Is 2013 the End of Apple?
Cook may squawk at people who said iPad mini would fail. I know I will. And we should. As a product, mini was a can't miss as long as Apple didn't cut corners on quality or price. To Cook's credit, it did not skimp.
But it will be like winning the ALCS or the NFC Championship. Spray some champagne on the naked guy at the locker next to you and get ready for what really matters. Apple's fate gets sealed with the launch of Apple TV, whenever that will be.
Wilkinson lays out a pretty objective case on the prospects of Apple TV (link at the beginning of this article). He sets up a best-case scenario where everything Apple wants and needs to happen to produce something even close to as disruptive as iPod, iPhone and iPad happens. You can tell by his early admission and subsequent tone that the Asbury Park resident is skeptical. People from Springsteen country are smart!
I'm on the record as bearish Apple TV.It's not that I don't think it will be a good product. It will be. Everything Apple does is good. I just don't see any way it can be groundbreaking unless Tim Cook can twist Hollywood's arm the way Steve Jobs did the music industry's. No matter how poor Apple's competition is across spaces, no matter how many units its iconic products continue to sell, the time to be bearish will come when we know once and for all that the next big thing isn't certain to come. For now, Apple deserves the benefit of the doubt. Investors should give the company that much and continue to buy its stock for the foreseeable future. Follow @rocco_thestreet

Kevin Ding column: In reviewing the failed NBA career of Javaris Crittenton, the Lakers' 2007 first-round pick now accused of murder, it becomes evident that he never balanced his impassivity with his intensity. ... For more news, visit our Lakers blog.
Javaris Crittenton moved up the aisle until he found his row. He waited for a moment, then patiently and slowly slid over to his seat along with the young lady with him.
He wasn't at the movie theater for just another date night.
He was at Staples Center.
It was Section 112, an excellent seat not far behind Jeanie Buss, and it was a night for excitement, as is always the case for a Lakers home playoff game.
For Crittenton, it was a night for mixed emotions.
It was 2008, and he had no official loyalty left toward the home team, which had traded him a few months earlier – giving up early and eagerly on its first-round draft pick to acquire Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies.
The trade transformed the Lakers, then and now, officially reeling Kobe Bryant in to cuddle close again with the only franchise he has ever known: "It shows a level of commitment that I questioned over the summer," Bryant said when the deal went down.
And the Lakers marched through those 2008 playoffs, losing only in the NBA Finals after six games … but winning the '09 and '10 Finals.
Meanwhile, Crittenton's career gradually fell to pieces – and now there is a much bigger picture looking shattered.
Crittenton, 23, has been charged with murdering an Atlanta woman. He left Atlanta for Los Angeles after the Aug. 19 alleged shooting but was arrested Monday night at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana.
Crittenton had sat and watched that 2008 game from his seat facing the Lakers' bench without much expression. It was hard to tell if Crittenton was still rooting for his old team.
But an impassive countenance was nothing unusual for Crittenton, who wore it through most of the four months he got to slip those sloped shoulders inside the Lakers' jersey No. 1. The lack of outward expression left his Lakers teammates and coaches believing Crittenton was too stuck in his own head to get into his team's game.
Crittenton was behind Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar at the Lakers' lead guard position, limited by his poor decision-making and outside shooting. Still, the Lakers saw potential in him – such great speed on a 6-foot-5 frame – same as did the Grizzlies in trading for Crittenton even though they already had a young point guard in Mike Conley.
The Wizards also saw the upside in trading for Crittenton less than a year later and let him run the team very late in their very lost season. An ankle injury undermined any further opportunities, as did more playing-time complications with Gilbert Arenas back healthy and Randy Foye joining the team.
An injured Crittenton never played a minute of the 2009-10 season before he and Arenas were suspended for the rest of it by NBA commissioner David Stern after they brought guns into the Wizards' locker room before practice – making it an easy call for Washington not to bring Crittenton back to the team.
Entering last season, Crittenton got a tryout with the Charlotte Bobcats but couldn't make good on it. He signed a one-year contract to play in China – but was dismissed after half a month, according to niubball.com, for his inability to play well with others.
You could make a case that no one ever really gave Crittenton the full chance to do his thing as an NBA player, but he also never created his own opportunity – and certainly undermined himself with the gun incident with Arenas.
Crittenton's career became defined by that highly publicized transgression. It should be noted, however, that Crittenton had never been charged with a crime in his life before pleading guilty to misdemeanor gun possession from the Arenas incident. Crittenton's lawyers have proclaimed his innocence of this murder charge.

What is a root canal?
A root canal is an outpatient dental procedure that treats decay and infection deep inside your tooth. The roots of your teeth contain a tissue called pulp. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and other tissues. If your tooth is cracked, injured or decayed, the pulp can become infected. A root canal saves the tooth by cleaning out infected pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further problems.
A root canal is generally safe, but there are risks and potential complications. It is only one method used to treat tooth decay and infection. Discuss all of your treatment options with your dentist to understand which options are right for you.
Other procedures that may be performed
Your dentist may use a few different methods to assess the extent of the damage to your tooth before a root canal. The tests and devices used include:
- Apex locators are devices used to measure the length of root canals.
- Electric pulp testing helps determine the extent of disease and if pulp within your tooth is alive or not.
- X-rays are imaging tests that use radiation to make pictures of the inside of your mouth and teeth.

Upcoming Apple Store in Hamburg, Germany pranked by Windows fanbois (Updated)
When new Apple Stores are under construction, it's common for the front of the store to be hidden in a large black wooden structure. Yesterday morning, the black box at the new store in Hamburg, Germany was plastered with a nicely painted and quite artistic Windows logo, which was later painted over by a worker with a ladder and bucket of black paint. German Apple fan site iFun.de was sent some photos, allegedly by three different readers.
Being the skeptic that I am, I ran the photos through the Forensic Error Level Analysis tool to see if these were real photos or just nicely Photoshopped images. You can see the results here:
The results were inconclusive -- while the Windows logo did show signs of being a pasted-on Photoshop artifact, the appearance of colors on a stark black background can also cause artifacts to show up in the analysis tool. Closer inspection under magnification showed reflections of the correct shades in the window to the right of the logo.
So, it's up to TUAW readers to make the call. Are the photos real? Or did iFun.de get pranked instead of the Apple Store? Leave your comments below.
Update: Looks like the prank was real. The video below shows how the antic was pulled off.

Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Preliminary Ratings To BB-UBS Trust 2012-TFT
Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings for the BB-UBS Trust 2012-TFT transaction (see ratings list below). BB-UBS Trust 2012-TFT is a CMBS large loan transaction that is collateralized by three first mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of $552.9 million jointly originated by Barclays Bank PLC and UBS Real Estate Securities Inc.
The loans, which are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted, are each secured by a super-regional mall that are owned and operated by General Growth Properties, Inc. The largest of the three loans has a balance of $205.5 million and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the borrower's fee and leasehold interests in 667,561 square feet (sf) of the Tucson Mall, a 1.3 million sf property located in Tucson, Arizona. The second largest loan has a balance of $202.0 million and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the borrower's fee and leasehold interest in 421,206 sf of Fashion Place, which is a 1.0 million sf property located in Murray, Utah. The final loan that serves as trust collateral has a balance of $145.4 million and is secured by first mortgage lien on the borrower's fee and leasehold interests in 416,516 million sf of the Town East Mall, which is a 1.2 million sf property located in Mesquite, Texas.
KBRA's analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of each malls' cash flows using our CMBS Property Evaluation Guidelines, and the application of our CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. The results of the analysis produced an individual KNCF for each property. We applied KBRA capitalization rates to each property's KNCF to arrive at KBRA value, the results of which are highlighted below.
- Tucson Mall: an 8.50% cap rate to KNCF of $23.6 million, resulting in a KBRA value of $277.7 million, which is 30.6% off of the appraisal value.
- Fashion Place: a 7.50% cap rate to KNCF of $20.8 million, resulting in a KBRA value of $277.8 million, which is 27.3% off of the appraisal value.
- Town East Mall: an 8.25% cap rate to KNCF of $16.3 million, resulting in a KBRA value of $197.9 million, which is 22.1% off of the appraisal value.
In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering and environmental reports, as well as our own on-site inspections of the properties and the competition.

Though this unit had a lot of assembly steps, everything was well labeled and went together well. It's perfect for a small space. Quality seems good. CDs could easily get knocked out of side slots, but they hold okay if you're careful. Keyboard tray requires a bit of pressure to slide in and out, but this keeps it steady while using.
I'm happy with the Computer Desk and think it is a good value for the money. It takes alot of time to assemble but if you follow the directions it is not hard or confusing. I liked the fact that the side panel for a CPU could be omitted since I'm using the desk for a notebook computer. The only complaint I have is that the particle board surfaces blemish very easily and were dinged in two place when I opened the carton. For the money, it is a good cholce.
The desk was as advertised and is made very well, the instructions were pretty bad though, but once it was assembled it looked great.
Totally happy with the product. super easy to put together. Everything was labeled and all the screws were in separate bags and labeled. There was only one tiny screw hole that was a fraction offset, just made a little harder to screw in, but all other holes were completely accurate. It also came with the tools needed to put the desk together. I thought that was a great addition. I once bought a compact desk from a store, years ago, and it was horrible. None of the holes lined up. Nothing was labeled...but this desk compact desk we got is absolutely wonderful. I looks great too. I would recommend to all my friends.
We bought this desk for my 9 year old daughter for Xmas. She has limited space in her room. It fit the space perfect! The desk looks nice and she loves it! It took 3 of us to put it together, probably because the project manager was a teenager!! One of the boards was crunched on the end but we were lucky that it faced the wall and doesnt show. She has not gotten up from the desk for 4 hours nor has she destroyed it as of yet, so I give it a thumbs up so far!
This was a joy to recieve and assemble. It went smoothly with no problems, assembles in less than 30 minutes, less time that it took to take the old desk out!
This is a wonderful desk, and serves its purpose well for the price. I was able to assemble it in under an hour.

|Great Pick
Review by
Jesse from Surrey, BC, Canada
This Combo is great. I didn't want to add too much bass and this combo was just right. If your looking to add some bass to your system this is a good choice. It rattles my Honda accord pretty good. I can feel it from my trunk in the front seat. If your a bass junkie and want to rattle your car apart i would recommend a higher wattage setup but overall the quality is great. Also it comes all pre loaded so the install is quick and easy.

A Dozen Hot Tips for Starting a Bakery
Be focused. If self-financing is your only answer, consider starting slow and small. Grove's start-up cost was a modest $25,000, because he shared the expense of a kitchen with a restaurant and focused on wholesale for the first two years. He opened a retail location, Wicked Bakery & Café, in 2006 only after demand from customers grew too loud to ignore. The cost: $160,000.
Another way to get a foothold: Develop a niche. That could be learning what the local competition does not do well. It could be unearthing a family recipe and promoting the hell out of it. Edibles Incredible Desserts started with a little kiosk at the local mall selling fudge made from a secret recipe and toffee. After three months, owners Alan and Robyn Furman knew they had a business when they did $60,000 in sales and people wouldn't bother taking the escalator up to the Godiva.
Freebies are a must. To further break out of the pack, the Virginia and Vermont-based dessert company offers free samplings once a month of cakes, fudge, cupcakes and any new product they're developing. "I always believe that you sample, sample and sample," says Robyn. "You'll get more back than what you give."
Consider allergy-free. Given the growing number of people who have food allergies, offering desserts and sweets catering to this market could be another means to differentiate yourself from the competition. Whenever Seema Kalia needs an egg-free birthday cake for her kids, she turns to Edie Connolly of New York City's Cakes 'N Shapes. Her cakes are not only egg-free, they're baked in a nut-free environment.

Going to the dentist regularly is important to ensure that an individual's teeth are not being damaged. There are many common oral health problems that people will ignore for months, not realizing that they can lead to greater concerns. For example, the Mayo Clinic states that bruxism,or teeth grinding, can cause facial pain, tension headaches and cracked teeth. Recently, CNN pointed out another concern regarding teeth grinding, which is interrupted sleep. The news source spoke to Lisa Shives, M.D., the founder of Northshore Sleep Medicine in Illinois, who said that bruxism can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea."If you are - or suspect you are - a grinder, see your dentist to evaluate if there is any damage to your teeth. A visit to a sleep specialist is warranted if there are other symptoms," said Shives, quoted by the news source.This is a problem that can be dealt with by talking to the dentist. Many people may not even realize they have an issue with teeth grinding, and a dental health professional can let people know that they are experiencing bruxism before pain symptoms develop.

Bank of America's Madison location will be closing its doors July 18, 2014, primarily due to a decline in physical transactions at the bank building itself, according to spokesperson Matthew Daily of Bank of America.
"We thought a lot about this and gave it careful consideration," said Daily, adding that the decline was mainly due to customers relying more and more on alternate methods of banking, using online banking services, ATMs, and even taking pictures with their smart phones to conduct transactions from remote locations, meaning that there was less and less of a need for them to come to an actual building to do their banking.
People are simply using other ways to bank as technology has opened up several convenient alternatives to the traditional bank building with tellers, and made a lot of things possible that weren't on the horizon 20, 15 or even 10 years ago.
"We see the same kind of trend in other places," said Daily, but not all places are equally affected by the decline in foot traffic. When customer use of a building declines past the point that it becomes questionable that keeping it open is a responsible business decision, then that location is usually closed, as was the case with Madison.
On April 4, Bank of America sent out letters to all the customers of that location to give them ample time to locate the next closest BOA (in Live Oak), and to let them know that even after the building itself closes its doors in July, the ATM will remain there for quite some time. In fact, it will remain there and be operational until the replacement ATM is ready at another location. That other location isn't yet known, but it is in the permitting stage, awaiting approval. Another letter will go out to let customers know when it is approved and when it will be up and running.
Daily emphasized that there would be no interruption of ATM service during that time, and that the old one at the bank would remain operational until the replacement at the new location was ready.
Bank of America has owned that Madison location since 1996, when it was known as Nationsbank. Before then, the building was occupied by a local banking institution. The property has had a history of being a banking location since 1972.
After the new Bank of America ATM is ready to replace the old one, that proerty will be offered for sale. At the moment, though, that is still several months away, at least.
"We understand that people will miss their tellers," said Daily, "But they'll still be able to bank with Bank of America though alternative means."

Dear Soaps,I watch The Bold and the Beautiful pretty regularly, but have missed some shows this summer. I'm totally confused by the Morgan pregnancy storyline. I knew she asked Ridge to father her child and he refused. Did he change his mind, because now Morgan is pregnant? Why is Ridge acting so surprised about the whole thing? Is she trying to keep her pregnancy a secret? Please shed some light on the situation. — Tracey
Dear Tracey,
Ridge initially refused to be the donor for Morgan, who wants desperately to have his baby. Then, Taylor went out of town to visit her ill father, Jack Hamilton. Sensing a window of opportunity, Morgan forged an email from "Taylor" telling Ridge that it was okay if he acted as the donor. Then, a vague phone message from Taylor led Ridge to believe that she had no problem with him fathering the child through a night of lovemaking. Ridge was duped. Neither he nor Taylor had any idea what Morgan was up to. Recently, Ridge confronted Morgan about her machinations. Morgan hopes to keep anyone else from finding out what's transpired at least until she's well into her second trimester. (MJM)

When I first went online back in 1998 I participated in a lot of cybersex. I cybered with a lot of strangers in the beginning, then I got involved with a roleplaying group and had found a particular partner there. Then I moved on and later found Master. W/we continued to cyber together after W/we married, but W/we haven't cybered in many years now. I think that W/we both grew out of it.
For a cyber partner I need one that has imagination. Please come up with something more original that he's the cable guy and I'm a woman at home alone. *rolls eyes* And for heaven's sake, type more than one line at a time! Before I met Master I had stopped cybering for a long time because it had become boring and a waste of my time.

Escapee Showcase: Hyeon Joon Kang
As some of you may know, we recently launched a new course called "Visual Effects Animation Professional". Well, our first group of students from the courses have been handing their projects in and I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase a fantastic piece of work by Hyeon Joon Kang. His work clearly shows how the VFX pipeline works and if we retrace his steps, we can take a closer look at each part of the process. Joon's project is a great illustration of what we teach in this new course and what you can achieve in just 18 weeks with us.

With no professional training at all, he took it upon himself to learn all of the software that enabled him to create such a professional looking showreel. Check out the Reveal Event video, created by The Mill, to find out why Daniel was pretty much speechless when he found out.

Hi, I assume that while you are here you want to learn about the Banana Religion
Listen to the Banana Anthem!!!!!
So, to start off there was nothing but a small Banana, this Banana was to be known as GOLDENBANANA. GOLDEN was lonely as he drifted around in the void so he created the universe but he still felt alone so he created the Earth and filled it with living creatures. These creatures lived in peace and worshiped their mighty creator…For a time…
Soon the people, the animals and the world itself came to hate the Banana God and they rebelled, cutting off all ties to their worship and openly denouncing him. GOLDENBANANA was furious, in his rage he created the Banana Army and attempt to take over the Human realm. The leader of this army, known as The Mighty Banana, was created from the right hand of GOLDENBANANA and was living proof of the sacrifices that the God was prepared to make in order to have Revenge.
The army of Mortals and the army of Bananas clashed in bloody conflict in both realms, many fell on both sides and the soon the mortals were winning the battle. In his desperation, GOLDENBANANA split in two, forming GodlyBanana and a terrible entity known as Banarmagedon. GodlyBanana was kind and attempted to make peace with the Mortals but they could not be stopped, Banarmagedon took a more direct approach and flushed out all but a handful of each species of the Mortals.
After hearing of his deeds, GodlyBanana banished Banarmagedon from the universe and settled down to gently guide the Mortals so they did not die out. Eventually, PlatinumBanana was created so that GodlyBanana would have an heir to his title and so that there would never be a chance that another Banarmagedon was formed in a desperate move.
Then, one day, a young human man spoke for the Mortals and said, "We are beginning to live in fair of you, O Mighty One, we wish to have one of our own live under you and have a say in the decisions of the Gods." There was no response for a time. Then, about a month later, the same young man saw that his skin was become softer and more yellow. This process lead to the creation of ButterBanana, the once mortal servant of the Gods.
The Gods now live in harmony with the Mortals but only time will tell if it will last…

Slovakia's state budget gap up to over €1.5 billion
5 May 2014 Flash News
SLOVAKIA's state budget deficit in April widened by over €430 million, according to the data of the Finance Ministry, based on which after four months of this year the deficit totalled €1.516 billion. In yearly terms, this is a decline by over €440 million, the SITA newswire reported.
Overall budget revenues increased by 0.8 percent year-on-year to €3.458 billion this year and expenses soared by 10.4 percent to €4.974 billion.
The ministry commented that despite the figures, the percentage of fulfillment of budgeted expenditures currently reaches 28.6 percent of the annual projection, SITA reported.
Overall government revenue increased year-on-year by €29.1 million. Tax revenue, which accounts for a considerable portion of overall government revenue, dropped by 1.7 percent to €2.786 billion. Behind the drop are, in particular, lower revenue from corporate income tax, down by €110 million.
"This is connected with the possibility to request a postponement of the tax due date, which was not possible last year," SITA quoted the Finance Ministry as stating in the report. "Moreover, the development so far suggests a positive risk in the case of corporate income tax for the years 2013 and 2014."
A negative trend was observed within transfers from the budget of the European Union, which decreased by €260.6 million from last year. Within the total expenditures, the cost of government debt service rose by €193.5 million, as coupon payments of €185 million on government bonds were made in April.

I like the way you have to fit in a new culture, it's always different.
My dream is travel around the world showing my ponit of view about graphic desing and to complement it with many cultures that can help me to create a message that cans to break paradigms of different languages and cultures because i think that we all are part of the same world and we can comunicate between us trough the universal language "the concept".

DON'T go here. He has had my watch for almost 2 years. Whenever I go in he is rude and acts as if I'M the difficult one. He says it's not lost - but he can't find it! He told me ages ago that he couldn't fix it because his hands were crippled. I accepted that , but he can't find it.
When i was in today, he was playing his answerphone messages - half of them were people complaining that he'd had there watch for far too long!
I would give this no stars if there were such a rating.

No celebrating here. The best I probably did was putting on my puke-green apron at work, like every other workday. :/ I'm a wee bit Irish, and like the story of St. Paddy's Day, but I don't drink, and I'm a vegetarian, so the food options are pretty limited, too, haha.

Hole In One
Posted: September 27, 2011
Our group of retired telephone workers get together every sept.for a lot of good food,drinks and most of all laughs in north central pa. Our final round of golf found us at Tyoga Country Club in Wellsboro. when we got to a very scenic 153 yrd. hole #5 surrounded by bunkers with a small stream in front,I was amazed as the rest when my 7 iron titelist pro-v1 landed 3 ft. passed the cup,backed up and disappered. HI FIVES all around.
I had my first hole-in-one two weeks ago (9-13-2011). I used an 8 iron on the 160 yard par 3, 17th hole of The Elms Country Club in Massillon, OH. It was a well struck shot, dead at the pin. We knew it has close, but, the hole was tucked behind the lip of a bunker and could not be seen from the tee. When we got to the green and didn't see my ball I assumed it was either long or short, turns out I was wrong, it was in the hole! Oh, by the way, this was during our league championship round, the match was neck-and-neck through 16...
While playing the Heron Lakes Greenback course in Portland Oregon on Friday Sept. 23 with 2 close friends and a pickup guy, I scored 2 holes-in-one on the same 9 with the same ball. No. 3 is about 130 yds., and No. is about 180 yds. Both shots were basically hit the same, just to the left of the flag and they hit on the front edge and rolled in like a putt. I read online that the odds of getting 2 holes-in-one on the same rounmd is about 1 in 67,000,000. I shouold have bought a lottery ticket!
This hole looks like a piece of cake on paper. 66yrd par 3. Not much else. What you dont realize is that most of the time the pin placement is in such a tough spot that you have to almost run it up there. If you hit the green chances are you will run it off into the ravine that is just behind it.
Well this day I was playing my normal early morning Sunday game with a good friend. We get up to the hole and as normal I take my 60 degree out and just think about landing it short and having it check up. I put a good swing on it and though for sure I was in the water. The ball landed in the perfect spot and tracked to the hole and in. I was in shock. My friend was going crazy. I stood there in shock, its such a good feeling when you see that ball disappear in the hole. It's such a good feeling walking to the green and not having to use your putter. And its also great seeing a 1 one the score card
I started playing golf five years ago. I am attending Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington, Wyoming, on a Golf Scholarship. On September 15 and 16th, we were hosting the Torrington Invitational College Golf Tournament. The second day started off ok and I was on my second hole. I tee'd off and we were all watching the ball. It looked like it possibly hit the flag on the pin. When we walked down to the green we couldn't find the ball. One of the players said, "let's look in the cup". Sure enough - there was my ball!!! Definitely an amazing day!!!!

FLJ4010T: Japanese II (2014-2015)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Virtual School Program
COURSE TITLE: Japanese II
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
SUGGESTED PREPARATION: Japanese I
Major Concepts/Content:
This course is a continuation of a beginning level course that will introduce the student to a variety of areas of language learning. In this course, the student will learn listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through activities that are based on pedagogically proven methods of foreign language instruction. Throughout the course, students learn to express themselves using an ever increasing vocabulary, present-tense verbs, articles, and adjectives.
Grammar is introduced and practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind. Culture is sprinkled throughout the course in an attempt to help the learner focus on the Japanese-speaking world and their culture, people, geographical locations and histories.
By the end of Level II in secondary school, students' exhibit increased comprehension through recognition of key words or phrases embedded in familiar contexts through a variety of media. They recognize structural patterns in target language narratives and derive meaning from these structures within familiar contexts. Students use illustrations and contextual clues to increase comprehension of written passages while reading simple documents and relatively simple literature. Students use short sentences, learned words, phrases, simple questions, and commands when speaking and writing, often relying on visuals to help themselves be understood. Students recombine learned vocabulary and structures to form simple sentences, short messages, and notes to meet practical writing needs. Students demonstrate increasing accuracy in pronunciation and intonation when presenting well-rehearsed material. Students show some understandings of the target-culture's practices and perspectives on topics such as typical music, holidays, meals, family and social customs. Students have limited fluency in the language yet may be understood by a sympathetic native speaker who prompts for clarification.
