(We had) the author of 'Holes,' Louis Sachar, go to the Staples Center and had 18,000 to 20,000 students go to Regal theaters throughout the country. He (presented) a writing seminar on what it's like to be a writer, what it's like to have your book made into a film.

We've used Keith before at center ... not this year but previously when he's been in St. Louis. I can't say it will stay pat or not ... we had a practice today, and I wanted to see how it would go in practice.

There had been a problem in Bean's house. The problem was staples. Bean loved staples. She loved them so much that she had stapled things that weren't supposed to be stapled. The things looked better stapled, but her mother didn't think so, and now Bean was outside.

She was going to be outside for a long time.

Think ahead to stock up on the staples you'll need.

She's doing great. She's all shaved and has staples, but she's wagging her tail.

provide the center of gravity for it.
