And with Trek being dumbed down to appeal to the mass mainstream folks who watch Jersey Shore, Dancing with the Stars, TMZ and other rubbish, I don't exactly call that a success....just sanitized, sterilized, pasturized and homogenized to make ole' Joe Sixpack and Plain Jane happy.
If it was that dumbed down, how was it one of the best reviewed films of the year? This wasn't Transformers, where critics thought it was shit, but it made $500 million dollars. Those people, who you know, have studied film, and review it for a living, loved it. Or are they all just Joe Sixpack now, and YOU know something they all don't about film?
I don't read/watch film reviews.
Plus seeing as how popcorn action flicks are what masses watch, it's a no brainer.
So instead of arguing the point, you ignore it? You still haven't shown how it was dumbed down for the masses, despite the fact that you INSIST it was.
And going by this list:
In the top ten of the highest grossing films of all time, I count...two...popcorn action flicks, and that is if you include Avatar in that category of film.
Your argument isn't based in reality. Sorry.

Mafia, Palermo
1 Reviews
1 Reviews
Favorite thing:
If you wanna understand a little better Sicilia, take a look at the movie 'The Godfather', by F.F.Coppola; if possible, the 3 parts.
Inevitably the dark lure of The Honorable Society hangs over Palermo and it's tempting to believe every dapper chap with a shiny suit is a Don. You can visit (or stay in) the Hotel Grande Albergo & Delle Palme on Via Roma, where Lucky Luciano kept a suite and 'the five families' divided up the world's drug trade in October 1957. You can see Ucciardone, the gaunt and daunting Bourbon prison said to house 400 mafiosi.
You can even make the trek out to the infamous mountain town of Corleone (about 50 kms. south of Palermo), but the locals must be fed up with prurient tourists.
Instead, the most powerful monument to the legacy of the mafia is on a nondescript traffic island in Piazza XIII Vittime. Here tattered banners, like so many Buddhist prayer flags, fly to honor those who've given their lives in the fight against this insidious Sicilian cancer.

1. The Ducks are who we thought they were. It's just not accurate to say we learned anything new about Oregon in their 48-29 Friday night win over Arizona . We knew already they were as dominant a second-half team as any in the country (save maybe their likely BCS title game foils at Auburn ), and that's how they played. We knew already with weapons like LaMichael James, Darron Thomas and even the ever-more-terrifying Josh Huff , the Ducks could put up nearly 50 points without even being particularly sharp in the first half, and that's what they did. We knew that playing in the comfort zone of Autzen Stadium, they were going to win and win comfortably when all was said and done, and in the end the Wildcats feel by nearly three touchdowns. (We also knew their defense could have the occasional
In short, we knew that Oregon was the 2010 Pac-10 champion and almost certainly on their way to the BCS championship game, and that's what we still know. If there was anything surprising about their dismantling of the Wildcats, it was the realization that by this point of the season, Oregon's championship-caliber excellence isn't even surprising any more.
2. And yeah, you can forget about them choking away that title berth in the Civil War. Mike Riley will almost certainly have his Oregon State team ready to play a competitive game against their archrivals at home in Corvallis, but it's hard to imagine that he has the horses to actually finish off the hypothetical shocker of the season, not when two of the Beavers' previous three results are a home loss to Washington State and today's hideous 38-0 whitewashing at the hands of Stanford . The Cardinal are legitimately playing as well as any team in the country right now, but still; fewer than 300 total yards an zero points doesn't exactly portend the kind of offensive explosion that will be necessary to stay with the Ducks.
3. USC is ready for its season to be over. The Oregon State result sandwiched between the aforementioned losses to Wazzu and Stanford? An inexplicable-looking 36-7 demolition of the Trojans that this space immediately chalked up to USC's longtime tendency to break into football hives upon crossing the Oregon border. But after watching USC's listless, often yawn-inducing performance in a 20-16 loss to a Notre Dame team that at times seemed determined to give the game away -- Irish quarterback Tommy Rees threw three interceptions, more than one of the highly charitable variety -- it may be time to wonder if Lane Kiffin is still able to get through to a team with nothing to play for other than pride.
Now, true, the Trojans still would have pulled out the victory if Ronald Johnson hadn't dropped a certain game-winning reception late, and the absence of Matt Barkley (coupled with a shaky-looking first start from Mitch Mustain , who averaged less than 5 yards an attempt and failed to throw a touchdown pass) no doubt didn't help USC's cause in the least, either. But for a team playing its oldest and arguably biggest rival, the spark needed to really get the Trojan blood pumping (and the crowd involved) seemed curiously absent. Maybe it was the rain. But maybe it's just Week 12 of a season whose self-described bowl game took place a month ago.
4. The end to one team's bowl streak is just the start of someone else's. Or so it would appear after Washington edged Cal 16-13 to pull within a game of bowl eligibility at 5-6, with only the feeble specter of Washington State (surely not due for two major upsets this season) standing in the way of the Huskies' first postseason appearance since 2002. Steve Sarkisian 's second season in charge hasn't always lived up to the outsized expectations of the preseason, but at least he can point towards some concrete progress.
Unfortunately for Jeff Tedford , unless you count the upcoming long-since-overdue renovations to the Bears' Memorial Stadium, "concrete progress" seems further away than ever. Kevin Riley 's career-ending injury a few weeks back appears to have been a fatal dagger for Cal's bowl hopes, which finally dissolved in the loss and resulting final record of 5-7. The record is the worst of Tedford's nine-year Cal tenure, with the Bears missing the postseason for the first time since -- whaddya know -- 2002. Tedford's not in any kind of trouble just yet (don't forget that Cal was hands-down the worst program in the Pac-10 when he took over), but the heady mid-aughts days when the Bears were serious Rose Bowl and BCS contenders have never seemed further away than they did on Saturday.
5. Rick Neuheisel had better have something more up his sleeve this offseason than just canning Norm Chow. Because when you give up 55 points to Arizona State 's backup quarterback , your offensive coordinator is pretty obviously not the only thing wrong with your football team.

From experience Don A. Goldberg http://www.dagcamera.com/
and by reputation Sherry Krauter http://www.sherrykrauter.com/
Both have been around a long time. Sherry was Leitz tech, and Don may be factory trained as well. I think Sherry does Leica rangefinders only. Don does the SL and R series and other brands as well. Both have excellent reputations and reasonable fees.
edit: I see Richard beat me by a minute.

Sean McCorkle apologizes for innapropriate joke
I'm sorry for the Evan Tanner joke

This may be true but I think in the long run its gonna affect him negatively.

Zippy is his own worst enemy lol. He's a good idea overall but damn he fucks himself hard sometimes
8/1/11 2:40 PM by KevinMcAllister
^^^although thats the only issue, is that he's a mod. he gets too aggro with people too easily.if he was a regular poster nobody would give a shit
8/1/11 2:38 PM by KevinMcAllister
zippy bringing up tanners percieved flaws as justification for mccorkles lame joke is WORSE than mccorkles joke in general.he's a horrendous mod.

A) The joke wasn't funny. Not because it was about Tanner, because it just wasn't that funny. Like, if you're going to tackle making a Tanner joke, you need to build up to it and it better be a real zinger!B) Zippy is right, on this threadC) Zippy is not a particularly good moderatorD) I WOULD tell McCorkle to eat a bowl of dicks to his face...what's he gonna do really? Would he even get mad? I kinda doubt it. I think he would probably laugh. I would also make funny faces at him and possibly blow him a kiss. I wouldn't do these things to a lot of people, not even a lot of fighters, but I would to Sean McCorkle...if he can tell a joke he ought to be able to take one.
8/1/11 4:38 AM by Suplush
zippy would gladly eat a bowl of McCorkle dick
8/1/11 2:19 AM by Hemlock
I'm not sure what it is you have here with this issue and specifically with McCorkle. It's a little school-girlish. Everyone appreciates you should stand up for your house-guests Zippy, but for you to believe that there should be a banning because someone was told to "eat a bowl of dicks" is a blatant reach. How can you not see that in context?Fighters get variable opinion on this web site. They always have. It is what it is. If Kirik's desire for all negative commentary on fighter behavior, professional or personal, to be deleted was applied evenly then site content would drop by half. There is some shit that is not socially acceptable, for example attacks on family eg. Tito. But commentary on a fighter's public conduct, positive or negative, should not be shot down.McCorkle clearly knows the value, AND the pitfalls of this site. He has reaped and suffered both. "Eat a bowl of dicks" would rank about 20000th on the list of snipes on this site, and McCorkle likely owns several of them in the top 100.Like I said, you must be fucking joking.

The New Left Wing
THUS FAR, we have been tracing the development of the historic Left Wing. We are now on the eve of the development of the specific Left Wing that led directly to the organization of the American Communist movement.
The transition started with the shot at Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. The Bosnian student who fired the bullet into the neck of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand also fired into the heart of the international Socialist movement.
In the face of the war the Marxist tradition proved inadequate. That tradition was far from clear cut. Until almost the end of their lives, Marx and Engels had taken the position that wars were engines of social progress and that the most "progressive" side deserved to win. Far from opposing or discouraging war, they had preached and pleaded for several kinds of war, especially one against Czarist Russia, in their view the principal bastion of European reaction. In 1848 they demanded war on Russia to free Poland and save the German revolution; in the Crimean War of 1853 they supported Turkey against Russia and berated England and France for taking so long to get into it; in 1859 they wanted Austria to defeat France; in 1866 they preferred to see Prussia defeated by Austria; in 1870 they favored Germany in the war against France and then changed sides after the German armies occupied Paris; in 1877-78, they were again pro-Turkish in the war against Russia. This tradition prevailed

I have been using wp easy seo, is there a benefit in using seo ultimate as well? Will they work together or will it create problems to have both running?
I have been running seo pressor with seo ultimate which seemed to be ok so i assume that wp easy seo will fit in nicely with it too rather than seo pressor.
Does seo ultimate replace any of the following plugins?

Villeurbanne : Michelin's recommendations
The "Villa Urbana" of the Romans may very well adjoin Lyons but it zealously maintains its independence! In the 19C, the silk merchants brought about the first boom, but it was during the 20C that the town's development increased and the skyscraper quarter developed. Today, the city counts on its culture: apart from the media library entrusted to Mario Botta, an Institute of Contemporary Art, a Centre for Antique Dealers, it has welcomed the TNP directed by Roger Planchon.

Why open source matters
When Cloudera's chief architect Doug Cutting founded the Apache Hadoop project, it was with an open source vision firmly in mind. Since Cloudera's inception in 2008, we have been strongly committed to a community-driven, open source, Hadoop-based platform based on open standards.
Cloudera Brings Open Source Benefits to Customers
These benefits of open source--most important, freedom from lock-in--are powerful and time-tested. That said, they are just "table stakes" when deploying a strategic open source platform like Hadoop.
Cloudera also leads the way to support the entire open source platform for customers, not just the core (HDFS + MapReduce/YARN), and to ensure that customer needs for multitenant performance, availability, and security are met by the Apache code base.
With far more customers in production and far more enterprise experience than any other Hadoop vendor, Cloudera is uniquely qualified to understand their needs and has proven to be the best partner for meeting them.
Facts about Cloudera & open source
- Cloudera is the first and original source of a supported, 100% open source Hadoop distribution (CDH) – which has been downloaded more than all others combined.
- Cloudera has contributed more code and features to the Hadoop ecosystem, not just the core (HDFS, MapReduce/YARN), and shipped more of them, than any competitor.
- Cloudera employs the most contributors and committers across the entire ecosystem, not just the core.
- Cloudera employees have founded more (19) successful Hadoop ecosystem projects than any competitor.
- Approximately 52% of all Hadoop-related tickets that are closed/resolved by a distribution vendor employee are assigned to Cloudera employees (source: Apache JIRA), and our support engineers are omnipresent on project mailing lists (and in some cases, write patches themselves).
- Cloudera engineers currently occupy nearly 90 Apache Committer seats across all Hadoop projects and several employees are ASF Members (the foundation's highest level of merit).

I recently built a box with spiral BLB. I placed them 6in OC also, am currently using 6, but only printing 8x10. I built the box much bigger so in the future I could make bigger prints and add more sockets with bulbs. My contact frame was about 3in from the bulbs, and I had no problems with light fall off.
I ordered my bulbs from Bulbman (LINK). They are 27w bulbs for $12.50 each, only a dollar more than the 20w.
I have been only doing some test prints for kallitypes to determine exposure times. The last test I did was for 2.5 minutes, and I believe I can still decrease the time.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Partition refinement
In the design of algorithms, partition refinement is a technique for representing a partition of a set as a data structure that allows the partition to be refined by splitting its sets into a larger number of smaller sets. In that sense it is dual to the union-find data structure, which also maintains a partition into disjoint sets but in which the operations merge pairs of sets together. More specifically, a partition refinement algorithm maintains a family of disjoint sets Si; at the start of the algorithm, this is just a single set containing all the elements in the data structure. At each step of the algorithm, a set X is presented to the algorithm, and each set Si that contains members of X is replaced by two sets, the intersection Si ∩ X and the difference Si \ X. Partition refinement forms a key component of several efficient algorithms on graphs and finite automata.[1][2][3]
Data structure[edit]
A partition refinement algorithm may be implemented by maintaining an object for each set that stores a collection of its elements, in a form such as a doubly linked list that allows for rapid deletion, and an object for each element that points to the set containing it. Alternatively, element identifiers may be stored in an array, ordered by the sets they belong to, and sets may be represented by start and end indices into this array.[4][5] With either of these representations, each set should also have an instance variable that may point to a second set into which it is being split.
To perform a refinement operation, loop through the elements of X. For each element x, find the set Si containing x, and check whether a second set for Si has already been formed. If not, create the second set and add Si to a list L of the sets that are split by the operation. Then, regardless of whether a new second set was formed, remove x from Si and add it to the second set. In the representation in which all elements are stored in a single array, moving x from one set to another may be performed by swapping x with the final element of Si and then decrementing the end index of Si and the start index of the new set. Finally, after all elements of X have been processed in this way, loop through L, separating each current set Si from the second set that has been split from it, and report both of these sets as newly formed sets from the refinement operation.
The time to perform the refinement operations in this way is O(|X|), independent of the number of elements or the total number of sets in the data structure.
An early application of partition refinement was in an algorithm by Hopcroft (1971) for DFA minimization. In this problem, one is given as input a deterministic finite automaton, and must find an equivalent automaton with as few states as possible. The algorithm maintains a partition of the states of the input automaton into subsets, with the property that any two states in different subsets must be mapped to different states of the output automaton; initially, there are two subsets, one containing all the accepting states and one containing the remaining states. At each step one of the subsets Si and one of the input symbols x of the automaton are chosen, and the subsets of states are refined into states for which a transition labeled x would lead to Si, and states for which an x-transition would lead somewhere else. When a set Si that has already been chosen is split by a refinement, only one of the two resulting sets (the smaller of the two) needs to be chosen again; in this way, each state participates in the sets X for O(s log n) refinement steps and the overall algorithm takes time O(ns log n), where n is the number of initial states and s is the size of the alphabet.[6]
Partition refinement was applied by Sethi (1976) in an efficient implementation of the Coffman–Graham algorithm for parallel scheduling. Sethi showed that it could be used to construct a lexicographically ordered topological sort of a given directed acyclic graph in linear time; this lexicographic topological ordering is one of the key steps of the Coffman–Graham algorithm. In this application, the elements of the disjoint sets are vertices of the input graph and the sets X used to refine the partition are sets of neighbors of vertices. Since the total number of neighbors of all vertices is just the number of edges in the graph, the algorithm takes time linear in the number of edges, its input size.[7]
Partition refinement also forms a key step in lexicographic breadth-first search, a graph search algorithm with applications in the recognition of chordal graphs and several other important classes of graphs. Again, the disjoint set elements are vertices and the set X represent sets of neighbors, so the algorithm takes linear time.[8][9]

Politics Counts
The poster child for floppy eared Affirmative Action couldn't organize a community to do this:
Obama will soon recognize what Romney has to offer and hire him for a position in his second term. Romney's new title: Special Administrator of Swiss offshore equity and banking reserves.
Romney proven gay bashing young man that suddenly turned coward during draft time of Vietnam.
Given what austerity is doing to the Europeans, both these guys are clueless.
That said, Romney wants even deeper austerity than Obama is currently engaging in, so clearly he is more clueless.
Let's be real: if you're not worth at least $25 million, Mitt Romney has no concept of how you live. Obama? Who knows, but his background is a lot more humble. Romney's patrician aloofness from most voters screams an inability to relate to people who aren't mega-rich or walking spreadsheets.
12:15 i lived in massachusetts when mitt was governor there. i am middleclass. i never once felt that he didn't know what my challenges were. i was proud to call him my governor, and would be even prouder to call him my president.
oh, mitt can't sing al green songs as well as obozo? well, i'm for more green in my pocket and the only thing obozo wants to do is take it from me to give to someone else. that's the name of his tune.
"The poster child for floppy eared Affirmative Action couldn't organize a community to do this:"
How dare anyone suggest that conservatives are racist.
Obama sings Al Green better, and more sincerely, than Romney warbles "America the Beautiful," that's for sure.
"i lived in massachusetts when mitt was governor there. i am middleclass. i never once felt that he didn't know what my challenges were. i was proud to call him my governor, and would be even prouder to call him my president."
Wasn't that back when Romney was a liberal?
He was conservative before he was a liberal. And he was a liberal before that, but only on Saturdays. Before that he was somewhat conservative, but it was under duress and thus not of his free choice. Before that, slightly to the liberal side but not too liberal such that he might be called on it later. Before that, kind of conservative, but compassionately and with feeling. Before that, way liberal, but this was the 'dark period' when he really wasn't too sure of anything. Before that, way way to the right, but he had a good reason.
OK, that takes care of 2012. We'll get to 2011 later.
1:16 if that's what you look for in a president u r pathetic.
1:41 obozo was against gay marriage before he 'evolved' defintion of evolved: a democrat flipflop
Bob Bell ( the real Bozo) was able to pass the induction examination for the Marines by memorizing eye charts, because he had no vision in his right eye. He then served his country in the Pacific Theater until 1946. I'm pretty sure that, even after forty years of children's television broadcasting, he had little impact on Romney's character.
Obama is the out of tune one....he wouldn't even hear his own moderate Democrats when they kept saying NO to the healthcare bill. But hey, with time and buying some votes, he pushed it through.
Leadership we can count on. Not.
Obama is out of tune....he promised shovel ready to desperate people, then giggled that his stimulus full of pork ( after he and Pelosi promised there would be NONE) was not as shovel ready as expected.
Tone deaf...the man is tone deaf.
dense do not saY we. you are you a special nuttier variety of wingnut Obama hater
9:27 actually, denise speaks for the majority this time around. the emperor suddenly is seen for what he is and he ain't wearing a stitch...hahahahahaha!
He is worse than tone deaf. He has divided people....people who need someone to "hate" during a recession that has been poorly handled. Diversion really.
The system suckers who want something for nothing, and hard core liberals wearing blinders are hating on the one percent.
The same tactic was used in Germany many years ago......except replace Jews for the one percent.
We are more racially and socially divided than I can remember. If nothing else, that is a good reason not to re-elect this man who cannot seem to lead for politicing.
Good morning conservative anonymous @405......yes he is naked, and don't you look, or you may turn into a pillar of stone.
....or salt.
Romney out of tune, out of rythm, out of ideas.
dense .... out of her mind.

Helpful Definition for: Aircraft
An 'aircraft' in Sunderland can be termed as a vehicle which has been created in such a way so that it can glide through the air easily. The aircraft travels through air, defying gravity by the mechanism of aerodynamics. Airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, etc., are different variations of aircraft. Even rocket planes and cruise missiles can be labeled as aircraft.
Aircraft can be categorized as manned and unmanned. Airplanes, helicopters, etc., which have a crew to guide its movement are said to be manned aircraft and missiles, rocket planes are said to be unmanned as they are totally remote-controlled and do not have any human being inside these aircraft.
Classification of aircraft in Sunderland is done on the basis of different criteria like the propelling force, lift-type, and usage.
- On the basis of types of lift, they can be categorized into aerostats, aerodynes, fixed wing, etc.
- On the basis of propulsion, they can be classified as powered and unpowered.
- On the basis of usage, they can be classified as military, commercial, civil, and general.
Gliders, jet planes, helicopters, airplanes, propellers, balloons, sea planes, flying boats, etc, are various types of aircraft which are used to fulfill different purposes. The airplanes are the most popular among these aircraft. Airplanes are used by the common people in a major way for travelling from one place to another by air.

Japan May Raise GDP Estimate as Companies Increase Spending
Japan's economy probably grew faster last quarter than the government initially estimated, analysts said after a report showed companies boosted spending for the first time in more than three years.
Gross domestic product expanded an annualized 4.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with a preliminary reading of 3.9 percent, according to the median forecast of 10 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. A Finance Ministry report today showed capital spending excluding software rose 4.8 percent, a figure that will be used to calculate revised GDP due Dec. 9.
The rebound in business investment may not be strong enough to counter slowing growth in exports, which pulled Japan out of its deepest postwar recession in 2008-2009. The yen's 10 percent advance against the dollar this year is threatening the profits of exporters and eroding the competitiveness of Japanese companies aboard.
"Japan's capital investment is rising at an extremely slow pace," said Yoshimasa Maruyama, a senior economist at Itochu Corp. in Tokyo, who forecasts the economy will contract this quarter. "It's hard for companies to anticipate any robust demand at home and the yen's strength is clouding the outlook for exports."
The preliminary report released last month showed the third-quarter growth was led by private consumption, which accounted for about 60 percent of GDP. Households rushed to buy cars before the end of the government's subsidy program and smokers stocked up before an Oct. 1 tobacco-tax increase.
Not Strong Enough
"Today's report confirms that capital spending has remained relatively strong, but in the long run, this economic recovery hasn't been strong enough to enable more aggressive increases in capital spending," said Hiroshi Miyazaki, chief economist at Shinkin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo.
Government data so far for October have provided early signs that the country's economy will likely shrink this quarter. Industrial output had the biggest drop since February 2009 and the jobless rate unexpectedly climbed. Retail sales declined for the first time this year, while export growth slowed.
Japan's GDP is expected to contract at a 0.9 percent annualized pace in the three months through December, according to a survey of 42 economists by the Japanese government-affiliated Economic Planning Association.
Prolonged Deflation
"A gradual recovery may continue for capital spending, but companies probably can't be positive about their sales outlook because of prolonged deflation," said Yuichi Kodama, economist at Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Co., Japan's third-biggest life insurer. "In that sense, any recovery in capital spending won't be strong enough to become the driving force for the recovery."
A rebound in earnings driven by corporate cost cuts and demand in emerging nations has been tempered by the yen's advance, which is eroding the competitiveness of Japanese exporters overseas.
Sales rose 6.5 percent in the third quarter, slowing from 20.3 percent in the previous three months, while profits climbed 54.1 percent after a 83.4 percent increase in the second quarter, today's report showed.
Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., a Japanese drugmaker, last month cut its full-year profit forecast, citing the strong yen. Nikon Corp., a maker of cameras, lenses and chip-making equipment, lowered its full-year operating profit and revenue forecasts because of the currency's advance.
Stimulus Package
The Japanese parliament passed on Nov. 26 an extra budget to fund Prime Minister Naoto Kan's stimulus package aimed at fighting deflation and combating the stronger yen. To foster growth, the Bank of Japan cut its benchmark interest rate and created an asset-purchase fund to buy government and corporate debt and assets such as real estate investment trusts and exchange-traded funds in October.
Kubota Corp., Asia's largest farm equipment maker, said last month that first-half profit rose 33 percent on increased sales in the U.S., Europe and Asia outside Japan.
Bridgestone Corp., the world's largest tiremaker, said in October that it will invest 24 billion yen to increase production capacity for large tires and steel cords for vehicles used by construction and mining companies.

Poway schools chief nets top pay package
High cost of school bond shocks Poway Unified
Poway Unified residents fume over expensive bond
The top compensated superintendent in the county is John Collins of Poway Unified, a district that made national news this year with a $105 million bond deal that will cost taxpayers ten times that amount to pay back over 40 years.
His compensation was $386,000, which included a $67,000 retirement benefit payout and an $18,000 longtime service bonus, according to a survey by The Watchdog of 42 districts.
Collins' package is $80,000 more than San Diego Unified's chief, Bill Kowba, who stewards a district with three times the number of students as Poway.
"Dr. Collins is the CEO of a top-performing school district and is responsible for a $250 million dollar annual budget, managing thousands of employees and providing a high quality educational experience for over 35,000 students," board member Marc Davis said. "His compensation should and does reflect these weighty responsibilities and the skills he brings to his position."
Lauren Van Tyne, a Poway resident and parent, has her concerns about district financial decisions. She said her fifth-grade daughter attends a class with 36 students and whose teacher frequently asks parents to help by donating supplies.
"Our classrooms are struggling; I'm sure $67,000 would buy plenty papers and pencils," Van Tyne said. "I am not surprised, unfortunately."
Collins, a 23-year veteran, did not return several phone calls for comment to his office and his home on Friday. His district has been under fire this year for the structure of its capital-appreciation bonds, which come with no payments for 20 years followed by balloon payments in the out years.
The Watchdog distributed its survey on Oct. 3 to update a 2010 review of superintendent pay. Thirty five of the 42 districts have responded.
Originally, Poway declined to answer questions, instead providing a copy of Collins' contract without releasing actual compensation drawn under its provisions. District officials did provide details on Friday afternoon.
Collins' base salary is $235,000, the sixth highest among the region's school chiefs.
The district also pays $38,000 for his medical benefits, the highest of any of the superintendents surveyed; a $2,500 stipend for earning his doctorate degree; and $3,856 contribution to Medicare. The district contributes $21,000 to his retirement and pays the $18,000 bonus for longtime service.
Collins' contract also includes a clause under which the district makes an annual contribution that he can either cash out or use to purchase additional retirement credits from the state. He chose to cash the contribution out this year, for $67,000.
"Whatever salary he is being paid is approved by the board, so if the board is willing to compensate him to that level, it's their choice," said Pedro Garcia, a professor of clinical education at the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.

I've been looking for a good price on Minky Dot so I can make a robe like the one in the current issue (number 2) of Sew Simple magazine. They all seem so expensive though around $18/yd, out of my budget.
I found that Chenilleplace.com has it on sale for $12.95.
Does anyone else know of a cheaper price than this? -- Edited on 7/26/06 5:00 PM --
------Teach the children how to think, not what to think! - Sydney Sugarman
If it's genuine Minkee then that's a very good price. it typically runs $16.50/yd.
I get a good minkee knock-off in the garment district and pay 7-8 for it. I can only tell it's a knock-off when i put it beside the real stuff and pet it.

"A woman who works with her hands is a laborer; a woman who works with her hands and her mind is a craftsman; but a woman who works with her hands and her brain and her heart is an artist." (St. Thomas Aquinas, modified)
What is genuine Minkee? I'm afraid I wouldn't know the difference.
Minkee is a trade name and is manufactured by Benartex. The high end knockoffs are nearly indistinguishable.
Hi Katy Sews,
I sew with minkee and I love it - best regular prices I have found are at fabricdepot.com (13.97 per yd after 30% off) and overrainbow.com (13.75 per yd). These prices are for the dimple dot minkee which is more expensive than the plush. The overrainbow minkee is the Benartex brand. As I said, these are the regular, not sale prices. Of course then there is shipping! Even with shipping I cannot find really nice minkee blankee or minky (the knockoffs) for less than 18-20 dollars a yard locally so I buy it online. You will love your robe! Sorry I don't know how to link for you. :>
Nancy's Notions has Oh So Soft for $11.98/yd. I think it's similar to Minkee.
Mary Jo's in Gastonia NC has something so similar to minky that I cannot tell them apart in my stash. I have bought some over the phone in the dot version for $10.95/yard. They seem to have lots of colors.
Is the back of it really supposed to be scratchy though? I felt the back of some Minkee yesterday in my local independant store and there was no way I'd have that against my skin no matter how pretty the front is. Do you line it with something? I don't remember the robe suggesting a lining.
Edit Oh yeesh, nevermind. I just looked at the pattern again and it looks self lined, which does look like it will feel luxurious.
-- Edited on 7/28/06 1:27 PM -- -- Edited on 7/28/06 1:28 PM --
I have the same question Katy Sews---is the Benartex Minkee rough on the back?
I have never worked with, nor even seen minky. Is it woven or knit? What is it generally used for?

Re: Thomas Edison crime fighter? NBC pilot in development
Even in he context of the continual torrent of bad broadcast TV ideas, this one is a standout. The deadline comments folks are suggesting Tesla as the hero, Edison as the villain, that could just work. Lose the wtf procedural angle, tho.

Is it really possible that I myself have no rights after my death? Lincoln gets turned into a vampire killer, Edison gets turned into a crime fighter... I kinda dislike stuff like that.
