Hello, Happening Blog Babes and dedicated Bachelorette viewers (both in and out of the Guilty Pleasure Closet. We know you're in there!). Don't panic, The Bachelorette didn't air early this week. My regular weekly episode dish will appear right here in this spot Tuesday morning as usual. This is Bonus Dish! I know! And a delicious dish it is, too.
Over the weekend, I had the chance to talk all things Bachelorette with the man himself. The guy who has guarded the mansion gates for the past 11 years and 27 total seasons. (Yes, it's been that long and that many, and yet we haven't aged a day!) The guy who has kept close watch on the rose count, wiped away copious quantities of tears, and kept our bachelors and bachelorettes from running screaming into the night by redirecting them to the nearest hot tub. Preferably not alone. Yes, I'm talking about the date-card-delivery guy, our always fabulous and dapper host, Chris Harrison!
Even more awesome? In addition to going behind the scenes in talking about the show, Chris also revealed that he and executive producer Mike Fleiss have expanded their desire to help singles become couples on television by launching their very own dating app. Yes, really! Now everybody can find their own hot tub honey bun. Hopefully a committed, lifelong hot tub honey bun, but, you know, your mileage may vary. Was I skeptical of this dating app, you ask? Do rose-ceremony rejectees cry as they climb into the limo of shame? Of course I was. But I checked out their At First Sight app, and you know what? I think Chris and Mike might be on to something here.
I'll let Chris tell you more about it, along with his insights regarding the show's long run and this season's bachelorette, Desiree, in our deliciously dishy Q&A:
Donna: In the 11 years since the show began, dating has changed a great deal in real life, as far as the digital age, the social age, etc. Have you found that people being open to meeting each other in new and different ways in real life has made the bachelors and bachelorettes on the show more open to meeting and falling in love in that kind of alternate environment?
Chris: Yes, absolutely. Eleven years ago there wasn't even a Myspace, much less Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. There weren't even blogs. So it's hugely different than when we began. You not only have a different group of people coming on the show, but the viewers are different, too. They expect a lot more out of their television shows, reality and otherwise. We pull back the curtain more now, show people exactly what we're doing. Viewers are more savvy than they used to be, they get out, people talk.
Donna: You've kept the process of the show pretty pure since the beginning, regarding the how they meet, how they date. You have expanded, going more international on the dates, but you also get more realistic as well. This season, we've seen Des go on a road trip with one of the guys and stop at a gas station for snacks. Far more realistic than it used to be in that sense. Is that what viewers want now? More reality with the fantasy?
Chris: Yes. If you look at the dates early on, what we showed was very different, much more skimming the surface. Whereas now we will show the good, the bad and the ugly. It's a lot more honest and open. The concept, we've learned, while perhaps not perfect is very, very good. The concept is also simple, it's two people dating, getting the chance of finding love, and that's really it. There are no surprises in the end, there's no catch. I think that's what has always set us apart.
But what we have shown over the last few years is more stories, more realistic stories. Say someone had a girlfriend on the show. Years ago, we would've, well, not covered it up, but maybe not given that guy a rose, and it would have just kind of gone away. Now we bring the girlfriend on the show, show the confrontation, the meltdown, and how it really played out. That's what the viewers demand now. And it would probably get out anyway —
Donna: That was my next question. Do you feel it's one of those things where you kind of have to now, because you don't want it getting out after the fact without you having responded to it honestly?
Chris: That was the lesson we learned with Roslyn years ago. She had a relationship with one of our producers and we handled it very delicately. For her sake, because she was a mom, and also for our sake, because we obviously weren't proud of it. So we kind of glossed over it, because we thought everyone understood, all the parties involved, hey —
Donna: Let's keep our eye on the prize?
Chris: Yeah, we kind of glossed over it. You had a relationship with a staffer, it's not OK, you need to go. We should have gone a lot deeper into that, shown a lot more, because once we got down to it, she denied doing it, it was a pretty big mess. We could have handled it a lot — still delicate — but a lot more honestly. That was a lesson learned.
Donna: Over the last decade, I've watched both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as a married person and as a single person, and I know it's given me a broader depth of perspective now of what they're going through. I know you're a happening bachelor yourself now, so do you find that that has changed your perception of and your identification with what both the bachelors and the bachelorettes are going through, both as the star of the show and as contestants?
Chris: I hope I always had an appreciation for what was going on and why people were coming on the show, but it has definitely changed since I've become single and started dating, myself. I think the first thing was just realizing why people come on the show in the first place. Because you see these beautiful, successful people and you think "why are you doing this?" And what I realized is, that's not the hard part, getting a date.
Donna: It's finding somebody you want to keep dating.
Chris: Yes! It's finding somebody you want to date twice. I guess I didn't realize. I was a little naïve and uneducated and being out there myself, it's finding somebody you want to date twice. And, coming on the show, you realize you're going to be around other pretty like-minded, successful … and I think that's definitely something I have a better understanding of now.
Donna: Do you find you have a better handle, also, on the vulnerability they feel? Like, some contestants can open up faster and commit to the process a little sooner, whereas others may be feeling all of these things, but they don't want to say anything, because it is a vulnerable place to be.
Chris: Yes. Because you think to yourself, I'm on the first or second date, you really see people putting themselves out there, telling pretty deep stories, and I'm thinking to myself … I don't know if I could do that yet. If I was on the show, would I be left behind? I definitely think about that. It does help me with my relationship with the bachelors and bachelorettes a lot more now when we sit down and have our deliberations, or even when we're just flying around the world, sitting in airport lounges together, you know, I can really talk to them about these guys and girls from a much more open perspective.
Donna: And a more immediate perspective, maybe, given you can more directly relate to what they're going through.
Chris: I'm glad I have both perspectives. You know, I had a wonderful, almost-20- year marriage, so I definitely know what the ultimate trophy is. I had an amazing experience, I have two beautiful children, and so I know that that is the prize, that is what we all want. I was there, and I would like to go back to the Super Bowl. And I want to help these people get there as well. So, yes, it gives me a much better perspective, and while I'm not exactly thankful for it, guess I'll take it.
Donna: I come from much the same place, having been a published author for the past 20-plus years, writing about relationships, about people falling in love from the perspective of being there, and (laughs) now, as a single person, also from the perspective of "wow, this is really hard."
Chris: (Laughs) Yeah, I'm sure there were some things I said over the last 10 years where I thought I was giving good advice and probably there were people out there dating thinking, "Sure, right. That's not what it's really like." Now I know.
Donna: So, with all of that, I know you have just this week launched a new dating app called At First Sight. I've had the chance to check out the video introduction on YouTube, and it looks wonderful and clever and seems right on point. Obviously, the show has brought a lot to your life in terms of thinking about dating and romance, and the past few years on a more personal level as well. So, how did you come at this? Why did you decide to do the app?
Chris: Mike Fleiss, the creator of the show, and I have talked about this for years. Many, many years. Pitching ideas back and forth, coming up with ideas. It just made so much sense to get involved in a dating site, with The Bachelor show and all, it was just good business sense. We thought that getting involved in a project of some kind with one of the already established online dating sites would be the best way and grow it from there. But the more we looked and dove into this, we just found them very antiquated. It seemed a huge step back from current technology, and the lessons we've learned from years of casting The Bachelor and Bachelorette.
Donna: One of the elements, speaking as a single adult who has tried online dating, that I liked was the video element you introduce with this app. Is that one of the specific things you wanted to do to make it more current, to modernize it?
Chris: Yes, we looked at the dating sites out there and, you know, you put up an old photo that we hope has been taken in the past 30 years, and there's this bio, like a piece of paper. Mike and I — we wouldn't even begin casting our show based on this, so why would people date like this? There's absolutely no way to find chemistry and find out if you're really interested in somebody. The way we do it on the show, we ask people very specific questions and you really get to know them. So what we've done with the app, is taken what we've learned on The Bachelor and Bachelorette when we cast the show, and what we know that you really want to see, is how people really find chemistry. And it's not a random video — hey, record yourself for 10 seconds — it's really a specific set of questions. If you watch the videos for any length of time — and I've watched a ton getting this going, I find it incredibly addicting and entertaining — you find people who really know where they are in life and they have a good job, maybe a child … and then there's those younger (people), maybe more looking to have fun, "I don't know where I am in life, let's go run with the bulls!"
(Chris and Donna both laugh.)
Chris: You and I kind of chuckle at that, because that's not where we are in life, but someone else will watch that and think, "That's exactly where I am!"
Donna: I think one of the things your app has, is that it can appeal to the 50-year-old and the 20- year-old. Was that something you thought about?
Chris: Well, obviously it's going to appeal first to the younger audience, but my hope and dream is that — it's only a few days old yet — but that it will filter out and catch a much older crowd. Because, what you're talking about is helping people find others with like interests, same station in life. I hope everybody will embrace it. I know a lot of moms and dads, just from my own perspective, from my kids' school, who are dating online. I tested and talked to a lot of people before we got into this. Again, we've been doing this for years, but it was also talking to people who use the sites, what the pros and cons were, even down to the safety and security issues. Wanting people to feel safe and secure using (the app). Most dating sites, you can get inundated with hits and just run off. It can be intimidating, like walking into Yankee Stadium and saying, "Hey, everybody, right here!" It's overwhelming, and it doesn't really work like that. You can't find chemistry like that. So we limited the amount of people you can view per day.
Donna: Oh, really? I didn't know that.
Chris: Right. You're not going to get 50,000 hits in one day. What if the person you really want to be with is in there, but they're No. 39,000? You'll never get to him. So we limit it to a certain number a day, so you can actually enjoy, actually watch. If you find somebody interesting, you can talk. If not, you move on to the next day. You can look at a picture and think, "She's cute, that's a person I'd want to date," but then you watch the video and learn, oh, wow, we're in very different places in our lives. That's something that on a lot of the other dating sites, would take the actual date — that first awkward coffee shop date —
Donna: The not-date date. The date interview date.
Chris: (Laughs) Exactly. "This has been a colossal waste of time. I could have solved this watching 20 seconds of a video." So I think what we're doing is taking the one or two first, very awkward coffee dates off the table, and saving you a ton of time and, again, making it more safe and secure, so that, by the time you're communicating, you have a really good idea who these people are.
Donna: Before our time is up, I want to get a little dish on the current season. It's been, shall we say, a little dramatic. We've had girlfriends coming back, tension in the house with Ben, and now we see that James is going to have a little bit of a spotlight this coming week. James gave an interview this week where he said that anyone who says they're on the show and not open to perhaps any number of opportunities is perhaps being less than honest. Anything you want to share, or can share, about what's coming?
Chris: Sure. I mean, obviously you see what's going on with Ben, and that's not going to get any better. Things aren't just black-and-white. Is he a bad guy? No. He's a great guy, especially when he's around Des. But he's different around the guys. You don't know what defense mechanism that is, where that comes from, but obviously when he's around the guys, he's uncomfortable and maybe a little insecure and acts so different. It comes off as pompous, rude, or whatever, but obviously there's a reason behind it. But whatever the reason, it just drives the other guys crazy. That will continue. The James deal is very interesting, because, I think it's going to raise a great debate, and kind of a dilemma for Des, and for everyone on the show, and watching the show. And that is, what are people's true intentions, and can you say something, and try to be honest about it, but feel a different way. You'll know what I mean when you see it. He says some things where he feels like he's in the cone of silence, concentrating on the other guys, but the thing is, these other guys are very protective of Des. They're falling for her quickly. It's really a good group of men.
Donna: The thing I've seen this season, is the guys seem extremely open to the process, they've really owned it, like "we're here, let's do this" really up for anything, open, thoroughly enjoying themselves. So far, anyway. It's early days, but they haven't been particularly aggressive, or testosterone-filled with each other, though I'm sure that will change as the numbers narrow. But, for now, they seem to be into it with Des, but also sort of bonding and pretty honestly enjoying getting to know each other as well. So I can see how James might have thought he was safe in saying whatever he wanted to, but when it gets down to it, it's either you or Des — who's going to win that confrontation?
Chris: Right. And that's the thing. James will definitely provide enough testosterone in the coming weeks for everybody.
(Chris and Donna both laugh.)
Chris: But these guys are really interesting. It's almost like the reverse, like we're doing The Bachelor with a bunch of bachelorettes, in that these guys have come in, and given themselves up to this. Early on, they're talking about really private and personal things. It's a very different dynamic than we've had in the past.
Donna: I've seen a difference in The Bachelorette this season, too. In Emily's season, she was this sweet, Southern girl, very down-to-earth, and viewers quickly took to her. Des was also very popular on her season of The Bachelor, is also very down-to-earth and the viewers love her, and yet she's also completely different from Emily. Viewers were very protective of Emily, whereas Des seems like she can really hold her own, and yet, viewers are also invested in her finding happiness. What is your take on the differences, and on Des?
Chris: With Emily, she did show she could hold her own, too.
(More laughing.)
Chris: But, yes, it was different, she was very sweet, very Southern, and — whether it's a double standard — when guys see a single mom, they are very protective. Des, early on, established control. The guys could tell right way that she's running the show. Sometimes when you do The Bachelorette, even though she's supposedly the one in charge, it's the guys who are still running the show. Des is really in control here.
Donna: Well, she sent a guy home the first night before the rose ceremony, then the girlfriend thing, and both happened early on. Was that what gave them the impression?
Chris: It was more than just that, it was how she handled it, too. Instead of being upset, distraught, crying, which has happened in the past with bachelorettes where they'll just be bawling, saying, "You're not here for the right reasons, just go!" Whereas Des was very matter of fact, very business-like about it. And I think the guys took notice of that.
Our time ran out then, but Chris did manage to let me know that Des' brother, who caused so much controversy during the last season of The Bachelor, does surface again later this season! My guess is it will be anything but calm and serene.
So, there you have it, Blog Babes! All the latest! Check back here Tuesday morning for the low-down (and it promises to be oh, oh so very low) on what happens on tonight's episode of The Bachelorette, airing on your happening ABC station at 8 p.m. ET.
In the meantime, if you check out the At First Sight app, dish a little on what you think about it. A new-and-improved path to finding love? Who's already making their videos? Tell me all!

Against All Odds, Paralyzed Puppy May Have the Chance to Walk
When the Georgia SPCA found a dog and her litter of two-day-old puppies on the side of the road, they weren't optimistic that the family would survive. The nursing mother was extremely sick and emaciated, so the family was immediately taken to an emergency vet. Miraculously, they all survived, and have all been adopted -- except one.
It didn't take long for the little family's foster to notice that something was different about Ivy, one of the puppies in the litter. One of her vertebrae didn't develop properly, and it is severely deformed to the point where it is squeezing her spinal cord, causing paralysis in her rear legs.
Carrie Ducote, Operations Manager for Georgia SPCA, says that Ivy is just like a regular dog. "She loves to play with other dogs, chase balls and lick faces. It's heartbreaking to watch her try to get around... you can see how frustrated she becomes just trying to walk a few feet. She whines and whimpers but never gets discouraged. I think she knows that she is not able to move like other dogs, but she truly doesn't let it bring her down."
A veterinary specialist has given Ivy and the Georgia SPCA hope for the young pup. They believe that with a special surgery and extensive physical therapy, Ivy will be able to walk on all four legs and live a normal life. With the public's help, the non-profit pet shelter was able to raise the funds needed for Ivy to have the expensive, but life-changing, surgery.
You can see a video of Ivy here.
This sweet puppy's story is heartbreaking, but she has a fantastic team behind her that's working to give that story a happy ending.

A Devon Peal aka 60 on thirds was rung before the carol service this afternoon. Conducted by Chris, the players were Bob, Janice, Keith, Martin, Nigel and Will,
December Sunday morning
First Sunday of the month means ringing for service at Chawton. Today we (Bethany, Bob, Chris, Janet, Janice and Keith) rang call changes combined with ringing up and down in threes.
Tomorrow will see the first Chawton practice in preparation for a full range of ringing in Chawton and Bentworth throughout December.
Combining towers
Over the last few weeks Chawton and Bentworth have joined forces, coming together for Sunday ringing and for Monday practices and this has proved greatly beneficial to both bands.
On Monday this week the practice was held in Chawton. Ten people turned up and we rang call changes, plain hunt, plain bob minimus, plain bob doubles and grandsire.
Excellent practice, admirably led by Chris Hurley from Bentworth.
First weekend ringing
Well, the bells were rung to mark the Wedding of Ophelia Hunter and William Turner on Saturday and again for service this morning but I'm afraid that's the best I can say about it. A rare visit to the ringing chamber by two of the leading lights of Chawton's "old" band, Les and Ann Human, enriched the atmosphere this morning.
Wedding Harris/Larcombe
Andy, Bob, Judy, Liz, Matt and Mike rang Call Changes and Plain Bob Doubles to celebrate the Wedding of Jemma Harris and Richard Larcombe this afternoon.
Spur of the moment practice
On Saturday we decided to hold a practice this evening and tonight Bethany, Bob, Imogen and Janice practised ringing up and down in peal and Bethany, Imogen and Janice all conducted full circle changes.
The Greyfriar benefitted from the revival afterwards and we met up with Martin and Janet.
Wedding – Gill/Johnson
Bethany, Bob, Chris, Janice, Keith and Rachel rang Call Changes for the wedding of Francesca Gill and Matthew Johnson this afternoon.

Teaching English abroad does not require you to be an expert or to have a degree in English. Most of what you learn about the more complex aspects of the language will be learnt on the job and will probably not be passed on to your students until you teach the higher ability levels. Anyone who is serious however, should take some time to get to know the basics beforehand. Our grammar guide is by no means the most detailed or comprehensive but it does give you an easy to understand overview of the important aspects of English grammar and will hopefully give you some basic knowledge to build upon.

Very enjoyable. You'll see some old equipment ranging from cranes to steam locomotives. There is also several former US Airforce locomotives operating on site. The personal is extremely warm and friendly. When it comes to museums I'm normally critical. This place is top notch. It is well worth deviating from I-77 at Hwy 34 in South Carolina.

Strain Highlights
Pitbull was bred in the early 2000s by U.S. seed company Stoney Girl Gardens as a cross between P-91 and their own award-winning Sugar Plum. This mostly indica strain has an extremely quick flowering time at 6-7 weeks. Just like the dog breed it's named after, this plant is tenacious, making it a versatile grower indoors or out that produces high yields. Buds will be light green and fragrant, smelling of tropical fruit with earthy, skunky notes. Pitbull's taste is also fruity and its indica buzz hits fast and hard.

"This strain should be called "Pain Be Gone"...I'm VERY impressed with it! I was suffering the queen mother of all migraines - the absolute worst I've experienced in years - as well as pretty bad nausea. Being on a self-imposed tolerance break, I've been taking pills all day and felt like I was getting zero pain relief. Nada. Zip. Zilch. All it did was make me feel doped up.

"Very euphoric but in a way where you still feel grounded, no anxiety or paranoia at all. The amazing high + sweet fruity smell/taste + high kief intake after grinding = current favorite strain. Pick it up if you ever see it for sure."

Mr Pena, known as "the runner" for his gruelling underground exercise regime, peered down on the city from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, the city's tallest structure.
Of particular interest from his viewing point 1,050 feet above ground was the route of the New York City Marathon, which he will run on Sunday.
Through binoculars, he looked out at Central Park, where the race will finish. "Very pretty," he said in Spanish.
The city has taken Mr Pena, 34, to its heart after he was invited to attend the marathon as a guest – but instead insisted on participating less than a month after his rescue.
And the Elvis Presley enthusiast won more fans after he sang a few lines in English from "Suspicious Minds", complete with hip-swivelling swagger, during an appearance on the Late Show hosted by comedian David Letterman.
Mr Pena was one of 33 copper miners who spent 10 weeks trapped underground after a catastrophic rockfall.
A fitness fanatic, he ran for several miles a day through subterranean tunnels using the weak beam of light from his helmet lamp. He has said he hopes to complete the marathon in under six hours.
He has accepted an invitation to visit Graceland, Presley's mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. And his US trip will be rounded off with a trip to Las Vegas to see "Viva Elvis," a Cirque du Soleil show.

The Rim fire continues to burn in and around Yosemite National Park, scorching more than 400 square miles, authorities said Monday.
The state's third largest fire began Aug. 17 and was 84% contained. Authorities said they hope containment lines and natural barriers will prevent the fire from spreading much more.
"It's creeping up into rock and natural barriers and so far it's holding well," said Sue Exline of the U.S. Forest Service.
Authorities said structures were no longer threatened and fire crews will no longer work at night. Exline also said that many firefighters will be released back to their home units over the next few days as the fire continues to die down.
Crews are mopping up hot spots and patrolling the fire lines, part of what Exline says "is the part of the fire that is so important, to ensure that everything is out."
On Monday, crews were expecting winds to die down, which will help keep any remaining parts of the blaze within containment lines. Full containment is expected Friday.
While nearly all mandatory evacuations have been lifted, the Forest Service said on its fire information website that some communities and areas, including O'Shaughnessy and Aspen Valley, "continue to be closed to public access due to a lack of power and ongoing mitigations of hazards caused by the fire."
The cost of battling the blaze has already reached $100 million. Officials have said that a hunter who lost control of his campfire caused it.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
Delta Air Lines Wednesday slashed fares by up to 50 percent in the most aggressive bid by a major airline so far to fend off cut-throat competition from low-cost carriers.
The nation's third largest airline is also slashing its fee for changing a flight from $100 to $50 and eliminating a restrictive rule that requires a Saturday-night stay.
"We view (discount airlines) JetBlue, Southwest and AirTran Airways as our principal competitors," Delta's Chief Marketing Officer Paul Matsen said.
Delta (Research) stock tumbled 7.5 percent in New York Stock Exchange trading on the news, which dragged other airline stocks lower as well.
Officials at Delta said the cuts would hurt revenue in the short run but that over time they hoped that an increase in traffic would offset that.
The price cuts sparked speculation that other major airlines will have to follow suit.
"We believe the whole airline industry will now have to move in this direction; this will likely hurt revenues in the short run but could be beneficial in the long run," Calyon Securities analyst Ray Neidl told Reuters.
Merrill Lynch analyst Michael Linenberg said industry-wide fare cuts could cost airlines as much as $3 billion a year, Reuters reported. The industry as a whole, hurt by higher fuel costs, is expected to lose about $6 billion overall this year.
Delta said one-way economy fares would not exceed $499 and the limit on one-way first class fare would be $599.
A one-way coach ticket from New York City to Jackson Hole, Wyo., was cut to $499 from $1,100. A first-class ticket from Atlanta to San Diego is now $599, down from $1,400.
Delta said it would unveil other changes, including leather seats, new lighting and revamped bathrooms on its planes. It also said it would improve its delta.com Web site -- which was slow to respond Wednesday due to a flood of visitors -- and change food options on flights, though it didn't give any details.
Most of the changes should be complete by mid-2006, the carrier said.
A spokeswoman for UAL Corp.'s United Airlines would only say the company is "studying" Delta's plan, dubbed "Simplifares." A spokeswoman for AMR Corp.'s American Airlines said no decision has been made.
Continental Airlines (down $1.06 to $11.14, Research) did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
A US Airways spokesman said the carrier already had similar fares on some of its most popular routes but declined further comment.
A spokesman for Northwest Airlines Corp., the No. 4 carrier, said the airline will continue to offer competitive prices but wouldn't comment further. The airline said Tuesday that the changes by Delta, if widely adopted, would hurt industry revenue.
Delta executives said even if other airlines followed their lead, the company still believes revenue will grow in the long term, although they admitted their bottom line would take an immediate hit.
"There will be a short-term revenue impact," Delta's Matsen said in a conference call Wednesday. "We expect it to transform our business nationwide."
Matsen pointed to a trial run of the program -- rolled out in Cincinnati in August -- that showed a 30 percent increase in traffic despite similar price cuts by other airlines. Executives would not provide any numbers on how much revenue would be impacted.
Delta averted a bankruptcy filing in October when its pilots agreed to take over a 30 percent cut in pay, which the airline said will save the carrier about $1 billion a year.
Other airlines under bankruptcy protection include UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, U.S. Airways, Aloha Air Group's Aloha Airlines and ATA Holdings Corp.'s ATA Airlines.
US Airways (down $0.07 to $1.07, Research) stock sank 6 percent, UAL (down $0.16 to $1.30, Research) tumbled 9.6 percent, Northwest (down $1.04 to $8.60, Research) fell more than 10 percent and AMR Corp. (down $1.00 to $9.01, Research) and Continental (down $1.05 to $11.15, Research) both lost more than 8 percent on the New York Stock Exchange.

A young man and woman were killed and another man was shot in the face at a Chula Vista apartment complex early Friday.
Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots just after 3 a.m. at the building on Oaklawn Avenue near H Street, police Capt. Gary Ficacci said.
When officers arrived, they found two bodies on a walkway between a cluster of buildings, Ficacci said. He said they appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s.
The man was slumped up against a wall next to the open door of an apartment, and the woman was lying a few feet away face down.
Ficacci said the dead man and the wounded one were brothers, and that one of them was visiting the other.
Scott Oliver, 28, who lives across the way from where the bodies were found, said he heard two or three gunshots and later saw the victims in the breezeway.
Oliver said the people who lived at the apartment had only been there for a couple of months.
He said it seemed like there were always several people at the home, and there was a lot of fighting and yelling.
"They were always loud and obnoxious," Oliver said.
Ficacci said police responded to a disturbance call at the same apartment two nights ago and are looking to see if that incident was related.
Detectives were still in the preliminary stages of the investigation. There were no suspects and no description of the shooter.
"We don't know why and we don't know who, and we have no leads at this time," Ficacci said.
The names of the two people who died are not being released pending notification of their families. Police have not said if they live at the complex.
The wounded man, who is 21, was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, police said.

Thick as thief: Burglar left his name and address at crime scene
A BUNGLING burglar left his name and address at the crime scene.
One of his victims found a folder with the tell-tale information on a bed.
Alden Holness, 36, had climbing through the bedroom window of a bungalow to steal jewellery.
Father-of-one Holness, of Bromsgrove, Worcs, was connected to two further burglaries and one attempted burglary by his fingerprints.
He pleaded guilty to all four charges and was jailed for 28 months.
Peter Grice, prosecuting, told Birmingham Crown Court: "The occupant found the window had been disturbed and noticed there were items on the bed that did not belong there.
"There was a folder containing paperwork with this defendant's name and address on.
"When his wife returned later, she found several items of jewellery worth £55 had been taken."
Tariq Rashid, defending, said that Holness had a long battle with drugs.

Windows Explorer problem
For reasons I can not understand any time i delete or move a file i have to refresh the windows explorer in order to see my changes. If i don't refresh the system will acknowledge that a change has taken place but I can't visually see it. Has anyone else come across this sort of problem or simply has an answer as to how to make my windows act normally again? Thanks.

gohardsupreme, yes this happens to me each time I delete an item. It acknowledges the move or change but like you say, it does not show visually to the eye until I back out of that screen and go look again(same as refresh). It acts this way every time I move or change an item. I will look at Jacee and Brink's link for an answer. Just letting you know It acts the same way here.
I am kind of afraid to mess with the registry so will keep following this until we get a fix. Thanks.

Copy the following red text, paste into a notepad window then save as "ForceRefresh.reg" (include the double quotes so Windows doesn't add .txt to the name.
Open Windows Explorer, navigate to where you saved it and double click on ForceRefresh.reg. Clieck yes when asked if you want to continue.
This does the same thing as you manually do at the link Brink provided.

On the road again!
After 4 weeks on tour, some ups and down and a helluva lot of sleep, here's what we are up to this month! Ill be writing a blog about our travels, but for now please peruse our upcoming Ontario dates.
x Ginger
Come celebrate the release of "One For The Money" with Ginger St. James and the full band! It's all happening at Mills Hardware (95 King St. East) on June 24. Advanced tickets just $12. Book now.
Early show: Doors at 7 with DJ Aerlie Wild spinning vinyl. Show at 8pm.
"With each release, the Hamilton singer gets more impressive." – Bob Mersereau, Top 100 Canadian singles
"A terrific set of songs that will firmly cement her reputation as a rising star of Country music. Highly recommended." – Jeremy Rees, On The Air (UK)
"Ginger makes no bones about it. Shes a serious country singer, old style, and it's great to know there are artists out there making "non pop" country…a surprisingly excellent release." – Bman's Blues Report
"A concise little package of roots music choc-a-block with country, blues, surf, soul, rock 'n'roll, and yes, rockabilly, influences. Either St. James has been very unlucky in her pursuit of romance, or she has an eye for detail: either way, her songs are well-crafted, multi-dimensional portraits of love and its vagaries." – Fervor Coulee, Roots Music Opinion
Flashback to 5 years ago when Ginger made her debut at the Lavigne Tavern. She's back this Saturday June 11th!

Thanksgiving Wishes
November 24, 2010 by staff
Thanksgiving Wishes, Thanksgiving is the celebration that is rich in traditions. Whether gathering with family, friends or neighbors, is the feast of the community.
Scharnweber clan, all adults living in their own houses still go home to La Grange Park Thanksgiving. Marcia (aka mom) said: "If I did not make that green bean casserole, I do not think they would come."
300 block of Catalina Avenue is a tradition that everyone on the block can participate at bringing together the elements to send troops, topics include chips, granola bars, Oreo cookies, soup, Campbell's Chunky Rice Krispies trafficking and magazines, among others. Each soldier she loves getting mail and really appreciate a letter of support, appreciation, a letter from the kids on the block, especially during the holidays. A neighbor has a box on the porch and has all the elements, along with monetary donations to cover shipping costs.
I have the feeling of Thanksgiving this year will return to simpler forms and simpler times. Is it the economy? Or the people who are tired of walking and want to enjoy the rest of the day's holiday to give thanks for what you have?
That feeling of wanting to keep what is near the penalty was confirmed when I visited Plymouth Place Senior Living? 315 N. LaGrange Road, and spoke to some residents.
Elaine Kennedy has lived in Plymouth Place Senior Living? For a little over a year. She is very happy there and even happier that his daughter lives in the area.
. "I'm going to my daughter's house for Thanksgiving; lives in Western Springs Five of the children shall be there. Home of two of the university and conducting a flight from New York Come to the table and state what we are grateful y. was fun when the children were young. "
Elaine is grateful for his family and friends and their health and geraniums still blooming on the balcony!
In talking with Dan and Raedell Pancake, the true meaning of Thanksgiving could not have been more sincere. Dan is currently in rehabilitation at Plymouth Place Senior Living and Raedell stays with him during his stay. They have five children.
"Our greatest gift is our family. We work on it, it takes practice," says Dan. "I can honestly say if they were our children, we still would love to have lunch with any of them. We have been blessed with a family that works."
This year, the tradition of the kitchen Raedell will change a little, all kids Pancake and their wives and / or boyfriends will come home to the residence of the top of the crepe in Willow Springs and cook dinner for their parents.
"We have a chef in the family and with new brides and grooms, one of Columbia, one in Mexico, we will have a variety of Thanksgiving at home, like Raedell wanted When you're a dear mother, your children honor their wishes."says Dan.
As with Elaine, the pancakes are very grateful for all they have. Health, family, friends, good food prepared with love. Happy Thanksgiving and all the blessings of the season!

|your cart is empty
Green Preservation Society Jay Averilla together with Richard Qureishi formed GPS in San Francisco in 2002. With Jay as songwriter, guitarist, on drum duties, and with Rich on bass, they wrote and recorded songs that eventually made their self-titled debut album. From the album's opening track 'Smile', currently gaining college radio airplay, their music is a blend of influences from psychedelic pop bands of the 60's to 90's shoegaze. Averilla's songwriting influences include the Beatles among many. With songs like 'Sunflower', 'Amsterdam' and 'Revolver' evoking the best of dreamy California pop, their sound ranges from jangle pop guitars in the tradition of the Byrds, Big Star and Teenage Fanclub to 60's and 70's rock, and to the psychedelic Britpop of Ride and the Stone Roses. With sonically diverse, inventive and well-crafted songs, GPS define their sound where melody and good songwriting are key. GPS brings it all together making music that is timeless - creating their brand for a new generation of rock music. Joining recently on drums is Alex Laipenieks (formerly of Overwhelming Colorfast and The Mr.T Experience) as the band plays shows around the San Francisco area.

Sunday, 20th June 2010
I have already visited almost the whole Faridpur by these two days. At the end of the second day, I have decided to visit the famous mosque from Pathrail(Patrail) of Bhanga Thana. This is known as "Pathrail Mosque". But to the local people, it has other names, and it will be easier for you to find the place if you remember the other twos.
People used to call this as "Dighir Par Mosque", also it has a name that is listed at Bangladesh government, "Majlis Awlia Mosque". This Mashjid has three domes at the top of it. After taking the mosque under the Archaeological Heritages of Bangladesh, the government did some furnishing task over the mosque, so that it doesn't collapse, or doesn't become a ruin.
This mosque was built during anytime between 1393 to 1410. The pundits are assuming that the mosque was built by the great ruler, Sultan Azam Shah. At the Southern side of the mosque, "Majlis Awlia Khan", the mosque was named after his name.
There is a majar just near the mosque. The mazar was formed using the name of "Mastan Darbesh Nazimuddin Dewan" and "Fakir Salimuddin Dewan". Once again, I don't like the concept of Mazar, thats why you won't see any photos of mazar here with the article.
There was a large Dighi(water tank) was created just near the mosque. The water tank was made to ease the water problem of the peasant. Thats why people used to call the mosque as "Dighir par jame moshjid".
If you wish to visit the place, you have two choices to pick. One is from Dhaka, and another one is from Faridpur. I'm showing you both of the paths. First of all, you have to reach the "Pulia" Bus stand before anything. If you are from Dhaka, then you have to first come at Mawa Ferri Ghat. To come from dhaka, you can use Bus "Elish" from Gulisthan. Then cross the river Padma using speed boat, launch, or ferry. After crossing the giant river, take any local bus, that will take you at "Pulia". It will take around 20-25 minutes to reach the bus stand.
If you are from Faridpur, then take any local bus from the old bus stand, or you can take the bus of Madaripur. Ask the bus driver to drop you at "Bhanga Point". From there, you have to take another local bus, that will drop you at "Pulia". It will be about 20 minutes from Bhanga to Pulia.
Now you are at Pulia Bazar Bus Stand. You have to take a Van from the bus stand, and it will drop you at Shimul Bazar. It will be around 8-10 taka fare. From the Shimul bazar you have to go at Pathrail Dighir Par Mosque. Its hard to get any van to take with you towards the mosque. So you can walk at the village path for 30 minutes, or you can wait to manage a van. I can suggest you, take a van anyhow, and when you'll return, use your feet for walk. The village is really wonderful for its scenic beauty.

Chemoil's Deliveries in GOM Reach 850,000 MT
SGX Mainboard-listed Chemoil (SGX-ST: CHEL.SI), physical suppliers of marine fuel products, has delivered more than 850,000 metric tons (mt) of marine fuels since the commencement of its offshore supply service in the Gulf of Mexico in August 2007.
Launched 22 months ago, Chemoil's marine fuel supply service via Ship-to Ship (STS) operations is supported by chartered tankers MY Atlantic and Nordic Ruth. With a combined storage capacity of 50,000 mt of marine fuel, the two tankers provide continuous supply to sufficiently meet current demand in the US Gulf, and have the ability to undertake more voyages or increase tonnage as demand warrants.
The operation provides for continuous supply coverage and service flexibility to very large crude carriers (VLCC) and smaller tankers in multiple locations including, but not limited to, Offshore Galveston, Texas and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP). Chemoil's delivery service has a zero-incident record.
This offshore bunker service filled a gap in the market by providing customers with the economic and operational benefits of combining lightering and refueling in one location instead of making costly and time consuming deviations to refueling locations like the Caribbean. Taking bunkers from an approved offshore STS zone has also enabled ship owners to avoid paying high barging fees and making bunker only calls in US and Caribbean waters.

Recently a friend told me, one of the special talents of mine that she never knew of is that I am an awesome tour guide. This compliment was bestowed upon me after I took her on a brief but detailed tour of Toronto Distillery District. It was my last day at work. One year two months, a bunch of success stories, three new friends and many many beautiful moments later I finally finished my journey with the Centre for Education and Training. The end was heart wrenching, I never thought it would be so painful to say goodbye.
Maybe you'll never know but I'll really miss you guys. And this goes to every single one of the CET people I have worked with. Please do know that I am not lying when I say I have a special place for each and everyone of you in my heart. I wish you all the best in life no matter what path life decides to take you on. :)

Catholic schools are unique, and only those who went through them can understand life there.
Here are 13 things you will only understand if you went to a Catholic school:
1. Prayers every morning.
They are compulsory. Miss a mass and you will have a date with the teachers and Priest.
2. Sacrament of reconciliation.
Also known as confession. They were scary, especially if you did something terrible and was afraid of telling the Priest.
3. Ash Wednesday.
The first day of Lent. You'd have a blob of ash on your forehead during the Holy Mass.
4. All Catholic schools have Chapels.
The morning prayers and confessions were held there.
5. Rosary prayers.
6. The dress code.
You'd get punished if you untuck your shirt.
7. You'd pray several times a day, even if you didn't want.
8. You always thought about the Holy Cross.
9. You always thought the devil was hidden everywhere.
Any unusual movement in your room at night made you think the devil was around.
10. No [email protected]:' education classes.
And you were told [email protected]:' before marriage is very a big sin.
11. You felt guilty if you broke any of the 10 commandments.
12. You believed God is the creator of everything.
And Science is a myth.
13. Most, if not all of your childhood friends went to Catholic schools.

In other news: Juve want Matic to replace Pogba
TURIN BOUND: Juventus are eyeing a move for Nemanja Matic.
Elsewhere in the world of football...
It only takes one move to set off the proverbial transfer merry go-round and it appears Paul Pogba could be the man to do so.
With reports that the Frenchman's move away from Turin is imminent, Juventus are eyeing Chelsea's Nemanja Matic as the man to replace Pogba, according to the Daily Mail.
Matt Barlow writes: "Nemanja Matic is the top target for Juventus as they search for Paul Pogba's replacement. Pogba is closing in on a move to Manchester United in a transfer which will set a new world record fee at more than £100million.
"Juventus will use the money to sign Argentine centre forward Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli and a midfielder in Pogba's athletic style. Matic is first choice for Massimiliano Allegri. Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko is on the list of alternatives for the Italian champions."

Ministry of Fashion – Golden Globes
The golden globes – the awards ceremony which showcases the celebrities before they have learnt from their mistakes. You see the tacky dresses from the wannabees, the mutton dressed as lamb and once in a Blue Moon someone gets it truly right.
This year that person was Lupita Nyong'o. She wore a striking red dress with cloak attached and after the recent SAG awards it is clear her good taste was not just a fluke, as once again she pulled it out of the bag. She has clearly found her way of capturing the fashion industry's eyes by wearing bold colours …read more

Club Reclamation is a place where vets from all military branches come, chill, grab a drink or meal and find like-minded folks with a story to tell, or problem to share or a soapbox to stand on. If you've served in the armed forces, chances are you'll find a friend who gets you and what you've been through at Club Reclamation, where everyone gets a second chance.
What if someone you trusted for years stole your child? What would you do to get him back? Former SEAL Maximus Delgado cannot accept never seeing his son again and sets out to find his son, Kevin. With the help of fellow vets and team members, he leads his team across North Carolina and beyond to find Helen Grant, the older woman who manages to stay one step ahead of them.
During the search for Kevin, Max and his team come across a body in a place Max had searched. With his fingerprints near the location of the corpse he becomes a prime suspect and seeks to find the murderer before his arrest. In a surprising turn of events, Max discovers he has room in his heart for one more. He refuses to stop searching until the real culprit is found and brought to justice for the murder at the beach.

I enjoyed the story and really got into the drama but, was irritated with the ending. Still it was nice and kept me interested. I'm a sucker for dad's protecting kids. I hope Erosa Knowles cranks out more audible stories soon. I think this is worth a listen.

By Rachel Hadley To post, or not to post, that is the question –
Brands are often criticized for participating in current events, especially with the rise of marketing these efforts through social media. With September 11 just a few weeks away, we find ourselves debating what to do on our social channels.
In 2002, Budweiser aired a commercial only once during the Super Bowl:
I can't help but think if it would have been received with the same positive light if Twitter had been around then. Or if the same type of tribute was posted to its social channels. Would it have received the backlash that AT&T received last year?
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is another recent example. Some would say brands participating in this event have hurt the cause rather than help it. If a brand can be true to itself, then why not? Take Old Spice, for instance:
When deciding whether or not to join the conversation, it's important to ask yourself the following:
- Why are we considering participating?
Are you really posting to spread awareness of an organization or to honor victims of a tragedy? Or are you purely marketing your brand?
- Does it make sense for our brand?
If there is an obvious tie-in to your business and a clear purpose of the post, go for it!
- Could it be seen as insensitive?
If the answer is yes, it will be important to determine the risk. Not everyone is going to like what you do, no matter how good your intentions are, but asking yourself this question could provide a good litmus test to determine whether or not you should join in the conversation.
How do you feel about brands participating in current events? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Kokrajhar, May 12: The spectre of violence loomed large over the Bodo heartland on the eve of the first round of elections to the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), the campaign for which was marred by mudslinging between the two groups of contenders led by former student leader Rabiram Narzary and interim council chief Hagrama Mohilary.
The divide in Bodo politics became evident when Mohilary and Narzary publicly indulged in a war of words despite being in the same party, the nascent Bodoland Peoples Progressive Forum (BPPF).
The genesis of the spat was Mohilarys support to some former militant comrades who are contesting the elections as Independent candidates. These contenders had been denied tickets by the BPPF, of which Narzary is president.
Mohilarys support to the dissident candidates prompted even the ex-BLT Welfare Society, which represents the former rebels, to ask its former chief to honour the principles of the fledgling party formed in collaboration with Absu.
Its secretary K. Brahma said Mohilary was a deserving candidate for the BTC chiefs post, but he could not take the liberty of going against the principles of the new party by backing Independent contenders for seats in the territorial council.
Narzary, however, made light of the crisis by describing it as a normal aspect of elections. He said the BPPF would convene a meeting after the elections to find ways to end the impasse.
The present crisis is temporary. It happens in all political parties and organisations. After the elections are over, we will continue working together and make the BPPF stronger, he told the media today.
Narzary, who previously headed the influential All Bodo Students Union (Absu), faces a tough contest in Banargaon, where he is pitted against Monoj Kumar Brahma, the former treasurer of the disbanded Bodo Liberation Tigers. Several other BPPF stalwarts are up against dissident candidates.
A senior police official did not discount the possibility of violence despite the comprehensive security arrangements. With both Absu supporters and former militants engaged in a game of one-upmanship, violence cannot be ruled out.
Inspector-general of police R.M. Singh said paramilitary personnel would assist the police in ensuring free and fair polls. Security arrangements are being monitored everyday. All vulnerable areas have been identified and placed under tight security.
The militant National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) has, however, washed its hands of the elections.
The fate of the 247 candidates in the battle of the ballot for 35 seats will be decided by an electorate of 16,14,869. The government has declared a local holiday in the BTC-administered districts tomorrow to enable people to vote.
Five candidates, including Mohilary and his deputy Chandan Brahma, have been elected uncontested. The ballots will be counted on May 18 and all the results are expected to be declared that very day.

Myles from Statwn Island Ny writes,
Can Termidor be used to treat springtails?
I want to treat my springtail problem with trenching the dirt and drilling the concrete adjacent to my house. Is Termidor the best insecticide to use? Thanks
Termidor SC is not labeled for springtails. We would recommend using a general insecticide such as Talstar P. You will mix 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.

I'm not starting a huge amount of seeds since our future move will make it difficult to transport seedlings from one house to the other.
Above: I decided to experiment with multiple seed-starting containers. In these re-purposed toilet paper tubes, I've sown parsley, thyme, and oregano. All sown on March 20.
Above: These are two views of the same tray of seedlings, all started on March 6 and sown inside a plastic flat (Burpee brand, but made from recycled plastic). I used a mixture of coconut coir and vermiculite to start my seeds. I'm trying to avoid peat moss, since it's not a renewable resource. This flat contains leeks, cauliflower, basil, several varieties of tomatoes, and mini eggplants. I also sowed a bunch of peppers, and they're finally starting to peek out of the soil. The largest seedlings--which you see in the 4 lower-right cells--are cabbage. They're starting to grow too large for their cells, so I transplanted them into larger containers this morning.
Above: I used yogurt containers to transplant the larger cabbage seedlings.
Above: This is the rosemary that I started in January in Jiffy pots (peat moss, I know, but I had these from a while ago). I used organic potting soil rather than seed starting mix, and they seem to be holding up fine. The sage seeds I started at the same time never germinated. I'm trying again, though, and sowed a few sage seeds inside toilet paper tubes.
I also sowed several seeds directly into my community garden plot in South Philly; spinach, arugula, snap peas, dill, lettuce, beets, and radishes all went into the ground last Saturday. I checked today, and it looks like only 1 snap pea is poking out of the ground. We did get to several nights of freezing weather, so I hope most of the seeds make it.
Unfortunately, we still have no reliable source of water for the garden, so I pay careful attention to the weather forecast. When there's no rain predicted, I will need to drive from my house to the garden in order to transport buckets of water. We hope to build some sort of water harvesting system, but that's made difficult by the fact that there are no accessible drain spouts.
Above: Two views of the Moore Street Community Garden. There is still a lot of work to be done: several beds need to be filled with compost; we need to mulch the walkways; we need to find a reliable water sources; and a few beds are still waiting to be built.
Above: Potential rain barrels, waiting to serve a purpose.
