Last night I really wanted to wear this dress to Love Never Dies thinking it would fit really nicely with my weight loss…. wrong - it's WAY too big! It's hanging off me at the top and there's heaps of room in the back. I can't believe it, ALL of the dresses I bought in New York in December don't fit me anymore either :(
Weight loss problems! I'll have to go dress shopping for the engagement party I have this weekend!

i graduated from here. this school has built me into the young women i am today. i strive with the support i got from my teachers and coaches to be better. i am a girl who played on the boys basketball team after being "tormented" about it from other parents from different schools saying i was "too tough". i was told every morning walking up the stairs from parents saying "you are an amazing player. i want my child to play like you do. your gonna be amazing in life." notre dame gave me a chance to branch out. the teachers and coached still tell me that im able to get help from them any time. if you have a daughter who has a love for basktetball and is looking for a competition, this is the right school. the education as well is great and so is the support. not every school is perfect. so there will be problems. but im proud to say im a graduate of notre dame interparocial academy
While I applaud the principal for making one change in the middle school, not enough is being done to prepare these kids or high school and beyond. The 8th grade teacher is still in place and still a bully. Children are threatened constantly. Many children were accepted into good schools this year-all of which had additional help outside of Notre Dame. Mek and Huntington must love Notre Dame families! We keep them in business! As stated by others, lower grade classes can be okay but upper grades need more qualified staffing.
Overall, am satisfied with the school. Do think there are only two types of teachers, those that are so stressed, its hard for them to be effective, those that are so tough, the inflict great stress on the kids and parents. Teacher and staff development including coping skills and situation management for the teachers is important. I do believe that the staff genuinly cares about the kids and does their best to educate them...just may need to let up a bit sometimes and the kids will perform better. Need to develop a sense of school spirit that was cultivated in past years.
In agreement with most here. Lower grades are okay-good in some cases, Unfortunately when the children get to the middle school level, things are lacking and in many cases very bad. I will say that they finally hired a middle school math teacher and bumped down the previous one. This is a step in the right direction. Actually having someone (somewhat qualified) is better than what has been there for too long. Many changes still need to be made to give this school more than a weak one star rating. Bullying (by teachers)is still an issue and there is little to no interaction with Parish priests. One more year and my family will be finished. We have stayed to let my second child graduate. If I had to do over, I would have chosen a true Catholic school. One with compassion and caring.
Notre Dame has been a great school. My child has been a student at ND since Pre K and we have no complaints. It's a small school where everyone knows eachother and we have felt it to be like a family. Can't speak for the parents with the negative experiences. Sometimes, parents and students have to take some responsiblity for certain situations and/or outcomes. For those searching for a school for your child, just remember, there is no "perfect school". But if you want a family like environment, good education with upto date technology, plays that are preformed every year, co-ed basketball team, cheerleading, NJHS, Gifted and Talented, and more then you should really consider NDA.
One star is being generous. Upper grades specifically 7th and 8th are beyond bad. The teachers have been in place far too long with no disciplinary action for the many cases of wrong doing. If you have a young man in these grades,you will have an issue. I urge you to speak to a parent of an 8th grade boy. Bullying by teachers should not happen . EVER. But it does and the principal has done nothing to correct these issues.
I am a Notre Dame parent with one child who has attended this school since 2003. We lived through the termination of the nuns and the new administration and will be leaving the school next week. I can honestly say that the lower grades up to 5th grade are acceptable. There are teachers who care and actually teach. Our toughest years have been 7th-8th grade. Constant issues with unnecessary drama caused by the two teachers in these grades. I question the qualifications of both teachers . Lessons are not explained well and the children are under extreme stress constantly. Children were not prepared at all for the COOP by these teachers. They charged $100+ for extra help preparing and then did little to nothing in the 45 minute sessions. Most (90%) parents hired tutors, former teachers and used places like Kumon and Mek at great expense to prepare their children. The school dropped the ball. COOP prep should have been a priority and it was not. Only constant threats of how the high schools would never accept children like them. Most got in to choice schools because of tutoring.Honor Society is a joke with no real qualifications to enter or activities to sustain. Would not do it again.
There are very good points made here. This site states not to post names of teachers, students or staff. In all fairness the parent who stated his name- has a child in the lower grades. The issues shared here are very specific and many are about the 7th and 8th grade. Unless you have a child in those classrooms, or have had a child there, you have no idea what goes on there. I have strong feelings about these issues but would have never subjected my child to repercussions that have and do happen after such postings. This site is excellent in that it points out that people should ALWAYS look before they leap . Can this many concerns be unfounded? I have had 2 children graduate from this school and the issues of bullying and harassing the upper grade boys have existed for years. They are not new. One can blame it on the nuns, the priests or the current principal but the problems still exist. And parents have complained over the years. Many parents including myself. Maybe we all just had too much faith that at some point SOMEONE would do the right thing and make changes. Good luck to you all.
Some teachers are above and beyond. Top notch. There are those though that should not be there. You wont't realize it until you hit 7th or 8th grade. Bullying should never be allowed. Bullied students or teachers is unacceptable. Ever. Fix this issue. Smart boards don't make an academy. No school is perfect, this one for sure not. Posted by a current parent.
i went to catholic school thru grammar and high school. i wasn't sure about sending my son to catholic school, having seen how most catholic schools are forced to make due with sub-standard funding. that is not the case at notre dame. smart boards, ipads, new science equipment, a nicer gym than my high school, and on and on. it doesn't come cheaply, but it is a sacrifice my wife and i are comfortable making in the interest of my son's education. i suggest to anyone that is interested in having their child possibly attend this school, to visit the school and talk to parents. you'll find a welcoming community. then you can make an informed decision. you're not going to get much from this site when people are using it as a place to anonymously take shots at the same people they've entrusted their child's education to. and as a volunteer coach who receives nothing in return for my time and dedication to helping children learn and play a sport, if someone was going to take a shot at me, i'd expect the least they could do in return was put their name on it. -matt doyle, st joe's grammar school (wny) '89, st joe's high (wny) '93
I have to agree with the parents who think Notre Dame is a great school. There are plenty of Catholic Schools in the area who are hurting for enrollment (and possibly even closing this year) and I am sure would take a transfer student in the 7th or 8th grade. My child also graduated last year and although there was a lot of work we did NOT have any of the problems referenced below with the teachers. I also have to ask why anybody would keep their child in a school where they were not treated well. Any parent who is that unhappy with a school that they are paying tuition for should really remove their child and put them in another school. Personally, I found that as long as your child does the work and is a good student there really are no problems. For children who would prefer not to do the work or send texts during class, those children are going to have problems but I think they would have problems in any school. I also love the fact that Notre Dame made Academy status.
I am curious how the "Academy" will handle events from this last weekend at the school. Sure doesn't seem like a safe place for children when their adult coaches handle themselves in such a violent and vulgar manner. Anything but terminating the coaches from that group is a failure on the admin's part. We left last year and have not looked back. Not a safe and compassionate place. Look before you leap. And be aware that the school has the Home school Assoc. watching this site and countering any "less than positive" reviews. If the Parish priests want to verify this info, they should talk to current and past parents. Do this before something truly tragic happens. And yes, you can attempt to transfer out-be aware that the principal herself will contact your new schools with a disparaging comments about your family. Been there and done that.
Unfortunately, I was also reminded of this site due to the negative comments being posted about Notre Dame Academy. I'm not going to say that these people are wrong - they are entitled to their opinions. Parents who are visiting this site are looking for different peoples experiences to help them make a tough decision. As a parent of a child currently in a school with smart boards being used in every grade, new science equipment, staff that are invested in my child's success, and a principal invested in both child & school success, I'm paying tuition and keeping my child in an environment where I know he is succeeding. If, like some of these parents posting negative comments, I wasn't happy, I'd pull my child out and find another school. All that being said, parents looking for a school for their child should visit ND Academy, speak with parents, teachers, and the principal to judge the character of the school and staff for yourselves. For all anyone knows, those posting the negative comments could be right, ND isn't the place for your child but that's a decision you need to make keeping in mind - how often do people show an appreciation for a good thing vs those that complain?
My child graduated last year and we were a long term Notre Dame family. Also pre and post Nuns. I must agree with several other posters stating that the school is not a healthy place for children 11+. The upper grade teachers are not qualified to teach the subjects. They are unkind to the upper grade boys specifically. Bullying issues are not addressed by the current principal. It is unfortunate as Notre Dame was once a great school. Smart boards are great but without a core staff who are dedicated to teaching children-all is for nothing. Look past the "Catholic Schools week* Dog and Pony Show" and there you will see the truth. PreK- 4th grade is great. Upper grades need cameras in class to keep teachers honest.
I was reminded of this site by another parent. Sadly , I do agree that this school lacks the compassion, faith and honesty that they advertise. There is zero involvement from parish priests. They do not lead our children in faith or education. We had hoped with the new priest that he would help restore our school to it's once excellent standing within the community. Not the case. The current administration at the school is only interested in the "Academy" status. An academy only in name- nothing else. Save your $ for high school and college. Or be prepared to pay for extra tutoring from former teachers, and places like MEK.
To answer a parent review here- Notre Dame is a good school up to 6th grade. Normal drama just like any other school. But the bullying by teachers and general nonsense is really bad in the 7th and 8th grade classes. By the time your child reaches that grade level-there is no where to go. Most Catholic schools prefer not to accept transfers in those grades. For students wanting to continue their Catholic education you have to stick it out. These two years are extremely difficult with the current staff. This is extremely true for male students. It is also common practice for the males to be the clean up and pack mules. Loading and moving boxes as well as caring for the Snapple machine are normal tasks. I suppose what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but paying for your child to be a custodian doesn't fair well with my family. Parent of the 2011 class .
Notre Dame is by far the best Catholic School in the area. There are smart boards in every class room. The computer lab was recently upgraded and there are now science labs. If parents are that unhappy, why would you not put your child in a different school? Why would any parent send their child to a school that they felt was not a healthy place ? Sounds more like a personal issue than an academic one. The children are expected to follow rules. There is work and projects but the children learn which is the purpose of school. All of the eighth grade students were accepted to every high school they applied. That in itself says a lot about the academics. The staff is dedicated. In this day with the amount of Catholic elementary school closings at such a high rate, what the Principal has done at Notre Dame is unprecedented. My child was there pre and post the changes in leadership and although I was very upset at the time I can now see that the Archdiocese made the right decision and had they not the school would have probably been closed by now. If you are looking for a great Catholic school that you do not have to worry about closing, I highly recommend Notre Dame Academy.
I certainly aggree that NotreDame is by far the best Catholic School in Bergen County. The children here are very well educated and formed spiritually in their Catholic Faith. My children also attended under the former "regime" Sister's Ellen and Pat. What a difference when the change when into effect. Something that should have happened a long time ago!! I cannot see why a parent who felt that the Catholic education their children are receiving at Notre Dame is wrong for their children, why would they continue to send their children there? If I felt that strongly about the school not being good, I would not send my children there. I believe it is just a personal issue the parent has. I f you desiring to have a good Catholic Education for your child, Notre Dame is the place!!
I wish I could give this school a 0 stars out of 5. This is the worst school I have EVER BEEN TO. I am now a junior in highschool, and I was treated like the way I am now when I was in 5th grade. The principal is horrible, every good teacher has been fired. Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Stonham, it is ridiculous. Actually, Mrs. Hansen quit because she could not stand the principal any longer. DO NOT send your children to this school. There is a girl in the school who has a fund for her to go back to the school, and the teachers BEG for money and punish you if you don't bring in money. If they want her to go back to that school so bad then they can pay for her tuition. HATE THIS SCHOOL AND SO DOES EVERY CHILD IN IT.
Wonderful school. Great education. Loving family atmosphere. All faculty and staff are involved and committed to the children.

The following includes answers to common questions about entering minister wages and church employee income.
How do I enter minister wages and housing allowances subject to self-employment tax?
Enter minister wages subject to self-employment tax in Screen W2, located in the Income folder. Enter 1 in the Wage code field to indicate Minister, and UltraTax CS automatically transfers the amount of federal wages to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 1. Enter 2 in the Code field in the Box 14 statement dialog to indicate housing allowance, and enter the amount you want transferred to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 4a.
Data must be entered in Screen Clergy, located in the Taxes folder. If a parsonage is provided, complete the Parsonage provided by church subsection. If an allowance is provided, complete the Parsonage or rental allowance provided by church subsection.
If the information is not reported on Form W-2, enter the amount of the housing allowance subject to self-employment tax in the Parsonage or Allowance Housing Information section in Screen Clergy. Amounts entered in the Fair rental value of parsonage provided by church field transfer to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 3a. Amounts entered in the Parsonage allowance (Force) field transfer to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 4a. The amounts transfer to the applicable line of the SE Earnings Worksheet.
How do I enter unused housing allowance income?
Per IRS Publication 517, when housing allowances are not included on Form W-2, Box 1, and amounts received were greater than actual costs, report the excess on Form 1040, line 7.
Enter the total housing allowance received in Screen W2, Box 14, or if not reported on Form W-2, enter the total in the Parsonage or Allowance Housing Information section in Screen Clergy, located in the Taxes folder. Amounts entered in the Fair rental value of parsonage provided by church field transfer to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 3a. Amounts entered in the Parsonage allowance (Force) field transfer to Clergy Worksheet 1, line 4a. Excess housing allowance is calculated on Clergy Worksheet 1, line 4i. Excess utilities allowance is calculated on Clergy Worksheet 1, line 3e. Excess allowance is transferred to Form 1040, line 7.
My client is a church employee. Am I required to enter any special information?
If the W-2 received contains amounts in boxes 3 and 5, no further input is required. If the W2 received does not contain amounts in these boxes, Schedule SE, Section B may be required.
In Screen OtherTax, enter the amount from W2, box 1 in the Electing church wages for an employee other than minister field.
How do I indicate that a minister is exempt from self-employment tax?
If a minister has been approved by the IRS as exempt from self-employment tax, enter X in the Form 4361 filed with IRS field in Screen Clergy.
How do I enter housing allowances for a retired minister?
A retired minister may receive rent-free use of a home or a rental allowance in recognition of past services as a minister. The lesser of the designated allowance, the fair rental value of the home, or the actual expense of maintaining the home is excludable from income. The taxable amount of any retirement distribution is reduced by the amount of a designated housing allowance.
Enter X in the Ministerial pension with housing allowance field on Screen 1099R. Enter the gross distribution in Box 1, and the distribution code in Box 7, along with any other information from the Form 1099-R. Do not enter an amount in Box 2a, Taxable amount. On the corresponding Screen 1099R-2, complete these fields: Designated housing allowance, Actual housing expenses, and Fair rental value of housing, including utilities. UltraTax CS will calculate the excludable portion of the pension and automatically carry the taxable amount to Form 1040 line 16b. A statement will print with the return to detail the calculation. The taxable and non-taxable portion of the pension will also carry to the Clergy Worksheet 1, lines 5a and 5b, to be included in the calculation of the percentage of tax-free income, if necessary.
If this calculation is not desired, enter the gross distribution in Box 1, the taxable amount in Box 2a, and leave the Ministerial pension with housing allowance field blank. Do not complete the data entry section Ministerial Pension with Housing Allowance on Screen 1099R-2. The taxpayer should have documentation supporting the expenses of providing a home, but does not need to submit the documentation to the IRS.

The Major Trends and Themes

Jupiter expands whatever he touches. He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac
sign. His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-
As 2014 begins, Jupiter is still in Cancer and your tenth house until July 16th when he moves into Leo and your eleventh house.
In Cancer, Jupiter becomes far more nurturing. Cancer is the sign of the home, childhood, mothers, safety, security, a comfortable retirement, and what kind of private life we prefer. Jupiter brings knowledge, global awareness, and expansion to these topics. Globally, we are more likely to want to make sure that the world's children are fed, the poor are sheltered, the sick are healed, etc. However, Cancer is not a gullible zodiac sign that can be easily tricked into caring for the manipulative, dysfunctional, or lazy. Cancer is the classic Mother Hen always looking out for her loved ones but also shrewd, intuitive, and not at all afraid to call us out when we are getting out of line. It is the Mother Hen who not only loves us enough to tell us the truth about ourselves when we are being jerks, but also the same one who will roll up her sleeves and get to work helping us when we are in our time of need. Jupiter's time in Cancer could help us globally to become kinder and more caring towards each other, but we will be expected to maintain a realistic and practical outlook while doing so.
For Libra, Jupiter will be in your tenth house of professional goals and aspirations,
leadership, public reputation, and climbing the Ladder of Success. Jupiter encourages
you to take on leadership roles and to enjoy the climb up the Ladder of Success.
If you personally are not in the mood to take on leadership roles or you are not
in a situation where that is in your best interest, then you could find that Jupiter
represents a wonderful boss that likes you, understands you, and is willing to do
all they can to support you in your efforts. Sometimes, having a great boss is better
than actually being the boss. Either way, this is an excellent time for you to be
focusing on your professional goals and creating a path to success. You can also
find Jupiter's good luck, intelligence, and charm makes it easier for you to earn
recognition for your accomplishments and to boost your reputation. Even if you were
just a stay-
In Leo, Jupiter is ready to have some fun. This is the planet in charge of travel,
For Libra, Jupiter will be in your eleventh house of friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, groups, social activities, networking, connectivity, science (how small parts connect to make the bigger whole and/or how they interact to create a process or system), and the Internet. This will be a fun and creative time for you and your friends, teammates, colleagues, and associates. This is a delightfully charming time for socializing, but you could also find that you and your colleagues are able to come up with some very creative ideas when it comes to working together on projects. Internet activities, networking projects, membership drives, and other group activities could benefit from a boost of enthusiasm, creativity, and spunk.
Saturn creates our personal challenges and "tough love" learning experiences. He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign. His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful. Saturn rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty. Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges. If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves a zodiac sign. For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts. Then, if we learned lessons about professional reputations, taking on leadership roles, etc., and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc. We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves. If, on the other hand, we did not learn any lessons about our professional conduct, leadership style, etc., or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc. then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured. Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the sake of being mean. When in actuality, he is like a "tough love" parent forcing us to grow up and act like responsible adults. Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.
As 2014 begins, Saturn is still in Scorpio and your second house until December 23rd when he enters Sagittarius and your third house.
In Scorpio, Saturn finds himself in friendly territory. Scorpio rules over things
like trust, loyalty, and profits. While Saturn rules over an area of the zodiac
that focuses on civic duty, professionalism, success, and leadership. Saturn rules
over karma and Scorpio rules over trust. Saturn is very comfortable traveling through
Scorpio. While in Scorpio, Saturn will be testing us, teaching us, challenging us,
and/or revealing karma owed concerning the topics of trust and sharing, intimacy,
fidelity, spousal and child support, joint assets, joint ventures, investments, stocks,
commissions, royalties, tips and gratuities, inheritances, loans, lotteries, taxes,
and other forms of profit sharing. Scorpio also rules over hidden agendas, secret
motivations, deep psychological issues, and those times when we want to hide away
in our secret cave to lick our wounds and heal from some harsh battle, emotional
trauma, etc. that we have endured. Scorpio brings us the life-
For Libra, Saturn is still focusing his "tough love" teaching moments on your second
house of personal wealth, salaries, wages, assets, net worth, and self-
In Sagittarius, Saturn is a bit complicated. Sagittarius is a smart, independent,
adventurous zodiac sign. Sagittarius people are notorious freedom-
For Libra, Saturn is entering your third house of interpersonal communications (verbal
and written words, telecommunications, computers, etc.), commercial activities (buying
and selling, negotiations, contracts, agreements, commitments, etc.), and local community
(neighbors, local people, siblings, extended family, one's clansmen, etc.). Local
forms of transportation, like subways, city busing, cars, bicycles, skates, etc.
are also part of this sector. When Saturn passes through this area of someone's
chart, they often experience problems, issues, and challenges concerning neighbors
and extended family, local transportation, computers, telecommunications, sales (as
both the buyer and the seller), contract negotiations, and the ability to get their
point across to others. You could be accused of thinking in a small-
Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of
the zodiac. He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign. He rules over
friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science,
interconnectivity, electricity, and the Internet. He can bring teamwork, friendships,
networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves into our
lives. He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.
This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual
selves but also to be a great team player. Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to
find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure. Those who master Uranus'
teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders. Uranus also encourages us
to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.
Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises
and unexpected chaos. Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, "all
for one and one for all", and "united we stand, divided we fall." He is not asking
us to be sheeple following the crowd mentality with blind faith. He is asking us
to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-
As 2014 begins, Uranus is still in Aries and your seventh house where he will stay for a few more years.
There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003. While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed. Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet. Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.
From 2003 until 2010, Uranus was in Pisces. Here he was somewhat subdued. Pisces
rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes. Things like mental health,
secrets, self-
Once Uranus moved into Aries, he began to have some fun. Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea. Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one's self, and a brainstorming genius. Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn. Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness. Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy. It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and "me first!" Does "me" or "we" prevail? It seems to me that this is a "we the people" time in history. Governments, corporations, dictators, and others that would try to control the ignorant masses could find that "we the people" is a stronger and more passionate force to be reckoned with than what is expected. The peasants might appear to be fat and lazy or uneducated and unorganized, but Uranus within Aries creates a lovely energy for uniting people under a single cause and motivating groups to move in unison. We will see more of this in the voting booths as well as in the public marches and demonstrations.
For Libra, Uranus is still in your seventh house of marriage, best friends, business
partnerships, and competitors (think yin-
It is not unusual for one or both of you to decide that the partnership is no longer working and to want to end the relationship. It is not so much because you no longer care about each other, but that it is easy to conclude that ending the partnership is the only answer to creating stability in your own life. Unfortunately, all that means is that you get to then embark on a roller coaster of dating or interviewing potential business partners that is just as crazy and unpredictable. You see, it is your partnership sector that is hosting Uranus' genius, charm, and rebellion, so you will have to deal with it regardless. To a point, it is about your ability to cope with chaos, extreme good and extreme bad in a partnership. Your competitors could become a bigger than normal problem too. This is because they can trick you into thinking that they want to create an alliance or team approach to things and then they can abruptly stab you in the back for trusting them. This is a difficult placement, but not without its charms. Internet dating, Internet business partnerships, and entrepreneurial activities should flourish.
Neptune tries to bring emotional well-
As 2014 begins, Neptune is still in Pisces and your sixth house. He will stay here until 2025.
In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home. Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts
of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-
For Libra, Neptune is still in your sixth house of daily work, coworkers, productivity, physical health, and feeling useful. Professionally, Neptune encourages you to work in industries that are spiritual, compassionate, and that are focused on serving others rather than on your own ego's desires. If you choose a professional path based on your own personal aspirations, then you could find mysterious roadblocks, head games, deceptions, secret enemies, etc. are keeping you from advancing. Careers based on helping others will be mostly protected from these types of events. Physically, you could be persuaded to try unusual diets, fitness schemes, exercise routines, etc. based on trying to eliminate something from your diet or in an attempt to follow a spiritual path. You need to be careful and make sure that you are not being gullible and allowing people to convince you to live an unhealthy lifestyle even if it is for what you think is a noble cause. You also need to be very careful to avoid drug and alcohol related illnesses and various types of poisoning and infections. I am not saying that you will be sickly, only that it is much easier than normal to fall prey to unseen contaminants and to unknowingly harm your health despite good intentions.
Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches. He has an uneven
pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac
sign. His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower
us with passion and self-
As 2014 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your fourth house. He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.
In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers. Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and "tough love" style life lessons. Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of "tough love", doing one's civic duty, and ideas like "If I don't take care of this, who will?" When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc. Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings. The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and choose bits and pieces of the ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality. We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media. Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such. Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world. Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices? Do we have integrity in our government agencies? Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas? It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc. Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner. We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.
For Libra, Pluto is still in your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement circumstances, and "coming home". You could find great profits and personal growth if you work in real estate, mortgages, hospice care, retirement planning, landscaping, interior decorating, home construction, remodeling, home improvements, furniture, appliances, and/or anything in the "home" industries. This includes running a business out of your home. Telecommuting may also work well for you, but not as much as those industries focusing on the concept of "home". This is also an excellent time for healing your childhood issues, forgiving your parents, and/or for learning how to be a more dependable roommate. If you live with a lover or spouse, you could find that your love life is really boosted by this new energy in your private life. If you are planning to retire soon, this is a great energy for helping you to create a stable comfortable retirement situation for yourself. You have the planet in charge of profit sharing, fidelity, psychological forces, and hidden truths in the house of "home", retirement, parents, and roommates. This is also an excellent time for psychological, spiritual, and romantic healing, growing, and exploring. The energy encourages you to create a safe, loving, trusting, and financially stable home life for yourself over the next few years.
There are times during this year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone's life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives. More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.

Hi there! I haven't had time to read any in a while and I'm not sure if there are any new good ones, so sorry. Perhaps others in the fandom can recommend you some? But I answered a similar question some time ago and you can find that post here. Definitely read Break to Breathe by Okami-Rayne if you haven't already, though!
Hi there! That's very nice of you hahah. Will do! Thanks for the offer and am looking forward to you doing the questions again. :)
Aw thank you so much! :) Sorry, it's just that I've been really busy and also running out of things to post tbh. I'll update whenever possible though.
Aw, thank you so much anon!
Yeah I am! Haha, high 5! I haven't seen /any/ around (as in, in this fandom). Great to know I'm not alone. :D
Why thank you for the tag, Fuji! :) Right then, here goes.
1. I just started college (and have been busy settling in and travelling between my home town and where I'm currently at. That's also the reason I've been neglecting the blog. So sorry! Will try to update whenever I can!).
2. I live in Malaysia.
3. I'm not generally an anime fan; Naruto's an exception. I do watch a few other stuff though.
4. I love music and love a lot of bands.
5. I hated Naruto as a child because I couldn't understand the logic behind a ninja wearing a bright orange jumpsuit haha.
Thanks for the head's up, anon! That ShikaNeji moment had me going 'awwwwwww'. :')

Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra
|Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra
|Revised Romanization
|Seoul Sirip Gyohyang Akdan
|Sŏul Sirip Kyohyang Akdan
The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO), founded in 1948, is one of the oldest and most famous orchestras in South Korea. Its first foreign tour came on a 1965 trip to Japan, followed by performances in Southeast Asia in 1977, the United States in 1982, 1986 and 1996, a 1988 tour of Europe before the Seoul Olympics that year, and a 1997 performance in Beijing. The Philharmonic is an incorporated foundation since 2005. Its current music director is Myung-Whun Chung.
The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO), which was founded in January 1948, has a longer history than any other Korean orchestra. In February 1948, the orchestra held its opening concert, conducted by Maestro Seong-Tae Kim. In October of the same year, the Seoul Philharmonic Society was formed to provide support for the orchestra. The society published the music monthly Philharmony in the following year. After a subscription concert in the Seoul Civic Hall on June 25, 1950, the orchestra had to suspend its activities due to the outbreak of the Korean War, but resumed performance with the name of the Naval Symphony Orchestra, just five months later, to soothe the broken hearts of Koreans during the war.
In August 1957, the Seoul Metropolitan Council passed "The Seoul Metropolitan Ordinances to Install a City-Run Orchestra", the Naval Symphony Orchestra became the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, the first Korean orchestra funded by a government. The launching ceremony for the orchestra with triple winds took place in the city council's chamber. Saeng-Ryo Kim was appointed its first Chief Conductor. Since then, the SPO has helped the symphonies of Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky take root as basic repertoire in the Korean music community.
It was through these concerts that such names as Kyung-Sook Lee, Kun-Woo Paik, Kyung-Wha Chung, Dong-Suk Kang and Myung-Whun Chung, who have finally become maestros to represent the Korean music community, were able to blossom.
With the aim of growing to a major orchestra, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra was re-launched as an incorporated foundation on June 1, 2005 and appointed Myung-Whun Chung as its Music Director (he had been Artistic Advisor in 2005).
The orchestra under Chung performed the nine symphonies of Beethoven in 2006 and all of the symphonies and concertos of Brahms in 2007.
Since the re-launch as an incorporated foundation, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra has been performing with such world-class conductors as Charles Dutoit, Alexander Frey, Leonard Slatkin, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Pinchas Zukerman, Gennady Rozhdestvensky James Judd, David Afkham, Pascal Rophe, Kirill Karabits, Mikko Franck, Andrey Boreyko, and Francois-Xavier Roth, as well as such distinguished musicians as András Schiff (Pf), Martha Argerich (Pf), Kyung-wha Chung (Vn), Viviane Hagner (Vn), Mischa Maisky (Vc), Alexander Melnikov (Pf), Ilya Gringolts (Vn), Julian Lloyd Webber(Vc), Valentina Lisitsa (Pf), Nicholas Angelich (Pf), Hakan Hardenberger (Tp), Leonidas Kavakos (Vn), Arcadi Volodos (Pf), Gary Graffman (Pf), Colin Currie (Per.), Alexei Lubimov (Pf), Martin Frost (Cl), and Heinz Holliger (Ob).
Focus is also placed on interaction with modern music. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra "has the reputation for championing more new music than any other major Asian orchestra". [1] It adopted the composer-in-residence system for the first time in Korea when it was re-launched as an incorporated foundation, and welcomed Unsuk Chin as its first Composer-in-Residence. Ms Chin is founder-director of a series of modern music titled Ars Nova since 2006.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I wished the teachers that worked there (at least for my sons class) acted like they cared. If a particular teacher is/was having difficulty reaching a child because of any chosen reason I feel as though it is the responsibility of that teacher to make the necessary changes, instead of continuing to try and "educate" the child you clearly are not reaching. My son was stuck with his teacher the whole school year and you could clearly tell she disliked him, summer school comes and we are like great maybe he can get a break.........nope. same teacher for summer school. How did we get so lucky?
I think it needs a fresh start and teachers who care. I have a child who only stayed in the school for a few mos before moving. She was below reading level and I knew that from the start. I tried everything out there and nothing kept her interested. We moved to another state and she is excelling in more place than one. PS67 tried to labeled her with an IEP and behavior issues(something that was not mentioned in the meeting). When I got to new school, the overview was, she was just below reading level(PS67 said reading and math), she was emotionally reacting to her change due to bullying(something I complained about) and lack of confidence. New school stated they would have rather PS67 say they didn't have the proper resources for her, instead of an IEP(which she didn't qualify for due to high performance). Thankful, within a month of moving, she is progressing to be on reading grade level by June and above by Sept. It has something to do with the school listening, monitoring, following through. Be your child advocate. Overall, they/CITY need to make smaller classrooms and listen to parents concerns. Its in a decent neighborhood, they should have same resources as district 15.
P S 67 is on the move the school will be known as the Charles a Dorsey school of the arts and the parents at this school are excited. the students here at ps 67 are very talented children and their abilities should be shown for the world to know that the staff at ps 67 was able to capture that talent and build on it. academics are moving I am proud to have my child attend ps 67. so the staff at ps 67 take stand you put your best foot forward and our children are doing well. thank you ms. Seabrook and ms. Berkel for providing a safe haven for the children of ps 67. I also see parents are getting more involved.
This is a great school. People just don't understand what's going on here at PS 67. They have an excellent music program. Your child get every staff members undivided attention. And the counselors that work for Partnership with Children are great. The school is on it's way. Great job Ms. Seabrook and Ms. Berkel keep our children learning.
This school is a huge disappointment.The moral is low. Thier is little parent participation. We have no music program to speak of. Most of the students are well below grade average However, somehow they manage to continue to be promoted to the next grade.This problem has existed in the school for a long time. At this point I feel that the only solution or salvation for this school or it's student is intervention. When a child reaches the fourth grade but is reading at a second grade level, this is a problem a big problem! If you can't help a student don't hurt him with a grave injustice such as this. This is almost criminal and, someone should be held accoutable. Starting with the parent then work your way up or down depending on how you look at it. If the right people are reading this please HELP! ASAP or SER Parent Of A Title I

Shenandoah County Free Clinic receives $700,000 in federal funding
By Kim Walter -- email@example.com
Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Tuesday that nine state projects, including Shenandoah County Free Clinic, will receive federal funds through the Community Development Block Grant.
The clinic will receive $700,000 of the more than $6 million that the state had to divvy up amongst projects that benefit those in the low- and moderate-income bracket.
Pam Murphy, the clinic's executive director, was "ecstatic" to hear the news, since the county almost passed on applying for the grant.
"I'm just so grateful for the government officials and other supporters who stressed how worthwhile this is for the community," she said.
The money is a large chunk of the $2 million needed to complete an expansion project at the clinic. A new facility, a former nursing home, was purchased, but needs work done to accommodate the services offered by the clinic.
The clinic, along with its sister agency, the Shenandoah Dental Clinic, provides health services to low income underinsured residents of the county. Murphy said due to space and operational limitations, deserving citizens have been turned away.
"We plan to double the space and essentially serve twice as many people as we do now," she said.
In a year, the clinic sees over 2,000 visitors. The expansion will allow for more room in both the medical and dental clinics, and will also expand the staff by about 50 percent, Murphy added.
The plans for the new building have been under way for sometime, and now with the new funding, Murphy said she hopes to go out to bid for construction within the next month.
"We'd like to see the entire project done by the end of next year, which is very ambitious," she said.
The rest of the funds will have to come from fundraising and sponsors, she added.
"The people that we serve are those that have typically hit rock bottom and have never asked for help before...life is just bearing down on them," Murphy said. "This is a worthy project and I'm so glad others recognized that."

Looking for familiarity and a chance to win, Trevor Ariza chose the Houston Rockets. "I settled on Houston for one because I'm familiar with my surroundings," Ariza said during a Friday conference call with the media. "I just felt like the fit here was similar to what I had in Washington."
In Washington over the last two seasons, Ariza was a veteran leader for a team with two young stars. "I had to lead players. I felt like in the first time in my career, I had to actually lead players that - not trying to disrespect anyone - I had to lead players that were better than me," Ariza explained. "Having to do that, it takes a lot of patience, you have to understand the people that you are playing with and understand what they can do. When you have talented players like Bradley (Beal) and John Wall, you just want to see the best for them. Your team only goes as far as those players take you. You just try to push that and get the most you can out of them while you are on the court with them."
There certainly could be some similarities for Ariza here in Houston. While James Harden and Dwight Howard aren't nearly as young or inexperienced as Beal and Wall, they are clearly the top talents among his new teammates with the Rockets. He's already had a chance to talk with both of them.
"I've talked to a couple of the guys. James (Harden), being a California kid we already had a relationship prior to me being on the team, so we talk frequently. He's most excited about our opportunity to play together. Dwight, of course, we spoke, just on we want to win together. Patrick Beverley was extremely excited, he called me and told me how excited he was that we could possibly be on the floor at the same time. It's just an exciting time, we know that we are going to push each other to be the best we can when we are competing on the court together, competing against other teams."
After leaving Houston after just one season, four seasons ago, Ariza said he has grown a lot and learned a lot about his own game. "I'm more mature, I don't get frustrated as easy as I once did," Ariza said. "I learned patience. I learned my game. I know what I can do, I know what I can't do and I also know that I have room for improvement and growth as well. That's the biggest thing that I've learned.
"The first time I was here, it was like my rookie year," Ariza said. "I never had that ultra-green light to make plays happen and be that main guy on the team. That was actually my first time in those shoes, trying to have that role. I learned that is not an easy role and a lot of work goes into that. I just took my experience from that time and tried to put that all together (the last few years)."
Ariza originally signed a five-year deal with Houston prior to the 2009-10 season, coming off an NBA championship with the Lakers. He set career highs essentially across the board, starting 71 games, despite having started just 52 games in the first five seasons of his career combined. He also scored 1000 points in a season for the first time in his career, with his 1072 points topped only once since, this past season in Washington with 1107 points. But he also set a career low in field goal percentage at 39.4 percent and his free throw percentage of 64.9 percent is the only time he's shot under 70 percent in the last six seasons.
He was a great fit in Washington the last two seasons, providing shooting and defense at the wing position. He was 16th in the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage at 40.7 percent. Ariza had more win shares (8.0), than all but two of the players that shot better than him, Steph Curry (13.4) and Goran Dragic (10.3).
"I know that I can shoot the ball really well. I learned that and built enough confidence, and put in enough work to understand that I can shoot the ball with other players on the court," Ariza said. "I feel like with Patrick putting pressure on the ball at all times, that gives me an opportunity to get out in the passing lances and steal the ball. And 1-on-1 defense, having Dwight back there knowing that he is going to protect the rim allows me to be aggressive on the wings and try to cause a little bit more havoc for those premier wing guys.
"Every time I step on the court, the expectations for myself is to do anything that my team needs me to do," Ariza said. "Whether that is scoring the ball, playing defense, rebounding, the little things, anything. From the team standpoint, (my goal) is to win every time we step on the floor. Or to give my team a chance a chance at winning every time we lace them up."
Ariza returns to Rockets in leadership role
Looking for familiarity and a chance to win, Trevor Ariza chose the Houston Rockets. "I settled on Houston for one because I'm familiar with my surroundings," Ariza said during a Friday conference call with the media. "I just felt like the fit here was similar to what I had in Washington."

Scotties mirror images
One of the state's most significant high school football games to date in 2014 will be played Friday night when unbeaten, defending State 1A champion Freeman brings its veteran cast to Colville to face the unbeaten Indians.
Game time for one of the most important regular season football games in recent CHS memory is 7 p.m.
Colville (5-0, 3-0) and Freeman ((5-0, 3-0) are familiar protagonists over the years. The Indians and Scotties, if they aren't vying for a Northeast A League title, always seem to be on each other's non-league schedules.
Records broken
The weather was Chamber of Commerce perfect and the field at the annual Can-Am Invitational cross-country meet the largest ever last Saturday at scenic Old Kettle Recreation Area on the shores of Lake Roosevelt.
The sunny, mild day proved to be a record-setter for West Valley's Skylar Ovnicek and McCall Skay, who demolished the old Can-Am standards by significant margins in their respective races.
Three men sit at a picnic table in Yep Kanum Park, all there for very specific, similar reasons. Ian Pickett, his brother Michael Pickett, and friend Tony Gorst, all Colville residents, are part of a handful of concerned citizens on a mission to take back Yep Kanum Park. Over the past several years, the park, which is located in a wooded two acres in the heart of Colville, has garnered a reputation for vandal¬ism, loitering, and illegal drug use.
The last straw for Ian Pickett was when his 16-year-old daughter was warned by class¬mates not to go to the park by herself.
On Sept. 10, 2014, with his family at his side, our beloved Steve passed on to his forever home where he will watch over all of us.
Steve was born on Feb. 12, 1948, the oldest of four children to John "Joseph" and Marjorie Holcomb in Indianapolis, IN. From a very young age, Steve could be found in the garage tinkering or rebuilding something. Those who know Steve well, know he continued that interest throughout all his years.
Ronald Glen Olaf Curtiss, avid bowler, outdoorsman, pontoon boat captain, and accomplished fire boss, passed away peacefully on the morning of Friday, Sept. 26, 2014 in Libby, MT at the age of 73.
Maxine V. Brauner passed away Sept. 10, 2014 at her daughter's home in Palm Desert, CA.
She is survived by her five children, Gayle, Dick, Rod, Dan Brauner and Ronna Jimenez; six grandchildren, Chelsea, Sean, Brooke, April Brauner, and Kyle and Samantha Jimenez; one brother, Ernie Meyer, and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Richard (Dick); by her parents, Otto and Iva Meyer; by a sister, Jean Stark, and by her brothers, Duke, Pete, Don, Roy and Dick Meyer.
Lawrence Aaron Mace left us all too early as the result of a car accident on Sept. 24, 2014. He has gone to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Through his life, Lawrence found great peace in Psalm 23. He always called it his verse.
Lawrence was born the son of Harold and Judy Mace on Feb. 1, 1964 in Colville. He was a blessing to his family. Lawrence attended elementary school in Orient, until his family relocated to Colville in the early 70's, where he continued his education and graduated from Colville High School in 1982.
Darlene Marie Sublie (Hilstad) was born Oct 29, 1944 in Colville. She joined our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 69 on Sept.24,2014 in Yuba City, CA.
She attended all 12 years and graduated from high school at Kettle Falls. After high school, she lived the majority of her life in Washington State with her family. Her next phase of life had her settling in Yuba and Sutter Counties in California.
Catherine Seitters, a longtime resident of Colville, passed away peacefully on Sept. 23, 2014 at the age of 90. She was born on April 18, 1924 in White Swan to Frances and Anna (Queen) Leopardo.
Catherine lived in Lakeland Village with her family until moving to Spokane, where she lived for six years and worked in a nursing home. She later moved north, living and working at Loon Lake, Hunters and then to Colville in 1980.
Shirley Elizabeth Dodson was born Jan. 12, 1925 and went to her rest Sept. 19, 2014 with many of her family present.
Shirley was born to Claude and Leonie Wylie in Ft. Collins, CO. She was the youngest of four sisters: Helen, Iona and Earlene, all who preceded her in death. When she was three-years-old, the family moved to a ranch near Walden, CO, and relocated to the Colville area in 1935.
