You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am a recent graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville and have a dual degree in Classics (Greek and Latin) and Philosophy. I tutor in the languages of Latin, Spanish, Ancient Greek and English and am very qualified to do so. I have tutored in Latin for 3 years at my school and taught a class at school through a volunteer program. I currently work full time. On the rare occasion that there is a student needing assistance in Philosophy (perhaps with writing especially) I am also available for that. My method of teaching is adjusted to the needs of the student. I foresee two situations: Scenario # 1. You are in a middle school, high school or college Latin, Spanish, English or Ancient Greek class. You are falling behind and need some assistance.Scenario # 2. You are wishing to learn to speak, write, read or improve your current Latin, Spanish, English or Ancient Greek ability because you wish to receive a head start before a class, need it for your professional career, or simply have a desire to learn the subject. In either case, I am willing to help.
I have translated, interpreted and written scholarly papers on the following in Greek literature: Plato's Ion, Thucydides, Aristotle, Democritus and many others. The Classics degree I received required 15 credit hours of Ancient Greek.

Excellent ancient Greek tutor. — Excellent tutor. Very agreeable regarding the time in which to meet. Great for keeping me on task! Great knowledge of the language and provides me with a lot of supplementary information.

Honestly the Mixtrack is great for mixing and adding some effects, but learning to scratch on it is very difficult. The crossfader isn't the most sensitive and its hard to keep track of your samples without being able to feel the platters' movement. I've enjoyed learning on it but have quickly outgrown it. I would say it is worth buying though because it will let you know if its something you want to pursue.

picking dj gear thats best for you can be broken down into a few factors:
1. budget - what can you afford
2. format - do you plan using vinyl, cd or midi or a combination of those. also does the music you like get released on that format?
3. portability - will your setup be sitting at home 24/7 or will you have to carry it around everywhere
4. plan - are you a hobbyist or do you plan on earning a living from djing, also do you aim to scratch, beat juggle and so on..
once you know the answers to those then you will begin to narrow down your options.

Okay tryna help out one of my best friends by asking on this forum, he wants to become a DJ, he want to start with DJing BREAKDANCE BEATS / HIP HOP, then after that some hard core club songs, techno.
He said he got a budget on around 1450-1500$, he doesn't know what to get. Can you help out?
Also wanna ask, how do you remix songs? Do you need to use some software and is it more like beatmaking than DJing?
Im not a DJ pro, so might ask alot of questions :P. All I know about DJing actually is scratching, beatmatching then changing song.
Not many people are replying in my thread so im using this one instead :P
My friend is going to this style later

If you're up to DJ in a less traditional way than 2 turntables and a mixer, you may want to get a used APC 40 and Ableton and DJ with that...I've never tried it but have a few friends that do some amazing stuff with it

A new study ranks Vermont third in the nation for children's well-being.
The report shows Vermont made improvements in children's health, education, family and community. But the number of kids without families has risen from 13 percent in 2005 to 31 percent today.
Vermont received the highest rank in health. Gov. Peter Shumlin says Vermont's high score is directly related to the investments the state has made in child care facilities and programs.
"Let's be proud of what we've done. We have a lot more work to do, let's get it done together. A strong start for kids means a strong economy for Vermonters," said Shumlin, D-Vermont.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation, which released this study, runs a state foster care facility that they've elected to close in December. It's a decision foster parents say will disrupt an already vulnerable population. Shumlin says it won't affect the quality of care provided in Vermont.

The CSC | CSC Members | Magazine | Awards | Home | |
Calendar Education Membership Online Pay Sponsors & Links |
The calendar year has been dropped and instead each gala will now be signified by the chronological age of our organization and annual awards celebration. Our new marquee acknowledges our past, while revealing our present with a watchful eye peering into the unknown but exciting future. Producing an event the magnitude of our awards gala requires the help and effort from many different people and organizations. Not least of which are the CSC sponsors. We thank them for their generous donations year after year that afford us this privilege of honouring excellence in cinematography. A huge thank you goes to the CSC's Co-Vice Presidents Carolyn Wong and Ron Stannett csc – who is also our Awards Chair— for their guidance and participation on and off stage. Most of this year's presenters were drawn from the ranks of the CSC membership. A special thank you to Kim Derko csc, Serge Desrosiers csc, David Herrington csc, Mitch Ness csc and Arthur Cooper csc for jobs well done. Who would have thought that behind the scenes DOPs would have so much style and grace in front of a live crowd! Well-earned gratitude goes to this year's stage manager, Sydney Kondruss, who kept the stage traffic flowing smoothly, without mishap. Also, a heartfelt thank you goes to this year's award's personnel for their hard work in helping to create a perfect evening: Nancy Angevine-Sands, Katrina Sands, Ewanna Gallo, Graeme Kondruss and Sylvia Richmond. This was the first time that the CSC awards were streamed live over the Internet. We are much indebted to John Ellis and Resolve Collaboration Services for making this happen. For one CSC member, the Internet broadcast was cause for merriment despite not being there. Manfred Guthe csc says he celebrated the evening too, even eating his dinner and dessert at the same time we did in Toronto as he followed the awards Gala on his computer….in Mexico! The CSC's multi-camera broadcast was made possible by a very talented and skilled crew spearheaded by director Luke Gallo. CSC member Ian McLaren was the camera supervisor with the help of camera operators Alexey Sikorsky also a CSC member, Jordan de Biasi, Luciano Carpasio and grip Orhan Suman. New this year was our roving photographer, Kayla-Jane Barrie, whose terrific photos documenting the evening are much appreciated. I would like to express a tremendous amount of gratitude to CSC Executive Director Susan Saranchuk and Executive Assistant Karen Longland for their hard work, expertise and good taste that was evident in yet another fabulously produced Awards Gala. See everyone again next year, and in the meantime, good shooting. [ Magazine ][ Archives ][ Search ]

I was particularly happy to see the Fedex guy today because he was dropping off my personal copy of Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide: 2009 Edition. I know I will be thumbing through this hefty 432-page volume for the next 12 months, until the 2010 Edition is published. At that point 2009 will be moved to the bookshelf, next to the heavily highlighted and dog-eared copy of 2008 that I am retiring right now.
As you probably know, these guides are chock full of stats about online retailing and articles that put those stats in perspective, starting with the Publisher's Letter, penned by Jack Love. This year he describes the motivation behind the publication: "the firm belief that the more everyone knows about the nation's 500 largest e-retailers, the faster e-retailing will advance as an industry."
I think everyone who works in this industry is thankful to Mr. Love, not only for publishing this information, but also for articulating exactly why the industry that it serves–and he serves and we serve–is such an important industry:
When you consider that online retailing has been the fastest growing segment of the American retail market for more than a decade, this directory is a vital publication indeed, especially when the recovery of the American economy is dependent on consumer spending at the retail level.
And there are numbers to back that up. As Mark Brohan, Research Director at Internet Retailer, notes in his Overview: "overall web sales were responsible for 20% of the growth in total retail sales last year while accounting for about 6.5% of sales." In other words, while 2008 was not a growth year for bricks-and-mortar retailers, online retailing kept the cash registers ringing. And the role of the Top 500 can be assessed like this: Top 500 sales grew 11.7% last year, which is more than 8X the overall U.S. retail sales growth in 2008.
There are many things to enjoy in online retailing, like the efficient matching of buyers with sellers, facilitating the smooth delivery of goods from manufacturers to consumers. The idea that you are doing your part to help America recover from its economic woes is an added and welcome bonus.

Speech by Deputy Jerry Buttimer, TD, Chairman of Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children at the launch of Samaritans Ireland's Impact Report, November 2010 – October 2011
For most of us there are 168 hours in a week but for Samaritans there are 1,069 hours each week. That is the average listening time each week provided by the 1,300 volunteers who give of their time to continue the life supporting services of Samaritans in Ireland.
Samaritans began operating in Ireland in 1970, from a single room with a handful of volunteers. Since then it has expanded to 12 branches throughout the country and provides 24 hour listening services to those who are in need of comfort and support as they struggle to deal with the challenges and difficulties that life presents.
Too often, the work of Samaritans, and the volunteers who run the telephone lines, goes unacknowledged, yet they continue to provide a valuable support without seeking the limelight or attention.
Today, launching this Impact Report is an opportunity to recognise and thank the 1,300 volunteers and everyone involved in the Samaritans for the service they provide.
The Impact Report for the twelve months from November 2010 to October 2011 presents an opportunity to highlight the achievements of the organisation.
In the last year Samaritans Ireland provided more than 55,600 listening hours, recoding 265,445 dialogue contacts – telephone calls lasting more than 10 seconds – supporting people who may have been in distress, suffering from anxiety, or experiencing suicidal thoughts.
As well as those extraordinary headline figures what is even more pertinent are the year on year comparatives. While there was a two per cent increase in the listening hours provided, there the number of calls received increased by 9 per cent. Some of this increase may be due to improved awareness, a greater willingness to talk about emotional and mental health; inevitably some of the increase is due to pressures which are being exacerbated by financial stress.
Mental Health
Over the last ten years suicide rates have generally decreased, a trend replicated across most of Europe. However, with the onset of the financial crises that trend has changed, we have begun to see an increase in the number of suicides. Across Europe that trend is most pronounced in Greece and here in Ireland. It is reported that between 2007 and 2009 we saw a 13 per cent increase in suicide rates.
The financial pressures are having a negative impact on emotional and mental health. Depression and relationship difficulties are intensified by financial problems. As individuals come under greater stress the role and value of organisations like Samaritans increases.
Recently the Government has announced an increased funding package for mental health. It is providing €35 million to further advance the implementation of 'A Vision for Change'. Recognising the prevalence of suicide, the Government has identified suicide prevention as a priority area in its mental health policy. The measures on suicide prevention will include roll-out of the Suicide Crisis Assessment Nurse (SCAN) initiative, improved response to deliberate self-harm and training for GPs. Part of the €35m will be used to increase the availability of psychological and counselling services in Primary Care.
I am confident that these initiatives will assist in developing treatment and after-care support to meet the needs of people with mental health.
Because Government initiatives will never be able to completely address all mental health issues organisations like Samaritans will always have a vital role.
The huge level of contact made to Samaritans in the past 12 months not only indicates the strain which people find themselves under, but it is also a testament to the support on offer. People contact Samaritans because they know they will receive a professional and confidential service, no matter what time of day or night it is.
As we approach the holiday season, I know that Samaritans' volunteers are scheduling their shifts to ensure that a 24 hour service will be available for people who find themselves in need of emotional support. This level of dedication is very commendable and – while the statistics highlighted today are very concerning – it is heartening to know that hundreds of people are so willing to give of their time to help others.

Like many victims of the American education system, I had a dislike for Shakespeare years before I got my hands on anything he had written. His name was a password to be profaned by 12-year-olds whose voices had started to change and who therefore had to act tough and cynical and, especially at 12, anti-intellectual.
But part of the problem came later, in the classroom, where we inched through "Julius Caesar" and "Macbeth" at a velocity of ten lines an hour. It was impossible to read Shakespeare as slowly as we did and remember anything from the first three acts by the time we got to the murders. "Who's this Brutus guy?" we whispered. What was needed as an introduction was an approach that caught the spirit and life of Shakespeare and didn't get bogged down prematurely in the language.
With this in mind, I believe Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" is the most exciting film of Shakespeare ever made. Not because it is greater drama than Olivier's "Henry V," because it is not. Nor is it greater cinema than Welles' "Falstaff." But it is greater Shakespeare than either because it has the passion, the sweat, the violence, the poetry, the love and the tragedy in the most immediate terms I can imagine. It is a deeply moving piece of entertainment, and that is possibly what Shakespeare would have preferred.
To begin with, Zeffirelli's film is the first production of "Romeo and Juliet" I am familiar with in which the romance is taken seriously. Always before, we have had actors in their 20s or 30s or even older, reciting Shakespeare's speeches to each other as if it were the words that mattered. They do not, as anyone who has proposed marriage will agree. Often enough, one cannot even remember what was said at moments of great emotion; the words are outpourings of the soul.
And that is the effect Zeffirelli achieves in two almost impossible scenes: the balcony scene and the double suicide in the tomb. There are some lines in Shakespeare too famous for their own good. When Hamlet winds up for "to be, or not to be," the entire audience is there ahead of him, waiting for those lines, watching them come down the track. The same is true of Juliet's "Romeo, Romeo, oh, wherefore art thou, Romeo?" The very words bring back memories of campfire skits.
It is to the credit of Zeffirelli and his young players (Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey) that they have brought the lines and characters of Romeo and Juliet back to life again. In a theater filled to capacity Saturday night, not one single person found it necessary to snicker when Juliet asked so simply where Romeo was; we were looking for him, too.
The success of the film depends upon Whiting and Miss Hussey. Zeffirelli reportedly interviewed hundreds of young actors and actresses before choosing them; if so, then this is the first movie "talent search" worth the trouble. They are magnificent. We can see why Zeffirelli didn't want older actors. The love between Romeo and Juliet, and the physical passion that comes with it, are of that naive and hopeless intensity only those in love for the very first time can comprehend.
Zeffirelli places his lovers within a world of everyday life. With the first shots of the film, we are caught up in the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. We understand the nature of the quarrel between Tybalt (Michael York) and Mercutio (John McEnery) instinctively because Zeffirelli has picked them for their types: cocky insolence vs. sly mockery. The key supporting roles of Friar Lawrence (Milo O'Shea) and Juliet's nurse (Pat Heywood) are also superbly cast. For once, the nurse and friar are young enough to have empathy with the lovers. In most productions, they are creaking relics.
And all of this is photographed with great intensity (even a hand-held camera for the dueling scenes) and beauty. As in his first film, "The Taming of the Shrew," Zeffirelli has controlled his colors carefully. Everything is red and brown and yellow, dusty and sunlit, except for the fresh green of the garden during the balcony scene and the darkness of the tomb.
A lot of fuss has been made about the brief, beautiful nude love scene. I doubt whether anyone could see it and disapprove of it, but apparently someone has. The Chicago Board of Education I am informed, objects to the nudity and will not approve the film for educational use after its commercial run. This is stupidity.
If Chicago's educators could show me a city filled with students who rejoice in Shakespeare, I would yield the point. But they cannot, and Zeffirelli is so far ahead of them, so much richer and deeper, so much more inspired in his interpretation of our greatest poet, that the Board of Education cannot fly with him and must find excuses in half a dozen frames of a joyous film.

Israel Ends Plan for Early Polls (WSJ) WALL STREET JOURNAL) By JOSHUA MITNICK TEL AVIV, ISRAEL 05/08/12)
Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303630404577389924020466382.html
WALL STREET JOURNAL Articles-Index-Top
TEL AVIVPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached an 11th-hour deal to form a national unity government with the main opposition Kadima party, canceling plans to dissolve parliament and hold early elections four months from now.
Tuesday´s predawn deal would bolster the stability of Mr. Netanyahu´s government and allow it to serve out the remainder of its term until October 2013 by bringing opposition leader Shaul Mofaz into the cabinet as a deputy prime minister and a minister without portfolio.
Adding Kadima into the government would add a dovish counterweight to Mr. Netanyahu´s hard-line coalition, making him less dependent on the votes of Jewish settlers and give him more political leeway to push for renewing peace talks with the Palestinians.
Noga Katz, a spokeswoman for Mr. Netanyahu´s Likud Party, confirmed the deal was finalized early Tuesday morning.
Just a few hours earlier on Monday evening, Mr. Netanyahu´s Likud Party was pushing legislation to a final vote that would have set Sept. 4 as the new election date from 2013.
Mr. Netanyahu on Monday defended his decision to seek early elections as an unavoidable step that would avoid increasing political instability and populist "extortion" by coalition partners as the government headed into the final months of its term.
Bringing Kadima into the government will boost Mr. Netanyahu´s coalition majority by 28 seats on top of its existing 66 in the 120- seat parliament.
Israeli media said Messrs. Netanyahu and Mofaz agreed to push through legislation to end exemptions from compulsory military service for ultra-Orthodox students, a proposal that had outraged religious parties and sown infighting in the coalition.
Opinion polls in recent days showed Mr. Netanyahu´s Likud Party with a commanding lead over a fractured field of parliamentary rivals, but early elections still would have involved a political gamble because of the volatile nature of Israel politics.
Mr. Mofaz, the recently elected leader of Kadima Party, on the other hand, will benefit from avoiding the early vote because opinion polls forecast that his party was poised to lose more than half of its seats in parliament.

The celebration also usually features multiple live bands and live performance "paintings."

Once he gained power in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez proved impossible to remove. Only death could do that, as it did this week from complications related to cancer.
Chavez didn't write a new story. He followed a script that has been copied by countless dictators, right down to the euphemisms that made bad things sound good and the name calling that set off smoke screens to hide the real impacts of his decisions.
He owed his political longevity in part to his success rewriting the nation's constitution to do away with term limits, in part to his ability to divide Venezuelans against each other by class and in part to his crackdown on critical voices in the media. He understood the power of media and propaganda. Chavez became a ubiquitous television star, broadcasting speeches that would last hours at a time and hosting a weekly Sunday show that would combine speeches with entertaining variety and jokes. He ruled through charisma and personality, and he was ruthless. He nationalized private businesses, controlled food distributions and made friends with the world's most murderous dictators, even as he stood at the United Nations and compared U.S. President George W. Bush to the devil.
But the only question of importance today is what Venezuela will do in his absence.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro will assume power for the time being, but the nation's constitution requires an election within 30 days. Chavez left a legacy of class divisions that did not die with him, and yet by all indications his programs did nothing to spread wealth or opportunity to the nation's poor. That sort of change comes only through the establishment of democratic institutions, independent courts and media, an inclusive democratic process and a vibrant private marketplace. Unfortunately, the passions his personality inflamed, as well as the nation's high inflation rate, may keep Venezuela from adopting those things democratically. Time will tell.
The United States cannot overtly influence Venezuela's next step. That would surely backfire. But the entire civilized world should hope Venezuela can become a politically stable nation that embraces liberty and ends its troubling ties to Iran, Syria, Cuba and other enemies of freedom. Chavez' tale was not unique. We hope Venezuela can keep it from playing out again.

Jan 27, 2012Un jeu que j'aime particulièrement. Grâce a un amis je l'ai découvert et je me demanderait que ferai je sans ce jeu. Il mérite plus qu'un 10/10 au moins 15/10... =D
Apr 2, 201293 metascore?Seriously93?This does deserve 50-60.No,i don;t care about the graphics,they are supposed to be bad anyway.I care about the gameplay,which is bad.REALLY bad.It gets boring very easily,after 2-3 hours it just becomes generic.Why play this when i have Skyrim to play with?
Feb 8, 2012The reason that this game is so popular is because it seems incredibly fun in the first few hours, first few days, weeks, etc., but the fun doesn't last. You run out of things to do almost immediately, as there is hardly any content besides playing with blocks. A novelty idea, but not a good game.
Feb 10, 2012
Feb 25, 2012SHUT UP ABOUT GRAPHICS. the game is supposed to be that way. my problem is that game is great untill u build a house so now what? the game needs objectives, something to do. it was well thought out at first but quickly fell. i find the game fun when you play others and then skype them but thats just me.
Mar 22, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 25, 2012
Aug 29, 2012I honestly think this game is grossly overrated. It's just an aimless Sandbox, and unless you look up a guide or have friends helping you, you've got no way of knowing what to do. And it's pretty costly, at around $30, you can get Terraria, basically a 2D version of this game on Steam for about 10 dollars.

Jul 1, 2012
Jul 28, 2012its is very boring and uninterseting. I like the idea of being able to do whatever you want and it is a very original idea that strays away from traditional ideas for what a game can be.
Nov 13, 2012This is just a lego game simulator, this "game" is really boring even on multiplayer, and costs 20$, I know that the pixel graphics are "normal" but they are incredibly bad.
Jan 14, 20135sec played, and deleted! BAD game with bad graphic! Also Bad AI( "While this game is fun at first, it quickly loses it's steam" good word bro! Good idea...but... bad(
Mar 29, 2013i have played the game, OH YEA i have played this game. it was fun. FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES. i liked modding and the game overall was pretty decent. till now. almost nothing useful has been added, only some serious useless no body's interested of. and this is an overrated piece of garbage anyway, so i say you mojang and your STUPID, OVER RATED trash. period!
Apr 10, 2013
Mar 21, 2013Biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen. How this got so many buys leaves me very confused. Sucks. Worst thing ever. You play it for an until you have everything and then... you can't do anything. Mods... they all suck.
Apr 29, 2013
Jun 22, 2013Boring game without any interesting updates. We have a promise from Mojang about new Mod API, new animals, adventure mode etc but we didn't get any new features apart from useless horses. It was revolution before, but now Mojang broken their nice game to something which is rubbish and boring.
Sep 29, 2013This game is horrible, let me first start by saying the graphics are just HORRIBLE, and the game is way too overpriced. The only thing you can do in this game is place stupid blocks. Combat is also boring, there are no animatons and the sound effects are horrible. 0 out of 10
Nov 3, 2013(Caution everyone who dislikes this is a 4-10 year old)
Now, where can even start? First of all Graphics are horrible. Second of all gameplay: NONE. 3rd of all the community is 4-10 year olds. SERIOUSLY, OVER 7 MILLION KIDS PLAY MINECRAFT. I could say over a billion bad things about this game. This game deserves a worse score than roblox. -
Oct 18, 2012Who the heck releases a game in it's unfinished state which such hype behind it. I'm not talking about the alpha and beta releases(all of which i played), i'm talking about the 1.0 version of the game.
Jul 20, 2012I'm not enjoying this game. It's nothing against the plot of it (Mining/building) It's just that I don't like the graphics. Large pixels and 3D games aren't my thing. I also don't like the lag that the game gives me. I lag, and I've got a really nice computer.
I don't like it, personally, but I can really see how it appeals to a lot of people! If you are a fan of 3D games, get this! -

Feb 14, 2013minecraft is a fun game to dip into a few times but it lacks the depth of other games for example after 30 minutes of exploring you realise that there is not much to it and i guess after that it just becomes boring
Jul 31, 2013
Jul 31, 2013
Aug 27, 2013The game is HIGHLY overrated. The gameplay is repetitive and not very exciting. The concept of endless building is great, but you can also have the same amount of fun by playing with Legos. Minecraft is loosing respect fast by older fans, and the developers should do something to win them back.
Nov 1, 2013This is the most overrated game I have ever played. It quickly got boring after a while. I swear, this is not where creation games should go. And the fanbase of this game is worse than the fanbase of CoD hating on every person who gives even the smallest disliking to this game. And worst of all, the terrible YouTube channels like SkyDoesMinecraft make this game worse.
Jun 15, 2012
Feb 6, 2012The 1.0 version of the indie phenomena is still obviously unfinished and flawed in many ways, but it's so easy to forget that when you're building your dream castle, exploring scary caves and vast mountain ranges and having a great time in its blocky world.
Jan 30, 2012While Minecraft may not be everybody's cup of tea, I doubt anyone can deny that it's an important step into new territory.
Jan 29, 2012A must-play title - as much a part of videogaming as it is anything else. [Issue#118, p.102]

NIRA Research Output 1990 Vol.3 No.2
Bringing Together Science and Society: A Proposal for a Biohistory
Research HallABSTRACT
This report describes a concrete plan for integrating scientific knowledge within society, by actively involving the general public in scientific research and planning and forging a relationship between humanity, science and nature. This will encourage both participation in and understanding of the technological revolution that has changed the lives of everyone on this planet, and an appreciation for both the dangers and the beauty of science. This beauty has been captured in a new science, "Biohistory", which aims to view humans and nature through their genetic molecules, and which enables researchers to paint both the history of evolutionary relationships and to sketch the future potential. As the centerpiece of the plan, the Biohistory Research Hall will serve numerous functions: as a forum where the public can join researchers; as a gathering place where every person, including artists, business people, policy makers, etc., can discuss science and philosophy of life; as a central organization for expanding networks of interested people from every walk of life; and as a learning setting for children and older students.

Using aircraft grade aluminum alloy, space age polymers and state of the art production techniques you don't just get a typical air rifle, you get a technologically advanced piece of machinery! With outstanding power, accuracy and advanced production techniques, AirForce air rifles will not disappoint. The AirForce Talon is the original AirForce rifle that offers one of the best combination of power, weight and balance available.
The Talon SS uses a 12" barrel and a special muzzle cap that helps stop air turbulence when the pellet leaves the barrel. This makes the shot EXTREMELY quiet compared to other PCP (pre-charge pneumatic) and spring pneumatic rifles. The same German made Lothar Walther barrel is used in the Talon SS, so there is no accuracy being sacrificed at the cost of noise reduction. Some people have reported shooting 2 inch or less groups at 50 yards with this rifle. With it being quiet and such an accurate shot, it makes the Talon SS perfect for urban varmint and pest removal while not upsetting your neighbors because of sound.
Being a PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) rifle, a pump or scuba refilll clamp must be purchased or you will not be able to fire your rifle. No need to worry though! AirForces Scuba Refilll Clamp with Gauge is included in the package. This allows you to take your air canister to any Scuba shop to get it refillled or if you own your own tank refilll it yourself. You will want to make sure though that you are using a K-valve 3000psi or 200bar rated tank or higher to fully charge the canister.
This combination kit, straight from AirForce, includes an Airforce 4-16x50 scope with AirForce 1" high profile, see through scope mounts. The AirForce 4-16x50 scope is a high definition, variable power from 4 to 16 magnification, fully coated, glass lense scope with maximum light transmission. It also features target knobs with crisp quarter-minute clicks, an adjustable objective lens, mil-dot reticles and heavy construction or on PCP and spring-pneumatic air rifles.
The Talon has many other highlights, like the easily adjustable power reel that is located on the barrel, a two-stage adjustable trigger and automatic safety as well as the ergonomic feel and overall light weight.
Don't forget to pick up a scope or standard optic sights for this rifle or other AirForce accessories because they are not included with this package. It is also recommended to pick up a gun case and .22 caliber maintenance kit of your choice to keep your rifle in excellent condition.

Movie Night – Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows
One generation had Star Wars. One had Back To The Future. This generation has Wizards & Sparkly vampires. Last night marked the beginning of the end of an era for some. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 made it's debut on screens across the country at 12:01 a.m. and Augusta was no exception. 8 Movies based around 7 books have made their way to the theaters, some in 3D and IMAX. I took a little bit of my time yesterday to go check out the lines at the Regal Augusta Exchange 20 & IMAX to talk to some of the die hard fans of the series. What I found was much more than simple "fans". We're talking devotion. When I arrived at 10 a.m., the line had long since began. There were people waiting in line from as early as 4:45 a.m., another fan brought a tent, a few jelly bean incidents, and a very loyal brother that was holding his sisters place in line (and he wasn't even there to watch the movie himself).
Another thing that made me smile was the fact that there were people that had never met that ended up being great friends while they waited. Something that I absolutely love is how there was absolutely ZERO animosity in the crowd. Everyone was getting along. With so much bickering going on in the news, it's a breath of fresh air seeing people coming together (even if it's over something trivial like a movie) and actually having a good time!
I also need to make a note and give HUGE cudos to the Regal staff. They handled everything LIKE A BOSS! Professional, fun, and enjoyable to be around. That is exactly what movie goers need. If you're an employee at a theater and you're reading this. Be happy. It'll make the experience FAR more enjoyable for yourself, and the movie goers alike. Check out some images from the frenzy!

Caetano Veloso to Be Celebrated As 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year
Caetano Veloso, an eight-time Latin Grammy winner and two-time Grammy winner, will be celebrated as the 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year on November 14 in Las Vegas. Songs from Veloso's catalog will be performed by an array of artists and friends of the honoree. A portion of the net proceeds from the gala will benefit Veloso's chosen charity, Fundación Viva Cazuza in Brazil—a not-for-profit HIV prevention and treatment organization for children and young people—as well as The Latin Recording Academy's outreach and education programs. The celebration will precede the XIII Annual Latin Grammy Awards, which will take place on November 15.
About this Album
In the spring of 2004, Caetano Veloso curated a week of special concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall as one of its prestigious Perspectives artists. As part of the series, he invited his longtime friend and collaborator David Byrne to join him for an evening in Isaac Stern Auditorium. The concert was recorded for broadcast on NPR and now will be released by Nonesuch as Caetano Veloso and David Byrne: Live at Carnegie Hall on March 13, 2012. The singer/guitarists each performed an acoustic set of their own songs, joined by cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and percussionist Mauro Refosco, and also performed together.
"When I got the invitation to curate a program for Carnegie Hall's Perspectives … the one American artist I was sure I wanted to invite was David Byrne," Veloso recounts. "I met David in the 1980s … [He] impressed me by showing a very lively ear to whatever was on Brazilian radio. From our first conversation I noticed David was the first rock musician who could really feel the essence of Brazilian music … When I had to go on stage with him, I was not nervous, but I was very shy. You've got to be Brazilian (or something of the like) to know how awesome (I mean AWEsome) it is to sing side by side with David Byrne."
Byrne says of his admiration for Veloso, "I'd been a Caetano fan since the late '80s, when I'd fallen headlong down the rabbit hole of Brazilian music. If I had to name some musicians to whom I would look as a guide to what is possible—those musicians who have managed to sustain a creative and interesting life in music—Caetano would be among the top few." Of the 2004 concert, he continues, "I was incredibly nervous, and I remember having flubbed on a chord or two (some of those remain on this recording, I'm afraid) … but of course it was Caetano, and Carnegie Hall, so I was also incredibly thrilled and flattered."
Caetano Veloso is among the most influential and beloved artists to emerge from Brazil, where he began his musical career in the 1960s. He has nearly 40 recordings to his credit, including 13 on Nonesuch—the most recent of which is 2010's zii e zie. Absorbing musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles, concrete poetry, the French Dadaists, and the Brazilian modernist poets of the 1920s, Veloso—together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, his sister Maria Bethania, and a number of other poets and intellectuals—founded a movement, called Tropicalismo, that permanently altered the course of his country's popular music.
David Byrne, known as the force behind the enormously popular Talking Heads (1976–88), complements his two-plus decade solo career with work as a photographer, designer, film director, and author. Byrne's Nonesuch releases include Grown Backwards (2004), reissues of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (2006) and The Knee Plays (2007), and Here Lies Love (2010), a song cycle he wrote with Fatboy Slim about the life of former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos and her childhood servant, Estrella Cumpas. Byrne's most recent book, Bicycle Diaries (Viking, 2009), chronicles his observations and insights—what he is seeing, whom he is meeting, what he is thinking about—as he pedals through and engages with some of the world's major cities.

Tories to support legislation regarding Ontario teachers
Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Education, Politics
It appears the minority Liberals' controversial legislation that will force new contracts on thousands of Ontario teachers will become law. Opposition Leader Tim Hudak says his Tories will support initiatives that agree with the party's policy of legislating wage public wage freezes. The legislation aims to rein in wages and cut benefits, such as halving sick days to 10 a year, as well as banning lockouts and strikes. Three unions have accepted the agreement, but three others representing 191-thousand workers are vowing to fight the bill.
