Mar 22, 2013This record is fun, it's exuberant, and it's diverse--and yet nothing sounds unnatural or feels crowbarred in.
Mar 18, 2013They've returned with their most thought provoking, strange and sexiest record yet.
Mar 25, 2013Comedown Machine is, essentially, The Strokes' 1980s album.
Mar 25, 2013The deeply uncool Comedown Machine smacks of effort.... Still, the limitations of Comedown Machine's protracted diversity all come back to Casablancas, a man with wide range as a listener and extremely narrow range as a musician.
Mar 25, 2013Comedown Machine remains a pretty good album, possibly the least characteristic thing they've released to date.
Mar 26, 2013The Strokes' hallmarks--those lean melodies, that steely interplay among guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. and bassist Nikolai Fraiture, the urgency of Julian Casablancas's vocals--are largely absent on Comedown Machine, their fifth studio album. In their place is a looseness that's refreshing enough, until you realize these guys are perhaps running short on ideas.
The GuardianMar 21, 2013For the most part, this sounds like a band running low on ideas, or motivation, or the indefinable magic that makes a band a band.
Score distribution:
Positive: 33 out of 42
Mixed: 7 out of 42
Negative: 2 out of 42

I stay impressed with The Strokes, totally different from their previous Albums, and believe you me not a bad thing; Tracks like "Tap Out" "All The Time" 'One way Trigger" Even, "Welcome to Japan" Yes, I am telling you this Album is good very different but so damn good, Although, all of my friends are not happy with it, I still recommend it to you. And that is just half of the songs, the reason why you might have problems liking this album could be the fact that Julian keeps his voice higher in some of these songs, something we are not used to. "80 's Comedown Machine" almost made me cry by far, my Favorite from the Album. "Slow Animals" and "Chances" two more songs that prove this Album is Fantastic and The Strokes have not lost their touch. The last track, something completely different yet, I find myself relaxing and loving it just as much... Don't be so quick to dismiss this album, it is definately worth a second chance... Again, I recommend this to you.… Expand

Mar 26, 2013"Comedown Machine" can't even hold a light up to the classic "Is This It".. yet it manages to be the best album since the very good "Room on"Comedown Machine" can't even hold a light up to the classic "Is This It".. yet it manages to be the best album since the very good "Room on Fire". While the best tracks "First Impressions of Earth' and "Angles" eclipse any on "Comedown Machine" (see You Only Live Once, Heart in a Cage, Undercover of Darkness, Taken for a Fool, Machu Piccu and Gratisfaction being the best from album 3&4), Comedown Machine manages to be a better more complete album as a whole, partially because there are no extreme low moments like FIoE and Angles had (see practically every other song on FIoE, You're So Right, Metabolism being the worst from 3&4).
This album, unlike the last two, is decisive on a style, and even if its unlike the great style we heard on Is This It, they made a plan and worked with it. It's a lot of fun, with some great songs mixed in with a lot of pretty good ones. (Great ones= Call it Fate Call it Karma, One Way Trigger, 80's Comedown Machine). Don't expect to have your mind blown.. hopefully that comes next time. Solid 7.5… Expand
Apr 4, 2014Comedown Machine kind of continues on from where Angles left off, moving further away from the classic Strokes sound yet still containingComedown Machine kind of continues on from where Angles left off, moving further away from the classic Strokes sound yet still containing enough elements to allow to recognise the band at the helm. Lead single "One Way Trigger" is one of the bands stranger singles and at times is unrecongisable as The Strokes with a guitar sound disguised with A-Ha type synth sounds. While it lacks a classic tracks such as "Under cover of Darkness", Comedown Machine is every bit as good an album as Angles, both of which fall well short of the stands set by the bands first 2 records but equally far exceed the bands lazy and jaded third album. Comedown Machine shows a little of invention and adventure which at this stage of the bands career is vital in order to keep anyones interest alive.… Expand

But I decided to giveI've heard a lot about this band and their supposedly amazing debut, but I haven't got around to listening to it yet. But I decided to give their latest release a try, seeing as it could well be the group's last album. Well, if that's the case, they're not going out with a bang. This is one of the weirdest albums I've ever heard barely audible voices, awful vocals, lyrics I can't make head or tail of, and a bunch of odd noises that send me reeling. It seems like something thrown together for a joke. The lead single, All The Time, is practically a crime against music. The only decent song is closing track, Call It Fate, Call It Karma, which is a beautiful ballad and a glimpse into what the album could have been. I've heard a lot of fans say that their debut was their opus and they slowly declined from there, so I'm surprised that most of them seem satisfied with this. I expected more effort from a final album.… Expand

Annoying If I want to make my younger sister play this I can but the worst part is that it's English and my sister would also start speaking wrong english.And I don't like playing a mini game to cross the level.
Annoyed Thought there was more levels. !!! I feel anoyed when you have to play the mini-games to get to the next level. You might have to do 3 mini-games because you night pick the wrong chest!!!
zeya khan its really a nice game I like it nd it doesn't take time to download... it s a very nice aap nd I play with my husband....that must be a joke but we play its really nice..... I love this aap...
Nice game but..... I like this this game but to unlock next level we have to play a mini game if we got nice number then we have to choose a chest and if we choose wrong chest then we again have to repeat it. If you have not put the chest in the game I would give 5 stars not 3 stars.
Annoying The game is good but I feel so annoyed when i have to do a mini game to go to the next stage. Please remove that..
Mini games I love the game and all....but why do we have to play mini games?? And what I hate the most is that when you win a mini game you have to pick a treasure box and get a key, but I never get the keys, I've played every mini game and nothing. Please fix the mini games! •~•

I made this recipe 2 ways. As written here and then a gluten-free version using Pamela's baking mix. I made my scones smaller so each batch had 14. Both were excellent!!
I doubled the spices as suggested by Chef Nadindin. Followed many of her suggestions as well. Very tender and moist. Prepped from beginning to end in a food processor. A great treat with a hot cop of coffee or tea! Thanks for posting Rachel-Snachel!
Really tasty! Super easy. I subbed the spices for pumpkin pie spices (I was baking with toddlers, so simpler is better). I also added 1/2 teaspoon of maple flavor to the spice glaze. I get tired of the flavor of straight powdered sugar. I think both glazes together are delicious and wouldn't skip them. They're a tender, light scone with a nice aftertaste, even.
These come out much more of a muffin texture than a scone. Good flavor. The icing makes about 4 times more than you need...cut it down significantly!!!
These scones were delicious, not dry at all. I did bake them on a stone cookie sheet so I think that helped. I also mixed up the spiced glaze using the leftover first glaze by just mixing in the spices. Excellent dipped in my coffee and so easy to make!
Turned out tender and flaky, just like Starbucks! I didn't even glaze them and they were wonderful.
Very easy and tasty for breakfast item. Dough is very very sticky. I just floured my hands and it worked perfectly. They brown quickly on bottom. I used middle rack and they were med dark brown .( I will try top rack next time as viewer noted ). Scones definitely not dry and were more like a muffin consistency. I made 12 but next time will make them smaller so they will be more like a 2 bite product
Absoletly wonderful!!!
My daughter loved them, I thought they were good. I doubled the spices and I wish I could have figured out how to double the pumpkin, but they would have gotten too gooey. They made my house smell wonderful, and I will definitely make them again. Thanks!
These were excellent! I used a scone pan and the result was perfect. The spice glaze is a must. I don't have an exceptionally sweet tooth so I might consider skipping the white glaze next time. DH does love sweets though so we will see!

4th painting that ive bought and I am very happy with it. It was bigger than i thought t would be and I love it! it looks great on my wall. Love the eclectic mix of colours and the detail. Also it didnt come wrapped up in bubble film and that is a blessing, for the other paintings that arrived to gibraltar I had the problem that the paint stuck a bit to the wrap possible from the heat and humidity we have in my country. Speedy and good customer service from them every time.

The track's title is an abbreviation for "Lower East Side," and the video features various people and couples captured from several nights in the Manhattan district. The track is featured on Camp, which is available now via iTunes.

text: Spent one night in this hotel and have no complaints. Excellent location, accessible to many restaurants, shopping, sites, etc. Subway on the corner. Rooms were clean and updated and quiet; did not hear any other guests, just some elevator traffic. Also, very spacious room for a NYC hotel; I actually enjoyed spending some downtime in the room in between activities, which is a rarity for a NYC hotel - usually the rooms are so cramped, I don't even want to spend time in them, but I liked the hotel so much, I looked forward to having a break and sitting in the chaise lounge, using the free wi-fi and ordering a glass of wine from room service. High celiings made the room appear even more spacious and the bed was comfy. Staff was great and friendly and responsive when we needed our shower worked on (it needed a bit of repair, nbd). Small TV but I never even turned it on; who needs TV when you are in NYC? Free breakfast was decent, but again, not going to eat hotel food when I am in NY (I just grabbed a cup of coffee and a croissant to tide me over). MP3/iPod or iPhone can plug into alarm clock for music and they had free wi-fi. For the price, you cannot do better. We took the train, so I can't speak to the parking situation or any of that, nor did we eat in the restaurant. They accommodated early check-in (1pm) and held our bags for our entire second day in NY without problem. I highly recommend and will stay here again!

I currently have about 37K of private student loans serviced by Sallie Mae. I was on a rate reduction program for a while, but now my loans are about to go back to 9-10% APR. I'm really considering cosolidating next year once all my scores should be above 700. Has anyone has any success in doing so?
I'd like to know what are some lenders to consider? I thought about cuStudentLoans since they showed up in searches.
Would an inconventional route possibly work? e.g. a personal loan from a CU, Lending Tree, etc?
Thanks ST. I'll look into SunTrust. I believe WF wouldn't be able to give me a decent rate.
I looked into consolidating last August. I decided that WF looked the best because there was no origination fee and they had the lowest rates. At that point I had about 39k in private loans and 50k more in federal loans. I was making 55k a year and living with my parents trying to pay down my loans (I'm down to about 75k total now). I also had a FICO score of around 770, based on the letter they sent (I'm not sure of the exact number). I was told that I needed a cosigner. When I called back to tell them that a cosigner wasn't an option, I asked to talk to someone in the underwriting dept. I was told that this was not allowed and got nowhere with them. I got so fed up with getting zero real answers from anyone at WF, that I just decided to let the application expire. The whole experience really turned me off of WF.
My experience with Wells Fargo trying to consolidate was just as ridiculous as the other guy. No matter what you say they want a co-signer. At the time I was making about $30k with a 17k loan with them and I was just trying to add in about 4-5k to it. Very fustrating, I'm just glad the majority of my student loans are federal.
No way I'm getting a cosigner involved in this. I don't see why you would not qualify without one.
I did come across this program called SoFi, but my school isn't eligible. Maybe it will help one of you guys.
07-05-2013 07:32 AM - edited 07-05-2013 07:33 AM
Thanks yellowcake. So it looks like my scores will have to be well north of 700 to get a refi without a cosigner. Hopefully by next year I'll be there.
Good luck in paying down your loans.
Forgive me for bumping this old thread, but a year later, I'd be interested in hearing how and whether any of you have made progress consolidating. As my scores come close to 700, I'm finally considering doing this.
Also, I'm curious to hear, Simply827, whether the Sallie Mae "rate reduction program" worked for you, and whether there're any adverse credit consequences of going into it. My loans with them are current, but I understand you can still join the RRP if you tell them you're only barely able to make payments and in danger of not being able to, etc. etc.
I'm in the process of consolidating a few small private loans. The bulk of my loans are federal and I consolidated those five years ago, but I still have about $15,000 on two private loans.
So far, the best options appear to be SoFi and Darien Rowayton Bank, but they both have limitations. For SoFi, you have to have gone to a school on their list. For DRB, you have to have earned one of a short list of degrees (from their website: MBA, Law, Medical/Dental (post-residency), Physician Assistant, Advanced Degree Nursing, Pharmacist, and Engineering graduate programs). As it happens, I qualify for both, so I've applied to both, passed the credit check on both, and I'm waiting to see which offers the better deal. The interest rates are pretty competitive.
Anyway, hope you're able to take advantage of one of those.

Surviving a Storm
by Judy
Just thought I'd write about my personal experience coping with Hurricane Andrew. I know it's not the same as what has recently happened, because at least we could blame it on the weather, and we did have some time to prepare for it. But I find myself remembering those times as I see what people in NYC and Washington and Pennsylvania are coping with.
What I remember most was how giving and thoughtful people were. Many were complete strangers. I had 3 children at the time and was able to have my ex-husband take the 2 older kids, so this helped.
What I can suggest is to let others help as much as they can. There is so much to worry about (filing insurance claims, do I have a job?, no electricity or running water, getting food at temporary army camp sites and finding a way to get there...) We all (the people in my neighborhood, and my family) helped each other out by cooking, watching each other's kids, having a shoulder to cry on.
I also kept a journal every night, and some time later, typed it up and gave copies out to all those who had been involved with my particular situation. It was my way of saying thanks to them. I read it about a year ago, and it still brought tears to my eyes.
I know for those who have lost someone, there is a void that will be hard to fill. It will take some time to get past the grieving, healing and eventual acceptance of what has happened. But it will happen, and get any help that is offered. Therapy can come in many ways. Everyone is grieving now in America and elsewhere. But look at the ways so many people are trying to help. I guess to sum it all up, I'd just like to say believe it or not, my experience with that disaster was one I'm glad I experienced, and I believe it allowed me to grow in ways I never would have if this had not happened.
"United We Stand" is a feature containing recollections and suggestions for surviving in turbulent times. If you have a story that could help save time or money please send it by email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "United" as the subject.

Stage names are a pretty good invention in general. If you're born Norma Jean but want to be a glamorous movie star, you dye your hair blond and become Marilyn. If you're born David McMahon and want to write music and make fun DVDs for kids, you've have to get a new moniker...and quick. And, sure, choosing the right stage name can be a challenge, but when it's kids you want to appeal to, it's somewhat easier. Step one: Pick a random farm animal. Step two: Make it your last name. Step three: Win an Emmy. At least, that's how it went when UNT graduate David McMahon became David Chicken, Emmy Award-winning artist and entertainer of young'uns. Take the kiddies to see the Chicken in action at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lakewood Theater, 1825 Abrams Parkway. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit davidchicken.com.

Defense leads LSU to victory against Auburn
AUBURN, Ala. -- Les Miles said he can use a hard-fought win over Auburn as "a tremendous lesson" for an LSU team more accustomed to lopsided victories.
Lesson No. 1: Defense still wins in the Southeastern Conference.
Sam Montgomery and the LSU defense delivered a first-quarter safety and shut out Auburn in the second half to give the second-ranked Tigers a 12-10 victory Saturday night.
Auburn led 10-9 at halftime but finished with only 183 yards -- 86 rushing and 97 passing.
"We were tested and we answered the call," Miles said.
A fumbled punt return by Auburn's Quan Bray set up Drew Alleman's 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter that gave LSU (4-0, 1-0 SEC) a 12-10 lead. Alleman missed a 34-yarder with 39 seconds remaining.
Auburn (1-3, 0-2 SEC) managed only one first down after Alleman's miss. Kiehl Frazier's final pass was intercepted by Tharold Simon as the game ended.
"We didn't finish," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "There will be a day when we will. We will continue to grind and work until we can."
Montgomery led the defense with a career-high 3 1/2 tackles for losses and challenged the team at halftime to "play like I play."
"I believe that during times of adversity, the older, veteran players have to get everybody's heads on straight to lead and go and play for the victory," said Montgomery, a junior.
Montgomery called the close win "a shock to our system."
"It was some of the younger guys' first time on the road and not knowing what to expect," Montgomery said. "A couple of veteran guys hadn't been in that situation in a long time. It was really a shock to our whole program, but we adjusted. We stuck our backs up."
LSU's only touchdown came on a 1-yard run by Michael Ford in the first quarter.
Miles called his team's performance "not perfect."
"It's something we'll certainly be able to teach from in a very aggressive manner," Miles said. "There's work to do, but we'll take a victory on the road at Auburn."
The win gave LSU its sixth straight 4-0 start and extended its streak of regular-season wins to 17, the longest in the nation.
LSU's Zach Mettenberger had two first-half fumbles but threw a 33-yard pass to running back Spencer Ware on a key third down late in the game.
"That pretty much sealed the game for the most part, or at least it got it down to the wire," Chizik said.
Montgomery tackled Tre Mason in the end zone midway through the first quarter and Ford's 1-yard TD run four minutes later made it 9-0 LSU.
Onterrio McCalebb scored Auburn's touchdown on 4-yard run on the last play of the first quarter to make it 9-7 and from there it was nothing but field goals and defense.
McCalebb was held to 24 yards on 11 carries.
LSU outscored its first three opponents 145-31, but its conference opener was a much bigger challenge. LSU was favored by almost three touchdowns. The Tigers ran for 182 yards -- almost 100 yards below its SEC-leading average.
"I'm very proud of the defensive strides we made," Chizik said. "Do we have a long way to go? Absolutely."
Ware, who was only fifth on the team with 38 yards rushing through three games, led LSU with 16 carries for 90 yards. Kenny Hilliard had 10 carries for 40 yards.
LSU held the ball for 11 plays on its opening drive, moving to the Auburn 2 before Auburn defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker recovered Mettenberger's fumbled snap. LSU center P.J. Lonergan left with a leg injury earlier in the series, and the fumble came on the snap from backup center Elliott Porter.
"I made a couple of mistakes early on, but I think this win really showed the character of this team," said Mettenberger, who completed 15 of 26 passes for 169 yards.
"I think I handled the pressure well."
Lonergan returned on LSU's next possession.
Auburn had a false-start penalty on its first play after the turnover, pushing the Tigers back to their 1, setting up Montgomery's tackle of Mason for the safety.
LSU appeared to be in total control when Ford's scoring run capped a 59-yard drive.
Mettenberger's second lost fumble, caused by Corey Lemonier's hit, shifted the momentum to Auburn. Angelo Blackson recovered for Auburn at the LSU 26. Mason's 26-yard run set up McCalebb's 4-yard touchdown run.
Cody Parkey's 40-yard field goal late in the half gave Auburn the 10-9 halftime lead.
"We fought our tails off," said Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen, who had five catches for 29 yards. "Defense played really well. Offense didn't."
Frazier completed 13 of 22 passes for 97 yards with two interceptions.
Chizik said he had "a very heavy heart" after learning a student assistant died. An Auburn spokesman said the student was Joe Bagwell, 23, of Huntsville, Ala. Bagwell was in his first season as a student coach after working as a student trainer in 2011.
Chizik said the death was not expected. He provided no further details.
"It's very tragic, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family," Chizik said.

Marty McFly and Doc Would Be Proud Of The Green Energy Machine (video)
Before you think I've gone mad and started featuring pictures of Semis, keep reading because I think this will pique your interest. IST Energy, a company based out of Waltham, MA (right next to my hometown) has invented a machine that can turn every day waste (except glass and metal) into reusable energy. The Green Energy Machine uses a process called gasification, which convert about 95% of waste – up to 3 tons a day – into reusable energy. Based on 3 tons of banana peels and paper, the Green Energy Machine can provide enough 'heat and electricity' for a 200,000 square foot building containing up to 500 people a day. Sick!
The Green Energy Machines costs about $850,000, which the company calculates will be recouped in 3 to 4 years by not paying for trash removal and power off the grid.
Now they just need Jack Lalanne to endorse the friggin' thing with is God awful bushy eye brows.

Foot surgery will cost Duke's Marshall Plumlee 3-4 months
With the lack of post players Duke has on its roster next season, Marshall Plumlee will be counted on for quality minutes.
The redshirt freshman has hit a snag in his development, though, as the Blue Devils announced that Plumlee will undergo surgery on his left foot. He will miss three to four months.
Plumlee missed the first nine games of this past season with a stress fracture in his left foot.
"Marshall was having a very good preseason before suffering the injury last year," Duke coach Krzyzewski said in a statement on Tuesday. "The injury set him back, but we expect him to make a full recovery and be a key contributor for us next season."
Plumlee, a 6-foot-11 center, played sparingly this season, scoring two points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 50 total minutes.
However, Duke doesn't have much inside depth for 2013-14. Rotation players Josh Hairston and Amile Jefferson are the most experienced frontcourt guys coming back, and neither played more than 13 minutes per game. As a result, Plumlee will need to provide some time off the bench.
The perimeter group for Duke is absolutely loaded, with Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon returning as starters, and the additions of freshman star Jabari Parker and Mississippi State transfer Rodney Hood. Throw in backup point guard Tyler Thornton, redshirt shooter Andre Dawkins and freshmen Matt Jones and Semi Ojeleye -- not to mention sophomore Alex Murphy -- and Krzyzewski will have one of the deepest perimeters in the country.
Duke went 30-6 last season, losing in the Elite Eight to eventual national champion Louisville.

Century-Old Scotch Pulled From Frozen Crate
The crate was recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It's been thawing gradually at a museum in New Zealand. Researchers found 11 carefully wrapped bottles of Mackinlay's Scotch whisky inside. Master blenders will to try to duplicate the original recipe.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
Whiskey connoisseurs won't ever get a chance to taste a vintage that was trapped in Antarctic ice for more than a century. Liquid was heard sloshing in bottles of whiskey, when earlier this year, a crate, frozen solid, was pulled from the hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. The whiskey from the 1890s won't be actually opened, but samples will be extracted through the cork, to see if master brewers can duplicate the antique scotch.

Editor's note: This post is a Care2 favorite. It was originally published on September 2, 2011. Enjoy!
A Catholic school student who identifies herself by the avatar name "Nekochan" started an unofficial library of banned books that she runs out of her locker at school. She began to lend books to her classmates when her school banned a long list of classic titles, including The Canterbury Tales, Paradise Lost and Animal Farm.
Concerned about getting in trouble for violating school rules, Nekochan wrote a letter to an online advice column to ask if it was "ok to run an illegal library" from her locker.
Nekochan wrote about the recent book ban: "I was absolutely appalled, because a huge number of the books were classics and others that are my favorites. One of my personal favorites, The Catcher in the Rye, was on the list, so I decided to bring it to school to see if I would really get in trouble. Well… I did but not too much. Then (surprise!) a boy in my English class asked if he could borrow the book because he heard it was very good AND it was banned! This happened a lot and my locker got to overflowing with banned books, so I decided to put the unoccupied locker next to me to a good use. I now have 62 books in that locker, about half of what was on the list."
I understand the appeal of reading banned books because they are banned. When I was eleven, I bought a banned books poster at a school book fair and proceeded to read each of the titles on the poster, crossing each one out as I went. It still hangs on the wall of my childhood bedroom.
Books are banned for many reasons, but in a lot of cases, such as Nekochan's, the complaint originates in religion. Amelia T.'s Care2 post discusses the case of a public school that banned books for "contradicting the Bible." In that case, only one member of the school board had read all of the books under consideration for banishment. Books are often banned by school boards whose only knowledge of the books is a brief, out-of-context quotation.
Nekochan recognizes the risk that she could get in trouble for supplying her classmates with banned books, but she believes that she is in the right. "Before I started [the library], almost no kid at school but myself took an active interest in reading! Now not only are all the kids reading the banned books, but go out of their way to read anything they can get their hands on. So I'm doing a good thing, right?"
I hope that this brave student can keep her contraband library a secret from the authority figures at her school. The thrill of a "secret" library is surely driving her classmates to read the very books that their teachers and parents do not want them to have access to. Her violation of school policy is in the spirit of bigger and better things — literature, freedom and the eternal fight against censorship. Well done, Nekochan.

I say, "Thank you, Nekochan for helping your fellow students get a chance to read some interesting books."
Even though the books were banned, the kids could have found them on the internet. But, sometimes it's nice to hold a book in your hands.
Really, spam for a "term paper mill." That is disgusting.
Everyone, please flag this piece of crap spammer!
Well some books can harm your kid. Of course today they can find almost any kind of literature on the internet so it is pretty much useless to forbid them read certain books. Most likely it will encourage them to find other ways and learn about this literature. However, if your children are smart, let them read as much as they want. They won't even need to get college paper help later if you do your best boosting their early education. You just have to explain them that not everything they read should be taken seriously.
I think this actually may be a clever move of the school to "ban" a lot of books to drive children into reading them. It may be a good way to prevent semi-illiteracy. ;) Don't you think this may be the case? ;)
Good for her!
To be perfectly honest I find this very amusing. Sounds like something I would have been involved in when I was her age. I had a very happy, healthy, vibrant childhood I am very happy to say!
Nothing makes a book more attractive to a kid than to ban it. Makes you wonder why these idiots even try, especially considering what they do and don't ban.
It's great that she thought through this first. Whether or not rules backs up an action, it's always important to think through what you're doing, the consequences, if you're capable of handling said consequences, and how you'll carry out your actions. I really appreciate that she's not doing just to be a rebel, but because she genuinely enjoys literature, and wants to share it! Keep at it girl!
As a side note, maybe other schools having difficulty engaging their student body in reading can try out this method of reverse psychology. :P
Good for her!

Why don't YOU ask HIM out? Seriously, make a move on him by picking out a restaurant, bowling alley or the like and invite him on a day you're both off.
I read that part. I'm saying ask him out again with specific plans in mind, instead of "we should hang out again" which sounds non-committal. Taking the time to plan a date shows interest on your part and that you're taking him seriously, even if you're both busy and have other things going in your lives. Even with the sick parent, tell him that you've made xyz plans on xyz day and if that doesn't fit with his schedule, which day would work better? Be open to mixing it up, but make the move over

Thanks! I I did go out there to meet other men, which is not that difficult as men do approach me quite often. I know it needs more time than a week for a real difference to be had. What bothers me now is that I found out recently that other co-workers know about me and him. Not sure how it is perceived by them, whether they think there is something between us, or that we just like each other, but I didn't know that it was that obvious that I like him, or what he's actually telling them.
I'm sure he's not saying anything that's not actually happening, but I don't like the idea of being the subject of workplace gossip. I know I ran that risk as soon as I started reciprocating his advances, but I couldn't help it at the time. That made me somewhat embarrassed and angry at the same time. I played it cool in front of everyone and stayed professional at work, but with him I might have been passive aggressive, and tried to avoid him as much as possible. My emotion took over my logic.

It was only fitting that the Bruins coaching staff opted to lump Ryan Spooner, Jordan Caron and Nick Johnson onto the same forward line for Monday night's preseason game against the Washington Capitals.
Those three forwards are competing with each other for a chance at the spare forward spot on the 22-man NHL roster for the Boston Bruins, and have lasted deep into training camp as others had disappeared around them. Craig Cunningham was another name shipped back to the AHL following Monday night's game, and that leaves 17 forwards in camp for 13 roster spots.
Ten forward spots are automatically spoken for: Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Jarome Iginla, Loui Eriksson, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell, Shawn Thornton and Chris Kelly. It would also appear at this point that Carl Soderberg and Reilly Smith are fairly safe as the other 2/3 of the third line along with Kelly after two straight appearances together against the Red Wings and Capitals.
So Monday night's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals was a proving ground with the Bruins coaching staff and management watching, evaluating and ultimately deciding which players make the cut.
"There are quite a few guys in the mix. That's some of the stuff I alluded to [Monday] morning when I said we're going to have some tough decisions to make at the end," said Julien. "There's no doubt those decisions will be made as a group; upper management, coaches involved, because everybody's going to have an opinion and going to have to weigh pros and cons and everything else that goes with it."
Spooner has been the darling of training camp as a 21-year-old that appears to just be coming into his powers at the NHL level. The gifted young center generated seven shots in a little over 16 minutes of ice time on Monday night, and used his speed, smarts and hockey skill to create a number of scoring chances for himself. Even better, Spooner was hustling to fore-check and rotating to cover defensemen in transition once his teammate had pinched into the offensive zone.
Though Spooner faces a stacked group of established centers already on the roster, he has also put together four very good performances during the preseason while showing he's getting close to a finished NHL product at a precocious young age.
"I play my best hockey when I can skate with the puck, and shoot around the back-check too. Sometimes it's harder to get going and get speed on the ice, but any chance I get to go with speed it makes [the opposing defenseman] back-off a little bit," said Spooner. "A lot of D men like to hold up at the blue line, so I think if I use some speed I can chip it by them and be the first one on the puck – or even mostly D-men will just back off, let you take the blue line so that's kind of what I try to do."
While Spooner has the electric mix of speed and skill in a young prospect just on the cusp of a promising NHL career, Johnson is a 27-year-old veteran that's been around the block a few times. The former Wild, Coyotes and Penguins player has logged more than 100 games at the NHL level, and has showed his ability in different forms throughout the preseason.
Johnson potted three goals in the first two preseason games to really put himself on Boston's radar, and has exhibited a gritty third-liner's willingness to block shots, fore-check and do whatever it takes. The former Dartmouth College star showed another side on Monday night when he jumped to the defense of Adam McQuaid when he was thrown to the ice by Michael Cajkovski. Johnson isn't a fighter and didn't fare very well in the bout, but it was the gesture that caught the eye of the Bruins afterward.
"Outstanding job by [Johnson], a lot of character, that's exactly what the identity of this team is," said Zdeno Chara. "His approach and his reaction to protect his teammate was outstanding, good for us and great for him."
The one real enigma here is Caron. As a 22-year-old former first round pick that's spent portions of the last three seasons with the Bruins, one would have expected him to have the inside track on a roster spot this fall. But Caron has largely struggled to find consistency in his game, and hasn't made any kind of dent offensively or defensively for the Black and Gold.
Caron threw the body around a bit on Saturday night in Detroit, and he had a couple of decent plays with Spooner during a lopsided win over the Capitals on Monday night. But Caron doesn't look like an impact player, and he doesn't even look like a guy hell bent on winning an NHL job with the Bruins. The Bruins are saying all of the right things about the camp that Caron has put forth, but sometimes it's a very good thing for a struggling player to have a change of scenery.
"I think we're watching Jordan [at camp] as well. I think you've seen him on the power play in front of the net in certain games; he's killed [penalties] a little bit for us. We need to see his improvement as well," said Julien. "We have to be able to assess him properly and give him the proper chance. But there's no doubt he's been with us for more years than some of those other guys, so you have an idea of what you've got.
"But you still have to give him that opportunity and give him that chance to earn himself a spot. So he's in the mix as well as you know. I think by next week he'll be one of the guys that we're going to be talking about whether he stays or goes."
All three players worked well together in Monday night's win over the Capitals even though they're on their own personal journeys to clinch a roster spot. It's gone remarkably different for each one of the trio, but they're all in the same boat now simply looking for a chair to sit in before the training camp music stops next week.
Realistically it will only be good news for one of them when the finalized NHL roster is announced, and it's up to them to decide who it's going to be.
Bruins looking for winner at forward
It was only fitting that the Bruins coaching staff opted to lump Ryan Spooner, Jordan Caron and Nick Johnson onto the same forward line for Monday night's preseason game against the Washington Capitals.

Arizona Wildcats
Dan Buckner, Matt Scott selected to play in East-West Game
Although their UA days may be behind them, former Wildcats quarterback Matt Scott and wide receiver Dan Buckner still have every intent to continue their respective football careers.
This week, the duo was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. The game will be held January 19 in St. Petersburg, Fla., and UA fans can watch it live, as it will be televised by the NFL Network.
Scott, a second-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2012, hopes to be the second consecutive Wildcats quarterback to be taken in the NFL draft. Nick Foles was chosen in the third round of last April's draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and went on to make six starts during his rookie season.
Buckner, who had 61 catches for 733 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2012, hopes to join former teammates Juron Criner and Tevin Wade in the NFL next season. In the 2012 draft, Criner was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round, and Wade was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the seventh round.
Heading into the Shrine Game, NFLDraftScout.com projects Scott to be taken in the fourth round and Buckner to go undrafted.
