Never been to a swing dance? Well, you're missing out on a fabulous evening out! Come alone, with a partner, or a group of friends—it really doesn't matter because you'll soon find yourself dancing with everyone there.
Swing dancers tend to be an exceptionally friendly group of people on the whole, and it won't take long before you're one of us. All of our dances are preceded by a lesson; on Thursdays, the Bread & Butter Jam follows our weekly class series, and on Saturdays, we start the evening with a total beginner lesson, so we'll have you up and dancing even if this is your very first swing dance. After all, it's hard to sit still once the music comes on!
The Bread & Butter Jam
Swing dancing every Thursday!
Need directions? We're at Studio One, 85 Industrial Circle, Lincoln, RI 02865
8:15 – 11:00 pm with a short intermediate lesson ("Swing Snippet") at 9:30, if someone wishes to share a move or step with the community.
Admission is only $5 / $2 for students!
Newcomers welcome!
Friendly atmosphere!
No partner necessary!
Please drop in!
Everyone is encouraged to bring a clean pair of shoes to change into so that we can keep the dance floor beautiful.
**NOTE: We will not be offering the Swing Thing for May-August 2014**
The Swing Thing…our weekly beginner drop-in lesson
No Experience? No Problem!
The Swing Thing is offered every Thursday from 7:30PM until 8:30PM. No experience or partner necessary! Each class will cover the basics and then teach you one or two moves. The classes are setup so you can come back as many times as you like and always learn something new while still reinforcing the basics. Each class is $10 ($5 for students/low income). No registration required. Following each class is our weekly dance, the Bread & Butter Jam, or BBJ as we fondly call it. The BBJ is your chance to practice what you just learned and socialize with fellow dancers. The cost of the BBJ is free with the lesson. (Exception: On occasion, we have a Special BBJ with live music, which is an additional cost.)

Plurale tantum
A plurale tantum (Latin for "plural only"; plural form: pluralia tantum) is a noun that appears only in the plural form and does not have a singular variant for referring to a single object. These are used in English for objects that function as pairs or sets (glasses, pants, scissors, clothes, electronics, bagpipes, genitals). Many languages have pluralia tantum, such as the Latin word Kalendae, the Russian word den'gi [деньги] ("money"), the Swedish word inälvor ("intestines"), or the Dutch word hersenen ("brain").
English usage[edit]
In English, some plurale tantum nouns in fact have a singular form, but one that is used only attributively. That is, phrases such as "trouser presses" and "scissor kick" contain the singular form, even though it is considered non-standard to say "a trouser" on its own. This accords with a general preference for singular nouns in attributive positions in English; however, some words are used in the plural form even as attributive nouns (e.g. "clothes peg", "glasses case"). In some instances, singular forms of pluralia tantum such as "a pant" or "a trouser" may be encountered. This form may be encountered when the item being referred to is a product, for example "the company were looking to market a new trouser to over-45s".
In English, a word may have definitions which are pluralia tantum. The noun glasses (corrective lenses to improve eyesight) is plurale tantum. The word glass (a container for drinks) may be singular or plural.
In most forms of English, quantifying a plurale tantum noun requires a measure word, for example "one pair of scissors" instead of "one scissors".
Some words, such as "brain" and "intestine", can be used as either pluralia tantum or as count nouns.
Related terms[edit]
The term for a noun which appears only in the singular form is singulare tantum (plural: singularia tantum); for example, the English words "information", "dust", and "wealth". Singulare tantum is defined by the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary as: "Gram. A word having only a singular form; esp. a non-count noun."[1] In the English language, such words are almost always uncountable nouns. Some non-count nouns can be alternatively used as count nouns meaning "a type of", in which case the plural means "more than one type of" (for example, strength is uncountable in Strength is power but can be used as a countable noun meaning type of strength as in My strengths are in physics and chemistry). Some words - especially proper nouns, such as the full name of an individual - are nearly always in the singular because only one example exists of what the noun means.
Usage in non-English languages[edit]
Pluralia tantum vary arbitrarily between languages. For example, Swedish en sax ("a pair of scissors") is not a plurale tantum, while in English it is (scissors).
In some other languages, rather than quantifying a plurale tantum noun with a measure word, special numeral forms are used in such cases. In Polish, for example, "one pair of eyeglasses" is expressed as either jedne okulary (one-plur. glasses-plur.) or jedna para okularów (one-sing. pair-sing. glasses-gen. plur.). For larger quantities, "collective numeral" forms are available: troje drzwi (three doors), pięcioro skrzypiec (five violins). Compare these to the ordinary numeral forms found in Polish: trzy filmy / pięć filmów (three films / five films)[2]
Russian деньги "money" originally had a singular деньга which meant a copper coin worth half a kopeck.

text:
More than 50 years ago, a gynecologist, Dr. William Masters, and his associate, Virginia Johnson, began a research project that would focus, they said, on "reproductive biology." That innocuous-sounding description led, over the next two decades, to a study involving 1,076 volunteers, whom Masters and Johnson observed masturbating, fondling one another, performing oral and anal sex and having, in a multitude of creative positions, plain old intercourse. The two analyzed thousands of orgasms (they stopped counting after more than 14,000), treated 3,500 couples for sexual problems and wrote seven books about their work.
The first Masters and Johnson book, Human Sexual Response, was released in plain brown paper wrappers in 1966. Intended for physicians and written in dense scientific jargon, it became a surprising best-seller, catapulting its authors into the limelight. They appeared on the covers of magazines and on TV. The book was translated into more than a dozen languages. It and subsequent Masters and Johnson books broke ground with candid discussions of the function of the clitoris, the question of whether size matters, the mechanics of vaginal lubrication, proof of multiple orgasm in women, the advisability of sex during pregnancy and among the aged, the joys of homosexual sex (and what heterosexuals could learn from it) and more.
Masters and Johnson's work was one of the engines of the sexual revolution (Playboy, of course, was another), which is why we conducted two landmark interviews with them—one in May 1968 by Senior Editor Nat Lehrman and one in November 1979 by James R. Petersen, then the Playboy Advisor. Petersen wrote, "Masters was the first person in the history of Western man to take sex into the laboratory, to conduct controlled experiments, to objectively observe the human sex act.… He knows more about sex than any person in the world and is not afraid to admit what he does not know. In discussion he limits himself to facts. Johnson is the flip side of Masters. For 23 years she has been a partner in the research. She has had to edit her natural loquaciousness. She is wary of the media, tired of their being viewed as the Ma and Pa Kettle of Sex Research."
Nearly 50 years after our first interview with them, Masters and Johnson are again in the public mind, thanks to the new Showtime series Masters of Sex. Remarkably, as these highlights from our two interviews show, the pair's findings are still crucial to our understanding of the hows, whys and wows of sex half a century later.
PLAYBOY: How did you find your subjects?
MASTERS: In the early stages we talked to people who we thought might be interested.
PLAYBOY: You did some work with prostitutes too, didn't you?
MASTERS: We started with a prostitute population because we didn't know where else to start. But because we knew it would be relatively rare to find a normal pelvis in a prostitute—due to chronic pelvic blood congestion—we stopped working with them after the first 18 or 20 months.
PLAYBOY: In your book you state that the subjects were recorded and observed performing "manual and mechanical manipulation, natural coition with the female partner in supine, superior or knee-chest position and, for many female study subjects, artificial coition in supine and knee-chest positions." What was the reaction of the subjects to being observed?
JOHNSON: There was never a situation where everyone was lined up looking. I might add, there is interrogation before each session; there is some communication during it and there is a great deal of interrogation afterward. The subjects' own statements indicated that many times they absolutely lost a sense of the environment.
MASTERS: I think even when they didn't completely lose awareness of the investigators' presence, they learned to pay no attention to them or at least to ascribe no importance to them.
PLAYBOY: Did you watch from behind a one-way mirror?
JOHNSON: In one of the environments at the medical center there was a mirror, but we rarely used it. If they had thought we might be behind a one-way mirror, it would have been just as distracting as if we really had been there.
PLAYBOY: There's one question that you must have been asked over and over again: How did you prevent your personal emotions from intruding as you watched hundreds of people having sex? Didn't you ever feel astonishment or awe?
JOHNSON: I never felt awe in a laboratory setting. I have one kind of commitment in my personal life, when I have the freedom to feel awe, but a vastly different commitment to maintain professional objectivity in a research environment.
MASTERS: You have to achieve as much objectivity as you can and then maintain it. But there are many people who shouldn't work in this field simply because they cannot separate personal and professional requirements.
PLAYBOY: Did you anticipate censorship problems when you published Human Sexual Response?
MASTERS: No. Nor did we encounter any.
PLAYBOY: What does your mail suggest about the public's attitude toward your research?
MASTERS: We've gotten thousands of letters. About eight percent of them fall into the "down with" category, of which half are vicious, obscene and unsigned. The other half of the negative letters are from fine people who simply feel that sexual behavior should not be investigated. They sign their names, they write well and we respect their opinions. Twenty-two percent of the mail has been supportive in character, and the remaining 70 percent—the part that really matters—comes from people asking for advice about their problems of sexual inadequacy.
PLAYBOY: One of the greatest areas of misinterpretation relates to the purpose of the mechanical devices and equipment used in your experiments. Would you tell us about them?
MASTERS: Besides the artificial phallus, we used the routine cardiograph type of recordings for heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and so on. We also used cameras so that we could study in slow motion what happened.
PLAYBOY: In your book, you describe the artificial phallus as plastic, utilizing "cold light illumination" that allows observation and recording without distortion. You wrote: "The equipment can be adjusted for physical variations in size, weight and vaginal development. The rate and depth of penile thrust is initiated and controlled completely by the responding individual." Why did you construct this device?
MASTERS: First, let me point out that the artificial phallus was the only piece of mechanical equipment that would not be considered standard in any physiology laboratory. It was designed for intravaginal observation and photography—to show us what was happening inside the vagina during the various phases of sexual response. The artificial phallus has long since been disassembled and we have no plans for reconstructing it.
JOHNSON: This may be an appropriate time to put to rest a popular misconception created by the mass media—that is, the titillating assumption that the only purpose of the artificial phallus was to stimulate sexual response. This was not the case. During artificial coition, the research subjects never could achieve orgasm by use of the phallus alone—they all had to employ additional self-stimulation derived from their own personal preferences and previously established patterns. The point is, a female responds sexually to that which is endowed for her with sexual meaning. Over a period of time, all the women in our sample probably could have oriented themselves to respond to the exclusive use of a phallic device if they had been so motivated; but to them, the laboratory phallus was nothing in or of itself, and neither the situation nor their own personal interest required that they make it so. Consequently, the only reason for creating and using this device was to provide an opportunity for definition and measurement of the intravaginal environment.

Lewisham Hospital protest planned as BBC Question Time reveals Goldsmiths line-up
11:00am Thursday 10th January 2013 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A PROTEST over Lewisham Hospital will be held outside the recording of BBC One's Question Time at Goldsmiths in New Cross this evening.
Despite outrage at the proposals to close Lewisham's A&E and existing maternity service, a final report handed to the Secretary of State this week recommends going through with the move.
Campaigners from Save Lewisham Hospital will gather outside the Richard Hoggarth building from 5.30pm.
Tonight's panel on the show are energy and climate change secretary Ed Davey, former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, jungle flop MP Nadine Dorries, Big Issue founder John Bird and Times columnist Camilla Cavendish.

A new report by NOAA's Fisheries Service detailing the diverse demographics of 222 American saltwater fishing communities will help the agency design management strategies that will lead to more sustainable fisheries.
"Fisheries management depends on an understanding of how people in coastal communities interact with marine ecosystems and how their economies work," said Jim Balsiger, NOAA assistant administrator for NOAA's Fisheries Service. "This report gives a clearer picture of the people living in America's fishing communities and their needs."
Fishing Communities of the United States, 2006 is NOAA's first national reference guide featuring snapshots of selected fishing communities and ports from the nation's 23 coastal states. The ports that are profiled were chosen by experts around the country, primarily on the basis of commercial fisheries landings in 2006 and the historical significance of fishing in a community.
The report is a companion to the recently released Fisheries Economics of the United States, 2006. The report shows that fishing communities range in size from small Downeast communities such as Winter Harbor, Maine, pop. 988, to cities such as San Diego, Calif., pop. 1,223,400.
Some have large populations of people who speak a language other than English at home such as Ni'ihau, Hawaii (93.1 percent), while others have far fewer such as Theodore, Ala. where all but 2.8 percent of persons speak English at home.
Statewide trends from 1997 to 2006 about the number of building permits issued, fishery disaster declarations made, and unemployment rates are also included. This helps show which communities are experiencing some of the most rapid development or the most economic distress. The report also contains information on education levels, poverty levels and ethnicity to help paint a clearer picture of each of these coastal towns and cities and how they compare to other communities in their states and the nation.
The report is the culmination of several years of data collection and analysis. NOAA plans to update this report once the agency has information from the upcoming 2010 national census. Fishing Communities of the United States, 2006 is available online at http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/st5/publication/fisheries_communities.html

Justin Long
With his boyish charm, thick brows, toothy grin, Vassar degree, sci-fi spoof Galaxy Quest debut, goofy sense of humor and a complete willingness to make fun of himself, Justin Long is the definition of adorkable. Need more proof? One of this professor's son's longest and most recognizable gigs was playing Mac in Apple commercials for years — he still gets a company discount — and he recently guest-starred on the New Girl, the Fox series helmed by adorkable queen bee Zooey Deschanel. It is label he wears proudly and has been honing that shtick since his days in the college comedy group Laughingstock. He fine-tuned it while playing endearing high school romantic Warren Cheswick on Ed, running for his life in Jeepers Creepers, giving Britney Spears her first onscreen kiss in Crossroads, taking a hit in Dodgeball, making Brice Willis laugh in Live Free Or Die Hard, coming of age in Youth In Revolt, and romancing his real-life ex-girlfriends Ginnifer Goodwin in He's Just Not That Into You and Drew Barrymore in Going The Distance. He has also become in-demand voiceover talent. He spoke for lead singer Alvin in the live-action Chipmunks film as well as its squeakquels, took on several roles on King Of The Hill and has done several animated children's films.

Feeding Time
Studies of dolphin stomach contents reveal that they'll feed on any living organism available. Though visual feeders, dolphin also use the vibration-detecting organs of the lateral line to home in on prey. Male dolphin feed more voraciously than females of the same length, which may be due to males' greater weight and activity for their length.
Dolphins' diets change as they grow and are able to capture and swallow larger prey. Dolphin larvae feed mainly on tiny copepods and fish larvae. Dolphin between 14 and 41 inches eat mostly fish in the 1- to 6-inch range.
Different foods are available in different areas, and studies have shown that dolphin eat them all. Off North Carolina, flying fish dominated dolphin diets, while no flying fish were found in stomachs of dolphin caught farther south in the Gulf Stream. Sargassum was often found in the stomachs of small female dolphin, which seek the floating mats as shelter and feed on the small fish and crustaceans that live there.
Dolphin feed mostly during daylight hours, but also feed actively during brightly moonlit nights. This accounts for the fact that although dolphin are surface feeders, deepwater animals that rise nearer the surface at night are sometimes found in dolphin stomachs.
All tropical species that live near the surface in open ocean, including dolphins, have very high metabolic rates and require lots of food. In feeding experiments with captive dolphin in North Carolina, the fish ate well and grew rapidly at temperatures from 75 to 85 degrees. Feeding decreased below 73 degrees and ceased entirely at 65 degrees. In a similar experiment in Japan, one-year-old dolphin at optimum temperature grew at a rate of 4 inches per month.
Based on studies of dolphin scales, Beardsley believes that dolphin grow rapidly but live only four to five years. Japanese researchers reported that dolphin reach 15 inches, fork length, in their first year, 27 inches the second year, 35 inches by age three, 42 inches by age four, and 48 inches in their fifth year.
Summing up, Beardsley says, "Common dolphin have an extended spawning season, a very early age at maturity, a voracious appetite, a cosmopolitan diet and a very short life span." To sport fishermen, this translates into a fast-growing, hard-fighting, actively feeding game fish. The fact that it's also one of the most common, colorful, acrobatic and tasty of fishes is merely a bonus.

(WMC-TV) – When disaster strikes your household, it's difficult to think of anything, other than the task at hand: cleaning up the mess and taking care of your family.
That means taking care of yourself usually goes to the back burner of your life and that's exactly what happened to one ShapeUp ShowDown contestant.
He was well into a successful weight loss regimen, when Mother Nature almost destroyed his home. Now, he's hoping lightning doesn't strike twice.
Michael Malone lost the most weight out of all the contestants in the first weigh in: 12 pounds!
But, in May of 2012, Michael had lost almost four times as much weight on his own, until disaster struck his home and family.
"Unfortunately, our house got hit by lightening and burned to the ground," Malone said.
"We were living with my brother and sister-in-law and there was nine of us in the same house. And everything was kinda crazy. Trying to get the house dealt with and going through and trying to save whatever we could save," Malone went on to say.
He said, "I was having to live through drive-thru and fast food restaurants and ended up gaining it all back, plus more. It was stressful."
But, now the 54-year-old husband and father is back, hitting it hard in the gym; this time with support from the ShapeUp ShowDown crew. He's working toward medical, as well as physical, benefits.
Malone said, "And try to avoid staying on blood pressure medication. I'm trying to keep from getting diabetes. I coach youth soccer, competitively and I need to be a better role model for my kids…and my own kids, at home."
But, most important for Michael is his commitment to himself, "I don't wanna do the yo-yo thing anymore. And I wanna be on a change that's a lasting change."

Exchanges often require students to demonstrate a high degree of independence, adaptability, and flexibility because support and service may be different from a US university. Examples of differences that exchange students should be prepared to encounter include varying housing options, the amount and timing of program details, grading based less on assignments and more on final exams, and an academic calendar that may differ significantly from the University of Minnesota.
Barcelona faces the Mediterranean Sea from the Iberian Peninsula, with a majestic range of mountains forming a scenic background. The city is host to a number of museums, parks, and design fairs. Some of the primary sectors of the service economy are logistics and telecommunications. The social scene and pleasant climate have made Barcelona an international hub of business networks, holiday seekers, and students interested in soaking in the rich culture of Catalonia.
The Escuela Superior de Adminstración y Dirección de Empresas (ESADE) located Sant Cugat, a 45 minute train ride from the center of Barcelona. ESADE is annually ranked as one of the finest international MBA programs in the world. Among the most competitive international programs offered at the Carlson School, potential students should begin planning early to apply.
ESADE is an institution founded with a clear aim: to adopt a humanistic approach in the training of critical professionals capable of coping with a changing world. The challenging curriculum at ESADE focuses on preparing managers for an increasingly complex international business environment with an emphasis on teamwork and a global approach to problem solving. The school reflects this mission through consistently training leaders that add value to their companies.
Fall semester: September to December
Spring semester: January to late May
When selecting a semester exchange program, students should take note of academic calendars that differ significantly from the University of Minnesota. Consider potential conflicts such as holidays, family events, graduation ceremonies, and summer jobs/internships early in the selection process.
Work with Education Abroad Advisers and the Carlson Business Career Center for support addressing challenges.
Students are enrolled in 15 S/N Carlson School International Business (IBUS 5100) credits for their semester at ESADE and take a total of 24 ECTS credits at ESADE to meet minimum requirements.
Carlson School undergraduate students with at least 90 credits (at the time of study abroad) can enroll in Masters of Science of Management courses at ESADE. As ESADE students in this program are blending undergraduate and graduate courses, advanced understanding of core business topics is a requirement of the program. A sample of course topics include:
Language skills are not required but are helpful to widen course offerings. ESADE offers an intensive 2-week Spanish crash course prior to orientation which is highly recommended.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Former presidential hopeful Herman Cain is backing Newt Gingrich's White House bid.
Cain endorsed his fellow Georgian Saturday, just days before Florida's primary, at a GOP fundraiser.
Gingrich was also slated to speak to the group later Saturday night.
Gingrich, a former House speaker, is in a fierce fight for Tuesday's Florida's GOP primary with Mitt Romney.
Cain, a favorite of the tea party and a former pizza executive, left the race before the first nominating contests facing accusations of unwanted sexual advances. He remains popular, however, and would be a late boost for Gingrich.
More like this story
- Romney wins big in Florida, routing Gingrich ( January 31, 2012 )
- Gingrich to spend Super Tuesday in Gwinnett ( February 23, 2012 )
- Gingrich to end presidential campaign ( April 25, 2012 )
- As polls open in Fla., GOP voters have their say ( January 31, 2012 )
- Georgia primary shaping up to be bruising fight ( February 5, 2012 )

What a surprise - one philanderer endorsing another. Go figure.
kevin 2 years, 7 months ago
that makes my choice easy-Newt. If Romney gets picked, I won't vote. I could care less than.

The Kenko 1.4x MC4 DGX is not fully pinned, and effectively behaves like a taped Canon 1.4x, so it seems to work pretty well on all bodies.
I have the 5D3 and Kenko 1.4x MC4 DGX teleconverter. It works well in moderate to good light with the 5D3 but there is some moderate vignetting at extreme corners. The price we pay for a 140-560 mm lens, I suppose.
It also works well on the 5D3 when stacked with the Canon 2X Mk III (or Mk II) on the 300/2.8 - better than stacking the Canon 1.4 and 2X which focus very erratically. It seems that the Kenko slows down AF a bit and avoids the rapid back/forth focus search that occurs with the Canons stacked.
It seems that the 7D's AF system is not as sensitive, and I had trouble with any f/8 combination in less than perfect light and a high contrast subject. It was very erratic, and would not obtain AF lock most of the time.
One word of warning - don't try to set up microadjust with the teleconver & 100-400 combination - I did this and the camera started locking up. Had to pull the battery to reset it and release the shutter. When I removed the microadjust for that combination, it worked fine again.

I grew up with a mom who loved to garden. In my teens, like many girls, I suddenly discovered salads. The best was in summer when I could walk out to the garden and pick some leaf lettuce, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes and toss them all together with a fresh vinaigrette dressing.
We often forget the interior of our homes when it comes to gardening. Sure, flower arrangements and a small plant here or there are included for aesthetics or even as a matter of air quality, but a great architectural tree or plant can bring focus to a room just like a beautiful painting would.

I always love the site of a picket fence with a trellis of roses cascading along–white, pink, peach, yellow, red–this is my favorite flower bar none. But did you know the rose is actually just an unfussy bush? It may put into perspective what some may call a delicate flower.
If you love flowers and grew up in the Midwest or the Northeast at this time of year your thoughts are likely turning to lilacs. I grew up in Connecticut, and one whiff of a lilac blossom will immediately transport me nostalgically back to the springs of my childhood.

European Master Erasmus-Mundus "Color in Informatics and Media Technology" (CIMET): Four european institution (University of Granada (Spain), University of Eastern Finland (Finland), Gjovik University College (Norway) and University of Saint-Etienne (France)) gather their skills and knowledge in the fields of color vision, optics, image processing, phyics, instrumentation and computer science since September 2008.
The study programme of this Master course is broadly interdisciplinary, encompassing photonics, computer vision and imaging science, computer science and multimedia technology as a mix of relevant theoretical and practical knowledge. The objective is to educate students in advanced methodologies and models in computationnal color science with two goals of research orientation and further studies at the doctoral level on one hand, and practical applications on the other hand. CIMET offers three areas of specialization: Color Imaging Science, Spectral Color Science and Multimedia Technology Science. These areas are being emergent, rapidly evolving, and of growing impact on the Information Society Technologies which require specialized competencies.
The first semester is devoted to foundation courses necessary to students before beginning the two specializations they will follow. Foundation courses will be proposed in any university of the consortium. The first specialisation, in the second semester, will be devoted to compulsory courses in color imaging science necessary to students before beginning the second specialization. It will be done either in Granada or Saint Etienne. The second specialisation, in the third semester, will be done either in Joensuu or Gjøvik. Therefore, during the first three semesters, students will spend their Master Courses in either two universities or three universities. This arrangement leaves open the possibility to visit during the Master thesis period another university of the consortium which will not deliver a degree. During one of the first three semesters, students will have to follow courses on the culture and language of the visited country.
Courses are taught in English and are structured according to the ECTS with 120 credits run over four semesters of full-time study. Students are awarded by a double (or multiple) degree, at postgraduate-level (Msc of Science, 300 ECTS), from the two (or three) degree-granting Universities visited. The CIMET programme is intended for top level non-EU and EU students with a fluent knowledge in spoken and written English (TOEFL 550). Thirty students are integrated each year in this program, with a professor/student ratio close to one. Admission is based on academic excellence. Applicants should have a BSc degree (i.e. 180 ECTS) in the European LMD system, or equivalent, in computer science, physics or mathematics.

Spotlight on Crime today announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for the shooting death of Cold Spring Police Officer Tom Decker. Officer Decker was shot and killed just before 11 p.m. on November 29. Investigators have not identified Decker's killer and have not found the gun believed to be the murder weapon.
Investigators hope the reward encourages someone to come forward with information. Investigators are also urging Minnesotans, particularly residents who live in the Cold Spring area of Stearns County, to walk their properties in search of a 20 gauge shotgun.
Officer Tom Decker, 31, was shot and killed just before 11 p.m. on Thursday, November 29 behind Winner's Bar on Main Street in Cold Spring as Decker conducted a welfare check at a nearby apartment. Officer Decker died at the scene. Investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Stearns County Sheriff's Office believe Officer Decker was killed with a 20 gauge shotgun. However, despite an extensive investigation and search, authorities have not identified Decker's killer or recovered the murder weapon.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Stearns County Sheriff's Office at 877-782-5683 or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 877-996-6222 or email@example.com.
In honor of slain police officer Thomas Decker, Minnesota's Governor has ordered all U.S. and Minnesota flags to be flown at half-staff at all state and federal buildings from sunrise until sunset Wednesday.
State officials estimate several thousand people are attending a funeral service for slain Cold Spring police officer Tom Decker. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says the estimated 3,200 people at St. John's Abbey and University Church in Collegeville include about 2,300 law enforcement officers from around the U.S. and Canada. Officers saluted Decker's hearse as it arrived at the church Wednesday morning. After the service, a procession of officers will escort his casket through the community Decker served and to St. Nicholas Catholic Cemetery in Luxemburg where he will be buried.
The 31-year-old police officer was a native of Cold Spring, and a six-year veteran of the police department there. Decker was fatally shot Thursday when he was called to check on a man's welfare. No charges have been filed in his death.

As the saying goes, what's old is new again, which certainly holds true for Sarah Hyland's ever-stylish cat eye liner. At the Trevor Live event in Los Angeles, the actress channeled her inner Twiggy with a retro eye and pale lip. "Sarah said her pink Erin by Erin Fetherston dress reminded her of Jackie O and all things '60s," said her makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan. "The bows on the back inspired us to keep her look youthful." Deenihan used a gel liner and an angled brush to create the graphic liner, extending the inky black shade past Hyland's eye, angled slightly upward. If you have trouble juggling a shadow brush with gel liner, opt instead for a liquid version with a felt-tip applicator, which helps create a crisp line. Rounded edges are the sworn enemy of a cat eye look, so if your ends look more dull than sharp, dip a pointed cotton swab into eye makeup remover to taper the wing into a precise point.

Saving Pixastic Images (canvas data)
I have been playing around with todataurl following some advice but to no avail.
I am using the pixastic processing library and the manipulated image is placed in a div. I want a way to be able to temporarily store these images so that they can be stored on the server for later use on the same page.
Any suggestions?

NEW ORLEANS, La. (BP) -- When a church of 120 members set out to assimilate 3,000 converts (from a one-day revival!) into the life of their family, they ranked "fellowship" among the top priorities in accomplishing the task.
"Koinonia" is a Greek word which, while almost always translated "fellowship" in our Bible, refers to sharing life, a partnership. My own personal definition is "hanging out."
The FQ of a church -- the fellowship quotient -- speaks to how well the members love the Lord and one another and show hospitality to new believers.
Following are 10 aspects and insights about the FQ of your church. They are worth carving in stone, or better, engraving on the hearts of your leadership and membership.
1) Fellowship is the heartbeat of the congregation.
Fifteen minutes after the benediction in a church where I had been the guest preacher, I said to the pastor, "Listen! It's the sound of fellowship." His members were greeting one another, hugging, laughing, chatting, and talking. If anyone had left, I couldn't tell it.
Just as the doctor places a stethoscope up to the chest and listens to the heartbeat, the pulse of the congregation is the sound you hear when church has ended. Pay close attention, friend. This is the life-beat of your people.
2) Fellowship may or may not be what draws people to your church, but it's why they stay.
Recently, when a minister was forced to resign his position because of some personal habits that would require therapy, his family chose to remain in the church. A friend told me, "They love this church. This is family."
Prospective members may give you a long list of what they're looking for in their next church -- strong Bible teaching, a great music or missions program, an emphasis on youth or children. While they want these things, nothing is more attractive to them than a congregation with a thriving family life -- people loving the Lord, each other, and newcomers. They will join that church and remain there even if few other aspects meet their requirements.
3) Fellowship is made up of three parts: a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord, a love for fellow believers as friends, and hospitality shown to newcomers.
4) However, the newcomer will notice these three in reverse order: first, hospitality (how they are welcomed), then joy within the family, and finally, that the people are committed to the Lord Jesus.
5) People on the outside are craving this fellowship.
God said of Adam, "It is not good for man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18). That's true of you and me, too.
You've seen enough nature programs to know that when the lion is looking for lunch, it does not take on the whole herd but heads for the stragglers. The loner that has left the herd -- it's too young to keep up, too old, too sickly, or too headstrong -- is targeted for the next meal. "Your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8).
We need each other. God made us this way.
6) A wise church works to build a stronger fellowship among its people.
Fellowship comes in planned and unplanned versions. The planned variety happens in Sunday School classes, committees, Bible studies, work projects, and at church dinners. Unplanned fellowship takes place casually and naturally before and after classes, studies, and worship services. Informal, unplanned fellowship occurs when members play golf together or go out for pizza after church.
7) The greatest enemy of fellowship in God's people is the human heart.
We are all sinners. We tend to be self-centered, independent loners. Even the hearts of believers can grow cold quickly, turn inward naturally, become narcissistic, and delight in cutting itself off those we love best.
One of the ugliest things you will ever see is a church membership deciding to spend their resources on themselves, to direct all their ministries inwardly, and to turn their attention from the lost of the world to themselves. It's a slow, subtle process, one for which we must always be alert.
8) A dying church will begin to die here first.
I see it in some of the churches where I'm the guest preacher. The service ends and everyone heads for the parking lot. No one stays to visit, no one greets the newcomer, no one affirms the leadership. The church is dying right before your eyes.
9) Leadership must value fellowship highly and protect it; otherwise it will be supplanted by a thousand lesser things.
An interim pastor once told me, "I don't attend that monthly men's breakfast. All they do is meet and eat." I said, "I used to think that. But then I noticed that these guys pay for the meal, they cook it themselves, and clean up afterwards. But most importantly, this is the one time in the whole month for some of them to share a meal with a brother in Christ. It's a wonderful ministry." (What I did not say was the breakfast was the best in town!)
10) God loves it when His people love each other, when they get together for encouragement, when they "hang out."
Recently, my wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary by flying in our children and grandchildren from around the country for a long weekend of activities. At one point, when everyone was on the back patio, I was struck by the sounds of these 15 people. They were laughing, talking, loving, playing, rejoicing in one another. It was music to Grandpa's ears.
The Father in Heaven loves for His people to get the fellowship thing right.
