Question: So how does it feel now being the starting left tackle? Did you expect to be there as a redshirt freshman?
Taylor Lewan: "That was the goal as a redshirt freshman. Nobody wants to sit on the bench. Coming into this whole thing, you see the offensive line and you see how much everybody has improved. It has really just been a blessing to get out there and I feel great being out there. I don't want to leave."
Question: You talk about last year being kind of difficult because it is the first time you are not playing and sitting on the sideline and stuff. What is the biggest difference with actually getting in the game?
Taylor Lewan: "You're just way more into the game. Like when you're sitting on the sidelines…you're watching a game like Penn State last year where we're losing pretty bad and you're sitting there thinking that there is nothing you can possibly due to change the situation. You can do it in practice but right now you can't do a thing. The biggest thing is I can help change."
Question: What was it like to have that helpless feeling for someone that wanted so badly to be playing; how hard was that to kind of work through and accept that?
Taylor Lewan: "If anything, I feel like it fueled even more and made me try a lot harder. Working out with Mike Barwis all summer. You guys all know him – he's crazy. He helped me a lot and just really fueled the fire."
Question: What specifically did you work on with him to help change things?
Taylor Lewan: "I worked on my strength, speed, just overall quickness, everything about football. Using everything that I have for my advantage."
Question: Did you get to pick your jersey number coming in and if so, why that one?
Taylor Lewan: "When I actually committed, one of things was that I wanted 77. I actually didn't even know about Jake Long until my senior year of football. My dad, he was a huge fan. In high school, he was like you got 77, you're going to wear 77 in high school. I was like, it is a cool number. I didn't realize I was wearing that and he told me after the season, you're wearing that because of Jake Long. They are big shoes to fill and I'll do my best."
Question: Have you had any interaction with Jake at all since you've been here?
Taylor Lewan: "I saw him once. It was at a game, I was standing on the sidelines last year, hanging out and I saw him over just standing there. He is a very large individual. I had my shoulder pads on and he was still wider than me. It was a little bit ridiculous."
Question: Have you and Craig (Roh) been actively recruiting some great talent out in Arizona and what is your favorite thing about Ann Arbor?
Taylor Lewan: "Yeah. There is a kid that actually went to my school at Chaparral. His name is Andre (Yruretagoyena). He is actually committed to Oregon, so I guess I didn't do a good job (laughter). Before I was trying to help, call him and Facebook him. Tell him about all the great things. My favorite thing about Ann Arbor…that's tough. It is just all the different people. You got some weird people out here (laughter). It is kind of interesting to see. You walk down the Diag. You see everybody out there and there are some really interesting people, I love that."
Question: What is your dad's name and what did he tell you about Jake Long?
Taylor Lewan: "My dad's name is Dave. He told me basically that he was the best. That's what he told me and as soon as I found out about him. I've watched him play. He plays for Dolphins. I watched him play the other day and he does it all and that's awesome."
Question: Coaches want offensive lineman with a mean streak and they also don't want penalties. Talk about how you balance that in terms of your own approach to the game.
Taylor Lewan: "If you ask Craig, my senior year, I had no balance at all. I was going out there with at least three penalties a game, at least, on a good day. I think the biggest thing for me was just be smarter. It is okay to be nasty but at the end of the play when the play is away from you and you have done your job, just let go. When I go out there I'm trying to be as mean as possible and making sure nobody is having a good time when they are playing against me."
Question: Did your dad give you any feedback after the last game with how you play?
Taylor Lewan: "He's a dad. He is my biggest fan, but he's also my biggest critic. He told me how proud he was of me and then he told me all the bad things that I did, so it's all good."
Question: Did he used to play?
Taylor Lewan: "He did. He walked on…he moved to Canada when he was 16 or something like that and then he walked on to Minnesota and his lung collapsed his sophomore year. So that kind of ended that whole thing, so he tried to play."
Question: Last year, 1-7 in the Big Ten, do you guys use that as motivation at all now that you are through with the nonconference and you are looking at the Big Ten slate?
Taylor Lewan: "Absolutely. Like Daryl (Stonum) said before, were 4-0 last year at this time and we got to keep our head down and keep playing because we got to change. We got to go back to what Michigan was."
Question: What about this year's team? What makes you confident that you guys are going to have more successful in conference this year?
Taylor Lewan: "Everyone is a year older. All the quarterbacks were freshman. Devin (Gardner) a freshman, but he's playing…they're all playing like seniors. They are playing like champions and that's awesome. You got people stepping up, senior, leaders, Steve Schilling is awesome and one guy that nobody ever hears of is a guy named Zac Ciullo, who has been here four years and has never really played a snap, but he is probably one of the biggest leaders on our team. He is there every day and he is one guy that I look up to."
Question: Why?
Taylor Lewan: "Because of his worth ethic, he's always there. You take a guy who is not on scholarship and he doesn't get any glory out of this. He is not standing up here like I am right now and he works harder than every other person on this team. He is in the weight room 15 minutes extra and that's something that I think the whole team should be like and that's something that I've been trying to."
Question: With Denard (Robinson) hurt but expected to play, do you put even more pressure on yourself and the lineman? Do you have drop back passes to keep him protected?
Taylor Lewan: "I don't think anybody should change up there game for a person that is behind you. I'm going to block just as hard for Devin, Denard and Tate (Forcier). They're all my friends. I hang out with all of them. I'm going to do whatever I can to protect them no matter what."
Question: You talked about how difficult it was last year feeling helpless on the sidelines, but you go into camp and you're in a pretty tight battle for left tackle that doesn't go your way. How tough was that knowing that you might not get a change all this season? Obviously that changed for you.
Taylor Lewan: "At first, I was kind of a little bitter about it, but you cannot be mad at another person for beating you out. Mark (Huyge), he's a phenomenal player. The worse part is when you get phone calls from home and everybody is like, you playing, starting? And it's like, no I'm not. Like I said, it just made me work harder. I just want to keep working harder and I want to keep getting to where I want to go."
Question: Did you play left tackle in high school?
Taylor Lewan: "I did."
Question: What is it about that position that you like as opposed to…?
Taylor Lewan: "I enjoy playing left tackle. I like attention. I'm the attention guy. Ask anybody on the team, I love getting attention and playing offense line, you're not going to get any but at left tackle might get some here and there, so I'm trying."
Question: You talked about how you like to be mean out on the field, are you a trash talker at all; what is Taylor Lewan like out on the field?
Taylor Lewan: "I don't know if I'm a trash talker, maybe more in practice than anything. Just to get people riled up, but in games I really just focus on my assignment and do my thing. I'm just trying to play as mean as possible."
Question: How do you turn that mean streak on and off? It is kind of an amazing thing to see you guys do sometimes.
Taylor Lewan: "I don't know how to turn it on. Sometimes, I feel like I just turn off my head and play football."

Aw cummon Beef. Give that poor, whipped, rich ,young guy a break. It's hard to pass up all of the millions they are begging him to take.See how he is leaning when he sits down and lists to one side when he walks. It's that huge bulge in his wallet that is throwing him off kilter. He's just an addled young man, thats all.

Beef's right. I don't care what you think of your fancy-schmancy speakers, Rors - the Montréal Symphony Orchestra and Tower of Power still sound better through my Klipsch Fortés.

Sorry I do enough work for Canada to know nothing about Montreal sounds good. When your gift to the world is poutine you have failed.
Torleif Sorenson says:
Jason: With due respect, sir, Charles Dutoit and the OSM's recording of Gustav Holst's The Planets won several awards for outstanding audio engineering. And the performance was absolutely awesome - particularly the "Mars", "Jupiter", and "Saturn" movements. They even used the bass pedals from the organ there at Église Saint-Eustache.
Over 25 years later, that CD still sounds so good that it makes my nose bleed.

Anjelah Johnson
No matter what she does, comedian Anjelah Johnson looks like she's a cheerleader. A very attractive young woman, Johnson spent a year shaking her pom-poms for the Oakland Raiders, but left them behind when she figured out that being funny paid better. Trouble is, when she walks on the stage, she still looks perky and, well, damn it, cheerful. At least until she opens her mouth, then it's all sass.
Fans howl every time she goes into her character Bon Qui Qui (a black woman with a serious attitude problem) or her nail salon routine (with Tammy, a Vietnamese attendant who pushes extra services). Johnson also jokes about gangsta-turned-Christian rappers who go to South Central Savior, where the pastor comes out with a 40-ounce for communion. Like the best comedians, Johnson exaggerates real-life events for her routines, making her humor seem simultaneously familiar and ridiculous. 8 p.m. Thursday, 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Houston Improv, 7620 Katy Freeway. For information, call 713‑333-8888 or visit www.improvhouston.com. $32.

After it was founded in 2002, the rise of Crocs, the retailer of brightly coloured beachwear foam-resin clogs, was simply meteoric. Around the time of its initial public offering on the Nasdaq at $21 in early February 2006, Crocs was adored by celebrities, including the actors Jack Nicholson and Ben Affleck, and the masses. Its shares soared to $75, it went on an acquisition spree and launched in countless countries.
But then the wheels started to come off the Crocs bandwagon in a similarly spectacular fashion. Shares in Crocs, which also designs and makes its shoes, slumped as low as 79 cents in November 2008 and it came close to becoming extinct.
In a near-death roll befitting its name, Crocs was hit by an ill-advised and rapid expansion at the same time as consumers tired of its appeal, which had given birth to a plethora of lookalike products. But Crocs, whose founder George Boedecker Jr originally developed it as a spa shoe, is now back in business and last year delivered four profitable quarters for the first time since 2007. And despite the slowdown in UK consumer spending this year, Crocs says it has delivered like-for-like sales growth in the UK so far this year, boosted by an increasingly diverse product offer including sneakers, Wellington boots and its trademark clogs.
John McCarvel, the chief executive of Crocs since March 2010, pulls no punches in describing how the group lost its way. He said: "We did not stay in control of the business at times."
Mr McCarvel, who first started working with Crocs as a consultant in 2004, added: "Greed drives orders and sales and you think there is no end to consumer demand and guess what happens? Consumer demand goes away, you have got over-inventory and you have a lot of product on order and so what you do with it, you just liquidate it any way you can or want." The company was particularly bitten by partners in the US cancelling orders.
To arrest its decline, Crocs embarked on a huge shift in its distribution away from value chains and non-fashion retailers, such as the huge greeting card and gift chain Hallmark in the US, to more upmarket fashion and footwear partners. For example, Crocs' products are now sold in fewer than 300 Hallmark outlets in its home market, compared with 4,200 in 2007.
Crocs has also driven its recovery by strengthening its own retail offer. Globally, Crocs now has about 700 retail stores, including 400 company-owned shops and 300 run by franchise partners. This gives it more control over how the brand is sold and marketed, while company-controlled shops deliver better margins.
However, arguably the most important step in its recovery has been Crocs diversifying its offer, dampening the fire of critics who called it a "one-trick pony" with its foam-resin clogs. Of its new ranges, Crocs is selling sneakers, translucent shoes for children and "tone" shoes, which have a curved sole that provide a rocker-effect that encourages key muscle activity. Crocs also recently launched a 249-gram sneaker.
Mr McCarvel says: "The sneaker lines open up a whole new channel. Men may not want to wear that clog outside of the house." Whatever the strategy at Crocs, it seems to be working. Over the year to 31 December 2010, Crocs grew net income to $67.7m, compared with a net loss of $42.1m the previous year. It grew strongly in the Americas and Asia, while Europe was up by 21 per cent to $127.7m.
Scott Lucas, the UK and Ireland country manger at Crocs, was bullish about its recent performance and said that pre-booked orders for spring and summer are "significantly up".
After launching in the UK in 2005, Crocs now has five retail shops in the UK and sells its products through 650 stockists, including Schuh, John Lewis and Next. Despite a long series of UK retailers posting woeful trading figures so far this year, Mr Lucas says: "We are tending to buck the trend. All of our retailers we have grown with over the past 12 to 18 months have seen significant increases with Crocs selling through."
In terms of its global expansion, Mr McCarvel believes the opportunity stretching from Europe to Russia is "huge" if Crocs could capture just 1 per cent of the regions 800 million consumers. Crocs is also powering ahead in other territories, as shown by its fastest-growing country Brazil – which went from revenues of $8m in 2009 to $38m in 2010.
Mr McCarvel, who had been chief operating officer at Crocs before taking the helm, now appears to have a very different challenge to that he faced in the dark years of 2008 and 2009.
He explains: "The biggest challenge that we have is that 41 per cent of our business in the first half of the year is all [from] new products. It is this rapid evolution from this idea that we only sell clogs in 5,000 colours to a footwear brand that is all about comfort, colour and fun."Reuse content

Trust is probably the most oft-mentioned and common ingredient within great ministry teams. Experts from all fields of team building agree on this team essential. No matter what the team ingredient or value is that is being discussed or developed, they really all have their roots in trust or team trust.

Elephant-Hunting in 2013.
When an elephant is in the room, hunt him down … but be careful and be prayerful.We have all experienced those times in discussions with our friends over coffee or over the phone where the "elephant" shows up … haven't we? Or it may be right in the middle of a staff or team meeting at work or at church, when all of a sudden there he is – that crazy "elephant." He's baaaack!The "elephants" in the room are the issues of truth that arise in and around our lives and relationships that we tend to avoid.

The Following Leader
I have come to a big decision. The title of my blog is changing as of right now! It is changing because I am changing and recognizing that there is a great need in the church today to redefine "leadership."

As a Lover or Theorist? – Reading the Bible
How do you read your Bible – as a theorist or lover? First and foremost, as a student/scholar or a eager pursuer? Chris Webb, President of Renovare, challenged me recently to rethink how I read my Bible. He points out in his new book, The Fire of the Word: Meeting God on Holy Ground (IVP), how important it is to make sure we are not just using our heads to read our Bibles, but most of all our hearts.It stands to reason that there is a vast difference between knowing about someone and knowing them personally. For instance, I knew about a young lady named Pamela for three years before I got t … [Read more...]
No More Jiminy Cricket: Reflections on Conscience
In the beloved classic Pinocchio, the puppet that wanted so to be a "real boy" was devoid of one essential component – a "conscience." Since he did not come equipped with one, a lovable, and sometimes irritable, companion named Jiminy Cricket entered the puppet's world and, for a time at least, assumed that role. Jiminy was Pinocchio's constant companion forever dictating advice on the "good" and the "bad" in the potential choices he faced. Depending on Pinocchio's response, the benefits and consequences that ensued in the story proved Jiminy's judgments right again and again.More than any … [Read more...]
So Help Me God!
Mitt Romney and John F. Kennedy have something in common. They both have come under sharp scrutiny with the press and with some of the public over their faith. But, perhaps Romney and his team should take a few cues from JFK.In 1960, with his bid for the presidency in full swing, many people were worried about Kennedy's Catholicism. At one point, it appeared that the biggest hurdle for him to clear in order to end up in the White House was a religious one. Among the concerns then were: What would it mean to have a Catholic president? Would the pope now become infallible over political p … [Read more...]

Just a Minute With: English director Mike Leigh
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - English director Mike Leigh has been praised for his award-winning films that cast a critical and realistic eye on British society through gritty, heartbreaking characters.
His new film, "Happy-Go-Lucky," set to be released in the United States October 10, has some saying he is at last looking on the bright side of life with the film centering on Poppy, a free-spirited London teacher who is perpetually optimistic.
But Leigh, 65, who began his career as a theater director and playwright, says such judgments are simplistic and the film is not so different from his Academy-award nominated other films including "Vera Drake" and "Secrets & Lies".
Q. Why do you describe this as an "anti-miserablist" film?
A. "There is much cause to be gloomy and pessimistic in the world but there are people out there getting on with it, notwithstanding teachers like Poppy who are cherishing and nurturing the future."
Q. You cite things like destroying the planet as an example of today's gloom and cynicism. What other particular world events or issues may have inspired you in your thoughts about countering that?
A. "My job as a filmmaker and a storyteller is instinctively to tap into the zeitgeist and get on with it and tell stories of the particular and so when I talk about 'we are destroying the planet and destroying each other', you and I both know what that means and it is not a particular event, it is the general condition."
Q. How do you consider yourself in relation to such talk about optimism? Continued...

While Mr Tillet claimed Chief Buthelezi's turnabout as a victory for the Zulu kingdom, his report confirmed the boycott was an unpopular notion among many living along the dividing line between Inkatha- and African National Congress-controlled zones in urban townships and rural areas of northern Natal. With Inkatha off the ballot, voting would have meant public exposure as a potential ANC supporter, while failing to do so would have indicated sympathy for Inkatha.
But some election campaign observers did not believe one week was long enough to create an atmosphere for free and fair elections. 'I do not really think this will facilitate free expression because the chiefs can still prevent it in their areas,' said Mary de Haas, a peace monitor. 'The situation on the ground is not going to dramatically improve.'
The voting days should be peaceful, with none of the main parties attempting to disrupt them, but the next week could witness an intensification of turf battles in the low- level civil war between Inkatha and the ANC that has claimed an estimated 10,000 lives in the past four years. Since President F W de Klerk declared a state of emergency in Natal and the KwaZulu 'homeland' on 31 March, political violence has claimed the lives of 254 people.
'The immediate tension around the 27 April election has been removed,' Mr Tillet said. 'But it does not mean the removal of the fundamental ideological differences and the causes of the conflict' between Inkatha and the ANC. They don't have control over their members and supporters. Our leaders do.'
In the rural areas, Inkatha's leaders, particularly traditional chiefs, the Amakhosi, have confiscated identity cards to stop people voting. Voter educationalists have risked death in rural areas, where largely illiterate residents form the backbone of Chief Buthelezi's support.
But Mr Tillet said that Inkatha had been conducting its own voter education 'for a long time'.
The threat of violence had forced the Independent Electoral Commission to announce last week that it was cutting the number of voting booths in the province from 1,500 to 900. A better figure would be 750, regional police and army commanders said in Durban on Monday.
Inkatha should be helped by the presence at many pollings stations in the homeland of the KwaZulu police, seen by many as Chief Buthelezi's private army. 'In all of the rural areas, members of the ZP (KwaZulu Police) are seen to be involved in violence,' said Ms Haas. 'It is unacceptable to have them patrolling the polling booths.'
The end of the boycott was expected to remove a burden on many people who wanted to vote but were dissuaded by King Goodwill Zwelithini's suggestion that a Zulu who cast a ballot was not a true Zulu. His strong pro-Inkatha position, many Zulus believed, had soiled the monarchy with Natal's particularly violent brand of party politics.
'There is always tension between the divine and the human in the concept of any kingdom, but the great strength of the monarchy is its remoteness from human affairs,' said Professor Jeff Guy, head of the history department at the University of Natal. 'The King will have the powerful emotional response as long as he remains above it all, and if he enters the political realm, he loses some of it.'
The relationship between Chief Buthelezi and his nephew, King Goodwill, has often been tense. In the 1970s, Chief Buthelezi successfully championed a KwaZulu constitution which limited the king's role to a ceremonial one. When KwaZulu gained 'territorial authority' in 1972, Chief Buthelezi wrote: 'Zulus love their king and it is unthinkable that he should be given executive functions which mean inevitable involvement in politics . . . which would tarnish the royal image.'
The king fled from the Legislative Assembly chamber in the KwaZulu capital, Ulundi, in 1979, during a debate in which he was accused of, among other things, advocating violence to overthrow the homeland government. 'The king is an important power base around which Buthelezi does not want a point of opposition to coalesce,' said Professor Guy.
In recent years, however, Chief Buthelezi attempted to exploit the king for political purposes, culminating in the monarch's effective support for Inkatha's election boycott and his call on 18 March for a sovereign Zulu state. King Goodwill has often referred to Chief Buthelezi, the homeland chief minister, as 'the traditional prime minister to the Zulu nation'.
Key to Chief Buthelezi's decision to contest the polls must have been the imminent disappearance of the KwaZulu homeland, with its system of patronage financed by the South African state and the offer of a paid constitutional monarchy for the king. The spreading violence also threatened his constituency among the small upper class of chiefs, wealthier landowners, new black businessmen, sugar farmers and some professionals.

Dublin, TX
Sponsored Topics
Dublin is a city located in Southwestern Erath County in Central Texas. The population was 3,754 at the time of the 2000 census.
The town is the home of the world's oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant (see Dublin Dr Pepper). The plant, still in operation, was for many years the only US source for Dr Pepper made with real cane sugar (from Texas-based Imperial Sugar), instead of less expensive high fructose corn syrup. Contractual requirements previously limited the plant's distribution range to a 40-mile radius of Dublin, an area encompassing Stephenville, Tolar, Comanche and Hico. However, this restriction was later[ambiguous] lifted, and now the "original" formula is available throughout most of Texas and over the Internet.
Dublin was also the boyhood home of legendary golfer Ben Hogan, who was born on August 13, 1912, at the hospital in nearby Stephenville. Hogan lived in Dublin until 1921, when he and his family relocated to Fort Worth.

The statement said: "Danny Goffey has announced today that his wife Pearl Lowe has suffered a miscarriage.
"The couple have asked to respect their privacy at this difficult time."
Lowe's agent declined to give any more information other than the statement.
In an interview with Hello! magazine last month announcing the pregnancy, Lowe said: "Danny and I are over the moon."
She said that her model daughter Daisy Lowe, 21, whose father is Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, had also been very pleased to hear the news of her pregnancy.
The couple's other children are Alfie, 13, Frankie, 10 and Betty, 4.

Qualms regarding Horo's development in Spice and Wolf 2Monday, November 2nd, 2009
The past week has actually just been one long joyride for me: after I realized that anime, after all, is not as harmful an addiction, I have enjoyed the free time that would be absent until perhaps Christmas. A day after I watched Bakemonogatari, I started watching a series I vowed to finish when it aired, and it was the second season of Spice and Wolf. As a show fuelled by character development, the show was solid and quite well-done. However, I did not like it as much as the first season because it seemed as if the second season revealed a cornucopia of Lawrence's character: despite being a merchant, he has grown to be kinder and more caring as well as knowing what his real priority in life is. On the other hand, I felt Horo remained relatively staid: nothing really developed from her, and from what I observed she has changed little from her actuations during the first season. This has been most obvious especially during the final arc of the second season, where while Lawrence pours his entire heart and soul just to have Horo as a companion, and finally realizes his own feelings towards her, Horo nonchalantly remains the same knowledgeable, kind, but flirtatious character.
It is undeniable that Horo has feelings for Lawrence. Even when he felt she was going away from him, she was actually trying to assure his victory over Amati. Her loyalty lies with Lawrence, and it reflects in her actions that she treasures Lawrence beyond just a friend, or even a best friend. However, she keeps on dragging Lawrence, playing with him, and never telling him what she truly feels for him. While this unwillingness to open herself up is extremely understandable (she has loved before, and it has ultimately ended up with the death of her love), I was just thinking that she should stop toying Lawrence around. If she could perhaps curb her tongue when she speaks, and perhaps just cherish their moments together it would probably be better.
It is no longer Lawrence's turn to act. He has willingly sacrificed everything he had valued before because he loves Horo, and he has put that into words. He lost a significant amount of money, could no longer be a town merchant, but he was willing to give all of his previous apices just to be with her. Even with that, Horo barely reciprocates his emotions. I just don't really find it funny, sweet, or heartening.
Has anyone watched the second season and observed this? Perhaps actions speak louder than words, but words are still important to convey one's truth in one's emotions. One cannot live with actions alone, and it is with this reason that people get mad when they have no one to talk to. Madness arises from the inability of people to reach out to others and to ask for help through their own words. Horo may have been hurt in the past, but I don't think that's an excuse to skirt the truth of the matter regarding Lawrence.
The second season remained to be an eminent show. But for all its beauty, a unidirectional development will eventually be tiring. My own ranking of the season would be an 8/10.

okay my kids go to a Catholic school and lately my youngest who is in Kinder has been telling me that his friends have girlfrinds and boyfrinds and they kiss each other......NOW i am sorry but i just do NOT agree with this behavior and encouraging this in school so i went to the principal and he was very supportive i have a meeting with the teacher and him on monday to come up with idea's as to hop to solve the problem.....Any suggestions ???? I have tried to google lesson plans but nothing and any info still nothing ????? Help please!!!!???
First, you need to realize that this behavior is very typical for kids this age. Kissing each other doesn't mean the same kind of romantic ties for a 6 year old that it does for a teen or an adult. It's usually playing glorified 'house'. In addition, I bet there's a lot more talk about kissing than ever actually happened. 6 year olds aren't the most reliable reporters, remember.
When ds was in K, his teachers warned us that this behavior might pop up, and they talked about how they would deal with it. They didn't want us to be freaked out. I also have vivid memories of first grade where my friends and I would chase the boys around the playground so we could kiss them. I'm not sure we ever caught them, mind you!
I would first and foremost ask for closer supervision at recess time, when I assume this is happening. Well supervised kids have a harder time getting away with this. I'd then ask the teacher to have a talk with all the kids about keeping their bodies to themselves. That includes hitting, poking, tickling and yes, kissing. None of that is appropriate behavior at school.
What I would not do is shame the kids into thinking that kissing is bad. It's not bad, it's just not appropriate for this time or place.
I'll just second everything Lynn said. Increasing supervision at recess should really help.
My dd's teacher has sent home letters a few months apart about kissing (and other keep-your-hands-to-yourself behavior) occurring, asking us to discuss with our children what is appropriate behavior in school (I don't have the letter anymore so I don't remember the wording). Dd was initially the "overly affectionate with everyone child" and the teacher spoke to me about it (and mentioned there was one or two every year), so I assume she did with other parents as well.
Our school seems to handle it as a "violation" of the school handbook/behavior code and the parents deal with the boyfriends/girlfriends angle.
thank you for your responses ..although i know it is a normal thing for all kids to go though and i am NOT a prude!!! i feel it's a bit out of controle ..with the children and the parents encouraging it!!!! and so the teacher says that they have been spoken too i feel mabe that they have not gotten it so it has been suggested that a note go home to the parents asking us (as parents NOT) to support this kind of behavior and that it's an ongoing issue that the teacher need support with...I think that is fair!!! Being a teacher myself i think that is a good way to approch it!!! Better supporvision out side yeah that could work too and it was also brought up!!!! Now a days children know way to much and we need to encourage the inocennce of them......When i was a kid it WAS cute but today ...no!!!!
I think a talk about why we kiss and what it means, and where its appropriate is the best bet, and I agree with the increased supervision too
However, I dont think making a big deal of it will help the problem, it is completely natural and part of the stages of development to be curious and notice differences, kissing is the same. I had "boyfriends" in kindergarden, and played kissing tag.
I think as a parent, or anyone its a bit disturbing? i guess you could say because they are sooo young yet mimicing adolescent/adult behaviour. Your concern is valid for sure, but I would keep a minor hands off on this.
I agree about the shame, that's not right either, it will become the forbidden fruit
kissing is ok but you need to state the perimeters of why and whom with

Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay has refused to be drawn on Frank Lampard's future at the club. Lampard's Chelsea contract runs out at the end of the season when he would be free to leave Stamford Bridge after 12 years. It was reported in some outlets on Tuesday that Gourlay had suggested talks with the 34-year-old midfielder had begun over a new deal, but the club quickly claimed he had been misquoted before posting his comments on their official website. Speaking at a press conference to promote a forthcoming pre-season trip to Asia, Gourlay refused to confirm or deny talks with Lampard. "I am not prepared to discuss this (Lampard's future) at this time," he said. "Obviously conversations must remain confidential between the club and the players at all times so that is as much as I can say." Chelsea have previously refused to talk about any possible discussions with their players, including Lampard, and remained tight-lipped on Tuesday. Lampard's potential exit is one of...

We love the combination of the ladder back chairs and a Reclaimed Barnwood Bench to complete the rustic chic look. For more questions of comments, please call our Amish Furniture Specialist at 866-272-6773.

This cruise is NOT for sunbirds
Sail Date: July 16, 2016
Reviewed: 10 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
This cruise had an excellent itinerary. Don't take this cruise for the food.
This cruise had 2 tender ports and the tendering was handled very smoothly.
Interestingly, this was the land of the midnight sun, and the only time we saw the sun was between 10pm and midnight.

|If you're there overnight, you cannot do any better the Airport Hilton for service and convenience. Getting to and from the center of town is a snap by metro. Getting to and from the airport is a walk across the street.

If you're a smoker, then the only spot to smoke is deck 9, aft. Unless of course, you have a balcony.

Manchester City to face league rivals in Soccer Sevens
Manchester City will find Sunderland barring the way when they make their debut in next month's HKFC Citibank International Soccer Sevens.
City, one of four top seeds in the main section of the May 24-26 tournament, were drawn against their Premier League rivals in group A yesterday.
Defending champions Newcastle United will face Leicester City in group B while Scotland's Rangers will need to overcome Hong Kong's soon-to-be-decided champions, most likely South China, in group C.
Aston Villa, five-times winners, will be favourites to top group D but will need to overcome two Hong Kong First Division clubs.
"It promises to be another thrilling tournament," said Tony Bratsanos, the event's chairman.
"The top four seeds - City, Newcastle, Rangers and Villa - are all renowned for their excellent academies and they will be sending outstanding young footballers to compete here."
In the masters event, defending champions Ajax All-Stars have been drawn in the same pool as the Rangers All-Star team. The main event features academy players from top teams, while the masters section features players aged 35 and over.
