The Conch Pearl – scene 2 pg3
Margaret was leaning back now, far into the corner of the couch, with her legs crossed. She gave Noel her skeptical look. Intrigued but skeptical. "Who's Quinn?"
Noel spun around softly on his heel and headed for the ice box. "He's a Caribbean Cowboy, I guess." He could be heard dropping ice cubes into a glass.
He came back with two glasses quarter filled with a whiskey her father had given them. He handed her one, and sat down at the other end of the couch.
"My friends aren't stupid, you know."
"I know, it –"
" — they just don't fit in. That, I'll grant you."
"Ok, that I'll take. I've never met these two, but, knowing you quite well, if you say they don't fit in, I won't argue."
"Quinn was a boat delivery captain, back when boat delivery might have been called fun. '70s, '80s. I think he spent a lot of his early years sailing boats out of California, Southern California. For rich people, of course. Deliver them up to Seattle, down to Cabo, Puerta Vallarta, and into the Carribean, too. I guess that's how he found Key West. You don't make much money delivering boats, but you don't have many expenses either, and you do learn a lot about the water. He's been in every port between Los Angeles and Key West, going by the Panama Canal. He was jailed in Panama, because they liked the boat he was delivering. They tried to trap the boat on trumped up pot charges. This is all stuff he told me. I think he's always had dreams of striking it rich, somehow striking it rich.
Maybe it grows on you, delivering all those rich people's boats, maybe you want to get your own. I don't know what spawns every man's "get rich now" scheme. Nor why some men seem to be constantly spawning them. Well, most people just don't have the follow through, do they? But they enjoy dreaming."
"Noel, what – how could you help this guy?"
"I can see you drifting off to there already, to the Cay Sal Bank or wherever, you're already there. You're not really going to go, are you?"
"No, realistically, I can't go. Just pack up and leave, you mean, after these two guys?"
"No. I'm not even sure what the trouble is, or could be. No one knows what the trouble could be. That's why Sean wrote, right?"
"Why can't Sean spell?" Margaret was driving a point.
Noel looked over at her cautiously.
"I think he just can't type."

Substitute Paul Mullin came off the bench to grab a valuable point for struggling Morecambe as they came from behind three times to draw 3-3 with Northampton.
John Johnson headed Northampton into a 14th minute lead from a Marcus Hall free kick, but Morecambe were back on level terms six minutes later when Kevan Hurst fired home in a crowded box.
Kevin Thornton restored Northampton's lead five minutes after the restart, firing home after Leon McKenzie had robbed Andy Parish.
However, Jimmy Spencer equalised in his 65th minute from a far post header after being picked out by Phil Jevons.
Parish, though, then gave away a 71st minute penalty, which McKenzie converted only for Mullin to earn a point in the 88th minute when he bundled the ball home at the far post from Tony Capaldi's cross.
And Mullin almost won it in stoppage time when he headed over from Hurst's corner.

By all accounts, the World Conference of Science Journalists (WCSJ) in Doha, Qatar, last month was an impressive feat, marking the first iteration of the conference hosted by an Arab nation. More than 120 Arab science journalists attended, and half of the 724 attendees were from developing countries. Previous WCSJ meetings had lacked such turnout from those sectors. BBC reporter Pallab Ghosh, a former president of the World Federation of Science Journalists, which sponsored the conference, said it was "for the first time a truly international [science journalism] meeting."
But behind the scenes, political problems caused extensive debate and several disruptions. The inclusion of U.S.-Israeli journalist Anna Wexler on a panel caused divisions within the Arab Science Journalists Association (ASJA), a co-sponsor of the conference. After Egyptian reporter Bothaina Osama objected to appearing on a panel with her, meeting organizers removed Wexler from that panel and gave her a spot on a different session with no Arab speakers. Under pressure from their journalists' union that objected to Wexler's presence, two Jordanian journalists decided to boycott the meeting altogether; they may be removed from an international science journalism training program as a result. Meanwhile, Israel barred a Palestinian journalism professor from attending the event.
"In this region you have to expect there will be sensitivities on these issues," says Nadia El-Awady, the conference co-chair.
Wexler, who holds U.S. and Israeli citizenship, was slated months before the conference to appear on a panel about science reporting in non-English languages with three other reporters. Both Qatar and Egypt, the original site of the conference, had agreed that Israeli reporters could participate in the event; Egyptian authorities even offered to help Wexler with visa issues. (The conference was moved after the February revolution in Egypt.)
But in May, Osama and other members of ASJA raised concerns about Wexler's participation. Egyptian and Jordanian press associations prohibit members from conducting activities that constitute "normalization" with Israel, a loosely interpreted term that for reporters can mean not even interviewing Israeli citizens. Some ASJA members felt sharing a panel with Wexler—or attending a conference at which she spoke -- constituted normalization. Others disagreed but felt pressured by their press associations or employers to boycott the meeting. ASJA rank and file as well as board members debated the issue, but in the end the association's board decided not to oppose Wexler's inclusion and not to support calls by some to boycott the meeting.
"ASJA did not have any objection to the presence of Anna Wexler. … The basic principle was: This is an international conference involving all nationalities without exception," says ASJA President Nehal Lasheen.
In a May letter published in English and Arabic, the World Federation of Science Journalists board expressed "full support" for the ASJA board and the conference organizers' decision to run an "all-inclusive" conference.
But some ASJA members were not happy and criticized Al-Awady and other organizers for their decision to allow Wexler to speak. ASJA board member Hanan Alqueswany from Jordan decided to boycott the conference, and Algerian journalist Mohammed Hussein Tolby canceled his membership of ASJA, which has roughly 200 members.
Deborah Blum, program chair for the conference, decided to remove Wexler from the original panel and create a new one, devoted to film, to allow her to speak while keeping Osama on the program. (Wexler had done video journalism, suggesting a way to keep both journalists on the program.) "I was really pissed … but this was the best way," says Blum, a journalist and professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "I considered this a totally inclusive conference."
"I didn't want to be engaged in sending any unintended political messages by joining the same panel with Anna, so I thought it was best that each of us participate in the conference but in separate sessions," said Osama, who would not say whether she agreed or not with her journalists' union's position. "Engaging in the process of normalisation can tarnish one's professional reputation. So Arabs of all professions need to deal very sensitively with situations in which an Israeli representative participates, whether there is a rule against this or not."
The 22 Arab journalists participating in a training program run by the World Federation were told by program managers that attending the conference was mandatory. All attended except for two Jordanian journalists, who had signed a pledge with their national press union not to attend the event because of Wexler's inclusion. The World Federation is debating whether they will be forced to leave the tutoring program, says Director Jean-Marc Fleury. But one of the trainees who declined to attend, Farrah Attyat of Al Ghad Newspaper in Amman, has no regrets. "It's not that my union said something. I am not going to any conference that Israel is a part of," she says.
"There was plenty of drama before the conference … and there was a point where I was considering whether I should withdraw," says Wexler. But in the end she says she accepted the new arrangement; she calls the conference a "good news" story. The audience of her session included a number of Muslim women wearing head scarves, and nobody objected to her speaking, she says.
Meanwhile, a session on teaching science journalism in the Arabic-speaking world lost one of its speakers because Israeli officials at a checkpoint prevented Palestinian journalism professor Farid Abu Dheir of the An-Najah National University in Nablus from leaving the occupied West Bank. He was trying to travel to Doha the day before the conference.
Abu Dheir, who had proper exit documents, says he was given a document that said his ties to "Hamas outside of Palestine" were the reason for him being stopped. "I totally deny this, and I offered to sign an obligation not to be part of any political outlawed activity," says Abu Dheir. "They also rejected this." The Israeli government did not answer requests for comment.
"I was angry about it," says Blum. "Here you have someone who is, for all we know, just a journalism professor who wants to teach science journalists. It sends a message of ill will." Several professional academics in Israel tried to help Abu Dheir, says Cornell University science communication professor Bruce Lewenstein, who organized the panel Abu Dheir was slated to be on.
Despite some difficulties, "we were able to get through [the conference] with very minimal consequences," says Al-Awady.

Energy & Environment
The College of Engineering boasts comprehensive, multidisciplinary and internationally acclaimed research and curriculum programs in energy, environment and sustainability. Supported by state and federal resources, our students and faculty are developing alternatives to and improvements for traditional forms of energy; advancing energy efficiency, systems and storage; inventing new methods of energy harvesting and recovery; assessing environmental impact; and investigating policy, economic impact and consumer behavioral models that would improve energy conservation. Ohio State's and the college's prominence in energy-related work was underscored this spring when President Obama visited campus to give a speech on American energy and tour the College of Engineering's Center for Automotive Research.
Internationally recognized for his novel clean coal technologies, Professor L.S. Fan invented a patented syngas chemical looping process supported by industrial partners and $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy's ARPA-E, Advanced Research Projects Agency/Energy. Other coal research here includes the Coal Combustion Product Extension Program, which develops economic and environmentally friendly uses for coal burning byproducts; Professor Umit Ozkan, who finds safe and cost-effective methods of creating hydrogen from coal and renewable sources; and Professor Bhavik Bakshi, who studies ecologically and economically conscious process engineering.
Our faculty and students are making improvements in both ground and air transportation. Since 1998 the U.S. Department of Energy has funded advanced vehicle technologies initiatives at the Center for Automotive Research. Students are engaged in the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors' EcoCAR2 competition to improve automotive efficiency and reduce environmental impact. They also hold world and national records with the battery- and fuel cell-powered Buckeye Bullet landspeed vehicle teams. Ohio's Third Frontier program supports work in energy storage here. And for decades, industry and government leaders have joined our faculty in projects at facilities such as the Aeronautical and Astronautical Research Laboratories and Center for the Accelerated Maturation of Materials in our Propulsion and Power Center.
Energy Systems
Finding solutions to our nation's energy challenges requires a comprehensive look at policy, education and technology for both renewable and traditional energy sources. Professor Longya Xu's research at the Ohio Third Frontier-funded Center for High Performance Power Electronics seeks discoveries for applications including the electric and hybrid electric vehicle industry and renewable energy systems. Professor Ramteen Sioshansi is working with the Ohio Supercomputer Center and Ohio State's College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences using a $1.675 million National Science Foundation grant to develop a computer tool for researchers, government leaders and the public to study and understand changes in energy-related technology, policy and pricing. And current electric technicians as well as the next generation of power engineers learn about smart grid technologies through a U.S. Department of Energy-funded program called I-SMART, which also features a Realtime Simulation Platform allowing researchers to simulate communication and traditional power systems methods for developing smart grid technologies.
The prospect of making liquid, gas and solid fuels from biological materials holds an interest for several College of Engineering faculty members. With the support of a U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E $3.9 million grant, S.T. Yang is working with Robert Tabita in the College of Arts and Sciences and scientists at Battelle on the bioconversion of carbon dioxide to biofuels. Another example is Yebo Li, whose collaborations with industry include growing algae for use in fuel production and boosting the amount of biogas produced from waste.
With extensive collaboration in photovoltaics technology, solar research here extends from the lab to the consumer. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Professor Steven Ringel and his research team are building upon their development of new semiconductor photovoltaic materials to create technology for concentrator photovoltaic systems with the potential to reach energy conversion efficiencies in excess of 50 percent via an affordable manufacturing process. In addition, Ohio State is a major partner in the Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization (PVIC), which accelerates the photovoltaic industry in Ohio by reducing solar costs and improving technologies, then transferring them from the laboratory to the production line. Engineering students have shown enthusiasm for solar energy by joining their peers university-wide in two consecutive entries in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon, a solar home-building contest.
Our Nuclear Energy Program holds prominence in probabilistic safety assessment, reliability and risk mitigation. Its Nuclear Reactor Lab, in operation since 1961, is used for a wide range of research endeavors, including neutron activation analysis, radiation-damage evaluation for electronic components and for other materials, evaluation of neutron and radiation sensitive detectors, isotope production, and biomedical experiments. Faculty recently received $1.5 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Energy. The program also boasts a government- and industry-sponsored Academic Center for Excellence in Instrumentation, Control and Safety.
Professor Joseph Heremans' work in the Thermal Materials Laboratory features design, synthesis and testing of materials for thermoelectric applications, which include power generation through solar-thermal or automotive waste heat recovery as well as room temperature and below Peltier cooling. For example, he and Professor Roberto Myers led a team that developed a semiconductor material that combines spintronics with thermoelectronics to convert heat to energy and could allow computers to recycle part of their own waste heat.

To the Editor,
I believe Mr. Luther Harrison had a lot of good points in his letter to the editor published don March 27 about the garbage situation in Robeson County.
I would also like to add that Mr. Noah Woods stated that Robeson County is certainly not the only county with a trash problem. It is obvious that Mr. Woods does not use his large travel stipend to travel outside of Robeson County. Travel west through Scotland, Richmond and Union counties. Travel north through Harnett, Chatham and Orange counties. None of these counties look anywhere near as nasty as Robeson County.
And yes, Sheriff Sealey, I agree that your deputies need to keep a keener eye out for litterers. I have watched a Robeson County deputy driving a Robeson County Sheriff's Department vehicle throw out of the car window a McDonald's cup. Do you folks really expect part of the problem to be part of the solution? Have the deputies start watching for litterers and then levy a fine. Have a few deputies — or even recruit a few volunteers — to put on a pair of gloves and go through some of the many whole bags of garbage for a name and address. Then levy a fine on the offenders.
If the fine is not paid, let the litterer spend a night or two in jail. Better yet, make more people pay up on their property tax bill instead of letting them slide for several years, then the county would have a lot more money to spend on educating people not to be such slobs.

Comedy on the Edge
A play about a dysfunctional family? Nothing new about that. In this family, however, things are just a little different. For one thing, the year is 1183 AD; and for another, these family members are English royalty (with a French king and his sister thrown in for good measure).
Welcome to James Goldman's The Lion in Winter, where Henry II dukes it out with his estranged and rich queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, along with their scheming sons, John, Geoffrey and Richard (yes, that's the Lionhearted one). There's plenty of psychological weaponry here, but also plenty of potential knife-play, imprisonment, decapitation, warfare and banishment: all the fun toys that royals like to play with.
And play they do, with plots and counter-plots, witty dialogue, threats, lies and betrayals, a ll worthy of the Bard himself. But they also engage in very Shakespearean moments of biting humor, emotional beauty and endearment that we have grown to cherish.
Henry, Eleanor, and their twisted offspring are ancient historical figures from the distant past. But they remind us of people we know. They are, in a word, accessible; and quite potently so. They speak in modern language — embellished with a few contemporary metaphors and random anachronisms along with smart alliteration and clever descriptions of each other—so that we can readily identify with them, and even care about them. We also get to chuckle and laugh at them, an excellent way to develop an understanding of ourselves in the process.
The play takes place on Christmas Eve for a family get together. Henry allows Eleanor one day out of prison for the Sacred Holiday. (Yes, she's been there for ten years). This offers her the opportunity to plot against him once more with the help of her favored son, Richard. Yes, Richard is an ambitious warrior who is willing to go along with her ploys to grab everything he desires.
Geoffrey, the least favored, is "a device…he's wheels and gears" always plotting with whoever has the advantage in order to gain power for himself and maybe become king after all have fallen. John, Daddy's favorite, is too indolent and a profligate to guard the advantages his father keeps planning for him. He's always "ruining everything" and will "never learn".
Throw in French Princess Alais, another attractive prize, and Richard wants everything for himself. But the King has other plans for Alais. Sounds familiar?
Curtain Call Theatre has assembled a fine cast of actors from its growing roster of talent:
mavericks Mark Gregory and Gretchen Belgrave; add new comers to CCT John Rowan, Diz Struffles, Clay Matthews, Crystal Carpenter, and Jake Hamlin; and you have a memorable and distinguished cast.
Directed by Michael Tabib and stage managed by Joe Potter, The Lion In Winter opens April 14. 2012 and plays on weekends for eight performances only through April 29 at Russian River Hall, 20347 Hwy. 116, Monte Rio (one block East of Rio Theater).

From Aurora, Illinois, USA:
My two sons, ages two and five, have been going through testing for years. The last test results showed a fasting glucose level of 55 mg/dl [3.1 mmol/L], a fasting urine with no glucose or protein present, but 15mg/dl of ketones, and a fasting insulin level test of less than 2. Why are the doctors having a hard time with this?
I am assuming that your two sons have been tested for diabetes because of some special concern based on their family history. A fasting blood glucose of 55 mg/dl [3.1 mmol/L] is low; but within normal limits, and a fasting insulin level of less than 2 means very little unless you know what units the results were expressed in (presumably micro units/ml) and whether the test was done after some days on a high carbohydrate diet, which seems unlikely in view of the ketones and the rather low blood sugar. Perhaps the doctors are puzzled by the presence of ketonuria, so I should add that in small children especially in early morning samples after an overnight fast, ketones are common and are due to the use of body fat for energy when glucose levels are low. I see nothing in this information to suggest any form of diabetes.

Very popular at Chinese restaurants, cold sesame noodles make a great main or side dish. We've replaced hard-to-find sesame paste with peanut butter and sesame oil.
*Add blanched cauliflower or broccoli florets to the pasta and vegetable mixture.
*Serve this dish warm by heating the sauce, then add cubes of cooked meat/paneer.
The pasta cooking water, which carries some of the pasta's starch, is used here to stretch the sauce. It's a traditional Italian technique for thinning or smoothing a sauce so that it coats the pasta evenly. And the water replaces what might otherwise be oil or other fat.

Since imported grapes are among the most pesticide-laden produce, it is no wonder we are reaching more often for organic wines to fill our glasses. Organic wines come from organic grapes fruit grown without chemical killers of insects and weeds and without chemical fertilizers or fungicides. Every nation has its own rules regarding what can be labeled "organic," so standards vary. In France and Italy, sulfites a preservative that stabilizes wine can be added to wines labeled "organic." In the US, added sulfites are forbidden in "certified organic" or "organic" wines.
When you see American wine labels that state "made from organic grapes," that's a clue sulfites have been added. That's not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, some people prefer it. In a 2006 wine testing, Wall Street Journal wine columnists Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher preferred wines labeled "made with organically grown grapes" to those deemed "organic." "The best tasted like grapes and earth, period," they wrote.
Confounding matters, you may sometimes be drinking an organic wine, even though the label doesn't state so. Many American vineyards operate organically, yet don't go through the expense of jumping through the governmental hoops required for certification to allow them to label their wines "organic," according to OrganicWineJournal.com. Or they simply don't want the word on the bottle. In the old days, organic wines had a poor reputation, taste-wise, among wine enthusiasts. The industry is still countering that stigma. Today several organic wines earn kudos.
Here is a simple guide to what different green wine labels mean:
"100% Organic." You guessed it the wine is made from 100% organically grown ingredients. The wine also was monitored throughout its entire production process. The bottle bears the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic seal (the certifying agency must be listed). No sulfites are added, though it can contain naturally occurring sulfites (or sulfur dioxide, an antimicrobial substance).
"Organic." Surprise it's not totally organic. The wine has 95% organically grown ingredients (the other 5% must not be available organically). On the label, you'll see the USDA organic symbol. Again the certifying agency must be listed. No sulfites are added, though the wine can contain naturally occurring sulfites.
"Made with Organic Grapes" or "Made with Organic Ingredients." The wine contains at least 70% organic ingredients. Sulfites can be added, but it may not beyond 100 parts per million. The wine can't bear the USDA organic seal.
"Biodynamic." The wine is 100% organic, plus the grower has gone beyond to try to bring the farming process more closely in tune with nature. For instance, wine growers may make their own compost and/or watch the stars and planets to time what they do. The concept of biodynamic farming originated from the early 20th-century Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner.

Recent candidates joining the enbloc trend include Braddell View, Pine Grove, Changi Garden, Amber Park, Jervois Gardens, Florence Regency and Normanton Park.
The real estate developers — those from China in particular — has felt that there are good profits to be made from Singapore's red hot enbloc market. Many developers have historically been comfortable with the en bloc procedure, a process that was cumbersome and protracted than the purchase of government land which is straightforward in the tendering process.
Among the major elements affecting an en-bloc sale is that the plot ratio of the land, which is decided by the authorities through the URA Master Plan. En bloc sales' logic is such that in land rare nations, or populated cities, the tides of time will lead areas and neighbourhoods to grow at different speeds. A committee must be formed, and the sales committee has to try to convince folks to sign up for Collective Sale Agreement. For en bloc sales, the date of arrangement or agreement denotes the date when the Collective Sale Committee awards the site. Such sales supply a useful way to optimise the use of property, allow elderly advancements to make way for new designs that appeal to today's buyers, and possibly even provide "green" attributes.
The Ministry of National Development said the increase in government land sales and enbloc sales was needed to help ensure "an adequate pipeline distribution of new private housing units to satisfy the needs of the population." But with a likely growth in supply of new jobs coming into the market within the next couple of years arising out of these en-bloc activities, the way the future market will respond to home costs that may increase in tandem with tender prices remains to be seen."
In May, Qingjian Realty purchased HUDC estate Shunfu Ville at a price of S$638 million. Shunfu Ville deal has resurrected collective sales from the doldrums which it's been consigned to. The Pearl Bank Apartments is among the residential buildings with 3 recent enbloc attempts which failed. With only 52 years of lease left on its 99-year lease, it remains to be seen if the 4th attempt would be go through.
In 2nd half of 2017, the market saw the completion sale of enbloc sites Sun Rosier and Jervois Garden, which are two freehold websites that closed on 21 and 26 September, respectively. After a failed attempt at an en bloc sale in 2014, the owners of Spring Grove condominium in Grange Road are searching for law firms and also a promotion agent that could help them market the estate to get at least $1 billion.
Three bidders for Florence Regency, a privatised HUDC estate in Hougang, are refusing to raise their bid prices to match the S$629 million evaluation for its growth, signalling that — even amid enbloc euphoria as developer fear a possibility of oversupply in the region. Constructed in the late 1980s, Florence Regency includes 336 units of maisonettes and apartments.
The 6th successful en-bloc sale is the privatized HUDC estate Serangoon Ville, which sold for $499m, well above the $400m to $430m the owners had been expecting.
A successful en-bloc sale requires not only a clear appreciation of what is driving the market and real ground up experience is required. In addition, the marketing agent have to show sincerity, patience, understanding and an ability to relate to and address the unique needs of every home owner in the developments so as to ensure that it is a win-win proposition for all parties.

Each week in the fall, NYPost.com's Dylan Butler and Joseph Staszewski will attempt to prognosticate the coming Catholic High School Football League weekend.
Butler: 14-2 (8-1 in Week 2)
Staszewski: 13-3 (9-0 in Week 2)
Here's Week 3:
St. Francis Prep @ Fordham Prep (Friday, 7 p.m.)
Butler: Someone has to win in this battle of winless teams. Fordham Prep's offense has scored, but it's defense has struggled to keep teams off the scoreboard. St. Francis Prep has done well defensively, but offensively? Not so much. Look for Prep to end its schneid. Fordham Prep, that is. Pick: Fordham Prep
Staszewski: Until the Terriers show me they can score points I can't pick them. Sorry guys. Fordham Prep is coming off two very tough losses the last two weeks and is probably licking their chops as they await SFP to arrive at Coffey. The Terriers defense played well against Chaminade last week, but I can see Bruce Grant having a big day on the ground. Pick: Fordham Prep
Mount St. Michael @ Kellenberg (Friday, 7 p.m.)
Butler: Mount was manhandled last week in a season-opening 41-14 loss to St. Joseph by the Sea and I fully expect the Mountaineers to bounce back in a big way against a Kellenberg team that was also embarrassed last week. Consider this one my lock of the week. Pick: Mount St. Michael
Staszewski: The Mountaineers were certainly not impressive last week in getting beaten every which way by St. Joseph by the Sea. Quarterback Jaylen Amaker was tired of hearing about the team's inexperience after the game. Well this is their week to put up. Kellenberg is certainly not Sea and Mount should be raring to go. I think the boys from The Bronx will get it done on the road. Pick: Mount St. Michael
St. Joseph by the Sea @ St. Anthony's (Friday, 7:30 p.m.)
Butler: Quite simply, this is the game of the week. On Staten Island last year, Sea hung with mighty St. Anthony's for three quarters before succumbing late. Greg Manos said his team is better this year and the Vikings certainly flexed their muscles in a 41-14 rout of Mount St. Michael. Now the true test, on the road, Friday night in South Huntington, L.I. Sea might finally beat the Friars, but not on Friday. Pick: St. Anthony's
Staszewski: There may not be a bigger stage in New York high school football than under the lights at St. Anthony's The Friars looked to be a juggernaut of a squad again, but St. Joseph by the Sea will be equal to the task. Coach Greg Mano's bunch is big, mean and athletic and features one of the best running attacks in the city. The Vikings will be loose and certainly not intimidated. St. Anthony's will find away to win, but this one will be close. Pick: St. Anthony's
Xavier @ St. John the Baptist (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.)
Butler: Last year this was a breathtaking, high-scoring game won by Baptist, 49-44. But Xavier is without Seamus Kelly and an experienced offensive line and the Cougars no longer have Thomas Beverly. But Baptist has plenty of offensive weapons and they'll put them on full display at home Saturday. Pick: St. John the Baptist
Staszewski: The Knights offense hasn't shown much life the last two weeks as the team is still adjusting to life after Kelly. St. John the Baptist ran all over St. Peter's last week, but showed they were susceptible to a good running game. I think Xavier will put up some points in this one, but the Cougars big play ability on both sides of the ball is what has me giving them the edge in this one. Pick: St. John the Baptist
Archbishop Stepinac @ Cardinal Spellman (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.)
Butler: I have two losses on the season, and both times I've picked against Archbishop Stepinac. Three times will not be the charm. I've learned my lesson. Tyrell Goodman and Caleb Gilligan-Evans will be too much for overmatched Spellman, which will be in for a long season. Pick: Archbishop Stepinac
Staszewski: The Pilots haven't quite left the hanger yet this season, struggling in their first two games under new head coach Dan Crane. This certainly isn't the matchup they would be looking for to get off the schneid. Stepinac has been impressive so far, posting wins over Fordham Prep and Xavier. The Crusaders will make it three in a row. Pick: Archbishop Stepinac
Christ the King @ St. Peter's (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.)
Butler: Another meeting of winless teams, both who have premier running backs (Christ the King has William Hunter, while St. Peter's has Hakim Rice, who had 170 yards on the ground in a 35-14 loss at St. John the Baptist. Playing at home, the Eagles will soar and come away with their first win. Pick: St. Peter's
Staszewski: This maybe as evenly matched game as you will find this weekend. Both the Eagles and Royals have excellent offensive weapons behind inexperienced offensive lines, including two of the fastest running backs in the city in Hakim Rice and Will Hunter. The game will come down to offensive line play and turnovers. Whoever gets one giveaway could win it. I'm going with the Eagles because they are home and played well last week, outside of a few turnovers. Pick: St. Peter's
Cardinal Hayes @ Bishop Ford (Saturday, 6 p.m.)
Butler: Cardinal Hayes earned some revenge for a loss in last year's Class A title game and pounded the Cardinal Spellman Pilots, 43-13. But now they take a step up in competition and face upstart Bishop Ford, a surprising 2-0 after beating Long Island Lutheran and Christ the King. The Falcons won't be 3-0, though. Pick: Cardinal Hayes
Staszewski: This game has shootout written all over it. Both teams have dynamic offenses. Ford had scored 77 points combined the last two weeks and Hayes put up 43 in its first game a week ago. The Falcons showed off wide receiver Steven Browne in its first game and that formidable running attack, lead by Devon Mitchell. Hayes featured one of the fastest men in New York City in Jeremiah Kobena. Pick: Bishop Ford
Xaverian @ Monsignor Farrell (Saturday, 7 p.m.)
Butler: This will also be an interesting match-up. On paper, Xaverian should have the edge and have been impressive in a pair of victories against Xavier and Fordham Prep. But the Clippers now head across the Verrazano and will meet a determined and improved Monsignor Farrell, who pull out the win in the Lions Den Saturday night. Pick: Monsignor Farrell
Staszewski: I am on the Clippers bandwagon until they give me a reason to jump off. They weren't overly impressive in a tight win over Fordham Prep last week, but there is a lot to like. Xaverian has three quality running backs in Muhammad King, Tushaun Plummer and freshman Zach Kearney. Quarterback Greg Rando can make some plays too, not to mention Syracuse-bound Mario Tull. They will be too much to handle, even for a good Lions defense. Pick: Xaverian
Holy Trinity @ Holy Cross (Sunday, 1:30 p.m.)
Butler: After watching the Knights' remarkable comeback and overtime win against Iona Prep from the sideline in New Rochelle last week (an upset I correctly predicted), I can't pick against the Knights here, not at home. Sure the Titans are 2-0 and crushed Kellenberg 35-3 last week, but there's no doubt Tom Pugh has warned his team about a letdown and they'll respond in their home opener. Pick: Holy Cross
Staszewski: Will there be a letdown for the Knights after their thrilling come-from-behind win over defending 'AAA' champion Iona Prep? There could be, but that fact that Tom Pugh's team is playing its first true home game of the season should be enough to counter that along with the thought they will not give up anything close to 42 points again. Trinity hasn't played an elite team yet, with wins over St. John the Baptist and Kellenberg. The drive from Hicksville to Bayside certainly won't help either. Pick: Holy Cross

Why not receive a copy of our free Personal Development Plan (PDP) template?
Written by Professional Academy guest bloggers Nicki Hayes and Charlotte Britton
Why mobile search, responsive design, user intention, natural language, keyword placement, semantics and fresh content updates will rule …
Technical strategist, Charlotte Britton, and strategic copywriter, Nicki Hayes, are eternally aware that Google will swiftly punish them if they fail to keep pace with its changes. So they catch up quarterly to reflect upon how to continue designing and delivering relevant content. In this quarter's session, they concluded that 2017 is going to be all about mobile search, responsive design, natural language processing, user intention and a constant flow of relevant and fresh content. Here are seven ways they recommend keeping pace if you, like them, want to be rewarded, not punished, by Google in 2017.
It is widely publicised that mobile search is growing at an exponential rate, compared to desktop search. It is also changing the way people are searching. Google is changing too, highly ranking sites with pages that upload quickly and that are optimized for mobile search – so copy that answers search terms typically expressed as questions (as well as, of course, content that shares location based information).
In response to the increase from mobile traffic, Google will love responsive design even more next year. So optimizing the user experience for the screen size, as well as intention, is going to become really important. Huffington Post has this sussed, if you want to see an example of best practice.
We'll talk more about this and how to dovetail content writing into your technical strategy in a future post, focussing in a little more on semantic HTML.
Since a February 2016 update, Google has been smarter than ever on punishing over-optimization and will continue to 'sharpen its smart' in 2017, especially as new malpractices, such as cloaking mobile content to improve desktop search results, come to its analysts' attention. Google set up a spam team back in 2015 to see how prevalent this practice was. Suprisingly, it was not an issue back then, but this does not mean that Google won't take action on webmasters who choose to take this route. Plus, as Google built a separate mobile index in 2015 and has been experimenting with it since, it is always possible that they will go live with it in 2017 should cloaking become an issue.
Even though Google hasn't gone live with mobile indexing this year (so far), last year witnessed it developing smart algorithms to filter out cunning copywriting techniques that sent pages racing up search results. One well-used technique was stuffing keywords into copy, regardless of relevance, to ensure a 3-5% ratio. Google now punishes this practice, whilst rewarding natural language that matches users' intentions (searchers' search terms), thanks to another intelligent algorithm.
We predict that, as mobile search becomes even more dominant in 2017, natural language, especially language that suits the questioning nature of mobile search terms and enables accelerated mobile pages, will gain still greater reward.
So, are keywords dead and should you just write as you speak then?
It's not quite as simple as that, sadly. Keywords are not and never will be dead. It's just that their placement is now more important than their frequency. A 3-5% or higher keyword ratio became punishable in 2016. We've been keeping ours down to below 3%. We've been placing our keywords in the title, URL, first 100 words, headings and sub headings (H1 and H2 tags) and the last 100 words of our content. We've been rewarded. We'll keep on doing this until we're aware that we need to do differently. We recommend you do so too.
What are LSI keywords?
LSI keywords are 'Latent Semantic Index' keywords, where latent means hidden and semantic means meaning. So by 'use LSI keywords', we mean, identify alternative keywords (search terms) that hold the same meaning yet add some value by more accurately meeting the intended results of the user.[1]
Why are LSI keywords important?
Various Google 2015 and 2016 updates focussed on better understanding search intention and content relevance and the type of context LSI keywords provide enables Google to easier identify relevant web pages.
As Google focuses even more on mobile search and reactive design in 2017, semantics will become vital. Creating and clustering pages around LSI keywords has worked for us in 2016 and we'll keep on doing this in 2017, until we become aware that this needs to be done differently.
Being canny about using LSI search terms also has enabled us to avoid being penalised for over-optimization of keywords, by improving user experience. As stated previously, Google is all about matching for user intention and relevance to search terms now, so, do this and Google will love you!
[1] For example: perhaps you found this post by typing in "What are LSI keywords". That is because those clever folk at Professional Academy used this exact expression as a LSI search term when posting this blog.

Finally, LSI keywords help you to create diverse anchor texts (the visible, clickable words used to link one page to another) something else for which Google will reward you.

Long tail keywords are strings of multiple keywords that talk about specific areas of your site and, typically, reflect someone at the end of their buying research, so convert better. They can have three or four words or be as long as a sentence. For example Professional Academy's long tail key words include: professional qualification provider; corporate training provider; sales and marketing qualifications; digital marketing qualifications and professional accreditation provider.
Why are long-tail words becoming more important?
Google (and other search engines) encourage long-tail words as a way to foster the type of natural conversational search experience they're after. Long-tail keywords match user intention and ensure relevance; as such they are rewarded with higher keyword ROI and higher quality traffic. This will become even more so in 2017 with Google's focus on mobile search and reactive design.
For more in depth information about why long-tail keywords are important take a look at The Ultimate Guide For Mastering Long Tail Search.
Why not use the really deep keywords on the long-tail to create a free report or eBook, or even a fee-generating download? It could establish you as a thought-leader and protect your niche for longer 'Clean Communication' is a fantastic example of such canny content.

Google's Googlebot crawls the web, constantly searching for new or updated web pages and then adding such fresh content to Google's index. If you update your content often with reliable and valuable information (following the advice above), your site will rank higher with each update.
So, think about changing images, adding case studies, tweaking titles and sub titles (with different key words) as often as possible. The easiest and most effective way we've found to keep our clients' content fresh though, is to add a blog to their site and to post new articles as frequently as possible. Everytime someone comments on a blog, Googlebot interprets it as a site update and reindexes it.
So there you have it, our view on why mobile search, responsive design, user intention, natural language, keyword placement, semantics and regular fresh content updates will rule next year. We'll be following these tips to keep our content standards high, whilst continuing to monitor and report on Google updates and their implications for Professional Academy.

On Wednesday mornings I take my son to Spielgruppe, a local play group in my neighborhood.
Last year, I tried going and became frustrated not knowing what was going on all the time with everything in German and just didn't feel comfortable. The babies were so little that the class was more for the mothers to converse while trading stories and tips than for the babies to "socialize."
The next time the class was offered, the morning time didn't work in conjunction with my son's eating and sleeping schedule so I decided to forego the class. Annnndddd… I wasn't looking forward to feeling like a wall-flower in a room full of social moms again. Anyone who knows me well will say I am anything but a wall-flower.
Since I moved here, one thing I've promised myself is that if something feels like it is doing more harm than good, I am not going to do it. I mean, I'm already living in Germany, how much further out of my comfort zone do I have to go?
It wasn't until visiting with some friends a few weeks ago when my son kept being a little more forceful than I'd like and I decided I needed to make sure he was getting more social time with other babies/toddlers.
So, I decided maybe it was time to get back in the saddle again. My German skills were improving and I was in a good place. Not only that, but I felt that this was more important for my son than for me.
I rang the instructor's door and asked about the possibility for my son to join this session of Spielgruppe. There was room for him in the group, but again I wasn't getting a warm and fuzzy feeling.
The first couple of times went okay, other than my son throwing plastic balls across the room and pelting other children to the point where I wondered where he learned to play dodge ball.
But now the social aspect is making me feel awkward and frustrated again.
Today's class started off rocky. I tried to arrive earlier because I always seem to be the last to show up… Those darn punctual Germans…last again. And I was five minutes early.
I got my son down from the harness, took off his jacket, and all the moms already had plastic canisters of bubbles in hand. You know, the long round tubes with lids?
Since I was last, I received what I call a dysfunctional bubble maker. It was an orange, round open-face saucer of sorts with a large blue, bubble-maker having several holes (it was about 3 to 4 inches in diameter).
The soapy water wasn't cooperating and after the first three bubbles, I was no longer able to make anymore.
What the h@ll? I played the flute for eight d*mn years and never had any trouble blowing stupid, silly bubbles.
Needles to say, my son was immediately bored, tried to grab the saucer and when I wouldn't let him have it started chasing other mom's bubbles. (Ah-HAaaaa…other mom's bubbles… sorry… okay… moving forward.)
Unable to have a hand free to manage the little guy, I panicked and thought I could dunk the bubble maker into the saucer, swish it into the air like you see on the commercials and distract my son with a bunch of glorious bubbles so he would come back.
What happened instead was a bunch of soapy water went flying onto the floor and across the room.
I looked up at the instructor with big eyes…I don't think she knew what to say and at the same time I mumbled, "Sorry?" as she was saying, "It's okay."
Next it was time to bring out the floor mats. All the moms typically help move them into place, but because I don't speak German, I don't know where they should go.
I usually wait a moment, watch the first couple of moms, and then follow suit. And at the same time trying to keep an eye on my little one.
I shouldn't compare myself to a deaf person, but sometimes I feel as though I have skimmed the surface of what it would feel like. (American Sign Language is even easier to learn than German. I'm not joking. It is.)
My son is a little older than some of the toddlers and a bit more aggressive. So, yes, most of the time is spent chasing him down and making him give back pacifiers which he has stolen, or moving him away from the slide so others can play too.
Also he has started temper-tantrums and a small meltdown occurred leaving me horrified as the other mothers looked on.
One mother who is always such a sweetheart tried to talk to me today, I'm assuming because she's noticed I'm kind of just "there." She had asked if I had registered my son for kindergarten yet…at least I think that's what she asked.
And it was one of those unsuspecting moments where all I could think to say was, "Noch nicht." (Not yet.) But then what else? Was that what she even asked? Duh-oh! You sounded so stupid. Couldn't you think of anything else to say? She was trying to be nice.
Sometimes it's just easier to keep my head down and pretend like I'm not really there so I don't encounter a situation in which I don't understand. Kind of like being in high school when the teacher starts to ask, "And who can tell me…?" and immediately everyone looks down while thinking, don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact.
I guess what frustrates me most is not knowing if what my son is doing fits into what is supposed to be happening during the class; I don't know if I should be guiding him in another way or if he is okay to be set loose. What are the instructions? And where are the boundaries?
Although, chasing down your child is the perfect distraction to not having to try and converse…at least, that is what I tell myself.
After today's class, so many thoughts are going through my head.
Am I being too sensitive? Should I try to talk more? Am I not focusing enough when instructions are given? Should I know what the instructor is saying? Am I chasing my son too much? Is my son too much of a distraction? Am I too much of a distraction?
But now, I'm at the point where I have to tell myself I am being too sensitive and I am worrying too much.
I will continue to go because I know it is good for my son, and most probably it will end up being good for me too. GGgggrrr! I still don't see how this can be good for me.
But I do love that today during the songs at the end, my son was clapping his hands and finally became relaxed. He doesn't care in what language the songs are or that his mommy is saying all the words wrong. And that's all that matters to me.
Thankfully the weather is warming up, we can go outside, play with the other kids, and I don't have to worry about understanding any instructions.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The University of South Florida will allow guns to be kept in cars on campus under a policy change prompted by a recent appeals court ruling.
The Tampa school previously prohibited guns anywhere on its property. Monday officials announced lifting of the prohibition on keeping a gun in a car. Guns still cannot be carried onto the campus under state law.
Last month the 1st District Court of Appeal ruled that Florida colleges and universities don't have authority to prohibit guns from being stored in cars.
Gun rights groups had threatened to sue any university that continued to ban guns in cars following the appeals ruling.
Florida State University and the University of North Florida are among schools changing gun policy following the decision.

Wheel and axle
From Conservapedia
The Wheel and axle is a simple machine which provides a mechanical advantage in turning a rod by using a wheel to turn a rod. This mechanical advantage is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle. The wheel and axle can also be used to increase the speed at which the axle turns, because the outer edge of the wheel travels much more quickly that the edge of the axle.[1]

Five years ago when my oldest daughter started middle school volleyball, I declared to her after observing a few matches that I could coach a winning team by doing just one thing. I would, I told her, spend every practice having every girl practice serving. 100s of serves each, every practice. Not until every player could serve with 90% success 90% of the time would we even practice anything else. And by serving well and consistently, the team would win every game. Of that I was certain.
And now my youngest is playing girls middle school volleyball, and nothing has changed on these middle school teams. I watched two matches last night. If a coach, at that level, were to do nothing other than teach every kid how to serve the ball over the net with 90% success, that team would win every game even if they lacked the ability to do anything else.
How did I become an expert at girl's volleyball? Simply by observing the mathematical fact that very few serves are successfully returned. Often, less than 10%. Get a serve over, you get a point, 9 out of 10 times. And most players can't get a serve over. Thus, the games are reduced to a contest of missed serves and missed returns, with very few actual volleys back and forth.
At the level of play I was observing, the team who got the most serves over the net won, period. To confirm this, I even kept a scratch sheet one match, tracking the number of serves made and missed by each team. And the theory was proven. No team ever wins without getting the most serves over the net.
Having run out of magazines to read around the house this month, I perused my bookshelf of old books the other night and pulled down my old copy of Eat That Frog! and started rereading it. There on page 19 is the chapter about the 80/20 rule, or Pareto's Principle. Vilfredo Pareto would have been a successful Realtor because he would have understood how to use his time and focus his efforts. The rule says, simply, that 20% of our efforts account for 80% of our results. Or, stated the other way around, 80% of what we do accounts for only 20% of the results. We should, therefore, figure out what activities or efforts produce the most solid results, and focus on doing a lot of those things and less of the other. This is actually the same observation about serving that one can make while watching middle school girl's volleyball.
Were I to coach a 7th grade girls volleyball team and employ my serving theory, my team might not consist of the most well rounded players, but they'd know how to serve consistently and we'd win every game. We'd be champions by doing just one thing really well with consistency.
So what's this have to do with real estate and whether Realtors are successful or not?
It has everything to do with it. When other agents or even regular people we know ask me and Sylvia "how's the real estate business?", and we say, "great, we're staying really busy", they often seem surprised. "I thought it was a terrible market in Austin and everybody is really slow, how do you guys stay busy?", they ask. The question is answered in 5 simple words…
Back in 2005 when Sylvia and I started CrosslandTeam.com and our Austin Real Estate Blog, we were in the process of taking a break from Property Management, having just sold our Property Management company the year before and taken a year off from real estate altogether. When we started back, we only brokered sales, mainly to investors at first, but eventually to mostly regular home buyers and sellers, which now make up the majority of our buyers and sellers.
Now, 5+ years later, we've built up a small portfolio of fee managed homes again, at present almost 50 managed homes. Sales remains our main focus, and we're still very busy, averaging 3 or 4 closings most months, even in the down market. But the property management side of the business has slowly grown as well.
Why is that a problem?
The problem in trying to run two real estate brokerage specialties under one website is that each dilutes the other. It's frustrating to me, when talking to a prospect, to hear "oh, you manage homes too?", or, ironically, the opposite, "oh, you do sales also?". Both have perused the same website here at CrosslandTeam.com but, depending on which pages they landed on and read, or which blog articles, come away with differing messages about what we do. Or, as one prospect told me incorrectly once, "you guys seem like you're more of a management company than a sales company". What? NOT TRUE, darn it. That's the problem.
Additionally, in trying to remain findable by those who need to hire an Austin Realtor and/or Property Manager, it's hard to focus the website keyword optimization efforts, as well as the site content, on two different types of businesses, no matter how closely related. This affects the choices for title tags and meta descriptions used on site pages and in blog articles.
So I'm announcing today the launch of our new sister site dedicated specifically to Property Management and Landlord-Tenant issues, CrosslandProperties.com.

The Austin rental market remains strong, and rent values continue to rise overall. Let's start with a look at the historic rental value graph. Going back to 1999, the YTD 2010 average and median rental rates still remain below the peaks of 2000/2001.
The big dip in rental rates in Austin following the peak in 2000/2001 was a result of the tech bubble (does anyone even remember that) followed by 9/11. Around the tail end of 2005 our real estate sales market started picking up after remaining flat for 4 years, and rental values started to rise as well. We're almost back to where we were at the start of the decade.
Next, the chart below shows August year-over-year rental market stats for Austin.
The average year-to-date sold price for homes in Austin is $256K, which just broke through the (peak) year 2007 YTD of $255K.
Now, there is a lot of discussion and caveats that must be considered along with this milestone statistic, but nevertheless, look at the graph below for a visual representation of where average and median home prices in Austin stand right now relative to past years. Further down you'll find additional monthly and YTD stats and an overview of what Sylvia and I are seeing in the real estate market in Austin as we continue to wheeze through the tax credit hangover and head into the fall/winter months .
Looking at the above graph, one might assume that home prices are rising in Austin. Actually, what's happening more specifically is that fewer lower priced homes are selling than before, as a percentage of all homes sold. This is dragging the average and medians upward. Nevertheless, the graph remains what it is and to the casual observer, newspaper reporter, or market cheerleaders, this will be fodder for the simple utterance that "prices are rising in Austin". The real question is, is your particular home worth more today than is was at the peak in 2007?, and the answer is "probably not", unless it's a sub $200K home. The graph is really a reflection of segment and price range shifts.
Below is the chart for August sales, YTD sales, a Pending Sales analysis, and some other stuff that I hope you'll find interesting and useful.
What makes Austin real estate buyers happy? The answer may surprise you. What apparently doesn't make a buyer happy is a rock bottom price at a 4.37% interest rate. If that was the case, there'd be far less buyer angst and hand wringing than there is now in the Austin real estate market. We'd have far fewer buyers in Austin flaking out on home purchase transactions for no good reason.
No, buyers are happiest in a seller's market, winning a multiple offer bid-up against 5 competing buyers, and paying 10% over market value at 6.25% interest, and happily covering the appraisal shortage with additional cash at closing. This is not a joke, I'm dead serious. The latter 6.25% buyer feels victorious and ebullient about the purchase. The former 4.37% buyer feels like, perhaps, a mistake was made.
Austin buyers were much happier in 2007, at the peak of the market, when they had a lot less to pick from and had to work a lot harder to find a home. Buyer remorse, buyer finickiness, buyer flakiness, and just plain old cold feet existed to a far lesser degree in the harsher buying environment of 2007 than in the buyer's dream market of today. Don't believe me? Go ask any production Realtor in Austin. By "production", I mean, go talk to Realtors who are busy and closing deals every month, like me and Sylvia. Ask listing agents if it's a lot harder to get deals across the finish line today than 3 years ago, notwithstanding loan impediments, just purely from a buyer emotion standpoint. They'll tell you it is and they'll have stories of buyers backing out for frivilous reasons, or, in some cases, no stated reason at all.
This doesn't make sense, I know. So what's going on here? Why all the buyer angst?
As someone who's bought and sold a bunch of rentals, and helped other investors buy, sell and manage investment property in Austin for a number of years, I'm about to ask a question that might seem counter to my professional mission of being in service to real estate investors.
Is rental property investing in Austin still a good way to build long term wealth?
My answer, for a lot of people, is "probably not".
Let me rephrase the question.
Is rental property investing in Austin a good way to lose money and create financial stress in one's life?
Absolutely. More so than ever.
So, am I saying you shouldn't invest in real estate in Austin, or elsewhere? No, I think everyone should consider doing so. But I do think, after careful consideration, a much higher percentage of people should decide against it than would have been the case 15 years ago. The opportunity for mistakes, bad decisions and cash flow disruption for the real estate investor today is much greater than in past years.
In other words, your margin of error is very thin. You better know what you're doing, or have a good adviser. Success is harder to achieve than if you started in the 1980s or 1990s simply because today's ratios are thinner. The financial and psychological profile of a good candidate real estate investor today has a much higher bar to clear than in years past. Let's take a look at why that is.

English voice actor: Andrew Love
Takuma is a calm figure who enjoys solving crossword puzzles and would occasionally banter with the other guardians. He is more mature than Mahiro, despite him being younger than Mahiro. He respects people older than him and acts like a brother to his fellow guardians.
Although that, he still has a quite immature side, such as having arguments with Tamaki over small things and teasing his fellow guardians. It is frequently shown that he loves taiyaki and meat.
At first, he seems to be cold and impatient with Tamaki. He even voices his dislikes of becoming a "prisoner" to the village and princess. But as time passes, he starts acting more gentle and open to her. Watching her protectively and giving her advice if needed.
First, he likes her as a friend but then it changes into romantic feelings which she returns.
As the reincarnation of the Underworld God, Takuma is the strongest physical fighter, being able to destroy a Drowned-God with a single punch. Although his immense strength is very difficult to control, his determination in battle shows that he has an amazing amount of stamina - being the one to always get up first when knocked down - and is always the first one to react to any situation with incredible precision.
He also has a good memory, being able repeat and use spells given by Tamaki's grandmother, but it takes a lot of his stamina. After being awakened as a guardian he held the appearance of his Underworld God predecessor, but can now fully control his power.
Relationship with CharactersEdit
Tamaki Kasuga - In the beginning episodes, Takuma's relationship with Tamaki is unclear as to whether or not he viewed his relationship with her as only a guardian or something more. Due to the fact that Takuma is the reincarnation of the Underworld God and Tamaki is the Tamayori Princess, their relation is critical to the plot. The end of Season One in Hiiro No Kakera showed Tamaki using her own power to control Takuma's inner demon that was released because of the Onikirimaru. Once again, the realtionship of the two was uncertain.
In Season Two, the story continued with Tamaki relieving her moments with all the guardians and characters. As the episodes progressed, it was Tamaki who told Takuma her feelings when she attempted to seal the demon within him. Their relationship as lovers was forbidden, even in their former life, but they escape together and sealed the Onikirimaru, sharing a moment before Tamaki decides to seal the sword. Tamaki and Takuma kiss two times in Season Two of Hiiro no Kakera.
Mahiro Atori - Mahiro Atori is Takuma's senpai, and often takes out his anger on Takuma. Though they do not always get along, their relationship as guardians and friends remain strong.
Yuuichi Komura - Yuuichi Komura is an upperclassman, and has the ability to sleep anywhere at anytime. He is the one who grounds the team together with common sense, one of the traits Takuma occasionally lacks.
Shinji Inukai - Shinji Inukai is one grade below Takuma, and was one of the traitors who leaked information to the Logos. He is one of the main supports of the team because of his optimistic attitude he puts on the majority of time to encourage Tamaki and Takuma.
Suguru Oomi - Suguru Oomi is the unofficial leader of the guardians, in the beginning, however, he is found a traitor when he joined the Logos which was not true. He is reliable and often tries to reassure Tamaki. He does not interact much with Takuma.
Ryou Kutani - Ryou Kutani is in the same year as Takuma and Tamaki, but is actually one year older, this was because he was suspended from school. He has an impulse to sniff Tamaki due to his ancestor's blood, the wolf's. He saves Takuma and Tamaki in more than one occasion.

April 1, 2016
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Ozone season begins April 1 and the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has begun issuing daily forecasts for ground-level ozone, the agency announced today. High concentrations of ozone can create breathing problems, especially for children, people with asthma or other respiratory problems, and adults who work or exercise outdoors. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ozone can also cause tree and crop damage.
The most significant things to cause ground-level ozone to form are oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and UV radiation from sunlight. High ozone concentrations generally occur on hot, sunny days when the air is stagnant. Mobile sources of air pollution, such as cars, trucks, and lawn equipment, contribute to more than half of South Carolina's ozone levels.
"Clean air helps us live healthier lives. DHEC provides ozone forecasts to help the public make healthy decisions about outdoor activities," said Rhonda Thompson, interim chief of the DHEC Bureau of Air Quality. "If ozone levels are forecast to reach unhealthy levels, we will declare an 'ozone action day' advising people to reduce their activity levels outdoors - especially those with respiratory conditions, such as asthma."
"Having the daily forecast informs people about air quality and lets them know when to reduce activities outside, but there are also things we can all do to reduce air pollution," said Thompson.
For more information about ground-level ozone pollution, ways to help reduce it, and how to avoid potential health
impacts, visit www.scdhec.gov/ozone.

Triplash is a noun that describes the specific physical and emotional effects on an individual following a trip. Triplash carries an inference that people already understand and can relate to whiplash, the physical sensation. Triplash encompasses a variety of miseries associated with travel, and is fairly self-explanatory.
"I was so exhausted after we got home it was surreal. My head was still in Vegas, my clothes smelled like the plane, my suitcase is in my car, and I'm so weak all I can do is lie in bed and wonder at the sounds coming out of my kids' mouths."
"Oh man, you have total triplash."

That is indeed my plan! I thought yours came out great, and looked very professional. I'm off to print out that pattern as soon as I can find a printer that isn't at work. …because it would probably be pretty awkward if I printed lingerie patterns at work. :/
Take care, and thanks for sharing your version!
