I'm new to the site and need someone who understands what it's like rather then telling me "you don't need to drive then". It all started yesterday in drivers ed. We were filling out the permit application when I told my teacher I had epilepsy but my docter had given me a note saying I was okay to drive and wether or not I needed to check a certain box for it. Now I'm a big girl and can take care of myself...plus kids don't mess with me cause sence I twitch so bad they think I'm crazy, but this is somthing I couldn't seem to stop.Today my teacher had left the room for a moment and while he was gone one of the girls(knowing I'm epileptic) went and flickered the lights off and on. I siezed very bad for the type of epilepsy I have (complex partial) to make things worse the teacher came back as soon as my seizure started to get bad.After that everyone started freaking out and my teacher was giving me a conserned look I explained to him that it was only because Mona had flickered the lights like a strobe or somthing and that I was fine.I may not be allowed to get my permit now and it depresses me deeply not to mention how enraged I was. I mean how is that fair that I can't get my permit for six months all because some girl that doesn't like me caused me to have my first siezure in eight months? I'm just so upset. Is there any thing I can do to stop them from revoking my permit application? why did the girl get away with that? Please help!
Re: bully's in Drivers ED
That was cruel, juvenile, and completely uncalled-for behavior. She should be reprimanded and the entire class given a lesson on epilepsy, so they understand what it is like to have this condition. Unfortunately, since you did have a seizure during a relatively minor flickering of the lights, maybe your epilepsy isn't as well-controlled as you and your doctor think it is.
For instance, that flickering light could be made by the sunlight coming through tree branches as you drive under them. Some tunnels are lit by banks of fluorescent lights that seem to flicker as you move in a car. If all it takes is a flickering of light to cause a seizure, you really are not safe to drive. Imagine having that seizure at 65 miles an hour in a car!
I know when you are a teen, that license is just about all you live for. I know: my 18 year old son sees that license move 6 months further away each time he has a seizure. We have been trying to control his seizures for 18 months now, and none of his medications are working well enough to last at least 6 months. We can't even go 6 weeks without a grand-mal seizure. He is angry and depressed about it, too.
Blaming the licensing bureau for their safety rules is childish. That bully may have done you a favor, by showing you that your seizures are not controlled. You don't want to die, or kill someone else, when you start driving. I do wish you the best, and hope you can control your seizures soon.
Re: bully's in Drivers ED
Hi, I don't think you realize how brave you are. I'm 19 and I'm still license free. I'm too scared to try to get one. My brother on the other hand who also has seizures has already tried to get his license and he's got his L. the girl is a demon from hell, that's all I can say. I feel your pain and I wish you the best of luck trying again.
Re: bully's in Drivers ED
sounds like the spawn of satan if you ask me. i'll be 24 in nov and i got my license a year and a half ago. it's a struggle, having epilepsy. the first time i drove i was 6. the first time i drove a car i was 12 then 13 then came the diagnosis of epilepsy and that was it. i was no long allowed to drive. this girl clearly deserves to get popped in the mouth but what if you did get your license and that light wasnt a classroom light it was a police car? i'm not sure what test your doctor did on you to prove that you were able to drive but it wasn't right because normally they hold strobe tests before to make sure you can handle them. i've hit rock bottom before so it's not like i don't understand. i was suicidal at one point in my life so i've been there. it sucks being 21 years old having your mom drop you off at college or having your younger brother take you someplace i've been there but what if a cop was pulling you over and his lights were what set you off and you went into a pole and killed yourself? you have the opportunity to fix this. i know it sucks because truly i've been there but you're lucky it was in the classroom and not behind the wheel with your mom or best friend in the passenger seat headed straight for oncoming traffic at 60pmh. i've seen stories on here where seizing and going straight into a telephone pole has happened. i was seizure free for 5yrs (not months YEARS) and my doctor said, "yea you're still not ready for your license" i was livid. it got to a point where i hated going to the doctor because he always said, "everything looks good" but it was always followed with, "you can't drive yet" i always wanted to know when i was going to drive and it was never good news so i would come home crying everytime. if you were seizure free long enough to get your permit once, it can happen again. karma sucks, she'll get hers. i know the waiting sucks trust me i've been to hell and back with mine but don't give up. she does deserve to get in trouble though. she triggered a seizure. she knew you had epilepsy, so she flickered the lights on purpose, for her NOT to get in trouble is unfair. if seizures are strong enough, they can do some SERIOUS damage. i have a friend who's cousin is in a coma because he had a seizure so bad. i didn't even know that was possible! what if you fell, hit your head on a desk, and died? playing operation with your epilepsy at her mere entertainment is morally and socially unacceptable. your guardian should go down there. what she did has affected your life in ways she can't even imagine and will never understand. she deserves to punished. to be perfectly honest, there isn't a punishment in the world that will make up for what has happened it's pretty much just left up to God on what happens as her karma but i'd still talk to someone because that's absolutely ridiculous. I'd go old school and call up her mother. inform her of the kind of person her daughter turned out to be.
Re: bully's in Drivers ED
Hello, I'm a mom of a 5 year old with absence seizures. My husband is worried about her not getting a D.L., but really the thought of a seizure happening while driving is really serious stuff. As much as not having a D.L. is upsetting, focus on all the things that you can do. I work with children, and I see some really bad cases of different disablities, and I remind myself, daily, that epilepsy is not the worst thing that could have happened to my child. I know blah, blah, but really it is true.
As for the nasty little girl, Karma will strike her. Until then, I would report her to the school. If she did this to you, what other nasty things will she do to others? This child should not get away with this type of behavior.
Stay strong, and be thankful that public transportation is geting better all the time. Peace!

Both Adelaide and the Brisbane Lions felt they had finally kicked off their 2013 AFL season at the Gabba on Saturday despite the Crows emerging 19-point victors.
As rain poured down on the 21,308-strong crowd, top four fancies Adelaide broke through for their first win of the year after a Patrick Dangerfield-inspired Crows triumphed 14.12 (96) to 10.17 (77) in an absorbing second round arm wrestle.
However, Lions coach Michael Voss was almost as upbeat as rival mentor Brenton Sanderson after Brisbane all but exorcised their first round demons.
Pre-season champions Brisbane could lay claim to flop of the opening round after crashing back to earth with a 68-point loss to wooden spoon tip Western Bulldogs last weekend.
However, the Crows would have been a close second after a controversy-plagued Essendon belted them by 35.
Sanderson joked the South Australian capital would have "gone into meltdown" if the Crows headed into next round's Showdown with Port nursing a 0-2 record.
"Fifteen days is a long time to wait to improve your performance," Sanderson said of their shock loss to the Bombers.
"You can sometimes have too many meetings or push the panic button too early.
"But our guys were keen to fight back and make a statement that last week was a one-off.
"To be eight points down at three quarter-time and find a way to win ... that was a theme of ours, run when it matters ... so it was a really good win."
But Voss believed the Lions had also saved face despite going into next round's derby clash on the Gold Coast win-less.
"In terms of effort and attitude, I think that is what we are about," he said.
"In some ways I feel like we have just got our season started.
"While we have things to work on, we should take confidence away from that.
"We have made some progress from last week which could have threatened our season because it was such a really bad performance."
The Lions - shock round 21 winners over the Crows last year - looked on track to grab consecutive victories over Adelaide for the first time since 2008-09 when they jumped to a nine-point lead early in the fourth term.
However, Adelaide banged home three consecutive majors including two straight to the influential Dangerfield (two goals, 23 touches), the latter a sensational running effort from the boundary that was green lighted on review.
The Lions never recovered.
Apart from Dangerfield, Scott Thompson had 31 touches, Nathan van Berlo and Rory Sloane both 22 and impressive debutant Brad Crouch 18 for Adelaide.
Pearce Hanley (30 touches) led the way for the hosts while Brent Moloney had 24 and Mitch Golby 19.

SHAMED British sprinter Dwain Chambers spoke to Salisbury schoolchildren and promising athletes on Tuesday about the drugsuse that blighted his career.
Chambers, who tested positive for anabolic steroids in 2003 and was stripped of his European title and given a two-year ban, spoke at A Night With Olympians 2012 at the Godolphin School.
He told the audience, including members of City of Salisbury Athletic and Running Club, that the "reckless"
choice to take the performance-enhancing substance was the "worst decision of my life".
He said: "My decision to change coaches and move to America in 2002 was where it all started.
"When I was offered a bag full of pharmaceutical products, by my new nutritionist, he assured me it would transform my life and that they were undetectable.
"I didn't want to get left behind but when I decided to start taking them, it turned out to be the worst decision of my life. When I tested positive in 2003, my whole world started to crumble and I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror."
The athlete, who was allowed to return to the track in 2006 and represented Britain at the London Olympics last year, was joined at the event by fellow Olympians, athlete Christian Malcolm and Italian equestrian Vittoria Panizzon.
With drugs use in the headlines following revelations about former Tour de France champ Lance Armstrong, youngsters had lots of questions.
Chambers told the audience it was a relief once he admitted he had cheated and advised them that "life is faced with obstacles but it's how you seek advice from others and make the right changes that matters".
The money raised from the talk will go towards the school's chosen charity, Sporting Chance International.
Organiser and PE teacher Storm Trentham said: "Dwain's story is so inspiring and I just wanted everyone else to hear it. The evening was a great success and it gave the audience a chance to meet some sporting heroes."

HOUSTON - Three family members were shot during a break-in at their northwest Harris County house.
The crime happened at a home in the 11100 block of Fairway Drive in the gated community of Heron Lakes Estates at around 8:30 p.m. Monday. According to investigators, a 47-year-old father, his 21-year-old son and a 53-year-old male family member were having a beer inside their garage when they were surrounded by three armed men.
The victims said two of the men began attacking them while the other went inside their home and tried to rob a woman who was upstairs. Deputies said when the woman told them they didn't have a safe or any cash in the house, a gunman shot the trio before fleeing the scene.
Harris County deputies said all of the thieves got away.
Neighbors said the family owns several nearby gas stations.
The son was released from the hospital on Tuesday morning and is recovering at home. His father and the other family member remained hospitalized in critical condition.
"Some people -- they tried to rob us and we got shot. That's all," said the son when he returned home.
"They target you because of the gas station owners?" KPRC Local 2 asked.
"No comment," the son said.
The victims' names were not released.

Seeking her fourth graded stakes win, Starformer, a 5-year-old,
received a comfortable trip as she raced in third, tracking Mystical
Star and Anjaz, through a half-mile
in 50.13 seconds and three-quarters in 1:13.87.
Starformer ranged up three wide in the run to the quarter pole,
promptly took the lead after Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado shook the
reins, and drove clear to win
by 1 ¾ lengths over late-running Lady of Shamrock. Favored Dream Peace
finished a head behind the runner-up after checking in the stretch.
The longest shot on the board at 15-1, Starformer returned
$33.60 for a $2 win wager and completed 1 ¼ miles on the inner turf
course in 2:00.33.
Starformer concluded her 4-year-old season by winning the Grade 3
Long Island Handicap in November at Aqueduct Racetrack and made a
successful return to the races when
she easily took the Grade 3 The Very One in February at Gulfstream
In her two most recent starts, she raced evenly when fifth in
the Grade 3 Orchid in March at Gulfstream and faded badly to finish last
of eight in the Grade 2 Sheepshead
Bay on May 25 at Belmont.
"The last time she had an excuse; the ground was very soft and I
don't think she was very happy," said Prado. "Today was firm ground,
she broke running out of there
and I was able to sit behind the leaders most of the first part of the
race. When I called on her, she fought hard and kicked in strong."
Starformer's record now stands at 6-2-3 from 17 starts, with the $120,000 winner's share of the
New York purse pushing her earnings to $535,626.
"She had a beautiful work last weekend and she certainly fits
with these horses," said Leana Willaford, assistant to Hall of Fame
trainer Bill Mott. "Edgar rode her
perfect; he always does. He knows her well and he's a very smart
Starformer is owned by Juddmonte Farms, who bred the bay mare in
Kentucky. She is by Dynaformer and out of Etoile Montante, who won a Group 1 in France and a pair of graded stakes in the
United States for Juddmonte.
Minakshi finished a neck behind Dream Peace in fourth, and it
was another neck back to Mystical Star and a nose back to Regalo Mia.

of finish.

Sony more than doubles net loss forecast for March to US$6.4 bil.
TOKYO -- Japan's Sony on Tuesday said it would book a net loss of about US$6.4 billion in the year to March, more than double its previous forecast amid sweeping changes at the struggling electronics giant.
The company said it would lose 520 billion yen (US$6.4 billion) after earlier saying it would see a shortfall of about 220 billion yen, its fourth consecutive year in the red.
Sony's earlier net loss forecast was itself more than twice as much as the 90 billion yen loss it had predicted it would lose before upping the figure in February.
The company said the latest increase in its loss forecast was mainly due to a tax charge tied to its assets in the United States, but it did not elaborate.
"In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, we will book an additional tax cost of about 300 billion yen ... for a deferred income tax asset in the United States," Sony said in a statement.
Sony kept its sales forecast and operating loss outlook unchanged at 6.4 trillion yen and 95 billion yen respectively.
The announcement came just days before Sony's new chief executive is expected to outline some of the changes seen as necessary to turn around the iconic firm.
Earlier this year, Sony shed its Welsh-born U.S. Chief Executive Howard Stringer who was replaced by his protege Kazuo Hirai as the firm faced continuing losses at its struggling television unit.
On Monday, a report in the leading Nikkei business daily said Sony would chop 10,000 jobs worldwide (about 6 percent of its workforce) this year as it attempts to carry out sweeping reforms.
About half the planned job cuts are part of a restructuring of Sony's chemical unit as well as operations tied to its small- and medium-sized liquid crystal display panels, the Nikkei said.
The company's top seven executives, including its outgoing chief, would also give up their annual bonus, it said.
Sony declined to comment on the report, which did not give further details of the reductions from Sony's headcount which stood at about 168,000 employees as of March last year.

Just when I am convinced the weather is warming up, it gets COLD and WINDY again. So, last night I made some Hearty Fiesta Bean Soup to use up the rest of my beans I made the other day. This cornbread is nice and sweet and is wonderful with the spicy beans. I made part of the batter in my super mini-loaf pan(from Wal-Mart) and part in a glass baking dish. My 3 year old has a MAJOR fit when he is trying to eat his piece of cornbread with a fork and it is falling apart, so the mini loaves are good for him to pick up with his fingers and take a BIG bite:)

MICHAEL Crisp is hoping that he will be able to gain more ice time this term after agreeing to return to Swindon Wildcats.
The Welsh netminder provided invaluable back-up to Stevie Lyle during the last term making six appearances and recorded a save percentage of .911.
With veteran netminder Lyle considering retirement at the end of the upcoming campaign this could be a big year for the 23-year-old.
However, Crisp is just staying focused on the immediate future and not the prospect of filling the shoes of a Wildcat legend.
"I just want to push my development on this year and build on last season," Crisp told the Advertiser.
"Next year is not at front of mind, if at the end of the day I personally I need more time to develop then that is what I'll do."
Having made six appearances for Wildcats last season, Crisp admitted that he was surprised to have had as much game time as he did.
"The teams that I played against were top teams and I gained a lot of confidence from that," he said.
"For me, I expected to play against the sides at the lower end of the table.
"Having had that experience is the reason why I am coming back. I'd like to try and get more ice time and I think Aldy (head coach Ryan Aldridge) will give me the opportunity to as well."
Crisp, who averaged 2.91 goals against last season, says that former Great Britain ace Lyle has helped him with his approach to the game.
"Stevie has given me a few tips, but the main thing I take from him is how relaxed he is - nothing fazes him.
"You just look at how calm he is around the locker room and he has helped me become more relaxed as at times I can get worked up a bit."
The former Cardiff youngster is relishing the new campaign in the EPL and has already begun training ahead of pre-season at the Link Centre.
"I started my off ice training programme some time ago back at the gym and I've been hitting the ice as often as possible recently, so things on the training front really are going to plan," he said.
Having played a small role in helping Cats reach the play-off finals weekend, Crisp is hoping that the team will be able to go one better this term.
"I think that we can build from last season," he said. "We had that great run of seven on the bounce in the lead up to the play-offs and hopefully we can go at least one further this time.
"I know that is going to be a big challenge as the league has definitely got even better over the summer months with some big signings being made.
"But Aldy has also strengthened the squad, so we can certainly challenge the other clubs."

ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners have hailed the first meeting of a newly-formed Burnley Wood action group a success.
Burnley's Environmental Action Group was formed after residents were plagued by flies and rats, which they claim are attracted by recycling at Oxford Mill Waste Transfer Station, in Oxford Road.
Sheree Welsby, co-founder of the group, said the meeting went 'really well', but added that she felt 'let down' that none of the area's ward councillors were in attendance. The Lancashire Telegraph reported in May how people living in Kay Gardens and Branch Road described the site as 'not-fit-for-purpose' after domestic waste started being bumped there.
Now the organisation has vowed to do everything it can to force the Environment Agency, Burnley Council, and Lancashire County Council to take action.
The permit to carry out waste operations at the site currently belongs to Hapton Trading Ltd, although it was believed the firm would stop working with household waste after discussions with Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle.
But Miss Welsby, 43, said the problem continued to cause havoc for families in the area and she was unconvinced that workers at the mill had taken any action to solve the issue.
She said: "It went really well with about 25 people from all over Burnley Wood there. We are planning to get in touch with the Environment Agency and we will keep pestering them until the problem goes away.
"We've asked people to monitor what goes in and out of the building. We have still got the flies because they have not done anything to clean the place up, they've just closed the shutters so we can't see it.
"County Coun Margaret Brindle was there but it was disappointing that none of the ward councillors were there."
Coun Jeff Sumner said he had a prior engagement while fellow ward councillor Tracy Kennedy was working in Manchester.
Coun Sumner added that he would be happy to meet with the group in the future.
Frank Owen, a director at Hapton Trading Ltd, said: "There's no smell and no pollution. Everything we do is within the planning rules and the permit we have. I met a group last month and said there would be no more bin waste and there isn't – even though we're licensed for that.
"They're just trying to cause problems."

As the reality of the medical device tax draws fretfully near, industry supporters and medical device manufacturers are ramping up efforts to raise awareness of the damage it could cause while continuing to seek repeal. But will this combination of rallying behind repeal and painting a doomsday scenario under the tax ultimately pay off for the medtech industry?
Medical device manufacturers are certainly hoping so. Obviously opposed to the burdensome 2.3% excise tax slated to go into effect in 2013, medical device OEMs are becoming increasingly vocal about the negative impact that the tax will likely have on jobs and innovation as the dreaded date draws near. Adding fuel to the anti-tax fire this past week was industry giant Medtronic, which announced that it expected that the tax would cost the company somewhere in the range of $125 million and $175 million annually.
"We've looked at this as basically one of the costs we're going to have to cover as we put together our plans for fiscal year 2013 and as we put together our initiatives on a long-term basis," Medtronic CFO Gary Ellis said in a conference call with investors. "We're going to have to make the tradeoffs, and there's probably going to be things that we can't do as a result of that. It means we won't have as much to invest going forward."
Most medical device companies, like Medtronic, are exploring how these cumbersome costs can be passed on to hospitals and customers or consumers. Some manufacturers, however, are launching what they view as a preemptive strike to survive the tax. Unfortunately, these efforts appear to be in the form of layoffs, further bolstering accusations by critics that the tax is a job killer.
Stryker, for example, announced late last year that it would be reducing 5% of its global workforce in anticipation of the tax, which it estimates would raise the company's tax burden by $150 million. The company anticipates that this decision would result in about $100 million in operating costs savings by 2013. "The targeted reductions and other restructuring activities are being initiated to provide efficiencies and realign resources in advance of the new Medical Device Excise Tax scheduled to begin in 2013, as well as to allow for continued investment in strategic areas and drive growth despite the ongoing challenging economic environment and market slowdown in elective procedures," according to a press release distributed by the company.
And Stryker's not the only company contemplating reducing headcount to compensate for the tax. Industry group AdvaMed predicts that 43,000 American medtech workers may lose their jobs if the tax goes into effect. On the flipside, global consulting company Emergo Group released a survey earlier this month that revealed that less than 17% of CEO, president, and managing director respondents said that they would cut jobs to absorb increased costs. So, it may not be all doom and gloom.
The medical device tax isn't just the topic of conversation among medical device manufacturers, however. It's also causing quite a stir up on Capitol Hill. Minnesota Representative Erik Paulsen, cochair of the House Medical Technology Caucus and ardent medtech industry supporter, continues to lead the charge against the tax in Washington. In a recent interview with MassDevice, for example, Paulsen predicted that the repeal effort would likely be put to a vote in the House of Representatives later this year and should have enough support to pass.
"As some of my colleagues have become more aware of what the consequences are, they've been paying more attention and just literally slowly signed on one after another after another almost every week for the last 6 months," Paulsen told MassDevice. "I actually expect that this is going to move forward in the House sometime this year, hopefully sooner than later. That's a question that's up to leadership."
Although it currently lacks support from most House Democrats, Paulsen's tax repeal bill currently boasts 228 cosponsors. However, approximately 25 out of the 66 members of the Medical Technology Caucus—again, mostly Democrats—still have yet to back the bill.
"There are some Democratic members who have not signed on to the repeal bill because they're a little nervous about acknowledging that the healthcare law they may have voted for isn't perfect," Paulsen commented to MassDevice. "They're more inclined to vote for it if they get the opportunity to vote on the floor, rather than sign their name on it and deal with a sort of push-back among some of their own base." –Shana Leonard

Great Britain's women's curling coach Rhona Howie praised her girls for grabbing Winter Olympic bronze in Sochi on Thursday, then urged the GB men to really make it a Games to remember.
Skip Eve Muirhead's team battled back from the devastation of losing their semi-final to Canada on Wednesday to beat Switzerland and secure the medal that equals GB's best-ever Winter Olympic medal haul of 1924 - four - with David Murdoch's team playing their Canadian counterparts in the final at the Ice Cube Curling Center on Friday.
The 6-5 win over the Swiss was the British women curlers' first Olympic medal since Howie - then Rhona Martin - skipped GB to gold at Salt Lake City in 2002.
"To win a bronze medal is a great achievement," she said.
"They showed character, they played great and it was a well-deserved medal.
"We were all devastated on Wednesday and you have to take time to grieve a loss like that.
"You can't just say 'bin it' and move on. We had to de-brief properly and look at the not-so-nice bits and they came out fighting, showing their character, and it was great to see."
Attention now turns to Murdoch's rink, when they take on Canada in Friday's final looking to win the first medal for GB men in the event since 1924.
The Britons had to beat Norway in a tie-break to get through to the semi-finals, where they beat Sweden with the final shot of the match.
When Howie was asked about what advice she would give to Lockerbie-born Murdoch, she said: "Just to go out and play his game and control what he can control.
"He can't control what the Canadians do, or the crowd, or anybody else. He has to play his game."
Howie, mindful that her rink had to win two tie-breaks in 2002 on their way to gold, laughed when highlighting the similarities between her journey to victory and Murdoch's trail to the last four.
She said: "He came through the play-off and he is playing on the 21st February, which was the day I won. So it is a no-pressure day.
"He is a very relaxed guy. He is great at calling the game and he keeps the rest of his team calm.
"I think they will go out today and do exactly what they have done in every other game, they will keep fighting to the bitter end."

Hey guys! Before I shall do more editing of chapters, shouldn't chapters written in past tense rather than in present tense? It's stated on the policy that articles should be written in past tense but why all chapters were in present tense? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 08:50, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Before we have another epidemic on our hands I believe this should be sorted. As far as I know policy says write character articles in past tense. This however has been overlooked somewhat in the past and written in present tense and then rewritten in past tense. I believe that to be counter-productive and a bit of a hassle so they should be written in past tense. Chapter/episode summaries, however, have always been written in present continuous tense which I also see no issue with since it's just a summary.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:37, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
I see. But it's sometimes weird to be in present tense, though. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 12:52, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Which is why I assume they've always written the summaries in present tense. Getting more structure on this would be best though so editors know how to proceed.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:56, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
- I see, but it's not really that bad writing in present, by the way. Anyone who have suggestions? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 13:05, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Character articles are best written in past tense given that situations will end up being in the past. Episode/manga summaries are different to me, present tense isn't a problem there. But that's just my opinion outside of the rules.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:33, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't really see a problem about the characters. It looks perfectly with the past tense. [You didn't see my message or you're unwilling to answer it. :D] —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 13:36, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
I think that the existing chapters should be kept as they are and we should take care that the new chapters are written in past --S@lil (T@lk) 14:49, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh gosh it's my edit. People didn't revert it LOL. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 04:30, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
So whats the decision? —¤S@lil ¤ (T@lk) 03:53, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Bumpinezzy! :D —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 12:12, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- It's odd to have it split when both are supposed to be summaries. I have no problem with both being present tense or past tense. /shrug very wishy washy of me but really these could go either way.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:22, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
The way I understand it (don't know if I'm right), past tense is used in character articles because it shows their entire history, and chapter articles are like "as it happens". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:50, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
And chapter summaries? Some are written in past and some in present. ¤S@lil ¤ (T@lk)☺ 08:05, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Chapter summaries and chapter articles are the same thing. The same goes for episode guides.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:05, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
Not getting it, Omnibender. What does that mean. Use present tense? ¤S@lil ¤ (T@lk)☺ 10:15, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Omnibender is saying that characters should be in past tense because it's a collection of things they do. If we did them in present tense we will have to change them to past tense every week/two weeks so we should keep them in past. Chapter articles and chapter summaries should be in present tense though. Joshbl56 12:36, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
- LOL we can't really make the character article into present tense. —IndxcvNovelist (talk|contribs) 19:02, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
Why? We can make, as we did here ¤S@lil ¤ (T@lk)☺ 05:07, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

"Forming a Battle Plan" by Brian Barney, EBJ 71, is an exemplary piece of journalism and a breathe of fresh air for EBJ. The article is well thought out, free of glaring gramatical errors, and pertinant to green and veteran bowhunters alike. I hope to see more of this type of work come from EBJ in the future. Excellent pictures as well!
Nice work Brian!

A MOTORCYCLIST suffered a serious injury after losing control of his bike and crashing near Clacton.
The rider fell from his blue Suzuki bike on the A133 just before 7am on Monday, seriously injuring his arm.
Paramedics arrived and treated the injured biker at the scene before taking him to Colchester General Hospital. He is in a stable condition.
The A133 was closed between London Road, in Clacton, at St John's roundabout and the B1442 at the junction of Progress Way and St Osyth Road while the scene was cleared.
It was closed for more than an hour while oil was cleared from the road.

Newfoundland is not only scenically stunning, but it's also a place full of natural wonders. Here within, some notable natural landscapes you can explore when visiting our beautiful province.

Newfoundlandlers and Labradorians have a long history with the sea. It goes back centuries. From Beothuk hunting expeditions in birch bark canoes, to explorers seeking a new world away from the shores of Europe, to cowboys — yes, I said cowboys.

Making cod tongues in the RV while thinking about this famous Newfoundland fish.

There are so many things to enjoy when I go back home to Newfoundland. From spending time with family and friends to hiking along the rugged coast, and taking in live music in St. John's. One of the things I look most forward to is getting out in a boat to catch a few cod.

Makenna and Charles are a couple of nomadic vampires. They first appear in Breaking Dawn when they are brought by the Volturi to witness against the Cullens.
Makenna is the descendant of a Maltese family with a unique link to vampirism. In every century or two, a few members in her family line would be chosen by her ancestor, Luca, to become vampires to protect and provide for the family: Makenna was one of the chosen ones. She looked forward to her destiny until she met Charles in Barcelona in the 1940s.
Charles was born in the early 20th century of Denmark. In his early twenties, he moved to Barcelona to study law. There, he met and fell in love with a Maltese woman named Makenna.
Makenna and Charles met when he was a law student in Barcelona and fell in love. Makenna's ancestor, Luca, told her that she could abandon her destiny of becoming a vampire if she wanted a normal life with Charles. However, she still chose immortality. Before she left, she promised Charles that she will return, and Charles promised to wait for her. After her transformation, Makenna waited for her newborn year to pass while Charles waited for her return.
After she left her newborn state behind, she found Charles again, who was still waiting for her, and told him everything about being a vampire, including the cons and pros. Charles subsequently made the decision to become a vampire to be with her forever. They waited 3 years for Makenna to practice her self-control to avoid killing him by accident.
After he was successfully changed and realized his power of lie detection, they lived a nomadic lifestyle together, but Makenna still visited her family often.
Breaking DawnEdit
- "We did not come here for a fight. We came here to witness. And our witness is that this condemned family is innocent."
- ―Makenna's witness.[src]
In late 2006, Makenna and Charles are both invited by Renata, Makenna's distant relative, to join the Volturi's cause of bringing 'justice' to the Cullen family for allegedly creating an immortal child. Because the Volturi truly believe Renesmee is an immortal child at the time, Charles senses no dishonesty and agrees to join them and Makenna complies as well.
They then follow the coven to Forks where a confrontation takes place; everyone learns that the supposed immortal child is in fact a vampire-human hybrid, and that the whole situation has been a misunderstanding.
The two mostly remain in the background as the confrontation progresses. When Garrett tells the Volturi's witnesses to pick their own sides as the Volturi will surely kill them all to keep the truth from being spread, Charles finally senses the deceitful words coming from Aro. He 'confirms' that the Cullens are innocent, and takes his leave with Makenna. Other vampries begin to take their leave as well.

Angels walk off on Kendrick's second homer
ANAHEIM -- As Tuesday night rolled on, and the importance of squeaking out a win against these streaking Rangers seemingly increased, the heroic efforts began to pile up for the Angels, from Jason Vargas' resurgence to Scott Downs' perseverance to Mike Trout's defense to Dane De La Rosa's important relief innings.
And then, at the very end, there was Howie Kendrick, jumping into a dog pile at home plate, moments after his walk-off homer gave his team a hard-fought 5-4 victory at Angel Stadium.
"It's a great feeling," Kendrick said, "knowing you can leave the other team on the field."
Kendrick's second homer of the night, on a 1-1 fastball from Rangers lefty Joe Ortiz, sailed just over the center-field fence, in almost the same place where he hit one seven innings earlier off Alexi Ogando. It gave the Angels four wins in five games, snapped the Rangers' four-game winning streak and came two days after Mark Trumbo did the same against the Tigers.
"I think just the fact that we're getting wins is the biggest thing," Kendrick said after driving in four runs and notching his second career walk-off homer. "Last year, we started off real slow. This year, we started kind of slow, but it's good to see everybody swinging the bat well. It's been a different guy every other night, and that's what we need. It lets you know that every guy is kind of locked in and we're playing well as a team. These are the type of victories we need."
If not for Trout's defense two innings earlier, there may not have been a victory to enjoy.
Tied up in the top of the ninth, with Ian Kinsler on third, Ernesto Frieri on the mound and two outs, Adrian Beltre lined a ball into the left-field corner that looked primed for a tiebreaking RBI double. But Trout raced to his right and made a leaping catch on the warning track, nearly sliding headfirst into the wall, the latest in a litany of highlights in the 21-year-old's burgeoning career.
"Once it was hit, it was hooking away from me a little bit, and the only chance I thought I had was to dive a little bit and brace myself from hitting that wall," Trout said. "Once I caught it, that was the next thing on my mind was hitting that wall."
Trout did his best not to grin, but he couldn't contain himself as he jogged back to the third-base dugout amid a standing ovation.
Beltre, robbed of another extra-base hit by center fielder Peter Bourjos in the first inning, was stunned.
"I saw it," Beltre said. "I couldn't believe it, but I saw it. When I hit the ball, I saw where he was playing and I saw the ball hooking. I thought he had no chance to get to that. I was wrong. It's not fair. It's not fair for them to have three center fielders playing the outfield here."
Also not fair: The Angels' current bullpen situation.
They've called up five new arms from the Minor Leagues in the last two weeks, and for Tuesday's game, only two members of their Opening Day bullpen -- Downs and Frieri -- were available. And they were all spent.
Making his third straight appearance and coming off throwing 1 2/3 innings on Monday, Downs navigated through sloppy defense while nursing a one-run lead in the eighth. Shortstop Andrew Romine saw Nelson Cruz's grounder roll between his legs and first baseman Trumbo mistakenly threw home after fielding a grounder, allowing Beltre to retreat to third and loaded the bases with none out.
Downs induced a double play to David Murphy, tying the game, and struck out Mitch Moreland to end the threat. Frieri, also appearing in his third straight game, then kept them scoreless in the ninth with Trout's help. And De La Rosa, making his third appearance in the last four games, threw two scoreless innings.
None of them figure to be available in Wednesday's series finale, when Yu Darvish starts for the Rangers and the Angels counter with what Mike Scioscia called a "staff day," starting with rookie Michael Roth.
For a reeling bullpen, it's all hands on deck.
"Tonight it was," Scioscia said, "and tomorrow it might be, too."
Vargas came in with a 6.75 ERA, giving up a combined 34 hits and walks in 14 2/3 innings to start the season and posting a 2.32 WHIP. But the 30-year-old left-hander skated out of trouble, giving up only a sixth-inning three-run homer to Cruz and completing seven innings despite giving up seven hits and three walks.
Vargas' start spared the bullpen some work, and it was one of several components that helped the Angels capture an important win.
"It's something we needed, especially against this ballclub," Vargas said. "It sets a tone going forward. We need to have that presence and feeling of putting it away."

HOUSTON - Three deputies were fired from the Harris County Sheriff's Office for improper conduct that involved consensual sex, according to officials.
A sheriff's spokesman said Monday that Robert Johnson, Michael Medina and Adam Wright were terminated from District 3. The spokesman said all of them were fired for improper conduct that involved consensual sex in the deputies' patrol cars.
The Office confirmed that the woman involved with the three deputies is with the Citizens Police Academy, a group separate from the sheriff's office. A source told KPRC Local 2 that the woman, who is married, had consensual sex with the deputies while they were on duty.
The source said the woman is married to a volunteer with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office said, "the three deputies were asked to submit to counseling when it was believed they were involved in an extra-marital affair outside of work. But when it was learned that the activities took place during work hours, they were fired."
The department issued the following statement.
"The Harris County Sheriff's Office holds all of its employees to the highest of standards, as should the citizens. Employees are expected to act in a professional and responsible manner at all times. Any employee whose conduct discredits and dishonors the Sheriff's Office and the uniform he/she wears will be disciplined accordingly. Improper conduct of any kind will not be tolerated."
District 3 covers the northeast side of Harris County.

on reddit today...
That's beautiful Rudy, one the image, and two that you go on reddit :D.
actually, i just skim the best of reddit on http://popurls.com/
Does anything work in Internet Explorer? lol
Needlessly KIND to HTML 5.
Sure, but define "work"
A lot of things "work" in IE, but is just buggy.
Thermite works very well for Internet Explorer...
if your web page doesn't work in IE, ur doing it wrong
Thermite always does the trick. Otherwise, C4.
Then it would really live up to the nickname Internet Exploder, wouldn't it?
Well, it depends on your motive.
The message in that graphic doesn't seem to bear too much questioning. I mean, what browser does support HTML5? (None that I know of.) So is the implication that CSS is also involved here? If so, then plenty of non-HTML5 sites don't work in IE.
But maybe I'm thinking too much. (I certainly have a lean and hungry look ...)
fair comment
it was not in regard to html5 per se, more in response to post #4
my assumption is that most people will want to make sure that a substantial portion of their web site's visitors are not shafted by b0rken pages
so you make it work in IE, full stop
[semi-offtopic] my original post, with the picture, was actually added to an older thread, but a moderator split it off into this (new) thread... and i did not assign this thread's title... so i'm wondering if another kind moderator would please fix the spelling error, as it appears that i did it, and i'm pretty careful about spelling errors
Ah, I see. (And my comment was just being cheeky, anyway. What you say is quite right, of course. )
so I'm wondering if another kind moderator would please fix the spelling error
Done! (Well, fixed some punctuation, anyhow. I'm not very good at spelling, but I don't think I've missed anything there.)[/ot]
ralph, you are a gentleman, thanks
It was a joke, but ok.
I was playing along, but ok
Sorry it's hard to tell in an online forum.
You knowing that, and yet you still assumed there wasn't a possibility of it being a joke as well .
Lol I don't know, some of you guys seem so serious. I also realized we are starting to take over this thread.
That image made my day. IE humor, it's just never ending.

Shomari Patterson always knew she wanted her jewelry-making business to incorporate an element of social responsibility. Many worthy causes called to her, but the one that commanded her immediate attention was the plight of victims of human trafficking. Currently, she makes a donation for each piece of jewelry sold to a program that rehabilitates and empowers girls rescued from the sex trade, with "jewelry compassion kits".
Surprisingly, several of Shomari's most loyal customers are men, who buy her double necklaces and bracelets as gifts for wives, girlfriends and friends. Still, most of her purchasers are female, and Shomari plans to hire women from local shelters to help with production and marketing as her business grows. She is counting on viral marketing, networking and jewelry shows to help her reach her goal of placing her products in local boutiques by the end of the year.
Having placed 2nd in the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's (NFTE) National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in October, Shomari plans to use her $5,000 prize to continue her education by attending college and majoring in business, and ultimately hopes to take Shamazzle's Dazzles global and continue to partner with a non-profit business, or perhaps start her own.
With this win, Shomari's vision has now come full circle. But as much as Shamazzle's Dazzles has helped others, nobody has benefited more than Shomari herself. In addition to her supportive family, Shomari credits her NFTE teacher, Kara Brown, for bringing her out of her shell, teaching her to focus on the present, and developing her public speaking skills. But above all, Shomari has gained confidence.
"Before NFTE, I had lost all hope in myself and my future. I was unsure about what I wanted to do in life. I also didn't think that college was for me," says Shomari. "Now I'm a completely different person. I have hope again, I'm able to set a goal and go through with it, I'm more optimistic, and lastly I'm a lot happier. I can honestly say that NFTE has changed my life for the better."
"You have to be daring and willing to take risks, because sometimes the risks you take will be the best choices you have made for your business."
