Kim Kardashian may not be an expert in riding after all.
The reality star lost control while riding a bike during a photoshoot and hit a wall, leading to her lying sprawled on the floor.
The crash might have been staged though, as the camera men were quite content to take photos rather than help her up.
Check out photos below.

Co-Op Contract Reprieves ABC Family
ABC Family, which was dropped by a tiny North Carolina cable system early this year, will be reinstated, as it has successfully argued that the operator remains bound by a master-carriage deal negotiated by the National Cable Television Cooperative.
Bellhaven Cable TV, a system with about 800 subscribers in Bellhaven, N.C., removed ABC Family from its programming lineup in late January, sources said last week.
Serving the Outer Banks community, Bellhaven Cable is a member of the NCTC, which was thrust into the dispute. The cooperative represents small- and medium-sized cable operators that collectively reach about 14.5 million subscribers.
The NCTC secures contracts for programming and hardware, negotiating on behalf of its small members as a group to obtain volume discounts in the way large MSOs do.
The cooperative has a long-term affiliation deal with ABC Family, and officials at the network had reportedly maintained that as an NCTC member, Bellhaven Cable was bound by that agreement, and therefore contractually couldn't drop The Walt Disney Co.-owned network.
In this situation, the NCTC reportedly agreed with ABC Family's position — namely that co-op members who "elect into" one of its master carriage deals must abide by that contract until it expires.
The issue had surfaced before. One NCTC member had contemplated dropping ESPN Classic, even though the co-op has a long-term carriage deal for the retro sports service, according to a source.
A settlement was eventually worked out between Bellhaven, the NCTC and ABC Family. As a result, the tiny cable system will put ABC Family back on, although the exact timing of its reinstatement wasn't disclosed.
Officials at Bellhaven couldn't be reached for comment, but NCTC senior vice president of programming Frank Hughes confirmed that ABC Family will be reinstated on that North Carolina system in the not-too-distant future.
"It is resolved," Hughes said. "We've worked it all out. They're going to put it back on."
Officials at ABC Family said the terms of the dispute's resolution were confidential, but the programmer did issue a brief statement.
"There was an issue regarding Bellhaven carriage of ABC Family," said ABC Cable Networks Group a[te sales and marketing Ben Pyne. "Working with the NCTC and Bellhaven, we have resolved our issue in a way that benefits all parties."
By dropping ABC Family, Bellhaven was reportedly looking to penalize Disney for increasing ESPN's rates. It also concerned about the network's change in ownership last year.
Earlier this year, citing similar reasons, EchoStar Communications Corp. dropped ESPN Classic from its Dish Network programming roster and threatened to drop ABC Family. Disney quickly went to court and sued the direct-broadcast satellite provider, and the conflict was resolved, with both services remaining on EchoStar's lineup.

Questions About Male Enhancement Treatments?
Looking for the Best Male Enhancement Treatments?
Looking for the best male enhancement treatments available? Well, most products you see on TV claiming that they offer male enhancement are not FDA-approved and not proven to help you have lasting erections. At Boston Medical Group, we offer intracavernous pharmacotherapy or ICP one of the best male enhancement solutions available.
Why is ICP the best male enhancement treatment?
• A study by the The World Journal of Urology found that ICP can improve the sexual function in 81.6% of those with vascular impotence (blood flow-related) and 100% of patients with psychogenic (psychological) ED.
• It can help men last for up to an hour. ICP erections do not subside after ejaculation, only after the medication has worn off.
• It's fast-acting! ICP injections can have men ready for sex in as little as five minutes.
Why bother with male enhancement pills when you can get real, FDA-approved treatments prescribed by actual doctors at Boston Medical group? Call us today at 877-697-7994 to get the best male enhancement treatments available.

The purpose of this session is to discuss correlation of results of image guided breast biopsy with imaging findings to determine concordance, including management of high-risk lesions. The emphasis will be on clinical knowledge since radiologists play a key role in determining the adequacy and management of image guided breast biopsy results. Ensuring that the imaging findings are adequately explained is the first and most important step. While the management of atypia is not controversial, management of other high risk lesions obtained on core biopsy may have several options if close radiologic-pathologic correlation is performed. Developed in conjunction with the American Institute for Radologic Pathology

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Hella Flush VI, JDM, Miami, RSX, Strasse Forged, Sunworks
I was highly disappointed after hearing that Hella Flush 6 was coming to Florida that it would be in Miami, certainly I hoped that Orlando would be the chosen site simply because of its central location and huge draw. Either way the event occurred in Miami in conjunction with Remix which i was also not thrilled about, I have always enjoyed the groundswell that is Hella Flush but was not impressed that it would be limited to 150 cars and that it would be tagged onto an event that catered primarily to the Lowrider and Donk community, certainly both of those styles of car customization bring a lot to the table but I felt like it muddied the organic and real nature of a true Hella Flush event. None the less the car show appears to be a huge success although i did not stick around in Miami to witness it first hand… I had to much work to get done to spend an extra day in MIA.
There was no shortness of amazing cars or people to the event
this tC is simply clean with great fitment and sporting a ton of stickers
look at the customized Scion logo
the Honda was a beast and god only knows the stupid HP this cranks out

1st. Tanner Foust
2nd. Ryan Tuerck
3rd. Darren McNamara
There was no lack of excitement at Evergreen speedway once the top 32 were determined. There were several wrecks throughout the afternoon including some guys powering right thru other drivers as they approached the power alley. Vaughn Gittin Jr found himself knocked out early by Fredric Aasbo in the round of 16 allowing several guys to try to make up ground in the race for the championship. Tanner Foust looked pretty much unstoppable all afternoon dominating guys as he reeled them in almost ever time. The judges gave him several one more times to contend with when i felt like he was a pretty clear cut winner but by the end of the day it was pretty undeniable he was the man to beat.

How to control eprint workflow based on a user field
NOTE: This has been written based on my experience of an EPrints 3.3.10 install.
What I was trying to achieve
We have many 'collections'. Each EPrint belongs to one collection.
Users can only deposit items into specific collections.
How do I control the EPrint workflow to only show the collections that a user can deposit into?
How I did it
Configuration of metafields
- Create a namedset with the collections in it:
# A list of collections - remember to add the relevant phrases!
- Add the metafield to both the eprint and the user. This can be done in a few different ways, this is one:
Edit ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl, adding:
{ name => 'collection', type => 'namedset', set_name => "collections", },
Edit ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/user_fields.pl, adding:
{ name => 'collection', type => 'namedset', set_name => "collections", multiple => 1, #Allows a user to have rights to more than one collection },
Add to user workflow
Edit ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/workflows/user/default.xml. We only want admin staff to be able to assign collections, so the field is added to the 'usertype' stage:
<stage name="usertype"> <component><field ref="usertype"/></component> <component><field ref="username"/></component> <component><field ref="collection"/></component> <component><field ref="roles"/></component> </stage>
This allows one or more collections to be assigned to a user.
Add to EPrint workflow
To render only the collections that have been assigned to a user, we need to get the 'collection's from the owning user, join them into a comma-separated string and use that as the 'options' for the eprint collection field.
<component><field ref="collection" options="{join($item{userid}.as_item(){collection},',')}"/></component>
We could also have used $current_user - which would be OK if the $current_user will have rights to more collections than the owning user.
Update database and restart webserver
Update the database how you normally do it (web interface or commandline) and reload the server config. Test it works :o)
Adding a default
If a user has no collections assigned in their profile, what should happen? We could either:
- always set a default collection in user_fields_default.pl
- use eprint_fields_default.pl to set a default collection for the eprint.
$c->{set_eprint_defaults} = sub { my( $data, $repository ) = @_; my $user = $repository->current_user(); if( defined $user && $user->is_set( "collection" ) ) { my $collections = $user->get_value( "collection" ); if( scalar @$collections == 1 ){ $data->{collection} = @$collections[0]; #We may also want to set some default metadata on items in this collection? #Do it here - as we know we've got one collection! if( $data->{collection} eq 'university_newspapers' ){ $data->{type} = "newspaper"; ... } } } }
If a user only has access to one collection, the value should be set automatically and the field not shown in the workflow.
<flow> <epc:choose> <epc:when test="$STAFF_ONLY = 'TRUE'"> <!-- Allow editors to choose any collection --> <stage ref="collection"/> </epc:when> <epc:otherwise test="length( $item{userid}.as_item(){collection} ) gt 1"> <!-- If someone has access to more than one collection, offer their collections --> <stage ref="collection"/> </epc:otherwise> </epc:choose> ... </flow> <stage name="collection"> <epc:if test="$STAFF_ONLY = 'TRUE'"> <component><field ref="collection" required="yes" /></component> </epc:if> <epc:if test="$STAFF_ONLY != 'TRUE'"> <component><field ref="collection" required="yes" options="{join($item{userid}.as_item(){collection},',')}"/></component> </epc:if> </stage>

text: Today data and analytics wave has replaced the HR and people management. Human resources are one of the most data rich functions in most business. Earlier the data were mostly ignored or just kept in tables and charts but now data analysis has used such data and helped predicting when will employees leave, from where they can grab most suitable candidates and how to identify and retain most talented employees. HR departments are now crunching their data and easily taking decisions for recruitment. Earlier it was not so easy for HR's to look around the globe for hiring but now they can do just by sitting in a room, analyzing data without looking at the globe.

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: Why no screen upgrade? Edge 1040 coming in 2021?
Garmin's previous top-end cycling computer, the Edge 1030, was released in late 2017, so it's no surprise that they announced an updated version in June 2020, the Edge 1030 Plus. I was expecting more from the new model including a better screen, but this suggests that the real update, possibly called the Edge 1040 or 1200, should arrive in 2021, so I recommend waiting if you don't have an immediate need for a top-end unit with an extra-large screen.Read more →

After well over a decade of waiting, fans of the classic series The Wonder Years can finally enjoy every episode of the series on DVD. StarVista's release of The Wonder Years - The Complete Series (along with their release of season 1 and a set containing season 1-3) finally gives fans what they've been waiting to see on DVD. For those unfamiliar with the series, it was a comedy-drama that aired on ABC in the late 80s and early 90s, and followed middle school (and later high school) kid Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) and his life as he grew up in the late 60s and early 70s. It wasn't the best of times, as the whole world around him was going through a cultural change. At home, he had his parents Jack and Norma Arnold (Dan Lauria and Alley Mills), brother Wayne Arnold (Jason Hervey), and sister Karen Arnold (Olivia d'Abo). There was also his best friend Paul Pfeiffer (Josh Saviano) and on-and-off childhood sweetheart, Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar). The series was an anthology that followed through that normal family life, and all of the cultural wars that defined that period of time. The series premiered on ABC after the Super Bowl in 1988, making it one of the first true post-Super Bowl events (and a successful one at that), and ran for six seasons. It went above and beyond to fit in to the era in which the series was to take place, complete with all of the great music of the late 60s and early 70s. In fact, there were over 300 songs included on the series, which made the series a challenge to put on DVD... until now.
This technically isn't the first time that the series has been on DVD. In fact, The Wonder Years was actually one of the first TV series to ever appear on DVD with two single episode releases back in 1998, complete with bad music substitutions. Those discs arrived before most people were even into TV-on-DVD (and many didn't even own DVD players yet and still relied on VCRs). Those DVDs went out of print and in 2006 (eight years later), Fox began to discuss putting it out on DVD. Those plans never panned out, and now, finally, eight years after those plans (and an astonishing sixteen years after the first releases), one of the most awaited TV series ever is finally complete on DVD. Even better, the complete series comes complete with almost every song ever included in the series, with less than 5% of the songs not being able to be cleared for the release.
As we normally do with complete series releases, we won't talk about all of the episodes, but instead focus on some of the highlight episodes from each season.
The first season was a short season and only contained six episodes, but many of them were very memorable episodes. In the "Pilot" episode, we get to see Kevin start junior high school, and also see him hoping to have his first kiss with Winnie, the quintessential girl next door. But things don't go so well when news arrives that Winnie's brother was just killed in Vietnam. Kevin just wants to know what his father does at work every day in "My Father's Office." The season ends with "The Phone Call" and "Dance With Me," where Kevin is trying to get the courage to ask a girl for a date... but the girl isn't Winnie.
In the second season, Kevin takes a sudden interest in theater in "Our Miss White," but really he is just taking an interest in the theater teacher, Miss White. We get to find out who "likes likes" who (and who is going to get punched in the face) in "Just Between Me and You and Kirk and Paul and Carla and Becky." Norma takes up pottery in "Pottery Will Get You Nowhere," and Jack isn't pleased. Kevin is on the student council as they consider a walkout over Vietnam in "Walk Out." In "Birthday Boy," Paul is about to have a bar mitzvah, which causes a conflict when it is discovered it is to take place on the same day as Kevin's birthday party. Kevin, Paul, and Winnie try to save the place where Kevin and Winnie shared their first kiss in "Who's Woods Are These?"
The third season has a story arc that spans throughout the season involving a special math teacher, with the episodes "Math Class," "Math Class Squared," and "Goodbye." Wayne gets his driver�s license in "Wayne on Wheels." In "Rock 'n' Roll," Kevin gets inspired to join a rock band. Kevin's nightmare, Becky Slater, returns in "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre." In "Cocoa and Sympathy," Paul develops a crush, but it happens to be on Kevin's mom. The season ends with "Moving," where changes in Winnie's life could mean an end to any potential relationship with Kevin.
In the fourth season, Kevin enters the ninth grade in "Ninth Grade Man." Kevin ends up taking Paul's sister to cotillion in "Little Debbie." In "A Very Cutlip Christmas," Kevin learns that there is a lot more to his PE teacher than meets the eye when he sees him working as Santa Claus at the mall. Becky Slater returns to run against Kevin for student body president in "The Candidate." In "Heartbreak," Kevin and Winnie end up on a field trip together when both of their schools go to the same museum, but it isn't all good news. Karen has a new roommate in "The House the Jack Built," but Jack isn't quite pleased with who it is. Kevin finally leaves junior high in "Graduation," and changes are certain to be ahead.
In season five, Kevin starts high school in "Day One," and naturally, it doesn't all go well. Kevin unintentionally moons his own parents in "Full Moon Rising." Kevin has a very special teacher at school that does things unconventionally in "Kodachrome," but will she seriously get away with not giving students grades? Wayne wants to drop out of school and join the military in "Private Butthead." A double date involving Kevin and his date and Winnie and her date may make things turn out better for everybody in "Double Double Date." Paul skips an R-rated move for an R-rated experience in "Carnal Knowledge." In "The Lost Weekend," Kevin hosts a poker game while his parents are away, which quickly turns into the party of the year. Karen and Michael take their relationship to the next level in "The Wedding."
The sixth (and final) season begins with "Homecoming," where Wayne's friend Wart returns from Vietnam, but things aren't quite the same as he returns. Kevin spreads a rumor about something that he did (or technically didn't) do with Winnie in "White Lies." Kevin will do anything to see The Rolling Stones in "Ladies and Gentlemen... The Rolling Stones." In "Poker," it is discovered that all of the guys are dealing with some serious issues in their personal life. The series ends with the two-part episode, "Summer" and "Independence Day," where a lot (perhaps too much) is revealed about the future.
The episodes on the set all seem to be unedited, and StarVista claims that they are as well. We have no reason to not believe that. There are some very minor musical edits, but a majority of the music is included. Some of the artists not included (as announced by the studio) are The Doors, Blood Sweat and Tears, Neil Young, Richie Havens, Liberace, and Al Green. Everything else, though, is included... or so we're told (and we have no reason to doubt that). Runtimes for episodes are as follows.

The packaging on this set is a bit of a mixed blessing. It definitely "wins" as one of the most creative and coolest DVD packages ever. The set comes packaged in an almond colored miniature locker (it is actually made out of metal) with the series logo on the front of the locker. When you open the door to the locker, you'll find two "binders" and a yearbook inside. The first binder contains all of the episodes from seasons 1-3, and the second binder contains all of the episodes from seasons 4-6. This is where the slight problem comes in. These binders have the DVDs tightly packed into these cardboard sleeves, from which it is very difficult to actually remove the discs. My fear is that these will become scratched very easily with this packaging. Normal DVD cases would have been a way to get around this problem, but that wouldn't have been quite as "unique" either. Still, I believe that they could have figured out some better solution besides this. I will likely be removing the discs from this packaging and putting them in the locker in a more "secure" way to preserve them long-term. Inside each binder, you'll also find a nice episode guide in what appears to be a composition book (there are two for the set in total, one for seasons 1-3 and another for seasons 4-6). It does have the standard stuff included in an episode guide, such as original airdates, episode descriptions, and even popular songs played in the episodes, but it even goes a bit beyond that by including trivia, notes from the cast and crew, current events (from the time that each episode was set), and much more. It's definitely worth looking through each detail in these episode guides. The yearbook is a hardcover book full of photos from the series, organized just like a real high school yearbook (except it is only about 60 pages). The yearbook even has "autographs" from the cast and crew of the show. It's a very nice feature. Finally, there is one other small thing included with the standard set: a set of magnets related to the series.
Menu Design and Navigation:
The menus on the set are very nicely done, with the theme song playing on the main menu along with video clips from the episodes in the season. Main menu has options of Play All and Episodes, as well as Bonus Features on the last disc of each season. Selecting Episodes takes you to a list of all of the episodes on the disc. The original airdates for each episode are also found on this menu. Once you select an episode, it plays right away. There are chapters at all of the appropriate places throughout each episode.
Video and Audio Quality:
This set is almost perfect in all regards... except the video quality. That isn't to say that the video quality is bad, but it could not by any means be described as perfect. In particular, the early episodes look a bit grainy and soft, and these minor issues cut across all six seasons. But beyond that, everything looks fine, it just seems as if little (if any) remastering was done with the series. The audio on the set is fine (a standard late 80s/early 90s stereo track), and doesn't seem to present any issues.
Special Features:
There are a ton of special features on the set, and most of them are some form of an interview. We'll go through all of them here... prepare to be reading for a while!
Special features on the first season begin with "A Wonderful Day: Highlights from Cast Reunion" (20:24) is a cast interview that was done with most of the cast in May 2014 in Los Angeles. Here, we have Fred Savage, Danica McKellar, Josh Saviano, Alley Mills, Jason Hervey, and Olivia d'Abo. The only one missing here is Dan Lauria. It's worth noting that Olivia d'Abo's voice that you'll hear on this special feature (and all others on the DVD set) is nothing like the voice of her character on the series. In fact, as she mentions, she had to fake her voice for the series, as her natural voice is a very British accent. My suggestion would be to skip this, as it is just clips of what can be found on the complete series bonus discs... I think that this is intended more for the individual first season release, to entice those people to upgrade to the complete series.
"With a Little Help from My Friends: The Early Days of Wonder Years" (24:36) is, as the title suggests, a look back at the early seasons of the series. All of the cast members are interviewed here, as well as Robert Picardo (who played Coach Ed Cutlip) Some of the interviews here are with the people working behind-the-scenes, such as Neal Marlens, Carol Black, Daniel Stern, Alicia Alexander (location manager), Mahaila McKellar (Danica McKellar's mother), and W.G. "Snuffy" Walden (who composed that familiar tune that was always heard anytime Winnie appeared).
The season one special features end with a series of individual interviews, with creators Neal Marlens and Carol Black (33:55), Fred Savage (29:25), Danica McKellar (12:17), and Josh Saviano (21:35). These are strictly straightforward interview with no filler such as episode clips or other people chiming in.
Onto the second, we begin with "School Days: Roundtable with Danica McKellar, Fred Savage, and Josh Saviano" (7:52). Here, they talked about all of the scenes that they had to shoot at school, which were actually shot in real schools, and also how the three friends on the series were rarely ever in the same class together.
"The Times They Are A-Changin': The Era" (23:46) brings together the cast and crew together to talk about the actual era of the series. While it is mostly the usual people talking as included in the other interviews, one surprise guest does pop up in this interview, Seth Green (who played Jimmy Donnelly on the series).
Finally, there are some more straightforward interviews to be found in season two, this time with Daniel Stern (31:00), Dan Lauria (20:44), and Alley Mills (33:35).
On season three, special features begin with "Hall Pass: Roundtable with Danica McKellar, Fred Savage, and Josh Saviano" (7:54) is another interview feature with just those three cast members, mostly talking about the series in general... as well as addressing the issue of "did they or didn't they" with Kevin and Winnie.
"A Family Affair: At Home with the Arnolds" (26:34) talks a lot about the family dynamics of the series, and of course, it includes interviews with all of the family cast members. Additionally, there are interviews with crew members such as David Stern and Michael Dinner.
Season three has even more individual interviews: this time, it's Olivia d'Abo (33:35), Jason Hervey (23:32), Danica McKellar (15:59), and Crystal McKellar (20:54). I really enjoy listening to the Olivia d'Abo interview, as she talks about how she had to change everything about who she was before she even went in to her audition, including changing her clothing style, getting hair extensions, adjusting her accent, and more.
In season four, we begin with "ABC: Teachers That Made a Difference" (36:22), which talks about all of the teachers from the series, in particular Miss White (later Mrs. Hymer), Coach Cutlip, Mr. Collins, and Mr. Cantwell. We have cast and crew interviews here, along with interviews from many of the teachers: Robert Picardo (Coach Cutlip), Wendel Meldrum (Ms. White), and Ben Stein (Mr. Cantwell). This is one of my favorite special features here, although it's too bad that they couldn't get Steven Gilborn (who played Mr. Collins) to do an interview, as Gilborn died about five years ago. Of all of the teachers, he had one of the most instrumental roles on the series.
There are some more interviews to be found on the fourth season, most focusing on the teachers. Once again, we have Fred Savage (21:21), but we also have Robert Picardo (37:38), Ben Stein (15:09), and Wendel Meldrum (12:38).
Season five special features begin with "That's a Wrap! Mark B. Perry's Farewell Set Tour" (3:58), which is some of the rare archival footage found on the set. This is just a home video that takes us on a tour of the set, particularly the school and the Arnold family house. It's a very nice feature, though, because it is very rare that we actually get to see what the set looks like. Perry gives some light commentary background to this. This one is short, but very enjoyable.
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow: The Wonder Years' Love Stories" (26:04) talks about all of the romances on the series. While most of it is the usual cast and crew, one familiar face from the series who was more of a (very rarely) recurring character pops up here: David Schwimmer, who played Michael (he played Karen's boyfriend and eventually husband on the series).
Of course, season five ends with more one-on-one interviews, and this time, we have Olivia d'Abo (35:38) and David Schwimmer (40:08). It is nice to see David Schwimmer have such a long interview, particularly considering that his role in the series wasn't really that huge (he definitely spoke more in the interview than he ever did on the show) and the fact that he did go on to do something that actually WAS very huge.
Season six special features kick off with the original one hour ABC broadcast of the final episode (47:51). It's not really much different from the other version seen on the set. "At Last: The Final Episode" (16:19) is a cast and crew interview where everybody discusses the final episode.
"From the Vault: Alley Mills and Bob Brush Letters" (4:40) is a sort of interesting special feature that acknowledges some slight behind-the-scenes conflicts on the series (but more specifically how everything worked itself out). In particular, it discusses how Alley Mills was initially not exactly pleased with the way that the series ended so abruptly. This whole feature is just Alley Mills sitting on in a studio reading those letters.
There is also a one-on-one interviews to be found on season six, with executive producer Bob Brush (54:52)
There are four discs with nothing but special features included on the set. The first of these begins with "16 Years Later: The Wonder Years Cast Reunion" (51:55). As previously mentioned, this is just the full version of the reunion included among the first season special features.
"Pilot Episode Outtakes: The First Kiss" (19:44) is a very long series of outtakes of that first kiss between Kevin and Winnie from the pilot episode. The video quality here is VHS quality, but that is to be expected from outtakes. The outtakes do have commentary from Danica McKellar and Fred Savage.
"When a Man Loves a Woman: Kevin & Winnie Forever" (29:54) is a cast and crew interview that talks about the relationship between Kevin and Winnie, and how it progressed over the series. The usual people are interviewed here.
The first bonus disc ends with even more one-on-one interviews. This time, we have Neal Marlens and Carol Black (30:36), Dan Lauria (22:18), and Alley Mills (23:30).
On the second bonus disc, we have "Have a Neat Summer: The Wonder Years Cast Reunion" (18:27), which is from the May 2014 reunion. In this one, they talk about growing up (in real life) and favorite episodes of the series.
"My Generation: The Kids Grow Up" (29:47) is another series of cast and crew interviews that talks about how everybody grew up as the show progressed.
The second bonus ends with even more one-one-one interviews, this time with Josh Saviano (49:18), Jason Hervey (26:37), David M. Stern (36:03), and Bruce Nachbar (30:05).
Onto the third bonus disc, we begin with "Bookends: Kevin & Paul" (14:14), which takes a look into that friendship on the show, both on-screen and off-screen, with interviews from the cast and crew (including, of course, Fred Savage and Josh Saviano).
"Both Sides Now: The Music That Made the Moments" (17:59) is a feature that goes deep into what Jason Hervey actually refers to as another character on the show, the music. There are interviews with the cast and crew here, including many of the people who were involved with the music in the series.
The third bonus disc ends with the following interviews: Seth Green (9:36), producer Ken Topolsky (32:46), composer W.G. "Snuffy" Walden (18:04), TV critic David Bianculli (28:36), and director Michael Dinner (34:36).
The fourth bonus disc begins with a special feature dedicated to favorite episodes. "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons: Fan-Favorite Episodes" (22:07) talks about some of these episodes and gives (sort of) a commentary about these episodes from the cast and crew.
Of course, there are even more interviews to be found on the fourth bonus disc: this time, it is Daniel Stern (26:43), Mahaila McKellar (9:26), key grip Skip Cook (23:31), location manager Alicia Alexander (11:50), and writer/producer Mark B. Perry (52:05).
With all of those special features, there is one very minor complaint that I have about the special features. The interviews are great, and perhaps some of the most critical special features, and make no mistake, there are a ton of interviews here. But that's really all we have with respect to special features. It would have been nice to have had a little more diversity in these special features, such as original promos, outtakes (there were a few from the first episode, but that was it), and other things along those lines. Even episodic commentaries would have been nice for some of the critical episodes. Also, as is the case with many StarVista releases, there is definitely a lot of repetition in the interviews, as a lot of the "new" interviews from one feature to the next are just different cuts of other interviews found elsewhere on the set.
Final Comments:
2014 has been a surprisingly great year for TV on DVD. Fans of TV series on DVD will remember about 10 years ago when every studio was cranking out individual seasons of every series in their library, and then shortly abandoning the series after one or two seasons, leading some people to think the glory days of TV on DVD were over. Now, we're finally getting those shows completed (or in this case, one that was completely overlooked), and they are being done the right way. I would have never expected to see this series on DVD with almost all of the music intact. StarVista Entertainment has indisputably put out the best DVD release of the year with this release.
Even if the price on the set is a little steep, I think that fans are certain to appreciate the set. Of course, there is always the option to purchase one of the lower priced options, as we will also be seeing individual season sets (a set containing all of season 1 and seasons 1-3 in one package is already available), but this set is well worth every penny. This series has always been one of the most requested series on DVD, and I would imagine that there would have been some serious outrage if StarVista had cut corners. Even though a few songs are missing from the episodes, the overwhelming majority of songs are included, and it seems that the ones excluded were excluded for having extraordinary issues.
The question fans are probably asking now is "now what?" What is next for the series on home media? I think this set has definitively answered that question, and there really is nothing else needed. Blu-ray wouldn't really do much to improve this set, and they've made this set about 99% perfect. All in all, I think fans are going to appreciate this set. If you can't afford this big set, I'm sure that the individual seasons will be just as worthwhile (probably just without the four bonus discs that this set includes). In any event, we've gotten a series on DVD that some said we'd never get... and it's been done right.

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year. We are all looking forward to a successful school year with your child.
A little about myself: due to the difficulty in pronouncing my last name, I am known to the SJF students and to many of the parents as "Mrs. G." I live in Most Holy Redeemer parish and my husband and I have been blessed with three wonderful daughters.
This year will be my 20th year teaching at Saint John Fisher. I have taught different grades and various subjects throughout the years. I have enjoyed teaching religion in the Jr. High for the past ten years, watching our students grow both academically and spiritually.
I'm looking forward to an exciting school year with our Jr. High students and can't wait to see them on their first day of school, Wednesday, August 21st.
Christmas is almost here and we can feel it in the air! Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas and a happy and health New Year!

Carbondale's Miller Signs with Logan
May 1, 2015
Logan Media Services
CARTERVILLE – The John A. Logan College women's basketball team added some scoring punch Friday with the announced signing of Carbondale native, McKena Miller.
The 5-foot-9 shooting guard will be transferring to Logan this fall from the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL). With the Tritons, Miller saw limited action, appearing in only five games and averaging 1.6 points and rebounds per game. Her top game was a six-point effort against the University of Southern Indiana.
At Carbondale, Miller was one of the premier players in the state, averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.0 steals per game. For her efforts, she was named Associated Press Second Team All-State and Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Fourth Team All-State her senior year.
She was also "Player of the Year" for The Southern Illinoisan newspaper and a member of the 1,000-point club at Carbondale.
The Terriers were 21-8 her senior year; conference champs; regional champs; and sectional runner-up. Miller was twice named South Seven Conference "Player of the Year." She was also a three-year letter winner in volleyball and softball, earning All-Conference honors.
"I'm very excited to be back home," Miller said. "It will be a lot easier for my parents and friends to come and see me play. I'm looking forward to helping to create something special at Logan. I think, that with the players who are returning and those who Coach Shelby is recruiting, we will have a chance to be pretty good."
Shelby said she was happy that Miller picked Logan when transferring.
"We tried getting her out of high school, so we know what kind of player McKena is. Now, she has that experience of having played a full year at a four-year school. I fully expect McKena to be one of our team leaders this fall. She knows how to play. She shoots the ball well. She can handle the ball and she always plays hard."
Miller is Shelby's third signed recruit. Last month, she acquired Carbondale High senior Kaili Bacon and Elverado High senior Cheyenne Abbadusky.
McKena is the daughter of Jim and Becky Miller. She is majoring in nursing.
"We are a diverse learning and teaching community committed to improving individual life and society through high-quality, accessible educational programs and engaged learning opportunities."

Chiefs choose two players from Czech Republic
Tue., June 28, 2016
The Spokane Chiefs on Tuesday selected two players off the same team from the Czech Republic as part of the 2016 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft.
The Chiefs drafted Ondrej Najman (pronounced NY-man), a 6-foot-1, 187-pound forward, who was the leading scorer for the HC Dukla Jihlava team of the Czech U20 Extraliga. Najman scored 18 goals with 26 assists in 38 games.
"Najman is a skilled player with a heavy shot and good instincts," Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz said in a release. "He also has the size and strength to compete physically in our league."
The Chiefs also picked up Pavel Kousal (pronounced KOO-suhl), a 5-11, 158-pound forward, who scored 20 goals with 23 assists this past season for HC Dukla Jihlava.
"Kousal is a quick, tenacious forward with a lot of upside," Speltz said. "He produced at a high level offensively last season and works hard for the puck."
The two new draft picks will compete with current forward Dominic Zwerger, of Dornbirn, Austria, who led the Chiefs with 27 goals in 65 games last season. He also had 28 assists for 55 total points.
The Chiefs are only allowed to play with two import players once the season begins.

The government and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (IM) on Friday said their ongoing negotiations were on the right track and they were closer to a final settlement.
"We assure the people that the talks have been progressing in right direction with determination.
We are closer than ever before to the final settlement and hope to conclude it sooner than later, " said a joint communique from the NSCN (IM) and the government.
The communique was issued by R. N. Ravi, the Indian government interlocutor for the talks, and T. Muivah, General Secretary of the NSCN - IM.
"The political initiative of the government of India and NSCN(IM) to amicably resolve the Naga political issue has received a new urgency and impetus during the last two years, " it said.
"The talks have become more purposeful, less ritualistic, more forthright and far more frequent, " it said.
The communique added that in the last two years, both the parties had met more times than all the years before and this had helped build unprecedented mutual understanding and trust.
The communique admitted that the death of former chairman of NSCN(IM) Isak Chisi Swu had affected the talks.
The Naga Framework Agreement was inked between the government and the NSCN (IM) on August 3, 2015 with a view to end six decades of conflict in Nagaland.

Artsy, Coffee & Culture, is Kolkata's first art cafe serving great food and tasteful art, and it's our new favourite place to go.
Kolkata's First Art Cafe Is Here & It's Literally Picture Perfect
Getting There
Artsy is a little difficult to navigate. It's in a lane just off AJC Bose Road — the same one that houses Ashok Hall Girls School. Lucky for us, the Artsy people painted a couple of signs to help us navigate the way — keep an eye out for bright yellow Artsy paintings and it'll lead you straight to the doors of the cafe.
Picture Perfect
The spacious art-gallery-cum-cafe is literally picture perfect! There's a blue-and-yellow tone tone running through it. We're loving the bean bags, wooden tables, mismatched furniture — everything is so artful and tastefully done. Pick up a book from the shelves — there's an entire wall dedicated to books and you'll find tons of classics and fictional books on the shelves. The best part of the cafe is a section with an overhanging plant section and a long table — perfect for meetings when you're in the mood to run away from the office.
Arty Party
The cafe is unique because it serves as a gallery as well. The left wall is bright blue and covered with paintings from the Artist For The Month. This month, it's blue and purple hues from Ayesha Dutt. She also has a couple of art installations sitting beside the book shelves. You can also pick up the paintings {which range from INR 2,000 to INR 9,000} and take them home. Artsy is all about promoting young local talent and we're totally on board!
Chow Down
Artsy serves up some yummilicious food and cheap coffee as well. The coffees and teas start at just INR 90. The food menu is limited but very pocket. Sandwiches, tea cakes, small plates, salads and all-day favourites, the food is great to keep you going through the day.

The Pistol
Satan, was his name
To tell the truth
It isn't fair
Easy to catch
More often than not
And he stood
Just where you tied him
you tried to ride him
I suspect we have all known a horse like this in our day. I will say that old boy was a heckofa ranch horse. Could work all day , and had cow sense we all dream of . Stout , and solid , with a turn of speed that took your breath away !He wasn't a pleasure horse by any reach ,but he was darn good at his job, and if you could stay with him , he was the horse to get the job done!
Stay safe!
edited to add. The name is what it is , he was a real horse and actually one of the first horses I rode any amount in my youth . His name ia a good reminder to "be careful what you ask for " And I try to only give my horses names that are gentle and kind . And not things that suggest a wild thing!

This show dives deep into building an online and offline persona for yourself that motivates your buyers in unprecedented ways.
Libby Gill, an executive coach, author, speaker, and CEO of Libby Gill & Company, joins me on this episode.
Libby started in PR for a small company, and through acquisitions, and "raising her hand," became a VP for Sony Television. She moved to Universal, and then to Turner. She then decided to start coaching, to help people succeed.
Social media has granted easy access to all voices. Professionals really have to stand out to be heard. All your platform exposures need to come from one authentic core. Libby explains the importance of your brand.
Technology has facilitated the "instant expert," who competes with your audience for attention. Learning how to create your strong, consistent brand becomes a real challenge.
Having too many options available to the buyer creates confusion. Confusion is the end of the selling cycle. You need to create clarity for the buyer.
Libby says any store has dozens of choices for blue jeans, and she would prefer to leave, than to deal with them.
Libby asks clients first about skills, strengths, passions, and what their market wants. With that foundation, they build values and content for a forward-looking brand that tells their story in a few seconds. Don't let others set your brand for you.
A brand can involve a slogan, a logo, and your backstory. What you do for other people is your business story. When those are married authentically, then it makes emotional sense to people, and it captures mindshare.
Libby cites Starbucks as a multi-sensory 360-degree brand, that surrounds a customer before they even consider their coffee choice. See that your brand hits on multiple levels.
Think about your endgame from the start. Know the buyer you want to attract. Chart your steps, customer touch points, and the messages you send, and how you will send them. When should you provide value to the buyer?
Libby discusses demographics. The "Moms" and Millennials want to know your advocacy, and they will choose a company making a deep contribution. But don't paint them all with the same brush.
Having a social advocacy resonates with many customers. Gifts can be made as donations in the name of the customer, rather than chocolates or food gifts.

US Market Report for Breast Tissue Markers 2016 - MedCore
Breast tissue markers are placed during roughly 80% of percutaneous breast biopsy procedures. Percutaneous breast biopsy procedures are typically performed using ultrasound guidance, stereotactic guidance or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance. The volume of ultrasound guided percutaneous biopsy procedures performed annually in the U.S. is expected to increase over the forecast period, while the number of stereotactic-guided breast biopsy procedures is expected to decline. MRI-guided percutaneous breast biopsy procedure volume is expected to remain relatively stable through 2022. In the past, most breast tissue markers were designed for use with specific biopsy needles. In the future, an increasing number of breast tissue markers are expected to be designed for use with a wide range of biopsy needles.
The value of the U.S. breast tissue marker market is expected to increase modestly over the forecast period. Growth in the value of the market will be driven by increasing unit sales and limited by ASP erosion. The increasing incidence of breast cancer and utilization of breast tissue markers in percutaneous breast biopsies as well as axillary lymph node marking are expected to fuel unit sales growth over the next seven years. ASP erosion will be driven by commoditization of breast tissue markers with lower clinical value.

So, I was a little disappointed when we got the first set of cheeses of the month (not just one, but three!) because a couple of them were stuff I'd had before. For me, half the point was to try something NEW and DIFFERENT. But, I will hold off on resignation in the hopes that they are easing into the cheese world gently in case any recipients are cheese newbies.
Grana Padano is the one cheese I got this time that I had not had before. It is very similar to Parmigiano Reggiano. According to the flyer that came with the cheese it's "fruity overtones . . evoke pineapple or strawberry, depending on the season." Maybe it's because its winter, but I wasn't tasting it. But, it does taste yummy. I'd say it's a little bit softer than parmesan, so its easier to slice for a sandwich or for melting on something. Several slices make a nice contrast to a mesclun salad with balsamic dressing.
The particular 'brand' of Grana Padano I had was Stravecchio Oro Del Tempo, in which each wheel is "branded with a unique serial number." This step is apparently supposed to reassure you as to the strict testing to ensure that only the best cheese becomes "prime Grana Padano Stravecchio", but to me it just sounds like souped-up PR talk.
That said, it is definitely good cheese, but I'm not sure it's different enough from Parmagiano to be worth going to a speciality cheese shop as opposed to picking up what's available at the local supermarket.
I will report on the other January cheeses in the coming weeks. Please, for my sake (and yours) let's hope the February cheeses are a little more inspiring.

New York's fall Fashion Week starts in a few days, but you won't find me staking out Lincoln Center to steal a glimpse of a model or designer. I've already had my fill of runway glamour this summer, at the Cloverbud division of the 4-H Fashion Revue at the Becker County Fair in Detroit Lakes, Minn. Better yet, I didn't have to flash press credentials: there was no security at the red-and-white striped tent. And there were plenty of places to sit — comfy bales of hay instead of chairs crammed onto risers — and watch the kids (kindergartners through third graders) show off the ensembles they've put together (that is, bought at the mall).
"Brooke's dress is made of 65 percent polyester and 35 percent rayon for the skirt, and then 70 percent cotton and 30 percent nylon on the upper part," said the announcer, as a young girl stepped forward. "It's very versatile. She's going to wear it to school, church, friends' birthday parties or just to go shopping. Brooke, what was your favorite part of the project?"
Long pause, and then barely a peep: "Shopping with my mom."
I'm always urging friends from abroad to get out of New York and into real America, and that's what I've been trying to do as well this summer, by driving from Baton Rouge, La., to Fargo, N.D. And I don't know if I could think of a moment that smacked more of Americana than the 4-H Cloverbud fashion show, just over from the fried cheese curd stand.
Or maybe that moment was the day before, when I was a couple hours south at the Kandiyohi County Fair in Willmar, watching slightly older kids lead their beef cattle and dairy cows around the 4-H arena, trying to win a blue ribbon and qualify for the Minnesota State Fair. (You can see more in the video above.)
It also might have been earlier that same morning in Becker County, when I attended the round-robin showmanship contest, when the kid who wins the award for one species — say, swine — has to test his or her hand at showing other animals. It felt as though the World Series victors were taking on the Super Bowl champs at ice hockey, though on a slightly smaller scale.
If no event on my path this summer was more national in scope than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally I attended in South Dakota, then nothing could be more local than a county fair. In Kansas, I had stopped in on my first, completely by accident, only to wish I could stay for more.
My planned route to Fargo — where I was due to end my trip a few days later — passed through western Minnesota, which is thick with county fairs in August. (In much of the region, county fairs take place throughout July and August; Minnesota's tourism Web site, exploreminnesota.com, allows you to search for fairs by date.)
For the uninitiated, a county fair primer: There's the midway, the area for Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds and games where kids throw or shoot at targets and win big stuffed animals of extremely low quality, and plenty of cotton candy stands. There are stages for live entertainment; displays for 4-H and FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America); and booths set up by area organizations like the one from the Willmar Curling Club, where two blond girls gave me a complete lesson on the Olympic sport most Americans know nothing about. Stuff geared toward children abounds, like pig races at Kandiyohi and a performance at Becker by the lasso-wielding, bad-joke-slinging "cowboy," T. Texas Terry.
And of course there are the livestock shows. All week, children who have spent much of the last year raising a goat or lamb or hen or pig or calf bring their animal to the fair to be evaluated. The competitions are the main spectacle, but the sprawling barns are open to the public as well; they turn into huge petting zoos and attract many a toddler — and the occasional New York-based travel writer.
At Kandiyohi, I hung out with the llamas; at Becker, I marveled at the Dwarf Hotot rabbits, which are plump and round and snow white except for the bands of black around their eyes: furballs gone Goth. I was also struck repeatedly by the kids' nonchalance in the face of the rather unpleasant cleanup aspects of farm work; I challenge city kids to go and not giggle. I was somewhat challenged myself when a 6-year-old named Derek, who had raised a calf named Cocoa, told me how he tells the boys calves from the girls: "The boy pees from his bottom and the girl pees from his back."
In another building at Becker, 4-H displays took things a step further. A girl named Alyssa had put together a science-fair-like presentation on a problem called rectal prolapse that I'm not sure I can — or want to — adequately explain here. Try Google, or better yet, a Minnesota third grader.
After having cheese curds and funnel cakes the day before at Kandiyohi, I decided to clear out of the Becker County Fair after the morning livestock competition and head to downtown Detroit Lakes for a healthier brunch. On my way out of the fairgrounds, I ran into an antique tractor parade — about 50 ancient John Deeres and McCormick-Deerings were quite a spectacle making their way down the street.
Sated by a cheap but definitely not light meal in downtown Detroit Lakes, I headed back to the Becker fair, where I became absorbed in an exhibit set up by the Becker Historical Society about the over 100 one-room schoolhouses that once blanketed the county. Set up in a faux schoolhouse, there were historical photos and a binder of stories that had been painstakingly gathered from their former teachers and students. I used to teach Spanish-speaking immigrant youths in a far-more-than-one-room schoolhouse in the Bronx, so was especially tickled by a story from Paul K. Ness, whose struggles to teach his Finnish-speaking first graders sounded familiar. "I remember the sadness of his question as he approached me," he wrote. "'Teacher, it would be easier if you learned Finnish than all of us have to learn English.' "
I should note that not all fairs are equally frugal — the Kandiyohi fair was $6 per person (and $2 per car) to get in, and its $15 fee for evening entertainment priced me right out of attending the monster trucks event the night I was there. At the Becker County Fair, which was free to enter, a ticket to the demolition derby that evening was there was just $8. I'll take one, please.
I'd never before been to a demolition derby, and if you had asked me on my way in, I would have said that watching a bunch of cars smash into each other in a muddy pit until all but one is mangled enough to move was the most asinine event imaginable. But much like Julia Roberts in the opera scene from "Pretty Woman," I was thrilled from the opening curtain. Tires squealed, metal crunched, cars missing tires sprayed mud into the grandstand — why was it so mesmerizing?
Perhaps because I had just spent the last month covering 4,000 miles as I carefully signaled lane changes, making judicious use of cruise control and mainlining caffeine just to avoid accidents. Now I got to see a bunch of guys smashing each other up on purpose. It was the perfect end-of-road-trip release, experienced in the perfect way: vicariously.
Coming online later this week and on the cover of this Sunday's Travel section: lessons learned during my heartland road trip.
