The PTA Needs YOU!!!
WE NEED YOUR HELP! The PTA is seeking additional members to help this year and beyond. They currently have 2 openings on the PTA board and several open positions that oversee committees. The PTA and DDMS has a long-standing tradition of supporting each other and the teaching/learning that happens in the building. We wouldn't be one of the top middle schools in the state of North Carolina without the support of the PTA. If you are interested and willing to support the PTA, please contact Mr. Williams (email@example.com). Please also consider volunteering this upcoming school year for school and PTA events.
Please help us welcome back our students at Panther Pride Orientation on Wednesday, August 23rd. Please sign up by clicking the link below.

Locks and Lockers
This upcoming school year students will have the option of having a locker or carrying their materials to class. We are making a conscious effort to help reduce anxieties/frustrations related to lockers or being tardy to class. Additionally, many students don't even use lockers in high school! Students interested in having a locker will be assigned one during the first week of school. Locks should be purchased from the school during Panther Pride Camp. We are excited about this student choice in our building!
Student agendas will be on sale for $5 during Panther Pride Camp by the PTA. Students are required to have an agenda in order to stay organized, track SMART Block attendance, and to monitor minor infractions. Additionally, important student information and expectations are found in the agenda.
PE/Fitness Uniform Update
It is mandatory that students wear a GRAY shirt and NAVY BLUE athletic shorts/pants each day for PE and Fitness. While these outfits don't have to be Davis Drive Middle specific apparel, we do have various options for you to purchase uniforms. Please see the options below:

New Messenger System
This week we begin the new school communication system. You will now be receiving Mr. Williams' weekly parent message through email and/or text message. He will only be utilizing a voicemail message in emergency or critical situation. If you are having any problems accessing these email/texts messages, please let the front office know. All messages are also posted on our school website under the "Principal's Message" icon in the middle of the page. Important messages that may need immediate attention will also be posted on the website under "Panther News." Thank you for your patience as we transition to this new communication format.
Please remember to follow carpool procedures and guidelines to ensure smooth morning drop-offs:
1) Please remember that students should not be picked-up or dropped-off on Davis Drive road. Officer Cherry and I have had recent conversations with parents and students about this legal violation. This is a major safety concern. Additionally, do not pick-up or drop-off on the side of the building (unless you have a medical concern and have clearance from Mr. Williams). All parents should be using the carpool loop.
2) In the mornings, please be sure you are turning right on Davis Drive road toward Park Village. Many parents are attempting to left through commute traffic and are significantly delaying our morning carpool procedures. The morning right turn is extremely important to ensure we have an efficient morning carpool and students are in class on-time.
Thanks so much for your attention with this!
Thank you so much for your ongoing support of the Backpack Buddies Program. We are specifically in need of
If you would like to give, please drop these items off in the bins in front of the Front Office.

For the past few months, I have seen a lot of doomsayers claiming that Nintendo will have to close or at least stop production on hardware. I'm not sure where all this negativity is coming from, but I personally find it hilarious. Firstly, Nintendo has completely dominated the handheld market since the Gameboy released in 1989. They have went up against Sega, Sony, Atari and many other companies; all of which have failed to take the market from Nintendo. Secondly, the 3DS isn't even a failure yet. Right now Nintendo is only competing with themselves in the handheld market. People are still buying the DS and are slow to adopt the 3DS. Maybe when the PS Vita comes out later this year Nintendo will have some competition, but as it stands right now it's a two horse race and both horses are owned by the same person.
Something else that is really blowing my mind is that some people are stating that the Wii was a failure. From an economic stand point, the Wii might be the most successful system of all time. From day one Nintendo has been selling the Wii for a profit. While Microsoft and Sony took a loss for every system they sold at launch, Nintendo was putting money back into their pocket. Now combine that with the fact that the system sold so well, that has to be a huge sum of money. Sure the Wii might not be a critical darling, but it made Nintendo plenty of money.
Lets compare this recent history with what happened with Sega back when they were in the hardware game. The last truly successful system Sega had was the Genesis. After the Genesis, Sega released the Game Gear, the Sega CD, the 32x, the Saturn and then lastly the Dreamcast. That's ten years, two standalone systems, one handheld (two if you count the Nomad) and two systems add-ons without having a truly successful system launch. That is a level of failure that Nintendo has yet to achieve.
Just remember that these people that are trying to talk you into thinking Nintendo is dying are the same people that have said PC gaming is dying for a decade or two. Nintendo has a couple free passes left before they're going anywhere.

"What's it like living in a Frank Lloyd Wright?" That's the question I am asked by a docent during a Wright tour of my suburban Chicago town.
The second stop on his guided tour is my house, and now 25 tourists look at me expectantly for an answer.
I blink. Having just moved in a few months ago, I don't know what to say. No one ever asked me what it was like living in a two-bedroom apartment or a 1940s Cape Cod. But now that I live in a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright, I'm supposed to have a simple answer to describe my residential experience. Except, well, I don't. Because my relationship with my house is complicated.
It started simply enough. My husband and I bought a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the same way we purchased that 1940s Cape Cod. We saw it, fell in love with it, waited three years until the price had fallen enough to land within our price range, and bid on it. (No one else wanted the house, you see, because it had been perfectly restored to its original late 19th-century blueprint – which meant it had 2 600 square feet of living space but only one bathroom.)
Once our bid had been accepted, I pictured lounging in my future bedroom, with its band of leaded art-glass windows and gas fireplace. I imagined reading on the built-in bench in the foyer under the antique light fixture. I even dreamed of the doorknobs.
First, of course, there were the ordinary home-buying steps: loan applications, the inspection, Realtor phone calls, lawyers. Everything felt standard and part of the process.
Until I moved in and realized there was no user manual for how to live in a national treasure with a toddler.
"Ah! Don't touch the wall!" I told my daughter.
That worked well – for approximately 10 seconds. Then my daughter clomped down the stairs, running her hands along the wall to steady herself. I cringed. The paint she had her sticky hands on was the result of a decade-long series of analyses supplemented by original blueprint investigations and photographs to discover its exact original color.
The house was so unfortunately perfect, it had recently won a Wright Spirit Award for its restoration. The roof's cedar shingles were hand-cut to replicate the size of the original shingles, and ridge caps were not used so as to perfectly reproduce the original roofline. All ceiling light fixtures were antiques. And the house displayed one of the earliest examples of Wright-designed furniture. It was museum living at its finest, and my imagination loved the concept. But my actual state of mind, rooted in the reality of toddler life, did not.
Play dates were the worst. More than one toddler wiping her runny nose on the cushions of one of Wright's first built-in pieces of furniture? More than one toddler reaching for an antique light fixture? More than one toddler pulling a toy train across the scratch-free, shellac-finished, quarter-sawn oak floors?
During these play dates, the history of the house screamed in my mind, telling me I was a horrible owner. During these play dates, a little voice told me I never should have bought the place, that my family was ruining it. During these play dates, living in a perfectly restored Frank Lloyd Wright house wasn't something I wanted to answer a question about, unless that question was why the heck had I ever been crazy enough to think I could live here sanely.
One day, even I contributed to the house's continued demise when I dropped a wall mirror down the staircase. As it shattered and dented the perfectly finished oak, I wanted to scream at myself, but my daughter did that for me.
"Mommy! Look what you did!" My daughter wagged her finger at me accusingly. And in my mind, Wright did, too. After all, he used to visit the house on Sundays to hang out with the former roommate for whom he built it. What would he think if he came over and found gashes in his quarter-sawn oak? Not to mention: What would he think of the Ikea toddler bed under the six leaded art-glass windows in the front bedroom?
But a few months later, I took a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Ill., and noticed cat footprints memorialized in the concrete. Imperfection! The relief this brought to me cannot be put into words. I showed the footprints to the guide.
She replied, "This concrete will be restored over the next two years."
My chest deflated like a balloon with enough air to power the Windy City. Figures, I thought.
But then the guide added, "They're preserving the cat footprints, though. They are a part of the history of the building."
I laughed. "Really?"
She nodded. I was thrilled. Because that dent in the staircase? That scratch I made on the soapstone counter the other day? Those nicks in the wall from my daughter's determination to vacuum? They are part of the history of our house, and I am going to embrace them.
Thanks to a cat and some wet concrete, I've realized that the history of my house and the history of my family – faults and all – are now one. While I still respect the house, I no longer fear it; I live in it.
People still ask me, "What it's like to live in a Frank Lloyd Wright house?" And I still don't know how to answer. Because to me, it's no longer a Frank Lloyd Wright house. It's our home.

MLS Franchise Notes: Sporting KC Could See Players Leave Due To World Cup Play
Published June 24, 2014
READY TO GET THINGS STARTED: In Orlando, Paul Tenorio reported Orlando City SC has "sold more than 5,000 season tickets for its inaugural MLS campaign in the eight days since making packages available." The news that the club is "poised to sign" Brazilian MF Kaka as its first designated player "adds to the momentum that started when Orlando City unveiled its new logo in May and renderings" for its new $115M stadium on June 10. Two days after that, the World Cup kicked off and '15 season tickets went on sale. Orlando City plans to "cap season ticket sales at around 14,000." It already has reached 35% of that number "in a little more than a week" (ORLANDOSENTINEL.com, 6/20).
REVOLUTIONARY WAR: In Boston, Thomas Grillo noted Boston Mayor Martin Walsh said that he will "consider a soccer stadium to house" the Revolution. Walsh: "It's something I'd be interested in. It's worth looking at. I'm open to a lot of ideas. ... It's something I wouldn't turn down. There will have to be a lot of discussions about the location. I don't know where it would go. We will have to see." The Revolution play at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, but the Kraft family, which owns the team, has "been searching for a smaller setting with better access to public transportation." Meanwhile, Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo and Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone both confirmed this month that they "haven't talked to the Krafts in roughly a year" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 6/23).
IN MEMORY: In Portland, Casey Parks noted the Timbers have "created a jersey" for 14-year-old Emilio Hoffman, who died June 10 "after a 15-year-old freshman shot him" in a local high school locker room. The green uniform, unveiled Sunday, "bore his last name and '29' -- the number he wore for the club team Crystal" (OREGONLIVE.com, 6/22).

Hello there,
Since quite long I was planning to start a blog site of my own in order to document and share all the code experiments I do or to share the hobby projects which I develop just for fun. I tried my hand earlier also by writing a few articles on codeproject but then was not able to continue them.
Finally I decided to go for a fresh start from today, lets hope that I continue posting regularly :).
Stay tuned for more updates.

A Theory of Capital Rationing
This paper revisits some of the issues originally put forward by the author as the theory of capital market inflation, in the book The End of Finance (Toporowski 2000). The paper makes much clearer the key assumptions and relationships between the operations of the capital market dominated by institutional investors, and the balance sheets of companies. In this way, it presents a theory of how macroeconomic dynamics may be affected by disequilibrium in the capital market.

missmom12 Review
Just go this yesterday
The order was shipped fast and was easy to put together. There were a few scratches so I couldn't give it a 5. They were minor blemishes but I expect things to be 100% when purchased new. Everything went together easy and took less than an hour to assemble by myself. I won't be using it for a few more months, but it seems very sturdy and is nice!

In college, English meant humiliation to me. When I was assigned to major in the language in 1977 at Heilongjiang University, I knew only dozens of English words and was put in the lowest class, where I stayed four years. We were the first group of undergraduates admitted through the entrance exams after the Cultural Revolution, after colleges had been closed for a decade. There was no hope for a late starter like me to catch up with the students in the faster English classes, so I kind of gave up and avoided
working hard on my English. But in 1980, writers such as Hemingway, Faulkner, Bellow and Malamud suddenly became immensely popular in China after American literature had mostly been banned for three decades. I was fascinated by their fiction: Their literary subject matter was not confined to politics and social movements, as it was in China, and the techniques they used -- such as stream of consciousness and multiple narrative points of view -- were unheard of to me. I made up my mind to study American literature after college. For that, I would have to pass an advanced English test, so I began applying myself.
In 1982, I got into the graduate program in American literature at Shandong University, but I was not a good student -- at least, my professor didn't like me, probably because I married in my first year there when I was supposed to concentrate on my studies. There were only three graduate students in my year, and we had American professors teaching us most of the time. Back then, no doctoral degree in our field was offered in China, so the only way to continue my graduate work was to go abroad. Beatrice Spade, my American literature professor, encouraged me to apply to some U.S. universities, and in the winter of 1984, I started sending out applications.
The next spring, Brandeis University, which I knew nothing about and which had been recommended to me by Prof. Spade, notified me of my admission and offered me a scholarship, but I wasn't very excited. I was 28, and unable to imagine living outside of China.
Since childhood, I had lived a peripatetic life, most of the time separated from my parents, so I was quite independent. But the United States was so far away and so enigmatic that ever since I had started the application, I had been possessed by a restless emotion, as if I was about to fall ill. The previous October, Prof. Spade had introduced me to a group of top American scholars in a delegation that visited our university. They were staying at a hotel in Jinan City, and I spoke with Prof. Alan Trachtenberg, the head of American studies at Yale, for a preliminary interview. I was a bundle of nerves, and when he asked if I had questions for him, I blurted out, "I don't know if I can survive in America." The question, more existential than literal, must have been tormenting me for months and just gushed out. Prof. Trachtenberg's eyes flashed behind his glasses -- he was surprised, but there was no way for me to clarify, to say that physically I could survive for sure, but that I was more concerned about my quest for a meaningful existence, which I had no idea how to accomplish in the United States.
So, I blew my opportunity with Yale. I had my scholarship from Brandeis, though, and now I had to get permission from my university to go abroad. That meant I would have a J-1 visa that required its holder to return after graduation. To me, this was no problem, as I viewed my studies in America as no more than a sojourn. Besides, the authorities, to prevent me from defecting, would not allow my wife and child to go with me, so I would have to return anyway, the sooner, the better.
A schoolmate, Yafei, and I were allowed to leave together. He was going to MIT to study linguistics. After mid-August, we went to Beijing to go through a few days of "the training," which was more like a formality consisting of speeches given by officials and brief introductions to the United States.
One of the officials, a squat, smiling man, told us to be careful about sexual contact with foreigners and not to catch VD, but he also said, "It's understandable if you have a fling with someone when you are there, because we are not puritans."
Everything went smoothly in Beijing, except that three days before our scheduled departure, we were informed that the plane tickets were no longer available, though our school had paid for them long before. Apparently, our tickets had been given to "more important people." Desperate, Yafei contacted a distant relative who had some pull with the airport. To get the tickets, we would have to give the man some brand-name cigarettes. His wife was fond of 555's, and we decided to offer him two cartons. I didn't smoke and had no idea where to buy the foreign cigarettes, which regular stores didn't carry. Yafei, always resourceful, got them without difficulty, and we split the cost, each paying 30 yuan, almost half our monthly salary. We took a bus to the man's home to hand him the bribe. He met us in the doorway of his apartment and gave us the plane tickets after taking the cigarettes. Though he didn't let us in, through a narrow pane of glass on a door I caught a glimpse of his wife lying in bed smoking. On our way back to our dorm, Yafei said that the woman's father was a high-ranking official. Years later, whenever I thought of going back to China, the image of the young woman with a haggard face and bedraggled hair smoking expensive cigarettes would come to mind and make me wince.
Yafei and I boarded a plane without anyone seeing us off. I had never flown before, so the shifting and tilting cityscape of Beijing viewed from the air was exhilarating. However, the Boeing had a peculiar smell that nauseated us. It was a typical American odor, sharp and artificial, like a combination of chemicals and perfumes. Even lunch, Parmesan chicken and salad, tasted strange and gave off the same awful smell. I would find it everywhere in America, even on vegetables and fruits in supermarkets, but in a week or so I would get used to it, unable to detect it anymore.
Prof. Peter Swiggart, a middle-aged man with chestnut hair and a roundish, good-natured face, was assigned by the international program at Brandeis to be my host, so he agreed to pick me up at Logan International Airport.
The moment I sat in the passenger seat of his car, he told me to "buckle up." I had no clue what he was talking about. He pulled his seat belt; still, I didn't know how to use mine, never having seen one in a car before. I thought to myself, This is like a ride on a plane. That was the only connection I could make with the seat belt. Prof. Swiggart helped me push the buckle into the slot.
My graduate dormitory at Brandeis was a three-story building by the Charles River. I had two roommates. Benny was from Israel, and Hosan from South Korea. Hosan, a broad-framed man with a square face, was a second-year graduate student in the chemistry department, which had a number of Chinese students, so he spread the word among them about my arrival, probably because I was an oddity studying literature instead of science.
The next afternoon, I strolled along the Charles. The sky was clear and high, much higher than the sky in China, thanks to the absence of smog. A pudgy angler was fishing with a tallboy of beer in his hand. Behind us, Canada geese strutted and mallards waddled. A young mother and her toddler boy were tossing potato chips at the waterfowl. Soon the man caught a bass, about a foot and a half long, wriggling like crazy. He unhooked the fish, observed it for a few seconds. "Dammit, it's you again," he said, and, to my amazement, dropped it back into the water.
"You don't keep your fish?" I asked him.
"You can't eat it?" I was still baffled.
"I'm fishin' jus' for fun."
It occurred to me that people here had a different view of nature. That night, I wrote in my first letter to my best friend: "By comparison, our old land must be overused and exhausted. Nature is extraordinarily generous to America."
My roommate Benny was a first-year graduate student in Judaic studies. He was a skinny man and had a German girlfriend, Bettina, who had just arrived as a special student, doing graduate work at Brandeis for one year. At first, I thought that they both spoke English fluently, but I soon discovered that their vocabulary wasn't that rich and that they might not know more English than I did. Yet compared with theirs, my spoken English was quite shabby, partly because I had learned it mainly from books. For example, several times I introduced myself as "a freshman," assuming that the word referred to a first-year grad student as well. I couldn't understand the news on TV at all, and it took me two months to be able to follow TV shows. Some Chinese students in our dorm loved watching American wrestling, believing that the stunts, the moves, the pain were all real.
Below us, on the first floor, lived a young Indian couple, both graduate students. The wife, Aparna, was tall and vivacious, specializing in social policy and management. One evening, as we were having tea in their living room, she asked me, "Why didn't you bring your wife and child with you?"
"They were not allowed to come with me," I said.
"Who didn't allow them?"
"The government."
"Why not sue your government?"
Stumped, I didn't know how to answer. But the question has stayed with me since. It shook me, as I realized that democracy fundamentally meant the equality between the individual and the country. Such a thought was something few Chinese would dare to entertain.
When I left home, it was understood between my wife, Lisha, and me that I would live abroad for four years without coming back to visit her, because I was unlikely to be able to afford the airfare. Our 2-year-old son had been staying with her parents, and, right before my departure, Lisha and I went to see him; he was too young to worry about my imminent absence from his life. Even when I said goodbye, he hardly paid me any mind. After my arrival in Boston, I noticed that some Chinese graduate students had their spouses with them, so I began to figure out how to bring Lisha over. I spoke to a woman at the graduate school admissions at Brandeis, saying: "I want my wife to join me here. I miss her terribly." She didn't respond, her face wooden and her eyes dropped, as if I had asked for something beyond reason. The prolonged silence made clear that no assistance would come from her office.
Gradually, I found out that everyone who came here was entitled to have a visa for his or her spouse, but there was another difficulty, namely money. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing would demand that my wife show that I had at least $4,000 in my bank account. To earn that amount, I began working on and off campus. I started in the periodical section of the main library and learned to operate the copiers and the microfilm and microfiche machines. My fellow graduate student Dan Morris used to be a custodian at Waltham Hospital, but now he was too busy with his studies to keep all the hours, so he split the job with me. We each worked 20 hours a week in the medical building, vacuuming floors, cleaning toilets, washing glass doors, picking up trash from the offices and keeping the parking lot clean. We wore beepers at work so that the doctors and nurses could page us if they needed help. The job was undemanding, but I often got confused. For instance, a patient once told me to keep an eye on his "burgundy station wagon" because its lock was broken. I had no idea what kind of car a station wagon was and had to ask several people about that. A physician who spoke English with a Greek accent often wiggled his forefinger to summon me over when he wanted me to change a light bulb or clean away a patch of vomit on his office floor. I hated that gesture, which at first seemed to mean that he could pull me around with just one finger. But gradually I became accustomed to it as I saw that many others used it without any condescension. Despite some twinge of discomfort, I liked the job, mainly because I could rest my mind while I worked. I had to be very careful about my time and energy. At the outset of the semester, the director of graduate studies had told me that the English department had admitted Asian PhD candidates before, but none of them had survived the intensity of the graduate work, so I had to prove that I could manage it.
For new arrivals in America, there was always the sinister attraction of money. Suddenly one could make $4 or $5 an hour, which was equal to a whole week's wages back home. If you were not careful, you could fall into the money-grubbing trap. Some Chinese students didn't continue with their graduate work because they couldn't stop making money. One fellow from Shanghai started working part time in a museum on campus but soon stopped showing up in his lab in the physics department, dropped out of graduate school within a semester, and began taking courses to learn how to sell real estate. Another in American studies, who loved teaching as a profession, could no longer write his dissertation after taking a clerical job in a bank -- sometimes he put in more than 60 hours a week, the overtime even harder to resist.
One evening, as I was cleaning the front entrance of the medical building, a slender Hispanic woman carrying a baby stopped to watch me work. She was under 30, with honey-colored hair, and might have been a single mother. A moment later, she stepped closer and handed her pacifier-sucking baby to me, saying, "You like kids?" Her round eyes were glowing while a hesitant smile cracked her face.
I was perplexed but managed to say, "Sorry, I am busy now." I kept spraying Windex on the glass door. After scraping the glass clean, I observed my face in the mirror inside the men's room. I looked a bit melancholy and frazzled. But how on earth, I wondered, had that woman sensed my yearning for family?
My coursework and two part-time jobs kept me so busy that I rarely ate dinner. I would cook twice a week -- a potful of rice or spaghetti mixed with vegetables and chicken generally lasted me a few days. Back home, I wouldn't eat chicken or beef, because, unlike pork, they had tasted strange to me. But now I just ate whatever I could get. Fortunately, in America, food was very affordable. But my eating habit soon gave me a stomachache. I went to the infirmary, and the doctor said I had developed a digestive disorder and must eat regularly, three meals a day. That was out of the question, thanks to my hectic schedule. But my stomach problem made Lisha eager to join me here.
Despite my effort to earn money for her visa, she was not sure if she would be able to come. With the help of a doctor's letter about my illness, she had obtained a three-month leave from the school where she taught, but the Chinese authorities wouldn't let her bring our child. She was having difficulty getting a passport even for herself. For two months, she went to various offices every day to ask for permission to visit me. Sometimes she swept floors and wiped desks in those places just to earn the officials' mercy so they might issue her the papers.
During my absence, she had been raising our child alone on her teacher's salary. I missed him and often looked at the photos she mailed me. I could not afford to call home, since it cost more than $3 a minute. Worse, very few families in China had a phone back then, and if I was going to call, Lisha would have to go to an office to wait for the call. When she spoke, there would be people around, listening. Once in a while, she would send me the imprints of our child's hands and feet to give me a better sense of how much he had grown. In the Boston area, I had encountered young couples from China who had their children with them, and I could see that eventually I might be able to bring my son over, too, but the first step was to get his mother out.
However, even after Lisha got her passport, she began having second thoughts about leaving our son behind and coming alone. In her letters, she even bragged teasingly about how orderly her life had become without me around and said that, as we had planned, she could manage without seeing me for four years. I assured her that our family would be reunited in time, but she should come over first. She was worried about her lack of English, as well, and I told her that she could easily learn it once she was here. I also wrote her about American amenities: She could take a hot shower at home every day; she could do laundry in a washer and a dryer, no need to hand-launder anything; and she needn't burn honeycomb briquettes to cook, as electric and gas stoves were commonplace in America. What's more, the air here was so fresh and clean that your collar didn't get black even after you wore a white shirt for days, and that you needn't wipe your shoes.
After a few more exchanges of letters, she finally decided to come once I had earned the $4,000.
At the end of the semester, I completed my four courses with decent grades, which convinced the department of my ability. Then, one evening, my friend Jia-yang, a first-year graduate student in the biology department, came by to ask if he could borrow $1,000 from me, saying that his wife was going to apply for a visa, and he needed enough money in his bank account. I was stupefied, as it had never crossed my mind that I could have borrowed cash from friends, perhaps because it was such a big sum. I lent Jia-yang the money, and he promised to lend me some when Lisha began her application. And, two months later, he did. Now Lisha and I wouldn't have to wait for long to be together again, for me to show her my new American life.

CrossFit WOD
3 Rounds, teams of 3, 2 people working at a time
75 Push Press (75/55)
50 Box Jumps (24/20)
25 Burpee Pullups
Due to an odd number in our class today, Gina and I teamed up and adjusted the numbers down to 50, 25, and 15 of each movement. Would you believe that our favorite part of the WOD was the burpee pullups? No, really. They were actually quite fun. As for the push press, I was able to knock out 10 reps pretty fast each time and I bounded the box jumps, which makes them so much easier. I'm actually starting to look forward to Fight Gone Bad 6, I might actually make my PR goal!
Time: 13:33 Rx
Oh yeah…I took yesterday off. My callouses were sore and my groin was bugging me so I didn't want to aggravate them more with toes to bar and lots of squats. Also, the dreaded marathon training starts on Saturday! Can't start that with overstressed muscles. Wish me luck!

16 day old baby boy ~ family of 3 {south charlotte newborn photographer}
I had a fabulous time this morning photographing a handsome 16 day old newborn baby boy! Adorable Baby H and his parents came for their photo session at my studio and it was a breeze 🙂 He was a sleepy, easy baby and his awesome mama and daddy are totally smitten with him. We did have a few piles of laundry at the end and joked that they will have some great stories to tell him someday… I'm so happy that they will also have these photos to show him, too ❤ Here are a few sneak peek photos from our time together. Enjoy!

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard will not be in the lineup Tuesday night for Game 2 of the three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to a sore left quadriceps, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"My quad hasn't been the best," Howard told the Inquirer. "It's my back leg. It's my leg that I push off of that helps generate that power. When you're off, you're rushing things. You're off balance."
Howard, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and trainer Scott Sheridan met Monday and decided to rest him until he is examined by the team physician on Friday.
"We want to see if we can get him 100 percent," Manuel told the Inquirer. "It's gotten to the point where I figure if we can, it's time to get him completely healthy where he feels 100 percent like he can feel good about doing his job."
The reigning National League MVP will be available to pinch hit.
Howard hit .313 with 58 homers and 149 RBIs last season.

Durban – An ANC councillor was gunned down in Richmond, KwaZulu-Natal, on Thursday evening, bringing the death toll of municipal officials in the area to three for the year.
"Councillor Sfiso Mkhize of Richmond's ward two was killed in a hail of bullets today while on his way home," Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube said in statement released in the early hours of Friday morning.
"This is an extremely difficult time for the fraternity of local government as we mourn yet another loss of a public representative at the hands of cold-blooded assassins who have no respect for human life.
"Incidents such as this callous murder are a wrenching reminder of the great sacrifices and risks that councillors make by choosing to be servants of the people", said Dube-Ncube.
Government and political leaders would not be deterred by the incident, she said. "We must all come together to keep pressure on the criminals in our society who create an atmosphere of fear through the murder of local government representatives."
She urged law enforcement agencies to investigate the killing without delay and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
ANC provincial spokesperson, Mdumiseni Ntuli, said Mkhize had also served as chairperson of the Community Police Forum and was "a dependable champion of peace in his ward and Richmond in general".
In March, Richmond municipal manager Sibusiso Sithole was gunned down when he was travelling in the town without his bodyguards. Sithole was known to be taking a stand against corruption within the municipality.
Weeks later, the town's deputy mayor, Thandazile Phoswa, was found dead at her home with a gunshot wound to the head. Police said they ruled out political motivation in Phoswa's death, with it being ascribed to a presumed lovers' quarrel, although that has been disputed within the community.
On an official visit to KwaZulu-Natal last month, police minister Fikile Mbalula said that 33 political killings that had taken place in the province since January 2016 were being investigated. He said the province's provincial task team dealing with the cases would be augmented to include additional Hawks members and the national detective services.
In October last year, KZN Premier Willies Mchunu established the Marumo Commission. Lead by advocate Marumo Moerane, the commission was tasked with investigating the province's political killings since 2011.
Ntuli said in a statement: "We sincerely convey our deepest condolences to the family, friends and relatives of comrade Sifiso for such a tragic and painful lost of life.
"We call on the Law Enforcement Agencies to act with the necessary speed in dealing with the scourge of killings in our province," Ntuli added. "We sincerely hope that the perpetrators who have no respect and act with complete disdain towards human life will, one day, be caught and face the mighty (sic) of the law. This lost (sic) is real tragic and painful, not only to the family, but the movement as whole."
The Democratic Alliance (DA) said it was "deeply concerned at the destabilising of the Richmond municipality due to ANC factionalism".
"This latest heinous crime comes only a few months after the killing of Richmond municipal manager, Sibusiso Sithole, which still remains unsolved," DA UMgungundlovu East constituency head Dean Macpherson said.
"The residents of Richmond should not have to be the ultimate bearers of ANC factionalism as their Municipality's leaders live in constant fear, unable to do their work."

This page is an overview of important events that happened in Waterfall Creek.
Annual EventsEdit
Spring FestivalEdit
|Spring Festival
|Spring Festival
|Inhabitants of Waterfall Creek
|Town Square at Waterfall Creek
Before 1852 the first weekend of Spring was just a public outing ; everyone wanted to see and be seen. On Sunday evening, the young people would create a bonfire somewhere in the woods. In 1852 the major decided to create an event to prevent the bonfire to get out of controll , and to create more supervision. He decided to attach the Founders' Diner to give the Festival a better purpose.
Later the first day of the weekend became a day off to create a work-free weekend for anyone , so that everyone could help with the preparations. In theory it just became a day off.Around the millenium change the Founding Families started to host little 'pre-parties' before the Founding Family diner.
- Fair + barbeque(s) and/or cocktails
- Founding Family Diner : The Founding Family Dinner is hosted by one of the founding families, appointed by the history comittee. The dinner also includes an award ceremony, for biggest social contributor to the town. The nominees are invited too, which is why being nominated is considered a huge honor.
- In 2010 this was Alyssa Miller for paying for the repairs to the brige.
- In 2014 this was Mila Romano for the hospital fundraiser auction of her pictures.
- Bonfire
- Debutante Parade : One of the festivities where judges will pay attention to the behaviour of debutants. The debutantes will be selected to join the culture comittee to help preserve the cultural value of the town. Being in the debutante parade is considered obligatory as a member of the founding families, but there's flexibility to these rules.
- Spring Ball : Spring Ball was originally a get-together for young adults of the town, with a bonfire. Now it's a ball held at the school gym and it includes a special traditional debutante dance. It is the premiere of the debutantes in their new roles, and it's often a very exciting moment to show off their new dresses and gowns, as Spring Ball is largely covered by the local newspapers.
- Claire and Seth attend the fair and Claire participates in the debutante parades
- Lauren and Nate attend Spring Ball.
- Payton and Claire host a dinner in their house for Justin and Chris to honor the memory of their deceased parents and founding family members. (Chris does not show up)
- James, Elisabeth, Jason, Payton and Alyssa and Justin all attend Spring Ball
- Payton and Claire host a big founding family dinner for over 15 members of the founding familes. Alena's crying makes the house loose power for a brief 5 minutes
- no attendants for Spring Ball
Fall FestivalEdit
Fall Festival is an annual 3 days event in Waterfall Creek. It takes place during the final weekend of October.. It's a tradition that the festival falls on a full moon (because the moon was associated with nature and magic) and during that night there are a lot of activities in the towns square.
HistoryEditFall Festival started as an event to honour the death around the time of Halloween. Fall was associated with nature and magic and therefore one of the main aspects of Fall Festival. As a way to honor the death they held a parade of light (with candles back then and lampions nowadays). When the humans in the founding families didn't tell their children about magic Fall Festival changed. It wasn't necessarily a celebration of the death and magic anymore. It did still get associated with Halloween and therefore a lot of children go for Trick of Treat with Fall Festival.
Today Fall Festival is fun time for the whole family to do stuff at the town square. Music, games and other activities find place there. It's a good time to meet up with neighbours and friends. Drinking chocolate milk and eating caramelised apples is a tradition. People help carve pumpkins to decorate the town square and at night the whole town square is lit up. The tradition with the parade of light still stands and everyone tries to help out to make that a big success.
And as Fall Festival still falls together with Halloween there are a lot of children Trick or Treating. As a result of the town's history a lot of children still dress up as witches or vampires. But no one really knows why Fall Festival is celebrated anymore. High school students throw Halloween parties and it is the time for them to have fun and pull some pranks. Fall festival is also the time where a lot of young citizens get drunk for the first time, so there is a lot of parental supervision advised by the police
StructureEditThe first evening starts with a speech of the mayor about how wonderful the town is and how lucky they are that they have the opportunity to live here. Waterfall Creek is a friendly community. The last evening always ends with fireworks and a lot of people go to watch that, so the town square is full of people. People from all places come to experience Fall Festival in Waterfall Creek, so it is the most busy weekend of the year. Therefore the preparations start a few weeks beforehand and a lot of Senior students from SJBS get to help out to pull up their grades.
- Jason and Payton have a date at Fall Fest.
- Alyssa attends the party with one of the school's athletes

Organizing for Action's Barack Obama Facebook page posted a photo late Wednesday of President Barack Obama looking at Justin Timberlake's phone with the caption "It's gonna be May," a riff on a popular online meme. The post has racked up more than 400,000 shares.
Organizing for Action's @BarackObama Twitter account tweeted the same photo last year on May 29, along with a reference to the Grammy Award-winning singer's 2013 single "Suit & Tie".
The pop star performed at the White House a month before as part of the concert "In Performance At The White House: Memphis Soul."
"It's gonna be May" is a popular misheard lyric from *NSYNC's 2000 hit "It's Gonna Be Me." While it may seem like the page is out of touch if the lyric is wrong, the line has actually become a very popular meme that Internet users share in the walk-up to May.
The picture reminds us of past viral photos aimed at millennial voters, such as the White House website with GIFs of cats and twerking and that time the White House tried to make fetch happen again.

There has been great interest in the components for controlling the railway and lots of questions both via email and on exhibitions and fairs - hugely enjoyable and positive feedback!
More users mean more contacts and brings new ideas and inspiration!
A lot of the new features and new products are the result of requests from the customers.
The system is in operation on both analogue and digitally controlled layouts, and on both modular and home railways, as well as large club layouts!
Please continue to submit your questions and ideas!
And if you wonder how the system could be put to use on your particular layout, then send us a sketch of the railway!
Coming new stuff during winter and spring
Occupancy detection for 3R
Nice to see that many working with Märklin/3R have noticed the MGP control system. With this comes the wish for suitable occupancy detection.
The shop now includes 3R occupancy detection (sensing 5 tracks) aimed to be used with the servo decoder.
On the way is also a card for for 8 tracks that can be used with the signal decoder (which can handle 2 such cards and the 16 tracks).
These cards work with the usual 3R method of cutting one rail and using it as a detector rail.
Signals in both H0 and N
A whole series of Swedish and Danish signals are under development, from the smallest dwarf signal to large five light main signal, and of course the signals around the railway crossing.
The signals will both H0 and N scale!
The picture shows prototypes for the Swedish 3 light main signal in N and H0.
These signals are very neat and nice. They are very easy to operate - driver etc. is built in so they are ready to be connected to the signal decoder.
We've had some problems with the circuit board deliveries in December, and it also affects the signals. The hope is to start delivering in late February.
Signal mounting
For the signals there will also be a mounting, a "signal pit". It's removable and makes it easy to mount the signals on the layout. In the mounting there is space for drivers electronics (LED3), so it can also be used for other signal then the MGP signals.
Control of traditional switches
Many people have asked for a decoder to control traditional switch motors.
Now a MGP decoder for this, is available. It has about the same features as the servo decoder and can be used with traditional switch motors of "sollenoid-type" as well as "motor-type".
Sound at railway crossing
The sound module sold out almost immediately, but now we have more of them in stock!
Servos and the servo decoder are ideal for building a railway crossings with barriers. The Servo Decoder can handle the automation so that the barriers will close when the train approaches, etc.
The lights around the railway crossing are handled by the signal decoder. The Signal Decoder gets information from the Servo decoder to set the correct signals aspects at the right time.
Sound on the railway crossing can also be nice! The X-outputs of the Servo Decoder can control and synchronize the audio.
Electricity distribution card
Specially from the module people there has been question around a way to easily provide power to the whole module from one power source.
The card is supplied with 12 volts and can provide the system with the necessary electricity.
Multiple cards can be connected together so that for example, a module divided into several sections, can be supplied by a single power source.
The various cards can be connected via the regular LocoNet cable or via separate cable.
Voltage conversion is effective to avoid unnecessary power losses.
Signal decoder in new variations - Danish and German
Current signal decoder supports Swedish signals. Two new versions are on the way - a Danish and a German variant.
Beta testers of these new variants wanted!
Pictures from N-scale builders
It's very interesting to see the result of our kits. Pleas send pictures and we like to publish them on the site!
A selection of photos of the YD can be found on the product page for Yd!
