This is for the creative person anywhere who has always wanted to publish a "book"!
cayi99's recommendation
This was also another find at the Digital Life Expo in NYC. It's a website where you can actually publish your own books. The quality is fantastic. It's basically your coffee table book quality. For those of you who are tired of wasting your money on medicore prints of your vacations or if you just have something to say. Plus it comes with downloadable software, so you're not stuck doing it online and having that lag time everytime something needs to reload. The software was created by designers, so it has a great asthetic to it. The major bonus is you can actually sell your book once it's completed online! Oh and did I forget it's affordable.

This is the coolest thing ever. I can't wait to make my own books. Perfect for holiday gifts too.
bandittfb's recommendation
I just got my blurb book in the mail. I am totally blown away by the quality of this product. The software is super easy to use, customer support was fantastic and I am very pleased with the end product. I would have just as happy having paid twice what I paid. It's a great deal and it's a lot of fun. My highest recommendation.
Todd's recommendation
Blurb allows you to make professional quality books from your own content. I just made a picture book of my son to give to all the relatives. It's easy and fun.
parisw's recommendation
I love this service!!!!! I have made books of my travel pictures and family parties and i am now planning a Christmas cookbook of family recipes as a gift. It is super easy, super fast and cheaper than having my photos printed - very cool!
alexandra625's recommendation
I struggled with different gift ideas for my anniversary... and finally settled on this: design, create, decorate, and publish your own scrapbook from scratch, on the computer! If you have any background in basic computer software, you will probably be able to figure out "BookSmart," Blurb's book creating program (free for downloading). I used all my own pictures, poems, stories, captions, etc, and made a twenty-page scrapbook for $12. The most inexpensive sentimental gift, that looks clean-cut, professional, shiny- he thought I had gone to a publishing company and spent days working on it. If you want to give someone a lasting, memorable, top-of-the-line gift, check out Blurb.com and make them a scrapbook!
TwinMom's recommendation
My friend just showed me hers and it is awesome. What a perfect gift for a special person, couple, dog, whatever. The thing is great. I plan on making one for the trip I took to Australia, one for my kids and one of my friends doing embarrassing things. I'm considering doing one for all the handbags and shoes I've loved before but that might be a bit much.
Cantaloupe99's recommendation
Very easy-to-use self-publishing tool which makes you a professional book-maker in no time. I used way too many hyphens in that last sentence. Your Blurb product will make your significant other, friend, or family member either weep uncontrollably (in a good way) or howl with laughter. Or maybe even both if the book is complicated. Anyway, try it.
mwilemon's recommendation
If you are looking for a really cool gift and a way to pass the time, this Blurb website is just for you. Download the software (free) and start making your very own book. You can choose to make a baby book, wedding book or whatever you want.

espy's recommendation
It's now ridiculously easy to create your own small run of books for gifts, portfolios, or even sales- in fact, Blurb functions much like the CafePress of vanity publishers, offering you the ability to sell your publications through their bookstore for free. Blurb offers a nice selection of formats ranging from small square ($12.95+), B&w text only ($4.95 each!) to a large coffee table book (54.95+). They offer full bleeds on hard covers and will print up to 440 pages (a 440 page 13"x11" hardcover with full bleed will cost $169.96, while a 40 page book will cost $56.95). Their handy layout software is nice for novices and works on both Mac and PC.
Madrigal's recommendation
Blurb gives you the tools to make your own publisher quality books. They're beautiful. Made one for my Mother's 70th birthday. Very easy to use their software and the book was very professional looking. She loved it :)
sciencegeek's recommendation
I got my dad a $50 gift certificate to Blurb and he spent about a month and a half putting together a book of pictures from an extended trip to the UK. I have a copy of his book sitting on my coffee table and it is great. Probably the best gift I've given in a long time - he really enjoyed playing around with various layouts and the image quality of the final product is quite good. You can now upload pdfs as well as individual pictures to make your book and even print a test pdf - heavily watermarked, of course. A great gift for new parents, a bride or groom, friends who travel, or just someone who takes pictures a lot.

Die Sonne war ein grünes Ei. Von der Erschaffung der Welt und ihren Dingen is a collection of fairy tales/myths by H.C. Artmann. The title literally means: The sun was a green egg. Of the creation of the world and its things.
Finished on 5.9.2016
The creation of the world as you've never seen it before: Maybe the sun really is an egg. Maybe Coffee Mill and Paper Kite are responsible for the creation of living things. Or maybe it was a magician and false prophet. Or…
Artmann created some very fantastic (in the literal sense) and weird stories, but in some ways they are more of the same old, same old – especially with regards to sexism. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading the collection for the most part.

Driveway Paver Installation
Our Driveway Pavers Recommendations
Although there is a large variety of pavers that can be used for driveways, we recommend the Orco Pietra, Belgard Mega Lafitt Slate and Belgard Bergerac pavers. Based off our experience and knowledge, these pavers are the most common and highly recommended for driveways.
Paving Stone Driveway Gallery
Get inspired by viewing our beautiful driveway pavers pictures!
Why Use Pavers For My Driveway?
Installing driveway pavers for your home instantly adds safety, durability, aesthetic appeal and increases the value. Driveway pavers are much stronger than concrete and overall a better option. We work with only the top paving stone manufacturers in Southern California.
The most important advantages about driveway pavers is the ease of maintenance. Many times customers need to dig under the driveway in order to replace broken utilities (sewer line, water line, electrical, gas…). With pavers, you can easily remove the area of concern and after you're done, reinstall the pavers as if it never happened. There are no scars or marks, and the cost is fairly low.
How Do We Install Driveway Paving Stones?
At Go Pavers, quality is always priority! Our paver installation goes above and beyond ICPI standards. It includes 4-6 inches of top quality Class 2 Road Base and we highly recommend geo-textile to maximize durability. We use only the highest quality materials and paving stones to ensure a long lasting paver driveway.
What Additional Costs May Be Added To My Driveway Paver Installation?
While we provide you with a starting price for your paving stone driveway installation, in some projects there may be additional services and products that can be required, such as the following:

The result came after a slow start to the day for Chandhok. The rain and a red flag early in the session meant he had to wait before going out on track for the first time on Saturday.
As a result, he only completed 10 laps to check out the cold and slippery Shanghai track and prepare for the decisive qualifying session. In the end, it made little difference as the Indian secured pole by 0.016 over Rebellion.
Sunday's race will be the first time Shanghai hosts a WEC round and it will also mark the end of the 2012 championship. Chandhok said: "I am absolutely thrilled with today's result. It's the first time we've finished as the fastest privateer car and it's a great feeling as we have promised it for so long.
"We know Sunday won't be easy as we are all very close here but we can be very happy with what we achieved today. I think we have improved massively during the season and it's good to be starting ahead of our main rivals.
"Sunday's race will be tough as the Strakka and Rebellion guys are very strong. The team is working hard and doing an excellent job and results like today's gives a confidence boost for tomorrow," he added.

Yesterday, Levon Helm, drummer/ lead singer from The Band passed away at the age of 71, after a long battle with cancer.
I just needed to post this... as a drummer who is also a singer, Levon was a huge inspiration to me. He was an incredibly underrated drummer, a master of tasteful understatement in a world that has been overwhelmed by overplaying for the sake of showing off technical prowess. His voice had that familiar quality that just truly fit the music The Band made...

Not that I ever expected it, but it would have been phenomenal to see a reunion of The Band... Too bad they kind of screwed each other over.
He will be missed, one of my favorite albums is The Last Waltz.

This one is good too:
RIP Levon

RIP indeed. Also RIP to Bert Weedon :(

RIP Levon
definitely a classic

I saw The Levon Helm Band play at ACL Fest in 2010. Levon could not sing because of his throat, but his drumming was still spectacular. It is unfortunate that The Band had to break the way it did, and then having Richard Manuel commit suicide, followed by the death of Rick Danko pretty much sealed it as far as reunions. Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm were never going to play together again without those guys.

RIP - Brilliant drummer (spoken as a frustrated drummer).

The author of the international bestsellers Gates of Fire and Tides of War delivers his most gripping and imaginative novel of the ancient world–a stunning epic of love and war that breathes life into the grand myth of the ferocious female warrior culture of the Amazons.
Steven Pressfield has gained a passionate worldwide following for his magnificent novels of ancient Greece, Gates of Fire and Tides of War. In Last of the Amazons, Pressfield has surpassed himself, re-creating a vanished world in a brilliant novel that will delight his loyal readers and bring legions more to his singular and powerful restoration of the past.
In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, King of Athens (an actual historical figure), set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the "free people," a nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called "Amazons." The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of "civilization." So when the great war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage.
Last of the Amazons is not merely a masterful tale of war and revenge. Pressfield has created a cast of extraordinarily vivid characters, from the unforgettable Selene, whose surrender to the Greeks does nothing to tame her; to her lover, Damon, an Athenian warrior who grows to cherish the wild Amazon ways; to the narrator, Bones, a young girl from a noble family who was nursed by Selene from birth and secretly taught the Amazon way; to the great Theseus, the tragic king; and to Antiope, the noble queen who betrayed tal Kyrte for the love of Theseus.
With astounding immediacy and extraordinary attention to military detail, Pressfield transports readers into the heat and terror of war. Equally impressive is his creation of the Amazon nation, its people, its rituals and myths, its greatness and savagery. Last of the Amazons is thrilling on every page, an epic tale of the clash between wildness and civilization, patriotism and love, man and woman.
For Lady Diana Davenport, they existed only in her books and dreams. There she could lose herself, becoming the licentious Diana, goddess of the hunt--far from the rigid restraints of eighteenth-century London, where she was courted by fops and fools. That is, until she tried on an authentic Roman helmet in an antiques store and was catapulted back in time, landing in Marcus Magnus's arms. This was no dream! She was lost in Aquae Sulis, the city she knew as Bath, prisoner of a Roman general who accused the violet-eyed beauty of being a Druid spy--and then made her his slave!
His words were soft, imperious, charged with danger and desire. Marcus Magnus was powerful, arrogant, and infuriating. A real man. And now Lady Diana was his slave, hostage to his will, vowing to fight him to the end--with every seductive weapon she possessed....
Virginia Henley is the author of eight romances published by Dell, including the New York Times bestsellers Seduced and Desired.
She divides her time between Ontario, Canada, and St. Petersburg, Florida.
From the Paperback edition.
All her life, raven-haired Anqet had basked in the tranquility of Nefer...until the day her father died and her uncle descended upon the estate, hungry for her land, hungry for her. Desperate to escape his cruel obsession, she fled. But now, masquerading as a commoner in the magnificent city of Thebes, Anqet faces
a new danger. Mysterious and seductive, Count Seth seems to be a soldier loyal to the pharaoh. Yet soon Anqet will find that he's drawn her into a web of treachery and desire, where one false move could end her life... and his fiery passion could brand her soul forever.
Set against the glorious opulence of the pharaoh's court, this is a breathtaking tale, rich with pageantry and aflame with unforgettable romance.
From the Paperback edition.
During China's infamous Tang Dynasty, a time awash with luxury yet littered with deadly intrigues and fallen royalty, betrayed Princess Ai Li flees before her wedding.
Miles from home, with only her delicate butterfly swords for defense, she enlists the reluctant protection of a blue-eyed warrior….
Battle-scarred, embittered Ryam has always held his own life at cheap value. Ai Li's innocent trust in him and honorable, stubborn nature make him desperate to protect her—which means not seducing the first woman he has ever truly wanted….
In a Britain struggling to survive Roman invasion, Eilan is the daughter of a Druidic warleader, gifted with visions and marked by fate to become a priestess of the Forest House.
But fate also led Eilan to Gaius, a soldier of mixed blood, son of the Romans sent to subdue the native British. For Gaius, Eilan felt forbidden love, and her terrible secret will haunt her even as she is anointed as the new High Priestess. With mighty enemies poised to destroy the magic the Forest House shelters, Eilan must trust in the power of the great Goddess to lead her through the treacherous labyrinth of her destiny.

"So gripping, your hands are glued to the book, and so vivid it burns itself into your mind's eye and stays with you long after you turn the final page."—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author
First-century Rome: a world of depravity, blood, and secrets. The ruthless and enigmatic Emperor Domitian watches over all—and fixes his gaze on one humble young woman...
Thea is a slave girl from Judaea, purchased as a toy for the spiteful heiress Lepida Pollia. Now she has infuriated her mistress by capturing the attention of Rome's newest and most savage gladiator—and though his love brings Thea the first happiness of her life, their affair ends quickly when a jealous Lepida tears them apart.
Remaking herself as a singer for Rome's aristocrats, Thea unwittingly attracts another admirer: the charismatic Emperor of Rome. But the passions of an all-powerful man come with a heavy price, and Thea finds herself fighting for both her soul and her sanity. Many have tried to destroy the Emperor: a vengeful gladiator, an upright senator, a tormented soldier, a Vestal Virgin. But in the end, the life of Domitian lies in the hands of one woman: the Emperor's mistress.
A.D. 69. The Roman Empire is up for the taking. Everything will change--especially the lives of two sisters with a very personal stake in the outcome.
Elegant and ambitious, Cornelia embodies the essence of the perfect Roman wife. She lives to one day see her loyal husband as Emperor. Her sister Marcella is more aloof, content to witness history rather than make it. But when a bloody coup turns their world upside-down, both women must maneuver carefully just to stay alive. As Cornelia tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams, Marcella discovers a hidden talent for influencing the most powerful men in Rome. In the end, though, there can only be one Emperor...and one Empress.
The timeless tales of King Arthur have been told throughout the ages as sterling examples of bravery, manhood, and heart-searing romance. But really, we know it's all about the men.
Here we have a re-imagined landscape of Arthurian love stories, a place in which contests of strength become contests of foreplay, a knight's favored squire may be his equally favored bedmate, and Lancelot is given his rightful place in history: at Arthur's side and in his bed, for as long as the two shall live.
Come, gentle readers, and venture into the world of yore, where men were men, and so are their lovers, and every warrior loves a good joust! Welcome to the world of Gay Knights and Horny Heroes—God save the King! (And the man at his side!)
Quick of mind and strong in spirit, Esther refuses to suffer the fate of her harem sisters and boldly challenges Xerxes to give of his heart before taking his pleasure, thus sealing her place beside him as queen. While conspiracy spins its diabolical web, Esther's mind and spirit waver, and she is forced to confront the past in order to save her future–and thus an entire nation.

Freedom Of Speech - Poem by Dave Alan Walker
Held back
by the powers that be
it's like a sedation of the mind
We are told where to go
we are told when to go
we are told to stand in line
We walk in coridores
made by government minds
we think we are free
but really we all walk
in single file

This is a brilliant clear, simple yet powerful poem. I was just thinking about this topic in the past few days of whether we are free or not as we discuss this in our lectures on philosophy of education. Are we not free though if we choose to walk in those corridors though made by the governments? and are we not free if we choose to walk in lines? :) (Report) Reply
Valerie Dohren (2/24/2013 1:06:00 PM)
Very true - this used to be considered a free country, but our freedom is being eroded away bit by bit. Great write Dave. (Report) Reply

Importing from WordPress.com after already importing from Blogger
I recently imported my Blogger blog into a self-hosted (with GoDaddy) WordPress blog. Unfortunately, using the Blogger importer resulted in an incomplete transfer, with about 40 posts missing, and only a tiny fraction of my comments were transferred (about 800 out of over 12,000). I couldn't find any way to import my Blogger export (XML) file (why is this not an option?), but since you can do this in WordPress.com. I was able to completely transfer everything over into a free WP blog. My question is, can I now import from that free WordPress.com blog, after I've already imported from Blogger? Am I going to end up with duplicate content? If I only had a few posts, I wouldn't care, but I have over 1100.
I am truly a beginner with WordPress, so I would really appreciate very clear, detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

|Continuum vmbuild problems
|Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:29:05 GMT
I'm not sure where I should raise this up but Archiva is having build problems in Continuum vmbuild. After releasing 1.2.2, there were three projects (XMLRPC modules) whose versions didn't seem to get updated to 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT even after forcing it to build (see http://vmbuild.apache.org/continuum/projectGroupSummary.action?projectGroupId=64). This in turn is causing the build of the other dependent modules as it could not find the 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT artifacts of these modules. Also, I noticed earlier today that there were two instances of Archiva queued in the Queues page. Should this be possible? I thought that if the project is already queued, it would no longer be added to the build queue again.. Thanks, Deng

March manufacturing output remains in a good spot, says ISM
While some of its key metrics saw sequential declines, manufacturing growth continues to head in the right direction, according to monthly Manufacturing Report on Business from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).
in the NewsThe Florida Ports Security and Technology Conference comes at a critical time UPS reports second quarter earnings gains Keeping up with, or replicating, Amazon is key to retailers' success, says AlixPartners research Another example of Amazon's innovation machine: more jobs PierPass marks another reduction in LA/LB port trucking congestion More News
While some of its key metrics saw sequential declines, manufacturing growth continues to head in the right direction, according to monthly Manufacturing Report on Business from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).
The PMI, the index used by the ISM to measure manufacturing activity—51.3 in March—was 2.9 percent lower than February's 54.2 which represents the highest PMI reading since June 2011s 55.8. A reading of 50 or higher indicates growth is occurring, and the PMI has now been over the 50 mark for the last four months. March's PMI was in line with the 12-month average of 51.7.
And economic activity in the manufacturing sector had expanded for 34 straight months prior to contraction in June and overall economic activity has now expanded for 46 straight months, according to ISM.
New Orders, which are commonly referred to as the engine that drives manufacturing, fell 6.4 percent to 51.4 in March, and Production—at 52.2—dipped 5.4 percent to 52.2. Employment was the lone metric with a monthly gain, rising 1.6 percent to 54.2.
"Overall, I felt March's data was still quite positive," said Bradley J. Holcomb, CPSM, CPSD, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, in an interview. "People have to understand that 51.3 as a PMI still represents the fact that the market was better than it was in February, just not at the same type of rate. The rate was down, but there is still growth. The same goes for New Orders, Production, and Employment."
The extent of the decline in New Orders—down 6.4—was significant but it came off a very strong February, Holcomb said. And for the first three months of the year on a cumulative basis, he explained that New Orders are on a very good path.
Looking at Production, Holcomb said that to a large extent it is viewed as a decision made by manufacturers to not get too ahead of themselves, with a healthy Backlog of Orders number, which was down 4.0 percent to 51.0 in March.
"This shows that there is plenty of work for manufacturers, but they may not have decided to do things like offer extra overtime or go gangbusters. Instead, it highlights the steady track they are on."
Supplier Deliveries declined 2.0 percent to 49.4 in March, and Inventories also dropped 2.0 percent to 49.5. And Prices fell 7.0 percent to 54.5.
Holcomb said that was a bigger decline in Prices than anticipated, as the first three months of a calendar year often see price increases floated by suppliers.
"This is in line with that but also very controlled," said Holcomb. "Inflation appears to be in check, too, based on our index."
Looking at the overall state—or condition—of manufacturing points to decent trends, which are intact on a year-to-date basis in 2013 and further boosted by things like improving consumer confidence and housing- and auto-related facets of the economy, which also are key in manufacturing output. Wood products and furniture and plastic products and fabricated metals for autos, coupled with electrical equipment, appear to be leading the way, he said.
March Manufacturing Exports posted a very strong month at 56.0 for a 2.5 percent gain. Holcomb noted that when looking at New Orders and Exports collectively it suggests that domestic orders were softer, with export strength providing a way to balance things out.
"Between exports at 56.0 and imports at 54.0 (unchanged from February), it shows that the global economy is alive and well in a participating and meaningful way," said Holcomb.

Posted 4 years ago
Set to launch October 22nd is the Apple iPad 5. The iPad mini 2 will be launched Oct 22, as well. Coming in an array of brilliant colors not unlike the iPhone 5S, this latest iPad is believed to have kind of a squared-off look to it similar to the iPad Mini.
The iPad 5 is said to have, (but it is at its unveiling that we all know for sure), a user ID fingerprint recognition feature that will not be on the iPad Mini 2.
A 64-bit A7X chip is thought to be onboard the iPad 5. If it is indeed so, owners of the device will have desktop/laptop power at the touch of their fingertips.
In San Francisco, California the launch event will take place at the scheduled date in this article's heading

About the Book
The author started a travel journal in Nov. 1998. For every place visited since then, she wrote a page in that place about her impressions there. Little did she think when she started the book that she would get to travel (along with her husband) to so many places on the globe. This book is a formal presentation of the same travel journal, covering a decade's travel (1998 to 2008). She hopes that the reader enjoys reading them and goes to that place mentally for a few moments. The notes are accompanied by beautiful photographs.

Your vagina doesn't require cleansing other than normal bathing. Frequent douching disrupts the vaginal balance and may increase your risk of vaginal infection. Douching won't clear up a vaginal infection. Avoid a sexually transmitted infection.

Okay firstly I should say that I'm a movie enthusiast, so I've seen a fair few films. Now of course, how good anything is, is always subjective & this post is purely that. -My- views on films I've watched (through gritted teeth) and not really enjoyed…or enjoyed somewhat but for reasons probably unintended oakley sunglasses cheap by the writer (like laughing at how bad the script is) … so here goes:
Awful – this was hyped to be action-packed amazing-ness with hints of "300" and drops of "Braveheart" (or maybe that's just what I wanted) – but it wasn't. It dragged on for what felt like 4 hours, and seemed to travel through time-periods or something. I just remember thinking of other ways I could have spent that evening and other films that were playing that night.
Sophie's Choice
This film is quoted as being a classic, is referred to endlessly cheap MLB Jerseys in popular culture and is generally one of those golden-oldies that will outlast time.
Emotional it is indeed, but it certainly isn't something I'd sit through again. It seemed to keep me in suspense for hours on end about the peculiar nature of the relationship between Sophie (played by Meryl Streep) and Nathan (played by Kevin Kline).
I wont ruin the endling, and what I will say is that in the cinematography and the actors' abilities were stellar. That said, whilst the film translated well, I feel its length was far Документальные too long and I went Cheap Ray Ban Sunglasses from being in suspense, to wanting to press fast-forward.
The Ex
I admire cheap nfl jerseys Zach Braff I really do. Scrubs was excellent while it lasted and while I certainly wouldn't say he's typecast, watching this film I couldn't take seriously (and yes I know its a comedy bear with me) the fact he was acting as anybody other than John Dorian. However, it wasn't really that that ruined the film…it just wasn't good. *shrugs*
Tropic Thunder
This was ridiculously annoying and I actually remember falling asleep mid-film. I didn't find the silly-humour funny – at all.
The only parts that stood out were the ones they showed in the trailer to advertise the film in the first place.
Usually with a comedy, it's hit or miss – but this had an A-star cast so I just didn't (and still don't) understand why people kept talking about it (positively) weeks after it was released.
Oh my goodness, this film Cheap Oakleys was hilariously-irritating. Now I'll explain why. The concept is clear, a vicious python creeps the dessert, pounces on unsuspecting victims and the outcome aint good!
From what I remember however, they used the exact same 'pounce' scene for each victim which was so funny it was annoying.
Now there is a possibility that I'm remembering this inaccurately as it was years ago I that I watched it – but one thing I'm certainly not forgetting is how cheap it looked and how tacky it was.
The Watchmen

Image Source
Some comic book fans might disagree with me but here goes – this film was so boring that again, I fell asleep.
Now, usually I'd give the film another try, but not this one. The storyline was predictable, the dark, neo-noir aspects didn't translate well enough – and most annoyingly, they marketed it like 'Sin City' which, in comparison, was an awesome film that knocks this one out of the park.
Perhaps one of the biggest downfalls of the movie, was its length – it was far too long, or perhaps I'm just being hyper-critical but for me, this was a 'once-and-once-only'.
Burn After Reading
This movie had one main flaw and one only. It just wasn't funny. Now call me hard to please, but if I buy something deemed 'an outrageous spy comedy' with an all-star cast, I'd like to think of it Cheap Jerseys as funny – I didn't.
Image Source
I was late to the game with this one, I bought it only last year (2010) firstly because I wanted to see it and secondly because I'm a huge fan of both Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
You have to bear in mind nfl jerseys cheap that my expectations were based on films like 'Meet the Parents', 'You, Me and Dupree', 'There's Something About Mary' and etc. I thought this would be laugh-out-loud funny like those were, and instead I sat through nearly 2 hours of annoying accents and absurd hair-do's (which actually was kinda amusing) but just not funny enough.
Now, to me, a film can only really be a let 'down' if your hopes were 'up' in the first place. If you initially thought the movie would suck, then it isn't really a letdown when it does, it just means you were right. In saying that, if you have anything to add, feel free to do so in the comments section below…

Our Immigrant Story
Hannah (my older sister)
She was the first one in my family who came to Toronto, Canada, in August, 2010 when she was in Grade 12. After she graduated from high school, she came to Vancouver and studying in SFU.
Johnny (my brother)
and my mother
After one year in 2011 I came to Toronto by myself, and studied in the same high school as my sister's.
In 2012, I changed school to Carson Graham Secondary. And live with my family
in North Vancouver.
Johnny and my mother
Because the experience me and my sister have. In 2012, my father decided to send my mother and my brother to Canada. He was in Cleveland Elementary and now transfer to Handsworth Secondary.
Our experience
The reason our family came to Canada because of the better education and life. And we really enjoy the life in Canada, is really what we expect. One thing difficult to my family members is language, because my parents do not speak English. My father usually come to Canada every 3 month.
