Location: Gypsum Ruins
The players head to an ancient, recently-abandoned ruins after hearing that a ghost haunts the deeper caverns and has driven all of the archeologists away. They meet the NPC Grayson, who is an experienced and excited young man who seeks out treasure and mysteries, and work together to get inside the ruins. Trouble finds the group as they begin to realize the full dangers in the trapped home of an ancient Pokemon.
The layout and overall theme of the Gypsum Ruins can be anything the GM desires. This can be based on mayan or egyptian architecture. Set in the desert, the forest, even underwater or in a cave. The choice is up to the GM, as is the layout. Below we will assume that the structure is a square with inner and outer rings of chambers. Though we won't introduce or use unown other than the shape of letters during this event, it is a very opportunistic time to do so if the GM wants.
Meeting Grayson:
The team enters a town to hear the news about the Gypsum Ruins being discovered. The ruins can exist anywhere for convenience. Access to the ruins should be remote and a little hard to get to, but a large enough public event that people are flocking there to see what can be discovered. The group can get their on their own or take a bus offering a ride for a fee.
After arriving at the ruins, it will be learned that they have been shut down because of traps and missing archeologists. Members of the excavation team have gone missing and others have been seriously injured. Police are now preventing entry to the ruins.
The group will meet Grayson, an Archeologist and Treasure Hunter who has traveled around the world. Grayson has met dead ends at every turn trying to get in the Gypsum Ruins as the site is locked off by officials and all of the archeologists and dig teams won't give him any information. The group finds him attempting to win them over to help him get in the ruins. He'll tell them almost anything they want to hear after he sees them battle or possess the right gym badges.
Grayson: I bet you folks could help find those lost surveyors. They have to be down there, scared and alone. You've got, what? A bunch of Gym Badges. We should definitely get in there and help them. What do you say?
Grayson: Not only will we be heroes, but I bet there's a bunch of treasure. We'll definitely make out well going in there. Fortune, fame, and doing the right thing. We should do it.
Entering the Ruins:
Getting inside the ruins requires stealth or diplomacy. Or a connection with Mr. E or a Professor that gets them get past the guards stationed outside the entrance. Activating this could cost the group something, if appropriate, like a promise or extra task from said connection.
. . Grayson's Way:
Grayson will always suggest sneaking and subterfuge. He doesn't play by the rules and will recommend sneaking in, looking for hidden passages, and stealing information from the archeologists. The stealth check past the guards, without outside circumstances, is a DC 25 stealth check. Distractions or going in at night will provide appropriate bonuses (up to +5), however, the area is lit quite well at night to prevent this. The group may need to use an ability to scare, disable, or take out the guards. Doing so will alert people that they've entered the ruins, though, after some time based on circumstances.
Grayson: Listen, I'm all about following rules. But these people have put up so much red tape that it's going to be impossible to get inside and help those people down there. We have to do it or no one will.
Grayson: Before we head in, we might try getting the maps the previous archeologist already discovered. It will save us some time and we can learn from their mistakes, I hope. But getting it could be tricky…
. . The Diplomatic Way
Gaining entry into the Ruins through pure diplomacy will require the group to talk to the lead of Dig Team No. 3, who made it the furthest into the ruins and have the most people injured and missing; and the police guarding the ruins. They will have to show that they are competent and prepared for the challenge.
If anyone knowingly knows that Grayson is helping them, who's reputation as a Treasure Hunter proceeds him, it should add a +5 to the DC. All negotiations will start out with 'unfavorable' toward the character's cause, because of the danger present. Having a contact speak for the group can get the team in or give them a bonus to the check to get inside.
. . The Dig Team's Information
Acquiring the maps of the camped archeologists will require the group to sneak into the right tents, find them, and get them out without anyone knowing. (DCs can range from DC 20 to 30 and go up depending on how many they acquire in this way.) Or, if they acquire permission from an outside source, they can try to win them from one of the dig teams. There are Three (3) dig teams, each with different information. Getting them to give up their secrets will require three separate diplomacy checks with each dig teams leader. DC 15, 20, and 25. Promising favors can give the team a +5 to the check or a skip it all together, but could make it harder to procure information from the others.
Each team can provide as much or as little as the GM sees fit to provide, based on how difficult it is to procure the information from them. One group may provide basic information about the ruins that don't help them get inside the ruins at all, while another might outline the entire layout of one of the challenge chambers so the group can prepare before they get there.
The Outer Rooms
However they get in, the group will discover the outer rooms of the ruins to be all simple and dusty, with strange hieroglyphics on the walls. The unown writing can be discerned in some areas, but is mostly accounts of history and lineage from ancient times. A lot of it is also damaged or worn away from time and the elements.
The rooms range in size and span the base of the square ruins. It becomes obvious that there are inner chambers, but all but one door is closed, which is where the previous teams had entered.
The First and Second Inner Chambers
Inside the first and second inner chambers are a series of puzzles for the players to figure out. Any setting and Power Limit appropriate puzzle is fine. In real life, this could be an actual puzzle the players have to put together. On the play by posts boards it could be a riddle or power check of an appropriate skill. Example: Lighting the correct set of lamps in the right order.
Depending on your layout, the teams will work their way closer to the 'inner most chamber' with each puzzle. I would limit this to two puzzles at maximum. Clues can be given in the form of information written down and acquired from the dig teams appropriate to the team's success at gaining this information.
The Third to Fifth Chamber(s)
After the harmless puzzles come the traps. Dangerous hazards that sent the previous explorers packing back to the base. Arrows, pit falls, poisonous gasses or other environmental hazard that require a skill check or power to avoid, get through, or prevent. These should be chosen to highlight both strengths and weaknesses of the player's pokemon. I recommend no more than three major challenges before reaching the second to last room.
The [Next to] Last Chamber
If the follow up event: The Bronzong Tolls is not desired, this is the last chamber of the Gypsum Ruins. Either way, it should be described as the inner most room, with only the entrance they came through providing exit. As the PC's enter, read the following:
GM: Despite Grayson's promises, the team has not seen a single pokemon inside the ruins. As they enter this next room they find their first sighting of a stone statue in the shape of a Slowking. It is a stern looking piece of craftsmanship with harsh angles and sharp points in the sculpture. At the center of it's crown is a bright gem that flashes when the group's lights hit it. Grayson looks at it hungrily.
GM: Filling the rest of the room are many more statues. But instead of Pokemon, these are simple human shapes with much less detail than the Slowking at the center. Each statue looks like a mummy, wrapped in bandages, and wearing a golden mask. Other masks, each unique, are set in the walls and design of the room and again in the upright sarcophagus's along the walls.
Grayson: Jackpot! This must be a burial chamber. Or maybe a burial preparation chamber? I don't know, I'll have to look around a bit more. It looks like the last room, though, but I feel like there's got to be more...
Grayson: Look at all this gold and these gems. This is amazing! We're going to make a fortune!
Grayson: Oh yeah, the lost diggers. I wonder what happened to them…
Grayson will attempt to retrieve the gem from the Slowking statue while the rest of the group investigates. If he is successful, the masks will attack him full out and attempt to possess him and his Pokemon. If they are successful, they will gain him and his pokemon against the others. As the players interfere, the statues around the room will come to life and try to stop them as well. At some point, the group should discover that the statues around the room aren't actually statues, but rather the possessed and tightly wrapped archeologists.
The Yamask will attempt to capture every last human and disabling any Pokemon that get in the way. They will be bound and wrapped with bandages and sucked into the sarcophagi along the walls.
IF this is the last stage of this event, the players should battle it out and need to defeat all the Yamask to win. The ghost pokemon are catchable and can join the party if done so.
IF the follow up event: The Bronzong Tolls is planned for, the Yamask are still capturable, but the part should be GM fiated out of the room after one or more players have been captured. (Grayson and/or Timothy Thorn can be captured if no PCs are)
Under the Hood: Feel free to have fun and make this part really spooky, depending on your group's actions and level of interest with ghosts. They haven't spotted the other diggers, but this is the only place they could be. Let players feel like the masks are looking at them, following them around the room.
Inspiration from Bulbapedia:
Yamask: Due to being a human long ago, it has memories of being a human. If someone wears the mask Yamask carries, they will become possessed by the Yamask in question. Sometimes, it looks at this mask and cries, apparently in longing. Yamask is known to wander the ruins of ancient civilizations.
Power Level 4; Power Points 45/45
Ghost Type: Cost 10 points
(Vulnerability: Dark, Ghost. Resist: Bug, Poison. Immunity: Fighting, Normal)
The battle, defeat or capture of the Yamask and rescue of the archeologists can be the final stage of this Event. If a larger boss battle is desired, the event will be continued in:


text: STYLE Media Frenzy Over Anne Hathaway's Wardrobe Malfunction At NY 'Les Mis' Premiere 10:20 AM PST 12/12/2012 by Elizabeth Snead FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images The "Les Miserables" star neglected to wear underwear, and a photo of the classy actress' 'Full Hathaway' has caused quite the Internet commotion. So maybe the devil doesn't wear … underwear? Anne Hathaway had such a great night planned Monday. First, she appeared on Late Show With David Letterman. Then she slipped into an edgy Tom Ford black silk gown and a super-cool pair of Tom Ford bondage boots to hit the New York premiere of Les Miserables. PHOTOS: Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe at the London 'Les Mis' Premiere Then she gets out of her limo and -- BAM! -- a photographer snaps a shot of her bare-naked lady parts. And boy, is the media having a field day with this revelation. Suddenly, she is being compared to Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. Us Weekly ran a photo of Hathaway getting exiting the limo with a hot pink circle over her naughty bits. Access Hollywood even made mention of Hathaway missing her unmentionables on Tuesday night's show. Hollywood Life says Hathaway went "commando," asking how on Earth she could have forgotten underwear or even a simple thong. Grazia compared her kinky designer boots to orthopedic leg braces. And The International Business Times mentions her "accidentally flashing her nether regions." VIDEO: David Letterman Expresses Mock Horror at Anne Hathaway's Weight Loss According to the New York Daily News, Hathaway dreamed a dream, all right -- but it didn't involve wearing panties, something the paper is calling "the Full Hathaway." It also reported that during a luncheon Tuesday at the Four Seasons, Hathaway was overheard moaning about her mishap in the black taffeta gown. "I was getting out of the car, and my dress was so tight that I didn't realize it until I saw all the photographers' flashes," she told Vanity Fair writer Ingrid Sischy. "It was devastating. They saw everything. I might as well have lifted up my skirt for them." STORY: Inside the Fight To Bring 'Les Mis" To The Screen There is one upside to the night: Eco Razzie veered from the prurient tack taken by most media outlets, noting that Hathaway was wearing faux leather boots in accordance with her cruelty-free ethics . Maybe we should all be cruelty-free and just let this embarrassing incident pass -- hopefully without a Saturday Night Live skit. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Elizabeth Snead email@example.com @thr

Preschool naps should be preserved, even in the face of pressures to add more to the curriculum, say researchers who concluded that sleep enhances kids' memories.
Children who took midday naps of an average of a little longer than an hour performed better on a task that day and the next day than did the kids who didn't nap, scientists reported this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
They also found that the non-nappers couldn't make up the deficit with nighttime sleep.
This is important, the researchers said, in part because there had not been previous research on why napping is important, and as a result, that time was targeted in efforts to find more opportunities for learning because even young children are under pressure for academic achievement.
"With increased curriculum demands and taxpayer pressure, classroom nap opportunities are becoming devalued," the researchers wrote. These children are in the process of growing from babies who slept off and on all day to children who sleep primarily at night.
"We offer scientific evidence that the midday naps for preschoolers support the academic goals of early education," lead researcher Rebecca Spencer, a research psychologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said in a statement.
The researchers looked at 40 children from six western Massachusetts preschools, ages 3 to 5 1/2. They taught the kids a visual spatial task in the guise of a memory game in which the children were asked to remember where various pictures were located on a grid.
Each child played the game without a nap, and after a nap. And they played it the following day. Right after a nap, there wasn't much difference based on the sleeping.
But later in the afternoon, the kids recalled 10% more of the picture locations if they had napped than if they had stayed awake. And the benefit remained the next day, the researchers wrote.
The researchers took another group of children, 14 preschoolers, into a sleep lab and assessed them as they napped. The researchers found that the changes in performance were associated with what's called spindle density. What they found, they said, may be connected to a process "underlying the stabilization and consolidation of the memory."
Napping should be considered for helping children who have learning delays, the scientists said.
And they concluded, "Although curriculum demands for preschool classrooms are increasing, the benefit of the sleep on learning warrants preservation of the nap opportunity."
Not to mention the break it gives the teachers.

The more I think about this, one event sticks out as one of the nails in the coffin of Wayne Krivsky and may give us insight into the man's communication skills that someone mentioned.
I hae no ideas where I read this, but apparently somewhere Dusty mentioned that he had no idea Wayne was acquiring Josh Fogg. The disaster that Fogg became probably hacked off Dusty and he began to lobby for Wayne's dismissal. Also consider the little problems with Bucky Dent and Johnny Alvarez.
Just a theory. If a guy is looking to fire someone, he didn't need amunition from the manager and other cronies.

Kudos to Boss and all who have kept this site from shutting down under all this action!!
I am absolutely thrilled with this. GREAT news. First, we conquer our division, and then the world!!! Bwa ha ha ha ha!! (yay)
I don't think a 9-12 start was enough to get WK fired, I don't think poor internal comunications or external communications or THE TRADE or dead money or poor roster construction orany one single thing got Krivsky fired. I think all of them together were enough.
Krivsky was in the last year of his contract and BCast had to make a decision on whether to re-up him or not and I think he finally made the decision that he would not extend him, so why wait until they might be 12-25 or 18-40?
Especially when he had someone that he trusted and respected in-house in Jocketty. I think that Krivsky did some positive things during his tenure, but there were enough questionable decision also to keep me from second-guessing the move.
I think changes are coming and the period between now and the trading deadline should be most interesting.
There are some bright spots on this club, but there are more than enough things not to like. I believe that Jocketty has had more than enough timeto identify some that he doesn't care ofr and he doesn't strike me as someone who is going to wait months to put his own stamp on a club he runs.
It wouldn't surprise me if he receives congratulatory calls from former trading partners in the next couple of days and it would surprise me even less if he didn't use those calls to start stoking the trade fires - starting with fortifying the bench.

After reading many articles written on this topic, I noted (and, for the most part, rightfully so) that most of the authors were quick to bring up Arroyo as Wayne's claim to fame. His biggest and best move. The one that put him on the map.
Lucky for him that he won't be around for the end of the Arroyo story, as I have a feeling that this one is going to end badly. That extension is looking worse by the day.
2 year deal for Stanton, ANOTHER deal for Castro,
The Reds have what appears to be good starting pitching for the first time in decades.
The Reds have what appears to be healthy pitching prospects moving steadily up the talent pipeline in the minor leagues.
The Reds are continuing to develop bats, many of which were acquired in the two recent drafts of the Krivsky era.
At the end of the day, I was a Wayne Krivsky supporter. He was working within the constraints of small market -- small market demands you nibble at the corners for some things while spending big money on others. Small market demands you gamble occasionally and hope to land the big score. He swung and miss on a few, he hit big on a few others.
The core of this team (Votto, Phillips, Keppinger, Dunn, Cueto, Volquez, Harang) WILL win. I'd lay my own money that they will be a postseason team within the next two years. Jocketty will get the credit, but it will be Krivsky that laid the foundation for this to happen.
I wish Wayne nothing but the best.
Cincinnati Here We Go.

As accordance to the Colorado State Dept. of Health & Human Services our camp can accommodate 110 children daily. A ratio of 1:9 will be kept when only one counselor is on staff. Once the 10th child shows up, a second counselor must be on duty. Once 2 counselors are on site a 1:15 ratio is required. However, many times our day camp has a 1:10 ratio. The day camp director is responsible for planning staff ratios. All staff members counted in the ratio hold a current First Aid/CPR Certification.
Injured Children
All camp staff are trained in first aid and CPR. If your child becomes ill or injured during camp hours, you will be asked to come pick them up. Injury reports will be reported immediately.
If, at any time throughout the year, your child develops a medical condition, please notify us so that we can be aware of the situation.
In any event of illness, injury and accidents parents will be contacted.
Sick Children Rules & Regulations
Camp policy requires all children who have a fever, diarrhea, are vomiting, or are taking anti-biotics must not attend camp for 24 hours.
Children who come to camp sick, will be sent home with no refunds available.
Some of our staff has been certified in Medication Administration. However, we cannot administer any medication without a written note by parents and a doctor.
All medications must be kept in the original container AND a "Permission for Medication" form must be filled out and on file.
Please contact the camp director if you have a child who requires medication at camp: (970) 379-7178
Sunscreen - Sunscreen is considered "medication" by the state; please mark "yes" on the Camper Health Registration Form for counselors to apply your child's' sunscreen.
Children with Special Needs
In accordance with state licensing and the American Disabilities Act, we offer services to children with special needs. We work in partnership with the local non-profit in order to offer excellent care to children who have special needs.
Natural Disaster / Emergency Plan
If a natural disaster occurs while your child is at camp, please tune you radio to KSPN, 97.7 for instructions. You will be instructed to the location of the campers and the procedure you should follow to pick them up.
Inclement Weather Policy & Procedure
In the event of inclement or excessively hot weather, we will cancel any outdoor activities. Any lightning, wind gusts, or temperature above 95 degrees may qualify for canceling outdoor activities. If the weather becomes inclement while we are on site, we will go to the nearest park shelter and go back to camp locations.
Lost Child Procedure
The City of Aspen Day Camp staff ensures the safety of your child at all times. Each day and for each activity counselors will take roll call. In the event of a missing or lost child, counselors will stay at the site until the child is found. Parents will be notified if the child is missing for more than 15 minutes.
Policy for Reporting Child Abuse
As required by Colorado State Department of Social Services, staff are required to read and sign a statement defining child abuse and neglect pursuant to state law and outlining the staff member's personal responsibility to report all incidents of child abuse or neglect according to state law. If abuse or neglect is suspected, it must immediately be reported to Pitkin County Social Services or law enforcement agency.
Discipline Policies & Procedures
Discipline is the guidance, encouragement and support that we use to influence children as they learn and grow.
Our staff is trained to handle situations that may arise at camp. In order to provide our campers with a safe, supervised environment, we must adhere to certain guidelines and expectations for appropriate behavior. The framework for these guidelines will foster responsibility, self-discipline, growth and judgment within our campers. Behavioral issues that persist will be handled through a system of communication that includes children, their parents or guardians and a supervising staff member called the Better Behavior Plan. We encourage parents or guardians to communicate with counselors as often as possible regarding concerns, to ask questions or simply to inquire about their child's day.
If a child fails to adhere to the safety measures put into place at camp it may be required that a parent come pick up the child to ensure safety of the group. The child may return to camp once the situation has been discussed with a supervising staff member, parent and child. If the child reaches three infractions requiring a better behavior form further action will be taken as deemed appropriate by the director.

Department Vision & Philosophy
To preserve, enhance and provide access to our recreational facilities, parks, open space and trails.
Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community's greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.
The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.
The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.
The City's recreation programs and facilities have become a valuable asset for year-round residents as well as building on the community's reputation as a center for high quality recreation. These programs and facilities must be constantly reassessed and revitalized in order to maintain one of the most valued features of the Aspen area.

Kate Gosselin and her children will return to TLC for an upcoming one-hour television special.
Gosselin first came to fame with her then-husband Jon on the show Jon & Kate Plus 8 in 2007. The series followed the couple's day-to-day lives and focused on their eight children -- twins Cara and Mady, and sextuplets Alexis, Aaden, Collin, Hannah, Leah and Joel.
The title of the show was changed to Kate Plus 8 in 2009 after the couple divorced, and the series was cancelled in 2011.
Gosselin and the children will return to the spotlight for a new television special. The one-hour program will update viewers on the children's lives and highlight how they have grown since the series' cancellation. The special will also discuss Gosselin's life as a single mom, and will feature the family's favorite footage from their reality show.
The special will air on TLC this June.

Style Direction: Watercolor Goth
Hello friends!
How are you on this fine spring day? I can literally hear birds chirping outside of my window. Even the grating sound of someone continuously pressing the buzzer in my neighbor's apartment can't annoy me today.
That being said, it is finals right now, and I kind of feel like I'm going to keel over and explode at any minute now. If you are in the middle of finals as you read this, good luck and remember to breathe!
In the spirit of spring time, I've decided to write up a little Style Direction post featuring my Spring and Summer 2012 style that I'm feeling right now.
For lack of a better name, I'm going to temporarily title it
Wicked Watercolor Riot GURL
or maybe Wicked for short. Maybe FROTH- frothy fresh goth. Watercolor Wicked? There we go. I like them both.
So anyway, forging on! When it comes to fashion, (and life), I crush on everything. I can't help but mix a million elements into my personal style. My ADHD addled art student brain sops up everything and mixes it in the blender to spit out a darkly glittering cocktail of INSPIRING FEELINGS.
The recipe for my Watercolor Wicked style is as follows:
Take the fabrics, jewelry, and silhouettes of the First War era glam, dunk it in the colors of a Kathy Dennis Impressionist Watercolor, and sprinkle in the accessories of a true riot punk.
Use as many OLD THINGS as possible to achieve this look. (And remember, darling, time is elastic, and old is subjective.)
all images are click-through to source
what i'm into for summer: fluffy shorts under fifties dresses, shredded and cropped tees, Peter Pan collars, fresh-to-death colorful sneakers, gypsy jewelry, comic book tee-shirts, spiked accessories, knee socks, black, pastels, flowers in my hair, snapbacks and baseball caps.
What's your style inspiration this summer?

Project Vagabond NYC
Woahhhh! It's been a minute and a rough month, but I'm back, and Blogger looks....different? Seems like it's gonna take some getting used to.
Anyway, I have some exciting news! After a heck of a lot of planning and some collaborations, I am so, so so excited to present my new project to you all: Project Vagabond!
The basic premise of Project Vagabond is that it is a clothing project that fuels community, events, and social activism. We are interested in using art and fashion to propel events and causes into the community. We're really just trying to bring people together through art, fashion, and interesting events.
At the same time we hope to explore & discover how fashion grants access, forms groups, and affects social situations.
Our first event is going to be a photo-shoot collaboration about street style and fashion in public spaces. If you show up, you have the chance to be featured on our blog (PROJECT VAGABOND ON TUMBLR) and in a guest magazine. CHECK OUT OUR ETSY STORE!
And if you need some motivation to check us out, here's a behind the scenes photo from our recent photoshoot.
Vagabond Fringe Tee modeled by the lovely Avanti!
It's going to be happening on Saturday, May 5th (CINCO DE MAYO!) in Thompkins Square Park in NYC at 2 PM. You can RSVP to the Facebook event here.
I know that this is a lot of links, but I'm really super excited and I wanted to share this all with you guys first!
Hope to see you on Cinco de Mayo!

HEY GUYYS! It's been like AGES so in the spirit of happiness and Disney and springtime and breaks, here is a THINGS I LOVE THIS WEEK!
I am currently on my Spring Break and it's been amazing so far! I have had my share of both excitement and relaxation, and I am in the best mood. I was in Orlando, Florida from Saturday until yesterday with some of the best people, and we spent a few days hanging by the pool and two days at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ORLANDO! It is one of my favorite theme parks (My favorite rides are Harry Potter ride, Spider-Man, and ET-hahahha!) and I had a blast!
Things I Love:
♥ pizza; ♥ getting to spend part of my break on vacation in Orlando, Florida!; ♥ Marvel Comics (duh but seriously..I am so thankful that Marvel exists in the world);
here i am fighting the Green Goblin. Don't worry, i totally kicked his ass and saved the city. You're welcome.
♥ Craigslist; ♥ The Shins; ♥ reading a good book all night because I can't stop reading even though I have to wake up early; ♥ nice people who work in airports (IT IS A RARE THING); ♥ Dr. Seuss; ♥ mini roller coasters; ♥ pad thai; pastel colors; ♥ sunglasses; ♥ sunshine; ♥ cute lizards; ♥ Superhero Island; ♥ The Lorax (the book and character, I haven't seen the movie yet!); ♥ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter;
♥ theme parks; ♥ Minnie Mouse; ♥ the importance of a good breakfast; ♥ friends who bring you coffee in the morning; ♥ iHop; ♥ getting style inspiration from magazines; ♥ forgetting that sometimes it's hard for people in Florida to understand me because I talk really fast and have a bit of a NY accent. ♥ sneaking into the pool after it closes; ♥ being back home, where people walk fast and ice cream places stay open after 9 pm; ♥ characters
What are you thankful for this week?

Chemistry Tutor Concord CA
Certified Chemistry Tutor Concord CA. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
It is your responsibility to protect your child. Sadly, many students out there do not have an opportunity to really appreciate how exciting Science can be. I always draw the English and Math tutor duties, because Warren simply doesn't like either subject. which will build learning even tougher. For parents of students who attend private school (or parents of children who attend public school who choose to not use the special education services afforded by the public schools), there are many options in the private sector from which to select an educational diagnostician. We have an outstanding staff of trainers to meet your learning needs. Tutoring of this nature will be longer in duration; goals may be less specific and more general. Video Source: Youtube. This depends on the school and the area it is in, so its best to ask first. Although we don't provide formal assessments concerning learning issues, our tutors can provide information to parents that may lead them to this type of support. By the end of the tutoring program, she knew about 20 notable events/names in U.S. Considerations include: Student avoids doing work at almost any cost Indications of declining grades are apparent Student needs excessive help with homework Student takes excessive time to complete homework Parents find themselves re-teaching basic skills Student seems frustrated and inclined to make excuses for inadequate performance in school If any or all of these symptoms seem apparent, serious consideration should be given to hiring a tutor. However online tuition centre provides greater flexibility for the students. Science and math are probably the toughest subjects for most students. Keywords Science tuition must be able to provide a detailed knowledge about the subject. Second, failing occasionally is not a bad thing. You're getting me for almost nothing, and you're well aware of what it costs. Attention: Since online tuition centre provides coaching at the comfort of home the students are free from any kind of distractions. If you have a particular place you want to lifeguard, call them first to see if they have any special requirements. Any service that does not clearly exhibit enthusiasm for children and their academic success should be avoided. Avoid hiring this person, or inviting this person to your house. But, the incident caused me to think anew about our center and how we operate. The technical terms alone can be extremely difficult for students to understand and/or pronounce. After tutoring these famous men, he went back to Athens to teach and write. This also removes some of the personalization of tutoring and can skew the line of what is acceptable for a tutor to work on with a student. People are always learning new things about the evolving nature of science, and sometimes having a science tutor is imperative. The past three tutoring sessions for her were therefore a waste of time. Hence, investing extra money for hiring good private tutors is beneficial both for you and your child.

How Companies Can Foster Healthy Employees
Many employers offer wellness programs to contain their health-care costs—and perhaps also improve morale and productivity.
There is evidence that the programs lower health-care spending and reduce absenteeism. But participation rates tend to be low, limiting the benefits to companies and employees. In one survey, a majority of companies reported that 20% or less of employees took advantage of a health coach or weight-management program.

Calacanis, Scoble, Arrington pawns in FriendFeed's smart marketing campaign
Egobloggers Jason Calacanis, Robert Scoble as well as startup PR clearinghouse Michael Arrington all want to know: How amazing is it that after two years of using Twitter, they've each already got nearly half as many "followers" on FriendFeed after just a few months? Asking the question, each offer hypothetical answers involving the social-network aggregator's ease of use — "The comment systems is so fast and easy that it's perfect," says Calacanis — or Twitter's frequent outages — "Twitter downtime plays a big part," writes Arrington. But here's the real answer to the amazing growth these bloggers have seen on FriendFeed:
It's not that amazing. As CenterNetwork's Allen Stern first pointed out, each time a new user signs up for FriendFeed, the site suggests the new user becomes friends with "Popular FriendFeeders." On the list: Bret Taylor, Fred Wilson, Scott Beale, Michael Arrington, Loic Le Meur, Jason Calacanis, Dave Winer and Leo Laporte — despite, as Stern notes, the fact that many of these "popular" users don't actually use FriendFeed very often. Why? We haven't asked anybody at FriendFeed because the answer is obvious: So that the whole bunch of easily ego-fluffed blog blowhards will blog about how amazing FriendFeed is, without bothering to figure out why, exactly, it seems to be growing so much faster for them than everybody else.

Redress Control Numbers
The Redress Control Number (redress number) allows the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Secure Flight program to match travelers with the results of their redress case. Secure Flight is a behind-the-scenes program that streamlines the watch list matching process. Airlines have begun modifying their reservation system as part of the Secure Flight program. This will improve the travel experience for all passengers, including those who have been misidentified in the past.
Quick Facts about Redress Control Numbers
The Redress Control Number is the record identifier for people who apply for redress through the DHS Travel Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP). DHS TRIP is for travelers who have been repeatedly identified for additional screening and who want to file an inquiry to have erroneous information corrected in DHS systems.
Airlines will modify their reservations systems to allow passengers who have a 7-digit redress number to enter it when making their reservation.
Travelers without Redress Control Numbers
- Not everyone has a redress number.
- If you don't have a redress number and an airline or a travel site asks for your redress number, you can leave it blank.
If you do not have a redress number, you will still be able to make reservations and travel as normal. The redress number is an optional field and is not relevant for most travelers.
Travelers with Redress Control Numbers
- You may provide your redress number when you make a reservation or when updating your airline profile.
- If you have lost your redress number, contact DHS TRIP at email@example.com.

A CHURCH was gutted and homes had to be evacuated after a huge fire hit Westcliff on Monday morning.
Firefighters were called to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, in Northview Drive, at about 4.15am yesterday as the flames ripped through the church.
However, there were fears the fire could spread to neighbouring houses after the blaze reached the top floor window of the property next door.
About a dozen people were woken up and evacuated from nearby homes as the fire threatened to spread.
Resident Jason Rayment, 38, said: "I just thought it was a car alarm going off, then the guy who lives opposite knocked on the door about four in the morning, he was banging and shouted through the letterbox saying the place next door was on fire.
"I had a quick look around and there was basically an inferno. I knocked on everyone else's doors."

"I heard all the cracking and smashing and got out quick. It was very hot. The flames were as high as our house, and had come through the fence, right up to a window.
"The guy who lives in there didn't realise what was happening, he thought it was just daylight."
The five residents of the flats left and waited on the street until the smoke had cleared before going back.
Isabel Ehlers, 47, was told to leave her house with her husband Lennart and their three children, aged 11, nine and eight.
She said: "I could see the flashing lights and my husband said 'there's a massive fire next door' and it was really quite hot.
"We weren't in any danger really, but it was quite a scary thing to happen. There was a lot of smoke."
A kind-hearted neighbour opposite put her family up in their house while they waited to be allowed back in.
Sam Barnes, 23, who lives opposite the church, said: "It was a shock to wake up to that.
"The flames were as big as the house next door and you could really smell the smoke, even though it was blowing away from us."
Five people were examined by paramedics, but did not need hospital treatment.
Fire crews spent nearly an hour and a half putting out the blaze, before leaving the scene at about 6.30am.
They then returned at about 9am to dampen down debris after police spotted smoke billowing out of the church.
A police spokesman said yesterday: "Police have been liaising with the Fire Service over the cause of the blaze and believe that it was started deliberately."
Anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour nearby at the time or who has any other information of relevance is asked to call DC Mike Buckingham at Southend Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

REGULAR meals for the homeless may be put on hold as the church seeks to repair itself.
Pastor Trevor Thomas, minister at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, in Northview Drive, was still waiting to be allowed to look inside when the Echo spoke to him on Monday.
Members of the congregation contacted him at his Grays home to tell him about the fire.
Pastor Thomas said it was too early to know the full impications of the blaze, but that in the short term its weekly Sunday meals for the homeless and an educational week for children may be stopped.
The congregation also regularly collects for the poor and the needy in other countries, something Pastor Thomas hopes can continue.
The church has hosted between 25 to 45 homeless people for a meal every Sunday between 11am to 1pm, for the last 21 years.
Pastor Thomas said: "I'm afraid I think that will have to be put on hold until alternative arrangements can be made."
As for the future of the church itself, he said: "I'm still waiting to be able to see inside.
"All I can say is that God is good, he will provide a way for us to go forward, our church is part of the community here, and part of the community of churches in the area.

Obamas mark National Service Day by fixing up school
- The president and first lady Michelle Obama help volunteers repair an old school
- Event was part of the National Service Day
- Service day also honors Martin Luther King Jr.
President Obama prepared for a new term Saturday by helping fix up an old school.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama helped re-touch furniture at an elementary school in northeast Washington, D.C., publicizing the National Day of Service that Obama declared in connection with the weekend of his second inauguration.
The inauguration "is a symbol of how our democracy works, and how we peacefully transfer power," Obama told some 300 other volunteers gathered in the school gym. "But it should also be an affirmation that we're all in this together."
Obama also said that the National Day of Service is in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is Monday.
The first lady called the event "a symbol of the kind of work that we need to be doing for the next four years and beyond."
The official swearing-in for Obama's second term is at noon on Sunday. The president will also take the oath at a public event Monday, when he will deliver his second inaugural address.
"I see friends from all across the country, people who have been such great supporters of ours," Obama told the volunteers at Burrville Elementary School. "But more importantly, everybody here, adults to children, understand the importance of giving back."
Earlier, the president and first lady applied stain to a five-tier wooden bookshelf on the first floor of the school. "How'd you guys get power tools?" Obama said, as machinery was intermittently heard in the background; the president joked that the Secret Service doesn't let him handle power tools.
In his remarks to volunteers, Obama declared, "Michelle says I did a fine job."
The president praised young people for their good work on the school, while "some of the older folks like me" risked injuring knees while bending down. Obama also worked in praise of his wife: "We were able to manage ... and somehow Michelle looked stylish the whole time she was doing it."
In her remarks, Mrs. Obama also encouraged volunteer service by young people: "As Barack says, we're passing the baton onto you all."
"The goal is — as you make your way through life — who are you pulling up behind you? And as long as you're pulling somebody up behind you, you're doing the right thing."
Vice President Biden, wife Jill, and members of their family also participated in a volunteer event, helping pack toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, lint rollers, bandages and other items into 100,000 "care kits" for members of the military. The event took place at the D.C. Armory in the eastern part of the city, near the Anacostia River.
"Hey man, how's it going?" Biden asked one volunteer, as he placed cotton swabs in a box. The vice president then posed for a picture taken with the volunteer's iPhone.
In brief remarks, the vice president began by saying, "I'm Joe Biden; I'm Jill Biden's husband." He said military men and women are "not looking for anything, but (their) knowing that we remember is an important piece of the equation."
Biden, who will also be sworn in for a second term on Sunday, told the volunteers: "I think we're on the cusp of doing some really great things."

Paying for Private School
(page 1 of 3)
Jenny Quill
It's hard to put a price on a quality, independent-school education, and, yet, in recent years, Hawaii's families have had to do just that. But as many parents and educators will tell you, sending your child to private school pays dividends. Here, we explore the wide range of financial options available to help families afford their private-school dreams.
Lately, it's become all too clear that money does not grow on trees, job security is not a sure bet and everything we thought we knew about investing was, for the most part, wrong. So we save for the proverbial rainy day, maybe work an extra job or two, all in an effort to keep a roof over our families' heads and, for many here in Hawaii, to ensure that our children continue to receive top-notch, private-school educations.
"You learn to live on a budget," says Lisa Currie, a single mom whose 11-year-old daughter attends Honolulu Waldorf School. "I know where my money is coming from and where it's going to. I have debt, but I'm not going to sacrifice her education for that. If you feel the best place for your child is a private school, then you owe it to your child to send them there, because they only have one childhood."
Currie, who takes advantage of tuition assistance offered by her daughter's school, felt that Honolulu Waldorf was the best possible fit, and decided to make it happen, even though paying the $10,000-plus annual tuition was daunting at first. "Her piano teacher had suggested Waldorf," says Currie. "And I said, 'I don't have the money for that,' but I had started a new job around that time, and I thought, if I get financial aid, I can squeeze it out. It's been an incredible, wonderful journey … As a single parent, you have to find a place with an ohana that can help support you and your child." As Lisa Currie's story demonstrates, and as many who have been through the process will tell you, where there's a will, there's a way, and as long as parents are proactive and open about locating and accepting tuition assistance, whether it's need-based financial aid, merit-based scholarships or tuition payment plans or loans, there's help to be had.

The Rundown
With 124 licensed independent schools, Hawaii offers an abundance of options for families looking to find the right schools for their children. Each school is different: There are nonsecular and secular options ranging from Catholic to Buddhist; schools that cater to gifted or special-needs children; and schools that focus on specific programs, such as performing arts, technology and environmental stewardship. While a private-school education doesn't come free, it probably won't cost as much as you think. Approximately 65 percent of Hawaii's independent schools charge less than $9,000 per year for tuition, with 43 schools costing less than $6,000 a year. A few schools cost upwards of $15,000 annually, but the substantial range between the highest annual tuition at a standard K-12 school ($19,200 for grades 9-12 at Hawaii Preparatory Academy) and the lowest ($3,400 at Koolau Baptist Academy) means there's a lot of financial wiggle room.
When shopping around, it helps to keep your options open. "[Parents] should apply to a variety of schools," says Kathy Lee, Hawaii Baptist Academy's director of admissions. "And if money is going to be a big factor, look at schools of all different tuition prices so that, in the end, they have several good options." That said, you want to be sure to find the right fit for you and your child, which may mean that the cheaper school isn't necessarily the better school for you.
"[The tuition] is terrifying," says Laura Brown, whose two sons, Adrian and Ray, have attended or are currently enrolled at ASSETS School, a school for gifted or dyslexic children. "You look at your budget and say, 'There's absolutely no way our family can do it.' But the minute you experience it, there's absolutely no way you can't afford it. You can't believe the difference until you get your kid in there."

Well the wife and I did our first Christmas in our house for the family, about 11people showed up. We put in a lot of good tips to use that we learned from countless previous years of going to other family members houses.
-Stuff the turkey and put it in the oven about midnight and let it cook overnight at about 250 degrees and it's done by about 9am Christmas morning. I got up several times throughout the night to baste it and make sure it was cooking ok and all that but it turned out great' by 9am it was falling off the bone. This works well if you are eating around normal lunch time.
-Use crock pot liners to save on cleanup - We made the mashed potatoes and had them all ready to go about an hour before the meal, then we put them in a big crock pot and put it on low and they stayed super hot and didn't get all stiff and and gross.
-We had a ham also that was precooked so we just put that in another crock pot on high for about 2 hours and it was nice and hot when it was time to eat.
-clean up as you go along. Don't save every pot, pan, plate, and utensil till the meal is over. As you get done each thing clean the mess you made so you use less dishes and you save time so the disaster isn't quite as big when the meal is over. By the time we were done the only thing we had left for the dishwasher were the serving stuff, a few pans, and couple misc items. It all fit easily into 1 load in the dishwasher.
-Use gallon ziploc freezer bags to store left overs. Using plastic containers takes up too much room in the fridge and plus you can't always get the air out so they might not keep as long. Freezer bags hold tons of leftovers and take up way less space.
-the biggest thing, you paper plates and cups. It saves so much time and effort in cleanup. You can get those real nice Chinet ones that are sturdy and festive looking and when you're done just toss them away.
We did have one snaffu though the turkey was frozen so I put it in the fridge about 3 days ago so it would thaw out but it was still alittle frozen on the inside so we had to run some warm water through it to make sure we could get the stuffing in ok.
Anywho, just thought I'd share some things from our first experience of cooking a big Holiday dinner for a bunch of people.

How Festive.
Some people love eggnog, others hate it. I am one of those people that love it. As a result of my love of the creamy nog, I knew I wanted to make a cookie that would capture the essence of this holiday drink. If you remember the lemon sandwich cookies I made this past summer, I thought they were a good starting point. I used a white cake mix to make the cookies and then made my own eggnog buttercream. If you share the love of eggnog like I do, then you should try these.
Eggnog Sandwich Cookies
recipe from Baked Perfection
1 (18.25) package white or yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons eggnog
1/4 - 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oils, vanilla extract, nutmeg and eggnog until blended. If mixture is very wet slowly add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour until the dough comes together.
Drop teaspoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown. Move cookies to a cooling rack and using your spatula gently flatten your cookies.
Eggnog Buttercream Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons rum flavoring
2-3 tablespoons eggnog
Cream butter, vanilla extract, and rum flavoring. Slowly beat in powdered sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of eggnog and beat until fluffy, adding more if needed.
Frost the flat side of the cookie. Lightly place the flat side of an unfrosted cookie on top. Press down until a bit of the frosting begins to poke out of the sides. If you want to decorate the edges, place your sprinkles/chips/etc. in a small bowl, and dip the sides of the cookie in it, rolling the cookie around to coat all sides.

Oxcart's latest studio album Beekeeper Constellation is now available!
Oxcart does good old post grunge music really well. But what the band does with a whole lot of musical influences from punk to all manners of prog rock, from psychedelic to metal is keep it classy. Beekeeper Constellation is a brilliant marriage of this Portland, Oregon-based quartets embrace of different rock music styles, and sounds less of a stew of randomness and more of a seriously ambitious and sophisticated record.

Thank you
A couple of months back I went in to check on a small area under my nose. They biopsied it and it came back as basal cell. I pushed the panic button as I was already having enormous anxiety. I went to my hometown and saw a dermatologist and yesterday had surgery. It was intense and required allot of stitches and work to make things look presentable, but I am so very fortunate. I will need to be careful and monitor myself for further skin cancer and some follow up treatment to fix that area. I feel relieved and very blessed!
I want to thank you for all of your kindness and support. I never knew that blogging would mean having a second family, friends and a support system. As many of you know, the past months have brought about anxiety, ptsd issues and general stress. I have gone to therapy, meditated and willed myself to "just get over it" but nothing has worked. I have taken a small step with the help of several of you and it seems to be working. I want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone!
Love, Lynn

Oh Lyn, I'm so glad you caught it soon and that they were able to remove it and reconstruct your nose. My husband has had several of these on his head and ears and arms. He's played golf all his life and until this started didn't wear a hat or protect his skin with the lotions that keep the sun's rays from goind damage. So now his doc sees him every six months to check him all over to make sure nothing is growing. I pray that yours will not be back either. Love and hugs, N 🙂 ❤December 1, 2016

Oh my dear. You look miserable in that photo. And I bet the photo is only half the misery. Very painful area to have such work done on. Glad you got right on it though. Several years ago a colleague had a small spot on her very cute little upturned nose. Her dermatologist kept her in his chair without pain meds or Novocain an cut into her face, checked, then came back and cut some more, repeat, repeat. It went on for nearly 8 hours. She was devastated. But she's still alive and everything healed. She advocates against that doctor though because he was brutal and cruel. I hope yours was more compassionate.December 7, 2016

Watch Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 9pm on WMHT TV.
Colditz Castle, a notorious prisoner of war camp in Nazi Germany, was supposed to be escape-proof. But in World War II, a group of British officers dreamt up an escape plan: in a secret attic workshop, they constructed a two-man glider out of bed sheets and floorboards. The plan was to fly to freedom from the roof of the castle, but the war ended before they could put it to the test. Now a team of aero engineers and carpenters rebuilds the glider in the same attic using the same materials, and they'll use a bathtub full of concrete to catapult the glider off the roof. As the hair-raising launch 90 feet up draws near, the program explores the Colditz legend and exposes the secrets of other ingenious and audacious escapes. Then, after a 70-year wait, the team finally finds out if the legendary glider plan would have succeeded.
