Olympic Origins: The Boys
According to mythology, the 12 ruling gods of Ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus, and the original athletic competitions took place nearby in an area called Olympia. The male gods included: Zeus (aka Jupiter); Poseidon (aka Neptune); Ares (aka Mars); Hades (aka Pluto); Apollo (Like Apolo Ohno, US medalist in short-track speed skating); Hermes (aka Mercury); and Hephaestus (aka Vulcan).

Olympic Origins: The Girls
The Ancient Greeks and Romans revered their goddesses as well as their gods. Five female deities were among the elite on Mount Olympus: Aphrodite (aka Venus, like Venus Williams, the Olympic and Grand Slam tennis champion pictured here.)
Athena (aka Minerva)
Artemis (aka Diana)
Demeter (aka Ceres)
Hera (aka Juno).

Early Olympic Victors: Boys Only
The earliest Olympic Games were the exclusive domain of male competitors, and was male-only viewing, too. (Was it just because the athletes competed nude?) Competitor names included: Aegeus of Argos, long-distance running; Astylos of Croton, sprinting; Diagoras of Rhodes, boxing; Leonidas of Rhodes, running in armor; Milon (or Milo ) of Croton, wrestling; Theagenes of Thassos, boxing.

Great Names from Summer Olympic Games History: The Boys
We could write a baby name book based on the international roster of Olympic greats alone, such as: Paavo Nurmi (track & field, Finland); Jesse Owens (track & field, USA, pictured here); Muhammad Ali (aka Cassius Clay, boxing, USA); and Mark Spitz (swimming, USA)

Great Names from Summer Olympic Games History: The Girls
Women first competed in the summer Olympic Games of 1900 (tennis, golf), with new women's events added nearly every Olympiad. These are some of the greatest names in women's Olympic history: Wilma Rudolph (track & field, USA); Dawn Fraser (swimming, Australia); Olga Korbut (gymnastics, USSR); Flo (Flora Hyman, volleyball, USA; Florence Griffiths-Joyner (aka Flo-Jo), track & field, USA); and Mia Hamm (soccer, USA, pictured here).

Shawn simply wanted to help a friend.
He ended up helping over 30 million.
Set your iPod to your Prince playlist (we know you've got one), because to understand where we got started – you'll have to party like it's 1999. It was during that fateful year, while helping a friend search for internships online, Shawn Boyer noticed something peculiar. There were no websites for part-time or full-time hourly job seekers. Was he missing something? Surely someone was filling this huge need, right? Wrong.
So he did what any friend would do: quit his own career and built an entire company dedicated to helping his friend--and others like him--find a job. He called it Snagajob.com. And millions of job seekers lined up to be Shawn's new BFF.
Fulfilling dreams and taking names
It all started with a job board, and for a while that was enough, but a few years ago we began to realize Snagajob could do more than just show job seekers who was hiring. We started asking hourly workers all over the country if they would like to join a community dedicated to supporting them. Over 25 million of them said yes. They told us about their obstacles. Then we created tools and services to remove those, so they could find the right jobs and start living those dreams.
We did the same thing for employers. We asked. We listened. And they told us just how complex the hiring and management process could be. So we built them a comprehensive talent management system with built-in sourcing to make their dreams of a better, more efficient workplace come true.
Onward and upward
We've grown a lot as a company since Shawn's light bulb moment. We've added more Snaggers, moved cities, moved buildings and celebrated huge milestones. But we're still focused on just one thing -- fulfilling the dreams of hourly workers and those who employ them.
We know there will always be new challenges to be met. We know because we're still listening. And we're still doing whatever it takes to help everyone we know maximize their potential and live more fulfilling lives.
Live the dream! We're looking for new Snaggers devoted to maximizing potential and living fulfilled lives. Let us know if that's you.
Meet our Leaders
Snagajob's leaders have had almost every job under the sun from stock boy, attorney and movie master to VP of Sales, grease vat cleaner, and pipefitter's helper.
Inside Snagajob
Get to know Snaggers, find out what's going on around our office, and stay up-to-date on all things orange.

location to area attractions & water (Lake Winnipesaukee) - even though it was too cold to enjoy the beach.
I was certainly misled by the Priceline.com description of the hotel - which claimed that *all* guest rooms featured a full kitchen, private patio, and pull-out sofa. NOPE! Our room did not feature any of those. Also, no indoor pool as described.I was certainly dissapointed by the lack in full kitchen. That was a key search criteria for us as we were donating time for a fundraiser and had brought along food - which we were unable to store nor cook. The eggs and chicken went bad in the car and we ended up stuck paying for lunches and dinners both days even though we had already planned to eat in-room. Not too happy about that.

It was conveniently located for what we needed.
The walls were very thin, I could hear the conversation from 3 am until 7 am and they weren't yellingI first felt I was putting the owner out when I first arrived, was a little snappy and sighed a lot, so I didn't feel real welcome at first. He was more friendly the next day so maybe it was a bad day at first. We only stayed the one night so didn't get a lot of time there

This hotel is perfect for those who want a clean and convenient place to relax in the lakes region. WE were only there one nite, on our way to take my son to camp, but we had a great king sized bed and sofa bed (i was with my two teenagers). WE also had our new puppy along and the staff could not have been friendlier and more welcoming, after a long car ride they greeted us with treats for the dog and mints by the front counter. Check in was a breeze as well and the grounds had plenty of spots to walk my dog. There was a kitchen area we did not use except for the fridge to keep water cold but I would go stay again since this was the nicest chain hotel i have found in the area. Good value, right off the byway that takes you up to Weirs Beach and Meredith, which is where we had to end up the next morning.

Close to the beach and boardwalk
The room was expensive for the size and the lack of mirrors in other place besides the bathroom. We were 4 girls trying to share one mirror.
Poor 2.0
This was one of the worst lodging establishments it has ever been my misfortune to stay at. The rooms were dirty, the furniture was in disrepair, the 'twice a week maid service' never arrived during the four nights we stayed there. If this were a $* per night room - I would be disappointed - but we paid $* for the first two nights and $* for the last two. \n \nIf you like to stay in filthy rundown motels - this is the place for you, otherwise, GO ANYPALCE else!!!

- Excellent again!SLSWDined on 9/20/2014Excellent food, great ambiance. Servers are very attentive but unobtrusive; they are always happy to accommodate special requests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great timeMattVIPDined on 9/20/2014We had a reservation for 6 and when everyone showed up it turned into 10.....normally places frown on this but the staff was very understanding and quickly made us all feel at home! Excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High decibel levelPoshDined on 9/20/2014Food was great, but noise level was overwhelming. We were a party of five and we were screaming at each other to be heard. Still don't know half of what was said. Perhaps sitting in the bar area would be better for conversation. Don't think we'll be revisiting for that reason alone. You need a "Noise Level" rating for "Drowns you out."Special Features:
- Perfect eveningBeckyDMcVIPDined on 9/15/2014Service was impeccable, food delicious and atmosphere vibrant. Such a great place to go for a well prepared meal. Our chicken parmigiana was perfect and the grilled vegetables were very fresh. Our evening was so enjoyable. I cannot wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VibrantOfftheBeatenPathVIPDined on 9/13/2014This restaurant if vibrant and fun. There was a full house when we went which added to the ambiance. The murals on every wall were interesting to look at and the entire restaurant was full of color. The wait staff were quick and attentive. We did not feel rushed despite the restaurant being very busy which was great. They got our wine order to us prior to giving us the food menus which we liked. We both ordered seafood dishes (whole fish and the bonzini special). Both were good but my husband's bronzini had a lot of bones left in. That, however was our only complaint. The dessert topped off the evening. We would recommend this restaurant to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Service is always attentive and the food is consistently good and priced typically for the area (slightly on the high side). It draws a mixed, but nice crowd primarily from the surrounding (River Oaks) neighborhoods.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Service can make or break a mealfkatzDined on 8/30/2014We arrived & our table was ready for us. We were seated immediately & greeted with smiles. We were a bunch of teenagers with a few adults. The wait staff could not have been nicer They were attentive without being intrusive. They made such a wonderful effort to see that our table was fully taken care of. Our waiter was amazingly patient. We had several items off menu & the snapper was amazing & made how we wanted it. The evening was perfect. My daughter felt special. Everyone had a blast. We love La Griglia for a casual meal,but they made "15" awesome for our daughter. We will continue to come back. Thanks for another great meal, La Grigla I wonder who went home with her bread pudding because she had someone's chocolate cake. It happens.Special Features:

- Walking DistanceSimplicityDined on 8/26/2014My friend lives within walking distance so we like to frequent here. There were four of us that night, the place wasn't overly crowded but it seemed quite loud. Food was good, as always but was hard to converse. Waiter seemed to focus on one of us for all communication, maybe because it was loud. But others didnt appreciate it!Special Features:

- munchieDined on 8/17/2014Food and service was great. It only got awkward after some gentleman told a woman to "shhhh" after she laughed out loud. The restaurant can't do anything about that, but it kinda dampened our dinner.Special Features:
- Great food and lively spacefoodiefoodDined on 8/17/2014The food was great and the service was too. I would say there may be a problem with acoustics because you can't hear yourself think in there and conversation has to be very loud. If you want a loud, energetic experience (if you don't want to talk to your dinner companions this is the place!) where you can people watch, this is your place. They do a brisk business. I suspect it is because the food and service are terrific.Special Features:

- Great as usual!!!MikeyBDined on 8/15/2014The only thing I had a gripe about was our wait. We had reservations for 7:45 and did not get a table until 8:10... After that, the service and food were fantastic. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food and servicefoodieDined on 8/8/2014very enjoyable meal though the place could be quieter (hard to carry on a conversation; the room is "hard")Special Features:
- Very nice last minute experianceHajoveenDined on 8/4/2014We made a last minute reservation via open table with 6 of our airline crew. Service was very good, exceptionally friendly waiters. Great breadbasket with delicious pizza strips. Nice ambiance and very impressive wine list. Prices where very reasonable for the quality offered. I am looking forward to eating here again.Special Features:
- Where's the pasta?WillgoADined on 8/3/2014One of the restaurants listed for HRWs & decided this was a good time to try La Griglia. We weren't interested in the HRW menu and ordered something off of the regular menu. My dish was ok. Nothing to want to order again and definitely not memorable - I can't remember the name - but it was linguine with seafood. Even the next day it was bland! My husband ordered the Puttanesca. The ratio was off! 4to1 sauce (not meat) to pasta. When the waiter came to take our plates we told him about it and he simply said, "Oh ok." And walked off with the plates and came back with the check. My husband is one that was raised to eat everything off his plate, however, he had more sauce left than I had food. I still had to cook when we got home! Ugh!
- Reliable friendly place for SundaysOldtimerDined on 8/3/2014Alway a reliable Sunday evening place. Noise level has always been a problem, if any need for conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectSt8kluversDined on 8/3/2014Perfect weather for dining on the patio. Server Steve was great; knowledgeable, responsive, conversational but not too much. And the food was fantastic. Salmon special for her with a rainbow tomato salad (I don't like tomatoes) and pork tenderloin medallions for me. Dinner was topped off by a great movie, across the street. Perfect night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Service always starts out with a big bang and fizzles out at the end every time, which is too bad. The noise level is deafening and you have to shout to be heard or to speak. A very mixed review of what could be a truly great restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food, long waithoustonresidentVIPDined on 7/22/2014Although we had a reservation, we were forced to wait almost a half hour for a table on a weeknight--after being told by the hostess that we would be seated in a couple of minutes. Food is good, but hardly worth the extra wait. If I want to wait, I'll go to Carabbas, which has better food and doesn't take reservations.

- La Griglia Delivered as Promised!BirthdayBliss5Dined on 7/20/2014All of the reviews were spot on! My party of five was promptly seated. The service was exemplary - courteous and professional, attentive without hovering. We enjoyed excellent wine by the glass or a mixed drink, shared one heavenly Crab and Shrimp Cheesecake appetizer and ravaged the breadbasket with its Margherita-style pizza strips, and breads. Our entrees were Grilled Salmon, Grilled Red Snapper, Frutti di Mare, Rigatoni Peperonata, and Stracci. My salmon was perfectly cooked and sized - every bite held its flavor! We conservative diners all cleaned our plates, and though sufficiently full, we sampled the excellent cookies, and as we were celebrating birthdays, also shared three OMG! desserts. A divine dinner experience!Special Features:

The only problem I encountered was that when I got up to use the ladies room, there really wasn't an easy way to get to it. I was windings way through the tables and realized how difficult it was. Too many tables! Not enough space. No easy pathway to get to the restrooms. I feel sorry for the waiters !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Republican Sen. Michele Reagan says she is willing to compromise to pass legislation that would revamp Arizona laws on legal interactions between lobbyists and lawmakers.
Reagan says she asked elected officials and lobbyists what they could stomach when drafting her ethics bill that would require lobbyists to file monthly expenditure reports detailing any legal gifts made to lawmakers. Violators could face felony charges under the proposed changes.
A Senate committee unanimously moved the bill forward Monday.
Last year, the Senate shot down an ethics overhaul that would have limited free meals, trips and other contributions from lobbyists.
A Fiesta Bowl report released in 2011 disclosed that numerous legislators accepted free trips from the bowl in recent years. Many lawmakers did not list the trips on their financial disclosure reports.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- The Turks and Caicos Islands has won a $9.29 million judgment against a former U.S. billionaire and timber magnate who founded an ultra-exclusive resort in the Montana Rockies, officials announced Wednesday.
The British Caribbean territory's Supreme Court ruled that Tim Blixseth, founder of the Yellowstone Club, helped conceal the true value of his Turks and Caicos retreat called Emerald Cay and underpaid a stamp duty tax on the acquisition deal.
Attorney General Huw Shepheard said the judgment against Blixseth, Emerald Cay Ltd. and Worldwide Commercial Properties Ltd. replaces an interim award of $1.25 million because of stiffer penalties.
"We are delighted to have obtained this judgment, which underlines the commitment the government has to ensuring stamp duty is paid, and to pursue those who do avoid stamp duty," said Shepheard.
Blixseth's Boston lawyer, Michael Flynn, said the defense team was not sure about the possibilities of pursuing an appeal, but he contended that the seller, Gary di Silvestre, was at fault.
Blixseth's team will sue Di Silvestre "for perpetrating this fraud on us and the government," Flynn said in an email. "We intend to collect $28M from (him) and expose his fraud with the government."
Flynn has previously said his client would fight the case to the highest court in Britain, if necessary.
Blixseth bought the 5-acre island in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 2005, when the sparsely populated tourist destination was governed by high-flying politician Michael Misick, who has since been removed as prime minister and is being investigated for alleged misuse of public money and profiting from the sale of government-owned land to developers.
Widespread allegations of corruption against Misick and other officials led British authorities to impose direct rule on the islands in August 2009.
The islands' current government asserted that Blixseth paid $28 million for Emerald Cay while land transfer documents recorded the purchase at just $10 million. They accused him and other defendants of conspiring to avoid payment of taxes of $2.73 million and instead paying $975,000. They pressed for outstanding stamp duty of some $1.75 million as well as a penalty of roughly $7 million.
Blixseth's Emerald Cay property has a nine-bedroom mansion with man-made sandy beach, several docks and a retractable bridge linking it with the island of Providenciales. Blixseth had planned to include the island in his Yellowstone Club World luxury residence group before filing for bankruptcy.
Blixseth was once proclaimed a billionaire in Forbes magazine's list of the 400 richest Americans. He founded the Yellowstone Club, a millionaires-only resort that counted former Vice President Dan Quayle and Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt among its members.
The ski and golf club fell into bankruptcy some three years ago, and CrossHarbor Capital Partners of Boston has since bought the 13,600-acre resort for $115 million. Blixseth was accused of diverting hundreds of millions of dollars for his own use.

5 best thrift store deals
You can save 75% -- or even more -- when you buy these gently used items.
This post comes from Kentin Waits at partner blog Wise Bread.
If you're an avid thrift shopper like me, you know that every secondhand store has its own unique personality. Some stores are great for furniture, others for clothing; some seem to have the market cornered on books, and a few just seem to have older and more unique items than all the rest.
Regardless of the personality of your favorite store, there are five standard items that you should always be on the lookout for in every thrift store. Here's my not-so-scientific list of the top five items that offer the highest savings when compared with retail.
1. Shoes
If you can get over the mental roadblock of buying used shoes, it'll do wonders for your budget. With decent-quality leather shoes ranging anywhere from $65 to $85 retail, scoring a gently used pair for $6 means you're saving at least 90%. Focus on condition and pay special attention to soles and heels; avoid wear patterns that might affect your stride. Give leather some TLC with mink oil or shoe polish.
2. Belts
When did a buckled strip of leather with some holes at one end become worth $32? I'm pretty picky and my wardrobe reflects it, but I haven't paid more than $4 for a belt in years. Sure, sometimes you walk away empty-handed. But if you're willing to look and wait for just the right item, you can find great deals on all kinds of leather accessories like belts, wallets, and purses too.
3. Jeans
When I was a teenager, I saved for three months to buy a new pair of Guess jeans. I still remember the price back then ($40). Even in all their acid-washed glory, that seemed like an outrageous sum. Today, that's a bargain price for an off-brand. Thrift stores are great places to take advantage of the growth spurts and fickle tastes of kids and pick up good-quality jeans for about $7. Deals on adult denim are easy to find too. It just takes a little patience, a few trips to the dressing room, and maybe a quick alteration.
4. Furniture
After you've been thrifting for a few years, strolling through most retail settings is like visiting a foreign land: You can appreciate the beauty, but you don't understand what's being said. Nowhere is this feeling more pronounced than in furniture stores. Spending $219 for a nightstand or $389 for an accent chair? What language are they speaking?
Last month I made a quick stop at a local charity's thrift center and found a club chair and matching ottoman for $80. It was so new it still smelled like the furniture store that had donated it. All it needed was one small repair to the roping detail along the top edge of the ottoman. It took all of 10 minutes to make it look showroom perfect.
Check your local thrift store for lamps, nightstands, coffee tables, and bed frames. They can usually be found in perfect or near-perfect condition. Items in rougher shape can become weekend projects and get a second life with a bit of sanding and varnish or paint. Often the sheer quality of older items makes them worthy candidates for a salvage project. Look for quality markers like solid wood construction and dovetail joints.
5. Books
Even if you have an e-reader, sometimes it's nice to hold a book in your hands. And thrift stores are treasure-troves of good used books. Retail prices for paperbacks range from $12.99 to $14; at most thrift shops, they're 89 cents to $2.99. That's a minimum savings of about 75%. Thrift stores in college towns and larger cities seem to have the quickest turnover in books and the best selection. Grab some coffee and stroll through their stacks.
Successful thrifting is all about being persistent, knowing what you need today and might need tomorrow, and seizing a good a deal when you find it. If you know the right categories to mine, thrift shopping can be a way to save some serious cash by avoiding retail prices on as much as you can whenever you can.
Do you focus on certain categories when you thrift shop? What's the best deal you've ever scored secondhand?
More from Wise Bread and MSN Money:
I get my books... including eBooks at the library
I've found a lot of nice clothing at thrift stores, but the past few years their prices have gone up dramatically.
Great place for costumes. I pick up clothes for party themes, etc. Recently found a velvet bridesmaid dress and peasant blouse to make a costume for the Renaissance fair for under $10.
Recently I found 2 very stylish leather purses in excellent condition for less than $5 each.
If you're looking for fabric, their curtains, bedding and sheets are usually pretty cheap - certainly cheaper than what you'd pay by the yard at a fabric store.
I don't agree that thrift stores are the best place to buy clothes. The clothes are used, and somewhat pricey for what you'll get. Better to shop the clearance racks at big box retailers. I recently scored name brand khakis from a big box for $9.99, thrift store price is usually $7.99 at least, and used to boot. Jeans are not always a good buy either. I bought several pair of brand new brand name jeans at a big box and actually paid less for each pair than at the thrift store. Furniture and most other housewares can be a good buy, but again, sometimes the big box even beats thrift shop there. Pays to shop and remember what each store is asking before you just buy.
Usually the only time I buy clothes from thrift stores is when they still have the new tag on it. I have gotten a few pairs of designer jeans that way. I also buy popular brands of clothing or shoes that I can re-sell on Ebay, and then make a pretty decent profit. Also, used designer handbags. I once bought a Coach for $8.00 and sold it online for $52.00. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it all adds up.

I am very blessed to attend Augusta Christian for 2 years now. Coming from public school I never knew what it was like to have a teacher actually care, and here they do. Teachers will work with you to help foster your education to the best of their abilities. The teachers want you to succeed and will help you become successful. Each is also spiritually wise.You can go to any teacher in the school and they will help you and pray with you. I love Augusta Christian and I am so glad my parents have enrolled me here.
My daughter has been in public schools until her freshman year of high school when we placed her at Augusta Christian. She loves this school and the administration. She is working harder academically than ever before, but she feels encouraged and motivated by her teachers. The administration communicates very well with the parents. The sports programs are encouraged regardless of ability. It is not a stuffy Christian school, but a school that promotes strong Christian based values at the core of their teaching. We have been so blessed by this school! I highly recommend Augusta Christian as a great value and educational experience.
A great school excellent teacher, principal and staff. My daughter loves this school. It is worth every dime I pay to attend this school. I pray that God continue to bless, develop and build this school to the highest level of education.
The school is excellent. They have a more rigorous program than all of the other Columbia County public schools in addition to providing the best program for ensuring that students have a great all around education, spirtually, academically, and with sports. The rigor of their academic program is excellent and my child has just blossomed beyond my wildest dreams. The best decision I have ever made and I am a public educator who wanted a better - Christian education for my child than what the public schools can offer.
My two daughters went to Augusta Christian; my youngest took classes in the Talent Development program. The principal, teachers, and assistants were so supportive of my daughter that her confidence level soared. She still talks of them with fond memories and relates how much they encouraged her. She is now a college student who knows how to study well thanks to the time and energy they put into helping her prepare for the rigors of college. Her Talent Development principal showed wisdom in guiding her toward the best choice of classes for her particular learning style. I appreciated the highly individualized approach that was offered in the classes which have a low student/teacher ratio with an assistant available for one-on-one help whenever needed. This unique program of the Talent Development cannot be found anywhere else in this area and I highly recommend Augusta Christian Schools for anyone with learning disabilities or any other needed remediation needs. What a wonderful program!!!
Our boys have been at this school for the past two years. They have grown spiritually, socially and academically. Our oldest is in the Talent Development program, graduating this year. His teachers have prayed with him daily and have mentored him through daily issues in school with tremendous positive results! I am so impressed by the level of professionalism and spiritual focus each teacher and administrator maintains for each individual student. I recommend this school highly above the others in this area.
The school of Talent Development was a tremendous blessing to my family. My child graduated from this program, which was created for children with MILD learning disabilities, and continued to collage, earning a spot on the deans list. I think that speaks for itself.
I have had 3 children go through Augusta Christian School. Two of my children in Honors Program and one in Talent Development. I feel my children received an excellent education that was both academically challenged and spiritually encouraged to be all God would have them to become! The teachers mentor and pray with my children. The foundation they have received is priceless!!!
I love Augusta Christian. I have had all three of my children attending the school and I have felt blessed every day. We have had the best teachers and access to great academics, arts and sports activities. My kids are involved in many different aspects and I like the fact that all three of my very different children feel at home here. This school is definitely worth a look.
We absolutely love Augusta Christian. We have two sons who have attended since pre-K. Our oldest is entering the 10th grade this year. The word that best describes Augusta Christian is family. 12 years ago when we first visited ACS, both my wife and I got the same feeling about the closeness of the ACS faculty and families attending the school. The teachers genuinely care about the kids' spiritual and academic growth. We are fortunate to be able to afford to send our kids to ACS but we have never felt left out or isolated because we could not donate money to the school. We do not know anyone who feels that way. As far as kids with special needs: ACS has an exceptional program: Talent Development. We encourage you to visit ACS. Our country needs Christian-educated leaders now more than ever!
If I could use one word to describe Augusta Christian Schools it would be 'family.' From the administration to the teachers to the maintenance staff everyone is caring and loving. The teachers truly care about the students and desire the very best for them. The administration listens to concerns and is constantly striving to improve the school. The fine arts teachers are wonderful and the coaches are godly, caring men and women who teach godly principles and life lessons. I think Augusta Christian is the best kept secret in Augusta and I would not think of sending my children anywhere else!
Please consider any other private school in Augusta before applying to this school. Particularly if your child has special needs. This administration will not work with your child or protect them from inappropriate actions from other students, Instead they will be asked to leave permanently. You will be given no notice or warning. The Christian beliefs that led our family to choose this school were not present in dealing with our child. Please be aware to enroll your child in this school is a hugh mistake. Our family is dealing with the aftermath - and it's not pretty!
Beware! Augusta 'Christian' School is not what they (The Administration and Board of Directors) want you to think it is. Postings on July 5, 2007 and July 28, 2007 were absolutely true, and we second their comments. The student body is shrinking every year because the tuition keeps going up, and parents and students alike are not getting the proverbial 'bang for their buck' unless they have lots more bucks to give the school every time they ask for money, money, money! Across the board from Academics and Athletics to Discipline and Grades - every aspect of the school is Financially, 'Who's Who' driven - no one set of rules applies to everyone - you are treated differently according to how much you're worth (and can ultimately give the school) and who you are / who you know. Don't waste your money, it's not worth it!!!
We have been at the school for 10 years. The christian foundation that our children have received from the Godly teachers and staff at this school is the most important part of their education. Without a christian worldview children do not get a true view of their world. I feel it is important to begin kindergarten with a christian education - - With a excellent atletic dept and fine arts department - We wouldn't have our child anywhere else.
We love the school and the staff, I feel at complete ease when my daughter is there, and I know that she is getting a good solid foundation.
Augusta Christian Schools has been like a second home to my family for the past 19 years. All four of my children graduated from Augusta Christian. They not only received a wonderful education but successfully continued their higher education. The teachers and staff were extremely loving and caring and still always ask me about my children. Augusta Christian was the third leg of the stool - family, church and school and they taught our children the things that we taught them at home. Not only did our children receive a great education, but they participated in award winning fine arts, sports, drama and other wonderful activities. I would not trade anything for the years we spent at ACS. It really is true that if 'you train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it.'
The worst private Christian school experience we ever had.
Augusta Christian Schools is such an important part of our family. We have grown so much spritually because of our involvement in ACS. This is our twelfth year at ACS and we have enjoyed every minute of it. My only regret is that we did not start our oldest children here in Kindergarten. ACS partners with the church and family to provide an academically and spiritually challenging learning environment. We are totally committed to ACS now and in the future.
Our family loves ACS! We are starting our 9th year and while it is not a perfect school, it is the best alternative to public school for us. Our daughters are active in sports and receive not only tremendous support from their coaches but their teachers as well. I have seen firsthand many relationships built between my daughters and their peers and the teachers, coaches and staff that has been very satisfying. I love the fact that ACS is a 'small' school, small enough that my daughters do not 'fall through the cracks' as I fear they would if they were in public school. My 10th grader and 7th grader do not want to go anywhere else. It has been a tremendous financial investment, but one our family feels is very worth it!
We were very unsatisfied with the school's administration and staff. They shave the truth. The administration is very politically minded (favors) toward families who make large donations to the school. There is no true financial oversight of fund raising efforts. They misrepresent financial matters and it seems they are accountable to no one. The organization is full of cliques and cronyism. The staff gossips and tattles on one another. Good teachers who don't fit in have their character assassinated by gossip. Beware... if you question anything that's going on, you'll be ostracized. If you turn a blind eye to their shenanigans, they'll welcome you with open arms! They'll even help your kids get 'A's'.

Like its namesake, Lillie Sauvignon
Blanc is unique. located west of the
Langtry House, the five acre vineyard
is unlike most Sauvignon Blanc plantings.
Its restrictive, shallow, magnesium-laced
soils produce small vines, leaves and
berries, and thus, modest yields for a
vigorous variety. The fruit is concentrated
and very complex.
Partially barrel fermented, in neutral barrels, the 2008 Langtry "Lillie Vineyard" Sauvignon Blanc is made in our signature style. The vines from the small 5 acre lot, that is farmed organically, bring forth an expressive wine with abundant: grapefruit, guava, pineapple, coconut, and banana flavors. The dramatic tropical fruit and rich textures are balanced by a bright acidity and smooth finish.
"Scents of fresh-cut grass brighten this sauvignon. It feels big, with green grape skin flavors giving it a profile more characteristic of Marlborough styles. Serve it with pot stickers stuffed with pork and vegetables."

David Petraeus and America's warrior monksBy James Kitfield, National Journal
On Veterans Day weekend, Washington was all atwitter over the resignation of CIA director David Petraeus for an illicit affair. A retired general who in the past decade was thrown into the breach of two failing wars and stared down murderous insurgencies was ultimately felled by the one adversary he could not outsmart -- temptation.Read more
Through Post-Election Fog, a Fiscal Cliff LoomsWith David Wessel and Janet Hook, Wall Street Journal
WSJ reporters look ahead to the immediate challenges for Barack Obama's second term, including the approaching fiscal cliff and the likely way Congress will solve it.
Libyans, diplomats: CIA's Benghazi station a secret – and quickly repairedBy Nancy A. Youssef, McClatchy Newspapers
Just more than a mile from the group of villas that served as the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was another set of U.S.-leased villas – an annex where the CIA had set up shop, and from where would-be rescuers set out on the night of Sept. 11 in response to the attack at the consulate.Read more

Jill Kelley, Friend of David Petraeus, Received Harassing Emails That Launched FBI ProbeBy Martha Raddatz, ABC News
The Florida woman who received harassing emails from Paula Broadwell, spurring an FBI probe that ultimately uncovered the Gen. David Petraeus' extramarital affair with his biographer and led to his resignation as director of the CIA, has been identified as Jill Kelley, a local concerned citizen who volunteers to help the military.Watch the report
Washington Surprised By News Of Petraeus AffairBy Tom Gjelten, NPR
Officials in Washington are still trying to make sense of the sudden resignation last week of CIA Director David Petraeus. More details are emerging about the extramarital affair that brought Petraeus down. It came to light following an FBI investigation, which was not focused originally on the CIA director but soon led to him.Listen to the report
In Debt Talks, Obama Is Ready to Go Beyond BeltwayBy Jackie Calmes, The New York Times
President Obama, emboldened by his decisive re-election and lessons learned over four years in office, is looking to the renewal of budget talks with Republicans this week as a second chance to take command of the nation's policy debates and finally fulfill his promise to end gridlock in Washington, associates say.Read more
On edge of brutal 'fiscal cliff,' some see an opportunity to end debt paralysisBy Lori Montgomery, The Washington Post
Two years ago this month, the leaders of a presidential commission rolled out a startling plan to dig the nation out of debt. After decades of profligacy, they said, Washington must tell people to work longer, pay higher taxes and expect less in retirement.Read more
McManus: Wielding wedge issuesBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
Once upon a time in American politics, there were things called "wedge issues," and they generally terrified Democrats. They were mostly social and cultural issues: abortion, feminism, gay rights, illegal immigration and race. Conservatives wielded them to divide working-class Democrats. Wedge issues helped elect Ronald Reagan to the presidency and dozens of other Republicans to Congress.Read more

Hispanic exit polls suggest seismic shift in FloridaBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
Exit polls showing the powerful Cuban-American community in Florida favored President Obama – which would make him the first Democratic nominee in decades to penetrate that Republican Party stronghold -- suggest a seismic political shift in the nation's largest swing state.Read more
The long-term economic to-do listBy David Wessel, Wall Street Journal
The items marked "urgent" on the president's economic to-do list are overwhelming. The temptation must be to start at the top and work down: Avert the fiscal cliff, fill pending cabinet vacancies, reach out to China's new leaders, cajole Europe into avoiding economic suicide.Read more
To the cliff, and beyondBy Greg Ip, Economist
A DAY after receiving a thumbs-up from voters, Barack Obama got a thumbs-down from the stockmarket, which fell 2%, its biggest fall in a year. Blame the threat of higher taxes on dividends and capital gains and tougher treatment of banks and fossil fuels, but blame also the sad fact that the election failed to resolve the biggest question hanging over the economy: how to deal with the deficit.Read more
Analysis: Obama may now seek to make deeper mark on high courtBy Joan Biskupic, Reuters
President Barack Obama's election victory on Tuesday may give him the opportunity to deepen his liberal imprint on the U.S. Supreme Court.Read more

Back to work, Obama is greeted by looming crisisBy Jackie Calmes and Peter Baker, The New York Times
Newly re-elected, President Obama moved quickly on Wednesday to open negotiations with Congressional Republican leaders over the main unfinished business of his term — a major deficit-reduction deal to avert a looming fiscal crisis — as he began preparing for a second term that will include significant cabinet changes.Read more
After Obama's reelection, overtures from Republicans on debt negotiationsBy Lori Montgomery and Zachary A. Goldfarb, The Washington Post
Less than 24 hours after the election, President Obama and congressional leaders moved with alacrity Wednesday to show flexibility in solving the nation's biggest economic problems and recast Washington's often divisive politics.Read more
GOP asks "why?" and "where do we go from here?"By Charles Babington, Associated Press
Having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, Republicans plunged Wednesday into an intense period of self-examination, blame-setting and testy debate over whether their party needs serious change or just some minor tweaks.Read more
Three small steps to a modest jobs dealBy Jim Tankersley, National Journal
For the last several years in Washington, lawmakers acted like winning the next election was more important than getting the country back to full employment. Tuesday's election should mercifully end that. Growth remains substandard. Both parties own a solid piece of the federal government. It's now in both Democrats' and Republicans' political and policy interests to juice up job growth.Read more
Analysis: U.S. battle over ballots averted, but not foreverBy Joan Biskupic, Reuters
They sued early and often.Read more
Voting-rights advocates, along with the U.S. Department of Justice and some political party officials, tackled potential electoral problems early this election year. Judges blocked stringent voter ID laws, lifted registration restrictions and rejected limits on early voting.

Question for the victor: How far do you push?By Peter Baker, The New York Times
For President Obama, now comes a second chance. An electorate that considers the country to be on the wrong track nonetheless agreed to renew his contract in hopes that the next four years will be better than the last.Read more
How Obama won four more yearsBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
In the end, it wasn't close. Barack Obama won re-election handily over Mitt Romney with 303 electoral votes (so far), well more than the 270 electoral votes needed. Of the nine battleground states that were up for grabs, Obama won seven of them, losing only North Carolina (Florida remains to be called). But while Obama won those states, he didn't crush it; he won instead, a string of precise narrow victories. He didn't win because his leadership during Hurricane Sandy blew all those swing votes his way (though it may have helped). The president won because he ran a permanent campaign, keeping his offices open in the battleground states from his 2008 campaign, tending his coalition assiduously, and because he relentlessly defined his opponent. His was the better campaign. The Democratic candidate of "hope and change" beat the big business Republican in the trenches, in one state after another.Read more
Romney's last, greatest 'turnaround' falls shortBy Sam Youngman, Reuters
Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential nomination as a "turnaround man," whose capacity to reinvent companies, and the 2002 Olympics, could be transferred to the nation and its troubled economy.Read more

Product DescriptionThe Racing Jacket is the reincarnation of the classic Jawbone, with a few added perks. These shades crave chaos, and the ear pieces feature a small hole for removable retainer strap. Just in case you want to customize your color combinations, the Oakley "O" icons are now interchangeable, with the help of a paperclip. Count on the carry-over of Switchlock technology, which uses a quick-release lower jaw that opens for fast, easy lens replacement, then closes to lock the lens securely in place.

Bottom Line:
The G30 lenses really enhance contrast and can be used while riding in the shade. I found that the frames fit my face comfortably, and the glasses provide excellent eye coverage.
On the negative side, I found the glasses fog much more readily than my Juliets, which I think can be attributed to the fact that these glasses are pressed a bit closer to my face.

Weaknesses: Oakley, Sunglass Hut prices - yikes! $230/CAN non FMJ frame
My 1994 Raleigh Matterhorn MTB on sale was the same price.
The "O" on the sides of the black frames aren't in white.
The name "Oakley" is in tiny text across the nose bridge.
Bottom Line:
They cost $230 and my bike cost $2,800. Mine were bought in June 2001 after a 3 week trip to Florida in May 2001 where they were delivered to the store on the day of my departure (Sunglass Hut at St. Armands Circle in Sarasota, Florida. My girlfriend and I went back in 2002, 2003 and laughed as they still were there. We're going back for the first 2 weeks of Oct.2005, maybe they'll still be there!).
Mine are the 2001 year model, black frames with gold iridium lenses, not FMJ & not polarized. The FMJ = Full Metal Jacket, a clear resin the frames are dipped in were another $30 + the polarized lenses are another $30 - dear god! The finish is excellent and fit is comfortable. They never slip out of place, never fog up, also I get alot of compliments on them. The vents are cool, functional and I'm told they make me look like I have bumble bee eyes.
Light weight, funky hingless design and no lens scratches either. On lightl/medium cloudy days I have to remind myself that it's not that dark out nor is it about to rain.
I too have used them to view the walking, jogging and cycling hunnies (as that's how I met my girlfriend). But, as 1x I nearly avoided a head-on collision with another cyclist("top-less" law for females in Toronto)I opted to keep my eyes on the road, hehe!
Bottom Line: Best sunglass purchase ever, You'll break the bank on it's purchase price but... I still get asked what make/model they are and people can't believe there hingless.

Strengths: Look great I suppose, but that's about it.
Weaknesses: Uncomfortable. First pair broke, so not tough either. Worse of all (as I bought them for rain, low-light conditions) they steam up in seconds even when using Oakley anti-moisture solution. In town forget about wearing a mask - you'll be riding blind in these the first time you breath out. Just about okay on the trail, so long as you're not too hot. Start puffing a bit and they'll steam up. For the money, a real diappointment.

Strengths: These sunglasses are sick! They draw on-lookers, and comments from other cyclists. Helps, too, that USPS George Hincapie wears them..... Fot this reason, these sunglasses signify pro status from other cyclists. Do not buy them cause you wanna be a poser and wear what the pros wear, but buy them 'cause you need them! 'Cause you're a kickin' cyclist yourself!
Weaknesses: These sunglasses suck for privacy. Can't stare at the buns of honey's 'cause in sunlight, they show your eyes up to 15 feet. VERY EXPENSIVE. (Better wait 'till you're good and get Oakley wanting to sponsor you.....)
Bottom Line:
The only gripe is that the blue iridium coating does not conceal your eyes from staring like other people. (If i want to be a perv, that's my business.) Other than that, they are above all the rest. They capture awes and attention from other cyclists, and pedestrians. Not many other sunglasses will do that.

Topic - Look bike frame - help for the ignorant
Jimbo W on 17 Dec 2012
Hi Guys,
I need urgent help. Wife has just asked for new chain sets, rear cassette +/- derailers (if necessary) to get for her Look bike. She currently has campag? stuff, and she has 5x on the cassette and 2x on the front. She has just started cycling again, but is finding that she doesn't have the strength / fitness to get up even the hill outside our flat, so she wants some thing with a lot easier gears. I have four problems:
a) I don't have a clue about this stuff
b) I don't have her manual or know the exact model, but the frame looks identical to this:
c) I'm not sure what kind of money I should be spending on it (I'm not rich!!)
d) I don't know whether I'll have to change everything at once, or whether her campag derailers stuff would do for a different chain set
Any help and wisdom greatly appreciated! Thanks.

This week at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, Selena Gomez and her Spring Breakers co-stars Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine performed a karaoke rendition of Britney Spears ' hit "...Baby One More Time" -- and Britney gives their version a big thumbs-up.
In a video capturing the performance, Selena and pals are lured into singing the hit by a SXSW panel moderator, as the film's writer and director Harmony Korine also pressures his stars for a sing-along. Selena kicks off the verse a cappella, singing, "My loneliness is killing me/And I, I must confess I still believe," before trailing off. Eventually, the music and the lyrics get synced and the audience joins in, getting Selena and pals singing again.
All the harmonizing paid off, because Britney tweeted her approval with a link to the video clip and the comment, "Awww @selenagomez can duet with me anytime! PS- I heard @springbreakers is AAA-MAZING! Can't wait to see it!"
Selena is a huge Britney fan; on her last tour, she performed a medley of the singer's hits, including "...Baby One More Time," "I'm A Slave 4 U" and "Hold It Against Me."
Selena and her co-stars also perform "...Baby One More Time" in Spring Breakers , which is about college girls who rob a fast-food place to pay for their spring break, and then get mixed up with drugs and guns. According to E Online , Spring Breakers also features Britney's ballad "Everytime," which soundtracks a wild scene with James Franco , who plays a drug dealer, on piano and Selena and her girls sporting bikinis and ski masks.
Spring Breakers opens in theaters on March 22.

WAUPUN, WI (WTAQ) - A deer hunter from Waupun has set a new state record for a typical buck shot by a bow and arrow.
Dusty Gerrits shot the deer on November 6th in Fond du Lac County.
The rack dried for the required 60 days. And then a scoring panel measured the 12-point rack at 189-and-three-eighths' inches. That broke the old mark by 1.75 inches, set by Brian Inda near Wild Rose in 2010.
The record for a non-typical buck is also held in Fond du Lac County. Wayne Schumacher shot that deer in 2009, with a score of 243.75 inches.
