-Severe weather is postponing both huge events that were set today at LoneStar Speedway
-There will be NO RACING at LoneStar Speedway TODAY
-The $1,300/win "For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" Limited Modified event will be moved to Saturday, June 13th; making it a huge doubleheader event with the $2,000 to win Texas Outlaw Modified Series
-Ken Schrader and LoneStar officials are rescheduling this appearance until later this summer - at a date still being finalized

LoneStar MOTHER'S DAY DOUBLEHEADER: $1,300/win LTD MODS - KEN SCHRADER vs LONESTAR MODS!
Kilgore, TX (4/20/15) by DarinShort.com. The wacky spring weather has inadvertently created a spectacular present opportunity for your mom on this Mother's Day at LoneStar Speedway (LSS), Sunday May 10th at 5pm. LSS has combined two major events into one doubleheader blockbuster featuring $1,300 to win and $100 to start (24th) in the "For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" 25-lap feature for Limited Modifieds, plus, NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader racing his Modified with the LoneStar Modifieds!
Flowers and chocolates are great gifts for Mother's Day, and LoneStar Speedway can provide your mom a lifetime of great memories at this fun 'twilight' event with our VIP "Party with Ken" Pass!

General Admission to the event, reserved section seating upgrade (bucket seats), Food and drink coupon for (1) Homemade Mexican Dinner Plate and Soft Drink at the VIP concession stand (near turn 1), Access to VIP Party with Ken (held inside reserved section). The "Party with Ken" event will be held from 4:00pm until 4:45pm sharp. Ken will be available in the VIP area at that time for pictures with fans, autograph signings and apparel purchases/signings...and it only adds $10 to the posted cost of general admission tickets for all age groups!
With the special start time of 5pm, we plan to have the races over early so everyone can get home and get ready for their upcoming week.
If you can't make the pre-race VIP Party with Ken event (from 4-4:45pm), adult general admission tickets are just $15. Ken will be signing autographs at his race trailer in the pits after the races.
PLUS, as an added Mother's Day bonus, all mothers will receive $5 in FREE 50/50 tickets at the ticket window upon their arrival! Your mom might just hit a big LoneStar 50/50 jackpot and leave with a purse full of cash!
The LSS nightly 50/50 drawing offers fans of all ages a chance for a big cash jackpot - just for purchasing a 50/50 ticket for $1! Half the money collected goes directly into the LSS Driver's Points Fund (which was $13,000 each year in 2013 and 2014), the other half goes to the lucky fan who has their winning ticket number drawn on each race night.
On April 26, 2010 Trisha and Robert Taylor received the call that forever changed their lives, as their daughter Alex had been in an accident and was being taken by air flight to East Texas Medical Center, and would not survive her injuries. The accident was attributed to texting and driving.
Trisha and Robert Taylor have stepped up to help raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving, combined with a long list of sponsors they are assembling, raising the competitor purse in the Limited Modified division called the "For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" 25-lap feature - making it one of the largest one-night, no-entry fee events for this division in the state of Texas!
Robert is veteran LoneStar Speedway driver, along with his wife Trisha, continue to help raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving, at their Facebook page titled For the love of Alex Stop Texting and Driving. Click www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfAle ... AndDriving to 'like' the page and learn more about their awareness efforts.
If you, or your business, are interested in being a part of this special awareness event, send an email to email@example.com and Trisha Taylor will get back in touch with you with more information.
"For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" complete Limited Modified feature payback: $1,300 - $800 - $700 - $600 - $500 (5th) - $400 - $300 - $200 - $180 -$160 - $140 - $120 - $100...to 24!

Ken Schrader is one of the most popular and successful drivers in American motorsports, and LSS officials are thrilled to have him bring his Federated Auto Parts #9 Modified to LSS to compete with all the drivers in the area...and to mingle with the fans before the event in the VIP Party Pass area.
Schrader's racing career has spanned 40 years and he has wins and/or championships in about every series in which he has competed; from NASCAR's three national series to USAC's Sprint and Silver Crown series. Schrader is a Daytona 500 polesitter and has won the prestigious Bud Shoot-Out at Daytona International Speedway. In addition, he has competed in literally 1,000's of Dirt Modified and Late Model events throughout his career, so he is fully capable of hanging with the LoneStar big dogs.

LoneStar Schrader/Texas Outlaw Mods now POSTPONED until MAY 10 & JUNE 13!
Kilgore TX (4/17/15) by DarinShort.com. Tumultuous spring weather is forcing LoneStar Speedway's (LSS) highly anticipated showdown between NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader taking on the Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS) on Saturday April 18th to be postponed.
The jumbo-sized event is now being SPLIT between TWO existing LSS events:
-Kenny Schrader will take on the stout field of LSS Modified drivers in the Sunday, May 10th Mother's Day Spectacular, which also features the $1,300 to win 'For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving' event for Limited Modifieds. Again, Kenny will be racing in the Modified division, and the pre-race "Party with Ken" VIP passes will be held from 4pm-4:45pm. Details are at www.darinshort.com/ken.html and the event flyer for May 10 will be released very soon (it was ready, but it needs to be adjusted due to this addition)
-The Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS) will have their portion of the April 18th event rescheduled to Saturday June 13th, which is the LSS 6th Anniversary event. It will still pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start, with TOMS/USRA rules in effect for the Modified division. It will be a LSS points race in all divisions.
-We will let you know if the DISCOVERY Channel is able to reschedule their live taping at LSS as well. Negotiations are now underway.
Due to this excessively wet start to the racing season, we have to become the best event jugglers we can be. Between the 1.5" of rain last night, and NOAA's current prediction of another 1"-4" between now and Saturday night, there's no option for racing at LSS this weekend. We were going to try to move the show to Sunday, April 19th, but the latest forecast now shows rain not ending until after dark Saturday night, which is not enough drying time for a Sunday afternoon race either.
DETAILS on BOTH events, May 10th and June 13th, will be announced in the days to come. We wanted to get out this April 18th postponement announcement immediately. Thanks for your understanding as this is an outdoor venue, but we'll get Ken Schrader back to LoneStar on May 10th, and the TOMS back on June 13, now we all just have to wait.

Ken Schrader Takes on Top Texas Modified Drivers at LoneStar Speedway - Saturday April 18!
Kilgore TX (4/6/15) by DarinShort.com. Racers and fans alike are set for a night of personal interaction and racing action with Ken Schrader as he will take on the best Modified drivers in the state of Texas, Saturday April 18th at LoneStar Speedway (LSS) near Kilgore, TX.
This will be a Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS) points event, with an excellent competitor purse being posted; $2,000 to win and $200 to start (24th). The full driver payback is listed below. This is also a full LSS points event for all race divisions (see below).
Ken Schrader is one of the most popular and successful drivers in American motorsports, and LSS officials are thrilled to have him bring his Federated Auto Parts #9 Modified to LSS to compete with all the drivers in the region...and meet with the fans.
This special event is also a chance for race fans to get up close and personal with Ken, as LSS is hosting a pre-race "Party with Ken" VIP Pass.
While supplies last, you can purchase your "Party with Ken" VIP pass at www.darinshort.com/ken.html and it includes the following:
-General Admission to the event
-Reserved section seating upgrade (bucket seats)
-Food and drink coupon for (1) Homemade Mexican Dinner Plate and Soft Drink at the VIP concession stand (near turn 1)
-Access to VIP Party with Ken (held inside reserved section). The "Party with Ken" event will be held from 6:00pm until 6:45pm sharp. Ken will be available in the VIP area at that time for pictures with fans, autograph signings and apparel purchases/signings.
...and it only adds $10 to the posted cost of general admission tickets for all age groups!
If you can't make the party, Ken will also be signing autographs and meeting fans after the races at his race trailer in the pit area.
General Adult Grandstand Admission to this event is just $15, and $5 for kids ages 6-11; as we want everyone to be able to afford to come see this special night of racing and fun!
Along those same lines, the "Party with Ken" VIP Pass costs just $25 for Adults, in other words $10 more than General Admission. Ages 6-11 are $15 and ages 5 and under are $10 (and include all of the VIP Pass components described above).
The VIP food area will be served from the South concession stand (near corner 1) until 8pm. Advance VIP ticket sales are open through 4/17PM, or while supplies last. Event day VIP Party with Ken tickets may, or may not, be sold at the track, and will be $5 higher for all ages - if available. In the case of weather forcing cancellation of this event, your online purchases will be refunded within 24 hours. The pre-race Party with Ken is from 6pmto 6:45pm on April 18th, so make sure to be on time, as Ken has to race as soon as the VIP event ends!
Make sure to take in all the fun on this special night by clicking www.darinshort.com/ken.html - and in a few clicks you'll be all set for race night on April 18th!
As previously stated, this special night of racing and fun will be a sanctioned points event for the Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS), featuring drivers such as Clyde Dunn Jr., Wesley Veal, Kyle Sweeny, Bobby Malcus, Cody Smith, Josh Landers, Danny Veal, Troy Taylor, Colby Smith, Charlie Smith, Kevin Sustaire, Triston Dycus, Chase Allen, Billy Brierton and B.J. Blaze.
Plus, DISCOVERY Channel will be filming the popular TV program "MegaSpeed" at this special event and will be broadcast on one of their upcoming 2015 episodes. MegaSpeed is now filming for its second season on Discovery Channel, and transports viewers on a six-episode high-intensity thrill ride - with each hour featuring multiple story arcs.
This is a point's event for the LoneStar Speedway Modified teams. Joining the strong TOMS contingent will be the top LoneStar Speedway Modified drivers, like Jason Ingalls, Larry Fears, Wes Armstrong, Billy Melton, Billy Jack Brutchin, Kelly Lockey, Jeff Harris, Robert Taylor, T.J. Steele, Greg Penny, Glen Perry, Donnie Powers, Dennie Gieber, Clint Mayne and Donny McBride Jr.
The Modified feature race will be contested over 30 green flag laps, and a very solid competitor purse is being offered by LSS: $2,000 - $1,000 - 800 - 600 - 500 - 400 - 300 - 280 - 260 - 240 - 220 - 200...through 24th. All Non-Qualifiers will receive $100. The standard TOMS entry fee of $50 will be in effect, and this is a USRA sanctioned points event. Non-USRA licensed drivers can purchase a temporary USRA license at the track on race night for $10.
Joining the special Modified event will be a complete LSS points program for the Limited Modifieds ($500/win) and Factory Stocks ($300/win). The Beginner Factory Stocks will round out the packed night of racing and fun with their feature event. There are no entry fees for these racing divisions on April 18th. Standard pit passes of $30 will be in effect. As in 2014, non-qualifier money will be awarded to any team not making their feature race: Limited Modifieds $30 and Factory Stocks $20.
As in the past several years, LSS offers a fantastic awards program to drivers that compete in at least 75% of the completed LSS points events - with a minimum of $10,000 cash being distributed to top performing drivers in each of the LSS points divisions. Over $13,000 was paid out in 2013 and again in 2014, with all nightly 50/50 drawing funds and driver registration fees adding to the points fund. There are now only 11 weekends of racing on the 2015 LSS schedule, which makes plenty of time for drivers to visit other tracks, go on family vacations; etc., yet still compete for a sizable points fund championship.
Here are some quick facts for the SATURDAY, APRIL 18th LONESTAR SPEEDWAY event:
-Pits open by 3pm, Grandstands open at 5pm, Hot Laps at 7pm, with Racing to follow immediately. The draw-in for heat races closes at 6:15pm.
-Pre-race "Party with Ken" event for VIP Pass holders from 6pm-6:45pm sharp. Click www.darinshort.com/ken.html to get your advance VIP Passes and to get more information.

Campbell Brown Calls Out McCain Campaign for 'Sexist' Barrier Between Sarah Palin and the Media
By overprotectively shielding Palin from the media, the McCain campaign is sending the message that the women in this election aren't as tough as the men, complains the CNN anchor.
While witnessing the hypercautious way in which the McCain campaign protects Sarah Palin from any unscripted interaction with the media (as adeptly chronicled by Moe over at Gawker), one might simply chalk it up to the fact that the Republicans are afraid Palin will crumble under direct questioning. And that is probably correct. It's not that she will necessarily flounder (how would we know?), but that the McCain camp is afraid that she will. And CNN's Campbell Brown has had enough of it. For all the GOP bluster that Palin is "tough," a "maverick ready to take on Washington," and a "pitbull with lipstick," Brown observed last night on air that they're treating her like a "delicate flower that will wilt at any moment." "I have had enough of the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin," Brown railed. "It has to end." "Allow her to show her stuff," she continued. "Let her have a real news conference with real questions." Wonder how Campbell-hating Steve Schmidt is going to get faux-outraged over this one?

consulates in 18 locations served an bases for spying on leaders of the host country. the list includes missions in 20 cities in asia, including beijing, bangkok and jakarta. no cities in japan, britain or australia were on it suggesting the u.s. agents may not be spying on those allies. u.s. researchers have scoured their latest satellite images from north korea. they say they see more evidence that the north koreans are developing their ability to launch mobile missiles. researchers at johns hopkins university analyzed images taken earlier this month. the pictures show the launch site in the northwest. the researchers say workers have built a new road connecting a missile assembly building to what seems to be a new launchpad. they say the width of the road suggests heavy vehicles will use it. they say those vehicles include types that can transport and launch ballistic missiles from sites around the country.

now, iranian negotiators are promising to take a new approach to ease concerns about their nuclear program. they are meeting with officials from the international atomic energy agency for the first time since iranian president hassan rouhani took office in august. international inspectors have been trying for years to get into a facility on the outskirts of tehran. they suspect engineers have been trying to develop nuclear weapons at the parchin military complex. the iaea chief met with iran's deputy foreign minister and abbas hinted to reporters that he made a new proposal during that meeting. members of rouhani's government have said repeatedly they'll be more transparent about their nuclear program. the top diplomats from the european union and japan agreed to cooperate over the issue. catherine ashton serves as the chair for representatives of iran and since world powers. she met in tokyo with the
7:32 am
japanese foreign minister, kishida, who said japanese officials will take advantage of their relations with iranians and urged them to take concrete steps forward. international inspectors in charge of disposing of syria's chemical weapons expect to finish one task soon. a senior official with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons said they'll meet a friday deadline for destroying facilities for weapons production. >> we are quite sure that the process of destruction of the mixing facilities or filling facilities is -- will completely be done by the expected date. >> the inspectors will begin the second phase of their operation. they'll start disposing of the 1,000 tons of chemical agents they estimate the syrian government has stockpiled. horin said officials are looking for ways to get rid of the
7:33 am
agents safely. moving on to business news now. investors around the world are looking for clues about when the u.s. federal reserve will start scaling back its stimulus program. policymakers at the central bank are meeting to decide their next steps. david stockton served as the fed's chief economist. he's now a senior fellow at the peterson institute for international economics. nhk world asked him what to expect. >> another fmoc meeting is coming up very soon. is it fair to think we shouldn't expect anything new from the fed within this year? >> i certainly think it's very, very unlikely that the fed does anything at the october fomc meeting. simply the data they've seen will not be looking very, very promising and i think they're likely not to want to move at that point in time. i think march is looking more likely as the first time in the
7:34 am
first taping. that will be janet yellin's first meeting to chair the fomc. i think the thing they'll be looking for is clear evidence that the labor market is continuing to improve and that the pace of economic activity in the united states is picking up. i think that's really what they want to see. obviously, they're balancing that against the potential for some financial stability concerns that they stay easy too long. but i don't think they've seen enough evidence that there really are significant financial imbalances at least in the united states at present to cause them to want to prematurely begin to tighten. i think it is more likely that they wait until march. >> now the debt ceiling issue may come up early next year. do you think this would be a distraction for the new fed chair yellin? >> i think for one, one would certainly hope it's been a rather sad spectacle here in the united states watching fiscal policy developments over the
7:35 am
next month or so. we needlessly inflicted considerable pain on the economy for the fourth quarter this year with absolutely nothing to show for it. i do think that is likely, the failure of those confrontations to produce any positive results makes it less likely that we get into the same kind of conflict we saw here in october of this year. so i think it's less likely to be a factor early next year than it was in fed decisions not to taper in september. so i don't think, unless the congress, once again, pursues a completely reckless path, i don't think that's going to be a stumbling block for the fed to begin to taper in the early part of next year. >> so what are the remaining risks for the u.s. economy? is it that weak to taper any stimulus? >> we've had a very huge amount of fiscal restraint on activity over the course of 2013 and that is likely to lessen as we move into 2014 and we ought to see
7:36 am
some pickup but it's still the case that businesses remain very cautious. i think households as well certainly are remaining cautious. income growth hasn't been very swift. so i think domestically there is certainly risk and of course internationally there are risks as well. europe while it certainly seems to be out of its most acute portion of the crisis still constitutes a drag on the global economy. while china has looked better of late and that's certainly been encouraging there are risks there as well. the most important thing the united states can do for the global economy at this point is to generate a more vigorous recovery here in the united states. i think that will have positive spillovers to the rest of the wor world. and anything that we do such as the fiscal turmoil we had this year, the earlier premature talk of fed tapering are things that slow the u.s. economy, and i think that's not good for the
7:37 am

tomorrow. take a look at the isobars. the closer they are, the winds are strong. the proximity is very small. means over 110 kilometer per hour winds will still be in store and on top of that, heavy sudden bursts of downpours will be scattered across much of northern europe still. this system will be pulling away. a couple of low-pressure systems will be creating very unsettled conditions across much of the northern half. so we're not going to be seeing the british isles to be settling for another while. we do actually have another atlantic system moving in, covering much of the isles on wednesday. meanwhile, things are going to be tapering down here across the western regions. lesser winds, which is fogood news. clear skies. temperatures will be dipping down into single digits in the morning hours. radiation cooling will be the factor there. the temperatures are not doing so bad across much of these areas across the black sea region, especially. 21 degrees. it's going to be foggy, but still temperatures are now. budapest at 21 with partly sunny

7:58 am
homes and leading perfect careers and if you look at television shows which are fictional so you do not expect them to be real. they are showing women who are successful mothers and look origins and we fall into believing that these fictional lives are somehow accurate depictions of what our real lives should be about. >> what responsibilities are women thrusting upon themselves? >> what women are doing to themselves is that they are seeing these different images of perfection. the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect career person, the perfect movie star and they are thinking they should be all of these things. that is the problem because i want to be ambitious for women. i am ambitious for myself. women can definitely find areas in which they want to excel at we need to keep in mind that if you are focused on one thing you're not able to be perfect or even very good at everything else. tavis: if the paradigm has
7:59 am
shifted and you are calling for a new construct, help me understand how women reframe the conversation and this agenda for the 21st century? rex one thing that women can do is be more honest with themselves and friends and be more willing to say i am excited about this part of my life but i am screwing up over here or this is a mistake or something i have given up on. we should feel more liberated to say i cannot bake the cookies for the school bake sale because i do not have the time. or i am sorry but i cannot do this at work because i have too much else going on this week. we have to be more upfront and say -- say no for lack of a better world -- better word and modeling that for others. it is important for middle-aged women to clear -- be clear and say you cannot have it all. nobody has it all.

Hermes Eau des Merveilles is a gorgeous scent!! I adore the salty ocean vibe, like I have spent the day swimming in the sea and the sun has dried me off. It's not a big perfume, but a natural smelling transparent aura of fragrance that surrounds you. Lasts pretty long for an EDT. Also, the soft sillage is a plus in my opinion, as it's perfect even if it's very hot outside. Just don't overspray! This is best sprayed lightly. Love this scent and I'm thrilled to have found it at such an amazing price!!!

Ok - this seems to be somewhat backwards from what most people try to do...but rather than embed my photo gallery into my WP blog, I'd like to embed my WP loop into a template that I've created for my Gallery2 photo gallery. So far I've put the <?php require('./myblogdirectory/wp-blog-header.php'); ?> into my main.php file, and put the loop (which works in the rest of my website) into the theme.tpl file...but it doesn't pull the information from the blog into the gallery template. For an example, please check out http://www.HernandoLuxuryHomes.com
The main pages of the site have the loop in the lower right...but if you click on "Luxury Residential" in the left-sidebar it takes you into my Gallery template that I use to showcase my listings...I can't get my WP loop to work inside that template.
Any help would be immensely appreciated...cuz I'm at a bit of a loss...

Jesse Ventura says he questions gov't more than most because he doesn't drink fluoridated water
Jesse: Drinking tap water is like downing "liquid Prozac."
Earlier this week, Jesse Ventura went on the Unprofessional podcast to talk about a possible 2016 presidential run, the lessons he learned as Governor of Minnesota... and the role fluoridated water might play in keeping the American people "sheepish."
EARLIER THIS MONTH: Jesse Ventura poses with Dayton, Carlson, and Pawlenty, wears tie dye [PHOTO]
Perhaps that last comment shouldn't surprise us, seeing as how Jesse hosted a show about conspiracy theories and has made similar claims during recent TV interviews. But still, we couldn't help but appreciate how Jesse invoked fluoridated water not only to explain why American politics is so f'd up, but also to explain why he's such a uniquely rogue character.
Here's a transcript of what Jesse said on that topic (to listen to the whole podcast, click here -- the transcribed portion begins around seven minutes in):
JESSE: The problem is this, we have lost sight as a people in this country to the fact that the government works for us, we don't work for the government... It's our money that runs the government, therefore we're the boss. We've lost sight of that.
[Host asks him, "Why has it gone this way? What's wrong with us?"]
JESSE: You're asking me now, what, to be a psychologist? I'm not sure. I laughingly, and maybe not laughingly, tell you it might be the water. Well the reason is fluoride -- that's required by federal government -- makes every city put fluoride in the water and they've been doing it since the 1950s allegedly so we have nice teeth.
And the point being, mostly, fluoride in water was first done by -- you know by who? The Nazis. The Nazis were the first people to put fluoride in water so we learned that from them. Now here's the big point, when you laugh about it, it might be more serious than you think. I learned this doing my television show.
The Nazis were the first to put fluoride in the water but fluoride is roughly 90 percent the component of Prozac. If you're drinking fluoride water for 20 years you're drinking liquid Prozac. Well over the years it probably stores up in your body and maybe that's why [the American people are so apathetic about politics]. Because what does Prozac do? And why would the Nazis put Prozac in the water? Well to obviously calm and docile [sic] the people. Make them, you know, more sheepish.
Maybe I am like I am, for whatever reason, not knowing that [in] all the houses I've had my adult life I've had my own well. So I haven't been drinking fluoridated water. So maybe that's why Jesse Ventura questions the government more and why I do what I do, and I don't go along with the status quo.
Later, Jesse was asked how serious he is about a 2016 presidential run. Here's what he said:
JESSE: I laid down a challenge because people ask me all the time and many say, 'Run, run, run.' Well, my view is, I need some proof that it's worth it again. You know, I put myself out there twice as Mayor and as Governor, and to be President I need some proof that the people, its gotta come from them. And plus I don't want to spend a lot of money -- I find it obscene, the money spent to get these offices.
So I said, here's what it would require. It would require a grassroots movement. I would run with no political party. None. The reason being is I think I could win the election, because I would offer the people the chance to vote for President for the first time -- George Washington is the only President we've ever had that didn't belong to a political party. And it would give the people of this country the opportunity to make history, to elect someone who does not belong to either of the political parties or any party for that matter.
But what would that require? That would require a grassroots movement in every state... to get me on the ballot in every state, all 50, and then I would need some type of guarantee that I would be allowed in the debates, because if you're not allowed in the debates you have no chance of winning. If you are allowed in the debates you can win which I proved in Minnesota. I was polling only 10 percent at the primary, I was allowed in the debates and I ended up winning the governorship eight weeks later.
We can see the bumper stickers now: "Ventura/Stern 2016: Freeing American minds from fluoride."

I liked the close proximity to the Burj Al-Arab
It did not feel 5-stars...the only decent part about it was the view and proximity to the Burj Al-Arab, but that's about it.

The pool and Wild Wadi Park
It was very bad and sorry for that as important as the FIFA World Cup is not available to allow a channel to watch the games in the hotel room, and needed to go to the bar to view the event.
It is an excellent hotel with very good service and generous rooms

Both Obama and Romney seem to be less sure-footed on Google+ than they are on other social networking platforms. Or maybe it's that Google+ does not lend itself to the kind of thing presidential candidates need to be doing. It's a good lesson for businesses: Don't jump on every social network just because. Instead, pick the one or ones that your customers tend to use and that have features that best fit with your business goals. On Google+, Obama has almost 4,000 users in his Circles, and more than 2 million users have him in their Circles. Obama also has made use of the platform by participating in a Hangout around this year's State of the Union address. However, the content on his Google+ site is mostly promotional videos right now.

We stayed at the Microtel while in Clear Lake for a show at the Surf Ballroom. Our two-queen room was reasonable size (maybe a tad on the small side for middle America, but still very comfortable), the beds were comfortable, and the room was spotlessly clean. We paid a few extra dollars ($10?) for the "upgraded" room, which essentially gets you a microwave and refrigerator, which came in handy. Our room was on the first floor near the side entrance, so we were a little nervous about noise during the night, but aside from the occasional door slam in the hallway, we didn't hear much and both slept soundly.
The free wireless internet was excellent. We even managed to stream an NFL playoff game through a Roku device on the tv, and it only buffered a few times. It's great to get decent internet connectivity in such a rural area for free.
Breakfast was pretty standard - cereal, a few pastries, muffins and bagels, coffee, hard boiled eggs. Nothing special, but on par for the price and enough to fill you up before you hit the road.
Front desk staff was extremely pleasant, organized and responsive. Check in took 2 minutes, check out took 2 minutes, no waiting either time. Overall, this is a great hotel for a night or two.

Walk to End Hunger
Like the bulk of Middle America, you're probably not planning to hit up the mall until Friday, one of the biggest shopping days in the U.S. Instead, how about going to a mall this Thursday? I'm not talking about shopping; there will be plenty of opportunities to stimulate the economy and give back to capitalism in the coming month. But those looking to do some good this Thanksgiving can walk the Mall of America and raise funds for organizations that struggle to feed those in need. Sure, you'll miss the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but you've probably seen that tired old inflated Garfield enough already. Sign up early or check in at open registration between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., put on your best mall sneakers, and walk the 5K route (you can walk as little or as much of it as you please). Though the fight to end hunger is a continuous one, the problem has been on the rise: over the past six years, food shelf usage has gone up 250 percent in the suburbs alone. Think your contribution doesn't mean much? Donate $100 and you've raised enough to feed three kids lunch for a month. The walk will benefit local charities, including Second Harvest Heartland, Emergency Foodshelf Network, and the Greater Twin Cities United Way. For more info or to sign up, call 612.807.2228 or visit www.walktoendhunger.org. 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. 60 E. Broadway, Bloomington.

NEW YORK - You won't find it on Nickelodeon. It's no Children's Television Workshop presentation. "Miss Sally's Schoolyard" is a kiddie show, but the only televisions that receive it are inside the walls of Oswald Penitentiary - on the HBO prison drama "Oz."
Gathered around a TV set in Cell Block 5, Miss Sally's jail house devotees watch with a passion that has little to do with her goody-goody manner or the goofy skits with her puppet pals.
What makes them prisoners of "Miss Sally's Schoolyard" is something else: Miss Sally's very large chest.
Oddly enough, they seem more aware of it than Miss Sally is.
She jumps and bounces with the fidgety abandon of a 5-year-old. Nothing about the figure she cuts seems to strike her as excessive.
No wonder she captivates the prisoners.
No wonder she also brings some comic relief to the otherwise ferocious "Oz."
And, for television, she represents a first. On "The Simpsons," the cartoon siblings Bart and Lisa watch "Itchy and Scratchy" cartoons.
But "Miss Sally's Schoolyard," however little of it "Oz" viewers ever get to see, surely qualifies as TV's first live-action series-within-a-series: Miss Sally always stays behind the glass.
This earns a certain distinction for Whitney Allen, the 24-year-old actress who plays Miss Sally.
In her wordless and uncredited role, Allen stars in a TV series you have to watch another TV series in order to glimpse.
As Miss Sally, she is not once but twice removed from real life.
Of course, playing Miss Sally wasn't all that complicated.
"I knew what I was supposed to be," said Allen, summing it up: "Good body, sweet face."
Behold Miss Sally as a Girl Scout, cheerleader or Swedish milkmaid. The leering prisoners certainly do. "Miss Sally's Schoolyard" may be aimed at little children. But among her unintended audience of lifers, Miss Sally isn't kid stuff.
On last week's "Oz," Miss Sally looked fetching in a nurse's uniform as she farcically attended to poor, sick puppet Nooter.
The other puppet, Pecky, is the doctor.
Not that you can hear any of it - nor, by choice, do the inmates. The TVs are audible only through headphones, which are clearly unrequired for savoring Miss Sally's, er, effervescence.
But here's the best part of the joke that Miss Sally embodies: contemplating who the joke is on. Is it Miss Sally, the unwitting lust object for a pack of murderers and rapists?
Or is it those inmate-admirers, in the grip of a woman who mocks their deprivation with every jiggle - yet will never even know they exist?
Or is the joke on you, the "Oz" viewer? As it turns out, Miss Sally is padded.
"I guess my own body was good enough at the audition, but with the costumes they chose, it just wasn't the 'dream bust' they wanted," Allen said, amused by the vagaries of show biz.
"They wanted something out of control! I had these things that look like chicken cutlets in my bra."
Miss Sally was born not only out of naughtiness, but expedience.
In its first two seasons, the inmates of "Oz" watched actual shows. But buying rights to use TV clips is complex and costly, according to "Oz" creator Tom Fontana.
"This year, we said, 'Let's make up our own show,' " he said.
Fontana knew this interior series would have to be something prisoners would want to watch. He considered a mock soap opera. Or maybe a "Jerry Springer"-like talk show.
"Then I recalled when I was a kid and I watched 'Kukla, Fran and Ollie': a woman with two puppets. We decided to do a show like that. Except our woman would have enormous breasts."
Her co-star puppets were designed and suggestively christened. Pecky emerged as a little man who pays visual homage to Kukla. Nooter looks like a bespectacled, toothless version of the dragon Ollie.
Meanwhile, a call went out for the Fran.
"Some of the girls we saw were too Playboy-esque, too Vegas-y," said casting director Alexa Fogel. "We needed someone playful, with a sense of humor, and voluptuous. But wholesome."
Allen, a girl-next-door type with a flair for comedy, filled the bill.
A native of Wilmette, Ill., she had moved to Manhattan three years earlier, where she promptly won a role in "Forbidden Broadway," a long-running revue that spoofs New York theater. She also did a guest shot on "Spin City," as a former girlfriend of star Michael J. Fox.
But now she was a regular - sort of - in a critically acclaimed series that, in its previous seasons, she had watched and loved.
Last January, weeks before "Oz" resumed production, she reported for the "Miss Sally" shoot.
They had just one day to tape segments for all eight of this season's "Oz" episodes.
"It was really fun," Allen said. "I just told myself, 'This is a character who has no idea what she looks like. She is a complete innocent.' And that's what you laugh at. That, and the perverted, awful things those guys say about Miss Sally."
When Allen tunes in "Oz" each week, she finally gets to hear them.

Last year about a 100,000 people attended Cultivate events in Chicago, Denver and San Francisco, but millions of additional consumers were reached through related advertising, social media and PR. We continue to be encouraged by the reach and response of these events, with more than 90% of attendees saying that they would attend again the next year and would recommend the event to others.
We'll also continue to do more traditional advertising which is designed to keep Chipotle top of mind with our customers. Our new campaign entitled Better Ingredients is currently running in many Chipotle markets around the country. The creative content focuses on our use of great ingredients and classic cooking techniques and includes print, online ads and outdoor.
Finally, we're encouraged by the growth seeds that we have planted including our international expansion ShopHouse and Pizzeria Locale. Since our last call, we recently opened our third restaurant in Paris and we now have 10 restaurants open in Europe, including six in London and one in Frankfurt. I should remind you however, that we review our portfolio of growth seeds as opportunities for long-term growth potential and that our growth will be driven by the development of Chipotle restaurants in the United States for the foreseeable future.
I'll now turn the call over to Mont.
Montgomery F. Moran - Co-CEO: Thanks Steve. I'm really proud of the results our restaurant teams delivered during the first quarter. While many restaurants and retailers have talked about a tough consumer environment, not only because of the weather and the tepid economy, our teams have created such a warm and welcoming environment that our customers visited at an accelerated rate during the quarter. This terrific environment our customers discover when they visit Chipotle is the result of the special people culture our managers are creating in our restaurants.
It's a culture that emerges when you hire only terrific people who believe in and are committed to work Chipotle is headed; who have a desire to learn how to cook delicious food made from high quality ingredients and who thrive in a culture where are empowered to contribute to their absolute fullest potential including becoming the future leaders of Chipotle.
Of course, this is the culture that customers discover when they visit our restaurateur restaurants and every one of our managers throughout the country is intently focused on creating this very same restaurateur culture in their own restaurants.
Today we have more than 500 restaurateurs including over 90 in field leadership positions, but we have more than 1,200 managers who are working hard to become restaurateur soon. In fact every single one of our managers has targeted becoming a restaurateur within the next 12 months most of them sometime during this year. We know this because the plan tool that you've heard me talk about during the past two earnings calls identifies a specific plan of action by which each GM will create a restaurateur culture in their restaurant.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
What as a simple request from Parks and Recreation's producers for Patton Oswalt to ramble on set about the subject of his choice turned into the comedian's insanely epic pitch for a Star Wars/Marvel crossover, which became an Internet sensation before the episode even aired. That, in turn, gave birth to a movie poster, a video interpretation and now, thanks to Nerdist, an animated version — complete with Chewbacca's head and new robot body.
Awesome job.
Very cool!
blackbird!! the x-men do not have the quinjet!!
Hence the X symbol peeling off the side of the quinjet as it flies, revealing the SHIELD symbol.
Why would Reed pilot it, isn't The Thing usually the pilot of that group?
