To Be Shocked That DS Got A 'D' In His First Half-Termly Report At Grammar School(114 Posts)
Not sure if I'm looking for reassurance or what but here goes...
DS has always been regarded as very good at maths by his teachers and us (well he was at primary school) and got a Level 5A in his KS2 SATs. He did do Level 6 and didn't pass but we assumed that was because he was actually ill when he did the exam (not an excuse but he did have slapped cheek virus quite badly) and the primary school teacher who was coaching his year to the Level 6 curriculum was off sick for the last half term so they didn't complete the work.
We had always assumed that he had passed his three 11+ exams on the basis of his maths, NVR/VR skills rather than his English (for which he got a 5B in KS2 SATS) which has never been his strongest subject not one that particularly interests him.
Note he hasn't been tutored in maths at all.
Anyway, going to a super-selective we were under no illusions that he would be a top dog in any subject, but in maths would have probably expected him to be average in the class. Looking at how he's been getting on in his homework it doesn't look as if he's had any major issues with not understanding the work.
So imagine our shock (and his) when he got his first report and although he has got Bs for most subjects (including English) which put him in the middle of the class (no problem with that especially as he is quite lazy), he got a 'D' for maths and is apparently one of the bottom three in the class of 30 boys!
What would your opinion be? I guess it might just be a reflection of the fact that in a boys grammar school they are generally maths whizzes, that a lot of them have been tutored and are working well above the baseline levels that you would expect even of grammar school children, that maths is one of those subjects that it's easier to coach ahead in and a lot of them have been coached ahead (he says that most of them have tutors although difficult to know whether that is indeed true), that he wasn't taught to such a high standard as other boys at his primary school or that he just isn't naturally as good at maths as his cohort?
I know that as parents we can think our children are brilliant when they're obviously not, but the thing is we have always wholeheartedly felt he has some latent skill at maths - maybe he has but just compared to his classmates it doesn't seem that way!
That would essentially put him in the bottom group in his Year (unless he just happens to be in the class most capable at maths!) which I find hard to believe as he is quite clearly a lot more competent than we were at the same age (and we went to grammar schools and were not in the bottom sets)
Hope to get some insights rather than being shouted down....I guess the bottom line is that in high achieving grammars someone has got to be at the bottom ;-(....
Hi gazzalw, joining this late...But I couldn't help being surprised at the way your DS school "grades" the students. It seems his grade depends on what the other children are attaining as in "average" or "top", whereas I always thought a grade reflects an individual's knowledge and attainment on a particular subject... Maybe the bar is set very high in grammar schools and it does reflect his first assesment results, but it shouldn't be explained to you in terms of position within the group, I don't think that's a constructive healthy way of thinking iykwim! But then it's all about competition these days isn't it. Very tiring.
Hi Hardboiled, yes I agree. Mind you, we did always used to complain that the primary school reports didn't at all reflect how DS was getting on in relation to his peers so maybe we've been hoisted by our own petard!!!
No, in a way I don't think it's constructive but DS is very competitive so I think it might be what he needs to get himself back in the running...
One would hope that these schools do know what they're doing and have a good rationale for doing it.... ;-)
I'm sure they do! And you're right, some kids do get their motivation out of knowing where they stand in relation to their peers.
Is it the way they work in public schools, does anyone know? I ask because there was talk of an academy being set up nearby (with some support from a Head from one of the well known public schools in the Home Counties) and they were very hot on the whole idea of year group league tables....
I honestly think what other boys do is irrelevant to what grade your son gets. There isn't a limit on how many A's can be handed out. Other boys being tutored doesn't stop your son working to a high ability. It maybe that he has been getting high marks easily but now that the work is harder he has to work harder as it comes less naturally to him.
Use this as a wake up call for all of you.
I think in selective and very selective schools it is more common to use the cohort in that school as some sort of benchmark as lots of the kids are on track for all or mostly As or A* at GCSE. Knowing roughly where your dc are can be useful as it provides context: what classes are like in their weaker subjects, how long homework should take. They are not necessarily to be competitive over (tho' am sure there is some of that but it happens anyway!).
One of mine was always in the middle at maths - that was reassuring because the middle get good grades. We just get told what the average mark in exams is for that year group, so you just have a rough idea.
For what it's worth, Ds was top at his local state primary school, when he started sec private school(untutored) , only average. I also know that by midterm/now the grades in some subjects are only assessed by 1 or 2 tests.If unlucky with these he might not have shown his real capabilty.
(dd wants to be a hairdresser or a waitress, don't think she would be interested in engineering, astronaut or accountancy....)
"I'm sure they do! And you're right, some kids do get their motivation out of knowing where they stand in relation to their peers."
And you think they don't know? However much we try to prevent them from finding out?
Seeker, true say
DD knows EXACTLY where she stands in relation to her individual classes and sets/year group.
Kids do have a feel for where they are in their group...given this, I wonder whether it is actually better for them to have an accurate placement rather than one that may be a bit skewed by over/under confidence?
Not necessarily individual places but average and range is useful.
Not true that all children know their exact class ranking though - maybe most have a fairly accurate idea, a fair few have either inflated or deflated opinions of their ability and one or two dreamers drift along without having a clue (or caring).
Well I wouldn't say DS is overly confident but he obviously had a vastly over-inflated view of his class position in maths!!! He reckoned he was in the middle!
Like others have said, it may be that he just did relatively badly on an end of topic test, but is middling in lessons
DS at super selective grammar. The letter grades were for effort and the attainment was measured as a sat score, maybe it is the same.

Did your parents have you collect change for UNICEF on Halloween? Ours (wife) did. Finally after 60 years, that little orange box has been updated. Part of the day job but too cute not to share.
Already ate the bag of candy we purchased for Halloween. Technically we bought it for ourselves and pretended it was for the kids. Not to worry, we will replenish it.
So. Wrong. How about a good old fashioned sexy witch, nurse or french maid? In addition to sassy Sesame Street costumes, Yandy.com even offers to turn you into a sexy Tootsie Roll. Ew.
See you upstate!

Twitter reacts to Burgess' debut
Sam Burgess made his hotly-anticipated England rugby union debut on Saturday as France came to Twickenham.
The league convert is desperate to earn himself a World Cup place and all eyes were on the Yorkshireman.
His switch from the 13-a-side code has not been without criticism but if Twitter is anything to go by, tonight was the night he won people - well some of them - over.
"Good 1st half by England. Slade & Watson have been phenomenal. Burgess has been immense and Goode & May have been solid in defence." - Women's World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi enjoyed Burgess' show.
"Wow... Burgess an Slade looking a potential world class combo so far." - So did Mark Cueto.
"I hope #slade and #burgess are given a full 80 together I'm enjoying them as a unit." - Ex-England captain Lewis Moody.
"Well done @EnglandRugby , well done @SamBurgess8." - Burgess' former boss at the South Sydney Rabbitohs - the Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe.
"There was no way Stuart Barnes was gonna give Sam burgess man of match. He just can't handle that league players can play kick and clap." - Ex-Warrington playmaker and former league opponent Lee Briers felt Burgess should have been rewarded by commentator Stuart Barnes.
"I think the Sam Burgess yellow card could be a deciding factor for RWC inclusion..." - 2003 World Cup winner Matt Dawson feels Burgess' sin binning could haunt him.

The word "blizzard" has been tossed about in the northwest today. The wind is wildly dancing outside and it is likely that we will get a mix of rain, wind, and snow for a few days. The media shall stir things up worse than the mighty wind and midwestern relatives will call to be sure we're okay. We will tell them we have 2 inches of snow and they will laugh and the world will be okay again. Hot soup is the only remedy.
- 1 pound great northern beans, picked over, rinsed and drained
- 6 cups water for soaking + 7 cups water for cooking
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large smoked ham hocks, (or 1 pound smoked ham, shredded or diced)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place beans and 6 cups of water in a large bowl. Discard any beans that float to the top of the water. Soak overnight (or 7-8 hours).
After soaking time is done, drain beans and set aside.
Braise ham hocks in olive oil over medium high heat on all sides (skip this step if not using ham hocks). Remove ham hocks from heat and set aside. Place chopped onion into remaining olive oil and cook until onions are golden or somewhat translucent. Add minced garlic if desired.
Pour about seven cups of water into the pot with onions. Add beans then ham hocks (or ham) back into the pan as well.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about an hour. Add celery and carrots. Add salt & pepper to taste. Cook for another 30-60 minutes – until done. If using ham hocks, remove and allow to cool to the touch. Remove ham from them and place ham pieces back into the soup.
Yes, we Seattlites will never make friends with the snow. Soup, on the other hand, well, it makes everything okay. Add corn muffins smothered in honey butter and blizzard? What blizzard?

In Spain, vocational training is understood as the set of training activities that prepare people for the qualified performance of diverse occupations, access to employment and active participation in social, cultural and economic life. It includes the sorts of teaching provided in vocational education and training in the education system (administered jointly between the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and the Education Departments of the Autonomous Communities) and Vocational Training for Employment (administered jointly between the Ministry of Employment and Social Security and the Autonomous Communities).
Both of them contemplate the vocational integration and reintegration schemes for workers, and schemes oriented towards continuous training in companies enabling the acquisition and continuous updating of occupational skills.
In the case of Vocational Education and Training in the Education System, EQAVET plays an important role as a guide for quality assurance since Royal Decree 1147/2011 emphasises the importance of quality assurance in VET and establishes the National Quality Assurance Framework for VET and the Quality Network for VET. Taking into consideration that the final purpose of the European recommendation is to support Member States to promote and monitor continuous improvement of their VET systems, quality assurance systems in Spain are in line with EQAVET regarding the quality cycle, descriptors and indicators.

Israel Houghton Featured On The King's Men Tour With Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, Donnie Mcclurkin
Major Market US Tour Follows Aug. 14 Release Of First Live Recording From Israel & New Breed In 5 Years, Jesus At The Center; Current Radio Singles "It's Not Over (When God Is In It)," "Your Presence Is Heaven" Hit iTunes® in July
Having individually headlined sold out concerts internationally, the four music celebrities join forces in what Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading live entertainment and ecommerce company, is banking to be a hit for the fall touring season.
"In the Gospel world, this is like Springsteen, McCartney, Prince and Elton hitting the road together," said Kevin Morrow, Senior Vice President of Touring at Live Nation, in a recent news release. "It'
For Houghton, the tour follows two back-to-back Billboard Top 200-selling, GRAMMY Award-winning solo studio albums, as well as his first live recording in five years with New Breed, Jesus At The Center, which releases Aug. 14 on Integrity Music. Recorded live over four days in front of more than 29,000 worshippers at Houston's Lakewood Church, this double-CD, 18 song album with three additional studio singles features Israel & New Breed returning to their roots, delivering new anthems for the modern day church.
"We purposely wanted to emphasize being a resource to the church worldwide," says Houghton. "As we embark on the second decade as a cross-cultural worship movement, we pray these songs speak life, love, hope and favor over you… and most importantly place Jesus at the center of His global church."
Joining Israel & New Breed on the studio version of the Gospel single from Jesus At The Center, "It's Not Over (When God Is In It)," are acclaimed vocalists Jason Nelson and James Fortune. The single, which is available on iTunes® July 3, has already garnered the No. 1 Most Added status at radio, and debuted at No. 22 last week on the Billboard Gospel Songs chart. The Christian AC single produced by hit maker Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Britt Nicole), "Your Presence Is Heaven," is available on iTunes July 17.
Other guest vocalists featured on the live recordings are Aaron W. Lindsey, Michael Gungor, T-Bone, Bishop Michael Pitts, Jeremiah Woods, Daniel Johnson, Charlin Moore, Adam Ranney, Tina Baker, Onaje Jefferson, Krystle Harper and Israel's daughter, Mariah Houghton.
In addition to the Jesus At The Center two-disc album, a companion DVD was recorded live in high-definition and features all 18 songs along with behind the scenes footage, story-behind-
In 1995, Israel and Meleasa Houghton founded New Breed Ministries, an organization they continue to run and that is comprised of noted musicians and singers who serve within their respective churches and together serve the Church at large. Since then, Israel & New Breed has amassed a legion of followers that crosses generational and African American, Latin and Caucasian listener lines. While blasting down barriers, Israel has been fittingly graced with 2 Gold-selling albums, 4 GRAMMY Awards, 12 Dove Awards, 2 Stellar Awards and a Soul Train Award.
Active as worship leader in his local church, Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church (Houston), Israel has served as worship leader at Hillsong conferences and Franklin Graham crusades. He has written or co-written 11 CCLI Top 500 favorites, been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, accompanied Alicia Keys at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards for a performance of George Michael's "Freedom '90," and performed at the 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards. He uses his own multi-cultural upbringing as a reference point with a desire to draw people of all races, ages and cultures together.

Cooperative DELA
Funeral and life insurance specialist DELA focuses on the continuity of life. Since its founding in 1937, the cooperation has followed the principle "together we are stronger and can achieve more". It is DELA's ambition that its members can face the future as problem-free as possible. To achieve this and to help its clients better, the various IT systems were due for an update.
For members
A cooperative is there for its members. DELA has therefore raised the question what would need to change to the organization to make it revolve more around the demands of its members. There were several computer systems that contained client data. When clients contacted the organization, it was not always possible to see all related information at a glance. But this is what clients expect, and rightly so.
"To achieve our goals, a good IT system is crucial. We must have a system that enables employees to serve our members with the right data. The same system should facilitate direct access by customers. We have realised this by working with a number of highly specialized IT companies, including Axon Olympus." says Alfo Melisse, CIO at Cöoperatie DELA.
One customer image
The aim of the update was to not only provide better service to members, but also to allow DELA staff to work more efficiently and even more customer focused. A new employee portal allows for fast and responsive answers to any questions clients may have.
Raymond Aerts, Project Manager at Cöoperatie DELA, explains: "Over the decades, the organization has collected various types of customer information. This information was stored in different systems. Of course, we desired one client image: who is the customer, what products does he (or she) use, and how does he want to be contacted? When we have all this data readily available, we can achieve a more personal approach. For instance, employees can congratulate a client on his birthday or be sympathetic because we are aware that a family member has passed away."
New CRM system
In order to make all this this happen, DELA had its customer data centralized in a modern CRM system from Microsoft Dynamics. Information from a dozen different databases was incorporated in this single system. At the same time, customer and product data has been cleaned.
Kristel van Reenen, Program Manager at KGW Cöoperatie DELA, says: "We now have an environment where our employees no longer need to consult various computer systems. In the new system, they will find all the information about our members, from product data to contact info. It is possible to see, for instance, that the family composition of a member has changed. We can take advantage of this by making customized offers. We will also provide members with online access to their data so they can self-serve if they wish. We know there is a demand for this."
Axon Olympus central in large project
Linking all the information together was obviously a huge challenge. In addition, the IT staff had to learn to think in the form of services (SOA). Consultants from Axon Olympus were in the midst of this project. They helped by setting up of a reference architecture and provided assistance with practical issues, such as a development cookbook and work instructions. They were also the hub between the other parties with regards to data exchange. Together with Axon Olympus, the system was built in the record time of five months.
DELA is very positive about the cooperation with Axon Olympus. Raymond Aerts: "It is a group of professionals that deliver what they promise. They understand the context and the issues. Also, they are experts in their field and only deliver the best possible quality."

Hong Kong fails in attempt to halt 20-year slide in birth rate
Researchers claim attempts to reverse decline in the past were misdirected as they prepare to launch the city's biggest demographic survey
Researchers about to launch Hong Kong's largest demographic survey say attempts to halt the 20-year decline in the city's birth rate have proved ineffective.
And they suggested alternative policies could have increased the birth rate by nearly a third.
The team at the University of Hong Kong will begin a five-year study after receiving funding of HK$3.7 million from the government's University Grants Committee last month.
But in their preliminary findings released ahead of the policy address today, they questioned repeated appeals by former chief executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen for families with two children to have a third child.
This would potentially have increased the birth rate by only 10 per cent, they said.
Instead, the government would have been better off encouraging childless couples to have one baby and those with one child to have two.
They concluded this could have increased the birth rate by 30 per cent.
Professor Paul Yip Siu-fai, leader of the research team, said: "To go from two to three [children] involves serious considerations about living space and the cost involved. But couples without children or with one child are more willing to give birth if they are encouraged."
At present, more than 60 per cent of the city's married couples have not had children or have had only one child.
The birth rate of Hong Kong has consistently dropped from 1,933 per 1,000 women in 1981 to 1,204 in 2011, below the replacement level of 2,100. It is projected to sink to 1,151 by 2041.
Yip will sit on a steering committee on population policy which will hold its first meeting on Friday. He said the study would also address what the researchers said was a failure to lay out a road map to tackle the issue of the city's ageing population. They will look at the impact of the ageing population on health care services, welfare provision, the labour force and the economy.
Experts had warned that ageing problems would become more apparent from last year as "baby boomers" born after the second world war began turning 60 and entering retirement.
By 2041, it is estimated that a third of the city's population city will be over 65, compared with 13 per cent in 2011.
Co-investigator Alfred Chan Cheung-ming, chairman of the Elderly Commission, said: "We need better housing, education and a better environment to encourage births, and we also need to retain old people with rich experience and knowledge in the workforce."
Yip said past research had proved to be fragmented, with some of it misleading.
He added: "For example, some have created a social stigma against mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.
"In fact, many of these parents are professionals who are highly educated."

Matching horoscopes? It certainly gets everyone going.
The age-old practice of seeking divine validation for marriage proposals still dominates the run-up to the wedding, in southern India more than anywhere else.
In Delhi, where we lived for a long while, a Punjabi neighbour told my mother, "You know, if we get a suitable boy as a match, we sometimes fudge the girl's age, even if she is older. How does it matter? No one knows the exact time of birth, and who looks at the watch to note when a child is born?"
Precisely. The exact time of birth, more often than not, remains a mystery but astrologers always pretend otherwise. And even if we get the time exactly according to the clock, who can say the hospital or home clocks, wherever the child is born, show the exact time? And what do they mean by the exact time, anyway? But I have noticed that no one bothers to ask these questions.
Recently, a widowed friend started girl-hunting for her son. In her case the horoscope had matched perfectly with that of her late husband's, but her marriage ran into serious trouble and ended in divorce. But she dismissed it as a freak incident and started looking for a bride. She found a nice girl, pretty, not very ambitious, with a decent job, who wanted a work-life balance, just the kind, in fact, mothers-in-law dream about.
But Shyamala was not satisfied with what she had. Would the horoscopes match? Unlike the practical Punjabi, she wanted the stars to endorse the union. When she asked me, I said be practical.
After all, I reasoned, the caveman just took a "wife" to perpetuate the species. He had a simpler life in a hostile environment. He needed stability in domestic life. The arrangement worked, he and his partner produced heirs, the lady of the house was well-fed and did not have to go hunting.
Of course, she didn't listen. The reflex of tradition was too strong to ignore, so she went to an astrologer who is even more sold on the stars. He only reads horoscopes on certain days at specific auspicious times. The verdict of such a paragon has to be final, so when he said the horoscopes did not match I saw a good thing slipping away.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very eerie
I love this one. This song sounds GREAT. I have to add this one to my favorites. It is eerie and cold. Almost sounds like background music to a baron winter desert land.
The only thing I didn't like which kind of disrupted the mood a little bit was at around 0:33 the bells or something become a little piercing for my ears. It's a little too high frequency for my taste.
Other than that you did a fantastic job of creating such a melancholy cold sorrowful song. I gave this a 5 and added it to my favorites. Have a good one :)
Well, thanks a lot for the comments, I never actually noticed that the pitch of the bells you mentioned is too high since my headphones have a whole lot of bass, so it dulls the sound a bit. Also, I never thought about it as background music for an icy setting, I guess I was too concentrated on getting the feeling of the contest and depict the emotional side of it. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for taking the time to review!

i am so glad that i didn't stop looking after your user page after i've read that you eventually want to collect sufficient tracks for a new CD and so it would last a long time till your audience will be capable of hearing anything new.
that is one hell of a good happy hardcore and d'n'b mix !
the beginning reminded me a bit of pendulum.. which song was that ?
further on perfectly high-speed and .. happy :3
still including the phenomenon of your songs being written in the unmistakeable zero-bass-style but remaining newly.
despite of me liking the "whole" song very much also, it was obviously a very good idea to submit the looping part also. proven with score difference.
finally you gathered all the instruments necessary to make a perfect song ^_^
i hope very much that you'll catch a good label. you have proven for years that you deserve it.
one the other hand, i hope you keep submitting tracks on newgrounds no matter what quality. they are all unbeatable.
regards, thanks (also for inspiration) and best wishes for future
Thank you for the long and awesome review Oddler!
That track of Pendulum..you know while i created the song i didn't even noticed the similarity :D..yes the intro reminds of "Blood Sugar"
Thank you Oddler ;)
This Way DEMO
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I swear this is an iPod commercial song haha
This song is one of those songs that stick in your ears for the rest of the day. I really liked the guitar, although it was a little repetitive. The drums were nice, liked them. Also, I liked the low sound parts of the song, mostly the one with 50 seconds in the song.
This kinda sounds like that one song from the old Apple iPod commercials....I think there is a small hint of The Vines (I think that was the bands name that did that old iPod commercial)
It's way too bad this is only a darn demo. It's received so many friggin' views sinced it launched a year and a half ago...really great job. I have a feeling this song won't be transformed into a real bonafied non-demo song though, lol. The only real complaint I have with this song is that it ends too soon, lol. Great work, man.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I've never seen a song get so many hits! Truly an accomplished song.You are destined to become one of the greatest video-game music makers of all time. This song reminds me of the music off of one game... Iridion 3D... except for the fact that it is like 20 some odd times better.
I have no idea how many times I've listened to this, but it's a rather large number.
I am compelled by how well orchestrated the song is.. the melody, the harmonies, counter-melody, percussion, FX, filter cuts... It's.. really well put together, well.. all of your songs seem to be.
I hope you get back to cranking out tunes solid again soon. Songs like this remind me why you were in the old audio box player... It's good stuff.
BTW: What audio program do you use.. I've heard FL, but you definitely get away from a sound that is easily traceable to one of the main programs.. I'd like to see one of your song files sometime.. I imagine I'd be able to learn a lot.. even though this isn't really my genre. lol
Oh by the way...I saw your picture and you're fucking hot. 9/10 and 5/5 Peace.
Karco - Rush (Demo)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
hahaha. This thing destroyed my ear drums, dude, lol. I had headphones on and it totally pwned my ears. After the initial shock and some lowering of the volume I gave it a second go since it didn't sound like it sounded bad when I tossed my headphones off my ears.
You have a real interesting song here by the way. It doesn't quite feel like a demo since it's almost two minutes long but hey :P The song sounds generally pretty good and has a nice ring to it. Also....I hate to say and admit it but having the songs volume so darn loud made the song a bit more distinctive and fun to listen to than most songs. The only thing I would think you would need to work on the song would be to subtract a bit of the main melody and or change it up a bit. The ending was nice though. Not a bad song. I think it's worth about an eight in my books. I'll vote 5 too.
Ouch, sorry! XD
Yeah, huh? Thing is, trance songs typically stretch to somewhere between six and ten minutes long. That makes this a demo. ;D What exactly did you mean concerning the melody, though?
Anyway, thanks for the review and the 5, glad you liked it. :D

Love Metal
Very head banging song you got here. Sounds like the guitars are ripping through something. Sounds like I'm being pummeled by a machine gun of sounds with your drums at times :)
The song , to me, felt like it was on the edge of being simple into having a good amount of differentiating content on it. Just by a teensy bit. I just read now that you also mentioned that on your Author comment so I don't feel alone now. Still sounds really good and kicks some nice ass.
Definitely could use a bit more work but overall I think the song sounds pretty good and fun to listen to. I love Metal Songs :3 . . . I give you an 8 and a 5. Not bad. Later!
Finding a Way
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
You've got a pretty sweet sound going on here. Your piano is excellent and gives this piece a nice bit of refinement without it being too formal. There's a moderness to the song with that nice touch of class to it. Wish I could tell you this is something I could dance too by checking your genre title but I can't dance XP
This song has double pianos right? Double keyboard or something...not sure. Anyway, real bang up job here...missing just a certain something to the song but a really nice tune to listen to. I'm on my 3rd playthrough right now and can't put my finger on what it could use...maybe some bass although it does sound like one of the pianos hits those low notes on occassions.
Great job, peace. Solid 9 here and a 5.
Rumble (Demo)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
There is a lot of promise in this song. I do feel however some things weren't executed as well as it could have been. The song felt lonely a lot of the way in. There was only that one main instrument used in some parts and it just didn't feel too right. I think that instrument should have had something else really playing with it. There was this sound in the background that sounded a bit weird and interesting though...it was like almost interference or some sound in the background that accidentally was recorded in real time while you were playing and recording the song.
Sorry if I sound a bit incoherant...it's getting late^^
Although, I think this song is decent it could have done a little bit better with some extra work on it. Reading your author comment it seems like you didn't quite put the finishing touches on it, lol. So there is much forgiveness! Anyway, I need some rest soon. Have a great day. PEACE
Yes thank you.. i agree that it could use alot more... but It was only a small project of one night that I did not take any further..
Thank you for the constructive criticism I appreciate it alot!
hope you have a good day aswell :D!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Based on a true story, ehh? lol. This track sounds totally pimp is all I can think of. I loved every bit of the song and it was made to be of EPIC PROPORTIONS! The horns, drums and monk-esque vocals in the background really do make this piece feel awesome.
Part of me feels this may be from some big Hollywood movie due to it sounding so professionally written. You really did a great job with seriously *EVERYTHING* I can't explain well enough how awesome this song is. I'm definitely giving you a maximum vote of 5 and maximum review score of 10. I'm also adding this to my favorites and may listen to it later when I need to make something with an epic and seriouslyy dramatic sound to it.
Once again...great freaking job!!! I'm thuroughly impressed with your work. Shine on!

Epicly Amazing
There aren't many Newgrounds submissions that are on this level of QUALITY. There's this unique quality about this song where as I listened to it for a second and a half...I realized how good this song was going to be. You really didn't let me down as I listened further. This is definitely one hard rockin Metal song. Every part seems impeccably polished.
As I listened to this song I thought to myself.....Bill & Tedds excellent adventures LOL. Not sure if you'd approve of that but that's what first came to my mind...I have no idea why :P As I listened further I was almost forced to envision some sort of racing video game (and I don't even play racing games)...Captain FALCON comes to mind hehe. Ok. This song totally rips my anus and makes it bleed with the power and masculinity in it I had to give a great Review for it!!
This song is DEFINITELY worth a 10...if I could make this a 12 I would. There is no doubt in my mind what I will vote on it (5) and wish this song with over 20k hits a good day! Peace out.

Dutch police are seeking to arrest doctor Yusuf Sonmez, accused by EU prosecutors in Kosovo of organised crime and people trafficking from a Pristina clinic where organ-trading took place.
|Yusuf Sonmez.
Dutch officers are attempting to detain Sonmez, a Turkish doctor accused of being a key figure involved in trafficking in human organs at the Medicus clinic in Pristina, after Kosovo informed them about his whereabouts, a source close to the investigation told BIRN on Thursday.
"We are waiting for the results of the search by our Dutch colleagues," the source said.
Sonmez and an Israeli national, Moshe Harel, are accused of people trafficking and organised crime by the EU rule-of-law mission in Kosovo, EULEX, and are listed as fugitives wanted by Interpol.
They have been on the run since the indictment against them was issued in June 2011.
Serbia's office for war crimes prosecution said on Tuesday that organ trafficking suspect Sonmez, originally from Turkey, had been located in Amsterdam last week and that the information had been passed to the EU chief prosecutor in Kosovo.
EULEX's chief spokesperson Miguel Carvalho de Faria confirmed to BIRN that the Serbian war crimes prosecutor had been in touch with Kosovo's Special Prosecution Office, which was now "making the necessary inquiries with relevant authorities to ascertain the veracity of this information".
In April last year, a Kosovo court convicted the owner of the Medicus clinic and four others of participating in an illegal organ-trading ring that harvested and sold human kidneys.
Sonmez and Harel, both suspected of collaborating with the convicted men, could not be prosecuted because they had already absconded.
The verdict said that around 30 illegal kidney transplants took place at the clinic in 2008.
Poor people from Turkey, Russia, Moldova and Kazakhstan were brought to the clinic after being assured that they would receive up to 15,000 euro for their kidneys.
The EULEX prosecutor in the case said that transplant recipients, mainly Israelis, paid more than 70,000 euro for the kidneys.
The Serbian prosecution also alleges that Sonmez was part of a group that Belgrade claims harvested organs of Serbs abducted during the Kosovo conflict at a building called the 'Yellow House' in Albania in 1999.
The Medicus clinic was also mentioned in a 2011 Council of Europe report which alleged that former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters, some of them now high-ranking politicians, traded in the organs of prisoners during the 1999 conflict.
An EU task force set up to investigate the Council of Europe report's allegations said in July that its findings were consistent with what was claimed in 2011.
"There are compelling indications that this practice did occur on a very limited scale and that a small number of individuals were killed for the purpose of extracting and trafficking their organs," said the chief prosecutor of the EU task force, Clint Williamson.
It is not yet clear whether anyone will be indicted on these charges at a special new court dealing with war crimes in Kosovo which will be established next year in The Netherlands.
This is the sequence of events leading from the organ-trafficking allegations in Kosovo to the creation of the special court that aims to prosecute Kosovo Liberation Army crimes.
Corruption allegations have not dented the popularity of the KLA- fighter-turned-PDK politician who has made it his mission to transform the country's traffic arteries.
The Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, was an ethnic Albanian guerrilla group that came to the fore in the mid-1990s, demanding the unification of Albanian territories in former Yugoslavia with Albania.
The Kosovo Liberation Army maintained a network of prisons in their bases in Albania and Kosovo during and after the conflict of 1999, eyewitnesses allege. Only now are the details of what occurred there emerging.
Crime gang allegedly headed by Prime Minister Thaci is said to have run a range of mafia-like enterprises, from cigarette smuggling to trafficking in organs.

TV tuner - Is it worth having?
Sorry if this is a repeat or in the wrong section.
I'm currently thinking about getting a TV tuner in my PC. The pc is in my "game room" (spare room i call my game room lol). I was thinking about using the pc mainly for gaming but would like to use it for media streaming and possibly TV if it is worth it.
I only have freeview in my home as im not a believer of paying for extra channels for which most i wont watch.
Is it worth me getting a tuner or should i just bring an arial to my TV and use the TV's freeview. PS im using an LG 42" HDTV as my monitor.

I currently use Windows Media Center to watch TV on my computer, which comes in handy when the boss wants to watch her favourite programs on our main TV.
Providing you have access to a TV aerial and a co-axial lead to hook up your TV tuner to it you'll have all you need.

If you like to watch TV on your monitor, TV tuners are good enough ! Matching with your needs and budget, you may opt for an an external one, or an internal one.
Most probably, the external tuners doesnt have the TV capturing facility.
|My System Specs
|26 Apr 2012
Do u get any additional channels or would it just be normal freeview channels, if the later then i might as well just bring an aerial to my TV/monitor. I already have an aerial and booster/splitter set up in the home so i would just be a case of drilling into the game room and connecting. This will also save on additional costs of the TV tuner.
On the other hand i wouldn't be able to record etc unless i purchased a recorder.

If you are on Freeview you'll get all the normal channels as well as any others that are available and you're able to tune in to.
I use Freeview and get my signal from the BBC's Sandy Heath transmitter and can get 91 channels - TV, Radio and a few others.

Here in the UK, the terrestial analog transmitters have been switched off so the only TV tuner required now is for the Freeview digital TV channels including some HD channels.
Of course, a lot more channels are available through cable and satellite TV providers, for which a decoder is required.

VERNON - A time-honoured tradition won't be on the lineup of events for Canada Day in Vernon this year due to a shift in the event's organizational structure.
Normally, Vernon resident Terry Schmauder would lead preparations for the Canada Day fireworks show, something he's done for the past 12 years. But that all changed when the city announced it wanted to dissolve the fireworks committee Schmauder chaired in favour of a new organizational structure.
"(By) request from the City of Vernon, it was agreed that 2014 would be the final Canada Day evening event that would be organized and presented by the Vernon Canada Day Fireworks Committee with (me) stepping out of the role," Schmauder says. "A new society was to be formed with volunteers along with representation from the City of Vernon in order to avoid liability exposure on the part of the City."
Moving from a committee to a society reduced the city's liability and created legal distance between it and the event, Schmauder says.
"The committee was set up years ago by a former mayor and as such it's been operating under the committee status," Schmauder says. "Now they're looking at all the legal ramifications and decided it would be wise for them to create a society, a distinct entity not directly done by the city."
But the new society has yet to be created, and as such, no planning has gone into this year's fireworks show, and the city has no intention of assuming responsibility.
"I think sometimes the impression is the city was always involved with running the Canada Day festivities but it has never been involved in either event (fireworks and the celebrations in Polson Park)," Mayor Akbal Mund says. "We supported the events, but it was always handled through volunteer people."
With dry conditions and an annual fireworks ban in place (previous events had to get an exemption from the ban), Mund questions whether the city would even support holding the event this summer, even if funds were available.
Past events have cost around $30,000 and while Schmauder applied for and secured a grant for this year's event, Mund says further donations and sponsorships would still be needed. He says council will see what it can do to 'get the ball rolling' for next year but adds organizing the event is not likely something council would take on in the future.
"I think we'll have people wanting to come forward," Mund says. "What we'll be doing is getting people within the community to join the board and look at how to move this forward."
But Schmauder doesn't see much hope for Canada Day fireworks returning to the city. He says the city is 'seeking alternatives' to fireworks going forward.
"I get the impression they're trying to move in a different direction," he says.
In all the years fireworks were put on for Canada Day, there were never any mishaps and numerous firefighters and engines were always on site to ensure safety, Schmauder says.
"In particular I would like to extend my appreciation to Bill Wacey and all the BX Fire Hall pyro technicians, as well as Lawrie Skolrood for their many years of service to the event and finally, thank you to everyone in the community for coming out to see the show," Schmauder says.
He fully expects community members will step up and fill the void with a new, fun and exciting event to celebrate Canada Day.

There are already a bunch of local groups and meetups forming here in the forum and elsewhere around the web. So this week we thought we would encourage more of it!
One of the best things about the internet (and forums like this one) is the ability to connect with like-minded people from all over the world. We get to learn from one another, encourage each other and make lifelong friends.
It doesn't have to be a Rockstar Finance meetup, and it doesn't have to involve hundreds of people. Meet up with one person for lunch or beer and the mission will be completed!
Here are a few places you can easily find others who love this money stuff as much as you do:
Rockstar Forum "Clubs"Mr. Money Mustache MeetupsFinCon LocalYour own circle of family or friends?
Schedule a meetup with at least one other person, and then come back and tell us how it went. And let us know if you find other great groups/forums as well we should be checking out!
Post your meet up details here and in your local group.Bonus points for meet up pics!
Love this!! We just had our 2nd Chicago FIRE meetup thanks to this page. Our next event is scheduled for June 5 to include a visiting guest of honor, @RetirementManifesto. Nothing on the books for this week but I will see if I can't get a one on one with someone. Can't wait to hear everyone else's stories!
Wow, I don't think I've ever been a Guest Of Honor (shouldn't that be capitalized?). Does this mean I have to dress well? Looking forward to meeting all of our Chicago-area members on June 5!!
Don't get too excited...Guest of Honor pays.
What, ha? I'm afraid my computer just broke. I can't seem to hear you....
I organized a MMM Meet Up last month in Kansas City. This was the 2nd MMM Meet Up we've had.
I'm planning on a FinCon / RockStar meet up in a couple months.
Such good timing on this challenge! I just got all the arrangements in order for a meetup in the suburbs of Washington DC next month:
Hoping for huge success! (Which I define as: excited people show up and have a wonderful time!)
We have a meetup in Paoli, PA on Saturday, April 29 at 2 PM, if anyone is interested in joining us. There are four couples attending so far!
J's gonna be there?! Jelly!

Panama's former strongman Manuel Noriega will arrive home on Sunday following his extradition from France to serve prison time in his native land, Panama's foreign minister said Wednesday.
"Noriega will arrive on Sunday in Panama on an Iberia flight at 5:30 pm," the minister, Roberto Henriquez, said in a Twitter post.
A Panamanian team including members from the foreign ministry, police and medical staff, has been in Paris since Sunday taking care of paperwork and medical checks before Noriega is sent to his home country.
The former US ally, now 77, ruled Panama from 1983 until his overthrow in a US invasion in 1989.
A longtime intelligence chief who became the country's military ruler in 1983, Noriega spent 21 years in a Miami prison on drug charges after his overthrow, and then was extradited to France, where he was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of laundering money for the Medellin drug cartel.
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli last Friday said Noriega will have to serve three 20-year jail terms for the abduction of opponents: Hugo Spadafora, a doctor and former deputy health minister, in 1985; Captain Moises Giroldi in 1989; and union activist Heliodoro Portugal in 1970.
Martinelli had said Noriega would be extradited at some point between December 6 and 13, and be jailed immediately. Panama plans to jail him at its El Renacer prison.

John DiCrosta wastes no time in this fast-paced, uproarious album. Multiple Character Disorder delivers as promised, as DiCrosta takes listeners on a wild ride jumping from spot-on impressions of Pee-Wee Herman and Steve Irwin to CVS store clerks and al-Qaeda members. DiCrosta's pace never slows down and nor do the laughs. Whether he's making fun of his former tour mates or inventing a fully imagined episode of Crocodile Hunter, DiCrosta's spastic and animated comedy will have listeners doubled over in laughter.
On stage, John DiCrosta is "electric". His sharp wit and knack for causing trouble has helped to spread his name across the U.S. and Canada. As one reviewer put it, DiCrosta unpacks his voice box on an unsuspecting crowd, parading character after character like some sort of human clown car.

i have ensured the times are set the same
tried to use the original password before i changed it...took about 3 seconds a character...too long for me but i tried anyway.
tried the trouble shooter on both systems.
left homegroup on desktop, restarted both machines and created one on the laptop, no luck there either, ran the troubleshooter on it too.
disabled windows firewall on both.
i can see either under networking, but i just cant join one to the other.
the desktop had W7 installed fresh about a week and a half ago, the laptop is new with W7 home preinstalled.
it doesnt tell me the password is wrong, just that it cant setup a homegroup on this computer.
tried to map a network drive from one to the other, but when i went to open it, it asks for a password....i havent set any passwords other than for the homegroup...which it wont take....
im fresh out of ideas...

Had same problem. In my case I went to Network and Sharing Centre under Control Panel then clicked on Advanced Sharing Settings. Under the 'File Sharing Connections' radio buttons I selected the second option "Enable File Sharing Devices that use 40 - or 56 bit encryption" and hey presto the computer which was failing to accept the password accepted and all was working. I suspect it's because my laptop is a 32 bit machine whereas my PC is a 64 bit.
Hope this helps you as I couldn't find a solution before trying this !

Re: [Mendobirds] Horned Puffin at MacKerricher
Expand Messages
- Mon, 03 Jul 2006 -- This afternoon Matthew Matthiessen and I refound the
HORNED PUFFIN at MacKerricher State Park and had it under observation from
about 4:45-6:30. We parked at Lake Cleone parking lot, walked north on the
Haul Road about 200 yards, and found the puffin in the water just north of
the rocks with the Harbor Seals hauled out. When we first saw it, it was
just inside the outermost breakers. Later it swam closer to shore and
began diving. We lost it for a half hour, but found it again right in the
same area where we had been looking. This time it was less than 100 feet
from shore. Karen Havlena arrived as it was swimming toward the outer
breakers again, and she was still on the bird when we left. The puffin
appeared to be an adult in non-breeding plumage. The bill was fairly large
and dark-colored with a little reddish hue.
