Shawnee Mission School District
The Shawnee Mission School District (Kansas Unified School District 512) is one of the major school districts in the Kansas City metropolitan area. It is in northeast Johnson County, Kansas, and enrolled about 27,000 students in the 2009-2010 school year. As of 2011, the district comprises five high schools, five middle schools, 38 elementary schools, and six instructional centers. Its headquarters are in Overland Park.[1][2][3]
In 1969, these school districts unified to become the Shawnee Mission School District: Greenwood District 39, Shawnee District 22, Lenexa District 500, Districts 10 and 90, Valley View District 49, Overland Park District 10, Linwood District 1, Roeland District 92, Merriam District 99, Antioch District 61, Westwood View District 93, Prairie District 44, and Corinth District 82.
South Park Elementary school, in Merriam, Kansas, played a role in school desegregation before the unification of the Shawnee Mission School District. South Park opened in 1948 for white students, leaving African-American students in the inadequate Walker Elementary using an outdated curriculum. Corinthian Nutter, an African-American teacher, resigned in protest and taught the students from her home. In 1949, the Webb vs. School District 90 case paved the way for Brown v. Topeka Board of Education five years later.
Skyline Elementary School was presumed to have been named for the fact that one could see the Kansas City, Mo., skyline from the area around the school.
McAuliffe Elementary School in Lenexa, Kansas, was one of the first schools in the nation named in honor of Christa McAuliffe.
The district converted from 7-8-9 junior high model to the 7-8 middle school model in 1986.
In 2013, Jim Hinson replaced retiring superintendent Gene Johnson (who was superintendent since 2008).[4]
Shawnee Mission North High School[edit]
Shawnee Mission Rural High School opened September 12, 1922, having cost $950,000 to build. It had 12 faculty members and a senior class of 20. The school colors are Red, Black and White and the school mascot is the Indian. The average annual enrollment is approximately 2,000 students.
There had been a vote on September 21, 1921, on a "proposal to organize a rural high school district." The school was named Shawnee Mission Rural until 1945, when senior Robert F. Bennett was sent to Topeka to petition the legislature for a name change to more accurately reflect the school's suburban status. Later elected Governor of Kansas, Bennett was named North's first Distinguished Alumnus by the class of 1975. It was thus named Shawnee Mission High School until 1958, when Shawnee Mission East High School opened and Shawnee Mission High School was renamed Shawnee Mission North High School. The student body of Shawnee Mission High School had petitioned the school board to name the new school anything other than Shawnee Mission East High School in an attempt to avoid a renaming of their school.

Shawnee Mission South High School[edit]
Shawnee Mission South's school colors are green and gold and its mascot is the Raider. The school's mascot was chosen by the first graduating class of 1967. The Raider was chosen as a mascot because of the popular band Paul Revere and the Raiders. Most of the students from South come from the middle school Indian Woods (which was then two separate Junior High Schools - Nallwood and Indian Creek). The school's population in 2006 was 1,805 students, down from a peak around 2,400 in 1975. South has a newspaper called the Patriot and a yearbook called Heritage.

Shawnee Mission West High School[edit]
Shawnee Mission West's mascot is the Viking and the official school colors are black and gold. West opened its doors in 1962; since then, it has been remodeled several times. Additions have also been made to the school, the most famous of which is "the bridge," an actual bridge between halves of the school that later had classrooms added beneath it. As of 2006, the school had 2,042 students.[citation needed] It is in Overland Park at 85th Street and Antioch Road.
The former principal, Karl Krawitz, was the NEA III District Educator of the Year for 2004-2005.
West is home to both an award-winning school newspaper, the Epic, and a yearbook, SAGA. The Epic was ranked the fifth best newsmagazine in the country by the Scholastic Press Association in 2010. West has twice (1986 and 2007) placed second at the National Forensic League tournament for policy debate.
West's student body population is 10 percent African American, which is the highest African American population of any Shawnee Mission high school.[citation needed] West is the most ethnically diverse high school in the district.[citation needed] West draws its student population from Overland Park, Lenexa, and small parts of Shawnee.

Excerpts for
Deeper Love Inside : The Porsche Santiaga Story
Deeper Love Inside
Chapter 1
Not every bitch is a queen. Most chicks are just regular. Most of them know it and accept it, as long as nobody points it out. A queen is authentic, not because she says so, just because she is. A queen doesn't have to say nothing. Everybody can see it, and feel it, too.
A bunch of bootleg girls been try'na come up. That's what they supposed to try and do. But their borrowed, stolen style sucks cause it's borrowed and stolen. A queen knows who she is, inside and out. She wouldn't imitate anybody else. In fact, she creates original styles, waits for the bootleg bitches to catch on and copy, then switches, making their heads spin, eyes roll, and their short money pile disappear.
I'ma tell you what I hate first. Then Im'ma tell you what I love. Every word that I say is straight, cause I don't have no time to play with you. The majority of my time is spent stacking my status and plotting to get back my stuff.
I hate conceited girls. They're played out. You may think that I'm one of them, but there's a difference between conceit and quality, or should I say conceit and truth. Matter of fact, some of the ugliest females I know are conceited. We living at a point where this shit is all mixed up on purpose. The ugly ones pretend they look good, when everything they got is cheap and fake, including their personalities. The pretty ones play themselves down, cause jealousy is more realer than the air we suck in and blow back out. I, Porsche L. Santiaga, am a real, real pretty bitch. I try my best to stay in my lane and mind my own business, to keep all the envious ones from talking shit, mobbing up and jumping me.
It isn't easy being the sister of a queen. Naturally, I look up to her. But still, I gotta be me. Imitation gets no respect. I would never live my life trying to look like or be someone else. Regarding my sister, Winter Santiaga, every day for eight years I had my big brown eyes trained on her. She's a queen, not because she's beautiful, which is automatic, not because she's a badass, with endless styles and personality, not because she's my older sister, my mother's best friend, and my father's most loved jewel. None of those are the reasons.
Ricky Santiaga has four daughters. His firstborn, Winter, seemed to have occupied his whole heart. My handsome father was not to blame. Everyone loved her. When she was in a crowded room, everyone was looking her way or trying to stand or sit right beside her. Even in our home she soaked up all the love, as though she were the only child. But she wasn't the only child.
Me, I'm the "middle daughter." Maybe you know a little something about how that goes. Everyone's eyes were either on the oldest daughter, because her young figure was ripe and ready, her eyes so mischievous, and her face so feminine and perfect that they were all scared she might get pregnant. Or, their eyes would be on the youngest, because they are the babies and they might get hurt.
The middle girl is too young to be fucking and too old to be falling down. So everyone forgets where she is and what she's doing. I got mixed feelings about being invisible. There are benefits. I can't lie. But sometimes, quietly, I was yearning for Poppa and Momma to pay more attention to me simply because their love for me was as true and as strong as my love for each of them. I didn't want to have to beg them for love. I didn't like the idea of having to be annoying to get attention or having to make a dramatic or phony scene. I hate pretense.
Winter was a queen in my younger eyes because she didn't have to ask for love, but she was always receiving it. When she did receive it, no one cared if she returned it. They loved her whether she loved them or not. She didn't seek attention. She commanded it. Winter had the best of everything without working or obeying. Her friends, who were coming and calling constantly, surrounded my sister. Even my young friends wanted to grow up to be Winter. My old aunties wish they could be young again only to try to look and live like Winter.
More than that, in my younger eyes, Winter was above pain and punishment and mostly no one else in the world can claim that. In the chaos of any crisis she walked in looking good, stylish, clean, and untouched. She'd shift her pretty eyes right and then to the left and come up with the swiftest plan, which only she knew the details of.
I was home when they arrested my father. Winter wasn't. I was left at home when they arrested my mother. Winter wasn't. I was home when the kidnappers, "social services," snatched up me, Lexy, and Mercedes. Winter wasn't. We three sisters were separated and trapped in the system. Winter wasn't.
In fact, Winter and Momma came to check me one time at a "state-supervised visit," where I was being held and watched over by the kidnappers. When they walked in, my beautiful momma's head was shaved bald. Shocked for some seconds, I still wanted to hug her and have her hug me back tight enough to signal to me silently that she knew that this shit was all wrong. That she would take me back home with her.
Momma's eyes were filled with rage and sorrow. Winter looked rich. She was sparkling and free, like she had a thousand little light-bulbs outlining her entire body. Her caramel-colored skin was glowing. Her hair was fresh, soft, long, and second only to her pretty face. She looked unbreakable, untouched, and unaffected. Then it was confirmed in my eyes on that exact day, that Winter was straight royalty, above everyone else who suffered on a regular, including now my momma and me. That so-called visit was the first time I saw my mother and sister after being tooken, and the last time I saw both of them together ever again.
I miss Momma so much I ache, like when you have vomited to the end and there's nothing else to throw up. Only a thick yellow fluid comes out, that one nurse said is called bile. Have you ever been in the emergency room strapped to a bed, screaming out "Momma" 156 times, "Poppa" seventy-seven times, and "I want to go home" thirty-three times?
As for Poppa, six one, light-skinned, strong, and suave with not even a teaspoon of bitch in him, no man on earth is better than him. Momma is like a cup of hot chocolate on a freezing morning. Poppa
is like a cup of black tea with a whole lot of heavy cream mixed in. Dark and light, they complemented one another.
Winter was the best parts of both of them, all in one. I love her, and fuck anybody else who doesn't, no matter his or her reason.
Listen when I tell you, I am 100 percent loyalty. If you can count, you'd know that there's nothing left over from that.
Unique, I know I'm different from her, but we sisters. We're full blood related. So I'm royal. I inherited these looks. Like Winter and Momma, my beauty is undeniable, captivating, and offensive to many. No, I'm not light-skinned. Stop that silly shit, as if there is only one shade to be deeply admired. I'm honey-brown like an expensive Godiva that can only be purchased in a specialty shop. My brown-gold eyes are outlined with a thin black line that circles around the pupil, like an exotic bird. When people first notice them, they pause and look again.
Every day I fight. Not because of anything I did, just because of who I am naturally. I fight young angry bitches cause they wish they had these same eyes and can't get comfortable until they poke mines out. My skin is flawless like satin, or an unaffordable diamond. I'm a dancer, not a stuck-up ballerina or a fucking stripper. Back on our Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, block I had an all-girls dance crew. We used to rock. We even won first place at our block party over some girls that was older than us. People were amazed at how our young bodies could bend and move, flow, bounce, and shake like we knew shit we couldn't possibly have known, and experienced shit that none of us had experienced yet. We tore it up, moving to a Rob Base throwback titled "It Takes Two." That night, Momma placed her hands on my hips and said I would grow up to be her "moneymaker." I liked the feeling that I was doing something that made Momma look my way for more than a few moments, and believe in me.
My hair is black. It grew from my own scalp and lays on my back. Momma says it's long because I'm loved. She says, "Other bitches don't know or don't want to keep their daughter's hair clean, oiled, combed, conditioned, and clipped." Back then Momma would say, "If you see a bald bitch she's unloved. Or, she cut her hair off because she don't want to be loved. Or, she cut it off because she ran up on some rotten love."
Me, I know mine is real nice, but I don't worship my hair. I keep it neat and never throw it in nobody's face. Apparently that ain't enough. In a two-year stretch, I had seventeen fights. Nine of them were brawls over hair, with half-bald bitches with homemade weapons. I fought a conceited ugly girl named Cha-Cha four out of the nine hair fights. In arts 'n crafts class, I grabbed the one pair of scissors shared by twenty girls and chained to the desktop, and cut off my hair and gave it to her, so she could stop fucking sweating me. She wore my hair braided into single box braids on her head the next day.
I didn't say anything to her. I had gotten comfortable with my short cut overnight. Then she got mad cause I wasn't mad. So she fought me again. The authorities, that's what we call them, they locked me up in isolation for fighting. Every time they act like they don't know what the fight is all about. Every time they act like we fifty/fifty involved in the fight when they know damn well that chick hates herself and is gonna fight till somebody kills her and puts her out of misery.
Even with my wrists locked and my ankles chained, headed to isolation, I don't react. They release me into that little space butt-naked. Then I dance. Repetition makes my legs beautiful, strong, and tight. I don't eat, so I don't have no body fat. I taught myself to accept hunger, cause people try to use it against you when they think they got something you really need, even if it's only a sandwich. I dance until I'm drenched. The music plays in my head, sounding crisp like it did back in Brooklyn. I stop when I collapse. Then, I wake up in another wing with a tube in my arm and a bad-breath nurse faking concern and whispering something like, "You could've died last night." I close my eyes and wish I had enough fluids in my mouth to spit on her, just to clear my throat.
When they would bring me back into the population mix with the rest of the bitches, 522 of them to be exact, I'd see most of the girls from my section gasp like they seen a ghost. I know certain ones of them won't be happy until they slit my perfect skin open, or at least put a permanent stamp on it. That's why I plot.
In one of the monthly head sessions they make us have, one of my enemies told the therapist that she fights me because I think I'm better. I told her she fights me because she thinks I'm better. These
regular bitches don't get it. It's not my hair or eyes or legs or none of that bullshit that makes me who I am, plain and simple. It's that I'm Porsche L. Santiaga, born rich. My daddy was rich. My momma was rich. My sisters were rich. I'm not gonna act like a regular bitch when I was born royal. They never had nothing, so they don't know no better. They got nothing to miss. I had a queen-sized bed when I was seven years old. Even before then, back in Brooklyn at my sister's sixteenth birthday celebration at Moe's, in the dead of the winter season, my whole family was styling. I rocked a three-quarter mink, and mink earmuffs, and a mink muffler instead of gloves.
I have a mother who taught me the difference between everything cheap and high quality. I had three sisters, all dimes living swolled in a beautiful Long Island palace. The last thing my poppa promised me was a pony so I could trot around our property. It's the police who are the criminals, kidnappers, and thieves. The authorities know the deal, they all in it together.
That's why I jammed the sharpened number two pencil in my caseworker's neck as she was driving me in her state-owned vehicle. She tried to say something slick about my family, about Winter in particular. I don't play that shit. "Family sticks together."
If a bitch believed she could say something rude about a Santiaga out loud and in my face, I obviously wasn't on my J.O.B.
Now I don't know if I was trying to kill her. I just wanted the bitch to pay attention to what I had been telling her for many months. I am Porsche L. Santiaga, sister to Winter Santiaga, the twins, Lexus and Mercedes Santiaga. Brooklyn-born, we chill now in a Long Island mansion. Stop driving me around and dropping me off to the broke, broken, perverted, ugly-ass, foster-care providers and introducing me to strangers who wanna pretend to be my parents. I don't pretend at nothing. I don't like fake shit. Take me home. I have a house and a family. I told her clearly in a respectful tone. I recited to her my exact Long Island address.
"You shouldn't look up to a girl like Winter, even though she is your real sister," the bitch said one autumn morning when I was seated and trapped in the back seat of her state vehicle, where I had been seated and trapped many times. She must of felt good and big about herself with her files filled up with dirty talk about my real life,
and her folded newspaper that must have reported some lies that she decided to believe. So, she started saying something foul.
"Winter," my caseworker said, referring to my well-loved sister . . . .
My caseworker is paralyzed now. So she got a lot of time to sit still and think about all the lies she been telling little kids, about taking them to live in a better place, in better circumstances. She knew what the fuck was up. She'd say and do anything, no matter how evil it was as long as they paid her to do it. She'd drop me off anywhere, including hell, and leave me with anyone including the motherfucking devil, even if she knew for sure I was in serious danger. As long as that was the address printed on her paper, she'd leave me without looking back. So they got me locked up in juvy. It's better than playing house. Everything is clear in here, the way I prefer things to be. No one is pretending to love me, or the rest of us. We damn sure ain't pretending to love them or each other either. In here, there's only friends and enemies, no in-between.

Find out more about No. 19 Poudré by Chanel in the Basenotes Fragrance Directory
TarteRouge Croatia Show all reviews | Very wearable perfume. Nonintrusive, intimate and outspoken at the same time. It's a soft, not too powdery green iris with a pinch of mineral freshness. A bit fuzzy during the powder phase, otherwise clear and structured. Excellent performance. 31st August, 2014 (Last Edited: 01st September, 2014) |
Nefret United States Show all reviews | Lovely, edgeless Chanel No. 19 is one of my perennial favorites; I don't think it gets old. If I had to pick one forever, well, that's it. The brisk leathery notes with sharper green were not entirely pared out, but they're certainly not in the forefront. The powdery musk that takes up the rest of the space holds no interest for me. There's nothing wrong with this pretty fragrance, except that I wanted to like it, and found it bland. Pros: Easily wearable, feminine 07th September, 2013 |
gmstrack United States Show all reviews | Trust Fund Baby No 19 Poudre Chanel could be the shy, yet talented niece of Chanel 19. Auntie is wealthy (thanks to her own efforts) and has aged quite well; in fact, she takes a young lover from time to time, but never allows herself to be bothered with permanent attachments. Children (and some adults) who read "The Witches" by Roald Dahl cower in terror has she approaches. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder is apparent if one were to inspect her well-kept home: the space between the refrigerator and the wall doesnt harbor a speck of dust, and of course her lingerie wardrobe is organized and color coded. We will not discuss her Chanel handbag collection. The young niece, on the other hand, is a straight-A student studying art history at NYU and lives in a small bohemian loft. Her elegant, yet relaxed appearance draws everyone who meets her in for a closer look. She has a couple of confidantes whom she shares her bed with, but prefers to maintain friendships instead of settle down. She spends her spare time volunteering at soup kitchens and hanging out with friends at trendy cafes and bars. In spite of her art degree, she knows that she will land a decent job immediately after graduationauntie will make sure of it. 18th June, 2013 |
perfumebox Singapore Show all reviews | I'm one of the few people who likes BOTH the original AND the Poudre versions of No 19 equally. 14th November, 2012 |
truman0907 Show all reviews | No lasting power. Pleasant but not great. 21st October, 2012 |
tuittumurmeli Finland Show all reviews | I received a bottle as a gift from my SO last autumn. I had, actually, wished for the original No. 19. Alas, I soon learned to love the new edition. Its tone is so caressing, soft and sensual, yet its also very restrained and elegant. Whereas the original No. 19 is to me a fresh, brisk green one and a great perfume by itself, compared to Poudré the original conveys the image of Honoria from the Jeeves and Wooster series: it feels sharp, perky and girl scout like. I do not have anyone casted for Poudré, but although I can find the original's elementary notes from it, Poudré has them veiled behind a chiffon layer of poudery iris. I found myself pairing the Poudré with cashmere knits on icy cold winterdays. Both felt equally soft and tender. 19th July, 2012 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | This is the first review? I wonder why. Maybe because this is a good perfume, but it doesn't seem fair to name it No. 19, which is better by a long shot. Yet, this new perfume is a beautiful iris fragrance. It has no rose. I repeat, no rose at all. That is the biggest difference between it an its namesake. 02nd June, 2012 |

Fast & Easy Corn On The Cob
Is there anything better than fresh and sweet corn on the cob? I could eat it every day all summer long, but when it comes to shucking, blech and I never quite know exactly how to cook it. Sometime I grill it with husk on, sometimes wrapped in foil or directly on the grill. Then there's boiling, do I start from cold water? How long do I boil it? Boiling it tends to make the flavor watered down though. I never seem to cook corn the same way twice, always searching for the perfect recipe.
Yesterday I was stocking up on the sweet corn sale and decided to shuck it into the bin provided by the store. A woman, who looked like my grandmother, suggested I leave the husk on and microwave it. Seriously? Another grandmother figure concurred, then another! There were three grandmothers all agreeing that microwave corn on the cob is the easiest and cleanest method for cooking. They had me hooked and I asked all three of them exactly how to cook it. I immediately went home and tried it out and it worked! No shucking, super clean with no silks left behind and absolutely delicious flavor and texture. Thank you three adorable and oh-so-sweet grandmother figures. Check out the step by step guide to the easiest corn you've ever made.

At first I wasn't going to get a screen protector for my iPad because I didn't want to put any stick substance on it. I search and read many reviews and found one that doesn't leave a sticky residue. Read this article and reviews, it might help you figure out which is best for you. Top 5 iPad screen protector article: http://dealrevealers.com/top-5-ipad-screen-protectors/
I was trying to views the top five best screen plrotectos, but that link doesn't bring me to that page. It takes me to amazon??
honestly, i've gotten so many screen protectors and i can barely tell the difference between them. i'd just get one of those cheap 3-packs on amazon. i honestly don't think there's a huge difference.
I ordered Eaglepro on Amazon and it came with two packs. I applied it the first day, and at first it had a rough feel touch to it, but the next day it was nice and smooth.
I think the eaglepro screen protector isn't bad at all. It's nice and smooth ant the roughness went away.

Former Conn. Police Officer Alleges Antitransgender Discrimination
BY Parker Marie Molloy
July 01 2014 4:28 PM ET
A transgender police officer in Connecticut is alleging discrimination after being fired from the force last week.
Francesca Quaranta, 47, came out as transgender to her coworkers at the Middletown Police Department in 2012. She believes this set off a series of events that eventually led to her firing, she tells the Associated Press.
Quaranta alleges that the city, along with the police department, engaged in a number of discriminatory actions, including, she claims, the city's refusal to cover gender-confirming surgeries in its employee health insurance policies.
She also complained that the police department refused to let her wear a wig to work, citing departmental policy. Additionally, she believes that she received an unfair level of scrutiny of her job performance, singled out for harsher critique than were her fellow officers.
Quaranta alleges that she was not allowed to wear earrings to work, even though other female officers wore similar jewelry on a regular basis, and she says several of her colleagues once had an inappropriate discussion about her sexuality.
Last year a city doctor determined that Quaranta suffered from anxiety, depression, and paranoia, making her unfit for duty, and placed her on leave.
According to the city, officials were forced to terminate Quaranta after she rejected a number of attempts to return her to work following her administrative leave. Last week Middletown mayor Daniel Drew informed Quaranta that she had been fired after failing a fitness for duty evaluation and refusing a second evaluation.
"She has refused to avail herself of the opportunities we presented to get her back to work," Drew told the AP. "So we have not been tolerant of any abuse of Officer Quaranta or anyone else."
In addition to Quaranta's failed fitness for duty exam, the city cited a December DUI arrest, which the city claims was not reported to her supervisors, though Quaranta says she reported the arrest to a supervisor within 48 hours as required by department policy.
Last year Quaranta filed a complaint with the state's Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, which remains pending. She said she plans to file suit against the city and hopes to receive monetary compensation.

It's a given that you are a pathological liar, soooooooo, saying you're not from Frankfort does not mean much. Most likely it means the opposite.
Besides, since you claim that Frankfort is nothing but back-woods, uneducated, pathetic retarded (although I don't like to use that term) crackheads......Then you must be from Frankfort. |

This is a thread about someone stealing money from kids. Stop with the bs! No one but the two of you give a rats ass |
May 31, 2012
You must be a child, because adults that I know, do not talk like that. Who is your teacher at school? I'd like to have a word with him or her. Do you kiss your parents goodnight with that potty mouth of yours? Grow a set of balls and put your real name on here, or just hide behind you keyboard. If you have such a big problem with Joe B, why don't you confront him about it, or you scared? The real issue here is that someone stole big money from Pop Warner and not one person is doing anything about it. That is really low to steal form your community and KIDS. |

I can't believe that the board has nothing about the thief that robbed from our community. If it was a small amount, I could see maybe letting it go. But 10 grand, that's grand Larceny.

When you hear the term "Respiratory Care", what does it mean to you? Does it mean clocking in and clocking out to collect a pay check? Or does it mean something special?
You see, I grew up in a family of RTs and entrepreneurs, and to me the term Respiratory Therapist or Respiratory Care meant something powerful – it meant excellence, it meant changing the world. As a child, my role models were (and still are) my father and my uncle, RTs who made a difference in patients' lives and in our profession as a whole every single day. Like most kids, I had friends who wanted to be doctors, astronauts, and even the President of the United States. I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a Respiratory Therapist, I wanted to be an entrepreneur, and I wanted to make a difference . In my mind RTs were the top of the food chain. I assumed doctors and lawyers, politicians and astronauts were all equals to Respiratory Therapists. When I went on to respiratory school I learned this is not the case, and, to tell you the truth, I was devastated with disappointment when I found out that RTs were not respected the way I felt they should be – the way I respected them. But most of all, I was devastated that RTs didn't seem to mind this situation we were in.
Think about it, we are highly skilled specialists in the diagnostics and treatment of the two most important organs, and yet we are, in many cases, content with our status. How can we be content being, as some call it, "treatment jockeys." Is this what you went to school for? Did you wake up one day and say, "I really want to be in a job where respect is only given to those who earn it back after many before us worked hard to do the minimum to get by?" What about those elite before us who pioneered the profession and made it possible for us to make a living today?

Emily Maynard Shares Exciting News! What Is It?
Credit: Instagram Photo: Emily Maynard for Towne and Reese
The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived. That is, if the moment you've been waiting for involves shoving giant turquoise rings designed by Emily Maynard all over your fingers. Our favorite Bachelorette bombshell has been teasing her new line of jewelry for months now, and guys? You can finally buy up Emily's goods on her lifestyle website! "Showcasing my love for intriguing and original jewelry, these pieces are designed with mixed metals, hammered hardware, natural stones, and playful contrasts that bring personality to any occasion," Emily writes on her site. "I hope you love everything as much as I do. XO, Emily."

Love is an understatement. Each and every one of Emily's designs are glorious, and we can't wait to crack open our piggy bank (aka our jar of money shaped like Chris Harrison's head) and buy all these fabulous pieces. And the best part about Em's collection? The prices are so reasonable! Most of her necklaces are under $100 (though our favorite is The Sedley Necklace for $130), the majority of her bracelets are under $50, and all her earrings are $65 or less. Talk about a steal!
Emily teamed up with Christi Pack and Jessica Stanfield of Towne and Reese to design this line, and each piece was named by none other than Em's daughter Ricki Hendrick! "Ricki had a lot of fun naming each piece after one of her friends," Emily told InStyle back in June. "She went through the whole yearbook!"
Do you love Em's beautiful new line of bling? Head over to her website to snatch up your faves — we have a feeling these bad boys will be flying off the shelves like Emily flies off the rails about Ricki.

Bonnie Sweeten, 38, of Feasterville, made at least two 911 calls Tuesday afternoon from her cell phone, saying she was locked in a car trunk, Philadelphia police said. Sweeten implied that her daughter was with her, but the girl is not heard on the tapes, Lt. Frank Vanore said.
The FBI joined the case along with local police in Upper Southampton Township, where Sweeten's vehicle was reportedly bumped from behind on a busy road. FBI agent J.J. Klaver said there were "inconsistencies" in the account of the accident and abduction but declined to elaborate. "We're not really in a position to address some of these issues right now. Our priority is getting everybody back safely," he said.
A Facebook group on the case has been started.
The 911 calls were made in downtown Philadelphia, about 20 miles from the site of the reported abduction, starting at about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday. Sweeten's vehicle, a 2005 GMC Denali, was found downtown early Wednesday with a parking ticket that had been issued the afternoon before, Vanore said.
"Based on what she says, they supposedly took her car and she was put in another car, but right now that's all we have to go on," said Vanore, who heard the tapes. "It definitely sounds like she's afraid. ... But it's hard to tell what's going on."
The daughter, Julia Rakoczy, attended elementary school in Bensalem until she was withdrawn from classes May 1, said Susan Harder, an administrative assistant with the Bensalem Township School District.
Sweeten, who is white, described her abductors as black males but gave few details of their appearance, Vanore said. "It was pretty generic," he said.
Sweeten has two other daughters, an 8-month-old with her current husband and a 15-year-old from a previous marriage. A man at Sweeten's home refused to comment Wednesday and asked reporters to leave.
Sweeten's ex-husband and Julia's father, Tony Rakoczy, said on NBC's "Today" show that he doesn't understand why the two would be abducted. "There's no reason why they would keep them," he said. "We don't have money. I don't understand."

I got two of these modern club chairs for my rec room and they look just perfect in the contemporary design of the space. Now the rec room feels like a lounge and my friends love hanging out there. The cushioning is a nice balance of firmness and softness and the bonded leather is super easy to clean -- just a few swipes of a damp cloth and these chairs look like new.
I am ecstatic with the Lemoray chair. As an accent chair in my minimal home, it fits in just perfectly. And while the color white is something one needs to be careful with, the bonded leater, as other posters have noted, is extraordinary in its ability to repel most things that would stain it with just a clean damp cloth. The design of this chair is very eye-catching and has been a conversation starter.
There is something so nice about white furniture, perhaps something a bit luxurious, almost decadent. I mean, why would anyone want something that can get so easily dirty? But I must agree with unterfled -- bonded leather is extremely easy to keep clean. This piece was purchased to be an accent side chair and works nicely in this role. Solidly constructed, sharp looking and affordably priced, this club chair has been a worthwhile purchase.
I adore my new club chairs. I ordered two into my newly furnished living to bring in some beautiful and elegant addition and to finally have some comfortable chairs where we can rest and relax. I had always a crush for black and white pieces but I never expected these chairs to be such beautiful and top quality. The price was really affordable and every material these chairs have is high quality. Everyone should have this chair if searching for extravagant beauty and style combined with comfort. Thank you.
This club chair looks beautiful. I ordered two into my newly furnished living room on a highly affordable price. The chairs have a specific charm of simplicity and fresh elegance, looking amazing in the modern interior. What more, they are really comfortable, I can have a great relaxation time and despite they are white cleaning is really easy. Hard and soft in the same time, the construction and materials are top quality.
These chairs are so modern and beautiful. Color is more ivory than off white but I still loved them. Got two to go against an accent wall and looks gorgeous. Got many compliments and very comfortable. Thank you overstock!
I ordered two of these chairs. I love them. They fit in perfectly in my contemporary living room. They're comfortable and add casual class to the overall look. I've been looking for chairs that had a different look from the traditional club chair. Finally, I found them at Overstock. One small complaint, the color is more white than off-white.
They fits our style and gives us the extra seating we needed. Best part I didn't have to go shopping.
These are the perfect chairs for a small lounge area in my open floor plan loft. They add an elegant
I'm very happy. I needed a chair that was going to work for men and women, and I got it! Everyone loves seating in it and most of them say they are surprised at how comfortable it is.

EUR/USD Forecast August 23, 2012, Technical Analysis
Add a comment
Technical Reports
To learn more click here
The EUR/USD pair broke through the 1.25 level on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve released minutes from the July meeting. This suggested that there were several people on the board that were willing to engage in monetary easing if the US economy doesn't pickup, and as such the market sold off the US dollar.
However, we are currently at the top of the rising wedge we've been following, and there is a ton of resistance all the way to the 1.27 level. Certainly, over the last couple of sessions we have seen the Euro overbought, and as such we are looking for some type of weakness to sell. We haven't got yet, so we think that it's coming. With this in mind, we are looking for a sell signal on the smaller time frames that line up with our rising wedge.

Abstract: | Reliable characterization of the propagation environment and channel modelling of mobile satellite communication systems is necessary in order to provide better quality of service and efficient design of these systems. In this paper, the channel impairments affecting the performance and an overview of the satellite channel models are presented. The statistical distributions of the received signal that can be used to characterize the dynamic nature of these propagation channels are also presented. The main modelling parameters are investigated and simulation results show that the bit error rate performance (BER) is predominantly affected by the shadowing factor. |

One can also increase the finger space around connectors by not lining them up in a square grid of rows and columns. Rather, shift each row left/right so that the connectors in that row are mid-way (horizontally) between the connectors in the row above/below. In other words, not this: o-o-o-o o-o-o-o o-o-o-o but instead this: o-o-o-o -o-o-o- o-o-o-o -- Eric K3NA |

National Governors Association
The National Governors Association (NGA) is the bipartisan organization of the nation's governors. Through NGA, governors share best practices, speak with a collective voice on national policy and develop innovative solutions that improve state government and support the principles of federalism. The organization was founded in 1908 as the National Governors' Conference. [1]
IN 1907, the Conference of Governors was felt necessary by the Inland Waterways Commission to provide both state and national views relating to practical questions dealing with natural resources utilization and management in the Progressive Era.[2] The NGA represents the governors of the fifty U.S. states and five U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). It is funded primarily by state dues, federal grants and contracts, and private contributions.[3]
NGA serves as a key public policy liaison between the state governments and the federal government. NGA provides governors and their senior staff members with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and at the White House when discussing federal issues to developing policy reports on state programs and hosting networking seminars for state executive branch officials. The NGA Center for Best Practices focuses on state innovations and best practices on issues that range from education and health to technology, welfare reform, and the environment. NGA also provides management and technical assistance to both new and incumbent governors.
NGA adopted a policy in 1977 formalizing its standard practice for many years: The position of NGA chair alternates yearly between Republican and Democratic governors, so that neither party can control the position for two consecutive years. The vice chair is usually of the opposite party to the chair, and generally assumes the role of chair the following year. The current NGA chair is Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado, a Democrat. The vice chair is Governor Gary Herbert of Utah, a Republican.
Bill Clinton is, to date, the only former chair of the organization to become President of the United States.

Syria talks resume amid failing expectations
Comment on this storyGeneva - Talks between Syria's warring sides entered their fifth day in Geneva on Wednesday with no signs of progress on a transfer of power or on providing desperately needed humanitarian relief.
Delegations from President Bashar al-Assad's regime and the opposition National Coalition sat down from around 11.00am (10.00 GMT), the UN said.
The two sides have been unable to even begin discussing political questions, let alone the core issue of creating a transitional governing body.
There has been disappointment over the failure to agree any humanitarian measures, especially for besieged residents in the central city of Homs, where UN trucks are waiting for access to deliver food and medical aid.
Tuesday's talks fell apart after the regime delegation urged participants to adopt a statement condemning Washington for supporting "terrorists" in Syria by backing rebel groups.
The opposition said it had presented its "vision" of the way forward but that the regime had refused to discuss it.
UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said he had decided to cancel Tuesday afternoon talks and reconvene the parties for "what I hope will be a better session" on Wednesday morning.
"Nobody is walking out, nobody is running away," Brahimi told reporters on Tuesday. "We have not achieved any breakthrough, but we are still at it, and this is good enough as far as I'm concerned."
A source in the opposition delegation told AFP the regime had been asked to say on Wednesday how it views the Geneva communique - the statement on forming a transitional government that was issued after talks among global powers here in 2012.
"Brahimi on Tuesday was very clear: the regime delegation must present its agenda and its vision of Geneva I," the source said.
The two sides have been brought together in the biggest diplomatic push yet to end a civil war that has left more than 130 000 dead and forced millions from their homes.
Expectations are low for a breakthrough, especially after the talks hit an impasse Monday when the two sides failed to agree on even the basic principles of political talks.
Despite their frustration, each side vowed it would not be the first to walk away from the talks, which are expected to last until Friday.
In the only tangible promise to emerge from the meetings so far, Brahimi said Sunday the regime had agreed to allow women and children safe passage from besieged rebel-held areas of Homs.
But there has been no movement since, on either an evacuation or Brahimi's hope that aid convoys will be allowed in the areas.
The Old City of Homs has been under siege since June 2012 after rebels there rose against the regime, with an estimated 500 families living with near-daily shelling and the barest of supplies.
UN bodies and the International Committee of the Red Cross have said they are on standby with aid but are waiting for approval to move in.
"The convoy is ready and still waiting to enter. The authorisation has not been given yet," Brahimi said on Tuesday. "We haven't given up on that."
It took months of pressure from Washington, which backs the opposition, and Moscow, Assad's key international ally and arms supplier, to bring the two sides together.
But in his annual State of the Union address, President Barack Obama made little mention of Syria, saying only that his administration would continue to work for a future "the Syrian people deserve - a future free of dictatorship, terror and fear". - AFP

The Neighs Have It
The Horse Whisperer comes to town
By Justin Berton
UNDER A HOT SUN one Saturday afternoon, a trio of women drove high into the Saratoga hills to the Garrod Stables. They were going to speak to the horses.
When they arrived, Carola Hakkert, an animal communicator, led her colleagues to a shady spot next to a row of resting horses. The women unfolded lawn chairs and placed them in a semicircle. They opened up plastic bags filled with carrots and apple wedges for their clients, took out their notebooks and pens, and waited for the horses to line up.
The first horse, a 23-year-old mix named Troy, was lame in his hind right leg. His leaser, Beth Johnson, steered Troy's muzzle into the curve of the seated women. Johnson had recently returned from vacation and found Troy limping. "I've never seen him like this before," Johnson told the women. "It's a shock."
Johnson had taken Troy to see a veterinarian several times, but the vet was stumped. Now, the vet had suggested to Johnson, they should start the lengthy process of numbing Troy's leg in sections, from the hoof up to the hip, until the pain could be located. Hoping to spare Troy the anguish of playing a guessing game with a needle, Johnson came for help. "My question is," Johnson asked, "where in the leg does it hurt?"
Carola led the group into meditation. "Imagine you are a lion, with a long tail that swings back and forth," she said, eyes closed. "Now put that tail into the earth and wrap it around a rock, or a piece of quartz, or whatever you find. Now let that energy flow within you. Now rise to the heavens and take your energy with you."
Carola and the women took a few deep, clear breaths. They opened their eyes and looked directly at Troy, who stood calm and momentarily put his lame foot flush on the ground. The women started scribbling in their notebooks. After a few minutes of silence, one of the ladies (who asked not to be identified by her real name--"I work in high tech; I have that life and I have this life") offered her prognosis.
"I don't feel it in the leg or the foot," she said.
"No, I don't either," Carola agreed.
"It's up here in the hip area."
"The hip," Carola said.
Initially Johnson expressed surprise. But then she came to a that-makes-perfect-sense composure. "The hip," she said.
For Carola, one of about a dozen animal communicators in the Bay Area, talking to Troy and other animals comes largely from instinct. As a child, she recalls playing on her grandfather's farm in Germany, where she forged her relationship with animals. "My grandfather was a naturalist of sorts. He was always taking in injured animals--foxes, crows, owls--and rehabilitating them and then releasing them. He taught me a lot about nature and wild animals."
Carola came to the United States after marrying a GI, and got involved with the animal assistance services. She's sat on the board of directors for the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley, been active with the Great Dane Rescue Organization and has worked as a foster mom for pets, raising and socializing about 100 cats and dogs. Currently, she's proprietor of Carola's Pet Sitting business in Cupertino.
Like many animal owners, Carola found herself able to communicate, on a level without language, with her own four cats. She wondered if she could do the same with animals who weren't her own. Three years ago she took a one-day class through an adult education program that taught her how to more closely tune in to animal thoughts and feelings. The mentor of the class asked Carola and the other students to fix their imaginations on one animal. Carola chose a mountain lion and began weeping within minutes. "I could feel his pain all over me, especially in my throat; that's where I can feel it the most. He was totally confused and frightened and I was telling him to run, run, up high on the mountain. I was crying and crying," Carola recalls, "and she [the mentor] said, 'You got it.'"
At the Garrod Stables, Carola and her friends offered to come every few months, for no charge, to help horse owners get some answers to their questions. During this visit, a record 16 owners participated.
Gypsy was found starving to death and the new owner wanted to know what Gypsy's perception of him was--would she trust again? "Yes. She loves you. You saved her life." When Amber, a dark horse with a sagging back, arrived, the ladies moved uneasily in their chairs. Amber had been separated from her foal, Cassion, six months ago.
Carola put her hand high on her chest and her eyes began to tear. "She's not doing well. The feelings of missing her baby have already settled into her body."
There was a lot of consoling afterward and the owner asked what she could do.
"Just talk to her," Carola said. "Talk to her as much as you can and tell her everything is going to be OK."

Question on Office 2011
Hey guys,
I bought my 13" MBA this summer and love it. I've been getting by using iWork for spreadsheets. However recently I got accepted into Business School and they sent me literature about buying a PC and getting Microsoft Office. I have no problem buying Office, but I know from past experience that Office on Mac is just not the same as Office on Windows- using my Powerbook back when I was in College. I don't want it's limitations or quirks to hinder me- like if I send an Excel spreadsheet that looks like it will fit on one page on my computer to a professor and he opens it and it is not one page on his computer. As I see it, my choices are: Buy Office 2011 for Mac. Put Windows on my MBA and to dual boot, and buy Office for the Windows side. (can you still do this?) Buy a PC laptop off of Craigslist, hopefully one already with the latest version of Office installed on it. Some Mac guys think Pages and Numbers work just as well. Some computer guys swear by the Windows version of Office. Anyone have experience with Office '11? Is it useable for college? Thanks!!! |

As you say, there are some limitations of Office 2011 compared to Office for windows. If you want to be on the safe side, get a windows VM and install Office.

I have office 2011 for Mac and use it almost daily. It works well enough and generally is fine for MOST things. If you get a macro or an excel spreadsheet with VBS used, you' SOL. But otherwise it's basically the same. BUT The current version for PC is 2013 and that is not available on the Mac.
Don't create a partition for it, just get VMWare Fusion, or Parallels or the free vm software (forgot the name) and install windows in that and put Office in there. Then it is 100% the same as a PC; and since office isn't really demanding, it will run quite well. |

Since you are attending business school, I feel you're likely to be work on some excel intensive projects. I would recommend you install windows and buy office 2010/2013 rather than Parallels. Otherwise, Mac Office 2011 would work out fine for you.

So if I get Parallels, then I just buy the PC version of Office, correct? And install it on there? Has anyone done this before with more experience?
Thanks so much! |

You'd have to buy Windows as well.
A lot of people have experience with Parallels (and Fusion, etc). That's a really vague question. Depends on specifically what you're doing in college. Even "Business School" doesn't really tell anyone enough to make such a call for you. |

You need to buy Parallels and a copy of Windows (preferably Windows 7). It's easy to set up -- Parallels will guide you through the installation. You run parallels in a mode (they call "Coherence") that allows you to run the Windows applications directly from OS X on the OS X desktop. You can save files in the OS X file system as well. While I use Office for Mac, I do run lots of programs that are Windows only simultaneously with Mac applications and need this flexibility.

I haven't had any significant compatibility issues with Office Mac 2011. I rarely exchange files with others but the few that I have we're fine. My spreadsheets aren't very complex but some have imbedded graphs, pivot tables, and complex functions and table lookups. They all worked fine when I moved over from a PC.

As a side note, check to see if your school has a license agreement with MS before you buy either; if o you can get MS products at a discount. Parallels also has educational pricing. I would also invest in Decimus Software's Sync Pro as well as Forever Save. Sync lets you sync your files real time to an external drive / USB / cloud to keep backups; Forever Save saves incrementally so you can go back to an earlier version if needed. |

If your buying it, may I suggest Office 365 subscription to give you access to both the Mac office 2011 and Windows office 2013 editions.
