542 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, KS | Directions 6610339.066061 -94.615844
Neighborhoods: Rosedale
Disappointing-food is not fresh. – The food was disappointing. I had the chile rellenos. They were extremely stale and had been overheated in the microwave. Even the chips were stale. The sauce on the chile rellenos was straight-up tomato sauce. My Husband had a burrito and described in the same way. We won't be back
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Inexpensive Mexican food is the specialty at the restaurant that offers cheese enchiladas, tacos and burritos.
BEST MEXICAN FOOD!! – I love this place. It is one of the best places for a quick lunch. The Chimichungas are AMAZING!!!!!
Favorite Mexican Restaurant in KC – We've been going to Sol Azteca, and their sister restaurants in Johnson County - Dos Reales, for over 5 years and have yet to have a bad meal! We have birthdays, anniversary parties, engagement parties there, besides going on our own at least once a month. Service, authentic food, ambiance (esp. Dos Reales) and very inexpensive prices keep us coming back for more!
Delicious – Best on the Blvd. The best fajitas in town. The food is always fantastic and you can't beat the service
El Menu – That has to be the best menu I've ever seen by a restaurant. The choices are endless. It may take a little studying before you can order but the food will have you coming back often enough to get plenty of practice. I especially appreciate the affordable A La Carta choices i.e. 3 soft chicken tacos, 3 chicken enchiladas (about $5 each, goodsize).
Best Kept Secret? – great food, great prices, always arrives quickly. quite possibly the best kept mexican secret in KC.

A few simple steps to help you create the perfect floating garden.
1. Once you decide where to hang your garden (brick or concrete works best, wood or drywall is also okay), measure the wall to determine placement, as if hanging a picture. If it's going in the middle of the wall, measure from the sides to find the center of the wall and make that the center of the garden. Draw lines out from the center the distance of the hanging hardware. Use a level against these lines to make sure the garden will hang straight before you drill.

Must-See Jamaica Bay: Wildlife and Birding
Outdoors & Recreation
by Alyssa Grossman, 05/15/2012
The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is perfect for families in search of a day trip, for bird-watchers and ornithologists—for any lover of nature. Start your trek at the Visitor Contact Station, where you will find all the information you'll need for a day of exploring. The LEED-certified space features colorful exhibits detailing the plants and animals that inhabit Jamaica Bay and background on the area's vibrant history. After picking up a free permit for the trails, venture out with bird walks, cruises, tours and animal information sessions. The variety of creatures here is so vast that more than 60 butterfly species have been spotted, along with a community of horseshoe crabs that's one of the biggest in the Northeast. Just like the animals themselves, opportunities for wildlife viewing aren't confined to the refuge. Marine Park in Brooklyn and Fort Tilden provide alternate opportunities for birders.
Sundays, May 25 and June 23

text: In reading more than 300 books on the subject of health, perusing thousands of articles, websites, and studies, and communicating with thousands of people all over the world for the last 6 years on the subject… I have been funneled increasingly in one universal direction. Like it has for many others, stress has emerged as a repetitive theme in the causation of all kinds of illnesses. Until now, I've stayed away from the psychological and emotional triggers of stress because the purely physiological side is greatly underappreciated. I mean, just say the word "stress" and people naturally think about work stress, divorces, family deaths, and other things that everyone considers stress. Very few think of lack of sleep, attempts at dietary purity, pregnancy, fatty acids, or inflammation as forms of… Read more »

GreatSchools Rating
The school is k-8. It is safe. Students mostly Asian. I do not see and hear any bully situation . This school is very academic. 3-4 pages of homework per day for Kindergarden plus book report. It does not teach too much of the learning foundation. Parents are not very active. The ones active is working very hard. PE, music , art, science are taught by home room teacher for lower grade. I wish I can see more extra curriculum. New principal and new vice principal. Too little space for too many student.
Lawton Alternative is a great school with a very family friendly environment. Our family really loves the staff. All the teachers we've come to know are very nurturing and dedicated to the kids. We've got a new principal and assistant principal and we think they're going to be really good for the school The PTA is active and helps fill the gap left by state funding cuts.
Lawton is a great school. Having transfered both of my children from private school - we found the faculty as strong and engaged as any. The size and K-8 connections are exactly what we wanted and help keep the middle school kids focused and committed. The principle is a good leader and communicator. True that the diversity could be a little more mixed, but, all in all, the kids seem color blind. With a grant to green the school yard, the school just keeps getting better....
We've felt very fortunate that our son has spent eight years at Lawton. His teachers have mostly ranged from the good to the very good; they and the principle have shaped a school community where academic achievement is valued. The K-8 set-up has worked well for us--it was nice not to have the stress of finding a good middle school a couple of years before having to find a good high school.
This is really a great school. You get to know everyone and are really close to everyone for 9 years. The teachers really prepare you and care about you. Currently I am attending Wallenberg and Lawton really prepared me to do well at that school.
My child goes to this school. The principal has very high standards and makes sure that all students achieve. All-around excellent school.
Lawton is a great school. I graduated from this school in 2007. The teachers are really helpful and friendly, and prepare you well for high school. Although there isn't much diversity (the school has mostly Asian students), everyone finds close friends and knows everyone else. The environment is very safe. No one ever really stresses out from homework. About getting into high school, of the students in my graduating class, around 26 students (out of 66, which is nearly half) were accepted into and are currently attending Lowell, and not one person is attending Mission High. A few people even got accepted into private schools. Please consider this school for your child.
My daughter recently transferred to Lawton. It has surpassed my expectations. She is thriving socially and being challenged academically. Teachers are dedicated - your child will not get lost here. Learning disabilities are accomodated. Lack of racial diversity is an issue, but that is a problem throughout the west-side SFUSD schools.
As both alumni & parent pf a current Lawton student, as well as a graduate (he's now a junior at Washington), I can substantiate that the school on the K-5 level is outstanding; the level of education received here far exceeds the standard of the majority of elementary schools in San Francisco. As far as I'm concerned, the middle school staff could use a complete overhaul; no one wants to hear about their Lowell students and their home life...your job is to prepare my child to get into Lowell. The teachers we had in the 80's were much better than what's there currently. Also, as an African-American/Hispanic parent I am astounded by how few children of either race attend Lawton; and no, it's not because we don't know about the school. Ethnic diversity is definitely an issue.
I graduated from this school just recently. This school has taught me so many things and the teachers are just great! Our honor classes teach you more than regular schools. Go Lawton!
Great schools. Teachers make sure that the children know the materials and teach them really well. They try to prepare them for the future, and help them be aware of important things, like environmental issues. Great and wonderful school.
Very involved parent community!
Great principal that has been there for years. Love that the school is small and my child will stay in the same school for 9 years.
Very good school from K-8. Small enough for students to know each other. Academics very good and high test schools.
It is a public school, what can I say. The teachers, however, are for the most part extremely committed and competant. My kids are happy, and I feel safe with them there.
Overall, Lawton is a good school. But what they should improve is the GATE program. It is also a problem of the whole S.F. School District.
I'm extremely disappointed in Lawton school and can't wait to transfer ny child to Presidio Middle(hopefully). The quality of the teachers is low because they practically refuse to answer students' questions and instead refer them to fellow students. Their lackadaisical attitude is going to bring the school down. The biggest falsehood of this school is that it's imagining itself to be a gateway to Lowell. In reality, only two may make it there. The vast majority of Lawton kids wind up in Mission High.
I highly recommend Lawton school -my child attends it. The curriculum for elementary and middle school is very good, and most of the students are considered 'honor' students. What I like most about Lawton is that teachers have very high expectations for the students, which you don't find in other public schools. The strenght of the Lawton is Math and reading skills. Because of its small size, Lawton has a family like environment. Teachers really care about students' academic success.
I have two children attending Lawton and am very happy with the education they are receiving. Lawton has an academic focus and the students move at a fairly quick pace. The teachers supplement the State curriculum with hands-on projects, field trips, school assemblies and special projects. Parent support of the student population is high. Parents support the children in the classroom, by serving on committees, helping on special projects, by fund raising, and reviewing and assisting with homework. Parent participation allows the school to provide educational extras to the student body. Two of my favorite aspects of Lawton are the small size of the school and the fact that is goes through 8th grade. All the faculty know the students and the small size helps the pre-teens stay focused. The middle school students also help out the lower grades with service learning projects, a benefit to all grades.

I find the wireless category to be among the most exciting in headphones. Over the last several years, big advances have been made in this segment, and I expect much more to come. So if you were under the impression that there was no such thing as good wireless headphones--let alone outstanding ones--then connect yourself to your music only via the ether tether of the following headphones. You'll be amazed.
Sleek Audio CT7 W-1 Wireless Custom (starting around $800)
Until I heard the Sennheiser RS 220, the best-sounding wireless headphones I'd heard all used Kleer wireless technology. I've heard a prototype of Sleek Audio's universal-fit in-ear Kleer wireless system, and it was extremely impressive--and that was a few years ago.
A Sleek Audio Kleer wireless system is available with Sleek Audio's CT7 custom-fit in-ear monitor earpieces. The CT7 has been well reviewed on Head-Fi (in both wired and wireless setups), and Sleek has had a few years since last I heard their prototype to further refine their wireless rigs.
Battery life of the Sleek wireless module is rated for at least 10 hours.
I don't think I'll be able to resist a wireless custom-fit IEM.
NOTE: For the CT7, expect to pay about an additional $50.00 to get molds of your ears made at a local audiologist (that you will then send in to Sleek Audio).
"The CT7's midrange follows its bass. It is forward, edgy, and fun. It's got detail. It's got space. It's got bite. It even has softness where needed. You can hear very clearly the small wet sounds of the mouth, stray breaths into the microphone, the gnarled strings of a guitar. It's all there."

Sennheiser MM 450-X Travel (street price around $450.00)
My experience with stereo Bluetooth headphones had not been at all encouraging until I came across the MM 450 Travel. And, this year, Sennheiser further improved this headphone with the MM 450-X. This feature-packed closed-back headphone is one of the best sounding Bluetooth stereo headphone I've heard. No, you won't mistake it for Sennheiser's flagship HD 800, but you also won't believe your music is being piped to you through Bluetooth.
The MM 450-X also has very good active noise cancellation (no, not as good as the Bose QC15's noise cancellation, but still very good), can be used passively (via an included cable) when the battery dies (or when you'd rather not drain its rechargeable battery), includes a very nifty TalkThrough feature that allows you to hear the world around you (using its built-in stereo microphones), can be used as a Bluetooth headset, and has control buttons with which to easily control your calls and music.
New with the MM 450-X is support for the hi-fi Apt-X audio codec, for improved sound quality with other Apt-X-supported devices). In case your computer doesn't support Apt-X, pick up the $60 Sennheiser BTD 500 USB dongle, which will give your Windows or Mac computer Apt-X, A2DP and HSP capabilities. Another improvement I've found with the MM 450-X (versus the MM 450) is a lower noise floor when used wirelessly, and/or with active noise cancellation enabled.
The MM 450-X is powered by a replaceable USB-rechargeable battery, and rated battery life in wireless mode is up to 20 hours of talk time (headset mode), up to 10 hours of listening without noise canceling, and up to eight hours with noise canceling.
I've logged thousands of miles of travel with the Sennheiser MM 450-X, and it has been fantastic for use on buses, planes and trains. Of all the active noise cancelers that Sennheiser currently offers, the MM 450-X offers the best balance of portability, utility and sound, in my opinion.
(We discussed the Sennheiser MM 450 Travel in Episode 007 of Head-Fi TV.)
Sennheiser RS 220 (around $599)
This headphone is a remarkable feat of engineering--a solid bridge between wireless freedom and wired fidelity. If this was easy to do at a reasonable price, it would have been done before, many times over--and that hasn't happened, because it most certainly is not easy to do. Not surprisingly, Sennheiser did it first.
Prior to the RS 220, Sennheiser made valiant strides toward this end, especially with the RS 170 and RS 180, both impressive Kleer-equipped wireless headphones (and both still available). Impressive as the RS 170 and RS 180 were, however, they were a different flavor of awesome, that flavor being outstanding-for-wireless headphones; whereas the RS 220 is an outstanding headphone, period, even by wired standards.
The RS 220's low-latency, bit-perfect wireless transmission means full preservation of dynamic range, and this probably helps explain one area (but certainly not the only area) the RS 220 simply outclasses all other wireless headphones I've heard--diaphanous, delicate detail. It's macrodynamic abilities are also outstanding, but keep in mind that the RS 220 maxes out at 106 decibels (which is plenty high enough for me, and I certainly hope for you, too).
The RS 220 has become my most-used full-sized over-ear headphone, as it gives me the freedom to move around my home office area, moving from my desk to my chaise to my sofa, with fidelity that evokes the sound of a nicely driven Sennheiser HD 600.
The Sennheiser RS 220 uses a NiMH AAA battery that recharges when you place the headphone on its stand/transmitter. Battery life is rated at six to eight hours.
After so many years of expecting this kind of sound only from wired headphones, I still find myself motioning with my hands to move the non-existent headphone cables out of the way as I adjust my seating position. And I still regularly take the RS 220 headphone off my head when I get up from my office chair, forgetting it's wireless. Remarkable.
Logitech UE 9000 ($399.99)
For years, the name "Ultimate Ears" has been synonymous with in-ear monitors, but this year began their foray into over-ear headphones, with the release of three new over-ear models. The UE 9000 is the flagship, and as a passive headphone it is an easy recommendation, with its impressively deep, powerful bass; detailed, relatively uncolored midrange; and smooth treble that's a bit rolled-off way up top. As a passive headphone, the UE 9000 is an outstanding portable, closed around-the-ear headphone. On my wish list for it, though? A bit more treble extension and energy.
Here's the thing, though: The UE 9000 is also an advanced Bluetooth wireless headphone with active noise canceling. Though the UE 9000's active noise canceling circuit's effectiveness falls behind the other premium active noise cancelers in this guide, it's still helps to blunt ambient noise a bit, which is nice to have on top of the UE 9000's excellent passive noise isolation.
The UE 9000's sound signature does change substantially in active mode, though--most notably with a big bass boost. While I've heard other active noise cancelers boost the bass when in noise canceling mode, the UE 9000 does it to a greater degree than most. It's certainly not intolerable to my ears, but compared to its impressive passive performance, it's surprising. Still, even in this mode, the UE 9000 sounds to me like a good bass-heavy headphone.
The UE 9000 as a Bluetooth headphone is good, but keep in mind the aforementioned bass boost comes with this mode (as does active noise canceling, which is always on with Bluetooth). Its performance as a wireless headset for phone calls is good, too.
The UE 9000's build quality feels outstanding, with its ample use of metal, and beefed-up fold-flat hinges. It looks and feels like something built to last. It is also very comfortable, the plush earpads and well-designed headband distributing the UE 9000's weight very well. In my opinion, the UE 9000 is also one of the best looking portable over-ears on the market right now.
The Logitech UE 9000 has a built-in rechargeable battery, good for up to 20 hours of wired listening in active (noise canceling) mode, or up to 10 hours in wireless mode.
Parrot ZIK ($399.95)
The entire flat surface of the ZIK's right earpiece is a capacitive touch panel. Swipe up, volume up. Swipe down, volume down. Swipe forward, track forward. Swipe back, track back. Tap on it, and it'll play/pause your music, or take/end/refuse a phone call. Swiping back or forward during a call switches between calls. As you can imagine, this touch panel alone is a conversation starter. Most important, though, is that this touch panel is a phenomenal user interface, infinitely more intuitive and easy to use than typical on-cable remotes.
In the Parrot Zik's left earpiece is a Near Field Communications (NFC) sensor. If you have a phone with NFC, simply touch it to the ZIK's left earpiece and you're paired.
And there's so much more: The ZIK has active noise canceling that, in my experience, is second only to the Bose QC15's, helped along by four total microphones placed inside and out. Embedded in the right leather-like earpad (which is very comfortable by the way) is a sensor that detects whether you're wearing the ZIK or not--if you take the ZIK off your head, the music pauses (and then resumes when you put the headphone back on); or, if you're on a call, the call is sent to the headset when you take the headphone off, and then automatically resumes headset functionality once it's back on your head. The ZIK is also a Bluetooth wireless headset, and quite good at that, with your outgoing voice sound quality helped along by a jawbone sensor (also in the right earpad). DSP options abound with the ZIK, including something called "Parrot Concert Hall" that allows you to simulate four different sized venues and several different simulated speaker angles, as well as providing a graphic equalizer.
And if you think the ZIK is gorgeous, we're in absolute agreement. The ZIK was designed by legendary product designer Philippe Starck. In Starck style, the ZIK's single-sided metal yokes flow fluidly from headband to earcups, looking like they were poured into place.
There are a few ZIK foibles: The soft-press power button desperately needs a hold-to-turn-on firmware update to prevent accidental power-ups. The ZIK is relatively heavy (considering all the tech packed in, not surprising). The headband may not extend enough for really large heads. Much of the control and customization of the ZIK has to be done through the companion iOS or Android mobile app. The earpads do not look to me to be easily replaceable (if replaceable at all). Its worst fault, though, is its sound quality in its wired, passive mode--simply put, it sounds awful when used passively, so make sure to keep your battery charged.
Fortunately, overall, the ZIK's densely-packed technology and good looks combine to make the ZIK a headphone that sounds exceptional for a wireless Bluetooth active noise canceling headphone. The sound is rich and detailed for this type of headphone, though mildly bass-prominent (which, as a travel headphone, shouldn't be surprising). In its active modes, the ZIK is among the best sounding in both the Bluetooth and active noise canceling categories.
The Parrot ZIK has a replaceable USB-rechargeable battery, and rated battery life is up to 24 hours in standby, up to 18 hours of wired noise canceling use, and up to six hours in wireless mode with all features activated.
Parrot's ZIK is a showcase of a bunch of well-integrated technologies, provides excellent sound for a Bluetooth wireless piece, and packaged in a gorgeous Starck-designed form. The ZIK is an absolutely fantastic first headphone from Parrot.
"[Regarding the accompanying app] I think this is the big wow to get the most value out of the Zik. It enables/disables Noise Cancellation, Surround Sound with various presets, and EQ with some presets again... this is what I like about the Parrot Zik. You can change the soundstage by changing the virtual speaker position, then the depth too."

Sony MDR-1RBT ($399.00)
Sony's new MDR-1RBT, as far as Bluetooth headphones go, is as near to perfect as I've so far used. Why? Built with the same design as the Sony MDR-1R--one of the most comfortable closed headphones I've ever worn--the MDR-1RBT is easy to wear all day, and the most comfortable Bluetooth over-ear I've used. Of all Bluetooth over-ear headphones I've tried, the new Sony has by far the best outgoing voice quality. Its Bluetooth wireless range is outstanding, so when I'm in the middle of a call, I don't worry about how far I'm straying from the phone. The music and call controls are very intuitive to use, second only to the Parrot ZIK's touch panel user interface. Like the Parrot ZIK, the MDR-1RBT also supports NFC pairing.
And its sound? To my ears, the MDR-1RBT is now the top of the Bluetooth heap. Mildly elevated bass, but still well-controlled down low. Midrange that has excellent fleshy presence and detail. And treble that is more extended and refined than any of its competitors. Background noise in wireless mode is also very low, perhaps the quietest background I've heard so far in a Bluetooth headphone. While I feel its passive-only sibling the MDR-1R is the best sounding of the new Sony family of headphones, the MDR-1RBT does a very good job approaching the MDR-1R's performance. In its Bluetooth wireless mode, the MDR-1RBT uses something it calls "S-Master" full digital amplification to drive the headphones, and "DSEE" to improve compressed audio. In the MDR-1RBT, those technologies are doing their job, as, even via Bluetooth, it retains the character of the MDR-1R, which earns it the top spot of all the Bluetooth headphones I've heard so far.
Plug the included audio-only cable in, and the MDR-1RBT becomes a fantastic portable, closed around-the-ear headphone. With sound quality in the MDR-1RBT's passive mode even closer to its passive-only MDR-1R sibling, it's obvious Sony spent as much time and effort getting the MDR-1RBT acoustically tuned as they did perfecting its electronics.
The MDR-1RBT uses an internal rechargeable battery rated for up to 30 hours of listening time, which is astounding. Given its headset functionality, its sound performance in both its Bluetooth wireless and wired passive modes, and its remarkable battery life, the MDR-1RBT is quickly becoming my primary on-the-go headphone.
Its downsides? In passive mode, you give up all the remote control functionality. I wish Sony was able to enable the 1RBT's excellent right-side controls to work in passive mode, but they did not. And the only other downside is my biggest criticism of the 1RBT: It offers no active noise canceling. For a headphone with this much road warrior functionality, the option to enable active noise canceling would have made this headphone the most perfect overall travel headphone on the market. Also in the new Sony line is the Sony MDR-1RNC active noise canceling headphone (which is included in the "Over-Ear Headphones" section of this guide), but it offers no wireless functionality, and compromised passive performance. Oh, to have had the best of both of the MDR-1RBT and MDR-1NC!
Still, when I'm going to be out and about--but not flying or riding a train--the Sony MDR-1RBT is, again, quickly becoming my go-to over-ear.

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - The cost of farmland keeps going up.
A new report shows the average value of farm real estate in North Dakota is at $1,690 per acre.
That's a 36% increase over last year. North Dakota saw the biggest jump in farmland value in the U.S.
However, Iowa reported the highest value of land at $8,400 an acre.
The study was conducted in June by the US Department of Agriculture.

It was also written by an Excel Christian High School sophomore and performed by the school's drama class at Laxalt Theater on W. 2nd St. in Reno recently.
Michelle Gaetke originally wrote the play in order to create a part for her best friend, Excel senior Christina Ellsworth, who continually was stuck in "motherly and kind" roles, when all she wanted to do was play a villain.
Gaetke, who originally found her love of creative writing with the help of her older brother, Benjamin, said she was writing about one scene per week. So it took her about eight weeks to finish "The Ruyan Queen."
"I've always had a fascination with stories and their character development," Gaetke said. "My older brother was a big influence on that, too."
The drama class began recitals in February and performed the approximately 45-minute long play on May 21.
Seeing how the play transformed from her mind to what transpired on stage, was one of the bright points for Gaetke.
"It was really interesting to see how different people, after they read it, did it in different ways than I originally imagined," Gaetke said. "I thought it was pretty good for a small school's drama team. I feel especially blessed that the students actually worked through it because at first it wasn't that easy. The performance was a lot better than I expected it to be."
Currently, Gaetke is in the process of writing a sequel, although it is in book form. Gaetke said she is only a couple chapters into it and it will be awhile before she finishes, but she already knows she prefers that medium over writing a play.
Gaetke also acted in her play, taking on a small role.
"I do like acting a little bit, but I prefer to not be on stage," she said.
With two full years of high school remaining, Gaetke has thought about colleges and majors a little bit, but she is unsure where her talents will take her. She does hope to turn her passion for creative writing into a career down the line.
Gaetke said she also enjoys mathematics in school, and likes the atmosphere at ECHS.
"I like how it is a small school, and the teachers have more time for you," Gaetke said.

I just returned from a creative retreat where I spent the better part of the week blade-smithing and oil painting and I intended to move on to issues other than the current 'pop culture vs. devotional polytheist' Pagan debate. Upon returning, however, I found this brilliant post: http://www.witchesandpagans.com/Pagan-Paths-Blogs/gods-of-consequence.html by Anomalous Thracian, and realized that I wasn't done yet. In light of some of the comments there, I think that perhaps I need to articulate where I'm writing from a little more clearly. Because one thing that's getting lost (purposely, I think) in this debate is that what it really comes down to is those whose practices are devotionally centered on the Holy Powers (Gods and ancestors) and those for whom the human experience, human emotions, human society, the human mind. and most of all human comfort is centric. I actually think that this is the heart of many of the misunderstandings that we're seeing. We're not speaking as one community. We will never speak as one community so long as devotion to the Gods is being marginalized. We will never speak as one community so long as devotional polytheists are expected to accept a certain homogenization of our beliefs, predicated on acceptance of attitudes and practices that to those of us who prioritize the Gods are objectionable. We're not speaking from the same place. We're not even speaking the same devotional language. Instead, we're each fighting to wrest the roots of our various traditions from out of the other's hands.
I will begin by focusing briefly on my own spirituality, because it is not all that out of the ordinary to anyone actually rooted in any sense whatsoever of their own indigenous traditions. That's the kicker isn't it? Some of us are working as hard as possible to restore our traditions and some of us are working only to make themselves feel good. So let me get this out of the way from the start: My polytheism, which informs every aspect of my life, is not people-centric. It is not focused on making human beings feel better about themselves, or about fitting into a nice social group. It is not an excuse for intellectual masturbation, nor do I practice it for my own gratification. It is not always comfortable, and is quite often inconvenient. My polytheism, as I believe devotional polytheism by its very nature should be, is very, very Deity centric. I honor and serve the Gods because it is the right and proper thing to do as an intelligent, responsible adult. While my practice is in part about building community, that community is one centered in devotion to the Holy Powers. That is the only community in which I am interested. I would go so far as to say Paganism that isn't Deity centric isn't Pagan. It might be fun. It might be a intellectually entertaining. It might be a nice, accepting social gathering. It's not, however anything approaching polytheistic spirituality....
One of my teachers in my spiritual path was Hindu. I remember that he had a great devotion to the goddess Durga. Devotion is recog

I used to have pierced ears, but I let the holes close up. I stopped wearing earring as a result because I hate clip ons. I had to bite the bullet since we were attending a very dressy party and I bought these KS clip-ons. Wow! These are the most comfortable things around...no pads needed, whatsoever! And...they are gorgeous!

The oversized single stone with a grey brilliance adds drama and glamor while maintaining a clean uncluttered yet distinctly chick look. the progressive clip is comfortable to wear, the hardware mostly hidden behind the ear lobe. In my seemingly perennial quest to find well made earrings for non pierced ears this was a best find!

If you are looking for a casual black earring to wear with everything, look no further. These earrings are the perfect size, not too big, not too small. They're light and comfortable. Have worn them non stop since receiving them.

I love these! Avoided buying clip ons even though my ear holes are messed up so that I can't wear regular earrings because I thought that they would look bad and hurt. These are great looking and very comfortable for clip ons. They still do pinch a little, but definitely not bad and the mechanism feels high quality. Glad I treated myself!

Correct, and this makes it quite clear that the board of trustee's decision last night had less to do with cleaning up the program and much more to do with PR damage control.
For those keeping score at home, the guy who saw Sandusky raping a 10 year old boy and failed to report it to the police still has his job. The guy who only heard about his friend's awful shower activities from a second hand source - but reported it to the head of the university police department nonetheless - was immediately terminated.
You've really got to be kidding us all.

I ain't.
I'm not sure what you're taking issue with re: my use of "the guy." It's a gender-appropriate descriptor, no?

John O'Brien
I worked at AroundCampus as an intern
Pros – Nothing much I had a pretty terrible experience
Cons – Low pay, they aren't honest about what you're getting yourself into.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
I worked at AroundCampus as an intern for less than a year
Pros – The training program in Chapel Hill allows you to meet lots of other students from across the country
Cons – Door to door sales, products are not good, app doesn't work, have you work some nights but don't get paid extra, pay is very low, lots of hours
Advice to Senior Management – Fix the app and update your products
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at AroundCampus
Pros – I worked for this company for two summers in their internship and yes companies do like the experience you get from the sales training and cold calling sales you do.
Cons – BEWARE OF THE INTERVIEW AND HIRING PROCESS!!! The regional manager will interview you promising the world and how great your life will be with this internship. THEY ARE SALES PEOPLE!!!! They do nothing else other than manage you in the summer and spend the rest of their time finding stupid people all other months of the year to do this internship and make ridiculous promises. The company makes all of its revenues during the summer on the backs of YOU! They send you to do a week long "sales training" in Chapel Hill but anyone with brains can see its just a pep rally to get you hooked into their scheming ways. They pay you $200/week and expect you to work 40 hours per week at least (do the math). They promise you commission but for the two summers I worked there were only a handful out of a hundred who actually had a chance to earn more than that $200. They base it on if they pay or not which you will find out when you get "renewals" that this company has a hard time getting their companies they scam to pay. They talk about how their platform is "top of the line". No, you ask companies for hundreds of dollars for a tiny ad in the back of a student planner that they can see no return from whatsoever. I was also in an organization who had to hand out the thousands of planners they promise to the businesses but that never happened. We would throw away boxes of those planners and still get paid by this company to "hand them out". After working their for two summers I can honestly say that they force their top sellers into doing these positive reviews. The pressure from top management during the summer is unbearable at times. If you want to work for basically nothing asking people for money all day then go ahead and get your "internship". They prey on people just looking for an "internship". If I can get just one person not to do it I would be able to sleep better at night.
Advice to Senior Management – If you pay your people more then they would have more incentive to stay out all day selling and go to those stupid morning and afternoon meetings that accomplish nothing
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at AroundCampus as an intern for less than a year
Pros – I met some very nice students and worked with an amazing team. Really liked the training we got before the sales internship started.
Cons – My manager did not know much about my territory. I was in a "dangerous" environment, walking around and trying to sell. The territories were supposed to be divided evenly so everyone had a fair share, but they were not. It was extremely hot, we had no central location to meet and got parking tickets because we were downtown, very little assistance or aid after we started. I was never told we would be doing cold calls.....
Advice to Senior Management – Definitely spend more time looking into the territories you are sending students out to. The pay is not enough for the time and dedication this job takes on a daily basis. Maybe have a regional manager work with students during the first week, or someone who has done the internship before and was successful. Try to keep moral up. The hardest part was making it through the hot summer days dealing with rude customers.

I worked at AroundCampus as an intern for less than a year
Pros – none, literally absolutely nothing, the worst job i have had in my entire life, and I was successful at it too!
Cons – everything: bad pay, little support, long hours, no chance for middle-tier advancement
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at AroundCampus
Pros – You get the opportunity to see a lot of businesses in your college community.
If you know you want a career in sales, then this would probably be a good option for a summer internship.
I realized what I don't want to do for a career.
Cons – This was the worst job I have ever had. The training did not prepare me whatsoever for the internship, and all they do is go on and on about how this is going to be the best summer job ever. The pay is horrible. I spent more on gas than what I made each week. The job description itself is fairly vague, and I had no idea of what I was actually doing until the first day of work. And the approach to selling is all wrong. They tell you to question the business owner and find out their needs, but they tell you to say the same thing to each owner, regardless of their specified needs. Also, the prices are ridiculously high for reaching such a narrow market. Most business owners will realize that this is a horrible way to actually reach the students and will (wisely) realize that this would be an utter waste of their money. I felt so sleazy the entire time I was trying to sell.
Advice to Senior Management – Tell your interns what they will actually be doing, and set realistic goals. Selling is based on catering to the customer, not throwing them a memorized pitch that doesn't even relate to the business' needs.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at AroundCampus
Pros – Training was effective and an overall good experience.
Cons – Extremely misleading. They talk a fantastic game, but in reality the internship is extremely frustrating and feels as though students are being used in a fruitless environment.

I have been working at AroundCampus
Pros – Training Program in Chapel Hill was awesome.
Learn if sales is the place for you
Decent first internship
Management is very enthusiastic
Paid internship
Work as much or little as you want
Cons – Internship was supposed to end on August 11th we will be working well into the end of august because of our sales deadline
Training felt like freshman orientation
Pay is very minimal for amount of work you are supposed to put in
You are basically there to do the dirty work for the company by making cold calls all day everyday
Advice to Senior Management – Compensate the employees more. We are making under minimum wage. Tell us that there will be deals to be offered before they occur, or better yet let us know about all of the deals that will be offered in training.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at AroundCampus
Pros – You schedule your own work day.
Cons – You are essentially selling ad space in a university planner to local businesses (strictly a sales job, not the marketing and PR job it is presented as). You have to cold call 30 businesses a day and often deal with former clients who have been dissatisfied, as they are rarely happy with their ad's success.
Advice to Senior Management – Some of the managers are very good, but others lack organization. My regional manager did not give my sales team the information and paperwork we needed early enough in the internship to give us a chance to make our sales goal. Later in the summer, this manager ended up leaving the company without any warning which was also very disruptive.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Anyway, before the 200th episode taped, Nigel Lythgoe, the staff of "SYTYCD," and totally adorkable guest judge Zooey Deschanel rolled out a ceremonial cake for the occasion. Of course, none of the actual top 20 dancers, all of whom looked like they'd been thriving on a diet of nothing but organic kale and Simon Cowell's special quail-egg vitamin smoothies all their lives, ate a single fluffy, frosted bite. But of course, the moment was still very, very sweet.
And the "So You Think You Can Dance" celebration didn't end there: This week, Fox also released a "200 Moves in 200 Seconds" video reel packed with some of the past eight seasons' most memorable mini-moments, and seriously, I feel like I burned off a cake's worth of calories just watching it. And now I can't wait to see what moves the Season 9 (and Season 10, and Season 11, and so on) dancers and choreographers come up with next. Viva "SYTYCD"!

Rita and Max Lawrence began the firm Architectural Pottery (1950) to produce and market the pottery container designs of students of LaGardo Tackett, professor at California School of Art. In 1971, the company name was changed to Group Artec and began producing office furniture, public seating, tile, kiosks, modern dinner ware, and building directories (signage). The collection consists of records of the firm Architectural Pottery/Group Artec and includes correspondence, publicity materials, photographic slides and scrapbooks.
Almost a lifetime resident of Los Angeles, Rita Milaw Lawrence was graduated from UCLA in 1940 (political science snd sociology). Earlier that year she was married to Max Lawrence, a New Yorker she met after he moved to Los Angeles following his graduation from City College of New York; in 1950 they began the firm Architectural Pottery to produce and market the pottery container designs of students of LaGardo Tackett, professor at California School of Art; began issuing catalogs in September 1950 featuring products for the new modern postwar styles of architecture, using new design materials, such as fiberglass; the firm had three locations in Los Angeles; subdivisions subsequently added included Architectural Fiberglass (1961), Pro-Artisan (1966), Arcon (1971), Architectural Ceramic Surfaces (1972), and Graphic structures (probably, 1972); in 1971, the company name was changed to Group Artec; the company produced varied products such as office furniture, public seating, tile, kiosks, modern dinner ware, and building directories (signage).In 1972 when architect A. Quincy Jones responded to a query from the Los Angeles Times for a statement about Architectural Pottery, he may also have encapsulated the essence of the manufacturing business established by Rita and Max Lawrence in 1950, as well as the thrust of those times in terms of design influence. In 1950, Los Angeles thrived in a climate of exuberance and what seems now to have been a boundless wellspring of creative energy that spawned a number of new design firms and manufacturers whose products influenced design attitudes, internationally, within the decade. Echoes of that time resound with renewed vibrations today in the questioning minds of researchers who seek to know how it all happened. By Rita Lawrence

Crack it open (I don't think the q3 pk3's are encoded, so just use winrar or whatever. pk3 is derived from zip. If it is encoded try quakelivedec) and look for:
And copy to the same location but inside wolfcam-ql.
- sound/player/gibimp1.wav
- sound/player/gibimp2.wav
- sound/player/gibimp3.wav
- sound/player/gibsplt1.wav
*.wav files and not these -> gibimp2.ogg?
Worked on it a bit, i managed to put the link here, let me know whats good / bad in the movie.
P.S. All the hate goes from esr, dont mind it
I'm trying to customize textures for some maps for WolfWhisperer and having difficulty in making them work
So far I've used quakelive dec to convert map.pk3 into .zip files to access and edit the textures.
But nothing happens in WW when I reverse the process to place the edited map.pk3 back in WolfcamQL/baseq3.
Is it not enough just editing the map.pk3 file? :s
i'm having some problems with a couple cvars, anyone out there able to give some advice, please? (using kittenignbition's cfg btw)
1) frag messages very small and on the upper left
2)instead of "you fragged XXX" i get "XXX was electrocuted by ashy"
3)i can hear chat messages but they don't show up in the screen, only the console
4) i can't load the ui at all: i've placed all my hud files in both the baseq3->ui and ui folders and wrote in the cfg
seta cg_hudFiles "ui/ashyhud.cfg" but it wont load anything
5) can't make q3 gibs work: got the q3gibs.pk3 in the baseq3, cl_useq3gibs in the cfg but it wont work
thanks a lot in advance
2: no idea
3: cg_chatbeep 0
4: your hudfiles might need to be in the appdata/roaming/wolfcamql folder. not sure.
5. the .pk3 is in the wrong folder more than likely.
