I loved Brandywine and, after graduating in 2009, I went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from college.
My daughter, who is a hard worker and a senior this year, has achieved a lot at this school in 4 years. Most of the AP classes are excellent otherwise she would not have been able to score all 5's and one 4 on her AP exams. The teachers, including those who don't teach AP classes, are mostly very good. There are many students in her graduating class and in those ahead of her who have been accepted at excellent colleges including the Ivy Leagues. BHS has had 3 different principals in 4 years and has been through a lot of changes, but thanks to many dedicated staff, the school remains of high quality- I thank them. The future is looking brighter at BHS- one reason is that a larger proportion of high caliber students are likely attend BHS starting next year (due to a recent, more equitable policy in the district "School Choice" program.) I have 2 more children who will be attending BHS who may not track with the honors and AP classes. I am aware that their experience may be different and that we will have to be paying close attention to make sure they do not get "lost in the middle."
I have a new foster child who started at Brandywine this year. We were concerned that after an evaluation of previous schools she would not be a Senior. After meeting with counselors they provided her with options of becoming Senior as of January this year. Yes, she had to keep her nose to the grind stone but she agreed she could do it. With the post trauma this child is having the school went out their way to make her comfortable dealing with the anxietys of starting a new school. With help from counselors she seems to be adjusting more than expectedHer grades started off with mostly 'D's'. Now, with help from the school she has a 'B' average. Beleave me this was an accomplishment that was beyond our expectations considering all the trauma. This school is the best. Could not have done it without Brandywines dedication to education and safety.
I'm currently a sophomore to graduate in the class of 2010. Although I typically find Brandywine just run-of-the-mill, that must be simply because I have nothing better to compare it to. Brandywine High School is, however, an outstanding school that I feel is definitely preparing me for the real world and my education beyond my high schooling experience. They have a great level of extracurricular activities offered, and teachers are almost always willing to go the extra mile for their students. Brandywine High School is an excellent learning environment and even if we aren't perfect, we're one of the best in Delaware.
My son had a choice, he could remain in the competitive IB program or go to the very competitive Charter School for his high-school years. He chose our feeder school, Brandywine High School. No, not because he wanted to stay with friends because he was never tracked with our feeder school. In Middle School he was in the IB program and Elementary School he was in the gifted program. Brandywine HS offered the best choice for a student who was both looking for high academic challenges and opportunities to develop his musical talents. He is an all-state chorus chair and participates in Marching Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, Chorus, and Barbershop quartet as well as the school musicals and has had the opportunity to create a film club and 2 AP courses. I must assert, wholeheartedly that Brandywine is will above average as far as public schools go.
Academically, i love the school. there's a wide range of subjects to choose from. from the core curricular program to electives like forensic science. But, the only problem is the people who go to the school. there are too many scuffles between students, and the administration isn't forcing the concequences very well.
This school is great. I graduated from this school in 1998. It's very down to earth. The teacher's are there to make a living, but also earn every bit of that living. They care. The activities always kept us busy even back in the late 90's. Always great things to do in that school, always keep you busy, and off peer pressure.
Academically I believe this school is one of the best in the state. There is also a great deal of extracurricular activities.
I came to Brandywine from William Penn in 2004. At first i missed my old school because i was around people i knew from age 10. Socially Penn is so much better, but Brandywine is a better school academicaly. Even though i will graduate from brandywine in 06 no school could possibly be better.

instructions on website not clear When i read the instructions for this product prior to purchasing it, I was under the assumption that the sealer was all that I needed. I purchased three vacuum sealers thinking that was all i'd need. I dont have the lids to my jars as I inherited them (they were originally used as drinking glasses...) and trying to find the lids has proved a pain. Im sure, after I find lids, that this product will save money in terms of wasted bags and prove cheaper than the canisters, but until I find the lids, its proving pretty much a waste of money. November 9, 2012
The best part of having a food saver I have both the regular and large attachment for evacuating Mason jars. I use this more than the ability to seal bags. Once you start using it, you will find hundreds of uses for evacuating mason jars. I like salads and make six at a time, storing them in 1 qt jars in the frig, That way they will keep for about 10 days. Just one of the uses I've found. June 5, 2014
Excellent Just recd. 2 weeks ago. Have stored, Ritz crackers, Salteen crackers, Pretzels, Cheez-crackers . Also stored several types of dehydrated veggies. Works great first time, every time. Going to try some dry cereal next. No more half empty boxes with clothes pins left in cupboard. If we don't eat it all, it just takes 2 minutes to seal it back again. March 23, 2013
does not work as advertised I love the FoodSaver bags and use them almost daily, but most of the accessories such as the rectangular containers and jar stoppers are very poor as they do not vacuum (except for the round canisters). It is incomprehensible to me that a brand such as FoodSaver whose bags work spendidly would have other products that don't funcion. January 21, 2013
Works Great! I was a little bit concerned by the reviews that suggested problems getting the standard size jar sealer to get a good seal. I just tried mine out and got 3 for 3 perfect seals with no difficulties at all. I did use genuine Ball and Kerr jars so I don't know if that makes a difference but I found this product to work great. November 26, 2012
Jar sealer I have both sizes of the jar sealers.These are great for storing dry pasta using a mason jar. I use them to also make pickled eggs in a mason jar. When you seal the jar ,the eggs pickle faster.I use these a lot. Plastic containers are o k for somethings, but glass last forever.Just keep enough lids on hand.,and seal away. April 10, 2014
Heads up: Accessory Hose Not Included Even though the hose that connects the jar sealer to the FoodSaver is shown on the box picture, it's not included: seems you're expected to buy an accessory for your accessory. The company did send a hose when I called to say it was missing from the box, but that meant I had to wait another week to finish my food storage project. Also, have patience when using the jar sealer. I resorted to a tip that I picked up during a food storage class, to use two metal jar lids instead of just one. Even then, not all jars sealed the first time. Another tip from the class is to heat the jar lids (as you would for water bath canning) to make sure the rubber is soft. I recommend using an oxygen absorber along with the jar sealer, especialy when using any freeze-dried meat products. March 20, 2014
Was disappointed Used it on a quart size mason jar that didn't slope under the opening. It didn't work at all. Tried it on a pint size mason jar that did slope. It sealed but when I checked on the jar the next day it was no longer sealed. Good idea. Too bad it doesn't work properly. November 24, 2013
Mixed Feelings~! I was reading several reviews before I bought this product as I was worried that it wouldn't work without jumping through hoops such as using two seals, using two seals and puncturing a hold in one, pressing hard on the cap while you use it etc. So I thought that for my first attempt I should just try it normally, no jumping through hoops, but I did put a little pressure on the jar sealer when I used it. (I do not have to jump through any hoops with my wide mouth sealer). It worked just fine, however the inner blue rubber ring stayed on the jar lid instead of in the jar sealer. I was going to send it back immediately, but it is nothing to keep putting it back in as packing it up would be a pain. I have only used it for short terms seals as I juice and I put some in the fridge sealed for during the day, so I do not know if it keeps the seal long term but it works fine for short term. I use my wide mouth sealer for long term bulk items. I gave it a fair for ease of use because I have to keep putting the rubber ring back into the sealer. December 17, 2013
difficult to say the least This is not a bad product, it is just a very difficult product to use. As others have stated, the wide mouth is a dream, but the regular mouth requires repeated atttempts, holding the sealer ( almost putting all my wt into it ) pressed down over the jar... not needed with the wide mouth... Normally I just use the wide mouth jars, but have occasional need for the regular, so ... wish they could jusst fix the issue. August 27, 2013
Works very If care is taken to ensure lid is clean, it works every time. A damp paper towel used o wipe the ruber on the lid and the rim of the jar and no proble,s at all. I buy bulk sices for meat smoking and sausage making vacuum seakubg the jarws keeps the spices fresh. August 7, 2012
This product is a moneysaver I love the jar sealer. I am a able to vacuum seal dry goods in jars and they last much longer. I had 2 of them that didn't work but this one works fine. January 14, 2012
Didn't work Was so excited about my new foodsaver, first time user. The regular jar lid sealer does not work. Got it with my foodsaver. I am glad I didn't pay extra for this useless accessory. Tried everything everyone recommended. Also read that the wide jar sealer works better. Also had a problem with the plastic containers, which I did pay extra for. I finally got one to seal and the other one no good for now. Will try again tomorrow. I wanted to get the canisters but will not get since the other accessories are not working. Bags and rolls all work great and are very easy to use as long as you don't over stuff for the size using. Looking forward to seeing if my food stays longer and fresher. Was also excited about using mason jars which I love to use, but we will have to see if I can work out the problems. Wish me luck... Will keep you informed on progress. November 11, 2013
Trick needed to make it work After reading the previous reviews of this product, I decided to order, even with the knowledge that it might be hard to get a good seal. I, indeed, found it hard to obtain a good seal using the product as directed. The reviewer who commented about using two lids, the top one having a small hole in it was SPOT ON. It works 90% of the time with the second lid. I love the product, and don't mind reusing this second lid to obtain the seal. June 2, 2014
A suggestion I have been using the large mouth jar sealer for a couple of weeks, and it works flawlessly. However the small mouth jar sealer did not work at the first attempt. I compared the two and it seems the small sealers gasket is slightly too large, however if I make sure the lid is properly centered, then hold down the jar sealer firmly it seems to make a seal with the top portion of the jar just below the neck, and makes a good vacuum seal. October 22, 2012
This is a great new tool Ordered both the regular and wide mouth jar sealers and both have worked without any problems. Had read that some people are having trouble with the regular size but each and every jar sealed the first time. No do overs. I have only had it for one day but have used it for trail mix, oyster crackers, pine nuts and small amounts of shredded cheese which I buy in bulk. Even worked great on jars saved from pickled beets. Great investment! March 19, 2013
Couldn't live without my jar sealers Love my jar sealers. I ordered both at the same time. The wide mouth works fine. For some reason, the regular mouth's "gasket" (for lack of better word) keeps coming out of the attachment. It still seals my jars okay but what a pain it is. I kept anyway because of its price and the cost of shipping to return it wasn't worth it to me. I will be ordering one for my mom...hopefully the one I got was the lemon of the bunch ;-) January 14, 2014
Can't use it! Neither my FoodSaver nor either the regular or wide mouth sealing cap came with the tube that connects the lid to the machine. I can't use it without it and it's such a pain to return these small things. VERY DISAPPOINTED as I was looking forward to getting my kitchen organized into glass jars. July 15, 2012
A must-have accessory. Both the small and large-mouth are must-haves. Some jars and sealers and you havewhole different machine. Great for storing salad ingredients, fruits, sauces. Terrific for small leftovers that one might use a couple of times. Easier to handle than bags. Certainly not cost effective for things that need to be stored for any length of time over a couple of weeks. I love it. April 12, 2013
This product is very easy to use! Great results! Now I can use my empty canning jars to keep all kinds of dry foods fresh. I love the fact that you can use the metal lids over and over again and that you do not need to use the metal bands. Very quick and easy to use the attachment with my foodsaver. The jars look attractive on my counter and in my cabinets with glass doors. I can quickly inventory my food supplies. January 4, 2014
Only works 50% of the time. I really needed this but it is hard to use compared to the wide mouth. I have to try several lids before I find one that will seal. November 30, 2013
These are great! I bought both the wide mouth and the regular size sealers. Now I keep all my dry and dehydrated food in jars in my cupboard instead of in bags in the freezer or the refrigerator. Much more convenient. My only complaint (which is very minor) is that the blue rubber ring comes out and has to be put back in (takes about 2 seconds) December 30, 2013
Not great I reviewed the wide mouth jar lid sealer also. Unfortunately, I am not impressed with these thus far. We have trouble getting a reliable seal, despite making sure we are using the product correctly. It has been a few weeks since our purchase, and we have been trying to use these since their arrival, but so far, not so good. October 23, 2013
Perfect for vacuum sealing fresh juices! This product is a terrific value and works like a charm! I use it along with the jar attachment to vacuum seal fresh juices after I make a batch with my juicer. Now I can have fresh juice for several days without having to deal with the whole juicing & cleanup process (very time consuming) every day. Highly recommend it! March 1, 2014
Works well with Weston Pro works as advertised using a Weston Pro sealer. Fresh clean lids have remained sealed for at least 2 weeks in refrigerator and on shelf. The device seems simple. Not sure why it costs so much - but if you want to seal jars this way - it definitely gets the job done. We are using it for dried garden herbs, and leftovers. October 21, 2013
Excellent Product! I bought the jar sealer to add to my sealing tools. It's easy to use, sealed the first try every time, and has truly made storing things like powdered sugar, brown sugar and other bagged items used often a breeze. I would definitely recommend anyone who owns a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer to also use the jar attachments. February 3, 2014
A God send. I bought this sealer because I have started dehydrating food and I place some of the items in jars. I just fill the jars then seal them. I have to get the wide mouth jar sealer also, (my next purchase). You can't seal the jars with this if you are wanting to do some canning, but it's perfect for dehydrated food. January 3, 2014
Dissapointed I love everything about Food Saver, except the small jar sealer. The wide mouth works perfectly, but the regular mouth will not stay sealed. I have tried all the suggested "cheats", and the seal still releases. I guess that I will only be sealing wide mouth. Please Food Saver, we need an upgraded version. July 27, 2014
A good product For some reason this sealer and I don't get a long. About half of the time my jars don't seal as well as the wide mouth jars. It must be me! I know I will only purchase the wide mouth jar in the future. I don't know maybe it is the brand of lids that I have. The wide mouth jars seal every time. April 1, 2014
Works great! I cook large batches of meals at the beginning of the week to feed myself and my husband for the following 6-7 days. Single servings in mason jars - perfect! You have to make sure the rim of the jar is clean and dry and you have to center the lid pretty well or it won't seal. March 11, 2014

3.2/5 rDev -19.8%
Poured from a cork and caged 750 ml bottle into a chalice. Turbid dark orange beer, with a dense, large head that lingers. Lots of lacing; lots of small bubbles. The aroma is of orange peel, clove, maybe cardamom. These reappear in the flavor, with a vanilla like light toffee note. The finish is very dry. Some alcoholic heat seems present, a bit surprising given that this is not that strong a brew. The mouthfeel is generally light to moderate, but it does coat a bit. Overall, this is a decent enough saison, but a bit more rustic and less refined than some others. I did find it a bit tough to get through the whole bottle.

I had this at the brewery tasting room alongside the bottled version.
Sound: Sprightly carbonation escaping the surface, as if to say "I am ready".
Appearance: Light toffee color, light up from the light behind the glass, but cloudy. Tight head that persisted through the first few sips.
Smell: Orange peel, grapefruit, limoncello,
Taste: sweet but not sugary, malt, orange, lemon, bready
Mouthfeel: smooth and full mouthfeel, but it didn't taste underattenuated. Balanced.
Overall: A saison that stays dry enough to make you want another glass, but sweet enough to convince you you're having dessert. It's a magical little beer, that way. While there's the requisite orange, it's other citrus fruits that surprised me on the nose and the taste. A clean and quenching beer.

Saison pours a gold color. It's very cloudy and hazy. Backlighting gives it a bit of an orange look. It's capped with a very full, foamy head of lace. It stands over two fingers tall and is extremely slow to recede. I'm not sure that it will completely. Lacing was very sticky and thick. Good lookin' stuff.
The nose is good. It's very earthy and features some really nice herbal notes up front. It's a tad musky and grassy. Belgian yeast is very prominent in the mix and smells excellent. It adds some nice spicy notes of white pepper and very faint clove. There are some light fruity notes that are surprising. Maybe a little orange and pineapple. They work pretty well into the mix though. Alcohol is blended pretty and doesn't seem all that strong.
The flavor is impressive. This is good stuff. It is very earthy, herbal, and grassy throughout. There's a bit of a musky note that's noted at times. Seems to come and go. It is fruitier than expected. It has a bit of a sweet side and features nice pineapple and orange flavors. Belgian yeast is definitely in the mix and tastes nice. It is spicy. Pepper and light clove are noted. The blend of citric fruit and spices works really well. It's tasty. Alcohol is there, but doesn't come through all that strong. Finishes earthy, fruity, and spicy. I like it.
Saison has a medium body. It feel s nice and smooth despite its active carbonation. The bubbles are light and soft. It's enjoyable, smooth, easy drinking. This bottle won't be much of a challenge.
Rockmill Brewery did a nice job with Saison. This is tasty stuff. I really like the fruity flavors. They seem a bit novel for the style, but it works. It isn't going to win any wars with the world's best authentic Belgian Saisons, but it is good. Definitely worth trying at some point.

Appearance: Pours with ½ finger of light tan head that settles slowly to a thin, almost complete cap. Nice spotty lacing is left behind and refreshed after each sip. The beer itself is the color of burnished copper with the slightest of chill haze and shows significant activity. Last pour arouses some compacted sediment.
Smell: Sweet candy malt with hint of alcohol sweetness.This blends/fades into mild hop bitterness.
Taste: Very mildly sweet malt blends seamlessly into mild hop bitterness. Finishes with lingering layers of candi sugar sweetness and more hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Average plus carbonation with decent body.
Drinkability: Another hit from Rockmill Brewery and a sure to be regular in my rotation.

750 ml corked and caged bottle, purchased at a tasting event at the brewery last weekend. Served in a tulip glass, the beer pours a hazy orange/amber color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention is good, with a lot of lacing left on the glass, too. The brew smells like bready malt, Belgian yeast, orange peel, peppery spice, pineapple and lemon. It's a nice spicy and fruity aroma. It tastes like peppery spice, lemon peel, bready malt, yeast and some earthy hops. Good earthy/spicy finish. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's well carbonated and a bit dry. Drinkability is good, it's certainly easy and enjoyable to drink. I think this is a good overall brew, another quality Rockmill beer in my opinion. I wouldn't have any problems buying this again.

Pours a darker orange, hazy with a slight yellowish finger of fluffy head. Aroma was slightly bready, with some lemongrass notes, citrus, a very light funk/hay note and a fruity yeasty aroma. The taste had a nice bit of citrus and lemon, bread crust, fruity Belgian yeast, light funk and a faintly tart finish. The feel was a tad creamy, more medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Pretty good, though a crisper more effervescent feel would have been better.
A solid, easy drinking, tasty Saison.

A: deep cloudy amber with a finger of ivory foam, drank fairly clean down the glass
S: citrus with herbal accents, soft orchard fruits, something drying and woodsy
T: sweet spiced orchard fruit, wet grains and drying wood; distant dank funk, forward dark citrus pith
M: medium-bodied, smooth and fuzzy at the same times; soft with a tingle of spice and herb
O: I'm elevating the ranking on this saison - this was the result of some precision craftsmanship, and while my review may not be gushing with descriptors, this is worth your while. It's pricey ($10-15?) but for a saison fan or any experienced BA, I gotta believe its worth the buy. Top-notch stuff.

A: The beer is cloudy dark golden yellow in color. It poured with a two finger high beige head that has excellent retention properties, consistently leaving a large head and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: There are moderately strong aromas of Belgian yeast in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the beer definitely tastes unfiltered and has lots of flavors of Belgian yeast, especially as you get to the bottom of the bottom. There are subtle hints of spices in the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit chewy (from the yeast) on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a nice farmhouse ale if you like yeast. It seems like this beer, particularly its finish, could use a little dryness.

A: This one pours an attractive apricot color. There is very little head with an aggressive pour, which dissipates into a small white rim. Much less head than typical saison.
S: A lemony funky aggressive nose. Lemon is totally dominant. Little sourness.
T: Funky, lemon, and a little weird. It is unbalanced with the lemon citrus totally in the forefront. It is dry and slightly sour
MF: light and effervescent.
O: I cannot believe this is $9 for a 375ml, when Dupont is in the $5 range. It basically tastes like a pale ale with lemon concentrate.

750 ml bottle received from normyk in my Birthday BIF box this week. First beer of the bunch reviewed.
Poured into a New Belgium globe glass.
Pours a hazy deep gold with orange overtones and a huge rocky white head of more than three fingers. Head slowly drops, leaving some nice lacing behind.
Aromas of lemons, pepper, sweet malt, a little barnyard funk. Faint hint of mint.
Flavors of pepper, bitter, lemon, funky cheese rind. Flinty. A little on the sweet side. Nice carbonic bite. Finish is short, with a yeasty, peppery flavor in the fade.
Mouthfeel is not as dry as most belgian examples. Good mouthcoating drying bitterness.
Overall an outstanding example. Not a cookie cutter by any stretch, pays homage to the originals, but sets its own path. Very nice. Wish I had some more. This one is worth a road trip, or at least a detour from a business trip in northern Ohio.

Doughnut Plant
Doughnut Plant Review
If the cupcake craze is getting you down, head to the Doughnut Plant, where the all-American junk food staple is elevated to high art. Fresh seasonal ingredients go into these decadent treats, with real fruit and imported chocolate mixed into the batter. Traditionalists will croon over the vanilla bean doughnut but there are plenty of exotic flavors to tempt tastebuds: the dense, fudgy blackout is covered in crumb topping; carrot cake doughnuts have a cream cheese filling. The Lower East Side location is open every day from 6:30 am to 8 pm. There's a second location in Chelsea, next to the Chelsea Hotel; doughnuts are also available around the city at Dean & Deluca and Zabar's.

The conference will be hosted and produced by the Carnaval Sztuk-Mistrzów - Poland's largest festival presenting contemporary circus arts. The conference program will include lectures of recognized researchers of performing arts selected from the submitted proposals, and presentations of artistic projects from Poland and abroad.

Circostrada Network organized four European seminars for Policy Makers working in Arts Councils, Ministries in charge of Cultural Affairs or institutions promoting Arts & Culture abroad. The objectives were to give these officers and decision makers the opportunity to know more about political traditions and contexts in Europe and expose them to a series of policies and schemes made available to support the outdoor creation and contemporary circus.
These successful gatherings, organized each time in close partnership with a Member State, allowed experts to explore new connections, compare work methods and exchange good practices to provide the necessary conditions for a sustainable development of our emerging sectors.
This publication, commissioned to the researcher Cristina Farinha, is a first step in collecting information regarding existing support mechanisms, as interesting examples to inspire other European regions or countries.

Last week word spread like wildfire around the interwebs that a lengthy, six-minute prologue from "The Dark Knight Rises" would be unspooled in front of screenings for "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." While the news seemed legit, we had our doubts and wondered why Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. were putting a massive teaser for easily the biggest film of next summer in front of a rival studio's film. But it turns out there is a big caveat for those who want to see it which may mean buying your tickets well in advance and scouring to find out which theater in particular near you will even be capable of showing it.
AMC Theaters has confirmed that yes, that six-minute "The Dark Knight Rises" teaser is confirmed, however, it will only be shown on 70mm IMAX screens. So what does that mean? You know those much tinier, digital fake IMAX screens Aziz Ansari was bitching about before which are kind of a total ripoff? Yeah, it will not be shown in those. Only on IMAX screens with 70mm projectors aka those constructed under the "Classic Design," because as you know, Christopher Nolan has not gone down that digital road.
Essentially, this preview is going to take some work to see as the list of 70mm capable screens is not very long. Here's an unofficial list of theaters/screens that can handle the format, but again, not all of these are IMAX and this is not a comprehensive guide.
So do your research folks and buy your tickets early if you want to see this thing. "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" begins its limited IMAX-only run on December 16th before going wide on December 21st.

Why should I waste my time and money on a movie I don't want to see just to see the six minute preview attached to it?

What kinda bait & switch bullshit is this?! And in front of a Tom Cruise flick no less
starway2001 | October 25, 2011 3:05 AM
Yeah, well, without those digital screens IMAX would've gone bankrupt. And then there'd be zero IMAX screens of any kind.
I'd gladly tolerate some digital screens so that the company can stay solvent and continue providing us with the 70mm auditoriums. But hey, that's me. :)

Jeezy - Greatest Trapper Alive
Artist: Jeezy
Producer: Needlz
Album: Trap or Die 2: By All Means Necessary
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 46 total votes )
Like Bow Wow, Romeo, Diddy, and the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays before him, the artist formerly known as Young Jeezy has cut down the fat on his name and is now officially, and simply, Jeezy (not that anyone thought he was that young to begin with). Minor changes aside, Jay Jenkins is back to his old form, making heavy-hitting bangers such as his latest track, Greatest Trapper Alive. With a fast paced production reminiscent of an 80's car chase soundtrack, Needlz provides the momentum that allows Jeezy to flow through his classic witticisms with ease ("Like an illiterate *****, I hope I never see a pen."). If you liked the return of Jeezy to your headphones, be sure to look out for his Trap or Die 2: By All Means Necessary mixtape, the official prelude to TM103. Oh, and if you need any more anticipation for the album drop, check out this link. As always Booth Heads, keep it locked here for more.

I never had much of a waist and wanted to improve it by getting liposuction in my lower flanks to produce one. After doing extensive research, I went to Dr. Blinski and he performed liposuction of my waist/flanks. After healing patiently I noticed that I had been left botched, warped and one flank was more uneven than the other. I went back to Dr. Blinski and he told me he could "fix it". ... more

I think the Mt. Olive AOH Church of God, and Dr. H.L. Bostic the spiritual mother/leader and founder have pioneered and laboured in the Menlo Park Community for many years. With the wonderful help, people have been tremendously blessed. We will never forget those remarkable things that have taken place. How can we fail to say thank you for all of the blessings you've graced others to graciously receive.
on Jun 18, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I remember Dr. Hattie Bostic from years ago, growing up in southern Alabama and how we would look forward to seeing and hearing from her during our Annual Pentecostal Meetings in Mobile, Alabama. She is such an inspiration to the world! Thank you, Dr. Bostic, for allowing God to use you! How may I contact her today?
on Dec 11, 2011 at 12:23 am
I love this powerful women, i grewup with her son which is a good friend of mine, George Bostic. She was more like a community mom. She will be truly missed!! R.I.P Dr.Hattie Bostic.
on Dec 22, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Having heard Dr. Bostic over the radio for years I grew to love
her powerful sermons and songs. We are praying for the Church
and Community. Hold to the powerful Hands of the Father and He will
se you through this time of lost.

GDS Cleaning Solutions Inc's name stands for "Great, Dependable Service," and its owner aim to live up to that standard with every customer interaction. The staff of carpet cleaners searches out stains and unwanted aromas and obliterates them with truck-mounted steam cleaners and deodorizers. In bathrooms, the company's powerful Hydro-Force grout-cleaning machine helps keep clients' tiles as bright as the smiles of professional toothpaste models. Techs tend to vents and ducts, aided by video systems and HEPA filters that keep dirt and mold from invading the air or creating dust bunnies or lint ponies. Full service janitorial packages allow small businesses to keep offices free of clutter and germs.
For 35 years, the staff at AJ Rose Carpets & Flooring has helped homeowners and businesses in the New England area cover their floors in high-quality carpeting, tile, and linoleum. Since opening in 1977, the business has steadily grown to include two locations. The Natick store features a one-of-kind showroom design that ensures each shopping trip is free of both stress and hungry bears. AJ Rose's Burlington location also boasts a designer section stocked with products from brands such as Karastan, Ralph Lauren, and Nourison.
In 2007, the company expanded into the carpet and floor cleaning arena. AJ Rose's carpet connoisseurs deep-clean dirty pile by employing a heavy-duty, truck-mounted hot-water extraction method. First, cleaning solutions penetrate muddied floor coverings before a parched vacuum sucks up the moisture to dehydrate shags. Sullied area rugs also get the reinvigoration and restoration treatment with a detailed cleaning. Owners drop them off at AJ Rose's Burlington location, where they can learn to be social with other.

Specializing in hardwood, carpet, and tile floors since 1958, Abbey Carpet & Floor carries such practical and fashionable brands as American Showcase and Alexander Smith. In the online showroom, clients can begin selecting area rugs, carpeting, or solid-surface flooring to suit their room's unique ambiance and number of lava pits. Confident in their products and their installation skills, the nationally certified company offers a lifetime warranty on broadloom carpets from Infinity Nylon Carpet Fiber, Alexander Smith, American Showcase, Softique, Legendary Beauty, and Premier Stainmaster.
The furniture business has changed quite a bit in the more than three decades since Ken Silva founded Plymouth Furniture. Particleboard has replaced hardwood, and machines have, in some cases, taken over the duties of skilled craftspeople. Despite this, Silva and his son—vice president and director Randy Silva—have created and maintained a five-story gallery full of American-made furniture crafted from North American wood, often by the children and grandchildren of the men and women they represented 30 years ago. The store is a bastion of tradition, where staffers—usually family members—greet returning customers by name. While Ken recognizes the importance of showcasing their furniture online, he would rather you come by and sit on one of their sofas to experience firsthand the subtle smoothness of the leather, the comforting heft of the kiln-dried frame, and the durability of the eight-way hand-tied springs.
In keeping with the company's focus on quality, Randy shared his expertise with Shaunna Gately of the The Patriot Ledger, suggesting that buyers look for a hardwood frame, polyurethane-foam cushions with a high density rating, and a flow-matched pattern that continues fluidly over contours and panels. The family team also offers an in-home design service, putting together the ideal dining room or finding a lamp to match the blue-green face of a food-poisoned family member.
Smartwax Professional's mobile detailing and reconditioning technicians come to you, ready to wash, wax, and shine your vehicle with Smartwax's own line of products. This includes their Eco Wash system, which produces no runoff and uses less than one quart of water per vehicle compared to the 98 gallons used by the average car wash. Technicians tend to cars with one of three detailing packages, which can be customized with services such as engine cleaning, enzyme-based deodorizing, and clay treatments for cars prone to acne.

"X-Men: Days Of Future Past" (check out our feature on the Best and Worst of the film) did what it was intended to: thanks to the all-star cast and surprisingly strong reviews, the film was by far the biggest hit of the series, with the film closing on $700 million worldwide, elevating it far above its predecessors, and justifying Fox's decision to spend more money on the picture than any other film except "Avatar." As such, the already-announced plans for "X-Men: Apocalypse" are moving forward at speed, and writer Simon Kinberg has just spilled some beans on it.
We already knew that the film was going to focus on villain Apocalypse, an ancient mutant (take a look at our ranking of the character canon) with reality-altering powers (as shown by the post-credits tease at the end of 'Days Of Future Past'), and Kinberg has previously said that the film will be closer to a "disaster movie" than the time-jumping antics of the last picture, and that it'll be set in the 1980s, after the 60s and 70s settings of the first two. But in an interview with screenwriting podcast supremo Jeff Goldsmith (via Comic Book Movie), Kinberg has got more specific, and said that the new movie will be set in 1983.
Now, for some franchises, this wouldn't be hugely important, but the exact date of the setting of "First Class" (1962) and "Days Of Future Past" (1973) turned out to be important to the films' plotlines: the climax of the latter took place during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the latter included a key sequence set at the Paris Peace Accords, and one can assume that the meld of history and fiction will continue here. So what can we glean about 'Apocalypse' from the year in which it's set?
Well, if we were take the 'disaster movie' line literally, the film could end up featuring the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that killed over a hundred people, or Hurricane Alicia in Texas, which killed twenty two. Or if we were to see the film keeping closer to 'First Class,' the arrest of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie in Bolivia might be a plot point. But neither quite sound right, especially as 1983 saw, arguably for the last time, the Cold War ramping up: the Strategic Defense Initiative (also known as 'Star Wars') was unveiled in March, while September saw a Korean plane be shot down by the Soviet air force, killing all on board, including a U.S. congressman, and two terrible cases of nuclear brinksmanship before the end of the year too. We'd wager that whatever chaos Apocalypse is causing, it ends up causing conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union at the some time. Or perhaps the plot figures into the internet, which 'officially' came into existence on January 1st that year?
Or perhaps it's just because it takes place ten years after the film. "X-Men: Apocalypse" hits theaters on May 27th, 2016.

chris | June 17, 2014 8:15 PM
Seems to complete the pattern. First Class took place in 1963, most of Days of Future Past took place in 1973 ergo: Age of Apocolypse 1983 (of course with a quick trip back in time to kill Professor X?)

James | June 16, 2014 8:41 PM
1983 was arguably the closest we ever came to nuclear war. A succession of old men were ruling in Moscow and dropping like flies, leaving the chain of command unclear, and the US was installing Pershing missiles across Europe. Then in the middle of all that came Operation Able Archer. I had a professor in college who said it was much, much more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis, it's just relatively unknown.

You wrote that the film got "surprisingly strong reviews," yet it is no surprise. The past two X-Men films that Bryan Singer himself directed got strong reviews, and it was quite obvious that his third time around would be no different, especially if Matthew Vaughn helped conceive the story. Sure, numerous X-Men films got bad reviews, but it was quite apparent that this one would actually be good.
