Today, after months of research and evidence collection, Veteran Warriors filed a formal request for Congressional hearing with the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, to bring this evidence to light. The organization has over 300 case studies from veterans and evidence that approximately 8000 have been terminated in the last two years; under the guise of the veteran "having recovered" and "graduating" from a program that has no verbiage for such outcomes.
Veteran Warriors purpose is to bring about reforms and accountability to the Department of Veterans Affairs.


Do you find yourself constantly checking your smartphone during your waking hours, and even sleeping with it next to you at night? Many of us are glued at the hip to our various pieces of technology, and pay good money for the privilege! Yet taking a break from constant phone use can really help put your back in touch with other forms of communication, including the self-reflective kind. Spending less time looking down at your phone allows you to enjoy more of the sights and sounds in real life. You don't have to get rid of your phone completely to start experiencing these benefits, however. Another option is to reduce your mobile phone reliance by freeing yourself up from a long-term contract. This offers additional benefits which are worth exploring, particularly if you're looking for a way to save money. One of the reasons why many of us sign up for long-term phone contracts is in the interest of getting a brand new smartphone. The thought of purchasing an off-contract phone can be a daunting prospect, because it's such a big upfront expense. However, there is a thriving market for used phones, allowing you to not only benefit from the discount provided by purchasing a used model but also resell your phone down the road to get some of your money back. Not being tied down to a contract means that you can purchase any make or model you like, rather than being roped into the latest models that the providers are trying to push. You can also control your phone bills and usage by opting for prepaid. If you only use your phone a few times a week, you will only pay for these calls rather than a predetermined number of minutes. For occasional cell phone users or those trying to cut back, this is a great way to save money. Have you ever returned from a trip abroad only to be surprised with a nasty phone bill, thanks to all the roaming charges? This is another reason to get rid of a phone contract, and avoid using your regular phone on holiday. There are numerous alternatives to stay in touch with friends and family back home, from international calling cards to free SIM card numbers that cater to your local destination. Choosing a prepaid option gives you the freedom from worrying about roaming fees and international charges, because you can shop around to find the best rates ahead of time. There are numerous providers that specialise in overseas calls. For example, at Lebara.UK you'll find low cost calling options to a variety of countries. Another option is to use online tools like Skype and Rebtel when travelling, which often provide free calls to users in the same network. If you're trying to wean yourself from a smartphone addiction, going prepaid is a good way to start. It allows you to have the security of a phone for practical use. Even if you're not trying to cut back on your phone usage, prepaid plans can save you money particularly when travelling. These are all a few reasons to consider the alternatives to long-term contracts.

Bihar to label handloom products from state for authenticity
PATNA – The Bihar government plans to emboss the Handloom Mark to all handloom cotton and silk products woven in the state for the sake of authenticity and transparency in subsidy distribution. It will also help identify which product has been woven where and by whom.'
About this, Principal Secretary, S Siddharth said, "We are planning to start labeling all handloom products in the state with the Handloom Mark, which is provided by the central government."
This will help in differentiating handloom products with power loom and mill products and will also eliminate fake products from the market, he added.
The step will bring transparency in subsidy distribution, as the number printed on the label will denote who wove what and where, Secretary said.
At present, there are around 6,741 active handlooms in Bihar with unique identification numbers, while the state government is trying to increase the number to 10,000. It wants to expand to all products, except low-priced ones such as gamchha (towel), lungi and handkerchief.
The Handloom Mark scheme was launched in 2006 under the office of the development commissioner for handlooms, with the textiles committee under the ministry of textiles as the implementing agency to give a collective identity to handloom products that would help guarantee for the buyer that the product being bought is genuinely hand-woven.
The National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, had designed its logo from the interlocking of the warp and the weft to form a three-dimensional cube.
So far, Bihar has been using Handloom Mark labels in the satrangi chadar – the hospital bedsheet scheme meant for government hospitals since 2017-18.

What's sup, and yes I am still alive despite being inactive for over a year. First of all, happy belated new years. Second, my job really killed my motivation to write last year. Going month after month working seven days a week, and at most getting two days off made relaxing more alluring than writing anything. There were also days on rare occasion I simply knocked out as soon as I laid down on my bed. Yep, offline job didn't make it any easy for me to sustain my creativity, or energy to do anything. Finally, it was a busy year in general. Even without the whole job working me to the bones I still had offline drama to deal with, and I frankly had enough of it.
2018 started off well for me, but then, yep, something happened yesterday, and I'm trying to resolve it. Oh boy, 2018 is off to a good start, and I'm not going to bore you with the rest of my life's detail cause it'll take three more paragraphs to do so.
So why do I keep coming back? Simple, I just can't let it go. Despite spending over a year of not posting anything I just simply can't stop thinking things I watched, nor stop discussing them among my offline friends. There was also the bonus of 2017, and the many, many films that I was completely enthralled in viewing. I kid you not, there were so many films in 2017 I could gush about to the point that for a week I could write about films that I would award perfect ratings too. Some of them, if you still remember what I wrote back in my more active days comes as no surprise movies like Baby Driver, Logan, War for the Planet of the Apes, and The Lego Batman I would give perfect marks too. As well as some surprises like Blade Runner: 2049, and Dunkirk especially receiving a perfect rating from me even though war movies in general don't impress. Plus, as an action junkie, 2017 was easily the best year for action movie since 1992 with the likes of Wolf Warrior 2, SPL: Paradox, Baby Driver, Extraordinary Mission, The Villainess, as well as others not as great action films (looking at you John Wick: Chapter 2) made it quite stellar time for action cinema enthusiasts.
Needless to say I love 2017 in terms of what I saw. Granted it helped I wasn't writing for a blog, or site so I didn't see any atrocious pieces of cinema like I usually would. Same with anime, I rewatched the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime for the first time in years, and it got me back into watching anime. I got reminded why the original Fullmetal Alchemist is my second favorite anime series of all time, and a little bit of help from the first two Selector Wixoss seasons, and both seasons of Noragami didn't hurt either. However, the biggest surprise for me in terms of anime watching was none other than watching Cardcaptor Sakura for the first time, and man what a magical experience it was. I ended up liking Cardcaptor Sakura a lot more than I thought I would, and is now a personal favorite of mine. It simply put a smile my face, and the characters are so endearing to me.
With that brief summarization of events out of the way the reason I wanted to write this blog post is because I didn't want the first piece of the new year to be negative. Yes, the first movie review I write in who knows how many months, and it's a negative review for a Chow Yun Fat movie you likely never heard off, and even less likely seen. At the moment, I'm working on the details on juggling my personal time with this blog/site. I already set myself a quota of how many reviews I want to post this month, as well as made specific selections between must complete, and optional written reviews. For example, a review I must/want to complete this month is for Return Engagement (1990), and a optional one is The Long Good Friday (1980). The optional movies I've chosen ahead of time are simply there for extras if I want to exceed my intended quota. I can't say I'm back for certain, but we'll see, and I implore you to wait on welcoming me back (assuming you intended too, you did right) until March where I'm currently debating dedicating the month mostly reviewing art house cinema. Why, so I can finally work out my thoughts on art house cinema besides saying Takeshi Kitano is the biggest enjoyment I'll ever get from art house films.
Until the end of the month, take of care yourself, and (hopefully) see you around if my job don't kill me first. Happy 2018!


ATLANTA – The 21st-ranked Georgia Tech baseball team used an eight-run second inning to defeat Georgia Southern, 12-3, Wednesday afternoon at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The Yellow Jackets improved to 14-4 overall, and 3-1 against Georgia Southern (11-7) this season. Tech extended its winning streak to nine games.
Freshman Kyle Wren, whose .438 batting average led the Atlantic Coast Conference entering the midweek, was a perfect 4-for-4 with an RBI on the day. The leadoff hitter also scored four runs to pace the Jackets.
Freshmen Daniel Palka and Zane Evans each chipped in with a pair of hits and three RBI as Georgia Tech reached double-digits in scoring for the third time this season. Both of Evans' hits were doubles.
Freshman Dusty Isaacs (1-0) earned the win on the mound in his first career start, allowing one run on one hit in two innings of work. Isaacs, working on a limited pitch count, struck out four of the seven batters he faced.
He was one of 10 different pitchers used by the Jackets in a staff day. The nine relievers yielded just six hits and no earned runs over the final seven innings.
Tech fell behind early for the second straight day, as Georgia Southern's Steve Cochrane singled to left field with two-outs in the top of the first for a 1-0 lead.
The Jackets responded in the bottom half on a two-out double by Palka to right field to even the tally.
Tech would then go on a rant in the second inning, scoring eight runs on six hits for a 9-1 lead. Six different players recorded a hit in the inning, highlighted by Evans' two-RBI double to right field.
The Jackets chased Georgia Southern starter Will Middour for seven of the runs, as the freshman right-hander fell to 1-1 on the season after lasting just 1.1 innings.
Evans' second double of the game followed an RBI double by junior Matt Skole to push the lead to 11-1 in the third, before Palka closed out the scoring in the fifth on a RBI single to right field.
Georgia Southern scored two unearned runs in the top half of the inning on singles by Sean Payne and Eric Phillips for the visiting team's final two runs.
The Jackets will continue ACC play this weekend, hosting NC State for a three-game series at Russ Chandler Stadium. Game times are Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.


Whether it's flying through the air or spinning in circles - there's something about a summer day at an amusement park that draws people of all ages. Safe Kids Colorado led by Children's Hospital Colorado believes that staying safe and having fun can and should go hand in hand.
"Parents need to use their own judgment. Posted age and height requirements are minimal guidelines," said a Safe Kids Colorado coordinator. "Following the rules is also important. If a ride operator tells you to keep your hands and feet inside the car, hold the handrail or remain seated, there's a good reason for doing that - it helps make the ride safer."
Every year, an estimated 8,000 children suffer injuries from amusement park or carnival-type rides that require treatment in an emergency room. These injuries involve fixed rides, mobile rides, inflatables and other types of rides at amusement parks, festivals, traveling carnivals and other locations.
Portable carnival rides are subject to safety regulations enforced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Amusement park rides at a fixed location are not subject to federal safety standards. Parents and caregivers need to decide whether their children are capable of sitting properly on a ride and following the operator's instructions.
Role-model proper safety behavior. Children are more likely to follow safety rules when they see their parents doing so.
Supervise your child getting on and off a ride. Make sure the child understands all announcements and posted rules. Also, parents should practice active supervision. Don't allow older children to supervise younger children on rides.
Always use the safety equipment provided. Safety belts, lap bars, chains, handrails and other safety features are there for a reason.
Be careful when getting off a moving ride. Wait until the ride comes to a complete stop. Also, if a ride stops due to a mechanical problem or safety concern, stay seated and wait for instructions.
Don't let children ride if they're too tired or scared to comply with safety procedures. On some rides, it's important to stay upright and face forward. Don't pressure kids to go on a ride they're afraid of, as they're more likely to sit incorrectly or even try to get off.
Note the limitations of safety devices. Lap bars and chains are not physical restraints -- their main function is to remind the occupant to stay seated. If a small child sits next to a large adult, a lap bar might not offer the child much protection.
Trust your instincts. If a ride looks like it is poorly maintained or an operator seems to be inattentive or unfit, don't let your children ride. As in any industry, while most operators pay close attention to safety, there are exceptions.

Starting next school year, EVSC high school students will have weighted grades and class rank will be eliminated.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Starting next school year, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. high school students will have weighted grades and class rank will be eliminated.
EVSC School Board members unanimously approved the proposal to switch to weighted grades for high school students at a regular Monday night meeting.
The purpose is to give students an incentive to take the most rigorous course they can because "research shows that the more rigorous courses a student takes in high school the more likely they are to be successful in their post-secondary endeavors," said Darla Hoover, director of high school support.
A proposal to switch to weighted grades was first presented to the board in August, but members requested more information. Hoover returned at a January meeting to make another presentation, followed by about a 25-minute discussion when many questions were answered.
Historically it's not unheard of for the board to vote on items that aren't originally listed on the agenda as action items, so at the January meeting EVSC Superintendent David Smith asked if members wanted to go ahead and vote on the proposal or wait.
Board members Jeff Worthington and Karen Ragland voiced their opinions to wait two more weeks to vote so they could gather as much information as possible.
Historically if a board member asks for more time board member Mike Duckworth said that request is honored, so the vote was tabled until Monday night's meeting.
Part of Hoover's report on weighted grades included using Class of 2015 data, which showed students who took more AP courses earned higher SAT scores compared to those who took three or more dual credit classes.
Other findings, Hoover said, included: weighted GPA changed class rank, colleges use a varied approach to admissions in regards to GPA, and eliminating class rank can give students better leverage for certain scholarships.
Board members approved a 5-month contract with Hobsons Naviance because school district officials hope it will help a group of high school students with college and career ready goals.
The Naviance program has planning solutions to enhance student success, improve school counselor productivity and track results for school and district administrators, according to officials.
EVSC's OptIN team is working with a group of students across high schools during the spring 2018 semester. The group will use some Naviance tools for self-discovery, career exploration, goal-setting, résumé building and other career planning solutions.
Officials expect the short agreement to provide: students with hands-on experience with Naviance, EVSC to gather input on effectiveness and if students think Naviance adds value.
Board members learned renovation construction costs for Wee Care, the EVSC's new early childhood education option for employees set to open in August. In an information item Monday night, officials favored base bids from Arc Construction out of three local contractor bids.
EVSC students still must make up four snow days out of the five that were missed in mid-January.
The two remaining virtual days will be Feb. 17 and March 3. For those days, students will receive assignments on the Tuesday of that week, and the assignments will be due the following Tuesday. Work will take place after school hours, with support from teachers virtually, and many schools have open computer lab hours.
For state purposes, the school district must list the virtual day on a day school is not regularly in session, officials explained.
The days students will now be in class are Feb. 19 and April 20.
The EVSC still has one built-in makeup day: April 23.
"Nothing is a perfect solution," Smith said at the January meeting.


Conveniently located and comfortably appointed, this bright second floor two bedroom, one bathroom condominium offers 745sf of living space. It features an open floor plan, several large closets and a fabulous double deck, exclusive to Unit D. There is a designated parking space for one car and recent updates to the property include a new roof, some outdoor trim recently painted, some new windows, and all new smoke alarms. It is a must see.

I'd be lying if I said every day was a jet set day of first class travel to exotic destination or glamorous photo shoots where I look like a curvier Sophia Loren. Inquiring minds want to know, Do you sit around in your underwear typing all day? Actually, some days, yes, but I wear yoga pants.
Some days are more exotic than others.
Some are grueling, but incredibly rewarding.
While others are just plain average.
Travel blogging is one of those jobs that is a lot harder than it looks — it's certainly not all luxury spas and macarons. In fact, most of my life is not filled with travel — it's full of content creation based on my travels. That's the business of blogging, folks.
6:21 a.m. Hear the Hubs stirring while I am still mid-dreaming about Mindy Kaling being my best friend or being naked in high school. He's an early riser and I'm one in training. By 7 a.m. his day is half-over and I'm just rolling out of bed in attempts to exercise before it's 88 degrees and sunny. Forcing myself to confront the question, What is the worst thing that could happen if you exercise instead of sleeping for another hour? Scan emails on my phone for emergencies (website down, Armageddon, etc.).
7:10 a.m. Work-out clothes on, I greet Mini Mupps (bunny) and fill Kitty Girl's food bowl (I swear the Hubs has my already anorexic cat on a diet). Donning the work-out clothes makes it more likely that I will actually work out.
7:15 a.m. Run-walk my neighborhood and realize that I've probably only seen the sun rise a handful of times in my life. If it's raining, I'm inside doing an African fertility dance with Keaira LaShae on Daily Burn.
7:45 a.m. Lay on the floor wondering why it's so hard to do 400 stomach crunches before breakfast. Kitty Girl checks my vital signs when I'm motionless for more than five minutes. She plots to take over my side of the bed if I kick the bucket.
8:00 a.m. Sip cappuccino with steamed hazelnut milk, reply to Instagram messages, and talk to the Hubs about our appointments for the day.
10:00 a.m. Shoot vlog segments for Global Girl Travels in my studio upstairs. Urge my videographer to light me so I look 19. Hey, it's cheaper than plastic surgery.
12:00 p.m. Lunch, usually at home. Hubs whips up a seared ahi salad like the master chef that he is. Discuss our travel plans, clients, and sales.
1:00 p.m. Put finishing touches on my script for The Guam Guide TV segment. Touch-up hair and make-up.
2:00 p.m. At KUAM studios to record my 3-minute segment for the week. Head to radio booth to talk about The Guam Guide and local events.
2:30 p.m. Client meetings, coffee with girlfriends, errands or shopping.
3:30 p.m. Take photographs for clients, The Guam Guide, or a Global Girl Travels post.
4:30 p.m. Have a snack — watermelon, cucumber salad, or sneak a bite of Royce fudge from Japan. Reply to reader comments on Global Girl Travels. Research travel options for my next trip.
6:00 p.m. Force myself to step away from the iMac and think about dinner. Fortunately, the Hubs usually has that covered. 'Cook' was on my pre-marital checklist. Ladies, it's important! If it's date night, pack a picnic dinner, then go to the beach and watch the sunset.
9:00 p.m. Do we have any chips?
10:30 p.m. Time for bed… and stomach crunches. 98… 99… awww, screw it… 400.

Verbal Advantage - Level 08 » Word 31 - Word 40
Word 31: Tantamount [TAN-tuh-MOWNT]
Equivalent; having equal force, effect, or value.
Tantamount comes from an Anglo-French phrase meaning "to amount to as much, be equal to," and ultimately from the Latin tantus, which means "so much" or "so great." In modern usage, when one thing is tantamount to another, it amounts to as much as the other, adds up to the same thing.
In his Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage (1957), Bergen Evans notes that the words paramount and tantamount "look deceptively alike but they mean very different things. Paramount means supreme in rank, preëminent [now written preeminent, without the dieresis]. Tantamount means equivalent, as in value, force, effect, or significance. It is usually followed by to (Your statement is tantamount to a confession). Tantamount is properly applied to acts and statements but not to material things."
Word 32: Pariah [puh-RY-uh]
An outcast; a person despised or rejected by society.
Pariah entered English in the early 1600s from Tamil (TAM-ul), one of the languages of India. In the traditional social system of India, people were divided into classes called castes (pronounced like casts). Unlike in the United States, where there has always been a great deal of class mobility, downward as well as upward, until recently the Indian caste system was rigid, and the pariah caste was one of the lowest on the social ladder. Its members worked chiefly as agricultural and domestic laborers and as servants to the British when India was a British colony. The third edition of The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) notes that until 1949 the pariahs "were also known as untouchables."
From this sense of social inferiority, the word pariah came to be used in English of any person despised or rejected by society, an outcast. Although pariah is often used to describe criminals, outlaws, degenerates, and derelicts, the word does not always connote lawlessness, abject poverty, or antisocial behavior. Young people can become pariahs at school if they don't wear the right clothing or do what is considered "cool." In the 1960s, the hippies became pariahs in the eyes of the establishment because of their disdain for traditional values and opposition to the Vietnam War. And in the 1950s, during Senator Joe McCarthy's infamous witchhunt for Communist subversives, many people who worked in the Hollywood film industry were blacklisted and treated like pariahs, social outcasts.
Word 33: Germane [jur-MAYN]
Relevant, fitting, appropriate, precisely to the point.
Synonyms of germane include pertinent, suitable, applicable (APli-kuh-bul), apposite (AP-uh-zit), and apropos (AP-ruh-POH).
Antonyms include inappropriate, unsuitable, irrelevant, inapplicable, alien, extraneous, incongruous (in-KAHNG-groo-wus), and malapropos (MAL-ap-ruh-POH).
Germane comes through Middle English and Old French from the Latin germanus, which means "having the same parents." When you have the same parents, you are closely allied by blood, and so related or akin. Out of this notion of family affinity grew the modern meaning of germane, having a close relationship to the subject at hand, closely tied to the point in question.
Germane, apposite, pertinent, and relevant are close in meaning.
Relevant is the weakest of the group and means simply related, connected, bearing upon a subject: "The chair of the meeting asked the participants to keep their comments relevant and to refrain from bringing up tangential issues." Pertinent implies immediate, precise, and direct relevance: "Emily made several pertinent suggestions during the meeting that helped us focus on the problem." Apposite implies relevance that is particularly appropriate, timely, or suitable to the occasion: "Emily made some apposite observations about the competition that made us reconsider our marketing strategy." Our keyword, germane, implies a close connection or natural relationship that is highly fitting or appropriate: "Emily also presented a great deal of germane information in her report"; "The judge chided the defense attorney for voicing opinions that were not germane to the case."
Word 34: Licentious [ly-SEN-shus]
Sexually abandoned; lacking moral restraint, especially in sexual conduct.
Apparently there is something sensual about the letter l, because there are no fewer than nine synonyms of licentious that begin with l: lewd, loose, lustful, lecherous (LECH-ur-us), lascivious (luh-SIV-ee-us), libertine (LIB-ur-TEEN), lubricious (loo-BRISH-us), lickerish (LIK-ur-ish), and libidinous (li-BID-'n-us). Additional synonyms of licentious—and believe me, I'm selecting only the more challenging ones—include bawdy, wanton, ribald (word 42 of Level 7, rhymes with scribbled), prurient (PRUUR-ee-int), debauched (di-BAWCHT), dissolute (DIS-uh-loot), salacious (suhLAY-shus), and concupiscent (kahn-KYOO-pi-sint).
Had enough sexy words? All right, here are three antonyms of licentious to quell your lust: pure, chaste, and virtuous.
Licentious comes from the Latin licentia, freedom, leave, liberty, the source also of the English word license. By derivation licentious means taking license, and the word implies doing something one is not supposed to do, especially something sexually immoral. Dictionaries will tell you that licentious may be used to mean unrestrained by law, morality, or rules of correctness or propriety, as a licentious poet or a licentious rap musician. But the truth is that in current usage licentious almost always connotes unrestrained sexuality. Licentious poets write lewd or lustful poems, and licentious rap musicians hip-hop through their sexual escapades. A licentious person is someone who displays a lack of moral restraint regarding sexual conduct.
Word 35: Superannuated [SOO-pur-AN-yoo-AY-tid]
Retired because of age, weakness, or ineffectiveness; old and worn out; outdated, outmoded, obsolete.
Synonyms of superannuated include timeworn, antiquated (AN-tiKWAY-tid), decrepit (di-KREP-it), passé (pa-SAY), and effete (iFEET).
Superannuated combines the prefix super-, meaning "beyond," with the Latin annum, a year, and by derivation means beyond the useful years. That which is superannuated is too old for use, work, or service. The word may be used of a person who has reached the age of retirement, or of anything that has outlived its usefulness, that is old and worn out, as a superannuated car, a superannuated custom, a superannuated technology, or a superannuated idea.
Word 36: Egregious [i-GREE-jus]
Conspicuously bad, remarkable or outstanding for some undesirable or offensive quality.
Synonyms of egregious include flagrant, outrageous, excessive, shocking, gross, monstrous, notorious, grievous (GREE-vus, two syllables please), and arrant (AR-unt).
Egregious comes from the Latin egregius, not of the common herd, and therefore select or outstanding. Egregious was once used to mean outstanding or remarkable, but this sense is long obsolete, and for at least three hundred years the word has most often been used to mean outstanding or remarkable in a bad way, conspicuously bad, offensive, or undesirable.
When you think of how many remarkably bad things there are in the world, it's surprising that egregious isn't used more often. Here are a few possible applications: an egregious crime, an egregious lie, an egregious insult, an egregious fool, an egregious oversight, an egregious mistake, and an egregious breach of human rights.
Word 37: Vapid [VAP-id, rhymes with rapid]
Lifeless, dull, boring, flat, stale; lacking spirit, interest, or flavor.
Synonyms of vapid include unsavory, insipid, unpalatable, trite, prosaic (word 16 of Level 4), pedestrian, and jejune (ji-JOON, word 1 of Level 10).
Antonyms include lively, vigorous, vivid, animated, robust, vivacious (vi-VAY-shus), and emphatic.
Vapid comes from the Latin vapidus, which means spiritless, spoiled, flat. The word has remained true to its Latin root, and in modern usage vapid still applies to that which is lifeless, boring, or stale. Today we speak of vapid conversation, vapid beer, a vapid remark, or a vapid look in a person's eyes.
Word 38: Crotchet [KRAHCH-it, rhymes with watch it]
An odd notion or whim that one clings to stubbornly.
The corresponding adjective is crotchety. A crotchety person is full of crotchets, and therefore stubbornly eccentric. Crotchety is often applied to cantankerous old people who are set in their eccentric ways.
Crotchet comes from a Middle English word meaning a staff with a hook at the end. It is related to the familiar word crochet (kroh-SHAY), the form of needlework in which thread is looped with a hooked needle. Crotchet was once used to mean a reaping hook or a hooklike instrument. In modern usage, however, the most common meaning of crotchet is an odd notion or whim that hooks you or that you cling to stubbornly, as if with a hook.
Webster's New World Dictionary, third edition (1997), says that crotchet "implies great eccentricity and connotes stubbornness in opposition to prevailing thought, usually on some insignificant point." A crotchet may appear insignificant to others, but if it's your crotchet, it's far from trivial. Think of all the eccentric people you know, young or old, who cling to some odd notion or peculiar way of doing something and you will see that to the people who hold them, crotchets are heartfelt convictions.
In The Writer's Art (1984), James J. Kilpatrick includes a long chapter in which he lists, without excuses or apology, one hundred of his crotchets about usage. "Every one…is as dear to me," he writes, "as Audrey, the country wench, was dear to Touchstone. She was an ill-favored thing, sir, but his own. If I am tetchy about the placement of only, that's it. I'm crotchety."
And before your verbally advantaged guide gets crotchety about usage too, let's move on to the next word.
Word 39: Epigraph [EP-i-GRAF]
An inscription; especially, an inscription on a building or monument, or a brief quotation at the beginning of a literary composition that suggests or is germane to its theme.
Epigraph, epigram, and epitaph are close in meaning but sharply distinguished in usage.
An epitaph (EP-i-TAF) is an inscription on a gravestone or tomb in memory of the person buried. In The Devil's Dictionary, a classic work of satirical lexicography, the acerbic and crotchety humorist Ambrose Bierce defined epitaph as "an inscription on a tomb, showing that virtues acquired by death have a retroactive effect." Dorothy Parker, another American writer famous for her quick, mordant wit, once proposed these two epitaphs for herself: "Excuse my dust" and "This is on me."
Epigram (EP-i-GRAM) has two meanings. Originally it referred to a short, witty poem—for example, this two-line ditty by Ogden Nash: "I like eels/'cept as meals." Later epigram also came to mean a short, pointed saying that displays terse wit or a clever twist of thought. One of the greatest epigrammatists (EP-i-GRAM-uh-tists), or writers of epigrams, who ever lived was the nineteenth-century poet and playwright Oscar Wilde. Here are three examples of Wilde's epigrams: "When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong." "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." "[A cynic is] a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."
Our keyword, epigraph, is formed from the prefix epi-, meaning "on" or "above," and the Greek verb graphein, to write. This Greek verb has influenced many English words, including electrocardiograph, an instrument for recording the beating of the heart; orthography, correct spelling; polygraph, otherwise known as a lie detector; and graphology, the study of handwriting. Whenever you see a word containing graph, you can reasonably assume that it has something to do with writing.
An epigraph by derivation means a writing on or above something; hence, an inscription. When you see words engraved on a building, a monument, or a statue, that's an epigraph. When you see a brief quotation placed at the beginning of a book, a chapter, a poem, or the like, that is also an epigraph.
Word 40: Expatiate [ek-SPAY-shee-ayt]
To elaborate, speak or write at great length.
Synonyms of expatiate include discourse (dis-KORS), expound (ek-SPOWND), and descant (des-KANT).
The verb to expatiate comes from the Latin expatiari, to wander. Expatiate originally meant to wander or walk about freely, but this sense is now rare. In current usage expatiate suggests wandering at will over a subject. When you expatiate on something, you elaborate, go into detail, speak or write about it at great length. The corresponding noun is expatiation (ek-SPAY-shee-AY-shin).

Drum Major Megan Piercy lays still on the field after being "killed" by senior Color Guard captain Sydney Branch. Piercy's "death" ends the routine and was a source of uneasiness about the performance.
The theme was based on the movie "Gladiator" and, according to members of the band, the choreography was modeled off the shows of professional drum corps. The routine included music custom-made for the band, included a battle scene between members of the band, and ended with the "death" of the drum major, Megan Piercy. Piercy collapses on the field at the end of the show after being killed by senior Color Guard captain Sydney Branch.
After receiving two to three complaints from parents, President Richard O'Hara and Principal Madelyn Ball met and made the decision to change the content of the halftime show.
Ball discussed the issue with the band on Monday. "We were told that a kid started crying because he thought [Megan] actually died, so we were told not to do any of the fighting or killing,[to] just take out the theatrics," junior band member Mary Olsen said.
However, the original decision was different from the final verdict. "[The administration] asked at first if we could just stand on the field and play happy music like we do in the stands, but eventually we convinced them to let us do our show. We're just not allowed to have any deaths," Branch said.
According to Ball, while parents' reactions to the nature of the show were taken into consideration, so were the reactions from potential donors.
"We're starting to raise money for new band uniforms, and if we don't have the audience really excited about the marching band, then it's going to be really difficult to raise that money," Ball said.
In addition to the first football game under the lights, Friday's game is also a part of alumni weekend. "I have to meet the needs of our constituents, and this Friday night is a big night. It's Alumni Weekend, so who do you think we're going to be asking for money for the band uniforms? I certainly hope [the alumni] see something they want to contribute to," Ball said.
The Marching Band's season started on August 10 with two and a half weeks of band camp. Practice lasted almost eight hours every day. "[The band and Color Guard] spent almost 80 hours at band camp," Olsen said.
According to members of the band, this is the first time the show has needed to be approved by the administration. "There's never been a problem with our show before. There's never been an approval process, our director almost always comes up with the idea for the show almost a year ahead," Piercy said. Director Marc Bolden declined an interview.
"I think their show is really good, but for a football halftime show I do think it's a little too intense," senior cheerleader Becca DiRocco said.
The band has had five days to change their performance. "We are planning on performing [on Friday], we don't know exactly what we're going to do, but we will definitely be marching," Piercy said.
An earlier version of this story stated that the band was the Pep Band and that they had not performed their full halftime routine. It has been brought to our attention that their correct name is the Marching Band and that they have performed their entire routine at both home games. Also, the terminology and reference to people in the choreography of the piece has been corrected as well.
