Summary: Set early season two
Summary: Set early season two. Ronon is just starting to become acquainted with Atlantis and its people, but there's already one person who he can't keep his mind off of. Lorne/Dex
Response to challenge 'Unknowing' posted by ParisLove27 on Atlantica: "It has to be Lorne/Dex, but Lorne can't know that Dex is hitting on him! At least not yet! Tell me how he reacts (either good or bad-I don't care!) and what happens!"
A/N: This is probably as close to a crack!fic that I will ever get. I would never have written this under normal circumstances, but when I ran across this challenge my sleep deprived mind couldn't resist. It was just screaming to be written. I tried my hardest to keep Ronon in character, but obviously certain things had to be changed, and he came out a bit like a love-struck teenager… If you find this pairing bizarre, trust me, you aren't half as weirded out as I am. And I wrote it!
This is a bit of an experiment as I wrote each scene out completely from each character's perspective. The first bit is from Lorne's and the second from Ronon's. Hope you enjoy!
The metal floor vibrated slightly each time his foot made contact, creating a small 'clunk' noise that echoed off the walls surrounding the improvised running track. Evan Lorne's chest was heaving as he tried to keep pace with the man running beside him. He'd been a little surprised when the Satedan had asked him to join him on his morning run, but had agreed readily wanting to become better friends with the alien. Lorne chastised himself for use of that word; Ronon was just another guy after all, despite the fact that he had been born and raised on a different planet.
Lorne slowed to a stop, his sides burning. Ahead he saw his running partner stop as well. "Sorry Ronon." He said sucking in the slightly chilled air. He bent over, his hands on his knees, his legs felt like a substance close to Jell-O. "I need to stop."
"I'm tired too."
Lorne looked up. The guy wasn't even sweating, but then again he was a runner.
"You do this every morning?" Lorne asked, clutching his sides.
"Yeah" Ronon shrugged, "helps me relax."
Lorne stared at him, this was relaxing?? "Guess I'm out of shape." He said feeling stupid as he panted and Ronon stood quite at ease.
"You do better than Sheppard."
"Really?" Lorne felt good about that, he could dangle it over the colonel's head next time he got too cocky. He turned to survey the room, taking in the metal walkway they were standing on and the crossbeams that ran along it. He hadn't been up here before and though the view wasn't much it was an interesting piece of architecture. He turned back to Ronon, intent on filling the awkward silence that had suddenly developed. There was a flash of something and then Ronon was making an extremely odd face and rubbing his head. Not sure what had happened Lorne tried to ignore it and asked, "Settling in okay?" He had heard rumors about a certain incident involving a marine.
Ronon made a noncommittal noise then said slowly, "Some people are nicer than others."
"Most people on Atlantis are really friendly once you get to know them." Lorne replied, trying to figure out what was going on behind the Satedan's stony mask.
There was a brief silence then Ronon said, "This was fun."
It took Lorne a moment to realize what he was talking about, then he gave a small laugh. He wasn't sure that running until you thought you were going to pass out was one of the things he classified as 'fun'. However, as much pain as he was in he told Ronon that he had had a good time and meant it too.
"Race you to the commissary?" Ronon grinned at him, his stance showing he was ready to take off again.
Lorne, on the other hand, was quite surprised he was still standing up and responded, "Only if you want to carry me to the infirmary afterwards." Lorne saw an odd expression flit across the tall man's face, but then it was gone and he was being patted on the shoulder.
"Come on Major, let's get you something to eat."
It was an extremely welcome suggestion as Lorne had skipped breakfast to prevent puking it back up later when he was running his heart out. "Call me Evan." He told Ronon and was rewarded with a smile.
Ronon Dex felt his heart beating quickly against his chest. He knew, however, that his rapid pulse had little to do with the physical exercise he was performing. He glanced at the dark haired man jogging next to him and slowed slightly making sure he didn't outstrip him, something he could do quite easily. Silently he thanked Teyla, who had had the idea of inviting Lorne to go running with him in the first place. Usually Ronon disliked running inside, he was used to the feel of wind against his skin and grass under his feet. But today he barely noticed the metal flooring hitting his boots.
Suddenly he noticed that the military man was no longer next to him and skidded to a halt. He turned to hear Lorne apologizing, he was bent over, breathing heavily. Ronon took that time to notice how beads of sweat clung to the tips of the man's short hair, how the man's heaving back muscles stood out against the fabric of his t-shirt every time he drew breath.
"I'm tired too." Ronon said, willing his gruff voice to come out convincingly exhausted sounding.
Lorne's head snapped up at this, surprise etched across his face… apparently not so convincing. "You do this every morning?"
"Yeah." He shrugged, trying to act like it wasn't that big of a deal. "Helps me relax."
Lorne was staring at him, he wondered if there was something on his face.
"Guess I'm out of shape."
Ronon didn't agree with this at all and was about to say he thought Lorne was a perfect shape before he caught himself and said instead, "You do better than Sheppard."
"Really?" Lorne was smiling and Ronon swelled, knowing the lie had been worth it.
Lorne's head had swiveled to look around. Ronon quickly slid a concealed knife out of his dreads, checking his reflection in the blade. His companion turned back around causing Ronon to quickly stick his knife back into his hair, poking himself slightly. He winced, but tried to look casual as he massaged the back of his head.
Luckily Lorne didn't seem to have noticed anything odd and asked how he was settling into Atlantis. Ronon felt a flash of anger, remembering how he had knocked in the head of an extremely insolent jarhead. He tried to answer that it was okay but it came out as more of a grunt. He felt the flames of anger within him die as Lorne's gentle brown eyes studied him. "Some people are nicer than others." He told him, meaning one person in particular.
"Most people on Atlantis are really friendly once you get to know them."
Ronon knew this already, and he also knew he wanted to get to know Lorne much better. "This was fun," he started, trying to find the words to ask if they could do it again some time.
But before he was able to ask, Lorne laughed. Ronon became angry again thinking that Lorne was laughing at him. The anger left as quickly as it had come, however, when Lorne said, "I had a really good time."
"Race you to the commissary?" Ronon asked playfully.
"Only if you want to carry me to the infirmary afterwards."
Lorne had meant it as a joke but Ronon had a sudden flash of holding Lorne in a much different context. He shook his head to clear it then clapped the still panting man on the shoulder, "Come on Major, let's get you something to eat."
"Call me Evan." Ronon smiled.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: Two wheeled motorbikes have been part of our pass time since we were younger. Many years ago a few of us talked and joked about someday opening a scooter shop in the tropics. A large part of that dream involved participating in helping those on vacation have the time of their life. It wasn't until recently that we realized the Scooter Shop was really a metaphor for something slightly different. We purchased our first two properties on Maui in the beginning of 2013 under our new business partnership, Scooter Shop Properties. Our goal is to help those who stay at Scooter Shop Properties have the best vacation ever. We promise to be prompt, helpful and available to help in every way. We understand that traveling to Hawaii can be expensive so we are committed to having competitively affordable rates. We also have lots of good leads on inexpensive equipment rentals, food options and methods of saving you money. :) We are adventurous and helpful people by nature so please contact us for any help with places to sight see, eat, get coffee, swim, surf, SUP, shop, tour, snorkel, hike, bike, zip line etc. We want you to have the best vacation ever and we are so glad you chose Scooter Shop Properties. Mahalo from Scooter Shop Properties. :)
Why the Owner Chose Lahaina, HI, USA:
We chose Kaanapali Shores #732 for several reasons. First, the resort itself is top notch and in the best location for a truly hawaiian tropical experience. When you arrive at Kaanapali Shores, you know you've made it to Hawaii. Our unit is #732 which is perfectly situated so the sun does not beat directly into the unit unlike many of the front units. The view of the ocean and Molokai is also stunning. The kitchen is newly updated with granite counter tops and appliances.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The view from the lanai is amazing.

About Carol
Creating an oasis for bodywork that supports peace and personal growth.
My Background
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist
(LMT), Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt), Ordained Minister and author. In addition to spiritual studies, my background
includes the study of music, psychology and chemistry, and each has enhanced my practice and understanding of massage therapy.
When I was a child my mother often joked I would become a "masseuse" because she liked my backrubs. But
it was not until I received my first professional massage in 1995 that the idea of a career in massage therapy took hold for
me. I realized that dream in 2002. I absolutely love giving massage. Massage meets us
where we are, and delivers rich, multi-layered gifts in all five realms--physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual.
I'm devoted to my work and committed to facilitating and embodying health on all levels. I am grateful for each
opportunity to be a conduit of Divine Love and healing in this way.
Carol discusses ashiatsu and healing:
My Service
During your session you have my undivided attention and are my only concern.
I join with you on a spiritual level, and together we open to the Divine healing always available to all of us. I book
my sessions in such a way as to be fully energized and relaxed for your session. I do a brief but thorough
health history at the beginning of your first session to ensure your safety and design bodywork that is right for you.

Have you ever been to jail? I haven't. But being atmitted at Promen
feels a lot like I imagine jail would be like.
They have a very limiting structure and there is something else,
something that took me a few years to figure out, that makes you
highly dependable on the campony and it's managers.
Going to jail is ussually only for a few years. But after being
commited for having a disability or being unemployed, atmittens at
Promen is for life.
But I didn't notice this at first.
Promen seemed like every other company. Some rules and habbits
seemed a bit strange but… You do whatever pleases you…
Department 9 has four groups of tables aranged like an crouked "E".
The group where the manager placed me consists of 6 tables and is
situated at the vertical bar of the "E". The other three groups have
8 to 12 tables and are situated at the horizontal bars of the "E".
Every employee has his own seat and people can only change seats
with permission of the manager. Except that he never gives anyone
In between the groups of table there are lines of pallets stacked
with large boxes containing pieces of clothing we have to tag.
The rules aren't that stricked that we have to ask permission to go
to the bathroom. But we do need permission to go on a break or to go
Four times a day 20 minutes before break time or 20 minutes before
leaving for home, people stop working and line up at the invisible
line between the end of the fence and the corner of the door to
department 8.
Department 9 doesn't have a door.
Complaining about the long time they have to wait, people wait.
Wait until the whistle blows and they can go to the breakroom or can
leave to go home.
Although working hours only start by 8 o'clock most people arrive a
little earlier then that. Some much earlier. Some a lot earlier; the
company opens it's doors at 7 o'clock but some people are already
present before the doors are opened.
At 8 o'clock the whistle blows and people leave the breakroom and go
to department 9.
Tired and stressed out from the day before work starts very slowly.
By a quarter past 8 the manager and the foreman come running out of
the office to remind the employees that the orders they are working
on are urgent and should be rushed.
By nine o'clock the manager leaves for his daily meeting with his
two colleagues and the department explodes.
Almost at ones people start yelling and screaming against each
Most days there are two or three people, usually women, who get into
a fight. Usually about some small incident that happened years ago.
In most case the foreman or one of the colleagues tries to intervene
but usually that only servers to make the ladies even more angry.
And then after one and a half hour the manager comes back. Invites
the two ladies in his office and solves the problem.
Having autism I don't always recognize my feelings, otherwise I'd
probably remember this time as very frightening. As it was I only
experienced a lot of stress. But that was bad enough.
After a few days of being yelled at I started yelling back. Just to
not have the feeling that everybody is out to get me.
I don't remember much of the next three or four weeks. Except that I
yelled and screamed as much as the next guy.

The Netherlands and the US have made very different choices as to
how wealth should be distributed. In the US people feel that
everybody is entitled to become rich. Even if it is at the cost of others.
In the Netherlands we feel that everybody should have equal
opportunities. Which means, among other things, that the unemployed
should have enough money to live and that people with disabilities
should get some kind of benifits or work that is especially suited
for them.
So in the 1950s we got ower first unemployed benefits and in 1970
payed sick leave was started.
Of course all of this costs a lot of money, so nowadays the Dutch
government is strugling to keep this system of social security
(But then in the US 1% of the population owns 80% of everything. So
you decide which is better.)
When the Dutch sheltered workplaces first started they where only
meant for people with developmental disabilities. But by the 1980s a
lot of people, mainly construction workers, had a high degree of sick
leave, which made them very expensive workers. So they where also
place at the sheltered workplaces.
By the late 1990s the Dutch government decided that since unemployed
also costs a lot of money, unemployed people should also work at the
sheltered workplaces.
I've been unemployed for a large part of my life.
I finished school in the early 80s when the Netherlands was going
through an economic downfall and a lot of people where unemployed.
By 1985 I got lucky. I could get a IT training that was for 90%
sponsored by the local unemployed agency. After going to school for
a year I found a job that lasted a few years.
By 1992 I lost my job but by that time I had decided that I wanted
to go back to my first love and work with people with developmental
disabilities. Which meant going back to school for four years and
getting a payed internship which had to start before the second year
of school.
The first year at school went very well. I enjoyed it immensely. I
learned a lot about different techniques to change the behavior of
children and adults with all sorts of problems.
Before I started the training I didn't even know that was possible.
Thank to a classmate I found an internship a few months for the end
of the first year.
But the internship was an other story.
For some reason I didn't fit in.
The staff treated me as though I was doing everything wrong. Without
taking in account that I was still doing my training. Without ever
telling me what I was doing wrong.
After a few months I decided that there was something wrong with me
which made it impossible for me to work with disabled children and I
quit my internship.
Which meant that I couldn't start the second year of school.
(A few years later I found out that they where reorganizing the
whole field and that the institution I did my internship at was
destined for termination. Something they probably knew at the time.)
So by the middle of the nineties I was again unemployed.
I did some volunteers work. Worked as a cleaner at an institution
for people with disabilities. Worked as a janitor at a agency that
organized all kind of services for retired people. Worked at a
bicycle shop for a while.
But always short jobs.
In 2000 I was enrolled in Promen.
When I started at Promen, they had two sites. One site was at the
first floor of some other campony, the "Steenland location". And
then there was the main building. But I didn't get to see that for
an other year.
The "Steenland location" was a very large building that was split in
three large halls.
The main hall was about 60 meters squared and contained the
stockroom and department 9. Two side halls, each about 50 meter by
30 meters contained department 8 and department 10.
Department 9 was cornered of off the main hall using some fences and
walls that didn't reach the ceiling and there where about 40 people
in this department. Department 8 also had 40 people and department
10 about 80.
The first thing you noticed when you entered each of these
departments was the level of noise.
Each department had a radio that was booming at a deafening volume
but you couldn't hear it for the screaming and yelling of all the
people in the departments.
All the people of department 9 where up in arms. Fighting amongs
etc, etc…
The people of department 8 weren't fighting. But everybody on that
department had the feeling that everybody else was talking about
them. And everybody was trying to control their colleagues.
1e person: "…….."
2e person: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?"
1e person: "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU?"
2e person: "YES YOU ARE!!!"
1e person: "NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!"
2e person: "IF YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT ME THEN WHAT
1e person: "I WAS TALKING ABOUT …….."
2e person: "OK THIS TIME YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT
etc, etc…
Department 10 was kind of a mix of those two.
My first day at Promen a job coach took me to a little building
that was located in a corner of department 9. The building was used
as office space by the manager of department 9.
The manager asked me a few questions. Mainly whether I was able to
lift heavy boxes, which I was. And pointed me to an empty seat in
front of his office and told me to sit there.
And that was it. That was all the introduction I got.
From there I was left to fend for myself in one of the most hostel
of situations I've ever been in.
This is the first part of a story about my time at the sheltered
workplace Promen in the Netherlands. The problems Promen has and
it's likely future.

"Did you ever think about the purpose of life?" a friend of
mine asked 30 years ago.
I hadn't. Which was a good thing, he told me, he had and it forces
you to consider suicide.
Reading about it I quickly found that he was wrong.
Thinking about the purpose of life is actually considered part of
considering suicide. Because only people who end up considering
suicide ever do.
People who think about the purpose of life always think it's a
philosophical or a theological question. But Philosophers and
theologians never do. (At least not professionally.)
Philosophers don't because this question doesn't have an answer you
can check.
People have loads of idea of what the purpose of life might be.
Everyone beliefs something. But there is no way to prove that one
believe is better then an other.
So, as far as philosophers are concerned the purpose of life is a
theological question.
But theologians have a clear and simple answer to the questions of
The purpose of life is the serve God.
Nothing to think about.
People always think that you must be in very deep shit to
even choose to consider suicide, but that's actually not true.
Nobody ever chooses to consider suicide. People are drawn into
considering suicide by forces that are to big to control.
Feeling depressed and not finding an answer to the questions of life
it seems logical that you'd be better of dead. And that conclusion
leads to even deeper feelings of depression.
Thinking about how good it would be to be dead and wallowing in
feelings of depression for a few months it seems perfectly normal to
look for a way to kill yourself.
But, of course, wanting to die and knowing a way to kill yourself
isn't enough.
What would happen if there was an after life.
You could end up in a hell. A situation where you would feel even
more horrible then you feel right now.
So people spend a few month convincing themselves that death is the
absolute end. It's kind of like going to sleep. The only difference
being that you don't dream and you never wake up.
And of course if death is the absolute end, it means that there is
absolution. It's possible to get rid of those feelings of
You only have to die.
As you become more certain of the absolute end, more certain of the
absolution you feel the depression lifting. You actually start to
enjoy life again. A little.
The depression never completely goes away, but you feel a lot better
then you have in months. Or maybe even years…
But the depression never completely disappears.
So, as you reach the end of your tether you pick a time and a place
to finally leave this life. An other five days to bid the people and
places you loved a farewell and then you leave.
But those last five days you feel as though you're in heaven.
You have never felt this kind of bliss in you entire life.
You feel that your problems must be solved. How else could you feel
such joy.
Since you never wanted to die, but only wanted to get rid of those
feelings of depression you decide to not go through with it!
But the next day the feeling of depression are back.
And within a few months you again start thinking about the purpose
of life.
Assuming that you still have the will to live, there is
actually an other solution.
Thinking about the purpose of life and considering suicide is a
It's a trap because considering suicide generates it's own feelings
that are much stronger then the feelings that are generated by the
problems you have.
Just like some drugs have very high heights and very low lows, so
does considering suicide.
The depression you feel when you've decided that you'd better be of
dead is generated by that decision.
It has nothing to do with the problems you're experiencing.
The joy you feel as you become more certain that death is the
absolute end, doesn't have anything to do with you problems.
Again it's just a reaction to your thoughts.
The feelings of ecstasy you have in your last five days are a
reaction to that decision.
And when you decide not to go through with it you crash. From the
highest height you've ever known to the lowest low.
The solution is easy.
When people feel depressed and feel stuck. As though they are
imprisoned and have nowhere to go. They either start thinking about
the purpose of life. Or they think about the purpose of their
The questions about the purpose of your life are far easier to
answer, since they are a choice.
You get to choose.
You can decide what you want the purpose of your life to be.
And if you decide that you deserve more then being stuck, in most
case very easy to just walk out.
(Drop out of school, resign your job.)
I won't say that by walking out all your problems will be solved.
It won't.
But if being stuck is so depressing that you'd rather be dead.
Walking out will give you a lot of breathing room.

Senator Lamar Smith, who gave us SOPA, is at it again.
This time with the Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act that is supposedly
meant to make it impossible to spread child porn on the web.
Lamar Smith is not the only politician to claim that there is a lot of child porn on the
internet. It regularly happens that politicians claim that the internet is littered with
websites on things like how to become a suicide terrorist, how to build your own bomb and
child porn. But I never believed that. So a while ago I decided to research it.
It surprised me to find that there is actually a manual on becoming a suicide terrorist
written by Al Qaeda. It surprised me even more to find this manual on the website of the
But when I started reading it, it quickly became clear why the FBI would want to publish
It turns out to be the most boring document you'll ever find. With page up on page filled
with boring rules and regulations a good Muslim should follow before qualifying to become a
suicide bomber.
Then there is the English language Al Qaeda magazine.
Although I can't speak for other countries. The information they have on terrorism in the
Netherlands is far less then what I can find on any website of a local news paper.
Searching the Google list I found hundreds of news articles about terrorism.
Some videos of children playing to be a terrorist.
I found one video of a stupid Chinese kid who called himself a suicide bomber, put
firecrackers on his tummy and lit them.
But I didn't find any information on how to become a suicide terrorist.
The same is true for building bombs.
Following the Google list I first found a lot of sites claiming they could tell you how to build
your own atomic weapon. But where would you get your uranium from?
Searching further I found some information on the "Anarchist cooking book".
That was a pamphlet floated around several American universities in the seventies, which
apparently contained recipes on building bombs.
But the pamphlet lost it's popularity long before the internet gained popularity. And so
is was lost.
Then I came across a website that issued a warning:
Since there are no countries where it's legal for civilians to make bombs, you'll never find
a website written by anyone who has experience building bombs.
You only could find a site written by a wannabe.
And since wannabees don't know what they're talking about, and since most chemicals used in
explosives are not only explosive but also toxic. It's very likely that anyone trying to
build a bomb would end up dead long before finishing the bomb.
Searching further it actually became funny. As I reach the smoke and seed bombs.
I assume that you'll know what a smoke bomb is. But do you know what a seed bomb is?
I didn't.
A seed bomb is a small ball of clay filled with a few seeds, a little dirt and a little bit
of water. You throw it over your neighbors fence to plant some flowers in the middle of his
veggie patch. (Beware in the US this might be a felony.)
After that I found a lot of news paper articles, movies about bombs and history on bombs.
I only found one link to a social website titled "how to build a bomb easy" but that page
was deleted by the domain owner.
If you do a search for child porn you get the same kind of results.
A definition of child porn on Wikipedia.
A lot of sites with the laws on child porn in different countries.
Even more site from anti-child porn organisations.
A few scandals.
But no child porn.
(Disclaimer. Since it is illegal to download child porn, even by accident.
I couldn't research this subject as thorough as the other two.)
At first glance it seems a bit strange that you can't find any information on these three
subjects. Even if the web isn't littered there should be some information.
But after more thinking it becomes clear that there is a very good reason why I can't find
In a sense Google is a big list with the most interesting subjects of the web sorted by
demand. Not by supply.
Of the millions of people searching for suicide terrorist, only a very tiny fraction is
interested in becoming one. The large majority is interested in information on the damage
that is done by terrorism.
So websites with information on how to actually become a terrorist are sorted to the bottom
of the list.
The thing is that Google doesn't show you the whole list.
Google finds about 53,600,000 links but only shows the first 800.
The most popular sites are shown and the rest disappears in oblivion.
So even if Al Qaeda was able to create thousands of websites on terrorism they would never
show up in the search results. And the same holds true for the other subjects.
Which also explains why the content industry is always complaining that their content is
placed below the illegal downloads instead of at the top of the list.
Of the millions of people searching for Lady Gaga only a fraction is looking for tracks to
buy and the majority are looking for tracks to download.
Ironically this means that if the content industry would ever succeed in banning illegal
content they would end up even lower on the list, because more people would search for stuff
to download.
So just banning illegal content wouldn't be enough.
Which brings me to the question why an US senator would want to sponsor a law that makes it
impossible to find information that is impossible to find.
Is it that he just doesn't know that much about the internet or does he have alternative
As it turns out it mostly the latter.
Senator Lamar Smith is payed millions of dollars by the content industry to create laws that
will make it impossible to download music and movies via the internet.
This law will do just that by raising the costs of the internet.
This law compels ISPs to monitor everything their customers do and to save everything they
upload and download and every website they ever visit. And keep that information for at
least a year.
To comply with that law ISPs would have invest tens of millions of dollars in computers and
hard drives to save all this information.
And of course they would charge this to their customers. Thereby raising the price of an
internet subscription with hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month.
Which would take it out of reach of most people.
Thereby in effect breaking the internet.

The Scotts Valley Police Department D.A.R.E. program's primary mission is to
provide children with the information and skills they need to live drug and
violence-free lives. Through D.A.R.E. we establish positive relationships between
students and law enforcement, teachers, parents, and other community leaders.
D.A.R.E.'s innovative and highly effective curriculum was developed by Los Angeles Unified School District health education specialists. Our D.A.R.E. officers receive 80 hours of special training to be equipped with all the tools they need to teach a course in drug resistance and violence avoidance techniques.
D.A.R.E. lessons focus on providing accurate information about alcohol and drugs, teaching students decision-making skills, and showing them how to resist peer pressure. Our D.A.R.E. officers give students ideas for alternatives to drug use and violence.
Originally designed for elementary school students, D.A.R.E. has been expanded to reach middle and high school students as well. D.A.R.E. officers from Scotts Valley Police Department currently teach at Baymonte Christian School, Vine Hill School, Brook Knoll School, Scotts Valley Middle School, and Scotts Valley High School.
Our curriculum is open for review to any member of the community. For more information please contact the Scotts Valley Police Department Juvenile Division at (831) 440-5656, or visit the D.A.R.E. website.
Please follow these guidelines when visiting classroom:
We expect to have similar class sizes and may have some combination classrooms. Some teachers will be changing grade levels and we may also have some new staff members.
We do not accept requests for specific teachers. However we value your input regarding classroom environment.
Please do not bring siblings.
Thank you for your participation and cooperation.
SVEF Touch a Truck EVENT
Girl Scouts Take Action!
Each year, Girl Scouts of all levels come together to earn a Global Action Award. This award promotes a sisterhood among Girl Scouts by helping girls work together to make a difference on a topic that affects girls all over the world. This years theme is "Increasing Girls' Access to Education." The Girl Scouts discussed challenges girls face all over the world making it hard for girls to go to school and to finish their education. Topics included how distance, poverty, culture, violence at school, and cost all negatively impact their access to education.
To raise awareness and show appreciation for their school, on Wednesday, 29 March, the Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts Troops of Vine Hill Elementary School came together to to conduct a special project. When asked what project does Vine Hill need, Principal Ebert asked if the Girl Scouts could conduct a campus wide clean-up.
Eager to support the school, Girl Scouts from kindergarten to 5th grade conducted a grounds clean-up from outer edges of the school parking lot through to the playground and up in the bushes and tree by the Life Lab. Working together, the Girl Scouts collected enough trash to completely fill a large trash bin! Their efforts are a part of a global effort which includes 10 million girls in 146 countries working together to make the world a better place.
Thank you Junior Troops 10208 & 10232, Brownie Troop 10232, and Daisy Troop 10249!

IT has been nearly 70 years since this ominous rhyme was first recited to an antsy Lon Chaney Jr. in the 1941 film "The Wolf Man": "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night/May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."
Unfortunate for him — but fortunate for moviegoers — that he did not heed its warning, making it possible for future generations of cinematic lycanthropes to follow in his paw prints.
Unlike his monstrous pals Dracula and Frankenstein, the Wolf Man didn't spring from a popular work of 19th-century gothic fiction but took his inspiration from bits and pieces of mythology, fairy tales and superstition (and a less successful 1935 Universal film, "Werewolf of London"). The 1941 movie more or less established the template for the genre: The protagonist is usually a young man with some inner, unresolved conflict — one that comes spilling out violently (along, sometimes, with the innards of those closest to him) when he is transformed by supernatural means into a feral animal. By the end of the film we often find ourselves sympathizing with our hairy antihero, making it all the more tragic when he is killed, proving that man doesn't need fur and fangs to display his inner beast.
That formula has since undergone numerous transformations, as variations on the Wolf Man character have turned up in teen exploitation movies, comedies and even romances. And on Friday the bloodlines come full circle as Universal Pictures releases "The Wolfman," a remake of its 1941 classic, starring the already hirsute Benicio Del Toro in the title role. With so many werewolves on the prowl, here's a field guide to distinguishing among some of the most prominent specimens.Continue reading the main story
The Wolf Man (1941)
Lon Chaney Jr.
ORIGIN STORY If you think it's awkward when
you visit your parents, Larry Talbot (Chaney)
has a story to top yours. On a trip to his ancestral
Welsh homeland he is attacked by a werewolf
(ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bela Lugosi!)
who passes his curse along to him.
STRENGTHS Amplified power and senses; ability to grow extra layers of matted yak fur through slow-dissolve special-effects process; impeccable taste in Gypsy antiques.
WEAKNESSES Silver; torches; foggy moors; women with the inexplicable urge to go walking at night across foggy moors.
UNDOING Talbot meets his end at the wrong end of a silver walking stick wielded by his father who, while disappointed in his son's lifestyle, probably never intended to club him to death. Chaney lived to be typecast for another 30 years' worth of horror movies and television shows, playing everything from the son of Dracula (in "Son of Dracula") to a wolf-bitten straight man to Lou Costello (in "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein").
I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)
Michael Landon
ORIGIN STORY Like many of his peers Tony
Rivers (a pre-"Bonanza" Michael Landon) is
having strange nocturnal urges and finding
hair on his body he didn't previously possess.
In his case, though, it's because a malicious
hypnotherapist who's supposed to be treating
his teenage angst has instead been secretly regressing
him into a primitive, hirsute beast.
STRENGTHS Newfound fur to cover up embarrassing acne; explosion of young moviegoers who will see anything with the word teenage in its title.
WEAKNESSES Gymnasts; school bells; Susan Sontag's "Notes on 'Camp'"; anyone sufficiently familiar with Darwinian theory to know that werewolf is not a step on the evolutionary ladder.
UNDOING When his no-good therapist puts him into a trance, Rivers is unexpectedly roused from his slumber by another irritating bell — a telephone — which sends him into a frenzy and causes him to murder the evil doctor. During his rampage he is shot by police, putting him on the highway to werewolf heaven.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
David Naughton
ORIGIN STORY It's hard to feel too sorry for the
American tourists David (David Naughton)
and Jack (Griffin Dunne), who, on a excursion
through Yorkshire, fail to notice the obvious
signs — like a pub called the Slaughtered
Lamb, with a pentagram on its wall — that
they're about to be the main courses in a monster
movie. Oblivious, they venture out into
the night, where a werewolf slaughters Jack
and converts David to his brood.
STRENGTHS The usual animalistic enhancements and blood lust, plus some truly stellar transformation effects (which won an Academy Award for the makeup artist Rick Baker) and a wink-wink soundtrack of songs about the moon ("Blue Moon," "Moondance," "Bad Moon Rising").
WEAKNESSES Tendency to wake up naked among the animals of the London Zoo; frequent visits from Jack, who is now a decomposing member of the undead; persistent comparisons to competing werewolf films "Wolfen" and "The Howling."
UNDOING Just as he's confessing his love to the comely nurse (Jenny Agutter) who attended him after his attack, David is shot and killed by the police. Hey, if you want a happy ending, see the sequel-cum-remake, "An American Werewolf in Paris."
Teen Wolf (1985)
Michael J. Fox
ORIGIN STORY Because audiences probably
couldn't bear to see Michael J. Fox get bitten
by wild creatures, his character, a young misfit
named Scott Howard, comes to his werewolf
status via a genetic condition. As his classmates
find out about this, they're surprisingly
cool with it, perhaps because they have little to
fear from a 5-foot-4 wolf man.
STRENGTHS Increased popularity; substantially improved aptitude for basketball; a movie poster that prominently promotesMr. Fox's role in "Back to the Future," which opened one month earlier.
WEAKNESSES The crushing realization that everyone likes his wolf form better than his human self; an adenoidal, none-too-intimidating howl; dance moves that seem more than just inspired by the video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
UNDOING In a rare departure from genre conventions, things actually work out fine for Scott, who helps his high-school team win the championship basketball game without resorting to his wolf side, thus making the world safe for Jason Bateman in "Teen Wolf Too."
Wolf (1994)
Jack Nicholson
ORIGIN STORY In a long-ago era, when book
publishing still seemed like a cutthroat and
terrifying industry, Will Randall (Jack Nicholson)
is a faltering editor in chief who's losing
his wife and his job to a young hotshot (James
Spader). But a fateful bite from a wolf imbues
him with new confidence, aggression and a
yen for raw venison.
STRENGTHS Superhuman potency and attractiveness to the alluring daughter (Michelle Pfeiffer) of his publishing imprint's new owner; increased flexibility of eyebrows; freedom to mark his territory on his business rival's shoes. (Note: Mr. Nicholson may have already possessed these qualities off screen as well.)
WEAKNESSES Susceptible to enchanted amulets and huge budget overruns; tendency to turn friends and acquaintances into werewolves too.
UNDOING Randall and his protégé face off in wolf form, and because it is still the 1990s, Mr. Nicholson prevails. (Don't worry, Mr. Spader will live to be smug another day on "The Practice" and "Boston Legal.") But why does Ms. Pfeiffer now have a certain savage look in her eyes?
Underworld (2003)
Michael Sheen
ORIGIN STORY When he's not playing Tony
Blair, Michael Sheen is a central figure in a dynastic
werewolf saga that's as byzantine as
any government: he plays Lucian, the centuries-
old progenitor of a race of virally mutated
Lycans, who feud with pistol-packing vampires
called Death Dealers.
STRENGTHS Immortality; resistance to silver; power to transform from human to wolf at will; ability to earn a living while waiting for Peter Morgan to write his next biographical film.
WEAKNESSES Over the course of three "Underworld" films, Lucian has demonstrated almost no vulnerability to any conventional form of attack — even the withering reviews of critics who find the movies' internal mythology increasingly difficult to follow.
UNDOING From his ascent as the child of a slave to his place at the head of an aristocratic werewolf clan, nothing has yet impeded Lucian's progress — nor prevented Mr. Sheen from playing a nearly identical vampire role in the "Twilight" films.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Taylor Lautner
ORIGIN STORY From his peripheral role in
"Twilight," Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) gets
a promotion and a spiffy new haircut for the
sequel, "New Moon," as a young (and very
buff) member of an American Indian werewolf
tribe who helps Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)
nurse her broken heart over the vampire Edward
Cullen (Robert Pattinson).
STRENGTHS Chiseled musculature that reveals itself whenever werewolf transformation deprives him of his garments, or when it's simply too warm (in the Pacific Northwest) to wear shirts; ability to sense danger when companions are under attack from vampires.
WEAKNESSES Inability to sense danger when companions are under attack from Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards; unreciprocated attraction to pale-skinned humans; bland geniality.
UNDOING It's not Jacob who needs to worry about his future so much as the producers of the "Twilight" movies, who will have to find a non-icky way to explain why he falls in love with Bella's newborn daughter in the franchise's final installment, "Breaking Dawn."
The Wolfman (2010)
Benicio Del Toro
ORIGIN STORY How proud is Universal Pictures
of its remake of the 1941 great-granddaddy
of lycanthropy films, starring Benicio Del
Toro in the role of poor afflicted Larry Talbot?
Proud enough that the studio wouldn't screen
any part of the movie or provide interviews
with its cast members or director, Joe Johnston
("Jumanji"). Hoooowwwwl!
STRENGTHS A starry lineup that also includes Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins; the distant possibility that the film is being reworked to include unused footage from "Avatar."
WEAKNESSES Numerous delays in the film's planned release, from November 2008 to February 2009 to April 2009 to November 2009 to Friday; reports of reshoots and last-minute editing changes; the unlikelihood that adding layers of latex to Mr. Del Toro's face and putting fang-filled dentures in his mouth will make him more intelligible.
UNDOING "The Wolfman" faces tough openingweekend competition from another horror show: the date-bait ensemble comedy "Valentine's Day," with Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jessica Biel and dozens more.

Forms & Sample Reports
Very few tenant screening companies are allowed to display the BBB Accredited Business Seal.
AAA Credit screening is proud to be a longtime Gold Star Member of the
Better Business Bureau
From Criminal Background Records To A Credit Check, AAA Provides You With Information You Can Use
[Posted on Dec 06]
AAA Credit Screening Services provides a number of background checks that reveal important information about an individual. These reports are used by landlords, employers, human resources managers, lenders and others who need to be sure that the person they're dealing with is trustworthy. Unlike other companies that offer similar reports, AAA Credit Screening Services also makes sure our clients fully understand the information we provide when the requested reports are returned. Because we recognize that you may have limited time to make your decision regarding the person in question, when you request a credit check, criminal background records, a motor vehicle report, tenant check or other information from AAA Credit Screening Services, you'll have the results quickly, sometimes on the same business day.
Whether you're a landlord or an employer, you'll be given information from the potential tenant or employee via an application or resume. They'll likely also offer references that you'll be able to contact. The problem you'll face is knowing how accurate or complete the history they've provided actually is. It's easy for someone to omit a past job that didn't end well or a former place of residence that they left on bad terms. The references they provided are probably going to be people that will give them positive feedback.
In many cases, people are being honest and the information they've provided reflects the truth but there are many examples of instances when that wasn't the case. In order to fully protect yourself, you need to go the extra step and access the information that is available so that you can make a fully informed decision regarding this person's future as your tenant or employee. It's also true that the fact that you notify individuals that you will be conducting a background screening can often scare them enough to withdraw from consideration.
It's always better to learn about any negative history of an individual sooner rather than later and anyone that has made that mistake will attest to that. With the help of AAA Credit Screening Services, you can verify a person's employment or rental history, their checking account information as well as obtain a state criminal check or a credit check. Any of these reports will shed light on the person you're considering entering into a relationship with and should they have a red flag show up, you'll be glad you learned about it now rather than down the line.

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller
Getting linky with it.
Enough about USC's defense... what about the job Arizona's defense did against the Trojans? But the physical game means it's a good week for a bye.
Considering the two state of Arizona athletic programs: Things are changing. Which is the football school? Which is the basketball school? It's all very confusing.
Headed to Oregon State, Arizona State is on the verge of its first six-game losing streak since 1929. Maybe a new punter will help.
A three-TD win over UCLA didn't answer all California's questions with Oregon coming to town, and there are more injury issues on the offensive line.
Jeremiah Masoli has earned the starting quarterback job for Oregon.
Oregon State probably used its off-week to shore things up in the secondary, which was spotty against Washington.
Good story on Stanford center Alex Fletcher, who's the leader of the Pac-10's most physical offensive line.
UCLA needs a spark on offense: Is a quarterback change the answer? Maybe.
USC needs a lot of things to go its way to get back into the BCS title game.
No news out of the Washington football office as of yet but any remaining mystery about coach Tyrone Willingham's possible survival is gone.
Washington State coach Paul Wulff has a plan.

'My intention was to do something that was definitely not passive," says Paulo Melim Andersson of his first season's offering for the French fashion label Chloe. "I didn't want to do passive romance," he continues. "It didn't feel relevant. I think there's been a lot of that for the past few seasons and I don't think it's the way forward."
The move in this direction was a clever one on the part of the designer. Those taking over from respected industry figures find it far from easy - in this case, Melim Andersson's predecessor was Phoebe Philo, whose success while working at Chloe needs no explaining. If the new designers adhere strictly to a time-honoured formula, they risk appearing bereft of their own ideas. If they exercise an overly radical departure, the client base - and in this case, it was burgeoning - may stray to pastures new.
For his part, Melim Andersson achieved just the right balance between old and new. The Chloe customer will be relieved to find the short, square-cut tunic shape she has come to know and love all present and correct, but only in dark colours accented with red, orange and pea green, whereas previously it might have been rather more frothy, crisp and white. The Chloe bag, meanwhile - remember this is the label behind the phenomenally lucrative Paddington among others - is oversized and fashionably utilitarian, designed to be worn slung diagonally across the body and the perfect match for the all-important Chloe shoes. These echo the hugely popular wedge-heeled look, which has become the label's signature, but exaggerated to rocking horse proportions. They are, by designer fashion standards at least, as hard as the proverbial nails and openly inspired by nothing more obviously haute than a pair of Dr Marten's boots.
Melim Andersson, who was appointed to the helm at Chloe in October last year, was born in Madeira and grew up in Sweden, establishing his creative talent early on in a less than predictable manner. Aged 7 the fledgling designer won a Lego Championship in Sweden, doubtless much to the delight of his diplomat father. Before entering into a career as a fashion designer, he studied literature at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1994, he accepted a place at London's Central Saint Martins, graduating four years later. While continuing his studies at the Royal College of Art, Melim Andersson worked part-time for Maison Martin Margiela until 1999, when he moved to Marni where he worked as a design director for more than seven years alongside Consuela Castiglioni.
If Marni is the brand of choice for those wishing to wear designer fashion that is more interesting than most but still far from challenging, Chloe has always been more openly accessible. It is among the most copied names on the high street. In the summer of this year Chloe successfully took Topshop to task, forcing the chain to destroy 2,000 lemon yellow overall dresses that were judged too similar to one of its designs and pay £12,000 in compensation to boot.
The Chloe label was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisian whose bohemian spirit led to a rejection of the stiff formality of the fashions of that decade. Instead, Chloe - the name was chosen for its warmth and femininity, by all accounts - would be dedicated to the creation of soft, body conscious clothing cut from fine fabrics and labelled "luxury prêt-à-porter". Clothes as beautifully made as these had not, until this point, been available ready to wear. The production values and attention to detail involved in the manufacture of Chloe went on to become one of its most potent selling points. Aghion debuted the first collection over breakfast at the famous existentialist haunt, Cafe de Flore in 1956. Chloe threw a party there in 2006 to celebrate 50 years in business.
Aghion hired bright young talent - Karl Lagerfeld among them - to produce Chloe collections long before it was fashionable to do so. Lagerfeld became the house's head designer in 1966 and under his brilliant direction Chloe became one of the most iconic fashion brands of the 1970s. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Brigitte Bardot, Maria Callas and Grace Kelly all shopped at Chloe in search of the some of the most finely crafted daywear imaginable. Gauzy and unashamedly romantic, Chloe was worn by any woman of means worth her fashion credentials throughout that decade. Lagerfeld left Chloe in 1983, only to return in 1992 following a stint by Martine Sitbon at the label. He remained in control there until 1997 when Stella McCartney, barely out of fashion college, took his place.
McCartney's was a controversial appointment and any scepticism was only fuelled by Lagerfeld's intervention. "Chloe, isn't that a T-shirt label?" he quipped not long after McCartney's appointment was announced. Detractors said the younger designer had only been given the position to ensure a celebrity following and the column inches which that guaranteed. The Richemont Group, a luxury goods conglomerate that bought Chloe in 1985, were not disappointed by a supermodel line-up at McCartney's first show that rivalled that of Gianni Versace's heyday. And, of course, Sir Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda, took pride of place front row. Whether one attributes it to hype or ability, sales rose and those who remained unconvinced by McCartney's talent were quick to identify the secret of her success as her righthand woman and good friend, Philo.
It came as no surprise, then, that when McCartney left Chloe in 2001 to set up her own label in partnership with the Gucci Group, Philo replaced her, garnering both critical and commercial acclaim until 2005.
If Philo's vision of Chloe was playful, Melim Andersson's, while still feminine, is more irreverent still. This is at least partly a result of fashion's more confrontational mood, a mindset that has led to everyone from Dolce & Gabbana to Burberry to exercise a reactionary streak. Melim Andersson's is the perhaps the most spirited, however.
"She's angry but funny-angry," is how the Chloe designer described his muse this season, speaking to the influential American Vogue website, style.com, adding that she may well also be "a girl who steals from her mother".

Ready Player One: A Review
Ready Player One ended being a much, much better book than one would assume at face value. On the surface, the story surrounds a gamer named Wade, as he attempts to make friends and find a hidden Easter egg treasure deep within the bowels of the largest multi-player game ever concocted, OASIS. But there are catches: the people he's friends with are also competing for the prize; a huge conglomerate corporation is trying to steal it out from under them; and the only person who even knew where to find the keys to get to the tests to try to win the prize was the game's mastermind, who started the contest in his last will and testament.
The prize? $2.4 billion and a controlling stake in his company.
Ready Player One actually tends to make the reader forget that they're reading about a character playing a game, and when compared to the "real" world, it's easy to see how that happens. By the point the story begins, Earth has been absolutely ravaged by war and food and fuel shortages, and has become little more than an apocalyptic wasteland where people have to scrape a living together to get by. This is the world OASIS was born into, and this is the world that gave it the distinction of being the biggest game in world history. And then the contest starts.
Cline has littered the book with references to and trivia of pop culture from the last thirty years, so reading the story is almost like an exciting trip through nostalgia. The characters are fun, the story's engaging, and the stakes are high. Ready Player One becomes a page turner quickly, and definitely deserves the distinction.
