Cher coming to BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6
Pop superstar Cher is coming back to Milwaukee for the first time in 11 years. The so-called Goddess of Pop will perform at the BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6.
The 67-year-old Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winner is suiting up for the "Dressed to Kill" tour, her first time on the road since an alleged "farewell" tour from 2002 to 2005, which stopped at the Bradley Center twice, on July 13, 2002, and on Aug. 16, 2003. The Milwaukee dates alone grossed $1.6 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard, and the tour was one of the highest-grossing ever by a female solo artist, with north of 600 shows performed in front of nearly 6 million fans, grossing $394 million according to the Guiness Book of World Records. »Read Full Article(17)

Great job from our executives. Earnings estimate below last year same quarter per this article.BBT Corp. (BBT: news, chart) is on deck for earnings of 69 cents per share compared with 72 cents last year.
Jim, if you'll look a few lines down on Yahoo earnings estimates you'll see the full year '03 will be above '02. Check it outFan
Fan,Please tell me that I got the wrong or bad information. I was in a hurry and hope that I just picked up some wrong figures. I'm serious and not just messing with you.What I found was : Estimate of $2.78 a share for 2003 this was off the Yahoo Board02Annual Operating results ofBasic $2.78 a shareDiluted $2.75 a share02 Net IncomeBasic $2.75 a shareDiluted $2.72 a shareI'm serious and hope that this is indeed bad information. Appreciate your posting me back.If this information is anywhere close to correct it explains a lot about the price movement. (There no slam intended as I know we have different goals and different investment styles fit us.)Thanks for your help,Jim
Fan,Just pulled the earning estimates off a news release on line about regional banks and estimated earnings. It shows 2 of the 5 banks listed as lower estimated earnings for the quarter than last year. One of the lower earnings was BBT. It is one of the news listing under BBT on AOL.Thought it was a pick of information that was revelant to the stock. Just looks like a bad quarter to me.Jim
Jim, (and others);double dare you to tune into the earnings conference call Tuesday morning at 10:30 1/13/04 to find out where earnings came from and what is projected and listen to analysts questions and mgt. answers. This should get you there - http://www.bbandt.com/investor/presentations.aspIf this doesn't work go to bbandt.com, then investor relations, then presentations and webcasts and sign in.Fan :>)

"The first thing that jumped out to me is how physically imposing he is, he's the most physically imposing guy on the field. He's not just big, he's well filled out for a high school guy. He's really strong too, especially up top, he's a top heavy guy.
"If you're going to try and tackle him, you better not try to tackle him high because you will just bounce right off him. Guys were being forced to go at him low if they were going to have any chance to bring him down.
"I would say he's built like a power runner but he doesn't run like a power back. He is more of a slasher who is pretty elusive. I was most impressed with his ability to cut back, there were many plays when he would start one way and then cut back and pick up good yardage. He has the quicks to get to the outside when needed but he's not a speed back. He's just quick enough to get to the hole and make guys slide off him. I liked the fact that he didn't just rely on trying to pound the ball.
"His team would rely on him to run the ball down the field and then they would throw into the end zone, the quarterback had eight touchdowns and over 500 yards passing so it's not like Green was the only weapon they had."
USC assistant coach Brennan Carroll was also in attendance at the game to represent the Trojan coaching staff.

This course contains the basics of Quantitative Techniques For ManagementCourse introduction
Network models are possibly still the most important of the special structures in linear programming. Any project involves planning, scheduling and controlling a number of interrelated activities with use of limited resources, namely, men, machines, materials, money and time. The projects may be extremely large and complex such as construction of a power plant, a highway, a shopping complex, ships and aircraft, introduction of new products and research and development projects.
It is required that managers must have a dynamic planning and scheduling system to produce the best possible results and also to react immediately to the changing conditions and make necessary changes in the plan and schedule. A convenient analytical and visual technique of PERT and CPM prove extremely valuable in assisting the managers in managing the projects.
Basically, CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) are project management techniques, which have been created out of the need of Western industrial and military establishments to plan, schedule and control complex projects. Both the techniques use similar terminology and have the same purpose.
This was developed by the US Navy for the planning and control of the Polaris missile program and the emphasis was on completing the program in the shortest possible time. In addition PERT had the ability to cope with uncertain activity completion times.
In PERT activities are shown as a network of precedence relationships using activity-on-arrow network construction
PERT is used in project management for non-repetitive jobs (research and development work), where the time and cost estimates tend to be quite uncertain. This technique uses probabilistic time estimates.
CPM (Critical Path Method) was developed by Du Pont and the emphasis was on the trade-off between the cost of the project and its overall completion time (e.g. for certain activities it may be possible to decrease their completion times by spending more money - how does this affect the overall completion time of the project.
In CPM activities are shown as a network of precedence relationships using activity-on-node network construction
CPM is used in production management for the jobs which are repetitive in nature where the activity time estimates can be predicted with considerable certainty due to the existence of past experience.
Project management generally consists of three phases.
Planning: Planning involves setting the objectives of the project. Identifying various activities to be performed and determining the requirement of resources such as men, materials, machines, etc. The cost and time for all the activities are estimated, and a network diagram is developed showing sequential interrelationships (predecessor and successor) between various activities during the planning stage.
Scheduling: Based on the time estimates, the start and finish times for each activity are worked out by applying forward and backward pass techniques, critical path is identified, along with the slack and float for the non-critical paths.
Controlling: Controlling refers to analyzing and evaluating the actual progress against the plan. Reallocation of resources, crashing and review of projects with periodical reports are carried out.
Far more than the technical benefits, it was found that PERT/CPM provided a focus around which managers could brain-storm and put their ideas together. It proved to be a great communication medium by which thinkers and planners at one level could communicate their ideas, their doubts and fears to another level. Most important, it became a useful tool for evaluating the performance of individuals and teams.
There are many variations of CPM/PERT which have been useful in planning costs, scheduling manpower and machine time.
CPM/PERT can answer the following important questions:
How long will the entire project take to be completed? What are the risks involved?
PERT / CPM networks contain two major components
Activity: An activity represents an action and consumption of resources (time, money, energy) required to complete a portion of a project. Activity is represented by an arrow.
An Activity
Event: An event (or node) will always occur at the beginning and end of an activity. The event has no resources and is represented by a circle. The ith event and jth event are the tail event and head event respectively.
An Event
Merge and Burst Events
One or more activities can start and end simultaneously at an event.
Preceding and Succeeding Activities
Activities performed before given events are known as preceding activities, and activities performed after a given event are known as succeeding activities.
Preceding and Succeeding Activities
Activities A and B precede activities C and D respectively.
Dummy Activity
An imaginary activity which does not consume any resource and time is called a dummy activity. Dummy activities are simply used to represent a connection between events in order to maintain a logic in the network. It is represented by a dotted line in a network, see Figure.
Dummy Activity
a. Two activities starting from a tail event must not have a same end event. To ensure this, it is absolutely necessary to introduce a dummy activity, as shown in Figure.
Correct and Incorrect Activities
b. Looping error should not be formed in a network, as it represents performance
of activities repeatedly in a cyclic manner, as shown below in Figure.
Looping Error
c. In a network, there should be only one start event and one ending event as shown
below, in Figure.
Only One Start and End Event
d. The direction of arrows should flow from left to right avoiding mixing of direction
as shown in Figure.
Wrong Direction of Arrows
Some conventions of network diagram are shown in Figures below:
Some Conventions followed in making Network Diagrams
Step1: Number the start or initial event as 1.
Step2: From event 1, strike off all outgoing activities. This would have made one or more events as initial events (event which do not have incoming activities).
Number that event as 2.
Step3: Repeat step 2 for event 2, event 3 and till the end event. The end event must have the highest number.
Example : Draw a network for a house construction project. The sequence of activities with their predecessors is given in the following table, below.
Sequence of Activities for House Construction Project
Network diagram representing house construction project.
The network diagram in the above figure shows the procedure relationship between the activities. Activity A (preparation of house plan), has a start event 1 as well as an ending event 2. Activity B (Construction of house) begins at event 2 and ends at event 3.
The activity B cannot start until activity A has been completed. Activities C and D cannot begin until activity B has been completed, but they can be performed simultaneously. Similarly, activities E and F can start only after completion of activities C and D respectively. Both activities E and F finish at the end of event 6.
Example : Consider the project given in the following table and construct a network diagram.
Sequence of Activities for Building Construction Project
Solution: The activities C and D have a common predecessor A. The network representation shown in Figure Network representing the Error violates the rule that no two activities can begin and end at the same events. It appears as if activity B is a predecessor of activity C, which is not the case. To construct the network in a logical order, it is necessary to introduce a dummy activity as shown in Figure.
Network representing the Error
Correct representation of Network using Dummy Activity
Example : Construct a network for a project whose activities and their predecessor relationship are given in Table.
Activity Sequence for a Project
Solution: The network diagram for the given problem is shown in Figure with activities A, B and C starting simultaneously.
Network Diagram
Example : Draw a network diagram for a project given in Table.
Project Activity Sequence
Solution: An activity network diagram describing the project is shown in figure below:
Network Diagram
The critical path for any network is the longest path through the entire network. Since all activities must be completed to complete the entire project, the length of the critical path is also the shortest time allowable for completion of the project. Thus if the project is to be completed in that shortest time, all activities on the critical path must be started as soon as possible.
These activities are called critical activities. If the project has to be completed ahead of the schedule, then the time required for at least one of the critical activity must be reduced. Further, any delay in completing the critical activities will increase the project duration.
The activity, which does not lie on the critical path, is called non-critical activity. These non-critical activities may have some slack time. The slack is the amount of time by which the start of an activity may be delayed without affecting the overall completion time of the project. But a critical activity has no slack. To reduce the overall project time, it would require more resources (at extra cost) to reduce the time taken by the critical activities to complete.
Scheduling of Activities: Earliest Time and Latest Time
Before the critical path in a network is determined, it is necessary to find the earliest and latest time of each event to know the earliest expected time (TE) at which the activities originating from the event can be started and to know the latest allowable time (TL) at which activities terminating at the event can be completed.
Forward Pass Computations (to calculate Earliest, Time TE)
Step 1: Begin from the start event and move towards the end event.
Step 2: Put TE = 0 for the start event.
Step 3: Go to the next event (i.e node 2) if there is an incoming activity for event 2, add calculate TE of previous event (i.e event 1) and activity time.
Note: If there are more than one incoming activities, calculate TE for all incoming activities and take the maximum value. This value is the TE for event 2.
Step 4: Repeat the same procedure from step 3 till the end event.
Backward Pass Computations (to calculate Latest Time T Network Model L)
Step 1: Begin from end event and move towards the start event. Assume that the direction of arrows is reversed.
Step 2: Latest Time TL for the last event is the earliest time. TE of the last event.
Step 3: Go to the next event, if there is an incoming activity, subtract the value of TL of previous event from the activity duration time. The arrived value is TL for that event. If there are more than one incoming activities, take the minimum TE value.
Step 4: Repeat the same procedure from step 2 till the start event.DETERMINATION OF FLOAT AND SLACK TIMES
As discussed earlier, the non – critical activities have some slack or float. The float of an activity is the amount of time available by which it is possible to delay its completion time without extending the overall project completion time.
For an activity i = j, let
tij = duration of activity
TE = earliest expected time
TL = latest allowable time
ESij = earliest start time of the activity
EFij = earliest finish time of the activity
LSij = latest start time of the activity
LFij = latest finish time of the activity
Total Float TFij: The total float of an activity is the difference between the latest start
time and the earliest start time of that activity.
TFij = LSij– ESij ....................(1)
TFij = (TL– TE) – tij ....................(2)
Free Float FFij: The time by which the completion of an activity can be delayed from its earliest finish time without affecting the earliest start time of the succeeding activity is called free float.
FFij = (Ej– Ei) – tij ....................(3)
FFij = Total float – Head event slack
Independent Float IFij: The amount of time by which the start of an activity can be delayed without affecting the earliest start time of any immediately following activities, assuming that the preceding activity has finished at its latest finish time.
IFij = (Ej– Li) – tij ....................(4)
IFij = Free float – Tail event slack
Where tail event slack = Li– Ei
The negative value of independent float is considered to be zero.
Critical Path: After determining the earliest and the latest scheduled times for various activities, the minimum time required to complete the project is calculated. In a network, among various paths, the longest path which determines the total time duration of the project is called the critical path. The following conditions must be satisfied in locating the critical path of a network.
An activity is said to be critical only if both the conditions are satisfied.
2. TLj– tij– TEj = 0
Example : A project schedule has the following characteristics as shown in the table
Project Schedule
i. Construct PERT network.
ii. Compute TE and TL for each activity.
iii. Find the critical path.
(i) From the data given in the problem, the activity network is constructed as shown in the following figure.
Activity Network Diagram
(ii) To determine the critical path, compute the earliest, time T Network Model E and latest time TL for each of the activity of the project. The calculations of TE and TL are as follows:
To calculate TEfor all activities,
TE2 = TE1 + t1, 2 = 0 + 4 = 4
TE3 = TE1 + t1, 3 = 0 + 1 =1
TE4 = max (TE2 + t2, 4 and TE3 + t3, 4)
= max (4 + 1 and 1 + 1) = max (5, 2)
= 5 days
TE5 = TE3 + t 3, 6 = 1 + 6 = 7
TE6 = TE5 + t 5, 6 = 7 + 4 = 11
TE7 = TE5 + t5, 7 = 7 + 8 = 15
TE8 = max (TE6 + t 6, 8 and TE7 + t7, 8)
= max (11 + 1 and 15 + 2) = max (12, 17)
= 17 days
TE9 = TE4 + t4, 9 = 5 + 5 = 10
TE10 = max (TE9 + t9, 10 and TE8 + t8, 10)
= max (10 + 7 and 17 + 5) = max (17, 22)
= 22 days
To calculate TL for all activities
TL9 = TE10– t9,10 = 22 – 7 = 15
TL8 = TE10– t 8, 10 = 22 – 5 = 17
TL7 = TE8– t 7, 8 = 17 – 2 = 15
TL6 = TE8– t 6, 8 = 17 – 1 = 16
TL5 = min (TE6– t5, 6 and TE7– t5, 7)
= min (16 – 4 and 15 –8) = min (12, 7)
= 7 days
TL4 = TL9 – t 4, 9 = 15 – 5 =10
TL3 = min (TL4 – t3, 4 and TL55– t 3, 5)
= min (10 – 1 and 7 – 6) = min (9, 1)
= 1 day
TL2 = TL4– t2, 4 = 10 – 1 = 9
TL1 = Min (TL2– t1, 2 and TL3– t1, 3)
= Min (9 – 4 and 1 – 1) = 0
Various Activities and their Floats
(iii) From the table, we observe that the activities 1 – 3, 3 – 5, 5 – 7,7 – 8 and 8 – 10 are critical activities as their floats are zero.
Critical Path of the Project
The critical path is 1-3-5-7-8-10 (shown in double line in the above figure) with the project duration of 22 days.SOLVING CPM PROBLEMS USING COMPUTER

Activity Network Diagram
The critical path is a – c – f – h– j and the minimum time for the completion of the project is 42 weeks.PROJECT EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE, PERT
In the critical path method, the time estimates are assumed to be known with certainty. In certain projects like research and development, new product introductions, it is difficult to estimate the time of various activities. Hence PERT is used in such projects with a probabilistic method using three time estimates for an activity, rather than a single estimate, as shown in Figure.
PERT Using Probabilistic Method with 3 Time Estimates
Optimistic time tO:
It is the shortest time taken to complete the activity. It means that if everything goes well then there is more chance of completing the activity within this time.
Most likely time tm:
It is the normal time taken to complete an activity, if the activity were frequently repeated under the same conditions.
Pessimistic time tp:
It is the longest time that an activity would take to complete. It is the worst time estimate that an activity would take if unexpected problems are faced.
Taking all these time estimates into consideration, the expected time of an activity is arrived at.
The average or mean (ta) value of the activity duration is given by,
Ta= t0+4tm+tp/6 .....................(5)
The variance of the activity time is calculated using the formula,
Ta= t0+4tm+tp/6 ...................(6)
Probability for Project Duration
The probability of completing the project within the scheduled time (Ts) or contracted time may be obtained by using the standard normal deviate where Te is the expected
time of project completion.
Probability of completing the project within the scheduled time is,
P (T≤ Ts) = P ( Z≤ Z0 ) (from normal tables) .................(8)
Example : An R & D project has a list of tasks to be performed whose time estimates
are given in the table, as follows.
Time expected for each activity is calculated using the formula (5):
Ta= t0+4tm+tp/6
= 4+4(6)+8/6 = 36/6 = 6 days for activity A
Similarly, the expected time is calculated for all the activities. The variance of activity time is calculated using the formula (6).
Similarly, variances of all the activities are calculated. Construct a network diagram and calculate the time earliest, TE and time Latest TL for all the activities.
Network Diagram
Time Estimates for R & D Project
Calculate the time average ta and variances of each activity as shown in the following table.
Te & s2 Calculated
From the network diagram Figure, the critical path is identified as 1-4, 4-6, 6-7, with project duration of 22 days. The probability of completing the project within 19 days is given by,
Thus, the probability of completing the R & D project in 19 days is 9.01%. Since the probability of completing the project in 19 days is less than 20%, we find the probability of completing it in 24 days.
Example is solved using computer with TORA. Go to MAIN MENU, SELECT PROJECT PLANNING and Click PERT – Program Evaluation Review Technique.

TORA (Output Screen), Select PERT Calculations.
Selecting the PERT calculations option. The following screen appears. This shows the average duration and standard deviation for the activities.
TORA (Output Screen) Showing Average Durations and Standard Deviation for Activities
The two important components of any activity are the cost and time. Cost is directly proportional to time and vice versa. For example, in constructing a shopping complex, the expected time of completion can be calculated using be time estimates of various activities. But if the construction has to the finished earlier, it requires additional cost to complete the project. We need to arrive at a time / cost trade-off between total cost of project and total time required to complete it.
Normal time: Normal time is the time required to complete the activity at normal conditions and cost.
Crash time: Crash time is the shortest possible activity time; crashing more than the normal time will increase the direct cost.
Cost Slope
Cost slope is the increase in cost per unit of time saved by crashing. A linear cost curve is shown in Figure.
Linear Cost Curve
Cost slope=Crash cost Cc– Normal cost Nc/Normal time Ntt
Example : An activity takes 4 days to complete at a normal cost of Rs. 500.00. If it is possible to complete the activity in 2 days with an additional cost of Rs. 700.00, what is the incremental cost of the activity?
Incremental Cost or Cost Slope = Cc– Nc / Ntt
= 700-500/4-2 = Rs. 100.00
It means if one day is reduced we have to spend Rs. 100/- extra per day.
Project Crashing
Procedure for crashing
Step1: Draw the network diagram and mark the Normal time and Crash time.
Step2: Calculate TE and TL for all the activities.
Step3: Find the critical path and other paths.
Step 4: Find the slope for all activities and rank them in ascending order.
Step 5: Establish a tabular column with required field.
Step 6: Select the lowest ranked activity; check whether it is a critical activity. If so, crash the activity, else go to the next highest ranked activity.
Note: The critical path must remain critical while crashing.
Step 7: Calculate the total cost of project for each crashing.
Step 8: Repeat Step 6 until all the activities in the critical path are fully crashed.
Example: The following Table 8.13 gives the activities of a construction project and other data.
Construction Project Data
If the indirect cost is Rs. 20 per day, crash the activities to find the minimum duration of the project and the project cost associated.
Solution: From the data provided in the table, draw the network diagram and find the critical path.
Network Diagram
From the diagram, we observe that the critical path is 1-2-5 with project duration of 14 days The cost slope for all activities and their rank is calculated as shown in table below
Cost slope=Crash cost Cc– Normal cost Nc/Normal time Ntt
Cost Slope for activity 1– 2 = 80 – 50/6 – 4 = 30/2 = 15.
Cost Slope and Rank Calculated
The available paths of the network are listed down in Table indicating the sequence of crashing.
Sequence of Crashing
Network Diagram Indicating Sequence of Crashing
The sequence of crashing and the total cost involved is given in the following table
Initial direct cost = sum of all normal costs given
= Rs. 490.00
Sequence of Crashing & Total Cost
It is not possible to crash more than 10 days, as all the activities in the critical path are fully crashed. Hence the minimum project duration is 10 days with the total cost of Rs. 970.00.ADVANTAGES OF NETWORK MODELS
Network models have three main advantages over linear programming:
Of course these advantages come with a drawback: network models cannot formulate the wide range of models that linear and integer programs can. However, they occur often enough that they form an important tool for real decision making.


text: The construction of the Norris Project incurred 16,977,720 man hours of labor. During the construction 8 men lost thier lives, and 962 suffered injuries. The project relocated 2,899 families and caused the removal of 5,226 gravesites. Some of the materials used to build the dam are 1,002,300 cubic yards of concrete, and 225,889 bags of grouting for the foundation. Norris has the largest flood control storage of any TVA dam on a tributary of the Tennessee - at normal maximum pool the reservoir holds 2,040,000 acre feet of water. Norris' two hydroelectric generators turned out the first TVA electric power in the eastern end of the Tennessee Valley and the transmission line from Norris to the Wilson dam provided the first elements of the distribution system that later spread through most of the valley and beyond.

High-Tech Employment And State Economic Development Policies
States have attempted to attract industries by offering a variety of tax incentives and economic development programs with mixed success. States have recently begun to focus on high-tech industries, where average wages are significantly above the all industry average. This study analyzes whether a state's tax and expenditure mix can influence high-tech industry location. Empirically, this study advances previous high-tech research by carefully modelling the government budget constraint and by considering more recent data. One emphasis will be whether rural states are inherently unable to attract high-tech industry and its high-paying jobs. In general, the empirical results suggest that a state's fiscal policies can attract high-tech fums, but states must proceed very cautiously. Furthermore, rural states are not dealt out of the high-tech game.

A little bit about a lot from the desk of AGN Media
Director of Commentary Dave Henry
■ Biting down: I'm trying to think of another professional sport — especially a sport on its grandest stage (the World Cup) — that would tolerate a player biting an opponent. This week, a Uruguayan soccer (or football, whatever) player bit an opponent during the World Cup and got a four-month suspension. I know, there is precedent — Mike Tyson. However, "Iron" Mike chomped on an opponent once, as far as we know. Our aforementioned toothy soccer biter has been disciplined for this garbage twice, meaning this is at least the third time he has chomped an opponent. Biting (even of the fake variety) is rarely seen in pro rasslin' — probably because it is not creative enough for the script.
■ Name that tune: Best tweet I saw about Phil Collins donating his reportedly massive collection of Alamo artifacts to the Texas General Land Office: "Are you su-su-serious?? —
@TheUnDaniel." If you were alive in the 1980s, you get it. If you weren't, you probably don't. Congrats to Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson — who would have made a good lieutenant governor — for the genesis of this donation. Sorry, couldn't resist.
■ Who's had their fill of the filibuster?: What Democratic gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Wendy Davis brings to the table — primarily — is the notoriety behind her marathon filibuster in the Texas Legislature last year against an abortion bill. If this is not Davis' signature accomplishment, why the big deal about the one-year anniversary of her talk-a-thon, which was this Wednesday. Davis tweeted and blogged about the anniversary on her website, writing about the pivotal decision to grab her pink running shoes before heading to the Senate floor. There was also a plea to "sign up now to show your support on the anniversary of the filibuster."
■ Interesting phone call of the week: Got a call from an individual insisting I run a letter to the editor — unedited. Sorry, can't do it. The caller mentioned freedom of speech, which is common. Freedom of speech does not apply to a person's perceived right to have a letter or story published. As the lady says in the car insurance commercial, "That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works."

Confirmed guest, 2016-09-09
We have stayed at the new Kilcot Elite Spa since it was built a couple of years ago. Before that we stayed in Kilcot Lodge. We have stayed at Ford Farm Lodges since the year 2000 and come every year. We have already booked for next year (2017). Needless to say we love it there and always look forward to our two weeks of heaven. The surrounding area is beautiful. What more could you ask for?

Reviews for Provera to treat Birth Control
"Love it! It eliminated my periods for 3 months and I clocked in regularly every 3 months, something that never happened in my life. I would have stayed on it if it wasn't that I needed a pill with estrogens. I had no side effect at all."

Here I am, back on the single parent board after yet another failed relationship. In a way, I feel like a chronic alcoholic who just can't get this relationship stuff right. Actually this one died a couple of years ago and we've been sticking it out to see if there's any life left at all, but really there is no pulse. You would think that hearing the words "I care about you and I want to form a family" would warm my heart, but it's all just words. What's behind that is incessant criticism, arguments, selfishness, suffocating control... We tried everything and the patterns just keep repeating. I don't think I've ever felt so much nothing for a person before. I keep thinking I will feel a glimmer of something again and I just don't. So we can keep kicking the body to see if there's any life left in it, but really what we need to do is bury it and move on. So I'm back. Nice to see some familiar faces on the new board.
My name is Gabrielle and I'm a single parent...

I can't seem to get the relationship thing right either. Thought my DD's father would be "the one". But ummmm...NO. He's a good father but a lousy boyfriend.
is incessant criticism, arguments, selfishness, suffocating control
OMG that sounds familiar. You are right, words are cheap. Good for you for being strong because being alone is way better than feeling alone when you shouldn't be.
I know what you mean about the failed relationship thing. I'm really trying to change those things about myself that are allowing me to make bad choices. I'll be 40 in July and want off that ride!!!

Firefly Cloakby Sheri Reynolds
This housecoat, painted with tiny fireflies, becomes totemic for Tessa Lee, providing a connection to her past and to the beautiful mother she lost. Seven years later, when word arrives that her mother has been spotted working at a tourist trap on a seaside boardwalk not far from where Tessa Lee lives, she sets off on a dangerous journey to try to recover what has been taken from her. Steeped in the rich Southern atmosphere for which Sheri Reynolds has long been hailed, Firefly Cloak is a vivid coming-of-age novel of family, loss, and redemption.
A Gracious Plentyby Sheri Reynolds
Badly burned in a household accident when she was a child, Finch Nobles grows into a courageous and feisty loner who eschews the pity of her hometown and discovers that she can hear the voices of the people buried in her father's cemetery. Finally, when she speaks to them, they answer, telling their stories in a remarkable chorus of regrets, expla-nations, and insights. A Gracious Plenty is like an extraordinary amalgam of Steinbeck and Faulkner, Spoon River Anthology and Our Town. It is a reading experience that you will not soon forget.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Rapture of Canaanby Sheri Reynolds
A young girl, living within an extreme religious group, finds her own salvation, after she falls off of the path of righteousness.
Rapture of Canaanby Sheri Reynolds
At the Church of Fire and Brimstone and Gods Almighty Baptizing Wind, Grandpa Herman makes the rules for everyone, and everyone obeys, or else. Try as she might, Ninah hasn't succeeded in resisting temptation her prayer partner, James and finds herself pregnant. She fears the wrath of Grandpa Herman, the congregation and of God Himself. But the events that follow show Ninah that Gods ways are more mysterious than even Grandpa Herman understands.
The Sweet In-Betweenby Sheri Reynolds
"[WithThe Sweet In-Between,] bestseller Reynolds delivers again . . . Simple prose rich with subtext, convincing dialogue, and a fascinating protagonist combine to produce a heartstring-plucker that's explicit, tender, sad, and hopeful. " --Publishers Weekly(starred review) Kendra, or "Kenny," has grown up in a family that's not really hers. Her momma died of cancer when Kenny was very young, and "Aunt" Glo is, in fact, her daddy's girlfriend, who took her in when her father was sent to jail for drug trafficking. Nearing eighteen years old and facing confusion over her sexuality, Kenny binds her chest with ACE bandages and keeps her hair cropped short like a boy's. Her gender ambiguity makes her an outcast at school and, even at times, at home, where her adopted family isn't really sure what to make of her. When a senseless murder occurs in their run-down coastal town--a college student mistakenly entering the wrong home is killed--Kenny becomes obsessed with thoughts of the dead girl and with her own fears that she will be alone in the world when she turns eighteen. She makes it her mission to become indispensable to Aunt Glo in the hopes that she can win the older woman's love, despite their not being bound by blood. A lyrical tale of a family of misfits in a town that's seen its best days come and go,The Sweet In-Betweenis also a poignant story of an unforgettable character's coming-of-age. From the Hardcover edition.

Orlando Salido To Defend The Title on July 21 or July 28
By Rey Colon
Mexico's Orlando Salido is ready to make the third defense of the title he snatched last April from then unbeaten Juan Manuel Lopez. Salido (38-11-2, 26 KO's) is currently in the process of a three-day promotional tour that includes visits to several different sports programs in Mexico and in the city of Miami, Florida.
"I will return to defend the title on the 21st or 28th of July. I don't know the opponent yet, but those are the tentative dates that they have for me. And it will be in Mexico. I want to continue at 126 pounds. I want to unify. There are good options out there for me and if all goes well, I will go up to 130-pounds afterwards," Salido said.
Mikey Garcia will probably fight Celestino Caballero. Salido should fight Rafael Marquez in July, then either Garcia/Caballero or Gonzalez/Rojas late in the year.Comment by Carlos Alberto on 03-31-2012

For a rental within walking distance of Seville's historic sights check out HomeAway's range of holiday homes in San Pablo Santa Justa. The location is also ideal for transport, with both the airport and Seville's main train station effortlessly close. Compact and decorated with taste, apartments in San Pablo Santa Justa are ideal for couples. Original features have been carefully preserved here, but placed in harmony with modern appliances and comforts like A/C. Most Pablo Santa Justa apartments have terraces, many of which take in lovely views of buildings like La Giralda.
-Heritage: Seville's architectural heritage is breathtaking, with a number of the most important structures UNESCO listed. Unmissable are the gigantic cathedral and neighbouring Giralda bell tower, both of which were adapted from Moorish structures after the Reconquista. Also essential is the Real Alcázar, built by a Spanish king in the 14th century, but again inspired by Moorish architecture.
-Events: One of the most striking scenes in Spanish culture is that of hooded penitents on procession in the week leading up to Easter. The narrow streets and courtyards of Seville become especially atmospheric in this period, and the solemn processions involve thousands of people. Contrasting this sombre occasion is the jolly Feria de Abril that follows soon after, with flamenco dance, guitars and a large fair next to the Guadalquivir River.
-Culture: Seville was at the heart of one of Spain's most important artistic movements in the 15th and 16th centuries. At the Museum of Fine Arts there's an incredible array of Sevilian Baroque paintings, as well as works by important Flemish artists from the same time. Also well worth seeing is the Archaeology Museum, which has large exhibits covering the Roman and pre-Roman Tartessian eras.
-Excursions: After seeing the best of Seville's culture, it's well worth setting off to admire the natural beauty surrounding the city. The Sierra de Aracena is northwest of Seville and the traditional home of Spanish cured ham. In the other direction are the wild Atlantic beaches of the Costa de la Luz and cities like Xerez, home of the fortified wine, sherry.
-Cuisine: Some of the hallmarks of Spanish gastronomy originated in the Seville province. There's gazpacho, the tomato soup served at room temperature and particularly satisfying in the summer. Tapas is also a speciality, and many of the best places are in or close to San Pablo Santa Justa. Be sure to try perennial favourites like patatas bravas, manchego cheese, potato omelette and fried squid.
San Pablo Santa Justa holiday homes are in one of Spain's hottest cities. Summers last for six months, bringing highs that get up to 35°C or more in July and August. Even as early as April it's common to see temperatures reaching 24°C, which is the equivalent of a warm summer's day in the UK. Rainfall is also infrequent in Seville, and tends to be restricted to the period between October and April. When it comes to temperatures, winters are very mild, with highs of 17°C in December.
Holiday rentals in San Pablo Santa Justa have a very handy location. The city's airport, Seville-San Pablo (SVQ) is mere minutes away by car to the east. As a mid-sized airport, Seville receives mostly low fares traffic from the UK and there's a good range of routes during the summer. By car, simply take the A-4 and then Avenida de Kansas City after landing. Also in the neighbourhood is Sevilla Santa Justa train station, which has high-speed links to Madrid on the AVE line for a journey that takes no more than 2.5 hours.

Rosemary's Baby
A film by Roman Polanski starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon
Farrow plays a pregnant woman who fears that her husband may have made a pact with their eccentric neighbors, believing he may have promised them the child to be used as a human sacrifice in their occult rituals in exchange for success in his acting career.
A young couple move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life. A 45th Anniversary restored version of the classic film.
The Wicker Man - Final Cut
A film by Robin Hardy starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento
Brand new 2K restoration for the 40th Anniversary!
Starring Edward Woodward (Breaker Morant), horror film legend Christopher Lee, stalwart Hammer vampiress Ingrid Pitt, and Swedish blonde bombshell/Bond Girl Britt Ekland (The Man with the Golden Gun, Get Carter), The Wicker Man is regarded as a quintessential psychological thriller, with the search for its integral version one of cinema history's great detective hunts.
The Wicker Man has been seen for decades in mutilated versions, but now we're proud to present The Wicker Man – The Final Cut, a new restoration for the cult classic's 40th anniversary!
After receiving an anonymous letter about a missing 12-year-old girl, devout Christian and dedicated cop Woodward travels by seaplane to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But the islanders welcome neither his badge nor religious devotion, for laird of the isle Lee and his devoted followers worship only the pagan gods of old – and those gods demand a sacrifice.
Woodward fears for the missing girl's life and follows every possible lead to find her – despite the islanders' interfering machinations – before she becomes a human sacrificial lamb.
Friday the 13th
A film by Sean S. Cunningham starring Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Jeannine Taylor
Twenty years after several mysterious deaths shut it down, Camp Crystal Lake reopens — but the place clearly hasn't shaken its "death curse," as a deranged killer terrorizes the teen counselors in this original version of the classic slasher flick. Gruesome makeup and effects by Tom Savini, a nubile cast (including a young Kevin Bacon) and an iconic villain make this horror film a genre-defining classic for the ages.
A film by David Lynch starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph
Auteur David Lynch sets this early effort in an industrial wasteland of a town, where young factory worker Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) dwells alongside grotesque characters and bizarre creatures — not the least of which is his own child. Henry's girlfriend, Mary X (Charlotte Stewart), announces that she's expecting, but the real surprise comes when she gives birth to a deformed, squalling aberration — and leaves the mutant in Henry's care. Brand-new 35mm print!!

EGM Live*: Metal Gear, Nintendo and NPD
Bringing back the ol' MGS4 on Xbox 360 rumor.
Halo 3? The editors of Electronic Gaming Monthly are so over that. OK, maybe not, but we don't talk about the beta this week. Instead, we briefly open an old can of snakes and talk some Metal Gear, touching on both the problems with MGS2 and the possibilities of MGS4 hitting this year and coming to Xbox 360.
Oh, and do you like numbers? Well, we talk NPD sales numbers, too. All this, plus a new Question of the Week. Dollar for dollar, the best deal in podcasts.
Also on tap are some Nintendo announcements, including our take on the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 3 and why Bryan thinks Metroid Prime 2 is the series' best, much to Shane's chagrin. In this week's releases, we run the gamut from the surprising Odin Sphere to the disappointing Dawn of Mana to the Johnny Depp-less Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Oh, and do you like numbers? Well, we talk NPD sales numbers, too. All this, plus a new Question of the Week. Dollar for dollar, the best deal in podcasts.

MGS4Posted: May 24, 2007 12:00AM PST by airforcexy
I honestly don't think of MGS4 as a system seller. What made me one to get a PS2 was the # of games; not all were excellent, but you had MANY to choose from. I think Wikipedia has the numbers of games that have sold the most etc. Also, I most wonder if gameplay has changed at all. After GoW, GRAW, etc. and their realism, I wonder how fun it is to hide in a cardboard box. PS3 owners have R6V and GRAW2 to look foward to. MGS4 and Halo3 are just hype.
Maybe I shouldn't say this..Posted: May 21, 2007 12:00AM PST by Netik09
I really hope MGS4 doesn't hit the Xbox 360. It sound crazy I know, especially since I don't own a PS3. But I really am looking for a reason to buy a Playstation 3 and I can't find one. Yeah, Home is cool and so is little Big Planet, but I need more than that in order to justify a $600 wallet burn. So with all these cool games hitting just one system, how am I ever going to get a PS3?

A community rally will be held Saturday afternoon in the hopes of saving the Negro Community Centre in Little Burgundy.
After years of neglect, the ageing building' wall crumbled last month, leading to the NCC declaring bankruptcy.
The 124-year-old building's ultimate fate is still unknown, but the rally's organizers say they want the city to stop and think for a minute before they demolish it.
The rally itself is being billed as both a celebration of the NCC's 100-year history and a call for a moratorium on any demolition plans.
Michael Farkas of Little Burgundy community group Youth in Motion is one of the organizers. He says it would be a mistake to write off the NCC completely.
"It's never too late," he says. "That's what we're saying. There are many new residents, there's a new generation of kids and that's for whom we're really doing this. We want a voice at the table and we'll see what happens."
Farkas says the South-west borough has been receptive to requests for dialogue, and Montreal mayor Denis Coderre said earlier this week that he did hope to meet with stakeholders and come to some sort of arrangement soon.
He hopes that the NCC does not disappear from the map - and the community's collective memory - forever. But he is realistic about its future.
"A cultural or community centre would be great, something modernized, and at the same time we recognize that the game has gone into the hands of trustees," he says.
The rally takes place at 3 pm at Oscar Peterson park in Little Burgundy

Amsterdam – 22 October 2013
- HomeGrid Forum awards HomePNA certification to three new Sagemcom products
- Sagemcom's new residential gateways add to HomeGrid's growing certified HomePNA product list
HomeGrid Forum today announced that it has awarded HomePNA certification to three new Sagemcom products that have passed HomeGrid's stringent HomePNA certification testing.
The addition of these new products to the increasing list of certified HomePNA systems follows Sagemcom's first HomePNA Residential Gateway earlier this year.
"We believe that HomeGrid's certification is a mark of distinction. Integrating certified HomePNA into our products enables service providers to deliver a highly reliable in-home backbone for extending and enhancing existing Wi-Fi® networks and providing the Quality of Experience that consumers have come to expect. With a HomePNA-based network, consumers can move an ever-expanding range of media content around the home quickly and easily," said Ahmed Selmani, Deputy CEO of Sagemcom Broadband.
John Egan, President of the HomeGrid Forum said: "Sagemcom continues to expand its range of certified HomePNA products to meet market demand, providing both consumers and service providers with a solid and high quality range of HomePNA products. The level of ongoing commitment to HomePNA technology, demonstrated by Sagemcom and many others, ensures a continuous flow of new, quality products to the market. Sagemcom's continued commitment to HomePNA technology underscores the importance of HomeGrid's certification program for HomePNA devices as well as the strength of the technology for service providers."

UNESCO publications focus on quality of Brazilian media
UNESCO's Brasilia Office has launched four publications in the Communication and Information Debates series. The output of a study developed in cooperation with the Brazilian National Net of Press Observatories (Renoi), the four titles stress the need for quality indicators for Brazilian media companies.
"Defining quality indicators for journalism is a way to strengthen democratic functions of the media," states Rogério Christofoletti, one of the authors of the series. The four new publications offer the matter for a substantial discussion on self-regulation of the Brazilian media. Launched simultaneously to facilitate the debate on the subject, they aim to draw an overview of how Brazilian newspapers and magazines are facing market challenges and the growing demand of the public.
The interviews conducted in the framework of the study, Indicators of Quality in Journalistic Information, demonstrate that the topic of quality is one of the main concerns of Brazilian media companies. Big publishing groups in search of new public are repositioning themselves and adding intangible values to their portfolio.
Twenty two managers from national and regional media groups were interviewed on indicators and editorial quality policies in their companies. They agreed that ethics are the way towards a better quality and that financial independence is a requisite for the editorial one. But there was not convergence in opinions regarding the rules and patterns to follow.
The views of journalists themselves were also taken into account by the study. Nearly 275 journalists completed the electronic form, based on UNESCO's Media Development Indicators. The results showed that journalists who participated in the research are very much concerned with the importance of quality criteria.
According to the researchers, the definition of "quality indicators" inserted in a management system can help journalistic organizations and also the groups that monitor them to better identify the desired qualitative attributes, as well as deficiencies that must be avoided in the journalistic service. The challenge of quality in journalism can be articulated in two dimensions: the existence of a social, cultural, political and economic environment for quality; and the existence of committed organizations that develop enough know-how to attain performance standards. These standards, called "quality standards", must be defined publicly.
The quality indicators matrix proposed in the study is supported by journalism theories, UNESCO's Media Development Indicators and standard rules acknowledged by the Brazilian National Foundation for Quality. They include aspects like management responsibility and organizational leadership, strategy and planning, resources management, rating, analysis, and improvement of results. According to the researcher Luiz Egypto Cerqueira, this matrix is intended to be an initial step towards the construction of a broader tool of quality indicators.
