The MMORPG genre has spit up a few original ideas not so long ago(Tabula Rasa, EVE Online), but nothing too original. Almost every attempt to break from the typical gameplay results in an almost immediate failure. Most developers loose too much resources in developing the game, and the game just isn't successful enough. Unfortunately, The Chronicles Of Spellborn suffered that same fate.
So why am i writing this? Simple – the game went free to play. Automatically making it one of the best free to play MMO's out there. If you compare TCOS(The Chronicles Of Spellborn) to any free-to-play online rpg, you will find it amazing. But, if you compare it to any retail MMORPG you will find it.. amazing. Wait, what?
The first thing that comes to your mind when you first run TCOS is wow! The game blows your mind within seconds. From the great character customization system, to the incredible battle system, which is the best one i've ever seen in an MMORPG.
Brave words, you say. Can i back it up. I'll try to explain the battle system as simple as possible – everything happens through your skilldeck. It's the place where you place and select skills while in battle. Once you have selected a skill from the skilldeck you simply press the left mouse button and your character will cast/use it. Nothing out of the ordinary. But wait – the skilldeck system isn't so simple. First, it's made up of tiers(minimum 2, maximum 6) which are used to place skills. Once you cast a skill from a tier it automatically scrolls to the next tier(see where this is going?). The key is to place the key skills at the key spots of each tier and place them perfectly, so that you have a convenient skill on each tier. But wait – there's more. The game has an FPS like targeting system – no auto atack, no nothing. That makes TCOS quite the action game if you know how to handle it. A simple test shows that it's entirely possible to kill an enemy without loosing any hp. This would require lots of effort on your account – lots of jumping, running, evading and so. Of course you can just do things RPG style standing in one place and getting hit, while hitting. Oh, wait – there's more. The battle system also includes chain combos that, if done right can result in a pretty solid bonus and can turn the entire battle. Ok, that was a long explanation for sure. But the battle system of this game is just so complex and follows the golden rule of arcade gameplay – easy to learn, hard to master. It requires a strategic thought not only using your skills, but arranging your skilldeck.
But a battle system isn't everything in an RPG. The game has to have a solid rpg system to back everything up. Fortunately, the RPG system in TCOS is just as good as the battle system(they are both linked in a perfect synch). At the end everything comes down to your stats and how well you've arranged your skilldeck. The game has 3 attributes in total – Body(equivalent to strength, but also increases Rune Affinity), Mind(equivalent to intelligence but also increases Spirit Affinity) and Focus(equivalent to agility but also increases Soul Affinity). Of course each class depends on a different attribute. But we'll talk about classes later. The battle system also has 3 main states – Physique, Morale and Concentration. The first one affects Movement Speed, the second one – Damage Output and the third – Skill Rotation speed and atack speed. The game uses two types of leveling systems – Fame Level which is the equivalent to your average leveling system seen in every mmo – you gain exp and level up – hurray. The second one is called PeP and stands for personal expirience points. Each time you defeat someone or complete a quest you gain both fame and personal expirience points. What the PeP does is enhance your Attributes and and shifts your default Base Level for State Ranks of all three State Bars up by one rank. The PeP has a maximum of 5 levels and eventually decreases. Here is a list of all the effects, depending on the PeP level:
• PeP Rank 0 – No effects.
• PeP Rank 1 – Raise all Attributes by 1 and gain 1 additional rank Base Level
• PeP Rank 2 – Raise all Attributes by 2
• PeP Rank 3 – Raise all Attributes by 4 and gain 1 additional rank Base Level
• PeP Rank 4 – Raise all Attributes by 7
• PeP Rank 5 – Raise all Attributes by 11 and gain 1 additional rank Base Level
Everything is chained together so, if you know what you're doing, you can have a level 5 Adept that can easily take on 2 Level 5 Adepts depending on your PeP, attributes, states and all this crap. Ok, enough statistics.
Now let's talk about the character classes. You have 3 archetypes that specialize in different elite classes called disciples. The base classes are standard – Warrior, Spellcaster and Rogue. Once you reach level 5 you can select a disciple. The warrior ca be either an Adept, a Blood Warrior or a Wrathguard. The spellcaster – Ancestral Mage, Rune Mage and Void Seer. As for the rogue he can advance in either a Death Hand, a Skinshifter or a Trickster. Each class is well balanced – there is no weak and strong.
What's next? Oh, right – Story. Spellborn has a solid lore behind it. Basically the story tells us of a revolt from the enslaved humans that ended up ripping through the world. Five centuries later, the remaining human population awakened – the world had changed. The game is post-apocalyptic fantasy, with a dark setting. The world of The Chronicles of Spellborn is rich, to say the least. Humans go through their daily chores, beasts roam the woods and wastelands.. You get the picture. I think now it's the time to mention that the PvP(well, it isn't but i will 😛 ) is amazing. As for the quests and content – the game has packed and incredible amount of quests, enemies and a large database. Ok, moving on.
The graphical side of the game left me confused.. The character models could use lots of work since some of the look horrible. Surprisingly others look really good. But that is all compensated from the outstanding design and look of the environment. The armors and weapons are also greatly designed.
The sound and especially the background music is outstanding. I'll just mention that Within Temptation have composed a couple of songs for the game. 🙂 I'll end this article by saying this – The Chronicles Of Spellborn is one amazing MMO that can easily crush every free to play MMO and a large part of the Pay2Play ones. The game is just so original, so deep and makes you want to play more and more. If you're an MMO fan – don't miss out. It's free.

Paroxysmal tachycardia is defined by Lewis as "a condition in which from time to time the normal mechanism of the heart beat is interrupted by a series of rapid and regular beats varying in rate between 100 and 200 beats per minute, the attacks starting and ending quite abruptly."
The normal impulse to the heart beat originates in the sinus node, or pacemaker, situated at the junction of the superior vena cava and the right auricle. In paroxysmal tachycardia, a new center of impulse formation arises outside the sinus node, in either the auricle or the ventricle, and the rate is much greater than normal. In the ordinary case of paroxysmal tachycardia, the onset is sudden. The patient is perfectly comfortable and may be aware of the increase in the rate of the heart beat or of a fluttering sensation about the heart. The average pulse rate is about 160

I hate asking this because I feel like somewhere on this site its been answered (but i searched and couldnt come up with a straight answer)...so here goes.
Is it possible to use a sram rear derailleur on an otherwise all shimano bike?
I hate asking this because I feel like somewhere on this site its been answered (but i searched and couldnt come up with a straight answer)...so here goes.
Is it possible to use a sram rear derailleur on an otherwise all shimano bike?
You will have to have a SRam shifter to operate the Sram derailleur. The Shimano systems use a 2:1 cable pull ratio between the shifter and deraileur whereas Sram uses 1:1. That means the Sram deraileur will not be able to move as far as it would need to in order to shift. Chain and cassetes on the other hand, mix away. I use a Sram rear deraileur and shifter and chain on my otherwise shimano bike.
Aviation Mechanic, Bike racer, Fitness Equipment Restorer
Wrong.....That's only true of the Sram esp stuff. Non esp sram RD are fully shimano compatible. I hope that wasn't nit picking.Originally Posted by mtbikerinpa
thanks for the speedy replies.
yes as long as you know if the derailer is for the sprocket count 5 ,6.or 7 it just has to be able to swing enough to hit every gear. and remember there are to adjustment screws to allow how far it goes and when it stops.
Nope. Derailleurs can't count. Shifters have to pretty much match up with the number of cassette cogs because the spacing tends to vary. Sydney's right about the derailleurs. Some SRAM rear derailleurs work with Shimano shifters and some don't.Originally Posted by wilsall6
Wrong...Actually it's about throw ratio,and how the RD interfaces with the shifter pull.Because of incompatible throw ratio you can't use a 8 speed DA RD with any other shimano 8 speed shifters other than pre 9 speed DA. That's also why you can't use a campy 9 speed RD in an otherwise 9 speed shimano drivetrain or vice versa.And that is why sram ESP RD are compatible only with SRAM ESP shifters....Hopefully if I say it enough times youse guys will all get your heads around the concept of RD compatibility in index systems.Nothing new here.Been that way since 1985 when shimano brought indexing to the masses.....SOMEBODY OUGHTA MAKE A STICKY!Originally Posted by wilsall6
I already know there are types that are Shimano compatible, but they are few and far between in virtually every shop I have been to. That includes a very large area of the eastern US. The new units come with a chart on the box that says which are and arent.
By the way Syd, there are other ways to present a counterpoint than to say Wrong as the first word.
Aviation Mechanic, Bike racer, Fitness Equipment Restorer
Wrong... wrong is just wrong. Regardless of what you see in the shops,that isn't what's out in the real world,or what the poster might have or be contemplating. The guy asked about sram/shimano compatiblibility and the answer is IT DEPENDS, not NO.Originally Posted by mtbikerinpa
granted i work in what is the opposite of a pro shop, but my experience has been even that almost all gripshift-equipped bikes from dept store through entry to lower-middle level quality bikes come with shimano compatible MRX shifters...Originally Posted by mtbikerinpa

Id hope those are not on your rigs. I've had so many problems with them on customer bikes.shimano compatible MRX shifters

Trauth delivers annual academic year kickoff speech at Texas State
Trauth delivers annual academic year kickoff speech at Texas State
Date of Release: 08/23/2005

SAN MARCOS—Progress, ethics, and the concept of higher education as a social compact were central themes as Texas State University-San Marcos President Denise M. Trauth delivered her annual state of the university address during the annual Fall Convocation and General Faculty Meeting Tuesday, Aug. 23.
Texas State, Trauth said, made substantial progress during 2005, illustrated in part by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's approval of planning authority for four new Ph.D. programs at the university. The four programs – in criminal justice, computer science, mathematics and mathematics education, will have a transformational effect on the university, Trauth said.
"These four new doctorates that we received authority for this spring will change the perception of Texas State among our peers, our prospective faculty, the general public and even ourselves," said Trauth.
Although the Texas Legislature did not approve a tuition revenue bond package that could have funded an undergraduate academic center at Texas State and a second building at the Round Rock Higher Education Center, Trauth said she was encouraged by higher levels of future funding from the Higher Education Assistance Fund and the general appropriation that were approved by the Legislature for Texas State.
Trauth announced the appointment of Department of Marketing Chair Debbie McAlister as a Presidential Fellow to focus on strengthening the university's emphasis on ethics.
"We want Texas State University to be known as a university that gives its students the preparation they must have to be the citizens we need them to be and the citizens they want to be. This is our legacy. We have been doing this for more than a hundred years, but as times change, so do the requirements of this preparation. We owe it to ourselves and our students to nurture a culture that is forthrightly honest. We must teach our students that there is nothing that being unethical gives them that is greater than what it takes away from them," said Trauth.
Trauth invoked the memory of Texas State's most distinguished alumnus, former President Lyndon Johnson, as she emphasized that higher education is a public good and should be seen as a social compact.
She cited statistics that demonstrate that college graduates earn more, are healthier and are more active in the democratic process than those who do not graduate from college.
Trauth told of how Johnson signed the Higher Education Act of 1965 on the Texas State campus, and she said this moment marked a movement in higher education, opening the doors to students who had thought college opportunities to be out of reach.
She said Johnson must have foreseen the impact the Higher Education Act would have in 1965 as he signed the bill in San Marcos.
"He said, 'So when we leave here this morning, I want you to go back and say to your children and to your grandchildren and those who come after you and follow you – tell them that we have made a promise to them.' He might have said, 'Tell them we have made a social compact with them,'" said Trauth.
Trauth announced that Texas State would celebrate the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act on Nov. 8 when Arnold Mitchem, president of the Council for Opportunity in Education will deliver the university's Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lecture. President Johnson's daughter, Luci Baines Johnson, will also speak on campus that day.

5 Questions with PerkStreet CEO Dan O'Malley
Posted By Jim On 08/19/2013 @ 7:15 am In Personal Finance | 7 Comments
I had the opportunity to ask the CEO of PerkStreet, Dan O'Malley, a few questions via email near the end of last week, courtesy of their COO Jason Henrichs. As you know, PerkStreet announced they'd be shutting down [3] and would not be paying out any outstanding perks.
People were understandably
upset livid. Social media exploded and the poor employees, who would soon be out of the job, were trying to put out raging infernos with spoonfuls of water.
Maybe I can be calmer about it because I didn't have a PerkStreet account (I thought their mission was great, I just didn't need a debit card and I'd been trying to simplify my finances [4]), but things got really nasty and personal very quickly. PerkStreet wasn't really a bank, it was a startup with a very ambitious goal, and they failed. They ran out of money, couldn't secure more, and had to shut down.
Dave Ramsey, on his show, called them slimeballs. That's a gross overreaction. But he had to say that, he was embarrassed that he was paid to endorse a product and the product failed. What was he going to say to callers who were upset? (in fairness to Ramsey, he did say that any losses people had in perks weren't going to be big, that you weren't getting rich off rewards, and that people should calm down)
I asked Dan a few questions to get to the human side of it because I figured anything "official" would have to be sent through lawyers and sanitized. Here's the very brief email interview.
1. How have the last few days gone for you and Perkstreet since the announcement?
It's been a tough time. We let most of our employees go and had some hard goodbyes with people that have been in the trenches together for a while. We have had a team that has been absolutely committed to what we were doing, that believed we had a shot at changing the industry. While the company was not successful, I believe that we did show that financial services firms can put money back in their customers' pockets in new ways.
2. Did you anticipate the level of outrage over the closure? Are there plans to try to mitigate that? Dave Ramsey was not pleased on his show.
We understand why customers are unhappy and it's incredibly disappointing for customers to not get their perks. We just don't have any other options. If we're able to find a way for customers to be paid perks, we'll do it.
3. Are there any plans to try to sell Perkstreet? Perhaps to another bank willing to pay out the perks?
We are continuing to have conversations that could result in the sale of the company or the payment of perks. We'll continue to try until the very end.
4. What is your opinion of the banking and finance industry and has that changed?
I like working in financial services because you can have a real impact on people's lives and because the industry needs help. I still believe that. But it is very, very hard to create a new company in the space. And the changes in the industry since the financial collapse have only intensified the difficulty. I don't think that changes my belief that we need more companies started in financial services, however — it just means you need to be extremely hard-headed to do so.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently? Anything you want people to know?
Whenever you try to build a company, the list of things that you should have done differently in hindsight is huge. Too long to list here.
Update: If your PerkStreet account was with Provident Bank, you actually got a statement credit [5] for the full value of your perks on August 15th. If you closed your account, you'll be getting it as a check in the mail. A nice gesture by Provident Bank, not sure if Bancorp will be following suit.
No one is sailing away on a big luxury yacht… and the big takeaway from this is that it's not necessarily the end of perks. I wouldn't hold my breath but the potential for a somewhat positive ending is still there.

Shell U.K. Extends Rolls Wood Group Deal
Shell U.K. has extended the gas turbine maintenance contract held by Aberdeen, the Scotland-based Rolls Wood Group (RWG), to 2015. The contract includes maintenance, repair and overhaul of 27 Rolls-Royce Avon and RB211 gas turbines operating on seven offshore platforms in the U.K.'s North Sea.
The extended contract retains the same work scope as the original agreement, received in 1999, for maintaining gas turbine drivers for electrical power generation and gas compressor sets. Over the life of the contract, reliability of the gas turbines has increased with time between overhauls being extended, Wood Group said.
RWG, a joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Wood Group, also provides overhaul services to other Shell companies, including Shell Sarawak, Shell Malampaya, and Shell Brunei.

Well, we made through another winter—and not a moment too soon. Having survived last week's Northeaster in NYC, this barkeep is ready for the warm weather.
To help celebrate, our new friend Rebecca sent us four refreshing cocktails that evoke the brightness of spring. She was also kind enough to brave the storm and introduce me to some amazing cocktails at Sapa an extremely cool spot on 24th Street near Madison Park that serves French … Read more

Road Journals Blog—Great Basin National Park [2] occupies only a small corner of the actual Great Basin [3], which stretches from the Sierra Nevada in California to the Wasatch Range in Utah, covering some 200,000 square miles.
I discovered this firsthand, traveling eastward to the park from the San Francisco Bay area, across Nevada on Highway 50. The road climbed to the summit of a compact range and then down across a flat expanse of desert—a basin—then up onto the next range. Over and over again. I began to picture the terrain as a giant washboard.
Geologists call it corrugated topography, resembling cardboard of the same name. By my count, I crossed more than a dozen basins and ranges on my way across Nevada.
The entire Great Basin, I read later in one of my guidebooks, encompasses 90 basins and 160 mountain ranges.
Each basin and range has its own ecological characteristics, but I'll admit that it took some time before I could discriminate. But as my eyes adjusted to the palate of colors and the desert landscapes, I began to see distinctions. Some of the ranges were arid. Others bore scruffy vegetation. Some of the basins were flat and sandy. Others were formed of undulating rocks.
The vast region gets its name from the fact that it's literally one giant basin. All the precipitation that falls here stays here because there is no outlet to the sea. When I stopped for a picnic lunch in the middle of the state, I understood, on a small scale, what that means. I was surrounded in all directions by the reddish and tan rocks of the basin's rim. A rainstorm had passed through the day before, leaving behind pools of water. They would evaporate before another day passed.
If you're interested in reading more on the geological forces that formed this stark and fascinating terrain, check out John McPhee's classic, Basin and Range [6]. And if you make the trip, set aside enough time to give your eyes and other senses time to adjust to the landscape's minimalist beauties. There's no place quite like it on earth.

The Penthouse is located in one of Palm Beach County's most prestigious condominium developments, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Singer Island. Residents can take comfort in that fact that all units within the condominium are privately owned, eliminating the diminished privacy and exclusivity associated with "condo-hotel" developments found in many upscale oceanfront markets.
From a dedicated 24-hour concierge, to valet parking and poolside service, residents enjoy resort-like pampering combined with the privacy and comforts of home. Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a business center and library, a social room with a catering kitchen and billiard table, in-residence dining, as well as multiple lounges and screening rooms.
The development also boasts a heated lagoon pool with oceanfront views, an additional resort pool with tropical palm tree landscaping, and 375 feet of direct beachfront access. There is also a private poolside restaurant, chef-maintained herb garden, two whirlpool spas, and outdoor kitchens and barbeques for residents to enjoy.
Other amenities available to residents include enclosed private garages for both automobiles and sporting equipment, as well as air-conditioned private storage rooms. There are also private guest suites and oceanfront cabanas as additional options. (Note: These particular amenities may require a purchase or fee-for-use, and are subject to availability. Inquire for details).
Known for its white sand beaches, Singer Island (which is technically more of a peninsula than a true island) provides luxury and leisure in the form of an oceanfront paradise. Located in Palm Beach County, only eight miles from the nearest international airport and within ten minutes of the heart of the island of Palm Beach, the area has been dubbed by the Travel Channel, U.S. News, and USA Today as home to some of the best beaches in the state of Florida.
The peninsula protrudes farther into the Atlantic Ocean than any other part of Florida's coastline, providing sweeping, unencumbered ocean views. The community boasts six golf courses, many of which are world-class PGA national courses, in addition to three museums, two marinas, countless restaurants, and proximity to upscale shopping destinations such as The Palm Beach Gardens Mall and Palm Beach's renowned Worth Avenue (the latter being known as the address of some of the most luxurious retail and fashion boutiques in the country).
Both residents and visitors enjoy spending time at the John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, which provides hiking and biking trails within lush mangrove forests, along with snorkeling and scuba diving in the Anastasia Limestone Rock Reef, and kayaking and canoeing in Lake Worth Lagoon.

Hi folks,
I've got a question regarding to alias e-mail addresses. Here is what I do.
mydomain.com = Default Domain
User: firstname.lastname@example.com
Alias: email@example.com
The problem is that I want the user to login with "loginname", not "anothername". So basically I don't want to have aliases be able to login. Is there a way to achieve that somehow?
If you are wondering why I want to do that. The login mailaddresses (firstname.lastname@example.com) are not used for sending mails at all, just for the login. This is a restriction due to the security. I don't want to have public e-mail addresses which are used to login into any system.

How to Lose 5 Pounds in a Day
Four Methods:Losing Water WeightRemoving WasteChanging Your DietQuick Weight Loss TipsCommunity Q&A
Weight loss should be combined with long-term lifestyle changes, like eating healthy and exercising. In fact, the Mayo Clinic recommends aiming to lose between 1 and 2 lbs. per week (0.5 and 1 kg), for healthy weight loss.[1] However, you can shed water weight, waste and more, leading to weight loss of 5 lbs. (2.3kg) or more within 1 day.
Method 1
Losing Water Weight
1Drink lots of water. If you aren't currently consuming 64 oz. (1.8l) of water per day, make that your goal.
- If you are consuming the recommended daily intake, increase your intake. You can try to consume up to 100 to 135oz. (3 to 4l).
- Beware that increasing your water consumption drastically can hurt your sleep patterns, interrupt your daily schedule or lead to discomfort. Ramp up your intake by 2 or 3 glasses per day if you are already drinking 64 oz.
- You can include clear juices and teas in your estimated consumption.
- Athletes, like wrestlers, who have to drop weight quickly, start drinking extra water several days before to flush out their systems, and then reduce their water intake right before they are weighed. [2]
2Reduce your sodium intake. Aim to only eat approximately 500 to 1,500 mg of salt. [3]
- The easiest way to do this is to cut out all processed foods today. This includes cereal, baked goods, cheese, lunch meats, frozen vegetables, canned soups, canned vegetables or beans, mixes, sliced bread. Salt is a preservative as well as a flavoring and processed foods are rich in it.
- Consume foods with little to no processing, like eggs, wild rice, quinoa, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, garlic, salads, freshly caught seafood, unsalted nuts and seeds.
Method 2
Removing Waste
2Eat a fiber-filled breakfast. Choose oatmeal, quinoa, low-fat Greek yogurt, unsalted nuts, a veggie omelet and whole fruits.
- Eat your breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up.
- Plan to consume between 300 and 600 calories for breakfast.
- Combine your oatmeal, yogurt and fruit in a smoothie. Put some leafy greens in the smoothie for added nutrition.
- You should be consuming 25 to 30 g of fiber per day, so increase your intake to reach these levels.
3Drink a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. These natural diuretics can help you to have a bowel movement.
- If you are having inconsistent bowel movements, you can lose between 3 and 5 lbs. in a single movement.
4Eat fruits and vegetables that are natural diuretics. Plan today's meals around these foods that will help you lose water weight and excrement.
- Eat fruit like melon, cranberries and tomatoes.
- Eat vegetables like asparagus, celery, parsley, cucumbers, fennel, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, carrots and beats.
- Sip on tea that contains dandelion leaf, green tea and nettle.[5]
5Use probiotics every day.
- A small serving of Greek yogurt is ideal. Make sure it is low in sodium and contains active cultures.
- You can opt for kefir in place of yogurt. Kefir is a probiotic beverage available in most grocery stores.
Method 3
Changing Your Diet
1Cut out carbs the day you want to lose weight. You can help your body reduce water weight by getting all your carbs from fruits and vegetables that day.
- Eat salads instead of sandwiches.
- Don't eat breads, pastas or other refined grain products.
- Studies suggest that maintaining a low-carb diet just 3 days a week can help you shed a few lbs. and maintain your weight better. [6]
2Eat less as the day goes on.
- Try to cut your meals in half. Smaller portions help.
- You are more likely to burn off calories that are consumed earlier in the day than those consumed later on.[7]
Method 4
Quick Weight Loss Tips
1Go to a sauna. If you haven't been able to rid your body of a full 5lbs. (2.3kg) of water weight, you can try to sweat it out.
- Sit in a hot sauna or steam room for 20 minutes.
- Beware that this can dehydrate you and the results are temporary.
2Increase your activity today. You can burn through more calories and push more water and waste through your body by exercising.
- Walk for 30 minutes at lunch and after dinner.
- Choose evening activities that are active, instead of watching TV.
- Walk or bike for your commute.
- Do difficult chores around the house. Sweep, don't vacuum, move all the furniture and clean under it, polish your banisters etc.
- Use all the extra time you can find to burn more calories and rev up your metabolism.
Community Q&A
Can a young teen do this?
- It really is not recommended that you do, as your body is still developing and needs lots of energy to grow. If you really want to lose some weight though, consider going for a 20 to 30 minute walk, eating a salad, and skipping starchy or greasy food. Do NOT skip meals or starve yourself, as this will only make it worse.
What can we do in the night to lose weight
Things You'll Need
- Water, tea and juice

District discusses I.B. in middle school
Middle Years Program would update SSMS curriculum
1 2 Next page >
At its meeting on April 2, the Rockville Centre Board of Education discussed adding the International Baccalaureate's Middle Years Program back into the budget and the South Side Middle School curriculum, potentially changing the way students are taught, before curriculum changes are made at the state level starting next year.
The Board of Education removed thousands of dollars from the budget last month that was earmarked for the MYP program. But after an outcry from some parents, the board is reconsidering its decision.
The Middle Years Program, or MYP, is part of the I.B. curriculum targeted for younger students, generally 11 to 16. It's complementary to the program that currently exists in the high school.
"We felt that this was a really good year [to implement the program]," said South Side Middle School Principal Shelagh McGinn. "If we're coming into the Common Core and we're changing what we're doing, a lot of it we can marry with the I.B. — make one change."
The new Common Core curriculum focuses on more in-depth analysis of materials by students, something that is already part of the MYP program.
Working with the I.B., the district has developed a special part of the MYP program that is for grades six through eight. "When it's done as a middle school grouping — and I want to say this loud and clear, because I think this is the worry that I've been hearing — there are no outside assessments," McGinn said. "It's our assessments. It's our curriculum, and being part of the MYP, the I.B. will give us tons of support in curriculum that we currently don't have through Common Core and the new things New York state is doing."
There would be a cost of approximately $10,000 in the first year for staff training, as well a stipend of about $8,250 to compensate a faculty member to act as coordinator — a liaison between the school and the I.B. organization.

"Close your mouth, dear."
You see, my husband had caught his first glimpse of Ruby's $3.6 million establishment, and he was in awe. Not with the elaborate décor. Not with the stunning architecture. Not even with the dramatic dining rooms. No, he was mesmerized by the women. Babes. Eye candy, as he says. Three of them, all dressed in black, (but more Aerosmith-than-Robert-Palmer-video chicks), young and leggy, who eagerly greeted us at the door.
The attractive hostesses and cocktail waitresses are just one of many ways Ruby sets the stage for a dining experience that is truly an entertainment event, not just a meal. Carlo & Johnny combines his signature showmanship style, a dash of humor and the skills of Executive Chef Jimmy Gibson to create a dining experience unlike any other in the city.
Ruby bought and renovated the building on Montgomery Road in Montgomery that was most recently Charlie's Oyster Bar. In its storied past it's also been a private mansion and a nightclub/gambling joint. Ruby has transformed it into an elaborate, Chicago-style supperclub and nightclub that, like his other establishments, attracts visiting stars, local celebrities and athletes, and folks just willing to drop a pretty penny for a dry-aged steaks.
The bar/lounge area, with its pockets of plush, cozy seating arrangements, is the perfect setting for a cigar and a good glass of Scotch early in the evening. Too late, however, and the small area is transformed into a boogying frenzy with a rockin' 10-piece band that keeps the crowd swinging and the cocktail waitresses (and their bare midriffs) hustling. You'll see plenty of single (or should I just say, "solo"?), 50-ish men discussing politics with the cocktail servers and female bartenders, especially early in the evening.
Beyond the lounge is the raw bar area, complete with an Italian gondola full of huge prawns, oysters, king crab legs and the like, plus a costumed gondola attendant. (How they convince the boys at the raw bar to wear those outfits is a mystery to me.)
The show continues into the three separate dining rooms, and although you can state your preference when making reservations, the hostess makes the call regarding where you're seated.
Fortunately, all of the signature steaks, the raw bar selections, and most of the salads and side dishes can be found in any of the three dining rooms.
The elegant Emerald Room has the glamour and feel of old-time Hollywood, with its green velvet walls and red leather banquettes. Its nine-page menu lists items with a Hollywood theme, like Francis Ford Cappacola ($9.95 per person), billed as a "legitimate Italian antipasto. The only one in the city with imported Italian meats and cheeses." I had to smile at Penne From Heaven ($19.95), with lobster, shrimp and crab in a light crème sauce, and Silence of the Dry Aged Lambs ($32.95), lamb chops served cutlet style, accompanied, of course, with fava beans. Although it offers the most extensive list of choices among the three rooms, the Emerald Room also appears to feature mostly the highest priced selections.
The Chicago Room is modeled on Italian steakhouses, with red-and-white checkered tablecloths and hardwood floors. Pastas, from Linguine with White Clam Sauce ($15.95) to Hand Rolled Penne with Braised Veal and Borlotti Beans ($19.95), and Italian specialties, like Veal Marsala ($21.95) and Osso Buco ($24.95) are found here.
The Grill Room, where we dined, has more of an exclusive men's club or lodge feel to it, with a massive stone fireplace and plenty of stuffed (formerly live, not Muppet) animals displayed throughout. The menu here is pared down, still offering all the steak selections, plus few choices from the other dining rooms.
Of all the Ruby establishments I've visited, the service we received on this night at Carlo & Johnny was by far the best. Our server (a young man, as they all are here) was personable and sincere, making excellent recommendations and keeping us happy throughout our evening. The only slip came when another server cleared away our dinner plates without asking if any of us cared to take home our leftover bounty -- and considering the size of the portions, a lot of food went to waste.
Among the four of us at our table, we managed to sample what seemed like a little of everything from the Grill Room menu. Our picks from the raw bar included huge prawns, oysters and giant lobster claws. Salads (and sides) are all à la carte, and we sampled the delicious Beefsteak, Onion and Mozzarella ($4.95), and the fresh, crisp Iceberg Wedge with Bleu Cheese Dressing ($2.95). Then came the steaks: Our guest enjoyed his Ruby's Bone-in Filet (Market price, $44) topped with fois gras ($4.95). The Ladies Filet ($32) was a smaller cut; our guest, who had hers topped with Maytag Bleu Cheese ($1.95), raved about it. She was especially happy that our server didn't cringe when she ordered it well done: It was indeed cooked as she had requested. I was the only non-red meat eater of the night, but I devoured my Wood Grilled Swordfish ($19.95). It was a thick, moist fish steak that could have fed two.
We wisely took our server's advice to share side dishes and ordered the Potato Latke with Homemade Applesauce ($4.50), a delicious potato pancake with a touch of onion, and the Italian Macaroni and Cheese with Prosciutto, a creamy, flavorful twist on an old favorite ($4.95). Both offered far more than we could finish, even among the four of us.
Desserts, like the entire evening itself, were decadent and ranged from Ruby's homemade signature cheesecake ($5.95), to Strawberry Shortcake ($5.95), to a rich, dense Chocolate Tower ($5.95).
For a special occasion, a chance to feel like a celebrity -- or for people-watching with a sense of humor -- and of course, for those steaks, Carlo & Johnny steals the show.
Go: 9769 Montgomery Road, Montgomery
Call: 513-936-8600
Hours: Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 5-11 p.m.
Prices: Expensive
Payment: Major credit cards
Red Meat Alternatives: Dozens of seafood options, from swordfish, to salmon, to seafood pasta dishes, depending on the dining room. Salads and sides alone could make up a meal.
Other: Valet parking. Reservations suggested.

Joseline Hernandez Goes on Major Twitter Rant — See What She Had to Say!
A new week, a new feud. That's the latest on Joseline Hernandez who is royally irked about something.
Joseline started her Monday morning by blasting the Twitterverse with a whole parcel of too hot to handle messages. "I'm glad bishh n—s keep my name In they mouth early in the am. Can't wait to run into them so I can slap the smirk out your face. Bishh," she began. A couple equally foul-mouthed tweets later, Ms. Joseline added, "I hate the most when you don't f—k with people but they be mad talking about you for no reason. No matter how much success u have."
Whoever the mystery person (or people) who have Joseline all in a twist, she claims "you are not happy with yourself cause you live a lie" and now has a spot on "my s—t list." We'd go on but we think you get the point.
All this despite Joseline and her family receiving some happy news this weekend! Stevie J.'s oldest son, Dorian, and his girlfriend welcomed their first child, officially making the pair grandparents! True, 27-year-old Joseline isn't biologically related to Dorian but that doesn't make the news any less sweet for the family.
Whatever might be going on in J's personal life, we hope Dorian's new baby can put a smile back on her face!
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 3, Episode 9: "Three Way, No Way" airs Monday, June 23, at 8 p.m. ET on VH1.

Blu-ray Review: Charles Falls For THE MUPPETS' Effortless Charm
Apparently, the Academy was concerned that the vaudeville-style humor of the Muppets might be too edgy for its target demo (septuagenarians and joke writer Bruce Villanche, waiting, ever waiting by the phone for when he's needed to punch up the jokes). And that's a shame, really, because The Muppets would have been right at home handing out the honors to The Artist and Hugo, both paens to Hollywood's past. More than anything, that's what the new film is: a love note not only Jim Henson's creations but to the idea of putting on a show for the audience.*
And it's funny, too! And it's got musical numbers, and it's got heart, and about a dozen other unquantifiable things that as a reviewer who group up watching The Muppet Show on a series of small, beat-up, hand-me-down TVs, I feel I must quantify.
The story, as thin as is it, concerns the titular troupe having to reform and put on a show to save their crumbling L.A. studio (upgraded from a simple theater over the years), from greedy magnate Tex Richman who's played by Chris Cooper who gets to rap about his evil motivations at about the halfway point. And when I reassure you that yes, it's that Chris Cooper, you'll have a better idea of the kind of movie that The Muppets is.
Like its newest Muppet, Walter (Peter Linz), it's ingratiating, but not grating. More than anything, both the movie and Walter want to be liked, might seem a little corny, but you can't help but like them.
Oh yeah, the plot. So Walter and his brother, Gary (Jason Segel, who co-wrote the movie with Nicholas Stoller), and Gary's fiancee, Mary (Amy Adams) head out to L.A. where they take the most dispiriting studio tour in history, and learn that the Muppets aren't really in the business of putting on shows anymore. Let's put aside the ultra Muppets fan Walter should know this kind of thing already, but it's an excuse for them to track down Kermit and the rest of the gang to resurrect the show and save the contractually jeopardized Muppet name.
I could point out some of the small jokes and asides from the movie, but I feel like I'd either be spoiling them or doing them an injustice. It's sweetly funny and gentle, so it's not like I'd be spoiling some joke of the year, but The Muppets is one of those movies you discover with your kids (or if you're a grown-ass man with a beard without kids like your reviewer) and you just smile at during and after the viewing.
*Okay, I'm stretching it here as The Artist and Hugo were more concerned with the particulars or cinema history while The Muppets is predominantly about the stage and stage musicals.
Presentation, Audio, and Video
Yeah, so if you're going to buy any edition, get the "Wocka Flocka" set that comes with an insane amount of extras (detailed below) along with the full soundtrack.
On Blu-ray, The Muppets is pretty standard fare, though--you're not getting anything so visually impressive that you'll be writing home about it (it is, after all, a mid-budget live-action family movie). The gloss looks a little glossier, and the felt looks feltier, is all.
The Muppets: The Wocka Flocka Edition is on DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD now.

Ken Price, one of the most influential ceramicists of his generation, died on Friday, February 24th, at his home in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, outside Taos. He was 77.
Price started out in painting at the University of Southern California. After studying briefly with Peter Voulkos at the Los Angeles County Institute of Art (currently known as Otis College of Art and Design), Price attended Alfred University in western New York, where he received his graduate degree in ceramics. Back in Los Angeles, Price submerged himself in the city's vibrant art scene and became a fixture at the ultra-hip Ferus Gallery, where he had his first solo exhibition in 1960. Inspired by the natural environment and Mexican folk pottery that surrounded him as a youth in southern California, as well as Native American culture in the Southwest, Price's work was unique because of the vibrant colors and unusual forms. In the early 1960s he worked in series and produced objects shaped like lumps, domes, and eggs; many of his earliest cups feature creatures – most notably snails – on the base. These geometric cups, simultaneously abstract and literal, were some of the first functional/non-functional ceramic objects.
In 1971, Price moved from Los Angeles to Taos. While in Taos, he created one of his best-recognized series, "Happy's Curios" (named after his wife, Happy), which was exhibited in 1978 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The installation took Price four years to produce and featured multiple wooden cabinets displaying groups of matching pots or ceramic tiles that were largely inspired by roadside stands and storefront curio shops of the Southwest. The installation was seen as an important representation of the complexities of display and production of "folk" objects.
Throughout his later career, Price continued to experiment with color, and he expanded the size of his sculpture - with some works growing to more than 7 feet. In the 1980s, he began painting his forms with thin layers of bright acrylic paint that he then sanded down in patches, illuminating multiple hues. In the 2000s he used this same process on bronze.
With a career that defied many of the restrictions placed on other artists working in clay, Price is largely recognized as the first post-modern ceramicist, defining and redefining ceramic sculpture. Throughout his iconoclastic career, Price was an innovator, and his work was bolder than most of the traditional ceramics of his time.
Recognized as a member of the College of Fellows by the American Craft Council in 1993, Price reached a broad audience both within the craft world and in the larger art market. His objects are in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Some of his most recent works and exhibitions were held at the Matthew Marks Gallery and the Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York, and at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. Before his death, Price completed preparations for a retrospective scheduled to open at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this fall and travel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Price will be one of only two ceramic artists to have career retrospectives exhibited at the MET.
A man of few words when it came to discussing his work, he had this to say in a talk delivered in 2005 at the Chinati Foundation: "My primary satisfaction comes from making the work, and my idea of success is getting it to look right….I can't prove my art's any good or that it means what I say it means. And nothing I say can improve the way it looks."

Put safety in your hands using the FBI's new Child ID application for your mobile phone.
Child ID Mobile App08/05/2011
Mollie Halpern: Nearly 800,000 children go missing every year in America. The FBI is launching a free smartphone application that can help in those first few critical hours after an abduction.
Michael Lilly: This app puts safety in your hands.
Halpern: I'm Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week. The Child ID app enables users to electronically store their child's photos and vital information. Parents can easily e-mail that information to law enforcement. Michael Lilly is the unit chief of Online/Print Media…
Lilly: You have a much better chance of recovering a child if you can get that information into the hands of law enforcement very quickly.
Halpern: The information you load into the app is yours alone.
Lilly: Rest assured—the FBI is not storing any information from the app.
Halpern: The Child ID app also includes…
Lilly: We have a whole series of tips for keeping your kids out of harm's way.
Halpern: Child ID can be used on iPhones and downloaded from the App Store on iTunes. Plans are in the works to launch the app in other mobile platforms. The app is the first FBI-created mobile application, and more are expected. That's what's happening at the FBI, This Week.

But a funny thinghappened on the way to the 21st century. Dr. Dean had children, and they becamedoctors. Other Dean relatives also became doctors. Offices sprang up in Madisonand beyond, and the web of Dean doctors extended itself throughout the state ofWisconsin, evolving into Dean Health System. Today, nearly 100 years later, DeanHealth System operates 22 clinics, employs nearly 3,500 people, including 450doctors, and serves more than 200,000 patients.
Dean Health Systemoperates its own health maintenance organization, one of the largest and mostdiverse in the state, contracting with nearly 1,000 physicians, 21 hospitals and200 pharmacies in a 17-county area. It also operates its own research andeducation foundation.
All of which meansthat Dean Health needs fast, reliable human resources data, from a solution thatcan grow quickly. To meet these requirements, they turned to mySAPHuman Resources.
"Our challengewas, how do we provide increased human resources services without significantgrowth in staff," said Dan Seering, Vice President for Human Resources.
"We had humanresource software we purchased 10 years ago that wasn't holding up well as wegrew. After some upgrades we found ourselves with lots of system downtime, andincreasingly unreliable data.
"It's the jobof my department to administer the benefits to over 3,000 employees. We recruitphysicians and non-physicians to our business. And we make sure we comply withfederal laws and regulations.
"We essentiallyserve the employees and physicians from date of hire until they no longer workhere. So we needed an HR solution that was reliable, expandable, and couldhandle a diverse and multi-operational health care system."
Dean Health Systemswent live with SAP HR in July of 1999 with help from consulting firms, GrantThornton, Modern Business Technology and Nexus.
Dean Health Systemselected SAP HR in part due to the Accelerated HR implementation methodology.
"We wanted totake a very aggressive approach. In fact, we did the implementation in 14 weeks,and kept everything else running in the meantime." Accelerated HR, whichprovides best business practices and settings already configured in thesoftware, enabled Dean Health System to get HR benefits functionality up andrunning quickly and accurately.
Testing the systemlasted only one week, although the implementation plan had called for a longertest phase.
"We decided wedidn't need to test for an extended period. We went through one week where wetested all the basic functions. We entered employee data, transferred the data,and went through all the motions as if we were signing someone up for benefits.SAP HR worked fine."
Now that SAP HR isup and running, Seering says, "the system reliability is wonderful. Before,we were not able to move our recruiters off-site, because the computers couldn'tsupport remote access. Now we have the capability to send recruiters to remotesites and receive their information directly into the system.
"Also, there ismore reporting capability than we had before, and with better data. What Ireally like about SAP HR is that it's an exacting solution. You have to put inaccurate data or it won't take it. Before we could make mistakes in data entryand not know it. But the SAP solution doesn't allow that.
Dean Health Systemis already reaping the benefits from SAPHR. For the first time, the company has computerized benefits documentation.Instant data access has sped service to Dean's doctors. Questions that oncerequired numerous phone calls and manual reviews of employees' files now getanswered following a few keystrokes. Integrated information storage lets Deankeep better track of data through its many branches.
Overall, SAP HR hasenabled Dean Health System to accomplish its goal: providing better and fasterhuman resources services, to an ever-expanding number of employees, withoutsignificantly increasing HR headcount.
In the future, Deanplans to provide computer access to all of its employees, bringing a number ofprojects online, including extensive satisfaction surveys for physicians,employees and patients; employment applications and performance reviews.
"Weare definitely looking to grow our presence in the market," Seering said,"and we are appropriate to diversify. It's hard to calculate return oninvestment in our business; but I will say that there is significant improvementin our operations. SAP has made us internally stronger. We have improved ourdata security and access to reliable information.
"Overall, weare very happy with SAP HR."

Well, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Gilles Berthoud Aravis touring saddle. It's my first tensioned leather saddle, so I have some questions that I thought I might ask, mostly related to how the leather contours itself over time.
My current saddle is a Fizik Arione, which is in just about the perfect position. It's not quite flat, having a slight dip in it. I'm not sure if the new saddle is flat or has a dip in it, but how high should I set it? Should it be so its top surface is at the same height as the dip in the Arione? Or, should I set it to where the wide sit bone area is? I do tend to move forward/backwards on the saddle, but sitting on the wide part is really the best place for me. Should I mount it just a hair higher to account for the contouring the saddle will do over time?
I've always put a slight nose-up tilt to my saddles, mainly to keep me from sliding forward. Would I set the leather saddle to the same angle, or less (to account for contouring)?
I don't know what a new leather saddle is supposed to feel like, but I know they're really hard initially. If it's too hard after a ride or two, should I loosen the tension a bit, then tighten it back once it contours itself (say, after a couple of hundred miles)? Is there any rule of thumb for what the correct tension should be? Over the years, will I need to increase the tension a bit, or does the leather tend to keep its tension?
Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to Glitter and Grace! I'm Sara and this is my sparkly space to share my love for fashion, nail polish, travel, glittery things, my kitty, life, and the gifts of Amazing Grace I have been given. I'm 27, a sunny southern California native that moved to Portland, Oregon for 4 years, and have recently relocated back to the sunshine in Newport Beach, CA.
I have a heart for young women and relationships and ultimately have the dream to heal marriages and lower the divorce rate in America. My hope is that this blog is more than a place you come to find fashion inspiration, but rather that you would experience beauty, grace, truth and healing from the words that you read. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love if you followed along with me.
Just some random facts about yours truly:
- I still sleep with a stuffed animal - his name is Gundy
- I love parallel parking. Few feelings rival the satisfaction of a perfect PP job
- I have 120 bottles of nail polish at this very moment
- My favorite color is gold glitter
- I'm a hugger
- My exercise of choice is walking. I could walk all day
- Give me a good country song and a warm summer night and you'll have yourself one blissful girl
- Rome is my favorite city
- I would get my motorcycle license if my dad would let me
- Speaking of parents, mine are amazing. I also have an awesome brother and a beautiful new sister-in-law
- Someday I'm going to have an incredible love story, I can feel it in my soul
- My closet (and nail polish collection) wouldn't exist without Forever 21
The most important thing about me is that I am adored by Jesus and saved by Grace (and He happens to be pretty enamored with you too ;)

Re: Canon 50mm f/1.4 sample images
Looks like you got a good 50mm F1.4 thats focus well on your camera.
I bought one last year spring and did not have luck with my two camera bodies focus issues as distance increase.
Sent it in three times to Canon Mississauga came back better but was not repaired properly.
Eventually Canon replaced it with a new one. Was much better but still had issues.
Sold it 2 days later with full warranty paper from canaon.
I had both bodies sent in for calibration too as all my other lens were focusing properly.
When the lens focused properly shot I got the lens was sharp from F2+

Powerhouses flexing their muscles. One tried, and failed. Marquee games with BCS implications. Nifty runs, amazing catches, bone-crushing hits.
The new rule moving the kickoff back 5 yards added a nice twist. Revoking the possession change clock rule was a gift from the Gods.
Really enjoyed Week 1. Maybe it's just me, but it somewhat had a bowl weekend feeling.
Nice job outta you, CFB - nice to have ya back!
The Big 12 had a pretty good showing this weekend:
-K-State played tough but lost late to Auburn
-Mizzou beat Illinois (always good to beat the Big Ten)
-Oklahoma destroyed North Texas
-Colorado beat Colorado St. in overtime
-A&M had a solid win
-Kansas with a blowout!
-Nebraska with a big win
Not all of it was pretty, though:
-Texas, after all their jawing about us blowing it against Kent State, barely eeks out a win over powerhouse Arkansas State
-Oklahoma State stayed competitive with Georgia for about a half, then fell apart
-Baylor was...Baylor
But, at least we didn't have a Top 5 team lose at home to D-IAA. I'm glad it happened to the Big Ten. They deserve it.
I was really impressed with K-State and CU's Hawkins. Without and astonishing number of critical penalties KSU would have won. I only saw a half of CU-CSU but Hawkins looked really good for an RS Frosh.
Oh, and I was at the first half of the KU game and they looked a lot better than I thought they would. No idea if CMU was just bad or if they are actually that good but they totally dominated today.
I really, really wish K-State would have beaten Auburn. They would have, had it not been for their mind-blowing penalty list. Getting frantic right at the end didn't help any, either.
On a separate note, since when did "Football Bowl Subdivision" and "Football Championship Subdivision" replace "D-1" and "D-1AA"? Having fancy names is all well and good, but those things are really cumbersome to say and easy to confuse verbally. I'm not a fan, and will continue to refer to them by their sensible names.

Normally I would gently chide someone over a misspelling that changes a word's meaning, lingui-nazi that I am, but in this case, it's amusingly appropriate. "Eke" is the verb you were looking for, but "eek" is what Texas had to have been saying!

I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

I believe the term you are looking for is "wow". It's not grammatically correct to add the "-za" at the end.

Police Stinger
The Police Stinger is a police car available in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The vehicle is based on the Albany Presidente, but features unique bodywork, a pearlescent paint job, and custom graphics. The front end has been slightly modified and features high intensity discharge headlamps as well as a different grille characterized by its chevron shaped bar in the middle. The car's emergency lighting comes in the form of both a slim light bar on the top as well as hidden lights in the front bumper as well as the rear window.
The car performs rather well, and despite having V10 badging from the Korean Mob variant, it has a notably different engine note comparable to that of the civilian Buffalo. As can be expected with a police vehicle, speed and handling are quite adequate.

Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
by Brett D. McLaughlin, Gary Pollice, Dave West
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great 'Head First' format, nice overview of OOAD concepts and suggestions. Was a review of many concepts for me, but it did provide some new insights, too.
Excellent book that truly teaches OO concepts. You start with some reasonable-looking code, and then work through plausible exercises to make it robust, flexible, and maintainable. Not just readable, but learnable. I am already applying the lessons to my job.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0596008678, Paperback)"Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design is a refreshing look at subject of OOAD. What sets this book apart is its focus on learning. The authors have made the content of OOAD accessible and usable for the practitioner."
--Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson Consulting
"I just finished reading HF OOA&D and I loved it! The thing I liked most about this book was its focus on why we do OOA&D-to write great software!"
"Hidden behind the funny pictures and crazy fonts is a serious, intelligent, extremely well-crafted presentation of OO Analysis and Design. As I read the book, I felt like I was looking over the shoulder of an expert designer who was explaining to me what issues were important at each step, and why."
Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design shows you how to analyze, design, and write serious object-oriented software: software that's easy to reuse, maintain, and extend; software that doesn't hurt your head; software that lets you add new features without breaking the old ones. Inside you will learn how to: Use OO principles like encapsulation and delegation to build applications that are flexible Apply the Open-Closed Principle (OCP) and the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) to promote reuse of your code Leverage the power of design patterns to solve your problems more efficiently Use UML, use cases, and diagrams to ensure that all stakeholders are communicating clearly to help you deliver the right software that meets everyone's needs.
By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design compresses the time it takes to learn and retain complex information. Expect to have fun, expect to learn, expect to be writing great software consistently by the time you're finished reading this!
