Off to School AltarsBy C. B. CabeenLast year my almost four year old spent the first event of the school year in hiding. She'd enjoyed preschool in the Spring, but now that school was about to start again, she was worried and didn't want to talk about it. I felt helpless. Her initial transition into preschool had taken months of patient work, but now I had a baby, and what if we had to do the same thing again? I couldn't shepherd my kiddo through the experience this tim … [Read more...]

Advocating for Pagan Children in the Public School SystemBy Aurora LightbringerSeveral weeks ago there was a comment from a Pagan mom named Katie on the Pagan Families Facebook page. Katie's children, who openly identify as and call themselves witches, were experiencing a struggle for acceptance of their tradition at school. Katie posted seeking advice about this situation: "I am looking for any articles on young children going to public schools , I have enrolled my daughters who are ope … [Read more...]

Chapter 19 : I've kissed you and I've got a badge to prove it
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
I noticed it straight away. There were more people staring at us, whispering behind their hands to their friends as we passed. Even first-years pointing and 7th years laughing.
"What have we done?" asked Lily frowning slightly at a group of second years who were staring at Lily and I like hawks.
We didn't need to answer because at that moment a large group of boys walked out of the Great Hall, laughing and joking loudly. On their chests large luminous yellow badges were pinned.
Some said I've kissed Jemini Lander. Yet some said I've kissed Lily Evans.
Some of the boys were even wearing both badges.
What kind of fuckery was this? I dont even know half those boys names, why are they wearing those badges and more importantly, where did they come from?
Lily was frowning as we walked into the Great Hall, noticing the flashes of luminous yellow on hundreds of robes. Even some girls.
Right, moving on.
As we walked to the Gryffindor table heads turned, and conversations hushed as though they were just talking about us seconds ago. Their heads turned as we walked past as if trying to gain information.
"Looks like you guys have succeeded in kissing half the male population of Hogwarts," said James as soon as we sat down.
"And some of the girls too, though I'm not complaining about that," added Sirius with a wink.
I gave him a dirty look before spooning some porridge into my bowl and saying "It's obviously a lie, and a stupid one at that."
"I think most people are just wearing it for a joke, nobody actually believes it," said Lola.
"I don't know, Hogwartians will believe anything you throw at them," said Mimi, thoughtfully, pinching a peice of toast off of Remus' plate.
"Thanks Mimi," said Lily, sarcastically.
"Mimi's right, though. People were whispering and pointing on our way down here, they obviously think there's some truth in it," I said.
"Hey Lander," shrieked a voice from across the hall. We all turned to see the source of the screech.
I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Why don't you change your group name to the slutties instead of the Gigi's" she said. And that ladies and gentleman is Priscilla Parkinson's lame attempt at an insult. I just flipped her a middle finger and went back to my breakfast, deciding she's not even worth wasting my breath on.
"All in all, I think we've endured worse whisperings," said Lily.
"I agree," said Mimi, "Fourth year must have been the worst, this is nothing compared to that."
Minutes passed in silence as I looked around the hall picking out people wearing the badges.
A girl walked passed, an I've kissed Lily Evans badge on her chest.
"Diane Crisper, Lily? I didn't know you and her had a thing," teased James.
"Oh shut up James," said Lily but she was laughing.
"Well anyway, I've got a free now. Anyone else?" I asked.
"I do," said Lily, getting up and flattening her skirt.
"We do," said Remus. "But we're planning something for Defense this afternoon." His eyes sparkling.
"Oh god," I said, rolling my eyes.
"It'll liven up the lesson, I promise," said Sirius, grinning at me.
"A lot of colours," winked James.
"I look forward to it," droned Lily, before following me out of the Great Hall.
As we made our way across the entrance hall and up the marble stairs we faintly heard our names being called. We didn't take any notice thinking it would be a stupid remark about the badges but suddenly there were hands on our shoulders stopping us from walking any further.
It was Katy and Mya.
"Well, look what we have here. Queen Bitch and Bitch Best Friend," said Katy.
I glared at her, "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to ask whether you liked our badges, they were quite ingenious," she said, smirking.
"Ingenious?" scoffed Lily. "Oh please, a house elf could come up with something better than that."
"Really? Because they seem like a pretty big hit in there," said Mya, pointing to the Great Hall.
"Great, people are wearing badges, but could you find three people who actually believe we kissed all those people. You didn't really think this through did you?" I said.
"Tomorrow something else will come up and this will be yesterdays rubbish gossip. Bottom of the pile, just like you two," said Lily, bitchily. I love it when this side to Lily comes out. No one could win an argument with this side of her, it's brilliant.
Not wanting them to have a chance to reply, I said "Why did you do it anyway? It seems pretty stupid to waste your time doing something like this. So what did we do to annoy you?"
"Just the fact that you're alive, really," said Katy.
"Well, I don't think your existence worthwhile but I don't make badges about you," snapped Lily.
Katy just scoffed, unable to come up with a comeback.
See, what did I tell you? Lily's unbeatable.
"Everyone thinks you guys are amazing, royalty, fucking queens of the world. But we don't. We see you for what you really are, cold heartless bitches," said Mya, her voice breaking.
"I'm quite lost now," said Lily, frowning at me. "What did we do?"
"Don't you get it? You made Sirius and James just use us. You're horrible people," said Katy.
What? That's ridiculous.
"We didn't make them do anything! We didn't even know they were going to get girlfriends, that was them," I said.
"It was you! If you hadn't had this fucking jealousy thing then we wouldn't have been brought into it. We wouldn't have had our hearts broken," said Mya.
"Hearts broken?" I asked.
"You didn't even go out with them long enough to fall in love," said Lily.
"It's James Potter and Sirius Black!" exclaimed Katy.
"How could we not?" asked Mya.
"We're really sorry if you are heartbroken, but this isn't our fault. You're blaming the wrong people," I said.
"No," said Mya. "It's you who did this."
I shook my head, "You're actually more stupid than I first thought."
"You've got to take this up with James and Sirius, not us. We had nothing to do with it," said Lily, trying to walk away.
"No! We're going to take it up with you," said Katy, bitchily.
"Well, if you're going to have a vendetta against me and Lily then I guess you're both off the cheerleading squad. I mean, if we're really cold hearted bitches, you won't want to be on my squad anyway, would you?" I said, smirking. My bitchy side making an appearance.
"You can't do that!" said Katy.
"Why not? I'm head cheerleader, I can do what I want. So it would be great if you could return your uniforms by no later than tomorrow."
I took Lily's arm and led her away before they could say anymore.
"That was beyond weird," I said, sitting down at our usual table in the library.
"I know, absolutely ridiculous. I mean, if they had an ounce of common sense they wouldn't be blaming us at all," said Lily, crossly as she got out her Defence Against the Dark Arts text book to get started on the monster of an essay we had been set.
"Right, bitchy girls out of our mind. We need to focus on identifying, stopping and resisting the Imperius Curse," I said, taking charge seeing as Lily was too angry to start.
"Right," said Lily, writing the title and underlining it.
"So, in the introduction should we outline the effects or the resisting part?" I asked.
"Sorry Jem, I've only just realised I've got prefect duties, I was too angry to look at the time until now. Will you be ok?"
"Of course, go ahead. I'll make a start on this and we can finish it together," I said, smiling as my best friend stuffed everything into her bag and stumbled out of the Library.
I had only written the title; Identifying the effects of the Imperius Curse and five ways a witch or wizard is able to avoid or resist one, when I noticed someone standing by the side of the table.
"Hey, Jem. Mind if I sit down?" said an all too familiar and comforting voice.
I looked up and found none other than Matheus McLaggen.
Well, isn't that a surprise.
"Um, yeah sure," I said, hesitantly, moving my book and parchment closer to me so he would have more room.
He sat down and promptly pulled out a NEWT Potions book.
"So, how have you been?" he asked as he flipped through the book.
"Good, I guess. What about you? How's NEWTS keeping you?" I asked, being polite but not really knowing where this was going.
"I'm fine, yeah NEWTS are a killer. You're up for a tough year next year," he laughed.
I smiled, "I'll cope."
"I know you will, but honestly there's a lot of work," he said.
"Well, it can't be much more than sixth year, right? I'm coping ok with this year," I said.
"That's what you would think, but they pile it on you like it's nothing."
We fell into an uncomfortable silence until Matheus piped up again.
"So, I've been thinking more about this friends thing..."
Ah, there it is. I knew it would crop up.
"Yeah, me too," I lied.
"Really?" he said, "Well, what do you think? Could we be friends again?"
"Yeah, why not?" I said, smiling. I don't see any reason for us not to be friends. I do miss our jokes and his company so being friends is fine with me. Especially now I'm totally over him.
"Great," he said, enthusiastically.
"Great," I repeated, smiling back.
"Here, my mum sent me these easter eggs a few weeks early," he said, pulling some chocolate eggs wrapped in colourful foil out of his bag.
"Oooh, easter eggs," I said, my eyes lighting up.
He chuckled, "Always the same."
I rolled my eyes.
"Here," he said, passing me a chunk of chocolate he had broken off the egg.
"Thanks," I said, taking a bite. "Oh my god, these are honeydukes finest."
"Trust you to indentify the chocolate," he said.
"What is this?" screeched a voice behind me. "Chocolate in the Library? How dare you?"
Madam Pince. Oh mother of Merlin, we will die today.
"Run," I practically shouted at Matheus, grabbing my stuff and my bag before bolting out of the library, Matheus and Madam Pince on my tail.
Matheus and I ran all the way to the common room before stopping in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, laughing so much we couldn't talk.
"I can't believe that crazy old librarian," he said as soon as he had stopped laughing.
I shook my head, still laughing before looking at the fat lady who was frowning down at us.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Chocolate Frog," I said.
"That's not funny," she said but she swung the portrait open all the same and we clambered in.
"Want to finish off our homework here?" asked Matheus, walking over the coffee table and sofas by the fire.
"Yeah I guess, now I can't go to library for about a week," I said.
He laughed, "Maybe more, than librarian has the memory of Merlin. Honestly,"
I smoothed out my parchment and began writing the introduction while consulting my book.
A few minutes passed of just scratching quills and the crinkles of a page being turned.
"I'm bored of Potions, what are you doing?" he asked, leaning over to read the title of my essay.
"Imperius Curse," I said, "It's quite interesting, about the effects and stuff. Nice to know in this day and age, right?"
"Yeah, it is. I got an O on that paper last year, came up in the exam too," he said.
"Well, help me then," I said, punching him in the arm.
"Alright alright," he said, reaching for the book on the other side of me causing him to lean across me.
"Oi!" there was a shout behind us.
Sirius and James, with their wands raised. Oh boy, what are they doing now? Me and Matheus have just become friends and they're going to ruin it. I couldn't help but look at Sirius and feel immensely guilty even though I haven't done anything wrong.
"What are you doing here?" demanded James, coldly.
"I'm a Gryffindor, and this if I'm not mistaken is the common room," said Matheus standing up, facing them.
"What are you doing with her?" rephrased James.
"Helping her with her essay, got a problem?" he asked.
"Yeah we do," growled Sirius, pointing his wand at Matheus.
"Put the wand down mate, nothing here to duel over," he said.
Sirius narrowed his eyes, "Leave."
"Excuse me?" asked Matheus.
"I said, leave. Before I make you," roared Sirius.
"Fine," said Matheus, holding his hands up in mock surrender. Walking towards and out of the Portrait hole.
"What was that?" I demanded as soon as he left.
"We could ask you the same question!" said James, lowering his wand.
"We were studying," I said.
"We were saving you from him," said Sirius.
"From what? He was helping me with my essay," I said.
"A likely story," sneered Sirius.
I narrowed my eyes, "We're friends."
"You don't need to be friends with scumbags like him!" said Sirius.
I only half noticed James subtly making his way towards the boys dorms.
"It looked like more than friends to me," said Sirius.
"Oh please," I said, "he was reaching for a book!"
"So you don't like him?"
"I DONT LIKE HIM!" I yelled.
"Well you don't act like it," he said, his jaw set looking at me with a fiery expression.
"He's my friend and if yo-"
"Is that how you act with your friends?" he asked, coldly "That certainly looked like more to me."
"How many times, Sirius, I don't like him and never will again. Just believe that," I said.
"I don't know what to believe anymore."
I just stood there, unable to think of anything else to say before slowly making my over to the girls dorms.
He didn't even try and stop me.
how are you all? Hope you're all enjoying the story (and the breif return of Matheus) and if you are then please please please review, they make me really happy and also spur me to write more!
Lots of love, hiral x

Dean Saunders has told his quartet of soon-to-be out of contract players that they might not be able to waltz into new clubs.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, David Edwards, Stephen Hunt and Christophe Berra could all leave on Bosmans at the end of the season, although Wolves hold an option year on Edwards' contract.
Saunders had spoken after the January window closed of wanting to get Ebanks-Blake tied to fresh terms.
Little has yet materialised with contracts handled by Chief Executive Jez Moxey.
"I have left it to Jez to deal with, nothing has changed," Saunders said ahead of today's game at Derby.
"I have said to all of them (out of contract players) if we don't win games there are consequences for everyone.
"And I have seen it before. It is no use thinking to yourself 'I will get another club somewhere else'.
"There are really good players scrambling around trying to get a club and if we win games it is the other way – Jez is calling you in offering you a new contract.
"I've said it is only a matter of rolling your sleeves up and coming out here on the training ground and working hard so that you are fit enough to do what I want you to do, which is win games late on. That is one thing I am pleased about from last Saturday, that we had the energy to go on and finish a game like we did and they'll get better and better the more they put in out there."
Saunders believes the winning mentality of Kaspars Gorkss needs to rub off on those around him in his new surroundings.
"Gorkss has come here with a clear mind," he added.
"He has been part of a winning outfit for two years.
"He's had success after success and he is coming here expecting to win in training and to win on Saturday.
"He's got no mental baggage with him dragging him down and he is a fresh mind.
"And sometimes the reason we think we are not getting results is because, psychologically, we have got used to losing. So psychologically he is right. There's me and him.
"I've been used to winning, too, so I've got total confidence we are going to win on Saturday. Kaspars had a few options. I think he was about to sign for Blackburn until I spoke to him and told him what our plans are and what ideas I have got for the club.
"It shows he has got confidence in us anyway.
"He's got confidence in what we've got on the playing staff and the way we are going about it. I'm sure he'll make a big difference."

"This card was a one of a kind invite. We used it for our son's first birthday party. Our family loves it and many will keep it as a keepsake, which is what we intended. Great quality paper and very cute and unique!"
"I absolutely loved the designed but expected better quality pictures. I can't tell if it is an error on my end or a flaw in the printing of the invitations."
"I was so surprised at how fast these invites arrived especially considering I live in Australia :) thank you so much for these beautiful invitations they are everything I wanted and more. Will definitely be back in the future."
"I love that this card has four pictures to show my one-year-old's growth over the year. Beautifully made, and great paper quality. I am extremely pleased! Can't wait to send them out!"
"I ordered the pink version of this card for my daughter's first birthday almost 4 years ago, and loved it so much that I ordered this version of the card for my son's first birthday. Awesome paper, beautiful printing, sharp quality, and fast turnaround. A+."

University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
Reno? Like the show Reno 911? Weird! But seriously, this place rests in the cradle of Tahoe with some fifteen resorts just a short drive from "The Biggest Little City In The World." UNR has top notch Journalism, Engineering, Business and Nursing programs aside from hosting one of the last and most respected School of Mines (i.e. geology, mining) in the country. The Reno-Tahoe basin has a burgeoning outdoor community, but it can be a mini-Vegas if you want it to be-gambling, strippers, washed up music acts, weird tourists…all that junk. But that's just a small sliver of the city. The place has a nice, small town charm and the casino scene is easily avoidable. And with a buffet of resorts just minutes from downtown, you have your choice of some of the country's best parks. Snowpark Technologies (SPT) got their start here at Northstar and you can even trace some of the very first halfpipes to the Donner Ranch area. Hell, West Coast snowboarding in many ways was conceived here in Tahoe.
Nearest resort(s): Mt. Rose (26 miles), Northstar-at-Tahoe (36 miles), Diamond Peak (36 miles), Alpine Meadows (45 miles), Squaw Valley (44 miles), Boreal (42 miles), Sugar Bowl (43 miles), Donner Ski Ranch (43 miles), Kingvale (47 miles), Heavenly (62 miles), Sierra-at-Tahoe (78 miles), Kirkwood (81 miles).

How To Get Rid Of Bad Links – Top Facts
What can the web masters possibly do now? The sites being affected by the penguin update has caused whole lot of problems. Primary reason is the low quality backlinks that has led to the havoc. Take a better look all throughout your site now, check the link profile, and try to weed out all the unnatural type of backlinks that you witness there. Remove bad backlinks without any consideration further.
If your site is not affected by penguin, it is really good for you. Still, it is recommended that you do perform a complete scan for backlinks right away, as you could be a victim too tomorrow otherwise. Performing the link audit is to remove bad backlinks but is it that easier to get it done? Certainly not, but yet, it has to be done. If you approach the issue with a proper plan then it could be sorted out a bit easier too.
First step in removing unnatural links
How to spot?
You could check it all from your backlink profile especially when there is an overlap in the characteristics, and then you should probably delete backlinks of that kind immediately.
All right now we have single out the complete list of back links, now what is the next step?
Most of the webmasters as well as see professionals are quite confused on what is to be done on those suspicious links that are leading to their site.
After distilling so many hundreds of case studies due this regard the final conclusion though is to use some of the techniques.
Likewise we have seen various methods on how to get rid of bad links, now let us go to the basics again. If you are serious about getting back the site to the normal condition it was before the penguin attack, it is important that you do focus keenly upon the unnatural links penalty recovery tasks, in the first place.
Secondly improve the content of the site without any plagiarism at all. It is why removing bad links Google is alone not sufficient most of the times. Still it could be tough to drive in the amount of traffic that you were getting once. Still it could be tougher to gain any higher page rankings in the search engine. It is why you should start to focus upon other essential aspects like the loading speed of the site and the content quality.
Delete Links From Google Index – Salient Facts
White hat seo techniques that can gain you the higher SERPs are the ideal method of approach towards permanent success. If you are choosing any shortcuts in any way then there is going to be a menace all the time. Yes, especially after the penguin update from Google you should be bearing the consequences like to fix Google penalty later on. It could be worse by then, for you to worry about the issue altogether. Prevention is better than cure. If you are not warned for your bad backlinks yet from the Google panda or the penguin recently, then you are quite lucky though. It does not mean that your site is completely perfect though. Partner up with a seo service or reputed seo firm for link removal service to get the bad ones eliminated.
Yes, it is an operation to trim the bush. Just like the plants and trees, it is good for the site too. Removal links Google of the unwanted kind will improve the rankings of the site altogether. Traffic could be better in that way rather than what you are getting otherwise. It leads to pure quality traffic alone. People who are interested in the subject area will alone visit your site. The whole of the operation is done for a good cause after great deal of thought from the experts in the trade.
Removal links Google of the bad kind with effective seos only. The incumbent should be capable of addressing to the issue in the first place. Sheer talent and adequate expertise is the key. Google penalty removal services will not cost you dearer if the site is not too complicated or there is too many black hat techniques involved in the building. If it is so then you got to rebuild the whole of the site completely and optimise it from the scratch as well.it takes a getting to do so.
To Remove Unnatural Links to Your Site will be the first step in that. Yet when you say that there are black hat techniques involved in the fray already, you might well have to delete links from Google completely. To do that and rebuild links again of the healthy kind will altogether take a good amount of time. When you try to delete links from Google index and then connect with the reputed sites that are having higher SERPs, and respected in the society for their genuineness, then the overall attempts towards success could take months together.
The costs to remove links from Google as well as the rebuilding of the whole site and then effective optimization will all put together come out as a huge bill to be paid to the link removal service. Ideally there is no other choice either. You cannot neglect Google as it is the prime most search engine to drive in traffic to your site. You could seek the help of other giants in service too. To fix Google penalty is still the ideal approach at any given day. You cannot live without meriting their consideration at any given point of time and it is quite obvious in the present day scenario. Google penalty removal could happen if and only if you Remove Unnatural Links to Your Site and get it rebuilt to perfection completely.

Jaspers Conclude Non-Conference Play Against Sacred Heart
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – With one week remaining in the regular season, the Manhattan College softball team controls its own destiny with regard to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tournament. Before the Jaspers (20-24) can start thinking about the weekend, though, they must first wrap up the non-conference portion of the schedule on Tuesday, when Sacred Heart (12-29) visits Gaelic Park for a 3 p.m. twinbill.
Manhattan earned a key doubleheader sweep at MAAC rival Saint Peter's on Sunday and has won three of its last four games. In addition to leading the pitching staff with 10 wins and a 3.43 ERA, senior Kate Bowen (Newtown, Conn.) paces the Manhattan offense in batting average (.327), hits (52) and doubles (13). Sophomore Elena Bowman (San Mateo, Calif.) is tied for the MAAC lead with 11 home runs, and she also leads the Jaspers with 38 RBIs to go along with a .315 average. Freshman Jenn Vazquez (Fairfield, Conn.) is hitting .308 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs, while junior Amanda Paxson (Cedar Grove, N.J.) boasts a .300 batting average. In the circle, junior Amy Bright (Manlius, N.Y.) has a team-best 90 strikeouts.
Sacred Heart is looking to snap a 12-game losing streak. The Pioneers' last victory was a 5-3 triumph over Yale on April 16. Junior Justine Sibthorp leads Sacred Heart with a .292 batting average and 18 runs scored, while senior Annie Dreher boasts team-highs in hits (35), home runs (5), doubles (7) and RBIs (16). Sophomore Adrianna Mallory paces the pitching staff with six wins, and junior Kacie Wentworth has a 2.19 ERA. Meanwhile, freshman Jamie Carlson has struck out 109 opposing hitters in 122.2 innings of work.The Jaspers and Pioneers split a doubleheader in Connecticut last season. Sacred Heart notched a 2-1 victory in the first game before Manhattan rallied to post a 6-4 win in game two.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers do honorable work against the culture of death, so it is not surprising that the apostles of death hate them and want to destroy them. For a long time, it's been hard for the Death Eaters to get traction against them. But now, as the prolife movement foolishly embraces Lying for Jesus, we hand the enemies of life a useful tool for slandering CPCs. Turns out Lying for Jesus, like all Faustian Bargains, gives you *nothing* in return for your sin of lying. A reader writes:
The following video outlines the plan to make life difficult for pro-life pregnancy centers.
There are a few things I'd like to bring up.
* Although they don't specifically mention ultrasound machines in the video, it seems they wish to target them by saying CPCs are pretending to be medical facilities (my guess). I don't know the specifics, but the NYC law is preventing CPCs from giving away free ultrasounds.
* They are binding the speech of the CPCs as commercial entities, when they're all volunteer non-profit organizations. I'm not a lawyer, but that seems fishy to me.
* The CPCs are targets of a Lila Rose type stings.
* They are attacking the CPCs for lying and harassment. I don't believe the first, but I do know that CPCs routinely follow up on clients who visit. If someone asked for the follow ups to stop, then it seems to me that this would be honored.
The entire ridiculous notion that, without lying sting operations, there is absolutely no hope for the prolife movement was and remains an insult to the honorable work that has been done for decades by CPCs. Aiming to take moral shortcuts, the main result has been that after a nine day wonder of excitement for people who just wanted to zing Murder Inc. we've now given credibility to the creeps who want to unjustly destroy the CPCs by libeling them as havens for liars.

Cheap light bulbs and chocolates won out over hamsters and terrapins today as Poundland shares made a sparkling debut on the stock market but those in Pets at Home fell sharply.
Shares in Poundland were priced at a top-of-the-range 300p, or three times the price of everything on offer in its 500-plus high street shops. They surged in first dealings, racing up 62p to 362p.
That values the business at £880 million.
By contrast, Pets at Home's shares — which were priced at 245p in the offer to institutions, staff and retail investors — fell by 12p to 233p, valuing the 369-strong store chain at £1.16 billion.
Poundland raised no new money through its share offer with private equity firm Warburg Pincus collecting the bulk of the £375 million raised through the offer. This could rise to £431 million if financial adviser JP Morgan Cazenove exercises its over-allotment allocation of a further 15% of the equity.
Following the float Warburg Pincus will own just over 30 per cent of the shares and management 10.2 per cent.
Chief executive Jim McCarthy said: "We look forward to continuing to deliver, as a listed company, Poundland's mission to provide our customers with amazing value every day." Pets at Home raised £280 million of new cash through its offer which it will use to pay down debts. Its major shareholder, private equity giant KKR, and other existing shareholders collected £210 million from the sale.
Chief executive Nick Wood, owner of two dogs and Snuggles the hamster, said: "Pets at Home has enjoyed strong growth for over a decade and we are now ready to move on to the next stage."
Today's floats are part of a raft of retailers coming to market with AO World debuting last month and Boohoo.com, B&M and House of Fraser in the pipeline. They take the total raised on the London stock market so far this year to £1.7 billion.Reuse content

The Queen today made the short journey from Buckingham Palace to Kensington Palace to meet her new great-grandson for the first time. The 30-minute visit came as William and Kate were choosing a name for the Prince of Cambridge as they spent their first day at home as a family.
Close sources say the Queen is unlikely to make suggestions for a name for the third in line to the throne. But as many prime ministers and royal advisers have discovered, the slightest raised eyebrow from Her Majesty will indicate the
couple should think again. It was expected the name would be revealed soon after the meeting. The Queen, who arrived in a dark green Bentley, has said she is "thrilled" by the arrival.
On Friday the Queen goes to Balmoral for her traditional summer break. Prince Philip will not see his great grandson until later as he is recuperating at Sandringham, the Queen's Norfolk estate, from exploratory surgery.
The Queen is expected to join the Duke of Edinburgh before they both travel to Scotland.
The next big royal family gathering in London will be for the christening of the baby after the Queen returns to Buckingham Palace. The christening, to be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, will take place in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace, as it was for Prince William and Prince Charles.
William and Kate, both 31, are expected to travel to Kate's parent's Berkshire home in Bucklebury, where they were staying before the birth, at the weekend.
Thames Valley Police and Scotland Yard have made contingency plans to ensure the security of the second and third in line to the throne.
William is keen to bond with his son during his two weeks paternity leave from his job as a RAF Search and Rescue Pilot based at RAF Valley in Anglesey.
Kate is expected to stay with her parents, Michael and Carole, when William returns to work.
But the couple are understood to have been invited by the Queen to stay with the rest of the royal family at Balmoral over the summer.
It will be the first chance for Philip to meet his great grandson.
A source told the Standard: "The first priority is for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to bond with their baby.
"The grandparents have all met the baby and obviously Prince William is mindful that Her Majesty is also very excited to meet the new arrival.
"Everything will be arranged to facilitate that at the earliest opportunity at a venue that is convenient and private," the source said.
The amount that has been wagered on the royal name for "Baby Cambridge" is around £1 million.
There is no set in stone rules for naming a future monarch and direct heir to the throne but more traditional names are expected for those in direct line of succession. As the Evening Standard revealed yesterday the couple wanted to see their son's "little face" before making a decision.
George is the bookmakers' favourite at 7/4, ahead of James (4/1), Alexander (8/1), Henry (12/1) and Louis (12/1).

Recent first round picks Daniel Graham and Benjamin Watson are locks to make the final roster, and because the Patriots are a two-tight end heavy offense, both Christian Fauria and Jed Weaver could be on as well. If the Patriots only keep three tight ends, either Weaver or Fauria will be out.
"Those are numbers things and you can't worry about that stuff," Weaver said. "That's upper management and Bill (Belichick's) decision. If you worry about that, it will affect your play and I've really been concentrating on having a good time and trying to enjoy myself."
Both Weaver and Fauria have had made a case to stay with decent training camps. While both lack the athleticism and speed that Graham and Watson provide, both feel they are well-rounded tight ends that can contribute to the club.
"I think my strengths are being a tough, physical player and being able to find open spots in zones and get open against man coverage," Weaver said. "You try to show that when you're on the field. You may not get a pass thrown to you, but they see on film if you were open and won your route."
"My actions should speak for themselves," Fauria rationed. You get more out of showing someone what you can do then telling them. There are a lot of tight ends so your opportunities are rare. You have to make the most of them when they come. I just go out and do my job and try not to screw up. I want to be happy about my performance.
"I'd like to think there is room for all of us," Fauria continued. "I have a lot of respect for Jed. He's hard working, always gives his all, he's prepared and he doesn't complain. I'd want him if I was looking for a guy."
Watson's injury history might prompt New England to keep an extra guy at the position as well. He missed all of last season with a knee injury and the first preseason game this year with an undisclosed ailment.
"I think we have a lot of talent at the position," Weaver said. "The guys we have can do different things and obviously will create problems for defenses. We're all good friends and everybody is pulling for each other. You can't worry about things you don't control. When you get a rep, you do what you can and hope you get more."

[UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] True to its principles, Barcelona went to Germany with the idea to attack Schalke 04, and, sure enough, scored an early goal that held up for a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal series on Tuesday.
Barcelona scored in the 12th minute when Thierry Henry snatched the rebound of his own shot pass and fed Bojan Krkic, who beat Manuel Neuer.
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard resisted the temptation to drop Henry after a poor performance against Real Betis in a 3-2 loss on Saturday that dropped Barcelona into third place, seven points behind Real Madrid in La Liga race.
Henry started in a three-man attack along with Samuel Eto'o and Krkic, will not turn 18 until the end of August.
His goal made him the second youngest player to score in the Champions League after Ghanaian Peter Ofori-Quaye, who scored at the age of 17 for Olympiakos in 1997.
"I'm delighted for Bojan because he just does everything right on the field," Rijkaard said. "Every decision he takes is the right one. You look at his age and then you see him performing like a great player for his team. He deserves special congratulation. He shouldn't lose his humility and should keep working, but really, it was a pleasure to watch him."
April 1 in Gelsenkirchen
Schalke 04 0 Barcelona 1. Goal: Krkic 12
Schalke 04 -- Neuer, Rafinha, Bordon, Krstajic, Westermann, Asamoah (Larsen 73), Kobiashvili, Ernst, Pander, Kuranyi (Sanchez 60), Altintop (Lovenkrands 89).

The US agriculture bill 2007/2008 will have a dramatic impact on the biofuels and food landscape the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy has a very readable document looking at the history of this iconic piece of American Legislation.
I am sure it was behind this quote from Catch 22 (thanks to Webcurrent)
"His specialty was alfalfa and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. … He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap,' he counseled one and all, and everyone said, 'Amen.' "
Bringing this back to biofuels. There are a couple of takeaways from IATP
Stunning growth in the ethanol market poses both threats and opportunities. The Farm Bill will help determine who will be the winners and losers in the fast growing bioenergy
markets. Ethanol has had a tremendous impact on corn prices and availability and subsequently has had a ripple effect on other crops and the livestock industry. Ethanol is helping to revive what had been a struggling rural economy in the Midwest and shifted the focus of the Farm Bill from exports to domestic uses of commodities.
There is no discussion about whether it is better to use relatively inefficent grain to produce ethanol or to import sugar or ethanol from the tropics where it would be cheaper to produce.
The IATP would like to see Reform commodity programs to establish a fair market price floor so that food companies, not taxpayers, pay their fair share to farmers.
Develop a renewable energy title that prioritizes rural development, supports local ownership and promotes sustainably produced feedstocks
It would be hard to disagree with either of these points. Whether we get them is another thing. What is sure is that about the only people not affected, even in directly by the Farm bill are likely to be Eskimo, but they'd be more interested in fuel from whale blubber.

Our new D.C. digs
January 18th, 2008 | Published in Google Public Policy
Last night we welcomed a veritable who's who of Washington -- including Members of Congress, think tankers, tech policy geeks, and journalists -- to take the wraps off Google's new permanent office here in Washington.
And what a grand opening it was. Washingtonian magazine called it "the swankiest 'office' party Washington has seen in years." A guest told Politico it was "the best reception I've ever been to in D.C." And FishbowlDC wrote, "Washington is abuzz this morning about last night's party in Google's new DC HQ."
Beyond last night's amazing fete, we're even more excited that our new office here will allow us to tell Google's story more effectively to policymakers. The office includes a large event space for policy talks and seminars, as well as signature Google touches like a massage chair, lava lamps, and a game room (with, naturally, Republican and Democratic foosball teams). This being D.C., our conference rooms are named after "famous" Washington rooms, like the Situation Room, Cabinet Room, and of course, The Secret Undisclosed Location. And we're proud that our new office is in one of the newest "green," LEED-certified buildings in Washington.
To see more of our new office, check out the photos at CNET and Tech Daily Dose. And for you D.C. denizens, maybe we'll see you over here for lunch one of these days.

Unfortunately for Glenville the kicking tee was still in the locker room when the game started.
Anthony Gardner was back in action from his dislocated shoulder.

Arvell Nelson guided the Tarblooder offense for most of the game.
Curtis Smith recoverd a fumble in the end zone to give Glenville a 7-0 lead.
Gardner led the Eagles right back down the field again.
Rose helped move the chains on the second drive.
The Glenville defense led by Freddie Lenix thwarted that drive as well and then Ray Smalls blocked a second field goal attempt by St. Edward.

Sophomore QB Gino Sturdivant, flanked by Conner to his right and Lenix, was inserted into the game in the fourth quarter and marched the Tarblooders right down the field.
Lenix even had his number called on the drive.
Daven Jones had a sensational grab to keep that initial drive alive on one third down play.
Eventually Sturdivant hit pay dirt from 8 yards out to widen the margin to 19-7 with over four minutes remaining in the game.
Lenix picked off a Gardner pass and raced 38 yards with it for a touchdown on this play to make the score 26-7.
Whitner was loving every minute of it on the Glenville sideline.
Two future Buckeyes exchange respectful words after the game.
Coach Ginn couldn't have been any happier for his team after the game. Another late Glenville interception returned for a score made the final margin 32-7.

Obama ready to claim the title
BARACK OBAMA looks set to claim the Democratic nomination as early as today or tomorrow, setting him on the path to become America's first black president.
Despite another emphatic win for rival Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico on Sunday, it seems that her big string of victories in states with strong working-class and Hispanic populations has come too late.
Barring a scandal in the next 24 hours, Senator Obama is likely to pass the new "magic number" of delegates required for a majority - 2118 - as early as tonight, when the final primaries are held in South Dakota and Montana.
Even after his defeat in Puerto Rico - Senator Clinton won with 68 per cent of the vote to 32 per cent - Senator Obama is now only about 45 delegates away from having a majority.
He plans to spend tonight in the twin cities of Minneapolis-St Paul, and symbolically has chosen to hold a rally at the Xcel Centre, the venue Republicans have booked for their national convention in September.
On Sunday he rang Senator Clinton to congratulate her on the win in Puerto Rico, a US territory, before staging a rally in South Dakota where he said the party would be united going into the general election in November.
Senator Clinton would be "a great asset when we go into November to make sure that we defeat the Republicans, that I can promise you," he said.
Rumours have continued to swirl that Senator Obama has offered her the high-profile job of health secretary or a role in guiding through health reforms.
But there are still signs she may refuse to accept defeat, with more rumblings from her campaign about a challenge to the rules committee ruling last weekend on Florida and Michigan at the party's credentials committee. The states' delegations, which were punished for holding early primaries, have been reinstated, but with half their voting strength.
An appeal by the Clinton camp could extend the fight all the way to the Democratic convention in August, the party's nightmare scenario. Every time the nomination process has dragged out to the convention, the party has lost.
Her chief strategist, Howard Wolfson, repeated on Sunday a warning by her chief delegate counter, Harold Ickes, that she reserved the right to take the Michigan and Florida decisions to the credentials committee.
Senator Clinton did not refer to the appeal question directly in her victory speech. She said she was "winning the popular vote".
Meanwhile, former president Bill Clinton's office moved swiftly to discredit a profile story in Vanity Fair. His office distributed a memo to reporters calling Tom Purdum's 9600-word article "journalism of personal destruction at its worst". Purdum, a former White House correspondent for The New York Times, cites anonymous Clinton aides, past and present, who paint a portrait of an undisciplined, sometimes reckless man trapped in a vacuum of self indulgence.

U.S. Marrines
As we gather together with our Brothers today in celebration, let us never forget our Brothers who gave it all and now stand guard in Heaven waiting for us to join them. It is because of those Brothers that we can celebrate 237 years of kicking ass and defending this great Nation! Their resolve, their honor, courage and commitment, their devotion to duty and their selfless sacrifice are what allow us to be here to celebrate year after year. So when you're out there tonight, in between blacking out, pissing on the side of a building, purging for another round, you know, honoring those "other" fine Marine Corps traditions; please stop, grab your Brothers around you, take a moment of silence for our Fallen, then look at each other and be thankful for being blessed to be a part of a fraternal order like no other. Take pride in knowing that you are surrounded by men who would lay down their lives for you without hesitation.
Happy birthday, Marines! It is an honor and privilege to be counted amongst you!
Fall out and carry out the plan of the day!
Semper Fi!

What about us guys in Viet Nam 61-65--body armor? bullets were the same then as they are now. GI T shirt didn't stop much.
Why have all that fancy stuff, I rather carry more AMMO.

The price you pay for electing an anti everything president...
What about us guys in Viet Nam 61-65--body armor? bullets were the same then as they are now. GI T shirt didn't stop much.
Why have all that fancy stuff, I rather carry more AMMO.
As far as the weapon issue I am curious when things changed. Back in the day a buddy of mine was a corpsman assigned to India battery I forget which MAU but he did a couple of Med cruises with them and was living off post at LeJeune. Back then corpsmen were considered "non combatants" and were not issued rifles. All they were authorized was sidearms as they were considered "defensive weapons".
As far as the medical load out I would not be surprised if this was just for travel. Weight is fuel and fuel is dollars. If there are tons of stuff in theater already why pay more to fly a bunch of stuff in with him? I could see them issuing enough to deal with might be anticipated during travel and issue the rest of the stuff when he arrives.

No money? Then how did the army get all those cute little $8 mil-a-piece UAVs I just got through working with? Must have returned a LOT of mags to pay for that.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
When I left the army 6 years ago the combat support folks and service folks did not have all of the goodies that combat arms did until after we invaded Afghanistan and went into Iraq. And that was under two Bushes. So let's put it this way. Bush Jr. took us into two wars without the foresight to give the troops what they needed. Obama takes over a mess and you are saying he is the problem based of the OP which is second hand info. Got it. I was last at Bragg and MacDill 4 months ago (SOCOM and JSOC). Did not see folks complaining about not having stuff except the normal griping. Called a buddy of mine today at Bragg. He does not know about these huge shortages. Not saying there are none. But don't go blaming Obama for every little trouble in this country. I am not voting for him but he did not start this country on a downward spiral.
Oh, did I mention which President it was that under his watch he spent all the money so every soldier could feel special wearing a black beret? Then after realizing it was a stupid idea the Army then got rid of them for daily wear. Plus the fact they ticked off 99 percent of every Ranger and they had to switch to tan.
Not Obama......
Whew! Ok, my 2 post rant is over
How about one of the presidential candidates donate some of the millions they spend slinging mud at each other? Give a couple million to ensure that our boys have some decent gear, and I'd give you my vote.
Talk to The Commander and Chief it is he show he runs it .
The reality is, defense spending in the last 20 years has been all about buying the expensive sexy toys. That billion dollar stealth bomber is worthless when the Marines on the ground have to house to house.
I believe the military of the future will be small, well equipped, highly trained ground units....not long range stealth bombers.

So yes, we need both. And the C in C does not and should not micromanage down to the squad level. No president IMO has ever done well as far as reeling in the big spending appropriations which is a big problem.
One thing folks foget about. A lot of retirement pays and other pays come out of the DOD budget. So the more troops we have and retire and the longer they live the more money is needed to just sustain non combat expenditures.
As far as a major war with a real power (China). We would need the Airforce and Navy and the sexy toys as much as the ground troops.
Besides...where else do you want to start trouble? How many places do we need to keep sending ground troops? What for...
I never served in the military (and for those who did/do... my undying respect and gratitude for whatever you did and wherever you did it) ...
I do like history.
Red Blooded Americans (before they were even US citizens, 'cause there was no U.S.) beat the pulp out of the most well equipped army in the world at the time... (okay... okay... we had a little hep from the FR...FR...oh, heck with it...the French).
We can always do that (and we don't need them Fr... Fre... well, you know who I mean).
But, why do we waste blood and treasure on any war that is not about our sovereignty?
simplifying greatly...
We had our Vietnam...
Russia had it Afghanistan
And we went into Afghanistan to prove what, that we could win a war the Russkies couldn't? Huh?
Oh sure, the twin towers and all that (for an interesting look at that and the aftermath see the book in my sig line)... oh yeah, and nation building...
The S is HTF here at home... and we're peeing money and blood in a never ending litter box of sand over there... let 'em build their own nations...
We took out the offenders that we put prices on... let the people over there do what they want with their country.
I know, and have friends who have served over there that talk about all the good they are doing and have done...
But in this country we got one in four kids who experience hunger... (no... REAL hunger)... And we got too many unemployed... and we got no infrastructure left... and ... and ... and....
and all I see is all that sand ... soakin' up our blood... our money... our men and women...
I want the finest, best equipped military in the WORLD... But I don't want it wasted playing Keystone Cops.
And, if you're gonna send our kids, men, and women over there you better dang well make double dang certain they have the effing best of everything they need to do their individual jobs (no "toys" for the cooks, and the clerks, etc.). An get 'em home alive and let them over there deal with theirownselves...
Sorry... I'm just tired of trying to fix everybody else when this country is a broke(n) as it is.
It could be worse!
I suppose

So the update was supposed to happen Sunday and didn't. And then Monday at 5pm and didn't. But at some point yesterday evening the Boston Bruins finally released news on Tuukka Rask's status.
BostonBruins.com — Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli issued the following the update regarding goaltender Tuukka Rask who was injured during the Bruins/Islanders game on Saturday, March 3:
"Tuukka Rask sustained a lower abdomen strain/groin strain and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks."
It happened while making what looked to be a fairly routine save against the Islanders. We're blaming this on fucking DiPietro — that scrub's injury bug is contagious.
To make up for the lack of goaltending depth in the system, the Bruins are signing Marty Turco — yep, fan betting Marty fucking Turco.
Turco and Tuukka sound the same right? Could always respell it to Tuurcco. A somewhat surprise signing but it's better than the alternatives.
Obviously it sucks to lose Rask but it's not the end of the world. No surgery is required and he could be back for the playoffs. Turco won't be available to play for the Bruins in the post-season should Rask have a setback.
Welcome to the bWo Turc Turcoton.

When I was pregnant with my first son in 2008 I had my heart set on breastfeeding him. I went to the breastfeeding course at our local hospital and didn't even think about bottle feeding.
When my son was born it felt so natural to put him to my breast and he fed almost immediately after birth. He didn't seem 'full' after it, but I was assured that it takes a while to get established and it would happen in time. I loved the feeling of feeding him and felt so close to him.
However, when he was just 12 hours old it became apparent that he wasn't very well. He had been overdue, it had been a very long labour and he had experienced some distress. On further investigation they found out he had some problems with his lungs, one lung was collapsed and the other had a pneumonia-type infection on it. This broke my heart, it was difficult seeing him struggle to breathe properly and he was immediately admitted into the special care baby unit.
Whilst he was in the unit I wasn't allowed to feed him. It was explained to me that he was too weak to breastfeed; I wasn't even allowed to pick him up for any longer than 30 minutes twice a day, for nearly a whole week.
In this time he was fed by a tube but this had to be at regular intervals. I decided to express my breast milk but I had to try and time it with his feeds and in the intervals between having my expressed milk, he had formula to keep him 'topped up'.
After five days he was given a bottle and I was told this was best for him as it was less effort than breastfeeding. He was still too weak to feed from me and he would use less energy bottle feeding which meant he'd have more energy to get better quicker.
After another week, he was eventually allowed home and we tried to re-establish breastfeeding but he wouldn't take to it. He was restless and just screamed, he wanted a bottle as this is what he had become used to. I also developed mastitis as I wasn't emptying my breasts regularly and it became so painful. I was exhausted and just felt like giving up.
After another two weeks of trying to get breastfeeding established I guess I eventually just had enough and stopped trying, switching to bottle feeding altogether. To be honest, the whole situation had traumatised me and I didn't feel up to battling on with it.
I did feel like I had let him down as his mum for not being able to feed him and I did feel depressed about this for a little while. However, I spoke to my doctor a lot and she was great, she really reassured me and helped me to realise that it wasn't my fault and that it was the situation that meant I hadn't been able to feed him, not that I was a failure at all. I soon learned to just be grateful that he was well and he was at home with us.
At the time I was worried that it may affect how close I felt to him. I remember I used to feed him with his bottle and have skin to skin contact at the same time, which I think really helped. I would make sure there was plenty of eye contact while he was feeding and he had my full attention too. In between feeding we had lots of cuddles and play time.
I also found bath times were a great way to bond with him, and we regularly bathed together. He also slept in our room until he was over one year old and his cot was right next to our bed. We often woke up with our heads touching through the cot bars. I think this time spent together really helped us to become as close as we could be.
I'm also a great believer that you can never hold a child too much, so I hardly ever put him down, which I believe did help to build our relationship and make us as close as we are today.
I look at him now and he's such a lovely little boy, we have a wonderful relationship and we are very close. I have another son now who I did breastfeed successfully and I can honestly say that it hasn't made me any closer to him than it has to his brother, I feel close to them both and love them both equally.

I've been followed around WalMart before by an LP guy. I guess cosmetics tend to be popular with shoplifters, so I wasn't too surprised to be watched in that aisle. It was annoying because he was so obvious, following me up one aisle and the next, pretending to be looking at the products - I mean, what guy stands around looking at mascara unless he's a drag queen?
The next time it happens, I'm walking over to the feminine hygiene aisle and I'm going to browse throught the tampons for a whole hour. Let's see how long he lasts.

I've never been a fan of a key city charter provision in Zephyrhills. It's the caveat that allows for electing a mayor to a largely ceremonial role while five council members hash out and vote on the ordinances and spending to govern Pasco's second-largest city.
The council president, not the mayor, runs council meetings and signs the official documents requiring a signature. The mayor's post is a waste of a part-time salary even if the job does come with the never-been-used ability to veto a council-approved ordinance.
The goofy charter aside, I am warming to the idea of Mayor Cliff McDuffie as a public servant.
McDuffie, for the second time in his seven-year mayoral career, pulled out the veto threat earlier in the week and in doing so, elevated the level of public debate surrounding government spending, services and taxation. Monday evening, McDuffie, in prepared remarks, said he had planned to veto the property tax rate established by the council because it was too low.
Think about that for a second. In an era of local governments too often guided entirely by a no-new-taxes approach to balancing the budget, McDuffie not only supported a property tax increase, but did it while scolding the council for being short-sighted.
"Your chance to keep us on an fairly even keel was ignored as you elected, by a slim vote, to remain the same rate, very possibly costing someone here in our employment their job,'' McDuffie admonished.
It's one thing to acquiesce quietly, it's quite another to lead the parade publicly. McDuffie quite clearly chose the latter in announcing he wanted to veto the ordinance setting the proposed tax rate at $5.52 per $1,000 of property value. He backed off after learning from the state Department of Revenue and the city attorney that his action could trigger heavy financial penalties to the municipal government for missing state-mandated deadlines for setting, advertising and holding public hearings on a maximum tax rate.
McDuffie wanted a tax rate of $5.70, a modest increase of 3 percent, that would have cost someone with a $91,000 home an extra five bucks a year, or, as the mayor pointed out, the approximate price of a pack of cigarettes, a six-pack of beer or a Cuban or Subway sandwich. It would generate about $70,000 extra for a city staring at $446,000 in reduced property tax revenues due to falling real estate values. Its preferable to more cuts, possible layoffs and reduced capital spending, the mayor said.
McDuffie's statements, ironically, came the same evening the council delayed a decision on renovating its flood-damaged fire station on Sixth Avenue and debated the wisdom of retaining its own animal control officer, with cost considerations driving both discussions.
It is a frustrating exercise being repeated in city halls and government centers around Florida. What is the level of service people want and what can we afford to give them?
New Port Richey and Pasco County, for instance, both increased their proposed tax rates from the current year to stave off even more severe personnel reductions and service cuts, which brought a public plea from the West Pasco Board of Realtors, in a recent letter to this newspaper, to reverse the strategy.
Dade City kept its tax rate steady despite a $478,000 shortfall, then immediately talked of cutting jobs, city contributions to domestic violence and housing programs and its series of movies in the park for children.
The first time McDuffie threatened a veto was on a 2004 land-use issue. He received an immediate compromise from a developer who agreed to build homes on larger lots after the mayor said he would veto the annexation of the property into the city. There will be no such compromise available this time around. Zephyrhills must now push its budget forward with significantly less money available to it.
It no doubt pleases many. The Realtors, for instance, in seeking no tax increases, said "this is the time for quality leadership and we are confident we have that in place throughout Pasco County.''
No argument here, though I suspect we would diverge terribly on a definition for quality leadership.

On my 46th birthday as a present to myself, I decided it was time to start thinking more about myself. I have put my needs at the bottom of all my families needs for long enough. I inherited my families trait for a short, turkey neck and wanted to correct this problem before it got worse with age. As a salesperson I deal with people and need to look my best.
The Pros: I originaly went to an appointment to hear about this procedure. I left the appointment with an appointment for the next day to have the procedure done. Everything was so easy. I spoke to the doctor doing the surgery and he explained everything to me and he showed me what he was going to be able to do for me. After surgery, The swelling only lasted for 3 days. I felt great within a week. People do not really notice. They say things like "I can tell that you are losing weight". I now can wear turtle necks and wear v neck tops with necklaces and don't have to worry about how my neck looks. My neck looks much longer.
The only con for me was being awake through the entire process and being able to occassional feel cutting, burning, the smell of burning and it felt like it took forever. Then after there was the swelling & numbness of the face. When it was time to remove the stitches the nurse did not remove them all. I had to remove some that were missed behind my ear myself.
I am still under the doctors treatment and have not quite completed the process. I do not have the before and after photos. My 3 month period after surgery will be on Jan 4 2012. I still have another appointment. I'm sure they will be taking more photos at that time. The time from consultation to surgery was short. I only saw the doctor before and during the surgery, I was pretty nervous and under alot of stress while under the knife and not feeing chatty.

Arranged by Joel Raney. This edition: Complete. Collection. General Worship, Sacred, Hymntune: CORONATION, EASTER HYMN, CRUCIFER, HYMN TO JOY, ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR, ST. ANNE, ADESTE FIDELES, ANTIOCH, ELLACOMBE, LYONS, BATTLE HYMN. Collection. 116 pages. Published by Hope Publishing Company (HP.8535).

These settings are derived from Joel's popular series of "Worship Openers." While the "Worship Openers" are extended works that include optional handbells, choir, and sometimes brass, these arrangements have been condensed and modified in order to make them more accessible for busy church musicians who are looking for exciting preludes, offertories, and special music. Two books are needed for performance.

Bobby Bowden's final season at Florida State was sold as a parting of the ways last December. The reality is that Bowden was fired by school president T.K. Wetherell and has left the long-time relationship between two strained.
The relationship went back 47 years to when Wetherell played for Florida State and Bowden was his position coach.
Wetherall eventually became school president in 2003. He made the decision to hire Jimbo Fisher as the coach-in-waiting to replace Bowden in 2007. The plan was for the coach to end his career after the 2010 season.
But things changed after a 37-10 loss to Florida. Wetherall went to Bowden and said he had the choice of being an ambassador coach in 2010 with Fisher having authority over the program or the school would not renew his contract.
Bowden chose the latter and "resigned" before coaching the Seminoles to a win the Gator Bowl.
In his new book, Called to Coach, Bowden reveals the details of the conversation. He said after the loss to Florida, Wetherell came to him and said, "Bobby, this isn't going to be pretty."
Wetherall, who resigned as school president earlier this year, admitted to the Palm Beach Post that things have changed between him and Bowden.
"I consider him today a friend. It's a strained relationship for sure. That's the business he is in and that's the business I was in. I would love to have the opportunity at some point to reconnect, play golf, have a barbecue. I think it's going to take some time to get there from his perspective."
The premature end to his coaching career was a shift to previous support that had been constant through his 34 years in Tallahassee where he had 304 of his 379 coaching victories. Twelve other wins were removed after NCAA violations.
"I know things don't always end the way you expect them to, but where was the loyalty you would think you'd get after thirty-four years of service?" he wrote. "You can't imagine how many times those in charge told me over the last twenty years, 'Bobby, you can coach as long as you'd like at FSU.'"
