Many parents tend to dismiss the idea of sending their children to private school without exploring it in depth. We explore this and several more related subjects.
When it comes to choosing a private school, there are so many choices to consider that the project can be a huge challenge to most of us. We offer some help and advice to help you get started.
Sending your child to a foreign language school makes good sense when you have been posted to this country from abroad and in other circumstances as well.

An Afternoon with Monet "It took me sometime to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for pleasure and cultivated them without thinking of painting them. A landscape does not sink into you all at once. And then suddenly, I had a revelation of the magic of my pond. I took up my palette. Since then I have hardly had another subject." ~ Claude Monet to writer Mark Elder, 1920s via Majorlight

"Walk (Road of the Farm Saint-Siméon)" -- 1864 -- Claude Monet -- French -- Oil on canvas -- The National Museum of Western Art -- Japan
Claude Monet: (14 November 1840—5 December 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise
Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It's enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it. • Claude Monet in Giverny, date unknown

Viewers shouldn't fall prey to 'Duck Dynasty' marketing ploy
Every time you see a Facebook status that reads, "I stand with Phil," you have to wonder to yourself "Which bigoted remarks does this person stand with — the homophobic ones or the racist ones?"
When the Arts and Entertainment (A&E) Network indefinitely suspended Phil Robertson from the television series "Duck Dynasty," on Dec. 18 for comments he made during an interview with GQ comparing homosexuality to bestiality and promiscuity, its actions ignited a fury of uproar across the nation of people touting that A&E was violating Robertson's rights of freedom of speech.
But what A&E was doing was simply setting up the beginning of a brilliant marketing campaign in order to pull in more viewers.
During the premiere of the fourth season, the show broke cable viewing records when 11.77 million people tuned in. However, since the premiere, the ratings steadily declined each week and the season finale ended with 8.89 million viewers.
A&E seemed to be on the right track with the suspension when they released the following statement:
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series 'Duck Dynasty,'" the network stated. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
But Robertson's comments touched on more than homosexuality — he also stated that he never saw any mistreatment of any black person before the Civil Right's era and that men should marry women when they're 15 or 16, before they become interested in men for their money.
It should come as no surprise that an older southern, white gentleman from his background would have the beliefs that he does, however as a prominent television star, it is not even surprising that he would casually dismiss the feelings of such large groups of people and publically state his bigoted opinions for the whole country to hear.
It is also no surprise that there would be an uproar over his comments, that there would be an uproar over the uproar and that there would be an uproar over the uproar over the uproar.
What is surprising is that only 10 days after the suspension, A&E backtracked on their decision, and announced Robertson would be reinstated. That is, surprising only to those that do not understand how television profits work.
Not only did A&E take the opportunity to capitalize on the great political divide that is currently effecting America, but it also despicably capitalized on the oppression underrepresented groups have suffered and still suffer through today in this country.
Only time will tell if their great marketing plan paid out, but it will be a sad day in America and a huge step backward in this country's movement toward progressive acceptance of a diverse culture if the viewers tune back in.

Name that Tax Increase
The weather channel made a unilateral decision this season to start naming winter storms.: The large snowstorms called Nemo and Plato are recent examples of this.: Their argument is that this is a better way to communicate about an upcoming storm and track the destruction, such as has been used for hurricanes for decades.: Some may think that this is silly and unnecessary.: If this helps communicate the impending doom and devastation of a Hurricane or Winter Storm then what is the harm?
The news media should track the destruction from "Tax Storm Barack", much like they would a hurricane.: The tax increase primarily was directed at the wealthy, such as business owners.: These wealthy are similar to the people who live closest to the coast in a hurricane, in that, they are only the first hit by the storm.: Coverage of the effects could be interviews with unemployed people who remained unemployed, since businesses never hired them after the tax increase.: Maybe they could visit yacht manufacturers and talk about the reduction in orders, or turn cameras on a Mercedes showroom where a salesman is asked about his prospects of making his quota this month.: Maybe there is a pro golfer who has laid-off a secretary who can be interviewed.: There should be a large on-screen banner that is labeled "Tax Storm Barack Devastation!".: They would also have to do follow-ups every month, because the damage keeps hitting as long as the tax increase is in place.
The President wants to increase taxes to avoid the March 1st: sequester, so the media needs to start warning about the upcoming storm.: This naming idea needs to have a mechanism to warn about the impending doom.: Along the lines of naming a Tropical Depression, perhaps Tax Depression could be used.: This could also act as a warning that an actual Depression could ensue if the warnings are not heeded.: Since we need to use a different name for each Tax Storm, why not use Harry (for the Senate majority leader) for this one.: Stories could start to be written now about "Tax Depression Harry", so the citizens could be mobilized to ward off the storm.: If the Republicans fail to hold the line, it will naturally turn into "Tax Storm Harry".: Names should be simple enough to line up based on seniority in the Democratic leadership, so Nancy could be next.: Maybe there could be some honorary titles like Al or Bill, so older Democrats don't miss out on the dishonor.: Democrats never run out of tax increase ideas, so there will be plenty of naming of Depressions and Storms opportunities to go around.
Don't react to the naming of winter storms by thinking it is unnecessary or silly.: Learn from what it tells us about how to communicate to the American people.: This technique can be used to educate the public about the devastating ideas the Democratic Party has for our country.: If this technique can help explain that tax increases are bad, it will be a start

Region: Southwest
Topic: Wildflower Center, Xeriscapes
Title: Native plant landscaping
Answered by: Sage Kawecki
QUESTION:How does native plant landscaping differ from xeriscaping?
Xeriscaping is the landscaping practice of using low-water tolerant plants for arid climates. This practice often uses plants from arid regions of other countries. Native plant landscaping is the practice of using native plants, and choosing the right plant for the right ecological niche. Native plants are already adapted to the particular combination of soil, temperature, nutrients and rainfall of that region. It is a practice not limited to arid regions that can be employed whether you live in the arid southwest or the moist northwest.

La Marzocco Strada Portafilter Basket - 58mmBecause of all the variables in coffee and espresso production, true consistency can be a lofty goal.

Using laser precision, the Strada portafilter basket eliminates inconsistency in hole size as well as positioning. The double basket (17g) will fit most 58mm portafilters, the triple basket (20g) will most likely require a bottomless portafilter, but please check manufacturer specifications on your machine to be sure.

EXCLUSIVE: iPhone 4 owners happy with reception
In light of the problem with the antenna on the Apple iPhone 4, are people actually returning them?
That's the question we've put to Vodafone, Orange and O2, as well as Carphone Warehouse and a number of retailers in the UK over the last couple of days.
Since launch, there's been a mass-furore over the handset, with a number of sites and magazines around the world, including high-profile titles such as Consumers Reports (the US equivalent to Which?) discussing the problem. They have all said or implied that they have research to show that the phone is flawed when it comes to making calls; due to poor antenna design which affects reception - and citing the way you hold the phone as the main cause of the signal strength issues.
Indeed, we've even reported the on the issue several times.
And it's a problem Apple is seemingly aware of, with the tech giant promising a software fix in an update expected in August.
However, Pocket-lint has looked into this further, past the headlines, and has found that, while the media on both sides of the pond jump up and down demanding Apple must enforce a full scale product recall, customers of the iPhone 4 - in the UK at least - aren't actually that bothered. Or don't believe there's a fault at all.
How do we know this? Because they aren't returning the phone once they've bought it.
"We've seen returns in line with expectations", a spokesperson for O2 told Pocket-lint. "By that we mean no more than usual. They aren't flooding back in".
"In line with expectations" essentially means that there are some people returning the handset, but not in great numbers, and certainly no more than other phones the operator stocks.
Every handset sees returns.
But it's not just O2 - "home of the smartphone" - that is telling us it's seeing minimal returns. Vodafone has also confirmed to Pocket-lint that, of the thousands of iPhone 4 customers on the network, few are returning the new Apple phone.
"Returns have been tiny", a Vodafone spokesperson confirmed when we asked them.
As for Orange, although the operator had no official answer to our question, our own sources suggest the situation is the same as Vodafone and O2 - in that it also hasn't had many returns of the "magical iPhone 4".
But what about the retailers? We spoke to the chaps behind Pocket-lint's mobile deal website, who in turn asked a number of affiliates on our behalf.
The response? Although none were willing to formally provide specific numbers, they were able to say that there haven't been significant numbers of returns.
As for Carphone Warehouse, they've also seen nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to returns:
"Trading have reported that there has not been an issue with the iPhone 4 and we aren't seeing many returns at all, customers seem satisfied to wait for the software upgrade", a spokesperson for Carphone Warehouse told Pocket-lint.
Apple are yet to reply, but rarely add more than the official statements.
The fact that people aren't returning the phone and, in most cases, are still queuing up to get one, suggests that people either aren't that bothered that the iPhone 4 has the potential to drop calls, or that they haven't experienced the issues found in the controlled tests carried out by various other parties.
Perhaps it's time for the media to get a grip.

Georgia's recent success against Florida has been a long time in coming. The Bulldogs had not beaten the Gators in back-to-back seasons in more than two decades, dating back to 1988-89. Florida has an 18-5 record over Georgia since 1990 so the rivalry has been mostly one-sided. But thanks to some recruiting success, Mark Richt has turned the annual showdown in Jacksonville, Fla., back into one of the most highly contested battles of the year.
And he did it with some ringers from the Sunshine State.
Quarterback Aaron Murray has struggled against the Gators but is 2-1 in his career against them. In his first win he completed four passes to tight end Orson Charles of Tampa, Fla. All-SEC kicker Blair Walsh, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., always said the Florida game was the biggest of the year and he scored 22 points against the Gators in his career. Keeping Murray upright this year was a freshman from Jacksonville, right tackle John Theus.
Just about every Bulldogs player who hails from Florida says that the Georgia-Florida rivalry is the biggest of the year. It makes sense, considering that when they return home for the holidays or spring break, they are sure to get an earful when Georgia loses. The pressure for top prospects to stay in-state is just at strong in Florida as it is in Georgia and those prospects that leave the borders are held up to special scrutiny. Thus, the Florida transplants take the game to heart.
For example, redshirt freshman Nathan Theus of Jacksonville, a long snapper at Georgia, tweeted after Georgia lost in the SEC championship game: "Proud to be a Dawg!!! This team never gives up. Our team. Our time. No regrets.... On a side note, I have yet to lose to UF." Even after his team came up five yards short of playing for a national title, the Florida rivalry is not far from the minds of Theus and his other teammates.
For its part, Florida has the top recruiting class in the nation with 10 verbally committed prospects in the ESPN 150 and four more in the ESPN 300. The Gators are one of the hottest teams in the nation, ranked No. 3 and headed to the Sugar Bowl under second-year coach Will Muschamp. Florida has weathered the turmoil of losing Urban Meyer and appears poised to contend for SEC and national titles for years to come. This upward trend has caught the eye of a number Peach State standouts -- the Gators have eight players from Georgia on the roster and are looking to add at least three more.
The on-field rivalry is mirrored on the recruiting trail as well. Ten of the Bulldogs' committed prospects were offered by Florida, while four of the Gators' committed prospects hold Georgia offers. At least six of the remaining targets for each school have offers from both.
Georgia's recruiting class is ranked 9th in the nation but many of its top targets have yet to decide. As it stands, Florida looks primed to reload and explode with its Class of 2013, coming in the heels of a 2012 class that was ranked 4th in the nation last year. The Bulldogs will need to close strong if they want to keep up with the Gators, but the prediction of an annual loss to the Gators is no longer warranted.
