Delia Ketchum (Japanese: ハナコ Hanako), also known as Mrs. Ketchum (Japanese: ママさん Mama-san) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime. She is the mother of Ash.
Original series
According to Takeshi Shudō's novelization, she runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a Pokémon Trainer, but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after Ash was born. Pocket Monsters: The Animation also elaborates that the reason why she raised Ash by herself is that his father married her fast and then left just as fast due to him being a Pokémon Trainer. It is also implied that the reason he and Ash's grandfather didn't return is because they achieved nothing in their goal.
Delia made her debut in Pokémon - I Choose You!, telling Ash that he should get to bed for his big day tomorrow. She was then seen in front of Professor Oak's Laboratory with a small group of people from Pallet Town, cheering Ash on as he walked out with his first Pokémon. She was shown to be very sad that her little boy was growing up, but quickly put it aside to tell him everything that she had packed in his backpack for his journey. When she unintentionally insulted Pikachu, who was already upset at getting Ash for a Trainer, he used his ThunderShock and shocked the entire group.
She was seen again in the the next episode when Ash decided to call her while waiting for his Pikachu to be healed by Nurse Joy. She seemed to be surprised that he was already in Viridian. She also mentioned his father, saying it took him four days to get there when he began his Pokémon Journey. Also mentioning his father would be proud of him, she commented that he was the apple of his eye. When he continued to shoot down her words of encouragement, she became angry and scolded him by telling him that he can do anything he set his mind to.
She makes an appearance in Beauty and the Beach, where she, along with Professor Oak and Gary, visit Porta Vista. She sits in the stands during the beauty and costume contest, and holds the winner's trophy at the end of the episode, where she tells Professor Oak that she is proud of Ash.
She appears again in It's Mr. Mime Time, watching a performance of the Pokémon Circus. She watches what appears to be a Mr. Mime, but is actually Ash in a costume. This is revealed to her when Ash fights Team Rocket, later stealing their balloon. Later, she invites Brock and Misty over to her house for lunch. A wild Mr. Mime that Ash, Brock, and Misty saw at the beginning of the episode taps on the window, and Delia thinks it's Ash. She lets "Ash" in for a snack, but then the real Ash appears, revealing to Delia that the Mr. Mime isn't fake. Ash asks Mr. Mime to help him, and Delia encourages Mr. Mime, offering it a big dessert. Later, when Team Rocket steals Pokémon with a tank, she has the wild Mr. Mime stop Team Rocket. Stella's Mr. Mime and the wild one build a brick tower around the tank, so Team Rocket fires a missile, but it rebounds and sends Team Rocket blasting off. At the end of the episode, the wild Mr. Mime, whom Delia has nicknamed Mimey, stays with her.
Delia next appeared in Showdown at the Po-ké Corral. Ash greets his mother in the kitchen, and tells her that Mimey vacuumed his face, to which she responds that Mimey cleans dirty things. She also tells him that Mimey only listens to her. Later in the episode, Team Rocket (as a news crew) appears at her house, claiming that they want to have an interview with Ash, but Delia tells them that Ash is at Oak's laboratory.
In The Evolution Solution, Delia went to the Seafoam Islands with Ash and his friends.
In Make Room for Gloom, she tells her son to help out in the garden, but Ash says that he has to do some "serious training" in the mountains. She tells him and his friends to get 3 to 400 pounds of fertilizer from the Xanadu Nursery.
In Go West Young Meowth, she goes to Hollywood with Ash and his friends. They are the only ones who watch the premiere of Cleavon Schpielbunk's new movie, Pokémon in Love, which was filmed in the previous episode.
Three episodes later, she wishes Ash good luck as he heads off to Indigo Plateau for the Indigo Plateau Conference.
She reappears in A Friend In Deed. She is standing outside a restaurant in the Indigo Plateau with Prof. Oak, where she meets Ash and his friends. She cooks in the restaurant (to the confusion of the cooks). When she has cooked for them, they sit down to eat and talk. Later, she is stuck in the elevator with Ash, his friends, Prof. Oak, and Ritchie when Ritchie and Pikachu save them.
In Friend and Foe Alike, she watches Ash's round five battle against Ritchie with Brock, Misty, and Prof. Oak and wonders why Ash isn't there: he has been kidnapped by Team Rocket. She is relieved when he shows up.
In Friends to the End, Delia worries about Ash, as he won't get out of bed.
Delia is seen again in A Tent Situation, when she arrives at her house and finds Ash, Misty, Brock, and Tracey there. She tells Ash, Misty, and Tracey that she found Brock on the ground in a field of grass. She let him stay at her house, and he has been doing chores for her. They discuss dinner, and when Ash shows her his trophy, she says she could use it as a dumbbell. Later in the episode, she and Mimey pack things into Ash's backpack because he is going to Johto for the Johto League. The next day, Ash leaves for Johto.
Advanced Generation series
Delia appeared in Saved by the Beldum, watching Ash light the Pokémon League torch. Later, in The Scheme Team, she was seen welcoming Ash home.
In The Right Place and the Right Mime, she wonders what she'll cook for dinner. The doorbell rings and Mimey answers it. Delia goes to the door and finds May and her Bulbasaur, Combusken, and Munchlax. Later, May and Delia go to Professor Oak's laboratory. They go downstairs and have tea. Ash tells everyone about the Battle Frontier: it's set across Kanto, with seven Frontier Brains, who are like Gym Leaders in that they give out a Frontier Symbol upon being defeated. Delia says that there are Contest Halls in Kanto, which excites May. Ash says that he will be leaving the next day. Afterwards, Professor Oak asks Delia if she's worried about Ash leaving on another journey. She says that she isn't. When Team Rocket tries to steal Ash's Pokémon again, Delia and Professors Oak and Birch run out of the lab. Delia stops Professor Birch from helping Ash and his friends from getting their Pokémon back, saying that it's their fight. When Team Rocket blasts off, Delia says that she knew they could do it. Later in the episode, Delia says her goodbyes to Ash as he sets off on another journey.
In Home is Where the Start Is!, neither Delia nor Mimey aren't in Ash's house when he comes back from his Battle Frontier journey. He goes to Professor Oak's laboratory, and he can't find the professor or Tracey. When he enters the sitting room, Tracey, Mimey, Gary, Delia, and the professor appear and welcome Ash home. Delia is presented with all seven of her son's Fontier Symbols. Soon, Ash challenges Gary to a battle and he accepts. Delia watches the battle between Pikachu and Gary's Electivire, which Gary and Electivire win. After Gary leaves for Sinnoh, Ash announces that he will go to Sinnoh as well. That night, Delia sews.

As Ash was staying at Johanna's house for the duration of the Twinleaf Festival, she told her to feel free to scold Ash if needed, much to Ash's embarrassment.
Delia also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where it was shown that Ash sent her a bouquet of Gracidea flowers.
Best Wishes series
Delia appeared in In the Shadow of Zekrom!. She went on a trip to the Unova region with Professor Oak and her son by plane. The plane docks at a pier, and after they get off, Pikachu senses something and turns around. He looks up at the large dark cloud overhead. Delia is separated from her son after Team Rocket tries to capture Pikachu but fails when their machine is destroyed by lightning. Ash and Pikachu are pulled into the storm.

Sun & Moon series
Delia appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, in which she was shown to have traveled to Alola along with Ash after Mimey won a trip to the region in the lottery. By the end of the episode, she had already returned to Pallet Town and was seen talking to Ash over a video call.
Delia traveled to Alola again in Alolan Open House!, in which she reunited with Ash at Professor Kukui's house. She met her son's Pokémon and gave them nicknames: Rocky (Japanese イちゃん I-chan) for Rockruff, Rowley (Japanese モクちゃん Mok-chan) for Rowlet, Litty (Japanese ニャビーちゃん Nyabby-chan) for Litten, and Dexy-Wexy (Japanese ズカンちゃん Zukan-chan) for the Rotom Pokédex. Later, she went to the Pokémon School, which was welcoming students' relatives as part of the Visiting Day. She watched Ash's presentation and was seen chatting with Sophocles's parents. She took a liking for Litten and even used it in battle against Tupper, Zip, and Wrap from Team Skull. She left Ash and returned to Kanto by the end of the episode.
Delia Ketchum is a relatively reserved woman. She is usually quiet and cheerful, but when angered, she makes it known. In fact, she once shouted at an Entei and said he should be ashamed of himself in Spell of the Unown: Entei. It was also revealed during the film that she was once a student of Professor Oak, along with Spencer Hale.
Delia lives in Pallet Town with Mimey, a Mr. Mime that she befriended in It's Mr. Mime Time. She is shown to care for Ash deeply, as he is her only child. She does reprimand him sometimes, as in the first episode, when she told him to go to bed so he would be ready for his first day as a Pokémon Trainer. Throughout Ash's journey, Delia has mainly stayed at home, but she traveled with Ash to the Unova region in In The Shadow of Zekrom!. She flew home once Ash left on his quest to collect the Unova League Gym Badges.
Brock once commented that she would make a great Pokémon Trainer because of her perseverance. Her husband was mentioned in Pokémon Emergency! as a Trainer still on his journey. However, he has yet to appear onscreen.
This listing is of Delia's known Pokémon in the anime:

Nelson Figueroa actually pitched a really good game, allowing two runs, one earned, in five innings. It was a gutsy performance considering Figueroa was on a pitch count after having thrown 39 pitches in 2 1/3 innings two days before against the Phillies.
Figueroa took the loss in the first game of three against the Marlins, but it was the defense behind him and the lack off offense that contributed to it. In the second game in a row in which the Mets have played, a player committed two errors by himself on the same play in the same inning. Yesterday, it was Chase Utley. Tonight it was Daniel Murphy, who didn't come up with a ground-out and then threw the ball wide of first to allow Hanley Ramirez to go to third. He would eventually score to tie the game at one.
The Mets scored their only run in the fourth inning after Jeff Francoeur hit his second double of the night. Fernando Tatis drove him on on an RBI single. The Mets then squandered their next best chance to score runs. In the fifth inning, the bases were loaded with one out, but they just couldn't get it done. Francoeur popped up and Tatis struck out to end the threat.
The Marlins scored their second run in the fifth inning. It was all they would need to win the game. Sean Green got into a couple of jams, including a bases-loaded situation, but managed to get out of them. He pitched two innings. Francisco Rodriguez went into the game in the eighth inning to keep it close and get in some work. He walked the first batter but ended up striking out two.
On the day it was announced that JJ Putz and Johan Santana were being shut down for the rest of the year and Oliver Perez would miss his next start, Gary Sheffield left the game early in the seventh inning after a walk. A walk! He said he felt something when he darted for second. Even though he took himself out of the game, he did say after the game it wasn't anything serious and it was just back spasms.
Mike Pelfrey, who will probably be the last starter who began the season in the starting rotation depending on the length of Perez's injury, will face the excellent Josh Johnson who has lost only three games all year.

By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
The surging popularity of the tablet computer — popularized by Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab — has put the kibosh on sales of netbooks.
Just a year ago, predictions were that the netbook would be the hot seller of 2010. But the ultra-compact, cheap notebook computers popularized by companies like Acer and Asus saw little growth this year. Meanwhile the tablet PC grew a category that barely existed a year ago, with sales of more than 20 million units, according to technology research firm Gartner.
Consumers preferred the styling, apps, touch-screen and compactness of tablets over the traditional netbook. Only 33.4 million netbooks sold in 2010, a slight increase over 2009's 32.2 million, Gartner says. "The predictions were that netbooks would surpass 40 million this year," says Roger Kay, an analyst at research firm Endpoint Technologies. "That didn't happen."
"The netbook was a disappointment to many consumers," Kay says. "It was perceived as a lousy notebook."
Netbooks won't go away, predicts George Shiffler, an analyst at Gartner. "We see them flattening out, and more or less holding the position they do now." He expects sales in the mid-30 millions for 2011. Kay disagrees, forecasting the demise of netbooks in the next few years. "The market will further shrink," he says. "It's just not up to the experience of the notebook."
Generally available for $250-$400, netbooks offer a full-size keyboard, Windows and a slower processor than bigger computers. "They were just too slow for many people," Kay says.
The iPad, at $499 for the entry-level model, is nearly twice as expensive but zippy and easy to operate.
Netbooks were also hurt by the falling price of laptop computers. Prices on some entry-level notebooks fell to $400 to $500 in 2010. "People started looking at what they could get for an extra $100, and opted for the notebook instead," Shiffler says.
As in years past, more notebooks sold than desktops — 205.1 million vs. 147.3 million, up from 170 million and 138.4 million in 2009.
"We haven't seen the end of growth for the notebook," Kay says. "It's the category with the largest long-term growth."
Overall, 2010 was a strong year for the personal computer industry, which saw rising sales despite the recession. Gartner predicts the sales of 409 million PCs and 65 million tablet computers for 2011.
The popularity of the iPad has sparked many in the PC industry to follow up in 2011 with their own versions of a tablet computer, mimicking the touch-screen and the absence of a physical keyboard. Dozens of the new devices — from companies including Motorola, LG and Toshiba — will be introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week.

Ratings for Dr. Allan Fradsham
Allan is a good young man. He is very professional and knowledgeable and is willing to explain what he is doing until you understand. He has great listening skills and takes in what you are saying. I can understand why he is rated the top acupuncturist in the area. After a half dozen treatments, I feel far better than I did previously. I recommend him to anyone seeking a different path of healthcare or to anyone who simply wants to combine mainstream and traditional Chinese medicine. I feel it necessary to critique the staff however. I believe there is a combination of disorganization and administrative flaws that lead to appointment mix-ups, confusion and congestion at the front desk. The front staff should be able to advise new patients on how to arrive at their somewhat awkwardly placed location. I would also like to see the location accessible to wheelchair users. As an elderly person, I would hope that there be more consideration for my age group.
When Dr. Fradsham was with Lumina the whole experience was delightful -all 5's. Now that he has moved to Seeker's Centre, the rating is different. Poor staff, not punctual, unhelpful office support. He himself continues to offer great care, however it is hard to separate from the experience of going to the centre.
I saw Dr.Fradsham for carpal tunnel syndrome - after two weeks treatment saw considerable relief - saved me from having possible multiple operations - Dr Fradsham was very personable and extremely knowledgable. I am thankful that I was able to be treated by him.
Allan takes a very personal, attentive, relational approach to his practice. He has made me feel at ease in his presence and has helped me on a variety of levels through acupuncture and energy work. He is a gift that has been brought to me via good karma!
Dr. Fradhsam is attentive knowledgeable and has truly been my saviour to aid in my sleep disorder
I am so impressed with Dr. Framsham! He gave me my life back...it's incredible! He helped me and western medicine couldn't. Not only is he knowledgeable, but definately very approachable and you can talk to him about anything! The Chinese used to pay their doctor a monthly fee and when they got sick - they didn't pay their doctors. I think that our western doctor's would be dirt poor if we followed that theory!
Dr. Fradsham is a wonderful doctor of chinese medicine. I've been going to him since Feb. 2007 for his "facial acupuncture" specialty. He is very knowledgeable about alternative therapies and supplements and is very open to feedback and questions his clients might have.

Milwaukee:The Capital of Water
It often takes an outsider to help us truly understand the beauty of Lake Michigan and how it benefits the greater Milwaukee area.
Forbes is again that outsider as the site, April 15 print edition and reporter Joann Muller look at Milwaukee's ascent and quest to be the water capital of the world in a story called "The Capital of Water."
It's a great piece and testament to the many people, institutions and entities that have leveraged, promoted and positioned Milwaukee's access to fresh water.

The Junipero Serra School on south Fair Oaks Avenue was sometimes called "The Gas Tank School" because of its proximity to the large gas holders of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation.
The school was built for Pasadena students of Mexican descent.
The neighborhood was a Mexican barrio with 984 occupants, according to a survey by USC graduate student Anna Christine Lofstedt in 1922.
The survey showed it also had 294 chickens, 34 rabbits and 28 goats.
Employment was sporadic. Some houses were in bad shape. Help was available from the Pasadena Welfare Bureau, the Edna F. Alter Mexican Settlement, the Pasadena Dispensary and other agencies.
But the minutes of the Board of Directors meeting of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association of June 20, 1922 describe a housing crisis.
"The need is urgent. Seventeen families are obliged to give up their homes immediately because of the gas company needing the land for a new gas tank. Some of the families will probably be housed temporarily in tents.
"The number of houses that can be rented to Mexicans is very limited and this often results in Mexican families being crowded together to a disgraceful degree. Many of the houses that are available are such filthy shacks that they should not be tolerated. If a constructive work is to be done in teaching the Mexicans law and order, something must be done to help them secure decent homes."
The chamber president appointed a Special Housing Committee to recommend solutions. The committee made good use of the thesis by Lofstedt in its investigation. They recommended that a Mexican Homes Association be formed, a corporation that would sell bonds and acquire land and build houses.
It was decided that the Mexican-American families would prefer to stay in the area where schools, churches and welfare agencies were already available. The committee also said: "The residents of Pasadena would not welcome any encroachment on their residence section on the part of the Mexicans."
A tract of on the east side of Broadway (now Arroyo Parkway) having a frontage of 246 feet and a depth of 185 feet was bought for $7,380.
Twenty-four homes were built as "Broadway Court."
Anna Christine Lofstedt, who had studied the neighborhood, became principal of the fine new Junipero Serra School.

The Staff was very polite and helpfull.
Rooms nice modern and spacious. Great bathroom and shower. Staff all spoke English and extremely nice and helpful Everything
Staff service. Room view for the amount of money paid, overpriced room service with not so high food quality
Helpful concierge desk. Very helpful indeed. Very small issue, of when we received a tiny bottle of ketchup in our room, which was opened / partially used. I'm sure it was an oversight, but it would probably offend an infrequent traveller.
Please write at least 15 words
Excellent hotel, clean, modern. Concierge was very helpful. Internet was free and reasonably fast. Location is a little away from the main sites to see but relatively close to Kyoto station. Overall, excellent place to stay. Please do not bring your kids here. The entire hotel was generally excellent for adults, business travelers, solo travelers, romantic getaways. Exception was that there was one family with possibly the only children in the hotel running/stomping around. Not appropriate. Please don't bring your children, this is not Disneyland, or at least keep your children under better control.
I like the design of the hotel the most. Lobby area is very spacious and nice. Breakfast was wonderful. Rooms are very nicely decorated with simple zen design. The bathroom area was very well planed and nicely done. The restaurants were not up to their standards. The food was average and the price was certainly high.
The location is in a great part of Kyoto, within walking distance to lots of sights and restaurants. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. Bathrooms were huge and wifi signal was reliable. It wasn't a big deal, but the towels were kept in the closet and the hair dryer under the TV? Just a bit confusing.
Well managed hotel. Excellent staff, particularly male front desk agent March 20-21, he would be top notch customer service at any hotel. Room well stocked with toiletries, robe, etc. Nice complementary breakfast with several items selections changing day to day. Great price. Location: between everything and close to nothing. Getting from Kyoto station with luggage is not convenient as you have to wait and change trains, ex post I would pay $9-10 for a taxi. The metro station is right next to hotel but it pretty much good for going 1 station up to Gion or several stations down to Inari (everything else is out of easy reach). Room: window covered with paper panel because it literary faces the wall of another building so effectively no window. Overall: if budget is important that's a great hotel, if you'd rather pay more for a better experience, it is not.

Firefighters battle big blaze, soaring tempratures near Elmira
CTV Kitchener
Published Tuesday, July 17, 2012 1:12PM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, July 18, 2012 6:04AM EDT
A fire at a woodworking shop on Arthur Street north of Elmira kept about sixty firefighters from four different stations busy for hours on Tuesday.
Crews from Floradale, Elmira, St. Jacobs and Conestogo battled the blaze on one of the hottest days of the year.
The call came in shortly before 11 a.m., about the fire on the property belonging to Elbru Distributors, makers of hardwood flooring.
Firefighters say the fire began in a shop, but quickly spread.
"Within a matter of a short time, fire travelled on throughout the whole building and engulfed the whole thing," says Dennis Frey, district chief of the Floradale fire station.
About ten people were working at the time, but no one was hurt.
Witnesses say flames could be seen billowing more than 15 metres into the air.
Darrin Mueller drove to the scene, saying he could see smoke from Kitchener.
Extra precautions were taken to ensure fire crews were hydrated while fighting the flames, with a tent and refreshments brought in to help them cope.

"By this spring we will have all of the required curb ramps completed," she told the task force. The settlement allowed the city until the end of 2009 to complete all the ramps and until the end of 2012 to complete sidewalk repairs.
The lawsuit noted that those citizens who use crutches or wheelchairs could not use sidewalks in Lebanon due to how they were constructed.
The new curbs that have been installed not only allow them to move freely around Lebanon, they also provide warnings for people who are visually impaired.
There are special bumps at the edge of each curb which a blind person can feel with a cane to warn them that they are one the edge of a street, said Task Force Chair Bill Durham.
And the final 30 or so curbs are scheduled to be built this year, Phillips pointed out. The original suit called for about 150 curbs to be replaced or built.
"Now we can concentrate on sidewalks," Durham said.
The city has been repairing sidewalks to comply with the agreement, but was required to give a high priority to the ramps, he added.
The task force was formed in 2004 as part of the requirements of the settlement. It meets every three months at City Hall, usually on the second Tuesday of the month. Members of the task force include Saranne Winfield, Hershey Gheris, Kurt Fagin, Jerri Reese, Carey Moore, Mike Schmidtz and Ray Cravens. Ex-Officio members are Durham, Phillips, City Attorney Andy Wright, Public Works Commissioner Jeff Baines and city employees Lee Ann Batey and Rachel King.

A Rich Winemaking Tradition
Discover the secrets of our wines-continuing the area's fine tradition of winemaking.
The Walla Walla valley has a long and rich history of grape production. In the first month after arriving in the area Narcissa Whitman, wife of doctor and missionary Marcus Whitman, noted in her diary of finding grapevines growing in the area-most likely planted by French Canadian trappers.
Several vineyards were planted in the 1850's and 1860's. In 1859, A.B. Roberts imported more than eighty varieties of grapes from Europe through one of his French nursery workers as well as varieties from French Canadians living in the Willamette Valley.
In 1876, Frank Orselli, an Italian from Lucca, Italy stationed at Fort Walla Walla, opened what may have been the area's first commercial winery producing 1000 cases of wine.
We are honored to be a part of this proud tradition.

Atlanta Ice Storm 2014
February 1, 2014 by staff
Atlanta Ice Storm 2014, A rare ice storm has turned Atlanta into a slippery mess, stranding thousands for hours on frozen roadways and raising questions about how city leaders prepared for and handled the cold snap that slammed the US south.
The storm, which has killed at least seven people, on Wednesday swept over a region of about 60 million largely unaccustomed to ice and snow " stretching from Texas through Georgia and into the Carolinas " with forecasts of more freezing weather on Thursday.
Overnight temperatures in the Atlanta region are expected to remain well below freezing, with temperatures in the US south-east dropping into the teens Fahrenheit (-10C to -7C) on Thursday. That could hinder efforts to clear ice-covered roads and abandoned cars that litter the region.
Georgia officials said on Wednesday that the real progress in cleaning up the region would not come until after the icy roads begin to thaw, which could happen around midday on Thursday, meteorologists said.
The mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed, came under fire for his response to a storm that trapped hundreds of children in schools overnight, some without provisions, and created traffic jams stretching for miles on roads coated with 2in (5 cm) of snow.
"Folks are angry with the mayor of Atlanta, with the governor," said Flavia DiCesare, 54, who spent the night in her office at Cox Enterprises in Atlanta, about 30 miles from home.
The mayor said schools, businesses and government offices were partly to blame for sending all the workers home just as the storm was rolling in.
"During the day, we have a million to 1.2 million people in this city and all those people were out in very bad weather. It hampered our ability to get our equipment on the ground and to prepare our roads for that," Reed told a news conference.
"The error " and we have shared responsibility for the error " was letting everybody out at once," he said.

By KRIS GONZALEZ, Fort Jackson LeaderAugust 12, 2010
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- As Fort Jackson students head back to school next week, the new year will bring lots of changes, including a new principal, new staff and plenty of classroom transformations.
C.C. Pinckney Elementary School's new principal, Sherry Schneider, is already on the job, preparing to meet the third through sixth-graders whose education she'll be overseeing starting Aug. 19.
The Michigan native said she can't wait for classes to begin.
"The campus is gorgeous and everybody is so polite and friendly; it's fantastic," Schneider said. "I'm really excited."
Schneider, whose career in education spans back to 1990, said she's hoping to bring a sense of collaboration and team building to the school.
"I firmly believe that all students can achieve and learn," Schneider said. "We just need to find the right strategies and techniques, and the best way to do that is through collaboration."
She said her main objective is to foster an environment that helps students advance as they continue to move into the 21st century.
But as Schneider moves in to Pinckney, the second graders will be moving out.
Fort Jackson's second-grade students will be attending Pierce Terrace, where principal Brian Perry said he's excited to welcome the 7 and 8-year-olds.
"Bringing second grade to Pierce is keeping consistent with the structure of most (Department of Defense Education Activity) schools, which typically teach students in pre-K through second grade in one schoolhouse and students in third through sixth grades in another," Perry said.
Perry will also be welcoming a younger crowd, thanks to DoDEA's Reduced Kindergarten PTR initiative for school year 2010-2011, which provided for an additional kindergarten class in the school.
"By adding the new kindergarten classroom, we can decrease class size to 18 students or (fewer) per teacher," Perry said.
Students will also see a number of staff changes, Perry said, which means some teachers have changed grade levels.
"We developed what we thought were the best teams of teachers for each grade level," he said.
Pierce will also have a new media specialist, and a new assessor who will assess the educational needs of students. Both schools will reap the benefits of a fulltime school psychologist, as well as student information assistants who will help the school's secretaries register new students and maintain school records.
And in order to register, students must meet DoDEA's new immunization requirement that all enrolled students, as well as new students, need to show proof of having received two doses of the Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
But what the students might consider the most exciting change this year will be having recess before lunch.
Both schools will implement the new schedule when the students arrive next week. Perry said he hopes the change will encourage students to eat more, return to class calmer, and as a result, learn more.
For more information, and a chance to meet the principals and teachers, parents and students are invited to attend an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday at both schools.

1. Don't buy a 2011 that was built before March 2011. Try to go for a 2012 if possible.
2. Correct, Sport package itself contains NO suspension related improvements. MSport does...has dynamic dampers and ARS. For 2011, you would need to add DHP to the sport package to get the above.
3. The base suspension on the 2011's is pretty non-sporty, IMO. I feel like it's gotten better with the later cars.
4. DHP wasn't normally ordered on Sport cars as it's expensive. Most people went with MSport or just the sport package. The issues regarding the ARS haven't been as pervasive as some of the others (pull to the right, vibrating wheels, etc.)

UGG Australia 'Caroline' Boot
As far as I've found online, Nordstrom has the best price for these babies. A friend of mine has them who is a reporter, and she can run around all day in them. They are so comfortable! Believe me. Unfortunately, even at the fabulous price of $274, they're too steep for me, but maybe someday I'll have a pair.

Clean and tidy. Respectful and mindful of others space, and appreciate the same. Quiet, keep to myself and chatty every now and again and looking to team up.

I enjoy cooking and hiking in my pass times. Would ideally like to become an addition to a 'home' rather than just a 'house share'.
I'm easy to get along with and stick to myself most of the time but I also don't mind a good chat and beer.

I like to have a couple of drinks on the weekend but nothing too extreme. Searching for like minded people. Cheers
I work full-time however work does require me to travel on a regular-ish basis therefore it's likely I could be travelling and not at home some nights. I'm tidy, enjoy a sneaky bev and house chats. That being said I also like my down time andddddd I am studying my Masters.
I am extremely easy going lass that sticks mostly to herself but is always down for a chat and a cup of tea. I have been living out of home for a year and have never had any issues with any of the housemates I've had over this time. I'm very open minded, down to earth and find it easy to form connections with most of the people that enter my life. I spend most of my time playing music, hiking, reading, gardening, relaxing at home and well... working. I'm a full time apprentice hairdresser so the perks of living with me includes free hair cuts!

I Do have 2 older boys, 13 & 18 years old, who live with their dad in Nambour who may visit occasionally. I sometimes go visit them for a few nights. I'm on a disability pension but am able to do everything for myself, I just walk with a walking stick most of the time due to arthritis and back and hip problems.

You honestly wouldn't regret having me as a tenant, as I always pay my rent and bills on time, I'm quiet, very clean and tidy and very friendly, and like to stick to myself. Would prefer a room that has air conditioned as I get migraines and dizziness and the cool air and a dark room help immensely. Would prefer my own bathroom but would consider sharing a bathroom.

I am a single lady and an ex Professional dancer from London Showbusiness..therefore I love my music and I'm quite bubbly & outgoing and love meeting people..but I also like my privacy.
I'm an easy-going, responsible and reliable person. I'm a full-time student and work part-time in Mooloolaba (Hospitality Industry). Looking for pet-friendly accommodation for myself and my severely lovable dog named Spud. I clean up after myself and am more than happy to do my share around the house. I'm always down for a chat but I do also like my own space & privacy for studying. I love animals, listening to music & cooking and usually spend my spare time taking my dog to the beach or spending time with friends or family. Spud is a friendly 5 year old Border Collie cross Old English Sheepdog. He is very obedient, well trained and is great with other dogs & most animals..... but he is a little too fascinated by cats to live with one. I would like a place where he could stay outdoors during the day but allowed indoors when I'm home as he's pretty much my shadow. I also have my own car so it would be great to have a place to park it.

In laissez-faire Nevada, anything goes: except sexual hypocrisy and casino-tainted politicians.
As for mistresses like Jaimee Grubbs and Jamie Jungers, well, without traditional morality to guide them, anything goes.
He shook his head knowingly, as if to intone the word 'New York,' were to intone a universal spirit of 'anything goes'.
"You have to look for the ones whose profile says 'anything goes,'" she added.
Collective action of that sort is hard to imagine in La Zona, the part of Reynosa where anything goes, including crack.
Well, they can get rougher and noisier, and just anything goes, and this is some tough mob in here right now.
Must somebody be always punished when anything goes wrong in life?
My father will go on at me, I dare say, saying it was my fault, as he generally does when anything goes contrary to his orders.
If anything goes wrong, we must do what we can for the children.
You know that if anything goes wrong with it, you're cut off, in a way.


text: Let's face it, bad hair days suck. The fix, rewashing, blow drying, and styling, can take an hour or more – sometimes we just don't have that much time. You could just throw it in a ponytail, but if you're going out and want to feel cute, that doesn't really fix the problem either. Here's a quick way to freshen up your hair in 20 minutes – check out the tutorial I created for this hairstyle for medium length (it works great for long hair too, I just often have trouble finding style suggestions for medium hair.)

I installed dual-boot Win7 Ultimate and Backtrack 4 Final.
No general problems. Wireless works but injection failed. I do not know why. I used Alfa AWUS036H with no problems. Injection works with Alfa unit.
I love the larger keyboard, and the 15.1" screen. I rarely if ever use the CD/DVD drive. You must install VLC to play DVD's or listen to SomaFM. Audacity works.
Quick aside, I purchased a brand new battery. The computer has a longer battery life under Win7 than BackTrack. I do not know why this should be. I tried this over several weeks. I would think BackTrack is lighter OS, more efficient, etc. would get better mileage.
Except for the weight of the machine and general large size, you should have no problems with this machine.

The Progressive Party of 1912 was an American political party. It was formed after a split in the Republican Party between President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt.
The party also became known as the Bull Moose Party when former President Roosevelt boasted "I'm fit as a bull moose," before being shot in an assassination attempt prior to his 1912 campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What he said after he was shot was "It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." [1]
Inspiration for the party's beginnings may have come from Roosevelt's friend and supporter, U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah, who in October of 1906 broke off from the Republican Party and started the American Party in that state. This was a direct response to Mormon church leadership influence on the Senatorial elections between 1902 and 1905.

When did our daily bread take a wrong turn?
This forum has helped me turn my "meh" bread into yummy bread - and I've learned the true meaning of "stretch and fold!"
I recently wrote this piece for GoodFoodWorld.com and wanted to share it: http://www.goodfoodworld.com/2012/07/when-did-our-daily-bread-take-a-wrong-turn/ [1]
How did we get from people who ate 2 to 3 pounds of bread a day to people who eat 6 to 8 ounces daily?

Summer workouts paying dividends for Wildcats
By BOBBY "BUTCH" BURNEY | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Aug. 7, 2007 - The Edge seems to be paying off.
Sulphur Springs summer workout program, called The Edge, brought the Wildcats to two-a-day football practices in very good shape.
The Wildcats who attended the voluntary, seven-week program are seeing the dividends it is paying right now. It is the most evident in the conditioning sprints the Wildcats are running.
On Monday, all of the JV and varsity players lined up for 16 half-gassers. A half-gasser is a sprint across the football field and back, roughly 100 yards. Skill position players had 20 seconds to run each half-gasser, while linemen had 25 seconds. There was a one-minute rest between each sprint.
If the players did not each one under the allotted time, they had to run again today.
After yesterday's sprints, there were 15 players who did not complete the half-gassers under time, and that included about a half-dozen who did not run on Monday because they had not completed their physical examinations.
Of the 15 who ran on Tuesday morning, only three did not make all 16 sprints under time. That is indicative of how well The Edge prepared the players physically for two-a-days.
"The advantages to working out in the summer is it will hopefully help prevent injuries and it's going to let us not worry about getting kids in shape," SSHS head coach Greg Owens said before practice ever started. "When they're in shape, hopefully, our practices are shorter. They don't retain much when they're tired, either. When you're gasping for air, you're not hearing what's being said.
"The kids that were committed to us and were here, they're in pretty good shape right now."
At the end of The Edge, the Wildcats underwent strength and speed tests. Many of the players got faster and stronger over the summer, when they were working out for two hours a day, four days a week.
When they timed in the 40-yard dash, two players ran under 4.5 seconds. Sophomore receiver/defensive back Shane McQueen had the fastest time with a 4.47, while senior All-District wide receiver Daqualin "Boo" Evans clocked a 4.49.
In the vertical leap, senior All-District linebacker Brittan Diamond led the squad with a 31-inch jump.
"We feel good about where we're at athletically," Owens said. "Some kids have put on some weight, and some kids have lost some weight. I feel good about where we're at, athletically. We've had some tremendous strength gains as well."
In the strength tests, the Wildcats had three players bench press 300 or more pounds, four squat 400 or more, and three clean 275 or better.
In the bench press, senior linebacker Josh Dunn, who led the team in tackles in 2006, had the best lift with a maximum of 320. Defensive tackle Jamal Freeman benched 305 and All-District senior defensive end Tyler Francis lifted 300.
In the squat, junior running back Eddie Arciga led the team with a 455 maximum. Sophomore defensive lineman Colby Suggs and sophomore center Mason Y'Barbo each squatted 420, while sophomore lineman J.B. Beachum lifted 415 and junior lineman Jake Russell squatted 395.
Senior All-District defensive tackle Rodney Evans had the best clean lift with a 305 maximum. Francis lifted 280 and Suggs 275.
In the incline press, Freeman had a team-best 285 maximum.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, together with the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, will be holding a community information forum in Coffs Harbour on 12 February 2014.
Royal Commission CEO, Janette Dines, said this is the first time the Royal Commission has visited Coffs Harbour.
This community information forum will outline the work of the Royal Commission and the ways in which people can tell their own story or support others to come forward.
"Individuals and community groups will have the opportunity to talk to Commissioners and ask questions. Information about knowmore, a free legal advice service to help navigate the Royal Commission, will also be available," Ms Dines said.
In addition to the information forum, private sessions with Commissioners will be held in the Coffs Coast region for the first time.
The Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre will also be holding a support meeting for survivors of child sexual abuse on 13 February 2014.
The Royal Commission will be in Coffs Harbour from 12 – 14 February 2014.
Time: Wednesday, 12 February 2014, 6pm – 8:30pm
Venue: Blue Room, Coffs Ex-Services Club
Time: Thursday 13 February, 6pm – 8.30pm
Venue: Coffs Harbour Community Village
Please note: These events are not suitable for children under the age of 16.
If you wish to attend either of these events, please contact email@example.com
The Royal Commission has released a new research report that suggests strong connection to culture can help protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from sexual abuse in institutions.
The Royal Commission has published documents relating to Catholic Church Insurance (CCI) and the Society of St Gerard Majella that were tendered during the public hearing into Catholic Church authorities in Australia.

Dueling For Instagram Supremacy With Instawar
Instawar is one of the latest services developers are creating using the Instagram open API, while Printstagram makes digital photos physical.
Instawar gives us another example of what developers can do with the Instagram Open API. Instawar allows users to browse random Instagram photos in pairs, voting for the better of the two photos as they go. Ultimately, the site aims to 'crown' the best photographers on the service. Photographers accrue points as they win, which can be redeemed towards free prints from Printstagr.am.
Printstagr.am, on the other hand, provides printing services for your Instagram photos. From an 'instagrid' poster of your mobile masterpieces to stickers, Printstagr.am allows your seemingly fleeting, digital shots to take tactile form and find a home on your walls.
We're encouraged to see developers taking advantage of Instagram's Open API – does the evolution and future of Instagram also depend on the the innovation of developers?

Brower Takes Another National Honor
Sunday, January 25, 2009
Courtesy: Tim Flynn, Associate Director of Athletic Communications, University of Pennsylvania
For the third time this summer, Penn women's lacrosse Head Coach Karin Brower has been named the National Coach of the Year, this time by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches' Association (IWLCA).
Brower was previously honored by Inside Lacrosse magazine and womenslacrosse.com after guiding the Quakers to an Ivy League title and an appearance in the NCAA semifinals.
Penn pulled off one of the nation's most dramatic turnarounds, improving from 10-6 in 2006 to 16-2 this year. The team won its first Ivy League title in a quarter-century and earned its first NCAA berth since 1984. Brower coached the Quakers to a No. 2 national ranking behind a stifling defense that ranked second in the country. The Quakers ran the table in the Ivy League, and their only two losses came to the eventual national champion, Northwestern.
In 2000, Brower took over a struggling Penn program that had gone 1-12 the year before. Steady improvement has marked her tenure since, culminating in the 2007 season which saw her team set program records in wins (16), winning streak (13 in a row) and highest national ranking (second).
Karen MacCrate of C.W. Post and Anne Phillips of Franklin & Marshall were named the Division II and III national coaches of the year, respectively, after leading their teams to national titles.
