Benedetta has a wonderfully located B&B. The breakfast buffet was great and the hosts were kind and attentive. The room was just as it was on the picture. We had a wonderful time at your place, thanks for that! The only things why I didn't give 5 stars were the shared bathroom and the stairs we had to climb with our suitcases.
Posizione ottimale, comodissima soprattutto per uno che arriva in pulmann, camera con TV , arredata con gusto, colazioni super assortite,ottimi dolci , chiavi in mano e piena indipendenza. Complimenti !!!!
Wir waren nicht im Zentrum sondern in einer Wohnung bei der Porta Romana untergebracht, weil das für uns praktischer war. Unser Zimmer lag ruhig, war frisch renoviert und hell, die mit Morgensonne schien rein und die Vögel zwitscherten. Das Bad hätten wir uns mit anderen Feriengästen teilen müssen, aber wir waren dort allein. Wenn wir etwas vermissten oder Hilfe brauchten, konnten wir darum bitten. Es gab ein italienisches Frühstück mit vielen verschiedenen Kuchen und auf unsere Bitte hin auch frisches Obst. Wir wünschen Benedetta und ihrem Partner Glück und Erfolg mit ihren Gästen.
Ottimo appartamento nel cuore di Siena.
Comodo e pratico, ideale per 4 persone.
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Ci tornerei sicuramente !
appartamento comodissimo in centro a siena. comodo, spazioso. massima disponibilità da parte di Benedetta.
Es war einfach fantastisch und alles hat gut und unkompliziert geklappt, ich würde jederzeit wieder hinfahren. Die Lage war super nicht weit vom Zentrum entfernt.

At least for next two years. (By that time, they already have another hit anime and eventually forget about K-ON!) |

Stupid question, but I'm guessing we'll get a series 3 with the girls in college. No way that this would be ignored, considering the series' popularity. |

There are many hit animes airing after K-ON! (Madoka, for example) but K-ON! is still hot as ever (at least in some places I've visited regularly). moreover when the movie came out~

It is one thing to do more Haruhi (which will sell) or more FMP (which might not) and it is another thing to make a new show that may or may not sell well (Nichijou might not be all that successful, but it is amusing).
K-On will (like Haruhi) sell, but in addition to this they will get massive numbers of CD singles and album sales in addition to te normal DVD/BR sales and sales of figures and the like. It is the music that is like printing money on top of making money they got from DVD sales. This in turn I assume as boosted the manga sales to the point where it was restarted, not just in one, but in two magazines. I'm hoping for more on the new girls when Azusa's part comes out in the next week or two. Then maybe something for Mugi to do in college a few weeks after that.

The anime did exactly what is was supposed to do: promote Kakifly's manga. Of course, sales are nowhere near the top 3 of all time, but I'm sure they're a lot better than before the anime at the very least.
Anyway, I hope we'll learn more about who's gonna play what in the next chapter.

Yea, I think that should paint most of the picture but I'm betting Mugi-chan does see Sumire as a wee sister of sorts.
Just a pity there wasn't any small hints from before, injecting a character at that point still feels a little odd but Sumire's win factor brushes over that pretty well. I just hope we get more from both Mugi-chan and Sumire in following chapters.

K-ON! already ended in such nice, warped with beautiful ribbon of the 5th symphony (if I may said) Well, in short: Let it go, dude. Even though there is new manga chapter, I doubt it will be the same as before. nb: I would like to miss it, rather than got tired of it. |

Wouldn't it be four since Sumire doesn't enter until after the others graduate? (If it was an American High School, Sumire would be a Freshman when Mugi was a Senior).
Naw, I'm thinking of something off...I keep taking the starting date as one instead of zero.

Either way she's a few years younger so still falls into what I think that Sumire is basically imouto-chan to Mugi-chan I'd love to see a over protective Mugi-chan It's just a pity we don't get to see any of the anime original characters make an apperance, hopefully if another anime appears we get to see some of the old classmates, still got huge love for Hime-chan!

I have, however, already done my best to compile and source for the most current and accurate information.

Chapter 1: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
They're probably going to announce who got what part."
Mikey spoke against background cafeteria sounds of talk and laughter, clattering dishes, and scraping chairs.
"In assembly," she said. "In..." she looked at her watch, compared it with the clock on the wall, "twenty minutes, or maybe fifteen. Are you nervous?"
Mikey Elsinger and Margalo Epps claimed to have been best friends since the first day of fifth grade, which wasn't exactly true. It could have been if they had been willing to modify their claim with an almost -- best friends since almost the first day -- but neither one of them wanted to be modified, or to be a modifier, either.
"Why did you try out for the play, anyway?" Mikey asked. Margalo wasn't the kind of person who tried to get people to notice her by putting herself up on a stage, or out on a tennis court. What had gotten into her?
Margalo said, "It's Jennet Jourdemayne," which explained nothing to anybody other than herself, but Margalo didn't intend anybody to learn her secret reason, not even Mikey. Especially since Mikey was the last person who'd sympathize.
"It's because I told you last year you were a good actress."
Margalo welcomed the wrong guess. It was bad enough having this horrible hopeless crush on a teacher, but it would be ten times worse if anybody found out about it. And what if he found out about how she felt? Margalo's whole body blushed hot at that thought. It wasn't as if she didn't know that no healthy-minded grown-up man would want a fourteen-year-old girlfriend, even if he wasn't already married. She knew that. But she still hoped, and she couldn't believe how stupid that was. But as long as nobody knew -- absolutely nobody, not even Aurora -- and Margalo trusted her mother, but she still wasn't going to tell her -- because as long as she was the only one who knew, she was safe.
So Margalo didn't tell Mikey that her guess was way off. But neither did she say it was right on. Instead, she looked mysterious, with a little smile that almost admitted it matched by eyebrows that absolutely denied it. In fact, Margalo was enjoying herself. Even if the secret you know is about yourself -- and mostly just makes you miserable -- still, knowing something nobody else even suspects will increase your self-confidence. Secrets are like that. Besides, it isn't every day you can use the same facial expression to irritate somebody twice.
Mikey knew this trick of Margalo's. She took a gloppy spoonful of chocolate pudding into her mouth, closed her lips firmly, and stared back at her friend while she pushed pudding out between her teeth, then sucked it back onto her tongue, then swallowed it.
Margalo counterpunched. She peeled back the skin on her banana, peeling it down carefully, strip by strip, taking each strip no more than a third of the way down at each peeling, carefully rotating the banana as she carefully, methodically, peeled it.
They played out their two-man scene to their audience of two until Mikey got bored, and broke eye contact, and groused, "Next thing, you'll be going to the dance. With a date."
Margalo knew better. "I'm not even invited to parties."
"Yeah, but neither am I, and I'm a good athlete." Then Mikey wondered, "We don't want to be invited to their parties, do we? Do you? I don't. The stuff that goes on -- "
"Definitely squalid," Margalo agreed.
Mikey and Margalo tended to agree about things. Their quarrels were mostly for style, not substance. They had them because otherwise life would be too tedious, and discouraging. From the start junior high had been bad, and this year it had only gotten worse. In eighth grade school seemed to be all about couples and love and/or sex and/or everything-in-between.
Everything-in-between covered a lot of territory. There were crushes, for one, or a girl would have a thing about a boy. Boys liked girls. Boys and girls really liked one another, or really cared for, really cared about one another. But was it love?
Mikey and Margalo had discussed it -- of course. Their level of accomplishment in love-and-sex-and-everything-in-between was the same: Never been on a date, never been kissed. It was their attitudes that differed. Mikey was mostly outraged -- What's the big deal? Who cares? Whereas Margalo projected scientific detachment -- Aren't human beings bizarre creatures? They had their different attitudes and they each liked having the differing attitudes they had, while at the same time they both agreed that nobody understood either sex or love. But wasn't it curious, as Margalo pointed out, that there was a sex-ed unit in gym, but no love-ed unit in any other class?
They also agreed that they didn't plan to be kept ignorant. As Mikey pointed out, ignorance isn't bliss, it's not knowing something. Not knowing something always put you at a disadvantage, in Mikey's opinion, and that was not where she cared to be.
But it wasn't easy to find out anything about sex, or love, or everything-in-between, especially if you weren't invited to parties. That meant you had to get your field information from secondary sources, and it was Margalo's opinion that people often avoided telling the truth, especially the whole truth and nothing but, about those subjects.
As far as they could tell, the parties seemed to be about slow dancing, close dancing, and long bouts of kissing in darkened rooms. They were about almost getting caught by parents. At the parties maybe there was beer, maybe pot, probably cigarettes, so you could learn how to drink stuff and smoke stuff, things you needed to know for high school. Maybe you'd get fallen in love with at a party -- and everybody wanted a chance to get fallen in love with -- or maybe you'd find someone really special. Mikey and Margalo collected stories about the parties, and rumors, and reports, and they considered them. "I don't believe her, do you?" Margalo would ask, while Mikey fulminated, "Catch me."
Another useful source of information was Mikey's mother, the ex-Mrs. Elsinger, once again Ms. Barcley. Margalo had elevated Ms. Barcley to an educational experience, so she kept herself current with what Mikey's mother was getting up to, at work, at play. "Did you talk to your mother this weekend?" she asked.
"I was watching the Australian Open."
This did not interest Margalo. She'd already heard her fill on that topic from Mikey. Also, it did not answer her question. "But did you talk to her?"
"She's still crazy about this new boyfriend."
"She's always crazy about them, isn't she?"
"It's just my father she couldn't be in love with," Mikey observed.
"You know, all of these boyfriends have been rich and ambitious and already successful, which your dad just isn't. If you think about them, they drive late-model cars, dress
in suits and polish their shoes. They take her to four-star restaurants, they take her away for fancy weekends -- your dad didn't do any of those things."
"I just wish she didn't make me meet them."
"Mudpies, Mikey. You're always talking about the places you eat at."
"Besides, this one's much older than she is."
Margalo stared at her friend, who was being the same person she had always been, irritable and impatient and self-confident. Who cares? about summed up Mikey, in a plaid flannel men's shirt (a new fashion low for Mikey) and her baggy cargo pants (a long-gone style, but Mikey either hadn't noticed that or -- more likely -- didn't care). Not noticing things was a big part of Mikey, especially things having to do with people. Margalo knew this about her friend, and sometimes she was really grateful for it. Like now, in the matter of this...thing that was such a big secret part of Margalo's life, ruining it and making it wonderful. After a minute of staring she told Mikey, "People can love people who are older than them," adding for safety, "or younger."
"What do you know about it?" Mikey demanded.
"More than you think," Margalo answered.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Mikey demanded.
Margalo wasn't about to answer that question. Instead, she said, "Your mother keeps having serious relationships. Do you think she's having sex with all of them? Do you think she's in love with all of them?"
"Dad hasn't had even one girlfriend," Mikey said.
"I don't think you can fall in love that often," Margalo decided.
"He's been fixed up. People saying, come for dinner to meet, come to a party to meet. But he hasn't been on a date he asked someone out on," Mikey said. "Not a date of his own."
"Not really in love," Margalo said.
"Do you think there's something wrong with him?" Mikey asked.
"I think there's something wrong with her," Margalo said.
"You know, you probably won't get the part," Mikey said. "Jennet Whoever."
"Thank you for your kind wishes."
"Get real, Margalo. Do you expect me to want you to? You know that if you're in the play, you'll be rehearsing all the time, from now until the performance. Which isn't until May."
"But you're in basketball anyway, or tennis, so why should you care?"
"Because if you're rehearsing, who'll sell our Chez ME cookies?" Last year, after the success of Mikey's cookies in the seventh-grade bake sales, Mikey and Margalo had continued baking and selling cookies. They liked being in business. Margalo welcomed the income and Mikey welcomed the work. It didn't suit Mikey's plans to have Margalo be unavailable for the spring cookie business. "And you won't be able to see my tennis matches," she added. "After I make the team. Again."
That again made them pause to smile at each other. After brief and unspoken mutual congratulations and admirations, they got back to their quarrel.
Margalo said, "I can do more than one thing at a time, you know."
"And baby-sitting jobs too? That's three things."
"I can count," Margalo said.
"I guess you're pretty confident," Mikey grumbled.
"You're the one who keeps telling me to think like a winner."
"I never said you," Mikey objected. "I meant me."
Margalo gathered up her lunch wrappers and put them into the brown paper bag. Mikey piled her dirty dishes back onto the tray. But neither one of them made a move to get up. They were in no hurry to get to an all-school assembly.
"So if you do get this part, do you have to kiss someone?"
"What is this sudden interest in kissing?" Margalo asked.
"What makes you so sure you'll be picked?" Mikey asked.
"I'm not." The only thing Margalo was sure of was that she could hear Jennet Jourdemayne's voice in her head, speaking the lines in a cool-headed, intelligent, courageous way. She hadn't even thought of trying out until Mr. Schramm told her she reminded him of Jennet Jourdemayne. Mr. Schramm had been in a production of The Lady's Not for Burning out in Oregon, he'd said; he'd played Thomas Mendip; this was before he became a family man and turned in his actor's equity card for a teaching certificate. He was glad to see that they were still reading it in schools, he told her. But didn't she have a class to get to? He wouldn't want to make Margalo late for class, he'd said, and asked, why didn't she try out for Jennet?
"What if you don't get it?" Mikey asked. "What if Ms. Larch picks someone else? Like, Rhonda," she suggested, naming one of their long-time favorite people to dislike.
Margalo had the answer. "Then I'll have more time to sell cookies, which means I'll have more money in the bank."
"Although you'll still have to do something for the play. All eighth graders do. I'm going to be an usher."
"In a little short, swishy skirt," Margalo said, grinning.
"I'll swish you," Mikey said.
"You'll need to style your hair, like, curl it for an updo. I'll help," Margalo offered.
Mikey's hand went up protectively to the thick braid that had finally gotten back to long enough, almost halfway down her back. "No way."
"You'll be adorable," Margalo promised -- and they both started laughing. Mikey and adorable were vocabulary words from two different languages. Two different languages spoken on two different planets.
"You should usher too," Mikey suggested.
"Ush," Margalo corrected.
"When you don't get the part. It's a minimum-stress assignment, and minimum time commitment. Unless -- would they give you one of the other parts? Is there another part for someone tall and skinny?"
"Jennet is the only part I want."
"You could play a man," Mikey suggested. This was not meant to be flattering.
"It's too bad you didn't have the nerve to try out," Margalo said.
"I thought about maybe that little priest, the one with his lute, the spacey one."
Margalo believed that the best revenge was a quick one. She said, "I guess, because he's supposed to be so short and round, you thought you'd look right."
"Also besides, I don't have time to learn lines. I'd have to miss a lot of practices and also I don't want to let the team down by not playing in a basketball game because of some rehearsal. Also, tennis begins in March, and I'm not about to miss that. So it's not that I didn't have the nerve," Mikey said, with her I-guess-I-win smile.
Margalo's attention had moved on to the new problem: If she didn't get the part, she was going to have to do something else for the play. Every student in each grade -- and every teacher, too -- had to do something for the West Junior High School annual class projects, the dance given by the seventh grade for eighth graders, and the play given by eighth graders for everyone. She was about to ask Mikey about the ushering committee, when Tanisha Harris pulled out one of the empty chairs -- there were many to choose among near Mikey and Margalo -- and sat down in it.
Tan was the only girl as serious about sports as Mikey. In grade school, when they first met her, she was serious about volleyball, but since last year she'd been serious about basketball instead. Tan had a good chance at an athletic scholarship for college, since she was a really good athlete, and smart enough, and African American. She looked at Margalo with dark, measuring eyes and said, "I've got bad news. Do you want to hear it?"
"How bad?" Margalo wondered.
"Not bad like your dog died. This is like -- a dead-goldfish level of badness," Tan said. She had always run closer to their wavelength than other people. "It's like a you'll-hate-dinner -- it's on a liver-for-dinner level."
"I don't mind liver," Mikey objected.
"OK," Margalo decided. "Tell."
"My grandmother loves it," Mikey told them.
"You know that today in assembly they're announcing who got parts in the play?" Tan asked.
Margalo nodded.
"Sautéed, with onions and red wine," Mikey said.
"I know who's going to be Jennet Jourdemayne. Sorry, but it's not you."
"Hah!" Mikey crowed. All victories welcome, that was her motto.
"Hunnh," said Margalo. She was cool, nothing surprised her, nothing got her excited, nothing could upset her or disappoint her.
"I told you so," Mikey said.
"Mikey," Tan protested.
"Well I did," Mikey maintained.
Tan grinned. "You're so bad, you're perfect."
Mikey smiled right back at her, a So-what? smile.
"How'd you find out?" Margalo wanted to know.
"The way they're announcing it, they're calling the people up onto the stage. I guess they think that'll make it more exciting for everyone, like the Oscars or something. Aimi told me. She's going to be Jennet. Ms. Larch told her yesterday so she'd be ready to be called up on stage, and Aimi was too excited not to tell someone." Tan continued, "I thought you were just as good as Aimi in tryouts. You're a good liar, so it makes sense that you'd be a good actress."
"Aimi must have been better," Mikey pointed out. "Otherwise, why would she get the part?"
"She's black." Tan made a point of not adding dummy, made such a big point that she might as well have said it out loud, which was exactly her point. "Except for that, Aimi and Margalo are built a lot alike, tall and slim, and they're both pretty enough. The only real difference I can see is Aimi's not white. So, I figure, Ms. Larch wanted someone who looked different from everybody else for Jennet, because...People in those days would single her out and believe she might be a witch because she looked different -- when they were looking for someone to blame, for a scapegoat when things went wrong."
"That's smart casting," Margalo agreed.
"Did she tell Aimi all that?" Mikey asked.
Tan just looked at her, eye sarcasm.
"Yeah, but then how do you know?" Mikey insisted. Then she said, "Wait. OK. I do get it." In case they didn't believe her, she explained. "The play's set in the Middle Ages, and the Middle Ages are a lot like junior high. The Middle Ages are the junior high of history. In both places, if you look different, or act different, people are nervous, scared of you. Get people scared of you and they'll start doing things to make themselves feel un-scared, like -- burning you at the stake. It's as simple as math: Different is scary, new is scary, change is scary -- burn, burn, burn." Each time she said burn, Mikey pointed at Margalo or Tan, as if she was sentencing somebody to be tied to a stake and roasted alive. "I'll tell you what scares me," she said, as if either Margalo or Tanisha had asked. "People."
"The Salem witch trials weren't during the Middle Ages," Margalo pointed out.
Mikey ignored her. "By 'they' I mean mostly men," she said. "Because women couldn't do much of anything back then. Well, they could, and some of them did. Joan of Arc, for example, and look what happened to her because she acted different from other people, and looked different, especially dressed different. Things haven't really changed at all since then, have they?"
Margalo considered deflating this R&R, which was what her mother called it when Mikey got going on some topic, because it was the opposite of Rest and Recreation. With Mikey, Aurora maintained, R&R stood for Rant and Rave. Margalo was about to advise Mikey to put a lid on it, when Frannie Arenberg, who'd stopped on her way out of the cafeteria to listen, did it for her. "I think the human race has made some good progress since the Middle Ages," Frannie said.
"Yeah, but you also think Louis Caselli isn't so bad," Mikey pointed out.
"That's because Louis has a giant crush on her," Tan said.
Frannie never minded being teased, not about her plain, Quaker style of dressing, not about her reputation as the nicest person in school, not even about Louis Caselli's crush. She said, "I feel sorry for Louis."
"Louis has the brains of a mushroom," Mikey agreed. "We have to forgive him. At least," she added, "the rest of you have to. I don't think I will."
"Besides, as we all know, Louis is no competition for..." Margalo lingered on the silence before she uttered the name in a breathless, sighing voice, "Gregory Peck." Frannie's crush on Gregory Peck had begun when they'd been shown the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird last year. She didn't care if he was old enough to be her grandfather -- or great-grandfather by now; and Margalo did agree that he was incredibly handsome. But there was old, and there was way old, and Gregory Peck was definitely in the second category.
As soon as Margalo mentioned the one, Mikey leaned toward Tanisha to murmur the name of the other: "Tiger Woods." In eighth grade you wanted to be half of a couple, so if they didn't have a personal boyfriend, girls could get crushes on celebrities. The important thing was to have a name linked to yours. Almost all eighth graders were linked to someone. Not Mikey, and not Margalo, and there were a few others, too, although not many. Casey Wolsowski was one of these -- unless you counted linking your name up to the hero of some book, which most people didn't. This far into the year everybody knew about Frannie's crush and Tanisha's ideal man, so they got teased a lot.
Frannie and Tan looked at each other. "Their time will come," Tanisha promised.
"In your dreams," Mikey answered, and Margalo let Mikey speak for her in this, as if she and Mikey were in exactly the same position, untouched, and untouchable.
"Anyway, I'm not about to waste time and erasers on a notebook," Mikey declared. Eighth-grade girls erased their boyfriends' initials onto the fronts of their spiral notebooks. It was practically an eighth-grade art form, initialing anything you could get an eraser on. "Haven't you seen Ronnie's notebooks, with Doug's name all over them? And Rhonda -- it's pitiful. She's pitiful. She always was, but this year she's reached new levels of pitifulness. Or Heather McGinty, the way she drools around after whoever scored highest in the last game, whoever everybody's talking about. Acting like she's some movie-star irresistible sex goddess, hinting about how hot she is." Mikey concluded this R&R, "The whole thing's -- it's really embarrassing, and Heather's not even embarrassed."
Then she grinned. "I'm enjoying eighth grade."
Then she glared at Frannie. "What's so funny?"
Frannie stood up, shaking her head. "I have to get an aisle seat for the assembly," she apologized, "because I got a part."
"Which one?" Margalo asked, making a silent guess, The mother.
"The mother," Frannie said.
"Typecasting," Mikey announced.
"No it isn't," Margalo said. "The mother isn't -- "
Mikey held up both hands, palms out like a policeman facing traffic, Stop. "Leave me something to be surprised at, why don't you? Who else got parts?" she asked Frannie.
"I thought you wanted to be surprised. Anyway, we're not supposed to tell," she added, leaving.
"Are you trying to get rid of the few friends you have?" Tan asked Mikey.
"What did I do to you? I just said his name, just Tiger. Ti-ger, Ti-ger." Mikey ducked out of Tanisha's reach. "I didn't say anything about, That's a weird name, or, How dumb is it to think you're in love with some sports hero who never even heard of you and never will."
"No different from a movie star or a rock star," Tanisha maintained.
But Margalo disagreed. "Tiger Woods is a whole different story from Tyrese." Then she was diverted. "Denzel Washington. I could go for Denzel Washington."
"Or Will Smith," Tanisha agreed.
Mikey groaned. They ignored her.
Margalo didn't remember when it had become fun to make lists of handsome guys, fun just to think about who should be on the list; but she didn't deny that she enjoyed it. It was more interesting than listing all the boys in your class, ranked in order of who you'd like to kiss, or go on a date with, or marry, which one you'd most want to be marooned on a desert island with, or -- this was the currently popular list -- dance with, or slow dance with or super slow dance with, which were all the same unspoken question: Who do you want to go to the dance with? If every boy was going to ask you, who would you choose?
As some art-room kids passed by, Cassie Davis -- front-runner for the title of eighth grader with the worst attitude -- stopped to ask Mikey, "You coming to assembly? Or what?"
"Is there an or what choice?" Mikey asked, then "I'm not joking," she protested.
"I know," Cassie said. "That's what makes you so funny."
"I'm not funny," Mikey told her.
"I'll save you a seat," Cassie said, passing on by.
"Why does she think because we're in the same homeroom, she should save me a seat?" Mikey demanded.
"She doesn't mean it," Margalo explained. "She won't do it."
"Then why does she say she's going to? People," Mikey said, disgusted.
Being disgusted with people reminded her of something else. "What committee are you going to be on for the play?" she asked Tan.
Tan was rising, and it really was time to start over to the auditorium. She said, "Promotion -- you know, getting advertisers for the programs, finding stores that'll let us put up posters. The committee only meets during lunches, and we can sign up the advertisers and ask at stores during the weekends. It's Mrs. Sanabria's committee so you know it's not going to interfere with the basketball schedule," she said as she joined up with Ronnie Caselli and others from the team.
Watching the cafeteria get empty, Mikey looked at Margalo and smiled, a grim Let's-look-for-a-bright-side smile. "The sooner it starts, the sooner it'll be over."
Like someone about to step into the dentist's office, Margalo tucked her straight, chin-length hair behind her ears and squared her shoulders. "If you say so." She rose from her seat.
Slowly, reluctantly, they got going, drifting out of the cafeteria, drifting down the hallways, drifting into the auditorium, just two jellyfish riding along on tidal waters.

In my opinion, I'd say that this is a very good book to read. I recommend it to any girl who has or may not have a crush on someone yet. It goes through the predictable measures of high schoolers and it just kept me reading and reading. If I were you, I'd purchase or borrow this book, Bad Girls In Love. =)
This book was a drag. It was too predictable, and the ending just left the readers wondering, like, who was Mikey's secret admirer and do they get together? No offense to her, but this book was a really bad impression on Cynthia Voigt.
Bad Girls In Love was a great book from the start but there are only two things I didn't like in this book. 1- on the parts of dialouges it was too confusing(maybe for me but it was too many people talking in dialouges) 2- Voigt didn't informed who was Mikey's secret admirer.I mean, Voigt could have done better than this.
Do u rpp the tom thats going to forcemate winter in res 3?~•winter•~
Well this book is very fine but i dont like it tht tht tht much

does it get any easier than that? i think not.
for my classroom, i needed some bright, cheap, & easy decorations. and cheap.
so what's cheaper than free paint chips? i also threw in a pack of cardstock and ended up with lots of fun stuff to hang on the walls that i'm pretty sure no one in my class has noticed except for me. but it makes me happy, so that's all that counts, right?
easy peasy - cut out shapes
string them through the sewing machine
and walla! fun little banners
oh how i love easy projects

Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story is true or not true. I call myself a possibilian.

"As I demonstrated two weeks ago, in the entry and midrange server market, it is Unix servers, not Lintel or Wintel servers, that are setting the price/performance pace. And up in the enterprise server space, Unix dominates, but vendors of Linux, Windows, and proprietary machines are all trying to get a piece of the action, too. Now that Linux 2.6 has arrived, and scales a lot better than Linux 2.4, plenty of IT shops are wondering whether Linux can displace other platforms for core applications, not just infrastructure workloads..."

"A Bike Bus is a group of cyclists riding together to a specific destination on a schedule with an experienced leader. Bike Buses are often formed by commuters who ride together to work. However, a Bike Bus can be adapted to go anywhere groups of riders want to go- church, shopping, the zoo, parks—If a road goes there, a Bike Bus can go there. It's called a 'bus' because there is a set route and timetable so it can pick up more 'passengers' along the way."

"You scared?"
That's the question I was asked about a dozen times as I walked out onto the X Games rally course to hop into Matthew Johnson's rainbow ride. Johnson was going to take me through one lap of full-speed, sliding-around-turns-at-more-than-50-mph rally action, but the funny thing was, I wasn't scared at all.
Not until someone started talking about the car catching on fire.
It's one thing to crash. They were giving me a helmet and a neck harness just to be on the safe side. But when the PR guy said they might give me a special suit to put on in case the car caught on fire, that's when I started to have second thoughts.
I tried to laugh it off at first, but I swear, not three minutes after I was told about possible fires, a car sped by, and as I watched, I could actually see flames shooting out from the bottom.
Next thing you know, I'm jumping in Johnson's car and I never did get that fireproof suit.
"You ever been in a fast car before?" Johnson asks me as he revs the engine.
"Only when my wife drives," I say (no joke, my wife drives to the grocery store as if it's the Daytona 500).
He looks at me and laughs, then hits the gas with such force that we are rocketing down the straightaway. Next thing I know, we're hitting a turn sliding sideways and as I check the speedometer, it's at 50 (Johnson later explained that we were actually going faster because that's just how fast the tires were spinning through the slide). As we continue to shoot through to the end of the course, I seriously can't wipe the smile off my face.
First thought: My wife would've killed me if we had crashed and/or I somehow had caught fire.
Second thought: Can I do it again?
It was definitely one of the most fun sports experiences I've ever had in my life (and a little more violent than I anticipated as there's nothing to hold on to inside the car and I was getting thrown around more than I expected, even with all the belts and buckles). But it really put into perspective what goes on in these rally races I previously had experienced only in video games.
Watching my every turn (and one of the guys who kept asking me whether I was scared), was Matt Horsman, the lead designer for upcoming rally game "DiRT 2."
"You're crazy," he says with a laugh. "I want to go next."
I sat down with Horsman the next day to talk about his game and how it compares to what I just experienced on the track for real.
ESPN: Why do you think so many action sports athletes like Dave Mirra and Travis Pastrana are now drawn to competing in rally?
Matt Horsman: I think the draw is in the danger. You get guys like Mirra and Pastrana and Ken Block, and they're driving sideways through a forest at 90 miles per hour — that's damn scary. It's an adrenaline rush. And I think Travis and Dave like the safety of the car. When they normally fall off their bike, they break limbs. In a rally car, they're a bit safer.
ESPN: Mirra, Pastrana and Block are all featured in "DiRT 2." What types of races should gamers expect out of the new game?
Horsman: We wanted to focus on putting the most aggressive off-road racers in the most exotic locations. We do stuff in the game that you just can't do in real life, so we've got a track in the Moroccan desert and one in the Malaysian jungle. We've built a fictional stadium in L.A. with these huge, massive jumps. These all just help add an extra fun element to the game.
ESPN: The game's physics and graphics are amazing. How long have you been working on this engine?
Horsman: The game is being developed by Codemasters in the U.K., and we have this proprietary engine called EGO. The first game to use this engine was the original "DiRT," which came out in 2007. The next game we made was "GRID," so right after "GRID" was done, we took all of that tech, and for "DiRT 2" we added more and more layers.
Now we've got real-time reflection maps, so when you're driving along, you can see the scene on your bonnet and all the flashing lights and the trees. The cars now have twice as many polys than they had before. We have nighttime stages now and a deferred lighting system, which means we can have about 100 different lighting sources on our tracks now. In "GRID," we only had one — the sun. That's all we had. For "DiRT 2," when you're driving at night on the L.A. stage, you'll see spotlights that follow the car and fireworks going off. We spent a lot of effort trying to make everything come alive, and I think it shows.
ESPN: Ken Block actually worked as a consultant on the game. How important was it to get his input?
Horsman: He was fantastic. Ken Block rang us a couple of weeks after the original "DiRT" came out because he knew Colin McRae, who was involved in the game. Ken wanted to be involved in the game, and so did Travis and Dave Mirra and Tanner Foust, and they were all a great help. Ken Block came over to the studio to meet with us, then we would actually send him builds of the game throughout development and he would offer feedback about the handling and the jumps. Jumping is his forte, so he was a great help there.
ESPN: I saw you had a little pair of DC shoes hanging from the mirror in Ken's virtual car in the game. What are some of the cool little things that you can put in your "DiRT 2" ride?
Horsman: We wanted to add fun little elements that we thought players would enjoy, so you can unlock these little dashboard items throughout the game. We have ones that stick to the dashboard and some that stick to the windscreen, as well, and if you're playing on the Xbox 360, one of the first ones you'll unlock is your avatar. You can have your avatar hanging from a string so when you're driving along you can see your little avatar swinging and looking at you wondering what you're doing.
ESPN: What is "DiRT 2"'s career mode going to entail?
Horsman: You start the game and watch Ken Block and Travis battle it out in the finals of the X Games. After the race, Travis Pastrana rings you up and tells you that you've seen what they could do, now they want to see what you can do. So they give you a Subaru and Ken Block invites you to London. You battle Dave Mirra in the first race, then he invites you to go to Baja. So the whole game is about you meeting these superstars and forming relationships with them, then they invite you to travel around the world. Travis brings you to Malaysia, Ken wants you to go chill out in Utah, and the whole game you're going on tour with these guys, and in the end, you're the one racing at the X Games in America, in L.A., and you're trying to go for the gold against Ken Block and Travis.
ESPN: Are you taking one car through career mode, or are you upgrading after each race?
Horsman: In "DiRT," we didn't really let you use the same car throughout the game. You had to switch and get rid of it. So for "DiRT 2," the car you start with, you can basically finish the game with and still be competitive. The Subaru you get at the start of the game, you can upgrade it performancewise. You start in the rookie class, then you get to pro and all-star, so the car increases in power and increases in speed. You can also take that car into different disciplines. So the first car you get is a rally car, but then you buy different discipline packs for it like rally cross, which is where eight drivers go around a short track. You can basically pay your mechanics a bunch of money and they'll convert your car to do rally cross or to do trailblazer, where the cars go 150 mph. Again, there's a pack for that, as well, so if you're a big Subaru fan, you can use your Subaru throughout the game.
ESPN: What plans do you have for "DiRT 2"'s online experience?
Horsman: Every single-player game mode, every discipline is fully online now. We have competitive multiplayer, so you can battle it out where the game picks the tracks so no one can cheat. And we also have jam sessions where you're the host so you make the rules where you can have any car, any track, and you can invite your friends. We also have team support where you can go in with teams of two or four and battle it out against other teams. We've given the community all the tools they need to go out and just have fun with it.
ESPN: What's your best advice on how to drive in the game?
Horsman: Be aggressive. Some people don't use the throttle too much and they slide around the corners. The thing about the game is that you really need to yank the steering wheel, get your back end out and power through the corners. That's how you do rally. As you saw firsthand in the car, you're pretty much going sideways, and that's how you do it in the game. Be aggressive and trust the car.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Carrabba's Italian Grill
3580 Sweetwater Rd. (east of I-85, exit 40 (Pleasant Hill)) Send to Phone
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Carrabba's Italian Grill Restaurant Review: The Italian approach to steaks and seafood informs this well-crafted menu, which is a consistent performer for a corporate-driven restaurant chain. Carrabbas offers good service and food at a fair price. Some good bets are calamari, mussels in white wine, wood-fired pizzas and decent pasta dishes that sometimes have a bit too much on them but are always tasty. For main courses, the best deals are the shrimp-and-scallop skewer and the veal Marsala. Portions are ample. Steaks are quite good and the kitchen is flexible about the preparation. Care to have your filet not Fiorentina but a la Marsala? The chefs will do it. The wine list is reasonably good, and almost all selections can be ordered by the glass. Also located at 1887 Mt. Zion Rd., Morrow, 770-968-3233; 1160 Ernest W. Barrett Pkwy., Kennesaw, 770-499-0338; and 2999 Cumberland Blvd., Smyrna/Vinings, 770-437-1444. |

By Rachel Temple
The word soak has been rolling around my head for a few weeks now. It all started when one of my children had one of those "magic washcloths." They put the compressed baseball shape in a bowl of water to soak in anticipation of seeing the washcloth appear. They let it soak for several minutes and nothing happened. We had to leave for a couple hours to run errands, so we continued to let it soak.
After, arriving home we noticed the washcloth never expanded and grew. It stayed the same. We quickly examined it.There was still a layer of plastic covering this "magic washcloth." It has not been able to soak in the water. Once we took the plastic layer off and let it soak, it expanded and stretched out of the shape it was compressed into.
There really was nothing magical about it. It just needed to be soaked.
Every day we need to take the layers off, put the distractions away and soak up time with Jesus.
How do you do that you ask? By spending time in God's word. It is imperative to our lives.
God's word is living and active. Hebrews 4:12(ESV) "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
When we take the layers off and be still with Jesus, we can start to hear and discern better. Reading and meditating on God's word helps us to daily renew our minds. It helps to transform us into a new person by changing the way we think. It S-T-R-E-A-C-H-E-S and G-R-O-W-S us.
It says in Romans 12:2(ESV) "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
What is one way you can soak—like a spiritual sponge and take in all Jesus has for you today? Start by journaling what he is saying to you. Write down a verse or two on an index card. Place it somewhere you can see during the day. There is nothing "magical" about it. It is all about being soaked in God's word. It will transform you. It will renew you.
Each one of us are in different seasons of life. You may have 10 min or an hour to spend time with Jesus. Whatever time you have make sure you are taking time to soak with Him. It is essential to our well-being of life. He loves you dear one. He is waiting for you.
Is there anything that helps (or distracts) you when it comes to spending time with Jesus?
How might I pray for you today?
Rachel Temple is a wife, mom of two, blogger, coffee-lover and speaker. She is crazy about Jesus and thankful for grace. Rachel longs to see each generation connected because each generation needs each other. On a normal day, you will see her carpooling, looking for a new crock pot recipe or at the softball field cheering on her daughter's travel team. Rachel can be found at RachelTemple or on Twitter.

History of Science Society meeting
November 18, 2009
Tomorrow sees the start of the History of Science Society annual meeting which this year is unfortunately in Phoenix. Because it's a home game so to speak, ASU doesn't pay for the essential hotel room, so this one is costing me a lot. That said, I've finished my slides for my talk on St. George Jackson Mivart, and am ready for some serious meetings and general conviviality.
November 18, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Did you record your talk? I'd love to listen.
November 19, 2009 at 12:19 am
No. And I wont when I give it on Friday. Of course, if you get me out to Oz, I'll be happy to give it 🙂

Full Product Description
With the full publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls, fresh analysis of the evidence presented can be and indeed, should be made. Beyond the Qumran Community does just that, reaching a surprising conclusion: the sect described in the Dead Sea Scrolls developed later than has usually been supposed and was never confi ned to the site of Qumran. / John J. Collins here deconstructs the Qumran community and shows that the sectarian documents actually come from a text spread throughout the land. He examines the Community Rule, or Yahad, and considers the Teacher of Righteousness, a pivotal fi gure in the Essene movement. After examining the available evidence, Collins concludes that it is, in fact, overwhelmingly likely that the site of Qumran housed merely a single settlement of a very widespread movement.
Beyond the Qumran Community by John J. Collins was published by Eerdmans Publishing Company in December 2009. The ISBN for Beyond the Qumran Community is 9780802828873.

Q: What is the purpose behind organizing such an event in India and especially at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi?
Our purpose in organizing the HITLAB Innovators Summit India and the HITLAB World Cup India is to accelerate the diffusion of transformational digital health innovations.
HITLAB has worked for over 15 years to identify elements that are critical to the development, production, approval, distribution, and implementation of public health and medical advancements. The Summit and World Cup held in New Delhi offered an important platform to launch these ideas for the benefit of India and indeed the world.
One of the most critical elements that HITLAB has found in its research is the element of collaboration. The HITLAB Innovators Summit India provides a thoughtfully designed space for those interested in changing the way healthcare is delivered and received, enabling participants to congregate, collaborate, and partner to address Indian healthcare challenges. The HITLAB World Cup India serves as a natural extension of the Summit, providing innovators with a stage to showcase their digital health innovations and obtain feedback from experts in the room. Our goal throughout this event was to emphasize the value of collaboration, which seems amiss in the current collection of meetings involving digital health.
We chose to have this Summit at IIT Delhi to emphasize the importance of higher education institutions as one of the cornerstones of global innovation.

Sir Surendranath Banerjee pronunciation (help·info) (Bengali: সুরেন্দ্রনাথ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়) (10 November 1848 – 6 August 1925) was one of the earliest Indian political leaders during the British Raj. He founded the Indian National Association, one of the earliest Indian political organizations, and later became a senior leader of the Indian National Congress. He also organised two sessions of Indian National Conference in 1883 and 1885. Surendranath Banerjee and Anandamohan Bose were main architect of Indian National Conference. Surendranath also founded Indian National Liberation Federation. He was also known by the sobriquet Rashtraguru. He was editor of "The Bengali" newspaper.
Early life[edit]
Surendranath Banerjee was born in Calcutta (Kolkata), in the province of Bengal to a Bengali Brahmins family. He was deeply influenced in liberal, progressive thinking by his father Durga Charan Banerjee, a doctor. Banerjee was educated at the Parental Academic Institution and at the Hindu College. After graduating from the University of Calcutta, he traveled to England in 1868, along with Romesh Chunder Dutt and Behari Lal Gupta, to compete in the Indian Civil Service examinations. He cleared the competitive examination in 1869, but was barred owing to a dispute over his exact age. After clearing the matter in the courts, Banerjee cleared the exam again in 1871 and was posted as assistant magistrate in Sylhet.
Banerjee was soon dismissed for making a serious judicial error. He went to England to appeal his discharge, but was unsuccessful because, he felt, of racial discrimination. He would return to India bitter and disillusioned with the British.[1] During his stay in England (1874–1875), he studied the works of Edmund Burke and other liberal philosophers. These works guided him in his protests against the British. He was known as the Indian Burke.
Political career[edit]
Upon his return to India in June, 1875, Banerjee became an English professor at the Metropolitan Institution, the Free Church Institution[2] and at the Ripon College, founded by him in 1882. He began delivering public speeches on nationalist and liberal political subjects, as well as Indian history. He founded the Indian National Association with Anandamohan Bose, one of the earliest Indian political organizations of its kind, on 26 July 1876.[3] He used the organization to tackle the issue of the age-limit for Indian students appearing for ICS examinations. He condemned the racial discrimination perpetrated by British officials in India through speeches all over the country, which made him very popular.
In 1879, he founded the newspaper, The Bengalee. In 1883, when Banerjee was arrested for publishing remarks in his paper, in contempt of court, protests and hartals erupted across Bengal, and in Indian cities such as Agra, Faizabad, Amritsar, Lahore and Pune. The INA expanded considerably, and hundreds of delegates from across India came to attend its annual conference in Calcutta. After the founding of the Indian National Congress in 1885 in Bombay, Banerjee merged his organization with it owing to their common objectives and memberships in 1886. He was elected the Congress President in 1895 at Poona and in 1902 at Ahmedabad.
Surendranath was one of the most important public leaders who protested the partition of the Bengal province in 1905. Banerjee was in the forefront of the movement and organized protests, petitions and extensive public support across Bengal and India, which finally compelled the British to reverse the bifurcation in 1912. Banerjee became the patron of rising Indian leaders like Gopal Krishna Gokhale and Sarojini Naidu. Banerjee was also one of the senior-most leaders of the moderate Congress — those who favoured accommodation and dialogue with the British — after the "extremists" - those who advocated revolution and political independence — led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak left the party in 1906. Banerjee was an important figure in the Swadeshi movement - advocating goods manufactured in India against foreign products — and his popularity at its apex made him, in words of admirers, the uncrowned king of Bengal.
Later career[edit]
The declining popularity of moderate Indian politicians affected Banerjee's role in Indian politics. Banerjee supported the Morley-Minto reforms 1909 – which were resented and ridiculed as insufficient and meaningless by the vast majority of the Indian public and nationalist politicians. Banerjee was a critic of the proposed method of civil disobedience advocated by Mahatma Gandhi, the rising popular leader of Indian nationalists and the Congress Party. Accepting the portfolio of minister in the Bengal government earned him the ire of nationalists and much of the public, and he lost the election to the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1923 to Bidhan Chandra Roy, the candidate of the Swarajya Party – ending his political career for all practical purposes. He was knighted for his political support of the British Empire. Banerjee made the Calcutta Municipal Corporation a more democratic body while serving as a minister in the Bengal government.[4]
He is remembered and widely respected today as a pioneer leader of Indian politics — first treading the path for Indian political empowerment. He published an important work, A Nation in Making which was widely acclaimed. This is one of his most famous books. The British respected him and referred to him during his later years as Surrender Not Banerjee. But nationalist politics in India meant opposition, and increasingly there were others whose opposition was more vigorous and who came to center stage. Banerjee could accept neither the extremist view of political action nor the noncooperation of Gandhi, then emerging as a major factor in the nationalist movement. Banerjee saw the Montague-Chelmsford reforms of 1919 as substantially fulfilling Congress's demands, a position which further isolated him. He was elected to the reformed Legislative Council of Bengal in 1921, knighted in the same year, and held office as minister for local self-government from 1921 to 1924. His defeat at the polls in 1923 brought his political career to a close. Surendranath died at Barrackpore on 6 August 1925.
His name is commemorated in the names of the following institutions: Barrackpore Rastraguru Surendranath College, Raiganj Surendranath Mahavidyalaya, Surendranath College, Surendranath College for Women, Surendranath Evening College, Surendranath Law College (formerly Ripon College) and the Surendranath Centenary School in Ranchi.

In the end, Banerjea lost his job by committing a serious judicial mistake, dismissing a case recording the complainant and his witnesses absent while whey were actually present in his court. Banerjea went to England to lodge an appeal ... He concluded that his appeal failed because he was an Indian. This was the basic reason for his becoming a nationalist.

Aging, oxidative stress, and circadian clock genes in neurodegenerative diseases
Aging and oxidative stress have been implicated in neurodegeneration, though the proximal mechanisms linking these factors are incompletely understood. Circadian clock proteins regulate many aspects of cellular biochemistry and have been implicated in control redox status and aging. Importantly, circadian clock gene expression and function decline with age and in neurodegenerative conditions. However, the role of clock genes in brain health and neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis is unknown. Our hypothesis is that the core circadian clock genes regulate critical aspects of brain redox homeostasis, bioenergetics, and metabolism, and that disruption of clock genes might facilitate neurodegeneration. We have observed that deletion of the master clock gene Bmal1 in mice, which completely abrogates circadian rhythmicity, induces age-dependent neuropathology characterized by neuronal oxidative damage, neuroinflammation, impaired antioxidant gene expression, and degeneration of synaptic terminals. Our lab is actively investigating the molecular mechanisms by which circadian dysfunction may contribute to brain aging, oxidative damage, and neurodegeneration.Circadian dysfunction is a common symptom of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and epidemiologic and genetic studies suggest a possible role for clock gene dysregulation in AD pathogenesis. Using mouse models of AD, we are examining how perturbation of clock gene function impacts amyloid-β metabolism and other aspects of AD neuropathology. Ultimately, we hope to develop therapeutic strategies for AD which target circadian gene function.
