Seeing as I'm the current webmistress for the Golden Toads (we take 
turns), I'd better explain that little issue on the site...what 
happens is that in very rapid succession, a) we realized that we 
needed to extend the nominations period, b) I fell into a month-long 
Homework Marathon, c) Flourish fell into a Homework Marathon. So we 
were only updating the parts that were really necessary (and assumed 
that people would realize that they should be ignoring the marked 
dates if the polls were up and working). Anyway, as of Saturday I 
have three weeks of near freedom (but first I have to get through a 
Biology lab, a Biology essay, an English essay on a Ted Hughes poem, 
and a History essay plan - how did you adults get through high 
school, huh? Much less *college*!), so I'm going to fix the site a 
bit. The polls will be open for a few more weeks, exact dates will go 
up soon.

Just thought I'd fight free of my computer exile long enough to say 
that.
