Follow These Useful Tips For Success In Weight Loss
Choosing to lose weight is a personal decision that takes a lot of work to accomplish. It can mean making sacrifices and changing your lifestyle completely. But anyone who lost weight will tell you that it's worth it. If you've made the choice to lose weight, here are some weight loss tips that can help you.
Weight yourself once a week to check your progress. Try to do your weekly weight check-in on the same day around the same time of day each week. This gives you an accurate picture of your weight loss progress and helps you track how much weight you are losing.
One great tip for weight loss? Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep has been linked to an increase of weight gain; people who gain weight tend to get the least amounts of sleep. Getting a good night's rest allows your body to recharge and reset your fat burning mechanisms, and if you're well rested you're less likely to eat mindlessly.
A great way to lose weight is to exercise when your schedule allows. There is a lot of information out there which states when the best times to exercise are. You might be tempted to follow that information but it's best to exercise when you feel most comfortable, because you want it to become a lifestyle change.
If you are really craving something, don't deny yourself the simple pleasures of food. Take a bite or two, but try to keep yourself in moderation. If you deny yourself snack foods, you will end up mentally hurting yourself and complaining about it to your friends who will resent it. You can try Body Wrap at home yourself too.
When you've made the decision to lose weight, you've got to commit to staying the course. Take these tips and use them as a way to help you stay on the right path. Losing weight may mean changing your way of life, but you'll find that once you see results that your life will be much better.

How do real archaeologists go about reconstructing past societies? What are the tools of their trade, and how do they use them? How do they go about combining data from different sources to paint a picture of the past? This learning community will answer these questions and many others. ANTH 202 (Introduction to Archaeology) covers methodological techniques while introducing you to prehistoric cultures. CLAS 104 (Introduction to Classical Archaeology) investigates the history, traditions, and methods behind classical archaeology, delving into why and how the remains of these cultures continue to captivate western society.
Life, the Universe, and Writing about Everything
BIOL 112: Evolution, Form, and Function of Organisms & ENGL 110: Intro to Academic Writing
CRNs: 20177 & 22334 (lab) & 23817 & 23818

Melissa Hughes & John Warner
4 natural science & 4 English credits
Want to know the secrets to life, the universe, and everything? Study Biology. (Okay, the universe stuff is more physics, but you get the idea.) Want to learn how to take your own observations and turn them into knowledge? Study writing. Want to do both of these at the same time? Try this Learning Community Course that pairs the majors' introductory biology sequence (BIOL 112) with the required academic writing course (ENGL 110). You'll learn to ask questions of the living world and explore your answers in both formal and informal writing assignments while killing two required birds with a single stone. (Metaphorically speaking. Biologists do not approve of killing birds with stones.)

How is it that we manage to live side by side with total strangers? Did you ever wonder why we're not strangling each other all the time? These courses combine the study of the two oldest and most complex of human technologies, politics and cities, to figure out how human beings organize themselves. Ride the buses, chart the neighborhoods, study the streets even as you learn the theories that underpin it all. You'll learn to read in the concrete walls, roads, and buildings the ideas of political thinkers from Plato to Hobbes to Marx and the present day. Three hundred and forty years old, the gem of a pre-modern feudal society, the African portal to North America, a nexus of the Atlantic World, Charleston cherished Enlightenment ideals even as it shackled the nation to slavery. In this class you'll study Charleston's structures, its people, and history, alongside those who have struggled to find answers about justice, equality and freedom.
Visual Culture in a Connected World
CRNs: 23748 & 23759
TR 12:15-1:30pm & FYES 101: T 1:40-2:30pm
Joey van Arnhem
3 elective credits
Our culture is becoming increasingly saturated with visual media every day. The dividing lines between fine art, pop culture, and science are becoming blurred, as are the definitions of local, regional, and global culture. This First Year Experience seminar will explore and decode the visual culture that surrounds us by examining every day "texts" (images, film, television, video, advertisements, art) found in the media and on the Internet. Students will be introduced to key digital fluency skills required to become active participants in their culture rather than just passive consumers. The seminar introduces key theories on visual culture, examining social and economic impacts of technology and exploring ethical issues, such as privacy and censorship. Students will develop an understanding of the ideological contexts within which visual culture is produced and interacted with in daily life. Experimentation and creativity will be highly valued in this seminar.
Biology of Sex and Gender
CRNs: 23749 & 23760
WF 2:00-3:15pm & FYES 101: T 1:40-2:30pm
Allison Welch
3 elective credits
Sex-changing fish, all-female lizards, and bisexual flowers, oh my! It turns out that there's a lot more to sex in the natural world than just "the birds and the bees." What can sexual diversity in other organisms teach us about human sex and gender? In this course, we will explore the diversity of approaches to reproduction and sexuality found throughout biology, from single-celled organisms to complex plants and animals. How and why did sexual reproduction evolve? What does it mean, biologically speaking, to be male or female? Is it possible to have more than two sexes? What determines whether an individual turtle, honeybee or human becomes male or female? Are females really the gentler sex? Appreciating the tremendous biological diversity in sexuality will help us to critically examine biology as a way to understand human sex and gender. To what extent are gender stereotypes based on real biological differences? Is there a biological basis for human sexuality? When it comes to sex and gender in humans, what is natural and does "nature" matter?
Citizenship: Ancient and Modern
CRNs: 23750 & 23764
TR 9:25-10:40am & FYES 101: M 4:00-4:50p
Andrew Alwine
3 humanities credits
What can the Greeks and the Romans teach us about how we should participate in the political life of our community, state, and nation? What issues should we consider in casting our votes? How should we treat our fellow citizens, especially those with whom we strongly disagree? These are just a few of the questions that we will consider as we spend time with some of the most important thinkers in the history of the world: Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, and others. This course will survey how classical history and literature influenced modern political thought and will return to the intellectual roots of Western civilization.
What Does Google Know? (2 Sections)
CRNs: 23753 & 23766
MWF 9:00-9:00am & FYES 101: F 12:00-12:50pm

Students in this course for all majors will examine the disruptive technologies that have shaped the 21st century and explore their context in the global environment of business, government, economy, and infrastructure. Through interactive labs students will gain an understanding of the basic principles underlying today's technologies and survey today's most powerful and useful emerging technologies. Issues covered include the impact of digital technologies on local and global culture and the ethical dilemmas that arise. Through discussions and group projects, students will discover how the seismic shifts in the "flattening world" have positive and negative impacts personally, locally, nationally and internationally.
Improving Decisions for a Lifetime of Well Being
CRNs: 23755 & 23768
TR 8:00-9:15am & FYES 101: M 1:00-1:50pm
Jessica Gibadlo
3 elective credits
This course is an introduction to financial management concepts. Topics include money management, investment fundamentals, budgeting and an introduction to consumer credit. An emphasis will be placed on financial goal setting with a view toward personal values and the effect of financial choices on quality of life. In addition, we will consider these topics while contemplating the impact of cultural, societal and emotional influences on financial behavior.
Monsters and Monstrosity
CRNs: 24497 & 23771
MWF 2:00-2:50pm & FYES 101: R 1:40-2:30pm
Kathy Beres Rogers
3 humanities credits
Did you ever wonder why monsters have pervaded popular culture since the middle ages (and probably earlier)? What does it mean to be monstrous, and why have we clung so tightly to this category? This course will examine the ideas of monsters and of monstrosity by reading texts such as Beowulf, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Christine Sparks's The Elephant Man, Richard Matheson's I am Legend, and sections of Robert Kirkman/ Charlie Adlard's The Walking Dead. We will supplement these readings with a few disability studies articles that consider questions of disability and difference. In the end, is it the monsters or society that is "monstrous?"
Literature and Film of the American West
CRNs: 23757 & 23770
TR 9:25-10:40am & FYES 101: T 3:05-3:55pm
Catherine Holmes
3 elective credits
Everyone knows the props and territory of the classic American Western. These lonely men on horseback, with hats and guns, are part our national DNA. Throw in a cast of characters (cowboys and Indians, farmers and cowhands, good women and rowdy men, sheriffs ad desperadoes), and the pieces of the American epic drama fall into place. This course will examine the Western myth in fiction and film and trace modern retellings and challenges. Specifically, we'll consider how classic Western narratives rewrite the national fantasy of escape and regeneration; and we'll listen for the voices of those who are left out of the fantasy. The New West is an exciting, multi-ethnic contact zone where new myths are being dreamed.
The Scientist in Society
CRNs: 23756 & 23769
MWF 9:00-9:50am & FYES 101: M 2:00-2:50pm
Caroline Hunt
3 elective credits
This seminar asks future science majors how scientists should function in their communities. Topics include death/dying issues, the nature of scientific thought, and the social responsibilities of scientists. We focus on how to find and assess information, how to put ideas into written form, and how to rewrite effectively. Students who have taken an earlier version of this course have found it very useful in preparing for future allied health careers.
Visual Identity
CRNs: 23773 & 23775
M 12:00-2:45pm & FYES 101: W 3:00-3:50pm
Tracey Hunter-Doniger
3 elective credits
Express yourself! Images are powerful tools that can help you depict your identity. This course will research self-identity through art making, video journals, and narrative writing. Students will explore past, present, and future selves through their culture, influences, and aspirations. Weekly video journal entries will lead to the discovery of each stage of identity, accompanied by the creation of an original work of art and narrative. The final project will be an iMovie that uses both the artwork and video journal entries to express the students' visual identity. Non-Art majors are encouraged to register.
Special O.P.S. Therapy Tactics
CRNs: 23778 & 23781
R 3:00-6:00pm & FYES 101: W 2:00-2:50pm

Special O.P.S. Therapy Tactics course is designed to provide students interested in pursuing a degree in occupational & physical therapy as well as teacher education, with the knowledge and skills to design & implement movement experiences to enhance children's physical, social and emotional development. Students will participate in an aquatic and motor clinic putting theory to practice teaching young children in a therapy setting.
Earth Detectives
CRNs: 23782 & 23783
TR 12:15-1:30pm & FYES 101: W 1:00-1:50pm
Erin Beutel
4 natural science credits- counts as GEOL 103 when paired with GEOL 103L
Did you ever wonder how mountains came to be? Where oil comes from? Did you ever consider if we are actually going to run out of oil? Or if global climate change is real? In this course you will use forensic style geology techniques to look at geologic evidence and answer these and many more questions. Topics will vary from volcanoes to water resources and you will have the opportunity to not only use real evidence to answer these questions, but also to direct the path of the course by raising questions of your own. A mixture of lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities, you, as students in Earth Detectives, will be expected to be active and engaged in this exciting class that includes a field trip to a Charleston graveyard! Because lab is an integrated part of this class, you will have the opportunity to explore something in lecture/discussion and then take the time to really examine the evidence and perform experiments in lab. This course counts as a GEOL 103/103L equivalent and if GEOL 105/105L is taken afterwards, the sequence will count for the general education science requirement.
A Window into Russia: The Major People, Events, and Influences of Russia's Cultural History
CRNs: 23785 & 23784
MW 3:20-4:35pm & FYES 101: M 12:00-12:50pm
Oksana Ingle

Do you think you know Russia? Think again. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the world has only begun to glimpse Russia's rich history and extraordinary culture. "A Window into Russia" leads you through 1200 years to the present in a sweeping survey of Russia's major historical turning points and figures, with special insight into the worlds of literature, art, music, and dance. You have never seen Russia—the real Russia—like this, and you will never think of it in the same way. Come travel with us as we explore one of the world's most dynamic and intriguing cultures.
Opportunities and Challenges in Medicine and Allied Health

This course will introduce students to professional opportunities within the medical and allied health fields, expose students to basic terminology, psychomotor skills, and current issues/challenges facing health-care professionals. Students will be exposed to the spirit of volunteerism exhibited by health care providers through service learning alongside these providers and they will participate in on-campus lectures presented by health care providers similar to continuing education required by most health professions. Students will ascertain the professional attitudes and attributes of medical and allied health professionals through one on one observation and interaction.
Living the Good Life
CRNs: 23788 & 23789
TR 9:25-10:40am & FYES 101: T 3:05-3:55p
Rich Bodek
3 humanities credits
"What should I do with my life?" " Is happiness important?" " What makes a life worth living?" All of these questions have been asked, and answered, over the course of western civilization. The answers, though, often have differed radically across time and space. We will read and discuss some answers to the question, "What is the Good Life?" from ancient Greece to the present. Looking at texts as varied as Vergil's Aeneid, Cicero's On The Good Life, Einhard's The Life ofCharlemagne, Gawain and the Green Knight, Henry David Thoreau's Walden, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, we will read about engaged lives and contemplative lives, heroic lives and quiet lives, religious lives, questioning lives, and questing lives. Some weeks you'll be puzzled. Some will find you angered. Some might even confirm your beliefs. All weeks, though, you'll be interested. No worries - it's all good.
Remembering Conflict, Seeking Justice (2 sections)
CRNs: 23790 & 23791
TR 9:25-10:40am & FYES 101: M 11:00-11:50am

This course will examine how societies have rebuilt in the wake of genocide and civil war. Looking at testimonies of survivors, perpetrators, and bystanders, we will look at how genocides came to be remembered. We will also consider the vexed question of achieving justice for the victims. By considering how the world has responded to genocides and crimes against humanity since the Holocaust, we will come to understand how contemporary discussions, such as the responses to the current civil war in Syria, have been shaped by a century of genocide and civil war throughout the world.
Technology and the Modern Enterprise (2 sections)
CRNs: 23772 & 23774
MWF 1:00-1:50pm & FYES 101: T 10:50-11:40am

Is Facebook really worth $15 billion? The intersection where web technology and business meet is both terrifying and exhilarating. But if you are under the age of thirty, realize that this is your space. While the fortunes of any individual or firm rise and fall over time, it's abundantly clear that many of the world's most successful technology firms were created by young people. Students in this business course will learn how emerging management information systems are applied for competitive advantage, and used to enhance other business disciplines such as marketing, accounting, finance, and operations.
Relationships and Mental Health
CRNs: 23779 & 23780
TR 10:50am-12:05pm & FYES 101: M 3:00-3:50pm
Lisa Thompson Ross
3 social science credits
We will explore how our relationships (how we think about each other and how we relate with one another) influence and are influenced by our mental health and how we adjust to transitions. We will pay particular attention to family relationships, romantic love relationships, and friendships. How do these social ties influence anxiety and depression? How do these relationships influence resiliency and happiness? Studying the intersection of social psychology and clinical psychology will help us answer these questions.
The Virtuous Life: Religion and Ethics
CRNs: 23794 & 23795
MW 2:00-3:15pm & FYES 101: W 1:00-1:50pm
Louise Doire
3 humanities credits
What are "Christian values?" What are the ethical obligations of Muslims? What are the stories of Hinduism's "heroes" that exemplify living a noble and virtuous life? This course will explore these and many other questions and issues raised within a comparative study of religious ethics.
Religion, Food, and Food Ethics
CRNs: 23796 & 23797
TR 12:15-1:30pm & FYES 101: W 3:00-3:50pm
Todd LeVasseur
3 elective credits
All Homo sapiens require fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Yet how the food items that supply these nutrients are produced, consumed, traded, and culturally understood vary greatly. This course explores some of the various ritual, symbolic, institutional, legal, and ethical understandings of food that humans have developed. The exploration begins 20,000 years ago and culminates by exploring contemporary sustainable food issues, with the uniting factor of the course being the element of religion. Specific topics the course explores include how food acts as a marker of status, how it encodes boundaries, how it is used to communicate with supernatural agents, how it structures gender, and how it acts as a mirror where humans reflect upon their own concepts of self in regards to the more-than-human world.
Sociology of Peace (2 sections)
CRNs: 23798 & 23799
MWF 12:00-12:50pm & FYES 101: T 1:40-2:30pm

MWF 11:00-11:50am & FYES 101: W 1:00-1:50pm
Reba Parker
3 social sciences credits
Sociology of Peace is a course that sees the world through a sociological lens as students discover the making of a Culture of Peace. This class focuses on questions of "why war," non -violent strategies, sustainability, inter-cultural cooperation, caring economics, and community peace-building with a global focus. This class is very hands on, as students will be taking their "knowledge and skills," directly into the community with projects highlighting conflict resolution and peaceful collaboration.
Economics of Globalization
CRNs: 23803 & 23805
MWF 1:00-1:50pm & FYES 101: M 12:00-12:50pm
Beatriz Maldonado
3 elective credits
Economic globalization touches many aspects of our lives. Ever wonder if the fair trade coffee or fruit that you buy at the store really helps poor farmers? Does China's economic rise mean that jobs will continue to leave the US? Ever wonder how far the materials that we use every day have to travel and through what political hurtles they have to go through? This seminar introduces topics surrounding economic globalization and will examine globalization's effects on domestic economies and policies, labor markets, production, and on the environment.
Crossing Borders: People and Places in the Era of Globalization
CRNs: 23807 & 23809
MWF 11:00-11:50am & FYES 101: T 1:40-2:30pm
Malte Pehl
3 elective credits
What is the nature of geographic, economic, political and cultural borders that divide the world today? What can a look at different types of borders teach us about how people and places are connected by global issues such as conflict, environmental problems, migration and trade? We will consider these issues and take a look at various world regions and how they are affected by and coping with the effects of globalization. In the process, you should find yourselves realizing that life elsewhere poses some challenges which are unique to those places, but also that people in other parts of the world share many of the same anxieties, hopes and aspirations as you do.

Should the Saints and their fans hit the panic button?
12/28/09 in NFL | WhoDat12 | 2252 respect
Why They Should Panic 1) Rush Defense - The Saints have become very average defensively against the run in the last several weeks. Much of that was pointed to the abscence of run-stopping DT Sedrick Ellis. But even since his return, the Saints still have had difficulty stopping the run. To be a contender, you must have a good running game and be able to stop the run. Lately, the Saints have had difficulty doing both, which brings me to...
2) Rushing Offense - At one point during the season, the Saints ranked in the top five in rushing, averaging nearly 150 yards a game on the ground with the three headed monster of Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, and Reggie Bush. The Saints haven't been able to get the ground going in the last few weeks, leading to the offense having a 2008 Season state of mind. Their inability to run the football last season cost them at least three games, due to the fact that they could not close out wins. And when you can't close out wins, they quickly turn into losses.
3) Lack of Depth Defensively - Winning covers up a lot of things, like the fact that the Saints have been decimated by injuries. They've had injuries on offense (leading receiver from 2008 Lance Moore has been out most of the season), but the injuries really really took their toll on the defense, particularly the back seven. This causedthem to bring in Chris McAlister, who was out of football, and bring back Mike McKenzie, who was also out of football. At one point, they were without three-fourths of their starting secondary and without their nickel & dime backs. The schemes of Gregg Williams covered up a lot of that, but schemes can only do so much. Backup CB Randall Gay has been inconsistent this season, and Malcom Jenkins is constantly out of position. He was great on special teams early in the year, and his play in recent weeks indicate he should have stayed there. Injuries in the secondary could be detrimental to the teams playoff run.
4) Play Calling - Payton has been quite creative when it comes to play calling, often thinking outside the box (note Payton starting the game against Tampa Bay off with a reverse).When you're facing a team that is ranked 30th against the rush, there is no logical reason for your quarterback to attempt 35+ passes.
5) Playing for four quarters: They've started fast and finished slow. They've started slow and finished fast. They need to start fast and finish fast. Simple and plain.
Why They Shouldn't Panic
1) Number 9: When he can get the time he needs, Drew Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in football. It's difficult to count a team out as long as this guy can stay upright.
2) Key players are getting healthy: Tracy Porter has returned from injury. Jabari Greer, Jeremy Shockey, and Scott Shanle should be ready for the playoffs.
3) Motivation: Many people are calling the Saints fraudulent contenders. They should be more motivated than ever to answer the bell.
4) Coaching: When Sean Payton is himself, he is one of the best offensive minds in football. Pairing him up with Gregg Williams was an excellent combination. They have the ability to get the most out of their players and put them in position to succeed. The players have to actually execute, but the table is set for them.
5) Fanbase: I know some may not think it counts for much, but the fans have continued to support this team, even when they did things like draft a kicker 11th overall, or trade their entire draft for one player (the Washington Redskins approve), or trade up in the draft to select a defensive tackle who couldn't tackle (so would that make him a "defensive"?). Even though some of the bandwagon fans have jumped off (some of them I pushed off), the true Who Dat Nation members have continued to support this team this year, even though they've laid consecutive eggs. Given all this fanbase has gone through, from natural disasters to front office and coaching disasters, the current Saints don't want to disappoint their fanbase. It may seem silly, but I believe it makes a difference
Conclusion: would hate to see this wonderful start to the regular season translate into playoff failure. I'm not ready to push the panic button, but I am standing near it. Thoughts?

Bora Bora's top three beautiful points of interest
South Pacific cruise, Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Travelers looking to enjoy the clear water, tropical wildernesses and pristine beaches of the South Pacific should consider visiting Bora Bora in French Polynesia. This island offers some of the most beautiful natural landscapes, ocean views and cozy local villages the Pacific has to offer.
Here are some of the beautiful points of interest to see when you visit Bora Bora.
Matira Beach
You won't find a better beach on the entire island than Matira Beach. With pearly white sand, palm trees and a breathtaking lagoon, the site could easily grace a postcard or travel magazine cover. Here, you can kick back and relax while soaking up some sun.
One way to visit Matira Beach is by climbing the picturesque Pahonu Hill, which allows for photo opportunities of the surrounding tropical landscapes, harbor and beaches below. You can even book a 4WD excursion for an off-road adventure through the lush forests and sandy roads surrounding Pahonu Hill and other nearby attractions.
Bloody Mary's Restaurant and Bar
The perfect Bora Bora dining location awaits at Bloody Mary's Restaurant and Bar. One of the island's most popular attractions, Bloody Mary's is a favorite of both tourists and local residents.
The interior is decorated in Bora Bora's signature tropical style, with coconut stumps to sit on while you dine and a sugar sand floor for you to dig your toes into. There's also the endless list of delicious dishes and desserts. Whether want to try the freshest catches of the day, like crab and shrimp, or just want a juicy cheeseburger, Bloody Mary's Restaurant and Bar has what you're looking for.
Lagoon excursions and aquatic adventures
If you're tired of spending all your time in Bora Bora on land, consider signing up for any of the amazing opportunities to explore the surrounding island waters. For instance, you can book a lagoon excursion that will take you to the country's beautiful watery retreats, where you can see the explosively colorful coral reefs and immense numbers of tropical fish. You even have the option of exploring the lagoon via glass-bottom boat or submarine.
And for those looking to inject a little more play into their seafaring excursions, there's always an array of aquatic adventures to be had with Princess Cruises. Between scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming, these water activities are great ways to cool off while floating among Bora Bora's beautiful population of fish. You may also want to seize the opportunity to don an "Aquatic Helmet," which allows you to gain a clear, firsthand look at the underwater scenery.
If you're ready to embark on a South Pacific cruise vacation of a lifetime, click here to book a trip to experience the beauty and thrills of Bora Bora and French Polynesia.

I stopped using yahoo because they had me make my password so damn long with letters and other bullshit that I forgot it and stopped using it.

It's funny how the person who can make you the happiest can also make you the most miserable.
I can't even tell you how sorry I am. I could tell you that a million times, but it won't be enough.
but I don't know how.
Who will love you, who will fight? Who will fall far behind?
that the the one person who I do not want to talk to is dying to talk with me, and the person I miss most and want to talk to is completely ignoring me. I just don't understand people sometimes.
that I haven't been on Tumblr in ages. Oh goodness, this must change.

Outrageously priced vintage wrestling item of the week: The Ultimate Warrior's duster
Who didn't want to dress up as the Ultimate Warrior as a kid? How about as an adult? Eh, no one?
For the little (and big) Warriors still living the dream there's this eBay auction of an autographed Warrior duster. This appears to be from Warrior's stint in WCW (note the tombstone with "NWO" on it). Could this be Warrior's cloak of invisibility that allowed him to magically appear in Hulk Hogan's mirror on the October 5, 1998, edition of Nitro? I can't tell from the video (after the jump).
The duster is on sale (25 percent off!) for the next seven days and can be had for $5,624.99 (regular price $7,499.99).

The idea is a simple one. Start with a top quality, proven piece of clothing and add more visibility to it without compromising style. Who doesn't want that?
The proven performance of the Padrone jacket has been enhanced with the perfect blend of style, performance and visibility. Padrone is part of Capo's top line of clothing called the GS series. In this series Capo is uncompromising when it comes to performance, technology, style and innovation. With that being said, you are probably expecting this jacket to be something special and you won't be disappointed, in fact it may just be the perfect riding jacket. Capo has taken the proven performance of the Padrone Jacket and added two materials to it. The first is Super Black membrane. This is a wind and water resistant technology that has exceptional reflectivity. We could go on and on about crushed crystals bonded to membranes, but the important part is, it is highly reflective. The second new material they have added is the P-10 Membrane. P-10 is an ultra-reflective material that has added breathability. Both of these materials maintain a dark grey color during the day and a very bright reflection to any traffic during the night.
The Padrone HiVis jacket has a performance fit and feel. Since it is part of the uncompromising GS Series Capo has spent a lot of time making sure that the reflective materials would complement the performance and not hold it back. The jacket has a tall collar and a light weight. The breathable P-10 panels work in harmony with the Windstopping Super Black material in order to maintain your temperature without letting you overheat. Capo provided three rear pockets plus an added fourth zippered pocket for your more valuable items.

Dredd: YOU BETRAYED THE LAW!When a work is populated by more than one Large Ham, and at least two get a scene together, it will usually turn into Ham-to-Ham Combat, where they try to out-over dramatic each other. The scene can become either really funny or really corny, or both, and really fast. If it goes too far, it may reach a Hormel Event Horizon. Note that they do not have to be enemies. It can be the Big Bad and The Dragon trying to out-evil-laugh each other, or a pair of heroes spouting Bond One Liners as they mow down the Mooks. The point is that their screen presences and overacting are competing. Compare World of Ham. Bigot vs. Bigot is when these characters are not only hammy, but extremely opinionated as well.

"It is in this recipe that I have come across the unfamiliar word "tomme"referring to cheese. Of course I Googled tomme and got the litany of references.The best I can determine is that it refers toa semi-soft cheese that is round in shape, has an earthy colored rind, and a very nutty flavor. Unfortunately, I cannot find acheese nameto go with that description! The ingredients for the pie are not difficult: chard, spinach, parsley, chervil, fennel, mint as well as eggs, salt, frommage frais, "tomme cheese" and grated cheese. It is to be seasoned with ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon." Anyone recognize it? ***************************************** You can get a 'tomme de chevres' at the fancy cheese shop in the markets here. It's pretty much in keeping with the description here. For some reason I have it in my head that 'tomme' refers to a farmhouse cheese (as in a locally made artisan cheese rather than a specific commercial variety). Angharad

After letting the disappointment of the season settle down a bit, we will now take the opportunity to examine the performance by each player on the roster who played 10 games or more with the Senators. The good, the bad and sometimes ugly of the season gone by, the future and their potential contributions. This year we will go from fewest games played to the most.
Derek Grant spent 20 games with the Senators early on in the season. He was a mid-October call-up and saw action primarily on the 4th line and saw penalty kill duty. After a 4 game stint the previous season, it was another opportunity for him to get into some game action so the organization could see exactly what they had in him.
Grant played less than 10 minutes per game, about 1/4 of that while the Senators were shorthanded. Grant did show some offensive ability in Binghamton (19 goals and 28 points in 63 games) but whether or not that will translate to the NHL given adequate opportunity is yet to be seen.
He was solid in the face-off circle, and was even better on the road than at home in the dot.
- Recorded his first career NHL point, an assist, on November 1st against the Islanders, his first of two points in his stint with Ottawa.
- Led the Senators in road faceoff percentage (54.7%)
- Still looking for his first NHL goal after 25 career games
- Seemed to fall down the depth chart as other players were called up ahead of him later in the season.
Grant will be a restricted free agent on July 1st, requiring a qualifying offer of $660,000. He is eligible to receive a 2 way offer.
Grant will be looked at as a depth player who can continue to develop his skills in the AHL and can fill in a defensive role should the need arise on Ottawa for a short term. Probably still a year or two away from being ready for full time duty, and even when he is his role will be limited.
GRADE: C – Grant was decent, but even in the penalty kill role he was victimized on numerous occasions resulting in goals against. Didn't do much to stand out, hence his return to Bingo and lack of another recall.

Sorry, this is a bit short, but I didn't have much time for writing today. I saw your messages, but I can't answer right now, I'm in a hurry. Hope you're all having a great day :*
The following week just flew by. I had a bunch of stuff to do for college, but I managed to get everything done in time and I had some luck, so I passed all of the exams, and I could enjoy my time off. Niall passed the exams as well, he got a B on that essay and he was told his scholarship would be renewed, and I was pretty happy about it because it meant a lot to him. Instead of leaving on Friday, which was the last working day of the semester, he decided to gome home on Monday, and asked me to come stay with him for those three days. At first, I was surprised to hear that because I thought he'd be ecstatic to finally get to go home after being away from his family for so long. I know I'd be thrilled to see my family after four months. That intrigued me until I remembered that he had some bad memories and that he didn't really like his hometown that much, in fact, he liked the town, he just didn't like the people there. I was supposed to move in with Ginny right after the semester's over, but I accepted Niall's offer instead. When he leaves for Mullingar, I'd have a lot of time on my hands for moving in with her.
Niall was so happy to hear that I wanted to spend time with him, that it made me happy. We started talking every day after we hooked up at the party. We didn't have much time for talking in college, but every night around ten, he'd call me just to see what's up and we'd talk about random stuff. Sometimes, we'd talk for five minutes and sometimes it turned into an hour. He was a cute kid, and it was nice of him to call me just to talk to me, it was nice knowing there was someone out there who actually thought about me and wanted to hear my voice. The thing is, I got used to talking to him and I'd wait for his call around ten, even if he didn't tell me he'd call and that kind of freaked me out. He was about to leave and we'd spend three weeks apart. Holidays are the best season for getting drunk and hook up with random people, there are people everywhere and everyone's happy, so it's really fun to go out. I was just scared that Niall wouldn't want to go out because of me, like he wouldn't want to have fun without me, and he wouldn't want to hook up with someone else because he knew he was coming back on a scholarship again.
When I told Ginny I'd be spending the weekend with him, she was surprised, but then she started teasing me about it, she thought it was funny that I said I didn't care about him at all and then I used every chance I could to be near him. I didn't care, I just really wanted to spend some time with him. -You're so late, I ate so fucking much while I waited.-he opened the door for me with his mouth full of food he apparently made for us.
I was skeptic when he said he'd make dinner for us on Friday, but he insisted. I figured if he fucked it up, we could always order in and if cooking for him, makes him happy, I'd let him have it. I walked past him into his flat and the food actually smelled good. I told him that and he grinned, hugging me from behind.
-What are you doing?-I just froze there with the bags in my hands because I wasn't really expecting a hug of that kind.
He just pressed me against his body and kissed the crook of my neck before resting his head in it.
-Nothing, just put those bags down.
He moved his hands across mine down to my palms and then he just took the bags and let them fall to the floor before taking my palms into his and wrapping his arms, mine following, around me and kissing my cheek.
-You smell really good.-he mumbled.-And I'm so glad you're here.
I just laughed and rested my head on his shoulder. If he was happy with this, then I should let him have it. We stayed like that for a while, just hugging and it felt good, but then he spun me around and kissed me slowly.
-You hungry?-he asked and I nodded.-Dinner's ready.
We sat down to eat and I must admit I was wrong, he was a good cook. He laughed when I told him that, saying he only knows how to cook about three meals. I helped him wash the dishes and when we were done, he suggested we watch the Christmas movie marathon, so we did. It was actually a tradition in my family to watch movies like Home Alone together every year and I loved doing it. We sat on the sofa and Niall brought out a blanket and he wrapped it around both of us. Our legs were tangled and I couldn't move them because Niall's legs were too heavy, but I didn't mind. He kept me warm, and I liked it.
-Are you excited? You're going home in three days, you're gonna see your family and your friends.-I asked during the commercial break, but he didn't show any signs of excitement.
-Not really.-he shrugged and pretended he's paying attention to the TV, when he clearly wasn't. -Why not?-I asked, but then I realized it was none of my business.-Sorry, I'm just curious, you don't have to answer.
-Nah, it's okay, I just, I told you I don't really like the place.-he shook his head.-I have a lot more fun with you guys here than back home.
-But you're gonna see your friends there.-I smiled, trying to get him to see the good side of things. -You're right.-he nodded.-My two best friends are there, and they're both in college in different cities, but they're gonna be there for the holidays.
-Well see? You're gonna see them, that's gonna be fun, you guys are gonna go out together and have fun, you won't even want to come back.-I laughed.
-You know that's not true.-he messed my hair up because he patted it roughly on purpose, like he always did to annoy me.-I wanna come back to see you.
-Keep messing up my hair and that's not gonna happen.-I teased and he laughed.-But no, really, you're gonna have a great time back home, like you're supposed to. You're 19, live a little.
-What do you mean by 'live a little'?-he stopped laughing and asked in a serious tone.
-Do everything you want to do when you're back home. That's what I mean.
I decided that being straightforward is the best thing I could do. I didn't want him to go home and sit on the side while his friends hook up with girls, I wanted him to really live a little. Before we met, he was shy, he didn't make moves on girls, he said it himself, and now was the right time for him to do it. If he thought I'd have a problem with that, he wouldn't do it, I knew that, and then he'd probably regret it in a few years. I know people who were in long relationships back in high-school and first couple of years of college and then when they broke up, they were lost, they didn't know what to do and how to get back in the game and they felt the need to do that because they were with one person for too long. I didn't want that to happen to Niall.
-You know what I want and what I don't.-he said seriously and I just nodded.
-Don't get upset about it, hey, I just said that.-I shrugged.-Like I don't want you not to have fun, okay?
-Are you saying that because of me or because of you?
-What do you mean?
-Do you wanna have fun while I'm away so you're saying that to get me off your back, is that it?-he looked really upset with me.
I didn't know the answer to that, honestly. I thought he was great, I had fun with him, but I didn't really know how to answer that. I couldn't really say that I'd turn someone amazing down if I met him during the holidays, I couldn't. I couldn't say I wouldn't either.
-It's not, I don't know, Niall. We're not together, are we? So where's the problem? I just don't want you to feel like I'd mind, that's all.-I shook my head at him.
-So you wouldn't mind? If I got with someone else, that is.
-I don't know.-I looked down.-Listen, forget it, let's just watch the movie.
-Fine.-he snapped at me.
The next ten minutes, nobody said anything. We were both upset with each other, but we didn't want to fight. I didn't want to talk about it anymore, I knew he was upset about me saying that, but I couldn't change my mind about it. I didn't want him not to do anything with anyone else when I couldn't promise him anything.
-So, we're not even gonna discuss it?-he was the first to speak.
-What's there to discuss? Just do whatever you want, that's what I'm saying. -How the hell can you think that way? -I can, I am a bad person, I don't give a fuck, I just don't want to feel guilty about this once it's over, okay?
-This is not what I expected it to be.
-Oh really, and what did you expect, Niall? You wanted us to be together?
-Yes.-he looked at me as if I was talking nonsense.-What else do you think I wanted?
-Do you really think we could work out and have as real relationship? Come on.
-You see, that's the problem.-he pointed his finger at me.-The way you treat me, it's like I'm a kid. I'm not a kid, okay? You don't have to take care of me and act like I'm an idiot. I'm not, I know what I'm getting myself into. I don't need any kind of special treatment from you, alright?
-So you want me to treat you the way I treat other men?-I cocked an eyebrow up and he nodded.-Well, that's just not possible because if you were anybody else, I wouldn't be here with you, there's no way I'd spend a weekend with any of them.
A smile ran across his face for a second, and he tried to contain it, thinking I didn't notice, but I did.
-That's gotta mean something.-he told me.-You can't tell me it doesn't!
-It does.-I replied.
Shit, I was so upset with myself because I let him caught me in my own web. I tried to work my way out of that talk, but somehow he managed to get me to talk about it and I really didn't want that.
-It does? And where's the problem then?
-I don't know, Niall.-I felt like an idiot for saying that, but I really didn't.
I never know what my problem is and I didn't have a problem with him, but promising him that I won't hook up with anyone else would only get me to want that to happen. I was fine the way I was, I didn't want to complicate things, we were having far and I wanted it to stay that way for at least a while.
He didn't get mad at me for not having an answer for him, instead he pulled me in for a kiss. Niall cupped my cheeks and pressed his lips softly against mine for a couple of second and then he smiled before kissing me again, this time applying more pressure.
-If we don't have a problem, we don't. Stop trying to find something wrong.-he rubbed my cheek with his thumb.-We're doing fine, at least I feel that way.
I nodded and sighed.
-You're right.
-I know I am.-he grinned.-Listen, what happens, happens, we can't plan anything. But I just want you to know that I know my limits when it comes to everything, and I won't do anything that I think would be wrong.
-But that's the thing, you think everything's wrong and you won't have any fun because of me, are you sure about what you're about to do?
-Why would I even want to do that? I have enough fun with you, you're amazing, I don't want to ruin that by hooking up with someone I don't give a fuck about because that wouldn't mean anything to me.-he shrugged.-It's better to do it with you, because it's you.
-Oh fuck you.-I whined.-Now I'll feel bad if I even look at someone else.
-That was kind of my intention.-he laughed and poked my ribs.-No, really, do what you want, I can't tell you to stop, I know you won't listen to me if you really wanted someone.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and focused on the TV again and I felt about it. He was so good towards me, he treated me nice, he was really good looking and all he wanted of me was not to hook up with anyone and I couldn't even promise that. What the hell is wrong with me? And he knew it, he knew that I wouldn't listen if he told me not to. But the worst thing was probably that he thought about me wanting someone else, and he didn't complain about it. He probably felt awful because of it, because he doesn't want anyone else and I felt like shit. I didn't really want anyone else, if I did hook up with someone, it would be solely for the sex, and with him, it's not like that anymore. At first it was hot, no one knew about us, but as I get to know him more, I like him more. He's a great guy, I can't find anything to complain about when it comes to him.
-Nah, I don't think that will happen.-I pecked his cheek and rested my head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head.

Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: "That's the loudest noise I've ever heard. I thought Jesus was comin!" Twins outfielder Denard Span tweeted.
Span was of course referring to Sunday afternoon's Thunderclap From Hell during the top of the fourth inning against the Rangers — it so terrified teammate Josh Willingham that he dropped to all fours. (Watch for him, he's the runner on first.)
Everyone else on the field was content to run screaming for the dugout, and the game was delayed for 45 minutes.
This painting by Jeremi Hanson, Sight Seeing, will be among the work on display in the Nina Bliese Gallery's exhibit Summer in the Cities, opening July 24. That gives John Waters only five days to buy it and run it over to the Walker Art Center before his tenure as a curator there comes to a close.

Saying What We're All Thinking of the Day: Sarah Burge, who is in the Guinness Book of World Records for undergoing the most plastic surgeries, appeared this week on Anderson Cooper's show, where the "Human Barbie" told the host about how she was getting her daughter on the same process and encouraging her to pole dance.
Finally, Cooper had had enough, and he gave her the boot:
I honestly have nothing more to talk to you about… I gotta be honest, I gotta just stop. I'm sorry. I try to be really polite to all my guests, but I just think you're dreadful and I honestly don't want to talk to you anymore.
Cooper later admitted: "I regret having her on in the first place, and I regret that that's how things ended."

There was a fire fight!: Zero #8 Review
- Written by Bryant Thomas on Wednesday, May 21 2014 and posted in Reviews
With the concept of Zero, a series where each issue is pretty much a stand-alone and with a new artist every issue, you would not expect it to keep a level of quality like this. But Kot and [random] co. manages to do so. Every issue remains fresh and new, and issue #8 is absolutely no exception.
This month's artist is Jorge Coelho who I have not had any experience with until this issue and I really hope he gets more work in the future. Coelho has a wonderful dynamic nature to his art where you get to see every piece of action; close-ups here, gunshot here, debris there etc. It makes a very dynamic experience and really maximizes the story Kot has laid out for us.
Considering that this issue is a massive shootout, Kot and Coelho are very generous with their panels and the result is an exhilarating and entertaining comic. Oddly enough, sound effects are kept out of this issue but with the panels and the movement that is achieved in them, I can actually hear the action. It's bizarre. Maybe I'm high. All I know is, this issue made me start playing sound effects in my head and really just upped the experience. There is a page with this progression of a bullet's path (once you read the issue you'll know what I'm talking about) and it is just so brutal and wonderfully creative that I almost stood up and started clapping.
Zero #8 is kind of an odd issue in the context of the series. Up to this point, the connectivity of each issue has been pretty limited. What makes this particular issue special is that it's essentially the second part to issue #7. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; not at all. But it seems to be something atypical of the series and may prove to be foreshadowing the direction of the series. With that said however, every issue does indeed have an ending but doesn't have a cliffhanger that equates to the mainstream "Sword through Chest" final page.
I read comics from all publishers. One of the things that kind of pisses me off is the constantly changing of artists for certain arcs. Inconsistency is typically very jarring and just an annoyance. But what is so fantastic about Zero is that every issue does feel fresh, new and even with a different artist, it still feels familiar. And that's where Zero shines; it always feels fresh while at the same time feels like you're returning to your favorite escapist world.
Espionage type of tales are hard to do. Sometimes writers will try to mix it up and change a single thing but typically it boils down to a rehashed version of James Bond. Kot manages to stay out of those tropes and what we have here is a consistently fresh, thought-provoking, emotional, action-packed series that continues to deliver. If you are not reading this series, start reading it now. You owe yourself that much.

Life isn't always one big party. It's those times when something so simple can make you smile or just laugh for no reason that holds a lasting impression on you. Sometimes when you feel as if a song was written about your life, the struggles you face, feelings that you can't get out yourself, you aren't alone in the world, the list goes on. A drive in your car, blasting your music singing along with the words enjoying what you have and what is to come. In life you should share your love with the people around you, let them know that you care because life is unpredictable, tomorrow could change your life forever. Love unconditionally.

The announcement that the Georgia Bulldogs had agreed to a two-game home and home football series with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish brought a lot of excitement to the Bulldog Nation, and rightfully so.
But now that the initial buzz has begun to wear off, when you look at the reasoning behind putting this series together, it means much more to the folks in South Bend than to Mark Richt and his staff.
Georgia is a member of the SEC, the most powerful football conference in the nation. Year after year, even when the league is having a so-called "down" year, the Bulldogs face a series of in-conference games that could spell a string of losing seasons for most programs.
Mark Richt also has 13 years in Athens under his belt, one of the longest-tenured coaches in all of college football right now, and with many more to come. He's got a direct Batphone line to just about every high school in the state of Georgia, and he can drive less than three hours in nearly any direction and find plenty of people who will open doors for him in other states.
Recruiting has never been a problem for Richt, or Georgia. The state is talent-rich, and the school and conference are a huge draw for top-flight athletes.
But Notre Dame doesn't have that luxury.
The Fighting Irish have been through one of the longest dry spells in school history in terms of real success on the football field. Until Brian Kelly came on board in 2010, the program had been spasmatic, and completely relied on the ghosts of championships past, a weekly national audience on NBC, and a declining brand to lure players to South Bend.
A humiliating defeat in the 2013 BCS National Championship game at the hands of SEC foe Alabama did nothing to bolster their image in the eyes of recruits either.
Notre Dame has no conference affiliation in football. They have no guaranteed bowl bid that would come along with winning a conference (if they belonged to one). They have no split of wads of conference payouts at the end of a season. They are a football island, fighting to regain glory in a world of mega-conferences and cash.
So what's the next best thing to being in the SEC? Making sure you play the SEC.
Notre Dame wants to accomplish two things with this series. They want to dispel the perception that they "don't play anyone" (which in truth, is a ridiculous statement when you look at their slate of regular opponents), and they want to help develop a pipeline to recruits in a talent-rich state like Georgia.
So regardless of whether Georgia wins or loses when they play Notre Dame, the coaching and recruiting staff in South Bend will get some help. That's, of course, if the same staff is even in place. Since Mark Richt began coaching at Georgia in 2001, Notre Dame has seen six different head coaches.
This isn't to say that Georgia won't benefit from having a school like Notre Dame on their schedule, instead of say…oh…College of Charleston? But the benefits for the Irish far outweigh that of the Bulldogs.
Either way, it's going to be fun to watch.

October 2010 - In today's global trading environment, supply chains intertwine seamlessly through countries and regions and trading has essentially become a 24/7 business.Having an inefficient and inadequate transportation, logistics and trade-related infrastructure and services can severely impede a country's ability to compete on a global scale. In particular, developing countries and especially those that are landlocked, face considerable challenges when it comes to tackling trade facilitation issues. Recognizing this, the World Bank's trade facilitation experts have developed a range of toolkits, data tools and publications in 2010 that will help developing countries improve their trade facilitation efforts.

Officials tour rail yard, other sites
By SUE WATSON
A number of local and state officials met with developer William Adair last week to tour the Norfolk Southern Intermodal Yard in Rossville, Tenn. The facility is expected to open in October 2012.
The group, including U.S. Sen. Alan Nunnelee, members of the local delegation, board of supervisors and Mississippi Department of Transportation engineers, visited Adair's properties under development in Mississippi and Tennessee.
The officials discussed Highway 72 four-laning and construction of the interchange at 72 that will connect Adair's new road to the intermodal yard with 72 and Highway 302.
Adair presented a history of the intermodal yard project and his belief that eventually the developments in Marshall and Fayette counties will provide 20,000 new jobs, said Bill Mobley, executive director of the Marshall County Industrial Development Authority.
The projects are important to Marshall County, Mississippi and Tennessee.
"He briefed the congressman, who said he is extremely impressed and would work for the projects' completion," Mobley said. "It was a show-and-tell type meeting to show what is going on and inform the congressional delegation. It's going to be a boom – I-269, Highway 72 and the intermodal yard."
Adair said the road construction, that was on the books to be built in 10 to 12 years, will now be completed in about three years, because of the Norfolk Southern investment.
The Rossville intermodal yard will be the largest of 27 in the Crescent Corridor – a rail system that connects rail, highway, water and air transportation systems east of the Mississippi River from New Orleans to New England and beyond.
Norfolk Southern at first considered locating the intermodal yard between Tennessee Highway 57 and the railroad, but decided to build on the south side of 57 and tie in the truck traffic at Highways 72 and 302 in Marshall County. The tie-in in Marshall County will provide the best routes for trucks – an anticipated 2,000 a day in about 2020 – to existing and new highway systems. Adair has 1,200 acres in Marshall County and 500 acres in Fayette County in industrial parks.
There will be many spin-off projects as a result of the intermodal yard, he said.
Adair provides historical background
Adair was born in Shelby County, Tenn., the son of a sharecropper and dairyman. The family lived in a house without electricity until he was age 12. He attended Collierville schools and graduated from Collierville High as did his six daughters.
At age 19, Adair put in a body shop at 395 Union Avenue, Memphis, Tenn., next door to Hoehn Chevrolet. Later he opened a salvage yard, then a parts warehouse and a car lot.
The next step was to open a chain of body shops in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, Tenn. He then founded Permanent General Insurance, with a partner in Nashville, in 1980. He sold out in 1989, and then opened Direct Insurance in Nashville with his wife and six girls as partners.
In 12 years, Direct Insurance grew with offices in 13 states. The company was doing $1 billion a year in business and had 2,600 employees.
Adair sold Direct four years ago and put his energy behind the current projects in Fayette and Marshall counties.
Two years ago he began working with Norfolk Southern on the intermodal yard development. He sold NS the land and is doing all the dirt work. With about 90 percent of the dirt work completed, Adair thinks the project is on schedule and in good shape.
The intermodal yard is surrounded by a 28-foot berm which will be topped with trees to assure the project has a good sound buffer and greenspace for development that will come later – construction of a complete community in the Piperton area.
"We went the extra mile to make sure this would not affect our residents out here," he said.
The Norfolk Southern project has opened up the area for industrial and residential development. Adair said he already has about 50 companies interested in sites on both sides of the state line – about one-third are industrial companies and one-third will need access to rail.
The development project is the largest Adair has undertaken and he has said it will be his last. He has done development projects in Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and in Canada.
"I decided to come back home and do a major development," he said.
"There's 7.5 miles north to south across this project."
The new community will offer a variety of stepped housing projects from those in the $250,000 or so range, to gated communities with $1 million private homes and gated condo communities. The areas will have 10-foot wide bike and golf cart paths over the entire project. There will be many lake-front lots.
The housing development will provide 4,500 residential homes with one mile of river walks, a town center, a school and some community colleges.
"It will be a place where a family can work, shop, live and go to school in the community," Adair said. "There's nothing quite like it."
A young family can get a start, work at a good-paying job, raise a family, then when they can afford it they can step up into a better home, he said.
Adair's vision is to build a community with charter schools and maybe a community college satellite campus that will provide a quality education to residents, especially those who cannot afford private schools.
"I think we have done a great job in putting something in place to give back to the community," he said. "Our goal is to live here, work here, go to school here, and shop here – the whole thing."
Adair said his vision is for kids to receive an education so they can get good jobs.
"I came out of a poor family," he said. "I went to Collierville High School in the '50s. I owe my success in life to my high school teachers and a few mentors after that. My whole desire is to create a community with great schools."
Adair said he wants to take a portion of what is created by the economic development to put back into the schools in Fayette and Marshall counties – two counties whose schools are about on the same level, he said.
"My goal is to give those kids a quality education and number-one jobs," he said.
He believes crime – stealing and drug crimes – are the result of uneducated children who are unprepared to make a living.
Adair lives in Senatobia where he has a 5,000-acre cattle farm.
