Odin Sphere - PS2 - Preview
What do you get when you're playing an RPG that isn't really an RPG? A fighting game that isn't really a fighter, and an action game that isn't wholeheartedly action? You could wind up with anything. But in the case of Odin Sphere, you get an action-driven, story-carried, enemy-enveloped adventure that bears the heart and soul of an RPG.
A Little Tekken, a Dash of Castlevania, a Sprinkle of…
Odin Sphere is a concoction of numerous creations. It could be simply described as a side-scrolling hack-n-slash, but that wouldn't do the game justice.
Players control Gwendolyn, a strong and vivacious woman who fights to earn the love and respect of her father. Her strength is derived from her own natural magic. When unleashed, she'll cut through enemies with her sword and cast deadly spells that can eliminate multiple thugs in one seamless hit.
The things that separate Odin Sphere from the dozens of games that feature similar content is how each element is implemented, presented, and executed. Combat is very raw but also natural and intuitive. There is nothing slow about this game. Gwendolyn doesn't merely walk or jump toward her enemies – she runs at them with the will to kill. Jump once and she'll land as expected. Jump twice and she'll hover for a great distance. If timed right, you can usually scan half a level in one jump.
...and with great strength "comes great responsibility." –Uncle Ben (of Spider-Man of fame, not the rice).
Items are scarce and enemies attack from both sides, as well as from above. They may be as tiny as a frog or pumpkin (at least that's what it looks like), or several times the size of the game's leading lady. But all are potentially deadly, especially when they attack in large numbers. The game is very fast and difficult, keeping you on your toes at all times except when in between levels or when visiting a shop.
Much like the Earth, the stages in Odin Sphere are round. Run in one direction for a few seconds and you will come back around to the stage's beginning. At first glance this doesn't seem like the most logical development choice. Circular stages could go on for too long, seem repetitive, and have other related issues.
Again, that's where Odin Sphere differs from other hack-n-slash games. The circular stages are short, well designed, and pack a large dose of hardcore combat into one small space. You'll get through stages quickly but not without a fight. And you won't feel like you're running in circles.
These initial screens focus on the storyline sequences, failing to showcase the strong and inspired fighting engine.
As Gwendolyn fights to survive and earn her father's affection, you can't help but notice the striking details added to every move. She attacks with a quality that can only be described as emotion. You can see it in her face and in her body, the way she moves to dive into a kill. There are several games with cool characters and attacks, but this one is special. It's not just about her being the cool chick in town. Her actions send a much more powerful message than that.
Equally powerful are her allies and leading enemies, including oversized bosses who carry themselves as if they really were as big as they appear. None of the characters are cel-shaded, but they have an interesting cartoon-like appearance that has not been achieved in any other game.
The same can be said for the environments, all of which are rich with layers of detail. That is not a figure of speech – I literally mean layers of detail. The way the backgrounds shift as you move about each level reveal a number of intriguing intricacies that are not often explored in video games. A part of me hates to stress how amazing this game looks when our industry can't decide if games should be games or works of art. But make no mistake – Odin Sphere is a killer game. The fact that it's uniquely beautiful is a wonderful bonus.
Solid voice work and entertaining dialogue round out this highly promising action game. The potent battles, super-fun attacks, and surreal visual presentation are hard to compete with (and the game is not even out yet!). Fans of Castlevania, Devil May Cry, or just action games in general would be wise to make this the next thing they play. Look for it at the end of May.

SYS night at the Rev's on Sunday June 8th was a big success. We more than doubled the attendance from our last Revs event with 90 SYS players, families, and friends all coming together to enjoy a night of great weather and Revolution soccer. In addition to many familiar faces from past events, it was great to see some new SYS families in attendance for the first time as well.
SYS would like to extend their thanks to Jamie Margoupis, owner of Margoupis Construction of Sutton, for helping to restore one of the sheds at Memorial Field. While we still need to replace one shed this upcoming season, with Mr. Margoupis volunteering his time and his expertise, we were able to extend the usable life of another and save thousands of dollars in the process.
If you or your company have ever considered becoming sponsor of local youth athletics, now's your chance. Please email email@example.com for more details.
Sutton Youth Soccer wishes to extend a big THANK YOU to Ed Ritzer who built a bridge between fields 2 and 3 at Memorial as well as the Hough Rd field.

I always cry at the point in the movie where they're all leaving for the royal ball and the evil step sisters rip Cinderella's dress apart so she can't go.
Ok I've eaten dinner and had a glass and a half of wine. All it's done is make me tired. It's 8:30pm and I feel like I could go to bed now.
Another bottle of wine. Just poured my first glass and now it's time to relax. Though I think I'll pace myself a bit better than I did last Saturday. No pantless dancing to Kesha.
I was going to peruse my dash for a while but I'm not really feeling into it. I just want to veg out with a book. I woke up at 4am with a bit of a tummy ache and didn't fall back asleep until 6am. So I slept most of the day away, but at least no wine hangover! Just tired and blah. Also not going to be getting the stuff done that I wanted to today :-/

6 Reasons to Sell This Internet Company
Ishfaque is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) holds the title of the world's largest professional network, with more than 200 million members. According to comScore, LinkedIn is the 23rd most visited Internet property around the globe. However, the company's competitive advantages are minimal; it is no Amazon in terms of having a wide moat, but it surely trades like one. Before buying into the LinkedIn story, investors should evaluate its dark side.
1. Its Competitive Advantage Is Not Durable
LinkedIn is a good company with an innovative twist to existing social media platforms. However, the business doesn't have a wide moat, since its users are not sticky. The professional nature of the company lessens the excitement and hype, which is predominant amongst other social media platforms.
The perception of LinkedIn by many users as 'boring' can be a problematic situation in the long run. The limited barriers to entry, especially for Internet companies with a strong user base like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft, doesn't help either.
2. Dwindling User Engagement
For the new age Web 2.0 companies, the main goal is to sign up users and engage them. Once the user eyeballs are in place, the group can be monetized through various means, with the most popular choice being ad revenue. But the honeymoon phase for LinkedIn just might have ended. User engagement on desktop is headed downwards. Cumulative page views are down for two consecutive quarters, from 9.4 billion views to 8.9 billion views, according to comScore data. This just might be an early red flag for LinkedIn's investor base.
Also, the actual number of members is lower than the registered number of members, as there are duplicate and fictitious accounts. Fake accounts are not a problem for LinkedIn alone, social media rivals, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Twitter face this problem as well. However, the bigger issue is that a small number of active users generate the lion's share of page views, which contributes in overstating the page views per member.
3. Revenue Streams Are Slowing Down
Most of LinkedIn's revenues flow in from the Talent Solutions business. In its 2012 Q3, that segment was responsible for 55% of total revenues. LinkedIn will continue to eat away a large portion of the talent solutions pie, as competing platforms like Monster (NYSE: MWW) continues to struggle.
However, the addressable market of the talent solutions and premium subscriptions business is not very big, and they make up 75% of total revenues for LinkedIn. And soon or later, revenues from the hiring solutions business will hit a ceiling. Advertising revenue from its platform hasn't taken off and will be hard to attract marketers. Advertisers get more users and better targeting capabilities with LinkedIn's internet rivals, Facebook and Google.
LinkedIn utilizes a subscription based revenue model that spans out over a quarter, six months and longer. A key metric for such companies happen to be, deferred revenue (unearned revenue). Why? Because LinkedIn receives cash up front for the services it will provide, and records it as deferred revenue and recognizes them as revenue over the next quarter or more. A look at the deferred revenue as a % of total revenue of LinkedIn portrays a decline in growth, and is a sign of things to come.
4. Competition Will Intensify
Facebook has already teamed up with Monster and a few other sites for the roll-out of the Social Jobs App. Facebook's launch of the Graph Search along with Monster's sequential decline in revenues, are just added incentives for these two companies to build a strong recruiting platform together.
With 5x more users than LinkedIn's 200 million, Facebook can eat away at LinkedIn's recruitment solutions revenue. As these two companies fight for user engagement on their respective platforms, it would be an added enticement for Facebook to build the recruitment portal by teaming up with Monster.
Google+ locks horns with LinkedIn for user engagement as well. And it is ramping up its offerings by offering Google+ Hangouts and other Enterprise based solutions for corporate accounts. And also, most of the traffic on LinkedIn is directed from Google's search, which also poses additional threats.
5. Mobile Monetization
Not surprisingly, roughly 25% of all unique visitors on LinkedIn are from mobile. The secular shift towards mobile-based devices will certainly ramp up that number over time. Unfortunately for the company, mobile monetization hasn't taken off yet. And very likely, user engagement on mobile in terms of page views, will be a lot lower than desktop, which is another negative for the company.
6. Valuation
With respect to paying an exorbitant price for a good company, the evergreen Warren Buffett puts it best: "What is smart at one price is dumb at another."
LinkedIn is poised for growth, at least in the near term. The small size of its revenue base alone will lead to double digit growth for the next few quarters, until that number will fall off a cliff. LinkedIn has outperformed the S&P 500 in 2012 handsomely, and now trades at a TTM P/E of roughly 780, and a forward P/E of around 92. Both of these P/E multiples can be justified for companies with extremely high competitive advantages like Amazon or Facebook, but not for companies with minimal barriers to entry like LinkedIn.
The Bottom Line
The company is in good standing and growing, too, but the astronomically high valuation of LinkedIn reduces the potential for long-term upside in the company. Unless the company manages to widen its competitive advantage in the near term, a wait-and-watch approach sounds about right for LinkedIn.

The sentencing for a grocery store magnate arrested in a teen prostitution sting in February 2011 has been continued until Jan. 8.
Michael Gilliland, the founder of Sunflower Farmers Market, was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Gilliland was arrested at a hotel on Interstate 17 in Phoenix after he offered to pay an undercover agent posing as a 17-year-old girl $100 for sex, according to investigators.
According to the report on the investigation, while Gilliland was soliciting sex over the internet, he was repeatedly told his date was 17.
He was charged with one felony count of child prostitution.
Sunflower Farmers Market has 35 retail stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Texas.
He resigned as the company's CEO in February 2011 after his arrest.

First Aid for Families
When it comes to burns, infants and small children are at a much greater risk because of their small body size and the percentage of body surface burned, which dictates the severity of the injury. Although we still refer to depth of burn (first-, second-, and third-degree), the percentage remains key. A 30 percent or greater body surface burn at a second- or third-degree depth is considered critical, though most children will survive such a burn if properly treated.
The primary first aid concern is to stop the burning once the injury occurs. If a child is burned, immediately rinse the area with cold water for at least 30 to 60 seconds. This will reduce the temperature of the skin and optimally minimize the depth and size of the burn. Apply lightweight gauze over the burn and continue to trickle on small amounts of cool water until the child receives medical attention.
If the burn is sizeable, call 911, as they will begin treatment at the home and continue it en route to the ED. Burns to the face, hands, genital area, or feet are considered higher risk burns and often require hospitalization.
Avoid using ice, ointments, or creams for burns. You should not give the child anything by mouth for pain as it will often be vomited and will usually not help extreme pain from burns.
Be Prepared
It is safe to say that accidents will happen—and we owe it to our loved ones to have the basic skills and understanding of how to prevent and respond to accidents. The principles outlined in this article should serve as an adjunct to some type of formal preparation on the part of parents and care providers.
What can parents do? Take a CPR and first-aid course offered in your community. These courses should be tailored to the background and capability of the student. It's also critical that other caregivers—whether grandparents, nannies, daycare personnel, or preschool teachers—have also completed courses in first-aid and CPR, and know how to handle emergencies. We place a tremendous reliance on these people to also make health decisions for our children in our absence, and the choices you make as parents can make a direct difference in outcomes.
Enjoy your children and be safe!

Stuck in a Running Rut
I've been pretty diligent in my training so far, but last week it finally happened. I skipped a run. I realize there are far more serious and concerning things in the world that could happen, but when I decide to sign up for a race I tend to beat myself up if I don't stick to my training plan. But between a busy week at work, fickle weather and just the overall desire to hit the snooze button, I found myself lacking serious energy to power through almost all of my runs last week.
Instead of dwelling over the fact that I missed a run, I decided to be proactive and get to the bottom of my recent sluggishness. I realized that I had zero energy only when running, and the rest of the day I was fine. This is a clear symptom of a running rut, or as Danny and Katherine Dreyer call it in the book CHI Marathon, an energy leak. In fact, they say missing a training run is an energy leak that happens to almost every runner (whew!). Here's how they suggest getting back on track:

Flying Through a Taper Week
I'm feeling pretty great after last week because it was my taper week! This is basically a week in your training plan where you decrease your mileage, giving your legs a chance to rest. I only had to run 6 miles on Saturday, and after clocking 9 the week before it was a nice change of pace.
Due to weather and perhaps some laziness, I choose to do my shorter runs on the treadmill. I'm sure I am not the first person to feel this way, but I have a love/hate relationship with the treadmill. I think they are great to fit in a run when you only have a certain amount of time, the weather outside is crappy or if the only way you will motivate yourself to run is if a machine is physically making you do it (been there!). But for training purposes it is better to run outside, even when the elements are not in your favor. What if it rains on race day, are you going to stay home? No, of course not. So I try to train outside as much as possible, with the exception of last week.
Since I use the gym in my apartment building and the people watching is at a minimum, I use treadmill time to do some speed work to make the time go by faster. Here's how I broke my runs down for my 4-milers:
- .50 mile warm up at 6.0, increasing to 6.5 slowly
- .50 mile run at 6.7
- .50 mile sprint at 7.5
- .50 mile run at 6.7
- .50 mile hill at a 6.0 incline
- .50 mile sprint at 7.5
- .50 mile run at 6.7
- .50 mile cool down at 6.0
If I am lucky enough to snag a treadmill with a TV, I'll alternate between this routine and watching a show, sprinting during the commercials. Coming up this week I'm heading back outside to do my first double digit run, 10 miles. Wish me luck!
Tell me: How do you beat treadmill boredom?

My Legs Get an Unexpected Rest (and Some New Ink!)
Another week goes down in the books! I can't believe I'll be running this race so soon! I have to admit, I'm actually getting really excited,
the longer I train the more confident I feel about actually being able to run this thing. But this week was a little strange for me. You know the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?" Well, that was not so much the case for me.
My sister Hannah and I were there for an appearance and while I was there I decided to get a tattoo. Not that big of a deal, but in the whim of the moment I thought it would be awesome to put the tattoo on the top of my foot. When I made this decision I was thinking about how adorable it would look in heels and strappy sandals. I was not thinking about healing time or not being able to run. That's right, not being able to run for four days. Moral of the story is: Don't get a tattoo on your foot when training for a half-marathon.

My Half-Marathon Mantra
Week one – done and done! I have to say that the first week of training went surprisingly well. I can't tell you how much it helps to have a good training program to follow. It was truly my saving grace last week by keeping me on track with my runs. Even though I usually run four times a week, it's amazing how different it was for me to basically run every day. Not to mention having a plan that dictates your mileage!
For the most part I did stick to the plan. Due to traveling, I switched two days around but managed to get all the miles in regardless. Even as I write this, sitting on a plane headed to the West coast, it feels great knowing that I got up extra early this morning to run. Just like I said, "done and done" was my motto for the week. I'm also happy with my choice to follow the beginner plan, because although I feel like I'm in good physical shape, I am very much a beginner as far as racing goes.

Week 1: Starting Off Strong with New Tunes
The first week of training is always my favorite. Why? Because it is the easiest! No, I'm kidding of course (OK fine, half kidding). I enjoy it because it gives me a chance to check out my pace and see how my long runs will go in the upcoming weeks. Also, I find if you get in all your runs during that first week, it makes it that much easier to keep it up in the weeks to follow. Skipping even one run right off the bat can lead to a slippery slope for me, so I was happy to start off on the right foot.
Being extremely Type A, I love running with a training schedule not just for the appreciation of a plan, but also because it lets me plan what runs I want to do on which day. I rarely follow schedules as they are written; I prefer to pair my runs with my work and social schedule that week. Big birthday party Friday night? Then clearly Saturday will not be the best day for a long run.
Here's how my schedule looked last week:

Sticking to a New Stretching Routine
Prior to training, I was beginning to feel a bit achy after my runs, no matter what distance they were. That paired with some serious back pain from sitting at a desk all day landed me in Dr. Shure's chair at Madison Square Wellness. I wanted to get a consult on my alignment and what was going with my muscles in general so that once I started training my issues wouldn't worsen. Below, Dr. Shure's evaluation and course of action as I start to train in the upcoming weeks:
Interesting Findings:
- My alignment is really out of whack! Dr. Shure had me lie down and reach my arms up over my head. The left side of my body did as it was told, elbow snug against the side of my head. The right side, however, was a little out of line (literally). Because I use my right hand to handle my mouse at work all day I had serious tension on the right side of my body, especially in my shoulder and upper back.
- You might think alignment issues aren't important to training, but Dr. Shure told me that by not stretching and planting myself in front of my desk without taking any breaks during the day, this would quickly affect my posture while running, which could then lead to other aches and pains down the road.
To help maintain vertical alignment, Dr. Shure gave me a series of stretches to incorporate into my workouts. Here are some you can do at home:
- Pec Stretch: Start by standing in a doorway or next to a fixed object with arm lifted to the side at 90 degrees. Put full forearm on the door frame or object and step through, creating a stretch in the pec region. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with other arm.
- Rope Stretch: Start by standing, holding rope with the right hand over and the left hand under. Actively reach right hand down back and give gentle assistance with left hand, exhaling and holding stretch for two seconds. Actively reach left hand up back as high as possible and give gentle assistance with right hand, exhaling and holding stretch for two second. Repeat for 10 repetitions, then switch hands and repeat.

Meet Colleen, Our Half-Marathon Experienced Runner
Hi there! I'm Colleen, Web Editor here at FitnessMagazine.com and I am super excited to run my second More/Fitness Half-Marathon this year on April 15!
The last time I did this race in 2009 we had a freak day of weather that hit high 80 degree temperatures so early in the morning that New York Road Runners was forced to make the race non-competitive to protect runners from heat exhaustion and getting sick. That was the first half-marathon I ever ran, and I was terrified. I followed all the training rules by the book, which wasn't necessarily a good thing. There is a saying in racing, "Nothing new, tried and true." This basically means that race day is not the time to eat or wear something you've never ran in before, just in case it upsets your stomach, causes chafing, etc. The entire time I trained I wore Under Armour Women's Evo ColdGear Tights and nothing, not even the oppressing heat at 8:30 a.m. was going to pry them off my body for race day.
As you can guess, that was a big mistake. I finished the race but not without being very uncomfortable and very hot, something that could have been avoided if I had just worn shorts! Since that day I have tweaked the saying to include, "Nothing new, tried and true (unless it is 80 degrees outside and you are wearing pants!)". I am excited to run the half this year with more running experience under my belt. Since that race, I've completed the ING NYC 2010 Marathon (that's me crossing the finish line above!) and am gearing up to run another fall marathon in 2012.

Meet Olivia, Our Half-Marathon Beginner Runner (and Biggest Loser Season 11 Champ!)
First, I have to tell you how EXCITED I am to be doing this project for FITNESS Magazine. That being said I will totally admit that I am scared to death of running a half-marathon. I'm sure that might be surprising to most since I survived eight months with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels on Season 11 of The Biggest Loser, but I've never run a half-marathon! A 5K yes, marathon NO.
Over the past few weeks I have been trying to figure out what I'm so scared of. Is it the distance? Is it the fear of the unknown? Am I scared I will get injured? Um, the answer is YES, YES, and Y-E-S! One thing I learned through my journey on The Biggest Loser is that when you face your fears head on there will always be growth, and you will probably learn something in the process. It's funny, alongside that fear is some real, true excitement (told you I was nuts!). It seems crazy that both of those emotions can coexist in my body, but they very much do. I know that I can do this, but in true "Olivia Style" I take comfort in a plan. I know Hannah is somewhere rolling her eyes at this very moment.

Songs to Power Through Training
I looked at the calendar this morning and had a minor panic attack. This race is creeping up on me sooner than I would like it to! In four short weeks I will be running my first half-marathon with thousands of other women. Ahh! Mentally, I feel like I need another month to prepare myself, but physically I think I will be able to do it. In the past month alone, I have noticed such a change in my stamina, my willpower to run and my physique. I am so happy to have gotten this far, and am even more excited to cross the finish line!
My iPod really helps me to push through long runs. I have a few playlists that I alternate between, but I have compiled a pretty good list of songs that pump me up and keep me going. I'm definitely going to have to add some more tunes to my iPod before race day, but here are some favorites that are currently on my playlist:
"Misery Business," Paramore (For the rebel in me.)
"Who's That Chick," David Guetta, featuring Rihanna
"Push Push," Kat DeLuna, featuring Akon (Great for running up hills!)
"Animal," Neon Trees
"Side by Side," Blessed by a Broken Heart (Every girl has a little metal chick inside her, right?)
"Better Than Revenge," Taylor Swift
"Blow," Ke$ha (Such a great beat.)
"Memories," David Guetta, featuring Kid Cudi
"Boom Boom Pow," Black Eyed Peas (This song makes me feel like I am Superwoman and can do anything!)
"Yeah 3x," Chris Brown
What songs are you currently running to? I'd love to know so that I can add them to my race day playlist!
P.S.: As a follow-up to my last post I just want you all to know that I made that white bean hummus over the weekend and it's AMAZING! Definitely a tasty and healthy snack to get you through the day.

Bendicks Bittermints (7.05 oz. Box)
Original Bendicks Bittermints Made with Pure Peppermint Oil and the Darkest Chocolate
Bittermints, the original and most famous mint from that legendary British chocolatier, possess an intensely bitter dark chocolate coating that's balanced by the sweetness of the firm fondant center. 95% cocoa is what makes the dark chocolate so strong and flavorful, while pure peppermint oil makes the fondant cool and refreshing. Difficult to find in the States, so we went to the source in England. 7.05 oz. box.

Did You Know?
Long before the Bighorn River was tamed by the Yellowtail Dam, the roiling waters through the canyon were feared. During spring snowmelt, the water turned into a raging torrent, a combination of whirlpools, rapids, and eddies. Conversely, the river through the canyon had a reputation for being placid by late summer, when dry heat and lack of rainfall turned it into a sedate stream. More...

About the Field of Mental Health Counseling
Mental Health Counseling is a distinct profession with national standards for education, training and clinical practice. New York Mental Health Counselors Association (www.nymhca.org) is the state organization that represents the interests of the clinical counselors of New York State. As stated in the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, mental health counselors work with individuals, families, and groups to address and treat mental and emotional disorders and to promote mental health. They are trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques used to address issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction and substance abuse, suicidal impulses, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, and grief. They also help with job and career concerns, educational decisions, mental and emotional health issues, and relationship problems. In addition, they may be involved in community outreach, advocacy, and mediation activities. Some specialize in delivering mental health services for the elderly. Mental health counselors often work closely with other mental health specialists, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, psychiatric nurses, and school counselors.
Mental health counselors work in community health and social service organizations, day treatment programs, outpatient mental health clinics, hospitals, or private practice. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, employment for mental health counselors is expected to grow by 24 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. "Under managed care systems, insurance companies increasingly are providing for reimbursement of counselors as a less costly alternative to psychiatrists and psychologists. In addition, there has been increased demand for mental health services as individuals become more willing to seek help."
CNNMoney.com ranked Mental Health Counselor number 33 of the top 50 Best Jobs in America, based on average salary ($53,150) and projected 10-year job growth (27.18%).

Antique show raises funds for library
The Whatcom County Library Foundation is sponsoring an Antiques Road Show-style fundraiser on Saturday, June 16, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Lynden Community Center at 401 Grover Street.
"It benefits the whole library system, which is county-wide," said foundation board member Georgia Donovan of Blaine. This includes the Blaine library, one of nine branches in the county.
Donovan said that experts in fine and costume jewelry, U.S. and foreign coins, fine art and collectibles will be present to offer their knowledge and analysis of items for a $5 charge per item. Local historians will also be present to help in the process.
There is a suggested limit of three items per person, and with large items such as furniture people are asked to bring clear, detailed photos of the item rather than the item itself.
Proceeds will go to the Whatcom County Library Foundation to fund special programs and building projects.
"Excitement is building for what is our first official fundraiser and we are pleased to see growing community support for the work of the foundation," said Randy Erickson, foundation board chairman, "so if you want to put that interest into supporting library services in Whatcom County, then I hope to see you at this event!"

Dir: Peter Chan Ho-sun
Scr: Ivy Ho
Cast: Leon Lai, Maggie Cheung, Eric Tsang, Kristy Yang
1996 / Colour / D Beta / Cantonese / Chi & Eng Subtitles / 118min
With 1997 looming in the background, Peter Chan Ho-sun and Ivy Ho take Hong Kong's anxiety, rootless existence, nostalgia for the colony and American dreams, and put them into the theme of Chinese people's eternal homelessness, an imagery sustained throughout the film. The couple who drifted to Hong Kong from the mainland then the US and the Hong Kongers around them who either die or break up with their loved ones, echo the fate of legendary Taiwanese songstress Teresa Tang, who shot to fame in Hong Kong, took the mainland by storm, and died in Thailand. It's a whole nation's lament—melancholic, romantic. Seventeen years on, Hong Kongers are returning from overseas and heading North. Replace Tsim Sha Tsui in the film with Sanlitun in Beijing and you have the same story playing over and over again. The film is not only Peter Chan's best work to date, it's a classic with the strongest sense of Chinese modernity among Golden Harvest productions.©Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"I loved this design as soon as I saw it. But it took me a while to decide since they didn't have samples to mail. I chose different fonts for my invitations, and decided to purchase them. They are perfect! Exactly what the name says. The delivery was made before the dates they had sent me on the confirmation, which was a great surprise since I couldn't wait to see them! They came in a pretty box and it was a very protected packaging! I am extremely proud to give these to my guests!"
"The quality of products and service was outstanding. I wish they would have provided few extra envelopes for just in case."
"I personalized the color, fonts and wording. This template let me choose a design and I was able to customize everything else. LOVE the shimmer paper. Makes it look more formal, and elegant."
"Simple, nautical, and beautiful! Just was I was looking for when shopping for my wedding invitation. Although the color options are limited, the design is just perfect! Customer service is lovely too, which makes the whole purchasing experience enjoyable!"

In some Sacramento neighborhoods, earning a million dollars usually takes the work of a lifetime. In others, it usually takes a few years.
This chart shows the length of time it would take a household in 20 Sacramento communities earning the average annual income to make $1 million, according to census figures. For instance, the average annual household income in Elk Grove is about $91,000, meaning it would take just under 11 years for a household earning that to make $1 million, in current dollars.
Households in the wealthiest local community, Granite Bay, typically earn about as much in ten weeks as residents in the least wealthy local community, South Sacramento, earn in a year.

Josh Hall, 31, loves to play with Legos. He was reintroduced to his childhood toy at age 26.
Josh Hall found a 3-D computer model of the Cathedral of Learning and rebuilt the iconic Pittsburgh structure in Legos to win a contest.
Lego Cathedral of Learning
Josh Hall built a Lego Cathedral of Learning.
The miniature Cathedral of Learning even has the victory lights that illuminate the real cathedral after every victory by the Pitt football team.
The Cathedral of Learning, as seen on Blog of Josh Hall.
Shannon Perrine visited Josh Hall and saw some of his Lego creations.
Shannon Perrine also found other Lego creations at Josh Hall's home. Here's the living room from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
A Lego version of the "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" set.
The closet door can swing open. Inside, there are little Mr. Rogers sweaters on hangers.
A quick response code made of Lego pieces.
This miniature version of "The Lego Movie" sign was made from Legos.
Josh Hall has several containers full of Legos: "When I bought my first house, mom was getting rid of all my stuff and she said, 'Here, take this stuff up with you.'"
"Now we're adults, and we can afford the parts that we need in the quantities that we need."
A rally was held for Pittsburgh Pirates fans in Market Square one day before the National League Wild Card Game.
This fan really got into the spirit at the Pittsburgh Pirates wild-card rally in Market Square.
And he has a tag team partner!
The Pirates rally towel says it all: "We Believe" and "Raise The Jolly Roger."
Members of the "Bucco Brigade" passed out rally towels to Pirates fans in the crowd.

Newborn babies were dressed in Pittsburgh Pirates onesies and bandanas by the nurses at St. Clair Hospital in Mt. Lebanon to celebrate the Buccos returning to the Major League Baseball postseason.
Little bats and baseballs were placed into the cribs with the babies.
The babies also had tiny yellow Jolly Roger blankets.
Raise The Jolly Roger
Back in 1994, WTAE's Sheldon Ingram reported on the growth in weekend business that was happening at Downtown Pittsburgh retailers. Let's see how the Golden Triangle has changed since that time, and which stores are still open.
The canopy that Sheldon was standing in front of is still there, but the Smithfield Cafe is closed and the former restaurant on Smithfield Street is vacant.
Also gone is the Pittsburgh Technical Institute. (See the "PTI" sign outside the door on the left?) It moved to a suburban campus in North Fayette Township.
Smithfield Cafe closed for good after the owner was unable to find a new tenant for the upper floors of the building.
From 1994: A look at the Wiener World restaurant across the street from Smithfield Cafe.
Wiener World is still open today, dishing out the dogs and fries, not to mention ice cream and pizza slices.
One block down from the Smithfield Cafe, there was a large Barnes & Noble bookstore and cafe. Here's how it looked in 1994.
Today, 20 years later, the Barnes & Noble store is closed and vacant. It was briefly used by "Pop-Up Canada!" earlier this year to promote Pittsburgh's economic relationship with Canada.
From 1994: Burlington Coat Factory at the intersection of Smithfield Street and Sixth Avenue. You can see Barnes & Noble's green awnings in the background.
Today, the intersection still looks pretty much the same. Rite Aid is next to Burlington now.
In 1994, Jos. A. Bank was located on the next block of Smithfield after the Burlington store, at the corner of Oliver Avenue. Now, this men's clothing store has moved to Fifth Avenue.
Hop across the curb at Oliver and you're at Saks Fifth Avenue. This department store on Smithfield Street was still going fairly strong in 1994.
Today, Saks is closed. Rumors are flying about who might move into the building next, but nothing has been finalized.
A year from now, the intersection of Smithfield Street and Oliver Avenue will look much different. The old Saks building will be gone -- replaced by storefront retail, with parking and apartments above it -- and the Oliver Building will be renovated.
A Lord & Taylor department store was operating across the street from Saks in 1994. It has been closed for years.
Today, the old Lord & Taylor building finally has signs of new life.
PNC bought the former Lord & Taylor property and is turning it into office space. Renovations are ongoing inside the building.
The cascading fountain next to the old Lord & Taylor has also been renovated, as part of a larger project to spruce up Mellon Square.
Continuing our trip down Smithfield Street, we come to the Kaufmann's department store at Fifth Avenue. It was a staple of Downtown Pittsburgh in 1994, anchoring one end of the Fifth-Forbes shopping corridor.
Here's how the Fifth Avenue entrance to Kaufmann's looked in 1994.
Twenty years later, here's how that same corner looks today. Kaufmann's is long gone, replaced by Macy's.
(But the facade on the Smithfield Street side still reminds us of the building's history!)
Across the street from Kaufmann's in 1994 was Integra Bank at the corner of Fifth and Smithfield. Next to the bank was Pretzels Plus. It was hard to resist the delicious aroma of fresh pretzels as you walked past the window or stood and waited for a bus.
A Lane Bryant plus-size clothing store was also in this area.
As you continued down the block, heading toward Wood Street, you would pass a Sam Goody music store, a Hit Or Miss women's clothing store and a McCrory's department store.
The block looks a lot different now. Pretzels Plus is gone, and Ralph's Discount Store is now Rainbow.
Integra Bank was replaced by National City Bank and later First Niagara Bank. Today, it's vacant.
Fifth Avenue today: A former Payless ShoeSource store next to Rainbow is closed and vacant. 2T Jewelers is located next door, between the empty store and the Warner Centre.
Back in 1994, the Warner Centre, with its big food court and many retail stores, was a main part of the shopping district along Fifth Avenue.
The building is still open today, but there are plenty of vacancies inside, and the upstairs food court with restaurants like Warner Cafe and Grand Taco is long gone.
Also gone are the many popular retailers, including Waldenbooks and the Sam Goody music store, which was accessible via the main lobby and a separate street entrance (pictured, far right).
The old Sam Goody music store ... (Music stores? They used to have those?) ... is now My Lady Boutique.
The rest of the stores toward the end of the block have been torn down to make way for construction of a PNC skyscraper.
Here's a look across the street at the other side of Fifth Avenue, as a bustling daytime crowd walks past a multi-level Wendy's restaurant in 1994.
Today, that restaurant is closed. You can still see the outline of the old Wendy's sign on the side of the empty building.
An old Jr. Frosty sticker on the front door is slowly peeling away. Just below it is another sticker with the restaurant's (former) business hours.
A couple of doors away is this T-Mobile store, which was a sports merchandise store back in the day in 1994.
In 1994, the Lazarus name was new to Pittsburgh. The city invested millions to build this department store on Fifth Avenue at Wood Street, envisioning it as an anchor of the Fifth-Forbes corridor. It was renamed Lazarus-Macy's in an effort to boost sluggish sales before it shut down in 2004.
Today, the old Lazarus building is called Piatt Place. It has condominiums on the upper floors and two restaurants -- Capital Grille and McCormick & Schmick's -- on the ground level, along with TD Ameritrade, the Izzazu hair salon and the Doncaster fashion studio. The state also has offices here.
A small lot sits next door to Piatt Place on Fifth Avenue. (It always seems like there's construction work happening there, but the space remains vacant.)
Directly across from Kaufmann's, there was an entire block full of businesses on the bus-lane side of Smithfield Street in 1994, including Ritz Camera, Sbarro Pizzeria, a magazine and newspaper stand, and the Integra Bank that we mentioned before. They're all gone now.
Here's a wide look at that same block of Smithfield. Oxford Development wants to build a high-rise on this site, or possibly renovate the existing building, but those plans have stalled. Oxford is still looking for a big-name corporate tenant to anchor the project.
As you turn the corner from Smithfield Street onto Forbes Avenue, here's a current look at the Forbes entrance to the Warner Centre. A preschool/nursery (advertised in the lower right corner) is one of the remaining tenants.
Honus Wagner Sporting Goods was directly across Forbes Avenue from the Warner Centre. This was the place to be in 1994 if you were looking for the newest Pirates and Steelers gear, or merchandise like Starter jackets and hats of non-Pittsburgh teams, which were hard to find in the days before online shopping.
Today, Honus Wagner Sporting Goods is closed and the store is vacant. Point Park University owns the property now.
Point Park also bought the neighboring properties. It plans to demolish them and make way for a new, relocated Pittsburgh Playhouse. The school has greatly increased its Downtown footprint since 1994, when it was much smaller and still known as Point Park College.
Taking a look back across the street, the building next to the Warner Centre on Forbes is still standing, but the businesses on the rest of the block extending down to Wood Street are all gone, having been demolished.
In 1994, there was a record store at the end of that block, and a Pizza Hut next door was always packed at lunchtime. Today, the whole block is gone. It will soon be the home of the city's newest skyscraper, the Tower at PNC Plaza.
Work on the Tower at PNC Plaza is progressing quickly. Located catercorner from One PNC Plaza, it will occupy the entire block of Wood Street between Fifth and Forbes avenues.
As you continue down Forbes Avenue toward Market Square, the buildings that housed most of the businesses on the south side of the block in 1994 (National Record Mart, George Aiken's restaurant, etc.) have been torn down.
A mixed-use project called The Gardens at Market Square is underway here. It will include office space, a parking garage and a Hilton Garden Inn hotel.
The McDonald's restaurant that was on the corner in 1994 is gone, but the building is still standing.
The city renovated the building with support from state funds. Next to be renovated are the "Skinny Building" across the street and the Roberts building next door to it. The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation is overseeing the project.
From 1994: A shot of the area near Point State Park and Gateway Center, as seen from Commonwealth Place.
Another look at the same area from 1994.
Paris Hilton was only 13 when this downtown hotel near Point State Park still bore the name of the chain that her great-grandfather founded.
Today, 20 years later, it's being operated as a Wyndham hotel.
Located nearby is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette building. Here's a shot from 1994, just one year after the end of a lengthy strike and the shutdown of the Pittsburgh Press. The P-G is still in business at this location but will soon move its printing operations to the Clinton Industrial Park in Findlay Township.
Mellon Bank still had a major presence in Pittsburgh in 1994.
The name was prominently displayed at the top of the Mellon Bank Center skyscraper.
Today, it's the BNY Mellon Center. It was renamed following the merger of Bank of New York and Mellon Financial.
In 1994, if you headed uptown just two blocks from the Mellon Bank Center, you found the Civic Arena. Nicknamed the "Igloo," it was the home of Pittsburgh Penguins hockey. (Remember, this was just two years after the Pens won the Stanley Cup.)
Near the end of the '90s, the arena that had become known as "The house that Mario Lemieux built" was renamed Mellon Arena.
Today, as you look down Mario Lemieux Place, there's no indication that Lemieux was ever here. The arena is gone and an empty parking lot sits in its place.
A new arena, the Consol Energy Center, was built across Centre Avenue from the old Igloo. It's nestled between Epiphany Catholic Church (right) and the new Cambria Suites hotel (left).
The Cambria Suites hotel on Centre Avenue.
The U.S. Steel Tower is Downtown Pittsburgh's tallest and most famous skyscraper. In 1994, it was called the USX Tower, a name it kept throughout the decade of the 1990s.
U.S. Steel still has its world headquarters here and is still the building's main tenant ... but there has been one very big change over the years.
These days, the UPMC sign is prominently displayed atop the Steel Building. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is headquartered here, and it leases several floors, including the 62nd floor that used to be the Top of the Triangle restaurant.

Medicare began offering a diabetes self-management training benefit in 2002. This benefit is available under Medicare Part B (part of "original Medicare").
The Part B benefit provides payment for:
Three important conditions apply to Part B DSMT benefits:
The referring medical provider, the licensed instructor, and the support staff all make up the multi-disciplinary team that are working in a collaborative manner to improve the overall health of patients with diabetes. An essential member of a multidisciplinary team is one licensed professional, who is called the primary qualified instructor. A primary qualified instructor must be a:
In addition to the qualified professional, a program should consider using community health workers as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
If a DSMT program is in a designated rural area, then Medicare will allow a registered dietitian to provide DSMT and receive Medicare reimbursement on his/her own, without the use of a multi-disciplinary team.
The Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) benefit is a complementary service to DSMT that registered dietitians or nutrition professionals can provide to persons with diabetes. This Medicare Part B benefit covers comprehensive nutrition therapy to foster behavior change. MNT provides 3 hours of individualized care during the first 12 month period following initiation of services.

Leftover thoughts from Celtics-Cavaliers, starring Anderson Varejao's 20-20 night and Boston's young point guard growth
♣ How in the world did Anderson Varejao have 20 points and 20 rebounds? Because he was a tornado while the Celtics were a calm, 70-degree day. You'd rather have the calm day weather-wise, but damn it, tornadoes do a hell of a lot more damage. Varejao sank Cleveland's first three buckets, and they were all exact replicas of this:
Jermaine O'Neal, after the game: "I'm probably the reason (Anderson) Varejao got hot. I gave him a couple of uncontested shots." Attaboy, Jermaine!
And the 10 offensive rebounds? Several of them were very reminiscent of this:
Brandon Bass begins to make a box out motion, but thinks better of it. Paul Pierce starts to grab the rebound, but decides he doesn't want to break a nail. And Varejao swoops in for the kill.
Doc Rivers says it all the time: energy is a skill. Anderson Varejao pounded 12 Five-Hour Energies prior to the game, while each Celtic downed a pound of molasses and 40 Chicken McNuggets.
The result was that Varejao had 20 rebounds compared to 15 for the Boston starters combined. In the second half, according to Paul Flannery, Varejao grabbed 13 boards and THE ENTIRE CELTICS TEAM had 10.
♣ Excuse my capital letter binge and potential hyperbole, but KYRIE IRVING IS ONE HELL OF A POINT GOD, a rare talent who seems to disprove those who believe in nurture over nature. Lebron James was granted the athleticism and strength of a Syberian tiger. Shaquille O'Neal was born with the size of the Washington Monument. And Irving, like Chris Paul, just seems to have an innate sense of pace, as if he reads bedtime stories to his defender and then bursts by as soon as he sees the eyelids start to close. You can try teaching what Irving knows, but it's a gift. Avery Bradley could spend the next 10 years locked in a gym doing drills with John Stockton, and he would never grasp the intricacies of the point guard position that Irving — just a 19-year old rookie — seems to have been born with.
P.S. — Irving is born in 1992. I feel really old.
♣ During last night's game, Marquis Daniels received a DNP-CD. His minutes went to Sasha Pavlovic, who actually played okay in a short stint, shooting 2-2 en route to notching four points and one rebound in six minutes. I'm not sure what's going on there. I know Daniels hasn't been playing great, and I know he's missed a lot of easy shots this year. But losing minutes to Pavlovic? That shit cray.
♣ Rajon Rondo went down seven games ago and the Celtics promptly lost to the Phoenix Suns, scoring just 71 points against a Phoenix defense that couldn't stop a running faucet, never mind a legitimate NBA offense. Since then, the Celtics are improbably 5-1 without their star point guard, with quality wins against the Orlando Magic (twice) and Indiana Pacers. Why? Partially because Paul Pierce hit his stride. Partially because the Celtics are beginning to work into shape. Partially because Jermaine O'Neal got injured too. (Note: I'm just kidding, I think.) And partially because Rondo's replacements, Avery Bradley and E'Twaun Moore, haven't been half bad.
At the beginning of the season, we guessed that Boston without Rondo was the equivalent of Castaway without Tom Hanks — imagine if that movie had just been two hours of Wilson chilling on a deserted island, extrapolate that onto an NBA court, and that's what we thought Boston's chances were with Avery Bradley as a starting point guard. But Bradley's playing okay, and even better, he's beginning to develop. He wasn't hitting jumpers, so he started to manufacture buckets on sharp cuts to the basket. He often got his shot blocked at the rim, so he's become more selective with his drives. And he's turning the ball over very infrequently.
He had one turnover in 37 minutes against Cleveland last night, three in his last three games combined, and just eight total in the five games since registering six turnovers against the Washington Wizards. I understand Bradley's low turnover rate is partially due to the fact that he actually creates very little offense. But he's also improved his decision-making and cut out unnecessary mistakes.
Moore, meanwhile, is developing into the mature (if not incredibly explosive) offensive threat Danny Ainge envisioned when he drafted the Purdue product with the No. 55 pick. Allow me to turn this over to Paul Flannery. (WEEI)
Over the last four games, Moore has made 11-of-18 shots and gone 5-for-10 from 3-point range. Moore has been steady, if unspectacular, at the point with 10 assists and eight turnovers and has quickly gained the trust of the coaching staff, as well as his teammates.
The tandem isn't perfect. But they haven't hurt Boston nearly as much as I thought they would, and Rondo's absence has allowed them to settle into their roles and gain some valuable experience.
Until next time, folks.

How old do you feel? I must be ancient b.1976…
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Sorry but you're not; I'm ancient…b.1953. Almost dinosaur! At least I would box out and try and rebound better than PP and the others not doing so. Go Cs…hit the f'in boards tonight!!!
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Yeah man, I was more or less making the point that 24 years old ain't old at all nor i b.1953 for that matter if it makes you feel better. All the talk that the Big 3 are old is kinda annoying while I'm on the subject. The time is here and now for the Celtics, only how bad do they want it?
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Although the offense is being initiated by Bradley or Moore it's being run through Pierce. Both are capable of getting the ball past half court, but they struggle getting the offense into their sets. Before Allen returned to line up the unit of Bradley/Pietrus/Pierce/Garnett/O'Neal produced a 3-0 record and +15 deferential. So this has been a nice tweak by Doc.
There's been some chatter about Varejeo being traded to a contender, but I do not see Danny using an assets like #1′s or JO's expiring contract because Sideshow Bob would cut into the cap space and with cap holds we only have 25m to spend in free agency. I see Danny standing pat unless Kaman can be bought in off a buy out or perhaps you look at Psycho T who may be on the market. Indy has lost Hill and would love to wrap up Hibbert and perhaps sign Gordon. A package of Dooling and Wilcox allows them to clear 3m in cap space next season. Hansbrough gives us rebounding and hustle points akin to Varejeo and is a nice insurance policy in case Bass decides to test the market.

text: Hi, Just had an inspector not pass a water heater because the cold water inlet has a 3/4" threaded brass ball valve on a 3/4" galvanized pipe stub out of the wall. The house is plumbed in Galv. He stated that a dielectric union was required in between the galv. & the brass valve. 2010 California plumbing code does say "dielectric unions shall be used at all points of connection where there is a dissimilarity of metals". So I guess it's letter of the law but has anyone ever done this or heard of anyone requiring this? And I'd love to know a what he wants to do at every brass hose bib & brass angle stop!? Thanks

Summer has ended and so has most of the formal bike-racing season. 2012 has been a year with some memorable highs for the Subaru Trek Mountain Bike Team: two members making Olympic teams, gold at Pan-Am Games, World Cup top 10s, and two National Champions.
Pro XCT
The finale of the Pro XCT six-race series was held in Wautoma, Wisconsin. Coming just a week after the Olympics, at least six Olympic athletes were on teams riding in the Pro XCT, adding to the excitement for participants and spectators.
Legacy Cross Country Event
First onto Mt. Morris were the women for a 20-mile, five-lap race. Heather Irmiger was running solo for the women's team because Emily Batty was still nursing her broken collarbone. Despite a brush with a tree, Irmiger finished a solid fourth.
The men's event was a 24-mile, six-lap event. A hard-fought race provided U-23 rider Russell Finsterwald with his first-ever elite podium with his fifth-place finish. In front of him was Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski (JHK) with his fourth-place run. Sam Schultz finished 10th after leading the lead lap and feeling under the weather.
Impreza Short Track Event
The next day the short track race was held. It is a shorter loop featuring smaller climbs, few descents, and a quicker pace.
For the women's race, it was 18 minutes on course, plus three more laps. Heather hung out in the top three the entire time, letting the leaders do most of the legwork and waiting for the right time to make her move to the front and pull away. In the end, she was victorious.
For the men's race, it was 20 minutes on course, plus three more laps. Headed into the first climb on the first lap, a clashing of the riders on the transition took out the Subaru Trek riders. Finsterwald came out with a bent wheel and couldn't continue. JHK then had the entire field quite a way in front of him; but he was up to the challenge, finishing 17th out of 39. He even put on a show for the fans, doing on-demand wheelies.
