Does anyone have any advice for me or can anyone direct me to someplace where I could find the info I am looking for? Thanks so much, Naomi Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Lute Date: 09-09-10 09:20 [Copied from original post: We have 2 gifted kids (7 yr old girl and 10 yr old boy) who are in an accelerated math and language program and also in a special gifted '1/2 hour a day' program at their school in the US. We might have the opportunity of relocating to Wellington (Miramar area) and I would really like to be able to place them in a school were they pay special attention to gifted kids and have special programs for them. I feel that in a regular public school without a special program they might become bored. If anyone has some suggestions of a great school, whether public or private, please let me know. Many thanks!] Hi Naomi, What we might recommend will probably depend on what your children are like - there will be different options depending on whether your children's giftedness is accompanied by a personality that's conformist/quirky/with behavioural issues, etc. A boy my daughter was at kindergarten with moved to Scots College (private, near Miramar) last year because his previous school just couldn't give him all the stimulation his giftedness needed. He's thriving there. So you could look into that. My daughter now goes to Queen Margaret's (also private, not near Miramar) for much the same reason. However, both of them are well-behaved types, and private schools here can be reluctant to accept children with behavioural issues, thus the previous comment. Have you come across the ERO report site (http://www.ero.govt.nz/)? You may be able to find some of the information you're looking for there. You could also look at which Miramar schools have children going to the Gifted Kids Programme (1 day a week) in Newtown (not too far from Miramar). Feel free to email me (just take nospam out of the email address first...) if you want to have an e-chat about it. Cheers, Lute Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Naomi Date: 10-09-10 07:20 Thanks so much Lute for all your info!! My kids are well-behaved too, so I will check does schools out and also that website. This is a good starting point in my research and I will definitely email you, if I have any more questions. Naomi Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Andrew McMillan Date: 20-09-10 18:51 Hi, I know that several schools in the Porirua region have good G&T programmes. My own sons attend Papakowhai, as well as the Rangikura One Day School run by Gifted Education ( http://giftededucation.co.nz/ ), but I have also heard positive reports from parents of children at Plimmerton, Paremata and Pauatahanui schools. I haven't heard *negative* reports from any of the schools that don't begin with 'P' either :-) Regards, Andrew McMillan. Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Andrew McMillan Date: 20-09-10 19:10 Hmmm.. A few clarifying notes... That URL should have been www.georgeparkyncentre.org. Porirua is a coastal city within Greater Wellington, about 20 minutes drive north of central Wellington CBD. My two boys are 12 & 9. The 12 year old has been attending the Gifted Education Centre ODS since he was 6. The younger boy has only been attending for the last 18 months or so. They're very different kids, but they both love it, and the school generally agrees with the approach. Cheers, Andrew McMillan. Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Wendy Date: 20-09-10 20:06 Hi there - once you have narrowed it down, I was glad of the advice when we started this task to ask them whether they have had any experience of gifted children in the last few years (many haven't had any at all), and also their policy on acceleration or grade skipping. I asked this question a bit late even after reading this forum and was immediately thrown into the frustration of closed minds on this subject. Not always the best solution I know but nice to have the option to discuss. Good for you to be doing this research, good luck. Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Sean Date: 20-09-10 21:10 Hi, we've found Cashmere Avenue School to be very supportive. They have a coordinator for Able Children, as well as the 'special needs' (SENCO) staff member, and both - along with the teachers - have been very helpful. The school is also in the process of developing a programme for Able Children. Good luck with your choices! Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Naomi Date: 26-09-10 12:45 Thanks so much Andrew, Wendy and Sean for your replies. It is wonderful to have all these possibilities to check out. I want to be fully prepared for if and when the job offer arrives (hopefully in the next week or so) and to know what my kids possibilities are in NZ in terms of education is our main priority. Thanks again! Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Micheline Date: 06-05-12 01:27 Hello, My husband has been offered a fantastic job in Wellington but before we even consider relocating, would like to know if anyone knows of a school that caters for children/teenagers in the area that do not involve sending them away to private schools? They are in an idyllic situation now in the UK with a school that is within walking distance which satisfies their intellectual needs. I have 3 children, they are 15, 12 and 10 years of age. My eldest in particular would need the stimulation of a program that could challenge her and satisfy her curiosities. The move would be hardest on her as she has good friends here...Thanks! Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: LKM Date: 07-05-12 23:33 Hi Micheline - Just to clarify you ask about "sending them away" to private school. There are a number of private schools in Wellington that are within walking distance of residential locations so you shouldn't perhaps rule them out on that basis? For example Marsden (private secondary school for girls so would work for your 15yo) is reputed to have a good gifted programme and is not far from 4 state funded primary schools (Karori Normal, Karori West, Northland and Kelburn primary schools) within 6-7 drive (1 within 2 min walk) plus a One Day School programme for gifted kids aged 6-12 also only a 5 min drive away. My 10 yo daughter goes to the One Day School but not the other schools so can't talk about them. You can look up government reports on all schools at www.ero.govt.nz to give you some idea. Otari School is also not that far away and runs a Montessori stream if that interests you. Other options could be the Steiner school in Lower Hutt (runs right through primary ans secondary school) or Onslow College for Y9-13 (state funded) which is good for more creative "lateral thinking" kids (and not far from Cashmere Ave primary in Khandallah mentioned above). Queen Margaret mentioned above is a private girls school that goes through to y13 but is right next to Thorndon School which is a really good little state funded primary. Children go to high school in y9 here - normally when they are 13 or close to 13 so your 12 yo might also be going into high school if s/he turns 13 soon? When moving here the best thing to do is work out the school you want and then find a house as schools are zoned. If you live within the zone then the school is obliged to enrol your child. Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Micheline Date: 18-05-12 15:11 Dear LKM, Many thanks for your reply! Sorry for delay in responding, thought the site would notify. I will look into all schools suggested. the "sending away" was what I got from another forum. I realise now there are many other options. Many thanks, Micheline Reply To This Message Re: Wellington schools Author: Mum2Two Date: 22-11-12 06:59 Does anyone have experience of Kelburn and Wadestown primary schools? We have a 2E daughter and are looking at these two suburbs for a move to Wellington.

Producer Marc Shmuger
Who is Marc Shmuger?
Marc Shmuger is an alumnus of Wealeyan University who has risen to be one of the most successful and innovative executives in Hollywood today. He has been a trouper of the film and movie industry for the past 3 decades and his performances are very eminent. Initially he began his career as a co-writer and helped in the production of the film titled "Dead of Winter" which starred Roddy McDowall and Mary Steenburgen. He later transitioned to managing studio where he served different roles between 1991 and 1998.
The rise of producer Marc Shmuger
Marc Shmuger started to rise in fame back in 1998 when he was hired to become the president of the marketing department of Universal pictures. This position exposed him to many duties and increased his network circle. In the year 2000, he was appointed as the vice president of Universal Pictures and later in 2006 he became the president. His prominence can be traced back in 1999 when he helped the Universal Pictures to open a total of 5 consecutive films at position one in the domestic box office becoming the first studio to ever do that. Later in 2000, he enabled Universal to become the first studio to ever to have 4 films in a row with a gross of more than $40 million each during their weekend opening. These achievements are what made him rise to become the Producer Marc Shmuger.
Hits produced by Marc Shmuger
This producer is popularly known for a number of movies that hit the box office. In his tenure as the president of the Universal Picture, he played a fundamental part in the production of hits such as The Bourne Ultimatum, Knocked Up, Despicable Me, Wanted and American Gangster. He was given a task to identify commercially viable forecasts which are worth producing. Being good at what he does, he effectively and efficiently oversaw the production of such movies through a process known as "greenlighting" by the entertainment industry insiders.
Greenlighting a movie or a film usually starts by conducting a close evaluation of a script. Once the script is approved, a careful assessment of the needs and expectations of the studio is carried out. But since the success of a movie does not entirely lie on the skills of a screenwriter, cooperation of other people in the studio is vital. Films executives have a considerable responsibility of ensuring that the film hits the target in the box office release. It is the work of producers like Marc Shmuger to ensure that the scriptwriter, directors, actors and studio staff work together to achieve a common goal.
It was the ability of organizing the nitty-gritties of the studio that made Marc Shmuger able to reshape the film industry. In fact 2 of his developments reshaped the movie industry completely. To start with, he oversaw the restructuring of the 20 year old joint-venture relationship between Universal and UIP to come up with Universal Pictures International which is the first stand-alone company for marketing and distributing film products. Again in 2007, he established the Illumination Entertainment which was more family-based and produced more animation movies.
Whatever Marc Shmuger has done over the years has only made him excel more and improve his fame. Under his management, he has enabled the Universal Pictures to receive 45 Golden Globe nominations, 78 BAFTA nominations and 50 Oscar nominations.

Questions For Family Feud
Family Feud is a popular television game show that first appeared in 1976 with the original host, Richard Dawson. The format of the game is that two separate families will compete against one another by answering questions that earn the highest rankings. One family member from each team will step up to the podium where they will be asked a question. Whoever hits the buzzer first will be allowed to supply an answer for the question, and to then see if the answer ranks among the most popular answers for the particular question. If the person's answer does not show up as the highest rated answers, the other team gets to attempt to get a higher rated answer to gain control of the question. Whoever ranks the highest answer gains control of the initial round of play.
The questions for Family Feud have already been answered by a popular survey before the contestants arrive at the podium, giving the most popular answers for the questions based upon this survey. If a family gives an answer that does not show up in the survey results, then they will receive a strike for their team. Each team is allowed three strikes, just like in baseball. The object is to answer all the questions for Family Feud with the highest rated answers and avoid getting strikes to maintain control of the round. When any team gets three strikes, control of the round of questioning automatically goes to the opposing team.

Blood on the Tracks: DFDL Mekong Loses its Entire Tax Team
Souce: PenhPal.com
26th February 2012
To lose one tax partner may be regarded as a misfortune but to lose the whole team looks like negligence (apologies to Oscar Wilde) but this is what has just happened at leading law firm DFDL Mekong.
DHDL is well known here in Cambodia, as well as having offices in Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, and a number of other minor jurisdictions, such as Singapore.
This unexpected coup has the business community here in Phnom Penh agog and will come as a blow to the DFDL's ambitions, as according to those in the industry, tax is usually very profitable.
This may point to the reason for the divorce: the company has long been dominated by the legal eagles.
The result is the creation of a new tax consultancy, to be called VDB Loi, with offices in the new Hyundai Phnom Penh Tower.
The "VDB" part of the acronym stands for Edwin Van Der Bruggen. Van Der Bruggen has over fifteen year in SE Asia as a tax lawyer, academic, author and adviser to various governments. He has published seven textbooks and over fifty articles, some of which won his accolades,. He was an adviser to Cambodia's Minister of Economy and Finance of Cambodia on the conclusion of double taxation agreements, as well as providing training on tax treaty issues to government officials in a number of other SE Asian countries, including Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. As a tax partner at DFDL he advised on international taxation and won the prestigious "best tax law firm of the year" and "best corporate tax law firm" for the company.
The "Loi" bit stands for Jean Loi, another former partner at DFDL, well known for her long experience in Cambodia, having worked here since 2002. Before that, she was a tax partner with PwC where she oversaw numerous tax audits and appeals, often liaising with top tax officials to settle disputes. Widely respected for her technical tax knowledge and understanding of industry practices, she has assisted tax authorities and industry associations with formulating new policy and drafting tax regulations on a number of issues.
Loi would only comment to say the parting was amicable and that she was honoured to have been a partner at DFDL, as they are an excellent professional services firm."
It is also expected that many of DFDL's tax clients will follow the team to the new company.
The following is the email sent to clients yesterday:
Subject: Farewell from the DFDL Tax Team
Dear Clients,
With mixed feelings of regret and excitement, we would like to inform you that we will be pursuing our career in tax services in a new professional capacity.
Today is our last working day at DFDL.
It is always hard to part from a firm with such excellent reputation as DFDL, and where we had the privilege of being partners, advisors and staff. We leave our friends at DFDL on good terms and we wish them every success!
We have all enjoyed working with you as a client, and we wish to thank you for your loyalty over these past years.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Steven Spielberg's Civil War epic "Lincoln" led the Golden Globes on Thursday with seven nominations, among them best drama, best director for Spielberg and acting honors for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
Tied for second-place with five nominations each, including best drama are Ben Affleck's Iran hostage-crisis thriller "Argo" and Quentin Tarantino's slave-turned-bounty-hunter tale "Django Unchained."
Other best-drama nominees put forward by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association are Ang Lee's shipwreck story "Life of Pi" and Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden manhunt thriller "Zero Dark Thirty."
Nominated for best musical or comedy were: the British retiree adventure "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; the Victor Hugo musical "Les Miserables"; the first-love tale "Moonrise Kingdom"; the fishing romance "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; and the lost-soul romance "Silver Linings Playbook."
Globe attention can give contenders a boost for Hollywood's top honors, the Academy Awards, whose nominations come out Jan. 10, three days before the Globe ceremony.
The directing lineup came entirely from dramatic films, with Affleck, Bigelow, Lee, Spielberg and Tarantino all in the running.
"It's very gratifying to get this many nominations from the HFPA for a film I worked so hard on and am so passionate about. I look forward to having fun at the Golden Globes with my cast mates and fellow nominees," Tarantino said in a statement.
Filmmakers behind best musical or comedy nominees were shut out for director, including Tom Hooper for "Les Miserables" and David O. Russell for "Silver Linings Playbook."
Along with Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in Spielberg's epic, best dramatic actor contenders are Richard Gere as a deceitful Wall Streeter in "Arbitrage"; John Hawkes as a polio victim trying to lose his virginity in "The Sessions"; Joaquin Phoenix as a Navy veteran under the sway of a cult leader in "The Master"; and Denzel Washington as a boozy airline pilot in "Flight."
Dramatic-actress nominees are Jessica Chastain as a CIA analyst hunting Osama bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty"; Marion Cotillard as a whale biologist beset by tragedy in "Rust and Bone"; Helen Mirren as Alfred Hitchcock's strong-minded wife in "Hitchcock"; Naomi Watts as a woman caught up in a devastating tsunami in "The Impossible"; and Rachel Weisz as a woman ruined by an affair in "The Deep Blue Sea."
For musical or comedy actress, the lineup is Emily Blunt as a consultant for a Mideast sheik in "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; Judi Dench as a widow who retires overseas in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; Jennifer Lawrence as a young widow in a new romance in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Maggie Smith as an aging singer in a retirement home in "Quartet"; and Meryl Streep as a wife trying to save her marriage in "Hope Springs."
Nominees for musical or comedy actor are Jack Black as a solicitous mortician in "Bernie"; Bradley Cooper as a troubled man fresh out of a mental hospital in "Silver Linings Playbook"; Hugh Jackman as Hugo's long-suffering hero Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables"; Ewan McGregor as a British fisheries expert in "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; and Bill Murray as Franklin Roosevelt in "Hyde Park on Hudson."
Competing for supporting actor are Alan Arkin as a Hollywood producer helping a CIA operation in "Argo"; Leonardo DiCaprio as a cruel slave owner in "Django Unchained"; Philip Seymour Hoffman as a mesmerizing cult leader in "The Master"; Tommy Lee Jones as firebrand abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens in "Lincoln"; and Christoph Waltz as a genteel bounty hunter in "Django Unchained."
The supporting-actress picks are Amy Adams as a cult leader's devoted wife in "The Master"; Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln in "Lincoln"; Anne Hathaway as a mother fallen into prostitution in "Les Miserables"; Helen Hunt as a sexual surrogate in "The Sessions"; and Nicole Kidman as a trashy mistress of a Death Row inmate in "The Paperboy."
Kidman was a dual nominee, also in the running as best actress in a TV movie or miniseries for "Hemingway & Gellhorn."
"As an actor you look for roles that are rich, complicated, and that stretch you and this year I was blessed to find two," Kidman said in a statement. "To have the chance to play them was a gift in itself and to then be acknowledged this way is icing on the cake."
"Quartet" star Smith also had a second nomination, for supporting actress in a TV series, miniseries or movie for "Downton Abbey."
Snubbed completely was the low-budget critical darling "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which won top honors at last January's Sundance Film Festival. Also shut out was the stripper hit "Magic Mike," which had good buzz for supporting player Matthew McConaughey, who also earned acclaim for roles in "Bernie" and "Killer Joe." Another film to not notch a single nomination was "The Hobbit," a prelude to the "The Lord of the Rings" films, which all got Globe nods.
With three nominations,

The series creator told Deadline that he would change "so many things" about the ABC drama if he had the chance.
"There are certain storylines I shouldn't have done, there are certain actors I shouldn't have cast - guest stars, I mean," he said.
"There are certain flights of fancy I took that were best left on the ground. But I think most anyone who runs an hour-long TV show for any significant amount of time would say the same thing."
Cherry hinted that the rapid pace of series television did not always allow him time to make the best decisions.
"We write them very quickly. We produce them very quickly. And if at the end of the day you can say, 'Well, only a couple sucked', you know, pat yourself on the back a little bit."
The showrunner insisted that he didn't "feel comfortable" discussing his legal dispute with Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan, but added that he is "nothing but grateful" for his experiences on the show.
"People ask me if it's a bittersweet thing, and I say no, it's all sweet," he claimed. "I got to have a TV show that really was the talk of the nation for a while there. So I'm a very lucky guy."
Desperate Housewives recently came to an end, with series finale 'Finishing the Hat' pulling in 11.1m viewers.

Spring Summer 2013
Spring Summer 2013 takes us back to the Seventies and the years of a young Mulberry brand. Inspired by nostalgia of the decade, the posh practicality of Le Style Anglais gets mixed up with the laid-back vibe of ethereal California girls. In the setting of an irreverent English garden, this season's Mulberry girl mixes hazy summer palette of luscious fresh sorbet colours with the covetable luxury of mulberry's rural English craft heritage.
Key silhouettes allude to Seventies shapes and tailoring, re-imagined through Mulberry's eyes. Coats are thrown over summer dresses in contrasting luxurious fabrics with an air of English nonchalance, continuing a tradition of layering textures. Playful tailoring meets classic elegance and refined, luxe detailing is strewn with iconic Mulberry hardware.
For Accessories, inspiration is found from vintage Mulberry styles, reviving and reinventing detailing from the brand's archives. New shapes feature super-practical heritage hardware, and the collection introduces elegant simplicity with new totes and the introduction of new families such as Eliza, Delilah and Cecily.

The county school board had rejected an earlier proposal involving 400 acres from Stansbury and partner John Barnett because the rental fee was too low.
Stansbury and Barnett have not said what they will do with the property.
The lease runs for 25 years.
The property includes Oktibbeha County Lake, and a campground area features camping sites, boat ramps and picnic areas.

Click here if you need magnetic signs for vans
German collectors seem to prefer cards stuck in albums rather than loose. The problem is that the original collectors often filled up spaces by sticking in any spare card they had around, whether it was the right one or not. Also they would use cards issued by different manufacturers to the album issuer. After all, you can't see the back when the card is stuck in. That means you never really know what you have got.

SPCA To Offer Pet Food Bank
Starting Thursday, the Anne Arundel County SPCA will donate pet food to needy families with pets.
The Anne Arundel County Food Bank and the SPCA are teaming up to help local pets in need.
Beginning on Thursday, the SPCA will host a Pet Food Bank, where families in need can pick up food for their furry friends.
"The Pet Food Bank is an offering to the community for anyone who meets the low income requirements to help supplement their pet food purchases for the month," said volunteer and foster coordinator Kim Teter. "So they don't have to choose between keeping the pet and feeding them and their self."
Teter said this is the first time the SPCA has had a Pet Food Bank but it hopes to open up the drive every other Thursday. The event will start this Thursday at 9 a.m.
The SPCA is working with the Anne Arundel County "people food bank," as Teter says, in order to get donations and supplies. Teter said those who come for food will be asked to fill out an application.
"They can get the application at the SPCA or on our website," Teter said. "We can approve the applications on the spot, but we prefer they turn them in ahead of time. However, we won't turn away anyone in need."
Teter said they have a lot of animals that are turned into the SPCA during the holidays because people can no longer afford to take care of them. She is hoping the food bank will help limit the amount of animals that are brought to the shelter.
"We will begin on Thursday and then open up more days at the demand picks up," Teter said. "The food bank has been great with helping us and we are hoping we can help pets and families in need."
The Pet Food Bank will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday at the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, which is located at 1815 Bay Ridge Ave. in Annapolis. Those wishing to pick up food can get an application online or in person.
My Opinion
2:38 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Would love to make donation but the SPCA on Bay Ridge Rd is way too far away from North County, anywhere else we can make donation and what do they want donated?

2:41 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
My Opinion - I would suggest giving them at call to ask what you should do. The number is 410-268-4388 Good luck!

9:55 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
There is another pet food bank in Maryland, Thankful Paws. www.thankfulpaws.org. They can also help needy families. Just call 443 528 3637

I was born and raised in New York City, but spent enough time in India to consider both places my home. That's one thing you should know about me. Another thing you should know about me is that mango is one of my favourite things on this planet.
So. When I was little, we used to go to India a lot during the winter, because Mum and I always had long winter holidays (she was a teacher). One year, we decided to go during the summer for whatever reason, and that was one of the most memorable visits of my life. I had never experienced a proper monsoon season before, and it was incredible! Okay, yes, it was a tad inconvenient that your clothes are never dry, no matter what, for two months; the constant dampness can feel a little icky. But the way the rain transforms the landscape, wow, it's just beautiful. I really wanted to take some video (I was obsessed with my camcorder around that time), but there was no way for me to keep it dry, so I just have my memories.
Anyway. My uncle was really thrilled that we were there during the summer. Do you know, he exclaimed, that we have over 40 varieties of mango? And I'm going to get them for you. And he took his shopping bag and marched out of the house. He didn't exactly return with 40 varieties, but he did find quite a few during his short expedition around our Bombay neighbourhood. There were little ones that you eat regularly, there were fibrous ones and non-fibrous ones, and there were even huge ones the size of a papaya that were so juicy that you consumed them by sticking in a straw and simply squishing the mango as you drank. And I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Yes, exactly: I ate them all.
The next morning, I was brushing my teeth and I glanced up at the mirror. I'm not given to surprised exclamations, and wasn't even at that age, so first my eyes got wide as saucers, and then I burst out laughing, and then I ran off to find my mum. You see, I was orange. It wasn't until years later that I learned about the science behind that in school; at the time, I was just thrilled that I was orange all over. My uncle, who has the deepest dimples you've ever seen and laughs like Ernie from Sesame Street, burst into his typical khee-khee-khee-khee laughter when he saw me, which only set me off again. Mum, mind you, was less than amused, and wouldn't let me eat any more mangos.
Thus endeth my best mango story. Now I reckon we should talk about this tea, eh? =)
Monosyllabic summary: Wow.
Somehow, Butiki Teas have made a vegan rooibos blend smell and taste like mango lassi. As far as I'm concerned, Stacy is some sort of magician. The fragrance and flavour are spot-on, not just for the mango flavour, but for mango lassi. There is no chemical note to the mango, it smells and tastes like either the fruit or a candy (sometimes like one, sometimes like the other), but natural in both cases. I don't have any complaints about this one. The only thing I want to try next time is adding a bit of milk to bring out that creaminess even more.
I only have an ounce of this, so it must have been a freebie with one of my orders, during one of Butiki Teas' "free ounce of your choice" promotions. I must reorder it so I can guzzle this without guilt, and with the reassurance that there's more in the cupboard.
Tea amount: 1.5 tsp/~7g
Water amount: 6oz/~175mL
Additives: 1 tsp/~4.75g Demerara sugar
Mum, by the way, liked the tea, but neither smelled nor tasted mango lassi. Considering she has sharp senses while I often feel like mine are quite dull, I don't understand how that's possible, but there y'go. So in spite of my enthusiasm and conviction, I have to add that your mileage may vary.

From a favourite region in NE Spain.Simple black fruit flavours with an attractive freshness. Worked well with salmon teriyaki, and will with fish pie.A decent gluggy wine at sensible price. Avoids a Spanish problem of keeping a simple wine too long to enable it to be sold as crianza or reserva. Will buy again.
Excellent value you for money. Fruity and full bodied we drank it with roasted beef and it complemented it greatly.
This is a decent wine,Not outstanding but fine for everyday drinking.At the price it is very good value.
This is our low-cost standby red for day-to-day drinking. Good value.
I didn't really enjoy this wine and won't be ordering it again.
Keep up to date with top offers and new arrivals, you could win £100 worth of wine!
Thank you for your comments.Your concerns will be addressed by our customer services team as soon as possible.

1. | Relativism | ||
A worldview common in the West (but held by very few philosophers) which people arive at after very little actual thought. Consists of the notion that there is no single objective truth, and that no one can say anything is true.
Ironically, no one who adheres to relativism can say that relativism is true. Smart person: "How can you objectively claim that there are no objective claims?"
Relativist: *brain melts* "Stop persecuting me, you xenophobe!" |
2. | relativism | ||
a very common belief these days. revolves mainly around the idea, "what is right for you isn't right for me". denies that there is truth at all. many relativists realize that mathematical truths cannot be disproven, but they still susbscribe to the idea that multiple opposing ideas can exist in the same realm and still produce no conflicts. hitler thought it was perfectly fine of him to kill millions of people. obviously, he was a relativist. the people he oppressed obviously didn't have the same veiw, and look at what happened. they were killed.
3. | Relativism | ||
Intellectual laziness. Everything is relative. This means that all belief systems are equally true, except for Christianity and anything remotely pro-western or pro-American.
Also, since relativism holds that there is no center of truth, it is a perfectly valid opinion to say that "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is a better movie than "Citizen Kane", because my opinion is just as valid as yours, even when I don't bother to back it up. |
4. | Relativism | ||
It's relative to the person asking the definition.. Relativism pretty much means What is true for me is true for me and what is true for you is true for you..

Comments about Quill Brand� Letter-Sized Transparent Pockets; Clear:
These pockets are fantastic. I often use them to protect documents that I am taking along in my vehicle to protect them from getting wrinkled or wet. They're great for keeping mail dry when taking them outside in the rain or snow. They're also great for shopping lists, coupons and shopping notes - keeps them all in one place neatly when on the road. I keep finding lots of uses for these - they are now a staple at home and office.

Paul Gray
- 38 years old
- Male
- Born Apr 08, 1972
- Died May 24, 2010
- Des moines, Iowa, United States
Paul Gray
Gray was born in Los Angeles, California. Later his family relocated to Des Moines, Iowa. In his youth, Gray performed in bands such as Nuclear Blast, Vexx, Body Pit, and Inveigh Catharsis.
In June 2003, Gray crashed his car into another vehicle. After police were called to the scene and searched his car, Gray was arrested for possession of cannabis, cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and failure to obey a traffic signal.[1][2]
At the time of his death, he was one of 3 original members of Slipknot remaining in the band, and the only one who had maintained his original role in the band due to Clown's switch from main drums to custom percussion during the early days. He was one of the two members not born in Iowa (the other is Jim Root, who was born in Las Vegas). In 2010 Slipknot released the Download 2009 performance on DVD in memory of Gray.
Besides Slipknot, Gray filled in as bassist for Unida during their 2003 tour, appeared on Drop Dead, Gorgeous' Worse Than a Fairy Tale, toured briefly with Reggie and the Full Effect and appeared on the Roadrunner United project, performing bass on "The Enemy" and "Baptized in the Redemption" from the project's album The All-Star Sessions.
Slipknot awarded Nikki Sixx the "Bassist of the Year" award from the Revolver: Golden Gods event. It was originally going to go to Paul, but it was given to Nikki Sixx because he was second runner up.

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
And if you're running unstable, things are much more easier. You just upgrade once in a while and be happy.
Various notes on /usr unification
Posted Feb 28, 2012 23:57 UTC (Tue) by jspaleta (subscriber, #50639) [Link]
Uhm okay. I guess reports like this are just fantasy right? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=upgr...
The discussion for this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614159 relies heavily on pointing to the release notes on how to avoid the problems encountered.
And I particularly like this upgrade bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598068 "Unfortunately there's no safe solution for it"
I will standby my previous statements as to anyone who thinks that live upgrading is a fire and forget process on any linux distribution. It is not..especially as the use case in question looks more and more like a median end-user usage case(with median end-users as admins) and less like a production server (with knowledgable admins at the helm making sure they do the necessary pre-upgrade prep)
Posted Feb 29, 2012 3:28 UTC (Wed) by foom (subscriber, #14868) [Link]
Now, I don't actually know how things work out in practice for Fedora, but the upgrade page says "Version updates without using anaconda - such as the yum method described here - is unsupported and not recommended!" and "Although upgrades with yum do work, they are not explicitly tested as part of the release process by the Fedora QA and are not documented in the Fedora installation guide."
Maybe that warning is wrong, but it really makes it *sound* like running yum upgrade is something that is not recommended and that is untested. While, in contrast, apt-get on a running system *is* the tested, documented, and supported upgrade mechanism for Debian. They really try to make sure it works properly for most users.

Your Canonical-bashing is a lot better than this.
Posted Feb 29, 2012 11:57 UTC (Wed) by etiennez (guest, #53056) [Link]
Important informations I can remember reading in release notes for example: apt-get/aptitude incompatibility that could cause half your system to be uninstalled, recommended upgrade tool (aptitude vs apt-get) for best result, renaming of hard drive device (hd* => sd*), + lots of useful advices to avoid breaking things (packages you should probably upgrade first, etc).
The squeeze upgrade was quite trouble free IIRC, but it is not always the case.

The following essay is intended as an introductory companion piece to 'American Power', my contribution to 'Young Curators, New Ideas IV', which this year is being held at the Meulensteen Gallery in New York City.
'American Power' includes work by Darren Coffield, Adam Curtis and Jerry Kearns.
'Young Curators, New Ideas IV' has been co-ordinated by Independent Curator Amani Olu. The exhibition is open to the public until August 24th 2012.
For the press release with a list of all the show's participants click here. Reviews and credits can be found at the end of the essay.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has been perceived as having a virtual monopoly over the governing of global affairs, though its means of achieving this have been anything but monolithic. Whereas U.S. policy changes and adapts, the popular imagery of America remains pervasive and enduring. It is the prop by which American values are held in place and disseminated. America's soft power is pop music, Hollywood, sports, cowboys, rock and roll, products, celebrities and cityscapes.
This exhibition does not aim to provide a rigorously historical or political analysis of America's power as a nation. An art exhibition is not best suited to achieve such an aim. It is however, the ideal setting in which to contemplate how power is communicated, envisaged and understood. American Power presents two contemporary artists and one filmmaker for whom the understanding of power is key to their working practice. All three appropriate the imagery and language of newspapers, magazines, film and advertising and recontextualize it in an attempt to expose inherent ideologies and cultural values. They continue to do this at a time during which the global status of America is in flux.
On display in the gallery are two large paintings by American artist Jerry Kearns, Repo Man (1984) and Mortgage (2012), the artist's response to the foreclosure crisis.
Works by British artist Darren Coffield include two silkscreen prints of Marilyn Monroe and Cary Grant, as well as paintings of U.S. icons Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, Andy Warhol and Christopher Reeve as Superman centered around a contemporary vanitas, entitled Not I (2010).
Screened throughout the day is It Felt Like A Kiss (2009) directed by Bafta-award winning filmmaker, Adam Curtis. Through the use of archive footage, music and on screen titles, the film captures the years, specifically 1958 to 1967, during which America's post-war certainties were beginning to unravel. Segments are devoted to the assassination of President Kennedy, the Vietnam War and the counter culture of the 1960s.
Curtis is renowned for his documentary films in which he typically traces the influence, digressions and impact of particular philosophical and political ideas through recent history. It Felt Like A Kiss dispenses with the most familiar aspects of his documentary filmmaking style. Instead of his trademark voiceover and interviews, there is a diverse soundtrack of classic American tracks (including songs by Roy Orbison, Solomon Burke, Bob Dylan, Peggy Lee, Tina Turner, and the Velvet Underground) undulating in between snippets of advertisements, news, documentary footage, and ambient sound. Curtis' narrative is limited to starkly composed screen titles.
In short, It Felt Like A Kiss is the closest thing that Curtis has made to an art-house film. It is an all engrossing audio-visual experience in which Curtis (and indeed the viewer) rapidly builds connections between disperate pieces of footage. In 2009, Curtis teamed up with the theatre production company Punchdrunk to stage an interactive screening of the film at the Manchester International Festival. In order to reach the screening itself, vistors first had to navigate a series of thematically designed rooms and corridoors, prepping them for the film's dissection of the American dream.
The film's credit sequence (above) suggests that Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Saddam Hussein, Lee Harvey Oswald and Enos the Chimp (the first chimpanzee launched into orbit) are all somehow connected, a notion that initially seems absurd. But as the film progresses, the lives of these individuals are shown to have fleetingly touched one another in a series of metaphoric and literal ways. For instance, in one sequence we learn that Osama Bin Laden's favourite television show as a child was Bonanza and that the Manson family set up a commune on the show's disused set. Doris Day's son, the musician Terry Melcher, later met Charles Manson and offered to produce his songs, one of which, we are told, was entitled 'Pretty Girl Cease to Exist'. Curtis visually exploits such uncanny connections to full effect by locating and contrasting serendipitous pieces of footage that brings the film's narrative alive.
Curtis' emphasis on these resonant connections is intended to disrupt our casual conceptualizing of history. Rather than understanding history as a series of linear events punctuated by key individuals at key moments (casually referred to as the 'great man' theory of history), the film forces us to accept that history is infinitely more complex and that our ordering of it (including Curtis') is really our own way of assuring ourselves of any purposefulness or direction that we can read into it. As the film sardonically puts it:
Every day thousands of things happened to thousands of people. Some seemed to be significant and others did not.
All of Curtis' films straddle a fine paradox, for whilst his documentaries aim to legitimize a particular reading of history (i.e. his own), he similuateonsly affirms that all of us effectively construct and impose our own understanding of history ourselves. As Tim Adams of The Observer newspaper eloquently surmised, 'If there has been a theme in Curtis's work…it has been to look at how different elites have tried to impose an ideology on their times, and the tragi-comic consequences of those attempts'.
In the case of It Felt Like A Kiss, the notion of what constitutes individuality, is continually dissected. The film's concludes that our understanding of individuality has become narrow and stifling. It is comprehended only within the terms of free market Capitalism, fulfilling our own personal desires, and the ability to choose as consumers. Against the backdrop of a teenage girl dancing in the dark, Curtis' titles read:
The computers that controlled the Cold War and guided the rockets to the Moon were put to a new use. They started to analyse the credit data of all Americans…so that in the future everyone could be lent money…
Recently, Curtis has become much more vocal in his critique of our current narrow-minded individualism, despite the fact that his documentaries have previously targeted the dangerous allure and simplification of grand ideologies and schemes. In an interview with the Guardian's Katherine Viner, Curtis remarked:
'There's no one like, say, Tolstoy, who wrote of both man in his world and the architecture of his world. Now there is no context, just the feelings of one person… Because now that there's nothing more important than you, how can you ever lose yourself in a grander idea? We're frightened of eccentricity, of loneliness. Individualism just wants to keep the machine stable, leads to a static world and a powerless world'.
Much like Curtis' film editing, Jerry Kearns' paintings conflate and fuse various points in time and space. Each canvas is a universe onto itself, where only isolated fragments are familiar to us. The presence of Ronald Reagan in Repo Man immediatelysituates the painting in the 1980s as does the hammer and sickle earring worn by the zombie. Kearns has chosen to render the scene as an ambigious and abstracted nightmare. Dollar bills are strewn among the floor and the seated figure appears to be bleeding a black substance. Could it be ink, or perhaps oil? What is the meaning of the Santa Claus figure? The 'tick tocks' rendered in reverse clearly suggests a regression, but of what exactly? There is an uncanny parallel between Reagan's and the Soviet zombie's smiles. Should we take this to signify an equating of these two world powers, and if so how can they be equated? Kearns has described himself as an 'ambiguous didactic'. At a glance, the viewer can broadly situate the socio-political perspective of the work, but the composition is rendered so as to be as pregnant and interpretive as possible.
This approach is entirely fitting with Kearns' choice of source material, the media. Images from advertising, films, comic books and television are reappropriated and made into something new. To force an exact narrative upon the finished canvas would constitute a denial of the diverse origins, context and meanings of those various sources. Kearns' key observation is that the imagery with which we are surrounded every day is saturated with varying (and often conflicting) ideology. Kearns' insistence on ambiguity serves as a concrete reminder of this, and his point is directly accentuated by the viewers' own interpretative efforts. Indeed, despite the discernable logic of Kearns' overall compositions, each constituent component resonates in isolation as much as it does as part of a whole.
'Ronald Reagan was our Repo-Man. I felt like the 1950s returned in cowboy Reagan during the 1980s. Under his flag, the American right moved to destroy the legacy of the counter cultural movements'.
To underline this point, Kearns appropriates imagery from 1950s EC (Entertaining Comics) cartoons whose Publisher, William Gaines, was called to appear before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The imagery of such serials as 'The Crypt', 'Haunt' and 'Horror' were deemed by some as anti-American. More saliently, the story lines and rendering of the characters can be understood to have expressed the anxieties of the age, in particular racial tensions, sexual politics and the Cold War. Repo Man depicts a short-circuited age, where the tensions of the 1950s remain. These decade old comic book characters are used by Kearns as conduits for ever present concerns.
The effect is analogous to way Curtis uses select footage of Doris Day and Rock Hudson in order to highlight the discrepancy between the ideal (a Hollywood fantasy) and the real. It Felt Like A Kiss uses scenes from Pillow Talk (1959) and Lover Come Back (1960) in which Rock Hudson's character flirts with Doris Day. Curtis' on screen titles observe that in reality Hudson was a closeted homosexual who married his wife to order to hide his sexuality. The irony of these scenes deflates the apparent freedom of the American Dream, holding it accountable for its actual shortcomings. The film continues to do this in segments devoted to the role of women and African Americans, preempted by the use of Ruth Brown's song 'Oh What A Dream' (which includes the lyric, 'so disappointed, I laid back down. Oh what a dream…I had last night') at the start of the film. Both Curtis and Kearns are keenly concerned with the pervasiveness of media imagery and the attitudes that they can inspire and enforce.
Kearns' latest painting, Mortgage, is his response to the foreclosure crisis. The word 'Mortgage' makes a simple but effective title, the etymology of the word literally being 'death pledge'. An archetypal American home, rendered in three dimensions, is reduced to a flat cut out by the stars shinning directly through its windows. Here, the home, arguably the most important of material possessions, is at its most vulnerable. Attempting to protect it (or perhaps even invade it) is the figure of Christ, dressed as a Cowboy, brandishing a pistol and accompanied by a faithful dog. Though humoursly absurd, the painting retains a sinister edge. We can see that two intruders are present given the shadows depicted on the lawn, but they lack physical presence. Christ himself looks desperately to the skies, the dog gazes in the distance, ears erect. It is clear that neither can actually see these figures approaching. The work embodies our very fear of economic processes. We may be surrounded by bank branches, bills and cash, but for the majority of people, our understanding of the overall mechanisms governing the global economic system remain opaque at best. The painting captures our frustration, desperation and inertia in dealing with the present economic crisis whilst also prompting questions about how economic power operates.
As Kearns' compositions and Curtis' films demonstrate, we are all drawn towards narrative and where there is none, we will attempt to create it ourselves. It is the most effective prop by which we can comfort ourselves with a feeling of completeness and purposefulness. After all, narrative itself has a structure and a linear order, a beginning, middle and end. Curtis acknowledges the power of narrative in almost all of his documentary films, many of which start with the phrase 'this is a story about how…'. Our fondness for narrative accounts for the enduring popularity of 'great man' histories and the classic myths, which distill hugely complex issues. There is a modern phenomenon that offers a similar comfort. It is the celebrity.
The omnipresence of a celebrity is in itself suggestive of their importance and power, even when both may actually be in short supply. Every day we are surrounded by familiar faces who have been deemed significant. We are comforted not only by the familiarity and ordering of these presences, but also the faint suggestion that we too could, one day, be deemed as significant as these figures. It used to be that you were famous for something, a particular attribute, profession or skill. Now individuals can be famous for nothing. Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, reality television stars. All are famous for being famous. The retort that such individuals have earned such status because of their demonstrated business and publicity nous is in itself a highly seditious and hollow exercise. Celebrity is an industry founded on fostering exclusion to create exclusivity. As much as it can be comforting in its familiarity and aspirational value, when in excess, it essentially debases human interaction.
This recent incarnation of celebrity is primarily associated with America, where as the familiar adage goes, 'anyone can make it'. It is therefore unsurprising that the majority of Darren Coffield's distorted portraits are of famous U.S. icons. However, most of Coffield's chosen subjects are of earlier twentieth century figures. We can therefore surmise that his interest lies in the orgins and early formation of today's celebrity as well as with portraiture itself.
Despte their distorton, Coffield's figures remain recognizable, such is their iconic status. The portraits underline the fact that most of our communication is non-verbal. Indeed, the reason that many viewers find the portraits intially unsettling is because they disrupt the psychological process of reading the face, an inherent and unconscious part of our everyday interactions. Coffield's paintings are a bold retort to the argument that painted portraiture is a virtually spent medium in our age of mass production and instant imagery.
Whilst Coffield and Kearns share a Pop sensibility, their working processes couldn't be more opposed. Coffield's scale suits the engagement with his subjects whereas Kearns' compositions intentionally refer to the grand scale, ambition and narrative of classic history painting (established as the most revered of subjects in the eighteenth century). Given that Kearns' paintings are self conscious collages of media imagery, his painting technique is appropriately highly refined, each register or source of imagery meticuoulsy rendered as it would appear in print (be it a fashion advertisement or a cartoon strip character). In comparison, Coffield's paintings are rapidly produced and exhibit a sketchlike quality, his painting method a reflection of the rapidity with which we process the face.
Some of the portraits are rendered as shadowy silhouettes upon a single palette background (for instance Night & Day), whereas others are fully fleshed. In almost all of the paintings, viewers can glimpse minute patches of unpainted canvas. These gaps serve as Coffield's declaration of the artifiace of portraiture. These icons are 'true untruths', idealized images of manicured self presentation. Celebrity harnesses the notion of intimate familarity with a subject when no such contact or connection exsists. This is at the heart of its power and hold over our imaginations. In interviews, Coffield has described the portraits as exhibiting an Orwellian 'double-think', that is to say that they exhibit the existance of contary beliefs and opinions simultaenously. For example, you may be familiar with Cary Grant's films well and thus can recognize him easily. Though you have an idea of what Grant was like as a person, you do not know him at all. You have been presented less with a personality, and more with a aspirational self-presentation (in short, a lifestyle). Here we return full swing to Curtis' concerns regarding our definition of individuality and the trappings of its marketability.
The purpose of this essay has not only been to introduce the work of these three individuals but to demonstrate how their works compliment one another. A number of common threads can be articulated through the examination of their work. The power of narrative and symbols, the operations of power, and the mechanisms of fame are just some examples. It isn't just that their subject matter correlates (for instance, Rock Hudson, so prevalent throughout Curtis' film, is also the subject of one of Coffield's portraits), nor that the works echo one another in a formalist sense, rather all three can be said to share similar socio-artistic concerns. Though Curtis does not consider himself an artist, his documentaries have inspired a number of contemporary artists. His inclusion in this exhibition felt completely natural. Both Curtis and Kearns utilize the power of juxtaposition, the former through montage and the latter on canvas. Our current obsession with celebrity, the embodiment of unfettered and fetishized individuality that Coffield captures so eloquently, is also of concern to Kearns and Curtis. The ingenuity of both Coffield's and Kearns' work is that their paintings address art historical concepts whilst simultaneously engaging current issues. Though the symbols of America's power may seem simple, they are anything but. As I hope this exhibition has demonstrated, the real and the ideal are not without contradiction, and the ideal is never apolitical nor ideologically unbound.

What is molecular imaging?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink editorial assistant, responds:
Dear M:
Thank you for your interest and question.
Important developments in molecular sciences in the past decade have provided unprecedented opportunities in genome research, an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease, and the development of innovative therapies at the genetic level. These developments have been made possible, in part, because of automated and accelerated sequencing and progress in drug development. Associated with the developments in basic molecular biology are the remarkable advances in x-ray imaging technology and methodology.
Most traditional cross-sectional imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography (US) are reliant on physical and physiologic properties as the main source of contrast for the purposes of disease detection and characterization. Molecular imaging reaches beyond these and other imaging techniques by exploiting specific molecules as the source of image contrast. The development of specific imaging probes has allowed elucidation of metabolic pathways and specific cell cycle functions. Newer techniques such as optical imaging hold promise for the detection and further study of disease and pathogenesis at the microscopic level.
Molecular imaging with magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography (PET) is currently possible in clinical practice. These modalities permit functional, biochemical, and physiologic assessment of important aspects of malignancy. PET, in particular, measures the amount of sugar used by cells. Areas of increased sugar utilization represent tumor activity.
Research is ongoing to fuse standard radiology images with functional images to better identify tumors. Hopefully, this will allow doctors to better define the extent of disease and apply the current treatment modalities in an even more effective manner. When these types of molecular assessments are made, a more physiologic approach to therapy is possible. Molecular imaging evolving technologies will be invaluable in the diagnosis, staging, monitoring of therapeutic effectiveness, and understanding of cancer.

Established in 1955 and located in the beautiful San Gabriel Valley, Arroyo High School is located in the city of El Monte, California, approximately 12 miles northeast of the Los Angeles Civic center. The high school is one of five comprehensive high schools in the El Monte Union High School District.
The attendance area served by Arroyo High School consists of four different communities: El Monte, Temple City, Arcadia, and an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. The attendance area of the 40-acre high school is approximately four square miles and is bounded on the north by Live Oak Avenue, on the west by El Monte Avenue and Arden Drive, and on the south by the railroad tracks at Ramona Boulevard. The eastern boundary is formed by going north on Peck Road from Ramona to Lambert Street and east on Lambert to the San Gabriel River.
Arroyo High School opened its doors in 1955 and its first graduating class was the class of 1958. The school is now in its 53rd year of operation. Since then, more than 20,000 students have received their high school diplomas from Arroyo. Gradutates of Arroyo can be found in various professions, ranging from being teachers (here at Arroyo) to college presidents to academy award winners, as well as a recent Pulitzer Prize winner. The school is truly a comprehensive high school with a curriculum that meets the wide range of needs found within our attendance area. Arroyo High School provides college preparatory, vocational, and general education programs for all its students.
Arroyo High School has a reputation for having a very safe campus. Five campus supervisors (all part time employees) and one School Resource Officer (SRO) assist administrators, counselors, and staff in maintaining a school environment that is safe and secure for all students.
Arroyo High School has made great strides in updating existing instructional equipment and providing new technological equipment over the last several years. Full implementation of our Digital High School Grant (in which every classroom is interconnected as well as connected to the Internet), has been completed. State of the art wiring and cabling have been provided by the grant, as well as instructional delivery hardware (digital projectors) and software (Ex. PowerPoint). Improved API scores over the last several years are a result of an upgrade in a number of existing technologies.
Arroyo High School is truly a great place to go to school. Students, parents, teachers, staff, administration, and the community work together to provide all students with the opportunity to obtain a comprehensive educational experience based on each student's individual abilities and personal goals to prepare them for a successful future. Arroyo High School continues to look for new ways to reach parents and make them a part of the school community. Stronger parent and community participation on campus is an ongoing goal for Arroyo High School.
