In order to go with more classic look strapless gowns pleated with beautiful touch of jewel pleating is an excellent choice. Embellish your entire appearance with the elegant prom dresses that will add stunning appearance to your body type.
Prom dress for full and curvy body:
Bold and dark shaded Prom dress is the perfect choice if your body is bit bulky or curvy. Always remember, darker shades make your body look slimmer and slender. Do not go for the too short length prom dress; choose the one which is either below your knee or else just full length. Avoid the over emphasized patterns which has too many lines or prance, as this will make you look bit fluffy. That what you really don't want to be!! Choose the stylish but elegant prom which will really add stars to your beauty.
Prom dress for Tall or Slim body:
Shorter dresses for the tall body will really make you appear bell of the ball as this helps in reducing the facade of height. You can even choose the one with lots of patterns and ruffles as they will surely make you look charming.
Further if your body is slim, you don't need to be bashful from solid colors or patterns with heavy fabrics as this adds weight to your appearance. Rather than this you can even go for the one which gathers towards your hip portion.
Prom dress for petite body:
If your body structure is small and petite, avoid going full ankle length proms as this will make you look more engulf. You can choose bold shades like black, purple, red with plummeting neckline or backless pattern which will make you look hot and sexier.
Make your evening memorable by selecting the perfect fitted prom dress

Is there any way to stop this man?
That's very likely to be the question being asked after Atiamuri's Dion Picard swept all before him at the New Zealand Junior Motocross Championships near Blenheim at the weekend, winning his third national motocross crown.
Nobody had an answer to the 14-year-old Picard over the three days as he took his Suzuki RM125 to five straight wins, easily defending the 12-14 years' 125cc crown he also won last year.
Picard is no stranger to winning motocross races -- he won the 8-10 years' 85cc title in 2006 – but no campaign has been quite so comprehensive as the 1-1-1-1-1 score-line he achieved this season.
He didn't have the lead from the start of every race but was typically in front after just half a lap and, from there, he was never headed, putting in lap times that were 2-3 seconds quicker than his main rivals and stretching his advantage.
"I liked the track ... it was really fast and my Suzuki was probably the fastest bike there and the Bridgestone (tyres) were great too," said Picard, a year 10 pupil at John Paul College in Rotorua.
"It sounds like I won it easily but it wasn't really like that. Sure, I felt confident but I was very nervous at the start of the weekend. Last year was my first nationals on a 125cc bike and nobody knew what to expect of me, not even me. But this year, with the No.1 on my bike, the expectations were very high."
Picard now looks ahead to stepping up to the older age group when he turns 15 at the end of July and he's confident he can again put his Darryl August-sponsored RM125 on the podium in that class as well.
"But I'll be up against Kaukapakapa's Josh Jack (Suzuki) in the next age group, so that's not going to be easy."
Picard is meanwhile preparing to head across the Tasman to tackle the Australian Junior Motocross Championships in September.
"It'll be my first time over there and I'm really looking forward to that."
Simon Meade, Motorcycle Sales Manager

Slut fucks limp dick
Jayne had a gangbang earlier and fucked 9 guys. Everyone has gone home and it's my turn to fuck her. I pumped at least 6 loads into her loose cunt and still want to fuck her some more. I can barely get my dick hard at this point but that doesn't matter to Jayne. She will let anyone fuck her that wants to. Her cunt is so stretched out from fucking I know she can't feel my dick in her. So at the 3:25 mark she starts slipping in fingers so she can feel me fucking her. With four fingers in her cunt and my cock, you can hear all the leftover cum still in her squishing around.

Now that is a slut wife.
Looks hard enough for me....
Nice work man.
Guys worry too much about their hardon - or lack thereof.
Sooner or later most guys will discover - to their complete surprise - that they don't really need a hardon to get it off.
Thanks for the documenting this well kept secret...

OK Now
Released: Oct 2008
Label: Island Records
Fresh-faced songwriter Jon McLaughlin comes out of the gate with "Beating My Heart," a track that weaves his influences (the spacey synth ambiance of David Gray, the falsetto R&B strut of Maroon 5) into a confident single. The walloping choruses on McLaughlin's other slickly produced four-minute poppers stack up like a painfully catchy soundtrack to a nu-pop workout tape -- the "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" guitar riff makes it easy to imagine Jane Fonda's paralegal niece "rocking her body" along with "Dance Your Life Away." It closes with the suspiciously pitch-perfect doo-wop tune "We All Need Saving."

Macbook Pro, extreme fan RPMs
View Single Post
Member Since: Oct 01, 2009

Thanks for the replies.
@clayneal - i was using SMCFancontrol to make the mac speed the fans up -before- hardware hit temperatures of ~105 celcius. It happened often if i didnt use the program, and to keep the life time of the hardware longer, i used this program to avoid such high temperatures.
@bobtomay - i got my MPB back from repair about a week ago, they replaced 1 fan (i have no clue if there are more and if so how many), didnt cost anything and im considering getting apple care for longer guarantee..
If i understand your post correctly then you are saying that my 5000 SMCFancontrol setting would let the fans spin too slow sometimes, but thats not how the program works tho. It can only set the minimum fan RPM, the MPB is still able to increase the RPM to 5000+ if its sensors tells it to do so. However, i have not been using SMC since i got the computer back and it spins the fans up much faster than before. Could it be that MPBs come with settings for low sound levels at a sacrifice of higher temperatures (since most users probably dont use their MPs for applications such as wow..), and the apple technicians changed some settings to make it speed fans up faster when they noticed that i had SMC installed and wow icon on the desktop?
I dont know if that is a realistic thought tho, watching a movie uses to increase the temperature similar to wow. Many MBP users probably watch a movie on their laptop from time to time.
Anyways, id just want to update the thread for future reference with the info that my MBP now smoothly increases the fan speeds as the temperature raises after i had apple staff look at the computer and repaired the broken fan. It did not do this before, it stayed at around 1990RPMs until the temperature hit 97-107 degrees celcius, then it raised the RPMs quickly up to 4000-6000. Now the fan RPM follows temperature linearly starting to speed up at around 65
60 - 1990
65 - 2200
70 - 3000
70 - 4000
75 - 4750
80+ - 5000+
If you, like me, spend time on games or other temperature increasing activity and have the problem i had with the MBP not speeding up fans to avoid temperatures above 90 degrees i would advice you to take the computer to an apple technician.

Naples, Italy
My Rating
If you have difficulty walking then this is definitely the way to go and see the Amalfi coast. The towns were beautiful but very hard to walk thru on the cobblestones and the hills that you need to navigate. We spent time in Sorrento but not enough to see the city properly. Our driver did not speak good English so it was difficult to communicate but he did his very best to accommadate our requests, I highly recommend private tours if you want to have a more relaxing time than the ones on the cruise ships.
Venice, Italy
My Rating
The tour was very interesting but it did not allow for too much time to explore the islands we visited.
You were taken to specific shops for demonstrations and buying souveniers. I would have like to be able to experience more on my own with the guidance of the tour guide. If you have difficulty walking by the time you get to Toricello the boat dock is very far from the town, so we never did see it.
Venice, Italy
My Rating
Be prepared to walk a long way from the terminal to get the boat, once there, there is someone to help you get your luggage on board. It is a wonderful way to see Venice for the first time but if you get seasick this is not the way to go. The drop off point was fairly close to our hotel but dragging the luggage thru the streets was quite an effort. Get the Porter service whenver possible. If I ever go back to Venice I would definetly take the boat transfer again.

Skyline Stars 2005 Inductees into the Transfer Hall of Fame
Skyline College annually honors several outstanding former Skyline College transfer students who have gone on to achieve outstanding educational and career success.
May they continue to brightly shine as special lights of Skyline in the world and serve as an inspiration for many others. Thank you for being a part of this celebration of the power and importance of community colleges.
Congratulations to our Inaugural 2005 Inductees!
|Dennis Arreola
|James T. Lim
|Golda Gacutan
|Phyllis Lucas-Woods
|Michael Guingona
|Gabriel Molieri
|Pamela Hodel
Skyline Star Biographies
Dennis Arreola
- A.A. Liberal Arts, Skyline College, 1971
- B.A. Sociology, San Francisco State University, 1972
- M.A. Counseling, University of San Francisco, 1975
- M.A. Public Administration, University of San Francisco, 1975
Dennis Arreola was the first Student Body President of Skyline College! He was also the valedictorian of the first graduating class of Skyline College! Born in San Francisco, he attended Balboa High School. After graduation, he attempted to attend City College of San Francisco, but admissions had already closed. He was referred to Skyline College, which had just opened in 1969 and in Dennis' words, he "loved it". While at Skyline College, he along, with fellow inaugural inductees, Phyllis-Lucas Woods, Mark Simon, and other members of the Associated Students Governing Council, were instrumental in supporting tax override elections, which allowed the community colleges to remain open. At Skyline College, he also worked closely with James Wyatt, former President of Skyline College, and Mario Lombardi, one of the original counselors for the campus. Dennis went on to transfer to San Francisco State University, earning a B.A. in Sociology. He then attended the University of San Francisco, earning two Masters' degrees - one in Counseling and the other in Public Administration. Dennis then returned to Skyline College and served in the position of Financial Aid Officer for five years. At the age of thirty-one, he became the Dean of Admissions and Records, a position he held for over twenty years. To this day, he remains the youngest administrator ever hired in the San Mateo Community College District. Dennis and Lupe Arreola, who he met in the Admissions Office at Skyline College, will soon celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary. Together they have raised six children and have four grandchildren. Dennis, and Lupe, retired in 2001 and currently reside in Modesto, California. (top)
Golda Gacutan
- A.A. Paralegal Studies, Skyline College, 2000
- A.A. Liberal Arts, Skyline College, 2000
- B.A. Criminal Justice, San Francisco State University, 2002
- J.D. Golden Gate University, in progress
Golda Gacutan was born in the Philippines and came to the United States at the age of three. She attended El Camino High School but left early as she had become a teen-age mother. She later completed her high school education at Baden Continuation High School. Golda came to Skyline in 1999 as a welfare mother of three children. Though at first frightened, as she had been away from school for over ten years, Golda discovered she loved college. Though being pressured by welfare to gain immediate job skills, she convinced her worker to allow her to study and earn a Paralegal Certificate. With the help of financial aid, the Disabled Students Program and Services (DSPS), CalWorks, and Educational Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), Golda went on to earn two Associate degrees and maintain a 4.0 grade point average! Golda then went on to work in the Admissions Office at Skyline and continued her studies. She became a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society and was nominated for the "USA Academic Scholarship" sponsored by USA Today. She was then selected as a Centennial Scholar, and named "All USA Academic First Team member", as the top community college student in California, winning a full scholarship to the university of her choice.
While raising her three children, working in the Admissions Office, and pursuing her studies with excellence, Golda still finds time to volunteer in the community. She has worked with SITIKE Counseling Center in South San Francisco, which assists mothers who are substance abusers, and currently volunteers with the Homeless Advocacy Program. Now in Law School at Golden Gate University, she plans to work in the area of public interest law, which involves advocating for those who are disenfranchised. A wonderful coincidence is that Golda was an intern in the Law Office of fellow inductee, Michael Guingona! (top)
Michael Guingona
- A.A. Political Science, Skyline College, 1982
- B.A. History, University of California, Los Angeles, 1985
- J.D., University of San Francisco, 1989
Michael Guingona was born in San Francisco but grew up in Daly City. He attended Westmoor High School and came to Skyline College in 1980. He is a first-generation American, his parents having been born in the Philippines. While at Skyline he was one of the first athletes to ever play three sports - wrestling, cross-country, and track! The educational support he received at Skyline encouraged him to "reach for the stars" and after earning his A.A. in Political Science in 1982, he achieved his dream of transferring to UCLA. After receiving his B.A. in History at UCLA, he entered Law School at University of San Francisco where he earned his J.D. in 1989. While in Law School, Michael coached wrestling at Westmoor High School and also taught "Street Law" there.
Various factors such as his work as a Public Defender in San Francisco, his work with youth at Westmoor, his affiliation with the Filipino Bar Association and his work as chair of the Asian-American Recovery Service motivated him to get involved in politics. In 1993 he became the first Filipino elected to the Daly City City Council! One of his main goals was to make Daly City more reflective of its ethnic diversity. He established a sister city relationship with Quezon City in the Philippines and founded the Filipino-American festival which is still attended by thousands every June in Westlake, Daly City. In 1995, with a great base of support, Michael, at age 33, became the youngest mayor of Daly City! He has served as mayor three times and is currently serving as vice-mayor. A virtual inexhaustible fountain of energy, Michael has a thriving criminal law practice across from the Hall of Justice in San Francisco and has been chair of numerous boards including the San Mateo Transportation Authority.
Michael is extremely devoted to Filipino culture and was fortunate enough to receive his black belt in "Kombaton", a traditional form of Philippine martial arts, which he also teaches. He also engages in competitive Hawaiian outrigger canoe racing! He has a 5-year old son and will soon be traveling to the Philippines with a group of Filipino-American DJ's bringing "deephouse and progressive" music there as part of MEOW Productions which he founded with his brother, David. A member of the President's Council of Skyline College, Michael is also the star of a new cable TV program, "Citizen Pinoy", focusing on solving problems that Filipino immigrants face in the United States. Instead of an actor going into politics, Michael joked, he is "a politician going into acting!" (top)
Pamela Hodel
- A.S. Telecommunications, Skyline College, 1998
- Bachelors of Vocational Education (BVE), San Francisco State University, 2004
Pamela Hodel was born in Famingham, Massachusetts. She came to California in 1969 and for many years worked for the Army and Air Force, as well as in the corporate world. While working for Wells Fargo Bank she was encouraged by her manager to take telecommunications courses at Skyline College. She had never before attended college, found she loved attending Skyline College, and eventually earned an Associate of Science degree in Telecommunications. The coordinator of the program, Omer Thompson, encouraged her to go on and get a Bachelor's degree so she could teach in Skyline College's Telecommunications program. She went to see the Transfer Center Coordinator, Linda Rosa Corazon, and was advised to consider a program she had never heard of, the Bachelor of Vocational Education degree at San Francisco State University, which is designed for individuals with vocational education backgrounds. The program perfectly suited her needs and after earning her BVE degree, Pamela was in fact, offered a position as an instructor in the Telecommunications program at Skyline College. She currently is also taking courses towards Adult Education certification so she can teach in Adult schools and ROP programs. Pamela serves an inspiration and a role model in a program that is predominantly male. She is the mother of two sons who have been very supportive of her educational aspirations. Pamela also loves to travel, particularly to Southeast Asia and collects Ming ceramics. She greatly believes in community colleges, as well as lifelong learning, and is currently taking an Arabic language course at Skyline College. She will also be a presenter at the upcoming "Expanding Your Horizons" conference at Skyline College, which encourages girls and young women to consider careers in fields involving Mathematics, Science, and Technology.

James T. Lim
- A.S. Business Information Systems, Skyline College, 1987
- B.S. Hotel, Restaurant & Tourism Management, Golden Gate University, 1990
- MBA, Management, Golden Gate University, in progress
James T. Lim was born in the Philippines of Chinese ancestry. He came to Skyline College as an International student in 1985. He immediately felt "comfortable" and "welcome" at Skyline College and went on to earn an A.S. degree in Business Information Systems, where he was the recipient of the highest honors and the California Congress scholarship. From Skyline he proceeded to Golden Gate University in San Francisco where he received a B.S. in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management. Upon graduation, he was named Student of the Year and earned Magna cum Laude honors. He later attended classes at Cornell University as the American Hotel Foundation's Hanley Hotels Scholarship recipient, as well as the National Tour Foundation's Scholarship awardee. James has held positions as the Rooms Division Manager at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco, where he received a Manager of the Quarter Award in 1994, and was the General Manager of the Sheraton Four Points in Emeryville. He currently serves as the General Manager of Joie de Vivre's Maxwell Hotel in San Francisco. James has also taught part-time at Golden Gate University where he received the 1998 Golden Gate University School of Technology's Distinguished Teaching award. James currently resides in Dublin with his wife, Maria Carlota, an elementary school teacher. They have two daughters and one son. James will soon complete his MBA in Management at Golden Gate University. A great believer in giving back to his community, James serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Philippine International Aid, a non-profit organization that supports projects in the Philippines, especially those benefiting disadvantaged children.

Phyllis Lucas-Woods
- A.A. Liberal Arts, Skyline College, 1971
- B.A. English, San Francisco State University, 1973
- M.A. English Literature, SFSU, 1975
Phyllis Lucas-Woods is a native San Franciscan and is a first generation college student. She attended Lowell High School and planned to attend a historically black university after graduation. However, she graduated high school mid-year and her mother wanted her to "keep busy" for a semester, so took her to see the "new" college - Skyline - which had just opened. Phyllis enjoyed the small, comfortable environment Skyline College offered and decided to stay. She was part of Skyline College's first graduating class and even sang at Skyline College's first graduation ceremony! In the early 1970's, she also was a member of the "49er Nuggets", a vocal singing group that was the cheerleading squad for the San Francisco 49ers football team.
After transferring to San Francisco State University and earning her Bachelor's and Master's degrees, she decided to come back and work at Skyline where she became an English instructor for the next 15 years. Phyllis eventually became the Director of the The Learning Center, which she helped create! In 1992 Phyllis became the Dean of Language Arts and Learning Resources at Skyline College. In 2000 she was invited to go to Cañada College where she became Dean of the innovative University Center and Academic Support Services. She currently holds the position of Interim Vice-President of Student Services at Cañada. She has worked for the San Mateo Community College District for over 30 years! In addition to her work at both colleges, Phyllis has been a member of the Board of Directors for the Association of California Community College Administrators and the Aim High Program in San Francisco, a non-profit educational program for middle school students. However, her greatest joy is being the proud mother of her son, Brian, and the wife of James Woods, a federal bank regulator for the U.S. Department of the Treasury. (top)
Gabriel Molieri
- A.A. Liberal Arts, Skyline College, 2000
- B.A. Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, 2002
- M.A. International Comparative Education, Stanford University, 2003
- Ph.D. Educational Foundations, University of Hawaii at Manoa, in progress
Gabriel was born in Argentina and emigrated to San Francisco in the late 1960's. As many newcomers did at the time, he put aside his educational plans in order not to burden his family's future. His choice of a vocational course led him to a 20-year career as a surgical assistant. After raising his son as a single parent, Gabriel's inquisitive mind began a serious exploration of philosophy and religion, a path that led to his ordination as a Buddhist monk in the Thai Tervada tradition. Returning to California to care for his mother after his father's death, Gabriel re-engaged his long-postponed educational plans at Skyline College. He earned an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts in 2000 and, taking full advantage of the opportunities and resources offered by the Skyline College Transfer Opportunity Center, he proceeded to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology at University of California, Berkeley in 2002, with High Honors, under the auspices of the Skyline College Transfer Scholarship Fund, UCB's Golden Bear Scholarship, The George Miller Transfer Scholarship, The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and the Gates Millennium Foundation Scholarship.
The latter two sources of support allowed Gabriel to continue on his academic path and to earn an M.A. in International Comparative Education at Stanford University in 2003. Thanks to the Gates Millennium Scholarship, Gabriel is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Educational Foundations at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, focusing on cultural shifts generated in response to educational reform efforts in developing countries, particularly Thailand.
Often stating, "You never leave a place you love," Gabriel worked at Skyline College in a number of staff and faculty positions until 2004. He worked in the Computer Lab, taught Cultural Anthropology during the summer, assisted faculty members in curriculum planning, and mentored and tutored several students who have gone on to pursue their own transfer opportunities.
Gabriel is looking forward to continuing his life of inquiry and service through education in Hawaii and hopes to be able to return to the Bay Area to continue his contribution to his San Mateo Community College District "family". (top)

ARSENAL ISLAND, Illinois – A World War II hero was honored during a special ceremony at the Rock Island Arsenal. And he thinks more veterans should get the same treatment he got.
Veteran Don Kent was honored in front of his friends and family with a display case highlighting his achievements in the Army.
Kent is one of several veterans nationwide who will be honored in "The Shadowbox Project".
His medals, ribbons, patches, and pictures from his military career were artfully put together in a display case known as a shadowbox.
"There should be a lot of people that would be interested in having a history like this for their family, so I'm proud to have this," said Kent after the ceremony.
"The Shadowbox Project" was started by another Davenport veteran. It began as a way to honor a family member who served in World War II.

This spring, Scarlett Johansson is putting out a record of Tom Waits covers. That?s right: You might get to hear The Nanny Diaries star singing ?Jockey Full of Bourbon.? OK, haters, before you invoke the ill-conceived albums of such non-singers as Eddie Murphy – or, perhaps more appropriately, ill-conceived Tom Waits covers, including Rod Stewart?s execrable version of ?Downtown Train? – consider Johansson?s voice. She?s not all Vuitton ads and lounging around naked on the cover of Vanity Fair, you know. The 22-year-old?s husky pipes lend her a maturity that?s beyond her years. But does she have the skid-row gravitas to pull this off?
And, tell everyone, which Waits songs would you like to hear her cover?

Dear Scott: Why do hairstyle books have such crazy pictures in them? I try to find a picture to take to my hair stylist, and they all look so bizarre that I can't ever find one to bring. I know hair stylists hate when customers bring in pictures, but it's the only way I can think of to tell someone what I want. Why don't salons have books with pictures of things that people can actually wear?
Answer: You must be referring to the over-the-counter magazines that come out every month or seasonally. Don't disregard these publications completely.
There is a reason why there are so many photos of hair that seem to defy gravity and look ridiculous. It is an attempt to supply the public with a publication of a thousand new hairstyles every month. Even hardback books designed especially for salons are full of insanity.
There are wearable looks hidden among the photos of hair that should only be worn by a cartoon character.
The impression that hairdressers don't like photos is a myth. A picture is worth a thousand words. Explaining details is a snap with a photo in hand.
Try using these simple guidelines to help you find the right photo for the perfect fit:
• Use a celebrity in a movie as your guide: Getting the look you want is easy to choose when you see it in action. Scarlett Johansson in the popular movie "The Avengers" is a good example of an up-to-date textured bob with a long bang. Be sure to bring in a photo so everyone is on the same page. Celebrities change their hairstyles depending on the roles they play.
• Look for hair with the same thickness as your own: People with fine hair are attracted to photos of thick hair because it's what they wish they had. Those with thick curly hair tend to pick photos of thin straight hair. We always want what we don't have. Try to be realistic.
• Use separate photos for cut and color: Trying to find both cut and color in one photo will turn a fun project into a difficult scavenger hunt. Your stylist can incorporate the two.
• Plan ahead: Don't wait until you are in the salon to make your photo decisions. Even if you are technology compromised, photos are available in all magazines. You don't have to pick a hairstyle from a hairdo magazine.
• Find photos of exactly what you want: Bringing in multiple photos of haircuts is counterproductive. Taking the bangs from one, the sides from another and the backside of yet another is confusing to say the least. All you end up with is a Frankenstyle.

If you want to avoid a nuclear explosion, stay away from the World Trade Center in Pasay City on Sunday, July 29.
But why would you? Why would you miss the Voldemort of thrash metal, the Sauron of symphonic destruction in a show that took decades to make it to Manila?
Yes, boys and girls, thrash metal legend Megadeth is set to unleash a nearly two-hour wall of chugging guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, hyperspeed drumming and two decades-worth of heavy metal classics for the heavy metal Filipino faithful.
Pioneers of thrash metal
Formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, California by guitarist/chief songwriter Dave Mustaine, Megadeth is considered one of the pioneering bands of the American thrash metal, the outcome of the mashup of British heavy metal and hardcore punk.
Together with other bands like Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, Megadeth created and popularized the genre and went on to influence countless other bands in its wake.
With technical virtuosity and aggression, Megadeth is said to be the most proficient of 'em all—writing songs characterized oftentimes by fast-paced rhythms, dizzying tempo shifts and distinctively intricate lead guitar playing that blurred the lines between rock, metal and even jazz.
30 million sold worldwide
With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, 13 studio albums, nearly 30 hit singles, 32 music videos and 10 Grammy Award nominations under its belt, Megadeth promises a Manila show that'll blow the roof off the concert venue.
Tickets are available at at SM Tickets for 4,710 pesos and 2,930 pesos. To get a discount of 1000 pesos, present 10 Colt45 crowns at SM Tickets in SM North EDSA, SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia. Free tickets will be given away to JB Music buyers of a Dean and/or a Jackson Guitar when they bring their receipt to JB Music's main office at 1906-1909 Prestige Tower, Emerald Avenue, Ortigas, Pasig City. BDO credit card holders can also avail of a 3-month 0% interest if they buy their tickets using their BDO credit card.
Megadeth: Live in Manila happens on Sunday, July 29, at World Trade Center Hall D in Pasay City.
TOKYO (AP) — Radiation-breathing Godzilla destroyed so many cities and fought so many monsters, the original Japanese film series outgrew its budget and audience. So the filmmaker working on the revival will go back to the basics while still looking to surprise. …

5.0 out of 5 stars Finest Season of Angel,
Lisa Cole (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Season 5 of Angel has a more subtle story arc than Season 4 and has more stand alone episodes. This season is full of gems like A Hole in the World/Shells, Damage, Time Bomb and Not Fade Away. I think there's a good mix of humour and poignancy this season.
The relationship between Angel and Spike is fascinating to watch. The pair have such history together and each reminds the other of their time as soulless vampires. They eventually get over their petty jealousies and anger and become, dare I say, friends and partners.
5.0 out of 5 stars "You're A Bloody Puppet!"-Spike,
Tommy Skylar (The Great White North) - See all my reviews
Angel's fifth and unfortunatly last season was aired in 2003-2004 and was announced to be cancelled before the season's end.It was a questionnable decision as the show was one of WB's highest rated that season yet they decided to cancel it for a series that no one cares for anymore,funny isn't it?That decision haunts them even today.Season five of Angel was arguably the best depending of your opinion but it still manage to be very interresting and captivating.Partly due to the arrival of Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer wich made this season the funniest of Angel and comedy had a great place in the first half of the season.Its also in this last season that Angel celebrates its 100th episode in wich Cordelia appears for the last time in the series.There is also the brilliant puppet episode "Smile Time" included on this.This season also had many Buffy fans watching the show since the show ended after season 7.
The season starts with the Angel Investigations team moving in the Wolfram and Hart L.A. office after being given control of it by the senior partners of the company.That is one of the misteries that season five holds.Also Angel receves a package that contains Spike in it!Spike at first doesn't have ,instead is like a ghost as he doesn't feel anything by he is there.His body starts to fade away and he just really added humor to the show and he was a great additon and by doing that it attracted Buffy watchers as well to in conclusion become one of Angel's most entertaining seasons.There is also the mystery of Illyria who will ocupy the boody of Fred latter on this season.This season also has Angel litterally making a deal with the devil and there is an episode where he becomes evil.As one could have expected not everyone of the gang will survive and that makes some intense drama and especially since I and fans really liked that character.After Cordelia being in a coma in season 4(Charisma Charpenter who played her was pregnant)some fans tought the show wasn't going to survive without her.But with the great addition off Spike,it did and we can live with the fact Cordelia ain't around because he's a great character.Its also to note that Wesley Windam Prince(Alexis Denisof)was getting unleashed in recent seasons and we discovered that he is more than a nerdy looking guy.In fact during this season he goes from being prey to predator!The first half of the season was wonderfull and they were some of my favourite and some of the best moments of the series too.The second part of the season is more of story ark with Illyria and Fred with many other things that the team has to deal with,its a noticably slower moment in the season.It gets better in the last couple of episodes and the final episode despite some minor complaints made by fans was pretty good and we felt the pressure the crew had and it ended nicely with Angel saying "Lets Get To Work" to the gang(as there was an army of villains against them)and then saying "Well personnally i kinda wanna slay the dragon" ending on a humorous touch,and there is enough emotion and action to making anyone's heart beat real fast.
I really enjoyed watching the team work and issues between Angel and Spike.Also i tought they did a great job of doing a season that wasn't confusing like season four was,it was like some maze and all.The WB themselves tought that as they said that they would renew Angel's contract for another year during season four at the condition that those complicated plots as season four wouldn't be too much of a big presence instead wanting the show to return to its original monster-of-the-week format as in the first season.They did that in season 5 and it worked and immediatly worked with viewers of the show and its ratings just exploded,Spike being a reason why.Some other characters got some more spotlight thi season like Fred who became very important by the end of the season and Harmony who took a big place and was hilarious as Angel's secretary.New character Nina,the werewolf was interresting but was only present in a couple of great episodes and i tought she there was a great story going with her.
Its too bad that the show got cancelled then when it was doing so great and it became even more interresting with Spike in it and if there would have been a sixth season it would have been very good as well.Even Spike couldn't save the series from being cancelled.There was still potential and stories to be told about Angel,the vampire with a soul,for instance we would probably have seen Fred returning and Willow from Buffy would have made a special appearance by making her come back with her wizard skills along with another character.No one expected the show would be cancelled at that time and neither did i,still Joss Whedon gave us 144 episodes of Buffy and 110 of Angel.This closed the Buffyverse and Whedon stopped doing any other shows and closed his company Mutant Ennemy Inc.A great ending season of a great series and it provided great episodes such as "Smile Time" and "Lineage" were Wesley faces his father wich were excellent nad were really entertaining.I highly recommend it to fans of the show of the Buffyverse.

This is a slim set, which matches the rest of the series I have and it arrived in perfect condition and in a very timely manner. Couldn't ask for better!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great spinoff!,
Heather A. Nicholson (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) - See all my reviews
Great spin off series, great price. For all those more traditional vampire fans this is definitely a series to watch. You would need to watch Buffy before you would understand this spin off series. As far as packaging it is in the slim dvd case as shown.
5.0 out of 5 stars Angel,
Diane (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
I bought this as a gift to a friend who is a GREAT fan of the serie. I followed the 2 first seasons when they were televised and I liked the show but could miss episodes and not fret about. Not the case for my friend now she's into Once Upon a Time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Angel...how far he's come!,
I loved Angel in the tv series Buffy and love him more as the vigilante crime fighter he is on his own.
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars,
Great service, great products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great.,
Katherine "Kathy" (Ontario) - See all my reviews
I began watching Angel regularily in the fifth season, since Buffy had ended the previous year. I thought Angel would be satisfy my Buffy-withdrawals. Unfortunately, this was not so at all times. The addition of Spike to the series was a HUGE help (I love Spike), but even from the beginning of the season, one could tell that it was dying. There are highlights in the season, some episodes/scenes were laugh-out-loud funny, dramatic (the Cordelia episode...that was heartbreaking), etc, but generally, the show was fairly bland. Another annoying thing was the number of times they had "Buffy"--they couldn't get Sarah Michelle Gellar, so they used a faceless blonde and old Buffy sound clips. Jeeze! If you can't get Gellar, just don't write Buffy into the scene. That was ANNOYING. But still, for Angel lovers, I'd suppose this DVD set would be worth it, if not just for closure.

Right the problem is that my ibook (g4 mac OSX 10.4) will not start, when I turn it on, it simply shows the apple loading screen, then shows the blue "Starting MAC OSX" screen with the blue progress bar and when the progress bar fills it just stays on that screen for hours! I want to try and restart it by using the start up discs BUT i can't seem to push the disc in - so there must aleady be a cd/dvd in the drive. I have tried pressing eject to no avail....does anyone know of any other way to get the disc out as there is no way I can get the start up discs in otherwise?
Or does anyone know of another way to fix this?
Thank you!

Try reseting your PRAM.
To do this: Press "P" & "R" + Power Button
Then if that doesn't work, get a paper clip and undo it. With the tip, put it into the disc drive and slide it across til' it hits another (inside) and press in. Reminder: don't push "too hard" there are other components of the disc drive you can mess up by pressing to hard on the wrong thing. This should release the disc in the drive.
If you need more help, PM me...
Good LUCK!

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Torii Hunter homered on the first pitch of the ninth inning to break a tie and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 8-6 on Monday to open a three-game series.
Hunter's shot to left-center came on a slider from Casey Fien (5-6), who gave up a homer to Miguel Cabrera on a curveball two pitches later.
"Those guys never give up over there," said Hunter. "We came through in the end."
The blasts came after the Twins had tied the score with two runs in the bottom of the eighth.
"I knew they were going to be aggressive," Fien said.
The AL Central-leading Tigers were coming off a three-game sweep of Cleveland over the weekend and have won seven of eight. They remained 1 1/2 games up on the Royals, who beat the White Sox in the ninth inning Monday night.
Kyle Ryan (2-0) induced a double play from Eduardo Nunez to end the eighth inning after Minnesota tied the game. Ryan played stopper after the bullpen coughed up a 6-4 lead for Max Scherzer, who went seven innings.
Joba Chamberlain walked the first two batters, Phil Coke surrendered a two-run single to Joe Mauer and Al Alburquerque gave up a single.
Making his second start of the season, regular reliever Anthony Swarzak gave up six runs and 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Twins, who have lost 10 of their 14 games in September.
Oswaldo Arcia homered for Minnesota and Mauer drove in four runs.
The Tigers scored two runs with a two-out rally in the first inning. Cabrera doubled and scored on a ground-rule double by Victor Martinez, who came home on J.D. Martinez's single.
Detroit tacked on three runs in the fourth on Bryan Holaday's RBI double and Andrew Romine's two-run single.
The Twins didn't have a baserunner until Danny Santana's leadoff single in the bottom of the fourth. Swarzak came out with the bases loaded in the fifth and A.J. Achter walked the first batter he faced to force in a run.
Arcia homered to right-center field in the bottom of the fifth and the Twins scored three times in the sixth inning to pull within 6-4. Two runners were in scoring position after Scherzer threw a wild pitch and both scored on Mauer's single. Trevor Plouffe added a sacrifice fly to make it a two-run game.
It was Hunter's 16th homer of the season and Cabrera's 23rd ... Arcia hit his
18th homer of the season ... The Twins opened a nine-game homestand ... The
Tigers started a six-game road trip that will end with three in a row against
the Royals.

NEW YORK (AVAFIN) -- Trading of Staples options resulted in establishing a new 90-day call volume record, where 3,009 call
contracts exchanged hands between the buyers and the sellers. A total of 10,959 put and 3,009

Investors use options to manage risk and to speculate on price changes. Options can provide
significant leverage if the stock moves in the right direction but aslo end up worthless if it
Staples is the world's leading office products company, with $25 billion in sales and more than 2,000 stores in 25 countries. The company represents an estimated 10% of the global office products market, larger than direct competitors OfficeMax and Office Depot combined. North American delivery is the largest segment, followed by North American retail, and international operations. Staples' growing e-commerce business ($10 billion in 2010) has garnered it the number-two spot in online retailers, behind Amazon. Staples' international results have yielded poor returns on capital. However, management has signaled that all options are now on the table, so there is upside potential if management can wind down unproductive international locations and either return that capital to shareholders or reinvest the capital into higher-return ventures.
Additionaly, With approximately $25 billion in annual sales, Staples is the predominant office supplier and benefits from significant scale advantages over its most direct peers.

Etta James Suffering From Leukemia, Dementia
Artis Mills, her husband of 41 years, wants control of the money, but son Donto James is asking the court to assign the duty to a third party, "to avoid present and future family conflict and discrepancies."
James has not performed on stage since early 2010 and caused a stir in 2009 when she went public with her displeasure that she wasn't chosen to sing at President Barack Obama's inauguration. Beyonce Knowles, who portrayed James in a 2008 film, sang 'At Last' instead.
The singer's doctor declared in court documents that James has dementia, as well as an organic brain syndrome, and is currently receiving treatment for leukemia. Dr. Elaine James, no relation, said that James can no longer sign her name or feed and dress herself, but does recognize her husband and children.
She receives round-the-clock care at her home in Riverside, Calif.
In the documents, Mills stated that the primary reason he wants control of the funds is to fulfill his wife's wish not to live her final days in a hospital.
According to Mills, James said that "if she ever became disabled, she did not wish to be placed in an institutional nursing facility as long as they had the money to keep her at home."
The next hearing on the matter is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 14.
Mills filed for divorce from James in 2008 but backed out a few months later.
James is a legendary soul, blues and rock singer whose 1960s-era hits include 'Tell Mama,' 'All I Can Do Was Cry' and of course her signature song, 'At Last.' Listen to the Timeless Tune:

Sad news about Miss James. It is such a shame that her husband and son are fighting over her money. Money is surely evil in situations like this. They should be concerned about Miss James firstly and forget everything else. Money money money!!! Damn.

My grandmother has dementia. I wonder, and I know this is a leap, if the fact that black women put chemicals on their heads (monthly) that would melt an aluminum can could contribute to the high rates of mental illness (unchecked) and degenerative mental health disorders. I know there's a blood/brain barrier but still...
Sorry to hear she's sick.

You might have a point there...However, I don't perm my hair at all but I do color my hair every 3-4 months. I think chemicals play a huge part in the health of women...We need to really think about that and just thank God for what he gave us.

Very sad to hear this news. etta has given us years of music that will never be forgotten. Mrs James thank you as a fan and thank you as just a person who respects you.
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy riverdew149
Very sad to hear this. What a great talent. Last I had heard anything about her is when she was upset by the snub of the Obama Administration for having Beyonce sing her song "At Last" at the inaugueral ball. Shouldn't have happened. Love Beyonce - but he could have had her sing something else.
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy Mary
I agree with you 100 per cent. Maybe the President being so young, didn't know who the original singer was.

Sounds as though something/someone is amiss. Consider...who would prefer departing from a hospital/room with all it's mayham opposed to the peace and serenity of your own home. Makes for a more peaceful journey. Curiously, 41yrs creats wanderlust: the desire/lust to wander. Perhaps the hubbie is ready to move on before aceptable...nothing new for this gender!!!!!!!!!!! The son must suspect something unpleasent. I side with the son.
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy Dee
Yes...That was her song and Beyonce should have sung something else...It was very hurtful to Etta James I am sure because she made that song famous...
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy Dan
Beyonce was performing the song as a tribute to Etta James. Nothing wrong with that!
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy fifiwereking
Gee, Dan, I guess Miss James and I were tweeting during the inaugural ball and missed the part where Beyonce said she was singing "At Last" in tribute to Etta James, NOT the President and First Lady.
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy Dan
So sad to lose this great blues artist.
- Thursday 13 JanuaryBy Joe
This really saddened my day. Etta James & KoKo Taylor are the two true female blues legends IMO. Yes, Big Mama Thornton is the third female blues legend (and Janis was the later version of their soul & fire). I had the pleasure to see KoKo Taylor live and I have listened to Etta's stuff for years and years. I will truly miss her when she goes off to that great bluesfest in the sky. Really sorry to see her ill.

Dee; I agree with you - They could have at least asked Etta to sing her song; If she couldnt, then Beyonce sing it as a tribute to her, cant blame her for being angry; this could have been the cherry on top of her career and Beyonce used her song for herself- She could have shared the moment with Etta

Ratings & Reviews
Tom Tibbles was very helpful in showing us a property we were interested in. He knew the area and recent history of sales. Very courteous and accommodating. Would ask for Tom in the future when the need arises.
"I've never met a realtor I didn't like; Carol is the best, head of the pack. Brilliant and stunningly beautiful with a dynamic personality to compliment her skills at recognizing commercial or residential property & homes in western Montana to suit our personal needs & budget. She helped us locate and purchase the home of our dreams and will list our lakeshore home as well. Energetic, confident, she's at the top of her game. She's fun to party with and her jokes crack me up!"
Carol is very professional. She worked hard and did an excellent job. She knew how to show my house. Carol has had a lot of experience and I highly recommend her. The pictures she took of my home were wonderful and portrayed it at its best.
Carol was a wonderful agent to encounter! Excellent information, RETURNS YOUR CALLS, and a pleasure to do business with.... She is my go to gal for real estate!
I have bought a house and land from Carol and find her to be so efficient and helpful that I won't go to any other realtor for my needs. She rocks!

Team reviews
I have to say they were a blessing. Everytime I called them they either answered the phone or called me right back. This was my first time ever purchasing A home so I had no clue of what to do . They made The process as smooth as they could. And no matter How many questions I had they were so patient and understanding And knowledgeable. So would I recommend them? Hell Yeah!
Although my wife and I never ended up buying a home David was a great agent. He took us to as many homes as we could find and wanted to see. He clearly knew his stuff. He has the area we looked at down to a science and had research done for any house we went to look at.
I'd recommend him to anyone!
I have had the pleasure of using David as our realtor this Fall. He is professional and knowledgable. I was especially impressed with him because, unlike other realtors we have used in the past, he listened to what we actually want and never tried to show us something that was either out of our desired price range or a house that had anything we did not want. He was always receptive to our ideas and willing to work all hours to help accommodate our busy schedules. I will continue to use his services in the future and would recommend him to anyone wanting a great realtor.
Howard and David Friedman were key in helping us to discover our dream home. They were patient through our indecisive periods, and encouraging when we decided to commit. Their online method of making offers proved to be simple and fast. Being able to make multiple offers on homes allowed us the flexibility we needed in such a trying market. Thank you to both Howard and David Friedman and all they did to help us in making the biggest decision of our lives!
David is a very bright Real Estate Agent. He is resourceful and is creative in coming up with ways to help his clients get in their dream house. He is patient and is a great listener. He makes you feel like he is in your corner. He is ethical and handles himself very professional. I am very satisfied with his help and expertise.
David and Howard Friedman helped me find a great house in an understurated, scarce market dominated by cash investors. They were extremely professional in all their undertakings and were always willing to show me a house at moments notice. They did their homework, bringing to me houses and other opportunities that matched my interest. David is a young, up-and-coming agent who will continue to succeed in this competitive market.
We spent almost a year looking for home and he was always willing to help. We were really specific on what we wanted. He showed us great homes but we kept searching until we found what we really wanted. He was really helpful when it came to explaining everything I signed. He was very knowledgeable and ithere was something he wasn't sure abbout he would research it and then explain it to us. We had two agents before him, Friedman was the one we had the longest and ultimately gave us goodadvice and didn't let us settle on something we didn't love, through the frustration of home searching for such a long time. We got a dream home to start our family soon and would reccomend him to anybody we know who is in the market to buy a home.
Howard Friedman listed and sold my house In just a few weeks and got top $$ for the house I think he is the best agent to do business with in San Bernardino Country
I have utilized Mr. Friedman's services for the purchase of various investment properties. His knowledge and experience are second to none. He always answers his phone and his integrity is impecable. His knowledge as a CPA was also very useful in helping me analyze investment opportunities. Weather you are looking to buy or sell a property, you won't go wrong with Howard Friedman.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- When ADICA convenes in February, there will be two new faces at the table after the Albany City Commission voted Monday to replace the spots vacated by Chairman Jane Willson and Lajuana Woods.
Local attorney Robert Kraselsky and Albany Community Together CEO Thelma Johnson were appointed by the commission to serve a two-year tour on ADICA.
Incumbent Commissioner Elvis Muldrow was also selected by the commission to return to his seat at the table of the Albany-Dougherty Inner City Authority.
Kraselsky said that he was thankful for the appointment and that he's ready to "think outside the box," to get downtown fully developed.
"I'm pleased with the appointment and am looking for forward to serving," he said. "I don't have a specific agenda, I view the authority as receiving requests for financial support. I anticipate that we we'll receive those requests and I intend to look very, very, carefully to make sure we have binding contracts, in writing, with anyone we do business with."
"It will not be business as usual or business as it has been, on that board," he said.
Calls attempting to reach Johnson were unsuccessful Tuesday.
A fourth board position, vacated by longtime board member James Griffin, will be chosen by the remaining board members of ADICA.
Two others, David Prisant and Aaron Johnson, were also nominated, but failed to obtain enough votes to earn a seat on the board.
The city commission also voted Monday night to reappoint two existing members of the Albany Water, Gas & Light Commission.
WG&L Commissioner JoAnn Pope will return to the board for another two-year term as will state Representative Carol Fullerton, D-Albany, who was voted in over the "nay" votes of Commissioner Tommie Postell and Albany Mayor and WG&L Board Chairman Willie Adams.
Adams said Tuesday that his vote against Fullerton wasn't personal, saying instead that he believes her position as a state representative keeps her away from the board for three months each year and that the board should be more diverse by having Jay Kimbro, who was nominated for the position by Bob Langstaff, at the table.
"Personally, I believe that we need someone who is able to be there for all of the sessions and Mrs. Fullerton, with her position in the legislature, will be in Atlanta for three months," Adams said. "I don't have anything personal against Carol, we're all grown people here."
Last year, a push was made to remove Fullerton from the board.
Publicly, officials said that it was because her absences while she was in Atlanta were unexcused. Privately, rumors circulated that kicking her off the board was a reprisal for joining with state Rep. Ed Rynders, R-Leesburg, to push a bill calling for the consolidation of Albany and Dougherty County through the Georgia House.
Adams discounted the chatter, but Postell continued to refer to Fullerton and Rynders' efforts as "clandestine," right up until the city voted to send a consolidated charter proposal up to Atlanta for consideration.

Sad. In the obit areas, newspapers regularly advise people to have housesitters.
The War on Drugs has been a complete and utter failure. We spend billions on prisons but little on treatment. Even conservative governors are beginning to see the light in fixing these priorities.
When folks here mention legalization of drugs, they are actually speaking about decriminalization of drugs. In other words, you get TREATMENT instead of incarceration and having your entire life affected.
And for godsakes, will you people please stop saying that pot is a gateway drug? Countless research (you know, science) has stated otherwise. I know scads of folks who have been smoking pot for years--professionals, blue collar people, seniors, etc--who aren't running around looking for their latest hit of angel dust.
Oh, and the number 1 problem drug in the U.S.? Alcohol. We not only legalize it, we promote it, we glamorize it, we encourage it and the damned government sells it!
Corbett failed to protect children in this instance but also miserably failed to protect them before. He has serially failed when it comes to the children of Milton Hershey School. An investigation was NEVER INITIATED on the reasons why the child sexual abuse investigation was inexplicably stopped by both the school and the local police department.
Corbett was repeatedly requested to investigated these allegations--as Attorney General--, among many others affecting the children of Milton Hershey School, and failed to do so.
Deviant behavior? Laughable. Seems to me, in the year 2012, the alternative lifestyle is one in which you try to revert back to the 1950's in which your homosexuality was hidden... errr, I meant, non-existent.
The VAST majority of sightings can be explained as various forms of natural and other phenomena, while others simply cannot.
Below is a video of a news conference conducted at the National Press Club in DC by an organization known as The Disclosure Project based in suburban Virginia.
This organization has gathered a large number of ex high ranking Pentagon, government and military-industrial officials including air traffic controllers, ex secret operations officers, commercial pilots, numerous military defense specialists with top secret clearances, people who had access to very sensitive documents, lieutenants, ex commanders in the U.S. Air Force--even astronauts--all going before the National Press Club to discuss what their experiences have been regarding UFO's.
Several of these witnesses appeared on the Larry King Live Show multiple times. One witness was a military aide to President Eisenhower and was eventually promoted to Adjutant General of the Vermont National Guard. All are willing to go before congress to testify under oath. The video is lengthy but quite interesting.
A wonderful, 90 year old veteran friend of mine got one of these horrible chain emails. He's smart enough not to believe most of this crap. The first thing he did was call me to check it out for him. Unfortunately, the senders of those emails pray on the patriotism and, yes, sometimes the ignorance and fear of older folks. For shame!
This is also the same AG's office that looked the other way at itself, as the AG did the very same thing--used employees and resources to campaign.
Please know your facts. 56,000 manufacturing plants in the U.S. over the past ten years have been shut down because of currency manipulation by the Chinese which Congress has not the balls to do anything about.
Additionally, productivity and automation has had a major effect on job loss in the past 20 or so years.
In the past several years, there have been several major studies of various construction projects in the Midwest which have shown that there was no increase in the cost of those projects due to prevailing wage laws.
p.s. does the Borough of Palmyra contribute? Do they provide the space?
I'm a bit confused. Why is the library, which is a fine organization, running a youth recreation program? Why is not the Palmyra Area Recreation and Parks Commission, which is perfectly suited for this, operating the program? Does anyone know?
I will say that the new little stadium or whatever it's called did seem like a bit much considering they have free use of the orphan trust owned stadium.
This has nothing to do with greed. Did you not read the article? Are you not reading these posts?
Now, do us all a favor and go here: http://mshersheyfoundation.org/about/agreement.asp and become educated about what the Agreement of Trust requires of the trustees of the M. S. Hershey Foundation. They clearly are not fulfilling Mr. Hershey's wishes.
Derry Township is a failed public school? Sorry, but what exactly are you smoking? I refer to JoleenWalker's comments. Among the various reasons real estate values are so high here in Derry Township is because of the fine schools.
The unfunded teacher pension crisis began largely in 2003 via legislative meddling and that rooster has come home to roost and it's not going to be pretty.
To somehow equate what's going on with Derry Township schools and the Foundation with the situation in Wisconsin borders on the absurd. Besides, exit polls show that 17% of those who voted for Walker will be voting for Obama in the Fall. The recall results were all about people not being excited about recalls, even though the money was 7 to 1 due to our new system of being able to purchase elections.
Keep in mind that the School District did in fact approach the Foundation in a very civil way. My understanding is that they arranged a meeting with a fancy PowerPoint presentation prepared providing the District's ideas to the Foundation and they they were shut down and the meeting abruptly ended.
Two very good ideas AND would come under, I believe, Mr. Hershey's intent, NOT attractions for mostly tourists. His intent with the Foundation has been bastardized and that's not to take away from the very nice jobs that they have done with the gardens, museum and theater.
Numerous studies (i.e. research) have shown that prevailing wage laws do not significantly raise the cost of construction projects.

Corporate Welfare = GOOD, Feeding Children Welfare = BAD
Will you PLEASE stop asking for facts?
Granted, this lawsuit was most likely doomed, as Distcoach pointed out, but for perhaps reasons different than may appear to others. Politically, this will never fly, especially by the politically connected powers-that-be in Dauphin County, of which Hoover is closely connected.
For this reason, the School District never had a chance in Hades of getting a fair hearing at the County court level. They will have a better chance at appeal at the Commonwealth Court level but would then fail at the very politically-connected, corrupt State Supreme Court.
Calling this a greedy grab puts one squarely on the side of the woefully misinformed.
Here's our puzzle:
- You have two different trusts:
- Trust # 1 specifically mentions Derry Township School District by name as beneficiary
- Trust # 2 says that it should benefit
(a) "one or more educational institutions in Derry Township" and/or
(b) "...the PUBLIC SCHOOLS of Derry Township..." and/or
(c) "...The vocational, cultural or professional education of any resident of Derry Township, Pennsylvania."
So, yea, one can say the Hershey Gardens are educational i.e. Butterfly House and many of their other very good programs and The Hershey Story could fit the description in (a). The Hershey Theater, though, seems a bit of a stretch, unless, of course, all that fine entertainment was open only to Derry Township residents, which it is not.
So that leaves us with (b) and (c). One would logically think that, given the Foundation's resources, that its board would say, OK, 1/3 to (a), 1/3 to (b) and 1/3 to (c). Maybe that's a bit crazy. Regardless, one would think that something, anything in the way of a grant would be directed to Derry Township School District which, after all, are the only public schools in Derry Township. Penn State Hershey is public-affiliated so I don't believe that would count.
But to get nothing? Not even to receive any consideration?
I called and begged Rep Ron Marsico NOT to approved these vultures to come in to PA. I had an experience with a disabled veteran I knew who had mental problems from his service in Vietnam. He was paying 500% or more on his PayDay loans and they were taking loan on top of loan. It took us months to get them to finally stop.
Our call to Marsico was to no avail as he voted yes. Of course, the reason was to "protect" Pennsylvanians. How about protecting us by not allowing these scum-sucking lowlifes in PA at all? No courage.
Excuse me. Could you scroll up just a wee bit and read what da4boyz wrote?
Mr. Hershey's intent was clear when he wrote the charter for the M. S. Hershey Foundation that it specifically be "...to establish and maintain educational institutions and support public schools in the township and to enhance vocational, professional and cultural education for Derry Twp. residents."
It mentions nothing about educating tourists from Long Island. Now, I'll give you that the archives have great educational and historical value to the residents of Derry Township, but the other attractions are a stretch. The notion that just because the Hershey Testamentary Trust also provides $1.8 million to the school district each year makes them "greedy" shows a complete misunderstanding of the complicated structure of the Hershey trusts.
Sure, it doesn't mention Derry Township School District by name, but can anyone name any other "public school" in Derry Township? Remember, the courts approved $50 million be taken from the orphan's trust in 1963 to be given to Penn State to start a medical school and hospital.
