GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Hands down, best school ever! They have an amazing staff! Mrs. Ryan is a very educated woman with many talents when she is not doing all te behind the sence work she is involved in her students everyday actives and Academic performance she make sure all he staff and students have what they need to teacher and learn . I feel like at Dillon my chirldern are not only safe and comfortable but are at a place when they are being taught to achieve greatness!
Check out the test scores, and tell me you would feel comfortable putting your child's future here? Yikes! Far below the state average, which is not something to cheer about to begin with. I removed my child from this school after two months. Zero remediation or attention was given to his learning needs. Empower yourselves, you have a choice. You are your child's only advocate. Say what you want about focusing on test scores, if your child doesn't even test average their trajectory is quite limited.
My daughter has had a wonderful experience with the caring and supportive staff. Mrs. Ryan seems to know all of the students names and greets my daughter each day. Great school, totally recommend it to anyone who cares for their kids school.
I like the teachers and staff however, I don't think they know what they are doing when it comes to students with learning disabilities. I do not think Mrs. Ryan is the right person for the job, there really is no leadership there and when I have been there I do not feel the staff works as a team to make sure that the children are striving, I have also heard from other parents that this school is not where any children with learning disabilities/developmental should go. I have found that they (Mrs. Ryan can be very out of line when it comes to things that are not her business and the office staff to be quite nosey as well. I will however say that Mrs. Adams tries very hard and is very down to earth and realistic about where she thinks your child stands.
Not a very good school from what I have seen and heard when picking up my nephew.
Fire Mrs. Ryan and the school may have a chance. All Dillon staff are hard workers and care about the needs of each individual student, they need a leader who shares those same principles not a principal with a laxidasical work ethic
Dillon Elementary has a very nurturing and supportive environment. My kindergartner felt comfortable and immediately welcomed into the school. I had many apprehensions about my daughter's ability to be academically successful and make friends. I found the teachers to be wonderful. My daughter's teacher communicated to parents frequently and my daughter came home each day excited to tell about her day. I found that the overall school environment was very welcoming from the first time I entered the building. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Mrs. Ryan is a great principal who really seems to connect with students and their families. She was available to meet with me on any concern I had, even before my daughter started her first day. Her interactions with parents, students, and teachers set a positive tone for the building. She seems to really enjoy her job and always has a positive attitude.
Horrible school, principal is on a power trip!!! Going down hill since my kid started there!
This is the first school that seems to not have any BEHAVIOR problems with my 6 year old. On top of that, My special needs 5 year old has for the FIRST TIME in her life been learning!!! She was considered autistic and/ or mentally delayed due to being in school/ school settings/ preschool. for three years and never even learning how to recognize letters, write her name, idenitfy numbers... etc. This year she is able to point to letters and identify them, sound out small words.... write numbers, count, write her name, write out words and even started counting money!! IM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS SCHOOL. They take the time to identify the students individual needs and ENCOURAGE A GREAT ATTITUDE . My kids in return are better behaved and have taken that great bucket filling attitude and brought it home. Sadly we will be moving home next year, but this school wont be forgotten~ GREATLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO
this school has gone way down hill i hatw that i have 1 grandchild there next year it will be 2 short of lwtting my home go into foreclosure i see no way out of the area mrs.ryan trys very hard but the staff and office help are horrible they know nothing about taking care of any child with special needs the whole system is a joke. i might be checking into charter schools my tax money isnt very well spent
One of the best elementary schools! Caring teachers, warm atmosphere, excellent afer-school activities!
This is our family's second year at Dillon and we love it here! The staff and teachers are friendly and welcoming. My oldest daughter is ADHD/ODD/Bipolar and I've never seen a school so willing to work with the child and family on the problems that can develop! Awesome after-school programs and Parent Club, too!

To make the installation process easier, we punched the required holes for fill welding before attaching the metal to the car. There may be some folks out there that will write in and tell us we punched too many holes in the lip that shows in the photo, but we're not going for a perfect resto. If you don't have a hole punch, a drill bit will work just as well . . . it just takes a little longer.

I just got Acer Aspire V3 771G, it has W8 installed and as usual, alot of crap bundled. Can I use the retail Windows 8 disc to do a clean install and use the product key that came with the laptop?
Also there is no serial sticker on the bottom of new laptops nowadays, where do they put it?
Posted 02 January 2013 - 12:27
You can use the product key that came with your laptop provided that it is a Windows 8 product key. Not sure how to check but I would just give it a try. It should be at the bottom of your laptop. I have Acer Aspire v3-571G and I didn't get any Windows 8 product key. However, I applied for £14.99 upgrade offer which allowed me to upgrade from Windows 7 pro to Windows 8 pro for that price.
I am not sure if you will be having the driver issues after the upgrade but I had them all. Yeah, I had issues with wifi and nVidia drivers so as a precautionary measure, make sure you have an ethernet cable, You can then download Windows 8 drivers from here http://support.acer....ct/default.aspx.

Now completely over his ankle injury from earlier this month, the Toronto Raptors' Amir Johnson is back starting and putting up some extremely relevant fantasy lines.
In today's edition of "All Wired Up", I'll delve into the fantasy strengths of potential waiver wire gold like Johnson and the Milwaukee Bucks' O.J. Mayo.
» Amir Johnson, PF/C, Toronto Raptors (47.4 percent owned on ESPN.com)
16 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 FT), 1 three-pointer, 9 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 1 turnover vs Wizards.
Sometimes, players north of the border don't quite get the level of recognition they deserve. That's happened this season with Amir Johnson of the Toronto Raptors.
Firmly ensconced with the top 100 of Basketball Monster.com's rankings, Johnson deserves to be owned in a much bigger percentage of leagues than currently is the case.
There was a stage when Patrick Patterson, who replaced Johnson as the starter when he missed games with a sprained ankle, was putting up some nice lines. A lot of people, yours truly included, wondered out loud whether the Raps would be better served by starting Pat-Pat.
But Dwayne Casey stuck with his game plan and re-inserted Johnson as his starting power forward. Since then, Johnson has been really productive from a fantasy perspective.
In those four games, Johnson has averaged 10.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 50 percent from the field. He's also been able to add a three-point shot to his game this season, hitting 0.3 per game up from 0.1 last season.
Johnson is a not a volume scorer by any means, and his main strength lies in his ability to grab boards and block shots, but his contribution in the points category can be quite handy.
Perhaps somewhat shockingly, Johnson has been the better fantasy basketball player than his more highly touted teammate, Jonas Valanciunas.
While Valanciunas has struggled (ranked 171st on Basketball Monster.com), Johnson has been very consistent and is a very reliable guy to have on your fantasy roster. I think he should be owned in leagues, particularly if his strengths match up with your team's needs.

Debate continues: will small jets overburden FAA resources?
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Transportation Department Inspector General are questioning whether the FAA's safety inspectors and air traffic controllers will be able to cope with the introduction of very light jets (VLJ) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
In testimony before the House aviation subcommittee, Todd Zinser, acting inspector general of the DOT, told lawmakers that VLJ manufacturers expect their aircraft to find a niche among a variety of corporate and private owners and on-demand air-taxi operators. The FAA predicts that approximately 5,000 VLJs will be vying for airspace by 2017, he said, flying in the same skies as passenger aircraft operated by the airlines.
"VLJs could also lead to an influx of a new class of pilots, possibly resulting in human-factors issues," warned Zinser. "The pilots of these aircraft are expected to come from general and corporate aviation, air-taxi operations and private ownership. The potential mix of pilot experience levels will demand a new standard in flight training."
He added that VLJs could have an effect on the workloads of FAA inspectors and air traffic controllers, which he described as challenges that the FAA must prepare to address.
Gerald Dillingham, GAO director of physical infrastructure issues, said some manufacturers are even more optimistic than the FAA about the number of VLJs that will be manufactured. They predict there may be as many as 10,000 VLJs operating in the National Airspace System (NAS) by 2020.
"If this sector expands as quickly as expected, FAA inspectors could face workload challenges to expeditiously issue and monitor certificates," he told the aviation panel. "In addition, air traffic controllers could face the challenge of further congested airspace, especially at and near smaller airports, where VLJs are expected to be prevalent because of their smaller size and shorter runway requirements."
UAVs Prompt Safety Concerns
Dillingham and Zinser also cautioned about the increasing use of UAVs. Last year the FAA issued 50 certificates to operate UAVs. By June this year, the agency had issued another 55.
"While historically UAVs have been used primarily by the Department of Defense in military settings outside the United States," Dillingham testified, "there is a growing demand to operate UAVs domestically in the [NAS]."
Federal agencies such as the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local law enforcement agencies are interested in UAVs for border security, search-and-rescue, firefighting and other homeland security initiatives.
Aircraft operated by a government agency are considered "public aircraft" and the certification and oversight of those aircraft is the responsibility of the applicable federal agency, not the FAA. These public operations are, however, required to comply with certain FAA regulations, especially those that ensure that the operation of these aircraft does not compromise the safety of the NAS.
Last April a CBP Predator, a drone as large as some commuter aircraft, crashed in Arizona, reportedly within several hundred feet of homes. According to preliminary incident reports, the ground operator used the wrong procedures and accidentally shut off the drone's engine.

Head Honcho October 12, 2008
Reviewer: Bond
I have just recently bought the Sue Johanson Head Honcho. Overall it was a pleasurable experience. The toy is about 6 inches long, and feels quite comfortable around the penis. I do have to say that the piece does have some flaws. Number one thing is the suction chambers in the device, makes it quite an interesting clean up. Since your load gets trapped in the upper layer. And, well, you have to kind of milk it out. Second, I feel the toy would be better if it was not such a smooth surface inside. Maybe, some pleasure bumps. Overall though, for the price you really cannot go wrong with the Head Honcho.

1995 GMC Sierra 2500 2 Dr K2500 SL 4WD Standard Cab LB Review
Good all around canadian built truck
Reversing to engage four by four
Gmc Sierra Slt Turbo Diesel 3/4 Ton — Its a ass kicker in the mud and offroad. Its acceleration is downed due to the overall weight of the truck, but it has the turbo that kicks in at three thousand rpm. Has alot of clearence for those tricky areas of the mud and snow. Overall build is awesome cause its an older model truck with little to no fiberglass. Outside is custom fins and wings and decals. I get about 28 miles to the gallon on this truck and it is absolutely awesome to drive long distances with.

I can hear the soft breathing
Of the girl that I love,
As she lies here beside me
Asleep with the night,
And her hair, in a fine mist
Floats on my pillow,
Reflecting the glow
Of the winter moonlight.

Elections: State of Minnesota
The elections in November 2012 resulted in the Democrats (DFL Party) winning majority in the Minnesota Senate and Minnesota House. This means the DFL Party determines the legislative committees for each body and assigns the chairperson for each committee.
Legislative committees influence what bills get heard and ultimately voted on at the Minnesota Legislature.
To find out who specifically won each seat in the MN Senate and MN House as well as the Congressional Races for Minnesota, go to:
NOTE: The Governor in Minnesota (Governor Mark Dayton) is also from the DFL Party.
Redistricting: Minnesota
Every ten years following the Census, political districts are redrawn to ensure fair representation based on the new population of each district. Links below show the new political districts and offer further explanation:
Election information and commentary
There is no shortage of articles or commentaries on the 2012 election:
MN Voting Record: Humane Scorecard
To find out more about how Minnesota legislators vote on animal issues, go to Minnesota Voters for Animal Protection (MVAP). MVAP is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, local organization that has compiled a Minnesota Humane Scorecard to assess how Minnesota legislators vote on animal issues.

It was once believed that New York Giants veteran middle linebacker Jon Beason would need surgery on a torn ligament and broken bone in his foot after injuring it at practice last week, and his timetable for a return was set at 12 weeks, which would likely cause him to miss the beginning of the season. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin has unsurprisingly given no concrete information, but we have received a key update from the Giants official site.
While it doesn't look like that rough three-month timetable will change for Beason, the good news is that the injury-prone 29-year-old (he played in just five combined games in the 2011 and 2012 seasons for the Carolina Panthers before playing in 15 last season after being traded during the year to the Giants) will not need surgery this offseason.
Per the Giants, Beason does indeed have a small fracture to his sesamoid in his right foot and a ligament tear, but the famed Dr. Robert Anderson looked over everything and decided that surgery isn't necessary. We'll see how Beason progresses in his recovery, and he'll be in a cast or walking boot for six weeks.
Beason said, "My visit with Dr. Anderson went as well as it could have yesterday. I'm happy that it was determined that I will be able to recover without surgery. My plan is to work as hard as I can during my rehab so I can be fully recovered around the start of the regular season opener on Monday night in Detroit."
Last season, Beason had 104 tackles and was an instant difference-maker on the Giants defense due to the upgrade he presented, his ability to rack up tackles all over the field, and his excellent leadership ability. His intangibles were the real boost for the Giants, because he has lost a few steps from his days of stardom due to injuries.

I got this bracelet for myself, Im very pleased with it. It shines so beautifully, very lightweight thin and flexible. Will go with anything. Came in great condition and fast. Some view this to be thin cheap trash. Most who know about silver knows. Darker heavier silver is not as good due to is has more nickel than silver. This is thin lightweight for flexibility. This is a great buy and at this price wonderful. Don't pass on it.
I wear this bracelet alot! It is very simple and goes w/ so many things. It has a safety lock on it which keeps it secure. It was a great deal!
This is NOT a true flex bangle....just a very, very thin bangle. It is dented and I've only worn it once!
I was very disappointed with this bracelet... I wore it for a week and it crumbled like a piece of paper. I would not recommend this product.
This is a nice bracelet for the price, especially if you work in a job where you are constantly banging your jewelery.
I bought 2 of these bracelets to wear with other bracelets. I really like these flex bracelets; although I did think the whole bracelet would be flexible links, as others I have purchased in the past. These are hard like a bangle, but are flexible...which is why I guess that they are thinner than I thought they would be. All in all I am very happy with my purchase for the price. I think the only thing was my perception of how these would look. I would recommend them to others.
Bracelet has safety catch (this was the reason for the purchase)~latch does not work, thinly and poorly constructed, hinge is off. Do not waste your money

of historical interest ... where are they now?
These are all companies and links that have recently closed or disappeared. If you would like a longer historical perspective, there's a link to RVAdvice.com on the vintage truck camping americana page or you can read about classic UK demountables.
• articacamper.com - Originally from Italy, Artica Carcamper specialize exclusively in demountables. Comprehensive details of options and weights. English language site available. (One of Germany's biggest demountable manufacturers, Artica's website has disappeared and a Google search for 'artica' or 'artica camper' draws a blank - last checked 07/12/12)
• cargobody.com - [M] Neat and compact but perhaps a little spartan, the camper version of Cargobody's pickup box. (The website has disappeared and a Google search for 'cargobody' draws a blank - last checked 02/11/12)
• driftaway.com.au - [M] Driftaway produce one model of demountable (they call it a 'glide-on'), the Pardalote, among their range of trailer caravans. Designed for a flat-bed it also has a rising roof. (The Driftaway website now makes no mention of the Pardalote, or of any other model of demountable camper - last checked 21/11/09)
• East Anglian Horsebox Co. - a specialist manufacturer and converter of horseboxes but they also supply a fairly comprehensive range of coachbuilding materials by mail order. (A sad way to start the New Year, East Anglian Horsebox Co. went into liquidation on the first of January 2013 - last checked 11/01/13)
• nomadcamper.co.uk - Nomad, who currently just sell Truck Tents for pickup beds and awnings for demountables, are planning a move into full demountable camper manufacture in the spring/summer of 2012. A website to watch for future developments. (Or not! The new demountable never materialised and now the website has disappeared as well - last checked 19/09/12)
• nordic-husbilar.se - [M] Nordic make a large range of motorcaravans including one demountable, the Nordic Camper. (Or at least they used to. They still make a large range of motorcaravans but sadly it no longer includes a demountable - last checked 27/11/10)
• nsr-leisure.co.uk
- [I] Importer of the Easy Camper range from
Sweden, badged as Leisure Camper. (Site
unavailable - with so few demountable manufacturers and importers in
the UK it's particularly sad to note the demise of one of them but NSR
Leisure appears to have become a victim of the difficult financial
times - last checked
• piggyback.com.au - Piggy Back Campers manufacture a range of backs and accessories for flat-bed pickup trucks (I don't know what's happened to Piggyback Campers; their website has just disappeared - last checked 05/05/13).
• polarvagnen.com - Website of Polar Caravans who manufacture a range of trailer caravans and two demountables - the 'Nanoq' and 'Miki'. The striking resemblance to models in the Easy Camper range is not coincidental. They are all made by S.Karosser AB. (It seems Polar have finally withdrawn from the demountable market. Having dabbled in it for a few years, they appear now to be concentrating exclusively on caravans and motorhomes - last checked 19/01/14).
• polycomposit.com - [M] The Polycomposit company produce the LogeMobile range of demountables and expedition vehicles. Their brochure (downloadable in pdf format) offers an enormous variety of layouts. (Sadly the 'credit crunch' continues to find its victims among demountable manufacturers. Polycomposit, the glass-fibre fabrication company that produced the highly-regarded LogeMobile range has gone into administration - last checked
Update - 18/03/2011 - "LogeMobile is dead, long live LogeMobile!" The same models have emerged under a new name - see 'rbmobile.fr' on the European manufacturers page.
• proactiv4x4.de - ProActiv are primarily manufacturers of expedition vehicles but include demountables within their range. (ProActiv appear to have moved out of the expedition vehicle market altogether and now just offer a range of services for commercial vehicles, e.g. lining, racking etc. - last checked 05/05/13)
• rangermotorhomes.co.uk - Rochdale-based Ranger Motorhomes manufacture campers and motorcaravans of many different kinds including their well-established Ranger demountable. Sold until recently through an agent the Ranger is now available directly from the manufacturers and can be bought 'off-the-peg' or built to order. (It's only a matter of weeks since Ranger announced the availability of a 4x4 coachbuilt for hire in the 2013 season but they seem to have gone out of business before even getting there! They have disappeared and then re-emerged before though so, with luck, the UK-based brand may be back - last checked 08/02/13)
• rbmobile.fr - LogeMobile is back but isn't called LogeMobile any more and isn't made by Polycomposit. Despite that, RB Mobile's models go by exactly the same names as the LogeMobile originals, i.e. 'Mangue' and 'Dynamis', and appear to be identical to them. A welcome return! (What goes around comes around! RB Mobile's brave attempt to maintain production has been short-lived sadly (see 'polycomposit.com' above). The company went into liquidation in July 2013 - last checked 12/01/14)
• roboafzetunits.nl - [M][I] Manufacturer of Robo Adventure demountables. They also import the Easy Camper range (badged as Nordstar) from Sweden. (Site appears to load but simply consists of a blank, pale blue page - last checked 12/02/09)
• Sidewaulk Camper Hire - Sidewaulk hire out motorhomes and caravans. They also used to hire out demountable campers and pickups, as is reflected in their company logo. From the website it would seem that perhaps they no longer do so but it may be worth asking. (I did, they don't - last checked 06/01/13)
• six-pac.com - [M] Another Californian producer, with a five-model range plus a 'shell-only' option for those with DIY skills. (It's now over a year since Six-Pac first posted a message on its site saying production was temporarily suspended. It seems as though it may have become a permanent state of affairs - last checked 07/12/12)
• snowrivercamper.com - [M] Site of Interior RV Products, manufacturer of SnowRiver and SnowBird campers. (Site unavailable - last checked 11/02/09)
• starcraftrv.com - Pine Mountain truck campers built by Starcraft RV. (Starcraft RV are still in business but are no longer producing truck campers - last checked 28/12/12)
• sunvalleyinc.com - [M] A slightly confusing site (not updated since 2003 so may not be current) for Sun-Lite and Apache campers. (Site unavailable - last checked 12/02/09)
• toppola.com - Has to be seen to be believed - manufacturer of a demountable camper for Saab hatchback cars! They also make a version for pickups. (Toppola actually suspended production back in 2006 but maintained their website, and the possibility of further production, until recently. Now the website's gone as well although the words "temporarily disabled" suggest, once again, the possibility of a return - last checked 06/02/14)
• wrv.com - [M] Western Recreational Vehicles, manufacturer of Alpenlite truck campers. (Message on site simply reads "Western Recreational Vehicles is currently closed" - last checked 12/02/09)
TOP of the page
The page!
These are links that I've moved from other pages, mostly because they have recently gone dead, presumably because the company or organisation has quit or gone bust. Of course, it may just be that they've shifted their website but, if that is the case, I've not been able to find the new location. I'm reluctant to remove them altogether until I'm sure, so if you're aware of what has happened to them, please let me know.

Occupy Wall Street News Update of the Day: Following a weekend a crackdowns against Occupy encampments around the country, the "beautification" of Zuccotti Park — the movement's flagship tent city — began around 1 o'clock this morning, when hundreds of NYPD officers in riot gear descended on sleepy protesters.
The action began following a tweet from Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office telling the "occupants of Zuccotti" that they must leave the park and take their tents and tarps with them. The announcement claimed protesters would be allowed to return "after the Park is cleared."
It was made explicit, however, that tents and sleeping equipment would not be allowed back in, which would mean the effective end of the two-month-long occupation.
Many protesters "left peacefully," according to NYCLU, but others stayed behind and barricade themselves inside the park. At least 70 people were arrested, including a freelance NPR reporter, journalist Jared Malsin, an AFP photographer, and city council member Ydanis Rodriguez.
Mother Jones staff writer Josh Harkinson is believed to be the only journalist who made it into the park; others were kept out by force, even roughed up. Occupy Wall Street librarians reported that the NYPD trashed the entire OWS library, which included over 5,500 books.
Bloomberg released a statement this morning following the park's "sanitation," saying that, due to the number of tents and tarps, it became difficult to ensure public safety, making the eviction necessary. Additionally, the park was increasingly attracting law-breaker who sought to harm others, Bloomberg alleges.
"Some have argued to allow the protesters to stay in the park indefinitely," the statement continues, "others have suggested we just wait for winter and hope the cold weather drove the protesters away - but inaction was not an option. I could not wait for someone in the park to get killed or to injure another first responder before acting."
The statement concludes with a "reminder" to protesters that "[n]o right is absolute and with every right comes responsibilities." The tent city era of the occupation is over, says Bloomberg — "[n]ow [protesters] will have to occupy the space with the power of their arguments."
Despite Mayor Bloomberg's denouement, the movement is far from finished: Justice Lucy Billings issued a temporary restraining order at 6:30 AM this morning allowing the protesters to return to Zuccotti with their tents. Bloomberg was served the order via fax, but took no immediate action.
Protesters attempted to reclaim the park around 10:30, but were stopped by police and security guards who claimed that a "maintenance issue" was preventing the park from being reopened. Arrests have been reported.
An hearing is scheduled to allow the city to show just cause for this morning's action. Several protesters have already moved on to new sites, including Foley Square and Trinity Church's Duarte Park.
Some, including Ezra Klein and Adbusters — the Canadian magazine that catalyzed the movement — have suggested that Occupy Wall Street may have been handed an exit strategy by the city that will allow it to temporarily bow out with its dignity in tact.
Meanwhile, in Oakland, the fallout from yesterday's raid on the local Occupy encampment continued as co-Deputy Mayor Sharon Cornu followed in chief legal adviser Dan Siegel's footsteps and resigned. Evicted Occupy Oakland protesters plan to hitch their demonstration wagon to Occupy Cal.
Back to Occupy Wall Street, where a "Day of Mass Action" is planed for Thursday. Watch a livefeed from the ground, below:

This is a soup my mother fixed often when I was a child. It's not easy to find oxtails but the search is definitely worth it. I had a friend once who bought a side of beef and was going to throw away the tail. I snatched them out of her hand and hugging them to my chest, ran home and made oxtail soup. I brought her a bowl and after much hesitation she tried it. That was the last time she gave me these choice bones.

White Bread Black Beer - Scritti Politti
- Band Name: Scritti Politti
- Record Label: Nonesuch / Rough Trade
- Release Date: Jul 25, 2006
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
With its laptop beats and closely mic'd intimacy, White Bread, Black Beer conforms to the dictates of a creator with endless time to play all the instruments and no one to please but himself, regrettably.
Rarely have Pro Tools and a melancholy disposition fallen into such capable hands.
I'm beginning to think it's one of the smartest records-- musically and lyrically-- we'll hear all year.
The songs, as far as the writing goes, are routinely terrific; however, the ones that rely most on convenient synthesized elements are a bit dainty and rudimentary and deserve to be made without the limitations of a home studio.
The pristine, synth-heavy result certainly sounds worried over, sometimes to its detriment. [28 Jul 2006, p.67]
Even the ticking percussion and trilling synths can't hide the sheer melodic oddness of Gartside's songs. [3 Jun 2006, p.35]
Over girl-group incantations, reggae lilt and courageously dinky old-school hip-hop allusions, Gartside searches for his emotional car keys, each comely coo abstracting him further from the truth he seeks. [Aug 2006, p.117]
Features some of his most beautiful, introverted and delicate tunes yet. [24 Aug 2006, p.94]
Occasionally there's a little too much going on... Overall, though, Gartside remains intriguing. [Jul 2006, p.116]
Despite White Bread Black Beer's undeniable beauty, it feels largely out of place as a product of the contemporary spectrum of music.

Oct 30, 2011Just discovered this album by chance about 2 months ago. I was a fan of the 80's scritti politti and this is definitely not cupid & psyche or provision. The first few times I listened to this I did not really get it. But when I finally got onto the same wavelength as Gartside, I was able to appreciate the pure GENIUS of this album. It is actually some of the best music I've heard in years!! "Favorite" track - "Locked" although it's all good. Absolutely beautiful, soothing, intelligent music, great vocals...PURE GENIUS. Cannot stop listening to this.… Full Review »

Dirk Boelman
Hi, Dirk Boelman here, doing a little reflecting...Nineteen years ago I drew my very first scroll saw pattern, and sawed out my very first project! I am sure that many of you can remember those patterns with the thick black lines that you were supposed to cut on, and the woodgraining drawn to help distinguish the solid areas from the cutouts. (Patterns really have come a long way!) My first scroll-sawn project looked just like everybody else's. It was kind of rough around the edges and definitely was not my smoothest sawing... but it was good enough to get me "hooked" on scroll sawing!
2006 marks the 11th year that I have been contributing projects to Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine. I am very proud to be a part of this magazine.
Also, we will again co-host the Midwest Scroll Saw Trade Show in Ricland Center, Wisconsin this August. I always look forward to visiting with all of you at the shows and I greatly enjoy your emails and letters. Please keep sending pictures of your projects and sharing you wonderful stories. Keep on makin' sawdust!
Wes Demarest
If there is anything that defines what my purpose is in this magazine, it is that I want to inspire you, the reader, to look beyond the pattern. Get a sense of how the movement is flowing and wait until you find "the" piece of wood that will best bring it to life rather than settling for what you have on hand just so you can get started. You may not consider yourself an artist, but that is all that art is about—looking beyond the obvious and developing your own sense of expression. Don't limit yourself to just scrolling. Consider different methods for displaying your work, try other finishing methods, add accents whether turned, carved or whatever—just think beyond the pattern.
John Polhemus
I especially enjoy seeing pictures showing adaptations of projects I've done. Bob Malito sent me a picture of an idea his wife had using my floral arrangement as a napkin holder. I like her idea better than the way I presented it in my article! I continue to learn things from the magazine's readers and hear from some that they also have learned from me. To me, it doesn't get any better than that!
Jeff Zaffino
Hello, folks and welcome to the April '06 issue of Creative Woodworks and Crafts. I know that, for me personally, being involved with the magazine has been a tremendously rewarding, albeit quite challenging endeavor. My rewards have come through the wonderful people I have gotten to know and befriend since I started creating pieces for the magazine. Being involved with the magazine has given me an incredibly large extended family, and I am honored to be a part of it.
The challenges come from finding ways to challenge the very talented group of readers that the magazine is fortunate enough to have. While your talents and abilities impress and humble me, they also keep me awake at night trying to come up with something else to throw at you that will challenge you! In doing that, I have also challenged myself to take my designs and scrolling to a new level. I hope that completing the projects I have designed for the magazine has helped some of you to achieve similar results.
For those of you who follow my articles, you know that this last year has been one full of changes for me and my scrolling. It looks like the upcoming year will be no exception, because my wife Kristina and I are expecting our second child in June! I look forward to sharing it with you all. Until next time, keep the dust flowing and the smile showing!

rare books and maps at the lumina pandit exhibit
Only a Saturday with the Flips Flipping Pages can be this illuminating. A week ago, eight Flippers paid the Lumina Pandit Exhibit at the University of Santo Tomas a visit. Organized by Professor GnP, it was a very memorable activity.
Here is my recap:
The exhibition commemorates the survival of a 400-year-old institution, the UST Library. Showcased are the original academic records of Jose Rizal, documents with baybayin script, 100-year-old newspapers, and rare tomes. My favorite is a book of maps. Maps tell much about how people saw the world; back then, the Philippines was a land of legends.
The oldest book is an incunabula by a Jewish historian and translated into Spanish. Josefo Flavio's La Guerra Judaica was printed in 1492 and recounted the Jewish wars with the Romans. Other books in the collection include a 16th-century, first edition tome penned by Nicholas Copernicus and 400-year-old Plantin Polyglot Bible.
The Bible is quite famous and possibly the most valuable of UST's treasures. It is in Hebrew, Syrian, Aramaic, Greek and Latin. I can easily imagine a Dan Brown story taking form in the University Halls. The books when not on exhibit are kept at the archives, where only librarians and scholars may enter.
Easily the highlight of our tour was a demonstration of a xylographic printing. I applied ink on a carved wooden board called a woodcut template. By means of a replica of a primitive printing press I then transferred the design onto paper (actually the guides did; I just loved the sound of my first thought better.) My souvenir imprint was coveted by the others. I'll give it to Kwesi because he's the youngest and sweetest Flipper.
Lumina Pandit is Latin for "to spread the light." The university seeks to illustrate through the exhibit how across four centuries it has spread the light of civilization to the Orient. Divided into six sections signifying eras of enlightenment in the Orient, the exhibit hall is surprisingly compact but holds a wealth of relics. I suggest that other Flippers take a guided tour (No entrance fee. Donations are welcome) and return to the beginning of the exhibit for a lingering appreciation of our cultural treasures.
More guards should have tailed us. Didn't they know we were a book club? And they let us loose among rare books!
Exhibit is open until January 30, 2011 at the ground floor of the Miguel de Benavides Library. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 8am-5pm. Call (632) 731 3034 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for details.
Not satisfied with the oldest library, we segued into the oldest museum before lunch at a Thai restaurant near UST. At the Museum of Science and the Arts we got an eyeful of stuffed animals, animal fossils, religious artifacts, coins, medals, and school memorabilia. Mike proudly pointed out at a goblet used by senior wizards to vote for wizardry apprentices into becoming full-fledged wizards… Wait, I segued into something else entirely.

Thanks to Gege and Rhett for the photos.

grave witch – an alex craft novel by kalayna price
Grave witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, but that doesn't mean she likes what they say.
Like in several other urban fantasy fictions I have read, Grave Witch uses the literary device of a society transformed by the coming-out of paranormals or, in this case, the fae. Magic was awakened in the world, allowing some humans to better understand and practice it. There are the usual spell casters who can create charms ranging from homing origami messages to complexion charms. One of the rarest forms of ability was communicating with the dead, called grave witchcraft.
Alex, a talented grave witch, is hoping to get a break by helping the police solve cases and DA get convictions through the shades she calls up. A favor for a sister gets her into more than she can chew. She gets attacked by a shade and then shot at. Death saves her, pushing Alex out of the way. That she has been seeing and talking with a soul collector since childhood is another of Alex's idiosyncrasies. A detective who is more than he seems starts tailing her, suspecting she knows more than she lets on. Which is true.
After Queen of Shadows, Grave Witch is a treat. I love the love triangle formed between Alex, Death, and detective. The relationship between Alex and Death reminds me of Tanya Huff's The Last Wizard, where Crystal and Death form a rare friendship; they can never touch and he can never claim her, as wizards' souls are off-limits to him. The detective may seem at a disadvantage, in terms of mystique. I thought so, but not for long (read to find out why). I don't know who I'm rooting for actually.
There are shades of the Greywalker series here, too, in how both heroines can interact with different levels of reality, from the physical to the ghost world. Very Twilight Zone. That sort of stuff always appeals to me.
I can do with fewer interrupted dialogue, though; it's a literary device that's more irritating than intriguing. There must have been over a dozen examples where the character go, "I've got to, uh…" Argh.
Stormbreaker the Graphic Novel by Anthony Horowitz, Antony Johnston, Kanako Damerum & Yuzuru Takasaki
Apparently, Alex Rider is popular. I found out when I googled him. He's what James Bond would be like as a teenager. His movie was a blockbuster and his books were bestsellers. Now he has a graphic novel based on the first book.
My glaring ignorance is not due to me having lived in an island all my life. I simply am not in the right demographics. I may have seen movie trailers but I don't remember if I did. My movie and reading tastes do not run to spy thrillers starring 14-year olds. If the 14-year old has paranormal powers or has become involved in a supernatural situation then I would probably find out about him even if there is no blockbuster movie or bestselling books.
(Readers of the same opinion should try Dan Simmon's Summer of Night. It gave me sleepless nights.)
I picked up this graphic novel at the Powerbooks' Powerbarter last October 27, thinking it would make a kid happy if I donate it to a children's library. I'm writing about it now because I read it, wanting a few idle minutes looking at pictures. I also thought I'd add by one my quantity challenge for the year.
I liked the artwork, which looked like it was a fusion of manga and Western art. Alex Rider has an innocent face normally and mischievous smile as he outwits or saves someone. He's got all these martial skills from all the adventure trips with his uncle–who was a spy. When the uncle was killed by another spy, Alex was recruited–blackmailed, rather–to take his place.
Funny that there is no way I will take the idea of a kid acting for the government amongst cut-throat killers seriously when I have to remind myself, "fantasy, fantasy only," when reading my SF or paranormal mysteries. I suppose it's because I am an eldest in a brood of eight and there was no way in hell would I have allowed my siblings when they were that age to even go biking outside the neighborhood. No head of a spy agency can make my kid brother go head-to-head with bad guys and get away with it!
Already, I am rewriting Stormbreaker in my mind, with Jack, Alex's nanny as the heroine protecting her ward from danger and Gregorovich, a Russian spy, as her bad but very hot adversary. I will also remake scenes of killing so that Alex will offer a more realistic reaction than just "Ew."
Libreria is The Filipino Book Bloggers' headquarters!
The Filipino Book Bloggers met again last Saturday for books, nice company and conversation, and lovely coffee! Libreria at Cubao Expo was the best venue for book geeks. The place had charm and coffee galore! The book selection was fabulous, and Triccie the owner was the most gracious ever. Even if you're not really into books, drop by and relax on the couch with a cup of coffee for a relaxing late afternoon or evening. Just destress, you know.
Libreria is located at Cubao Expo, a collection of shops on Gen. Romulo St, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City. Look for it behind the Old Rustan's building (beside Ali Mall), which is behind Shopwise in front of the entrance of the Araneta Coliseum. The entrance gate leading to Cubao Expo is closed to traffic starting 10pm. Refer to map for directions.
I quite enjoyed myself , and was very sorry I was late and missed much of the conversation. I'll just share a short recap of the topics covered by the group. I have shamelessly referred to the recap of the other bloggers just so I can post something.
- How blogging affects real life, and vice versa
- Blogs we liked; blogging idol
- Addiction to monitoring blog statistics
- Negative reviews
- Personal review policies
- Plagiarism
- Dilemma of reviewing books written by people we know
Apparently, there was an outcry in Twiter by authors who get tagged in
negative reviews. 'It is hurtful and there is no need to tag them' was the sentiment. Most of the other bloggers agreed with this, saying the authors can always do a google search of negative reviews if they feel like it. The authors have a point, I know. But is it not a given that not all readers will like their books? When I write about a book, I basically just say whether I liked it or not. I don't want to be accused of bad manners by an author for writing honestly in my blog.
Tina of One More Page recently had a brush with this issue, she told me later.
I like the solution of Tarie of Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind. She uses different ways to feature books: through reviews, memes, or author interviews. That way if she doesn't like a book but does not want to post a negative review she can still choose to present the book in a positive light.
Another hot issue was plagiarism. Our own supreme court was guilty of this, whether intentionally or not is yet to be confirmed — click links here and here for the story. Kenneth said he felt strongly about plagiarism, and shared with the group another recent example where a cooking magazine editor used without permission an article written by a food writer. When asked for compensation by the writer, the editor allegedly said that the web is public domain and the writer should thank the magazine for editing her work!
Kenneth will host the next Filipino Friday discussion, which will be about plagiarism.
I'd like to commend Chachic for being such a fantastic moderator. She kept the conversation going and effortlessly stepped in with observations and questions when there was danger of dead air. To the other bloggers – Will, Aaron, Jason, Peter, and Rhett - great to see you! Honey, we should continue reading that Choose-your-own-romance-adventure. Blooey, terrific ghost story you shared–made me want to do another gothic tour.

The Patriots announced Tuesday that safety Ross Ventrone has been signed to the practice squad.
Ventrone, 5-foot-8, 190 pounds, was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster prior to the Buffalo game and made his NFL debut against the Bills. He was released from the 53-man roster last Saturday prior to the Oakland game.
Ventrone was originally signed by the Patriots as a rookie free agent out of Villanova on April 29, 2010 and spent the majority of his rookie season on the practice squad. He went to training camp again with the Patriots in 2011 and started the year on the practice squad.
