GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I think this school needs major improvement! My son attended Islands Elementary for four years prior to this school and the staff there was absolutely wonderful. The communication from the teachers was outstanding - now I cant get the teachers to remain committed to anything at Finley Farms and my son has gone from a 'A-B' average to almost failing and now I have to pay for this with a tutor. I feel stuck here and greatly disappointed in the public schools now.
My family had to move to Arizona reluctantly in September 2006 - I was not the happiest camper about it. However, when we arrived, Finley Farms was an enormous part of my attitude change. The previous reviewer is exactly right: Mr. Maas is the most involved, hands-on principal I've ever seen in my 42 years as a child and a parent, yet he's humble and warm to each child. He seems to see the ones that need a little boost each day and he offers a kind word to everyone. I hope Mr. Maas stays at FFE for all the years my girls are there. When you've got great leadership, most everything else falls into place. You can see it in the kids and the staff - everyone loves being there. The staff is terrific, too - this whole community is focused on what's best for the kids.
I have 2 children attending Finley Farms, 1st and 2nd grade. I have been very pleased with the school so far. The principal is out managing the car pickup and drop off each day. He knows the kids by name. The teachers are very enthusiastic. My children love attending school.
My daughter attended the Kindergarten program at Finley Farms and the experiance was fantastic! I feel like my daughters introduction into the wonderful world of public school was enjoyable and rewarding. THANK YOU MS MCGETTIGAN!
I have 2 children that attendy Finley and I cannot be more happy with their accomplishments. The teachers are well qualified and are very helpful and available. My kids love going to school each day. The principal is very involved and seems to know the all the children by name. I hate the fact that we are moving and have to leave this highly performing school.
We have enjoyed this school. I have a 2nd and K. The teachers we've had have worked well with the individual needs of the children and haven't hesitated to let us know about any concerns. My 2nd grader finds the work challenging enough for her and it makes her work a little more. There are tons of extracurricular programs through the district and many are available at the school site. There is a great parent involvement and we enjoy all the school activities and see a huge attendance for those. The principal is wonderful and is always out with the kids and even participated in Pajama Day.
The school has been great! The principal knows more of what is going on in the school then the parents know. I couldn't find my son one day at pickup. The principal knew who normally picked him up and what he was wearing that day. He was immediately on the radio putting out the word. Little did we know that he was where he was suppose to be but he had put a hat over his head that he made that day which covered his entire head! I walked right by him. My son has gone from a below kindergarten reading level to a late first grade reading level in just one sememser! The teachers have worked hard with him on his work. The communication between parents and teacher could be a little better but overall I enjoy the school.
Finley farms is a great school for so many reasons. First and foremost, the principal is amazing. He is so hands on and willing and ready to help out wherever he is. There are many parents that are hands on as well. The curriculum is challanging and my daughter thrives there and i'm very fortunate to be able to send her to finley farms.
The teachers are great. I dont think the principal does the school justice.....He doesnt always know what is going on w/ students that he should. He should be trying to make their school experience a good one.
This is a great school with super staff and a convienient location.
Over crowded but otherwise good school as long as your does not have any special needs including gifted.
Until this school year (04-05) I was confident my children were receiving a decent education and were treated with respect. Unfortunately, due to enrollment dropping, this is the first year the principal has been without an assistant principal. The impact has been dramatic. The school has a 'Responsibility Center' for discipline issues.
In the 2003-2004 year i had 3 kids enrolled k-3. I am a very proactive parent and would communicate daily with the school staff on issues, progress and action plans for each child. The teachers and admin. Of the school would never follow through no stay consistant. There classes are far to large for effective student teacher interaction and supervision. Students that are less the conforming are not held to consistant standards and allowed to 'sluff by' with the teachers response being 'well its ok its only k or 1....Etc. I removed my children after 2 years of this and placed them in a charter school. Since, they have all exceeded there grade level by no less than 4 grades each... I would have not made issue to f.F.E. If not for the documented fact of extreme improvement after removed.
Academic programs are very good but leadership is weak. The parents basically run the school. If you like that sort of 'leadership', you will love this school!
It's been 3 yeays for my kids to attend and they really love school and teachers.School has variety program and excellent teachers.
Finley Farms Elementary has been a wonderful school for my children to attend. The staff goes the extra mile to make this school exceptional! Thank you to all the teachers for doing their best to provide my children with a solid foundation of education and to prepare them for the school years ahead.
Wonderful School. They have, for the most part, a terrific teaching staff. It is a very neighborly school with lots of parent participation. You are always well informed as to what your child is learning and how they are progressing with all school testing results sent home for you to see. They also have lots of extra carricular activites, and encourange lots of art, music, and outdoor activities along with the standard cirriculum.
My child has been in the Gilbert School district for 5 years now. We have been extremly pleased with Finley Farms. The Principal truly cares about his students. I have found the teachers to be well educated and very patient.
With four children, two have attended Finley Farms K - 6, and two are currently in attendance. My experience has been that the faculty at Finley Farms is exceptional, as is the principal. The teachers are more than willing to work with my children, through academics or clubs, both before and after school. On several occasions my children's teachers have attended their sporting events or awards ceremonies in their 'off' time. The principal has an open door policy and responds to questions or feedback promptly and with respect. Finley Farms has exceeded my expectations for opportunities for my children.
My daughter attends Finley Farms and we are very impressed with the qualitiy of the teachers, the administration, and even the physical facility as well. She is stimulated and attempts are being made to assure her instruction is differentiated base on her own needs. I am a teacher in another school district and I have nothing but good to say about Finley Farms!

Rev. Bryn Smallwood-Garcia"As I live," says the Lord God, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?" - Ezekiel 33:11If you've ever returned a rental car, you know this dire warning:DO NOT BACK UP! SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE!I've always thought of it as the equal but opposite sign to the one that Dorothy finds at the entry to the Haunted Forest of Oz – the one that the prophet Ezekiel himself could have written:"I'd turn back if I were you."Which is it, people of God? Which is it?As we began our UCC General Synod this summer in the wake of twin Supreme Court decisions – to overturn both the backward-looking Defense of Marriage Act and the forward-looking Voting Rights Act – I didn't know which way to turn—to laugh or to cry.Debates surrounding immigration reform and the acquittal of George Zimmerman have both polarized and paralyzed our nation. Like the prophet Ezekiel, God's sentinel on the watchtower, I feel like shouting, "Does no one see the deadly tidal wave of xenophobia and racism that I see?"While our Christian faith invites us to look back into our biblical past for lessons to guide us today, we do not back up by blindly relying on tradition, chanting as our anthem, "We've always done it that way!" But we do go back to our core biblical values: "We are one in Christ" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."I take hope from God's promise to the prophet Jeremiah (15:19): "Thus says the Lord: 'If you turn back, I will take you back.'"Prayer O God, may we go back as a nation (and as a prophetic national church) just enough to remember your history of overcoming evil with good. And may we vow to never again let fear and violence rule our land. Amen.

WASHINGTON - Few would verbalize it, but for over 700 mobile app developers gathered in Tysons Corner, the goal is simple.
"How do you become the next Snapchat?" asks Pete Erickson, founder of MoDev, which connects thinkers, builders and marketers in the world of mobile technology.
The two-day MoDevEast summit runs through Friday at the Gannett Conference Center, in McLean, Va.
Instead of technology and software focused on desktop computers, mobile technology allows users to perform many of the same tasks on portable digital devices, including smartphones, tablet computers, and wearable technology.
Erickson says the key to a successful mobile app is simplicity and user experience.
"What a great user experience means is you make your users feel smart about what it is they're doing," he says.
Snapchat allows users to take and share photos, videos and text which are permanently deleted from the Snapchat server after being viewed for between 1 and 10 seconds, depending on the sender's preference.
"Snapchat is easy to use, it's quick, it makes people feel good because they're communicating in a new way that gives them some power," Erickson says.
Taking a mobile app from conception to sensation requires a multi-pronged strategy, which differs from traditional marketing plans, according to Erickson.
"In the past you built a product, you got it all ready, then you did a big marketing blitz, and you launched it," Erickson says.
With mobile apps, "marketing starts the second you really have your concept for your app," he says.
Erickson says the first thing mobile app developers do is put up a web page for the app idea, and get interested people to give their email addresses to participate as beta users.
"And then as you develop that app and get it ready for market you've already got a built-in user base, that is giving you feedback, that's going to help you launch your app into success," he says.
The wildly popular and controversial Snapchat has rejected multi-billion-dollar offers from Facebook and Google to acquire the company.
"That's what a lot of people here are chasing after," Erickson says with a smile.

Toshiba NB100 netbook
There are netbooks that have a curvy, kid-friendly look. Others are sleek and shiny - every one aimed at adults. Then there are blocky, serious looking ones, carved with no concession to consumer levity and fluff because the manufacturer reckons that's what businesspeople want. Toshiba NB100 Toshiba's NB100: boxy, 'serious' …
Tilting back...
The NB100 has one major feature that is lacking elsewhere: You can tilt the display back flat, a full 180 degrees. The Eee's are a bit more limited here (but it's enough in most cases).
Look at the Dell Mini 9 for a really bad example. You can't get the display back far enough to actually look at it when sitting upright in a cramped space like an airplane or a train and having it on your lap. Unusable in many cases except having it sitting on a desk.
Had one got rid
I had the XP version for about 1 week and took it back to the shop. The screen has a problem on it. the very lightest touch around any part of the bezel would cause the screen to ripple as if you was pressing the screen direct. on all the other branded netbooks I found they did not have this problem, toshiba have not left a small gap between the bezel and screen like the ee pc etc have.
So everytime I touched it to open and close it, It made the screen ripple.
I got toshiba as I have always liked there brand, but this netbook is slow and takes an age even to load something simple like a ebay seach.
All of the toshiba models i have tested have the same screen problem. I was always told you should never apply pressure to any lcd screen.
anyways took if back and got a acer pc and then went and got myself a secondhand Dell d400 now from local shop. little bit bigger but loads more power and its got external dvd rom too. for £180
apart from the screen issues and the atom but rubbish it was a very nice welmade netbook.
Linux used to subsidise Windoze *AGAIN*
I've had my hands on one of these and and as Tony says it's a solid little machine. However Toshiba have pulled the same trick as some other netbook makers and offered a lower spec machine on it's Linux offering and no significant saving. Indeed if you're quick you even get £30 cashback on the Windoze model!
What gives? Surely M$ aren't supplying OEM licenses of XP for virtually nothing because they're running scared of the popularity of Linux on netbooks! Ballmer and co. would never adopt such monopolistic, anti-competetive practices!
Another 1024x600 screen netbook. Call me when the resolution gets higher, without the price also taking a serious hike (like with the new Sony). Or when you can get one with this resolution for less than 150 quid.
Torben, here's one for exactly £150
Asda is now selling the Acer Aspire One A150, Linux, blue, for £150 (reduced from £198) and it's a national offer. I bought one this morning. Most of them (including mine) also have 160GB disks in them, rather than the 120GB advertised.
Seeing that the differences in spec between the Windows and Linux models of the Toshiba are trivial in terms of money (witness "free disk upgrade" on the Acer), I can only conclude that they are there at Microsoft's insistence to make a direct comparison impossible, thereby hiding the Windows Tax.
...so I get the Windows one, refuse the EULA, install Linux distro of choice and get my refund; ending up with a decent spec Linux netbook. Nice.
But why hamstring the Linux netbook in the first place? I wonder how much MS bunged Tosh to NOT release the Linux one on equal hardware and thus show how lardy Windows is.
As for the £30 for the lower spec Linux one...pfft....not worth it; see above.
Totally agree - screen resolution is very important - more so than most other factors.
I got myself an HP 2133 netbook with 1280x800 for £200 running suse linux (now it runs ubuntu v well) - the vista edition was £400 (ebuyer)
NC10 screen is 1024x600 unless Im mistaken.
How big?
Thanks for the review, and could we get a real world picture of these devices on your desk or something? Every pic in the review was *just* the machine. The only way to get some sense of scale is to look at the video port & try to extrapolate..
Refusing the EULA?
Oh yeah, great in theory - almost impossible in practice. Wonderful if you manage it (like the handful who have), but if you're doing it to save £30 then don't bother - several years off your life expectancy for the stress is worth more than that.
Of course M$ could be hiding the cost of the Windows Tax not to show how large it is but to show how SMALL it is, which would strengthen accusations about unfair subsidies to maintain a monopoly position.
Ubuntu version
I've had the Ubuntu version of this laptop for about a month now and really like it. Not that keen on Evolution as it doesn't seem to be as configurable as KMail which I could install, but don't fancy installing a load of KDE dependencies.
It would've been nice for Tosh to have kept the same specs for the two different machines, but you can't have everything. Did try emailing to ask if they would refund for the unused XP licence, but never got a reply.
@Ubuntu version
Yup, same here. Evolution sucks compared to KMail. Evolution's quite buggy too, specially the calendar part (which is the one I use; I use Thunderbird for email). I have been using Evolution for almost a year now, and am almost giving in to installing all the KDE dependencies to have Korganizer instead...
Back on topic, Re: the machine... Hey, I remember other manufacturers offering a BETTER spec machine with Linux than with Windows, for the same price (I think)! So what's going on here? I smell a rat (see icon)...
er, it's crap?!
traditional HD, only 600 verticle res, 1gb of ram and a single atom?
i thought you said this was "serious"?
p.s. stuff and nonsense: http://www.eupeople.net/forum
get the aspire one and load linux on it. a friend of mine had a toshiba laptop and while the specs looked good, i just didn't like their windows only crap.
nothing special
This is a far cry from the spectacular Libretto U100, have all the Toshiba engineers that made that great sub-notebook 3 years ago left Toshiba?
I still prefer my U100 (running Mandriva Linux) to any of the current crop of netbooks, even the 1.2GHz, 2MB cache Pentium M inside it, is noticeably faster than any Atom.
I Love my brick!!!
I have had one of these since their release and have had none of the problems Patrick has mentioned. The screen is beautifully bright and much sharper than most other netbooks I have seen. I have not seen any rippling. With my wireless connection, page loads are pretty instant, so I suggest that he take task with his ISP or his wireless setup.
I think that although there is not much to tell between netbooks, the build quality, screen and HDD capacity are a cut above.
Mine also runs World of Goo, Quake 3 arena, AVP2, Half-Life, Adobe Indesign (tiny tiny DTP!!) , Photoshop and Microsoft office quickly and smoothly. It comes with me when i travel and it sits on my coffee table at home when I need it. I love it.
1024x600 lovely jubbly
1024x600 native resolution on a 9 to 10"" screen - lovely, just right for email and web browsing where seeing icons and text properly are the issues. Could it even be by design?

After five years of relative quiet, federal property law doctrine is once again the site of renewed controversy. Last Term, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a Fifth Amendment takings claim alleged to have occurred when Florida took ownership of newly submerged land after a county beach renourishment project. Importantly, the decision marked the Court's entrance into a jurisprudential debate over the existence of judicial takings. In doing so, the Court opened up the possibility of a future decision constitutionalizing judicial takings, an arguably unnecessary addition to Takings Clause jurisprudence and possible detriment to the evolution of environmentally- favorable property law.

Question: In light of recent weather in Massachusetts I am reminded of hearing of big storms in the 18th and 19th century. Can you tell me the years of some of these other blizzards that troubled our ancestors here in New England?
Answer: One of the earliest recorded storms leaving up to four feet in snow was recorded in 1717. However there are a variety of great winter storms from 1717-1898 and later are chronicled online at: http://nsidc.org/snow/blizzard/storms.html
My grandmother mentioned in detail her parents speaking of the great blizzard of March 1888, as vivid as I will remember the blizzard of 1978.

by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young
Since Sam Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, we have learned much about his record while serving on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals based in Philadelphia. Exhaustive analysis of his decisions have sketched a judge widely respected for judicial temperament, who has been generally socially conservative, pro-government, pro-prosecution, pro-business, supportive of the death penalty, and very tough on immigration issues.
Probably none of his cases has been studied or analyzed more than the Pennsylvania case, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey.
The Casey decision grew out of the 1989 Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act imposing restrictions on abortions, most notably requiring a woman to notify her husband of any planned abortion. When the act was challenged, it first went to the Third Circuit where Alito opined in the minority, arguing that the provision was constitutional; his position, however, was eventually rejected by the US Supreme Court.
Alito's dissent in the case has helped paint him as opposed to abortion rights-- and has been at the heart of the opposition to his confirmation. No issue is more contentious than Alito's position on abortion generally, and Casey is at the center of the debate.
Missing from the current reporting; however, has been any assessment of the political environment that led to the passage of the 1989 Pennsylvania law. How Pennsylvania's law came to be at the epicenter of the national abortion debate is an important story.
Morality issues have long pervaded Pennsylvania history. The Quakers who founded the state early mixed large dollops of enlightenment idealism into commonwealth politics--most conspicuously by their strong opposition to slavery. By 1778, one leading state politician noted, "the saints and saint like folk have too much influence." Later a conservative political culture and strong religious mores continued the tradition. The current debate about abortion serves as only the latest chapter in a long running Pennsylvania saga.
Still, abortion issues do hold special prominence. For more than 30 years now, no single issue has been more divisive and polarizing; creating a fault line in the state's politics that cuts across ideological, religious, and gender lines.
The initial chapter in this long running abortion debate began following the 1972 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationally. In 1974, the Pennsylvania legislature passed legislation imposing among other restrictions, a husband's consent before a woman could obtain an abortion. The bill was vetoed by then Governor Milton Shapp, but overridden by the legislature; the US Supreme Court eventually ruled it unconstitutional several days before Shapp left office in 1979.
But that didn't end it. By 1989 another governor, Governor Robert P. Casey, was in office and the proposed Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act was front and center; the ensuing debate over the proposed abortion restrictions was electric and dominated politics in the state. Supporters and opponents poured into the state in a lobbying effort unparalleled in recent decades--all acutely aware of the national implications of the issue.
Preceding the voting on the legislation, competing rallies of thousands descended on the state capitol adding drama to a highly charged atmosphere.
Ultimately the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act passed the state legislature overwhelmingly, and Governor Casey signed the law, which provided the most sweeping abortion restrictions since Roe.
Specifically, it prohibited abortions after 24 weeks, except to save the life of the mother or should the mother suffer a serious bodily impairment; banned abortions at public hospitals except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother; banned sex selection abortions; established a 24 hour waiting period before obtaining an abortion; and required the notification of husbands before any planned abortion.
The contours of abortion politics in Pennsylvania are well established. Usually efforts to impose abortion restrictions have been initiated and supported by a coalition of Democratic Catholic lawmakers, many from old mining and mill towns and urban centers--allied with conservative, protestant Republican legislators from rural parts of the state.
Pennsylvania political personalities have played a large role. Anti-abortion champions have become legendary in state political lore. During the 1970's, the fiercest anti-abortion advocate was Martin Mullen, the powerful chairman of the House Appropriations Committee; in the 1980's another state representative, Stephen Freind filled the role. Freind was the legislative sponsor of the 1989 Abortion Control Act, now central to Alito's nomination. Both Mullen and Freind ran unsuccessfully for governor and both led crusades against abortion. Into the 1990's, gubernatorial candidate, Peg Luksik, picked up the anti-abortion cudgel. She made impressive showings in two of the three contests she entered.
But it was Governor Casey who became the state's most successful opponent of Roe and one of its most vocal national critics. The abortion issue precipitated a major rife between Casey and national Democrats; a clash with Bill Clinton's top advisors in 1992 led to a high profile denial of Casey's request to address the Democratic National Convention in 1992.
Casey never forgave the slight and his passionate opposition to abortion led to huge political consequences for Democratic candidates in the state. Both US Senator Harris Wofford seeking reelection and Lt Governor Mark Singel running for governor in 1994 lost in some measure because Casey turned his back on these pro-choice candidates.
The abortion issue dominated state politics in 1990. Casey, seeking reelection, easily dispatched a primary opponent, abortion rights supporter Phil Berg. He then drew the state's Auditor General Barbara Hafer as his Republican opponent in a campaign highlighted by her support for abortion rights. Hafer had a difficult time winning her own primary against pro-life candidate, Peg Luksik, who won 46-percent of the vote.
Casey won re-election by more than a million votes. In the legislative races, abortion dominated many of the campaigns, creating more volatility than usual and more incumbents were unseated--17 in House elections, more than in the previous decade or after.
Now, a decade later, this turbulent period in state politics has been encapsulated in the debate over the Alito nomination. A judge and a decision once little more than a footnote to that tempestuous era have become the very symbol of it. At this point, it's unclear whether Judge Alito's fate is tied to his role in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. But it seems likely that this long running epic in state history may yet have an epilogue.

BAD news for gamers
Has nobody figured out, that this platform sucks for games? Some are ok.. e.g. driving games that can be fully controlled with tilt, puzzle games, and there are definitely some interesting new game concepts.. but for proper hardcore shooters, trying to jab the right bits of the screen in anger just doesn't work.
The half-arsed attempts to render keys on the capacitive screen are laughable. For starters you lose half your screen realestate on poorly imitating something that is kept separate from the screen for a good reason, you are supposed to be able to hammer the crap out of it!
You can't feel a button rendered on a capacitive touchscreen, and it's not possible to press it. Ergonomically a disaster.
Sure, some developers can make more money developing for iPhone, business schmizzness, but won't somebody think of the children?? Without the ability to release their emotional stress through the physical means of the fire button we'll have a society populated entirely of rapists and high school uzi testers. ARE YOU HAPPY YET JOBS????

The Symbian OS kernel was designed from day 1 for embedded applications so will always be more suited to efficient power limited environments than the monolithic Linux, no matter how much they might strip Linux down for Maemo/Android.
It's been the grotesquely inefficient and forever bloating app-engine and UI layers (S60 and UIQ) that have let its performance down. So it's never really had a chance to shine, and it's starting to look like perhaps it never will.

@AC, cyclists pay the same amount for road upkeep as drivers
using centralised (income tax) and localised (council tax) money.
So in fact drivers are freeloading off cyclists, as their vehicles are the ones that actually wear out the roads.
Should they pay Vehicle Excise Duty (I guess what you mean by road tax)? For a near-zero emissions driver-powered vehicle... really?

The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel has been closed for nearly two years to retrofit the tunnel for Link Light Rail. Bus routes were moved to surface streets and a section of Third Avenue was designated buses only to keep congestion down.
When the tunnel opens again on September 24, 18 routes will be moved to the tunnel. Metro plans on relocating stops for dozens of bus routes onto Third Avenue. Routes currently operating on First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Avenues will be moved to keep other traffic flowing through the downtown core.
A recent Metro report showed the restricted transit only hours of 6-9 a.m. and 3-6:30 p.m. helps traffic move through the city. Drivers will continue to have unlimited access to Third Avenue between 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. and on nights and weekends.
The light at the end of the light rail tunnel
In May 2007, the tunnel boring machine working on the Link Light Rail tunnel reached its destination: the other side of Beacon Hill.
The 300-foot long drill was used to bore through the hillside to create one of two tunnels for Seattle's new light rail line. Crews started the 4,300 foot long journey in January 2006. They excavated more than 50,000 cubic yards of dirt as the drill churned through the hillside. The tunnel was lined with more than 800 pre-cast concrete segments.
In June, the machine will be disassembles and transported back to the north side of the hill to start on the second tunnel. The fist tunnel is for the southbound light rail, the second will be for northbound trains. The tunnels will service the Beacon Hill Light Rail Station which will be 160 feet underground.
Construction of the light rail line began in 2003 and is more than 70 percent complete. Operators hope to have the route up and running by 2009. The route will begin at Westlake Plaza and run to Sea-Tac Airport. Stops will run through downtown, Beacon Hill, the Central District and Tukwila. Plans are in the works for an expansion of the line to Tacoma, as well as up to Capitol Hill, the University of Washington and Northgate.
To see the tunnel boring machine in action, watch the news segment of the 5/11/07 episode of City Inside/Out.
Light Rail link to head east and south of Seattle
Commuters crossing Lake Washington learned more about the proposed East Link Project from Sound Transit. Workshops held in late March and early April 2007 in Seattle and Eastside communities allowed participants to hear more about proposed stops and contribute ideas to make commuting in the Seattle area easier.
The proposed East Link Light Rail consists of 19 miles, connecting downtown Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue, Overlake, and Redmond via I-90. The project is an east-west extension of the Central Link Light Rail that ranges from Northgate to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Funding may also be available to extend the route south of Seattle to Tacoma. Original plans called the extension to run only to Fife.
Sound Transit receives surprise funding from President Bush
President George W. Bush's proposed Fiscal Year 2008 budget included an additional $10 million for Sound Transit's University Link Light Rail - money officials weren't expecting. The President's budget also included $70 million the agency was hoping to receive.
The University Link Light Rail extension is one of two national projects listed in the President's budget as "Proposed Full Funding Grant Agreements." Sound Transit officials plan to complete the grant application for the light rail route later this year. They expect to start construction on the route in 2009. The route would be an extension from downtown Seattle north through Capitol Hill to Husky Stadium.
The proposed $70 million would be used to help fund current light rail construction between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport. Sound Transit estimates to have that route open in 2009. The route includes stops in South Seattle and Tukwila.
UW Light Rail route gets key support
Good news for Seattle commuters: the planned Light Rail tunnel from Westlake Plaza to the University of Washington received key support from transportation officials.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said she'll recommend the link for $750 million from Congress. Peters made the announcement while touring Sound Transit's construction site in Seattle November 27, 2006.
Sound Transit officials will now spend about $35 million dollars to continue design work for the route and expansion. The federal funds will only cover a portion of the $1.7 billion dollar price tag.
Construction is expected to start on the three-mile route by 2009. The route will consist of a tunnel through Capitol Hill with one stop at Broadway and East John Street and an underground stop near Husky Stadium. A UW official says the University is supportive of the proposed stop at Husky Stadium and that they are finalizing the agreement with Sound Transit. The UW Light Rail route is expected to be open by 2016.
Officials estimate about 40,200 people will regularly use that route by 2030.

(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
This article:
is a good summary of build tools. The comments include more build tool alternatives and impressions of them. I especially like the comment from Nello summarizing his experience with certain build tools.
I think that an old blogpost of mine can add to this article.
Using a build tool is usually a recommended practice, but that doesn't always have to be the case. Sometimes with one-off applications, having a decent IDE config that your CI server can use is just fine (say TeamCity build server, van build IDEA and VisualStudio projects).
Also, with the years I've seen that knowing your build tool and having experience with build processes has much bigger impact on the build process quality than which tool do you actually use.
Once you've got a good build infrastructure in place, and you've written several build scripts for other projects, I think you'll find that adding a build script for a smaller or one off project isn't a big deal.
In my opinion and experience not having a good build script is a short cut that costs us more time than we realize.
I've heard Andy Hunt say on more than one occasion "Do it right from day one or you never will." He's right... after the project is rolling and in full "Get it done!" mode, we rarely have time to go back and add in the key infrastructure bits. We just keep wasting a little extra time every day without realizing how it adds up.
I'll stop preaching now. :) One last analogy... when is it easiest to fix a cracked foundation on a house? Just after you've poured the foundation (and discovered the crack)? Or after you've built a house on top of it? You can always fix somethings later (I do believe in YAGNI), but I also firmly believe that some infrastructure bits shouldn't be skipped.
Jared, I actually agree with your sentiment, but to play a devil's advocate: if an intern is in for 2 weeks I'd rather have him work on some project where they can get exposure to the business domain rather than spend the time learning how to do build scripts. Even something as easy as learning how to set up Maven archetypes takes some time for a beginner (mostly due to all kind of restrictions in corp. environments).
Typically such projects end up as useful utilities, where everybody cares about the end result and nobody plans to maintain the source as it would be easier to rewrite it. You might argue that this is disservice to the intern in question, but I would say that this kind of exposure to real working environment, is more valuable than trying to teach them how to be good programmers in 14 days.

The name Paice will be familiar to anyone who's been deep in the weeds of hybrid history, but it will probably be new to anyone who simply drives one. The key part of the story is something called "HyperDrive," which is the name given to a gas-electric powertrain technology developed by Alex Severinsky and patented in 1994. HyperDrive is a way to get the energy from both the electric battery and the engine into the wheels, seamlessly. The patents are held by Paice, which is an unusual company (its HQ is a house in a retirement community, right by a golf course) that does nothing but litigate. You can read more on Paice here.
The latest case targets Ford and the hybrid and plug-in versions of the C-Max and Fusion models as well as the Lincoln MKZ. Paice claims that it held "over 100 meetings and interactions with Ford" between 1999 and 2004, and gave the automaker, "detailed information about the hybrid technology that Paice had developed." The suit also alleges that:
The suit is officially known as, "Paice LLC v. The Ford Motor Co., 14-492, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (Baltimore)" and you can read the PDF here. Ford told AutoblogGreen, "we do not comment on pending litigation."
For more than five years, Paice answered inquiries from multiple departments within Ford, believing in good faith that a business relationship between Paice and Ford would be mutually beneficial and advance the acceptance of Paice's technology. ... After years of Ford learning the details of Paice's hybrid drivetrain technology, Ford elected not to enter into a business relationship with Paice.
Toyota settled a similar patent-infringement case in 2010 and now pays Paice almost $100 for every hybrid it sells. Paice is still in court against Hyundai and Kia. In 2010, Ford also settled with Paice but they agreed to keep negotiating on other issues until at least January 1, 2014. With that date now in the past, it didn't take long for Paice to file papers to get the two sides back before a judge. That's where it appears to be most comfortable.

I wish someone would have told me that, just because I'm a girl, I don't have to get married. ~Marlo Thomas, feminist and founder of Free to Be You and Me
Feminists speak against marriage as an out-dated, patriarchal, oppressive institution. They have been doing this for about forty years or so now. Several months ago, feminist Kate Harding wrote:
Heterosexual marriage is a tremendously antifeminist institution. It's all tangled up with times when women were considered their husband's property, with religions in which they still are, with the exclusion and marginalization of queer people, with the expectation of childbearing, etc., etc.
Yet many feminist leaders end up married (or occassionally in quasi-marriage partnerships). Here is Ms. Harding engaging in that "tremendously antifeminist institution" herself, with a man no less:
And she isn't the only one. Nearly all feminist leaders are married or partnered. Feminist activist and author Jessica Valenti writes, in her article My big feminist wedding:
As I grew up and began identifying myself as a feminist, there were plenty of issues that continued to make me question marriage: the father "giving" the bride away, women taking their husband's last name, the white dress, the vows promising to "obey" the groom. And that only covers the wedding. Once you get married, women are still implicitly expected to do the majority of the housework and take care of any future children. I remember reading one study that said that even couples who had been living together for years in equitable bliss ended up with a more "traditional" division of household labour if they got married – as though signing that piece of paper somehow skewed their sense of fair play.
Physical attractiveness and a pleasant attitude are not necessary for a feminist to snag a man, as Lindy West proves:
Amanda Marcotte is partnered with DJ Marc Faletti:
Tracy Clark-Flory from Salon yammers on about how she opposed marriage and all the wedding trappings…that is until it was her turn:
One of the first things I told my fiancé after we got engaged was, "I am not wearing a fucking white dress."
Fast-forward to now, mere days before the wedding, and I am wearing a fucking white dress. That isn't all. I spent hundreds of dollars on makeup and makeovers. I purchased multiple pairs of sparkly high-heeled shoes that left me limping after trying them on. I crash-dieted. I bought a pair of Spanx, a modern girdle (a contradiction in terms if there ever was one). One evening I earnestly told my fiancé, "Maybe I should wear fake eyelashes for the wedding." Without missing a beat, he replied, "Baby … remember feminism?"
I barely could.
Heck, even the grandmother of sex-positive feminism herself, Gloria Steinem, who infamously quipped A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle!, was eventually able to reel in a husband, though he died within several years of their marriage:
Oh, and Marlo Thomas, who wishes someone had told her she never had to get married? Yep, she's married, too, to Phil Donahue.
Isn't that nice? Do as I say, girls, not as I do.
Why is this? It is because the leaders of feminism are often well-educated, higher IQ and white:
Feminists' anti-marriage rhetoric and pro-slut cheerleading filter down to the less-educated, lower IQ, and non-white women who would most benefit from marriage. Marriage confers upon women real economic benefit. It isn't oppressive at all; rather, marriage frees women from instability and poverty.
But who cares what is good for women? Well, their children do:
Behold what feminism hath wrought for the other half of the bell curve who have been liberated from the shackles of marriage. We can find them on Cafe Mom on the Single Moms threads. In their own words:
on Jun. 5, 2013 at 1:37 PM
where can I go to get financial help with my bills that I have?? Im so having a hard time.
on Jun. 5, 2013 at 1:37 PM
I would like to thank everyone for letting me join this site im a single mother and I work but right now we are in a shelter and im desperete to get out please help
However, it isn't just poverty; even when controlling for income, children from single-mother households fair significantly worse on measures of well-being than their peers from two-parent households.
In a recent article at The Atlantic, Marriage Makes Our Children Richer—Here's Why, W. Bradford Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, gives some interesting statistics:
Among less-educated families, the children of married parents earn about $4,000 more than their peers from non-intact families.
…men and women who hail from intact families are about 40 percent less likely to father or bear a child outside of wedlock. This is important because nonmarital childbearing reduces your odds of successfully getting and staying married down the road, maximizing your income, and of providing a stable home to your children.
…adults "exposed to unilateral divorce regulations as children are less well educated, have lower family incomes, marry earlier but separate more often, and have higher odds of suicide." Indiana psychologist Brian D'Onofrio, relying on a study of twins, also found that young adults from divorced homes did worse than their cousins from intact homes (the cousins had parents who were twins) when it came to substance abuse and behavioral problems.
His conclusion?
The intact, two-parent family seems to be particularly important for children hailing from less privileged homes and a powerful force for economic mobility when it's the family norm at the community level.
So, the people who would most benefit from marriage's stabilizing and enriching influence are now the people least likely to get and stay married.
An ideological movement started by high-IQ, well-educated white women, which is still primarily led by such women, has created a situation in which high-IQ, well-educated white feminists get married while their poorer, less-educated, lower-IQ, non-white sisters who actually really need marriage for their and their children's well-being, no longer marry.
Feminists: always making life worse for women and children.

Expertise for one

The World of Warcraft Armory
Expertise for one
Put an exp/stam gem in the legs.
The Ony talisman is good if you need resistances for a certain fight, kinda iff otherwise. Get your Triumphs together and get Glyph of Indotimability. In addition, replace EoG with The Black Heart from HTOC. It's essentially the same trinket, but better.
HHoR drops a better shield, though good luck with the drop rate. Mine took 13 tries. Or you could do TOC10 for the shield there. And for bracers, Saronite Swwordbreakers are crafted and easy to come by.
Lastly save up your frosts..the belt or the cloak should be your first purchase. And get a new enchant on the shoulders...the pvp one gives 30 stam is only requires a small amount of honor. And you can drop the defense enchant on your clear and replace it with armor or agility (pref armor).

The Pan African Veterinary Conference was hosted at various locations within the University of Pretoria's Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, Agricultural Research Council and Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute from 7 October. The conference was aimed at celebrating the centenary of the founding of Onderstepoort, focusing on the impact of animal diseases on food security in and the economic development of Africa.
Speaking to academics and professionals in the veterinary field from all over the globe, President Motlanthe said government has the task to immediately look at ways and means of adopting a co-operative approach to support Onderstepoort management.
"It is in the interests of all of us, especially in the face of adverse global conditions which impact negatively on food security; to work together to ensure that our people do not face the spectre of hunger and starvation," the President explained. "Already government has, through the strategic plan of Southern Africa, formed partnership with the agricultural sector to realise our vision of increasing food production and ensuring household and national food security. Accordingly, I would like to extend an invitation to the private sector within veterinary field to work together with government towards the delivery of services in this crucial sector."
The conference was a joint venture of the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, National Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, Onderstepoort Biological Products and the South African Veterinary Association.

A Southern California-to-Las Vegas party train is being called "a nightclub on rails," and the company behind the train hopes San Diegans will decide to get on board instead of drive or fly next time they travel to Sin City.
The Las Vegas Railway Express said its X Train is the best alternative to driving or flying to Las Vegas.
A $99 ticket each way will get you from Southern California to Las Vegas in five and a half hours.
The trip will include all-you-can-eat food.
There will be two "ultra-lounges" on board the X train.
In addition, each of the 12 passenger cars compartments will have a bar.
The train doesn't come to San Diego, so anyone interested will have to take a train or drive to Fullerton, where the X Train originates. The first trip is planned for New Year's Eve 2013.
