Call of Duty 2014: first screenshot released
(Auto resize: show original)
IS this WWII??
The image was displayed during a panel entitled Quest for Quality: Maximizing the Relationship Between Creative and Production, which featured speakers from Sledgehammer.
This year's game will be the first since Activision switched the Call of Duty series to a three year development cycle, adding Sledgehammer Games to a rotation which has traditionally been shared between Infinity Ward and Treyarch.
2014 will mark the debut Sledgehammer effort, and is said to be the first installment to prioritise next-gen consoles, according to Activision publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg.
MechRunner to release for PS4, Vita and PC in July
While the game is confirmed for a July release, developer Spark Plug Games is seeking $25,000 on Kickstarter so that it can further polish the game before release.
"We could just stick a bow on it and kick it out the door, but we love it too much. It deserves a strong finish and so we'd be thrilled to have YOUR support as we put all of the polish and TLC into this game that we can before launch," the studio wrote.
The procedurally generated levels will allow mechs to morph from a robot to a tank on the fly, while weapon customisation and boss battles are also confirmed.
'Titanfall Expedition' DLC Unveiled
(Auto resize: show original)
Well before Titanfall actually hit the Xbox One and PC platforms, developer Respawn Entertainment had put into place plans to support their online-only multiplayer game through downloadable content. They promised that some of the post-release content – modes, updates, gameplay tweaks – would be free, while the more substantial additions, like new maps and (potentially) new Titans, would come at a cost. At the time, however, DLC details for Titanfall were hard to come by, as the focus was placed on the game's core elements prior to launch.
Now that some time has passed since Titanfall's launch – on PC, Xbox One, and now Xbox 360 – Respawn is ready to talk DLC. In fact, they used their PAX East 2014 retrospective panel to announce the first expansion, titled Titanfall Expedition, and confirm its release for May of this year.
While details are fairly slim, we do know that Expedition will include three maps set after the story campaign of Titanfall. They are titled Swampland, Runoff, and War Games, and each will presumably offer a nice change of scenery for Titanfall players.
Swampland is the map highlighted in the promo art below, and, as the name implies, it will feature a dense, forest-like area set among the ruins of alien technology; Runoff is apparently a loosely connected extension of Swampland that features "pipes and water"; and War Games uses a Pilot/Titan training facility as its setting. Although Respawn did not confirm a price point for Titanfall Expedition, players can secure the pack right now by purchasing the $25 Season Pass.
In addition to paid DLC talk, Respawn also teased a few free additions to Titanfall, including a 2v2 variant for the Last Titan Standing mode, a hash tag system that will allow players to coordinate together (a la clans), new Burn Cards, and decals for a little extra Titan customization. They wouldn't confirm any release dates for these new items, but promised they are all on the way.
While new bells and whistles for Titanfall should encourage players to jump back online, it was the promise of customizable modes by Respawn that caught our attention the most. Respawn wouldn't commit to the idea, but they did tease that players might soon see variations on the game's core modes like the 2v2 Last Titan Standing variant. Some of those modes will only appear for a week a two as part of a player test, but those that do find success will seemingly make it into the regular rotation.
For a game that is hoping to set a new precedent for online multiplayer, Titanfall has certainly started off on the right foot with its DLC announcement by confirming paid and free additions. Sure, we're disappointed that new Titan types will not factor into the equation, but Respawn still seemingly has plenty of intriguing post-release content on the way.
What do you think of Titanfall's first DLC map pack, Expedition? Will you buy the pack?
Heartbleed Bug READ and change your passwords
(Auto resize: show original)
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

Wolfenstein - 'Nowhere to Run' Gameplay Trailer
Microsoft is Bringing Back the Start Menu and Catering to Mouse and Keyboard Users
This is what Windows 8 should have been all along
Straight to the point, Microsoft is bringing back the Start menu to Windows via an upcoming update to Windows 8.1. Along with everything else that will be introduced, we feel like Brennan from Step Brothers after he and Dale received pirate hats, dirty magazines, and crossbows - "You guys finally came to your sense and got us something cool!" And yes, despite all the criticism up to this point, Windows 8.1 finally has a shot at being a cool OS.
To anyone who's been paying attention, Windows 8/8.1 has been steadily getting better over time, though it hasn't been able to get over the hump where it's widely accepted as a worthy replacement for Windows 7, or even XP if you're a legacy holdout. Part of the reason why is Microsoft's stubbornness to alter its vision. For example, Microsoft already brought back the Start button, but stubbornly refused to include the Start menu. It's thereto toggle between Desktop and Metro, the latter of which is of little interest to power users, and offer up a few right-click shortcuts.
In a video promoting the upcoming update, Joe Belfior, VP of Windows, finally acknowledges what we suspected all along. He says, "Lots of Windows 8.1 users are spending most of their time on the desktop." He also acknowledges the importance of the taskbar to users who don't have a touchscreen.
Microsoft needed to make these epiphanies, and now that it has -- or at least admitted to knowing them -- Windows 8.1 is only going to get better. The forthcoming update goes beyond the return of the Start menu and focuses on mouse and keyboard input. You'll be able to pin Windows Store apps to the taskbar, and likewise it will be easy to switch between or close them with your mouse.
"We've made it so your mouse works more consistently anywhere in Windows. If you move your mouse to the top of the screen when using a Windows Store app, you will see the familiar Close and Minimize buttons. And as I mentioned above, when you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen in a Windows Store app, the taskbar comes up," Microsoft explains in a blog post.
There's a lot more you can do with the mouse, both on the Desktop and the Start screen. You can right-click on app tiles for a context menu, select multiple tiles at once, and much more.
In short, Windows 8.1 is transforming into what Windows 8 should have been at launch. For users who want the touch experience, it's there and it works magnificently. And for users who care about the traditional Desktop interface, you can boot directly to the Desktop and manipulate the OS like you're used to doing.
The "Windows 8.1 Udate" is available now for MSDN subscribers. For everyone else, Microsoft will start rolling it out for free to Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 customers via Windows Update on Tuesday, April 8th.

Respawn Sends Titanfall PC Rule Breakers to Island of Misfit Cheaters
An aimbot free-for-all'
Take your hands off your mouse and keyboard (or tablet and smartphone) and give a hearty golf clap for Respawn Entertainment. Why are we congratulating the development studio behind Titanfall? Respawn deserves kudos for the way it's decided to handle cheaters in the PC version of the popular game -- by banishing them from the rule-abiding public and sticking them in servers with other cheaters.
"Great news: you get to keep playing Titanfall! Less-great news: you only get to play with other cheaters," Respawn states in an FAQ about its anti-cheat policy. "You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck."
Respawn's using FairFight to detect cheaters on the PC. The developers have been collecting data since the game launched, though held off on banning players until Friday, March 21st. Over time, they'll tweak the algorithm to catch more rule breakers.
If you follow the rules but invite a cheater friend to your party, then your entire party will be treated as banned, meaning you'll only be able to play against other aimbot users. However, once you stop inviting cheaters into your group, you can return to the general population.
"You do not get permanently tainted just by playing with a cheater - you are only banned for cheating if you are actually cheating," Respawn says.
Well played, Respawn.

Neighborhoods: Pioneer Square, Downtown
Best all around atmosphere in the Square!!!! – The first time I went into this bar Fuel Sports Eats and Beats I was hooked. I was just walking by with a group of friends and heard the Dj's spinning all the way outside... Pretty good mixes so we decided to go in and man am I glad I did. I had never heard of this place before called Fuel... I later found out I hadn't heard of it because it only opened about 2 years ago and I happened to be there on their 2 year anniversary. Let me tell you I had a BLAST!!! The drinks were good and stiff and the bartender back there was smokin' hot... She was pouring away and I even saw her bust out some bartending flare.. The place was packed.. lots of good energy everywhere.. Overall I would have to say that I am very glad I went into Fuel that night and will definately be making it back there very soon..
Fuel Rawks!!! – This bar rocks and is the shot of adrenaline that Pioneer Square needs.
As soon as I heard Trent Von was spinning at Fuel I knew I'd be a regular. Trent Von owned Pioneer Square with the glory days of The Fenix....man, I miss that place but I think Fuel is picking up where The Fenix left off.
It's a sports bar/night club. You've got an excellent mix of high energy patrons mostly in their early to mid 20's and the women there are totally HOTT. This place has a friendly crowd and is a great place to meet new people. There is no scene, not pretentious attitudes from anyone, just a cool place to have fun and enjoy some really awesome music.
Best in Seattle – I have been to Fuel several times now and I can honestly say that it is the best bar in Pioneer Square (if not seattle) They have the best pizza in town and the rest of the menu is equally good. The owners are very friendly. It is a great bar/club to go to to dance or to watch football.
My kinda bar – I'm pretty impressed with this club. It's right in pioneer square but without the lines or *sshole door guys. I went in here on a whim, and I will keep going back. It's perfect there are a bunch of big screen TV's that the boys can watch all their sport stuff on and then in the room next door there is a dance floor. I really liked how they had the best of both worlds. Plus the staff was really nice, I even met the owners who I guess come in almost everyday. One more thing the ladies restroom is super clean and has really pretty sinks. I know that sounds kinda funny to say when rating a club, but how many gross pioneer square bathrooms have you been in. So it's worth mentioning. Anyways just thought I would let you know what I think.

I hope you are taking good care of yourself and letting her know what you need her to do to help you heal and to help you rebuild your trust. Make sure to make good use of all the resources on this site. Many people have been where you are now and can help you so very much.
Oh ferchrissakes!
This has absolutely nothing to do with anyone here at all.
Just needed to vent and needed it not to be in general lol
More recently, he has begun trolling Craigslist and replying to ads, but again, not meeting anyone.
We are both in IC and are committed to making this work. I do believe that he has never met anyone, but the trolling and the emails have to end. He claims to have a compulsion to look at the ads and respond and carry on email conversations occasionally. There are no EA's, it is all just sexually explicit chatting.
I hope it never gets to the point that he meets someone. I have a keylogger installed and vigilantly monitor personal cellphone usage, but I am scared to death that he will use his work computer/cellphone and 1) do something we'll both regret, and 2) lose his job.
We are fairly young (28 and 33), no children, married for 2 years.
The cellphone, no.
His "episodes" happen about twice a year. Very sporadic, no particular trigger (although almost always when I am out of town on business, but I'm often gone 2-3 times a month and he doesn't do anything during those times). He is never defensive about being caught, always very apologetic and embarassed.
As I stated previously, he says it's some sort of compulsion and he can't help himself, even though he knows I will find out. Sometimes it's not immediate, because I don't check the reports that often, but again he always confesses/validates everything I read in the reports without prompting whenever I confront him. He keeps up with his IC appointments and homework.
He is always very apologetic and embarassed and honest about what happens. He expresses great concern that I will want to give up on the marriage/him. He frequently states that I am the most important thing to him, and he hates the way his behavior affects me. I wish we could get to the point where he would be honest about his behavior without me having to confront him -- I would feel like he was making definite progress with the compulsion then. I just can't stand the lying -- which is how I feel about non-disclosure.
[This message edited by bamagirl1180 at 8:51 AM, November 29th (Saturday)]
For some reason his compulsion is more important and real to him than the real damage being done to you and the potential real impact this will have on your R. MC might be a good place. He might not have a good enough IC therapist either. Either way he needs a good kick in the ass at the very least...if you'd like I'd be happy to provide that...
He needs to do something about this now. Before it is too late.
Is there anywhere in particular (on this board) you would point him to read posts that could help enlighten him?
I haven't figured out if there is a search feature here or not.
His computer relationships are stealing him from you just the same as if he was going to a bar and meeting women in person. These on-line things can provide a tremendous ego rush-I know it did for me-and its a dangerous dangerous drug. Its as addictive as anything I've ever used. If I could go back in time-shut off the damn computer and throw my cell phone in the garbage it would be wonderful...I can still remember my SO trying to get me to come to bed with her...telling me how alone she felt...and I just continued my damn computer life...
I hate that sooooo much.
The only on-line i know about is second life, and that community, which has many good aspects, also provides an environment that encourages escape from the real world. Anonymity, creating a new personna, feeding any appetites you may have...its incredibly seductive.
You H is betraying you. You are not overreacting. If you want to have an R with him, you are going to have to find a way to get him off that computer. Get him out of those virtual worlds. I can't exactly tell you how to do that-maybe there are other suggestions you can find for that. But it sounds like he is in real deep and is in complete denial about what his actions mean to you, to him and to your life together.
You might need to read up on the 180 in the healing library, but at least try to talk to him when he offline. As for the support of other BS's on this site for advice as well. It took me getting caught to snap me out of the fog. I don't know what it will take for him.
Please let me know how it is going for you, and PM me any time. This will likely be very difficult you and I will help you any way I can.

Second Life affair ends in divorce
Story Highlights
British couple divorce over alleged affair in virtual world Second Life
Woman says she caught ex-husband having online sex with a virtual prostitute
Ex-husband admits online relationship, denies "cyber sex or anything like that"
LONDON, England (CNN) -- A British couple who married in a lavish Second Life wedding ceremony are to divorce after one of them had an alleged "affair" in the online world.
Amy Taylor, 28, said she had caught husband David Pollard, 40, having sex with an animated woman. The couple, who met in an Internet chatroom in 2003, are now separated.
"I went mad -- I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Taylor told the Western Morning News. "It may have started online, but it existed entirely in the real world and it hurts just as much now it is over."
Second Life allows users to create alter egos known as "avatars" and interact with other players, forming relationships, holding down jobs and trading products and services for a virtual currency convertible into real life dollars. iReport.com: Share your stories from Second Life
Taylor said she had caught Pollard's avatar having sex with a virtual prostitute: "I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned."
The couple's real-life wedding in 2005 was eclipsed by a fairy tale ceremony held within Second Life.
But Taylor told the Western Morning News she had subsequently hired an online private detective to track his activities: "He never did anything in real life, but I had my suspicions about what he was doing in Second Life." iReport.com: Anger in a virtual world
Pollard admitted having an online relationship with a "girl in America" but denied wrongdoing. "We weren't even having cyber sex or anything like that, we were just chatting and hanging out together," he told the Western Morning News.
Taylor is now in a new relationship with a man she met in the online roleplaying game World of Warcraft.
Hearing these kinds of accounts just makes me nauseous...that foggy, narcicistic dark place...ugh. I will never go back there. Never.
I'm sure we'll be hearing more reports like this as time goes on though...<sighs>
I need some guidance and advice.
My husband left me 6 months ago. I have learned a lot about NPD and SA as I have had to try to discover the truth about my life during my 20 years with my spouse.
I know from other trails I have followed that my husband would have had profiles on numerous sites. He is no longer here and I do not have his current computer.
Do any of you have suggestions about the most common sites that he might have set up a profile to meet women for the purpose of chatting and cheating?
And, how can I find his profiles if I do not have his computer?
yahoo personals
I would start by searching him out by area. Usually, if a WS is looking to cheat they will have their area listed accurately.
Unfortunately, he could be using any site. The worst thing about cyber cheating is it can start anywhere. In a game, on a forum, in an instant message chatroom. If you know any of the screen names he uses you could try googling those. It's difficult to catch a cyber cheater unless you have access to their computer.

I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I know about a new secret email and that he's im'd some of the people he's found on CL, etc. I'm hesitant to confront *again* b/c he just gets better at hiding. I'm so TIRED of it all.
On the upside, he's not actually meeting anyone (has in the past though).
He's a freaking addict.
And I'm pregnant again, which is an exceptionally vulnerable place to be.

Despite Weaver losing nearly half its starters on offense and defense, coach Daryl Hamby has his choice of younger kids that are just as fast.
"We're really fast. That's something that we've got," running back and outside linebacker Chris Trogé said. "No one can keep up with us."
Hamby, who didn't shy away from commenting on his team's athleticism, was quick to also point out the Bearcats need to cut down on penalties and turnovers as well as saying Weaver has "a lot of heart."
"They get after it and don't like to lose," he said. "They're a team that's fun to coach and you can do a lot with this team. The sky is the limit because a lot of the guys can do a lot different things."
Doing different things will be big this fall, and players will need to be able to possibly grasp a new defense. Hamby said the Bearcats, which normally run a 3-4 defense, may show different looks from week-to-week to throw off regularly played opponents.
"It could be more situational with who we're playing and what they like to do," Hamby said. "What we do is scout the team, decide how we want to defend them and then go from there."
Offensively, there's little question who will lead Weaver -- quarterback Timothy Hawkins. Hamby said the three-year starter was injured a majority of the 2012 season, adding "a healthy Timothy Hawkins is dangerous."
"I'm really looking forward to him putting the ball in the air a lot," Hamby said. "He's grown so much from the time I got here until now. He's such a tremendous athlete and someone who will be playing at the next level."
Offensive linemen Dalton Heath and Jonathan Jones are two guys Hamby said he's looking to have big seasons from. Paul Hubbard, Darrel Mathis and Trogé are three skill players that the coach is looking forward to producing, as well.
"Everybody is just ready to play," Hawkins said. "We have different attitudes and everyone has come together as one. We're just going to play as a team."
With Hawkins being a leader on the offense and between-the-tackles bully Trogé on the rise, Hamby said he wants Weaver to establish more of a run game this season.
"We didn't a good job of establishing our run last year for whatever reason that might be," he said. "Doing better with the run will open things up on the edges more and create harder matchups."
The Bearcats enter the fall after missing the playoffs for the first time since Hamby took over in 2010. Hawkins said the way to overcome missing the playoffs is by not taking any plays off this year.
However, Hamby doesn't want the glamour of the postseason distracting Weaver from the task at hand. The coach has a slightly different goal than finishing in the top four of Class 3A, Region 5.
"My goal is strictly the team we're playing," he said. "I never look ahead and if you asked me who we played second I probably wouldn't even know. That's the way I've always been no matter what sport it is."
Brandon Miller covers prep sports for The Star. He can be reached at 256-235-3575 or follow him on Twitter @bmiller_star Weaver at a glance Head coach: Daryl Hamby (16-16 in three years at Weaver)
2012 record: 4-6, 3-4 in Class 3A, Region 5; finished fifth in Region 5; missed playoffs.
Outlook: It's no secret that Weaver is faster than most opponents, but the Bearcats just have to utilize their strength. Quarterback Timothy Hawkins enters the season as a healthy three-year starter and has multiple targets around him. Weaver made the postseason in 2010 and 2011 before just missing the playoffs last year. If the Bearcats play the way they are capable, they may be back playing in the second week of November.

- Rubbing Alcohol or Glass Cleaner
Project Instructions
Step: 1
Clean the glass surface with rubbing alcohol or window cleaner to remove any grease or fingerprints.
Step: 2
Load the brush with a generous amount of #20 Veil White. Begin by painting circles around the top of the vase and work your way down. Simply paint very loose round shapes around the vase (see photo).
Step: 3
Allow the paint to dry to the touch for about 20 minutes.
Step: 4
With the Dimensional Outliner, draw loose outlines around each of the circles on the vase.
Step: 5
It is not necessary to bake the vase for permanence, if it is going to be hand washed only, not placed in a dishwasher. For baking: allow it to dry for 24 hours, place it in a cool oven on the middle oven rack, set the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature has been reached, set the timer for 40 minutes. After baking is complete, turn off the oven and open the oven door to allow the piece to cool down gradually. Once cool, remove the piece from the oven. Baking allows the piece to be placed in a dishwasher.

Lassie, arguably the world's most famous celebrity dog, first fetched the hearts of moviegoers in 1943's Lassie Come Home. The talented collie had her own radio series from 1947-50 (with Earl Keen filling in for our actual canine-heroine), but Lassie's greatest success was dug up on television in 1954. A live action Lassie ran on CBS from 1954-71 and then continued on for three more years in syndication, overlapping with the start of this cartoon adaptation in 1973.
In Lassie's Rescue Rangers, the title pooch lived near Thunder Mountain with the Turner family. Head Ranger Ben Turner worked with wife Laura and children Susan, Jackie, and Ben Jr. as "The Forest Force," a ranger-rescue team that protected Thunder Mountain National Park. Lassie also headed up a group of wild animals that lived within the national park, working with the Turner family to maintain a healthy environment that was ecologically sound, and to create a safe place for tourists to hike and camp. This renegade group of animal heroes was known as Lassie's Rescue Rangers.
The Rescue Rangers were a band of about eight animals, including Groucho the owl, Toothless the mountain lion, Musty the skunk, and Robbie the raccoon. Also of great value to the Forest Force was Gene Fox, a Native American, who was Ben Jr.'s friend. Gene knew the Thunder Mountain National Park better than even most of the animals, making him a strong ally for the Turner family as they struggled to protect the environment and save lives.
Ted Knight (Mary Tyler Moore, Too Close for Comfort) voiced Ranger Ben Turner and acted as narrator. Over the three seasons Lassie's Rescue Rangers was on the air, the show moved from Saturday to Sunday and back, but only the first season was comprised of new episodes.

April 3, 4, 5th 2014
Newman University campus
Wichita, KS
Scholarly or creative approaches related to this year's zombie theme or other topics are welcome and encouraged. The keynote speaker will be Robin Becker, author of the zombie novel Brains.

Talk scheduled for Thursday, April 3 at 7 p.m. in the Jabara Flexible theater, De Mattias Fine Arts Center.
Robin Becker is proud to have grown up in Hackensack, New Jersey, even though she left at 18 and never went back. She has lived in Philadelphia, Austin, San Francisco, Baton Rouge and Kirksville, Missouri. In the spring of 1987, she lived for three months in a 1972 Volkswagen Microbus, traveling across the land like a punk-rock Jack Kerouac. In 1994, she spent nine months backpacking throughout the Middle East and Eastern Europe; hepatitis A put her in a Czech hospital and then she flew straight home. In 2000, she received her MFA from LSU.
In addition to writing, Robin plays sloppy guitar and has been in a slew of girl bands. http://robinzbecker.com/bio.aspx
Robin currently lives in Toad Suck, Arkansas, with her husband Mark Spitzer. She enjoys cooking, fishing and teaching writing at the University of Central Arkansas.
Some reviews of Brains: "A zombie delight for the thinking man (and woman), Brains is a feast of literary parallels, pop culture references, and historical metaphors, with enough blood, guts, and brains to satisfy any zombie lover's appetite. Smart, gory, and fun." (S.G. Browne, author of Breathers: A Zombie's Lament)
"Barnes, a rare sentient zombie, tries to develop a program to create a zombie-human nation, but sadly, all he wants is a brain. Yours. A witty and unexpected take on the zombie genre; I had a great time." (Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author )
"An unusual take on the zombie genre: part Grapes of Wrath, part postmodern memoir.... Becker's writing is crisp." (Publishers Weekly)
"Witty and clever, Brains is a thinking zombie's book about what it means to be human, or almost human, and what we all owe each other whether we like it or not." (David Wellington, author of Monster Island)

Stationary vs. Stationery and other commonly misused words
There's nothing wrong with a little grammar goof here or there. But if all your notes are full of mistakes, it makes you sound less professional. That's why we've rounded up this handy list. Use it as a cheat sheet the next time you need to write a thank-you note, a letter or just about anything else:
Commonly misused words
Stationary vs. Stationery
Stationary means unmoving. This word is used to describe something else. "The car was stationary", i.e., it was parked.
Stationery is paper you use for correspondence. "My son's stationery has cars on it."
Accept vs. Except
Accept means you take something. "I am happy to accept your gift."
Except means you exclude something. "I love everything about this gift except the color."
Than vs. Then
Than is used when you're comparing things. "My grammar is better than yours."
Then means "at that time" or "next." "I sent a letter, then realized I had forgotten to hit spell check."
There vs. Their vs. They're
There is a location. "The cake is over there."
Their means belonging to more than one person. "Their cake is almost gone."
They're means "they are." "They're standing by the empty cake platter."
Your vs. You're
Your means something that belongs to you. "Your cake is gone."
You're means "you are." "You're going to have to go buy another cake."
I could care less
If you could care less, that means you care at least a little now. What you're probably trying to say is, "I couldn't care less," meaning you already care so little it would be impossible to care less.
Commonly misspelled words
What you're really trying to say: a lot
Alot is not a word, and allot means to distribute. If you're trying to say there is an abundance of something, don't forget the space.
What you're really trying to say: weird
What they should have been telling us in grade school is "I before E, except after C, or W, or in other obscure circumstances that will make you want to throw your dictionary out the window." (Foreign and height are some other exceptions to the usual rhyme.)
What you're really trying to say: mischievous
This is a three-syllable word that many people add a fourth syllable to.
What you may be trying to say: breath
If you're looking for the word that rhymes with Beth, skip the extra E at the end. If you're talking about the action of taking in air, which rhymes with seethe, you say breathe.
What you're really trying to say: calendar
Even though most people say "cal-en-der," the word actually ends with "dar."
What you're really trying to say: regardless
Regardless means "without care," so that alone gets across your message. Irregardless is not a word, but if it were, it would mean "not without care" - probably not what you are trying to say.

Ethan Nadelmann, the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, doesn't think kids and teens are going to start using marijuana more frequently if the drug is fully legalized across the country. The reason is simple: They can already get pot pretty easily.
"There are three national surveys in which young people say it's now easier to buy marijuana today that it is to buy alcohol. In every high school in America, marijuana use is now more or less omnipresent. In the surveys for the last thirty years, 80 percent of young people say it's easy to get marijuana. So I don't think that's the group where it's going to go up. If anything, you're going to take away some of that forbidden fruit attraction to marijuana," he said during a panel discussion at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week.
So who will start using more marijuana if it's fully legalized? Nadelmann, a legalization advocate whose organization was founded to stop the "war on drugs," points to the grandparents of the world. "It's going to be people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s," he said. "It's going to be older people going, 'Damn, it helps with that arthritis, I didn't realize that.' Or, 'It helps me sleep at night,' or 'I actually find I prefer it to having a drink at the end of the night, or 'You know what, I prefer it to the pharmaceuticals my doctor is giving me for my mood or my anxiety.'"
It's difficult to judge which populations would be most affected by the full legalization of marijuana in the U.S. Currently, federal law bans all sale and possession of the drug, but 18 states plus Washington, D.C. allow the use of medical marijuana, and voters in Colorado and Washington state approved ballot initiatives that allow limited possession for recreational use. Opponents often argue that legalization will increase abuse among young people, although use is already somewhat common: From 2009 to 2012, nearly half of 12th graders and a third of 10th graders across the country reported having used weed at least once, according to research conducted by the University of Michigan and funded by the National Institutes of Health.
If Nadelmann is right, then, legalization opponents who are worried about increased drug use among young people have misplaced their concern. What's more is that the use of synthetic alternatives to marijuana, marketed as "fake weed," has already been rising among young people. This synthetic sister to weed is reportedly available at gas stations and convenience stores, and although kids often assume it's legal, five of the chemical compounds found in synthetic cannabis are are Schedule I controlled substances under federal law.
The point? Whether or not the substance is truly legal might not matter; kids have been using pot and pot look-a-likes regardless.
You can see Nadelmann's full comments on marijuana legalization below:

I agree. David Bradley's performance is the best I have seen so far this year - he was better in this play than Michael Gambon and Donald Pleasance (in the 1980s revival anyway).
The acting was very direct and quite powerful. Shame about the play, I kept thinking it would be great to see the actors in something more interesting. I wasn't exactly bored, but I was vaguely glad when it was over and I could leave those characters and their tiny world behind.

Drew Tieman who was booked on Dec. 17, 2009 in Miami for possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana.... really?
The NCAA is investigating whether Johnny Manziel was paid for signing autographs in January, ESPN's "Outside the Lines" is reporting.
The Heisman Trophy-winning Texas A&M quarterback agreed to sign hundreds of autographs on photos and sports memorabilia in exchange for a five-figure flat fee during his trip to Miami for the BCS National Championship Game, according to the report.
Manziel reportedly met with autograph broker Drew Tieman at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Jan. 6.
From the report:
Three sources said Manziel signed photographs, footballs, mini football helmets and other items at the request of an autograph broker named Drew Tieman. Two sources, who are aware of the signing arrangement, told "Outside the Lines" that Tieman approached Manziel on Jan. 6 when he landed at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to attend the game between Alabama and Notre Dame the next day.
After that meeting, three sources said, Manziel, accompanied by his friend and personal assistant Nathan Fitch, visited Tieman's residence and signed hundreds of items in the main room of the apartment despite the fact that there were many people in the room. Before Manziel left South Florida, after taking in the title game, he signed hundreds of autographs more, one source said.
NCAA assistant director of enforcement James Garland contacted Tieman and at least one person associated with the signings in June to ask about Manziel-autographed items that were on sale on eBay, according to the report.
Manziel could be ruled ineligible to play if the investigation finds that he violated NCAA Bylaw 184.108.40.206 — "accepting money for promoting or advertising the commercial sale of a product or service."
The investigation continues a tumultuous offseason for "Johnny Football," who has been under fire for his partying habits, which may have contributed to his early departure from the Manning Passing Academy in July.

Drew Tieman who was booked on Dec. 17, 2009 in Miami for possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana.... really?
OMG, Johnny Football is the football version of Justin Bieber!!!!
Johnny Manziel is making even Mike Tyson look intelligent
One of the talking sports heads of TV recently compared Manziel to a comet. He'll shoot across the sky and be gone, or words to that effect. This assumes, of course, that Manziel will not welcome being ineligible for college football and turn pro.
Does anyone know if that's 'legal'? If the NCAA says he can't play for them I don't see why he couldn't go pro right away, not wait the two years from high school, or whatever the current rule is.
I hope this investigation ends up in court. The colleges make millions off these students and the students should be reimbursed somehow for it. Scholarships alone are not enough reimbursement. They are working for the college. There needs to be living expenses and these athletes, male and female, who are training have no time for work and studying and training. They should be compensated for their training time.
"waaaaahaaaaaaa...sniff sniff....the SEC!!! waaaaaahhhhh"...geez, you cry babies are embarrassing to your own conferences. Let's see...the PAC12 had their shot...lost, the Big 12..lost...the Big 10 lost...Independent..lost...the SEC has even beaten itself in the NCG. What are you crying about? You have had your chances, so quit whining. I'm sorry if your school with the little 50,000 person stadium can't get over the hump. I guess you all suddenly forgot about the pedophiles, tattoo artists, and purchasing players through 3rd parties...all outside the SEC. How many SEC programs have been hit with sanctions since 2000? Plenty. And so have other conferences. Here you go:
Seven-Time Violators
Auburn, Florida State, Texas A&M, California, Memphis, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Wichita State University
Six-Time Violators
Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, UCLA, USC and Texas-Pan American
Five-Time Violators
Alabama, Arizona, Baylor, Cincinnati, Colorado, Miami (FL), Michigan State, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, UTEP, Washington and West Virginia.
Nathan Fitch, his personal assistant??? I mean, really, he needs a personal assistant? Is this personal assistant also the one going online to take his classes for him? Do they live together, sleep together, love together?
I hope this leads to another nail in the NCAA's coffin.
Tim Tebow! He was bigger and more successful than Manziel in college, and he never behaved like this in anyway. So maybe, just maybe, players are capable of dealing with fame and following rules
Ridiculous considering what the NCAA makes off of them......
I am not sure if Manziel's "I am not sure if I did or not, I was pretty drunk for the last seven months" argument is going to get him out of this.
In the grand scheme of things, signing autographs for money is not the equivalent of assault and battery or DUI.
The colleges in Big Football market these players for their own benefit (SI reported Texas A&M garnered $37 million in marketing over his Heisman win). How could anyone expect a teenager or young twenty-something who has no training on how to deal with being a celebrity to act responsibly. Professional athletes can't do it, why should we expect big name college players to be any different???
The SEC really needs to remind the NCAA who's in charge.
I dont like this kid, and hes hugely overrated...but the fact NCAA apparently owns the players names and signatures and tells them where they can sign them, for who, and under what conditions is ridiculous. Did the players tell the NCAA they were allowed to sign for TV deals with terrible networks, shitty bowl sponsorships and the BCS? This whole system is f'ed.
He may have violated a NCAA rule,but did he violate any SEC rules? Trick question! The SEC has no rules.
Why would somebody who comes from a very wealthy and prominent family need to charge people for autographs anyway? I'm sure he could easily afford on his allowance to live the privileged life that wealthy WASPs have. I guess he's just making his hay now because he might not have NFL caliber skills. Doubt anything will come out of it. Don't know why this is the top story on this site, though.
Since it's the SEC, I expect the NCAA to release a statement that simply says "no violations of NCAA rules were found." Any other conference, people would be suspended.
I guess the "I'm from the inner city, and my folks are flat broke" line won't work in this instance?
Nothing points to this kid remotely being on the right track. After so many incidents, you can't chalk it up to youth.
Manziel is the Justin Bieber of college football.
Manziel boozing it up every night running around like some wild man ,
while good old reliable Bridgewater has his face probably in a play book
figuring out ways he can improve his game. That is what a leader of men
does, while children do what Manziel is doing. When will the media stop using Manziel's age as an excuse Bridgewater is also young too are you forgetting that.
He needs to realize he represents his school and the all the awards he won last year. So much for the Prestigious Heisman Award as being the best college football player in the country. If they find any evidence of improper earnings he be the first Heisman winner to be ineligible the very next season due to NCAA violations...
Ok let me get this right you hypocrites who use
kids to stuff billions in your pocket and conceal it under the veil of
education for student athletes want to hassle a guy over a few dollars.
The same guy who has been seen at court side basketball games, flying over
the country attending
the best parties drinking it up nightly and in casinos with fist full of
dollars and you are bothering him over some silly autographs. NC double
A- holes why not give back the money you robbed from these kids over
the years and Manziel will do the
same if he has any and we can call it even. At least sweat shops pay their
workers... What's your excuse?
@joeshine730 As are you. The guy is not exactly raping and murdering his way across the country.
@suffy I actually hope they shut down these ridiculous shames called NCAA Football. The NFL needs a farm system and these programs have nothing to do with higher education! Let's go to the Ivy League model where no one gets an athletic scholarship but instead gets appropriate financial aid based on need. Also stop letting under qualified student in schools and hold everyone to the same academic standards!!
@mashley278 Wow, you told them. Is this going to be your seventh grade project?
@AdamSWalburger Yes, ridiculous to expect him to follow rules that he agreed with in return for a free education and a shot at making millions. Good thing he threw that all away!
@DocDeep Well said Doc! The days of the NCAA and schools dictating what these kids can/can't do while in college should of ended long ago. They have no problem raking in the millions in revenue on these athletes but the athletes making them the money are painted as criminals for doing the same. However, Manziel is ruining his NFL stock and he needs to get a grip on his life so he doesn't end up being another has been or never was. He needs to tell his father to keep his mouth shut as well. Do a little research on that family and you will see why they act the way they do. None of them have worked for a very long time.
@DocDeep So, the more serious rules in society should be followed, but not the others that you feel are not as important? Well, Billy robbed somebody, but it's not like he killed anybody. In society, you are expected to follow the laws and rules, all of them. You don't get to pick which "important" ones you pay attention to.
@frymanation Why is it ridiculous? HE agreed to it when he signed with the team. If he didn't like it, he was free to not sign. Nobody forced him to.
@frymanation Maybe it's over rated to someone who's probably destined to make millions some day on Sunday, but they do get a free education, something the other 99% of the University students would kill to have.
And again, the vast majority of money made by university's is NOT from TV deals, but rather from Federal Grant money, something that has absolutely nothing to do with some teams win column on a sports field.
@Washheightsboy Quick! Someone call the WAAAAAAAMBULANCE for this guy..."sniff sniff..my team can't win because the SEC is dirty...(even though OSU and Oregon just got investigated and punished by the NCAA..)". Yes, Texas A&M was COMPLETELY clean until they entered the dirty SEC…cry all you want. Just have your team win their games, in their conference, and meet the SEC in the NCG…oh but I guess so many have…and lost.
@drm166 Kind of like Oregon? Oh and I guess the sanctions against Alabama and Auburn the past decade were super secret or something. Go cry somewhere else.
@drm166 They'll find out his father was the one who made the money, and he'll be cleared of any wrong doing.
Meanwhile a booster gave someone in the Big 10 a free henna tattoo.
His entire team has been suspended for 6 years.
@beercrackin'g8r no, because the "folks" part gives it away. remember, inner city gangstas have NO parents...it's a "culture" thing !!!!!
@friendly--neighborhood--scrawler LOL, yeah, I'm sure Bridgewater is doing that. The difference between these two is a Heisman Trophy and I'm guessing Bridgewater isn't dumb enough to seek out publicity.
@UTKING So he's the perfect representative for his school and college football in general: full of excess and out of control.
@UTKING These off-the-field problems have nothing to do with whether he was the best college football player in the country. The Heisman ballot says nothing about voting for the player with the cleanest liver and most spotless record.
@friendly--neighborhood--scrawler well, they DO get an education IF they decide to USE it. ALL is paid for so that b.s. goes away as regular kids have to WORK their way through. But it is the CHARGING for the autographs which will get him. That IS a dumb rule but see what Ohio State did by selling PERSONAL stuff. it IS a joke
@doghockey @joeshine730 Well, Tyson didn't exactly rape and murder "his way across the country" either, so that doesn't exactly refute joeshine's comment about Manziel's inability to use any intelligence he might have.
So, putting myself in JM's shoes, you see an opportunity to help your family out, what child wouldn't act on that? He sees the college making out well off of his work with no 'reward' for himself. That would eat at anyone that has worked hard at their trade.
The argument that he gets a free education, room and board loses steam when you see that his worth to the college in terms of marketing and sales, would pay for almost the entire football team's room and board.
@6marK6 I don't think that is what the Doc was getting at. Doc has a point and a good one at that. You think the school cares about the athlete or the millions they make off of him? In college shouldn't the student come first?
@RichLGerhold @drm166 Actually it will be 'Uncle' Nate. Turns out none of these brokers paid Manzeil, but afterwards Nate asked them for $$ for another session. Looks like another case of an athlete plagued by leeches trying to make a buck.
They are not there for the education especially in division one and the players pay for their education hundreds of times over in their college career for the cash they bring into the colleges so they are not getting a free ride unlike people want you to believe. You know the cash is good when you can afford to pay the top coaches 5 million a year
@DocDeep @Voiceover310 Probably why Executive salaries have risen at record rates while employees work longer hours for less benefits. But why should that apply to college football?
@DocDeep @6marK6 @Voiceover310 Employers always benefit from exploiting their workers, it's the American way.
That is not what I was implying. Colleges are going to benefit from the college athlete's fame and they do so by marketing those players to the National and Local Media. They, and we the public, shouldn't be surprised by these same athlete's trying to benefit from their fame as well. The KIDS don't come with their own protective entourage of agents and PR people to help guide them.
Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes,but, and I did not express this thoroughly, trying to mark JM as evil incarnate (as some have done here) for signing autographs for money seems out of proportion to what his VIOLATION of rules, not the LAW was. I felt the same way when the OSU players were ripped for getting free tattoos in exchange for jerseys.
@Voiceover310 @6marK6 Doc implies that if professional players are allowed to behave irresponsibly, college players should be afforded that right as well. I guess we will apply that to high school and little league next. Great. I would kind of like to see someone accept responsibility for their actions. I am not defending the corrupt and greedy entity known as the NCAA, but if a college player that is being afforded a lot of fame and leeway, he should also be expected to comply with some rules. Or perhaps he is too big for that?

However, when i click on the Dock -> System Preferences (the grey cogwheel icon), all of the UI becomes unresponsive, and i have a spinning round rainbowy mouse cursor. Basically i cant click on anything at all.
Is there perhaps anything I can do to fix this issue? could this be happening because i am using the 132 boot cd and not the Hazard one from which i installed?
Thank you.

The offensive output was the lowest of the season for the Cougars, who fell to 14-7 overall and 5-7 in league play with the loss.
Reno ran its win streak to 15 games. The Huskies lone loss of the winter season came at home to Reed on Dec. 19. The RHS girls now sit 21-1 overall and 11-1 in conference clashes.
Friday's tilt was never close. Reno ran out to a 27-6 lead after the first period and extended that to 41-10 by halftime. Reno put Nevada's 40-point running-clock mercy rule into effect in the third period and led 61-16 after three periods.
"The game started and I thought we had pretty good energy," Reno coach Shane Foster said. "Our pressure created some easy buckets and we rebounded well ... We took good shots. I thought we played one of our better games tonight."
Only five Spanish Springs players scored in the lopsided loss and no one Cougars player had more than the six points of all-league point guard Hannah Woytek.
Conversely, Reno got plenty of offense and from multiple contributors. Sophomore Mallory McGwire, a 6-foot 4-inch post, finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Senior Shay Shaw, the Huskies' 6-foot 1-inch point guard, had 12 points and seven assists while senior post Morgan McGwire, 6-2, added 10 points and eight rebounds.
"The one thing you really can't control in basketball is size," first-year Spanish Springs coach Art Cardenas said. "They start three players over 6-1 and we don't have anyone taller than 5-9. So that makes it tough.
"We would come down and get one shot and then they'd come down and get multiple shots. That's demoralizing to the kids and the coaching staff, but still you try to just play and compete."
Spanish Springs will try to bounce back from a two-game league losing skid when its hosts Carson Tuesday night at 5:15 p.m.

What do Swahili, chicken soup cans, and meeting planners have in common? They are all connected to the grand opening of Kalahari Resorts' NIA Center, a hotel and conference center in Sandusky, Ohio. The Africa-themed property, which includes 95,000 square feet of meeting space, 596 guest rooms, restaurants, a spa, and waterpark, is named for the Swahili word, nia, which means purpose. Resort officials say the name reflects their commitment to "purposeful events."
The September 19 grand opening celebration might qualify as just that — purposeful. Keynote speaker Jack Canfield, a life coach and author who wrote the wildly popular book, Chicken Soup for the Soul, addressed the more than 100 meeting planners and business professionals in attendance, offering 10 tips for "Finding Your NIA." To mark the occasion, NIA staff built a "Soup for Success" tower made out of 17,200 cans of soup, representative of the NIA Center's 17,200-square-foot ballroom. The cans of soup will be donated to area Second Harvest food banks. For more information, go to www.kalahariresorts.com.

Scarecrow's Garden
On-line journal for a productive food garden on the edge of the outback in arid South Australia.
With freezing cold winters (frosts to - 10C) followed by scorching summers (temps up to 45C we make use of any water we get (Av rainfall 330.2mm).
The garden beds are shaded (during summer), heavily mulched, humus rich and most are now converted to wicking worm beds (20 beds).
Despite this harsh climate we manage to grow much of our own food.
Italian Parsley Pot
The next item in my box of goodies from Mr Fothergill's was a Kitchen Garden Pot of Italian Parsley.
These pots are designed for growing on windowsills and each is a complete kit that contains all (including soil) you will need to grow tasty Italian Parsley all year round on your sunny kitchen windowsill.
Parsley is so useful in cooking you should never be without a fresh supply!
You simply open the lid, take out the seed packet (and the card in the lid) and locate the two compressed growing blocks.
Place the blocks on top of each other with the larger on on the bottom.
Then fill the pot with 275ml of warm water.
The blocks quickly expand to almost fill the pot.
Sow the seeds on the top of the soil mix and cover them lightly.
Put the clear lid back on and leave the pot in a cool airy spot.
Check it ever so often to make sure the soil mix is moist...I didn't need to water mine until after the seeds had germinated and I had removed the lid.
The seeds were up in 10 days which I think is very fast for parsley seeds that are usually very slow to germinate! I will remove a few of the seedlings for planting out in the garden and leave just 2-3 seedlings in the pot.
There are more of these Kitchen Garden Pots including herbs Basil, Chives and Coriander (for leaf), some fruiting veg Tomato Florida Basket, Chilli Jalapeno and even Strawberry Temptation! These are a great alternative for people with little garden space.
Once again I would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried these little pots and how you went. Either leave a comment below or feel free to Email Me.
Still more from the box of goodies soon...

Saint Women Get Revenge with 58-48 Win Over Bobcats
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Just 12 days ago, a missed free throw and a last second jump shot came between the University of North Georgia women's basketball team and a home victory over Georgia College. But the Saints were able to turn things around Thursday night and get revenge as they defeated the Bobcats 58-48 in Milledgeville.
The win broke a three-game losing skid for the Saints (5-8, 3-3 PBC) and pushed the Bobcats (9-5, 5-2 PBC) into their own two-game losing skid after having won seven in a row to end 2012 and start 2013.
The biggest factor in the game proved to be how well the Saints cleaned up the glass as they out-rebounded Georgia College 50-31. But the Saints were only able to convert those rebounds into nine second chance points.
North Georgia shot 40.4% (19-47) from the field in the game and their defense was able to step up and hold Georgia College to a 28.1% (18-64) shooting performance. But the Bobcats were able to shoot 7-23 (.304) from three-point range with five coming from Thresia Elskamp while the Saints were only able to muster three treys while shooting 23.1%.
Jaymee Carnes and Mimi Hill both recorded double-doubles to lead a quartet of North Georgia players who scored double-digit points. Carnes, who entered the game averaging 19 points and just under 10 rebounds per game, led the way with 13 points and 11 rebounds while Hill finished the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Stephanie Huffman and Cierra Jackson were the final two players to finish in double figures 12 and 10 points respectively. Jackson was clutch in the second half for the Saints as she went 2-2 from the field and 2-3 from the free throw line to help maintain the Saints' lead at key points.
Elskamp, who went 5-6 from beyond the arc, was the leading scorer in the game with 18 points. Three of her game-high five treys came in the second half and she only missed her last shot which was a hurried shot put up in hopes to cut the late deficit.
Following a 14-0 run in the middle of the first half, the Saints took an eight-point, 30-22, lead into halftime.
Out of the intermission, Georgia College was able to slowly eat away at the Saints' lead, but were never able to cut the deficit to more than five as North Georgia was able to match the Bobcats point for point for much of the second stanza.
With just over nine minutes remaining in the game, Jackson pushed the Saints' lead back into double-digits as she converted a three-point play off a layup and ensuing foul shot. Huffman then extended the lead to 15 just a few minutes later with a three-pointer that capped a 10-0 run by North Georgia.
The Bobcats were able to cut the lead back to single-digits with 3:51 remaining off one of Elskamp's treys, and despite several turnovers by the Saints in the following minutes, North Georgia's defense was able to hold strong to preserve the first win of 2013 and under the new name of the University of North Georgia.
North Georgia will now head home for four straight Peach Belt Conference home games starting Saturday, Jan. 19 against Augusta State University. The Saints and Jaguars will tangle at 1:30 p.m. with the game being North Georgia's annual "Military Appreciation Day" with all current and former military being admitted free of charge with a valid military ID.

Nazareth Floral Designs -- a store that has occupied 66 S. Main St. in the borough since 1916 -- was closed on Oct. 14.
But fear not, loyal patrons -- on East Lawn Road (Route 191) in Upper Nazareth Township will not only remain open, but all of the merchandise from the Main Street store has been transferred over.
"We didn't close, we just moved [all of the merchandise] over here," said co-owner Kevin Donahoe.
Kevin and Nancy Donahoe acquired the Main Street store in 2008 from former owners Les and Nancy Little. The change to the Donahoe Farms' name was intended to link the two businesses.
"We put all of the computers and phones [at the East Lawn location] to make it easier to do business," Donahoe said. "Now we're running from one location instead of two."
Donahoe did not comment on whether the economic climate affected the closing of the flower shop on Main Street, but he assures customers that nothing else has changed about the way he and his wife do business.

Hadiya Pendleton's tragic death has become the face for violence in Chicago. Choreographer Nicole Clark Springer has taken her tragic loss and used it as inspiration for her ballet "Generations."
The piece shows how Springer was moved by Hadiya's life and death as a mother. She wanted the piece to be about Hadiya and about all of our children. She used dance to express her reaction to the violence and its impact on the entire Chicago community.
Springer was also inspired by the 15-year-old's name, which means "spiritual guide." She said the violence that has touched the Pendleton family stems from the same spiritual conflicts you were already exploring for the ballet.
You can see Deeply Rooted Dance's performance of "Generations" at the Harris Theater at Millennium Park on Friday, Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. Cleopatra Pendleton will attend the Chicago performance.
For ticket information, call 312-334-7777 or visit the Harris Theater's website.

On my son's birthday I decided that I was going to spice up his birthday
little bit. After thinking for a while I
thought of a great idea. My idea was to take
my 16 gallon 5.75 peak horsepower contractor
Shop-Vac and turn it into a confetti throwing
machine. It was really easy to hook up, all
I had to do was hook the hose up to the exhaust
and then kept the hose straight and then
I lightly stuffed the hose with confetti.
Then I hooked it up by my window in my bedroom
and set the the end of the hose out the window
and held the hose in place with duct tape.
After I picked up my son at school I told
my son to go out on the back patio and his
present was waiting for him. So he walked
outside and there was a brand new bmx bike
and right as he walked out the door I turned
on the Shop-Vac and a huge cloud of confetti
came pouring out of the hose. My son started
laughing and later that night my son told
my wife and I that this was his best birthday
Jerry K.
Mill Creek, WA
Post Digging
I use my Shop-Vac when digging
post holes in the ground. I
loosen the dirt
with a steel bar and then suck up all the loose soil. It
works very well and is much faster that
using a post hole digger. It's amazing how fast the
hole can be dug. I even had one hole fill up with
water overnight, so I
sucked all the water out with the vac and
continued the hole until it was
