburg County, Clemson University. New 05/09.
Common lespedeza, also known as Japanese clover, (Kummerowia striata, syn. Lespedeza striata) is a very common summer weed that can easily choke out thin turf. It is often found in open woods and fields and frequently in disturbed areas and turf.
Lespedeza is a mat-forming, wiry stemmed, prostrate, freely branched summer annual. It has dark green trifoliate (arranged in threes) leaves with three oblong, smooth leaflets. Leaflets have parallel veins nearly at right angles to a prominent mid-vein. Its leaves have smooth edges and a short spur at the tip of each leaflet. Lespedeza has a semi-woody taproot and grows close to the ground, making it difficult to cut with a mower. It flowers in late summer with pink to purple, single flowers found in leaf axils on most of the nodes of the main stems.

Common lespedeza grows well in thin turf and dry, compacted areas. To discourage lespedeza's growth, it is recommended to increase the mowing height and to keep the soil's pH and fertility at correct levels for your turf. For more information on growing healthy turfgrass, see HGIC 1201, Fertilizing Lawns; HGIC 1205, Mowing Lawns; and HGIC 1207, Watering Lawns.
Hand pulling is an option, especially in landscape beds where herbicides pose a possible threat to desirable plants.
In Lawns: Cultural controls should first be implemented before applying herbicides for lespedeza control. However, if after taking steps to modify lawn care techniques, chemical control may still be necessary to further reduce the lespedeza population. Herbicides should be carefully chosen according to turf species and all label instructions followed.
A three-way herbicide can be used on bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass and tall fescue. The active ingredients of a three-way herbicide often include the following broadleaf weed killers: 2,4-D, dicamba, and mecoprop (MCPP). Examples of three-way herbicides are:
Note: Herbicides containing 2,4-D should be applied at a reduced rate on St. Augustinegrass and centipedegrass to prevent damage to these lawns. Read the product label for the number of fluid ounces of the 3-way herbicide to add per gallon of water in a pump-up sprayer. If a second application is needed, apply the herbicide in spot treatments about 10 days later.
In addition to three-way herbicides there are several other herbicides that can be used for lespedeza control in home lawns. Atrazine may be used to control lespedeza in centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass. Examples of products containing atrazine are:
Metsulfuron, such as in Quali-Pro MSM 2500 Herbicide and Manor Herbicide give very good control of Lespedeza in Bermuda, Centipede, St Augustine, and Zoysia lawns. Quali-Pro Fahrenheit Herbicide also contains Metsulfuron along with Discamba. For these three professional products, a non-ionic surfactant, such as Southern Ag Surfactant for Herbicides or Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker Non-Ionic Surfactant, is required at 2 teaspoons per gallon of spray mix for best control. A non-ionic Surfactant will help the Herbicide adhere to the leaves for increased penetration.
The herbicide mix of thiencarbazone, iodosulfuron, and dicamba, as found in Celsius WG Herbicide, is selective to control many broadleaf weeds and several grass weeds in all four of the common warm-season grasses. It cannot be used in fescue lawns, but can be used to remove fescue from warm-season lawns. Apply when annual lespedeza is actively growing and again 2 to 4 weeks later. The addition of a non-ionic surfactant, such as Southern Ag Surfactant for Herbicides or Hy-Yield Spreader Sticker non-Ionic Surfactant, will increase control (see Table 1).
Do not apply metsulfuron to a lawn if over-seeded with annual ryegrass or over-seed for 8 weeks after application. Do not plant woody ornamentals in treated areas for one year after application of metsulfuron. Do not apply metsulfuron herbicides within two times the width of the drip line of desirable hardwood trees.
Note: Read and follow all label instructions when using herbicides. Repeat herbicide applications 10 to 14 days apart may be required for acceptable control. Do not mow within 48 hours after application of most herbicides. Most postemergence herbicides need to dry on the leaf surface before irrigation or rainfall occurs.
CAUTION: Most herbicides should not be applied during spring transition (green-up period of a warm-season turfgrass lawn) or when air temperatures exceed 90 ºF as this can cause severe damage to the turfgrass. A newly seeded lawn should be mowed a minimum of three times before applying an herbicide. Rainfall or irrigation a day or two prior to herbicide application reduces the chance of turfgrass injury and enhances weed uptake of the herbicide.
|St. Augustinegrass
|Tall Fescue
|S = Safe at labeled rates
I = Intermediate safety, use at reduced rates
NR = Not registered for use on and/or damages this turfgrass
D = Fully dormant turf only.
Note: Do not apply postemergence herbicides, except Celsius WG Herbicide, to lawns during the spring green up of turfgrass.
1 This mix of active ingredients requires the addition of 2 teaspoons of a non-ionic surfactant (that is, a wetter-sticker agent to aid in weed control at 0.25% by volume) per gallon of water, such as Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker.
2 Spot treatments to St. Augustinegrass at temperatures above 90 degrees may cause temporary growth regulation.

In Landscapes: If lespedeza is a problem in landscape beds, glyphosate can be used for spot treatments around ornamental plants. Examples of concentrated glyphosate products are:
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide that should be used with caution. Do not allow glyphosate spray mist to contact ornamental foliage or stems as severe injury will occur. A cardboard shield may be used to prevent glyphosate spray from drifting to nearby ornamentals.

Our podcasting partner-in-crime, Matt Miller, is over in Barcelona covering the Mobile World Congress this week and he got a good look at the Readius e-Ink device. It impressed him so much that he's passing up a potential Amazon Kindle purchase and considering this device from Polymer Vision because it can also serve as a cellular phone. I'd be curious to see what kind of eBook content might appear on this device because it sounded like the Polymer Vision folks indicated their own eBook format in the video that Matt shot.
I highly recommend you view the video Matt took; I've watched it twice because something jumped out at me and I wanted to double-check it. From what I can see the device was held the entire time with two hands. I'm sure (well… hoping, really) that this was just for display purposes. Even if so, the device controls look to be usable only by the left hand. I'll have to check with Matt on this one, but a burning question in my mind: can you flip the device so that it can be primarily used with the right hand? Although I would assume so, I don't think I've seen a picture of the device with the screen rotated 180-degrees.

Football: Late-season surge highlights Kelly's first year
Douglas Farmer | Friday, May 20, 2011
After opening his Notre Dame career with an 8-5 season and a bowl victory, all Irish coach Brian Kelly could talk about was year two.
"We still have more things that we have to get done, especially now that we're going to have our players for a full year of weight training and conditioning," Kelly said after Notre Dame topped Miami 33-17 in the Dec. 31 Sun Bowl to close the season. "You're going to see a big jump from our football team, relative to their work volume and what they're able to do for us. You're going to see a huge difference in year two."
Irish fans saw a "huge difference" in year one, though, as Kelly snapped an eight-year losing streak to Southern California, beat a ranked opponent for the first time in Notre Dame's last 11 attempts and won a New Year's Eve bowl game.
Kelly's first "first" came in September with his first victory coaching Notre Dame, a 23-12 win over Purdue Sept. 4.
"[It was a] good way to start the season, obviously," Kelly said following his debut. "There's a lot of firsts here today: first walk from the Basilica, first pep rally. There's a lot going on. At times I wasn't certain if we were going to get lined up for stretching today the right way."
The Irish not only lined up and stretched properly, but also executed both offensively and defensively, jumping to a 20-3 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Junior quarterback Dayne Crist completed 19 of 26 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown, and the Notre Dame running game tallied 153 yards.
Following the encouraging win, the Irish dipped into a bit of a tailspin, losing the next three games: 28-24 to Michigan, 34-31 in overtime at Michigan State and 37-14 to Stanford.
"What do you believe in after a loss like this?" Kelly said following the overtime defeat by the Spartans Sept. 18. "Do you believe in your teammates, do you believe in your coaches, do you believe in the preparation? If you do, you'll come back and we'll work harder and we'll continue to work to get better.
"If you don't believe, then these are times when you start to see teams pull apart. So, it's all about belief at this point."
The losses to Michigan and Michigan State certainly challenged Irish fans' belief, both coming in last-minute, heart-wrenching form.
After Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson tortured the Notre Dame defense all afternoon — finishing with 502 total yards — Crist and junior tight end Kyle Rudolph linked up for a dramatic 95-yard touchdown with less than four minutes remaining to give Notre Dame its first lead of the day. The scamper proved costly, as Rudolph injured his hamstring, effectively ending his season — and his college career. Rudolph later declared for the NFL draft, and the Minnesota Vikings selected him in the second round.
The biggest play of Rudolph's college career was quickly forgotten, though, as Robinson unflinchingly put together a 72-yard drive in only 3:14 to retake the lead and the game, with only 27 seconds remaining.
A week later, Michigan State and Notre Dame traded touchdowns for four quarters before Irish senior kicker David Ruffer gave Notre Dame a three-point lead in overtime. A few minutes later, the Spartans lined up for a field goal of their own, only to instead fake it, running a play known as "Little Giants," for a 29-yard touchdown.
During the slugfest, Crist threw 55 passes, completing 32 of them for 369 yards and four touchdowns, while Michigan State tallied 203 total rushing yards.
"I think [the offense took another step this week]," Crist said. "I think that when we watch it tomorrow, that will be one of the positives. But we're always going to look back and think, 'What if we made a play here or there, or executed a little better, what would have happened?'"
To close September, Notre Dame took a few steps backward, at one point trailing Stanford 34-6.
"Stanford deserved today's win," Kelly said. "That is a fine football team."
After the thorough disappointment dropped the Irish to 1-3, the tide turned, to the tune of a three-game winning streak: 31-13 at Boston College, 23-17 over Pittsburgh and 44-20 against Western Michigan.
"Happy. Happy, happy, happy," Kelly said following the Boston College victory. "Everybody's happy in Notre Dame land. Our boys wanted to win badly. They worked hard at it, and I'm happy that they got a win … We're not there yet, but we're going to keep working every day and continue to work on those things to get better."
The Irish defense held the Eagles to a total of five rushing yards, while forcing two turnovers and 12 Boston College penalties. Yet, Kelly wanted more out of his team.
"Mental and physical toughness, we have to do it," he said. "That's our weakness right now … It's got to be tended to immediately, and our guys are understanding that, and we'll continue to build it."
Continue to build it they did, hardly struggling with the Panthers and rolling right by the Broncos.
"This team was 1-3," Kelly said after raising the Irish record to 4-3. "When we talked about that at that time, you can go in one of two directions at 1-3. You can fall off the cliff and have a disastrous season or you can work toward 9-3."
Working toward 9-3 became a dream rather than a reality one week later, as Navy gave Notre Dame a clinic on the triple option en route to a 35-17 victory at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Midshipmen ended the day with 373 rushing yards on 60 carries, led by fullback Alexander Teich with 210. Quarterback Ricky Dobbs added 90, and only attempted two passes, completing both for a total of 71 yards, including a 31 yard touchdown to Teich.
To close October, Notre Dame fell to Tulsa 28-27, and suffered perhaps an even tougher loss as Crist tore his ACL and joined Rudolph on the sideline for the rest of the season.
But that would be the last of the losses for Notre Dame in Kelly's inaugural season, which closed with a four-game winning streak: 28-3 over No. 15 Utah, 27-3 over Army at Yankee Stadium in New York City, 20-16 at USC and 33-17 in the bowl game.
Each win seemed to exorcise another demon for the Irish, both for the fans and for the team.
"The senior students needed it as much as the senior student-athletes did," Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick said in May. "On the individual, personal level, I felt so good for the young men who had worked so hard."
The victory over the Trojans flipped the script from early in the season, as Notre Dame scored late and held off a last-minute push, earning the win.
Senior running back Robert Hughes broke into the end zone with 2:23 left, and senior safety Harrison Smith sealed the win with an interception in the final seconds.
"I don't think words do it justice. Everyone's ecstatic," freshman quarterback Tommy Rees said after throwing for two touchdowns in the win. "It's great for the seniors to go out with a win over USC. Words can't describe how everyone's feeling right now."
Rees carried his three-game starting streak and winning streak to El Paso, Texas, to face Miami in the Sun Bowl. When he left for New Year's, he and the Irish had ended the season with a four-game winning streak for the first time since 1992.
"Clearly, we're gaining a lot of confidence," Kelly said. "Miami is a good football team. We've beaten some good football teams later on in the year as we've kind of come together and found our identity."

Volunteering post-floods
Volunteering post-floods
Does anyone know of any organisations that need volunteers to help with post-flood work in Cambodia? We would like to help but don't have the money to donate.
#1 Tessa123 has been a member since 11/9/2011. Posts: 4
It's great that you want to help out in Cambodia. It is a wonderful way to meet the great people there :)
That said, please be aware that corruption is a HUGE problem in Cambodia. Honestly just about everyone I know who has had long term experience with NGOs in Cambodia (whether they are owned by Westerners or Cambodia) has found evidence of corruption to varying degrees. The only reason I tell you this is so you can be aware and not unwittingly support the worst aspects of Cambodia. Cambodians are wonderful people on the whole but some of the orphanages you may be offered to work in are little more than tourists attractions.
The only organisation in Cambodia that I have 100% faith in is this one: http://tsccp.moonfruit.com/ - it is run by an Australian woman called Tara and her Cambodian fiance Sopheap Chan (check his recommendations out on the tuk tuk thread!) and I trust them completely. They are often looking for volunteers so have a look and see what you think. Their village was quite badly affected by the floods so they may well need some help there :)
Best of luck and if you would like any more info or have questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Hey Tessa - I met a girl who was looking for volunteering, but she only had a small amount of time and so no one was interested to take her on. So what she did in the end was travel up to the north in Kratie where the flooding was brutal and stayed in the home-stays. She stayed in the homes to experience the daily-life and helped the family re-crop their rice and maintain the crops. i caught her sanding down the over-used canoe of the family, which was primary mode of transport during the time.
It's a great idea I thought. home-stay is only $3 and the families need a supplementary income to balance out their sale of the seasons depleted level of crops. you see?
You can find home-stays through this organisation: http://www.mekongdiscoverytrail.com/html/home.html

try and experiment. google the phrase 'help kids in cambodia' or 'help orphans in cambodia.' open their donation page or their "how you can help" page and compare it with the site suggested above at:
notice that they are 99% duplicates. the reason for this is that ngos follow a pattern here in cambodia. one ngo follows the pattern of another ngo that is successful. volunteers come and offer to build newer and better fund raising web pages.
last year i published the financial information of a fake orphanage called "HOA" operated by two men, sokheng and phearom. previously the many sponsors could not obtain accountability about their contributions. when i published the financial data, the fake orphanage closed and all the children went home and stayed with their PARENTS.
sorry to sound cynical. but all of the ngos and orphanages i have visited in cambodia are just businesses that advertise poor kids. kngo in battambang, operated by sun saveth is an example. he pretends to be poor, but he owns a huge house estimated at $250,000 which was paid for by money from volunteers who thought they were helping kids in the village.
the only way you can be sure that you are helping people is to go far away from the cities where most foreigners get stranded among the tuktuk drivers with sick mothers who can't go to the hospital and 5 poor kids who can't go to school. most foreigners never get more than 15 km out of town.
the real and important need in cambodia is rural. there are villages in cambodia that are 50 km from the nearest market, pharmacy, or hospital. the people squeeze a bare bones living out of the overworked rice fields. keep 60% of their harvest to eat and sell 40% at the market to get a little money. those rural families are lucky if they get $600 per year for grueling hard work.
it's hard to do, but have to fight your way out of the city, past all the scheming tuktuk drivers and fake orphanages. you have to get out into the most rural villages. people will be surprised. kids will cry because they are afraid of foreigners. it's an uphill climb. if you are not stressed to the breaking point, if there is a kindly english-speaking cambodian man by your side assisting you, then you are being bamboozled. you are being taken for a ride to his bank. you are not helping anybody. that's the reality in cambodia.
i see leaders of bogus ngos meeting tourists who found their websites online and decided to make a contribution. they meet in the air conditioned "lucky mall" cafe and hand over money and computers. they tell the bogus ngo leaders their plans to improve the school or the orphanage. the ngo leaders nod their heads. the tourists leave feeling like they have done a heroic deed. what they have done is line the pockets of a corrupt school director. or a man who borrows kids from parent who don't really want them, dresses them in rags to advertise poverty.

How is/How was High School for you?
I know that there is a school/uni thread or something of that nature already.
But I wanted to start a new topic specifically about the 4 year institution that shapes prepubescent teenagers into working members of society. (That's the idea, anyway.) If you are in High School, how is it for you? Is the experience fun? Do you wish the school days would never end? Or is it the opposite?
I pose the same question to posters who have already graduated from HS and would like to share their opinions on the experience. Are you thankful that you are out of that dump? Or do you find yourself wanting to go back to those blissful days?
I graduate on Friday and I didn't like my High School experience at all, haha. I'm wondering how other people feel/or have felt about High School?
high school can be fun, some of your friends may change like some may start smoking and stuff. u should really get into joining the high school clubs
Eh...some tiny parts of it are fun (friends and anytime not class), but most of the time (class) I unconsciously want to shoot myself. My conscious mind was conditioned to um...like school.
All the high schoolers I ever knew were well into "pubescent" O.o
Fun is where you look for it mostly... if the classes were fun it was because the people and teacher made it that way (my physics teacher was hilarious and my senior humanities class was a riot). On the other hand, "health" was moment-by-moment cliche of all the bad comedies of health class.
The German teacher was a level 60 nazi but the class had fun anyway (she liked our "3 Stooges" interpretation of a hitler and co. speech for our senior project).
I had fun in marching/symphonic band...
Otherwise, I was in the "geek/other" clique which had all the bright people that didn't fit into the "stoner/cowboy/football/fashionqueen" dominant cliques.
I enjoyed college a hell of a lot more though.
Yeah... I'm a mere two/three weeks (or so) from graduation. It's June 9th, w00t! :D (I'm too lazy to count exact days)
Then I'll be able to get out of this dump--- er, *cough cough* I mean, wonderfully stimulating environment... :innocent:
But seriously, high school has been so-so. Despite the 3 AP classes I took thisyear, I was (and am) still bored out of my mind. Have you ever been so bored it's physically painful? I have been. AP English was so bored one day that I thought I was going to suffer cardiac arrest or something.
I suppose I'll miss my school a little, but only for the security and familiarity. Given that my class size has been ~77 for the past 5 years with the EXACT SAME PEOPLE, I'm glad to finally have to opportunity to go out into the world and meet new people! :rolleyes:
Edit: Oh, btw, I'm going on an internship. It's going to be at my mom's company, under some biochemist that works to make sure that your medical implants don't do something funny to you, say, 10 or 20 years down the road. It should be a great experience and taste of the real world!
High school... bleh. Didn't really like it. Didn't mind it, the days just passed by. We don't really have these specific cliques in my old school. It was either you were with the giant "in" group or you were out and either had your own mini-groups (few people) or you had no group and was a loner.
I just had my own little group and I didn't join any clubs either. Didn't mind lessons, easier then what I'm doing now (although I found it hard at the time). If anything, the number one thing that got to me was the immaturity.
College/University is more of a blessing that we have a lecture hall full of people and they all go quiet straight away without the lecturer saying anything. (Except for the occasional few people who get sent out for not being able to stop talking) Working with people who actually want to study is how I prefer it. That said however, it's even harder to make friends in college if you don't have that active outgoing personality.
PS: Early Congratulations to you, Spectacular_Insanity ^^ and any AS members Graduating this May (to the Members not living in the US too or when ever you graduate this year; I only know the US's school period :()
High school sucked...4 classes of the underworld each day...
Good thing I've been out of that Hell Hall for a good 2-3 years
Stay with the friends you can trust. Stay "Above-The-Influence"
Alright lets see...ehmm in America you have elementary school first...then Junior high school...then high school and then college
(had to look it up on wikipedia ^^")
So in my country I go to high school next year. ><"
Hope its not gonna be to bad. X(
Best four years of my education period. :D Too many memorable events to list everything here in detail, but let me put it this way. When I meet up with my friends, we still have fun remembering what happened to us during those four years. The friendships I forged during those four years were the best ones I had so far.
I had a classmate who was a ventriloquist (and he frequently tricked the teacher into thinking that some other student was doing the talking).
My Literature class was a motley crew of 11 students from 2 classes (the other 390+ students chose History). So we had no classroom! :heh: We held our lessons wherever there was space. :heh:
The adventures I had under our militaristic Scout Master. :heh: Wading through latrine-polluted mud, building a suspension bridge without safety lines, constructing a medieval catapult, having a five-storey high flagpole collapsed onto me, etc... the blood and sweat of my ECA-life. :heh:
The teachers were a fun bunch too, and even they agreed that my class was the most fun to teach. :naughty:
Of course, there were also the "drama events", such as the time when a schoolmate stabbed another guy with a sharpened comb, or how a classmate stabbed me in the thigh with a pencil because I refused to lend him my colour-pencils, and the countless fistfights and scuffles that broke out from time to time. :heh:
All in all though, it was a very positive period during my life. The only possible complaint I could have about it is that it was an all-boys school. :heh:
I was always anxious to graduate, but high school was still a blast. I moved to a smaller town when I was a sophomore and was lucky to fall into a really tight knit group of friends that were just as eccentric as me... My uni is huge though and I kinda miss the closeness of a small school.
Anyway, congratulations to all who are graduating!
Here the equivalent of high school is for students 17-18 (not counting polytechnic, that would be 17-19)... If it was for that time in my life from 13-16, known as "secondary school" here, I have to say the last two years of that were by far the best of my life so far - I had a class which was probably the closest a class could ever get to my ideal one, full of genuinely interesting and fun people. I changed a lot that year, became a lot more independant, proactive, genuinely interested in learning and getting to know other people - needless to say my grades improved significantly as well.
But if you're talking about high school (i.e. now) from 17-18, then... ugh. I hate it. I want to get out of it ASAP. Let's just say that I can't get along with most of my class and most of them don't get along with me, the lessons are painfully uninteresting and most of my teachers are depressingly dry, and so much of the emphasis is on getting good marks rather than creative learning... and well, I wisely decided to take a subject combination that has two courseworks for the national exam.
Unlike you American folks graduating in the middle of this year, I have all the way until November until my exams finish... orz
It's not like I dislike studying, but I simply can't get the disturbingly fanatic way some people do it. I guess I'm just lazy >_> Too bad.
Secondary school for me here in Malaysia (( there's really no "high", just upper and lower secondary )) was great. There were ups and downs, but really, life's not enjoyable without flaws or hardships. It's through adversities that we learn, experience and see things different.
Since I shifted classes on 2 occasions to improved and declining performance, I had opportunities to meet more friends, and learn under more teachers. It was great times. Our English Teacher, who was a Brother formerly teaching in London was awesomely awesome, as his classes almost always derail from syllabuses, and yet we learn new things each time. My Science, Physics, Home Education... So many memorable teachers, and it was saddening seeing them retire.
If there was negativity, I'd say that even though I improved decently overall, I had some inferiority complex from my class's top 15 students. Not only were they all a level above everyone else, I know all of them personally, and I know...they rarely study. They're pros of winging things. They works 1/5th as hard as everyone else, and easily gets a minimum of 85s. The exception of course, is the best student, but considering he's involved in like...30 societies, spends his free time teaching university students maths, takes loads of subjects, and still get an overall of 90 for all of them...I rarely compare myself, but I really envy them.
Regardless, school life...was great. I'm only 18+, but yeah...some things are really just different once you let it go.
it's ok except when your best friends leave than it's like getting your heart ripped into two or millions of pieces trust me because I'm a freshmen and my bro. is leaving as soon as he graudates this year and won't connect with asnyone and it's like my heart was ripped into millions and millions of pieces. but I still Have 3 more years to go.
Just kidding. Im starting to become a bit like that, im worried i might end up like that.
Around here it's 6 years in elementary, 3 in upper school, 3 in upper secondary, and then 3-5 at polytechinc or university.
I kinda liked of my time in the upper secondary, even though the lessons were horribly boring for the most part. Much better, though, when compared to the three years I spend in the hormone-filled upper school. We all were such jackasses.
High school to be honest my first 4 years in it were hell...
i never actually liked it.. people talk behind your back, tease you, steal your tuff and break things for fun...
let alone all the things you have to learn etc. are all study from book methods and you never get to learn anythign you really like, i prefer my current status.. college
Actually my blissful moments were in middle school because after middle school I had to attend a separate high school from my friends. So I was the only new guy I knew.
My high school had it's good moments and bad moments, I hated my first year so I decided I was going to take morning, afternoon, and night classes... even summer school just to graduate early. So I did and it made me miss out on my prom and graduation. Best times were in H.S. summer school, for a loner I was pretty popular with the girls. I always had a bleacher's full of girls cheering for me when I ran track.
After a while you get used to it. Well I guess at least I've gotten used to changing environment in a flash. Though I don't feel that proud about it... I feel I'm a little too "cold-hearted" sometimes.. oh well..
I don't get why everybody has a problem with schuel.. x_X
I think I've seen all kinds of people.. Be they teachers or colleagues..
From whiners to over confident think-I-know-it-all wannabees..
Here we have 5 high school years, and when you get to the 4th you have to choose if you want to follow the other two years with an administraicion orientation, or a normal one.
The first 2 high school years were great, it was all about fun and getting in to trouble. 3th year was the worst, i realized my friends were not good people, and my best friend got angry with me.
And now, 4th year, i chose to follow a normal orientation, so, i'm alone, all my friends chose the other orientation =[ But i'm getting along with other class mate, so i can't say i'm having such a bad moment.

Stuff for the Teen Age, Biblio File
Best Books for Teens 2014!
The New York Public Library is proud to announce its list of the Best Books for Teens 2014! The list includes a selection of 25 novels, non-fiction books, and graphic novels chosen by a committee of Young Adult librarians who work with teens in NYPL's neighborhood branches. From March through November we debated and argued, and ultimately decided on these books. It was a tough call, but we think these 25 titles represent some of the best books out there for teens right now.
This list has a little something for everyone: fantasy, science fiction, realism, humor, romance, history, mystery and suspense. We travel from Imperial Russia into the jungles of Gabon, across the oceans to the Panama Canal, from India over to California, then Iowa and finally to Brooklyn, New York, just to name a few exotic locations. These are stories that illuminate the power of friendship and family, love and betrayal, racial tension, giant insect apocalypses, evil witches, psychedelic bat remains, cryogenically frozen heads and non-cuddly chimpanzees.
Here is the list of titles; be sure to also check out our interactive booklist!

Chennai Open: Tipsarevic too good for Bhambri (Lead)January 5th, 2012 - 11:02 pm ICT by IANS
Chennai, Jan 5 (IANS) Top seed and World No.9 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia broke the Indian hearts with a crushing 6-1, 6-3 win over Yuki Bhambri en route to the quarterfinals of the Aircel Chennai Open here Thursday.
Also advancing to the round of eight was 21-year old wild card from Belgium David Goffin who ousted Andreas Beck of Germany 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, to set up a clash with Tipsarevic.
In the bottom half of the draw, qualifier Yuichi Sugita from Japan romped to a 7-6 (5), 6-4, win over Taipei's Yen-Hsun Lu while second seed from Spain Nicolas Almagro, ranked No.10, received a walk-over as his opponent Steve Darcis pulled out citing a shoulder injury.
The quarterfinal line-up is: Tipsarevic vs Goffin; Stanislas Wawrinka vs Go Soeda; Dodi Sela vs Milos Raonic and Sugita vs Almagro.
Bhambri barely got a toe hold against Tipsarevic and it was a mismatch from the start as the Serbian carried just too much heavy ammunition that the 19-year old Indian, the lowest ranked player in the draw at 345, could not handle.
Bhambri's best moments were in the second set when he was up a breakpoint in the second game, but hit a forehand wide and long to make it deuce. Tipsarevic then slammed a forehand down-the-line winner before Bhambri netted a forehand, trying to angle a shot to the Serbian's backhand to concede the game.
That apart, the 27-year old Tipsarevic was rarely in any spot of bother and though playing well within himself, was still just too good for Bhambri and finished the one-sided contest in just 62 minutes.
The start was ominous for Bhambri as he was broken in the very first game, and twice more in the fifth and seven as Tipsarevic took the first set in just 23 minutes.
Thereafter, Tipsarevic took his foot off the pedal, and a break of serve in the fourth proved sufficient for him to pocket the set for the match.
Almagro was obviously not too pleased that he did not get to play a match as scheduled, especially since he had put in nearly a month's practice prior to his arrival in Chennai.
"In a way, I am happy to be in the quarterfinals of the first tournament of the year without playing, but that is not the way I would like to progress. Not having played a match before the quarterfinals could be a handicap for me," said Almagro.
Looking ahead to the season, Almagro said: "I have a lot of points to defend and one of my goals this season is to again finish in top-10. Also, I would like to improve my game on hard-court. I have won 10 titles (in my career), but all on clay.
"It is one of the reasons I came to Chennai and I hope to do well here. My problem with hard court is more mental and this is where I need to improve."
The results:
Singles (Pre-quarter-finals): 2-Nicolas Almagro (ESP) w/o Steve Darcis (BEL); WC-David Goffin (BEL) bt Andreas Beck (GER) 4-6, 6-4, 6-2; Q-Yuichi Sugita (JPN) bt Yen-Hsun Lu (TPE) 7-6 (5), 6-4; 1-JankoTipsarevic (SRB) bt Yuki Bhambri (IND) 6-1, 6-3.

text: Home > Nation Alcala blames politics for graft raps By Dharel Placido, ABS-CBNnews.com Posted at Feb 05 2013 01:09 PM | Updated as of Feb 05 2013 09:09 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines – Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala believes that the graft and falsification charges filed against him are politically motivated. In a complaint filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, Ramon Talaga Jr. accused Alcala of misappropriating P3.5 million worth of priority development assistance fund (PDAF) when he was still a member of Congress. Talaga said the funds, released in 2008, did not reach the hands of the marginalized farming families under the Sir Pelagio Alcantara Development (Spade) Foundation Inc. Alcala, for his part, said the timing of the filing of complaint is suspect, with the elections just three months away. He also belied Talaga's claim that the farmers did not benefit from the funds. "'Iyan po ay usaping pulitikal... 2008 pa ito, tapos ngayon biglang may lumabas na ganyan kasi po panahon ng pulitika," Alcala told radio dzMM on Tuesday. "Ito nga ang nakapag-pabago ng buhay ng napakaraming pamilya sa amin. Ito ang naging dahilan kung bakit naging sekretaryo ako ng kagawaran. Up to now tuloy-tuloy ang pagpapagamit at pagpapatuloy ng tulong sa magsasaka sa aming lalawigan sa mga nagsisipagtanim." Talaga is running for the mayoral post of Lucena in May against Alcala's nephew, incumbent mayor Roderick Alcala. Late last year, Roderick Alcala replaced Talaga's wife Barbara Ruby as mayor following the issuance of the writ of execution by the Supreme Court (SC). Barbara Ruby was ousted following a decision by the Commission on Elections en banc to annul her proclamation. She filed a motion for reconsideration but the SC finally denied the motion with finality on November 13.

Delhi court rejects plea of brothers accused under POTAApril 5th, 2009 - 2:22 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi, Apr. 5 (ANI): Two suspected members of Pakistan-based militant organization Jaish-e-Mohammed have been refused bail by a Delhi POTA court.
Accused brothers, Raees-uz-Zama and Atique-uz-Zama, had sought release on bail for two months to attend marriage of their younger brother, but a special judge for POTA rejected their plea.
"Keeping in view the circumstances coupled with the gravity of the offences with which the accused were charged with, their plea for interim bail was declined," the judge said.
In their bail applications, the Zama brothers submitted that they were required to make arrangements for the marriage of their brother to be solemnized on April 17, as their mother was an old woman.
The brothers also stated that they have been languishing in jail for more than five years.
However, the Special Cell of Delhi Police argued that the accused were not supposed to perform any religious ceremonies in the marriage, while their parents and other members of the family could look after the arrangements.
Zama brothers were arrested from Sikandrabad in Uttar Pradesh following revelation by suspected JeM terrorists Noor Mohammed Tantray, Pervez Ahmed Mir and Farooz Ahmed
On August 30, 2003, they reportedly were arrested with 10 hand grenades, two grenade shells and one grenade launcher. (ANI)

|Summary, etc.:
| Modern technology is pitted against ancient killers in this scientific thriller James Rollins calls "Jurassic Park set amid the paradox of time travel" Paleontologist Richard Leyster is perfectly content in his position with the Smithsonian excavating dinosaur fossil sites and publishing his findings . . . until the mysterious Harry Griffin appears in his office with a cooler containing the head of a freshly killed Stegosaurus. The enigmatic stranger offers Leyster the opportunity to travel back in time to study living dinosaurs in their original habitats-but with strings attached. Soon, the paleontologist finds himself, along with a select team of colleagues-including his chief rival, the ambitious and often ruthless Dr. Gertrude Salley-making discoveries that would prove impossible working from fossils alone. But when Leyster and his team are stranded in the Cretaceous, they must learn to survive while still keeping alive the joy of scientific discovery. This shocking novel spans hundreds of millions of years and deals with the ultimate fate not only of the dinosaurs but also of all humankind. Nominated for the Locus Award, the Hugo Award, the Campbell Award, and the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Bones of the Earth cements author Michael Swanwick as one of the best and most ambitious writers working in the genre.

Former Queens Of The Stone Age bassist/vocalist Nick Oliveri (also of Kyuss/Kyuss Lives!, etc.) was involved in a standoff with police at his L.A. home last night (July 12th) according to TMZ.com. Apparently the incident started as a domestic dispute between Oliveri and his girlfriend which allegedly turned violent a few days prior.
When she returned to collect her things to move out last night, Oliveri forcibly locked both himself and the unnamed woman in his residence. An apparent standoff then ensued with a S.W.A.T. team being called before Oliveri eventually released both his girlfriend and later gave himself up. He has since been booked on a charge of felony domestic violence and was released after posting $100,000 bail.

George Clooney Reveals Some Unexpected Living Arrangements
Lucky Amal
The things people do for love. George Clooney is the latest star to give up his LA lifestyle for a permanent base in the UK - the village of Sonning in Berkshire, near to Reading, to be exact.
Image: Vantage News
While the location might not sound like the most glamorous, Clooney's excited about the move (which no doubt has a lot to do with British wife Amal's law work), confirming: 'We will move in in a couple of months.'
The couple are currently renovating their nine-bedroom house to add a 12-seater home cinema, swimming pool and entrance gates befitting Hollywood royalty.
But that's not to say they'll be cossetting themselves away.
'There's a great pub we go to,' Clooney admits in an interview to be aired on BBC1's Graham Norton Show tomorrow. 'It's fantastic and we drink all kinds of pints of things.'

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – Nathan Bartel, writer-in-residence at Bethel College this school year, will present the first Faculty Seminar of the year on Monday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. in the chapel of the Administration Building.
Bartel, who is also assistant professor of English, will speak on "Notes toward a reading," a discussion of his poetry and some of the motivation behind it.
"Every Bethel senior must take Basic Issues of Faith and Life," said Bartel, a 2002 Bethel graduate himself. "And, as a final project for that class, each must write his or her 'credo,' a statement of faith.
"The poetic community embraces not the credo but the manifesto, which acts not only as a statement of position but also a defense of a process. I will put forth my manifesto and its manifestations – that is, I will talk about the poems and the process, examining each in the light of the other."
Bartel will also be reading some of his poetry.
Bartel has a B.A. in English from Bethel College and an M.F.A. from the University of Montana at Missoula. He spent seven months, from October 2005-April 2006, as a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass., and has a poetry book manuscript near completion.
All Bethel College Faculty Seminar presentations are free and open to the public. The Bethel College Faculty Seminar series is supported in part by the Earl and Meta Leisy Eymann Endowment. For further information or a copy of the complete Faculty Seminar schedule for 2006-07, contact Christopher Earles at (316) 284-5258 or Sharon Eicher at (316) 284-5319.
Bethel College is a four-year liberal arts college affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. Founded in 1887, it is the oldest Mennonite college in North America. Bethel is known for its academic excellence and has been named a Top Tier college by U.S. News & World Report every year since 1998.

Mother-of-two fined €3,000 for supplying banned slimming pills
A Dublin woman, who began importing and supplying banned slimming tablets which carry serious health risks, has been spared a jail sentence.
Mother-of-two Lydia McCarthy, with an address at Alexandra Place, East Road, East Wall, was fined €3,000 by Judge John O'Neill at Dublin District Court. Judge O'Neill heard she had ordered thousands of "Reduce" slimming pills, which contained an active ingredient that has been withdrawn from markets due to links to strokes and heart problems.
The court heard McCarthy, who pleaded guilty to 16 counts of breaking medicinal products regulations, also had to have her appendix removed as a direct result of her addiction to the slimming pills which she was selling.
She was caught following an investigation by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA), formerly known as the Irish Medicines Board, after a package addressed to her was intercepted.
In evidence Brenda Kirby, an enforcement officer with the HPRA, told the court that on September 7, 2012, a package containing 1,200 Reduce tablets was detained at An Post's Portlaoise depot. The pills were analysed and found to contain Sibutramine, a substance which was withdrawn from EU and US markets because of safety concerns.
Ms Kirby said the woman's home was later searched and another package containing 360 of the capsules was found. It was addressed to another person, the court heard.
When questioned, McCarthy admitted placing adverts on four websites: Donedeal, On-and-gone, Gumtree and Dublin online, offering boxes of the tablets at €70 each. Three witnesses admitted buying from her and that the money was paid into a bank account.
McCarthy was advertising them for sale in boxes of 30, priced at €70 each.
It was estimated that her profit was €5,300.
Judge O'Neill noted her co-operation with the investigation, her financial circumstances and the guilty plea which saved the court time.
He convicted her, imposed fines totalling €3,000 and also said she must continue to pay the balance of the prosecution's outstanding costs within six months.
