LILBURN, Ga. (AP) -- Crew members have demolished a home after three children died in a fire last year stemming from a suspected meth operation.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that crews knocked down the home Wednesday morning and expect to clear the area the next day.
Police believe at least one of the three suspects was cooking meth when the blaze occurred.
The children who died in the Feb. 17, 2011 fire were 4-year-old Issac Guevara, 3-year-old Ivan Guevara and 18-month-old Stacy Brito.
Neibi Brito, the 23-year-old mother of the deceased children, was charged with three counts of felony murder and one count of trafficking methamphetamine.
Joseph A. Perez, who was arrested six days after the fire, faces the same charges as Brito. Police are still searching for the third suspect, Ivan Gonzalez.

Re: Why did my equifax score drop 12 points
perfectscore wrote:
My transunion score in August 2011 was 732 and equifax was 725. I just pulled my credit report today 1/10/2012 and my transunion stayed at 732 but my equifax is at 713. The only change that I see is that my credit card balance has been zero for a few months. Does not using credit cards and maintaining zero balance hurt your credit score?
Welcome to the forums.
As a matter of fact showing all zero balances all the time will hurt your score. I know that seems counter productive but that's the way it is. It seems like what helps most people is to only have one of their credit card accounts report a small (<9% of it's credit limit) each month and let any other CC accounts report a zero balance.
From a BK years ago to:

Beginning May 31 and ending Aug. 12, 2016, free summer lunch will be provided to all children 1 to 18 years old who are present at lunch service locations and in line to be served. Lunch will be available Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (no service on July 4) at the following locations in Rio Rancho:
Lunch will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and all food must be consumed on-site.
Lunches that are served follow current U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, which include a daily serving of milk, vegetable or fruit juice, daily meat sandwich or meat alternate such as chicken nuggets, daily grains/breads or crackers, and a daily serving of either fruit or vegetables.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally funded program operated nationally by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered at the state level by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department. The city of Rio Rancho, which applied to be a local sponsor of the program, receives funding from the SFSP to purchase lunches and distribute them to children. Meals are prepared and purchased from Rio Rancho Public Schools and Sodexo.
During the school year, nutritious meals are available for children through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. However, those programs end when school lets out for the summer. SFSP helps children in lower income areas get the nutrition they need to learn, play and grow throughout the summer months when school is not in session. The meal sites that will be utilized are in close proximity to Rio Rancho schools where 50 percent of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price school meals.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities).
The SFSP was launched in Rio Rancho in 2009. Last year, 33,576 lunches were provided. The city of Rio Rancho's program has been honored previously by the state's Children, Youth and Families Department with several awards which included recognition as the state's program of the year, excellence in program record keeping, extraordinary monitoring efforts, outstanding outreach efforts, and for outstanding efforts to increase total meals served.

Good Luck, You Say
For Round 7 of our contest, we asked you to send us original works of fiction that have a character come to town and someone leave town.
Emma's frustration couldn't get her across the river fast enough. She blasted the radio to hear over the din of traffic. Her voice was silenced when a truck ahead smashed a compact into a van a few cars ahead. She felt like that little car until she joined the cluster of red lights, breaking her connection to Springsteen's Born to Run. Gridlock was completed with another truck jackknifing across all three lanes heading into town. She shuddered at the sound of screeching brakes and metal crunching. Five years of crossing the bridge trained her to shut off the engine while leaving the radio on.
Four feet from Emma was a black Accord stopped on its way into town. Mark kept his windows shut and jabbed at cell buttons to get a news report. He didn't like his welcome to Wilmington. He had made good time from Raleigh and looked forward to a long lunch. He had been excited about his new teaching position. His short board was on the roof, with his bike in pieces in the back seat with a couple bags. Mark heard helicopters overhead and sirens, but couldn't find a local radio station. He saw an open window next to him and rolled down his.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Emma turned off her radio and said, "Welcome to Wilmington."
"What's going on?," he repeated now that he had her attention. He was intrigued by the music and the voice.
"You lucked out with the Daily Double. Truck accidents in both directions, we could be here for hours; hope you aren't in a hurry." He couldn't see behind her sunglasses. "Listen, here's another update." She turned up the radio for him.
". . . Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is locked tight this morning. We have two truck accidents backing-up all lanes. Police report delays of at least four hours. You can avoid traffic by taking the Isabel Holmes Bridge for the remainder of the afternoon."
"Are you kidding me!?" Mark didn't mean to yell, but he had never heard of an accident taking that long to clear.
"You aren't from around here, are you?"
"I was hoping to move here, but this sucks."
"You get used to it." She opened her door, grabbed a water bottle with her keys, and stepped out of her car. She had flats on but her legs went on forever under a fiery sundress. Her bare arms were muscled and freckled. She had a big floppy hat with a sunflower over her long curly black hair. She reached in the back seat for a towel and a book to stretch out on the trunk. She opened her book.
"Why aren't you working?," he asked before she could find her place.
"School system let me go after five years. I'm headed to a new job at a charter school in Myrtle Beach." She turned to face him. He felt a lump in his throat.
"Where did you teach?"
"I taught science and math at Jesse Helms Middle School." She sighed, "The principal and I had philosophical differences."
"What exactly does that mean?"
"It means you don't belong in my gated community."
"Ouch." Mark wasn't sure what to say. "You aren't talking about Mr. George are you?"
"Why do you ask?" She put her book down.
He looked down, "I guess I'm your replacement."
"Good luck." She looked for her place, then looked up. "You shoot hoops?"
"Yah, so?"
"Stay with the team, keep up with parents that fund the PTA, arrive early, stay late, and you'll be fine."

Customs Minister Nicky Wagner confirmed the cash detector dog
team would now number five following the addition of Kane,
who will work at Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin
Detector dogs have sniffed out more than $2.5 million of
undeclared or concealed cash at the border since starting
work 10 months ago.
The largest find was at Auckland Airport in October when a
detector dog led Customs officers to discover $390,000 on two
Travellers carrying more than $10,000 must declare it.
If people did not declare the money, they might have to
forfeit it and pay a fine, depending on the circumstances,
she said.
Three cash detector dogs are based in Auckland and one in
All five dogs area also trained to detect drugs.

We're delighted that you are planning a return to Grounds this spring. If you are traveling with children or grandchildren, please know that they are welcome at Reunion. When you arrive on Grounds and check in, you will find activities in the lobby to occupy them while you pick up your registration packet, catch up with friends or learn about new initiatives from various Darden departments. The Barbecue and Field Day on Saturday is planned with children in mind, offering moon bounces, face painting, crafts and room to play. Nursing moms in need of a quiet space should stop by our registration desk for assistance.
For your convenience, we are pleased to offer complimentary child care services for children older than 6 weeks and younger than 10 years on Friday (6:30 - 11 p.m.) and Saturday (4:30 - 11 p.m.) evenings. We have contracted with the U.Va. Child Development Center, a licensed and insured facility, located less than a mile from Grounds. The Center will offer dinner on both nights, age-appropriate activities and sleeping arrangements for young children. Parents do not need to bring pack-n-plays for their children. Any food or breast milk should be clearly labeled with the first and last name and the date, and may be stored in refrigerators on site. There are two buildings, so families will be assigned based on whether infant/toddler care is needed; we will keep older children with their younger siblings, though the infant/toddler center is better equipped for children under two.
Please indicate your need for child care when you submit your reunion registration online or by mail. Space is limited, so please register early. If you elect to use the complimentary child care you will have to complete the emergency release form, as well as provide a recent photo of your child. Directions to the facilities will be provided before you arrive on Grounds. Please note that it is the center's policy, and for the safety of the children, not to release children to parents whom they feel may be intoxicated.
If you prefer to secure private child care at your hotel room, you may consider using a babysitter from a list provided by the U.Va. School of Nursing or other local sources. To obtain the list, please contact the Office of Enagagement at +1-434-243-8977.
While in Charlottesville, you may find the Charlottesville Family website helpful for kid-friendly activities, parks and playground locations and more.
Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

This is great for embroidery or book reading. My only wish is that the neck was more flexible, other than that it is bright and does the job.

And just like that, another year has come and gone. Hopefully you can look back on the last twelve months and praise God for how he has worked in your life and ministry. Now is a good time to think back on all you didn't know at this time last year—and ask God to prepare you for all that he has in store for 2012!
At BuildingChurchLeaders.com, we've had a busy year of preparing resources to help you grow your ministry, your staff, and your personal relationship with Christ. Here are 2011's top 10 most downloaded resources:
10. Church Staff Evaluations - Best Church Practices
Evaluations are an essential way to help employees grow in their careers while keeping the church healthy. This download includes objectives, goals, and forms for evaluating church staff members.
9. How to Last as a Leader - Practical Ministry Skills
As busy church leaders, it can be easy to neglect our own spiritual lives in the name of ministry—there is always more work to be done. It is important to take time to understand your own limits so you can set yourself up for a long, fruitful ministry.
8. Discipling Teens - Practical Ministry Skills
As we continue to hear alarming reports of young adults leaving the church in record numbers, teen discipleship has never been more essential to the life of the church—and it is not limited to those designated as youth leaders. In fact, youth ministry expert Chap Clark suggests there should be at least five adults investing in the life of each youth group member in some way.
7. Cultivating Long-Term Volunteers - Practical Ministry Skills
Volunteers are essential to any successful ministry. But all too often the pressures of ministry lead to quick burnout. A good leader must learn to work alongside his or her volunteers to help keep that enthusiasm alive, feeding both the ministry and the volunteers themselves.
6. Combo Pack: Essentials for Church Staffing - Focused Training Collection
Four essential resources in one (discounted) package! Find everything you need for hiring, evaluating, and dealing with your church staff in one easy place.
5. Leading as an Introvert - Practical Ministry Skills
Many introverts feel they are at a disadvantage when it comes to ministry. This download offers a wealth of insights into how introverts who lead in the church can understand their own gifting and calling, how they can guard against fatigue and burnout, and how they can lead the people around them, extroverts and introverts alike.
4. Premarital Counseling - Practical Ministry Skills
Many pastors are called upon to lead couples through premarital counseling. Use this resource to help them lay the foundation for strong, God-honoring marriages.
3. Reaching Millennials Who Leave the Faith - Practical Ministry Skills
Strengthen your church's evangelistic impact to young adults who have walked away from the faith—and develop your ministry to keep them from leaving in the first place.
2. Combo Pack: Newcomers in Your Church - Focused Training Collection
Learn how your church can best welcome and retain its visitors and newcomers—five great resources for one low price.
1. Spiritual Disciplines for Busy Church Leaders - Practical Ministry Skills
It's so easy to get lost in the frantic pace of ministry that sometimes we neglect our own spiritual lives. The practice of personal spiritual disciplines invigorates your personal relationships with God as well as your ministry.

An Apache webserver running a mod_perl application is exposing abnormal memory usage - after the "day load" ceases, the system's memory is being exhausted by the Apache processes and oom_killer is being invoked. As the load returns the following morning, the memory usage normalizes - probably because Apache workers get recycled periodically if a sufficient number of hits is generated:
This is the graph for apache hits per second to correlate:
The remaining 2 hits per second throughout the night are induced by HAProxy checks - it runs
HEAD http://mydomain.example.com/running HTTP/1.0 requests against the server every half a second with "running" being a static file (i.e. not invoking any perl code). It also seems that disabling these checks remedies the memory usage problem, but obviously cannot be a solution.
All of 3 similarly configured servers (behind HAProxy) expose this behavior. The running OS is Ubuntu 10.10, Apache version 2.2.16. This seems to be a memory leak but I have no idea how to start debugging it - any hints?

Feature request...
I would like improved usability in the Edit Timestamp area, where you can back-date or forward-date a post.
When I am in Month, I should press TAB and it would go to Day, then TAB to Year. But the TAB doesn't work for me here, I must mouse-click each of them.
I forget to check the "Edit Timestamp" and then I get no confirmation that my post sorted to today instead of the date I entered. If the user begins to input a date by-hand, anything other than the default (current time), it should automatically be Edit Timestamp. Why check a box?
Thank you for working to improve WordPress! Just one user's request.

Pricing Info - Top Quality Cabinets
Pricing linear foot cabinetry has a lot of factors involved. This also happens to be one of the most popular questions provided to us so I want to provide as much preliminary information regarding this part of the project as I can.
Everything obviously starts with the customer's budget, which is known by the customer. As the San Antonio custom cabinet builder and business man, it is my part to price our cabinets appropriately and in such a way that allows us to remain in business for years to come.
To stay in business, we obviously have your typical business expenses such as overhead, labor and materials along with some other related expenses such as marketing, applicable insurance, etc… And then a healthy business should be able to turn a reasonable business profit in the process of doing business.
So with these things in mind, it is my main goal, to price our cabinets with a fair market value for the product that we provide. I do believe that we provide a very positive value for the cost of what we provide. I believe this to be true because of the level of quality and craftsmanship placed into each and every job we complete. And in my personal opinion, we do offer very competitive pricing but remain fair.
We utilize a base price for linear feet of custom cabinet with knotty Alder listed as the included species of lumber at entry level price. The knotty Alder is stained and we include a clear coat Pre Cat lacquer finish that dries to a very hard enamel finish.
Other wood species available would be charged as an upgrade.
Our basic cabinet includes a lot of features that other cabinet makers might consider upgrades or chargeable features such as:
- Free detailed bid proposals,
- Free design assistance
- Free 3D renditions provided to scale
- ¾" all wood UV coated plywood construction
- full extension under mount soft close drawer glides
- Soft close doors
- Crown molding
- Finished panels on visible cabinet ends
- Various trim options such as under-side moldings on upper cabinets
- Natural clear Pre Cat lacquer finish
- Stain color per custom choice
- Clear glass panels
- Adjustable shelving
- Customizable features such as cabinet heights varied
- Waste and recycling pull out container with soft close feature
Upgrades are available at a minimum cost:
- Pull out tray system for base and tall cabinets
- Pull out spice rack
- Lazy Suzan accessories
- Blind base accessories
- Decorative glass panels
- Dovetail drawers for both strength and beauty
- Wine racks
- Finished panels on visible ends of cabinets
- Stemware racks
- Custom range hoods
- Feature lighting
- Drawer and door pulls/knobs
- Appliance lifts
In order to ensure accuracy we prefer to perform a detailed and well outlined bid for every job in order to provide a fair bid based on accurate calculations.

best buyThe best the money can get. Smoothness is wonderfull. Once you hold the pen. You would feel amazing. The pens from luxor are of very good quality. You cant resist having them. Buying pen of little heavy weight is not everyone's choice. I would suggest go for it.

Excellent PenThe pen worth more than its price. It looks good and very comfortable for writing. Come inside a nice case. If you love to write using heavy ball pens and your budget is below 350, go for it. Much better than pens from Parker or any other companies in this price range. Refill cost around 20 rupees.

Researchers say dogs may be as discerning as humans when it comes to musical preference
Stop for a minute and listen to what is going on around you.
Maybe the television or the radio is on. Maybe your children are yelling at each other. Maybe the microwave is beeping, or your cell phone is ringing. Maybe you have a window open and you can hear the sounds of traffic or the songs of birds.
Our world is filled with sound, but we don't often stop to think about what it means. Joshua Leeds does. Leeds is an authority on psychoacoustics the study of the effects of music and sound on the human nervous system.
"Sound," he says, "is a potent energy that should not be taken for granted."
Over the past few decades, the San Francisco area-based researcher says, studies have found that sound particularly affects our human body pulses brain waves, heart rate and breath. It does this, he says, through three specific processes: resonance (the ability of one vibration to alter another), entertainment (the ability of periodic rhythms to speed up or slow down our pulses) and auditory pattern identification (sending the brain into an active or passive mode).
But it is not only our human brain that reacts that way. Recently, Leeds and veterinary neurologist Susan Wagner have begun studying the effects of sound on dogs.
It all started, Leeds said in a telephone interview from his Bay-area home, when a pianist named Lisa Spector came to him. She also raised foster puppies for the Guide Dogs for the Blind program and had noticed that when she played certain music on her 9-foot Steinway, the rambunctious 16-week-old puppies would tumble under the piano and fall into a calm and gentle sleep. She asked Leeds about making an album of classical music for dogs.
At first Leeds was skeptical. He had visions of, as he says, "my reputation going to the dogs." But the more he looked into it, the more he became intrigued. And the more he researched, the more he began to believe that sound particularly certain kinds of music does affect other species.
He came across research by an Irish scientist named Deborah Wells, who had conducted a study in dog shelters and found that classical music created notable relaxation in canines, while heavy-metal music resulted in more agitated behavior.
Wells concluded: "It is well established that music influences our moods. Classical music, for example, can reduce levels of stress, whilst grunge music can promote hostility, sadness, tension and fatigue. It is now believed that dogs may be as discerning as humans when it comes to musical preference."
Leeds admitted he was still a little dubious. "I'd never seen a dog pant, tap a paw or wag a paw in rhythm. Would it be possible to change a dog's heart rate or brainwaves with the use of external rhythms?"
That was when Leeds hooked up with Wagner, and over the next two years they did clinical trials in animal shelters, kennels and homes.
"I was fascinated by the concept," Wagner said in a telephone chat from her home in Ohio. "I'm a veterinarian, but I'm also a musician. I've always loved music. We took four different CDs out to be tested, and the results were remarkable. I couldn't believe the differences."
The psychoacoustic music that had the most profound effect on the dogs, Leeds said, was "very slow and simple arrangements played on a single instrument, specifically the piano. We found that normal classical music was calming, but our rearranged music had twice the effect. We found that the canine nervous system reacts the same as humans to tone, rhythm and pattern."
Leeds and Wagner have written a book on their research called "Through a Dog's Ear" (Sounds True Publishing, $18.95) and have produced three CDs of music.

Photo Details
in Vermont USA
Mark Bramlette "Kansas: a cyclopedia of state history etc." (Blackmar, ed., Vol. II), mentions a S. M. Tucker of Wichita who raised "a company of 50 men for Indian service" around 1874. Is this Judge Tucker?
Feb 12, 2004 · Reply
Mark Bramlette [external link] say: S. Morton Tucker, a native of Vermont, came to Union County, Ohio, when small, with his parents, who settled in Union Township. He read law with Cole & Coats, commencing about the summer of 1850, and was admitted to the bar in 1852. In the fall of the latter year he removed to Lewis, Cass Co., Iowa. Afterward lived at Atchison, Kan., from which place he enlisted in the army, although having some years before lost his left hand by the premature discharge of a cannon at a Fourth of July celebration at Bridgeport, Union County, a man named Simpson being badly maimed at the game time. Mr. Tucker served as a Lieutenant during the war, and afterward located at Fort Scott, Kan., where he is now engaged in the practice of his profession.

Cephalexin - is this a drug that can be abused by teens?
- Posted:
- 21 Sep 2010 by angiewalsh
- Topics:
- cephalexin
Answers (1)

No, cephalexin isn't something that can be abused by teens. It is in a group of drugs called cephalosporin antibiotics and is used to fight bacteria in the body. It works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall formation, causing it to rupture, and killing the bacteria.
Cephalexin is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, including upper respiratory infections, ear infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.

"Norm Chow was a big part of my decision too because he is one of the best quarterback coaches out there and he will teach me everything he knows"
I don't expect Coach Chow to be with the Utes for more than a couple of years. what I do hope and beleive is that he'll establish a strong offensive system and bring in several blue chip QB's.
Looks like we've got one....expect more.

"We noted -- INCORRECTLY -- that Utah had beaten California for the rugby
national championship... Actually, the Utes beat the Bears last June in an
invitational 7-vs-7 tournament -- 31-26 in overtime -- after the college season
was over."
"From the sports information offices in Berkeley: "It was branded as a 'championship' but it was not -- that name was co-opted by the organizers and, in fact, NBC Sports, which televised it."
"Speaking of rugby, football's crazy uncle, this Saturday the 2011 national semifinals take place in Glendale, Colo."
From Berkeley: "These are for berths in college rugby's real title match."
Typical of the Utes trying to claim a "national championship" for something that really wasn't. Makes you wonder how many of those "81 national championships" the Utes cite on their promo really were "national championships." For example, 1944.
Good luck BYU and Utah this Saturday. It would be fun to see the Cougars and Utes square off for the real rugby national championship.

Blue chip recruit hedgie?
Travis Wilson, 6-6, 210 lbs, Class of 2012
Rivals users gave him 4 stars; Rivals didn't give him any.
Scout gave him 3 stars.
Strengths: Release, Size
Weaknesses: Accuracy/Consistency, Arm Strength, Running Ability/Mobility
"Wilson has a terrific frame and a good release to get rid of the ball quickly. He is a good athlete who puts up decent rushing numbers on the high school level, but not much of a running threat on the college level. He shows good touch on the deep ball and is accurate underneath, but his accuracy breaks down on the intermediate passes in which he needs to muscle up on a throw...Scouts"
Sounds like a larger version of Jordan Wynn - the prototypical Utah QB.

Wilsons stats don't say much for him. Maybe he diddn't start or play the whole season his Junior year. Let's hope he develops into a solid college QB. Way too early to tell or be very excited about him. If he has a great senior year then I will be hopeful he can be a good college QB.

You are talking about the Idaho recruit you had NOTHING good to say about just a few weeks ago, right?
So, Wilson, ranked two places higher than Mangum, is a blue chip recruit, but Mangum, according to you, was a wasted scholarship offer from Bronco?
You're too funny for words hedgie.

1 star 5 star who cares! I give the following 10 stars though:
Want to know if Utah has arrived in the Pac-12 yet? Just take a look at recruiting.
The Utes, who once mostly battled the likes of BYU and San Diego State for recruits that BCS programs usually werent interested in, outdueled five Pac-12 schools for a quarterback this week.
Is that some that national attention you peeps down south covet so much?
"The likes of" pretty much sums it up....

No BYU doesn't need to covet that type of national attention. Why covet something you've already had for many years. It started in 1984 and is still building up steam. The moves that both teams made this year will give them both additional exposure. BYU gets the national exposure and broadcasting freedom they want and Utah gets lot's of money they need badly and will be exposed for what they are which is somewhere between becoming a national success story and being a BCS league doormat. Time will tell.

Here is a quick preview of Chow's play calling that BYU fans learned to expect from Chow. 3rd and 8 on the 25, draw up the middle. 2nd and 18, draw up the middle. Here is a hint for the Ute o-line, you had better work on your long yardage "draw up the middle".

@meet me in the muss
I highly doubt anyone associated with BYU as a fan, player, coach, whatever, is jealous of utah getting a committment from from a bottom of the top 20 qb. Maybe he turns out to be a good one. Maybe not. But when you have 6 top rated qb's already who cares if someone else gets one? But get back to us if he ever turns out to be any good and maybe we'll reconsider our position.

Core/Shell Nanostructures of Metal Oxide Semiconductors (MOS) have attracted much attention because of their most fascinating tunable applications. These core shell morphologies can be easily engineered to enhance the unique properties of the metal-oxide nanostructures, which make them suitable as photocatalyst due to their high catalytic activity, substantial stability, and brilliant perspective in applications. This paper provides an overview on our work on the synthesis of some interesting core/ shell nanostructures of MOS such as , , and using a low temperature wet chemical route and hydrothermal techniques and their photocatalytic properties from the aspects of different shell materials and shell thicknesses. The effect of process parameters such as pH, temperature, and ratio of core and shell materials, was systematically studied. Here the evidence for the core shell formation with different shell thicknesses came from the X-ray diffraction peak intensities. The shell thickness variation was also confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopic studies. Effect of shell thickness on optical band gap of the core shell fabricated was also investigated using DRS UV-Visible spectroscopy. A comprehensive study was carried out for the photocatalytic efficiency of core shell nanostructures by evaluating the photo-degradation of Acridine Orange (AO) dye in aqueous solution under visible and solar light irradiations. These results offered simple approaches to the nanoscale engineering and synthesis of MOS hybrid systems to serve as better photocatalytic materials.

The sheaf of white papers gave off a crackling sound, like dry leaves being raked, as "Santa in the 'Hood" Blondell Lewis riffled them with his thumb.
The stack of papers was his "Santa's list." Instead of the traditional "naughty and nice" divisions, however, the papers told Lewis who was doing well and who needed to try a little harder.
In his hands, the owner of Shear Elegance hair salon and Mr. Puff's smoke shop held of the report cards of some 600 Lubbock ISD students.
"Everybody gets something," said Lewis, a cheerleader and sometime mentor to the students who live near his shop at 2510 Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd. "The kids who made A's get something worth $5. A dollar for the ones with B's, C's and D's."
For Blondell "Mr. Puff" Lewis, it's not something that just happens once a year when the Santa hat comes out of storage.
Showing report cards to Mr. Puff has grown into a tradition at the end of each LISD grading period for the past 11 years — a tradition that arose because Lewis didn't like some of what he saw happening to the children who came into his shop to buy candy and snacks and decided to do something about it.
"They'd put some change down on the counter and ask, 'Mr. Lewis, how much money do I have here?' " he recalled. "That hurt my heart. Nobody sat them down and said, 'the brown coin is a penny, and the little shiny coin is a dime.' "
As grades improved and students became more attentive in class, Lewis said, "teachers started wondering 'Who is Mr. Puff?' When the teachers started asking the children why they were working harder, the kids said, 'I've got to get my grades better to get stuff from Mr. Puff.' "
For improved grades, the students receive small awards of candy, he said.
And for honor students, Lewis said, there's an additional reward — a chance to help around the business, sweeping floors, carrying out the trash and waiting on customers.
And learning to make change.
"They get a chance to see something of what it's like to have a job," said Lewis, a Lubbock native who left to finish high school in Denver, then attended a career college and a community college to get his license as a stylist and develop a line of hair care products.
His honor students behind the counter Tuesday were Za'korrian Bluitt, 9, and Keshadamar Bates, 6.
The pair split their work among helping customers with purchases and helping Lewis wrap and hand out gifts.
Za'korrian at one point glanced over at a report card taped on the wall in the narrow customer service space. The word "WINNER" was printed in the top margin.
"You almost beat him out," Lewis said.
Za'korrian softly replied, "He had a couple more hundreds than I did."
Keshadamar, a slender bundle of energy who Lewis said occasionally on the basketball court mixes in with bigger players, hoisted a plastic bag from a small wastebasket. "I take out the trash."
As customers came in, the pair greeted them with a careful, "Merry Christmas from Mr. Puff's."
Customers, mainly children themselves, put the boys through a variety of "do it in your head" math tasks that are part of selling individually wrapped candy by the piece, such as how many pieces of candy at three cents does a customer get for a quarter.
And they got a look at a quick real life problem — dealing with a customer who wants to make a small purchase, under a dollar, with a $20 bill, when breaking the big bill would clear the till of dollar bills, leaving the shop unable to make change for anyone else. Lewis showed them how to explain the situation to the customer to encourage a small up-sell, rather than losing the sale.
At 1 p.m., the store switched to gift mode. Students and parents came in, and Lewis found something for everyone, including extra gifts for birthdays, and even something for the children too young to start school.
"I started with just the hair salon. The smoke shop wasn't even in the plans. We just had a shelf of stuff, and kids came in and they kept buying and buying," Lewis said.
The gifts are paid for out of the store's proceeds with no outside support, Lewis said, adding it all ties into a philosophy he gained from a business mentor earlier in his career.
"If you go through life and you don't do something for somebody else, you haven't done anything," Lewis said.

Finland's tax authority is trying to find new ways to increase revenue and is considering going so far as to tax unpaid labour, an official told public broadcaster YLE on Wednesday.
The tax office was looking at service exchanges in particular, such as time banking, where reciprocal services are exchanged using units of time as currency, or more informal arrangements such as that between two neighbours.
"If the neighbourhood electrician and carpenter are involved in each other's private house construction the value of the work performance is already quite high. It would be extraordinary if neither of their work would be taxed," a leading tax expert from the Finnish Tax Administration, Sami Varonen, told YLE.
He said it didn't matter that not a single cent had been paid.
"The value must be determined and declared to be taxed," he said.
"We have a tax deficit due to many causes, but the most serious problems are in sectors that deliberately want to avoid taxes and also function this way," Varonen said.
"The alarm clock should ring ... when somebody does some work and at the same time agrees to pay or give something as compensation. Then one needs to start to find out what obligations result from it," he added.
Despite a stalled economy, Finland is trying to eliminate its budget deficit which the government has forecasted at 1.5 percent of gross domestic product this year.
The Nordic country is the last of the 17 eurozone nations to hold a "triple A" rating with a "stable" outlook at the three main credit rating institutes.

The Mailbox
The Mailbox originally opened in December 2000, marking completion of the conversion of the former Royal Mail sorting office. This is an 80,000 square metre building, located between the elevated Suffolk Street Queensway and the Worcester and Birmingham canal. The mixed use development includes designer shops such as Harvey Nicholls and two hotels. The upper levels provide offices BBC TV and Radio studios , bars and restaurants. Three levels of apartments sit on top of the complex.
The New Mailbox
A major refurbishment of the Mailbox is underway that will transform its interior identity and improve its surroundings. Key stores remain open during the works. On completion in 2015 a new Harvey Nicholls store will open more than twice as large as the existing store. In addition to new retailers a cinema will also become part of the mix find out more.
New and improved pedestrian routes connect Birmingham Mailbox to the City Centre canals, the International Convention Centre and Brindleyplace.
There is a new public square at the entrance to The Mailbox. About the same size as Birmingham's Chamberlain Square, it is paved using natural stone, to create a welcoming environment for visitors and people living and working at The Mailbox.
