Need tools to own these shoes! :(
"I initially loved the look of these shoes and search for the best price which I found here at DSW. The shoes are gorgeous and have gotten a lot of compliments, however, they are already falling apart! I have worn them maybe 5 times and the chains have broken 3 out of the 5 times I've worn them. Thank goodness I had jewelry tools to mend the chains! They have also lost a number of the gems on the shoes and I haven't even had them for a month!! Beautiful shoe!! :) Poor Quality!! :("

pretty shoes
"the gold chains and embellishment on these sandals were a little much. I returned them because I thought there was too much metal on the shoe and in the summer would turn colors and irritate my skin after long hours of wear."

Posted on 02/11/2013 8:21:25 PM PST by chessplayer
Bullied 11-year-old in coma update: A Pennsylvania boy, who was involved in a schoolyard fight with bullies at his school weeks ago is still in a medically-induced coma after his condition took a turn for the worse. Parents of the boy are working with police and school officials to learn why the alleged attackers got off easy and one boy is fighting for his life.
Bailey O'Neil, a 6th grader was allegedly beaten up by several students and was left with a broken nose and concussion.
Along with the fact that a bullied 11-year-old boy is in a coma; one of his attackers reportedly only received a two-day suspension.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
You hardly ever see this happen at homeschools
And schools have absolutely no idea how to deal with bullies.
In that respect, it's kind of like teaching math, English, or history. They don't know how to do those things either.
This was an organic beatdown as opposed to that horrible chemical bubble attack.
Interesting that they didn't say much about the boy's attackers.
Bullies and bad academics may have been a problem in the past, but it was LESS of a problem when the spirit of the school brought God into it, and was less indulgent of general misbehavior.
But, really, not so much in my lifetime. The government schools have almost willfully moved away from any techniques that might lead to success. Getting God out of the classroom was their first really big mistake.
I would rather eat beans and rice every day than send my kids to a public school system that teaches the doubt of God, and is full of disrespectful kids and adults, for that matter. What an utter disgrace.
The kid is from Darby, I don't know which school but I know the town. Could very well have been a racial attack.
Bailey, we (me and mine) will be fervently praying for your complete medical recovery and a subsequent long, full and satisfying life.
And also for your family, that God sends the Holy Ghost to them for peace and hope in the one place where it may be found - in Jesus Christ.
DITTO. 1900 US had about 100 million people, 80 percent were poor (factory laborers or farmer), 20 percent cannot read, only 6 percent grad high school, women and people of color were not equally treated, no gun laws, yet ..... entire number of people murdered in the entire US for that year was only 230. The city of Chicago in 2012 had over 500 murders. I always challenge liberals to figure out what Americans did in 1900 that is different from today to have such a low murder rate.
Hard to stop bullying when kids admire bullies and cheer them on.
What profit is it to gain the whole world, but lose one's soul?
God bless you.
Homeschooling is the best decision we ever made for our children.
To those who are deciding, remember this. Your children will be with you for a long, long time. A little investment up front will provide a lifetime of benefit.
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
I don't believe it. I think people turned out OK in spite of schooling.
Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in moralityand in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated.
Leo Tolstoy, "Education and Children" (1862)
It takes missing faith sometimes to teach people how to appreciate it.
Well yes... and so what? It's not comparing the lot of educated CHILDREN, but children OF THE EDUCATED. Education does not pass to heirs via DNA. Surprised? (And also as long as the education is not MIS-education, their societies will be better and the children WILL benefit from that.)
Schools push this "conflict resolution" nonsense...which equates the bully to the bullied...and the criminal with the victim.
When I was in school, the way you handled bullying was a good swift uppercut to the bully's lips and jaw....when blood starts oozing out, the bullying stops
Schools are poorly run...and the GOP is also to blame....because instead of firing teachers to cut budgets.....they refuse to fire the administrators who make these crazy stupid school rules. Schools are liberal nutcase because of those running them
Let the parent publish info about the perps. I'm guessing we already know the answer to your question m
Thing is in the old days a picked on scrawny kid might get a lick or two in. Now with growth hormones in milk some 15 year olds have the body of a full grown man. Is closer to a prison beat down.
Ah yeah... sometimes it takes a whack to teach a punk it's wiser for him to curb his rage rather than keep stoking it.
I don't know anything about that part of Pennsylvania but the absence of information about the attackers, given the methods of the media, makes one suspect that race was a motive.
Well cheese louise, they could still dance around the race issue... unless it's one of those blatantly black names.
Why aren't the growth hormones helping the scrawny kid too?
Nonsense. At one time the bad kids were sent to reform schools. They were removed from the general population, a practical solution. Nowadays, the modern day psychologists and sociologists preach inclusion in the belief hanging around good people will make them good. This is not practical. America has lost its way in pragmatism.
That *TOO* but definitely not exclusively. If the same misbehavior today led to reform schools as in yesteryear, half the class would be in reform schools.
A quote from Tolstoy may not be a good example. He was strongly influenced by the guy who more than any other of his time screwed around with how children are viewed.
"Rousseaus critique of modern civilization and his belief in the inherent
goodness of untutored nature left a deep imprint on Tolstoys art and
thought. His celebration of the noble savage in his fiction, from The
Cossacks (1863) to Hadji-Murat (1904), as well as much of his later
assault against the injustices of the state, the institution of serfdom, the
Russian Orthodox Church, modern medicine, education, marriage, and
sexual mores all derive, in part, from Rousseaus intellectual influence."
wait - I thought the schools believed in "equal outcomes" now...right?
So line those little bastards up and let's have at 'em.
Rice and beans
Seems to me putting a kid in a coma is a line crossed that was never done. I don't know.
In "The Bells of St. Mary's", indicative of the times, the principal, horrified by the bullying, determined to stop it, listened to the advice of the man on the premises (without letting him know). she knew she needed insight into boys' subculture.
She learned the art of boxing' clandestinely taught it to the bullied (fatherless) child and secretively cheered him on in his next fight.
End of problem.
Getting kids to box was a fairly common approach back then. In many cases afterwards, they would actually become friends.
Not holding parents responsible for this kind of violence is a big part of the problem. A form of dereliction perhaps by design to further break down the role of the family.
I'm still waiting for a public comment by the male individual that spawned Adam Lanza — a.k.a. "his father".
y high schoolers would come into the classroom pushing each other. It startled me but they were used to it. They seemed huge and powerful.
I said, "hey don't you guys have some kind of boxig program where you can do that on your own time, away from us civilized people?"
"Oh, but, M. Crabtree", in their best Eddie Haskell, "boxing is considered brutal and violent".
I told this to a colleague later on. She, the Classics teacher, said, "well, do they know you're Irish?".
Hmm. That was a new one.
I brought the flyers on the wrestling program and treated them like gentlemen. by the end of the year they were opening doors, jumping up to retrieve fallen erasers, cleaning the board and sometimes even arriving in dark sunglasses acting like secret service. this mixed in with their usual animalistic disruptive nasty behavior they fight hard to eradicate.
Tehy're hard-wired to please and to figure out how to get ahead AND how to please girls.
Liberals and the DEA don't figure out that people do not fundamentally change.
Demographics (see tagline) and the same Hippie Commies who dropped acid and dodged the draft are now Federal judges, Cabinet members, ACLU attorneys or CEOs.
Public schools have become evil arms of the evil state that is the faux paux federal govmt.
Foamy The Squirrel talks about bullies.
Foamy The Squirrel on bullies and teachers.
Warning: bad language!
The bullies are just following Darwinism as taught in schools, survival of the fittest, you know, the liberal's and socialists like Hitler believe only the strongest shall survive, the weak, the meek, and those with birth defects deserve to die! This is not sarcasm, the elites truly believe this, God help us all!
Bailey is my cousins grandson.
Yes, it was 2 black kids.
Makes me wonder, this happened just after Jaime Fox happily said, "he gets to kill white people."
From what I've read others leaving the movie theatre are saying and feeling the same way.
I don't see how the conclusion can be avoided.
Do you believe any differently? It's true, you know.
My son was getting picked on (verbally) by a kid in school. He told us, we discreetly told the teacher. She kept an eye out and the next time the bully said something to my son she called him on it. She brought the parents in for a meeting. The dad told her "Hey - I'm at work - my wife takes care of that stuff."
The teacher replied "No - you're the father - act like one. And if you don't want to meet - your son is kicked out of school". (A public school teacher!!) The kid and my son since became friends.
My daughter had another way of handling the class bully in 6th grade. Stabbed him in the arm with a pencil - even drew blood. He went screaming like a girl to the nurse's office with a pencil sticking out of his arm.
Thank goodness my daughter received a light reprimand from the Principal. The mom of the boy understood all too well. The boy is now home-schooled and doing VERY well with both his grades and his behavior.
My son was attacked by five Mexican students in the bathroom (he was born in Colombia and they always ridiculed his accent).
Guess what? He managed to fight off two when the teacher came in and suspended all of them, including my son. When I asked why, I was told he shouldn't have fought back.
I changed school the next year.
Great stories, and good news on the outcomes. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent quote:
>> The teacher replied "No - you're the father - act like one."
Of course lots of these kids don't have a father. Or it is a step-dad and somehow neither one views them as the "real" father.
Our local schools have done a good job on keeping down the bullying I think. The thing I worry about now that my kids are in High School is the booze and drugs. They are VERY clean and good kids - and so far they know the booze and drugs are bad. But I still worry about them - at least the youngest two.
Although the youngest one just told me her "life quote" that she made up for some project she was working on. It is "No one became great by doing easy things." Pretty good for a 15 year old! (I couldn't find it on the interwebs so maybe she DID come up with it on her own!)
My 7-year-old son is taking Tae Kwon Do. He broke his first board two weeks ago. I took a picture of the event and sent it to his teacher so that she could then show all of his classmates. Message delivered.
I began in martial arts when I was in school in the 70s and it was a Good Thing. And it's still a Good Thing.
Definitely things to be concerned about especially when driving might be a component.
Sounds like you have good kids and hopefully nothing too serious to worry about.
No, the meek shall inherit the earth, you, not so much!

A very reach creamy chocolate flavor, that leaves a cool minty after taste. I use a frothed milk machine for the milk and the powder doesn't dissolve very well. for those who make it with hot, boiling water, it is probably better. There a hint of salt, so American's will die for it. Where I come from, it is not so common to add a salty flavor to chocolate treats.

What the 1% Wear to Court
Why do companies give such enormous amounts of money to a CEO who's leaving? Severance academics will tell you that with such a safety net written into a contract in advance, a company chief can make bolder decisions that benefit stockholders, even if they're against his own personal interest. This is what happened in 2007 when Jim Kilts of Gillette engineered the acquisition of his company by Proctor & Gamble for $57 billion, even though it meant he'd be without a job. Upon his exit, Kilts received a severance package of $165 million, not enough to crack the top ten, but still enough to keep himself in razor blades for generations.
So who had the best exit line of credit ever? That honor goes to Jack Welch, whose severance package set the bar both in cash value and in added perks. Welch's deal is now the benchmark that all superstar CEOs try to exceed in that honeymoon phase when a desperate board is begging them to take over their company. In addition to stock and pension, Welch got free use of an $80,000 a month Manhattan apartment and all his restaurant bills paid for, as well as courtside seats at Yankees, Red Sox, and Knicks games, and prime seating at both the French and US Opens.
Lee Raymond worked at Exxon for more than 40 years, during which time he engineered a lucrative merger with Mobil Oil. The resulting company felt justified in awarding Raymond such a handsome goodbye, since during his 12 years as CEO ExxonMobil stock went up 500%. Raymond, clearly an experienced negotiator, did add certain touches of his own to the standard severance deal, including one that will be hard for other CEOs to reproduce: he continues to be paid for his services consulting with Arab heads of state.

Under citizen concerns at the recent commission meeting, Randall Stilson brought up the matter of public safety during the hunting season.
A home in Orangeville was hit by bullets during deer season. He also said four deer were killed close to his home. He suggested maybe the valley should become an archery only area.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said he had talked to Derris Jones from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Jones said the county has the ability to set its own regulations and could make the valley, archery and shotgun only if they wished.
Kofford said he would like to see a recommendation made by the people who are affected as to how the county should proceed. It is a big problem and the farmers want to see the wildlife out of their fields.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said one of the biggest problems is the people who are being affected aren't the ones who own the property. If an ordinance is passed for no hunting, then the property owner can't hunt there either.
The county needs to have some countywide meetings to see how to address the problem of hunting near homes and towns.
Commissioner Hatch said that no hunting is not the answer and if property owners allow hunting they need to educate the hunters as to where the houses are and cows and other hazards.
Commissioner Hatch suggested seeing what ordinances the cities already have in place for the discharge of firearms and the distances involved and then have a public hearing.
Delena Fish, from the Workforce Services updated the Emery County Commission on how the Castle Dale office is doing. She said the TANIF program has had some changes made to it and they have been working to implement these changes.
Each TANIF recipient that receives services must spend 30 hours a week making themselves employable. They must receive training, job seek and develop skills to get a better job. Fish reported not a lot of people are receiving TANIF assistance at this time, but 83 percent of those participating are doing what they need to do. The supervision for this program has increased and study time can't be done at home anymore.
Fish reported that unemployment in Emery County is at a low of 3 percent. They still see people who are struggling to develop skills and she wants everyone to know there are funds available for training. If these funds aren't utilized then the Workforce Services will lose this funding. "We need people to take advantage of these funds," said Fish.
Fish reported more job listings are done on the internet now. Workforce Services has been downsized and more work is being done by telecommuting and internet work.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the Castle Dale office always leads the four county region in their percentages. Commissioner Ira Hatch thanked Delena for the work done by her and staffmembers for the benefit of the Emery County people.
In other matters the commission heard from a county resident who is unhappy about the condition of the road where she lives, Peterson Lane, she said it is a one mile county road which is terrible. It has huge potholes and when the magcholoride was on the road, the mud stuck to their vehicles in big chunks and was hard to get off. The county removed the magcholoride, but there are still problems with the road.
A grader was in that area recently but didn't get their road graded. She said she would appreciate anything the county could do to help with the road.
Commissioner Hatch told the citizen that her problem is not unique and many of the dirt roads in the county have similar problems with mud and ruts. The road department director will look at the daily reports and see when that road was graded last. They also have a maintenance schedule they adhere to and the citizen is welcome to come and look at that to see when her road is scheduled for maintenance.
As far as snowplows go, Commissioner Hatch told her the main school bus routes are plowed first and the other roads are plowed accordingly.
The citizen brought pictures of her road to show the commissioners and invited them out to drive the road anytime to see how bad it is.
Sheriff Guymon reported they had been awarded enough grant money to buy two cameras for patrol cars.
The commission also approved the CIB list of short and medium term projects with a couple of additions. These projects are submitted to the CIB board for consideration for possible funding. Any government entity can list projects on this list. December 1 is the deadline when the list must be submitted. Any project not on the list will not be funded. If an emergency situation arises, then the CIB will act on it on a case by case basis.
The commission also voted on four roads being considered for abandonment. These roads are the #327 Cowboy West, #116 Hansen Spur, #117-Pappas Spur and #112 Jensen Spur. It was determined to abandon part of the Cowboy West road and the other part to maintain it to the corral. On the Hansen Spur it was determined if the gate on that road is left unlocked for use then it will not be abandoned. If the landowner doesn't agree to keeping the gate unlocked then the road will be abandoned. The Pappas Spur and Jensen Spur will both be abandoned. When the county abandons a road, they will no longer provide maintenance on that road; they will however aid county people with their roads in emergency situations.
The commissioners voted to waive the building permit fee for the Emery County School District for the new gym they are constructing at Green River High.
The public lands director, Ray Petersen requested the county approve the agreement between the Utah parks and recreation and Emery County for the installation of signs marking the county roads which are open to OHV travel.

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate ReleaseThursday, September 7, 2000
LOWELL, MA. Attorney General Janet Reno and the U.S. Department of Justices Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $1 million in grants to enable police agencies to strengthen or expand existing local programs that reflect model practices in building trust between the police and their communities.
For the eighth consecutive year, the crime rate has fallen in virtually every category, in every part of this Nation, said Attorney General Janet Reno. But we need to take it to the next level. These grants will allow us to build on the success we have had with community policing and go even further, by hiring and training our police officers to be peacemakers and problem solvers.
The Peacemakers Initiative was designed to accelerate and encourage model practices in trust building between law enforcement and the communities they serve, said COPS Director Thomas Frazier. This Initiative allows for innovation and progress. It strengthens the link between community policing and police integrity. Making this link a reality in every city and town will be the challenge for the entire law enforcement community.
The COPS office created this pilot initiative as a result of the Attorney Generals 1999 conference Strengthening Police-Community Relationships, which highlighted the need to identify police practices and reforms to build trust, reduce police misconduct, and enhance police integrity. The initiative seeks ways to build on the successes of community policing and at the same time address police practices that may enhance trust between the police and their communities. It emphasizes the principle that police officers can be effective in reducing crime and keeping our neighborhoods safe, while at the same time treating all citizens with respect and dignity and protecting Constitutional rights.
Five police departments will be receiving funding under this grant: Lowell, Mass., $178,700; Colorado Springs, Colo., $200,000; Tampa, Fla., $166,000; Sacramento, Calif., $200,000; and Knoxville, Tenn., $200,000.
The COPS program is the Administrations initiative to add 100,000 officers to the beat and advance community policing nation wide. Community policing is a crime fighting strategy that encourages law enforcement to work in partnership with the community to identify and reduce crime problems.

The Rebels finished their disappointing Super Rugby season on a high with a 38-37 victory over the Highlanders at AAMI Park on Friday.
The Rebels finished their disappointing Super Rugby season on a high with a 38-37 victory over the Highlanders at AAMI Park on Friday.
After trailing 31-7 at the interval, the hosts came storming back in the second period, scoring five unanswered tries to seal a thrilling come-from-behind win in the final minute.
In total ten tries were scored between the sides – including doubles for Rebels backs Cooper Vuna, Tom English and Bryce Hegarty – in an entertaining game that served as the farewell fixture for a number of players on both teams.
The Kiwi side continued their strong finish to the season as they wrapped up the four-try bonus point before half-time.
But the second half was an entirely different affair as the Rebels cut loose to fight back and move ahead for the first time on the stroke of full-time.
The scores were level on the ten-minute mark after English's first try cancelled out Ben Smith's opening score for the Highlanders.
The visitors would rule until the break, running rampant as Hosea Gear, Tamati Ellison and Tony Woodcock all touched down.
There was a distinct lack of urgency from the Highlanders after the break though and two tries from Vuna saw the Rebels move back into contention by the hour mark.
James O'Connor came off the bench to turn the Rebels' attack up a notch and after setting up Vuna's second and one for fly-half Hegarty to go with English's brace, the gap was narrowed to a single point with six minutes left.
The Highlanders seemed to have gotten out of jail when replacement Hayden Parker slotted a late penalty but the Rebels would have the last laugh as Hegarty found his way into the corner after Vuna's offload inside with the last play of the game to snatch victory.

Reviews of this property
Nice and very clean apartment and kitchen! Friendly welcome with information about the city from representative. Specious bathroom with a nice bath/shower. The location is wonderfull with lots of historic interesting points, places to eat and nice small shops. Also public transport is nearby. One point for improvement is the small double bed that is only 180 cm long. The beds in the other room are very good!
Very neat and nice apartment in the historic center, so very centrally located. Well equipped (to the washing machine - without detergent; that would bring!). For the central location also quite recommendable quiet and without limitation. Nice reception, easy check out: You can just the keys on the table in the kitchen.
Sehr gepflegte und hübsche Wohnung im Altstadtviertel, also ganz zentral gelegen. Gut ausgestattet (bis hin zur Waschmaschine - ohne Waschmittel; das wäre mitzubringen!). Für die zentrale Lage auch durchaus ruhig und ohne Einschränkung empfehlenswert. Netter Empfang, problemloses Auschecken: Man lässt einfach die Schlüssel auf dem Tisch in der Küche.
The location of the apartment in Alfama, close to the Se cathedral and city center is perfect. All Lisbon regions (Alfama,Baixa, Bairro alto and Chiado) are at walking distance. In case you want to go there by public transportation you'll find tram (28E and others) and bus stop just around the corner and the metro station Terreira do Paco is at a 5 minutes walk. There's a supermarket "Pingo Doce" at approx. 10 minutes walking distance.
The sober decorated apartment has a kitchen, 2 small bedrooms, a very small living room and a bathroom.
We had to clean part of the kitchen and do the dishes before use.The kitchen gear is very basic and partly incomplete. When we arrived we found only 3 glasses (this was resolved after a call to the host). There's no electric coffee machine. Besides a dustpan with a short broom, there are no other (floor) cleaning tools like a vacuum cleaner, normal sized broom etc. So it's hard to keep it clean when you're there for more than 2 days.
The double bed in one of the bedrooms measures only 184 x 128, which is not a normal double sized bed and doesn't fit taller people. This should be mentioned on the website.
The absence of a shelf with bed light at one side of the bed in both rooms, which were there in the past according to the holes in the wall (and pictures on the website) indicate a lack of maintenance as did the broken dustbin, not functioning lock on the bathroom door, no light in the refrigerator etc.
I would not recommend this apartment for more than 4 persons.
Overall, we did enjoyed our stay and the host was very friendly, but based on the reviews, I got a slightly different impression of the apartment. With this review I want to compensate for that. I think it's quite easy to make it a more attractive apartment with only minor investments. Please do.
Very amazing apartment, clean, spacious and very very close to the city centre. Sara, the host, was really nice and gave us a lot of information about the main turistic places and some good restaurants. I definitely recommend this apartment!
Just apartment. Is worth repeating. Only the geyser we need to stabbing a few times. 6 people is too much for this apartment. The city is worth exploring on foot. Small convenience stores in the streets here and there to find and a larger supermarket Pingo Doce is also near. In the evening is a good place with a rose in water and then one of the many good affordable eateries to visit. We recommend the tapas and wine restaurant on the rua Alecrim
Net appartement. Is voor herhaling vatbaar. Alleen de geiser hebben we een aantal malen aan moeten steken. 6 personen is teveel voor dit appartement. De stad is goed te voet te verkennen. Kleine buurtsupers zijn in de straten her en der te vinden en een grotere supermarkt van Pingo Doce zit ook vlak bij. In de avond is het goed vertoeven met een rosé bij het water om daarna een van de vele goed betaalbare eetgelegenheden te bezoeken. Een aanrader is het tapas en wijn restaurant aan de rua alecrim
Great accommodation in an absolutely brilliant location! Great central location, nice reception with some great information. We will come back to this great city. Greetings to the Tagus ;)
Tolle Unterkunft in absolut genialer Lage! Super zentral gelegen, netter Empfang mit einigen tollen Informationen. Wir kommen gerne wieder in diese tolle Stadt.
Grüße an den Tejo ;)
Sehr unkomplizierter Kontakt, Wohnung war ok, Betten waren gut, sehr zentral, leider haben wir uns im Badezimmer nicht so wohl gefühlt, da es nicht so gut geputzt war und Besteck und Teller waren auch nicht so sauber. Dennoch war es ein guter Anlaufpunkt und alles hat wie vereinbart geklappt.
Encantados con el apartamento y con el trato de Felipe. la estancia muy agradable , un lugar silencioso y tranquilo en pleno pulmón de Lisboa. Muy recomendable. Recomiendo dotar al apartamento de una escoba, recogedor , cubo y fregona para dar limpieza durante los días de estancia de los inquilinos y algún utensilio mas para elaborar comida en casa. Por lo demás todo excelente. Muchas gracias.

We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!

Bill Dee, former Christopher Newport assistant and four-time state championship Phoebus High School coach, finished his second season at Old Dominion in 2012.
Dee will coach the Monarch defensive linemen in 2013.
Dee joined the coaching staff in the spring of 2011 and patroled the sidelines overseeing the offensive line. The Monarchs garnered a 10-3 overall mark, its first ever national ranking finished the season at No. 10 in the country, and advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs. In ODU's first season in the Colonial Athletic Association, considered by many the top FCS conference in the nation.
The Monarch offensive line helped the team top the league standings in scoring offense and rank fifth nationally at 36.69 points per game. Additionally, the offensive line helped the team rank first in CAA in total offense and ranked 10th in the country racking up 439.08 yards each time the Monarchs took the field and rank third among all conference schools and 18th in the country gaining 270.92 yards of passing offense.Under Dee's leadership, Jeremy Hensley, the Monarchs' center was a Third Team All-CAA honoree.
Dee joined the Monarchs after a two-year stint at Division III Christopher Newport in Newport News where he coached the inside linebackers and defensive line. The Captains won the 2010 USA South Conference title and competed in the NCAA Division III playoffs. A legendary high school coach in Virginia, Dee led Hampton-based Phoebus to four state championships and compiled a 243-76-1 record during his 24-year career. Capturing a .761 winning percentage, he helped the Phantoms to nine district and seven regional championships in addition to his four state titles. In his final game, Phoebus defeated Dinwiddie, 37-13, at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium in 2008, completing a 15-0 season. His team ended up ranked #3 in the nation by Rivals.com.
Beginning his coaching career at Greene High School in New York, Dee served as the defensive coordinator for four seasons before moving to the Hampton Roads region and spending a year at Denbigh High School in a similar capacity.
Dee's first head coaching job was at Southhampton High School from 1981-1984 before his illustrious 24-year career at Phoebus. Dee is a 1975 Mansfield State graduate where he played four seasons at offensive guard.

A long-time favorite among Megabass anglers, the Megabass Deep-X 200T was one of the first crankbaits in its depth category to feature a truly realistic baitfish profile. Sporting Megabass' Multi-Way Moving Balancer System (PAT.), the tungsten balancers move to the tail for perfect, long-distance casts, then quickly roll to the front as you start your retrieve, powering the Deep-X 200T down to its target depth faster than most baits in its class.
Especially effective with a medium, stop-and-go retrieve, or a slow, steady retrieve with slight twitches of the rod tip during brief pauses, it also has incredibly high buoyancy characteristics which allow it to float up and out of snags. When the Deep-X 200T is out of its target range and on its way up, the balancers slide to the rear, allowing for a faster retrieve and quicker re-load.
Incredibly versatile, it can fished in water depths of 5ft to 14ft. This makes it an excellent choice for fishing ledges, rocky or sandy banks, points, and grass-beds. Megabass Pro Staffers have also reported great results with the Deep-X 200T while fishing through standing timber. Beautifully designed and crafted like all Megabass lures, the Megabass Deep-X 200T Crankbait is offers a realistic profile, action and diving ability that can't be beat.

I Love You!
One problem with this theory... He sent Perona to an uninhabited island (at that time)... It wasn't until (at least) days later that Zoro was sent there, and I'm pretty sure that Kuma didn't make a Vivre card of Perona... Hawk-eyes didn't show up until after the winter war.
I suppose he could've made a vivre card of a baboon, but that just seems odd.
Another problem is that "Bible" would be read in Japanese as Ba-i-boo-roo, not bee-boo-ru. You say "Bible", not "beeble". "Biburu" would be a sound more like the surname of that annoying kid pop star than what a Priest would read before he goes to sleep.
This is a stretch, really.
I quite like the theory, but there are holes. In Japanese they do just say バイブル (bai-boo-roo) and with a certain swordsman not being home when his guests arrived...that's not to say that he didn't record locations...
I dunno...like I said, I want it to work but...
I like how nobody has mentioned the fact that Kuma used to be a Revolutionary. Robin is the light of the Revolutionaries apparently. They are supposed to ensure she lives.
Kuma sent her indirectly to somewhere he knew the Revolutionaries were gonna find her.
I'm sure the rest were important too. Although we don't know how much information he has on the crew (Although considering Shakky said she was already a fan of the crew and knew how to appease Chopper.) it seems that he has deliberately sent them somewhere they can train. Already knowing Zoro wanted to be the greatest swordsman, being a shichibukai he probably knew Mihawk would train him knowing his character or just took a coin toss at that. Sanji to Ivan-sans island knowing he was a cook from the statement Sanji said as well as Ivan-san hell being a revolutionary.
Well this is all leaning me closer to the fact the Kuma did purposely sent them to specific islands.
Edit: Also I'm not a fluent in Japanese language but he did mention the language corruption with Oda, to you guys correcting him.
Aren't we all agreed that he deliberately sent the SH on specific islands? I mean it would be too coincidental and unrealistic if it weren't. The question is how on earth did Kuma thought that Boa would eventually help Luffy and not just kill him right off the bat?

Ah, I see. The stars and ranks are at different levels...
By accident, as I've mentioned. It'll get fixed..
Or maybe the Admin should keep secretly changing the ranks, just to keep you all confused.
Or maybe the Admin should keep secretly changing the ranks, just to keep you all confused.
lol! That'd be fun, actually. To me anyway.
And I don't mind about the ranks and stars being apart from each other. It's interesting to see what I'll get next.
ARC, of course I do, but as mentioned above, it sounds like it's going to be a mystery. Figure it out, or wait and see.
I love the whole scoring system guys/girls.......keep it up!!!!
Members can now change their "user title," rather than the various rank titles (i.e. Jedi Hunter, Bounty Hunter). The stars still remain the same and the post counts are available in the profile. But you can now customize the words below your username, if you'd like.
We'll try this for a few days -- due to popular request -- but if it becomes a problem, we might revert it back to the titles. Give it a whirl during this test period.
Will it change when we reach a new rank and then be able to change it back?
If you leave the custom field blank, it will revert back to normal, yes.
I like the idea. I haven't used it yet cause I can't think of a good title, but it is nice to have.
I love the idea.........we can choose what to call ourselves! I've (obviously) used the new system. Thanks Aaron!
I like it, with some creativity the boards will seem more lively. are some titles gonna be kept in reserve tho like Mandalore?
I had the same question, but Dageen beet me to it
What? I where do you change that stuff?
Go to the "Personal" section.
Go to Profile, then personal in the sidebar and enter it in the title space.
thx, I must've missed it.
It's gives the boards a whole new personal aspect.
Sev, glad to make it more personal!
Draco, keep that up and you're going to get tapped to be a moderator.
ARC, make your posts count. No spamming, remember?
Dageen, no, if you customize the title, it stays that way until you remove it. Then the default kicks in.
Thank you, Aaron. The length of my title is not a problem? It increases the length of a topic slightly less than half of a centimeter.

01 Feb 2013, BioSpectrum Bureau , BioSpectrum
Singapore: A*STAR scientists from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have solved the problem of how Candida albicans causes hospital-acquired infections of the blood, an issue that had not been solved and remained mysterious for the past 100 year.
The scientists solved the problem by constructing stable haploid strains of Candida albicans, which is considered the most prevalent human fungal pathogen and is ranked among the top four microbial pathogens. The discovery was jointly made by two teams of scientists led by Professor Wang Yue of IMCB and Professor Judith Berman of the University of Minnesota and will enable scientists to effectively target and treat infections by Candida albicans. The findings were published in a research paper titled, 'The obligate diploid Candida albicans forms mating-competent haploids' in the online issue of Nature on January 30, 2013.
Candida albicans has a mortality rate of as high as 45 percent. Currently, the choice of drugs for treating infections by this pathogen is limited, and drug-resistance has emerged worldwide, posing a great challenge to medicine.
Nearly all other fungi have a haploid and a diploid phase in their life cycle, enabling the haploid cells to mate and generate genetic variations. However, up till this recent discovery, yeast scientists the world over had been unable to identify a haploid phase of this fungus.
Without a haploid phase, it is indeed extremely difficult for scientists to carry out genetic screens in fungi as this would require the precise targeting of both copies of a gene in a diploid organism to be able to observe a change, thus hindering the progress of the study of the virulence and delaying the development of effective treatment of fungal infections. With this discovery of the haploid phase in Candida albicans, however, scientists will now be able to easily target just one copy of the gene to observe a change, allowing for more successful screening and speeding up the discovery of targets for the development of drugs.

Winning the Future: Fuel Up to Fight Obesity
Cross posted from the Let's Move! blog:
Today I had the honor of joining some of our nation's principal thought-leaders at the site of Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas, to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines an unprecedented private-public partnership committed to child health and wellness. The co-signers included myself, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NDC CEO Thomas Gallagher and Gen YOUth Foundation CEO Alexis Glick. During the event, I unveiled a new television public service announcement (PSA) featuring a local favorite, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, that encourages youth to participate in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program. The PSA was developed by the Ad Council in collaboration with Let's Move!, USDA, NFL, NFL Player Association, and National Dairy Council, and will be distributed to stations nationwide this week.

Welcome aboard! Meet your crew and get acquainted as you set sail into the Tracy Arm Wilderness.
At the end of Tracy Arm, a winding fjord with sheer granite walls, hundreds of cascading waterfalls, and some of the largest floating icebergs in all of Alaska, sits the twin Sawyer Glaciers—North Sawyer and South Sawyer. The fjord is home to brown and black bears, deer, wolves, harbor seals, birds such as arctic terns and pigeon guillemots, and mountain goats, usually spotted high on the cliffs. Later today, move into Frederick Sound—summer feeding ground for the northern hemisphere's largest concentration of humpback whales. Keep watch for humpbacks, orca, and Steller sea lions.
Choose kayaking and a lush forest trek on a scenic rainforest trail, or go big on a roundtrip 11-mile hike to the glacially-fed and rarely visited Patterson Lake for spectacular kayaking in the meltwaters of Patterson Glacier. Discover the origin of its "Devil's Country" nickname during a reading from "The Strangest Story Ever Told," about the area's mythical shape-shifting creatures called Kushtaka.
Step into the back country of Alaska's wilderness, in an area known for glaciers and rich in gold and quartz. Explore glacial landscapes marked by moraines, muskegs, and mud. Adventure and natural beauty are sure to please whether you choose kayaking, paddle boarding, skiff riding, or hiking today. An abundance of bright red and green navigation lights guide you along "Christmas Tree Lane" as you cruise the winding Wrangell Narrows this evening.
Home to native culture, wildlife, and wonder—Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska and the only one ever governed by four nations. Before venturing into town, local islanders join you on board for an in-depth presentation on Tlingit and Haida cultures. View recently carved totem poles at Kiksetti Totem Park and step inside the famed and historically significant Chief Shakes Tribal House.
Wildlife abounds in Behm Canal and the surrounding Tongass National Forest—orca, porpoise, seals, sea lions, brown and black bears, mink, marten, eagles, and otters. Paddle along the canal or venture out on an intertidal shore walk or low-elevation trek on the Cleveland Peninsula.
Affectionately called "The Yosemite of the North," Misty Fjords National Monument represents nearly every ecosystem found in Southeast Alaska. Glacial valleys filled with sea water, and sheer 3,000 foot cliffs are a haven for sea birds, brown and black bears, mountain goats, Sitka black-tailed deer, mink, moose, river otters, and other wildlife. Glide through Walker Cove or Rudyerd Bay by kayak or explore by skiff soaking in the splendor of this largely forgotten corner of the world.
Alaska's southern most city and "salmon capital of the world" also claims fame to having the world's largest collection of standing totem poles. While others end their adventure and new guests join later in the day, you will spend the day off the boat. Enjoy an included lunch in town and explore the notorious Creek Street, once a red-light district. A complimentary laundry service is provided today. Later this afternoon, keep watch for eagles while cruising through the Tongass Narrows out of Ketchikan.
Wake in El Capitan Passage surrounded by breathtaking Tongass National Forest—the largest national forest in the US. Take a "wild" Alaska trek winding through high forest on an old logging trail, find your way to El Capitan Cave, the largest known cave in Alaska and one of the largest mapped caves in the Americas. And if the stars are right (okay maybe it's the tides), you just may get lucky today and snag some organic oysters from a local grower.
Discover living history in Klawock—one of the most authentic Tlingit villages in Alaska. Learn the importance of carving, gaze up at totem poles coloring the town, and hear their stories. Visit the carvers' shed where the art of carving and restoring totems is passed on. Along with its small fishing fleet, this rustic community continues to thrive on the farthest reaches of the wild Alaska coastline. Explore the area on foot keeping an eye for eagles and sea birds.
It's Captain's Choice today as you explore the intricate passages and shores along Chatham Strait's Kuiu or Baranof Islands. Join your expedition team on (or in!) the water. Conditions permitting, take to the water by kayak, skiff, or snorkel. Snorkeling is optional, but hidden beneath the surface lies a magical array of sea life only seen from below. Take a deep breath and go for it! Today's discoveries will be within some of the most untouched wilderness of the Tongass National Forest.
Lush forest, spectacular views, play time, and wildlife—they are all in abundance in Frederick Sound. Keep watch along the coastline for birds, wolves, and black bears. With many secluded coves to choose from, you may slip into the waters of Deep Cove, Patterson or Saginaw Bay, or perhaps another hidden gem to explore by skiff or paddle a kayak. Gear up for snorkeling or guided treks. This evening, toast another day of amazing adventure with a cold microbrew or cocktail.
There'll be plenty of wildlife viewing today. The Brothers, a pair of tiny, rocky islands at the confluence of Stephen's Passage and Frederick Sound, are home to some of Alaska's most abundant wildlife, including a haulout for Stellar sea lions. The area is also the summer feeding ground for the largest concentration of humpback whales in the northern hemisphere. Keep watch for orca, humpbacks, and porpoise.
Snow covered mountains, glowing blues, and the white thunder of calving ice take your breath away at the face of Dawes Glacier. As you glide through Endicott Arm you'll likely find a few seals taking respite on the glaciers smaller "bergy bits." Tides permitting, explore the narrow passage of Ford's Terror. Join the Captain for a farewell toast during dinner.
Bid adieu to new-found friends over breakfast before disembarking. Transfer directly to the Juneau airport or continue on your own adventure.

New York Post Really Outdoes Itself Today, Headline-Wise
Those folks at the New York Post—love em or hate em, they sure know how to write a snappy headline! "Too many damn ho's." Is it a double-entendre on someone's name? Is it a play off of a direct quote in the story? Nope. It's just a straight up headline about how there are "Too many damn ho's" out there. Haha. And how!
I think it should be "hoes."

VIDEO REPORT: Gorgeous, Glistening and Gold
JAMAICA – Earlier this month, Usain Bolt got a custom-made Nissan GT-R. The world's fastest man loves Nissan's fastest car. Bolt already has a black Nissan GT-R, but when he partnered with Nissan to give away a gold one for his foundation, he wanted one too.
"They made a gold GT-R and auctioned it off to help my foundation," said Bolt. "For me that has done a lot so far and will do a lot more in the upcoming months. We have helped a lot of kids all around Jamaica."
Nissan executives gave Bolt the keys to his new car at his home training facility in Jamaica. Bolt could not wait to get the car on the track. But he found out he can't quite beat it in a race.
"The car has a slight edge, just a little bit," said Bolt.
Bolt's gold GT-R has been customized to suit his driving style. Nissan engineers recorded data during Bolt's test drive of the GT-R line-up when he visited the company headquarters in October of 2012. The visual specs of the car, including exterior and interior color and wheels, were selected by Bolt himself.
"I think it's just a full package," said Bold. "For me the color is just out of this world because as you know, I am the golden boy so it works well. I think I will be driving it a lot."
Bolt was recently named Nissan Director of excitement and been part of the company's global brand campaign for the last year.

Two new mothers in Argentina would still be caring for the wrong infants if they hadn't acted on their suspicions.
As it was, they took home the wrong babies and cared for them for three weeks thanks to a clinic mixup, reports AFP.
The women gave birth on Sept. 30 at a private clinic in San Juan, and both say officials there dismissed their concerns that things didn't quite add up before they left for home.
Newser: Pa. guy's $10 bill could be worth $500K
"When my baby was born by C-section, they told me straight away it was a beautiful girl weighing (6.8 pounds), but when they gave her to me they said she weighed (8.4 pounds) and was a breech birth," says one. "I told them that could not be, but they said I must have misunderstood."
The truth came out when the women happened to meet at the clinic three weeks later for a checkup and swapped stories. When DNA tests confirmed their hunches, they swapped babies, too.
Both are now considering lawsuits, reports the Digital Journal.

Fallen heros honored
Peace Officers' Memorial Day
MOREHEAD CITY, CARTERET COUNTY - Several people gathered in Morehead City to honor of Peace Officers' Memorial Day. The ceremony was held Wednesday afternoon outside the Carteret Community College Basic Law Enforcement Office.
Six North Carolina law enforcement officers killed while doing their jobs last year were recognized. Their names read off one by one, each followed by a bell.
"For the last seven years, all the local law enforcement including some from Craven County, all of Carteret County, gather here and we honor our fallen brothers and sisters," said Joseph Rufra.
Deputy William Mast, Officer Jeremiah Goodson , Deputy Dwayne Hester, correctional officer William Wright, Detective Randall Thomas and Trooper Bobby Demuth. Demuth was killed while trying to lay down spikes during a high speed chase on U-S 64 in Nash County.
Since 1941, thirteen men and women in Carteret County have died while in the line of duty.

What do President Barack Obama and Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio have in common? Answer in a moment. But first, this mea culpa which is Latin for Duh! or, if you prefer, my bad!
Federal News Radio carried the correct story on Rubio's proposal yesterday
But I missed the boat.
I ruined part of some people's day on Wednesday when I said that Rubio, one of the front-runners for the 2016 GOP race for the nomination, would propose opening up the federal retirement program to nonfederal workers. I got an advanced peek at the proposal, but I peeked at the wrong part.
Connolly calls for 3.2 percent pay raise for feds in 2018
Connolly calls for 3.2 percent pay raise for feds in 2018
Rubio isn't advocating opening the FERS program to nonfeds. What he apparently does want is to give nonfederal workers the option of participating in the federal Thrift Savings Plan. The TSP is Uncle Sam's in-house 401(k) plan. It is now limited to active and retired federal and military personnel. People who leave the government or military for other jobs can keep their TSP accounts, but they cannot add to them.
David Snell, director of retirement benefits for NARFE, said Rubio's plan "would probably be a lot like President Obama's proposed myIRA, in that workers would be able to contribute to a federally sponsored/backed 401(k) type retirement plan. But Rubio's plan allows all workers to specifically invest in the federal TSP that was established for federal workers."
Snell said the Rubio plan does not provide for a basic FERS-like annuity. Nonfederal workers "would still have to contribute to Social Security for monthly retirement benefits at retirement," he said.
The majority of current participants, workers under the FERS retirement plan, get an automatic 1 percent government contribution to their accounts. Those who contribute at least 5 percent toward their accounts get matching contributions from the government — dollar-for-dollar on the first 3 percent and 50 cents on the dollar up until 5 percent.
The FERS program was set up in the 1980s to replace the old Civil Service Retirement System. CSRS retirees get a defined benefit annuity that is more generous than the FERS plan that replaced it. But they don't get any matching contributions to their TSP accounts, and they don't qualify for Social Security based on their federal service.
The original plan for FERS would have eliminated any federal annuity and based retiree benefits on Social Security and investments in the TSP. That was considered too radical at the time, so a reduced federal (FERS) benefit was included. Since that time, many private-sector companies have dropped defined benefit plans for employees, instead offering them 401(k) investment options. Many companies do not match employee contributions at any level.
Here's what David A., a Baltimore-based fed, has to say on the subject:
"We are moving, as a nation, to retirement packages of Social Security and what people can stuff into the crapshoot known as the stock market. It is not a pretty picture. If the politicians were thoughtful, they would be championing defined- benefit packages. Fat chance."

Concerns over quality continue to plague OPM's background investigations The Office of Personnel Management has made tremendous progress clearing the backlog of background investigations and meeting strict new timelines mandated by Congress. But some critics now worry too much focus has been put on speed, and not enough attention has been given to quality. In our special report, Questioning Clearances, Federal News Radio examines why efforts to measure the quality of background investigations have stalled.
OPM restarts awards program for senior executives OPM will accept nominations for the 2014 Presidential Rank Awards through June 5, according to a memo to the heads of federal agencies from OPM Director Katherine Archuleta. Last year, the Obama administration canceled the awards program, which recognizes members of the Senior Executive Service for extraordinary service, citing tight budgets.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Very nice, love Rogue's design from the future. I wonder what he plans to do, he's never really been that looked at when it comes to his ideals. Literally, a character covered in shadow.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
So, why was the Shadow, which is Ragou, surprised that Gejeel knew Rogu'es(his) real name ? What's more, why was he surprised when he found about Gejeel's Fusion mode ? Is it because this timeline is already different ? Or is it because he lost concisenesses, the same way as Present Rogue, thus being unable to witness that fusion mode ? The second would mean that the Future Rogues of the Future Rogue, took control the same way as the Future Rogue of the Present Rogue, so he should know that this won't work anyway, seeing as he already experienced the Future Future Rogue's failure... or perhaps this is a plan of the Future Future Rogue, passed to the Future Rogue, which traveled back in time in order to change the past... man I think I saw something like this in some game :p.
Oh right, it's worth mentioning that the Future Rogue comes from a further future than Future Lucy, seeing as the FLucy used the gate right after the attack (?), yet Rogue is a few years older, the the current one from the time of the attack... unless he was transfered to an earlier point in time and was awaiting this moment for a few years.
So, how come Mavis was unable to recognize the magic of the Shadow DS, even though she has already witnessed it at the tournament ? Does this mean that the Future Rogue uses something else beside SDS ?
Interesting character design, to say the least.
Had a feeling that mysterious person at Wendy's battle was someone else from the future.
Not only is this rogue older and stronger but his appearance is different. His black and white appearance could be a fusion of Sting & Rogue.
yep, have to agree on the fusion of the twin dragons. And this person, having an Zeref-like aura, has a tatoo similar to Jellal. Could Jellal also have a connection to Zeref ?

'His is the firm, clear-eyed face of our scientific age, illuminated with the radiance of a man whose efforts have saved countless children from polio.' (Karsh)
In 1955 Salk produced the first vaccine for the prevention of poliomyelitis. He first had to develop a method to grow the virus in fertile eggs, then find a way to treat the virus to make it harmless but still capable of stimulating immunity to the infectious form of the virus. Millions of people were successfully immunised with his polio vaccine. His last years were spent searching for a vaccine against AIDS.

With her humble beginning at her father's church choir, she polished her strong vocals with gospel celebrity assistance. At the age of forrteen, she signed up her first Gospel LP. This took her to Columbia Records whom she worked for six years. Columbia manifested Franklin's versatile vocals only through jazz and brought an album to her credit and first single peaking with 20 No. 1 R&B hits. Subsequently, she signed up for Atlantic Records that gave dimension and depth to Aretha's vocals. He teamed her with Muscle Shoals musicians; together they created soul music and from there on Aretha Franklin conquered the world of pop and R&B.
I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967) was a groundbreaking release that featured the Grammy winner single Respect. Think, I Say a Little Prayer, Ain't No Way and The House That Jack Built also lined up as medium strength hits on the ten Top Ten hits. Atlantic streamlined her performance with Young, Gifted & Black album (1971), which got critical acclaim for Daydreamin and Rocksteady. Live at Filmore West and Amazing Grace released in 1972, they became Franklin's most coveted work. Moreover, they become the biggest-selling, best selling gospel album of all time.
Aretha Franklin made a rather bumpy trip to the world of pop in the 80's with the label Artisa. Here she bagged hits like Angel and Until You Come Back to Me. She reached out to the popular stand and brought mainstream music to albums Jump to It (1982), Get it Right (1982) and Who's Zooming Who(1985). Through the Storm (1998) managed to stir up Top 20 hits with singles featuring Elton John and Whitney Houston. Aretha's comeback via A Rose Is Still a Rose (1998) gave her a mega hit after many years. The neo and hip hop soul based singles from the album went up on the Hot 100 and the R&B top five. So Damn Happy (2003) managed the Grammy for the song Wonderful in the Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance category. Jewels in the Crown: All-Star Duets with the Queen, (2007) was Aretha Record's first release. Her most recent album, A Woman Falling Out Of Love (2011) came this year offering fans the best from the Lady of Soul. For motion picture soundtracks Aretha has performed Someday We'll All Be Free on the Malcom X (1992), Deeper Love for Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), It Hurts Like Hell for Waiting to Exhale (1994). The Blues Brothers remake, Blues Brothers 2000, casted Aretha Franklin where she sang Think.
Aretha Franklin has received numerous awards and honors in her almost half-century long career. She has received 18 Grammies. With 11 Grammies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance awards, 3 for Gospel and 4 special Grammies. With record sales over 75 million.....she was the first woman to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She was MusiCares Person of the Year (2008). Presidential Medal of Freedom belongs to her. Bill Clinton and Barrak Obama's inauguration witnessed her honorary performance. Yale University awarded her an honorary degree in Music in 2010. Time magazine pronounced her the female artist of the past century (1967).What more can one ask for?
Her journey in music has been long yet fruitful. Her natural talent made her the super star of soul, icon of pop and one of rock's best pianist/ interpretive singers. The flair in her voice has done justice to a diverse range of genres from Soul, Deep Soul, and Southern Soul, jazz, blues, R&B, gospel, pop and rock. Aretha Franklin is an inspiration for all aspiring soul performers. After a life long career Franklin still thrives as a great live performer. Live audiences always value Aretha Franklin Tickets as a great chance to hear the Queen. In her comeback shows after her surgical recovery, Franklin has outdone herself once again. She claims to have gained immense strength from the love of her fans. Four upcoming Aretha Franklin concerts, we offer you a chance to see her perform live. Just book your Aretha Franklin Tickets and get to be mesmerized by the Queen of Soul!
