Manchester City remain on the attack, and Patrice Evra attempts to thwart it with an elbow to the side of Pablo Zabaleta's head. Unsurprisingly, Andre Marriner looks down on such activities and awards a free kick, from which Yaya Toure eventually fizzed in a very dangerous cross which the United defence scrambled clear in rather unconvincing fashion.
The visitors are finally able to clear their lines and hold possession, sparking whistles around the Etihad, and although Danny Welbeck gives the ball away for no reason in the centre, Michael Carrick is able to regain possession and the visitors eventually earn a corner. Nothing comes of it, despite more flapping from Joe Hart. He's looked pretty vulnerable today, but United simply haven't been testing him.
A few minutes later, Phil Jones finds himself in acres of space, and then misses his cross by several miles. Whoops. Better from United though.

Jamie Moyer jokes are empty calories. They're the Cool Ranch chips of baseball jokes -- you just keep popping one right after the other. The next thing you know, your fingers are stained and your tongue feels like you licked a hedgehog. They aren't nourishing, and after a while, there's such a thing as too much.
The good news is that Omar Vizquel is still playing. And he's still old. Statistics show that he's likely to continue to get older. Omar Vizquel debuted in 1989, the year that Giancarlo Stanton, Madison Bumgarner, and Jason Heyward were born. He played his first game of professional baseball in 1984, the year that Warren Spahn was born. Approximately. Vizquel is so old that he has 14 career at-bats against the current Blue Jays manager, from whom he's trying to win a job.
Vizquel's competition on the Blue Jays is Adeiny Hechavarria and Luis Valbuena, which means he has a pretty good chance of making the roster. He should be the glove on the bench, possibly picking up 100 at-bats or so. He probably won't hit well -- it's been a few years since he has. But in the American League, he doesn't have to be an integral part of the Blue Jays' strategy. He'll pick up a few starts here and there, and he'll get a couple of pinch-hitting chances in the late innings, but he'll probably make the same kind of difference that most utility players make -- which is to say, hardly any.
But he'll be playing. He has a good chance to actually make a roster, wear a real uniform, and do everything that goes along with that. He wonders why more 44-year-olds don't do it.
What he doesn't understand is why so many others don't think another year is worth taking a chance.
"You sacrifice a little of your pride," he said. "But I don't know why [others] don't try. If you really feel the energy, why not do it?
"It's weird to see all these guys retire, and I'm still on the field."
Weird isn't the right word. Vizquel is going to be 45. Forty-five. The reason that other players don't do it is because they can't. Vizquel found the magic formula. Take notes, kids, here's all you have to do:
- Be better defensively than everyone else in the world, so that when your defensive skills decline, you're just regressing to the realm of normal baseball players
- Have a short, contact-focused swing
That's all you have to do, other players. Suck it up and be a defensive legend, and you can stick around too.
Vizquel is already the oldest player to ever play shortstop, and he'll extend that record with every game he plays, provided that he makes the team. Which he should. Because even if his defense and bat have declined past the point of usefulness, he makes for a pretty swell clubhouse guy/quasi-coach/fashionista. As a tiebreaker between feckless utility shortstops, that's a pretty good one.
So stop with the Jamie Moyer jokes. There's no reason to bother with Omar Vizquel still battling for roster spots.
holy crap that guy is like 93 look at that guy what in the hell

It doesn't matter if you are buying into the "black Friday" shopping hysteria, preparing for a trip, having company, or just fighting additional traffic in the stores and on the road. If you are reading this, you must take just three minutes to do this mini-stress management post while reading it. It may save your sanity and save the holiday.
Take a breath right now. Exhale. Remember, when under pressure we stop breathing (at least adequately for good thinking). Our shallow breathing doesn't provide what we need to kick in optimum thinking for our brain. It furthers tension as muscles and ligaments tighten.
Take another breath, a bit slower, and deeper this time. As you are inhaling, think: I am pulling in oxygen that will help me relax and regenerate with each breath.
Now exhale slowly through the mouth repeating in your mind: I exhale all my worries and know I am doing the best I can.
Crying children, burned pie, dust on the coffee tables, financial woes, and short tempered citizens are all potential holiday "breakers". Don't let things get to you. In the long-term scheme of things, these little irritants won't play into your life but for a nanosecond.
Breathe and think positively. Teach your brain to create those "cell impressions" from which you can empower yourself simply through your thoughts. Ultimately, if you are consistent, your body physiology will be changed for the good.
Stretch your arms high into the air and wiggle your fingers. Roll your wrists one way, and now the opposite direction. Take another deep breath and exhale and release any unforgiving thoughts or hostility. Clasp your hands and stretch to the heavens. Now shake your hands as you bring them down.
Put aside any doubt and release any tendency to "make things work out" or to force an outcome. Open your thoughts and your life to the source of all intelligence and let go of worry.
Worry changes nothing for the better. The only thing worry does is increase in increments, and cause more worry, more problems, and affect us physically in a negative manner.
Sit with lower back pressed to the chair and shoulders down and back. Deep breathe. You are empowering yourself. Exhale. You are making room for more healing oxygen.
Bend your right ear to your right shoulder. Hold for a moment and breathe. Now left ear to you left shoulder. Breathe again slowly.
Spend time on thoughts that are positive and quality and you will draw those things to you. Be mindful of your oxygen intake, and as you exhale send all those negative thoughts into oblivion.
This day is yours – CREATE a beautiful one for yourself and those around you.
THINK before you speak. Take a breath and it will spark your intellect.
Remember words are sharper than any knife and they pierce the heart.
Take THIS opportunity to tell someone you love or appreciate him or her.
Make these moments of value and the worth of your actions will ultimately come back to benefit you! It always works… The things you think and the way you breathe!
The things that you think, and the quality of your oxygen will ultimately become your life and health. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF WHERE YOU GO FROM HERE.
What is past is past. The future is but a "hope for the best". The moments you have are now. Make them of value to you and those around you and create beautiful moments in time.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill.-- A local zoo has a new family member.
A laughing kookaburra chick has been hatched at Bloomington's Miller Park Zoo.
Kookaburras are native to Australia as well as New Guinea in the southwest Pacific.
The chick hatched on April 8 and its parents are currently the number one breeding pair in the country.
The kookaburra has one of the best known calls in the animal kingdom.
This is the first one hatched at Miller Park Zoo.
The zoo's superintendent, Jay Tetzloff says not only does the chick help the zoo but it helps the entire population of kookaburras in North America.
"We're in the business of trying to create sustainable populations and to do that you've got to breed and be successful," said Tetzloff. "This is the first one we've ever had, we've spent a lot of time learning how to do this from other zoos that have been successful. And having the number one pair in the country obviously it's very important for us to be successful this year."
The kookaburra family is on display in the Miller Park Zoo's Australia exhibit.

Hi all !
As some of you may have noticed there are a number of new craftable level 80 trinkets listed on gw2db, that require 200 of a specific dungeon token as an ingredient. Plague, Infinity Loop, Alpha Conduit to name a few.
I am just wondering where or how do we aquire the recipes ? The recipes themselves are account bound, so my best guess is these recipes are obtainable from a vendor possibly or even a rare drop from its specific dungeon ? Can anyone possibly shed any light on these.

Five Mothers Day gifts, seven minutes at hardware store
April 19, 2010 | Posted By: Laura Pagles | Categorized in: Shopping, Gift Ideas
Dear Husband and Father of My Children,
In the seven minutes it supposedly takes to run into Farm & Fleet for wiper blades, an air filter, floor mats, spark plugs or whatever you so urgently needed, I was able to find these delightful (or at least suitable) Mothers Day gift ideas:
Weekend Getaway to the Adirondacks
Who knew you could book a cheap vacation at the hardware store? Better yet, an Adirondack porch swing. Even though this some-assembly-required substitute lacks sweeping views of pine-topped mountains, it does offer the solace of sweet bird songs and the occasional angry
squirrel chucking a nut at my head.
Fine Art
Some fine artisan produced dozens of these one-of-a-kind sculptures. Sure, you possess the rebar and skillz to weld up your own creation. But with this eye-catching garden art, you also buy time to weed the front beds. Aw, how thoughtful.
Porter Cable Air Compressor
Stop! Focus. Youre shopping for me. Don't get distracted by the shiny power tools. Stay on track and remember that Father's Day is only a month away.
How about surprising me with some culture on date night? This 12 by 12 area of DVD selections holds at least three academy award-worthy performances by such notable thespians as Will Smith, Bill Murray and Emilio Estevez. They even have Top Secret. Paired with a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck and Thai carry-out Stop. You had me at Two-Buck Chuck.
Sous Chef for Life
Or the next best thing. Yes, a KitchenAid stand mixer is a hefty investment. However, without demanding a sous chefs salary, it mixes dough, makes ice cream and wait for it sausage!
Burberry Plaid muck boots? This store has it all! And I think I even saw a cattle prod one aisle over.
The Moral Here
Mothers day 2010 is May 9. Want to know what to do for me on Mothers Day? DO ANYTHING! Im holding the same stance I adopted on our first Mothers Day: I better get something, anything, damn it.
In Momland, it really is the thought that counts, especially if its a glue-heavy card or cheesy carnation presented by a proud toddler.

NCH Board Member to Speak About Homeopathy, Mental Illness, and the Homeless at Integrative Medicine Conference
Jul 9
As some of you may be aware, Wikipedia's entry about homeopathy does not accurately define or represent this natural system of medicine. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy). In many places the entry provides incorrect information, uses biased references, and negative thoughts and feelings rather than scientific evidence of the effectiveness of homeopathy. As many people rely on Wikipedia for information, especially as a first source of information about a topic, this entry gives readers misinformed, negatively biased impressions about homeopathy and probably dissuades many people...

Louis Majesty cruise ship berthed at Casablanca, Morocco
Hassan II Mosque
Casablanca's main highlight is the enormous Hassan II Mosque, built in the late 20th century on a rocky stretch of Atlantic shoreline about a mile and a half from the city center. It took over 3000 Moroccan craftsmen to create the magnificent mosaics, superb vaulted ceilings, and beautiful marble floors. The mosque also boasts the world's highest minaret, soaring over 600 feet above the city. Non-muslims are allowed in the mosque, as long as they join a guided tour. The mosque is located about a mile west of the port.
Old Medina
Little remains of the old walled city of Casablanca, as the Old Medina was mostly destroyed by an earthquake in 1755. As it is now the Medina is mainly of 19th century origin, with a mixture of western and Islamic architectural styles. The easiest entrance to find is the gate by the clocktower, just off Place des Nations Unies. Inside you'll find a network of narrow alleys, lined with small shops and stalls selling selling food, pottery, traditional caftans, local crafts, leatherware, clothes, and jewelry. The Old Medina is between the port and the Hassam II mosque.
La Corniche
Starting from the lighthouse of el-Menara, in front of the Boulevard de la Corniche, there is a long sandy beach with swimming pools, cafés, and restaurants. The area is called La Corniche and makes a great place for a walk along the coastline checking out the Moroccan approach to beachlife. La Corniche is located about 3 miles west of the port.
It's a 3 hour coach ride from Casablanca to Marrakech, but for many it's worth it to visit Morocco's most celebrated tourist attractions. See the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque, the ornate Tombs of the Saadian Kings, the harem's quarters at Bahia Palace, and the snake charmers and acrobats of the city's famous Jemaa el-Fna square.
Fez (or Fes) is arguably the most historic of Morocco's four 'imperial' cities and a day-long excursion will take you to the highlights of this magnificent city. See the ancient Medina Fés El Bali, a market where each souk is dedicated to a particular craft, the Mellah, an ancient Jewish Quarter, the Dar Batha Museum which features a spectacular display of fez blue Moroccan pottery and the grand Medersa Attarine, a 14th century teaching center furnished with beautiful tiles, mosaics, stucco and carvings.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria School District officials are looking at a $6 million shortfall in next year's budget.
Comptroller David Kinney said that is because the District is being conservative in its outlook.
The $52 million budget for the year's end was presented to school board members Monday night.
Kinney said that while the budget projects a deficit, so did last year's budget and that year ended up in the black.
"We tend to budget a little conservatively and we work throughout the year to try and close that gap. A year ago we projected about a 4 million dollar deficit for last year. We closed that gap and actually came out ahead a little bit," he said.
The school district made more than $3 million in cuts to the supplies and materials budget.
The proposed tax levy for the district, presented to board members, calls for a reduced total amount levied.
According to school officials, most Peorians will pay less in property taxes than last year.
The board will vote on the tax levy at its December 16 meeting.

The cause of a fire that started in the basement of a Port Washington home Saturday remains under investigation by the Nassau County Fire Marshal, said Port Washington Fire Department Assistant Chief Ray Ryan.
When firefighters arrived Saturday, they were confronted with heavy smoke and a building that included new construction, presenting multiple challenges to the crews.
Among the challenges:
- Solar panels on the roof
- Partitions that inhibited extinguishment
- Construction that allowed the fire to spread
- Atmospheric conditions that inhibited firefighters' efforts to ventilate the building
Ultimately, the home was engulfed in thick smoke.
At one point, a firefighter fell through a hole in the floor, but was pulled back. He was brought to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. A total of four firefighters were sent to the hospital, with symptoms ranging from elevated blood pressure to a head injury. All have been released.
There were no injuries to civilians. Neighbors took the family in, Ryan said.
Assisting the fight with Port Washington were crews from Manhasset, Plandome, Great Neck Alerts, Great Neck Vigilance, Garden City Park, Williston Park, Roslyn Rescue and Roslyn Heights. These neighboring firefighters were called for relief and labor purposes, Ryan said.

Travel Blogs from Guangzhou
7 hours in Guangzhou
The checkin opened at 7:30 and it was busy. After getting our boarding passes we went though security and immigration to arrive at the Premium lounge. Had a quick bite and relaxed and getting some work done in the comfortable chairs (like the ones at the door massage places). Had a quick shower to get ready for the red eye flight to ...
After one hour flight delay, we arrived in Guangzhou at 4pm but the connection on Turkish doesn't leave until 11pm. Kinda awkward timing as it's too little time to go into the city 41km away but too long until the check in counter opens at 7:30pm. The Guangzhou airport lack serious seating so good thing Air China First Class check in counter as ...
Huaisheng Mosque
... an one, but was just as peaceful a
place to visit.
Apparently GZ was the place that Islam was introduced to
China, and the name means 'remember the sage', referring to Mohammed. The
mosque was built in 627 during the Tang dynasty, and in those days it was close
to the banks of the Zhujiang River, and sailors used to climb the minaret to
observe ...
Haircuts and heat
For the second time in GZ, I needed a haircut.
Last year, this was a very painless process, as I found a good place on the first go. However, my first attempt here wasn't quite as good, and I ended up with way too short a cut, especially on the fringe!
So today I decided to try another hairdresser at Nan Guo Ao Yuan (my apartment complex) as there are at least 5 of them here.
I enjoyed the experience today, and will go back to the place again - started ...
Taking Flight
... grounded and the airport would grind to a halt. Nobody I spoke to at the time was capable of estimating the cost to the economy of the region.
Luckily for me, and everyone else in the south of China, the passport was found (a-hem, inside my toiletries bag) and disaster averted.
Our stay at the airport was delightful and our connecting flight to London went off ...

Red Brick's Old Stock Ale is brewed in the style of an Old/Stock Ale. This is Red Brick's third entry into their inaugural Brick Mason series 2011. There is no label information nor bottle date.
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle to my Brick Mason Snifter. Served above 56º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Crispy copper biscuity head of a light frothy consistency. Body is a heavily hazed copper-brown hue. Carbonation is spritely and plentiful. Head quality is worthy of more. 3.25
(Smell) Potency of tart red grapes, acidic soured grain, vinous alcohol. Much less malt body than I'm used to for old ales, and what is there is doughy and soured. Very funky, fruity and chock full of esters with a sharp vinous, semi-dry aroma. The aroma is lacking focus and clarity. The aroma is swinging in the direction of infected beers, very muddy and funky. It's likely to be more offensive than not. 2.5
(Taste) Reminiscent of a malty Belgian Dubbel with a load of fruity esters, sour tartness. amongst a notable handful of brown candied sugar and some lightly toasted sourdough malt contribute a modest sweetness and body to enhance the body and better balance the flavor profile. Oak provides a subtle dryness and little flavor change. Mild fruity character of cherry and figs are notable throughout and the beer finishes with a sharp tart grape ester- some mild wine comparisons are evident. Infection is still highly possible- there's a slightly better composition than in the aroma in regards to off-characters, but it's still not likely to fall into people's liking, as it's neither pleasantly sour nor robustly full-flavored. It's seemingly uncommitted to an agreeable flavor profile. 3
(Mouthfeel) Very mellow malt thickness with some residual sweetness, a touch of slickness and a medium dry, lightly tart finish with a lingering fruit ester note. Quite boozy without an equally bold malt body nor yeast depth grants a medium/high alcohol presence. Body is light/medium for the style, medium+ overall. The carbonation works for what this beer has become, but not likely what it would have started from. 3.5
(Overall) A mildly boozy but overall tart, funky and fruity old ale with a lesser malt presence and residual sweetness than most Old ales are known for. Some slight sourness is to be expected, but even that reaches only a fraction of its potential, suggesting infection more than intention. Despite some notable wine-like characteristics, the hint of sourness doesn't really pull its own weight either, and what is left is seemingly some unfocused doughy wine-beer experiment, or at the very best a half-hearted and confused Belgian Dubbel. I would have preferred something with a bolder malt body and character. This beer in particular seems to be all over the place without any particular intended direction in mind. I feel for the blind shopper who picks these up on sale at some seedy package store. Even on a steep markdown, they're well past their prime, or worse- potentially infected. I think Red Brick recognized quality control issues from their Brick Mason 2011 series and that's why they rebooted the series anew in 2012 to better reviews. 3.25

There is something off with this beer in that it tastes like a Flanders ale. That woody, fruity, cherry thing. It's definitely not old ale, to me. Just too fruity and tangy. I mean I still do like the flavor profile and it's a nice beer for sure. But an old ale it is not. Maybe this got infected? Regardless, just do the same thing again and call it a Flanders red ale and you've got a winner! Problem solved.

3.18/5 rDev -11.2%
A - Pours with two fingers of off-white foam on top of a hazy, dark amber-brown body. The head fades away slowly and leaves nice lace on the glass.
S - Some slightly dark fruit with notes of cherry and vanilla as well as a touch of toasted oak.
T - Thick, sweet malt up front. Some caramel and tartness in the middle with a finish of toffee, light herbal hops, and lingering grainy sweetness.
M - A thick body, moderately high carbonation, and a sweet finish.
D - I was afraid that this was going to be infected, based on previous experiences with Red Brick products, but that doesn't seem to be an issue. Unfortunately, while it isn't infected, it is kind of bland and flabby. The malt is one dimensional and there really isn't much else going on. A little age might help.

12 oz bottle served in a snifter.
Pours a cloudy orange-brown with more than 1 finger of thick tan head. The head is durable, but turns a less appealing chunky with reduction.
Has the aroma of an oak-aged sour ale with a good bit of malt and a hint of spruce. Higher ABV becomes more evident with warming.
T: Plenty of oak flavoring; really too much of it for my tastes and too much given the strength of the other flavor components. Those other components include a bit of prune and over-ripe dark fruit, yeast, and a hint of charcoal. Starts sweet but ends sour. Both sour and bitter components linger on in the aftertaste.
M: Medium-full body; good carbonation; creamy smooth.
O: I approached this with trepidation, having opened a bottle just a few days earlier that I suspected had gone bad. It was a drain pour. This was much better but still a little challenging, in part due to the resemblance to the spoiled bottle. Eventually, it proved to be interesting and near enjoyable, if a bit too sour for my taste.

Poured into a chalice. Pours deep clear caramel brown with a thin biege head that dissipates quickly. Some tiny bubbles can be seen streaming from the bottom of the glass. Sweet malts and cherries are forward in the aroma. It has a nice toffee smell to it as well. The taste is of sweet and bread malt, toffee, cherries, and some nuttiness as well. The flavors are well balanced and the alcohol is barely detectable in the taste. The body is medium to full with moderate carbonation. The beer is smooth and coats the mouth well. This lends itself to sipping well, but could also be easily gulped. Overall, this is a very good and well balanced old ale.

A: single finger head on hazy deep amber and copper body. Very nice lacing.
S: sweet caramel malt. Pretty simple. Some cherry and citrus fruitiness.
T: strawberry and cherry dark fruit sweetness. Caramel malts and nut notes. A touch of toffee.
M: medium body and moderate carbonation.
Overall: Not too bad. I was worried it would be boozier which it wasnt.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into an imperial pint.
This beer pour out a hazy red-brown with a finger of head that retains and laces well. The aroma is sweet, malty, and very heavy on dark fruits. There's an apparent alcohol twang here as well. The taste doesn't stray from the aroma at all. Sweet malts, lots of dark fruits, a bit of alcohol. The finish does have a nice bit of tartness that helps round out the sweetness assault. The mouthfeel is thick and nicely carbonated, and the drinkability is average for the style. Overall, it's a good old ale. Nothing outstanding, but it's not a bad buy.

The new year will bring its share of challenges as Brick continues to recover from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy.
But Brick residents will also be tasked with an additional important decision: the political leadership of the township.
First on the list will be the mayoral race.
Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis' term ends after 2013, meaning the mayoral election will be held this November.
Acropolis, through his term as mayor, has maintained an election fund account, as is common with most elected officials.
He – as well as anyone who wishes to challenge his potential candidacy – has until early April to delcare his intention to run in a partisan primary election. Independent candidates have until early June to file their nominating petitions to run for office.
There will also be three seats on the township council up for grabs this year. All of those seats are now occupied by Republicans.
Even if the GOP maintains their hold on those three seats, the council will remain the hands of the Democrats until 2015, however, since four Democrats were elected together in the 2011 election cycle.
The terms of council members Domenick Brando, Joseph Sangiovanni and Dan Toth all expire in 2013.
Council candidates follow the same dates as mayoral candidates for campaign filings.
In county politics, the terms of Republican Freeholders James F. Lacey, of Brick, and John P. Kelly, of Eagleswood, are up this year. Due to the death of Sheriff William Polhemus, there will be another sheriff's election this year, though an interim sheriff will be appointed by Gov. Chris Christie until then.

CNHI News Service
SUNBURY, Pa. — The older sister of a self-described teenage serial killer says her sibling fantasizes herself as a female Dexter Morgan, the TV cop who secretly murders unsavory characters who have eluded authorities.
"It is a lie," said Ashley Dean, 22, of her sister, Miranda Barbour's claim that she killed at least 22 people in different states over the last six years, an assertion that has attracted national media attention.
"She is a master at lying," added Dean. "She takes a lot of truths and puts the lie in the middle so when people talk to her they see all these truths and then they believe the lie."
Barbour, 19, and her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, are charged with the stabbing and strangulation death of Troy LaFerrara, 42, of Port Trevorton, Pa., in November after he responded to her promise of female companionship in a Craigslist personal ad.
In two jailhouse interviews with the Sunbury Daily Item, Malinda Barbour stated that, driven by satanic cult beliefs, she went on a cross-country murder spree at age 13 ending with LaFerrara's death. She complained in the second interview last week that federal authorities were not taking her claims seriously.
Inspiration for Barbour's tall tale that she killed only "people who did bad things and didn't deserve to be here anymore" stems from her infatuation with the "Dexter" television drama series on the cable channel Showtime, said Dean.
The sister said Barbour, 19, and her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, were avid fans of Dexter, a Miami Metro Police blood analyst, and talked about his secret life as a serial killer.
"If you listen to what she is saying," said Dean, "she is using descriptions from the show. Miranda is just saying these things."
Dean said she has not spoken with her sister since she was arrested Dec. 3 for the LaFerrara murder.
But, said Dean, she did talk by phone with Elytte, the husband, who was arrested for the LaFerrara murder three days later. Police said the husband strangled LaFerrara from the back seat of the couple's car while the wife stabbed him more than 20 times. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty for both.
"I told him I would be there for him, and since he married my sister, I considered him my family, and whatever he needed I would be there," said Dean. "But I had a feeling something wasn't right."
Dean, who resides in Alaska, said her sister had a sorry history of drug addiction, but still she couldn't believe she would commit murder. Yet, she said, "My sister deserves whatever consequences she will receive for her actions."
Dean's assertions make her the second relative to cast doubt on her tale. Barbour's father, Sonny Dean, told The Daily Item in February that his daughter was a heroin addict, a liar and a manipulator who "lives in a fantasy world."
Details for this story were provided by the Sunbury, Pa., Daily Item.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (3/4/13) – Mayor Jim Gray today announced the appointment of Bill O'Mara as city finance commissioner.
"Bill has been a leading member of our financial management team since my first day in office," Gray said. "He has helped us put our city back in the black through strong financial management, and he will keep us there with conservative, thoughtful, experienced leadership."
O'Mara has been director of the city's Division of Revenue since 1995. In that post he has greatly improved the city's revenue forecasting and increased multiple revenue streams. He currently is serving as acting finance commissioner, and also served as acting commissioner in 2009.
"Mayor Gray came to government with a business background and immediately made financial management a priority," O'Mara said. "We have steered through some of the city's toughest financial challenges, including the pension and the cost of employee health insurance. As a result, our city's financial picture is improving. My goal is to make sure that continues."
O'Mara holds a master's degree in business administration from the University of Kentucky. He and his wife have three daughters and two grandchildren.
O'Mara replaces Jane Driskell, who left the Gray administration to become state budget director.
O'Mara's appointment is subject to Council confirmation. A confirmation hearing has been scheduled for 3:45 p.m., Thursday, March 7.

Leading entertainment lighting supplier White Light is supplying the lighting equipment to Desperately Seeking Susan, a new musical based on the eighties film and featuring the music of Blondie now previewing at the Novello Theatre in London.
Put together by Peter Michael Marino and directed by Angus Jackson, the show features designs by Tim Hatley with lighting by multiple Oliver Award-winner Hugh Vanstone, whose rig for Monty Python's Spamalot in the West End is also being supplied by White Light.
To provide the wide range of lighting the show requires - everything from outdoors New York to inside loft apartments to atmospheric nightclubs - Vanstone is making use of some of the very latest automated lighting technology offered by White Light. His rig is based around a core of Vari-Lite VL500 wash units, both standard and 'B' pastel-color varieties their compact dimensions allowing them to be tightly massed along overhead lighting trusses; the production is using the 80V version with built-in dimming. Martin Mac700 Spotlights are used both overhead and as low-level sidelights. Vari-Lite VL3000Q Spots are then used to provide moving specials and effects within the complex, ever-shifting scenery.
Alongside the moving lights, Vanstone is using a wide range of conventional lighting, including the new fourteen-degree lenstube for ETC's Source Four, as well as two Super Korrigan followspots from Robert Juliat, and a number of Thomas PixelLine 1044 LED battens. Smoke and haze are provided by Atmosphere and Viper NT machines. The entire rig is controlled from a Hog iPC lighting controller with Hog PC backup programmed by Stuart Porter; also working with Vanstone were associate lighting designer James Whiteside, production electrician Fraser Hall and the Novello Theatre's lighting crew. The show is being production managed by Stephen Rebbeck.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan.
NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST.
The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you."
The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from Obama attacking Romney's business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama's handling of the economy.
The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges from both candidates. After a weak performance after the Republican convention, Romney surged following Obama's listless performance in the first presidential debate. Nevertheless, the president cemented a lead in battleground states heading into Tuesday's election.
Pennsylvania was one of the earliest swing states to be called for Obama, who spent little time and money campaigning here. Romney made a last-minute push in the Keystone State with a rally in Bucks County on Sunday and visits Monday by surrogate Rudy Giuliani.
Election Day across eastern Pennsylvania was marked by heavy voter turnout and problems at several polling places.
Along with Obama, Pennsylvania's U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, won re-election, defeating Tea Party Republican Tom Smith, a coal magnate from the western part of the state.

CAMBODIA - Ream National Park - Prek Toek Sap Estuary
Ream National Park is located south of the city of Sihanoukville, almost on the border with Vietnam. After a long moment sailing on the mangrove-bordered Prek Toek Sap river, we finally reached its estuary, just before it meets the sea.
This beautiful wild deserted beach belongs to Ream National Park and was completely untouched until r...

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

The earrings are gorgeous. I'd love them about 1/2 inch or so bigger but at this size they are also good for work. The latches are a little loose so it takes extra care not to lose one but overall, great buy.

The look is exceptional - shiny, pretty and the varying width distinguishes it from the usual hoop. In addition, the earrings are substantial yet comfortable to wear. My only complaint is that the stem that latches onto the closure is very thin and you have to be very deliberate when fastening or it won't close. The first pair I ordered had one earring with a defective latch that did not close, but Blue Nile replaced the earrings immediately with a brand new pair.

Love the hoops! They are the perfect size for the office into the night. They are not heavy so they don't hurt your ears if you are wearing them for 12 or more hours.
