Haven't talked to too many Pentacostalists then?

The interwebs are your friend. Your mileage mar vary widely by state, but you should be able to find the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) for each individual school in each school district in which you are interested. In California, these are incredibly detailed and, by law, must be online. They will tell you a whole lot about the population of each school including ethnicity, language, academic performance, even physical fitness performance, etc. It will also tell you about educational status of the teachers, how current the textbooks are, physical maintenance of the buildings, and a whole lot more. If that doesn't give you what you need, contact the individual school district or the county Superintendent of Schools office. It's all public information.

Dear Coward, you are quite wrong. You have obviously never actually been around or in a car with gull-wing doors. It's all about where the hinge line is. You would be correct if the hinge line was located where the top of a conventional door is. However, that is never the case. The hinge line is far inboard toward the center of the roof. Thus when the door is opened, the bottom of the door moves out very little. Gull-wing door are actually more practical than conventional doors for parking lot ingress and egress. The main problem is they are more costly than conventional doors.

Or just take two hits of this shit. You'll hear things on that album you've never heard before.

I vote for rabid weasels.

My thought was, "This guy has the same name as the Alan Parsons Project guy." Studio musicians on an album I might know. Engineers? Meh!

There are three possibilities:

• The server sucks and three people can crash it
• Slashdotters think there might be photos of Jewel Staite, Summer Glau, and/or Natalie Portman
• TFA looks like it actually might be interesting (extremely rare)

The one number that gives you a quick read on an elementary school is the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced cost school meals. This number is readily available. While this is a socio-economic index, it is reliably inversely proportional to the amount of parental involvement you can expect to find in the school population; and parental involvement is one of the most important factors in elementary education. (Yes, my family is full of educators.) While there are obviously going to be exceptions to this, it is a good, quick measure of the school. If you have a choice of one school with 25% free and reduced and one with 85% free and reduced, pick the former. Far more of its kids will be going to college. Far fewer will have parents strung out on methamphetamine or what have you. Far fewer will have serious behavioral issues that disrupt education for everyone.

You can't do that with AT&T as a new subscriber any way that I can find. All their data plans require a 2 year commitment (i.e. contract) regardless of whether you get a phone subsidy or not. Presumably, once you come out the other end of that, you can bring your own iPhone to the party. I've done that with T-Mobile and my string of Blackberries. Another problem with AT&T here in the SF area is that there are so many iPhones that the network is saturated and just crawls.
