Seven couples remain in the final two weeks of the competition. Somehow, it appears something went wrong at the beginning of the show. There was a shot of the audience applauding and then they went to commercial before anything happened. Technical difficulties so late in the game? They came back and Tom pointed out that was not how the show was supposed to start. This week, the couples perform two dances – including a trio dance. Up first, the couples perform their Veterans Day tributes. WARNING: There are so many couples and so many dances, I didn't have time to really get into them to make many notes. Apologies.
COUPLE: Shawn & Derek
DANCE: Viennese Waltz
This was lovely, but I didn't feel like Shawn was showing me a whole lot of emotion. When I couldn't see her face, I kept thinking she was flawless. She seemed so focused on the dance and not on the feeling.
Len said the dance was quiet, gentle and louder than any music you could hear. He wanted to see more dancing in hold. Bruno said it was heavenly perfection. Carrie Ann said something magical happened.
TRIO: Shawn, Derek & Mark
DANCE: Samba
This was like something out of "The Lion King." Only naughtier. And with gymnastics. It was crazy entertaining, but not much samba.
Len said if he was in the audience, he'd be cheering with the audience. He said the problem was it was self-indulgent. The dance had very little samba content. He said if Shawn goes home tomorrow, she should blame Mark and Derek. Bruno said he had jungle fever. He said as art, it was fantastic. He said the dance wasn't really a samba. Carrie Ann disagreed with them. She said sometimes you have to take risks. She said what they did of samba was executed to perfection.
SCORE: 26 (Carrie Ann gave them a 10)
TOTAL SCORE: 93.5 (this includes last week's scores)
COUPLE: Apolo & Karina
DANCE: Tango
Apolo started by using a zipline from the balcony to the stage. My inner Len hates the gimmick like that! He didn't need it. This was one of Apolo's best dances – even if Karina was counting through the whole thing.
Bruno said it was a dare devil of a tango. He said it was like Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible." Carrie Ann loved it. She said Apolo's lines were ridiculous. Len said Apolo danced with verve and passion. He said it was great.
TRIO: Apolo, Karina & Sasha
DANCE: Jive
This started with some break dancing moves, then they got to jiving. But only briefly, there were some crazy flips. It was fun, but I wanted more jive!
Bruno said they took a huge risk, but Apolo conquered it brilliantly. He said Apolo did a fantastic job. Carrie Ann said it was Apolo's most vibrant performances. Len said it was fast, sharp, tight and together.
SCORE: 29 (Bruno gave it a 10)
COUPLE: Kirstie & Maks
DANCE: Viennese Waltz
Kirstie's acting skills come in handy here. She showed emotion through the dance. This wasn't complicated, but she did well.
Carrie Ann said the musical interpretation and Kirstie's lines were beautiful. She said it was one of Kirstie's best dances – she wants more difficult choreography. Len said it was Kirstie's best dance. Bruno said it was stylish, elegant, nice and well-danced.
TRIO: Kirstie, Maks & Tristan
DANCE: Paso Doble
Three words: giant angel wings. Once they lost those, this went full-on paso doble. Kirstie did her best and it was good enough. It might have had the most content of the other trio dances (so far).

Normally the only thing that causes that symptom when you have used copper down to the tub spout is that the valve is installed upside down.
I installed a new tub fixture. It is the two handle type with 1/2 inch copper going up to the shower and 1/2 copper going down and over to the tub spout. When I run the tub, water drips out of the shower. What might be the problem?
Normally the only thing that causes that symptom when you have used copper down to the tub spout is that the valve is installed upside down.
When you say you ran the tub spout down and over are you saying it's not just under the valve? If so this may be your problem. If you have to many fittings between the valve and the spout the added restriction is forcing some water to the shower head.
I assume he meant "down and out" rather than "down and over, (and then out)".
To clarify: I ran copper down and out. There is only one 90 degree fitting between the valve and the tub spout.
Can you post a picture of the valve.
The side toward the shower is a reduced size, forcing water to the tub first.
If the valve is upsidedown, then some water will be forced up to the shower head.
Some valves don't want you to use both outputs...they want a twin-el if you need both, then cap the other valve outlet. What does the instruction sheet say? Does it say you can use both?
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
Those valves do not have the shower restrictor and are usually thermostatic valves, such a Grohe. But if they were installed improperly, it would be a "gush/flood" from the shower head, not a drip.

Sarah Smith (Lily Rabe), an artist and hydrologist, sets out on a post-fire stream survey, during which she encounters a sasquatch man.
Thank you for visiting our Kickstarter page. Although "Letters From the Big Man" is my fifth feature film to be released, it is my first experience with crowd funding. It is especially rewarding to be able to connect directly with this film's audience, which for far too long has had to suffer through countless second-rate genre films on the subject of sasquatch. We believe that our film addresses this subject more carefully and accurately than prior productions.
The screenplay was begun in early 2005, and several years were spent developing the material and figuring out an optimal way to execute it. The main unit shooting took place in autumn of 2009 in southern Oregon -- the Illinois Valley, the Rogue Valley, the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, and the coastal range. Additional shooting took place in 2010 in Oregon and Los Angeles.
The challenges of this particular production encompassed creating believable special effects makeup on a limited budget (handled masterfully by designer Lee Romaire and actor Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.), and shooting in remote locations with a tiny but superb crew led by cinematographer Rob Sweeney. In addition to Isaac, we were blessed with the formidable acting talents of Lily Rabe and Jason Butler Harner in the leads, and such solid supporting cast as Jim Cody Williams, Fiona Dourif, Don McManus, and Karen Black.
The film opened at Sundance 2011 and subsequently played numerous other U.S. festivals, after which we began a small theatrical self-release. The reaction I have observed from these audiences has been extremely heartening. While the production itself was financed on a shoestring by a handful of dedicated backers, its release has been unfunded, as the film remained unsold despite mostly favorable reviews, some of which are excerpted below.
That is the reason we are now undertaking a direct-to-fan DVD and (with the help of the Sundance Institute) a VOD release, by which the film will reach a larger audience. However, this also means that the costs of distribution must be borne by us, and that is the reason for this Kickstarter campaign. The proceeds of the campaign will be used to pay for: authoring, design, and manufacture of the initial pressing of discs; creation of bonus materials; purchasing errors and omissions insurance required for the VOD release; purchasing ads on Facebook and elsewhere; and fulfillment of campaign rewards. The campaign goal we have set is the minimum required, and if more is raised, it will be applied to obtaining the services of a publicist and marketing efforts.
Thanks in advance for your assistance at any level.
"Letters from the Big Man will mystify some, please others with its serenity, and be unlike any Bigfoot movie you have ever imagined." –Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
"An original and affecting take on the sasquatch legend. . . . . This is clearly not a film made for everyone, but for a fortunate few, it will feel like a cleansing in nature." –Hollywood Reporter (James Greenberg)
"Letters from the Big Man sustains its deeply felt love of nature's mystery—and majesty." –Artforum (Melissa Anderson)
"Letters isn't a spoof, a horror movie or a new-age metaphor. . . . It's closer to a fairy tale that retains its hold on the adult imagination." –Film Comment (Amy Taubin)
"Lovely, delightfully idiosyncratic." –New York Times (Manohla Dargis)
"Graceful, uncynical and transporting, Letters is an original and a beauty." –New City, Chicago (Ray Pride)
"A remarkable film." –The New Yorker (Richard Brody)
"[A] powerful meditation on the environment without the heavy handedness of a Greenpeace ad." –Brooklyn Based
"Director-writer Christopher Munch just wants to tell a light-handed, low-key story about several people who like the woods, while he photographs those woods lovingly enough to make us fall for them as well. There happens to be a sasquatch in the background, but he never channels King Kong." –The Province-Vancouver
"A beautifully realized tale of the bond that develops between a sasquatch and a female scientist." –Filmmaker Magazine (Damon Smith)

These cookies are so cute and easy to make. My whole family loves to eat these around the holidays. I personally like Hugs on top instead of Kisses but I usually make both kinds for my family. Honestly though, these cookies are great for any occasion!
Review 12/16/2010 9:00:00 PM by gferland:
My favorite cookie for Christmas. I made these again today and everyone love them!
Review 12/16/2010 5:00:00 AM by katrinaoman7:
These are a definite holiday favorite! I had never made these before, but they were pretty simple. However, a little time consuming. I feel that the cookie part wasn't as sweet as I remember, but I may use 1/2 cup of sugar instead of the 1/3 cup next time or add a half tsp more of vanilla.
Review 9/29/2010 11:31:00 PM by dclayton:
This is not the same recipie I remember. I remember it this way 1/2c shortning 1/2c peanut buter 1/2c sugar 1/2c brown sugar 1 egg 1tsp vanilla 1 1/8c flour 1tsp baking soda 375 degrees for 8 minutes take out and put on kisses i had to call my mom to get this because this was the recipie put out in the 70's and is the recipie i like best i didn't like this one
Review 9/11/2010 4:35:19 PM by jlm1985:
My mom used to make these all the time when I was younger, I forgot about them until a few days ago when my brother mentioned them. They are definitely a childhood favorite.
Review 8/29/2010 6:39:08 PM by redwine48:
I love these cookies and I get rave reviews everytime I bake them. I always have to do a double batch and I still have to put 4-5 of them back if I am going to have any to enjoy with my hot tea.

EASY, QUICK, FUN! This is a good recipe if you want to include a child. They can easily roll the dough into balls, coat them with sugar, or really do any of the steps. My younger sister loves rolling the dough into balls. It's a fun bonding time! I also agree that this recipe is good for ANY occasion!

Fly with British Airways and enjoy award-winning service, excellent value for money and no hidden charges:
With more than twelve flights every day to New York (JFK & EWR) from London, it's never been easier to experience the city that never sleeps.
from: £425 returnfrom: London, Oct 2014Book
British Airways operate return flights to New York from London throughout the day so you can arrive at a time to suit. Fly direct from London Heathrow to JFK International Airport or Newark airports (EWR) or choose our business class only service from London City Airport (LCY). With connecting flights from throughout the UK and Europe there's no better way to arrive in The Big Apple.
Whether travelling for business or pleasure, New York offers something for everyone. Fly direct from London Heathrow and you could be in New York in less than 8 hours.
A direct flight from London Heathrow to New York JFK is 7 hours and 30 minutes. Our Business only BA001 service from London City allows you to clear US customs in Shannon, Ireland - saving you valuable time on your business trip.
UK Passport Holders are entitled to enter New York under the Visa Waiver Programme, however must have gained authorisation under ESTA.
Travelling in New York is relatively easy with a number of transport options including subways, buses, taxis, and trains. A typical taxi fare from JFK to to central Manhattan is around $55 including tolls and tip.
Tipping is very important to the New York economy. Waitresses, bellhops, and concierges will expect a small gratuity for their services. You don't have to tip wildly, 1 or 2 dollars is often plenty. In a restaurant or for room service, consider tipping 15 to 20 per cent of the bill instead.
The weather in New York changes significantly throughout the year with warm summers and cold winters. New York typically sees average highs of 28 in July to lows of -5 in January, so be sure to pack appropriately.

you know for all the PR hits the Catholic Church has been taking recently you would think they'd know better to replace a former Hitler Youth with a guy who openly supported brutal Argentine dictator Jorge Rafael Videla
Please stick to bad jokes. Politics/social commentary, is not your strong point.
Facts seem to elude your grasp(along with logic, humor and vagina).
I'm not surprised that they haven't covered Argentina in the late 70s yet in your Middle School history class yet
Let me school you:
The new Pope never supported a dictatorship. Your fumbled propaganda smells of progressive secularist. Anyway, you're purposely distorting the line between support, and lack of opposition. The new Pope may be guilty of not creating enough noise in opposition to the dictatorship, but that's hardly "supporting" it.
Once again, you fail to identify the distinction.
As for the new Pope:
He's a humble intellect, who's championed support for the destitute of the world. He's worked with the poor on a personal basis. He's also refused the extravagant lifestyle allotted to someone in his position; instead, choosing to take buses, dine with the poor and live in an apartment.
He's exactly the kind of person who could sweep out the corruption that suffocates large segments in the Vatican.

saw this product advertised and wanted to try! Dec 18, 2013
She said it used to be a bigger bottle and a stronger scent. May 20, 2013
Try it, I think you will get positive feedback, especially for the great "clean" smell. Aug 20, 2013
The answer to whether men can use original
musk oil, the answer is yes. The 3 men in my life
use it and no one would ever acuse them of smelling "girly". They alao use the speay. Aug 20, 2013
I do love the bottle better than the roller. I also bought the body wash and the lotion and I get so many compliments about the way I smell when I wear it all together. I am very happy with Kiehl's musk products! Jan 19, 2013

|Mexican Border Authorities Analyze Hospital Plan Model for Disaster Response
Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, July 13th, 2011 (PAHO/WHO) - Earthquakes, among other sudden onset disasters, cause a large number of traumas and disrupt the delivery of local health services. Those services may become overwhelmed, leading to long delays before primary care is received by victims; a situation widely reported by the mass media.
In this situations it is essential that the health sector ensures an appropriate and timely response to damages and, provides plans and organization processes, and sectoral coordination. These plans should be structured and implemented in advance and involve the health sector institutions, seeking the best use of resources and complementary services. Therefore the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization United States-Mexico Border Office, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Sonora organized a workshop to discuss a model of hospital plan for disaster preparedness and response to be held on:
Wednesday 13th to Friday July 15th, 2011
8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Río Suchiate 341, Brisas del Golfo, 83553
Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, México
Safe Hospitals initiative seeks to allow proper planning, immediately after a destructive phenomenon of high intensity and / or naturally occurring, so the institutions can continue operating at full capacity and within the same infrastructure.
This effort will not only benefit the patients or disaster products. Primarily, it ensures the protection of the health professional who works in the hospital, providing the tools and techniques needed to respond appropriately during and after the adverse event.
About Hospital Planning Course for Disaster Response
PURPOSE: Provide personnel responsible for hospital management, the methodology and content enabling them to develop a plan for hospital preparedness and response to emergencies and disasters.
METHODS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES: The participants will develop a hospital plan model for disaster response, by applying the methodology, working contents and equipment supplied.

What's Happening
More than a thousand golf courses dot the landscape of Florida and Daytona Beach rightly boasts of its share of challenging tracks. The Perry's team works with Daytona's best to build custom golf packages for both individuals and groups alike.
calls Daytona Beach its home and their two distinctly different courses are worthy of the moniker 'championship' quality. Natural wetlands & marshes, beautiful lakes and narrow pine corridors are just some of the beautiful backdrops to these memorable courses. Scoring opportunities are there for players who carefully plan their strategy.
Daytona Beach Golf Club
also offers up a pair of courses for your enjoyment. One of their layouts is a classic 1921 design by none other than Donald Ross, the man credited with laying the foundation of the American golf industry.
Venetian Bay Golf Club
is the newest of the Golf Courses in the Daytona Beach area. Opened in 2008 as a Private Course, Venetian Bay became a Semi Private course in late 2012. Public play is welcome and the club house facilities are available for group meetings and social events. Rates are reasonable and playing conditions make for a fun day for all levels of play.
" Come, Play the Bay!"
The course at
Halifax Plantation
has stately tree lined fairways that lead to large undulating greens. With a reputation for its consistent playability Halifax is always a safe bet for a memorable day of golf.
With the North Course now open to the public,
Pelican Bay
is another club that offers two courses. Both have plenty of water to avoid so be mindful of your tee shots!
Crane Lakes
golf course offers an 18 hole par 66 layout that opened in 1998. As the name implies, water is in play on most of the holes of this pristine course. Play here requires tight and accurate iron shots.
Spruce Creek Country Club
is a long time Daytona area favorite. A beautiful course that winds through majestic stands of pine, Spruce Creek is located at one of the premier US fly-in communities. The golf is great but it's also pretty cool to spot a resident taking a vintage WWII fighter out for a spin.
Cypress Head
golf course - "Absolutely beautiful!" is how a recent Perry's group described this wonderful course on Tripadvisor. Laid out through a cypress forest and natural Florida wetlands, Cypress Head offers gorgeous backdrops on every hole.
So call and book your golf getaway today. The team at Perry's will build you or your group the perfect golf escape!

text: It depends on how well you insulate the ducts and how you do it. The goal is to move the dew point higher so it doesn't condense. If you don't do something, you'll rust out the ductwork. the moisture in the area could provide the means for mold and other stuff to grow, too. Make sure that you seal the joints so the ducts don't leak, too.

Conversation and Tea with Adriana Trigiani
Tea with The Adriana -- what fun! Adriana Trigiani is just like her books -- fun, interesting, passionate, and real. Five LUCKY bloggers will share laughter and conversation with Adriana on May 27 at Alice's Tea Room in NYC . Please see TLC BookTours for detailed info.
A contest to see Adriana and now a GIVEAWAY to read Adriana! You don't have to be a blogger to win this prize. I have 5 copies of the paperback, Very Valentine, to give away. Please leave a comment and you will be entered to win. How easy is that?
Very Valentine tells the story of Valentine Roncalli, a thirty-three year old, who is struggling to bring her family's Greenwich Village shoe business out of financial distress while dealing with her family's personal dynamics, a trip to Italy to learn more about the shoe business, and her new chef-boyfriend, Roman Falconi. Filled with ups and downs, secrets, love, lost, and humor, Very Valentine is a treat for reading groups that want a great read full of characters with real life issues. Adriana fills the story with such a sense of place and love of Greenwich Village. The paperback even has recipes to help your book discussion, especially Teodaro's Limoncello. Lemons, vodka, and a big mason jar. What a hoot!
And, Adriana's new book, Brava, Valentine, will be released February 9. Yea! More of Valentine Roncalli and her family's hi-jinks with a touching and humorous wink at life's lessons.
Have you read any Adriana's books? Let me know and you will be entered in the Very Valentine giveaway! (sssh -- I'll be giving away Brava, Valentine next month!)
Adriana Trigiani
I was so excited to learn that I had won this month's book by Adriana Trigiani and started it on Valentime's Day...how appropriate! I will chat back when I finish but want' to drop in to say thank you.
Would love to win!
Fingers crossed (well, they will be after I finish typing).....
Would love to win!
I have enjoyed many of her books. Haven't read this one yet!
Thanks for the contest.
Would love to read her new book
I read her book, "Viola in Reel Life" and "reel"y enjoyed it.
I would LOVE to read one of her books!
I believe in supporting authors that put themselves out there. I try to follow blogs, join their groups, etc., all in the name of supporting fellow authors. Adrianna's books actually sound good and I'm pleased to hear of her success. Congrats! And good luck.
Would love to win a book!
Would love to win a book!
Adriana Trigiani
I have read and loved Lucia Lucia.
Adriana Trigiani
I can't wait to read Very Valentine. I have loved Big Stone Holler and her other books. She is a gifted writer who takes the reader to the homes of her characters. I am seriously thinking of adding her to my required summer reading this year year for my juniors. Thank you.
I like books that bring alive the location to those who have never been there. It sounds similar to what I did in my novel, Billion Dollar Winner where I brought to life the WestSide of Chicago that few authors mention.
I love her books, and love
I love her books, and love that she is promoting over Valentine's Day. She has a whole world full of amazing characters, and I can't get enough of them. I was delighted when she jumped into the Young Adult market---so teens can get a sense of her lucious writing.

The Discriminating Reeve April 29, 2013: I'll close with one choice item from my stash of non-poetry poetry. A block of medieval prose I find exquisitely moving. You have to read it outloud, though. I found it in a paperback called Anglo-Saxon Prose, a collection of interesting specimens selected and translated by Michael Swanton (Everyman, 1993). Swanton calls the piece "The [...]

Wrecked fishing boat, Dingle Bay, Ireland – Watercolour
We visited this area as I wanted to see where Charles Lindbergh made landfall in 1927. This is as far south and west as is possible to go in this island. We walked along the beach at Dingle Bay marvelling at the huge expanse of wet, flat sand with hardly anyone else in sight. Suddenly this heap of sticks and stones appeared and, as we got closer, realised this was the remains of a wrecked fishing boat. There was not much left except some of the framework. What was intriguing was the bottom was filled with huge stones. Had this been an attempt to stop the boat from being washed away or was this ballast? A bit sad to see this but the scene fired the imagination with all sorts of possibilities. The wreckage might have been here for some time but who knows with some of the fierce storm which this part of the world can experience.

From the the lobby of the Galleria Park Hotel take the elevator or stairs to the third floor. When you arrive at the third floor make a left into the hall and exit the building through the first door on your left onto the sun deck.
When you exit the hotel you'll enter a hidden, green sun terrace with plenty of benches to quietly soak in the surrounding architecture.
This space is the first of several Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS) that you will encounter on this walk.

The Hallidi building may not look like much at first sight, but it is one of the most, if not the most, historically significant buildings in San Francisco, and according to some even the world's most important building.

After observing the Hallidi building, enter the Crocker Galleria via a staircase located at the opposite side of the terrace from Galleria Park Hotel.

After exiting the elevator, make a left into Wells Fargo without exiting the building.
This Wells Fargo office offers a glimpse into the imperial grandeur of the past.
The rise of ATMs and online banking make most of the functions that were performed here obsolete.
To reach the lobby of 111 Sutter St., enter the hallway visible on your right when facing the center of Wells Fargo.
Look up to see the colorful painted ceiling that was restored in 2005.
Look down toward the marble floor to see (and feel with your foot) the footprint caused by millions of movements by the elevator captain.
Cross Sutter and Montgomery streets simultaneously by J-walking (diagonally crossing an intersection), an act that is allowed here, but usually considered a criminal offense.

Get ready for an invasion of private jets arriving from Lexington, Ky.; Durham, N.C.; Gainesville, Fla.; and elsewhere carrying college basketball coaches hoping to woo a growing group of talented guards from the high school class of 2015.
The days when Southern California wasn't represented at the McDonald's All American Game will be a thing of the past thanks to an infusion of young talent from the Inland Empire to the San Fernando Valley.
College recruiters already have their eyes on three sophomore guards who have established themselves as elite national prospects — Tyler Dorsey of Bellflower St. John Bosco, Marcus LoVett Jr. of Burbank Providence and Aaron Holiday of North Hollywood Campbell Hall.
But there are others closing in on the top three.
They include Sedrick Barefield of Corona Centennial, Myles Franklin of Newhall Hart and Stephen Thompson Jr. of Torrance Bishop Montgomery.
Then there's Max Hazzard of Los Angeles Loyola, Kendall Small of Huntington Beach Ocean View, Kenny Smith Jr. of Westlake Village Oaks Christian, Jeremy Hemsley of La Verne Damien and Kyle Leufroy of La Canada St. Francis.
Other sophomores making an impact at the varsity level include Cesar Reyes of Sun Valley Poly, Tristan Hunter of Perris, Justin Simon of Corona Roosevelt, Alex Copeland of Studio City Harvard-Westlake, Nick Anderson of Anaheim Canyon, Tyler Burch of Ocean View, Ke'jhan Feagin of Long Beach Poly, Rex Pflueger of San Juan Capistrano JSerra, Kahlil Simplis of Campbell Hall and Lindsey Drew of Los Angeles Fairfax.
"The 2015 class may be as good a class as there is in the country," UCLA assistant coach Scott Garson said.
Many of the sophomores have known each other for years.
"The competition is really good," Hart's Franklin said. "I know 99% of the sophomores. We've played against each other since sixth grade."
Franklin, a 6-foot point guard, has helped raise his profile by leading Hart to a 24-1 record, averaging 18 points a game.
"He sees the floor so well," Hart Coach Tom Kelly said. "He's so quick and fast. And he hasn't scratched the surface yet. I think he's as good as any of them."
LoVett and Holiday are scoring machines at small private schools. Holiday, the brother of Philadelphia 76ers guard Jrue Holiday, scored 48 points Tuesday night in a game against Calabasas Viewpoint. Dorsey has been St. John Bosco's starting point guard, facing the toughest competition in Southern California week after week. He's gaining fans and supporters because of the way he has handled the challenges.
As shooters go, Bishop Montgomery's Thompson will be tough to duplicate. His three-point shooting skills will be much in demand and have helped the Knights to a 26-0 record.
Barefield is another sophomore with explosiveness, poise and confidence.
Combine the sophomore guards with the junior class that includes Jordan McLaughlin of Etiwanda, Parker Jackson-Cartwright of Loyola, Daniel Hamilton of St. John Bosco and Robert Cartwright of Flintridge Prep and you can understand why private jets could be lined up at airports across Southern California over the next two years.
The big question locally will be whether UCLA and USC can keep a few guards from leaving Southern California.

On the Tracks of the Big Five in Angola by Jorge Alves de Lima
LIMITED EDITION OF 1,000 COPIES NUMBERED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR - Purchase at http://www.kirongozi.com/
Jorge Alves de Limas third book, On the Tracks of the Big Five in Angola, takes readers on a grand journey filled with adventure, sport and romance during the second half of the twentieth century. The renowned hunter and author picks up where his previous books left off, telling the story of his years in Angola running the safari company, Kirongozi Angola, his return to Brazil where he hunted the jaguar, and of his subsequent days at his expansive ranch, where he lives with his beloved big cats.
For over forty years, Alves de Lima travelled through some of the worlds harshest and most mysterious landscapes, hunting everything from elephants and rhinos to lions and jaguars. One of the most respected professional hunters of the modern era, Alves de Lima also was an explorer and consummate businessman who introduced people from around the globe to the sport of big game hunting.
In this riveting collection of hunting stories, the author describes in great detail his many trips through the heart of Africa and Brazil in pursuit of the most beautifuland dangerousanimals on the planet. Faced with the perils of wildlife in addition to local conflicts and international politics, life on the hunt was always a challengeand Alves de Lima was ever the man to rise to the occasion.
Accompanied by hundreds of stunning photographs as well as first-hand accounts of his fellow hunters, including such luminaries as Bill Negley, Hugo Seia, Tony Sanchez-Ariño, Óscar Aníbal Piçarra de Castro Cardoso, Alberto de Castilho, Rubens Ribeiro Marx Junior, and Richard Mason, this book takes the reader on a safari of their own, resplendent with all of the trials and the glory of hunting big game. It is a journey of intrigue and of a life well lived and full of daring: the life of a true adventurer.
On the Tracks of the Big Five in Angola was published independently and printed in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, which are numbered and signed by the author.

|Hollins Receives $3 Million Gift for Theatre Renovation
Hollins University is embarking on a comprehensive renovation of its theatre, thanks to a $3 million commitment from the James S. McDonnell Family Foundation.
Hollins' 550-seat proscenium theatre was constructed in 1924 at the height of the "Little Theatre" movement, a trend toward smaller, more intimate theatre that began in response to the advent of motion pictures. (In fact, the facility is still commonly referred to by many alumnae as the "Hollins College Little Theatre.") The New York Drama League called it "the best equipped theatre south of Washington."
Today, the theatre remains an essential part of intellectual, artistic, and student life at the university. Two main stage productions, including one musical, and two studio theatre productions are presented each year for the campus community and the general public. Under the leadership of Associate Professor of Theatre and Department Chair Ernest Zulia, Hollins' theatre program in recent years has staged such ambitious and well-received productions as "Chicago," "Doubt," "Caroline, or Change," and "Into the Woods." Students participate in every aspect of theatre production, including acting, musical theatre, design, directing, technical production, and stage management.

The Golden Opportunity in Southern Europe
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The worst of the Eurozone crisis might be over. The austerity and fiscal correctives imposed in countries like Greece, while unpopular, seem to have stabilized the shaky situation. The European dream, which was threatening to turn into a nightmare given the events of the last few years, looks to have survived. Interestingly, the crises in Europe have paved the way for high net worth non-Europeans to become part of the European dream as well. Investing in property in Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Cyprus in a program popularly referred as the "Golden Visa" can potentially turn around the distressed property sector in these countries.
The Property Glut
Spain alone has between 700,000 to 1 million unsold homes, despite property prices having crashed 50% from peak 2008 levels. With 25% unemployment in Spain, it is unlikely domestic demand will clear this inventory. Portuguese banks, which had repossessed houses in the thousands before the country's 2011 bailout are offering around 10,000 houses on sale at reduced prices. With property investment having declined to just $125 million in 2012, the lowest in the decade, the sector is desperate for a cash infusion.
In Greece, prices of even oceanfront villas have crashed 50%. Between 2002 and 2008 on average 150,000 properties were sold every year. In 2011 only 11,000 were sold, despite a dip in prices. Cyprus acquired the dubious distinction of being the weakest real estate market in the world last year. Home prices there have fallen by around 50%.
"The Euro crisis severely affected property when it was at its peak during the first half of 2012," says Neil Blake, head of EMEA and U.K. Research at CBRE, a leading global real estate firm. "Due to bad debt, banks are no longer willing to lend on residential mortgages on anything other than low LTVs (loan to value ratios)."
While CBRE reports that investment activity has picked up in Southern Europe in 2013, the percentage growth is off a much lower base in 2012.
A Visa Renewal
The response from the four governments, determined to explore every avenue to get their housing markets back on track, has been to embark on the ambitious Golden Visa program. A Golden Visa promises wealthy non-citizens residency in exchange for investments made in real estate in the country.
While plans in Spain and Portugal offer permanent residency for buying a house valued at €500,000 (about $682,100) same as Portugal, Greece has pegged its qualification value at €250,000 (about $341,050). A Golden Visa from Cyprus requires purchasing a house worth €300,000 (about $409,260).
A Golden Visa offers substantial benefits apart from residency. One can travel freely in the 26 Schengen EU countries, and the road to both permanent residency and nationality is made far easier. Countries like Portugal make it very easy for foreigners in terms of the time they are required to physically reside in the country to maintain their status seven days in the first year and 14 in each of the next two years.

A loss would also break the team apart, despite only having three seniors.
"I'm not saying it's just the Strains, I'm saying it's the whole nucleolus of this bunch that's been together since second or third grade," Bobcats coach Larry Strain explained. "I think there was pressure of knowing this could be the last time they got to play together. It was a pretty emotional locker room before we came out on the court to warm up.
"Very rarely do I get nervous or uptight. But, to be honest with you, today I was more nervous and uptight than I've been in a while. I knew this could be the last time this bunch of young ladies would be together completely. I was little anxious about playing the No. 3 team."
Although Woodland guard Leah Strain's nerves caused her to throw up prior to tip-off, the junior played composed once the game started, scoring 14 of Woodland's 18 points to give the Bobcats a seven-point lead after a quarter of play.
"I had a little bit of motivation before the game," Leah Strain said. "Dad usually tries to find us what we call 'blackboard material.' It's what we hear that other teams say about us, so that was brought back to me in the first quarter."
North Sand Mountain's shooting improved in the second quarter, eventually giving the Bison (29-4) a 25-23 lead with 2:56 left in the half. The Bobcats (31-2) and North Sand Mountain went back and forth from there, scoring on a combined nine consecutive possessions during the leading-changing run. The two teams entered the half tied 30-all after Shanna Strain's half-court heave rimmed out.
"We knew that they were a very good 3-point shooting team," Larry Strain said. "We felt like if they shot the threes and knocked down the threes all game long, we were going to come up on the short end of the stick. We gave up some baskets letting them drive, but tried to take the three away from them."
After nearly the entirety of the third quarter stuck to script, a small 5-2 Woodland run at the end of the third gave the Bobcats a 46-40 lead and set the tempo for the fourth. Sparked by Leah and Shalyn Strain, Woodland's small run became a 15-5 run, giving the Bobcats a 13-point lead with 3:36 left.
"I knew they were going to try to stop Leah in some way," Larry Strain said. "They didn't play bulldog man-to-man quite as tough as I thought they would because they held (the ball) a lot more, trying to keep Leah from going to the basketball."
With less than three minutes remaining in the game, the Strain Squad began stepping to the foul line with Amy, Shanna and Shayln Strain all knocking down shots. However, it was ball handling that Larry Strain said won the game for Woodland. The Bobcats only recorded one turnover throughout the game, which Leah admitted was her doing during the postgame press conference.
Leah Strain finished the contest with a game-high 29 points. Shalyn Strain added 13 and Jaide Walker recorded 10. North Sand Mountain was led by Hannah Vest, who scored 19 points, while Keely Ellison added 13 and Cassidy Romans scored 12.
"You could always say (the draw) isn't fair, but you have to play the ballgame anyway," Bison coach Tracy Vest said. "That's just the way the bracket fell, and the two teams fought. We came into this like it was a championship game. They made the plays and we didn't."
Woodland, which has been to the regional tournament 10 times since 1999, will have a chance to advance to Birmingham on Thursday. The Bobcats will play Lanett (18-10), which defeated No. 9 Sand Rock on Monday, 45-39.
"I got to watch Lanett play Horseshoe Bend in the area finals," Larry Strain said. "We played Lanett twice last year during the regular season. We didn't play them this time, but I know a good bit about them.
"In fact, their best player, Miracle Mayo, spent about the whole summer with Leah and me in the truck, traveling all over the Southeast because they played on the same travel team."
The Class 2A girls' regional final is scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
