We make music for everyone, not just this or that demographic, or set of beliefs. I'm a Christian guy, that's my faith, but I write songs about life, just like anyone else in this. We're very thankful to be making music for a living, and don't take it for granted at all. I take my responsibility as an artist/songwriter very seriously, and look at it like we've been given a platform to say something, and should use that wisely. McNevan receives requests to work on everything from R&B, rock, and pop to country music, and frequently contributes songwriting and guest vocals for numerous other artists, including Wavorly, Fireflight, tobyMac, KJ-52, Demon Hunter, Manafest, and Falling Up.

Katherine Munson
As you all know, Katherine Munson is the coolest teacher in New Canaan High School. She likes all of her students equally, except for a student who will not be named... (Rory Shepard). Everyone knows this because she admitts it to the G period class every single day. She recently graduated from the Univeristy of Bucknell and is curently enrolled as an english teacher. She was/is an excellent swimmer and was named for some crazy award in the ESPN magazines. Aka she's so balla its not even funny. She enjoys spending time on the weekends chillin with her friends, and fantasizing about Rory's brother (which is kind of weird because she doesn't know him but based on Rory's ravishing good looks, she wants to try things with him). Anyways Ms. Munson is an awesome english teacher and is right up there with Kelly Devine (yes, she's pregnant and has a son named Kimmy {also known as her little sister} and is known to also be cruishing on Samuel Shepard) She enjoys her life and her favorite part of the day is seeing Rory during F period. Her mood dramatically changes on day 2 (DABCHEF) because she drops her favorite period and only hopes she can see Rory during a "coincidential" lunch period.

Bumber
Bumber is a form of tennis that is played without nets. It is best played in doubles, but can be played with singles as well. Serving and scoring is like normal tennis. You're allowed to hit the ball below the net on every hit, but the ball has to be returnable. Once every game, each side is allowed one "Drop Shot", this is where a player hits the ball straight into the ground on the opponents side of the court, this ball can be impossible to hit and it will count. The only guidelines for a "Drop Shot" is that it has to be within the Doubles Lines.

Notice to the wikipedia reviewer
This was last rejected, for being construed as advertising, Let me explain, this is simply a summation of all the technical jargon, used in the detailed technical specification of the hardware (the x1250).

it meets all the criteria for submission to wikipedia.

while it may not be on the same level as encyclopedia brittanica, i hope others following me would improve the article. so that this article can evolve over time, the basic premise of wikipedia still i hope?

David Mills (Footballer)
David Mills is a Left sided defender for GSK. A local football team in the town of Crawley. GSK made national headlines on 5th December 2006 for "The Minutes Silence Prank".

"GSK Phoenix, who play in the Crawley and District Football League in West Sussex, had a charge of bringing the game into disrepute upheld. The minute's silence, in fact for a player who had been dropped from the side, was before a cup game in October. The club said the matter had been dealt with and it would not comment further. 'Slap on the wrist' GSK Phoenix were lining up against Ifield Edwards FC in a Sussex County FA Intermediate Cup match. Some of Ifield's players noticed their opponents were "giggling or laughing" during the silence, and it was only after the game they were told it had been a joke. Ifield Edwards reported the incident to the Sussex County Football Association, and the disrepute charge was brought against GSK Phoenix. Ken Benham, chief executive of the county FA, said the charge was proven at a hearing requested by the club. He said: "In reaching this decision we took into account the exemplary conduct of the club following the match, and their very professional attitude throughout the process." But Ali Rennie, manager of Ifield Edwards FC, said he was surprised at the outcome. "I don't think fining them £100 is appropriate. It's just a slap on the wrist," he said."

David married his long term girlfriend Sarah on 11th Novemeber 2007.

Although David was born in 1977 he still has an ambition to play football at a higher standard, regularly being invited to trials with Football League clubs such as Crystal Palace and Millwall.

Also known as Chinese artichokes, chorogi, Japanese artichokes, these oddly shaped tubers are so nicknamed because they have an earthy taste similar to artichokes. White, puffy, and small, they are often said to resemble insect larvae or caterpillars. Though cronses are in the mint family, the edible part of the plant is the root, much like a potato.

Cronses are very popular in French cuisine.

With offices in Nottingham, Birmingham and London and over 500 employees, including 60 partners and over 220 other lawyers, the firm works with a wide variety of Midlands and national clients in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

The firm is one of the fastest growing law firms in the UK, having quadrupled in size since 1997. In 2005-06, it broke the £30million turnover barrier achieving another record turnover, retaining their double-digit annual growth. Results for 06/07 demonstrated a year-on-year increase of 8% with the firm announcing a £31.9million turnover. This has been achieved organically indicating the firm's inherent cultural and entrepreneurial strength.

Browne Jacobson consistently punches above its weight in terms of its existing client portfolio, its new client acquisition and the accolades it collects. This year it received top honours at the Managing Partners Forum 2007 European Practice Management Awards winning the award for ‘best marketing campaign’. Last year, it also won joint first prize for 'best managed firm' and was also awarded second place in the 'best brand in practice' category at the Managing Partners Forum 2006 European Practice Management Awards.

The firm consistently recognises the contribution of its own people through a plethora of awards including 47th place in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work for, a retained Investor in People status and four rosettes from Lex magazine in its new trainee rankings. It combines home-grown talent with the recruitment of high calibre individuals and invests in the people within the firm. Staff turnover is significantly lower than national and industry averages and this stability, when combined with the firm’s innovation and market knowledge, enables the firm to provide a high-quality professional service.

The firm
Browne Jacobson is committed to the Midlands with its Birmingham and Nottingham presence. Its London office provides a solid base from which to service national clients’ needs along with attracting specialist local work. Structuring its network in this fashion allows the firm to work closely with local and regional clients offering specialist work at competitive cost.

In the East Midlands, the firm continues to be recognised as the leading commercial and public sector law firm with specialist areas including corporate, intellectual property, commercial property, health and insurance. In the West Midlands, its Birmingham office has undergone a period of rapid expansion during the last two years, increasing headcount by 35 and doubling the number of partners to 13. As a result, the Birmingham office now operates as a full-service office and has secured some high profile clients in various of the practice areas including Peugeot, National Geographic, the English Cricket Board, Magnetic North and other household names.

Across the region, the firm has developed a good reputation for the quality of its work and prides itself on its ability to deliver individual solutions for its clients. It operates in a flexible manner and has invested in leading-edge technology to benefit both clients and its own people.

Corporate and social responsibility is a key theme within the firm and is driven through commitment to fours areas; workplace; supplier; community and environment. Policies are in place to support activities in these areas and are continually being reviewed to ensure that it operates in the most appropriate manner. Its community involvement is two-fold through activities organised by its two committees, the legal pro bono and the community action group and also through its involvement with Business in the Community.

History of the firm:
Browne Jacobson was founded in 1832. Its founding partner, Michael Browne, was the then Coroner of Nottingham. Browne & Son, as it was known was based in Church Gate, Nottingham, and has been in continuous business from this date.

In the early 1900's, the then sole principal of the practice, Arthur Browne, took into partnership Montagu Williams. The firm changed its name to Browne Son & Williams accordingly. Bill Jacobson joined the firm as an Assistant Solicitor, and shortly after, Arthur Browne retired.

Williams and Jacobson joined the war effort in 1914, however Williams was unfortunately killed in action. Jacobson returned to the firm eventually becoming a partner. On his appointment, the firm was renamed Browne Son & Jacobson.

In 1931, the firm Robert Hallam, led by principal Jack Hallam, amalgamated with Browne Son & Jacobson, to become Browne Jacobson & Hallam. The practice moved from its Church Gate base to 44 Friar Lane.

Browne Jacobson & Hallam employed Norman Roose in 1932. Roose joined as a young assistant solicitor with a bent for litigation - he became a partner by 1938 creating a three strong partnership; Jacobson, Hallam & Roose

Hallam subsequently left to set up his own practice J. Hallam and Sons at Wheeler Gate, Nottingham in 1954. The firm reflected this change, renaming itself Browne Jacobson & Roose.

Norman Roose retired from the firm as senior partner in the early 1980's and, when the firm moved to the current Nottingham premises at Castle Gate in 1987, the name of the firm was changed to Browne Jacobson.

Browne Jacobson's London office opened in 1994. There are now more than 20 members of staff, including 3 partners, based in London full time and lawyers from our Birmingham and Nottingham offices regularly spend time there.

Browne Jacobson's Birmingham office opened in July 1999, and significant growth in the past couple of years since its move to Victoria Square House has seen the firm double in size with a headcount of over 100 including 14 partners.

On the 1 May 2004 the firm converted to a Limited Liability Partnership and is now known as Browne Jacobson LLP.

Main practice areas
Browne Jacobson is a full service commercial practice offering a comprehensive range of legal services to businesses, including: Biosciences, construction, corporate and banking, charities and not-for-profit, countryside, business recovery and insolvency, dispute resolution, emergency services, employment, financial services, food and drink, French inward investment health, insurance, intellectual property, IT and telecoms, local and central government, manufacturing, professional services, property and development, retail, sports and leisure, transport and logistics, tax, trade and innovation, regulatory and risk management

McCabeism's
Mccabeism's is a play in hockey (or any other sport) that causes a team to lose a game, create a turnover, score on one's self, or otherwise embarrass one's self, team, or fans with bad play.

These plays usually begin with or from a highly paid or important player on the team who is expected to perform to a higher level than most, but in pressure situations, cracks mentally.

These types of "mccabeism's" can also result from skating around nets and catching yourself on it, while nobody chases you, causing a huge fall in front of 17,000 people.

These types of players or athletes commonly "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"

Examples
Bryan McCabe, the Toronto Maple Leafs, highly paid defenseman deposited a puck into the back of his own net, causing the Leafs to lose to the rival Buffalo Sabres. October 15, 2007

McCabe, playing with the puck at the blue line sent an errant pass which was intercepted by Mike Komisarek, who promptly scored on the resulting breakaway. This gave the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 overtime victory. November 13, 2007

Selma James
Author of the women’s movement classic The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community, founder of the International Wages for Housework Campaign and coordinator of the Global Women’s Strike.

Selma James was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1930. As a young woman she worked in factories and then as a full-time housewife and mother. At the age of 15 she joined the Johnson-Forest Tendency, one of whose three leaders was CLR James.

In 1952 she wrote the classic A Woman’s Place, first published as a column in Correspondence a bi-weekly newspaper written and edited by its readers with an audience of mainly working class people. Unusually at the time the newspaper had pages dedicated to giving women, young people and Black people an autonomous voice. Selma was a regular columnist and edited the Women’s Page. In 1955 she came to England to marry CLR James who had been deported from the United States during the McCarthy period. They were together for 25 years and were close political colleagues.

From 1958 to 1962 Selma lived in Trinidad where, with CLR James, she was active in the movement for West Indian independence and federation. Returning to England after independence, she became the first organising secretary of the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination in 1965, and a founder member of the Black Regional Action Movement and editor of its journal in 1969.

In 1972, the publication Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community (authored with Mariarosa Dalla Costa) launched the “domestic labour debate” by spelling out how the housework and other caring work women do outside of the market produces the whole working class, thus the market economy, based on those workers, is built on women’s unwaged work. The 1983 publication of Selma’s Marx and Feminism broke with established Marxist theory by providing a reading of Marx's Capital from the point of view of women and of unwaged work.

In 1972 Selma founded the International Wages for Housework Campaign which demands money from the State for the unwaged work in the home and in the community. A raging debate followed about whether caring full-time was "work" or a "role" — and whether it should be compensated with a wage.

A number of autonomous organizations were formed in 1975 -- Black Women for Wages for Housework, Wages Due Lesbians, the English Collective of Prostitutes and some years later WinVisible (women with visible and invisible disabilities). Selma is the first spokeswoman of the English Collective of Prostitutes, which campaigns for decriminalization as well as viable economic alternatives to prostitution.

From 1985 Selma co-ordinated the International Women Count Network which won the UN decision where governments agreed to measure and value unwaged work in national statistics. Legislation on this has since been introduced in Trinidad & Tobago and Spain, and time use surveys and other research are underway in many countries. In Venezuela Article 88 of the Constitution recognizes work in the home as an economic activity that creates added value and produces wealth and social welfare, and entitles housewives to social security.

Since 2000 Selma has been international co-ordinator of the Global Women's Strike, a network of grassroots women, bringing together actions and initiatives in many countries. The Strike demands that society “Invest in Caring Not Killing”, and that military budgets be returned to the community starting with women, the main carers everywhere. She has been working with the Venezuelan Revolution since 2002.

Selma James is general editor of Crossroads Books.

Selma James lectures in the UK, US and other countries on a wide range of topics including Sex, Race & Class, What the Marxists Never Told Us About Marx, The Internationalist Jewish Tradition, Rediscovering Nyerere’s Tanzania, CLR James as a political organizer and Jean Rhys: Jumping to Tia.

Ruvein Klein
Ruvein Klein (born April 10, 1059 in Haifa, Israel) was an Israeli born soccer goalkeeper who gained notoriety as the youngest goalie in the North American Soccer League. He was the backup keeper for the Los Angeles Aztecs during the 1976 and 1977 seasons at age 17 & 18. A severe knee injury (in which he damaged his medial collateral, anterior cruciate, and lateral collateral ligaments, as well as rupturing the patellar tendon) midway through the 1977 season forced him into an early retirement. He was best known for his flamboyant risk taking style, which often resulted in spectacular saves but sometimes at the cost of being well out of position and allowing easy goals. Klein also has the reputation of being one of the best goalies in penalty kick situations.

Bio
Klein was born Ruvein Avriam Klein on April 10, 1959 in Haifa, Israel to an Israeli mother and German father. He was the youngest of two children, and started playing soccer at an early age. After working his way up through the Israeli club system, he became enthralled with the United Stated while visiting relatives when he was 13. He was signed by the Aztecs in the winter of 1975. After recovering from the knee injury he attempted a comeback with the Los Angeles Skyhawks of the American Soccer League but the team folded and he had lost too much agility to attempt further comebacks. He then returned to Israel where he became an architect.

Let Me Tell You Something (storytelling)
Let Me Tell You Something is a storytelling series curated by actor/artists Eliza Bent (sister of Melissa Bent, co-owner of Rivington Arms) and Greg Portz. In it, Bent and Portz portray shut-ins Twitch and Shimmy Fairbanks. Guest storytellers are invited to weave their yarns throughout the event with intermitent questions and comments from Twitch and Shimmy. The stories that are told are true-to-life, characters Twitch and Shimmy are fictional.

Beginnings:
Bent and Portz met each other in March 2006 in a class taught by Charlie Todd (founder of Improv Everywhere) at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Let Me Tell You Something is their first official collaboration to be brought to public.

Challenges:
Kevin Allison (artistic director of the People's Improv Theater and former actor on MTV's The State) canceled their show citing i-calendar difficulties. These problems forced him to cancel several other shows as well. Despite this, "Let Me Tell You Something" remained listed in various New York publications such as Time Out New York. Fans of the program were dismayed and voiced their concern. Nevertheless, a large turnout ensued at subsequent events. One such instance, which took place in a private home in the Lower East Side, drew police officials who claimed the performers were violating noise pollution laws.

Present:
Bent and Portz are currently working on a commission for Rúsínan í pylsuendanum a small, avant-garde theatre troupe in Iceland.

Influences: Bent and Portz cite the following artist as inluential to their creative development: Mike Daisey, Ruth Draper, Bill Cosby, Lily Tomlin, Sarah Jones, Spaulding Gray, Whoopie Goldberg, Mike Mahoney, Richard Jones, Chakakhan and Stevven Paeso Del.

Popular Quotes:
"Let me tell you something..!" -- Twitch and Shimmy Fairbanks "She's dead to us." -- Twitch and Shimmy on the topic of their ex-friend Nelly "We don't get out much." -- Twitch Fairbanks "I wouldn't do that!" -- Shimmy Fairbanks "Hold 'em tight" -- Shimmy Fairbanks "Kippy's taking care of business." --Twitch and Shimmy Fairbanks

Leanne Rivlin
Leanne Rivlin was an originator of the Environmental Psychology Doctoral Program at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York in the late 1960s. Part of a movement of interdisciplinary and action-oriented research, environmental psychology came into being at this time to study the relationships between people and the environment in the interests of positively influencing the design and use of the built environment. Joining the faculty in 1974 as an Associate Professor, Lee began her extraordinary career as an educator of doctoral students. Her work at the time focused on understanding how children’s environments affected their behavior and academic performance. As a primary or co-author on a number of seminal publications in the expanding field of environmental psychology, including its first subject-specific textbooks, Professor Rivlin helped to lay the foundation for an interdisciplinary field that continues to thrive internationally. Leanne became a full Professor in 1985, as her research shifted to address the life of public spaces, the pressing issues of homelessness, and everyday practices of community making. She also began to write about research ethics and to address the practical, political, and ethical concerns raised by environmental social science field research. More recently she has developed a body of work on sociospatial conflict at all scales. In each of these broad areas, Professor Leanne Rivlin has made profound and lasting contributions to the field.

Sri Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman
Sri Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman is the foremost master of the Mridangam, a specialized drum in the Carnatic tradition. Born on December 17, 1935, he is the son of Dr P. Kasiviswanatha Iyer and Smt Kamalambal. His father, a medical practitioner and himself an accomplished musician, nurtured the inborn talents of his son and got him rightly initiated into mrudangam through the gurukula discipline under scholarly practitioners.

Sri Sivaraman learnt his art under four great masters: Sri Arupathi Natesa Iyer, Sri Tanjavoor Vaidyanatha Iyer, Sri Palghat Mani Iyer and Sri Kumbakonam Rangu Iyengar. He studied at least fifteen years under the gurukula system. He is a double graduate of The University of Madras (B.A., B.L.), with a law degree as well.

Childhood Even as a three year old kid, Sivaraman revealed his ‘laya sense’ playing his fingers on whatever objects they chanced to touch upon and producing diverse ‘talas.’ Such an act fetched him the gift of a kanjira from his grandmother. As a boy of ten, Sivaraman had his ‘arangetram’ (first concert) and the debut was held in the precincts of Kalahastheeswaraswami temple in the temple town of Kumbakonam.

His new techniques, innovations and creative ability in accompaniment, solo renditions, and jugalbandhi programmes with his North Indian counterparts have earned him a special place in the world of art. Having made his debut at the age of ten, Sivaraman has been in the field for half a century now, accompanying a galaxy of maestros of recent past and artistes of great merit today, both vocal and instrumental.

He has provided accompaniment to a legion of musical maestros in Carnatic music – Sri Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Sri Musiri Subramania Iyer, Sri Palladam Sanjeeva Rao, Sri Mysore Chowdiah, Sri Rajamanickam Pillai, Sri Papa Venkataramiah, Sri Dwaram Venkataswami Naidu, Sri Mudikondan Venkatarama Iyer, Sri G. N. Balasubramaniam, Sri Madurai Mani Iyer, Sri Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer, Sri Alathur Brothers, Sri Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Dr Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, Dr M. Balamuralikrishna, Sri Nedunuri Krishnamurthi, Sri Voleti Venkateswarulu, Sri S. Balachander, Sri T.R. Mahalingam, etc. He has to his credit several jugalbandhi concerts with the top artistes of Hindustani music like Pt. Ravishankar, Sri Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt. Ram Narain and top tabla artistes like Pt. Kishen Maharaj, Pt. Samta Prasad, Ustad Allah Rakha, Mr. Zakhir Hussain and others.

RESEARCH Besides his professional career, he had done original research in the art of mrudangam. This resulted in his lecture demonstrations, which enabled him to disseminate knowledge of this art to art lovers, music conferences, music seminars and the like. He is the only mrudangam vidwan who has taught the techniques and nuances of mrudangam for more than two decades. He has introduced the fibre glass mrudangam to Carnatic music for the first time, improvised a mechanical jig to eliminate human error in the moulding of skins for both sides of the instrument and has done research work on tanned and untanned skins for the mrudangam. His analysis of the ingredients of the black patch has given much insight on the overtones produced by different strokes on the mrudangam.

ARTICLES Sri Sivaraman has contributed informative articles on mrudangam in Sri Shanmukhananda Sabha's (Bombay) Journal, Bhavan's Journal; Vadya Kala - a publication of the Development Centre for Musical Instruments, Madras (Ministry of Commerce - Handicrafts, Govt. of India) and to several other journals and publications.

RECORDINGS He has played mrudangam in several professional recordings and in the special feature 'The Drums of India', in the United States. He has also planned and played in the cassette ‘Garland of Rhythm’ which has given a new dimension to the concept of thani avarthanam (mrudangam solo).

CONCERTS He played Tala Vadya Kutcheri-s in the Annual Film Fare festival in 1973 and 1975. He also participated in the ‘Tala Vadya Utsav’ at New Delhi in 1985 and played a jugalbandhi concert. He played mrudangam in a special programme known as ‘Mrudangam Drum Set Jugalbandhi’ in Max Muller Bhavan, Madras, along with two leading drummers from West Germany. He has served as a judge in the panel constituted by the Ministry of Education and Culture, Government of India. He has served as a judge in the All India Radio panel, for selection of artists. He was invited to play mrudangam in the popular and successful Tamil movie 'Mrudanga Chakravarthy'. He has gone abroad several times on concert tours and special programmes. He has visited the USSR, USA, Canada, UK, France, West Germany, East Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Bangkok, Ceylon, Muscat, Bahrain, Australia, etc. In his visit to the U.K., he participated in the Tala Vadya Kutcheri for the Festival of India, 1982, and again for the same festival in New York and Washington D.C., U.S.A., in 1985. He has also been invited to perform concerts and jazz concerts in Sri Lanka and Belgium.

AWARDS, POSITIONS Sri Sivaraman is a ‘A’ Top Grade artiste in All India Radio and Doordarshan Television. He has presided over the Annual Music Conference of the Indian Fine Arts Society, Madras, in 1984 and was conferred the title of Sangeetha Kala Sikhamani. When Sri Sivaraman completed 50 years of service to Carnatic music in 1996, His Excellency Shri K. R. Narayanan, Vice-President of India, honoured Sivaraman at a public function held at Madras on 10th March 1996.

INNOVATIONS His innovations include analysis of the ingredients of the black patch on the right side of the mrudangam, on the overtones produced from the right side drum head, synthesis of the traditional and the modern approaches in playing on the instrument, research in using tanned and untanned skins and hides of the instrument, evolving new patterns of rhythmic designs (mora-s and korvai-s), has improvised and is using a mechanical contrivance to eliminate human error in the moulding skins for mrudangam on both sides and he has made a fibre glass mrudangam and used it in concerts.

Goth Lyfe
Goth Lyfe is an comedy series created completely using flash. It made its first appearance on July 1st, 2006. From humble beginnings it has become quite a cult classic amoung those who have heard of it. The series focuses on stereotypes and common misconceptions the public has with Goths, as well as other groups like Preps, Jocks, Nerds,and Emos. The humour lies within the unrealistic portrayal of Goths and the other stereotypes mentioned and each episode seems to play on the episode that preceeded it.

Season 1
Season 1 refers to the first ten episodes of the show. The storyline continues throughout the ten episodes and the events revolve around the main characters, Scepter and Mace, teaching the new kid, Todd Todderson, how to be Goth.

Season 2
Season 2 (episodes 11-20) focuses on a new Goth kid that appears, Spear. He seems friendly at first but soon it is obvious that he is trying to replace Scepter of the main character. The events that follow are the premise for the set of episodes.

Differences between Seasons
Season 1 is a series of linking episodes that share a common plot. The final episode of the first season (Episode 10) concludes the Goth Gotherson plot and provides a moral relating to being who you are and not limiting friendship to "the labels given to us by society".

Season 2 also follows its own storyline focusing on Scepter's obsession with being considered Goth as well side-plots like Roger's on-going attempts to be Goth and Courtney's obsession with baby seals.

The most notable difference is the inclusion of secret endings after the credits in every episode of Season 2 (and the teaser in the final episode of the first season.

Main Characters
These are the six characters that appear in the intro portion of every episode. Scepter is the main character, he has appeared in every episode to date. He can be harsh at times and can be very short-tempered especially when his "gothness" is in question. Mace is Scepter's best friend, appearing in every episode with the exception of episode 3. He is much kinder than Scepter but has been known to have lapses in intelligence. Misery has had the least time on camera. Her most dominant attribute her lack of speaking. Though the other characters claim to have heard her speak, she has never made a sound on camera. (with the exception of episode 10, where she appeared in her "Non-Goth" form. Todd's happy-go-lucky personality makes him the worst candidate for a "Goth Makeover" but he decides to go along with the transformation, giving him a dominating role in many episodes. Courtney first appeared as the organizer for the school's spirit week. After a failed attempt to recruit Todd into a preppy follower, she decides to closer examine the Goths and possibly get them kicked out of the school. In her more recent role, she appears more friendly and is more concerned with Activism than school spirit. Often shunned for his "nerdy behaviour", Roger aides Courtney with her plans against the Goths, In more recent times, he has tried to win over the Goths and even "join their crew".
