A Public School Teacher's Manifesto
By Chris Janotta October 12, 2010 7:01 pm
By Chris Janotta
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the bonds that are being forced upon them by another group of individuals, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all students are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are a quality education, proper funding for their schools, and the pursuit of their dreams. Whenever any group becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the Public Educators to stand up and voice their opinions, and to stand up and fight for such principles that shall seem most likely to affect their students and their profession in a positive manner.
When a long train of abuses and accusations, reduces professional educators to servants who must perform under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to unite and rise up against such tyranny. Such has been the patient sufferance of professional educators across this nation; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand participation in any type of reform that might occur. Recent history is a history of repeated injuries and accusations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over America's public education system. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The recent manifesto titled "How to Fix Our Schools" did not include the input of one single teacher, parent, or anyone other than those who are already holding the power to make decisions regarding the public education system.
The broadcast media has uniformly excluded teachers from any publicly televised discussions regarding how to "fix" the public education system except as in a token format.
The print media has consistently criticized, blamed, and singled out teachers as the number one cause of all that is wrong with the public education system.
The evaluation systems being proposed do not fairly judge a teacher's performance, yet they are being touted as the savior for our nation's public education system.
The teachers' unions have been unfairly and falsely accused of damaging the public education system by making it impossible to terminate poorly performing teachers. This is a blatant lie.
The Race to the Top initiative has forced school districts in one state to compete against school districts in other states instead of all districts in all states being properly funded. Apparently all men are created equal, but all states are not.
The arguments against many of the proposals made by those who have the power to make decisions regarding the public education system have been swept under the rug, trampled upon, and–in most cases–discredited and ignored. Any research presented by public school teachers is viewed as defensive, self-serving, and union propaganda.
The message has been sent loud and clear: teachers' opinions do not matter when it comes to what is best for America's public education system.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A system, whose aim is thus marked by every act which may define Tyranny, is unfit to be the system that America's school children must rely upon to decide their futures.
We, therefore, the public school teachers of America, solemnly publish and declare that NOW is the time to speak out. NOW is the time to act. NOW is the time to educate America as we educate our students, with passion, honesty, and perseverance. NOW is the time that we must share the truth about public education. NOW is the time that we must let America hear OUR ideas concerning how to fix our schools, fix our society, fix the American Dream that has been broken and stolen by those whose motives are not sincere.
All this we must pledge so that America's children, their Lives, their Fortune, and their and their ancestors' sacred Honor remains secure for the eternity of these United States of America.

Fantastic! I'm sharing this with my Facebook friends. There are a lot of teachers I know who feel the same way you do. They're left out of the conversations, but blamed for everything that's wrong.
Post it on the Huffington Post-let's make sure the public sees real educators responding to these "reforms"
@ Chris — I read this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I want to laugh, because your article is really clever. But I want to cry because, unfortunately, it's true. But you're right that it's our job to keep advocating for our students, no matter how the political winds are blowing. When my classroom door closes every day, there aren't any politicians standing in the room with me. It's just me and 26 kids, and they count on me to do right by them.
Thank you Nicole! If you didn't know whether to laugh or cry then I hit the right note–as teachers I think we often feel like either laughing or crying

this is excellent Chris!! I am sharing this with everyone thank you : )
"The teachers' unions have been unfairly and falsely accused of damaging the public education system by making it impossible to terminate poorly performing teachers. This is a blatant lie."
Do you have good examples proving this to be a lie? I love & respect good teachers, but unions in every profession typically are charged with protecting the employment of the dues payers, which makes terminating the poor employee very difficult. I do know this from experience as a union member. IMO, unions are as bloated, lethargic & self-serving as any bureaucracy or corporation.
Pushy Peasant,
I have personally witnessed two teachers who had been working more than twenty years in the district be let go for failing to meet their job requirements. The district followed the correct procedures, filled out the required paperwork, and terminated the teachers. This was not as difficult of a process as people make it out to be and definitely far from impossible. Therefore, to state that terminating poorly performing teachers is impossible most certainly is a lie. Even you stated it is "very difficult" to terminate a teacher; very difficult is not impossible.
As union members, it is our duty to become active and remain active in our unions. If you feel your union is "self-serving & lethargic," then become involved by running for a position, writing, emailing, or calling your union officials,and encouraging others who share your opinion to do the same. As you pointed out, teachers pay dues to their union, and as dues payers, they need to have a voice in how their union operates.
Thank you for your comment.
Every state represented by AFT or NEA exclusively has higher perforance that those states that have house unions (faux unions) or that block unions with right to work laws. That tends to be true of many school districts in my area except for big city districts that have to try to overcome endemic structural racism, poverty and alternative economies.
Delicious!! And I will now steal and publish it.
God bless you! Thanks for putting to pen what so many of US feel and deal with every day!
Thank you Thom. There are many of US out there who support public education–teachers, parents, students, organizations–and it's time we all start making our voices heard.
This is great! I'm posting this on OpenLeft.com where I blog about public education policy every Sunday.
As a public school teacher, and a member of my local teachers' union, I have very mixed feelings about your comments. I agree that many parents are not involved and that the general public places the blame of poor schools soley on us. I agree that the opionions of teacher are rarely solicited and seldom taken into account. However, I also have grown weary of the union members in Tulsa who publicly whine about how hard they work, how many hours they work and how much time/money they spend on their own. Yet, privately they are the first people out the door and they boast that they don't take work home with them (because they don't get paid for it) and they won't spend their own money (because it's not their job). They are right, but don't publicly play a martyr.
A few years ago, our district offered us the option to take off two PD days during the school year IF we chose to take the PD over the summer. It was just a choice. If we didn't take that option, we could simply attend PD on the regularly scheduled days during the school year. Without exaggerating, I would say that 99% of the teachers I knew whined that the district was "making" us work over the summer–they weren't–it was an option. Then those who didn't take that option whined when they had to do their PD during the school year. This is just one example of the constant whining and complaining I hear from my peers. It has grown old and exhausting and we can't blame anyone but ourselves for the bad reputation we have helped create for ourselves. Even my most liberal, public education-supporting, pro-teacher friends and family members have mentioned to me that teachers seem to be a "whiny" group. I must concur. Atleast in Tulsa.
Another example, my principal gives us 270 minutes of plan time per week–that's a full 70 minutes more than required by our contract. Yet if someone is ill and one of our plan times is canceled, teachers scream and yell–despite the fact that they are still getting MORE than they are required. Additionally, many of the teachers in my building think that "plan" time = personal time.
Yes, there are many problems. Yes, there are many obstacles. Yes, it IS very hard work. Yes, we are underpaid. Yes, we unfairly shoulder the blame for society's problems. My work ethic tells me to roll up my sleeves, do what it takes to help every indiviudal child, treat children with respect (because I am, after all, the adult.)
I have grown weary of my peers. While still a member of my teacher's unions, I'm no longer active because I simply can't bear to attend yet another meeting and listen to everyone whine.
I agree, it is time to speak out. I must say, however, that many union leaders are part of the problem. Unions should stand up for the rights of teachers, and in many instances that's not the case. In fact, strangely enough, I have been very disappointed to see that in at least two districts I have worked the Unions don't hold meetings of teachers without the presence of administrators (I have stressed this numerous times to be ignored and viewed as some alien radical). This is truly laughable: A meeting of workers with the very administrators that cause many of the problems we see in our schools. If we are to change business as usual in education, let's start by critically assessing our own role and that of our leaders. If we don't, we are shamefully contributing to the problem.
Stuart and Ernesto,
I'm saddened to hear about the situations that you have both been a part of. I agree that teachers shouldn't "whine;" instead, teachers need to begin having a voice. Stuart, I agree that to simply complain without taking any action to remedy the situation does get extremely old. I think some teachers are simply overwhelmed while others just need to vent their frustrations in order to clear their minds for the next day. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are still others who seem to complain no matter what, and it sounds like you may have met some of them. I don't, however, feel the unions are to blame for this behavior–I think a sense of helplessness contributes to their attitudes regarding teaching. This is why I am trying to empower teachers to speak up, get involved, and become a part of the solution to the problems that currently face public education. Ernesto, a situation similar to yours in which teachers can't speak out due to fear of being punished is very common, but having union meetings with administrators present (hopefully) is not.
I agree with both of you that everything begins with us, the teachers. Restoring our reputation as professionals is key. Building a relationship with the communities we teach in is also extremely important. Pointing out some of the problems we face on a day-to-day basis ALONG WITH some logical solutions is a great way to begin this process. By involving teachers, parents, and local businesses, and by gaining the support of our legislators we can accomplish much more than those who are currently "reforming" our schools with an iron fist.
While much of this blog points out some of the issues that we, as educators, face, I feel the most important part is the last two paragraphs in which I state that now is the time we need to speak up and let America hear OUR ideas for fixing the system. Maybe then, instead of being called a "'whiny' group," we will be considered a group of creative, motivated individuals with the courage, the compassion, and the selflessness necessary to make the world a better place because, in the end, isn't that truly what any great teacher sets out to do?
Thank you both for your comments, and I hope that both of you continue to read and post.
Teachers work longer than most people realize. A 2008 research study reported that full-time teachers work, on average, 55 hours per week. [1] (This includes all the after school and evening and weekend work in correcting papers at home, preparing tests, designing lesson plans, attending after school functions as well as parent meetings, etc.) If you multiply 55 hours x 38 weeks in a regular teacher's contract, you get 2,090 hours of work. Divide the 2,090 by 40 hours per week (average workweek) and you have a typical teacher working 52.25 weeks per year! They do this in a compressed nine-months of time. It should also not be forgotten that when teachers " . . . are compelled not to work during the three months of summer, they won't be able to collect unemployment compensation." [2] However, other "seasonal workers" have that right.
[1] NEA Today (2008, September). Miscellaneous classroom concerns, 27(1), p. 28. [ED3-83]
[2] Mattsen, John A. (2000, January 15). Big surpluses, but not enough to pay teachers decent salary. Star Tribune, p. A17. [FD3-84]
Fact: A third of new teachers quit teaching after three years. One half of new teachers quit teaching after five years. Why? Is it because they have such cushy and well-paid jobs?
Where are we going to get teachers–those with BS and Masters degrees and more– to teach our children when they are constantly vilified, abused and attacked, both in the classroom and from an ill-informed general public? You better start seriously thinking about home-schooling your child or having her in classes of 60 or more. I cannot see teachers staying in the profession as their working conditions continue to deteriorate, especially with so many disruptive students who operate on a "social agenda" and not an "academic agenda." Far too many parents don't know how to parent or just don't give a damn. Too many of them expect teachers to raise their kids.
This issue about taking away the collective bargaining rights of teachers and other public employees in WI and in other states has caught the attention of many, including the few high school and college students who aspire to become a teacher. Many of them are starting to reconsider whether or not they want to be in the profession. God help us all. I see America disintegrating and I am scared to death about our survival as a country. The wrong people are being attacked. The rich and powerful must be gleeful that one worker is pitted against another. Sometimes I think the powerful and rich, on both political sides, have a hidden agenda to keep the masses in our society less educated as they could be. That way the employer pays them a smaller wage, and the politicians have an easier job of controlling and "leading" their sheep.
Private School Myths: Response to "A Public School Teacher's Manifesto"
1. They are all good. (Some are bad. Some are great.)
2. They are worth the money. (Few are.)
3. They are for the elite. (They may or may not include elite.)
4. They have fewer problems. (Public school problem students may end up in private schools.)
5. They have higher standards. (They may have lower standards.)
6. They have better teachers. (Few do. Better teachers want better pay in the public schools.)
7. Their students are successful. (Only the students who work hard are successful.)
8. They work to correct their problems. (They don't have to.)
9. Kids learn more. (Some learn less.)
10. Competition is stiff. (The almighty dollar greases the skids.)
11. Wait lists mean its a good school. (Wait lists mean they have a good PR person.)
12. Only the best students go there. (This is not true of any school.)
13. Private schools are successful. (They are only as successful as the students they admit.)
14. Private school test numbers read better than public school test numbers. (Private schools are free to remove damaging numbers from their statistics. Public school statistics reflect everything.)
15. Private schools do not have non-English speakers, physically and mentally disabled, severe emotional and drug problems. (They do. They just don't readily include them in their statistics.)
16. Private schools shield kids from the real world. (So do public schools.)
17. Private schools get all the brilliant kids. (The good school–public or private–gets the brilliant kids.)
18. Teachers teach better in private school. (Teachers worth their salt teach well wherever they are.)
19. What counts is where you went to private school. (What counts is what you learned in school–
private or public.)
20. Kids who went to private school are better off. (Some are. Some aren't.)
Bottom Line: The student is the one who reads the handwriting on the wall.
The student is the one who determines his or her own success.
Parents determine where (the school) their child will learn best.
Parents provide encouragement, provide examples of hard work and determination,
provide expectations of meeting goals and high standards–
in academics, in conduct, in athletics, and in extracurricular activities.
Parents add to the atmosphere of the school–positively or negatively.
Parents add to the outcome of their child's education–positively or negatively.
Parents add to the character of their children–positively or negatively.
Parents influence positively or negatively on their children in every way.
TEACHERS EDUCATE students assigned to their classrooms.
Teachers also, coincidentally, try to correct negative influences in children's lives
while providing good examples and high expectations, pleasant atmospheres,
positive outcomes and good influences on character.
I think there are significant benefits to public education. However, politicians and CEOs have trouble putting their money where their mouths are. The ongoing reduction in education funding at the state and federal levels are prime examples. We have had some outstanding academic success in my diverse high school. I recently wrote an open letter to Secretary Duncan about this (see link below). Many of the programs mentioned in the letter will be impacted by the reduction of Perkins funding. (https://docs.google.com/a/maine207.org/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B3SNF-9-QtSMOWU2OTJlNjktNTM1ZC00NTE2LWI4MzMtYmI5MjEwODg4YTY2&hl=en_US)
Modular Classrooms: Additional Response to A Public School Teacher's Manifesto
One way to assist teachers and to improve public schools is to develop modular setups of classrooms
like what is used for school sales of books to students. The modular setups are brought in to the library
and everything has a proper place–always the same. The books are easily set up and easily torn down.
Teachers spend inordinate amounts of time setting up their classrooms in a way that works for them.
Often teachers must vacate the room for one reason or another and reset up there or elsewhere.
With steel modular transportable setups (and secure locks) teachers could locate or relocate easily.
Teachers who work well together could locate near each other with minimal hassle. Modular setups
could be exchanged for various lesson plans. Special needs could be accommodated in a module(s).
All could be moved and locked up securely at the end of the school year or during breaks as needed.
This would take a tremendous load off of teachers and allow for more streamlined lesson planning.

You might not feel like getting a prescription to take your male hormone therapy and if you prefer to go the natural route, then we suggest that you investigate some of the top rated testosterone booster supplements. In any other circumstance we suggest that you consult with a doctor and get a prescription hormone medication.
- Gels:- AndroGel and Testim come in packets of clear testosterone gel. Testosterone is absorbed directly through the skin when you apply the gel once a day.
- Mouth patch:- Striant is a tablet that sticks to the upper gums above the incisor, the tooth just to the right or left of the two front teeth. Applied twice a day, it continuously releases testosterone into the blood through the oral tissues.
- Injections and implants: Testosterone can also be injected directly into the muscles, or implanted as pellets in the soft tissues. Your body slowly absorbs the testosterone into the bloodstream.
- Best testosterone enhancer online
STRIANT: Is the BEST MUSCLE BUILDING TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENT ON THE MARKET. The USA pharmaceutical market offers buccal Testosterone pills (manufacturer Columbia Laboratories, Inc.) that are available under the trade name Striant (the FDA approved in June, 2003).
ANDRIOL: The manufacturer of oral pills Testosterone on Canadian pharmaceutical market is Merck Canada, Inc. In Canada, Testosterone pills are available under the trade name Andriol (approved by the Health Canada in December, 1992).
Androgenic hormone testosterone affects the activity of some drugs as these can increase or decrease the androgenic effect of testosterone and so should be added into the combination therapy. We recommend that you use these medications under the advice and supervision of a medical doctor only.

Peugeot 308 CC full 9 point review
The good news is that the CC comes with a selection of fine 1.6- and 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines from the 308 hatch. The not-so-good news is that they have much more weight to drag around because of the CC's additional body stiffening. Even the most powerful of them – the 197bhp petrol turbo – has its work cut out.
Ride & Handling
The 308 feels impressively rigid with the roof up, but it gets a distinct case of the collywobbles when you drop it. That makes the ride feel very fidgety, and big bumps can send shudders through the bodywork. Body control and grip are both strong, but the car doesn't feel very agile in bends and the steering is remote.
The body wobble can get annoying after a while, but the 308 is good at protecting you from wind buffeting with the roof down, especially with the wind blocker mounted over the rear seats. You can even get blowers in the front seat backrests to waft warm air around your neck. Noise levels are mostly low, too.
Buying & Owning
Prices start at well over £20,000, which is only slightly cheaper than rival coupe-cabrios from the likes of Audi and VW. CC resale values have traditionally been a little lower than those of the hatchbacks they're based on, too, because of their more limited appeal. Daily running costs shouldn't be too punishing, with all versions giving excellent economy.
Quality & Reliability
The 308 has good-quality materials throughout most of the cabin, as well as a high standard of assembly. Peugeots have been criticised for their reliability in the past, but this year's JD Power survey revealed something of an improvement; owners rated it as above average for mechanical reliability.
Safety & Security
The 308 hatchback has a very comprehensive list of safety kit, and the CC follows suit. Six airbags are standard across the range, and so is stability control. Metal-roofed convertibles are always more secure than those with a fabric hood, and security is improved by remote locking of the glovebox and centre storage cubby.
Behind The Wheel
For a mobile sun-trap, the CC has an unusually sporty driving position, with a low-slung, contoured seat. This can cause a few visibility problems when the roof is closed or when going round corners and roundabouts, because of the angle of the front screen pillars. The dash isn't ideal, either – both the layout and the switchgear itself could be clearer.
Space & Practicality
No one buys coupe-cabrios for their practicality, but the 308 isn't particularly impressive in this area. Peugeot says it's a genuine four-seater, but with such tight rear legroom, you'll hear plenty of arguments against that. The boot is a good size when the roof is closed, but you'll need to travel light when it's open.
There are four trim levels to choose from in the CC. Access models have air-conditioning, powered windows, alloys and Bluetooth, while Active models add cruise control, climate control, automatic lights and wipers, and parking sensors. Allure models have leather seats with a gizmo that blows warm air down the back of your neck, while GT models have sportier styling.

I hear it on the radio and I have to smile "this car climbed Mount Washington". It brings back fond memories of being on a family vacation and taking the 8 mile climb up the Auto Road of Mount Washington and hoping on the way down that the brakes were in good condition! But it never failed, as we returned to the bottom of the mountain without any problems. Weather permitting, many families just opt to take the trip via the Cog Railway as it climbs directly to the summit on it 3.1 mile track. There is something to be said for being known as home of the worst weather on earth, but it is a little intriguing and makes you want to experience it for yourself. The view are lovely and we will make sure to only send you during the Summer and Fall months.
Mount Washington has attracted visitors since 1642 and is the Northeast's highest peak. It contains 59 acres and is surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest. On a clear day views extend beyond New Hampshire as far as 130 miles to Vermont, New York, Quebec, Massachusetts, Maine and the Atlantic Ocean. Each year about 250,000 people visit the peak. What are you waiting for?

However, if you are new to this sport, Attitash also offers approximately 12 miles of easy-to-moderate trails along the Saco River.
If you do not plan to bring your bike along with you on vacation, Attitash provides access to mountain bike rentals. All rentals come complete with a helmet or just bring along your own.
After a day of enjoying the great outdoors, return to the Inn and relax by the pool. Now this is what they call a vacation!

I'M NOT trying to fuck someone over. which is why i went to you and asked you for help. Bad vibes already, and i think thats my answer.fucking fuck
To a friend:Hey I was just thinking about change and things. Everyone enters different chapters of their lives. Sometimes they occur at the same time as their friends, sometimes they don't. You're entering a new chapter and that means you change. Maybe for the better. Maybe for the worse, but you don't know which one until you can look back and really decide for yourself. No one can decide that for you, and even when you can decide it's already in the past! Everything's already been said and done. It can't be changed, so all that matters anyways is what you make of your past. Change is the process of life, changes in your body, changes in your location, changes in your philosophy and mentality. If it didn't happen our parents would think like teenagers, and our teenagers would act like 5 year olds. People always say they'll never be like this and they'll never do that, but when they step through the changes in life they (and the people closest to them) find themselves doing things that they wouldn't do in the previous chapter. Stepping through these chapters is hard for friends that are across distances because they're not stepping together. So what if you're boyfriend has "changed" you. That's just a chapter in life, and you've just hit that chapter earlier then them. Maybe there is truth in their words. Maybe you've given up some of your past passions, after all they are you're "best friends". But when it comes down to it, you decide if you're ready and willing and okay with the changes going on. So what if you're ready earlier than them; they'll catch up. So what if you're okay with those changes. Genuine friends won't judge or criticize or reprimand you because of that. They'll stick by your side because that's respect and that's what friends do. I can't count the times my friends have done something against my advice, but they make their own decisions and no matter the outcome I won't throw it in their faces. They learned on their own, and that's something to be respected because that takes courage and strong will. -erin
home is not not something i want to run from. home is not a place that should hurt my heart. the house my parents live in is one of my homes at the moment and it is probably most significant. significant because there are alot of memories that have constructed me. I sat in basement last night after the girls left. Just sitting. I didn't realize how much has happened in my basement with groups of friends or just a couple or just me and one person, like the time Mairin drank an entire box of wine from my parents fridge then threw it up, and that same night Maria drank a screwdriver for the first time... even though to this day I'm convinced it was gross. Then there was that Valentine's Day weekend my parents were out of town and that huge snow storm came in... and all the trouble Lauren and Shannon and I brewed up in it... taking my Mom's truck out... how idiotic, but how much fun. And those seek@bllt bags we had. Those were made in none other than my basement. Oh the infamous seek@bllt. Haha, teenage girls are so cruel. And the superbowl party that was supposed to be in the basement but ended up upstairs because my parents kicked us out. The same superbowl party with the penis carrot and the shredding of Shannon's granny panties. All the numerous movies I watched in the basement with Jayson, and all the numerous times I fell alseep in his arms. And there was the time Danfi and James and Mikey came over after school... what a disaster. Haha, and I can picture Camille standing on the arm of the loveseat checking her phone for messages because thats the only way she got service down there...Just because those memories aren't me anymore doesn't mean that I want to forget them. They made my good times, bad times, and all of the times in between. My previous entry is about how it hurts to be here because I'm not who I used to be. Yes, I'm not the same Erin Ashley Over-Reactor Grace Swynenberg that I used to be, but I'm not going to let that hold me down. I think alot of the reason I haven't been home alot this summer was because I hated to be here. I was running away so I wouldn't have to face it. But I'm here now, and I've realized that I love everything about this house. The ghosts of yesterdays memories don't haunt me anymore. They make me smile, and they make me thankful for all the friends that I have and have had.. The lessons I've learned are priceless. This house is priceless. I love it.I have many homes. The Bonta house. Amy & Scott's house. My Grandparent's house. Camille's house. Aunt Laura & Uncle Ward's house. They're all my homes because thats where my love, my passion, and my life is. Hell I could be staying in a hotel with Amy Eric Mom Dad Scott and Faith and that would be home enough for me... Just because they're there. Home is where the heart is; where my heart is.
This Room.This room is tired. The vibrant purple and teal rectangles are only a deception to hide all the secrets that it's walls hold.It is ready for a fresh coat of paint and a new owner. This room is sad. It longs for action, love, and attention. It's four walls are plastered with photographs, trinkets, and certificates of past achievements, events, and memories. Day in and day out the sun comes in and the memories dance around together. Night in and night out the memories sleep in their lonliness and sink deeper and deeper into the past.They wait for the day that their owner will return so they can remind her of times that are no longer hers. This room is cold. Where is it's owner and why is she letting go?It silently screams:"Don't leave me. Grow with me. All these things made you. Don't forget me. Don't get caught up and lose these things.THey aren't here to make you sad. They're here to show you how far you've come. They won't forget you. Don't leave them." This room is bitter. It tears at it's owners heart. The walls close in and suffocate. She is a stranger to this place.She looks the same but sounds & acts different. She is saddened.This room is not hers anymore.
i belong to no one but myself i belong to the sun. the sky. the endless horizons. i've been holding out like this for so long,and i want to let it goits the feelingmaybe i need to let the feeling go and go for the guys i can get.... but i don't want to settle for lessbut they aren't less. some of these guys are awesome.but are they the right ones for me? isn't that what the feeling is though... thats what i thought at least maybe its time to change my perspective. i'm tired of being lonely but i don't want to settle.with just anyone. i want it to be right. i want him to be right i want the feeling. should i let that go?
what is home?i don't know that word anymore. i'm a soul. a lost soulwondering around looking for a place and a reason. can you give me a reason?a passion?a love? life doesn't cut it sometimes. full of spirit but empty inside what do you do with just a shell? someone please let me know because i just don't. i miss the people who mean the most to me. i miss. lauren. brittany. camille. i miss laughing to the outright fullest. i miss driving around to ungodly hours trying to figure out what to do, just to come home with broken hopes and an empty tank of gas. haha oh even the thought makes me laugh. i never have times liek that anymore theres always something going on. as welcoming as it sounds, its so different. why am i sitting around writing about it?
For 18 years I have been a military brat. I guess you could say, I'm used to it by now. The truth is, I'm not. It seems like everytime my dad or brother are on deployment the situation is different, slightly skewed. My dads gone, only for a month this time, and thank God for that, but everything is different now. I'm terribly worried about my Mom. When we were little at least she had that. We're not so little anymore, not so little at all. Theres no one there for her right now. What would happen if something happened to her? Who would be there? I'm not two flights of stairs away anymore, and Amy is 2 hours away. I know shes so lonely, and I want to be there for her so bad, but I can't and it kills me. I know its not my fault, but holding her in my heart just isn't cutting it. A month might not seem like a long time, but God it feels like forever. He won't be here for Christmas. Even Eric will be here! I guess you win one, you lose one. It's not fair. I now know, I take for granted going Christmas shopping for my Mom with my Dad. I always thought it would be easier for him to give me money so I could just go. Like most guys, hes a horrible person to shop with haha. I'm gonna miss it this year though. Alot. and I don't know... just, why does this always have to be so hard...
today was long, but lately it seems like everyday is that way. in fact this whole week has been really long and slow. after being gone for a week i ran errands all day monday just to leave for tech on monday night. orientation tuesday sucked. i felt like i was at camp and it was not what i had expected. i was in a grumpy mood. a girl's best friend came to visit me that day. not to mention it was tremendously unexpected, so, ya, that explains that. wednesday on the other hand was much better. i have my classes all scheduled. i'll have to make some adjustments when my ib scores are submitted, but other than that i'm pretty content with them. i came home wednesday night on a high because i got my laptop and im pretty bloody excited about it, but i was quickly brought down by waking up early on thursday in order to make it on time to court, which was the biggest crock of bull shit i have ever experienced in my life. whatever though. its over and done and theres nothing i can do about it now. i do however have to serve 8 hours of community service. at an old folks home. in woodbridge. ya... great. and my thursday was lost just like that by court. and having to go to work for a whoping hour and a half.i got my menengitis shot today. so far it doesn't hurt at all. we'll see. i also: went to fair oaks mall for m.a.c. make-up, got faith's babyshower present (or part of it), got my tires rotated and balanced, my car aligned, and my oil changed. oh and i scheduled to have my wisdom teeth out today too. next thrusday the 21st at 830am. it doesn't conflict with the road trip i want to take so thats good. that was what i was mainly worried about. i have to go to work today. in fact i should be leaving about now, but i'm not even ready so it can wait. i wasn't supposed to work today. in fact i had kelley cover my shift so i wouldn't have to but cam is sick as hell so i'm going in for her. i don't really care about giorgio's anymore. dont get me wrong i love the restaurant and i love the family and my co-workers its just the new girls frustrate me (except for camille shes the only good new one) and im leaving soon so i don't see the point anymore. i don't know...I get so antsy being at home. I don't know whats going on, but I can't handle it. The thing is, I know better than to act this way, to have this attitude toward the situation, to be thinking the silly things I have been thinking. I think its just the circumstances at hand that are doing it to me. I don't want to overly try for a failure. The main thing that runs through my head when I want to call him is: "if he wanted to call me, he would. He would make time for me if he wanted." Now, I know he is shy. I know that, and in knowing that I would take the step and I would call him. But there is a little barrier thats holding up a big stop sign. Its called distance. Its called 12 hours away, and in less than a month its called 3 time zones away. Lets face it, long distance relationships are a bitch. I have not experienced it first hand, but I mean, really, its obvious. Then again there is the side of me that says anything can work if you make it work, and I want it to. I like him so much. He gives me butterflies. He makes me happy. He is always on my mind. I am afraid that I am not on his, and thats why I don't want to try. I don't know how far he is willing to take this or if he wants to at all. I don't want to be the silly one that says let's go for this and him be the sensible one that says let's not. I think he's afraid, like me, to get in too deep just to find out that distance isn't an obstacle that we can't overcome... A smart Erin would stop here and leave it be, but since when have i been a smart Erin?
I thought florida would be the end all be all of the confusion in me. I thought i would get back and be all new, all refreshed, totally on track erin. Well damn, was i wrong or what? Not only did florida suck as a refresher but I got back on a wrong note (twelve hours in an airport doesn't do much for you). Don't get me wrong, Florida was beautiful, but it was my final realization about mine & lynzi's friendship. I guess it wasn't so much shocking and hurting as it was annoying. I was silly to think things would be different, silly. On top of that, I thought I might be able to come to terms with Jayson while i was down there. To be honest, I didn't come to terms with jackshit. If there was one person i thought about while I was down there, it was Jayson. I think I am now though. The prom incident hit me hard. I try not to think about how it affects me in order to be happy for him, and I am happy for him. I really am. It's just bittersweet, I guess. I know I'll be fine though. Time eases all things, right? Right, and it has loosened up quite a bit. I really hate that I have so much to look forward to lately, but I don't feel happy or excited about any of it. I feel like something is tying me down and smothering me. Amys pregnant. Eric's coming home. I got accepted to Tech. Dad stopped working nights. Warm weather is finally coming around. It's great. It's all great, but I can't explain why I had a breakdown on the phone with Amy the other night. Never in my life have I had a conversation like that with Amy. I respect her more now than ever before. She has gone through more than I ever knew. I also found somethings out in that conversation. I don't know what to do with them. I really don't know if I should even bother opening them up in my mind because I don't think I really have processed anything she told me. I guess, for right now, I'll just say im disgusted. I don't know what else to call it. When I was little I thought my family was invincible. I thought we were like a big gang, always having fun, always getting along, no problems you know. Then I started to get older and I realized well damn my aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins aren't that great. I started to see that they are all just people too, and they make mistakes just like everyone else. Eventually, I came to terms with that, and the older I get the more I realize. And even though that happened with my extended family nothing changed... until now. I don't know what to do. They're my family I love them more than anyone else in the world. I've lived with them for so long I know their personality flaws, but I never thought it would be carried that far. I'm in such a state of shock. I really don't know what to do. I guess there is nothing I can do. Right now, I'm so far behind in school, I don't have time to think about it. I'm tired of this, I know that much. I just want things to be okay for me for once. I want to be able to enjoy everything, I guess right now isn't my time... I just don't know.
I guess you could say, I've succeeded at losing not one, but two fabulous guys. Neither perfect, and both sometimes frustrating, but neither ever did anything wrong. I guess you could say, these past two months I've made some of the worst decisions. Decisions made of lust, selfishness, hurt, resent, confusion. Do me and everything else will fall into place is what they told me. And that's damn good advice, damn good, but when it comes down to it, how am I supposed to do me when I don't even know what me is, if I've lost that. And boy did I as I'm seeing now. The past two months I've been very much out of character. When I look back on it all I can think is "What the hell were you thinking dragging Stuart into it like this, or leaving Jayson like that. You dumb girl what were you thinking?" Very plainly, I wasn't thinking. Going out with Stuart was a mistake. Don't get me wrong, he's awesome, all someone could ask for. I think he has taught me more about myself then damn near anyone (with the exception of my parents). But really, what was I thinking saying yes to him, how much more selfish can you get then that? I'm a complete idiot. It's not fair to half-way like someone when they all-the-way like you, and I should've recognized that. "if you can be with him then u obviously have to be over me" little did I know, and that's why I'm not with him now. I ignored all signs of logic and rational thinking. And really, what the hell was I thinking giving up jayson? Who in their right mind? I guess you could say, I don't handle confusion well. I trust my instincts a bit too much. Its good to do that and all, but there's a point where instincts and the heart and mind need to work hand and hand to really make decisions that can be trusted. I can't say I don't regret any of this because I do. But I do know, I can't change anything, merely learn from it and that sucks. I know I can't let myself have either of them. I've caused enough destruction as it is. I don't need to go burn my bridges any further, or drag it out any longer then it needs to be. I've come to realize they both are better than that, and they might not see it now, but I know deep in my heart they can both find better than me. Someone who can satisfy them more, who will make their smiles bigger, their heart grow a little more, and will be just as head-over-heels about them as they are about her. She'll give him her all and nothing less, nothing less. That'll be just enough to be more than I was because that's more than I gave. It's so hard to stay away when you know everything is your fault. I want to fix it. I want to turn back time. I want to be able to tell myself we can make it through this, its just a bump in the road, no big deal. I want that, more than anything do I wish I had that strength then. At the same time I know the way to fix it is to stay away. Let it be, when they're on with their lives again, I'll be happy. I'm starting to see he's getting into the swing of things again, and that makes me smile, soo much. I don't think he has any idea. It's bittersweet it really is, letting go is. Maybe sometime in the future. We'll meet again as friends with no left over connection. It's too early now, so we'll see. As for me and right now, I'll try my best to put it behind me, and try to create an all new me. A little less angry, a little less sensitive. A little less pensive, and a lot less resentful. A lot more happy, and a couple parts of laughter. A pinch of memories, and two more pinches of love. After Spring Break I know I'll be on my way. It'll give me just enough time to find me again, be back at happy again. After this is set semi-straight, I'll be able to fix other aspects of my life. Time is a sweet sweet thing. It eases all things, so be good to it. Don't rush it. Things will come soon enough, just wait and cherish now, thats all you can do.
i don't really come here much. i don't think i need to. the only things i really feel the need to get out are annoying to everyone else. i guess school really sucks. homecoming set me back alot. i think its a large part of why i hated homecoming so much because it was a big dissappointment. not just the dance but the whole week. its really sad how little school spirit there is. i couldve not participated and done my work and been okay except i wouldve felt really guilty. here i go anyways because i can't help it: jayson and i have been going out a month now. its nice. i really like him alot. i know that sounds childish but i do :) we goof off like little kids he makes me feel like im in the third grade when you used to have really big crushes and didnt know what to do... except im in 12th grade now and i know what to do so its nice. i pout and he deals with it, he argues and i argue back... he swears hes right and i swear against it... i have my ups and downs with my feeling for him. sometimes theyre low sometimes theyre high... but they never ever completley go away. im still learning how to do this relationship deal... ive never really felt this way about anyone before. im planning on being with him for a while... which is dangerous but i think its safe to do at the same time... i cant really see any reason as to why or what could happen between us... but theres always that chance so im trying to be careful... but he makes it so hard :) hes contagious... i swear hes contagious... ill go over to his house in the afternoon only planning on being there for a half hour or so and i end up leaving at 430 or 5... he makes me so happy.and now im ending this so i can go call him and wake him up :)

Police: Man failed to register as offenderMarch 26,2014Cops: Man failed to
register as offender
A man convicted in 1999 in Bennington of sexual assault on a minor is behind bars on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.
Jeremy Smith, 36, who until recently had lived in Troy, N.Y., pleaded innocent last week in federal court in Burlington to the charge, according to a press release from the U.S. attorney's office. Smith was ordered jailed pending a trial, which has not been scheduled.
According to court records, Smith's 1999 conviction in Bennington required him to register as a sex offender in any state where he resides or moves to. In early 2011, after being released from prison in Vermont, Smith moved to New York, records stated.
However, he did not register as a sex offender with New York officials, according to court records.
A federal grand jury in Rutland returned an indictment last month charging Smith with failing to register, and he was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in South Carolina on Feb. 21. He has been jailed since his arrest.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

The machine adopts the moving-column principle, in this way, the table does rotating movement, longitudinal feed is derived from the movement of the column and the wheel head can only move up and down on the column for vertical feed.
The table is driven to rotate by a motor with frequency convert and through speed reduction by the triangular belt. The lead screw is driven by a servo motor through speed reduction by the triangular belt to make the column move longitudinally.
The wheel head moves up and down by a servo motor through speed reduction of a pair of gears to drive a lead screw to elevate the wheel head. The CNC system adopts SIEMENS system whose feed sensibility is 0.001 mm.

Just a reminder Great American BBQ Showdown 8pmEST TONIGHT!
Tonight if you live in the US you will be lucky enough to watch the Great American BBQ Showdown at 8pm EST on the Food Network.
Featuring 4 great teams: Checkered Pig, Divine Smoke, Bu-Ba-Q and Black Jack.
I wrote about the program here. Check it out.
Sadly for us in Ontario we will get another episode of Jamie Olivers Ministry of Food. That seriously bites the big one. UGH. Hope some of my American Friends and family tape it and post it on youtube for us Northerners.
Bu-Ba-Q on The Food Network Challenge Show January 17th 2010
You know its always nice to hear of great BBQ friends getting some press.
Heres a great family I really admire Bu-Ba-Q and their most recent press release:
ATLANTA, January 5, 2010 – Bub-Ba-Q LLC, a locally owned barbeque restaurant and competition cook team will appear on The Food Network Challenge Show airing on January 17th 2010 at 8 pm and January 20th 2010 at 7 pm.
Bub-Ba-Q was selected as one of four professional cook teams showcased by Food Network competing at the 2009 South Carolina Festival of Discovery. The event was sanctioned and governed by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
According to William "Bubba" Latimer, founder and owner "It was an honor to be involved with The Food Network Challenge Show crew and host Keegan Gerhard. They chose the event to profile professional barbeque competition cooking so after spending days in front of a camera, it will be great to see the show finally."
Bub-Ba-Q opened in 2004 in Jasper, Georgia adding its second location in 2009 in Woodstock, Georgia. Professional competition cooking started in 2006 quickly gaining regional and national recognition with numerous "Grand Champion" victories.
The quick success and awards at the professional level led to an exclusive invitation to the Jack Daniels World Invitational Barbeque Championship "The Jack" in 2008 and return invite in 2009. Competing against the top professional BBQ cooks from all over the country, Bub-Ba-Q finished 30th overall in 2008 but rose to a 3rd place overall finish in 2009. Preceding "The Jack", Bub-Ba-Q took "Grand Champion" at the 2009 Best of the Best Invitational event.
"I love cooking barbeque so being able to compete professionally is a very fulfilling and rewarding experience for me and my family. I am blessed to have such success among a peer group that has been cooking professionally for many years. From the Jack Daniels World Championship showing, opening our second location to being on The Food Network, 2009 was a milestone year for Bub-Ba-Q said Latimer."
About Bub-Ba-Q
Woodstock, Georgia based Bub-Ba-Q L.L.C specializes in serving award winning traditional southern style barbeque with two restaurants, catering and competition cooking team. Team Bub-Ba-Q finished the 2008 and 2009 professional circuit as the 2nd ranked cook team by the National BBQ rankings.

First Look: Official Stills from The Great Gatsby With Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio
Call us F. Scott Fitzgerald-aholics, but we're fully freaking out over these two just-released film stills from Baz Luhrmann's December 2012 reboot of The Great Gatsby (yep, the same one starring Gemma Ward).
While the image at left depicts neighbors and sometimes-lovers Jay Gatsby (Leo) and Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan) locked in a passionate embrace, the more lavish scene below is likely lifted from one of the film's many elaborate party scenes at Gatsby's West Egg manse. Looks like Daisy's flapper headwear collection is going to be pretty stellar. And remember, the film's set to be released in 3D, and you know what that means: fur stoles, perfectly-folded shirts and Prohibition-era champagne comin' atcha!

4to40 > Travel Places > Show All Backwaters Travel Places > Backwaters Travel Places > India > Andaman and Nicobar
Print | Recommend This Site
Just under 200 kilometers (120 miles) west of southern Burma and only 140 kilometers (88 miles) from Indonesia lies one of India's least-known but most exciting destinations. The 293 islands that form the Andaman and Nicobar Islands stretch 800 kilometers (500 miles) north to south and are over 900 kilometers (600 miles) east of India. They are in fact the remains of a now-submerged hill range that extends from the Arakan to Sumatra. The Andamans are made up of 274 islands, of which only 26 are inhabited; 12 of the 19 Nicobar Islands are inhabited, but all are unfortunately closed to tourists. Only a few of the Andaman Islands are accessible, but the pleasures of relaxing at Corbyn's Cove, exploring the colonial ruins on Ross Island, visiting a lumber operation with working elephants, or bird-watching on Chiriya Tapu, are only a few of the activities that are available. Many of the islands have been challenged by the dual threats of the axe and human migration from the mainland. At Independence, the islands' total population was only 50,000, made up of a mix of tribals, convicts, Burmese labour and a small administration. The population is now close to two million, only a fifth of whom are aboriginal. The tribal groups are of Mongoloid stock in the Nicobars, while the original Andamanese are Negreto and form four tribes: Onges, Jharwas, Sentinelese and Andamanese. The Great Andamanese, once the most prolific tribe, now number only 26 and live on Strait Island. The Onges, who live on Little Andaman, now number only 98, while the Jharwas number 250. 'Civilization' has been, and still is, the greatest threat to the indigenous population. Although remote, the islands have long been known. In the second century, Ptolemy called them 'islands of good fortune'; in the seventh century, Buddhist pilgrims traveling between India and Southeast Asia used to stop here; and in the 15th century, Nicolo Conti referred to them as 'islands of gold'. Modern records of the islands date from 1789 when Lieutenant Archibald Blair was sent to survey the area and established the short-lived settlement at Port Cornwallis. Development came only after the 1857 Mutiny, or the War of Independence, when the British government established a new settlement at Port Blair and developed a penal colony. 'Freedom Fighters' and convicts were transported to the islands and one of the few man-made sites was developed. The Cellular Gaol was completed in 1906 and today part of it is a national monument; remarkably it is still a functioning gaol. Incidentally, the food is reported to have improved! Port Blair is the entry point for both air and sea travelers. Indian Airlines has thrice-weekly flights from Calcutta and Madras plus flights from New Delhi via Bhubaneswar. While the tribal islands are strictly protected, the small but interesting Anthropological Museum (closed on Saturdays) has a collection of old photographs, models and tools which give some idea of their 'primitive' way of life. The population of the town includes migrants from all parts of India, with Burmese and Bengalis predominating. Apart from the gaol and the museum, the natural beauty of the islands coupled with the extraordinary range of birds, flowers and marine life and the relics of colonial history make a visit rewarding. Probably the best way to explore Port Blair is bicycle, hired from a shop in Aberdeen bazaar for about Rs 15 per day. Some of the roads are hilly but the effort is rewarded. Two kilometers (just over a mile) out of Port Blair, at Haddo, is a small zoo (closed on Mondays) where estuarine crocodiles are being bred for reintroduction to the island's small rivers and mangrove swamps where they were previously found. The avian collection is representative of the islands and includes such species as the Nicondam Hornbill which is otherwise restricted to single island. Beyond Haddo, the Chatham Saw Mill is on an isthmus to the north. Both the Botanical Survey of India and the Zoological Survey have active units in Port Blair and their collections, especially the herbarium, are of interest. While most of the islands are off-limits, local permission is available for Redskin, Grub, Jolly Bay and Snob islands. Permission is also occasionally given to visit Ross and Viper islands. Wandoor Beach on the west coast, about an hour's drive from Port Blair, is ideal for snorkeling and diving. The Marine Department runs boats to the smaller outlying islands from here. A visit to Jolly Bay takes most of the day (you cannot stay overnight) so food must be taken. The reefs around the island are best viewed from one of the glass-bottomed boats. At the southernmost tip of South Andaman is Chiriya Tapu (Bird Island), with dense mangrove forest fringing an attractive beach noted for its butterflies. The guesthouse on the hill overlooking Chiriya Tapu also has a commanding view of the outlying islands and reefs.

Community Choice Helps Family Struck by Tragedy
Community Choice CU in Farmington Hills and a Detroit radio station teamed up this week to help a family who lost their two-year-old daughter in a fire that also destroyed their mobile home in Howell.
The credit union teamed up with WKQI 95.5 FM, Channel 955's Mojo in the Morning "Breaking & Entering" project to help the family, delivering hundreds of gifts for them.
James and Amber Robinson and their daughter Jaslin lost everything in a house fire late on Nov. 13. The couple's two-year-old daughter Arianna Rosemarie Robinson died at the hospital due to complications from the smoke and burns from the fire.
Channel 955's Mojo in the Morning brings the holidays to local families who are experiencing hardship. Every year, the show does a "break in," and presents the family with truckloads of food, necessities and gifts.
Mojo in the Morning approached Community Choice to help support the Robinson family. The credit union's 120 plus team members pitched in, raising $2,500. The money was used to purchase home and personal necessities, including clothing, kitchen supplies and toys.
"Our prayers are with the Robinson family who suffered such a profound tragedy just a few weeks ago," said Robert Bava, Community Choice President and CEO. "Our credit union and team members are grateful to Mojo in the Morning for the opportunity to help the Robinsons. We hope our efforts can be part of the Robinson's healing process and be a message to them that their community has their back and is ready to Give Big in their time of need."
Others in the credit union community took notice of Community Choice's efforts.
"It is amazing all that CCCU did to help that family, I am still choked up," said Dean Trudeau, Public Service CU president/CEO. Kudos to you and your entire team. "Thanks for making the entire credit union movement look good."

Made this for my boyfriend who was too ill with the manflu to feed himself and he loved it! I didn't have any wholegrain mustard so used a tiny bit of dijon and it was quite nice. Will try again some day with the wholegrain as well to compare. A really quick and quite filling lunch or late night snack.

Money clip credit card ditches your fat wallet
As George Costanza can tell you, having a giant wallet can result in disaster, and it usually isn't of the hilarious nature that you find on sitcoms. No, a slim wallet makes for a happy ass, and your ass would love you if you picked up this Visa Money Clip. A brilliant combination of a money clip and a credit card, it allows you to carry around your plastic and a wad of cash without any extra bulk at all. While still a concept at the moment, this entry in a Visa design competition by Roger Arquer is so simple and would be such a cinch to make we can't imagine it not becoming a reality. And yeah, it might not be as slick as the C'ALL Future Phone, but it does have the benefit of being, you know, technologically possible to create rather than just a sweet Photoshop, so we give it a leg up.

Zend Framework SVN Standards
Access SVN is granted to component area leads and higher volume contributors. If you need access to SVN you may request it on the mailing list or through a component lead that you have worked with previously.
A few rules should be kept in mind when using SVN:
- All commits should contain commit comments.
- If a commit is resolving an issue from the issue tracker, the issue KEY should be indicated in the commit comment (i.e. "This resolves ZF-2"). This will cause it to be auto-linked from Fisheye to the issue, and also the reverse link from the issue back to Fisheye. The issue key can be seen when viewing any issue in the upper left corner of the screen.
- All commits that would affect release notes should have an associated issue in the tracker. There are issue types for most situations, and if it is just a significant change that does not fit into another category, use the issue type "Patch."
- It is no longer neccessary to update NEWS.TXT as the issue tracker will be used to generate release notes.
- When resolving an issue, feel free to edit the issue's title to be clearer based on anything you learned while fixing it. This will aid the readability of the release notes.
