"He curled into a ball and let out the tears. Not halting sobs, not silent tears but just pure, uncontrollable weeping that shuddered and choked through his body, unable to be held back."
Chapter 21; Aftermath
I couldn't really think properly as I was walking down and around the streets towards Gerard's house. I'd been there so often in the last few weeks I didn't even need to think about where I was going. Within ten minutes I found myself standing at the front door. I knocked once and instantly found myself being dragged into Gerard's arms - quickly enough that it would seem as if he was waiting right inside the door.
"How are you?" Gerard mumbled into my ear. I wasn't okay, so I was glad he hadn't asked if I was okay. I didn't actually know, so I just shrugged.
"I... honestly, I don't know."
"It'll be okay. I promise," he said. How can you promise you something that you can't control? Try talking to my Dad. I didn't say that out loud. I trusted him. No, I didn't just trust him; I loved him. "Come on, let's go and put your stuff down."
Gerard took me by the hand and lead me through the house towards the kitchen. I'd only been here once as a 'friend' I realized, never technically as Gerard's boyfriend. I still couldn't get my head around it - I was Gerard's boyfriend!
"Hey, sweetie. Hello Frank." I looked up from the floor and flashed a tight-lipped smile towards Gerard's and Mikey's mum. She was sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book, a briefcase full of paper and pens spread all over the table. I'd only met her for a couple of minutes a bunch of weeks ago, so I was a bit shy as I said hello - but to my surprise, she stood up and opened her arms for an embrace.
"How are you, darling?" she asked, also giving me a hug.
"I don't know," I said, again. Mrs Way frowned.
"Oh, your poor thing. Gerard told me what you told him on the phone."
"He did?" I asked, looking over at Gerard, who was now standing a bit sheepishly next to me.
"Yes. But you don't have to worry, honey. You can stay here until your parents see sense, if needs be."
"Yeah, that might be a while, my dad's a bit... thick," I said, picking at my fingernails.
"I'm sorry for that, Frank," said Mrs Way. "But seriously, I don't mind you staying here."
"You don't?"
"Of course not, honey." For the first time that afternoon, I smiled and I looked up at Gerard from his mum's kind face.
"Thank you, Mrs Way."
"Darling, it's Donna. Is there anything you don't eat?" asked Donna, standing up and walking over to the oven.
"I'm vegetarian. And lactose intolerant. And allergic to nuts," I said.
"And a million other things, knowing you," said Gerard, perching on the table. I poked my tongue out and sat next to him.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't even think about staring an argument, you two," said Donna, pointing a frying pan at us as Gerard opened his mouth to reply. He closed it again after the look from his mum. "Look, we can have a curry for dinner. It'll take a while, so you two can go argue somewhere else, if it makes you happy."
"Oh, fine. Come on, Frank," said Gerard, holding his hand out for me again.
"And don't get up to anything behind that closed door, boys!" said Donna as we walked up the stairs. I laughed and we both blushed red. Though as soon as we got to Gerard's bedroom... okay, no, don't you perverts go thinking like that!
But in all seriousness. I dumped my bag and (more carefully) my guitar case on Gerard's floor. About two seconds later I found myself walking back over to him and burying my face into his chest.
"Hey, everything okay?" he asked, wrapping his arms around me. I nodded, sighing and keeping my gaze fixed on the Misfits logo of his shirt.
"They were so upset, Gerard. Well, Mum was. Dad was furious, but I can cope with that, but it was... she looked like I'd let her down so much..."
"Tell me what happened, Frankie. Okay?" said Gerard, taking my hand and sitting me down gently on his bed. I sighed, and launched into a recollection of what had happened since I'd waved goodbye. Gerard's face remained expressionless as I spoke just gently caressing the small of my back. When I got the bit about me packing my bags, I slowed.
"I... I'd just hung up the phone... and Mum walked in... and she said that she'd 'figure something out' for me... I never actually asked wheat she'd meant. But I told her... I said I didn't actually need any figuring out, that... she looked so upset," I said, twisting my fingers together. Gerard sighed and rubbed my back.
"Do you have any idea what she might have said?"
"No. I thought it would be... well, bad. You know. It was like... oh, I don't know."
Gerard's POV
I sighed and pulled Frank closer to me. Poor Frankie. My poor Frank, I thought, after remembering what I'd said earlier that day. I'd realized something when we hadn't been able to walk along next to each other because he was terrified of his parents. They were the only thing that meant we weren't be able to physically touch each other because of something. Our friends hadn't minded, and any judgmental looks in school were just brushed off our shoulders.
I loved him. I didn't just love him, I physically needed him. My Mum had been working at home and I'd practically paced a groove in the kitchen floor with worry about Frank, texting him. She'd confronted me about it, and I poured my heart out without even realizing, close to tears.
She'd wrapped her arms around me and suggested that I call him. I'd shrugged, and that's when Frank called. My mum was still standing next to me when I told him that I love him. Mum had been studying me through the whole phone call and I almost began to rejoice when he said it back.
After then was a worried blur until the doorbell rang. I'd ben crouching down behind it, waiting for it to ring. And now I sad on the edge of my bed with Frank curled up in my arms, suddenly silent instead of rambling on, Mikey in the other room probably confused out of his brain, and Mum sitting in the kitchen wondering about me and Frank.
Then I realized an odd noise from somewhere... it took me a moment to realise that it was the sound of crying, and it was emanating from the boy curled up in my arms. It was muffled by my shirt and that he was holding the sobs back, tiny sounds that he wasn't letting to escape that made my chest ache.
I didn't know what I was supposed to say. I couldn't tell him it was going to be better, because I didn't know. Instead I adjusted my body so I was leaning on the wall and pulled Frank into an hug, his face now buried deep in my chest muffling the sounds of his crying. Every sound he made wrenched my heart, but I couldn't do anything about it... all I could do was to lie with him, murmuring into his ear gently, letting him cry out.
God knows what I'd be feeling if Mum decided I couldn't stay here. Probably an emotional wreck because everything that I'd been terrified of happening had happened... I tried to put myself in Frank's position, but I couldn't. What was it he'd told me in his first week? "I don't want to be gay, Gerard. They'd hate me..."
And what I'd overhead in Drama a week or two later, just one sentence before I'd become distracted by something else; "My parents don't even know this, it was bad enough with the hair and everything, but... don't let everyone know, I couldn't bear it..."
My poor angel. He'd stopped sobbing but was shaking like the sounds of hurt were rattling his chest but he couldn't let them out. I kissed his temple and began to brush the hair from his face, whispering gently into his ear. He curled into a ball and let out the tears. Not halting sobs, not silent tears but just pure, uncontrollable weeping that shuddered and choked through his body, unable to be held back. And every tear pulled on and tore at my heartstrings, and it was only then I realized exactly how much it hurt him. And how strong he'd been to manage not to break down until now.
"Boys?" I looked towards the door and saw Mum resting her hand on the doorframe, watching in on us. She had a bizarre expression on her face, something I couldn't read; something between sympathy, confusion and... love? I just looked at her, waiting for her to say something about what she'd just walked in on.
After a moment of silence only filled with Frank's muffled cries she said, "-Dinner's ready." And she walked out.
"Frankie," I whispered gently. He lifted his head off my chest an inch and looked at me. His cheeks were stained and his eyes were red, still brimming over with tears that left streaks down his face. But his hazel eyes glowed with green, so bright with emotion. He bowed his head again quickly and wiped his face with his sleeve.
"I'm sorry..." he mumbled, looking down at the floor. I shook my head, hushing him. "I'm sorry for being..." I hushed him again, stroking down the side of his face.
"It's dinner time," I said softly. Frank nodded and moved his knees around so his feet resting on the floor. Neither of us said anything, but he gripped my hand like it was caught in a vice as we stood up.
That night, Mum set up a spare mattress down beside my bed for Frank, but the effort to so so was wasted. I was sitting on my bed in my boxers and an oversized hoodie, reading a comic book. Frank was dithering around in the bathroom.
"Gerard?" I looked up, and my stomach practically began to a conga line with my heart. He was standing in his pajama pants, holding a toothbrush... not wearing a shirt. He had the most beautiful body - pale, slim, only very slightly toned. I had to physically force myself away from staring in hunger at him. It was at this point that I started singing inside my head going He's mine! He's mine! giggles. I was quite glad he couldn't read my mind.
After this I realized that he'd been standing in silence for a long time, his mouth hanging open like a goldfish as he tried to find something to say.
"What's wrong?" I asked after he said nothing. He dithered around on the spot for another moment, before blurting out -
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" I raised my eyebrows in question. "I... uh, I don't know if... I mean, sleeping on the floor, and..."
"Okay," I said, smiling at his awkwardness. If he was a teenage girl with long hair, he'd be twirling his hair around his fingers into a plait. And he was blushing. God he's adorable. How is it possible for one person to be so amazing?
"What are you reading?" he asked, perching himself on the foot of my bed. I held up the comic cover to him - issue 9 of Watchmen.
"How are you holding up?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders, twisting his fingers together.
"Okay. It's..." There was a long pause.
"I'm sorry," I said when Frank failed to say anything. He shook his head and settled back on the wall. I sighed and shifted off the bed, to take my turn in the bathroom. Wetting my hair so it didn't fly everywhere, taking off my hoodie because it's impossible to sleep in - I spent longer than was probably necessary, staring myself shirtless in the mirror. I felt amazingly insecure all of a sudden... scared of what Frankie might think.
Pull yourself together, man, you're never worried about things like this.
Yeah, but... it's Frank.
And he probably felt the same way, now stop being such a diva.
I turned around and walked back into my room, dangling my hoodie in my hand. Frank was still sitting in the same spot on the bed, flicking through the comic I'd left behind he looked up when I came in, and the expression on his face mirrored the feelings I'd had when he'd walked in shirtless. I grinned inwardly.
"Nice boxers," he said. I was wearing my ones covered in squirrels with the words 'KEEP AWAY FROM MY NUTS.' I grinned and sat down on the bed.
"Gerard? Don't forget your script for tomorrow!" called Mum, walking into my room again and slamming my 'Little Shop Of Horrors' script on the bedside table.
"Oh! That's where it got to."
"You're always leaving stuff all over the place. Now, tomorrow I'll be home a bit late because I have a meeting at work, but I'll leave some money so you can get pizza or chinese or something, if that's okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine," I said.
"Alright. Night, boys," she said. "Don't stay awake too late." I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue and Frank smiled awkwardly, his arms now wrapped around his knees. Mum walked out the room and carefully shut the door. I switched on the side lamp, turned off the main light.
"I'm tired," I said, yawning and stretching. I ruffled my hair again in the mirror in my wardrobe, pouted a bit and put my hand on my hip. Behind me, Frank burst out into a fit of giggles.
"Do you do this every evening?" he asked.
"Hell yes," I said. The room fell into silence as I preened a bit longer in the mirror, before shutting the door and turning to catch Frank's eye; who instantly dropped his gaze. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah... just..."
"Checking me out?" I asked cockily. Frank blushed. "I'll take that as a yes." I pranced across the room and twirled on the spot before flopping on the bed.
"You are such a diva," he said. I smiled and rolled onto my front, gazing at Frank through my lashes. He giggled his girly giggle again, and lay down beside me.
"It's funny how things just turned out from this morning, isn't it?" I asked quietly, taking his hand and playing with his fingers.
"You're not saying much."
"Would you have anything to say?" I looked into his eyes.
"I guess not." We both smiled gently at each other, Frank's still tainted with sadness, and I wrapped my arms around his warm, bare torso and brought our lips together. Tingles ran up my skin where my skin met Frank's and he snuggled closer as when pulled away. "Night."
"Goodnight," I heard him murmur as I switched off the bedside lamp. I felt his head rest on my chest as we settled, and I wrapped my arms around his shoulder, his hand rested on my stomach and I buried my face in the top of his head.
We fell asleep in each other's arms.
asdfghjkl. And other words. As I was writing that last bit I was listening to With Me by Sum 41 - it's basically the perfect Frerard soundtrack. It brought me to a sobbing, crying, wreck of a mess when I first heard it. I'm thinking of starting another high school Frerard soon.
What, Rachel, another one?!
Yes, another. Anyway, please Rate And Review, you beautiful things.

Coffee Houses played an important part in the social life of Robert Hooke. Only coffee and chocolate were served (no alcohol). Here news could be had, conversation, arguments, meetings, card games, wagers made, workmen could be paid, etc.(Hooke would sometimes carry out a scientific experiment in front of a coffee house audience as witnesses.) Hooke is shown writing (bottom left) at a table with people waiting to talk to him.

Blogger Rachel Rappaport of Coconut & Lime shares a simple salad that packs a powerful punch with blue cheese and pear.
Can't find pear juice? Use shelf-stable pear nectar instead.
If Campari tomatoes aren't available at your grocery store, substitute 2 or 3 small plum (Roma) tomatoes.
Roquefort, Gorgonzola or Stilton cheese would all be delicious in this salad.

Now that we are several years into the great clean diesel push, I was surveying the scant amount of diesels available in the current U.S. market. For all intents and purposes, it's commendable that diesel engines are available in some model lines, however, I still envision a day when there is a diesel option throughout a model's entire range. According to Volkswagen's 2010 sales figures, the TDI models now account for 25 percent of the overall sales volume. This is a good start, but what is it really going to take to make diesels more mainstream? Perhaps breaking out of its squeaky clean image and showing that diesels can compete with and in some cases exceed the gasoline motors in power and performance.
With this upcoming ec Proven series, we're testing the Golf TDI's ability to handle all the same mods that we would perform on a GTI 2.0T FSI to see if the clean diesel can become a lean, green tuning machine.
Vehicle Data
Engine: 2.0-liter I4, turbocharged clean diesel with common rail direct injection
Transmission: Six-speed DSG automated manual
Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
Mileage: 2,348
Current modifications: None
Dyno Data
Dyno type: Clayton Mustang dynamometer
Temperature: 78F -81F
Transmission test gear: Third
Dyno set weight: 3,300 pounds
Temperature: 78F
Humidity: 22%
Peak power: 122 whp @ 4011 rpm
Peak torque: 205 lb-ft @ 2439 rpm
Test Notes
The baseline and all subsequent testing were performed on the same day, utilizing the same tank of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
All horsepower and torque numbers shown are taken at the wheels. It is also important to keep in mind that the properly calibrated Mustang dyno produces more accurate real-world horsepower and torque numbers. While these numbers might seem low when compared to those gathered from a Dynojet, what is important is the differences between each dyno run. These differences are what we use to verify the validity of the manufacturer's horsepower and torque claims.
For over 15 years I have let various tuners manipulate the ones and zeroes that control the engine's performance characteristics on my car's engines and each and every time I'm amazed at what they pull out of themas with this car, for example. The 2011 Golf TDI DSG is an amazing car from the factory with its smooth and somewhat lazy torque curve, quick and precise shifts from the DSG, a sport suspension and 17-inch wheels that offer decent handling while still giving good ride comfort. So why would you really want to mess with it? It's my nature, and from past experiences, Volkswagen always leaves room for improvement with no negative effects on reliability or durability.
The biggest accomplishment of the Neuspeed Power Flash was that it made me forget that I was driving a diesel at all. It gives the perfect combination of torque with a powerband reminiscent of a gas motor. I really can have my cake and eat it too.
An added benefit of the new power curve is how perfectly it syncs with the DSG, shifting right as the power begins to taper off versus the stock program where it shifts 500 rpm after the power dip. The power is everywhere from stoplight to stoplight, high-speed freeway runs, emergency passing power, and as an enthusiast I always want more power and torquethe Neuspeed Power Flash is the perfect place to start.
I had to log numerous miles to confirm the astounding results of the Neuspeed flash in this otherwise stock Golf. With over 1,000 miles logged since the flash, I have actually noticed an increase in the overall mpg, roughly 30 miles more per tank. I was surprised considering I haven't been driving slow, and I'm permanently tweaking my girlfriend's neck from accelerating off the line at every light.
The thing I like most about the Golf TDI is that I do not miss my GTI at all. It's just as fun to drive and I get an average of 140 miles more per tank with a savings of $4 per fill-up. For those waiting for Volkswagen to bring us the 170-hp GTD, you can now create your very own at a fraction of the cost.

TSC Interviews: HDNet's Mike Straka
Mike Straka doesn't have a nickname. At least not one I know of. If he did, it would be "Maverick."
No, it's not because his boss is Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
Straka is a guy that does things off the cuff. He's professional but knows when to turn up the heat and ask tough questions, as evident on his hit show "Fighting Words" on HDNet. You'll notice a few things when watching "Maverick." His hard-hitting interview style. His well-selected attire. But more importantly, the ability to get fighters such as Frank Shamrock to open up.
The show is only a half hour long, but it manages to give MMA fans a very personal look at their favorite fighters. And who would have guessed he used to be Vice President of Fox News Digital?
But why did this former Rutgers Scarlet Knight leave the green pastures of Fox for HDNet? How did he get into this media world in the first place and become one of MMA's most respected journalists?
I got to the bottom of that and more in a recent interview with Straka. Having the chance to actually sit with him was very cool, particularly at the Ruby Tuesdays bar. Despite the fact we differ in tans, muscles, number of tattoos (I have none), and beverage preferences (He had red wine. I had a Sprite on the Rocks.), I found some common ground.
We both are mistaken for Italians (He's Hungarian-Chilean. I'm Lebanese-Venezuelan). We both went to Rutgers. And we both live in NJ. Oh, we also both love MMA. But you probably could have guessed that.
Scroll down to read my interview with HDNet's Mike Straka.
Fast Facts
- Former Vice President/Executive Producer of Fox News Digital
- Current host of "Fighting Words" on HDNet
- Wrestled for Rutgers University
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Barnegat, New Jersey.
Did you have a good childhood?
I had a great childhood. Dad was a UPS man. Mom was a nurse's aid. I went Monsignor Donovan High School in Toms River (home of UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar), where I wrestled. That's pretty much where I got a big viewpoint of the world. In Mon Don, you had people from all over. If I stayed at Barnegat, I would have gone to Southern Regional High School.
I know people who went there and they had a very small viewpoint of the world around them and I think Mon Don expanded my horizon. College wasn't a big deal for me. I had no desire to go to college. I wrestled and was good at it and that's what got me through Rutgers.
You said Mon Don expanded your viewpoint of the world. Would you say there was more diversity?

Barroso: Fiscal compact unanimity would have been preferred
European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso regrets Britain's decision to reject proposals to boost fiscal integration at the eurozone crisis summit in Brussels:
"Having seen it was not possible to get unanimity, it was the proper decision to go ahead at least with those ready to commit immediately.
"That includes all 17 in the eurozone, plus some who are not in the euro area but want to take part in this fiscal compact.
"We would have preferred a unanimous agreement. This was not possible because it required unanimity, so the only alternative that was left was through this kind of intergovernmental treaty.
Opinion Former News
"We are determined to exercise these competencies in full so we can enforce these new fiscal rules and reinforce the governments of the euro area."

When it comes to relationships with bikes they don't come much stronger – or longer – than Desmond Brown and his vintage 1912 Premier.
For the West Country octogenarian – 83 to you and me – is not only still riding, and a regular in the Pioneer Run for vintage machines, the bike that remains his No. 1 choice has been in his care now for a staggering 60 years.
His introduction to the bike was a complete fluke, and one that enabled him to snap it up for just £5 – when new 40 years earlier the 2 ½ hp, 250cc, side valve single with a three speed gearbox and clutch, was priced a luxury £44.
After teenage post-War years spent on 250 BSAs and a Rudge Ulster followed by two years' national service, Brown bought a brand new Matchless G9 500 which, in 1951, cost just under £200.
Then, the following year, came the Premier.
"I was living in Dulwich when somebody told me about a bike in a barn a few miles away in Surrey," Brown told MCN.
"I drove over and introduced myself and the farmer invited me to take a look; inside the barn was the Premier, a Beardmore Precision with a sidecar and also one of the old 'coal-scuttle' Renault cars.
"It transpired the Premier had been in the barn since 1927 so I gave him £5 for it and with the deal done took it back home. It was rusty but complete so I decided to see if it would start; amazingly I put some petrol in the tank, a fag paper between the points, kicked it over and it chuffed into life!"
Brown says that much of the work required was merely cosmetic "Although I did strip the motor and recondition the big end – the engine was beautifully made, a bit like a watch" and with spring approaching he decided to enter it in that year's Pioneer run down to Brighton, the first of many to come.

Game #15 * Friday, December 30, 2005 * 1:00 p.m. MT
Greeley, Colo. * Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion (4,500)
The Series: Eastern Michigan leads 1-0.
The Coaches: Craig Rasmuson is 58-119 (.328) in his 7th season with Northern Colorado and 124-185 (.401) in his 12th year overall.
Charles E. Ramsey is 3-4 (.429) in his first year at EMU and overall as a head coach.
Radio: Bears' Radio Network (Flagship Station - Newstalk KFKA 1310-AM in Greeley). KFKA's Troy Coverdale will have the play-by-play which starts with a 25-minute pre-game show. The broadcast can also be heard free online at UNCBears.com.

Following its break for the Christmas holiday, the University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team returns to action on Friday, Dec. 30 when they host Eastern Michigan for a 1 p.m. (MT) start.
The game is the first action for Northern Colorado in eight days, after they lost at Kansas on Dec. 22. The KU game finished a stretch of four games in nine days for UNC; the games came on a 4,800-mile road trip.
The meeting with Eastern Michigan completes a home-and-home contract that saw Northern Colorado play in Ypsilanti in Dec. 2003. EMU came out on top in that contest 82-55. Head coach Craig Rasmuson is very familiar with Eastern Michigan, as he served as an assistant coach under now Cal coach Ben Braun in 1990-91. The Eagles advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 that season. EMU first-year head coach Charles E. Ramsey is an Eastern Michigan graduate and was also an assistant for Braun at both EMU and Cal.
The game with Eastern Michigan is at 1 p.m. because the team will head out after the game to the airport and travel to Chicago to prepare to play Northwestern on New Year's Day. The Bears also matchup with Nebraska on that road trip. Following those games, UNC will play seven of its final 12 games at home.
Heading into the Christmas Break, the Bears had played 14 total games, more than any other Division I team (the second year in a row they had achieved that feat). On those games, 10 of the 14 were away from home.
Eastern Michigan: The Eagles scored a 67-62 victory over Tulsa before taking a break for Christmas, winning at home. That has been their only game since Dec. 14, meaning they will have played only once in over two weeks. On the other hand, Northern Colorado played four times in that time period. Eastern Michigan also has wins over Youngstown State and California this season, knocking off the Golden Bears 67-65 at home to open the season. John Bowler leads the team with 19.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists/game this season.
Series History: The teams have played once before, during the 2003-04 season in Ypsilanti.
The Last Time We Met: Eastern Michigan ran out to a 18-point halftime advantage and held on to defeat Northern Colorado 82-55 on Dec. 23, 2003. The matchup was UNC's (2-10) second of the regular season against a Division I opponent. The loss marked the Bears' eighth in a row dating back to Nov. 29. The game was close for the first ten minutes, as Eastern Michigan (4-4) led by one point, 18-17, at the 11:11 mark of the first half. But a 12-3 Eagles run over the next five minutes opened up the floodgates in the first half. EMU could not miss from the field, connecting on 51.7% of their field goal attempts in the opening half while UNC managed only 35.7%, although they were 6-7 (85.7%) from the foul line. Eastern led by as many as 32 in the second half before winning by the final margin of 27. Erik Olson played the full 40 minutes for UNC and led the team with 19 points and 10 rebounds. He was the only scorer in double figures for the Bears. Vincent Jackson added nine points, only the second time in the last seven games he failed to reach double figures. EMU was led by a career-high 20 points from JaQuan Hart while John Bowler added 18 points and 12 boards. EMU coach Jim Boone registered his 300th career victory with the win.
Eastern Michigan Connections: Northern Colorado head coach Craig Rasmuson spent the 1990-91 season as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan under now Cal coach Ben Braun.
If you don't have time to read everything in this packet, these are the key notes about the Bears.
The Bears are playing at home for the first time since Dec. 11 as they just completed a 4-game, 4,800-mile road trip that saw them play Oregon State, Loyola Marymount, Northern Arizona and Kansas ... the Bears have played 14 games so far this year, tied for the most of any Division I team in the country (Western Carolina has also played 14) as of Dec. 28 ... senior guard Chris Gebhardt re-joined the team at the Christmas Break; the walk-on played two years with the Bears before playing the last two seasons with the Northern Colorado football team ... Northern Colorado is off to an 0-14 start this season, the worst start to a season in program history (the previous mark was a 0-12 start since the 1944-45 season) ... the Bears are one of 9 winless Division I teams left this season ... the Bears have lost 17 in a row dating back to last season ... Northern Colorado has also struggled away from home, losing their last 10 road games and 25 of its last 26 on the road dating back two seasons - overall the Bears have lost 32 of their last 33 games away from Butler-Hancock (road and neutral games) ... on Nov. 25 at Cal, head coach Craig Rasmuson coached in his 300th collegiate game; he did so against Ben Braun, the coach he served as an assistant for at Eastern Michigan in 1990-91 ... sophomore Sean Taibi suffered a broken nose against Cal State Northridge and had to wear a protective mask for five games; he wore the mask for the first-time against Montana State and for the last time against Oregon State ... sophomore Kirk Archibeque had a double-double in each of the first three games to start this season; he had only four career double-doubles prior to this season - he has surpassed that through 14 games this year as he currently has six this season ... Taibi registered his first career double-double against Colorado State (Nov. 18); he had 14 points and 10 rebounds ... this season Northern Colorado returns seven players from last year's squad including Division I Independent first-team selection Archibeque and All-Newcomer pick Sean Taibi ... Archibeque was picked as the D-I Independent Preseason Player of the Year by Lindys, Street & Smith and CBS Sportsline ... Northern Colorado officially becomes a member of the Big Sky Conference in 2006-07.
Gebhardt Re-Joins the Team: The Bears basketball team picked up a new member of Christmas break. Senior Chris Gebhardt has rejoined the team after a season and a half away from the squad. Gebhardt, a native of Loveland, Colo. where he was an all-area selection, redshirted with the team in 2001-02. As a freshman in 2002-03, he saw action in six games, playing 14 minutes and scoring three points. In 2003-04, he played in 27 games, starting the final six games of the season. He played a total of 506 minutes, averaging 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists/game. That season he hit the game-winning shot at Texas A&M-International, a leaner in the lane with 3.4 seconds left, lifting the team to a 64-63 victory and snapping a 13-game road losing streak. Gebhardt left the team last season and played the last two years with the Bears football team, where he played defensive back and teamed up with his twin, Greg. Chris registered six tackles and a pass break-up in 2004 and four tackles and a pair of interceptions in 2005. He will graduate in May with a degree in journalism.
In The Same Boat: It has been a rough early season for the Bears, who have played a brutal schedule and who are still searching for their first win with a young team. The Bears are not alone though, as eight other Division I teams (as of Dec. 28) are also still searching for their first victories of the season. They are: Alcorn State (0-8), Coppin State (0-9), Mississippi Valley State (0-8), Morgan State (0-9), North Carolina A&T (0-8), Stetson (0-10), Stony Brook (0-7) and UC Riverside (0-8).
Tough Opponents: Of the Bears 13 opponents (who they've played 14 total times) so far this season, 11 of those teams have .500 or better records, including Air Force (10-1) who has only one loss and is receiving votes in the national polls. South Dakota State and Montana State (5-6 overall) are the only teams the Bears have played this season that do not have a .500 or better mark as of Dec. 28.
Taibi Deadly From the Outside: Sophomore guard Sean Taibi has been deadly accurate from long range this season, hitting 35-of-79 (44.3%) from long range through 14 games. He has hit a 3-pointer in every game this season and hit four 3-pointers against each Lipscomb, Wyoming and Northern Arizona and five 3-pointers at Loyola Marymount. He is currently on pace to hit 73 3-pointers this season, which would be two off the school record of 75 set by Sean Nolen in 2002-03. His 35 total 3-pointers currently ranks 11th nationally (J.J. Redick and Gerry McNamara lead the way nationally with 40 apiece).
No Rest For the Weary: As of Dec. 28, no team in the country has played more games than Northern Colorado has this year. Western Carolina has the only other team to equal the Bears mark, as they have also played 14 games. The Bears played 14 games by Christmas break and will have played 15 games by Jan. 1. Last year, the Bears played 15 games before Jan. 1, which was more than any other Division I team, a mark they will equal once again this season.
Comparisons From a Year Ago: Although the Bears do not have a victory yet this year, there are signs that this year's team is better than last year. Compared to where the 2004-05 Bears were through 14 games a year ago, this year's squad is scoring more points (up 3.1/game), shooting is also better (up 2.2% in FG's, 2.1% in 3FG%) and so is rebounding (up 1.2/game).
Frequent Flyer Miles: The Bears finished a four-game road swing that saw them travel nearly 4,800 miles on Dec. 22 at Kansas (they also played Oregon State, Loyola Marymount and Northern Arizona on the trip). After logging more than 20,000 miles each of the last two seasons, the Bears have played 10 of their first 14 games away from home. Following a trip to Northwestern and Nebraska, Northern Colorado will play seven of its final 12 games of the year at Butler-Hancock.
Lineups: In the search for the right combination of lineups this season, head coach Craig Rasmuson has used seven different starting lineups in 2005-06. Each of the 11 active members (through the holiday break) on the team have started at least one game this season. Northern Colorado used 10 different starting lineups in 2004-05 and 11 different lineups in the 2003-04 season.
No Charity For the Bears: The Bears have been hurt this season by opponents dominating the free throw stripe. UNC opponents have made for free throws (236) than the Bears have attempted (227) this season.
Turnovers The Story of the Game: Northern Colorado has been competitive in most every game this season but one telling statistic has kept the Bears out of the win column - turnovers. UNC has committed at least 15 turnovers in every game this season and committed a season-high 31 turnovers in a 9-point loss to Cal State Northridge (Nov. 26); that was the most turnovers for the Bears in the last six seasons and Northridge turned those 30 turnovers in 31 points. The most miscues a Bears' opponent has committed this season was 25 by Northern Arizona on Dec. 19; the Bears had 24 turnovers in that game, the first time this season UNC has had fewer turnovers than their opponent. Northern Colorado is currently -6.6 in turnover margin this season.
Division I Independent Leaders: Several Bears rank high in the D-I Independent "conference" statistical leaders as of Dec. 27. Kirk Archibeque's 8.6 rebounds/game is tops among independents while Sean Taibi's 35 3-pointers is tops as well (10 above second place). Matt Kline's 3.7 assists/game is fourth while his 88.9 free throw percentage is first. As a team, UNC ranks fifth in field goal shooting and fourth in 3-point shooting.
Panagiotakopoulos Shines in Home State: Playing in front of about 40 family members and friends who came up from Phoenix, sophomore guard Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos did not disappoint, tallying a career-high 19 points against Northern Arizona in Flagstaff (Dec. 19). Panagiotakopoulos hit on 8-of-11 shots (including 3-of-5 from 3-point range), dished out three assists and had two steals in a career-high 33 minutes. Panagiotakopoulos was starting only his second game of his UNC career. His first start game on Dec. 17 at Loyola Marymount; there he played in front of his immediate family for the first time all season, and scored five points, four assists and a pair of steals. Panagiotakopoulos has made the most of his playing time, as he is averaging 3.8 assists/game when he plays 10 or more minutes in a game (which he has done five times this season).
Slow Starts: After starting last year 0-6, Northern Colorado has struggled out of the gate this season, starting 0-14. That is the first 0-14 start in program history. The previous slowest start had been in 1944-45, when the team started (and finished) the year 0-12.
Olson - Four-Year Starter: Senior Erik Olson has been a key member for the Bears for the past four years. He has played in 96 career games and if he plays in the final 15 games this season, will finish his career having played in 111 career games, the fifth-highest total in school history.
Home Sweet Home: Northern Colorado is 223-149 (.599) all-time at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion, which opened on Feb. 4, 1975 (a 64-56 loss to Air Force). The Bears were 7-5 at home last season but are 0-4 there this year. Following a loss to Colorado State (Nov. 18), UNC is 21-9 all-time in home openers at Butler-Hancock in 30 seasons of playing in the building.
Archibeque Powers Bears: Sophomore center Kirk Archibeque proved to be the team's top player last year, earning Division I All-Independent first-team honors (as he was the only non-senior on the team). Archibeque also became the first freshman in school history to lead the team in both scoring (12.1) and rebounding (6.0). His 58.1% (136-234) field goal percentage ranked No. 23 nationally and second nationally among freshmen. Prior to this season, Archibeque was named the D-I Independent Preseason Player of the Year by Lindy's, Street & Smith and CBSSportsline preseason magazines. He has proven those preseason predictions to be accurate, as he started the season by averaging 11.7 points and 8.6 rebounds through 14 games. Entering the season, he had only four career doubles - this season he has six double-doubles through 14 games. He ranks first among independent players in rebounds and has scored in double figures in eight of his last nine games. After hitting only 35% from the field in his first five games of the year, Archibeque has turned it on in his last nine contests, hitting 51.8% from the field.
Gordy Turns It On: Sophomore Michael Gordy sometimes saves his best for last. At Wyoming (Nov. 22), Gordy scored all 11 of his points in the second half. The next game, at Cal, Gordy scored all 15 of his points in the second 20 minutes. He continued his hot streak by matching his career-high, 17, against Cal State Northridge. He also scored 17 points against Montana State on Dec. 1. He is now third on the team in scoring at 8.9 points per game but missed the Oregon State, Loyola Marymount, Northern Arizona and Kansas games due to an injury. He is hopefully to return against Eastern Michigan.
Bears Increase Rebounding: Despite the fact the Bears are 0-14 this season, they have shown great improvement on the backboards from last year. Northern Colorado has out-rebounded 7 of its 14 opponents this season.
Bears Have Struggled in TV Games: The Bears dropped a pair of national television games (ESPNU) to start the season, falling to Lipscomb and South Dakota State at the Guardians Classic. They also lost to Montana State (Dec. 1) and Air Force (Dec. 8) on Altitude Sports & Entertainment TV and to Kansas (Dec. 22) on ESPN Full Court. Northern Colorado played in six television games a year ago that were available to a national audience, and they came out on the losing end each time. In the past three seasons they have played on national television 12 times and are 0-12 in those games. The Bears final TV game of the year is Feb. 15 at Denver.
Bears Sign Moore to National Letter of Intent: Northern Colorado signed one player during Novembers early signing period. Darren Moore (Chino Hills, Calif./Ayala H.S.) signed a national letter of intent and will join the Bears program next season. Moore (6'2, 170 lbs., PG/SG) averaged 12 points, 5.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game at Ayala Hills High School as a junior. He earned first-team All-Sierra League honors and was a second-team All-California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) selection. He was ranked as one of the top guards on the west coast by Scout.com. The Bulldogs finished 23-7 last season, had a 9-1 conference record and lost in the state playoffs. Moore participated in the Double Pump West Coast All-Star camp, the adidas Super 64 and the adidas Best of the Summer events last summer. He played AAU basketball with the Inland Empire Basketball Program. Moore is the son of Duane and LaJunna Moore and plans to major in communications at Northern Colorado. He selected Northern Colorado over Northern Arizona, Loyola Marymount and UC Irvine. Moore, who is an early favorite for his conference player of the year honors, was in attendance when UNC played at Loyola Marymount on Dec. 17.
The Continued Move to Division I: The 2005-06 sports season marks year No. 3 in the "reclassification" process to Division I for the Bears. On May 10, 2002 the UNC Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve a move for the Northern Colorado intercollegiate athletics program to NCAA Division I. The 2002-03 sports year marked the last season for the Bears in the North Central Conference and the NCAA Division II level and was an "exploratory" year in the move. 2003-04 was the first season of the four-year reclassification period and last season (2004-05) marked year No. 2. The program officially becomes a Division I school (and eligible for NCAA Championships) in 2007-08.
Bears to Join Big Sky Conference in 2006-07: As the Bears continue the reclassification to Division I, they have finally found a conference home. On July 1, 2006, the program will officially become a member of the Big Sky Conference and will compete against a full BSC schedule in 2006-07. The department's programs (with the exception of women's volleyball - which got a waiver from the NCAA) will not be eligible for Big Sky championships or NCAA berths until 2007-08, the program's first full year of Division I competition. On the basketball court, the Bears will compete against the other eight Big Sky teams: Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State.
Bears Not Shying Away From Tough Competition: Nobody can accuse Bears head coach Craig Rasmuson of scheduling easy games. During the reclassification process to Division I, Rasmuson has scheduled the best-of-the-best in helping the Bears prepare for Big Sky Conference play in 2006-07. Last year the Bears had 10 opponents end up playing in some sort of postseason. Eight squads were selected to play in the NCAA Tournament while two others were selected to play in the NIT. The eight selected for the NCAA Tournament were: Gonzaga (No. 3 seed), Oklahoma (No. 3), Syracuse (No. 4), Texas Tech (No. 6), Utah (No. 6), Iowa State (No. 9), New Mexico (No. 12) and Bucknell (No. 14). Two of those teams advanced to the Sweet 16 (Utah and Texas Tech) while the lowest seeded of those teams, Bucknell, pulled the biggest first round upset when they knocked off Kansas. Both Oral Roberts (Mid-Con) and Denver (Sun Belt) won their league's regular season titles but were knocked off in the championship games of their conference tournaments. Each lost in the first round of the NIT. At one point last season (Jan. 7), the Bears strength of schedule (SOS) was ranked No. 4 nationally; the Bears finished the year with the 132nd most difficult schedule in the country. In a ranking by Basketball Times, the Bears 2004-05 non-conference schedule was the 56th most difficult in Division I.
Division I Independents: This season, 10 NCAA Division I Independent men's basketball teams have joined forces to award Player of the Week awards and compile statistical leaders. The teams are UC Davis, IPFW, Longwood, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Savannah State, South Dakota State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley State. Awards and statistics will be released on each Tuesday of the season beginning Dec. 6. An index of award winners and other information on D-I Independent men's basketball can be found at: http://uncbears.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/110705aab.html.
Third Largest Crowd Comes to Butler-Hancock: When the Bears played Colorado State (Nov. 18), a crowd of 4,351 witnessed the game, marking the third largest crowd in Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion history. It trailed only the 4,674 fans that saw the Bears play Wisconsin-Milwaukee (March 18, 1989) in the NCAA Div. II Regional Championship game, and the 4,429 fans who saw the Bears battle Augustana (Feb. 23, 1989).
300: Head coach Craig Rasmuson coached in his 300th career game on Nov. 26 at California. He coached that game against Ben Braun, the former coach at Eastern Michigan. Braun was the head coach of the 1990-91 EMU team that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16; Rasmuson served as an assistant coach on that staff.
Big Sky Preview: The Bears officially become a member of the Big Sky Conference next season and got a preview of conference play in early December by hosting a pair of BSC teams. The Bears lost 83-69 to Montana State on Thursday, Dec. 1 and fell 88-78 to Northern Arizona on Dec. 3. On Dec. 19, they got a rematch with Northern Arizona, falling 63-52 in Flagstaff. UNC is 21-63 (.250) all-time against Big Sky teams and last defeated a Big Sky team on Dec. 2, 1977, when they topped Montana 76-75 in Greeley. Since then the Bears have lost 10 straight games to Big Sky teams. The Bears will play a full Big Sky schedule next season.
The Masked Man From Pueblo: Sophomore Sean Taibi broke his nose on Nov. 26 vs. Cal State Northridge and was forced to wear a protective mask for the next five games. Taibi shedded the mask for the first time at Loyola Marymount (Dec. 17), and responded by hitting 5-of-10 3-pointers and scoring a season-high 21 points. But Taibi did not struggle with the mask too much, as in those five games he hit 11-of-25 (44.0%) from 3-point range, averaged 13.4 points/game and scored in double figures in four of those five games.
Breaking Into the Starting Lineup: A pair of Bears got their first career starts at Loyola Marymount (Dec. 17). Sophomore Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos and freshman Dorian McDaniel were each in the starting lineup for the first time for that game. McDaniel, a native of Culver City, Calif., got to play in front of a large crowd of fans, while Panagiotakopoulos got to play in front of his family - who had made the trip from Phoenix - for the first time this season.
Kline Helps Out: In this season of giving, junior Matt Kline was in a giving mood on Dec. 11 against Oral Roberts. Kline dished out a career-high 10 assists in the Bears 79-66 loss to the Golden Eagles. The 10 assists marked the first time a Bear play had reached double-digit assists since Sean Nolen set the school single-game record with 14 against Kendall College on Nov. 28, 2003.
Tournament Games Unkind: The Bears have now lost 10 straight games that have been part of in-season tournaments, dating back to the beginning of the 2003-04 season. Northern Colorado last won 85-68 against Western State at the Jalisco Hoops Classic in Alamosa, Colo. (Nov. 21, 2003). That win was also the Bears last on a neutral court. The Bears were 0-4 last season during in-season tournaments (losing two at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic and two at the Iowa State Cyclone Challenge). This season the Bears were 0-4 at the Guardians Classic and the Cal Golden Bear Classic.
Easy Like Sunday Morning: The Bears hosted Oral Roberts on Sunday, Dec.11 and it was only the fifth Sunday game in the Craig Rasmuson Era at Northern Colorado. The Bears opened the season on a Sunday this year (a 72-60 loss to Lipscomb). Last season UNC played on Dec. 19 at Montana State, marking the first time since Dec. 30, 2001 that they had played on a Sunday (that game was an 87-76 win at North Dakota State). UNC also played once on Sunday the year prior to that, falling 90-86 to Drury at the Las Vegas High Desert Classic.
Early Starts: The Oral Roberts game (Dec. 11), which started at Noon mountain time, was also the earliest during the Rasmuson Era at Northern Colorado. The earliest start had been a 12:30 p.m. local start time for the Oklahoma game last December.
Is It December Yet?: Northern Colorado will be glad when the calendar turns to December. The Bears are only 1-11 during the month of November over the past two years, including 0-6 this season. That is due in part to the fact they have faced very tough opposition including Syracuse, Bucknell, Iowa State, Colorado State and Wyoming among others.
Bears Play Wyoming For Only Third Time in 30 Years: Northern Colorado's game at Wyoming on Nov. 22 was the first time the teams had played since 1995 and only the third time the squads had faced each other on the hardwood since the 1976 season. Wyoming won the matchup 83-70, although the game was closer than the final score indicated. It was an improvement for the Bears, who had lost to the Pokes by a combined 92 points in the previous four meetings. UW has won 20 in a row against Northern Colorado.
Season Openers: After a 72-60 loss to Lipscomb, the Bears are now 5-7 overall in their last 12 season openers overall, 11 of which have come in road contests.
Largest Crowd To Sees Bears Play: The second largest crowd to ever see a Northern Colorado basketball team witnessed the Bears battle Lipscomb (Nov. 13). An announced crowd of 20,144 saw the contest, which was part of a doubleheader with Kentucky/South Dakota State at the Guardians Classic. That is the second largest mark, trailing only the 20,176 that officially saw the Bears battle Bucknell last season in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic (a doubleheader with Syracuse-Princeton). The next night (Nov. 14), the Bears matchup with South Dakota State had 19,369 in attendance, the third largest crowd to see a UNC basketball game.
The Early Bird Gets the Worm: Last year the Bears started the regular season with a November 11th game at Syracuse (Coaches vs. Cancer Classic). The start to a regular season was the earliest ever for Northern Colorado in its 104 years of basketball. This year's Nov. 13 start tied the second earliest opener in school history, also equaled on Nov. 13, 1998 when the Bears defeated Fort Lewis 85-50.
Close But No Cigar: Trailing South Dakota State (Nov. 14) by two points with three seconds left at the Guardians Classic, the Bears pushed the ball the length of the floor and junior Matt Kline got a 3-pointer off from 25 feet from the hoop on the right side, a shot that bounced off the rim after almost going in as time expired. The Bears have not had a buzzer-beating or near buzzer-beating shot winning basket since topping Texas A&M-International on Feb. 5, 2004. It in contest, Chris Gebhardt hit a runner in the lane with 3-seconds left to push the Bears to a 64-63 victory. Prior to that, it was Aaron Austin who hit a 3-pointer with eight seconds left on Feb. 9, 2002 as the Bears topped St. Cloud State 86-85.
Home Openers: Northern Colorado has dropped each of its last three home openers, falling 83-51 to Loyola Marymount last season, 78-76 to Colorado Mines (2003-04) and 70-57 to Colorado State this season. UNC last won its home opener on Nov. 26, 2002, topping Adams State 77-73. UNC is 6-5 overall in its home openers over the past 11 years.
Rams Play in Greeley For First Time Since 1956: When Colorado State played in Greeley on Nov. 18, it marked the first time since Dec. 1, 1956 that the Rams had played in Greeley. That game took place in old Gunter Hall across the UNC campus. CSU came out on top in the game 70-57, winning for the seventh straight time in the series. The two teams plan to begin playing annually in a home-and-home series.
Tongue Tied: You may notice one name on the Bears' roster is a little longer than the others. Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos earns the honor of having the longest last name (17 letters) in school history and probably the best name in all of Division I basketball. The Phoenix native of Greek ancestry pronounces his name Thanasi (TH-nah-see) Panagiotakopoulos (Pana-Yo-Toe-CO-PO-los). His real first name, however, is not Thanasi but Athanassios. Growing up his friends and teammates nicknamed him "T-Soup" or "Soup" - short for alphabet soup (since his name was so long). Last season, Thanasi got a treat on Dec. 9 at New Mexico when his grandfather (also named Athanassios) made the trip to see him play; Thanasi scored three points in that game. His grandfather and grandmother, who live in Greece, were in the United States for the holidays.
Bears Radio Network: This season you can hear every Northern Colorado basketball game on the Bears' Radio Network. Newstalk 1310 KFKA in Greeley is the flagship station and KFKA's Troy Coverdale will have the play-by-play call all season long with a pre-game show starting 30 minutes before tip-off. If you are outside the Greeley area you can access all the games online through UNCBears.com (see the Events section at the bottom of the main page) or directly log into http://www.1310kfka.com.
Northern Colorado Coaches Radio Show Now on Wednesday: Fans came now attend the Coors Light Northern Colorado Coaches Show each Wednesday afternoon at Noon at Old Chicago (2349 W. 29th St.). The event, which used to be on Monday's, is open to the public and the cost of lunch is only $7, as fans hear about the happenings of UNC Athletics from in-season coaches. KFKA's Troy Coverdale serves as host and the show airs on tape-delay on Newstalk 1310 KFKA at 7 p.m. that night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous
This book continues shortly after The Hunger Games finishes. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are back home in District 12 but things are not all joy for the victors.

3.0 out of 5 stars This second started going downhill
Firstly, I must say that I really thought the first book wonderful and exciting, and I had high hopes for the 2nd. Secondly, I read all three, and I would like to point out a few things that are left out in comments like "I loved this, a must-read!"
The first book, as I said, was great. It was well-paced (didn't feel rushed), surprising (waiting to see what...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read,
I enjoyed this series, it offered all the elements of a good read, suspense, intrigue, romance, adventure, action and so on. It was well written, some parts got a little gory, but all in all it had a good ending and I am looking forward to the movies.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!,
It was really fun to read and it was really exiting. I truly recommed you to read it. It's AWESOME!!
3.0 out of 5 stars Fast Reads,
Read all three books together. loved the 1st and 2nd but by the time I got to the third book found it a little slow moving.
5.0 out of 5 stars I love it,
Jeff Hart (Montreal, Qc) - See all my reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars A dispatch from District 14,
Chris (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Not really getting pulled into the hype, I waited a long time to complete reading this series. The first two were okay; "Mockingjay", though depressing, was superior. If you read it, you'll find out if it's Peeta or Gale and that not all of the trilogy's characters get to see the fate of Panem.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great series!,
This review is from: Mockingjay: The Final Book of the Hunger Games (Paperback)
A friend got me into the Hunger Games series which I never thought I would read let alone like.
We share books, so I bought the Mockingjay. I think it was the best of the three.
5.0 out of 5 stars No disappointment in the final book!,
If you like book 1 & 2- you will love this one too!
I ordered the Kindle version. Loaded instantly after ordering.
2.0 out of 5 stars good story but very scattered writing.,
I liked the story, however the author seemed to jump all over the place. The editor should have smoothed this out, but clearly didn't. This is one time the movies were better tan the books.
4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining....,
....if one does not mind the graphic description of the battles and resulting injuries. I would not recommend it for very young adults.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good...but rushed,
You have to read it if you already read the first two. It ties everything up...but the story line feels rushed.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have had two children go through Powel and I will only rate it ok. My son who is moving on this 2014 year has done ok. I believe the teachers do the best they can with the large class sizes, but if your child needs a little more attention it is not there for them. Also, not all teachers fit your child personality, though I feel it is every necessary the they should when being an educator, they need to be able understand and deal with each child differently. unfortunately not every child can do there best when being screamed at, but only a few teachers at Powel are understanding to this.
A few years ago, I would have given this school 5 stars. The principle they have now is dreadful and has made me completely regret sending my son to school there. The office staff is AMAZING! The teachers (all but maybe 2) are AMAZING. This is my 3rd child through Powel and I've worked with all the current teachers. What keeps Powel going is the parent involvement. Its the best I've ever seen. None of my friends with kids can believe how much effort parents put in, if it were not for the parents, this school would completely fail. Big thanks to all the parents who are always there, fighting for the wel being of this school!
My children have been at Powel since 2009 and I love it! Even we moved to the Frankford section of the city. We had the opportunity to change schools, but decided that the commute was worth it. They have had a new principal since last school year and she makes it a point to invest in every student there. The teachers are the reason I couldn't send my children anywhere else.
My daughter graduated from Powel in 2004. I feel she got a top notch education there. She went on to Gamp, others went to Masterman and Carver. In 2004 the curriculum changed for Philadelphia public school students and that has a lot to do with children struggling in reading and math.
I have two children at Powel. The teachers are deeply invested in the school and extremely attentive. I have always felt welcome in the classroom and appreciate the effort that individual staff members make to supplement the curriculum with field trips, visiting artists, and additional materials.
My daughter has attended Powel for 3+ years now and is thriving. We feel that she is stimulated, safe, and has access to many activities such as instrumental music, class trips to local museums and events, and diverse clubs at Powel. Parents, teachers, and the principal work together and are deeply invested in the school's success.
I am a parent of a first grader, I must say I have become very disappointed in the school. The teachers are not parent friendly, on an average you are treat as an outcast. What I find ironic that the parents are involved and the teachers are distant. The curriculum is being taught to the children without phonics. Some children gets it and sme don't. If your child doesn't get it they are left behind. The intervention that they have is not helpful. The college students do not come on a regular basis for tutoring so it is not helpful. When a teacher is absent for a period of time, there are too many subustitutes, expecially at this age, children need consistency. I am definitely looking into Catholic School.
Powel has a diverse students body, all of whom are offered a high quality education that will give them the opportunity to be admitted into any of the academically competitive high schools in the city.
My daughter attends this small public school and loves it. The teachers are great as is the curriculum. There is a lot of parent and community involvement. The school always meets AYP and takes kids from outside the catchment area.
This is my sons second year at Powell, he started in kindergarten and now 1st. I can say that the teachers are attentive, the staff friendly, and the school overall has that small school effect where everyone can virtually know everyone if you take your time to say hello. There could be more extracurricular activities though.
I love Powel. The school is small and the staff members are great! My children have really learned a lot and enjoy going to school. They have music lessons and other activities with lots of parental involvement.

Roasted Pistachios (Unsalted, No Shell)
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
Roasted California pistachios, no shell, no salt. What a gourmet treat! You never have to worry about the shells (yes!). Great for baking, salads or on ice cream!
Health Tips
2. You can get more dietary fiber from a serving of pistachios than a 1/2 cup of broccoli or spinach.
3. Pistachios are especially rich in phytosterols, which are directly associated with lowering cholesterol levels, and may offer protection from certain types of cancer.
4. A serving of pistachios has as much thiamin as a 1/2 cup serving of cooked rice.
5. The amount of vitamin B-6 in a one-ounce serving of pistachios is comparable to a standard three-ounce serving of pork or chicken.
6. One serving of pistachios has as much potassium as half a large banana.
7. Pistachios are a very high quality plant source of protein, providing adequate and balanced amounts of essential amino acids. In addition, pistachios are relatively high in a nonessential amino acid, arginine, which may play a potential role in prevention or reduction of cardiovascular disease.
8. While pistachios contain fat, the fat is predominantly monounsaturated, similar to that found in olive oil.

Kris, West Chester, PA March 9, 2013
"Last night I noticed that we were running quite low on several of the Nuts.com products that we keep in our pantry, organic, raw, no salt ... cashews, walnuts and pistachios. It was late but I thought I would place the order before retiring. Early this morning I saw the nuts.com box in the entry way. My husband had brought it in from the porch. It was delivered less than 12 hours after I placed the order. I was amazed. We rely on these products as part of a natural foods diet. The service from nuts.com is over the top and the products are a main stay in our kitchen, as part of a healthy life-style. Thank you for providing us with amazing products, just in time. Well done!

(I expect them to also be quite tasty.) There was a sample of macadamias that was thrown in. MMMMmmm. Also roasted and unsalted. It's a small but very appreciated detail. I noticed you noticed :)."

When Russia joins the World Trade Organization (WTO) later this year, exporters in Utah and throughout the United States could increase trade with the world's ninth largest economy, according to the Business Roundtable.
However, Congress must first act by approving "permanent normal trade relations" or PRTN legislation before Utah and other states can enjoy the benefits of Russia's market-opening WTO commitments, it said.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"Congressional action on PNTR will benefit Utah and its companies, farmers and workers," said John Engler, Business Roundtable president. "This is the most significant trade opportunity this year to help support American jobs and grow the United States economy."
The Business Roundtable is an association of chief executives leading U.S. companies.
Engler said a recent economic analysis indicated Utah exported $22.5 million worth of goods to Russia in 2011, which directly supported an estimated 60 jobs. He said if Congress passes Russia PNTR, those numbers can be expected to grow.
If, on the other hand, Congress fails to act, those number will likely fall as foreign competitors in Europe, Asia and elsewhere will be able to take advantage of Russia's WTO commitments, but Utah and its companies will not, he added.
Engler explained that Russia's WTO membership means that it must lower its tariffs, provide greater market transparency, protect intellectual property rights and abide by the WTO's rules of international trade.

As we neared the camp, the temptation to jump into the crystal clear blue water grew and grew and when finally we reached our destination, the first thing I did after unloading my bag was grab my mask and snorkel and take the plunge. From the sandy beach I kept to the reef wall and swam around into the lagoon. Instantly revived after the hot walk, I turned back; the sun was long gone behind the mountains and stars were beginning to twinkle faintly up above in the cloudless sky. Then, about five metres in front of me, just below the surface I saw what at first I thought was a giant moray. In fact, the shape I saw was not an eel; the movement came from the wings of a huge stingray. She was swimming right towards me and my heart began to thud wildly: I was still a good fifty metres from shore. Consciously I slowed my breathing, and was able to gaze in wonder as this magnificent and graceful creature passed just beneath me. Ships crossing. I was very lucky, this was the second time in the space of a week that I'd seen a large stingray whilst swimming. The first had been at the edge of the reef at a depth of 15m, but this one had been within touching distance, looking up at me as she glided away out of sight.
The surge of adrenaline sent me racing back to the camp. I ran to the husha with arms outstretched, singing and crying out with the immense joy and privilege that had just been offered to me. "I just saw a stringray! Another stingray! That close!"
We were still just friends at that point. Months later, he told me that it was at that precise moment he knew he'd fallen in love with me, and that he also knew he'd be in letting himself in for deep trouble.

Week 7 - Day 47
Walking past this shop's window with a fully dressed up manikin definitely gave me a frightful surprise, especially in the dark (when I went out with Toria for another outdoor shoot), as I easily mistaken it as an actual person as most people do.
Today is my last post for the "Everyday, Every Day" Project. For this week's theme, to me personally has been the most challenging out of all the other themes set, because I did not want to go for the obvious surprised expressions from people, but also wanted to capture surprise events or something of what I came across was personally surprising to me.
Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed pushing myself to capturing a photo everyday and by doing this, has helped me develop further ideas towards my projects - whether they were personal or towards University projects.
In addition, by capturing everyday, I feel I can adjust to most suitable settings on the camera more naturally now for almost any situation, which was a small problem I faced before - I had a bad habit taking my time, taking multiple snapshots, adjusting settings every time, before capturing a 'proper' photo.
Despite it being the last official day for the deadline, I think I will be continuing blogging at least one photo a day, as I think it would be a waste not to share the photos I often take and also to improve my skills further.
