A Mother and Daughter Memoir
A miraculous lesson in courage and recovery, Bending Toward the Sun tells the story of a unique family bond forged in the wake of brutal terror. Weaving together the voices of three generations of women, Leslie Gilbert-Lurie and her mother, Rita Lurie, provide powerful—and inspiring—evidence of the resilience of the human spirit, relevant to every culture in every corner of the world. By turns unimaginably devastating and incredibly uplifting, this firsthand account of survival and psychological healing offers a strong, poignant message of hope in our own uncertain times.

Author Leslie Gilbert-Lurie celebrated the release of her new book Bending Towards the Sun, which chronicles her mother's remarkable journey from Holocaust survivor and refugee to American citizen, by engaging in the quintessential gesture of Americana, throwing out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium. Leslie threw a strike on Sunday, September 6th moments before her hometown Dodgers took on the San Diego Padres. Credit: Juan Ocampo
"Bending Toward the Sun is more than a moving and inspiring Holocaust memoir. It is a story of mothers and daughters and the complicated and profound legacies that one generation leaves for the next. It is a tribute to the wonder of love and the truth that even after unspeakable loss, the spirit can be rekindled. Anyone who is a mother or who had a mother will be transformed by this powerful book."

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State says it's vacating its wins from the 2010 football season, including the Buckeyes' victory over Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.
Responding to NCAA allegations over a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job, Ohio State says Friday it also is waiving a $250,000 fine it had imposed on Tressel and changing his resignation to a retirement. Through the school, the ex-Buckeyes coach says that he is taking responsibility for the NCAA inquiry, which developed after it was learned Tressel failed to report players receiving improper benefits.
The university also is imposing a two-year probation period on the program, which means there would be harsher penalties if any further wrongdoing is discovered.

Make my flying only mounts be used as ground only mounts and i will be fine with it..what I'm most upset is that i cant use my favorite mounts that i put a LOT (years in some cases) of effort into...
Thumbs up.
I'm so happy! Best expansion ever!
Wouldn't mind to be honest. I play on a PvP realm so it just means there will be more action. :P
Oh joy, going afk on flight paths is so much fun and immersive.
Would be nice if you linked to a time...
I wont sub then. For context, yes I played Vanilla. Yes, I rode throughout TBC. But those days are gone and if they disallow flying entirely, I'm done. Not so much because I couldn't live without it as because I don't like arbitrary restrictions like this. Every expansion they seem to get some asinine notion (no rep from dungeons, all rep from dailies was the MoP one) and instead of saying "does this make sense, is it good for the game" they impose something silly on the players. It would be especially hypocritical given that they have sold flying mounts for real money.
Oh and before anyone types the silly stock replies....
Yes, I know, it's their game, they can do what they want. So can I.
Yes, I know, I'd still be able to fly in the other parts of the world. This is irrelevant since anyone at 90+ will be spending the vast majority of their time in the new zones.

And not a single fuck was given.
I would love there to be no flying for many reasons.
1. I love exploring games. in Skyrim I never used the mounts just walked.
2. I would love to see the butt hurt from people this bothers.
**not really many reasons***

This is going to be up there with the STAR WARS NGE. As an avid gamer of 25+ years I hope that this is not true.
Wtf? If that's the case I'll be unsubbing, and I've been subbed since BC.
Obviously not just for this reason alone, but yeah. So far, 0 selling points in the next xpac for me, save character model updates.
To be fair, I'm going flightpath -> afk a lot more lately, simply because of the sheer boredom that is flying yourself. But yes, if they really think about that they better make all mounts usable in non-flight zones, and maybe add nicer ground riding animations for some of them.
Your rights as a consumer begin and end at the point where you choose not to consume, and not where you yourself influence the consumed goods.
Translation: if you don't like a game don't play it.
I personally think they should stick to no flying until first major patch. Like someone above has said, if my flight mounts can be used as ground I'll be happy. If not I'm gonna be pissed because I have a tonne of flight mounts I've worked for and would like to use.
I'm laughing at everyone who's saying they're unsubbing just because you won't be able to fly. Kind of hilarious
I personally love the idea of not being able to fly. The world feels so much bigger and scarier while not being able to fly!

Product Details
Lexus RX 2014, RK Series Premium Plain 1-Piece Brake Rotors by EBC®. This replacement Rotor Kit is sized and shaped to OE factory dimensions with the strictest quality controls and machined to be within extremely tight tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters. High quality "gray" iron meets or exceeds factory original specifications regarding thermal buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor.
|Driving Style: Daily Driver
|Rotor Design: Rotors Only
|Rotor Construction: 1-Piece
|Rotor Style: Plain
|Rotor Material: High Quality Gray Iron
|Lug Holes Quantity: 5
|Center Hole Diameter: 62mm (2.44")
|Quantity: 2 Per Pack
- Sized and shaped to original equipment specifications with extremely tight tolerances
- Designed to meet or reduce factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear
- Recommended by EBC for use with EBC Ultimax and Yellowstuff pads
- Black GEOMET and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
- Recommended by EBC for normal street driving, high performance street driving, truck or SUV use, drifting, and short track runs
- High quality "gray" iron features a higher carbon content to reduce brake shudder, heat cracking, and high-frequency vibrations which cause squealing
- EBC recommends a 500 mile break in period with lighter braking application
Rotor Benefits:
- Perfect for non-aggressive driving
- Ensure quiet operation
- Offers low dust and long pad life
- More resistant to warping or cracking
Why pay dealership prices that are marked up 100% when you can purchase EBC high-quality RK Series Premium OE Replacement rotors for less? Unlike cheaper, inferior replacement rotors that may look identical to original equipment, EBC builds these to match original factory dimensions and machines them to extremely tight tolerances. But they did not stop there. EBC has applied their engineering expertise to create an iron compound that exceeds the quality of most original material blends, so these rotors actually improve on factory levels of heat buildup, brake noise, vibration, and wear. A higher percentage of carbon and silicone is present which leads to the formation of graphite during the curing process. When graphite is present, the rotor itself takes on qualities of a denser, softer material. Heat is more evenly dispersed to reduce warping, cracks are less likely, and vibration-related noise is greatly reduced. RK Series Premium OE Replacement Rotor Kit is anodized for corrosion resistance, and rotors should be fully ready for performance driving after a 500 mile break-in period.
The world-renowned brake experts at EBC have developed over a dozen variations of performance brake components, and each one is crafted to provide a superior level of grip, wear, and performance for uniquely different vehicle sizes, weights, and applications. When the company engineers who created pads that can survive 1,800 degree temperature test runs turn their attention to creating equally impressive brake rotors, you will see rotors finely tuned to deliver impressive looks behind your wheel spokes and last run performance that's as equally impressive as your first. If you've been let down by underperforming brake rotors that didn't last as long as they should, RK Series Premium OE Replacement Rotor kit is designed for the long run. If installed at the same time as a new set of EBC long life brake pads, it's not uncommon for these rotors to last the length of the first set with more than enough life to be used with a second set. All EBC brake rotors are cast to a high metal strength rating of 150 newton meters and are precision CNC machined to be within tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters. RK Series Premium OE Replacement Rotor Kit is the result of relentless testing and refinement, and when better brake rotors are built it is EBC that will build them.
Founded and based in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes® is a premiere producer of brake components for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, ATVs, and even scooters. EBC brake pads and rotors are preferred by fleet operators of emergency vehicles, livery cabs, and by discerning racers all over the world for the effective grip, superior lifespan, resistance to heat buildup, and proper fit they deliver. From the company president down to every employee, EBC strongly believes that brake components that are truly superior must be constructed from the most effective materials and also offer the lowest environmental impact possible. Likewise, EBC will never put their name on any products that cut corners in development, quality control, or are manufactured using sweatshop working conditions where human rights are not valued. When you want the best, most responsible brake components that meet or exceed OEM specification without dealer OEM markup, EBC Brakes is the only name you need to know.

The West All-Stars rallied with five runs in the top of the seventh to take a 9-4 victory over the East All-Stars Thursday night in the Southern Oklahoma Annual All-Star baseball game played at Valero Park.
The West, coached by Davis' Micah Noland, was composed of seniors from Davis, Sulphur, Ardmore, Kingston and Ringling. The East All Stars, coached by Tishomingo's Kirk LaFevers, represented Plainview, Madill, Tishomingo and Dickson.
The teams entered the seventh knotted at 4-all. But the West sent 11 batters to the plate, took advantage of five free passes from the East pitching staff, and made the best of two hits to plate five and pull away for the win.
Madill's Shadow Marris, the fourth East pitcher, issued free passes to Davis' Hunter White and Sulphur's Hunter Luna. A single to left by Davis' Riley Wilson loaded the bases with no outs. White scored on a wild pitch, and Marris then walked Davis' Ethan Tomlinson to load the bases.
Madill's Hunter Chapa came on in relief and gave up a sacrifice fly to center by Kingston's Jake Patterson that scored Luna, and Tomlinson raced home on a passed ball. Kingston's Jared Hayes and Davis' Jordan Wilson both reached on infield errors. Hayes scored on the second East error, and Davis' Alec Hetherington singled to left to score Wilson.
Hetherington led the West with a 3-for-4 and two RBIs, and Luna was 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored.
Patterson got the start for the West and worked three scoreless innings before a rough fourth. The East All Stars got all four of their runs in the bottom of the fourth when they sent 10 to the plate.
Plainview's Chase Brooks and teammate Newman Hoben both singled. Plainview's Garrett Foster singled to score Brooks, and Marris singled to score Foster.
A two-run single to left by Plainview's Devin Hartman brought in Hoben and Foster, and a bunt single by Chapa scored Marris with the final East run.
Ardmore's Donovan Kuykendall came in for the West in the fifth and shut down the East over the game's final three frames to gain the win on the mound. The two West pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts and three free passes. The five East pitchers fanned eight but issued 10 free passes.
Brooks and Hoben were each 2-for-3 with a run scored for the East.

Wow, what a great Pod/Video Cast. Thank you.
At first, I didn't see the results like you did, where our Blogging Friends appeared. What I had do to was to update my Profile a bit, adding some items that were listed at the bottom of my Profile screen, where MY Blogs, Flickr, Picasa, FB Photos are listed. I think that have been new since I last looked at my profile on Google.
The second search provided much better results.
All that to say, Check your Profile settings in Google. At least it worked for me.
Thank you so much.

Art galleries, theatres and unique museums: over recent years Chelsea has developed into the creative hub of New York City. The industrial character gives the district that raw edge which many artists love. There are currently an estimated 350 galleries in Chelsea alone and the number is still rising.
SoHo used to be the place to be for art-loving New Yorkers but times have changed. In the early 1990s, the abandoned warehouses and garages in the once grimy streets of Chelsea were converted into galleries brimming with 'edgy' art. Restaurants, cafés and museums followed and transformed Chelsea into a trendy neighbourhood. Nearly all galleries are free to enter, which makes a day of art shopping even more appealing
A great way to get a good impression of the neighbourhood is to take a walk along the High Line. This former elevated freight railway line runs from Chelsea to the Meatpacking District and has been developed into a beautiful green park. The almost 2-kilometre High Line is literally a small oasis in the urban jungle that is New York City. When the weather is good, you'll find many New Yorkers sunbathing on loungers or enjoying a pretzel and a coffee at one of the cafeterias, while the busy traffic roars past beneath.
There are various stairways to get to the street level below but we recommend exiting at West 20th Street. One block up, on West 21st Street, you'll find the gallery of Paula Cooper, a major name in art circles and one of the first to move her venue from SoHo to Chelsea. Paula's gallery features works from various high-profile artists.
"Chelsea mixes uptown wealth with a unique downtown style"
Most galleries are located in the blocks between West 18th Street, West 24th Street, 10th Avenue and 11th Avenue. On West 24th Street you'll find the 303 Gallery, featuring interesting photography exhibitions and installations. Further down the same street is the Gladstone Gallery, a space full of conceptual and philosophical art. Take a break from all this avant-garde creativity at the Printed Matter book shop on the corner of 10th Avenue and West 23rd Street to browse among thousands of art books.
The best place for a good breakfast or take-away lunch is Chelsea Market. This market hall used to be the domain of the National Biscuit Company, inventor of the world-famous Oreo cookie. Today it houses a wide range of catering facilities and shops; from perfect cupcakes to organic bread, from upscale sushi to homemade soup, it's impossible to go hungry here. The industrial building itself is also worth a visit.

Atkinson, Umberger strike early in Blue Jackets' 6-0 rout of Maple Leafs
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TORONTO – The Columbus Blue Jackets took advantage of the well-rested Toronto Maple Leafs.
Cam Atkinson and R.J. Umberger 20 seconds apart in the first period, and Ryan Johansen added two goals as the Blue Jackets rolled to a 6-0 win over the Maple Leafs 6-0 on Monday night.
After Toronto earned a 2-1 shootout victory over Washington on Saturday night, Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle rewarded his team with Sunday off.
The move then backfired.
"We didn't have energy off a day off yesterday," Carlyle said. "It just seemed like we lacked the necessary pace that was required to compete in the game.
"That's mind-boggling."
Jack Skille and Ryan Murray added goals 3:15 apart in the second period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves for his fifth career NHL shutout. The Blue Jackets went 3-2 on their five-game road trip.
Toronto's James Reimer allowed all six goals on 21 shots two nights after he had a career-high, 49-save performance.
"We limited their opportunities. I thought our forwards did a good job of getting in the shooting lanes and forcing their shots wide," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "Our defense really competed in front of our net, boxing out, where Bob could see the puck.
"We were opportunistic in the offensive zone."
Atkinson opened the scoring 10:18 in when he knocked Matt Calvert's pass out of the air and past Reimer for his sixth goal. Umberger quickly added his sixth, putting home the rebound after Reimer made the initial save on Ryan Murray's wraparound.
James van Riemsdyk had Toronto best chance of the first period, one-timing Phil Kessel's feed through Bobrovsky's pads, but the puck trickled just wide of the Columbus net.
In the second, Mark Letestu capitalized on Mark Fraser's turnover at the Columbus blue line. Letestu fed Skille on a 2-on-1 break for his first of the season and first with the Blue Jackets at 3:07 of the period.
Skille drew a hooking penalty 2:13 later.
On the ensuing power play, Murray put Johansen's feed past Reimer. Murray posted his first career multipoint game.
"We made sure we all worked together as a five-man unit every shift and stuck to a system," Skille said. "We made sure we played simple road hockey. That was the key."
The Blue Jackets scored twice on their first four shots of the second period prompting the crowd to jeer Reimer following a routine save.
Johansen finished a 2-on-1 feed from Nick Foligno at 9:05 of the third making it 5-0. Johansen then added his team-leading eighth goal at 11:25, ending Reimer's night early.
Reimer entered with a 6-2 record, NHL-best .947 save percentage, and a 2.10 goals-against average.
Since allowing four goals to Ottawa and getting pulled in his second game of the season on Oct. 5, Reimer had stopped 156 of 161 shots at home. Reimer was 4-0 in five starts during that span.
This was Reimer's first start and loss against Columbus.
"The first two were kind of bad bounces or weird plays, and then the rest were good plays, good shots," Reimer said. "I don't really have much to say. Don't really have much to offer. It just wasn't my night.
"It's obviously disappointing what happened and frustrating."
Bernier made one save in relief.
At 10:50 of the third, Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf was assessed a minor penalty for illegal contact to the head when he caught Columbus forward Artem Anisimov with an open-ice hit. Anisimov left the game and didn't return.
"The refs have a tough job to do. The game's moving very quickly and I hit him shoulder-to-shoulder," Phaneuf said. "(The referee) just said from his angle that he saw contact, but that's all I'm going to say on that. I felt that it was a clean hit. Shoulder to shoulder."
Adding to Toronto's poor showing, forward Joffrey Lupul left the game at the end of the second period and didn't come back to the game.
Tyler Bozak made his return to the Maple Leafs lineup after he missing 12 games because of a hamstring injury. Bozak finished with a minus-2 rating.
NOTES: With the return of Bozak, Peter Holland was a healthy scratch. ... Columbus used an emergency recall to bring up forward Sean Collins from Springfield of the AHL, but he didn't get to Toronto in time for puck drop. ... Blue Jackets D Dalton Prout was activated from the injured list and returned to the lineup after missing five games with a back injury. The Blue Jackets placed Brandon Dubinsky (foot) on the injured list, retroactive to Nov. 19.

Well, I'm departing for a back roads tour in New Zealand in a few weeks. I'll be doing plenty of k's on gravel roads, and a fair bit on bitumen too.
Currently I have 26" x 1.6" Marathon Supremes fitted for my
local rides. I really like the Supremes, they are fast and light. My
quandary is will they be robust enough for the gravel roads I'll
encounter in New Zealand.
So I have sitting in front of me a set
of 26" x 2.0" Marathon Supremes, and a set of 26" x 2.0" Marathon
Duremes, which are quite a bit heavier, but no doubt more durable.
Question is, do I really need the added durability? I favour the lighter
and faster tyre.
Sigh - decisions, decisions...

Follow Up On Jason Williams; And Romo's Hot Seat?
-Last week I did a piece "Know Your Cowboy" on Jason Williams, the rookie Linebacker from Western Illinois. It was something just to help the casual fan learn a bit on one of our up and coming players. Like most rookies the transition from college to pro takes time so Jason struggled in training camp and in the first preseason game against the Raiders.
Coach Wade Phillips attributes the slow start to "because he was thinking instead of playing". However in his second preseason game against the Titans he started playing more instinctively, which forced an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone and resulted in a safety.
The Cowboys are not trying to overload the young player by putting too much on his plate. They like his physical style and his ability to run, so for the time being they want him to concentrate on special teams and become a "Good special teams player", and take the time to learn the defensive side of the game a bit slower. Once they see his confidence building then they will incorporate him a bit more into the regular defense.
-Tony Romo on the hot seat? According to Dan Fouts of CBS Sports Tony is one of a few Quarterbacks this year on the hot seat.
"The pressure is really going to fall on Romo now, but that's the way it should be. When you're the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback, with that tradition and history, it adds pressure. Deal with it."
As Cowboy fans know, Tony Will be able to handle this pressure Fouts speaks of. He will just have to play and make everyone else shut their mouths. Seems like Romo and Roy Williams have got a lot of people to put in their places this season, and I cant wait to see them do it!

1. Re: What happens to the video?Steve Grisetti Apr 23, 2012 9:33 AM (in response to pdmjr)
The original video remains unchanged.
When you import or capture the video from your camcorder, it is saved to your computer's hard drive.
When you import it into a project, the edits, effects, etc., are part of the project. They have no effect on the original video.
Finally, the program uses all of the edits and effects to generate/render a final, finished video. But, again, the original video is not changed or affected in any way.
That's why computer-based video editing is called a non-destructive process.

Hi all - I read most of the info in the second reply. I think my answer is that the video is stored as the original format that it comes off the camera from. I have footage from a AVCHD camera, (almost 200gb - keep buying cards!) and that will come off as that format and I also have over 50 tapes of DV video which will come off as that format. I also have almost 25 8mm tapes which if I am reading correctly I will have to convert to DV video. For now the most important thing for me is to get the video off the devices onto a hard drive (I bought a 2tb one which may not be enough!) and backed up probaly to another hard drive for now. I am on a mac so I will have to figure out how to use a blu-ray drive - seems like a good way for the alternate back-up
Thanks a bunch

Old forum discussion, message now gone, but here's the summary
Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model 110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy the model 300
Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't need that, look at the model 55

Denise Cerreta remembers standing in her tiny sandwich shop, waiting for customers to walk through the front door. She had just left behind a successful acupuncture therapy practice after seven years to open a restaurant. But she had no restaurant experience, and her business was failing. On that same day, however, Ms. Cerreta had an idea that changed everything – she would stop charging set prices for the food she served. Instead, she would let people price their own food or allow customers to sweep the floors or wash dishes in exchange for a meal.
Five years later, Cerreta's idea continues to blossom at her restaurant, One World Café in Salt Lake City, and her vision to provide nutritious and affordable organic food to all has become a reality. Customers have the option of dropping money in a donation box on the counter, swiping their credit card to make a donation, or volunteering for a plate of food.
It sounds simple now, but it wasn't easy in the beginning, she says, recalling the early days. "I didn't even have a banner or a business card. I don't know how people found this place." Slowly, her restaurant garnered a niche in the Salt Lake City community through the generosity of others, such as the man who donated $200 so she could buy a banner for her restaurant.
Around the world, pay-what-you-can and volunteer restaurant concepts, such as the one adopted at the One World Café, are catching on from Denver to Vienna. And although each restaurant may have different reasons for allowing customers to pay whatever they can or to volunteer in exchange for a meal, they all share a desire to reach out to their communities through food.
The Terra Bite Lounge in Kirkland, Wash., serves coffee, smoothies, baked goods, and sandwiches with no price tags. Ervin Peretz, the owner, adopted a pay-what-you-can model after a discussion about the stigmatization of "getting and accepting free food," he says.
Customers "get a pleasant experience. There's a lot of trust and warmth in this process, and they can feel like they are doing something good.... They are supporting people that might not be able to pay," Mr. Peretz says.
In Vienna, the words "pay as you wish" and "all you can eat" line the windows of Der Wiener Deewan – a restaurant founded and run by Afzaal Deewan, a cook and cricket player from Pakistan, and Natalie Deewan, a former college student – that offers a buffet of five curry dishes at whatever price people see fit to pay.
At Dan's Restaurant in Biddeford, Maine, customers can also negotiate prices as well as portion size. Owner Danielle Ward recently started doing this after an elderly woman on a fixed income came in and said she couldn't afford most of the items on the menu. "People are really taking advantage of this service" to help them afford to eat out on a budget, Ms. Ward says. Although she considers the price negotiations to be temporary, she may make them permanent.
Cerreta isn't surprised that pay-what-you-can or volunteer concepts have caught on with other restaurants. In fact, through her foundation, One World Everybody Eats, she's happy to help other restaurants that want to adopt a similar model. Her website (http://oneworldeverybodyeats.org) lists information and tips for those who want to follow her example.
"Sometimes I have to pinch myself. Is this my life?" Cerreta says. "I'm looking forward to more people doing this and to help more people."
Cerreta's mentoring has already helped jump-start the SAME Café in Denver. When Brad and Libby Birky decided to open a pay-what-you-can restaurant in 2006, they had no restaurant experience – Brad, a former information-technology consultant, had only a few cooking classes from a local community college under his belt. But with Cerreta's guidance, the couple's restaurant gained a following in the community. Two years later, the cafe has received nonprofit status, and is bustling with new and regular customers who donate their time and money to sustain it.
The acronym in the restaurant's name stands for "So All May Eat." In a location once occupied by a coffee shop, the cafe is a 17-seat restaurant where organic soups, salads, and pizza are always on the menu. In a small kitchen, the Birkys prepare pizzas topped with spinach and feta cheese or pepperoni and portabella mushrooms and bake them in a convection oven.
They chop up ingredients for green chili and broccoli cheddar soup and toss Greek veggie pasta salad and couscous salad, which they then serve in a buffet line.
After volunteering in soup kitchens for years, the Birkys saw a need for their restaurant. "We wanted an outlet to get healthy food out there for folks who can't afford to buy fresh organic all the time," Brad says.
"A lot of people gravitate towards us [who] don't qualify for social services or don't make enough to afford the high living cost of Denver," Libby says. "There are people who rely on us, or otherwise they would eat ramen noodles."
One World Café, which has also qualified for nonprofit status, serves organic dishes, too. The restaurant also has its own garden plot for growing lettuce, herbs, and other fresh ingredients that go into the eatery's meals.
The menu changes daily – varying among different types of soup, quiche, dessert, and cold side dishes. On any one day, the menu might list items such as tofu and spinach rice soup, Asian chicken with sugar snap peas, and baked pear with caramelized nuts.
Does it really work to allow people to decide how much to pay for a restaurant's meal? Yes, say the owners. Customers rarely slink out of the SAME Café and One World Café without dropping some money in the donation box or offering to volunteer in exchange for a meal.
Although some people might be tempted to do otherwise, "People are good," Libby says, "and they want to do what's right and participate in a community and belong somewhere and be treated with respect."
The stories the Birkys and Cerreta share about their experiences shed light on their decisions to run pay-what-you-can restaurants.
Libby recalls when a customer came in and said he didn't have a lot of money and asked to volunteer later. "He said, 'You really trust me'? And I said, 'This is how this works. I believe that you'll come back,' " she says. "When you give people a chance to do the right thing, it totally works out."
For Cerreta, the beauty of a pay-what-you-can restaurant involves "the serendipity, the community, the random acts of kindness when you least expect it."

RIGGINS — Congratulations to the Salmon River Savages for their fourth consecutive state championship title in the last two years. This team of boys has earned two state football championships and now two state championship basketball championships! Great job, team, coaches and parents! The three state tourney games they played were exciting, especially the final game that kept the players challenged and the fans on the edges of their seats.… oh, wait…. most of the fans were standing and jumping up and down cheering!
The Riggins dribble team made of eight girls from fourth-ninth grades, as well as two wee ones, and one performance featuring a young man doing "the worm" while dribbling a basketball, entertained at three halftimes impressing each crowd as they danced and dribbled and made those basketballs zing through their hands. Congrats to you girls and your coach for a job well done. What talent those girls shared with all of us.
Riggins was out in full force to cheer on the champions! Most who could not make it down to the game watched it on webcam! What a weekend of celebrating and cheering for a team whose talents shine on the basketball floor as well as those young girls performing at three halftime shows sharing their basketball talents to music!

Construction of Ohio's first Cabela's store is on track for a spring opening, officials say.
Construction of Ohio's first Cabela's store is on track for a spring opening, officials say.
No firm date has been set for the grand opening of the outdoor retailer's store at Gemini Parkway and Interstate 71, but the company plans to open it in "early spring," said Franz Geiger, managing director with real estate developer NP Limited Partnership.
"If you look at the exterior, it's really taking shape," Geiger said. "They're putting in the landscaping and they're moving at a fast pace, but there's a lot that needs to be done on the inside of the store."
"It could open as early as March," he added.
Cabela's sells a wide range of hunting, fishing, camping and boating equipment and apparel.
The new 80,000-square-foot store is located at the northeast corner of Gemini Parkway and Lyra Drive in the Polaris Centers development.
It's the first Cabela's store in Ohio. Currently, the nearest locations are in Triadelphia, W.V., near Wheeling, and Dundee, Mich., just north of Toledo.
It will feature the store's signature indoor mountain replica, a massive sculpture topped with mounted North American game animals, said Cabela's spokesman Wes Remmer.
"You'll see everything from pheasants to grizzly bears," Remmer said. "It's one of the things that makes it an interesting experience just coming into the store."
The store also will feature a 5,575-gallon aquarium stocked with native fish.
An indoor archery range will let shoppers test their aim before they buy. Shoppers can shoot targets with any bow they like before purchasing it.
Meanwhile, firearms fans can see collectible and antique weapons in the store's gun library. "It's like a miniature museum for gun aficionados," Remmer said.
The store will introduce the Bargain Cave, an area featuring discounted products and special deals.
Shoppers also can grab a bite to eat at the store's deli.
Remmer said the store will create about 175 full- and part-time jobs and is "poised for a great opening."
"We're excited to come to Ohio," he said. "We know we have a ton of loyal customers in the area so we can't wait to get the outdoor enthusiasts in the area into our store."

Without the hints it gives a moment of suspense. If we knew that Asami had a thing for Shuri in the first place then where would all the speculation and hopes for Asami x Sana come in? (Though by ep 8 it was clear that Asami is just going to be pushed aside but some people remained hopeful).
Its quite imaginative (while the haters will call it lame, rushed, cop out, lazy bla bla) to have a "side character" doomed to fade into the background strike back so hard. We know that the step mother is a bitch and will continue to treat her as the main suspect for sending such a letter, but no way would anyone think that an outside factor such as Asami to be the main culprit.
As for how the story will end, we still can't judge until we see it. It can be rushed or it can feel fine. Whether the outcome is will determine if the episodes on hinako have been a total waste of time best spent elsewhere

I will actually applaud this show if it manages to find new and creative ways to produce utter garbage. It hasn't quite reached the level of being "so bad that it's good"; School Days set a standard in that genre that will be hard to top.
But if we see psychotic Aoi, Nanaka torn between Sana and Asami, and Shuri with morning sickness in Episode 12, I'll be sold.

LMAO at the people! I already knew Asami likes Shuri from the scene in ferris wheel. There is just no other explanation why Asami looks so disturbed just looking at Shuri crying. This also explains how she never develop romantic interest on Sana despite all the times they spent together.
This ep is kinda boring mainly cause Asami was talking for nearly the first half of the ep. Next ep will probably be more interesting if Nanaka becomes a bit more cheerful.

lol i never expected this turn of events myself
it was surprising to see Asami to have such a larger role
in the series this just adds more drama!
hmm... perhaps we will finally see a sad Aoi in the next episode?
or a psychotic Aoi like DanielSong39 mention

I agree from the get-go that Myself Yourself could've been written better and paced better, but it's good for what it is. It's definitely on a higher rung than Kashimashi or School Days for me.
The thing that gets me is why we're even discussing how 'bad' the show is. It's pretty redundant. Actually, a lot of forums in animesuki seems to fall into that same trend. Sure, the writers made a poo poo. Big deal, as long as it's watchable and can have some entertainment value derived. I think Myself Yourself did that for a lot of people.

If I want cheap drama that makes no real sense I'll watch monday morning soap operas on NBC, otherwise theres no real excuse for a poor story.
I do agree that Hinako has been covered more than Nanaka, maybe she should've been the female lead.

Look at it this way, I stopped paying attention to most ratings on this site a long time ago for several reasons. The only ones I pay any attention to anymore are the ones by people I know.
Rarely do I see episodes of any series where the votes aren't top heavy, and on top of that, numbers don't condone very much meaning towards what people thought about an episode. The meat is in what people write. It's qualitative evaluations versus quantitative, and in this case, there's no reason for people not to speak up and discuss the episode and their thoughts openly as long as they are clear, logical and not deliberately inflammatory.
It also never hurts to both leave ones rating in the box and to discuss what brought you to that number.

However, what can you trust? There is some truth so the theory that people who approve stay silent, so while the ratings might not say that this episode is near impeccable, it does say that it's well above average. I just wished that more people can join me defending why this episode is good because right now I don't want to post anything good about this episode anymore.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora is just one story that moves in a straight line.
It's just that the animators for Clannad, like Kanon, wants to animate all of the main heroines' paths. That's why it needs so many episodes. If Clannad needed to be fit into 13 episodes, they can do what Da Capo II did: Just choose one or two paths.
Those cuts also had a side-effect of breaking the rhythm. It's like if a fighting anime suddenly, in the middle of a fight, switched to a parallel world of slice-of-life. You build up excitement for the on-going story, and suddenly, we get an episode of a loli that pops out of nowhere (at least, she's not around at first). Then, we go back to the story and the excitement simmers down... For the on-going story though, Hinako has proven that if she's not around, no one cares. And Shuusuke's chosen his blood-related sister over her.
There are already plenty of people defending the episode.
It's just that the same argument is used over and over again for both sides...
Everyone repeats their points, rinse, repeat.

I just finished this episode, and I can say that this is my favorite episode. I don't think the series is going to have any episode better than this one.
The plot twist was perfect for the start and continues down the plot where it rounds off. The ending was also a good teary ending which was a good softer ending for the end.
Although this anime is trying to promote a video game, at least it's decent and not just some shoddy anime, with a plot written up of trashed ideas which weren't added into the game. The ideas at least seem to contain some thought rather than no thought at all.
I can admit that I think the anime does jump a bit with the character development right now... The side characters are developed usually by their connections to Sana rather within each other, which is fine, because its a nice basic technique which requires low skill to understand.
All in all, the episode was a great episode and this anime is currently not some stupid trashy story which is an unoriginal, boring idea.

Well, the PREMISE is fairly standard (friends meeting again, some having a few issues that collide), except the issues are pretty messed up even by romance anime standards and the drama is coming along at a rocket pace, which is good in itself. I only wish the show did it much earlier and I still say the episode constraint is hurting Myself Yourself since it had fillers and transition episodes unlike other short shows like it.
But in the end, the speculation that goes around with this show is really something. You don't get this kind of discussion going for Clannad or Moyashimon, do you?
It's almost like with Mai Otome, as flawed as that show was, it was fun discussing what would happen next.

Bottom line, this episode is something new... something out of the box... that's why it's good... nobody would ever thought that a conspiracy like that would emerge due to the love hotel incident...
everyone thought that it might be someone else, maybe her step mother, who sent the letter... Who would know that it is actually Asami who did it? (Unless you manage to catch what is written about Asami in Wikipedia... By far, I think they are the latest to post this fact up onto the interest after the episode is aired or even earlier.)
It is something that no one will guess, believe me? Unless you are the one writing the script, if you know what i mean...

Zoinks! Asami is the Swiss army knife of plot devices. I have never seen a character used and abused is such a way. I loved this episode, it really threw me as I thought that from the Ferris wheel she had a thing for Shuu. I did not even have a sliver of an idea that it would be Asami as the dark evil masked overlord.
I'm actually really enjoying the overly crammed and slightly disjointed nature of this show. It has yet to not surprise me or get me really worked up over something.
Not only did the question of who sent the letter throw me, but the addition of yuri too! How much can they cram in. So far we have:
Possible murder
Emo breakdown because of murder
Childhood friends going becoming romance
Loli at home syndrome
Psycho gran
Stalker yuri girl
Possible twincest
Animal cruelty
Ba**ard father
Boy living away from parents
Is there anything else I missed? Most shows might have a couple of these themes in, but to include in so much makes me dizzy.

Amy Adams' Hair for the 2013 Golden Globes
Amy Adams looked breathtaking on the Golden Globes red carpet last night. Wearing a form-fitting nude-colored Marchesa gown, her hair look, created by Laini Reeves for Moroccanoil, combined Old Hollywood and Deco references in a unique, loose, and modern way.
"It was such a special gown, off the shoulder with a beautiful flow of fabric that I definitely wanted to accent that glamorous nuance," says Reeves.
The head-turning style featured a newtake on the classic marcel wave, with a small, loose, twisted bun placed on the side of the nape behind the waved detail. The bun was tied tight and lowand held in place with small golden bobby pins.
"I wanted to create a sense of freedom to the look so the hair didn't look like a set. Hair on top was flatterto the forehead, with the waved detail starting 3 inches from the root. I really liked the way it fell, and kept the entire look soft."
"The style had to emphasize shine to reflect the light, and define the detail in a silky looking way. This allowed for a lighter, messier look without appearing disheveled."
STEP 1: Hair was shampooed with Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo and Moroccanoil Extra Volume Conditioner.
STEP 2: Reeves made a side part and brushed hair into place. "I rough dried it using my fingers, and placed a clip in the spot where I wanted the wave to start," says Reeves.
STEP 3: Next, Reeves lightly misted Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray from roots to ends for a natural-looking shine.
STEP 4: A large crimpling iron was used to form the wave, taking two-inch vertical sections, starting at a face-flattering point alongside the corner of the eyebrow.
STEP 5: The hair was sprayed once again with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, then brushed through with a soft bristle brush, then pulled to the lower right side of the nape.
STEP 6: After making a ponytail (held with a hair band), Reeves twisted the hair around and rolled it into a little bun supported with gold bobby pins.
STEP 7: "Once the bun was made, I could decide how loose or messy to make it. Though there are different ways I could have gone, I decided to keep it airy for a textured modern look," says Reeves.
STEP 8: Spray the entire look with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Mar. 29, 2012) — Riding a three-game winning streak, the ETSU (14-9, 3-3 A-Sun) baseball team will look to stay hot with an A-Sun road series at Lipscomb (10-16, 3-3 A-Sun) beginning on Friday at Dugan Field.
Friday's first pitch will begin at 7 p.m. (ET) with Saturday's start set for 3 p.m. (ET) and Sunday's finale at 2 p.m. (ET). Each game will be broadcasted live on 640 WXSM – The Extreme Sports Monster and online at ETSUBucs.com with John Stevens on the call.
John Long (Anderson, S.C.) (4-2, 3.80 ERA) will start for the Bucs in Friday's opener and will be opposed by Lipscomb's Connor Sinclair (3-1, 2.87 ERA). Long has dropped his last two outings, but has given solid efforts in both starts. He leads the squad in wins, while leading the A-Sun in innings pitched with 45.0 this season. He earned the victory last season against the Bison after going eight strong, while just allowing one run. Sinclair is coming off his third victory of the year in which he pitched 6.2 solid innings, while allowing just six hits and two runs against Mercer.
Saturday's matinee will pit ETSU junior Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) (2-2, 3.60 ERA) against Lipscomb lefty Blake Fonfara (2-3, 6.29 ERA). Bushey was stellar in his last outing – a 7-2 victory over Florida Gulf Coast last Saturday in which he tossed seven scoreless innings, while striking out a career-high nine batters and allowing just two hits. Fonfara had a solid outing last season against the Bucs, but picked up the loss after going five innings with six hits, two runs, three walks and four strikeouts.
The Sunday series finale will match ETSU right-hander Jake Long (Anderson, S.C.) (2-1, 2.21 ERA) against Lipscomb righty Josh Cotham (1-2, 3.31 ERA). Long is coming off his strongest performance of the year as he tossed a career-high eight innings with a career-best eight strikeouts, while only allowing four hits.
The Bucs are coming off a 7-2 home victory against Radford on Tuesday in which they pounded out 12 hits. Starter Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) allowed just two runs, while striking out a career-high five batters to earn his second straight victory. Will Carter (Johnson City, Tenn.) pitched four innings of scoreless relief to earn his first career save. Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.), Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) led the Bucs at the plate with two hits each. Pratt and Green each had two RBI on the afternoon. Freeman, Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) and Mason Hershey (Altoona, Pa.) each had an RBI for the Bucs. Hershey got an RBI on his first home run of the season.
ETSU claimed its first conference series of the season last weekend when it took two out of three at Florida Gulf Coast. The Bucs dropped the series opener before picking up victories in the final two contests of the weekend. The ETSU pitching staff allowed just four earned runs (1.33 ERA) for the entire series.
The Buccaneer pitchers have been tremendous as they currently rank second in the A-Sun in team ERA (3.28), while leading the league in opposing batting average (.229). The Buccaneer staff has also allowed the fewest hits (172), runs (98), earned runs (75) and walks (62) in the league so far this season. ETSU has not allowed more than five earned runs in a game in its last 12 games.
Lipscomb heads into the weekend after dropping two midweek contests against UT-Martin and Evansville. However, the Bison picked up an impressive conference sweep of Mercer last weekend at home. Lipscomb is a solid 10-6 at home, but is 0-10 away from Dugan Field.
The Bison are led at the plate by Zak Messer as he leads the team in just about every offensive category, including batting average (.346), hits (36), doubles (12), home runs (seven) and RBI (26). Meanwhile, Lee Wilson (.321) and Aaron Sandoval (.306) are each batting over .300 with a combined three homers and 22 RBI.
ETSU and Lipscomb have met a total of 26 times with each team winning 13 games. However, the Bucs have won the last five games in the series, including a three-game sweep in Johnson City last season.
ETSU will travel to Boone, N.C. to face Appalachian State in a non-conference game on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before hosting North Florida for a three-game series at Thomas Stadium beginning on Thursday.

From the doorway, the classroom activities look similar to those in which most American preschool students participate.
A teacher – in this case a slender, young man named William Li – sits on a rug on the vinyl-tiled floor. Two boys, Will Behan, 5, of St. Charles, and Landon Fanale, 4, of Geneva, sit on the rug facing him.
The group sings songs and works through playful exercises to build vocabulary, digest new concepts and learn how to correctly and politely identify themselves.
But if someone pauses while passing by the classroom in the lower level of the Congregational United Church of Christ in Campton Hills, they would hear a big difference between Li's class and other classes.
Li's instruction, songs and educational exercises are spoken entirely in Mandarin Chinese.
Since 2010, the two local boys – and a third student not in class this day – have learned the language from Li, an instructor with Language Stars, a Chicago-based private foreign language instruction school.
Every aspect of the class is conducted in full and complete immersion in the foreign language, from the moment Li greets them in the hall with a happy "Ni hao" – Mandarin Chinese for "hello" – to the time they leave.
"It's the best way for them to learn a new language," said Heather Hellmuth, assistant director for Language Stars, who oversees the St. Charles classes and others scattered in Chicago's western and northwestern suburbs. "It's the same way they learned English, after all."
Although such classes might seem different, for a growing number of parents and children in the Tri-Cities and elsewhere in the country the classes are growing from a novelty to a staple of a child's education.
Historically, most English-speaking Americans have learned a second language in a traditional fashion through classes offered in a formal school setting, typically beginning in middle or high school.
But more evidence indicates the best time to pick up a language is at a much, much earlier age.
"Young children are just such sponges," said Martha Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. "They have such a capacity to learn, even multiple languages at one time."
Abbott said the research indicates young children who learn multiple languages generally perform better in school because the brain has increased its ability to learn.
"The brain just gets a much better workout," Abbott said.
At the same time, those learning a language earlier in life speak a language more "like a native," Abbott said.
Many parents are seeking a head start for their children in an increasingly global economy in which the ability to speak more than one language has become more than a luxury, she said.
Abbott said a number of public school systems nationwide offer foreign language instruction to elementary school students.
But the number of public schools offering such early childhood language instruction has stopped increasing and even declined in the past decade. Budget difficulties have forced many school districts to re-evaluate their academic offerings.
A survey conducted in 2008 by the Center for Applied Linguistics out of Washington, D.C., indicated 15 percent of elementary schools in the U.S. teach foreign languages.
But that number is down 9 percentage points from 1997, when 24 percent of elementary schools offered such instruction. However, the number of students enrolled in foreign language instruction programs increased nationwide by about 3 percent, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages reported.
Locally, most public school administrators in and around the Tri-Cities said their districts do not offer foreign language instruction before middle school.
In Batavia School District 101, for instance, Chief Academic Officer Brad Newkirk said schools offer Spanish and French in middle and high school. But the district this year was forced by budget constraints to eliminate an elementary school-level Spanish language program.
St. Charles School District 303 is the lone exception among local public school systems, offering Spanish and French instruction to students at Richmond Intermediate School beginning in third grade.
The lack of public instruction has prompted some parents to pay what is necessary to help their children learn in-demand foreign languages such as Spanish, French and Mandarin Chinese through private language programs and private preschools.
Registration at some private programs can carry annual costs of several hundred dollars for weekly classes to several thousand dollars for full bilingual preschool.
Hellmuth said Language Stars offers instruction to about 7,000 students in the Chicago area and, recently, in Washington, D.C., with the vast majority in Chicago's suburbs.
The company brought its program to St. Charles two years ago; it now offers classes two days a week in Spanish and Chinese Mandarin in a temporary space at the church.
She said demand is growing for the instruction.
Ken Fanale of Geneva, whose son, Landon, has been enrolled in the Language Stars Chinese Mandarin program since 2010, admits the instruction does not come cheap. But he said the expense is justified because he expects it will pay dividends later.
"To me, it's just one of the sacrifices we make for him," Fanale said. "We could spend this on a vacation or something else, but this is what we chose. Maybe it will help him get a job or help him out in some other way I can't think of.
"But it seems to me this will have more of a lasting effect than tumbling."
Teaching foreign languages
Listed below are the percentages of each language offered by public and private elementary schools in the U.S. that offered a foreign language:
1. Spanish – 88 percent in 2008, up from 79 percent in 1997
2. French – 11 percent in 2008, down from 27 percent in 1997
3. Latin – 6 percent in 2008, up from 3 percent in 1997
4. Chinese – 3 percent in 2008, up from 0.3 percent in 1997
5. German – 2 percent in 2008, down from 5 percent in 1997

Hi all-
I'm new here, just diagnosed with SM a couple of weeks ago and I've been doing the things you all have probably already been through- trying to learn what this is, figuring out a course of treatment, trying to figure out how to live with it, and what's next.
I have a syrinx in my thoracic spine, I don't know exactly where or how big it is. It's not small, but it's not huge either. I fell off a horse and then started having trouble with my legs, they felt heavy. Once I got my diagnosis and started researching I figured out that it's not the fall off the horse that caused it, I've been struggling with the symptoms for a long time. At this point I've lost about 50% of the function of my left leg, about 25% of my right leg, and lost some strength in my hands. I have a major issue with regulating my body temperature, unlike most I'm always burning up. I sweat buckets when it's not even warm out- I may not be much of a lady but we're supposed to glow, not drip.
I still work full time, I use a cane for balance since my left foot isn't giving me the info I need to walk without falling. I am very lucky to not have too much pain, what I have is manageable. I have been taking Cymbalta for a while for fibromyalgia, and maybe this helps. I also take meloxicam daily, and a heavy duty painkiller only when needed (maybe 1x weekly). I have no idea what my future looks like, due to a complete mess up with my current neurosurgeon I'm looking to change neuros and kind of start over. Neither one wants to do surgery right now because I'm not bad enough yet, and as someone who is very surgery phobic I'm fine with that.
I hope to read through and get some guidance and suggestions for living with this, I hadn't ever heard of it until my diagnosis.
