Ancient history of wedding rings
We're not sure how many of you would like to know more about the ancient history of wedding rings, the symbolism of wedding rings, the significations, the meanings and the popular beliefs that make them what they are, but in the following lines we would like to introduce you into a short story or ancient history of wedding rings.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Everybody is absolutely certain that the concept of "wedding rings" appeared for the first time during the Egyptian culture, when most of the ancient Egyptian money coins were created with a hole in the center. These coins were actually worn by the Egyptian people like rings and this is how the whole tradition of wedding rings started.
The groom placed the ring of money on his bride's finger and by this ritual he wanted to let her and everybody else know that she was to be his lovely wife and his wealth and social status were now hers too.
Moving on to a popular belief that considered the placement of the ring on one's hand to be extremely essential for the couple's life, most traditional engagement rings and wedding rings used to be worn and they still are worn on the third finger of the left hand.
Most ancient people believed this precise third finger of one's left hand contains some sort of nerve that can be followed up right to the heart. With this connection being set, there was no turning back or another place to establish the ring on. The famous diamonds that we're not incorporating in wedding rings so beautifully were also considered to play a special role in a couple's life.
The ancient history of wedding rings and diamonds more precisely confirms the popular beliefs of the Romans and of the Greeks that diamonds were precious and sacred. While the Romans thought that diamond stones were real mysterious fragments of shooting stars, the Greek people believed that diamonds were actually the tears of their God.
Even today we think that diamonds are the most precious, wonderful and miraculous magical stones that can be incorporated into a veritable wedding ring. Perhaps you are wondering now: when the first diamond wedding ring appeared and where can it be traced down? Well, the very first wedding ring that featured a diamond dates since the 1477s, when an Austrian married his wife with a gold diamond wedding ring. The diamond stones were used in a very unique way, following the letter pattern "M" of the bride.
Back in the ancient times, the wedding ring ceremony wasn't the ceremony of two wedding rings. Only the man was in charge of giving the bride a ring. The double ring wedding ceremony started only during the '50s and the whole ritual was actually a clever attempt to increase the wedding ring industry and sell more rings. Today we think that both the bride and the groom must wear a wedding ring in order to become one, a complete heart that will always stay faithful.11

I absolutely love hiking with my dog so this sounded like the perfect group!
Help support your Meetup
This is a group for those who would like to take hikes with their best friends. It's an open group so anyone will be able to schedule a hike without me having to do it. Be sure when you schedule a hike with your hound you follow the area's regulations on pets. There are areas such as National Parks and other other aeas which do not allow hounds. Be sure you do your research before scheduling hikes, campouts and other events. Have a good time scheduling your own hound dog events!!!
There are only four things you need to remember:
1. You can't remove a member without going through me first
2. Please do not have members make reservations for an event and then cancel the meetup. There will always be someone who will take your place as an event organizer
3. Do not charge members for an event
4. Always have fun with what your scheduling
It's that easy. If I can schedule events, so can you!!!
Have a good week everybody!!!

The Great Unspoken Tragedy of the Present Time with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
There is an ecological devastation and that is very visible… We read the newspaper and it is accelerating it is getting worse. Just earlier this year we read that the species in the oceans are depleting at a much faster rate than anybody had realized. It's accelerating it's getting worse, it is the most visible trajedy in our time is is ina awy the one thign that really matters much more than economic crisis or political crises or whatever it is, is ecological devastation that is what we are going to leave our children and grand children. And the spiritual side of that is in a way even more devastating because it means that life will have no purpose if the sacred within creation goes out, if that sacred substance in creation that we were asked to nourish we were asked to care for with our prayers our devotions our practices we have yet to nouriosh have yet to make a relationship with if that goes out the and life has no meaning. There is no purpose for being here from a spiritual perspective becsuse nothign in life cna nouriosh us nothing in life cna nourish us we will become hungry Ghost and this to me is the greatest tragedy of modern time

Greetings! I just registered on since I'm beginning to get back into biking!
I currently have a Trek 6500 ALPHA ZX, however, since it's been in storage for so long, it's been worn down; I need a new chain, new tubes, and possibly new tires.
Anyone on here who owns one of these bikes have any suggestions? I'm looking to do some riding on trails as well as on the road. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Great Game Franchise
This review is from: Assassin's Creed Unity PlayStation 4
Pros: if you like history, and like games where you learn, have to pay attention and get to do assassinations on the regular then this game is the one for you, the graphics are amazing, the game is great, and overall wonderful.
Cons: there are some minor glitches in the game, maybe ubisoft rushed this one a bit, people just randomly appear around you at times, and other small things, nothing major, hopefully they fix them soon.
Other Thoughts: was waiting for the game to go on sale somewhere for under 60, and I got the game for 40 with free shipping, I loved all the other AC games in the franchise that I've played on PS3, so figured take a crack at the newest one set in france.

Very nice campground about 2-miles past the Big Trees State Park. Military discount got us the best rate, they also offer Good Sam. Camping amongst the trees, our site was dirt (some have asphalt), needed some leveling, picnic table and fire pit. Quiet at night. They have a tent only section at the rear of the campground. The owner was friendly and helped us with our many questions. Swimming pool and kids playground were great, kids can bike around on the asphalt roads (helmets), firewood was reasonable, restrooms were clean. WiFi was available, no TV or cell phone reception. - zigzag
Jun 2011 - $40.00
A shady park in the pine trees about 2 miles east of Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Arnold is the nearest town of any size. The manager was very helpful and friendly. We arrived in a freezing weather storm and could only stay one night. Park is very clean and about half of spaces are leased to vacation/year-round. - firedguy
Jun 2010 - $32.00
This campground is most definitely NOT closed. This is the best place to stay if you have a motorhome or 5th wheel and if you want to tour the Big Trees State Park, Ebbets Pass, and the surrounding areas. Big Trees State Park does not allow anything over 30 feet. This park does, but you need to pick and choose your spot, as most sites are not level, but if you tour the park you may find a spot that will suit you. - nautifish

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Kiros is the young, knife-wielding member of Laguna's party, consisting of Kiros, Laguna, and Ward. Kiros is rather thin, and as a result is very quick. He uses 2 blades to inflict more damage.The party first encounters Kiros in the first "Dream" that Squall has, with Zell and Selphie. Kiros, like Ward, complains a bit. Kiros is shown with Laguna and Ward arriving in Deling City and encountering Laguna's first love, and Rinoa's mother, Julia Heartilly. Some "dreams" show Kiros meeting up with Laguna in Winhill, searching through Lunatic Pandora, as well as the time he helped Laguna and Ward escape an Estharian prison and hunting for Ellone. One of the last dreams is of Kiros joining Laguna in a movie, where he was supposed to play the dragon of the scene, but is instead replaced by a real dragon. He eventually comes to help Laguna take on the beasts.In the end, Kiros winds up alongside Ward and Laguna as usual, only as a Presidential advisor. He, Ward, and Laguna all are inseparable, truly devoted to one another.

Ok, why are NLS shorts are paying dividends to stay short? [AND I think there's a potential trap that shorts may want to think about.]
A. Say you sold short at $35. You could cover today for $13.50, realizing a profit of $21.50 before tax. Unfortunately 35% tax would cost $7.50, leaving you with only $14 in cash.
B. Or you could stay short indefinitely. You get your $21.50 profit tax-free, but you have to pay $0.40 in dividends each year. I estimate the present cost of that dividend stream at about $5 (12x$0.40), much less than the tax bill for closing your position. So you're left with a present value of about $16.50. Better to stay short and pay the dividends, eh? ; )
C. *BUT* what if NLS continues to earn $1 per year? Even if NLS just retains $0.60 per year ($1 less $0.40 div) in cash, sellers will expect that much higher share price each year. So TOTAL cost to shorts will be $1 per year. The net present value of that cost is 12x$1 = $12, much higher than paying tax on gains right now. Shorts are left with only $9.50 present value. Shoulda paid the piper after all ; (

The mechanics of shorting are widely misunderstood and I've butted heads with many people over this issue. You are the first to go off and do the research necessary to figure it all out. Well done.
I have a philosophical disagreement with your scenario C:
<<C. *BUT* what if NLS continues to earn $1 per year? Even if NLS just retains $0.60 per year ($1 less $0.40 div) in cash, sellers will expect that much higher share price each year.>>
If NLS must reinvest 0.60 each year just to maintain the 1.00 EPS, then that 0.60 is not "true" earnings. True earnings in this case is 0.40. That reinvested 0.60 only adds to intrinsic value (and, over time, to the share price) if it produces EPS growth.
I've read enough of your posts to know you understand this and didn't mean to imply otherwise with your simplified example. But I figured I'd bring it up anyway because it's easy to misvalue retained earnings if you aren't careful. It gets to the core of successful value investing. You see plenty of otherwise smart people do nonsensical DCF analyses where they double count both the reinvested cash flows and the growth that the reinvestment produces.
<<If NLS must reinvest 0.60 each year just to maintain the 1.00 EPS, then that 0.60 is not "true" earnings. True earnings in this case is 0.40. That reinvested 0.60 only adds to intrinsic value (and, over time, to the share price) if it produces EPS growth.>>
well that depends what you mean by "reinvest". If they're spending it on capital costs or things like inventory and receivables then sure. And that should show up in the cash flow SEC filings. Eventually it should filter down to their GAAP results and sap their earnings bringing it down to the "true" .40 level.
However if it's just accumulating in the bank as cash then it's still "true" earnings, even if it doesn't produce EPS growth (or rather, doesn't produce EPS growth over the risk-free bank interest). It'll sap ROI and eventually there will be pressure on the company to either invest it better or return the money to investors. But at a minimum the stock should go up dollar for dollar with the cash holdings.
If it produces EPS growth then it should go up *more* than dollar for dollar, it should go up proportionally with the existing price/book ratio which is well over 1 (currently 2.12) indicating investors think NLS can produce better returns than risk-free bank interest.
Thanks! & Here we go.
To keep things (relatively) simple, assume that NLS just keeps reporting flat earnings of $35 million per year on sales of about 460 million. We're after the stream of cash dividends that the company *could* pay out under those conditions.
The biggest issue is probably capex vs depreciation. Historical average capex for NLS is about 3% of sales. Depreciation is presently running just about 2.4%. If we bump up the depreciation charges to 3%, we have to take 2.75M per year from the reported earnings above. The 3% value came from a period of earnings hypergrowth, so I'd argue that it's a conservative estimate even as product lines change over time.
Checks in the Mail
Next, receivable lag has grown from 30 days (Q3'02) to 45 days (Q3'03) and will probably swell up to 60 days as the retail segment grows. The extra 15 days will get sucked permanently into equity so it's effectively a one-time charge against *owner* earnings. 15 days of sales comes to about 17 M. (Silver lining: for the same reason (retail), the inventory held by Nautilus itself has and will probably continue to decrease.)
Does Nautilus Group depend on purchase of an endless stream of new brands? No, I don't think so, not to maintain earnings at $1. In fact their existing stable of brands is already helping them expand into retail. Will management just buy things for no reason? Well, I hope not. Something to watch, certainly.
The resulting hypothetical cash flows I get are Y/E 2003: $2 (cash on hand) - $0.50 (cash set aside for swelling of AR) = $1.50
2004: $1
etc: $1.
So I think NLS can maintain their sales and earnings, and fund conservatively-estimated capital spending even if they were required to mail out $1 per year dividends. Probably a good deal for longs (7% of the share price). Probably a bad deal for shorts as I've claimed already.
What if the opportunity arises to grab more sales at the same 7.5% net margin and capex running at 3% of sales? Ignoring additional one-time charges to owner earnings, and assuming they don't acquire any more damn companies, 110 M in sales pays 8.25 M in earnings ($0.25 EPS) while leaving capex funded. We can't grow sales 24% while paying our full dividend. But it won't cost any more than the 32M owner earnings to gear up. So even if we put the entire dividend into non-cash retained earnings, it's possible financially (and historically) to grow 24% in one year. We increase the future earnings stream by 24% less the discount rate -- net 15% or more increase in present value if we accomplish it in just one year; perhaps more like 8-10% if it takes two.
You bring up an interesting point. And this always the case with stocks. GAAP is not necessarily a good measure of the owner's share of earnings. Sometimes it's better to look at changes in cash & cash equiv. In NLS's case, the change of cash and cash equiv for the year ending September was just under $26 million. If you divide that by the current market cap, that gives you a yield of 5.75%. Since this deducts dividends we'll have to add that in as well. 5.75 + 2.9 = 8.65%. (It's also to note that the debt level has not increased.) This is the current yeild that owners enjoy by owning shares of NLS. So, basically if you agree with shorts you think this yield is going to go down. In terms of long term investors, if you agree with longs you think this yield will either stay the same or go up.
Come on flea, you know as well as everyone else on this board if they beat in January the short side is the wrong side. It might be a big if but the economic news throughout the fourth quarter sure sems to point to a potential surpprise to the upside..
o stop it your making me dizzie with all that spin most shorts will be at the big party at the flea cirsus you and the rest of the bagholder are invited we will have a soup line we will even buy that lump of coal you all have we know how to trun it into gold!!!!!!!
lol you're right flea. Shorts have finally become the bagholders. And no matter how much lipstick I offer them (tax savings, margin cost), the short pig is gonna spend the New Year sitting all alone, sitting by the phone.
"Note for Nerds"
once again data boy has it wrong (or the way he wants to spin it)it should read note bagholder!!! he has put so much lipstick on this pig it can't even hold it head up anymore!!!!
i dont know what the academe definition of a squeeze is, but i think you're on the right track. the extreme volatile of this stock above $15 makes it clear that shorts have one eye on the exit
Yeah, I agree. I think we're approaching a decision point for shorts. At $13.50, and with tax year 2004 just weeks away, many of the pre-crash shorts are still making money by having the guts to hang on. We gotta give them credit.
But in January, tax-deferment starts to cost money again. Shorts below $40 will be losing money by hanging on even at $13.50. If the share price also remains up a point in a January rally then all shorts will be losing money by hanging on.
If that happens, then it won't be a question of guts anymore. Just crowd control. They'll all want out. I betcha short interest falls to 3 million shares before the end of Q1.
Astral, I agree that it's a factor, just not the only factor. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of short covering in Jan due to the tax factor. Let's hope so. The smart shorts may cover before Jan, becuase there is the possibility of squeeze.
>If shorts no longer think that the share price is going down, they will cover.
I don't quite agree, joker. Maybe I can give you a better answer (or at least the same answer but skipping fewer steps).
Your point makes perfect sense for longs. Holding a long position ties up money. So if we no longer think that the share price is going up then we will sell.
But it works backwards for shorts. They haven't bought, they've sold. So they get money up front, although it's stuck in escrow at first. But as soon as the stock price falls (October '02), cash is released from escrow. They can invest all that new cash, so long as their short position remains *open*. But *closing* the position will tie up money. (Not immediately, a few months later at tax time.)
And that was doggydogworld's point a couple of weeks ago: If shorts feel comfortable that the stock price isn't going anywhere, they'll tend to sit tight. If their unrealized gains per share are high enough, they'll even pay dividends to sit tight. A lot of them have been doing that for the better part of a year.
I'm not insisting that all shorts will pay such close attention to the cost of keeping their positions open. I'm just sharing an estimate of that cost. Sure, increasing share price is factored into that estimate, but so is the value of deferring taxes.
I believe that many shorts are at least aware enough of taxes that they've avoided covering this autumn. Short-term capital gains are still a big bite.

Federation labels Reggae Boyz performance a setback
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC- The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), says the Reggae Boyz poor performance at the recent Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Cup in Antigua has been a setback to the country's football programme.
The defending champions were eliminated at the preliminary stage after losing to French Guiana and Cuba.
Jamaica only managed a point in a goal-less draw with Martinique to finish at the bottom of the table.
"…some will argue that Jamaica don't have the given right to win a competition or even to advance" said newly appointed General Secretary of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Raymond Grant.
"I guess one will agree that not advancing to the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and by extension, not advancing to the semi-finals of the Caribbean Championship has placed a dent in our programme and also eroded some of the confidence," Grant told the Jamaica Observer.
Jamaica's performance has been criticized in the country's media including charges that the team played the worst football in the eight-nation competition.
JFF President Captain Horace Burrell has ordered a technical review into the reggae boyz performance in Antigua.
The Technical and Development Committee is currently compiling a report to submit to president Burrell for action.
However, Burrell has publicly stated that the job of head coach, Theodore Whitmore, was safe but hinted that action could be taken against others members of the technical staff.
"In the game of football when results are not favourable, then the administrative and technical staff, along with the players, must work twice as hard to ensure that what is lost is rebuilt, and that's the process that we are going through now" said Grant.
"There's a need for a level of introspection by all and, therefore, the levels of meetings that we have been having over the last week or so are part of the process to ensure that we rebuild the confidence of players, staff and the wider public".
Cuba went on to win the championship by defeating Trinidad & Tobago, 1-0, in extra time at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground last week Sunday.

Scottish Theatre
Scotland offers a variety of theatre productions ranging from small-scale productions like musicals to professional productions produced by Scotland's many theatre companies. Today broadcasting any event live has become indispensable. The Scottish theatre screen is surviving and the stagehands and running crew use tested and tried but dated equipment and franklite wall lights to put a show together.
Scottish Theatre Productions
Edinburgh is home to Playhouse, the largest auditorium in the UK that has staged several major productions like The Lion King. The King's Theatre is a historic building built in 1906 is still thriving today and periodically hosts credible writing workshops. Festival Theatre is well known for its contemporary dance productions. There are several other credible performance venues Eden Court, East Gate Arts Center, and Pavilion theatre. Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera are two of the most famous dance theatre production companies in Scotland.
Stagehand and Crew Equipment for Rigging in Scottish Theatre
Stagehands are men and women who assist in setting up the lights, sounds, props, and special effects for a production. They work behind and the scenes and are usually trained in multiple disciplines including carpentry, electrics, rigging, and audio and video projection. They don't just assist during a play and its rehearsals but also perform maintenance afterwards. Common equipments used by stage hands include rigging systems operated through power hoists and control systems in case of automated rigging, and blocks, arbours, guides, locks, and rails in case of manual rigging. Stage hands are also responsible for various rigging accessories like battens, clips, clamps, cable cradles, turnbuckles, thimbles and cable pantographs. Rigging equipment also involves hoists for fire safety curtains and canopies for controlling acoustics.
Electrics Equipment for Theatre Productions
The stagehands and the running crew working in the electrics department are responsible for controlling the stage lighting, and spotlights. They also operate fog machines, pyrotechnics (fireworks ) roving instruments, and any other electric special effects. Each production requires several spotlight operators, deck electricians, and a lightboard operator.
Audio Equipment
Stagehands are responsible for installing and operating the microphones including lavalier microphones. They also control the speakers, players, and recorded sound tracks. The crew employed in the sound department will also be responsible for live mixing the production's sound through a sound board.
Apart from these, a production will require several carpentry equipments like machine saws, nails, tacks, and hooks to put the set together and to prepare the deck floor. The properties department, usually called the props department, owns all the items that will be used on the stage. The wardrobe maintains all actors' costumes.

From U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, Hearings: Civilian Casualty, Social Welfare, and Refugee Problems in South Vietnam. 90:1 ( Washington, D.C., 1968), pp. 66-69, 75-76, 145. This subcommittee, over which Senator Edward Kennedy has presided, has produced much information on the civilian casualty toll in the war. This hearing was held throughout 1967. Don Luce is the former director of International Voluntary Services in Vietnam.
Today the refugee is in only a few cases fleeing Communist terrorism. In most cases he is either fleeing in fear of bombing or because he is being forced out because of allied military action to prevent a food source for the Vietcong.
I believe that in trying to destroy the infrastructure of the Vietcong we are actually destroying the infrastructure of the Vietnamese village itself or of the Vietnamese community itself.
Senator Kennedy. Would you say, Mr. Luce, that in winning the allegiance of the people that this might be self-defeating?
Mr. Luce. I say that in doing this we are losing the allegiance of the people, not only of the refugees themselves, but also of large, other larger, groups of people within Vietnam, because they see this happening, and it creates feelings of anti- Americanism within other groups, within student groups, even within, well, relatives of these people, and especially within the rural population of Vietnam.
The thing which the Vietnamese are most concerned about, if you meet--well, talking with a Vietnamese refugee woman and I asked her "What do you want most?" She said to be away from the bombing, and this is a very typical comment and a very common concern in rural Vietnam.
I think that we have to recognize the great fear that Vietnamese have of the bombing and the complete lack of understanding of where the free strike zones are often. Innocent

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dangerous from What an amazing company!! I previously reviewed this banner and gave it 2 stars because it came without eyelets. The very next day Vistaprint contacted me and said they were replacing it, no charge! It arrived yesterday - in time for my gig this weekend. I cannot rate this company highly enough. I have bought banners, signs, t-shirts, business cards, mugs etc and everything I've had from them has been the highest quality. Amazing service and quality. I'm a very happy customer and will continue to use Vistaprint and recommend them to my friends, as I do to you reading this.Thanks Vistaprint - you guys ROCK!! :-)

Rated 2 out of 5 by Dangerous from No Eyelets on Banner I am a musician and I bought a 122 x 244 cm Banner to hang up at my gigs to promote myself. I also ordered the cable ties to hang it with. How disappointed I was when it arrived as it has no eyelets to hang it by! This renders the banner useless as there is no way it can be displayed in any other way other than by hanging. It was a lot of money wasted and a real pity as the banner itself is really rather good and very high quality. If it had eyelets I would have given it 5 stars. I'm playing a very big gig next weekend and was so looking forward to being able to hang this banner on stage. Very disappointed!

MEDFORD, Ore. — Remember those Rockwellian days when the family pet followed the kids to school and everyone laughed?
Well, no more.
The Medford School District is kicking critters off campus.
As the new school year starts, it's scram to the loyal dog that once trailed behind its teacher-owner and shoo to the cat that basked in the school office longer than anyone can remember.
The plug isn't being pulled on fish tanks, but other live science projects probably can't stay overnight.
The zoological restrictions, which were tightened in December and are now being enforced, are intended to protect kids and employees from animal-activated allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, other health and safety issues, and the possibility of a bite, scratch or peck.
"We're still making campuses animal friendly, it's just not their home," says Julie Evans, the district's director of elementary education.
Although she sympathizes with owners of banished pets, she says, "We need campuses to be safe."
District educators acknowledge that creatures can be effective teaching aids.
They can provide close-up lessons about animal habitat, handling and feeding for life-science classes. Their growth, water intake and food consumption can be measured and charted in math class. And their actions may inspire artwork and original stories.
Research also shows that caring for classroom pets improves attendance, connects kids to nature and teaches that human actions have an impact on other living beings.
Emotionally, children confide in pets when they're feeling low or left out.
But in Medford, animals have to hightail it when the dismissal bell rings, if they're allowed on campus at all.
A Lionhead rabbit named Yoshi spends the day in a cage in the second-grade classroom at the new VIBES Public Charter School at the Kids Unlimited facility. At night, it goes home with teacher Melissa Olmstead Ballard.
The fish, however, stay put in a big, glass tank.
Service exception
In some schools, birds, reptiles and insects can linger during the week — unless they're wild, exotic or poisonous.
"Reading dogs," drug-sniffing or search-and-rescue canines are welcome on campus, but not so fast with everyday dogs and cats.
If a kid brings a leashed or caged animal for show and tell, the "guest" pet must be taken home immediately afterward.
To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Medford School Board Policies ING and ING-AR do make provisions for service animals.
Service dogs can come to school and even ride the bus.
But they and their owners have to jump through a few hoops first.
For one, the dog has to wear a harness and a vest that identifies it as a service animal.
It has to have all its shots, a license and special training.
Owners then have to show they have adequate liability insurance and promise to handle any mess or damage to district property.
If students aren't able to "independently provide all care and management" for their campus companion, a handler can do so, if he or she passes a background check.
While on campus, service dogs should not be petted, fed, groomed, cared for or distracted from their job, states the policy.
If the animal is somehow disruptive — imagine a dog barking or doing something cute — it has to be reported to the building supervisor. Then the principal will have to convene a meeting to discuss the situation.
If the owner wants to appeal a four-legged expulsion, it has to be in writing and the superintendent would have to overrule the decision.
All of this policy and paperwork has Lori Chakarun, a retired office manager at Lone Pine Elementary, shaking her head and getting a little heated.
Sixteen years ago, a tortoiseshell cat named Sunflower followed kids to the school and ended up making the campus her permanent home.
Staff chipped in for food and vet visits and kept the litter box clean.
Students who earned good grades and exhibited excellent behavior were rewarded with Sunflower time. If they were upset, she would crawl into their lap.
No more.
In June, Sunflower was ousted.
Chakarun took the cat to her Jacksonville home. But everything's not purrfect.
"People need to know who will not be returning to school this fall," says Chakarun.
The green-eyed feline is not the only mascot given the heave-ho at Lone Pine, she says.
Bella, an emotional support dog for the special ed class, was evicted during spring break.

John Tresch is an historian of science and technology. Trained in anthropology and philosophy, his work explores the diversity of the sciences, especially in their interactions with other cultural formations. His work focuses on connections between knowledge, disciplines, cosmology, social order, and ritual; changing methods, instruments, and institutional arrangements in the sciences, arts, and media; and shifting definitions of the rational and real.
His book, The Romantic Machine, set in France before the revolution of 1848, examined intersections between romanticism, science, industry, and utopian politics; it won the 2013 History of Science Society's Pfizer Award for Outstanding Book. His next book, Poe's Science: The Reason for the Darkness of the Night, shows Edgar Allan Poe's technical obsessions in the light of scientists' efforts to institute authority over knowledge. Other ongoing projects include the study of cosmograms as a tool for comparative cosmology, notably in the Anthropocene and the digital age; and a study of contemporary neuroscience in its encounters with contemplative practices.
He has held fellowships at Columbia's Society of Fellows in the Humanities, Northwestern, the University of Chicago, the Max Planck Institute for History of Science, the Huntington Library, and the Cullman Center at the New York Public Library.

Video: A look at Jalen Saunders, OU's newest weapon
By Anthony Slater – email@example.com – @anthonyVslater
Regardless of the average defenders trying to slow Jalen Saunders in this grainy but revealing YouTube clip, his pure speed shines through.
Granted, Mountain West athletes don't exactly compare to those roaming Big 12 secondaries. But it's not like this conference has earned a great name for stopping the pass lately.
Saunders' only refined route may be 'run as fast as you can for five seconds, look up and catch the ball if it's coming to you,' but that seems to be one that the OU offense has been lacking this season.
And with the surprising announcement of his immediate eligibility, that added boost could be huge for Landry Jones come Red River Saturday.
And, as Randy Moss would love to remind you, it's always good to have somebody 'take the ball deep, take the top off the defense.'

...my IPhone Is Ruining My Life [News - Item, The (PA)]
(News - Item, The (PA) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The concept of time is probably one of the hardest to grasp. Merriam-Webster says time is "a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future." Say what We all think we get it. We all build our lives around it, but, although we created the system for measuring it, I don't think, in the grand scheme of things, any of us really understand what time is.
It's a hard thing to wrap your mind around.
Looking back, the first time I was able to get the slightest grip on the concept of time was thanks to the cinematic masterpiece, "Spaceballs." The cult classic parodies the original Star Wars trilogy taking aim especially at the commercialization aspect of it all.
At one point, when attempting to locate the hero of the movie, Lonestar, played by a super dreamy Bill Pullman, Dark Helmet, the parody version of Darth Vader brilliantly portrayed by Rick Moranis, and his main commander, Colonel Sandurz, pop in the VHS "Spaceballs: The Movie." They fast-forward to the scene depicting Dark Helmet's failed attempt to utilize "ludicrous speed." This doesn't sit well with Helmet, and he orders his cohorts to fast-forward further which lands them precisely at the moment of the movie that is happening.
This creates the cinematic version of the Droste effect, or recursion, where a picture appears within itself and seems to go on forever, which, for the record, blows my mind something fierce.
Essentially, what's happening in the movie is happening in the movie on the screen within the movie and so on and so on and so on. Mind-blowing.
Like finding out the dad on Fresh Prince was the same guy who voiced Shredder on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
But back to "Spaceballs." The dialogue of the scene I mentioned before I blew your mind reads as such: ........
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at When does this happen in the movie Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
What happened to then We passed then.
When Just now. We're at now, now.
Go back to then.
When Now.
Now Now.
I can't.
Why We missed it.
When Just now.
When will then be now Soon.
Are you kidding me No wonder time is the subject of so many great songs. It's truly a mind-boggling thing to try to get a hold of.
Yet, we waste it like it's nobody's business.
Although I constantly remind myself that time is precious and life is short, I find some of the most idiotic ways of wasting time, none so significant as the use of my iPhone.
My iPhone is somehow the most useful and useless thing I've ever laid my hands on.
There are a multitude of benefits to owning a smartphone but at the same time, there is the downside where the iPhone is essentially ruining my life by flushing all my precious time down a virtual toilet.
First, the good.
There are a number of features that make my iPhone handy and, in a 21st century kind of a way, essential to my daily tasks.
It has a number of features that keep my life organized and on track. Its alarm clock is handy because I can set at the beginning of the week the various alarms for the multiple shifts I'm facing for the next 6 days. A flashlight app insures I'll always have a light to guide me. A navigation app called "Waze" not only gets me to where I'm going when travelling, but also alerts me to inclement weather, traffic situations and various other road hazards. Spark recipes allows me to create meals based on what ingredients I already have on hand and even lets me factor in a food allergy. Sleep Cycle, when I set it up, measures movements in my bed to let me know how many hours and what kind of quality of sleep I'm getting in one night, which is how I determined I'm an insomniac.
My phone also acts as my watch, calendar, MP3 player, camera, a Kindle (I'd still rather hold an actual book, but, in a pinch, I'll order the digital version to satiate my impatience), the keeper of my grocery list and much more.
However, the amount of time I waste on this device while laying on the sofa or in bed attempting to sleep at night is sickening.
As if Facebook wasn't a big enough time waster on the computer, now it's at the tips of my fingers at any point in the day. When I first signed up, I would sit on this cheap IKEA computer chair for hours on end in my living room until I ended up 12 degrees of separation away from the original page I was looking at, staring at pictures of some stranger who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone I know and thinking, "How did I get here Who is this person Who was I creeping on to begin with Did I just click 'like' by accident " Then there is Instagram, Stumble Upon, various apps with photos of interior design, online app shopping, games and so on and so forth.
And Buzzfeed. Don't even get me started on the amount of time I waste on Buzzfeed. The site is where the best of the ridiculous content of the Internet is gathered. I will lay there for hours reading and rewatching gifs of people falling through doors which have no panes of glass where panes of glass should be.
Just utter nonsense.
That's why I've taken to reading books using my Kindle app. I feel like if I'm this attached to staring at this phone while waiting for the sandman to come, I may as well read something productive rather than watch clips of cats performing in the Russian cat circus.
I find myself disposing of time in the same careless manner some Shamokinites dispose of their trash: just tossing it away over my shoulder without a thought of where it ends up.
We only have limited time on this planet, however, we have more time than our ancestors who got up at the crack of dawn to milk the cows before breakfast, walked a mile to a well for a drink or gathered wood for a fire to keep warm in the winter.
Technology is both a blessing and a curse.
I save time by not having to read a complicated map to get where I need to be, but then I waste triple the amount by looking at lists of pop stars and their correlating bird doppelgangers or what random celebrities would look like had they had Steve Buscemi's eyes instead of their own.
So, I'm resolving right now to spend less time on my phone and start making the most of now - not dwelling on the past, or worrying so much about what I can't control about the future.
D.H. Lawrence one said, "The living moment is everything," and nothing could be more accurate. Because this is now, now, but in a moment, it will be then, and when you turn around to get back to then, it's already passed and you're back to now again which will soon be then again.
The iPhone is an amazing device, but it is no substitute for living your actual life.
So, if you're guilty, as I am, of being overly fixated on a tiny screen, try to tone it down.
When possible, in order to have an actual conversation, talk to people you care about face-to-face instead of texting them. Meet them for lunch (and leave your phone in your pocket!) instead of posting on their wall. Put your phone down, take a walk outside, take in the real world and use your time wisely.
(Jenna Wasakoski, a News-Item editor, is a graduate of Von Lee School of Aesthetics and is certified as a professional makeup artist.) Accomplice apps: the good and the bad Actually useful - Alarm clock - Waze - The Weather Channel - Around Me - informs me of the closest restaurant, gas station, bar, shopping or various other useful destinations - DirecTV - allows me to set my DVR at home through my phone. So, if I run into someone and they say, "Did you see, that documentary is on tonight with that guy who is in love with his car " I can quick set it up to record so I don't miss out.
- iBooks/Kindle - Target - this app actually tells you what aisle you can find something in. Comes in real handy when seeking out things on a registry.
- Find iPhone - locates my locked phone if I lose it - GenieMD - tracks any medication you are taking, warns of interactions, reminds you when to take them.
- Spark Recipes - Flashlight News-related - CNN - AP Stylebook - Press Reader - NPR News Throwing time right in the trash - Facebook - Instagram - Buzzfeed For my mental health and overall fitness - Words with Friends - good for brain activity and mental health - Hypnotizing apps - These, I play while I sleep sometimes. They are supposed to hypnotize me and essentially turn me into a super human that fears nothing, loves everything and can do anything.
- Sleep Cycle - WebMD - oh, my arm hurts, let me consult the "symptom checker" where all roads, no matter how minor the issue, lead to various terminal illnesses as a possible condition.
- Lose it - tracks your calories consumed and burned in a day. Actually kind of a waste of time. Instead of entering every blessed thing I eat in a day, perhaps I can run another mile, that seems like it would be more effective in staying in shape.
Involves music, gets a free pass - Spotify - WXPN - best music station from the Philly area if you like the music I listen to, which many of you probably don't.
- NPR music - Pandora - SongPop - a multiple-choice music game that allows me to showcase my vast knowledge of all kinds of music.

Not only does the disco ball spin, but you can swipe and make it go faster or slower.

RIDGEFIELD — It took a couple of kicks to the gut on Tuesday to knock the fear from the Ridgefield girls soccer team.
Once that happened, it didn't take long for the Spudders to propel themselves into the Class 1A state quarterfinals.
Freshman Jordyn Voyles scored twice in less than five minutes late in the match, lifting the Spudders to a 2-1 win over visiting Lynden Christian. The victory advances unbeaten Ridgefield (18-0) into a Saturday match against University Prep.
"It was pretty tough (falling behind), but I believed we could win this game," Voyles said.
The first blow was absorbed by Ridgefield goalkeeper Jenna Rogers, who took a foot to the ribs in a collision with Lyncs' forward Coryn Bajema early in the second half of a scoreless battle.
Moments later, Bajema delivered a more significant blow, scoring off a long throw-in from teammate Jessa Vanderpol to put the visitors ahead 1-0.
It was the first goal scored by a visiting team on Ridgefield's home turf in two seasons, and the first time all season Ridgefield trailed in a game.
With less than 26 minutes remaining, that goal forced the Spudders to lift their intensity.
"We had to give up a goal to get going," Ridgefield coach Robby Trimbo said. "Once that happened, we had such a good hometown crowd here, our fans were still with us and everybody got on the same page and we started playing the way we should have."
Ultimately, the Lyncs couldn't keep up with the speedy Voyles.
On the tying goal, which came with 14 minutes left, the freshman was able to work around a bigger defender to chase down a loose ball. She charged into the penalty area and put a clean shot past goalkeeper Louisa Brisbane.
"I just tried my best to keep up with the (defender), and I got past her and I was able to score," Voyles said. "I knew I was going to go all out to get to that ball and get it in the back of the net."
Voyles shook free again moments later. Sophomore Courtney Potter beat a defender down the right wing and sent a low cross to the front of the goal. Voyles beat Brisbane to the pass and poked it behind the Lynden Christian keeper for the go-ahead goal.
"I just believed in Courtney. Me and her up top know each other," Voyles said. "(Brisbane) didn't intimidate me. I was going for that ball and I was going to get it."
Intimidated or not, the Spudders were unable to generate much of an attack until Voyles got free with the game on the line. Two shots from distance by Lizzie Vance were the most dangerous Ridgefield chances in the gam's first 65 minutes.
One measure of the flow of play was Lynden Christian earning nine corner kicks to only one for Ridgefield.
But the Spudders stood tall on restarts against bigger Lyncs forwards.
"We just had to get through it," Rogers said. "Yes, they were big, but we still had to keep focused and keep going."
Rogers made seven saves, three of those after a sliding stop against Bajema that kept the Spudders' sophomore goalkeeper down for a couple of minutes.
Rogers bounced back, and so did her teammates.
"They work incredibly hard up top. Their forwards just gave us fits and made us play everything quickly," Lynden Christian coach Brent De Ruyter said. "A couple of bad bounces, one we didn't clear, and (Voyles) finished very well."
Tuesday's victory was the first state tournament win for Ridgefield girls soccer since a run of six consecutive Class 2A state quarterfinal appearances from 2001 to 2006.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said starting pitcher Yu Darvish is still on track to make his scheduled start Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.
When asked if Darvish could start before Sunday, Washington said it was a "consideration."
The 26-year-old rookie was scratched hours before his Tuesday start because of a stiff neck. Washington said Darvish felt better on Wednesday and received treatment but is not ready to pitch yet.
"If he's 100 percent before Sunday, you may see him," Washington said. "If not, you certainly will see him Sunday."
Washington was not concerned that Darvish's neck would keep him out any extended period and said it was the product of sleeping on his neck wrong.

Write Access
Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider that idea for future issues, although it might pose some logistical challenges. One problem is that some of these tools have both open source and proprietary alternatives. In other cases, the license might not fall into one of the traditional license categories.
Although we typically give preference to open source alternatives in the rest of the magazine, Tech Tools is designed as a space that is open to any server and developer tools that might run on Linux. That said, we will try to watch for information on licensing and pass it on to the readers when we see it.
Dreamweaver on Linux
I am a huge fan of Linux. I have been using it for about 8 years now. About 6 months ago, I installed Ubuntu (for the nth time) on my laptop – this time Version 8.04 – and it immediately recognized my wireless adapter. Since then, Linux has become more and more a part of my life. I am especially loving the new Gnome.
However, I have become much more involved in design and graphics, and I have recently started a hosting company. My wife just bought me Adobe Master Collection CS4.
Try as I might, the open source options for design and web do not match up to Dreamweaver's integrated site management and graphics with Fireworks.
And Premiere has no equal.
So is there any hope? WINE is not working for me; would some kind of virtual PC running within Ubuntu do the trick?
Without this, I can never let go of the Windows hands around my neck (and my productivity).
Chris Lowry
The open source community offers several powerful web development tools, some of which have appeared in these pages over the years.
Since you like Linux and you have your own hosting company, you have probably explored many of these options, but for the record, free HTML tools such as Bluefish (http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/) and Quanta Plus (http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/) have become quite sophisticated, and many readers have been successful with using Nvu (http://www.net2.com/nvu/) and Aptana (http://www.aptana.com/) in place of Dreamweaver.
Yes, several options are also available for running Windows in a virtual machine on Linux. Some users have indeed been successful with setting up Dreamweaver to run on WINE. You'll find more information on the WINE option online.
Even if WINE doesn't meet your needs now, the WINE alternative has improved a lot over the past couple of years, and you might find more success with it at some point in the future.
Of course, the best solution by far would be for Adobe to port Dreamweaver to Linux.

I just tried trading between each of my GBA gen games and nothing, even FireRed and LeafGreen wont connect. I get the same wait time right after it saves for the trade area but then it never moves forward. Surely you aren't supposed to wait a long time before it connects, right? It should be just a few seconds if anything, or should I just be more patient and wait a couple of minutes? Holding the wires in didn't seem to help either.
Grah, this is frustrating. This Emerald has a lot of the annoying-to-get pokemon like the Regis and some friendliness-based evos. :/
I'm pretty sure you don't need to complete the games to trade between them.
Maybe there is something wrong with your cable? Or perhaps the used Emerald you purchased. The way your explaining it though seems like there may be a problem with your cable.

I'm still deep in the stockinette section of the shawl, with about 149 stitches on the needle. So far, so good! I love how my Lorna's Laces Solemate (color: Franklin's Panopticon) is knitting up! Here's another gratuitous yarn pic:
This type of shawl construction is interesting, because as I'm knitting, it looks like the garter-stitch edge of the shawl is taking on a U-shape. After the shawl is off the needles, this is the edge that will be blocked straight and will become the TOP edge of the shawl.
Here's a cool FO pic of this shawl, knit by Craftsyer Wrenknits.

If you find that you're having a difficult time following along with the pattern, we've got a great new course taught by the fabulous designer Laura Nelkin, called Knit This! Mastering Lace Shawls. An active knitwear designer, blogger, and workshop leader, Laura is the ideal guide for every stage of your lace knitting adventure, from learning to choose yarn and knit borders and edges, to reading multiple charts at once.
What yarns are you using to knit your shawls? How are you liking the pattern? How far along are you? Comment below and give us an update! AND, if you're knitting along, go ahead and create a Craftsy Project for your shawls so that we can see pics!
You can start out with progress pics and add the "money shot" later. Here's my Late Summer Holden Shawlette.
