Temple City is a small city sandwiched between Arcadia , San Gabriel ,Rosemead and San Marino, you can literally walk from one end to the other in an hour.
There are three elementary schools : La Rosa , Cloverly and Longden. There is only one middle school and one highschool : Oak Ave and Temple City High School ,respectively.
TCHS is definitely overcrowded and like every other neighboring city , it's being overrun by Asians.
At TCHS, lunch is only 34 minutes, freshmen need to stop PDA'ing and it's overcrowded.
TCHS is part of the Rio Hondo League which consists of Blair ,South Pasadena, La Canada , Monrovia and San Marino. The Arcadia Apaches are supposedly our rivals, although they aren't even in our league. Probably a football thing , whatever.
Las Tunas Dr. ( the main street ) is overrun by bridal shops , which carries the myth that they used to be prostitution houses. true or not? no idea.

mormon temple

A very architecturally beautiful building both inside and out, built using faithful mormon's money. The atmosphere is similar to a library's. The temple is considered the holiest place on earth for mormons, and as God's house on earth. It is here that they perform "the ordinances of salvation" for both the dead and the living. The ordinances performed are the following:

1. Baptisms for the dead

2. Ordaining to the priesthood for men who died without receiving it

3. Confirmations for the dead, where a proxy is "confirmed" a member of the mormon church, and given the gift of the holy ghost

4. Washing and anointings for both the living and the dead

5. The endowment for both the living and the dead. Basically a "christianized" version of masonic ceremonies, modified by mormonism's founder Joseph Smith, who himself was a free mason.

6. Sealings (aka Eternal Marriage) for both the dead and the living

7. The second anointing. Most mormons don't even know about this ceremony, and as far as I know it's only performed at a certain few of the larger temples. It consists of two parts - one performed in the temple, and one performed by the married couple in their own home. They are sealed up unto heaven for their righteousness.

So, to sum everything up, temples are beautiful buildings, wherein strange symbolic rituals are performed to guarantee your salvation.

Temporary Distraction Measure

A Temporary Distraction Measure or TDM for short is the basis of modern politics and business. Anytime a politician forms a committee to 'look into' something it is nothing but a ruse intended to temporarily distract the voting public long enough for them to forget all about it.
Anything (Committee, poll, vote, investigation, senate hearing, etc) that can be used to successfully distract people from issues that they were formally concerned about long enough for them to forget completely about it.

Anything that makes you (the voter) think we (politicians) are doing something about it when we're really not.
E.X. Senate Democrats hold hearings to investigate windfall profits generated by the obscene price of oil.

Two weeks later, the American public will have forgotten all about it and will rest content that the government is doing it's job. Hence, it was a successful Temporary Distraction Measure.

E.X. During the Senate hearing over whether to clarify net neutrality, the Senators rambled on for a few weeks until another celebrity got knocked up and everybody that was wanting it codified, forgot all about it.

temporary pull-up

The act of loosely raising one’s pants, capris, or shorts, along with any undergarments, in order to switch stalls in an empty public restroom due to the absence of toilet paper in the original stall.
