An Awakening Plumeria!
The barren Plumeria twiglets suddenly tauten into conception:
Are Spring's seasonal sanctions responsible for this transformation
Of unfurling leaf-spears agog with pristine promise,
Lanterning this vernal shrub's tenderly splayed progress!
Scrolls of umbrellaed-buds expectantly clutch into a cluster,
Readying to spill luminosity into this pastelled fluster.
Will these Plumeria florets be of hot pink, vivid yellow or pure white:
Frazzling the air with perfume, intoxicating darting gold-hued mites!
—Louisa de Sa

Stephen Sondheim is unquestionably the most influential writer of musicals since he burst on to the scene with the lyrics to "West Side Story" in 1957. His work is always an interesting combination of entertainment and thought-provoking moments. He has brought the musical to a level of sophistication that it had never seen. One of his more profound works, "Into the Woods," with an equally witty book by James Lapine, is now being presented by 3D Productions in Fullerton. It is a production worthy of the musical's genius and certainly should be viewed by any fan of the works of Stephen Sondheim.
"Into the Woods" made its debut on Broadway in 1987. The first act combines the tales of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales. The second act follows the characters further and explores the consequences of their actions. The second act tries to guess what happened to characters like Little Red Riding Hood (Julie Morgentaler), Cinderella (Jeanette Dawson), Jack from "Jack and the Beanstalk" (Jordan Lamoureux), and Rapunzel (Christanna Rowader).
All of these stories are connected by a more original story of a baker (Jeff Skowron) and his wife (Viva Carr). A spell has been placed on the baker and his wife making them unable to bear a child. A witch (Bets Malone) gives them a quest, items to find to produce the cure to the curse, so they may have a child. So off they go into the woods, searching for the items on the witch's list: a cow milky white, a cape as red as blood, hair the color of gold and a slipper made of glass. As these are items possessed by Jack, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella, it necessitates the baker and his wife interfacing with these fairy tale characters as we know them.
It's all very clever. Be warned however that the story follows closely the Brothers Grimm version of the stories. For example, when the glass slipper is too small, Cinderella's stepmother (Leslie Stevens) chops off a portion of the step sisters' foot to make the glass slipper fit. This is not the Disney version of the stories.
It is in Act Two where "Into the Woods" elevates itself above an average musical. Act One ends with the song "Ever After" as most fairy tales do end up that "they lived happily ever after." But the creators of "Into the Woods" are after bigger game. Act Two puts these characters into the realities of life. There is no sugar coating in Act Two as we watch the characters mature when life gives them lemons.
This is a solid production of a difficult piece of theater. Directed with the appropriate flair by T.J. Dawson on an elaborate set by Tom Buderwitz, the evening sails smoothly. All of the actors perform Sondheim's tricky music and lyrics with ease, and this is not an easy task. As the evening proceeds, Leslie Stevens as the baker's wife, and Jeff Skowron as the baker, mature along with the script, richly rewarding the audience with their skills.
After life hands her some challenges in Act Two, Cinderella says to her prince, now her husband, "I have lived in my father's house, and it was a nightmare. I have lived in your house, and it was a dream. I want something in between." That's one of the points of "Into the Woods." The fairy tales we all grew up with taught that life can be perfect, and we can all live happily ever after. The reality as an adult is a little different. "Into the Woods" says not only that life is a series of compromises, but it also says that we must be careful what we tell children, for after all, as so eloquently stated in one of the songs, "Children Will Listen." This is a production of "Into the Woods" that is a feast for the eyes and ears. Go, watch and "listen."

Ms. Rowland grew up in southern California helping her mother, Richelle Rowland, with her garden decor business. By the time she was 16, Ms. Rowland was doing presentations at shows held at the Fullerton Arboretum and the South Coast Plaza. Upon her graduation from California State University, Fullerton, she and her mother started the Cottage Home and Garden store located in the shadows of Mission San Juan Capistrano in the Los Rios Historic district. This will be an introduction to a unique and charming garden project everyone can do.
Since starting the Cottage Home and Garden Store six years ago, Sydney and her mother Richelle Rowland have filled the store with eclectic items for the house and garden. They also teach classes on planting fairy gardens, designing and making "succulent" wreaths; creating Birds Nest planters and growing herbs in tea cups. All of their classes are free—people just need to purchase materials.

I feel empty.
(This is four days late, but whatever.)
I really liked Hans.
His character was well established and I always found myself "relaxed" when the story focused on him. (I didn't have to worry about Liesel's feelings being hurt or anything like that.)
He also had a warm personality and I enjoyed the time that was spent to describe him.
I cried the most because of him.
(Sorry, this is crap. I don't feel like typing a whole page about him. Read the book.)
I forget the direct quote, but it was the one about the clouds.
During Max's illness, Liesel and Hans were walking downtown from various odd jobs, and they noticed a huge cloud ambling across the countryside.
And the observation that was made was: It was a huge, white monster with a grey heart.
I honestly don't know I like that quote so much…
(Forgot to do this yesterday. And I'm just going to call the narrator a "he". If this conflicts with your vision of Death, I'm sorry.)
I felt sorry for him. Throughout the book, he found himself unable to relate to the current situations that he was faced with.
How did I feel about him? As a person or whatever he was?
I thought he was nice and told things like they were. He didn't let his emotions/opinions conflict with how he dealt with things. (Not that he was a very "emotionally expressive" character.)
Now, this is a tad unrelated but, this is how I pictured him: a young "human" boy, about Liesel's age, with dark hair and wise eyes.
…… Anyway.
No, I have not. But I would like to.
(Let's all pretend I started this challenge yesterday and this is the post for today.)
YES! Anyone with eyes or ears or both who can understand a language should read this! (Or have it read to them.)
This is one of the most beautifully written books I had ever read. Not only that, but the story was very creative. Plus, when I carried it around with me, people said "The Book Thief? *insert snobby scoff here* What's that about? *insert mean laughter*." It's hard to explain the story. This book was and is absolutely amazing.
Earlier this year my mother found a lovely list of "100 Classics to read before you die" and this led me to hours of scouring the internet for more book lists. (I love books, but I find it hard to sit down with one and just read.) Anyways, as summer progressed, I found a wonderful book list that included "modern literature". I found this list on Teenreads.com, and began my journey into the wonderful world of too-many-books-to-read-that-I-will-probably-forget-about-so-why-am-I-even-wasting-my-time.
Anyway, this list included over 300 titles and one of the books on this list was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
About a month ago, I had finished two books that were on this list, and I was hungry for a new book to read.
Low and behold, I found The Book Thief sitting on the shelf in the school library and I picked it up and checked it out.

There is no spoon. It is your mind that bends. :)
What you can do is to test for firewall presence. This is a very simple
test that will give you the ability to understand what you facing.
One nice added value for the auditor will be the ability to identify the
operating system the FW software will be installed on, given the fact
the firewall TCP/IP stack generates these lovely RSTs. Another thing
that the auditor might gain is the understanding that he is dealing with
several systems and not only with the one he is querying - looking at
the traces will result in identifying at least two systems which
communicate with his machine although he is targeting one.
Yes. This is an issue all operators or auditors need to
consider: On the one hand, we wish to limit reconnaissance
activity. Let us not leak information like so many U.S.
Congressmen. On the other hand, the security of a firewall
ought not be dependent on the obscurity of its TCP/IP stack.
I find no simple answer fits every scenario.
I do urge, however, if one is attempting to "stealthen" a
firewall, one will have to remember that TTL decrementation
still takes place. The FreeBSD kernel IPFW implementation
*used*[0] to have the option to not subtract from TTL. If one
doesn't mind playing havoc with traceroute, this, too, may be
an option.

From John Glennon of The Tennessean:
#Titans have released RB Jamie Harper.
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) May 8, 2013
#Titans have also signed former Jags RB Jalen Parmele, who visited team last week. #tntitans
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) May 8, 2013
Last week, I talked about how Jamie Harper needed a strong training camp if he wanted to assure himself of a spot on the 53-man roster for this upcoming season. It doesn't appear like the Titans will give him that opportunity. One week after visiting with Jalen Parmele, the Titans have decided to replace Harper with the 27-year-old free-agent running back who spent the 2012-13 NFL season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fans may remember Parmele for his eight-carry, 45-yard performance in a Nov. 25 game against the Titans. Following that game, Parmele was placed on injured reserve because of a groin injury that he suffered during that contest. He finished that season with 40 carries for 143 yards. For his career, Parmele has 47 carries for 187 yards.
Exiting Nashville is Harper. In two seasons, the fourth-round pick from the 2011 NFL Draft had 74 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries. The Titans were hoping that Harper would develop into an effective complementary back to Chris Johnson, similar to LenDale White. After two seasons, management decided that Harper wasn't progressing as they had hoped.
Expect Parmele and undrafted free agent Stefphon Jefferson to compete for the No. 3 spot. With three running backs who are at least 27 years old, Jefferson is almost a lock for the practice squad. If Jefferson beats out Parmele, he could realistically win the No. 3 job. If any significant injuries happen with Shonn Greene or Johnson, Jefferson could find himself in a key role.
You can find Parmele on Twitter @JayParmele

Denmac Ford and Bremer Ford to closeDOWNLOAD
27 May 2011: The Receivers and Managers of Denmac Ford Pty Ltd and Bremer Ford Pty Ltd regret to announce the immediate closure of both businesses.
Deloitte partners Richard Hughes and John Greig were appointed as joint and several Receivers and Managers of both businesses on 11 May 2011.
Mr Hughes confirmed that a thorough investigation of both businesses financial performance had been carried out to determine if the operation could continue while a buyer was sought.
Mr Hughes said: "Unfortunately, there was not sufficient cash flow to sustain the business, even in the short term. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't find a way to keep the business trading while we carried out a sale process, which could have taken some time to complete."
"The harsh reality is that given the ongoing financial losses incurred we would have struggled to justify the ongoing trading for the benefit of creditors and we were left with no alternative but to close the doors and dismiss most of the 120 members of staff."
"Whilst we are preparing to sell business assets, for a short period, the business assets are still available for sale in one line, however, interested parties will need to conclude negotiations rapidly if this is to be a possibility. However, the business will not be sold as a going concern."
Denmac Ford had been an established Ford dealer in Brisbane for over 30 years, servicing Brisbane's south western suburbs with sales and service locations at Darra and a used car sales location at Moorooka.
Operating over three sites with its head office, sales, service and parts located at 2580 Ipswich Road, Darra. The other two showrooms are in Indooroopilly (34 Coonan Street) and Moorooka (1029 Ipswich Road). Bremer Ford Pty Ltd offers sales, service and parts from its 36 Brisbane Road, Ebbw Vale location.
The Receivers and Managers are working to minimise the impact of the closures on employees and other stakeholders, including investigating options to ensure employee entitlements are payable in full and as soon as practicable.
Ford Motor Company has confirmed that customers that purchased new Ford vehicles from the business, both before and after our appointment will remain covered by the Ford warranty.

- AhhhhmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/22/2014From our first nite to our last. Everything was perfection. Simple favors yet sofisticated preparation. Our server was knowledgeable yet not pretentious. Two thumbs up for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go here. Now.ladiesnightDined on 10/20/2014The food was absolutely AMAZING. The fall sampler was to die for. And the banana roll dessert....dear god. I could die happy with that plate. The waiters were knowledgeable about the food and drink pairings. So personable and professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindPreciousDined on 10/19/2014It was a last minute Sunday dinner date and we needed a place to dine. Not many places stay open after 10pm on a Sunday and neither did this place. But we strolled in past 930p and they were very welcoming. The food and service was amazing. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too loud for the priceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014The steak was worth the money. The atmosphere was not. It was incredibly too loud and we were served by a bartender. Our bill for 2 people was $130.00. I could spend that money for a much better atmosphere and service quality and an equivalent steak somewhere else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerFromSCDined on 10/17/2014My wife and I ate here for our four year anniversary and everything was great. She loved the decor and our service was exceptional. Her only regret was that we haven't dined here earlier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/16/2014The wine pairings in the chef tasting menu were perfectly done and when I left, even though I was full, I still wanted more!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Experience of your lifeHj123Dined on 10/15/2014I had the most amazing time at 5Church. The food was truly superb. The staff are delightful and the presentation is outstanding!vI highly recommend this restaurant!Special Features:
- RDT215Dined on 10/12/2014Good food, reasonable brunch prices that includes unlimited drinks. Staff very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!WinegirlDined on 10/11/2014We had family in from Georgia and were celebrating a belated birthday. Not only did we get to show off our beautiful city but found a great restaurant in 5Church! Food was wonderful! We had the seared scallops, and brazed shortribs, they did not disappoint, and recommend them both. Great atmosphere, bar scene downstairs was vibrant, up stairs was more calm with dimmed lighting, it was perfect. The hostess pointed out the handwritten pages of a book a local artist had written on the entire ceiling of the upper level, and also a counterfeit $5.00 bill a tattoo artist had painted on the back wall. The atmosphere and food were fantastic, we'll definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Would definitely dine there again!FoodfinderDined on 10/11/2014Steaks and chops were cooked to perfection! Spring rolls were great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- aaaaVIPDined on 10/11/2014This was my fourth visit and things have changed. Waiter was almost too attentive until I told him the monk fish which had highly recommended was water logged and bland and uneaten. He said he would tell the kitchen.rSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finally! 5 ChurchPatMacEatsDined on 10/11/2014I've been wanting to go to this restaurant since it opened, but for some reason I never made it until this past weekend. The "first course" items looked so delicious that I considered just going with a few smaller plates. But the server sold the NC Black Grouper so well, I had to try it. The fish was delicious. It had a nice crusty top and the meat was white and moist. The red beans under the fish were okay, but the rice was fabulous. My friend had the salmon that he thought was a little bland, but I tasted the sauce and liked it very much. Another friend had the monkfish and he said it had a very nice bacon-y flavor. (I don't like bacon.) Dessert was the pistachio cookie with lemon cream thing. Wonderful! It was light and refreshing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for lunch and drinksMosesDined on 10/10/2014The best lunch spot in my view. Used to have a ten dollar set that included a drink but now it's gone. Nonetheless a grest place. And it's also a great place to get drinks at night. Chic downtown 20s-30s come for socializing at thus great looking place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Acceptably MediocrewigstheoneVIPDined on 10/5/2014In fairness, dined after a Panther's game, so 5church was jammed. That said, the space is very neat (albeit dark), with a lot of varied seating options. Service was a tad overwhelmed, but generally did a good job of handling the crush. The food, however, was much weaker, and it seemed far too much was pre-prepped or had spent time waiting before being served. The crispy pork belly was tasty but served room temperature, the asparagus was drowned in Bernaise, the sauteed corn and bacon lardons was overwhelmed by the overly large lardons, the restaurant had run out of salmon, and the Kobe Flank Steak was okay, but the mashed potatoes had clearly been sitting on the plate long before the steak. Very expensive for what it was.Special Features:
- LovelyRun4food86Dined on 10/5/2014Great atmosphere charming delicious great place for brunch and stellar serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice findOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/5/2014We went there with friends before a theater matinee. The food and service were outstanding and we could not have been more pleased. The food cost also was moderate and well worth the quality of food. We'd love to go back there for dinner some time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful DinnerWineNdineDined on 10/4/2014Amber was our waitress and did an outstanding job. Only one hiccup was a beer that my husband ordered to be received with dinner was forgotten but Chad stopped by our table to see how we were doing a little after the main course arrived and when my husband mentioned he had been waiting a while for it Chad went and got one right away (and we were not charged for it). Amber answered all of our questions about the menu thoroughly and was very sweet. All staff we talked to were courteous, helpful and had a good attitude. The food was delicious as well. I have to mention that it is extremely loud in the whole restaurant. If you're looking for somewhere quiet to eat/drink, this is not the establishment for you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale fun and great foodcookinfoolDined on 10/4/2014Had a great dinner with a girlfriend. Food was great. Had Corn Soup with a truffle oil drizzle. Yum. Monkfish was outstanding and desserts are to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Dining ExperienceAlinSteveDined on 10/4/2014From the hostess, server, floor manager and chef's everything was impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too much servicewahine1Dined on 10/3/2014this is an unusual comment to make but I would have loved less intrusive service. Ambience is 'cool' and fun and the menu is unusual…..food was very good. The big miss was our server was way too intrusive that we could hardly have a conversation with our friends. Felt like the clock was ticking the minute we sat down and that they wanted to turn the table in 45 minutes. I doubt we ever had 5 minutes between visits to our table by our waitress. I wanted to shout 'go away' we want to visit with our friends.!!!! Food was good but I wouldn't hurry back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MikeDined on 10/3/2014Sat in the quieter section of the restaurant but that means tables for two side by side. Not very cozy. Feels like your at dinner with six. Food and service was great.Special Features:
- Fantasticellisat2Dined on 10/2/2014Best meal we've had in a while. Would recommend 100%. Try the tasting menus if they offer one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- THE BEST IN CHARLOTTEVJohnsonDined on 10/2/2014I have never in my life been to such a great restaurant! My husband and I started out with drinks at the bar then decided to move to a table for dinner and then went right back to the bar again! we just couldn't leave! The entire book of the Art of War is on the ceiling and the hostess gave us a tour of the restaurant...everything was simply phenomenal! Will surely be back!Special Features:
- Incredible ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/2/2014The staff including Alyssa and Alexa both made sure we were taken care of the moment we walked into the restaurant. The special treatments of the high quality salmon, and steak with the flavorful crusts and sauces were delicious. No wonder the restaurant is nationally recognized.Special Features:
- Very disappointingBikeLadyVIPDined on 9/30/2014Worst service I've had at an Open Table restaurant. Inside so noisy as to preclude conversation. Food - nothing special.
- A DisappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/27/2014An online review of the wine list should have been a clue.... no prices! We had 2 bottles of Cherry Pie Pinot Noir @ $115.00 ea. This was a special occasion__ a birthday. Wine Spectator rates this wine at 90 pts. and can be purchased at retail for $25.00. I can accept doubling or tripling the price, but almost 5x? We were seated at Table #35 promptly at 7:00pm, our reservation being made a month prior. Our server was quite immature. The appetizers, salads and deserts were OK; the entrees were excellent ( We had scallops, bistro steak and short ribs.) The coup de grace is that we were presented our check before the desert and coffee were served.... about 8:15pm. I don't know how many times they turned Table # 35 that night.
- Stache && CookStacheVIPDined on 9/27/2014Interesting decor. Service good but too many people on "the team" making it difficult to determine server roles. ALL the food was over salted which seems to be the norm today. Wine list by the glass undistinguished and limited. Management nice but should be more proactive.Special Features:
- QueenCityDined on 9/27/2014Had an excellent evening and amazing service by Michelle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm becoming a regularFoodieDined on 9/26/2014Love this place. The scallops are amazing. My wife had the filet cooked to perfection . Wine list is excellent. This will definitely become a regular for me.
- Excellent Experience!FoodieDined on 9/24/2014Went to 5Church for a special night out and the food was fantastic. An added bonus was the great server who was knowledgeable and friendly but not intrusive. I will definitely return to 5Church.Special Features:
- A sure-bet in UptownKathyPeterVIPDined on 9/23/2014We really like 5Church for food, service, atmosphere. However, it is loud so consider yourself warned if you want a quiet, romantic evening.Special Features:
- Top QualityFoodieDined on 9/21/2014We visited 5Church for the second time this weekend and the food was just as good this time. If you are looking for top quality food and ingredients that can normally only be found in large cities, this restaurant is the right place. The flavors truly come out in every dish and everything is cooked to perfection. Portions are generous. So happy to have found a restaurant of this quality only one town over! We will be back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014We were disappointed. Granted it was Saturday night, but there was an hour wait between our appetizer and entrée. The manager apologized, but with the loudness of the restaurant and being hungry, it wasn't a great experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014The corn chowder was excellent, as was the duck special. The majority of the rest was good, but nothing special, and for the price point I'd expect more. The service was friendly but lacked knowledge about the menu. The interior is really interesting. Hopefully they will put a little more work into the menu and service and I think it could be a great restaurant. Good wine list and cocktails.Special Features:
- A lot of hype40birthdaypartyDined on 9/20/2014Food was ok but nothing to write home about. Not one dish stood out. Maybe my expectations were too high. Our table was a nightmare. Wobbled and the top was lose. We had to use a napkin to level the top so our drinks wouldn't slide off. We informed our server and she said "yeah that table is bad". When we asked about the specials.....she had no clue. Something with duck she said. Never saw a manager all night. We may give them another try because we have heard great things. Maybe it was just an off night. Complimentary valet parking was nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!theFoodiediva6Dined on 9/17/2014The food was terrific and the ambiance was very fun and upscale. Was the place to be on a Wed night with my mentor group and other professionals in the area. In addition the drinks were good and so was dessert. I completely recommend the smores trifle!!!!! Was amazing!!! The is also some street parking but also valet so easier to get to than you might think.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Lunch / Too Loud for BizOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Great Lunch but the ambiance was too loud for an effective biz meeting
- Good FoodMPYLDined on 9/16/2014The food is always good. However my friend requested the catfish which she loved, but she initially requested to have the jalopena salsa on the side. We the plate arrived the salsa was on top of the catfish, but the managers stepped in and had the dish repaired and everything came out the correct the next time expected for the fish was not served on top of the black eye peas as it prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Attentative or Annoying?AFamilyofFoodiesVIPDined on 9/16/2014I enjoy learning about a restaurant's story from servers. Great waiters has a sixth sense when it comes to reading customers. They know when to stop by the table and how to do it without becoming a distraction. My dinner at 5Church on 9/16 was disrupted far too many times by a server who excessively wanted to communicate and check in on us. I specifically wrote in my Open Table reservation that this was a business meal. I lost count how many times our server came to our table, but he wasn't respectful to our serious conversation. Hope this is a learning experience for the server and manager.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2014The food was fantastic but the service was VERY slow. My coctail took about 10 minutes while the others had their drinks. Entrees and deserts also took a long time to come out.Special Features:

Planning Board OKs Ringling Walmart
Date: November 15, 2012
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
The Sarasota Planning Board Wednesday approved a Walmart Supercenter on Ringling Boulevard.
The site plan for the 97,000-square-foot project was approved 3-2.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to demolish the existing plaza and build the store in its place. The Ringling Shopping Center lost its anchor tenant in October 2011 when Publix Super Markets Inc. closed as the plaza's anchor tenant to make way for its new Publix at 2031 Bay Street.
The Walmart store will include general merchandise, a pharmacy, deli, produce and groceries.
While there has been mixed opinions on the supercenter, during the last few weeks, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. gained support from some neighborhood leaders in surrounding neighborhoods after the corporation agreed to move the 97,000-square-foot store 50 feet closer to Ringling Avenue, thus moving the building away from the south property line, where several homes would abut the new store. Additional trees and greenspace were also added to the plans for the project's southern edge.

This activity is one of the topics in our English class we encountered. Identifying fact and opinion. Cheetah is the animal I researched about. I find cheetahs interesting. For me, they are one of a kind. It's physical characteristics are unique, really! So this is how it goes.
Facts about Cheetahs. Cheetah it's name is derived from a Hindu word "Chita" which means 'the spotted one'. Different spot patterns in the Cheetah's coat makes each one unique. The color of their fur helps them to blend into tall grasses, making them difficult to locate in the wild.
Cheetahs are the only big cat that cannot roar. Instead it gently purrs and even makes sounds similar to chirping to communicate with others. Cheetahs are the world fastest land animal. They can reach a top speed of around 113 km per hour. In the wild, Cheetahs may only need to drink once every three to four days because they get fluid from their food.
A Cheetah has an amazing eyesight during the day and can spot prey from 5 km away. Cheetahs knock their prey to the ground and kill with a suffocating bite to the neck. They hunt for food in the open and attack quickly with speed, instead of stalking their prey like lions and tigers.
Powerful back legs and large muscles gives the Cheetah an amazing running power. Cheetahs long tail is used for balance and to help steering when making fast turns. Their flexible spine allows legs to reach far long strides.
The Cheetahs long association with humans dates as far back 3000 BC to the Sumerians. Cheetahs were known to be hunting pets of Mongol rulers.
We can also say that Cheetahs can be part of the earliest civilizations in the world. They are also part of the big cat family but with the most interesting and the best clowder compared to the others.

The dining year in review
If last year in Baton Rouge dining was the year of the pizza, this was the year of the self-serve yogurt joint. National chains like Red Mango, Yogurtland, Tutti Frutti and Swirll moved into the Capital City with a vengeance, bringing frozen treats in dozens of exotic flavors. It was also the year that burgers got gourmet, with the opening of Fat Cow and Burgersmith. Baton Rouge also lost old favorites this year, as Southdowns Greek spot Cafe Mediterranean and Mid City restaurant Brandt's Maisonette both closing. Smith Creamery was almost lost in a tragic fire in June, until Kleinpeter Farms Dairy stepped in to help them pick up the pieces. Perks changed hands and became Garden District Coffee, the long-anticipated Radio Bar opened its doors, and Baton Rouge's food truck fleet expanded with the additions of Fresh, Ignatius Reilly and Geaux-Yo, a frozen yogurt truck. What new trends are in store for 2012? Check out Maggie Heyn Richardson's Spatula Diaries blog in this week's 225 Dine newsletter here to find out.
