The Image Round Up column aims to get some words down on Image Comics book published for the week. This weeks reviews are handled by Ricardo Guajardo and Hansel Moreno. They'll be dropping non-spoilery reviews the day before the books are available so you can best make up your mind on what to buy tomorrow. We offer this service because Image has been putting out some amazing content lately and it will be nice to shine a light on every single title they produce. This week our intrepid team looks at Invincible #104 and Revival #12. We also take a look at the collected editions of Glory Volume Two: War Torn and Think Tank Volume Two: Genetics.
This week the team decided Invincible #104 is COVER OF THE WEEK! Read Ricardo's preview for more info!
The reviews are graded according to the following scale:
Must Read. -- Do not miss this hot piece of comic action!
Buy It. -- For memories sake.
Check It. -- This is a toss up. Up to you really.
Byrne It. (skim it on the rack). -- Look at it but don't leave with it.
Avoid It. -- Steer clear.
Invincible #104Written by Robert Kirkman
Art by Ryan Ottley
Inking by Cliff Rathburn
Colors by John Rauch
Letters by Rus Wooton
Ricardo Guajardo: After an intriguing cliffhanger in Invincible, the cast had their own dilemma to worry about Atom Eve facing a home invasion of a familiar character to longtime fans of the series. Mark a.k.a. Invincible has a problem of his own being stuck in another dimension where he is facing a issue of a different kind. This is where things come to a head causes something that can have consequences for both characters down the line.
What impresses me about Robert Kirkman's style of scripting is he manages to take a plot and makes things more complicated despite the resolution. I certainly was on edge wondering what was going to happen next and Kirkman has to be commended. On the artist front, Ryan Ottley brings crisp & detailed designs that grab the reader to take notice and enhanced further by the colors by John Rauch. No ways around it, this is the complete package that deserves to be noticed more often in the comic industry by everyone.
While this issue isn't new reader friendly, where person who is barely getting into the series will definitely be lost. Though, I believe that if the comic delivers in all fronts, then the comic should grab both faithful and new readers despite that notion. One positive that severely is underrated in comics, is that book tells the reader where to go to look on a certain reference made by the characters. Too many positives outweigh the negatives and Invincible continues to have me looking forward to what comes next.
Verdict: Must Read
Revival #12
Written by Tim Seeley
Art by Mike Norton and Art Baltazar
Colors by Mark Englert
Letters by Crank!
Cover by Skottie Young
Hansel Moreno: Revival has been picking up steam of late. The board has been set and most of the major characters are in play trying to either profit off the event or hold their community together.
Mike Norton and Tim Seeley have created a creepy scenario that deals with the dead rising with out them trying to tear us to pieces. This small community has been blessed/cursed with their deceased rising from the grave in various states of mind. There are so many different angles being played out by a diverse cast that, at issue twelve, this story is overwhelming to explain in a short preview.
LUCKILY Art Baltazar comes to my rescue. In this issue the incredibly happy and effervescent art of Art tells the story through Dana Press young son Cooper. Cooper makes a small comic (Art's work) that summarizes the main plot and takes us through a close recap of the last four issues. I love Mike's creepy and freaky art but this recap works great to get some new readers on board and honestly it is a bit of a palate cleanser.
It's fun to see Mike and Tim's characters through new styles. Skottie Young on the cover and Art on the interiors bring a fresh feel to the book and I hope to see every and all books with a bit of Art's style here and there.

Glory Volume Two War TornStory By: Joe Keatinge
Art By: Ross Campbell
Art By: Ulises Farinas
Art By: Owen Gieni
Art By: Emi Lenox
Art By: Jed Dougherty
Art By: Sloane Leong
Art By: Roman Muradov
Hansel Moreno: While Glory feels like it ended long ago, Joe Keatinge and Ross Campbell went out with a bang. Not only did they take my heart and run it through a blender, they brought lots of friends to make the experience that more heartbreakingly wonderful.
Glory and her friends are set against impossible odds and things do not get much better from there. United with all her friends, former allies and the odd lover or two the entire casts pools their collective strength and luck and lays it all on the line in a massive all out battle against the gods.
Joe and Ross spin the most loving yarn out of the EXTREME Relaunch and wouldn't you know it good things just don't last. If you read the the singles you've seen the amazing caliber of work Ross but into the characters and the devastating scenes of destruction. If you have been trade waiting now is your chance to finish this journey.
Joe. Ross. Thank you so much for this wonderful story.
Verdict: Must Read
Think Tank Volume Two GeneticsStory By: Matt Hawkins
Art By: Rahsan Ekedal
Hansel Moreno: In Think Tank Rahsan Ekedal and Matt Hawkins have blurred the line between reality and fiction.
Doctor David Loren is brilliant beyond measure. The government has kept a close eye on David since his escape/authorized vacation in Think Tank Volume One but David is letting his next escape plan brew while he finished a new project for the military.
The best part of this trade, besides a puppy that learns to love and high five, is the development of smaller characters from Volume One. Rahsan's art and Matt's tale intertwine together to form a fully fleshed out person which invites the audience to feel and care for their part in the story. This trade had a few twists that I didn't expect and it always leave one nagging question on my mind. How is Matt Hawkins not imprisoned? His back up material for every issue is always information on very real technology that is used in testing, research and very real combat. My imagination is always set into panic mode on the terrifying new ways in which I might die. Thanks Matt!
Amazing work by both these gents. Special shout out to Brian Reber for his color work on the cover!
Verdict: Must Read

Prime quality, kiln dried oak is very clean and is the pick of the best, knot-free timber. On occasions where there are knots they will only be tiny.
Light character, kiln dried will have some knots but no large dead knots.
** Please note, our decking is machined to order, rather than kept on the shelf. Because of machining setup costs, we have a minimum order amount of 50 linear metres of decking. This is 6.3 m2 on a 120mm wide profile, or 7.5 m2 on a 145mm wide profile. **
As well as creating an outdoor space to relax in, decking not only updates the look of a property but can also increase its market value. Decked areas provide usable, solid outdoor space.
Oak is a strong timber and can withstand a lot of wear making it ideal for high-traffic decking.
iWood's Prime and Light Character grades of Oak decking are dried to drive out moisture. This greatly decreases movement, warping and swelling once the boards are installed.
Our Fresh Sawn grade has a higher moisture content which will generally decrease over time before settling. It's important with Fresh Sawn boards that you plan for some shrinkage of the boards as the timber dries, making the gap between your decking boards marginally larger.
This decking is provided in random lengths between 2 and 4 metres. In line with iWood's environmental policy, iWood's oak decking is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
These decking boards are provided untreated. While Oak is a durable timber and can be left untreated for 15-25 years, iWood recommends applying an off-the-shelf treatment to at least maintain the appearance the decking boards.
If left untreated, the boards will naturally turn to a classic silver colour. This will take a couple of years depending on the amount of direct sunlight they receive.
You may also consider a treatment with an anti-fungal component to help stop the growth of moulds which could potentially become slippery as well as damage the timber. There is no specific decking treatment that iWood recommends.
When wet, wooden surfaces can be slippery, which is why iWood provides its decking in 'Reeded' and 'Anti-slip' profiles that are designed to give extra grip underfoot. As mentioned above, applying an anti-fungal treatment can help prevent slippery moulds.
As food for thought you may want to consider the following points when planning on installing decking, especially if you have multiple potential locations:
iWood's product code for Prime Quality Oak Decking is IW-7-32-1.
Due to machining setup costs, we have a minimum decking order amount of .
You currently have , so require a further to reach the minimum.

Release Date: 2008 |
Didnt he play for Rob Zombie?
yeah he did...and hes insane. I've heard about half of the songs from "The Devil Knows My Name" and they're really good.
He's gotten better.
Album Rating: 2.5I didn't know he was ex-Rob Zombie.
I didn't know he was ex-Rob Zombie.
Album Rating: 2.5I recommend Songs For Sanity to start, and then any of the other ones are good.
Black Widow of La Porte and Dead Art in Plainsfield are fantastic songs (both on The Devil Knows My Name)
I've had this album for a while now...well I guess since its release so thanks for reviewing it. I think you're pretty spot on in the description. The guy can shred like crazy and is capable of writing some really great stuff, however sometimes I think he gets a little carried away with his sweeping and skipping that it can be lost on non-virtuoso listeners.
The guitar work he puts out on his albums are leaps and bounds beyond anything he did with Zombie or Manson.
Well I'm going to look into Songs For Sanity I think and then work my way up.
The guitar work he puts out on his albums are leaps and bounds beyond anything he did with Zombie or Manson.
tis album is amazing fuckyou
Who said it wasn't?
Album Rating: 2.5Did you neg me? :s
Thanks for all the compliments guys, and Phantom, you'll enjoy his work.
pretty good review kiddo, just keep doin' em.
Good review. Pretty much sums up my feelings about it. The Devil Knows My Name is his best work, but Songs For Sanity is outstanding as well. He just melds his styles better on TDKMN.
the stuff ive heard from this guy was either a little too random or too derivative

Cannes goes Gaga -- but not over the movie stars
IT isn't easy to outshine the brightest stars in Hollywood but if there is one woman under the heavens capable of doing exactly that it is Lady Gaga, and that is precisely what she did on a surprise visit to Cannes yesterday.
The film fans were already in a frenzy to catch a glimpse of the the biggest names in showbiz on the red carpet as the festival officially began.
Woody Allen's new film, a romantic comedy called 'Midnight in Paris', was to have been the main attraction.
It opened the festival and the veteran director was joined on the red carpet by some of its stars including Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen.
That was until Lady Gaga showed up unexpectedly drawing screams of delight from her fans ahead of a concert on the beach.
Gaga appeared wearing a black leather vest emblazoned with the words "Born This Way" while her team of dancers rehearsed for the show, due to go ahead on Cannes' waterfront after the festival's official launch.
In the Woody Allen film, Sheen is cast as a pompous intellectual.
The movie includes a scene where he patronises a museum tour guide played by France's first lady Carla Bruni.
She is not attending the festival -- a decision that has fuelled speculation she is pregnant.
Also on the red carpet were Salma Hayek and members of this year's jury, including Uma Thurman, Jude Law and jury president Robert De Niro.
Allen earlier told a packed press conference he came up with the title for the film, about a young couple in the French capital, long before he decided on its plot.
He said: "I thought of a wonderful title, 'Midnight in Paris', because it's suggestive of an enormous amount of romance but I didn't know what was going to happen at midnight in Paris. Months went by and I couldn't think of what happened at midnight in Paris."
De Niro said he was looking forward to playing his part in awarding the coveted Palme d'Or.
He said: "I'm not sure what I'm looking for. We'll sit there and see the movies and figure it out."
Asked how he would compare the films, which include entries from America, Finland and Japan, De Niro said the jury would look at "how important we feel they are in comparison to the other movies ... so it's up for grabs at the moment".
More big names are expected as the week goes on with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' stars Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz set to appear alongside actors including Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and Jodie Foster.
"Paris is one of my favourite places in the world," Allen said as he headed into his premiere.
Among others attending the festival's opening night were Antonio Banderas, in Cannes to show off footage for his upcoming 'Puss in Boots' animated adventure, and wife Melanie Griffith, along with 'Puss in Boots' co-star Salma Hayek.
The opening ceremony that preceded Allen's film included a performance by jazz pianist Jamie Cullum, who played a medley of songs about the Big Apple, including 'New York, New York' and Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind' as a tribute to De Niro.
The ceremony featured an honorary Palme d'Or, the festival's highest prize, for Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, whose films include 1988 Academy Award best-picture recipient 'The Last Emperor'. He'd never won the grand prize at Cannes.
"I waited a bit, but here it is. I've received my Palme d'Or," Bertolucci said.
De Niro heads the jury that will award prizes among the 20 films in the Cannes main competition.
Apart from Thurman and Law, the jury also includes Argentine actress Martina Gusman, French filmmaker Olivier Assayas and Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To.

Kazakhstan: An Important country of Central Asia
By Raja G Mujtaba
After a lapse of 16 years, a Pakistani Prime Minister paid an official visit to a brotherly Muslim country. For this Prime Minister Yusuf Gillani needs to be appreciated. Such visits should not be symbolic but pave ways for more meaningful and lasting relations. Such relations can only be developed when people to people contacts are enhanced through trade, commerce, education and tourism etc.
S M Hali, a PTV anchor person is doing a commendable job within very little resources to work on Pakistan's International Relations.
Defence and Diplomacy is a very important programme that is viewed not only within Pakistan by the Diplomatic Corps but also across the globe to keep a focus on Pakistan. If this programme is given its due place in the Media Policy of the government, it can achieve dividends that cannot be measured. It has the potency to offset many a international games and designs that are being planned and hatched against Pakistan.
Being a nuclear power, Pakistan is no ordinary country, many games are being played around Pakistan. Here its not just the US and the UK but India and Israel are also very active to reduce Pakistan in its different dimensions.
So much for the programme, now coming to the Pakistan-Kazakhstan relations that has its roots spread over many centuries needs special focus.
Predominantly a Muslim country, Kazakhstan with over 30 billion barrels proven reserves is an oil exporting country that for the moment are limited for not having a reliable and affordable access to International waters.
However, geographic limitations and decaying infrastructure present serious obstacles. Landlocked, with restricted access to the high seas, Kazakhstan relies on its neighbors to
export its products, especially oil and gas. Although its Caspian Sea ports and rail lines carrying oil have been upgraded but that is not to match the potential of Kazakhstan. Pakistan is the only country that can provide access to warm waters therefore developing of rail and road links must be taken up on priority. Civil aviation has been completely neglected in the past. Now for this reason, the Kazak government has requested during the visit for PIA links between Astana and Islamabad.
In the absence of rail links and unreliable road communications, air link is the only option that the two countries have that must be exploited to its maximum potential.
This vital link must be provided without any waste of time; not only this, Astana should also be linked with Sialkot and Karachi to expand and facilitate the trade between the two countries.
I would go a step further, keeping in view the dynamism of the businessmen of Sialkot in mind, Pakistan government must give all the incentives to them to develop trade and commerce with Central Asia and beyond. Keeping their past record in view one can be confident that they would deliver in the least possible time.
Telecommunications must also be brought to the leading edge levels, coaxial cables (fiber optics) and satellite communication must be established not only to cover Kazakhstan but entire Central Asia and beyond.
Rail communication is an important component of composite communication system. To link Central Asia with Pakistan and then onwards to Gawadar and Karachi, Afghanistan needs to be bridged. On 8th September, I met H. E. Mohammad Umer Daudzai Afghan Ambassador over dinner at the National Day of Uzbekistan. Talking to him, he was very enthusiastic to further enhance bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan but was very enthusiastic have such a road and rail links via Afghanistan.
The Ambassador mentioned that a motorway up to Jalalabad has been completed by Pakistan, portion between Jalalabad and Kabul is being done by Afghanistan that is expected to be completed within this year. Once done, it would be a major development that would link Pakistan with Central Asia.
Pakistan must work on yet another option to link Tajikistan through Wakhan valley. It's a narrow strip that could provide yet another route to Cnetral Asia.
Yet another option that we must work on is a direct road and rail link from Gawadar to Kandahar via Kohay Muraad and Nok Kundi.
Presently, we have an option to provide road and rail links via Kashgar, China but that would entail manifold cost through distance and time, however it must also be developed as a secondary option.
Visa regime needs immediate focus, in my opinion, the visas must be stamped at the port of entry without going through long hassles of the embassies etc. Visa fee could be charged at the port of entry.
Kazakhstan's military hardware is of Russian origin that could be easily supplemented by Pakistan for its indigenous productions are also based on the footprints of Russian technology through China and Ukraine etc. This would not only provide easily affordable equipment to Kazakhstan but would also give a strong fillup to Pakistan economy and enhancement and expansion of its military hardware production base.
Pakistan could also offer military training in its institutions at all levels starting from basic training at the Military Academies.
Besides this, Pakistan is also in a position to offer professional training in various disciplines of trade, commerce, banking, media and government civil services academies.
With its growing number of educational institutions and universities that are equipped to provide education in a diversified fields such as medicine, engineering, IT, IR, Mass communication etc.
Not only is this, due to its small population and virtually no defence production exposed to many threats from different quarters. besides many minerals like landlocked country has become the cause for the big game going on this region. First it was under the yolk of USSR and now it's being eyed by the West. The main attraction being its geographic location, vast size, the terrain of Kazakhstan ranges from flatlands, steppes, taigas, rock-canyons, hills, deltas, and snow-capped mountains to deserts. US is keen to have a strong foothold in the region to capture its resources and deny the same to China and Russia. For other countries, it would be used as a leverage to make them stand behind the US.
With 16.4 million people (2010 estimate), Kazakhstan is population deficient to defend her sovereignty and territorial integrity against powerful players like the US, NATO etc. This she can affectively makeup buy acquiring force multipliers and regional pacts etc. has the 62nd largest population in the world, though its population density is less than 6 people per square kilometer (15 per sq. mi.).
Pakistan's media policy is nonexistent therefore it lacks purpose and direction. Every channel is working with its own agenda and objectives. At least PTV should be made more meaningful that should move out of Islamabad and party patronages, air programmes in regional languages, develop joint productions with ECO member countries for the promotion of culture, tourism, trade, commerce and education etc.

Male Half-elf by sedone

Artwork Description
Portrait of a male half-elf.
July 16th, 2009
Amazing. The colors just blow me away. The look in his eyes is just............AWESOME!!!
December 21st, 2008
Wow! I swear it is like I can see two different faces in his features. On one side (truthfully it would have to be his right side (our left)) I see a look of sheer determination and willpower while the other side is... is, psychosis? Excellent and if I may compare much better than you half-elf female.
September 23rd, 2006
I am no artist, but wow. Its a shame I haven't seen this piece until four years after it was made, but wow. This is some serious piece of artistic talent.
Go Johnny Depp!
May 16th, 2004
I like the light effects in this, and I agree with all the previous posts...this doesn't look like a digital image. Maybe you designed it this way, or maybe it's just me, but it looks like his nose might have been broken before. Makes him look tougher.
April 6th, 2004
At first glance, he looked strikingly like Depp...
He has very intense eyes- you always do such a wonderful job with colour.
January 11th, 2003
*lol* yes he really reminds of Jonny Depp, but your work is awsome, I love your coloring and your portraits are very expressive
June 8th, 2002
My favorite of your portraits..I love the downward angle of his face and his curious expression. I'd peg him as an evil or loner character by the darkness of his expression and eyes though. His ears are a bit large for a half elf..but i'm no expert on the matter. He reminds me of Johnny Depp for some reason..I think it's his lips and brow^_^
June 5th, 2002
*drools wiping her chin* i must say, he is VERY handsome.. do you know where he lives so i may stalk him? Lol! .. Jp, you are VERY wonderful at colored works.. i wish i could be as good
May 15th, 2002
this is an amazing portrait. i have to agree with the others on your choice of colours. very dramatic and i love that sullen loom in his eyes. gorgeous!!
May 11th, 2002
I'm just repeating: Magnificent portrait! I especially like the variation of color you used to render his skin. Looks like you used Jonny Depp for reference
May 10th, 2002
Oh man, this is utterly amazing! I feel so honored to have my gallery near yours. Every time I come around my gallery I see yours right there. Man, someday I dream of such talent. I have to practice! ^-^
May 9th, 2002
Nice pic, Man. I enjoy the immense detail you put into this work... I'm sure many fantasy-lovers would enjoy this this pic, I sure do!.
May 7th, 2002
Very good, very natural looking portrait. Your paint strokes are right on.
May 7th, 2002
Awesome painterly brush strokes, and I love the aquiline features.
Very bright, crisp and clear details, the multi-colored flesh tones are beautiful. Superb fantasy character portrait!
May 6th, 2002
Awesome, my favourite. The colors are awing.
May 6th, 2002
A this is my favorite and all of them are most excellent. The flesh tones and drama of this blows me away though. You captured a look in his eyes also that grabs you. I will be looking for more of your work.
May 5th, 2002
Handsome half elf! Wonderful portrait!

text: Hi, Dont get me wrong Im not a new cruiser - I've done this in the past but some of the excursions that I want to do in the med say ' limited availablity' and I would be really quite upset if I messed up trying to book them! I know that time is 8:01am for me being in the UK - What I want to know (I Hope this makes sense) Is if I log on to my cruise reservation earlier, can I just use the refresh button when the clock changes to 8:01 or do I have to log on then. I have the excursions in my wish list, can someone walk me through the quickest way to get to them - so that I can book them asap? As I have back probelms I can only go on mild excursions - which really limits my choices - I really hope I manage to get the excursions as I dont have any other options really. Any help will be grately appreciated. Thanks PS Noone on my cruise is allowed to book them before me !!!

text: I have a Lazer CT which has begun disengaging the blade by itself while mowing. The mower has 150 hours -- from two years of residential use. It always reengages without a problem. Can the yellow switch go bad? While the switch is in the up or engaged position, it does not offer much physical resistance to being pushed into the disengaged position. I would appreciate any advice on identifying root cause and the fix. Russell D. Sellen

The scores got generally positive notices from officials of the state Department of Education and the unified Shelby County School System. Scores increased for the majority of school districts in Tennessee in nearly every subject. In its last year of independence, Memphis City Schools showed increased proficiency in math, science, and social studies. The legacy Shelby County School system did the same, and also improved in reading.
But "improved" or "increased" compared to what? The scoring system — the curve for those of you in the education game — changed a couple of years ago, making long-term comparisons impossible. There are new subgroups of schools, such as the Achievement School District and the Innovation Zone (I confess to not knowing there was such a thing). Apples to apples has become apples to oranges to bananas to mangoes to papayas. And scores for individual schools, including public charter schools, have not been released yet.
More on that in a minute, but first the official statements.
"Sustained improvements across the state show that our efforts to raise student outcomes are working," said Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman. "Our students, teachers, and administrators worked incredibly hard. The results prove that if we continue to maintain high expectations and quality support for our teachers, our students will continue to grow."
David Stephens, deputy superintendent for the Shelby County Schools, was more restrained. Legacy MCS and legacy SCS districts both earned an overall Level 5 rating for student growth - the highest level of growth possible. In grades 3-8 Reading/Language Arts, legacy MCS showed a slight decrease (-0.4), while legacy SCS showed a slight increase (+1.1). The details are here.
"We realize that we still have work to do, but are very pleased with these accomplishments, especially in the midst of a school year involving the merging of two systems. The results are proof that our teachers and leaders continued to effectively advance student achievement in the classrooms, while adjusting to changes at the district level and preparing for a unified district."
Statewide, 30 districts saw double-digit gains in Algebra I, some gaining more than 25 percentage points. More than 50 districts saw double-digit gains in Algebra II, some reporting growth over 40 percentage points.
Such gains are cause for inspection as well as celebration because they are probably due to a major change in the test-taking population or a small sample, which magnifies the change. If such a thing were replicable on a large scale, then the wizards who did it would be running every public and private education outfit in the country.
In Memphis, the seven Innovation Zone schools, which are hard cases like the ASD schools, showed an increase in proficiency from the previous year (Math +10, Reading +2.4, Science +13.4, Social Studies +11.9) that was at a higher rate than the state and the ASD.
Credit where credit is due, but the focus on small groups of schools at a time when the biggest school system merger in American history is nigh seems, well, curious.
Congratulations to all those who did better. But determining "better" these days is a little bit like making up a football schedule. If you can't find someone somewhere you can beat somehow then you're not trying very hard.
Tennessee has no state income tax and Memphis has no local payroll tax. To raise money, Memphis must increase the highest sales tax rate in the country or the highest property tax rate in the state. Both the Memphis City Council and Shelby County Commission raised property taxes this year.
The jock tax costs players a maximum of $7,500 a year. According to the fiscal note on the 2009 legislation, the total tax on NBA and NHL players this year is about $3.5 million, about half what Mike Miller will make next year when he returns to the Grizzlies.
Grizzlies fans pay a tax on seats, tickets, and concessions that helps pay the cost of the arena.
Tony Allen, who signed a new contract with the Grizzlies paying him $5 million a year, was in Nashville to oppose it. Allen, who has said he "bleeds blue," did not speak at the hearing Thursday. If he played in Georgia he would pay state income tax of 6 percent; in North Carolina, the state tab is 7.75 percent. In Tennessee, $7,500.
The Grizzlies ownership opposes killing the jock tax because the revenue is passed through to them. Jason Wexler represented the ownership group at the hearing. He told the Flyer the tax brings about $1.1 million a year to Memphis.
"We use it to recruit events to FedEx Forum," he said. "Memphis is a good market but not a must-play market. We get about ten concerts a year."
"It's working," he added. "It's an effective incentive tool."
Not because the adults are dumb but because school knowledge and test-taking skill are not the same as being a successful functioning member of society. Are you smarter than a fifth-grader? The answer is probably yes and no.
As you probably know by now if you are reading this, the TCAP scores for the six schools in the Achievement School District came out Wednesday. Five of the schools are in Memphis. Students improved in science and math, but the number of students deemed proficient in reading dropped by 4.5 percent to just 13.6 percent overall.
"It's the first year the kids have been held to a higher standard, and I think we need to continue to give the ASD our support," said school board member Dr. Jeff Warren.
Said board member Kenneth Whalum Jr., "The fact that some TCAP testing areas show improvement among ASD students proves that student achievement isn't rocket science. Focused attention, additional resources, smaller class sizes, and parental involvement usually enhance a poor student's ability to perform well in school. It also shows that "teaching to the test" works well. The fact that the Reading scores are down, as I understand it, proves that there is no guarantee that a child's comprehension skills are bettered by any measure aside from improving the home life of the child, as home is where
communication skills are honed."
I agree with both of these gentlemen.
The ability to read can't be faked, at least not on a standardized test. Most kids from reasonably well-to-do families learn to do it before they are in the third grade, with lots of help from family members. Kids who can't read a lick by then are screwed, and so is the teacher whose job rating depends on making them "proficient". My first job was teaching reading in Nashville, using flash cards, menus, road signs, and a baby book about "Cowboy Bob" to try to teach embarrassed teenagers how to read. Despite having the smallest classes in the school, I would not have made the ASD cut by a mile. Such is the road to journalism.
Basic literacy might not be enough to achieve "proficiency" because reading comprehension questions about random passages can be baffling and prompt a "don't have a clue" reaction. Reading for survival, entertainment, and spiritual sustenance has little relationship to the goofy questions that show up on tests and compare-and-contrast theme assignments.
Math is a code. If you have a fourth-grader or have ever been one, you know the tipping point is simple fractions, percentages, and relationships. Give Archimedes a lever and a place to stand he could move the world. Give a teacher a pizza, a pizza cutter, and a reasonable class size and he/she can move the scores. If you don't know what one-fourth means, much less that it is the same as 25 percent, you're screwed. Algebra? Bet there are plenty of college-educated business professionals who would flunk Algebra I today if they haven't been in a classroom in decades.
Science, I suspect, is a statistical outlier because it is rarely if ever taught at all in some failing schools, so any exposure at all, combined with practice testing, is likely to increase test scores.
So give the ASD some slack, and I hope the ASD gives its teachers some slack too, because longer hours and higher demands and drill and kill are going to turn classrooms into "sweat shops" as Kriner Cash said and drive them out of teaching, where most of them are badly needed.
Wharton called reporters to City Hall for a comparison-making session that he admitted was not unlike the athletic director who calls a press conference to announce support for the football coach — which is often the kiss of death. He said his first reaction was that the comparison "is so inept that I am not going to dignify it by responding," but respond he did.
"They need to hear that we do recognize our challenges and are going to meet them head on," he said. "They need to hear that from me."
He produced a chart showing that the Memphis city pension plan is nearly 75 percent funded, with more than $2 billion in the bank. Memphis, he said, has roughly half as many city employees for close to the same population, and a budget approximately one fifth as large. Memphis has a more diverse economy. The "key difference" he said is "there is no denial in this city" that there are financial challenges even during the heat of council debate over the budget. As for the state comptroller's letter, "we had started down that path even before that without any warning or threats that said we have to change some things in the pension situation."
Wharton opened the session with some comments about Trayvon Martin.
"I have six sons and four grandsons and have been in courtrooms a good part of my life, so for me it wasn't just can you comment on something on a tv screen," he said.
He said he is "glad folks are going to rally" for a "noble cause, that is to ask for some redress."
Barbic wrote a column for The Commercial Appeal Friday in which he let the cat out of the bag and confirmed what some teachers have been saying for a couple weeks — the state-run ASD schools (education jargon for failing schools) got mixed results.
"Not all is rosy. Our kids are far behind in reading and we need to catch them up. There are bright spots in reading — for example, students at Gordon Science and Arts Academy grew nearly three grade levels this year. But overall our students' reading scores dipped."
There was no accompanying news story on school-by-school TCAP scores, which Barbic wrote will be released the week of July 22nd. In an email to the Flyer earlier this week, Kelli Gauthier, director of communications for the Tennessee Department of Education, said the scores would be released next week. The statewide TCAP results have been released and can be found here.
The ASD has set a high bar for itself — to move the lowest-performing schools to the top 25 percent in five years. Teachers, especially those who lost their jobs because they were deemed mediocre or worse in raising student test scores, will be watching closely.
To its credit, the ASD has not cherry-picked students or schools — just the opposite. But raising test scores across the board in all subjects is, as Barbic wrote, "incredibly difficult work" because low-scoring students can pull down the average.
Veteran teachers are likely to say something like "welcome to my world."
The population of Memphis has increased since 2010. This doesn't necessarily mean there are more taxpayers, but population is the most basic measurement of a city's health. The increase rebuts to some extent the contention of some Memphis City Council members that Memphians are "voting with their taillights." A U.S. Census report that came out in May says Memphis is the 20th largest city in the country and its population has grown by more than 7500 people since 2010. The report says the population of Memphis grew from 647,612 in 2010 to 655,155 in July, 2012. The population of Shelby County increased from 928,792 to 940,764 during the same period.
More people (51 percent) are working in Memphis and living elsewhere than living in Memphis and working there (49 percent). This means Memphis does not get the benefit of their property taxes, the biggest contributor to the tax base.
DeSoto County has the opposite situation. Most people (68 percent) live in the county and work somewhere else (32 percent).
From a tax standpoint, the cost of living is lower in Shelby County than in DeSoto County. A family with $100,000 of household income pays $25,956 in taxes in Memphis and $31,534 in Southaven. Property taxes are higher in Memphis, but the Mississippi state income tax ($4,850) and vehicle registration fee ($2,908 on a $40,000 vehicle) offsets that.
Most people and businesses pay their taxes. The collection rate for the last six years ranges from 92 percent to 94 percent.
More property owners who appealed to the Board of Equalization got a reduction (24,001) than an increase (9,787) in the last 12 months. Owners can do this themselves or hire a professional tax representative. In many cases, a reduction will be offered by letter and the property owner does not have to personally appear.
Collections estimates are "conservative" so elected officials, like corporations and their earnings estimates, can beat them, Lenoir said. In other words, the county will take in a little more and refund a little less than it estimates.
The housing market is improving. There have been 5,767 sales in 2013 compared to 5,332 in 2012.
The suburbs, soon to have their own school systems, are where the money is in home ownership, and it's not even close. The median sales price in Shelby County is $89,900, in Germantown $275,253, in Collierville $269,200, in Arlington $210,000, in Bartlett $150,000, in Lakeland $220,000. Only Millington lags, at $68,000.
"Coming Soon! All New Buffet Experience" say the signs outside of the erstwhile Paula Deen's Buffet on the second floor of the casino.
Gone are the Paula Deen lifesize cutouts in the lobby, the Life-of-Paula photo collage next to the cash register, and most of the branded merchandise in the gift shop. Signs say all such merchandise is 50 percent off, but the markdowns were more than that last week on the cookware and relatively high-end stuff, according to employees.
I snagged a pink t-shirt, modeled here by Flyer colleague Bianca Phillips, for $9.99 and a pair of refrigerator magnets for a dime each (formerly $5) featuring Paula's sons Bobby and Jamie who, unlike most of Paula's corporate partners, defended her during the storm.
"Neither one of our parents ever taught us to be bigoted toward any other person for any reason," Bobby Deen told CNN's "New Day" in an exclusive interview with Chris Cuomo.
"Our mother is one of the most compassionate, good-hearted, empathetic people that you'd ever meet," he added. "These accusations are very hurtful to her, and it's very sad."
Harrah's Tunica spokesman Patrick Collins said "We have no news to report on the buffet at this time."
The 560-seat no-name buffet is still open and serving Deen's southern-style cooking and signs on the road to the casino still tout the Paula Deen Buffet as an attraction. At lunch hour Monday, the buffet was nearly deserted and some of the shelves in the gift shop had been stripped bare.
Caesar's Entertainment, the casino's parent company, announced on June 26th, the day Deen appeared on the "Today" show and five days after the story broke, that it was ending the relationship by "mutual agreement." But no details were disclosed, and employees said they did not know what would replace the Paula Deen Buffet, a fixture in the casino since 2008.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Deen has hired a new legal team to defend her in the racial and sexual harassment lawsuit. She has also parted ways with her agent who was head of media strategy for Paula Deen Enterprises.
If the answer is "not much" or "finding myself" or "I'd rather forget" you have lots of company. An outfit called Roadtrip Nation is in its 12th year of crossing America in a green and blue RV to document the stories of stumbles, false starts, failures of nerve, and other misfortunes on the road to success or, at least, something close to it.
The Roadtrip Nation RV was in Memphis Friday after overnighting on a side street at the south end of downtown. Its five occupants include a producer for public television, a camera guy, and three 18-to-22-year-old "roadtrippers" who do the interviews. Memphis was only a stop along the way on this summer's trip, but the door of the RV was open and Dan Ford, the producer, was inside poring over a map of the United States while his team went out for coffee.
The group set out from San Francisco three weeks ago and has stopped in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Taos, Dallas, and New Orleans enroute to St. Louis and points north and east for the next four weeks. They preschedule some interviews in each and wing it on others. The University of Phoenix, a for-profit network of online courses and operations in several cities including Memphis, is a key sponsor.
The idea is that by showing how other people came to grips with their failures and uncertainty, people watching Roadtrip Nation on PBS or using its curriculum in high school or college will take heart and find their own selves and their own definition of success.
"You see where people are at now but you don't see the hard and winding path to get there," said Ford, 29, in his seventh year with the project. "You have to fail to keep moving forward."
The inside of the RV was comfortable but not plush. Olivia ZanFardino, the only woman in the group, does most of the driving. So far she's accident free.
In New Orleans, the team interviewed a chef and an urban designer. Several of the interviewees over the years did not go to college, dropped out or changed careers in mid-life. "Renegade engineers" are especially commonplace, the crew said.
There are others who found their calling early, like the guy they met in Louisiana who wrestles alligators.
"He jumped right in the water to give us a demonstration," said ZanFardino. "The alligator looked like it was scared of him, like it knew this guy is not to be messed with. He told us he had been doing it since he was ten years old."
Memphis station WKNO does not broadcast the program but it can be viewed online.
Resolutions are easy in January. Most of the football bowl games I wanted to watch were on broadcast stations ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX. There were Christmas gift DVDs to enjoy instead. Then it got harder. ESPN has fought back against people like me by capturing exclusive rights to more and more events. Here is my report.
Total Savings: The difference between my old 280-channel package and my new 15-channel package is $40 a month, or $240 for six months. The savings should be more than that, but AT&T charges cheapskates and Luddites $15 a month for equipment that is "free" with other packages. Offsetting expenses: Netflix subscription for $7.99 a month, $4 beers at sports bars.
Most Grief Taken: My wife loves the AMC zombie show "The Walking Dead." She reminds me about once a week. Offsetting factor: The Brad Pitt movie helped, but the zombie appetite is not easily sated. If I break it will be due to zombies.
Second biggest loss: Who knew the Grizzlies would go so far in the Playoffs, and that several of the games would only be on ESPN? Or that Michigan would beat Kansas in a thrilling game on TBS? Offsetting factor: Mooching off neighbors.
Third biggest loss: Watching people cook on "Chopped." Offsetting factor: Actually cooking.
Other regrets: French Open and Wimbledon early rounds. Offsetting factor: ABC highlights and replays, if you don't mind knowing Federer and Nadal lost.
Worthwhile discoveries on basic cable stations: None. The major networks are a wasteland and appear to have given up on everything except reality shows and copycat crime shows. Offsetting factor: Black Hawks and Bruins in NHL Playoffs and WKNO documentary on Henry Ford.
Best rented movies I would not have seen otherwise: "Sherlock Holmes" and "In Bruges".
Worst rented movie I would not have seen otherwise: "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close".
Long books I probably wouldn't have read otherwise: "Blue Latitudes" by Tony Horwitz and "11/22/63" by Stephen King.
Smug moment: Pointing out newspaper stories about Evil ESPN and viewers cutting cable and asking people "Does Paula Deen have a show?"
Sick moment: ESPN ends sharing agreements with broadcast stations for major events. AT&T comes up with more fees.
Guilty pleasure: Surfing 200 stations while on vacation and watching Paula Deen and Matt Lauer on "Today" on NBC.

Summer vacations in Ontario have been a recreation necessity for almost 400 years. Samuel de Champlain decided to stay in Georgian Bay during the summer of 1615, as he liked the Sweet Water Sea, later named Georgian Bay. This was his time to rest, and relax after his travels from the French River area. As Ontario developed and settlers moved both west from the Ottawa Valley area, and North from Toronto, many permanent summer cottages were built. Eventually resorts and other accommodation followed. The summer vacation traditions continue today with many "summer only" tourist type accommodation in the form of bungalows, cabins, full service family resorts, fishing resorts, cottage-resorts, and hostels.

Plans To Boost York's Early Evening Economy Could Include Some Free Parking
7:31am 10th December 2013
York could get free car parking after 5.00pm on late night shopping evenings.
That's one of the options being considered by the council for it's car parks, to boost York's early evening economy.
The council is looking at ways to increase trade in the city between 5.00pm and 8.00pm - the time before people come into the city for a night out.
Another area that could be looked at, is improving late night public transport in the city. The council will now review the issue and consider the findings from it's online survey "Yorkafter5".
We spoke to Frank Wood from the York Retail Forum, who gave us his views.

Budget 2013 – Five short relevant (hopefully) points
1. Personal Allowance to rise to £10,000 from 6 April 2014
This will help those on low income and clients / contacts who live overseas but remain taxable on UK rental income. Of course this will not benefit those earning above £118,880 for 2013/14 who since 6 April 2010 no longer qualify for the personal allowance and whose tax liability actually goes up due to the consequent reduction in the basic rate band.
2. Changes to tax relief for Childcare
Income tax relief via a new childcare account will be introduced from Autumn 2015 for up to 20% of childcare costs or £6000 per child @ 20% = £1,200. The self employed and non taxpayers will now get some help. However this may mean some losers who are presently claiming per parent at the top rate and use cost-effective childcare voucher providers like that offered by our sister business – DIY Childcare Vouchers – http://www.diychildcarevouchers.co.uk/
3. Increase in Inheritance Tax (IHT) limits for "Non Dom" husbands and wives
Currently if one spouse is not from the UK and is thus non-domiciled only the first £55,000 of capital passing from one spouse to another is exempt from IHT. As previously announced this will increase to the same as the IHT nil rate band – currently £325,000. Non-domiciled spouses will also be able to make an election to be treated as UK domiciled for IHT purposes from April 2013.
4. Capital Gains Tax benefits of the Seed Enterprise Investment scheme to be extended to 5 April 2014
For gains reinvested in the two tax years to 5 April 2014 relief will be available for half the reinvested gain instead of all of the gain as presently.
5. New Employment allowance of £2,000 off payroll costs
Small businesses and charities will be entitled from April 2014 to a reduction of £2000 per year from their Employers Class One National Insurance bill – currently 13.8% of gross pay.
Of course there were many other matters covered in the budget. There are some good summaries from the BBC budget site or on the HMRC site here. Please seek advice before taking action as a result of this note.
Would you like to help your artiste reduce their tax bill whilst on tour or competing in the UK?
I have recently started doing more work again on reduced rate applications submitted to the Foreign Entertainers Unit at HMRC. Along with many other countries, in the UK income arising to non UK entertainers and sportspeople is subject to Withholding Income Tax at 20% (22% before 5 April 2008). This is charged even if the artiste provides their services through a corporation.
Under the terms of most UK double tax treaties there is a clause excluding the services of entertainers and sportspeople from the "independent services" provision. This means they are taxable here even if they are not tax resident in the UK and do not have a permanent establishment or place of business here.
However many people are still not aware that it is possible to approach the Revenue authorities beforehand to agree that the withholding is based on the projected profit rather than the gross income. This will usually mean that the artiste has no further income tax to pay and probably will not be asked to complete a UK tax return.
The artiste will usually obtain tax credit for the FEU UK deducted through his or her overseas tax return. However under many countries' domestic tax legislation the tax payer is required to mitigate his or her liability as far as possible otherwise they will only get credit for the tax that was due in the UK not just the possibly higher amount they actually did pay on gross turnover. It is not enough therefore just to pay the tax and expect to get credit for it back in the home country. Relief may be restricted.
I have over ten years experience in this area with major and upcoming artistes and would pleased to help any clients legitimately reduce their UK tax liabilities.

MySQL Reservation Problem
I have a products table that has a bunch of products, and I need a query that will query another table and find out if there are any reservations for the project during a set period.
For instance, I have three things:
1. Car
2. Boat
3. Toy
The boat is reserved on 2-12-07 to 2-16-07 and the others are not reserved. I need a way to do it in one query if I give to days to query another table to just see if there is a reservation for that time period.
If I type in 2-10-07 to 2-15-07 I should find the Car and Toy unreserved, but the Boat reserved. I know I can do a loop, but when I have 131 products, its alot of queries to access the database.

Variations in Health Care Systems
June 17, 2002
Supporters of a tax-financed, single-payer health system claim that it would remedy inequities in health outcomes by providing equal access to health care for low-income families, but a new survey by Harvard University's School of Public Health and the Commonwealth Fund found lower-income people have much worse health regardless of financing methods.
The countries run the gamut from the U.K. (physicians are government employees and hospitals are government owned) to the U.S. (voluntary private insurance for most with government programs for the poor and elderly.) Canada, New Zealand and Australia have private-government hybrids, though with a strong government presence.
None of the systems is ideal.
- Only 3 percent of Britons saying they have had "problems paying medical bills," compared to 7 percent in Canada, 11 percent in Australia, 12 percent in New Zealand and 21 percent in the United States.
- Forty-three percent of Britons report no out-of-pocket costs in the previous year, and only 2 percent report having paid more than $1,000; the figures for the United States are 7 percent and 26 percent respectively.
- Thirty-nine percent of lower-income Americans did not fill a prescription due to the out-of-pocket cost in the past year, compared to 21 percent in Australia, 22 percent in Canada, 20 percent in New Zealand and 7 percent in the U.K.
- However, the study finds that only 5 percent of Americans wait four or more months for surgery. The others range from Australia (23 percent) to the U.K. (38 percent).
The United Kingdom has the least out-of-pocket costs, but it has the longest waiting times. The United States is just the opposite. The rest fall somewhere in between on both measures.

"Help him, My children"
Our Lady of the Roses warns: Russia has not been consecrated properly; Pope John Paul II must consecrate Russia, not the world...
"Help him, My children, by writing, by trying to send through the blockade that they have set up in front of him in Rome: send a message of grace from Heaven to Holy Father Pope John Paul II. He must consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart or else Russia shall go throughout the whole world, destroying nation upon nation, even the United States and Canada." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1987
Our Lady of the Roses message has revealed that Russia must be consecrated by the Pope and all the Catholic bishops, or there will be no world peace and Russia will bring about a Third World War, fulfilling Our Lady of Fatima's prophecy that if Her requests were not heeded, "various nations will be annihilated."
"My child and My children,
keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your nation and the nations
of the world. You do not know how close you are to being one of the nations to
be annihilated. I speak this of the United States of America, because they are
being deluded by Russia. Russia has in armaments six times the number of
missiles that we store. While they say they deploy them, and take them out of
existence that is not true. They are increasing and increasing; for they have
only one thought in mind--that is to take over the whole world.
"My child and My children, do not be affrighted by this, for there is still time to stop them. But you must do that now! You must get first in touch with the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. Now this will be most difficult, because he has many agents who work with him that are not in the light. They are in his Secretarial Department--the Secretariat. They do not tell him of his messages. It is difficult--unless you can place it straight into the hands of the Holy Father--it is difficult for him to receive a message. But he must, I repeat again, receive this message.
"He must take one day of this year--this year, not next year, this year--one day, and with all the bishops of the world, he must consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart.
"It can be done, My children, with your prayers and your efforts. Your Pope, he is a good man, but he is weak also, having human frailties; and he has great undue pressures upon him. Help him, My children, by writing, by trying to send through the blockade that they have set up in front of him in Rome: send a message of grace from Heaven to Holy Father Pope John Paul II. He must consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart or else Russia shall go throughout the whole world, destroying nation upon nation, even the United States and Canada." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1987
"Russia has but one plan: to capture the whole world. They will do this without heart or conscience. Therefore, know that I ask you again, as your God in the Trinity, I ask you to contact the Holy Father—through pen or prose, or the written script—to contact the Holy Father and beg him to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. This has not been done, My children." - Jesus, May 17, 1986
"When I came to Fatima many years ago, I knew that communism would go throughout the world destroying many nations and attacking My Son's Church. Therefore, I made a promise that if the Pope, the Pope of those days and the Pope today, would unite with all the bishops of the world, all together on one day - not the world - but the bishops and the Pope will unite and pray for the consecration of Russia. I do not mean the world, My children; I mean Russia-- Russia, the scourge of mankind. You will pray for Russia. One day must be allotted in which Pope John Paul II and, also, all the bishops of the world must unite on one day, I repeat, and pray for Russia; or Russia will continue to be the scourge from God. Russia will continue to go throughout the world annihilating people and places and countries." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1987
