Spell of Desire GN 1
If you're looking for a new romance about actual grown-up people and you enjoy magic as a plot conceit – or cute kitties and puppies with a little animal rescue thrown in – this is worth checking out.
Shelf Worthy
ADV Films 110 min. 1/1 $29.98 03/18/2003
I have no idea how I'm supposed to explain this title to you other than give you a list of words: panties, adventures, horny guys, panties humor, panties. This title is really unlike anything I've ever seen. Collected from a Japanese variety show called "Wonderful," (think TV Funhouse and its Ambiguously Gay Duo series from Saturday Night Live), Colorful! is a compilation of short vignettes that talk about a variety of people in our modern day sex-driven world—and panties. Lots and lots of panties. Showcasing characters from athletes, to teachers, to gargantuan Godzilla sized high school girls, Colorful! is creative, fun to watch, and packed with lewd jokes that somehow manage to stay funny time and time again. Sadly, I'm sure all of us know at least one person in our lives that would behave like one of the characters in Colorful! whether as a shy person who can't approach the opposite sex, or a sex-deprived nerd who would go to heaven just to catch another infamous glimpse up a girl's skirt. Despite the sex-centered premise of the show, Colorful! is a wonderful look into the lives of the people around you and their views on sex. The art is beautiful and the animation is fluid, which makes the series all the more better. Do you like panties? Watch Colorful!

Bandai Entertainment 125 min. 1/6 $29.98 03/18/2003
Wait~ didn't we see this title two weeks ago? Yes, we did. In a stroke of odd marketing genius, Bandai decided to sell the limited edition set first so all the drooling fanboys would clamor over each other to get their hands on the series first. Now that all the geeks are gone, Bandai is releasing just the DVD so people can enjoy it without the money-draining goodies that came with it the first time. Well, what is someone like me to do, who recommended this same title just two weeks ago? Write about this thing again, of course, but in a slightly different view point. Tsukasa is a meek little wimp who runs into a flat piece of rock with carvings in it. It tells him that he can do whatever the hell he wants to do because some golden knobby thing is going to protect him from all sorts of unruly creatures. Because he has this monster, Tsukasa transforms from a sullen loser into a pompous blowhard loser and goes around either trying to avoid people or trying to own their buttocks when they provoke him. All these other characters step in and try to figure out what's up with him, because he's stuck inside of the game, which is probably a bad thing, since even in Japan, people don't live inside video games all the time. At the end of a few mediocre episodes, plot twists are thrown in to really kick the story into high gear, and right as it gets really, absurdly good, the episode ends. Go figure. Curious to see how much of what I told you has anything to do with the series? Go buy the thing and find out.
Banner of the Stars Vol. #2
Bandai Entertainment 100 min. 2/3 $29.98 03/18/2003
Two things occurred to me when I watched this for the first time. One: the cover of the DVD is very, very, very pretty. Two: some parts of the episodes are slow as sin. Regardless of the latter realization, Banner of the Stars remains good like its predecessor, Crest of the Stars. The character development is impeccable and remains one of the best qualities of this series. The dialogue is solid and the story line is intense and well defined, showing once again that anything *of the Stars* is able to sport first rate story-telling. The art and animation are clean cut and smooth, providing a visual experience that is just as breathtaking as the character interaction. In this volume, Lafiel and Jinto are given a chance to reach an understanding with one another regarding events that happened in the past. In order to go back to the fleet, they are reliant upon an isolated ship, the Basroil, which apart from sounding like a form of influenza, to do its best to rejoin the main fleet. This series truly is a wonderful experience to behold—I highly recommend it to anyone. Be careful though, even though the story is detailed and intense, the pacing is rather slow at times. Don't fall asleep.

Vandread Second Stage Vol. #4
Pioneer Animation 75 min. 4/4 29.98 03/18/2003
The second season of Vandread bangs to a close in volume four of the series. As the viewer revisits the planets of the men and the women, the final battle that follows is absolutely breathtaking. The computer graphics used are detailed and articulate, making it truly something spectacular. With everything from beautiful lighting effects to anal details like star fields and trails of steam, no time was spared in the rendering of the final scenes. In addition to the beauty of the battle, the characters continue to develop up to the end of the series. This volume is truly a great ending to a good series. If you've seen Vandread up until this point, you can't afford to not watch this.
Love Hina Spring Special
Bandai Entertainment 60 min. 1/1 $29.98 03/18/2003
When I watched the Love Hina TV series, I enjoyed it the first time, thinking that the low intelligence slapstick comedy was mildly entertaining and also I was anxious to see where the story would go. Much to my dismay, it didn't go anywhere. After watching the series for the first time, the second viewing wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the first, and the viewing after that worse yet. Then I watched the Love Hina Christmas Special, which proved to me that yes, it is possible to model the anime after the manga and it is possible for Love Hina to have earnest emotion and an engrossing story line. With this last success lingering in my mind, I eagerly awaited for the Spring Special… and it sucked. I didn't think it was possible for a Love Hina special of any kind to be worse than the television series, but apparently it's possible. While all the classic Love Hina elements are still there, the plot brings down the production. The story is rushed, the fanservice is random and grossly exaggerated, and the characters attain a new level of stupidity and annoyance. The motivations that the characters have for their actions are skimmed over to make up for their ludicrousness, and all around, it's just nowhere near the high standard that the Christmas Special set. Love Hina fans will still enjoy the chance to see their beloved characters in another bout of restless frivolity and motivation-deprived violence, but as for the plot? It ruins the show. Unless you're a completionist that wants to collect the whole series, this simply isn't worth buying. If you're bored though, there's nothing wrong with a rental, as there's a few minutes of the thing that are somewhat amusing.
Wild Arms Vol. #2
ADV Films 100 min. 2/6 $29.98 03/18/2003
Women in anime are so annoying and this volume just proves it. Goodness, are all of the women aggravating. Luckily, the series is a ball of fun like the first volume was. The pacing is fast, yet not rushed, and there are humorous scenes sprinkled throughout the entire thing to liven up an already vivacious production. This volume is rather frivolous and spends more time on showing shallow women prancing all over men than the overarching story, but it's still entertaining enough to keep viewers amused for awhile. As it's still early in the series, it's natural to expect rather detached episodes, but even through these seemingly pointless scenes, the characters' relationships with one another continue to be explored, which ensures that the series is progressing steadily in the right direction. This is definitely an interesting anime for the time being—give it a chance, and you might end up getting a huge kick out of it. But hey—you might want to rent this thing first. Do you really want a DVD on your shelf with an ugly cover like that without already loving what's on the disc? I would hope not.
Tenchi Muyo! OVA Vol. #1/2/3/4
Pioneer Animation 120/105/90/105 min. 1/2/3/4/4 $24.98 03/18/2003
This really brings back memories, huh? When this was first released on DVD years ago, Pioneer threw it in a boxset, showing the fan community the high standard that they have always followed since then. Now, out of the blue, they're releasing the series on four individual discs. If you've ever wanted to see this series, but have always been intimidated by either the boxset or the thought of having to resort to VHS, this is a great opportunity for you. While the series itself is nothing spectacular on hindsight, it had a defining impact on anime fandom and this release is a wonderful way to revisit it. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, this is one of the first titles that come to the minds of anime fans when you mention the words "harem anime." Tenchi is a student who breaks the Masaki Shrine seal, freeing the demon inside. Turns out, this demon is in the form of a beautiful woman who has been asleep for 700 years. After a string of events that would be too odd to actually describe, she and a few other women end up living with Tenchi. The art and animation are both decent, though not wildly spectacular, but the random humor in the story is enough to keep it going. Tenchi Muyo! is a series that was popular during its time, and remains popular to this day. If you like this series, then this is the prime chance jump into a pool of nostalgia, so hurry up and get to it.
Dragon Ball: King Piccolo Set 1
Funimation Productions $39.95 03/18/2003
My goodness the Dragon Ball/Z/GT saga is painfully long. After a hundred episodes, just when you thought they couldn't possibly have more things to talk about, they whip out Piccolo. Though the series is ridiculously long, people will sit down once again to watch this thing. Why? Because it's entertaining, that's why. It is almost a fact that Dragon Ball is better than Dragon Ball Z, so if you thought Piccolo in DBZ was cool, then he'll blow you out of your seat and make you nerdgasm over how much better this character is in Dragon Ball. Picture this: Goku is angsting over what happened at the World Martial Arts Tournament. As he tries to uncover the source behind his turmoil, he starts to unravel an evil and deadly secret, which will eventually lead to yet another—ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN! Again. But this time there's a green dude. Like DBZ? This is better.
Ronin Warriors OVA Vol. #1
Bandai Entertainment 150 min. 1/? $29.98 03/18/2003
Sometimes I wonder where people get these crazy ideas for sequels. Get this—since the ending of Ronin Warriors, the characters have been off doing things like studying in America, winning the lottery, etc. Then, some strange dude shows up in the middle of New York and starts wreaking havoc from Hell to Jersey. You would never guess in a million years what he is. Yup—a bad, bad man that found a new secret and is hell-bent and using his new found powers to raise chaos on Earth. Did you like the old Ronin Warriors? This is right up your alley. If anything else, it's worth an amusing glance at since the action scenes are pretty fun to stare blankly at.
Perishable Item
Yu-Gi-Oh! Vol. #07: Double Trouble Duel
Yu-Gi-Oh! Vol. #08: Face Off
Funimation Productions 60 min. 7/8/? $19.95 03/18/2003
Yugi and Joey must team together to fight the forces of evil!!! What will they do?!?! Double the action! Double the mystery! Double the excitement! Can they do it?! Will they do it?!?!? Can they pull together and muster what it takes to ensure their victory and their honor?! The fight is tough, and only one side will make it. Will it be the enemy or will it be them?!

Londonderry Lions host blood drives
LONDONDERRY — The American Red Cross and Londonderry Lions Club are teaming up to host two blood drives at the Londonderry Lions Hall, 256 Mammoth Road on Feb. 11 and 25 from 1 to 6 p.m.
In addition to the knowledge that your blood could help others, donors will also receive a buy on, get one free all-day adult ski pass good at participating ski resorts.
Throughout January, severe weather caused the cancellation of blood drives across the country and here in New England. As a result, the Red Cross is in urgent need of donors with type O, and especially type O negative blood. Type O negative blood is called the universal blood type because it can be transfused to any patient who needs blood regardless of their own blood type.
Call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org to schedule an appointment today. Walk-ins are always welcome. A blood donor card or valid ID is necessary to donate.
Diaper drive is underway
Susan Ochoa (812-1100 or firstname.lastname@example.com) and Danielle Hart (494-5722 or firstname.lastname@example.com) are spearheading a disposable diaper drive all month.
Donations will be distributed through The Upper Room.
Diapers are expensive, Ochoa said, and not covered by SNAP or WIC.
Drop off donations at the Century 21 office at 84 W. Broadway or Oasis Salon by Bea at 18 E. Broadway. More collection sites are coming. All sizes of diapers are needed.

Orange has announced that Primal Scream are to headline this year's Orange RockCorps volunteer concert. Also billed for the summer concert which this year takes place at Wembley Arena, are Jessie J and Eliza Doolittle, with more performers to be announced soon. The gig will take place on 12 July and is held as a reward for the 11,000 volunteers who have taken part in the Orange RockCorps scheme this year.
Launched in 2008, the scheme has snowballed in popularity, more than quadrupling its volunteer base in three years. In exchange for just four hours of targeted charity work, volunteers are rewarded with an exclusive one-off live concert. The scheme is focusing on over 150 charity projects across Greater London this year, as part of an effort to showcase London on the world stage.
Stephen Greene, CEO and co-founder of RockCorps, commented: "We are going to Wembley! We couldn't have believed how the people of Britain would respond when we first came to the UK, but here it is - we are going to THE iconic British venue. The interest in Orange RockCorps has been phenomenal – and we roll on summer for what will be an incredible year. From UK legend Primal Scream to of the best of the new artists, Jessie J and the brilliant Eliza Doolittle, we are just thrilled by the support. And this year - the public tells us what to do, what issues and we will get to work on it with an army of volunteers."
Head of Sponsorship for Orange, Andy Pearcey added: "Orange RockCorps is a fantastic initiative and one that we're thrilled to be part of. We're all really excited about 2011 in what will be Orange RockCorps biggest year. We wanted to reach out to a broader audience this year and we've got a phenomenal line up at the Wembley gig which we think will appeal to a variety of musical tastes. Orange RockCorps is for everyone and with You Decide and The Collective people from every corner of the UK can get involved and give four hours to make a difference in their community."

Changing China
Giant on the move
Off target and aquiver — archery is harder than it looks
With our flags fluttering high above the Beijing archery venue, my German opponent and I nodded to each other in a show of mutual respect ahead of the sudden death shoot-off. The score was tied at 2-2 — the next one to burst a balloon in the middle of the target was the winner.
Our instructor for the day, the archery federation's dashing event director Juan Carlos Holgado, moved us back 30 metres from the target and we let loose. Some 15 minutes and 20 arrows later, the only thing to have burst was our confidence.
This was the first time I had shot an Olympic-style recurve bow and it was a lot harder than it looked. Watching the archers practise from 70m out made it look so easy, but just to hold the bow at arm's length without quivering was quite an effort.
How long would it take for me to compete at the highest level?
"A minimum of eight to 12 years," said Holgado. "Once you have the physical, you must have the mental. The mental is what makes the difference between the good and the great archers."
Messi likely to miss Olympics
News just out that the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled in favour of Barcelona and decided they will not have to release Argentine forward Lionel Messi for the Olympics.
Assuming Barcelona do not have a change of heart, it means one of the biggest-name athletes at the Games will not be taking part. Brazilians Diego and Rafinha, of Werder Bremen and Schalke 04, will now also presumably be going home.
You can carry the flag, Dirk — just don't wave it around
Dirk Nowitzki was picked to carry the German flag into the Olympic Stadium's Opening Ceremonies on Friday but, in a country where carrying the national flag had long fallen out of favour, the NBA all-star basketball player was given a few unsolicited pointers by German Olympic officials on how to do the job.
"They gave me the tip that it's not going to be like at Carnival and so I shouldn't wave the flag around too wildly," said Nowitzki, who added he was deeply honoured to be the country's flag-bearer. "But I think I'll still be able to have some fun with the whole thing."
Is it smog or 'static breeze'?
With sensitivities running high among Beijing officials who promised a Green Olympics, including clear skies, any suggestion that the air quality is actually less than clear has caused some hurt feelings among the hosts.
It's a prickly issue, because some athletes are limiting their time in Beijing, while four American track cyclists arrived yesterday in black face masks.
An Olympic waiting game
The last weeks before the Olympics may be the most difficult for the athletes. The work is done and there's nothing else to do but wait, rest, watch grass grow and let the pressure build. It's a time which tests athletes' mental strength and discipline.
In the last week before my first Olympic race, I tried very hard to escape the Games.
A smoke-free Games? Not for all the athletes
Early to rise, early to bed, and lots of exercise in between: athletes are supposed to be models of clean living, right? But some Olympians have a more healthy lifestyle than others.
For Italian weightlifter Giorgio de Luca, for example, doping is out of the question but coffee, cigarettes, and the occasional drink are all fine.
I'm running the 100m? If you insist…
There was a classic moment at a media conference with 100 metres world record holder Usain Bolt today. Bolt's coach told Reuters last week that the Jamaican would run the 100m as well as the 200m but he seemed unaware of the fact on Tuesday.
"I still have to decide," he said, before being informed of his coach's comment.
Beijing Games: picture of the day
Russell Boyce writes: Great contacts and hard work led to Reuters News Pictures photographer Hans Deryk getting exclusive pictures of Usain Bolt, the 100m world record holder at the National Stadium.
The simple picture of Bolt posing with the specially made gold running shoes that he will wear when he aims for Olympic gold are a perfect blend of a sports news value with timing and place. After all, how much better could it get: the fastest man, being seen for the first time at the venue with is new running shoes.
Olympic panda-monium reigns at Beijing Zoo
Forget Olympic fever. Nothing beats panda-monium.
The "Olympic pandas" at Beijing Zoo really do drive the crowds wild — even Germany's beloved polar bear star Knut would be hard pressed to match the panda adoration sweeping the nation.
When the eight pandas in the Olympic Pavilion strut their stuff at feeding time, mothers rush to get a picture of their child with China's national symbol in the background.
Can the 'Redeem Team' win basketball gold?
Loaded with outrageous talent, the United States men's basketball team insist they will be checking egos at the door at the Beijing Olympics.
Boasting Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, the NBA's Most Valuable Player and its leading scorer, the Americans are favourites to win gold, although 2004 Athens gold medallists Argentina and world champions Spain will push them all the way.

Samaná Peninsula Feature
Expats in Paradise
If you spend any amount of time on the Samaná Peninsula, you'll meet a gaggle of unaffiliated expatriate entrepreneurs who have made Samaná their homemade paradise and who have created most of its tourism infrastructure. Here are three of their stories.
In the late 1990s two young Germans, Peter and Judith, decided they wanted to start a new life in a tropical setting. They ranked all the warm-weather nations of the world, considering critical factors like political stability and crime rates. "This was before the Internet, and involved a lot of dedicated research," said Peter. "The D.R. was at the very top of our list." Then they built their hotel in Las Terrenas. Today a visit to the beachfront Coyamar Hotel—which exudes a breeziness that's decidedly romantic—is a trip into their world. You'll probably meet soft-spoken Judith at reception, and you'll see a bare-chested Peter and their son, Tao, who was born here in 2001. "It's almost impossible to make a profit, but we enjoy our life," Peter said.
French-born Yvonne Bastian arrived in 1998 from the Central African Republic, where she'd run a restaurant that had served presidents and dignitaries. Revolution brought her to the Dominican Republic, and she's been the guiding gastronomic light in the main town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná sever since. (In 2007 the restaurant Xaman opened, and suddenly there were two good restaurants in town, but it closed not long after, and it's back to just Yvonne.) Yvonne's grown-up son runs the front of the house. The duo's care is evident in the tranquil, oasis-like interior.
In 2005 a family of three were in search of a new life project and a new place to live. Cari Guy had grown up in the kitchens of his family's Colorado restaurants and later found success operating a luxury bed-and-breakfast in Provence. There he met Marie-Claude Theibault, whose Parisian family had imported antiques from the Far East for generations. Her son Thomas Stamm grew up in the United States and South Africa. The three had sought out locales in Croatia, Spain, and beyond. "We came to the Dominican Republic visiting friends and knew we'd found our place when we saw Samaná," said Thiebault. "It was beautiful, and nothing like this had ever been done." The Peninsula House—their ultrarefined six-room hilltop property overlooking huge swaths of coconut forest to the sea—was built from scratch, using a French architect. Thomas handles guest relations, Marie-Claude tends the gardens, Cari oversees the cooking. The result is one of the world's most extraordinary small hotels.

"Katie Lapp has known no other world than that of the Amish
who raised her. Since her refusal to accept their ways fully has
resulted in her being shunned (see The Shunning, Bethany, 1997),
Katie takes refuge with a Mennonite family and tracks down her
biological mother. However, Katie soon realizes that Laura
Mayfield-Bennett is not only mortally ill but also married to a man
more concerned with her money than with her."

Adrian has started a new workout regimen using the P90X,
Tony Horton's #1 fitness equipment and routine.
Adrian will be posting on his Facebook/Twitter about how his
workouts are ...working. :)
The man who made Duncan MacLeod the swordsman
he was, Bob Anderson, passed away January 1st.
Adrian left a message on his Facebook page that reads.....
As some of you may already know my friend and sword master Bob Anderson,
with whom I worked with on Highlander, passed away at 4:00am January 1st
2012 at the ripe old age of 89.He was not only one of the most creative men I have
worked with, but was kind, full of energy and helped me mold Duncan MacLeod
into the character he became. In the many hours days and weeks we spent together,
in all types of weather and under enormous pressure, he was always gracious,
patient and kind hearted.
Bob to me was an artist and not a brick layer. I say that because he was
able to not only see a sword fight as a discussion between two people but
also be able to bring it to life with artistry and flair that few others
could have.
I had the pleasure to meet him again a couple years ago during a convention
in London and even though his health was beginning to fail he was still the
Bob I knew 20 years ago. I will always remember him with fondness not only
for his talent but for a man who was a father figure to me, teaching me so
much about work and life itself.
God speed Bob. I will remember you always."
Adrian starts off 2012 with a ...Bang!! Really!
In the far off future of 1986, an LAPD
police officer is shot, and before he dies,
his brain waves are copied onto computer

The Heritage Park Foundation and Land O' Lakes Saturday Market will once again host Traditions on the Green from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 10 at the community center, and there is still time to get involved.
"We really encourage anyone that wants to become involved to sponsor a booth," event organizer Sandy Graves said in an email. "Just takes a tent, two volunteers and a craft or game."
A booth can be reserved for $10 through Dec. 1. After that, the price increases to $15.
The event, in its fourth year, will feature ornament making, crafts, puppet shows and a bounce house. Commissioner Pat Mulieri will provide her "famous face painting," Graves said.
The Rotary Club of Land O' Lakes will prepare and serve a breakfast with Santa from 9 to 10 a.m. The breakfast and all activities are free while supplies last.
Pineview Middle School performs at 10 a.m., Land O' Lakes High School Jazz band performs at 11 a.m, and Denham Oaks Elementary School Chorus performs at 12 p.m.
Canned food donations for Metropolitan Ministries Pasco will be collected at the event, as well.
The Heritage Park Foundation began as a group of Central Pasco residents who wanted to see the community center park continue as a hub of the community of Land O' Lakes, Graves said.
"The park started with Lakers dedicated to providing the monies to build it and continue with the activities that build a strong community. We want to keep that type of spirit alive."
To sponsor a booth, volunteer or for more information, call 813-996-3011.

We get a lot of requests for a Catalog of all the Paparazzi Jewelry. Unfortunately due to the every changing products offered there is not a printed Paparazzi Jewelry Catalog. We try to always keep the Newest Paparazzi Jewelry on our site, so if you can't find something you like right now keep coming back as the inventory does change.
Want to Start your own Paparazzi Accessories Business? Click here for more information about becoming a Paparazzi Consultant.
Does Paparazzi Have a Catalog
Does Paparazzi Have a Catalog?
I get asked a lot if Paparazzi has a jewelry and accessories catalog. The simple answer is, no, Paparazzi does not have a catalog. The reason is because Paparazzi changes its inventory about every one to two weeks. And with fashion trends changing and backorders it would make it very hard to keep a catalog up to date. Paparazzi loves to have the latest fashion and stylish jewelry. So if you see something you like....you better get it...FAST! Some of the favorite, popular pieces (like the Blockbusters) will stay around for a while. But most of the jewelry and accessories will no longer be available in the future.
That is why on DebsJewelryShop.com I try to keep everything current. As soon as I get a new shipment in I put it online. That way I know those wanting to see what Paparazzi sells and those that wish to purchase jewelry will have a wide variety. I usually only have 1 or 2 of the same pieces. So if there is a piece you like you better snatch it up or it may be gone next week!
This is another reason why people want to continue hosting jewelry parties! At every party there will be new things! You could have a party once a month even and not show the same things over and over again. You can't say that about other Home-Based businesses! With ever changing inventory you never know what finds await you at the next Paparazzi Accessories party!
I love being a Paparazzi Consultant because I have the trendiest jewelry right at my fingertips! I love that if I get a new outfit I know that I will find jewelry and accessories to go with it at home! I love having such a wide variety to choose from! I also get to know what looks good with what so that I help other women know how accessorize and feel good about themselves. I love being a Paparazzi Consultant!
If you would like more information on becoming a Paparazzi Consultatn or just the jewelry in general, please email me!

Student-athletes reach new heights
You know that if you put your mind to it, if you are disciplined, you can get it done.
"You have to work hard to get to the college sport level, and that discipline can carry over into the classroom," says Shelby Hooper, a women's golf team member majoring in business finance. "The drive to succeed allows college athletes to overcome both academic and sports challenges. You know that if you put your mind to it, if you are disciplined, you can get it done."
And Chico State's student-athletes do, indeed, get things done.
The Wildcats were the top athletics department in the California Collegiate Athletic Association in 2010–11, winning the Commissioner's Cup. They finished 26th out of 310 NCAA Division II schools in the Director's Cup standings. And since 1998, Chico State's athletic teams have won 99 NCAA Championship berths, 24 West Region titles, and 15 National titles.
They also succeed in the classroom: Chico State student-athletes achieve a higher average GPA than the overall undergraduate population and graduate at a higher rate.
The Wildcat drive extends to service in the community. Student-athletes visit local schools through 'Cats in the Classroom. They teach the kids about teamwork, leadership, science, and art through activities related to their sports.
Shelby, who won the 2009–10 Division II Athletic Directors Association Academic Achievement Award, says her Chico State experience has also been lots of fun. She loved traveling with her teammates, especially in the run-up to the 2009 Division II NCAA Championships.
But she was always happy to come back to Chico. "On my first visit, I just fell in love with campus and the town," she says. "And the experience has exceeded my expectations. Chico is a great place to go to college."
After she graduates in 2012, Shelby says, her athletic experience will give her a competitive edge in the job market. "A lot of employers love that you have time management skills and a competitive drive," she says. "You want to succeed, you want to win, you are disciplined—and they look for that."

Carhartt Women's Ripstop Cargo Flare Scrub Pant
My one pair of Carhartt ripstop cargo pants (a different style from these)seem slightly smaller than Med Couture pants and other brands. However, the size XS in this style seemed like an XXS. Sizing seems to be a problem with scrubs. Therefore, going up a size in these may be necessary for some.

We stayed in one of the basic fan rooms which was perfect for us. Lovely people, good restaurant (late night drinks) and pool with a jacuzzi - very reasonable for Koh Samui. Wifi only in the reception area, but lets face it - you're more likely to be on the beach or in the pool.

A great quiet place with a pool and 2 minut walk to a nice beach. We stayed in a bungalow with only a fan - i would recommed you to pay a little ekstra and get the air con room, because the rooms without can get very hot during the day and night. It is a bit far away from shopping and restaurant areas, but you can easily go there by taxi. There are only a few restaurants and shops near by.

In the north of Kof Samui the Phalarn is a beautiful place where you can relax. It is a quiet place with swimmingpool, the food is not so good but you can go outside to eat as its very cheap and you have a lot of places to choose. We got a trip in an agency and we noticed that in phalarn they get i little ungry as they also offer trips and the behaviour of the treatment decrease since that moment. The cheapest rooms has no hot water,either room service. Next time ill go to another place

Cubic Inches
RATED: ★ ★ ★ out of 5 buckets | WORTH: DVD or Rental
Rated: R Graphic nudity, drug content, pervasive language, sexual reference and some violence
Release Date: August 22, 2012
Runtime: 1 hour 40 minutes
Director: David Palmer, Dax Shepard
Writers: Dax Shepard
Cast: Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper, Tom Arnold, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Chenoweth, Beau Bridges
SYNOPSIS: Former getaway driver Charlie Bronson puts his Witness Protection status in jeopardy when he tries to help his girlfriend get to Los Angeles. While on the roadtrip, Bronson and his girlfriend are pursued by both the feds and his former gang.
REVIEW: David Palmer, director of the acclaimed Showtime documentary Stripped: Greg Friedler's Naked Las Vegas, reteams with his Brother's Justice writer and star Dax Shepard in a new action comedy entitled Hit and Run.Annie (Kristen Bell, Big Miracle) and Charlie Bronson (Dax Shepard, Idiocracy) live a romantic, semi-idyllic life in a small town. When Annie is given the opportunity to create a college program in Los Angeles by her college dean Debbie (Kristen Chenoweth, Four Christmases) she is forced to make the decision to move away to LA without Charlie. The reason why she would have to leave him behind is because Charlie is in witness protection and unable to travel outside the city limits. After some soul searching, Charlie decides to leave the program and his US Marshall handler Randy (Tom Arnold, Madea's Witness Protection) to drive his girlfriend to LA for this once in a lifetime opportunity. But driving Annie to the City of Angels carries with it more than just the miles on the odometer. Charlie's old bank robber buddies Alex Demitri (Bradley Cooper, Limitless), Allen (Ryan Hansen, Last Call) and Neve (Joy Bryant, Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins) get tipped off and put the pedal to the metal on Charlie's trail, Annie's obsessive ex-boyfriend Gil (Michael Rosenbaum, Smallville) tries to get her back, US Marshall Randy tries to save his career by getting Charlie back into the town limits, and Charlie has to deal with the repercussions of hitting the open road again.
Dax Shepard and David Palmer create a throw-back action dramedy with plenty of horsepower. Filled with car chases, open road discoveries, and high-speed pursuits, Hit and Run starts off idling for a while before the accelerator jams into the floorboards. At times the story seems more comedic than dramatic, flip-flopping between the two. Tom Arnold's US Marshall Randy has more goofy and unwarranted things happen to him in and around a vehicle than one man should endure. Michael Rosen's ex-boyfriend Gil brings plenty of angst and obsessiveness to become more than just a funny thorn in Charlie Bronson's side. Bradley Cooper's bank robber mastermind rides a double yellow line between tracking down Charlie and dispensing passionate advice about the proper dog food to buy.
Hit and Run starts to accelerate when Charlie and Annie leave their small town behind. Once the town limits fall away in the rear view and Charlie opens up the throttle of a custom rebuild 700 horsepower 1967 converted Lincoln Continental project car heading west, the couple find more than their fair share of obstacles. With Randy, Gil, and all of Charlie's old bank robbery buddies on their trail, Charlie and Annie's relationship is put to the test.
Shepard and Palmer make great use of both high-octane high-speed pursuits and great 60s and 70s thumping music. From Jimmy Hendricks to James Brown to AC/DC, every selection of music is perfectly placed in the story. Aside from heart-pounding anthems, Shepard and Palmer also insert some choice lighter selections to counter some strange moments, especially during an interchange between Bradley Cooper's dog lover and a muscle-head who does treat his animals with the same level of respect. Car chases abound throughout - as one would suspect - taking advantage of a variety of vehicles including the Lincoln Continental, a lighter Pontiac convertible, and even a minivan!
The story is filled with pithy dialogue, some funny and some more serious. Add in car chases, pursuits, and some heavy-handed pursuers, and you have a wild, indie ride. There have been flicks with superior car chases like Smokey and the Bandit, movies with better banter like Pulp Fiction, and stories with more heart. Dax Shepard and David Palmer do put together a solid thrill ride that does have its charms and crashes.
Hit and Run has been screening for several months. On the eve of its release, this small indie flick should have enough horsepower to carry it a ways down the asphalt. Funny and adrenalized, and filled with action and adventure, Hit and Run runs on most cylinders.

Golden Valley was full of fur and fun Saturday morning as hundreds of people, including some from Shakopee, participated in the Walk for Animals. The annual fundraiser helps the Animal Humane Society provide services to animals in need.
Pet owner Carrie Orr raised $6800 for the cause and then dolled up her dog in a cowboy outfit for the walk. "I come up with a different theme each year, just for something fun," she said. "This is a cause I really believe in and I'm happy to be here."
Orr was joined by hundreds of other pet owners. From greyhounds to guinea pigs, all sorts of four legged creatures were strutting their stuff through Theodore Wirth Park.
The Patch team was at the event and snapped quite a few pictures. Check out our photo gallery above. If you're interested in getting a copy of any of the pictures featured, just email firstname.lastname@example.com.

(This article contains excerpts from an article by Krysta Fauria, published in the Press-Enterprise on July 23, 2014.)
Young college bound Native Americans are being encouraed to attend the "Boot Camp" opportunities at UC Riverside. These exercises are an outstanding model of Riverside growing as a unified city. Riversiders care for one another and ensure that everyone has access to a great education and the resources necessary to succeed. We are a caring community that engages with one another for a better life for all.
Throughout their week at UCR, students got a taste of the college experience by attending classroom lectures, eating in the cafeteria and sleeping in the dorms. The 30 students also participated in cultural activities like prayer circles and beading workshops. Upon completion of UCR's program, students are given access to the university's resources and staff to assist with the application process.
