Akin to Gothic (maurþr, "murder"), Old High German mord ("murder"), Old Norse morð ("murder"), Old English myrþrian ("to murder") and morþ.
The -d- in the Middle English form may have been influenced in part by Anglo-Norman murdre, from Medieval Latin murdrum from Old French murdre, from Frankish *murþra "murder", from the same Germanic root, though this may also have wholly been the result of internal development (compare burden, from burthen).

To effectively use any GUI toolkit, you have to understand its layout manager (or geometry manager). In Qt, you have HBoxes and VBoxes, in Tk you have the Packer and in Shoes you have stacks and flows. It sounds cryptic but read on--it's very simple.
A stack does just as the name implies. They stack things vertically. If you put three buttons in a stack, they'll be stacked vertically, one on top of each other. If you run out of room in the window, a scrollbar will appear on the right side of the window to allow you to view all of the elements in the window.
Note that when it's said that the buttons are "inside" of the stack, it just means they were created inside of the block passed to the stack method. In this case, the three buttons are created while inside of the block passed to the stack method, so they're "inside" of the stack.

Already Sold-Out $3.9M Most Expensive Lamborghini Veneno celebrates 50th anniversary of Automobili Lamborghini
Named after one of the fastest, strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever, here's an ultra-exclusive Lamborghini Veneno, a road-going Italian super sports car and racing prototype which will celebrate its first-ever public appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show as a tribute to the Automobili Lamborghini's 50th anniversary. Limited to just 3 unique examples to be built and sold for as much as $3.9 million, the Lamborghini Veneno boasts a design focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornering stability, giving this powerful machine the real dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet making it fully homologated for the road. After already being sold to customers at a price of $3.9 million, this street-legal racing car becomes the world's most expensive Lamborghini which with a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a whip of 2.8 seconds, while offering the top speed of 355 km/h.
Notably, the Veneno took benefits from Italian automaker Automobili Lamborghini's special expertise which the brand uses in the development and execution of carbon-fiber materials, as the car's complete chassis is produced as a CFRP monocoque, as is the outer skin.
And on the inside too, this extreme super sports car features innovative, state-of-the-art Lamborghini-patented finest materials, including Forged Composite and CarbonSkin, to name a few.
Bringing the aerodynamic efficiency of a racing prototype to the road, the Veneno's front end has been laid out for perfect airflow and downforce.
And just like the front, the Veneno's rear has also been optimized for underbody aerodynamics and high speed cornering stability.
Equipped with center mountings, the exclusive alloy-wheels measures 21-inches at the rear and 20-inches at the front.
The Veneno is painted in an all-new, grey metallic-look color with individual parts gleaming in the black of the visible carbon-fiber structure. And the only car to display all three colors of the Italian flag as an accent is the one that will be unveiled at the Motor Show in Geneva, the unit which will remain the property of Lamborghini.
The three cars sold to customers each feature a single color of the Italian national flag, together a triology in green, white and red accents and thus representing each a unique piece.

Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat is a fat burner sold by Magnum Nutraceuticals. We found the supplement listed on the Bodybuilding.com website with a complete list of ingredients in label form. All of the ingredients are listed in proprietary blends. This means the company has chosen to hide the ingredients from the dieter. When a company hides the ingredients, we can't help but think there is not enough of each ingredient to be proven effective.
List of Ingredients
- Thermogenic Ignition Matrix:
- Citrus Aurantium
- Raspberry Ketone
- Ginger Root
- Green Tea Leaf
- Camellia Sinesis Leaf
- Black Pepper Extract
- Capsaicin
- Energy Sustaining Agents:
- Guarana Seed Extract
- Kola Nut Seed Kernel
- Cocoa Seed
- Coffee Bean Powder
Adaption Blend:
- Yerba Mate Leaf
- Damiana Leaf and Stem
- Organic Maca
- Rhodiola Crenulata
- Panax Ginseng Root
- Guggulsterone E&Z
Appetite Suspension Blend:
- Naringin
- Hoodia Gordonii Powder
Circulation Matrix:
- Schizonepeta Spica
- White Willow Bark Extract
Product Features
The majority of the ingredients in Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat are stimulants. Spread across all matrix blends are caffeine, citrus aurantium, green tea leaf, kola nut seed, coffee bean powder and yerba mate leaf. All of these ingredients provide a source of caffeine or a stimulant. The most dangerous of the stimulants is citrus aurantium – synephrine. Synephrine is a cousin of ephedra with all the same side effects without the proven metabolism-boosting benefits. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been watching synephrine for a number of years. Reports of health problems associated with this ingredient could mean the FDA is short-listing synephrine as the next supplement ingredient to ban.
Just as important as boosting metabolism is reducing appetite. Magnum Nutraceuticals Heal utilizes Hoodia Gordonii as an appetite suppressant. Clinical trials of hoodia prove the ingredient is useless as an appetite suppressant. The clinical trials compared the effects of hoodia and a placebo. The dieters taking hoodia lost no more weight than those taking the placebo. P57, the active ingredient in hoodia, is metabolized before it can reach the brain to signal a feeling of fullness. Even when P57 was injected directly into the muscle, appetite was not depressed.
- Bodybuilding.com lists all ingredients in Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat.
- Caffeine is clinically proven to boost energy and metabolism.
- We have no idea how much caffeine is in the supplement.
- All ingredients are listed in matrix blends – hiding the amounts.
Magnum Nutraceuticals Heat is an energy booster, but it is not a safe fat burner. The dieter needs to know how much caffeine is included in the supplement, especially dieters sensitive to caffeine.

Was assassination the first goal? The general consensus today is that the first goal of the conspirators had been to kidnap the President. A few attempts to kidnap Lincoln fell through, and then the Confederacy surrendered to the North. Booth's thoughts turned to killing the President. Up until recent times, however, there was a great deal of speculation as to the existence of an abduction plot. Some people felt it might be used to exonerate the hanged conspirators. Even the judge advocates feared talk of an abduction plot might lead to an innocent verdict for some if not all of the conspirators. They are believed to have suppressed important evidence such as John Wilkes Booth's diary. (Hanchett, The Lincoln Murder Conspiracies, 107) On the other side, some people argued for the existence of a kidnapping plot because it bolstered their desire to connect Booth with a larger conspiracy masterminded by the Confederacy. With the abduction plot established, the question remains: Who was actually behind and involved in the assassination of the President?
The Simple Conspiracy Theory
The simple conspiracy in its most basic form states that Booth and a small group of friends at first planned to kidnap the president. This eventually resulted in assassination. In fact, the conspirators were to also assassinate Vice-President Johnson and Secretary of State Seward at the same time dealing a major blow to the government of the United States. Their goal was to give the South a chance to rise again. Booth saw himself as a hero. In his diary, John Wilkes Booth claimed that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and that Booth should be praised just as Brutus was for killing Julius Caesar. (Hanchett, 246) When Abraham Lincoln Secretaries Nicolay and Hay wrote their ten-volume biography of Lincoln in 1890 they "presented the assassination as a simple conspiracy." (Hanchett, 102)
The Grand Conspiracy Theory
Even though personal Secretaries of Lincoln presented the simple conspiracy as the most likely scenario, they acknowledged that Booth and his co-conspirators had 'suspicious contacts' with Confederate leaders. (Hanchett, 102). The Grand Conspiracy theory focuses on these connections between Booth and Confederate leaders in the south. Many variations exist of this theory. For example, it has been said that Booth had contact with Confederate leaders in Canada. It is worth noting that in April 1865 President Andrew Johnson issued a proclamation offering a reward for the arrest of Jefferson Davis in connection with the Lincoln assassination.
He was arrested because of the evidence by an individual named Conover who was later found to have given false testimony. The Republican Party also allowed the idea of the Grand Conspiracy to fall by the wayside because Lincoln had to be a martyr, and they did not want his reputation sullied with the idea that anyone would want him killed but a madman.
Eisenschmil's Grand Conspiracy Theory
This conspiracy theory was a fresh look at the Lincoln assassination as investigated by Otto Eisenschiml and reported in his book Why Was Lincoln Murdered? It implicated the divisive figure Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Eisenschiml purported that the traditional explanation of Lincoln's assassination was unsatisfactory. (Hanchett, 157). This shaky theory is based on the supposition that General Grant would not have changed his plans to accompany the President to the theater on April 14th without an order. Eisenschiml reasoned that Stanton must have been involved in Grant's decision because he is the only person other than Lincoln from whom Grant would have taken orders. Eisenschiml goes on to offer ulterior motives for many of the actions Stanton took immediately after the assassination. He supposedly left one escape route out of Washington, the one Booth just happened to take. The presidential guard, John F. Parker, was never punished for leaving his post. Eisenschiml also states that the conspirators were hooded, killed and/or shipped off to a remote prison so they could never implicate anyone else. However, this is exactly the point where Eisenschiml's theory collapses as do most other grand conspiracy theories. Several of the conspirators had ample time and opportunity to speak and implicate Stanton and numerous others if a grand conspiracy truly existed. (Hanchett, 180) They were questioned many times during captivity and in fact were not hooded through the entire trial. In addition, after being pardoned and released from prison, Spangler, Mudd and Arnold never implicated anyone. One would think that men reported to hate the Union would relish the thought of toppling the leadership of the United States by implicating Stanton, one of the men instrumental in the South's destruction.

Here is a video that shows you to make you own rain barrel system for harvesting rain water.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
With all the talk of saving water, I have not seen a suggestion to save rain water. Why let it run into the street? You can buy special rain water savers but why not make your own. Direct your drain spout into a large garbage bin and siphon the water out with a hose to where ever you want to water.
By Ann
Make your own rain barrels with what you have, practically free. My husband asked around at local companies and came up with white plastic barrels. The rest he already had in his shop. He then connected them to our gutters and added a spigot at the bottom, to let gravity feed the water out. He even put screen where the gutter goes into barrel to keep out trash. He connects the water hose to spigot and waters the flowers. We waste less water and always have extra water for the flowers. They don't look bad either, you could paint them if you like. It's been dry in NC and every drop of water saved is an advantage and we don't have to water from our well.
By Wanda from Climax, NC
If you have a downspout on the side of your house or garage that directs water away from your house, you're potentially letting a big part of your water bill wash down the rain gutter. Just 1 inch of rain on a 1000 sq ft roof yields a whopping 62.3 gallons of water! While this water might not be fit for human consumption, reclaiming it for use on the yard and garden make good financial and environmental sense.
The total cost for this project is about $50 for materials (assuming you have the drill). This cost can be reduced considerably if you scour re-use centers or junkyards for used parts.
1. Start by finding yourself a 55-gallon or larger plastic barrel. Try to locate a food-grade barrel or one that has never been used. There are several companies that use plastic barrels and sell them or give them away when they are finished. Check with recycling centers, re-use or industrial material exchange centers or try calling companies direct. There are several companies on the web that sell them (including online auctions), but you can usually find them cheaper locally. Select one without a cover. You're going to make your own.
2. Once you have your barrel you need to fashion a cover for it. This is essential for keeping out mosquitoes, keeping wildlife safe and filtering out plant debris that washes off your roof when it rains. Make the cover by cutting a piece of window screen large enough to fit across the opening. Cut the screen so that it's at least 1 1/2 times bigger than the mouth of the barrel. Secure the screen to the top of the barrel with the bungee cords. Fit the cords tightly around the lip of the barrel so they hold the screen in place. If you want to, trim off any excess screen with a scissors. Caution: This cover is not designed to keep children out. Never let children play around the rain barrel unattended!
3. For dispensing water, drill a hole near the bottom of the barrel with an electric drill. This is where you will attach the faucet spigot. Drill a small hole and use an Exacto knife to gradually increase the size in order to fit the faucet. Widen it just to the point where the threaded end of the faucet can be twisted into the hole. Tip: If your faucet is too low to fit a bucket underneath, attach a small piece of garden hose on the end to dispense water more easily.
4. To seal the area with O-rings, place one on the outside, insert the spigot and place the other one on the inside. Use the electrical nut to secure the O-ring use for the interior. If desired, apply silicon caulking around the area to ensure a tight seal.
5. Place the concrete blocks side by side and use them to elevate the rain barrel off the ground. Or if you prefer, place the barrel on top of two circular stepping stones. This will not give you as great of water pressure, but it will make the barrel more inconspicuous.
6. Adjust your downspout to direct water into your rain barrel. If cutting it is not possible or it is hard to work with, purchase a plastic downspout instead.
Variations: If you want to try some variations on this design, consider adding a second hole near the top of the barrel for attaching an overflow hose ( like the barrel pictured above). You can also add a second hole to the bottom and use a hose to attach a second barrel if you find you need to expand your collection system.

Here are questions related to Make Your Own Rain Barrel.
Looking for creative ways to harvest rain. Rain barrels used to be a dime a dozen, but now that environmentalism is all the rage, it has driven the price way up on previously discarded industrial barrels. I'm looking for truly innovative ideas, not just using ready made products like trash cans.

Any trash can ideas for small pond?
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
First, cut out the hole in the top, then drill out a hole near the bottom and reach in and attach the faucet parts. There will be a nut on the inside and the faucet on the outside. Run a bead of silicone caulk to make sure nothing leaks. We had the hardware cloth on hand and used small zip ties to attach it. It doesn't keep mosquitoes out, but with three preschoolers in our family, we were more concerned about keeping them out than keeping mosquitoes out. If that isn't a concern for you, you can use window screen for the top.
Our downspout was loose, so we removed the bottom section of pipe, pulled it out from the wall a little, and put the barrel up under it and rested it on some stacked bricks for a gravity flow. I've also seen barrels in my neighborhood with the downspout pipe shortened and directed to flow through the mesh into the barrel.
After the winter thaw and things warmed up, there was a lot of algae growing in the barrel's standing water. The garden plants don't care!
By Katie from Gallup, New Mexico
By imaqt1962
By Joyce wis
We have purchased barrels for $5 from a car wash supply. Bear in mind that some of the chemicals that were in them are toxic. If possible, go for the ones that just held soap, and then triple rinse (at least!)
With West Nile being the problem that it is, could you add window screen over the hardware cloth? Also, if you never drain it completely, adding a couple of inexpensive goldfish to eat the mosquito larvae and algae can be very beneficial.
Speaking of algae, I have learned the hard way that some kinds can cause serious damage to animals, so be careful if you've got an accumulation, that animals (and kids) can't get into the water for a drink.
We used to live on a farm where the older couple who homesteaded it were the very definition of "thrifty". They had gutters set up on a small barn, and by moving one piece to different tanks, we could fill up three horse water tanks with a total capacity of about 900 gallons. Considering that the well water was no good and all water had to be hauled from town, that made a HUGE difference. Most people don't realize that the amount of water that comes off a normal roof in a normal rain is incredible! (06/07/2007)

Just bought this album Jimi Tenor & Tony Allen "Inspiration Information" … and it is really brilliant! Jimi Tenor is mostly known for his avantgarde club/electro/industrial sound (in the 80′es he apparently created homemade instruments from metal garbage found in dumping grounds). Tony Allen on the other hand is a famed Nigerian afro-beat drummer (most recently he was part of Damon Albarn's "The Good, The Bad and The Queen" band – they have split up unfortunately, but released one fantastic album in 2007) Anyway, Jimi Tenor & Tony Allen's collaboration is a really original,quirky and quite captivating recording! Listen to some of the tracks on the album's website here. Also; check out Strut Recordings for other releases in the Inspiration Information series, ex. Horace Andy vs. Ashley Beedle. Nice!

Times West Virginian
It took the better part of 11 minutes for Fairmont State's Lady Falcons' offense to heat up here on a cold afternoon at the Snyder Activities Center.
However, when FSU's offense did catch fire, it torched Ohio Valley and cruised to a 68-46 victory over the Lady Fighting Scots.
Fairmont managed just nine points in the game's first 11 minutes and found itself trailing winless Ohio Valley 11-9 with 8:57 left in the opening half. A 15-foot jumper by FSU's Hailey Garrett at the 8:51 mark ignited the spark in Fairmont, which resulted in the Lady Falcons outscoring OVU 29-5 during the remaining time in the opening half to take a commanding 38-16 lead at the break.
Garrett and Briana Welch keyed the dominating 29-5 run to end the half for Fairmont. Both players scored 10 points apiece on the spurt. Garrett finished with a team-high 16 points and six rebounds, while Welch contributed 14 points.
"We did have a slow start and we knew for us to have success we needed to play faster," said Welch, who has reached double figures in three straight games now for the Lady Falcons, who improved to 7-3 overall and to 5-1 in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with the win. "Coach Mac (Steve McDonald) wanted the game to go up and down the floor. We didn't do that early, but we got together, got after them defensively and changed the tempo there in our favor which resulted in us finishing the half strong.
"Our plan was to press and trap them right from the start and we didn't do a good job of that early. Once we were able to do that, though, things just turned in our favor."
Fairmont's defense was dominating in the first half. The Lady Falcons held Ohio Valley to just six total field goals in the first 20 minutes, including just one in the last 8:56 of the opening half.
FSU then opened the second half on a 10-2 run to establish a 30-point, 48-18, advantage with 17:46 remaining and for all intents and purposes the contest was over.
"We were trying to get the game to go up and down the floor in the first eight, nine or 10 minutes but they were playing a halfcourt game and as a result the tempo was just very slow," said McDonald. "Around the nine-minute mark we made one or two plays there which just ignited us. When we rebound, move the ball and play fast we tend to play better and you saw that there in the last nine minutes of the first half.
"We started the second half right where we left off and got an even bigger lead and then we were able to get everyone in the game today which is always nice. I like the way some of our bench players performed in extended minutes. This was a nice team win for us."
Fairmont forced OVU to commit 30 turnovers and held the Lady Fighting Scots to just 34.7 percent shooting from the field (17-of-49), including a dismal 1-of-17 showing from 3-point range. Ohio Valley, which fell to 0-10 overall and to 0-5 in the league, also missed 12 free throws in the loss.
FSU, on the other hand, was balanced in both scoring and rebounds. As noted, Garrett and Welch led FSU with 16 and 14 points respectively. The Lady Falcons also got 12 points, five rebounds and five assists from Kaitlin Snyder, nine points, six rebounds and five assists from Hallie Gunnoe and eight points and six boards from Tiffany Nicholson.
Ohio Valley had two plays record double-doubles in the loss, but their efforts weren't nearly enough against the balanced Lady Falcons. Jasmine Gibson led OVU with a game-high 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Kayla Parsley chipped in 10 points and a game-high 15 boards.
Fairmont State's women will be back in action Monday evening when they return to the Joe Retton Arena to host Seton Hill (Pa.) University for their first home game since Dec. 8. That contest, which is the first of a doubleheader, has been moved from 5:30 p.m. to a 4 p.m. start. FSU's men will then tangle with Seton Hill at 6 p.m.

Subtle DR issues lurk around every corner
To meet recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives, strong DR practices depend on meticulous attention to detail. Services professionals I spoke with pointed to the following common areas where this discipline is lacking:
- DR sites are often too close together. I heard several stories of large companies with DR facilities a few miles from production data centers. This model usually had historical roots to when a "disaster" equated to a hard disk crash.
Back in the good old days, you could put your storage professionals in a car and drive them across town to grab some backup tapes. Unfortunately, today's disasters aren't as quaint. Storage professionals need to think in terms of events like Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina. Geographic separation is important when an entire area is out of commission and employees are too busy protecting their families to show up for work. This is such an important detail that the SEC once suggested (and nearly mandated) that DR facilities should be located hundreds of miles apart. If your DR facility is a short drive away, you'd better find a more distant location, pronto.
- DR is built around systems not business applications. Storage professionals are trained to ensure that data is available, but raw data isn't very useful without the
- applications that turn ones and zeros into business processes. To obviate this problem, storage professionals need to map data, files and LUNs to applications to understand data value and properly plan recovery, and then work with IT to establish a map of application interdependencies. This will help to ascertain the data's value and set the process for seamless recovery.
- Testing is too high level. This results from an IT- and storage-centric perspective. I heard numerous stories about how storage professionals did regular DR testing of their storage and system infrastructure, but not all the way up to the application layer. Restoring business applications is certainly a harder task, but ask yourself this question: "Does anything else really matter?"
To me, the downside to the ever-lower price of magnetic disk is the challenge of managing data. Service professionals I spoke with reported that most people have a very limited knowledge about what they have stored and where it lives. Common scenarios include:
- Loads of garbage. I heard identical stories from two different service providers after each one performed a storage assessment to determine the actual content being stored on an enterprise-class storage system. One found an IT administrator's complete music library, while the other found a terabyte of porn. To some extent this waste is understandable as it costs more to police disk utilization and content than it does to just let it go. Nevertheless, an employee's private terabyte directory is a bit excessive. This is especially true when it contains offensive material that could lead to legal trouble. Companies should adopt acceptable-use policies with strict penalties, but the storage team is a last line of defense. Audit storage content on a regular basis to avoid legal problems and unnecessary capital spending.
- Confidential data proliferation is out of control. Many storage professionals have no clue as to how many copies of confidential data exist across the enterprise. One service company told me of an incident where they showed a distraught storage executive 12 copies of the payroll file. To be fair, this isn't solely a storage problem--it's chock full of user access, data replication and privacy policy issues. Nevertheless, the storage team needs to be a part of the solution by proactively monitoring data movement and embracing information lifecycle management tools as they become available.

Lake City —
A Wellborn man was killed in a traffic crash late Friday night on I-10 in Columbia County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Robert Allen Bowmer, 35, Wellborn, was killed after being ejected from a vehicle he was driving, according to FHP.
Bowmer was westbound on I-10 in a 2004 Ford Expedition at mile marker 297 around 11:34 p.m. in the inside lane when he allowed the Ford to travel across the outside lane and onto the north shoulder. Bowmer over-steered the Ford back to the left which caused it to rotate in a counterclockwise direction and travel back across both westbound lanes and enter the median.
The Ford continued its counterclockwise rotation in the median and then overturned numerous times, ejecting Bowmer, who was not wearing a seatbelt, in the process, according to FHP.
Bowmer was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Moving from NYC to Denver
Hi -
I currently work in the media industry in NYC, but am looking to move to the Denver area within the next 2 months. While my time and experiences in NYC have been great, I am looking for a better quality of life and change and pace, and Colorado seems like the perfect fit.
I would appreciate any advice and welcome the opportunity to talk with someone in the media/advertising industry about their experience in the industry.
Please feel free to email me directly, thanks!
Leah Lesko
Don't do it. If you want to have a good career stay in NYC life for designers is much better there. Unless you want world class skiing, never mind this season skiing sucks too.
seems like a good amount of media jobs coming back. email sent.

The Conservatory instructs students of all ages and skill levels in ballet, pointe, modern,contemporary, jazz, tap, acrobatics, musical theater and hip-hop style dance, in a state-of-the-art facility in East Longmeadow Massachusetts. Students may choose a pre-professional, competitive, or recreational course of study.
With decades of experience in jazz, tap, lyrical, and hip-hop dance to go with teaching certifications from Dance Masters of America, the instructors at All-Stars Dance Center help students glide and stomp through classes in a variety of styles. They work with students of all abilities, refining skills in age-appropriate subject areas such as boys' hip-hop, tiny tots, and adult tap. Aside from the regular class schedule, special programs in competitive dance and musical-theater training afford committed dancers the opportunity to learn performance techniques such as jazz hands and the classical worm.
When they aren't leading formal dance lessons, the studio's instructors guide adults through Zumba and yoga workouts. All classes take place on the hardwood floors of a professional studio that features three air-conditioned dance rooms, a waiting room, and viewing windows through which tennis shoes gaze jealously at their sleeker counterparts.
Arthur Murray's experienced instructors and owners, including some who have worked with shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars, stand ready and waiting to teach students in the ways of balance and coordinated rhythmic motion. Bring a partner to your two private lessons or fly solo and dance with your instructor. In either case, you'll leave with a greater understanding of the dance style of your choosing. These lessons are ideal for a betrothed pair prepping for the big wedding dance or a fledgling fitness seeker looking for a fun new way to get in shipshape. Stick to a stately waltz, spicy up life with a rumba, or feel vibrant and playful with a few swing steps in your personal repertoire. Whether you're an experienced dancer hoping to brush up on certain techniques or you have two left feet for feet and two right feet for hands, private lessons at Arthur Murray Dance Studio offer bountiful, dance-based benefits. This Groupon also allows dancers to stop in for two group classes to put their newly acquired skills to the test.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.
Certified by the Professional Dance Vision International Dance Association, Van Dance's graceful groove gurus walk pupils of all experience levels through ballroom and Latin dance sessions. Under the tutelage of competitive dancers Nicole and John van Koetsveld, students of South American shimmying can learn to unleash passionate tangos, jubilant cha-chas, and seductive sambas, and aspiring waltzers can study how to count to three. For those lacing up their dancing shoes for the first time, Van Dance recommends sampling the American-style of smooth and rhythm dancing, since it utilizes many of the most fundamental moves and comes in handy at common social dance events and tense test rooms for the Connecticut Bar exam. Most classes take place on evenings from Tuesday through Friday (check out the schedules for February and March.
Ellen Seelen's dance career has taken her from sashaying across cruise ships to high-kicking on stage with Frank Sinatra and Jerry Lewis. At US Dance Club, Ellen shares a lifetime's worth of dance acumen through detailed group and private lessons. Ellen and her fellow instructors introduce students to an international array of ballroom dance styles, including tango, samba, and the waltz, as well as country western and line dancing.

"It just happened to be our year" – OC wins NAIA men's tennis title
Members of the Oklahoma Christian men's tennis team pose with the traditional red NAIA championship banner after beating No. 1 Fresno Pacific 5-4 on Saturday in the title match.
By Murray Evans
MOBILE, Ala. (May 19, 2012) – The tennis Oklahoma Christian's Bruno Tiberti was playing in the decisive match of the NAIA Championship was, by all accounts, not a thing of beauty – unless you happened to be wearing maroon on Saturday afternoon.
Tiberti, the No. 1-ranked player in the NAIA, rallied from a 4-1 third-set deficit with the national championship on the line, winning the final five games to lift No. 3 OC past No. 1 Fresno Pacific (Calif.) 5-4 at Copeland-Cox Tennis Center.
"I'm not sure how we pulled it out," said OC coach Kris Miller, who earlier in the week was named as the Wilson-Intercollegiate Tennis Association NAIA Men's Coach of the Year. "We just kept saying all week, 'Just believe, find a way.' And we did. Our kids are incredible student-athletes.
"It just happened to be our year, I think."
OC (20-3) won the second NAIA men's tennis title in the program's history, having also won in 2003. It was the fifth team national championship for the university and the second during the 2011-12 academic year, as OC's men's cross country team won the NAIA title last November. It's the first time in OC's history two of its teams have won national titles during the same academic year.
But the tennis championship wouldn't have happened without two gritty comebacks. In the semifinals against No. 2 Embry-Riddle (Fla.) on Friday, OC trailed 3-0 and 4-1 before rallying to tie the match, then Jaime Sanchez-Canamares came from 3-1 down in the third set to beat his opponent at No. 3 singles and clinch the win.
The exhausted Tiberti did the same on a hot, humid Saturday with temperatures in the 90s. Down 4-1 in the third set to Xavier Smith, he summoned the strength to win the final five games and take the decisive match 4-6, 7-5, 6-4, setting off a raucous celebration by the Eagles.
"It's not that good to express my emotions right now," said Tiberti, who after the match was named as the NAIA's Ward-Ballenger Outstanding Player. "I can't. I just can't. We worked so hard. They are better than us, but we knew we could get some points if we put pressure on them at the top singles and the doubles.
"It just happened. I don't know how. I was losing, I was done. I said, 'I've got to push some more.'"
Aesthetically, it wasn't pleasing, but it proved effective for Tiberti and the Eagles.
Tiberti's rally followed a key win by Sanchez-Canamares, who beat Cledson Carvalho 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6) at the No. 3 singles position to tie the match at 4-4. It was one of three matches the Eagles won by taking a decisive tiebreaker. It was the second straight team title for Sanchez-Canamares, who played last year for Fresno Pacific's championship-winning squad.
"Both of them were just pure guts," Miller said of the wins by Sanchez-Canamares and Tiberti. "They had nothing left in the tank. It was all just heart. Jaime came up with some big plays at just the right time. He played big, played strong to finish.
"And Bruno, classic example of winning ugly. Doesn't matter what it looks like, doesn't matter how you play as long as you're playing to win. He found a tactic that was working. It was ugly to everybody but me. It was beautiful tennis."
OC scratched out a 2-1 lead over the Sunbirds during the doubles matches. Fresno Pacific (25-2) scored an easy win at No. 2, as Kirill Sinitsyn and Nathan Martinet beat OC's Pier Pieracciani and Nicolas Auruccio 8-1. But OC won tiebreakers in the other two matches.
Sanchez-Canamares and Renardy Guelfi beat Amarit Sanchez and Lloyd Bruce-Burgess 9-8 (7-5) at No. 3, and a few minutes later, Tiberti and Martin Poboril won a tiebreaker 7-2 to finish off a 9-8 win.
"The match felt funny during the doubles," Fresno Pacific coach Neil Castro said. "When you lose two tie-breakers and you win one at No. 2, 8-1, easy, it just had a funny feel to it.
"Coach Miller does a great job with his guys. I think they just wanted it a little more than us today. They just out-competed us. I think maybe we were more talented, they just out-competed us."
Four of the six singles matches were decided in straight sets. Poboril beat Sinitsyn, 6-4, 6-4, with the Sunbirds winning at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6.

We created a different and better way to make polarized lenses. Instead of gluing layers onto a lens, we take a powerful polarized filter and form the lens around it with Plutonite®, our proprietary polycarbonate superhero. The result is a lens that's clear enough to be used by world-class athletes worldwide and strong enough to stop a high-speed projectile dead in its tracks.
Glare protection and clarity. With Oakley HDPolarized sunglasses, you can have both.
Coming Unglued.
A Sticky Situation.
There are sunglasses out there made with glue–not the white Elmer's glue we used as kids, but glue nonetheless–applying a coat of it between the lens and the various layers of film applied to it. At Oakley, we find that a little bizarre. Perhaps that's because we're so laser–focused on superior optics. We work so relentlessly to engineer the finest optics on the planet that the idea of defiling them with glue seems…repulsive.
Competitors Recipe
for Distortion
This just in: it's hard to see through glue. Each additional layer further diminishes the clarity of the lens, and pretty soon it's hard to tell whether you're looking at the road or a really big piece of turkey jerky.
Oakley HDPolarized
At Oakley, we make our lenses differently. Better. We use infusion molding, which produces one comprehensive, single-layered lens–no glue, no sandwiching, no mustard or mayo. Just the clearest Polarized lens you can find.

Demolition decision deferred
11:09am Thursday 8th November 2012 in News By Melanie Attlesey
A DECISION on whether to allow the demolition of a building to create new flats and a shop has been deferred.
Chalkwell Holdings asked for permission to knock down 1 to 5 Station Approach near Snaresbrook station and replace it with a new retail unit and flats.
The company has asked for permission for three different uses for the retail unit and the council has asked for more clarification on the plans.
People living nearby have expressed concern that the unit could be used as a take-away after the developer submitted a separate application for use as a fast food outlet.
The building is currently a mix of flats, with a taxi office and a launderette on the ground floor
The new date for the decision has yet to be decided.
The Guardian is awaiting clarification from Redbridge Council.

An ambitious four-year plan to upgrade T.F. Green Airport has finally gotten underway. Monday one of the airport's two runways was shut down to make way for the removal of a hangar. Next month work begins on a new de-icing fluid treatment plant.
Peter Frazer, general counsel to the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, said none of this should inconvenience travelers.
A snow storm is on its way. Yes, again. The ACLU says the state's Attorneys General are falling down on the job of enforcing the Open Meetings Law. These stories and more on the RIPR Morning News Podcast, along with this week's Political Roundtable with guest Pablo Rodriguez.
Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? Please email us, we'd like to hear from you. email@example.com
State Representative Joe Shekarchi joins the Roundtable this week to talk about NECAP test results, binding arbitration, leveraging the airport, and the political future of state Treasurer Gina Raimondo.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the 2,632 consecutive games Cal Ripken, Jr. played with the Baltimore Orioles is that he played all 2,632 with the Baltimore Orioles. Ripken ended his Major League Baseball career in 2001 and, despite the passing of 11 years, professional sports were already well into an era where players spending their entire careers was considered the exception rather than the rule. Ripken was praised as a "throwback" to an era where players displayed "loyalty" and played their entire careers with one team.
In the past few seasons when Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom finally took off their skates with the Detroit Red Wings, the same sentiments were expressed. When Chipper Jones announced that this would be his final season with the Atlanta Braves this year, again pundits discussed how Jones was a throwback to a "bygone" era.
However, with the exception of Major League Baseball – and only largely due to the existence of Major League Baseball's reserve clause which was in place for well over a century and prevented players from entering free agency against the team's wishes – this era has, for the most part, never existed. In many cases, players stayed with teams and took extremely low salaries (compared to today's salaries) because they lacked the rights to look elsewhere, not due to a sense of loyalty.
Certainly along the way, there had been big-name players who had bounced around during their careers. Probably the biggest names in three of North America's "Big Four" sports played for more than one team. Gordie Howe played for two NHL teams (and three major league teams if you include his stint with the World Hockey Association's Houston Aeros). Wayne Gretzky played for four different teams. Michael Jordan came out of his retirement from the Chicago Bulls to play two seasons with the Washington Wizards. Even Babe Ruth played for three different organizations – the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees and the Boston Braves.
In the last 50 years, the Hart Trophy has only been won by 4 players (Jean Beliveau, Stan Mikita, Bobby Clarke and Mario Lemieux) who retired without ever changing hockey clubs. In the history of the NHL, only 10 Hart Trophy winners have started and finished their careers with the same team without making any stops between: Ted Kennedy, Milt Schmidt, Maurice Richard, Elmer Lach, Ebbie Goodfellow, and Aurele Joliat, in addition to the others mentioned above.
All of the top five scorers in NHL history played with multiple teams, as have the top five goal scorers. Players like Martin Brodeur and Steve Yzerman are an exception to the rule that came about long ago. If players can leave, they will leave.
Thus, last week, when Ryan Suter and Zach Parise left the Nashville Predators and New Jersey Devils, respectively, it should have come as very little surprise. The main purpose of free agency is to give a player a say in the direction of their career.
While Suter and Parise joined a long line of players who left their original teams for greener pastures, not all have.
Of the roughly 700 players who played in the NHL last season, there are still 27 players who have spent at least 10 years with their original teams:
- Jarome Iginla – Calgary Flames – The Flames captain was actually drafted by the Dallas Stars in 1995, but his rights were traded to the Flames that year for Corey Millen and Joe Nieuwendyk. It was the rare trade that worked out well in the end for both sides. Nieuwendyk would lead the Stars to the Stanley Cup in 1999, earning Conn Smythe honors and currently serves as the organization's General Manager. Iginla made his debut with the Flames in the 1996 Playoffs. Since then, he has scored 516 goals with 557 assists, won the Rocket Richard, the Art Ross and the Lester Pearson (currently the Ted Lindsay) and led the Flames to a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2004.
- Milan Hejduk – Colorado Avalanche – Colorado's captain is the organization's last holdover from the Nordiques era. Drafted 87th overall by Quebec in 1994, Milan Hejduk made his debut in 1998 and has been with the Avalache since. In 991 career games with Colorado, he has scored 794 points – 371 goals and 423 assists. He was part of the 2001 Stanley Cup team and won the Rocket Richard in 2003 with a career-best 50 goal season.
- Rick Nash – Columbus Blue Jackets – While there should be an asterisk here as Columbus has acknowledged that Nash is currently being shopped around, the Blue Jackets captain was drafted by Columbus with the first overall pick in 2002 and has been with the organization since. In 2004, he was one of the players – with Iginla and former Atlanta Thrasher Ilya Kovalchuk – involved in a three-way tie for the Rocket Richard Trophy.
- Brenden Morrow – Dallas Stars – Like most on this list, Morrow is the Stars captain, an honor he was granted prior to the 2006 season. Drafted in the first round by the Stars in 1997, Morrow has played 806 games with Dallas and crossed the 500-point threshhold for his career this past season.
- Pavel Datsyuk – Detroit Red Wings – In the 1990′s, Detroit had a notorious number of "steals" in the late rounds of the NHL Draft. In 1998, Datsyuk was taken with the 171st overall pick.In fact, Datsyuk was eligible to be drafted in 1996 and 1997 but was almost passed over in three NHL drafts. The Russian made his debut with the Red Wings in the 2001-02 season, helping the team to the Stanley Cup. Since then, Datsyuk has won another Stanley Cup, four Lady Byng Trophies and three Selke Trophies. In 732 career games, he is nearly a point-per-game player, with 718 points (240 goals, 478 assists) in 732 career games.
- Tomas Holmstrom – Detroit Red Wings – Holmstrom was drafted in the tenth round of the 1994 Draft by the Red Wings – a round that does not even exist any more. Since 1996, Holmstrom has won four Stanley Cups with the Red Wings and has made a career out of parking himself in front of the net and screening opposing goaltenders. This past season, Holmstrom played his 1,000th career game – he has 1,026 overall. He has also scored 530 points in his career.
- Henrik Zetterberg – Detroit Red Wings – Zetterberg is yet another long-time Red Wing who was a late round draft selection by the team. He debuted with the Red Wings in the 2002-03 season, finishing second in Calder Trophy voting to Jackman. Since coming into the league, Zetterberg has scored 624 points (252 goals, 372 assists) in 668 games. In 2008, he won the Conn Smythe Trophy in the Red Wings Stanley Cup run.
- Ales Hemsky – Edmonton Oilers – Hemsky was the Oilers' first round pick in 2001 and joined the team for the 2002-03 season. While injuries in the past few years have significantly cut into his playing time (he has missed at least 10 games in each of the last 4 seasons), he has still managed to play in 559 games and score 431 points (124 goals, 307 assists). In addition, he scored 17 points during Edmonton's run to the Final in 2006.
- Shawn Horcoff – Edmonton Oilers – The Oilers captain was drafted in 1998 by Edmonton at 99th overall and made his NHL debut during the 2000-01 season. Since then, Horcoff has played in 765 games with the Oilers and scored 19 points during Edmonton's 2006 Stanley Cup Final run.
- Stephen Weiss – Florida Panthers – Weiss was drafted by the Panthers in the first round in 2001 and made his debut during the 2001-02 season. Since then he has played in a franchise-record 637 regular season games with the team, which is especially significant because until this season, Weiss had never played in the playoffs.
- Pierre-Marc Bouchard – Minnesota Wild – Bouchard was drafted in the first round by Minnesota in 2002 and made his NHL debut in the following season. Since then, Bouchard has played in 522 games and scored 327 points (98 goals, 229 assists). Injuries have plagued Bouchard's career – he missed essentially the entire 2009-10 season (he played in the opener) due to a concussion. Over the past 3 seasons, he has missed 149 games. Still, Bouchard remains the longest-tenured player on the Wild roster.
- Andrei Markov – Montreal Canadiens – With the 162nd overall pick in 1998, Montreal selected Andrei Markov. He would come over to North America in 2000 and make his NHL debut. In that time, the defenseman has played in 636 NHL games, scoring 369 career points (81 goals, 288 assists). After the lockout, Markov started to emerge as one of the league's premier scoring defensemen, scoring 217 points in the first four seasons. However, leg problems began to hamper Markov's career as he missed 37 games in 2009-10, 75 games in 2010-11 and 69 games in 2011-12. A large portion of his missed games occurred between November 11, 2011, and March 10, 2012, when Markov did not appear in an NHL game due to knee surgery.
- Martin Erat – Nashville Predators – In the 1999 Draft, Nashville notoriously selected goaltender Brian Finley in the first round. Finley would appear in exactly two games for the Predators and give up 10 goals. However, deeper in that draft, Nashville selected Martin Erat at 191st overall. Erat debuted with Nashville in 2001 and has played in 687 games since then while contributing 460 points (159 goals, 301 assists). While he has not appeared in every playoff game in franchise history, he has appeared in every playoff series.
- David Legwand – Nashville Predators – In the 1998 Draft, the Nashville Predators drafted David Legwand at second overall with the first draft pick in franchise history. Legwand made his NHL debut in the final game of the inaugural season and has been in the lineup ever since. As the only player from the inaugural season who has never left (goaltender Chris Mason appeared in three games in the Predators inaugural season, but has made some stops in between), Legwand holds virtually every franchise career record, including points, assists and games. In Nashville, Legwand has played in 846 games and has scored 501 points (188 goals, 313 assists) – the only 500-point scorer in franchise history.
- Martin Brodeur – New Jersey Devils – Perhaps the most shocking part of Martin Brodeur's career is that when he was selected twentieth overall by the Devils in the 1990 Draft, he was not the first goaltender taken. That honor went to Trevor Kidd, selected by Calgary. While Kidd would go on to have a fairly decent career with Calgary, Carolina, Florida and Toronto, playing in 387 games and recording 140 wins and 19 shutouts, Brodeur would simply become one of the – if not the – best goaltenders in NHL history. Since joining the NHL, Brodeur has appeared in 1,191 games, winning 656 with 119 shutouts – all NHL records. Brodeur also holds the record for most playoff shutouts (19) and most single season wins (48 in 2006-07). He won the Calder in 1994, the Vezina four times, the Jennings five times and has three Stanley Cup rings.
- Patrik Elias – New Jersey Devils – Selected by New Jersey at 51st overall in the 1994 Draft, Elias made his NHL debut in the 1995-96 season. In 1,042 career games, Elias is the Devils all-time leader in goals (361), assists (566) and points (894). He has been a part of two Stanley Cup winning Devils teams and is the franchise's all-time leader in playoff goals, assists and points as well.
- Rick DiPietro – New York Islanders – Rick DiPietro was the first overall pick of the New York Islanders in the 2000 Draft. Supplanting Roberto Luongo as the Islander's goaltender of the future, DiPietro made his debut in the 2000-01 season. Prior to the 2006 season, DiPietro signed a 15-year contract that will run his time on Long Island through the 2019-20 season. However, DiPietro's career has been anything but smooth. After signing the contract, he played in 62 games in 2006-07 and 63 games in 2007-08. Of those 125 games, DiPietro won 58 of them. In the past four seasons, DiPietro has been plagues by injuries – to put it lightly. Since his 63 game season in 2007-08, DiPietro has played in more than 10 games in a season just one time and has not played in more than 30 in any of them. In the past four seasons, he has only played in 47 games and has only won 14. For comparison's sake, in the 2011-12 season alone, 24 goaltenders played in at least 48 games and 35 won at least 15.
- Daniel Alfredsson – Ottawa Senators – Given Daniel Alfredsson's long, distinguished career in Ottawa, it may come as a surprise that he has not received an NHL award based on his play since winning the Calder in 1996. Despite 1,082 points (416 goals, 666 assists) in 1,131 games, all Alfredsson has ever garnered was a selection to the Second All Star Team in 2006. However, he does hold the Senators records in games, points, assists and goals. In addition, he led the Senators to the 2007 Stanley Cup Final, becoming the first European-born captain to do so.
- Chris Neil – Ottawa Senators – Neil was drafted 161st overall by the Senators in 1998. He made his NHL debut in the 2001-02 season and, since then, has become known as one of the most rounded-enforcers in the NHL. While Neil has had over 100 penalty minutes in every one of his NHL seasons, he has also scored at least 20 points in 5 of those. In 731 games, Neil has racked up 1,861 career penalty minutes, but he has also scored 200 points (90 goals, 110 assists).
- Chris Phillips – Ottawa Senators – Chris Phillips was the first overall pick of the 1996 NHL Draft. He made his debut in 1997 and – with the exception of injuries during his second season – has been a remarkably reliable and consistent part of the Senators roster, including appearances in at least 80 games in each of the last 6 seasons. While never known as an offensive threat, Phillips' reliability has allowed him to compile respectable numbers in the scoring column – in 1,025 career games, Phillips has scored 256 points (65 goals, 191 assists).
- Jason Spezza – Ottawa Senators – Spezza was drafted second overall in the 2001 NHL Draft (Ilya Kovalchuk was first). He made his NHL debut in the 2002-03 season and has been one of the main contributors to the Senators lineup since then. In 606 games, he has scored 616 points. In 4 of the 7 post-lockout seasons, including this past season, Spezza has been at least a point-per-game player. Spezza is also remarkably young for a player who has been in the league as long as he has and will not turn 30 until after next season.
- Brooks Orpik – Pittsburgh Penguins – Brooks Orpik was selected in the first round by the Penguins in the 2000 Draft. He debuted during the 2002-03 season and won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2009. In 585 games, Orpik has scored 111 points. Obviously, in the next few years, as Crosby, Malkin, Fleury and Letang get older, they will join Orpik, but as it stands, Orpik is the only home-bred Penguins player who has been with the team for 10 years.
- Patrick Marleau – San Jose Sharks – The Sharks drafted Patrick Marleau with the second overall pick in 1997 (Marleau's current linemate Joe Thornton was drafted first overall). The following season, Marleau joined the Sharks lineup and has remained there ever since. He has become San Jose's franchise leader in goals (387) and points (443) while earning a reputation as one of the most dependable players in hockey. Amazingly, in Marleau's 14 years in the NHL, he has never missed more than 8 games in a season. In the past 3 seasons, he has not missed a game at all. In fact, Marleau's durability has allowed him to play 1,117 games while only being 32 years old. Additonally, Marleau has been a consistent producer for San Jose, scoring at least 30 goals in 6 of the last 7 seasons.
- Barret Jackman – St. Louis Blues – Jackman was drafted 17th overall by St. Louis in 1999. In the 2001-02 season he made his NHL debut, coming onto the roster full-time during the 2002-03 season. During his first full season, Jackman beat Rick Nash and Henrik Zetterberg to win the Calder Trophy as the League's top rookie. Since coming up, Jackman has played in 519 games, scored 19 goals and added 107 assists.
- Vincent Lecavalier – Tampa Bay Lightning – It's almost hard to believe that the Lightning existed before Vincent Lecavalier. However, the Lightning captain was not drafted until 1998, when Tampa Bay took him with the first overall pick. In 2000, Lecavalier became the youngest player ever to be named captain of an NHL team when he earned the title at the age of 19. While the title would be removed a year later, he would be renamed captain in 2008. With 998 games played, 373 goals and 842 points, Lecavalier is the Lightning's all-time leader in those categories. With two games played next season, he will become the franchise's first 1,000 game player. In 2007, on the back of a 52 goal season, Lecavalier won the Rocket Richard. More importantly, in 2004, he and the Lightning won the Stanley Cup.
- Daniel Sedin – Vancouver Canucks – Daniel Sedin was officially taken second overall by the Canucks in the 1999 Draft ("officially" because he and twin brother Henrik were called at the same time), making his debut in the 2000 season. While he and Henrik share similar traits in their playing styles, Daniel has been the "goal-scoring" brother. In 859 games with Vancouver, Daniel has 279 goals and 718 points. In 2011, on the back of a 104 point season, he won the Art Ross Trophy and was voted as the Ted Lindsay Award winner.
- Henrik Sedin – Vancouver Canucks – Henrik was drafted with his brother Daniel in 1999 and made his debut in 2000. In his career, he has played in 892 games, scored 171 goals and 747 points. With 576 assists, he is the franchise's all-time leader. He has played in more games and scored more points than his twin brother, largely due to an injury to Daniel in 2009. In 2010, with 112 points, he won the Art Ross Trophy and was voted the Hart Trophy winner.

[A little light editing from me. This is beyond "just a little concerning" at this point, is it not? He missed a similar May 11 function in Pittsburgh and was a late scratch from a May 27 event in Hershey. - RUTS]
The Philadelphia event scheduled for this Wednesday is off. Joe didn't show for some of the others, and I think we were all hoping he was doing better and would make an appearance. Here are the details from the Alumni Association:
We are sorry to tell you that the "Evening with Joe" scheduled for Wednesday, June 16, in Philadelphia has been canceled. Coach Joe Paterno has been bothered by the lingering effects of an adverse reaction to antibiotic treatment for dental work, in addition to recovering from a recent bout of intestinal flu, and will not be able to participate.
All registration fees will be refunded. If you paid by credit card, you will receive an e-mail confirming your refund. If you paid by check, you will receive a refund by mail. All refunds will occur within four weeks.
The Penn State Alumni Association and the Nittany Lion Club apologize for this inconvenience.

It looks like Brazil have become a popular UFO hotspot over the last few days and not the good kind either. The number of [fake] sightings went up in the last few weeks and this whole situation has me wondering whether this is a disinformation campaign or Brazilian aliens became an exploitation classic for Internet videos.
This new Brazilian alien, which totally looks like something straight out of Jim Henson's workshop, unlike the last one I posted, is alive and kicking. The video shows the alien taking a few steps backwards and hiding behind a car towards the end. The quality of the video is quite bad and the sound of the video was replaced by a creepy music track but that's not what made me suspect of the whole thing. Hit the break to watch the video and read an analysis.
Video courtesy of YouTube user thirdphaseofmoon
Here's the info that came with the video:
New Video out of Brazil!!! Crazy Alien Encounter in The Rain Forest! UFO Sightings and Paranormal Activity THIRDPHASEOFMOON!
Ok, so what made me suspect? First off the fact that the video is backwards! Yes, folks, I'm afraid to tell you that this video is faker than those "genuine" watches that the street vendor tried to sell me this morning! Notice the clumsy walk of the "alien", if you reverse the video it looks just like a regular toddler. Which brings me to the second point: Look at the neck/shoulders area, you can totally see where they spliced together both pictures; The fake-ass alien head and the toddler! To top it all out, the author added a shitty filter to the video, I suppose for realism. It didn't work for me, it looks totally fake and
gray gay, sorry.
While you watch, I will be buying one of them "genuine" watches. 'Cause it's my boss' birthday tomorrow and I like him.
Special thanks to Tony Lorenzini from Facebook for the tip on this one.

what's wrong with these? they sounded so promising i think the amount of sugar is off, now that i look at other meringue recipes. sugar helps stiffen the egg whites and give them that shiny look. maybe they would have held their shape better
I needed a bunch of these so I doubled the recipe. I used 1 1/2 cups sugar because what was put in the recipe was not enough. Other that I changed nothing else. Really good cookie!!!!! Thank you!!!!
This was a fabulous treat! I used Instant Jamaican Coffee as opposed to regular, and I piped (for added height) the cookies onto my pan before I tossed them in the oven and they had a fabulous texture when they finished. Crispy on the outside & tender and chewy on the inside. They melted in your mouth, and the guests I served them to had nothing but rave reviews for them. This is definitely going to be added to my holiday fav list!
