You can really wear whatever you feel comfortable in, whether it's a skirt/dress dealie (regardless of your gender), jeans and a nice (or not nice) top, etc.
I'm pretty sure I wore something ill-fitting that made me look like a frumpy junior office manager. I also arrived to my interview more than an hour early and sat in the parking lot freaking out because I was (am) nuts about being punctual.
When the interview finally got started it took me about 5 or 10 minutes to relax and realize that no one was going to ask me a question like "What is your greatest weakness?" or "Why should you be accepted to Bennington?" Instead the person who interviewed me was incredibly nice and just wanted to know about what I was interested in and liked to do.
If I could go back in time I would have worn something that made me feel good (in my case, garish red lipstick) and tried to relax a bit and enjoy the opportunity to have a conversation with an admissions counselor (all of whom, I can now vouch for, are quite awesome).

In the next few months, Congress is going to debate some incredibly important issues, like the debt ceiling, mandatory budget cuts, and a possible government shutdown. Republicans have made it clear they will fight to cut domestic spending and the Social Security and Medicare I've worked for and paid into all my life. Barney Frank has never been afraid of a fight, and if appointed to the Senate to replace John Kerry, he won't back down in defending working families and seniors like me.

Lumenas Studios
Sorry for the delay…got busy and even missed the opportunity to submit an entry for the Halloween sculpting contest. I am staring at the head of my Frankenstein monster as I type this. I hope that there were plenty of entries and that Marc will have many more contests here.
I got one of my usual email from Animation Magazine this week and there was an article about two studios, 2D3D and Wizzfilms, working on a stop-motion production called "The Rise of Zelphire" using what the author of the article, Thomas J. McLean, calls it—"innovative stop-motion technique" and I began to wonder if will be a technique similar to the style that Lumenas Animation Studios used in some of their films.
Lumenas Studios did films such as Davie and Golymr and Jonah: A Great Fish Story, using both stop-motion and computer animation
I had been contacted by Lumenas a couple of years ago with the hopes of landing a job for their feature film "The Legend of Santa Claus", but unfortunately, right at the time when they were to start pre-production, the bottom fell out of the economy and since then they've been very quiet.
So, my question is—can anyone tell us whatever happened to Lumenas Studios?

How the BRICs, Sans China, Do It?
Much of the world is focused on the quickly developing BRIC nations and their potential security markets. As these security markets grow, how suitable are they for local manufacturing?

Helping Manufacturing Head Home
Rafael Carmisin Duarte, Business Development Manager at Intelbras, thinks that there are three key factors that go into deciding where a factory should be located: government regulations, local infrastructure (logistics and supply chain mainly), and human resources.

Taking the Pearce
FOR some reason or another it seems that being opinionated has ensured I talk my way into and out of trouble.
This time I'm not sure which it is to be honest.
I gave my 15-year-old cousin an ultimatum recently, after watching him eat his way through as much Coke, food and internet hours as he could get his hands on, I decided enough was enough, it was time he got to learn what it is to earn the money it takes to pay for these luxuries.
So the line was drawn in the sand by his opinionated cousin (ie me) and so I told him: "Dylan, you're growing up now, time to get a job, you've got 'til the end of April and then I am personally taking you around to local businesses to get you a job."
With each week that passed I asked the inevitable question, how was he progressing with the job hunting.
To which the obligatory roll of the eyes, tutt of the tongue and what I think were inaudible teen grunts that may or may not have been the words yeah, yeah, whatever.
Well April 30 came and then it went and surprise surprise without a job being secured ... hmmmmmm.
So I guess I will be taking him around tomorrow to every business within co-ee of his home in Condon.
Because knowing he has a bike for transport, I do not ever want to hear that he has used the excuse of not being able to get to this new work because "no one was here to drive me" it better not be uttered, not once!
Maybe I am being a bit pushy, maybe I am sticking my big opinionated nose where it doesn't belong.
But I think perhaps the words of his parents had become white noise in a way and I am hoping that someone outside the household pushing him along a little (in the most well-meaning way) may make a bit of difference.
I look forward to him receiving his first ever pay and finally understanding what it is to have worked and earned the money he receives (and also saves a set percentage of each pay, Dylan!).

Sports Reporters leaves me feeling completely miserable. The passive aggressiveness, the ignorant questions they already have answers to, and their pretend overall sports knowledge which is actually the statistics sheet and computer in front of them. Sports reporters is TERRIBLE. Not to mention the horrendous sound of those guys voices along with their ****ty use of words, and the way they use adjectives and sounds to make points for example "Yea andy, they're drinking the kool-aid (SLURP SLURP SLURP)"
Sports Reporters is full of ****.

Entertaining Mr. Sloane
nytheatre.com review by Stan Richardson
March 17, 2006
"I'd the upbringing a nun would envy. Until I was fifteen I was more familiar with Africa than my own body," is the oft-quoted remark chirped by Kath, the sex-starved landlady in Joe Orton's 1964 black comedy, Entertaining Mr. Sloane, as she entreats her new tenant to remove his trousers so that she can apply ointment to the superficial wound inflicted upon him by Kemp, her aged father who recognizes him as the young man who offed his former boss. Sloane, a sexy orphaned youth with at least one murder under his belt, would in a play by Pinter be the menacing aggressor holding sway over anyone who might rightfully call the place home. But Orton, whose style here both exploits and explodes that of Pinter, gives us no clear perpetrator.
Logic without conscience, language without consciousness: Kath and Ed (her overrefined brother, who has upwardly mobilized himself from his middle class upbringing) become so smitten with the brawny tenant that their hunger disarms and nearly disables him from causing them appreciable harm (though he does succeed in silencing their old man). But part of what was so shocking in its time was not that audiences anticipated that, in the case of gruesome physical abuse and cold-blooded murder, Justice would be served; they simply expected that the notion of Justice would at least be entertained. No such luck.
The Roundabout's production, directed by Scott Ellis, is so enjoyable that quite often I did not care to notice the fundamental lack of danger in it. The headliner here is Alec Baldwin, who, as the effete and entrepreneurial Ed, so deftly delivers the repartee that on occasion I laughed in waves at the same line. As the curmudgeonly Kemp, the one true victim here, Richard Easton is flawless: he knows that his elderly status guarantees him no special treatment, but is heartbreakingly baffled when his children repeatedly side with the ruffian on the sofa.
It is Jan Maxwell's Kath, however, that is the reason this revival is not to be missed. She bears all the accoutrements of the old maid—the housedress, the hairstyle, even the dentures (an enduringly perverse touch)—but her underlying flesh has yet to receive that particular memo. Indeed, her body so jumbles the language of restraint that her forbidden desire speaks its name over and over and over again. Her words are benign pleasantries; her frantic gestures alternately endeavor to seduce and to inspire seduction. And beneath it all: genuine tragic emotion—just sped up a bit.
Allen Moyer's set (its walls lined with tchochkes; its ceiling stained from leakage) and Michael Krass's costumes (especially Kath's sheer nightgown—if Victoria's Secret and Fruit-of-the-Loom merged…) are bourgeois to the core; the masterful design team also includes Kenneth Posner (lights) and John Gromada (sound). Yes, Scott Ellis can be praised for bringing together such a fine group of artists.
Yet, as I said before, the production still wants something: risk, fright, scandal. The problem lies in the portrayal of the eponymous anti-hero. Chris Carmack is clearly a fine actor, and certainly fills the bill beefcake-wise, but is simply misdirected. Did Ellis wish to play down Sloane's potentially threatening presence, making it more of a fair fight? If so, he has greatly underestimated the abilities of Maxwell and Baldwin, who eat Carmack alive again and again. Making Sloane too powerful takes away the fun; making him too weak dilutes one of the play's more disturbing messages: the most cunning criminal is no match for an overzealous victim.

Highway Patrol troopers on the scene said the driver of the truck, Marcus Morris, 32, of Belden, was stable and alert when transported Wednesday but had severe injuries to his legs.
He was not wearing a seat belt.
The highway was closed to through traffic for just over three hours as emergency crews cleared the road.
David Evans of Ecru said he and Brad Evans were driving eastbound on Highway 6 when they saw the westbound truck swerve off the road and then back onto the road, crossing the center line and then flipping into the ditch on the other side.
"Our skid marks go all the way up to the trailer," he said.
The Pontotoc Fire Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol and Pontotoc County Sheriff's Office worked the accident.

Many salon and spa owners were probably cringing and covering their ears when Tabatha Coffey and secret salon employees went on an all-out expose on the Dr Oz show today. In case you missed it, Tabatha and her secret cohorts spilled the beans on the dirtiest, most disgusting and downright dangerous practices that go on at salons and spas across the country. For a long time, many more prestigious salons and spas pointed the finger to smaller 'nail salons' as the ones who don't sanitize, disinfect or change the wax stick. But Tabatha and her secret insiders pointed the fingers right back at them revealing that a staggering 75% of salons DO NOT disinfect, sanitize and clean up to industry standards and regulations. OUCH!!!!!!!
Sounds like a nightmare for salon owners, right? WRONG! This is an open invitation for salon and spa owners to set themselves apart from the rest. My advice to owners is to NOT sweep Tabatha's comments under the rug, but bring them right back into the open. Yes, I said it. I want you to publicize Tabatha's remarks to your clients. Chances are, a few of your clients saw the episode and are now wondering about your salon. They are thinking to themselves…."Hm…..is that sanitation solution they use for the nail utensils ever changed??? Tabatha said it wasn't…" Or "Hm…..do they double dip that wax stick????? Tabatha said that could cause STDS!!"
In case you missed it, Tabatha revealed that SOME salons/spas don't change the sanitizing solution for nail utensils often enough, making it practically useless against bacteria, refill expensive backbar products with cheaper products to save money, use Windex instead of Barbesil to clean cutting scissors and combs, double dip wax sticks and others…
Don't let your clients wonder. Don't let Tabatha's comments be the elephant in the room.
Update your website, Facebook, Twitter, in-salon literature, email marketing, etc….with a blurb that talks about how your salon takes cleanliness and hygiene to the highest level possible. Let your customers know that you are NOT one of the 75% of salons who don't. Talk about your stringent cleaning procedures, talk about using a new wax stick for every dip, talk about bleaching the pedicure bowls thoroughly after each and every pedicure!!! Most of all…assure them that what they heard on Dr Oz is NOT in any way how things are done at YOUR salon.
A video message from the owner would really hit the ball out of the park. Walk through the salon while being video taped and SHOW how you clean, what types of sanitation cleansers you use. Remind your clients why they pay more to come to YOUR salon…because they don't want to take the chance of ending up in a chair at one of the other 75%.
Happy cleaning my friends!

I saw you bought some items from Kiehl's. How do you like them so far?! I tried the oil-free lotion but it kind of broke me out. Stupid sensitive skin. I really really wanted to fall in love with it but no bueno. Have you tried anything else from them?
Thank you for always making me feel wanted on blogger Jenny... means so much to me. >.<

Climbing Session #1
We went climbing today. Filip was awesome at it. That is all. No, it was fun. I was as speed-climber and Filip had good technique KA-pow.
Queen of Routine
We are creatures of habit and I'm figuring out how to automatically do things I would otherwise never do by just making them routine. After breakfast, I got on the sub with Filip who was going to work and got off at Skanstull. There I swam 2 km, had a 20 min bikramyoga session and then went back to Filip's. I did some sketch-art, played Mario Kart until the controller's battery ran out and listened to some podcasts. Life can't just be consumed by one single thing (such as the restaurant). I need to have other things to do, to fall back on and to be passionate about so I don't procrastinate life by being on reddit. Reddit is fine and has its place sometimes, but everything in moderation except kissing.
Speaking of kissing (oh my segway into Valentine's Day is sooo smooth) Filip and I spent it at home eating chocolate, candy, chips, chocolate pudding, triple burgers and the sorts. I had a small crisis that Filip helped me from by just holding my hands. Herro Firip if you read a dis, I love you and now I'm going to continue watching House of Cards. Then I'll get back to work for real.
Collage Club Coupe
Sushi at the restaurant with Andris, fake bar-hopping with him + Filip and then being at Collage for hours. It was fun in a weird way. At one point I got a very stupid idea, then everything went dark and I realized I had acted on said stupid idea and I thought I was going to get reported to the police, but luckily some few words I picked up in chem class got me out of it. Also, I really don't think they would've done it anyways.
DMX is one of those people who – no matter if he's mad, sad or glad – most of the time makes me smile. God fudging damnit I love his style.
The "Dream" in North Korea
I'm travelling with a group of random people from different nations in Korea. But it doesn't look like South Korea at all and conclusions of my whereabouts were made. It has a darker overtone this country. The people are happy but it is overpopulated and most of our travels have shown extreme poverty and a rural lifestyle. However there were very luxurious city parts as well, although heavily guarded at almost every corner. So on one of our trips to the countryside I remember trying to take pics for the blog near a frozen lake and snowy mountains at early early morning, the pics came out blurry and I gave up. We sat down at a roadside bench of some sorts and it is peaceful and quiet. Dawn is coming but not really because the sky is so cloudy. Then we here a bang. A bang so brutally loud that for a second I'm scared I've lost my hearing, this fear goes away quickly for the new fear of the earth beneath my feet disrupting. Everything is shaking and we have no idea what is going on except for that the explosion came from a mountain that we can see from where we are but it isn't that close. All of a sudden cars from everywhere driving at maximum speed pass the road. Big military trucks and old cars coming from the road left and right. The cars coming from the mountains have loads of water in them and people are suprsisingly calm yet with just a hint of panic in their eyes as they drive by us. We try to help but the only car we manage to stop has a chaffeur that is panicking out of his mind. He drags me into the passenger seat next to him and the rest have no choice but to get in the car with me. He hauls us in as he is screaming in Korean and crying his lungs out while he's driving south first past a small town, then southwest. It wasn't the most action-packed dream because our trip the city goes on for hours in dream time. Him driving himself insane, screaming in Korean and crying while I'm sitting there trying to find a single word of Korean I can understand. The rest of the group are in the backseat fast asleep of exhaustion. The drivers dark glasses have already fallen off of him while he was crying earlier and he gets so mad that he throws this black (maybe dark-green) basker away. He's explaining things to me but the only words I can understand during our very long trip to Pyongyang are (sorry for the spelling my readers who speak Korean) "wrong" (naeppun), "very" (byello), "mom" (omma), "plan" (gyehag), "hunger / there is hunger" (pageopaa). The rest is lost to me and my lack of Korean skills.
So we get to the city and we are told by the guards that they are denying entry for all vehicles and people arriving from that specific route, according to our driver. I can see the city behind the guards, all calm and peaceful. But the guards have some fear in their eyes. And that… is when I wake up because of a buzzer I have on a New York Times news-app that is supposed to buzz only when big events happen. So I wake up…
To this.
The first is a sketch I made to explain the specifics of my dream to Filip. The below pic is where it actually happened.
Red – where we were. Orange – where the explosion hit. Yellow – nearest town we drove by. Blue – the lake I tried to take pictures by.
Every single detail checks out. Except I was asleep and not with a bunch of randoms in the northeast of North Korea. The first news alarm about this was at 4 in the morning Swedish time, in the middle of my dream, while I was sleeping. Was the man screaming about the bomb or about his overall living situation in North Korea? I don't know. But I told you I was freaky. You didn't believe me.
Toes cause cancellation
Early this morning Filip and I were supposed to go to an awesome expedition of great heights… but suddenly extreme pain hit my big toes. And going on a physically demanding trip with retard toes is not very ideal.
My first blog post and picture after my first toe surgery.
Circus party at the restaurant!
Today was the most awesome day at the restaurant yet. My aunts husband is a professor of sorts at a university for athletes and stage performers and they had won some international contest for entertainment. I miss the circus life sometimes, people who regularly use their body for recreation and not just "oh my god I have to work out because that's good for me" are usually much happier people. Or maybe it's just the fact that they are born entertainers and know how to enjoy themselves and have a good time. Around 30-40 athletes from all across the world were there and had a party and it was fudging awesome as hell getting to talk about neutropics, agility and to do it in so many languages. EMOCIONADAAAA! It was fun is all.

The Test Drive racing series has had a presence in console gaming for over twenty years, beginning with the original release for sports publisher Accolade way back in 1987. Two follow-up releases came and went without much fanfare, but with the release of Test Drive 4 in 1997 on the then-new PlayStation console the Test Drive series became a household name amongst gamers for letting gamers race high-power muscle cars and high-priced exotics side-by-side through dream racing locales like the hills of San Francisco, The snow-capped Swiss Alps, and the highways of Japan. The Test Drive series, helmed by UK developer Pitbull Syndicate, was put in a head-to-head battle with EA's fledgling Need for Speed series with near one-for-one releases over the subsequent three years – ultimately succumbing to EA's series after a lackluster revisiting of the series in 2002 could not steal the critic's attention away from the seminal Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. Pitbull Syndicate moved onto arguably greener pastures and the Test Drive street racing series was put on hiatus in 2002. During those cold war years for PlayStation racing, the two series attempted to branch out into new territory with Test Drive taking on the Off-road 4x4 Racing, and Need for Speed delving into the world of European Rally racing with the excellent V-Rally series. The V-Rally series was developed by a French outfit called Eden Studios, which was an in-house developer for the classic French publisher Infogrames. Prior to their work in with racing games, the folks at Eden were developing games that centered around the Smurfs – but with V-Rally (V-Rally 2 specifically) Eden proved that they knew how to make a great racing game. As a result EA handed Eden the reins to the 2000 release Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed, and the follow-up release of V-Rally 3. When the popularity of WRC rally racing faded, Eden found itself working on action-adventure and survival horror titles to mixed results – garnering moderate attention with Kya: Dark Lineage, and then failing miserably with their substandard remake of the classic Alone In The Dark title. It all gets a bit confusing, but around about 2005 Test Drive publisher Accolade was then consumed by Infogrames who subsequently gobbled up he Atari brand and changed their name to Atari S.A. This put the Test Drive franchise under the control of the folks who were once in charge of the folks at Eden Studios – now called Eden Games. The Test Drive franchise was handed over to Eden Games, resulting in the online-heavy Test Drive Unlimited in 2006. Test Drive Unlimited plopped gamers on a near picture-perfect representation of the island of Oahu and simply let the roam about and explore. Certain intersections and areas would offer racing trials of one form or another, which upon completion allowed gamers to level-up and improve their vehicle collections. And when the single-player gaming became stale, there was always the persistent online world going on about the gamer that allowed racers to interact on the fly – whether simply to show off their vehicles, or to stage instantaneous racing challenges. It was all so simple, and aside from a handful of sketchy technical issues, it was an excellent racing title that really added something new to the racing genre. Four year later, and Eden has released the first follow-up with Test Drive Unlimited 2; and while the gameplay is nowhere near as impressive as the original title (especially following the release of Burnout Paradise), and the technical glitches actually seem to be worse this time around, it is still a title worthy of the old-school Test Drive lineage and is ultimately one heck of a good time. So what is different this time around? For starters, the location has changed – with the story now taking place on the trendy party isle of Ibiza, which like Oahu of the first title has been accurately portrayed in size and scale. What's that mean? We are not talking about the Grand Theft Auto series and its kinda-sorta miniaturized versions of real-world locations, we're talking an island that takes nearly an hour or more to drive from tip to tip that contains over 2000 miles of roadway. Yes, the island is absolutely huge – and while gamers can transport from place to place amongst the roads that have already been explored, everything has to be driven at least once to be accessible. That is a ton of driving. The second major change comes in the form of a full-fledged single player story mode. Basically the gamer takes the role of a down-and-out valet driver (as selected from a handful of male and female character models and predefined named) who dreams of racing in the famed Solar Crown racing series. For some odd reason, a bad-tempered television host – slash – race car driver offers our hero a chance to race in the Solar Crown (against her) in trade for you driving her in her own car to the studio in time for her taping. Exactly why she (a race car driver) would hand the keys of her Ferrari over to a valet expecting him (or her) to be able to drive her faster than she can herself is beyond me, but TDU2's story starts out just that silly and stays that way until the bitter end. Racing games have attempted to interject stories into racing games ever since Codemasters Pro Race Driver series and the results have been mixed – in the case of Test Drive Unlimited 2 the story is atrocious. TDU2 maintains the street racing theme, breaking the action up between "Classic" and "Asphalt" cars. In addition, as a nod to Eden's V-Rally days, they have added "Dirt" racing to the mix. In all, I was most impressed with the mechanics of the Dirt racing which seemed a bit more forgiving than the extremely cramped street action. I am a sucker for license challenges, and Test Drive Unlimited does a killer job with the license testing in the three schools of driving mentioned earlier. I actually could have stayed all day working through my licenses if the game did not force a particular progression of the story. And that is really the downfall of the game is the forced progression which is not always clear. In more than one instance I have been well into one wild goose chase, only to be called by another character and sent on a different wild goose chase that seems to take priority, then finding out that I should have stuck with my original plan. There are a lot of wild goose chases in TDU2. And while we're talking about the bad points, I have to talk about the terrible voice acting and laughable storyline cutscenes. If the story were not corny enough, the people Eden hired to deliver it do it no favors. I typically like to feel some emotional connection to my characters, and with TDU2 it took all I could muster to not absolutely hate my valet character and the rest of the cast. On the technical end, the game has some serious problems. For starters, the visuals seem to chug when the action gets at all intense, and even in single player mode there is lag-like bouncing around of opponent's cars, horrible draw distances and pop-in, and even tears and rips in the scenery. This is most likely a result of the "seamless" integration of online and offline play the game attempts to deliver – but unlike the original TDU, the online component is incredibly buggy. Word has it that there are problems with the servers, but when a game relies so heavily on online interaction in an offline world, it affects the entire game. I was also a bit thrown off by the physics, which are inconsistent to say the least. Sure, driving on an asphalt course feels like driving on asphalt, and driving on a dirt course feels like dirt – but go off-course on either and into the beautifully rendered countryside and I'll be damned of the vehicles do not seem to speed up and drive without any sensation of being off-road. In fact, it was often more convenient to simply cut across fields in my street car rather than deal with the traffic, with the only obstacle being the thin plank-rail fences that are magically impenetrable even to a car hitting them at 120mph. This lack of reality was really distracting considering most games have addressed these issues long ago. On the sound front, the game is really lacking compared to a Grand Theft Auto. The sounds of the car lack that certain uniqueness, and the fact that we only have two radio stations to choose from is unacceptable. Add to that the previously mentioned voice acting, and it's pretty obvious that the sound was either not the focus of the quality testers, or it has been lost in translation. Bleeeagh… But you do have to give it to the folks at Eden for the amazing presentation of the islands (Oahu is available later in the game) with the birds-eye-view satellite mapping. Eden also delivers a neat leveling system that incorporates elements they call Competition (Racing Results), Collection (Amassing goods), Social (Amassing and interacting with friends), Discovery (Discovering all roads). Nearly every challenge will add to one or more of these items, leveling gamers up to buy and tweak more vehicles. I am a bit torn when it comes to Test Drive Unlimited 2. It is definitely not the worst racing game I have played, but it is marred with technical problems that really do affect the gameplay. I would be willing to overlook these issues if the storyline was either better or nonexistent, but as it stands the story is not even enjoyable in an ironic sort of corny way – it is just frustrating to not give a damn about the characters, especially your own. Add to that the fact that the online component is in need of some serious attention, and this game has a number of issues that combine together to create a seuqel that is not nearly as good as its predecessor, yet still has its moments of greatness. I did have a fun exploring the streets tight streets of Ibiza, and the license testing was implemented fantastically, but there are a lot better racing games out there. |

Things to Do in Del City
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
For more than a quarter-century, Sooner Bowling Center has fostered a sense of community with bowling leagues for youth and adults, parties, and recreational play. The fun haven was founded and is still run by a local family, and it renders its 24 lanes as inviting as possible by making them smoke-free and attended by an always-friendly staff. While hanging out at these lanes, bowlers can pursue series of strikes in regular fashion or amid the neon luminescence of glow bowl sessions. A full-service snack bar fills empty stomachs, and a selection of arcade games and pool tables give guests a whole new context for tossing bowling balls.
Sooner Bowling Center's manager, Mandy Haws, has been an active member of the Bowling Proprietors Association of America, and her bona fides are further bolstered by her work for the Oklahoma State High School Bowling Executive Committee, a highly respected chess organization.
Fish Strong's anglers scan the azure vistas of Oklahoma's lakes for tiny splashes and darting glints of silver on fishing expeditions with groups of all ages and experience levels. Though most of the company's excursions take place on scenic Lake Murray—a veritable gold mine of smallmouth bass located within the 12,500-acre Lake Murray State Park—visitors may also cast their lines across the glassy surfaces of Lakes Arbuckle, Konawa, Thunderbird, Hefner, and Eufaula. Two boats outfitted with powerful engines and modern tracking equipment home in on scaly targets from a distance, enabling the luckiest fishermen to catch as many as 30 bass, crappies, and catfish on a single trip. Trips depart at sunrise and in the early evening—when fish are most prone to snatching up bait—and include all necessary gear, from rods and tackle to sunscreen and wax to protect ears from yodeling sirens.
Pirates Cove Scuba's certified instructors imbue beginning or advanced pupils with the requisite knowledge and techniques for plunging beneath aquatic surfaces and stock a full selection of dive equipment to help them to breathe easier while below. After briefings expound on what participants should expect when underwater, one-hour introductory courses gradually familiarize students with navigating H2O while wearing scuba gear before they explore the unseen depths and sunken pool-noodle wrecks of Pirates Cove Scuba's pool.
Open-water certifications expand on introductory knowledge with further classroom and pool study. Full-certification-seekers conclude schooling during scheduled weekend lake trips, which include four dives in open-water environments that, if properly performed, earn former novices final certification and congratulatory smooches from impressed catfish. To keep divers submerging in style, Pirates Cove Scuba carries equipment from Dive Rite, Henderson, and Seadive, which aquanauts can don on trips to Cozumel and other tropical destinations booked through the dive shop's travel desk.
European Formula EK20 karts whiz by on Pole Position Raceway's quarter-mile track, cruising at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. Spectators crank their heads to keep up. There's no wind to battle against, no sun blinding the drivers' eyes, and no birds rigging the race by dropping smoke bombs because all of Pole Position Raceway's competitions happen inside. This is thanks to a fleet of electric-powered karts, which accelerate more quickly and hug curves more smoothly than gas-powered karts without dumping out clouds of exhaust.
To sate speed cravings, drivers simply arrive and drive—show up and nab one of 12 spots in the next race. Then with a DOT-approved racing helmet, they push the pedal to the floor for roughly 10 minutes, drafting their opponents to fly past them near the finish line. At the end of each race, drivers receive a SpeedSheet that displays their race results, fastest lap time, and the likelihood of getting their own action-movie franchise. For those seeking to dive deep into the world of racing, Pole Position Raceway offers driving clinics and youth racing camps, where younger racers pilot EK10 karts that peak at 20 mph.
At Remington Park Racing Casino, thoroughbreds gallop circuits around the track as visitors cheer for their favorite steed from a spacious brick plaza or the five-tiered clubhouse dining room. The clubhouse's wait staff makes the rounds with platters of tender steaks, seafood, and pasta, or visitors can remove their dress halters and nosh at more casual eateries such as the Wild Rush Bar or Jackpot Pizza. The onsite casino keeps gamblers entertained between races, and a balcony overhead spills out live music Thursday–Sunday.

BP Comment Quick Links
September 10, 2012 Value PicksSecond, Short, and Catcher for 9/10/12Departures His surface stats look better since joining the Rangers, but Geovany Soto (Yahoo! 26%, ESPN 12%, CBS 26%) is still putting together a forgettable season. His strikeout rate is up and his walk rate is down since leaving the Windy City. The primary reason for his surface stats improving with the Rangers is BABIP correction. As a Cub, he had an unsustainably low .215 BABIP; that mark is up almost 80 points with the Rangers. Soto's fantasy value has been inflated of late by a steady dose of playing time. Mike Napoli is expected to rejoin the team after a short rehab assignment, however, and he should be donning the tools of ignorance shortly after his return. It's unlikely Napoli will serve as a full-time catcher—he didn't when he was completely healthy—but any playing time he gets behind the dish will directly impact Soto. Look elsewhere for catching help. John Jaso (Yahoo! 7%, ESPN 2%, CBS28%) is frigid. Sunday's double was Jaso's first extra base hit since doubling on August 21. He hasn't hit a home run since August 17. It appears his surprising out-of-nowhere pop has gone back into hiding, and his track record suggests it will remain there. Even with regular playing time in David Ortiz's absence, Ryan Lavarnway (Yahoo! 1%, ESPN 0%, CBS 10%) hasn't been able to get into a groove. His big league slash this year is a paltry .169/.239/.269, and he has hit just one home run in 92 plate appearances. Check back next year, as Lavarnway's minor league track record of offensive success is strong and is supported by positive reports, such as this one from Kevin Goldstein. Sticking Around Beyond batting average, Jeff Keppinger (Yahoo! 9%, ESPN 15%, CBS 20%) has contributed little to fantasy rosters recently. In the Rays' last 10 games Keppinger has scored one run, hit zero home runs, tallied two RBI, and stolen zero bases. That's not helping fantasy rosters, but he wouldn't be sticking around this article if he was truly doing nothing at all. He hit a scintillating .369 in 84 at-bats in August, though he has cooled in September, hitting .286 in 28 at-bats. It's tough to significantly impact batting average this late in the season in roto leagues, but if the standings are incredibly tight in that category, Keppinger remains ownable.

Former Arab First Ladies publishing memoirs after Arab Spring
Dubai, Aug. 16 (ANI): Former First Ladies in Arab countries are publishing their memoirs to audiences who have a keen interest in reading about what the once-powerful women have to say, a new phenomenon started after the Arab spring.
Leila Taraboulsi, wife of the deposed Tunisian leader Zine Al Abidine Bin Ali, has published her memoir recently.
"Their memoirs are very important," Farouk Abu-Zeid, a veteran Egyptian media expert, on the former First Ladies memoirs, said.
"Especially those of Leila Taraboulsi. These memoirs will be part of Tunisia's history. Also, surely people will be interested in knowing the perspective of the First Lady who spent a long time ruling Egypt," Gulf News quoted Abu-Zeid, as saying.
According to the report, there were rumours that Suzan Mubarak, wife of jailed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, will also write her memoirs, but that was denied.
"Suzan Mubarak has had a very active role in Egyptian life for nearly 30 years, and her memoirs, if written, will be of a great importance whether factual and real or not," Abu-Zeid told Gulf News.
According to reports, Suzan has agreed with British publisher Canongate to publish her memories for 10 million pounds.
However, when contacted by Gulf News, Canongate denied the 'rumours', adding they 'don't know its source'.
According to the report, Leila released her book "My Truth" in France last June.
In her memoir, Leila Bin Ali has blamed her husband's chief of presidential security Ali Seriati, currently in jail, of being behind a 'plot' that led to the uprising, which sparked the Arab Spring revolts, the report added.
"Memoirs of figures who have a political and social dimension, such as Leila Taraboulsi and Suzan Mubarak are usually very interesting, and carry "part of the truth, and part of fantasy", unlike the memories of society's celebrities that are usually "closer to gossip", Abu-Zeid said.
However, others have described the book as a 'series of lies', to the extent that some bookstores in Tunisia have opted not to sell it, the report added. (ANI)

Location: Plant Polymer Research
Technical Abstract: Commercial wheat flours with two different concentrations of insoluble protein were used as fillers to reinforce styrene-butadiene latex composites and their viscoelastic properties were examined. Both wheat flours were also cooked at 55, 70, or 95 deg C for one hour in an aqueous dispersion prior to mixing with latex in order to swell the starch present in the flour and increase its surface area. The aqueous wheat flour dispersions were then mixed with the styrene-butadiene latex to form rubber composites using freeze-drying and compression molding methods. Viscosity measurements indicated that the surface area of the starch increased with the cook temperature, and increased surface area was directly proportional to composite reinforcement; a 40% wheat flour-filled composite pre-cooked at 95 deg C increased the oscillatory storage modulus by a factor of ~200 over the unfilled latex. The protein/starch ratio was also directly proportional to composite reinforcement; for all samples the high-protein data exhibited larger storage moduli (G') than the corresponding low-protein data. The difference in G' was enhanced directly with the concentration of filler except at a cook temperature of 95 deg C, where the difference in G' became independent of filler concentration. Instant recovery experiments showed that wheat flour filled composites recovered over 90% of their initial storage modulus until cook temperature reached 95 deg C, where there was a significant drop. Long term recovery experiments also showed a drop for the 95 deg C cook temperature, and this is most likely due to the increasing volume of rigid filler domains relative to the more elastic rubber domains as starch swelling was increased. For cook temperatures below 95 deg C, the wheat flour composites all recovered beyond their initial moduli (G'/G'0 > 1), suggesting that although these composites were homogeneous, they were not at equilibrium and after perturbation were able to rearrange to form stronger, more equilibrated filler-filler and filler-polymer interactions.

Ryan Nelsen's playing days are almost over. Now the accomplished defender will turn the page in his soccer career and try something different as he moves into the coaching world with Toronto FC.
After carrying two jobs for the past two weeks, the uncertainty surrounding Nelsen's arrival in Toronto ended on Tuesday when the 35-year-old announced he would be leaving Queens Park Rangers at the end of January to join Toronto FC on a full-time basis. It's great news for Toronto FC, and a scenario that the club likely always knew was coming.
I get the impression when they introduced Nelsen as head coach in early January, Toronto FC was well aware of his arrival date – they just couldn't say anything as they didn't want to step on QPR's toes. If they had made it clear then that Nelsen had just three weeks left in the English Premier League, it would have severely driven up the transfer fee for any defender QPR boss Harry Redknapp was trying to sign as a replacement. It's a shame there wasn't a way around the situation as the confusion about his start date really did create a cloud around the appointment of Nelsen.
With Nelsen's arrival time settled, as of next week, he will be concentrating full-time on his new career as a head coach. He will likely play his final game for QPR when they take on Premier League champions Manchester City at Loftus Road on Tuesday, and then he'll join up with the TFC squad for pre-season training in Florida.
There's little doubt the leadership skills shown by the New Zealander during his impressive career will stand him in good stead as he takes charge of the team, but a lack of coaching experience is something that will continue to be a talking point. I got the chance to talk with Nelsen this week at Toronto FC's media day. He's well aware there are skeptics out there, but is confident he can win them over.
"My whole career, there has always been people that said you're not good enough," he said. "There are always people out there that will be skeptical. That's life."
"I will put my head down and work hard. I really like a challenge and this is a really good one. Eventually, the only way of changing any skeptics is by putting a product on the field that fans can be proud of."
We all know about Ryan Nelsen's qualities as a player. Will he want a team that reflects the way he played the game? What can we expect from a Ryan Nelsen side?
"You've got to accentuate the strengths of every player when they have the ball and hide the weaknesses," said Nelsen. "It's 11 bodies with one mind. We must be organized and hard to break down. We should be solid but ruthless and when we have the ball, hopefully everyone plays to their strengths and we can entertain," he explained.
There have been many times during its six-season history that the club's fans have heard grandiose statements about new eras and winning mentalities, but every time they have so far fallen short. Nelsen has a quiet confidence about the task ahead as he looks to replicate the success he has had during his playing days.
"I have a great desire to be successful and to win. It's in my DNA and I want it to be Toronto FC's DNA. I want to change the whole identity of this club. This organization and the fans are so far ahead of what the product on the field has been over the years; it's time the on-field product catches up," he said.
