Pros – Co-wokers were mostly fun, there is a certain level of professional development here though it plateaus quickly.
Cons – This company is under constant pressure now from the Congress to change its practices, and is being investigated by the department of justice. They essentially lied to me about the job I would be doing when I signed up. They have no idea what they're doing now. This place is a dead end.
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of your ENTIRE executive team and start over. Terrible.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Lousy germinators still overwhelm crops
By TOM J. BECHMAN
Only 1% of some weed seeds will germinate in the year they're produced. Compare that to 95% for corn and soybeans. So why is weed control still such a big issue?
Bill Johnson, Purdue weed control specialist, says the real difference is that weeds play the numbers game. Weed dynamics work against the crop. Consider pigweed, for example. It's a small-seeded broadleaf weed. "One plant grown without competition can produce a million seeds," Johnson says.
Key Points
• Weeds compete through sheer, overwhelming numbers.
• Germination percentages for weeds are extremely low.
• Stop weeds by preventing them from going to seed.
An acre of pigweeds can produce 2 billion seeds. So if only 1% germinate in any given year, that's still a lot of pigweed plants! "If only 1% germinate, you've still got 20 million pigweed seedlings the next year. Compare that to 30,000 corn plants and 150,000 soybean plants. The odds are definitely stacked," says Tom Jordan, another Purdue weed control specialist.
Part of the take-home-message is that weeds can simply overwhelm a crop with seed numbers. So it's important not to have many plants going to seed.
Once seeds are in the soil, they can last for several years, depending upon the species. However, Jordan says the ability to survive 30 to 40 years in the soil and still germinate is exaggerated for some species.
Burcucumber: the nightmare weed
What can come up in July, or even perhaps by the first of August, and still produce a powerful, 35- to 40-foot vine by harvest? It's burcucumber.
One thing that makes it tough to control is its ability to emerge through multiple flushes during the season, notes Tom Bauman, Purdue weed control specialist.
Up until this year, options were 2,4-D, which isn't particularly effective against it, or Banvel, in corn, which works OK until a new flush arrives. Neither of these products have residual control.
A new product on the market, Peak from Syngenta, is available this year.
"Glyphosate will work, but only if the vines are up," Bauman explains.
Weeds win! Or so it appeared at this point. A huge number of plants germinating from seed choke this field. It was later cleared up with herbicide, but it was a lucky kill, weed specialists say.

Commercial Support for Freespire Linux
Linspire is offering commercial support for basic issues for its Freespire community version as of now.
Users of the free newcomer distribution Freespire can now purchase support tickets. Support is available for installation, network settings, mail setup and the installation of peripherals such as printers. A single support incident costs US$ 24.95, with discounts available for three or five tickets, and an annual support subscription available for US$ 149.95.
Thus far Linspire has not reacted to a query by Linux Magazine Online asking what exactly a customer can expect for a single support ticket (e.g. 30 minutes telephone support, or just an exchange of emails).
Thus far the support available has been 90-day support for Linspire's commercial Linux distribution. Users have had access to the typical tools, however, including a forum, document and a chat for Freespire. Commercial support is restricted to original and current Linspire Linux versions, and does not extend to the Apple platform. A list of support-capable issues and detailed list of required computer technology is available on the vendor's website.

Jill Harrington, executive vice president/c.e.o. of the Society of Incentive & Travel Executives, is leaving her position as of March 31.
Harrington has served as SITE's administrative head for more than two years.
"Right now, this is our most important challenge-any time you have a change in leadership, it's a big challenge," said Peggy Whitman, incoming SITE president and western regional sales manager, Marriott Incentive Awards. "We have just launched an executive search for someone to take Jill's place, and we're just hoping we find someone who's as good as she has been for the organization."
Whitman said SITE will attempt to work out a way by which the organization can involve Harrington in further strengthening its educational-delivery efforts.
"Education is Jill's first love, and we're looking for a way to continue benefiting from her expertise as an educator," Whitman said. "She has done much in her tenure with SITE to build awareness of the importance of incentive programs in the business world."
Whitman takes over as SITE president Jan 1. She will outline her plans for her one-year term of office in a comprehensive interview scheduled to appear in Corporate Meeting & Incentive's February issue.

I bought the complete speaker kit of Tuxedocivic's SEOS design, the Fusion-10 Max (speaker kit product page, forum thread of design).
This build thread is pretty redundant to Java's, but I'll use this to document what I'm doing, any tips that may help anyone as noobish as I am, and to ask questions and check things like the crossover.
With few DIY skills, I'm nervous, but I'm game!
I've been interested in attaining the dynamics I've heard in even some mediocre commercial theaters that I wasn't getting at home. I've read Floyd Toole's and Alton Everest's books, measured impulse response in my room, calibrated my subs, measured distortion in the speakers with compression tests.
I maintain a list of High SPL Speakers (AVS thread, spreadsheet), so I'm interested in being able to listen at higher SPL than the 94 dB my speakers poop out at (and they sound harsh by that point, and maybe the receiver is overtaxed too) with low distortion.
Ironically, it's my wife who often turns up the volume, or asks to turn it up (yes, she's fantastic). I wince a bit on the loud scenes, and when the movie is done, I check the receiver at the back of the room, and I'm aghast at the level we were at: -8. No wonder I was wincing. We're being inflicted with mega compression and distortion!
Enough was enough-- that's no decent way to live. On the one hand, there are attraction forces like the excitement over the SEOS designs, their affordability as DIY and with the discounts Erich get us. And the great body of documentation that's growing (thank you Java!). On the other hand, negative forces pushing me away from other products were the CHT speaker compromises (smaller horn), my limited finances, and eD going out of business. Econowave high sensitivity designs were a possability, but it was painful to wade through. Probably a Pi speakers kit would've been the only other option.
I was in post-Christmas glow. It's really cold out in North Dakota. The decision was made for me. Out of my hands. Destiny. Plus, we deserve better, dammit!
Fusion-10 Max
- Horn: SEOS-12
- Compression Driver: Denovo DNA-350 (B&C DC-250 clone)
- Woofer: Eminence Delta 10A 10"
- Cabinet: 1 cubic foot, ported (3 slots)
- Sensitivity: 98dB
- 55-18k Hz
- Crossover: 1150 Hz
- Power Handling: 200w 325w peak
The speaker (photo at right is of Java's, for now) sits in the middle of the pack versus the rest of the kitted SEOS designs (comparison spreadsheet), which is probably why I picked it. In all actuality, the Karma-10 would have been fine, as I don't expect to exceed reference levels in my small theater. I'm sure you all know the feeling, where you're afraid to speculate or regret the decision to get the cheapest model?
Upgrade From
Paradigm Performance line:
- Titan v3 bookshelves (replace with SEOS) (86db sensitivity)
- CC-170 center (replace with SEOS) (87db sensitivity)
Setup & Room
- Receiver: Pioneer 1014 ~110w
- Surrounds: Paradigm ADP-170 (small dipoles)
- Subwoofer: SVS PB-10 & a borrowed CV (yes, a subwoofer addition is in my future!).
- Room: 11.5' x 24' theater (12' listening position), non-sealed
- Acoustic Treatments: six 2' x 4' 2" panels
- Display: Epson 8500 Projector
- Screen: 109" 16:9 DIY blackout cloth
- Measurement: external soundcard, Galaxy CM-140 meter, REW
Use of SEOS Pair
I'm going to try phantom center for now, as I don't have an acoustically-transparent project screen (yet). The best place for the sub is centered at front under the screen (as a speaker stand for the center. So I would have to move the sub to accommodate a taller center speaker. From what I read, the pair should give a great wide sweet spot that will be fine for the three seats across.
I intend to toe them in to crossfire at the opposite seats, as per Bill Waslo's article on the setup of constant directivity speakers so that through time (distance)-intensity trading, equal sound level is delivered to the left and right seats. Crossover at 100 Hz (although I'll have to measure to see if this should change).

The first-floor Chapel of St. Michael, dating from the early 11th century and accessed via a narrow spiral staircase to the right of the narthex. The chapel is laid out just like the narthex below, but has a much higher ceiling (12.5m) and more light. It is the strongest part of the church and looks much like a castle with its strong masonry and arrow-slit windows (the ones visible from the west front). This chapel served not only as a spiritual sanctuary but also a place of refuge and defense during invasions, which were fairly frequent in the Middle Ages.

Star Trek – The Animated Series was produced by Filmation in association with Paramount Television and ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1974 on NBC, airing a total of twenty-two half-hour episodes. An early Filmation proposal for this series had children assigned to each of the senior officers as cadets, including a young Vulcan for Mr. Spock. According to interviews with Norm Prescott, Paramount offered Roddenberry a substantial sum of money to abandon creative control of the project and let Filmation proceed with their "kiddy space cadet" idea. Roddenberry refused. Filmation would later develop the idea into its own original live action program, Space Academy, in 1977.

Kevin, It's interesting to note that you put up one of the S.T. episodes that dealt with reversing the aging process. I'm going to assume you're not aware of the fact that these have been several research papers written dealing with this topic. 1. Genetics: Two researchers stumbled upon a discovery that will allow us to live 2 to 3 times as long as normal. 2. Two Japanese researchers have found a way to lengthen the telomeres of each cell which would effectively double our lifespans while reversing the aging process in most cellular tissues.
So, let's do the math … 76 times 2 = 152 times 2 = 304 … and, possibly, 76 times 3 = 228 times 2 = 456 … AND, if you drink one thing daily, you could possibly add 40 years to those numbers ! And, look and feel young as well !! — JT —

Japanese >RA Sushi Bar Restaurant
474 Broadway, San Diego, CA | Directions 9210132.715765 -117.160626
Food: 11am-11pm Daily
Late Night Menu: 11pm-midnight
Bar: Open until 1am or later
Neighborhoods: Central, Horton Plaza, Central San Diego
I went to the RA Sushi bar a few weeks ago and LOVED IT! The service was excellent and the environment was fun for 6:30 on tuesday! They have great happy hour specials and the sushi is so fresh! I will definitely be going back soon!
A bit high on price, but cool atmosphere, especially with a night on the town. Great place to have drinks and eat with a group of friends
Not bad but Pricey – the service was great and the food was good too, nothing out of the ordinary but good. One negative aspect was the price; I thought it was too pricey for the amount of food. But for the atmosphere and location i guess that is what it is.
bad spot for date – Stay clear of this sushi place. Sushi place on washington is a more private place for date
Sushi restaurant and lounge features Asian fusion dishes and sleek, club-like decor. – Washed in red by overhead lamps and stained woods, the sleek décor bears a hip Asian feel. Expect an Asian fusion menu and artful sushi, including specialty rolls like the Tootsy Maki, Lone Star Roll and lotus-root-topped Viva Las Vegas. Enjoy a specialty cocktail or happy hour in the lounge.
High Marks
"The place was packed (with mostly attractive people, always a plus to have some eye candy), but the service was still excellent (and of course we got sauced)." (lenabean82, Citysearch user)
"I loved their innovative sushi rolls, like the gojira roll (shrimp tempura, spicy mayo, red beet, and spinach tempura flakes) and the tootsy maki which included a rich eel sauce." (phlordsfo, Citysearch user)
Low Marks
"Interesting rolls... not sure if you really get your moneys worth." (5StarReview, Citysearch user)
"Our server seemed to forget about us as she tended to a large party behind us, and the food came all at once, on several small plates." (jomarkumar423, Citysearch user)
Fun place to look at, still not my favorite place... – The servers are all pretty cool, funky tattoos and hair, very hip place down town. Park at Horton Plaza and validate parking there and walk to RA. Interesting rolls... not sure if you really get your moneys worth.
Overrated!! Bad sushi – This place was so overrated! Everyone in San Diego was saying this is the best place. Not even! I'm from LA and i have had my fair share of awesome sushi but it placed sucked. Our server was the dumbest girl i have ever met. She put our drinks in and forgot to ring in 2 of ours. We were a party of 4. Come on...she then forgot to put in our soup and salads. Every time we needed a refill or something we seriously had to ask 3 times until we got it. The sushi was so gross, the fish and crab was imitation. We also order 4 shots and she forgot those then when she put them in they took forever! The bartender ending up bringing them over and was like "Uh have you been waiting on these?" The drinks were weak, small, warm and not worth the money. Avoid this place.
perfect for happy hour – I first went to RA in Tempe, AZ on Mill Ave and had the best time ever. I was visiting my friend Colleen (she's from NY and I trust her taste implicitly) and she swore by their happy hour. The place was packed (with mostly attractive people, always a plus to have some eye candy), but the service was still excellent (and of course we got sauced). I had a similar experience in SD, as with AZ the happy hour had a few more options than most sushi spots (i mean how many california rolls can one girl eat?) and the service was fantastic. I have found a few more places with better sushi, but for happy hour I totally recommend checking out RA (pinapple wontons are a must, yum!).
You can find better sushi else where – My sisters, wife and I went to check out Ra Sushi last Sunday during their "reverse happy hour." Since it was the holidays, we figured we wouldn't have to fight a line, and would finally get a chance to check this place out. Sure enough, there wasn't much of a line, and we were seated immediately. The aesthetics of the place were nice, but that's pretty much the highlight of this trip. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered the spicy tuna (bland), the lobster and crab roll (couldn't taste the lobster, almost a glorified california roll), the ultimate shrimp tempura roll (which tasted remarkably like a california roll), and the tempura coconut shrimp (actually decent). While we did get happy hour prices, I still feel that it wasn't worth the effort of maneuvering around downtown. Our service was off as well. Our server seemed to forget about us as she tended to a large party behind us, and the food came all at once, on several small plates (instead of one large one as it is with most places). Our entire table was taken up, which was only have as annoying as our server ignorning us. For a true sushi buff, stay away from this place. This place is a true "chain restaurant", and is more of a place to be seen, than it is to eat.
Recommend for a fun night out – This place was great. The music was fun but really random and the food was very good. The edamame and tempura shrimp were an excellent start and the California rolls were good for dinner. We finished the meal off with fried banana and kahlua and it was great! We all enjoyed dinner. The music in the bar area was a bit too loud.

retina, and the cochlea (inner ear) [1][2]. It is characterized by three main symptoms: encephalopathy (which can include headache, mild memory losses, personality changes, and confusion); sensorineural hearing loss; and vision loss. Most people do not have all the symptoms of Susac syndrome at the beginning of their illness but develop symptoms over the course of several years. Susac syndrome affects women more than men and the age of onset is usually between 20 and 40 years. The cause of this condition is still unknown. Corticosteroids, antiplatelets, anticoagulation, and cyclophosphamide have been frequently used to treat Susac syndrome.[3] However, the extent to which individuals respond to treatment is not clear.[1] Improvement may occur spontaneously although in some cases there may be residual dysfunction.[1]Susac syndrome is an autoimmune condition that affects very fine blood vessels in the brain,

BUD'S ICE CREAM … I find myself reading obituaries a lot lately. It's not really morbid. Just where I'm at. Focused on providing comfort, not a cure, for my dad as his life winds to a close. So I find it interesting to see what marks people leave on the world around them. Or maybe just how the newspapers mark those who served us … Alvin Edlin isn't a name anyone outside San Francisco would remember. I'd moved into Noe Valley in the early Seventies. Bounced around a bit until I found a middling railroad flat on Noe St. between 24th and Elizabeth. Window on the street. Loft on the backporch. Nice neighbors on most sides. When Barbara found her own place, I started subletting out the two front rooms – shared bath and toilet, but no kitchen – which paid a big chunk of the rent … Noe Valley was an old Irish neighborhood – Diamond St. had a green stripe for a centerline. And a pretty conservative pocket in a generally liberal city. But urban flight and gay gentrification were turning a marginal outlier into a regional gem – cheap rooms, lots of artists and street people, coffeehouses and cafes springing up … When Alvin Edlin bought Bud's Ice Cream corner hole-in-the-wall on 24th and Castro, at the bottom of the hill where the bus lines crossed, nobody much noticed. Bud's Ice Cream was lame. So Alvin decided to try a different tack. He'd had a roustabout life. Played third base to Joe Dimaggio's shortshop on the San Francisco Seals. He figured he'd try a different niche. To use real ingredients and make ice cream that tasted good as home-made. Pretty soon word got around and people came from all over the City to stand in long lines waiting for gobs of superfat ice delight with fudge and walnuts and chocolate espresso bean nibs … I once backpacked several days into the rugged Ventana Wilderness inland from Big Sur and hiked into the back entrance of Tassajara Zen Center. It just so happened to be Buddha's birthday. And I was treated like a king. Given a royal bath, no charge, in the hot springs and ushered in to see the abbot -- such an auspicious day. I imagined all kind of zen koans emanating from his eminence. But when I told him I'd come from Noe Valley in the City, all he could talk about was "Bud's Ice Cream." Maybe not spiritual enlightenment but a kind of commercial wisdom. And social panache … With a single stroke of class, Alvin upped the ante on quality over quantity and turned Bud's in Noe Valley into one of the City's least-kept secrets … Thanks, Alvin. Many a friend I met and partied with on 24th and Castro in front of your store, longing for dessert.
RAINBOW FAMILY … I'm already grieving that I'll miss the gathering this year. Up in Wyoming. Jim Rosenthal from down in Naturita Canyon is on his way up. As is Mary and the kids – we met at the gathering up in Oregon about a decade ago. So it's kind of our anniversary … But no celebrations this year. First things first. I have to take care of my dad. He's dying. Out here in California. Becoming more and more the little child, as the brain tumor blocks synapses in his frontal lobes. And it's a great blessing that I can be with him, and still do my commissioner work by phone and email … Even if I don't get welcomed home this year.
WEEKLY QUOTA … "Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time." –Comedian George Carlin, dead earlier this week.
SOLSTICE … I was far from Lone Cone this summer solstice. But being on duty 24 hours a day seven days a week takes its toll. And the Pathways Hospice people, who are assisting me in providing care for dad as he declines, have been doing things to help me cope as well … So, when I asked, they found me a sweet young woman, Chrissie, to watch my dad for four hours on Saturday as the Sun stood still for the longest day of the year … My poet buddy Kirk Lumpkin of the East Bay's Ecology Center had organized a Solstice Salmon Celebration at the Farmer's Market at Civic Center Park. And he'd invited me to read. So I drove mad dash on scorcher freeways up to Berserkeley. It's an hour's drive on MapQuest but after a late start, a wrong turn in Milpitas, and confusion over a phone number I'd forgot and had to cell phone instructions to find while I was driving, I barely made it in time to park the car backstage and rush on after Dr. Julia Lamont's pleas for restoration of the coast's animal totem, there in salmon nation … Bringing greetings from the Colorado mountains, I did a guest shot reading Skinning the Elk, honoring the totem animal of our mountain clime … And who should amble by but one of my seminary buddies who I hadn't seen in 40 years. Gus Guinan. Then I got to trade addresses and hugs with fellow performer and poet professor from Laney College whom I hadn't seen in 35 years, Rafael Jesús González … And for the finale, I danced the last song of the set of Kirk's band, Wild Buds, together with my wild stilt-walking friend Shawn Dubin (whose 70th birthday it was) – the two of us carrying on in front of the crowd like paleohippie dervishes … And then it was the witching hour. Like Cinderella I was on deadline. And I had to mad dash through onramps, signal lights, mergers and traffic slowdowns to return only reasonably late to relieve Chrissie, who was doing crossword puzzles with my dad. I gave her a box of cookies. I got my dad a few cherries to munch. And I took a long nap … A great day!

Being part of this school has been an amazing experience. When you have such a great community and so many parents involved you know you are going to a great school that your student will excel in! The teachers are all amazing and really take the time to learn about the students and teach them according to their learning style.
we are moving and are going to miss this school, the teachers and special ed department(you know who you are) are the most caring and helpful we have ever met, the children love the school and that is what it is about cannot say enough
FSK is an amazing jewel! My son has had such wonderful warm, dedicated, creative, organized, and inspiring teachers at Key. This year, the PTA has brought a year-long art curriculum called, Art in Action, into the classroom (K-5.) This means that all of our students will be studying 12 different artists each year and will be introduced to new art mediums such as charcoal and watercolors while learning how to create their own ancient cave paintings and works of art based off of Picasso, Van Gough, and the many other great masters. Overall, FSK has a strong sense of community that feels very inclusive.
I am a parent of 2nd & 4th graders at FSK. After going on 14 school tours, FSK was my favorite. I was impressed with the principal, teachers and parents back then and continued to be amazed at their dedication to the students. I appreciate the principal, who is takes time to listen to parents' concerns and encourages parents make teacher requests for the next year. The teachers are wonderful! They differentiate their lessons so my boys are challenged and enjoy their classes. Also, they have worked to include technology in the classroom with electronic touch whiteboards and a shared set of classroom laptops. There is a large special needs population, which develops empathy in all students. The school also has very extensive after school offerings - Beacon (free for 2nd-5th), CDC (sliding scale) & CYC (fee-based). A huge plus is the tuition-based Mandarin program that runs 4 days a week onsite. There is also guitar lessons taught by parent & teacher volunteers. One of my main reservations of this school was the early start time, but have found it to be beneficial to start the day early and get out early. Overall, we are extremely happy that we are here.
I had a good feeling about Francis Scott Key from my first visit, and it turned out to be right on. The school, from the top down, sets high standards for leadership, education, citizenship, family and friendship. The principal, Mr Wong, is a strong leader, and the kids like and respect him. The teachers are excellent. The school is warm and inclusive. While volunteering at lunch recently I saw an older student stop her friend in the lunch room so she could sing her a song. She had hurt her friend's feelings and the song was her way to apologize. It was a humble act of kindness that tells me Key is teaching our kids well.
FSK is such a wonderful school. The teachers are fantastic and are involved in EVERY aspect of your childs learning. Their dedication shows in all they do and they are supported through the leadership of Mr. Wong. It is so nice to see a Principal who participates and is always there to greet you. They have a great PTA who are dedicated to making FSK a community by funding programs and putting on really fun communtiy events. The school also has a great After School Learning Program. FSK truly is the hidden gem of SFUSD!
This is a terrific school, with high academic standards, fabulous teachers, and great new facilities. The parents are very involved, and new programs are being developed all the time. There is a terrific on-site afterschool program with Mandarin classes and judo, chess, guitar, etc. There is a great sense of community with most of the students leaving in the neighborhood. The school has an exceptional special ed program as well as many extra activities for gifted kids.Overall, exceptional school.
My son is an inclusive student at FSK. FSK was my first choice after visiting more than 20 public schools at SF. As my son gets older (3rd grader this year), he shared more fun activities that he did at school with me. And he LOVE going to school every day. All his teachers not only are very caring, but communicate frequently with me to address my son's certain needs. Most importantly, I heard so many good things from other parents about teachers at FSK. I think this is because our principle, Mr. Wong, sets a high standard for teachers and himself. Mr. Wong is very approachable, and a great communicator as well. In addition to teachers, all staff, paraprofessionals are great, too. No wonder my son can't wait to get back to school after long summer break each year.
Our son started Kindergarten at FSK last year and is now attending first grade. Wanted to wait one year before writing a review. We listed FSK as #1 choice in the lottery. Everything we expected from the tour turned out to be true. You and your child feel welcomed, teachers are there because they love to teach, great PTA/Principal relationship, good diversity of students, wonderful Mandarin after school programs. Child comes home happy and eager to tell us about what he learned that day. Oh... the remodeling is pretty much done... new play structure... bathrooms... yard... classroom... etc...
Friendly. Inclusive. Academic. Superb test scores. Best after-school program in the city. Principal of the Year. Teacher of the Year. Great activities. Strong PTA and School Site Council. Second to none and getting even better!
I was not sure if I should send my boy whom turned 5 this Oct 2010 and I was able to speak to the principal before my son started kindergarten and had my questions answered by the principal. When we started school, I feel all my worries are gone since my son enjoys going to school so much that he wants to go to school on weekends too. The teachers both during school time and afters school are all excellent. Also I feel welcomed by the PTA and the whole school. Also there are mandarin after school program and chess and cooking and gardening classes.
I love this school. Having moved from an excellent school out of state I was nervous about having my kids join the sfusd. We were placed at F S Key and we were so lucky to get into such a wonderful school. From day one it was obvious what a welcoming community this school has. The PTA is very involved and super friendly. The principle is fabulous. The kids like and respect him and it shows by their actions. This year my younger son was able to start kindergarten and begs to go to school. I feel both my boys are getting a great education in an excellent learning enviroment. The on going remodel is just icing on the cake.
This is my son's second year at FKS now as a first grader. I am so glad that the lottery placed us here. Last year, when my son was a kindergartener, I was really worried that he would have a hard time in school. He is a whirlwind of activity and energy and I was concerned that an overworked public school teacher would find him too distracting for the class. However his teacher actually embraced who he was and still managed to easily get him into the rhythm of learning and structure. She was awesome. Now he is in first grade with another amazing teacher. But it's not just great teachers that make this a great school. It's a great principal (Principal of the Year), teachers, librarian, parents, kids and programs!
Excellent Leadership (Principal) Excellent and caring teachers and staff. Students are academically challenged and taught to respect and care for each other.
Both of my daughters goto this school and i have nothing to worry about cause you have the Principal of the year Mr.Wong and all of his teachers are great and actually take there time in teaching there kids.Great support from the PTA and parents too!
My Kindergarten nephew has settle into this school like no other! He loves it. He knows everyone and everyone knows him. Can't ask for a better transition from preschool!
FSK is a very special school and community. We feel so lucky to have our eldest in Kindergarten. Amazing Principal and teachers -- great PTA working to improve on an already great school. Resources for the kids -- we love it, love it, love it.
the teachers are great, good location, large yard open on weekends, excellent after school care. it was my 1st choice school!
Teachers put a lot of effort in teaching the students. Parents get up to date info on students academic progress consistently. Very engaging school, love the principal, Mr Wong, teachers and the PTA. FSK has a good curriculum, esp. their learning programs in school enhances my child's academic and computer skills. I have seen a lot of improvement from my child and it's really fun to hear what's been taught daily from FSK.
Best school I could wish for my daughter! Stuff is incredible and professional. You should see how kids' eyes shine when they see their principal Mr. Wong, how excited they are every morning to see their teachers and friends! Great school for the kids with special needs (not to mention that Mr. Wong's second degree is for Kids with the special needs). I would highly recommend this school to all parents! No exceptions!

I noticed the Delta toilets at HD. It looks like the two tubes on the outside of the bowl that feed the priming jet are different sizes. I've seen one tube or duel tubes the same size, but never different size tubes. Do you know what that's about?
Follow up on the Delta toilet after about 1 month - The flush has been fantastic with very good bowl cleaning and so far I'm very satisfied. The only thing I did not like was the seat which I replaced. Home Depot has now lowered the price to $169 for this model.
I noticed the Delta toilets at HD. It looks like the two tubes on the outside of the bowl that feed the priming jet are different sizes. I've seen one tube or duel tubes the same size, but never different size tubes. Do you know what that's about?
It's also not a great thing that significant parts (like the unique flapper for both toilets and the fill valve for the Corrente) remain out of stock on HD online, the only retail source for them. The fill valve for the Prelude is available, but that's less important since it is essentially generic, you can replace it with a Korky 528 MaxPerformance or other modern adjustable fill valve. The other parts you can't.)
This appears to me to be what we generically call a "builders special". In other words a cheap toilet that builders can put in spec houses and the type that many plumber make a pretty good living replacing after the new owner has been in the house for 2 or 3 months and has grown tired of the poor performance. Uninformed homeowners are often temped to buy these at the box store because the are cheap and to the uninformed, toilets are all the same. The really sad thing is, a basic Toto Drake costs only a little more.
As far as parts go at home depots website they have several of the parts online:
flapper - http://tinyurl.com/bfxvvon
fill valve - http://tinyurl.com/av4a6gq
toilet tank bracket - http://tinyurl.com/ar5b5ve
I think it's a safe bet that Delta will stand behind the product: that's their reputation. How long they continue in the market is another question, but they're a company that I like, so I wish them luck at that price point. If someone is going to buy their toilet at the Big Box, I would just as soon see this manufacturer get the business as any other that sells there, assuming that they make a decent product.
The problem with the parts is that when you go to the HD web site, they appear to be available, then when you click on the part it shows "Out of stock online", and online is the only place you can get the parts, other than the manufacturer.
Well it definitely looks unique i have to say, I would be a tad bit worried over repair parts because this looks like a whole new style. Would like to here how it works

@SAMC - "I noticed the Delta toilets at HD. It looks like the two tubes on the outside of the bowl that feed the priming jet are different sizes. I've seen one tube or duel tubes the same size, but never different size tubes. Do you know what that's about?"
I don't know, but I will say it flushes well. I haven't had to use a plunger or clean the bowl at all yet.
Well I maybe sorry one day when I have to buy a fill valve or other parts and if they quit making these toilets, but as long as it lasts many years I deem that as acceptable. Before I bought this toilet I bought a cheap Home Depot brand 1.6 gallon on sale for $50 for the kids bathroom and it was the best flushing toilet I had before getting the Delta. I've got one more ~3.0+ gallon Gerber to get rid of and I'd really like to replace the round bowl home depot toilet for no other reason than I hate the round bowl.
The fact that this thread has been going on since late January and Terry hasn't bothered to comment on it tells me all I need to know about this toilet....!!
Hi Guys, new to this post. After doing a lot of reading on toilets it seems like you all know what you're talking about.
I need to buy a new toilet, maybe 3 total in the near future, I currently have Mansfields and the kids are constantly clogging them up. I was looking at the Kohler Cimarron but the flush videos I saw and the complaints changed my mind. Then I was looking at the AS Cadet 3 but after reading your thoughts that the factory possibly moved to Mexico and the quality has gone down I changed my mind again. Then I was looking at the newer Delta Prelude but it sounds like the verdict is still out on this model. I would like to get a Toto Drake model, but I have small bathrooms and I would like to get a comfort height seat and Toto Drake models seem to only offer the comfort height seat in the elongated models.
So....I have a few questions,
1) Are there any more thoughts on the Delta Prelude. Has anyone tried one out for a period of time? Are the parts yet available on HD website?
2) Am I correct on the Toto info? I also read that the Toto's elongated are 28" deep on this site, but the specs I have read show the Drake models at 28.75" or 29" inches, which is correct?
3) Is it worth buying the AS Cadet 3 with the possibility of replacing parts soon after buying?
4) Do you have any other suggestions that might work for me?
Thanks for all your help from reading on this site, by far the best info that I've found, and I've been doing a lot of research.
Okay, a couple of thoughts. You are correct that the Original Drake, CST743S (round 1.6) CST743E (round 1.28gpf) CST744S (elongated 1.6) and CST744E (elongated 1.28) only come in ADA height on the elongated bowl, not the round. The ADA Height original Drake is going to be model number CST744SL (elongated 1.6) or CST744EL (elongated 1.28). The bowl part is the same, the gallonage per flush just depends on the guts in the tank, so you have an E tank and an S tank for the different gallonages. The E works fine, and saves money. But you should feel comfortable just seeking the best deal.
And the Original Drake is a great value -- amazing flush, decent bowl cleaning, high quality porcelain, low defect rate.
There's also a new-style 1.28 tank available for a little more money. Here's a photo: CST744ELN is the model. "N" for "new tank". http://www.totousa.com/ProductDetail...productid=1276 (Toto doesn't have a spec sheet for the ELN up on the web site; just the parts list.)
Unless you have a door that's going to get in the way, I'm here to tell you from experience that you should measure out where the bowl will protrude to and if you think it will fit and you can fit past it that you will be happier with that elongated bowl. I put a round in a small bathroom to save the space and I realized that I should have just put in the elongated, which I put in a different bathroom. You sit in the same spot; you just have the comfort of a little more toilet in front of you.
On the specs, the best way is to go to the totousa.com web site and look. The newest spec sheet will always be on that site; other vendors don't always (or ever) update the sheet they are displaying, so that's the best place to start. Here's the link to the current spec sheet on the ADA version: http://www.totousa.com/Portals/0/Pro...4_CST744EL.pdf As you can see, it's 28" from front to back. Then there is 1.25 inches behind the tank when mounted on a (standard) 12" rough-in. So 29.25 inches from the finished wall (not the baseboard) if the centerline of the flange is exactly 12" from the finished wall (not the baseboard).
On your other questions, it does look like the Delta parts are available on the HD web site. The fill valve for the Corrente and the Prelude are both available online at the HD web site. The Prelude one is a Fluidmaster that you could probably replace with a Korky 528MP, the Corrente one is a unique one for $39. The flapper is also available online from HD; it's a unique size so you can't use a Korky.
I would pass on the Cadet 3; there's just no real reason to buy it and we still see complaints about quality control. Even recently, a guy who was buying AS toilets had to take one out because the rim holes hadn't properly been drilled/formed, which he didn't discover until he realized that it wasn't flushing right. I have never ever heard of that happening with a Toto.

Thanks for your help, I had to buy the Delta Prelude because of the shower door being to close to the toilet. That 1 extra inch on the Toto would have hit the toilet. I'll let you know how it worked out after it is installed.
How's about you should have stuck with the Kohler or the TOTO in the first place. At least they use basic toilet tank repair parts instead of this Chinese delta junk. I prefer Kohler or TOTO but I have never seen a Delta toilet in action as I am usually using a TOTO which is in my house. But then again, some fill valves will last awhile, the TOTO Drake in the basement, has it's original fill valve from 2005. But the flapper is probably going to get ready to go soon. some pieces are falling off but no leaks.
If you need to go with a new toilet, go with a TOTO!

The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents has updated the guideline recommendations on integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimens for HIV-infected, treatment-naive individuals. To view the revised recommendations, please click here.
(Last updated:2/12/2013; last reviewed:2/12/2013)
Adverse effects have been reported with use of all antiretroviral (ARV) drugs; they are among the most common reasons for switching or discontinuing therapy and for medication nonadherence.1 However, with the use of newer ARV regimens, rates of treatment-limiting adverse events in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive patients enrolled in randomized trials appear to be declining and are generally now occurring in less than 10% of study participants. However, because most clinical trials have a relatively short follow-up duration, the longer term complications of ART can be underestimated. In the Swiss Cohort study, during 6 years of follow-up, the presence of laboratory adverse events was associated with higher rates of mortality, which highlights the importance of adverse events in overall patient management.2
Several factors may predispose individuals to adverse effects of ARV medications. For example, compared with men, women (especially ART-naive women with CD4 counts >250 cells/mm3) seem to have a higher propensity to develop Stevens-Johnson syndrome, rashes, and hepatotoxicity from nevirapine (NVP)3-5 and have higher rates of lactic acidosis due to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).6-8 Other factors may also contribute to the development of adverse events:
The therapeutic goals of ART include achieving and maintaining viral suppression and improving immune function, but an overarching goal should be to select a regimen that is not only effective but also safe. This requires consideration of the toxicity potential of an ARV regimen, as well as the individual patient's underlying conditions, concomitant medications, and prior history of drug intolerances.
In addition, it should be appreciated that, in general, the overall benefits of ART outweigh its risks and that some conditions (e.g., anemia, cardiovascular disease [CVD], renal impairment), may be more likely in the absence of ART.15,16
Information on adverse events of ARVs is outlined in several tables in the guidelines. Table 13 provides clinicians with a list of the most common and/or severe known ARV-associated adverse events by drug class. The most common adverse effects of individual ARV agents are summarized in Appendix B, Tables 1–6.
(See Appendix B for additional information listed by drug. Empty spaces in the table may mean no reported cases for the particular side effect or no data are available for the specific ARV drug class)

Bossa Conference 2008: Ubuntu for UMPCs
Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded (UME) will be out soon, and Linux Magazine Brazil had a preview at Bossa Conference 2008, presented by Adilson Oliveira from Canonical. UME is targeted at connectivity devices, such as UMPCs and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices), but not at cell phones, as they are "too closed", according to Oliveira.
Canonical's UME tests are currently being undertaken on a Samsung Internet tablet device that originally had Windows running. The first stable version of UME will be out in May, and will be based on Hardy Heron, with packages directly derived from the official ones. At first it will be available only for x86 processors, which is why it needs notebook-like hardware. However, it is completely focused on touchscreen interfaces, with its current GUI roughly based on Nokia's Maemo.
The web browser is based on Firefox and all applications are displayed full screen by default. The test hardware sports many connectivity interfaces, with a video-out jack, multiple USB jacks, bluetooth and wireless, and is powered by a 900MHz Celeron processor with 1GB RAM.
UME enjoys strong support by Intel, and in the USA there are many OEMs and ODMs ready to include the modified distribution in their products. However, there are still some major hindrances. Connectivity devices are not meant to be switched off, but suspended instead – and returning from this state still takes longer than users would tolerate. Also, boot times – which, once again, should never happen – are too long, and the use of LinuxBIOS in the devices is not possible, as manufacturers provide their specifications and UME can only conform to those.
UME will follow "regular" Ubuntu's release schedule, i.e. a new version every six months. Ubuntu software packages not specifically made for UME can also be installed, but their interfaces will actually be just like in a desktop, instead of following the mobile interface guidelines.

Foreign trade, housing and jobs
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 5:53pm EST
This week on BGOV's Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:
- Now that the Presidential election is behind us, it's time to get back to work. With new members of congress coming to town in January how will that impact the President's traditional "Diplomatic" approach to trade? We'll also compare the President's past performance on trade to what BGOV see in the future. BGOV economic analyst Ken Monahan and Trade Policy Analyst Caitlin Webber will explain.
- When referencing the economy, talk typically turns to housing and jobs. The most recent jobs report released shortly after the election showed an increase in employment. A true increase could point to a turn in the economy benefiting the housing industry, or would it? Senior Economic Analyst Dr. Nela Richardson is on the program to help us truly understand the truth behind the numbers.
|Allen Scott (moderator) specializes in customer on boarding and training at Bloomberg Government. Allen previously worked at Arbitron, Inc. where he served in a variety of roles from customer service to sales operations manager. Prior to Arbitron, Allen worked in radio for several years in the Washington and Baltimore areas. Most recently he spent six years at 99.1 HFS as co-host and news director.
|Ken Monahan is an economic analyst. Before joining Bloomberg, he was an international economist and acting team lead in the Office of Trade Policy Analysis at the Commerce Department's International Trade Administration. He holds a B.A. in economics from the University of New Hampshire, a masters in central and eastern European studies from Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, and a masters in international relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
|Caitlin Webber is a trade policy analyst at Bloomberg Government. She had worked in congressional affairs and she covered foreign policy as a reporter for Congressional Quarterly. Webber holds a B.A. in government and Spanish from Sweet Briar College and an M.S. in comparative politics from the London School of Economics.
|Nela Richardson is an economic analyst with Bloomberg Government. She was a research economist at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before joining Bloomberg. Richardson was also a senior economist at Freddie Mac, a researcher at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, and an adjunct professor of finance at Johns Hopkins.
