School spirit is riding high across Lubbock. You may have seen this mobile billboard around town, generating excitement for Saturday's game against Oklahoma. Beaver Raymond with Plains Capital Bank drives the truck. He says he's gotten a lot of cheers, and folks wanting to take pictures with the mobile board.
"Oh, it's tons of fun. Even the trip from Dallas to Lubbock was wonderful, cars honking all the way, you know, cheering you on," says Raymond.
Raymond says he'll keep driving around Lubbock until game day. Then, if Tech wins, they'll switch the sign to "beat Baylor" and keep the spirit driving across the city.

I went into that article about organic and local food expecting to hate it and it be trite, and came away mostly impressed. It doesn't really have much in the way of good solutions, but does a good job of explaining what some of the problems are.

The unmistakable sounds of The Beatles awaits audiences at the Garrick Theatre.
Back by popular demand, this hit show has been brought back to London's West End to celebrate the half-century since the Beatles album and film A Hard Day's Night took the world by storm.
As enduring as the band that inspired the show, this stage spectacular is an essential experience for fans of the Fab Four. The show follows their progress from humble beginnings at the Cavern Club through to the heady days of the Abbey Road Studio sessions, with the madness of Beatlemania taking up the intervening years.
Expect hit after hit as the band's amazing back catalogue of tunes is resurrected in true 1960s style. More than 40 Beatles' classics are performed live, with firm favourites setting the mood for a night of pop music genius. Songs include:
- I Wanna Hold Your Hand
- Strawberry Fields
- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
- Twist and Shout

Provo • Brigham Young University, which will begin its first season as a football independence in three weeks, has not been contacted by the Big 12 conference about the possibility of joining that league should Texas A&M leave it for the Southeastern Conference, BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said Saturday.
Moments after the Cougars completed their first scrimmage of preseason camp at LaVell Edwards Stadium, Holmoe addressed the issue that has spawned countrywide talk regarding the future of the conference alignments.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"Well, I think there is something going on," Holmoe said. "From our perspective, we have not been contacted by anybody. Never have.
"It is our feel that we are going to move forward. We have a big, big football season ahead of us, and there are a lot of things going on right now within our program that move us forward to independence, [such as] ESPN and BYU broadcasting. So our strength is moving ahead," Holmoe said.
The athletic director declined to say whether BYU has a buyout clause with the West Coast Conference, where most of its other sports have been placed.
Last August, BYU left the Mountain West Conference, signed an eight-year deal with ESPN and announced a six-game series with Notre Dame and an agreement with the Western Athletic Conference to provide selected football opponents for the next two seasons.
Holmoe said BYU is happy with that move and has no regrets.
"The most important thing is we have our partners, and our relationships that we are moving forward with in a strong manner," he said. "Certainly, regarding football and what we would do, I am not going to get into anything because nothing has even been said."
Holmoe said several times in the three-minute interview that no conferences have come calling.
"When our name is brought up by a commissioner of a conference, maybe that would be serious," he said. "But we have not received any calls. I have not talked to anybody. This is similar to how it was back a year and a half ago. A lot of people are speculating, and we are not. We are moving forward fast."
Asked if he would like to be receiving those calls, Holmoe said it doesn't matter.
"No. That's speculation," he said. "Like right now, I would like to be playing good football like we did today, and I can't wait to play the first game."

School lunch; repulsive meat like substance.

Longing. Above all, longing. It's the only word that comes to mind when I slip into the dungeons of my mind & I think about you. We talked about what went wrong, but, does it mean anything? Is there even the slightest chance things can go back to how they once were?

text: Palestinian Islamists are regularly in the headlines, mainly for their violent attempts to undermine the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. Who are these people, what motivates them and how did they become such a powerful force? Drawing on interviews with Palestinian and Jordanian Islamists, primary sources and historical records, this work provides some answers, and challenges prevailing theories of Islamic resurgence. The book argues that the contemporary revival of Islamic politics occurred much later in Palestine than in other countries of the Middle East and explores the reason for this lag. It also traces Israel's initial encouragement of political Islam as a rival force to the PLO and its subsequent growth into a movement that now defies all Israeli attempts to crush it and presents a formidable challenge to the PLO's claim to determine the future of the Palestinian people.

How large is this hat? I have huge dreads and I don't want this to be too tight on me
Member since
It is very large, over sized, and made to fit that way. It should do okay for your dreads. Also you can stretch it out a lot as well so it should fit.
Rob Wykoff

Jig, this hat will fit you well, it's got a ton of extra space to accommodate dem dreads.

The best free armor sets for your Skyrim Dragonborn
We love mods at PC Gamer. Earlier on today, Tom posted about the two Steam Workshop collections we've assembled for anyone who wants to quickly and easily enhance their Skyrim experience. All good stuff, but now it's time to model some armour, and showcase some of the best, most detailed sets currently available for download.
Skyrim's initial wardrobe of armors is fine - splendid, even - but after a dozen hours looting the same sets began to get monotonous. Praise Talos then, because modders are on hand to deck you out in a wider range of garments. There's an emphasis on "lore-friendly" sets; gear that's fitting with the icy setting of Skyrim and not, say, the world of an JRPG (though there's plenty of those outfits, too). We've hand-picked eight of them. No Space Marines here.
Don't be worried about any of these unbalancing your game. Most require the very best smithing perks to make, which you can only access after a solid weekend's playthrough. Their stats have also been matched to the Bethesda-crafted armors too, so they have the same credibility as Nightingale or the Blades' sets.
Some of these mods come from the Steam Workshop, while the rest are downloaded via the Skyrim Nexus. For the Steam Workshop tools, all you have to do is log in and click the "Subscribe" button. Next time you boot up Skyrim, there'll be a short wait while the launcher downloads the relevant files. Skyrim Nexus' equivalent service is the Nexus Mod Manager: a free download that links up to the website. Find the mods you want on the Nexus, download them, then install them via the client. Simple.
Warchief Armor
Our pick of the bunch is the Warchief option, a fur and metal combo with a saber cat helm. Touted by its creator as a "fusion of Orcish brutality and Nordic resilience", this set is packed with small touches, and flexes its considerable muscle at high resolution. It's available in both light and heavy variants, with no difference in appearance between the two. Skulls, pouches and hanging teeth all feature, and the sets can only be crafted if you are in possession of some elusive materials.
Hedge Knight
If the Warchief set smells like Warcraft, then there's a very precise scent to the Hedge Knight one too: Game of Thrones. While it doesn't bear any explicit reference to George RR Martin's conniving, scheming saga (there are shields that do, though), it definitely looks like you could use "Winter Is Coming" as a Shout while you play. Your character will appreciate being kept nice and snug under a long cloak, but they might abhor wearing the rather unfashionable helmet. Perfect for stamping through cities on your way to a fiery meeting the Jarl.
Vagabond Armor
The Vagabond set is slightly more presentable than the armor Skyrim's kamikaze bandits don, but it still cuts a coldly threatening figure. Its gloves look more like bear claws, while coned spikes protrude out of the shin-pads. Unfortunately, this armor is currently no good for female Dragonborn, and the helmet isn't wholly compatible with Argonians and Khajiit. A shame, because it looks great.
Redguard Knight Armor
With the Redguard Armor, you can finally look as cool as the Alik'r, the Redguard soldiers who wander around Skyrim searching for traitors and Thalmor sympathisers. This is a heavier variant to the one found in the vanilla game, with a chainmail jacket and a tough helmet underneath its cloth coating. Again, detail drives this mod: hoth has outfitted the set with a belt-pouch, runed cufflinks, and a natty cloak. There's even a craftable scimitar!
Ponty's Chainmail Armor
Here's a relatively light but still trustworthy option: chainmail. There wasn't much of it at all in the unmodded release of Skyrim, but for those who prefer their armor to be made out of small metal rings rather than slabs and chunks of iron and steel, then Ponty's Chainmail Armor might be for you. It's still early days for the mod, and Ponty the creator is intending to add in female versions, as well as coifs and mittens for both genders. As with all other Workshop mods, these will be downloaded to your game automatically, so sit tight.
Viking Spawn Shield
Technically, this weighty wooden shield could never be found in Tamriel, as it actually belongs to the world of Todd McFarlane's Spawn. We include it in this list, though, because without knowing that you'd be none the wiser: it's a barrier any Stormcloak would be proud to hide behind (KIDS! This is not an example of civil war bias!). Rounded, and jagged at the edges, this shield makes cracking open heads extra satisfying. It's all a touch ironic, really, since McFarlane worked on Skyrim's EA-published rival, Kingdoms of Amalur.
Scout Armor
Bringing a bit of refinement to Skyrim's world of furs and bear heads is DoODABoOM, who has used the official Blades armor as a base for a dark brown outfit that'll make your avatar look very dapper even as s/he massacres the living contents of their 212nd cave. DoOB has even embedded a pattern on the chestpiece, adding an extra layer of prestige to your appearance, even if you have no idea what the significance is.
Horse Armors
Have you ever read from the Scroll of Frenzy in Skyrim? It sends your target into a blind teeth-gnashing rage. In their apoplectic state, the afflicted views friends as enemies, and wishes only to throttle the necks of every last soul around them. I think that spell might be based on what happens when you mention 'Horse Armor' to an Elder Scrolls aficionado. Ha ha.
Anyway, Skyrim's Horse Armors mod (user-made and free!) enables you to strap protection to your horse of choice. The unique steeds - Shadowmere and Frost - are even bestowed with their own armored liveries, which look suitably heavenly or hellish.
No doubt you'll want to show off your Dovahkiin now that they're kitted up in such trend-setting threads. If you're clueless on how to take the best screenshots, give our console tweaks guide a quick read.
What are your favourite Skyrim mods so far?

This conversation is closed.
A unified moral code
OK, so on my other discussion "Do right and wrong exist?" there's a rather hefty debate raging on the existence of objective moral truths vs. subjective morality. I still hold that the only way to know any kind of objective morality is through personal communication with God. (If you'd like to dispute that with me, go to the "Do right and wrong exist?" discussion please.) I made the point that with subjective morality, nobody can agree with each other and any discussion of "what's the right thing to do about this issue?" breaks down into squabbling and nobody gets anywhere. Several of you on that other discussion claimed that by using reason and science, a unified moral code could be developed that the majority of mankind could agree with, a la Sam Harris. I disagree, I don't think it can be done.
So prove me wrong! Right here on TED, I want the TED community to hammer out a moral code. It needs to be applicable to daily life and issues of our time like illegal immigration, abortion, animal rights, environmentalism, government spending, business ethics, and income inequality. Don't worry about all the objective vs. subjective stuff, as long as it works. Go ahead. Define right and wrong in the way that will most benefit society. Be specific and measurable, and collaborate with everyone else. Once some kind of accord has been achieved, I'll try to put it to the test by suggesting a variety of moral dilemmas and we'll see if it holds. I doubt that we'll even get to that point, but go on, defy me!

Mar 3 2013: ....
Scot, instead of asking to be proved wrong, why don't you lay out your position and how you got there. Your moral code and it's origins. Not asking for proof of your conclusion, just an informed argument with reasonable evidence to back it up. A coherent framework. Start at the beginning, what comes first for you and why, and step us through your thinking to your conclusion.
If you are trying to get people to think in a better way about this and related issues, why not do it by example...
Mar 3 2013: His point seems to be if you can not point to religious scripture via revelation as the basis of morality to impose, then it is difficult to agree on a framework.
The flaws in this thinking are obvious. We will argue about the existence of gods, whose god, who's scriptures, which interpretations etc.
There is no reason to put one religious framework for morality above any other human constructed morality without the same sort of analysis and debate. Its not a very satisfying position, just assuming divine command is and should be the benchmark.
Assuming a god to be perfect morally and any perverse moral judgements or actions or threats just a mystery seems to be a convenient cop out.

- 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into large pieces or about 12 tenders
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cornstarch
- SWEET and SOUR SAUCE
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
I made this chicken for dinner yesterday. . . I am so glad I did. The whole time I was eating it I kept asking myself why I don't make it more often. I forget how good this stuff is. It's probably one of my boys' favorites. It goes great with white rice or our favorite thing to serve with it is my kids favorite yellow rice.
This recipe comes from our family cookbook that my cute Aunt Debbie complied years ago — in fact this is one of her recipes. It is one of my MoSt FaVoRiTe cookbooks ever, it has all of our family favorites. So many of the recipes hold fond memories for all of us. My copy is in shambles — pages have fallen out, the cover is torn off, there is food spilled on the pages, pages are torn, some pages are hanging on by a thread. Yep, it's been used just a little bit over the years.
This sweet and sour chicken is better than anything you could get at a restaurant. I promise!!
NOTE: I always double the sauce recipe when I make this. You can use any amount of chicken you want, this is just usually the amount I use. You can cut the pieces of chicken smaller if you want, but I like leaving them a little bigger just because then it's fewer pieces I have to dip and brown (so in other words, I am just being lazy!!).
- Put beaten egg into a pie plate or bowl. Put a bunch of cornstarch into another pie plate or bowl.
- Pour enough oil into large skillet, just enough to cover the bottom. Heat oil.
- Dip each piece of chicken into beaten egg and then into the cornstarch. Cover entire piece of chicken.
- Brown chicken in heated oil on both sides.
- Place in a baking dish. Set aside.
- In small saucepan put sauce ingredients. Stir and heat through until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour over browned chicken.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 45 – 6o minutes.

While the headlines across NHL.com read that the Ilya Kovalchuk situation is "RESOLVED," it doesn't seem to be the end of the Kovalchuk saga…yet.
For circumventing the Collective Bargaining Agreement (the "CBA"), the Devils were fined $3 million. They will also have to sacrifice a third-round pick in the 2011 draft, and a first-round draft pick in one of the next four Entry Drafts (between 2011 and 2014). They must advise the NHL the day after the Stanley Cup Final ends in that calendar year.
While Richard Bloch's ruling said that the Devils acted in good faith, these fines do not make sense or uphold what Bloch issued in his ruling.
"We were today advised of the ruling by the Commissioner with respect to the Kovalchuk matter," Lou Lamoriello said in a statement. "We disagree with the decision. We acted in good faith and did nothing wrong. We will have no further comment."
The Bloch ruling was confusing. In his ruling, he says: "Nothing in this Opinion should be read as suggesting that either the Club or Mr. Kovalchuk operated in bad faith or on the basis of any assumption other than that the [standard player's contract ("SPC")] was fully compliant with the CBA. While intent is specifically listed as a potentially relevant factor in a proceeding such as this, the System Arbitrator here concludes the SPC terms themselves demonstrate this agreement "has the effect of defeating" the provisions of the CBA, with particular reference to the Team Payroll Range language."
Here, Bloch made sure to note that the Devils and Kovalchuk did not act in bad faith. This language looked deliberate, as if it was meant to save the Club and Kovalchuk from being fined.
But according to various sources, the amendment to the CBA which allowed Kovalchuk's contract as well as grandfathered in Roberto Luongo, Marc Savard, Marian Hossa and Chris Pronger's contracts, allowed the NHL to retain their rights to punish the Devils for circumventing the CBA. The amendment also did away with the rule stating that the $3 million fine would count against the salary cap.
But the saga of Kovalchuk may not be done after these fines.
Section 26.8(c) of the CBA says "In order to retain his status as a General Manager or CFO or Club President, each General Manager or CFO or Club President shall annually certify to the NHL that during the prior year he has not violated this Article 26…"
Since the NHL has vehemently ruled that the first Kovalchuk contract was a circumvention of the CBA, and the Club has been punished for said circumvention, when Lou Lamoriello submits Exhibit 32 by July 10, 2011, he will have to say that he circumvented the CBA (based on the NHL's findings). Ergo, Lamoriello will not be able to retain his status as GM and Club President.
Granted, Lamoriello has a better chance of taking this situation to Court and making the NHL prove that he did in fact circumvent the CBA. Based on what Bloch said in his ruling, there is reasonable doubt. There was no intent to circumvent. They acted in good faith. Bloch is on record saying as much, but therein lies the confusion.
This isn't a matter for the NHL to decide whether Lamoriello circumvented the CBA. He'll need to have an unbiased judge with no affiliation to the NHL rule that he did not, in fact, circumvent the CBA.

RALEIGH — The opportunity was there. The effort was there. The only thing missing was the result.
Sunday night, the Hurricanes fell to the Sabres, 2-1, putting a major dent in Carolina's quest for a playoff berth.
Marc-Andre Gragnani scored the first goal of his career 62:56 into the game to seal the win for Buffalo. Gragnani's shot deflected off Hurricane defenseman Tim Gleason and found its way to the back of the net, sending the Sabres' bench into a frenzy.
"I didn't see the shot until the last second, I think it hit my stick or my body," said Gleason in a sour tone. "This time of year you hope for a break or two to go your way, but it didn't happen tonight."
The Hurricanes struggled to build any momentum in the early going, only registering six shots on goal in the opening frame.
"The first period we were all jacked up and maybe just a little tense," said All-Star goaltender Cam Ward. "They played really well in the first and made it really difficult to generate any chances or get the puck to the net."
The Sabres got on the board first when Chris Butler fired a snap shot past Cam Ward 10:47 into the contest. Carolina only had one shot on goal at that point.
The Hurricanes returned to the locker room after an underwhelming first period of play down 1-0. They knew they weren't playing acceptable hockey, but showed they were able to adjust.
When Carolina returned to the ice for the second period, they came out with an extra level of intensity. They skated faster, hit harder, and created a lot more offense than the first 20 minutes. The 'Canes concentrated on driving to the net and putting the puck on goal for the remainder of the game, and it led to a lot more scoring chances.
"We tried to find some way around to the net, which kept our shot total down," said head coach Paul Maurice about the first period. "We started doing a lot better job getting the puck to the net after the first."
Carolina's hard work paid off when captain Eric Staal tied the game 5:50 into the second period with his 33rd goal of the season. To the dismay of the hometown fans, that was the only time their team lit the lamp.
With Ryan Miller out due to an upper-body injury, the 'Canes faced 22-year-old netminder Jhonas Enroth. With only 11 career NHL games under his belt, Enroth came into Sunday's game with very little experience. Despite his immaturity, the Swedish native kept his team in the game by coming up big on multiple occasions, saving 35 of 36 shots faced.
"I think our poorest chance went in tonight, and our best stayed out," said Maurice. "A lot of credit goes to [Enroth]. He played a heck of a game."
Even though tonight's loss was devastating, the only thing the Hurricanes can do is move on.
"It seems in every [season] when you lose a game like this, it feels like the end," Maurice said. "But we can't let it be that way. We'll deal with that emotion tomorrow and get back on the horse."
While the final result was not what the Hurricanes wanted, they played well enough to earn the win. An unfortunate combination of stellar goaltending, missed opportunities, and bad luck prevented Carolina from coming away with a victory.
"There's a real feeling of disappointment after a loss like that, but not a feeling that we let one slip away," said Maurice. "We did what we were supposed to do."
"We gave ourselves the opportunity to win tonight. It could have easily gone the other way," said Ward. We have to keep on fighting the way we have. We have no choice but to win hockey games and regroup."
Since the Hurricanes gained a point in the standings tonight, they remain only two points back of the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres moved up to seventh (three points ahead of Carolina), while the Rangers fell to eighth.
"You strive to get two points, but any point this time of the year is huge," said Ward. "It's over now, and we have to be ready to move on."
The Hurricanes return to action on Wednesday when they face-off against the Central Division Champion Detroit Red Wings at the RBC Center.

Healthy & Satisfying Lunch Ideas for a Busy Teacher?
Good Questions
Q: This is my first year teaching, and my lunch period is early: 10:45 AM! I'd like to have two smaller meals (one at 10:45 and one when the kids leave at 3:00). Does anyone have any ideas for filling and healthy snacks that could serve as a two-part lunch?
Sent by Charlotte
Editor: Readers, what snacks and small meals would you recommend here?
Related: 15 Homemade Snacks for the Lunchbox
14 Comments
Why don't you just make a normal lunch and eat half early and half late?
I'm assuming you have access to a fridge? My favorite snack-for-a-meal is hummus, pita, and some assorted veggies (cucumbers, red pepper, olives, tomatoes). You can just graze on it until you're full, or you can make veggie sandwiches in the pitas. If there's a toaster where you can warm the pita, even better.
I eat this way by choice, with my first meal being something like a yogurt smoothie or something like the photo (fruit and peanut butter) and the second usually being a salad (hearty with beans, buts, or cheese added), a pasta, or a soup. Your needs will dictate whether you prefer the heartier meal to be first or second. Eating two halves of the same meal would get boring to me, and making one more of a snack (but include protein or whole grain to make it last) works well.
Hummus and carrots, peanut butter and apples, cheese cubes or string cheese, granola, plain Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts, banana bread with peanut or almond butter, rice or whole wheat crackers...etc. And I agree with the above comment - you could always make a whole sandwich, wrap, or salad and eat half early and half later.
Customized Granola Bars! Much healthier than store bought as well.
Here's the link.
I don't think it's that Kitchn readers "can't figure it out." It's helpful to get even simple ideas for things we do everyday. I'll never get tired of healthy snack ideas.
Teaching is draining, so make sure you're consuming enough calories (protein and fat, especially). Hummus, cheese, tortilla, salami, smoked salmon, pâté, nuts (if allowed in school), with a variety of veg, fresh herbs, and fruit.
I transitioned to teaching from business and one of the hardest things to acclimate to is the quick and early lunch. My running favorites include a toasted waffle with peanut butter and a half a banana, healthy crackers with ricotta or goat cheese and a bit of jelly or "savory" greek yogurt with a mixture of seeds, nuts and dried cranberries or cherries.
I second @welcomereality. My wife is a teacher with a late lunch period and a mid-morning prep, and she always eats half of her lunch during prep and the other half during lunch.
I eat this way by choice too. For the early lunch, I would do something breakfast-ish like crustless quiche (egg and vegetable baked on the weekend and squares cut all week for this meal).
Good luck on your first year of teaching! I come from a family of teachers so I know how exhausting the first year is...
Anyway, if it were me I would pack an entree (say, a sandwich) and some fruit and veggie sides. Then I would eat the fruits and veggies first to make sure I got them in for the day! Then I would eat the entree later.
This may or may not help, but my midmorning snack is usually something easy to grab like cherry tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, cherries, babybel or polenguinho cheese.
You could thread cubes of fruits, veggies &cheese onto small skewers that are easy to snack on.
Bento recipes might work well, since there are tons of great ideas and its easy to split lunch into phases. One site I like is, http://justbento.com/
I'm also a teacher who usually has an early lunch and I'm always trying to improve my meal plans and snacks. One thing I can recommend having around is a big box of frosted shredded wheat. I take a handful for a snack whenever I need it. I like that it satisfies my craving for junk, but it isn't terrible for you. And when you're wiped out, you don't feel like making fancy snacks, so it's convenient.
I agree with the recommendation to split your lunch in half but also add some snacks such as apples and almonds. Good luck in your first year teaching!!

bunnybabie: yea the playful moon between Mamoru and Usagi will play a huge part later I'm sure, also if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them
JasMIaka: well I'm continuing as fast as I can and I will try to fulfill my promise to my readers to give them 2 chapters per update, and I'll try my very best to get them in by the end of this week.
Spaceman: uhh no idea what to say to you...eCookies huh? I'm good you can keep them =P
(((bold and italicized things are flashbacks and italics are thoughts)))
Last time on When Everything Goes Wrong:
"Not if I can help it" Seiya said when he walked up and grabbed Usagi "C'mon Usagi lets go" he said giving a scowl to the strange guy that was hitting on his girlfriend and started pulling her back to their seats
"Wait!" Usagi shouted while being dragged away "You never told me your name!"
"It's Mamoru" he said smiling at her.
Usagi's P.O.V.:
'Mamoru' Usagi repeated the name in her head yet again 'I wonder if I'll ever see him again'
"Usagi, stay away from that guy! I don't like the look in his eyes!" Seiya warned her
Although she knew she should let Seiya believe that she's listening, Usagi couldn't get her mind off of Mamaru. He was so mysterious, yet she felt as though she could figure him out just by letting herself drown in those eyes. His beautiful sapphire eyes that -
"USAGI!" Seiya's voice interrupted her streams of compliments she thought fitting for his eyes "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!"
"Huh? oh yea sure what ever you say Seiya" Usagi said half-aware of what was going on
"So you'll avoid that guy?" Seiya said with disgust clearly lacing his words as though to ask her to stay away from a disgusting pig.
"That GUY's name happens to be MAMORU. And he was a perfect gentleman which you hardly are at the moment!" Usagi yelled at Seiya "Honestly Seiya, it was YOUR fault I even fell on the guy" 'although I didn't mind it one bit' she mentall added to herself. "If anything most people would be rude and pissed off to say the least for some girl to fall on them when they just happened to be walking by! And for that matter when I tell you not to even think about kissing me, mind you, heed my words. A girl's kisses are not yours to steal. I have half a mind right now to just go and sit with Mamoru. Atleast he's a gentleman!" Usagi said in her rage 'Actually I have a whole mind to sit with Mamoru, but I don't know if he'll appreciate the company...' she thought to herself
"Usagi...I-" Seiya started
"No, Seiya honestly I don't want to hear it, I'm going to take a nap" Usagi interrupted
Defeated Seiya put on his headphones and started watching the airline movie. An hour or so later he eventually drifted off to sleep.
"I wonder what he's doing right now? Maybe I should walk by and maybe start up a conversation with him? No, that'd be rude and maybe a little uncalled for." Usagi though outloud while contemplating ideas on how to confront Mamoru. "Perhaps I'll 'accidently' fall on him again. No...No! I can't do that he'd think that I'm a klutz. Oh what the heck! Who am I kidding, I don't even know where he sits!" Usagi sighed in frustration. "I guess there's no use and trying to find him I'd look desperate or stupid even. Mind as well get some sleep."
As the blonde fell asleep, a man chuckled to himself. 'All the little bunny had to do was look behind her and across the row one seat' he thought, laughing out loud, meanwhile gaining the attention of the passengers around him who were giving him peculiar stares. 'Oh great I'm talking to myself first of all, and now people think I'm a psycho. Could this flight possible get any more eventful?' he thought to himself. "Ha the only way this ride could get more eventful would be if a fight were to ensue" Mamoru said, not noticeing that he said that out loud he gained some more suspicious looks and bowed his head in embarassment. 'Once that little spit fire left things have gone haywire' he remarked to himself.
Mamoru's P.O.V.:
"Not if I can help it" that guy who he guessed to be Usagi's boyfriend spit out sending him a glare. 'The hell is wrong with that guy' Mamoru thought to himself as he felt his temper get out of hand when he saw that guy walk up and grab Usagi
"C'mon Usagi lets go" he said sending a scowl my way. 'Man that guy is strange' Mamoru thought. He was just about to dismiss the encounter with this sexy little bunny when he heard her scream out "Wait! You never told me your name!"
"It's Mamoru" he said smiling. 'Wow and here I thought she was just some klutzy blonde who wouldn't have noticed whether or not she found out my name until later' he thought
'I wonder if that guy controls her all the time' Mamoru asked himself, only to be answered by the guy in question
Usagi, stay away from that guy! I don't like the look in his eyes!" the guy warned the inattentive bunny
'Tsk Tsk she's gunna get scolded for not paying attention. I wonder what she's so deep in thought about' Mamoru wondered to himself
"USAGI! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!" the guy screamed at the seeminly unaware blonde
"Huh? oh yea sure what ever you say Seiya" Usagi said
'Obviously she wasn't listening, HA why should she listen to this Seiya guy any ways? I'm not a bad guy...and heyyy what look in my eyes, I'll have that little pop star wannabe know that my eyes don't have any particular look to them. Well other than sexy. It's not that I'm conceited or obsessed with myself, I have enough girls fawning over me to be conceited and obsessed for me' Mamoru thought, frowning at Seiya's words.
"So you'll avoid that guy?" Seiya asked
'Hey, I resent the hidden meaning in that! It's not like I'm some sort of disgusting pig. I swear that guy is possessive, what is he jealous of me? I hardly even spoke to the girl. Although if she were mine I would be possessive too. DAMN she's sexy, but in an innocent beautiful kind of way. Not a full-on physical dirty kind of sexy' he thought before tuning in on the suddenly fuming girl.
"That GUY's name happens to be MAMORU. And he was a perfect gentleman which you hardly are at the moment!" she practically screamed at him
'Wow, that girl is some spit fire, OW!' he thought 'Wait did I really jsut think that?! How humiliating, in my head or not I can still keep managing to embarass myself lately. Pityful, no?'
"Honestly Seiya, it was YOUR fault I even fell on the guy"
'Heyy now tiger, you know you enjoyed being on my lap, so don't blame it on him. He doesn't deserve the praise'
"If anything most people would be rude and pissed off to say the least for some girl to fall on them when they just happened to be walking by! And for that matter when I tell you not to even think about kissing me, mind you, heed my words. A girl's kisses are not yours to steal. I have half a mind right now to just go and sit with Mamoru. Atleast he's a gentleman!" she said totally engrossed in her rage
'Yea atleast I'm a gentleman, plus it's kinda hard to be rude when you have a blonde goddess on top of you'
"Usagi...I-" that Seiya guy started to apologize
"No, Seiya honestly I don't want to hear it, I'm going to take a nap" Usagi interrupted.
'Oh wow she told him off. He looks like he could crawl into a corner and cower if he could find one right now. And he stole kisses from her? How desperate and possessive could this guy get? No one touches my Usako like that. MY Usako? where did that come from? Usako, yea I like that. I will make you mine Usako, and when I do I promise to treat you better than that Justin Timberlake impersonator' Mamoru thought, making a mental vow to himself to get Usagi for himself.
(A/N: As you can tell I'm not much of a Seiya fan. Yea so I let him have his glory in the beginning of the story, but come on Mamoru is just too much of a sexy beast to leave out of a proper Sailor Moon romance. Plus what better couple is there in Sailor Moon other than Mamo-chan and Usako. Their pet names are just too cute for each other ^.^ Anyways I'll stop rambling now and get back to the story)
A/n: Ok so I know I promised to update 2 chapters everytime I update but I'm loaded with school work and I'm thin on ideas. Sorry about this really short chapter, but I got lazy and decided that was enough. Plus would you rather a long chapter in another week or a semi-short one a couple days later? Any ways, KEEP REVIEWING AND I'LL WORK HARDER ON GETTING CHAPTER 4 UP FOR YOU!!!!

Having been a part of this school, I can tell you that the disorganization and chaos you see from the outside does not even begin to compare to the mess and disunity within. Teacher's and staff are not given proper mentoring or guidance. There is a very low morale throughout the entire faculty community, and the Principal(s) as well as veteran teachers do very little to help the many newcomers. Needless to say, it provides for a tense environment for the students. Good luck J.D. Floyd...
I am totally disappointed in this school. I would never recommend anyone move into this school district. The academic programs do not teach the basics in reading or math it is some type of new math. The students do not have time to master anything before moving onto something else. This school year has been a nightmare and I am glad to be moving out of state.
The level of parent involvement at JD Floyd is poor, as PTA President we have 185 PTA members out of a student body of 1350. My son is in K - and his teachers Mrs. Barrett and Mrs. Laurai are the best that a parent could ask for, and they work together great.
After several years at JD floyd, I pulled my child out. When my child strated in 2000, the school was an 'A' schoo. In the last few years, the school has become overcrowed, Good teachers have left and are continuing to leave. The para-professonals grumble regarding administration and the teachers, a never ending cycle which breeds nothing but disrespect, contempt and discouragement among the adults. This, of course filters down to the children and the parents as we strugggle to get an understanding as to why the 'system' has started to break down. We also wonder why the county school board did not have the vision to recognize that the continuing influx of young families with children would lead to overcrowed schools, lowered learning skills and discontented educators. It is sad that J D Floyd among, other elementary schools in Spring Hill (Hernando county) suffer due to lack of creativity.
Ihad two chidren in that sorry excuse for a school last year. Lets just say they are not there this year. They stole a year of my sons life,and he now will not graduate with his twin sister. Very bad school & principal,.
My daughter is in Pre K ESE in this school and I have to say so far they have been absolutely wonderful. When I go to pick her up she really doesn't want to leave and that to me speaks volumes. The teachers are caring, patient, and kind. I have to be honest at first I was worried as I have a child with special needs, but now I am completely confident in their abilities to teach my child.
I have two kids in this school, one in 3rd grade and one in Kindergarten. Teacher my son has now is good and so was the one he had in second grade. My daughters teacher I am not to crazy about. She doesn't communicate with the parents very well. The school is over crowded and I don't like the fact that the the auditorium and the cafeteria are all in one room. For Phys Ed. the kids have do go outside. It is not a fully enclosed school meaning the doors to the classrooms are outside the building as opposed to inside and there are several moblile units that they have to use as classrooms on the property. It does have an A rating which is why I moved into this area but I don't like the overcrowding.
Frankly overcrowded classroms are an issue. It is a good way to lose good quality teachers and we are already losing them right and left. Music? Art? Sports? Extremely limited!! Very low on the priority list at this school. The jury is still out on the Principle, But so far, most of the teachers, paras and other parents I speak with are extremely disatisfied. I myself have been less than impressed. However, One of the assistant principles, Ms Harts has been a blessing for those kids! The front office staff is less than friendly and obviously personality challenged. Those unhappy in their jobs, should find another one.
I agree that overcrowding is the biggest issue, But I attribute that to the Hernando County School Board which seems to push personal interests above the good of the children. My childrens teachers have been excellent and dedicated. However, many good teachers are leaving because of the lack of support from the county administration.
My daughter and I are very happy with the education she is receiving in the 3rd grade. We relocated from NYC so I was concerned at first about the education at Floyd but there was nothing to worry about. She is way above average and the teachers all challange her to do even better. Music and art are also just as great and important as academics, unfortunately there is no sports that I know of other than the YMCA onsite afterschool. The school grounds are bueatiful with lots of wild life and gardens. The only thing I would change would be the class size. Even with the classes as large as they are due to the constant growth in the area and the excellent reputation it holds the school is still top rated at 'A'.
the biggest challenge facing this school is the overcrowding issue.The administration of this school seems very caring and committed to their students. This would be an ideal school if it had half the number of students it currently has.
I am having problems with the science program at JD Flyod...tough situation when a child asks for help because they do not understand the subject and gets no help but only lectures. The Environmental Science project was to be a good thing....but if the children can not learn science what good is it going to be? One builds upon the other. Up until this year I was happy with the school overall.

Etiquette and Espionage (Finishing School #1)by Gail Carriger
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to Finishing School.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners — and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish... everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but the also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage — in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
Set in the same world as the Parasol Protectorate, this YA series debut is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor Gail's legions of fans have come to adore.
"Carriger's YA debut brings her mix of Victorian paranormal steampunk and winning heroines to a whole new audience...with cleverly Victorian methods of espionage, witty banter, lighthearted silliness, and a ship full of intriguingly quirky people." Booklist (starred review)
"Carriger deploys laugh-out-loud bon mots on nearly every page....Amid all the fun, the author works in commentary on race and class in a sparkling start to the Finishing School series." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[A] delightfully madcap espionage adventure." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"If spunky Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey happened onto a steampunk set, she might look a lot like Sophronia Angelina Temminnick." ShelfAwareness
"Blending intrigue and elements of the school story, Carriger introduces teen readers to a supernatural-meets-steampunk world full of action and wit." Horn Book
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to Finishing School.
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger makes her young adult debut with Ettiquette and Espionage, the first book in the Finishing School series.
About the Author
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She survived her early years by reading most of her local library and memorizing Greek battles. Eventually she escaped small-town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. In pursuit of further finishing, Ms. Carriger traveled the historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on the biscuits secreted in her handbag. The Finishing School series is Gail's first foray into young adult fiction. In it, she travels back to a time before the Parasol Protectorate, explaining the mysteries of this steampunk world and visiting a few old friends. Gail now resides in the Colonies, surrounded by fantastic shoes, where she insists on tea imported from London.

Property owners subject to an annual state fire protection fee may be billed later in the year than expected.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has asked the State Board of Equalization to postpone the billing for fiscal 2012-13 while Cal Fire completes its review of appeals filed by property owners.
Under a state law passed in 2011, approximately 800,000 owners of habitable structures within the state's responsibility area the area in which the state of California is financially responsible for prevention and suppression of wildfires are subject to the fire protection fee.
The first bills, for fiscal year 2011-12, were mailed between August and December 2012.
Of the approximately 800,000 property owners billed, about 87,000 filed appeals or requests for redetermination, said Daniel Berlant, Cal Fire spokesman, explaining that each of those requests must be reviewed.
About 71 percent of the appeals were denied because they involved issues that Cal Fire has no statutory basis to approve, Berlant said.
Approximately 12,000 appeals were approved, but "we still have hundreds if not thousands to go through," he said.
Although the majority of cases are fairly cut and dried, Berlant said, others require research or a review of documents if, for example, the issue is whether the structure billed for is a home or whether the person billed is the owner. "We're committed to making sure that we're as accurate as possible," Berlant said.
Cal Fire has never informed property owners that billing would occur at a specific time, although the intent was to mail bills during the spring or summer, he said.
Although property owners within the state's responsibility area may be required to pay a fee of as much as $150 per habitable structure, those that are within the boundaries of a local fire protection agency receive a $35 reduction.
Berlant said 97 percent of the 800,000 property owners subject to the fee qualify for the reduction, paying $115 per year.

Sorry but if Varian is a Gary Stu WTF is Thrall ?
dead parents ? check
dead love interest ? check
seriously, name one mistake the blue eyed boy has ever made that isn't explained away 'out of his hands' in some form...
i'll agree with you on one thing: it's badly written tripe
all 'the lore' is.
it's put together and governed by a comic book geek who didn't and doesn't have the talent to even get a job on a small independant comic label but somehow was simply lucky enough to get his foot in the door at a fledgling but talented sofware company by contributing art and 'blurb' to manuals just as the market was beginning to mature to the point it was deciding games needed storys beyond those couple of paragraphs and pictures.
thats what you are all talking about.
over extended 'blurb'.

From time to time, this recession sparks interesting developments.
AJC reporter Gertha Coffee takes a look at churches and concludes that the ones looking to expand into bigger facilities are in a buyer's market. They are getting good deals right now because of the downturn in commercial real estate.
But because of declining donations, some other churches are having trouble meeting their mortgage payments and are selling their buildings to downsize. Churches are the main buyers of other churches.
"One of the things that is a little bit different than a few years ago is more properties are on the market because of bank pressure and foreclosures," Matt Messier, of CNL Specialty Real Estate, told Coffee. "Churches are not immune to that issue."
To make some deals works, sellers have been using creative financing to help buyers purchase churches, said Dan Simpson, managing broker at America's Network Realty Group in Dunwoody. That's because traditional mortgages have been more difficult to come by.

Let the churches pray for free but if they own property it have to pay property taxes and if they take in cash it should pay income taxes. Why should I have to pay additional fees to cover a money making venture because they get a free ride?

I don't necessarily have a problem with churches not paying taxes on their properties where they worship. I think that if you tax them only the richest would survive. I do think that if you have other property that is not a sanctuary or actual place of worship (e.g. baseball and soccer fields) then that should be taxed.

The only churches that "make money" with the few Ministers you see on national TV and they are supposed to pay taxes on what they receive. The typical church pays a minister a salary and he is to pay taxes on his earnings like anyone else. The other monies that is not used to pay the church mortgage ,pianist,youth minister and other paid staff. Any money left over is usually used for soup kitchens, programs for poor and homeless and other missions. Those of you who have attended a church know this to be true. I am sure there may be a 1% exception or abuse.
August 19th, 2009
3:21 pm
I don't know what planet some of you are living on but I have found that the majority of the "big" churches have no soup kitchens, nor do they care about the average guy. One church that is a "big" church that does do charitable acts is Hopewell Baptist Church in Norcross. It is your little churches, barely scraping by, that honestly and truly are trying to help and usually find a way to help, people. So before judging others, take a good look at your church and what they are actually doing; not what they pay lip service to.

Where I go to church the pastor and asst. pastor make a decent salary, $80,000 and $65,000, respectively, which is taxed. BUT, they also each get a $28,000 housing allowance…….that is tax free! Our church is looking at ways to cut back since donations and attendance have declined. I'm sure they'll be looking at the janitor or office staff but not at the top salaries earners. Church has become a business.
August 19th, 2009

Well I used to be in Church almost everytime the doors were opened. I agree with unimpressed. Alot of area Pastor's and there wives and children live pretty good lives. Come on Church people get your heads out of the sand, your pastor just has you fooled. Jesus said " In my Kingdom the last shall be first and the first shall be last". In your Pastors Kingdom your last. Wake up Jesus People!!! Your Pastors are human they need to be held accountable, and if your Pastors makes alot of money and you let him " Shame on you". If he goes somewhere else, let him go. Again, Wake Up Church!!!

Once the government has fixed all those who REALLY should be paying taxes that aren't (illegals/CEO's with their golden parachutes) then the government could look at this (not that I think churches should). However, as long as we have folks unofficially living here but not contributing in any way, shape or form…and on top of that syphoning off what the government will give them…or the CEOs that take companies into the toilet or cheat the tax system, then this shouldn't even be an issue.

I work for a church. We have seen contributions struggle because people are struggling. So, instead of making people feel guilty, we are offering Dave Ramsey's FPU class. Our hope is that if people can get their finances straight, they will have the ability to give and the desire as well.
August 19th, 2009
4:33 pm
Church worker – Dave Ramsy's class is really good and that's a great thing for the church to do. My question is really, why will the church committees cut everywhere, EXCEPT the pastor's salary and housing allowances? Our church would fire the janitor before it asked the pastors to take a salary cut, no matter how small! A couple of office workers make $3000 more than their housing allowances.

Lest we continue to respond out of ignorance, Churches are not the only organizations that do not pay property or income taxes. This is a specific allowance granted by the IRS to non-profit organizations who are classified as a 501(c)(3). This also includes schools, hospitals and other like organizations. These organizations must also meet the criteria to then be designated as "tax-exempt" based upon their purpose (e.g., charitable, religious, scientific, literary, and/or educational). So it is important to note that this is not a special privilege given only to churches. Unfortunately, most people's information of what churches are doing from a charitable standpoint comes from the news media when they want to run a sensational story about someone in small minority who abuse a privilege. The vast majority of the good works that churches do (as well as schools, hospitals and other charities) never make their way into media publications because they are not sensational to the general public and are not "newsworthy".

DeeDee, you are right that leadership can set a tone. I would rather take a 10% cut or whatever, and keep staff. It builds morale and shows your people that they matter to you. I also agree that most churches waste a ton of money on non-essentials that could be cleaned up instead of just getting rid of staff. I have seen what happens when a church goes the quicker route of getting rid of administrative staff instead of digging in and getting rid of pork. When the staff was let go, those responsibilities were passed to other people who were now working 10+ extra hours a week with no more compensation, while grieving the loss of a co-worker. It is very bad for morale. Now, if we the pastors had set a tone with pay cuts, we could have kept the staff. Or if we had looked at all the wasted money, we could have kept the staff.
August 19th, 2009
5:56 pm
Housing allowances are only tax exempt for income tax purposes. Ministers are considered self-employed for some IRS regulations and the housing allowance falls into this category. Ministers must pay a self-employment tax on the portion of their compensation package that is designated as a housing allowance. As for pay cuts, most churches have an employment contract with the minister and therefore can not cut their pay since it is contractual. I know of many ministers, including myself, who will usually give up usage of other things in their compensation packages to help out in financially tough times. These things include book allowances, travel, tuition for continuing education classes, conventions expenses, expenses for representation at denominational meetings for which there is travel and several other types of compensation benefits. Depending on the church and the minister, these may be done quietly without the fanfare and might not be known to everyone.

I have a beautiful church on in Duluth near I-85 for sale and we have reduced it significantly to attract attention. It is in great condition on 10.3 acres at the lighted intersection of Duluth Hwy and Boggs Road. This Church is really priced to sell.

Nice, informative posts KIR. I'm never amazed but always disappointed by people who come out of the woodwork to take a shot at churches, Christians, and religious people in general. Give them an anonymous blog and they are instantly acclaimed theologians, economists, historians, tax accountants, and experts in human behavior.
You people should devote your attention to self examination first (and that should keep you occupied a while). Next, look at your government and the people who are supposed to serve your needs and be good stewards of your tax dollars.
Church attendance, tithing, and even entry into heaven are all voluntary activities.
