- Easy fix to this oversized cowboy hat Review by Dugsterm
One size fits most apparently assumes we all have BIG heads. When these arrived we were disappointed that they were clearly WAY TOO BIG for most people -- even adult men. Almost returned them but other vendors with similar affordable bulk cowboy hats seem like they too could have this issue. On a fluke tried putting a 3-1/2" by 1/4" rubber band over the crown of the hat, seating it right along the black decor. It matched the color enough so was almost invisible. BINGO! They fit most everyone like a dream. I also tried tying a rolled up bandana around the crown and was able to adjust the fit that way. YEE HAW!!!

- Ehh Review by Christopher
Hats appear to be excellent quality. Unfortunately they swallow my head and were a lot larger than I expected. I assumed, by the picture, they would fit an adult female. These hats can actually turn 360º while on an adults head.

- Just what we were after. Review by cowgirl
We bought these to double as a decoration and for partygoers to wear on the dance floor. We hung 10 ft ribbons, attached a clothespin at the bottom and hooked the hats on. They were a good value and also held up with use throughout the evening.

Bought these as part of a chorus girl costume for a dance recital's version of "Don't Fence Me In"... almost alarmed that it was possible to find this much quality for such a low price... Excellent and fit our purposes to a T. Couldn't be happier with the product. Sure, if you are expecting the quality of a $60 hat for under $2, you're likely to be disappointed, but if so, probably this wa

Born into a musical family and being the son of a percussionist, Hiydrus was able to teach himself how to play the drums as a child. He worked on developing his craft through the years and began to pursue music full force in 2012.
Hiydrus' lethal skills on the mic and strong artistic output throughout the years are undeniable. Drawing from experiences and different cultures of the world, Hiydrus has the talent needed to be an unstoppable force in underground hip-hop. "Having the ability to travel and meet with other people from other countries and cultures to me has been the greatest opportunity so far. Many artists don't gt to see different countries and collaborate with artist from that country until they are on a bigger platform music wise. These influences sometimes come out in my lyrics about people and places I've been. This gives the listener something more than they would usually receive from your typical artist, at the very least a different view of a world outside theirs," he explains.
With rhymes that resonate with maturity, life experience, and a worldly understanding few can match, Hiydrus is here to make a statement. Working with artists and producers from Dubai, Poland, and the UK has allowed Hiydrus to create a diverse catalog of music. He is currently working on a mixtape set to be released later this year.
Wit a tireless work ethic, Hiydrus will continue to build future trough his love of creating music. "I also hope to connect with the listener in a way that helps him or her through tough times and most of all I hope to keep bringing originality to the industry. Work ethic and a strong sens of determination coming from someone that has been immersed in a multitude of cultures, bringing about different viewpoints, I hope to bring a little bi of everything I am made of in the end." Spoken like a true star.

While women make up 47% of the U.S. workforce, there is still a lot to be done towards gender equality and securing women's human rights. Globally, women's nominal wages are 17% lower than men's, although they hold many of the same jobs. This does not reflect equal rights for women. Instead, the rights to women seem to have been undercut. These organizations do what they can to foster leadership in women and progress for female human rights, whether it be through law, education, or activism.
Up to 70% of women face physical or sexual abuse by men in their lifetime. And 80% of human trafficking annually consists of women and girls. Human trafficking in women causes for a huge concern and many of these nonprofits help stop the human trafficking and support the cause.
These organizations help empower women despite the disadvantages society may grant them by teaching them leadership skills, offering counseling, and much more. They help to fight for the rights of women and for social justice for women, offering women the support necessary to combat issues like sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. Others provide places for people to be educated on the struggles women have faced in their history.
From domestic violence to economic equality to reproductive rights, women face struggles in many areas of their lives. There are thousands of organizations supporting women's rights and plenty of ways for you to get involved; find one now.

Amazing Race Winners Kelsey Gerckens and Joey Buttitta Talk Wedding Plans and Their Golden Doodle 'Dog-ter'
Originally posted 08/12/2016 03:40PM
The Amazing Race's reigning winners, Kelsey Gerckens and Joey Buttitta, are in full wedding-planning mode – and their ring-bearer is set to steal the spotlight on the big day.
The couple, who met on the job as TV reporters in Santa Barbara and got engaged last December after winning $1 million on the 27th season of the CBS series, are now "on wedding duty," Gerckens told PEOPLE on Thursday.
"We're trying to find a venue as we speak," she said alongside her fiancé at the PEOPLE VIP reception for the Hearts of Reality event in Orlando benefiting Give Kids the World. "We're just excited to celebrate with all our family, friends and to reconnect with the Amazing Race cast. We initially thought it would be small but now I think big. Probably around 200 people. We don't have a date yet – we're just enjoying being engaged."

Joslyn's Take:HOLY OMG Erin and I are really on The Amazing Race. This is really happening. What is my life? Those were my initial thoughts after watching episode one of The Amazing Race season 28. I'll happily admit that I'm openly biased because I think this cast is exceptional in every way possible, but putting all of that aside, as someone who's also watched almost every single season of the race, I think this first episode is easily the most laugh-out-loud funny episode I've ever seen!

Slow Down TallahasseeView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Hailing from Sheffield in the United Kingdom rather than the Florida city once celebrated by Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon, Slow Down Tallahassee are a female-led four-piece that fuses several generations of pop, from the Shangri-Las to Pulp, into a sound that's informed by the witty irony of contemporary indie rock as well as the sunny sincerity of the radio hits of the 1960s. The members of Slow Down Tallahassee claim to have met at a bar where they were all regulars, and decided to form a group of their own after bonding over classic soul singles and vintage disco. With Claire on guitar, keyboards, and vocals (sorry, no last named allowed!), Nicola on keyboards, harp, and vocals, Rich on guitar, and a drum machine handling the percussion, the group made its recorded debut with the single "So Much for Love" b/w "UR Grace UR" and "Candy," released in 2007 by local indie label The Sheffield Phonographic Corporation. The single received a handful of enthusiastic reviews, and Slow Down Tallahassee began playing clubs and indie festivals around the U.K. Originally Claire and Nicola had been trading off on bass guitar, but the group expanded to a four-piece with the addition of Rachel, who began providing the low end for the group. In the spring of 2008, Slow Down Tallahassee released their first full-length album, The Beautiful Light, as well as a download-only single of the title track.

List of accepted organizations released for Google Summer of Code 2011
Google has released the list of organisations that are accepted into this year's Google Summer of Code.
Google Summer of Code is a world-wide program that encourages students to participate in coding Open Source software by offering a paid stipend for participation in the project. Students are paired with a mentor from one of the registered projects.
The project started in 2005, and has sponsored over 4500 students to work with 3000 mentors in 100 countries. Some students had never participated in Open Source development before the project; others are able to use the stipend as a means to focus on contributing to their projects full-time over the summer period. Students gain experience in what it's like to engage in real-world software development and skills to help them find employment after their studies. Participating projects have the opportunity to recruit developers to continue contributing to the project after SoC is over, and benefit from the Open Source code that is produced during the program.
Google sponsored 1026 students in 2010, and expect the number to be higher in 2011. The program is currently accepting student applications - head on over to code.google.com/soc/ and apply!

LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin hasn't been around the Los Angeles Clippers long enough to tell stories of how bad things once were for what was long one of the most maligned franchises in pro sports history.
He's only heard about the team practicing and training at the Spectrum, a health club in the South Bay where players would lift weights alongside fans. He vaguely remembers that the Clippers were 19-63 before drafting him first overall in 2009. And he wasn't aware that the Clippers only had two winning seasons since 1977 prior to last season.
Griffin doesn't know how bad things really were but he certainly got a sense of it in his first two seasons on the team, before Chris Paul arrived last year. He heard the questions, he saw the turnout at games and, most of all, he saw the results. The Clippers were 61-103 in his first two seasons, the first of which he missed after suffering a stress fracture in his left knee.
"It used to be coming in to play the Clippers was the trip to Los Angeles when you could go out and enjoy yourself," Griffin said. "Now, every game we have the bull's-eye on us and we want to put it right back on them. We realize we have a target on our backs, and we've said that from the very beginning of the season. We know teams are pretty hyped to play us, whether we go there on the road or they come in to play us."
It took the Clippers some time to adjust to playing with that target. They lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Orleans Hornets early in the season and watched as both teams celebrated on their home floor as if they had just won the championship. Their 105-98 loss to New Orleans on Nov. 26, coming off a three-game road losing streak, was particularly hard to handle. The Hornets hit 15 3-pointers in the game and made sure the Clippers knew about it after each one went in.
When Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro heard that his players were upset with how the Hornets celebrated their win, he said: "If we played a lot better than we did, they wouldn't be celebrating. Guys are going to celebrate. It's a big win to beat us. So, take that as a compliment, but there's also responsibility that goes with that. If you don't want guys celebrating, then go do your job and we'll do the celebrating."
Since then, the Clippers have done their job and have done all the celebrating. They have won a franchise-record 13 straight games since Nov. 26, the longest winning streak in the NBA this season, and have beaten their opponents during the streak by an average margin of 15.6 points per game.
After the loss to New Orleans, Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler talked to the team about their new roles as the hunted. Every team that played the Clippers was looking to score a surprise knockout. It was up to the Clippers to throw the first punch and continue peppering their opponent with punches until the fight was over.
"We're fortunate enough to be in a situation where when we go into a game every night it's not necessarily about the other team," Paul said. "It's about what we do. I've been on teams where you go into a game thinking you have to play almost a perfect game to beat a certain team. Fortunately, we have a pretty good team."
If this season is going to be as special as the Clippers think it can be, they can no longer afford to lose home games to the likes of Cleveland and New Orleans or go on four-game losing streaks.
"It was funny. My rookie year when we would play teams and we didn't have a great record, it was more lighthearted," Griffin said. "The coaching staff would joke around with you. You could say something back to them that was a joke or joke with the other team. Now, everybody takes everything more personally because it is a big game. It's a game that they want to win, and we want to win even more. Every game is more businesslike."
Suns coach Alvin Gentry saw firsthand how bad the Clippers used to be. He was their head coach from 2000-03, going 89-133 before he was fired. Now as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, he has also seen firsthand in two losses this season how good the Clippers are.
"That is the best team we've played," Gentry told reporters Sunday after the Clippers beat the Suns 103-77. "They're deep. They've got all the ingredients to be a championship team. They've got a great leader in Chris Paul, a tremendous player in Blake Griffin, they're deep off the bench, they're very good defensively, they're very athletic. ... Don't know a weakness that they have, really."
As good as the Clippers have been, Paul knows the streak has to come to an end sooner or later. The way they've played and the lessons they've learned during the streak, however, don't have to end.
"At some point, hopefully not, we're probably going to lose," Paul said. "We just got to keep this same even keel and keep the same intensity. Right now, we're building an identity. We go into every game expecting to win. That's one of the biggest things that's changed around here."

BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
QuestBack, a global leader in enterprise feedback management (EFM) and Social CRM, predicts that brands and marketing organizations will turn to technology to tap into customers more efficiently, effectively and more holistically in 2013. The availability of advanced, user-friendly mobile feedback solutions will make it possible for organizations to connect with their customers when and how they want, enabling them to optimize business value and compete with bigger market players. QuestBack's 2013 outlook forecasts that while quality customer feedback will remain a critical piece of the business strategy, organizations will realize a 360-approach, including employee feedback, will separate the good from the great.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120723/546197 )
QuestBack's predictions for 2013:
1. Employee feedback as the business strategy linchpin - A critical focus for organizations will be to incorporate employee feedback into customer satisfaction creating a more customer-centric organization. By linking internal feedback to external customer information sources, organizations will have a clearer view of issues and will be better equipped to identify the root cause and resolve them more quickly. To accomplish this, businesses will seek to link employee feedback to the customer experience. This will manifest itself in two ways; the extension of customer satisfaction KPI's across all lines of business and the deployment of tailored dashboard solutions that pull information from all brand stakeholders and empower quick, efficient reporting from the frontline to the boardroom.
2. Rise of the Chief Experience Officer - The title has been floating around the boardroom table for a few years now, but in 2013 organizations will get serious about getting a Chief Experience Officer on the payroll. As brands face stiffer competition and pressure elevates around consistently delivering coherent and satisfying product and service experiences to customers, businesses will seek ways to align teams, budgets and tear down organizational roadblocks to customer experience success.
3. Market research experiments with the "Siri-effect" - In an effort to capitalize on the 'next big thing' in mobility, marketers will seek to take feedback to the next level via voice-activated surveys. Fresh techniques inspired by Apple's Siri technology will help brands break down the barriers of survey fatigue and get in front of the notoriously tough-to-reach young male and business executive audience.
4. Gamification takes mobile feedback to the next level - Everyone is talking mobile these days, but most are not effectively executing mobile strategies to gather feedback. In 2013, businesses will look to adaptive layouts, with little or no manual intervention, as a way to achieve scalability across devices and platforms. They will strive to support the capabilities of target devices, rather than the other way around. For instance, we'll see a rise in customized graphics, like touch screen-enabled dials, replacing the boring check boxes of years past. This trend towards 'surveytainment' will provide a more entertaining feedback mechanism for customers, thereby increasing response rates.
5. Augmented reality and location-based awareness gain traction - A critical focus for marketers will be getting to the right audience, at the right time and in the right place. In order to create actionable insight and drive customers to make purchasing decisions, organizations will look to new platforms to connect and innovate. This will include augmented reality, whereby a virtual world is created when customers look through their phone or location-based prompts on nearby deals, surveys and product feedback opportunities.
"In 2013 we fully expect organizations to face challenges and confusion as they struggle to understand how to cut through the noise and create quality connections with customers. Successful organizations will deploy technology solutions that help them gain a holistic, integrated view of their audience and empower them to get actionable insights on the customer's terms, via mobile, augmented reality, voice-activation, etc., rather than waiting for the customer to come to them." - Oliver Trabert, CTO, QuestBack

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Delia Byrd is a native of Cayro, Georgia and a recovering alcoholic who lives in Los Angeles with her surly ten-year-old daughter, Cissy. The former lead singer of the obscure blues-rock band Mud Dog, Delia is supported primarily by Randall Pritchard, Cissy's father and a member of Mud Dog. The novel opens with Randall being killed in a motorcycle accident. Grief-stricken, nearly penniless, and desperate to reconcile with the daughters she left behind in Georgia, Delia packs up her daughter and drives nearly non-stop cross-country.
When she arrives in Cayro, she is confronted by townspeople who think she is a "hussy" for having left her two daughters despite being aware of the fact that Delia's husband was often abusive toward her. After a disappointing reunion with the grandfather who raised her, Delia enrolls Cissy at the local school, gets a job as a cleaning woman and sinks into a deep depression.
After emerging from the depression, Delia embarks on a quest to regain custody of her now-pubescent daughters, Amanda and Dede, from their hateful and puritanical paternal grandmother. She enlists the aid of the preacher at her mother-in-law's church. Despite the fact that the minister is able to convince the grandmother to consent to visits, Grandma Windsor does not keep her side of the bargain. Desperate, Delia approaches the girls' father, Clint, and makes a deal with him. Clint, who is gravely ill with cancer, agrees to transfer legal custody of the girls to Delia if she moves into his house and cares for him as he is unwilling to spend his last days in a hospital. After thoroughly cleaning the house, Delia moves all three girls in.
Things between Delia and her daughters are tense at first. Fourteen-year-old Amanda is as rigid and religion obsessed as her grandmother, frequently telling Cissy that she is going to hell. Dede is a sexually precocious twelve-year-old who likes to smoke cigarettes. They initially ignore their younger sister and her mother. The two older girls also hate their father, remembering the times that he assaulted his parents.
Cissy, unable to get along with any of her female relatives, takes pity on the bedridden Clint. She begins reading to him. Eventually, Clint begins to tell her about the early days of his marriage to Delia, expressing remorse about the violence he subjected her to.
After Clint dies, Cissy and Dede form a tight bond. However, Amanda remains intractable, frequently arguing with her mother and sisters. Amanda goes on to marry an aspiring preacher and gives birth to two sons in short order. After undergoing a procedure to remove gallstones, Amanda suffers a minor nervous collapse and begins rethinking her previous religiosity.
Cissy, who has had problems fitting in at school, develops an abiding friendship with Nolan, a classmate who shares her passion for science fiction novels. Nolan eventually introduces Cissy to spelunking and falls madly in love with Dede, who scorns his advances.
Dede, who has several brushes with the law and briefly battles drug addiction, eventually gets a job managing the convenience store. After Nolan rescues Dede from a gun-toting ex-boyfriend, the two embark on a passionate love affair.
Cissy begins making plans to return to Los Angeles to study at UCLA. This leaves the forty-something Delia at loose ends as the two older girls have already left home. She has broken up with Cayro's deputy sheriff and has no romantic prospects. Delia then resolves to begin a new chapter of her life by becoming more involved with her young grandsons.
There was a little too much religion in this book for my taste. That would have been entirely fine but it's not what I was looking for. There was also too much random information about stuff the just didn't matter. That being said it was just an ok read.
I picked this up after having read Allison's most famous work, Bastard out of Carolina, which was one of the most harrowing emotional reading experiences I have ever had. This book is not nearly so rough to read, but it is still a cutting, insightful and frank exploration of the small-town lives of people often dismissed as "white trash." Not my usual favorite topic, but Allison is an absorbing and talented writer, really able to draw the reader in.
I am STILL impatiently waiting for Allison's promised sci-fi book - an 'excerpt' was published in 1996 which was a truly great story... I don't know if she never finished it, or didn't find a publisher (seems unlikely!)
No fantastic elements in this book, although the main character is a science-fiction fan, and there's enough titles/authors mentioned in the text to send a lot of people in the right direction! (It's not a big part of the story, though.)
this is a powerful book about coming through violence and/or tragedy and what you do with your life afterwards. who you are and how you handle everything. the writing is excellent and the characters are well drawn. most of the characters are women, and that's definitely part of the story, too, how these women learn to relate to themselves, each other, society.
i'm not sure why it took me so long to read this because it really is a very good book, with good character arcs throughout, although toward the end it got decidedly harder to put down.
Delia Byrd Windsor escaped an abusive marriage by running off to California with a rock band, leaving her two young daughters back in Cayro, Georgia. The story begins ten years later, when her almost famous, not quite rich rock star partner is killed in a car crash. Delia is left with the product of their liaison, ten year old Cissy. Delia decides to return to Cayro, dragging along a kicking and screaming Cissy, to reunite with the children she left behind.
Ex-husband Clint agrees to return her daughters provided she will care for him as he is dying of cancer. Delia acquiesces. But her daughters, all three, are unenthused. The eldest, Amanda, prefers to act the martyr, holding a grudge against the mother who abandoned her. Second daughter, DeDe, is a wild child who has learned to push the envelope at every opportunity. Cissy, still indignant at having been thrust into a lifestyle she never wanted, pouts overtly. In addition, many of Cayro's citizens (including her ex-mother-in-law) treat Delia like a pariah who doesn't deserve a chance at redemption. Delia perseveres, building a small business; fixing up a house; reconciling with her daughters. By the end of the book the family seems to have achieved a tenuous normalcy.
Good writing, a cohesive story, and richly drawn characters elevate this book beyond a depressing soap opera. While the characters are not extraordinarily flawed, when their flaws are combined with incredibly poor life choices, the results are destructive to all. The consequences of Clint's sadism, Delia's flight, Delia's substance abuse, Grandmother Windsor's cold-heartedness, the girls' attitudes – and so forth – have a dramatic impact on everybody else. Even the minor characters are relevant to the plot.
I enjoyed Cavedweller and recommend it to readers who like character driven books.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0452279690, Paperback)"Death changes everything." So begins Dorothy Allison's sprawling, ambitious, and deeply satisfying second novel, Cavedweller. For Delia Byrd, Randall Pritchard's death in a motorcycle accident launches a journey of several thousand miles and almost two decades, a rebirth of sorts that's also a return to her roots. Years before, the handsome but untrustworthy rock star Randall helped Delia flee an abusive husband; Delia escapes physical danger but leaves her two small children behind. In California, her abandoned daughters haunt her dreams and preoccupy her waking hours, even as she sings in Randall's band and gives birth to another daughter, Cissy. But when Randall is killed in a motorcycle accident, Delia packs rebellious Cissy into a broken-down Datsun, bound for Cayro, Georgia, and the one thing that suddenly matters more than anything else: her abandoned children and the chance to be a mother to them once again.
Cayro's poverty is emotional as well as material; the town is a hard place, full of hard people. To them, Delia will always be "that bitch" who abandoned her babies, "that hippie" living a life of sin. Nonetheless, Delia forges a cruel bargain with her former husband: in exchange for Delia's agreeing to care for him as he dies, he gives her a chance to reclaim her daughters. Like Bastard out of Carolina, Allison's acclaimed debut novel, Cavedweller is a chronicle of rage, strength, and survival. Here, however, Allison is equally concerned with the redemptive power of love and forgiveness, and a novel that began with death ends on an unexpectedly sanguine note: "'Yes, it's time for some new songs.'" There are no victims in Dorothy Allison's work; Delia triumphs through sheer force of will, bringing her family together despite the contempt of almost everyone around her.
The novel has its flaws--including occasionally flat-footed prose--but it is in the end compulsively readable, and it's populated by some of the most memorable characters in recent fiction: tough, prickly, flawed, and deeply human, Delia and Cissy are literary creations of the first rank. In describing the complicated emotions that bind and divide them, Allison demonstrates a profoundly unsentimental understanding of the way the human heart works. Cavedweller is the work of a mature artist, her best fiction to date.

Hi All
Just wanted to know wether the screen size of the PTV is smaller on the triple 7's in Club World compared to the 747 fleet, and also is the PTV's different to the LHR fleet than the LGW fleet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Luckily, the web has proved to become a useful venue for the two athletes and coaches seeking players for women's college soccer, together with other games. Fans are so passionate they will offer their complete support of the teams.
Weave-a-word is just another excellent option for an indoor game for small-scale groups. This kind of game features women that are naked.
Although the women's football isn't as attractive in comparison with men's football, there's a noticeable growing following for the prior. Basketball is among those few sports that both women and men started playing around an identical time.
Some psychological differences between women and men questions whether women, the truth is, may make much better soccer players than men. When comparing the mental make-up of women and men, there's evidence the game differs for men then it's for women.
These soccer facts are certain to intrigue children and adults alike. Being a real girl, I am an enormous football fan. Here's a record of girls soccer games.
Not everybody has to put money into soccer shoes. Topless women's soccer team is among the entire most awaited events within the sport. Soccer shoes are available in many distinctive designs, and each is intended for an alternative purpose. Tennis is an intensely common sport among women throughout the world.
In case you are having a tough time locating the proper women's soccer shoes, this informative article might be able to aid. There are various unique species of soccer moms in the USA. These days, it is a favorite sport among the ladies throughout the world.
If you prefer playing soccer when wearing regular sneakers, it is wise to put money into shoes which are shock absorbent. The truth is, this will be mariela first soccer game considered a beautiful day, a terrific day for soccer, an excellent day for women's sports, and something that hopefully we will be able to discuss for the remainder of our lives and hopefully it's in a great way."
Bouncing this around can be for an enjoyable little break, just be certain not to hit anyone in the head that is certainly not playing. There are various styles of this type of game.
Soccer is quite an exciting game which often comes to the wire within the very last minutes of play. Through the match, the ball will knock out of bounds. Players might not deliberately touch the ball by making use of their hands, aside from the goalie. Any player may then kick the ball.
Lightweight, it enables you to perform the very best indoor game. These games are destined to entertain and motivate. Now, the game will be to complete the puzzle. It starts with a kick-off.
Then, games not directly improve creativity, but also boost the overall development of an individual. Soccer is among the most famous sports on the planet amongst folks of all ages and genders.

by Anthony Storr
If this were a pop-psych self-help book—which, thank goodness, it is not—it would be called something like I'm OK, It Doesn't Matter What You Are. Storr, a British psychiatrist who teaches at Oxford, observes that Western cultures have come to equate mental health and adjustment to people's ability to get along with others. Storr has nothing against people getting along with each other, whether casually or intimately, but he argues that being alone, even for extended periods of time, can be a productive, satisfying, "normal" way of life: "Intimate attachments are a hub around which a person's life revolves, not necessarily the hub." Be warned that this book does not make Storr seem like the sort of hip, chatty guy who gets to talk with Oprah and Phil on TV. He often digresses, for one thing, into the kind of obsessive Freudian vs. Jungian arguments that seem as relevant and significant as the Trigger vs. Champion debates that used to go on between fans of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Storr also writes in doggedly academic prose, full of "as we shall sees" and "as we have seens." He has an eye for the telling quote, though, citing noted loner Franz Kafka's belief that a writer can only achieve self-revelation when by himself: "That is why one can never be alone enough when one writes, why there can never be enough silence around one when one writes, why even night is not night enough." Storr even shows a sense of humor, recalling historian Edward Gibbon's reflections on marriage: "When I have painted in my fancy all the probable consequences of such a union, I have started from my dream, rejoiced in my escape, and ejaculated a thanksgiving that I was still in possession of my natural freedom." While little of Solitude is that lighthearted, any writer who argues so cogently for the value of contemplation is to be thanked. Anyway, the book is only 208 pages long, and one can gain a sense of almost poetic appreciation by reading it, oh, on a bus trapped in a traffic jam or on a bench at the mall. (Free Press, $17.95)

All VRHS 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students will take the PSAT test on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at Vista Ridge High School beginning at 8:45 a.m. All 9th graders will be taking the PSAT 8/9 Test and 10th-11th graders will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT Test. Testing will take approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, so please do not schedule appointments for students to be off campus that morning. All sub-campus students will test at their home campus.
LISD offers the opportunity for non-LISD students living in the LISD Attendance Zone to take the PSAT 8/9 Test (9th graders) and the PSAT/NMSQT Test (10th-11th graders) on Wednesday, October 19th at Vandegrift High School (South/ 2222) or Vista Ridge High School (North/Central LISD). Registration is online and a copy of a photo ID is required and must be submitted by September 20, 2016 in order for testing materials to be ordered. The student's score report will be sent directly to the home address about 2 months after testing by College Board. Visiting students will be expected to dress and behave in alignment with the LISD Student Code of Conduct which can be viewed in our Parent/Student Handbook.
Click HERE for Registration Form
On Aug. 10, Leander ISD parents can enter their home address into Infofinder i, an online tool available on the LISD website, to look up their child's bus number and pick-up/drop-off times and locations for the coming school year. In an effort to reduce expenses and ensure real-time accuracy, the district does not print and distribute bus route schedules prior to the start of school. Bus routes are subject to change, and so LISD parents are strongly encouraged to confirm their child's bus information again the week prior to the start of school, Aug. 15-19. For transportation questions, please call 512-570-0700.
Welcome to Vista Ridge High School!
Please visit the VRHS Registration website for information on enrolling students, campus tours, and course planning.
Leander ISD is one of 425 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 6th-annual AP® District Honor Roll for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.
Reaching these goals indicates that a district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for the opportunity of AP. To be included on the 6th-annual Honor Roll, LISD had to, since 2013, increase the number of students participating in AP while also increasing or maintaining the number of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher.
"Leander ISD is one of only 23 districts in Texas honored on the AP District Honor Roll," said Champion. "We are very proud to be identified by the College Board as a district that is actively working to ensure more students have the opportunity to participate in AP and that they are doing well on the exams. This recognition aligns to our vision that students graduate with every option open." Read more …

Will there be a new *istD coming soon?
James O'Neill wrote:
Brendan PK wrote:
Look here:
info you might be able to use
I'm guessing the Brendan who wrote that is you ?
I'm second guessing that it's based on informal / non-attributable
information from Pentax sources and some which might be covered by
However here is my Guess of Record.
1. Pentax announced the *ist-D at PMA '03 - it was their first
DSLR, partly to learn the process of making one with a low volume
model before going for high volume with the DS.
2. Production problems meant we couldn't buy it until september 03
but it was originally slated for May/June.
3. The life span of a DSLR is about 2 years. (e.g. Canon 10D ...
20D) so in the Normal run of things a *ist-D MK II should arrive
sometime in mid '05, with an announcement at PMA reasonably likely.
4. There needs to be as clear a distinction between a MKII and the
DS as there is between Canons 20D and 300D (which should get
replaced late next year). USB 2 is a given, 8MP is what the market
expects. Support for the same grip (and other accessories) as the
*ist-D makes a lot of sense, so does a set of shooting modes
aligned with the D rather than the DS.
5. It is too soon for a full frame sensor to be affordable - unless
Pentax are going try a full-on only-a-pro-can-afford camera.
I don't expect to be upgrading until '07 when the MKIII should be
due (with, God willing, a 12 or 15MP full frame sensor).
My guesses are not 100%. I said the only sure thing about the
"Znd-D" as I called the DS pre-launch was it would not have a metal
chasis. So don't back any horses on my say so.
I just can't see full frame sensors. There are only two available now and they haven't been good sellers as far as I know. The Kodak one has been wrough with problems, though apparently somewhat straightened out in the latest model that takes Canon lenses. The 1Ds and mkII model have been well accepted by some pros, though I think the 1DmkII has had a better following. Canon has a clear commitment to the smaller sensor with the Rebel D and 20D and is surely continuing with that sensor or they wouldn't be coming with more of the dedicated lenses. Nikon has made no change in the direction of full frame. For Pentax to come with a full frame camera would be a shot in a very dark corner, since that corner is occupied by pros already committed to Nikon or Canon. There is not the longer lens base with Pentax to garner pros and there is not an IS lens base to satisfy the pro sports photographer. I can't see such coming from Pentax. I think they will continue to upgrade their consumer level DSLR's to make them competitive with Nikon and Canon consumer level DSLR's. Whether they come with a higher pixel count aps size sensor is dependent on Sony and really probably dependent on Nikon. I doubt Pentax has the volume to offer Sony to bring the kind of R&D necessary to make a different sensor attractive to them. You can talk about sensor size all you want, but the key is availability. Canon has the corner on all of this because they make their own sensors. Kodak could too if they would make something that didn't have a bunch of problems. Fuji and Sigma apparently are just too small a players to be market movers, though I'm pretty sure the Fuji S2 and S3 have been much more accepted than the Kodak - Nikon and Kodak-Canon models. Minolta and Olympus trailers, probably always trailers.

dueling pianos were ok. just not our type of evening out singing along with the act. loved the food. went before happy hour was over and practically everything was $5. great bargain and the food was delicious. would go back just for that.
