We can't say enough about this house- its a beauty! From the spacious rooms, beautiful bedding, gourmet kitchen to the amazing pool and closeness to the beach. We loved every bit of this house. See you again- most definitely!
Even though our group was small, we each enjoyed having our own bedrooms and private baths PLUS the house had a laundry room and the attached 2-BR 2 bath cottage had its own kitchen, living area, and washer/dryer. The great room was large so we could congregate there and/or outside on the deck (with another large dining area) or the small pool with hot tub deck area. Next time we plan to stay longer.
We stayed at this property on our first trip to Hilton head this past June and it did not disappoint. To be honest when we arrived at the property we realized right away that the pictures do not do the house justice. It is way nicer than the pictures represent. Usually the pics on vacation properties look great until you get to the house and see what it really looks like. That was not the case for this property because it was better than what was represented which was a pleasant surprise. The management was very professional and to be honest this might be the first time we have stayed somewhere without an issues. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again if we ever some back to Hilton Head. It's a short bike ride away from Coligny square!
We spent a lovely week at this house with our entire family. There was plenty of room for everyone without feeling that we were right on top of each other! The bedrooms were cool, clean, and inviting! Having a bathroom attached to each bedroom really was fantastic. Everyone could get ready to go out for the evening at the same time. No small feat! The kitchen was large, well equipped, and open to the great room so you always had an eye and an ear on all the activity as you prepared meals. The pool and deck is where we spent most of our days. There is a bathroom that is accessible directly from the pool deck. So smart!
The beach and ocean were just a few steps from the house, and that pretty much clinched it as the nicest house we've rented to date. It doesn't hurt that it's a few blocks from Coligny Plaza either. All in all a great rental experience. We look forward to a return visit. Thanks so much, Chantal, and the good folks at BG.
The home was perfect for our family vacation! Chantal, you & the staff at BG made us feel so comfortable about renting your home from my very first phone call & email! All of you truly cared that it would meet our needs. It was very clean & spacious! It had all the comforts of home & more! Loved having the huge kitchen for our big family! We had several chefs working together at the same time & not getting in each others way! The private pool, spa, gas grill, garage parking, elevator & even the ping pong table was a bonus! The grandchildren truly enjoyed hanging out at the house playing games at the kitchen table & night swimming in the pool. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach, bike trail nearby & Coligny Plaza! Chantal, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us for a very memorable week with our family! Our family is a Brady Bunch story & we can't tell you what it meant to all of us to be together in one big house again with all our children & grandchildren. We are a close family that truly enjoyed being together! We see our family frequently because our children live nearby, but having our family together enjoying each others company day & night for one week in one big house at the beach where we honeymooned meant the world to my husband & I. Thank you & God willing we will be back! Vacationing with our family at Mallard was a dream come true!
Our stay at Mallard was perfect! The 1st thing we noticed was the proximity to the beach which is super convenient when you have small children. The garage & elevator were nice touches & when we walked in the main house we were blown away. We own 3 vacation homes that we rent out ourselves & this owner has done everything right. Spacious, clean, well equipped with every kitchen item you could imagine & would be perfect for large groups/families. Even though you don't really have an ocean view, the pool & spa view is beautiful. The pool & spa were always warm & worked perfectly (they even had pool floats & toys available). It was the best we've ever had. It was the warmest pool I've ever been in which made the stay so much nicer. Our 2 small children loved playing in the sunroom upstairs because of the carpet & every bedroom had a TV & bathroom. The beds were all super comfortable & it was nice that linens were included so we could fully enjoy our time away. The neighborhood was wonderful & quiet. We took bike rides every evening & even walked to breakfast at Skillets in Coligny Square. The beach was wonderful & never crowded. Many nights we sat & watched the dolphins swim by right in front of us. We would highly recommend this home to anyone vacationing in Hilton Head. We can't wait to come back!!
If you are looking for a luxury home, steps from the beach and a short bike ride to shops and restaurants, this house is the place. The home is absolutely beautiful with a bathroom in each bedroom for privacy. The kitchen is perfect for large groups and entertaining. We loved to BBQ on the deck while enjoying the pool and later in the evenings enjoying a glass of wine in the sauna. Morning was my favorite part of the day, enjoying my coffee on the 2nd floor balcony, then walking a few steps to the beach to take a power walk up or down the beach while watching the dolphins swim in the sea. Then coming back through the trails which are full of beautiful foliage and the trees canopy overhead. Hilton Head is a treasure on the East Coast. Not only beautiful, with amazing golf courses and all the sea worthy entertainment you could ask for, but great fun! My children ages 9 - 18 absolutely had a ball. They loved that they could play volleyball on the beach and ride to town on their bikes. An absolute must would be to stop and get a Mango Custard ice cream and don't miss the blue crab chowder. You can have your days packed full of activities or you can just enjoy the beautiful ocean steps from your beautiful home, its very convenient when you can just take a 2 minute stroll from your chair to your rental to freshen your drink. Can't wait to go back!

Chennai, Jun 18: DMK treasurer and Opposition Leader in Tamil Nadu assembly M K Stalin today rejected reports of differences with his father and party chief M Karunanidhi, as he charged arch rival AIADMK with trying to create confusion among DMK workers.
Stalin also described as "indecent allegation", Finance Minister O Panneerselvam's claim that DMK's demand for proper facilities for wheelchair-bound Karunanidhi to attend Assembly proceedings was due to problems between him and Karunandhi.
"The contention by Panneerselvam and reports in some dailies supporting them (AIADMK) that there are differences between the father (Karunanidhi) and the son (Stalin) are completely false. The efforts by AIADMK to create confusion in DMK will not succeed," he said.
Panneerselvam should not resort to making such "baseless" allegations, he said. "There cannot be a worse allegation than that I snatched away the Opposition Leader's post from Kalaignar (Karunanidhi).
In fact, when DMK was in power, he allowed me to reply on the debate on Governor's address," Stalin said recalling his father's Chief Ministerial tenure.
On Panneerselvam's claim that a letter from Stalin to Speaker P Dhanapal on the seating arrangement for DMK MLAs did not mention Karunanidhi's name, the Opposition Leader said his party whip R Sakkarapani had seperately taken up the DMK chief's case through a letter.
Stalin said he himself had drawn Karunanidhi's attention to that particular letter and that he had approved it. He also chided Panneerselvam for Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa not taking him along during her Delhi visit earlier this week.
She had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and presented a dossier of demands for funds for projects in various sectors. On Friday, Panneerselvam had alleged that DMK's row over seating arrangement for Karunanidhi in the Assembly was a fallout of differences between him and Stalin.
He had also alleged that Stalin had "snatched away" the Opposition Leader's post from Karunanidhi, who was the top DMK leader.

Case Study: Wealth-X Professional for Non-for-Profits
The Carbon War Room (CWR) is an international non-profit organisation founded by Richard Branson in 2009 and incubated under Virgin Unite.
The mission of Carbon War Room is to accelerate the adoption of business solutions that reduce carbon emissions at gigaton scale and advance the low-carbon economy.
The Carbon War Room faced with the challenge of identifying and reaching potential donors with the strongest affinity to its mission and thus with the highest potential to become new founder circle members.
The Carbon War Room selected Wealth-X to conduct a 2-part strategy. The first part of the strategy was to identify potential donors through a Future Donor Exercise.
Utilising the "Known Associates" capability within Wealth-X Professional, Wealth-X analysed 10 key relationships from CWR to map the strongest connections from each relationship, forming a list of warm prospects.
In total, 125 UHNW warm prospects were found, with an estimated value of US$196 billion.
- Key Relationships……….10
- Total UHNW Warm Prospects……….125
- Total Est. Value of UHNW Prospects……….US$196 Billion
For part two of the strategy, the Carbon War Room utilized Wealth-X Professional dossiers to further narrow down the list of warm prospects based on affinities. This intelligence allowed the Carbon War Room to identify qualified prospects that are closely aligned with their organisation's mission and helped them prioritise their work.
Wealth-X's Future Donor Strategy and bespoke intelligence dossiers enabled the Carbon War Room to adopt an efficient and effective approach to driving growth and expanding its donor base.
With Wealth-X, the Carbon War Room was able to identify individuals that understand catalytic philanthropy and business opportunities of climate change and who already have a propensity to make a positive impact through a market-driven approach.

Is private school a good investment?
Relevant offers
As another school year grinds into gear, many parents are faced with some big decisions. Co-ed or single sex? State, integrated or private? Boarding or day student?
No option is cheap but going to a state school is certainly the most economic.
Apart from a uniform, stationery and an (arguably) optional school donation, families will probably only have to budget for travel and incidental costs like a camp during the year.
However, for a small percentage of the student population, school will be a private or "special character" institution.
Fees at these schools range widely from $4,000 to $18,000 a year, and more for boarders.
So what do you get for your dollar?
The most regularly given reasons for private education are smaller classes and good teachers, which usually coincide with better exam pass rates.
Auckland's ACG Senior College is a case in point. The school is one of six owned by a private company and is geared specifically to students aged 15 and over.
It is an urban, non-boarding school, deliberately based close to Auckland University.
"We have students who are finishing their A-levels here and doing university at the same time," says principal Kathleen Parker.
The cost of attending ACG Senior College is about $16,000 a year but its academic record is strong - 95 per cent of its students met the University Entrance minimum in 2009/10.
Parker acknowledges that high expectations are a "huge part" of that pass rate but she believes it also has a lot to do with the school's pastoral approach.
Smaller numbers mean teachers can catch those lagging behind, and bullying is harder to hide.
"There's very few students who'd slip through the cracks and lots of individual attention available," she said.
"We've got fantastic public schools in New Zealand ... but it's still a big job managing those schools."
A key difference for independent schools is that because they receive a minimal amount of state funding, they can choose whether to follow the state curriculum.
Instead of the state's NCEA exam system, Parker's school uses the Cambridge International Exam, and also recently began offering the International Baccalaureate programme to accommodate students wanting to go to university in the Northern Hemisphere.
Fans of private schools argue that they are better-resourced to turn out the problem-solving, independent thinkers who will be needed in the future.
But don't write off the state system yet.
Research shows that even in our public schools, New Zealand students are outperforming other countries.
Stuart Middleton, an education expert at Manukau Institute of Technology, says the state sector "stacks up pretty well".
"It provides most of our successful students, by sheer fact of the numbers," he said.
But it is also clear that a lot of that success comes from high-decile schools. So while it's possible to have a high-performing student in a state school, they're more likely to have come out of homes where expectations and support for their education is high, and they're well-prepared to hit high school.
But what about those high pass rates? Is it possible schools select only the brightest or even only allow some students to sit exams, skewing their results?
Middleton says that's possible but unlikely.
"If you've got the money you go." he said.
"The selection that's done on that sort of group is done outside the school. It's done by a lot of home circumstances, the wealth of the parents, a whole lot of other factors."
There's also the undeniable fact that private school can enrich their students with resources that state schools can only dream off.
Arts and sports programmes are often extensive, and then there are the schools that base themselves on certain values.
So it would be a shame if parents based their decision solely on academic pass rates, says Beth Rogerson, principal of Solway College in Masterton.
"For me, if I was choosing a school for my child, I would look at the NCEA results, I would look at the Education Review Office report, I would listen to what other people say," she said.
"A lot of people send their children to our school because other families tell them that their children do well here or, probably just as important, that they're happy here."
She would also visit to school to get a "feel" for the relationships between teachers and their students.
"But it's certainly not an exact science."
Solway, like many religious or alternative schools, is not strictly "private" because it has integrated with the state system.
That means it teaches the state curriculum, gets more state funding but retains the features that make it distinctive.
Solway's point of difference is that it's Christian, a girls' school, and largely for boarders. Its fees vary from $4600 for a day girl to $12,116 for a weekly boarder and $15,648 for a full boarder.
The school does well academically, but like Parker, Rogerson believes parents are drawn to her school for other reasons, namely its values - and the supervised homework that boarders are expected to do every night.
A surprise to many parents is that like any school, there are always the extra incidental costs on top of fees.
One private school advises parents to set aside $3500 a year for stationery, school trips and sports costs.
Rogerson says her school does have some compulsory activities but parents should know about them in advance.
"We try to be pretty clear about what costs are involved," she said.
"There shouldn't be hidden costs."
And while boarding school is not the cheapest option, she points out there are some financial savings to be had.
"Things like electricity, meals, are taken care of," she said.
"There's also a time factor in that for our students, we take them to sports events ... things like that."
Finances aside, both Parker and Rogerson say that choosing a school largely comes down to where you think your child will fit in best.
"If I was a parent, I'd be saying what's in my area? Am I happy with the public school in my area? Am I happy with the personalised work my child gets? And if I'm not, I'll look around," says Parker.
The price of a good education - a representative sample
STATE SCHOOL Burnside High, Christchurch Uniform: Girls from $340, boys from $301 Voluntary donation: $170 for the first child, to $88.50 each for four. Other costs: $30 PTA donation, $7.50 student ID, $8 student planner. Incidentals like school trips unknown. Total: From $516.50 a year for one child.
INTEGRATED Solway College, Masterton (Costs exclude uniform) Fees: From $4600 a year for a day girl, to $15,648 for full board (includes attendance fees, donation and other fees). Other costs: Dependent on child. *Tax credit available on donation segments of the fee. Discount: Available for sisters
PRIVATE Scots College, Wellington (Costs exclude uniform) Tuition: $14,676 (year 1-2) to $19,228 (year 11-13) per year. Average board (on top of tuition): $11,876 (weekly boarder), $15,320 (full-boarder) per year. Other costs: About $350 per month for incidentals such as stationery, sports trips, cultural activities. Discount: 10 per cent on third child. Total: For a year 11-13 pupil, from $22,728 (for a day pupil) to $38,048 (full boarder) per year

Kelsi Halliday reckons she has her life back free of drugs and alcohol thanks to a couple of equine healers.
The young Whangarei mum hit rock bottom and went through rehabilitation, but it was her experience on the Horses for Healing course that has seen her regain her confidence and allowed her to tackle her mental health illness.
"These horses have given me my life back," the 24-year-old mother of one said.
"My whole concept of life and mindset has changed. I focus on the positive things in life and the horses help to do that."
Kelsi, who is also bipolar, has been clean and sober since June last year.
Trusty steads Hope and Kauri have in their quiet horsey way plodded along taking Kelsi on a ride of recovery.
"I used to have a horse when I was 8 years old. So for me it was taking me back to the simple times before life got hectic.
"Working with the horses has given me the confidence to sit through a job interview. Because dealing with a 17 hand high horse in a bad mood makes doing a job interview very easy."
Kelsi has learnt about mucking out stables, grooming and tacking up before getting on a horse's back.
But when she first joined the course she weighed in at more than 100kg. The maximum weight for riding the horses was 90kg - so she started a weight loss programme which saw her shed the necessary weight to enable her to take the next step in her healing with horses and that's on horseback.
"When I first started coming to horses with healing I was very nervous about what I was going to be doing.
"I know the power behind a horse but it's a trust thing that develops over time. And as that developed I got more confidence."
Her father has noticed a huge change and reckons he is getting his girl back.
She becomes emotional when she talks about the changes others have seen in her since her involvement with the horses.
"That makes me feel good," she says with a tear in her eye.
"It's about finding your way through the tough times and I don't let the crap affect me so much these days."
The horses and trainers have recently moved to a new base at Saddle Up riding centre, on Mangakahia Rd.
Arataki mental health community support worker Hazel Squires heads the course and personally knows the healing powers of horses.
After Hazel's husband died of a brain tumour she reached a low point.
"There have been times in my life when horses have been my saviour, so I know they work."
She said horses were non-judgmental and people learnt bit by bit and together they developed a bond over the 10-week course.
The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week, starting on Monday, is "connect".
The Mental Health Foundation said connecting with others was the most powerful tool to have for feeling happy and mentally well!
"Connecting isn't only good for our mental health. People with strong social lives perform better on memory and cognition tests. Regular social interaction maintains brain vitality - it reduces stress levels, which helps maintain healthy connections among brain cells," a spokeswoman said.

Happy Birthday, Mad Hatter.Mature
This is quite intense and it is based upon a sexual experience I had which was a birthday present for my 16th birthday at the beginning of 2009. It really is something private but I thought I would share it with you to make it poetic and somewhat beautiful. It's not really beautiful. I don't know what to call it. Just don't judge me on this. It's Alice in Wonderland themed. The identity of the person I did this with is staying entirely secret because they want to be kep
Sizzle. Burn.
Poke into the darkness with that pointy tongue,
Touch it to mine and I can taste the scolding scent,
The fire has been put out. Sizzle. Bittersweet whisper-
Burn. Passion roars and gripping happens,
New secrets are being hissed,
This is how you make me scream.
Bite me here. On the neck.
Shuddering whispers,
That's my weak spot.
Wearing conventional striped socks and a top hat,
The mad hatter loses himself in a bittersweet wonderland.
Happy Birthday. Silence. Whispers. Hiss.
Shattered dreams happened in this bed,
Crying happened upon the queen's throne,
Your hair, purple glare. Sprawled across the damp, torn pillow,
Now we question; who wants to dominate this cold evening?
Lips part and breathing races itself against the clock.
Shhh, now.
Jumping with each other upon the checkered tiles,
Mirrors, cats and all things lonely, broken clocks and portraits,
Fantasy, castles and romantic dances. Fake, we whisper. Fake.
This is the reality we have dreamed of for so long,
Now let us turn off the light, my sweet,
Block out the main sense and see where we can go together.
Outline our shadows and become one,
Hearts throbbing. King and Queen.
Sudden outburst. I had the throne now.
Go on, hiss in my ear and straddle my ragdoll body!
Throw me around. Bite my lip and make it bleed!
Tug. Grip. Burn. Sizzle. Breathe.
Silence. You whisper in my ear...
Don't be shy, small pixie, work your magic on me.
Grip. Breathe. Pant. Sweat. Burn,
Oh how I yearn.
Blood tainted,
Lust painted.
Passion on the bed,

India's software services and business process outsourcing (BPO) industry took some cheer from the finance minister's budget speech, which said rules on safe harbour will be issued after examining recommendations of the Rangachary Committee, the last of which is expected by the end of next month. Safe harbour was announced in the budget in 2009 but the rules are yet to be finalised and become effective.
""The proposed safe harbour for the IT sector is not really new. What is important is when it's going to be implemented,"" said Ganesh Natarajan, former Nasscom chairman and CEO of Zensar Technologies BSE -1.08 %. Some of the transfer pricing issues relate to loans given to foreign subsidiaries and to whether companies are keeping more profits in their overseas subsidiaries to avoid paying tax here.
Software companies have been complaining about harassment and arbitrary demands being made by tax authorities on transfer pricing. Till a few years back, most transfer pricing demands were made on captives and foreign IT firms but now several India headquartered firms are also facing issues. ""Some of the demands are totally absurd and arbitrary,"" said the CEO of a Pune-based software firm, who requested anonymity. ""Anyone who has a foreign subsidiary is facing trouble,"" he said.
Most of the other issues facing software industry have also not received much attention in the budget.
""Budget 2013 has been disappointing for the IT-BPO sector,"" said Pradeep Udhas, partner, IT & ITES, KPMG India. ""The main issues raised by the industry like rollback of taxation on software treated as royalty, removal of the minimal contiguous land requirement for SEZs, dual levy of VAT and service tax on domestic software sales and more clarity on transfer pricing norms for the sector have been left unaddressed. One hopes that the finance minister will keep his promise of releasing the findings of the Rangachary committee by end of March 2013,"" he said.
One of the recommendations of industry body Nasscom was that dual taxation — service tax and VAT — on software products be resolved. Additionally, companies said revenues from software licensing transactions should not be viewed as royalty payments. ""These revenues should be viewed as payments for 'use of a copyrighted article' rather than as royalty,"" said Hanuman Tripathi, group managing director, Infrasoft Technologies.
""Retroactive amendments coupled with conflicting jurisprudence on the subject mandates a need for rationalisation of treatment of software as "Royalty" which is subject to tax in India. Roll back of taxation of the same is clearly the ask of the industry as the non-compliance implications are dual – one in the form of interest levy and penal consequences and the other in the form of disallowance of the same as expenditure whilst computing the taxable income of the payer,"" said Pallavi Singhal, associate director – tax and regulatory services, PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Some of the other demands of the outsourcing industry were a tailored incentive model for R&D, extending it to products and services and that R&D services should be made eligible for SEZ benefits. Some companies were also hoping for a reduction in Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on SEZs to 10%.

So, here I was, walking to this dead girl's parent's house. What mother would do this to their own son?
I knocked on the door and Debbie opened the door, "Thank you so much for coming make, you have no idea how much this means to us."
I muttered something along the lines of "you're welcome" and slouched in. Nothing had changed.
Debbie's mouth was beaming so much I thought it would crack at the sides, but her eyes remained distant, "You can put your shoes under the mirror and can hang your coat up on the spare peg over there."
I hung my jacket up, next to a white cardigan, and placed my trainers next to a pair of smart loafers. I kept my bags with me.
Debbie's smile widened, "Excellent, let me show you to your room"
I was led up a staircase and down a corridor until we came to a closed door. On one side of the door was another, with a bathroom, and the other side was a door with a picture of a tropical beach on it, under the huge sign saying, 'Welcome to Paradise' on it. From the glaze on Debbie's face, determinedly looking away from it, I guessed it was Leila's room. Debbie opened the door in front of us and lead me into a pretty big bedroom with a single bed, wooden wardrobe and chest of draws. It certainly was not a boy's room, as it had a lace cover over the chest of draws and the curtains had some sort of blue flower all over them, but it was clean and airy.
Debbie was looking at me to see my reaction, "We can clean it for you, if you like, as long as you keen it tidy, or alternatively you can just bring the bed stuff down when it needs cleaning…"
"It's lovely, thank you." I said robotically. I put my stuff on my bed and sat down.
Debbie's smile did not fade, "Good. I've spoken to your school, they are now aware of the situation, you'll catch a slightly later bus, so you can have more of a lie in. Dinner is at seven, and Leila always made sure her homework was done before then. Of course, I know young men like to go out in an evening, but please make sure it is never on a school night…"
"Oh, it's okay. I don't go out." Not by choice, more sort of money problems than anything else.
"Oh, good," Debbie said, "If you ever need something, all you have to do is ask. If you want a laptop for your homework, we were going to get one for Leila as some point, we can give you that. An ipod? Leila was never very materialistic, but she did like her music. Apart from that pocket money is £5 a week. School supplies and books are always paid for by us…"
I could not believe how much they were offering me. All of a sudden, all I had to do was ask, and I was given the money. I could get my new mobile! Then I realised I was new. Probably best not to demand things straight away.
"I do have a job. Is it okay if I keep it? It's only Friday and Sunday nights" I asked.
Debbie's smile faded a bit, but she quickly said "Of course. As long as it does not interfere with your schoolwork. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No," again not by choice.
"Right" she said, "Leila didn't have a boyfriend, said they were a waste of space."
She looked around the room, and said, "I'll let you unpack. I'll call you for dinner." She started towards the door, before saying "thanks" again, then disappeared.
I sat on the bed. I could be happy here, I thought. But then I remembered, why did Leila want me here in the first place?

By Kyle Lovern
CINDERELLA – He has been in his new role as Superintendent of Schools for Mingo County for two months now and Don Spence is focusing on the positive aspects of the school system.
"We are moving along in a positive manner and trying to be upbeat," Spence said from his second floor office at the Mingo County Board of Education office at Cinderella Hollow. "We are working on communications and transparency."
"Later on we will have to be looking at money issues," Spence said. "I think we are in pretty good shape. We are not having the same struggles as other counties are having at this time."
He noted that many counties in southern W.Va. have had to layoff teachers and other school employees because of the decrease in tax revenue.
"When your tax base is decreasing, you have to be very careful with the money," Spence added. "I will say that those before me had the foresight to enable us to move forward. We haven't had to make wholesale changes. It could have been worse this year."
Spence knows the Mingo County school system inside and out. He started out as a teacher back in the early 1980s and was a coach in three sports until 2001. Spence coached football, basketball and baseball at Lenore and Tug Valley. He then moved into an assistant principal position and eventually became a head principal – first at Lenore K-8 and then at Dingess Elementary. He spent 16 years as an administrator, and that experience helped him with his new role.
Spence has 32 years in the Mingo County School System. "You get to know people in the communities," Spence said. He feels that helps him when it comes to communication and understanding the problems facing certain schools in the county.
Spence jumped in feet first after being named interim superintendent right before the start of the 2016-17 school term. He visited every school in the county on the first two days of classes. Since then he has been back to many of the schools to check on progress and just to communicate with administrators and faculty.
"I just think you need to be visible and be out there to talk to people," Spence stressed. "Not just teachers and administrators, but cooks, bus drivers and everybody. Everybody is important."
"If we are all on the same team and have open communication – that just makes things run smoother," Spence added.
Spence said there are always negative comments made about certain situations. Like the recent air conditioning problems at Mingo Central High School. In today's society, social media can make that even more commonplace.
"Societies norms are to accentuate the negative," Spence said. "But it only takes a little energy to say something positive."
He looks at the improved test scores for Mingo County that were recently released and wants that kind of positive news publicized so that people will understand there are some good things going on in the school system.
"There has been a lot of effort in getting things fixed and James Ed (Baisden) and the Maintenance Department have done a great job," Spence said. "Sometimes it takes some time. But they continue to work as hard as they can."
"I've heard all my life that the best thing about Mingo County is its people – and I believe that with all my heart," Spence said.
"I want to see our kids get a quality education," Spence declared. "These students are going to be our future leaders in the next few years. I want to get them prepared. Hopefully they will find a good job and be productive."
"I think we are moving in the right direction," Spence concluded. "Hopefully I can help to continue that process."

T'll death do us part
Short Story by: greenallie2000
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Newly wed's, Ron and Mary were the happiest couple in the world until the night of their honeymoon...
When reaching the hotel in the Caribbean, a nice five star couple's suite with a front beach-side view. The site had the couple gushing with excitement. Mary told Ron that she would be right back she wanted to freshen up from the ten-hour flight. Her hair was a mess and she thought she had a distasteful odor in her mouth. With agreements from both Ron and Mary that they should both freshen up they set off.
When Mary emerged from the bathroom towel drying her hair she found Ron slumped over in the bed rocking slowly. "Ron?" She said attentively "are you okay, honey?" she walked over to the side of him where she could scarcely make out the outline of his jaw and the shadows under his left eye. "Ron, honey" she said more urgently as she bent down to stare up into his face. That's when she smelt it, the fowl odor that seemed to cascade off his body like a fountain. It was a mixture of cow manure and rotting chicken. She looked up into his face. His eyes were blood shot and blood was running from his nose. "Oh-my-goodness!" she squeaked wading up the hotel towel in her hand and offering it to him to stop the bleeding coming from his nose. "What happed love?" she cried as he shoved the towel from her hand and grunted, spurting blood all down the front of his shirt. Shocked she crawled over to the towel he knocked out of her hand and grabbed it.
When she turned back around she found two leather shoes blocking her path. Following the shoes that led to black formal pants, which held a half tucked shirt, she found two bloodstained eyes boring through hers. "R-Ron" she stuttered her heart pounding in her ears. He bent down a grabbed Mary by the hair and lifted her to her feet but did not release her hair. Instead he waded her hair tighter in his fist and craned her head. "I am not Ron!" He barked splattering blood all over Mary's face.
Crying she tried to plead with her new husband that something must have gone wrong when he went to freshen up. But he ignored her and shirked again. I. Am. Not. Ron! He yelled each word with an inhuman growl. His face contorted into a sneer. "But I will take what Ron has left behind." He crooned softly into her ear all madness gone just a blood smeared Ron she new with a spine-chilling grin spread across his face. She screamed as he chomped down on Mary's shoulder ripping the flesh from her neck. She groaned in semi-consciousness as her head fell back. She lay there in his arms staring out the arcadia door as darkness tried to settle around her.
When she caught a glimpse of someone screaming silently in the refection of the door's window. The man's arms were stretched out reaching like they were trying to grab her as tears ran down his cheeks. The familiarity rang somewhere deep in her mind but she didn't know. She knew this man from somewhere but couldn't remember where. Out the corner of her vision she saw a women dressed in the same clothes she had on reaching out for the man in the reflection and grabbing him affectionately. Not knowing why she felt a ting of jealousy her vision darken around her as the man kept biting her neck.
The women looked at Mary mischievously as she stepped away from the crying man, shoving him aside as she approached the glass. "You will be I and I will be you." She said echoing through the glass when the darkness enveloped, the sentence repeated though her mind as she slipped into the darkness to never resurface again.

Hmmm... demons?
Again, make paragraphs and there are some places that would do better with commas.
"The women looked at Mary mischievously as she stepped away from the crying man shoving him aside as she approached the glass." a comma between man-shoving.
"When reaching the hotel in the Caribbean, a nice five star couple's suite with a front beachside view had the couple gushing with excitement." - Suggestion: "When reacing the hotel in the Caribbean, a nice fire start couple's suite with a front beach-side view, the couple couple gushed with excitement." the words within those two commas serve as an extra detail, but it should still be possible to read the complete sentence without it. (if you know the rules).
Great story, I liked it quite a lot. You are VERY talented with words for sure. "I like it" deserved.
Wow, that was deep. It was just...wow. I loved it, but it gave me chills.
I do not know what to say. It was so great. You're an amazing writer!

MONTREAL (AP) Lucian Bute nearly collapsed in the final round and was saved by the bell as he retained his IBF super-middleweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Librado Andrade on Friday night.
Bute (23-0), fighting in his hometown, dominated the first 11 rounds, but was hit hard several times in the 12th and seemed to be both groggy and exhausted. After falling to the canvas, he could barely remain standing in a corner as referee Marlon Wright gave him a standing eight count. He was saved by the bell as the fight ended.
Wright gave Bute some extra time by ordering Andrade (27-2) to a neutral corner for the count.
Andrade absorbed a beating but kept moving in relentlessly at Bute, who spent most of the fight bobbing and then blasting his American opponent with right-left combinations.
The 30-year-old Andrade fights for Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, but has trained in Montreal since January under Howard Grant.
In the co-feature, Ronald Hearns, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, dominated Paul Clavette and stopped the Montreal fighter in the sixth round of their light middleweight bout.
With his father at ringside, the 25-year-old Hearns (21-0), who is tall and lean like his dad but without the devastating punch, backed Clavette (14-2-1) into a corner and knocked him down midway through the sixth. Clavette got up, but was given a second eight count before referee Richard Griffin stopped the bout.

NBA Shirt Jerseys May Be No More After This Season [Photos]
Reviews on the new "shirt" jerseys in the NBA have been… lukewarm at best.
Players like LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki have been very vocal about how it prohibits him on doing his best.
According to Bleacher Report, new commissioner Adam Silver will take a look at the issue and revisit it after the season.
"Ultimately, if the players don't like them, we'll move on to something else. I don't regret doing it for this season. But it's intended to be something fun for the fans and the players. And if it becomes a serious issue, as to whether players should be wearing sleeves, we'll likely move onto other things."
"I take the feedback from all the players very seriously," Silver said, adding, "We're not going to do anything without taking into account how they feel."
The effect on players is a big problem with these jerseys.
It's also not the coolest looking things in the world either, quite honestly looking like professional pj's on the court.
Check out some of the more popular shirt jerseys in the gallery.

Q My two-year fixed-rate mortgage comes to an end in January, so I am beginning to look for a new deal. However, I am also thinking of moving jobs and would like to know what importance mortgage companies place on the length of time an applicant has been with their employer? I have the opportunity to move to a better paid job, which would provide me with more funds to meet my repayments. In the current climate, would having a new employer go against me?
A Yes it probably will go against you, but the credit crunch is not to blame: starting a new job has always affected a potential borrower's ability to get a mortgage. Lenders are a cautious bunch and like to know a borrower will have the wherewithal to make their repayments in the long term. If you are on a probationary period at a new job there is a chance in a lender's eyes you could be without employment after this period. So most will find it hard to lend - at least on normal terms - to people without a confirmed job.
Until you are in this position I would therefore refrain from switching your mortgage. You may have to revert to your lender's standard variable rate (SVR) when your fixed-rate deal comes to an end, but as SVRs are generally falling in line with the base rate this may not be such a bad thing. You may even find the SVR is lower than your current deal.

It's an average workday commute. You're sitting in traffic, yawning at tail lights, when suddenly you see a tiger!
Motorists in Qatar actually witnessed a tiger cub loping along between parked cars on a highway in Doha, the capital city. One driver took an amazing video of the striped cat wandering the street:
The arid Middle Eastern country has no native tiger species.
It turns out this tiger was an escaped pet. The majestic animal had an ugly chain around its neck, trailing behind it on the street.
Some Qatari elites illegally keep tigers and other wild cats as pets, despite government safety warnings. Another, much sadder, video shows the cub falling out of a moving truck minutes before its highway romp:

The tiger was eventually recovered:

There's no denying that this tiger is adorable. The footage of it casually walking between cars seems amusing – until you consider what it means for the species' survival.
Read More: Tiger Numbers Are Increasing In India
Tigers are among the most endangered animals on the planet, with as few as 3,000 individuals left in the wild. A century ago, they numbered over 100,000. Capturing them for the pet trade depletes an already decimated population. Even buying tigers born in captivity contributes to the inhumane, environmentally irresponsible practices of the exotic pet trade. Sadly, as long as tigers fetch a price, people will continue to exploit them.
Read More: Kids In The UAE Prefer Endangered Pets To Stuffed Animals
This problem is not limited to Qatar; tigers are being sold as pets all over the world, sometimes even legally — and the U.S. is no exception. The number of pet tigers in the U.S. alone actually exceeds the population left in the wild. Lawmakers have been working to strengthen and enforce regulations about big cats in captivity. You can help by supporting initiatives like the "Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act," withholding your business from operations that exploit tigers (like unofficial backyard zoos and gimmicky photo ops), and reporting illegal pet owners.
If you love tigers, don't keep them as pets!

WALLABIES Jesse Mogg and Scott Fardy are the latest re-signings as the high-flying Brumbies continue to secure their Super Rugby future by locking in their big guns.
Pacy fullback Mogg and rugged forward Fardy both agreed to new one-year deals to the end of 2015.
The Australian conference leaders had already re-signed the all-Wallaby inside back trio of Nic White, Matt Toomua and Christian Lealiifano in the past week.
Those five join fellow internationals Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, David Pocock and Pat McCabe as confirmed Brumbies players for next season.
Mogg said he was relishing the opportunity to keep improving his game under the coaching of Wallabies great Stephen Larkham.
"I've spent the last three years coming to this point, where I feel like I am consistently adding to the team and improving," said Mogg.
"I think a lot of that comes down to the coaching staff, particularly Steve Larkham, who has had a big impact on my career to this point."
Fardy enjoyed a breakthrough season last year and went on to become a fixture in the Wallabies backrow.
"It took me a long time to be given a genuine opportunity at this level and I feel like I've made consistent improvements since then," Fardy said.
"Over the next year I've got a chance to improve my game further and I believe the best place for me to achieve that growth is in Canberra with the Brumbies.
"I'm 30 this year, so I'd like to think me staying for another year shows that the game isn't up in Australia as soon as you get past 25.
"Plenty of people will tell you it's a given that after then you'll head overseas but I'm hoping to challenge that idea.
"(Forwards coach) Laurie (Fisher) is probably the best fit for me of any coach around the world.
"He is right across all the things that set me apart as a player and I can't imagine having made these gains without his coaching."
The Brumbies arrived in South Africa on Monday night ahead of their two-game tour, which includes matches against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein this weekend then the Bulls in Pretoria.

|This article is about a/an wpisode in Power Rangers S.P.D.
Idol is the ninth episode of Power Rangers SPD.
When Sky's old friend Dru returns to the Academy after being missing in action, he makes an attempt on Cruger's life. Sky must stop Dru before he completes his mission given to him by Broodwing.
Jack is in charge of S.P.D. while Commander Cruger is away at an intergalactic conference. While Jack is running his mouth, the other Rangers try to alert him of an alien ship crash. The Rangers morph into action and call upon the Delta Runners. They assemble the Delta Squad Megazord and use water to put out the fire from the crash. Sky finds the person that was piloting the ship, was his old comrade - Dru, who was missing in action. They both share tangarian coils to represent their friendship. Jack, Sky, and Dru target practice in the practice range. Jack shows his skill by getting a perfect score. But Dru is able to take out all the targets with just one shot. Dru alarms Jack, when he comes looking for Commander Cruger at four in the morning. Jack confronts Dru about his absence and says he needs to be re-evaluated. Dru transforms into Giganus; his true form, once he is in his room. The next morning at breakfast, Jack tries to apoligize to Sky, but Sky tells him to mind his own business. Kat informs the Rangers that an intruder is in the engine room. Jack is convinced that Dru is the monster, but Sky won't hear of it. Commander Cruger returns to the Delta Base, and questions about the security breach. Just then, Doggie is shot by the intruder. Sky confronts Giganus and tells him to surrender. Dru reveals his identity to Sky, and that money and power are all that's important. Meanwhile, Doggie wakes up in sickbay. Broodwing demands that Dru exterminate Commander Cruger. Sky and Dru face off, and the Blue Ranger wins with his Deltamax Striker. Giganus grows, and the Rangers form the Delta Squad Megazord to stop him. Sky puts Dru under arrest. Emperor Gruumm declares that he will not rest until the Rangers are destroyed in the name of the magnificence. Sky is forced to clean the pavement with a toothbrush as punishment for not following protocol. Jack tries to be a friend by helping, until Sky reveals that he is actually using Jack's toothbrush to clean with.

Mommy Makeover and Payment Options
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman's body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.
The costs of a #Mommy Makeover will depend on several factors. Such include the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. However, many payments plans exist for cosmetic procedures. Ask your surgeon's office about finance programs and lenders they may recommend as well as personal loans available through financial institutions.
Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different "specialties" who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to patients who have experienced significant weight loss) helps. Best wishes.
