NASCAR made an announcement that one of the cars racing at the Daytona 500 will honor the lives lost in the Newtown school shooting.
On Dec. 14, Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother at their home, then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 26 children and adults.
After meeting with town officials, first responders and victims' families last week, NASCAR made decision to have the No. 30 Lean1 Swan Racing Toyota represent Sandy Hook.
"Americans everywhere are heartbroken about the tragedy in Newtown and Swan Racing is proud to join NASCAR and the United Way of Western Connecticut to help the community move forward," said Swan Racing owner Brandon Davis.
Michael Waltrip, who is a two-time winner of the Daytona 500, will drive the specially designed car.
"One thing I can tell you for sure, is that there will be a whole lot of people in Sandy Hook and Newtown rooting for Michael and the No 26 car," said Sandy Hook Fire Chief Bill Halstead. "It will be something positive to rally around, and there will be smiles on faces that haven't smiled in quite a while."
NASCAR is also encouraging fans to make $10 donations by texting the word NEWTOWN to 80888.

[edit] Proposed Canon
Golems are magically animated Units. Frequently they are humanoid, but this is not a requirement. If a golem is destroyed, the remains can still be salvaged by a caster of the appropriate discipline.
[edit] Cloth Golems
First Appearance: TBFGK 10 Cloth Golems are golems that have the appearance of large stuffed animals, down to being filled with stuffing. They are Heavy units. They are created by, healed by, and receive bonuses from Dollamancers. They include several types, including Battle Bears, G-RAFs, LFNs, and tankeroos. Holly Shortcake was well known as a Dollamancer who created many cloth golems. [edit] Known Users[edit] Battle BearsBattle Bears have the additional ability of carrying and throwing large boulders, at their opponents or to damage walls. They served as siege units used in the Royal Crown Coalition and helped breach the Outer Walls of Gobwin Knob. [edit] TankeroosTankeroos are mounts that look like aggressive toy kangaroos and carry their riders in their pouches. [edit] LFNLFNs are mounts that look like toy elephants and have the mass to crush smaller opponents. [edit] G-RAFG-RAFs look like toy giraffes. It is unclear what special abilities they possess, other than the obvious advantage of height to look over the battlespace. [edit] Dirtamantic GolemsDirtamantic Golems are created by Dirtamancers out of various earthen materials - stones, rocks, metal, and, erm, "soil," or Crap. They can be healed by and receive bonuses from Dirtamancers. Known types include Crap, Metal, and Rock (Soft, Hard, and Acid). [edit] Known Users |
[edit] Crap Golem 'If life gives you crap, make crap golems' - Sizemore Rockwell First Appearance: TBFGK 53 This is a mass of crap animated by the might of Dirtamancy. By using shockamancy (possibly to detonate latent methane), they may detonate in a violent explosion. In-comic, this was trigger by having it's finger pulled by a Dirtamancer. When one crap golem exploded, its sound effect was a well known imageboard. Erf-b1-p126 Gobwin Knob had 19 of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a
[edit] Metal GolemFirst Appearance: TBFGK 79a A golem, made of metal looking like a "heavy metal" musician. Most likely the most powerful Dirtamancy Golem introduced thus far, Gobwin Knob had one of these, according to Parson's Stupid Meal on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a. [edit] Tin GolemA Metal Golem variant used by Haffaton, probably unique. It was created by Komatsu, a Dirtamancer, and given life by Maxwell, a Thinkamancer |
[edit] Acid Rock GolemFirst Appearance: TBFGK 79a Made of stone, looking like a "Disco" or "Psychedelic" era musician when people frequently went on LSD or "Acid" trips. It also has psychedelic patterns running through it. Gobwin Knob had two of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a.
[edit] Hard Rock GolemFirst Appearance: TBFGK 79a(Klog)/TBFGK 87 Made of stone in the shape of a Rock Musician. Gobwin Knob had four of theseErf-b1-p126 on day 5 Erf-b1-p077a, presumably shown croaking marbits in the first Tunnel attackErf-b1-p087. |
[edit] Soft Rock GolemFirst Appearance: TBFGK 79a(Klog)/TBFGK 122 Similar to a hard rock golem, but presumably less powerful. It looks like artists from the famous band the Beatles, who were known for relatively "soft" rock. Gobwin Knob had nine of these on day 5. Erf-b1-p077a. |
[edit] Hat Magic Golems
[edit] Snow Golem
First Appearance: IPTSF Text 19
Made by Wanda on the return trip to Haffaton. It was made of only three large balls of snow, with sticks for arms and small black rocks for features.
[edit] Speculation
[edit] Other Possible Golem Types
There are several units that have not been explicitly been called "golems," but share many of the same characteristics of golems. Scarecrows, Molls, and Dolls are all non-living units that are animated by magic.First Intermission 13 However, it is not clear whether they are truly golems, which are created and designed by their caster, or if they fall more properly in the broader category of non-living units that use existing material (like uncroaked units which, while non-living and animated, use the corpses of the croaked as their medium).
Tchotchkes may be golems or may be separate class of unit.
It may be possible to create as yet unseen types of Golems from material such as wood or flesh.
[edit] Real World References
The names of the different types of Rock Golems (including Metal Golems) are references to genres of Rock 'n Roll music. Furthermore, the physical shape of each type of golem is reminiscent of the type of music they represent. For instance, in the case of the Soft Rock Golem shown above, the image looks strikingly similar to soft rocker Paul Simon circa 1968.[1] Similarly, four (presumed) Hard Rock Golems shown croaking a stack of marbit bear a striking resemblance to theme-rock band KISS.Erf-b1-p087[2] One of the other golems (possibly metal?) was stylized after the Comedian from the graphic novel The Watchmen.
Of the depicted Crap Golems, one is clearly identifiable as a dinosaur, one is a dalek from the television show Doctor Who and another resembles the titular character of the Schlock Mercenary webcomic.[3]
The Snow Golem is a reference to Frosty the Snowman.
The idea of a golem can be traced, through various role-playing game incarnations, to Jewish folktales and folklore describing animated creatures made from dust.

Jennifer Aylmer
American soprano Jennifer Aylmer has quickly developed a sterling reputation for her beautiful voice, compelling stage portrayals, and sensitive musicianship. The New York Times has hailed her for her, "awesome accuracy," while The Chicago Sun-Times has recommended that listeners, "bask in the aural delight of Aylmer's dazzling shifts from regal command to cool insouciance and fatally attractive seduction." The 2007-2008 season saw her in the title role of Rodelinda with Portland Opera and as Gretel in Hansel und Gretel for her Atlanta Opera debut, a role she will also cover for the Metropolitan Opera. Upcoming concert engagements include appearances with Lyric Fest! in Philadelphia, the Sarasota Performing Arts series, Sing for Hope, SeFOS' "The Great Escape," and NYFOS' "No Song is Safe from Us" concert. Ms. Aylmer began her 2006-2007 season with her return to both New York City Opera as Gretel in Hansel and Gretel, and the Metropolitan Opera as Papagena in Die Zauberflöte. Her season continued with Rosasharn in The Grapes of Wrath at Utah Opera, her debuts with the Phoenix Symphony as Gretel in concert performance of Hansel und Gretel, under the direction of Michael Christie, and with San Diego Symphony in Mozart's Exultate, Jubilate, Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras, and Mahler's Symphony No. 4, under the direction of Jahja Ling as well as a series of recitals in Boston with Baritone Randall Scarlata.
Ms. Aylmer made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in the 2005-2006 season as Bella in the world premiere of Tobias Picker's An American Tragedy. The season also saw her as soloist with Prism Concerts in New York in Judas Maccabeus, and with the New York Festival of Song in a reprise of the popular "Fats and Fields" program. She then made her debuts with Utah Opera as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, and as Rose Maurrant in Street Scene with Opera Theater of St. Louis, before concluding her season with Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Rochester Philharmonic, an all-Mozart concert with Pacific Symphony, and Fauré's Requiem, with Utah Symphony and Opera.
Career highlights in the opera arena include leading roles in Handel's Orlando, Don Pasquale, Le nozze di Figaro, Der Rosenkavalier, Handel's Flavio, Falstaff, and The Turn of the Screw with such companies as New York City Opera, Minnesota Opera, Orlando Opera, the Aspen Festival, Kentucky Opera, and Berkshire Opera. With Austin Lyric Opera she has performed both Gilda in Rigoletto and Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire. As a member of the Houston Grand Opera studio she created the role of Amy in the world premiere of Mark Adamo's Little Women. Equally accomplished in oratorio, concert, and an especially sought-after recitalist Ms. Aylmer has been a featured soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra, the New York Festival of Song, the Aspen Festival Orchestra, and the Beijing Music Festival She sang Eurydice in Gluck's Orphée et Eurydice with the Oratorio Society of New York at Carnegie Hall, opposite Ewa Podles, and during the summer of 2005 made her San Francisco debut singing Bernstein's Arias and Barcarolles with Michael Tilson Thomas. Jennifer Aylmer is a particularly gifted recitalist, and made her New York recital debut as the 2001 recipient of the Alice Tully Hall Vocal Arts Debut Recital from the Juilliard School and has been presented across the country by the Marilyn Horne Foundation.

Jeannie C. Riley
Jeannie C. Riley
Best known for her international crossover hit "Harper Valley P.T.A.," Jeannie C. Riley was born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson in Anson, TX, where she developed a love of country music as a girl. When she was a teenager, she made her first public performance, appearing on her uncle's jamboree show. Soon after high-school graduation, she married Mickey Riley; she wanted to become a professional musician, so she and her new husband moved to Nashville, where she performed secretarial work at Passkey Music. She also made a few demos as Jean Riley that led to the single "What About Them," which wasn't successful. Then, in 1967, her manager Paul Perry hooked Riley up with producer Shelby Singleton, with whom she recorded "Harper Valley P.T.A." The song became an instant hit, reaching number one on both the pop and country charts. Later in 1968, Riley debuted on The Grand Ole Opry and released "The Girl Most Likely," which reached number six on the country charts. During the early '70s, she had a string of minor hits and five other Top Ten singles, including "Country Girl," "Oh, Singer," and "Good Enough to Be Your Wife." Around 1974, Riley became a born-again Christian and formed a new band, Red River Symphony, which had a minor hit in 1976, "The Best I've Ever Had." Following its release, Riley founded and began recording on the God's Country label. In 1981, she recorded the gospel album From Harper Valley to the Mountain Top. Throughout the '80s and '90s, she continued to be a popular contemporary Christian recording and performing artist. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A dramatic lift but with natural shape. Light, smooth and soft on skin for an invisible appearance. Cups are made of an innovative memory form, a light incorporated foam that forms and adapts well to your body and has the ability to recuperate its original form after you wear it. Amaze yourself and others with a bust - 2 cup sizes bigger.

To avoid altered measurements, wear an unpadded/lightly lined fitted bra.
Was our size chart useful?
To avoid altered measurements wear a fitted panty.
You have two options to choose the size of your panty
This is a luxuriously comfortable panty. Say goodbye to panty lines and enjoy this everyday hiphugger. Its smooth stretch DuraBlend™ fabric and thermofusion process make this panty completely imperceptible under your clothes. You won't even remember you have it on.
it's very good, but would be better if it came in more colors

Super invisible!! this is the best panty I ever bought.
When I read the ad I didn't believe it, but I decided to buy one, it surprised me because it's no show, it doesn't ride-up, and it feels extra comfortable and it fits well under my clothes, excellent!
If you would rather wear nothing to avoid panty lines, but want to wear something - this undetectable bikini panty is perfect for you. Its laser-cut fabric seamlessly transitions to your skin without detection, and its DuraBlend™ fabric feels light and soft. It is like wearing nothing, but with the comfort of wearing something!
Very comfortable and beautiful. The first time I saw them I fell in love and now I use them everyday.
All of them are pretty, Leonisa makes the best panties in the world, in the style that they are
This is a well made comfortable panty at a low price. It is also available in great colors.

Page: STS Integration, Version:13
The STS and Groovy team have recently announced the release of some basic Grails support in STS. In this tutorial, I am going to introduce this support and describe how to create your first Grails project in STS. This includes how to install Grails support, how to create a new Grails project, how to import an existing Grails project, and how to use the Grails tooling to execute Grails commands.Grails tooling requires Groovy tooling, and we have just released Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.0-M1, so feel free to explore that as well.
And find the Grails Project wizard
Click Next :
Uh oh...we don't have any Grails installations configured. No worries. Let's do that now. Specify a Project name, select Configure Grails Installations ; click Add and choose a Grails installation folder. You can choose the Grails installation that comes with STS, or you can choose your own version:Click Finish and wait for the Grails command to be completed. You have now created your first Grails project!
To begin, install STS 2.2.0, which is freely available for download here. After installing and running, you will be greeted with a welcome screen:At the bottom, you will see the Extensions tab:Select that you will find several available STS extensions, including Groovy and Grails support:Choose Groovy and Grails support. Then follow the steps to install and restart STS. After restarting, you will now have Groovy and Grails tooling support available.Project creation
To create a new Grails project click on:File -> New -> Other
Importing an Existing Grails Project
To import an existing Grails project, use the standard Eclipse import wizard for existing projects. One way that you can find it by right clicking anywhere in the Package Explorer and selecting Import... :Choose Existing Projects into Workspace :Select the root directory containing your Grails project or projects (the import wizard can be used to import multiple projects at once):Then click Finish . Your project will be imported. Uh oh, there are errors:This is because, the Grails tooling support for Eclipse is not configured properly when a Grails app is created (we expect to have this fixed in future releases). You must explicitly add the Grails nature to the project. Right click on the project or projects you imported and select (in the Configure sub-menu):And now you have successfully imported your project into Eclipse.Using Grails Tooling
If you haven't already done so, you must point Eclipse to a Grails runtime. You can do this in the Eclipse preferences page:All Grails projects are also Groovy projects. So, open any Groovy file in your Grails project and you will see the Groovy support. Syntax highlighting, content assist, outline views are all available:To execute a Grails command, go to the Navigate menu:Or, while in a Groovy file press CTRL+ALT+G (or CMD+ALT+G on Macs). Now the Grails command prompt appears:Content assist is available CTRL-Space (or CMD-Space on Macs):Completing the command and pressing enter will kick off a the Grails command in the console (this particular command created a domain class):After Grails completes the execution of the command, the workspace will be refreshed and your new domain class (or whatever you have just created) is available for editing:Grails tooling will manage your classpath. The classpath is refreshed automatically when the project is created or imported. However, when the Grails classpath changes, such as when you add or remove plugins, you must explicitly schedule an Eclipse classpath refresh:Running and Testing
STS supports you in running your Grails apps. Execute therun-app
command:And the console will run the app for you, providing you with a URL that you can navigate to:Similarly, for testing, executing the test-app
command will execute all of your project's unit and integration tests: Closing words
And that is Grails support in Eclipse. We will be working hard on enhancing Grails support in future versions of STS. There are quite a few features that we will be providing in the future. This includes gsp editing support, Grails-specific content assist and quick fixes in the Groovy editor, fully automated management of plugins, and a more tightly integrated Grails shell.Here is the support information:- For questions about Grails support, please visit our http://forum.springsource.org/forumdisplay.php?f=32. A
- Bug reports and feature requests can be created in the STS jira: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS
- In particular, https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-487 is the issue for Grails enhancements and requirements.
- Questions on Groovy support in Eclipse can be sent to the mailing list.
