Maurice Edward Clarett (born October 29, 1983)[1] is a former American football running back who played for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League. During his freshman year at Ohio State University in 2002, he helped lead the Buckeyes to a national championship. In a widely unexpected move, Clarett was drafted on the first day of the 2005 NFL Draft with the final pick of the 3rd round (#101 overall) by the Denver Broncos. He is well known for unsuccessfully challenging the NFL's draft eligibility rules requiring a player to be three years removed from high school and for his tumultuous life outside of football, including his dismissal from Ohio State, several arrests, and later, imprisonment.
Clarett is the son of Myke Clarett Sr. and Michelle Renee Clarett (now divorced). His father once worked as a Regional Representative for the Secretary of State in Ohio. His mother worked as a senior administrator for the Youngstown City Clerk of Court. He has an older brother, Marcus, who was a defensive tackle for the University at Buffalo and another older brother, Michael Graham Clarett Jr.
Clarett has a daughter, born July 16, 2006, with girlfriend Ashley Evans.
After displaying his abilities as a punishing freshman tailback on the Austintown-Fitch High School varsity team, Clarett transferred to Warren G. Harding High School to continue his scholastic career and garnered national attention. When he graduated from Harding, many national publications ranked him among the top 100 players nationally.[2] He was a 2002 U.S. Army All-American. Clarett received an offer from Ohio State University and verbally committed to Ohio State over offers from Notre Dame, Fresno State, and the University of Miami. He formally committed to the Buckeyes in February 2002.[3] Ohio State's coach, Jim Tressel, had previously been coach of Clarett's hometown Youngstown State Penguins. Later, Clarett received the USA Today Offensive High School Player of the Year and Parade All-American distinctions.
Clarett starred at Ohio State for one season, rushing for 1,237 yards (a school record for a freshman) and scoring 18 touchdowns, which helped the Buckeyes to a 14-0 record and the 2002 BCS National Championship. He scored the winning touchdown against the University of Miami with a five-yard run in the second overtime in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl (played January 3, 2003). He also made a key defensive play in that game, stealing the ball on the Miami 28 from Hurricanes safety Sean Taylor, who was returning an interception from the end zone of a pass thrown by Craig Krenzel. After that play, Ohio State kicked a field goal, giving them a 10-point lead at the time. Clarett was the first freshman to be the leading rusher on a national championship team since Ahman Green of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1995.
Year | Games | Rushes | Yards | Average | TD |
2002 | 11 | 222 | 1,237 | 5.6 | 18 |
Total | 11 | 222 | 1,237 | 5.6 | 18 |
Clarett's time at Ohio State University was marked by several troubling incidents. He was seen yelling at his position coach during the Northwestern - Ohio State game in the 2002 season. In December 2002, he publicly maligned OSU officials for not paying for him to fly home for the funeral of a friend and accused administrators of lying when they said he had not filed the necessary paperwork. In July 2003, Clarett became the center of an academic scandal when a teaching assistant told the New York Times that Clarett had received preferential treatment from professors (claiming he had not attended any classes during his only year at Ohio St) the investigation did not find sufficient evidence of academic misconduct.
Ohio State later suspended Clarett for the 2003 athletic year after he was charged with filing a false police report. Clarett had filed a false claim that more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment were stolen from a car he borrowed from a local dealership in September 2003. Athletic Director Andy Geiger stated that Clarett also took in special benefits totaling approximately $29,000, and repeatedly misled investigators. Clarett later pleaded guilty to a lesser criminal charge (failure to aid a law enforcement official) in that incident.
Clarett moved to Los Angeles after his dismissal from Ohio State, and, while living there, sued to be included in the 2004 NFL Draft. He won his case at trial. However, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. Subsequently, Clarett worked with trainers in preparation for the 2005 NFL Combine, hoping to impress for the upcoming draft.[4] It was also in Los Angeles that Clarett's problems with drugs and alcohol began.[5] Clarett has battled depression and alcoholism since as early as 2002.[6]
In his attempt to enter the 2004 NFL Draft, Clarett challenged the NFL's rule that a player must wait three years after graduating from High School to declare for the draft. Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin initially ruled based on anti-trust grounds that the NFL could not bar Clarett from participating in the 2004 NFL Draft.[7] This decision was later overturned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in an opinion by Judge Sonia Sotomayor, and Clarett's petition for certiorari was refused by the Supreme Court.[8] Clarett and USC wide receiver Mike Williams, who were both hoping to enter the draft early, were then barred from the draft by the NFL. Later, because they both signed agents before being denied the opportunity to join the NFL Draft, the NCAA refused to reinstate the college eligibility of Clarett or Williams.
Clarett has been represented by California attorney David Kenner. Clarett also lived with Kenner and claims that Kenner helped him straighten out his life[citation needed]. Kenner is also the longtime attorney of Death Row Records CEO and hip-hop kingpin Marion "Suge" Knight.
In February 2005, he participated in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. During a press conference, he uttered the phrase: "It's a humbling thing being humble." After running a disappointing 4.72 and 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash, he refused to participate further, and was referred to as "Slow-Mo" by the sports media, who were largely critical of his combine performance.[citation needed]
Ohio State declined to allow him to take part in a private workout for pro scouts in Columbus because it wanted to avoid a "circus" situation.[citation needed]
In a widely unexpected move, Clarett was drafted on the first day of the 2005 NFL Draft with the final pick of the 3rd round (#101 overall) by the Denver Broncos. Many experts felt that he would fall to the 6th or 7th round, if he was drafted at all.[9] However, Clarett turned out to be unimpressive in the Denver Broncos' preseason training camp. In part due to having not played a game in two years or practiced in over a year, he entered training camp weighing 248 pounds, more than 20 pounds overweight. He was also slow to recover from an injury.
Despite his unimpressive training camp, Clarett signed a four-year contract on July 28, 2005 with the Broncos in which he gave up $413,000 of guaranteed money in order to secure an incentive-laden deal. Clarett signed this deal against the advice of his former agents, Steve Feldman and Josh Luchs. Clarett's motivation was to replace the proposed deal with a package that would pay him first-round money if he rushed for 1,000 yards in multiple seasons.
However, after further disappointments and incidents with his coaches and never playing a preseason game, Clarett was released on waivers on August 28, 2005, only a month after signing his contract and before playing even a single down in the NFL. As is standard procedure in the NFL, for a 24-hour period after his release, other teams could have claimed him and taken on his contract. After that 24-hour period, he was freed from his contract and able to negotiate with any team, but no team expressed interest.[10]
As his college and NFL careers tanked, The Miami Herald reported in September that Clarett was already $1 million in debt from legal fees for his fight with the NFL and other costs. They also reported that Clarett turned down the traditional signing bonus in the originally proposed contract from Denver because Kenner wanted incentives that would pay Clarett if he became a star.[11]
In December 2005, Clarett was in talks to play for the Steubenville Stampede, a squad in the North Division of the American Indoor Football League. According to Jim Terry, Manager of the Stampede, "I have been in contact with [Clarett's] agent and he's expressed interest with us... Clarett is hungry and has something to prove. He has a chip on his shoulder and wants to show he can still play."[12] However, Clarett never signed with the Stampede. In an interview with the Columbus Dispatch published on August 10, 2006, Terry claimed that Clarett attempted to call him just minutes before the events on the morning of August 9 that led to Clarett's arrest.
Clarett also expressed interest in playing for NFL Europe. Josh Luchs, Clarett's agent, reported that Clarett was going to sign with the NFL on January 2, 2006, and was expected to be allocated to NFL Europe. There were also discussions about Clarett playing for the semi-pro Eastern Indoor Football League team the Mahoning Valley Hitmen, coached by the same Jim Terry.[13]
On August 23, 2010, Clarett was released from a halfway house and requested permission from Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge David Fais to attend a tryout for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League. The motion was approved on August 25.[14] As part of his sentence, Clarett requires court permission in order to leave the state of Ohio.[15]
On August 30, 2010, the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League signed Clarett.[16] On October 1, 2010 he played his first meaningful game of any sort in eight years, rushing for 12 yards on 5 attempts against the Sacramento Mountain Lions. As the Nighthawks' #2 running back, Clarett finished the season with 154 yards on the ground on 37 attempts and a touchdown. He also caught 12 passes for 98 yards, and returned one kickoff for 13 yards.[17] The UFL suspended operations in 2012, and as of December 2013[update] has not resumed any operations.
On May 17, 2013, it was announced that Clarett would make his rugby debut for the Columbus affiliate of Tiger Rugby at The Ohio Rugby Sevens Invitational on May 25, 2013 in Mechanicsburg, Ohio.[18] It was subsequently reported that Clarett would not play with the team as their practices did not fit with his schedule.[19]
On January 1, 2006, police announced that they were searching for Clarett in relation to two incidents of armed robbery that took place at 1:46am outside the Opium Lounge danceclub in Columbus. Allegedly, with a .45 caliber handgun, Clarett robbed two people and then escaped in a white SUV with two unidentified persons. Clarett reportedly made off with only a cell phone valued at $150 belonging to one of the victims.[20]
Said Jim Tressel, his former coach at Ohio State, "I hope it's not true, but beyond that, I don't know much, but my reaction is, I was sad."
Clarett turned himself in to police shortly after 9 p.m., EST, on January 2, just as the Buckeyes were defeating Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Arizona, the very bowl game in which Clarett last played college football. He faced two counts of aggravated robbery. He was later released on $50,000 bond .[21]
On February 10, 2006, Clarett was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on two counts of aggravated robbery with gun specifications and five other counts. If convicted, he would be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison. His attorneys said that he denied every allegation, saying Clarett "intends to fight this indictment with the same vigor and resolve he displayed in taking OSU to a national championship."[22]
On February 22, 2006, Maurice Clarett pleaded not guilty to aggravated-robbery charges. He was released on $20,000 bail until his trial began.[23]
On July 26, 2006, Clarett fired his lawyers, William Settina and Robert Krapenc, two weeks before his trial date. The privately retained attorneys had filed a motion two days earlier saying they wanted to withdraw their counsel, claiming that Clarett was not paying their fees or cooperating in his defense.[24][25]
At a status hearing held on August 9, 2006 pertaining to the January charges, Franklin County Common Pleas Judge David Fais increased Clarett's bond to $1.1 million.[26] This was due to Clarett's arrest earlier that morning (see below). On August 10, 2006, Fais ordered an additional status hearing which was held on August 11, 2006. This hearing had not been requested by either the prosecution or Clarett's defense team but was requested by Fais himself.[27] At the hearing, Fais delayed the trial until September 18, 2006, revoked the $1.1 million bond in the case and ordered Clarett to undergo a mental health evaluation.[28]
In the early morning hours of August 9, 2006, Clarett was arrested in Columbus after he made an illegal U-turn and led the police on a chase in a sports utility vehicle reportedly belonging to his uncle. After Clarett drove over a police spike strip, the chase ended in a nearby restaurant parking lot.[29][30]
Police said they were forced to secure a cloth around Clarett's mouth after he allegedly spit at the officers and called them "niggers" during the arrest. According to Columbus Police Sgt. Mike Woods, the officers discovered a katana, a zanbatō, a loaded AK-47 variant and two other loaded handguns in his vehicle along with an open bottle of Grey Goose vodka.[31] The police requested that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives perform a trace on the firearms to determine if Clarett violated Federal gun laws.
The officers used mace to subdue Clarett after attempts to subdue him with a Taser proved ineffective because he was wearing Kevlar body armor.
Clarett was arraigned on the latest charges on August 10, 2006 in Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus. During the arraignment, Judge Andrea C. Peeples set his bond on the charges of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and failure to maintain current lane at $5 million. In setting the bond, Peeples agreed with prosecutors that Clarett is now a flight risk or could attempt to intimidate witnesses in his upcoming robbery trial.[32] Clarett remained lodged in the Franklin County Corrections Center, however, as the $1.1 million bond for the robbery charge was revoked by trial judge David Fais. According to a Columbus Dispatch report, Clarett, who was due to be tried for his January arrest, was in the neighborhood of one of the principal witnesses against him at the time the events of August 9 occurred.[citation needed]
On September 18, Clarett filed a guilty plea to the charges in a plea bargain that involved these events as well as the earlier robbery charges. He was sentenced by Judge David Fais to seven and a half years in prison, with the possibility to apply for early release after three and a half years. As part of the plea agreement, the prosecution agreed not to object to early release if and when Clarett applied for it.[33]
On December 14, it was announced that Clarett would be changing prisons to a close-security prison in a single person cell at Toledo Correctional Institution, where he was able to eat with and exercise with other inmates.[citation needed]
Clarett enrolled in a distance-learning program at Ohio University while serving his sentence at the Toledo Correctional Institution, working towards earning a bachelor's degree in Geriatrics and Gerontology.[34]
On April 7, 2010, Judge Fais granted early release to Clarett. Clarett was ordered to enter Maryhaven, a halfway house in Columbus, for up to 6 months.[35]
While in prison, Clarett blogged about his life there on The Mind of Maurice Clarett. Because he did not have Internet access in the prison, he sent his entries to his girlfriend, who posted them for him.
In one post, Clarett summed up his attitude towards prison by saying "Understand my struggle so you can respect my hustle. I am never coming back here, believe that. Never, I am cool on this. It is first-class living from the day I get out. I WILL NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS, EVER AGAIN. That goes for communication, personal relationships, housing, education, friendships, and travel arrangements. Everything. I have the fire in my eyes"[36]
In November 2012, Clarett was invited back to Ohio State to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the undefeated championship season of 2002.[37]
Having suffered from depression, Clarett joined other mental health advocates in August 2013 to promote expansion of Medicaid in Ohio.[6] He has spoken at prisons, juvenile detention facilities and worked with youth football camps to share his story so others do not repeat it. Clarett has also reconnected with Ohio State by taking courses and working out with current football players.
In December 2013, he was featured in Youngstown Boys, an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary which included extensive interviews with family, friends and associates.[38]
In February 2014, he was invited back to Ohio State University as part of a ceremony recognizing the National Championship team he played on. While there, he also spoke to an audience of more than 500 at the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom in the Ohio Union. He discussed past troubles and his ongoing rehabilitation and the restoration of his reputation.

Click the buttons below to learn more about Miss Gay America
Jessica Jade "About Miss Gay America………" In late 1972, in Nashville, TN (at The Watch Your Hat and Coat Saloon), Norman Jones (a/k/a Norma Kristie), was the first man to be crowned as Miss Gay America. Through the vision of Jerry Peak, the original owner of the Miss Gay America Pageant, Norman Jones, Miss Gay America Emeritus, not only desired to enhance the art of female illusion as a competitor but also to one day create his mark in history as promoter in the art form. After relinquishing reign as Miss Gay America 1973, Norman Jones purchased (in 1975) the Miss Gay America pageant, from original owner Jerry Peek, in hopes of one day growing the pageant system to be the most prestigious and most respected pageant for female impersonators in the world. Many thanks go to Jerry Peek, for his pioneer vision and effort in pageantry through the art of female impersonation, and to Norman Jones for his 30 years of dedication and desire to mold the Miss Gay America pageant in to the "best of the best". After many years of trial and tribulation, Norman Jones achieved this goal as the official Miss Gay America pageant continues today, to be the most prestigious, most well respected, the oldest and the largest pageant system for female impersonators in the country and world. Now owned by L & T Entertainment, whose home office is located in Nesbit, MS, the pageant continues to grow and is expected to become even greater and more prestigious, in years to follow. Known as the "Symbol of Excellence", each winner of the Miss Gay America system represents professionalism and the utmost of quality entertainment that the art of female impersonation has to offer. Many make attempt to win the title but few are chosen. This system is very similar in nature to the Miss America or Miss USA system, except that the contestants are men impersonating women. It is not easy to win this title as it takes much talent, creativity, glamour, elegance, sophistication and desire to entertain, to successfully create the illusion in which the judges will approve. With no body augmentation below the neck allowed, many contestants rely on breast pads, hip pads, flattering clothing, hairstyle and make-up to merge into a winning combination that will score high enough to become the nation's next Miss Gay America. With nearly thirty (and growing) direct State and Regional preliminary pageants to the Miss Gay America national competition, each year the winner and first alternate of each direct preliminary will travel to the National competition in hopes of achieving their goal of becoming the next Miss Gay America. Likewise many of the State pageants have direct preliminaries whereby the winner and first alternate of the "metropolitan" preliminary pageants will travel to the State contest, in effort to be the State's next Symbol of Excellence and to qualify for the national competition, in hopes to be crowned as the next Miss Gay America. Directors/owners of the preliminary pageants (franchises), purchase the franchise according to the rules and regulations as set forth by L & T Entertainment, as detailed in the promoters handbook. From the rules of the contest to the standardized required crown on the city and state/regional level, the system is well organized. Great pride comes with affiliation with such a high caliber of pageantry. The expectations of talent and beauty, combined with professionalism continue this pageant system, as it is known to be "the best of the best". While this pageant at first, was marketed exclusively for the gay community, people from all walks of life have grown to enjoy and admire the dedication and talent needed to be successful in this pageant system. People from the world over will travel to see this contest and its preliminaries each year. The owners (since 2005) of the pageant, L & T Entertainment, indicate that they will not change any of the criteria for entry into the system. "This system was founded on the fact that the men can continue to separate themselves from their on-stage female illusion without body augmentation and still project a believable female illusion", said Larry Tyger and Terry Eason, owners of the Miss Gay America pageant. In 2006, L & T Entertainment placed trademark on the slogan, "Miss Gay America…….Where the boys are boys and female impersonation is an art". While there are several other national pageant systems for female impersonation, the Miss Gay America system prides itself in that this is the oldest system of its kind and the other systems are merely "reproductions of the original thing". Each year at the national competition, the contestants complete four stressful days of competition. Categories of competition are talent, male interview, solo talent and evening gown. Then, on the final night, the contestants are narrowed to a "top 10" and these top ten finalist compete in talent, on-stage question and evening gown, with the male interview score and solo talent scores carried forward from preliminary competition. The Male Interview category validates the male persona in the contestants whereby contestants are interviewed in male business suit attire. Male Interview is the category to truly allow judges the opportunity to know the contestants and hear answers on a wide variety of topics. Talent and Solo Talent are designed to showcase the contestants ability to entertain and audience. Evening Gown displays the true elegance, glamour, sophistication and poise of the contestant. On-Stage Question allows the contestants show their ability to effectively and intelligently communicate with the audience. Each of the aforementioned categories are designed to produce a well rounded Miss Gay America that can lead by example. Contestants spend thousands of dollars each year in preparation for this contest including purchasing an evening gown, hiring dancers and making on-stage props to enhance talent. The winner receives a prize package including cash, jewelry and other gifts, plus other sponsorship packages including many engagements throughout the year of reign, including a mandatory appearance at each of the preliminaries for the next pageant season, which usually begins in early January, of the next year. The newly crowned Miss Gay America can earn as much as $70,000 during their reign as Miss Gay America, in cash, prizes, travel, appearance fees and gratuity for appearance. This combined with unlimited travel throughout this beautiful nation and prestige of holding such a respected title certainly makes all of the time, energy and money worthwhile. As many cities, including Dallas, St. Louis, Memphis, Columbus, Ohio were considered to host the national competition, L & T Entertainment (owned by Larry Tyger and Terry Eason) has made decision of Nashville, Tennessee as the host city for the Miss Gay America 2015 pageant (in mid October 2014). Persons, estimated near 5,000, from around the country are expected to attend the five day event. For more information, including photos of former Miss Gay America titleholders and recently qualified contestants, on this pageant system for female impersonators, log onto www.missgayamerica.com A Division of L & T Entertainment Miss Gay America………….

In just the one month, Sol3 Mio shifted more copies than any other album sold during the entirety of 2013. By year's end, it was the year's best-seller in NZ, outstripping even the efforts of Lorde. Considering Sol3 Mio had only dropped in November, it's some feat.
HONOLULU — Le Fetuao Samoan Language Center has purchased a brand new tech learning lab complete with iPads, laptops, a microphone and a keyboard. The purchase of the tech equipment was made possible through a language preservation and maintenance grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA).
Congratulations to Anosi Fuiava-Thomsen (left) of Faleasao, Manu'a and Samoa, Ethan Salatielu (middle) of Ofu, Manu'a and Fagaitua and Millennial Manu (right) of Faleniu, Aoloau and Masefau.

Miss American Samoa, Anneliese Fa'aitumalo Sword is representing the Territory in the Miss Pacific Islands pageant (formerly Miss South Pacific) taking place in Apia, Samoa this week. The pageant will be held this Friday (Samoa time) or Thursday (our time) at Gym 1 of the Tuana'imato Sports Complex. The theme for this year's pageant is "Our Pacific Paradise".
Fiji enjoys a rich cultural heritage with strong representations of Pacific island nations in the faces of those who now proudly call themselves Fijians. However one of the least known Pacific Island communities in Fiji is the Samoan settlement at Wailekutu, situated two kilometres from Lami Town. Fiji has many families with Samoan heritage, the likes of the Fraser, Samuels, Hughes, Hoeflichs and Miller clans while chiefly ties between the two countries have been in existence for centuries.
Another 'homegrown' product is making waves on the gridiron on the mainland. Sixteen-year-old Travis Sailo, from the village of Nu'uuuli is currently playing football in the state of Alabama for Sipsey Valley High School where he is in his junior year. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 240lbs, according to reports, he is making some colleges sit up and take notice.
Four police officers, including an inspector, have been suspended in Samoa as a result of an inquiry into a 3-year-old who was locked in jail with his father last Friday.
The father was taken into custody for driving an unlicensed vehicle, and his son, who was in the car at the time of the arrest, was also taken into police custody.
The acting Police Commissioner, Misa Talaimanu Keti, says an internal inquiry found there was a breach in the performance of police duties, especially by the suspended officers who had dealt with the matter.

Facing fears is a common theme among this week's new releases.
The Possession, Grade B: The film is proof a movie can be scary without having to resort to an onslaught of blood, guts and profanity that would earn it an R rating. Director Ole Bornedal gets the maximum chills from gloomy weather, a foreboding soundtrack, lighting trickery, decent special effects and acting performances that sell each startle. And it still comes in with a PG-13 rating.
It's shocking that the film was produced by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, who helped ramp up horror film violence with Evil Dead. The restraint they showed should open up Possession to a larger audience.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan continues to show his versatility. He's gone from the outlandish superhero Comedian in Watchmen to the suave nightclub owner in Magic City to this believable father. His performance helps make the film work.
Won't Back Down, Grade C: This feels like a Lifetime film that lacks clarity. It bounces through hot-button issues with such randomness that the central message ends up muddied. Buried under all of the distracting elements is a gem of an idea. But the numerous tangled plots leave this story of class struggle incomplete.
At the heart is the story of two mothers (Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal) who decide to transform their children's failing inner-city Pittsburgh school. They start the long bureaucratic process of taking over the school so they can run it, despite resistance from the faculty, administration, parents and the local teachers union.
Those actions would be enough for any film. But the script by Brin Hill and director Daniel Barnz piles on the emotional fodder with storylines about dyslexia, learning disorders, marital problems and poverty. In an effort to serve them all, none gets complete attention.
Men of a Certain Age: The Complete Second Season. Grade B-plus: The cable series looks at three average guys who wonder if their lives have been well spent. The focus is on males around the age of 50 but should reach viewers of all ages because of a first-rate cast and very smart writing.
It works because of the honest dialogue between these men. They don't suddenly know the meaning of life, but struggle just to get through another day. Those struggles are both funny and serious.
Ray Romano, Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher turn in first-rate performances.
Also new on DVD this week:
"Thomas & Friends: Muddy Matters": Thomas and his friends go on a messy adventure.
"Perry Mason: Season Eight, Volume Two": Raymond Burr continues his legal winning ways.

"Waking the Dead: The Complete Season Seven": Trevor Eve stars.

Scene After An Accident
Lost my car in some wild
Speeding and craziness.
What do I do if the brakes fail?
Survive. I think. I forget.
Now I'm walking on the road's soft shoulders.
Springtime and weeds talk country matters in the gravel,
Under the melted butter sun.
A snake, only as long as a pencil, green
As cooked spinach, glides over my bare left foot.
So gentle, but I am waiting for the panic
Frozen hard as solid silver
And waiting for the lethal flinch.
My nerves aren't steel, they're silver.
I wish someone was there to witness my luck, for I have
Often pointed out the X's on my palms
To friends and said, "See, I'm always protected."
They laughed. But luck comes from the gods;
If there were proof of it anywhere, it would be in my
Crossed palms.
Improbably, while sleeping,
I see the snake again-or is it a different spinach-coloured snake?
It's the same road.
It's the same me, walking along with a crab-apple bush
to lean on as a staff
(My brain is bad at props)
My spinach snake is being eaten
by a psychopathic serpant servant of ferocity
Who is the colour of lima beans, who has the same expression
-toothed and diacritical-
and narrow-eyed
as my biology teacher.
We are nowhere near a crossroads
And I have neither skill on the blues guitar,
To call forth the saviour of Robert Johnson,
Nor a straight staff to thrust between the devouring snakes,
Invoking the old thief.
Nothing to shut up snotty evolution
but X's in my palms,
and the bush of sour temptation, Eve's sour grapes
and a song that is my own and old enough.

E-book librarian
Organize and view your e-books with this basic program.
If you're big on reading you no doubt have your book collection displayed on a bookcase, maybe even with some semblance of organization. If you enjoy electronic books in addition to--or instead of--their paper counterparts, why not organize them as well? eLib is a basic program you can use to create collections of e-books for easy organization and viewing.
The program's interface is plain, with a tree view on the left that displays user-defined collections. Clicking on a collection allows you to view the contents either as a list or as a group of thumbnails. To view an e-book, simply select it and then switch to the internal viewer tab. The program also has a search feature, as well as a top books collection that automatically identifies the biggest, most read, and highest-rated books. eLib can be used to organize not only e-books, but also images, PDFs, and other file types. The program comes with a user guide that adequately explains its features. Overall, we liked eLib, although it's not perfect. Our biggest complaint is about how the collections operate. We assumed that when we created a new collection it would show up in the tree view in the My Collections folder, but that's not how it worked; instead, we had to select Open Collection from the File menu to switch collections. It seems odd to us that the program has a tree view that can't actually be used to organize things meaningfully. The program is able to create collections, but they don't operate in the expected--or most useful--way.
eLib installs a desktop icon without asking and leaves a folder behind upon removal.

Wow your good with words. Far better than most, like enchantress said very nice job. I'm a rookie role player lol.
I did twins, I hope that's okay:
Name: Saki Uchiha
Age: 15
Birthdate: February 29 celebrated on the 28 unless a leap year
Gender: male
Year: one
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Saki has long waist length black hair with bangs that hang on either side of his face, reaching his shoulders. His hair is always worn down. His eyes are a sky blue and he is 5'6'' in height. He is of a small build, only slightly bigger than his sister. He wears a long-sleeved blue shirt and blue jeans with white sneakers. His appearance has a feminine touch to it to where he can be mistaken as a girl.
Personality: Saki can be described as quiet, but not shy. He isn't afraid to speak his mind when annoyed at another person. He is usually in an exasperated mood due to his twin sister. He tries to help anyone he can in any way he can, and doesn't like to break the rules unless he has to. He isn't afraid of anything really unless it's getting in trouble. He is usually trying to keep his sister under control and clean up her messes she makes. He is curious in a safe way.
History: Saki grew up with his sister and mother; their father had left before the two were even born. Their family had very little money but their mother worked hard to take care of the two. Because of this Saki and Suki worked odd jobs around the city to help out their mother (Though they usually were fired due to Suki). The two were often bullied by other kids due to their living conditions and appearances. Saki was called weak, and a girl due to his smaller and more feminine size. This led him to wanting to battle, and raise different pokemon to be strong, whether they were like magikarp and tynamo or pokemon like bagon and shinx. When the two were fourteen they heard of Newfound Academy. Being the academy would give the two their first pokemon, and it would take the burden of caring for three off of their mother, they decided to attend.

Name: Suki Uchiha
Age: 15
Birthdate: February 29 celebrated on the 28 unless a leap year
Gender: female
Year: one
Sexuality: straight
Appearance: Suki has long waist length black hair with bangs that hang on either side of her face, reaching his shoulders. Her hair is usually worn down, but sometimes up. Her eyes are a sky blue and she is 5'6'' in height. She is of average build for a girl though not with the same curves as others. She wears a long-sleeved blue shirt and blue jean shorts with white sneakers. She can and is easily mistaken for her brother due to their likeness.
Personality: Suki is blunt and not afraid to state her opinion. She is forward and outgoing in a sense. This often gets her in trouble. She is very curious about many things, though not in a safe sense. She doesn't mind getting in trouble, and has a tendency to look down on others. Despite this she cares for others, both pokemon and human, and is always willing to lend a hand to help. She's not really afraid of anything and is often annoyed when her brother refuses to do something with her. She has a slight complex where she gets jealous if her brother ignores her for someone else, as she likes his attention on her due to their upbringing.
History: Suki grew up with her brother and mother; their father had left before the two were even born. Their family had very little money but their mother worked hard to take care of the two. Because of this Suki and Saki worked odd jobs around the city to help out their mother (Though they usually were fired due to Suki). The two were often bullied by other kids due to their living conditions and appearances. Suki was insulted for looking like her brother so much and called ugly often. This led her to wanting to participate in contests, and raise different pokemon to be beautiful whether they were something like stunfisk and feebas, to something like finneon, and beautifly. When the two were fourteen they heard of Newfound Academy. Being the academy would give the two their first pokemon, and it would take the burden of caring for three off of their mother, they decided to attend.

Fire House
Name: James Grande
Age: 23-years-old
Gender: Male
Birthdate: December 4th
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: James stands at a medium of 5'10", which is a moderate stature, and weighing around 150 pounds, he can be considered fit as he swims regularly. His hair is around an inch long and colored brown, although it can appear somewhat copper under the light of the Sun. It's usually ruffled around, but it's usually in the same forward fashion. His eyes are colored hazel; therefore his irises are, from the inside out, an arrangement of brown, yellow, orange and green tones. His skin is Caucasian, but he enjoys swimming, so his torso, arms and legs have a tanned tint to them.
His outfit for his teachings is a button up shirt with either a vest or a blazer, accompanied by corduroy pants with a belt that match his shirt, and moccasins for shoes.
When he's out with friends, or anywhere really, he's seen with a long-sleeved sweater with a hoodie which he enjoys thoroughly. Paired with dark-colored jeans and a pair of running sneakers, he could pass for a college graduate anyday.
Personality: From a distant, James appears to be a relaxed, down-to-Earth person, and this description fits him nicely as his way of life. He considers himself a realist, knowing that, even though things happen for a reason, they still happened, and people have to make do with what they have. From an intimate perspective, James can be considered a mischievous character, fun to be around with as he can have fun with whatever he's handed. On the other hand, when things get serious, James surely follows. He concentrates on the matter at hand, using all his knowledge to solve a given problem. Sadly, he can't handle much pressure, and when under said pressure, turning sour and mean to those around him whenever he can't get things to go as he wishes them to be. He doesn't realize this mannerism of his until calm, so his control over his attitude is rarely there, being dependent on the atmosphere around him.
James also suffers from a mild case of OCD ever since he was a child. Due to this he is often seen organizing shelves, organizing books in a certain order, or just simply cleaning around his classroom. Since he got his first Pokémon, he has subconsciously named them in alphabetical order, not realizing this until after he was all grown up. He's continued this fashion so he can keep a peace of mind, and because James finds it to be an interesting way to differentiate his partners.
Subject: Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, among others)
History: James grew up in the busy city of Jubilife in Sinnoh. His childhood was pretty normal, aside from the fact that he was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 4. This proved to be a difficult way of life for him, seeing as how his mother, who worked at a diner as a waitress, was always working around the home with different projects, therefore different things were always scattered around the house. James grew nervous around the messy house, so he was always locked up in his room, the one place where he could have things as he wished.
By his ten years of age, he was sent to a boarding school, paid by the government. There, he was always kept fed and grew plentiful in the ways of the teachings. For his fourteenth birthday, he received a gift from his father, who was always away from home due to his researching of recently discovered Pokémon. The gift, a pokéball, had inside a small pig-like Pokémon, whom he named Ardor. The Tepig and he grew up together, until James finally graduated and ready to take the first towards his career: Teaching.
Now a recently-graduated Biology professor, James applied to the Newfound Academy, and after a wait which seemed like decades, he was finally accepted.

Theme Song:Hot for Teacher, Van HalenYou're Only Human (Second Wind), Billy Joel
Extra: James was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), which means that he has the urge to check things more than the needed amount of times, make sure everything's clean and tidy, and organize everything possible, between other small tidbits and habits he could muster. Aside from this, he is also anosmic, which means he can't smell from birth, similar to blindness or the likes. He didn't feel like getting it checked nor fixed, since there's no doubt about it and he doesn't feel like he's missing much.

Name: Severin Haze
Age: 17
Birthdate: Oct. 17
Gender: Male
Year: One
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Severin has long, black bangs framing his face. He has slightly small, intimidating eyes, colored gray. His skin is a bit pale, and built with slight muscle tones. He's doesn't LOOK athletic, but can finish the job in gym class. His wardrobe consists of the colors gray, black, purple and red. Button up shirts with a tie are the norm for him, worn semi-casually. But, it's mostly a purple/red shirt with a black tie. He wears two diamond shaped earrings, similar to the diamonds on the back of a Seviper. Also, he wears two rings, one on each middle finger. They are etched with a Seviper across each one. Dark jeans are always part of his attire, along with black shoes. Severin has a habit of rolling his sleeves, and always wearing pants, regardless of temperature. The only exception is when it's cold, that's when he wears his black coat.
Personality: Severin always enjoyed seeing Poison-type Pokemon in the books his mother would show him. After being taught about Pokemon through texts his mother would get him, both on his birthday and Xmas, Severin just always had an attachment to Poison-type Pokemon, as well as attacks. Severin generally doesn't get along with people well, mostly because of his childhood friend betraying and leaving him. He can be very vengeful of made a fool of, or threatened. Severin always gets back at someone when someone does such to him, or to his mother. And when he pots, he plots. Severin usually looks at some of the books his mother gave him in his younger years. Also, Severin hasa thing for knives and daggers. He enjoys stories of the dark and macabre.
History: Severin, having been born to a divorced couple and absent father soon afterwards, had an early start into negative views on the world. He was only taught about how his mother saw the world, and much about Pokemon. Severin took to his studies seriously, as his mother loved and cared for him, knowing she was doing her best despite being an only mother. His mother, Sevreen, helped nurture his anger and spite, and shaped him into what he was destined to be. A model son, in her eyes. And despite that, he didn't care. He knew the truth behind his father. Sevreen and Severin's father had him at a young age, and the father promised to care for her, while secretly stealing and cheating her. As soon as she found out, she demanded he left and never be known to his son once he was born. Sevreen was a strong, confident woman with great charisma, and Severin looked up to be like her. She, like Severin, dressed in dark clothing. One day, Sevreen had learned of the Newfound Academy, and sent a letter to this academy in hopes he would be accepted, as she wanted only the best for him. Severin loves his mother, and cares for her as much as he can.
Hometown: Veilstone City
Future Career: Frontier Brain
Extra: Severin loves serpentine pokemon, and of course, Poison-type Pokemon. Severin also dabbled in sword-play a couple of years ago, and hasa bit of collection of daggers and knives. He enjoys reading about the disturbing and the macabre, and even writes every now and again. After hearing about powerful Frontier Brains from local news, he wanted to be one of the most powerful Frontier Brains in Sinnoh.

Name: Shinn Ferrer
Age: 25
Gender: male
Birthdate: September 25
Sexuality: straight
Appearance: Shinn has long black straight colored hair that goes down to his neck, his hair is combed in a way so that both of his eyes are left visible while most of the hair on his front falls on his forehead. He has a pair of red coloured eyes and white coloured skin. He also has fit athletic built and wears a short sleeved grey coloured shirt with the words "Fallen" written in black letters on his chest. He wears a pair of blue jeans along with chains attached to the pockets. He wears a silver coloured seal around his neck.
Personality: Shinn is not your normal teacher. Even though he's in his mid twenties he is anything but a mature person towards other as he still does whatever he feels like he wants to do. Shinn's rebellious and isn't below making sarcastic comments about others without a care. He likes to have fun and is always relaxed around others, though he can get quite serious if he is pushed past his limit. He's got a lot of problems with showing his emotions, something that has prohibitted from getting along with other people at a more close level. He's also a bit of a playboy which coupled with his distant behaviour pretty much makes any long term relationship non existent.
Subject: Breeding
History: Shinn was born in Celadon City to a family of three siblings. From a young age Shinn was always the rebelious one of his family and while he kept good relationships with his parents he was always adamant about following the orders that they gave him. Ever since he was young he had set as a goal to get out of his house and become a famous trainer that would show the world what he was really worth.
At the age of fourteen Shinn ran away from home so that he could go on his journey and it was here when he began to capture Pokemon and see the world. However, this didn't come without his share of trouble. Havin run out of money and food Shinn began to use his Pokemon to pickpocket food. He was eventually caught by the police and was sent back home where his parents really gave it to him. This didn't do much to get rid of Shinn's bad side though.
At the age of 21 after graduating College Shinn decided that he wanted to try to become a famous trainer once more. He was able to obtain all of the badges in Kanto but lost after only beating one member of the Elite 4. It was around this time that he found out about Newfound Academy. He decided that he would wait a while and keep training while also trying to teach others about his own experiences with Pokemon. When he first got to Newfound though he asked to be a Breeding teacher even though he knew nothing about Pokemon breeding causing Shinn to have to learn his own subject fast.
He's been teaching for a couple of years now and has started thinking about taking on the Elite 4 once more, however, whether he has taken a liking to the school or will leave remains to be seen.

learn something new every day
Alright let's see here – we've got leeches, holes getting drilled into skulls, people just getting legitimately tortured, and those burned as witches. It seems that over the centuries we haven't just dropped the ball with mental health care, but have been free-falling with it into a spiraling void while clumsy fumbling to catch it like the big dumb ol' barbarians we are. Some of those practices seemed more depraved than the people who supposedly needed them.
Thankfully though, we're doing a lot better now right? You'd like to think, but consider the fact that we only stopped giving people lobotomies 30 years ago. Although it has been refined and rebranded as ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), we are still shocking people and most medical professionals are under the consensus that it is safe. It may very well be, but it's not too far-fetched to think that fifty years from now it could be a cruel relic just like so many treatment methods before it. This isn't meant to be a paranoid revolt against modern medicine, but a reflection of how interesting it is that we put so much faith into science when the guys in starched white lab coats will forever be saying "Oh wait never mind that was so totally wrong, woops". Admitting that you're wrong is not only an inevitability of human nature, but a key part of progress. Embrace it!

The following Priority Notice was sent on Monday, Feb. 23 to inform Maine educators about the efforts of the Maine DOE to support the continued quality implementation of key initiatives that will improve teaching and learning in Maine, including the administration of new assessments, educator evaluation and the awarding of proficiency-based diplomas.
Dear Educators,
Welcome back from a well-deserved February break. As you know, in recent years the Department has successfully advocated for reforms that strengthen accountability, best practices and choice. The result is that our increasingly learner-centered schools will better prepare students for success in college, career and civic life.
Never before has more been expected of Maine students. The same could be said for our schools. Continue reading

New Year's Day Open House
We've thought of everything with our menu for a New Years Day open house from homemade cheese sticks and spinach-and-sour cream dip to salads, rolls, smoked meats, and dessert, we've got you covered. If you want to start the New Year off right, add some of these good luck foods to the menu, too.
Smoked Turkey and Boneless Ham with Two Sauces
Why choose between turkey and ham on New Year's Day when you can have both?
Chocolate Chip-Oatmeal Cookies
Revamped, these gems are still ooey-gooey good but they're only 80 calories each (with a gram of healthy fiber per cookie). They're a perfect holiday treats for kids and adults.

The Oscar nominee has been embroiled in a legal wrangle with his estranged wife Michelle Ghent since she filed for divorce in February, 2011 - days after the couple celebrated its first wedding anniversary.
She was granted a protective order against Howard in December (11) after claiming he hurt her during their short marriage, and on Tuesday (21Feb12) a judge ordered the actor to pay her $50,000 (£31,250) in temporary support.
But Howard is refusing to let the nasty split taint his search for love and he was spotted in "high spirits" at a pre-Oscars party in Hollywood on Tuesday evening with Taylor on his arm, according to the New York Daily News.
And the couple never left each other's side - a source tells the newspaper, "When she went somewhere, so did he."
Taylor featured in a 2009 episode of hit TV series Entourage and she had an uncredited role in Jim Carrey's The Truman Show.

My sister and I are looking for two rooms, anywhere East that is relatively close to shops, transport links and a green space. We love the Walthamstow/St James Street/Blackhorse Road area at the moment. We actually have a flat til the 15th of July, but are happy to move earlier if the right place comes up.
I work as a Content Manager at a digital agency and do illustration, media management for a spoken word organisation, photography and writing, and my sister is a full time author-illustrator working on children's picture books and various other illustration projects.
We're hoping to live in a place with a friendly, community feel about it. We are both London born and raised, but have between us lived in quite a few corners of the globe and have experience in lots of different flatshares. We're both easy going, creative and sociable, love the outdoors and going for long walks, as well as finding good places to dance in the evenings! We're just as happy socialising with the people we live with (sharing a meal or glass of wine, going out, watching a film) as we are staying in and working quietly on creative projects. In terms of rooms and flats we'd ideally like rooms with lots of light, and preferably double beds, but we'll consider other options if the flat, area and flatmates are great.

Ok, simple topic. Just searched, only one to pop up was "caption the image above" which is definitely different then this topic.
This topic is easy to play!
You just post an image(any image) as long as it's related in some form, way or how related or connected to the above image.
I'll be specific with the rules, for safe measure :)
Example: If I post a photo of Batman, you can post Catwoman, Robin, Joker, Superman etc. And keep the chain going. Crossovers are fine as well as realistic photos so even if someone post's a rock at some point, you can post The ROCK or even a primitive weapon made from rock. Anything you want as long as it's related or connected to the previous image in some shape or form. Also, if the photo has multiple characters in it, you can also respond with ANYTHING connected to it, not just one single character if you wish. If someone posts a movie or game, you can post another movie or game that's connected to it in some way.
P.S. Also if you can't find an image for whatever reason you CAN post just the word of whatever you're seeking.
Have fun!
I'll start:

Life insurance is an important part of a responsible financial plan, and can provide many benefits.
Life insurance can mean much more than making sure your loved ones are provided for and final expenses are paid. Some policies can cover you as you recover from a critical illness, protect a business, or provide funds you can use or borrow against for major life expenses.
At The Co-operators, we have life insurance products to provide coverage for all the stages of your life.
Funeral expenses and final taxes resulting from the ownership of high-value assets, like a seasonal property or investment portfolios, can be significant. A properly tailored insurance policy will cover funeral costs, final taxes and other expenses that your family may not be expecting.
Life insurance policies can provide for your loved ones in the event of your death. You can choose a plan that helps to offset your income so your family or loved one doesn't have to worry about how to maintain their current standard of living.
One of the great features of permanent life insurance plans is the potential for building up tax-advantaged cash values in your policy. These values can be used in conjunction with loans as financial instruments to supplement retirement planning, assist with a down payment on a property, start or expand a business, or provide long-term or home care when you retire. This equity in your life insurance policy is a versatile financial asset that you can use in many different ways.
Your local advisor can tell you even more about what you can do with a Co operators life insurance policy.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin, on the disabled list since May 29, will begin a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Charlotte.
Quentin, who had 36 home runs and 100 RBIs last season in his first year with Chicago, has been sidelined with plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition. He hasn't played since May 25.
Manager Ozzie Guillen said Friday that he hoped to get his slugging outfielder back shortly after the All-Star break, but was not certain.
Guillen said Quentin would be brought along slowly, playing three innings for Charlotte in his first game, then five innings the following game.

Purslow seeks new investment
02 Feb 2010 - 13:55:46
Managing director Christian Purslow has revealed that Liverpool's plans to build a new stadium depend on their ability to attract new investment into the club.
Co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett put work on the already downscaled 60,000-seater arena in Stanley Park on hold in 2008 after citing the global financial difficulties.
The site remains undeveloped and Purslow has admitted that the only way work will recommence is if the club can successfully attract fresh investment.
"When I arrived we agreed with the owners that we had to look for new investors," he explained.
"There are interested parties and I'd like to get it sorted out before the end of this season. Without investment there won't be a new stadium."
Meanwhile, Purslow insists the Reds will finish in the top four this season and qualify for the Champions League despite their on-pitch this struggles.
Speaking to Spanish newspaper AS, he declared: "We will be in the Champions League, for sure. We are not a selling club."

Cherry Almond Mini Scones (Vegan)
Total Time
10 minsCook
18 minsThese are some super yummy scones! My husband adores these and I almost regret getting him hooked because they are so tempting to me as well! Work quickly with the dough and try not to over work it so your scones stay light. This recipe comes from The Vegan Lunchbox. (You can also add chopped almonds to the mix if you have some on hand - yum!!)
Nutrition- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄4 cup nonhydrogenated margarine, cold
- 1⁄2 cup soymilk (almond milk works as well)
- 3⁄4 cup cherries, fresh or frozen, thawed, drained and chopped
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the margarine and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles a coarse, crumbly meal.
- Add the soymilk, cherries, and almond extract. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands until the mixture comes together to form a dough. You may need to add an extra tablespoon of soymilk if the mixture is too dry.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a flat round, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut each round into six equal wedges.
- Arrange the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of soymilk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges and bottom are golden. Serve warm or cover with dish towel until ready to serve.

Algeria hostage crisis brings world to North Africa's anti-Islamist fight (+video)
US confirms it deployed drones to monitor the fast-moving Algeria hostage crisis, which thrust Algeria onto center stage of the regional battle against radical Islamists.
Islamist militants' mass hostage-taking at a natural gas facility in southern Algeria remains murky, as do the Algerian military's efforts Thursday to free the captives, but one result of the violence is already clear: The episode expands the scope of the battle with Al Qaeda-affiliated Islamist extremists in North Africa.
The hostage crisis drags Algeria, a major oil and gas producer with a bloody history of fighting home-grown Islamist militants, onto center stage in the regional battle – a place it has tried to avoid in recent months.
And in part because of the large number of nationalities among the hostages, the international community is now involved in North Africa's anti-Islamist fight in a way that France's intervention last week in Algeria's neighbor Mali – an intervention designed to head off Mali's fall to radical Islamists – had not immediately provoked.
With reports Thursday afternoon that at least two of perhaps seven American hostages had escaped their captors and were on their way home, the United States was involved in the crisis both on the ground and diplomatically. Pentagon officials confirmed that the US had deployed unmanned drones to monitor and report on the fast-moving crisis, while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has kept informed through phone conversations Wednesday and Thursday with Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal.

Installation Instructions:
Sideload HomeCatcher, also make sure you have an Alternative Launcher installed ie. ADW, Launcher Pro, VTL.Launcher.
Here is the key as HomeCatcher is a Background Process it works in the background no need to even open the app itself, that part of the app is there for information purposes only.
After install the first time you press the (n) you are presented with a menu asking you to select which app to complete the action with one of the options will be HomeCatcher if you select HomeCatcher while also selecting "use as default" on that popup menu the next press of the (n) button will present you with a menu asking which Alternative Launcher you wish to use and also allows you to set that option as default.... the content of this popup depends on the alternative Launchers you have already installed, ex. ADW, VTL.Launcher, GoLauncher.
following setting both HomeCatcher as default and then your Alternative Launcher as default.
When you hit the (n) button depending on your setup first push brings up little bottom screen nook menu second push it should make it act like a normal home button taking you to your alternative launcher. Some setups may operate differently. Just uninstall the app to return n button to normal nook operation.
If you have any issues during install (ie. selecting the wrong option as default etc.) you can kind of reset those defaults with two actions. Number one. Uninstall HomeCatcher. Navigate to the Settings/Applications section and find all the alternative launcher apps you have installed and open each ones details page and if the Clear Defaults Button is clickable Click it... also do this for the Main Nook Home app. Once you have done this reboot your Nook Tablet and reinstall HomeCatcher... making sure to read and select appropriately each popup box when pressing the (n) button for the first few times.

Inspired by a large sign I saw on someone's front yard today...
Call comes in at oh-dark-thirty.
On arrival, you have flames showing from the single family residence, let's call room & contents and then some (i.e. it's extending).
Neighbors are there, but no one from the house is there to meet you in the yard...
And there's also a big 3' x 4' sign in the front of the house that reads,
"Attention Thieves:
This house is booby trapped."
(There was actually some more...but I couldn't read it all driving by!)
