Dylan then started learning how to dance at the age of two.
When they got older they moved to New York because the Brooke got a building for dance. Conner didn't care if she taught Dylan how to dance. The studio name was called

Other kids joined and Dylan and Paige stayed close, and they made friends. They would travel to competitions, and were an elite team.
When Paige went to school she was a cheerleader, and she still danced at the studio. When Dylan went to high school he also went out for the cheer team and made it. He was a good tumbler on the team. They even had girls had him in the air as a flyer. He still danced. In high school people made fun of him because he was in cheer. Dylan knew he was going to, but he didn't care.
One time a group of guys followed him after school when cheer practice was over. They then started to beat him up. He tried fighting back, but there were to many of them. Then the rest of the cheer team saw and helped him out. Dylan was happy to have his friends. Those boys were suspended and they tried jumping him again, but the football team came together and helped him.
When Dylan turned fifteen his dad took him to camp. Dylan didn't really talk to his dad, but he supported that Dylan was bisexual. Dylan just didn't tell him that he was more towards males instead of females.
Dylan has light brown hair that is short and wavy. He sometimes brushes it, or just runs his hands through it and tada! its done! Dylan the has blue eyes that are dazzling.

He likes to play around too much and sometimes when he teases his sister he goes over the line, but she knows. So don't get crazy when he says something evil to her. He's just playing around. He just has a bubbly personality. Dylan is a Homosexual.
He is a dancer, so he can be a bit rude. He always likes to correct people. He is a perfectionist and wants everything to be perfect. He knows that isn't going to happen. He wants mostly everything to go his way, and this can make him grump and become an ass to everyone.

I've been wanting to make a canon in a long time! (FYI that line might be on my other form too) Now, Euterpe is my good side. I love music and I feel like she is my good side. I understand that you guys have to choose wisely, but I feel like I'm ready to take on her and Nemesis. I really want to have her as one of my canons became she is a muse!! And because Emmy Rossum!!

Cressida Alazae Blain
16/ December 24
South-West Africa
Godly Parent:
Mortal Family:
Cresta Blain Dallahasa -mother
Trevor Dallahasa - step dad
Shane Dallahasa - step brother
Years in camp
Cresta was a loving mother and when Cressida was a baby she didn't let her out of her sight. She didn't trust people as much. She was cautious because Zeus gave her a heads up on what might happen. Also, Cresta wanted save the times she has with her baby before sending her off to a Camp. Cresta worked as a model, and she was close to becoming a real model like modeling on the runway and all that stuff. When Cressida was able to walk Cresta brought her to her job so Cressida could see what she did. One day Cresta was at her with along side Cressida, the photographer seemed very suspicious. He was new and kept looking a Cressida as if she was a meal. Cresta stopped the man and said she had to go. She grabbed Cressida and left, but the man still followed.
Cresta got into her car putting Cressida in her seatbelt and she drove off. She looked into her mirror seeing the guy following her. Cresta was scared for her life, she started to speed up. She looked again and saw the guy had gotten pulled over so she got a bigger lead. She got to her house and she started to pack for both of them. She went to the neighbors house and told them she was leaving but if they could watch her house. They said yes and she put two bags for Cressida and Two for herself and she drove to the airport. Cresta was not in sight of the man and the got on a plane to New York. Cresta didn't want to take Cressida straight to the Camp because she was still a baby, so Cresta was keeping her. They flew from Southwest Africa to New York.
On the plane it was a long fly, but Cressida had made some friends. It was a little boy and his name was Shane. Shane was two and Cressida was still months but Shane was interested in Cressida's talking which was just baby talk and Shane would talk back and laugh at the same time. Cresta was a sleep then she heard laughing from her baby and she woke up. She wiped her face and put lotion on looking at Cressida and her new friend. Shane then poked his father showing him the baby.
"That's one cute baby you have."
then man told Cresta. Cresta smiled
"Thanks, her name is Cressida."
the man smiled back
"She beautiful. Like her mother. I'm Nick"
Cresta laughed
"Cresta, and thank you. Your son is adorable."
after those words they started talking. Cresta even told hem about Cressida's real father. It took them minutes for them to finally believe her. She knew that would happen. Then Nick asked if they had a place to stay she said no. Nick worked with houses and one was for sale. Cresta said she would take it and he had her sign the papers when they got off the plane to his office. Cresta was happy she meet Nick and they started seeing each other and he even celebrated Cressida's first birthday together and Christmas. Cressida and Shane were like best friends already, so it was fine for their parents to date.
Cresta got back to her job because they saw the photos she had taken and a owner for a company wanted her to become one of their own models. Nick was selling house and Cresta was modeling things were going good for Cressida. Cressida loved Nick and the way he treated her mother. She even called him dada by accident. Same with Shane he called Cresta mom sometimes. At the age of two and Shane at four they were put into day care. The both of them made their own friends and made friends together. It was Cressida's birthday again and an announcement happened and it was that Cresta and Nick were getting married. Cressida was happy, Shane was happy, and the two love birds were happy so this was amazing. They got married when Cressida was three and Shane was five. The two got along together but after a few months they started acting like brother and sister. The two would argue and time outs happened they would be fine one minute and the other minute they would turn on each other. They were still a happy family, but they acted up for a couple of years.
It was in the seventh grade where Shane had to stand up for his sister Cressida. Cressida has an accent and one day at break from school a boy who was in Shane's grade was making fun of her because she wants from here. Cressida a would just snap back at him calling him names. She then told Shane because the boy started talking about her family. Shane had to go and talk to the boy to leave her alone. They boy was a trouble maker so he didn't do much for his eight grade year. On the eight grade field trip everyone went but him. Cressida was walking with her friend when the guy went up to her still talking crap. And he said that she wasn't even Shane's real sister. That made her snap, the day got cloudy and wind came out of no where. The sunny day was gone and it was like a tornado might hit.
"Don't say anything about my family!"
she yelled. The boy just laughed pushing her down to the ground. People laughed and he started to walk away. She got up running to him and touched behind his back about to push him down instead instant pain wen through him. Cressida was confused on what happened. She just touched him and now he is going crazy with pain.
That day ended at school and she went home. She asked her mom why this had happened and her mom told her about her dad and about some camp. Cressida didn't want to leave. She loved her family and her brother was in high school and she wanted to watch his baseball games he played. And now she couldn't. Cresta also told her why they moved and was scared, that her powers came in that a monster might come again. Cressida nodded and said her goodbyes grabbing her bags. It was hard for her to leave her big brother Shane. She had no other brothers and Shane was on of them. She had to go is what he told her. She left crying and she has been at camp. She does go back home for her birthday and Christmas sometimes.
Cressida looks a lot like her mother with her light brown hair color. Her hair goes a bit passed her shoulders. It is light that is looks like there is some blonde in her hair like little highlights. She loves to keep her hair down and wavy. She can sometimes put it back in a bun or a ponytail. She can also do messy hairstyles that look better on her than the other hairstyles she has been given. She likes to do other designs with her hair. Her mom used to do her hair and she has seen other models do their own hair.
She has hazel eyes that look just like her moms so they figure that that is her mother. With her face she doesn't like to use much make up so she keeps it simple. She can do some blush here and there and lip gloss but she eject over does it. She likes to keep her face clean so she washes it with Luzern Pure Cleansing Cream. She uses all kinds of lotion because she hates dry skin. Her skin tone is a bit of a white light tan.
She is 5 feet 10 inches so she is tall. Her mother is tall as well. So looks like a younger version of her mother.You can see her wearing mostly anything girly. And most of the time her hair is loose and down. Cressida is thin with some muscles. She likes to workout she changes her routine, but she wants to keep herself in shape.
Cressida is a sweetheart that you just want to slap her. When you meet her she is just to nice. She loves to be around people and friends, and always wants to make them happy. She would do anything for her friends. She would do anything to save a loved one. She would even be willing to sacrifice herself for the world to save her loved ones. She wants to show them that she does care. She hates the stereotype that since she is a child of Zeus that she thinks that she is all about power, and that she cares about herself. Cressida cares a lot for people. She will sometimes try to buy someone's friendship. She hardly has to do this because she hasn't come to a person who doesn't want to be her friend.
She is an intelligent girl. She isn't just a girl who can be nice and all cocky, she can be smart too. She hates to admit that she is smart because it will just make her seem like she is a smart snobby girl. But she hates math, so if she wanted to argue with someone about number and statistics she will act like she knows what she is doing. Cressida likes to joke around and tease people. She is a jokester so she is a bit of a Hermes kid. She loves to shock people in different ways. For example when someone sits on the toilet it shocks them. Or she changes the weather on people, another example is if someone wants to go swimming she will make it really cold. She loves to joke and she loves people who can take a joke and who can play a joke on her. But don't make it to where you say someone it dead or she will get angry.
Cressida can have a mouth on her. She ca be a smartass to everyone she hates. She is sassy and can snap at anytime. She has a short temper and that can also hurt her. She will just attack anytime anywhere and won't be embarrassed that she is making a scene. You make her snap she will go at you. She never takes her anger out on anyone but the person she is mad at.When Cressida is angry she can't control her power as much as she can. She hates people who are rude from the start. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, she is like a Candor from Divergent she speaks the truth. The truth hurts doesn't it honey, and that's exactly what she will say. Should could care less if she hurts your feelings, but if you're rude to her you better be ready for the range of Cressida.As a fighter, Cressida is tough. Cressida is okay with hand to hand combat. She is mostly confident with her staff. However she likes her psychic electrokinesis power while fighting hand to hand combat.
Fatal Flaw:
Personal Loyalty
Cressida has a blackish purplish cat named Crescent. It has a birthmark around its eye and it is shaped like a crescent.
Weather Manipulation:
Cressida is able to control the weather. She hasn't really been able to control it. She can make it rain and make it foggy. The bad thing about this is that her emotions get the best of it. When she gets angry it rains hard and lighting and thunder happens. And when she feels really sad or depressed it is just wind. She can make the weather happen for a couple of hours, but the stronger the storm is the worse she gets.
Cressida has the ability to manipulate and control electricity. This isn't the best power she has gotten. She kind of hates this because when she uses it it takes a lot of energy from her. She an faint or even die. Also, Cressida has to have it rainy or she has to make it rainy for the lighting to be used. Kind of like Avatar the Air bender they need fire to manipulate it well she needs lighting or electricity to manipulate it.
Jinx is Cressida's staff. It is like the superhero NightWings' staff. However at the ends it give an electric shock, which is why she holds it from the middle. She can also take the staff apart making them into two.
She hates using swords. She goes home for her birthday and for Christmas.

Mortal Family:
Ellen Greyson - mother
Michael Greyson - twin brother
[played by Erin (Granger)]
Years in camp
Emma is the youngest, well she is more like two minutes younger than her brother Michael. Ellen was in love with Hepheastus.. Yeah I know. He wasn't the most attractive guy but she didn't care she loved his personality. She was heartbroken when he had to leave after the twins were born. She didn't understand why he had to leave if they really loved each other. Ellen was a nurse and she loved her job and she had to get a babysitter for the twins when she was gone. The babysitter was a boy named Kevin. Kevin was a teenager when he started babysitting the kids. He was homeschooled so it was easy for him to watch them and do his work. Ellen came home and spent as much as time with Emma and Michael as much as she could.
When they were five Kevin was angry that Ellen had vacation and he wasn't going to get paid. At the night Kevin started a fire in the twins room. The twins felt the heat right away because they were always warm and they were hot. It didn't feel to got for them but they had to save each other including their mother. Ellen woke up when the kids were screaming and she saved them. She ran out of the house with her kids and she heard another scream. It was Kevin's but by the time she tried going in the house fell down burning. After this happened they moved in with their grandmother.
Ellen had to work more and more until she made enough money to buy a house. The twins were now going to school. At the age 14 the twins made everyone feel like they were burning when they were mad. That's when Ellen took them to camp.
Emma and her brother look like their mother. Emma has light blonde hair that the tips stop at her chest. She also has layers in her hair and a tint of yellow if you really pay close attention. Emma likes to do her hair in different styles. She like I straight, wavy, curly, in pigtails, or even ponytails. he hair is naturally wavy. Most of the time you will see her hair down and not up. Along with her hair her eyes are a blue green color with dark eyelashes to go along with them.
Emma is a beautiful girl. She is 5'8 and is slim with a toned physique. She does like to stay fit. It's not like she has a six pack or anything but she can if she tried harder. She likes to workout but not everyday. She has light complected skin and her skin is smooth. She may be a bit lighter or darker than her brother. She is very feminine and likes a lot of colors. She doesn't use to much makeup but you will see her with some mascara on. He clothing style to her is okay. She wears t shirts with skirts and boots or she always dresses up for dances and Halloween.
There is a lot about Emma, that you will figure out really fast. Emma is a nice, caring, and fun girl. She loves to have friends and she can make them real fast took. She helps them with fashion and she doesn't lie if you ask her a question. Unless it's a question she has to lie about. She loves to tell jokes and be funny around anyone. She doesn't like to be rude, but if she has to it will happen. She doesn't like people that see her as just another pretty face. Emma is intelligent and she knows some stuff just not all. She mostly knows about forging stuff. She's smart in the forge. She loves to read, but she keeps that to herself and her brother knows about it.
She also doesn't like that people think that they are better then her. Emma just hates it, if she knows she is better she will say it. Emma has a big mouth and she isn't afraid to speak out. She will say what's right to her. She sometimes won't think about what she says and she will just say it. She is not a two face girl. If she is mad at you she isn't going to be fake and try being nice with you. She isn't fake she says what she says and she does what she feels. She can judge people because she knows that people judge her.
Emma is a big huge giant flirt. She loves loves loves boys. She loves to make a first impression that's why she gets dressed up. She knows how to flirt as well, and she does it well. She makes sure that the boy knows that she is into him, but she plays hard to get when the boy flirts with her. Emma get jealous real fast or she just gets mad when people don't pay attention to her. She always wants to be right and perfect when she knows she just can't. She isn't going to come out shy she is going to be herself.
Emma is warm, like literally she is warm. Her brother and her lived in New England which was cold and to them it wasn't that cold because they always seemed to stay warm. This also goes into her personality as well because when she gets mad she gets more hotter and hotter. She can't get to the point to where she can burn someone when they touch her but you will be able to feel the heat.
Fatal Flaw:
Heat wave :
Being the daughter of Hepheastus you would think controlling fire. Well Emma can bring and control heat waves. It helps her in some ways. So if she is cold she can make herself warm, even though she hardly get cold. And when fighting she can bring the heat waves on her opponent. It makes them feel like they are burning. The hotter she makes it the more energy it takes form her.
Emma is a great reader and she hates to admit it. She can read three books a day. She does sometimes sneak into the library to read, but she hates when people know she can read really good. However she hates that people don't think she is smart so she shows them up by reading.
Emma is always warm inside so she can hardly feel the cold. It isn't automatic she can make herself become warm because who wouldn't love to feel the nice weather. She can survive the cold temperatures if she has to. This can hurt her because the more warm she gets she can get light headed and pass out.
She has a celestial bronze sword that she made herself. Also it changes colors like a mood ring.

what are you waiting for?
love me like you do
Kalani Elizabeth Abbot
none at the moment
16/ December 17th
London,England the capital of England
Godly Parent:
Mortal Family:
Gregory Abbot- father
Years in camp
Like all the demigods here at camp their parent left when they were born. Gregory understood because Aphrodite told him she had to leave because of who she was. Gregory was upset at first, but he was happy to have a daughter. He named her Kalani because it was unique to him. He is a doctor, so at first he stayed with her when she was a baby then he got her a babysitter. The babysitter was nice and good with Kalani. Gregory would try his best to get home so he could spend time with his little girl. He didn't want to be like his father who left him when he was younger. He wanted to be there for Kalani. And so he was, he was there to here he first word and her first day of walking. When Kalani was in the first grade she made lots of friends. Gregory would let her friend come over because now that she had friends he could work a bit longer without her being bored.
However he did spoil Kalani. She was his only child and he was rich from being a doctor. He would buy her things that she didn't needed. He even bought her makeup when she needed it when she got older. He had a house built with four bedrooms all master bedrooms and two of the rooms were hers. One room was for her and the other room was for her friends, however she used both of the walk in closets.
When Kalani got older he started getting protective over her because he didn't want to loose her at a young age, and because he didn't want her to have a boyfriend in the fifth grade. A lot of boys did like Kalani, but none of them appealed to her. During the fifth grade a new kid came and he was the cutest boy in their fifth grade class. She was older than her because when they were in the seventh grade he was fourteen and she was twelve about to turn thirteen. She was the youngest in their class. However when she turned thirteen, the boy Freddie and her started talking. She went home and told her dad about him and Gregory wasn't going to let his little girl go, but he kew it was going to happen one day. So in the eighth grade Freddie asked her out and she said yes. They went to her house so Freddie could meet her dad. It went great, so Freddie's parents picked him up and she met his family and it was a good day. But that night something broke into their house and it was a Hellhound. Gregory and Kalani did their best to fight off the Hellhound. Once they could hide from it and escape the house with a few bags they left. Kalani packed as much as she could and they flew all the way to New York. From here Kalani didn't have Freddie anymore. She wrote to him, but he never wrote back. Her friends told her that when he got the letter he was heartbroken but he got with someone else then next day. That hurt Kalani, and she just wanted to get away from everyone, so her dad took her to camp knowing it was a good thing to do.
Kalani is a very attractive girl and tries to keep it that way. Let's start with her face, Kalani has blue downturned eyes, so they are in the middle of being big. When you looked at her face you can she her cheekbones that have some color in them. Then she has a aquiline shaped nose so it can look pointy at times. Kalani likes to put makeup on, so you will see makeup on her face. You'll see blush on he cheeks, eyeliner, some eye shadow, and other things she can do to her face. Kalani's hair color is brown, but she has it ombre right now. It is long and it probably goes to her mid back. She likes to have many different hairstyles. She can just let is loose and have it wavy, she can out it back into a ponytail, she can also braid it many different way, have it in a bun, and all kinds of other stuff.
If you look at Kalani's clothing it will be different everyday. She is girl so she likes to wear bright colors, but she does wear all the colors. She can go to wearing cute dresses to wearing some sweats and a plain shirt. Not everyday is a dress up day for her. She does have those days where she just wants to wake up brush her teeth and walk around in her sweats a plain shirt and her sandals. Speaking of sandals, Kalani has so many shoes that she sometimes gives them away to anyone. She likes any type of shoe, she is probably a size seven or eight in shoes.
Kalani is 5'4 so she isn't that tall. She has a lean figure and likes to keep it that way, so she work outs sometimes. When you look at her you don't see her as being strong at all. She doesn't have muscles until she flexes and she has little small muscles. Same with her legs, you don't see muscle in them unless she flexes. She also has a British accent.
Kalani has a bubbly personality, but let's start with her bad side so we can end on a good note. Kalani can be very selfish and can think that everything is about her. If she does anything you better give her credit and not say you don't know because that what mostly pisses this Aphrodite child off. She can also get very jealous, she knows she is pretty and sometimes she can forget that it's not always about being pretty, so if a guy isn't into her she gets jealous when she sees him with some other girl. Sometimes she can think that she can wink at the boy and get what she wants, and that isn't what is going to happen. She was spoiled when she was a kid so that is why she gets jealous. She can also be very snobby if she doesn't like you. This is the only time you can see her as a snob is if she doesn't like you or another person. She hates when people talk about her BEHIND HER BACK, so if you talk about her she will came right to your face and talk crap on you.
So now the good side of her! Kalani is a very sweet girl if you are on her good side. She loves to have friends by her side and make friends. Kalani can tell jokes and have fun here and there. She is also very helpful, and when she helps she was it to be perfect. She has to succeed to what she does if not she gets very stressed out. She is caring and likes to care for the news campers, she can be like a tour guide and she likes to help out in the infirmary. Kalani loves to hang out with everyone and she loves to try news things. Like food, speaking of food Kalani loves to eat just like everyone else. She is that one friend that can eat as much as she can and still stay skinny. Kalani is a honest person, she tells the truth and that means she says the first thing that comes to mind. This can be a bad thing because she can hurt the person's feelings, but the truth hurts. Knowing she is the daughter of Aphrodite she is a smart girl. She knows her history, but she keeps that to herself. She can sometimes be a dumb blonde, but hey we all have our blonde days!
Fatal Flaw:
ambition. She always wants to be successful
Kalani has a female Hedgehog named Echo. Echo is usually in her cage in her small bed. Kalani got Echo when she eleven and she has had her for five to six years.
Being the daughter of Aphrodite she has the ability to speak fluent French. She can understand it as well and even write in French. It's a talent most of her siblings have.
beauty meaning makeup. She is really good with fashion and can even make her own clothes and designs. She likes to try them on the campers and with girls she gives beauty tips and even does their makeup for them.
Beauté is Kalani's double ended sword staff. She had one of her Hephaestus friends make it for her. The sword part is celestial bronze, so she can actually kill monsters with it. The part she hold onto is hand crafted; with the saying
"La beauté est tout le monde" crafted in it; meaning Beauty is everyone.

Orlando Magic fans watched their TVs intently as the NBA Draft Lottery took place last week. Pulses quickened as the league's deputy commissioner, Adam Silver, rattled off team names one by one.
Just imagine how Ben McLemore felt. McLemore, a shooting guard from the University of Kansas, knew he was watching his future unfold. Butterflies swirled inside his stomach.

One of the most important things to incorporate into your diet is fruits and vegetables. Not only are they rich in micronutrients, but they are also a good source of fibre. Here are 5 simple ways to add more fruits and vegetables into your diet without eating salads three times a day.
1. Find Fruits and Veggies that You Enjoy
The easiest way to eat healthier is to find healthy foods that you enjoy.Maybe you enjoy bananas or apples or celery or tomatoes. Make sure you give all fruits and veggies ago so yu can find out which ones you most enjoy.
2. Drink Smoothies and Juices
If you are struggling to get in enough fruits and vegetables everyday, put them into your smoothies and juices. Spinach is great as it doesn't affect the taste of your smoothie or juice but is full of nutritional benefits. Juices aren't as good as smoothies as all the fibre from the produce has been removed.
3. Put Your Fruits and Vegetables Where You Can See Them
Whether its in a fruit bowl or on the top shelf of the fridge, put your fruits and veggies where you can see them so that you remember to eat them.
4. Cut Them up in Advance
When you have fruits and veggies ready to eat, you will be more likely to grab for them then you are when you have to prepare them when you're in a rush. It also can make them more convenient than packaged snacks.
5. Find Ways to Cook Them to Suit Your Tastes
If you like oats, add berries or zucchini to your oats. No matter what it is, find ways to add fresh produce to it. You can also make them taste better by adding spices and herbs to your cooking.

Springtime and the gardening season is finally upon us. I know millions of people are thrilled to be out from under the mountains of snow that inundated them for most of the winter. Our thoughts are turning from the desolate, depressing gray winter to warmer, colorful flower filled days. I'm a gardener and I love the spring. I enjoy the feel of dirt running through my fingers as I prepare the soil for planting. Part of my springtime prep also involves pruning. In North Carolina, we have Crepe Myrtle trees which need pruning each year. When these trees are in bloom they are absolutely stunning with huge clusters of brilliant flowers. The trick to having successful trees is the yearly pruning. The branches are cut way back and dead, unproductive stems are removed. The tree looks horrid and naked, when the cutting is done, but it won't last because in a few months it will be alive with verdant green leaves and stunning clumps of magenta, crimson or white blooms. The pruning produces beauty.
In John 15, Jesus talks to his disciples about pruning and uses the illustration of grapevines. In order to have abundant clusters of grapes, the farmer must prune the vines and remove the dead branches in order to provide adequate nourishment for the stems capable of producing fruit. He carefully examines the twigs and if he sees they are producing even a little fruit he will prune the stem to encourage more growth.
If you are experiencing trials and difficulties in your life, it is God pruning you to encourage growth in your Christian life. It is a cause for rejoicing because even if you're producing only a little fruit God believes you are capable of more and he is working on removing those things in your life which hinder your growth. I have been going through a pruning season in my life. God is removing every safety net from my life in order that I might learn to trust him. My faith was so superficial but the pruning process has deepened my belief in my heavenly father. It is not pleasant but it is vital. I don't want to be a dead branch God cuts and throws away.
Our desire, as Christians, should be to become fruit producers and this requires pruning. God will remove those dead items in our lives which hinder growth. As long as God sees evidence of life, he will do what is necessary to create abundance. Don't despise these times but thank God he considers you worth pruning.

Recognition of the Department of Land Economy's expertise in the evaluation of urban and regional policy was underpinned with the decision by the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (formerly the Department of the Environment) to award its major research project for the evaluation of the HM Government's regeneration activities funded under the Single Regeneration Budget to the Department of land Economy. The investigation is being conducted over an eight year period (1996-2003) and is led and directed by Dr Peter Tyler of the Department.
The Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) was introduced in April 1994. It combined twenty previously separate programmes designed to bring about economic, physical and social regeneration in local areas and its main purpose was to act as a catalyst for regeneration in the sense that it would work to attract other resources from the private, public and voluntary sectors in order to bring about improvements in local areas to the quality of life of local people. It was designed to do this by addressing local need, stimulating wealth creation and enhancing the local competitiveness of the area as a place in which business wished to invest and people wanted to live.
The activities of SRB were intended to make a real and lasting impact partly through the projects which were financed as part of the local regeneration package but also, and perhaps more importantly, through the encouragement of local partnerships. The local partnership approach was seen to be the vehicle by which local players would come together to formulate a joint approach to meeting local needs and priorities.
The research programme has a number of specific objectives:
- To design a methodology with which to evaluate the process by which economic, physical and social regeneration is achieved through the activities of the Single Regeneration Budget and this means understanding how local partnerships of key players and agencies are able to initiate and maintain regeneration activities.
- To undertake an evaluation of partnership programmes from the first two rounds of SRB to establish the impact and cost effectiveness of their regeneration packages - 20 case study schemes were selected. The evaluation process was to provide a coherent baseline, undertake an interim evaluation of the process of promoting and funding regeneration embracing the design, implementation and effectiveness of this process and also conduct a final evaluation of each case study.
- To undertake an analysis of those bids and thus partnerships who sought funding under the first two rounds of SRB but were not successful - 10 case study schemes were selected. This part of the work sought what factors were responsible for bid failure so that the capacity of local institutions could be strengthened and in this way ensure their place in bringing about regeneration in the future.
Social survey of households
As part of the research described under objective 2 the work sought to provide further insight into the nature of the economic and social aspects of local area problems. To emphasise the powerful interactions which exist between different facets of the problem a large survey of households in seven of the case study areas was undertaken. The survey sought to provide a clear baseline for the research so that it was possible
- to indicate the extent to which the degree of social deprivation and labour market distress was disproportionately greater in the areas concerned and
- as a benchmark from which to assess change over the years as the SRB initiative unfolded in the area concerned. Bearing in mind the substantial methodology difficulties that exist in identifying cause and effect and allowing for other factors that influence the pace of change in local areas.

All posts for the month June, 2014
There were no real interesting shots taken during the hour that I spent at the nest in week seven. So, let's skip to week eight, where I found the birds to be more active.
The first two shots were taken from the other side of the river.
This Indigo Bunting photograph was taken near Big Spring, Missouri.
Did you know…?
The Cerulean Warbler population has declined more than 80% since breeding bird surveys began in 1966? Habitat destruction, in the form of mountaintop removal and stream filling in the Appalachians, and forest destruction for agriculture in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, along with wintering grounds destruction for coffee and cocoa production in South America are responsible. Habitat preservation via cessation of deforestation in both nesting grounds and wintering forests are crucial if we are to continue hearing the Cerulean song.
One of my favorites, the Eastern Phoebe conveniently sings its name. If that isn't easy enough this tyrant flycatcher also pumps its tail incessantly while perched.

The Superintendents Role in Developing a Community of Readers in Indiana Middle-Grades Schools.
The Superintendents Role in Developing a Community of Readers in Indiana Middle-Grades Schools. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
A study determined the perceptions of Indiana public school superintendents regarding their role in influencing the development of a community of readers in Indiana middle-grades schools. In 1993-94, subjects, 292 out of a total of 297 public school superintendents, completed surveys related to 10 selected reading issues, including students' access to trade books; teachers as role models; staff development; daily time for students to become proficient readers; special assistance for students reading below grade level; providing school libraries that attract students and teachers; encouraging parents to support reading; and providing an environment where reading is encouraged and supported. These issues, as related to the school corporation size, tenure as a superintendent, and the number of college reading courses completed by the superintendents, were analyzed. Results indicated that: (1) neither the size of school corporations nor the superintendents' experience level had a significant impact on superintendents' perceptions of middle-grades reading, but the number of college reading courses did make a significant difference; (2) superintendents assumed that providing school libraries that attract students and teachers was the most vital factor related to middle-grades reading, however, they did not directly connect library book collections with good school libraries; and (3) superintendents perceived that reading is important and reported that reading practices employed in their schools and their direct involvement on the 10 issues deserved at least some priority. (Contains approximately 225 references and 44 tables of data. Appendixes present a list of the Middle Grades Reading Network, letters to superintendents, the survey instrument, and data.) (RS)

It's like training in this stuff. Everybody says, "oh, well, we already do that"...but no one seems to actually want to do the solo work it entails (me too, just as lazy as anybody).
Hi Ron:
One of the great nuggets of interest I've seen over the years (not just with Aikido people; all styles) is that someone (usually a teacher) will be at a workshop and it is apparent to everyone there learning that the teacher simply has no previous skills in these things. In fact, often a complete newbie can do much better than the teacher. So there is an embarrassing silence while everyone simply works and progresses. Near the end of the work, the teacher has achieved a modicum of skill in some minor steps that are meant to be what he/she starts their new training on. Instead, the modicum of skill is turned into a "see, I already knew this stuff".... he/she and the students troop back home and continue working the same wrong stuff they've worked for years. Next time I see them.... no progress.
Ego is the biggest killer of progress..... and the years keep rolling by.

If the hematuria is the result of an infection, treatment with antibiotics quickly reduces the amount of blood in the urine, explains the Harvard Health Guide. Hematuria caused by intense exercise resolves on its own within 24 to 48 hours.
If the hematuria is due to a kidney stone, the blood in the urine quickly goes away after the stone passes, according to the Harvard Health Guide. Drinking large quantities of fluids can help kidney stones to pass more quickly. The treatment type and length of time required to resolve other kinds of hematuria, such as hematuria due to trauma, bleeding disorders, tumors or glomerulonephritis depend on the exact cause of the condition and the patient's individual characteristics.

This is a blog that comments on both Paganism and politics in the United States, from a leftist-liberal point of view.

In Defense of Dan Halloran
The author had a mixed reaction to hearing about Halloran's candidacy. Though it is exciting that someone with a Pagan identity would run for such a position, Theodism is not the author's favorite flavor of Norse Paganism, as it is heavily involved with the idea of tribal identity that this writer has expressed discomfort with in the past. Furthermore, the Republican party in the USA is a political movement that the author finds extremely disagreeable, to put it mildly. For a liberal-progressive Pagan, there is not much to like about a right-wing political party that has often stood for racism and opposition to environmental protection efforts, to name just two items on what could be a very long list. So the author was struck with a dilemma: to cheer or to jeer at this Republican Heathen's run for office?
Certainly, Halloran's effort was groundbreaking, but the author would have much preferred that the first Norse Pagan to run for public office in the USA be a liberal Democratic candidate. That, however, is just a matter of personal taste, and it was mitigated by reading on various Asatru/Heathen forums about what a fine man and long-term supporter of Asatru and Theodism Halloran has been.
Something soon happened that caused the author to feel a rush of compassion for Halloran. Having been "outed" in a local newspaper about his involvement in Theodism, Halloran defended himself with an essay in which he spoke in very generic terms about being raised a Catholic and having belief in God. The author read this as a necessary political response, with a bit of understandable camouflage of religious identity, as the smartest possible way to deal with the political damage sure to follow from being associated with a religion that most Americans are likely to think badly of, out of ignorance, fear and the typical American distrust of non-Christian religiosity.
Then the author saw reactions from other Norse Pagans and Heathens on a variety of Heathen-related sites, and was quite shocked. Quite a few lashed out at Halloran in a brutal manner and condemned him for not making a more forthright public defense of his Heathenry. Several expressed pride in how they had been in tight spots themselves with job interviews and the like, and had openly proclaimed their Paganism despite the consequences. The author found this kind of reaction quite ironic, as it seemed as if what these critics really wanted was for Halloran to sacrifice his political aspirations and become a "martyr" for Heathenry, despite martyrdom being a rather Christian concept! The author feels that some expression of disappointment over Halloran's statements might have been fair game, but that this went over the line.
Worse, it suggested a very shortsighted and self-destructive view of how Heathens and Pagans should function in American society. There are few professions or lines of work where a person in America can really get away with being openly Pagan without paying some kind of cost in terms of lost respect, increased animosity, and decreased prospects for personal advancement, if not a quick loss of employment altogether. The insistence on Pagans or Heathens or Theodsmen proudly displaying their religious affiliation in very public ways even when in high-profile positions would, the author believes, probably confine Pagans to very low-level and marginal occupations. The author does not think that any Pagan should be forced to proclaim his or her religious identity when this might mean an end to their professional aspirations or a one-way road to public humiliation or persecution.
America is just not that tolerant, not yet. Let's be compassionate to those who need to cloak and conceal their Pagan identity at this point in time. After all, Odin, Thor and Loki all shifted shapes, lied and traveled in disguise when this was necessary to achieve their aims.
The author would be very curious to hear from readers in other countries about any similar or parallel situations of Pagans in politics in other lands.

I disagree with you.
I believe there was a defense given of this article that we repay lies with lies, and that deception is for our enemies, and not for our friends. While that all may be fine and good, Halloran's article is misleading the very people he wishes to serve; therefore, it is not only lying to his enemies, but deceiving to many of the people he wants to serve.
If deceptions are for our enemies, then Halloran has set up his very own electorate as an enemy. This does not seem to me to be either honorable, or defensible.
Look, I know Dan is in a difficult position. There ought to be no religious litmus test, and yet his own political convictions force him to run for a party that really does believe in such a litmus test. Imagine if he were running as a Dem. You'd ONLY hear about his religion then.
The worst part, to me, is that it seemed that the Republicans were sticking by him. They knew about his religion. And to me that was encouraging. He is still their man. So why be deceptive?
In the end, author, you're suggesting that we pretend to be something we're not in order to get something. To lie to friends and enemies alike in order to get power, which is not honorable or defensible in the slightest.
And you proclaim that to think otherwise is to be self-destructive. That's ridiculous! Was it not Emerson who wrote that imitation is suicide? Well, if we're just imitating Christians, have we not just killed ourselves?
I don't suggest that Halloran become a martyr, but I do suggest that he stand up (with all the strength of his party behind him) and say proudly and clearly that yes, he's a Theodsman. Yes, he worships the Gods of his ancestors, and that's the way for him. Because it's the honest thing to do, and the right thing to do.

I am shocked, shocked to learn of Pagans attacking other Pagans!!!
But srsly. Halloran should be defended as a Pagan. I don't much like his politics and as much as I love Norse (and more generally Germanic) Heathenry, I don't much care for his particular brand. Nevertheless.
The attack on Halloran began with a journalistic hit job that would be universally condemned if the same sort of crap had been done to a Catholic or a Jew. The message of that bit of yellow journalism was that Paganism is not a serious religion and therefore attacks on Pagans "don't count" as religious bigotry. That trumps everything else in my opinion.

Apuleius, it is interesting that you should refer to the film "Casablanca" with your "shocked, shocked" comment, since that film gives us a very good illustration of the need to sometimes conceal and dissemble for the sake of survival or, as I am arguing, success and prosperity in a Christian-dominant society. I guess I should reply that I am "shocked, shocked" that Pagans would be aghast at someone having to conceal their religious identity or even pretend to be Christian.

"Dan Halloran, a respected members of the Theodish variant of Heathenry/Asatru/Norse Paganism"
Um, you sure about that? Talk to some non-Normanii Theodsmen sometime. I'm just waiting for some journalist to find out that one of his people just got arrested for pimping out his wife. THEN you'll see a shitstorm.

The only way to make America more tolerant, is to push the envelope. I don't like it that *Martyrdom might be an option. But it is what it is.
In this country, there are supposed to be NO--I REPEAT NO Religious Tests to hold Public Office. And what Dan is facing is the long term, unofficial religious test that the Republican Christian Supremacists have been cultivating for years not just against Pagans obviously, but against any creed or denomination or faith, that makes for a convenient target, in order to further their own cause, which is to create a Theocracy by any means necessary.
I hate to say it but Wake up and Smell the Hegemony.
Dan should fight that Journalist. First of all, WHO owns that news media outlet that carried the story. Keep in mind that most news entities are owned by 1 of 3 or four megagiants, often those with their own political agenda.
Who is that local paper associated with? You have only to look at previous stories that cover items of religious import, to figure out fairly quickly if this was one of many organized attacks against religious or ethnic minorities.
If you are going to be a Pagan or a Heathen in the Public Eye, then you have to be ready for anything. And that includes being very savvy about how the media works, how rival religious organizations work, etc.,
The Republicans are not known in Recent History for their embrace of religious minorities, especially those that are seen as, at odds with Christianity. So my question is, why--isn't his own Party Defending him? Or have they decided to use him for kindling to light some other candidate's rising star?
As for deceiving the people---Deception of that degree only works for people not in the public eye, or those whose Pagan or Heathen identity is protected by oaths of secrecy.
There is no way that anyone is going to be able to keep a ruse like that up for long in this world of Facebook, the Blogosphere, and twitter. Privacy and personal history have been redefined, and that is to say, Watered down considerably.

I'm shocked that you're shocked. You are defending an unethical action, namely: deceiving your own electorate. And you're doing so simply because he belongs to a religion similar to your own.
If he were Mormon, and used deception to give people the impression that he was Catholic, would we heap praise upon him for his clever ruse? No. We'd call him a coward. But simply because he's a Pagan, we all rally.
We ought not to rally around which betrays virtue just because it's something a Pagan did. If a Pagan does it, it's just as much a violation of virtue as if anyone else did it.
It's your right to defend whatever point of view you wish, author, but it's our right equally to offer some kind of rebuttal.
To address Seeing Eye's point:
Here's a quote from the Queen's Courier (via Wild Hunt) to show that even before Halloran came out with his article , the Republican party was standing behind him:
"Queens Republicans are vehemently denying published reports that they are going to replace Dan Halloran as their candidate for the District 19 City Council seat …"The Queens County Republican Party has not for even a moment entertained a substitution of our candidate," said Vince Tabone, Queens executive vice chairman and spokesperson for the Halloran campaign. "What we have done is stand firmly with Dan Halloran and called on Congressman [Gary] Ackerman and his staffer Kevin Kim to renounce the vile, repugnant attacks on Dan Halloran's faith and heritage," he continued."
See? They already knew, they were running him anyway, and they were going to stand by him. It was a display of profound courage by a party which is, as you say, beset by a huge proto-theocratic Christian movement which has found its cancerous little home inside the heart of the Party.
- October 8, 2009 at 2:43 PM
- Seeing Eye Chick said...
Not replacing him as a candidate, is not the same as defending his honor. Are they also upping his appearance with the party supporting him locally? Have they run editorials in local papers countering this?
And if his party is so supportive of him *inspite of his Heathen identity, then why should he have to cop to being a Christian at all? Or is he practicing some form of Syncretism?

This comment addresss the question of whether the deceptions perpetrated by some of the Germanic gods justifies deception by devotees of those gods.
To put it mildly, I don't see the gods as models of how we *should* behave. The gods--in all of the branched of Indo-European myth that I'm familiar with--commit actions that are adjudged wrong by other beings in the myth. And it's clear that the gods and mortals are not necessarily judged by the same standards, as they are not comparable beings.

Below is my response to Halloran's article in the Queens Chronicle:
Halloran's article is deceptive.
As someone who also was raised Catholic, the headline of the piece stands out the most. "I believe in God." In every Catholic Mass, the congregation stands and says: "I believe in God, the Father almighty...." Christianity is the only religion that defines itself in terms of statements of beliefs. Even the other Abrahamic religions focus on actions rather than creed. To my mind, there can be no statement more explicitly Christian than "I believe in God."
If I was a local who read this article, I would likely assume that Halloran's opponent had attacked him for being Roman Catholic. I'd find myself wondering if perhaps Halloran had taken stands consistent with teachings of the Roman Church, such as anti-abortion, pro faith-based charities, anti same-sex marriage, or the like. While I disagree with those positions, I would not be surprised if a Republican candidate would espouse them, or that he would acknowledge that his Catholic faith led him to those positions. (Obviously, since I came to this article from The Wild Hunt, this is not what went through my head. This is what would have gone through my head if I ran across this article with no context.)
To me, this article is deceptive. He doesn't lie in this article, but he doesn't tell the truth. Apparently, the Theodish meaning of "honor" includes deception. Well, I shouldn't tar all Theodists with the same brush. All I can know for certain is that Halloran's understanding of honor allows him to perpetrate deception. That doesn't match my sense of honor. He would not be welcome in circle with me.

The deception issue is important.
Is he being deceptive or is he no longer a Heathen but has embraced Christainity.
Is he practicing Syncretism?
Article 6 of the United States Constitution States: "All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
Why would Haloran feel compelled to either deceive the public, or embrace politically motivated syncretism, or convert outright to another more socially acceptable religion--leaving what is considered a Fringe Belief system, if there wasn't a religious test being imposed on candidates from without?
Honestly I can see why Pagans and Heathens would be interested because this is an uncommon occurence. Not unheard of though. Its my understanding that Pete Pathfinder was involved in politics for a time. I am sure there are others.
However his religious beliefs should have no bearing on this whatsoever. It shouldnt even be brought up, unless, HE makes it an issue.
Like those dipshits that state that because they go to this or that church, and accept a specific religious doctrine, that somehow this sanctifies them to impose their religious morals on everyone else, regardless of belief or lackthereof, even if said law would violate the first amendment and possibly the right to privacy.
Any candidate that is Anti-Choice, Anti-Gay, Pro-Theocracy [of any kind] or knowingly supports other politicians who are, which the Republican Party does currently, then they would never get my vote. I don't care if they are the Lord High Witch Queen of the Hurdy Gurdy Coven and Little Green people fly out of their butt on full moons.
Politics should be about Policy Making and Society Building and not about Proselytizing. And if the only way you can get votes is by proselytizing, then that says a lot more about what's wrong with the process than anything else.
Thinking back to the 180 degree turn on a dime, by John McCain in regards to Religious Extremists. In 99 he ran an outstanding campaign as a Republican Candidate against Bush Jr, and was very vocal about his criticisms towards the Christian Coalition and its ilk. They made him disappear shortly after that speech in Virginia. In 2008, he sang a completely different tune. Even he had to sell out to the Dark Forces of Theocracy to get his foot in the door.
Seems to me there is a bigger issue here. One that is much older than Haloran's Candidacy.

I think you're incorrect when you assert that martyrdom is foreign to Heathenry. What would you call the 4500 Saxons who chose to die rather than pretending to be Christians? There were also plenty of Heathen martyrs in Norway who chose death and torture for their beliefs. Thorleif the Wise: ordered to be blinded. He withstood the torture so bravely that his torturers fled after having torn out only one of his eyes. Eyvind Kelde: drowned along with others. Iron Skegge: killed while defending Heathen temples in Maeri, Eyvind Kinnrifi: tortured to death with hot coals. Raud the Strong: tortured with a poisonous snake and a hot iron.
Workplaces aren't allowed to discriminate on religion when hiring. But they can of course. They may not ask you what your religion is but they might look at that funny necklace and decide you aren't professional. Basically I think if you're in doubt then you should hide your religion at the interview stage, and then once you've proved yourself in the job come out of the closet.

Having grown up in Queens I can tell you it is quite a diverse and usually tolerant place, but even so the religious right-wing shrillness of the last thirty years has certainly touched Queens as well. I am not surprised at the fire storm.
Had I been Halloran, I would have explained that issues of faith and spirituality should be intensely private. Faith is another word for introspection. Then I would have quickly expected a drop in poll numbers.
If you are going to run for public office, you have to expect the scrutiny. Still, it's good that people like Halloran are treading new ground.

If more strong, intelligent educated, successful individuals didn't take the pussyfooted politician way out, paganism in general would be more respected in society.
You would suggest a man compromise his gods, his religion, and his birthright for financial/political success? How stupid.

I liked Bob Dole for his sense of humor, above all, and also because he was part of that nearly-extinct species of "moderate Republicans" who were once able to collaborate with Democrats on legislation before the hard-right, New Gingrich crowd took over the GOP in the mid-1990s. Dole for example once collaborated with George McGovern on Food Stamp legislation. I did not vote for Dole, but I liked him.
