Their website is up with some information.
Their website is up with some information.
After looking at the seating chart and the "special" $995 front row seats, I am going for the $850 ones. The 24 million dollar arena makeover and real padded seats should improve this already great event.
Faryn and Hill (I think) are back doing this and they listen to the fans and are easy to work with. I like the event being held there before. I will call them and see if the front row seats are folding chairs again...
I see nothing about a shuttle
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
Here's a link to the order form they sent out:
I thought the shuttle system worked fine. I don't remember ever having to wait long at the arena, and the shuttle was usually at the hotel at the stated times. You always have to allot a bit more time to get somewhere. If you want to get to the arena at noon and it takes 10 minutes to get to the arena, don't depend on the shuttle that leaves at 11:50 to get you there at precisely the exact time. That's just common sense whenever using public transit.
The shuttle in Greensboro was great! There were even buses still out there the night security threatened us with the police if we didn't leave the arena.

****CROSSING THE ICE - new book coming August 7, 2014!****
The shuttle system worked out very well for us, too!
I agree with all of the folks who said that the shuttle in Greensboro was terrific.
Where did it go. I know my hotel was not on a shuttle route. But since it was a LOT cheaper to fly into Raleigh and drive to Greensboro I had a car. I bought the weekly parking pass and that was great. Hope they do that again, but.....
I agree with the group that the shuttle worked great. The transportation team did a great job counting spectators to make sure that every seat was filled on the bus. I decided to go at the last minute. I'm a 5.5 hour drive. I bought last minute tickets from a person that had club seats They club seats included food and drinks! The main hotel was HUGE. There was a mall in the parking lot of the hotel and other restaurants around the hotel. This was an enjoyable and easy nationals.
Q: Will you be offering a shuttle service from area hotels?
A: Plans for spectator shuttle service will be made available soon. Only Official Host Hotels of the 2015 U.S. Figure Skating Championships will have shuttle service.
The offical hotels are the Shearton, Doubletree and Hampton Inn (as of right now, maybe the will add more doesn't seem like a lot to to me, but that Shearton is huge so maybe they won't have to?)
Also the FAQ says mini-or weekend packages will be offerend this Fall.
Last time, I believe the Airport Marriott and Proximity Hotel had their own shuttles you could sign up for when you made your reservations. They may again
I loved the last US Nats in Greensboro and I'm excited to head back there in 2015. We didn't stay at one of the official hotels but walked to and from one of the official shuttle stops every day and had no problems aside from it being cold (we volunteered so we had automatic shuttle passes).

15 Miniature Horse Health Facts

Caring for Miniature Horses is similar to managing big horses--they need good nutrition, housing, farriery, and vet care. However, these tiny equids do require some special considerations, too.

U.S. Congressman Sam Graves was sworn into office on January 3 and soon after, he announced the hiring of Aaron Baker of Atlanta as a field representative.
Baker grew up in Atlanta, graduated from Atlanta High School and says his family has lived in the area since the 1840s. "We are local folks for sure," said Baker.
Baker is a 2004 graduate of the University of Missouri with a degree in Agriculture Economics. After graduating, Baker served as the Chief of Staff to State Senator Bill Stouffer for 8 years. Due to term limits, Stouffer retired and Baker was hired to represent Graves.
Baker compares his job to customer service from the business perspective. "You are the representative of an elected official and want to provide the best customer service as possible," said Baker. "And that's what really excited me about having this type of work—working with the people."
Although Graves has been congressman for awhile, he has never represented the northeast until now.
"We lost a congressman because several other states grew faster than us," said Baker. "Our state didn't lose population in the census, but it is not growing as fast as some of the western states." Since Missouri went from nine congressmen to eight, the districts got larger. Graves' district picked up northeast Missouri which is about 20 percent population wise of his district.
Baker is the primary contact for Adair, Audrain, Clark, Knox, Lewis, Macon, Marion, Monroe, Pike, Ralls, Scotland and Shelby.
"My job is to travel throughout these 12 counties and meet as many people as I can and connect them to the congressman's office," said Baker. "Folks really want to have a direct line to their elected member of congress."

I just got a new HDTV, so now I'm getting more into video including streaming video. My priority is HD and real 5.1 audio, which seems hard to find. Here's what I've found, but I'm new at this:
- Netflix: good amount of HD, limited 5.1 (Dolby Digital Plus, which I think is just a lower quality DD)
- Hulu Plus: Lots of HD, no 5.1 (dumb)
- Amazon instant: HD, some 5.1 (not sure of the format)
Are there video/audio quality differences between these? Are there other good streaming video sources I'm missing here?
In my HT setup, I have a HTPC with a good video card that supports 1080p and the lossless surround formats via HDMI, so I can access these services either through the PC or through the TV's own interface. I like going through the PC because it's easier to scroll through the service's options with a mouse and keyboard than with a remote. One annoyance is that Netflix doesn't offer as much HD content for access by PC's as they do for access by TV's. I don't understand why.
All help is appreciated! Super newb here!

Winterizing Your Horse's Feet
- Dec 20, 2010
Preparing your horse for winter means different things in different geographic areas. For some, winter is time to remove a horse's shoes and give him a break, while for others winter is a prime show season. Either way, remember that winter is not a time to neglect your horse's feet. Cold, mud, snow and ice present challenges – such as mud/ice balls in the feet – to the health of your horse's feet. Even if you're not riding much, remember to check hooves for problems.
Horses adapt remarkably well to extreme climates, and when properly maintained, they can stay healthy and serviceable even in the harshest winter conditions. From proper shoeing to preventing frostbite, this free report provides you the information you need to combat the toughest wintertime hoof care challenges.

8 Tips for Keeping your Business Blog Current, Relevant and Fresh
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: August 25, 2011, 9:40 am
- Updated: June 7, 2012, 4:21 pm
How's your business blog doing? Running out of ideas? Struggling to keep it up-to-date?
You're not alone. In the busy-ness of business, keeping your blog fresh is not always at the top of your mind and not always the easiest chore to check off your list. The problem is, if you really want to make an impact you have to keep your blog updated regularly to keep visitors interested.
Here are a few other reasons to keep your blog fresh:
- Search engines love to provide their customers with relevant, helpful, and up-to-date content and blogs provide this. Blogs are also less formal than static web content and this conversational tone is akin to the way people query search engines and connect with the content they find.
- An up-to-date and informative blog is also an essential tool in your social media arsenal. If you keep your blog current you'll never run out of useful tips, insights and relevant information to share with our Facebook and Twitter fans. It's also a great way to get your audience to engage with your business and each other (via comments), and of course, a great way to drive traffic that you wouldn't normally get to your website.
How to Keep Your Blog Fresh and Relevant
As a business blogger you don't need to post five blogs a week; you just need consistency, relevance and a little inspiration.
Here are eight tips for keeping your small business blog current and fresh!
1. Write Within Your Means – You don't need to write a long blog post (over 500 words) every time. Keep your posts brief if you need to. A great way of doing this is to use "fillers" (posting links to other blogs, event pages, YouTube videos, and so on) and frame them with an intro. Don't do it all the time but it's certainly a way to keep content fresh without spending too much time researching and writing.
2. Listen to and Get Blog Ideas from your Customers –Your customers, and potential customers, are your target audience and a great source for blog topic ideas. Listen to them. What are their challenges? How can your skills and expertise help them with their pain points? You don't need to delve into how your product helps them; do that and you run the risk of sounding like a sales pitch. Instead, focus on your area of expertise and write about what is relevant to your customers.
For example, if you run a law business and get hundreds of questions about "How do I write a will?" or a fashion boutique owner who regularly finds yourself offering your customer's style tips. Use your blog articles to share your expertise and answer the questions you get every day. In this case the law business could write about "5 Things You Need to Know about Writing your First Will" and the boutique owner might wish to share "6 Tips for Pairing Old and New in your Closet".
So lend an ear to your customers wherever they are -- on Facebook, on Twitter, in your store, in their homes, wherever you come into contact with them.
3. Look to What Others are Writing About – Inspiration can come from a variety of sources, and don't feel that you have to reinvent the wheel with your blogs. Take the time to follow and read other blogs that relate to your field. What's going on in the news? Is there a new industry development that's worth writing about? Oftentimes you can spin a different angle on a topic that's already been written about, or even reference that blog and weigh in with your comments (but never copy the article).
4. Showcase People – Why not feature willing customers? What they do, why they use you, real simple stuff. What about your team? Do you have any quirky characters or rock star employees that your customers love – showcase them so that your readers can get to know the people behind the business!
5. Invite Guest Bloggers – Take the burden off yourself every now and again while also opening the door to a new voice. Guest bloggers often cover ground that you can't or provide a useful insight into another aspect of your industry. Guest bloggers might include a business partner, a vendor, or an industry expert. Be sure to give them plenty of advance notice to write the blog, and be prepared to discuss the angle you want their topic to take. You also want to subtly ensure that your quality is not impacted. Don't be afraid to edit the guest post, just be sure to share the edits with the blogger as a courtesy – most guest bloggers welcome a second pair of eyes to review and polish up their work.
6. Turn on Comments –Simply put, comments are another way for readers to interact with you and each other. Don't disable them, and be sure to monitor them for SPAM, etc.
7. Develop an Editorial Calendar – This is an absolute must and can really make the process of writing much easier because you do all the planning in advance. Use a simple spreadsheet to schedule your blogs – quarterly plans are good, but a monthly plan can also work. Remember, you don't need to post any more than one or two blogs per week but having an editorial calendar can help you formulate your ideas in advance. Your calendar should identify your topic, describe the angle you are going to take, and assign an author and a due date. Be sure to check for any industry or market updates that might impact the angle your blog takes. Then, when you're ready to write the blog you can hit the ground running.
8. Keep it Focused on Business –The number one golden rule of business blogging: never veer into personal musings on how fast your kids are growing up or what the dog got up to at the park. Yes, you can add your personal wit and humor to the tone of your blog, but do keep it focused on your business interests and not your personal life.

But worse comes to worse, my organization is in hutt space so it's not likely to come under direct attack from the empire.

That's the problem with PbP games: Games with people you know aren't likely to die out unless people actually become horribly busy or someone else from the group wants to start DMing his own campaign. However, in medium in which you know all the others only from one forum and meet them only there, people are more likely to desert the games. Or well... At least that is something I have had to notice in myself. I someone has a cure for such a problem, I can run some game.

Solution 1: start the game knowing you'll have to replace players. Better yet, start the game knowing that if all goes well (i.e. game is long and fun) you may have to replace every single PC from your starting party. Plan quests/plots accordingly. Have plot hooks that allow replacement players to join within a few days of someone disappearing. Keep the recruitment thread open, have one or two replacement players ready at all times (drop them a message to say hi each week - you'll make friends AND know if they're still interested). If need be, start recruiting again (better sooner than later).
Solution 2: don't be afraid to be a right bastard. Require good backstory, require complete character sheets, require imagination, require RP experience. You're an experienced GM, you have imagination, you've put a lot of thought and effort into this campaign (hopefully). It's really not worth going through the trouble with people who can't be bothered to read all the rules or write more than a paragraph's worth of backstory. English doesn't have to be a player's first language, but hell, most languages use proper capitalization and punctuation, so legibility is a must. It is harsh to people who don't have all that much time to spare and it is harsh to newbies - you just have to want to run the game more than you want to be nice to absolutely everybody.
Solution 3: combine 1 and 2
Secret wrote:Umm I fell like an idiot for asking but what is PbP?
About the playing online, I just don't see how it could work well, though some of the things chrono said cover most of my worries with it. For one how would rolling work? Would you just trust that the players are honest and not lieing rolls? I think the only way to play online would to do a live IRC or something with the players meeting up at some time every week(or more times a week if the players could) and the GM handling all the rolls.

Connecticut BBB says Ignore her and "Cardholder Services Calls"
Who is Rachel and why does she keep calling? Better Business Bureau says despite the best efforts of the Federal Trade Commission, consumers continue to receive illegal robocalls during which recorded voices identifies themselves as being with "Cardholder Services," the most common of which is "Rachel."
As part of an aggressive campaign to put an end to these calls, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced it had identified and halted five companies based in Arizona and Florida. These companies alone were responsible for millions of illegal calls that violated the Do Not Call Registry laws, and allegedly deceived consumers into paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in upfront fees to "reduce credit card interest rates."
As the term suggests, a robocall is a recorded announcement that reaches land lines and mobile phones by computers that dial telephone numbers in sequence.
Consumers are urged to press "1" to speak to a live representative and "2" to discontinue receiving such calls. Consumers who press "1" are then considered to be receptive to these scams, and added to a hot list that is sold to other telemarketers.
Millions of consumers complain about these calls to the FTC every year. Unfortunately, the caller ID numbers are not the real number from whence the call originates.
Not only is Rachel considered "public enemy number one" by the FTC, the difficulty in stopping these calls is illustrated by the agency's offer of $50,000 cash prize for a technical solution to block illegal robocalls. Other telemarketers push auto warranties, debt consolidation, medical discount cards and grant procurement programs – almost all of which are scams. According to the FTC, these companies are difficult to find and stop.
There is not much that consumers can do block telemarketing calls short of not answering the telephone if they don't recognize the incoming number, however, in the meantime:
Hang up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to be taken off the list.
Consider blocking the number(s).
Report it at donotcall.gov.
Finally, if you have a way of blocking illegal calls, the FTC would like to hear from you at http://robocall.challenge.gov.

Sea urchin, Green – BC (Uni)
Green Sea Urchins, members of the phylum Echinodermata ("spiny skin") are reasonably abundant along the coasts of northwest Canada.
Sea Urchins are prolific breeders and can live over 20 years. They are hand-caught by divers, so bycatch is minimal with no damage to the habitat.
Sea Urchins graze on kelp (a type of seaweed) and are eaten by many animals like Sea Otters, and therefore are an important link in the marine ecosystem.

Congressman Grayson Gets Bipartisan Backing for Proposal to Improve Hurricane Warnings
July 10th, 2013 | WMFE - Central Florida US Congressman Alan Grayson proposed amendments Tuesday to a weather forecasting improvement bill that would create a new hurricane research program. The amendments unanimously passed a House Science, Space and Technology Environment Subcommittee as Tropical Storm Chantal continued to wobble toward Florida, confounding forecasters along the way.
Predictions about Chantal's interaction with the Sunshine State have varied from a brief pass several hundred miles to the east to a direct hit to Central Florida. More recent tracks show Chantal dissolving into a tropical wave before it skirts up Florida's coastline, but forecasters point out it's too soon to be sure.
Congressman Alan Grayson says it's that uncertainty he'd like to see dissolve – that's why he proposed teaming up with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to create a Hurricane Warning Precision Program.
"NOAA will be required to identify a specific program of research that they will propose to conduct in order to make our warnings for hurricanes more precise," says Grayson. "They'll explain what they're going to do, how much it's going to cost, come back to us, and I'm hoping that we'll fund it."
Grayson says more accurate severe weather warnings will reduce injuries, deaths and economic damage from hurricanes and tropical storms.
The Weather Forecasting Improvement Act with Grayson's amendments attached must pass one more committee before heading for a full US House vote.

Five games. That's how long Mike Brown lasted into his second season before the Los Angeles Lakers fired him.
Fair or foul?
The Lakers added Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to the lineup this season, although Nash missed three games because of a finger injury.
But it sure seems like Lakers management gave Brown the finger—and pointed it toward the door.
The move comes a day after Kobe Bryant called himself Brown's "biggest supporter."
"I'm too old to deal with that stuff. I really am," the Los Angeles Times reported Bryant saying. "I'm really too old to be dealing with childish things."
Hmm, maybe as a non-childish leader on the Lakers, and Brown's "biggest supporter," Bryant could have gone to bat for the coach, who is believed to have been fired at the earliest point in the season in Lakers history. Word on the street is that Kobe's not shy about voicing his opinion and trying to get what he wants.
What do you think? Was Brown the real problem in the Lakers' 1-4 start, or is the coach just a scapegoat because players weren't focused enough to make Brown's playbook work?
And does the move indicate that the Lakers—even though they may be your favorite team—aren't the same great team they once were?

I have a pair of sr6500 and i believe it's not sounding too great. The tweeters are giving me like a wierd noise like a paper in a fan, just not that loud, kind of faint. The only sound that really is sounding good out of these speakers are like claps and sounds like drumsticks hitting a piece of wood.
Maybe it's the amp, I don't know, some places say amps are very important other places it says that it really doesn't matter. My amp is a sony gtr2002 which is 200 x2 channels RMS. also when I try to play it loud it starts sounding pretty bad. So ultimately it doesn't get as loud as I want it to. At least sounding clear.
should i get a pair of sr or momos for the rear to make it louder?
if the amp is a problem should i get a Kicker ZX550.2 which is 205 x 2 RMS or ZX450.2 which is 150 x 2 rms both I can get really cheap. or alpine 150.2 or jl 300/2 and what would be the difference amongs them.

Making a quatum leap in listening pleasure
Bigger, better and created with an intelligent design philosophy that's unrivaled. The basis of the philosophy? Premium quality acoustics don't have to cost a fortune. Take the Q Series bookshelf speakers. They're the go-anywhere, do-anything model in the new Q Series line-up. Yet, they compromise nothing in sound quality. They come fully equipped with KEF's Uni-Q array configuration for full treble, midrange, and bass response and tonal balance as well as the Uni-Q's sound-dispersing capabilities.
Uni-Q: every seat in the room is the sweet spot
KEF's latest version of the Uni-Q array uses state-of-the-art technology (and makes it affordable). The vented tweeter design makes clarity a priority and insures a smooth transition to midrange frequencies thanks to KEF's Stiffened Dome technology. Adding the new Tangerine Waveguide to the tweeter protects the dome and improves the efficiency and sound dispersion at the highest frequencies. Matched directivity (mounting the tweeter in the center of the bass driver) improves the uniformity of the tonal balance across the listening area — improving off-axis stereo imaging. For lows and mids, the new aluminum driver cones and large aluminum voice coils deliver fast, clean response at high power levels. The Z-flex surround gets rid of the conventional half-roll and adds one that allows simple deformations at low frequencies, but resists complex deformations in the midrange. The result is clear, unsmeared sound. But, beyond all this techno-speak, the Uni-Q array does one thing and does it well — disperse sound evenly throughout the room. It's like playing duck-duck-goose where everybody's a winner.
Crossover — simply good acoustic performance
If you've ever peeked inside a speaker cabinet, you may be tempted to decry the simplicity of the design. Interestingly enough, the simpler the crossover design, the better the acoustic performance. And we're saying simple, not cheap. The whole point of a crossover network is to filter the input signal to the separate bass, midrange, and treble drivers and to provide overall equalization and good tonal accuracy. For the Q Series, KEF put together lower, second order (i.e. a construction that uses the least amount of components) crossovers with simple electrical filter topologies for free-flowing, unconstrained, and dynamic swings and a big, open stereo image with believable overall geometry. How do they get away with using lower order crossovers? They know that carefully designed drive units and enclosures ensure only minimal filtering is necessary: genuinely good high-performance drivers = the realization of the full potential of low order acoustic crossovers. More simply put, KEF is all quality, and you don't have to be an engineer to hear the difference (thankfully).
Sound engineering — inside and out
What may seem a Herculean task to the non-engineer was undoubtedly down-right fun for the developers at KEF. Beyond the high-performance components, KEF has taken care of every single detail. The cabinets are ultra rigid with 30% more internal volume for the best bass and midrange response. The gold-plated bi-wire terminals provide the clearest signal transmission possible. And the sexy, exotic, and very guilt-free wood veneers that consist of recycled wood fiber instead of unsavorily harvested hardwoods. (Hey, just because KEF provides luxurious sound doesn't mean they have to take more than their share.) KEF knows it's in the details. It's not just an experience. It's a KEF experience. Kind of gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?

Kreistor wrote:Parson splitting a new Side does not solve the problem.
Sizemore must enter Jetstone. If Parson splits Side, with no comms, he cannot ally with Stanley. No Alliance = Sizemore breaking MK Conventions to enter Jetstone. He would be invading a non-allied Side via Portal.
Not going to happen, or he'd have gone with Parson the first time.
Further, Stanley just indicated that he doesn't want to move Capital. You think he's going to trust Parson after starting a new Side (without orders) with his Dirtamancer? Splitting a new Side is the most traitorous thing Parson could do. No comms = traitor = no Alliance = no Sizemore = inferno burns anyway.
Never going to happen!
If comms are restored, and Stanley says, "No Capital move," then he is certainly going to say, "Sizemore won't go to Jetstone if Parson splits the Side." If he doesn't trust Parson enough now for the move, he will certainly not trust him after Side Split, since Parson will (by Stanley's belief) change mentally when he becomes Ruler.
Wait... isn't there a river nearby? Denouement Bridge? Is that accessible? Is it inside the City Hex? Hercules did it to a horse stable that needed cleaning...
I think one of the most important questions is whether the "rules" in question are actually rules of Erf, or conventions that the units of Erf follow. We know that units can follow their own instincts, in absence of orders. Jack, Sylvia, and Wanda all proved that. Parson was able to violate the neutrality of the MK, and we don't really have reason to believe he was special in that regard, beyond not giving a crap. If Parson were to split to his own side, and were to poke his head through the newly reopened portal and shout for Sizemore's help, Sizemore wouldn't be able to check with Stanley for orders, nor would he want to. It would still be in his side's best interests to save the city, to save their remaining forces.
There would be a big difference in Sizemore going through the portal this time, as opposed to going with Parson from the start, and that difference is that this time Sizemore would be invited. We've seen from the prologue comic that forces from unaligned sides can meet in a city without formal alliance. So Sizemore would not be invading, because Parson asked him to come. If Sizemore is just as cutoff from Stanley as Parson is, he will have to follow his own instinct, or Wanda, his chief caster, can still order him through the portal. After Sizemore saves the city, Parson can enter the portal to MK, and Gobwin Knob can recapture Jetstone. Or alternatively, Sizemore simply turns to Parson's side. Parson has been working to show that he isn't simply a killer. He would be actively trying to save lives. If Sizemore could save a multitude of lives by turning, with a little prodding from Janis, I think he would. Plus, I'm remembering that Sizemore is a "rockstar" of the magic kingdom, and is quite wealthy from all his work there. With Sizemore on his side, Parson would have a good foundation for a new side.

It's official, I'm old. Not only do I have to scroll for a ridiculously long time on drop down menus when I have to plug in the year I was born, but I recently found myself telling a student a "back in my day" story when I got a look at her gym grade. This bright student, who is the picture of health, failed to make high honors because she got a D in P.E. It's actually kind of impressive because getting a D in gym is difficult. All you really need to do is show up, have your gym clothes, and appear to put in a minuscule amount of effort, and you are pretty much guaranteed an A.
When I attended Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School in Philadelphia, somewhere between the Jurassic Period and Madonna, girls had to wear gym suits. Not the shorts and T-shirt deals they wear now, these were seriously scary. They were short-sleeved, blue, one-piece numbers with snaps down the front, a belt and, the absolute worst part, elastic around the tops of the thighs to give that chic bloomer look. I believe they were made out of burlap or some other hot, stiff material. Names had to be embroidered (white, cursive) across the bust taking care not to sew the tiny pocket shut. My gym teacher, Miz Whitman, who would have made an excellent prison matron, insisted on the following to round out the ensemble:
- No stripes on gym socks (very chic back then)
- No jewelry
- Hair in ponytails
- Blue or white canvas sneakers (pre-Reebok/scrunchy sock era)
- Paperclip attached to pocket holding white index card
Why the index card? We had to line up for inspection at the beginning of each class. If there was something amiss, such as a name necklace left on, Miz Whitman would get way up into your personal space and growl something like, "Stripes on your gym socks Missy? Three Es..." and then rip the index card off the aforementioned tiny pocket and say, "E, E, E.." as she wrote it in red pen. Es were the same as Fs are now and she gave us three because, well, I'm not sure but it was very effective. It was as terrifying as it sounds.
After we changed into our stunning gym suits, but before inspection, we had to put our pocketbooks into a rusty, metal closet which was then locked. If you didn't get out of the closet in time, you were locked in. Yes, I was locked in there once. Now there would be an investigation and impending lawsuit. Then my mother said, "Well, next time I guess you'll move faster, won't you?"
When inspection was over the real humiliation began. We were treated to the "Rings" speech, "These rings are made of cast iron, they could KILL you, ladies!" at which point she slammed them together for emphasis. When the Realtor showed me the house I live in now, she pointed out the cast iron bath tub as a selling point. I almost didn't buy the house. There was also the "horse" I could never vault over and the rope I could never climb. Since the school was in the quasi-city, we didn't have a track so for the one-mile walk/run we had to jog around the perimeter of the school four times, including a busy street, in our gym suits.
When students complain to me about a gym teacher taking them down a half grade for forgetting their cute gym shorts and T-shirt, I want to call the teacher and ask to make it a full grade. I would also advocate for a "Throw-Back Day." If one was implemented, I am 100 percent certain every P.E. grade I see would be an A+.
