Not Yet: Chapter 1
The door closed quietly behind them and both turned to gaze at it as the click of the key turning in the lock sounded both their doom and their survival. There was no way out now till morning. No way out without the fulfilment of the requirements listed that would save them. No way out without a supreme sacrifice.
Dumbledore cleared his throat awkwardly and motioned to Minerva to sit down. She did so, keeping her eyes to the floor, her face the very picture of misery, he thought. She sat stiffly on the sofa, her hands in her lap, her eyes closed. Her head was bowed, she might have been praying but for the movement of her fingers, which laced and unlaced themselves seemingly without her direction.
She cannot bear to look at me. He said to himself. The idea was painful to him, and certainly not conducive to the evening's task. How on earth was he going to be able to…it was beyond imagining, and went against every sense of decency he held. Abominable, what I must do. He thought. One day, I had hoped…but not yet, not like this! That it should happen like this!
He let out a huge sigh, and Minerva opened her eyes. He is horrified. She thought to herself, the notion of his distaste cutting to her very soul. How on earth can we do this? Her eyes filled with tears as he took a seat beside her. She felt an almost uncontrollable urge to apologise to him, as if it were her fault that they were trapped in this uncomfortable situation, as if somehow her secret years of yearning had betrayed her and conspired to bring them to this. Be careful what you wish for…
He saw her tears and reached out a hand to wipe them away.
"Forgive me, Minerva," He said. "for what I must do tonight." His voice was barely audible, cracked and rugged under the strain of his intense emotion.
She shook her head, and moved towards him, taking him in her arms and holding him so tightly that he thought she was trying to squeeze the breath out of him. His sense of humour resurfaced momentarily as he considered that that may be exactly what she was trying to do - suffocate him and prevent him from carrying out his dreadful charge. But she quickly let go, stroking his cheeks gently as she cried more tears, whispering that he was being ridiculous, that it was no one's fault. It was the only way.
"Whatever will become of us, Albus?" She asked, her hands trembling as she smoothed his beard.
He shook his head and took her hand in his.
"We will go on. We are Gryffindors after all." He smiled wryly. "And I have faith in us. In our friendship and respect for one another."
For a brief moment, they sat together, hands clasped, in their first comfortable moment since the door had locked behind them, concentrating on all that they had gained in their forty years of friendship and marvelling at the many hurdles they had overcome together. Would they overcome this one Minerva wondered? Would their friendship remain untarnished when the door unlocked the next morning?
Their musings turned to all that they risked, and the moment was gone. She took a deep breath and looked towards the table.
"Perhaps a game of chess might help us relax?" She suggested. "We have until morning, after all."
He smiled slightly and nodded at the suggestion, and together they set up the board, working methodically and in silence, placing their own pieces in the appropriate positions, concentrating on the task at hand and desperately trying to avoid the others' eye. Where before Albus had always clumsily set up his pieces, knocking them over with his sleeves and laughing as they shouted at him to be more careful, his hands brushing against Minerva's as together they replaced the fallen figures, now his precision betrayed his discomfort. He was afraid to touch her, afraid that he would betray his secret self, afraid of setting events in motion. It was not time. Not yet.
Minerva sighed to herself. Look what it has done to us already. She thought. We can barely look at each other. She chanced a quick glance at his face, and found his blue eyes gazing back at her. He looked down at his pieces and then back into her eyes and smiled slightly.
"Look, Minerva!" He cried, almost managing to speak with the boyish charm that was so familiar and so dear to her. "I've managed to set them up without knocking down one!"
She congratulated him with a small smile of her own, and they began the game.

Stroke is often called a "brain attack" because it affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke happens when an artery that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs and starts to die.
About 80 percent of all strokes are caused by a severe blockage of blood to part of the brain. Most commonly, blood flow through an artery is blocked by atherosclerosis (narrowed arteries).
Occurs when arteries break, causing bleeding into or around the brain.
Stroke is the sixth leading cause of death in Washington and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in Washington and the nation.
Learning the signs of stroke and calling 9-1-1 for help can prevent disability and death from stroke.
Calling 911 initiates our state's emergency response system so the best possible treatment options are available.
All of the major symptoms of stroke appear suddenly and need to be taken seriously.
The most common symptoms of stroke can be remembered by the acronym F.A.S.T.:
Other symptoms of stroke include:
Even one of these signs may mean you or someone else is having a stroke.
If you or someone you are with have any one of these symptoms, it's important to act F.A.S.T. and call 911 right away. Treatments can be given in an ambulance or shortly after arriving at a hospital that can stop a stroke by quickly dissolving a blood clot in an ischemic stroke, or stopping the bleeding of a hemorrhagic stroke.
There is a short period of time after the symptoms start, when serious damage can be prevented. Rehabilitation after a stroke helps people overcome disabilities that result from damage to the brain.
There are some conditions that increase your chances of a stroke. Some risks can be changed and others cannot. The more risks you have, the greater your chance of a stroke.
*If you have diabetes, you can reduce your risk by working with your healthcare provider to manage other risk factors, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol.

The Legend of Atka: Chapter 10 - The Phoenix Rises - Part Two
The two firebenders moved in complete unison as they worked through a series of movements, shooting fire out at the end of each form. It was poetry in motion and the small gathered audience was transfixed on their movements.
After a final burst of movement the two of them crossed over each other, breaking the symmetry, and shoot a final burst of flame from their outstretched hands.
"Excellent my pupil" said Piazzo as he bowed to Atka
Atka returned the bow, "Thank you master Piazzo"
Kann, Masaru, Akeme, Roku and Mira were wall sat to the side of the training grounds and they all seemed impressed by the display.
Kann whooped, "Great job Atka!"
Roku nodded with approval, "I must admit that you have improved hugely over the last couple of weeks"
Atka smiled at everyone watching, "Thanks. I appreciate that!"
Piazzo put his hand on Atka's shoulder, "I'm impressed with you Atka, you're still some way from mastering firebending but if you keep this up you'll be there in no time"
Roku stood up, "Well I think you've earned some time off, wouldn't you agree Piazzo?" he asked, Piazzo nodded in response. "Tonight is the Fire Festival and you and Kann are the guests of honour"
Kann face lit up, "A festival, with food and dancing?" he said brightly
Mira chuckled, "Plenty of food and dancing, it's a great party involving everyone in the city"
Akeme smiled, "You'll both love it, there's stuff happening all over the city. The big feast in the palace is the best part"
"Sound great!" Atka said enthusiastically.
"You have to look your best though!" Mira said slightly sternly.
Atka and Kann's faces fell, after a long time traveling they had foregone smart clothes. Atka spoke with trepidation, "We don't have any smart or formal clothes..."
Mira thought for a second, "I think Iroh might have some things he picked up in his travels, I'd rather you wore something from your nations rather than Fire Nation clothes. Go and find him in the house down the road"
"Follow me" said Iroh; he led Kann and Atka into a backroom of his house. The room was medium sized and contained a large amount of artefacts from all four nations, including weaponry, tools and clothes.
"This place is amazing!" Kann said
"Thank you Kann, this is just a few of the things I have picked up over the years. Some of these things are incredibly rare, this headdress for instance..." he pointed out a golden headdress that was hanging on a stand, "This is from the Sun Warrior civilisation, they are incredibly secretive and they were long thought to be extinct. I managed to contact them through the Fire Lord, who once met them"
Atka interrupted, "That's really cool but can we find something for me and Kann to wear tonight?"
"Of course!" said Iroh, "I have plenty of ceremonial robes from both the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom" he picked out a green silk robe, "I acquired this one when I visited Ba Sing Se not too long ago" it was a long, deep green one piece robe, it had golden patterns on it as well as a golden shawl which covered the shoulders. "This is normally worn during high class functions in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se. It would look perfectly in place in at the Fire Festival" he handed it to Kann who took it behind a screen to put it on.
He stepped out from behind it with a flourish, it looked very smart. "This is really nice, it would go brilliantly with my dads helmet..." Kann said as he inspected himself in a nearby mirror
Iroh looked pleased, "I'm glad that you like it, better take it off for now"
Kann took his off and Iroh returned with a blue robe, "This is yours, its from the Southern Tribe and is normally worn during the Glacier Spirits Festival"
Atka took it and inspected it; he had seen similar robes in the past. It was made up of many shades of blue; a lighter blue made up the lower half whilst the upper body was darker. A navy blue shawl covered the shoulders; this was lined with white fur.
Atka put it on behind the screen, he stepped out and looked in the mirror, "I like it" he said. "I've seen robes like this before at the Spirits Festival"
Iroh again looked pleased, "Excellent, I'll get someone to take these over to your room for later. Make sure you arrive at the Royal Plaza early, you'll miss a lot otherwise"
Atka and Kann thanked Iroh and left his house, looking forward to the evening.
Atka was stood downstairs with Kann and Roku; they were waiting for the rest of the family to come downstairs so they could leave for the Royal Plaza. Roku was wearing royal robes that consisted of an armoured shoulder cover, which was lined with gold, and a lower robe, which was cloth and was also gold lined.
Piazzo entered the room; he was wearing similar clothes to his father. "The others not down yet then?" he asked
"Nope" Roku said shortly.
Piazzo sighed, "They better get a move on..."
As he said this Masaru entered the room. Unlike his father and brother he didn't wear the royal robes. He'd opted for a lighter fitting shirt and waistcoat combo that were deep red and black with gold lining along the lapels.
Kann smiled, "Looks great Mas!" he said
"You're looking good yourself Kann" he replied, "Very formal"
Mira followed Masaru and she too wore royal robes. The only difference with her clothes was that here shoulder coverings were made of cloth rather than armour.
Roku kissed his wife lightly, "Beautiful..." he said.
Piazzo jokingly put two fingers in his mouth to simulate gagging. Atka tried to hold in his giggles.
Soon afterwards Akeme entered the room, Atka felt his jaw fall as she walked in. She was wearing a long red dress with a red, belly-revealing top. A thin silk like material was attached between her shoulders and wrists. Her hair was done up in a high bun and she wore a gold necklace.
Mira was flushed, "You look absolutely wonderful Akeme" she said with pride.
Akeme giggled; "I was worried that I'd over done it" she twirled around showing off her outfit.
Mira went over to straighten Akeme's hair band, "Not at all, you look stunning darling"
Roku coughed, "Whilst its lovely to be praising each other we should really get a move on to the Royal Plaza, there should be palanquins waiting outside for us.
They moved outside the house and there were 4 palanquins waiting for them, as well as a fancily dressed woman.
"Ah!" said Piazzo, puffing out his chest, "Here's my lovely lady" he walked briskly over to her and hugged her.
She had dark skin and dark brown hair; she wore a scarlet dress with a vest like top that was attached around her neck.
"You took your time" she said with a smile
Piazzo laughed, "Sorry, had to wait for some people to get ready" he indicated behind him towards the others.
Roku approached her, "Its lovely to see you Hikari, don't let him get into any trouble" he added with a sly grin.
Hikari giggled, "I'll make sure, don't worry"
Akeme went up to her next, "You look lovely Hikari!" she said enthusiastically
Hikari looked flattered, "I could say exactly the same about you! That silk is just beautiful!" she felt the silk that hung by Akeme's arms.
Masaru coughed impatiently, "Can we get a move on!" he said
The palanquins held two people each, Roku and Mira went into the front one, Piazzo and Hikari took the second, followed by Masaru and Kann in the one behind that.
Akeme grabbed Atka's wrist and pulled him into the back palanquin, "I think you're accompanying me to the festival" she said with a giggle.
Atka smiled and made himself comfortable inside the palanquin. It was lined with cushions and veils made it impossible to look inside them.
The streets were adorned with lights and decorations; they had really put an effort into making the city look its very best.
"Do you like it?" Akeme asked
"I love it! It's like the Glacier Spirits Festival back home. They decorate the streets with all sorts of things, and then there's the big feast in the palace afterwards" Atka said enthusiastically.
Akeme moved closer to Atka, "You'll love the plaza. It's normally reserved for big royal dos like weddings and coronations. But tonight its full of stalls and entertainers, there's always something special going on..." she had an excited look in her eyes.
"Is it okay for us to walk around?" Atka asked, "You know, because you're like important..."
Akeme laughed, "Of course it is! There're so many people around that we just blend in, why do you think I wore something like this?" she held her arms up, "If it weren't for the gold bits you wouldn't know it was being worn by royalty"
The palanquin journey continued around the palace and down the central boulevard. They stopped in the concourse of the cable car station, which Atka had seen just a couple of weeks earlier.
Atka got out the palanquin, followed by Akeme,
"You're supposed to help a princess out of her palanquin. That's common courtesy" Akeme said seriously.
Atka felt hurt by this, "Oh...sorry"
Akeme smiled, "But I'm more than happy to make exceptions" she grabbed Atka's arm and they both walked to where the rest of her family were.
There was a cable car waiting for them, it was a much fancier vehicle than the one Atka arrived in. It had a red pagoda style roof and was adorned with gold. The interior was comfy and had cushions in it, like the palanquins. They sat down in their pairs inside the car as it started to move off.
Roku cleared his throat and spoke to everyone inside the carriage, "We have four hours until the we have to be back at the palace for the feast, me and Mira will be heading up early so everyone else needs to keep an eye on the time and be back at the cable car as early as possible. Other than that, to our guests especially, enjoy yourselves!"
The cable car had taken a different route to the public one, it had stopped at the top of a large stone structure in between the two halves of the harbour city, this was the top of the Plaza tower.
Everyone got off the carriage and they were greeted by two guards who took them through to a large room that overlooked the rest of the Plaza complex, mainly the huge stone road which ran up the from the seafront to the building they were currently in.
"Excellent! The rest of my family has arrived!" a voice said behind them, it was the Fire Lord. Iroh and Mizan, who were both wearing the same robes as Roku, flanked him.
The new arrivals bowed to Zuko.
"There is no need to bow to me here, this is supposed to be a celebration after all! And may I say how wonderful you all look!" Zuko said happily, he had a broad grin on his face.
Roku stepped forward, "Thank you father" he turned to the younger members of the group, "Now go and enjoy the Festival, but remember to be back in good time!"
The Plaza was a great mixing bowl of food stalls, entertainment and much more. Many small lamps of various colours lighted up the place and stalls were adorned with Fire Nation decorations and emblems. Piazzo and Hikari had already split from the group to do their own thing, so Kann, Masaru, Akeme and Atka were left standing in the middle of the Plaza trying to think of something to do.
"We could go and watch the firebending demonstrations, they're always good fun!" Masaru suggested
"I think Kann and Atka should go and look at the shadow puppets, let them take in some culture" Akeme suggested back
"How about we have a walk around all the stalls?" Atka said
Akeme and Masaru shrugged, "Fair enough" they said in unison
They walked with each other down the centre of the Plaza; there was a lot of activity going on around them. Children ran around screaming, adults were sampling the great variety of food on offer, and elderly couple simply walked around with happy smiles on their faces as they took it all in.
Masaru suddenly grabbed Kann's hand, "Oh wait! I have something I need to show you, you'll love it don't worry!" he turned to Akeme, "You don't mind if we go off do you?" he asked
Akeme shook her head, "Not all, go and enjoy yourselves!" she replied
Masaru led Kann down a pathway to the left, between two food stalls, they were both laughing with each other.
Akeme put her arm around Atka's and pulled herself close, "Now they're gone we have a bit more freedom to do what we want!" she said.
Atka observed one particular stall, "What are fire flakes?" he asked
Akeme laughed, "They're a snack we eat here" she handed over a handful of coins to the vendor and picked up a bag, which she handed to Atka, he took out a few and ate them. The heat of them hit Atka rather hard but he soon got over that and they were rather tasty.
"These are good!' said Atka with a grin, "But they are quite hot!"
Akeme giggled, "Of course they are! Everything is hot in the Fire Nation!" she took out a handful from the bag at started to eat them.
After some time browsing the stalls and buying various items Akeme spoke to Atka, "Do you mind if I take you somewhere?"
Atka was confused, "Where?"
Akeme looked down, "I think you'll be interested in it, it's a really special place..."
Atka nodded, "Okay then."
Akeme smiled and took Atka's hand, she led him away from the Plaza and up a small winding path which went up the cliff to the side of the Plaza. Once they were up on the top of the cliff Akeme led Atka down a cobbled path towards the ocean. At the end of the path stood a small fountain with a plaque in the middle.
"Read it..." Akeme said pointing to the plaque
Atka moved in closer to it and read the plaque,
'In commemoration of the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom forces who landed on the shores of this nation in 100AG, on the Day of Black Sun'
"The Day of Black Sun? I know about this! Chief Sokka led a group of soldiers with his father Hakoda and Avatar Aang. The invasion failed because Fire Lord Ozai hid inside some tunnels underneath the Royal Palace..." he turned to Akeme, "Why did you bring me up here?"
Akeme shrugged, "Its an important place, believe it or not, it cemented the friendship between the Southern Water Tribe and the Fire Nation. Chief Sokka suggested that this fountain should be built to commemorate the day that Ozai was nearly defeated"
Atka had a stern look on his face, "But why celebrate nearly defeating someone?"
"Because they came closer than anyone thought they would, it showed the world that the Fire Nation wasn't to be feared as much as they thought, that they could end the war..." Akeme said. She walked past Atka and sat on one of the benches. "It's also got one of the best views in the city..."
Atka sat next to her on the bench and looked down over the harbour and the end of the Plaza, she was right. Atka spent some time taking in all of the details while Akeme moved in close to him and eventually she held his hand.
"I love it up here..." she said softly, "I've really enjoyed tonight Atka, thank you" she planted a kiss on his cheek.
Atka blushed, "Yeah, I've enjoyed tonight as well..."
Akeme brushed up closer and placed a hand on his cheek, she turned his head towards hers and kissed him. Atka was conflicted, he didn't quite know how to respond but he still closed his eyes as the kiss happened.
Suddenly, from below, there was large explosion. Atka broke off the kiss and opened his eyes just in time to see a large plume of smoke billow up from the wall near the Plaza tower. Soon after this large flames were being produced down on the Plaza itself.
Atka jumped up and ran towards the edge of the cliff where it met the Plaza wall. He produced a small earth platform and held onto Akeme, "Hold tight" he said loudly. They slid down the cliff on the platform with Atka's earthbending.
Once they reached the bottom they got an idea of what had just happened, there was a large hole in the wall near the bottom of the Plaza building. This meant that there was no way of reaching the cable car to the city.
Up on the hill there was another explosion, a smaller one. One of the towers with held the cable wire up collapsed. There was now no way of getting into the city. Along the Plaza there was a group of heavily robed firebenders causing havoc amongst the stalls. Members of the public were fleeing towards the harbour, but rather than follow them, Atka ran up the Plaza towards the firebenders.
He kept close to the wall with Akeme behind him, he didn't want to be spotted by the seemingly ruthless Fire Benders.
He turned to Akeme, "Stay quiet okay, we need to find the others..."
Akeme nodded and they kept moving. They soon reached a fairly open area and they cautiously walked out into it.
"Hey!" a gruff voice shouted. They both turned to see one of the robed firebenders get into a stance ready to fire, "These are two more of them!" he shouted.
He shot a flame towards them but Atka earthbended a rock out of ground to deflect it. Akeme jumped out from behind the rock and shot her own fire back at the man, but he blocked them easily. He got ready to shoot more fire but a flying boulder coming from the right hand side knocked him down. Kann stepped out and brushed his hands, he was followed by Masaru,
"Evening!" he said brightly, "Nice to see you've finally arrived"
Atka's face was serious, "No time for joking Kann, this is quite serious"
Akeme turned to her brother, "Where's Piazzo?" she asked
Masaru shook his head, "They've got him and Hikari. We saw them being taken back towards the Plaza tower"
"I think we have more pressing matters!" Kann cried. Two more robed firebenders arrived.
"Give yourselves up!" one of the shouted, "The Phoenix has risen! You have no place here!"
They were stood about 10 metres away and Atka assumed they were very skilled at firebending. He readied himself to strike.
"Attack in 3...2...1..." Atka shot fire at them, Akeme and Masaru followed suit.
For a split second it looked as if they had done some damage, but the firebenders had both simply bended the fire around them and they were getting ready to fire to straight back.
Kann sensed the danger and raised an earth platform, which he pushed backwards towards the tower.
Once the platform had gone some way away from the firebenders Kann stopped it and they got off. There was a mumbling not too far away from them, they looked over a pole and saw Piazzo and Hikari chained up and gagged. Atka went over to them but Piazzo's mumbling got more desperate, Atka stopped. He felt a heat to his left; a firebender was preparing to deliver a blow. There was a trough of water near so Atka bended the water in it to block the flame before it hit him. He then used a water whip to knock him out; he made sure he wouldn't get up by pinning his hands down with earthbending. He quickly untied Piazzo and Hikari.
"We have to get to the palace" Piazzo said with exasperation, "I don't think these attackers have got up to the main city yet"
"That's going to be easier said than done, this place is crawling with those robed guys," Atka said.
Kann shouted from Atka's left, "Guys! We've got company!"
Atka and Piazzo ran back into the middle, there were firebenders flanking either side. They had blocked off the path to the harbour and the path to the Plaza building.
Three more arrived behind Piazzo and Atka, pushing them into the centre of the Plaza. There was no way of escaping.
One of the firebenders stepped forwards, "Give yourselves up! The reign of Fire Lord Zuko is over. The Fire Nation shall rise from his ashes on wings of flame!" he shouted.
Atka whispered to his friends, "We can take these guys..."
But Piazzo shook his head, "No, we'd be destroyed if we tried to fight"
Atka turned to his firebending instructor, "I'm not going to go down without a fight"
The firebenders closed in around them with their fists raised. There was little time to make a decision, they either fought back or be arrested.
Suddenly there was a cry from the surrounding stalls as groups of people jumped out and attacked the robed benders with their own firebending. They were a mixed group of civilians, partygoers and soldiers.
Atka and his group sensed the opportunity to strike as well, they joined in with the attack on the robed benders. Piazzo and his siblings displayed some incredibly skilled firebending as they worked together to take down a handful of the attackers. Atka and Kann used earthbending to take down some more.
The attackers were soon defeated and a soldier came up to Piazzo, "Prince Piazzo" he said with a slight bow, "We have cleared a safe path to the docks, we can evacuate everyone to a safe location"
Piazzo nodded and went to Hikari, "I don't want anything happening to you. Please go to the docks and get out of here" he said softly
Hikari sniffed, "You're right, I'm not a bender, I'd be no use to you against these...these...these people..." she hugged Piazzo, "But I don't anything to happen to you either. Please stay safe for me, I love you" she kissed Piazzo and went off with a couple of soldiers down the Plaza.
Piazzo turned to Masaru and Akeme, "You two go as well..." he said
"No way!" Akeme said forcefully, "I'm not some girly princess you know, I can fight just as well as you can!"
Masaru nodded in agreement, "Besides, our family is in danger. I'm not just going to run away from that!"
Kann joined in, "They're the same age as me and Atka, if we're being allowed to fight then why aren't they?"
Piazzo sighed with frustration, "Right that's it! Kann, Akeme and Masaru, you three are getting out of here. I'm not taking responsibility for any of you getting hurt!"
Akeme faced Atka with a mixture of anger and sadness in her eyes, "What do you think we should do, Avatar?"
Atka was facing the ground in deep thought, "I don't want any of you getting hurt..." he said quietly. Akeme's face turned to anger. Atka continued, "But this is your fight as much as ours, you can all handle yourselves and I think you have a right to join us" he looked up at them, "I wouldn't ever go into a battle without you by my side!"
Akeme, Kann and Masaru all ran up to Atka and hugged him, Piazzo looked on with his arms crossed.
Piazzo spoke, "Fine, if you want to come, you can. But I want you all to be careful!"
Kann grinned, "Come and join the group hug then!"
Piazzo frowned, "I'm 20 years old..."
Kann's grin spread to the others as they opened a gap in their hug for him.
With a sigh and a smile, Piazzo joined the hug. The sun had set over the city leaving a red smudge in the sky, things in the Fire Nation were about to change.

What's your favourite number?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 14
I'm assuming you implied numbers one through ten, right?(Since you have 1-10 listed under your question.)
Number one (1) is my favorite number.
Two is not a winner, and three nobody remembers. Numbers four through ten are irrelevant. But who can beat number one? Even zero, which comes before one, can't beat it (since nobody wants to be known as a ZERO.)
I... am... number ONE!00|00|0
I meant any number, nor jut 1-10
@Asker Even with that in consideration, I would still say number one.
Although 100 is cool, since it's the first number in the "hundreds" and it's the age I want to die at (just to say I reached the milestone.)

I am long the U.S. markets at the moment, as it appears that, on the margin, the domestic economy is improving. However, am still highly risk-averse due to the European debt situation. The markets appear to have breathed a sigh of relief that the Greek problem is now "solved," but I am not so sanguine. I believe the crisis is about to come back with a vengeance -- just when the markets are feeling most complacent about it.
First of all, Greece is hardly "solved." The austerity cuts are going to plunge this country into a deep recession -- and while this is undoubtedly a necessity, it will leave Greece unable to repay the remaining debt. I believe public debt holders will have to take a haircut later this year, rather the private holders exclusively shouldering this burden. The numbers simply don't add up. If getting debt down to 120% of gross domestic product over the next decade is considered success, I would hate to see failure!
More important, nary a word has been uttered about Portugal and Ireland. The debt burden there is nearly as bad as it is in Greece, and I see zero probability that those countries -- or, at least, their citizens -- will sit passively and keep paying on their full debt burdens. The Irish are especially at risk, given that the debt burden was dumped on the citizenry in order to bail out their bankers. The politics just don't point to an avoidance of default -- and this will probably happen soon.
I do believe Italy and Spain will be bailed out by the European Central Bank, which will continue to monetize their debt. In these cases, there is no other choice. The net result translates into a depreciating euro and a continuation of the debt crisis as it moves northwest from the Hellenic peninsula. The markets are not discounting this eventuality. So, as they say, be careful out there.

Ok, I'm 19 and I'm really into gothic lolita clothing and cosplaying.
Don't get me wrong, I have other clothing and enjoy other styles as well, but a lot of the time I do enjoy going out in public wearing lolita inspired clothing.
I was just curious if any other girls are into the fashion and if guys think it's a turn on or a turn off?
Most Helpful Girl
Just like any other style guys will or won't love it. There is no rule. That is like saying all girls are turned on by a popped collar guy.
Personally, I am in the same boat as you - I love gothic and lolita clothing, but I normally wear regular clothes unless I feel like "playing dress up."It is such a strong style it is a hit or miss. Two of my exes adored it and asked me to wear it more, one just called me a spaz.
Ultimately if the guy likes you, he likes you. You just might be a bit more intimidating because of your eccentric geddup. No matter what, don't change your look to go "guy catching" like a venus fly trap - the clothes reflect an aspect of your personality, and if they really are against that type of dress, then they aren't the right person for you.00|00|0

US Senator Bernie Sanders, who ran a primary campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton earlier this year, has defended the former secretary of state's disparaging remarks about his supporters.
Clinton was heard in a leaked audio clip describing Sanders' supporters as "children of the Great Recession," who are "living in their parents' basement."
Sanders defended Clinton's remarks in an interview with CNN on Sunday, saying the former first lady had a "point."
"Well, I agree with her, what she is saying," Sanders said on CNN's State of the Union.
"There are young people who went deeply into debt, worked very hard to get a good education, and yet get out of school and can't get decent jobs... and are living in their parents' basements. There is a point there."
The audio, released by the Free Beacon on Saturday, was from a private fundraiser hosted by former US ambassador Beatrice Welters in Virginia in February.
According to the audio, Clinton had also accused the former presidential candidate of selling a "false hope" to his supporters.
Sanders said he was bothered by the comment but his supporters should vote for Clinton regardless.
"Look at Clinton's positions; look at [Republican nominee Donald] Trump's positions. Understand that one or the other of those two will be the next president of the United States, and after you take a hard look at those candidates and their issues, I think the conclusion the vast majority will reach is that Clinton is the superior candidate," Sanders said.
During the primaries, Sanders ran a close race with Clinton and promised to continue the fight all the way until the Democratic National Convention in June, where the party's nominee was going to be named.
Towards the end of the race, however, Sanders changed his tone and bowed out in favor of Clinton. He also appeared next to her during the DNC and officially endorsed her by giving an emotional speech.
Meanwhile, Trump jumped on the audio file as an opportunity to win over Sanders' fans, who feel betrayed by the senator.
The New York billionaire said the comments were "demeaning and mocking," and showed that Clinton "thinks Bernie supporters are hopeless and ignorant basement dwellers."
Noting that Clinton had called his supporters a "basket of deplorables," the Republican nominee concluded that the Democratic nominee looks down on people who are support other candidates.

I'm lucky that I get to travel a lot, and with a number of airlines only providing a chauffeur based on a particular business/first class fare type (I generally purchase the cheapest available) I find myself more and more booking airport transfers but left with only earning points based on credit card spend.
This is my current strategy:
– I'm a Starwood Fan through and through, currently receiving 4 Points per $ during my stay, and 1 Point Per $ Spent on everyday spend when using Uber (+ Credit Card Spend)
I don't think that is to bad across the board to be honest, but when I get off a plane – the thought of trying to organise Uber in a non-english speaking country and find the pick up location doesn't sound too appealing.
I recently started using Blacklane more and more, and they have recently introduced a partnership with Lufthansa… with 1 Point Per $ Spent. While I would approx. spend $20,000 + a year on transfers, the value just isn't their for a program that I don't see the value in.
Does anyone know of any other transfer providers that have point earn potential?

"Very helpful hosts"
Reviewed yesterday NEW
We stayed at El Porton Verde for more than a week. Mike and the rest of his family were the best hosts that anyone can imagine. They were very helpful in every way. For instance they went with us to the police station (we had been robbed before we went to El Porton Verde) and helped us with translation, they let us use their private computer for hours and hours, they made us delicious food, they gave us good tips on what to do in the Managua area, they drove us to the bus station, etc.. The place in itself is beautiful and peaceful, with fruit trees and pool. It is a perfect amount of guests there, so that you can have nice conversations with Mike and his family as well as the other guests, but it's totally silent during the night. In addition to all this, the rooms are very nice and the wifi is stable and strong. Mike also gave us a better deal since we stayed there so long. This was the best place we've ever stayed!
Stayed January 2015, traveled with friends
via Very helpful hosts – Review of Farmstay El Porton Verde, Managua, Nicaragua – TripAdvisor.
Well, another great review in the books! We had a long-term guest named Jeff who was doing some work in teaching here in Nicaragua during the weekdays. On the weekends he went to various locales to check out the sites. One weekend he went to Ometepe and met this couple from Norway who are students in the USA. Well, he passed them our information and recommended them to stay with us when in Managua.
Unfortunately for them, they booked a cheap hostel in the downtown Managua area instead of making a reservation with us at the Farmstay. When arriving on the last bus from Leon, they decided to walk the few blocks to their hostel instead of hiring a taxi for a couple of dollars to take them there safely.
Since it was nighttime and they were not paying very much attention to their surroundings, a motorcycle came up to them and grabbed her purse which unfortunately held their passports and student visas. No one was hurt, thank goodness, but I'm sure it was scary for these two young people.
We got the call then, since they literally had no one else on whom they could rely upon to help them in their situation. The couple ended up having to stay with us for about one week to get their emergency passports and visas arranged. We even went to the police station with them so that they could make a statement and report the crime, helping translate and to ensure that the police did their part of the job.
Now that's what I call customer service! Here are some other great reviews if you would like to peruse them…TripAdvisor Review 1, TripAdvisor Review 2, TripAdvisor Review 3, etc. etc.

Residents of Oju LGA of Benue State have been groaning under blackout due to outage caused by Obi youth miscreants.
As alleged in an eyewitness account, a mixture of a band of lawless and disorderly youths and some disgruntled elderly men from Ogore community in Obi LGA of Benue State went wild on the eve of Easter against PHCN's installations in the area, thereby plunging the entire Oju LGA residents in black out.
In their rampage, the miscreants felled to the ground, wrecked and vandalized the electricity poles, about five of them, that hold the wires which supply light on national grid to Oju LGA.
No one has been able to get any of the youth to speak on their grievances or the reason for such a barbaric act, but it was gathered that law enforcement agents had since arrested some village chiefs over the ugly development.
Meanwhile, sources have been saying that some parts of the community where the vandalism took place had not been enjoying electricity for some time despite complaints made to PHCN, to no avail.
Therefore, the "youths were angered by the outage in their village whereas Oju and Adum East were enjoying light and went and destroyed the poles, as a result of the anger."
It was learnt that was the second time the notorious Obi youths had done the same thing. The first time they went scot-free.
Obi LGA is home to the House of Representatives member for Oju/Obi Federal Constituency, Hon. Samson Okwu as well as the Deputy Majority Leader of BHSA, Hon. Nick Eworo, among other top members of the present government in the state.

Industrial computers are said to be more durable when compared to the standard PC available commercially. This is perhaps the single biggest advantage of industrial PCs over their commercial competitors.
Still, despite being highly durable, this does not exactly make industrial computers immune to damages. These things can still take place especially in industries where the computers are exposed to extreme, if not dangerous, working conditions. Industrial computers are just like regular human workers in the sense that they can break down at some point in time, especially after many years of service.
On occasions when these computer types end up getting immediate repair, the firm involved usually has a resident technician that can do the work. If the repair involves simple troubleshooting work, the PC should be up and running in a matter of minutes. This is usually good news for company officials as down time issues are avoided, thereby preventing the occurrence of unnecessary expenses.
However, this is not always the case especially when the current specifications of a given industrial computer can no longer support existing production requirements. This is something that many maintenance personnel are unable to handle given the limited training extended to them.
Given this, extensive training for maintenance experts is normally recommended, although these days, numerous manufacturers of industry-based PC systems have been able to design features that enable many technicians to perform maintenance work quite easily. This indicates that further training can be done away with as maintenance people simply need to make themselves familiar with the latest software being developed.
Industrial Computers, as they currently stand, have evolved immensely that many of their features are now at par with those found in commercial PCs. Additionally, these computer types have been able to retain many of their original designs, and this has made them highly preferred by various businesses, even by those in the small and medium-based sector.

Not surprisingly, nothing will happen regarding my complaint about my idiot professor and his idiot colleague and their behavior 20 years ago.
Does it matter?
Probably not. I hope that these people at least asked them about it, and if so then they got the message that THIS WAS NOT OKAY. Which was really all I wanted anyway. Also, I feel better for having done something. It was too little and too late, but I feel like I harpooned a darkly swimming creature in my psyche. Got THAT one. Ha ha!
And now I have knowledge I lacked before. I know, firsthand, how, well, ABUSIVE abuses of power are, and how predatory the abusers are. I know how the victims feel good about themselves ("he likes ME, I'm getting so much attention") and cannot see what is happening. I know how others can conspire to keep this behavior in place to save their own skins. Before these memories chose to rise up, I didn't get any of that. I thought I would never fall for crap like that. I certainly never thought that I HAD FALLEN for it and that it would really mess me with me for so long.
So, young girls, women, boys, men, anyone approached by someone in a position of power over you...it's probably janky. Please tell someone, and if, as with me, that person does nothing, tell someone else. Even if you're not sure it's wrong. Someone else needs to decide that.

Ordinary ideals of Americana range as far and wide as the North American continent. The valued conviction of one American vastly differs from that of another. Joe from Santa Fe may have little connection with Joe in South Bend or Joe in South Boston.
One may celebrate adventures in mysticisms. Another may find inspiration sitting in a college football grandstand. While a third struggles to free himself of the orthodox hobgoblins that suffocate his soul.
Until Donald Trump came along, the story of the national struggle, as outlined by the discredited mainstream media, had been told with delicate regularity. The news was professed from the locus of the two party political system…any diverging views were carefully sifted out.

my interpretation of voldemort
isnt the slitted red eyes how he was supposed to be in the books? i never read them but thats what ive heard. if thats true i can understand why they changed it in the movies XD
thanks for nice comments i havent used deviant art in a while i should really re do this! i know hes a little muscular but just my version!
it reminds me of Voldemort in the first film, kind of more grotesque, and I love it!
No offense to Ralph Finnes, but this rocks!
And THAT is going to give me nightmares. I guess that means you did an excellent job!
yeah I like this so much better!
way to give me night mares... :3
beats the crap outta the movie version. nice job dude.
This is just perfect! You have achieved what the movie makers have failed to create! I am in love...
the top half of his head looks exactly how i imagined ( if you cover a bit above the nose and below), and altogether so much more threatening and altoghether better than the movie version. also suits the title 'dark lord'. again so much better than the movie version
Much better than the movie versions. Much more malevolent and looks far more powerful. Reminds me a bit of Darth Bane from the Star Wars EU. Love it
better than the movie version
thx peeps,
i am definitly gonna finish this at some point, i forgot i had done it :/
i am definitly gonna finish this at some point, i forgot i had done it :/
Oh mai gawd, i just jizzed.
I really like your interpretation of Voldemort! He's absolutely creepy yet there's still a hint of the handsomeness it mentions in his younger years! Very well done!
Wow °0°
Oh my God, it's really beautiful! He's like I ever imaginate him, and even if Ralph Fiennes is a great actor, I think your interpretation of Voldemort is more beautiful and "sexier" than his
PS: I'm sorry for my English, but I'm italian and I 've probably made some errors byeee!!
PS: I'm sorry for my English, but I'm italian and I 've probably made some errors byeee!!
nice! i love how you made him burley, and muscular, instead of the typical skeleton stuff.
He looks like Bruce Willis.
That's a pretty good Voldemort. I like it better than the horrible interpretation they have of him in the movies.
freaky! good, but freaky!
You made him buffy and sneaky at the same time! How the hell did you do THAT?!
Looks better than the movie's...
Looks better than the movie's...
tath's freakin' awesome! i really love it .. it's a fav!
Rugby Voldemort, lol
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! The best Voldy I've ever ever seen! I think he looks like the Voldy from Sorcerer's Stone. Outstanding job!!
awesome job
Love it, but I think Voldemort is a bit skinnier (dunno if it's correct )
Love this voldemort picture it really captures his description, congrats!
That is incredibly scary!!!!
Wow... Now he looks like an Unreal Tournament Character now..
that is fucking terrifying
That is so scary and cool. U made him look very snake-like, which is brilliant. I love the veins coming out of his face and neck. It's awesome to say the least.
Wow, that's the best Voldemort I've ever seen. He looks just like I imagined, except mabye a little thicker in the neck than I'd have thought. I love the skin tones you've used and the eye colors especially.
very,very,very good job,except the fact that I imagined voldy eith his neck a bit more thin but it's a great job!

cabgodfrey Review
Nice, but pricey
This 3 piece set is deceiving because if you order the twin, it's a 2-piece set. It is only a comforter and sham, does not come with a bed skirt and the quality isn't great. You can buy this set at a store for much less. However, the pattern and color are very attractive and it gets the job done. Just be sure to shop around first.

Here is a simple recipe that's perfect for the baskets of hedgerow fruit that you can collect this season. Fagiolo Rampicante – Climbing French Beans. Purple Podded Peas. I waited for what seemed like an eternity for the beautiful purple podded peas to mature this summer I was so looking forward to them. Fresh peas from the garden are sweet and tender and good enough to eat raw straight from the pod or tossed into a quick salad. They are also lovely as a soup. Here is a traditional mint and pea soup which I make with a little extra spice and coconut flavour. Musselburgh Leeks. The best thing about February is getting inventive with harvest from the garden and using other ingredients in the freezer and the cupboards to make something delicious. In these winter months soups are a mixture of loveliness harvested this month and those stored from the summer. Blue Skinned Pumpkins. Autumn brings the maturing of pumpkins and squashes. As we turn our collars a little the autumnal weather finds me seeking richer colours, sweeter tastes, herby infusions in addition to more weighty meals. This recipe is sweet and warm using lots of nice grains and pulses. Toss in some cashews and raisins made each mouthful of this warm meal sumptuous explosion. Perfect for any autumn day.

Keeping Your Computer Virus-Free
Computers and Viruses by A. Tate
Picture is credited to "http://infolific.com/technology/software-worth-usi...
Information credited to "http://computer.howstuffworks.com/worst-computer-v..."
Viruses can harm your computer in many ways from mild viruses,which do nothing more than annoy you,to severe viruses,which can cause damage to your computer if not taken care of. One of these viruses is called Nimda.
Nimda is one of the severe viruses. It is currently unknown who made this virus. The way this virus works is that all icons are replaced with skull icons,but it doesn't stop there. The attacker also gains the same amount of power the computer owner has. For example,if the victim has limited abilities for the computer,the attacker also has limited abilities as to what they can do to the computer. However,if the victim is an administrator,the attacker has full control over the computer,which can lead to the attacker to be able to make the computer erase and create files that the victim may or may not be alerted about.
5 Tips to Keep Your Computer Safe from ANY VIRUS
- Keep Anti-Virus software up to date
- Do not download anything unfamiliar,such as a email from someone you do not know.
- Do not download anything unless you know you will not be affected,no matter who or where it came from.
- If you get a popup asking questions such as,"You just won an iPad,come claim it now!" or "You are the 100,000 winner in Chesapeake...",DO NOT CLICK ON IT! Once you click on it,you have allowed the virus to attack your computer! You may think it is real,but all it's trying to do is hypnotize you into thinking that you can really get an iPad,but while you are "getting that iPad",the virus is doing things to your computer.
- Make sure that when you first turn on and login into your computer,all of your anti-virus software are on and updated.

Integration Request for Less Annoying CRM (LACRM)Asked by Johnathan Cooke on October 01, 2016 at 07:56 PM
I run an IT Training Program in the UK and we use/teach Less Annoying CRM on our course. I've heard good things about your forms (at the moment we use createform) and we're interested in moving over, but I notice you don't have a plugin to integrate data with LACRM.
Is this something you have planned/could do?
JotForm Support
Hi John,
Thank you for your interest with JotForm.
We do not have plans or similar feature requests about that but I have escalated that as a feature request so it will be considered for future implementations.
FYI, we put a priority on feature requests, the more users requesting the same feature the higher priority it would get. This may not be added in a short period but rest assured once this is implemented you will be informed here.
Thank you!
JotForm Support
By the way, you might want to consider the CRMs available for integration with JotForm.

We don't really know when Samsung Fascinate will receive it's much awaited Gingerbread update officially, but if you have root, then you can easily get it up and running on your phone now. The credit for unearthing, testing and making this early leaked Gingerbread build flashable goes to P3Droid at My Droid World forums. Bugs are expected in this Gingerbread build for Samsung Fascinate but P3Droid, along with other Android developers and hackers, has optimized this build to work as your daily driver. Daily Driver means that all major features such as radio, Audio, Wi-Fi, Data, Camera etc. work perfectly fine without encountering force-closes or other glitches.
Here is video preview of P3Droid's Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM for Samsung Fascinate:
These are the release notes for this build direct from the developer:
Release notes: This is unofficial and a leak. Teamblackhat, Mydroidworld, and myself are not responsible for what you do to your phone. Installing this firmware will void your warranty (LMAO) and may cause harm to your device.
Here are some screenshots of this GB build for Fascinate:
Although everything has been reported as working perfectly fine with this build, there are some minute issues that you should know about:
- You will have to side load Netflix App as the official one, available in the market, will give incompatibility error.
- Stock Tetris game isn't working.
- Google Maps refuse to install.
You can download leaked Gingerbread ROM for Samsung Fascinate from the leak thread and then flash it on your phone using ODIN. For complete details, download instructions and installation issue, please head to the official leak thread
posted here (not available anymore).

Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd rock VS show
Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd rocked out at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City last night (10.11.15).
The trio provided the soundtrack to the annual lingerie extravaganza as the famous Angels and other models, including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, took to the runway to showcase extravagant designs across the themes of snow queens, butterflies, fireworks and carnival.
The Weeknd - real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye - was the first up and belted out hits 'In The Night' and 'Can't Feel My Face', while taking a cheeky look at Behati Prinsloo, 26, who opened the show, and Alessandra Ambrosio, 34, who soon followed.
Selena, 23, wore a black, silk plunging dress as she performed her hit 'Me & My Girls' off her new album 'Revival', and teamed the ensemble with blue contact lenses.
Ellie flew the flag for the Brits after being drafted in as a last minute replacement when Rihanna pulled out last week, singing during both the butterfly and snow queen segments of the show.
Before the show, the 28-year-old singer shared a picture of herself in a Victoria's Secret silk nightgown and sexy lingerie and joked she'd been drafted in to walk at the show.
She penned: "VS dreamz ... OMG can't believe I've been selected as one of the VS models! Joke I'm just singing.(sic)"
Last year, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Hozier performed at the show in London.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air on CBS on Tuesday, December 8.

Rosa Parks elementary school is EXCELLENT! The past principal and current principal both have put their hearts into this school to make it what it is today. You can feel the warmth when you walk into the school. The staff knows each child by name and that is very impressive. My daughter always achieves honor roll and has learned so much in her 4 years at Rosa Parks. Thank you Rosa Parks staff for giving my daughter an awesome start.
This is an excellent school. The resources seem to be used in the best way possible. Lots of technology and a fair amount of diversity in the staff...people of all ages, different ethnicities, & both genders.
This school has everything I could ask for in a school. An administration that is beyond outstanding- very in touch, caring, involved, fantastic communicators, and quickly solves any issues. The instructors (including the music, art, PE, science, etc.) are very dedicated- and passionate about what they teach. The four classroom (home-room) teachers I've got to know very well are all exceptional! The classes appropriately challenge my children. My kids always come home pleased with this school. They love school- it is fun to them and they are most certainly learning every day. I feel like my children are treated like individuals here, not just a part of a group. They are very in-tune to my kid's feelings and immediately detect something when they aren't being their normal selves- and immediately contact my husband and I. The front office staff must have the greatest memories- they know the kids by their names and our situations at home. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SCHOOL!
Great leadership. Sound basics. Solid discipline. Strong communication. Family friendly. Principal makes decisions based on what she would want for her own children. Rich activities- talent show, music programs, fitness. Excellent music program. Instruction- Committed gifted education staff. Classroom instruction varies, as w/any school. History and science are given short shrift by most teachers. A science lab is in the rotation of 'specials' each week. Reading instruction is quite strong. Writing could be more rigorous. Kids are not taught cursive in any coherent way. Mathematics is a mystery- teachers have not bought into county's new math program and so they appear to rely almost exclusively on Accelerated Math which is a pretty boring and low level test/drill/test/drill approach to math instruction. This is an area where they could improve. Technology use by teachers is above average. PTO is active and school has good resources- it is relatively new.
School and staff is excellent. They do everything withing their power to accommodate the student's needs. My son went from being labeled with ADD at a previous school to the gifted program on this one. They worked with him to see how they could help him better and in the process learned he was just bored and not challenged enough. This year he got a score of 600 on his SOL and that is a perfect score. This was possible thanks to dedicated teachers and a very dedicated and hard working principal, vice principal and encore teachers. No wonder it's been school of excellence since it opened. Every year teachers and even the principal are awarded by the county. Is by far the best school my kids have been to!
This school is great! Being a military family, our kids have gone to a couple of different elementary schools. The school offers music, art, PE, computer and science labs as part of the curriculum and the staff and administrators know just about every child by name. They study and work hard, then are rewarded for their hard work! My 4th grader just attended an Honor Roll Sleepover at the school. The teachers send home weekly progress reports as a way of communicating about your child's progress. They are a little funny when it comes to any type of holiday celebrations. The children were not allowed to dress up for Halloween--even in Halloween t-shirts and their was no mention of Christmas or Christianity in their study of holidays. They also didn't allow any holiday parties. I know this might be considered nit-picky, but it was something that bothered me.
I'll have to admit I was hesitant from the beginning about sending my children to public school. I was requested by another parent to give this school a try. Boy, am I glad I did! What an excellent staff starting with the Principal and Asst Principal. They make every effort to know each child by name, and what's going on in their lives to better understand their learning habits. This school goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I would (and have) advocate this school to any parent in this district. If you're not afraid to get involved in your child's education, you can't go wrong with this school! They are continually finding new ways to challenge and reward the students.
The school does very well in communicating to parents via monthly newsletters/bulletins and the website; however, communicating on an individual level continues to be a problem, particularly teacher-to-parent and teacher-to-child, e.g., homework and test dates/results. While the focus of the school is on achievement--recognition of excellence in SOLs, attendance, and requirements toward the IBP--the emphasis tends to be all about the school (and the school district looking good), rather than what the school and the district are doing to promote the individual achievement of the child. Perhaps one cause is that funding is attached to SOLs and IBP, but this isn't likely the entire problem.
Excellent caring teachers combined with high tech classrooms. We have been with the school for two years and love it. The kids all have so much pride instilled from the administration. The teachers provide additional resources and helpful hints when needed. Encore subjects are great and PTO is very involved. My kids love going to school. Thank you Mrs. Hart.
Wonderful administration! I can't say enough about the dedication & professionalism of the staff. Academics are top notch & the parent is constantly informed. Administration makes children feel loved & often plans special events & gifts to reward their hard work. Absolutely love this school & feel honored to be part of the rosa parks family....Oh & the pto does it all for the school...A rock climbing wall...You name it!
