I have been bullied a lot and I hate it. Bullies do not know what they do to their victims. I am pretty sensitive. Those who bully others should be punished in a way. This is a very good way to punish bullies. I hope this side wins this debate.
Bullies are really mean and rude. Why do they do that to kids? I hate bullies! Why are bullies so mean to other student? They make others fell wrong. Once I heard a story about a bullie that bullied a person for a year. The person that was bullied competed suside
Because they effect others education. They make people focus off the work and education there meant to be getting. Some one speaking to the bully isnt going to stop them from ddoing anything. Bully also make people want to not come to school, and makes school hell for people. If they were gone, school would be a lot pleasant for people, and people wouldn't have to worry or get angry and would have a good education. Plus theres loads more schools out there for bullies, even though they should just be home schooled, to prevent any one else from being bullied.
A bully could mentally damage someone for ever too.
A bully can cause harm to another student in which case is not fair for the victim to be forced to stay in such a hostile environment daily for being themselves. Why should a bullies stay in school if they are picking on other students instead focusing on their own education.
Bullies ruin so many kids lives and make it miserable for them to have to go to school. The bullies only get worse and worse as the years go by, so I think it's best to just get rid of them so kids don't have to worry about getting beaten up, or picked on.
Bullies cause emotional and physical problems. According to www.education.vic.gov.au/
Students who are bullied are more likely to:
-feel disconnected from school and not like school
-have lower academic outcomes, including lower attendance and completion rates
-lack quality friendships at school
-display high levels of emotion that indicate vulnerability and low levels of resilience
-be less well accepted by peers, avoid conflict and be socially withdrawn
-have low self-esteem
-have depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness and isolation
-have nightmares
-feel wary or suspicious of others
-have an increased risk of depression and substance abuse
in extreme cases, have a higher risk of suicide, however, the reasons why a person may be at risk of suicide are extremely complicated.
They also cause many things that can lead to adulthood
They are not fear. They don't care about anyone, but themselves. Today when I was in school the bully punched me just for not giving him my lunch nor homework. I always report to the teacher or principal, but they didn't do a single thing about it I think they were afraid
Sometimes i get bullied and it suck i just want people to be happy and nice to people. Its a horrible thing if you witness it. I hate it and just want someone to do something about it. So please try to get bullies kicked out of school thanks and bye
I think that yes bullies should be kicked out of school because they cause harm to other students. So they should be kicked out of school eve if the harm isn't physical. This would not only insure the safety of the rest of the student body but also the safety of the faculty.
Bullies should be kicked out of school for many reasons.First reason bullies should be kicked out school is because they make other kids feel miserable. Also they are very mean to other children. Another reason bullies should be kicked out of school is they boss kids around all the time.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King said this quote, and this quote can be applied to this situation. When I was younger I was bullied a lot, I always wanted pay back. However when the day I got my revenge, it was bitter sweet. I didn't fill in the void I had. I didn't make me feel any better. We cannot use methods of driving a bully out of school as a means of justice. Instead we should understand why did they become bullies. It is about teaching them to become better people that benefit society. Bullying is something serious, and yes, sometimes the unthinkable happens to the bullied. However if we kick a bully out of school we may ruins a kids life forever. The bully may have ruined someone else life, however this cycle of hatred won't do anyone good. Hatred is the thing that slowly eats away at your soul, it slowly turns you into the bully. Bullies do need to be dealt with severity, however we should allow then to slowly become the people we want them to be. However this all depends on how we respond to the issue
They need an education. All your really sound is giving up on that kid. Number 1 that kid probably doesn't know what they are doing. Also they may have issues at home and don't know how to deal with it. And last they may just have a problem and don't know how to express. You just have to pull that person aside and say hey is there something going on why are you messing with him or her. You have to be gentle a understanding so you can help but never give up there is always hope even for the worst bully there is. Bye
Rjkfhyueruuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu u uuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu u u u u uu u u u u uu u u uu u u u uuu u uu u u u uu u u u uu u u uu u uu u u u
I say they shouldn't be kicked out because they have a right to learn, but most bullies have a rough life at home and they should get punishment for bullying because it is wrong. Those bullies out there in the world instead of bringing hate and cruelty towards them that is only going to make the problem in the bullies lives worse making them bully you more. Try this give the bullies 21 days and show them kindness and love even if they don't like you it will give them sometime to think about what they were doing to an innocent person like you. You can be the one to change their lives around from being a bully to the nicest person you know because you helped them because you gave them the loving kindness and care that they don't get from their parents or teachers. You can be the one that changes their life. What comes around goes around think about this and send this to someone you know that is being bullied and encourage them not to retaliate against the bully. What did Jesus do when the pharisees hated him and wanted him killed, instead of him retaliating he showed loving kindness to the pharisees they didn't know what they were doing so we should do the same for the bullies out there that don't know what they are doing. So be the mature one and show them love, kindness, and forgiveness be the one to change their lives. Who knows they may be the nicest person you ever meet.
Everyone has a right to an education. Kids who are bullies often have a lot of problems, to deny them an education as well will just add to those problems.
They need a supportive and consistent environment. If you just chuck them out on the streets they will end up getting in trouble and becoming a burden on society.
What exactly are we teaching children by doing this? Absolutely nothing. Not many students attend school because they actually want to. I remember in my junior high years when bullies would be subject to some silly task as punishment, like scraping gum from beneath a desk or picking up scraps of paper and recycling. I think it would be better to actually teach the bully why it was wrong, then punish them with something reasonable. Kicking those bullies out only shuns them, ignores their own reasons for bullying (ex. Abuse at home), and creates a headache for the justice system when the bully grows up and gets into more serious things like assault and murder.
Every one deserves a chance to change, and by kicking bullies out and ignoring them takes that chance away! It's crule, and it's just as bad as bullying . What I'm trying to say is they need help, an we need to give them the help or nothing will change
When they get kicked out they can become depressed and they will start doing suicide. Also they will just find the kid at their neighboorhood so they would just get jumped and the victim won't get help. Finally, their I'd no way the victim can escape from the billy so you just made it a death trap,
If we take a bullies education away theres a chance they'll never have a normal feature like us, therefore a simple mistake that we made at least once has literally has ruined there lives which could end up to them becoming a abusive parent who doesn't care anything but hurting people.
Bullies have been known to be mean and tough. Bullies can be created, mostly because they've suffered emotionally in their past; whether it's jealousy or abuse, verbally, physically, or both. Bullies, then inflict their pain and grief onto another person. The persons' actions as a bully can affect their victim greatly. The victim would feel depressed, sad, vengeful, angry, confused. But, if you could have a chance to inflict the same actions on your bullies from the past, would you? Think about it; you have suffered emotionally inside and now you are going to inflict the pain and grief your bully inflicted you with in the past. You become nothing but another bully.
I understand that depression is hard to overcome whether it is caused by a bully or some tragic event in the past, there is always a way to overcome depression. You can either chose to let depression overwhelm, leaving you sad, lonely, isolating yourself from the world or try to get help from a close friend or parent. I know it isn't easy, but there is always a way to overcome it, just have to chose which path to take.

Step up!
Since time immemorial, dancers have depicted history, culture, traditions, stories and ideas through their expressions and body movements. Expressions like liberation, celebration, grief, anger, and solitude are brought to life through various dance forms.education Updated: Nov 03, 2011 17:14 IST
The lowdown
Since time immemorial, dancers have depicted history, culture, traditions, stories and ideas through their expressions and body movements. Expressions like liberation, celebration, grief, anger, and solitude are brought to life through various dance forms. Dancers are trained artistes who spend a lot of time mastering the art of dance. Major dance forms are classical, salsa, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, folk, bollywood, ballet and many more. Dancers can perform for docudramas, musicals, movies, TV advertisements, reality shows, fashion shows, and cultural shows
Clock Work
5am: Wake up. Perform yoga, stretching exercises
6.30am: Have breakfast
7.30am: Set out for studio
8.00am: Listen to the musical score for the new production, suggest improvements
9am: Do a rough notation of dance moves along with assistant choreographer
10am: Start dance workshop with troupe
1pm: Light lunch
2pm: Continue workshop
5pm: Meet corporate sponsors of production
6pm: Meet costume designer and set designer
8pm: Dinner
9pm: Study journals and online dance resources
The payoff
Remuneration is definitely lucrative and that is one reason why today there are many who want to take it up as a full-time job. A fresher can earn anywhere between Rs10,000 to Rs15,000 a month whereas an experienced dancer (who is assisting seasoned choreographers) can take home a sum ranging from Rs50,000 to Rs70,000 a month
Skills / TRAITS
. A flawless performer
. Good communication skills
. Should be able to inspire and motivate one's dancers
. Managing logistics
. Great people skills
. Visualisation skills
. Curious about new developments in dance
Getting there
Choreographers need to display excellent dance skills to gain credibility. So, intensive training from a credible choreographer or with a well-known dance troupe with several productions under its belt is necessary. After a decade of perfecting one's dancing skills (preferably across genres i.e. Indian classical dance forms, jazz, salsa, New Dance etc), one can go in for choreological studies, which allows one to document dance sequences. One should assist an established choreographer for five years to learn the wide variety of skills (conceptualisation, visualisation, setting sequences to music, training dancers, instructing them, directing a production, among others) which are required to put together a production. An innate aesthetic sense goes a long way, while passion for dance keeps one grounded and focused
Institutes and URLs
. Bachelor's programme in choreography - Natya Institute of Kathak and Choregraphy, Bangalore
. Ananda Shankar Centre of Performing Arts -
. Shiamak Davar's Institute for the Performing Arts
. New York Choreographic Institute
Pros and cons
. Need to maintain high levels of fitness
. An excellent form of expression
. Dealing with creative people
. Extensive travel with productions
. Funding may not come easy for independent productions
. You get to be part of many international events

Christmas party foods can be presented in so many ways. The important thing is that the spread be appealing to the eye and easily eaten. After all, folks in their holiday finery don't want spaghetti with red sauce dripping down their pristine Christmassy outfits, even if red is the color of the season.
And as you create a vision in your mind of which theme you want to adopt, remember to check out our unique Christmas party appetizers, desserts, and drinks for Christmas party recipes that will make your spread a dazzling success.
You know how restaurants sometimes have specialty stations like omelet stations and carving stations rather than one big buffet? For a nice change of pace, use this concept for presenting your Christmas party foods. A bonus is you get to decorate several small tables, and I for one can't get enough of Christmas decorations scattered everywhere.
Be sure to have appropriate utensils and dishes on each table. Splurge on bright red and green plastic plates and utensils, as well as paper napkins. This isn't the time for economical flat white. And yes, it's perfectly fine to opt for plastic rather than fine china and silverware. You want cleanup of your Christmas party food to be easy. Besides, there are some really cool-looking disposable holiday wares out there.
Christmas party buffet stations should include a few goodies from at least these categories:
APPETIZERS. Set out 4 or 5 choices prettily arranged on plates or platters. In this case, white is the perfect backdrop for your colorful food tidbits—don't want the Christmas party appetizers competing with bright red and green backgrounds. Serve all non-messy finger foods, and all you'll need are napkins and small plates. All of the following are wonderful additions to your spread:
SALADS. Provide 3 choices and your guests will have plenty. For these, you need napkins, small plates, and forks. Make sure all the ingredients are bite-size so that you avoid having folks trying to cut food while balancing a tiny plate on their laps. Colorful and easy, the following will fill out your table in grand style:
DESSERTS. Again, 3 different desserts should satisfy the most raging sweet tooth. Put out small plates and napkins. Depending on which desserts you opt for, you may not need eating utensils.
DRINKS. Ah-hah, you've arrived at the station that will probably get the most visits. Mulled cider and eggnog are must-haves. Depending on the number of guests, you may want to set out actual glass cups and tumblers instead of plastic. If you're serving wine, I insist that you go for the glass. Don't know about you, but wine just doesn't taste the same swilled down from a plastic container of any sort. Eggnog is a different story: cute glass punch cups are lovely, but plastic will also fill the bill.
Why not set up your buffet table as a miniature Christmas tree scene, complete with gifts? Cut the tops off of several boxes that are just large enough to hold your serving bowls. If necessary, cut the boxes around the top edge so that they're the same heights as whatever bowls you're going to place inside.
Wrap the boxes in bright Christmas wrapping paper. Tie a wide ribbon around the side of the box and affix a large bow on the front. Ribbons and bows should be in Christmassy colors, of course. Wrap a few sturdy empty boxes, leaving the bows off. You'll use these boxes as stands.
Set your serving bowls inside the topless boxes. Put some of the boxes containing Christmas party food on top of the empty wrapped boxes. The goal is to have bowls at varying heights to simulate piles of presents under a Christmas tree.
Speaking of which, set a miniature Christmas tree on your buffet table as a backdrop to the pile of boxes. The tree can be real or artificial. Be sure to brighten it with miniature decorations. Some of our homemade Christmas party favors would make adorable additions to the tree.
When you're ready to lay out your Christmas party foods, carefully spoon your various foods into the bowls already nestled inside the boxes. For additional green on your table: garnish dips with parsley; line salad bowls with romaine lettuce leaves.
Arrange the food on your Christmas party buffet table in the shape of favorite Christmas items. Voila, instant additional holiday decorations!
APPETIZER WREATH. On a large round platter, arrange your appetizers in concentric circles to create the base of the wreath. Add artfully arranged bay leaves around the perimeter of the appetizers. Lay a red satin bow at the top of the plate.
DESSERT BELL. On a large square platter, arrange overlapping Christmas cookies in rows of varying lengths so that the end result is the shape of a bell. Underneath the last row place one large round cookie as the bell clapper.
DESSERT CHRISTMAS TREE. On a large rectangular platter, lay out desserts cut into squares in parallel rows. The top row will have only 1 square; the next row 2 squares; the row under that one, 3 squares...you get the picture. Keep going until you've laid out the majority of your sweets in the shape of a triangle. Under the last row, arrange dessert squares in a block shape for the tree trunk. Any dessert you normally cut into squares will do the trick. I like serving homemade lemon squares as the sweet ending to my layout of Christmas party foods.
CANDY CANE SWEETS. On large rectangular platters, arrange miniature desserts in a candy cane shape, alternating white and red for the candy cane stripes. Miniature cupcakes work well—some with red icing, some with white. Another great combination is brownies cut into bite-size squares topped with half a maraschino cherry, paired with dollops of homemade meringues. Complete the look with candy canes scattered about on the table.
Your Christmas party foods can easily follow the path of holiday colors. For sure, no clashing with your holiday decor here.
APPETIZERS. Assemble tea sandwiches made with white bread. You can also alternate white and brown bread slices, just make sure white is on top. Make a watercress and cream cheese filling for a lovely bright green, smoked salmon and cream cheese for your red. Spinach dip is another tasty green appetizer that folks clamor for each year. Serve this tasty Christmas party food with an assortment of Christmas party crackers. It's also great presented in a hollowed-out round of dark bread, with the bread insides torn into chunks and scattered around the perimeter.
DRINKS. Green melon ball, red mulled wine, white eggnog: all the colors your heart could desire in Christmas party drinks. Go ahead and stretch the concept a bit with clear sparkling wine as your shimmery silver.

When Man's Best Friend AttacksPosted: June 15th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Legal and Law | Comments Off on When Man's Best Friend Attacks
There is often items in the news where someone has been bitten by a dog, and while they are touted as mans best friend, when mans best friend attacks there are several things that should be done.
Dog bites not only are painful at the time of the bite, they continue to be painful while healing and when a person is bit they may not be certain what should be done. When a dog bites a person they should be given medical treatment immediately even if the bite is not severe as infection is a real possibility, the bite will also swell, be bruised and many times need stitches.
The dog in most states needs to be quarantined and authorities notified the dog will be held for ten days in most cases to be certain it shows no signs of rabies or other diseases that can be transferred by the bite its human victim. Even when the dog belongs to a friend or neighbor it is often wise to contact an attorney, who specializes in dog bites not only to know your rights, but also they will handle the case in a way that will keep communications in a civilized manner. There are times when approaching an owner of a dog who has bitten is either difficult because of the injury or because it may be a personal friend, a skilled attorney can relieve the stress of this situation.
Dog bites can do more harm than just the open marks of teeth wounds; teeth wounds puncture the skin leaving not only bleeding but also the risk of infection and pain while healing. With large or small dogs there is a potential when bitten to have torn muscles or cut tendons also. When mans best friend attacks and he is large there is also the risk of broken bones.
After a dog bites a person many times even after the wound is healed there are surgeries that are required to improve the scar or physical therapy when the bite has been on an arm or leg. Physical therapy may not be the only type of therapy needed, often dog bite victims feel the need to seek therapy to relieve the fear they feel when in the presence of a dog. Any of these is a large expense and is also necessary in some cases and this is when it is a wise idea to seek an attorney that is well versed in dog bites who will know the dog laws.
When man's best friend attacks in cities like LA is best learned Los Angeles area or Orange County dog bite attorneys. Dog Bite attorneys in Los Angeles may seem to be a dime a dozen, but injuries like deglove, amputation injury and brain damages from dog bites will likely need the aid of trustworthy lawyers in California.

Merry 4th Day of Christmas
I've spent the afternoon sending Christmas cards. It feels good to remember and be in touch with people I haven't heard from in a year. I think it was Dickens who said, "Memory burns brightest at Christmas!"

We inseminated last night with the aid of an Instead cup and still no surge detected this morning. I've woken up this morning to 3 inches of sparkling white snow that reminds me of my new favorite donut at Starbucks.
Yesterday, I decided that this cycle's present was not going to be given to the spirit of the lovely child on the other side, but to the egg. This month, I got the egg a shiny gum wrapper. I have decided that this month's egg is going to have to be like a seagull, plucking and picking at lots of dead and dubious sperms, before finding the tender juicy morsel, much like a seagull does to french fries, rocks and gum wrappers before finding the freshest little sand crab.
Next month, insemination will involve: 4 vials of sperm, a nitrogen tank, a speculum, a flashlight, many digital OPKs and an Instead cup. This will cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 dollars and leave us with 1785 for the rest of the year. We can then do 4 dry ice tries or 2 liquid nitrogen tries.
Every night we read a poem from a poetry book. Last night's poem started off, "Maybe our failed hopes rise like tulips/ out of the cold ground." It was a lovely poem, maybe one of the lovliest in the book, just an unfortunate way to end a poorly timed insemination.
So, no offense, Mark Halperin.

Doom Open beta is now live to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Across all platforms, Doom has received mixed reviews and we are most unhappy with the new Doom trying to be something it should never be.
Doom open beta gameplay becomes stale after only a few games. Doom was suppose to be taking this series back to its roots but it looks like at least its beta isn't taking it anywhere.
Betas are held to test the game before release and see if there are any problems that needs fixing e.g bugs, glitches, balancing etc. However, if there are problems with its core design, it should be worrisome for developers.
Doom is pretty much like a modern military shooter but with a hellish look. There are issues with gameplay pacing, limited level editor, pretty dull Doomguy, and a very annoying announcer that needs to die. The game is unimaginative and bland, we wouldn't be wrong to call it Bethesda's Call of Duty.
If fans wanted to play Call of Duty, they would've just ordered Black Ops 3.
Doom doesn't know what it wants to be, it is stuck somewhere between a modern day shooter and the classic Doom and fails to offer anything that's remotely similar to what a Doom game should be.
Doom is generic and boring.
Player's movement speed is somewhere between Quake and Call of Duty. There are loadouts, taunts, you aren't allowed to pick up weapons, weapons need to be unlocked, melee kills are overpowered.
All of the aforementioned would work in any of our modern day shooters and that is exactly the problem. It feels more like a Halo, Call of Duty, rather than Doom.
It is clear that ID is under pressure to bring in new players to revive Doom and possibly compete with Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Customization is a decent touch but doesn't work for the game. Most of the time your character will look like a Spartan. The color themes provided to players don't match with the color palette for the rest of the game.
Doom multiplayer basically tries to use the best of both worlds (modern day shooters, classic DOOM) and fails to find a middle ground that works.
Single player campaign would be different but even in multiplayer the game should remain true its roots and not follow the likes of other redundant shooters.
Doom is coming out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. You can share your opinions for the open beta and let me know what you think of mine in the comments below.

Coined after famous ancient pueblos, Casa Grande, AZ lies at 1,398 feet above sea level in-between Tucson and Phoenix. As of the Census Bureau in 2015, the city has 51,460 inhabitants, up and estimated 5.9% from 2010.
The history of what is now days called Casa Grande dates back many hundreds of years ago to when the Hohokam people roamed the land. The Hohokam were known for the extensive networks of canals that they built across the southwest region of the United States. These people are also best known for the caliche structure they left about 45 miles NE of the Casa Grande. This structure was turned into a national monument called the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and is where the City of Casa Grande adopted its name from.
Fast forward a few hundred years to the mid-1800's, when the Southern Pacific Railroad was authorized to build a rail system that extended from Marshall, Texas to San Diego, California. During construction, the heat became so oppressive that the workers had to stop on May 19, 1879. Also during this year, a mining boom broke out and attracted people to come and stay in Casa Grande.
The town had its fair share of trials and tribulations as any other town has had, including a fire that destroyed all the wooden structures within the town. Around the turn of the century, the mining industry began to dwindle, and luckily enough for Casa Grande, agriculture in the area boomed and kept the town alive. In 1915, the town was incorporated.
The town continued to be a farming society until the middle of World War II. At this time, a relocation camp, known as the Gila River Relocation Center, was set up. One of the people relocated to this area was Kenichi Zenimura, a baseball player. He constructed a baseball field in the area and started a baseball league in the camp.
Horace Stoneham, the San Francisco Giants owner, developed the Franciso Grande Hotel and Golf Resort. This location would be used as the location for the San Francisco Giants spring training. The pool at this resort is in the shape of a baseball and baseball bat to commemorate the Giants. In 1961, the first exhibition game was played here. In this game, Wille Mays hit a 357-foot home run. Although this location is no longer used for spring training, it is still a popular destination. It offers luxurious accommodations and outstanding golf to its visitors.
Females makeup slightly more than half the population at 51.5%. It is 67.3% white. American Indians and African-Americans each makeup 4.6% of the population. Asians makeup 1.8% of the population while other races are at 19.4%.
In total, there are 18,141 households in Casa Grande. 76.4% of those households are comprised of families. The average household size is 2.74.
The majority of homes are occupied by owners at 67.5%. The remaining 32.5% of household stock is renter occupied. Average rent in Casa Grande is $849.
Most residents of Casa Grande live in city limits. Only 3% of the population lives in a rural setting. The city consists of 109.67 square miles of land at an elevation of 1,398 feet. It has a population density of 442.8 people per each square mile.
In Casa Grande, the area code is 520 and there are three zip codes: 85122, 85130, and 85193. It is in the mountain standard time zone (MST). The median age of its residents is 39.3 years.
The population of Casa Grande has steadily grown throughout the years. In 1880, the population was 33. It wasn't until the 1930s that the population reached more than one thousand. In the 1950 census, the population was a little over 4000. That number doubled in 10 years to 8,311 and then to steadily grown throughout the years. By 2000 the population had grown to 25,224. Over the next 10 years, there was another large increase in the population. As of the 2010 census, there were more than 48,000 residents in this city.
The climate of Casa Grande is dry desert, like most of the State of Arizona. Each year, an average of ten inches of rain fall. The majority of this precipitation comes during monsoon season when storms blow north from the Sea of Cortez. Temperatures can reach as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The coldest temperatures are reached in January. It sometimes is 38 degrees Fahrenheit during cold January nights. On average, Casa Grande has 295 sunny days which is 90 more than the US average.
Casa Grande is famous for its beautiful sunsets.
In the past, the economy of Casa Grande was fueled by farming. Dairy and cotton were important in the early years of the city. However, most residents of the city now live in Casa Grande but commute to work in either Phoenix or Tucson. Because of this, most local business growth has been in the service area.
The average household's income has risen substantially in the past several years. In 2000, that average household income was $32,212 but at the 2010 Census, it had risen to $44,707. However, average household income levels in Casa Grande are still lower than the Arizona average of $48,510. The average per capita income is $22,396 currently which has risen from the average per capita income of $15,917 in 2000.
The largest employers in Casa Grande are its school district and the Medical Center followed by Walmart, Bezel Corporation, Frito-Lay, the City of Casa Grande, and Abbot Laboratories.
Real Estate
The median sales price is $146,250, median price per square foot is $83, and the median rent per month is $1,100. 73% of residents own vs. rent. Real estate prices were skyrocketing in 2007 and 2008 as there were rumors that Casa Grande would eventually connect to Phoenix, AZ. After 2008, real estate prices have declined. Casa Grande's real estate market experienced a two percent decline this year.
The public schooling system in Casa Grande is broken into three different schools: elementary school for kindergarten to fifth grade, middle school for sixth to eighth grade, and high school for ninth to twelfth grade. There are nine public elementary schools, three public middle schools, three public high schools. Where one lives within Casa Grande dictates which schools one's children attend. There are also two private schools and two colleges in Casa Grande.
Due to the undeveloped part of the state that Casa Grande lies, land is cheap so intern there are many parks and trails. In 2005, the City Council conducted a survey of all of the trails in and around Casa Grande and made a master map. http://www.casagrandeaz.gov/rec/parks/trails-master-plan/
There are seven Reservable Parks in the city:
- Carr McNatt Park
- Ed Hooper Rodeo Park
- Dave White Regional Park
- North Mountain Park
- O'Niel Park
- Peart Park
- Villago Community Park
Located north of the city at 3225 N Lear Ave is the Casa Grande Municipal Airport. The airport has one runway which is 100 feet wide and 5,200 long, land for hangers to be built, and a terminal with offices, bathrooms, showers and a pilot briefing room. There are now landing towers, easy access to airport, plenty of ramp space, close to casinos/shopping, and no landing fees.
Medical Service Locations
Casa Grande has three urgent care locations and one hospital. The hospital is Banner Casa Grande Medical Center. Services at the hospital include: anticoagulation, behavior health and mental health, diabetes, emergency, endoscopy, gastroenterology, heart, imaging, intensive care, maternity, sleep medicine, sports medicine, surgery and transplants.
Prominent People
Prominent people from Casa Grande include:
David Spade – Unfortunately, after Chris Farley's unexpected death due to a drug overdose, his career path took a turn. They were a comedic duo during the 90's that would have likely continued to do many more movies together. There were others that were part of the gang, but those two were the ones that had the on screen chemistry.
Fred Enke – was known for basketball at the University of Arizona, and he as also a golf and football coach.
Pablo Francisco – was a famous comedian.
Eduardo C. Corral – is a notable teacher from the area, and he is also known for being an award winning poet.
Eduardo C. Guerrero – is a famous photographer from the area is.
Alex Torres – is a well-respected guitarist.
Michael Sullivan – is remembered for his masonry work throughout Casa Grande.
Things To Do In Casa Grande
The Domes Of Casa Grande – This is very different from the Casa Grande ruins National Monument with the Anastasi dwellings. These are contemporary, retro-futuristic structures There are also those that are caterpillar-like in shape, and the origins of these structures is not really well-known. There are rumors that witchcraft or devil worshipers would occupy them, whereas others believe that it is haunted.
Skydiving – Due to its location on highway 10 in between Phoenix and Tucson, skydiving in this area provides amazing views of the surrounding cities and countries. You will be able to see the Sonoran Desert National Monument, the Tonto National Forest to the Northeast, and many other sites in all directions. It is a great way to really appreciate how the expense of the desert is, and get a bird's eye view of the surrounding forest and wildlife refuges that can be found throughout this area. It is recommended that you go early in the morning due to how hot it tends to be, especially during the summer months. It's the perfect excursion for both adults and children alike, something that everybody can do for fun.
Big House Ruins – Thousands of years ago, there were farmers that lived in what is now known as Casa Grande. There are many ruins in the area that show evidence of this. One such structure is the Big House. This is one of the largest prehistoric buildings ever erected in the United States. If you are a major history buff, this should be right up your alley.
Hohokam Pima National Monument – If you plan to visit this site, keep in mind that you will need to call ahead. Unlike many other landmarks in the area, this place does not allow people to casually stroll in. This is probably because there are no brochures, features, displays, signs or anything that make this a place that people would flock too. It is also on Native American land, which means that it is not generally open for the public to views as they wish.
The Visitor Center – In many cities, the visitors center is simply a place to stop in to get directions and use the restroom. This is not the case in Casa Grande. This place actually requires a fee to gain admission since there are displays all over the place and it is considered to be a museum. While you can still think of it as a place to get information about the area and grab a few souvenirs, it definitely serves a greater purpose than that.
Picacho Peak – This state park is 20 minutes south of Casa Grande but has fantastic hiking. The peak is 1,500 feet and is filled with winding desert trails. Aninimities include: tent and camp site rentals, tourist shop, restrooms and showers, charcoal grills, waste disposal area, shaded areas, picnic tables, and of course trails.

Investing in Youth in Baltimore: A Q&A with Councilman Bill Henry
When national media swarmed Baltimore this April to cover the protests and unrest that followed the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody, 4th District City Councilman Bill Henry found himself addressing a packed room of media personnel. Yet just 19 hours earlier, when he had stood at the same podium to announce a new resolution to increase funding for school and after-school programs, not a single reporter covered the story.
To Henry, this media silence highlights a larger challenge facing Baltimore — while there is seldom the political will or funding for programs that invest in disadvantaged youth, the city has an ever-increasing budget for policing them. The police budget has tripled over the last 20 years, and the overall city budget has doubled, but parks and recreation funding (which funds many school-related and after-school activities) has decreased by a third.
Decades of disinvestment in the low-income neighborhoods of East and West Baltimore have left youth in these communities cut off from the infrastructure that would allow them to thrive: a safe and healthy living environment, quality education and employment opportunities, and positive after-school, weekend, and summer activities. As a result, more than one in five Black youth ages 16 to 24 in the region are disconnected, meaning that they are neither in school nor working — more than double the proportion of White youth in the region.
While addressing the issues plaguing many low-income communities and communities of color in Baltimore will require a diverse set of approaches, Henry and other education advocates are focusing on school and after-school programs as central targets because they help ensure that these youth are educated, healthy, and ready to thrive in the workforce. Such investments are essential for breaking intergenerational cycles of poverty and improving the economic prosperity of these neighborhoods and the entire city of Baltimore.
How are investments in youth programs related to the current policing climate in Baltimore?
We are where we are because for the last quarter of a century we have put all our resources into the policing and prison and criminal justice side of the public safety effort, and we've disinvested in the youth development side of public safety. If you give kids things to do [after school], and you give their parents opportunities for jobs and housing so that they can provide a stable family structure, then there's more of a chance they'll stay on track towards meaningful employment or further education. They will be less likely to drop out of school.
In the 1980s, Baltimore had almost a hundred rec centers — now we have 41. The kids then do things people in the neighborhood don't want them to do, so we send the police to get them — at a dramatically more expensive rate than it would have been to just give them something to do in the first place.
What school and after-school programs are you currently advocating for?
We have a community school program in Baltimore that serves 45 schools, where a community school coordinator works with the school, the community, and other stakeholders to leverage existing resources for the students and knit the school tighter to the surrounding community. That program has seen continual cuts to its budgets, [despite the fact that] the mayor promised in the last election to double funding on after-school programs during the course of her term. This year was the first time the budget wasn't cut, so community organizers agreed that this is an opportunity to push for that funding increase, from the current $6 million to $10 million. This would take us from providing after-school programs from 4,000 students to 6,000 students, and would take us from 45 community schools citywide to 60. The resolution [for this funding increase] was co-sponsored by all 14 members of the city council and we voted unanimously to adopt it. The mayor still has to make a determination on it by no later than June 25.
You've spent years advocating for these programs. Why is it so difficult to get money in the city budget for these types of investments?
It would be cheaper to do more investment in the front end for kids and their parents, but the difficulty in implementing that comes from fear, quite frankly. I haven't run into anyone in government who doesn't acknowledge that it makes more sense and is more cost-effective to invest in the front end [for these youth]. But, for the past quarter century most elected officials, and all mayors, have responded to the segment of our community that is afraid. In Baltimore we have the uncomfortable combination of people who are most likely to vote being older people who are least directly connected to these youth, and the tool that politicians use to make them feel safe is more police.
Has the dialogue about investing in youth changed since the uprising?
In the aftermath of the uprising, the message that several of us [in the city council] have been pushing for a while is starting to spread wider: just because we're not spending the money on the police department, that doesn't mean we're not spending it on improving public safety. Giving kids other things to be doing after school, on weekends, and in the summer is a tool for public safety. It used to be that no one would say that we can move money out of policing to pay for youth development, but since the uprising, there's been a larger awareness that our police department has significant room for improvement, and that may not require that it spend all the money it has been spending. The best we [as advocates and organizers] can do is to show that when we talk about youth development, the same money could be spent more efficiently and produce useful outcomes, compared to just putting more money in the police department budget. That isn't always easy because it's easier to track how many arrests you make, but it's impossible to measure the kids who don't commit crimes because they're coming to a rec center after school.

Christ the Beautiful
Christ remains the source and summation of the beautiful. And we only participate in it because He overflows with it.
In the wilderness there is grace, grace to heal, preserve, even transform.
Christ remains the source and summation of the beautiful. And we only participate in it because He overflows with it.
That's what it means to be God, to be so great that your power and humility don't contradict.
When the Christ life gets a hold of us and starts unwinding envy, we begin doing something odd, we enjoy regarding one another more important than ourselves (Philippians 2:3).
As we pursue purgation we notice something new, something that quite possibly wasn't there before, something drawing us to, "the mysterious vitality of trees, the silent magic of the forest."
When we begin the crucified life (mortification) we send out a signal somewhere in the Universe. The devil goes to battle with those in obedience.
Gluttony is the sinful pattern of using food or drink to fill some vacancy in our soul.
If we keep stepping forward–not perfectly, but persistently–we can overcome.
Pain and suffering not only reveal to us the unseen layers of our brokenness, but it can be one of the important ways virtue is tested.
Our world and our lives have an infinite range of possibilities for becoming.

How to set the clock in a 2016 Nissan RogueBy Product Expert | Posted in Nissan Rogue, Tips and tricks on Friday, October 14th, 2016 at 8:06 pm
If we're being honest, we don't understand why Daylight Savings Time is a thing here in Florida either. It's not like we don't get enough sun as it is, but like it or not, every year in November we set the clocks back an hour. This year, DST ends on November 6 at 2 am, and if you have a 2016 Nissan Rogue you might be wondering how to change its clock when the time comes. We'll tell you how at Nissan of Melbourne!
Setting the clock in a 2016 Nissan Rogue
Luckily, with new innovations like touchscreens and digital displays, it's much easier to access your clock and get it in order. Below are the steps to set your clock back, if your Rogue is outfitted with a NissanConnect navigation system:
- There is a button that says "Apps" on the upper right hand side of your control panel. Did you find it? Great job! Press it and continue on to step 2.
- On the interface's touchscreen, press "Settings" and then "System" on the next page.
- The "System" screen should have an option for "Clock." Press it.
- Under "Clock Settings," press the "Clock Mode" button to toggle it from "Manual" to "Auto.'
Check out some research that we did on the Rogue!
If you want your Rogue to keep the time for you, you can press "Auto" and your built in GPS system will set the time accordingly. If you want to set the time yourself, follow the rest of these steps:
- While still under the "Clock Settings" page, press "Set Clock Manually."
- You'll see a screen where you can adjust the hour, minute, day or year on your clock. Since Daylight Savings Time is over, press the "-" button to send the clock back an hour.
You're done! If you're still confused as to whether or not you have a navigation system set up in your car, or if you want a visual guide to set your clock, we've included videos about how to set the clock in your 2016 Rogue with or without a navigation system outfitted.
Contact us at Nissan of Melbourne
If you'd like more information on the Nissan Rogue's technology, feel free to contact us here at Nissan of Melbourne! We'd be more than happy to help you out with anything you need done to your car, so don't hesitate to schedule service with us if there's something more pressing than a clock issue going on!

According to Wikipedia (so it must be true!) a quantum "is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction."
Example: this post, as an effort to catch up with my "Blogging A to Z" Challenge. ;-)
Now you understand the meaning of the title of the second Daniel Craig Bond movie: "Quantum of Solace."

Duterte's Kitchen: 5 Ways You Can Help Feed Street Children In Cubao
Duterte's Kitchen, a small eatery in Cubao named after President Rodrigo Duterte, is searching for more volunteers and donors who will help feed and educate street children in Cubao. The free food center, launched on Oct. 10, currently serves free meals to around 50 to 70 street children daily.
Duterte's Kitchen serves free food for street kids
The establishment, located in a building along EDSA, across Farmer's Plaza, was mainly decided by House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez in support of the president's national feeding program for the poor. It is run by the ruling Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), fueled by the donations and help from donors and volunteers who believe in the advocacy of extending help to the underprivileged people.
In their first weeks, Duterte's Kitchen only provided food for the street children with only lugaw (rice porridge) or champorado (chocolate rice porridge) in their menu. When donations came flooding in, they have started to attend to hungry adults as well – serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
Aside from providing food to the needy, the project is also holding learning and gaming activities for kids. The organizers aim to bring the Kitchen nationwide to reach out to more children roaming the streets. However, in order to do so, they require more volunteers and donors who will support the initiative.
Here are 5 ways you can help and support the initiatives of Duterte's Kitchen.
1. Teach street children how to read and write, every Monday to Friday, 6 to 8 pm.
2. Teach street children how to play a musical instrument, every Monday to Friday, 6 to 8 pm.
3. Feed and engage with street children as they eat, 7 am to 12 noon, 1 pm to 6 pm.
4. Donate in-kind goods.
5. Volunteer for work.
It pays to take note that Duterte's Kitchen only accepts donations in-kind and volunteer work. The initiative is envisioned to provide a comprehensive temporary shelter for street children, where they can be provided with food, emergency medical care and basic education in the future.
Those who are interested to donate food or do volunteer work, can reach the organizers through their Facebook Page: Duterte's Kitchen.
What do you think of Duterte's Kitchen? What about their mission to provide food and basic education for street children? Let us know in the comments section below.

OnPage – Critical Messaging and Escalation Policy
OnPage is a secure critical messaging platform with escalation policy.
Never miss an alert and make sure that alerts go to the right person.
OnPage - Critical messaging and escalation policy
OnPage is perfect for Critical Messaging and escalation policy. Go to our comparison page to learn more
> Create and manage escalation policies
> 2-way messaging with rich content and attachments
> Contact sync
> 1 monthly fee covers unlimited global messaging
> Secure, encrypted communication
> Ability to remotely wipe sensitive patient information
> Repeated alert delivery until device is operational
> A single device for all communication
What is escalation policy
An alert escalation or escalation policy makes sure that if an incident is not acknowledged or resolved within a pre-determined amount of time, it will be escalated to the correct user(s). You can customize who you want to receive the alert, the amount of time to wait before escalating to the next user(s), and which user(s) the alert should be escalated to.
When is an escalation policy useful? Imagine that you have an on-call team, monitoring critical systems. In the event of an incident, an alert is sent out either by a fellow team member or one of the monitoring tools connected to the hundreds of end points being monitored. If this alert is not acknowledged, what happens to it?
This is a general scenario in which OnPage is used, especially by our MSP customers. Our Scheduler allows you to schedule on-call teams and allows for precautionary steps to be taken that automate the alert going forth to an escalation team.

Flickering candlelight is perfect for sharing ghost stories. We used sheets of decorative aluminum to cast spooky shadows long into the night.
Make the Halloween craft: Cut the sheets into strips with tin snips. Use food containers, such as soup cans, to figure out your dimensions. A 10x17-inch piece makes a large lantern; a 4x10-inch strip makes a votive.
Roll the strips into cylinders, using the food containers as molds. To secure, twist wire through the mesh at the top, middle, and bottom of the seams. Turn edges of wire to inside and trim excess. Spray surfaces with two coats of black primer; let dry between applications.

Recently, consumers took note of a series of new ASOS images that show models in a variety of the retailer's new swimwear. Although the images are pretty standard in terms of style, many have noticed that the brand decided to leave the natural markings on the model's bodies exposed, including the stretchmarks on their hips and thighs.
By leaving the images unedited, ASOS helps to make progress in the body positive movement, which casts away many of the unrealistic ideals that Photoshop can promote. After the ASOS images were posted on the brand's online store, users on Twitter began to share them in support.
Although some claim that the brand still has room for improvement, the release of the unedited images is a step in the right direction for ASOS, and is likely to inspire other brands to make similar choices.
