The Warriors of Shadow were an all-female cult that was an offshoot of the Taung civilization, also known as the Warriors of the Shadow. After the Taung species were driven off their homeworld of Notron by the Zhell, a number of female Taung formed a sisterhood and fled to the Unknown Regions to seek atonement through meditation and insight.[1] At one point during their history, the Warriors battled a rival cult, the Knell of Muspilli, above a moon in the Unknown Regions.[3] However, the Warriors of Shadow merged with the Knell and a third cult, the Kanzer Exiles, over the course of thousands of years on the twelve planets of the Nihil Retreat.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Warriors of Shadow were first mentioned in the 2010 reference guide The Unknown Regions,[1] and was later mentioned—and named as the Warriors of Shadow—in the Archaeology crewskill mission "Battle of Terror" in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.[3]

text: I am still processing the presentations by the speakers at this year's "Narratives of Courage" in Watchung, New Jersey, and "Living Lessons" in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. All speakers enjoyed so-called normal lives until a terrorist act, a natural disaster, a decision by a government, an accident, or illness interrupted, causing a personal tragedy. All presenters somehow managed to cope and move on with their lives in positive ways, whether they were survivors of the Holocaust, of genocide, 9-11, etc. One of the first to speak was a man who had lost his son in the Sandy Hook shooting. His were the only dry eyes in the audience of over 500students and adults. He is trying to turn this devastating event into something positive, by sensitizing the young people to be aware of isolates and loners and to reach out to them. Kindness was such a theme in both school days. I'm reminded of the author George Saunders graduation speech that was publicized in the "New York Times" on kindness. Compassion seems to have become something soft and less respected, he said, and yet it is one of our most powerful tools interpersonally and globally. A young woman who had lost her parents in a car accident as they were moving her home after freshman year because of a driver who was texting made a plea for attentive driving. Another young woman had irresponsibly sexted her ex-boyfriend a photo of herself naked, which he sent to all his contacts. The photo went viral, and the result was absolutely tragic. So some speeches were cautionary tales, but all were inspiring.

That is my little model, my daughter. She's been modeling for me since she was 3 months old. Yes, she had a lot of hair at 3 months! She is now 10. Time sure flies. Since we are talking about hair, I would like to mention that my daughter donated her hair, a few years ago, to Locks of Love. I gave her the choice of selling it, donating it, or just keeping it long. She made a generous choice and even donated one of her own dollars to the organization. She donated 12 inches of hair. It was her Christmas present to someone in need.

More Art.. Braids
This is another form of art that I like to do. It's almost like fiber arts, but not really. I love to do hair. You couldn't tell if you'd see me at work some days. I guess, some days I just don't care. I get up with just enough time to get up and get to work, so I don't have time to be worrying about how my hair looks. Sometimes I get home and see myself in the mirror and think, "I went out like this?" LOL. At least I'm not vain, right?

Spider-Man: Far From Home - 14 Stunning Shots From The Epic Mysterio Sequence
SPOILERS - Is this Marvel's best ever MCU sequence?
After the curtain fell on Spider-Man: Far From Home, you probably remembered two scenes more than any, simply because of their proximity to the ending and how big their impact will be for the future. Somewhat inevitably, the post-credits scenes took precedence in all of the immediate conversations around Jon Watts' sequel, but it's important to remember that it also included the best MCU sequence of all time.
When Mysterio reveals his truth and torments Peter Parker using his illusions, we get a mind-bending, head-f*cking sequence of imaginative beauty that surpasses even Doctor Strange for weirdness and sublime effects. It is honestly breath-taking, drawing in supernatural elements and great action and leaving such a mark that it's a real shame that Mysterio won't be back to do it all over again.
And now, thanks to Befores & Afters and effects team Framestore, we can have a closer look at some of the best parts of the sequence, including some pre-effects builds of the shots in the following gallery.
Behold, the most incredible MCU sequence so far...

When Jack Colback capped another rapier red-and- white counter-attack with the most composed of finishes to confirm Sunderland's utter superiority in this extraordinary St James' Park derby, Gus Poyet did not slide to his knees with his face contorted in delight.
Nor did he punch the air or roar in triumph.
Instead, he beckoned for the Sunderland bench to stay calm, returning his hands to his pockets as chaos broke out in front of him.
Like a heavyweight boxer who had just landed a knockout blow, Poyet saw no reason to take another swing at his opponents as they crashed to the ground.
Of all of trio of Black Cat triumphs which have so damaged Alan Pardew's Newcastle, this felt like the most significant.
The two others might have been more important – coming, as they did with Sunderland on their knees and desperate for points – but this was the first when the Black Cats were so dominant over regional rivals who had started to feel their superiority was written into North East football's DNA over the last decade.
Not any more. The days when we used to ponder the nature of the psychological hold Newcastle and in particular Shola Ameobi had over Sunderland are long gone, replaced – for the time being at least – with the memory of this dominant display.
There was no mitigation, no mealy-mouthed excuse about fatigue or not getting the rub of the green. A reinvigorated Sunderland played superbly, comprehensively won the crucial battle for midfield and fully merited a victory that was not given any kind of unfair gloss by the 3-0 scoreline.
For the football club Poyet has managed to transform in a little over four months, that is very significant indeed.
Not since the 5-1 defeat Steve Bruce suffered four years ago has there been a derby as one-sided as this one. Had you stood with Poyet in the cramped corridor of the Liberty Stadium after his team suffered a 4-0 reverse against a not-particularly decent Swansea side you might have wondered whether he had the raw material in his shell-shocked squad to achieve a single win, never mind vault such a significant red and white hurdle.
Yet Poyet seemed to believe, even when some of his players might have been having their doubts.
The players he picked up off the floor that day were magnificent at St James' Park, the clutch of lost boys he has rehabiitated making a major contribution to this valedictory victory.
Nineteen minutes were on the clock when Adam Johnson and Phil Bardsley exchanged passes to tee up the latter in the Newcastle penalty area.
The right-back has been superb since the recall many fans were utterly opposed to when Poyet brought him in from the cold, but on this day he was lauded from the stands in recognition of his contribution.
Bardsley was on the charge when Johnson, delightfully, flicked the ball into his path.
The out-of-sorts Vurnon Anita barged into the right-back, offering Phil Dowd the easiest call of the season – and Fabio Borini the chance to plunge the knife into black and white hearts once more.
Sunderland had already established supremacy by the time of the opening goal, Liam Bridcutt's convincing debut changing the dynamic of the Black Cats' midfield.
His tidy, efficient turn in front of the back four allowed Jack Colback and Ki Sung-Yeung the time and space to roam freely. Newcastle had barely had the chance to react when Sunderland hit a second.
Jozy Altidore's skilful back heel created space for Colback to drive into the penalty area, and when his shot looped off Steven Taylor's out-stretched boot it left Tim Krul in no-man's land and allowed Johnson the simplest of finishes.
The home side groped desperately for any kind of riposte, but key men let them down.
Hatem Ben Arfa had been exquisite in midweek but was dreadful on Saturday, ceding possession time and time again to Sunderland's hungrier midfielders.
Anita, so often a paragon of efficient, tidy distribution, went from cool playmaker to crude wrecker and had already fouled Bardsley once before his costly penalty tackle. Santon was shocking. Ameobi – goalless in the Premier League this season – ploughed a lone furrow up front and never looked like reprising his role as Sunderland's tormentor.
A header which flashed wide was one golden opportunity but a well-drilled Black Cats back four had the measure of him and was able to cope with Newcastle's mystifying tendency to go direct. Poyet, again, out-thought Pardew.
A third Sunderland goal could have arrived long before Colback's goal as Sunderland played the sort of neat, rapid and intelligent football which Newcastle had made their hallmark during their pre-Christmas surge into the top five.
Poyet's team have progressed since then but United are regressing and looked like a team which had their heart ripped out.

The Union youth academy teams kept busy the last weekend in November with a trip to Bradenton, Fla. for the annual Winter Showcase. After finishing up its U.S. Soccer Development Academy fall schedule against Continental FC DELCO in Conshohocken on Nov. 22, the U-16s took their second best record in USSDA play to Florida to face three of the better teams in their age bracket.
"It was a real challenge going down there this time of year," said Union U16s head coach Jeff Cook. "I'm not a coach who likes to make excuses but the heat was difficult to handle. And you saw the substitution rules impact the guys a little bit."
Still, there wasn't much need for an excuse. The U16s went 2-1-0 highlighted by a pair of 2-0 wins, including one over Seattle Sounders FC. Their lone loss came against San Jose Earthquakes, 2-1, which Cook thought could be used as a good teaching point.
"It was a hard fought loss," he said. "I thought, in some ways, we played better than the game we won against Seattle, but that's soccer sometimes. At the U16 level, they're still learning to play the game tactically. And we actually played with a man advantage for the last 10-15 minutes and I think we could have done better. But these are the kind of lessons you're trying to teach them in addition to the skills, the techniques of the game. It's learning those situations and how you play in them."
Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives for the club. Cook and his staff have been working hard on getting the team to create more chances and to be sound in the final third. Although the amount of goals wasn't earth-shattering, Cook was pleased with what he saw.
"Some of the quality we saw on the trip was really good," Cook said. "From an attacking point of view, we looked threatening all the time and probably should have scored a greater percentage of our chances, but we looked really solid. Some of our attacking play was creative and we've been strong defensively all year."
Coupled with two more wins in Florida, which do count toward the overall standings, the Union U16s are now 12-2-0 and in second place (out of 77) in the league. In particular, as Cook pointed out, it's been the team's defense that has made such great strides in the second year of the program.
After allowing two goals in three games in Florida, they've now allowed just eight goals in 14 games overall – a mark of 0.6 goals allowed per game which leads the league. It was also their eighth and ninth clean sheets of the season.
"We talk a lot about the culture of the team, and we're too young really to say we've established a culture – I think Jim Curtin has talked about this with the first-team," Cook said. "But you want to be able to create successful teams. Certainly defensively, and being sound, winning individual battles, pressing to win the ball back early and that last part I think is something the players have really embraced.
"We've talked to them about this idea of being creative and possession oriented, but if mistakes are made, you have to react immediately and try to win the ball back. And I think that, in particular, has limited other team's chances as much as anything. We've certainly had good play in our backline and with our goalkeepers, but I think it's that whole team mentality that if you lose the ball, it's on you to get it back."
Overall it was a successful trip that should bode well for the team heading into the spring season. After all, the team's furthest trip of the season was to New Hampshire prior to this past weekend. And with the second round of the Generation Adidas Cup just two months away in Orlando, Fla., it was a good bonding trip for the team.
"I thought the team's ability to handle challenges is really growing – players are maturing," Cook said. "And playing three games in four days is not easy, it's mentally draining. It's what we do and we love to have these opportunities, but it is challenging and I think their ability to handle the travel, and how they represented the club off the field versus last year, they're much more mature. I was really pleased with that."
Although the team is officially done with games that count in the standings, they will have one more friendly before they pack up for the winter, which Cook has stressed the importance of because of the depth of the squad. Their next competitive games will be Feb. 13-16 where they'll meet up with New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC and D.C. United in Orlando.

Drivel Starved Nation,
After spending almost six weeks in Dallas helping my son, and surviving the turkey holiday, I am relieved to be back in the shop.
It just occurred to me today that the last Bridge City tools made in the United States are the Universal Gages. It is also fitting that I am assembling and calibrating each and every one of them as I am enjoying the process for the most part. (I am really struggling with the arthritis in my right hand so things are not moving as fast as I would have hoped.) Here are some in-progress pics;
These bodies are milled from solid aluminum billet;
These dovetail arms allow the Universal Gage to serve as a height gage and a depth gage;
Once all the parts are attached to the body, I calibrate the depth gage to the bottom of the magnetic base, and I set the protractor arm to dead 90 degrees using a fixture that is accurate to 0.0002″. These assembled units will be carefully transported to the laser house for laser engraving.
I can do about 60 per day, so I forecast the remaining units will all be assembled/calibrated by mid-next week and delivered to the laser house. I hope to get them all shipped prior to the holidays, but no promises, I cannot control the laser time. (If any DSN member has a tip for mitigating the discomfort of arthritis in the hand, I am all ears… firstname.lastname@example.com).
We have 7 countersink orders that have yet to ship. For reasons that I don't understand, we ended up with a shortage of the small 82 degree countersinks. We have offered to substitute the larger 82 degree version and when we hear back from these seven customers, this job ticket will be closed. (We have a minimum run of 300 units to remake the seven units that would complete our orders–that is just not economically feasible. I apologize for this screw-up.)
Lastly, as soon as I get all the Universal Gages to laser, I will begin assembling the final prototype of the Pencil Precision. As of this writing, we are looking at March or April delivery. We'll see…
On behalf of the DSN, I am giving a shout out to DSN Member Rutager West who will under surgery this Friday to remove a tumor that is effecting his vision. We wish him the best. In addition, the DSN is also well-wishing Fred and Linda Hayden who are residents of Paradise, CA. I do not have an update of the condition of their home after the Camp Fire destroyed the city.
That's all for now folks.

Montessori Children Preschool Class Descriptions
Practical LifeThis area of the classroom has exercises that help the child learn how to care for himself and his environment. The different exercises would be: washing hands, polishing shoes, using dressing frames, sweeping, arranging flowers and washing and drying dishes. The child also learns how to act in every day social situations by using grace and courtesy exercises that give the child a sense of respect and belonging to their community.
SensorialA child is creating his intelligence through his experience in the environment. Through all his senses, the child explores his environment, gathering vague impressions. The Montessori Sensorial Materials aid the child by enabling him to make conscious classification, clarification and organization of these impressions. The materials develop the child's ability to distinguish qualities in objects. Each piece of material provides the opportunity for the child to be active with his hands.
MathTo aid the child's mathematical mind, we provide math as a part of the child's daily life experiences. The child helps set up snack for himself and his friends. We explain the number of pieces he can have and the amount of juice he should pour. Using the Montessori math materials, the child learns the quantity of a number, to the recognition of symbol, and then brings them together to fully understand the mathematical meaning of numbers.
LanguageTo help the child with his verbal expression, the teacher carries on natural conversations by telling him stories and encouraging him to speak distinctly. The child will be encouraged to tell his own stories of events that have happened to him. The language materials give the child the skills to begin writing and reading first phonetic sounds, then words.
Culture and GeographyGive children as many real, hands-on experiences as possible before introducing abstract concepts like naming and classification. With a concrete experience "in hand," Montessori children are inspired to learn everything about everything! In this area of the classroom children learn geography is the study of place and how humans have adapted to all of Earth's environments. Physical geography looks at the outward appearance of the environment. Cultural geography looks at what Maria Montessori called humankind's ability to "continue the work of creation." Through meeting the basic human needs for food, shelter; and clothing, groups of people developed language, tools, transportation, rituals and celebrations, religion, music, art, and crafts. By celebrating other traditions with food, music, and stories, children can begin to see the uniqueness of other cultures, yet come to understand how much we all have in common.
The work of classification and language are extended in the Cultural area. Materials are available to enable scientific exploration of biology, geography, history, and physical/earth science.
We have a "cosmic" approach which allows maps, flags, booklets, and models of land and water formation to be used by the children to explore the world's continents and oceans, and people and customs, leading to an appreciation of the human family with its rich variety.
ScienceGive children as many real, hands-on experiences as possible before introducing abstract concepts like naming and classification. With a concrete experience "in hand," Montessori children are inspired to learn everything about everything! Observing classroom plants and animals is a natural way to explore the world. Float-and-sink will whet their appetite for more hands-on physical science! With the right presentation, access to materials, and an opportunity for follow-up research, children will begin to comprehend the laws of physics and even the nature of the universe.
ArtMontessori Children's classroom has a dedicated art area. This lets kids know that art is important, and also gives them a chance to explore different kinds of art and different art media. The philosophy is treated the same with the art shelf like any other area of the classroom—children are free to choose the work throughout the day, working alone or in pairs.
Movement and Music: Integrated Into the Prepared EnvironmentThe arts are not treated as specialty subjects in Montessori. Instead, movement and music activities are viewed as integral forms of self-expression, and they complement and enhance the children's ongoing explorations, including the enrichment of vocabulary. The materials for movement and music are integrated into the prepared environment as part of the day-to-day activities of the children.

5:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join us this February, for our annual Mothering Retreat at Pelican House on the beautiful grounds of Trinity Center. The image of Life-Womb will guide our time together during this contemplative retreat. Through storytelling, contemplative practices, silence and painting, we will listen to our mothering journeys of bearing, holding, and birthing; celebrating the ways that we create womb-space for what is ours to birth in the world.
Making room for new life to flourish often brings growth pains. By tending to our personal Life-Womb with paint, inquiry and quiet intention, we open ourselves to hear the still, small voice. As part of our time together, you will be guided to create a visual expression of symbol and beauty which honors the ebb and flow of what is uniquely yours to bring to fruition. No painting experience required, only a willing spirit!
Our retreat leaders are Monica Citty Hix and Ally Markotich. Monica is a minister, musician, artist, retreat leader, and spiritual companion who currently serves as Pastoral Musician at First Friends Quaker Meeting in Greensboro, NC. She is the Founding Director of Inner Ground, Inc.
Ally is from Pinehurst, NC. She is a writer, artist and trained Intentional Creativity Teacher who shares her spiritual journey on her blog, Soul Kindling. Ally and Monica met during their years at Columbia Theological Seminary where they both earned the Certificate in Spiritual Formation.
The weekend together includes all your meals (the food is fabulous!) and your choice of a private or shared room in the beachfront house. Art supplies are provided for the creative expression piece of the retreat. Registration fees are $300 for a private room and $250 for a shared room. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable. This retreat is open to all women, whether or not you have birthed and nurtured children. We believe that as women we are all called to the sacred art of mothering and birthing.
Venue: Pelican House at Trinity Center
Venue Website: http://www.trinityctr.com/Address:
Pelican House is a beachfront property with 6 private bedrooms and 2 double occupancy bedrooms. Cost is $300 for a private room, and $250 per person for a shared room.

"I grew up in the field. When I was a kid, me and my brothers would stealthily pick up some yak down fiber when the calves were lashed on the rope, waiting their moms to be milked. If Mom saw us doing it, she would scold us badly. But my grandmom was always on our side- she would secretly slip more yak wool to us so we can take it to town to sell or exchange for some apples or snacks before heading back to school. At that young age, I did wonder what could be made from these fibers?
After I grew up, I've always wanted to be a school teacher, I love kids. I've never thought that I would become the manager of the workshop. When the aunties have been working repeatedly and had sore backs and arms, I would bring a football to the workshop so they can exercise. They are also very easy to get tired and might even fall into asleep during work, then sometimes I would tell them a joke, or simply shout next to them so hard that scare the hell out of them. When that happen, they would say to me: thank you, thank you!"

Recipe Cooked, Photographed and Written by Praveena
PrepTime:10 mins CookTime:10 mins Cuisine:Indian
Fresh Coconut Chutney Powder / Spice powder, is the next one in the queue, to join my Powder / Podi recipes collection. 🙂
As I told you earlier, every South Indian menu, be it breakfast or any meal, some podi / spice powder is a definite condiment. The Menthaku / Methi Leaves Chutney Powder that I made last month has vanished so quickly. Being a new podi recipe, we all loved it, especially my husband. 🙂
I had a halved fresh coconut lying in the fridge. Using one half of it, I made this spice powder, by adding few other basic ingredients to make this exotic powder that lasts fresh up to months together when stored rightly.
Why don't you see how easy it is to make, how tasty it is and how to use it??….come on, read through….. 🙂
Before starting to cook, don't forget to see the Tips mentioned at the end.

Step wise pics Procedure for Fresh coconut chutney powder:
- Get all the ingredients at one place.
- Put a frying pan on stove top under medium flame.
- Firstly, add the fresh coconut / pacchi kobbari pieces into the pan, dry roast them until they turn light brown in colour. And there is no wetness in any piece.
- Take the coconut pieces into a separate plate.
- Now, add the dry red chillies into the pan, roast them by stirring continuously, until they turn light brown in colour and you get a pleasant aroma.
- Take the roasted red chillies off the pan.
- Next, add all the chana dal, urad dal, jeera / cumin, dhaniya / coriander seeds, garlic pods (optional) to the pan and dry roast.
- Switch the flame off and let everything cool down.
- Transfer all the roasted ingredients into a spice blender.
- Add salt, turmeric powder as well and grind everything coarsely.
- Store the powder in an air-tight container. Done!!
- Keep stirring continuously while dry roasting the ingredients. No multi-tasking please!
- Adjust the salt and spice as per your taste.
- Let the roasted ingredients cool completely and only then grind/blend. If not, the powder would be wet and would not have long shelf life.
- Always use a clean & dry spoon for serving.
- For longer shelf life, store it in an air-tight container at a cool dry place.
- It stays fresh up to 1-2 months. But can still be used up to 6 months.
- This, Fresh coconut chutney powder, serves as an excellent condiment with Indian breakfast recipes, like idli, dosa, uthappam, etc.
- And mainly, its used as a curry powder for spicing up any curry / stew / stir fry.
- We had this, Fresh coconut chutney powder, as a side with steamed plain rice topped with fresh homemade ghee / clarified butter. OMG! The taste so appeasing…give a try! 🙂

You now understand a little bit more about provisional billing rates from our first of this two-part series. In this second part of our coverage of provisional billing rates, we delve a little deeper into the purpose behind provisional billing rates as well as how to prepare them and the differences between provisional billing rates and proposal bid rates. Knowing these details will enable you to prepare an accurate DCAA submission.
Topics: Cost-Type Contracts, DCAA Audit Support, Accounting & Billing System
For our 12/31 year-end contractors, this is a busy time of year. Year-end books are ending and 2019 budgets are being formed. This is also the time of year for submitting provisional billing rates or PBRs for contractors that have cost reimbursable type contracts such as cost-type and time and material contracts.
Topics: Cost-Type Contracts, DCAA Audit Support, Accounting & Billing System
Key Performance Indicators are "Measures that help decision makers define and measure progress toward business goals. KPI metrics translate complex measures into a simple indicator that allows decision makers to assess the current situation and act quickly." – KAIZEN Analytics All businesses, regardless of size, should to be able to understand and identify their Key Performance Indicators. KPIs can be used at all levels of an organization, ranging from the CEO to the project manager. The CEO focuses on the overall performance or health of the company, while the program or project manager may focus on single programs, tasks within a program, or a group of programs.
Topics: Small Business Compliance, Contracts Administration, Cost-Type Contracts
Although many of us think of contract disputes as those involving a prime contractor and a U.S. Government agency, subcontracts can also trigger differences of subcontract interpretation between the prime and subcontractor. In Civil Action No. 1:16-cv-215, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia decided a diversity breach of contract case between government contractors (the contractor and subcontractor names are a matter of public record, thus disclosure). Fluor (the subcontractor) contended that they did not agree to a 2.3% cap to their G&A on a proposal effort with the United States Air Force. Their proposal, as a subcontract to their prime contractor, PAE, was ultimately selected for the award, at which time, a subcontract agreement was executed and the two parties began their respective performance on the contract. The specific language of that subcontract agreement is the heart of this case (differentiated from a dispute over the regulatory language contained in a subcontract flow-down).
Topics: Small Business Compliance, Contracts Administration, Cost-Type Contracts
DPAP (Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy) recently issued a class deviation—Prohibition on the Use of Cost-Type Contracts for Production of Major Defense Acquisition Programs. The "prohibition" actually provides for exceptions including certifications (provided to congressional defense committees) of the need which justifies a cost-type contract and steps to limit cost type pricing to portions of the contract which require this contract type. The class deviation, by reference to a DOD Instruction, defines certain key terms including a major defense acquisition.

Keeping Students Safe on the Bus
Keep our students safe by reviewing our bus safety procedures.
School Zone for Loading & Unloading
The Danger Zone is the area on all sides of the bus where children are in the most danger of being hit. Children should stay at least ten feet away from the bus (or as far away as they can) and never go behind it. They should take five (5) giant steps in front of the bus before crossing, so they can be seen by the driver.
School Buses Are the Safest Way to Get To School
School buses are nearly 8 times safer than passenger vehicles. However, children must take care when boarding or leaving the bus. While an average of 7 school-age passengers are killed in school bus crashes each year, 19 are killed getting on and off the bus. Most of those killed are children, five to seven years old. They are hit in the danger zone around the bus (A), either by a passing vehicle or by the school bus itself. It is illegal for a vehicle to pass a bus with its red light flashing.
Young children are most likely to be hit because they:
- hurry to get on or off the bus,
- act before they think and have little experience with traffic,
- assume motorists will see them and will wait for them to cross,
- don't always stay within the bus driver's sight, or
- drop something as they get off the bus and run into the path of the bus to pick it up.
Teach Your Child To Get On And Off The Bus Safely:
- When getting on the bus, stay away from the danger zone and wait for the driver's signal. Board the bus one at a time.
- When getting off the bus, look before stepping off the bus to be sure no cars are passing on the shoulder (side of the road). Move away from the bus.
- Before crossing the street, take five "giant steps" out from the front of the bus, or until the driver's face can be seen (A). Wait for the driver to signal that it is safe to cross.
- Look left-right-left when coming to the edge of the bus to make sure traffic is stopped. Keep watching traffic when crossing.
Safety Steps You Can Take:
- Supervise children to make sure they get to the stop on time, wait far away from the road, and avoid rough play.
- Teach your child to ask the driver for help if he/she drops something near the bus. If a child bends down to pick up something, the driver cannot see him/her and the child may be hit by the bus. Have your child use a backpack or book bag to keep loose items together.
- Make sure clothing and backpacks have no loose drawstrings or long straps, to be caught in the handrail or bus door.
- Encourage safe school bus loading and unloading.
- If you think a bus stop is in a dangerous place, talk with your school office or transportation director about changing the location.
Learn And Follow School Bus Laws:
Laws exist to protect children getting on and off the bus AND protect you from a tragedy. Check with your school or police department for more information on your state's laws. Here are some rules:
- Vehicles must stop when the bus displays flashing red warning lights and extends the stop signal arm (B). Vehicles may not pass until the flashing red lights and signals are turned off.
- Vehicles traveling in the same direction as the bus are always required to stop. In some states, vehicles moving in the opposite direction on a divided roadway are also required to stop. Check the law in your state.
- Never pass on the right side of the bus, where children enter or exit. This is illegal and can have tragic results.
Violation of these laws can result in a citation and fine. In many places, school bus drivers can report passing vehicles.
For more information, contact the DOT Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Episode 10×22 or "The One With the Reverse Crypt Scene"
So far this season: Dean's been cured from demonism; Crowley was his BFF; Cas has his Grace back; and Sam has done his best to reign in Dean's homicidal tendencies. Claire Novak has also reappeared and is at the Wayward Daughters Hunting Academy (aka Sheriff Jody's house). Cain has confirmed that there is no cure for the Mark, but Crowley's mother, Rowena, says it's a curse, and like any other curse it can be broken. In pursuit of a spell to break the curse, Charlie sacrificed her life to the supernatural Corleone family: the Stynes. Spoilers ahead.
The penultimate episode of the tenth season lights up on our least favourite family of organised supernatural crime: the Stynes. Now, the Stynes are on the shit list of everyone in the fandom after the death of fan favourite character, Charlie Bradbury, which never actually happened because that episode doesn't exist. Anyway, we meet the youngest member of the Stynes, a teenager named Cyrus (played by Being Human's Connor Price), who is distinctly unlike the rest of his family. In fact, he has plans to leave the Styne clan and head to Los Angeles for a fresh start. The way the narrative follows Cyrus, it's obvious that we're meant to feel an emotional connection to one of the Stynes, and to see that there can be good in the midst of evil.
It's hard to remember the good, however, as we watch the Winchesters prepare Charlie's funeral.
They give her a true hunter's send-off, and yeah, it hurt to watch. A lot. As the brothers stand by her funeral pyre, Sam's words about Charlie's meaningful life are cut short by Dean's admission that it should be Sam on the pyre, and not Charlie. Charlie's death has shredded the fragile balance between the brothers, and we might as well wrap this up and call it season nine for all the white man pain we saw in this episode.
Forgive me my ranting for a moment, dear Collectors, but this episode made it apparent that Charlie's death served no narrative function other than to cause friction between the brothers. I might have been at peace with Charlie's death if they had written her a heartbreakingly beautiful tribute, but what Charlie received instead was stilted dialogue, ridiculous references to a 19th century horror novel, and no final purpose other than to send an e-mail. Charlie deserved better.
Dean vows to seek vengeance on the Stynes, but no one seems to know if it's for Charlie or for the Mark. I suppose it doesn't matter, because by the time he is done with the Stynes, the Mark is firmly in control. At the beginning of the season, Crowley had remarked that the MoC needed to be 'fed' or Dean would become homicidal (even more so than he already was as a demon?). Well someone hasn't been keeping their inner psychopath fed, because, seriously, I lost count of Dean's death toll at fifteen.
Meanwhile, Rowena reminds Sam of his promise to kill her son, Crowley, and so Sam tricks him into meeting him in an abandoned warehouse. Rowena's prepped a hex bag that should kill her son, and as Sam watches the King of Hell slowly ooze away into the cement floor, we are presented with another evil that's intertwined with a little bit of good. Crowley admits to wanting to feel again. It's a testament to how far the Winchesters have fallen when the King of Hell is closer to reclaiming his humanity than Dean is. We are reminded, however, that Crowley is indeed the monster that Sam says he is when we see his demonic eyes for the first time.
Looks like Crowley is no longer interested in playing nice with the Winchesters. About time.
As Sam and Castiel head to the bunker to stop Dean from, well, who knows because at this point his death toll is approaching dozens, the Stynes beat them to the bunker. They've brought Cyrus as some kind of weird initiation ritual, and intend to pillage and plunder the bunker of all its magic. The pillaging is interrupted by their collective slaughtering by Dean, and the only one left alive is Cyrus. Cyrus pleads with Dean, tells him he's not like the rest of his family, that he's different. It's a scene we've seen before in "The Girl Next Door," when Amy Pond (Jewel Staite) claims to be different than the rest of her kind. Dean takes the same approach that he did in season seven, but with one key difference: Cyrus is human.
Castiel is the first to arrive at the bunker, and when he sees Cryus's body, he begs Dean to let them help him with the Mark. In a chillingly parallel scene to the crypt one in "Goodbye Stranger," we watch as a Dean controlled by the Mark assaults, and nearly murders, Castiel. Castiel doesn't fight back, and instead pleads with Dean to restrain himself. Dean does, if only just barely, and the last we see of the Winchester is his back as he walks away from the bleeding angel, telling Cas and Sam to stay away from him.
The Big Picture
As we head into next week's finale, the Collective staff has three theories on how the tenth season might wrap up.
Theory #1: Dean Kills Sam and Completes the Cain & Abel Parallel
This is perhaps the most obvious theory, since Cain's reappearance in "The Executioner's Song" expanded the parallels between the biblical brothers and the Winchesters. As loathe as I am to admit it, Charlie's death could symbolise the death of the "good" part of Dean. When reflecting on "There's No Place Like Home," the symbolism becomes even more poignant. In that episode, Bad!Charlie went into remission and Good!Charlie became dominant. Charlie's death signals the end of Good!Dean being dominant, and for most of the episode (if not its entirety), the Mark is in control. Cyrus's murder further emphasizes how far Dean has fallen, because having followed the teenager's narrative throughout the episode, we, the audience, know that the youngest Styne is an innocent. However, we know that Dean isn't quite to the point of no return because although he's told Sam he should be dead, and murdered the entire Styne family, he was not able to kill Cas.
Before treating Cas like a personal punching bag, Castiel states that he will not abandon Dean. Cas plans on sticking with Dean until the end, whether it takes days or centuries. He says that he will be by Dean's side long after Sam and everyone else Dean knows is dead, and he will stop him from destroying the world. By this point in the episode, Dean is so firmly in the Mark's control that almost nothing Cas says or does deters the Winchester from violence. It's the simple "Dean, please," that cracks Dean, likely because the words were so similar to the ones he said to the angel in the crypt in season eight.
This "reverse crypt scene" indicates that Dean isn't far from the Point of No Return. Cain warned Dean that the Mark would ultimately lead to the murder of Sam, and perhaps the purpose of "The Prisoner" was to give us ample time to prepare for the darkest Supernatural finale in years.
Theory #2: Sam Kills Dean
When it's done with you, you won't be you anymore. Dean, you're all I've got. Of course I was gonna fight for you, 'cause that's what we do. -Sam
Sam's very own subplot has led him on a [failing] quest to save his brother, in spite of Dean's explicit requests to stop. This brings forward issues of consent: Dean willinging accepted the Mark and has refused a cure, so does Sam have the right to make decisions for Dean, just because the Mark is evil? Sam assumes that Dean needs a cure from the Mark, and while he is correct, should he be allowed to force the cure onto Dean?
In a nutshell: can you save someone who doesn't want to be saved?
The last time we saw Cain, he mentioned a very specific order for those who would be killed by Dean: Crowley, Castiel, and then Sam. So far, it is Sam who has tried to kill Crowley, and inadvertently almost killed Cas by having him babysit Dean. Perhaps the Cain and Abel parallels are not as clear cut as the writers would have us think, and the Winchester who ends up dead at the hands of his brother may not be the one we think.
Theory #3: Dean Becomes Something Else
Death is returning and making Dean an offer. Even though Dean has had the Mark for the majority of two seasons, we still know very little about how it works (aside from it turning him into a black-eyed karaoke machine). With the arrival of Death, us here at the Collective wonder if perhaps Dean's cure will work out to be a trade: the Mark for Death's job. The Mark has always been placed on a human host, so what happens if Dean becomes something else entirely? We've seen him pick up the scythe before, and perhaps this time it would be for a more permanent duration. Then, the character death that's been teased to us would be the Character of Death.

Summary: We discussed 9 bugs that were NEW at the time of the assignment and added appropriate comments in Bugzilla. Martin Kliehm was chosen as sub-team lead. As homework for next week we will try to provide NEEDSINFO on 8 a11yTF bugs that haven't been assigned to TF members yet. Minutes: http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-minutes.html IRC log: http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-irc - DRAFT - Bug Triage Sub-Team - HTML A11Y TF 14 Sep 2010 Attendees Present Marco_Ranon, Michael_Cooper, kliehm, Joshue_O_Connor Regrets Chair Michael_Cooper Scribe MichaelC Contents Topics 1. Lead for sub-group 2. Timeline 3. Modus operandi 4. Homework from 2 weeks ago 5. Homework 6. Next meeting * Summary of Action Items Marco, unfortunately the UK and France numbers only accept 2 connections each at a given time. If someone else has taken the slots, nobody else can use them. They keep saying they're going to fix that but I haven't heard about any progress. <Marco_Ranon> Thanks Michael. I know. I can't dial the US number from the office though <Marco_Ranon> Is it OK if I stay on IRC only? Can you use Skype? <Marco_Ranon> It's blocked. i.e., if we switch to that instead of Zakim. Darn. I guess we'll do our best <Marco_Ranon> i can try to see if I have a mobile broadband. Marco, if we do the meeting a bit later, can you do it Skype from home? <Marco_Ranon> Sorry to ba a pain... I've just moved house and have no broadband yet... heh, ok ok, we'll try to mirror IRC well so you can follow and contribute <Marco_Ranon> thanks. <Marco_Ranon> i didn't know. === Lead for sub-group === Suggestion to have Martin formally lead this sub-group - set agenda, chair calls, implement decisions in bugzilla. Is this proposal ok? <Marco_Ranon> OK with me. will need fallback lead when unavailable RESOLUTION: Martin is lead of the bug triage sub-group <Marco_Ranon> Martin is more familiar with procedures and bugzilla than I am. === Timeline === Deadline for new bugs to be considered before LC is 1 October 2010 all bugs filed before that date will be processed bugs filed after that date will be queued up for later processing, may ultimately get processed before HTML finalized but no guarantee this means any major accessibility issues need to be filed by then Janina, Mike, and Michael discussed that we probably need to file bugs for drag&drop and keyboard access plan to focus on that this week not sure there's direct impact on bug triage group since we're dealing with existing bugs the deadline that affect us is 22 January 2011, last date to request escalation of bugs into formal protest bug triage subteam must pay close attention to this as this is a central aspect of our work <kliehm> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0074.html next major deadline is 23 February 2011, need change proposals for all escalated issues could impact bug triage sub-team, but may be more in the larger TF so these are the deadlines we work under right now it may be that after these, bug triage sub-team can disband, at least until another bug processing opportunity arises comments, questions? <Marco_Ranon> basically we have two weeks to go through or list of bugs? clarification: bugs filed after 1 October 2010 will handled as Last Call comments, when that stage is arrived at we will probably need to reband at that point to process comments at that time we have two weeks to file new bugs <Marco_Ranon> ok. we have 3 months to process the entire set of bugs on our plate until 22 January 2011 concerns? <kliehm> no <Marco_Ranon> no === Modus operandi === Martin and Michael discussed last week any new input into that for now? <Marco_Ranon> no http://www.w3.org/2010/09/07-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#item02 === Homework from 2 weeks ago === http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Sep/0084.html <Marco_Ranon> Nothing to comment on Joshue bugs you discussed last week. I saw the emails from both MC and MK last week. 8674, proposal is to mark verified wontfix <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8674 <Marco_Ranon> ok. sorry.yes. no objections 8681, proposal is to close (not accessibility) <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8681 <Marco_Ranon> I agree TF previously indicated it would provide further info (Feb 2010) now we'd be saying "never mind" <Marco_Ranon> i just don't see where it could be an accessibility issue ok, accepting proposed disposition 8754, proposal is to accept editor response in May we wanted Gez to do a change proposal though this might have been a bug that originated with Cynthia <Marco_Ranon> Personally, I don't think that having modern UAs allowing to zoom is an excuse to ignore this problem. I often resize text only and in RNIB we do check for text only resizing to work correctly me too, I'm worried that there may be a general issue, even if the particular one in the bug isn't one not clear if it's a content language issue, or a user agent issue we wouldn't want override of explicitly author-set overflow:hidden though <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8754 (it's an accessibility problem the author has chosen to go into, perhaps with good reason) the base issue may be one of clipping when zooming <Marco_Ranon> i think it should be down to the UA to render the text even if visually hidden <Marco_Ranon> the Assistive technology more than the UA think we should go ahead and close this bug, but alert UAAG WG that they should document the larger issue in Implementing UAAG 2.0 <Marco_Ranon> sound sensible to me because it's not a problem in current *modern* browsers, but we we wouldn't want a new browser to re-introduce the problem <scribe> ACTION: cooper to refer bug 8754 to UAWG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#action01] 8827 and 8872, both seem related to ISSUE-31 <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/Escalating_a_Bug_to_an_Issue says TrackerRequest should be added before a bug is escalated to an issue seems like it should have the trackerissue keyword just to confirm this <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8827 <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/31 adding TrackerIssue keyword to 8827, leaving 8872 alone <kliehm> Next. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9061 <Marco_Ranon> OK 9061, proposal is to reopen because open for counter-proposals but process is not to reopen bugs that have been escalated maybe we should just add a comment that bug triage sub-team understands this is open for counter-proposals and needs no further tracking at TF level at this time <kliehm> +1 <Marco_Ranon> +1 9098, proposal to close as is <Marco_Ranon> i agree in principle. I think @src should be essential part of IMG, and @alt the accessible alternative. But as MC said, i wouldn't be useful to argue this point <Marco_Ranon> Joshue, I've been trying for an hour... <Joshue> yeah <Joshue> ok, IRC it is! we're about to wrap up in a bug or two <Joshue> I thought it starts at 5? <Joshue> Oh, no! <Joshue> I got the time wrong didn't I :-( <Joshue> Sorry guys.. :( yeah, it's 4pm IST <Joshue> Ok, I'll amend /both/ my calenders for next time.. <Joshue> Some thoughts for the record.. <Joshue> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9098 <Joshue> For http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9212 <Joshue> Am unsure, it seems to be spanning two use cases. 1) Where the user creates alternate text for individual images 2) Batch processing. I am not convinced that both issues are being dealt with here, and agree with Lauras initial concerns. <Joshue> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9215 <Joshue> Josh: I haven?t parsed this bug. <Joshue> Bug 9061 - allow image maps on the canvas element. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9061 <Joshue> This bug relates to the ?how are we gonna make canvas accessible? discussion. Have we a concensus on this issue right now? Or at least have we decided which routes to not go down? <Joshue> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8674#c2 we think 9098 should just be added as a reference from ISSUE-31 <Joshue> Ok, if nested menus that provide this functionality <Joshue> Thats fine.. <Joshue> For 8681, fine close it. <Joshue> Bug 8754: Overflow when text is resized <Joshue> Josh: Yes, agree with the resolution, accept and close. <Joshue> Does 8827 need the keyword TrackerIssue? Yes. I think this is still an issue. <Joshue> I have stuff here relating to 'my' bugs that I sent to the PF list, will I post them here? <Joshue> Bug 9437 - change ARIA section title and add extra text about use of ARIA.[ we went through them last week, though had question on one <Joshue> ok, which one? <Joshue> Sorry I couldn't make last week, I was travelleing to Sweden. hang on, we're trying to go through these one at a time still on 9098 <Joshue> ok <kliehm> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9212 <Joshue> Re: 9212 The suggestion is to change the 'generated' mechanism - comes from a worry that authors will abuse it and not bother to generate alternate text for individual images when doing bulk uploads etc, and that the current spec allows them to do this. Hixie then claims that the current spec trusts that authors wouldn't abuse the current model (as a matter of pride). He does make a good point about using current 'batch' tools to push large amounts of conten <Joshue> Re: 9212 Are there APIs that can detect the tool being used and therefore provide a document level generator mechanism, when suitable and an element level mechanism otherwise? To me it seems that whatever is the most prevalent use case should be the default, which I suggest is the more granular method - so HTML 5 should support Element Level generator mechanism by default. <Joshue> my 2 cents.. Josh, would you mind adding those comments to the bug as a clarification? <Joshue> Yup, will do that now. we don't see any further action to take at this point because it's already escalated <Joshue> done <Joshue> fine Thx. It turns out this is the one from last week we weren't sure about. <Joshue> ok, sin e. <Joshue> Sorry, outburst of Gaeilge. === Homework === <Joshue> Ok, I'll take a few more bugs Michael. There are homework assignments from http://www.w3.org/2010/08/31-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#item01 to do if they're not done yet also looking at new homework for this week <Marco_Ranon> I went through my list for this week. Most The of them are about ARIA mapping. Steve Faulkner addressed them in his email to Maciej on 10 September 2010: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Sep/0285.html <kliehm> In particular, Joshue could you address http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9871 <Joshue> Will do Martin. Suggest we look at NEEDSINFO bugs for this coming week http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?keywords=a11ytf&bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=NEEDSINFO some of these are already assigned to someone to provide the info, we just need to ping <Joshue> So all on this list are NEEDSINFO bugs? assigning 2 each, need to try to provide the actual info as part of the homework some may be easy, some not Martin to take 8622 and 8645 Marco to take 8715 and 8722 Josh to take 8740 and 8885 <Joshue> Yeah, some are mammoth. @alt, ARIA and A11y API mappings etc Michael to take 10252 and 10483 we may not be able to provide all the needed info <Joshue> ok but let's make a good faith effort to try as part of the homework (plus catching up on last week's homework) <scribe> ACTION: Michael to ping owners of bugs in http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?keywords=a11ytf&bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=NEEDSINFO to make sure they're working on them [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#action02] <Joshue> For the record, I don't have much more to add on the Bugs I got, so.. do you want to trade? or get help from colleagues, or tweet a question and see what comes up? === Next meeting === Martin sends regrets <Joshue> Fine with me <Marco_Ranon> fine with me too <Marco_Ranon> thanks. i am better now <Joshue> So just to be clear, are we looking for more info on these bugs, or to state proposals? next meeting will take place as usual: Tuesday 21 September at 15:00 UTC 17:00 CEST 16:00 BST / IST 11:00 EDT prepare proposals if possible, though don't add to the bug itself <Joshue> Ok, fine. hopefully better telephony <Marco_Ranon> bye <Marco_Ranon> i'll have a look. i might be able to work from home <Marco_Ranon> bye === Summary of Action Items === [NEW] ACTION: cooper to refer bug 8754 to UAWG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#action01] [NEW] ACTION: Michael to ping owners of bugs in http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?keywords=a11ytf&bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=NEEDSINFO to make sure they're working on them [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/09/14-a11y-bugs-minutes.html#action02]Received on Tuesday, 14 September 2010 17:36:44 UTC

Happy Birthday to Me
Sadly, I didn't get to spend my Big Day with Ryan. Noah and I were in Utah visiting friends, but Ryan has now joined us and we are in Idaho visiting his family for the weekend. I was bummed that I didn't get to be spoiled by my husband on my birthday (it's the one day of the year that I demand to be spoiled), but at least I got to see some other people that I love. My cousin decorated her kitchen with birthday signs and made me delicious chocolate chip birthday muffins, and I met up with a few friends the night before to get pizookies (heaven!) at my favorite dessert cafe in Orem. I knew that my birthday was going to be hectic due to our move and then our trip, so I've been trying to celebrate sporadically all month with special outings and fun little purchases. I am all about birthdays being special, and I am not opposed to celebrating all month.
The day before my birthday, Noah and I had a talk. I told him, "Noah, tomorrow is Mommy's birthday, and all that she wants as a present is an extra hour of sleep. So instead of waking up at your usual 5:45 a.m., could you sleep until at least 7:00?" He looked at me so intently that I thought maybe he understood.
But, alas, he was up at 5:45, as usual. The child is a very early riser. I have tried everything to get him to change his habits, but it's no use. No matter what time we put him to bed at night, he is up the next day at 5:45 on the dot (which is actually a lot better than 5:00 a.m., which was his habit for about six weeks).
As I dragged myself out of bed and gave him a bottle, I texted Ryan and said, "Happy birthday to me. Our son woke me up before sunrise, as usual." He responded an hour later (he was sleeping soundly in his bed when I was rudely awakened), "He just wanted to make sure that your birthday started early so it would last extra long!" Well, that's one way of thinking about it.
One of the highlights of my day is that we got to see Katie and Drew! They are so cute with our little Noah Bug, and I'll post photos later. Did you see the guest post that Katie wrote for the National Families Supporting Adoption blog? (It's something that I originally posted here, but they published it there as well.) I was so surprised to see that they had published it on my birthday, on the very day that we were going to see Katie and Drew. Crazy timing! Check out the post here: http://familiessupportingadoption.blogspot.com/2012/05/from-one-birth-mom-to-another.html
I am looking forward to my 29th year of life. I have lots of goals, and maybe I'll share some of them eventually. It's going to be a good year.

Yes, Happy Birthday to you!!!ReplyDelete
I love your new poems on the sidebar. I love the pictures of noah. I love you!
Happy happy birthday! I sure hope you get spoiled this weekend. You should!! Once again I am beyond happy I got to see you for a bit. And I've now decided that Noah beats out Max for the bad-sleeper award. 5:45 is brutal! That would be so painful for me - I'm sorry!ReplyDelete
Next year I am going to require spoiling! Good idea. I always want it but just haven't thought of requiring. That may work better. Happy Birthday to one of my favorite people! Seriously!ReplyDelete
Happy birthday girl! Love you!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Rachel!!!ReplyDelete
First of all? I did not realize we share a birthday. Secondly, we are the same age. That must only mean one thing. We are both awesome! Happy birthday!ReplyDelete

In Austrian school economics, and economics influenced by the same, there is often talk of entrepreneurs as making plans. This turns up, for example, in Mark Casson's entrepreneurial theory of the firm (pdf).
As someone who is actually in business, I find the notion of plan somewhat problematic. The business I am a principal of does not make plans in any strong sense, it adopts strategies. It is not about a planned-out sequence of steps, but making decisions about purchases, procedures and communication. Yes, they are aimed at achieving certain outcomes, but in a flexible and operational way.
I suspect the plan usage is something of a holdover from when manufacturing was the dominant mode of private production. Making things does involve a certain amount of planning (and the bigger the thing being made, the more than is true). But, even manufacturing, firms are engaged in commerce, so are about (if they are to be successful) connecting to customers, and you do not control your customers or your competitors. So, the planning of manufacturing is still embedded within commercial strategies.
This is more than a semantic point. Operational strategies are more flexible things than plans. Strategies typically do not regiment decision-making, they coordinate it. The trick is not to target a precise outcome, but to have an outcome within the ambit of success for your commercial strategy. Which procedures such as, for example, just-in-time logistics make easier to achieve.
At a macro level, this makes coordination between commercial strategies somewhat easier. It also makes the entrepreneurial function less like something bureaucratic and more what it is–something very hard to replicate in a highly bureaucratised environment.
Which is my other objection to the plan usage. It does not make clear enough that what goes on in commerce and what goes on in the apparatus of the state tend to be significantly different.
ADDENDA: The plan usage may also be, as Nick Rowe suggests in a comment, a response to socialist planning claims. In fact, that is more likely.
