A reticulocyte count is a blood test that measures the percentage of reticulocytes in the blood. Reticulocytes are slightly immature red blood cells.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
The test is done to determine if red blood cells are being created in the bone marrow at an appropriate rate. The number of reticulocytes in the blood is a sign of how quickly they are being produced and released by the bone marrow.
Normal Results
A normal result for healthy adults who are not anemic is around 0.5%-1.5%.
The normal range depends on the level of hemoglobin. The range is higher if there is low hemoglobin due to bleeding or red cell destruction. Hemoglobin is a protein in red cells that carries oxygen.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A higher than normal reticulocytes count may indicate:
- Anemia due to red blood cells being destroyed earlier than normal (
hemolytic anemia)
- Bleeding
- Blood disorder in a fetus or newborn known as erythroblastosis fetalis
- Kidney disease, with increased production of a hormone called
A lower than normal reticulocyte count may indicate:
- Bone marrow failure (for example, from drug toxicity, tumor, radiation therapy, or infection)
Cirrhosis of the liver
- Anemia caused by low iron levels
- Chronic
kidney disease
- Anemia caused by low levels of
Vitamin B12or folate
Reticulocyte count may be increased during pregnancy.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

With the ever so amazing Academy Awards coming up in just a few weeks, there are so many great Nominees I wanted to shine a little light on with their award winning roles. We always love seeing Amy Adams and Sandra Bullock on the big screen, so why not see what designer swimwear would be perfect for them. With spring just around the corner we have fun sexy styles that fit both of their personalities and styles.
I am not shy to say that Sandra Bullock is one of my all time favorite actresses, with her roles in The Proposal, Miss Congeniality, While You Were Sleeping as well as many more. Within her career she has ranked the highest paid actress. With always being in the spotlight she has to look amazing 24/7 right? So I thought she would look amazing in Rich Girl luxury swimwear. Black is such a powerful color and Sandra seems to wear it so well. It not only makes women feel more confident but you can also mix and match it with any accessory for a fun unique look. With fun gold leather hardware it will show off her curves and amazing tan..that's a double plus in my book! I am excited to see if she is awarded an award but until then I can only cross my fingers and hope she wins!
It's no wonder Amy Adams is a nominee for American Hustle, she played such a great role in that movie. In the course of her career she has been nominated for five Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. Amy's career started when she was little performing in dinner theaters until she landed her role in Drop Dead Gorgeous. Since then she has starred in Catch Me If You Can, The Fighter, Superman and Enchanted which is one of my personal favs. I have seen Amy wear a variety of different colors but I think that Navy works great with her hair and skin tone. She seems so down to earth and has such a bubbly personality, I thought American Girl would work just right. Who wouldn't love navy and white stripes with super cute gold hardware. This bikini would be perfect when she is on vaca or just hanging out with family and friends!

Jewel felt like she was able to channel her inner hillbilly for the role of country singing star June Carter Cash in the upcoming TV film "Ring of Fire."
She had, after all, grown up in rural Alaska with very few amenities. And she knows something about country music.
"I grew up on a homestead with an outhouse as an Alaskan hillbilly, and I know June and her family (from Virginia) were hillbillies in their own right," said Jewel, 38. "As an actress, it's a challenging role. I know for actresses, the singing might make them uncomfortable. But for me, I can do the singing, but the acting is a challenge."
The Lifetime movie, which is based on a biography of June by John Carter Cash (her son with Johnny Cash), is supposed to air this spring. But Jewel probably isn't sitting around waiting for the movie to air — she's got a pretty busy spring booked as she continues to find a balance between motherhood and her career.
She took the role of Carter Cash at least partly because she could have her baby, Kase, with her during filming. And on her current "Greatest Hits Tour," she's got Kase, now 18 months old, with her as well. In fact, she'll have him with her when she brings her tour to Portland's Merrill Auditorium on Sunday.
Jewel has been doing online research to find things to do with toddlers in southern Maine so she and Kase can have some fun together during any off time she might have.
"I've been looking for things to do with kids — children's museums, things like that," said Jewel, who is married to champion bull rider Ty Murray and lives in rural Texas. "I'm glad I'm able to have him with me."
Although she is still relatively young, Jewel has been performing professionally since she was a teenager. So besides personal changes, like having a baby, she's seen a lot of shifts in the music industry since her first major hit, "Who Will Save Your Soul," in 1995.
A positive change for her has been the evolution of social media that allows her to interact, albeit electronically, with fans.
"For me, that's been great. I love the Twitter," said Jewel, who then let out a chuckle. "Huh. I said 'the Twitter' — just like my grandma."
Jewel went out of her way to interact with fans about three years ago as a skit for the website Funnyordie.com, started by comedian Will Ferrell's production company. In the skit, Jewel enters a Los Angeles karaoke bar disguised (dark wig, fake nose, enhanced rear end) as a woman named Karen who is in town attending a frozen foods convention.
After a while, her faux fellow conventioners convince her to sing, and what does Karen pick? A Jewel song, of course.
"I was a little reluctant, because I thought it might be narcissistic, but it turned out to be touching. All those folks were really pulling for Karen to make it," she said. "It was very sweet. It reminded me of when I sang in bars and nobody knew me, yet there were people really pulling for me."
Jewel says one negative thing about the music industry that has not changed during her career is the way labels continue to pigeonhole artists, trying to market their music narrowly so it fits into some sales report category.
She is still frustrated that one of her bigger pop hits, "You Were Meant for Me," was never really marketed to country stations, even though she thought of it as a country song.
"It was because my label didn't have a relationship with country stations and they just wouldn't do it," said Jewel. "And the industry is still that way. They want to put you in very specific boxes, but I don't think fans experience music that way.
"Record labels are so far behind in how fans want to enjoy music. That's why the Internet snuck up on them. My advice to bands today is to do it the old-fashioned way: Build up a fanbase, make a cheap record. Then when you do have a chance to get signed, you'll have some leverage. Or you can get to the point where you can record independently."
Although she doesn't think her music fits neatly into a box — pop, folk or country — Jewel has made an effort in recent years to reach out to country radio stations and embrace country fans.
She recently did a new version of "You Were Meant for Me" with country star Miranda Lambert and The Pistol Annies that was slower and more "angsty" than the original.
"The country community is loud and proud, and they don't want someone coming to them under false pretenses," she said. "I didn't mind going out and introducing myself to the country stations. I don't feel like I'm entitled."
Born Jewel Kilcher, Jewel grew up in Homer, Alaska, in a house without indoor plumbing. She and her father earned some of their income by singing in local bars. As a teen, she studied music at an arts academy in Michigan, and soon began writing songs and touring the country.
She was discovered in California around 1994, and her debut album on Altantic Records, "Pieces of You," came out a year later, when she was 21. The CD became a smash hit, going platinum 12 times over and spawning three Top 20 hits: "Who Will Save Your Soul," "You Were Meant for Me" and "Foolish Games."
Although immediately bunched in with the sensitive female singer-songwriter genre of the mid-'90s, Jewel has preferred to experiment with different musical styles over her career, finding success each time. When she released her first country album in 2008, "Perfectly Clear," for example, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard country charts.
For her "Greatest Hits" album, just released on Tuesday, she re-recorded some of her best-known songs, including the aforementioned "You Were Meant for Me" and "Foolish Games" with Kelly Clarkson.
One thing that has not changed for Jewel during her career is the strength of her voice, which she says she does nothing special to take care of. She doesn't even limit the number of consecutive shows to give it a rest, as some performers might.
"I don't like to spread a tour out too long, so I'll do 18 shows in 18 days," said Jewel. "I never really do vocal warm-ups. Maybe it's because I sang in bars and did five-hour sets. I've just always been able to sing a lot."

Our friend David from TmoNews posted a rumor over the weekend that T-Mobile is planning to launch the myTouch 2 or myTouch Slide this spring. The device is codenamed the HTC Expresso and said to feature the latest revision of the Sense UI.
The myTouch Slide has been pegged for May 17, 2010 which falls in the Q2/Spring 2010 timeframe we were expecting the Android 2.1 update for first generation phones. T-Mobile could choose to launch Android 2.1 on the Slide first and then roll it out to other devices similar to how it launched Android 1.5 with the original myTouch 3G.
Surprisingly, the myTouch Slide will feature the same 528 MHz Qualcomm chipset as the myTouch 3G so it looks like T-Mobile will continue to push the myTouch line of phones to the mid-level, mainstream crowd. Other reports are also suggesting the device would have a physical slide out keyboard similar to the Sidekick. T-Mobile currently offers the myTouch 3G for $149 and I would expect a similar price point for the Slide launch (or even lower).
T-Mobile told us their myTouch brand would be around awhile and they are planning more quarterly issues of the 100% you. myTouch magazine. We have also seen HTC Expresso UI leaked a couple of weeks ago (see video below), so I would rate this rumor highly believable.
I doubt the addition of a physical keyboard is enough to warrant a phone upgrade from current myTouch 3G owners, but if the Slide is priced right ($99-149) this could be a hot product for the back to school shopping season.


text: WASHINGTON -- Denard Span will take the five hits, of course, especially with three of them coming off Johnny Cueto. Mike Bibby Jersey . Hell take greater satisfaction in the way he was able to create havoc the way a leadoff hitter should, using his speed to get the Cincinnati Reds to commit a pair of errors in the Washington Nationals 9-4 win Tuesday night. "I got more gratification just disrupting them and getting them to throw the ball away," Span said. "For me thats how I have to take over a game." And take over, he did. He finished 5 for 5 with two runs, two doubles, two RBIs and a stolen base as he and the Nationals accomplished a first for 2014: They made Cueto (4-3) look mortal. The Reds ace allowed more than two runs, more than five hits and failed to pitch at least seven innings -- all for the first time this season. His final line: 5 1-3 innings, six hits, eight runs (six earned), six strikeouts. He also hit two batters in the same inning -- the seven-run sixth when the Nationals blew the game open. "They played really well. And you know what? Im human. Im human," Cueto said through an interpreter. "I just got to keep my head up and keep working. Thats all I got to do." It was Cuetos shortest start since Sept. 16, 2013, and his most runs allowed since Sept. 22, 2010. His ERA rose from 1.25 to 1.86. He wasnt helped by a Reds defence that committed four errors -- twice as many as in any previous game this season. "He wasnt just the groundball machine, strikeout machine that hes been to this point," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "Its just the law of averages caught up with us today." Doug Fister (1-1), making his home Nationals debut, allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings with good movement on his fastball. He had a streak of 12 retired batters in a row, and he worked out of a jam in the sixth with the help of a diving stop by third baseman Anthony Rendon and a tiptoe stretch by first baseman Tyler Moore that turned Rendons throw into the third out. Above all, Span was the unstoppable agitator, and it paid off in the Reds calamitous third and sixth innings. Fister led off the third by reaching on an error when first baseman Todd Frazier couldnt backhand a grounder. Span then tried to bunt his way on and did even better, laying one down that prompted a wide throw from third baseman Ramon Santiago. Fister scored all the way from first, and Span ended up on third and scored on Rendons sacrifice fly to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead. In the sixth, Span led off with a single, then stole second and went to third when catcher Brayan Penas throw went into centre field. Span scored on Jayson Werths RBI single and eventually came around to bat again in the inning, bringing home two more runs with a double off lefty reliever Sean Marshall. "Thats a good sign. I hit a lefty like that, a breaking-ball lefty," Span said. "Stay back and drive the ball like that. I havent done that in a while." The evenings work raised Spans batting average from.239 to .263. Before the game, manager Matt Williams said he was sticking with Span when asked about a possible change in the leadoff spot. The big night might be the turning point that justifies Williams patience. "Looking back at last year, he started a really good streak in the second half," Williams said, "so certainly it can get him going." NOTES: Spans five hits tied a career high. ... The Reds have committed six errors thus far in two-game series -- they had only 13 all season before arriving in D.C. ... Cincinnati 1B Joey Votto missed his fifth straight game with a strained left quadriceps. Price said he hopes Votto will return when the Reds open a homestand Friday. "We just remain optimistic that Joeys going to be ready to play when we get back." ... Cincinnati RHP Mat Latos (left knee, right elbow) threw the equivalent of two innings in a simulated game and could be slotted for a minor league rehab start Sunday. ... Reds OF Jay Bruce (left knee) is eligible to return from the disabled list Wednesday. ... Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman (right thumb fracture) saw an occupational therapist to get a splint and that will allow him to start throwing the ball. Theres still no timetable for his return. ... Reds RHP Alfredo Simon faces RHP Tanner Roark in Wednesdays series finale. Allen Iverson Jersey . Since coming to the big leagues in late May, La Stella is 6 for 7 with the bases loaded, driving in 13 runs in those at-bats. Zach Randolph Jersey . -- Without Carey Price, the run for a first Stanley Cup in 21 years got steeper and longer for the Montreal Canadiens.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have cut little-used veteran running back Tashard Choice. The team announced the move in a one-sentence release issued on Wednesday before the Bills (4-8) returned to practice to prepare for their game at Tampa Bay (3-9) on Sunday. Choice is a six-year NFL veteran, who wass in his third season in Buffalo. Jarell Martin Jersey. He ranks third on the team with 126 yards rushing behind co-starters C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson. Choices best outing came in a 35-17 loss at New Orleans on Oct. 27, when he had seven carries for 35 yards. He also has four catches for 10 yards.

I have AMD Catalyst 11.11 running flawlessly in LMDE. Not sure how you went about installing, but this is how I did it after a fresh install....../dev/urandom wrote:ATI does not work well with KDE on Mint DE either. Not sure why.
1. Download 11.11 from AMD's site
2. Right click on the downloaded file and make it executable
3. Double click the file and choose to open in terminal
4. Install process is smooth from there
5. Reboot
6. Right click on Admin mode icon and change launch properties to gksu amdcccle
7. Double click Admin mode icon, make your changes, then reboot. All should work fine....
I have eyefinity across 3 27" screens and they work flawlessly. In fact, of all distros I've tried, and there are MANY, LMDE was the easiest of all to configure my graphics cards (2x 6970's in crossfire). If you have any questions let me know.

emptyspaceads necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 240 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
LetsDivvy (http://letsdivvy.com) is the Internet's first and pre-eminent marketplace for splitting things.
How it works:
1) Pick Stuff – Choose from a list of things that you want to split
2) Get Matched – We match you with someone in your social network who wants to split the same item.
3) Save Money – Divvy it up and split the cost. We have suggestions on how to split each item, but it's up to you to arrange payment with someone else and the actual splitting of the item.
We normally charge 10% of the amount of money one person would save by splitting an item, but initially we're only charging $1.
What we can split currently with LetsDivvy:
• Season Tickets: Baseball / Football / Opera / Basketball
• Warehouse Memberships: CostCo / BJ's Wholesale / Sam's Club
• Memberships: Museums / Aquariums
• Athletic Memberships: Gym Passes / Season's pass to Ski Resort
Culture of the company / personality we're trying to get across:
We want to get across three core tenets of our culture:
• Trust (you are interacting with others in a trusted market place where you know you aren't going to get screwed, and it's safe for you to engage in economic trades such as splitting a membership, season tickets, a gym pass, etc).
• Fun (splitting with letsdivvy is fun and enjoyable experience)
• Simplicity (it's easy/simple to use our product and to split things)
Our potential clients are people who want to save money by splitting things. These are cost conscious people, some are frugal, and others are just cheap (basically even more frugal). Our users are both men women, and predominantly United States and Canadian citizens. Our users come from all ethnicities.. Although we don't have as much hard data about our users' ages, we assume that they would be aged 18+.
We plan on being the eBay for splitting stuff and being gigantic. Big exposure for you is likely. Follow-on work with you is likely (we will need 4 PSDs/HTML/CSS for 4 wireframes we have ready
• NO: cartoons; animals; stock photos; clipart; cheesy fonts

Here's our promise to you: we'll provide feedback on every design that you offer up at least through star rating. While this isn't a blind listing, we'll respect the first designer to come up with a unique concept and give them preference. We won't let someone else swoop in last day and make one small change to your design and pick them.
We respect your time, and we tried to write as detailed a brief as possible, so please do read the attached brief. It has a selection of logos we like and why, as well as logos we don't like and why. It's 7 pages, but its mostly just logos we like / don't like and why. We want to save you time and frustration.
We are not starting out guaranteeing the payment but as soon as we see at least 2-3 concepts we like, we'll guarantee it. We will answer questions ASAP

I heard there coming out with the 'Wii HD' but are they just going to keep on using motion-controls? Cause i am already sick of them.
They're were no such thing announced it just some motion controller to connect the wii for wii sports resort some stress vitality thing and a few games here and there. Let's face it Nintendo did bad at the E3, but not as worse as Sony and the addition controller to the ps3.
Finished watching the EMA\'s \'11 Congrat Big Bang!
Nintendo didn't do so good at the American E3 this year imo. I think they could have done better
Nintendo did a decent job his year at E3. a new metroid a new mario and a new zelda.
and the vitality sensor thingy its really weird but i think its gonna sell just like the wii balance board. Especially if the vitality thingy can read your mind
Suddenly this is about E3? I see the connections but its still kinda off topic =x. Anyways, I heard the 'Wii HD' was a suspicion of some Market Analyst. I doubt it will come, although I definitely won't bash the idea. They better have motion control though. That's one of the reasons I love Nintendo even more now, bringing me closer to the action, more than every before. My bloods kinda boiling now, I think I'm gonna go do some more Duel mode in Wii sports resort to take off my edge....
The thing with the main platform console market - as i see it - is that Xbox and Sony do basically the same thing are are branching to include nintendo's ideas. the Same goes for Nintendo, now they have a firm foothold into blue ocean territory and fresh demographics of gamers they have that financial security to start to branch towards providing what sony and microsoft provide without major financial risks.
so basically i'd like to see the Wii become a full entertainment system with a specific 'hardcore' gamer control in a similar vain to an updated gamecube controller or something like that.
I'm not sure if nintendo would do it but if, with everything it has over the 360 and PS3, it was upgraded simply run DVDs it would be better - all you'd have to do is add a 2nd disc drive.
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
If they top the wii i want new controllers cuz i had the remot come off of my hand and almost hit my tv it wzas so not cool
My feeling is that Nintendo did the right thing with the wii by reaching out to traditional non-gamers. The next console should do the same thing and go beyond what we consider to be entertainment and the vitality sensor is absolutely a step in the right direction.
I think, for instance, the next controller should be a bio-feedback type of device that people wear continuously so that just living would be a "game". You would be graded on how well you sleep, how often you exercise, and how often you say the word "wii". The console experience should promote community in a way that hasn't been done by PSN and Xbox Live. To this end, I think Nintendo should have the controllers communicate back to the Nintendo Mothership 3 via a protocol dubbed "twiitter".
They wont... My guess... The company will probably dig themselves into their own grave because of their poor marketing, poor audience evaluation techniques, and their ridiculous obsession with wanting to create their "next greatest gimmick".
The critical Rabbit is in...
maybe if they create a console that taps into your brain waves so that you can literally "be in the game"...
but i dont think that'll ever happen.
Never take life too seriously; nobody ever gets out alive anyway~
Uhh you people that think Nintendo's gonna die out are pretty ignorant because they make THE most reliable hardware and thus, have a loyal fan base from the get-go. Secondly, they sell out of Wiis constantly so I don't think money is gonna be any kind of problem for them for the rest of the Wii and the DS's life span and I can almost guarantee that they are gonna be the leaders yet again when they release their next home console, and even when the "3DS" comes out i'm sure that thing is gonna sell like hot cakes. I know i'm gettin one. BUT back on subject here....They can top the Wii by sticking to what they know, and do the best, and that is creating innovative things that they know people will enjoy and beefing up the hardware for God's sake....lol
I wish the wii would add more streaming to their online player. It is sad but you can barely watch youtube on it. What I want to do is go to crunchyroll and funimation and watch the videos. I have a computer but it is really slow and my systems run on a faster wifi connection than this computer does. It makes me limited sometimes. It would be really cool if the wii would partner with crunchyroll and find a way to watch crunchyroll videos on the wii. Also, a high definition wii system would really top the wii. I would love to see mario or zelda in a high defintion format.
I look onto the world with troubled eyes. Is this the future I whispered softly.
well theyre makin black wii's now so its gonna b hard 2 top dat
WARNING:shots hoe lmao(jus added new pics)
i love to play wii
talk to me? Feel Free to add me.

Like most young people, my kids live in extremes. Some day they are extremely awesome and some days they aren't. A lot like me, actually. But every day, we are all one choice away from changing the world.
Last week I introduced them to JoJo Rock, a 9 year old rapper, who wrote a creative arrangement of Amazing Grace to help raise money, so he could sponsor his own child and spread the word that Compassion sponsorship really works. (I completely agree).
I love this kid already.
I pulled my kids over to my laptop and shared this song with them:
My six year old said, "I want to do something like that!"
And she wasn't talking about rapping.
World Changing. It's the new black.
We sat down as a family and I shared four causes I knew of that had an immediate need. My kids chose to buy a sewing machine for someone in a third world country to start their own business and are planning a garage/bake/stuff sale. They are in charge!
Our kids rock, sometimes they just need a little inspiration from other world changers like JoJo and a little encouragement from us.
This weekend everyone brought ten things from their room to donate to the sale. It's a small idea, big impact.
You can make a difference today: Would you help JoJo raise money to help his sponsored child?
All money from the sale of the song in iTunes is going to his sponsor child Charles who lives in Uganda.
I dare you to be inspired and encourage your kids to rock!

Special to the News
The Cooper Spur Race Team made Mt. Hood history last weekend, doing what many believed to be unthinkable: winning the 2003 Buddy Werner Championship.
Twenty-six teams from the Northwest brought 130 girls and 160 boys to compete at Mt. Hood Meadows for the three day event. Teams were greeted by five feet of snow — 18 inches on Friday and 10 inches more on Saturday — making for some extremely daring race conditions.
Whether it was the advantage of being on home territory, skiing in similar conditions two weeks before in the Meadows Challenge, or simply some very focused, deliberate training over the season, we'll never know. But what we do know is significant — never, in 12 years of Buddy Werner history — has a Mt. Hood ski club won the team championship, considered the greatest recognition in Northwest youth ski racing.
"This is as big as it gets at this age level," CSRT head coach Jesse Scroggins said. "It's their Olympics. We're a small team from a small ski area. The other teams who have won this championship are usually large teams from Mt. Bachelor, Crystal Mountain or Steven's Pass. It was a David vs. Goliath situation."
Not only did the Cooper Spur team win first place; another bit of CSRT team history was made when 12-year-old Maggie Greene took the team's first-ever top placement in Women's Giant Slalom. Meanwhile, many other team members posted personal bests, and the hard work and focus paid off.
"Obviously, we've been preparing all season, training hard for this," explained coach Cynthia Steele. "We knew our team had some good skills, and we wanted them to focus on skiing hard and fast. It can be overwhelming, especially for first time Buddy Werner team members. All these great racers competing from teams all over the Northwest can create anxiety. There's a lot of psyche involved."
As a relatively small club, Cooper Spur Race Team was boosted primarily by the incredible performance by the girls team.
The CSRT Buddy team is composed of the team's best eight boys and eight girls, based on a series of qualifiers throughout the season. The boys raced Giant Slalom on Middle Fork Saturday, while the girls had their turn on Sunday. Greene took first place for the girls with a combined time of 1:28.29 for two runs, followed impressively by team mate Whitney Reynier in fifth place with a time of 1:32.84.
Kaytlin Hughes placed 14th with 1:36.25, and Whitney Fox, with her best run of the season, placed 24th with 1:38.78. Jacqueline Wiles placed 30th (1:40.32), Toby Carratt placed 34th (1:40.94), Hannah Young placed 74th (1:49.81), and Ashley Kastner placed 99th (1:56.71).
"Sunday's weather was a mixed bag of everything: snow, rain, wind," Steele said. "When the race conditions got difficult, our girls really turned it on!"
For the boys, Travis Carratt took fifth place in some stiff boys GS competition, with a combined time of 1:36.06. Eli Pynch placed 20th (1:40.33), Scott Boudreau placed 23rd (1:40.68), Aidan Daly-Jensen placed 35th (1:43.03), Kristoff Fowler placed 38th (1:43.37), Tanner Boudreau placed 58th (1:46.29), and Aaron Mallon placed 65th (1:47.58).
The CSRT boys performed better in Sunday's Slalom, held on Stadium, off Meadows' yellow chair. Travis Carratt placed ninth with a combined time of 1:13.85, while Isaac Bubb finished 12th at 1:14.74. Scott Boudreau placed 17th (1:16.49), Aidan Daly-Jensen in 27th (1:18.82), Tanner Boudreau in 28th (1:18.87), and Kristoff Fowler in 47th (1:22.42).
Maggie Greene took third in the Women's Slalom, with 1:27.18, followed closely again by Whitney Reynier in sixth (1:29.30). Jacqueline Wiles placed 12th (1:32.60), Toby Carratt placed 26th (1:38.29), Kaytlin Hughes placed 54th (1:45.92), Whitney Fox placed 56th (1:46.41), and Hannah Young placed 95th (2:06.04).
"I am very proud of our entire club," Scroggins said. "These kids represented our 'elite', but it took all the club's effort to get us to this level."
The Buddy Werner event is the PNSA annual championship event, named for the man recognized as America's first truly world-class skier. Each year, making the "Buddy Werner team" is an honor in itself for CSRT racers.
Last year, the Buddy Werner Championships were held at Mission Ridge, Wash., with the CSRT girls placing third.

You Will Need:
- White sock
- Polyester stuffing
- Red Yarn
- Scissors
- Felt or foam (for eyes/ buttons)
- Orange pipe cleaner/ felt/ or orange paper (Nose)
- Craft glue
What To Do:
- Put a small amount of stuffing in the sock and tie off to shape the head.
- Add a larger amount of stuffing for the next Snowman section and also tie off. Bottom section will, of course, require the most stuffing.
- After bottom is stuffed, you can just poke the end of the sock into the stuffing, as it will hold in place. You can cut a round, white cardboard base and glue snowman to base if you want a more secure bottom.
- Cut about 6 pieces of yarn, 12 inch lengths and tie around Snowman neck for his scarf.
- Cut pieces of felt or foam for eyes and buttons and glue in place.
- Use whatever you have to make a nose. We took a small section of pipe cleaner and bent in half and glued this in place. A scrap of felt or even a piece of paper, colored orange will work also.

With all the pomp and circumstance, the Leavenworth bowling teams went out in style Monday.
With all the pomp and circumstance, the Leavenworth bowling teams went out in style Monday.
Honoring its seniors during the final home meet of the season, the Pioneer boys racked up 2,528 points to defeat Mill Valley (2,398) and DeSoto (2,347).
The Leavenworth girls' squad came up short of first, finishing with a 1,706 series score while Mill Valley had a 1,738. DeSoto scored a 1,174.
"We were 33 pins shy in the varsity girls' game from winning all four matches, varsity and JV, for the third straight meet," LV coach Shad Langfoss. "They are starting to really hit their stride, the boys especially. Having three shoot better than 600 is very good."
Levi Denney led the Pioneers in scoring with a 662 series, good enough for first overall individually. Nick Warf earned third with a 648 and Jeremy Crowder fourth with a 626.
Rounding out the boys' scores were Austin Wells' 570, Eric Meade's 460 and Rob Trexler's 388.
The Lady Pioneers saw Jessica Johnson posted a 433, good enough for second overall individually. Sabrina Sigmon's 412 gave her third overall and Darienne Watkins took fourth at 409.
The rest were Mallory Scherer (400), Dani Sigmon (366) and Rebecka Clark (354).
Leavenworth will participate in the Sunflower League meet at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Lawrence.

Lelouch x Milly needs more love as a pairing, it has to be said. Actually, Milly just needs more love in general. I mean, come on, she's a blonde-haired, teenaged, licentious and has big boobs. WHY DOES THIS GIRL NOT HAVE MORE FANS?
... oh, right. Because Kallen has bigger boobs and more guys prefer awkward girls than pervy girls for some reason.

Kallen isn't an awkward girl, she's an action girl which lends her a great deal of popularity.
Incest is wrong and even with Lelouch being messed up in the head he wouldn't go that far as banging his own relatives. If that was the case he would have bent Nunnally over ages ago.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Kallen here. I like her, and she certainly has her place in the great Lelouch harem. I'm just having a slight whinge about Milly's lack of popularity in comparison, as I feel she's under-appreciated, even if she is a more minor character.
On a more serious note, I personally don't see incest as a moral taboo. Which isn't to say I'm attracted to any of my own relatives (I'm not, let me assure you), but I think if someone is, there's no good reason to tell them they can't go there, so long as the usual constrains of consent and so forth are applied.
In short, Lelouch x Euphie is a-okay with me. And even, dare I say it, semi-canonical. Certainly, Lelouch's final words to her (in his head, at least) were... ambiguous to say the last. But I'm not the sort to get involved in debates on 'canon', as you may hopefully have gathered, so I certainly won't press this point to those who disagree with it.

Milley is practically drooling over Lelouch and he's like...meh...where's Suzaku?
The story was written by Okouchi, so it is official.
And the Kallen part is a pick-on of her fans.
Very funny.
It also describes Lelouch's "funny feelings" for Shirley, obviously meaning he loves her.
It's also interesting that the story is Lelouch telling CC this very personal dream he had.

That's just fanfiction, I saw nothing of it other than him careing for her because they grew up together and she had a good heart. Euphie geniuelly wanted to make the same world that Lelouch wanted to make for Nunnally and they would have succeeded had his geass not gone out of control. Even Schniezel was willing to let Euphie have a chance at making that world possible and her death it effected everyone that knew her and made everything go down a spiral of sadness and hate.

Milly is the bustiest character in CG. Only Marianne rivals her.
C. C. and Lelouch shared the most secrets because she was the one who gave Lelouch Geass. Kallen he'd spent too much time keeping his identity a secret from in season 1. By the time she and Lelouch became closer, Kallen was captured. (The only reason he didn't go for her sooner was because he didn't want to jeopardize the mission or her life; he apologized afterwards.) They were only able to have a heart to heart right after that, and before the betrayal.
There were just too many things getting in the way for Lelouch in general.

Like I say, I'm not going to get caught up debating what's 'canon' and what isn't. Canonically, all relationships in Code Geass are at best able to be doubted. But I don't see why that matters. If a pairing appeals you to, and you can see a way to make it work, why does it matter if someone else views things differently? Just let your own fantasies remain your own and others' own remain their own.

Haha. On the other hand, things like
From my perspective, it's alright if fanbases at large go on and circlejerk over Kallen x Lelouch or C.C. x Lelouch or Harem x Lelouch or whatever. However, they manage to do so solely on the basis of popularity, lol. As far as the matter of literary merit and the intention of narrative significance Okouchi put into the series is concerned, let me submit that, of all the romantic relationships thrown into the series, Lelouch x Shirley stands above all.

In the end Lelouch x Shirley is the only pairing after Lelouch dies since he is after all in C's world and so is she.
So in that Sol you and the other Shirlulu's can take heart because you won the shipping war hands down.

This meant that the minor characters like Milly never had the chance to become a major character since her family protected Lelouch and Nunnally. You would think that the Ashfords who have had an important role in the story as much as Kallen's father might have? But those potential ideas were scrapped when the show was switched to a Sunday 5PM timeslot from its late night schedule.
Take a good look at Season Two and compare it with Season One and you will find that nothing has actually changed when you compare the micro(Japan) aspect of the story of Season One in contrast to Season Two which was macro(global). Besides the Zero Requiem, the episodes of Code Geass R2 was simply a retelling of events that already happened in the first season but was reworked into a global event as a way of progressing the story.
This is the reason why we never saw a continued development of Milly x Lelouch's relationship with each other from where the first season had left off as it was almost non-existant in the second season due to the changes that was made to Code Geass R2.

That was their intent... Intitially I hated the school antics with Lelouch's fate at the end of eason 1 as a reason why they went back to the school setting. Would have prefered a spent more time out of school, and Lelouch not worrying about the same problems as Season 1, and more on global affairs and battling Britiannia. A pity that we weren't given more info on C.C.'s past(Or her name) and Geass in general but I guess they're saving that for something else. At least Kallen got some good development even though R2 was pretty much R1 only in a somewhat larger scale... Well, not really since they only went to China but you get the point.

Which is a shame... Well, I guess they wanted to keep the origins of C.C. and Geass a secret so they can use her for spin-offs and the such. I wonder how the fanbase would feel if they had C.C. get close to a new Main Character, most tend to forget that she's been around for a while and has had past lovers before with all being dead but Mao by the time of R1.

Hmm.... There is 1 spin off right now the Renya of the dark, and CC is very cold there. It wasn't implied yet if she has romantic feelings of sort for the guy. But it is very clear CC wanted to remove the Code, but fails giving Renya a geass but a curse. And there is a Lelouch looking guy (which fans implied as Lelouch ancestor) that could possibly be Lelouch past incarnation. Remember episode 1. Whether it was task by Marianne or not CC says there "I finally found you" that implies she finally found someone who can receive geass. The last person she gave Geass back then was Marianne (before going to China and meet Mao) but code cannot be transferred to her coz the geass can only activate on her death. While Mao, for CC he was a failure and thus not worthy of receiving the Code thats why she left him. CC has her own mind she doesnt follow orders.
well this is CC's script while giving Lelouch Geass...
and Have you notice this line?
there is high possibility that maybe there is a Lelouch from a different source( family, country), a different time and a different life(background).

Well, to be fair she didn't abandon Mao right away and even said that she willingly acted as his parent, lover, and his everything for a time. Sorta of like how she ended up filling a similiar role for Lelouch in a matter of speaking. Though I don't think her interpetation of ove is the same that others see it since she has had many lovers over her long life and has seen them all eventually die. It must be a sad existence for her since even after finding Lelouch she's still cursed and still saw another "child, lover, the object that she served as their everything" die in the end.
I don't think that is supposed t mean anything. She's just reinforceing that by accepting her contract he was going to be human but "Not" human. His life was going to be changed drastically by agreeing to her terms and accepting Geass which only leads down the road of sadness for him and those close to him. Though at least Lelouch was able to show C.C. that Geass, even if it would end in sadness, could still be used for something bigger than just himself even if he isn't around to see the fruits of his labors.

As a student taking lessons with me, I will always put your desires as a musician first, and consider them to be the most important factor in guiding the progress of your lessons. While I will make basic assignments for you to practice for your next lesson, I am always open to including music that you would like to learn. If there is a particular style of music that you would like to study, or even a particular piece of music that you want to learn, please feel free to mention that to me, and I will do my best to find that music to add to your lessons. If at any time you have questions, requests, or comments, please either mention them to me at the lessons, or contact me by phone, text, or email.
I look forward to meeting you, talking with you about your desires and aspirations as a musician, and to guiding you and helping you to reach your goals.
*** Lesson Details ***
I will work with you to find the most convenient time for your lessons. Lessons are given in my home studio. While there will be basic material you will need to learn proficiently, you will be free to select the style of music you wish to study. I always tailor the lessons to suit the student's desires and aspirations as a musician.
*** Studio Equipment ***
office/studio space for lessons; spinet piano; electronic equipment available to play cassettes, CDs, videos, and DVDs either from my own library or yours to assist and/or augment the lessons
*** Travel Equipment ***
My piano students are expected to own either a 3-4 octave keyboard, or an acoustic piano. I can give you guidance regarding specific details you need to look for when you purchase an acoustic piano or a keyboard. I do not recommend specific manufacturer names. You will also be required to purchase any necessary materials (books, flashcards, etc.). I provide supplemental materials (teaching games, etc.).
*** Specialties ***
I use a variety of methods, mostly based on the goals of the students. For piano students, I prefer the Bastien Piano Basics method books. For voice students, I use a combination of methods developed by several different voice instructors.

So, with all that said, here's what I try to instill:
A lesson is a place to share! I listen to students as well as teach. We all have something we can learn from each other!
While I want lessons to be fun and informative, I strive for complete understanding, which means any student will gain the needed mechanics with complete knowledge of why things happen and what they do to and for music. From there, I attempt to teach the "soul" of mu
I don't believe in brow-beating, but I also don't want to pass over things. I don't believe practice makes perfect, but I do believe practice increases awareness!
I really try hard to help students move beyond the notes on the page. We may listen to music and describe how it makes us feel, or paint pictures both physical and mental of what the music is showing us. That is where I see the soul stepping in.
My Education
As stated before, I started on a little Magnus Organ. My grandmother told me years later that I would listen to television jingles and then try to play them on the organ!
Once we settled in our permanent home, my parents brought home a piano and I began working first with Robert Warnick, a local music teacher in the schools. He taught scales and chords. Then, Midge Bishop took me through John Thompson Grade 3, but then had to move away. Finally, I studied under Victoria Hope, lasting 13 years until I went on to college. She taught me the fine art of piano by continually challenging me to approach each piece as an artwork. She had me use the music to paint the picture. Naturally, the element of the soul came through as I put color to music.
My Experience
Throughout my elementary through high school days, I immersed myself in band, choir and drama. I played piano at church starting very young. I then began trombone in the band during 4th grade. Upon entering high school, I joined choir and participated in marching band, concert band, pep band and jazz band. During those years, I picked up the rest of the brass instruments as needed by my band director. In choir, I excelled both in voice and on piano through accompaniment. Later in high school, I joined up with the drama department where we ultimately had the opportunity to write our own musical. By the time I entered college, I had mastered all the brass instruments, piano and snare drum.
During college, I participated in the marching band, wind ensemble, jazz band, pep band, trombone choir, several pit orchestras, and the symphony orchestra. I also participated in the choir.
Since that time, I have mastered the woodwinds, organ, drum set guitar and bass guitar and a little violin. I have over 25 years experience teaching lessons. They occurred off and on throughout my younger days.
Subjects Taught
Private lessons on all instruments and voices, Music Theory, Music History, Art History, Architectural History, Acting, set building, lighting and sound.
Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Baritone, Tuba, Voice, alto and tenor saxophone, percussion
Formal Education
1984-89 Bachelor of Science in K-12 Music Education
(Choral, Instrumental and General)
Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana
1991-95 Master of Divinity in Theology and Ministry
Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis, Indiana
Ages Taught
5 through 114 (I haven't seen anyone older, have you?) I believe it is a good idea that a child can read the written word. Reading music occurs in similar ways.
*** Lesson Details ***
I ask lots of questions so I can get to know you better. This is also an opportunity for you ask questions of me. At the beginning, I encourage parents to attend so they can see what these lessons entail. I give you assignments to work with and then you play them for me to receive praise and constructive suggestions. I also try to challenge my students to move beyond the normal curriculum to play other things that interest them.
Depending on the instrument and the experience you have helps me determine what curriculum I want to use. Again, I cater my lessons to the needs you have and by how you like to learn!
After 3 to 6 mos, I hope you have a good working knowledge of how music works and are now moving into intermediate level work. However, each student is different and work a different speeds. My main goal is for you to feel successful whenever you leave my studio!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Baby Grand Piano, electronic Keyboard, Drum Set, Snare Drum

About Jay E.Close
About Jay
I have been teaching privately for 14 years. For eight years, I had a studio of around 50 students in the Dallas area where my students have performed at events such as the state solo and ensemble contest in Austin, and in groups such as the Texas All State Band, and Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra to name a few. I relocated to Indianapolis in 2015, and have enjoyed teaching lessons through Fall Creek Va
My teaching philosophy
Private lessons are a one on one experience that give students guidance on their specific musical needs. Rather than only working on pieces for un upcoming audition or competition, I emphasize working on a variety of repertoire that will improve all aspects of one's musicianship. Lessons are not a weekly practice or coaching session, but rather a time for me to help students with what they have already been practicing. More specifically, I help with embouchure formation, tone production, note reading, practice technique, musical phrasing, breathing, performance anxiety, rhythm, music theory, bad habits, or anything that will help the student make better music in the long term. I also frequently provide musical examples and inspiration by playing for my students.
Lesson Policies
Students are required to practice a minimum of fifteen to forty-five minutes per day (depending on the student's age), six days per week.
Students are responsible for purchasing their own lesson materials, such as books, valve oil, metronome, etc. Piano students must also have a well maintained piano to practice on. High quality electric keyboards with 88 keys, weighted and touch sensitive, are acceptable.
I have a 24-hour lesson rescheduling policy. If a student fails to provide notice via phone, text or email at least 24 hours prior to the starting time of the lesson, or misses a lesson unannounced, they will be charged for the full lesson cost. If adequate notification is given, the lesson will be made up at a later date. Lessons MAY NOT BE MISSED WITHOUT MAKEUP. I do, however, allow students to miss lessons without makeup during the months of November (up to one lesson), December and August (up to two lessons each month) and July (no limit), and one lesson for spring break.
With rare exception, all of my students take weekly lessons. Students who keep a regular, weekly schedule improve at a far better pace than those who miss frequently.

About Alex J.Close
About Alex
Beginning in 2011 Alex began studying attending University of Indianapolis and is currently studying under Paul Berns as well as Art Reiner. In addition to studying with them he has also went back to continue to study with his mentor Chad Kohler. In the time since Alex gr
In the time since he has been out of high school, he has taught at a number of schools including the Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center, North Putnam Jr./Sr. High School, Broad Ripple Magnet School for the Arts & Humanities, and Lawrence Central. He has also taught at Arlington High School and Short Ridge High School.
When it comes to teaching music, what is known to be as the "Holy Trinity" comes to mind. While teaching I personally believe that it is important to challenge students just enough so that they are not discouraged and are still able to have fun.
The Holy Trinity plays a big role in this. What it consists of is embracing your students from all angles. This would be from ensembles and private lessons, which in turn then encourage them to practice. Ensemble, private lessons, and practicing are the three main categories that make up the "Holy Trinity." And in using this, you can also be more involved with your students as well. It is always a good idea be friend your students as well and not just be the "teacher." There is a great quote that goes like this, "They will never care about how much you know, until they know how much you care." In which case has been proven to be very true time and time again.
It is important as a teacher to be able to inspire your students and to encourage them. Which is why I think it is important to be a good friend as well to your students. This way a kind of trust is formed and in turn can easily lead to the success of a music program. Also I do believe that it is important to expose students to as many forms of music as possible. This way they are not just stuck in one kind of mind set and if they choose to go into music for their career, then they have many different experiences they can pull and relate from. Plus they will also have some more knowledge of different cultures and music genres that can help not only create better music but also be more overall worldly in their personal life out side of music. Being able to learn about music is very important, and can easily impact a student's life in many different ways that most subjects just do not have the capability to. This is what I believe about learning music and why I also love to teach it. I want my students to be able to have all the same great experiences I have had and more. Which is why I personally believe so heavily in a good music education.
*** Lesson Details ***
Although the approach to teaching that I use comes across as being pretty laid back, I do expect what some might consider to be a lot out of my students. This is because I want to make sure that my students will be successful as musicians.
While a student is studying with me; they will learn about percussion from multiple angles. They will learn and be able to understand many basic music theory terms and principles. They will also learn how each percussion instrument is tied to one another in technique and how to easily transition from instrument to instrument.
Depending on the age of the student, after about three months of studying with me, the student will know a few major scales, most of the standard American rudiments, and some basic drum set concepts. After 6 months, the student will know all 12 major scales, be familiar with all 40 snare drum rudiments, and know a good portion of basic drum set.
Please keep in mind that results may vary depending on the age of the student and the amount of practicing they do on their own. Results also depend upon whether or not they are practicing correctly, which is something they will also learn how to do with me.
*** Studio Equipment ***
In-studio lessons in basement with acoustic drum set. Street parking or drive way. Seating available for parents.
Lessons at the High School will be in the band room with their equipment.
*** Specialties ***
I mostly specialize in marching percussion as well as 2 and 4 mallet percussion.

Mark Zuckerberg is worth nearly one billion dollars for every year he's been alive.
Not too shabby for a guy who dropped out of Harvard his sophomore year to run a little thing called Facebook.
As Zuckerberg blows out 30 candles on his cake today, here are 30 things he's already accomplished.
|He's Rich
Forbes estimates Zuckerberg's net worth at $26.6 billion.
|Relationship Status
Some people hit 30 and worry about finding a spouse. Zuck took care of that in his 20s.
|And She's Not Just Anyone
Before she was a doctor and he was a billionaire, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg met at Harvard.
|He's A Parent ... Sort Of
The couple is already puppy parents to an adorable Hungarian sheepdog named Beast, who even has a Facebook profile. Could kids be next?
|Home Sweet Home
Privacy has a price tag -- and Zuckerberg can certainly afford it. To create his own mega-compound, Zuckerberg last year bought four homes for $30 million, one of which sold for $14 million, near his own $7 million estate in Palo Alto, Calif.
|New Vocabulary
He brought "unfriend" into the vernacular.
|He Stood Up to Two Big Guys
Most people wouldn't go head to head with the "Winklevii" -- strapping, 6-foot-5 identical twins.
|Redefined CEO Attire
Even as his wealth ballooned, Zuckerberg didn't stray from his wardrobe staples – T-shirts and hoodies.
|Huge Acquisitions
Facebook snatched up Instagram and Oculus Rift, among others, in the past few years. What will Zuckerberg and his team buy next?
|Movie Star
He's already been played by Jesse Eisenberg in "The Social Network," a movie that has taken some creative liberties about the story of the founding of Facebook.
|Saturday Night Live
And he even confronted Eisenberg in an SNL appearance.
|The Simpsons
Zuckerberg even guest starred as himself on an episode of "The Simpsons."
Zuckerberg pledged $100 million to Newark's troubled schools system in 2010.
|'In' With Oprah
And when he did it, he broke the news to fellow billionaire and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey on her show.
|1 Billion Users
Born in a Harvard dorm room, Facebook hit 1 billion users in 2012.
|Connecting the World
Zuckerberg and Facebook have joined a group of other tech titans to help find a way to bring the Internet to the world's two-thirds unwired people.
|Facebook Goes Public
18 That same year, the company also went public. The IPO was lackluster, but Zuckerberg said he found a way to leverage the attention of critics as a positive.
"This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us," he said, according to Forbes. "It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people."
|Reunited -- And It Feels So Good
Facebook has connected long-lost friends and relatives, resulting in some incredibly emotional reunions.
|On the Flip Side...
He's also (indirectly) helped bring people back into our lives who we'd rather avoid, like ex-boyfriends.
|Changed the Way We Take Photos
Selfies have become huge, and a lot of that has to do with Facebook profile photos.
|And Define Relationships
Couples now have to decide whether they want to make their relationship "Facebook official."
|He Got Us to Open Up
...In an electronic way. Everyone has at least that one friend who shares what they ate for lunch or their marathon training plan.
|Friend Envy
And in turn, helped spur a new phenomenon: FOMO, the fear of missing out on something your friends are doing.
|He's Called the President
And Zuckerberg isn't afraid to speak his mind, either.
|And Met World Leaders
In one of his few public Facebook photos, Zuckerberg is seen shaking hands with Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev.
|(Half) Marathon Man
Zuckerberg completed 13.1 miles for charity in 2012, along with some of his Facebook colleagues.
|He's An Uncle
That counts as an accomplishment! Zuckerberg's sister, Randi, gave birth to son Asher in 2011.
|King of the Nerds
Zuckerberg makes being geeky cool and has inspired tons of other innovators to follow in his footsteps.
|Mature Outlook
Zuckerberg's 20s were colorful, but as he approached 30 last month, he revealed a mature new outlook.
"My goal is to build a culture of loving the people we serve," he said.
|He Helps Us Remember Our Friends' Birthdays
Happy 30th Birthday, Mark Zuckerberg!
