The Canterbury Tales: The Knight's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
Analysis: Writing Style
High Style; Rhyming Couplets in Iambic Pentameter
(See the discussion of iambic pentameter in the "Writing Style" section of our guide to the General Prologue & Frame Story.)
"The Knight's Tale" is written in a very "high" style, which just means that it uses lots of noble, courtly themes and language. Two of Chaucer's favorite poetic techniques in this story are preterition and ekphrasis. Big words, but don't be scared.
Preterition is just telling an audience something by saying that you're not going to tell them about it. A good example of this from "The Knight's Tale" occurs when the narrator describes Arcite's funeral. Instead of just describing it, he says, "[It] shall nat be toold for me" (2066), then goes on to describe (at great length) all of the things he won't describe. This case of preterition is so ridiculously long that it almost becomes comical, like the narrator is making fun of himself.
Another highbrow poetic technique "The Knight's Tale" uses is ekphrasis, which is the lengthy, dramatic description of a work of visual art in writing. The narrator tells the audience all about the paintings on the walls of the temples of Venus, Mars, and Diana. We get to hear a story-within-a-story as the narrator recounts the paintings of lovers and warriors that decorate these temples.

GRAND JUNCTION - The Grand Junction Tigers improved to 3-0 on the season with a 12 to 7 win against Ponderosa on Saturday morning at Canyon View Park.
The Tigers swept their way through the Bill Fanning Classic thanks in larger part to a constant barrage of offense. That trend continued on Saturday morning. Grand Junction had three sac fly rbis through the first two innings and with two outs in the bottom of the second Geoff Baldwin blasted his first home run of the season with a three run opposite field shot to put the Tigers up by five runs.
Dylan Wiman was the winning pitcher.

Camera surveillance would be used to cite speeders at Pennsylvania road construction sites, under a proposal to be discussed Friday by the Safe 80 Task Force.
The Pennsylvania Transportation Advisory Committee issued a report last month examining the feasibility of implementing photo speed enforcement in work zones.
The report concludes such a program would be effective and financially feasible, based partly on similar systems in place in Maryland and Illinois.
There was an average of 1,826 crashes per year in Pennsylvania work zones during the last decade, including an average of 24 fatalities per year, the report says.
State police say a tractor-trailer driver sparked a multi-vehicle wreck on Interstate 80 near Tannersville last week by speeding as he came upon backed-up traffic at a road work zone and lost control of the big rig.
The advisory committee calls for implementing a photo speeding program that would cite the vehicle owner, regardless of who was driving.
It recommends using a "variance" of at least 12 miles per hour over the work zone speed limit before issuing a ticket, noting the law's intent would be to slow overall traffic in work zones.
Mark Compton, the state Transportation Department's deputy secretary of administration, will discuss the report in a telephone conference call during the Safe 80 meeting, which begins at 11 a.m.
It will be held at the East Stroudsburg University Innovation Center, 562 Independence Road (corner of Route 447 and East Brown Street).
Speed zone photo enforcement is supported by Jim Becker, the Safe 80 Task Force chairman.
"I see the traffic calming effect where it's been tried in Maryland," Becker said. "It's already been tested and proven in another state."

Eugene, Ore., teen sues state to save climate
A Lane County Circuit Court Judge heard from attorneys today (Monday) in a lawsuit against the state of Oregon calling for more action to fight climate change. A South Eugene High School sophomore is one of the plaintiffs in the case.
15-year old Kelsey Juliana started her environmental activism early. She's organized rallies to raise public awareness. Now she's in the courtroom. Juliana says it's a matter of survival.
Juliana: "Me and my generation now. Our lives and our futures are at stake if we do not protect our atmosphere so we can survive. Not only are we the younger generation and the future. But we are most importantly now generation. So it is our time."
Juliana is asking Circuit Court Judge Karsten Rasmussen to order the governor and the legislature to establish a trust for Oregon's atmosphere. The state has asked the judge to dismiss the case based on jurisdictional issues. Rasmussen says he'll make his decision in the coming days.
Similar lawsuits are being filed in 10 other states. An organization called Our Children's Trust is helping coordinate the efforts.

Ive fought a good hard battle, but I have lost....winter has won. Its cold, its snowy, its rainy, its slushy, its icy, but it is here, so lets have fun. I got all snow crafty and we made ice stepping stones.
.Metal disposable baking tins
.Water ( not from the hose because i discovered it was frozen)
.Paint or food coloring ( we used paint because the color was more bold)
.Cold weather or freezer
Mix water with desired amount of color and leave over night. In the morning we pealed the pans off and Voila frozen stones to add extra cuteness to our little Shtub.
Rozie lasted about 10 seconds outside for this project and watched us from the window instead.
It snowed again and it stuck for awhile this time leaving a clean white layer of dusty cold.
One of the things i love about the snow is the sun after a storm. As much as i dislike winter i do love fresh snow that sparkles from a new sun, even Rozie was willing to venture outside for this one.
We also have a WINNER ( sorry this took so long) using my friend Random number generator our winner is....#43 Deena R. I'll email you all the details.If you still are looking to win some Little Rozie goods check out this blog. They are raising money to help with the adoption fees for orphans with Down syndrome in other countries. I know it is hard to believe it but if my gorgeous Rozie was born in Russia TODAY, she would be put in an orphanage and if not adopted by toddler age she would be institutionalized, G-d forbid. This cause is close to my heart for obvious reasons. The cost of adopting a child like this is costly but thanks to people like Lilly's mom adoption funds are actually available to help families who want to adopt.
When i think about such things i take my 3 kinder and snuggle real close. I smell their hair and inhale their sweetness. I thank Hashem that Rozie is here to complete our little Shtub. I am thankful that many years ago my family left Russia and Hungry and Poland to start a new life here. I am thankful that we can play in the snow and not hide because we are Jewish, not hide because Rozie is different.
I love you my sweet little kinder from the moon and back times a million billion trillion.

Poll: Democrats Lead in Key Senate Races
The presidential polls have tightened since last week's debate between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, but in a couple of key Senate races the Democrat still retains a strong lead.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll shows Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) with a 52%-41% lead over Republican candidate Josh Mandel. Mr. Brown has held a consistent lead, and the new poll suggests it is not narrowing.

- Hillary Clinton Expands Lead Over Donald Trump in Fox Poll
In Florida, another swing state, Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson is leading Republican Rep. Connie Mack 52%-39% in the poll, a small increase over his 52%-41% lead in a previous poll.
The one Senate race that the poll did show tightening was in Virginia. Democratic candidate Tim Kaine has a narrow 47%-46% edge, down from a five-point advantage in a previous survey.
Democrats currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, so Republicans need to gain four seats to take control (three if Mr. Romney wins, since the vice president breaks ties in the Senate).
If Republicans were to take Democratic seats in Ohio, Florida or Virginia, it would mark a big step toward that goal.

Mexico City ATTRACTIONS See all
Perfumed with flowers and plied by trajineras, a sort of gondola cheerfully painted to reflect the canals' lush beauty, the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco were once the agricultural breadbasket of Mexico City. Today, these last lovely remnants of ancient Lake Texcoco are more a destination for young lovers and enchanted tourists in search of a romantic afternoon.
Though most of the Aztecs' massive system of canals have long since been drained, the suburb of Xochimilco ("Place of Flowers") offers a glimpse into the ancient beauty of of Tenochtitlán. The "floating gardens" that once fed the great nation are smaller, but still here; the trajineras may now come equipped with engines, but they are still festively decorated, and many carry troupes of mariachis and offer relaxed "restaurant" service.
The gardens make for a mellow day, cruising through the islands and homes. Though Xochimilco has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is still a working neighborhood, with people (perhaps) living as they did long before the Spanish arrived.
Practical Info
The Gardens of Xochimilco are located about 23 kilometers (14 miles) south of the Zócalo in Mexico City. Most tour operators arrange the trip, but it's easy to do on your own.
Go to the end of Metro Line 2 (the Blue Line, which runs directly under the Zócalo in the city center) and exit at the Tasqueña station. From there, Tren Ligero runs directly to Xochimilco; follow the signs to the embarcadero. The first trajineras (colorfully painted, flat- bottomed boats) you'll see may be a bit more expensive; peso-pinchers can continue down the waterfront to look for less ornate trajineras that might be willing to bargain.

Quantum physics and traditional knowledge agree that combining the positive energies of a group of conscious people in a sacred space like Sedona, Arizona; has a much greater impact than isolated, individual efforts. Therefore, on May 18-20, 2007, high-point of the final Fifth Day Cycle of the current 5,200-year Mayan Long Count Calendar, Sedona author and therapist, Dr. Chet Snow, his wife, Kallista, plus Karen Koebnick of Sedona Spiritual Journeys, convened the first Four Directions Wisdom Gathering at the Sedona Creative Life Center. The 200 participants were led by a half-dozen recognized Native elders and wisdom-keepers from Turtle Island" (the Americas) and the Pacific (Hawaii), creating an "open-heart space" to share experiences and dialogue as we enter the long-predicted Times of Change or Purification, as the Hopi say, surrounding the 2012 alignment of Earth and our Solar System with the Galactic Center. This was the most-auspicious time to direct positive intentions to all our relations across Turtle Island. How can we create and sustain an Earth-friendly future together at this time? Invited elders and teachers included Grandmothers Agnes and Flordemayo of the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers; Auntie Pua, wisdom-keeper from Hawaii; Danilo Villafane from Columbia; Grandfather Martin of the Hopi nation; Willard & Marie Pine, Ojibway from Canada; Sherry Whitfield, guardian of the ancient crystal-skull "Synergy," known across the Pacific; Revs. Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byers Beckwith of the Agape Fellowship, Los Angeles, and Native American activist, Russell Means. Tony Redhouse of Arizona Dineh (Navajo) performed sacred music and dance at the two-day Wisdom Gathering, which culminated in an outdoor "talking stick" ceremony among Sedona's celebrated Red Rocks. If the predictions held by traditional Hopi and Mayan elders come true, this may have been one of our last opportunities to collect and transmit powerful sacred messages from these elders around Mother Earth before the disruptive transition from the 4th to the 5th world began. Even if "Purification" were postponed, many of these respected elders knew that the wisdom they held could soon disappear with them or that they would no longer be able to travel as freely as at that time. In 2009, Chet Snow, who is part Native American from his father, received a new vision that this group should meet again in the year 2012 as Earth aligns with the Galactic Center. This alignment marks the rebirth of the ancient Mayan Calendar and it occurs just after a rare Venus transit, when our sister planet passes across the face of the Sun, as seen from Earth. These transits always come in pairs, eight years apart; the second of the current pair happens on June 6, 2012, and is visible in the Pacific. Consequently, an Aloha Wisdom Gathering will be held on the Big Island of Hawaii, June 2-6, 2012, to celebrate this infusion of Aloha Spirit and "talk story" on how best to foster a sustainable, positive future for the next seven generations. All who resonate with this Vision are invited!! For more information contact: http://4dwisdom.org/ http://www.chetsnow.com/ Aloha -- Peace -- Shalom -- Salaam -- Mitakuye Oyasin

The Sensei (karate teacher) is a big guy. Height wise we measure up but be has - what do you call it - oh yeah muscle. Lot's of muscle.
"Thanks, what did he do?
"We were practicing his wrestling..."
STOP! I am going to bring all of us up to speed on the style of karate Will takes. As any fan of mixed martial arts or grade B martial arts movies knows there are many "flavors" of fighting. A buddy of mine is a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do which is a great style of fighting as long as you stay on your feet. If somebody tackles him, he's like a turtle on its back (OK not that bad but you get the picture). Will takes Tama and it incorporates the traditional kicks and punches as well as jiu-jitsu moves (what to do if you are fighting on the ground).
Back to what the Sensei was saying.
"and he had another student mounted (quick definition of the mount: remember the time that bully sat on your chest? He was in the mount. You? You were screwed. The moral is don't get mounted.) and Will turned to me and asked, "Is this where I hit him a lot?""
Hmmm... you all may find this surprising, but I feel conflicted quite a bit... about everything (most everything). Was I happy that Will was in the mount to begin with? Yes. Am I happy that Will had the common sense to ask the Sensei if it was OK to let the punches fly before letting loose with the aforementioned punches? Yes, very much so. Was I happy that Will lives in a world (he's only 8) where he needs to know that one launches a flurry of punches when he is in the mount? No. No I am not.
The Sensei continued, "I told him not to punch the other kid. Right now he should focus on staying on top while the other student tries to get out from the bottom. He did a good job today."
"Thanks," I replied.
See, I bet you're wondering to yourself, "What does this have to do with Atheism? The title of the post is Atheism, Parenting, and Karate and I've spent quite some time now reading about your boy not hitting another kid."
Fear not, here is the rub.
Acting in a moral manner requires several skills and one of them is not breaking the, Screw It! Barrier. You may not have heard the term, but we all know what the Screw It! Barrier is. It's when a person is so frustrated, angry, or drunk that they say, "Screw it!" and do something stupid. Sometimes it's violent and stupid, other times it's self-injurious and stupid. The common thread here is stupid. The Screw It Barrier can also be breached when a person is afraid and not in control of themselves. Karate is a discipline where fear is taught to be managed. A person who feels confident and sure of themselves has less to prove (in that monkey-like testosterone way) and less likely to get into a fight.
The US Justice Department publishes a Child Delinquency bulletin (click here to see it). In it are listed risk factors that can predispose a child to delinquency (fighting, stealing, etc.). Amongst those factors listed are not connecting with the community that they live in as well as falling in with the wrong crowd. Will's karate school offers a way that he can be involved in a positive social environment as well as being learning to defend himself.
What else can you ask for...
in Purgatory.

BELPRE - Officials broke ground on a proposed 1,500-square-foot multipurpose room at the Belpre Senior Center Monday.
The new room is expected to be under roof by Christmas, according to Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz.
The mayor was one of several officials who attended the groundbreaking and breakfast, along with more than 50 seniors.

Sonia Ramsey, Alice White, Norma Kemp, Jerry Lockhart, Burl Moore, Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz, Washington County Commissioners Tim Irvine, and Cora Marshall, Belpre Senior Center Director Susie Casto and Joyce Mather, executive director of the United Way of the Mid-Ohio Valley, break ground on the new 1,500 square foot multipurpose room at the senior center Monday morning.
"The expansion will allow us to do more than one thing," said Susie Casto, manager of the Belpre senior. The center serves more than 280 individuals, Casto said.
Washington County Commissioner Tim Irvine said the center is bursting at the seams.
The new space can be used for exercise and art classes, dinners, dances and much more.
She added 28 percent of the city's population is over the age of 60.
"We will need that room over the next five years."
Lorentz said the center has received a wellspring of support, but there is still a long way to go. There is about $110,000 in funds to do the project, which has price tag of about $129,000. That does not include engineering costs, said officials.
Lorentz said the money will get the expansion under roof and get some interior work done. Some of the interior work - plumbing, minor electrical work - will be done by volunteers, including the mayor.
Casto officials are already planning a fundraising dinner for Oct. 11 at St. Ambrose Church in Porterfield.
"This is the busiest, most active group in the city," Lorentz said.

Problems in this "non-profit" organization's structure and the dubious value of its products (in monetary and post-secondary terms) make me mostly agree with the article. However, I know many AP teachers who bring wonderful content and ideas to life in classes that happen to be AP.

text: In T 473/07 the board held that the representative's practice of checking only the dates entered by his records clerks while relying on the resulting time limits calculated by the computerised system did not rule out errors. Modern real-world offices comprised computerised systems but program deficiencies were also a well-known part of that reality and could not be absolutely ruled out. Therefore, relying exclusively on a time limit generated by a computer program and refraining even from a plausibility check did not meet the all-due-care requirement.

My beloved husband does the growing part so I can't really help with that. You get a plant, or maybe seeds, I'm not sure, and dirt and water and sunshine. Then you grow it a long time while your wife saves her scraps all year for sachets. Then one day you see buds, and just when some of them start to open all the way - but not all of them, because then the lovely scented oils just dry up - you cut them and bring them inside in one heady, lovely bunch.
OK, now this is the part I do know about. Bundle them into bunches about as thick as your wrist so they aren't too crowded. Rubber band the stems, pretty tight, because they lose some volume as they dry and you don't want them falling all over the place.
Slip another rubber band through the ones holding your bunch, then loop it by pulling one end through the other to form a hanger.
I cut the ends straight because I think it looks really pretty that way but it doesn't serve a single purpose I know of. Hang them in a dry place out of sunlight - our garage is the best place here. Put a piece of newspaper on the floor beneath them to catch the flowers that fall as they dry - you don't want to waste any of these fragrant beauties! In about a week they should be crisp but still have their color and fragrance. Take 'em down, it's time to separate the buds from the chaff.
Put the bunches in an old pillowcase. I have best luck doing this one at a time. Then rub gently, like you are rolling the bunch, and the flowers will separate from the stems. Collect the flowers in an airtight container and don't forget to shake out your newspaper and use those too. I store in a Mason jar and keep it in a dark cupboard. I have heard the stems can be tossed into your fireplace to add some nice fragrance. I haven't tried it ... don't get me started about all the rules my town has about what you can and can't put in your fireplace and when.
Now, on to the sachets! This is the quickest, easiest way to make sachets that are still dryer-friendly. The key to this is pinking the edges, which means cutting them in a zigzag to keep the fabric edges from fraying, because fraying edges would make a mess of your dryer. Yes, you can sew it like a traditional pillow, right sides together, turn, fill and sew the hole, but this is much easier and works just as well.
You can use pre-pinked charm squares, you can cut your fabric using a pinking rotary cutter if you're fancy like that, or you can use pinking shears. I like them no larger than 5" on a side and no less than 3".
Keep the lavender packed down away from your unsewn edge, and then sew the remaining edge, being sure to cross over your original stitches, and backstitching at the beginning and end.
For the longest life as a dryer sachet, toss them in when the clothes are only just damp, then store it in a dark place until your next load.

Are you ready to buy a cruise? Get tips on finding the best cruise for you and save money with our cruise buying guide.
Cell Phones & Cruises
Many people want to stay connected when they travel. Most modern ships now let you use your mobile phone while aboard. And when you are in port, you can access local networks.
Below is a list of U.S. mobile phone carriers. Follow the link to make sure your carrier has an agreement with your ship -- for example, at&t has particularly limited cruise ship agreements.
Don't forget to check out Cruise Packing Essentials!
A few tips to remember:
- You must call your carrier to turn on international roaming. Normally this feature is not activated.
- It's not cheap. Expect to pay at least $2.50 per minute to call the US from the ship. You will also be charged for incoming calls, and even the time it takes for people to leave you a voicemail if your phone is on, so you may want to turn it off when you're not making a call.
- Dial "+" and then the country code and number. When calling the U.S., the country code is "1." For example, calling the US from overseas, dial +1-(XXX)-XXX-XXXX, to call a Jamaica number from your you mobile, dial +876-XXX-XXXX because +867 is the country code (e.g., +867-702-6000 is the number for the US Embassy in Jamaica; dial the whole number on your cell phone, or 702-6000 from a Jamaican pay phone).

The February 25 demise of this bird sightings website will leave a gap in the market, as I wrote over a year ago. Indeed, Birdstack was then the answer to a prayer and now just eBird remains, although it has gone worldwide. At least it's accepted my last few months' sightings from the UK, provided I bulk upload them instead of exporting from Birdstack.
All is not lost but a few species will be. eBird follows Clements, which is not as generous as the IOC with splits. This won't affect site or even county and country lists so much but my world tally will definitely suffer. As will Hampshire and Somerset because eBird is mega-strict and up-to-date with county definitions. If you supply latitude and longitude, they override whatever you specify for county, and presumably country. (Although Blagdon Lake doesn't seem to be right: I've had to shift the marker for its North Somerset portion a considerable way west to put it in the correct district.)
Many links in this blog will break, especially those to the Birdstack widgets, so I'll have to point them elsewhere as time goes on. I haven't played so much with eBird to see what's available but nothing has jumped out so I'm not hopeful. And as for more specialised lists, like car-free or trips… should I go back to Wildlife Recorder?

Demand for broadband lifts BT to strong full-year resultsThursday 08 May 2014 13.28
Strong demand for fibre broadband and television helped BT report its first growth in consumer revenues in a decade and strong overall full-year results.
The 168-year-old former state telecoms monopoly reported a return to quarterly revenue growth last quarter for the first time in four and a half years.
It said it would extend its dividend and share buyback policy by one year.
It also increased its free cash flow forecasts for 2014/15.
BT's financial performance has been helped by record customer demand for superfast broadband and its growing new sports TV service which is competing with the dominant pay-TV provider BSkyB.

The progression of a polyphonic poem
Dr. Tim Lilburn (writing) knows a thing or two about writing poems. He also knows something about writing books of poems. In a career that has spanned more than 25 years, Lilburn has published two books of essays and nine books of poetry. He launched his most recent book, Assiniboia, across Canada in March.
IDEAFEST 2012: Climate change and food security for BC
When people analyse the issue of climate change, they often consider global temperature increases, rising sea levels and changes to ecosystems. The issue of food production and protection is another concern, though. On March 6, as part of UVic's IdeaFest, Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, and Dr. Aleck Ostry, a professor in UVic's Department of Geography, held a public discussion about climate change in relation to food security in British Columbia—specifically in regard to water issues.
IDEAFEST 2012: The Arab Spring: A season, or much more?
The uprisings that flared up throughout the Middle East a year ago—events known as The Arab Spring—have not only altered the political landscape of that region, they have had an impact on the entire world. This was the topic of discussion for an IDEAFEST panel of UVic scholars on March 8. The Arab Spring One Year Later: Revolution, Resolution and Resentment public forum was not just about examining transformations of the past year, however, it was also about considering possible scenarios for the future.
Writing grad outlines another chapter
It might be hard to imagine that a recent recipient of UVic's BFA in Creative Writing—one who won The Fiddlehead's 20th Annual Short Fiction Contest, self-published a book of essays and was offered a 2011 entrance scholarship into UBC's master's program in creative writing all within the past few months—fell into writing by default. But for Will Johnson, that's kind of how it happened.

People who want a tangible memory of the late Texas beauty Farrah Fawcett should check out the Friday Entertainment and Memorabilia sale at Dallas' Heritage Auctions.
There's Farrah's platinum American Express card, her checkbook, her script from the Dallas-filmed Dr. T and the Women and her last driver's license -- it identifies her as F. Leni Fawcett.
Farrah's nephew Gregory S. Walls says he consigned the items as a response to the many requests her family has received for personal items that had belonged to the star.

In its 29th year of honoring the nation's best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, today announced Braden Minor of Eisenhower High School as its 2013-14 Gatorade Kansas Baseball Player of the Year. Minor is the first Gatorade Kansas Baseball Player of the Year to be chosen from Eisenhower High School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Minor as Kansas's best high school baseball player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year, Minor joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Roy Halladay (1994-95, Arvada West HS, Colo.), David Price (2003-04, Blackman HS, Tenn.), Chipper Jones (1989-90, Bolles School, Fla.), Derek Lee (1992-93, El Camino HS, Calif.) and John Lester (2001-02, Bellarmine Prep, Wash.).
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound sophomore right-handed pitcher and first baseman led the Tigers (19-3) to a berth in the Class 5A state tournament, scheduled to begin May 29. At the time of his selection, Minor owned a 5-1 record, a 1.88 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 41 innings. Ranked as the state's No. 4 prospect in the Class of 2016 by Prep Baseball Report, he also batted .542 with 23 RBIs, 13 runs and a .711 slugging percentage through 22 games.
Minor has maintained a 3.97 GPA in the classroom. A member of his school's Spanish Club and Spirit Club, he has volunteered locally shoveling snow for the elderly and as a youth baseball coach.
"Braden Minor is one of the top pitchers in the state of Kansas," said Eisenhower High head coach Tom Campa. "He has a very good command of his pitches to make him successful each game. He possesses great game management and also leads by example. He will definitely be a high recruit for any NCAA Division I university."
Minor will begin his junior year of high school this fall.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA TODAY High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.
Minor joins recent Gatorade Kansas Baseball Players of the Year Ryan Colombo (2012-13, Seaman High School), Collin Wiles (2011-12, Blue Valley West High School), Conner Knight (2010 – 11, Maize High School), Cody Kukuk (2009-10, Free State), Garrett Gould (2008–09, Maize), Lee Ridenhour (2007-08, Shawnee Mission West), and Derek Norris (2006-2007, Goddard) among the state's list of former award winners.

1. What is a charter school? A charter school is created and organized by a community group and given special permission by the Local Educational Authority (Hamilton County Department of Education) to operate in the district. Charter schools operate differently. They may use a different grading system, teaching approaches, discipline strategies, or hold longer school hours and/or a longer school year. Charter schools receive public funds, but must raise private funds to cover expenses such as building and transportation costs, as well as any other special program or equipment required.
2. Is my daughter eligible? The Tennessee legislature passed legislation in July 2011 that opened up charter school eligibility requirements. Any female student eligible for promotion in grades 6-12 and living in Hamilton County is eligible to attend CGLA.
3. Is there a lottery to get into the school? There is a lottery only if there are more applicants than spaces available for either the school or a single grade.
4. Is CGLA only for girls who are failing? No, there are many girls at CGLA who are proficient or advanced, but they have attended or are zoned for a High Priority School or have chosen to enroll at CGLA based on Tennessee's new charter school regulations which open eligibility to any grade-appropriate girl in Hamilton County.
5. Will there be transportation? Yes, transportation is provided, but is limited.
6. Is there tuition? CGLA is a public charter school; there is no tuition fee.
7. Will my daughter wear a uniform? Yes, uniforms will be required on the first day of school.
8. Am I required as a parent to do volunteer hours? Each family is required to contribute a minimum of 16 hours of service per school year. It is recommended that 8 hours be applied to supporting CGLA and 8 hours be applied to supporting their child academically. The service hours are a requirement per family, not per student, and can be completed with the help of multiple family members (18+years of age). All service hours must be completed by April 1st of each school year. Volunteer hours are reviewed annually.
9. Do you have sports? Yes! CGLA launched an athletics program in fall 2011 and offers competitive basketball and volleyball teams as well as intramural soccer, track, basketball (middle school), softball and lacrosse (middle school) teams.
10. Why all girls? Because girls have different learning needs than boys, CGLA was created with girls in mind and specifically what girls need to be successful.
11. Is an all-girl school right for my daughter? Only you can answer that question. We are confident that you know what is best for your daughter.
12. When will I be notified if my daughter is accepted? You will be notified following the close of the enrollment period. This notification will let you know if your daughter is eligible, or if a lottery is required. If a lottery is necessary, a lottery date will be included in your letter and posted on the CGLA website.
13. What are the steps I need to take to ensure my daughter is enrolled? The first step is to submit a completed application. Make sure that your contact information is correct and updated if needed. Wait for the close of the enrollment period to find out if a lottery is required. If there is no lottery, you must register your daughter, attend parent orientation; purchase a uniform, and be ready for the first day of school. If there is a lottery, plan on attending. If your daughter's lottery ID number is selected, you must register your daughter, attend parent orientation; purchase a uniform and be ready for the first day of school. If your daughter is not selected in the lottery she will be placed on the waiting list.
14. What happens if I have already missed the enrollment period and the lottery has already been conducted? You may still submit an application for admission. If your daughter is eligible she will be placed on the waiting list.

Discussion in 'Deep Space Nine' started by DostoyevskyClone, Jan 20, 2008.
I voted for the second mirror episode instead of the first, by accident.
should this read hottest look for Jadzia ?
as Terry herself has had some different looks herself in real life
You waited four years to ask that?
Since the question asks about Terry Farrell and not Dax, may I suggest the Cat in Red Dwarf...?
A question:
Why is the poll closed--let alone, with zero votes?
Because the thread is from 2008.
I see....
It looks as if the "Nicole de Boer" thread the OP promised never came to fruition....
Still, you'd think the results could be preserved for posterity.
Hmmm....There are no choices in the opening post that involve her posterior
here is one of her for you
There you go Bones, now you have Posterity
Good work.
check out my link in my signature for a lot more
I don't understand why there are like 6 choices for the same look--ponytail with Starfleet uniform.
See Becker
There was never a scene on DS9 where Terry wasn't hot.
That said, her best look was with her hair down in "The Quickening". But that's just me, I personally don't think women look good with short hair, or with their hair pinned up.
Of course, terry makes even those work.
I would have to concur. She is one sexy woman.
she had her hair down in a few episodes
some screencaps
When a woman has long hair, you can do more with it. Not really that intersted about hair, as it can change from one day to the next. More interested in the face. Recall, a pit bull can have a very nice looking hair. It is not the hair that makes you want to run away from a pit bull.
Separate names with a comma.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Sebastian Spreng, Visual Artist and Classical Music Writer
A new CD comes in the middle of the tsunami occasioned by Richard Wagner's 200th birthday. It could be warmly suggested as an antidote for Wagnerian novices and connoisseurs. For the first group provides an ideal, effortless introduction to the composer's universe. For the second brings together an interesting group of works mostly linked to his private life. Fortunately for both, the vocals are performed by the foremost Wagnerian soprano of our day, Nina Stemme.
Since its inception in 1995, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra has aroused as much admiration as its musical director, Thomas Dausgaard. A great conductor of Nielsen, Bruckner and Schumann, the talented Dane invites us to sail on a cruise á la Wagner that, leaving the Baltic behind, puts in at impossible ports – Zurich, Lucerne, Nuremberg – related to the composer's life and work.
The journey is marked by the tempestuous overture to The Flying Dutchman in its original (1841) and final (1860) versions. The latter includes the redemption by love was composed after Wagner's transfiguration of Isolde in Tristan. With vehemence, Dausgaard conveys the fury of the stormy sea journey, which Wagner describes in the opera inspired by his voyage (actually, escape) from Riga to London. The waters turned calmer in the prelude to The Mastersingers of Nurenberg, his only comedy, one that that exemplifies his dualities and the clash between tradition and innovation via an astonishing contrapuntal treatment worthy of Bach.
A sophisticate French lady once said, "the Wesendonck Lieder captures Wagner's essence; the rest is just mental inflammation." She has her point. Using five poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, his unattainable beloved, Wagner condensed his whole creative energy into 20 minutes. The pain, passion and the ecstasy he experienced also opened the door into another dimension. Behind, he left a phase of his musical career, the barricades and Minna, his first wife. Ahead was the conclusion of the Ring cycle, Die Meistersinger, Parsifal and Cosima's unconditional Hausfrau efficiency. In this creative hiatus we find Mathilde. The excuse is her poetry and the direct consequence is the paradigmatic Tristan und Isolde.
In Felix Mottl's orchestral arrangement (and Träume in Wagner's own arrangement), not all the illustrious Wagnerian singers have been convincing. In addition to the vocal power of Brünnhilde and Isolde, the Wesendonck songs requires a unique delicacy and sensitivity that do not always accompany "big" voices. Nina Stemme successfully combines both qualities. Hers is a performance that exudes controlled passion. Her immense voice reveals a dark and velvety veneer, an anguish close to the rough – in the best sense – texture of a rich mezzosoprano combined with that of a dramatic soprano able to take on heroic Wagnerian roles and – why not? – Bellini's Norma. This Swedish singer's admirable performance is among the best along with the recent renditions – as different as indispensable - by her compatriot Anne Sofie von Otter and by tenor Jonas Kaufmann.
Wagner's Träume transcription for violin and orchestra provides an intimate and luminous final arrival to port. Also appropriate is the inclusion of the beautiful Siegfried Idyll, the closest thing to Happy Birthday the composer ever wrote. More than a celebration of his wife Cosima's thirty-third birthday and the birth of their son Siegfried, it is, like everything in Wagner's oeuvre, a paean to himself.
Wagner offers unforeseen pleasures. He does not have to be an acquired taste; he is an inevitable progression for the audience. It's much easier to dismiss him, than to yield to his spell. For the composer, an embryonic Buddhist, his real bad karma was having been used by an individual born six years after his death. Someone about whom more has been written than about Wagner. They shared vegetarianism, love of dogs and hatred of practically the entire human race. One is better left unnamed. Luckily for us, we have Wagner's music. Its greatness redeems him.

1967 Pontiac Beaumont

1967 Pontiac Beaumont information
Event :
Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance
To avoid tariffs imposed by the Canadian government, GM produced some cars with Canadian content that were distinctively Canadian. The big Pontiacs from there looked like Pontiacs but were built on Chevy chassis and had Chevy engines; names were distinctly Canadian, such as Laurentian, Parisienne, and Strato-Chief. Mid-sized cars looked like Chevelles but had Pontiac hallmarks like the split grille; they were called Beaumonts. By 1970, the trade laws were relaxed; the unique Beaumont became superfluous and was discontinued.
Sold by Pontiac dealers starting in 1964, Beaumonts carried their own styling, which was influenced by Pontiac's trademark split grille. The SD (Sport Deluxe, NOT Super Duty) was the high-line version of the Beaumont, which originally started as the high-line Acadian. Sport Deluxes initially included the same engines as the American Chevelle, but starting in 1967, they were analogous to the Chevelle SS396; however, the SD396 didn't offer the 396/375 like its American counterpart.
This car spent its life in Ottawa, Ontario until moving to the Buffalo, NY area a few years ago, where it underwent a six-year restoration. Only 66 SD396 Beaumont convertibles were built in 1967, and none of them were sold new in the United States. Is it a Pontiac? Is it a Chevelle? Ask a Poncho or Chevy fan and you may get a different answer!
