33 year old man | New Orleans, LA, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 10 miles
I need a partner in crime for concerts and all the city has to offer.
I'm a music nut; it's one of the reasons I moved back to the city last year after having been gone since '06. My job doesn't leave me too much time to socialize, so I'd love to meet someone here who also enjoys live music. I'm very easy-going and somewhat introverted. I like to maintain a healthy sense of humor about myself. I'm trying to strike a better work/life balance because, when unchecked, I tend to be a bit of a workaholic. I used to play a lot of guitar in my free time, and I'm trying to get back into that. My friends would describe me as kind, loyal, and honest. Also, you should know that I'm not a sports fan. I know it's weird, but I'm really bored by being a spectator. It doesn't matter which sport, either---I'm equally bored by football, basketball, baseball, etc. If you're looking for someone to share your passion for sports, I'm not your guy. That's not to say that I'll never go to a game with you or watch with your friends, but it's never going to be a hobby for me.

I believe music is one of the most important things in life. I love blues, jazz, funk, classic rock, folk, son, trova, country, pretty much anything except for EDM and some types of metal.
Listening to live music, grabbing a few drinks with friends, or hanging out at home and watching a movie.
I just finished reading Junot Diaz's short story collection "Drown." Before that, I read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." Currently reading Diaz's new one, "This Is How You Lose Her."

If you have been offered federal loans as part of your financial aid package there are several steps which must be completed as the borrower in order to accept the loans.
The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document in which you promise to repay your loan(s) and any accrued interest and fees to the U.S. Department of Education. It also explains the terms and conditions of your loan(s).
The Stafford MPN is valid for 10 years and any additional Stafford loans, both subsidized and/or unsubsidized, awarded in subsequent awards years will be issued under this master promissory note.
A separate PLUS master promissory note is required of parent borrowers or graduate/professional students who qualify to participate in this credit based loan program. Applicants requiring an endorser for the PLUS loan will be required to complete a new PLUS promissory note for future applications of credit.
The entire MPN process must be completed in a single session and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. View what you will need to complete your MPN.
Entrance counseling will walk you through the Direct Loan process and explain your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. The Federal Government requires you to complete loan counseling to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and obligations you are assuming.
If you designate you are completing counseling in order to borrow a loan as an undergraduate student then the entrance counseling will fulfill counseling requirements for Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans.
If you designate you are completing counseling in order to borrow a loan as a graduate or professional student the entrance counseling will fulfill counseling requirements for Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans as well as Federal Direct PLUS Loans.
Entrance counseling is not required for parent borrowers of the Direct PLUS Loan program.
This process will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, during which you will learn about the following:
If you have borrowed from the Federal Direct Stafford and/or Federal Direct PLUS (Graduate only) Loan programs and you are graduating, on a leave of absence or are enrolled less than half-time, federal regulations and college policy require you to complete exit loan counseling. You will need to provide updated contact information, information regarding next of kin and two separate personal references. The exit counseling session should take approximately 30 minutes to complete during which you will learn about the following:

DURHAM, N.H. – Brooke Duchaney (Hampton Falls, N.H.) scored in the 89th minute to lift the University of New Hampshire women's soccer team within one goal, but the University of Massachusetts held off the Wildcats to prevail 2-1 in the 2011 season opener for both teams Tuesday afternoon at Lewis Fields.
UNH controlled play in the opening minutes of action, which produced an opportunity deep on the right wing for Meghan Ledwith (Yardley, Pa.) but her low shot to the near post was enveloped by UMass goalkeeper Stephanie Gordon (nine saves).
In the 10th minute, the Wildcats generated another dangerous scoring opportunity when Monique Lamotte (Tampa, Fla.), from the center of the field, played the ball wide left to Chelsea Kuss (Warners, N.Y.). Kuss was challenged strongly by a UMass defender in the box and was dispossessed to allow Gordon to corral the loose ball.
One minute later, Alyssa Michel (Bellingham, Wash.) struck a long service along the right side that was tracked down by Kuss, whose service into the box didn't connect with a pair of teammates.
The Minutewomen took a 1-0 lead at 17:33. On the right side, Cecilia Jensen struck a through ball from 40 yards past the defense that sprung Julie Morrissey for a 2-v-the goalkeeper breakaway at the top-right corner of the penalty area. Morrissey settled the ball and tucked a shot past charging UNH goalie Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.; two saves) inside the far post.
In the 30th minute, UNH's Drea Nogueira (New Bedford, Mass.) played the ball from the right corner back to open space on the near sideline. The oncoming Kelly Spencer (Exeter, N.H.) right-footed a low shot from just outside the top-right corner of the box to the far post, but Gordon made a diving save to preserve the one-goal lead.
The shots were even, 4-4, at halftime as UMass scored on its only shot on goal while all four of New Hampshire's shots were stopped by Gordon.
In the 71st minute, Erin McGaffigan blasted a low shot from 20 yards on the top-left side, but Correa was in position to make the save.
The Minutewomen extended the advantage to 2-0 at 84:41. Deanna Colarossi's initial shot from the top of the box was stopped by Correa, but the rebound went directly to Jen Houtmann on the left side and she deposited the ball into the open net from 13 yards.
UNH provided late drama when Duchaney scored with 1:38 remaining. From the top of the box, Lamotte struck the ball towards goal and Duchaney, from 10 yards, redirected a header past Gordon.
The 'Cats continued to press in the closing minute, but UMass kept them at bay to secure the win.
UNH recorded a 12-10 overall shot advantage, including a 10-4 margin in shots on goal. Corner kicks were even, 2-2.
New Hampshire returns to action Aug. 26 (4 p.m.) against American University in a neutral-site game at the University of Vermont. The Wildcats' next home game is Aug. 28 vs. Charleston Southern. Game time at Lewis Fields is 3 p.m.

Nation's Most Wired Hospitals Demonstrate Progress Through Innovation
"This year's Most Wired organizations exemplify progress through innovation," says Rich Umbdenstock, president and chief executive officer of the American Hospital Association. "The hospital field can learn from these outstanding organizations ways that information technology (IT) can help to improve efficiency."
Among some of the key findings from this year's survey:
Sixty-nine percent of Most Wired hospitals and 60 percent of all surveyed hospitals report that medication orders are entered electronically by physicians. This represents a significant increase from 2004 results when only 27 percent of Most Wired hospitals and 12 percent of all hospitals responded, "Yes."
Seventy-one percent of Most Wired hospitals have an electronic disease registry to identify and manage gaps in care across a population compared with 51 percent of total responders.
Sixty-six percent of Most Wired hospitals share patient discharge data with affiliated hospitals, in comparison to 49 percent of the total responders. Thirty-seven percent of Most Wired hospitals do so with non-affiliated hospitals versus 24 percent of total responders.
"Being recognized as a Most Wired hospital two years in a row demonstrates Eisenhower Medical Center's commitment to the use of IT in assisting with the overall care, safety and confidentiality of our patients," says David Perez, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Eisenhower Medical Center.

|What's New
Piedmont Avenue Elementary School (Oakland, CA)
All the BPN reviews for Piedmont Avenue Elementary School are old and mainly from one family. Can any current parents provide some reviews on teachers, school culture and parent community? It seems like the test scores have really improved in the last few years, but test scores are only so indicative of school quality. Zoned for PAES
There's a very diverse school community. Lots of immigrant kids from African, Middle Eastern, and Central American countries, as well as black and Latino kids. A smaller number of white, US born, kids.
Now, I'm going to take a moment to assume that at least some of the readers of BPN are white. I know that some parents find diversity attractive, but don't want their kids to be in a minority at their school. At PAES, white kids are a minority (if you count everyone who's not white as a monolith group, if you don't, then you just have lots of small groups making up the whole). I've heard parents say that they don't want their kid to be one of only a few white kids. I disagree with this because our kids learn about their white privilege in society through the media and everything they see and learn outside of school. I really don't see a problem for white kids at the school with identify or self-esteem or identity.
I will tell you that sometimes diversity gets complicated. When your kid wants to play with a kid who speaks almost no English and the mom doesn't either and you don't know any Chinese, how do you ask for a playdate? There are cultural differences and in some ways, it can be easier when everyone's the same. I think it's worth it. The other benefit of attending your neighborhood school is getting to know kids and families that live near your family (you said it's your zoned school). As the kids grow, they become able to walk to a friend's house or to school. I love knowing people as we make our way around our neighborhood.
As with any school, there are some great teachers and some teachers whom I don't love, but they all get the job done. My mom friends in private and hill schools have the same types of complaints and bumps in the road, so I just think that you're not going to find a school that you love every single aspect of.
PAES doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that you find at the hill schools or private schools. But, they have a lot of stuff that most parents want to make sure is in place. Science, music, Second Step (social emotional competency), arts, dance, a plethora of after school care options. There are several events each year where the school community comes together and the food reflects the amazing community. My kids love the spicy Ethiopian meat dishes. As soon as I send this, I'll think of more that I forgot.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, both during and outside the school day, and I would encourage you to do so. PAES fan
I have a schedule change coming up and I need some very limited after care for my 10 year-old son at Piedmont Ave. I have tried to contact Panther City, but I just can't get a hold of anyone. Does anyone know of anything besides what is listed on the school website? Stressed Mama
Later, we sent the kids for a couple of years to Studio One, which was also a good experience. Studio One sends a van over to pick up the kids and bring them to their location right behind Oak Tech High School. My kids really enjoyed the classes -- sports, photography, computers, etc. This year they're in fifth grade and both play a lot of soccer, so they're not doing an after school program. I recommend both Panther City and Studio One. And if you really get stuck, get my e-mail from the moderator and maybe we can help you out. (My daughter is longing to start a babysitting career, and my husband works at home.) Best wishes-- Happy PAES Mom
I am looking for first-hand experiences of parents who have sent their kids to Piedmont Avenue Elementary School. There are a few posts that date back to 2009 and 2010, but I'd love to hear from some current parents about the school, it's culture, performance, and general likes and dislikes about it.
My husband and I are putting an offer on a home in the Lakeshore area and it is zoned for Piedmont Avenue Elementary. I know some of the public schools in Oakland are not great, but I am a firm believer in trying to support your public school and would like to send our daughter (now 1 yr old) and any future children we may have to our local school if possible.
Would be great to hear from families who live in the area zoned for this elementary and are actually sending their kids there. Thanks! Lakeshore Parent
They interact with all different kinds of kids every day -- each year, there is a child who arrives mid-year and joins their class speaking little or no English. This year, a boy from Ethiopia joined their class in the spring, and they got to know him by playing soccer with him on the playground.
The teachers overall are very strong, and we're delighted with Mrs. Ahmad, our principal, now in her 4th year at the school.
Truly, our only regret is that we haven't been able to persuade many of our neighbors to try the school -- it would have been an even better experience with more local families who could easily attend meetings and with more time to spare for volunteering in different capacities. Regardless, it's been a great experience for us and our kids.
Thanks for asking about PAES! Philippa & Jeff
I have looked at some reviews, but have not seen any new reviews on Lakeview. Does anyone have a kid going or know of someone? Or if you live in this area and had trouble getting into a school of yr choice and had to go to Lakeview in the end? This brings me to my second question, the lottery system in Oakland. Our family can not afford private school,and we can not sell our home because of the market. I have read reviews on each persons experience, it's both half and half. Does anyone have some pointers for us? Do we try out charter schools too? Go meet with principals? What does it take? Or is it just luck? Any advice would help!
I attended the kindergarten roundup (orientation) 2 weeks ago, and was thrilled to see that 40 families showed up on a Sunday afternoon in July to meet each other! Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you have other questions about PAES or the OUSD lottery. Very best wishes! Philippa
My kids are in their 3rd year at Piedmont Avenue Elementary, and we have been very happy there. There are now many neighborhood families sending their kids to the school, and we'd like even more local families to join us.
We have a super-star principal, Mrs. Ahmad, who is in her second year with us, and a wonderful group of teachers who are working very well under her leadership.
There is tremendous diversity at the school, which is welcoming to kids of all ethnicities from all across Oakland -- Caucasian, Asian, African-American and mixed race.
Do you live in the Piedmont Avenue area? If you want your child to go to school with his/her neighborhood friends, then try Piedmont Avenue and encourage your neighbors to do the same.
Your child will also be in class with kids from Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal), Asia (China, Vietnam and Mongolia), Latin America (Mexico, Cuba and Central American countries) and Europe and the Middle East (Russia, Czech Republic and Yemen). This linguistic diversity means that our school API scores will never be in the 900's, but once you see all the beautiful children lined up to go into school in the morning, you won't care anymore!
Do you enjoy living in the multicultural city of Oakland, in the International Gourmet Ghetto that is Piedmont Avenue? Then put your values into action and send your child to Piedmont Avenue Elementary. We're here hoping to see you!
Send me an e-mail if you'd like to have a cup of coffee and have a no-pressure chat about any remaining misgivings you might have. Philippa
As a parent of a 4 year old, I'm trying to decide between my local school, Piedmont Ave Elementary,the options lottery, and private school. I'd like to share my impressions of Piedmont Ave so far, but I'd love to hear from other parents in this area making a similar choice. First, undeniably, Piedmont Ave is not in the top tier of Oakland public schools, and many of my neighbors aren't sending their children there but I'm pretty sure they haven't looked at it closely. I'm a big believer in walking my daughter to a local school, so I am looking at it closely. And I've been pretty impressed.
They give tours every Wednesday morning at 9. I don't know if this is typical, but when I went, I was the only person, and the principle gave me an awesome private tour. She took me in to all 3 kindergartens, and into an example of each of the other grades. Given only an hour, it seemed really good - similar to what I'd seen at Peralta. There's a PTA and a group of activist parents working to make the school better, though it's smaller than what you see at the top tier schools. The principle seems really sharp which helps a lot. I have the impression that it would be productive to put energy into the school because there's good school administration, and a decent parents group to work with. I strongly encourage other parents to at least take the tour. You can also join a yahoo group, walktoschoolPANSA, and there's a Kindergarten Information Night happening on Weds. December 9th.
If you're considering this same decison, what are your thoughts on it? Erik
We are considering staying in the Piedmont Avenue area and considering sending our children there. I'd love to hear recent parent's experience with Piedmont Avenue. It seems to get a bad rap because of the beating a few years back but I know there are other experiences out there.
Please come to one (or more!) of the following informational events:
There is a school tour with the principal every Wednesday morning at 9:00am. We began our tours in early November and will continue through December. (Note that the school is closed next week, so the next few tours will be December 2nd, 9th and 16th.)
We will have a Kindergarten Information Night at the school on Wednesday, December 9th. More information is forthcoming.
There will also be a more informal prospective family get-together in a current parent's home on the following Tuesday, December 15th, for people who can't make the December 9th event, or who want to meet lots of current families. Everyone is welcome.
Send me an e-mail and I'll keep you in the loop. You can also sign up for our neighborhood's school Yahoo group, by sending an e-mail to: email@example.com
Thanks again for your interest. Philippa
Re: transferring to a school closer to work
Hi there!I'm sorry for your dilemna of basically trying to be in two places at one time!I can't even imagine the challenges you face being a single mom, dedicated to making sure your kids are delivered and picked up from school on a daily basis, along with your own work schedule.But if I were in your shoes, I'd probably make the effort to transfer the kids to a closer school to BART. You had mentioned Piedmont Ave. Elementary, and a bullying issue. There was an incident a few years ago, but since that one time, Piedmont Ave.Elementary has blossomed into a very warm, inviting, multi-culturally diverse school, with wonderful innovative & energetic teachers, a wonderful Principal, alot of parent involvement etc. I know, because my children have been attending Piedmont Ave school for the past two years, and they LOVE school so much, they make it a point not to miss a day of school!( fortunately they are healthy).My husband and I are active PTA members and I am a daily school volunteer.Feel free to contact the school to come in for a tour and/or to talk to the Principal, Mrs. Ahmad. Or if you prefer, you can Google''Piedmont Avenue Elementary'', and the link will connect you with the ''Great Schools.net'' web site, which can give you some current insight of our wonderful school. Good luck and hope this helps! Denise
Re: Small public elementary school in Oakland
Hi -- I read your question about searching for a small public elementary school in Oakland and I want to encourage you to really consider Piedmont Avenue Elementary, near where you live.
It's not a particularly small school, but I don't know that you'll find a smaller one that you can transfer into -- not to mention that OUSD is considering closing elementary schools that have fewer than 360 kids enrolled (exactly Piedmont Avenue's enrollment). My twins are in first grade and we have really been delighted with both teachers they've had. They are reading and doing increasingly challenging addition and subtraction. They take Spanish after school two days per week and they enjoy a vibrant music program and a great P.E. program (with our Sports for Kids staff person) during school hours.
We have a wonderful new principal, who herself taught kindergarten at Chabot for many years and who is building on the good work of the previous principal. The school is extremely diverse -- Caucasian, Asian, African American, East African, West African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic -- Mexican and Central American, Eastern European, mixed race, and more! Last year we counted at least 17 different languages that the kids' families speak at home, including Spanish, French, Amharic, Tigrina, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, and Swahili.
To learn more about Piedmont Avenue Elementary, please join our community Yahoo group, which is called ''walktoschoolPANSA''. Send an e-mail to: email@example.com.
Please feel free to contact me directly at my e-mail below. You can also come to our next PTA meeting, which will be on November 10th at 6pm in the school library. Hope to meet you soon! Philippa
Parents keep saying that the public schools don't do enough for their children. I moved to Oakland and was very scared about sending my child to a public school. My children and their happiness is top on my list. I could either work overtime to afford to send both my children to private school or I could get involved with my public school and help make it great. I joined the PTA. It wasn't easy because I work full time. PTA, the dedicated teachers and principal were able to bring lots of programs to our school from all of the hard work.
Piedmont Avenue Elementary now has music classes, a great after- school program,and retired professionals coming to the school to talk to the children, and a garden outside. We are looking into having a foreign language at school. Starting in April, Kaiser Hospital will be picking up 1 class a week, and taking them to a farmers market where they will be met by Doctors, Nurses, and other staff to talk about different careers. There will be a series of informational lectures at the school on health, fitness, careers, disaster preparedness, etc. Piedmont Avenue is a great school and a true hidden jewel.
Here is the take home point: Ask not what your school can do for your child, but what you as a parent can do for your school. RENEE
Re: Oakland ''Hidden Gem'' Elementaries
Regarding ''hidden gem'' elementary schools in Oakland, I want to spread the word that Piedmont Avenue Elementary has a lot going for it these days. We have 2 kids there, and have been very pleased with the teachers, principal, the physical plant and the growing involvement of the PTA. The school needs some more parental (and grandparental) involvement, and that is starting to happen. There are also some great volunteers -- local retirees and the Experience Corps -- as well as two high- quality after school programs. Two music programs, an art/dance teacher, and a Sports 4 Kids physical education teacher round out the school time offerings.
There are 2 upcoming house meetings for people interested in learning more about Piedmont Avenue for their incoming kindergartener or older child. Philippa
I went in to Piedmont Avenue School to check it out unannounced. What I saw impressed me a lot. I saw classrooms in which the students were engaged and studying. The classrooms were clean, quiet, and not overcrowded. I made it a point to talk to teachers that I met in the hallway. I found them to be friendly, well spoken, and polite. After that I asked the secretary in the principal's office if by any small chance I could meet the principal. I didn't expect to meet her. I was surprised when she came out, greeted me and invited me into her office. I got to ask her questions about her school, what I had heard about the school and her, and talk about the philosophy of the school. She encouraged me to get involved with the school and the PTA. I left there very excited. Up until now I was not sure if I was going to send my children to this school. My husband and I were thinking of trying another district or going the private route. I really wanted this school because I live in the community. I have decided that from my brief meetings that my option is to get involved with the PTA, volunteer as much as I can, and become part of the school and make it mine. I want my kids to go to a place they can be proud of, learn a great deal from, and be safe. I invite everyone to check it out. You may leave very happy to have found a public school that you can call home. Renee
Dr. Angela Haick, the principal of Piedmont Avenue Elementary School in Oakland, is leading school tours at 9:00 am each Friday in January for parents of prospective Kindergarteners. You'll visit all of the Kindergarten classes and tour the library and computer center run by our full time librarian/computer teacher. You'll find out about our Arts/PE program run by a full time teacher, our band program that includes a component for all third graders, and our afterschool programs. Piedmont Avenue School has a diverse student body and a beautiful facility that blends an earlier Art Deco building with a modern wing built in the last several years. We're located at 4314 Piedmont Avenue in one of Oakland's most vibrant neighborhoods. Come check us out! Susan B, PTA Mom
Re: Did not get your public school choice in Oakland?
We also applied to a charter school, only to find ourselves competing (unsuccessfully) with 74 other families, for 5 kindergarten spots! To me, it seems pretty clear that we will not be able to transfer to an already excellent public school outside of the neighborhood, this year or in the near future. Therefore, I am hoping to feel comfortable sending my child to our neighborhood school next year -- we're doing 1 more year of preschool, for a number of reasons. For those who live in the Piedmont Avenue Elementary School neighborhood, and are thinking some of these same thoughts, I hope that you will sign up for the Yahoo group I started. Here's the information: Group name: walktoschool Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/walktoschool Let's talk about what we can do together so that our kids really can walk to an excellent Oakland elementary school.
Piedmont Ave parent
Hi. I am a parent of a 3.5 year old and am starting to look around at kindergartens for my son for September 2007. I just attended an informational meeting for Piedmont Avenue School, our neighborhood school, with its relatively new principal, Dr. Haick (she's in her third year there). I was very impressed, and I'd like to encourage other parents in our neighborhood to please take a look and visit the school before making a decision about where to send your child. In the past the school has not had the greatest reputation, and parent involvement had been quite low. Dr. Haick and some very dedicated teachers and parents have changed all of th at -- there is now an active and growing PTA. Test scores have improved dramatically in the past few years. Dr. Haick is also doing her best to bring more art and music into the school, as well as to improve the computer facilities -- they now have a computer specialist on staff. I encourage everyone to check it out for themselves -- there will be tours every Friday morning at 9am from now till April -- just show up at the school, located at 4314 Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. Diane
Thinking about a public school in Oakland? Check out PiedmontAve. Elementary on Piedmont Ave. at Echo. It's really up and coming with a very dedicated pricipal, teachers and staff. The PTA is very active with fundraising and increasing parent participation to make the school the absolute best! Before you think about enrolling in another Oakland school, or have a preschooler and are just beginning your search, come visit the school and see the good work going on! Pam
I am looking for other parents iliving in the Piedmont Ave. area who are interested in looking into Piedmont Ave. elementary. If you would like to consider PIedmont Ave. school as an option for your child -- or would be interested in improving the school for others -- let's talk. (My son is only one year old, so school is a ways off for us -- but would like to find out more, meet others, begin to organize, etc.). also -- any advice from other parents who've worked to improve other oakland public schools most welcome!

I like both games but I think I like Teras combat bit better,tho I miss the auto target thing here:-)

Likewise a warrior charge is defined as charching in a straight line and any deviation of that straight line is unreal - cheetas pursuing impalas and impalas fleeing cheetas also only move in a straight line. (Sure it isn't user controlled - that would be more fun and skillful, but in tera you also move in a fixed path when you use a skill).
If one has problems with curving magic projectiles, shouldn't one have problems with it being a magic projectile in the first place?
Or shouldn't one have problems on how can swing swords 2 or 3 times longer than the user? Or the fact that actions root one to the ground? Or the fact that even though you have to aim using a reticle you are still aiming a hitbox?
In my opinion both Tera and GW2 are changing the combat by making it more active and dynamic - one does that using a reticle aiming system, the other does it by using a fluid combat where one can do actions while moving and there is no target requirement for the skill to go off.
About resource management - energy, mana, rage is basically another timer on top of the cooldown timer and all save the same purpose of reducing same skill usage which lead to rotations.
GW2 breaks away from the rotations - the weapon skill 1 could as well be your left mouse button since it serves mostly the same purpose of the left mouse button on an FPS.
All the other skills have cooldowns and the management of resources isn't multiple timers management (they have the cooldown timer and some skills have different timers like the warriors adrenaline or thief initiative) but cost/opportunity
It is just different resources than usual but the skills aren't generic or have only one purpose - when you use your skill to do X you are passing the opportunity of using it to do Y instead.

Both combat systems require skill and are fun to play.
I'm not going to be playing Tera for 2 reasons - subscription (no point paying when there are games just as good or better without them) and out of combat stuff like questing (for my tastes GW2 world is apparently superior)
But we (at least I do) definetly are needing mmorpgs that have action combat and I don't think the combat will be the main factor deciding between GW2 and Tera for most people - both games will give a more lively, albeit different, combat.

The way it usually works is the stronger attacks have a bigger drawback. Even boxers and MMA fighters, with all their quickness, are vulnerable when they throw haymakers. I don't know why it's so hard for some video gamers to understand the trade-off.
I know that constant movement can be fun because it provides more of an 'arcade' feel to it, but the way TERA does it just adds another level of strategy.

One can tab-target, click on the enemy or shoot at their direction - yes, GW2 isn't requiring aiming skills.
About real world combat - it is a game that isn't trying to be a simulator or real life combat and neither is Tera. Gaming skill is about using the game tools and mechanics.
Actually in GW2 you don't need to be in range to activate your skills - your skills will activate without a target, maybe because GW2 isn't a strictly tab-target mmo. If you walk in front of my arrow, fireball or the arc of my sword you get hit.
Likewise if you hide behind an object, dodge or change movement direction the attacks will miss - yes the tab targetting doesn't guarantee a hit with the arrow if the target that was moving to the left abruptly changes direction to the right.
As it has been said before it is an hybrid system - sometimes works as a tab system and other works as Tera, relying on aligning weapon hitbox with enemy hitbox..
Actually you can't go through someone that is your target.
Since both you and your enemies can keep moving there can be actually more thought since you have to predict where he goes next to keep on him.
Skills are cooldown only, some profession specific mechanics introduce additional resources.
But again, you don't have a ton of skills at your disposal at any given time and your "1" skill is a reliable damage source with really low cooldown, so wasting other skills abilities at the wrong time meansyour options are severily reduced.
Additionally everyone has to manage their endurance resource (resource used for dodging) and their swap weapon cooldown.
Actually the Ranged vs Melee is mostly PvE debate (and WvW in big mobs), so it isn't about kiting ad nauseum. People die to easy in melee because the damn PvE mobs can be actually though and if you stand there tab targetting all happy you die.
In PvP there are enough tools to make the ranged vs melee balanced.
I hope this help clearing out some misconceptions people have about GW2 mechanics.

All the people saying GW2 combat is amazing and innovative must have never played AoC. Being able to attack without a target doesnt make a game not tab target. If you want to hit an enemy in a pack on gw2, u tab target them. In Tera, you aim your attack at them.
Originally posted by helthros
Imobility is simply one of the ways of representing vulnerability and providing opportunities.
The downside of the Tera system is that it becomes easier to avoid the hits if every time one attack it has to stop.
GW2 offer those opportunities with their CC, skills that can have movement modifiers, boons and conditions.
Then add cooldowns and dodge.
You just used your big attack with a big cooldown and I just dodged taking no damage (remember you don't have that many skills availablr, so each one is precious), now you are vulnerable. On the other hand, I'm vulnerable as well since spent 1 of my dodges and have to regain endurance.
Its different ways of approaching combat that in my opinion are superior to other more traditional systems.
One may prefer one or the other, they will require different skill and routines, but both are active combat systems.

The main difference between the tab targetting present in GW2 and other tab targetting systems is that it doesn't guarantee a hit - you may be out of range or have no line of sight and the skill will still animate and go in to cooldown, the enemy may change direction and your arrow or attack will miss, the enemy can dodge (yeah PvE mobs after the first few levels start to do this), some other enemy can get in front of your target and get hit instead.

Once you play GW2 as a caster and realize you can actually keep moving while casting, you will wonder why every other freaking game doesn't have this implemented. I've played Tera, and TBH, it felt like a much less responsive version of DCUO (mainly because of being locked down with certain skill combos), which is still fun, but doesn't feel as fluid as GW2.

If you're going to skip some release upgrades, why do some of them anyway? Versus treating it like your fathers AS/400 and just restore a few user libraries and be done with it? You're going CISC-to-RISC to a 170 at V4R5. Then you plan on upgrading the 170 to V5R2. Actually, the 170 supports V5R3 so I'd get to that also. Then go to the 520 and V5R4. I don't think V5R2 ran on a 520. I think the only thing I was missing was V5R3. Rob Berendt

This year's Oscars features two nominees in the best picture category that are about slavery: Lincoln and Django Unchained
The one that probably stands a better chance of winning the judges' votes is Lincoln, not because it is a better film but because it ticks all of the requisite boxes. World-class actor, check. Worthy subject matter, check. Steven Spielberg, check.
I thought it was really well made and it was reverential to Abe Lincoln without being patronising, which is to its credit.
Quentin Tarantino's latest offering takes the same approach to historical accuracy as Inglourious Basterds and they are both incredibly similar to each other. They are both revenge fantasies of ethnic groups who have suffered great atrocities. But Tarantino handles this subject matter with the sensitivity of a Frankie Boyle.
Rather than making something preachy dealing with slavery head-on, the issue is used as a tool to make the audience feel all the more intensely. No one is going to go into this film thinking slavery is a good thing so it's an effective way of turning feeling you get rooting for the good guy Django (Jamie Foxx) and hating the bad guy (Leonardo DiCaprio) all the way to 11. Plus no one does violence like Tarantino and this doesn't disappoint with bucket loads of blood flying across the screen.
The casual use of the N-bomb and the general way slavery is depicted is enough to incense anyone but, if a film can make you feel anything then it is doing its job.
Two very good films but in two very different ways.

I only get to see my club Lincoln very rarely, due to work commitments meaning I get to follow the Gills up and down the country, but I seem to have been very fortunate over recent years.
Twice during the 08/09 season the Imps beat Gillingham and once more they came to Priestfield and walked away with maximum points.
Anyone that was there on Saturday will know what a shocker that first half was. Poor passing, poor distribution and very little threat on the Lincoln goal. And when Albert Jarrett took a punt and Cian Hughton followed up with the goal early on it was an up-hill battle for the Gills.
Lincoln sat deep and did what any team would do - time waste! There were injuries and substitutions to run down the clock and in the end it worked.
If you want a reminder of the Imps win, click here for the report and here for Barry Goodwin's pics.
That leaves the Gills without a win from their opening four games of the season (three in the league) but at least they have the benefit of some quality players coming back from injury. The team that have sat out in recent weeks could have comfortably dealt with League 2.
I'm most looking forward to seeing Cody McDonald. Apparently he's good mates with X-Factor man Ollie Murs and if you click this link HERE you can see him being interviewed on GMTV as he backed his mate for success.
Talking of singing Adebayo Akinfenwa revealed how he sang a "medley" of tunes to his new team-mates before the Hereford game but strangely there was no heckling. Bayo's said: "Nobody booed. If they did they would have to see me one to one." As he said that I had visions of Mr T from the A-team. I certainly wouldn't have questioned his singing ability.
And will we ever see that former Ajax player Stanley Aborah? Injuries seem to have plagued him throughout his career. It stopped him getting a contract with Middlesborough a couple of seasons ago and it could deny him the chance to show his skills with the Gills. I hope he gets another contract as from what I have seen in pre-season he has bags of quality and it would be a shame if he never got the chance to prove what he could do.
Mark McCammon was out with the squad on Saturday after apparently being "beasted" by Nicky Southall in the gym pre-match! (according to Hess) Sounds like an interesting work-out. At the end of my last blog I said that I couldn't envisage the Gills trooping off to a chorus of boos on Saturday. How wrong I was.
I wasn't surprised to hear them on Saturday after that first half performance but now everyone has just got to keep their fingers crossed and hope things improve, and I'm sure they will.
Morecambe are up next as the Gills head to the rather grandly named Globe Stadium. If ever I attended a place called the Globe Stadium I wouldn't expect to be seeing Morecambe entertaining Gillingham in a League 2 match - no disrespect.
What is impressive is that a team of Morecambe's standards have managed to build a stadium for £12 million. If they can do it, anyone can do it, so let's hope the Gills can have a new venue one day.
I'm sure a few of you might have seen how Stimmo's Barnet team got a thrashing at the weekend - 7-0 at Crewe. Never afraid to speak his mind, Stimmo said afterwards: "I apologise to our fans. I've told the players they have to put some cash back in their pockets. That was not acceptable."
I wonder if that could take off. Players regularly dipping in their wallets to pay for the fans if they put in a bad performance. But should the manager take some of the blame as well?? After all, he signed these players. If players had to start paying for bad shifts then surely it would only be fair if it happened in all forms of work. Would that mean I would have to give our newspaper readers a refund if I make a spelling mistake!? It could prove very costly.
Not only were there problems on the pitch on Saturday, there were also issues in the press box. We used to have proper plastic cups for half-time bovril etc, but now are resigned to thin ones, which need stacking four deep to avoid burning your hands. And, as the chap next to me found out, they are clearly not wind resistant.
Luckily the table was level and it remained in a puddle. Testament to the builder of that Medway Stand (one of whom worked the PA system during the pre-season friendly at Concord Rangers. He was quite chuffed by that "claim-to-fame" and I was quite chuffed at his levelling skills). But anyway, I expect that same puddle to have turned to mould by the time Gills are next at home. I look forward to seeing if Martin (press officer) has been out with a cloth - which I doubt.
If you are not going to Morecambe then you can follow all the action via our text service and get involved in a bit of light-hearted banter at the same time. It starts from 2.30pm on Saturday via the kentonline.co.uk/gillingham website. Cheers for now, Luke.

Gillingham got a rude and a little belated welcome to life in League 2 by Hereford on Saturday.
Hereford's Edgar Street is one of those football grounds that probably hasn't changed since the days when they used to parade a bull around the pitch before kick-off.
I'm not sure whether it was health and safety or the animal's toiletry habits that finally ended that little tradition.
The old cattle market outside (I think that's what it was) has been turned into a car park and at just £1 to park even I could afford it and even the strange smell of urine wafting around the place didn't put me off.
I don't know what the changing rooms were like but the press facilities were a little cramped.
Apparently the press-box was "reserved" for others and so it meant squeezing in between the Hereford fans. It was a little cramped.
On the field the Gills were getting much the same kind of welcome as Hereford's giant-sized team put their weight around whenever possible.
It must take some doing to put Adebayo Akinfenwa on the deck, but big Hungarian brute Janos Kovacs managed it just before half-time.
Mark Bentley also got a whack and Andy Barcham spent much of the first half hobbling around after a crude challenge.
"Bayo" got to his feet in time for a rant at whoever was in his vicinity as the teams left for half-time. Hessy had the job of guiding him back to the changing rooms.
The Gills should have won the game. Chris Palmer spanked the post in the first half and Danny Spiller was unlucky in injury time not to have finally ended that away run without a win. It's been 27 games now, but I'm sure it won't be long now.
Because I have the pleasure of following Gillingham home and away every weekend it means I don't get to see my own team very often, and so the visit of the mighty Imps this weekend is a rare "treat".
Ever since my Dad took me to Sincil Bank for the first time I have been stuck supporting one of the worst teams in the league. Unfortunately when you live in Lincolnshire there isn't a lot of choice when it comes to football teams, so you can either play it or head down to Lincoln and watch it. The City had a thriving Saturday and Sunday League set-up.
I got drunk once as well and as a bet got a Lincoln Imp tattoo. So that's me stuck with them!
Lincoln took six points off the Gills last time the sides were in the same division, much to my surprise, and Chris Sutton's team need some points desperately this time around.
The Imps are currently holding up the rest of the league following defeats to Rotherham and Torquay.
I think I was destined to have some connection with the Gills as I still own a Gillingham FC hat which I found at Sincil Bank when I was a kid. I don't remember the score, but no doubt Lincoln lost, we're good at that, but I did win a new hat that day so if anyone dropped their Gillingham hat in Lincoln, thanks.
Gills fans may get to see Delroy Facey in action again on Saturday as he was one of Sutton's summer signings, along with Albert Jarrett. Needless to say I wasn't going down the bookies to put money on Lincoln getting promoted, or indeed getting back involved in the play-offs.
The only good thing about supporting Lincoln is that we know we're rubbish and so anything is a bonus. Just a goal would be nice on Saturday and I'm not expecting much more as Hess seems to have put together a decent side.Last time Lincoln were in town the Gills were beaten and trudged off to a chorus of boos, with the manager insisting that he would "never win the fans over."
I can't see that happening this weekend.

Ponds, soils and headwater streams reports published
04 February 2010
Pondwater in north Wales
Information on the state of Britain's ponds, headwater streams and soils is presented in three reports published today (4 February 2010) by the Countryside Survey partnership. The publications follow a survey of the countryside conducted in 2007 when a team of specially trained scientists from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology surveyed almost 600 randomly selected one-kilometre square sites in England, Scotland and Wales.
The reports show some positive signals for conservation of biodiversity, such as improvements in the quality of headwater streams, an increase in the number of ponds, a reduction in phosphorus in soils and recovery in some soils from the effects of acid rain.
However, they also show some negative signals. For example, ponds in England and Wales are widely degraded and pond quality has declined over the past decade.
Among the key findings presented in the Ponds report:
- In 2007, the number of ponds in Great Britain was estimated to be 478,000.
- The 2007 survey provided evidence that, as measured by their composition of plants, ponds in England and Wales were widely degraded, with around 80% of ponds being of Poor or Very Poor quality.
- There was a high turnover of ponds between 1998 and 2007, with an estimated 18,000 ponds lost and 70,600 new ponds created. New ponds were typically of better quality and supported more plant species than older ponds.
Among the key findings in the Soils report:
- Overall there was no change in carbon concentration in the soil (0-15cm) in Britain between 1978 and 2007. This is important because soils hold a large amount of carbon which if released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide could contribute to climate change.
- The recovery in soil (0-15cm) pH detected by Countryside Survey in 1998 has continued amongst the less acidic, mineral and humus-mineral soils suggesting recovery from acidification.
- There were an estimated 12.8 quadrillion soil invertebrates present in the top 8cm of soils during the time of Countryside Survey sampling in 2007.
Key findings described in the Headwater Streams report include:
- Increases in the number of headwater stream plant species, and in habitat quality appear to have occurred throughout Great Britain.
- Overall, changes occurring to the ecological status of headwater streams are broadly positive, although some negative changes will need further investigation.
Copies of the full reports are available for downloading from the Technical Reports section of the Countryside Survey website. The data underpinning these reports have been released previously and are available to download via the CS Data Access services.

text: A Global Review and Analysis of the Fuel Fabrication Markets The Ux Consulting Company (UxC) is pleased to present the 2014 Fabrication Market Outlook (FMO), which is the eighth annual edition in this series. This year's report focuses on issue of competition in the fabrication markets while building upon the significant enhancements made in past FMO editions as part of our continuing efforts to increase understanding in the global nuclear fuel fabrication marketplace. UxC's in-house team along with consultant, Joel Gingold, with over forty years experience in the fuel fabrication industry, have prepared this comprehensive and up-to-date report addressing the commercial, economic, institutional, and technical aspects of this sector. Fabrication's high technical content, need for regulatory approval, and the restriction of fuel assemblies to specific reactors require a unique approach to its market analysis. To those with little knowledge of fuel fabrication and its markets, this report provides a solid background and understanding of how these markets function. To those knowledgeable in the fundamentals of fabrication, it offers analyses of a variety of its aspects based on several decades of participation. To those actively involved in the industry, it supplies updated analysis to assist in the improvement of existing nuclear fuel programs and in the development of new ones. What's New in the 2014 FMO? The 2013 FMO report builds on the content and format adopted in previous years, and, of course, all of the discussions and analyses have been updated to reflect the events of the past 12 months, including continuing shifts resulting from the Fukushima accident. This year's essay, titled "The Death of Competition?" presents a comprehensive assessment of the present declining trends in competition, how the fabrication markets may develop in future years and what (if anything) can be done to enhance competition in various global markets. We have again conducted a survey of international utility attitudes toward the fabrication market on many topics. This year's fuel fabrication demand projection is again based on the UxC Requirements Model (URM), which takes UxC's proprietary forecasts for nuclear power growth and calculates demand on a reactor basis. The model has been refined and improved to produce even more accurate forecasts. As in the past, the focus of the report is fuel for Light Water Reactors (LWRs), i.e., Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), including VVER designs; but we also include updated discussion of fabrication for pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), gas cooled reactors in the UK (Magnox, AGR), and light water cooled, graphite moderated reactors (LGR) in Russia (e.g. RBMKs). We also now analyze the fuel market for small modular reactors (SMRs). In addition to updating our supply and demand data to 2030, our 2014 report includes specific year-by-year fabrication price forecasts to 2030, including discussion of the many factors influencing fabrication prices. Pricing The Fabrication Market Outlook may be purchased for US$5,000.00. An order page is available for ordering this report.

ASTRONOMERS have identified the smallest known black hole - a dark void in space-time only about 20 kilometres wide. They have also found four unusually heavy neutron stars, and together these objects are plugging a mysterious gap in the range of masses of dead stars that roam our galaxy.
The discovery of these "missing links" has delighted astronomers. "It's reassuring because there is no physical reason that these things shouldn't be there," says David Nice of Princeton University in New Jersey. "This has been quite a puzzle."
Both neutron stars and black holes form when very massive stars blow up in supernova explosions at the end of their lives. Before his work on the atomic bomb, the American physicist Robert Oppenheimer showed in the 1930s that the size of the remaining core is critical to what happens next.
According to today's calculations, if the core weighs between about 1.4 and ...

Nusselt numbers have been calculated for heat transfer to fluids flowing through annuli under conditions of uniform heat flux and fully-established velocity and temperature profiles. The following cases were considered: (a) laminar flow, (b) slug flow, (c) turbulent flow with molecular conduction only, and (d) turbulent flow with both molecular and eddy conduction. These Nusselt numbers were determined for two conditions: heat transfer from the inner wall only and heat transfer from the outer wall only. The results for parts (c) and (d) were correlated by semiempirical equations. The final results obtained on cases (a), (b), and (c) are applicable to any fluid, whereas those obtained on (d) are for liquid metals only.Wall- and bulk-temperature relationships for the above four cases were also determined. They were treated as dimensionless ratios. Many of the Nusselt numbers and temperature ratios were evaluated over the r1/r2 range, zero to unity; the former being the case of the circular pipe, and the latter, that of infinite parallel plates.

Depends on how much you need/use it really. Personally I have a couple Windows Servers here, one has MSSQL on it already so no need here, plus I use VS2013 pretty much daily for work (among other tools), so that's a "real" install for me obviously. The IDE lets you target different versions of the platforms as needed too so it's not like you have to for backwards compatibility.. of course if you're using Windows 7 and you need to target Windows 8.x, then a Windows 8 VM will be required. But if it's just something for curiosity's sake or a once-and-done thing or just not sure if you want to use it, a VM wouldn't be out of the question sure. Both are rather large, shoot my documentation library alone is pushing 7GB.. if you decide later you don't want/need it cleanup is that much easier.

For server based apps, I prefer to virtualise the environments. It's better to run a development configuration that is similar to production. Plus virtualisation has a bunch of advantages. VMs are portable/shareable, you don't need to pollute your workstation OS with stuff that you need for one project but not for another, you get snapshots and rollbacks, you can reinstall your workstation OS / move computers without losing your development configuration etc. etc.
For client apps, it's usually just a matter of installing an IDE, cloning the repo and I'm good to go. No need to virtualise the development environment there.
Posted 19 February 2014 - 14:51
How so? (Not judging, just curious).
I like clean, separate environments. Once I setup an environment for VS2013, I'll take an image of it. That will then be my base environment. If I have to do work on a different project/client, and I think a clean environment would benefit, I'll just create a VM from my base image.
Sometimes I'll have projects that have strange dependencies on garbage products. Instead of polluting my machine with them, I'd rather just create a VM for it. I don't have to worry about conflicts or issues caused because that was installed on my machine and it wasn't installed on a test machine.

opinionBy Ousman Njie
Riots are spontaneous outburst of emotions. They are unpredictable. Each riot only needs a spark that serves as a pretext for it to spread like bush fire. The St. Augustine's riot is no exception. In the St Augustine's case, the spark was the holding of mock exams to the exclusion of some students who for one reason or another were prevented from sitting the exams by Father Manneh.
Every riot which breaks out has its own dynamics. In the case of St Augustine's Senior Secondary School the grievances against exclusion from the mock exams provoked long held grievances to surface thus leading to an outburst of emotions which resulted in the throwing of stones and the disruption of normal school life.
In yesterday's issue, Foroyaa reporters published the views of some angry students. They painted a grim picture of the stewardship of Father Manneh. However, when students on all sides of the academic spectrum were spoken to Foroyaa could get a balanced picture. It is abundantly clear to us that if no student was excluded from sitting to the mock exams there would be grievances against Father Manneh for being a disciplinarian but there would have been no riot. There is no doubt that students have a lot to explain to their parents if they go up to grade twelve and are excluded from sitting their exams because of administrative decision. One could understand the motivating factor for emotional outburst against Father Manneh's administrative decision which of course is designed to register high performance for the school as some students also claimed.
Some students on one side of the political spectrum did accuse Father Mnnneh of seizing shoes worn to school that are not full shoes and mobile phones and of preventing students from leaving class or being late for class because of prayers. Other students on the other side felt that if Father Manneh were to be more diplomatic in speech with the students and more accommodating the students against his administration would have realised what they have already realised that he wants the best for them. They support his zero tolerance for any tinkering with mobile phones while in school. They support his zero tolerance for lateness and absenteeism. They support the initiatives he takes to find sponsors for poor students. However, they maintain that he should not seize the shoes of poor students who cannot afford full shoes and should not be too harsh in speech and actions against the students. They also suggested that he should be more accommodating to students who wish to observe their prayers. Such students are convinced that once all Grade 12 students are allowed to take their mock exams and sit to the Grade 12 exams without exclusion the riot provoked by the circumstances would be history.
In the long run, the schools should encourage the students to have student governments in schools comprising elected representatives of students who listen to their grievances and convey them to the administration for redress. This is the way forward as an alternative dispute prevention mechanism.

Device: Circumcision clamp
FDA Device Classification: Clamp, circumcision
Problem Description
Circumcision using [circumcision] clamp. Clamp was loose, resulting in laceration of the glans penis with loss of tip. Infant was transferred to another hosp for urologic consultation and surgery to repair damaged penis. (MAUDE Report No. 257649)
Device: Vacuum extractor
FDA Device Classification: Extractor, vacuum, fetal
Problem Description
Infant boy was delivered at [time] on [date]. Delivery was complicated by a prolonged second stage. Infant suffered hemorrhage beneath scalp at birth. Infant was admitted to neonatal intensive care unit and was placed on ventilator at [time]. Infant expired at [time] on [date]. The cause of death was the hemorrhage. It is speculated that the hemorrhage resulted from the use of a vacuum extractor with a defective gauge. Gauge on the device registered in the green "safe" zone even though excess vacuum was being produced. This defect was confirmed by testing the device using a pressure transducer. There would have been no way the user of the device would have known that the gauge was defective and that a dangerous level of vacuum was being produced … Device manufacture date is 1/17/96. (MDR Access No. M763107)
Device: Nasal dressing
FDA Device Classification: Bandage, liquid
Problem Description
The nasal dressing was placed in the pt in 2004 subsequent to sinus surgery. Two days later the nasal dressing fell apart while trying to remove it. The hosp health professional tried to remove the dressing again in 2004 and was unable to do so. The next day the dressing was surgically removed.
Manufacturer Response
User was not able to provide lot number, therefore mfg data is unavailable. The device did not fail, but was apparently cut or teased apart in an attempt to remove it. Surgically removed sample showed the pvc pouch with foam inside was fully intact, three weeks following initial surgery; indicating that the core of the product did not come apart; but was wedged and had to be surgically removed. User selected a 3 cm adult size contributing to the difficulty of removal. More suitable choices, when dealing with a small child's anatomy, include: the smaller removable dressing; model rr 200 which is 1/3 smaller than the device used. The dissolvable dressing; commonly used for pediatric cases because they can be trimmed to fit any size/shape anatomy, and do not require physical removal. (They dissolve away over time.) (MAUDE Report No. 1064611-2004-00002)

Dear COES Families,
School will not be in session all next week – Monday and Tuesday are furlough days and Wednesday through Friday is the Thanksgiving holiday.
We have a total of five furlough dates when students are in session – the remaining dates are Monday, January 9; Friday, March 23; and Friday, May 25.
Two additional furlough dates have been added for school employees – just prior to the start of school, and again at the end of the school year.
This is a result of state budget cuts and reduced school funding from Sacramento.
This translates to nearly 30 hours of lost instruction – an incredible disservice to our students.
Please email, call, or write to our elected leaders in Sacramento and let them know our students deserve better. Our state government needs to make school funding our top priority!
Letter writing would be a great exercise for our upper grade students – and make quite an impression on our elected officials!
School resumes Monday, November 28.
Please join us for our first Dine and Donate at Chevy's restaurant on Monday, November 14.
When you bring the small flier (the school copies are blue, but any color is fine), Chevy's will donate 25% of your meal purchase. Additional fliers are available in the office.
This applies to both dine-in and take-out. Chevy's will honor these flier's from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there!
This Wednesday morning is "Walk and Roll Day" – Rain or shine!
Students who ride their bicycles or walk to school will receive a prize located by the front gate. This program is sponsored by the Napa County Office of Education.
This will become a monthly routine and we hope to have the majority of our students participate!
Our next School Site Council meeting takes place this Thursday, November 17 at 3 p.m. in the library.
We will be reviewing STAR data from last spring and make recommendations for our Single Plan for Student Achievement.
Site Council meetings are open to the public.
This Friday, November 18 will be a BIG day at Canyon Oaks!
1. Student Council announced this Friday is Hat Day. Students may show their school spirit by wearing a hat of any kind.
2. Report Cards go home at the end of the day on Friday.
3. Our BEST assembly is Friday morning: K-2 is from 8:25 – 8:40 and gr. 3-5 is from 8:45 – 9:00 a.m.
4. Movie Night takes place at 7 p.m. in the Multi-Use Room. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. We are requesting a $2 per person donation. We will be showing "Cars 2″. Food will be available for sale.
Have a great week!

Alito explains Supreme Court work in State Bar speech
DALLAS--Justice Samuel Alito offered a glimpse into the inner workings of the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday during the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting.
Alito, speaking during the Bar Leaders Recognition Luncheon, offered a "top 10" list of things he believes most people don't know about the court, saying his fellow justices' recent TV talk show appearances inspired the David Letterman-style countdown.
Among them: Most cases don't involve constitutional law; oral arguments--although high profile--are only a small part of the job; and, despite some tartly worded dissents every now and then, the justices basically get along.
Alito, who joined the court in 2006, spoke to a crowd of more than 1,300 people inside the Hilton Anatole on the first full day of the bar's annual meeting. The meeting continues Friday.

Loving The Latest Fad June 11, 2013
Reviewer: baconstrip
Am I the only one who has noticed the emphasis New Sensations/Digital Sin is putting on films featuring tight, young girls getting paired up with huge cocks? "Baby Needs A Black Cock" continues what "She's So Cute" "Young Girl Seductions" "Coeds Are Easy" "Tiny Titty Girls" "18 & Easy" "Cutie Pies" "Cute And Innocent?" "Pure And Natural" "Creamed Teens" "Cute Little Butt" "Schoolgirl POV" "My Little Pussy" "Naughty Little Things" "I Love Young Girls" and of course "A Big Dick For A Cutie". There are more trust me, but I'm loving the angle. There is nothing sexier than a little spinner getting impaled by a huge dick. And in this installment it just happens to be black dick. Riley Reid has perfected this art and she really enjoys it. Best of all, it's well shot and all the girls are mouthwateringly hot. All I can say is that I never tire of this genre and I hope NS/DS keeps pushing the envelope for younger girls and even bigger cocks.
