Getting a Clear Vision for Central Kitsap's Community Campus
The public had its first chance to see proposed site plans for the Silverdale Community Campus this week, as representatives from the Rice Fergus Miller firm presented drawings during a Central Kitsap Community Council meeting.
This is the first time a site plan has been created for the property at the corner of Silverdale Way and Bucklin Hill Road, near the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office. Those involved hope the imminent master plan will provide momentum to get the project moving.
"For eight or nine years we've been working on this, and (Wednesday) night was the opportunity for people to actually see what the content could be," said former CKCC president Hank Mann-Sykes.
While Steven Rice and his firm have been involved with the community campus since 2001, it wasn't until a contract was approved by Kitsap County last year that the group created a realistic development concept for the 12-acre site.
Mann-Sykes and Rice credit former Central Kitsap Commissioner Patty Lent as the reason that plans moved forward. Mann-Sykes said newly elected CK Commissioner Josh Brown has shown the same enthusiasm.
The contract between the county and Rice Fergus Miller was only enough to pay for the initial plans, or to "get to first base," as Rice described it. Wednesday night's "unveiling" offered a glimpse of how the property could be developed.
"We just don't have the time and the allowances in this contract to get beyond the big picture," Rice said. "But it's really important we get to the big picture."
Another reason for the meeting was to gather community opinions to make sure the plans were in line with its needs. The focus is to keep the site pedestrian-friendly and to offer a community center for residents.
Because building sizes and other amenities haven't been determined, there is no way to provide a price tag for the project. But a rough estimate, based on the "wish list" of buildings, parking and open space, put overall costs in the ballpark of $50 to $100 million, Rice said.
Because of the cost, the project would be phased over 20 years or more and built through partnerships. Final design plans will also change as pieces come together, but Rice emphasized the importance of keeping a final product in mind to maintain continuity.
One thing the county can do now is establish partnerships. The Kitsap Regional Library, the Kitsap YMCA and the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority have already talked about being a part of the campus. Though nothing is set in stone, the housing authority and library board have been involved in talks about building a 30,000-to-35,000-square-foot building for the library, with senior housing above it.
"The impetus is the property is there, the library need is there and it could be imminent — depending on the library levy lid-lift decision — and the housing is wanting to be there," said CKCC president Jon Pearson. "It's time, it's needed."
Other proposed buildings could include a community center and a theater. Bill Walton, marketing director for the Kitsap YMCA, said he contacted one potential funding source to help build a site for the YMCA that they hope could include a lap pool.
The next step is for the architecture firm to establish a clear idea of how the site will be accessed, how parking will be handled, how the site will connect with the rest of the community, how the open space will be defined and how the development could be phased.
"One of the reasons why we're starting as we are is to get people who have been involved with this since the beginning on the same page," Rice said. "It's important to look at the campus as a whole and plan it as a whole."

So Obama and the Democrats should spend part of next week dispelling the five myths that have the potential to singe.
The conflagration in Congress is spreading to singe, if not consume, critical decisions across the board.
Old English sengan "to burn lightly, burn the edges" (of hair, wings, etc.), from Proto-Germanic *sangjanan (cf. Old Frisian of-sendza, Middle Dutch singhen, Dutch zengen, Old High German sengan, German sengen "to singe"). The root is said to be related to that of sing (v.), on the idea of some sort of sound produced by singeing (e.g. Century Dictionary), but Klein's sources reject this. Related: Singed; singeing. Singed cat "person whose appearance does not do him justice, person who is better than he looks" is from 1827.

Love it! By Lisa

This table and chairs is wonderful! My 19 month old can get on and off the chairs on her own and they are still big enough that she will be able to use it for several years. The color (espresso) is gorgeous, too. It blends into the room well and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. It was very easy to put together, too!
Very Beautiful - Just one or two flaws... By Susan Burke
December 5, 2009
On the plus side, it is very sturdy wood and a very beautiful finish - we got the cherry. And, it has a very nice surface area, our boys should get plenty of use.
On the negative side, some of the pre-drilled holes were too large. We needed to purchase some structural glue (gorilla glue) to make the connections. This was on two screws on each chair.
Another mild negative is that the table is a little wobbly. It is perfectly usable but one would like to think that for the money spent that it would be 100% stable.

A keepsake from Great-Grandparents... By Ashley Eby

We purchased this product as a gift for my son from his great-grandparents on his first birthday. They were both teachers and I thought this would be a perfect gift from them for him to treasure. Since he is only one, he doesn't really use it yet, but he loves to sit in the chair and smile like he's doing something big! It was SO easy to put together and came packaged very nicely. I love this desk and can't wait to see all the amazing things my son will do while sitting there!

The chais is perfect for our toddler and he is enjoying it too. Only comment is that the screw covers do not fit securely so we removed them. Our toddler tried to pull them out and put them in his mouth. I felt that gluing them in would not be a good idea as then we could not tighten the screws should that become necessary.
Beautiful table, excellent quality By Marie M

I needed a table and chair set that could accommodate my daughter who is turning 5 and is in 100 percentile for height!! Most of the sets on the market are too small, made more for toddlers. This set is beautiful to look at, sturdy, the quality is first rate, and a screwdriver and allen wrench (provided) is all you need to put it together. Storage space under table, and still plenty of room for my daughters beautiful long legs!! I know she will love this set and cherish it as her own personal space!

It was definitely not planned on my part. I got on the road before 6am from SMdeA. Crossed the border at Columbia around 4pm and couldn't find a hotel so ended up riding all the way to your house and got there just after 7pm. It was a long day and I don't really care to do it again.
I am heading down again in a few weeks. Plan to spend 5 weeks south of the border. Will spend some more time in Zipolite and maybe even get to Palenque and San Cris this time.

Q&A on collecting
Vintage locket unlocks four photos
Q: I have enclosed a photo of an opened gold locket. When folded closed, the cover has a black and white cameo, and behind each photo case are the words and number "Coro -- Pat. No. 2545267." The locket is in mint condition. Is there any value to this piece of jewelry, and if so, where can it be sold?
A: You have a goldtone, vintage folding locket. Emmanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger founded their jewelry company in New York in 1900. In 1943, they combined the first two letters of their last names to form the name Coro. They were one of the leading makers of costume jewelry. In 1969, they sold 51 percent of their stock and begin a financial decline. They were forced into bankruptcy and sold to another company that also filled bankruptcy. It was all over by 1979. The Patent number "2545267" was issued around 1950. Vintage Coro costume jewelry is highly collectible. You could sell it on the Internet, Craigslist or by placing an ad in a local paper. Similar Coro folding lockets can be found selling in the range of $75 to $125.
Q: The mark seen in this photo is on the bottom of each dish in my dessert set. The set includes six cups, six saucers, six dessert plates, a serving plate, a cream pitcher and a sugar bowl. They are decorated with blue flowers and green leaves against a white background. Each piece is trimmed in gold. What can you tell me about my dessert set?

Several private security experts also spoke about the necessity of such machines.
"The TSA, to me, gives credible assurances that that isn't going to happen," said Cathal "Irish" Flynn, a former FAA associate administrator for security who now runs his own consulting firm. "Could there be mistakes? Yes, I suppose so. But as I listen to them, they seem determined not to let that happen."
John DiScala, a blogger known as Johnny Jet, said the TSA should take note of this release and be careful.
"They need to realize if this was them, heads would roll. They need to do everything in their power -- and I mean everything -- to prevent this from happening," DiScala said. "There's already a grassroots effort to ban these machines when just a year ago almost everybody wanted them. It just shows how many people are comfortable with their bodies or being touched. It's a real fine line and they've only got one shot at this."
The full-body scanners, formally known as Advanced Imaging Technology, provide security screeners with what are essentially nude images of travelers. To ensure privacy, the TSA says, faces are blurred and the images are deleted once the TSA officer determines that the passenger is not a threat. The person viewing the images is in a remote location and communicates with the on-site officer via radio.
Passengers worried that their nude photos may end up on the Internet (or concerned about the radiation from the scanners) can opt to bypass the machines. But those travelers then must undergo a more-intrusive search, including the new patdown procedure in which a same-gender TSA agent touches the inside of passengers' inner thighs and women's breasts.
That new patdown alone has generated controversy as passengers, and even some pilots, have equated it with sexual assault. Pilot unions started to advise their members to have the patdown done in private.
Then, over the weekend, a 31-year-old software programmer was thrown out of San Diego International Airport after he got into an argument with a TSA screener about the new, more aggressive patdown.
"If you touch my junk, I'm going to have you arrested," John Tyner told the male screener. Tyner recorded audio of the whole 30-minute incident with the TSA on his cell phone's video camera, a video that has now had hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube and been replayed on major television stations.
Despite the controversy, security experts say such searches are necessary to protect travelers.
"The patdown is unavoidably intrusive, embarrassing, uncomfortable, but it's an unfortunate price of security these days to keep the components of bombs off planes," Flynn said. "It's a dangerous world, and the probability of an attack on flights on any given day are extremely low, but the results of one such attack by the terrorists can be of course catastrophic."
"The patdowns in my option are necessary," said Jim Welna, who served as the chief of police at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport for 17 years and spent four years working for the TSA. "It's a very thorough search, but there isn't an alternative to it given how the current system works. The current system treats everybody as an equal threat."

It's a sad love story in Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen." Something tragic has left a pink haired Ellie on a rocky beach searching to piece back the broken fragments of whatever has happened to her. Filled with sadness, a teary eyed Ellie sings, "After the war we said we'd fight together." When her lover appears he's bloody and bruised, which leads to Ellie's own nose bleed. As she looks over her deceased lover she reflects back to the accident. The car crash has left both of them injured, but more than the physical injuries the collision is a metaphor for their dying love.
The waves that were once moving forward now move backward. Ellie stands on top of the car attached to a rope while her presumably dead lover slouches over in the car. Her nose bleeds again. She descends from the sky to take away her beau who is now standing tall with a bloody face. If like the song says, "But I don't think I need you," there has to be a less tragic way to end a love that is no more.

Keen cyclist, 65, died after 'small mishap'
Published at 11:06, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A MILLOM cyclist died in circumstances that in "99 times out of 100" would have left him with scrapes and bruises.
Thomas Norman Barrow, 65, died whilst cycling near Tarn Hows in Coniston on the evening of December 14 last year.
At an inquest at Barrow Town Hall on Wednesday last week, coroner Ian Smith issued a ruling of accidental death. He said: "It was a small mishap which can happen to anybody and that, in 99 times out of a hundred, would have led to a few scrapes and bruises, but in this case led to something much more serious."
The inquest heard from pathologist Dr Marek Witkowski, who said Mr Barrow, of Hallthwaites near Millom, had died from inhaling the contents of his stomach.
Peter Stewart Turner said he saw Mr Barrow, who was his friend for 25 years, go over the handlebars of his bike.
He said: "His bike was between his legs, slightly over to one side, and he was face down exactly where he landed.
"He didn't move at all. We moved the bike, first thing, from where he landed. We were just talking to him, expecting him to get back up but got no reaction at all."
Mr Turner said the group had been travelling between three and four miles an hour.
The other man in the party, John Leece, said he made his way to a nearby cottage to get help as there was no mobile phone reception in the area.
He said although it was dark, they went out several times in the weeks before and had lights on their bikes.
Mr Leece said he alerted the emergency services from the cottage, but initially had problems getting the call handler to identify where the accident had happened.
He travelled back to the scene of the accident where Mr Barrow was still not moving, and said the emergency services arrived around an hour after the accident.
Mr Smith said the amount of time it took for the paramedic to arrive had not been a factor in Mr Barrow's death, and recorded a verdict of accidental death.
A statement issued by the Barrow family after the inquest said: "He loved to ride his bikes and eventually died doing what he loved.
"He will be sorely missed by his family."

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/9/12
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Ben McLemore had nine points, 12 rebounds and five assists in his Kansas debut, and the seventh-ranked Jayhawks pulled away from pesky Southeast Missouri State for a 74-55 season-opening victory Friday night. Jeff Withey finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and freshman Perry Ellis added 15 points and eight boards for the Jayhawks, who have won 40 straight season openers at Allen Fieldhouse. This one was a bit tougher than expected. The Redhawks managed to close within six midway through the second half, but Kansas slowly extended the lead behind its slew of freshmen to put the game away. Nick Niemczyk finished with 14 points for the Redhawks, who have lost seven straight season openers, all on the road, and remain winless in six tries against Big 12 schools.

Flat screen TV in rooms, they even a certain amount of free long distance calling. They have guest laundry which was really awesome as my mother and I had to stay there for 5 days. Lots of pillows, comfortable beds, swimming pool, fitness room. I loved the number of electrical outlets they had. There are like 3 or 4 restaurants right around it, so you are not stranded. They serve popcorn and soda from 3 to 10 pm. This hotel is really like a well kept surprise, you go not expecting much and then get pleasantly surprised at all that it offers. They even have a small pantry in the lobby where you can go anytime and buy little eatables or necessities you might need. I really loved this hotel and will always look for one wherever I travel. The staff was amazing too. When I went last minute and asked for a disabled room instead of the regular room I had booked, they obliged and also extended a day without any fuss. They knew I had to leave my mother alone for few hours and they made sure they kept a lookout for her wellbeing. Really unexpected and amazing. ...

text: This page covers the (mostly) recurring minor characters of ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.----[[foldercontrol]][[folder:In General]]* ADayInTheLimelight: Many of them get one or more episodes in TheNineties anime series where they play a major role.* AscendedExtra: Several have a larger role in first season of TheNineties anime and/or in the live-action than in the manga.* AdaptedOut: Almost all of them in the musicals, and several of them the live-action as well.* BadassNormal[=/=]HeroicBystander: Despite having no Sailor powers, there are several instances where a civilian chooses to stand up to enemy attacks instead of doing nothing.* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: By the final season, you hardly even see any recurring civilians.* DemotedToExtra: Even though the civilian cast get a larger role in TheNineties anime, their roles are diminished after the first season as the series focuses more and more on the Sailor Guardians.* DamselInDistress[=/=]DistressedDude: So many of them end up as the victim of the week on at least one occasion.* DesignatedVictim: It's amazing how often the villains' target happens to be someone the Sailor Guardians know. Some are victimized more than others, though.* InnocentBystander: Even when they're not the intended victim, they tend to get caught up in things just by being in the area.* {{Muggles}}: The non-superpowered friends and families of the Sailor Guardians.[[/folder]][[folder:Naru Osaka]]!!'''Naru Osaka'''->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShinoKakinuma (original series), Creator/SatomiSato (''Crystal'') (JP), Mary Long ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/DanielleJudovits (under Danielle Nicole) (Viz) (EN), Cristina Camargo ([=LatAm=]), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Chieco Kawabe[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/osakanaru_4028.gif]]----* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The dynamic with Nephrite and Naru in TheNineties anime. Naru knows he isn't a good person and is aware that he has tried to use her, particularly since he tells her as much. Yet she admits to a worried Usagi that she can't help loving him. Then Nephrite turns out to not be a monster... [[RedemptionEqualsDeath only to die in her arms]].* AscendedExtra: In the first season of TheNineties anime and the live-action, she has a bigger role than in the manga.* BadassNormal: Despite how often she gets targeted by the villains, Naru has quite a number of achievements listed in the "Moments of Awesome" page.* BetaCouple[=/=]OfficialCouple: In TheNineties anime with [[spoiler:Umino]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Usagi's blonde and Yumiko and Kuri's brunettes.* BreakTheCutie: The deal with [[spoiler: Nephrite]] sends her into an HeroicBSOD and it takes her a while to get better.* DamselInDistress[=/=]DesignatedVictim: She needs to be saved from a MonsterOfTheWeek attack fairly regularly.* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the end of the Alien arc of season R. And she and Umino were ''still'' luckier than Yumiko and Kuri, who never made it past the original series. Averted in the live-action. It's as if she knew that she was gonna be replaced as Usagi's BFF and struggled not to let that happen.* {{Expy}}: Of Hikaru from ''Manga/CodenameSailorV''. Both are the MuggleBestFriend of the main character.* FieryRedhead: Subverted, she's more of TheCutie, though she ''did'' have two or three moments.* HairDecorations: Her green hairbow, especially in her school uniform. She sometimes changes color hairbows, depending on her wardrobe like a red hairbow as you can see a bit from the picture. * HeroicBystander: In both the first series and S, trying to get the energy-sucking plant out of [[spoiler: Nephrite]] despite being affected by them herself and then trying to protect [[spoiler: Umino]] from a MonsterOfTheWeek which was after his Pure Heart.* KansaiRegionalAccent: {{Lampshaded}} by her last name. It becomes a Brooklyn accent in the original English dub.* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know of Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon, though [[spoiler: she ''may'' have [[SecretKeeper become aware of it]] in the R season. At the very least, she knows she is part of something important and that Usagi doesn't want Naru to ask what. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Which Naru accepts]].]]* MoralityPet: In TheNineties anime, she becomes one for [[spoiler: Nephrite, triggering his RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]* MuggleBestFriend: To Usagi.* SecondLove: For [[spoiler:Umino]].* SecretSecretKeeper: It is heavily implied during R/the Black Moon arc that Naru had figured out Usagi's identity as Sailor Moon since she knows that Usagi is part of something unusual and important, but that Usagi doesn't want her to ask about it, so she complies as to not put pressure on her. * SpoiledSweet: According to the first episode of ''Crystal'', Naru is intelligent, popular, and has wealthy parents, and she's nice and down to Earth.* ThoseTwoGuys: She and Umino become this after the other Sailor Senshi start showing up.* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Usagi's tomboy, despite Usagi not being ''that'' boyish.* {{Tsundere}}: Very light Type B, towards [[spoiler: Umino]].* UnfazedEveryman: Being best friends with Sailor Moon and a victim or witness of so many attacks, she has become this regarding the Sailor Senshi and youma.* WeirdnessMagnet[[/folder]][[folder:Gurio Umino]]!!'''Gurio Umino'''->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KeiichiNanba (original series), Daiki Yamashita (''Crystal'') (JP), Roland Parliament ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/BenDiskin (Viz) (EN), Isabel Wolmar (PT)[[quoteright:160:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/-melvin_5347.jpg]]----* AdaptationDyeJob: Both anime series give him brown hair. It's blonde in the manga.* AdaptedOut: In the live-action.* BeautifulAllAlong: According to WordOfGod, he is a {{bishonen}} without his glasses.* BetaCouple[=/=]OfficialCouple: In TheNineties anime with [[spoiler:Naru]], once they get their RelationshipUpgrade.* {{Bishonen}}: [[TakeOurWordForIt Take]] [[WordOfGod God's]] [[TakeOurWordForIt Word for It]]* BrainyBrunette: In the anime.* TheChewToy* CrazyJealousGuy: After he starts dating [[spoiler:Naru]], he acts this way about her to a mild extent.* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the end of the first season/first episodes of R.* DistressedDude* DoggedNiceGuy: For Usagi. By the time he falls for [[spoiler: Naru]] though, he [[CharacterDevelopment drops the most annoying traits.]]* DrowningMySorrows: Parodied in ''Super S'', when he attempts it with milk shakes. Chibi-Usa's grossed out face says all.* {{Expy}}: In the forerunner series, ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', Minako had an otaku pal named Amano who is identical to him, though Amano is much more proactive and able to aide Sailor V on several occasions.** He has an in-universe example as he is the [[GenderFlip Gender-Flipped]] {{Body Double}} of Princess D.* ExtravertedNerd* HeroicBystander: In both the first series and ''S'', he tries to defend Naru from a MonsterOfTheWeek. The second time, the monster was specifically targetting ''him''.* InnocentlyInsensitive: For example, when Usagi and Umino went to visit Naru after [[spoiler: after Nephrite's death]], Umino casually said, "I thought you didn't go to school because you were sick, but I see it was just heartbreak," resulting in Usagi hitting him. Once they gone out, he didn't take (or didn't seem anyway) into consideration Naru's feelings. Later on however, he hinted to have felt bad because of this trope. Thanks to CharacterDevelopment, he became a bit less of this trope later on.** In the same scene, he tried to comfort Naru... by mentioning [[spoiler: Nephrite's disappearance.]]* KnowNothingKnowItAll * LastNameBasis: Umino is his surname, but that's what everyone calls him.* NerdGlasses* TheOneGuy: Of Usagi's circle of friends at the start of the series.* {{Otaku}}: He's called this several times by other characters.* PluckyComicRelief* SecondLove: For [[spoiler: Naru]]. Who also was ''his'' second love, since Umino had a crush on Usagi at first.* TeenGenius: So much that he is unhappy when he only gets a 95 on a test.* ThoseTwoGuys: He and Naru become this after the other Sailor Senshi start showing up.* UnfazedEveryman: To a somewhat lesser extent than Naru.[[/folder]][[folder: The Tsukino family]]* GenderEqualEnsemble: Two females (Usagi and Ikuko) and two males (Shingo and Kenji). Later subverted when Chibiusa comes along, and even more so when Kenji stops appearing.* NuclearFamily* ThemeNaming: Usagi's family is named after (and based on) Naoko Takeuchi's real-life family.!!'''Shingo Tsukino'''->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (original series), Seira Ryu (''Crystal'') (JP), Julie Lemieux ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Nicolas Roye (Viz) (EN), Rogério Jacques (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Naoki Takeshi[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a_shingo_8459.gif]]----* AdaptationDyeJob: In TheNineties anime, his hair is light brown. ''Crystal'' keeps it blonde like the manga, though, so he and Usagi have more of a family resemblance in that series.* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Can slip into this sometimes, [[GenreSavvy and don't think he won't if it works to his advantage]].* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Milder version. He ''can be'' annoying and nagging, but otherwise is less whiny than other kids like him. Mostly because his sister is more than whiny enough for the both of them and it's often [[InvertedTrope him who's exasperated with her]]. He provides the trope image for a good reason, though.* ArtEvolution[=/=]IGotBigger: One of the few characters to visibly ''age'' in TheNineties anime. The first season drew him the way most children appear in anime. In later appearances he looks more (appropriately) like a preteen and has had something of a growth spurt. This was probably done to make him look older than Chibi-Usa but still younger than Usagi.* AscendedExtra: Somewhat in TheNineties anime, where he appears in many episodes and gets multiple [[ADayInTheLimelight days in the limelight]].* BigBrotherInstinct: Stands up for Chibiusa when Usagi picks on her. He also tries to protect girls he cares about from enemy attacks.* BrainyBrunette: In TheNineties anime.* BrilliantButLazy: Gets good grades with zero effort and spends the rest of his time playing video games, reading comics, and messing with his sister.* BrutalHonesty: Generally he will speak his mind or tell it like it is, and can be pretty tactless about it. Usually at Usagi's expense.* DeadpanSnarker: He often walks away with some of the best lines when he shows up.* DemotedToExtra: Ever since the first season/first episodes of R.* [[LovesMyAlterEgo Fanboys My Alter Ego]]: More exactly, he's a Sailor Moon fanboy.* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Usagi's foolish.* HeroicBystander: For a preteen, Shingo has some serious cojones. Aside from his brief fear of cats, he rarely loses his head when he ends up in the middle of weirdness Usagi attracts, and once even tried to fight a villain head on to protect Ami, buying enough time for the rest of the Sailor Senshi to find them.* InsufferableGenius: He's a great student, his sister is a BookDumb [[TheDitz Ditz]] and he won't let her forget it.* InTheNameOfTheMoon: A somewhat parody of one where he imitates the Sailor Senshi at a virtual reality arcade, calling himself "Sneakers Shingo" ("Super Sammy" in the English dub) and even quoting Sailor Moon's phrase "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be snarky and ruffle Usagi's feathers, but don't think that he doesn't care about his family and friends.** JerkassFacade: Certain materials suggest that he's hard on Usagi simply because that's just his ''job'' as her little brother, and he's trying to toughen her up to not be such a crybaby.* PlatonicLifePartners: With TheNineties anime-only character Mika. They're childhood best friends with a lot affection, but ShipTease aside, there's no actual romance between them and it irks Shingo when people think there is.* ThePrankster: Towards Usagi.* PrecociousCrush: Has a huge crush on Ami in one episode of TheNineties anime.* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is terrified of cats in TheNineties anime, due to an traumatic incident when he was a toddler. As a result, a whole first season episode is dedicated to Usagi trying to get Luna in his good graces, [[CompressedVice and after that it's never mentioned again.]]--------!!'''Ikuko Tsukino'''->'''Voiced by''': Sanae Takagi (original series), Creator/YukoMizutani (''Crystal'') (JP), Barbara Radecki ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/TaraPlatt (Viz) (EN), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Kaori Moriwaka[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ikuko_exam_9275.gif]]----* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair in the manga is either bright pink or bluish-purple. Both anime series settled on the latter.* BlindIdiotTranslation: In the re-released manga, Kenji and Ikuko refer to each other as ''papa'' and ''mama''. To be fair, in some older anime and manga, parents refer to each other not by their names but by their positions in the family (i.e., Kyo's parents in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: KYO'' and Haruto's parents in HauntedJunction.) The joke went LostInTranslation.* EducationMama: While nowhere near as bad as Minako's mother in ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', to the point that Minako lists her "hag of a mom" as one of her dislikes, she's still this, and it's a JustifiedTrope when you remember how completely unmotivated Usagi is when it comes to school work; of course Ikuko's going to be mad when her eldest daughter is always bringing home 35s and 20s on her tests.* GoodParents: She and Kenji don't have a big role, but they are portrayed as typical loving parents to their children.* HappilyMarried* HouseWife* MuggleFosterParents: Averted. Usagi was reincarnated, so the Tsukinos are her biological family.* OpenMindedParent: In relationship subjects.* ParentsInDistress: Was attacked by Hawk's Eye in Super S.* SecretSecretKeeper: The manga drops a hint of this towards the end. When Usagi leaves (to battle Sailor Galaxia, but obviously she can't say that), Ikuko says that she has a feeling that Usagi may not come back, as she looks up to the sky cradling Luna in her arms.* SexlessMarriage: She and her husband sleep in separate beds.* UnnamedParent: Canadian dubs only, where she is merely identified as "Serena's mom". Later subverted when the Cloverway dub once refers to her as Ikuko.* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Averted, as she is one of the only supporting characters to appear throughout all five major arcs. Though in ''Sailor Moon S'', she only appeared in the manga, not the anime.* YamatoNadeshiko: Though more tempery than the standard, she is hinted to have Kenji-papa ''very'' whipped in TheNineties anime.* YouGottaHaveBlueHair--------!!'''Kenji Tsukino'''->'''Voiced by''': Yuuji Machi (original series), Creator/MitsuakiMadono (''Crystal'') (JP), David Huband ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/KeithSilverstein (Viz) (EN), António Semedo (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Ryuuta Tasaki[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kenji_5648.gif]]----* BlindIdiotTranslation: Mild version: In the recently re-released manga, Kenji and Ikuko refer to each other as ''papa'' and ''mama'' (although sometimes TruthInTelevision as once they become parents couples may often find themselves calling each another "Mom" and "Dad" or some variation).* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Although Usagi's entire family was DemotedToExtra, her mother and brother still made token appearances later in the series, but her father's last appearance was only in the second season.* GoodParents: He and Ikuko don't have a big role, but they are portrayed as typical loving parents to their children.* HappilyMarried* HenpeckedHusband: In TheNineties anime, by his own admission.* HeroicBystander: In the HotSpringsEpisode when the Tsukinos are on vacation, he attempts to defend his family against the MonsterOfTheWeek.* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Live-action ''only''; even has his face obscured by a camera at [[spoiler: Usagi's wedding]].* {{Megane}}* MuggleFosterParents: Averted. Usagi was reincarnated, so the Tsukinos are her biological family.* NotSoDifferent: Initially suspicious of Mamoru, but some comments imply he was very similar in his youth. It might be that this is what ''actually'' bothers him.* OverprotectiveDad: He nearly drives off the road on learning that Usagi is dating. And this is ''before'' he learns of the age difference.* PapaWolf: The few times he was under attack, he immediately leapt to his family's defense.* SexlessMarriage: He and his wife sleep in separate beds.* TallDarkAndHandsome* UnnamedParent: Canadian dubs only, where he is merely identified as "Serena's dad".[[/folder]][[folder:Haruna Sakurada]]!!'''Haruna Sakurada'''->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (original series), Creator/AkemiKanda (''Crystal'') (JP), Nadine Rabinovitch ([=DiC=] and Cloverway), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (under Cricket Brown) (Viz) (EN), Cristina Cavalinhos (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Tomoko Otakara[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haruna_8715.gif]]----* AdaptedOut: {{Averted|Trope}} in all adaptations (even the musicals), making her the only civilian to appear in every version of the series.* AscendedExtra: When you think about it, she had a much bigger role early in TheNineties anime than in the manga. Then after the Alien Arc of R, she was PutOnABus. She has a valid reason for disappearing once the girls moved on to 9th grade.* BrainyBrunette: Light brown in the Crystal anime and she ''is'' a teacher, after all.* ButtMonkey: A frequent youma victim alongside Naru. And even beyond that, there's the incident where she thinks she is DefiledForever.* ChristmasCake: And ''how''.* DamselInDistress[=/=]DesignatedVictim: Like Naru, she was a frequent victim of attacks by the Dark Kingdom during the first season. Her obsession with finding a husband made her an easy target.* DefiledForever: This is what she believes when the second episode of TheNineties anime had Umino (under a monster's influence) flip her skirt up revealing her smiley face panties. She started crying that she wouldn't be able to get married now.* FieryRedhead: Has auburn hair in the 90s anime with a temper to match.* FirstNameBasis: Her students call her Haruna-sensei. The first English dub switched it to make Haruna her last name, though.* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The above incident revealed a smiley face on it.* PantyShot: See DefiledForever.* RapunzelHair* SenseiChan: Frequently acts young for her age and engages in doing rather childish things.* SternTeacher: Was very exigent towards Usagi, but genuinely cared for her and her friends.* TeamMom* TemporalThemeNaming: Meta-example. Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's other series ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', ''Manga/TheCherryProject'' and ''P.Q. Angels'' have characters named Natsuna Sakurada, Akina Sakurada and Fuyuna Sakurada. Collectively, they are named after the four seasons.* YouLookFamiliar: Her sister was Chieri's teacher in Naoko's previous manga ''TheCherryProject''. In addition, Chiyoko Kawashima, who voices Haruna, also voices Sailor Pluto and Shingo Tsukino.[[/folder]][[folder:The Furuhatas]]!!'''Motoki Furuhata'''->'''Voiced by''': Hiroyuki Satou (original series), Creator/HiroshiOkamoto (''Crystal'') (JP), Colin O'Meara ([=DiC=]), Steven Bednarski (Cloverway), Creator/LucienDodge (Viz) (EN), Rogério Jacques (PT)->'''Portrayed in ''PGSM'' by''': Masaya Kikawada[[quoteright:221:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/motoki_704.jpg]]----* AscendedExtra: A bit, in the live-action. [[spoiler: He even gets to propose to Makoto in that continuity]].* BlindIdiotTranslation: In the recently re-released manga, Motoki's nickname is translated as 'bro'. This gets incredibly awkward later on, when Makoto refers to him as 'the bro at the Game Center.' Uhh....* ChubbyChaser: Somewhat. In the anime he told Usagi he found chubby girls cute. She saw this as an excuse to stop dieting and go back to her regular eating habits, until Luna clarified that he said "chubby", not "fat".* GreenEyes* IWillWaitForYou: When Reika decides to go to study in Africa, he decides to wait for her for as long as she is gone. The second time she leaves for ten years and he is ''still'' willing to wait.* LikeBrotherAndSister: Despite Makoto and Usagi's crushes on him, it is established that they are only younger sisters to him (except in the live-action, where Makoto is his love interest).* MenCantKeepHouse: His apartment is in a terrible state.* MuggleBestFriend: In the live-action to Mamoru, as well as being Makoto's Muggle Love Interest.* NiceGuy* OfficialCouple: With Reika in the anime and manga, or with Makoto in the live-action.* SatelliteCharacter* SecretKeeper: In the manga and the live-action.* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Mamoru's Manly Man.* TheyDo: [[spoiler: He and Makoto in Special Act of the Live Action version]].* TrashOfTheTitans: His apartment, in TheNineties anime.* TurtlePower: In the live-action, he has a pet turtle named Kamekichi and seems to be generally obsessed with them, owning lots of turtle-themed accessories and bonding with other turtle owners.--------!!'''Unazuki Furuhata'''->'''Voiced by''': Miyako Endou and Creator/ErikoHara (JP), Sabrina Grdevich ([=DiC=]), Catherine Disher (Cloverway) (EN), Isabel Wolmar (PT)[[quoteright:144:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unazuki_4588.gif]]----* AscendedExtra: Slightly in the fourth season of TheNineties anime where she appeared the most often, unlike other civilians who appeared ''less'' often later in the series.* BookDumb: In the Materials collection, it is revealed that her grades are below average and she does not like to study.* CoolBigSis: To Usagi.* FirstKiss: Her ADayInTheLimelight episode, in the S series, was centered on how she and her boyfriend had not even kissed...* GenkiGirl* HairDecorations: Her yellow hair ribbon.* MistakenForCheating: Subverted in R. Mamoru once gave her a ride in his motorbike because she was late to a date with her boyfriend; Usagi saw them and thought Unazuki was his new girlfriend.

In the materials collection, she has strawberry pink hair, but in further colored manga artwork, she's blonde.* AdaptedOut: In the live-action.* AdventurerArchaeologist: Her work, in the anime.* ArtShift: In TheNineties anime, her eyes had a distinctively different appearance from the rest of the cast. That changed when she returned in season four.* CoolBigSis * EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: In the manga, Reika was really into gemstones, as she studies mineralogy at KO University. While she doesn't drape herself in jewels, she does wear rather stylish earrings and necklaces tastefully.

Average rainfall in metro Atlanta is about an inch above normal, according to weather officials.The National Weather Service Forecast Office tells a similar story for metropolitan cities around the state, which continues to experience drought-free weather conditions. "We have been out of drought for about 11 months," said Pam Knox, Georgia's assistant state climatologist. The water supply in reservoirs throughout metro Atlanta continues to be ample, according to Mike Leary, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "We don't have any sign of a drought right now," Leary said. "Since the first of January, we're about an inch ahead [for precipitation]." The National Weather Service reported rainfall amounts in metro Atlanta totaled 5.38 inches for the month of January, compared to 2.88 inches in January 2009. The January 2010 total is about 0.35 inches higher than the 30-year average for the Atlanta area. Leary said last week's winter storm, which delivered 3.6 inches of snow to the Southern Crescent on Feb. 12, added about 0.6 inches to this year's rain totals. He said area residents should expect continued sunshine and cool weather through the weekend. "We're going to be sunny and dry through Sunday, with a 40-percent chance of rain Sunday," Leary said. There is "a 50-percent chance of rain on Monday, tapering off to a 20-percent chance of rain on Monday night. Then, it's going to be mostly sunny and dry through Wednesday," he said.

For Bollywood actor Zayed Khan, who is trained in scuba diving, shooting underwater scenes for his forthcoming venture 'Blue' was no big deal. But he faced a real challenge when he had to swim around sharks in the thriller.
'Just the idea of swimming around with these unpredictable beasts (sharks) was difficult. We always had our trainers and divers around,' Zayed told IANS.
'Blue', a big budget underwater action adventure shot extensively in the Bahamas and Thailand, is Anthony D'Souza's directorial debut. Being made at a whopping Rs.1.29 billion budget, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif.
Zayed Khan, Blue" src="/bollywood/images/uploads/zayed_blue_1.jpg" align="right" border="" vspace="5" hspace="5">'Blue' is said to be the first Indian film to have been extensively shot underwater with a screen time of 20-25 minutes and with real sharks, almost 40 in number.
For Zayed, shooting these action sequences was a real adventure.
'When you train as a student, you go till a maximum of 35-40 feet. But when we trained for the film, we had to dive down to 85-90 feet deep enough to get actual shots of weed and sunken ships. It was scary,' Zayed said.
But the director used adequate safety measures while filming the risky shots, says Zayed.
'We were always surrounded with safety divers and all of them used to be at a distance of not more than 10 metres while the shot was being taken. There were 20 other divers around doing something or the other, so we were secured.
'Trainers instructed us not to keep long hair and not to colour them blonde as sharks get attracted to white. Then they told us that we shouldn't have any cuts on our body and if at all we had any, we should bandage it well. So when we went down, it was always with a lot of baggage in our head,' Zayed said.
For Zayed, the real heroes were the stuntmen, who accompanied the actors under water and ensured that the shooting goes on smoothly.
'The stuntmen made it look so easy. They have a way of dealing with fear. There were times when they first made me touch the sharks and slowly got me to do the fight sequences. But it was all done very carefully,' he said.
Zayed also recollected how stuntmen used to sometimes ask him about his favourite song and he used to hear them through an apparatus fixed in his ear under the water.
'Once I told them I wanted to listen to Eminem songs. In seconds, I could hear it and I believe all the stuntmen and divers could hear it on their apparatus too because they started dancing. It was such a surreal scene. I thought I was walking on the moon,' he said.
Produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd, 'Blue' is scheduled for release next year May 29.
