Eighty percent of the brake rotors sold in this country are made outside the United States. A lot of the companies making these rotors are only concerned about fit. Their thinking: If the rotor fits on your Corvette, then it's a good rotor. The actual performance of the rotor is secondary. Then we have any number of Corvette owners who shop for the lowest price.
This brake rotor thing has gotten so bad that rotor companies are starting to sue each other. The Bingham Farms-based Affinia Group Inc. and its subsidiary Brake Parts Inc. recently filed suit in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia, claiming Dura International is falsely advertising its brake rotors as meeting the specifications of automakers. Dura responded by stating, "No government standards exist specifically for rotors. Each and every manufacturer is independently responsible for producing quality product meeting acceptable standards in fit, form, and function." This one could be in court for years.
Eric Bolton, a spokesman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said the agency is aware of the controversy and is monitoring complaints and field data through its Early Warning System. Right.
Even Raybestos has jumped in. It's running ads that show the difference between its rotor and the rotors produced by the competition. Basically what you have to remember is that just because a brake rotor fits your Corvette doesn't mean that it's the equivalent of the original rotor. There can be significant differences in quality.
Some of the cheap brake rotors are much thinner than name-brand aftermarket and original equipment rotors. These cheap rotors are being sold to unsuspecting consumers as standard replacement rotors. They simply can't absorb the heat that's generated from aggressive braking forces.
Increasing the air gap between the rotor faces often reduces the thickness of the discs in these lightweight rotors. This saves about 4 to 5 pounds of cast iron per rotor and reduces the manufacturing cost per rotor. Unfortunately, this trick also reduces rotor strength and its ability to absorb and dissipate heat. None of these things is good.
Cheap rotors are made from damped steel. You can test them by hitting them with a hammer and listening for a ringing sound. You might have to tap on a few rotors to hear the difference, but once you hear it, you'll know what I mean. It's sort of like tapping on a forged crankshaft and a cast crankshaft. Keep in mind that original Corvette rotors are made from better steel than the rotors in an S-10 pickup. That may not be the case with offshore brake rotors. Try tapping on several brake rotors as a test.
Some of you don't actually get involved in the purchase. You outsource the task to your local shop. Most people have never given much thought to the quality of the brake rotors on their cars. I can almost guarantee you spent more time thinking about the price than you did about the quality. Not good.
What Does a Brake Rotor Do?
Brake rotors provide a friction surface for the brake pads to rub against when the brakes are applied. The friction created by the pads rubbing against the rotor generates heat and brings the vehicle to a stop.
The basic scientific principle here is that friction between the pads and the rotor converts mechanical energy into heat energy. Just how much heat depends on vehicle speed, vehicle weight, and how hard the brakes are applied. For example, when I'm at Sebring my brake rotors normally reach about 1,200 degrees F.
Your Corvette brake system must be capable of absorbing a lot more mechanical energy (horsepower) than your engine produces. Remember the heat energy that's generated under braking happens over a very short period of time. Sixty to zero happens a lot quicker than zero to sixty. Corvettes stop faster than they accelerate. That means the brake system has to shed horsepower, or mechanical energy, very quickly.
Slotted or Drilled?
Drilled brake rotors became a huge fad a few decades ago. Today drilled rotors are generally considered a cosmetic item. They gained favor because of the belief that they prevented outgassing. Outgassing occurs at extreme temperatures when the bonding agents that hold the pad material together break down into a gas. This gas creates a pneumatic barrier between the rotor and the pad, reducing the amount of friction between them. Cross drilling, or slotting, creates a path for the outgassing that occurs during extreme braking conditions. These conditions are seldom reached on the street.
According to Baer Brake Systems, while cross-drilled or slotted rotors produce a strong visual appeal behind a modern open wheel, they have only a very slight performance edge when pad outgassing occurs. In other words, the holes don't matter all that much.

"Rory: Welcome to "Chez' Ellenberger," tweeted Ellenberger recently. "Tonight's special is CANVAS SANDWICHES served FACE DOWN. Bon' appetit'!"
Rather than engaging in much pre fight trash talk, MacDonald discusses his opponents with a demeanor that draws comparisons with the fictional character Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
"(Trash talk) doesn't really bother me to tell you the truth," MacDonald told Bleacher Report. "It's just talk. People have been talking s--- about me my whole life so I've gotten pretty used to dealing with it. At the end of the day I usually come out on top so I'm not really worried about his talking."
"It comes across as kind of childish, and it just seems like there's a lot of insecurities when people start talking like that or they're just trying to get more fans or more attention on themselves, they're trying to make themselves more confident. I really don't know."
"I really just try to focus on myself and the martial arts side of things. It doesn't really interest me, the whole s--- talking thing. When it happens I voice my opinion on it sometimes, but it's very childish. I don't really think it has a place in martial arts.
"It's like the new model for promoting a fight in mixed martial arts. For me, I never understood it. It reminds me of high school sometimes. The way all the UFC fighters have been talking to each other, the way they have been very immature. The way people respond too has been on the most part immature as well. I think people need to learn how to keep it classy a little bit."
"I don't ever know the people I fight at all. I just know their name and I show up on the night, they show up, and we fight in a cage and we paid for it. That's what we like to do."
"I just focus on the fight part of it and the rest of it will take care of itself. I kind of felt like my career has been that way. I've moved up the ranks pretty fast because of the way I've performed. I don't think I need to change anything."
"I think he's a good fighter. He's got a lot of good tools, but I think he's got a lot of weaknesses as well. I think I'll be able to exploit them quite well and I'm very confident that I'll have a dominant victory."
A downside of trash talking Rory MacDonald is that he may try to hurt you a little more.
"The B.J. fight, I was having fun just beating on him," MacDonald told MMAjunkie.com. "He was talking a little bit of trash, so I figured I might just hurt him a little bit more."
MacDonald said Ellenberger's talk has not changed anything for him.
"Not for me," said MacDonald. "Maybe it is for him, but at the end of the day, this is my job, to fight. I don't let trash talk or anything get in the way or a difference in my focus or my emotions. He could be the nicest guy, or the rudest guy.
"He chose that route, and really, it doesn't make a difference to me. I'm going in there to win a fight, regardless of what attitude he brings in there.
"My last opponent had some stuff to say, too. At the end of the day, it's just bickering. The great thing about our job is that we get to solve our problems because we get locked in a cage, and they tell us to fight."
"Sometimes you train so hard and for so long and you only get 15 minutes max of game day for a few times a year. So sometimes it's nice to spend a little time in there and get hit once or twice or hit him a little more. Sometimes it's just a little more fun. Sometimes, you just want to hurt someone and devastate their lives fast. But I only react to how I'm feeling that night."

It's an amazing thing to watch the Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers at work.
Even when starting post player Sallie Kate Richardson went down with what appeared to be only a turned ankle in the pre-game warm-ups, the Lady Vols didn't miss a beat and continued to play well in a 73-24 victory over Parklane Academy Saturday night.
Richardson started the game, but was quickly taken out by SA girls coach Glenn Schmidt because there are some important games coming up. They want to make sure Richardson can be back to full speed against Madison-Ridgeland Academy Tuesday night, which is always a big game.
While the Lady Vols surely missed Richardson's leadership on the court, they took care of business in a very impressive way.
Starkville Academy hit seven 3-point field goals during the course of the outing and never let the visitors from McComb get back into the game.
One of the players who stepped up in Richardson's absence was Nora Kathryn Carroll.
The versatile Carroll, usually a guard, spent some time at the No. 5 position for the Lady Vols and contributed 12 points and five rebounds to the winning effort.
"It's very odd to take your two guard and move her to the five, but she accepts coaching and doesn't question," Schmidt said. "She just says, 'yes maam' and goes on."
Maggie Proffitt has been a nice addition to SA. The transfer from Columbus High School was the leading scorer with 13 points against Parklane and has been the leader in that category for most games this season.
Proffitt, Carroll, Richardson, Anna Lea Little and Tiffany Huddleston are five solid starters. There's a bench of several solid role players that seem to be getting better with each outing.
The Lady Vols have a 12-0 and are working on a 21-game winning streak, dating back to last year where they won State championships in Class AAA-District 2, Division II, Class AAA and Overall.
Before the season started, Starkville Academy did not place an emphasis on what it has been able to do in the past.
The Lady Vols are focused on what they can make out of this season and so far, so good.
It has also been a good run late for coach Mark Alexander's SA boys team.
With Saturday's 44-35 victory over Parklane, the Vols improved to 5-5 and are enjoying a four-game winning streak.
There was a cause for celebration after such a long road series to start the season for the Starkville Academy teams.
Now the Vols have a nice run of home games and look to continue their strong showings when Madison-Ridgeland Academy comes to town Tuesday.

Former Okaloosa County Superintendent of Schools Alexis Tibbetts has landed a new job in Walton County.
The longtime educator filled an open position in the school district's instruction and curriculum department after an interview process, according to Superintendent Carlene Anderson.
"There's nothing in curriculum and instruction she couldn't do, according to her interview," said Anderson, who did not personally participate in the interviewing process.
Tibbetts began her new duties Dec. 19, the day after the School Board gave administrators the green light to hire her.
"The people over here are just so friendly," Tibbetts said. "… I couldn't have asked for a better place to be working."
She will wear a variety of hats as the coordinator for instructional support services.
She will work in the district's dropout prevention program, in virtual education, the gifted program and in small pieces of the exceptional education program, according to Kay Dailey, Walton County's supervisor of instruction and curriculum.
Tibbetts also will work on one of the district's Race to the Top programs and another funded through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
"My passion is K-12 education," the former principal, guidance counselor and teacher said. "The things that I will be doing are the things I know."
Tibbetts lost to Mary Beth Jackson in the Okaloosa superintendent's election in August.
Tibbetts said she had other job opportunities, but chose Walton County so she could stay close to home.
"There are a lot of things you have to think about when you're invested in your family and friends," said Tibbetts, who was born in Walton County. "I feel like I'm coming back home, and in a lot of ways reuniting with a lot of people I've known all my life."

Eco-Friendly Products
Efforts for Eco-Friendly Products
■ Development of Eco-Friendly Products
Clarion implements self-imposed environmental assessments from the development stage using standards for 8 assessment criteria. We aim to develop products with less environmental impact (Eco-Friendly Products) through LCA (life cycle assessment) approach whereby total environmental impact is assessed throughout the entire life cycle.
We also address the issues necessary to comply with the RoHS Directive of the EU and other domestic and overseas laws and regulations, as well as requirements of car manufacturers. Together with these efforts and promotion of Green Purchasing, among others, we eliminate prohibited substances and promote use of eco-friendly materials and components from the development stage.
■ Display of the Clarion Eco-Mark
To develop and offer eco-friendly products, Clarion conducts the environmental impact assessment, which is comprised of the following 8 criteria; lighter weight, longer lifespan, better recyclability, easier disassembly, more eco-friendliness, better energy efficiency, better providing of information, and better packaging material. For the products which meet our own criteria the "Clarion Eco-Marks" are displayed on them.
● Examples of products with the "Clarion Eco-Mark"
■ Compliance with REACH Regulations
The REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulations aim to put obligation of safety assessment of practically all chemicals in distribution within Europe and registration and evaluation of them. The regulations came into force in June 2007. They expect to minimize the impacts from chemical substances to the environment and human and to more clearly identify responsibility of enterprises with respect to administration of these substances through compliance with them. Clarion promotes activities of identifying the chemical contents with use of JAMA sheets∗.
Furthermore, Clarion promptly laid out voluntary standard to ban content in components of phthalate ester 4 which is listed in REACH Regulations Annex XIV in an effort to reduce substances with environmental impacts.
∗ JAMA Sheet: Data sheet for ingredient analysis survey standardized by JAMA (Japan Automo bile Manufacturers Association, Inc.) and JAPIA (Japan Auto Parts Industries Association)
■ Eco-Drive Assisting Functions
Clarion has developed navigation features such as "Save-energy Route Search" to find the route that uses the least fuel from anticipated driving patterns and terrain information. Another such navigation feature is "Eco Drive Advice." By making drivers engage in "ecofriendly driving" having fun at the same time, Clarion wants to realize energy-saving and safe driving, leading to reduction of CO2 emission.
Searches for most fuel-efficient route based on various criteria
■ Promotion of Green Purchasing

I didn't mean to take such a long break…but now that I have it's sure nice to be back in this blogging space!
When Dear Stella sent me this fabric to work with I knew this design would fit it perfectly.
It was so fun to work with something a bit more manly and boy-ish…and these fabrics would make the best camping/outdooor quilts ever.
The fabrics are Take a Hike by Dear Stella (in stores soon!) and the pattern is Pow Wow.

Hello all!
I have not yet understood why Mr. Pratchett is thinking about dying already (which of course made me really sad when hearing about it).
When I saw the video "The Importance of Being Amazed about Absolutely Everything" (which should not be so old I think), I did not perfectly catch what Mr. Pratchett's problem is, apart from the "topology problem", resulting in a dropped microphone.
His thoughts seemed perfectly clear to me.
Does anybody know if PCA affects the ability to write/read texts only or if it will affect word finding as well?
With Mr. Pratchett being a hero for me I try to assure myself that it's all "not so bad" of course.
I really hope that it's just a phase of being depressed by the fact that life is more difficult now, and I wish Mr. Pratchett all the best.
Having Mr. Rob Wilkins as a PA is great I think, he is an entertainer himself!
ps: I am reading Mr. Pratchett's books since 2 years now, and I totally avoided getting any information about him at all because I wanted to form my own thoughts about what he might look like and what his interests are and so on. I did not even see an image of him until yesterday where I tried to find the title of a book and then suddenly the word "Alzheimer" hit me. It was a really depressing way of "meeting" him in person, but it was very funny that he looked like a magician himself.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce believes moving to the Olympic Stadium would be hugely beneficial to the future of the club.
The London Legacy Development Corporation board (LLDC) this week unanimously made the decision in favour of the Barclays Premier League club becoming the preferred bidder for the use of the venue. A final deal is some way from being struck between the LLDC and the Hammers but Allardyce reckons a move away from Upton Park will be great for West Ham.
"I think it is outstanding news for the football club for the future," he said. "There is still a long way to go, I know that, but we are in the driving seat and I just hope they can continue to move it forward and deliver what would be a fantastic venue in the future of West Ham United."

With the specs of PS4 I think its going to be Nextbox that's going to underpeform.
Rumours are that Sony are pushing for 8Gb of ram like Nextbox, if they do its game over.
Why would that be game over ?

Nikkei: PS4 to utilize Gaikai, have expanded social features
According to the Japanese outlet, the network function of PlayStation 4 will be expanded, including a new social feature where you can exchange opinions among your friends while playing games.
The system is said to utilize Gaikai cloud technology, which Sony purchased for $380 million in the summer of last year.
Echoing previous reports, the outlet claims the Sony developed "Cell" chip loaded onto the PlayStation 3 will not be included in PlayStation 4, and that it'll arrive by the holidays.
PlayStation 4 is expected to be revealed during PlayStation Meeting 2013 in New York City on February 20. Its controller will supposedly have a touch pad.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 14:41
ugh... they should learn from Apple/itunes and everyone else.
don't make your own limited scope social network. connect with FB natively and use that for the social sharing functions.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 14:44
yes, but now they're obviously trying to move over to their own limited scope social network. which is overall a bad idea.
The controller
Sources close to the hardware have revealed to us that PS4 will ship with a redesigned controller which is the same size as an existing DualShock but features a small touchpad in place of the existing Select, Start and PS buttons. The tech is based on Vita's rear touchpad, and is similarly responsive in use.
A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet.
Posted 07 February 2013 - 14:58
By default the limit is 15 minutes but you can change a setting to enable unlimited uploads: http://support.googl...en&answer=71673
The article doesn't even say that. It says a new social feature, not a new social network. The social feature probably IS the Dualshock share button.
Isn't the YouTube cap 15 minutes?

While it is true that many countries around the European Union have dealt with some real problems over time with regards to employment, there are some countries that have really struggled over time. Greece is one such example of a country that is failing to get its jobs back.
Greece has been found to have one of the world's highest unemployment rate. It has a rate of 26.8% as of March 2014. The only country in Europe that has a higher unemployment rate than what Greece has is Bosnia and Herzegovina.No Comments. Continue Reading...
Many migrant workers who are in Greece have come from many countries in the Middle East where life was far too dangerous. The ravages of wars involving many different countries have made it to where it s very hard for people in many parts of the Middle East to survive. As a result, they have come into Greece as a means of trying to fix their problems and to actually earn money in the long run.
However, many of these migrants are moving back into their old countries. This is especially the case for those who were originally from Turkey. There are many reasons why these people are heading out of Greece at such an alarming rate.No Comments. Continue Reading...
A great amount of emphasis has been placed on the Ebola virus in Africa and how it has been spreading. Nearly a thousand people have died from the virus this year as of early August 2014. This is a problem that has been commonplace in Africa but there is always the risk that it could spread into Europe.
This was further emphasized on August 8 when a man who traveled into Nigeria arrived back home in Greece and was suspected to have Ebola. While it turned out that he has malaria, a condition that is much easier to treat, it still created a cause of concern.
There is always going to be a potential for an Ebola outbreak to move into Greece and other parts of Europe. However, it may be controlled if it is managed right.
Many people who develop Ebola are ones that have traveled to Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia and other countries where Ebola has been found in. These are people who typically get into the area as a means of providing humanitarian help to some of the poorest parts of Africa.
What this means is that the right of Ebola will be minimal if one avoids those countries. The need to control travel services from Greece to these parts of Africa will be critical. Also, anyone who has traveled into those countries and wants to get back into Europe may have to be quarantined and tested to ensure that they are safe and free of the virus before potentially putting other people at risk of harm.
Hospitals have to get contingency plans ready in the event that a person who is suspected of Ebola comes around. This includes making sure parts of a hospital are shut off to the public or others at large in order to reduce the potential for Ebola to spread in the long run.
It is always sensible to educate people about the first signs of Ebola and what can be done if a person is suspected of having this problem. These signs of Ebola can include a lack of an appetite, vomiting, stomach pains and aches all around the body.
In addition, it helps to tell people that Ebola can be transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of one who has the condition. While this is not going to be a threat to all people, it is one that must be observed with regards to the issues that may come about with the condition. Having people know more about Ebola and how the condition works can be critical to understanding how to control the problem before it can get any worse than what it might already be like.
Ebola could be a risk to people in Greece and Europe but it must be controlled in order to ensure that the problem is to be fixed This needs to be managed with care to ensure that the potential for this to spread will not be a serious threat for anyone to bear with.No Comments. Continue Reading...
One of the best ways to give your children (or your students) a great start in life and a rounded education is to have them travel the world and expose themselves to as many different events and cultures as possible. The world may be getting smaller, and we may have more exposure to other cultures than ever before – even if we don't ever leave our home town, but sometimes spending time in another country can be highly beneficial.
A child that has explored Koln in the Winter and sampled the rich and luxurious foods from their Christmas markets is one that will likely grow up with cultured culinary tastes. The galleries in Paris offer a great opportunity for an education about art and history, and a teenager that goes to the summer street parties in Copenhagen will learn to appreciate music and festivities in a more refined way than one that simply goes to clubs at home.
Why not try doing an exchange program with students from another country? Put on a festival in your home town, buy Soundcloud plays to promote your event, and talk to schools in Europe to build interest in the event. The European students can try American food and get exposure to your music, and your children can get a taste of another continent too.
When you buy Soundcloud plays be sure to target people in the area that you are interested in. Check out the options offered a instavisits to see what sort of audience you could expect to reach.
Whether you are looking to introduce your children to the beauty of Greece and the amazing history and architecture that is on offer over there, the wonder of Rome or the tranquility of Ireland, it is well worth doing it as part of an exchange program. With the right contacts and a little bit of luck you could save a lot of money running exchange sessions, and your students will enjoy a holiday of a lifetime – one that will shape their attitudes and help them to grow as people.
If music is not your thing, consider a visit to England to visit the Royal Shakespeare Company – they perform all year round, and can evoke enthusiasm for Shakespeare's works even in people who are not normally avid readers. Alternatively, try something more modern, such as heading to Edinburgh during the Entertainment Festival – this festival takes place every summer and covers comedy, performing arts and even video games. There is something for everyone at the event – adults will enjoy The Fringe part of the festival while younger travelers will enjoy the games. What's more, the games part of the festival has a great education track so visitors will learn about culture, tolerance, media and more while they are over there having fun.
Travel is more accessible and affordable than ever before. Take advantage of that and learn as much as you can about the amazing world thatwe live in.No Comments. Continue Reading...
Everyday when you switch on the news it seems that something new is going on in Europe. No sooner has one piece of news vanished off the radar, the newsreaders are telling us about something new going on. This is not really a surprise though, as Europe covers a massive area, and is densely populated in places. In recent years, though, Europe has been in the news concerning its finances. After the world crash of 2008, many countries in the area have struggled to recover. A few countries went bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the European Central bank, including Greece and Ireland.
Ireland, although not a large country, is not densely populated, and after receiving a bailout, it took around three years to recover, much better than a lot of other countries in the area. Greece on the other hand was in a really bad way when it received the central bank bailout, and is finding it very difficult to recover. Each year since the bailout it has had to continue to make massive cuts in spending. This means that many of the people who have been working in the private sector have had their pensions and wages cut.
A lot of industry in Greece is struggling because most of the business that they do, happens to be with its other European neighbors. The problem here is that those countries are not in a good way either, with some close to, or slipping back into recession. The whole region has struggled with small growth, and this has had an effect on the value of the Euro currency. Although it has never been a strong currency since its launch, it continues to devalue compared with many other countries around the world. This makes the region a great destination for a vacation.
Some industries in Greece are managing to do well though, although they are rare. Take some popular model website that is located in the region, this area of business has managed to avoid the financial issues that many other industries have found themselves in. If you visit a model website, it is clear to see by the number of models on it that there is still a big demand for this kind of work in the region.
One area of industry that has been picking up in Greece in recent years is tourism. The number of people visiting the area has been climbing year on year. This is good news for the Greek government as tourism brings in a lot of money, especially foreign currency, which is something they desperately need. It also means that it is employing more local people in the tourist areas, which in turn also helps the economy.
Greece will eventually manage to pull itself out of the financial mess it finds itself in, but that is still a few years off. For those who are looking to travel to Europe, then the ancient sites in Greece are well worth a visit.No Comments. Continue Reading...
There are two countries in the world today that have quite a history in regard to culture and how they have influenced the way that we see the world today. These two countries are Europe and Greece. Although Europe actually consists of the European region which for some may include England, France, and many other countries, Greece is most known for its contributions in regard to the architecture that we have in places like the state capitals, and also the development of modern day democracy. Today, there are many cultural events happening right now that may be of interest to students that are trying to obtain a degree. Here is an overview of what these two countries have contributed in regard to the world we have today.
Some of the contributions to world culture have come out of Europe, especially in regard to architecture. Neolithic buildings, as well as Roman and medieval architecture. It was also part of the Renaissance movement, from which we arose out of the dark ages. Leading the way was Leonardo da Vinci, although there are many notable people in literature that might be of interest to students including Homer, Arrian and Pliny.
When you go to Washington DC, and you see the structure of the capital building with the tall columns of the Parthenon located on the Acropolis of ancient Greece, you can see how much this country contributed to the architecture of the forefathers, as well as mathematical concepts such as Phi and proportions. Democracy arose from what was called Athenian democracy, as well as science such as geometry, physics and of course the study of philosophy. All of this came from Greece, but there are modern aspects that should be looked at not only here, but also throughout Europe, contemporary events that every student should be interested in.
Some of the topics that are originating out of these regions include the recent outbreak of Ebola, the musings of one of the greatest scientists in history, Stephen Hawking, as well as the economic decline of Greece. While sifting through all of this, many students may need replacement parts. Atmos Raw is one of the top vaping units available today, and can help calm the nerves of any student studying either Greece or the many countries of Europe as they prepare for an essay or a final report.
Now that you have a better idea of what these two countries have contributed to, and what is going on in these regions today, you might want to consider these two topics if you are looking at writing a paper on both historical and contemporary topics. You won't be able to find enough information for some of the more little-known cultural aspects of these two regions, yet by looking at their major contributions, you will have plenty of material to use for anything that you need to write for either high school or college.No Comments.

On the 29th of December, Greece failed to elect a new President of the Republic and is now heading towards elections. These elections are scheduled for the 25th of January. Syriza movement is somewhat ahead in opinion polls.
As you can tell, a ton of political uncertainty looms. The Greece people do not know who is going to lead them in the future. This could not have come at a worse time when Europe needed Greece's stability more than ever.
Greece had made pretty good progress up until this point. The gross domestic product has grown around .6 percent this past year. This a huge sign of relief for the people of Greece and the businesses as well. Greece was in for years of declining economy, but the bailout seemed to help them a lot.
Greece has definitely struggled more than the other weak European economies – most notably Spain and the Irish Republic. This is largely due to the fact that the country has continuously overspent for decades and decades. A deadly combination of wasteful spending and inefficiency has caused Greece to become one of the poorest functioning countries in the world.
Because of this, salaries have been squeezed and unemployment is at a ridiculous 25 percent. The good news however, is that this is a pretty good time to get in on Greece. The experts say that it is best to take advantage of opportunities when no one else is even thinking about them. This means that this could be a great time to move to Greece.
Greece has a ton of beautiful beaches and people. If you are planning on moving to Europe, you might want to highly consider moving to Greece. Not only will you get beautiful landscape and beautiful people, but the weather is just as beautiful. If not, Toronto is a great place to look, as well. You can also check out houses in Toronto as an exception because they have a very healthy economy at he moment and it would be a great place to start a business and/or a family.
Regardless of where you decide to settle, you can be sure that you are going to want to find the best possible home for yourself and/or your family. Make sure that you look on the Internet and find a bunch of options that will suit you.
If you are planning on moving to Greece anytime soon, you are going to want to check out 4one6 teams purchasable Toronto homes. Or check out Canada, you want to find different houses for sale in Toronto in order to be able to find the perfect house for you and your family.
The good news is that they have a ton of different options that you can look through and decide whether or not it is for you. Look for houses that are undervalued or that have a great location as this is going to be key to getting a lot back on your investment.No Comments. Continue Reading...
If you are a resident of Greece and you want to drive a car, you are required to have a driver's license. But how do you go about getting one? What paperwork is required? Do you have to take a test?
If you already posses a driver's license from certain countries, and it's not expired, getting a Greek driver's license can be very simple. You just have to convert your license to a Greek one. People with unexpired licenses from the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, or anywhere in the Former Soviet Union can use this option.
If your license is expired or not in good standing, you'll have to go through the application process for a brand new license like everyone else. The same is true if you aren't from one of the countries mentioned above. This can be frustrating for an adult who has been driving for years, but it's the law.
In order to start the license application process you'll need to be a resident of Greece for a certain amount of time. To be considered resident, you have to live in Greece at least six months out of the year. If you are an EU citizen from a country other than Greece, 85 days have to elapse from the date of issue of your residence permit. If you're not an EU citizen, you'll have to wait 185 days.
Greece requires both classroom and in-car training for new licenses. You have to spend at least 20 hours in classroom training. There is a required computer-based driving theory exam that will take an additional hour. Again, this may seem silly for adults with a lot of driving experience, but it's the way the law is written.
In addition to the classroom studies, students have to have 20 hours of practical driving experience in a car provided by the school. This car will be a manual transmission, so you'd better learn to drive stick!
Some schools are known as intensive driving schools. They offer a quick way to get all of the required hours done by having you do all the work in several hours a day for a week or less. This is best for people who already know how to drive and want to pass the test and requirements right away. You can see an example of some intensive driving schools and their expert driving lessons at drivertrainingeducation.org.
You'll also need a certificate of health from a pathologist and an ophthalmologist or optometrist. You'll have to use a doctor from the government's approved list. These doctors will perform physical exams to determine your fitness to drive, and schedule follow-up exams as necessary. You'll need their approval to apply for a Greek driver's license.
Like anywhere in the modern world, getting a driver's license in Greece requires wading through a lot of bureaucracy. If you are planning to move to Greece, your best bet is to maintain your old driver's license and transfer it over.No Comments. Continue Reading...

These properties are great to find but there are many different things that can make such spots different. Websites that are about European rental properties should really be explored with care as there are many great types of sections that offer an extensive variety of features for all to explore.
A big part of websites about European rental properties is that they will come with an extensive variety of details. These points are essential to see when you are trying to get a little bit of help as demanded for the requirements that you might hold:
• You might learn about the size of a property and how many people should be living there. These include the types of people that should be living in these spots based on the activities that are available and if the properties are designed to fit their needs as required..
• It also helps to see what the location of the property has to offer. Many websites will help you learn about the nearby sites that are around the property and if you have private access to certain things off of such a property.
• Websites can also have the full terms that come with many of the things that you want to utilize in such a property. These websites can allow you to get a better idea of what you can and cannot do while in a property.
• The cost for renting out such a property or even buying it outright should be analyzed just as well. This cost may be high and might be charged on a monthly basis but every property has its own terms to work with.
• Many pictures may be highlighted in a few websites. These will show you information on the many different types of rooms and other commonplace features that come with some of the different types of properties that may be of value to you.
• There are even cases where you might find different websites that will highlight things like the items that are included in a property and even any vehicles that are included in the rental process as you are staying at a particular spot.
If you look at a "sell my website" page that you can look at here then you might notice that the most popular and valuable properties tend to be spots that are listed with as many types of products as needed.
If you are going to take a look at find European rental properties then you should look around with care when finding items that might be of value to your needs. If you look around European rental property sites with care then you'll get to know everything that comes with such a property.No Comments. Continue Reading...
While much has been made about the economy in Greece and how it has been struggling in recent years, one thing that many people have discovered with regards to the country is that plastic surgery is becoming rather popular out here. That is, people are utilizing plastic surgery in many forms to make their bodies look their best.
Many people opt for strong surgical procedures like the Rose McGowan plastic surgery profiled at rosemcgowanplasticsurgery.com. Part of this is thanks to how prices in Greece have declined by quite a bit in the last few years. It seems like anyone can afford them these days.
The specific treatments that people are utilizing around the country include many options that cover the basics. Botox injections and liposuction have particularly been popular solutions for many to take advantage of. Meanwhile, others prefer to stick with some of the more intensive surgical procedures including breast augmentation or rhinoplasty procedures. The needs of individual people will vary but those needs will be covered by a plastic surgeon in Greece no matter what they might be like.
It's amazing how people in Greece are willing to receive plastic surgery even in this time when the economy has gotten into an extremely rough patch. Der Spiegel reports that Greece is second to only South Korea in terms of the number or plastic surgery procedures done per capita. About twelve treatments are done for every thousand residents in the country. It's a fascinating total that shows that people in Greece really are concerned about their appearances.
It used to be that people would have to spend tens of thousands of euros on a majority of plastic surgery procedures. However, today's plastic surgery options may be found for much cheaper than what people might have spent in the past.
For example, breast augmentation used to cost around €5,000 on average. Today it can be found for as little as €3,000 through most clinics.
This is an example of how the economy has impacted Greece. It has made it to where services are being made cheaper just to try and get people to take advantage of them. This works particularly well for those who come from outside Greece to receive such services. This can especially be essential to those who might have struggled with being able to afford certain services in the past.
In fact, this makes it so people could easily afford a treatment without having to worry about insurance. Insurance charges can cost about €400 a month in Greece. Some forms of surgery may not be covered in an insurance plan either. The ability to get help with a treatment within the country is a worthwhile investment for all to utilize.
The solutions that are available to people who travel into Greece for plastic surgery purposes are important for all to look into. There really is a potential for people to look their best while spending less money in the process but only if the right treatments are being utilized.No Comments. Continue Reading...
There has never been a better time to get into Greece than now as it is more affordable these days to find luxury homes for rent than what it was like in the past. Greek luxury homes can be very fancy and beautiful but if you look for the right Greek luxury home videos on YouTube then you can really find that dream house that you want to rent.
While it is clear that many luxury home providers will buy YouTube views to highlight their properties, you need to take several additional points into consideration when you are trying to find such homes of use to you. Many of these homes will be rather large and will come with some unique features. Here's a few points to look at when watching some of these videos. The odds are they will make the process of searching for that dream travel destination a little easier to manage.
The outdoor pools that many of these luxury homes have are often big highlights. You should look and see just what a pool is like when finding a smart option. Some pools may come with beautiful extended pools and some may even have hot tubs alongside them. Some pools are very large and deep and others might have positioned to have that endless look to them as some can be designed to where their borders are minimal. Look at the videos that are open to see just what choices are available.
Many bedrooms can come with some fine linens and mattresses but that's just a part of what a luxury home can offer. Some master bedrooms may have large windows and walk-in closets or patios. Others may also have views of the sea or some of the many hills all around Greece. If you've ever wanted to wake up to a beautiful Greek morning then you will have to see just what certain luxury homes might have.
Sometimes you will see that luxury home providers will buy YouTube views to emphasize the home as a whole but these places that buy YouTube views may also show off some of the accents that come with a property. You might find some fine furniture, beautiful wall art, nice lighting fixtures and even some outdoor decorations all around your home.
These furnishings will come with your rental. If you like good furnishings then you will certainly find a to be more interesting for whatever you may desire.
A video has to include information on the many surroundings that are in a spot. These surroundings may include different spaces that feature private beaches, a proximity to local markets or cities and even walking distance to mass transit spots. Always think about these locations to get an idea of what's open for you.
Of course, the toughest part of looking at Greek luxury home videos is figuring out which homes are of the most interest to you. There are so many properties to check out online that you just might come across the pleasant quandary of having too many great homes to choose from.No Comments. Continue Reading...

Mitt in the Mud
In an interview with USA Today this weekend, Mitt Romney attacked President Obama for running a "sad" and "vituperative" campaign. He accused the president of channeling negativity and trying to tarnish the former Massachusetts governor's image with voters rather than debate the issues. The attacks on Bain Capital, the insinuations about his tax returns—they're tactics to avoid discussing the weak economy.
This is what you would expect an opposing candidate to say, but that doesn't make it any less potent as a message. Voters always say they are tired of negative campaigning, and candidates who brand themselves as "positive" can capitalize on that fact—even as they themselves run negative ads (cf. Obama, 2008).
Which is why Romney should be worried by his low standing with voters. In the interview, he dismisses the idea that voters will decide on the basis of his likeability:
"I think in the final analysis people will recognize those attacks for what they are, and they'll make a decision based on who can do a better job creating jobs and providing more take-home pay for the middle class of America," he says.
Given the large likeability gap between Obama and Romney, as well as Obama's lead on every issue of character measured by the most recent Gallup poll, it's no surprise that he wants to minimize any discussion of personal popularity. But likeability—or "favorability" in polling terms—provides a boost for candidates who want to win credit for walking the high road. The public tends to believe those candidates it likes, and if Romney were running high on favorability, he could hammer Obama on his negative attacks and open a genuine advantage.
As it stands, Romney is one of the most unpopular presidential nominees in recent memory. His favorability has been underwater for most of the year, and shows signs of getting worse. If Romney wants to run a campaign on the high-road, this makes it much more difficult. Voters simply won't believe that he's running a cleaner campaign than his opponent. To wit, in the latest poll from ABC News and the Wall Street Journal, 55 percent say Romney has mainly been attacking his opponent, as opposed to talking ideas. Fifty-three percent say the same of Obama. It's a small difference, but small differences can matter in a close campaign.
Of course, this is all about how Romney could better present himself to the public. The truth of the matter is that the Republican nominee is running an intensely negative campaign, which has begun to rely heavily on implicit and explicit racial appeals. The welfare ads, which falsely charge Obama with "gutting" the program, have been condemned by a variety of sources for playing on racial stereotypes about welfare recipients. Likewise, Romney was widely criticized this past Friday for making a "birther" comment during a rally in Michigan, telling an enthusiastic crowd: "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that I was born and raised."
He even makes a racial appeal in his USA Today interview:
Romney defends the welfare ads as accurate, accusing Obama of offering state waivers as a political calculation designed to "shore up his base" for the election.
At the most charitable, you can say that Romney is talking about the whole of welfare recipients, who are mostly white. But given what we know about the imagery of welfare—and it's association with African Americans—I think that's the connection Romney was trying to make.
Which is to say that, for all of his complaints about Obama's negative campaigning, Romney doesn't intend to disarm. And with Obama's large advantage on almost every issue other than the economy, Romney's best bet is to appeal to the resentments of his base. Put another way, of the ten weeks left in this campaign, none of them will be pleasant.

Strapping dogs to the tops of cars? Bain Capital and killing a woman? Harry Reid stating publicly that Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years, without a shred of hard evidence? I am sorry, but it would appear as though you are projecting. Barack Obama is running the worst kind of Chicago thug style of personal destruction politics.
Mon, 2012-08-27 16:31
The most difficult question pertaining to Mitt Romney's character is whether he's a pathological liar - that is, a conscience-free sociopath - or if he's simply a guy who believes that lies are okay if they advance your own self-interest and consistently applies that philosophy to pretty much every publicly visible aspect of his life.

You really assume that he thinks a lot about this. He's probably got his mind on other things. But if I had to choose one branch of your dichotomy (because as we all know there are ONLY two choices, ever) I'd say that he just thinks it's all OK to advance his career and his investments. Outsourcing, approving Chinese forced labor building products for Bain-owned businesses, cutting women and infants off WIC, handing seniors a sub-par and shrinking medical insurance voucher for their end-of-life needs, telling people that Obama's going to hand their hardscrabble lily-white money to blackity-black-blacks. Whatever, says Willard.

Its very difficult for a candidate to enter politics if his opponent is that much popular and people loved him. Many politicians also throw negative attacks on its opponents to make their names favorable to the voters. Try these health products like sanotint if you wanted your hair too look new, it has different colors to choose from.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N455: Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.3 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
55%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.

Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes is a 2006 documentary film written, produced, and directed by Byron Hurt. The documentary explores the issues of masculinity, violence, homophobia and sexism in hip hop music and culture, through interviews with artists, academics and fans. Hurt's activism in gender issues and his love of hip-hop caused him to feel what he described as a sense of hypocrisy, and began working on the film. The premiere of the film took place at the Sundance Film Festival, being welcomed by a standing ovation. It has also won Best Documentary at the San Francisco Black Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Roxbury Film Festival. On February 20 2007 the film aired on the PBS Emmy-winning documentary series, Independent Lens.
Interviews with students of Spelman College regarding a protest against the appearance of rapper Nelly, who originally contacted the school to have a bone marrow drive take place on campus. The student body asked the rapper to hold a forum to discuss his video Tip Drill, in which he is seen sliding a credit card down the back side of a woman. In response, the rapper canceled plans to hold the bone marrow drive at the school.
An interview with rapper Busta Rhymes in which the rapper walked out when confronted with question involving homophobia in the rap community. Rhymes is quoted as saying; "I can't partake in that conversation," followed by, "With all due respect, I ain't trying to offend nobody. ... What I represent culturally doesn't condone [homosexuality] whatsoever." When asked if the hip-hop culture would ever accept a homosexual rapper, Busta Rhymes exited the interview.
Many media outlets focused on the interview with activist and rapper, Chuck D of rap group Public Enemy. The rapper was quoted as stating: "BET is the cancer of black manhood in the world, because they have one-dimensionalized and commodified us into being a one-trick image. We're [shown] throwing money at the camera and flashing jewelry at the camera that could give a town in Africa water for a year." The rapper also stated a link existed between the sales of hip-hop music to young white Americans, and the amount of pressure on black artists to create more of that content: sex and violence.

Thoughts on NI Week...
NI Week is a professional developers conference: Upstairs are folks discussing detailed high-power presentations on how to very rapidly control complex, high-precision equipment, or stream Gb of data into a hard drive per second, or how to use LabVIEW for real-time control of a complex factory, new tricks with FGPAs, etc. Below on the expo floor are hundreds of booths for vendors, selling extremely high-powered (and high-price-tag!) interfaces, vision system, mechanical solutions, sensors, etc. Linking all this together is an underlying framework of LaVIEW for control and feedback.
So why were we invited in to play with a child's toy, and even giving presentations? One of the things NI has made very clear over the last two years is that they intend to support MINDSTORMS through NXT-G and LabVIEW, and it's wonderful watching that continue. Not only was the product still prominent in things like the keynote presentations, but it seem very clear that NI looks at this as a way to introduce young users to graphical languages, and as a step towards LabVIEW… for which I think NXT-G is very well suited. Continuing support from NI is something that isn't just a pipe dream – it really seems to be happening and even growing, as us being invited to NI Week (and the attendance at our session) shows.
On a more personal note, being primarily a stay-at-home Dad who plays with LEGO, NI Week can be as overwhelming as attending a grand opening of a Hollywood movie. I fear there were times I was just standing around somewhat slack-jawed at the things around us: robots far more powerful & robustly built, and being wined and dined at places like the Oasis outside of Austin, etc. But let me get a few important notes down now, while they are semi-fresh on my mind:
• If you ignore your email for four days in the MCP, you will easily acquire more than 300 messages (that's not spam – it's just the MCP is really that active).
• A common LEGO practice is business meetings that start after dinner, and run until 1:30 AM when the restaurant/bar kicks you out by turning off the lights... And after such a late-night meeting, your brain is still far to wound up with new ideas and horizons for you to even try getting to sleep until after 2:30 AM
• There are "sheet metal" robots that can solve Rubik's cube faster than Dave's… but only due to computational power (& expense). Dave's mechanism was actually significantly better in accuracy and applied resources than what I saw at NI Week in this case.
• Booths on the expo floor will give away lots of electronic "swag"… which LEGO folks will gladly snarf up, and start reverse-engineering into their 'bots.
• Steve Hassenplug will continue to try to win a contest long after it is over and everyone else has left… and he will do it, too.
• There is no one too mature to not enjoy shooting Zamor spheres across a table at 4 balls per second. Nobody. Not one. And getting it on video is even better.
• Four special-purpose LEGO robots playing soccer are no match for three all-terrain rock-crusher style remote controlled LEGO robots. Some disassembled required (or at least enjoyed).
• The number of kids brought into the expo floor by their parents (I assume to specifically see the LEGO booth), and the number of adults that went right back to being kids the moment they encountered the LEGO booth, was inspiring.
• At this level keynotes presentations are better designed than some full theater productions. This does not mean they are immune to simple problems. And personal presentations are even less immune.
• Drink and eat at any opportunity… there may not be another one for a while :-).
• And the number one point? Remember, It's Only A Toy. Really. :-).

Strangle all you want - normally I'm jelous of you guys for being near Billund, but now and then, well... it works the other way. There was also a lot of spirited discussion, and very little sleep (for me anyway - around four hours a night). If I stopped moving, I was in danger of falling asleep, but it was productive enough I was actually dreaming LEGO at night and had to write down ideas in a notebook each morning. Weird (& wonderful).

Yes, sleep was always an issue... and I must admit I cut out early at one of those late night dinners and the rest kept going! Some great discussions, though, and you really can see that the MCP members and LEGO reps have the best interest of the consumer at heart.
I'll go on record and say I'll definitely plan on going again next year. Well worth the trip.

So this is a yearly thing?
Maybe I should plan now for next year...

It's an annual event, but I'm not sure what the representation of LEGO is from year to year, although it's looking strong and likely to continue. The other thing is as a professional developers conference, it's not cheap (although I must confess i don't know what the day rate or something similar is... anyone?).

The "Green Monster" is one of Steve Hassenplug's creations (I'll try to blog about it), that was amazingly fun to watch and control. The tires come from one of the new exoforce sets, #8108 the Mobile Devastator. They're nice, especially for outdoors... my son has one (he's sitting beside me), but he simply *will* NOT give me the wheel. Bribes are not working. Sigh...
PS- He just read this, and stated loudly "no I'm not giving them to you!". You see my problem :-).

The only thing more humbling than having an American 5-year-old walk you through the elements of food distribution—in Japanese—is having a chorus of 10 of them explain it. But for the first graders at the International School (TIS), a language immersion elementary program in Southwest Portland, that's just an average morning. After all, they spend every day transitioning seamlessly between languages at school and at home, navigating their world with a sharp linguistic compass.
Students at TIS plunge into a full immersion program in Spanish, Mandarin, or Japanese at age 3, and continue learning in their chosen language until their fifth-grade graduation. Teachers, who hail from as far away as Chile and Mongolia, instruct only in their native language, guiding pupils through a classic curriculum of math, reading, and science, and steeping them in the history and culture of the teacher's home country.
There's more to TIS than foreign languages, though. The school boasts Portland's first elementary school International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Rather than working through a rote, predetermined set of facts and questions within a lesson, the IB method encourages students to master ideas by exploring their own questions—ones they've asked, of course, in three different languages. —Rachel Ritchie
8500 NW Johnson St; faispdx.org
Strolling the carefully manicured grounds of the French American International School (FAIS), it's hard to believe that the school was born 32 years ago as a small preschool class in a church basement. Perched on a lush, forested swath of Portland's West Hills, the 14-acre, LEED-certified campus is now Portland's oldest independent immersion school.
Why French? "It's not as much about the language itself as it is about the immersion experience," explains director of admissions Arezu Movahed. The core of that experience, she explains, is the flexibility in thinking and sensitivity to language and culture that comes with such early exposure to multiple languages.
And it doesn't stop at French. The Gilkey International Middle School at FAIS offers three language tracks for incoming students: one for students transitioning from the French program, one for those with previous immersion experience in Spanish, German, or Mandarin, and one for students with no foreign language experience. At the middle school level, only advanced language arts and social studies are taught in the target language, and the rest is in English. Students who come from the immersion elementary school also study another (yes, a third) language. For as that early leader of the Franks, Charlemagne, put it: "To have another language is to possess a second soul." So why not one more? —RR
16413 NE 50th Ave, Vancouver
Students at this bucolic school begin learning Spanish in preschool and continue through eighth grade.
The GILKEY INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (9–12)
1130 SW Main St
A new partnership between FAIS and the Northwest Academy, the Gilkey program allows students to take advanced, immersion-based language courses in French and Mandarin through 12th grade.

It didn't hurt me, but it was puzzling, because although I had heard Napoleon's name, I didn't know anything about the French politics of that and the subsequent era. so I had no idea what was going on. When you read only the surface story with no historical connection, it's a very strange book.

Educational M&Ieetfmis By Ray T. Blank Superintendent of Schools The Bethpage School District is expanding their programs in two important areas for the coming school year. The Special Education Program and the Industrial Arts Department will both have sprouted new growths m 1974-75. In accordance with the philosophy of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools to educate as manyof the Bethpage students as possible within the home district a class of Special Education will be instituted at the Senior High level for the 1874^75 year. The program was developed under ™e ******* °* .Mr- Arthur Hecht, Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent. Continuous Special Education programs will now be available fa Shari Miller for Bethpage students from the elementary through Senior High levels. Special Education programs in the District are made up in two small classes, allowing specially trained staff to concentrate on all areas which are important to the social emotional, and academic development of these students. cJPie,P£ii08°Phy behi«d the Social Education Program in ^ p a g e js indeed a very special one. The program is designed to educate the students to make the most of their abilities so that one day, if possible, they will be able to return to a regular classroom situation. In the coming school year Bethpage High School will also host an expanded Industrial Arts Department. An additional full-time industrial arts teacher will be added to the department's present staff. The expansion of the department is due to the overwhelming success during the 1973-74 school year of the new half-year elec- Uves which were introduced. These included power technology, small engine repair basic metal, wood, printing, offset and electricity. With the enthusiastic reception by the s t u d*nl* of these courses, the Bethpage Board of Education saw fit to increase the Industrial ^rts Department's staff. The Opportunity for participation in this greatly-expanded elective program can now be offered to a greater number of Bethpage high. Sicb*^atud«nt^,;-: • - "^y? • r ' On September 4, Plainedge and other school districts' children will be returning to another year of school and, hopefully another year of learning. The previous expression was purposely used because the specific action of attending school does not, in itself, assure that education is adequately and realistically taking place. Some have to do With all the various individuals otft participants engaged in the activities", and Others with serious and provocative external factors whose situations' or conditions impinge on and affect the orderly process. For school to be effective and meaningful there must be overt intention and action on the part of both the student and the school district to see that something worthwhile will happen. Resistance or lack of proper intent on the part of either can shift the balance from a positive and productive experience and relationship to one that can be much less so. Other factors, often beyond our control, also enter into the situation and have their dramatic effect. One of the more striking of these forces which effects our students, is the highly irregular, improper, or even illegal activities occurring on the national scene. Unfortunate situations such as Watergate provide the motivation to sway impressional young men and women from the influence and guidance of the more mature, experienced, and controlling element of our society and, what they often call, the "establishment." In addition, these kinds of things can and do lead children to believe that, not only is the establishment not to be trusted, and has nothing to contribute to their welfare or to the improvement of their situation, but that it can actually harm them. This then, all too often, spills over to the schools, which, in turn, suffer their rejection as a "tool of the establishment," and, therefore, are also not to be trusted, for the student, scandals that occur in government or within other groups of public and private leaders, which by all rules of morality are supposed to be sacrosanct, present unusually strong means for negative motivation. Such scandals provide quite attractive circumstances for competition to take our children's attention away from the good things that are occurring in our society. Further, they supply the basis or means for securing youthful allegiance to causes and actions that work in opposition to learning taking place in, die formal school setting. Under these conditions, the young mind makes its analysis, primed only by a limited set of sharply irritating circumstances, and with little experience or maturity to understand or deal rationally or intellectually with them and place them in proper perspective to the totality of life. That analysis too often is that, somehow the morality of all the people may be in question. Student speeches at high school and college graduation often take on this unfortunate and destructive line while seldom providing suggestions for solution or improvement. The writer is not finding fault (Continued on Page 16) .';*%. Richard Wood Contract negotiations between the Plainedge School District and the Plainedge Federation of Teachers remain at an impasse. With the teachers asking for roughly a 9 percent wage increase plus 2 percent in increments,, the board offering 5 percent in wages and 2 percent in increments, and the New York State Public Employment Relations Board super factfinder recommending. 7 percent and 2 pecent respectively, the issue remains unresolved, School Board President Don Kanter's only comment at the Plainedge School Board's August 22nd meeting was: "We have not come to terms with the teachers or custodians, but we believe we are still within our bounds Nothing has been settled, but we're hopeful...We believe we can settle before school opens." He also pointed out that the teachers rejected the state factfinder's report "in its entirety," reminded those in attendance that the teachers had taken a vote to strike last June, and that salary was "the predominant factor involved." In a somewhat awkward sequence of events, the school district only learned of the factfinder's recommendations "after the teachers had rejected it." The teachers' union received the report the week of August 5th. The district only realized the report existed after it received the union's rejection, forcing the district to go to Albany to get their own copy of the report. The district has accepted the report, according to Kanter, "with the exception of four terms ,...on which the district is willing to negotiate." The four items are a multi-year vs. a one-year contract, certain definitions contained in the report, the use of faculty rooms, and the working period of guidance counselors. NEWBUSWG ItEQtHR^pKftfS 7 - At the board's August 22nd meeting the board also passed a resolution in response to the state legislature's amendment of Education Law, Subdivision l of Section 3635 of Chapter 755 of the 1974 Laws requiring transportation of nonpublic school '^^&A^myM^mabed'/ September 3rd as the "latest per-missable filing date (for those pupils affected) for. the 1974-75 school year/'.

So I feel like buying more RAM for my MacBook Pro (Late 2011), and I came across this
Corsair 16GB DDR3-1333MHZ 204PIN SODIMM. It's priced at $121.87.
Is that a good price? Secondly, the reason as to why I want to purchase more memory is because I want to run multiple desktops, with applications like iTunes, Logic Pro, and Lightroom being run at the same time. I also don't want to have to close applications, as I prefer to leave them running all the time.
Will the RAM give me a noticeable performance upgrade? Quick look at my specs:
2.4GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Also, am I able to upgrade the 1333MHZ the Macbook originally came with and switch for a faster speed? Lets say 1600MHZ?

As anyone who has ever thrown a Halloween party knows, the last day in October isn't just about dressing up in a funny or frightening costume. It also involves entertaining guests with games and plenty of Halloween-themed food and drink. Offering spider-shaped cookies and other creative, spooky snacks is always an important addition to the evening festivities but why not go a step further and serve them on Halloween-themed tables?
Guests will love to receive their drinks from Roswell, the Alien Butler. A sculptural pedestal serving table standing over two feet tall, the alien's huge, infinite eyes and gaunt, realistic details will make him the hit of the party. Pair it with a Flying Saucer crashed in the garden for full, Planet X effect!
If looking for something a bit more traditional for Halloween, you can't go wrong with The Contortionist Skeleton Side Table. Bound to be one of most unique skeletons you have ever seen, it keeps a thick, glass tabletop steady with a contorted combination of bony hands and hips. While you and guests are trying to figure out where the hip bone is connected to the leg bone, you will be amazed by the realistic details of this spooky sculpture.
Find these spooky serving tables, gargoyle figurines, and the best in Gothic Décor at Design Toscano today.
