The Nebraska Air National Guard's Joint Force Headquarters staff recently received the U.S. Air Force Organizational Excellence Award by the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council Awards and Decorations Branch, for the period of Oct. 1, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2015. This marks the third straight time that the Air Guard headquarters has received the prestigious award, which was officially presented to the organization on Feb. 11 during an early morning ceremony.
According to Brig. Gen. Keith Schell, Nebraska Air National Guard assistant adjutant general, the award is recognition of the quality of work that the members of the Nebraska Air National Guard headquarters staff are doing.
"Receiving the Air Force Organization Excellence Award is a significant accomplishment for our Airmen because it recognizes the dedication, the climate of inclusion and service of all members of our team," Schell said. "We take great pride in answering the call of duty and are ready to serve wherever and whenever we are needed in Nebraska or anywhere else around the globe."
Brig. Gen. Wendy Johnson, Nebraska National Guard Joint Staff assistant adjutant general, echoed those sentiments.
"Our Airmen, as part of the joint team, support and accomplish a variety of local, state, federal, emergency management and homeland security missions every day while staying positively engaged with the local community," Johnson said. "This award was earned, not given, and each Airman played an integral role by putting our core values – 'Integrity First,' 'Service before Self,' and Excellence in All We Do' – into action."
The award specifically recognized the work Nebraska Airmen did conducting groundbreaking domestic preparedness training events that culminated in the first-ever full-scale Joint Force Headquarters Continuity of Operations exercise. That exercise saw nearly 300 personnel relocate to alternate operating sites enabling the continued performance of essential functions.
Additionally, JFHQ-assigned Airmen achieved successes in recruiting, retention, professional development programs and Civil Support Team agency assistance while increasing State Partnership Program engagements. JFHQ Airmen also provided support to numerous community outreach events including media support for domestic operations training events, the National Guard marathon team trials and the State Games of America.
Schell said he fully believes that the numerous contributions made by the Citizen Airmen leading to the recognition would not have been possible without the steadfast and unwavering support of their families and friends.
The Secretary of the Air Force authorized the AFOEA on Aug. 26, 1969, to recognize the achievements and accomplishments of U.S. Air Force organizations or activities. It is presented to Air Force internal organizations that are entities within larger organizations. They are unique, unnumbered organizations or activities that perform functions normally performed by numbered wings, groups or squadrons.
Airmen assigned to the element for at least one day during the qualifying period are authorized to wear the AFOEA ribbon.

This week I've been writing about women who have influenced my life and the way I live it. For today's final post in the series, I'm writing about my sister, Dr. April Westbrook. I don't always use a person's title to identify him or her, but my sister worked so long and so hard to complete that degree that I take special pleasure in using it to celebrate her accomplishment.
If you were meeting my sister for the first time, you'd see an accomplished professor of Old Testament studies, a woman who is known for her ability to see the truth and speak that truth without hesitation. At times I'm sure her students wish for a little less truth and a little more fudging the details, especially around the end of term when grades are given. She is also known for her dedication to her students, relentlessly encouraging them to completely inhabit their potential and abilities. What you learn as you get to know her is how transparently she lives her life before God. Socrates may have thought an unexamined life wasn't worth living, a sentiment I agree with by the way. My sister shows with her actions that a life unexamined by God has not been fully examined. Not to imply that God is some kind of all-powerful taskmaster, constantly on the alert for the smallest mistake we make. Just the opposite. God is always available to help us understand who we are, what we're capable of, and how we can live our lives fully as we were created to do.
If you'd met my sister as a child, I don't think you would have predicted what she has accomplished and become today. Even as a baby, she was generally quiet and shy. She was small, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and she reminded me of Tweety-Bird (although without his brassy personality!). She was born two and a half years after me (to the day, I like to point out). She was a thoughtful child and in the family we said that she was so tender hearted, if you directed a harsh expression in her direction, you'd make her cry. She loved Stuart Little, Laura Ingalls and Lucy Pevensie. One thing that was evident from an early age, was her desire to know God and to be known by God.
I was lucky enough to spend several of my young adult years sharing an apartment with my sister. During this same period of time, I taught a class of first and second graders in the education department at the church where my sister was the Education Pastor. So you could say she was my boss, which was exactly what I said to my class. The kids all thought of her as the equivalent of a school principal and were consistently brought to giggles by the thought of me being sisters with the "principal." But then, my sister has always been able to make people laugh. She has an amazingly quick sense of humour, and there isn't anyone I'd rather trade movie quotes with (our favourite quotable movies include "The Princess Bride," "Galaxy Quest," "Roxanne," and so many, many others).
When I think of the ways my sister influences my life, I'm immediately drawn to the Marcus Aurelius quote: "The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are." For me, she embodies this description. Her habit of meditating with God is the foundation for keeping an untroubled spirit. Her habit of living transparently strengthens her ability to look at her life with clear-eyed honesty. Watching her live her life this way encourages and challenges me in my own efforts to live a well-examined life. My life is enriched as a result.
I hope these quick sketches of some of the women who have influenced my life are inspiring you to look for the influential women in your own life and celebrate the gifts they've given you. The other posts in the series will tell you more about why I've focused on these women, about the woman who taught me what it means to be a survivor, about the woman who showed me how men and women can partner together, and about the woman who inspired my sense of purpose. Let's celebrate the influential women in our lives, and let's be an influential example for the women and girls around us.

Train Wreck - Graffiti Wall Design by Troy Duff
Train Wreck - Graffiti Wall Design by Troy Duff
Real Graffiti designs by master artist Troy Duff.
We needed art for walls of the showroom. We've been quite taken with the work of the urban street artist, Troy Duff, so much so that we commissioned him to create some artwork for the new studios.
The thrill seeing him create one of his pieces on a blank canvas (or sheet of steel or cinderblock wall) makes for a great experience. He begins with the most basic of lines, then adds a base color or colors. The intent begins to become obvious, but the final product still remains a mystery. The highlights and the patterns within the solid colors bring depth to the piece and suddenly it leaps from the surface.
The final steps adding the black outline and white highlights crisp up all of the soft edges and bring to life what is yet another masterpiece. What he created for us for the showroom is among his best work yet.
- Shipping: Price includes delivery in Continental US. Remote areas or international shipping may require additional fees.
- Decor, wall hangings, framed prints, come assembled and ready for you to install. (Large & Heavy Items include our white glove service (delivery, set up, and removal of all packing materials) leaving you ready to enjoy your new item.
Gift cards are excellent for last minute presents or when you just can't choose a piece of our work as your gift! They are available in several denominations. The perfect way to give them exactly what they're hoping for - even if you don't know what it is. Cards are redeemable for anything available in our store at time of redemption. We will mail your card to the address you provide at checkout.

The National Trial Lawyers recently named him one of the top 100 trial lawyers in America.
Mr. Adam led the first defense team that represented former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in his 2010 federal corruption trial. During that trial, the former governor was convicted on just one count, after the jury deadlocked on the remaining 23 counts. Mr. Adam--alongside of his father, Sam Adam, Sr.--also served as part of the legal defense team that successfully represented superstar R & B singer R. Kelly in his pornography trial.
Interview rough notes
I'm interested in how you see the Christie story and how it relates to the Blagojevich case.
I see Chris Christie having RICO or wire and mail fraud problems coming down the line.
Rob: RICO? How's that?
Witholding funds in Hoboken-- "that's exactly what happened with Blagojevich
Pay to play politics or quid pro quo.
Criminality of Bridgegate?
There are so many laws on the books that you can get anybody for anything, if you want to.
How do Feds use Bridgegate-- open the door.
"If I were representing Christie"."
Sit down and go through contributions list. Feds will be looking at every single individual who gave a contribution.
How DO federal prosecutions work in a case like Blagojevich or Christie?
Rob: There's also the case of the Hurricane ad campaign that looks like a promotion for Christie.
Now, he has the insulation of having a crew of people to sign off on orders, so he didn't have to, protect him?
Chris Christie ally David Wildstein pleads Fifth
How will the feds use people like David Wildstein, who has plead the fifth, to get to Christie?
Start offering immunity down below so you can work up the chain.
Starting below and working their way up.
Lying to a federal agent is a crime.
If I were a federal agent I would"
Reid Schhar prosecuted Blago in Illinois -- hired by legislature to investigate Christie.
Rob-- starting lower down and working up, in terms of immunity sounds bottom up.
Christie, as a former US attorney with over 100 convictions for pay to play, is going to know how prosecution works.
Blago believed he was going to run for president.
Christie wants to run for president in 2016. As a defense attorney, that's a killer.
And in ALabama, Don Siegelman was charged and is now in jail"
There may have been direct campaign contributions for this project to be supported.
What is Violation of wire and mail fraud and how is it different than the RICO act? What are the differences?
Rob: It's real clear to me that if the feds want to mess with your life, it's easy for them to do that if you simply breath.
Blagojevich ended up getting 14 years. The reason I think Christie may have a serious problem is"
Rob: What's the decision tree in the feds deciding to throw all their resources against Christie and what would that look like?
speculation that much of Christies problem is coming from the extreme right wing, that Koch brothers might be behind it.
Let's say the feds decide to go all out against Christie. How will that affect his life?
If there are any potential affairs, they will go after him.
WHen he was a US attorney, and Michele Brown was a US attorney, Christie loaned her $50,000, then, as governor, he gave her $225,000 job she was totally unqualified for.
What about funds for his defense? Is he allowed to use the resources of the state to pay for his defense?
Blagojevich was allowed to use campaign funds, but Judge doled it out at public defender rates. We went through $2.8 million at public defender rates before the trial started. Public defender rates are $100 an hour. Usual legal rates are $750 or more /hour.
Now, there are 23 charges that you defended Blago against that the prosecutors failed to win on.
Then, when he was tried a second time, he was convicted. What were the charges that were hung jury and what happened the second time?
What happened with Blago when he was in court the second time? Why didn't you represent him the second time?
I had to go toe to toe with the judge and risk going to jail. The prosecution knew my tricks and strategies. And the government learned from the first trial where their weaknesses were.
NSA metadata use by law enforcement people and prosecutors. Is this something that defense attorneys are aware of?
Rob: Would it be wise to ask in every single case whether NSA data was used.
I have not, but from this moment forward I will.

Wat Pho
Wat Pho or Temple of the Reclining Buddha, Bangkok
Having been built during the Ayutthaya Period, Wat Phra Chetuphon was previously known as "Wat Photharam or Wat Pho". During the reign of King Rama I the Great of the Royal House of Chakri, the monastic complex was restored with a new Phra Ubosot (main chapel), Phra Rabiang (cloisters) and Phra Wihan (assembly hall) and re-established it as a royal temple with the title of Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangklawat. King Rama III managed the decorating of the surrounding walls of the Sala Rai or satellite pavilions with inscriptions from medical texts on plaques. Although King Rama I the Great had established the temple, every King of the Royal House of Chakri saw it as one of the most important royal temples. The restoration was conduct continuously using traditional methods. It was also considered Thailand's first university as the temple gathered inscriptions of all knowledge pertaining to traditional medicines, history and literature.
Inside the main chapel or Phra Uposot is the principal Buddha image, depicting "Phra Phuttha Theira Patimakon" seated on a three tiered pedestal, which has underneath some ashes of King Rama I the Great. Thailand's 4th beautiful and largest Reclining Buddha or Phra Phutthasaiyat is located in the Phra Wihan. The sole of the statue's feet are inlaid with mother-of-pearl showing the 108 auspicious signs of the Buddha.
Thais believe that if you bring a flower garland, 9 incense sticks, 2 candles, and 11 gold leaves to pay respect to the Reclining Buddha, you will have a happy life. The word "Pho" means Bodhi Tree. The shade of the tree offers cooler temperatures and comfort. This concept is also applied to the teaching of the Lord Buddha, which offers people enlightenment and happiness.
This temple complex has 99 chedis, considered the highest number found in any temple in Thailand. There are also 4 of the Phra Maha Stupa, each dedicated to the Chakri King including Rama I to IV.
How to Get There
Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhlaram is located behind the Grand Palace, Sanam Chap Road, Phra Barom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok. As with Wat Phra Kaeo, you can take a city bus to get there, but for a few dollars more, why not either take a taxi directly there, or join a tour which takes you to several temples all in one day?

Debby Ryan is ready to take off in her new show "Jessie." It was just announced yesterday that 7 more episodes of the show have been ordered before it has even aired! So exciting.
Debby recently dropped by our studios to chat all about "Jessie" and her adorable co-stars. Here's what she had to say:
On "Jessie": "The whole premise is she [Jessie] moves to New York City to follow her dreams on her own with no plan and just kind of does her thing. People go and find themselves and take breaks before college and end up in interesting places and meeting interesting people, so it showcases that side of growing up."
On growing with her fans: "My biggest thing going into it was I was 12 when I started watching "Suite Life" and now I'm 18. A lot of my fans were 12, 13, 14 when they started watch "Suite Life" and now they're 18, 19, 20. I'm doing it for the "Suite Life" fans and the people who are getting a little bit older while still making it really fun for the parents to sit and watch with their friends."
On the kids: "I call them my nuggets. They're amazing. They're four of the coolest, most diverse, talented, hard working kids."
Debby also told us about being very involved in the whole process of the show, from development to wardrobe to casting. "Jessie" is set to premiere this Fall on Disney Channel.

Trisha's Supah Ono Pea Salad
• Equal parts of Sour Cream and Mayonnaise, enough to cover the bowl of peas you're making with a thick layer
• Agave syrup, honey, sugar or any type of sweetener to slighly sweeten your sour cream and mayo' mixture
• A dash of hot sauce (Hawaiian Chili Pepper water would be ideal)
• 1 bag of frozen peas
• 1 can of water chestnuts, cut into slivers
• Celery, slivered, enough to evenly mix
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese, enough to evenly mix and top the dish
• Sauteed crispy bacon strips, enough to evenly mix and top the dish
Begin by combining the mayonnaise and sour cream, agave syrup and hot sauce to achieve the flavor profile you like and set aside.
In a separate serving bowl, pour in the bag of frozen peas, unthawed, then add in enough cheddar cheese, slivered water chestnuts, slivered celery, and some of the sauteed bacon bits, then stir to combine.
Top with the Sour Cream, Mayo', Agave and Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water mixture, top with more Bacon strips and cheddar cheese, then store in fridge overnight, which gives the peas enough time to thaw out.
Next day, serve and enjoy.
This recipe comes from Pomai's coworker from Accounting, Trisha. Even if you DESPISE green peas, you will LOVE this decadently tasty "salad"! Just look at the ingredients!

"This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century."
- MacArthur Foundation
Miguel Zenón & The Rhythm Collective
Featuring: Miguel Zenon - alto sax
Aldemar Valentin - electric bass
Joel Mateo - drums
Reynaldo de Jesus percussion
Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz.
Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón studied classical saxophone at the Escuela Libre de Música in Puerto Rico before receiving a bachelors degree in Jazz Studies from Berklee College of Music, and a masters degree in Jazz Performance at Manhattan School of Music. Zenóns more formal studies, however, are supplemented and enhanced by his vast and diverse experience as a sideman and collaborator. Throughout his career he has divided his time equally between working with older jazz masters and working with the musics younger innovators --irrespective of styles and genres. The list of musicians Zenón has toured and/or recorded with includes: The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersh, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, The Mingus Big Band, Bobby Hutcherson and Steve Coleman.
His latest release Oye!!! Live in Puerto Rico (Miel Music, 2013) features the debut recording of The Rhythm Collective, an ensemble first put together in 2003 for a month long tour of West Africa. The group includes Aldemar Valentín on Electric Bass, Tony Escapa on Drums and Reinaldo de Jesus on percussion; all native Puerto Ricans and some of the most coveted musicians in their respective fields. Fed by the energy of the full capacity audience in attendance, the group delivers a high intensity performance which includes originals by Zenon and covers of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" and Silvio Rodriguez' "El Necio".

Linfield chairman Roy McGivern has ruled out a potential match with Celtic taking place on 12 July, which would have clashed with Orange Order marches.
The Northern Irish champions have been drawn against La Fiorita of San Marino in the Champions League first qualifying round, and if they progressed they will face Scottish champions Celtic.
The first leg of the fixture is provisionally dated for 11/12 July but both parties are said to be happy to avoid playing the match on July 12.
"We've also had a chat with UEFA and we had ruled out July 12 for obvious reasons, purely from a practical point of view," McGivern told RTE Sport.
"Our preference is to play the home leg first, for financial reasons that's obviously the best thing for us.
"At this stage the first leg would be on 11 July, potentially with an early kick-off but there are discussions going on at home now with the PSNI to see how that would be managed.
"That is the preferred option at the moment but there have been no discussions about switching the games at all.
"Celtic are relaxed about it and they seem happy enough to play in Belfast on 11 July."

My landscapes are an attempt to capture the transitory character of the natural world. I paint landscape as a way to preserve or recall a particular scene that I would otherwise pass by. I love how light can animate even the most ordinary scene, and I hope to express that quiet joy by creating a lasting impression of that moment on canvas. I look for the overlapping patterns in nature for my subjects. Often these are more sensed than seen—it takes careful observation of the nuanced colors and the multitude of details to discover the inherent composition in a landscape.
Once these patterns reveal themselves, I interpret them with oil paint. It begins with the careful choosing and mixing of colors while being sensitive to values and color temperatures. These are then applied to the canvas in layers using purposeful brush strokes. Selective glazing is then used to add depth. My satisfaction with a painting comes from how well the distillation of the information
I saw in a scene comes together to capture the mood.
My hope for viewers is that they feel invited into the painting. I like to think of my paintings as gateways into a different way of seeing our world. Our busy lives demand so much of our attention that moments of reflection are precious but all too often are overlooked. Capturing a momentary scene in paint saves that moment for subsequent reflection.
I am also an avid musician, runner, and hiker, all which influence my art. Trying to master the complex phrasing of a seemingly simple blues tune reminds me of the challenge of mixing the subtle variations of colors found in nature. Running in my rural neighborhood, I notice the fleeting changes of mood and light in the everyday, which inspires me to try to paint those passing moments.

Ferment Fortnight kicks off its biannual explosion of work-in-progress and scratch performances from 26 Jan. Here House of Blakewell give us an inside look into the world of Thor and Loki. Catch it at the Wardrobe Theatre on the festival's opening night.
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you got involved with Ferment
We're Harry and Alice aka House of Blakewell – we're a duo that make alternative musical theatre with a strong comedy-cabaret flavour. Harry is from Salisbury and Alice trained in Bristol, but strangely we never performed in the South West until now, so we were really excited to be included in the Ferment Fortnight programme. It's such a great opportunity for us to share our work with an audience while we're still in the process of making it.
How would you describe your latest show in the Ferment Fortnight?
It's loosely based on the Norse gods Thor and Loki, as described in the Eddas (collections of myths written by Icelandic poets in the Middle Ages.) It's about the two characters and their attempts to prevent the day of Ragnarok – the end of the world – but really it's about destiny, choice, friendship and embracing change, in order to create a better world. With tap dancing Vikings.
What do you expect audiences will take away from your piece?
Hopefully they'll leave with a smile on their face, humming the tunes!
What's been the biggest challenge/most exciting moment so far?
We normally work as a duo, but in this show we have a cast of five. It was initially slightly intimidating allowing other people into our creative process, but the first time we had the full company in a kick line singing in four-part harmony was amazingly joyous!
What are you looking forward to most this Fortnight?
We're really thrilled to be performing at the Wardrobe Theatre – it's a space we've wanted to visit for ages. The programme also looks amazing – performing straight after us is Annie Siddons with her show Dennis of Penge, which we're really looking forward to.
Ferment Fortnight takes place at The Wardrobe Theatre 26-28 Jan before returning to Bristol Old Vic 31 Jan-2 Feb. For more info and to book tickets, click here.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with the chief operating officer for equity capital markets for a premier global financial services provider. The COO, who has interviewed countless people throughout her career from interns and recent graduates to more experienced applicants, is a personal friend and colleague. I've know her for many years, and we've never had a conversation that I've not found very educational.
This time, I asked my friend what are three of the most important questions she asks recent graduates during their interviews, and what kind of response is she anticipating for each one. I'm excited to share her refreshing and honest responses.
Question 1: What was your most difficult class? Why?
This seems like a fairly simple question, but that doesn't mean the interviewer won't learn something from your response. Not only does it reveal why you found the class difficult, but also how you handled the challenge. This provides insight into how you will respond to challenging situations that you confront professionally.
She gave an example. If you couldn't understand a certain professor, and that professor wasn't lecturing from a textbook, what would you do to solve this problem? One solution might be to form a study group, another would be to talk to a TA, and yet another would be to solicit help from students from another section of the class. The key is that it's important for you to find a solution to the problem.
Question 2: What was one of your most enjoyable experiences? Why?
What is the interviewer trying to learn from this question? It's an opportunity to learn about things you like and why. The interviewer wants to hear you talk about yourself, and will be paying careful attention to how you express your enthusiasm and passion for the things you enjoy.
Questions 3: Tell me in depth about one particular item on your resume.
In this question, you've been given the opportunity to speak. You can pick a course, an interest, a job, an internship, or anything that you have done where you can paint an in-depth picture of the experience and how it's helped you grow.
After we discussed these three questions, our conversation veered in a slightly different direction. We moved on to the question of what you should say when the interviewer asks if you have any questions.
Here are a few tips we came up with:
- It is totally appropriate to ask many of the same questions to each person you interview with, because you may get different responses from each individual.
- Ask each interviewer some personal questions, which show an interest in their professional development and skills. For example, "How did you get this position?" or "What do you like most about your job?"
- Never say that you don't have any questions, or all of your questions have been answered. That puts an abrupt end to the meeting, and likely the probability of an offer.
And one final thought emerged. A lot of young job seekers think they have to know what they want to do now. Don't let that influence your approach. Your job is not to pick a career, but to pursue every opportunity presented to you and try to generate offers. That way, you are guaranteed to have choices.

I just thought my post added up to a good story
........hey! Wot do you expect at this time of the morning? Wit?
Nothing like Trump Zoomer or his hairstyle.
My point is simple.....if someone took the trouble to start a thread that thread should continue with the author's name. for example, the "worries" thread was started by KEF. it is now credited to NORA. to suggest it is a software issue is Incorrect.
if you are happy with this folks then fine.
Agree lily. good idea
in fact I think we should visit the rescue centres more often too instead of going for puppies.
Valentine's day massacre
Parsley is deemed difficult to germinate.
However I rarely have a problem. I sow seed in a pot, lightly cover with compost. pour boiling water into a dish and stand the pot in it. Cover with seed packet and stand in kitchen until germination. for me this is pretty quick. A week to 10 days. A week or so later I move to unheated gh. Prick out later into trays. Then into 9 cm pots. Then out in the garden.
I think it is a tad early right now though.....prefer to wait another fortnight or so
why successional sowing though? I find plants provide all summer
Birds perhaps if you suspect a pest or mice?
Dannyson, doing well for me. Not far from cornish coast too, prob further west?
It has been a freakishly wet autumn and winter. There will be casualties. Time will tell.
perhaps they are simply later this year for you........
bulbs are notoriously difficult to grow......in the green is the only way I think.
Edd, sure my dog appeared in a summer picture. ,golden lab now more than 12 and will be devastated when the old fella goes.
hey! Sounds like a difficult condition you have currently. How long before you win through?
Zoomer even the dwarfest rootstock for plums is still quite vigorous however now is as good a time as any.
Obviously get as much rootball as poss intact.,,
Halo for me Tetley.......I sooooo deserve it

So, today was Will's first swim lesson. Technically, the kids are supposed to be 4 to start lessons. Will doesn't turn 4 until August 8, but there are no more lessons offered after then. The instructor made an exception for Will so that he wouldn't have to wait until next summer to start. He was so cute!! He has been excited about these swim lessons since I signed him up a few weeks ago. The lessons are at my and my husband's old high school, Scott High. He thought he was super cool going to Mommy and Daddy's high school. Today was really just an assessment to see where he was. If you had asked me last night, I could have pretty accurately predicted how today would go. Will has always been strong and athletic. I knew that he would have no trouble with the swimming part. Will's issue is more about focus. Tyler was the young man's name who took Will into the water to see how he'll do. Will was great! He got right into the water with Tyler, put his face in and blew bubbles, he even went under water quickly with him. Mommy was so proud!! Then Tyler showed Will how to kick his feet and stroke his arms. He supported Will while he crossed the pool a few times "freestyle." The entire time, Will's head was straight up and his mouth was going a mile a minute. "What is that? What does it do? My Daddy went to school here. Do you go to school here? Why do you go to school here? What is that sound?..." You get the idea. If we can get Will to actually focus on the lesson, he could learn a lot and be a decent swimmer at the end of the 2 week session. I'm not banking on it, but I think he's going to have a lot of fun!
Tyler helped Will get used to the water
Tyler shows him freestyle
And off they went!

- Zero friction fluid is a substance in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation One/Beast Era continuity family.
Zero friction fluid is, as its name suggests, a very slippery substance. It can be used as part of a defense grid, coating a floor so that an intruder would be unable to stand, although according to Rattrap this is "strictly for amateurs."
Beast Wars cartoon
Zero friction fluid was one of the many counter-measures employed by Sentinel when the Maximal defense grid had mistaken Rattrap for an intruder within the base. Rattrap was able to overcome it by using a panel to "surf" the fluid and then leap over an energy net that attempted to ensnare him, landing on a section of floor that was clear. A Better Mousetrap

GRIP is happy to present an unique course addressing a never-before-presented topic. Rev. Dr. David McDonald, CG, a minister and board-certified genealogist, is offering a course on church records and how they can solve certain genealogical brick walls. We must understand our ancestors' religion in order to find the records or why the denomination may not have kept certain records. This course will also help you to find your ancestors' religious affiliation through clues they left behind in their habits and attitudes. You will learn of the religious reasons why your ancestors may have migrated if their religion was not a popular one.
Dave McDonald says, "The nature of Christian communities and churches through the centuries suggests that there is overlap in theological perspectives and outlook, with important similarities across denominational boundaries, and yet some very distinct differences within particular sects or traditions. Accordingly, traditions will be considered on a stand-alone basis and also in comparison with and in contrast to other bodies."
With America's melting pot, you may have ancestors from many different religious traditions. Come learn how they interacted. A detailed list of the eighteen sessions is available under Courses. This course is offered June 28-July 3, 2015.

In Super Bowl XLVII, the Baltimore Ravens collide with the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at 6:30ET. NFL odds are available at Bovada sportsbook.
Bet the Ravens Now and Claim your Free $1000 Bonus From Oddsmaker Sports-Book: CLICK HERE
The Baltimore Ravens come into the Super Bowl the hard way, having won three games this postseason, as well as having to deal with heartbreak over the past five seasons. For the year, they are 13-6 SU and 9-9-1 ATS. They come into the game relatively healthy, and other then two special team touchdowns giving up in Denver, their defense has looked superb in the playoffs. Their offense is averaging 30 points in these playoffs as well. Their game plan will be to generate disruption up front, while playing a matchup zone, which should keep the read option in check. On offense, they will use their running game to set up their deep shots down the field.
San Francisco had to overcome a 17-0 deficit in the NFC Championship game to earn their spot in the big game. For the year, they are 13-4-1 SU and 11-7 ATS. During the season, their defense has gotten much of the press, however, it is has been their offense that has lead the way in this playoffs. San Francisco will again employ the read option, but the question is who will be the focal point. In the Green Bay game, it was the Kaepernick. Against the Falcons, it was Frank Gore. On the defensive side, they should have some question marks. They have had no pass rush since Justin Smith got hurt, and they have given up 27.5 points per game in the playoffs.
CLICK HERE to Make Your Free $100 Bet on the Super Bowl at Bovada Sports-Book!
San Francisco is a 4 point favorite. The Niners' bag of tricks on offense is empty. Baltimore will figure out how to stop this offense. Take the Ravens +4 but first check out online sportsbook reviews.

[[caption-width-right:350:These kids have some funky fresh moves. Left to right: Skate Lad, Captain Crandall and Rope Girl.]]
''Teamo Supremo'' (2002-2004) was a Creator/{{Disney}} cartoon originally aired as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning right before its transition into ABC Kids, and was just as quickly shown in reruns on Creator/ToonDisney (and for a short while, the regular Creator/DisneyChannel) when the channel was still showing Disney cartoons on a regular basis. It is a rather simple show about three ordinary schoolchildren named Crandall, Hector and Brenda (right), who take on the secret identities of the eponymous [[TheyFightCrime crime-fighting]] trio to battle evildoers. As superheroes, they call themselves Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl, respectively.
Perhaps because of the simplicity of that, the show was never one of Disney's popular franchises mostly due to coming at a time during ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' popularity (some detractors even claiming it copied from it though the show had plenty of differences outside the three kid superheroes format) and only had 39 episodes (albeit each one following a TwoShorts format). What the viewers missed out on, though, was a short StoryArc in the third season regarding Crandall's superpowers (he thinks he is an alien) that was [[CutShort left unresolved]] as a result of the series' cancellation.
!!This show contains examples of:
* ActionDressRip: Tiffany Javelin's manager exploits this by tearing up Tiffany's favorite clothes ''while she's wearing them'' to make her look cooler.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The Aesop of the Stylist episode. After Crandall's mom talks about how styles change, providing a photo of when she was young, Teamo is able to look at their bad haircuts and laugh at them. This gives them the strength to face the Sylist and her taunts for giving everyone a TraumaticHaircut.
%%* AdamWesting: Gary Owens as the Dark Talon (Crandall's paternal grandpa).
* AdultFear:
** The governor reacts this way when the only hero auditionees are three elementary school kids. He obviously doesn't want the liability until he sees they are a BadassAdorable team.
** Crandall in one episode realizes that his mother has been replaced by a robot. He immediately realizes his sister Jean is in danger and goes to warn her . . . only to find she's a robot as well.
* BavarianFireDrill: The Birthday Bandit in his first episode appears as a clown at a party. He then ties up the birthday boy and his parents on the pretext of doing a trick, and has his minions steal the presents.
%%* BeachEpisode: "Sun, Surf, Sand...and Skull?"
* BerserkButton:
** Crandall when the Out of This World Cafe and Museum of the Unknown gets destroyed in "Science Friction!"
** Do not destroy any sector if Paulson is in the vicinity. Compared to that, he doesn't show any anger when Skate Lad confesses to breaking his specialized board.
** Skate Lad will burst out in ranting Spanish if you belittle Mexican culture.
%%* BigEater: Brenda.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Tiffany Javelins, an {{Expy}} of Music/BritneySpears, who is ordered by her manager to act as a bad girl and have thousands of her fans follow in her footsteps, to sell records. The writers seemed to dive into low blows, given that Britney as an adult struggled with many problems.
* BrokenPedestal:
** Most of Tiffany's fans when Paulson creates an EngineeredPublicConfession that reveals Tiffany is just letting her manager boss her around and tell her what to think.
** Crandall thinks much less of Dr. Droid after the latter replaces everyone in the city with robot duplicates, including his mother and sister.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Crandall's "Rope me, Brenda!" since the kids turn into their superhero forms by jumping together with Brenda's jump rope.
* CallBack:
** At the beginning of the series Paulson updated the kids' weapons from simple toys so that they could handle tougher villains like Technor. When his janitor goes on a mad spree with gloves that affect objects with metal, Paulson downgrades the weapons into wood, plastic and rope so that they can defeat The Gauntlet.
** Tiffany Javelins in her first appearance made Brenda forget her hero duties. In her next appearance, where [[spoiler:Dr. Droid and the manager have replaced her with a robot]], Brenda again gets lured towards stardom.
* CanadaEh: One episode features crooked hockey players causing chaos at the World's Fair, attempting to hijack a bus to Saskatoon. Another episode features clothing store robberies being committed by a French Canadian robber named the Trapster.
* CartesianKarma: Despite being under her manager's influence and contractual thumb, Tiffany in her first appearance gets arrested for the crimes she committed. [[spoiler:By her second episode, she's wised up to not get involved in any more criminal behavior, leading to her manager locking her up]].
* {{Catch Phrase}}s: In addition to the main trio's battle cries...
** Rope Girl's "Neither did I, but I guess I do!" whenever she displays a new skill and someone else says "I didn't know you could do that".
** Governor Kevin answers the phone with "Y'ello, you got your guv."
** Whenever the Chief arrests the villain of the episode and tells them what's going to happen to them, he always ends with "...IN JAIL!!"
** Jean's "I have to know this stuff if I'm going to be a [insert occupation here] someday."
** Mrs. Woolingantz excuses the trio from class with "Crandall, Brenda, and Hector, the governor needs you in his office; you are excused."
%%* CampStraight: The Governor
%%* CaptainSuperhero
* ChekhovsGun:
** In the Cinco de Mayo episode, Hector reveals that despite Le Poodle disarming Teamo that he still has his skateboard screwdriver. He uses it to undo the bolts of their cage.
** Brenda while [[spoiler:rehearsing with "Tiffany" for a song realizes that singing high notes shorts the latter out; it takes her much longer to realize that Tiffany is a robot. Rope Girl then exploits this to defeat the army of Tiffany bots at the end]].
%%* ChristmasEpisode: "Happy Holidays, Mr. Gruff"
* ClarkKenting: Crandall's mom seemingly can't tell why she never sees her son and "that kid from Teamo Supremo" in the same place; however, [[spoiler:in the last episode, we find out that she's been aware of it the whole time.]]
* {{Cephalothorax}}: Technor without his HumongousMecha.
* ClearMyName: In Cheapskate's episode, when Skate Lad is accused of stealing people's possessions, he's not allowed to do any more superhero stuff until the team can find out who the real culprit is.
* CompressedVice:
** Brenda's slovenliness.
** All the girls in the city whenever Tiffany Javelins is doing a public appearance immediately follow her lead, even Paulson's coworker Samantha and the Chief's daughter.
* ContinuityNod:
** Teamo's second episode involved HowDoIShotWeb with their upgraded weapons. When Le Poodle steals them in the Cinco de Mayo, he can't get Rope Girl's jumprope to work.
** While up in the attic in one episode, Crandall finds what appears to be an old costume of his with a "C" emblem on it. A few episodes later, we see that "C" emblem again on a microchip of the Cloaked Skull's mask, with Crandall remarking that it looks familiar to him somehow.
* CoolBigSis: Jean to Crandall. She often provides useful information and advice to the team for their situations, serves as a SecretKeeper, and has huge career plans.
%%* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Will 2 Wynn
* CrowdChant: The episode "The Big Put Down" has a villain called the Put Down Artist insulting everyone. They end up destroying his morale by chanting "Poco loco en el coco" at him (see GratuitousSpanish below for an explanation).
* CurbStompBattle: Technor in his first appearance defeats Teamo without breaking a sweat because they're still using an ordinary yo-yo, jumprope, and skateboard. Governor Kevin and Paulson anticipate this, so they immediately upgrade the team's weapons.
%%* DaChief
* DisappearedDad: Averted; the kids' respective fathers make a brief appearance in "Grounded!"
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: The last episode has the villain throwing a statue on Teamo and seemingly crushing them, but [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crandall's super-strength suddenly appears and he lifts the statue up]].]]
* DoNotCallMePaul: "Big Skull" does not like being addressed by that name.
* {{Eagleland}}: Flavor 1 definitely forms a part of the show's theme -- highlighted when the show featured a villain based on the RedScare.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: An early episode has a different girl who gives Mrs. Woolingantz a note to excuse Teamo.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: Y'know those alleged superpowers Crandall claims to have? They manifest in the final episode (well, SuperStrength at least) to save him from being crushed to death]].
%%* ElSpanishO: The series title is a mild case of this.
%%* EngineeredPublicConfession
%%* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop
* EvilDiva: Tiffany Javelins, the Sinister Songstress, in her first appearance. [[spoiler:Later on, due to her manager and Dr. Droid locking her up, she undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and helps Teamo.]]
%%* EvilMinions: Most of the villains have them.
* EvilTwin: Dr. 'Droid makes robot copies of everyone, including Teamo and even himself.
** Skate Lad seems to have his own [[Franchise/TheFlash Reverse-Flash]] in the evil, super-speedy roller skater Cheapskate.
** There's also the evil, scooter-riding rival of Skate Lad, Scooter Lad.
* {{Expy}}: The Governor ''may'' be a UsefulNotes/BillClinton expy, if TheNineties trend of having them in childrens' cartoons is anything to go by. (cf. ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''.)
%%* EyesAlwaysShut: Mrs. Woolingantz
%%* GentlemanThief: Le Poodle
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The fact that in Tiffany Javelins's episode her manager is starting a campaign to encourage Tiffany's fans to BareYourMidriff and pierce their belly buttons, as well as skip school and steal chocolate milk. Also note that a good portion of her fans are preteens, including Brenda, though the Chief's daughter and Paulsen's work partner also get swept away.
** In the banned Valentine's Day episode, the [[strike:Birthday]] Valentine Bandit kidnaps Governor Kevin's girlfriend; he responds to this development by saying "That fiend stole my heart!" ([[HoYay Taking this line in the wrong context]] might be the reason the episode was banned.)
* GratuitousSpanish:
** Skate Lad breaks out in Spanish whenever he's angry, like when Le Poodle steals artifacts from a Mexican museum on Cinco de Mayo.
** In "The Big Put Down", Skate Lad refers to the Put Down Artist as "poco loco en el coco" (which, as Brenda explains, means "a little crazy in the coconut"). It ends up being helpful later on. The {{Catch Phrase}}s of the respective team members also bring Spanish to mind, though they're gibberish for the most part.
* HeelFaceTurn: Tiffany Javelins, alias the Songstress, helps Teamo after her first appearance. [[spoiler:It helps that her manager and Dr. Droid locked her up when they made a bunch of robots based on her and decided YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness.]]
* HalloweenEpisode: "The Haunted House on Horror Hill".
* HookHand: Laser Pirate has one that doubles as a laser blade.
* HowDoIShotWeb: When Teamo's weapons get upgraded from simple toys to serious gadgets, they have a tough time adjusting to them in the fight with Technor. They have to take the time to practice with them while Technor steals power from everywhere.
* HumanAlien: Crandall thinks he's one. [[spoiler:And if his sudden manifestation of super strength in the last episode is any indication, he may be right.]]
* HypnoticEyes: Hypnotheria's power.
** Used on the Teamo and others in "Appetite for... Dessert", where the Teamo is hypnotized into wanting to eat junk food.
** Used on the Chief in "The Chief of Cheer"; Hypnotheria tells him to "destroy" Governor Kevin.
%%* IncredibleShrinkingMan: The plot of "Micro Supremo".
* IntrepidReporter: Ollie Jimson, a ComicBook/JimmyOlsen {{Expy}}.
* KickTheDog:
** The Put Down Artist exists to make everyone else feel bad. Teamo explicitly mentions that they can't BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame because they don't know how to stoop to that level. Eventually their retorts are more general like "poco loco en el coco" and reciting jokes that Mauricio wrote for them.
** Mauricio went too far by mocking Coco Caliente for her bad haircut on live television, when it wasn't her fault. In revenge she becomes The Stylist and vows to give ''everyone,'' including him, a TraumaticHaircut.
%%* KidHero
%%* LargeHam: Crandall
* LaserBlade: Laser Pirate's laser hook
* LegacyCharacter: Crandall's grandfathers were both superheroes. Specifically, expies of Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. [[spoiler:Their advice doesn't help Crandall or Teamo when fighting his grandparents' old nemeses, but the two make a surprise appearance to corner the ringleader.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: Parodied when Skate Lad corners the [=CheapSkate=]. ("No you're not; my dad works down at the sporting goods store. I look just like him, loser!")
%%* MadArtist: The Animating Anarchist.
%%* MadScientist
* MassOhCrap: The heroes that would have auditioned to protect the city in the pilot run out of the governor's mansion screaming when Crandall screams "Baron Blitz is here and he's got a giant robot!"
%%* MasterOfIllusion
* MayDecemberRomance: In the last episode, Paulson has something he wants to admit to Samantha, but he gets cut off. And keep in mind, he's already got grey hair while Samantha looks below 40.
* MeaningfulName: It may not be a good idea to insult someone whose last name is "Caliente," the Spanish word for "[[HotBlooded hot]]". Coco Caliente takes offense when Mauricio makes fun of her bad haircut on live television.
* {{Meganekko}}: Crandall's mom, Mrs. Woolingantz, and the blonde girl who whispers to Mrs. Woolingantz to excuse Teamo.
* MisplacedRetribution: Mauricio was the only one who insulted Coco Caliente for her bad haircut, while the audience laughed. So obviously she must take revenge on the entire city and give them one TraumaticHaircut after another.
* MonsterClown: The Birthday Bandit, whose modus operandi is sabotaging birthday parties and throwing some sinister parties of his own. In one episode, he becomes the Valentine Bandit and sets out to ruin Valentine's Day. He's even voiced by [[Creator/MarkHamill someone]] known for a [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries certain other]] [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker evil clown]].
* MotorMouth: Dehydro. At times, his lines sound like they were written by [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo]].

** Tiffany Javelins is an {{Expy}} of Britney Spears.
** Mr. Gruff in the ChristmasEpisode is a white version of Mr. T.

* OhCrap:
** Brenda and Hector at first when Crandall tells them they're auditioning as heroes in front of the governor.

** One astronomer when Mirror Star steals the lenses from his telescopes.
* PatrioticFervor: Skate Lad. Coming from a Mexican-American boy, strangely enough.
* {{Pirate}}: Laser Pirate, who ironically hates water.
%%* APirate400YearsTooLate: Laser Pirate.
%%* PowerTrio
%%* PrimAndProperBun: Mrs. Woolingantz.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Governor at first is understandably nervous about three kids deciding to stop Baron von Blitz. When he sees them in action, however, and especially after they capture the Baron in the pilot, he makes them deputized heroes. He also prepares for when their ordinary belt, rope and skateboard will fail in battle and gives them upgrades courtesy of Paulson.
* RoyalWe: Hypnotheria wants to become queen, and always refers to herself as "we". She mentions this trope by name in her debut episode, "Appetite For... Dessert!"
-->'''Rope Girl:''' We sleep right, train hard, and always make healthy food choices!\\
'''Hypnotheria:''' Healthy food choices, eh? Well, we'll see if we can't fix that!\\
'''Skate Lad:''' Who's "we"?\\
'''Hypnotheria:''' ''We'' are, you pathetic peasant! I'm using the royal "we".
* RunningGag: Jean always wants a different career each episode.
%%* ScaryLibrarian: Libro Shushman
* ScoobyDooHoax: In fact, the episode itself was a ''ScoobyDoo'' parody entirely!
* SecretKeeper:
** Governor Kevin knows who all the kids are, and in fact usually calls them from their class. In the first and second episode he called their home line, before they got upgraded to phone watches.
** Jean and Mrs. Woolingantz (since "The Sinister Substitute"). Not only does [[spoiler:Crandall's mom know their secret, but she also seems to be hiding something about Crandall]].
%%* ShapeShifting: Madam Snake
* ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Discussed and lampshaded by the Chief in the pilot. Later on, Governor Kevin calls the kids' school so they can be excused from class.
* ShoutOut: While under mind control in one episode, the Chief exits with a [[Series/ThePrisoner "B"-gesture by his nose and says "Be seeing you!"]]
** While trying to look for help from Captain Excellent's hideout, one of the devices they find is [[Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife a machine that goes "PING!"]]
** Skate Lad's costume resembles that of UsefulNotes/EvelKnievel.
** An episode features Mr. Beryllium, the editor of the ''Stately Planet'' newspaper, and his cub reporter [[Comicbook/JimmyOlsen Ollie Jimson]]. Mr. Beryllium keeps telling Ollie to "call him chief."
** One of the Birthday Bandit's henchmen is a woman in a [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn harlequin]] costume.
** The villainous Inflato resembles Jackie Gleason, and even uses several of Gleason's comedic mannerisms ("hard-de-har-har!," "one of these days..."). His henchmen are parodies of Creator/DeanMartin, Creator/JerryLewis, and Sammy Davis, Jr.
%%* SkyPirate: Laser Pirate
* SomethingPerson: Skate Lad (Hector) and Rope Girl (Brenda)
* SpeechImpediment: Captain Crandall has a slight lisp.
%%* {{Sssssnaketalk}} (Madam Snake)
* SternTeacher: Mrs. Woolingantz always excuses Teamo from class, but does not like it when their homework is left unfinished.
* StockFootage: Teamo's transformation sequence is always the same (except in the wintertime episodes when they're dressed appropriately). Also, a sequence of Teamo traveling past a crowd of surprised citizens is often recycled throughout the show's run.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Baron Blitz aims to do this in his last appearance ([[Film/StreetFighter OF]] [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses COURSE!!]]).
* TeamPet: Crandall's dog, Action. In the pilot it's revealed that Crandall has turned his doghouse into a secret hideout.
%%* TeamSpirit
%%* TheCape
* {{Thememobile}}: In the first episode, Paulson is about to unveil a car that Teamo could supposedly use. But since Teamo's members are too young to drive, this becomes a subversion.
%%* TheyFightCrime
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman:
** The Chief during a GreenEyedMonster phase learns that Teamo can do many things, but they can't control traffic. This is something he can do, however, with pleasure.
** Also, the Chief has to coach Teamo when Baron von Blitz possess bronze statues from the Football Hall of Fame and Teamo's usual techniques don't work well on the field.
%%* ThoseTwoBadGuys
%%* ThreeAmigos: The eponymous trio.
* TimeTravel: Lord Druid plans to go back in time, stop the nation from becoming a democracy, and establish himself as the monarch.
* TotallyRadical: Governor Kevin lived this trope, but it was probably intentional and [[TropesAreNotBad he managed to come across as a pretty cool guy despite (and perhaps even thanks to) it]].
* TraumaticHaircut: The Stylist delivers this to anyone who encounters her, including Teamo, thanks to a haircutting robot. She reveals her evil plan is to publicly humiliate her victims by putting them on live TV for the world to see. Eventually Skate Lad defeats it by trapping it under a hair dryer.
%%* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld
* WalkOnTheWildSideEpisode: Brenda twice, in both of the episodes with Tiffany Javelins. By emulating Tiffany, who is ordered by her manager to be a "bad girl," Brenda skips school, pierces her belly button, steals chocolate milk, and uses her rope against Hector and Crandall. In the second episode [[spoiler:she signs a contract to become a star like Tiffany, only to go back on it.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether:
** Laser Pirate offers to make Crandall his first mate, which he of course declines ("Why would I want to be a first mate when I'm already a captain!")
** Rope Girl gets suckered into entering a music contract with Tiffany Javelins in the latter's episode because the manager plays on her wanting to be a Star. [[spoiler:Brenda rips up her contract when she learns that the Tiffany she performed with was a robot and she abandoned her friends when they needed her help.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In his first appearance Dr. Droid wants to make the world a better place by replacing "imperfect, unpredictable" humans with robot duplicates. Unfortunately, because ''he'' is an imperfect human, the robots turn on him to make the world better. Before their knockout gas affects him, he manages to tell Captain Crandall how to wake everyone up from their drugged sleep.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The state's name is never mentioned.
* WhipItGood: Rope Girl uses her jump rope like a whip, as well as a lasso.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: One episode established that Brenda is deeply afraid of water, to the point of being afraid to take a bath (she says she takes sponge baths instead). She manages to overcome this fear by the end of the episode.
* WouldHurtAChild: Madam Snake definitely would, as shown when her henchmen sprain Skate Lad's leg and give Rope Girl a lot of splinters in one episode.
* WouldntHurtAChild: For what little it's worth, most of the villains in the show fall under this. Le Poodle incapacites them in the Cinco de Mayo episode, for example, but just locks them up to be sent away and confiscates their weapons.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Brenda's hair is purple.
%%* YouthfulFreckles: Crandall
* ZergRush: Le Poodle's henchmen overwhelm Teamo Supremo in this fashion during the Cinco de Mayo episode. They surround Rope Girl so she can't catch them all, get into tug-of-war over Skate Lad's board, and pickpocket Captain Crandall's utility belt.

Jell vs. gel. Go!
At work the other night, I came across a word that always vexes me, and which seems to come up frequently in sports stories. I forget exactly what the sentence was, but it was something like "Because of the players' inexperience, the team has yet to jell." I can never, ever, remember if it is supposed to be jell or gel when you are trying to say that something (like a team) has come together nicely. I was on deadline and didn't have time to look it up, so I did the next best thing, I asked. The guy who sits next to me (and who has been copy editing since before I was born) told me confidently that it is jell.
So I left it alone and moved on. But I wanted to check up on my own why jell was the way to go.
So today, I looked through four style guides -- the New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, Bryan Garner's Modern American Usage, Bill Walsh's Lapsing Into a Comma and Bill Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words -- all reliable sources when I have usage questions.
Zero, zip, nada, naught. None of those books had a peep about jell and gel.
So I tried the dictionary. Or dictionaries, rather.
Merriam-Webster Online:
- jell: Date 1869. intransitive verb. 1. to come to the consistency of jelly; congeal , set 2. to take shape and achieve distinctness; become cohesive. transitive verb. to cause to jell
- gel: Date 1917. intransitive verb. 1. to change into or take on the form of a gel; set 2. JELL 2 (meaning, go look at the second definition of jell).
Oxford English Dictionary:
- jell: Date 1830-1840. 1. intransitive verb. To become a jelly; to congeal or jelly. Also figuratively, to take definite or satisfactory shape; = CRYSTALLIZE. Compare to GEL 2. transitive verb. JELLIFY; Also figuratively, to give shape to; to make clear and definite. Hence participle jelled.
- gel: Date 1917. intransitive verb. To become a gel; figuratively, JELL. Hence participle gelled.
Webster's New World:
- jell: No date. intransitive, transitive verb. 1. a) to become or cause to become jelly. b) to become or cause to become somewhat firm, as gelatin does; set. 2. [Informal] to take or cause to take definite form; crystallize. [plans that haven't jelled yet]
- gel: No date. intransitive verb. 1. to form a gel; jellify. 2. [British] JELL 2.
All the sources agree that jell is a back-formation of jelly, and the verb gel comes from the noun gel.
So, what did I learn?
That they both mean the same thing. The definitions even refer to each other. Which is why we have style guides, to tell us what to use so we don't have to agonize over it. Or to ignore if we don't like the reasoning.
The closest thing to guidance that I got was in Webster's New World, which tells us that gel is a British usage when used to mean the same thing as jell. And jell seems to be the older word. So I guess jell is the one to use (in the U.S., anyway), even though it really doesn't seem to matter at all. Most people would understand either in that context.

I think Okmalumkoolkat's "siyasebenza" mantra applies wholly to The Game. He just announced that his new 12 track album 1992 is set to drop on the 7th of October 2016. Dude just came from two full length albums, an 11 track album and a 10 song soundtrack for his video game Block Wars. His work ethic is one to look up to.
Here's the tracklist which has no features, including Game's current single "All Eyez" featuring Jeremih.
- "Savage"
- "Fire"
- "True Colors"
- "Bompton"
- "Juice"
- "The Chronic"
- "Grew Up On Wu-Tang"
- "However You Want It"
- "Bipolar"
- "Young N*as"
- "Die Young"

You might love or hate the event you are attending but if you are someone who is looking at making a good impression then you will have to work hard to achieve it. You might even plan what you want to wear several months before. Here are some tips on picking an event dress for your body shape:
You must focus on looking for the items as soon as you possibly can. Do look for items even at local magazines as well as international malls. If you start several months before hand then you can alter the dress for the event too. Make sure that you do book an appointment with a stylist if you are concerned about what you must buy.
You must focus on highlighting any curves you have. You might not have ample assets but you can create an illusion that you do. If you have a small waist you can wear something which will emphasis the waist shape. Some dress shapes might make you look larger than you are. You will also have to find the correct pair of heels which will emphasis your legs and butt region.
You must create a flexible budget so that you add items you do want. It is best if you can start as early as you possibly can. This way you can avoid any serious disappointments. If you do have parents who will help you invest in a good quality dress then you must ask them for an allowance early on. Sometimes the total cost can be several millions. Do look for inspiration on YouTube as well as other blogs. If you are curvy female then look to purchase dress on the internet but do make sure that you are purchasing them from a reputable site in the area.
You must purchase a necklace which is classy and which will last the test of time. Some necklaces might look too big on you. You will have to try different sets and make sure that they do complement your dress. Ask a jeweler for more advice on what you must wear to the event. He or she will even be able to help you pair the correct gemstones to make your dress come to life. If you do have the cash to splurge look for a diamond chain and a dainty pair of earrings which will make you look like a princess at the ball.

©Jane A. Simington, PHD
Strong summer winds bathed me this morning in aromas of rose petals, honeysuckle, sage and wild prairie grasses. These sensations caused me to be aware of the direction from which the winds were blowing. While most of the Great Medicine Wheels place the element air in the East, the winds blow from each of the four directions. Years ago I learned a guided visualization that taught me to pay attention to the directions from which the winds blew; for each of the directions has its own gifts; and when the winds blow from any one of the directions, they blow to us the gifts from that particular direction. In that way, the winds can validate our own inner knowing and call for us to be open to receive in gratefulness the gifts being blown our way.
Here is a version of that meditation. I trust it will increase your awareness of the gifts to be found in each of the directions and, thus add to your abilities to receive the blessings of the winds that blow those gifts towards you.
Begin by paying close attention to your breathing…in and out…in and out…in and out.
Exhale deeply and allow your eyes to gently fall closed. Now inhale deeply and as you do so, find yourself standing on the top of a very high hill. Take a moment to be aware of your surroundings. As you do so, become aware of being completely wrapped in a warm gentle wind. Know that this wind is blowing from the East for it brings with it the fragrances of spring. Breathe deeply of the spring winds and welcome the newness being ushered into your life by the Winds of the East.
You sense that the winds have now shifted and they are becoming warmer. The smells have also changed from the smells of spring to those of the ripening fruits of summer. Hints of melons, cherries and crabapples drift your way, carried on by these winds, the winds of summer, the winds from the South. Acknowledge that these winds are validating your fruitfulness, your productivity. They have come to remind you that with fruitfulness comes abundance. Breathe deeply and welcome into your entire being the abundances the South Winds are blowing your way.
Pay attention to a further shift in the winds and to the dimming light. Dusk is now upon you. Cooler winds wrap you in the brilliance of autumn colors. You capture whiffs of harvested grains, fresh wines and pumpkin pies being carried on by the winds from the West. On the Great Medicine Wheels, the West is honored as the place of healing and the place of the healer. What healing are the West Winds blowing your way? Are the West Winds asking you to accept your healing gifts and to accept your role as healer? The West is also the place of abundant harvest. Are the West Winds reminding you that this is your time to successfully harvest the good seeds you have planted?
One more time you feel a shift in the direction from which the winds blow. As you face these cold winds you wrap yourself in a blanket of white. The Great Medicine Wheels teach that the North holds gifts of ancient wisdom and makes the teachings of the ancestors available to spiritual teachers and leaders. As the North winds blow these gifts your way, are you being reminded that it is time to pay attention to these teachings and to acknowledge and accept your roles as a spiritual teacher, leader?
As you become aware of having completed the full circle, gently and easily open your eyes. Spend a few moments pondering from which direction the winds blew strongest on you. Then acknowledge the gifts you already have or that are now being blown to you from that direction and give thanks that it is so.
Each time I stand in the wind, I recalled this meditation and am also reminded of how in the Old Testament Yahweh was referred to as the wind. I love that symbol and because of it, I am filled with reverence of the wind from whatever direction it blows. I hope this meditation has helped in similar ways to increase your appreciation of the wind and may we each be more aware and grateful for the breath of Spirit blowing within and around us.

Christmas Place is in the midst of a great sale – buy 3 ornaments, get the fourth free (equal or lesser value, some restrictions apply, etc.)! You can mix and match between ornaments, and personalized ornaments are included.
Hop on over to the store site and take a look at all the ornaments that are included. (well, it's that close to Easter, isn't it??)

Happy Friday!
