Author's Note: Hmmm...I did have something but now I can't remember what it was...oh well...ENJOY! Review please please please please!!!!!
Prologue"Grow up!"
"Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, what'cha doin' Donnie? Huh, huh, huh? What'cha doin', Donnie? Wanna come see my new trick I've been workin' on? I finally got it mastered and I wanna show ya!"
"Sorry Mikey…I'm kinda busy right now."
"Aw c'mon Don!! You can spare five minutes, can't'cha?"
"Sorry Mikey."
"But Donnie! I wanna show ya it!"
"MIKEY! I said I was busy! Maybe later." Donatello snapped, annoyed that his "younger" brother would not stop pestering him. Donnie had had himself locked up in his room for the past few days working on one of his many gadgets and gizmos when his brother Michelangelo, Mikey, came bounding in, skateboard in hand. The orange masked turtle would have nearly scared five years out of his brother—if he wasn't already use to such interruptions. He had, however, become accustomed to any one of his brothers just barging in and making their presence known. Most times Donatello would stop what he was doing to listen to them, or would just nod and agree with them as they would rant and he'd be working, only half listening to them. This day though, he had already had six different interruptions—all from Michelangelo—and he had finally had enough of it.
Michelangelo's shoulders slumped and his blue eyes darkened a shade in pain. Looking around his brother's room silently, he sighed heavily and turned to leave. To him, it seemed as if everyone was getting annoyed with him. All he wanted was someone to hang out with him, like they use to when they were younger. He could remember all the times the four of them would go on adventures through the sewers, and he missed those days. Now, all they cared about were themselves and doing things that didn't involved "little brother". Every once in a great while Raphael would go hang out topside with him, but then he'd see Casey and leave Mikey to wander back to the lair by himself. Sometimes, in an even greater while, Donnie would emerge from his room long enough to play a few rounds of video games with him before retreating back into his room. Then there was Leo. Mikey didn't even wanna begin to try and remember the last time Leo ever did anything fun with him. Hanging his head, he trudged from Donnie's room in search of his other brother, Raphael.
"You're always busy." He muttered softly, heading out into the hallway of their sewer home. He spotted Raph sitting on the couch in their make-shift living room. Thinking his luck had improved, he stepped up to him just as Raph was getting up to leave.
"Hey Raph! Wanna come see that new trick I've been workin' on? It's totally awesome!"
"Love ta Mikey…but…I'm on my way out. I told Casey I'd meet 'im an' we'd go bash some heads in. Maybe latah, ok?" Sighing, Mike nodded and just stood there as Raph headed for the door.
"See ya bro-n-oh!" he called, closing the lair door behind him.
"Yeah…later…right." Answered Mikey sadly. Feeling dejected, he headed to the dojo where he knew his final brother would be practicing. He wasn't going to get his hopes up on Leo wanting to see the trick, not when he had more important things to be doing—like playing Splinter Jr. and acting like a "fearless leader"—but he was willing to take the chance. When he opened the door he saw exactly what he thought he would, well, maybe not exactly but close enough for him. Leo stood in the middle of the dojo, balancing on one foot with his eyes closed. He stood so still and silent that anyone who didn't know any better would have thought he was a statue. He didn't say a word or even shift slightly when the door opened and Mikey stepped in. Mike didn't say anything to disturb his brother, he just stood there waiting, knowing soon enough Leo would say something to him first. After a few minutes, Leo finally spoke to him.
"Yes Mikey?"
"How'd ya know it was me?" That got a small smile from his older brother. If there was one thing Leo had learned from his meditations and lessons in leadership from their Master Splinter, it was how to tell which one of them was in the room without looking at them, using only their presence to go by.
"Magic." He joked, eyes still closed. "What do you want?"
"Uh…I was wonderin' if you wanted to come see my new skateboard trick I've been workin' on. I've finally gotten it mastered and—"
"Mikey, I can't…I still have two more hours of katas to do. Go see if Don'll watch you." Leo answered, slowly lowering his left leg, placing his foot firmly on the floor and rising the right. Bringing his arms in, he placed his hands together—palms flat—and let a slow, long breath out. Mike continued to watch his brother for a few more moments before narrowing his eyes and leaving the dojo. Walking through the living room, he stopped when he reached his bedroom. Opening the door part way, he reached in, grabbed his skateboard and walked out.
"Fine…no one's gonna come watch? Everyone's too busy to watch one stupid trick? I'll go someplace where I'll be appreciated."
Guenevere sighed and closed her eyes for a moment before looking back at the man with a forced, but sweet, smile. She had been at work for almost eight hours now, and for nearly seven hours had absolutely nothing to do. She had spent most of the time watering the flowers, making arrangements for the coolers, and upgrading different plant baskets with pretty ribbons and bows. When she saw the gentleman approach the counter, she groaned inwardly but forced a bright smile at him. She knew he was going to be in a bad mood, he always was when he came up to the flower counter. What she hadn't expected though was for the man to stand there and argue with her for close to twenty minutes over whether or not she was "hiding" the good roses in the back cooler. He was never that persistent. Taking a deep, calming breath, she tried once more.
"Mr. Henson…I can assure you…again…I am not hiding the 'good' roses in the back cooler, from you. What we have out on display is all that we have left! What you see is what we got."
"You are a very rude and deceitful young lady. I want to talk to your manager!" For a little old man, the grey haired gentleman sure was obnoxious. Gwen wondered how much longer he could hold out before he finally angered himself into a heart-attack. Shaking that thought from her mind, she shook her head at him.
"My manager has gone home for the evening. If you'd like to lodge a complaint you'll have to take it up with one of the store managers." Grabbing a piece of paper and a pen, she quickly scribbled down the manager's name, along with her own. Handing it to him, the man seemed to settle down some.
"You'll be fired before the week is out." He threatened before turning and storming off, well, as much as a motorized shopping cart can allow.
"I'm sure I will be, Mr. Henson…" She answered a small smile on her face. Taking a deep breath, she leaned over the counter to watch him leave. "See you next week, Mr. Henson!" A grumbled curse came back in reply, making the twenty-two year old floral clerk smile more. Hopping down, she glanced at the clock on the phone. 7:45pm, eight more minutes and she could go clock out. Pulling her shoulder length brown hair out of it's ponytail, she shook her head some, loosening it as a shadow fell over the counter in front of her.
"I still think it's just wrong that you're always so happy to be at work." A male voice said playfully. Guenevere laughed softly and smiled, looking up at her friend Carson. Gwen had only been working in the floral department at the Sampson Supermarket for a few months and hadn't really made many friends there yet. However, Carson Pressman had at least made an attempt to talk to her from time to time as she would walk past the meat/seafood department on her way to collect her floral delivery every morning. He would always joke saying she was way to happy to be at work, to which she'd pipe back that she was happy she at least had work. Every once in a while, one or the other would go to talk to each other if they had nothing to do and Gwen was glad she had someone to talk to.
"I'm happy because in exactly eight minutes, this badge is going through the time clock and then I'm walking out the door. I've been here eight hours and have had nothing to do…all…eight…hours. It's been the most boring day of my life." She said, resting her head on her hand, leaning against the counter. Carson laughed and smiled as he leaned against the opposite side.
"Lucky. I've still got an hour left before I can leave."
"I'm sorry, Carson. But hey, at least you have tomorrow off. I've gotta be here at eight am. Wanna trade?"
"Not on your life, Gwen. Take it easy." Carson said, pushing himself up off the counter and heading back towards his own department. Gwen gave a small chuckle as she glanced at the clock. 7:52, close enough. Grabbing her memo book off the counter, she made sure things were cleaned up and hurried to the far back corner of the store where the employee break room was located. She smiled politely at the two older women sitting at a table gossiping before swiping her badge and tossing it haphazardly into her waiting locker. Grabbing her keys, she locked the small metal door and turned to leave.
It was a mild, early May evening and Gwen was glad that the sky was bright and clear. Stepping out into the warm air, she quickly untucked her red work shirt from her tan slacks. Pausing for a moment at the edge of the curb, she bent down and untied her shoes enough so that when she got home she could easily kick them off and go walking through the soft baby grass on her front lawn. She quickly crossed the near empty parking lot to her car and glanced up when she saw the most beautiful shooting star streak across the sky, a bright green tale flashing behind it. Breath caught in her throat, she watched it brighten the darkening sky before fading out just before it disappeared behind the horizon. Clamping her eyes shut, she made a wish; the same wish she'd been making since she was fifteen. Maybe this time, someone up there will listen to me for a change and give me a hand. She thought before unlocking her truck and getting in, heading home.
Raphael paced the living room like a caged animal waiting to be released and pounce its captors. He could feel his blood boiling and was reminded once more why he had been given a red bandana. He couldn't-no-wouldn't believe that his brother could honestly be so stupid as to go out and reveal himself to a bunch of strangers in the park. Granted he had done everything in powers to keep his true identity hidden, but Raph knew it was him. He had been out with Casey, patrolling the alleys and keeping the unsuspecting and ungrateful city at least a little safer when he heard the excitement at the skate park. Smirking and thinking of how much fun his brother would have a place like that, Raph led Casey over to the shadows near by and that's when he saw him.
"Are you absolutely sure it was him, Raph? Maybe it was just some teenager being a show off? There are a lot of strange lookin' teenagers in this city." Donatello questioned from his seat on the couch with his older brother Leonard, both of whom were finding strange amusement in watching Raph pace. Stopping in the middle of the room, Raphael turned a cold hard gaze at his so called 'genius' brother and scowled.
"I ain't blind Donnie…I know it was him! He was wearin' the clothes dat April and Casey bought him for his birthday last year so he could go topside to get things for his board. Da DC skater shoes, baggy blue jeans, bright orange oversized hoodie, shades…it was him."
"Yeah but Raph, lots of people wear clothes like that. That's why April and Casey got them for him."
"Alright den Leo, how about this den…he did one of his stupid stunts and den shouted 'Cowabunga'. Who, aside from Mikey, say's cowabunga anymore, huh?" He had a point. Taking a deep breath, Leonardo crossed his arms over his chest plate and frowned as he thought for a few minutes. Donatello meanwhile, got up to go retrieve a soda from their fridge when the door to the lair opened and in walked a smiling Michelangelo, skateboard in hand. He was no longer wearing the clothes Raph had described, but that didn't mean he hadn't stashed them somewhere along the way. Sliding down the railing, he landed in front of his two older brothers and glanced over at Donnie in the kitchen.
"Hey bro's! How's it going?" He questioned like it was nothing and moved past them to put his skateboard away. Clenching his fists, Raph lunged at him and tackled him to the floor of the living room.
"I knew you were stupid Mikey but I nevah thought you were that stupid!!" He exclaimed through clenched teeth. Mikey looked up at him in surprise before shoving him up and off of him and standing up.
"Hey dude, time to switch to caffeine free." This granted a snarled response from his hotheaded brother and almost a punch in the mouth if Leo hadn't been his saving grace and stopped Raph's hand before it could extend. Stepping between the two brothers, Leo crossed his arms and glared down at his 'younger' brother.
"Michelangelo, you know you aren't supposed to go topside without permission, especially not to just go play. What were you thinking? You could have gotten into seriously trouble." Mikey knitted his eye ridges together and shook his head, moving towards the fridge for something to eat.
"I dunno what you're talkin' about bro. I was out skatin' the sewers. I'm not that stupid. You guys all need to lay off the caffeine, seriously, it's messin' with your eyes or something."
"You're such a little liar!! You were not skatin' the sewers! I saw you! You were out bein' a show off at the skate park. You're the only one I know of who could give Tony Hawk a run for his money and that's what you were doin' out there." Raph snapped, his anger building inside of him by the minute. How could Mikey stand there and lie right to their faces and Leo not do anything about it? So much for Mikey being an honorable ninja. Silently, Raph vowed that he was going to kill Mikey before his next birthday for lying right to them without even batting an eye.
"Heh…a run for his money? C'mon bro, seriously. I'd kick his tail." Mikey laughed at the thought, taking a bite from his apple. He started off for his bedroom again when he was stopped, this time by all three brothers. The three other turtles looked at him with a look that, combined, could actually kill someone if they wanted. Sighing, he slumped his shoulders some and stared them down.
"Mikey you could have endangered not only yourself but also the rest of us. What if any of them had followed you?"
"Oh yeah, Leon…an evil clan of 12 year olds are gonna come an' kill us all in our sleep."
"Maybe not them, but how much ya wanna bet all those li'l kids went runnin' home to tell mommy an' daddy about the neat tricks the strange lookin' guy at da skate park was doin' an' the next thin' we know the towns folk are comin' after us wit' torches and pitchforks to do away wit' da monsters before dey can eat their little children?!"
"Raph…dude…lay off the horror movies. Nobodies done that since VanHelsing."
"They're right Mikey. You know that the topsiders still think we're the bad guys. What if you slipped up and let something slide? You could have given yourself away and we'd have no way of knowing where you were or if you were ok. That's why you gotta stay in the sewers to skateboard. You always said 'Why skate a half pipe, when you can skate a sewer pipe?' So stay down here where the skating's better anyways." Donatello said, finally voicing an opinion on the whole thing. Raph glared at the all too lenient brother and stepped forward, pressing his nose close to Mikey's. Brown eyes narrowed into cold slits, he glared at him for a moment.
"Forget that…I'm sick of riskin' my shell ta keep you outta trouble little brother. We ain't little kids anymore!! Hell, we ain't even teenagers anymore! Why don't ya start actin' yer own age!?" Michelangelo took a few steps back and for the first time ever felt as if his brothers really did hate him, and that thought hurt him badly. Straightening his shoulders, he glared back at Raph and tossed the rest of his half-eaten apple into the garbage can. Pushing past the three of them, he placed his hand on his door and turned back to look at them.
"So what? Just cuz we're not kids or teenagers anymore, that means I can't still have fun? Where's the fun in actin' your own age then if ya can't have fun anymore? Do katas for 5 hours a day? Spend most of the day and night out beating people up? Or…Or lock myself away in my room for days on end and not pay attention to any one or anything? What do you guys want from me? Cuz I just wanna have fun and spend time with my bro's."
"We want you to GROW UP!!" The three brothers exclaim. Those words stung Mikey worse than any beating from the Foot ever could. He felt truly betrayed by his brothers. For as long as they had been brothers he was always the laid back one, the one who always possessed the innocence of a child which sometimes annoyed –though mostly refreshed- his brothers with his crazy antics. Yet here they were telling him he needed to grow up? Growing up was overrated, and his brothers were prime proof of that. If growing up meant he couldn't have fun anymore, then Mikey was all the more determined never to. Standing a little taller, Mikey turned and slammed his bedroom door causing the pictures to shake slightly.
Leonardo sighed heavily and unfolded his arms. Looking between his brothers, he turned and moved off towards the dojo. There was nothing more to say to Mikey, he knew how they felt, and they now knew how he felt about the matter. Having been followed by Raphael and Donatello, he turned to look at them. Donatello was always the more reasonable one in the family. He's rather talk things out than start a fight over things; Leo liked that best about him. Raphael on the other hand, would rather punch first, ask questions later. Despite that, Leo did have to give him credit for always being the one to look after the others when he couldn't, and would usually be the one who bore their problems for them. In their own rights, Leonardo supposed that, maybe they all had been pretty much grown up their whole lives and never knew it since it was so normal for them. Yet, what was it about growing up that scared their brother so much that he refused to do it? Frowning, he sighed and shook his head.
"Just leave him alone for the night. We all could use some rest. We'll work things out in the morning." Leo states before turning to go meditate before going to bed. Raph scoffs at that and leaves Donnie to stand in the dojo by himself. Sighing, Donnie glances out the door of the dojo and into the living room. Spying a picture of the four of them with Splinter from when they were younger, he felt a small twang of pain in his chest. The picture had been taken by April shortly after they had become friends. It showed Splinter sitting in his grungy old chair, like he does so often and though you couldn't see it you could tell that he was smiling from the bright shine in his brown eyes. Sitting in front of him, looking like the biggest suck-up in the world, was Leonardo. Donnie had to chuckle softly, remembering how Raph always would call him "Splinter Jr." To Splinter's right in the photo was himself, giving a slightly shy smile with his hand resting on the armrest of the chair. To the left was Raph, looking all too annoyed but forcing a half smile anyways. He had one hand hanging down to the side but his right hand was reaching up to smack Mikey in the back of the head. Mikey was standing behind the chair, smiling brightly and innocently though both hands were extended to give Raphael and Donatello bunny ears. The bunny ears had appeared so suddenly that April didn't have to time take her finger off the shutter button before the picture took. Smiling and shaking his head, Donnie turned and headed back to his bedroom, hoping to get some rest before they'd have to try and talk to their little brother again in the morning.

A Girl Called Problem by Katie Quirk
I have a thing about books set in other countries, especially African countries. Africa fascinates me for some reason. A Girl Called Problem is set in Tanzania in the early 1970's when President Julius Nyerere encouraged Tanzanians to participate in his program of ujamaa, a socialist strategy emphasizing family and collective farming, to improve the economy and the living conditions of Tanzania's poor and rural tribal peoples.
Wikipedia is not complimentary about the implementation and results of ujamaa:
"Collectivization was accelerated in 1971. Because the population resisted collectivisation, Nyerere used his police and military forces to forcibly transfer much of the population into collective farms. Houses were set on fire or demolished, sometimes with the family's pre-Ujamaa property inside. The regime denied food to those who resisted. A substantial amount of the country's wealth in the form of built structures and improved land (fields, fruit trees, fences) was destroyed or forcibly abandoned. Livestock was stolen, lost, fell ill, or died.
In 1975, the Tanzanian government issued the "ujamaa program" to send the Sonjo in northern Tanzania from compact sites with less water to flatter lands with more fertility and water; new villages were created to reap crops and raise livestock easier."
In A Girl Called Problem the picture of ujamaa is much rosier. In the book the people of the fictional village Litongo move to a new place to participate in President Nyerere's utopian project. Thirteen year old Shida (whose name means "problem") believes that she and her mother have been cursed because her father died when Shida was born, but she knows that in the new village she will have a chance to go to school and to learn from the district nurse the thing she wants most to learn, how to be a healer.
Shida's grandfather, Babu the village elder, tells the people that they should move to the new village, Nija Panda, for the sake of all Tanzania, and most of them do, although some are reluctant and fearful of the ancestors' curse. This book is largely about reconciling the old ways with the new, what to keep and what to throw out. and about the sources of fear and strategies for confronting that fear. Shida listens to her elders, especially her mother and Babu, but she also respects and wants to learn from her schoolteacher and from the village nurse.
The book tells a good story about a girl coming of age in a time of change and stress, but two things bothered me about the context and setting. First of all, the author strategically ends her story before the failure of the ujamaa villages, a failure which was stark and catastrophic: "Tanzania, which had been the largest exporter of food in Africa, and also had always been able to feed its people, became the largest importer of food in Africa. Many sectors of the economy collapsed. There was a virtual breakdown in transportation. . . . Nyerere left Tanzania as one of the poorest, least developed, and most foreign aid-dependent countries in the world."
In addition to glossing over the political situation, the author indicates that Shida's mother is suffering from what appears to be mental illness, and again, as in two other middle grade fiction books that I read within the last month, the mother makes a quick and sudden recovery as a result of no intervention or therapy or anything. She simply decides not to be depressed anymore? If it were that easy, then no one would ever suffer from what we call clinical depression. Maybe Shida's mom was just being a stubborn, self-centered old lady when she spent two weeks in the darkness, lying on her cot and refusing to move to Nija Panda. However, whatever the issue, sin or mental illness or both, she certainly makes a brilliant turnaround when the story comes to its climax and Mother Shida (women are called by the name of their oldest child) is needed to tie the loose ends together and make the story turn out well.
I enjoyed reading A Girl Called Problem myself, but I wouldn't recommend it for impressionable middle grade readers who might get the wrong idea about the glorious efficacy of socialism and about the cure and treatment for mental illness and fear and selfishness. Julius Nyerere, who retired from government in 1985 and died in 1999, is still quite popular and even idolized in Tanzania, by the way, and in 2005 a Catholic diocese in Tanzania recommended the beatification of Nyerere, who was said to be a devout Catholic.

Bradley Cooper & Suki Waterhouse Are Still Going Strong At Sundance
Did you watch the SAG awards this weekend? Aside from being insanely entertaining, if you were watching closely something very important was happening: Bradley Cooper brought a date to the show. And it wasn't his mom.
It was his 22-year-old girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse. They were all lovey-dovey at the table together, and at one point Suki even sat on Bradley's lap–also her hair was awful. You can see the two of them SAGing it up here.
And just a few days later, here are Bradley and Suki at Sundance. Do we buy that this is real now?
Jennifer Lawrencecause she's too young, and then he went and found Suki, who is even younger than Jennifer.
Then there was that whole Paris park thing. Remember? They were laying in a park together reading Lolita. Yeah, you read that right. It was just so weird, I thought this has to be fake.
But guys, they've been "faking" it for awhile now. What if this is real? I will be amazed. And I'll applaud Suki, because it's hard to date a guy 17-years older than you. Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Bradley and Suki in Park City. Thoughts on the relationship realness? Sound off in the comments!

Sky Yarlett is Senior Student Engagement Officer, working on the Universities Programme at the UK Parliament. Sky's team work to connect students and academics to the work of UK Parliament. In particular Sky is responsible for designing and delivering a programme of student engagement work including a pilot Student Leaders training programme which will launch in September 2017.
Sky is able to offer advice on:
Drop-in session with Rachel Soper, the Ethical Supply Chain Coordinator in the Trading Support team at NUS. Support will be available for questions on ethical purchasing, boycotts and Fairtrade.
We work with many Students' Unions all over the country, on matters such as incorporation, governance, employment advice and queries about ultra vires matters and the role of societies within Students' Unions. Our team includes an ex-sabbatical officer and a current committee member of a Students' Union, which means we have an intimate understanding of the unique legal issues which Students' Unions face.
Jan is the specialist focussing on organisational and business strategy within the charity and education sectors at the consultancy Greenhouse Ltd, having been involved in turnaround throughout his career.
He has founded two successful companies and has worked with numerous Students' Unions on organisational strategy, gap analysis, and commercial business development.
Pop along to our UnionCloud drop-in session where you can meet a member of our UnionCloud team! We'll be hosting an informal, drop-in surgery where you can ask any questions that you may have. Whether you're a current user or an SU interested in finding out more about UnionCloud, everyone is welcome, come along and say hi!
Hour long sessions:
Welcome to NUS (Shakira Martin -NUSUK President and Simon Blake - NUS CEO) Concourse Suites 19 & 20
This session is for newly elected officers and recently recruited staff. Simon and Shakira will give you a bit of context to the National Union of Students, how we work, and some of our amazing shared achievements. This session explores how to get the most out of NUS during your time in the student movement.
Estranged students are three times more likely to drop out of their University degree course than the average student!
We want to work with you to change that.
The Estranged Student Solidarity Campaign (ESSC) is a partnership initiative between NUS and the charity Stand Alone. It encourages SUs across the UK to stand in solidarity with estranged students and their struggle to be recognised and supported throughout the higher education sector. The campaign will help you lobby your university at a grassroots level to raise awareness and inspire change.
This session is the official launch of our campaign and will focus on defining estrangement and explaining the aims and objectives of this initiative with real life case studies of current estranged students. The session is aimed at both senior managers and SU sabbatical officers.
Working collaboratively (Kat Stark - CEO, UWLSU) Concourse Suite 27
Are you in a collaboration with another organisation or people right now? Are you thinking about entering into a new collaboration? Are you having problems in a collaboration? Or would you like to make a collaboration better? This is a live surgery where we will be using a Collaborative Methodology and Toolkit – developed specifically by and for students' unions – to work through your collaboration scenario and hopefully improve the experience and impact it has!

Portraits for Life Program…A Child of May
Posted on May 19, 2017
"Delights in God" is a traditional color studio portrait that is classically lit to show the delicate features of the child. They grow up so fast! This little guy was soooo much fun to photograph but he only had about 20 minutes to share with us in the studio and he was DONE! Not surprising, the smallest ones always dictate the session. Thank you for participating in our Portraits for Life Program and happiest of 1st Birthday photos to you Mr. K!
Portraits for Life Program…April's Child
Posted on May 17, 2017
"Blessed with Grace" is a painted portrait that was done as part of our Portraits for Life Program. The whole process begins with a children's portrait session that lasts about an hour and is all about having fun, playing dress up, and smiling for the camera. It is in the process of play and directed posing that the child and I get to know each other. When she eventually becomes comfortable she reveals a timeless pose, one that is not too smiley or silly and that will stand the test of time. Once that pose is selected from the proofs it is time for the painting process to begin. Dabs of color are added in digitally to the image and then manipulated with various brushes to create the painting. Next the image is printed on a canvas textured paper and this time painted with acrylic glazes by the artist to extend longevity and to enhance depth of color in the finished painting. It is then gallery framed for years of viewing enjoyment.

Hello! This is my first post here and I have to say that the forums here have been incredibly helpful for me. I'm still very new to Teradata, and I'm still struggling with a problem in how "LIKE" is handling strings in some of my queries. I'll lay out what I'm trying to accomplish:
I'm trying to search within a string for a block of eight numbers, which always begin at the start of the string. If the first eight characters are not all numbers, it should return nothing.
How I approached this was to do a substring to get it down to eight characters and then check to see if each character was in the range 0-9:
case when substring(String_Cell from 1 for 8) not like '[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9],[0-9]' then '' else substring(String_Cell from 1 for 8)
I also tried this, but got the same result:
case when substring(String_Cell from 1 for 8) not like '[0-9]' then '' else substring(String_Cell from 1 for 8)
My problem is that this when trying either of these I don't get any results, everything returns the empty string, even the ones that start with eight numbers. Eliminating the "LIKE" statement and simply going with the else statement includes results that don't make sense.
Am I understanding the usage of "LIKE" correctly? It appears as though "LIKE" is ID'ing whitespace as being "like [0-9]".
For example "Trv Chd Care" returns "Trv Chd ".
I've looked at other ways of doing this other ways, like with REG_EXP, but due to systems limitations I think that I'll have to do it the way I've outlined above.
Thanks for the help!
Teradata's LIKE is the same as Standard SQL's LIKE, only "_" and "%" are supported as wildcards. The syntax you're trying seems to be MS SQL Server...
If you're on TD14 you better go for a regex instead of CASE/LIKE:
REGEXP_SUBSTR(x, '^[0-9]{8}')
Dieter, this is precisely what I needed, I just tested it and it worked perfectly. I had tried using REGEXP before, but I must not have been using the correct syntax because I kept getting errors that said something like "cannot find function".
I'm not sure how I got mixed up into using MySQL syntax, but I'll just chalk that up to the fact that I'm a finance guy trying to learn to code :)

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Learn about Sam Houston State mens soccer schedule, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches want to hear from serious recruits throughout their high school career. Don't be shy to send videos of your best games to college coaching staff or scouts. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Sam Houston State Soccer information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Sam Houston State.
Stay in great shape, even through the off-season. Being physically fit includes knowing about nutrition, staying healthy, and not overworking your body before big games. Practice the basics, over and over, especially targeting skills related to your position. Become a super-specialist, and you'll always find your place on an athletic team. Keep your eyes on the ball, and sacrifice your body if you must, but don't drop the ball.
Watch the ball all the way into your hands, and get a good initial grip. Your sixth sense needs to be developed to stay aware of other players at the same time. Follow the advice that college coaches give you, and it will make a big difference in how you play. That's because most college coaching staff were star players at some point in their careers. Washington Adventist University field hockey may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Sam Houston State mens soccer schedule, you may think about Bossier Parish Community College academic requirements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

This wikispace is part of Project 2 for class. I have chosen to assign a wikispace for your project because, unlike a paper, a wiki is a social space in which you can create knowledge, share ideas and collaborate with each other. Group projects are sometimes challenging because it is unclear who is doing the work--all of that is actually visible and traceable on a wikispace page. The tab above labeled "history" allows any of us to actually see every prior version of a page and who made the changes.
The wiki is also a space that stays in place even after we leave class in April. I have used wikis in my classes before, and students still return to the resource they've created especially to learn more about the topics their peers have written about.
A couple of notes about this wikispace:
- Any of you can see every page and its history, edit any page, create new pages, create links to pages in the wiki, create links to pages outside of the wiki, edit the navigation space and edit the front page of the wiki. In fact, doing all of that is part of the project.
- Anything you type and save on your pages can be viewed by any member of this space, even after you've gone back in and changed it.
- Our space is private. No one but members of the space can view it and no one but members of this space can edit it. In order to protect your privacy, this space will remain private even after we have left class. After one year, I will very likely delete the space though as it costs $5/month to retain it as a private space.
- If you are using a public computer, LOG OUT after you've worked on the page. If you remain logged in, in the unlikely event that the next user of the computer visits the wikispaces page, they will actually be logged in to the space.
Some notes on your assignment:
- For your assignment, you will be creating a wiki resource on feminism in the country you have chosen to research. This will accompany the in-class presentation that you give and will take the place of a more formal paper.
- You must edit the pages of your group members. You must create new pages.
- Do not edit the pages belonging to other groups. If you have a suggestion for a change (major or minor) or an idea for the page, please post that under discussion on that page.
- The front page of our wikispaces (this page) is up to you to change. I will save this information in a page you can find in the navigation space named Project Guidelines. Feel free to change the front page at any time.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life." Psalm 143:8
I love early mornings. There is nothing I love more than sitting in my bed with a hot cup of coffee and a great Bible study laid out in front of me. I actually get giddy just thinking about it. It is my favorite part of every day.
I love early mornings because it is the one time of day that I feel complete solitude. The sun hasn't risen, my roommates are asleep, the house is completely silent. It's my time with Jesus, and there is nothing to interrupt me. No one is going to text me, no one is going to walk into my room, and it's much too early to think about homework or to-do lists. It's my time. It's my time to read and write and pray and be filled with an energy that will carry on for the rest of the day. My mornings are a precious, treasured gift. I hear Jesus speak clearly and lovingly and directly in those wee hours. It's just me and Him.
But it hasn't always been this way. The thought of early mornings used to make me shudder and cringe, maybe even shed a tear. I love my sleep, and I will sleep forever if the world lets me. So early morning quiet times were not just something that didn't sound fun or necessary, but to me, they actually sounded impossible/relatively like torture. But as my nighttime schedule amped up with more dinners and friends and meetings and homework, and as I became more and more tired each night, and opened my Bible less and less frequently before going to sleep, I realized that something needed to change. My usual night time quiet times were failing. I was going to need to be a morning person.
So my sophomore year of college, my roommate Stephanie and I did something that I have never once regretted. We set out alarms for 6am, and made a pact to wake up together, every morning, to spend time with Jesus. We didn't do the same study, or talk a whole lot about it, we just committed to holding each other accountable to waking up and opening our Bibles.
It wasn't easy. Honestly, it was really, really hard. Starting that habit did not happen overnight. It was a full four months of struggling with the desire to snooze every morning, and being reminded lovingly by my roommate to get my a** out of bed. Some mornings, it was me reminding Steph to get her a** out of bed. And some mornings, we both caved in and no one reminded us to get our a**es out of bed. It was a daily battle, but a battle that we continued to fight, and eventually, something magical happened.
In that semester, everything changed. Christ claimed victory over my battle with the alarm clock, I fell in love with 6am mornings and I fell in love with the Word of God, and my priorities did a 180. I began to love mornings so much, that when my college schedule turned into a student teaching schedule, I voluntarily turned my alarm back yet another hour to make sure I had time with Jesus before heading into a classroom full of 1st graders. I was excited to get out of bed, and I felt a difference in my days. I felt full of life, and energy, and I believed the things that my Creator said about me and spoke to me each morning.
Today, two years later, my alarm goes off at 5. And I wake up.
Together, Stephanie and I began a habit that will last me the rest of my life.
I believe in the power of spending time with a Creator and a Savior who loves us deeply and perfectly and eternally. I believe that fighting to spend time with Him is worth it. Sometimes that means sacrifice and inconvenience. But he blesses our efforts and our obedience and our dedication to Him. And He has IMMENSELY blessed my efforts to spend time with Him. And so I believe in Him, above all, but also, I believe in the sacredness of the mornings. I believe in the power of rising with the sun to start our days with the living and active Word of God.
Want to give mornings a shot? Sounds impossible? Tomorrow, I will share a few of the most important steps I took towards making mornings a priority. My hope is that they might turn into a priority for you, too.

Higher Education organisations have traditionally managed records and documents through paper based files and physical archives. More recently we have seen the development of integrated information and records management systems that exploit web based technologies. There is an ongoing convergence of these technologies in the commercial marketplace related to information management solutions.
Our literature review reveals that there is a gap in our understanding specifically related to the higher education sector as to how an integrated information and records management infrastructure contributes to operational efficiency. Our unit of analysis is La Trobe University, Australia, and its attempt to justify the investment required.
This exploratory study identifies the business benefits that contribute to operational efficiency through the implementation of integrated information and records management systems and discusses the nature of the factors involved. The study concludes that there is an indirect link between sound information and records management practices and operational efficiency. As this study is conducted in a contemporary organisation the learnings contribute to our existing body of knowledge from a practical and theorectical perspective.

- Time: 01:28
Description: To view the full length hi-resolution version visit Mount Equinox at mountequinox. This week we are featuring two young twinks. Alex is a hot European with blue/grey eyes with a piercing in his eyebrow, nice set of abs lightly covered with a happy trail, uncut cock and dirty blond hair. Sam is the dark haired Latino hotty featuring a perfect little baby face with a sexy little happy trail. Alex displays some nice tongue work on Sam's shaft as he sucks his cock working it good by stroking it up and down at the same time he is sucking him off. Alex buries his tongue deep into Sam's Latin ass giving him a nice ass eating. After Alex has Sam all worked up our hot European fucks our little Latino boy while pushing his legs back over his head pounding his ass as he is standing on the bed leaning over him watching him as he enjoys every thrust of his bare cock deep in his ass. Later Sam takes control and gets on top for awhile as he bounces up and down on Alex's bare cock. Once our European can't take any more he pulls his cock out of Sam's ass and dumps his hot load in his mouth and Sam eagerly takes it all. Our European of course obliges and takes our Latinos hot load of cum as well finishing with a passionate cum swapping kiss.

Do I just get a mirror exactly one half size of the image I want and bounce the image off of the miurror at the half way point of my throw distance? seems like that would work with any projector just different projectors would give me different throw distances.

Auburn QB Nick Marshall remorseful for marijuana citation
Speaking for the first time since he was cited for marijuana possession on July 11, Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall was remorseful on Sunday.
"I made a mistake and I'm just trying to gain the trust back from my coaches, my teammates and Auburn's fans," Marshall told reporters, according to ESPN.com's Greg Ostendorf. "I'm just going to accept my punishment with open hands.
"The incident that happened is just going to change me and make [me] a better man."
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn has said Marshall won't start the team's opener against Arkansas, but didn't say how long he will hold the senior out. The 22-year-old said he had a "man-to-man conversation" with Malzahn.
Marshall threw for 1,976 yards with 14 touchdowns and six interceptions last season, as the Tigers advanced to the BCS Championship Game. He also rushed for 1,068 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Alex Iwobi has revealed how England failed in a last-ditch bid to switch countries back from Nigeria.
The Arsenal midfielder, 21, played in Three Lions youth teams before deciding to play international football for the country where he was born.
"Originally, I'm from Nigeria. I always felt comfortable there. It was a hard decision because I'd played for England but I felt more at home there. When I first went they treated me like royalty, like a king. It's a big thing there to play for Arsenal too."

What do I need for Gorilla Trekking?
We are leaving for Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania in January. We are doing two gorilla treks. What do we need in terms of shoes, clothes, etc for the trip?
Report Abuse
Number one: camera! Number two: gloves. Number three: water. Other than that, make sure you have long pants and a long-sleeved shirt that is made of fabric resistant to bristles. (I didn't have that, everyone else on my trek did and it's recommended though I didn't have any problems.) You might want a lighter top underneath in case you get hot. Finally, comfortable walking shoes that you don't mind getting really muddy. I was on one of the easiest treks, so there wasn't much climbing, more like uphill hiking, but if you end up on a tougher trek it would probably be rewarding to have some mountain boot-type shoes or at least high-top sneakers with good tread on the bottom. I was there during the dry season so we didn't get wet but a rain slicker would be a good idea too.
It's a blast!!
Report Abuse
anyone else? What kind of gloves do I need? Do I need hightops or sneakers? TIA
Report Abuse
This is straight from ORTPN's website and should be useful for those trekking:
Gorilla Guidelines:
* To minimize possible transmission of human diseases, visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 7m (about 22 feet) from the gorillas. If you are sick with a cold, flu or other contagious illness, please do not visit the gorillas.
* Viewing time is limited to one hour.
* Maximum 8 visitors per group.
* Spitting in the park is strictly prohibited.
* Should you need to cough, cover your mouth and turn away from the gorillas.
* When with the gorillas, keep your voice low.
* Try not to make rapid movements that may frighten the gorillas.
* If a gorilla should charge or vocalize at you, do not be alarmed, stand still, look away from the gorilla and follow your guide's directions.
* Do not litter.
To enhance your enjoyment:
* The security of our visitors is our highest priorities. There is no need for concern about personal security.
* The climate in Musanze is changeable and you can generally expect both sun and rainfall during the day.
* Musanze, at 1,700m above sea level, is generally quite cold, particularly in the evening, so warm clothing is advised.
* Recommended clothing is long trousers and shirts when in the forest to avoid nettle stings.
* Study walking shoes or hiking boots are essential. You may find raingear useful.
* Bring a water bottle and a small snack although eating, drinking and smoking near the gorillas is forbidden.
* Photography is permitted, although you may not use flash
* Porters are available to help you carry your daypack for a small charge.
* Mountain gorillas live at high altitude and this may cause difficulties for some visitors. You should pace yourself, walk slowly and drink plenty of water. No one should feel deterred from making this trip.
Hope this helps!

Andrea I took leather garden gloves I got at a home improvement store. They worked very well.I took hiking boots and was very glad I did although you will find folks here that say they are not nec. We were there in Feb went to Susa group which was the furthest group. A total of 7 hrs hiking steeep sometimes muddy trails & often no trail so just bush bashing through. I was glad for the boots. The shorter trek we went on the next day I could have done with just some good sturdy walking shoes. Long pants & light loose long sleeved shirt were what I wore although I think I took the shirt off and did fine in my T-shirt. I also had a light rain jacket which came in handy on the hike back to the car & I had light waterproof pants. These were not nec but I did put them on when we were hiking down in rain & it was slippery. All it meant was my pants were a lot less muddy than my hubbys!
Have a wonderful time it is a great experience.

You are about to go on a great adventure. Hiking boots, cheap poncho that comes in a little sack,gloves to protect your hands,sweater or long sleeve shirt that you can tie around your waist when you get hot.You will drink lots of water and have that camera ready. Layer your clothes. The last time we went on the mountain in Uganda to find gorillas we were 12 hours, and came down in the dark while it was raining. They were getting ready to send search party. However would not trade that for anything. Getting ready now to go to gorillas in Gabon in July-August. Opportunity to see gorillas in three or four places during the month. Will post end of August on that if interested.

Have a great trip, Dr. Andrea.
JungleNana, you must report back after Gabon!

Please post on Gabon. I'd also be interested to hear about your trip.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 8 — Six days after President Felipe Calderón took office, federal agents raided the prosecutor's office and state police headquarters on Friday in the troubled southern state of Oaxaca, where state law-enforcement authorities have failed to arrest anyone in the killings of at least 11 antigovernment protesters and a New York City journalist.
Around 4:15 p.m., dozens of federal police officers flooded into the offices of the state prosecutor, Lizbeth Caña, and secured the arms cache used by the state judicial police responsible for investigating crimes, according to local news reports.
A police commander, Ardelio Vargas, told the newspaper La Reforma that the federal authorities intended to seize all the police weapons to determine whether they had been used against protesters in recent months. There have been widespread allegations that the local police and municipal officials had abused demonstrators and in some cases killed them.
Since May, Oaxaca has been the scene of an ugly, violent conflict between Gov. Ulises Ruiz and a coalition of left-wing and Indian organizations seeking his ouster. Over several months, protesters barricaded streets, took over the central square, seized radio stations, burned buses, scrawled graffiti and torched several landmark buildings.
The state police did nothing to restore order as the city drifted into anarchy, and pro-government thugs attacked protesters several times, usually at night. At least 13 people were shot to death, but local authorities made an arrest in only one case.
Among the victims was Bradley Roland Will, a 36-year-old independent journalist from New York City, who died of gunshot wounds he received while filming a riot on Oct. 27. That day, journalists photographed several off-duty municipal police and other officials shooting at the rioters. But state prosecutors say forensic evidence suggests that a protester, not the pro-government gunmen, shot Mr. Will at close range.
The next day, federal police invaded the city, dislodged the protesters and restored order. A month later, federal authorities arrested more than 130 protesters after another round of riots in which several landmarks were burned.Continue reading the main story
