Chapter 2: Arriving
~Dec 28, 1988~
Sarutobi was a bit surprised when he got a letter via bird messenger from Enma, his summon because that normally never bode well.
The monkey king was quite angry about something and demanded to talk about it face-to-face.
Slowly forming the necessary hand seals, slammed his slightly bloody hand down. A puff of smoke later stood a very pissed looking Enma.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! How dare you teach our summoning to an outsider!"
"Don't play coy with me! Only you could have taught this brat how to get into Mount Saruyama!" the monkey king spat out before thrusting something into Sarutobi's arms.
It was a boy, with bright flaming red hair, freckles and looked about eleven maybe younger. The child was currently looking between him and the irrate monkey.
"Enma, I have never seen this boy before, nor would I teach a child such a advanced jutsu like summoning."
"Then how did he get on Saruyama? Summoner's are the only humans aloud on that mountain!"
"Um excuse me?" a timid voice said. Both Hokage and king looked to the boy.
"I can vouch for the old man about never seeing him before. I also don't know how I ended up surrounded by monkeys."
Sarutobi smiled kindly. "Why don't you start with your name?"
The boy gave a weak smiled back, edging away from Enma.
"Fred Weasley."
In another part of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto was experiencing something very strange. A boy roughly three or four years older then he had crashed through his apartment ceiling, glowing red.
A board in the ceiling got dislodged, flying towards the window where a assassin stood holding a bowl of ramen. He figured the demon brat would follow him to get the ramen, making killing him easy. What he didn't take into account was the boy's strange luck and got knocked out the window from the impact of the beam, dropping the bowl which landed to the ground miraculously not spilling its contents.
After the glowing had stopped the older boy dropped to the floor, unconscious. He had bright red hair and freckled face.
Naruto blinked, looking at the strange boy over before seeing the bowl of ramen not too far from them.
Naruto, having not seen the assassin and thus not knowing where the ramen had come from broke out into a grin.
"I was right! The Ramen Fairy does exist!" the boy yelled gleefully, hugging the comatose 'fairy' before devouring the ramen.
Nii Yugito sighed heavily as she glared balefully at her fellow jinchuriki. What did she do to get stuck as Kirabi's babysitter?!
Two months. She was to watch him for two months as of a week ago! In Unraikyo, his favorite training grounds with nobody else with the exception of the weekly messenger and the crazy hermit who supposedly sees the future, the nearest settlement being a good fifty miles away, Kumogakura another twenty after that.
Worst of all, it seemed like Kirabi was incapable of talking in anything other then rhymes and the worst rapping she had ever heard!
Currently she was nursing a migraine courtesy of the rapping moron, the crazy seer hermit sitting not far from them.
"Why are you here?" she grumbled.
The crazy old coot looked like he could be Gandhi's twin, with the exception of having a full, if not really messy beard and cross eyes.
Smiling at her in a maniac manner (something the many missing teeth didn't help to improve) the old fart cackled.
"I'm here to see the emerald lighting bolt bathed in the Eighth Tails aura!" he said as though it was obvious.
"…you came to see a lighting bolt…in the Land of Lightning?"
"An emerald lightning bolt covered in demon chakra!"
And this is the man who had sealed the two tails into me and the eight tails into Killer Bee. How I'm still sane I'm still not sure. As for Kirabi… She returned her attention back onto the idiot.
"You see me here, kitty-cat, and I rhyme crazy,
Used to have a job reading to a rich blind lady,
Because my brother sucks!
He's afraid I'll run amuck,
Beat up kids
And not keep my lid
Screw you Bro!
This is an all time low!"
Yugito twitched, resisting the urge to gut the younger ninja. Something, anything, make him stop! As if to answer her silent plea, a bright purple light shot through the roof, causing both ninja's to go on guard.
Both blinked at what they saw.
A pale young boy who looked maybe four or five in very large clothing floated above Kirabi in the purple light, eyes closed behind large circular broken glasses, messy black hair and a lighting bolt shape scar on his forehead.
Yugito gapped at the child. She recognized that chakra! But how in the seven hells is Hachibi's chakra coming from that kid?
After a moment the child dropped, Kirabi barely catching him in time.
"Holy Crap! A brat fell in my lap!"
Yugito ran forward, looking the child over seeing as Kirabi looked ready to drop him. Before she could do anything though the boy's eyes snapped open, reveling the deepest and brightest green eyes she had ever seen. They almost looked like twin—
"Emerald." The old man said, grinning widely.
"Hello and welcome, Emerald Lightning Bolt."
Ron was never a good swimmer, if anything he was mediocre best. So had any of his family had seen him they would have been awed by his speeding through the lake at a rate that would have blown the merfolk out of the water.
Then again the merfolk had never had a four story tall, three tailed and extremely ticked off demon turtle chasing after them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" screamed the terrified boy as he practically ran through the water, trying to get as much distance between himself and the monster he had disturbed.
One moment he was in the Leaky Cauldron, the next he had landed in the eye of a beast! Literally.
So now here he was, swimming for dear life, trying to reach land before it was too late.
Tsunade couldn't for the life of her figure out why Katsuyu had summoned her into Namekujiyama. It most of been very important for the slug queen to resort to that.
She just hoped that Shizune didn't go hiding her sake while she was away.
Soon the busty woman saw her old friend.
"Tsunade-hime, thank goodness you've come! I can't get him out."
"Him?" Tsunade said, raising one of hereyebrows.
The slug pointed with one of her optical tentacles to a small hole in the rockworks, barely big enough for a kid to get in. Puzzled Tsunade went on her knees to see what the slug was talking about, bending just enough to get a clear shot of the inside.
Tsunade's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of a small sobbing child within it.
Looking back up at her partner Katsuyu answered the unsaid question.
"I can't really explain it. He just came in a flash on light, but what really perplexes me is that he had my chakra coming out of him when he first got here."
Tsunade looked back at the child, only to find that he had stopped crying and was looking at her.
Big puffy grey-blue eyes stared beseechingly at her, hope wavering. He was dirty, his light blonde hair matted as tear marks streaked down his face.
Smiling warmly at the poor child (who was probably terrified to see a giant talking slug and no humans) Tsunade raised her arms, silently asking him to come forward. The boy wasted no time getting to her where he buried his head into her bosom, sobbing loudly as he held on for dear life.
"There, there. Your okay." Tsunade soothed, rubbing the boy's back.
"One of my clones will summon you two back. Take care." Katsuyu spoke.
Tsunade and the boy disappeared from her in a cloud of smoke.
Gaara stared out into the night sky from his spot on the tower, tears threatening to fall. What did he do wrong? All he did was try to give the girl he had hurt medicine and how did she respond to this? Be slamming the door on his face and calling him a monster!
It hurt, his heart hurt. He just wanted a friend! He didn't want to be alone anymore!
Why…why am I the only one who's a monster? What am I?! The tiny boy thought as a tear fell down his face.
Unknown to him Yashamaru stood not far behind him, getting ready to kill Gaara. Its time to die Gaara, He thought bitterly. But before he could launch his assault a bright golden light shot towards them, forcing them both to cover their eyes.
After a moment the light died down some, Gaara looked to see what caused it. He gasped at the sight of a girl, no older then him suspended in the air with a gentle golden glow around her.
Pale milky skin, odd clothing, long straggly dishwater blonde and where those radishes in her ears?
The girl opened her eyes, protuberant silvery grey orbs looking at him in a dazed manner before she smiled in a dreamy manner.
Then the light around her disappeared, and the strange girl was plummeting towards the ground. Gaara let out a startled cry, jumping after her. He knew the sand would protect him but she was as good as dead if she hit the ground.
Yashamaru decided that killing Gaara could wait; the girl was in danger! Ripping off his mask the medic-nin rushed to the ledge, jumping over as his feet connected to the side of the wall. Yashamaru ran down the side of the building using gravity to add his speed.
Gaara's sand reacted to the boy's danger, rushing up and catching both him and the girl. Gaara released the breath he was holding as he moved his way to the girl, slowly as not to scare her. The girl mercifully enough just sat there, looking around the place with a sense of awe.
Seeing him she gave a strange smile. "That was fun. Can we do it again?" she said in a dreamy voice.
Both Gaara and Yashamaru blinked at her reaction.
Zetsu was on vacation, and had decided to camp out in the Forest of Death near Konoha. So far it was a very good vacation; plants to talk to, a wide variety of animals to eat and just an hour ago he had caught a Jounin! The day was just getting better and better!
"We shouldn't eat that," Black Zetsu fussed.
"Why not?" White Zetsu asked, chewing on the half finished arm of the Jounin.
"Because this guy was a poison expert. You know what poison experts do to us."
"Oh come off it."
"Seriously. Don't you remember last time? We saw bouncing babies, rainbows, and dancing multi-colored Orochimaru's in drag! We're still scarred from that!"
"That was a one time--"
Zetsu watched as a blonde haired chubby boy bouncing like a beach ball in front of him, followed by a giant centipede that seemed to have found it amusing that the boy was bouncy.
Zetsu blinked several times before regurgitating the Jounin. He did NOT want to start seeing a certain snake Sannin dance the ballet in pink tutu's again.
Yay an update!
Sorry its short but I'm job hunting and will hopefully have a job before the end of the month so updates on all my stories will be slow.
Hope you like it!
Please leave a review, I'm always open to ideas.

Fortress New York, Falling to Time; Across City, Vestiges of the Days of Redcoats, Rebels and Russians
By DAVID W. CHEN
Published: December 16, 2001
In the Rockaways, sand dunes ripple past underground silos that once housed nuclear-tipped missiles. On the island where New York City maintains potter's field, prisoners bury the indigent near the foundations of former Army barracks. At a Staten Island park, children dig soccer cleats into land that offers a faint outline of a former Army air field.
Almost anywhere you go in New York City, there are vestiges of a colorful military past.
Today, the city is home to only one active-duty base, Fort Hamilton, at the Brooklyn foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, a small garrison whose primary mission is recruiting. As late as the 1960's, however, several thousand soldiers lived on more than a half-dozen installations scattered throughout the five boroughs, continuing a tradition that has guarded against redcoats, civil unrest and cold war shenanigans.
But the uniformed men and women standing sentinel at vulnerable locations in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks provide a rare reminder of the military's once significant presence in New York.
''There's a rich tradition, but there's a tendency to forget,'' said Jack Fein, the unofficial historian of Fort Totten, in Queens, which was decommissioned in 1967 and is now used primarily by the Army Reserves and the Police and Fire Departments. ''You had organizations and people and museums. Tremendous. All over the city. It was military, more than you can possibly realize.''
New York can certainly claim its share of military distinctions. Fort Totten was the site of the Army's earliest East Coast radar installation. Floyd Bennett Field was one of the country's busiest military airports during World War II. Abner Doubleday served at Fort Hamilton. So, too, did Stonewall Jackson, who just missed overlapping with another Confederate leader, Robert E. Lee.
But the history of the military in New York is largely a story of fortifications built out in concentric rings, away from the heart of the city, according to Russell S. Gilmore, a historian and author of a 1983 monograph, ''Guarding America's Front Door: Harbor Forts in the Defense of New York City.''
To defend the city, first from warships, then much later from missiles, the fortifications began with earthen berms built by the Dutch. Then they moved out to the stone forts at Liberty and Governors Islands, to the granite forts in the outer boroughs guarding the harbor, and, finally, to the underground silos on the city's fringes and in the suburbs.
For the most part, the strategy worked. In fact, before Sept. 11, the only time New York was attacked was in 1776, when the British won the Battle of Brooklyn and occupied the city for the rest of the Revolutionary War.
In the early 19th century, the military sought to protect the southern flank of New York harbor by building two sister fortifications facing each other at the Narrows: Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island. Later, the same strategy was applied to Long Island Sound on the east, with the erection of Fort Totten in Queens, and Fort Schuyler in the Bronx.
During the Civil War era, when the city already had large contingents of both Union and Confederate sympathizers, tensions climbed with the Draft Riots of the 1860's, a rash of fires, ethnic rivalries, widespread labor strife and roving, undisciplined militia units.
''There was a lawless potential, and it was truly a militarized situation,'' Mr. Gilmore said. ''It really frightened the upper classes.''
In time, New Yorkers grew accustomed to the military.
In the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn near Fort Hamilton, residents knew to remove or protect mirrors and pictures hanging on their walls on the days that the Army conducted its loud and jarring gun tests. In the 1950's and 1960's, residents within earshot of Floyd Bennett Field grew inured to the roar of Navy planes, taking off and landing, taking off and landing.
Indeed, by the early 20th century, air defense had become a vital component of New York's military makeup. During World War I, the Army relied on a small air field in Staten Island called Miller Field. Floyd Bennett Field, meanwhile, was built in 1931 as New York's first municipal airport, and was later sold to the Navy, which used it extensively during World War II.
New York had a sizable role in World War II, particularly as a transit point for supplies and enlisted men. Tens of thousands were deployed out of New York. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the U.S.S. Missouri was built, was probably the single largest industrial entity in the country, with 70,000 workers working three shifts, said Arnold Markoe, executive editor of the Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives.
New York's military focus in the 1950's shifted largely to missile defense, as evidenced by the 20 or so sites throughout the metropolitan region that deployed surface-to-air Nike Ajax and Hercules missiles. But given the atmosphere of the cold war, few, if any, protested their existence so close to the urban core.
''The notion was the Russkies had these things, too, and they were a vital part of the defense of the nation's major cities,'' Mr. Gilmore said.

How to make Light Room 4 recognize my B drive
Jun 17, 2012
Hi, I am trying out LR4 now and having a hard time getting it to look for the B drive on my computer, which is my special hard drive I use for all my photographs. I have multiple drives and for some reason I created this B drive for my photos after setting up Win 7. So far, I like the way Bridge works better since I do not need the catalog function of LR to find my photos.

July 31, 2001, may not seem like a special date to many, but some Top 40 aficionados will remember it as the day Now That's What I Call Music 7 hit shelves and enlivened music lovers of all tastes with their favorite summer jams. Released just a few months before the arrival of the first iPod, this is the last Now album to find its home solely in the slot of Walkmans and CD players across the country.
Thirteen years later, we're up to Now 51 and can get any song we want on our smartphones, but that doesn't mean we should forget the pre-selected simplicity Now 7 brought to teen drivers, road trippers and daily commuters back in 2001. To celebrate this compilation's birthday, we checked up on each of the 19 artists that contributed to this mix of boy bands and pop queens.

Lookin' so crazy in love!
Fresh from the stage after her heart-pounding halftime set at the Super Bowl, Beyoncé found support and comfort backstage in the arms of Jay-Z.
Wearing a black robe to cover up her smoking hot leather and lace stage gear, the singer received a giant hug from her husband in a moment that was caught on camera and posted to Instagram.
Beyoncé's Halftime Performance Was Divalicious & Hooftastic
Originally posted 02/04/2013 08:40AM
As soon as she first opened her mouth to do an almost-a cappella bit of "Love on Top," one thing was clear: Beyoncé was singing live.
And that was the case for the rest of her dynamic, divalicious Super Bowl halftime show.
Indeed, by the time Beyoncé slowed it down for the last number, "Halo," you could hear her running out of breath a bit from all the energetic, intricate choreography.
To make it further evident that this was not a repeat of her lip-synching the national anthem at the inauguration two weeks ago, she also punctuated her performance with many exhortations of the crowd for obvious effect.

Super price for a weekend night. Comfortable and great to have an elevator. Nice little ocean view.
Cookies were the lowest point.. . Try a new supplier.
Nice location and overall quality room.
Parking is a bit difficult
Right on the beach. Clean, comfortable rooms. Elevator available. Security.
Never had room cooled to comfort. We like it 60. Even with a/c room temperature was never comfortable.
Fireplace and view.
No bathtub.
The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Facilities are nice and maintained. I like that you are able to pick your breakfast
I had major noise issues with the people above me all night long and because I booked through kayak, all I got from my vacation was no sleep and a 10% off coupon.
Very comfortable and large rooms. The hot breakfast choices are excellent. It is in a good location to get to the beach.
comfort of room
The location, the breakfast, and the spa, and the memories. The staff was above and beyond friendly...even when I had to call them at odd hours. The room was beautiful and I dare anyplace to have a better view.
One of the windows in our room had a few cobwebs, and there was some sand in one of the corners, but the staff quickly fixed the issue.
Supervisor/owner was rude and stated that the fee we paid was too low that rooms are usually $169. Ugly rooms, no real breakfast like stated on their site.
Parking was easy
The room was dirty, there was sticky stuff on the table, it didn't look like the microwave had been cleaned in a while, stains all over the carpet, the bed was like sleeping on the floor with springs, and the filters on the air conditioner were very dirty
Clean, and very large room. The bathroom is clean and in very nice with hot shower. Extremely wonderful continintal breakfast , the best I've ever seen in a hotel . Our stay was also very quiet . Overall very pleasant stay!
It was very clean. And the rates were very good compared to other hotels in the area.
The front desk was a little over barring. She wanted to to charge me $10 for me having my two month old. I pretty much Told her where to go because what in the world is my tiny baby going to use in the hotel? After arguing with her, she decided to let me "slide". I then looked in the guest book inside my room only to find out that children under 10 was free. So she was just pulling that info out of her behind.
Then in the morning the breakfast was supposed to go until 9:30 well at 9:15 there was NOTHING left! They had cleared out the batter mix for the waffle machine and everything. So I got cereal and asked for milk and they acted like it was going to kill them to refill it. The man who was helping in the kitchen and front desk was a drill Sargent I swear. One lady who showed up to breakfast the same time I did only was able to get coffee (so she thought) when she went to turn and walk out of the breakfast area just to be yelled at by the drill Sargent. He said she can't take the coffee out of the area because of health code. Well maybe if breakfast went as long as it was supposed to then she wouldn't of had to take her coffee out of the area.
He then went about his way to yell at the house keeper who was vacuuming the hallway saying "that is a Heath code to be plugged in here". Seriously!?! She was doing her job!!
I stayed here two nights and every time I would see this worker I would walk the other way. Because I was scared he would find something I was doing wrong. This hotel definitely needs to work on its customer service because traveling with a 2 month old is hard enough and not feeling welcome in a place that you paid to stay is ridiculous!!
The pool, and the staff were very friendly.
Large room
The toilet was broken and the maid opened our door and knocked several times during our stay. The toilet at first wouldn't flush so I had to take the back off the tiolet to flush it. We told the front desk and she said if she couldn't fix it she would get a plumber for our room. After she "fixed" the toilet. Pushing the handle down to flush took 2 hands & all my strenth. It was pretty annoying.
Loved everything the hotel offered. Was a great experience
Last breakfast was really cold..
We were treated with a lovely and personable front desk employee. She was really sweet and easy to speak with, and made our group feel right at home. We were there for a funeral but her happy demenor and understanding was so real and caring.
The breakfast area, elevators, and "spa" areas could use some updating. Those felt slightly outdated though thoroughly used.
The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was awesome. RIGHT across the street from the beach which was perfect for us!
Old out of date not well taken care of cand find better for your bang for your buck elsewhere
Nice beachfront location
Comfortable bed
Clean rooms
Did not have tissues in room
Towels are old
Drains are slow
Take your shower early or you won't have hot water
Room was clean and comfortable. Inn was well maintained and staff was friendly.
In room breakfast is lacking. Bagel wrapped in plastic wrap, fruit wrapped in plastic and instant hot chocolate.
Staff was very helpful when we left a few items behind in our fridge and had to go back and get them.
Oceanfront view was nice and the small balcony gave you a great place to enjoy it.
the pool, hot tub and sauna facility was GREAT!
Carpet was a little dated
Loved the view.
appreciated the front desk,taking fifty dollars off the room,for the inconvenience of the people above us. They took it off on their own terms. I didn't even ask for a discount.
The person in the room above us,was very loud and rude.
Beautifully situated by the beach. Room was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. Loved the homemade cookies!
Clean. Room was very well maintained and spacious. Had nice Balcony on 2nd floor. Wait staff in restaurant/bar were excellent in service. We were able to check in early and leave late.
We were in Lincoln City for a basketball tournament. On Sunday, the day of our check out, we had a last minute game. I called to see if we could extend our check out time to one, so I could watch the game. They gladly let us. Nothing but smiles from all the staff.
We booked a room with a fireplace. When we arrived and tried to turn it on it did not work. We were leaving right away for dinner so stopped by at the front desk. They asked if they could have someone fix it while we were out. When we returned later and tried it again it still didn't work. Called front desk and was told someone would be by in 15 minutes. Received a call back in a few minutes that there was no one there to fix it and it would take another hour before they could have someone look at it. They stated that it needed relit and this one happens all the time. I told them to forget about it because we were getting ready for bed. If they knew about the problem then why not fix it correctly?

Objectives: To determine which symptoms of depression are most likely to increase the risk of mortality in a biracial sample of older adults.
Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal study.
Setting: Baseline and mortality follow-up in urban and rural North Carolina.
Participants: Four thousand one hundred sixty-two African-American and white elders aged 65 to 105 at baseline (mean age 73).
Measurements: Sociodemographic and health factors and four subscales of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (negative affect, positive affect, somatic symptoms, and interpersonal function) were determined at baseline (1986–87). Mortality was assessed over 10 years of follow-up (through 1996).
Results: Fifty-one percent of the sample died over the 10-year follow-up. In controlled Cox proportional hazards modeling, those who scored lower on the positive affect scale were significantly more likely to die over the 10-year follow-up (hazard ratio=1.12, 95% confidence interval=1.05–1.18). For those who scored higher on the negative affect scale, the somatic scale, and the interpersonal scale, there was no increased risk for mortality in controlled analyses.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that subjective views of well-being may be more important predictors of mortality in older adults than the classic symptoms of depression, such as negative affect and somatic symptoms.

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
If out of the ordinary is what you're looking for, look no further. Melodic vocal acrobatics and compositions that move from primitive to intricate keep your ear engaged. I bought the CD after hearing the title track on XM Radio. It was one of those songs that intrigued and I had to hear more. The artistry and complexity satisfy, but at the same time the artists and musicians are allowed to perform.

Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by Elizabeth Jackson: Half a century not out!
Overall Member Rating
Half a century not out!
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
We booked this cruise to celebrate my 50th birthday. On checking in we arrived on board and made our way to the poolside area where it was very hectic and loud music was playing - it was the welcome party. We were tired after a long day of travelling and so were a bit jaded - forgive the pun! We were wondering if this was the tone of what was ahead.
Needn't have worried, although breakfast time is busy and you may have to share a table with other passengers, you still have the option of waiter service in the Grand Pacific Restaurant where it is much quieter and you can have your own table.
All in all the boat, staff, accommodation, food and entertainment were top knotch. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely book again with NCL.
Personally we liked the mix on nationalities on board the ship it added to the experience. Yes the drinks are pricey but they include service charges and they are not that much different to hotel prices in the UK. You will More not find friendlier or more attentive staff. Less

2016 Senior Edition]]>
May 20, 2016 Image]]>
After an 11-8 loss to Cor Jesu on May 16, the Lady Lancers lacrosse team ended the season with a 18-3-1 record, the best since the 1999-2000 season.
Cor Jesu has become a problem for Lafayette as they have had recent success against the Lady Lancers after beating them last year on the same date as this year, May 16.
Despite being knocked out by the Chargers again, the team had resounding success this year and had some premier players as well. One of those players being Maria Johnson who scored 113 goals which puts her in first for goals scored in the St. Louis area. Also, Taryn Brewer had a phenomenal season with a 18-2-1 record as the goalie for Lafayette.
"Most of the girls on this year's team have put a lot of time into the off-season to improve their game year around," head coach Carrie Guenzler said. "On a daily basis, our very young, enthusiastic team worked hard at practices with a sense of self-motivation and regulation that I haven't before had the privilege to see."
The team had six seniors out of 21 players this year. Among those were Ellie Alicea, Maria Johnson, Raina Kabra, Maggie McDaniel, Aubrey McRae and Shelby Robbe. Although the Lady Lancers will lose a talented group of seniors, there are 9 juniors and a handful of sophomores with varsity experience already that are ready to pick up where the team left off this year.
"Although we lost to Cor Jesu, I believe we were all very confident in our ability to capture a State Championship. Unfortunately we, the second ranked team, had to play the first ranked team in just the second of five rounds of playoffs, hence our loss. But, we still know that we are a top state contender and are proud of the amazing regular season we've just put in the books," Guenzler said.
Be sure to follow up with the Lafayette girls lacrosse team next year as they are set to have another solid season.]]>
Lafayette hasn't lost a game since April 16, in over a month. In that span, they have improved their record to 33-3 and have yet to drop a single set since their last loss. They have also climbed the rankings to become the first ranked team in the stlhighschoolsports.com ranking (per this article).
They are also the second ranked team (according to www.maxpreps.com) in the state behind SLUH, a team that the Lancers have gone 1-1 with and was their most recent loss.
The team won their most recent game against Francis Howell in two sets: 25-19 and 25-22. In the first set, the two teams were deadlocked until the score was 14-14. The Lancers went on a 6-2 run and never looked back, leading the rest of the set by no less than three.
In the second set, the Lancers found themselves down 15-13, but Alex Gettinger and Nick Lavanchy helped to lead the team back and ultimately win the set.
Despite being down in the set, the Lancers never lost their winning mentality.
"You don't ever go into a set thinking you're going to lose, and as you get deeper in the set and get down you gotta fight through the points, fight through whatever errors you went through earlier, keep the ball in play and put the ball down when you get the chance," Gettinger said.
The Lancers face DeSmet in the next round. DeSmet is a team that has finally broken their quarterfinals losing streak of years past, but also they have already lost to the Lancers once this year.
Since the last time the two teams have faced, a few things have changed. Previously, DeSmet did not have their best middle hitter, giving a change in the roster that the Lancers last faced. In addition, since their last match on April 8, both teams have improved, and both teams have won several more key games.
The game is on Thursday, May 19 at 5:30 p.m at Lindenwood.]]>
The Lafayette Lancers boy's lacrosse season ended Monday, May 16, with a playoff loss to the Marquette Mustangs.
The Lancers finished their regular season with a record of five wins and 11 losses. Lafayette had a difficult schedule including local lacrosse juggernauts, like MICDS and CBC, and lost some close games against Ladue, Vianney and others.
Against Marquette on Monday, Lafayette put up 12 points but had a lacking fourth quarter, resulting in a 15-12 Marquette win.
"We were up by two in the third quarter, but Marquette scored eight goals in the fourth quarter," Drew Feltz said.
Feltz attributes the loss to a shortage of players and generally lacking performance in the fourth quarter.
Looking to next year, Feltz says the loss of this year's seniors won't have a huge impact on the team as there are relatively few senior players. Feltz also said the team is looking towards new players to fill positions like FOGO (face-off, get-off) among others.
"We're going to do some summer camps to get better and really use the off-season to improve," Feltz said.]]>
Every student in the school has it. A school email account is assigned to each students at the beginning of their learning careers. These accounts are through Google, which gives students not only access to Gmail, but also the other programs such as Docs, Drive, etc.
While these programs are open to all Google users with accounts, Google Classroom is provided only to educators and students. That being said, a student's Rockwood-Google account is employed continually throughout his or her years in school. Papers, projects, lessons and links to helpful study websites can be found in these accounts. As the technology of the 21st Century advances, more and more people and schools are turning to technology. Many projects are turned in online and are sometimes not presented to the teacher in a hard-copy form. Because of this, most students store their entire high school career's worth of assignments on their Drive, rather in a plethora of binders.
It is not uncommon for college students to refer to some of their high school notes or assignments for help. Since a large amount of these things are located on the Drive, are they accessible? What happens to students' Google accounts after they graduate? Are they still able to access them once they no longer attend the school?
Well, according to the Rockwood Technology Department, students have two weeks after graduation to use their accounts. After that, the Gmail accounts are terminated, and students will no longer be able to access or use the email or the services.

I'm not writing to impune or demean the integrity of this company, but just the facts of my experience. I brought my 86 chevy motorhome in twice this year and, the most recent dropoff to have the following repaired,replaced and troubleshooted or tested: 1.Carb adjustment 2.Timing adjustment 3.Vacuum lines 4.Horn 5.Exhaust manifold welded/repaired 6.Governor plate gasket leak on transmission Well, when I brought it in I relayed to Kevin at the front desk the following things I needed fixed. When I picked up I didn't see any of those things listed on the invoice for except the carb adjustment, timing, and the exhaust manifold. So, I asked Kevin to explain what they did and he was reading off some other notes and told me that they specifically had replaced the gasket for the governor plate and sealed the leak. Finally, the bill totaled $570.00 basically to weld the emission holes on the exhaust because, I paid for them to do the timing,carb adjustment, and vacuum repair/re-routing on the first invoice from my previous visit. When I talked to Mike he told me that they didn't do the repair and that it was a misunderstanding. It wasn't my misunderstanding, I told him because, Kevin told me the work they had performed. Also, the Check Engine light stays on and it wasn't before. He said I would have to bring it in to replace the gasket on the governor plate and, it would probably cost me about a hundred bucks maybe less. I told them that if they was going to patch it I could do it myself. And I might add that we discussed the cost of replacing the exhaust manifolds verses repairing them and I could of bought new exhaust manifolds for about $250. for the pair but, I had trouble locating the exact fit for sure. My main concern is not the price necessarily, but the principle that I was told it was fixed, and now I have to pay additional cost and bring it back again to have them fix the engine light which, I will have to pay for that was previously turning off. They were supposed to tie off the old emission wiring to keep the engine light from making a contact and showing an error. So, they didn't complete the job. The engine seems to be running properly but, there does seem to be a minor exhaust leak persisting but not real noticable till you accelerate. The Mechanics do seem to be knowledgable and know how to fabricate and repair. I wish they would of stood behind their own words and finished the job as I was told!
Recently decided to take my Windstar mini-van to Kenneth's on the recommendation of a neighbor. The back-up sensors have not worked in quite some time despite several Kingwood area shops charging for repairs that either didn't work or didn't last along with calling me mid-repair to tell me I needed a tune-up!!!!!!! "A tune-up? what? I thought I wanted my back-up sensors fixed!". I called Mike at Kenneth's and was told I could bring my van in the following day. I went in the next morning, checked in the van and decided to try and wait on the repair. After sitting there awhile one thing I noticed was the lack of the typical cheesy "marketing" attitudes most repair shops tend to have, fake smiles and catch words like "free" or "lifetime warranty". Mike seemed to be very straightforward, professional and honest with the customers and I never heard him try to "sell" anything while I sat there silently observing, I thought to myself, "how weird is this? you mean to tell me they actually fix what needs fixed, charge for it and stand behind the repair?" Anyway, an hour went by and I was informed that there was a loose connection at one of the sensors, they renewed the connection and the system was functioning. The repair only cost me about $100 and it's been working great for several weeks now. If you need your car repaired and expect to pay a reasonable price then go to Kenneth's, you will only get what you (your car) needs.
Kenneth's was recommended to me by my neighbor right after we moved here just over 2 years ago. However, my cars have been working in top shape since so I admit, I forgot his advice. After my son started driving we've had issues. After hydro-planing off the road he damaged the front end of his car. We went around and received 3 estimates and boy what an eye opener! We settled for the cheapest and have been leery since. When my car was struck in a parking lot I remembered Kenneth's and found out yes they do body work. This is when they came back into mind. They gave me the lowest quote on repairing my car out of all the quotes I received. Then my son blew a head gasket. This time Kenneth's was my first and only call. They quoted me after diagnosing the gasket and once complete, they came in right at their quote (+tax of course). I have a high degree of confidence in the repair and they will be my go to car shop as long as I live here. Thanks for the customer service and job well done!
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

MasterCard and Europay International have integrated security measures for smart card issuers in Europe with e-commerce and mobile-commerce security standards.
MasterCard International and Europay International announced today they have integrated security measures for smart card issuers in Europe with e-commerce and mobile-commerce security standards. MasterCard's member financial institutions will now be able to offer one solution for authenticating Europay-Visa-MasterCard smart card cardholders using MasterCard's new Universal Cardholder Authentication Field, or UCAF, worldwide payment standard. UCAF is a new security infrastructure that provides a globally interoperable method for collecting cardholder authentication data through all channels including the Internet and mobile devices. MasterCard developed UCAF to guarantee payment to online merchants by presenting, collecting and exchanging cardholder authentication information--such as a passwords or PINs--generated by issuers and cardholders. The merchant and its acquirer send the security and transaction information to the card issuer to ensure that the actual cardholder is making the purchase.
MasterCard integrated the UCAF and EMV solutions because the association supports 90 EMV smart card projects in Europe. Europay, MasterCard and Visa developed EMV smart card standards in the 1990s in order to allow smart cards to work interoperably worldwide. The standard includes specific encryption methods that are common to all EMV-issued cards. MasterCard says that with the UCAF integration, EMV smart cards can be used with PC readers for online transactions, utilizing both the hardware encryption from the smart card chip and the password authentication through UCAF to secure payments. To ensure that the payment guarantee takes hold, MasterCard has implemented UCAF messaging requirements in its global authorization network and has mandated member financial institutions to support the system by April.

Ohio State football: Former players to line up in support | BuckeyeXtra
There are 182 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Jul 28, 2011, titled Ohio State football: Former players to line up in support | BuckeyeXtra. In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:"I just don't like the idea of being let go. I think the world of the man, and he did a hell of a job for us." - Pandel Savic, 86, quarterback of OSU's 1949 Big Ten championship team John Hicks grew weary of talking heads criticizing Ohio State and its football program, so he decided to do something about it.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Columbus Dispatch.
#1 Jul 28, 2011
Savic is right. Tressel was treated badly, and unfairly, by OSU and by the media, including this paper front and center. One only has to read the NCAA transcript to see that. I too am 100% behind Luke Fickel. As for this paper, it has lost my respect.
Since: Sep 09
#2 Jul 28, 2011
The passage of time and only the passage of time will eventually bring Jim Tressel back into the light. Er, well, a loss to Brady Hoke this November might also speed up the growth of Tressel's stock in these parts as well.
Without question the discontent and anger fueled by the events of the last 6 months has split the Buckeye nation into various camps. Some are ashamed and embarrassed to be Ohio State fans, and some think this entire saga has been totally overblown. Most fall somewhere in the middle. I remain totally at a loss for words toward those who have reached the determination that Jim Tressel's overall character and depth as a human being has been fair game throughout this saga? Where in the world does that come from - particularly from writers and others who never met Tressel or his terrific wife Ellen?
I'm not sure if that's a reflection of our current day vitriolic culture or just a bi-product of the Internet's ability to bring out the worst from anonymous posters -- or online sportswriters & bloggers seeking to satisfy self-interests that have little to do with Jim Tressel or Ohio State.
The Tressel - Tattoo scandal or whatever, has brought our collective character under a magnifying glass and it hasn't been a pretty sight.
#3 Jul 28, 2011
I see 2 things wrong with doing this during the season opener given Hicks' remarks:
1)(paraphrasing) "Oh, we support Coach Fickell but we're going to be out there en masse to protest the firing of Tressel." Sorry, this is double-talk.
2) The Tunnel of Pride was created as a motivator for what was once the biggest game of the season. Don't cheapen it with a double-speak protest.
Personally, I'd love to see those former players out there before every home game. But, it has been considered something special and this seems like the wrong venue.
Go Bucks!
#4 Jul 28, 2011
Very very proud to be a Buckeye fan of over 5o years. Very proud of the football player alumni for doing this for Coach Tressel. He paid a huge price for his mistakes, but the former football players appreciate all that he has done for the football program, the University, and the community outside OSU.
Thank you John Hicks for organizing this showing of support and appreciation for Coach Tressel, the 2011 Buckeye football team and the coaching staff.
Only 37 more days until the opening kickoff to the 2011 football season. Can't wait.
#5 Jul 28, 2011
Great for them! Proud to see someone stand up to this nonsense. Hope they pull together to get Gene Smith thrown out for his continual lies. Trustees-are you listening to the people??? Do your job and stop just sitting around.
United States
#6 Jul 28, 2011
Apparently with age doesn't come wisdom. OSU's coach was fired entirely because of his own actions. He was in a position of authority and didn't do his job. Some fans don't expect much for $4,000,000.
Clearly ESPN has some bizarre irrational hatred of OSU, and its ex coach. But on the opposite extreme, Sweater Vest fans have chosen jury nullification blaming student athletes, lawyers, administrators and anyone else at OSU but him.
#7 Jul 28, 2011
When you sign a kid that is a moron, you placed your chips and you have to accept the outcome. Next time maybe go for someone with some character if that even exists anymore.
#8 Jul 28, 2011
Maybe you meant to post your comment to a different story appearing in today's sports section?
#9 Jul 28, 2011
A couple of thoughts....
1) This tunnel of pride is in support of the team, coaching staff, OSU, and former coach Tressel and there is nothing wrong when it comes from the heart.
2)ESPN and its reporting slant comes from the fact they they no longer own all the rights to a bunch of Big Ten games due to Fox and the Big Ten network its a simple as that.
#10 Jul 28, 2011
Any fan should appreciate what Tressel did for Ohio State during his career. At the same time, I think these guys should focus on the season and start to move on. Lets focus on this season, bringing up the negatives from the off-season shifts the focus off the 2011 season.
#11 Jul 28, 2011
When you lie, you risk losing your job. Tressel lied and lost his job. Everyone can blame Pryor, but if Tressel tells the truth and does the right thing, he keeps his job. He didn't get shafted and those that say otherwise are deluding themselves and setting a poor example for others, including their children.
#12 Jul 28, 2011
Kudos to John Hicks and former atheletes of OSU in showing true Buckeye fans what really matters.
#13 Jul 28, 2011
Agreed, Pryor and Tressel are gone (thank goodness Pryor is! What a load of trouble!). Whatever was right and wrong, it is time to move on.
#14 Jul 28, 2011
OSU has a football team? Huh.....who knew?
Since: Jun 11
Location hidden
#15 Jul 28, 2011
I didn't get the impression the tunnel had anything to do with Tressel. That seemed more of a side note. The tunnel for the first game is to show support for the remaining team by the former players.
#16 Jul 28, 2011
I think the plaaned show of support is for the program in totality, not just Coach Tressel who has been a great part of it. I think very highly of Luke Fickell and believe he will do us proud. The demonstration should inspire and remind him of the great responsibility that comes with his new job.
Look no further than todays news from Carolina to see how firing coaches has become the popular solution for universities to give the appearance to the NCAA that they are "doing something" in hopes of gaining leniency. It's a shame the AD's and university administrations don't have the backbone to support their coaches in the same fashion the coaches support their players and the school.
I for one plan to be wearing my red vest on opening day and am proud to say that I can see the bigger picture of who and what Jim Tressel stands for. For those that disagree, I submit that, "it's far easier to be opinionated than it is to be informed" -- Read the Tressel testimony transcript and reach your own informed conclusion instead of blindly letting the media to become your brain.
#17 Jul 28, 2011
It is about time we Buckeyes join together in a manner of support for the Coach. Much of the embarrassment has been generated by the school management including the AD & his staff!!
God bless you coach!!
#18 Jul 28, 2011
Well isnt that special ...oliars and cheats gathering to celebrate the King Cheater and Liar....Roll on Big O!
we all know OlieO St is the VICTIME HERE
#19 Jul 28, 2011
Your comment misses some obvious points. First is that the fan base finds no satisfaction or bragging rights in fielding a team comprised of honor roll, high character kids --- unless of course they get the W's,
Second is that many times these so-called morons (your words) can turn out to be diamonds in the rough once they are polished by the right hands. It is obvious that true coaches (especially the Woody's and Tressel's of the world), take great pride in shaping the entire human being, not just the football player. That brings with it an element of risk but more often a great sense of reward for people who are motivated by positively changing and shaping young lives. Fixing a problem takes more talent than fixing the blame.
