O'Donnell Elementary School History
Mabel O'Donnell Elementary School opened in 1965 along with its sister school, Rose E. Krug. Both schools feature a unique circular architecture, with curved hallways. When they were constructed, the buildings were considered the schools of tomorrow, with a design that would allow adaptability as teaching and instruction changed. The intention of the circular design was to allow for better sightlines and flexible student grouping. The total construction cost for both buildings was $898,722.38.
O'Donnell Elementary school has had two additions constructed to expand student capacity. The first was a round design that added 6 classrooms. It has been remodeled to hold four early learning classrooms. The second addition on the building's north side added eight classrooms, five offices, and a media center.
About Mabel O'Donnell
The stories of Mabel ODonnell found a permanent home in the imagination on millions of young readers. Through her books, children traveled the world with the Alice and Jerry, the main characters in her first series. ODonnell became one of the best-selling writers of all time because she created sophisticated stories shared through accessible language.
Dick and Jane may have taught a generation to read but Alice and Jerry taught us to dream, wrote one newspaper columnist.
The stories ODonnell would write were grounded in her early life in Aurora. ODonnell graduated from East Aurora High School in 1909, then went to DeKalb Normal School (later known as Northern Illinois University) intent on becoming a writer. In 1908, she began teaching at Brady Elementary School. She later did graduate work at Columbia University and earned a Doctorate from the University of Chicago.
While working as director of elementary schools, ODonnell was praised for helping developing teachers become master educators. It was during this time that she came in contact with a book publisher who was looking for a teacher to edit a new book. ODonnell wrote to say she didnt like the book and could write a better one herself. They took her up on the offer.
In 1936, while ODonnell was principal at Young School, Row, Peterson and Co., published her first books: a series of reading instruction books featuring a brother and sister named Alice and Jerry. The series was revolutionary in reading instruction: it included a teaching guide and separate reading plans for superior, average and immature readers.
The books were full of adventure; ODonnell wanted the stories to be more than vocabulary lessons. She worked hard at writing for children. She considered young people to be the toughest critics, a group that would not tolerate sentimental drivel or adult moralizing.
ODonnell wrote three-dimensional characters involved in detailed stories would teach as they entertained. Alice and Jerry would ride a train around the world, or explore their fictional hometown, which shared a parallel history to Aurora. ODonnell later added a second series, the Janet and John books, which continued to be republished for four decades.
Her books became childrens classics, adored by readers and teachers. Altogether, ODonnell wrote 47 titles and collaborated on 53 more. Between the two sets, ODonnell sold more than 100 millions books around the world.
In 1946, she left the school district to become head of the Reading Department for Row, Peterson and Co., in Evanston (now known as Harper Collins). In 1965, an East Aurora elementary school was named in her honor.
Miss ODonnell lived in Aurora her entire life. She died in 1985 at 95 years old.
The world is still a wonderful place, she told the East Aurora High School students when receiving her alumni honor. A place for laughter and gayety and joy, for sadness, yes, but also for beauty and goodness and hope and exciting aspirations.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
I-Wayne is well known for his criticism of the slackness (or nastiness as he calls it) in the music industry and for his love about the topic he dedicates most of his songs to - life.
With his uncompromising stance towards the commercialization of music he inspires fans worldwide. Arig Idris met him at his favorite place in Portmore, just a few steps away from his yard, to ask him about which songs and artists that inspire him. I-Wayne also shared which of his own songs that means the most to him.
Sizzla Kalonji - Black Woman & Child (1997)
"When I first hear this one I just loved the way he spoke about the empress dem. Big, big, big tune! Uplifting women is something I make sure to do in my music aswell. You see how dem portray women in the slacknessmusic, with them nastiness? I-Wayne would never do that."
Dennis Brown - Revolution (1984)
"First of all the melody is really, really good. But apart from that, the lyrics are life teachings also. When him sing "Do you know what it means to have a revolution? (...) Are you ready to stand up and fight it just like soldiers? Many are called, few are chosen." Definitely a inspiring song, especially in this last days. This is a crucial time and people need to wake up."
Sade - By Your Side (2000)
"One of my favorite songs about love and one of the few truly genuine songs. The part when she sing "You think I'd leave your side baby? You know me better than that. You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees? I wouldn't do that." It touches me because it sounds so sincere. It's a beautiful feeling when you feel that way about a person - you know I'm here for you, no matter what. Real artist, real lyrics."
Even though I-Wayne loves his songs "like him youth dem" there are still a few songs that are a little bit more dear and special to him.
Living in Love (2005)
"This song here now is the first song from I-Wayne that people really start recognize and embrace. Even though it's a powerful song that blaze fire and have some serious lyrics it gain a lot of success out there. I know a lot of people disliked it because of the way I'm burning the fire but my righteous people embraced and loved it."
Book of Life (2007)
"Babylon, or babywrong, are trying to tear up the pages in the book of life so they can create their own book. These are the things that we as righteous people have to stand up and fight against. That's what I'm trying to encourage and share with my listeners. Remember that whatever you do should be true."
Ready Fi Live Up (2005)
"Ready fi live up is about the empress that is gravitating more and more towards righteousness, and I love it. She ready fi live up now mi seh! The feeling you have when you finally meet someone with the same values and interests as you, that is what the song is about. It's like me singing about it and rejoicing over that! It's like she come to a stage when she is ready to embrace the righteous rasta livity because "she know the slack livin it not all that". I love to see those type of women, or empresses as I would call them."

unfortunately, no. the Egyptians you are thinking of are long gone. all that remains are muslim and coptic people of barely Egyptian genetics. for the Egyptians to return those people would have to give up Islam and Christianity and return to "pagan" pantheism and worship of Osiris and Isis. however it would not happen, it would be a good thing, to counterbalance this Democratic and Communist and Socialist stupidity we have in the world. a mighty Pharaoh that people adore and worship, commanding vast resources and directing the people as a hand in a glove to build a colossal civilization would be a stupendous thing to behold today compared to the feeble endeavors of the world's inhabitants. if the original Egyptians were here today they would put the rest of the world, comparatively, to shame, putting the value of 'democracy' in question, the answer seemingly that there are higher and mightier things than what our nihilistic christianity and its "equality" have afflicted us with, the questions being prompted by one thing as we behold the mighty Egyptians, the AWE OF IT ALL.

Why hasn't any of the CIA psy-ops selling RMoney posted a thread on Israel attacked?Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28272410
The answer is that "Romney supporting Israel" is as much true as "US administrations NOT supporting Iran's Ahmadinejad and Syria's Assad".
Why is Hamas non-stop bombing Israel from Gaza?
Why does Egypt's "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood warn that will not let Israel retaliate, or in his words "Israel must stop the aggression"?
Because after endless rumors of wars "against Iran" (2) by the Illuminati, this time is for real.
The illuminati can no longer postpone the war to destroy Israel.
Why MUST the illuminati now start the war against Israel?
Because Illuminati are losing control in Syria. Once that happens they will lose control in Iran. In Jordan it is getting more difficult by the day to keep the puppet King.
So they MUST NOW use the agents of the countries they still have control. (3)
The script for all out war against Israel is introduced by a surprise message.
The same Illuminati that denied weapons to the syrian freedom fighters against butcher Assad's indiscriminate air attacks with splitter bombs for now more than one year ... armed the Hamas with new rockets.
The first surprise was an unprecedented 44 mile rocket hitting Telaviv. Hours later and minutes ago Jerusalem was hit by a 55 mile rocket.
That surprise leaves Israel with no other option but the ground invasion of Gaza.
At this point it is as simple as this to push to the utter limits illuminati"double talk" (what they say vs what they do) about supervising the destruction of their "ally" Israel:
The illuminati script for launching the all out war against Israel
1. Have the Hamas fire rockets on Israeli civilians.
As Israel retaliates to try to stop the bombings:
2. Have the Egyptian government agents, the "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood (4), announce that "Israel attack" is a disaster and must stop.
3. Have the illuminati (example: UK prime minister Cameron) annouce that Hamas should stop bombing but Israel is also responsible.
4. Have the illuminati media announce that Israel is killing inocent civilians in Gaza.
The script is non-stop repeated while illuminati media hides the genocide in Syria and the military preparations (5) to wipe out Israel and the Jews of the face of the Earth.
(1) LAST PROPHET's words from 1998, archived first 2002 ...
[link to web.archive.org]
Note also the photo in that page and that today Hamas rockets hit Tel-Aviv for the first time.
One day after the "$4.5 billion Gov - BP settlement" illuminati theater and the same day fire breaks in an oil rig near New Orleans.
HU? I'm not saying you are wrong... but obviously this isn't the majority opinion around here (rather that the Illuminati IS Jewish). Please elaborate...

All these unregenerate radical Islamists are rapacious wolves in sheep's clothing and their intentions, methods and goals etc. are absolutely evil, period.
That many irresponsible and feckless politicians etc. still ignore and underestimate the countless deadly dangers of radical Islam and/or even dare to support them openly, is a monstrous scandal.
If radical Islam will not finally be neutralized, the end result will most likely be absolutely devastating.
Just look very closely at the sinister goals of Mursi, his supporters and the Muslim brotherhood etc., all of this is infinitely dangerous and disgusting and it will most likely end ghastly:

No!Quoting: AWFEKKIT
No, no, no!
This is what he has done:
1.) Putting the former regime members, etc., back on trial for killing protesters - they were all miraculously found innocent before.
2.) All laws, decrees, etc., since he was elected will stand until there is a new parliament/constitution to change them.
3.) Appoint a new public prosecutor (see #1).
4.) Extended the time to draft the new constitution by two months.
5.) Took away the power of the judiciary to dissolve the Constituent Assembly and the Shura Council.
6.) Gave himself the power to protect the revolution and the country. Remember, there is no constitution and there is no Parliament at the moment, thus he didn't really have Presidential powers.
This is not about making himself a dictator at all. It's about moving the country forward and assuring justice will be served.
Thanks for your input on this. I was not able to stay up to speed, I thought so too that what he did was positive? Then all the protests...but it was all peaceful last night and people went home and Tahrir was empty. I was out late and saw there was nothing going on, not even any traffic or anything.
Then I get home and on CNN they want to tell something different so I was confused.
Yeah, it doesn't look to be what they want to make it sound like. Wonder what's really going on at this point.

Tomorrow is friday theres gonna be major protests the question is what will happen after that. muslim brotherhood is getting hated more and more every day.Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28294917
And how will tomorrow's Friday protests be different than the protests every single other Friday?
Sitting in cafes, smoking sheesha, harassing women, protesting on Fridays, all national pastimes. NOTHING new or unusual.
Courts are probably gonna stop working from tomorrow, is that unusual enough for you?
[link to www.egyptindependent.com]
In the constitutional declaration, Morsy decreed that judiciary does not have the right to dissolve the Constituent Assembly or the Shura Council, nor does it have the right to veto, annul or otherwise amend any law, declaration or decree issued by Morsy from the time he took office until the new constitution is ratified and a new People's Assembly has been elected into office.
So they're going to have a hissy fit because he took away their power. Too bad. Egypt is now a democracy and judges will no longer arbitrarily rule as they see fit and they'll have to live with a ratified constitution and elected People's Assembly, just like every other Egyptian.
Hmmm...interesting. Yeah, that's how I read it first. I don't know what all the fuss is about actually now. Anyways, Tharir is empty so far...lets see if those few who oppose will persist. I'm still not taking any side here, not sure yet what all this means...there's always so much room for interpretation and someone to abuse power. Lets hope it's not like that and someone is just pissed off and scared because of the retrials of some Officials like Adly. Those trials were not conclusive with so much evidence withheld. I guess that's what the issue is here.

"You're not serious" I say, my voice lacking confidence. "I'm sorry ma'am, I wish I wasn't. It doesn't look good. I recommend you get down here right away." He says, then he hangs up. I take a few deep breaths, and hear the laughter from the living room. I left the tv on... I numbly walk in and shut it off, then it clicks. He needs me now. I may lose him. I sprint up the stairs, grab my purse and keys, and run out the door. He needs me now. I might lose him. He needs me now. I might lose him. This runs through my head until I blare the radio, then it clicks. I need to call her. "Hello." She answers. "Hey." I reply and I hear a happy laugh. "Hey Darcy, love!" "You need to get down here right away, your son needs you now.. It doesn't look good." I say, and I hear all the happiness gone. "Be there as soon as I can." She says, right to the point, then hangs up. Finally it sets in. He may not make it. I may lose him forever. I choke back a sob, and floor the car.

Adland? Well yes, occasionally, marketing communications stir 'Outraged of Tunbridge Wells' into penning a furious missive to the Daily Mail; but generally, advertising is mainstream, conservative and inoffensive. The few exceptions merely highlight the rule.
Even in the educated, consumer, capitalist West, certain subjects have remained taboo for advertisers. One classic being: the period.
SCA-owned brand Bodyform led the way in portraying the ultimate time-of-the-month myth. All the possible symptoms of menstruation were subsumed in female action-fantasy films played against a raunchy guitar track. As for the product demo bit, the featured liquid was, of course, blue.
Harmless. Maybe. Silly and patronising. Perhaps. SCA's commercials were certainly no education for pre-pubescent males and females in the real world of the latter's adult biology.
Hence one young man's Facebook rant: "As a child I watched your advertisements...how at this wonderful time of the month the female gets to enjoy so many things; I felt a little jealous...bike riding, roller-coasters, dancing, parachuting!!
"Then I got a girlfriend, and couldn't wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month...you lied!! There was no joy, no extreme sports...as my lady changed from the loving, gentle, normal skin-coloured lady to the little girl from 'The Exorcist' with added venom and extra 360-degree head spin."
SCA responded with a filmed faux-interview admitting their guilt and blaming the prudishness of 1980s focus groups.
Was the original rant real? Does it matter? The YouTube film is by turns, honest, sarcastic, coarse and above all, dead funny. Congratulations to SCA and a campaign that rightly paid for itself thousands of times over in PR and social media coverage.

Reading dominated the opening exchanges and Brynjar Gunnarrsson went close twice as Fulham played on the break.
Fulham saw Papa Bouba Dioup's header disallowed on the stroke of half-time.
Simon Davies' shot was saved by Marcus Hahnemann and Reading's Kevin Doyle had a header ruled out for offside before Michael Brown hit the crossbar late on.
Reading started with positive intent and urgency from the kick-off with the visitors having to defend early on.
Ki-Hyeon Seol crossed dangerously and Ian Pearce was forced to clear anxiously.
It was a sign of things to come with Fulham taking 11 minutes to launch a meaningful attack on the break when Brian McBride drove his shot straight at the keeper Antti Niemi.
However, they carved out a great chance when following a flick on from a corner Pearce struck his effort over from six yards out.
Fulham's wastefulness was almost immediately punished when after good work from Kevin Doyle and Seol the lively Hunt broke the deadlock from close in.
To add to the visitors plight they were forced into making a substitution when Ian Pearce hobbled off and was replaced by Zat Knight.
A bright spot for Fulham came when Liam Rosenior's powerful run down the right led to a cross which Heidar Helguson failed to control.
Fulham were looking to play on the break and their best hope of scoring looked to come from corners or set-pieces.
A feature of the Royals' game was their hard work giving Fulham little time to settle on the ball as they chased collectively as a unit.
Following a flowing move Reading broke out of defence and Gunnarson forced a save from Niemi.
Fulham had a speculative 40-yard effort from Queudrue fly over but at least it was a sign of a measure of positivity.
The half-time break did nothing to dampen Reading's enthusiasm and there was a symmetry to the pattern of the game.
Steve Coppell's side scenting a second goal continued with the same purpose and dynamism that they had displayed in the opening exchanges.
But to Fulham's credit they showed greater spirit and carried more of an attacking threat as the half wore on as they sought an equaliser.
The powerful presence of midfielder Diop unleashed a powerful shot from outside the area but it sailed over Hahnemann's crossbar.
Davies had Fulham's best chance when he got away from his marker but could not beat Hahnemann who beat the ball away to safety.
Reading felt they had doubled their advantage late on when Doyle's bullet header from a free-kick was chalked off for offside.
But Fulham almost had the final word when Brown's curling strike hit the crossbar.
It was another miserable away day for Fulham who have had only one win in their last 16 games but for Reading hope springs eternal.
"Our recent run has developed a certain amount of anxiety regarding winning.
"We were conscious of just getting the three points against a team that weren't in a desperate situation but desperately wanted to win."
"We conceded a poor goal and we won't let in another one like that during my time in charge.
"We had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside and we hit the crossbar in the last minute.
"The players gave me everything they had and I cannot ask for any more."

Australian shares fell as the penultimate day of August company reporting season delivered some soft results, the iron ore price kept falling and official statistics showed the economy's transition from mining to non-mining-led business investment is still struggling.
The benchmark S&P / ASX 200 Index and the broader All Ordinaries Index each lost 0.5 per cent on Thursday, to 5624.4 points and 5621.3 points respectively.
Surprisingly, Qantas Airways was the standout performer of the day. The stock flew ahead despite revealing a massive blowout in its annual loss.
Local shares took a soft lead from the United States, where the S&P 500 ended flat on Wednesday night, after closing above 2000 points for the first time in the previous session.
Major markets around Asia fell in the afternoon session amid heightened geopolitical risk as ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iraq-Syria escalated.
In local economic news, Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed business investment was stronger than forecast – helped by a lift in outlays by services firms. June-quarter capital expenditure rose 1.1 per cent. Consensus expectation was for a 0.9 per cent fall. The Australian dollar got a spike from the news, but shares remained depressed.
"The mix of the capex survey was encouraging, but we think the contrast between falling mining and improving non-mining investment might end up more stark," Barclays economist
CIMB equity strategist
Qantas posts biggest-ever loss
Qantas lifted 7 per cent to $1.39, despite a much bigger-than-forecast $2.8 billion annual net loss, the biggest in its history, amid heavy write-downs on its fleet.
The size of the loss approaches the $3 billion value of the company as measured by market capitalisation. But investors chose to focus on the lower-than-expected operating loss and on the airline's more optimistic outlook.
"Nothing was announced about what the company plans to do with its frequent flyer business. There is hidden wealth locked up in that division, so Qantas is not a lost cause yet," Zurich Financial Services senior investment strategist
"While there have been a few disappointments, overall August reporting season has delivered a pretty solid batch of results."
Television broadcaster Nine Entertainment Co dropped 3.3 per cent to $2.03, despite beating its prospectus forecasts to show a rise in full-year net profit to $144.2 million.
Cement maker Adelaide Brighton added 0.6 per cent to $3.64 after reporting a bigger than forecast 15.9 per cent drop in net profit after tax for the six months to June 30, but showing record interim revenue.
Private hospital operator Ramsay Health Care gained 1.4 per cent to $52.06 as it revealed a 14 per cent rise in full-year net profit.
Miners, banks languish
The biggest miners were weaker as the spot price for iron ore, landed in China, fell to a new two-year low at $US88.20 a tonne, posting its eighth straight day of losses. BHP Billiton fell 1.2 per cent to $36.88, while Rio Tinto lost 1.7 per cent to $63.06.
The big four banks were flat to lower. Commonwealth Bank of Australia edged up 2¢ to $81.14, while Westpac Banking Corporation lost 0.3 per cent to $35.01. ANZ Banking Group fell 0.5 per cent to $33.37, and National Australia Bank slipped 0.1 per cent to $34.77.
Telecommunications was the only sector to finish higher, as Telstra Corporation rose 0.2 per cent to $5.54.
Woolworths edged down 1¢ to $36.95, ahead of showing its full-year results on Friday. Rival Wesfarmers, owner of Coles, was unchanged at $44.76.
A number of major stocks traded ex-dividend, adding to the selling pressure. Notable companies to trade without the rights to upcoming dividends included Ansell, Asciano, Bega Cheese, Navitas, Platinum Asset Management, Super Retail Group, Vocation and iiNet.

Early signs of MS
MS can cause a wide range of symptoms, and there is no definitive list of early signs. What could be a first symptom for one person may never be experienced by another.
People can have different symptoms at different times and, although some are very common, there is no typical pattern that applies to everyone.
A problem with vision - known as optic neuritis - is one of the more obvious early symptoms, but this is often because this is a more 'concrete' symptom as opposed to 'vague' neurological symptoms like numbness or tingling. You shouldn't assume that these symptoms are a sign of MS - not everyone who experiences them will go on to get an MS diagnosis.
Are my symptoms MS?
If you have searched for symptoms online, or you know someone with MS, it may be uppermost in your mind. But many symptoms of MS can also be symptoms of other conditions or ailments.
Only a neurologist can diagnose MS. If your GP thinks your symptoms need further investigation, they will refer you to a specialist. It's best to make an appointment with your GP about any symptom that worries you.
Sometimes people describe these worries as 'Limboland' where they don't have a diagnosis of anything but they are experiencing symptoms. For more on this, see the Before a diagnosis section.

Postman Pat: The Movie (U)
Running time: 87 minutes
Featuring the voices of Stephen Mangan, Ronan Keating, Susan Duerden, Sandra Teles, Jim Broadbent, David Tennant, Rupert Grint, Robin Atkin Downes, Peter Woodward.
Director: Mike Disa.
Released: May 23 (UK & Ireland)
THE residents of the fictional village of Greendale are sitting on the secret to eternal youth.
Trusty postman Pat Clifton has been doing the rounds with his black and white cat Jess since September 1991 and during those 23 years, he doesn't appear to have aged a day.
Alas, screenwriters Kim Fuller, Annika Bluhm and Nicole Dubuc don't appear to have taken a refreshing swig from Greendale's rejuvenating water supply before they penned the lifeless and shambolic script to Pat's computer-animated big screen debut.
Postman Pat: The Movie is a shadow of the beloved stop-motion TV series, exploring the poisonous effects of celebrity on the mild-mannered postie when he becomes involved in a televised singing contest.
If the premature closure of West End show I Can't Sing - The X Factor Musical proved anything, it's that these talent searches are already garish pantomimes that defy parody.
Fuller, Bluhm and Dubuc disagree and clumsily satirise the format, casually throwing in romance and a hare-brained sci-fi invasion plot to the unappetising mix.
Postman Pat (voiced by Stephen Mangan) is at the heart of village life in the cosy community of Greendale, where he lives in Forge Cottage with his wife Sara (Susan Duerden) and football-mad son Julian (Sandra Teles).
Sara has always dreamt of going to Italy, so when Pat discovers a trip for two is the top prize in the TV reality show You're The One hosted by Simon Cowbell (Robin Atkin Downes), he prepares to belt out a ballad.
"Think of it as singing in the shower," Julian tells his father soothingly, "but in front of lots of people... and with your clothes on."
Against the odds, Pat's audition charms the usually stony-faced Cowbell.
Within days, Pat has become a nationwide celebrity and he gets caught up in the media hoopla, which takes him far away from his loved ones and his job at the Special Delivery Service (SDS).
In Pat's absence, SDS efficiency expert Edwin Carbunkle (Peter Woodward) plots to replace all of the human staff with robot doppelgangers.
Meanwhile, the grand final of You're The One beckons and Pat prepares to compete against teenage singer Josh (Rupert Grint) and his pushy father (David Tennant).
Postman Pat: The Movie is a second-class delivery of a hackneyed plot.
Oddly, the film opens with Cowbell auditioning a blond Irish singer called Ronan, who is voiced by Keating, sings one of his hits and cheekily claims to have some experience "in the business".
Cowbell dismisses this wannabe and within 20 minutes, we discover Pat also has the same distinctive Dublin-twanged singing voice. Bizarre.
Animation throughout is competent and the handful of gags pitched at snoozing adults, like the screen display of a robotic Jess which reads Faster Pussybot Kill Kill, barely warrant a weary smile.
Pat by name, pat by nature.

The PFA fully-automatic fryer from Perfect Fry Corporation is great for locations that do not allow for the installation of commercial fixed vents, air exchange, filters, or fire suppression systems. With built-in filtration and state-of-the-art fire suppression, it's ideal for open mall kiosks, temporary or seasonal locations, portable kitchens, catering, or any limited-space location, taking up only 17 linear inches of counterspace.
To maximize cooking capacity and efficiency, the PFA fully-automatic fryer features three operation modes: Rapid Fry, Preset/Preset Locked, and Manual. Utilizing RapidFry™ technology, the Rapid Fry mode allows the operator to pre-load food into the drawer while other food is frying in the cooking oil. The second load of food will automatically begin once the first cook cycle is completed.
The Preset modes take the guesswork out of deep frying by allowing the operator to pre-program up to nine different food items into the electronics system. When ready to fry, simply choose the preset number that corresponds to the item you wish to cook. For a more traditional, hands-on operation, the Manual mode allows operators to load food products into the Rapid Fryer and enter the cook time to begin a cooking cycle. It's that easy!
The PFA fully-automatic fryer uses innovative advance electronic capabilities to ensure fast, efficient operation every time. While its Cook Time Sensitivity (CTS) feature ensures a consistent product by automatically extending cook times to account for significant drops in temperature, the Food Type Sensitivity (FTS) feature controls the movement of the Teflon® coated fry basket to ensure that all products are dispensed at the conclusion of the cooking cycle.
When it's time to clean the unit, all of the internal components can be removed in under a minute for easy cleaning in a dishwasher or sink. The self-contained oil drainage kit allows you to empty oil even when it's hot. For further cleaning, the vat, element, and grease traps can be sprayed with commercial oven cleaner and wiped clean.

People Talk About:fryer support tech fixed perfectly month more price warranty fix
Arrange by
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We have this very expensive fryer for a month now and the less I can say is that we are really not happy with it ! We use it for a month and the more we use it the more issues we have ! The main issue is that the drawer stay stuck inside the machine and the food doesn't come out. Today we had a major engine problem and the fryer is just not working anymore without any reason. We called the tech support and looks like the warranty doesn't cover any support during the weekend !!! It means that with Perfect Fry if ther super expensive equipment needs to be fixed during your busiest days, you will have to pay the tech support so they can come fix it, even if your warranty is valid ! For the price, it's a shame ! You would expect that the fryer work perfectly fine for the price or at least to have 24/7 tech support that is FREE !!!!!! Think twice before buying it !

I found this letter in one of my old journals from high school. I forgot all about it, but it was a letter I did during a church activity, just for fun. I have no recollection of what's in the letter, but from the "to Hot Stuff," I imagine it will be teenager gold one day.
If I remember correctly, the point is to open it after I get engaged to make sure that I've picked the right person, or something. It doesn't make much sense because once you're engaged, a letter you wrote yourself when you were like 15 is bound to contain a vastly different outlook on what kind of person you wanted to marry. I'm pretty sure my top requirement was good-looking and a sense of humor!
If only, if only, a sense of humor and good looks was enough.
Also, a thing that's annoying, is that who knows when I'll ever open that! I like more certain gratification, so when I started my most recent journal, I decided to write myself a letter not to be opened until I fill up every page. Since it's like my 3rd or 4th journal, I have no doubt I'll actually do it.
The reason I do it, is to fill the letter with things that are important to me, then see how much things have changed when I finally open it! Here's what the letter contains:
- My list of Favorites (movies, books, TV shows, songs, moments, people, lessons, quotations, achievements)
- Important Questions & Feelings (unanswered questions, current predominant emotions, view on the world, what you enjoy about today, what are you thankful for)
- Goals & Aspirations (what you pursue, vision of your future life, what your looking forward to, hopes for future self, how do you want/expect to be different when you read this again)
- A Day in the Life… (how is everyday life, typical day at work/home/school, daily interactions, everyday habits)
- Highlights of the Year (what funny facts to remember, 10 best/worst things that happened, describe the year in one sentence, in one word)
- Advice to Myself (advice, most recent lesson you don't want to forget)
It's really a fun letter and I'm excited to see how much I've changed when I finally read it! I wrote it August 11, 2012. It's already almost been a year and I don't even think I'm halfway through my journal!
I encourage you to write yourself one of these letters and set a specific goal to yourself as when you can open it. Ideas:
- When you achieve your weightloss goal
- When you graduate middle/high school or college
- When you have your first child
- When you start your business…
The list goes on. Set a goal, then write a letter to yourself that you can read when you accomplish it! It's a great motivation and reward.

Psalm CXXI, another gradual canticle, sings of the
house of the Lord and construction within the city of
Jerusalem: "We shall go unto the house of the Lord.
Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact
In the miniature introducing this psalm the Limbourgs have depicted a construction site. It is not clear whether the building under construction is religious or secular.
The staircase, consisting of six visible steps and one which is probably hidden by King David's cloak, together with the buttresses, would seem to indicate a chapel, perhaps the Temple of Jerusalem whose construction was attributed to David.
One of the workmen perhaps carves a stone while the other manipulates the rope and pulley which brings up the building materials.

Last Full Show
Last Full Show is a 2005 short independent film by first-time Fil-Am director, Mark V. Reyes. The 18-minute film is about a rich teenager who gets involved with a middle-aged man in a man-boy love affair.
For its gay theme, Last Full Show was chosen for inclusion in a number of film festivals, including the Turin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Short Film.
Crispin, a middle-class teenager, and Gardo, a working-class man easily 20 years his senior, meet in a dark, cruisey theater. When Gardo's companion dares him to approach "the twink" and ask for a "dance," Gardo takes him up on the offer. Not two seconds later, Crispin and Gardo's eyes lock and their lips meet.
The romance between the two blooms after a blackout sends the mismatched couple out into the night and away from the safety of the dark theater. Gardo's affection seems more than anything paternal, as when he cautions Crispin to study hard for his upcoming finals, or when he sits still to allow the boy to sleep more comfortably on his shoulder.
Eventually, though, in an intense climactic scene, pressures from forces outside their relationship lead Crispin and Gardo to end their affair.

Will taxes have to rise?
The smoke signals in the run-up to the Pre-Budget report suggest that the Chancellor will not try to plug the gap in public finances by raising taxes. But could the chill economic winds blowing through the UK eventually force Gordon Brown's hand?
What a difference a year makes.
When Gordon Brown delivered his 2002 budget it seemed like the 'Iron' Chancellor was revealing a softer, more caring side.
Public spending would rise above inflation but would be paid for by a combination of a penny on National Insurance (NI) in 2003 and by dipping into a war chest of money built up in previous years.
However, in 2002 the economy has performed below expectations, tax returns are down and the Chancellor is likely to have to eat a large slice of humble pie.
The options
The Government has three options to help balance the books - tax more, spend less or increase borrowing.
Whatever option the Chancellor takes it is likely to have an impact on the wealth of the person in the street.
Taxing more and spending less will take money out of the economy and could lead to unemployment and a crisis in the housing market - the buoyancy of which is key to consumer confidence.
As for borrowing more, at first glance this seems the least painful option but if the Government gets its sums wrong then it could lead to higher interest rates which may push the economy into recession.
Biting the bullet
Spending less is not a realistic option - given Labours election pledge to improve public services.
Anyway, most of the new money has already been earmarked and to pull the rug from under high-profile spending projects would be a credibility-smashing political volte-face.
However, Gordon Brown is not afraid to bite the tax raising bullet - just ask pension scheme trustees and the privatised utilities.
Britain's still buoyant consumer sector is the logical place for tax rises. According to Deloitte and Touche, increasing VAT from 17.5% to 20% would bring in more than £9bn alone.
However, Jonathan Loynes, chief economist at Capital Economics told BBC News Online that the Chancellor would be ill-advised to increase the tax burden now.
"The consumers' willingness to carry on spending has single-handedly kept the UK economy going, to hit them now could lead to recession."
Stamp duty
The Government could choose to tax the other runaway area of the economy - the housing market.
Revenue from stamp-duty levied when a house is sold has been one of the few growth areas of Government finance in recent times.
The Chancellor could raise this tax.
"It does not contradict a manifesto pledge and the Chancellor could dress a rise up as cooling the housing market and rebalancing the economy," Mr Loynes.
Unlikely, according to Bill Dodwell, tax-partner at Deloitte and Touche. Mr Dodwell said the housing market is already showing signs of softening and is strongly linked to consumer confidence:
"At this stage the Chancellor can get by without taking the risk of raising Stamp-duty but he may need to find a few extra billion come April and then who knows."
Afford to borrow
For the short-term, the Chancellor has given off strong signals that borrowing more is the way he plans to go.
The Chancellor is relatively free to increase borrowing.
The Government has paid back more than £50bn of its debt during recent years.
Gordon Brown can build up this debt again without great difficulties.
But should Britain start to go seriously into the red then the person on the street could feel the pinch.
"If money markets believe that Britain is marching headlong into debt then it is likely that the Government will have to pay more for its borrowings.
"As a result, interest rates across the economy will rise, the housing market take a fall and recession brought closer, which in turn will hit tax revenue," Mr Loynes said.
Already, the industry watch survey claimed that up to 50,000 businesses will fail during the next two years.
Factor in rising interest rates and the industry watch figure could look optimistic.
In the wash
If this nightmare scenario occurs, taxes may have to go up anyway according to Mr Loynes.
"We have moved very rapidly from a position of having a substantial budget surplus to one of deficit. This is alarming and suggests there could be a structural problem with public finances."
Mr Loynes cited increased taxes and red tape on businesses - both bugbears of the employers' organisation the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) - as hampering UK plc.
"If structural weaknesses lie behind the deteriorating public finances, radical surgery will be necessary and that means taxes go up," Mr Loynes said.
However, Mr Dodwell believes this is a prospect facing the Chancellor in the future.
"It is fine to borrow for now and see what comes out in the wash. But if public finances are in as parlous a state during 2003 and 2004 then tax would rise."

Good but seams break
By CHR!S
from Austin, TX
About Me Advanced
Comments about Ronix Code 55 Wakeboard Bindings 2013:
I use these for recreational riding as well as competitive. They are a priced well, but I was disappointed in the construction. The molding around the toe has come apart at the seams after the second day of use. It has yet to affect the performance of the boots, but I'm just waiting to come down from a trick and have the boots shred. There is also significant wear on the tongue from rubbing against the laces, but that's probably due to the fact that I like my boots as tight as can be. Performance wise, these boots are clutch and very responsive with great support. They are stiff but still allow enough flex to do a clutch press or make a trick steezy, so don't let that be a factor on not buying them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Favorite Bindings Out There
By Ryan

About Me Intermediate
I have owned three pairs of Ronic Code 55 boots. They are the stiffest, most supportive boots I've found. The only ones I consider at this point. After trying mine out one time, my wife replaced her old bindings with Code 55s as well.
New bindings are great
By Naked Dave
from Milwaukee, WI
Great binding for riders that like to take their tricks higher and farther out into the flats. Feel a little bulky, but still have great mobility for tweaking out grabs.

Great boots for everyone
By Old Nik

About Me Beginner
Great boots from Ronix.They are very comfortable , little stiff, gives great control over board.It's not easy to pull them off in the water because they grab your leg pretty tight, but it's necessary evil when you need precise control over your movement.There are comments that boots runs small, but for my US 9,5 the size of 9 fits perfect.
Good boots!
By Sarah
from Jackson Hole, WY
Great boots! Stay snug the entire time I ride. The only downside is that they are pretty hard to put on. The lacing is very stiff but seems to be loosening up the more I use them. I really love how good they are on the water and how much control high get over the board. I definitely recommend them!

So impressed!
Awesome boots! They are so responsive, and fit perfectly. I pair these with the 2014 Limited Edition Harley Board. My only problem with them so far that tightening these boots is a bit of a struggle. Hopefully that is just because they are brand new and need to be broken in a bit. I would for sure buy these boots again and fully recommend them.
I liked my cells but love the Code 55s.

A great stiff binding, no heal lift and snugs right up.
Super Comfy - run a half size small
By Adam K
from White Lake, MI
These boots are super comfy and light. Went to these from LF Watson bindings which I thought were the bomb. I like these Code 55's better. They do run small - I usually wear a size 10 shoe and ordered size 10 bindings. I did have to send them back to get a size 11 binding.

A recent survey by ASID reveals that emerging professionals are enthusiastic and ready to work, but finding few opportunities in the interior design industry.
I find myself not looking back but rather looking ahead, and looking forward, to the future of ASID.
A year ago, we engaged in a long, hard look at our organization and asked ourselves how well we are prepared to lead our profession. We were in the midst of great changes in our society and in the industry, and we knew that we could leverage that change by focusing on our opportunities and setting a new course that would pull us toward the future. Much has happened as a result, and even within a very short time we have become a different organization than we were a year ago—still true to our mission, but moving in a new direction.
In the months ahead, expect to see a more visible and reenergized ASID. We believe our industry is full of promise but disjointed. To reach our full potential, we need to tap into everyone's expertise and build upon one another's strengths.
An important component of our plan is the group we refer to as "emerging professionals." These are the designers who have completed their interior design degree within the past year to five years. They are smart, talented and eager to prove themselves. At other times we would say, "They are the future of our profession." In these times, it might be more accurate to say, "They are potentially the future of our profession," because many of them have been frustrated in their attempts to begin their careers.
Gradually, business is improving, but many firms are unable or reluctant to hire designers, particularly new designers. Some offer internships, often unpaid. And while that may be the reality of the marketplace, it is no way to mentor the future leaders of our profession. We need to find a place for them before they are lost to other pursuits.
Who are these emerging professionals? ASID conducted a survey earlier this year to learn more about them. What we found is encouraging. Emerging professionals (or EPs, in our organizational shorthand) are no longer students, but not yet seasoned professionals. Their first five years of practice is the most critical time to rely on their professional association, when they are searching for employment, relocating to a new city, building their network or looking for ways to get involved in the design community.
They want to follow the path to professionalism. Nearly two-thirds plan on taking the NCIDQ exam, and many also plan to get a LEED credential. They perceive value in belonging to a professional organization as a source of continuing education and professional development, and to be connected to a network of their peers.
The bad news is that only 2 in 10 EPs are currently working in interior design. Quite a few are working in design-related jobs, such as furniture showrooms, kitchen and bath shops, or home improvement stores (doing kitchen and bath design), as they have been unable to find interior design jobs. Not surprisingly, when we asked them what programs they most want from their professional organizations, they said skills, workshops, job preparation resources, CEUs and tools for startup companies. Translation: They want to work, and they want to practice the profession they have studied and trained in.
Although discouraged, they have not given up on their future. In our survey, 3 in 4 EPs said they are practicing or hope to practice high-end residential design, and as many selected commercial and hospitality as their fields of interest. About 1 in 5 plan to concentrate on healthcare or retail design.
ASID cannot create jobs for all these designers, but we are doing all we can to support them and keep them engaged. For the very first time, ASID is devoting an entire month to our emerging professional designers. Our understanding and appreciation for this new career stage is at an all-time high. We've listened to our members and recognize they have a special set of needs.
During September, our team at headquarters and ASID leaders across the country will focus on programming and events for EPs in which they can have a voice and flourish, but also learn important tools and tips for how to succeed in today's market. Three times each week videos will showcase ASID Fellows and their advice to the upcoming designers through a program entitled "The Fellows Project." Each week will also feature a new webinar covering such topics as setting short- and long-term goals, networking with the mindset that relationships are the new economy, using social media productively, and third-party certifications and their relevance to designers.
With all of these daily virtual activities, we have encouraged our chapters to host local and regional events to welcome EPs into their design communities; CEUs; showroom tours; and networking events for new and experienced designers.
ASID is also extremely pleased to host the second annual GO PRO event, to be held September 14-15, 2012 in New York City. This is the first event of its kind to empower EPs through four pillars of programming: PROfessional Advancement, PROcess, PROject, and PRO Bono Work. This event is open to the entire industry, and we encourage all EPs to register at www.asid.org/gopro (space is limited). With sponsors like The Vinyl Institute, Cosentino, Designer Marketplace, Hansgrohe, Legrand and Teknion, we know this will be the highlight of September for us all. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
I encourage you to make September your EP month, too. Reconnect with a former intern or recent graduate. Take part in your chapter's activities and look for ways to get EPs more involved. Invite an EP on a showroom visit, or even for coffee and some shop talk. You might just
be that connection that EP needs to pull them toward their future—the future we are all trying
to build to make our profession stronger.
ASID president Lisa Henry, FASID, LEED AP is the
Knoll Southwest regional architecture and design
director. ASID can be reached at (202) 546-3480 or email@example.com, and on the web at www.asid.org. Find out all of the resources we have for emerging designers through our Career Center on the ASID website at

A world away at cruden Farm in Australia, a grand dame would no doubt have seen all this with the heaviest of hearts.
cruden says that sacrifice was offered by Adam and his sons.
I went back to cruden with my mind in a whirl of thoughts and feelings.
Show him how to take his cruden and how to make a picture to his opening mind of the Fast-days of Scripture.
I got in the cart again and went to cruden as hard as the mare could go.
cruden was on old comrade, who did me more than one good turn.
Most of the Concordances published since are founded upon cruden.
I read cruden, who made the great Concordance, and made the miracles as small and probable as he could.
Toftrees stretched out his hand and took down a "cruden's Concordance."
The rest of us set about arranging to spread ourselves along the shore between cruden and Peterhead.

The Nike Air Bermuda was one of Nike's original runners dating back all the way to 1979. That means waffle makers and garages were still a basic part of the equation. Nike recently decided to turn the m upside down and reintroduce the world to one of its original staples as the Nike Air Berwuda using a mixture of modern materials ranging from mesh, textile, and leather overlays. Today we get a glimpse of the runner in a black spruce and parachute gold mock up that would be perfect for fall. Continue reading for a full view and pick up your pair today from Nikestore.

In English literature this note of "recessional" was sounded long before Kipling.
Kames are commonly associated with terminal and recessional moraines.
recessional surprises one like a noble recantation of nearly all the other verse Mr. Kipling has written.
"recessional" is indeed a majestic and noble poem—a prayer in verse.
There is not so much processional as recessional about marriage at present.
The recessional is one of the most popular poems of this century.
Both literatures have the sanctuary hymn, and the processional and the recessional hymn.
The recessional is played, and the procession goes out in reversed order.
He rose to his climax with his "recessional," while I was still an undergraduate.
I sat through the sermon, and the offertory, and the recessional.

By Cosy Burnett
Cosy Burnett is a junior outside and opposite hitter at La Costa Canyon (Carlsbad, Calif.) who also plays for Coast Volleyball Club in San Diego, Calif. Her high school team competed in the state finals for Division II last season and she has competed at nationals five times with her club teams. In the latest installment of her blog, she explains how to manage crazy volleyball parents.
"The score is wrong!"
All it takes is one parent to yell out that simple phrase and an avalanche of shouts, whistles, yells and arms frantically waving at the scorekeeper begins. And once it starts, they won't give up until the score is checked and re-checked. The scorekeeper has 3.2 seconds to flip the plastic number before "Score!" is yelled. If she flips too fast and they don't see it, that's also a problem. And if she accidentally flips the wrong side, parents work themselves into a rabid frenzy.
We've all seen it; we've all experienced it -- the crazy volleyball parent.
Now, I consider myself lucky because my parents have to share their attention with my four other siblings, which has kept them in a certain state of sanity. Most of the time.
Usually parent "over-involvement" is humorous and harmless, but it can also cause problems with team chemistry and individual performance. Sports can bring out your best and worst. The same goes for parents. This week I thought I would write a blog on how to manage the crazy volleyball parent.
Stop negative cheering
The game from the parent's perspective is always interesting.
-- Parent of the defensive player: "Why can't we get a block? Girls, close the gap!"
-- Parent of the setter: "Come on, pass the ball. Let's get a pass this time!"
-- Parent of the hitter: "Higher sets! Push it up!" Or my favorite, "SET! THE! MIDDLE!"
Guess what? We hear it, and it's not helpful. We all need each other to make a play and we need support, not blame.
Make a contract
I was once on a club team that had some overzealous parents. During our team bonding night, we decided to make our parents sign a contract. We wanted to start things off right, so we came up with a list of rules. At the parent meeting, we had them agree to the following:
-- No talking to coaches about playing time -- that's our job.
-- No coaching from the sidelines.
-- No trashing on teammates or coaches.
-- Only positive cheering allowed.
-- No yelling at the referees or line judges when they make a tough call.
-- No lectures in the car ride home on how we can improve.
The parents laughed, but we made our point and the stage was set for the season.
Let your parents know how you feel. It's great that they're passionate and involved, but you don't want volleyball to be the core of your relationship. I always enjoyed a close relationship with my mom, but sometimes I just didn't want to talk volleyball. She was so excited to talk about everything (the recruiting, the games, the plays), but once I let her know how I felt, she gave me my space. I need to "process" after a long tournament, and the only thing I want to discuss on the way home is which In-N-Out Burger we should stop at.
