AP Taps Auburn's Gus Malzahn As "Coach Of The Year"
Congratulations to Auburn coach Gus Malzahn – he's been named the Associated Press' "Coach of the Year". Malzahn received the honor Monday after directing one of the biggest turnarounds in college football history.
Duke Has Tall Task Trying To Defend Benjamin
If the Duke Blue Devils have any hopes of slowing down the Florida State Seminoles offensive juggernaut; the Dukies have to find a way to solve the tall task of slowing down FSU receiver Kelvin Benjamin.
Florida State Ranked No. 1 For First Time Since 2000
Florida State was voted the No. 1 team in the FBS Sunday for the first time since Oct. 1, 2000. The Seminoles are heavily favored against Duke in the upcoming Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and are 60 minutes from a berth in the BCS title game.
Blue Devils & Canes Football Headed In Right Direction
When the final seconds of Duke's upset victory of the Miami Hurricanes ticked off the clock Saturday night, it showed how far Blue Devils head coach David Cutcliffe had brought his team and how far Al Golden still has to go to get the Canes back to the top.
Miami Notches 3rd Straight Loss
iami couldn't stop Duke's running game. And once the Blue Devils started scoring, the 24th-ranked Hurricanes' offense couldn't keep up.
Miami Versus Duke Game Preview
When Miami was off to its unbeaten start, Hurricanes coach Al Golden made it very clear that the process of turning the team back into a contender was far from over.
Big Week For ACC Teams, Three Teams In Top 10
This is a big week for Atlantic Coast Conference football and league members from top to bottom hope to benefit.
Duke Johnson Named ACC Rookie Of The Year
Freshman Miami Hurricanes running back Duke Johnson has been named the ACC's Rookie of the Year for 2012 while Duke head coach took home the conference's coach of the year honors Tuesday.
With No Bowl, UM Wraps Season At Duke
It's another regular-season finale at Duke, which means this is the last game for a team that isn't going to a bowl. Except that this time, it's Miami that will be home for the holidays.
Noles Take Duke, 41-16
Jimbo Fisher liked how his Florida State players worked through a week of practice following a third straight loss. Then his Seminoles stopped their skid with a performance they hope will be the first step in taking back control of their season.

Struggling to beat the NBA's top teams all season, the Chicago Bulls earned a big 96-89 victory of the rival Miami Heat on the road Friday night.
One of the more frustrating things about the Chicago Bulls this season has been their inconsistency. From one night to the next, you're never really sure which team will show up.

Brownies could never truly be called health food. But Purple Puree, developed by "The Sneaky Chef" author Missy Chase Lapine, gives them a little less fat and a bit more nutrition.
Heat the oven to 350º. Lightly butter a 9- by 9-inch cake pan and dust it with flour. Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave at half power, then whisk until smooth.
Combine the sugars in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs. Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients on medium-high until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, the cooled chocolate, and the Purple Puree; mix on medium just until evenly blended.
Sift the flour and salt into a medium-size bowl, then stir them into the chocolate mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Stir in the nuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon.
Bake the brownies in the center of the oven until they rise and the top has a thin, brittle crust, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to let the brownies cool. Makes 16 brownies.

This picture taken by a witness shows passengers evacuating Southwest Airlines Flight 345 after landing gear collapsed at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on July 22, 2013. / Matthew J Friedman and Frank Ferramosca
NEW YORK (AP) - Officials say the nose wheel of a Southwest Airlines flight landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport collapsed right after the aircraft touched down on the runway.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says 10 passengers were treated at the scene Monday night, with six being taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The six crew members were taken to another hospital for observation.
Dallas-based Southwest says there were 150 people on the flight, while the Port Authority says it was 149.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Flight 345 from Nashville, Tenn., landed at 5:45 p.m., and came safely to a stop at the edge of the runway. The nose of the Boeing 737 could be seen on the ground.

Only True 64-bit Virtual Private Servers Bring Itanium Within Reach of Software Developers, Enterprise IT Administrators, and Mass Market Hosting Service Providers
S. San Francisco, Calif., March 31, 2003 — SWsoft, Inc., a leader in hosting automation and enterprise server software, today announced the general availability of a 64-bit version of Virtuozzo for Itanium, bringing mainframe-like partitioning to Intel's next generation architecture. For the first time, technical enthusiasts, software developers, IT migration planners, and scientific computing administrators, can get low-cost access to true 64-bit Virtual Private Servers (VPS), each with the exact same functionality as a dedicated Itanium server.
The benefits of Intel's Itanium architecture make it affordable to a much wider range of IT budgets; benefits include support for huge addressable memory, faster floating point number-crunching, and improved parallel processor performance due to new support for the Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture. Each VPS comes with full Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees and the ability to automatically scale to the full server based on resource requirements.
"Sixty-four-bit Virtuozzo for Itanium brings the benefits of the Itanium architecture within the reach of the average buyer in hosting datacenters and enterprise IT groups," stated Serguei Beloussov, CEO for SWsoft. "People are playing around with Itanium servers to test out demand. A Hosting provider can buy a single Itanium server, create hundreds of 64-bit Virtuozzo VPS on the server, and market the 64-bit VPS to technical enthusiasts and software developers at affordable prices. IT managers can buy a couple of Itanium servers and create dozens of VPS for each internal development group, plan their 64-bit migration path and help their IT staff to gain experience with 64-bit scalability and porting issues."
"My analysis shows that the demand for mass market hosting services increases dramatically when the service price is below $100 per month," says Joshua Beil, Vice President for analyst firm Tier 1 Research (www.tier1Research.com). "Virtuozzo for Itanium allows hosting providers to offer 64-bit VPS hosting services below this price point, which makes it attractive to hobbyists, enthusiasts, and testers."
The new 64-bit version of Virtuozzo makes use of Itanium's huge virtual address space and very large physical address space, key considerations for enterprises and hosting service providers that maintain large database systems and similar applications. Although the currently popular Intel 32-bit servers are available with up to 64GB of memory, the 32-bit systems can only directly access 4GB at a time and rely on complex datastructures such as page tables that reside in the kernel's limited 1GB of memory. All this makes the 32-bit servers increasingly less efficient for servers with larger physical memory systems. Itanium 64-bit servers overcome these scalability problems.
"I looked at Virtuozzo for Itanium because a few sales inquiries came in from hobbyists and systems integrators who wanted to test 64-bit applications," says George J. Georgievsky, CEO for USonyx. "I'm allocating only $17,000 total budget to test the market for 64-bit VPS with an HP rx2600 Itanium server running 300 VPS. I anticipate that this will be a great new revenue stream for me and by differentiating my hosting products from the competition, I can position my company as a leader in hosting technology innovation."
According to an Illuminata report by Jonathon Eunice, Itanium2 has leapfrogged the performance on the field. As of mid-2002, Itanium 2 outperformed MIPS, PA-RISC, SPARC64 GP and UltraSparc III. Stating that, as the Itanium family matures, it's going to give all of the alternatives more than a run for its money- it's going to give them a race for their lives. (1)

By Shelby O. Mitchell
What do a rhinoceros in the Bronx Zoo, a cow in Nebraska, and a horse in Texas have in common? It's no joke: They all scratch their backs on old street sweeper brushes , courtesy of a company called repurposedMATERIALS.
The Denver-based business specializes in salvaging old materials from municipal, industrial, and commercial sources, and finding creative new ways to reuse them. Since 2010, they've diverted more than 750,000 lbs. of waste from landfills across North America.
Founder Damon Carson takes pride in his reputation as a "professional Dumpster diver." His first foray into solid waste was as co-owner of a garbage company that served Colorado ski resort towns. After selling the company to Waste Management, he was inspired to try his hand at recycling when he saw thousands of yards of vinyl billboard canvases being thrown in a landfill. Carson salvaged the vinyls, resold them as industrial-strength tarps, and his new business was off and running.
In addition to saving the environment, repurposedMATERIALS helps save public works departments the time and cost of hauling away unwanted items. Depending on the type and quantity of materials, Carson determines the best way to take them — either by shipping or scheduling a pick up. Donors don't pay a thing, and materials are accepted "as is."
Two of Carson's most popular products already come from municipal sources. A street sweeper brush that's become a scratching post for rhinos at New York City's Bronx Zoo originally cleaned the streets of Fort Collins, Colo. And when the City of St. Louis donated 50 used brushes, half were bought as back scratchers by a cattle rancher in Nebraska.
Many public works departments have donated worn-out "rodder" or jet hoses . Even after the high-pressure hoses are no longer fit for cleaning sewer lines, they can handle agricultural work. Farmers have used them for everything from irrigating crops to filling in abandoned wells with grout.
The company offers guidelines to help determine whether to "S.A.V.E." used items: Standardization (are the materials uniform?); Availability (will the byproducts be available more than once?); Versatility (the more uses, the better); and Engineering (what are the properties and characteristics?).
If your product fits the bill, send a description (material, quantity, size, color, etc.) and photos if possible to firstname.lastname@example.com. Carson invites public works departments to contact him (303-478-6193) with ideas, and to help spread the word — he recently acquired decommissioned hoses from a fire department, and galvanized guy wire from a city's power and light division.
Repurposed items also help agencies meet requirements for purchasing environmentally preferred materials, often at a lower cost than other "green" products. "Our customers generally save 50% to 75% with our materials, versus buying something new," says Carson.
This is especially true with specialty items, such as snowplow blades and deflectors. A fleet manager can buy several feet of used conveyor belt — a common coal-mining byproduct — and cut it to length to reuse it as a plow blade deflector, or bolt several together for a cutting edge. "There is a do-it-yourself element with some of these materials," Carson says, "but the effort is minimal compared to the cost savings."
Popular items and uses for municipalities include:

You want a new career. You have untapped potential that you are itching to bring to a new employer if you could just get in front of the guy who does the hiring.
I'm here to help.
If you want to get in front of hiring managers, you need a resume that will stand out. You need someone with strong marketing skills to get you noticed. You need a killer resume!
I have several years of experience writing marketing copy and advertising and I know how to grab the attention of those hiring managers.
I can create a resume that will stand out among hundreds of others and get you the interview you need. Your resume is your personal commercial. It's your marketing piece. The main goal of your resume is not to tell what you've done in the past, it's to show what you can bring to the next company that hires you. And more importantly, it has to stand out so that these hiring managers, skimming through piles of resumes, stop and notice when they get to your resume.
Writing killer resumes isn't a job you leave to just anyone. You should let someone who knows their way around do the heavy lifting for you. You don't want to stress over having to create a resume when you don't have to. Let someone who knows how to market you do the work. I can create a killer resume that you will be proud to show to any hiring manager. And I can help you get the job you've been dreaming of.

Dwarf Fortress story The Queen is now available and you should listen to it
Thanks to its scope, Dwarf Fortress diaries trend towards being huge and epic undertakings. The Queen, by writer and game designer Ste Curran, is different, and it shows how dramatically the game's simulated stories can scale. It's touching and bittersweet. In fifteen minutes, it deftly encapsulates the drama, difficulty and abstraction at the heart of this frighteningly complex collection of ASCII. You should give it a listen.

of questions that FDA and ASA have been fielding about the shortages.
In addition to the Q&A section, the new web page contains a link to
the FDA's drug shortage website, to access the latest information on
individual drug shortages, as well as instructions on how to report
drug shortages or problems you or your pharmacy are experiencing in
obtaining certain medications.
The ASA is grateful to the FDA and its staff
for their ongoing efforts to address this important issue and provide
regular updates to ASA and its members. ASA encourages members to
continue to provide FDA with information about the drug shortages they
are experiencing in their practice. The more information you can
provide the FDA, the better equipped they will be to intervene and help
prevent further shortages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dana from Vibrant Colors! Let me begin by saying I love this rug! It's a great size for my bedroom, and the colors are vibrant and varied...some pale lavender, a good range of blues, neutrals and turquoise. Thus, it goes well with all of my bedding (purples, turquoise, browns..). Lots of texture and comfy to walk on...what more can you ask for?

Rated 5 out of 5 by CourtNoel from Beautiful rug! I bought this rug for the nursery for our twins and it exceeded my expectations! The colors in the online picture do not do it justice. Our main colors are gray and yellow, but I wanted to add some accents and this rug was perfect. I also wanted something with good texture, but not rough for when the twins start moving around and playing. I'm glad I found this one and after looking around, you can't beat the price for this quality!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Newmommy212 from Could not be happier! I bought this rug for my baby boy's nursery and I could not be happier with the product. It feels and appears to be well made as it is very thick and heavy. The different color blues ended up working out perfect for me as it assured the rug goes with everything i already have and can easily work with whatever we end up bring into the room. I see this rug being an essential piece to my little boys room for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lauraCT from Great Rug! We got this rug for our son's vintage nautical themed nursery. It is so perfect with all the colors of the sea and more beautiful than any other rugs we looked at...and we looked at a lot! We love the handmade look and feel and are so happy with our purchase. It arrived quickly and is a great value for the price as it looks more expensive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jreid from nice textured rug I bought this for my daughter's play room. While the colors are more vibrant and more pink than the photo, it is still a very nicely woven, comfortable underfoot rug.

Rated 5 out of 5 by conniejo1864 from In Love!!! I debated on this rug for over a month for my daughter's nursery. I finally took the plunge when I used a 10% off coupon along with free shipping promo. It arrived and I am completely ecstatic that I chose this rug. It is well-made, easy to clean and is just a happy piece to have in the room. I love the rug and couldn't be happier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by darlenedoyle from Beautiful quality rug LOVE this rug. Great quality at a reasonable price. I bought if my daughter's bedroom which is a mix of reds, pinks and lime green. It has a lot of colors, so it blends well with decor. It's soft, comfortable and pretty thick for sitting and playing on. Added bonus is that it's forgiving of spills and stains. Would definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jmsreich from Better than expected I bought this rug for my sons outer space themed nursery. I wanted everything about his nursery to be unique. When I finished his painting and furnishing his nursery, I thought I had everything I needed, but something was missing. I saw this one of a kind rug and thought it could tie everything together. I was right, because the rug was absolutely perfect and the photo doesn't do it justice! The rug is of excellent quality and I know it will hold up nicely. The shades of blue vary from every spectrum of blue with small additions of purples, grey, and some creams. If you were on the fence about the purchase, like I was, definitely go for it!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tracy112 from Lovely and durable. I bought this rug about six months ago for my daughter's room, and it's great. The colors are rich and lovely, and the fabric and stitching are comfortable and durable. It's only been a few months, as I said, but it's a definite plus that it looks brand new. It also doesn't show dirt, so it looks clean between vacuuming. I only wish this rug were available in a larger size.
Date published: 2013-08-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Story Time Rug We bought this rug to add to our baby's room as we are trying to stick to a blue and grey theme for colors. This rug has so many fun shades of blue in it and we loved the circle shape. This rug seems very high quality and was easy to vacuum without getting caught. I hope to create many story time memories on this rug with our new baby boy who is joining us this November.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HillsB from Perfect mix of comfort and colour We love this rug as an addition to my daughter's Madame Avery bedding décor. It is so soft that I let my six month old roll around on it. I was extremely happy with the price. I've looked at other similar rugs on other sites and they sell for much more and I'm sure are not nearly as soft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KeriLeigh from Darling Rug I purchased this rug for my daughter's room to go with the "May I Please (Plie)" bedding. It looks darling and adds so much color and vibrance to her room. She loves to dance on it and have tea parties. I could not be happier.

A former Upstate fire chief said he is battling the same flesh-eating bacteria that a Georgia student is suffering from after a zip-lining accident.
Aimee Copeland, 24, lost her left leg. She caught the disease after a homemade zip line injury earlier this month. Doctors are now saying she will likely lose her hands and remaining foot.
Her parents, who are both from Spartanburg, tell us Aimee is showing signs of recovery and they're staying optimistic.
Former Travelers Rest Fire Chief Glenn Pace said he is battling the same disease. It all began April 4 with an excruciating pain on his left foot.
"I took my shoe and sock off. I noticed my foot across the bridge was swollen and hot to touch," said Pace.
Pace said a few hours later it got worse and he came to St. Francis Emergency Room.
"They treated me with a couple bags of antibiotics via IV and said get in touch with doctor the next day," he said.
But the next day was Good Friday, so he ended up back at the ER because the foot pain began to spread. That's when Pace said the doctors yelled, "Get him admitted now."
"My doctor saw that the bacteria had moved from my foot up to my knee," Pace said.
Pace said he was in a lot of pain. He spent 20 days at St. Francis undergoing three different surgeries and doctors were talking about amputating his left leg. But thankfully he didn't have to go that route.
It has been more than a month since this all began, and Pace and his doctors still don't know how he contracted this rare disease.
"There were really no open wounds that caused this happening. It started with my foot swelling," Pace said.
Right now, Pace said he's thankful he didn't lose his leg or worse, his life.
"By the grace of God, I am still here and I have my leg. I am thankful for that and my doctors," said Pace.

Yesterday evening I found a fanart site I "lost" a years ago. It is not only one of my favourite fanart styles in the world, what I really love the artist for is that s/he draws Thief Lord/Herr der Diebe fanart (also really wonderful Marauders/Harry Potter fanart, though!).
Herr der Diebe is a children's book written by Cornelia Funkeand I recommend it to everyone. Honestly. Even if you don't like her writing style in the Inkheart/-spell/-death or other books (it really unnerves me sometimes :'D). This book is just plain beautiful. I love the characters, the story, the overall topic and of course, the setting. (It takes place in Venice <3). I can't even remember how often I've read it.
Oh, and please don't watch the movie, read the book. It's the worst filmed version of a book I ever saw :'D.
The guy on the picture is Scipio, the Thief Lord, btw :3.

Marietta native and actor Robert Patrick says he's had a "fantastic year." Look at his resume for the past year: he has worked with Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood, Melissa McCarthy, Kevin Bacon and Billy Bob Thornton. That's awfully good company.
Patrick, who broke it big two decades ago as the cop who kept chasing Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 2," just taped three episodes of "True Blood," created by fellow Mariettan Alan Ball. He played Eastwood's boss in the Eastwood film "Trouble With the Curve," which was shot in Atlanta and came out in theaters last Friday.
And tonight, Sept. 27, he is part of an ensemble cast on ABC's new drama "Last Resort" featuring Emmy winner Andre Braugher.
In the show, a U.S. nuclear submarine receives orders to fire on Pakistan. Braugher's character is suspicious and defies the order. So the U.S. fires on its own submarine and the members of the sub hide out on a remote island.
It's created by the makes of "The Unit," a show he had previously worked on for CBS. And like "Lost," the show is shot in Hawaii.
"It's fantastic," Patrick said from the set last month. "I miss my wife and kids in Los Angeles. But it's a joy to be in Oahu."
Patrick plays the highest-ranking enlisted man on the boat. "The boat is my boat. The men are my men," he said. "I know the boat better than anybody. But when my captain disobeys the order, I have to do it and remind him it's treason. I'm that guy. I don't agree with it. I'm very adversarial. It's based on principle. I have a code."
The show, he said, "is more than just the fact we refused orders and ran off. There are so many layers to it. I think it's going to be interesting."
Atlanta is in Patrick's blood. Patrick recalls fishing at Lake Lanier as a child with his grandfather. "I remember my Little League field, my school, my church," he said. "I remember downtown Marietta Square. when I go back, I visit the square and walk around, go to the St. James' Episcopal Church. All my old houses are still there."
His father worked at Lockheed down the street and his mom raised five kids. Patrick recalls being at the first Braves game at Fulton County Stadium in 1966 with his father. "I can remember vividly the vibe of that day, one of my favorite memories," Patrick said. He also saw Hank Aaron's 500th home run. He remembers going on the field for fan appreciation day and get his picture taken with ballplayers.
"We have Super 8 movies of me next to Joe Torre, Hank Aaron and Rico Carty. It was a great thrill to play the general manager of the Braves as Clint Eastwood's boss" in 'Trouble With The Curve," he said. He felt honored to work with a legend like Eastwood. All his scenes were shot at Turner Field.
He was thrilled to film three films in 12 months in Atlanta by pure coincidence. (Thank Georgia tax credits!) Besides "Trouble with a Curve," he shot a Billy Bob Thornton/Kevin Bacon film "Jayne Mansfield's Car" (yet to be released) and the Melissa McCarthy film "Identity Theft," currently in production.
"I'm a skip tracer," he said. "I come after Melissa, who skipped out on debt and I chase her." In the Thornton/Bacon film, "I play Billy Bob's brother. Robert Duvall is our dad. It's wonderful, I gotta tell ya."
While he shot "Trouble With a Curve," the Braves were in spring training. So while shooting "Identity Theft," he found time to hit Turner Field for a game for the first time. "It happened to be the night they retired John Smoltz's number. It was so exciting to watch all the pageantry."

Nice article, RoHo. Never knew he was from the area. I have seen him in a lot of things lately, it seems, but I don't know if he'll ever top his performance in T2!

2:36 pm
When I watched Last Resort I knew I recognized Robert Patrick from somewhere. I missed the premiere because I was working at DISH when it aired, so I watched my Hopper DVR's recording with Auto-Hop this morning. Auto-Hop automatically skips all the commercials in recorded prime time shows from the four major networks, which saved me a lot of time. But I was too distracted to figure out where I'd seen Patrick before; it must have been in Terminator 2. I have to say I like him better in Last Resort, he plays the by-the-book Navy man really well.
September 28th, 2012

I remember him from Terminator 2 and X Files, but he's in a ton of other stuff. I had no idea he was from the area either. Nice interview!

I really liked the premiere but thought there were a few things that were a bit of a reach on this show. I will tune in though for future episodes. Robert Patrick's character to me had overtones of the Dr Zachary Smith character from "Lost in Space".

Right now a cool dude just entered the shop. Like a really cool dude. With cool tattoos, a cool hat, cool t-shirt. And green crocs.
Green crocs. Oh my godness. I feel bad for laughing, but people with dirty crocs on the street just make me laugh.
This week two people have called me "boy" and one asked me about my age, at work (thinking I was younger).
I don't really know how to react when someone says that I'm a boy.
I just stand there, like:
Well, today a girl came into the store ( I work in a regular store, but more like a "hippie" store, but we also sell a lot of incense, perfumed things, and we have a little "sex shop" cabinet) and the girl wanted me to introduce her in some sexual toys. I actually didn't use any of those that I am selling, but I don't wanna be pretentious, but I think I know a lot about it. Even if my sexual life it's death as mummies. I should be ashamed of myself?

Honestly, if ANY former student is complaining about Wakefield being a terrible school because they learned NOTHING! That's their own fault, i went to this school myself. I Actually paid attention, I am now currently taking Junior classes (I am a sophomore in HS) because Wakefield classes pushed me ahead! I have even earned over $5,550.00 for my college career. which when Wakefield closes, this program will no longer be available to students who would attend Wakefield if it did remain open. A student receives $50.00 for every A! As for graffiti, that's a problem everywhere, the school did get graffiti but was always cleaned within the week. Students complaining about bullying is a faulty reason, Students can IGNORE this! Besides, Drama and Bullying is EVERYWHERE not just Wakefield! The teachers were AMAZING, they were respectful to even the rude disrespectful students! The teachers always offer tutoring, and the curriculum was challenging but effective. Everything I learned is always being utilized for my classes at Pueblo HS. Schools just need students who will trust the educational process. More school spirit! More PRIDE in STUDENTS!!!! EDUCATION IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.
Wakefield is the only school in the state where students earn $50 for every A grade from 6th grade to 12th grade to use for college! My daughter earned over $5,000! The staff is very friendly, and the facility is magnificent! (You should check out their garden/greenhouse complex- I've never seen anything like it anywhere outside a university). They have a program where excellent former students come and mentor current students. It was a very nurturing environment for my kids.
I went to this school for 6th and 7th grade, it was horrible it was the worst 2 years of my life! I can honestly say that i did not learn anything during the time that i was there. Everyday kids would bring weed,cigarettes, n everything you could imagine. After all the bullying and drama that those kids started i never EVER wanted to go there again, so for 8th grade i switched schools and i had the best year of my life. i am now a freshman n i DO NOT attend pueblo 1 reason all those wakefield kids go there, so i go to sunnyside high school :) hope i helped everyone on a school not to choose for your child.
A terrible mistake was made when we chose this school for my child. School staff that are disrespectful of students and parents. An incident that violated my childs rights took place in the class room and when I addressed it with the District office I was told that it was none of my business what,if any consiquences the teacher received. Overall a very disappointing school if the student has issues that arise. The school would rather not have the child there than take any responsability and educate the child. A situation has arose for my child and seems to be dragging on months and still no satisfactory results benefiting my child.
i do not like this school allot of kids are so mean i do not recomend this school to other kids i hate it thers always something bad going on ther!!! o and ther wsa allot of garfiti on the walls every were one day and they say they got the kids under control jajaja ya rite they dont and next year i will be a 8th grader and i am defenitly not going to that school!!!!
My child goes to wakefield she loves it. There are many afterschool programs. She herself enrolled in the educational talent search program. They have 4 rotating classes for 6graders: art music cooking and vocational technology. They have tons of programs. Too many to recall. They have excellent teachers that call you to make sure if they can stay for tutoring or if there child can be a peer tutor.

Thiruketeeswaram is a pre-historic sacred kovil in Manthoddam situated in Mannar District about seven miles north of Mannar town. It is famous according to legends as the kovil where Ketu Bhagavan worshipped Lord Eeswaram. Hence this holy shrine acquired the name of Tiruketeeswaram.
According to Dr. Paul E. Peiris, an erudite scholar and historian, "long before the arrival of Vijaya (6th century B.C.) there was in Lanka five recognized 'Eeswararns' of Siva, which claimed and received adoration of all India. These were Tiruketheeswaram near Mahathitha, Munneswaram Thondeswaram, Tirukoneswaram and Naguleswaram.
The celebrated historian J.W. Bennet wrote (1843): "At Mantotte the antiquarian will find a field for research in the still extant remains of remote antiquity, amongst which are the vestiges of an immense tank (Giant Tank) arid the ruins of a former Hindu City, built of birch. The antiquity of the Hindus, by whom, I humbly presume, the island was originally peopled, and their civilization at the remotest period of history, are recognized by all the ancient Eastern Philosophers."
Another well-known historian, Cassie Chetty, had this to say: "Manthoddam was a center of international trade. Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Arabs, Ethiopians, Persians, Chinese, Japanese, Burmese and others vied with each other at various times to monopolise the trade of North Ceylon."
B.J. Perera, a reputed historian, wrote: "Although Mahathitha (Mathoddam) is first mentioned in connection with the landing of Vijaya's second wife, a royal princess from the Pandyan Kingdom, there is no doubt that it was used as port by the Tamils long before the Aryan settlement in Ceylon. The existence of the Temple Tiruketheeswaram, the origin of which is not covered by existing records, is an indication of the antiquity of the port. Indeed Mahathitta is the only port in the Island which can be called a buried city. Mahathittha was a great port in the early centuries of the Christian era. Next we have the references in the Sangam literature of the Tamils describing Mahathitta as a great port."
|Tiruketeeswaram temple in 1958.
Hugh Neville, another well-known researcher, said in 1887 on the illustrious city of Mathoddam a follows: "A renowned shrine grew into repute there dedicated to one Supreme God symbolized by a single stone, and in later times restored by Vijaya, a Saivaite after lying long in ruins. The temple was dedicate as Tiru - Kethes - Waram."
This kovil, dedicated to the worship of the Supreme God Siva, has been the most venerated temple for centuries. This Temple and the holy waters of the Palavi Tank by its side are venerated in the sacred hymns of the two foremost Saiva saints Tirugnana Sampantar and Sundarar who lived in the 7th and 8th centuries respectively.
This great temple was completely destroyed by the Portuguese in the 16th century and the very stones of this Temple were used by them to build the fort at Mannar, the churches and also the Hammershield Fort at Kayts.
Sri la Sri Arumuga Navalar, who was responsible for renaissance of Saivaism in Sri Lanka in the nineteenth century, made the Hindus realize that they were duty bound to rebuild this historic temple. Following his appeal made in 1872, the exact location of the destroyed temple was traced and a land in extent of about 40 acres was purchased by Nattucoddai Chettiars on 13th December, 1893 at an auction held at Jaffna Kachcheri and some restoration work was done in the early part of the 20th century.
In fact, a small temple was re-consecrated on 28th June 1903. The central shrine which exists today was reconstructed and re-consecrated in about 1921 by the Hindu public servants working in Mannar and it was then that the Talaimannar railway line was constructed. It is also said that with the passage of time the management of the temple passed into the hands of the Nattucoddai Chettiars of Colombo who maintained the temple for a few years. However on 28th October 1948 an intensive agitation resulted in the formation of Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society, which repaired the temple and had the Mahakumbhabhishekam performed in August 1952.
The reconstruction of the temple reminiscent of the glory of its original position was planned by the Restoration Society with the advice of savants and sthapatis learned in the art of temple construction, according to the shastras with the foundation for it laid on 28th November, 1953. Nattucoddai Chettiars formally entrusted the temple to the Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society on the 14th September, 1956. The Mahakumbhabhishekam of the renovated temple was held on the 31st October 1960. It was the first phase of reconstruction.
Further renovations were done by the Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society. Another Mahakumbhabhishekam was held on the 4th July 1976.
The work for the next phase with granite work for the second phase commenced at the School of Architecture and Sculpture in Mahamalepuram in South India. While these preparations were in progress the Sri Lanka Army took over the Temple and its environs in August 1990 and continued to occupy the same for several years. Although they have left the temple premises, their occupation of its environs is a cause of concern to the Restoration Society, which has been urging the Government to remove the armed forces completely from the environs of the temple and declare the temple arid its environs as a sacred area.
It is in this background that the Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society representing the Hindus of our country in performance of its noble task and duty has accelerated the restoration work and plans to have the Mahakumbhabhiskeham in April/May 2003. Several millions of rupees are required to restore the temple to its original glory. It is the duty of each and every Hindu to generously assist the Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society in this task.
We therefore appeal to all of you to join us and perform this noble obligation.
May Tiruketheeswara Peruman bless you all.
Tiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society

Though I agree with you about Magneto I wasn't really talking about him, but the set up of the fight in Mainstream. I've already stated several my issues with it. (I also just can't see Todd or Fred teaming up with Duncan) Personally I think that would of been a good episode to introduce another mutant team like the Nasty Boys or the Hellions-and by extension their bosses (Sinister/Hellfire Club). Basically giving Xavier and Magneto a message "Thanks a lot for blowing the Masquerade" to show that there are other players out there and that they weren't happy.

Join the Hive; we have cookiesHuh. Judging from the covers, the new Nova book kinda looks like it'll be some sort of cute coming-of-age story, of course I imagine if anyone could insert scenes of, say, someone being anally violated with their own intestines into such a story, it would be Jeph Loeb. I also suspect this new Nova is something of an insertion of Loeb's dead son. They're both called Sam.
Yeah that's what a lot of people think. They also think that he came from the last place Dick was aka the Cancerverse which is Sam is based on Sam Loeb would be darkly ironic.
Okay I don't follow comics all that much-but when did Toad start looking like a fat version of his Ultimate Counterpart? Assuming the comic I just looked at was the 616 continuity. He was acting as the janitor at Wolverine's school.

Bieber My BallsCaptain Marvel continues to be awesome. Kieron Gillen continues to be one of the best comic writers ever. And X-Factor continues to be amazing. However, the other big book out today was the Marvel NOW! Point One issue. My thoughts on that: Bendis's short about Peter Quill losing his mother was well-written, even if it's covering old ground (I've actually read the comic featuring Quill's origin), and gives no indication what his Guardians of the Galaxy will be like. Of the five shorts in this book, this might be the least useful. It's good, but it doesn't tell us anything about Got G. Loeb had a short about the new Nova. I'm going to say something that will blow your mind: It's good. No, seriously, it's good. It's well-written and the new Nova seems interesting. Crazy, I know. I still have trouble believing it, but Loeb has actually written something legitimately good, for the first time in years. Insanity. It's raised my expectations for the new Nova series. Gillen's Young Avengers short has Kid Loki recruit Miss America through trickery. As always, I have no clue what Loki's game is, but as always, I'm desperate to see where it goes. Also notable: We get a reminder that, even though he looks like a child, Loki's still a god, and still stronger than any human. I am so, so excited for Young Avengers. Fraction and Allred's Ant-Man short was great. Wonderful writing, and Allred-ian art. I love Mike Allred's art. FF is looking very promising. Hopeless wrote a great, bizarre Forge short. It's fucked up in a wonderful way. Cable & X-Force looks like it'll be very good. And, finally, the framing device involving Fury, Jr. Man, it sucked. Nick Spencer probably can't really be blamed for that. No one could've made it anything less than shit. Even so, of the books this Point One is promoting, Secret Avengers is easily the least interesting. Maybe Spencer can turn a potential turd into gold, but honestly, I'm not expecting much. No disrespect to Spencer - I adored his Cloak & Dagger Spider-Island mini - but I just don't expect Secret Avengers to be particularly good.

gregyoSo, for all the Journey into Mystery readers out there, does anyone think it would be a good idea to create a subpage in Loki's page, for tropes that apply to Kid Loki? There's not much about him at the moment, and what little there is is muddled in with regular Loki.
359 Tiamatty, Fri, 19th Oct '12 1:04:57 PM Relationship Status: Brony
Bieber My BallsThat would definitely be a good idea. Kid Loki is a totally different character from adult Loki. They do share some traits - they're both tricksters who can't be trusted even when they're telling the truth - but they're still different characters.

Bieber My BallsThing is, Martin's interpretation is in line with Strange's early days. He had minimal interaction with other characters, aside from doing the occasional cameo, and prior to Defenders, did mostly stick to himself. Even with the Defenders, he mostly did his own thing in hi solo title. But don't worry, there's pretty much no chance Martin will end up writing Strange. He said he wanted a contract stating anything he does can't be retconned later. Marvel would never agree to that.

Still means that sort of thing in Marvel isn't entirely unprecedented.

Remender does like killing people, though. He actually overshot his estimate of eight deaths this year by one. So far he's killed Jamie Braddock, Scream, Hybrid, Fantomex, Death Adder, Gateway, Megatak, John Steele, and Eddie freaking Brock. And that's being generous and not counting alternate realities (Sinister Iceman), off-panel deaths (the first Toxin), people brought back just to die again (Mar-Vell, Bennett Brant), or Eric O'Grady, who died but then Came Back Wrong as a Descendant.

A Good Toy Guitar
Good Questions
Q: I'm on the hunt for a children's acoustic guitar for my 3-year-old who is absolutely in love with guitars. Neither his father or I play, so it is definitely intended to be more of a toy than a functioning musical instrument; however, I woud like it to look real, play actual notes (even if out of tune) and be reasonably sturdy. Do you or your readers have any suggestions?
Sent by Heidi
Editor: Most of the toy guitars I read about get poor or mixed reviews from parents for being too flimsy or junky. The guitar pictured ($20) is sized for toddlers (23") and can be tuned but I can't give a personal recommendation. Any readers out there who can offer a first-hand account of your child's toy guitar?
• Got a question? Email yours with pic attachments here with the subject line: Good Question. (Those with an image get published first.)

Would a ukulele be alright? You can get much more functional sound from a cheap uke than a cheap guitar. My children each have one of the brightly colored Mahalo ukes.
Was also going to suggest a Mahalo uke. We have a pink one and it's a hit!
We bought this one from World Market for $20
You can use one of their ad or member coupons and get it for less. We did that last year and bought our toddler son a guitar and an accordion. They are both pretty sturdy, but a note about the guitar, to tighten the strings, use a screw driver to tighten the knobs on the back of the handles (it took us a while last Christmas morning to figure it out since it didn't come with directions).
I agree with what some_myrrh said. A Ukelele is just the right size for a kid, and "functional sound" is right -- the 4 strings on a Ukelele are tuned to notes that are actually pleasant to hear strummed without fingering (whereas, a guitar's 6 strings are not so much). Mahalo makes some cute ukeleles.
We got our daughter a guitar at Target. (its her size and has a picture of spongebob rocking the h*ll out on the front.) It actually plays decently for the price, and has lasted for 2 years now. My husband plays, so he tunes it for her. I want to say it was less than $30...totally worth the investment.
we also have a mahalo ukelele and our son loves it!
Many versions on Amazon are $20 or less -- are you looking for less than that? Saw $20 one recently at Ross.
we also got the mahalo ukelele (20 bucks on amazon). it came with thick plastic strings which has been nice for my toddlers fingers. even came in a little case. highly recommend!
We bought our 2.5 yr old a first act guitar which was 2 yrs ago this December and it is still going strong, it is a little big but he wanted the real thing as he outgrew his little tykes electric guitar. Toys r us had really good sales for Black Friday that year.
But the ukelele sounds like a hit with a lot of kids also.
What about a toy electric guitar? My husband plays an electric guitar and sometimes my daughter likes to pick up the guitar from Rock Band, but it doesn't make sound when you hit the buttons. I'd like a toy electric guitar that looks pretty real (not some weird cartoon, bright colored thing), but has buttons and things that make noise, so clearly a toy.
My daughter loves to play the banjo... makes a nice sound when strumming. She also likes the mandolin. But since my husband has a recording studio of music instruments, she has been playing a long time. I would mention that buying a decent tuner would be key to tuning correctly. And you don't have to use a standard tuning. My husband tunes his strings oddly, but so that they naturally have a beautiful arpeggio .
The Mahalo uke is a good bet, we've had two for a few years.
If you want a guitar, go for the First Act acoustical ones. But, plan to open boxes and look at them, their quality control is all over the map. Generally, the ones that look like natural wood seem to be made much better than the painted ones (character and otherwise). It's definitely a purchase that I'd make in store with the time to look them over, rather than online. We were shocked when we opened the boxes and saw the difference between the individual guitars.
My son got a guitar for his second birthday and has been playing strong for a year on it. It is a Schoenhut 30" acoustic and is about $35 on Amazon. He broke his first string recently and the people at the guitar store said to put nylon strings on it. (it comes with steel) Also, the greatest thing ever is to tune it to an open chord if you have any musician friends. That way it's actually enjoyable to listen to for hours.
my 3 yr old has this one that we got her for christmas last year. she absolutely loves it. sounds great even when it's not perfectly tuned. it's also the perfect size for her and it was about $30 at target.
woops, forgot the link:
We bought this guitar for our son who is 3. My husband is a musician and was picky about what kind of guitar we got him, but we also didn't want to spend a fortune because it might get broken.
We also have the Mahalo ukulele which is a great size for a 3 year old and comes in some amazing colours. We have bought this ukulele for birthday presents too and it is always a big hit.
Thank you so much - this is exactly what I needed. Off to amazon to check out those mahalo ukeleles!
I'll agree on the uke. We have a lot of guitars (or as he calls them "bars" for my 14 month old). We bought them all at goodwill for 7-8 bucks and he destroys them - but loves them. The uke is the only one that doesn't sound HORRIBLE out of tune or strummed over and over again with no chords.
we got a first act acoustical for my then 3 yr old son. it was blue. It was cheap. It's still going strong and my brother (who is a professional guitar player) plays it when he comes up here (after putting new strings on it and tuning it) and it sounds like a real guitar.
@hhb: If you're using a guitar that was designed for steel strings (acoustic), nylon can damage the tuning knobs.
If it was designed for Nylon (classical guitar) and steel is being used, the tuning knobs can snap and the bridge - piece that holds the strings on the bottom - can rip off.
The easiest way to tell the difference, classical guitar heads have nylon strings that go inside/through the head of the guitar and turn front to back, while acoustic have steel strings that sit on top and turn side to side on the head of the guitar.
If comfort is the issue, light steel might be best (sorry, this is what happens with I worked with a guy who restored guitars). If the strings are properly stretched during installation, they will hold their tune much better as well.

5 Characteristics of Great Company Names
Short Is Sweet
What do Nike, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Dreamworks, Pixar, and eBay have in common? Yes, they're all very successful companies, but they're also only two syllables. Studies show that brevity lends itself to memorability, so companies are wise to choose short and punchy names that won't be easily forgotten by consumers. While some may claim name puns or phrase names can be fun, often times, it's a disadvantage. Company names like "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad Computer World," are not only difficult to remember correctly, but they're also names that customers don't want to repeat to their friends.
