My daughter had a speech problem and was a little behind because we had done a lot of moving around her first year of kindergarten. She had attended 3 different schools prior to Roosevelt in just one year and every single school I had brought up her speech problems and they all didn't offer any help at all. When she started at Roosevelt her teacher had contacted me before I even got a chance to bring anything to her attention about my daughters needs. She wanted to set up an appointment ASAP with us and a couple of other staff to focus just on Haylie's education. Roosevelt is an amazing school with staff that genuinely carte about their students development. They have went above and beyond to help my family and I wish every school had the qualities this school has.
I've had two kids go through this school, both had great teachers and were very successful there.
I went to this school from kinder garden all the way through 3rd grade..I loved this school so much and i did want to graduate from this school but unfortunately i did have to move to California but i seriously regret ever part of it.All of the teachers are the best and they are so nice.They have 2 playground which i love because the little kids from kinder garden through second get one play ground and the 4th through 5th graders get one play ground so it's divided which is a good thing.The campus itself is a really big campus and it's also divided in 3 sections.One is yellow one blue one green.At least it was when i went there.And plus its has a really nice reading program, and a really nice library its right in the middle when you enter.And it's very large.I seriously recommend this school to any one in the Vancouver area.I hope my report helped and good luck to anyone looking for a school..:)
Lousy school. Avoid it if you can. Son is falling behind academically, they give no homework, no reading time. I am making up for their short comings. Teacher told my son to mind his own business when he reported theft. Very disappointed.
This June my daughter is graduating as a student of 5-th grade at Roosevelt Elementary. She was tested last year and got placement at the Challenge program. It was a fun year for her ,with many projects done and things learned .It was very beneficial for my child to make friends with other gifted students,to see how many talents and sides of learning there are .The teacher for Roosevelt Challenge program is just fantastic.
I'm just entering my child in the challenge program.
Our family moved to Vancouver from San Francisco / Bay Area ,CA. My husband and I were concerned about low challenge level that our daughter had at her old public school in Concord ,Ca. Well ,we were off for a big surprise here at Roosevelt school.As beautiful and presentable as this school is on the outside ,so it is very fahr behind on our expectations level.My daughter does not have homework most of the time ,and she is not reading at home anymore .We feel that we dragged her a whole academic year back ,when she got enrolled to this school.If you can avoid it economically ,do not live in this zip code area. Or, send your kid to a private school.
My son is in his second year at Roosevelt, and although the school may be fine for some students, my son's only comment is how bored he is. The teachers tend to teach down to accomodate the high level of ESL students. My son has a sixth grade reading level and a fourth grade math level in second grade and the teacher doesn't know what to do with him. I would say that for the average student Roosevelt meets the requirements, but is not for the student with advanced needs.
My daughter is going into her 2nd yr at this school. She loves it soooo much!! She has met so many new friends and so many nice teachers!! I have been able to get answers to the many questions I have!!
Our kids have only gone to Roosevelt, one starting fifth grade and another starting second grade. We absolutely love Roosevelt! Our children have always done well on their tests and score high on mandated tests.( I feel that scores arent always the true accounts of Roosevelt due to the high ESL population and kids that move around alot. Our kids have always been here and thus score high on their tests, etc, including the WASL.) Also not sure if the computer technology rating is correct since for past two years most of 4th and 5th grade classes all have laptop computers. Three classes have enough for each student to have their own even. The overall feeling at Roosevelt is 'Homey, fun, down to earth, and Awesome'.

Defense attorney argues against dismissal of charges against his own client. The prosecution prevailed though in getting the charges dismissed without prejudice, which means the charges could be filed again at a later date. The prosecution said the reason for the dismissal without prejudice was because the time it would take to study new evidence could jeopardize the defendant's right to a trial within the specified timeframe of 180 days.
The Cassgram reports 26-year-old Derek Santistevan of Plattsmouth was charged with child enticement, a Class IIIA Felony and two misdemeanors of procuring (cigarettes). He was arrested after a Plattsmouth Police investigation.
Chief Deputy Cass County Attorney Colin Palm said that during pre-trial depositions, testimony was given that "could impact the state's case" and time was needed "to sort out the new information." While that was happening, the "speedy trial clock" would be ticking and could be a factor.
In making the objection to the motion to dismiss during the hearing in Cass County District Court, defense attorney Brendan Kelly argued the state could always bring new charges, but his client, who was free on $20,000 bond, was prepared to go to trial on these charges.
District Court Judge Randall Rehmeier said the defense's objection was "not up to the discretion of the court. …The state can, if it chooses, dismiss" charges. Previous case law is clear that since a trial had not started, there is no prejudice and the charge could be re-filed, said Rehmeier.
Santistevan faces a similar, but misdemeanor charge in Seward County, Nebraska. His next court appearance there is May 2nd.

Not many ponies get to work with (or rather for) Photo Finish, but PS did, it's true! You just don't say no to her, not that he would say no to any job.
What PS did for Photo Finish is a little hazy to the general public, given that he wasn't a model of any sorts or ever seen in front of or behind a camera, this led several tabloids to post very nasty rumors about the nature of what he did for/with her (all of which he is very much unaware of).
When asked about it PS' face turns red and he just explains he was a living fashion mannequin rather than a model, but most people think this is a very ridiculous lie.

The recipe that I'm sharing with you today is a slight variation on the the Black Chocolate Layer Cake that is included in my Gluten Free Cake cooking class.
I made this version of the cake for my son's 3rd birthday and we shared the leftovers with another gluten free family that we'd just met. Our new friend later send me a text saying, " My husband thinks your chocolate cake is the best he has ever had, even better than any flour cake." I LOVE to hear that because it's just one more proof that you can still have incredibly delicious food on a gluten free diet.
A few notes: In the recipe below I've included a couple of options for some ingredients. The first option is the one that I tested. The second option is the ingredient that I used in the original version of the recipe.
I haven't included an icing recipe. I generally use a packaged icing from the store – in this case, dark chocolate icing on the outside and coconut caramel icing between the layers. The mixing instructions may be different than what you're accustomed to, so be sure to read those before starting.
Ratio Analysis: I thought it would be fun to check this recipe against the ratio from the previous email.
16 oz of sugar > 12 oz of flour (be sure to count the cocoa as a flour)
6 oz of eggs < 9 oz fat
16 oz liquids (water + eggs) = 16 oz. sugar
According the cake ratio guidelines, I should add an additional 3 oz of eggs, or reduce the fat by 3 oz. I like for my cakes to very moist and tender, so I'm okay with the fact that I'm breaking this rule. However, if you'd like your cake to be a bit tighter, go ahead and add another egg or two. I personally wouldn't reduce the fat, because the fat helps coat the individual flour grains and helps eliminate any grainy quality that might come through from the rice flour.
Grant's Chocolate Cake
3.6 oz. brown rice flour
2.7 oz. corn starch or tapioca starch
2.7 oz. millet or sorghum flour
2.5 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. guar gum, or 1 tsp xanthan gum
3.0 oz. cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
12.0 oz. granulated sugar
4.0 oz. brown sugar
6 oz. water
9.0 oz. butter, melted or canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
4.0 oz water
6.0 oz eggs (3 large)
1. Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Place a baking stone on it and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix the flours, guar gum and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk by hand with a fork for 1 minute or at medium speed on a hand mixer for 30 seconds. Set the flour aside.
3. Put the sugar and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl. Heat 6 oz. of water (3/4 cup) to a simmer. Add the hot water to the sugar/cocoa mixture and mix to dissolve the sugar. Beat in the oil, vanilla, and salt at medium speed.
4. Add a third of the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Mix at low speed just until incorporated and then add in remaining flour a third at a time. Total mixing time for this step should be approximately 5 minutes.
5. Add the last 4.0 oz of water and the eggs to the batter and mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into one 9″ x 13″ cake pan or two 9″ cake pans. Be sure to grease and flour the pans first; or grease the pans and then line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Drop the pan onto the counter from a height of 4″ to remove any large air bubbles.
7. Place the cake in the oven on the stone and bake until the cake reaches an internal temperature of 209 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 30 minutes). If you do not have a digital baking thermometer, the cake should spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean, but moist. The cake should not pull away from the sides until after it is out of the oven.
How did your cake turn out? Be sure and let me know when you've had a chance to make it!

These are Wild Mass Guesses for the series Kingdom Hearts which have been confirmed by the games or by Word of God. If a WMG on one of the open pages is confirmed, please move it here.
The Possibility of other Key-Weaponry...Why not? Keyblades could just be the most common form, or maybe their default form, there might be some wielder/master out there who wields a Keyspear, or a keybow. Maybe 'Keyblades' take the form of what the wielder is best at. Just a thought...
Terra is Xehanort, Aqua becomes the sentience that chooses the Keyblade wielder, and Ven is Sora's spare heart.It addresses all the WMG and unexplained plot elements of the first few games, as well as Terra's noted similarity to Xehanort; Xenmas's addressing of Aqua's armor, and some of the cryptic comments he made are also explained by this. This could also explain why it went from MULTIPLE keyblades (Birth By Sleep) to one, much more powerful, form shifting Ascended/Sentient Weapon.
The plot of the next game featuring Sora will center around fixing Birth by Sleep's inevitable Downer Ending.Just listen to Ansem's lines in the Jump Festa '10 trailer. Now, this does not mean he will go back in time and make everything okay again. Rather, he will undo the bad things that happened. For example, if Terra does becomes Xehanort, Sora will try (keyword "try") to return him to his previous form. If Ven's heart is taken, Sora will try to get it back. Maybe he'll even make Pete a superhero again.
Xemnas knew he was Terra.And that why Xemnas came to see his "Friend" in Final Mix+ .
Axel's Other's name, Lea, is actually correct in the English phonetic form, and is meant to be part of the AxelRoxasXion Power Trio
Ven's heart is bound to/merged with Sora's heart.
Unarmed combatAt some point in the series, someone (my bet's on either Sora or Kairi) is going to lose their keyblade (again, in Sora's case). But as Sora says in the first game, "I don't need a weapon! My friends are my power!" Only this time, it'll be true - and a battle will be fought without the keyblade while still being effective, either barehanded or with another weapon. Sora and Kairi seem to be the most obvious choices - out of the wielders we've seen, Sora's been the most attached to the Power of Friendship, whereas Kairi, being a Princess of Heart, could very well weaponize her inner light to the point of not needing an actual keyblade. For extra points, combine this with any of the Vanitas-as-Big Bad theories above, especially ones that involve either him forging the Chi-Blade or just Sora losing his keyblade for whatever reason.
There is a third, as yet unknown, group of enemies, to oppose the Heartless and Nobodies.The Kingdom Hearts series loves to make references to trinities: Sora's ultimate team-up attack, the floor design in one of the rooms in the mansion outside of Twilight Town, even the number of members in the party. However, as it stands so far, there are only 2 groups of enemies: the Heartless (represented by the black heart wrapped in thorns) and the Nobodies (represented by the half cross, half inverted heart symbol... thing), which doesn't seem to match the pattern... unless there is a third group, which is, as yet, unknown. They already have their own symbol, as shown in the mansion outside of Twilight Town: the crown. Seeing as the Heartless are darkness, and Nobodies seem to fall in the middle of the Light/Dark spectrum, the logical assumption is that this third group is symbolic of light. One scenario is that, when a Heartless is created, the "goodness" that was lost from the heart to create the heartless goes off and becomes a new being, much like how the Nobodies are created from the now empty shell of people that succumbed to the darkness once their heart has left them.
We haven't seen the last of Vanitas.C'mon, he's practically Sora's evil twin. He gets multiple boss fights including the secret boss fight, which is more than what Xehanort got even if you count Terranort. He comes closer than anyone else to forging the ultimate keyblade, and despite Ven's best efforts, some part of him may still be in either his and/or Sora's heart. Nomura seems to love this guy, and with Sora running off on his own to "reconnect" everything, it'd seem like an interesting concept to have some part of him that he may not want to reconnect. Somehow, in some way, he'll be back.
Xemnas/Xehanort is the most incredible schemer in history.
Nobodies are something more than bodies.Contrary to what Yen Sid says, the more advanced Nobodies do indeed seem to have emotions, hopes, dreams, and all the basics of a true person; indeed, the biggest irony in the game that they wouldn't want them so much if they didn't already have them. One possibility is that the creation of a Heartless is more complex than just heart/body separation; pieces of each are left in the other. Another is that the separate pieces still share the same soul, which runs both at once.
Nobodies really can feel emotions.However, it takes extraordinary circumstances for them to really feel something. My guess is that Nobodies usually feel, at best, some sort of half-empty feelings but when they feel a real emotion, it is a pretty big deal for them. Example: in Re: Chain of Memories, after Axel frees Namin� and tells them to put on a good show for him, he stops, puts his hand to his heart, and muses to himself "Wait. I'm enjoying this." The fact that Sora's crew caused him to feel a real emotion is a big thing for him. Some other emotions may be real; such as Vexen's fear of death, but it's hard to be sure what they fake, and what they really feel. Yen Sid was right when he said that Nobodies can put on an act of having emotions; but he was wrong in saying that they can't feel.
Axel is dead.Because Square Enix has shown no mercy over permanently killing off popular characters before.
Xehanort will return.Nomura has confirmed that when a Heartless and its Nobody are defeated, they are reunited and reborn. Both Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody have been defeated, meaning that Xehanort has been reborn and is lurking somewhere out there.
Roxas can still feel emotions.In 358/2 Days, during Roxas' mission with Xigbar, Roxas keeps fretting about Castle Oblivion, worried that Axel's dead. Xigbar tells him that the quicker they get on with the mission, the sooner Roxas will find out the truth. Roxas replies "I know". But he still worries, even though he knows Xigbar is right. Remember what Axel said to Roxas about people who have hearts? He said that their emotions are irrational, that people with hearts can't help but feel a certain way. Not only is Roxas the only Nobody who gives a damn if one of his comrades dies, he worries about Axel irrationally and despite himself. Roxas is a unique Nobody; his heart's still around in the form of Sora. It's possible that his connection to Sora gives Roxas a rudimentary form of a heart. Definitely possible. Roxas shows more signs of emotions than every other Nobody put together, doubly so due to him not having memories and so the whole 'Faking it from memory' thing doesn't apply. In addition, there is Ven's heart to consider too.
Nobodies base their personalities around the memories of their old self.Which is the reason, why Roxas started out as a zombie, as he puts it himself in 358/2, and ended up developing a completly different personality from Sora, except for a few treads like hard-headedness and loyality to his friends.
Xion will at one point be brought back�As an antagonist boss fight while dressed suspiciously like V-13 from BlazBlue. She will be emotionless and robotic like around everyone else, but when Sora comes up she will be a creepy, bubbly, evil girl.
Miscellanious things that will happen in KHIII
Among the people Sora is connected to that he saves in the upcoming games, Axel will not be one of them.In the secret movie for re:coded, the people Sora will save all look up to the sky and whisper his name. When it gets to Roxas, Xion, and Axel on the clocktower, only Roxas and Xion say Sora's name, while Axel only looks up. In Birth by Sleep, Lea, Axel's Pre-nobody form, says that he likes to make friends and have them remember his name because in people's memories, he will live on forever. These moments are symbolic, and hint to the fact that Axel will not come back, but his memory will live on.
Xemnas's and Xehanort's Heartless's obsession with Kingdom Hearts comes from Master Xehanort
Xemnas's and Xehanort's Heartless's obsession with Kingdom Hearts comes from Master Xehanort's obsession with the X-BladeThe X-Blade is supposedly equal in power to Kingdom Hearts itself, which is the entire basis for this WMG.
Master Xehanort engineered the organization so he would have extra bodies without hearts to transfer his into.
The X in the X-blade and the X's of Organization XII are connected.
Dreams will play a major plot point in a future installmentWhether it's a spinoff or a canon game, they will. It'll be something like, dreams are projections of our heart's strongest feelings. When our hearts are filled with joy, we have good dreams, and when they are in distress, they are temporarily filled with darkness, and nightmares occur.
Kingdom Hearts 3D is partly or entirely Sora and Riku's Mastery Exam.The game appears to involve both Riku and Sora and the mastery exam is the only loose end besides Mickey's adventures before the final dance with Xehanort.
Mysterious Figure's Identity (Birth by Sleep)
Long List Ahoy
Facts about Mysterious Figure:
Braig will be Master Xehanort's next hostSo, Sora apparently has to save Terra. The only way to do this is to drive Master Xehanort out of Terra's body. However, Master Xehanort's body disappeared after he put his heart in Terra, so he'll neeed a new one. Now, if Braig's heartless was destroyed before Sora defeated Xigbar, then Braig could be back. Master Xehanort's heart will choose him as a host, and the player will be able to lay the beat down on the two most evil villains in the series at the same time. Whether Braig lets Master Xehanort possess him willingly or not is another question altogether.
Birth By Sleep: Final Mix will include a fight against Xehanort's Armor.And further, it will take place on Destiny Islands. We know that Xehanort used to have armor like the other keyblade masters, but discarded it when he fell into darkness, and also that he was originally from DI. In normal BBS, Destiny Islands is still accessible from the world map even though you can't land on it and nothing else plot-related happens there after the first visit. In the previous games you could never access it. The fact that it's still on the map just screams "Chekhov's Gun".
Heart fragments can grow into complete hearts.At the beginning of Days, Roxas acts zombie-like and is really zoned out. Throughout the game, he connects with Axel and Xion and becomes more normal. Xion also goes from zoning to acting like a normal person, and Axel seems to become friendlier. It is heavily implied throughout Days that Roxas, Xion, and Axel develop emotions. If Ven's heart went to Roxas when Sora stabbed himself (I have heard that Nomura confirmed this, but I have not seen the confirmation myself), then Ven's heart may have been able to help Roxas keep any fragments of heart that he kept from Sora from vanishing, in the same way that Sora stopped Ven's heart from vanishing. I also believe that Roxas's heart may have been able to influence Xion's and Axel's (supposedly nonexistent) hearts. In KH 1, Kairi was able to use her heart to revive Sora. My theory is that hearts can reach out and facilitate the growth of fragments of heart, usually through friendship. I think that human-looking Nobodies like Organization XIII retain their human form because they have fragments of hearts within them. It would explain why only people with strong hearts have human Nobodies, since people with strong hearts would be most likely to hold onto heart fragments. According to this theory, Axel has heart fragments, which grew into a fledgling heart through his interaction with Roxas and Xion. Roxas's heart grew through the same process.
Hearts aren't the center of emotions OR morality, but are instead what allow people to make meaningful connections with each other.Canon talks all the time about how, even if they've been separated from each other physically, friends will still always be with each other in their hearts, and always stay connected. It's a huge, over-arching theme across the games that "heart" and "friends" and "connection". So. . . what happens when you don't have a heart anymore? Well, Tarzan answered that pretty succinctly in KH 1: "No heart, no friends." As a result, Nobodies are completely cut off from other people emotionally. They're still completely capable of selfish emotions, but even if they try, they can't make meaningful, emotional connections with anyone else, as tragically demonstrated by Roxas's reaction to one of his best friends dying in his arms: "[If you die, then] who else will I have ice cream with? D:". No matter how much he might have wanted to, not even Roxas, who was "special" for a Nobody, was able to forge a deeper connection than that with the ones he wanted to keep the most. Note "wanted to keep", not "cared about", because, when it comes down to it, the end result is the same as the above theory about hearts and morality: Nobodies are sociopaths. They're physically incapable of "care" except in relation to themselves, and � for at least some of those who remember was it was like to care about others � it torments them.
The protagonist of the third game will be KairiBecause the writers won't be able to continue using Bag of Spilling via amnesia without mass-inducing groans and eye-rolls. Kairi, having the least amount of experience with the Keyblade, would be justified as starting at Level 1 with few abilities.
Possible voice actors for Frollo in Kingdom Hearts3dDue to the tragic passing of Tony Jay, it would be impossible to find someone to emulate his voice. However, here are some potential V As:

Resources for Getting Started with #PowerCLI Automation
Books - Training
I highly recommend the new PowerCLI book. http://www.powerclibook.com/ It is not really "light" reading but they do a great job of demonstrating common uses of PowerCLI. They also have all of the scripts available for download at:
I'm a big fan of Hal Rottenberg's book for getting started with PowerCLI. Hal provides a great PowerShell primer at the beginning and then flows you through ways you can use PowerCLI in your environment. I learn something new each time I pick it up (which means I clearly didn't read it thoroughly enough)
I have also checked out Hal's PowerCLI training from TrainSignal. Again, great overview and some deepdive as to what is possible with PowerCLI. Haven't completed this yet but what I've seen so far is excellent.
I have recently received a link from PowerShell.org that provides some free PowerShell eBooks. Check them out at:
If you have training dollars you can also take advantage VMware's PowerCLI training offering. Automatiom with vSphere PowerCLI [v4.x]
Also make sure you check out the PowerCLI Poster. It includes an organized listing of the cmdlets as well as tons of other PowerCLI references and resources. I'm a geek so I peek around at it from time to time to see if there is a cmdlet I haven't used before and get some information on it. This is how you learn.
- 4.1.1 - http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1696554-55551/Final-PowerCLI-4.1.1.pdf
- 5.0 - http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2011/09/powercli-poster-v50.html
One of the most valuable locations for information is with the PowerCLI community forums on VMware's website. The folks there are very helpful if you get stuck on something or need some guidance. Make sure you ask questions and award points for correct answers or assistance. It's not really cool to expect folks to write the script for you so try to go in with at least a start. Often you'll find that you get a response pretty quick on most things. You'll get accustomed to seeing LucD's name on there regularly. I have met him and confirmed he is not a robot, just an extremely talented and capable individual.
Pro Tip: If you are working in the PowerShell console and want to jump on the community site quickly simply use the cmdlet Get-PowerCLICommunity
There are some serious experts out there that are great people to follow. I personally try to contribute as much as I can on http://www.vtesseract.com but here's a list of folks you need to keep your eyes on. (Alphabetical order because I really can't prioritize them.

Writing the Code
I use PowerGUI most of the time and I highly recommend you get the VMware community PowerPack installed from http://powergui.org/entry.jspa?externalID=2551&categoryID=290 . It has a ton of prebuilt functions for getting environment info. I prefer PowerGUI because of the PowerPacks but I've used other editors such as PrimalScript and PowerWF's PowerSE.
PowerWF is a pretty rocking product if you're wanting to create some workflows with PowerShell and their PowerSE product is a good script editor.
While you're learning you can also use Onyx to capture commands from vCenter server tasks and learn how calls are made. You may want to wait until you've written a few scripts before going down that road but it can tell you how to perform vCenter tasks with PowerCLI. http://labs.vmware.com/flings/onyx
While I don't have an editor on my iPad or iPhone (app wish list, hint hint Quest and Sapien) I do have Sapien's iPowerShell and I use it regularly as reference, primarily when working on a blog post remotely or idle time in the car to learn more about different cmdlets. Again, this is what you have to do to learn. Yes I am a PowerShell dork. http://www.sapien.com/blog/2009/03/03/ipowershell-brings-powershell-help-to-iphone/
Windows Server 8 is introducing PowerShell v3 which is supposed to include a web access. Hoping this will include ability to load PowerCLI snapin.
Orchestrator is really good for automating process and workflow. For instance. Let's say that you get a request for a VM, you could conceivably have Orchestrator kick off creating a datastore, connecting it to vSphere, firing off the creation process, email requester, etc. I'm still trying to learn how it fits into a regular environment myself. This is a lacking on my part and not the Orchestrator team. What they are doing is enabling and I am confident it will be key for process automation as "cloud" becomes more relevant to organizations. The hardest part is identifying your regular workflows and then getting in there to create an automated process. There are other products out there that assist in workflow automation such as PowerWF and Tidal.
I am in regular contact with the author of the vCO book, Cody Bunch, and was able to meet him at VMworld. He provided me a couple of links that he said had valuable reads. I've included them below.
- http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-vCenter-Orchestrator-DS-EN.pdf
- http://www.vcoteam.info/
- http://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-orchestrator/overview.html
There is a great deal of material provided in this post and if you're getting started it can seem quite daunting. The best thing you can do is to simply start thinking about what you need to automate and start scripting away. The more you do the more things will make sense when you go back to review previous books or training materials. Please share valuable resources that you've used and I can update the post accordingly.

Just watched this one of the most awesome animated movie in 2013 which was entitled "Epic". This was just a little sneak peek about the movie. Well, it's all about a girl who decided to move on his father's house which was located in the middle of the woods. His father studies little tiny creatures for the reason that they really exists yet his daughter, refered to the girl, does not believed in this creatures and all that she wanted is to live a normal life with her father and her three legged dog ausie. Then, after she realizes that the little tiny creatures are really real. They were real since she experienced to be one of them to fulfill her mission for what had the queen last words said to her before the queen died. Hep hep, to know more about this fantastic movie just watch it and I' ll assure you your not wasting the time that you decided to watch it. It was also perfect for kids because you can also learn the importance of the forest to us humans and other living creatures that lives there.
Movie : Epic
I really liked the movie but I rated it 9 out of 10 stars because I do not liked the fact that how the love story between the leading man here and MK ended. They can't be together you know because they lived in different worlds and I hated that. T*T - maanster

Dear Paralegal Students:
When registration begins, you should be reviewing the courses you have already taken to see what you still need to take. For those of you who may have forgotten what is required by your program, we have attached links for both the certificate and the associate degree programs. Please note, with the exception of summer semester (nine weeks), each semester is comprised of two seven week terms (term 1 and term 2). Each LEG course in a specific semester will be offered in both term 1 and term 2 to enable you to take all the required courses in a specific semester.
Paralegal Associate Degree - http://www.tridenttech.edu/Paralegal.pdf
Paralegal Certificate - http://www.tridenttech.edu/Paralegal_cert.pdf.
An easy way to stay on track is to print out your program sequence sheet and scratch through the courses you have already taken and passed. You can verify the courses you have already taken by checking your transcript on TTC Express. To do this, go to www.tridenttech.edu, chose TTC Express, then TTC Express for credit students, then login, then Academic Profile, then Transcript. This will prevent you from signing up for a course you have already taken or forgetting to sign up for one you need.
Many of the paralegal courses are offered only certain semesters such as:
LEG 135 (Intro to Law and Ethics) Fall and Spring semesters
LEG 201 (Civil Litigation) Fall and Summer semesters
LEG 214 (Property ) Fall semester only
LEG 233 (Wills, Trusts and Probate) Fall semester only
LEG 120 (Torts) Spring semester only
LEG 132 (Legal Bibliography) Spring semester only
LEG 230 (Legal Writing) Spring semester only
{LEG 234 (Title Examination) Spring semester only

BUS 121 (Business Law) Offered every semester
LEG 213 (Family Law) Summer semester only
LEG 240 (Claims Investigation) Summer semester only
LEG 242 (Law Practice Workshop) Offered every semester, however this course requires 135 hours of internship time in a legal office, so it is recommended that it be taken in either the Fall or Spring semester of the second year rather than the summer semester. Discuss any questions regarding this with your advisor.
Most of the nonlegal, general education courses (English, History, Social Science, Speech, Math, Computers, etc.) are also offered every semester for those of you in the associate degree program.
Once you have figured out the courses you need, then consult either an OnCourse catalog of courses or go to the website and chose Course Search on main TTC menu to find the sections of each course that meet at the times and days that you need to figure out your schedule. When you have this written down, go to TTC Express and register yourself for classes. If you have never used TTC Express for registration, please read the following instructions.

Daren Kagasoff to be the next James Bond?
- By Jim Leap

- Last updated on
Hot news
- Rumor October 2014
- Babies October 29, 2014
Is Kagasoff set to be the next James Bond? Rumors that the producers are looking for someone slightly different to play James Bond emerged in October 2014. One of the names who keeps cropping up is Daren Kagasoff.
UPDATE 31/10/2014 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to Los Angeles wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Daren Kagasoff become the Seventh James Bond?
Kagasoff's star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008-2013). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Kagasoff now is – what next?
Three reasons Daren Kagasoff would be good for the James Bond franchise
- It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 27-year-old American?
- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Kagasoff.
- It would give Daren Kagasoff a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
This 'Kagasoff To Play James Bond' Rumor had the internet in a frenzy
Twitter was flooded again Thursday with loads of tweets related to the rumor. Some fans even launched an online Facebook page called We Want Daren Kagasoff for James Bond.
"His name is Kagasoff. Daren Kagasoff!"
— Alan Sepintree (@sepintree) October 30, 2014
"He was perfect as Ricky Underwood in The Secret Life of the American Teenager, he will be tremendous portraying James Bond."
— The Clear Observer (@clearobserver) October 30, 2014
"An American James Bond!?! Is it some kind of a joke?"
— Boris Kleinman (@UKBoris) October 30, 2014
"Now, this might be a bit of a controversial pick for the role. But think about it: Kagasoff has always been a skilled actor. He's also known for his wit."
— Claire Stone (@averageclaire) October 30, 2014
Rumors about Daren Kagasoff stepping into the role's next iteration have been floating about for a while now. He is characterized by being smooth, slick, handsome, rugged and charming. These are definitely the characteristics needed to play James Bond. Don't you agree?
Do you think Daren Kagasoff should be the next James Bond?

Doons wrote an answer about Scarpa NTN Binding on August 10, 2011
get the smaller, duh. It weighs less.
get the smaller, duh. It weighs less.
I have been in a search for a better BC and powder jacket. This fits the bill! I took 5 major spills in powder today and was dry as a whistle. The powder skirt is a must and is awesome. The velcro to tighten the sleeves is great. I bought a size L (usually wear a medium), which has turned out to be a great decision - i've been able to fit a wind layer and insulated jacket underneath on absolutely freezing days (in picture - 3 degrees on Thanksgiving). All day long I kept telling my husband how much I loved my jacket and how perfect it is for powder skiing. It's obviously great for other things as well - I've taken it cross country skiing also, which has been great because that is such a work out - you don't really want to wear anything heavy. I'd recommend it to anyone!
These are my third pair of goggles and they are by far my best pair ever. My second pair of women-specific goggles, these have a wider lens, which I appreciate. They fit great with my Giro Helmet, which I was a little concerned about. I have the Sensor Mirror lens which is awesome. Some that I have worn them, the days have started with super flat light and turned into a blue-bird days and it works great in both conditions. I have also worn them while working really hard, when my other goggles would always fog - and these haven't fogged on me yet! They are very reliable, which makes them VERY enjoyable! I love 'em!

I wear my Smith Heiress goggles with my Giro Helmet (M) and I have not had any problems. They both work really well together!
Love these. I put an AT setup on these skis and have had a blast with them! They have been great on the resort and in the Wasatch backcountry. From groomers to powder, they perform well. I couldn't be happier!

I love this jacket. I've worn it predominantly as a Spring resort skiing jacket. It kept me perfectly warm on the open lifts and moved with ease on the cruise down. It was even surprisingly dry on days when the snow would pound for a few hours - it didn't absorb the moisture even though it is obviously not created to be a waterproof layer. I do agree that the down side of the jacket is that the beautiful embellished stitching snags and breaks, but that seriously should be expected if you want to do anything more in it than wear it shopping.The jacket is pretty long in the torso and the arms, which is great. Although it is a little too long for me, but I'm border-line petite at 5'3. Just something to think about when purchasing.

3807 Wellington
Montreal, Quebec
Metro: De L'Eglise, Lasalle
Bus: STM 12, 21, 58, 61, 71, 78, 108
Visit: September 7, 2012
After welcoming a brand new school year and settling into the daily grind, it was finally time to unwind. What better way to do just that by having a new burger for the first time in nearly 3 weeks? Also, I couldn't think of anything better than having the third ever Mr. Lew's Burger Night. JoBlo has been a place that was high on my list of places to try and I was more than eager to see what the fuss was all about.
Located on the most well-known street in Verdun, JoBlo's appearance in early 2012 has made quite the dent in the burger scene. Boasting a variety of burgers that will definitely attract the interest of burgerheads from the entire island. After a short jaunt from the De L'Eglise metro station, you're going straight into quite the unique dining experience.
For this occasion, I managed to gather quite the group of individuals to share this rare Verdun burger eating experience. Among the group were the community managers for Yelp Montreal, Risa Dickens and Marie-Pier Rochon, who were the first subjects of my B2B interview a month ago. Also joining the fray was Amelie, who was an integral part of the second Burger Night at La Belle et la Boeuf and its subsequent re-visit. There also was a second half to the party, which I'll introduce in a bit.
I'd describe JoBlo as a bar, which happens to have a decent sized list of dishes you can order. You have to be quite careful when you enter this place. No, there won't be a throng of inebriated Norms coming at you, but quite a different onslaught. You have to be clear that you're not entering Sitzz. Even before we went inside, our first sight of confusion hit us. Was this the entrance to a restaurant? Apparently, JoBlo shares the same entranceway as a chair store. First of all, I had no idea a store selling only chairs was thriving in this city. If you think about it, it would only be a hop, skip, and jump from to a place to sit down after putting down the portions given by the restaurant.
The thing about organizing any large group gathering is making sure that everyone is going to get to the place in one piece, and I do mean one piece. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to have normal burger nights. In the first burger night, our reservation kept up waiting for nearly 45 minutes. The second burger night was full of hijinks, none of which I care to remember. This night was no different, as GBS history was made when we had the first ever long distance burger night.
Since JoBlo doesn't really take reservations, I decided to wait for the group right outside the restaurant. This worked fine for me, as the stress keeping up with changing guest lists wasn't worth the pain. When the majority of the expected people were gathered, we made our way into the restaurant and found a table. Little did we know, but the rest of our party was already in the restaurant.
This would be ample time to introduce them. The first member of that group has got probably the most unique Twitter handle I've ever come across in my 3 years on the site, @runningforbacon. It might not be interesting to a lot of people, but to me, a bacon fanatic, this is a top name. Joining her was @moultgard and another non-Twitter friend.
So, thinking that they weren't there yet, I whipped out my phone and started tweeting to give an indication of where we were. Alright, whipped isn't the accurate description of how I use phones and social media. It's more like dragging an anvil and taking an hour to type out a short message. Once the tweet was received, some awkward waving occurred. Our half of the group had no idea what was going on. Once everything cleared up, we tried to rectify the situation.
Our server, who was quite good, was our next step to making this right. At the beginning of the evening, we were offered to have the tables turned to fit the entire group. After thinking about it, we thought we were fine as we were. When we figured out that everyone was here and that the group grew, our collective minds started spinning to find a solution. When I managed to get the server's attention and proposed out idea to merge the groups, it was shot down because there was concern that it would be too crowded. Now, our solution was the same one that was proposed at the start by the same person who just shot us down, go figure.
I did what any good host would've done in this situation and went to visit the second half at the bar. We shared a few pleasantries and my profuse apologies. At the end of the evening, we did gather at our table to, at least, end the night the way it should have started. All this to say that I'm still needing to figure out how to have a normal burger night.
As the meal progressed, I couldn't quite help but notice something really out of the ordinary. JoBlo has got some of the most unique decor I've ever seen in a restaurant. I don't think there's another place in Montreal that can say they have a giant horse lamp.
If that wasn't quite enough, there was something that I didn't notice until the very end. Right behind me, the entire night, was another lamp of a more military nature. With recent events in mind, I'm going to leave it at that.
Up to this point, everything about the decor and the service was quite impressive. Even though we were not really able to enjoy it all together, we made the best of it. I could probably stop the post right here and tell you that you have to come, but this isn't about how to sit for 2 hours, it's about the food.
Bacon Bullets
These magical gems are jalepenos stuffed with cheese and rolled with bacon. Included with the ten silver bullets on Montreal dining is maranara and sour cream.
Before I get to what will probably be one of my top personal finds in 2012, I have to mention the name, 'Appeteasers.' Teasing is just right. Some of the items on this list are enough to make you want to take out a mortgage so you can fund your daily consumption of these items. I'll be honest, it actually took me more than one reading of this list to find what we were eventually going to order. The second that the words 'bacon bullets' were dropped into the conversation, you should've seen how it put everyone on the same page. The only shame is that there weren't more of them on the plate.
What you get here is a union of two of the best ingredients to have on anything, bacon and cheese. The jalapenos are nearly inconsequential because they are so covered with awesomeness that it wouldn't really matter. You could probably wrap the giant horse lamp's offerings in bacon and cheese without missing a beat.
We all had about 2 and half of these bullets. The first one I had didn't have that spicy kick to it. It wasn't until the second one where I could really feel the spice of the jalapeno. It was this dish that made me decide then and there that JoBlo was quite the place to be. In retrospect, I should've quit while I was ahead, more on that later.
The following are the other burgers and sandwiches that were consumed later on. I would like to apologize now if I'm not able to give you punch by punch recaps of what they were like, as I didn't eat them. What I will say is that the portions are quite heavy and a normal person will have trouble finishing them.
Gros Porc Burger
This was @runningforbacon and her selection for the evening. This burger contains mac & cheese, onions, ketchup, and bacon over pork.
What needs to be said is that the pork dishes came out on top of the other burgers consumed that night. As you'll see later, the three who ordered beef, me included, lost a bit.
Miss Roby Burger
This was @moultgard and her selection for the evening. This burger contains Swiss cheese, apples, onions, coleslaw, mayo, and bacon over pork.
Le Mechant Boris
This was @AmelieFF and her selection for the evening. This is a smoked meat sandwich with sauerkraut, Russian sauce, and Swiss cheese over a grilled Russian bread.
Detective Burger
This was @risadickens and her selection for the evening. This burger contains cheddar, caramelized onions, pepper sauce, and bacon.
Gros Porc Burger Take 2
This was @mariepierrochon and her selection for the evening. This is the same burger as above, though without the ketchup.
Le Madam Beauchamp
This burger contains coleslaw, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cheddar, and bacon.
The choice of this burger was quite simple. This is my kind of selection and probably one of the simplest ones on the menu. Plus, with recent events in the province of Quebec, is there a better name for a burger?
The choice of the mashed potatoes was not only a personal one, but a wise one in the end. Looking at the overwhelming amount of fries on the other plates, it was the safest bet for me. It wasn't an easy order to make, but I insisted, even after the server told me it would be extra. I'm always willing to pay extra to add something I love to my order, let's get that straight.
The potatoes themselves were quite good. In a way, I'm tough on mashed potatoes. They have to be presented to me in a certain way for me to be impressed. This batch wasn't half bad, but it was the right complement for the main dish that night.
Now, the burger presented to me looked quite good when you think of aesthetic qualities. It wasn't until a few moments later, after the overabundant taking of pictures concluded that I noticed this. The tomatoes, pickles and onions were on the side. I don't think that in my previous 156 burgers, that I have ever seen this happen. The fact that the bun was already on top and the rest of the burger is outside was strange to me. I wonder why this was done.
The burger's ingredients, in my opinion, were well chosen and fit quite well. The coleslaw was quite the replacement for your normal lettuce selection. Even if the shredded cabbage was in smaller pieces, I didn't find myself losing so much of it. The bacon and the cheese provided the real taste of the burger, where other more important components did not do their job properly.
The first main issue with the burger, which was a common problem for the group, was the bun. With so much loaded in all the burgers that night, the bun wasn't strong enough to hold it all. When that happens, you find yourself trying to push everything back in. You will lose all that should remain in the burger. The problem found itself in the bottom bun and that's probably the most important half of the bread.
Putting the issues with the bun aside, it was the beef that was the biggest issues and in the end, the deciding factor. This was a point of contention for the entire night and by the end, a consensus was reached by all of us. To be straight, the beef had to no real taste to it. There was a point where we asked the server what was in the beef and the answer was really not satisfactory enough. For its size, you should have some grease coming out, but there was none to be found.
The consistency of the beef was the part that we zeroed in on. We speculated whether or not we really were having beef. After one of the members of our group tasted the pork, we ruled that out as the problem. The meat had a grainy feeling to it, much like you were eating meatloaf. For a burger, you don't really want to have something that fine. It pretty much sank the entire burger and nothing could pick it up.
The quality of the beef burgers that night was a real shame because everything, from beginning to end, in every other category, was top notch. When the pork burgers and smoked meat sandwich were met with great approval, we were really disappointed with the standard beef options.
Final Verdict
JoBlo is located in the signature part of Verdun and caters to the unique clientele that can be found in the area. Regardless of one aspect of the evening, I still believe that a visit to this interestingly decorated place is a must. When you're surrounded by some of the most interesting people in Montreal, all the while sharing the most awesome bacon bullets, you can't go wrong.

10/03/2014 - Your Reallocation Questions Answered, USICH Releases Reallocation Tool
By Jay Melder
Reallocations will help communities make the system changes needed to end homelessness, and in this year's Continuum of Care NOFA, there is once again a strong emphasis on reallocations. As in FY 2013, HUD is allowing reallocations of funds to new permanent supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness and rapid re-housing for families with children. HUD and USICH encourage CoCs to take full advantage of reallocations, shifting funds away from underperforming or less cost-effective programs and toward evidence-informed models.
09/24/2014 - Partnering with Landlords to End Homelessness
by Mark Putnam
People experiencing homelessness need homes. This is the simple solution to ending homelessness, right? The complexity comes in finding, and funding, the homes. Read on to find out how stakeholders in King County, Washington, are succeeding at both.
09/17/2014 - Building Systems to End to Homelessness: HUD's FY 2014 Continuum of Care Program Competition
The Notice of Funding Availability for the Fiscal Year 2014 Funds in the FY 2013 - FY 2014 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition asks CoCs to continue investing in what works and to target interventions appropriately to needs. It calls on CoCs to make the final push to reach our goal of ending chronic homelessness, make greater progress on family homelessness, and build the partnerships needed to reach and engage Veterans and youth experiencing homelessness in services. Although the policy priorities and many aspects of this NOFA remain the same as in FY 2013, there are also some changes and new elements.
On Friday, September 19, USICH is hosting a webinar to help CoCs understand the FY 2014 NOFA and suggestions on how to make it successful. Meanwhile, here are some key highlights that CoCs should know.
09/08/2014 - A Sea Change in Fresno's Homelessness Crisis Response
The 25 Cities Effort is designed to help communities intensify and integrate their local efforts to end Veteran and chronic homelessness. Fresno launched its local 25 Cities Effort in May 2014, setting a goal to house 60 high-priority individuals. Local stakeholders, however, were in for a surprise when one activity at an introductory meeting challenged everything they thought they knew about working together to connect individuals in need with housing. Here's what they learned.
08/21/2014 - Responding to the Crisis of Homelessness
At an individual level, the turmoil that comes from not having a safe place that is home is a crisis. It is a crisis that without adequate resolution gets worse. Although there are programs that provide housing and services for people, we will never have an adequate response that is at the pace and scale needed as long as it depends on people in crisis being required to navigate multiple programs in an attempt to get their needs met. Responding in a person-centered way to homelessness requires that programs are operating as a system. Making this shift is not simple, but it is being done in more and more communities throughout the country, and a systems approach is essential to achieving an end to homelessness.
08/11/2014 - Inspired by People: New Report Offers Alternatives to Criminalization
Without housing options, people often are forced to rely on culverts, public parks, streets, and abandoned buildings as places to sleep and carry out daily activities that most reserve for the privacy of their own home. As communities recognize and struggle with the fact that people without homes often live in public spaces, multiple strategies arise. Unfortunately, many of these strategies include policies that criminalize homelessness. In a new report, In the Public Eye, author Lucy Adams, of Australia's Justice Connect and guest blogger at USICH elevates the conversation.
07/25/2014 - Connect with USICH at the NAEH Conference
Next week, the National Alliance to End Homelessness will host its annual conference in Washington, DC, convening policymakers and practitioners who are working across the country to prevent and end homelessness. The three day event will offer more than 100 workshops and sessions and will feature plenary remarks from First Lady Michelle Obama, in-coming HUD Secretary Julián Castro, Senator Cory Booker, and USICH Executive Director Laura Zeilinger. USICH and federal partners are looking forward to participating in conversations with stakeholders in preconference and workshop sessions throughout the week. We hope that this guide to our participation will help our partners connect with the USICH team at the conference. We're looking forward to seeing you.
07/24/2014 - The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Is Law
by Eric Grumdahl, USICH Policy Director
For many people confronting homelessness, employment can mean the difference between housing and homelessness. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), signed into law by President Barack Obama on Tuesday, fosters local innovation and focus on providing employment supports for people experiencing homelessness, by clarifying that the central purpose of the workforce system is to support people with significant barriers to employment. In doing so, WIOA and the President's job-skills agenda will accelerate progress on ending homelessness.
07/10/2014 - New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu Announces Ambitious Plan to End Veteran Homelessness
by Jamie Keene, USICH Communications Intern
Once the city with the highest rate of homelessness in the country, today New Orleans has reduced homelessness to levels that are lower than before the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. By overcoming incredible challenges, New Orleans has shown that ending chronic and Veteran homelessness is possible in every American city.
07/09/2014 - Supportive Services for Veteran Families: A Powerful Tool to Keep Veterans and Their Families Home
by Peter Nicewicz, USICH Management and Policy Analyst
Based on previous analysis, we already knew that the VA's Supportive Services for Veteran Families program is not only effective, but it is cost-effective as well. It now costs only about $2,400 to serve each Veteran household through the program, a 12 percent decrease since its first year of operations.
So what makes SSVF such an effective program in ending and preventing homelessness for Veteran households? There are several key ingredients.

Our research team at MITRE has been looking into BIOS security for the past
couple years and starting to publish our results in the last year. We
described BIOS exploits and an in-BIOS defensive system called BIOS
Chronomancy at venues like BlackHat and ACM CCS. We also released a free
tool called Copernicus[1] which lets you detect if a BIOS is writable, and
dump the contents of the BIOS from a Windows system (which makes
enterprise-wide configuration and integrity checking possible.)
But the question is, let's say you have a BIOS dump and it shows
differences. How are you going to interpret those differences? How do you
distinguish natural changes from malicious ones? We wanted to get a basic
inspection capability out there, but we recognized that people were going
to need to know a lot more about system internals, hardware quirks, and
UEFI before they'd be able to make full use of it. So we made a class to
help bootstrap people faster. Currently the class is scheduled for
CanSecWest[2] and Syscan[3] (and the prices are going up starting Feb 1).
It would be nice if people wanted to understand how the deep system
architecture worked for it's own sake, because we of course think it's
super interesting and fulfilling to know things others don't. But hopefully
the news of the past couple months has made people realize that "out of
sight, out of mind" isn't a great strategy for BIOS security. First there
was #badBIOS (which was kicked off by Dragos experimenting with
Copernicus[4]). Then there was NSA's defensive side saying they had caught
the Chinese making BIOS bricking attacks[5]. Then there was NSA's offensive
side being caught having their own BIOS backdoor capabilities[6]. And of
course there were a whole lot of people letting their FUD flags fly around
all of it.
So if you'd like to get a more technical and quantitative view of what the
BIOS/SMM security landscape looks like, you should check out our classes
and watch for talks by Corey Kallenberg, John Butterworth, and myself over
the next 6 months where we'll be describing 2 new BIOS
memory-corruption-to-reflash exploits, 2 new SecureBoot-breaking tricks,
and trustworthy computing extensions to Copernicus that will counter many
classes of attacks against BIOS dumping software that would let an attacker
hide his BIOS presence.

NAPLES, Fla.- Plans to reopen Clam Pass in Naples are moving forward.
On Friday, a Naples engineering company submitted plans for a 45-foot dredge. It also calls for the removal of 20,000 cubic yards of sand, that will then be used for beach renourishment.
The Pelican Bay Services Division is expected to send this plan to Collier County commissioners for approval on Tuesday. If that happens, leaders think a permit could be issued within the month.

Who knew the fashion industry and sneaker fanatics had overlapping tastes? Since its inception in 2004, Common Projects has been getting praise from both spheres. The designers, Peter Poopat and Flavio Girolami, got their start by trying to create the perfect sneaker. They bring their graphic and industrial-design backgrounds to create shoes and accessories that integrate minimal utilitarian design with luxury materials like hand-stitched Napa leather.

Art Appreciation
In a new book, acclaimed Irish authors choose a painting from the National Gallery and explain why it resonates with them. Here, Christine Dwyer Hickey remembers the day her passion for The Goose Girl was ignited
I came across the National Gallery quite by accident when I was about 13 during a long cold spell of school absenteeism. The British call this "playing truant", and that was the term favoured by the head nun who finally snared me in the corner of her office, snarling and hissing like an angry cat until I broke down and confessed to everything. In those days adults never asked why – you were disobedient and you were a liar and that was that. And so I had "truant'" to add to the long list of my shortcomings.
A more popular term – the one most favoured by practitioners themselves – is "going on the hop" or even, "going on the bounce". Jolly phrases both, implying many splendid things such as adventure and defiance but above all else, comradeship. There is risk, yes – but with the risk comes a certain euphoria. There are no giddier schoolgirls, than schoolgirls on the bounce.
The word mitching – at least, I have always felt – holds a slightly different meaning. A mitcher is someone who tends to go it alone and does so on a regular – even compulsive basis. The mitcher wanders through cold city streets, no one with whom to share pleasure or risk; to provide company in a café or to sit alongside on a park bench. Mitching is about trudging around waiting for the hours to pass. It's also about loneliness and fear. Fear of being caught, fear of going to school. Sometimes even fear of going home. In my day I was a champion mitcher.
My parents knew plenty of painters and as a small child I had been in artists' studios on several occasions. Harry Kernoff had painted a rather gruesome portrait of my mother. And there had been two artistic friends of my father both named Robert, who drank in McDaid's and had a paint-splattered studio nearby, the air heavy with an exotic scent of oil and white spirits. At one point my father was even a part owner of a small gallery in Monkstown. But for some reason – and this seems strange to think now, I had never been into a gallery and I'm not sure I even knew what a gallery was.

On Our Radar
New York street fashion photographer BILL CUNNINGHAM is said to hate the 2010 documentary about him because he is now so well known that people stop him all the time as he moves around the city on his bicycle trying to do his job. Recently, he said, "I think the fashion world needs to come to grips with reality. The reality is you have the whole country electronically connected. They're educating the insides of their heads, as they should, and not [dressing] the outside with a fancy hat or a dress. Simple clothes, that's key, and I think that's what the fashion world should really think about."

It happens to all of us at various times during our lives—an epiphany. While the word "epiphany" can carry religious connotations there are accepted secular definitions that range from the sudden manifestation or perception of the fundamental nature or meaning of something; an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking (like keeping sharp objects out of my hands); an illuminating discovery, realization, or disclosure. (I always keep two of my favorite online friends handy for such enlightenment—Merriam and Webster.)
For starters, I was in the garage the other night when a series of revelations struck. I always find it fascinating how these thoughts of completely and totally different nature pop up when you're fully engulfed in a project 180 degrees removed. I was in one of those "fully involved" moments, extricating my stuck fingers from between the recently acquired Frank Wallic seat and its riser and my other hand wedged between the riser and floorboard of my Nostalgia Speed & Cycle Model A pickup. It's true that this experience was both eventful and painful, yet I have no idea how I had the time or presence of mind to think of anything else—but I did.
The first revelation should be obvious—I'm the greatest risk to my own wellbeing. The second, and this took a few moments of inactivity to think through, the younger guys coming into our rodding world aren't building the cars they wanted or remember when they were young (the way we do) because these cars didn't exist in the automotive world as readily as they did for us. Many of the younger rodders remember K-cars, the first minivans, and the advent of onboard computers filling their first automotive experiences. For those of us who are "north" of middle age our experiences were more day-to-day hands-on experiences, one of a visceral nature, with this rapidly evolving marvel—the automobile. The third, and all of us share this story, the number of people we have met during our lives—once!
In my 40-plus years as a car-enthusiast journalist and the several decades I spent as a kid learning about cars and as a sweeper at Disneyland, I have met literally tens of thousands of people—the vast majority of whom I have met only once and have never seen or heard from again. This thought is a sobering one and a bit of a bummer. How many of those individuals could have become good friends or individuals I would have benefitted from their experiences or maybe I could have helped them? (Senior Editor Ron Ceridono says, "The reason you haven't heard from them a second time is because they are avoiding you." Ceridono tends to be direct with his opinion of my abilities and charisma, or lack thereof. Point taken, I'm sure there's a good deal of avoidance occurring.) But I can't help myself to stop from time to time after one of these isolated conversations and wonder to myself as they walk off, "Will I ever see him (or her) again?"
While attending the 30th Hot Rod Reunion hosted by the Shades of the Past Car Club in Pigeon Forge this past summer I had one of these cherished moments that make attending rod runs all the more meaningful. It was late Saturday night when I found myself in the hotel parking lot reminiscent of what I had done so many times in my early years. This time there were three of us, Rick Love of Vintage Air and John McLeod of Classic Instruments. The three of us were commenting it had been a while since we were up so late just hanging out in the parking lot of a rod run—and eating several robust scoops of ice cream. We proceeded to solve all of the world's problems—hot rod and social—and even solved a few problems I'm sure others aren't aware of. Without thinking about it the three of us enjoy an enduring friendship that has covered decades and this impromptu moment allowed us to reconnect, relive, and relish why we work and play in this industry.
I doubt any of us plan it that way as I'm pretty sure we figure we will see new and old acquaintances at another event or, at the very least, probably back here next year. But after 40-plus years in the biz I've come to the realization that one must make an effort in the here and now because all too often second chances don't happen and time is getting shorter. It's apparent to me that I have less magazine time that lies ahead then I have already experienced. It makes me all the more cognoscente to cherish the times I have with others for it truly may be the last time I see someone.
I guess it's important to make the most of our decades-long friendships and never take them for granted, as others may last but for a moment. Of course, it's also a good idea to keep one's fingers out of tight and sharp places.
