I called to order new dust shields that go behind the front rotors. On a whim I asked my contact to see if they still had center caps available. He got back to me and said he found four for me. I then asked him how many were available nation wide via the dealer network. He said 15. I've got my four and they are going on a shelf or maybe my deposit box at the bank.
I am assuming these would be available from a Pontiac Dealer?
They are available from Pontiac dealers. But the guy I got mine through went on the dealer inventory system and said there were only 15 left on the dealers shelves throughout the country.
So, either he's wrong and there are more available, there is another source, or there are really a very limited supply left.
The NPD catalog doesn't give a price and says to call. So, I think these caps are running out.
I've seen them go for anywhere between 30 and $50 dollars each. But it depends on their condition. But the plastic ones look different. I haven't seen the bullet type in plastic.
The emblems are available from GM...still. They are also available aftermarket. A friend of mine is going to buy the remaining 15 center caps that are listed on the GM inventory. I think he's getting them for something like $41 each.
does he really need ALL fifteen!!!
No, he doesn't even own a T/A. He wants to hold them for a couple of years...then sell them to suckers like us who'll pay big bucks for new original center caps.
This is the exact conversation we had about two weeks ago at the show was..
There is a guy I buy them from for about $300 a set with emblems included.
In fairness to my friend, he asked if I wanted them and I declined. My thought was not 15, but sending one to a friend of mne in China and asking what he could get 10,000 made for. Probably one or two dollars each. Then I could make a killing selling them for $30 each. So, if they're really out, I just might do that. Time will tell.
But it's really nice to pull a bright new shiny center cap out of the GM box!
Also you think you will be able to slap on my dashpad for me?

Review: This Really Is Too Much, Blue Elephant Theatre
Rob Ellis November 13, 2016 Off West EndReviewsTheatre261 views
It's not as though gender hasn't been explored in theatre. That doesn't mean we should stop – the problems haven't stopped – but it does mean finding a creative way to put your commentary across is harder than it ever has been. The path is well and truly trodden. Kudos then to Gracefool Collective, for proving sometimes it's not what you're saying, but how you're saying it that really counts. This Really Is Too Much (great title), played Blue Elephant Theatre over the weekend. It's a compact hour of dance, movement and physical theatre, which is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.
The Collective (Kate Cox, Sofia Edstrand, Rachel Fullegar and Rebecca Holmberg) have written and devised the piece, with some extracts coming from Kate Bornstein's Hidden: A Gender (in Gender Outlaw). The show really benefits from an outside influence, and creates an academic but anarchic tone – a slightly off the wall discussion over correct use of pronouns is a nice moment, a beauty queen's inability to mix her socialist views with her image is another. It's good writing, but the real creativity comes through the fluidity and physicality of the actors, using their bodies as extensions of the text. Clearly 'collective' is the word – the group are as tight-knit as your Granny's sweater. Always in the right place at the right time, speaking together, moving in such excellent unison, it simply makes everything so polished and such a delight to watch. I love a good lift, and there are some nice ones here, while a sequence involving walking backwards across some chairs is a favourite of mine. The actual choreography of some dance numbers was effective if not totally memorable, whilst one of the downsides to having such a slick piece is that when technical issues do raise their head, it's ten times more noticeable.
This is as much about commentary as it is movement though – putting people into boxes, dictating how they should act, what they should wear, talking over and under them. Image plays a big part, especially women being exploited by the media. "You've never had it so good" says the cast, as smart a line of dialogue you're likely to hear all year, as well as a cheering and terrifying prospect. But it's how we're told all this that provides This Really Is Too Much it's magic. Like Pictionary – the Collective lead the audience to the root of an idea, drip feeding them through visuals. It's when they put lipstick on, before kissing themselves all over. It's when they wear very little, trying to flog us mundane but appropriate items – including lettuce.
The show's standout image has Fullegar, clad in a bikini, sports socks and high heels, running round and round the stage, with no sign of stopping. It's funny because it's ridiculous, but dark because it looks flipping painful. A cyclical issue for sure, but one we see to become more and more hysterical, the more exhausted Fullegar gets. It's over-sexualisation (the bikini), and how we perceive glamour and strength to be contradictions (socks and shoes). It says so much, without uttering a line of dialogue – only the best theatre can do that
When your base level works then you're allowed to play – This Really Is Too Much is entertaining first, then intelligent and meaningful on top. Gracefool Collective have set a standard in visual storytelling, whilst being unapologetic in what they say. Looks like that path can take a bit more beating yet.
This Really Is Too Much played Blue Elephant Theatre until November 12.

A LOOK BACK: Fiddler's Green Park
Posted On April 27, 2017 April 26, 2017 By Springville Times
http://www.springvilletimes.com/27/a-look-back-fiddlers-green-park/#SU1HXzAwMDguanB
The First Baptist Church across from the public square or Fiddler's Green Park about 1860. The wooden fence protected the park from wandering livestock. The gates were wooden turnstiles.
By Derek M. Otto
Spring has sprung and there's a lot activity around the village. Buffalo Street is being repaved, the department of public works removed shrubs around the soldier's monument and the town released its concert in the park series from the upcoming year. So, it got me thinking about Fiddler's Green Park.
When Christopher Stone came to the area as the first settler in 1807, he settled on Buffalo Street. (A small cabin has been erected to remember his settlement there.) There was small natural green to the south of the settlement, and it was around this green that people erected their first homes.
This included David LeRoy, a renowned fiddler that played and taught the art of music to many early settlers from miles around. Because of this, another early settler, David Stickney, named the area Fiddler's Green, which was the first name for Springville.
When Stone left the area, he sold his property to Rufus Eaton in 1910. Eaton was 40 years old at the time and had settled other villages and communities in Connecticut and New York State before coming to Springville.
He knew what early villages needed. He donated land for the Springville Academy, cemetery, Congregationalist (Presbyterian) Church (the property is now St. Al's) and also gave the land that was the green to the community for a public square. Just like the towns that they came from in New England, Fiddler's Green was an active village square.
Many of the early businesses and churches surrounded the square. The Methodist Church built their first church on the northern boundary of the square in 1825, the newly-formed first Baptist built their church to the west of the Methodists in 1827 at the corner of Church and Buffalo Streets, and eventually the Presbyterians and Universalists would build their churches near the square in the 1840s. It was the center of Springville life.
The current boundary of the park was set when Chapel Street was cut in 1843. In the 1850s, the trustees erected a fence and gate around the park to protect it from roaming livestock in the village. The gates were wooded turnstiles.
During the Civil War in the 1860s, the park was home to Union encampments as they recruited and prepared to fight.
In the 1880s, the 50th anniversary of the Springville Academy and Griffith Institute was held in the park. Several hundred people feted on tables set up in the park. At the time, it was still the only outdoor public gathering place.
So when in 1891, the G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) and a committee of village residents erected a monument remembering Springville's fallen in the Civil War, it was logical to put it in the center of the public square.
David Ingalls, a local bachelor, gave land to the committee headed by HL Hawley and JP Myers. They sold the land and raised enough money to erect the monument. Looking at the monument, you wonder who sacrificed more, David Ingalls or the soldiers by the size of the names on the monument.
In 1988, the Concord Historical Society had discovered several names that were not on the monument. Those names were added to monument and it was rededicated. Almost every village, town and city in New York had a Union Square or soldier's monument in the 1890s. Interestingly, Springville is one of the few communities that still has a monument and park still intact.
In 1903, a Civil War cannon was added and the park took on its last piece to its contemporary look when a bandstand was added in 1911 (though the bandstand has been replaced a few times). The current bandstand looks most similar to the original one.
In more recent years, the park has shrunk a bit. Parking spots and the expansion of Chapel Street's width on the north have cut the size of the lawn down.
As you enjoy the nicer weather, don't forget to stroll through Fiddler's Green Park and think of the activity of frontiersmen, soldiers and the unique history of our village square.

Richard Spaven - José James - Pino Palladino
Live at the iTunes Festival 2012
Meinl Drum Festival 2015
Richard Spaven is one of the most unique artists in the world. Triple threat drummer, composer, and producer, his voice rings true with clarity and promise.
"He is the point where jazz meets the world" - José James.
"Mr.Spaven does it again, much more than just rhythm with this man" - Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio).
Richard Spaven has supplied the drums for many artists on stage and in the studio: Jose James, Flying Lotus, The Cinematic Orchestra, Guru's Jazzmatazz, Gregory Porter to name but a few.
Working closely with such a diverse range of artists must bare influence upon Spaven's own compositions, in which some how the drums bridge the gap between the worlds of jazz and electronic music.
Spaven's debut release '5ive's EP' (Jazz Refreshed) in 2010 quietly turned heads.
Most recently it featured on best-selling video game 'Grand Theft Auto V'.
With a guest appearance by Jose James on the hypnotic 'Maz', the record was seen by some as a jazz record but was also played out loud by many club DJ's.

Q: Best practices for implementing a multi-level Option Menu on Android? I'm currently working on a port of an iPhone app into an Android. The iPhone app has a custom global navigation menu at the bottom of the screen, and when bringing this over to Android, it was suggested to replace this custom menu with the generic Option Menu (invoked via the option key on the device) to give it a more native Android look and feel.
The issue is that the menu itself has several layers (e.g. Three main option like A, B, C, and sub-options like A1, A2, A3). I've looked around but have not seen this sort of multi-level option menu on Android apps, so am looking for some guidelines on how this may be best achieved.
I've seen some questions on customizing the Option Menu such as this one; Android: customize application's menu (e.g background color); and they seem to suggest that the native framework doesn't support many options.
Should I be looking at a bit of hacking into the option menu (is this a good idea?), or looking at some other approach to modifying the app flow? Trying to understand what would be the best way to maintain a consistent user experience on Android, while reducing the level of variation from the iPhone app.
Thanks!

A:
I've looked around but have not seen this sort of multi-level option menu on Android apps, so am looking for some guidelines on how this may be best achieved.

Options menus support sub-menus, but only one level deep (i.e., the menu can have a sub-menu, but a sub-menu cannot have a sub-sub-menu).

A: If you really need that (and want to violate the Android platform standards regarding menu depth), then you can easily implement this by using an AlertDialog with lists for every nested level of your menu. Visually those appear exactly the same like an options menu.

A: I've done something similar to what banana suggested. I would just add the reasoning behind the limitation is the myriad number or devices and screen resolutions that need to be supported. Multiple nested menus might look good on a tablet but not on a 5 inch screen so we need to keep that in mind.

A: For me, adding
android:onClick="onOptionsItemSelected"

to nested menu items worked.

Engineering Excellence: ACEC Honor Award for CRST Center
Contact Craig German, PE
Inspiring Structural Design
On May 10, 2017, Craig German, PE, Lead Structural Engineer for Shuck-Britson, accepted an ACEC Honor Award for Engineering Excellence on the CRST Center in the Buildings & Systems Category.
"It was an honor to receive this award on behalf of the owners and project team," shares German. "We'd like to thank CRST and the City of Cedar Rapids for the opportunity to work on this iconic structure and the important piece of the Cedar River Flood Control System that it features. We would also like to thank Ryan Companies and OPN Architects for the opportunity to team with them to make the CRST building possible."
Shuck-Britson, a subsidiary of Snyder & Associates, served as the structural engineering consultant and the Structural Engineer of Record for the project.
Revitalizing Cedar Rapids & Mitigating Flood Impacts
Located on one city block along the east bank of the Cedar River, the CRST Center is a welcome and iconic addition to the Cedar Rapids skyline.
"CRST made a statement with this building," states German. "After flooding damaged downtown Cedar Rapids buildings in 2008, many buildings had to be vacated. This project not only helps to revitalize downtown Cedar Rapids but also to mitigate flooding by putting essential pieces of the Cedar River Flood Control System in place."
The Shuck-Britson structural team utilized Revit software for building information modeling (BIM) to create intelligent models that helped guide the project.
The floodwall, pump station, and gatewell are significant portions of the building located below grade and hidden from view. Currently, the pump station is empty and pump design is underway. Upon completion, rainwater that falls behind the wall within a particular area of the city will be carried to the riverside of the building via the pump station. Because the floodwall is just one, 300-foot piece of a much larger system that will take years to complete, the building is designed to mitigate and withstand the impact of potential floods that could occur before the system's completion.
Access ports on all levels of the parking garage provide access to the pump station that's beneath the garage. Removable floor sections will allow equipment to be loaded into the pump station once it becomes available.
Coordination Drove Project Success
Reflecting upon his experience on the CRST Building project team, German notes three key challenges:
Site/Foundations – A deep foundation system was essential to support the structure's loads. After weighing the pros and cons of all options available, driven steel pile was identified as the correct solution. Many foundations from previous buildings existed on the site. Additionally, significant existing infrastructure was located adjacent to the property and onsite. To keep the fast-tracked project on schedule and within budget, removals were made, and protection was provided where appropriate.
Signature Features – The CRST Center has many signature features including a cantilevered 4th floor and mechanical penthouse roof. Bringing these architectural features from vision to reality was a fun and interesting challenge for our structural design team.
Coordination – With multiple stakeholders and a large team working on a fast-tracked project, a great deal of coordination and expertise early on and throughout the project were essential.
"It took dedicated team members on all portions of this project to make it a success," says German.

9 Modern Black Archetypes in Cinema Today
By Chris Murray
December 11, 2019December 12, 2019
lack archetypes in film have existed since the beginning of cinema. And most have not been all that positive as we have generally not been in control of our image. Many of us are aware of the negative Sambo, Mammy, Mandingo and Ghetto Thug archetypes just to name a few. But in years past many black filmmakers from Oscar Micheaux to Spike Lee have fought to take back control of our image and show a more diverse portrayal of blacks. And in this process, traditional archetypes have evolved and new ones created. Following is a list of 9 modern black archetypes in films today that give us a refreshing look at how we like to see ourselves. This is due in part to many young pioneering blacks fighting to become filmmakers themselves.
The Performer archetype is a traditional one in cinema as blacks are known for our amazing showmanship. Dating back to the transatlantic slave trade and ceremonial tribal dances, it's one of the many things blacks know how to do very well. This is evident in how we've influenced so many other cultures with song and dance, from blues, jazz, rock-n-roll and hip hop. You name it, we've done it and entertained the world over. Sometimes at our own expense.
Similar to the performer is that of the Athlete. This is another difficult one to overlook as there are many examples throughout history of blacks overcoming the odds and dominating in a physical skill once thought to be coveted by whites. Examples include Pele, Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, Tiger Woods, the Williams sisters and the list goes on and on. The reason why this archetype is so easy to portray on screen is because it plays so well in real life. Regardless, it still makes for terrific storytelling as we love to see the underdog triumph.
The Child Prodigy archetype is when you portray a young person on screen who possess something special about themselves. This image of our black youth is nice to see as it has the potential of connecting with the youth and inspiring them. And this is something we need to see more of in our communities. My favorite by far is the character Hushpuppy from the film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" played by the incredible Quvenzhané Wallis who is a child prodigy in her own right by being the youngest ever to be nominated for an Academy Award.
It's a proud thing to be able to say that we have black superheroes now on the screen. We first began seeing the Superhero archetype in the 90's with films like "Spawn" and "Blade." I'm personally not into superhero films myself as they've become formulaic and setup to only churn out another sequel. But they do make a ton of money which means they're not going anywhere anytime soon. So If they're going to keep making them then they might as well sprinkle a few black superhero storylines in as well.
One of my favorite black archetypes in cinema is that of the Artist as it is what I relate to the most. This became popular in the 90's with my favorite film "Love Jones." The characters were cultured in poetry, photography, history and made being black cool. After this film, copycats followed and many blacks picked up new mediums to express themselves the way Darius and Nina did in the film. Even I tried my hand at photography after watching it.
Playing closer to actual history is the archetype of the black Cowboy. Cowboys have been immortalized in cinema as gun slinging, drifter type figures. However, if you study history almost 2/3 of cowboys were either Black, Hispanic, or Native American in the early twentieth century. But because movies have portrayed this image wrong, many probably wouldn't even believe it if they saw a real black cowboy who still exist today. But it's an archetype we are starting to see on screen now and are loving it.
The Classic Man archetype. This is the image and portrayal I think all blacks have desired to see on screen for a long time, and we need more of it. The symbol of power, success, class, and coolness all while draped in tailored suits and dapperness. This image inspires black men and young males who lack responsibility and have identity issues. No surprise this archetype has become more popular after the presidency of the most powerful man in the free world, Barack Obama.
Portraying the LGBT community on screen has become very trendy in the past fifteen years. But a black archetype that we're seeing more of is that of the Stud. A stud is known to be a very dominant lesbian. And with films and shows like "Pariah", "Orange is the New Black" and "The Wire", we're learning this subculture has its own community and rules. I became aware of this archetype after seeing Snoop played by Felicia Pearson on "The Wire". After seeing her rough exterior, many questioned if she was even female. Regardless, it's an image that will be here to stay as this subculture grows in the black community.
And finally there is the archetype of the Nerd. With Comicons popping up everywhere and technology dominating our lives, nerds have taking the reigns and become the forefront of our culture. I began seeing a shift in the black community with celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Donald Glover who make it cool to be eccentric and a little geeky. And now similar black archetypes are making their way onto screen as well.
So let us know your thoughts. Do you have some film archetypes of your own that you've notice? Let us know.

May 9, 2013 • Matthew Burnett wanted his clothing line to be "Made in the USA." But he decided it was too difficult to find information on U.S. manufacturers. So Burnett and his business partners created Maker's Row, a website where people who design things can find people who make things.


The cream case, flat upright format, rounded corners, and "screen"-like black tuning display all recall Jonathan Ive's now legendary design for the iPod. The Internet radio even has white earphones! I'm not accusing Ive of copying it of course, but the resemblance is striking and I wonder if these mid-century portable transistor radios (which often look alike) were an influence on his design.
"Nine-volt batteries back then were like three for a dollar instead of $3 apiece," I muttered to myself this week as I replaced the unit in my ancient Radio Shack Weatheradio.
So now the volts are three for a dollar.

Tonight is the first "real" lesson of the year. Over the first part of the year we'll be covering The Ten Commandments. Our first lesson is a brief overview of the idea of finding freedom in following God's Law.
We started off by playing a dice game in our small groups, the kicker however was that I did not provide any rules whatsoever. So the kids were left to their own devices. Just when it seemed like they were figuring out how their games would work I would walk in and change the rules. This activity allowed us to explore the importance of having rules to govern our actions. We were able to see how we, as humans, tend to act in our own self interests regardless of our effect on others in the absence of rules.
Today we're going to be talking all about rules, specifically God's rules aka the 10 Commandments, and why we even have them. As we saw in the last exercise when there are no rules, on the whole, people act out of their own self interest. And when we are acting in our own self interest, we usually fail to see how it can affect others. It's really easy to see this in a game setting because we all want to "win" and sometimes we're even willing to change what it means to win so that we can get into the winner's circle. But in order to better understand how this might play out in the real world I'm going to tell you a story about a girl named Halli.
Halli had gone through elementary school in a small school where everyone kind of got along. There weren't many cliques. There were a few kids with learning disabilities, but they were accepted and no one really seemed like an outsider. When her parents announced that the family would be moving to a larger city just as she was entering Jr. High, Halli was determined to fit in at her new school. So she got her hands on a yearbook from the new school. She figured out what kind of clothes the popular girls wore. She even studied the way the cheerleaders styled their hair and got it cut that way. By the end of the summer she was actually looking forward to going to what she now thought of as a "real" school.
Question: What sort of social rules do you think Halli was expecting when she got to her new school?
Halli thought she was prepared, but she had no idea what she was in for. There was a definite pecking order in her new school and everyone seemed to know exactly where everyone else seemed to fit in. There were the popular kids at the top of the ladder – the football players and the cheerleaders and their friends. Then there were the middle rung kids – not popular, but not picked on either. Then at the bottom of the ladder, were the total outcasts. They were called "scums." Halli definitely didn't want to be a scum.
Even for Halli who was new to the school, it was pretty obvious that one person was at the very bottom of this social ladder. His name was Eric Spangler. He was a pale, skinny redhead with a big nose and nerdy glasses. He was really smart – He got all A's- and was super nice, but everyone picked on him. Halli thought it was probably because of his clothes, his family was poor and couldn't afford cool clothes for any of their kids. So, Eric and his siblings always wore weird, outdated stuff from thrift stores.
Eric was also allergic to perfume, so one of the jocks would spray some on him almost everyday. He would have to go take a shower and spend the rest of the day wearing gym shorts, with his skinny blue legs sticking out like a bird's. Eric was so unpopular that his name became an insult. Instead of calling someone a "scum", they would call you a "Spangler".
Question: Where do you think you would be in the social ladder of this school?
Halli's new clothes and hairstyle didn't make her the instant friends she had hoped. The popular kids seemed to know that she didn't belong despite her clever costume. So, Halli decided to join the Christian club at her school so she wouldn't end up like Eric. The leader of the Christian group was Cindy and she warned me from the start that if i didn't hide my cross necklace people might call me a Jesus Geek. The kids in the club were somewhere on the middle rungs of the social ladder. Halli didn't have much in common with them, but it was nice not to have to eat lunch by herself. Eric always sat by himself.
It was at this point that Halli started noticing a punk-rock girl around the school. She was the only girl in the school who looked and dressed the way she did. Her hair was a different bright color almost every week. Her clothes were mostly black, but sometimes they'd have a pop of color to match her hair. She was pretty quiet and kept to herself. At lunch Halli would see her reading in the library or walking by herself across the gym. She wasn't popular, but she wasn't scum either. She had this look in her eyes that seemed to keep her from getting picked on. So Halli asked the kids in the Christian club who she was.
"What do you mean?" Halli asked.
Halli didn't say anything, but she was starting to feel a little uncomfortable with the other kids in the club. The always seemed to be putting other people down.
Halli past Lauren in the halls a couple of times. She had a very calm and confident way of walking and looking at people. Halli wondered what made her able to do that. It didn't look like she had any more friends than Eric, so it didn't make much sense.
One day a couple of cheerleaders poured an entire bottle of perfume on Eric. He screamed and tore at his clothes. "It's not funny! I can't breathe!" he screamed gasping for air.
Everyone stood in a circle and laughed at him. Halli felt a knot in her stomach. She wanted to stop them, but her feet were frozen to the floor. Then she saw Lauren pushing her way through the cheerleaders. She shouted, "What are you doing? Can't you see he's really sick?" and lead him to the nurse's office.
Question: What do you think was stopping Halli from helping Eric?
After Eric went to the hospital the popular kids stopped dumping perfume on him, but they still found other ways to torment him. One day, when Halli was heading to lunch she saw a group of guys literally stuffing Eric into a garbage can. Then out of the corner of her eye, Halli saw a blur of black and bright green running towards the group of guys. It was Lauren to the rescue again. Before Lauren could get there, Halli felt a surge of courage.
The boys were startled and let Eric go. He climbed out of the can and ran away. Lauren finally reached the boys and Halli, completely out of breath. "Why do you do that?" she asked the boys , her clear, confident eyes drilled into the them.
"Well think about it." Lauren said.
Without discussing it, Lauren and Halli walked away together, leaving the stunned guys behind them. "So, do you want to eat lunch?" Lauren asked.
"What makes you think I'm not?" Lauren laughed.
Lauren and Halli may not have realized it, but they were following God's rules. The rules God sets before us in The 10 commandments are really a call for us to stop being selfish like Halli. In the story she was rooted in place when the popular kids were hurting Eric. Maybe it was because she was afraid of losing what status she had gained in her new school by reaching out to Eric. It turns out that she had become a slave to the idea of being popular.
A lot of times when we think of rules we think of them as restricting us and maybe even keeping us from being what we want to be. And sometimes that's true, but not with God's rules. Lauren knew what it meant to follow God's rules. It means you are free. Free of any of the need to gain power, wealth, or popularity and free to reach out to the people in need. God calls us to be selfless rather than selfish.
Question: How do you think rules could help us to act selflessly?
We can be sure that God's rules are there to help free us because they come from a time when God selflessly freed the Hebrew slaves from Egypt. After many many generations in slavery God frees his people from a life where they've been told exactly what to do each and every day. This means that they may not have had any idea about how to live together and look out for anyone other than themselves, because selfishness is what was required to survive in Egypt.
Even though the list of commandments may feel like a list of "Don't"s, this is simply not the case. Because this list really isn't about what happens when you break the rules, It's about what happens when you follow them. This is easy to see when we look at the punishment and reward section of The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:5-6). The punishment for not obeying only lasts 3-4 generations, but when we are faithful the rewards last for 1000! God's grace is much greater than any punishment and that is Good News for us.
This week, I've asked your children to look through the Ten Commandments as a whole. God tried to give the Hebrew people a set of rules so that they could focus on becoming the best version of themselves rather than worrying about how they should act. So, I have tasked them with creating their own version of "Commandments for Surviving Jr. High".
Your student's challenge for this week at home is to share what they've come up with during small group with their parents, and to ask for their parent's input. What would they change about the list? What do they like about it? Then at the beginning of large group next week we'll get to share what you found with your small group!

Lakeview School Council is made up of parents who are interested in getting involved at Lakeview and helping enrich the lives of students through special events, extra-curricular activities, the support of school and Board initiatives, and funding for school sports and academic programs. School Council is also responsible for providing a forum for parents to share their opinions and make recommendations known to the school administration.
The School Council meets on the first Tuesday of each month of the school year at 6:45 pm in the Lakeview School library. Meetings are open to all Lakeview parents.
September 18, 2018 | October 2, 2018 | November 6, 2018 | December 4, 2018 | January 8, 2019 | February 5, 2019 | March 5, 2019 | April 2, 2019 | May 7, 2019 | June 4, 2019 Read council minutes.
The Chair of the School Council acts as the official spokesperson of the School Council. He or she may attend the Trustee's Inter-school meetings and communicates with the Principal on a regular basis. He or she chairs the monthly meetings, and prepares the agenda for each meeting in advance. The Chair updates the Principal Profile on an annual basis, writes the annual report at the end of the year, and ensures that all other Council documents are kept up to date. The Chair may participate in regular communication with the chairs of the various sub-committees of council. The Chair may be a signing officer for Council.
The Secretary of the Council is responsible for maintaining a full and accurate accounting of all School Council meetings through the taking of minutes. In conjunction with the Chair, he or she ensures the adequate notice of meetings and sets the meeting schedule for the school year. After each meeting, the Secretary distributes the minutes to all council members by email, to solicit feedback and edits.
The Treasurer ensures safekeeping of the School Council finances in accordance with the policies and procedures of the OCDSB and provides accounting thereof, as required, to the Board and the Council. The role of the Treasurer is to set up and maintain a detailed record of all income and expenses along with accompanying receipts ad invoices; to check the accuracy and consistency of monthly bank statements; and to report monthly to School Council on fundraising and other revenues and expenditures. The Treasurer deposits all incoming cheques and signs all outgoing cheques. The Treasurer is a signing officer for the Council.
The fundraising coordinator coordinates fundraising campaign activities, researches possible fundraisers, proposes schedules for campaigns throughout the school year, and reserves or confirms participation with the chosen fundraising companies. The coordinator also provides general support and information to the individual campaign organizers and volunteers to run the various campaigns. Tracking information such as percent participation, net proceeds versus volunteer time, and ease of running the campaign help Council to decide on whether to run the campaign again.
The Hot Lunches Coordinator updates the hot lunch program flyers, inputs and manages the online ordering system, and manages any issues/changes to the online orders.
The Pizza Day Coordinator interfaces with the pizza company to make sure the program runs smoothly and coordinates with the Hot Lunches Coordinator regarding order information. The coordinator organizes parent volunteers to be on site for the pizza delivery and to distribute the pizza to students.
The OCASC representatives represent School Council at OCASC meetings and raise issues on behalf of the School Council. They then report to School Council at each council meeting and keep School Council members up to date on pertinent issues. The OCASC meetings often feature a guest speaker who talks about issues affecting all schools in the Ottawa area, and allows the representatives from Lakeview to meet and interface with other schools in the area.
Parent Representatives commit to attending at least 50% of School Council meetings to provide input on how council funds should be distributed. They have a vote in determining how the council should spend its budget. Parent Representatives also often step in to volunteer and help plan various special events during the year.
The council also has two voting positions for staff members, one for a teacher, and one for a non-teaching staff member. The principal also attends School Council meetings but is a non-voting member of council.
The Community Representatives represent the Lakeview community's perspective and help build partnerships and links between the school and the community. They contribute to school and school council discussions, participate on council committees, and encourage parents/guardians and community members to participate in events and programs.

Kim Kardashian Passes the Bar Exam—And Flexes a Look, Of Course
By Christian Allaire

Kim Kardashian is almost ready to take over the courtroom. Today, the reality star-turned-entrepreneur became one step closer to adding another title to her roster—lawyer—after she announced she's officially passed one of her two bar exams. "Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection," Kardashian wrote on Instagram. "For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me. I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try [with] a 104 fever, but I'm not making excuses.)"
Kardashian announced in 2019 that she was pursuing a path to becoming a lawyer. She adds that she still has another bar exam to pass, so she's not a lawyer yet, but her first exam has the lower pass rate—meaning the most difficult hurdle has been crossed. "It feels so good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals," she wrote. In her post, she also nodded to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who was also famously an attorney. "I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now, but he would have been my best study partner," she says. "I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn't pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!"
This being Kim K, she also had to flex a major look to announce the news, of course. Kardashian continued her recent winning streak of Balenciaga looks by posting a new ensemble by the label, consisting of a purple spandex dress, matching sock boots, and blingy earrings. It's reminiscent of her viral black Met gala look, only more colorful—this is a happy, celebratory occasion, after all! Finally, she ended her post on an inspirational note. "Don't ever give up, even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it," wrote Kardashian. "Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!"

On the whole Mooks rule concept, I think if used in pulpy cinematic games that have a big narrative focus, then they are a really useful way of placing emphasis on certain NPCs.
In games with heavier simulation emphasis, I don't think they work well as stats need to be more objective - if an NPC is a pushover it is because they have weaker stats.
As such I don't think Mook rules work all that well in systems like Mythras, but I'm fine with them in games like Fate.
(PS: I try not to use GNS game design terms too much, but occasionally they can be useful as brief descriptors)
This is about where I fall. For some types of game, they work for creating a certain. For Two-Fisted pulp action, I find they tend to fit. There are some battles which aren't as 'serious' or are big set pieces meant for main characters to look cool and wisecrack while making their way through a crowd of 'lesser' opponents maybe with Lieutenant or two (tough Mooks or named characters, to use the jargon). Yes, it is sometimes driven by "story' or genre, but neither I nor my players have an issue with that. Making games that feel like the fiction we enjoy but with interactive and chance elements added Its not rolling dice for no reason for us. Its doing so because it adds fun to the game.
On a more practical level, "mooks" can serve a 'purpose. Battling them can cost time, resources, distract even soften up PCs or but their enemies time or provide some information about the characters abilities. As has been mentioned, minions aren't automatically loser and can pose a legitimate threat, particularly in associations with a Named Character. Some of the deaths in my Exalted game were dealt by some elite extras.

Not really, no. But it has a special charm for those who like so-bad-it's-good films. I like to consider it the unofficial prequel to Logan's Run
As a kid I somehow/somewhere saw the trailer for the movie and it haunted me for years... scenes of some woman running after a charismatic guy and getting caught up on a barbed wire fence before being dragged away screaming.
It wasn't till a long time later that I found out what it was... and that it's more of a satire than a serious drama, let alone the horror movie I'd taken it for.
It's not a 'great' movie, but it is an interesting reflection on its time... and a chance to see a young Richard Pryor... and apparently the main song from it was a solid hit on the charts of the day.

I was kinda thinking of along these lines
Reactions: Stevethulhu

The phrase "Don't trust anyone over 30" goes back to Jack Weinberg of Free Speech Movement at Berkeley in 1964. He was being interviewed by a newspaper with leading questions implying they were a front for the Commies. Weinberg replied that they didn't trust anyone over 30 in their group, trying to make the point that they weren't a front for anything. The newspaper clipped his larger point down to the quote, "We have a saying in the movement that you can't trust anybody over 30," leaving out the context of the question and making it the centerpiece of the article.
From there, the phrase caught fire in a SWORDREAMesque fashion, both among those who embraced it and those who saw it as an easy way to show that the youth movement was their inevitable enemy. My mother used to use it all the time, increasingly ironically as she got older. The phrase got additional weight as the Vietnam War draft went on, with the implication being that you can't trust anyone who isn't facing conscription. By 1968, it was popping up in movies as a hip reference.
Weinberg's take on the whole thing: "I've done some things in my life I think are very important, and my one sentence in history turns out to be something I said off the top of my head which became completely distorted and misunderstood. But I've become more accepting of fate as I get older. "

Too be fair, the games I run/play tend to be pulp, fantasy and/or superhero, which means mook/minion rules are more or less the standard. I can understand that in other games, like intrigue based thrillers, fantasy Vietnam, so on and so forth, they wouldn't fit.

I run games in similar styles, adding what I call the action movie idiom with things like Cyberpunk and Star Wars. Never felt the need to use mooks/minions myself.
That said, I'm a firm believer that some things don't get tougher, you just get more of them. Stormtroopers and zombies being the classics for this approach.
The way I see it, if a 'normal guy' can give a Superhero, a two fisted pulp adventurer or the kind of character that has words like 'thews' in their description any kind of a fight, they aren't normal.

Despite my dislike of 3.x, I really liked the Tome of Battle: Book of 9 Swords, or as it is known in some circles: The Book of Weeaboo Fightan Magic.
Was it a bit ridiculous and anime as hell? Yeah. Were some of the abilities really badly written? Absolutely (Looking at you Iron Heart Surge)
Was it overpowered? Nah, still didn't bring martials up to the level of full 3.x casters anyway, Was it fun? I found it fun.
Reactions: FeralToaster, Voros, Chris Brady and 1 other person
EmperorNorton said:
I tried to bring that into the last 3.5 game that I ever played in, but another player was so deeply offended at the existence of the book that I let it go.
I'd still play 3.5 if that and the Expanded Psionics Handbook were in play.
Reactions: Voros and Baulderstone

That was another good one. It's funny, as I generally dislike 3.5 for all the fiddly bits, but some of my favorite books are the ones that go all in with the fiddliness.
Reactions: FeralToaster, AsenRG, Voros and 2 others
The later stuff got really good.
Why where they "offended", if I might ask?
I don't really know exactly what upset him about it. We were all making characters, and I raised the possibility of using The Book of Nine Swords. The GM wasn't familiar with it, and someone else protested that it was all broken garbage. I could have argued my case, but the guy wasn't typically argumentative and I had two more character concepts in my head at the time, so I just shrugged and let him have that one.
The GM was also my girlfriend and had jitters because she hadn't run anything in a long time, so forcing her to have to make a contentious ruling between two players on a book she hadn't read only five minutes into the campaign didn't seem cool.
Reactions: The Butcher, AsenRG, Voros and 1 other person
I mean, did the options in the book pretty much invalidate the PHB fighter and monk from a game power standpoint.... well yeah. But it still didn't compare to CODZILLA, so I never understood why people freaked out about it.
I think Bo9S, Expanded Psionics, and Weapons of Legacy were like the 3 best 3.x books.
Sounds like a reasonable choice of action. No need to rock the boat when its a big deal.
Reactions: AsenRG and Baulderstone
I was once in a Feng Shui game with a player who made the mistake of giving a mook a name... which, of course, meant he got a sudden power boost.
In my case it was some random one-off character who had taken a mutant power drug and became a super strong tank. After she put down my own brick, she became convinced that he was going easy on her because she was a woman. He kept denying it (And at the time, we didn't even know it was a she, that was a retcon) and the rivalry took off from there.
Weapons ofLegacy was a good idea executed really badly. That's what I took home from it.

I really liked the finale of Game Of Thrones, but the internet seems to disagree with me!
Reactions: AsenRG, Voros, Tommy Brownell and 3 others
I'm not sure how to say this but I prefer campaigns that aren't "Sandbox". I don't prefer total railroads mind you just same with some focus and a set premise and structure though with some flexibility and ability for character changes to make differences. Games I've been that were described as "This is the world (X). You're a person living in it." haven't really caught my interest and often tended to go wrong in various ways.
Perhaps I just haven't encountered sandbox done well... But I do lean more towards the "Storygamer" side in some ways instead of Simulation side assuming that's the right jargon.
Reactions: AsenRG, TristramEvans and Tommy Brownell
I think that it's really easy to run a "bad" sandbox, where the players just feel lost and like they're groping around blindly looking for something to happen or something to do. I imagine this is a large part of what initially inspired RPG modules to move away from Sandbox conceits. A GM has to provide "hooks" for players - it's not about not having plots (all my NPCs have plots), it's about letting players choose how to react to those plots and what they want to involve themselves in. A Sandbox can have some structure, it just means the world reacts to the player characters and their choices, rather than the Players reacting to a GM's narrative.
Reactions: Brock Savage, Lundgren, Rich Harkrader and 2 others
I personally like sandboxes that still have a strong central antagonist/purpose. LIke Curse of Strahd for instance. You have Strahd and your players are trying to escape Barovia, but you get to run around doing things in whatever way you want to.

I'm satisfied with the events of the finale, but it seems so compressed compared to previous seasons.

Only thing I didn't like was when Sam stopped being a character and became a writers mouthpiece, talking a bunch of nonsense. Other than that it was a fine wrap-up.
