text: GW sends four into state wrestling quarterfinals By Doug Smock February 21, 2013 Story Share HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - George Washington got off to a quick start Thursday, the first day of the state wrestling tournament, in more ways than one.The Patriots advanced four wrestlers into the quarterfinals, tops among Kanawha Valley teams. One of them, Sam Moore, pretty much beat the event's start time in the process.The 106-pound weight class wrestles first, as always, so those athletes wrestle at the scheduled 6:30 p.m. on day one - or so GW coach Richard Harper thought.The ultra-efficient folks who run the state tournament at Big Sandy Superstore Arena were so good, they started 9 minutes early. Right after the national anthem stopped echoing, the whistles started and the first four matches in each class hit the mats.Well, make that the first three in Class AAA.As a late call for the "late" wrestler echoed throughout the building, Moore had to make a mad dash down a concourse to make his match. He did so, and went on to defeat Point Pleasant's Caleb Leslie in an 8-3 decision."We decided to keep our guys back there [in a hallway away from the arena], keep them from the hoopla, watching the kids get beat, crying," Harper said. "These coaches want to try to keep these kids away from that a little bit. "Two, it started at 6:20 instead of 6:30. So I'm like, 'What the heck's going on here?' I'm looking at my watch and it's 6:25 and they're doing second call on my kid. Luckily he came out there and it worked out fine. I was going to have to raise a little cain about it; I didn't want to do that."With that quick start, Harper had three others win their first-round matches Thursday. Jensen Lorea scored a 9-1 major decision over Adam Whitmore of Cabell Midland, Jake Smith pinned Preston's Brandon Poling at 160 and Jack Skidmore won 7-0 over Anthony Carter of Hedgesville.Smith improved to 38-0."We were expected to win those matches and they did what they were supposed to," Harper said. "But it gets tougher tomorrow." As action resumes this morning, Skidmore and Nitro's David Smith will face off in the quarterfinals. Lorea is on a collision course with Winfield's Bryce Humphreys, with both needing to win their next match to meet in the semifinals - Lorea against Parkersburg South's Kyle Knotts and Humphreys against University's Isaiah Hood.Winfield pushed through three to the quarterfinals. Joining Humphreys is Jimmy Clark at 160 and Isaac Reed at 145. Reed was one of the quickest off the mat, pinning Woodrow Wilson's Cody Van Dyke in 24 seconds.Joining David Smith from Nitro is Hunter Skeens, who pinned Greenbrier East's Levi Nelson at 220. Other Class AAA winners from the Kanawha Valley were Jeremy Francis of Hurricane, who won a 4-2 decision over John Marshall's Cody Boles at 152, and Pat Vance of Capital, who won 11-5 over Jefferson's A.J. Pierson.In Class AA-A, Herbert Hoover's Zane Weese remained undefeated in 46 matches, pinning Independence's Jacob Shrewsbury. Buffalo had two winners, getting a big boost by Ryan White's 3-2 win over 32-5 Cody Loudermilk of Greenbrier West at 220. Kyle Frazier won by pin at 195. Kanawha Valley wrestlers went 14-20 for the evening. Those losing and thus falling into the consolation brackets were:Winfield: Chris Cochran at 113; Zach Richardson at 182;Hurricane: Sky Steadman at 120;Chantz Rankin at 132; Zach Cooper at 160; Mitchell Fitzgerald at 285.GW: David Pancake at 120;Riverside: Green at 126, Vince Hunt at 132; Justin Burke at 160; Chase Hanshaw at 195;Capital: Desean Reed at 145; Tyler Burke at 285;South Charleston: Fred Crosier at 152;Nitro: Ryan Walters at 195;Herbert Hoover: Camren Duncan at 113, Justin Duncan at 120, Brady Dye at 182; Richard Woods at 285.Sissonville: Nick Lane at 145.Favored Huntington and Parkersburg are tied for first in AAA with 34 points, with four-time defending champion Parkersburg South next at 33 and Washington fourth with 31. All four teams had nine winners, though the Highlanders missed on a 10th when Toney Kitts lost in overtime in the night's last match.Point Pleasant, the AA-A champion the previous three years, is fifth with 27, with eight winning.In a wide-open AA, Wirt County leads with 28 points, with eight Tigers winning matches. Independence and Clay County are second with 241/2, with North Marion and Greenbrier West at 24 and East Fairmont at 22.Matches continue at 11:30 a.m. today, with quarterfinals and the first two rounds of the consolation brackets. The third session begins at 7:30, featuring the semifinals and the third-round consolation matches.The consolation brackets play out in the early session Saturday, at 10:45 a.m., with championship matches beginning at 6 p.m. that day.

All my bridesmaids wore a different color, and all of the groomsmen (after much bribing) wore a different color to match the girls in a pastel shade. I wore glitter heels from Kate Spade, and had purple hair. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10045294@N03/10122499624 We had lots of DIY projects including the inexpensive (but time-consuming!) backdrop made from streamers that provided a colorful background for a lot of photos. I also love to bake, and put rainbow sprinkles on everything that I possibly could. Tell us about the ceremony: We had a short ceremony, mainly because we had the wedding outside and we knew it would be hot. We had a sand ceremony with sand from the beach in Hawaii where Rob proposed. I love glitter, so we ended up mixing the sand from the beach with rainbow glitter instead of two different colored sands. The sunlight hitting the glitter was beautiful! My favorite moment: The most meaningful part of the wedding was being surrounded by both of our families and the people we love while walking down the aisle to the man with whom I will be spending the rest of my life. It truly was an amazing feeling.

Why Everyone Should Watch "Silver Linings Playbook"
I'm sick of inspirational movies about people with problems. There. I said it. And for all the hate I might receive for that, it's true that over the past few years Hollywood has seen a lot of films that adapt and emulate the "Cuckoo's Nest" dynamic. Granted, formula is formula, but ultimately it's the journey that's the destination, and Silver Linings Playbook gets there in an unconventional way.
Based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick and adapted for the screen by David O. Russell, the film revolves around former teacher Pat Solitano's (played by Bradley Cooper) return home after a stint in a mental institution. Separated from his wife and living with his parents (played by Jacki Weaver and Robert DeNiro), he is attempting to repair his marriage when he meets Tiffany (played by Jennifer Lawrence), a girl with problems of her own. They discover that they both have something to offer the other in order to help each other get back on their feet. Between therapy, dancing, and the Philadelphia Eagles, they find the silver linings in their lives.
The matter-of-fact manner in which the film handles the subject of mood disorders is probably the most refreshing aspect of it. Pat and Tiffany's absurdly straightforward willingness to address their issues is a stark contrast to the hushed silences and soulful, tormented dialogue we usually expect from films that feature such subject matter. In fact, it's almost satirical in its commentary. Even Pat's therapist (played by Bollywood actor Anupam Kher) is unabashedly direct in his sessions with him.
More than anything else, it's the characters that are the vehicles for the theme, as opposed to something they channel their problems through such as singing, writing, or dancing (granted, they do dance, but the plot doesn't revolve around it). Bradley Cooper's performance as belligerently sensitive Pat strikes all the right chords while still remaining humorous and accessible, and only he could successfully pull off such a performance. And it's a nice breakaway from the usual screwball-comedies we've gotten used to seeing him in. Jennifer Lawrence also proves her versatility; as one of the rising stars in the industry, she handles the more adult role with as much grace as with sass.
Yes, some aspects of the plot are cheesy, as expected where "boy meets girl" is concerned, but when all is said and done, I didn't have to try valiantly to keep up with the dialogue to understand the film's message. It is altogether very aware that its characters are average human beings, and takes advantage of their imperfections to create a film that, far from being alienating, is one of the most relevant and optimistic social commentaries I have seen in a while.

Holism A Shopper's GuideAuthor:
Fodor, Jerry, Lepore, Ernest
Publisher: Wiley & Sons, Incorporated, John
Summary: The main question addressed in this book is whether individuation of the contents of thoughts and linguistic expressions is inherently holistic. The authors consider arguments that are alleged to show that the meaning of a scientific hypothesis depends on the entire theory that entails it, or that the content of a concept depends on the entire belief system of which it is part. If these arguments are sound then it wo...uld follow that the meanings of words, sentences, hypotheses, predictions, discourses, dialogs, texts, thoughts and the like are merely derivative. The implications of holism about meaning for other philosophical issues (intentional explanation, translation, Realism, skepticism, etc.) will also be explored. Authors discussed include Quine, Davidson, Lewis, Bennett, Block, Field, Churchland, and others. The book is intended for all those interested in language, mind, metaphysics or epistemology.

Acute and chronic vomiting in dogs and cats (Proceedings)
Vomiting is among the most common reasons that dogs and cats are presented for evaluation. Because there are a multitude of causes of vomiting, ranging from simple to complex, this can be a challenging problem for clinicians to accurately diagnose and manage. The problem also causes significant concern for pet owners, especially when there is an onset of frequent severe vomiting or when the occurrence becomes more chronic and intermittent without adequate control. However, by following a systematic approach beginning with an accurate history, a thorough physical exam, and appropriate baseline testing (Stage 1), then performing tests more specific for certain conditions or organ systems (e.g., bile acids assay, leptospirosis serology, ACTH stimulation, ultrasonography) (Stage 2), and finally where indicated performing advanced procedures for more thorough examination and biopsy or definitive therapy (endoscopy, exploratory laparotomy), most cases can be diagnosed successfully and managed judiciously. Vomiting does not constitute a diagnosis in itself. It is emphasized that vomiting is simply a clinical sign of any of a number of disorders that can involve any organ system in the body. In fact, one diagnostic registry service listed over 400 potential causes of vomiting in dogs! These notes summarize diagnostic approach and various treatment options for managing dogs and cats with vomiting.
Vomiting refers to a forceful ejection of gastric and occasionally proximal small intestinal contents through the mouth. The vomiting act involves three stages: nausea, retching, and vomiting. Serious consequences of vomiting include volume and electrolyte depletion, acid-base imbalance, and aspiration pneumonia.
It is essential that the clinician make a clear differentiation between regurgitation and vomiting at the outset. Regurgitation is defined as passive, retrograde movement of ingested material, usually before it has reached the stomach. Failure to recognize the difference between regurgitation and vomiting often leads to misdiagnosis. Regurgitation may occur immediately after uptake of food or fluids or may be delayed for several hours or more.A Detailed, Accurate History is ESSENTIAL
One of the most important early considerations is to determine if any toxins may have been ingested, since some compounds can cause life threatening sequelae. The earlier a toxicity is identified, the greater the chance for successful management. Currently, xylitol toxicity is being recognized more frequently, and sago palm plants, which can cause severe hepatotoxicity in dogs and cats, are found in more homes and yards than in previous years. Cocoa mulch toxicity (theobromine) is also occasionally seen. Many animals that have ingested toxins are presented with vomiting as a prominent sign. Key summary points about these toxins are listed here.
Three Case Examples of Important Toxins That Can Cause Vomiting as Well as Severe Consequences Including Death
**(Accurate History Obtained Early is Extremely Important)
XYLITOL: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in many products, including sugar-free gum and mints, nicotine gum, chewable vitamins, oral-care products, and baked goods. It can be purchased in a granulated form for baking and as a sweetener for cereals and beverages. It has two-thirds the calories of sugars. It is being used more frequently in the U.S. in recent years, and many more toxicity events in animals have occurred concurrently. Xylitol is safe in people but not dogs, where adverse reactions can range from hypoglycemia to acute hepatic necrosis and even liver failure with coagulopathy.
Xylitol has been shown to have some attractive properties in humans, besides a lower calorie count. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, which makes it useful in preventing bacterial otitis media in children. It also has anticarcinogenic properties because it prevents oral bacteria from producing the acids that damage tooth surfaces. This is why xylitol has seen increased use in sugar-free gum, toothpaste, and other oral care products.
A report from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center published in JAVMA in 2006 discussed 8 cases of xylitol toxicity in dogs. These included:
We can help our clients by educating them about the dangers of this popular sweetener product for humans! There were no reported cases to the poison control center in 2002-03, but the number increased to 150 reports in 2007-08. Many diagnosed cases go unreported.
Toxicity levels:
Oral xylitol has a wide margin of safety in most species, BUT NOT DOGS.
Mice: Oral LD50 >20g/kg
Humans: >130 g/day will cause diarrhea but no other abnormalities
Dogs: >0.1 g/kg can cause hypoglycemia (vomiting is usually the first sign and hypoglycemia can develop in 30-60 minutes). But in some cases of xylitol gum ingestion, hypoglycemia may be delayed for up to 12 hours. Some dogs develop elevated liver enzymes by 12-24 hours after xylitol ingestion. Liver failure can develop even if hypoglycemia was not seen. The JAVMA report stated that the lowest estimated dose associated with liver failure was 0.5 g/kg.
Recommendation from Dr. Eric Dunayer of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center:
To calculate estimated dose ingested, the following guidelines can be used:
- If xylitol is the first sugar alcohol in the ingredient list, then the dose should be based on the total amount of sugar alcohols per piece even though this will result in an overestimation of the xylitol dose.

This dark chocolate breakfast mousse is made with Greek yogurt (no avocado!). It is smooth and creamy, simple to make, and packed with protein. This mousse is topped with fresh fruit, a chopped up chocolate brownie energy bar, and (optional) chocolate curls.
Chocolate mousse for breakfast anyone? I'll take five.
And did you see all the toppings on this mousse? I'm talking fresh fruit (I used blueberries), a brownie-flavored protein bar (YUM), and chocolate curls. Which I admit, the chocolate curls happened when I was just getting out of hand and excited decorating this mousse to take pictures. Those chocolate curls are totally optional.
But IF you did serve this chocolate mousse for a dessert instead of for breakfast, well, then the chocolate curls are totally appropriate. And making chocolate curls is so easy. All you need is a large chocolate candy bar (no nuts or add ins) and a vegetable peeler. Make sure the candy has been at room temperature, unwrap it, and "peel" it from top to bottom directly over the dessert you want the chocolate curls to land on.
So you know the wonderful-ness of overnight oats? You make them the night before, forget 'em, and they are ready and delicious in the morning? Well guess what. These are the same way!
They are quickly made the night before, then you freeze them for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours (just depending on when you make them and when you go to bed), give em a good stir and transfer them to the fridge. When you wake up in the morning they will be deliciously mousse-like, chocolate-y, and ready to be topped.
I already briefly mentioned the toppings – blueberries, protein bar, and the chocolate curls, but let's talk a little bit about these protein bars. When I was in college, I seriously lived on protein bars. They were quick, on-the-go, and nutritious. I've also been on the search for the perfect protein or meal replacement bar.
And let me tell you, I've found a winner! The bars I used to top this mousse with are called Life Choice Bars and the flavor that I like (and is pictured above) is called chocolate fudge brownie. They are SO good, super fudgy, and are not over-powering protein tasting. One last note – in the recipe I call out for 2% Greek yogurt. If you change this and try to do a lower fat content of yogurt or don't use Greek yogurt, the mixture will not thicken up like a mousse. I used Fage 2% yogurt which I highly recommend as it has always made for a really thick mousse that has set up well for me.
And now it's time for me to have dessert for breakfast and still feel great about it 🙂
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoons truvia baking blend or another sweetener
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 1 container (7 ounces) 2% yogurt do not use a lower fat content
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, chocolate protein bar, chocolate curls
- In a medium-sized, microwave safe bowl, combine the almond milk (you may use another kind of milk), truvia (or another sweetener, but note that 1 and 1/4 teaspoon of truvia is equal to 1 tablespoon of real sugar), salt, and vanilla.
- Microwave for one minute.
- Remove and immediately stir in the chocolate chips. Stir the mixture briskly making sure to frequently scrape down the sides. You want all of the chocolate to melt in the milk mixture.
- Once the chocolate is all completely melted, open up the yogurt. Drain any liquid that may have risen to the top.
- Whisk the yogurt briskly with a fork and then fold it into the chocolate mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to cups and cover. Freeze for 30 minutes to 2-3 hours (no more than 3 hours, no less than 30 minutes).
- Remove from the freezer, stir everything again and re-cover.
- Transfer to the fridge overnight.
- Enjoy in the morning topped with fresh fruit, a chopped up protein bar, and if desired chocolate curls. (See post for instruction).
If you want a thick, mousse-like breakfast, the 2% yogurt is a must. Making any sort of substitutions to this recipe that haven't been indicated may result in a less mousse-like dish.
Here are some more protein-filled breakfasts:
Butterscotch Apple Pie Protein Shake
(No Bake) Protein Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Cookies
Peanut Butter and Banana Breakfast Muffins

What happened with Extensions.virtuemart.net?
Good news. The new VirtueMart store of the virtuemart core team is now opened and using the official address extensions.virtuemart.net. This store uses multivendor to give 3rd party developers an easy possibility to sell their extensions for virtuemart. The idea is that the core team can be payed to ensure the ongoing development and enhancing of the virtuemart core. Maybe we can later offer also support hours, books, hosting and others. When you want to support the project, but you dont have time to contribute, then buy something in the store to support us.
But what happened now with the VMED? At the moment the VMED is displayed in the shop http://extensions.virtuemart.net/component/sobi2 . It is not completly consistent yet. Either the shop will also provide free downloads as a kind of editors pick, or the shop is evoluting more and more to the new VMED for VM2.
What else is going on. A professional writer started to write a manual for our wiki dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki.
We have a new section in the forum for 3rd party developers and their extensions for vm2 3rd party extension VM2. You can find there a free eway plugin, jcomments for virtuemart, a redirect plugin to keep old vm1 links (just some examples). More and more payment and shipment plugins are ready. Systempay is now also in the core and maintained by the team.
The development version 2.0.3E is very matured now. The use of child variants got strongly enhanced. You can calculate your costprice according to the final price. This are mainly enhancments in the gui, else we concentrate on the various small fixes. Here the link when you want to test it VM2.0.4-RC. Personally I would use now the latest 2.0.3E aka 2.0.4-RC :-)
Is extensions.virt uemart multivendor based on VM and maybe when it is a upcomming feature?
Best Regards,
I'd be happy to purchase extensions from the VM2 developers had they provided me with a solid core application. However, how can I trust their work when VM2 is such a mess?
Please, fix VM2 and THEN sell your extensions.

UNC student killed in thunderstorm Thursday
A UNC student was killed by a tree on Franklin Street during Thursday's severe storm.
Chancellor Holden Thorp identified the woman as Xuezhou Nan in an email to the UNC community.
Thorp said she was known as Julia.
In an interview, Orange County EMS director Jim Groves said the 20-year-old student was struck by a falling tree in the 300 block of East Franklin Street near the intersection of Franklin Street and Raleigh Street.
"We were dispatched at 5:19 p.m. to a tree that had fallen on a person," Groves said.
By the time of their arrival, a bystander had pulled the student from under the tree. She was unresponsive, but breathing.
EMS transported the woman to UNC Hospitals, where she later died from her injuries. Groves could not confirm any further information about the student.
"It is so hard to lose one so young, especially in such a terrible, random and tragic event," Thorp said in his email.
"I hope that all of you, Julia's fellow Tar Heels, will keep her family and friends in your thoughts at this sad time."
Counseling and Wellness services will be available to the UNC community. Students can call Counseling and Wellness services at 919-966-2281. Employees may contact the Employee Assistance Program at 877-314-5841.

It's a bit hard to go on the little details you've provided.
The PermissionDemand() in there together with the fact this only happens on one desktop suggests that there is a permissions problem somewhere.
Is the user that is getting this problem running as local admin or just a standard user? If a standard user, does an domain admin get the same problem?
Hi Alan,
Thanks for your response. I tracked down the problem myself and identified this with an issue within the registry entries being added when you create a System DSN using ODBC Data Source.
Earlier my application (client/server) used to fetch the connection string thru app.config and to make it more generic and independant of any changes being required to be made to app.config we decided to form the connection string by fetching the DSN entries being created in the local registry.
We basically decided to fetch the 'Database' and the 'Server' keys from the registry to form the string. But, when you specify windows authentication as your mode of authentication while creating the DSN it does not create a KEY - 'Database' within your registry. It creates it only when you choose SQL Server (we are using SQL Server 2005) authentication.
I didn't understood the logic behind this though?
I am having the same problem but I didn't understand a word you just said. I am obviously a little new at this, but I try to figure most things out first by reading other post, hence why I am here. But this one is just over my head. the source code is as follows, thanks in advance.
PublicClass Form1 Dim theOleDbCommand As New OleDbCommand() Dim theOleDbDataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(theOleDbCommand) Dim theDataSet As New DataSet()
this is just a sample app that I am working with, I will eventually use it integrated with a user input form, if at all possible. I have the other app made, it is like a time card application. Just thought I would try a sample first and can't get it. I don't know if any of that helped.
i was facing the same issue while troubleshooting someone's code. but in my case, the code was written in a way that it was entering the transaction, execute some code, commit transaction, and execute some other code without exiting the transaction.
when i moved my code inside the transaction it worked fine.
hope this helps if u r having same issue.
guys...Please stop speculating on this like MVPs.....:))))))))))))))))),
I could reproduce with a strong point, If there is an exception occurred, if you have rolled back your transaction, and try to continue the further data retrieval, Connection is Closed, so the error.
if you want more details about your bug, In VS IDE, keep exception ON. ( Debug --> Exceptions, check on exceptions... )you would see the dirty code which causing this error !

ANTIOCH — Grant Elementary paid tribute to the memory of the Sept. 11 tragedy last week.
The Antioch school event featured the American Legion, staff and PTA, and principal Janeen Zuniga explained the meaning of Patriot Day and why 9/11 is commemorated.
"I was thrilled with the outcome of this community-based event," Zuniga said. The students "were in awe of the flag ceremony presented by the American Legion."
The entire school also had a moment of silence to honor those who perished and the first-responder heroes.
"They showed their respect (with complete quiet) … quite a success for young children." "Although they were not yet born when the 9/11 catastrophe occurred, they understand that Americans came together during that time of need, and the flag represents our patriotism as Americans."
Zuniga thinks the event was significant.
"I think it is critically important that students learn, in age appropriate ways, about the history of what led to the terrorist attacks and that because of our freedoms, Americans had the ability to persevere in spite of those who disagree with those freedoms."
Local Boy and Girl Scout troops also participated in the flag ceremony along with members of the American Legion in Antioch. Students who participated included Ruby Elliot, Lily Weyrauch, Lorena Vazquez, Sarah Morgan, Anaila Virgen, Brooke Nunn, Amaya Partida, Zaida Williams, Maria Prieto, Christina Clee, Azhon Ferranti, Kenny Peacock, Zach Peacock, Parker Reich, Adam Gee, Dennis Gavrilenko, Leon Garrett, Daniel Mitesh Rasanayagam, Joshua Young, Stanton Westhorpe and Nathan Elliott.

Community Forums › Forums › Design Tips and Tricks › Minimum Pro – creating circles with CSS looks funky on the iPad
This topic contains 1 reply, has 1 voice, and was last updated by pamrburke 3 years, 9 months ago.

I am working with Minimum Pro.
On my Mac laptop, in Chrome, the following code to create three inline circles, with text, using float left works fine. On the iPad, however, the words under the the circles are floating up to the right of the last circle. I suspect that I need to put a clear float somewhere, but I am not sure where. This code is on my About page, by the way.
.mission-vision-circles {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
-webkit-border-radius: 100px 100px 100px 100px;
-moz-border-radius: 100px 100px 100px 100px;
border-radius: 100px 100px 100px 100px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 2px #ddd;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 2px #ddd;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
.orange {

After taking another look, this issue only happens when the iPhone or iPad is in landscape.
For clarification on the issue, I have created three circles using css. The circles are set us as float left, making them sit adjacent to one another. In landscape, on the iPhone and the iPad, the third circle moves below the other two circles and the text that was below the circles moves to the location where the three circle was located.
Any ideas on the media query that can be used to fix this in landscape?

Damaging town
PUBLISHED: 10:04 10 February 2012
May I beg a little space in your paper to say how utterly appalled I am at what has happened to the little town I was born and brought up in.
What soulless people destroyed its little green oasis, known for generations as the Strand Gardens, and replaced it with a piazza. Since when has Exmouth been in Italy?
The War Memorial looks stranded in a foreign place. Perhaps it, too, is for the chop and a sporting arena erected in its place. Just think, you could have cage fighting or, better still, bring on the gladiators.
It was bad enough when Shelley Beach and the docks turned into something that would not look out of place on the Mediterranean, and I did wonder how many local families could afford the prices.
What comes next; a steel and glass block of luxury apartments where the Clock Tower stands, a prime site for town houses and flats on the Manor Gardens to create more places for second home buyers.
Or, how about Canary Island-style flats staggering up the cliffs from the seafront to the Beacon? They could go all the way from the top of Chapel Hill to Orcombe Point, and the mind boggles at what could be done with The Maer.
With nature doing its best to change the beach and the town trying to be something it is not, maybe one should forget the old adage about Devon being a little bit of heaven.
Watch out Exmouth does not become like so many places in Spain, fit only for stag and hen nights and lager louts by the score.

The lights are on
I had been looking forward to this title, as I had been pleasantly surprised by the first Amazing Spider-Man title two years back, but upon picking it up, I was somewhat disappointed. The game plays well enough and the new web swinging mechanic is an improvement, but the entire experience just seemed unfinished. That's really the one issue that all the games problems can be wrapped under: an overall lack of polish. The visuals are unimpressive by last gen standards, the plot is a string of random villains getting punched in the face, and much of the game play feels like it's just shy of being solid. I played through the entire campaign, and I'm really not upset that I purchased the game, but it definitely could have been more. Beenox has tried to emulate the Arkham games in it's last two titles, which isn't a bad idea, but when that idea isn't fully realized it makes one spend the entire game experience imagining how excellent the title could be if it had been. Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has a few fun moments for fans and swinging through New York has a fun, acrobatic appeal, but the entire experience is marred by what feels like an unfinished game all around.
This is disappointing. I must say, however, this is the best looking spider-man I've seen in a video game!
I wld realy love it if maybe rocksteady wen they have sum dwn time lol, wld pick up the Spider-Man title jst one time to show the other game developers how a superhero game shld be made hell rocksteady shld have the rights to all superhero games thts jst how I feel cuz after playing the arkham titles other superhero games fall short

UPDATE: EW's current 2013 fall pilot list is here — complete with cast and which shows have received series greenlights.
As usual, lots of comedy pilots will focus on the family — including one headlined by Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. But this development season is not without a few welcome surprises, like the addition of Bridesmaids' breakout star Rebel Wilson to one project, or CBS' coup in nabbing House Bunny Anna Faris for her first-ever starring role in a network comedy.
As is the case with any pilot, not every one is assured a pickup come May when the networks announce their fall TV lineups in New York. See if you can guess what is likely to make the cut — and what deserves a special place in the dumpster. (And if you're looking for the drama pilots, those are here):
Spy (Simeon Goulden). Rob Corddry stars in this single-camera comedy pilot based on a British comedy series that centers on a well-intentioned father of a highly intelligent and verbal son, who also happens to be his complete opposite.
Untitled Cullen Project (Mark & Robb Cullen). When Terry Gannon, a recently divorced, single mother, temporarily moves in with her estranged father, a beer swilling former baseball player, she reluctantly starts coaching her son's underdog little league team and is drawn back into the world of sports she vowed to leave behind. James Caan stars.
Murder in Manhattan (Maria Maggenti). Hour-long dramedy set in NYC centering on a mother and daughter who team up as amateur sleuths.
Bad Management (Sharon Horgan, Holly Walsh). A slightly self-centered female boss at a high end luxury goods department store finds her ways challenged when the boss's son comes to town and makes youth and sex the new company focus. Horgan is also starring (as the boss).
Untitled Andrea Abbate. Karey is the clean-nosed black sheep in a family of petty thieves, drug addicts, and narcissists – but when her brother is sent to prison, she decides to raise his kids along with her adopted African American son and give them the normal lives they deserve.
Middle Age Rage (Cheryl Holliday). About a middle aged mother who is fed up with feeling invisible and begins to speak up and demand the respect she feels she's earned.
Divorce: A Love Story (Mike Sikowitz, Daniel Lappin). A multi-camera comedy revolving around Kenny and Robin, a recently divorced couple, who were bad together but discover they're even worse apart and can't seem to stay out of each others' lives. Based on the Israeli format, Life Isn't Everything.
Trophy Wife (Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins). Reformed party girl Kate finds herself with an insta-family when she falls in love with a man, Brad with three manipulative kids and two judgmental ex-wives. Cast: Malin Akerman, Bradley Whitford, Marcia Gay Harden.
Super Fun Night (Rebel Wilson). Kimmie and her two best friends since high school have an awesome Friday night tradition of staying home in their pj's and hanging out with each other, but when Kimmie gets a big promotion at her law firm and is invited to a party by the cute transfer from the London office, she realizes that she needs to step-up her game and convince her friends to take Super Fun Night on the road. Cast: Rebel Wilson, Lauren Ash, Liza Lapira, Kelen Coleman, Kevin Bishop.
Mixology (Jon Lucas, Scott Moore). Set in the world of a sexy Manhattan bar, the high-concept comedy from the writers of The Hangover chronicles the exploits of singles in search of love – all over the course of one night.
Pulling (Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky). The story of three dysfunctional women in their 30s living their lives the way they want, even if society tells them they should have it all figured out by this point.
Untitled Adam Goldberg (Adam F. Goldberg, Seth Gordon, Doug Robinson). A multi-generational, dysfunctional Wonder Years set in simpler times, inspired by Goldberg's own experience growing up in the '80s with a highly screwed up but loving family. Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin.
Untitled John Leguizamo. Based on John Leguizamo's life as a husband, father and fish out of water on the upper West Side of New York. Woven into this world are his privileged wife, his friends from his life back in the Bronx, his mother and grandfather who try to keep him grounded in his Latin roots, and his own kids who he worries are getting spoiled and losing touch with reality.

i hope she dont get a chill the poor love
Scorps/ DC/ Barbie
Barbie, If you do catch a chill fear not I have a pot of Vics on standby and shall be right over to rub it on your chest.
that'll be my good deed for the day
The voices in my head may not be real
But they do have some good ideas
Have you ever actually researched your readership to find out how many Women and Gay Men read MCN.
I just wonder why you automatically assume we all want to see the same thing.
Some may appreciate a nice hunk of Man as MCN's figurehead.
No chance.
You may question DC's and Dant's leanings then, can't have that can we?
I've been stuck at work
unfortunately but hoping to get to the show over the weekend.
I think if there were any screaming pooftas (I think that's the politically correct expression) amongst us young Barbiebabe would have cured them by now...
Nice piccies Dave.
If MCN started splashing scantily clad muscle bound men over its pages I for one would refuse to buy it in protest of this shallow degrading attempt to increase its circulation.
Hi guys and gals!
Bikesnbones - let me start by saying, if you don't like it go somewhere else for women and gay men! No-one is forcing you to like what MCN do, it's called promotion and the babe competition goes down a treat with the punters! If you don't want to be one of them that's fine, as are leaving your opinion on here but this thread is a nice one about my day in the Babe competition. If you've got anything negative to say about the competition or MCN then please start another thread.
Anyway, for everyone else, I had a wicked day! I loved being there. I loved talking to people who've travelled from many different places. I met up with some forum users, R1Chic and co, tiamo and many others! Had a drink with them all with Cushy Boy (thanks!) and loved the attention that you get when you have to walk around the show wearing next to nothing!!!!! I've never had so many people ask to have their photo taken with me - it was brilliant!
Got introduced on stage at 12, mingled in the crowd for an hour or so, then crunch time came at 3.30. There were 9 of there today and only three were chosen for the final and...
...unfortunately I didn't get picked. I was so upset that I didn't get through to the final. The woman from the agency did mention a pillion test ride that MCN are doing and she told me that she wants me to do it. Hopefully if it goes ahead, I'll be riding pillion on a few bikes with MCN plastered all over me! I hope that this then leads to more work with MCN.
All in all, I had a great day, even if I'm not going to end up in the Babe Squad. Thanks MCN x x x
Sorry (and surprised) to hear you didn't get in...
Don't worry about it though matey... I think it's their loss to be honest. As well as being a good looking girl you obviously have a lot of enthusiasm for (and knowledge of) bikes which would have allowed you to bring something to the job that most of the others will not have.
It was a tongue in cheek remark, meant to be taken as a joke.
Looks like you're letting your new found celeb status go to your head a bit.
Don't take yourself so seriously.
Apologies to you. But also a misunderstanding by yourself. I do not have a new found celeb staus and even if I did, it certainly wouldn't go straight to my head! I do have a laugh and I've had a really great day, but I do take myself seriously. My dancing is my life and promotional and modelling is something I'm seriously looking into now. I don't want celeb status, I just want to be an MCN babe. I've had a tough day and have been upset that I didn't make it to the final. I think to sound this positive about it all, is not anything going to my head, it's just saying, it wasn't my time, there'll be something better for me soon. x x x
... the spirit Barbie! Keep your wits about you or you'll end up like Chantelle! Hold on. No you won't... you can string a coherent sentence together!
Wanna go 2's up on my Tmax?
Its our loss
Cos we wont see as much of you not being an MCN babe.
Or as frequently
barbie babe
nice teeth
you mean you get paid as well?
You is one lucky bloke.
No wonder broad smile on your fizzog.
Barbie, well done, gal, you did well to make it as far as you did.
Each BSB/WSB meeting I go to this year I'll say to the MCB Babes 'Where's Laura?' and see what happens
I still reckon you've got the best legs of all of 'em, so there.
Thanks peeps...
Thanks to everyone who got me to the semi-finals by voting for me. I think one main thing wasI didn't go over the top with the fake tan. To be honest, I didn't wear any fake tan - it's February for god's sake!!!! Some of them looked orange, liked they bathed in the stuff. Then there was me, as white as they come! I thought that was just showing a true English lass.
Sgt Bilko - Cheers for your message. 'Wanna go 2's up on my Tmax?' - let know where and when!
Greenpro - Thanks matey, hopefully I'll get to the BSB/WSB meets anyway, we'll have to arrange it all on here. x x x
Sorry to
hear you didnt get picked BB, all I can think is the voting was rigged by those that want hunky blokes and queers in the MCN.
Chin up for next time girl
Shame BB
Think you'd have definitely livened things up - MCN's loss.
You'll have to let us know how pillion rides go u lucky gal you
I always say if you've got it, flaunt it - if u haven't (like moi) don't frighten the poor people
Sounds like you're having fun hunny so you enjoy it
Thank you...
...so much for a lovely message. Not sure if the test ride is definate but if it goes ahead I'll be taking my camera and letting you all know how it goes. I agree - it's MCN's loss but it's hard facing it at the moment with the fact that I'm not an MCN babe. x x x
Commiserations Barbie...
....don't worry about it.....not getting in to the MCN Babesquad didn't seem to do 'Chantelle' any harm!
Get some tight rubber Nazi gear on yourself. BMW will snap you up straight away to promote their german war machines.

Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) may soon begin marketing a $249 tablet computer--a product that could threaten Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad, and provide a jolt for pay TV distributors looking to distribute multiplatform to subscribers.
It's important to note that Amazon still hasn't officially confirmed that it will sell its own tablet. But countless reports, including a review of the product from a technology blogger, suggest that it will soon begin selling a tablet based on Google's Android platform which will feature a 7-inch color display.
Analysts at Forrester Research are already estimating that Amazon could sell up to 5 million tablets during the fourth quarter. The top online retailer is also testing a redesign for its website which appears to be focused on delivering content to tablet computers.
Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), DirecTV (Nasdaq: DTV), Cablevision (NYSE: CVC), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and other pay TV providers have already created apps for Apple's iPad which allow subscribers to use the devices as remote control, and to watch video on the tablets. With the prospect of Amazon marketing a tablet that costs half the price of the iPad, it's likely that tablet computers could make their way into the homes of millions of pay TV subscribers. Turning the tablet computer into a mass market product opens up a new distribution outlet for content owners, and could also create new advertising and subscription revenue streams for pay TV distributors.

- As Himself: "Hey! It's the guy from Cheers!" (A running joke that none of Bob's co-workers knows "Norm's" real name.)
- The Danza: "Hi, Bob!"
- Defictionalization: During the run of the series, Marvel Comics printed a Mad Dog comic, complete with Ace Comics logo. In reflection of the series plot, the book was divided into two sections, one half a parody of Golden Age comics with the 1950s version of the character, the other half a parody of ''Dark Knight''-style comic reboots. Also included were a Letters section, and a "From Our Publisher" page authored by Bob McKay.
- Excited Show Title!: For the first season. Once the setting changes to the greeting card company, Bob! becomes just Bob.
- Only Sane Man: As with his previous two shows, Newhart surrounded himself with oddballs.
- Re Tool: The most disasterous second season retool since After Mash. Despite high praise from the critics for its first season, Executive Meddling reared its ugly head. The comic book is cancelled, 90% of the cast is replaced, the title loses its exclamation mark, and Bob goes back to his old job at the greeting card company. Not even new co-star Betty White could save this one.

Tel Aviv (Jan. 5)
Israel has begun making arrangements to open a Consulate in Alexandria, Foreign Ministry sources said today. Israel's Ambassador to Cairo, Eliahu Ben-Elissar, dined last night with the Governor of Alexandria to discuss the plans.
The opening of Israel's first diplomatic installation in Egypt outside Cairo is reciprocal with President Anwar Sadat's proposal for Egyptian Consulates in Haifa and Beersheba, the two towns he visited in Israel.
Egypt's first Parliamentary delegation is due on an official visit to Israel later this month. Ten Parliamentarians will come, accompanied by a number of Egyptian journalists.

Vegan Camp Exploration With Dr. Andy Mars
For some parents, finding the right camp for their child can be overwhelming. A number of specialty camps concentrate on activities such as water skiing, adventure sports, or the arts. Others focus on health issues, like diabetes or asthma.
While many camps claim to have vegetarian options, they rarely offer more than the usual salad bar, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and maybe a Gardenburger. That's why Camp Exploration is a breath of fresh air for campers looking for both exciting summer camp experiences and great vegan food.
Since 1994, Dr. Andy Mars has directed an all-vegan summer camp. Each year, a day camp and five different overnight sessions are offered. Each session's activities are based around themes, such as hiking, traveling the California coast, visiting Yosemite or Disneyland, and even taking an alien- and space-focused road trip to Roswell, New Mexico.
Apprehensive parents and children always have the opportunity to meet and talk with Dr. Mars before attending Camp Exploration.
"After the other bad camp, I wasn't sure I wanted to try something else," one participant said. "Then, I met Doc, and when I talked to him, I felt all better. And after going, it was even better than I thought." With no more than 12 campers (and three adult counselors) per session, the campers really get to know each other. They get to eat, explore, and travel together. There are no specific age ranges for any session, but most campers are between 8 and 12 years old.
Camp Exploration is near Los Angeles, so the majority of the campers are from southern California. This is not to say that the camp is lacking in diversity; parents and children have come from across the United States and from countries such as Israel, Korea, Japan, and Russia. In addition to Camp Exploration, Dr. Mars directs an after-school program called Students Taking Action and Responsibility Today (START) during the school year. This program contributes approximately half of the campers each summer.
Although the camp food provided is entirely vegan, many of the campers are not vegan or even vegetarian.
"In 18 successful summers (and winters) of these programs, we have never had a non-vegetarian camper complain about the food," Dr. Mars said. "They absolutely love it."
When asked what their favorite camp food is, campers agree that sushi and veggie kabobs are some of the best (and most fun) meals. Other favorites include Italian night, a Mexican burrito bar, and the all-important camp staple ... roasted marshmallows and s'mores (vegan, of course!). Campers can choose to help in food preparation, which can lead to eating better even after returning home.
Camp Exploration's success can be measured by the campers' feedback and the number who come back each year. Some campers return for years in a row and even for multiple sessions during a single summer.

AWhat's your go-to filling for a marble cake when your customer doesn't have a specific preference? I find marble cake to be a bit dysfunctional. Is it vanilla? Is it chocolate? It's both. It's conflicted. And it makes me conflicted about fillings.
I prefer and always suggest picking up one of the marble flavors...classic vanilla/chocolate marble with fudge BC, lemon/raspberry marble gets raspberry BC, chocolate/peanut butter marble with peanut butter BC.
Chocolate ganache works extremely well because you get a little contrast from the vanilla part of the cake.
I personally like marble better than solid chocolate. It has more personality.
How about a vanilla or chocolate mousse or pudding.
If you have a good marble recipe please share....I haven't been able to make a good one yet !
Good marble recipe? what source have you been baking from so far for the separate flavours? Mix? WASC? Scratch?
I take plain unsweetened cocoa and mix it to a creamy consistency with boiling water in a small dish. Then I add that to vanilla cake batter to make the chocolate part. Add it to your vanilla batter until it is as dark as you like. I use 2 parts vanilla batter and 1 part chocolate batter in the pan.
And my second job was dishing ice cream...including soft serve from a machine that had two tanks so we could make the swirly half and half cones. That was fun.
AThanks for the replies! I honestly just whip up a batch of my vanilla cake, a batch of one of my chocolate cake recipes, layer and swirl. I think I'll serve the marble sample to her naked so she can try a few different fillings and see what she'd like to settle on. When I eat marble cake, I don't even like icing on it. I find the inherent variety in the batter enough for my simple palate.
I dose the white cake batter with the cocoa-water paste with no other adjustments Seems to work. Saves time by only mixing once. I dump the white batter into the pan. Then I drop the chocolate batter in with a tablespoon, and run a few quick zigzags with a knife. That avoids any spots with two layers. Yes good cake is good cake, doesn't need any icing at all.
Maybe we should start a new style: what they call "tomboy" cake with marbled cake, nothing on the outside?
A simple ganache works for when you have to stick the layers with something. Maybe you could try white chocolate ganache. Maybe then it could be almond or peppermint or something else unexpected that the customer likes.
i like a nice mocha icing with my marble cake
this one baker i used to work with made thee finest marbling in his marble cake
it was scroll work--it was insanely detailed--stunningly beautiful
if i did that i'd have almost chocolate cake--because i would combine it y'know?
his was magic --the patterns he made were copyrightable
never seen anything like it anywhere else
edited for typo

Two quotes from Ty:
There will be things we look at for quite a while , what gives us the best chance to win going forward. Combinations may change , we might change the starting lineup here and there, we just want to play, we want the do the best to step forward and play. Everyone is going to get minutes we are a deep team, guys are going to have runs where they are going well and someone is struggling and we change the rotation to help us win.We have minutes and how guys are going to respond to and staying focused on the prize of winning games and getting better as a team and when all the other dynamics get into it, about minutes and shots and points and that stuff and outside influences and can we stick together and keep fighting together thorough tough times and if someone is going good and somebody else minutes are struggling or down a little bit staying with it, keep working and fighting through and being ready.

MONTREAL, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Procyon Biopharma Inc. , a biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics in the fields of cancer and HIV/AIDS, announced today that it will be hosting a conference call and webcast to explain PSP94 diagnostic marker study findings - as previously announced Friday, December 2, 2005 - showing that PSP94 serum levels were a better predictor of the aggressivity of the cancer than PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) or FTPSA (Free to Total PSA ratio) on Tuesday, December 6th at 9:00 AM ET.
Hans J. Mader, president and chief executive officer of Procyon Biopharma, Dr. Chandra Panchal, senior vice-president of new technologies of Procyon Biopharma, Dr. Daniel Bock, vice-president, business development and licensing of Procyon Biopharma as well as Dr. Robert K.

Interested parties may access the conference call by way of telephone or webcast. The webcast will be available at www.procyonbiopharma.com and archived for 90 days for replay purposes. The numbers to access the conference call are (416) 644-3414 (U.S. and Canada) and 1(800) 814-4853 (international).
A replay of the call will be available from December 6, 2005 to March 6, 2006 and the numbers to access the replay are (416) 640-1917 (U.S. and Canada) and 1(877) 289-8525 (international) with access code 21167009(pound key).
PSP94 is one of the three major proteins secreted in the seminal fluid, together with PSA and Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP). PSP94-based test kits measure the amount of free PSP94, bound PSP94 and PSP94 binding protein present in the blood, the relative ratios of which are believed to have utility in prostate cancer prognosis, diagnosis and monitoring. These test kits differentiate between patients with prostate cancer and patients with benign conditions among patients who underwent a biopsy for prostate cancer. The PSP94-based test kits have the potential to significantly reduce the number of first and repeat prostate biopsies thus reducing the associated cost, morbidity and infection risk. Recent studies also indicate that the PSP94-based test kits were able to predict patients suffering from a more aggressive disease. PSP94 was found to be a strong predictor of relapse post- radiotherapy as well as following radical prostatectomy.

· But then August is not always a happy month. Police in Denver, Colorado, have revealed that the man they found suffering from "non-life-threatening road rash" in the middle of Interstate 25 on Saturday night apparently "leapt from a fast-moving vehicle to avoid a verbal argument with his significant other", who was driving it at the time. Who's not been there.
· Sincere if somewhat belated hats off, next, to Labour's Sharon Hodgson MP, who, just before the summer recess, tabled a fine, though sadly little noticed, early day motion lamenting the fact that the notoriously reliable low-cost airline Ryanair "refuses to provide an email address for the purposes of making complaints", and therefore calling on the house to "welcome efforts by the hon member for Gateshead East and Washington West to ensure that the rights of online consumers are incorporated in the consumer, estate agents and redress bill". By a remarkable coincidence, the hon member for Gateshead East and Washington West appears very much to be a Ms Sharon Hodgson. Good skills, ma'am.
· How very thoughtful of the managers at the BBC's White City canteen to stick up a sign informing the corporation's employees that they really should "not consume any items until they are purchased". A timely reminder when people just can't seem to stop doing things in the wrong order, wouldn't you say? Arf.
· Congratulations, too, to train operator Merseyrail, which, according to its must-read website, has just cut its Southport-Liverpool services from four an hour to two an hour for the undeniably intriguing reason that "over the last few weeks, Merseyrail has been experiencing unusual levels of wear on train wheels". We have a nasty feeling there's a joke lurking in there somewhere, but yesterday was bank holiday Monday, and such things are beyond us.
· In further important transport- related news, alert reader John Howes reports that at 3.50pm the other Friday, the 50 or so passengers waiting for an eastbound train on the District/Circle Line platform at Paddington heard the following announcement: "Be advised there will be no more trains from this station." No one, says John, moved. No one took any apparent interest. Two minutes later, a Circle line train arrived, and everyone got on. Strange.
· Obviously this column does not make fun of people's names, but it has been pointed out to us that the spokesperson for the English Beef and Lamb Executive goes by the name of Mo Herd. Whatever next, we cannot help but wonder.
· Our sincere thanks, penultimately, to the countless hordes of you who, during our absence, sent in the one about the bushy-tailed bugger in Jyvaskula, central Finland, who strolls into his local grocery shop twice a day, peels the foil off a Kinder Surprise egg, eats the chocolate, and then strolls out again clutching the small plastic toy inside. This is clearly a very worrying development. More encouragingly, alert reader Richard Guthrie says a special phone line is now taking calls from people who spot grey squirrels on Anglesey "as part of a cull that has seen 8,000 destroyed in the past decade". That's much more like it!
· Finally, this is, alas, this diarist's last week as diarist. But weep not! We are launching a blog. More, we fear, tomorrow.

With this deal I'd get a bowl of overgrips, lot of clothing and bowl of grips for free. I wonder if Babolat could give me a counter-offer. If I take this coaching sponsorship, does it mean that I have to compete with Wilson rackets or do I only have to coach with Wilson rackets. Does anyone know?
