When Your Child Receives a Poor Grade for Quality Work
By Peggy Post
Special Offers
You read your son's history essay, and it seemed like A+ work. But he got a C- on it! What do you do?
1. Go to the principal. There must be some issue between the teacher and your son. It's worth getting a third opinion.
2. Schedule a conference with the teacher to discuss the grading requirements.
3. Advise your son to ask the teacher how he could have made the essay better.
Correct Answer: (3). Encourage your son to go over the essay with the teacher and find out what would have made the paper worthy of an A. Remind your son to be polite and to listen carefully. If you're not satisfied with the answer he receives, then you can meet with the teacher yourself. You definitely shouldn't go to the principal until you've exhausted all other options: You don't want your son to get the idea that it's okay to go over the teacher's head.Latest Stories

Do the Movies Have a Future?
David Denby
In the second decade of the twenty-first century, the movies, once America's primary popular art form, have become an endangered species. Do the Movies Have a Future? is a rousing and witty call to arms. In these sharp and engaging essays and reviews, New Yorker movie critic David Denby weighs in on the frenzied, weightless action spectacles that dominate the world's

Since the '80s, when conglomerates first displaced directors as cinematic auteurs, critics have been actively engraving the tombstones of a twin burial plot: that of the movies and of their own function. These verbose laments for the transition from Truffaut to 'Transformers' are often slapped together with a best-of review collection and put out in book form. The New Yorker's David Denby is the latest intellectual-at-the-exit to be so marketed. His conclusions about a cinematic afterlife are th
Movies are commerce. Studios often produce bad movies. (As if they didn't in the 40s, 50s and 60s)Audiences love movie stars. There are too many movies with explosions and car chases. Technology has taken over the movie businessa -- and it ain't good. etc etc.
This is pretentious and superficial at the same time.

As with many books I decide to read, I came upon this one through an interview with author on RadioWest http://radiowest.kuer.org/post/do-mov..., which is worth listening to. I would give this 3 and half stars. Denby is the film critic for the New Yorker and this book is a collection of reviews and other essays which have appeared there and a few that have not been published before. With the death of Pauline Kael, Andrew Saris, Gene Siskel and most recently Roger Ebert, the film critic might be

In Do Movies Have a Future, Denby is the most insightful when he discusses the films and directors that affected him positively. When he's negative, he seems, to me, whiny and old. He states clearly that his preferences are for realism and, guess what, he doesn't like modern CGI spectaculars. The CGI spectaculars may be emblematic of our time, but they also represent a point where old critics don't get it anymore. Still, I have enjoyed Denby's writing in the past and this book is especially help

review of another edition
Highlights here are an excellent essay on Pauline Kael and her legacy (Denby was one of the much-discussed "Paulettes" back in the day), and numerous cranky observations on the state of film in the digital age, albeit with some rays of hope spraying through the increasingly thick clouds of doom. Enjoyed Denby's erudition and passion - a good book for film buffs looking to delve deeper into the art form.
I liked it more than I thought I would in the beginning but it really just made me miss Roger Ebert all over again. I didn't always agree with him but even when we were on opposite sides of an opinion I would love the way he hated something. Denby just makes me wish that he would avoid the things I like so that I wouldn't have to hear his obnoxious, judgmental opinion on it.
A fine collection by a fine critic. Although I disagree with Denby about many individual films, his reflections on the "conglomerate aesthetic" that may be the death of film art are dead on. More of a collection of New Yorker pieces than the title indicates, this is still a coherent and insightful book that any serious movie lover should look into.

choice . . .
I never quite understood the issue.
Windows comes with a few applications. So do a lot of other OSs. I can't recall Solaris7 asking me if I want to install a different browser than Netscape. Does MacOS ask you if you might consider not to use Safari as default? Windows doesn't give you the choice of using a different "Notepad", does it? Panasonic TVs dont ask you if you would prefer another UI for the EPG. And so on. And people chose: A lot of them went and bought Macs, because they don't ask that much; they know that you need your bum wiped and just do it for you.
You have the choice anyway. Just go and get something else. If you don't know about something else, then you are probably better off using the default, because you're likely to end up with a mess. I know several people that gave me a blank stare when I asked them which browser they use. Some then answered "Google" (as in search engine, not as in Chrome), or "TalkTalk" (a British ISP). One even said "Dell". Choice looks like a bad thing for these users because they can't make an informed decision anyway.
Thought experiment: Your doctor gives you the bad news and then asks: "Which drug would you prefer for your chemotherapy? You have 5 choices, right now." That must be a similar feeling to what Norma* Normaluser experiences with the browserchoice question. Luckily not so important.
IE isn't bad any more, even though I prefer Firefox personally. Opera seems to have gone "niche" and everthing else is a UI for WebKit. I think it's become a bit of a BMW, Audi or Jaguar choice.
* My apologies to all internet-savvy Normas. And all the other Normas, too.

I just wanted to post a message to those that know Soldiers that are deployed to the combat theatre. Many of us appreciate their sacrifices, and their dedication to the Nation. However, many forget or innocently just do not realize the sacrifices that the wives make to support their husbands and the country. Wives hold the house together and take care of the children. It's swimming lessons, soccer practice, school, dinner, baths, and night time stories. They also take care of fevers, sniffles, and scraped knees and bruises. Not to mention house repairs, ensuring the car's oil is changed tires replaced and everything that goes along with it. Husbands aren't there to comfort their wives when they are having a bad day, hurting for some reason, or just needs assurance that she is appreciated and needed. It takes a special woman to handle all these important things in the absence of the man of the house. So when we all think of those battle hardened soldiers that are out doing the hard work in the trenches, let's also remember and honor the wives of these men that sacrifice so much as well..
I have one of those, when I was active I sent this to her every military spouse day

[SIZE=+2]When God Created The Military Wife[/SIZE]  The Good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. Whats wrong with the standard model?"  The Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? She has to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to 4 or 40 with an hours notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant and has the flu, and she must be willing to move to a new location 10 times in 17 years. And oh yes, she must have six pairs of hands." The angel shook her head, "Six pair of hands? No way!"  The Lord continued, "Dont worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husbands achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say "I understand" when she doesnt and say, I love you regardless".  "Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently "Go to bed and get some rest. You can finish this tomorrow". "I cant stop now", said the Lord "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a depot, pier or runway and understand why its important that he leave."  The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed, "It looks fine, but its too soft". "She might look soft", replied the Lord, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure."

    	  Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lords creation. "Theres a leak", she announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. You are trying to put too much into this model."  The Lord appeared offended at the angels lack of confidence. "What you see is not a leak", he said, "Its a tear." "A tear? What is it there for?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Its for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and a dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear." "You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel.  The Lord looked puzzled and replied, "I didnt put it there".

Truth. Glad I was never married in Iraq. I had a Marine who came to me asking "Is it ok for my wife to have sex with other guys if there are no emotions? Its like masturbation...only with another person." Get the **** outta here.
In my early Navy days, we called them Med widows. As soon as the ship pulled out, they would come out of the woodwork hitting all the clubs. I dont think its like that anymore. On the flip side, I have been to several of my buddies retirements and the wives are given awards at the end of the ceremony in appreciation of their sacrifices.
The good ones far out weigh the bad ones............ There are some great men on the battlefield that have a great woman waiting for them back home...
It was common enough that I never got married while I was in. To be honest there's only a select few wives I knew that would qualify for praise. Most of the ones I saw drained their husband's bank account on stupid things or threatened to divorce when they got back. It's pretty bad when your dispersing office automatically enrolls married Marines in the split pay option.
I saw that in the early 90 when I was stationed in Hawaii At my retirement my wife was given a award signed by the SAF and President Bush, but I/the person setting up my retirement had to request the letter
I grew up as an Army brat and can testify to what the military wives did.... My mom went thru: 14 moves in 23 years, most of the time with dad already at the new duty station. Moving two kids to new schools and relocating to the other side of the country with 6 weeks notice. Dad's 2 tours in Vietnam... first one she just had one child, 2nd tour and she had two kids to deal with plus the knowledge that her husband was in combat. Having to deal with a spouse who was on TDY, schools, field exercises and alerts at all hours. I will say that the friends she made during that time she kept forever....a very tight knit group. All military wives have my deepest respect.... Woof Bowser

how to improve concentration power amongst 6 yrs old kids

It may sound silly, but I say try some stickers! (lol!) What I mean is that with my 6 year old I have had great luck with setting goals and offering small rewards. She has really learned to focus more on the task at hand. Good luck! : )
Magen - posted on 10/02/2009
I would start small and short then over time move to longer and harder tasks, but remember they're 6 they are not going to sit still for hours on end and read a book like a grown up. Also letting them know what happens after they do their work (like play time or snack time) can help the focus to get through. Hope this helps.

Death Valley Cracks Down on Hot Weather Eggs-periments
July 12, 2013
By The Los Angeles Times
On a recent visit to Death Valley National Park, as tourists kept watchful eyes on dueling thermometers and temperatures soared near-record highs, Roxanne Melchiori and her family admired the breathtaking badlands.
Then, she said, her 12-year-old daughter sniffed and made a face. It smelled like rotten eggs.
They looked down at their feet and spotted the culprit: an egg cracked open and left sitting on a rock, ostensibly by someone who thought it might just be hot enough to fry one. It looked more "crystallized" than cooked, said Melchiori, an accountant from Rhode Island.
"It was not frying," Melchiori said. "It was dripping down off the rock. And it was disgusting."
Park rangers aren`t too pleased with the eggs-periments, either. A Facebook post from the park`s page last week explained that maintenance crews had been "busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across the parking lot."
"This is your national park, please put trash in the garbage or recycling bins provided, and don`t crack eggs on the sidewalk," the post warned.
Melchiori and her family, who visited Death Valley over two days, saw evidence of another egg fry gone awry the next day when temperatures reached a sizzling 129 degrees.
Death Valley, which on Wednesday celebrated the 100th anniversary of recording the hottest temperature on Earth, has long been a must-see destination for extreme-weather buffs.
But after a park employee`s video of her egg-frying adventure (complete with pan and lid) went viral, many curious visitors have come armed with cartons of eggs. And some forgot their frying pans.
"I guess it would be funny, except that they made a mess," said Melchiori.
Cheryl Chipman, spokeswoman for Death Valley National Park, says it was "disheartening" to see so many shells and cartons left behind.
Chipman said, "129 degrees is pretty darn hot, and when you have to spend energy and time cleaning up a gooey stinking mess, you lose a little bit of faith in humanity."
The fried-egg stunts have waned over the last few days since a recent heat wave, but with the possibility of more record-scorching temperatures on the horizon this summer, rangers will be prepared next time: "We`ll definitely have a stronger message about what to do with poultry items."
On the sunny side, said Chipman, weather fans from far and wide gathered Wednesday to commemorate the centennial of the park`s blistering 134-degree record, set in 1913.
"What it meant to me is that there`s lots of people interested in weather and science," she said.
But to any would-be science geeks that may be tempted to bring along a dozen eggs on their next visit to the park, Chipman has a message: "Bring a pan."

Architectural Solutions of Conformal Network-Centric Staring-Sensor Systems With Spherical Field of View
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The paper presents the concept of network-centric conformal electro-optical systems construction with spherical field of view. It discusses abstract passive distributed electro-optical systems with focal array detectors based on a group of moving objects distributed in space. The system performs conformal processing of information from sensor matrix in a single event coordinate-time field. Unequivocally the construction of the systems which satisfy the different criteria of optimality is very complicated and requires special approaches to their development and design.

Provinces of the Netherlands
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of the Netherlands |
Local government
Related topics
A Dutch province represents the administrative layer in the Netherlands between the national government and the local municipalities, having the responsibility for matters of subnational or regional importance. The government of each province consists of three major parts: the Provinciale Staten which is the provincial parliament elected every four years; the Gedeputeerde Staten, a college elected from among the members of the Provinciale Staten and charged with most executive tasks; and the Commissaris van de Koning, who is appointed by the Crown and presides over the Gedeputeerde Staten.
List of provinces[edit]
The modern Netherlands is divided into twelve provinces (provincies in Dutch) and three overseas public bodies (openbare lichamen) that are not part of any province. The twelve provinces are listed below.
Province | Flag | Arms | Capital | Largest city | King's Commissioner | Area[1] | Population[2] | Population density |

Nearly all Dutch provinces can trace their origin to a medieval county or duchy, as can the provinces of regions in Belgium. Their status changed when they came under a single ruler who centralised their administration, reducing their powers. There were 17 in total: from these unified Netherlands, seven northern provinces formed the Republic of the Seven United Provinces in the 17th century, namely Holland, Zeeland, Gelderland, Utrecht, Friesland, Overijssel and Groningen. The Republic's lands also included Drenthe (one of the 17, but without the autonomous status of the others), and parts of Brabant, Limburg and Flanders, which were considered to be "conquered lands" and were governed directly by the Staten-Generaal, the parliament, hence their name Generality Lands. They were called Staats-Brabant, Staats-Limburg and Staats-Vlaanderen, meaning "state-owned". Each of these "Netherlands" had a high degree of autonomy, cooperating with each other mainly on defense and foreign relations, but otherwise keeping to their own affairs.
On January 1, 1796, under the Batavian Republic, Drenthe and Staats-Brabant became the eighth and ninth provinces of the Netherlands. The latter, which had been known as Bataafs Brabant, Batavian Brabant, changed its name to Noord Brabant, North Brabant, in 1815 when it became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, which also contained (then) South Brabant, a province now in Belgium. This new unified state featured the provinces in their modern form, as non-autonomous subdivisions of the national state, and again numbering 17, though they were not all the same as the 16th century ones. In 1839, following the separation of Belgium, the original single province of Limburg was divided between the two countries, each now having a province called Limburg. A year later, Holland, the largest and most populous of the Dutch provinces, was also split into two provinces, for a total of 11. The 12th member was to be Flevoland, a province consisting almost entirely of reclaimed land, established on January 1, 1986.
French Period[edit]
During the Batavian Republic, the Netherlands was from 1798 to 1801 completely reorganised into eight new departments, most named after rivers, inspired by the French revolutionary example, in an attempt to do away with the old semi-autonomous status of the provinces. They are listed below, with their capitals and the territory of the former provinces that they mostly incorporated:
English name | Dutch name | Capital | Contained the territory of |
Department of the Ems | Departement van de Eems | Leeuwarden | Northern Friesland, Groningen |
Department of the Old IJssel | Departement van de Oude IJssel | Zwolle | Southern Friesland, Drenthe, Overijssel, Northern Gelderland |
Department of the Rhine | Departement van de Rijn | Arnhem | Central Gelderland, eastern Utrecht |
Department of the Amstel | Departement van de Amstel | Amsterdam | The area around Amsterdam |
Department of Texel | Departement van Texel | Alkmaar | Northern Holland minus Amsterdam, northwestern Utrecht |
Department of the Delft | Departement van de Delft | Delft | Southern Holland up to the Meuse, southwestern Utrecht |
Department of the Dommel | Departement van de Dommel | 's-Hertogenbosch | The eastern part of Batavian Brabant, southern Gelderland |
Department of the Scheldt and Meuse | Departement van de Schelde en Maas | Middelburg | Zeeland, Holland south of the Meuse and the western part of Batavian Brabant |
After only three years, following a coup d'etat, the borders of the former provinces were restored, though not their autonomous status. They were now also called "departments" and Drenthe was added to Overijssel. In 1806 the Kingdom of Holland replaced the republic to further French interests. It was during this administration that Holland was first split in two, with the department of Amstelland to the north and that of Maasland to the south. East Frisia, then as now in Germany, was added to the kingdom as a department in 1807 and Drenthe split off again making a total of 11 departments.
When the Netherlands finally did become fully part of France in 1810, the departments of the kingdom and their borders were largely maintained, with some joined together. They were however nearly all renamed, again mainly after rivers, though the names differed from their Batavian counterparts. Following are their names and the modern day province they corresponded for the most part to:
English name | French name | Dutch name | Modern province(s) |
Department of the Zuiderzee | Département du Zuyderzée | Departement van de Zuiderzee | North Holland & Utrecht |
Department of the Mouths of the Meuse | Département des Bouches-de-la-Meuse | Departement van de Monden van de Maas | South Holland |
Department of the Mouths of the Scheldt | Département des Bouches-de-l'Escaut | Departement van de Monden van de Schelde | Zeeland |
Department of the Two Nethes | Département des Deux-Nèthes | Departement van de Twee Nethen | Western North Brabant & Antwerp |
Department of the Mouths of the Rhine | Département des Bouches-du-Rhin | Departement van de Monden van de Rijn | Eastern North Brabant & southern Gelderland |
Department of the Upper IJssel | Département de l'Yssel-Supérieur | Departement van de Boven IJssel | Northern Gelderland |
Department of the Mouths of the IJssel | Département des Bouches-de-l'Yssel | Departement van de Monden van de IJssel | Overijssel |
Department of Frisia | Département de la Frise | Departement Friesland | Friesland |
Department of the Western Ems | Département de l'Ems-Occidental | Departement van de Wester Eems | Groningen & Drenthe |
Department of the Eastern Ems | Département de l'Ems-Oriental | Departement van de Ooster Eems | (East-Frisia) |
With the defeat and withdrawal of the French in 1813, the old provinces and their names were re-established, Holland was reunited and East-Frisia went its separate way. The 17 provinces of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands were for a significant part based on the former French departments and their borders, in particular in what would later become Belgium.

Gared® Collegiate 2000 Plus™ Breakaway Basketball Goal
Ships direct from the supplier 3-10-15
NCAA-approved goal is the most universally recognized and utilized goal in high school, university, and recreational gyms.
Sport Tips
Which basketball goal is right for me?
The type of backboard you have determines whether you need a rear-mount or a front-mount goal. |
Rear Mount | |
For 54"W x 35"H rear-mount steel fan-shaped backboards only. Common in noncompetitive play, side courts, and outdoors. |
Front-Mount | |
For all front-mount backboard types, indoors or out. |
Stationary | |
Primarily for noncompetitive play and often called "fixed" rims. Attach directly to the backboard and don't release when pressure is applied. A good choice for younger players. |
Breakaway | |
For main-court/competitive play. Spring-loaded to bend at an angle (from front to back) when pressure is applied. Positive-lock goals have a mechanism to adjust the amount of force required for release; flex rims do not. |
Single Rim | |
Good quality, often cost effective. For any backboard. The only chioce for indoor competitive play. |
Double Rim | |
Stronger than single rim. For any backboard. Use when player-goal contact is likely and especially for outdoor play. |

"delightful "read""
Another one of those books that should just not end. John Keating's voice is perfect for this story. Loved every minute!
"wonderful story"
This story grabbed me from the beginning. Well researched,well written. I appreciated the depiction of the complexity of the lives of slaves at that time. This story allows for the inherent intelligence and wisdom of people who were not afforded the opportunity to become formally educated, as well as the conflicts within the white family members who were caught between the social mores and their true emotional reaction to the treatment of the slaves.
The voices of both readers were delightful to listen to.
"Secret Scripture"
I absolutely loved the telling of this tale. Wonderful story read beautifully. As with any really good book, I was sorry that it had to end.
"The reader's voice"
Very engaging story, but the reader's voice makes it all the more enjoyable! It's a long read, but not when you are listening.

The Indian Union Muslim League's organ, Chandrika, has apparently preferred to keep the row over Union Defence Minister A.K. Antony's 'BrahMos speech' live even though the party leadership has projected a different line after Mr. Antony gave a clarification of sorts in Kasaragod a few days later.
In an editorial page article, the daily asserts that Mr. Antony's remarks, coming from a person with a broad view about Kerala politics because of his focus on national issues, cannot be viewed as having been made with good intentions, given the circumstantial evidence. The article, written by Najeeb Kanthapuram, Muslim Youth League Kozhikode district president, known to be close to Industries Minister and IUML strongman P.K. Kunhalikutty, also considers the remarks as mysterious coming as it did at a time when Chief Minister Oommen Chandy is making all efforts to give wings to Kerala's development dreams. Mr. Antony's remarks that he did not have the courage to push for Defence sector projects in Kerala would only serve to retard the State's economic growth, especially in the context of the Emerging Kerala event. The article categorically terms the remarks as an affront to the UDF government.
Antony's poll speeches
The article makes an attempt to trace the anti-LDF campaign that Mr. Antony led during the last Assembly elections listing out the dates of the functions at which he criticised Mr. Achuthanandan for his government's failure to present an efficient administration. The tone and tenor of the article, according to sources, clearly suggests that the IUML is not willing to forget the embarrassment its leadership apparently faced owing to the praise heaped on Mr. Achuthanandan and former Industries Minister Elamaram Karim, and what it considers belittling the efforts of Mr. Kunhalikutty.
Even though the IUML leadership officially makes it appear that it is satisfied with Mr. Antony's clarifications, the article is being interpreted in Congress circles as an attempt to convey the IUML's disaffection with the current Congress leadership, with an eye on prospective changes in national politics at a time when there is considerable speculation about the Congress party's capability of bringing the UPA back to power in the 2014 general elections.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This is another book I can't really do justice to without re-reading. I remember this as an entrancing tale set in a dreamlike middle Europe which I enjoyed a lot. This is a much more somber book than the other works by Szerb that I've read, as well a book that explores the desire for death should be, but it is still just as playful, ironic, learned, and fascinated by deception and play-acting as the others. The protagonist, Mihály, despite being on his honeymoon at the start of the novel, is drawn to death as a moth is drawn to a flame, unconsciously at first but later more and more consciously. In fact, he becomes more and more conscious as the book progresses. At the beginning, he sets out for a nightcap, leaving his bride Erzsi (with whom, while she was still married to her first husband, Zoltán, he'd had an affair) in their Venice hotel room, but finds himself wandering all night through back alleys, including those near where "the gondolas of the dead begin their journey." (As the novel begins: "On the train everything seemed fine. The trouble began in Venice, in the back alleys.") As explanation to Erzsi, Mihály starts talking about the group of friends he hung out with as a teenager: siblings Éva and Tamás with whom Mihály was fascinated; Ervin, born Jewish and not only converting to Catholicism, but eventually becoming a Franciscan monk; and Janós, who surprisingly turns up on the honeymoon and always plays a devious, if not criminal, role. As teenagers, Mihály, Éva, and Tamás engaged in "plays" directed by Éva, in which she ended up cheating, betraying, and killing the two young men. In fact, Tamás eventually succeeded in killing himself (after once encouraging Mihály to join him in a suicide attempt, sensually describing the allure of the process of dying), and Éva (whom Mihály strenuously denies having been in love with) disappeared from Mihály's life, as did Ervin and Janós. As a teenager and young man, Mihály had turned his back on his bourgeois family, and especially his father, choosing instead a somewhat serious study of history and religion, but he had eventually returned to the family, becoming a partner in the family investment business. It is from that position that he decided to marry Erzsi. But, on his honeymoon, he finds himself removing his money from Erzsi's bag (she is the financial manager of the couple) and the next day leaving their train to get coffee and winding up on a different train going in the opposite direction from the one Erzsi is on. Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) untroubled by this error (Freud would have had a field day), he goes on a journey of self-exploration with many twists and turns and entertaining characters. The reader also gets Erzsi's perspective as she too, winding up in Paris, goes on a parallel journey of self-exploration. In Mihály's journey, he confronts some of the ghosts of his past, but remains somewhat passive and responsive to the situations he finds himself in; he is thus contrasted with people like his father, Erzsi's first husband (also a man of business), and Janós who seem to vigorously take on the world, at least the world of money and power. In the afterword to Oliver VII (which Szerb wrote later but which I read earlier), Len Rix, the translator of all of Szerb's novels, points out that the latter book continues to explore some of the themes in Journey by Moonlight but does so in a more light-hearted way and with the protagonist more in control of his life. Nevertheless, I can see that in both books Szerb explores people who want to escape from their responsibilities, people pretending to be other than who they are as a way of discovering who they are, and deception, intrigue, and criminal activity. This is a fascinating and deep book that I'm still thinking about several days after finishing it. An excellent tale with numerous threads; accepting societal norms, the power of the past, the lure of religion, death, and drama. It is all written with an understanding of psychology and the support of atmospheric scenes. Mihaly and Ersazi are a Hungarian couple on their honeymoon in Italy. They are accidentally separated when Mihaly takes the wrong train and this physical separation mirrors Mihaly's mental separation from reality. We are brought on a journey through Italy and through Mihaly's many mental states: he vacillates among many moods which include anxiety, depression, paranoia, euphoria and numbness. Throughout his lone journey he encounters some old friends from Budapest that make him terribly nostalgic for his youth. He really can't go home and face the mundane life of working in his father's firm and going through the motions. So he feels that he is trapped in Italy but really has no plan or purpose for being there either. The author also writes the story from Ersazi's point of view at several times in the narrative. Ersazi, once left on her own, is also forced to make important decisions about her life and future. This is one of the hardest reviews I have written because there are so many interesting aspects to this book that it is difficult to truly do it justice in a brief review. The characters, although they tend to make stupid and impulsive decisions, are fascinating nonetheless. The way that the author simultaneously explores major themes such as love, relationships, and death throughout the narrative is truly an amazing literary feat. JOURNEY BY MOONLIGHT is a fascinating study of the human mind and I highly recommend it to anyone who can appreciate true literary genius.
There is something almost divine about this - and that Szerb's great intelligence didn't force him to produce a work of arid perfectionism makes it all the more remarkable. (I salute Rix's wonderful translation, which makes it look as though the book was somehow written in English in the first place.) It's got everything - great travelogues, the messiest study in the world, daft, rich American art students called Millicent ("'Millicent,' he said. 'There's someone in the world actually called Millicent!'"), great jokes about suicide, and superb aperçus: "November in London isn't a month - it's a state of mind." Pushkin Press, in bringing this to our attention, have excelled themselves.

It seems to have the Legendary Pokémon Shaymin in it, it's pretty cool with Shaymin's Sky Forme involved in it as well.
There are some good snowy tiles in it as well, it looks good anyway, if you'd like, I could help you with your hack, I could be a scripter or a mapper or I could be both if you'd like.
I'm sure to help you with it.

jimmy - Unregistered May 24, 2012 10:17 AM Rea is a dangerous rider. I like his relentless style but he just should stop using other riders as braking barriers. 12 agree 37 disagree
dommie - Unregistered May 24, 2012 10:29 AM rea's to good to be inworld superbikes he belongs in moto gp now that stoner is going honda should fit him in somewhere next season they owe him 21 agree 13 disagree
Vilas - Unregistered May 24, 2012 11:03 AM Do you really tinck the Honda Factory will take Rea to one Repsol??? After having such great talents on motogp grid that they know will performe much better because of there experience on GP Bikes.. I like Rea and is style on the bike is great to wach, with this smooth style all bet he would be good on Motogp but 4sure he will need one year at least like Carl Cruchlow.. And Rea is so focus on Wsbk that i tinck he never whanted to join Motogp, mayby is not on is ambition. 2 agree 1 disagree
phil arm - Unregistered May 24, 2012 11:48 AM Love how jonny is getting called dangerous for overtaking someone sems to be in the same situation as the late simoncelli getting a hard time for ruffiling a few feathers motorbike racing needs people like jonny to make it interesting. I would much rather watch jonny overtaking battling with other riders that somebody just clearing off into the distance. 6 agree 4 disagree
Sweeble - Unregistered May 24, 2012 12:00 PM Judging by Donnington, I'd say he's quite focussed enough. I wanted Leon to win, but admire the racer in Jonny that made him make that last corner move. He plainly has a special talent, but how special can only be found out by racing against the best in MotoGP. Honda gave him a MotoGP test and as far as I'm concerned, they know better than me! 1 agree 2 disagree
jimmy - Unregistered May 24, 2012 12:02 PM phil arm: If everyone raced like Rea, there would barely be any riders crossing a finish line. He just doesn't care if he knocks someone down. I like hard racing, Rossi is a hard racer (or Haga and Bayliss were) but 'hard' doesn't mean 'dirty'. 8 agree 16 disagree
Wsbk man - Unregistered May 24, 2012 12:04 PM i dont think rea will go to Motogp. i think Honda want to keep him wsbk as their main man. Poor jonathan, he will need to make up his mind whether to switch to another team or forever be a Honda wsbk man. And to further that point, Honda have hired him to ride a Superbike at 8 hours of Suzuka.. 6 agree 0 disagree
Ben1 May 24, 2012 12:31 PM I think he is too inconsistent. Once he wins, next race he's 10th or crashes... I don't think it's only because of the bike. In MotoGP he needs to be always fast to get results. Plus, he is overagressive, which is not aprreciated in MotoGP. Reply Report abuse 5 agree 4 disagree
philarm - Unregistered May 24, 2012 1:00 PM The danergous rider in the donington situation was melandri making completely boneheaded moves from nowhere whereas there was a gap and jonny went for it which any rider would do. If you don't like overtaking go watch moto gp. 14 agree 6 disagree
tomcol - Unregistered May 24, 2012 2:14 PM Well said Philarm. This is bike racing not croquet. And Melandri was the cause of the last corner crash. Rea went for the gap and Haslam came in on him trying to avoid Melandri. Racing incident basically.They didnt pussy foot around in the 2 stroke era of Lawson, Spencer, Roberts, Mamola etc, and no one complains about them. Get on with it!! 12 agree 5 disagree

'American Idol' on the Charts: Carrie Underwood Sees Second 'Voice' Bump
Holly Tucker's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" debuts at No. 1 on Christian Digital Songs and boosts the season four "Idol" winner. Also: Phillip Phillips' "Home" enters its second year.
ASCENSION: For the second time in four weeks, a performance on The Voice has boosted a track by an American Idol. And once again, it is Carrie Underwood who is the beneficiary. The Voice contestant Holly Tucker chose to sing the religious standard "How Great Thou Art," and finds herself entering the Christian Digital Songs chart at No. 1. Underwood's live version of the same song rebounds 43-19 in its 101st week on the chart. The Underwood recording is a former No. 1 on this tally.
Last month, Voice contestant Danielle Bradberry sang "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and took the track to No. 13 on Christian Digital Songs, while sending Underwood's version soaring 23-5.
PHOTOS: 'American Idol': Randy Jackson Through the Years
YEAR TWO BEGINS: Phillip Phillips' "Home" begins its second year on the Billboard charts. The song debuted the week of June 9, 2012 and is in its 53rd week on the Rock Digital survey, where it rebounds 15-14 with a bullet. It is a former No. 1 on this chart.
"Home" is still in the top 10 on the Adult Contemporary list, where it holds at No 6 in its 39th week. Phillips has two songs on the AC list; "Gone, Gone, Gone" is up 26-22. On the Hot 100, "Gone" stands pat at No. 57, while climbing 7-5 on the Adult Top 40 chart and continuing at No. 2 on Triple A.
There will soon be another "Gone, Gone, Gone" on the charts. Jennifer Hudson's new single shares the same title as Phillips' hit but is a different song. It will be the third separate "Gone, Gone, Gone" to chart, as that was also the title of an Everly Brothers single in 1964, albeit without commas. That triple-"Gone" was remade by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in 2007.
STORY: 'American Idol' Winners, Alums Share Randy Jackson Memories
BITS AND PIECES: Carrie Underwood's Blown Away gains new strength this week, rising 66-54 on The Billboard 200 album chart and 22-19 on Top Country Albums. The set is in its 56th week on both charts…The fourth single from Blown Away is doing well for Underwood. "See You Again" rises 20-19 on Hot Country Songs and jumps 19-14 to achieve a new peak on Country Airplay… Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" breaks into the top five on Hot Dance Club Play with a leap of 8-4…on that same dance chart, Leah LaBelle's "Lolita" improves 10-7… Candice Glover's "I Am Beautiful" is down only one rung in its second week on the R&B Digital Songs chart, sliding 5-6. On R&B Songs, "I Am Beautiful" is down just two places, 13-15… Elsewhere on R&B Songs, "Without Me" by Fantasia featuring Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott advances 20-17. The parent album, Side Effects of You, spends another week at No. 2 on R&B Albums… Colton Dixon's A Messenger returns to the top 10 on Top Christian Albums with a move of 11-10.

I guess that is just how kids are. My daughter got the idea because she sees families in church with more than one child.
Are you thinking of having more? We are pretty sure we're all set as a family of 3...
I got pregnant with #2 right after DS turned 3. He never asked for a sibling before then.
He really has no desire to share the spotlight.
I have 2, who are 3 years apart. My daughter never asked-
My son used to ask for an older brother- LOL

Haven't had much time to play it online (so no belts for me) but playing with friends is pretty boss. The hijinks you can do in this game are so entertaining! I mean, c'mon! How can you not enjoy smacking Kratos around with a sturgeon?
I will agree with Cyber6x, however, in regards to the arcade mode being rather crappy but I can forgive SuperBot for it. They were trying to emulate the arcade modes of traditional fighting games which usually only have still image intros and outros with voice acting dubbed over them. I think people were just expecting that this game was going to emulate Smash Bros. to a t but they failed to realize yet again that All-Stars has its roots in traditional fighters more so than it does in Smash-style games.
Also, I'm pretty sure that SuperBot had a much smaller budget when working on this game than HAL Laboratory did with Brawl. I mean, c'mon, think about it. Brawl was the third entry of an already well-established Nintendo franchise that had two other games to learn from and improve upon (debatably, this may not be the case for you). However, this is All-Stars' first game entry, let alone SuperBot's first game as a company. Considering this information, I think we're being too harsh on the dev team for falling short on one aspect of a game when the rest of it is phenomenally handled.
I have to admit, though, that fighting on All-Star mode makes for some pretty intense matches the further you get into the arcade "story", especially those rivalry battles. It makes you feel awesome when you win each one of them that you just want to shout "YEAH!" every time.
Regarding the two Coles, we can't really fault SuperBot for that as it was Sucker Punch's decision to have him as two separate characters, not theirs. However, I will mention that when you consider the ice and fire powers, techniques for playing them are rather different. The ice powers make Good Cole more of a technical player while the fire powers make Evil Cole more of an agressive brawler. Suffice it to say, me being good at one and sucking at the other is enough differentiation for me to say that SuperBot handled the situation sufficiently.
Also, I wouldn't say that Raiden is overpowered. He's pretty good, but I can handle a few characters better than him. Of course, that's all subjective. I think they're all pretty overpowered to be honest and, in a funny way, this sorta balances them all out.
As a final note, I'd also like to mention the accessibility of the game for newer players. When I had two friends over to play the game with me, they were easily able to fight well with whichever characters they've chosen and have even been able to beat me, someone who's been playing the game ever since the beta came out, several times. I find that to be amazing. Many fighting games rarely accomplish this and I applaud SuperBot for doing almost everything right.
Overall, it's a 9/10 for me. I can't wait to see their future entries into the franchise.

Energy-efficient upgrades to aircraft, the shift to renewable fuel for aviation and cruise liners, energy technology solutions in hotels, as well as countless other initiatives are placing tourism at the forefront of the clean energy transformation… these initiatives are crucial for sustainable development."

After hitting the ground running with a trip to Indaba 2012, I am pausing to write to you all and let you know that I am back from my maternity leave.

It has been six months since Cape Town Tourism's AGM in October 2011, where we launched our new marketing campaign.
The marketing campaign was launched to address the issue of declining demand for Cape Town as a destination.

We wish all of our members a happy and prosperous new year, one far better than the challenging times faced by the tourism industry during the past two years.
Looking at the 2011-2012 summer season so far, a marked improvement has been seen in traffic at restaurants, shops and attractions for the month of December, and the accommodation sector also reports a positive holiday upswing. This follows a mid-December poll of Cape Town Tourism members, where more than half of the respondents expected a marginally better summer season this year than in 2010-2011. Tourism numbers seem to be improving beyond what was initially anticipated and there is every indication we have seen the start of a positive peak season.
