Unpious - אהן פיאות
Nostalgia no more. The giants got together and created a new community so much missing. An online community where the ideas flow, topical issues discussed, and our flag raised proudly. Creatively named Unpious - אהן פיאות this new website, created by us, about us, for us is now up and running at http://www.unpious.com/.
Many names of fame - names we have missed for too long - have gotten together to create this project. Not everyone can be revealed yet, but I can promise you surprise posts by people long deemed dead. A resurrection and revolution all at once.
Contributions are also encouraged. Email them to firstname.lastname@example.com
And now a round of applause to HR who really gave this project a lot of effort and detailed attention. Perhaps even sleepless nights. Please reward this fine young man I proudly call my friend by checking out his blog and clicking on the advertisements. Reading his posts are optional but highly recommended. If you're new to HR's blog (shame on you) check out the best post ever written (in my opinion at least), "No Return". Of course, while you're reading that post click on some of the ads to the side and bottom of the post. Thanks.

I know you're not really around anymore (on the blog-o-verse at least) but I wanted to say hi! Back in August of 2006 we traded emails back and forth. I was leaving, not sure where I belonged -- remember, you even picked me up at the airport once and gave me a ride to where I needed to go? I teased you for wearing your peyos in a ponytail and said you looked like a harley motorcycler. Anyway, you wished me contentment even though you said you couldn't figure out where I belonged. Well. I figured it out! I'm not in the community anymore, and it's fine. It's not fine actually, it's great! I'm married, he is wonderful. Yeah some things are still hard, it was hard to see my friend D. -- who is totally shtark and sort of looks at me with disgust now but ... life goes on. I'm happy and I thought of you. I hope you're happy too!ReplyDelete

Very interesting image rendered on the weather mape, no? It looks like a question mark. As if the One above Hashem Yisboruch is asking us loudly - SO what are "you" going to do now? It's obvious to anyone on the spiritual wavelength that the Holy One, blessed be He, Hashem our creator is going all out to get people's attention with this storm.
But, while they recognize the uniqueness of this situation, they still refuse to see in it Yad Hashem - the hand of Hashem. This should be a reminder of the Dor Hamabul. We live in a corrupt society and Hashem is telling us to do Teshuva. If not I can destroy parts of the world again. Some conspiracy web sites are even claiming "Superstorm Sandy" is man-made, a manifestation of weather wars that was created as a weapon to upset the elections or as an excuse to begin filling up FEMA camps Chas VeSholom.
Among all the preparation lists being handed around, I have yet to see one that included an admonition to pray to Hashem to say Tehilim to improve our Tznius give Tzedokah and no Loshon Hora. It's up to us - the Jews - the servants of God - to proclaim His Mastery over all that He has created and continues to create at every moment. Please don't make lite of this post, we have to wake up Moshiach is at our doorstep waiting for us to do Teshuva so he can do his job.
It's not to late yet. Do yourself a favor & hit the road out of the USA & into Israel before you head into the future COMMUNISM of America that's where we are heading to. It's not a joke. Please Google "the new world order" then google "FEMA camps" get educated you'll be shocked and hopefully understand what's happening "to us" here in the (US) Golden Medinah. Time IS running out for us.
No Rav/Rebbeh will tell you to run from US, use your brains, same thing happened in Nazi Germany, the Rabonim where thinking about their future, the Rabonim with nice incomes were afraid to loose it. Time to think how to save yourself and your family, no matter what, it will always be better and safer in Eretz Yisroel, even though it won't be easy street any place in the world, but here in the USA we clearly see the handwriting openly, understand that there is very little time left for us to save our future.
The way things have been going, one day we'll wake up and be stuck here C"V the doors are going to be locked, SHUT DOWN FOR EVER don't wait for the last moment look and see what happened in Sedom. I beg you to get hold of you friends parents in-laws wife and kids etc. and explain that the US is coming to an END
Open your eyes & watch on a weekly basis as you get watched more & more & all rights & freedoms are removed from all of US in the USA. i.e. see what's doing with Rabashkin, the US is about to become a full dictatorship like what communist Russia was combined with the "kindness" of Nazi Germany C"V, what's with the FEMA camps that the US government built throughout America? With the gas chambers and trains etc. NOW we have to do Teshuva must beg Hashem for the Geulah, very hard time are approaching our way C"Vץ lets have lots of Achudas do Teshuva to be Zocha for the Geulah


text: Bill Clinton: Same Snake Oil, Older Salesman Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 6 Sep 2012 post a comment Bill Clinton is aging. This was obvious to anyone who paid attention to the president's mannerisms, his speech, and his posture on Wednesday night. Yet he's still the same Bill Clinton at heart, and that was evident by the fact that he stood in front of convention goers and told a number of untruths with a straight face, and with a nearly straight index finger stuck defiantly into the air. For example, Clinton claimed Obama deserves four more years because Obama's approach to economics "reduces the deficit." Meanwhile, in the real world, the deficit accumulated by every president between George Washington and George W. Bush combined was $4.176 trillion. Yet in just under four years, Obama has pushed that to over $16 trillion. At another point in his speech, Clinton seemed so carried away with the idea of speaking to a rapt audience again that he just let 'er rip and said Obama's economic policies "pass the arithmetic test." To hear these and many other statements so antithetical to reality spoken so confidently was surreal to say the least. And I don't think I'm the only one who saw it thus. Fox News' Brit Hume, for his part, commenting after the speech, kindly pointed out that the index finger Clinton had lifted into the air repeatedly during this convention speech was the same index finger he'd wagged in our faces when he said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." The bottom line: Clinton's speech was nothing more than the same snake oil, brought to us by an older salesman.

Weird Scenes Inside The Basement
March 1st, 2011
If you are ever fortunate enough to find yourself in a dark room with Veronika Kougar, you will need to have stocked up on the zinc and lecithin pills beforehand. A boner pill will help also because you will be pushed to the limits of your cock's endurance by this female sex machine. "I like sex four to eight times a week, minimum," says Veronika, 40GG bra-stuffer. "I like to have my pussy stretched by a man with a huge cock and he should be good at sucking nipples. I don't mean he should be a brute. I like kind, polite men that are strong and powerful. I like it rough but not too rough, no bruising, please. They don't need giant muscles as long as they have a big muscle in their pants. I'm not very curious about fetish things although this was a little strange with us playing with ropes. His dick filled me up just fine so I forgave him for the kinky mohawk." Veronika didn't need to learn the ropes. She knows all there is to know about taking care of a man's pussy-drill. She gives till it squirts.

The Promotions Team
Jessica Turner, Marketing Director
Jessica had no idea how much assuming the moniker "The Spinecracker" would completely change her life. In 2010 while working as the marketing assistant and social media director for a real estate firm in San Diego, she began reviewing books on her personal book blog. Always the chatterbox, she quickly befriended authors, publishers, and fellow reviewers. She had the opportunity to become a freelance writer for HeroesandHeartbreakers.com and later the Huffington Post. But her dream was to always find a way in to the magical word of publishing. Jessica was hired by Entangled Publishing in July 2012 as a publicist. She has since moved into a Publicity Director role and has resigned from her other job, as she's found her dream job once and for all. She can be found on twitter @TheSpinecracker
Morgan Maulden, Branding Specialist
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Morgan earned her bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from Louisiana State University.

Katie Clapsadl, Publicity Director
Katie can't remember a time when reading wasn't a central part of her life and she can usually be found with her nose stuck in a book. Holding a degree in Business, she's worked several sales and marketing jobs, but none of them felt quite right. So she decided to take some time off to raise a family and in the interim started the book blog, A Book Obsession as an outlet for her passion for reading. Looking back she never could have imagined the success and all of the media contacts she would gain in such a short time. In addition to running the book blog she also reviews for RT Magazine. But there still was the problem of finding a career that would be as satisfying as her passion for books. The answer came in July of 2012 when she started working for Entangled as a publicist. She knew she had found her dream job, and as they say, the rest is history. Katie lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. Find her on twitter @Kt_Clapsadl

Russian Banya
Being true to our Russian heritage, we made sure to create an authentic
. Built from cedar, this Banya offers four levels of heat, depending on where you sit. The benches are wide enough to comfortably lie down, which is ideal for a good steam.
A beautiful brick stove produces heat and humidity. The classic temperature for a Banya is 60°C with 60% humidity. You can adjust the temperature by throwing water into the stove. The water quickly evaporates as it hits the hot stones inside. These stones are traditionally granite or basalt, gathered from lakeshores; they are known as "wild." The fire is fed with hard wood. We use apple, birch, oak and cherry as they produce the nicest aroma and quality of heat!
The Banya is an integral part of
Russian culture
. Its presence has been documented as far back as 945 AD. The Banya would be used in marital ceremonies and health rituals, but now it mostly serves as a popular place for socialization, drinking, feasting and relaxation.
Fun Stuff
During our trip to Rome, we acquired an original brick from
The Baths of Trajan
. This was a massive bathing and leisure complex built in 104AD by Emperor Trajan. These thermae (from Greek thermos, meaning "hot") were used as a recreational and social center by both male and female Roman citizens. We are proud to have a little piece of Roman Baths history in our own sauna!
Turkish Hamam
Adorned with mosaic tiles, our
is a pleasure to steam in. A serene, backlit pool of water provides a source of light and refreshment for when the thick steam envelops your body. The ceiling is arched and the seats remain cool for your comfort.
This style of steam room was adopted by the Ottoman Turks after their conquest of Byzantium. The Hamam is basically an improved version of the Roman baths!
Fun Stuff
The vase and decorative tiles displayed in our steam room were found during our trip to Istanbul, a center for Hamams and historical jewel for the steaming culture. So enjoy your steam with a little culture at your fingertips!
Finnish Sauna
Finnish Sauna
is built of pine with cedar benches and uses an electric system of heating. It is a dry, high heat sauna and water is not used inside. Whether you like a wet steam or a dry steam is based on preference, so be sure to try this alternate style!
The Finnish Sauna shares a close history with the Russian Banya. Many make a distinction between the two due to the Sauna being dry and the Banya being wet. This is not necessarily law as both have varied their styles throughout history, but is commonly the case.
Tea Room
Our tea room is a place to rehydrate, try authentic Russian foods or simply relax. It has beautiful high ceilings and is decorated in the Tudor style. The atmosphere is homey and the walls are adorned with antique samovars and teapots that make one feel as though they are in Russia herself.
relax, eat or have a quiet drink. Check out our menu as we prepare all meals fresh in our on-site kitchen. Television is available in both Russian and English, and cartoons or movies can be put on for the kids.
Cold Water Barrel
Brave the chill and take a plunge in our cold water barrel!

Sperm? Relatively speaking, not so pricey if you're in the market to buy some to help conceive a baby (and, um, I'm speaking from experience on this one.) Eggs, on the other hand, are worth their weight in gold. And if you're young, fertile, and in good health, you've got 'em.
I came across an interesting post in The Cafe @ CafeMom asking if you'd "leggo your EGGo's" to help your family stay afloat in this dismal economy. Obviously, there are other benefits to donating eggs, too, like the knowledge that you're helping an infertile couple have a child, which is why Sarah (SLGross215), chose to donate her eggs twice.
II spoke to her to find out what the process was like.
Where do you live, and do you have kids?
I live in Minnesota, and we have three kids -- Tajmaah (DD), 11 years old, Janai (DS) 10, and Evyn (DS), 2.
What gave you the idea to donate your eggs?
I wanted other couples to know the joy of having a baby and going through the whole process, from conception to birth.
How did you find the clinic where you donated?
I saw an ad for it in our local paper.
How are moms selected to be able to donate? What's the process like?
They are very, very selective in picking donors. You must have already given birth at least once and you have to be within a certain age range -- for my clinic I believe it was 20 - 31. The process is pretty lengthy the first time you do it because you have to go through a number of tests, including a physical evaluation.
How much money did you receive, and is it taxed?
I was given $3,000.00 both times, and it's not taxed because it's considered reimbursement for time missed at work. You are not selling your eggs, you are donating.
Are you paid the money right away?
you have to wait a week for the reimbursement because you have to go
back to the clinic for a follow-up visit to make sure there aren't any problems.
What's involved with the egg donation process? How long does it take? Does it hurt?
Well, you go through quite a bit of testing, including blood draws a few times a week once you start the process. They also do an internal ultrasound to check your ovaries. You must be able to give yourself injections a few times a day for 2-3 weeks.
The injections are hormones to keep you from ovulating [until they're ready for you to]. The goal for them is to harvest as many eggs as possible. The first time I did it, they only got seven, but the second time, they got 24. They all go to the same family so that if the couple decides to have future children they will look alike.
Once it's time to harvest the eggs, they put you under and it only takes about 15 minutes for them to retrieve the eggs. When you wake up, the only thing you feel is some slight cramping.
Were you an anonymous donor?
is anonymous between the donor and the families. You're just a number on your file so that when other moms come in for their IVF treatments, they
aren't wondering if you're their donor.
Would you do it again?
I would, but now I'm over the age limit for it.
What were the downsides, if any?
There were no downsides to doing this.
Do you think some moms do it mostly for financial reasons, or in your experience is it a mix of altruism and financial gain?
Honestly I think it's a mix of both. At least back when I did it. Now I feel it's more for financial gain given the current state of the economy.
What do you think? Would you consider donating your eggs?
The idea sounds intriguing to me, but the financial gain would be the most motivating factor for me, honestly. Which isn't a good enough reason (even if the economy is tanking) for me. I also have a hard time with the idea that my child is out there in the world somewhere, and not knowing what their life is like. And it's always seemed really extravagent in my mind for a couple to spend SO much money on IVF when they could adopt a child who has already been concieved and needs a home. Especially when I consider the ethical issues that go along with creating several embryos and freezing them.
The idea that kids that are "half me" would be out there is disturbing and I don't want to even think about it. Talk about stress and worry and ulcers....my half kid ? Yikes....I would worry about what was happening to my offspring. Too much of a Sci-Fi thing.
If I wasn't over the age limit, I would do it in a heartbeat. who cares about the money, I see it as giving a husband and wife the oppurtunity of becoming a family. Yeah, a part of me would be out there somehwere, but who cares, I gave life to someone less fortunate to do it themselves. Think how happy you were when you held that lovely child in your arms, the joy he/she brought to you. I think everyone less fortunate deserves that happiness. Put yourself in their place, wouldn't you like for someone to do that for you? I think you would rethink the whole situation, if it was you. God Bless those of you that would, have, and are seriously thinking of helping those in need.
There not your children 1st of all....The mother who cradles this child for nine mnths, gives birth, and nurtures its every need is the mother...DNA is everywhere...I have donated 2 times..I am going for a third..The first couple had tripletts all girls the second one had twin boys...Its not always annonomous I met mine..I have my own son and plan to have more..But I dont think about these children as mine..I seen pictures of all and none resemble me weird but true...I think its the most selfless beautiful thing someone can do. And until you get your self educated on it you really dont know. And until your infertile you cant judge! I personally got $5,000 and $8,000. It wasnt about the money I love the experience and the happiness this family gets. Where is all the money? In my 3 yr old sons college account!
Mamsue educate yourself first....It is not your child out there it is simply your dna that child was never yours nor would it ever be...And for you to tell these women to adopt that is very easy for you to say because you carried a child in your womb they have never got that experience
Moomie its not selling them....You miss days of work you go through alot of pain shots...its not selling them you basically just get back what you missed in work what your childcare costs and all the pain an suffering!
No, I wouldn't.
I would totally do it and looked into years ago, before the economy went in the toilet. I am too old. :( Bummer.

Flying Halloween Witch 30 34
A little disappointed. The hat came off as I pulled it out the box. It looks like it hangs from the hat to I am a little worried that I might have problems reattaching the hat secruely enough to hang. August 13, 2014
Awesome Witch Our 1st purchase from Grandinroad and WOW.... the quality is definitely there. This witch is awesome. Others reviewed having to bulk up the shoulders or the hair not being like in the picture...we found she is plenty bulked up and the hair is great........she's perfect! She's VERY scary and lifesize.... you won't be sorry with this purchase! October 3, 2013
Flying Halloween Witch The witch is what we expected but her eyes don't light up and we're pretty disappointed about that. We probably WON'T be ordering from you again...last year she was out of stock and now that we got her her eyes don't work. Not worth the price because of that. October 14, 2011
OK prop Put this together today to see how it was. It needed some wire to make it look better and some padding. Since we are going to hang this up high I was disapointed that the eye lights do not have a sensor trigger. I think it will hold up well, but do not expect to just hang it up and be happy with it. I also think the broom needs to be longer. Mine only came with two pieces to attach and it is too short to be realistic. August 3, 2013
Very Cool Prop This witch definitely looks better in person than in the catalog photos. Fairly lightweight and very detailed face. I love her! I did have to 'extend' her back a bit, because the plastic that made up her shoulders/back was kind of flimsy. I took a can of great stuff and 'beefed' her up a bit so now she looks like a hunched over witch on a broom should look. Also I am going to have her flying off my roof, so instead of hanging her, I am going to have her sitting a top of a pole. October 11, 2011
Flying Halloween witch Just love her. Can't wait to get her up and flying soon. Her face is a hoot. Well worth the money. She will be a hit at the party I am sure. August 8, 2013
Love her! You won't be sorry. She is top quality. She has a fantastic face. Her broom is very full. Very easy to assemble. Just pull her out of the box and twist the two ends of the broom together. She hangs easily. You don't need to fuss at all. Her red glowing eyes are just enough for me. I don't like a lot of annyoing commotion from my Halloween props. She has a big presence! October 10, 2011
Great Halloween Decoration I bought this witch 4 years ago and we love her. She hangs outside from a wire we string between 2 trees and when the wind blows it looks like she is really flying. When I first received her, the broom would not go together, but my husband fixed it with a piece of wood dowel and some glue. I would recommend this to anyone. August 17, 2012

Answer:She's fairly bulky for sure. She does disassemble slightly from the broom stick. She would fit in a platic tub well.

It's a scene from R2B: Return to Base movie.
Ji Sukhyun (Lee Jongsuk) nearly passed out on CASS FRESH after the party with his teammates. It's so miraculous that it's the CASS FRESH he's now endorsing that appeared in the movie.
And I love the fact that everyone feels the needs to "pamper" Sukhyun, the ever-fainting co-pilot. Sukhyun slept on the sofa, and he was tugged into the blanket Taehoon (RAIN) brought from Daeseo's (Kim Sungsoo) room. So Sukhyun spent the night in Park family's house. Even though he rarely gets screen time, it's just heartwarming to see him sleeping soundly on the sofa.
That cute sleeping position :

Monday was yet another snow day for most school districts across our region -- adding to the uncertainty of how to make up for so much lost time in the classroom.
The decision making varies according to each school district.
In Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland, officials are hoping the state's Board of Education lets students spend fewer than the required 180 days in class this school year.
Prince George's Public Schools tell FOX 5: "We have had 8 snow days (9 if you include one non-student day - a professional development day). Our original last day of school was June 5. We had 4 days built in, but now we have had to add 4 more. So our tentative last day would be June 17. We are planning on requesting a waiver from the state of Maryland for a few of those days."
This is the 10th snow day for Montgomery County Public Schools students. Last week, Superintendent Dr. Joshua Starr asked the state for a waiver from the Maryland Board of Education.
MCPS officials tell us: "Of course, it doesn't include today's snow day. So even if all four days we requested were waived, we still would need to make up two days. And there's no guarantee we will get all four days waived."
Arlington County plans to lengthen some early release days this spring. Fairfax County wants to tack on some extra minutes to the school day and may ask for a waiver.
The Fairfax School Board communications office says: "Today is our 11th snow day (actually one - Jan 7 - was a cold weather day). We have added four days to the calendar as makeup days so far: Feb 17, Apr 7, June 23 & Jun 24. A number of options to make up today could be considered including adding another day at the end of the year, adding minutes to the school day or seeking a waiver from the state. No decision has been made yet by the school board."
At George C. Marshall High School near Falls Church Monday, custodian Miguel Morillo was about the only one working. He was clearing snow from the sidewalks.
One school administrator tells us the unrelenting weather is disrupting nearly every program at every school. Another school administrator says trying to reschedule things has been a mess, causing a domino effect.
The Maryland state Board of Education plans to meet next Tuesday and we are told it will start making decisions on waivers at that time.
In case you are feeling at wit's end, be glad you don't live in Garrett County in western Maryland. Those school children have already missed 19 days this winter.

They all had individual attention for hair and nails and were pampered to their hearts content. Emma and her team organised everything from the beautiful cupcakes to the fabulous party bags. It was the most stress free party ever and the girls all had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

This is the famous beach at Cannes where Bardot and other starlets once shed their bikinis for the adoring fans and photographers. Such stunts are passé here. Nothing shocks. The annual film festival gathers thousands of people in the industry who have the jaded look of too many action films that died at the box office. Still, shock-free though it is, Cannes is still a real kick and one would be a fool not to sample the huge menu of offerings. Already I have seen superb film, locked hands with one of my idols, Jane Campion, lined up for eternity and been denied a seat at the last minute, secured a prime seat for another screening, and gawked long and hard at the throngs of humanity who have descended to this fair of vanities.
At the moment I am eavesdropping on a deal going down at the next table. They're speaking English, but I can't quite make out what kind of film they're partnering on. The cliches abound, though: "the structure is solid and the script is very tight," he says. When has anyone said anything less?
I am planted at the Argentinian booth, waiting my own meeting with a lively distributor of films, eager to hear what she is promoting. This is the nature of the Cannes market, everyone selling or buying something, looking for the best deal or angle. Spanish is rolling off the tongue here, a little microcosm of South America. There are multitudes of microcosms, but we are bound here by the same love or interest in film, to be sure.
Anyhow, I have my own deals to make and hustles to manage and so I'm out of here for this week. A dirty job but…

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is an amzaing school. Not only do they offer all day kindergarten for free but the teacher's are outstanding, the principal is amazing, and the communication we receive is more than a parent could ever expect. We could not be happier. We are thrilled to see what 1st grade will have in store for us.
i have had 3 children in this school. the teachers are very caring but the principal needs work, their are safety issues that need to be resovled still after 10 years and no improvment. good teachers are leaving because of administration, so sad. we are looking for a new school or charter children with speical needs are put aside:(
My Daughter has been going to Sunrise, Kindergarten through 5th grade. Every single Teacher has been first class, helpful, caring and courteous. Im sorry we have to move. I just wish they had a yearbook every year.
We have been very happy with this school, this year. Our son has a great teacher, has been invited to many fun events, and has had the opportunity to grow and learn and exercise with a fun afterschool program. The office staff are typically very helpful and curteous. We are disappointed that the lunch period and recess are so incredibly short and sometimes communication is lacking a bit, but overall, we have had a good experience with this school.
My grandaughter has attended Sunrise Elementary School kindergarten through 6th grade. The teacher have always treated her in a positive, kind manner. They have also been supportive to her family, enabling them to assist in her education. Any problems we have had are handled quickly and fairly by the Principal and her Office Staff. With this start we are sure that she will go on to a successful middle and high school experience.
I am extremely disappointed in this school. The only thing good about this school is the teacher. Everything else is horrible! The office is staff is indecisive and unorganized. The principle runs the school like a boot camp and also is very rude. The children at the school only get 10 minutes of recess and no P.E. for the younger grades. With childhood obesity rates sky rocketing we're teaching our children to sit on thier butts all day. Great habit to create for the rest of thier life. Never take you child here!
Teachers I've met are so into the childrens needs. I know many use their own money to purchase educational products for their classrooms.
This school has been a great disapointment. Many of the teachers are caring and experienced, but with a total lack of leadership, or support from the never availble principal, there is constant chaos in the classrooms. There are severe discipline problems that are ignored, and the staff is often left to fend for themselves. It's too bad the welfare of the children is left out of the picture by the current administration. Some of the amazing teachers will probably be at a school near you!
This school has extremely dedicated teachers and staff members who go out of their way to help the students be the very best they can be! The PTO is involved in assisting the teachers and the students. The special education department has lots of challenges, but their students are making great strides in their achievements. All in all, Sunrise is a great place to be!
This school needs more parent involvement. I do not like how the monthly news letter comes out in the middle of the month after some activities have already happened and parents are not aware of them.
This is the most horrible school I have ever been in contact with. They are short staffed especially for special education and just do not understand kids with special needs.
My son went to Sunrise K-4th grade. I don't think Sunrise has done enough to help him with the things he has trouble with in reading and writing. They put him in a different reading program, but just kind of left him there. When he didn't improve, nothing was done.
I am very disappointed with the extra-curricular activities provided as well as a lack of administration involvement with the students.
Not thrilled about the lack of extra curricular activities, but like the timely response of the teacher when emailed
Both of my children attended Sunrise from kindergarten throught sixth grade. They both had wonderful, caring teachers that were very dedicated.
I have two daughters that attend Sunrise. I have found the teachers to be fabulous! They truly care about their students. The school tries to include parents in many learning opportunities in the evenings. This is great for working families. They also have an afterschool program (Lion's Den) that is run by a fun and caring staff. My daughters love going to school each day at Sunrise!
I have been extremely happy with the education my children are receiving at this school and with the additional help they receive when they need it.
Two of my four children have attended this school for the last four years, both boys, a year and three weeks apart in age. The older a confident honor roll student his entire school career the younger in special reading class ( for slow comprehension) for his career. I appreciate this schools programs like SAGE for my son who needs greater challenges and the title one programs for my son who has reading challenges.Currently at different ends of the boat, they areboth treated with respect and kindness and placed where they can individually grow. my 5th graders male teacher has superceded any hopeful expectations I had with his patient help with our zealous, yet challenging son. thanks.
They have a wonderful afterschool program called The Lions Den. My daughter is in kindergarden and so I am dissapointed they do not have all day kindergarden. I am dissappointed in the quality of programs they have and group activities.
Sunrise has very good teachers but they seem to be having problems getting the material need to bring up the test scores that are lagging behind the state average. the school is lacking in other areas as well. extracurricular activities are disappointing the facilities are out dated and showing there age. The computers are very few and fare between.

What I found best about this film is absolutely its lead performances and its incredibly vibrant and creative action sequences. I've seen some decrying the flashiness of the action, but I think they wonderfully accent the tone of the film. I saw a film taking directorial risk were it could to create an identity sorely lacking in the first installment, but also I saw a film becoming slightly lost in the process with its somewhat thick storyline. At least two subplots could have been completely left out and the film would not have been any different without them. I suppose like most sequels they are setting up plot points for the third one. Back on the plus side though, pitting its climax against any of the other superhero films of the year is a losing battle for all those other films. The climax is absolutely perfect, and directed with impeccable attention for small details. I'd say besides Raimi's Spider-Man 2, this is the best Spidey film in existence. Nice score too.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)The first time I have been truly wowed by an animated film in years!… More The first time I have been truly wowed by an animated film in years! This was such a leap up from an already very good original. It tries its darndest to create something fresh from the typical storytelling devices employed in American animation, and avoids the pitfalls the original fell into. It works. It's super engaging and emotionally sincere, and is probably the first animated film to get this 100% right since TS3. Unquestionably, the best thing to ever come out of Dreamworks Animation, something I also said about the first.

How did you get interested in photography?
How did you get interested in photography?
Urm well I was always fascinated with looking at my grandparents photos when I was younger, of places and people I've never seen or met. That and I did media at school, a couple of projects involved photography and I loved it :)
I have so many ideas that I never seem to act on. Maybe I will make a series of self portraits focusing on my emotions.
If anything, I need to experiment more with my work and update this blog more often!

In the early 1980s, when her daughter, Mary Claire, was an infant, Hope Gilchrist decided to quit her on-and-off smoking habit for good. The stay-at-home mom and grad student succeeded but put on 30 pounds in the process. After dieting on lettuce and sugar-free cookies didn't work, Hope enlisted a therapist who helped her get to the root of her emotional eating. "I stopped labeling food as either good or bad and was finally able to indulge in a single piece of cake instead of eating the entire thing," Hope says. It was as if a switch had been flipped: She not only lost the hang-ups and the weight but also acquired an exercise habit that stuck.
As Mary Claire got older, she watched her mom embrace the latest fitness crazes, first following in the spandexed footsteps of Jane Fonda, then going to step aerobics classes and then taking up Spinning when it hit the gym scene in the mid-1990s. "I was very aware of not imposing over-the-top rules about what Mary Claire ate and just encouraged her to enjoy playing sports not to burn calories but because it was fun," Hope says.
These days Hope runs three mornings a week in her Jonesboro, Arkansas, suburb before work, does Pilates regularly, and works out with a personal trainer twice a week. "If you would have told me when I was younger that at 61 I'd like my body more than I ever have before, I wouldn't have believed you," she says. "I wasted so much time focusing on my weight and the number on the scale instead of the energy that exercise has filled my life with."

I went through it, many of you probably went through it as well. The Netflix scare! They are adding up the prices to the simple streaming plans, and it can cost an arm and a leg for some.
My first reaction was to cancel it.
Then I did some thinking, and I realized that I need their services to run this blog and that the ad revenue from this blog is just enough to pay for it.
So with that in mind, I have a couple of requests:
1. Patronize the Sponsor - If you are going to buy horror movie t-shirts please buy them from the Horror Shop links. I don't have any other sponsors right now, but I'm always on the look out.
2. Links - If you have a site, and you want to buy a link, you can do so at a low price.
3. Requests - Send me your requests! I decided to upgrade my Netflix account to 3 at a time, so I am going to deliver far more reviews than ever before, so please throw some ideas at me.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

We're into swapping. As little farts we swapped our marmite and cheese sammies, especially if it was for a pie with all it's meaty goodness. We swapped marbles and trading cards. So we figured why not start swapping again, not wife swapping but art, design and creative treat swapping.
We've created Swapsies an opportunity for everyone to swap their creations and make their lives pretty. It's already happening overseas but we wanted a New Zealand based site that focuses on promoting amazing kiwi talent. Of course we'll still swap with creative talent around the world. We love creativity and passion and love collecting things that inspire and delight us, and we think others might too. And it's all free, well expect for postage.
How does it work?
We'll aim to have a swap every fortnight. We'll feature this on the website. If you like what you see and have a trade, play Swapsies.
Propose your swap by clicking the submit your swap button. Then you can email us an image of your proposed swap and a wee description. The featured artist can pick whatever they love. If your piece is chosen it'll be showcased on the website. We'll contact you with the email details of the featured artist so you can swap addresses. You are responsible for getting your swap to them and them to you, that includes any postage costs. Soon you'll be making your life prettier. If yours isn't picked don't be sad, there's always next time, and some people have crap taste.
What can you swap?
If you've created it, you can propose it. It'll be over to the featured artist if it rocks their socks.
How many are available for Swapsies?
Each featured artist can decide how many they want to swap from 1 to 6, then we'll let you know what's up for grabs.
How do you become a featured artist?
We'll contact artists we have participated in Swapsies to see if they want to feature and feel free to email us at email@example.com if you're

Left is re-imagined Mulan, right is still from Mulan film. Pretty drastic difference, not only in the color of her skin, but also in the shape of her features (new lips are fuller, new face is slimmed and longer). The new Mulan's eyes now seem to have a blue highlight, making them look like Western blue eyes. Hmm…
[submission with a closer shot]
ok, I kept seeing these types of mulan posts on my dash tonight and wasn't going to say anything but… blue eyes??? really disney?
….way to whiteify everything
and also Jasmine's dolls are whitewashed to hell and back and no on like Tiana
…awesome job disney
the blue eyes, damn why
What the everloving fuck.
It's a quick ten minute job, and by no means perfect, but the whitewashing pissed me off enough I decided to try making a few corrections. As you can probably tell, original picture on left, altered image on right. I couldn't do anything about her lips, but I did what I could for the rest.
I don't think I got her skintone quite right, but this was the best I could do with my limited image editing skills.

The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent
my employer's view in anyway.
My friend, Chester, shared this link with me. I am fully aware of Facebook's privacy policies and I think that it leaves much more to be desired. This is precisely the reason why I dont share much in Facebook or dont put up incriminating pictures of myself up there.
I wonder how many of the millions of people in Facebook knows about this. Come to think of it, who wouldnt do so. I would assume that the Googles, Amazons, LinkedIns would love to have that kind of leverage and power, wouldnt they ?
It was so sad that I received news that one of our gym-training buddies in the late 90s and early 2000s, Choong Tsih Sing has passed away peacefully this morning (2343 London Time). A bunch of us havent seen him or been in communications with him since he has migrated to London with his wife and sons.
This is the 2nd friend I have (same age as me) who passed away due to cancer at a very early age. The other was a computer programmer buddy of mine who I learnt my basics of programming with. I had another friend of the same age who died in a boating accident a number of years ago.
I dont need any reminders to tell me that life is short and fragile but it is definitly hard not to reflect and be sad when tragedies like these happen to friends of the same age group around me. Many times, while we are chasing the technology or/and corporate ladders, these are reminders to tell us what are the important things in life and what are just immaterial. In fact, many many things are just immaterial. I am a huge subscriber of Buddhism' teachings: Dharma and its 4 Noble Truths in its core essence that "Nothing is permanent"
Rest in Peace, our friend, Sing and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
If you think this isnt funny enough, wait till you hear this.

Artists' impressions of the luxury accommodation awaiting visitors to Mecca from next year. Photo: Supplied by Raffles
THE pilgrimage to Mecca, one of the five pillars of Islam, has always involved hardship and sacrifice, whether months spent travelling on foot through barren valleys and sleeping in the open or stripping oneself of earthly trappings.
But now Raffles, which gave thirsty wanderers the Singapore Sling, is opening a luxury hotel in Mecca offering pilgrims a coffee sommelier, a chocolate room where chefs will prepare bespoke pralines and truffles, and a 24-hour butler service.
Undeterred by restrictions on beautifying oneself during the Haj, the hotel will also have segregated gyms, beauty salons, and a spa.
During the Haj, Muslims are expected to forget worldly thoughts and activities and focus on the divine, even dressing in the same manner so that distinctions of wealth and culture are set aside.
Mohammed Arkobi, the general manager of the new hotel, did not explain how its planned amenities complied with the ethos of the Haj.
But he did say that the ''comprehensive range of services'' was designed to meet the needs of the ''discerning'' travellers it was targeting.
Mr Arkobi said the hotel was a three-minute walk from the Grand Mosque, and that a ''spacious outdoor dining terrace'' would provide direct views of it.
It is being developed by the Saudi Binladin Group, one of the largest construction companies in the Arab world, which has also been responsible for the expansion of the holy mosques in Mecca and Medina.
The company was set up by Mohammed bin Laden, father of Osama, although the family is estranged from its most infamous son.
About 4 million people visit Mecca for Haj each year. Estimates for future numbers vary wildly - from 10 million to 20 million - and Mecca has undergone a dramatic transformation to cope with demand.
One development that will dominate the skyline is the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, operated by international hoteliers Fairmont, a company chaired by Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, the Saudi king's nephew.
The tower will be 577 metres high on completion and its dimensions, including a clockface measuring 40 metres across that will be visible 16 kilometres away, make it five times larger than London's Big Ben.
Mecca's makeover is proving alarming for international activists such as Ali al-Ahmed, the director of the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs.
''The [House of Saud] want to make Mecca like Dubai; it is a money-making operation,'' Mr Ahmed said, expressing concern that the arrival of luxury brands would increase the price of a pilgrimage.
''By developing Mecca in this way, they are making it inaccessible and unaffordable for the majority of Muslims. It will only be for the elite.''
The city's increasing Westernisation amounted to a ''perversion of the religion'', Mr Ahmed said.
Raffles Mecca is due to open next April.

Media Studies is one of the most popular Advanced Level subjects. Understanding the world around us depends greatly upon our ability to understand how the media represents the world to us. The aim of Media Studies is to equip students with the ability to be active readers of the media. Over the two years of the course students will analyse a range of media forms, from broadcasting and print to e-media; develop an understanding of the major key concepts that underpin any media text and explore the factors influencing their production.
Unit 1: Investigating the Media
(1 hour 30 minutes written exam)
In Unit 1 candidates will investigate the contemporary media to develop an understanding of how the underlying meaning of a text and the audiences' response to it is created. Students' learning will be assessed via a written response to a piece of previously unseen media text and an essay question.
Unit 2: Creating Media
Students will create two linked practical pieces taken from the media platforms studied in Unit 1. These platforms are: e-media, broadcasting and print. They will also produce a single, accompanying evaluation and pre-production folder for both pieces.
Unit 3: Critical Perspectives
(1 hour 30 minutes written exam)
Students will be expected to show their knowledge of the concepts studied at AS Level but also to develop and formulate their approach to the media and its role in today's society, by referring in detail to the wider social, historical, political and economic contexts in which media texts are produced.
Unit 4: Research and Production
In Unit 4 students will carry out an in depth investigation into a media text, theme, issue or debate relevant to the contemporary media landscape. They will then use this exploration to inform a production piece that relates to this research. The work created will be in the form of both a written critical investigation (of 2,000 words) and a linked practical production piece.
An A Level in Media Studies is not your passport to a job in this field of work. However, media employers do look encouragingly at a student who can demonstrate an understanding of how the media operates. The Media industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the World and University courses reflect employer's demands for crucial skills in this discipline.
Students will normally achieve A* to C grades in a range of subjects. Due to the volume of written work, good English skills are an important requirement. However, the key to success in the subject is your ability to embrace new ideas and a desire to develop an inquisitive mind.

Record: 37 – 35 – 10
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Prospects eager to impress
Gregoire, Clark concerned about lockout's effect on NHL dream
All across North America and Europe, NHL players are keeping one eye on meetings in New York while wondering aloud about possible Plan Bs.
Whether it is Sidney Crosby or Andrew Ladd, Steven Stamkos or Bryan Little, the NHL's finest are asking this: Where do they turn to ply their trade if the NHL locks them out at the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement Saturday night?
Fair question, that.
And then there are those like Winnipeg Jets prospects Jason Gregoire and Kevin Clark. Their Plan B is set: the lockout drags on a couple of weeks and they are on the first plane to St. John's for IceCaps training camp.
But what they are more concerned about right now is their Plan A: the NHL dream.
More specifically, getting the chance to chase their Plan A.
"I'm preparing like there's going to be a season," said Gregoire, the Winnipeg-born winger who has been skating regularly at the MTS Iceplex over the last couple of weeks.
"But I'm also preparing for a lockout, just because if they call and say there is no NHL I've got to be ready to go right to St. John's without having an NHL camp.
"I've got some security," Gregoire added. "Those guys on one-way deals, they must be thinking in the back of their mind, 'Do I wait this out in Winnipeg? What am I going to do?' Me, I'd love the opportunity to try out for Winnipeg again. But, if not, I know I'm going back to St. John's."
Still, the dream isn't supposed to be temporarily sidetracked this way. It's all about getting a foot in the door for prospects and draft picks. It's about opportunity. And any chance they get to be evaluated alongside NHL regulars by the team's brass is a godsend.
So the concern for those not written in pen on the depth chart is this: A drawn-out lockout likely means a shortened season. A shortened season means a compacted training camp. And with teams needing to get ready in a hurry, a shortened camp likely means the invitations to those not already deemed regulars could be scarce.
For example, in the lockout of 1994-95 that reduced the schedule to 48 games, the pre-season was wiped out and the season began immediately after short camps.
And that does no good for the likes of Gregoire or Clark.
"It's a tough spot for us or any younger guy that wants to come to camp, make an impression and see how they stack up against the full-time guys," Clark said this week. "But I also can't say enough about St. John's and to be able to go there and know we're going to have a solid team is exciting.
"There is still some optimism. All we can do is come to the rink every day and prepare like camp is going to start next week. If not, all eyes will be on the AHL and it's our job to work to be the first guys called up."
Questions, questions, questions. It can drive a guy with a short window to turn heads loopy... if he lets it.
"I've asked a couple of guys about that, about what happens to camp, but no one really knows," Gregoire said. "What happens if it's resolved quickly? Will they bring guys like me and Clarkie back from St. John's or will it pretty much be the 25-man roster?
"I guess I can't worry about that. Basically, the situation hasn't changed since last year: I still have to prove myself. I'm ready to prove myself whether it's at a camp here in Winnipeg or in St. John's."
MORE NET DEPTH? James Shewaga of the Brandon Sun reports that former Wheat Kings goaltender Tyler Plante has received a training camp invitation from the IceCaps.
A second-round draft pick of the Florida Panthers in 2005, the 25-year-old Plante played for four different teams in 2011-12: Mora IK in the Swedish First Division and Djurgardens IF Stockholm in the Swedish Elite League, the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL and the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL. Plante has played in 108 AHL games, mostly with the Rochester Americans.
Plante would presumably be battling Eddie Pasquale and former Springfield Falcons netminder Mark Dekanich, along with Chris Carrozzi, for work with the IceCaps.

Miguel de Icaza Announces Xamarin Company
"We have been trying to spin Mono off from Novell for more than a year now," de Icaza writes. "Everyone agreed that Mono would have a brighter future as an independent company, so a plan was prepared last year."
He says that the new company will focus on a new commercial .NET offering for iOS and Android; it will contribute, maintain and develop the open source Mono and Moonlight components; and it will explore the Moonlight opportunities in the mobile space and the Mac appstore.
"The new versions of .NET for the iPhone and Android will be source compatible with MonoTouch and Mono for Android. Like those versions, they will be commercial products, built on top of the open core Mono," he writes. To help with the new company's projects, provide feedback by completing an online platforms and features survey.

This Is How It Looks0 Reviews
i don't know where this one is going, but i promise to try and update it as much as i can. also i don't know what the rating should be, so it might change.* appearance ISN'T everything
brilliant boys climb their way off the stage, the singer, the guitarist, the bassist, swinging instruments at their
backs, while the drummer sticks his drumsticks in his pocket and leaves the heavy lifting to the roadies. The guitarist, really, the other guitarist, and the drummer manage to sneak away easily, so they get the first hugs. Fans recoignize the girls, who have been with the band for months now. One is a girl friend, the other is of some unknown importance. The girlfriend has red curls, pale skin and baby blue eyes. She hugs the boys hurriedly, while the second girl, with similar bone structure but a tanned complexion and blonde hair, waits for her chance with the boys as they breeze by on their way. Several fans notice them and wave, and the boys wave back and head to the sanctity of the bus.
The other two boys hurry off, the short lead singer taking a rare opportunity to lead, which he wouldn't do, but for the fact his bandmate is anxious for one more second under the adoring gaze of those people. The blonde girl reaches the singer and hugs him with such force that the immovable baseball cap miraculously shifts. He laughs at her, then turns to the second girl and smiles, embarrassed by either the first girls exuberance, or, quite possibly, his success. The fans watch them hug, but miss the gentle stroke of his hand against her back. She kisses his cheek and they laugh together, innocently. The fans scream for him, and he waves, almost disbelievingly, as his partner in crime and best friend hurries over, suddenly, irrevocably eager to get away. His head is almost completely down, but his face lights up for the girls, and he and the redhead kiss lovingly. The affection between them is unmistakeable, and their respective friends can only stand and wait for it to end, hugging each other, and looking awkward. The crowd is in an uproar, some cheering, some hissing in distaste, and she laughs at him and jerks away. He hugs the second girl quickly, his arm still entwined with the first, and, as a team, they walk back to the tour bus, ready to do it all again tomorrow. Midway through the walk, the singer catches up to the couple's stride, and the dark-featured bassist slings his spare arm around the younger man's stooped shoulders. For all appearances, everything here makes a perfect, beautiful sense.
And as anyone in show business will tell you, appearance is everything.


text: In 2008, 228 amateur-built fixed-wing aircraft were involved in 226 distinct accidents[...] Sixty-one of these were fatal, resulting in 82 deaths; these [...] made up 26% of fatal accidents and 19% of all fatalities. By comparison, amateur-built aircraft logged less than 5% of the corresponding flight time. [...] The 27% lethality rate in these accidents was 10 full percentage points higher than that of accidents in type-certificated airplanes.Are you flying an amateur-built aircraft? No? Then your chances are less than 7.2% (I didn't do the math). Other factors, such as type of aircraft, usage spectrum and your own personality, will also affect the probability (higher or lower). You need to look at the data carefully and then decide. A good starting point is to read the case studies in that report.
