Chapter eleven
I grabbed a hoodie, and ran as fast as I could down to the woods and climbed the tree up to the tree house. No one except us spies knew about this place as Mr Boot had built it when he was a student here and we only ever used it in an emergency. When I reached the platform of the tree house, I stood panting in front of Tom who looked very anxious. "I don't know what to do!" He told me. "Now that Skye isn't at school anymore, whenever I try to talk to Viktorya to try and befriend her, she bats her eyelids and flirts at me! I'm in the year below for Christ's sake!"
Oh for God's sake. Had he really called me down here to talk about relationship problems? I sighed inwardly and let it go. There was no point making a fuss.
"Well let's face it Tom, you are in one of the top ten hottest guys in the whole school!" I said raising my eyebrows at him, grinning. "This is a good thing. If you let her flirt then she might tell you something!"
He shook his head. "I can't! I'll feel like I am cheating on Skye! If anything happened then it would destroy me and she wouldn't like me anymore!" He was panicking.
"Breathe, breathe. Tom!" I slapped him lightly to wake him up. "Phone her; tell her what's going on. She will understand, trust me."
"Okay." He sighed. "I heard about your bath earlier! Was it smoking hot?" He grinned.
"No, quite the opposite." I told him primly. "It was freezing. Why have you ordered me all the way out here to talk about this? Why couldn't I let anyone see me?"
He peered over the platform, and then looked in the trees. "This afternoon, while you were having your naughty bath with David Callas—" I tried to interrupt but Tom ploughed on. "I looked over the recordings my cameras had made of my room while we were gone. We have a problem."
I was suddenly snapped to attention. "What came into your room?" I breathed quietly.
"Have you checked your cameras?" He asked steadily.
"No?" I shook my head, mute. One suspect alone came into my head.
Tom fiddled with a leaf on a branch. "Viktorya came into my room, rummaged through my stuff and found one of my knives. I had left it slightly poking out of my wash bag." He said quickly. "She took it but since I've seen her, she hasn't mentioned anything. The odd thing was my room was completely locked with a magnetised pin but she still somehow got in and left it so that when I came back, I still had to de-magnetise the door to get in."
"Her cat was watching me last night. I woke up from a bad dream and went to the window to calm down and its face just emerged out of the darkness with the camera on its collar recording, watching me watching it." I said quietly. "We have no idea what we are up against but that is scary stuff. What was she trying to do?"
Tom shook his head miserably. I leapt off the platform and clambered down the tree. I thundered back to school and ran to my room with my heart beating and my hair flying past my face. I snatched my laptop and turned it on. I linked the wireless cameras up to the laptop and pressed play.
I fast forwarded through the video until I saw motion there at 12'o'clock midday. I just sat and watched. A girl was in my room, with her back to me. Her blonde hair was tied behind her head but it was long and frizzy compared to Viktorya's short neat haircut. The girl searched my room, and I noticed that her fingernails were painted black; they shined out like stars in the blurry image. It looked like she saw something in the mirror above my sink. She looked back, directly where the camera was hidden in my maths file and walked right up to it.
I watched silently as the girl waved at the camera and then it went all grey and fuzzy and I couldn't watch anymore. I played it back to look at the girl's face but she was wearing a mask like a grim reaper so I couldn't see who it was. I emailed the video straight to Simon and sat staring at this grim reaper for a few moments.
I searched everything in my room to see whether any of my BIA licence papers had been taken or any of my weapons. Everything was still there, so what had she seen in the mirror. I suddenly turned and, for the first time since I'd come into the room, looked at my mirror.
Written in black permanent marker on the mirror was; 'I'm watching you!' I searched the whole mirror, ran my hand over the glass to check for anything stuck to the glass. Sure enough, I found a tiny black camera glued to the glass and crushed it with my foot before throwing it out of the window.
This meant war.
I checked my entire room using my bug tracker to find all the other cameras and audio chips placed in my room. There were loads. I broke them all and then I phoned Simon to tell him the problem.
"Shit!" He mumbled. "Yeah, you and Tom have to act normal. No spy business for a while, okay? This is serious! I'm going to sort something out with the boss, and get back to you. We had some mission we wanted to get done but we'll have to wait three or four weeks." He rang off before I could protest. I threw the phone onto my bed and took out my anxiety and frustration on a pillow. I punched at it until feathers were flying all over the place. My stomach growled as I returned to my senses.
Only then did I realise that supper had been and gone nearly four hours ago! Where had the time disappeared to? I sighed and went to my cupboard. There was a big packet of chilli Doritos which I quickly ate, but my stomach still grumbled.
It was lights out for year eleven so I had to be really quiet as I ran down to the school kitchen. Using a hair-slide, I unlocked the door, turned on the lights and found the fridge. There was a large tub of left-over tomato pasta, so I found a bowl in the cupboard and took some. I heated it up in the microwave and chewed on a carrot while I waited.
"Ahem?" Someone stood in the doorway. I gulped and turned around. Mr Larson was standing there and his face was turning bright red with anger.
My heart skipped a beat. "I…I missed supper, Mr Larson. I wasn't stealing, I swear. I was just hungry!" I trembled as the microwave suddenly went ping and opened. My mouth watered from the smell of hot tomato pasta.
"It is ten past ten at night!" He thundered. I stared at him with my little girlie face that no one can resist. "Fine, I'll let you off with a warning this time but if you ever do anything like this again then I am going to punish you! Now eat your pasta and hop off up to bed."
I quickly picked up the pasta and slurped it up as fast as I could. When my hunger was satisfied I cleared away my stuff and left the kitchen.
The next Saturday evening, David decided he wanted to treat me to a proper meal, but he didn't have enough money. I insisted that we just order a takeaway pizza from the Domino's in Hastings. When the car rolled up, we asked it to stop away from the CCTV cameras so that we could hide it from the school; we weren't normally allowed to have pizza delivered to the school. David paid the guy, and I hid the large pepperoni pizza box in my gigantic backpack. It looked so obvious but I didn't really care. As we walked through the corridor on our way to the common room, Jasper stopped us.
"Mind if you share a bite of that for a worthy cause?" He grinned and rubbed his tummy. "I'm half-starved on the rubbish we're fed here."
"Sorry Jaz, this pizza's all for us!" David laughed. "Maybe next time."
I looked from boy to boy in amusement and then walked to the common room. David ran after me, probably eager not to lose sight of the pizza in its oversized container.
As we unpacked the pizza and laid it out on the table in the common room, I said to David; "It's your birthday on Tuesday. You'll be sixteen too!" He nodded and ripped a bite out of his pizza. "What do you want for your birthday?" I asked him.
"Well, since we will both be sixteen, I want you for the night!" He said cheekily when he'd swallowed his mouthful.
I gasped and leant across the table and slapped him playfully round the face. "I am not going to sleep with you!" I smiled.
He laughed and his eyes sparkled. "I was kidding babe! It was funny!"
"Yeah, sure it was funny, for you!" I quirked an eyebrow at him. "I'll not get you anything for behaving like that!"
"Okay, I'm sorry!" He put his hands up in surrender and ate another piece of pizza. "Wait…" He said after a while. "You won't even think about it?"
"Nuh-uh! Don't even try to talk me into it 'cause there's just no way!" I rolled my eyes. "What are you getting from your parents for your birthday?"
"Well, I asked for a moped… Doubtful they'll give me one though. They say it's too dangerous, but it's a moped… what's the worst it can do!"
"Well," I touched his hand "It's not the moped that's the dangerous thing. It the person driving it, and if you're the person driving it, then I sure as hell don't want to be riding on the back!" I laughed as I saw his face fall.
"Thanks S. Not that I was going to ask you to ride with me anyway!" David said as he grinned at me and held my hand tight.
We chatted like that for the rest of the evening and for the first time all week, I hadn't thought about my missions or the dangers I had faced.
I slept soundly that night; better than I had recently. I woke up at eleven 'o'clock the next morning, after skipping the Anglican service in the chapel downstairs and stayed in bed most of the day doing work. My mum called so I talked to my whole family, and I chatted to Skye on Facebook while I did some schoolwork. I asked her whether Tom had told her about Viktorya yet.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it, but as long as he doesn't do anything irrational then I suppose it all goes to helping the mission."
"Don't worry about it. Has there been any news from the doctor?"
"Nah, they don't seem worried so I think I'm fine. I'll be allowed out on the twenty eighth of October!"
"Seriously? But that's like Friday! Cool." I exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know! Anyway, got to go, my doctor has just come in. He looks happy!"
I chuckled as I put the laptop away. I don't think I went out of my room at all, except when I went to lunch and supper.
On Tuesday morning, I got up and went down to stand near where the boys area was so that when David came through, I could go down to breakfast with him and sing happy birthday. The noise was tremendous and my eardrums vibrated because I was still tired.
At lunch, we went to the common room and David sliced a big chocolate cake for everyone. After he had cut the cake, I told him to make a wish. He shut his eyes for a second then turned to me and kissed me right there in front of everyone! I giggled but he hugged me and gave me the first piece of cake. I kissed him on the cheek when he gave it to me and took a huge bite. It was a yummy cake and we ate the whole thing with the rest of year eleven!
Later, after supper, David and I went out for a quiet stroll through the school grounds. We talked for a while and when we passed the fountain, we both burst out laughing. I began to lead David slowly towards an old walled garden that few know of. When the school used to be a house, the owner had this walled garden built for his wife to relax. There were rose and lavender bushes and an old cherry blossom tree. There was a bench in there that was made of dark wood and on a silver plaque was engraved; to my beloved.
David and I sat there, and we just listened to the silent beauty of the place. It was quarter past seven and the light was nearly gone; it was definitely coming to the middle of autumn.
"It's beautiful here. How do you know about it?" David asked astounded.
"I come here to relax and think about things." I said. We gazed at each other until I shut my eyes and leant in.
Suddenly there were voices over the wall, coming closer. I started and David nearly leapt to the other side of the garden. "I know this great little place…It's so quiet. Hardly anyone knows about it… just in here…" Tom opened the gate and stopped short when he saw me and David sitting on the bench.
"What is it?" A girl's voice spoke from behind him. Viktorya Sheremetev came in and stood beside Tom. He turned bright red. I only just managed to conceal a smile.
"Oh! Well this is awkward!" Viktorya said. David shifted and we got up to leave. Tom didn't say a word as we walked past him through the gate but he nudged me when Viktorya and David weren't looking. We shut the gate and wandered through the now dark grounds and stopped by a tiny stream and finally had our first uninterrupted kiss.
It felt like the world stopped, everything was silent until a whisper of wind swept by and my hair billowed slowly in the breeze. David brushed it off my face with his hand. I looked at him and kissed the corner of his mouth and walked away, back up to school. It took him a few moments to realise I had gone before he came running up behind me. He put his arm around me and we walked slowly back inside.
I fell asleep that night tired, but I kept waking up because I kept imagining I heard a scream before I fell asleep again. I woke up at about six thirty in the morning the last time and decided I couldn't go back to sleep for only an hour and a half.
I slowly got up and put my feet on the ground. I had a dizzying spell and nearly fell to the ground. I shook myself awake and went to splash cold water in my face. I went down to breakfast after changing into my uniform.
At breakfast I felt I was being watched and I looked around and saw Chesna watching me carefully, her mind working on something. I went and sat with her and Florence at the table. She stared at me. I started eating my food as though I didn't notice and I hoped that she would knock it off.
"Chesna, what's wrong? You're looking at S in a really odd way." Florence said anxiously. Chesna shook her head and looked around as if she had been dreaming. She wasn't a good actor, but I didn't say anything.
All throughout the day I got funny looks from her and I tried to ignore them. Finally, I just stormed up to her. "What is your problem?" I said. "Why do you stare at me all the time? Don't think I haven't noticed, because you have been doing it all day so knock it off!"
She turned and walked away. I stared grouchily after her, wondering what the hell had got into her. No one just walked away from someone like that! It was just plain rude.

by Cindy FosterTHE CHURCH WE WEREThe Preacher and his wife graduated from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. At the time he attended there, the college was quite conservative. There were strict rules about dress, dating, curfews, entertainment, music and much more.The Preacher actually grew up in Springfield and was a member of a church that was not nearly as rigid in its standards as the college was, so in the beginning of his ministry as pastor, he did not have the extreme beliefs that he eventually embraced later in his ministry.It was several years after the church had started and was established with its own building that the more relaxed climate began … [Read more...]

Snipped! Part 6: The Fun Little Church
by Incongruous CircumspectionBill Gothard's weekly marriage class was run by Pastor John Hartzell and his young protégé, Chuck Raichert in a little Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in Bloomington, Minnesota. Normandale Baptist was the name. The seminar was called Rebuilder's and was all about loving Jesus Christ so much that your husband or wife simply rushed back into your arms and lived happily ever after. The only problem, it never worked that way. It merely created religious zombies with strict principles.Mama was one of these zombies. She would have hours of "conversation" with my dad over the phone. She never let him speak. You knew when he tried by the rise in the … [Read more...]

A Tomboy in Christian Patriarchy
by LatebloomerI was not the type of daughter that my mother wanted. I was a tomboy.My hair was very short and I preferred blue clothes. I wanted to run faster and climb higher than anyone. I wasn't afraid of slimy frogs and worms, and I could kill a spider without batting an eye. I looked with confusion and disdain at the passive little girls with their hair-bows, sitting and talking about clothes and boys. If I had known the term "badass" back then, I would have applied it to myself with pride.When I was young, my mom was more tolerant of this. After all, in the early days, there were mostly boys in my age group in our small homeschooling community. So I was free to run wild … [Read more...]

by Libby AnneIn Part 1 I discussed the definition of emotional incest, in Part 2 I discussed its relationship with Christian Patriarchy, and in Part 3 I pointed out just how easy it is to slip into the harmful emotionally incestuous dynamics (the "daddy's girl" effect). I am now going to turn to the problems and pain emotional incest causes.But first, I want to note that emotional incest can happen in any family (not just one involved in Christian Patriarchy) and that it can happen with sons as well as with daughters. In focusing as I have on daughters, and also on Christian Patriarchy, I have of necessity left a lot out.Emotional incest causes a multitude of problems, but I'm onl … [Read more...]

The inspection was carried out by two Additional Inspectors.
Description of the school
This average-sized school is situated on the outskirts of Oldham and serves a popular residential area. The percentage of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is above average. There are 20 pupils with statements of special educational need and most of them attend the two small classes for pupils with language disorders, funded by the local authority. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for a free school meal is well below average. Most pupils are of White British heritage and there are very few pupils who are at an early stage of learning English. There are significantly more boys than girls in the school. St Paul's holds the Toothfriendly Gold awards, is working towards Healthy School status and is developing an Education for Peace curriculum. It is proud of its strong links with the church.

Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
This is a good school which has made significant improvements since the previous inspection, notably in the quality of teaching and learning, in the standards pupils reach and in the progress they make. It has good capacity to improve further and provides good value for money. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of what the school does for their offspring and comment, 'St Paul's develops our children in a safe and secure environment and caters for the needs of each individual.'
Pupils are proud of their school and recognise that they, too, have an important part to play in looking after younger children and those who are experiencing difficulty. Teachers and teaching assistants are very good role models and provide high levels of care and support for their pupils, irrespective of their learning difficulties or levels of ability. As a result, pupils achieve well in both their personal and academic development. In the two small classes funded by the local authority, youngsters with communication and language difficulties are fully included in everything the school has to offer.
Children make a good start in the Nursery and Reception classes and are prepared well for the rigours of Key Stage 1.Good and sometimes outstanding teaching leads to pupils achieving well across the school reaching above average standards by the time they leave in Year 6. Their progress in reading and writing is particularly good but, although attainment in mathematics has improved over the past four years, pupils' progress in this subject is not quite as fast as in others.
The vibrant displays of pupils' work in classrooms, on corridors and in the main hall demonstrate just how much pupils enjoy their school. They attend regularly, behave well and are delighted to take on responsibilities to help the school run smoothly. They take full advantage of the many opportunities they have to evaluate the work of their classmates and offer them advice on how to improve with a sensitivity which belies their years. Relationships are, therefore, a major strength and pupils are delighted when their peers succeed.
Pupils have a keen understanding of the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and take full advantage of the many sports activities on offer. They speak positively of the trips they make, the archaeological dig, for example, and of the out-of-class clubs which help them feel part of the whole-school community. They have close connections with the church and take part in a wide range of events, designed to enrich their view of the world and to support charities at a local, national and global level. Their understanding of Britain as a multicultural society is, however, underdeveloped.
The school is led and managed well and the headteacher and senior team have a clear vision for future development. Staff at all levels are not complacent and, supported by a well-informed governing body, are utterly committed to both the personal and academic welfare of the pupils in their care. Significant improvements in standards since the last inspection, pupils' good personal development and the outstanding care, guidance and support provided for them demonstrate that St Paul's lives up to its motto: ''Love to Learn, Learn to Love.'
Effectiveness of the Foundation Stage
Grade: 2
Provision in the Foundation Stage is good and children achieve well in all areas of their learning. Well-resourced and stimulating provision in the Nursery and Reception classes enables children to make a good start to their school careers. Staff understand the needs of young children well and plan exciting activities which stimulate their curiosity and desire to learn. Children's development is assessed regularly, systematically and thoroughly. The information provided enables teachers and teaching assistants to provide the challenge and support children need to learn effectively and to develop their skills. Excellent relationships and constructive guidance provide a secure foundation for children's personal, social and emotional development. They work and play happily together, follow school routines sensibly and readily participate in all the activities on offer. Leadership and management are good and are managed well and there is a smooth transition between classes.
What the school should do to improve further
- Accelerate pupils' progress in mathematics.
- Give pupils more opportunities to become more aware of the different cultures represented in Britain.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Children enter the Foundation Stage with skills that are broadly expected for their age. They achieve well across the school to reach above average standards by the time they leave at the end of Year 6. They respond positively to the challenging targets set for them and their progress in reading and writing is particularly good. However, progress in mathematics lags behind that in English and science, but standards in this subject are still higher than at the time of the previous inspection. An area for development four years ago, more able pupils now reach the standards of which they are capable and sometimes surpass their targets. In addition, such is the quality of support from both teachers and teaching assistants that pupils with learning difficulties, including those in the resourced classes, make the same progress as their peers and indeed often surprise themselves at what they can do.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils enjoy their school, are very proud of it and feel safe. As they say, 'our friends and our teachers make sure that we are kind to each other.' Attendance is consistently above average and pupils arrive in the morning punctually and with smiles on their faces. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. Pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong, exemplified by their good behaviour and reinforced by the thought-provoking assemblies they attend and by the school's emphasis on the concept of peace. A wide range of visits and visitors and the introduction of Spanish enhance their cultural awareness but their understanding of Britain as a multi-cultural society is limited.
Pupils are aware of the importance of healthy eating and of keeping fit. They take full advantage of the many sports activities on offer. Pupils in all years are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility for others, including the school council, sports captains and monitors in all areas of school life. They also play a full part in church activities within the local community. They speak positively of the rewards systems and are pleased to tell visitors about the different aspects of 'Knights' and 'Stars'. The good progress pupils make in English, mathematics, and information and communication technology (ICT) prepares them well for their secondary school careers and also for life beyond formal education.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
The quality of teaching and learning is good and there are examples of outstanding practice in Key Stage 2. Effective teaching in both Nursery and Reception encourages children to take responsibility for their own learning at such an early stage in their school careers. Warm relationships between pupils and between pupils and adults are key features of the classroom: teachers and teaching assistants treat their pupils with the utmost dignity and mutual respect abounds. Appropriate levels of challenge are the order of the day and pupils respond positively to the sophisticated questioning techniques of their teachers, which encourage them to think more deeply about the subject matter. In the best lessons, pupils are fully engaged and express their views with confidence and sensitivity, shown in an excellent Year 5 literacy session, for example, in which pupils presented their ideas on 'The person I admire most'. Focused support for pupils with learning difficulties is a major strength and the talented team of teaching assistants has high expectations of what their charges can achieve. In a minority of lessons, teachers direct the learning too much, pace drops as a result and not all pupils are fully engaged in the activities.
The school is rightly proud of its enviable reputation in assessment. Marking is both detailed and informative, and pupils themselves enjoy evaluating the work of their classmates. Moreover, they are fully aware of how to improve their own standards because criteria for success are shared with them in each and every lesson.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The curriculum meets all pupils' needs well and there is an appropriate emphasis on basic skills and on promoting pupils' personal development. As a result, pupils make particularly good progress in literacy and ICT, and their emotional development is also enhanced. Learners have many opportunities to take responsibility, both in lessons and outside the classroom. These contribute to the purposeful atmosphere that is evident throughout the school. The curriculum provides well for pupils with learning difficulties. Pupils with communication and language disorders in the resourced classes, for example, make good progress as a result.
There is a wide range of out-of-class activities, including sport and music, and participation rates are high. The annual 'Artsweek' is a highlight of the school calendar and the classrooms and corridors are adorned with pupils' drawings and paintings. There is a good variety of visits and visitors, and all pupils learn Spanish. However, the school's work to promote pupils' awareness of the wider multi-cultural world is at an early stage of development.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 1
The quality of pastoral care, support and guidance provided for pupils is outstanding and is founded on the excellent relationships between adults and pupils and among pupils themselves. Parents agree and add, 'We are grateful for the high quality of support our sons and daughters receive. It makes an enormous difference to the progress they make.' Child protection and procedures to ensure pupils' health and safety are well established and secure. Pupils rightly feel safe and very well cared for. Pupils, who find the work hard, including those in the two resourced classes, are very well supported by teachers and other adults. The appropriate use of praise, including the popular merit systems, leads to pupils demonstrating positive attitudes, politeness and consideration for others. Pupils new to the school settle down quickly and they are also prepared fully for their transfer to secondary school at the end of Year 6.
Academic guidance for pupils of all abilities is very impressive. Pupils are regularly involved in assessing their own work and that of their classmates and are adept at identifying their own personal and curricular targets.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
Leadership and management, including governance, are good. The headteacher provides decisive leadership which is founded on creating a clear sense of direction and a good level of challenge for all. She delegates effectively and other managers are increasingly influential in their roles. School improvement focuses clearly on raising standards and achievement, and this is reflected in the marked improvement in attainment and progress since the previous inspection. Tracking arrangements to check on pupils' progress are comprehensive and any possible underachievement is identified rapidly. The school's excellent care for pupils is rooted in the emphasis on promoting pupils' academic and emotional development. The school runs smoothly and financial management is on an even keel. Governors provide the right balance of support and challenge to the capable school team.
Leaders set ambitious targets and are effective in achieving them. The quality of the school's self-evaluation is good. It is largely accurate and identifies priorities for development effectively. Leaders do not rest on their laurels and performance management is used well to drive improvement across the school.

Annex B
Text from letter to pupils explaining the findings of the inspection
Thank you all so much for the wonderful welcome you gave to Mr Griffin and me when we visited your school recently. You were very polite and friendly and it was a pleasure to talk to you. I would now like to tell you what we think about your school.
St Paul's is a good school and you are right to be very proud of it. You behave well, attend regularly and the standards you reach in your work are higher than in many other schools. I have asked your teachers to help you a little bit more in mathematics so that you can do just as well in this subject as you do in reading, writing and science.
At St Paul's, everyone gets on with each other! Your teachers and teaching assistants look after you very well indeed and older pupils, the sports captains, for example, make sure that no one is lonely at playtime and lunchtime. You really enjoy the 'stars' and 'knights' merit systems and you like taking responsibility around school. Your assemblies are a joy to visit and you sing wonderfully! Many of you take part in the activities organised by the local church and you raise a lot of money for charity. I have discussed with your teachers how they can help you understand even more about the other cultures which are represented in Britain.
You make good progress in your lessons because the teaching you receive is good. Teachers ask you some difficult questions to make you think and they also make sure that you have chances to work out how well you are doing. You even give good advice to your classmates on how they can improve their work, too.
You headteacher and all the other staff work hard to make sure that St Paul's is a happy school and they know exactly what is needed to improve it even further. You can play your part too by continuing to do your best in all your subjects.

Basic Web and Internet Terminology
posted by ADMIN // August 11, 2009 // Build Your Website
Not everyone can be tech savvy or Internet whizzes. Many people are intimidated by the Internet, technology that is practically a separate entity with its own space and language. The terminology can make an Internet experience frustrating and debilitating, but once you know the basic language, the Internet can be approached with more confidence. The following are some of the basic terms commonly used on the Internet.
- Bookmark—this is a way of storing favorite sites, making it easier to return to them.
- Browser—this is a program that provides a way to access the Internet.
- Chat—chat and chatting refer to real-time, almost instantaneous communication over the Internet.
- Domain Name—this is the unique, alphabetic, root name identifying a website and registering it through approved sources, to prevent more than one person from having the same website name. A domain name example would be: www.rootname.com
- Email—this is a shortening of the term electronic mail and refers to text messages sent through an Internet service from one person to another, emulating the postal service, which is often referred to as Snail Mail.
- FAQ—stands for Frequently Asked Questions and is a list of questions and answers related to the subject of the website where it is found.
- Home page—this is the page that appears when first entering the Internet, acting as a base of operations for the user.
- HTML—stands for HyperText Markup Language and is the basic code which creates web pages. The code is not visible when viewing a web page, but is the behind-the-scenes formatting that makes a web page possible. Internet servers translate HTML code into visual web pages.
- HTTP—stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol and is the protocol that tells a server how to locate and produce a web page. Typed into the browser, this is usually placed in front of a website address, like the following example: http://www.address.com
- Hyperlink or Link—this is usually an image or piece of text that has been coded to take the user to another web page when the user clicks on it—to link the original page with another page. Links are often underlined and in a different color to emphasize their linking nature.
- Instant Messaging—this is a form of instant text communication between two or more online users.
- Internet—a global system of computer networks allowing communication and information exchange in the form of text, photo, audio, and video documents.
- IP Address—stands for Internet Protocol Address and is the numeric address of each specific computer connecting to the Internet. IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers.
- ISP—stands for Internet Service Provider and is a company that provides their clients with direct access to the Internet.
- Search Engine—this is a tool that allows users to search for information on the Internet using keywords or phrases.
- Spam—this is the term for unsolicited email sent by a "spammer," a person or organization sending unwanted mail.
- URL—stands for Uniform Resource Locator and is the entire address of a website on the Internet. For example: http://www.address.com/website.html
- Virus—this is a program that is usually embedded in another program and activates when the carrier program is downloaded off of the Internet. Viruses perform many activities, most of which are unwelcome by the user and some of which can be extremely harmful to the user's computer and data.
- Web Hosting—this is a service utilized through Internet Service Providers, providing a location for the files that create a website.
- Website—this is a collection of connected pages and images viewed on the Internet.
- WWW—stands for the World Wide Web and is the global hypertext system that allows for website navigation on the Internet.
The Internet is an amazingly versatile tool for communication and learning. From dictionaries and encyclopedias to chat rooms and message boards, the Internet has something for everyone. Having a basic understanding of Internet terminology can facilitate access to this global information network, giving everyone an incredible amount of freedom and opening up the entire world.

Costco Wholesale Corporation, based in Issaquah, Wash., officially became a member of ICE's Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) during a signing ceremony Tuesday. IMAGE is a voluntary program that allows private sector businesses to partner with ICE to reduce unauthorized employment and the use of fraudulent identity documents. As a result, a participating employer is able to maintain a more secure, stable workforce.
"I am pleased to welcome Costco Wholesale Corporation as an IMAGE partner," said Leigh Winchell, ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge in Seattle. "This action sends a strong message to the millions of Americans who do business with Costco that the company places a priority on hiring and employing a legal workforce."
When a company pursues IMAGE membership, ICE provides education and training on proper hiring procedures, including employment screening tools such as E-Verify and the Social Security Number Verification Services. The company also undergoes an audit of its I-9 forms to ensure current employees are eligible to work in the United States.
The E-Verify program, administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, allows businesses to verify that newly hired employees are eligible to work in the United States. This web-based program, available in all 50 states at no cost to employers, provides an automated link to the Social Security Administration database and Department of Homeland Security immigration records.
Under IMAGE, which was initiated in 2006, ICE partners with employers in a wide range of industries, including employment services, aviation, transportation, construction, high technology, shipping and manufacturing. Currently, more than 100 businesses nationwide are IMAGE members.
Costco currently operates 428 warehouses in the Unites States and Puerto Rico and employs more than 140,000 people, including seasonal workers. It is the 13th company to join IMAGE statewide.
Employers interested in learning more about IMAGE membership may contact the local IMAGE coordinator by calling 206-442-2200 or by visiting www.ice.gov/image/.

No grapes grow here on the outskirts of Chesterfield Mall, just around a bend in the looping drive from the new American Girl store, behind the Dillard's parking lot, in the building that once housed a restaurant called Bahama Breeze. But by law, if not by obvious outward appearance, EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery truly is a winery as well as restaurant. Steak Bruschetta - rosemary flank steak, blue cheese, arugula, chianti braised shallots, grilled baguette, shaved Parmesan and balsamic reduction. Here's how it's done: EdgeWild buys unfinished wines from wineries in California, Oregon and Washington, brings them to the restaurant and ages them there in oak barrels. The restaurant then bottles the wine under the EdgeWild label, which bears the same sleek logo that adorns the restaurant signage: the gray silhouette of a tree whose trunk turns into a mirrored reflection of itself in red.

2009-10 Wall of Fame Class
2009-10 Walsh University Wall of Fame Class
Walsh University will induct four new members into its Athletic
Wall of Fame. The Wall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony will
be held on Friday, October 2nd and Saturday, October 3rd. The
dinner will be held on Friday in the Barrette Business and
Community Center, beginning with a reception at 6:30 pm, followed
by dinner at 7:15 pm, with the induction ceremonies to follow.
Cost of the dinner is $20.00. Please R.S.V.P. by calling
330-490-7117. The 2009-10 class will also be presented on
Saturday, at halftime of the homecoming football game against
Olivet Nazarene University, with kick-off set for 12 pm.
Anthony (Tony) Cordillo lettered four years (1968-1971) for the men's golf team for Brother James Lacasse. Cordillo, a veterans committee selection to the 2009 Wall of Fame Class, was instrumental in Walsh's growth in the early years of athletics. Tony averaged 81.7 as a freshman, but his senior season proved to be his finest, when he earned All-District 22 honors on Walsh's 16-1 team and averaged 74.0 for the year. Walsh's 1971 record was the finest of any intercollegiate golf program in Ohio. Tony is a CPA, and lives in North Canton with his wife, Joan. They have two daughters.
Jennifer Pafford-Njoroge (1996-1999) lettered four years as the starting setter for the Cavs' Volleyball Team. Jen's stellar career began with the being named to the Mid-Ohio Conference All-Freshman Team and being selected honorable mention All-MOC. For the next three seasons, Jen was the premier setter in the American Mideast Conference earning first-team accolades each season. In her sophomore year, she was selected second-team Great Lakes Region and was named first-team NAIA Region IX. Jen still holds school marks for career assists (7087), and is first and second for assists in a single season (2079, 1973). She is third all-time in assists per game (11.60), career aces (253) and is fifth in career digs (1736). During Jen's career, the Cavs won three straight conference championships, winning 135 matches, against only 47 losses. Jen is currently teaching at Canton Timken High School and resides in Dover with her husband Jorge.
Ron Winphrie (1997-2000) lettered four years on the gridiron as a standout wide receiver and return specialist. Winphrie earned first-team All-Mid-States Football Association as a junior and senior. He was NAIA Honorable Mention All-American as a junior and was a second-team Hansen Gazette All-American his senior year. The flashy Winphrie averaged 24.8 yards per kick return as a sophomore, 30.8 as a junior and 30.4 with two touchdowns his senior year. He also led the Cavs in punt returns his final three years, with a best average of 11.5 as a junior. He is second in career kick return yardage (2022) and third career punt return yardage (380). Also a game-breaker at receiver, Ron is second in career receptions (104), career receiving yardage (1759) and receiving touchdowns (14). He led the Cavs in receptions as a sophomore (30), junior (24) and senior (40). His 40 catches are third all-time for a single season. Ron resides in Youngstown, Ohio and works for the Municipal Courts.
Darci Violand-Thompson (1997-2000) lettered four times on the tennis courts for the Cavs. Darci, a member of four consecutive conference championship teams, shined at first singles and first doubles. One of the most successful players in the history of the storied program, Violand was named first-team all-conference in singles and doubles all four years. Her singles record stands at 64-15 (18-4, 16-2, 13-7, 17-2) and her doubles record at 48-21 (13-6, 17-2, 14-6, 14-7). Also an outstanding student, Darci earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors three times (1998, 1999, 2000). Darci and her husband Tim reside in Barnesville, Ohio, with their three children. The Thompson's are franchise owners of Wendy's Restaurants in Ohio and West Virginia.

Slick, witty and very cool – LCF's 2012 promotional video is a great example of a near-perfect look book
This week's Monday Morning Music Video takes a slightly different tack, focussing as it does on fashion. It can be tempting, when creating a look book or catalogue for a degree show, to simultaneously cram everything in and do something completely wild and original in order to get noticed. Well, I think it's pretty clear that LCF have pretty much smashed that theory out of the park with their slick promo video for their 2012 graduate collection. Stylish (naturally), fun, genuinely exciting and with a very watchable pace, this is the perfect video to showcase what looks like three years of very hard work for all involved.

Cramer: Joy Is In America, But It's a China Stock
TheStreet) -- Debra Borchardt: Joy Global (JOY - Get Report)reported its earnings. They had kind of a gloomy outlook on mining. Jim, let's talk about that. I mean, clearly coal has pulled way back because a lot of the power companies are going to nat gas because it's so cheap. Jim: Yeah, and also an activist EPA. In the second term ofn Obama a lot of the coal plants that were built in the Jimmy Carter era -- which were meant to last 40 years so do the math -- are coming to their natural end of their life and could be extended. Perhaps you put more filters on them, you do what it makes it so coal is a little bit cleaner. But to me it's an end game.I mean, I think honestly if these coal plants weren't in coal states you would already see them be phased out more aggressively. I think that the executives there are caught among the rate payers, the coal miners and the EPA. But overall coal is going away in this country. Now, Sutherlin, CEO of Joy, knows it's a China play, it's an India play, it's a refurbishment of current material play. What I took heart in that one line in the release, which was that the electric use of China continues to go higher, which is an unrejiggered statistic that is like a lot of people are saying like their PMI number is phony or this number is phony or that number...you can go on, but electricity demand is going higher in China and I think that's industrial, it's consumer... Debra Borchardt:They love coal. Jim:... and yes, they do love coal. In my fantasies, I envision slapping tariffs on them for all the jobs they took from us, and then making stuff that pollutes the earth, and then they send it back to us. I was just going over that with my very environmental, anti-pollution daughter, and I said, 'Listen, China is the problem.' China is addicted to coal and China is the problem for the global warming, but it sure isn't the problem for like Sutherlin and Joy. It's good news.NEW YORK (

Someone asked this on the original Limited Time Magic forum but no one got around to it I believe. This is a very interesting question. Is there anyone that has any conformation on which show will be brought back? Is it the Revue with Pecos Bill and Slue Foot Sue or is it the Jamboree with Sam the Bartender and Miss Lilly? Both shows are great but I want the Revue. I know the revue was written by its stars Wally Boag and Donald Novis so it catered to their talents but others successfully took their parts when they couldn't be in the show, remember when Fulton Burley took the role of the Irish tenor when Novis was sick? However I won't be too surprised if TWDC advertises the Jamboree as the Revue sometimes I doubt marketing can spell POTATO sometimes. I would even settle for a condensed version as long as it has the Traveling Salesman, Pecos Bill, Irish Tenor, some numbers from the leading lady and the Can Can girls.

Life is looking up for pupils as new-look Crown Hills Community College takes shape
Posted: December 15, 2012|
This aerial view shows the huge building project taking place to transform a city college.
Crown Hills Community College is being rebuilt at a cost of £21 million. The aim is to create an eye-catching, futuristic structure with classrooms flooded with natural light.
The fabric of the building, being built on the same site as the current one in Gwendolen Road, Evington, is complete.
Plastering work will begin in the new year, with students and staff set to move in by October.
The new school will provide more than 125,000 sq ft of floor space, compared with the 116,000sq ft of its predecessor.
The transformation of the 16- acre site will also include outdoor areas for eating and learning, a theatre with retractable seating, a fitness suite and dance studio and a sports hall.
Head teacher Bernie Green said: "Progress has been amazing. What we'll get at the end of it is a building that is completely transformational in what it delivers to students.
"It will lift their spirits every time they walk through the door.
"Some pupils have been able to look around the site, including our Btec construction students – which has been helpful for their coursework."
Work started in April as part of Leicester City Council's Building Schools for the Future programme to rebuild or refurbish every city secondary.
The building is designed around a series of indoor plazas with "learning zones" for specific subjects, including a discovery zone for ICT, humanities and languages and an exploration zone for English and arts subjects. The sports hall will have six cricket lanes and courts for tennis, football, netball and volleyball.
Crown Hills school was built in the 1950s and accommodation has become cramped and dilapidated since then.
Business manager Dean Barnett said: "The heating is rundown and inefficient. That won't be a problem in the new school.
"It will have lots of natural light and the corridors are twice the size of what we're used to which means there won't be congestion."
Funding for the most of the council's building work has come from the Government, but Crown Hills and City of Leicester school, where work is also under way, are being financed privately. Crown Hills has also donated about £300,000 of its own funds.
The sports hall has been part funded by the English Cricket Board, which donated £800,000 towards the facilities which will also be for community use.
Mr Barnett said: "We're incredibly excited about what the future holds for us."

I thought they regrew themselves????? If grew outdoors I heard it will multiply every year.. like growing wild.. More every year... Is this wrong?
sure it will keep growning and multiplying out doors if you dont have feminized seeds, and dont sex them, and than your females will have seeds, you dont clone auto flowers, if your smart and have room indoors and time you wont grow auto flowers, i cant get the yeild out of it and I cant clone it, so Id just rather have a few good strains and have a mother or 2 and clone clone clone! (with my experience i get less yeild from auto flower, than say cali mist/ak47, or N.L Or w.w or jus about anything, did I say im not a huge fan of auto flower?)

Agreed, as the Iranian is an indica that has an auto flower tendencies, so it is able to be vegged and maintained to a certain extent under certain regimens, but it will auto flower eventually so you have to keep on it and make a new mother every so often before the old one goes into flower.
why o why grow something real close to brick weed. auto flowers are bested suited to outdoor grows...or bird seed. id opt for the birds. get the irainian.... its got good genetics none of that rudy crap

close.....almost nuff said....but you forgot the most important part bro.....One can bud out a clone of REAL pot just as fast and get a better yield of REAL pot. yes your right you can find that booty chit at a disp....sad to say but it just proves its booty chit. Now remember....autoflower is an auto waste of money, bud a small clone you will get more and better pot just as fast.....sometimes faster.
I got some auto flower rite now, I works well, it is buzzzy and it helps my ashthma and back pain, it dont help me sleep though nor keep me awake, yea its alot better than most brick weed, and your yeild is 8 weeks on most, so as a first run auto will put you in mm a whole lot quicker. If you are getting from a dispense you are getting some auto flower, its a quick turn over money maker for the grower! nuff said!

Offices that want to be recognized for their efforts are welcome to join the Green Office Program. Each office designates one Green Office Representative (or "Go Rep") who serves as the liaison between sustainability staff and their department.
Each new office receives a packet that allows them to determine what sustainable actions they are already taking in their department and provides suggestions for some goals to reach for over the course of the fiscal year. Each participating office receives an exit survey at the end of the year along with a renewal packet, allowing them to declare their goals for the new year and reflect on the previous one. Each office is also signed up for the monthly Go Rep newsletter.
Offices that strive for Green Office Certification are certified at three separate levels, Seedling, Sapling, and Evergreen. As offices complete more sustainable tasks, they are eligible to move up. Offices can also track their progress in separate sustainability areas. These areas include: recycling, energy, transportation, purchasing, community, social justice, food, and innovation. The badges assigned in these levels are determined by the percentage of items completed in each category.
New offices are given any help they might need throughout the process. Sustainability staff is ready and willing to answer questions, provide materials, and present information to offices as requested. There are also a few veteran offices who are excited to work with new departments and introduce them to our system.
* indicates a veteran office that would like to assist in new office orientation
New to the Green Office Program? Download the initial application packet. Complete the packet on your computer and email it to email@example.com. Please, DO NOT print out this packet. It is set up as a PDF form and can be filled out electronically.
Looking to renew your membership in the green office program? Fill out this renewal packet! It will ask you to reflect on your accomplishments from last year and will give you the chance to select your goals for the coming year. As with the initial application, please DO NOT print out this packet. It is set up as a PDF form and can be filled out electronically. Renewal Packets are due by June 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
At the end of each fiscal year, complete this survey about your experience in the program this year. This will allow you to anonymously reflect on your contact with the sustainability staff, other participating offices, and the progress that you made over the course of the year.
No information will be tied back to representatives, offices, or departments. Any information provided in these surveys will be to better the program for the coming years.

After news came out earlier today that the Clippers and F Antawn Jamison were in contract talks, the Clips have officially signed the 15-year veteran to a 1-year deal worth the veteran's minimum, about $1.4 million.
Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reported that the Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies were also interested in adding the versatile forward, but Jamison wanted to sign with LA all along.
"Just happy to be a Clipper and contend for a championship," Jamison told ESPN Los Angeles's Ramona Shelbourne.
Jamison averaged 9.4 PPG and 4.8 RPG in 21.5 minutes a game last season with the Lakers.

Who hasn't dreamed at some point of being an artist, writer or actor? That dream usually turns into a hobby when paying the bills becomes a reality. But those who never let go of the idea are finding ways to start second careers in doing what they love.
Dorothy Atkins: A Prayer Answered Too Soon
Dorothy Atkins always kept a notebook with her during the hour-long commute between her home in San Jose and her job in San Francisco. She'd jot down words of wisdom that she'd heard from friends and family and make sketches to go along with them.
Atkins quietly prayed that her drawings would eventually turn into more than just a hobby to pass time on the train and that someday she'd have her own art studio. "There's something about putting prayers out there in the universe," says Atkins, 69.
Eight years ago, Atkins' prayers were answered. Her boss sat her down, placed a box of Kleenex on the table and told her that the bank where she'd worked for 20 years was downsizing. She had two choices: move across the country with her department or retire early. She left her job that day.
"My life was changing from something I had done 20 some odd years," Atkins says. "Losing my job, it was like a death in the family. It wasn't planned."
It didn't take her long to decide she would use her severance package to start a greeting card company, From Where I Sit. Atkins' cards are from her collection of old black-and-white family photos. She adds a family "pearl of wisdom" at the bottom, and leaves the inside blank for a personal message.
Atkins got her cards noticed by asking buyers from some of her favorite shops if they would be interested in selling them. Most agreed to add a few to the shelves. Eventually, people started writing and calling about the cards.
"It was the best thing that could have happened to me," Atkins says of losing her job. "If I had not been pushed, I don't know if I would have gone in this direction.
Atkins says she learned some tough business lessons along the way. She misused a lot of her startup money because of lack of research in distribution and printing costs. She also had to teach herself Internet marketing. Now she has a blog with video and has found cheaper ways of making her own paper.
With a lot of hard work and some old-fashioned networking, her cards are available in places such as Canada, Hawaii and New York. She says it doesn't pay as much as her previous job, but her greeting card business supplements her retirement income and allows her to make her own hours.
Atkins' advice to other dreamers out there: "If there is something you are passionate about, you can't let go of the thought. Even if it feels silly, you have to take a chance."

There are games out there, in the history of video games, which have marked big steps forward in terms of technical advancements. Classics such as Pong, Pac-Man or Donkey Kong have marked their era, each by accomplishing something special that helped move the video game format forward as a true mainstream entertainment media. Back in 1991, video games that offered a truly cinematic experience were limited to arcade machines that employed the laserdisc to output a constant stream of full-motion videos on a large disc, such as Dragon's Lair, or classic 2D games that attempted recreating realistic movements through the use of rotoscopy, the ancestor of motion-capture, as was the case with Prince of Persia. Games that offered real-time graphics to offer a truly movie-like experience, however, could not yet be considered as feasible. However, Another World, or Out of this World as it is known outside of Europe, attempted to fill that gap, through clever uses of the technology of the era. First seeing a release on the two popular micro computers of the era, the Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST, the game quickly saw ports to the SNES, Mega Drive and many other formats of the time, bringing the wowing experience to as many people as possible who will remember it to this day as being a unique and ground-breaking experience. Fast-forward to 2014 and the HD re-edition of the game released a few years back on PC for its 20th anniversary finally lands on consoles. Here Cubed3 takes a look at the Wii U version.
The game opens on Professor Lester, who experiments on antimatter creation using an underground synchrotron during a thunderstorm when his lab is struck by lightning and the experiment, going badly wrong, sends him into what seems to be another dimension - a totally different planet, inhabited by all kinds of monster-like creatures and a humanoid race of aggressive aliens.
What sets the experience offered by Another World well apart from anything else is how the player is thrown into control and action right off the bat without a single idea of what he or she has to do or how to accomplish it. This is indeed truly a trial-and-error and riddle solving experience, from beginning to end. Additionally, what little story there is gets told through cut-scenes devoid of any dialogue, other than the occasional line of indecipherable alien language, and yet everything still manages to make perfect sense, which in itself is quite an accomplishment. Back then, the lack of dialogue could easily be attributed to technical limitations, but nowadays most game designers would shudder at the idea of conveying a story with no text or voiceover whatsoever. Another World, for this alone, deserves its title of landmark masterpiece in the history of gaming.
The player is sent into the action as soon as arriving on the planet, and has to battle for their life through unexpected situations from beginning to end, requiring multiple attempts to figure out the way out of a tight situation, which is easier said than done. For example, Lester gets thrown in jail very early in the story and has to escape his cell, with explanation. Even as he does so, he has to run down unknown corridors, pursued by guards that shoot on sight! Little does the player know that the three-pixel-tall black line lying on the ground near the wreck of his cell is the laser gun that was carried by the guard he just killed! However, even when picked up from the ground, sure enough it's easy to press a button to shoot, but this alone isn't enough to survive the next few seconds of being chased by guards. It must be discovered that holding down the shooting button for a while can summon a force field to block enemy fire or that the gun runs out of energy if used too liberally, or even that it holds yet another unexplained function!
The player literally IS Lester, in all his lost and confused feeling of desperation, in the midst of action. That, while it may seem frustrating and clunky for some, will appear as simply genius to others as it works better than a lot of modern games at immersing the player into the action of the game.
Scene after scene unfolds, and should death occur, Lester is sent back to a previous checkpoint, which auto-saves progression through the game, with the main menu allowing previous points in the story to be visited without the need for passwords, as had previously been the case in the SNES version, for instance. Speaking of which, the amount of checkpoints has been at least doubled, meaning that death won't be as punishing this time as it used to be in the original versions. While this will make the experience less frustrating, it will also make it much shorter. Indeed, not having to go back too far after dying means that the game doesn't have to be mastered quite as much as it used to require and means that less time will also be required to finish it, thus diminishing its longevity. It doesn't make the whole experience less enjoyable, though, instead merely offering less worth for money spent, which is unfortunate.
What else does Another World 20th Anniversary Edition bring? Well, the HD visuals, other than upping considerably the native resolution of the game on Wii U, do add a decent amount of detail as well that was previously not included. They do not add anything to gameplay or the story, but do make the whole scenery nicer to look at. It is still possible to revert the 1991 original's graphics at a press of the Y button for those who wonder how the game used to look, but most people won't want to have to suffer the limitations of old when the new look is definitely much more enjoyable. The sound part has also been spruced up a bit through re-mastered sound effects. However, those are not accompanied by any music, which makes the whole experience a bit too bland compared to the SNES - or even better yet Mega-CD - soundtracks, which did add to the experience. Fortunately The Lounge Factory did include the latter, along with the original sound effects, which should be the preferred setup for most players out there.
The problem with the controls of such games that aimed at reproducing realistic movements back in the days when this first released still exist in this updated edition, namely the character having to wait to finish a sequence of several frames of animations before being allowed to jump. This makes it sometimes an exercise in frustration to accurately time jumps. Thankfully, otherwise it controls mostly fine on the whole.
The original game hasn't aged particularly well, so the new lick of paint is a most welcomed addition that makes the whole thing much prettier to look at. Its simplistic look may not be to everyone's taste, but this game has to be taken more as a landmark piece of abstract, Picasso-like video game art, rather than an attempt at realism, when compared to contemporary efforts. Another World was a necessary step forward in the advancement of video game graphics in order for gamers to appreciate the level of detail enjoyed nowadays in video-games.
Several sound options are present, one offering re-mastered sound effects and little to no music at all, another offering the original sound effects and the same very minimalistic music, while a third combines the original sound effects with the preferred soundtrack from the Sega Mega CD version, which is definitely the way to go for the best immersion into this virtual universe. It's a shame that the re-mastered sound effects cannot be combined with the CD soundtrack.
Value will all come down to how highly people who played the original hold it in esteem and how tolerant younger players (or people who never tried before) can be towards the minimalistic presentation of the game, as well as the total lack of guidance. The game is indeed incredibly short, and this version more so than any other before since it does add a lot of checkpoints where there were none in the SNES version, for example. This makes the whole game much easier to finish, even on the "hard" difficulty setting. Six hours of playtime will be required, at most, to finish the game on a first run, and then less than an hour - even on the hardest difficulty setting - on any subsequent run, which is fairly short even for the price.
Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition takes a beloved classic of the past that hasn't necessarily aged very well and brings to players who are hungry for monuments of gaming history just the version they needed to finally take a dive if they hadn't already. Those who played it back when first released may find here a good reason to dive in again on their Wii U and reminisce youth, albeit at a kind of a steep price. Waiting on a discount may be a good idea for those who have their hesitations as the game is indeed fairly short and ultimately doesn't bring much more than HD enhanced graphics, an easier difficulty on the whole, and a lacklustre revamped collection of sound effects. Nevertheless, the simplistic design, HD rendition, great CD soundtrack of the Mega CD version, and the overall intriguing experience of trial-and-error still stand out well enough to make this a worthwhile purchase for those looking for a unique experience on the eShop at the moment.

Best Neighborhood Bar/West
Sports Grill is as relaxed as a bettor on the upside of a fourth-quarter blowout. For seventeen years this casual bar -- with décor heavy on little plastic Bud dirigibles and Miami Heat logos -- has provided Kendall with a place to drink, eat, and watch televised sports (not necessarily in that order). There are eight television sets placed around the room and an electronic ticker that announces upcoming games. A couple of rows of picnic tables on raised platforms seat diners who can accompany pitchers of frosty suds with the standard bar fare of burgers, chili, conch fritters.... Foodwise Sports Grill scores most of its points for its chicken wings, which come in five varieties, including Miami Heats and Bar-B-Q Braves. The windows and doors are tinted so that the only time that matters inside the bar is when the next game begins.

Is there much chance NBA players will have any more luck with their legal strategy to dissolve their union than their NFL counterparts did in their failed bid to end a lockout by asserting antitrust violations?
Not likely, but there are differences in the two cases.
At the heart of the NFL victory over its player's union, the 8th Circuit of the Court of Appeals cited the Norris-La Guardia Act, a 1932 law that bars injunctions by federal courts against labor disputes not deemed violent. The players union had argued that Norris-LaGuardia applies only to cases in which the employee side was represented by a union, which they had eliminated by dissolving theirs. A district court agreed, but the 8th Circuit Appeals Court didn't and ruled in favor of the league. The players basically argued that the spirit of Norris-La Gaurdia, a product of the 1930s-era clashes between businesses and labor unions, carries an implication that a labor dispute inherently involves a union. But the law itself doesn't say that a union is a necessary party, therefore the players' tactic to decertify wasn't relevant. It was still a labor dispute.
But the NBA case differs in some ways. First off, they've availed themselves of high powered attorney David Boies. The players are seeking monetary damages, not an injunction to lift the lockout. That could reduce or eliminate the relevance of Norris-La Guardia, which highlights injunctions, as a legal tool for the owners. Also, notes antitrust expert Joseph Bauer, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, part of the players' suit was filed in California's 9th Circuit, a bastion of liberal legal thought more prone to being worker friendly than 8th Circuit in Minnesota ( even when the workers are millionaires). Still, it's an uphill battle for the players. "It's the same negotiations involving the same parties that were in the union," says Bauer, hitting on the owners' argument that the players' decision to dissolve the union is nothing more than a negotiating ploy and should carry little weight.
Another way the players could get creative: pointing out the number of recent draft picks and free agent hopefuls were not part of the union when negotiations started. In their case, there is no indistinguishable carryover from union to non-union because they weren't members in the first place. With only two draft rounds, "many players not drafted aspire to be NBA players, and they'd say they weren't subject to the rules," says Bauer. In other words, even if a court essentially believes the dissolution of the NBPA to be a tactical ruse, it may not matter if enough players seeking damages were non-union members anyway.
In the end, chances are that an agreement will be ironed out before any legal finding. The threat to the owners may coax them into giving a bit more to make a deal, though probably not very much. The details differ from the NFL case, but the basic concept doesn't. Players are still essentially saying that because we're not suddenly not a union, you owe us. It's a stretch. Bauer notes that courts tend to see an implied carry over for a period of time; that is, they still essentially see a union a short time after it's dissolved. Theoretically, that means the players would have a better shot if they waited, say, five years after dissolving to bring a legal case for damages.
Then again, we are talking about California.
