(Legacy Team)
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tuesday, September 30th:
For periods one, two and four, we will be working on a unit on autobiography these next two weeks, first reading, then writing our own biography. Students will also create a PowerPoint or a Prezi presentation to present important events from their lives. We will begin drafting the autobiographies next week, and we will be in the computer lab next week to type them and create our digital presentation.
For vocabulary, 1st, 2nd, and 4th periods will have a quiz on Friday over their respective units. 1st and 4th periods will need to turn in note cards Friday as well.
3rd period will also work on the autobiography unit over the next two weeks. They will have a quiz on Thursday over their current vocabulary unit.
In Cross Country news, the NBMS boys and girls teams placed 5th out of eight teams at the mid-season all-conference meet. Congrats to individual runners, all of whom continue to make improvements from week to week!
Tuesday, September 2nd -
Today, we will be continuing our study of fiction, particularly character, point of view, and character motivation. We will be reading the short story, "The Treasure of Lemon Brown," by Walter Dean Myers. We will also study grammar through Everyday Edits and vocabulary, studying Latin/Greek roots and stems.
Cross Country - I will post the meet schedule soon for Cross Country. Meets will be held on Mondays for the next six weeks.
Thursday, August 21st
Welcome to a new school year! I will be updating this page more in the coming days.
For Language Arts, an information sheet has been sent home describing the class and the rules/policies. The only supplies needed for now are a notebook, folder/binder, and a writing utensil.
For those interested in Cross Country, we will have a meeting today after school from 3-330 in my room, 511. Practice begins Monday - we will practice from 3-4:15 each day; I am not yet sure of the meet days yet.
Monday, March 24th
For 1st, 2nd, and 3rd periods, rough drafts of your "Long Night of Little Boats" essays are due Wednesday first thing. I will check these while you take your vocabulary quiz over the "Act" words (which will also be Wednesday).
As mentioned, vocabulary quiz over the "Act" words Wednesday - there will be no word banks this time, so you will need to remember the definitions and/or (preferably) know the parts and how to put the words together.
We will work on final drafts of the essays Wednesday through Friday, but they need to be completed and turned in Friday by the end of class.
Monday, March 3rd
Students in 1st, 2nd and 5th (3rd) period classes need to complete their fable activities for Wednesday.
Progress Reports will be sent home Wednesday.
Thursday will be the high school visit as well as picture day.
Monday, December 16th
4th Period:
You are going to create a "trading card" for Ender from the novel Ender's Game. Click on the following link and follow the directions they provide you:
It should be self-explanatory, but let us know if you have questions.
For the picture, you will have to go to Google Images, right click and save a picture, then upload it to the trading card.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Periods:
In the lab today, we are going to research historical leaders mentioned in the novel Ender's Game. You should bring loose leaf paper, on which you will answer the following questions:
1. Which leader (Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon) did you choose?
2. What major accomplishments are they known for?
3. Were they known for any negative accomplishments or actions?
4. What were some of their positive traits or qualities?
5. Were there any negative traits or qualities?
6. How did their career/life end?
For this activity, Wikipedia should be avoided. You should be able to find plenty of information on websites like History.com, Biography.com or Britannica.com.
Monday, October 7th
"Message in a Bottle" projects are due today! For each day they are late, they will be 5% off. These are big grades, so make sure to get them in!
Tuesday, students will take the Explore Test. This will take about 2.5 hours.

Friday, we will begin working on our next unit on persuasion and persuasive techniques. More details to follow.
Monday, September 30th
Friday, October 11th, we will be traveling to the NC Arboretum for a field trip, to study freshwater ecology. Field trip permission slips are due Tuesday if a lunch from the cafeteria will be needed and Friday if students are bringing their own lunch. The fee of $10 is also due by Friday. The fee consists of the $8 the Arboretum charges per student and $2 for transportation expenses.
This week we are wrapping up our study of character and point of view. Students are working on the "Message in a Bottle" project for one of the three stories we have read so far. These will be due Thursday. We may have time Wednesday in class to work on them.
Tuesday we will take the Common Exam over character and point of view. All 8th grade students will take this exam, to test what they have learned in our current unit.
Thursday, 1st and 3rd periods will have a vocabulary quiz over our current SAT Word List. 2nd Period will have their quiz on Wednesday. We may have a grammar quiz on Friday.
Monday, September 23rd
This week we continue to study character and character traits. We are currently reading an excerpt from a biography on Harriet Tubman, identifying character traits and finding quotes that show the identified traits. We will take an assessment on character some time in the next week or so. After that, we will continue to study literary terms primarily through short fiction.
Monday, September 9th:
For 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (lunch) periods, there will be a vocabulary quiz over the SAT vocabulary words on Wednesday. Make sure you know the 10 words and their definitions.
If you have not yet turned in the SAT Vocabulary Assignment, the email to Laurie's parents from the story "Charles" or the TV Show Character Assignment, they need to be turned in right ASAP to receive credit.
This week, we will be wrapping up our short stories focused on character (traits). We will conduct a short unit on 9/11 starting Wednesday, and we will head to the library to begin working on a short project related to the two short stories we've read so far.
Thursday, September 5th, 2013
For Friday, 1st and 3rd (lunch) periods are to email or bring in a typed copy of the FINAL draft of the letter from Laurie's teacher to his parents. See details from September 4th below.
Also for tomorrow, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (lunch) periods need to finish the SAT Vocabulary List One assignment - it will be graded for completeness this time around, not correctness. Do your best!
September 4th, 2013
For my first and third (lunch) period classes: For the final draft of the email assignment related to the short story "Charles", you are to do one of the following by this FRIDAY, September 6th:

Check back for updates in the next few days!
Welcome back to school! My name is Aaron Jennings, and I am excited to begin my 4th year at North Buncombe Middle School teaching English Language Arts. I also coach Cross Country in the fall, so if you are interested in running this fall, let me know.
I moved to Asheville in 2010, and my wife LaShay (a Madison County native) and I were married in September of that year. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl Zoe into the world in October of 2011. I will update with a current picture soon.
I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, so I am a big Reds, Bearcats, Bengals fan! After studying Accounting for three years, I ultimately graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a B.A. in English Literature with a minor in History. I then attended Xavier University, where I earned a M.Ed. in Secondary Education. I taught in Ohio for one year, Kentucky for two years, and have taught for three years here at North Buncombe Middle School. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, hiking, biking, photography, music, playing the guitar, selling things on eBay, building things (when I have the time), and working on our house (a never ending process:)).
Zoe at five months

Actually, there's no really good place for this, but Off-Topic was an understandable choice as I imagine he didn't want to start a thread like this in the Community forum. While the post has little to really do with Guild Wars, it's rare for people to ever say thank you to anyone, so it's nice to see it.
Black, you don't decide what is and isn't useless, so don't post in like manner again. If you feel a post breaks any rules or isn't necessary, you know how to use the report post function.

hmmm things have slowed down quite a bit, not just here but with the fandom in general. so i think it's safe to say that our wondering, interpretations and cool theories are going to be put on hold for the time being. you can still send in your questions, they just wont be posted for a while. plus, school is kicking my ass this semester and it's only been a week. do you guys have any idea how hard it is to learn arabic? waah =/ so yea, continue to send things in, just dont anticipate seeing them for a while.
My name is Josh Hutcherson. I am nineteen years old. My home is Kentucky. I am in The Hunger Games movie franchise. I let the casting news escape. Lionsgate hates me.
This little girl's mother is currently in critical condition in the hospital due to Friday's shooting in Aurora, Colorado. She slips in and out of consciousness; her only words focus on her six-year-old daughter, Veronica. I feel terrible knowing that not only is this beautiful little girl dead, but that I know and her mother does not.
Rest in peace Veronica and the other 11 victims who were gunned down.
To the victims' families and survivors: I can only hope and pray that you find some sort of comfort in the coming years
Make me a counteroffer, Everdeen.

The NFC North has been one of the most competitive division in the NFL for the last three seasons with each team registering at least one 10 win season over that time. After successful offseason acquisitions through the draft and through free agency this season shouldn't be much different. This is one of the few divisions in the NFL where each team has a chance of winning the division.
Offseason Moves:
The Vikings acquired the Packers best wide receiver in free agency in Greg Jennings and added three players in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft in Sharrif Floyd, the best defensive tackle in the class on most boards, Xavier Rhodes, a big physical corner, and Cordarrelle Patterson. In the fifth round the Vikings added the best punter in the 2013 draft class in Jeff Locke. Locke will be able to turn the field for the Vikings, which is a huge asset for a team that already controls the tempo of most of the games they play in, because their elite running back Adrian Peterson.
Needless to say the Vikings have positioned themselves to compete and even win the NFC North. I rank the Vikings third in the NFC North for one reason, Christian Ponder.
Why The Vikings finish third in the NFC North:
The Vikings have a solid offensive line, a solid defensive line, an improved secondary, good receivers, but a very average quarterback with an average arm. With Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers in the division, I don't see the Vikings finishing ahead of either the Lions or Packers, even with Adrian Peterson in the backfield.
Christian Ponder is entering his third year in the leauge, typically a defining year for quarterbacks. If Ponder doesn't build on some of the flashes of talent we've seen from him the Vikings will take a step back this year and will have to start questioning if he is a franchise quarterback.
Why the Vikings will win the NFC North:
With Adrian Peterson in the backfield the Vikings are a threat to score every time he touches the ball. The Vikings filled just about every need they had this season through free agency and through the draft and gave Ponder more weapons along the outside, making life much easier on him and the running game. Anytime the Vikings hand Adrian Peterson the ball they have a chance to score. Not many teams have a player of his caliber which says something. The Vikings could be a very dangerous team this year.

Yoshi's Island 3DS has been announced!
A new Yoshi's Island game was announced at today's Nintendo Direct. No release date was given, but we did get a trailer for it:
I'm just going to say it: I don't like the way it looks. Don't get me wrong, it looks fun, but it seems like they're trying to blend Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island together and it all just forms this... unappealing mess that lacks the charm of the original, something the DS title suffered from as well.
Then again, i'm the guy who's been dying for a new Yoshi game, so I can't complain too much.

Repartitioning | Need to Understand My Present Partitions
I have a laptop I'm using for an imaging tutorial that I'm doing. It's a Lenovo Thinkpad L412. I would like to understand the present partitions before I repartition.
I have:
C: "Windows7_OS" 122GB free of 221 GB
E: "SYSTEM_DRV" 500mb free of 1.17GB
Q: "Lenovo_Recovery" 2.01GB free of 9.76GB
Q: is the Lenovo Recovery partition.
C: apparently has all the System / Windows files and all the data files
*Question: What is E: ?
It has folders
- preboot
- Recovery
- tvtos
Which means it looks like a recovery partition, however "Q" is apparently the recovery partition.
I would like one partition for System / Windows. And one partition for data.
I guess I could shrink the "C" drive, then create "D" partition and move my data files to "D".
Does that seem like a good plan?
|My System Specs
|08 Dec 2010
Win7 x 6 PC's
Is the System Drive marked Active? It may contain the boot-critical System files.
I would leave the two Lenovo partitions to be sure your Recovery will run from boot, make your Backup Disks following the steps in your Manual on the Support Downloads webpage for your model.
Then you can use Disk Management to shrink C as you propose and create a Data Partition: User Folders - Change Default Location
For those operations Disk Mgmt can't do, use free Partition Wizard bootable CD.
If you have any further questions please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Mgmt drive map using Snipping Tool in Start menu.

Viola Sonata, Op.11 No.4 (Hindemith, Paul)
It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Define what it is you truly want in life as an artist. Do not just follow behind others because you will always be behind them, Find your own way, do not worry about other peoples lives. You have your own journey to create. Create it for yourself. Learn about yourself and your true needs. Do you just want to work for someone else, or do you want to work for you and build your own brand. Take risks, learn from the failures, educate yourself on the business of art and follow your gut as much as possible. Try not to overwork yourself and enjoy the simplicities of life. Do what is natural for you.

8 Things Productive People Do During the Workday
1. Create a smaller to-do list.
Getting things accomplished during your workday shouldn't be about doing as much as possible in the sanctioned eight hours. It may be hard to swallow, but there's nothing productive about piling together a slew of tasks in the form of a checklist. Take a less-is-more approach to your to-do list by only focusing on accomplishing things that matter.
2. Take breaks.
You know that ache that fills your brain when you've been powering through tasks for several hours? This is due to your brain using up glucose. Too many people mistake this for a good feeling, rather than a signal to take a break. Go take a walk, grab something to eat, workout, or meditate – give your brain some resting time. Achieve more productivity during your workday by making a point to regularly clear your head. You'll come back recharged and ready to achieve greater efficiency.
3. Follow the 80/20 rule.
Did you know that only 20 percent of what you do each day produces 80 percent of your results? Eliminate the things that don't matter during your workday: they have a minimal effect on your overall productivity. For example, on a project, systematically remove tasks until you end up with the 20 percent that gets the 80 percent of results.
4. Start your day by focusing on yourself.
If you begin your morning by checking your email, it allows others to dictate what you accomplish. Set yourself in the right direction by ignoring your emails and taking the morning to focus on yourself, eat a good breakfast, meditate, or read the news.
5. Take on harder tasks earlier in the day.
Knock out your most challenging work when your brain is most fresh. Save your busy work – if you have any – for when your afternoon slump rolls in.
6. Pick up the phone.
The digital world has created poor communication habits. Email is a productivity killer and usually a distraction from tasks that actually matter. For example, people often copy multiple people on emails to get it off their plate – don't be a victim of this action. This distracts everyone else by creating noise against the tasks they're trying to accomplish and is a sign of laziness. If you receive an email where many people are CC'd, do everyone a favor by BCCing them on your reply. If your email chain goes beyond two replies, it's time to pick up the phone. Increase your productivity by scheduling a call.
7. Create a system.
If you know certain things are ruining your daily productivity, create a system for managing them. Do you check your emails throughout the day? Plan a morning, afternoon, and evening time slot for managing your email. Otherwise, you'll get distracted from accomplishing more important goals throughout the day.
8. Don't confuse productivity with laziness.
While no one likes admitting it, sheer laziness is the No. 1 contributor to lost productivity. In fact, a number of time-saving methods – take meetings and emails for example – are actually just ways to get out of doing real work. Place your focus on doing the things that matter most as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Remember, less is more when it comes to being productive during the workday.

Luke 10:17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!"
Remembering that, I think of the seventy disciples setting out with no bag and no sandals. Luke tells us they were like lambs in the midst of wolves. But they had one needful thing: Jesus. No wonder they returned full of joy! Because of their faith, they had learned that life in Christ vanquished even the demons of death.
It is a profound lesson to understand that all we need for our faith journey is the Spirit that enlivens all things. May we have the grace to carry the joyful news of God's kingdom to everyone we meet, so that when we come home, the Lord will welcome us as good and faithful servants.

About a hundred middle and high school students from the Twin Cities metro area gathered at the Solutions Not Suspensions summit at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota on May 11. They came to share their experiences with discipline procedures in their classrooms and to discuss how they think disciplinary action should be in their schools.
"We want to give them the tools that will allow them to have informed conversations with people in positions of power at their school about what the discipline at their school looks like and how to make it more equitable," said Brandon Royce-Diop of the Minnesota Minority Education Partnership (MMEP), who organized the event with his MMEP colleague Cymone Fuller.

Even if you believe in the folklore of Groundhog Day (the groundhog saw his shadow on February 2, which according to legend means there are six more weeks of winter – bah humbug!) you should still get in the mood to show off your gams and invest in a few dresses to take you through spring and summer. Since I am more of a jeans girl, you have to really convince me I can wear a dress on several occasions before I will pull the trigger. With this in mind, these six dresses above are my top picks for you and me this spring! I am all about color, color-blocking, and definitely prints – stripes are still huge! Consider the best shape for your body type when picking a dress instead of being swayed by a trend. I generally opt for a shift or fit-and-flare shape, but this season I am stepping out of my comfort zone a bit and going with body-con and figure-flattering shapes. That said, make sure you don't stray too far from your comfort zone because there is nothing worse than being exposed in a dress that you don't think flatters you. Another tip I want to part with is nothing should be too short, too tight and with too much going on all at the same time i.e. if the dress is on the shorter side, it should be on the looser side; if it is jeweled or beaded it should also probably be a little longer and/or looser. You definitely don't want to give off that street-walker vibe lol! Lastly, I recently got asked about wearing dresses in the office. Make sure it passes the "school-girl test" meaning it should be longer than where your finger-tips hit your thighs or use your discretion if it's a little too revealing at the neckline or when you sit down. Keep it classy ladies!
I would love to hear from you guys about your fashion or styling questions! Comment below or email me email@example.com!

Access Centre gets gaming grant
MLA Dan Ashton presented a BC gaming grant to the Penticton and Area Access Society, (Access Centre), on Friday.
The grant, in the amount of $170,000, will go toward services including resource and referral and disability advocacy.
"This is very exciting, and very important to us," said Elmie Saaltink, chair of the Access Centre.
The centre, formerly the Penticton and Area Women's Centre, provides legal advocacy for people with low income, PWD assessments, help with CPPD applications, information pamphlets and booklets, phone, computer and internet and personal care products.
One of the things, the grant helps with, in particular, is outreach in outlying areas including:
- Summerland
- the Penticton Indian Band reserve
- Oliver
- Osoyoos
- Keremeos.
"We have a drop in four afternoons a week in Penticton and then also do the outreach," said Saaltink.
Ashton said he felt wonderful being able to present the money on behalf of the province.
"They do a lot for those who require a little bit of extra help," he said. "I am glad we are able to make a big difference."

Theologian William Hamilton, a member of the Death of God movement of the 1960s that reached its peak with a Time magazine cover story, has died. He was 87.
Hamilton died Tuesday at his home in Portland, Ore., of complications from congestive heart failure, his family said.
The image of God as all-knowing and all-powerful couldn't be reconciled with human suffering, especially after the Holocaust, Hamilton said.
"I wrote out my two choices: 'God is not behind such radical evil, therefore he cannot be what we have traditionally meant by God' or 'God is behind everything, including the death camps — and therefore he is a killer.'"
He discovered that he no longer believed in an active God.
"The death of God is a metaphor," Hamilton said. "We needed to redefine Christianity as a possibility without the presence of God."
The idea was not a new one, said fellow radical theologian Thomas J.J. Altizer. Poet William Blake and German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel had long ago raised the question.
Hamilton "was what we call a radical Christian, or if you like, an atheistic Christian," said Altizer, who was co-author with Hamilton of the 1966 book, "Radical Theology and the Death of God."
The book and the ensuing 1966 Time magazine article "Is God Dead?" became part of a national questioning of establishment values. They also made Hamilton a pariah at Colgate Rochester Divinity School, a liberal Baptist theological school in Rochester, N.Y.
Despite holding an endowed chair and full tenure, Hamilton was no longer allowed to teach and left for a new job at New College in Sarasota, Fla., said Ronald Carson, a student of Hamilton's at the time and now an emeritus professor of humanities at the University of Texas.
"He rose to the occasion of the notoriety and made, I think, wonderful educational use of it, trying to clarify what this means, encouraging other people to try to think it through," Carson said.
He explained the concept as "not about the beyond. It's about living a good life. Bill would say, 'Pay attention to the Christian story. Reread the Sermon on the Mount.'"
Hamilton left New College in 1970 and became dean of arts and letters at Portland State University, teaching a wide range of subjects until he retired in 1986.
He continued writing, producing books on William Shakespeare and Herman Melville. His most recent work, a collection of essays on religious themes titled "Sine Nomine," was published last fall.
Born March 9, 1924, in Evanston, Ill., Hamilton was raised a Baptist and went to Oberlin College before joining the Navy during World War II. After the war he enrolled at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Hamilton married ballet dancer Mary Jean Golden, and together they went to Scotland, where Hamilton earned his doctorate in theology at the University of St. Andrews.
Besides his wife, Hamilton is survived by five children, eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
William Hamilton dies at 87; theologian questioned God's existence
William Hamilton wrote the book 'Radical Theology and the Death of God.' It and an ensuing Time article called 'Is God Dead?' became part of a national questioning of establishment values.

I need software to make a bootable recovery partition.
I have searched all over on google and forums for software to make a bootable recovery partition and I can't find anything.
I need software that will make an image or a backup of my windows system / C drive and put it on a partition I have made (15gbs)
I need to be able to press a button like f4 or something at startup (bios) and for it to be able to load the recovery software if I ever had a problem with my computer.
Is there anything that can do that?
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
If you are quick , you can get this.
The download is only available free till 19th Jan 2010:
Paragon Backup & Recovery Compact Free registration
Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Compact [32-bit]
Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Compact [64-bit]
Select Manage Backup capsule - you get an F1 key at startup.
You can tell it to store the backup images you make with it on there , too.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
Thank you so much. I just got it. Thanks again.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
You're welcome.
Have Fun.
Are you sure 15gb is enough? An image will be about 50 - 60% of the used space of the partition you are imaging . Plus a little space to breathe.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
I just reinstalled windows so I hope it isn't that much space. Thanks.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
That will plenty if you just want an image of a fresh reinstall.
Restore that at any time and you are back with the fresh reinstall. Good idea.
Paragon will automatically offer the last partition as the backup capsule ( I assume that's where your 15 gb is? ).
You can also select a time out for the F1 key - I find 2 or 3 seconds is plenty.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8.1.1 Pro 64 bit
Just remember if the hard drive crashes (fails) your recovery partition is gone too since it's on the same physical drive.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
Yes, you need an external image somewhere safe as well.
The recovery partition will get you out of most situations ( excluding hardware failure).
It is particularly useful for a laptop/netbook.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
Windows 7 32 bit
You may want to make a backup on an external USB drive if you have one before making the backup capsule. I have had Paragon hose my partition table making a backup capsule on both Vista 32 bit and Vista 64 bit systems.
I haven't tried the similar mechanism in Macrium Reflect. I have redundant backups on several external drives so I don't really feel the need for it. The restore from internal HD is a bit faster if you are doing some testing or for some other reason need to restore frequently.. but for just system protection restore from external USB doesn't take all that long, esp. if you keep a high percentage of free space on your system disk.
Other than hardware failure, really nasty malware tends to attack your boot mechanism or partitions. A backup capsule is mostly useful for fast restores if you install another OS to try it and then want to go back to the backup up OS or make some changes yourself and want to undo them. If somebody nails you will malware chances are good your system won't boot to use the capsule anyway. The reason I bought backup imaging software in the first place is because somebody deleted my C: partition.
The backup capsule creation is not bullet proof on all systems. I'd create a way of undoing it before trying it.

Here's our vegan Thanksgiving that we made today: Pearl onions, crescent rolls, collard greens, mashed potatoes, tofurkey, stuffing, tofurkey gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin cheezecake. Not fancy, but very delicious!
THAT WHIPPED CREAM LOOKS AMAZING. Yes to all of this.

Three courses of vegan Thanksgiving gluttony! To start, vegetable crudites and crackers with Rawsome nut dip, vegan cheese ball, and carrot cashew pate; plus maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas. My somewhat washed out main dishes: Field Roast hazelnut and cranberry roast en croute with miso mushroom gravy on top; roasted butternut squash salad; brussels sprouts with hazelnuts; dressing with chestnuts, apples, and Field Roast snausages; baked sweet potatoes and apples in sweet sauce of cinnamon maple syrup deliciousness; mashed potatoes; and cranberry sauce in the center. Then to wrap things up, apple pie, pumpkin bars, and caramel pecan bars. (This is why I'm fat (YOLO.).)

Happy Thanksgiving, Vegansaurus! My husband and I have been vegan for many years, and our two kids (5 and 2) have always been vegan. This Thanksgiving, we had Thai-style kabocha soup, stuffed veggie roast, maple-glazed clementine tofu with roast veggies, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, tricolor steamed cauliflower, maple yam casserole, pecan date rolls, and pumpkin pie with coconut whipped cream. We're stuffed! I hope you are too! I love your posts! They always make me hungry.
That all sounds amazing! Plus, MAD bonus points for the two ADORABLE vegan kids. Love love love.

The annual cost for insurance will depend on the total value of the ring, but it's minimal. Below are the top three certification companies:

LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. has unveiled its first educational, active video gaming system, LeapTV, which is designed specifically for children ages 3 to 8 years old. This new console system combines activity and movement with LeapFrog's educational curriculum.
LeapTV features a transforming gaming controller that has been specifically designed for children's small hands and limited dexterity. In its regular configuration, it enables classic gameplay, but with the press of a button it easily transforms into a motion controller and LED pointer controller. The LeapTV system also features a motion-sensing camera, which puts a child directly in the game, as well as a design that integrates into most homes.
The LeapTV video game system puts learning into motion with three ways to play: body motion, pointer play, and classic control. For body motion, the motion-sensing camera captures a child's moves and puts them into the game as they explore activities like dance and martial arts. For pointer play, the controller transforms into a pointer with a simple twist and lets kids snap jungle vines, slice through coconuts, swing from building to building and more. [Read more...]

Working with In between With her third You write and With me and You've Well, basically, What do look I like it when You've I wanted to Well, it's My mother is Where do you We're
longtime producing partner Timbaland, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott
changed hiphop with her 1997 debut Supa Dupa Fly. Missy, refusing to
squeeze herself into the narrow confines of the female rap artist profile (sweet
diva or tough slut, take your pick), created her own framework of stardom, where
she could do and say and act and look exactly how she pleased.
writing and producing for acts as diverse as Ginuwine and Aaliyah, Missy managed
to put out two records, bring her bawdy brand of feminism to the Lilith Fair
lineup, and become the darling of fickle critics round the globe.
full-length CD Miss E…So Addictive (Elektra/Gold Mind) Elliott and
Timbaland have retooled the 70s "sex" album for the brand new millennium.
Ecstasy, adulterous affairs and one-minute men are only some of the topics that
fuel the cheerful salaciousness. With the eager help of everyone from Ludacris
to Jay-Z to Eve, it seems Missy Elliott is gettin' her freak back on.
produce all your own music with Timbaland. Tell me a little about how you two
work in the studio.
Timbaland it's been the same since day one. He creates a really simple
beat and I'll start singing to it. I create the melody and he works around
that. Once that's set I write the lyrics. The lyrics come from whatever
the track makes me feel. It might be a dance track or a sexy track–it depends
on what I'm hearing and feeling. The one thing is, we've grown since
the first album. I wasn't stressed or anything on that album, partly because
we had no competition from our own music, from a previous album. We staggered
here and there on the second album, I was a lot more tense trying to get over
those sophomore jitters, so we went back and forth, just trying to meet halfway.
With this new album, I was really relaxed. I thought, "Let's just
do what we do." So we had a lot of fun.
got a lot of guests on the new album. How do you decide who's going to
appear on what song?
once we were done with the record, I listened to the songs and thought, "Redman
and Method Man would sound hot on this, Eve would sound hot on this." The
Eve track is a techno-rave type of track and I thought it would be cool to mix
hiphop with a house beat. I always have Da Brat on my albums and Jay-Z and Ludacris
were really supportive. I went to all the artists and made sure they felt good
about the tracks they were doing.
for in the acts that you produce?
artists have a direction themselves rather than just me giving them a direction,
because nobody can really make a decision better than yourself when it comes
to dealing with your style. Once you allow that, artists tend to grow. I like
artists that come to me with an idea already of what they want to do. I try
to tell the women I work with to know their business, too, not be naive, to
get out there and take control of what they're doing. A lot of times you
lose out if you're not into the business side, you wake up and realize
you have no money, so you have to be headstrong. And as females we have to be
strong and work hard. Females can do the same amount, the same things as any
man. I'd like to see more females as the heads of companies, whether it's
labels or companies in general, I'd like to see them striving for the top
also got this great sense of female sexuality. This new album is really raunchy
and straight-up. I think it helps dispel the myth that women aren't as
voracious in their appetites as men. You seem to know what you want and you've
ended up making this really sexy, really sexual album.
make this album a sexy album. It was time for a sexy album. I thought, as far
as lyrics, I felt like we had already touched the "love" records and
the "I don't want no scrub" records, we already had the "give
me my money" records. As females we went through a very tough time, but
as I said, what happened to the sexy records? I wanted to make a record about
getting it on! I wanted to come at it from a different angle. So many records
are talking about the same thing. I wanted this record to stick out like a sore
thumb, for people to go, "Whoa! What is that? Damn!"
great, because at the same time you've got this really gorgeous gospel
song on the album, too.
very religious and I grew up religious. A friend who has since passed on had
asked me to do a gospel song, so that song is for them really. I'm Baptist
and my mother kept me very strict. I don't get to church every Sunday now,
but I'm a firm believer in God. I don't think I need to be in church
every Sunday to have a personal relationship with Him. I believe that everything
that I have, He's given me. I think that's important to remember and
I'm thankful for my mother raising me that way because I think that keeps
me solid. It keeps me from going wild out here in this business, because it's
easy to get caught up in a lot of things.
think hiphop is headed?
headed in the right direction. I do say I believe that once people found out
the samples they were using may take 80 to 90 percent of their publishing money,
they started having to be creative! People started to have to rely on their
own beats, their own sound. Because then they know that when the check comes,
it comes to them. There was a time when hiphop was very stuck. But now people
are starting to kick their own beats and every once in a while you get people
like Jill Scott to switch up the game. So it's a good time, really. I like
to think we are at a place where things are starting to change again. And change
is always good.
