Raising Aphrodite(2015)
A novel by Kirk Curnutt
Raising Aphrodite is a comedy of parenting errors in which single father, Vance Seagrove, wakes up one morning to discover irrefutable proof that his teenage daughter has come of age. Anxious to protect Chloe from the emotional perils of growing up too fast too soon, Vance must confront the sexual hypocrisies of small-town life in Willoughby, Alabama including his own. Guiding him on his journey is a cast of strong women: his best friend and former lover, Campbell, whose bisexuality is a source of conflict with both her own overbearing father and ex-husband; his current girlfriend, Sadie, the aspiring Liz Phair-influenced songwriter whose fiery confidence Vance admires and envies; and Deb, the ex-wife whose unexpected reappearance in his daughter s life sends him spiraling into self-destructive jealousy. Central to understanding Chloe s entry into adulthood is yet another iconic female, the Aphrodite of Knidos. As the first nude in Western art, this Greek masterpiece an alabaster reproduction of which is the centerpiece of the statuary Vance is dedicated to preserving symbolizes the thin line between objectification and self-possession, between eros and the erotic. Raising Aphrodite is a funny and poignant exploration of the misadventures of manhood that celebrates the creativity of punk rock, the importance of art in a community, and the beauty of friendship between the sexes.

In the space beside Mary
She heard his voice even before he entered the room. He was speaking to the nice man in white clothes and shoes. The corridor outside smelt of Wednesday - posh coffee, muffins and newspapers. The air wafted in as he opened the door.
Her eyes lit as if with recognition, and she smiled up at him, pleased. "John," she said.
It was his father's name. "Hi, Mum," he said a little unevenly, "it's William."
The lady squeezed his hand gently, looked puzzled, and tried again. "William..."
An idea struck her. "I know a song about William," she said, and hummed a little tune, off-key, in a sweetly faded contralto. It was a song about how William had a wave that would roll across the sand to where his toes were always waiting to be tickled. He hummed along with her, and she was thrilled that he knew the words.
Of course he knew the words. She had made them up for him when he was very little. But she didn't remember that now. He used to sing it to his children, though these days he only sang it to himself, say when he was doing the dishes. Somehow he felt betrayed, as if she had gone off far away and left him, clutching a make-do soft toy, waiting for her to come back.
After the song, they chatted about inconsequentials, and the afternoon passed peaceably enough, beside the side table with the mug, the photo album that he helped her refer to sometimes, and the small statuette of the figure in blue after whom his mother was named, gazing coyly, polymer-resin and placid.

Kelly brook
Beach season is just around the corner, which means one thing for anyone heading to a beach or pool at some point: it's time to put on a bathing suit. No matter what your weight is, what you look like, or where you come from, putting on a swimsuit, especially a bikini, can be a little intimidating. Wearing a bikini is essentially the same thing as walking around in your underwear, and wearing a one-piece or tankini isn't much different.

You now how Russell Westbrook dresses like he's trying to impress Kanye West? Well, he takes a lot of crap for all that in the Oklahoma City Thunder locker room, up to and including an accusation he is assuming the identity of Beyonce's alter ego. "Oh, he's a diva," Durant told ESPN the Magazine. "I call him Sasha Fierce." For the less fierce among us, Sasha Fierce is an alter ego of the pop singer Beyonce. Sasha is, like, the super crazy one or whatever. The fierce one. And Beyonce is just regular-old Beyonce. It's a gimmicky construction nearly as old as pop music itself, but it seems to work OK. Beyonce's 2008 album I am Sasha Fierce received mixed critical reception but was the 10th-best selling album of 2008. It's the album that had "Single Ladies" on it. "Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage," Beyonce told Reuters in 2008. So that's what Durant is talking about. Westbrook's sensual, glamorous side. "He don't care what people say when he plays or when he dresses up," Thabo Sefolosha told ESPN. Westbrook and Durant have had their issues in the past. Some will interpret this as evidence they're getting along just fine. Maybe Durant just prefers Westbrook's more aggressive side.

|Director of Strategic Initiatives of Allentown School District (August 2011)
Gerald L. Zahorchak is an American educator and the former Secretary of Education for the Pennsylvania Department of Education, a position he held from 2006 to 2010. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Zahorchak worked at various Pennsylvania public school districts in a number of positions, including teacher, football coach, principal, federal programs director, strategic planning coordinator and personnel director. Zahorchak worked as superintendent of the Greater Johnstown School District in Cambria County from 1997 to 2003, when he was chosen to be Deputy Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education for the state. Governor Ed Rendell appointed him Secretary of Education in 2005.
During his tenure as secretary, Zahorchak implemented state funding for pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten, developed a new school funding formula, helped increase education funding for school districts, and established the Keystone Exams and the state's Standards Aligned System. In 2010, Zahorchak announced he would leave the Secretary of Education position, coinciding with Rendell's pending departure from the governorship. On April 22, 2010, Zahorchak was selected to be superintendent of the Allentown School District in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he vowed to establish regular updates to families about their students education, improve safety in schools and implement incentives to attract qualified minorities and top education students into teaching positions.
Early career[edit]
A native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania,[1] Zahorchak received a bachelor's degree master in 1980 from Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania, and a master of education degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1986. In 1994, Zahorchak received his doctorate in education from Pennsylvania State University,[2] where he wrote his doctoral dissertation on state policy-making.[3] Zahorchak began his educational career in 1980 at the Greater Johnstown School District in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, where he spent two years an elementary school teacher. In 1985, he became a middle school reading and language arts in the North Star School District in Somerset County, where he also coached varsity high school football.[2][4] Zahorchak taught at North Star until 1989,[2] when he started working at the Shanksville-Stonycreek School District, also in Somerset County. During his three years in the district, he worked as an elementary and secondary principal, as well as a federal programs director. In 1992, he returned to the North Star School District as a principal and strategic planning coordinator.[2][5] Zahorchak also previously served as an elected member of the Greater Johnstown School Board, and was a Johnstown city councilman, the Johnston deputy major and president of the Johnstown Rotary in 2003.[4]
Zahorchak returned to the Greater Johnstown School District in 1996 as a federal programs and personnel director.[2][5] In 1997, he was promoted to superintendent, a position he held for six years.[6] During his tenure as superintendent, Zahorchak implemented full-day kindergarten, pre-kindergarten and tutoring programs. He also pursued high school reform and hired reading and math coaches to boost student learning.[4]
Early state career[edit]
In March 2003, Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Vicki Phillips hired Zahorchak as Deputy Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education,[7] where he oversaw the education of more than 1.8 million children public school children in the state. Zahorchak helped implement the release of Pennsylvania's first Academic Achievement Reports, and led the development and implementation of support systems for public schools trying to meet No Child Left Behind targets.[4][8] By 2005, Zahorchak was making a yearly salary of $124,458.[9]
Zahorchak served as acting education secretary from August 2004, when Phillips left the position, to September 2004, when Francis Barnes was hired. During the Barnes administration, Governor Ed Rendell encouraged local Pennsylvania school boards to participate in Act 72, a state property tax-relief program. Act 72 used proceeds from slot-machine gambling to finance property tax cuts from homeowners, and included with spending restrictions in exchange for the tax cuts. Barnes himself did not support the program, and most school boards rejected it because of the spending restrictions. Zahorchak, however voiced support for Act 72 and helped Rendell lobby local school districts to support it, which increased his visibility statewide.[3][7] Zahorchak claimed Act 72 "includes real property tax relief that shifts more of the responsibility for school funding back to the state".[10] When Barnes resigned in September 2005, Zahorchak was again tapped to serve as acting secretary and was widely considered the most qualified candidate for the permanent position, although Governor Ed Rendell engaged in a thorough search for other potential candidates around the state.[7]
Secretary of Education[edit]
Zahorchak was appointed state Secretary of Education on October 5, 2005, by Governor Ed Rendell, following the resignation of former Secretary Francis Barnes.[8] He was considered highly regarded by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers involved in education issues.[3] During his Pennsylvania State Senate confirmation hearing in December 2005, Zahorchak said he supported the state's $44 million Educational Improvement Tax Credit, which provides tax breaks for businesses that support public education programs and private school scholarships. Zahorchak also said he believed basic education should be the state's primary fiscal educational investment, rather than special education or higher education. The Pennsylvania State Senate Education Committee unanimously approved Zahorchak during his confirmation hearing on December 13, 2005,[9] and the full senate unanimously confirmed him on February 7, 2006.[4]
Zahorchak was a steady supporter of Rendell's education proposals. However, he maintained that he could still be an independent voice within the administration, and claimed, "I happen to agree with the outcomes because I'm in the mix of making determinations of our policy decisions."[3] In addition to Act 72, Zahorchak supported a Rendell proposal to require superintendents and principals in struggling school districts to improve math and reading test scores in order to keep their jobs, an idea that was not embraced by the Pennsylvania Legislature. In 2006, Zahorchak said he supported requiring high-school students to pass exit exams before they could graduate, although he acknowledged implementing such a testing program would be a long and difficult effort. At the time, the state required students to demonstrate proficiency in math and reading before they could graduate, but allowed local districts to decide whether that should entail passing the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment math and reading tests or alternative tests in the subjects. Zahorchak said, "I think it's a real disservice to graduate a student who's fundamentally not at the standard level."[3] However, Zahorchak also said students should be given alternative ways to demonstrate they are ready for college or the work force besides exams.[3]
As secretary, Zahorchak implemented state funding for pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten, training for principals, and easier ways to transfer college credits from one school to another.[11] He has managed $200 million in Accountability Block Grants that were used for tutoring, math and literacy coaching, and led the development of Pennsylvania Inspired Leadership, a legislative initiative to develop and support educational leaders in the state.[12][13] In 2008, Rendell and Zahorchak unveiled the first new school funding formula in about two decades, which set out to more fair than previous formulas and better meet the specific needs of individual school districts. The formula would give more money to districts with large numbers of children living in poverty. Other factors considered under the formula were cost of living, district size, enrollment growth and the amount of students learning to speak English. The formula originally called for increasing Pennsylvania education spending by $2.6 billion over the next six years, starting with an additional $291 million in 2008–09,[14] although the final budget passed by the state reduced that expenditure to $274 million.[15]
Zahorchak spearheaded the establishment of the Keystone Exams, state-created math, science and social studies tests that high school students would be required to pass a majority of in order to graduate. The measure was met with criticism by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and others who felt the plan would be expensive and would undermine local school boards' authority to set graduation requirements. The PSBA agreed to support the Keystone Exams under a compromise that schools might not have to give the tests if their own final exams are rigorous enough. The Keystone Exams were approved in 2009 and will first take effect starting with the class of 2015.[needs update][16] Zahorchak also established the state's Standards Aligned System, which created a standardized set of diagnostic tests and curriculum guides for local school districts.[17] The standards were aligned to six components: a curriculum framework, assessment systems, best teaching practices, emotional support practices, proven research resources and best interventions for accommodations for children who struggle.[12] Within two years, most public school districts within Pennsylvania were using Standards Aligned System in some form.[17]
In December 2009, Zahorchak received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, making him one of about only 50 people to receive the distinction.[4] In 2010, Zahorchak helped lead the application for federal funding through Race to the Top, a competitive grant program that encourages innovation and reform throughout public education. Zahorchak said the plan he drafted would double the number of students meeting math and reading proficiency targets by 2014. About 120 school districts and 59 charter schools representing roughly 650,000 students signed on for the application, which could have brought the state $400 million.[18] However, Pennsylvania was not included among the states to receive money in the first round of Race to the Top, where funds were awarded only to Delaware and Tennessee for their reform measures. Zahorchak said feedback from the rejected application would be used to strengthen another application in the second round.[19]
Zahorchak announced he would resign as education secretary on May 7, 2010.[20] His decision to leave was spurred by the pending end of the Rendell administration, with the governor leaving the office by January 2011.[11] At the time of his departure, there were no public school districts in the state with more than half of their students testing below basic levels in state standardized tests, although 14 districts fit that criterion before Zahorchak took the job.[21]
Post-Secretary career[edit]
Dr. Zahorchak has a tremendous record of achievement. We are lucky he wants to be here. He knows where all the problems are in the district as well as the state. He's going to come in and take us to the next level
School District director[21]
Zahorchak was unanimously selected to be superintendent of the Allentown School District in Allentown, Pennsylvania on April 22, 2010. His five-year contract began on July 1, 2010, with a starting yearly salary of $195,000. Zahorchak is the 16th superintendent of the district, which serves about 18,300 students and is the fourth largest public school district in Pennsylvania. He was chosen over four potential candidates, including former Harrisburg School District Superintendent Gerald Kohn, deputy superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools Carlinda Purcell and School District of Philadelphia Regional Superintendent Lucy D. Feria.[21] The Allentown position was the only job Zahorchak sought as he considered leaving the Secretary of Education position.[22]
Zahorchak said he plans to install a system that would provide regular updates to families on the academic performance of their children and push them toward tangible improvement goals. In response to recent student violence problems at the William Allen High School, Zahorchak identified one of his priorities as strengthening the district's code of conduct and citizenship programs. He also announced he would seek to replace retiring teachers with highly skilled minority candidates, and would create incentive programs to lure top students into teaching positions if they agreed to spend at least five years teaching in Allentown schools.[2]
Shortly after it was announced that all four Allentown School District middle schools failed to meet PSSA standards in 2009-10, Zahorchak proposed a major overhaul that would effectively eliminate all the district's middle schools and change elementary schools to a kindergarten through eighth grade model. On August 26, 2010, the school board approved a study of the district's facilities which would look into that proposal, or an alternative of building a fifth middle school in East Allentown to reduce the district's middle school student population per building. The Morning Call said if approved, Zahorchak's proposal would be "the biggest overhaul of the city's educational landscape in 30 years".[23]
On October 14, the Allentown School Board Education Committee signed off on Zahorchak's proposed five-year leadership and curriculum plans "Pathways to Success". The full board will determine whether to adopt it on October 28. Among the elements of the plan were social supports to help students transition from one grade level to the next, as well as the introduction to students of college information and career choices as early as elementary school, to ensure they understand their options after high school. The plan would also align programs and curricula across the district, establish a network to provide students better access to college courses and tutoring, and a push for more students to take advanced placement courses. Additionally, the plan would require high schoolers to pass mandatory, internationally recognized exit exams to graduate from high school.[24]
The committee signed off on all of Zahorchak's proposals except for his call to remove four principals in exchange for up to $15 million in federal grants that mandate leadership or staff changes as a condition for receiving the money.[24][25] Zahorchak proposed transferring the principals from the Allen and Dieruff high schools, Central Elementary and Harrison-Morton Middle School to the district's nonprofit foundation, then use the federal grant money to open a special school for advanced placement and honors students.[25] The committee did not vote or comment on the matter on October 14. Zahorchak said he still planned to pursue the plan but apologized for speaking to the media about it on October 12 before discussing it with the district and staff, a move that caused angst among the staff and some members of the public.
On March 24, Zahorchak's proposal for district wide reform will be put before the Allentown School Board. The plan for reform is based primarily on financial expectations within the district. While the plan calls for the hiring of new teachers who will not be full-time and not on district payroll, it also calls for the termination of 300+ teachers. Staff members from each of the Allentown School District's schools will attend the meeting in order to overhaul the plan.
By July 1, 2011, the school board approved a budget that saw less than 60 professionals educators being furloughed. The budget continued to endorse the Pathways to Success Program.
On August 17, 2011, Zahorchak resigned as superintendent and was retained as Director of Strategic Initiatives. Cost savings was cited by the ASD board as the reason for the resignation. Other issues with Zahorchak's management style, initiatives, and actions were also reported as contributing to the mutually accepted resignation.[26]

A/N: Odd plot is odd. I don't even know how long this is going to stretch out;; I'm so unorganized with my ideas but they nag me to no end I can't avoid them much longer. I have a short one-shot stuck in my head, however it's going to be pokémon-related, not pokémon human charas. Oh how I wonder when I'll start that, ahaha… This is not going to be my final shot at GreenxRed, I have two other things planned. Time to wing this.
Summary: AU. Mind reader!Green. "Oh yeah? Fifty bucks," Gold challenged, absently wiggling the spork between his thumb and forefinger, amber eyes briefly surveying the vacant lunchroom. "Fifty bucks to get that guy over there to like you. What was his name…? Red?" –Originalshipping
Warnings: Compared to the manga I prefer a crude Green, it gives his personality a flare. Red, on the other hand, is going to be the quiet type that we all know and love. Ah. If you have yet to realize this fic contains slash, boys love, whatever you care to call it. Feel free to continue but if the mere notion of two guys coupled romantically disturbs/makes you uncomfortable, I would strongly suggest you hit the back button. And lastly would be the traces of OOC (I will definitely try to get their characters down to the best of my ability!)
Rated: M for safety/language/and other stuff.
Disclaimer: Pokémon is owned by the Nintendo Company, I have no connections nor will I ever in this lifetime. I am not making money out of this (ARCEUS I WOULDN'T EVEN BE ON FFN FREQUENTLY IF I HAD MOOLAH) and this was created from my sheer amusement and partial boredom.
How Green despised Mondays with a burning passion his limited vocabulary, and groggy state of mind, could not even begin to describe.
Every day he only needed to remind himself he only needed one year to complete his high school days before entering college, he would no longer have to surround himself with his peers that had little to no concern over their future, however it never stopped his enthusiastically social personality to befriend them despite his rude and tactless remarks. Classmates he befriended would invite him during classes to skip the period to venture outside; it had startled them momentarily their offer was sharply declined even when they offered cheap bait such as alcohol or some woman they encountered to boast about. Green preferred the sanctum of the track field to finish his homework in solitude, he avoided the crowded lunchroom upon several occasions, and he maintained a healthy social life in school, almost always surrounded by a group of "friends."
The brunet was a good student, crude, but a good student nonetheless. At the very least, he reasoned optimistically, he would no longer have to delve into the subconscious of his social circle and their ridiculous or idiotic inward rambling. Staring into the reflection of the bathroom mirror dirtied by aged grime and graffiti, Green exhaled a rolling sigh weighing his shoulders. Mondays he would have to subject himself to wake to his early alarm and ready himself before the arrival of the school bus, every other day his first period would begin at a quarter before eight sharp, on Mondays the classes would begin at eight thirty: he would have to linger longer than needed be with his friends just because his grandfather refused to purchase a car for him. For a famous professor of animal studies he would have expected the cheerful elderly man to buy his favorite grandson—or rather his only grandson—a car for all his scholastic efforts!
Or suffering through hell day in and day out, tortured by the fact he has never been blessed with an absolute moment of silence. Green kept his lips sealed on his little secret regarding mind reading, especially to his only living relative besides his older sister. The voices were so loud, so boisterous, so inane, and reflected a myriad of emotions projecting into Green's head. Hidden beneath the sticky notes and pencils of the smallest pouch of his checkered black-and-green backpack was a silver compact pill case storing several white round-shaped tablets, his medication was to alleviate the headaches that occurred throughout the day. Green could not just choose whether to intrude someone's inner musings, he could not simply order his mind to halt the flooding thoughts, he was to submit and listen to someone constantly seeking the privacy of their mind to talk, talk, talk.
And Mondays made it all the more painful.
Dipping his hands under the running water of the faucet he splashed cold water on his face to remove all the traces of his weary disposition, he blinked several times to his reflection, blankly gazing as the droplets of water ran down his face. His frown twitched upwards to force a strained grin to greet his friends—or whoever chose to arrive by the school bus—at the lunchroom. One thing about Mondays is the supremely beautiful scene where the cluttered mass of students would be absent, their presence would fill the cafeteria by eight for those wanting to secure last minute conversations or breakfasts.
'Ahh, I needed that piss.'
'I am so screwed! If I don't get her something amazing for our one-month anniversary…shit! She'll dump me!'
'Is it so hard to flush the damn toilet?'
Green chuckled quietly. He will admit one thing: as irritating as it is to be capable of listening to someone's thoughts, their inner rage or rants could be occasionally humorous. Giving one final inspection on his appearance—including raking his hand through his hair to ensure the spikes were well kept, checking to see if the zipper of his brown cargo pants was closed, and smoothing the faint wrinkles on his black sweater—he turned on the balls of his heels, greeted by the few people loitering the hallways on the bleak Monday morning normally brooding in their heads, generally complaining of their lack of sleep or their impending first period. Green directed his focus on his high canvas black nikes, treading slowly through a group of people socializing loudly by the entrance.
His ego gained an extra boost in high school. It was not like middle school where the girls' fantasies would range from several dates, in high school their fantasies escalated to an entirely new level. Giving them any form of eye contact would make their thoughts run on a tangent, and as flattering as it was he found their girlish nature rather spine-chilling. He recalled one day he was heading to the library to check out a book for his class, a girl staring intently from across the room excitedly said in her head, 'How I would so let him do me.'
It could have been to directed to any other male in the library except he could feel her boring holes while his back was turned – he never minded having his own share of relationships throughout his four years of high school, he had a pair of beaten green converse at home where he would allow the girls he would date to write their names on any available empty spaces. He was surprised they never minded having their name written in sharpie beside any former girl he dated, some were memorable like the girl that graduated last year and gave amazing head. He coyly boasted whenever he trampled others in sports like basketball and the occasional football game, or perhaps beat his track record, but he was more guarded over his personal life with relationships…
Green thoughtfully gazed at his tray being filled with tater tots, a biscuit, and a reasonable dollop of scrambled eggs by the aged lunch lady. His friends would persistently try to pry information of his sexual tendencies, his preference, and every time he would deter the conversation to something else entirely. Sex was sex, an education was not meant to be skipped, he didn't revolve his life around sports, and he would always be part of a social circle. Green set his tray down on a secluded table in the lunchroom, stabbing his fork in the crispy, burnt tater tot, and taking a short pause before bitterly munching down.
The brunet felt an odd sensation welling in the pit of his stomach—he ruled out the possibility of his hunger—and slowly realized he was truly an oddball: he could invade the privacy of anyone's mind, he was deemed attractive to a handful of girls that could become his girlfriend in an instant, he also had friends left and right. It was a question whether it was just the pressure of the tedious cycle in his four years when nothing sincerely appealed to his interest. He could suggest everything felt monochromatic around him: he was not unhappy, not in the slightest, but even he became aware over the years something was missing. His emerald eyes scanned the desolate cafeteria, giving an attempt to survey what the small space could provide to his questions, but he shook his head disappointingly and chugged the small carton of orange juice.
There was no room to complain, several people gathered in the cafeteria to eat their breakfast, several occupants' mind completely blank of ongoing thoughts to just silently digest the dull atmosphere of their Monday morning. He bit back his startled gasp as a chair slammed beside his table, the occupant eagerly leaning forward, elbows propped on the counter and his hands supporting either side of his cheekbones. Gold flashed him a neat set of pearly whites, his smile radiating his energetic energy in the gray morning, his amber eyes staring intensely at the discarded biscuit beside the scrambled eggs on Green's plate.
Green regarded him with an equally fitting smile. "Mooch off someone else."
Gold feigned an expression of hurt complemented with a melodramatic sniffle. "How could you not care that I could be starving here?" Wiping an invisible tear from the corner of his eye, Gold fished a spork hidden in the pocket of his cherry-red sweater, stabbing the prongs in the syrupy-drenched fruits Green set aside in a separate plastic saucer. "There's nothing like the taste of high fructose corn syrup to start the morning! Breakfast of champions, I tell ya."
Green raised the carton of orange juice, his voice laced with an amused tone. "Or the taste of partially frozen concentrated juice."
Gold raised another piece of fruit to his mouth yet his focus drifted slowly from his raging stomach growling to his redheaded best friend he has been eying in his three years in high school. Green rolled his eyes: Gold denied having any romantic feelings for Silver—or rather claimed he would never become a homosexual in general—yet his thoughts, as much as Green never intended to pry, were absolutely shameless. Ranging from the painfully sweet ideas to give him a small token or a strange present to the dreamy gaze that would indicate Gold's inward fantasies he would describe thoughtfully—and enough to make the brunet cringe, especially when the ramblings began while enjoying a slice of pizza in his lunch hour—piece by piece that would border NC-17.
'Oh god, I want to pin him down, take off his clothes, and fu—'
Green parted his focus from his food, his head shaking from mingled disbelief and disgust. Oh Mondays.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't salivate near my tray of food, it's gross," he said with a weary sigh.
Gold's back straightened; he blinked several times to recompose his behavior, a strained laugh echoing the empty cafeteria. His nervous compulsion to conceal his evident infatuation with Silver constantly lead him to brushing the matter off with terribly constructed joke—Green laughed regardless, it was so horrible he couldn't restrain the string of chuckles that would escape past his lips—or merely laugh. Thankfully, for the sake of not aggravating his Monday depression, Gold chose the latter and insisted on eating from the half-empty saucer of fruits.
"Don't judge me, it's not my fault my mannerism haven't surpassed the fourth grade. My mom spoiled me too much," Gold huffed defensively; in mock rage he stabbed the white grape with a little more force than necessary. Green rolled his eyes, trying to salvage the temporary bliss of his half-burnt, half-crispy tater tots in his ever eventful morning.
"By the way," Gold spoke rudely with his mouth full of crushed fruits, small pieces of the breakfast's skin flew on Green's tray. Goodness, it took every cell in Green's body not to slam his head against the plastic countertop repeatedly. The amber-eyed junior may have been the most social and hyperactive student the school has ever seen, however he had his major faults: failing to read the atmosphere, too brash, extremely and yet unintentionally discourteous, and too much a morning person. Suppressing the tempting compulsion to leave the table the brunet nodded for the ebony-haired to continue.
Flooded with relief, Gold swallowed his food before continuing. The junior raised his utensil, mindlessly twirling its edges between his fingers and asked, "What happened to that girl you hooked up with a week ago?"
"Broke up. She was too clingy."
It only became apparent to Green how lifeless his senior year has become especially in the cafeteria: the seniors that are fully on their way to college were very much missed for their antics: the school's very persuasive vegan, N, constantly protective over the hot-headed Black when he approached White—again, he'll never forget that blowjob.
"You're single?"
Green wiped his hands clean from the remains of the ketchup smearing his fingertips with a napkin, his jade-colored eyes not leveling with Gold's amber hues widening wide as saucers. "I know, right? Who could resist this?" Joking blandly, Green ran his hand over his hair smoothly and very slowly for emphasis. "Ah, but seriously. Y'know…it's not all that surprising."
'Girls kiss the very floor you walk on, you prick!' Gold paused to exclaim loudly in his head, the reaction caused Green to cringe how very vocal Gold's inner musings could be. "I wonder if anyone would ever reject your advances," Gold paused thoughtfully in silence, he shook his head when the answer came to him without any mental input. "Nah! Unheard of!"
"No one can," Green jeered teasingly.
"Oh yeah? Fifty bucks," Gold challenged, absently wiggling the spork between his thumb and forefinger, amber eyes briefly surveying the vacant lunchroom. "Fifty bucks to get that guy over there to like you. What was his name…? Red?"
Green raised a brow: fifty for a small challenge? How hard could it be? Although Gold had very little confidence in him—'There's no way someone like Red'll like him. Fifty bucks, here I come! Cha-ching!'—he could easily admit he has yet to be rejected formally although he was never one to make the approach as he could easily detect someone nearing him with their running tangent of thoughts, and he would never deny it alarmed him especially in the worst possible timing. In his last year of high school he arrived late to class nearly four times in the last five months since the semester began: his excuse? Lessen the headache of someone's thought bubble downgrading him with every passing hiccupping sob and an excessive amount of water works.
The challenge was cruel, insensitive, heartless, and had the highest chance the outcome will definitely have an ugly end, but it was a free fifty practically! Besides, there was not much to do regardless.
Senior year was a time to relax but also a time to stress the impending graduation that will mark, a few months later, the start of college. Unlike most seniors skittering around the halls to sign their names to win scholarships, attend interviews, or slaving away their lives to regain their credits after slacking off the previous years, Green never carried much of a concern. He was educated, his grades were phenomenal—even if he was caught one or twice resting his head on the desk, snoozing soundly during the teacher's lectures—his grandfather was renowned wildlife researcher, including the interactions of several animals to human life in his published journals. What college, what university, what anything will deny the grandson of Oak admittance?
Regardless of his exceptional performance—his grandfather was always kind enough to give his gratitude to Green for several animals under his care. In his delicate age there were tasks difficult to handle when the anxiety of the animals was at its peak, the creatures would have no qualms to attack with all their might—he had quit his previous job as a cashier at a local retail store. His grandfather and sister were persistent to remind him he needn't worry about his personal expenses or any other. He enjoyed buying himself a new pair of nikes without having to bother his grandfather or his sister – and seriously, he would never turn down an easy fifty. The brunet could leisurely use the amount he earned from the petty bet to buy himself and his family dinner, new clothes, or something trivial he usually finds himself purchasing.
Following Gold's line of vision, his orbs settled on the sight of a marble-white teen nibbling on a blueberry bagel, his attention fixated on Blue chatting up a storm with him yet his expression seemed completely mesmerized staring at the arched ceiling—then again it was Monday morning. Who could ever be smiling…oh wait—his lips in a fine line between frowning and eating sluggishly. He rested the bagel down on the plastic plate, nodded once to feign acknowledgement to the talkative brunet, and stuffed his free hand in his black-and-red messenger bag, the flap bent lazily from the hasty swipe of his hand, and then he slipped a piece of paper to Blue. Blue excitedly drew out her notebook, her hand gripping her pencil firmly to quickly copy the paper's content into her own lined paper. With her distracted and quiet, Red fished his iPod Touch from the pocket of his oversized red hoodie, pristine thin fingers flicked through the touch screen absentmindedly, and seemingly pleased with his choice he pocketed it away after pressing his finger on the selected song. Red puffed a weak breath of air on his black fringes, several loose strands of ebony hair falling near his large fire-red eyes, he then raised both hands to adjust the black Dr. Dre headphones on his ears before returning to his modestly light breakfast.
Well. If Blue was able to befriend Red then perhaps he might not seem as unapproachable as Green first regarded him.
'–I'll get myself a shitload of food at a buffet. And then invite Silver. Oh god, this bet is so mine! Unless he chickens out…'
Green drank the last drops of beverage inside his quart-sized carton of juice, very much amused at the mere prospect of Gold being the victor. It was not happening. The brunet snickered under his breath, resisting the savage urge to laugh. The senior was more than eager to begin at any given point; Gold did bring about an amusing challenge in the darkest hours of his terrible and moody Monday morning. There would be less of a distraction in the cafeteria's vacant morning, giving him an advantage to have Red's thoughts uninterrupted or droned from noisy interferences—
"You're on," he concluded confidently, startling Gold from his own train of thought.
Gold blinked. "You for real?" 'Green is going for a dude! This is some legit shit up in here!' "You're not just playing me?"
Green rolled his eyes. "I'm not."
'I can't tell if he's lying.'
The senior brunet shook his head in exasperation. "Of course I'm not lying! Why…! Uhm," realizing his wording without Gold actually posing a question, Green made wild hand gestures to sway the odd look Gold was giving him. "Is there, err, a time limit or something?"
Gold either disregarded his friend's peculiar behavior or completely forgot when the excitement was glinting in the bright amber hues, his wicked smile almost personally proving Green will willingly admit defeat first. "Starting today 'til…anytime before spring. Deal?" Gold proposed slyly, outstretching his hand.
A nod and handshake later declared their bet was for the taking, even if the prize is a meager fifty that, he realized a little later, will not get him anything of great value. However their competition was all in good-natured fun, not for the person of choice per se, between two teenagers who had nothing left to preoccupy their Monday morning besides eating the rest of the free period away or chugging down artificial preservatives down their throats. The two teens parted ways, one striding confidently to the lunch table occupied by Red and Blue, the other stalking towards another group of victims to pester or mooch off.
It came to a decent amount of surprise Red's thoughts have yet to revolve around the grandeur size of Blue's breast: a fair amount of cleavage exposed from her band-name v-neck shirt, beads from her gaudy blue-silver necklace trapped between the presentable spacing and faint exposure of her neon-pink bra, or taking a moment to complement her unblemished face, her appealing and seductive eyeliner, the plumpness of her coral-pink glossed lips—however such an image was slightly ruined regardless as she was completely absorbed in her work, her tongue poking out of the corner of her mouth in the utmost concentration—the cascading brown hair sweeping past her shoulders. It was a shame he broken up with her in the beginning of his senior year, everyone admired her when she wore her favorite short skirts in the summer or skin-tight jeans to complement her desirable ass. She was eyed by hormone-driven teens on a daily basis, how could Red not give not even a momentary damn?
Green furrowed his brows for a brief second. Hell! Blue even let her breast rest on the table, her body leaning forward and giving enough ample view of her most prominent feature. Red's mind was completely blank save for the song playing in his head.
'I'll say it to be proud, won't have my life turn upside down. Says the man with some, with some gold forged plan. Of life so incomplete, like weights strapped around my feet. Tread careful one step at a time.'
Blue tossed her pencil in her tote bag, mewling contentedly she finished her assignment with enough time to spare, and finally she cracked her knuckles before thanking Red graciously and promising to text him later.
'Please don't,' Red inwardly pleaded. Ah yes, Blue was entirely too endearing enough to overwhelm.
"Like, move aside Green! I've got places to go!" She huffed in mild irritation, slightly too childish enough to rationalize she could swerve around him to go to such "places."
"Say 'please,' your highness!" Green commented brashly, riling her further for his own amusement.
"How about no?"
"Do it."
Blue snarled, her bright white teeth flashing dangerously, in her impatience she stomped the heel of her white boots on Green's shoes viciously, and with a barely audible 'hmph' she left. "Dammit! That woman still acts like such a barbarian," he hissed under his breath. Despite the sheering pain in his toes pulsating through his leg he coughed to regain his composure, securing Blue's seat and flashing his own charming smile.
But even that moment his smile had almost faltered when the tactless Red sighed loudly through his nose, his eyes fixed in the opposite direction as if Green was a horrendous eyesore to society that he had to be in company of.
'Another annoyance. Ignore him and he'll probably go away.'
What a cheeky brat, the brunet thought moodily.
Green leaned forward to press the headphones down to fall on the teen's shoulders. For a fraction of a second Green contemplated running for dear life because the red eyes were maliciously narrowing, his expression evidently displaying his dismay over the unwanted company even daring to touch his headphones and interrupt the flow of his music.
Green retracted himself away from the ebony-haired teen. Casually he rested one hand under his chin, quirking his head a little in mock interest. "I'm Green," he remarked in a cool, friendly-like manner.
That, however, deflated once Red propped the headphones back on his ears. "Good for you," he answered quietly, his tone of voice adamantly against the encouragement of their short-lived verbal exchange.
Well. So much for an easy win.
If Red wanted to be difficult on the worst day of the school week then so be it.
A/N: Watch this not even be updated for ages;; Uh. If this is actually liked I'll be happy to continue? Like I said before, odd plot is odd. (Oh eww. I actually reduced my imagination to take on something that relates to school? Whattheshit.)
(What I did revise, but doesn't mean it's perfect, was mostly on the airplane. [Stupid flight delays!] Dat awkward moment if somebody sneaked tidbits of this.)

Dapoxetine Priligy is the very first drug ever to be specially formulated for treating men 18 to 64 years old who are having problems with premature ejaculation (abbreviated PE). Premature ejaculation or early ejaculation happens whenever a man feels orgasm and releases semen right after sex and/or with minimum stimulation of the penis. Dapoxetine Priligy belongs to a class of drugs called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). As a matter of fact, dapoxetine Priligy was originally created as an antidepressant for cases of mild to moderate depression in patients. The action of dapoxetine Priligy within the body is that it inhibits or stops the serotonin transporter's activity, thus increasing the action of serotonin at the post-synaptic cleft, and the end result would be a delay in ejaculation of the penis. Dapoxetine Priligy is not like any other SSRIs because it can easily be absorbed and taken quickly out of the system. Because of its fast-acting property, dapoxetine Priligy is suitably recommended by doctors for the treatment of premature ejaculation in men and not as an antidepressant drug.
Dapoxetine Priligy was originally developed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. After that, they sold Dapoxetine Priligy in 2003 to Johnson & Johnson. In the year 2004, Dapoxetine Priligy was applied as a new drug and submitted to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as a specific treatment for premature ejaculation in men. Dapoxetine Priligy has been sold widely in many Asian and European countries.
A male individual is a likely candidate for taking dapoxetine Priligy treatment if:
- He is between the ages of 18 to 64 years old.
- He has an IELT (intravaginal ejaculatory latency time) of below 2 minutes
- He easily ejaculates with only a minimal amount of sexual stimuli prior to, during, or shortly after penetration.
- He has poor control of his own ejaculation. He easily ejaculates even if he feels he does not want to yet.
- He shows obvious personal or interpersonal distress as a result of premature ejaculation.
- He has a marked history of premature ejaculation in most of his sexual activity within a 6-month period.

HONOLULU, Hawaii – The Marist softball team was defeated by Hawaii, 5-0, on Sunday night at the Spring Fling Tournament.
The Red Foxes had four hits in the game, led by junior shortstop Miranda Perez, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a single. Sophomore center fielder Casey Page and freshman first baseman Ali Milam each singled. Marist had two runners on with two outs in two innings – second and third in the third, first and second in the fifth.
Sophomore Megan Beiermeister held the Rainbow Wahine scoreless through three innings. In the fourth, Hawaii opened the scoring on a two-run infield single by designated player Callee Heen. Catcher Heather Cameron added an RBI groundout later in the inning. Hawaii expanded its lead to 5-0 an inning later as second baseman Sarah Muzik drove in a run on an infield single, and center fielder Danielle Garcielita scored on a wild pitch.
Beiermeister (4-2) took the loss, and went four-plus innings. Senior Jayne Oberdorf pitched two innings of relief, was not charged with a run, and allowed just one hit.
Dana Thomsen (6-2) pitched a complete game for Hawaii with seven strikeouts.
Marist is now 9-8 on the season. Hawaii is 15-9.
The Red Foxes return to action on Wednesday, when they begin a stretch of six games in four days at the Rainbow Wahine Classic, also hosted by Hawaii. Marist will face Purdue (5 p.m. EST) and Connecticut (10 p.m. EST) on Wednesday.

This beautiful apartment combines modernity and the charm of vintage items. In this very apartment lived the family of the famous French writer, poet and aviator Antoine de Saint Exupery. It has a maximum capacity of 6 persons and has two bedrooms overlooking a quiet courtyard, a lounge, a kitchen with traditional terracotta tiles and a stone sink, and a nice bathroom with a bath tub.
Situated in the 10th arrondissement, you can stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin, which is almost at the foot of the building. In addition, you will be 10 minutes' walk from the Marais. In the area, you will find all kinds of boutiques, bars, cafes and shops. The metro stop Republique (lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11) will allow you to move easily around the city and visit all the lovely sights Paris has to offer.
WiFi, and a dishwasher. The building has a laundry room shared with another apartment, with a washing machine and dryer.
2nd floor without a lift
From 16:00h.
Until 11:00h.
We loved this 2nd floor apartment. There were 5 of us: two slept in the double bedroom, two in the twin bedroom, and one on the pullout sofa I. The living room. We had ample room to relax while in the apartment. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and was a pleasure to cook in. The apartment was well situated near the Republique square. Although the door was on a busy street, the building itself was tucked back away from the street and was very quiet. We used the laundry facilities on the first floor and that also worked great.
Great location, very helpful check-in process.
Superbe appartement situé dans un quartier très agréable. Un grand merci a T et son équipe pour cet accueil chaleureux. Excellent service et propreté irréprochable . Nous renouvellerons cet expérience avec plaisir !
Schöne, frisch renovierte Altbauwohnung mit vielen tollen Details (wunderschöner Parkettboden, Stuckdecke, abgelaugte Türen...). Alles war absolut sauber. Die Küche ist mehr als perfekt mit hochwertigen Geräten ausgestattet. In zwei Minuten erreicht man den Place de la Republique und die Metro.
10 out of 10! It was exactly as indicated in the lovely photos taken from the flat , very practical and super clean. Fantastic appartment with all we could have hoped for in a top location within easy proximatey to the Metro, Canal and some lovely restuarants and patisseries. It was suprisingly quiet and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were washing our clothes also in the washing machine located in the building hallway, 3 meters away from our flat, thus we would have needed much less clothes. I truly love this people who try to make your stay memorable , home way home in a truly parisien atmosphere. We will come back and definitely recommend you to our friends

I know I do not have anything like solid evidence. However, speculation, especially in a way no one has stated before is a good way to get people looking for new and different information. Without speculation would people have started digging below Clovis layers and discovering earlier human traces? Be assured, my imagination will not be discouraged. Imaging is too much fun, and I don't confuse facts with speculation.
Digging below Clovis layers? Straight down? How did that work?

Cano's 10th-inning homer lifts Mariners over Astros 3-2
Robinson Cano homered early off Dallas Keuchel, then connected for a tiebreaking shot in the 10th inning Saturday night that led the Seattle Mariners over the Houston Astros 3-2.
Cano got four hits. He leads the majors with 32 RBIs and tops the AL with 11 home runs.
Cano sent a pitch by Tony Sipp (0-2) into the seats in left field with one out in the 10th to give Seattle its fifth victory in six games. Cano has been especially good against the Astros, piling up 13 hits with four homers and 16 RBIs in six games.
Luis Valbuena hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth off Mariners reliever Steve Cishek (2-1) to tie it at 2.
It was a wild game that included Houston manager A.J. Hinch's ejection in the eighth for arguing a strikeout by Carlos Correa, followed by Astros center fielder Carlos Gomez being ejected as he ran to his position in the 10th.

New York State's Comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli, released an audit of the financial practices of the New York Racing Association. He concluded that NYRA "continues to produce multi-million dollar annual deficits in its racing operations," and that continuing this trend means that "NYRA's long-term solvency could be a long shot." 875 more words

Pretty, but not functional
I love the look of the case, but when I put it on my phone, it wasn't functional. When I use the phone my face would push the mute button or speaker phone. It was very annoying. I would have to hold the phone away from my face to be able to talk to people. I finally took it off and put my old case back on. I was just glad I didn't pay a lot for it.

By Alan Gomez, USA TODAY
Flooded cities in northern Maine will be mopping up and fire crews will be facing wildfires in the Southwest this weekend as a storm system along the Mississippi River Basin threatens to dump up to 3 feet of snow in spots.
The flooding of Fort Kent, Maine, from the St. John River seems to have reached its peak, according to Aroostook County Emergency Management Agency. More than 600 people have been evacuated and up to 150 homes have flood damage in several small cities near the Canadian border, said Vernon Ouellette, director of the agency.
Ouellette said up to 30 people had to be airlifted to safety at the height of the flooding but that as of Thursday the waters had begun to recede.
"We're looking on the upside of things now, finally," Ouellette said.
Bernadette Dubois, 60, of Fort Kent, spent the day cleaning up at her home, where several inches of water in her cellar threatened her furnace and water heater.
"They saying it's starting to recede. But not by much," Dubois said. "It's stressful."
Dubois said helicopters have been flying from a field near her house nearly non-stop, taking food and supplies to stranded residents.
"I can hardly sleep," she said.
Meanwhile, a second consecutive day of winds that gusted to 60 mph pushed a wildfire toward several communities near Albuquerque.
The Trigo Fire had been 95% contained on Wednesday before a spot fire jumped the containment line and pushed the fire northeast. High winds continued that path Thursday, and fire crews struggled to keep up with the fast-moving fire, said Keyco Lueras, a spokesman with the teams battling the fire.
Lueras said up to 500 people in the towns of Torreon and Tajique have been asked to evacuate as the fire has burned up more than 11,000 acres. Red-flag conditions are supposed to continue through the weekend, and Lueras said it could take days to fully contain the blaze. "They're still trying to flank the fire," he said.
As the fires rage and the waters wane, the biggest weather disturbance of the weekend will come from a simple storm. Cities along the Mississippi River valley will receive the worst of the storm today, according to Tom Moore, lead meteorologist at The Weather Channel.
Moore said some areas along the Black Hills in South Dakota could receive up to 3 feet of snow and Rapid City may get up to a foot.
Thunderstorms and hail could batter the Great Lakes region. And farther south around Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, conditions look favorable for heavy tornado activity.
"It should be an active day from the Great Lakes all the way down," Moore said.
The storm system should ease up by Saturday, but will continue pouring rain from New York to the Southeast. And that, Moore said, could make for a soggy day at the Kentucky Derby.
"It's going to rain there in the morning for sure," Moore said. "But it should break up by midday."

My writing style has always been a bit crass but the intentions and outcome true honest and unforgiving. This assignment was truly the hardest of my life but lead to an open door and a meeting of beauty, which without I don't believe could have ever, happened. Believe it or not for the first time in my life I wrote about honesty. I went to school the final day and handed in a one-page report on life of a mediocre student, I titled it "HONESTY"
* * *
HONESTY by Thomas Miller-Young
I could spend my time speaking in undertones and metaphors, wasting my breath and lying my way through another meaningless essay, as i have time and again, but I have been thinking and your class has turned me inside out. I know you probably don't even know who I am, but I am hurt, lost and angry, though you would even know my name. My name is Thomas Owen Miller-Young but you will know me best if you call me Franklin Owen. I am a mediocre student and have never been honest a day in my life. My best friend is the man that looks back from the other side of the mirror and you don't even want to hear what he has to say about me, I have been lost in a continuous world of foggy confusion and late night crying sessions lately. I know you won't care and I am not going to pass this essay but you have to know that I have thought long and hard about your request and can not complete the requirements.
I am not original.
I have lived sixteen years under the impression I could get by without notice and so far I haven't done badly. The only things which are original will never change and if I haven't found it yet, I am sorry to say you will not hear it here. I am not completely sure I would be willing to share that.
In closing I know I am to you FRANKLYN OWEN
* * *
That was the first time I had referred to myself as Franklin and from that point it stuck.
I dropped the report on her desk the final day and left.
I never came back.
I sometimes wish I could have heard back but I know nothing good could have come from this.

Considering the skill level of players at .01/.02 stakes, is that a bad beat or I had to re-raise after grabbing the flush? I just felt like slowplaying till the river.
I'd say that's a bad beat. He rarely catches the full house by the river, most of the time you'll take him for a lot there. Don't worry about it.
I think that being able to tell when your flush is beat by a full house on river is an extremely advanced skill and one you don't need for micro micro limits.
raise or fold the nuts on turn doesnt matter?? hmmm questionable logic john perhaps an oversight haha.
anyways yeh cant fold river... but yeh so u mean john money will get in no matter what worse or better hands. so who cares?
i always like raising turn only cuz i know sets are hoping for board to pair up alot and flushes never folding.
im folding pre to utg raise with kts... usually like 3betting but this aint a good spot since we will be heavily dominated.
re: Poker & $2 NLHE 6-max: Bad Beat or poorly played?
Calling UTG opens with KT is asking for trouble. Even over a very small sample, 18/12 indicates a tight player, and when he opens UTG you're behind his range with KT and dominated by a good percentage of it.
On the flop, you called a pot-sized bet with a flush draw. I don't like this play - I think raising or folding is much better. You're not getting the direct odds to call a pot sized bet, and when you flat, it's really easy for him to barrel turn. Turn is not a heart more than 80% of the time, and you usually have to fold to a second barrel.
On the other hand, if you raise flop, he's folding most of his preflop opening range (almost all of which is still ahead of you). The hands he can continue with are sets, overpairs, and nut flush draws. Most of the time these hands flat call a flop raiser and check to you on the turn, where you can check behind, see a free river, and realize the entire equity you have in the hand.
As played I probably would've raised the turn, because that A hits his range far harder than it does yours. He's raised UTG and double barreled OOP postflop - chances are he has a hand, and players at 2NL tend to have difficulty letting hands go.
Slowplaying definitely isn't bad though, because he's probably betting or check/calling most non-heart rivers.
The river is a really tough spot in my mind. I can't think of a hand that logically takes this line other than 8s full, aces full, 3s full, or quad 6s. Overbets are generally polarizing - either a monster or air. Ace-broadway wants to get called by worse aces, so should usually be betting smaller for value.
The thing is, at 2NL, players don't always make logical decisions. Your hand is huge - you're beaten by a very small number of full houses. Despite my inability to think of logical hands that you beat, I would still lean towards a call. You played passively the whole hand, and there's plenty of aggro fish that will just barrel away mindlessly at a passive player.
This was a very hard hand to play in my opinion. I think the correct decision was marginal on every street (except preflop). On the flop, calling, raising, and folding are all perfectly viable options. On the turn, raising and calling are both viable. And on the river, calling and folding are both viable. I recognize that I am a very aggressive player and as such tend to favor raising over calling even with big hands, but playing monsters passively definitely isn't wrong.
I'll wrap up with this quote from the Mersenneary E-Book (the book is about HUSNG but a lot of concepts are applicable to all forms of poker).
"The more rare the situation and the closer the decision, the less you should care about the answer of what action you should have taken."
While the board pairing when you have a straight or flush isn't ultra-rare, the fact that the decision is so close means that it's not very important to your long-term EV. So don't worry too much about it
Idt its questionable logic, but more so if you raise and hit the flush no matter what happens, you're calling.
Raising the flop is more standard then raising the turn, as I think if he jams or 4-bets we fold always. Bigger flush draws will call on the turn and a smaller flush draw (maybe a Q I guess would call) is folding a paired board anyway even if they hit.
I will admit I am looser then some, but I also play on higher stakes (maybe as to why I disagree folding pre-flop to UTG). But at micro I'm folding here to bis stats.

Brief Description
The aim of this exercise is to support 96 Urban Local Bodies of Madhya Pradesh in preparing the City Development Plan (CDP) for their respective cities. The CDP should provide a comprehensive medium term strategy (Vision 2035) as well as a City Investment Plan (CIP), based on which the concerned ULB will be able to access funds under GoI/GoMP schemes as well as from own and other sources based on priority actions and projects identified in the CDP. The document should also provide Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilising various financial resources to implement the identified projects.
The City development Plan must adhere with the JNNURM's CDP preparation toolkit. The inadmissible components under JNNURM should also be included in the task. The CDP should also include Broad Master planning of the town (using GIS) and should be prepared keeping in view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by Town and Country Planning Department. It is also expected that the CDP would provide Urban Reform Action Plan for the ULBs as envisaged under JNNURM.
Preparation of the CDP will consist of city development strategies that come out of a structured consultative process. The process will enable elected representatives, key staff of MC departments, parastatal agencies and other institutions, policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial, social and economic development of the concern cities. A City Development Plan (CDP) will present both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULB's strategic framework of sectoral plans translated into actions that define on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next five years.

• As accolades go, it's a little on the underwhelming side, but plaudits are plaudits and Billy Davies holds the record for most Championship Manager of the Month awards. Shrewd new signing Jamie Mackie, Andy Reid and Henri Lansbury got the goals that secured Forest their third win on the bounce and pushed them to the top of the table. Bolton are left to rue what has been an outrageously tricky start to the season; Davies will likely have a new trophy to add to his collection come 1 September.
• Game of the day was at the Madejski, where Nigel Adkins' Reading and Gianfranco Zola's Watford both played exactly the kind of handsome, attacking and progressive football that isn't supposed to happen in the Championship (but which actually does most weeks). A brace from Jem Karacan and an Adam Le Fondre goal gave the Royals a 3-1 lead early in the second half but Watford stormed back to draw 3-3 thanks to goals from Troy Deeney and Diego Fabbrini.
• Little more than four months ago Charlton were sweeping aside Barnsley 6-0 as they finished the season with a swagger. But four months are a long time in Championship football and on Saturday the Addicks had to battle hard to avoid their third straight defeat of the season at Oakwell. David Flitcroft's side grabbed their first goals of the season courtesy of a brace from Chris O'Grady. Jordan Cousins and Simon Church pulled two goals back and earned Charlton a point.
• Albert Adomah and Frazer Richardson look decent additions to Middlesbrough's cause, and promised to test Blackpool's solid early season form. But it was a familiar story at the Riverside, as Boro huffed, puffed and generally failed to open up the visitors. Chris Basham looked to have added insult to injury by snatching all three points for the Seasiders with their first shot of the game. Marvin Emnes saved Boro's blushes with a last-gasp equaliser.
• Other notable Championship results were Leicester inflicting Derby's first defeat of the season in a tight east Midlands derby and Bournemouth bouncing back from their thrashing at Watford with a creditable home win over Wigan. QPR squeezed past Ipswich 1-0.
League One
• Few will be surprised that Wolves (2-1 against Bristol City) and Peterborough (2-1 against Oldham) have started their League One campaigns in such fine fettle, but Colchester United have been one of the less favoured sides that have been fast out of the blocks. Former England U-21 Freddie Sears put the U's ahead at Sheffield United. Harry Maguire equalised for the Blades. Both the other impressive League One 'minnows' – Leyton Orient and Walsall – continued their unbeaten ways.
• At the start of the season, Martin Allen boasted that his Gillingham side would 'smash' the division. The Gills promptly opened with back-to-back defeats, but Allen looked to have finally wiped the egg off his face by masterminding a 1-0 win over his former employers Brentford. Farid El Alagui then scored a 90th minute equaliser for the Bees.
• Before kick off today, Carlisle had conceded 12 goals in three games while Coventry City arrived on the back of their 5-4 win against Bristol City. An explosive basement clash looked on the cards and so it proved. A Leon Clarke double, Franck Moussa and Billy Daniels piling the pressure on Carlisle manager Greg Abbott as the Sky Blues romped to a 4-0 victory. In the week Abbott strengthened his squad by signing a striker.
League Two
• Plymouth notched the coupon busting result of the day, winning for the first time this season at Cheltenham for whom the Abbey is so often a fortress. Marvin Morgan, Conor Hourihane and Romuald Boco put Plymouth into a three goal lead. Matt Richards pulled back a consolation goal.
• Oxford United and Southend made it three wins out of three at the top of the league, by beating Torquay (1-3) and Northampton (2-0). There was also some respite for the league's stragglers: Bury picked up their first win of the season by defeating Accrington 3-0, while Hartlepool picked up their first point of the season by drawing 0-0 at York City.
