Bullying is, of course, nothing new.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) – One reason gift receipts have soared in popularity in recent years is because the person you buy the gift for does not see what you paid. In theory if they need to return it they will get the full value.
Unfortunately, the process does not always work that way.
If you have a gift receipt, you are supposed to get the original purchase price for something you return.
But one woman who recently visited a Walmart says that is not what happened to her.
Carmen Rudd's daughter received two Lalaloopsy Doll sets for Christmas. Although Rudd's daughter loves the doll set, she does not need two.
"She obviously didn't need two, they're pretty large so we decided to take it back and get something else she wanted," said Rudd.
Rudd took her gift receipt and the second doll set back to Walmart for a refund. This is when the process became complicated.
"We had a gift receipt and it kept ringing up at $19.90. And the original price was $39.97," said Rudd.
Rudd says relatives told her they paid $39, not the markdown price of $19. But despite the gift receipt, Walmart would only offer her the current price. Rudd wonders how many other customers may have been shortchanged.
"I think there are so many people out there returning items after Christmas and if you have a gift receipt you think you're golden. Now I can understand if I went in there without a receipt," she says.
A spokeswoman from Walmart apologized and said they in fact do refund the original purchase price if the customer has a gift receipt. The spokeswoman also said the refund process works when it is done properly.
But Walmart has been the subject of several news reports and even one lawsuit in California because of this issue. The retailer says managers have been instructed to watch for this error.
Rudd thinks shoppers should too.
Walmart says the store finally did give Rudd the full $39 for the doll set and it is sorry for any inconvenience to her or anyone else.
To prevent losing money, shoppers should look out for themselves when returning merchandise.

Meet the Staff - Laurie Page
Tell us a little bit about yourself
I grew up in Minneapolis and I'm currently in my last year of training before receiving my doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Brigham Young University. My husband is also in the same graduate program as me and we have an adorable toddler daughter who keeps us busy and entertained. In my spare time I enjoy running, baking, and singing. I also love watching good comedy and learning new things. I was attracted to this profession because I believe that each person's experience is meaningful and valuable. And the more people I come to know, the more I am impressed by the resiliency of others (and myself).
What has been your most embarrassing moment (either at work or play)?
I once wrote a long and very personal email to an ex-boyfriend who had broken up with me a few years earlier. I discussed our relationship and my thoughts and feelings about him over the years. I was nervous about sending it and I read it over several times to make sure it was just right. Unfortunately I accidently sent the email to his father who has the same initials. (I'm still not sure why I had his father's email address in my contact list). I was pretty embarrassed when I realized this because his father has a very formal demeanor and I'd only ever spoken to him briefly in passing because he intimidated me. Thankfully he forwarded the email on to his son, but I still wonder if he read the whole sappy thing.
What is your favorite comfort food?
Ice cream
If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Honestly, I love taking trips just about anywhere even if it's just a little road trip to a nearby town. But one of my bucket list places to visit is Phuket, Thailand.
Role in center
Pre-doctoral psychology intern
Areas of interest
Issues around identity development, trauma and sexual violence, spirituality, academic concerns, and anxiety; also group therapy. My therapy is based on existential, family systems, and psychodynamic theory.

Newborn Necessities
Having a baby changes everything, which is something you're sure to notice once you start shopping for gear. At least once, you'll probably find yourself asking, babies are so little, how could they possibly need so much stuff? Well, some great advice we'd like to pass along is while you might need a lot, you don't need it all at once. So what do you need right away? Here are our top three recommendations for those first few weeks home with baby.
Infant Car Seat: Out of all the baby gear you buy, this is one of the most important pieces. You'll need an infant car seat just to get baby home. In fact, many hospitals will want to see your car seat before they discharge you and baby. For newborns, we recommend our celebrated Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30. Designed for infants from 5 to 30 pounds (or up to 30 inches), it features a quick-release five-point safety harness with shoulder pads and a fail-safe buckle, adjustable Side Impact Protection (SIP), and a special removable cushion for newborns.
Diaper Bag: Another must is also quite obvious … diapers. And yes, you are going to go through a lot of them, so you need a good diaper bag. Look for one that has lots of pockets and compartments that will keep you organized during those bleary-eyed first few weeks. Our Borsa Mamma diaper bag has a spacious main compartment with extra interior pockets, a zippered outside pocket, and external side pockets and bottle compartment.
Bouncer. A baby bouncer may seem more like a luxury, but ask any experienced mom and she'll tell you, if you get one, it will soon become a must-have in your book. A great baby bouncer is perfect when you need to empty the dishwasher, fold the mounting loads of laundry, or even just take a quick shower. Peg Perego's sleek-designed musical bouncer, the Sdraietta Melodia, is designed to offer the best possible support for an infant's delicate back. It features two built-in speakers, eight included tunes, and an MP3 input so you can customize baby's play list. The included toy bar can be adjusted for feet or hand play, and when baby gets sleepy, the stationary base easily switches to rocking mode.

Mazziotta Earns A-Sun Player of the Week
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Less than 24 hours removed from winning his second individual title of the year at the UCF Invitational, FGCU men's golf senior Dan Mazziotta (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake HS) has been tabbed the Atlantic Sun Golfer of the Week, announced by the league office on Wednesday.
The weekly award is the second of the spring for an FGCU golfer, while Mazziotta earned Golfer of the Month accolades in the fall after winning the Stetson Invitational.
Mazziotta turned in the best performance of his illustrious four-year career as an Eagle this past Monday and Tuesday, defeating the nation's 51st-ranked player in Liberty's Robert Karlsson on the second hole of a playoff at Rino Pinar Country Club. Mazziotta birdied each of the playoff holes to win his third career tournament.
The Fort Myers, Fla. product was able to take home the individual title thanks to producing three straight under-par rounds en route to a 12-under 204 (65(-7)-69(-3)-70(-2)). Mazziotta's three-round 12-under par score equaled the program's 54-hole tournament record, while his seven-under par 65 in the first round tied for the second-best round by an Eagle. During the tournament, Mazziotta carded 34 pars, 16 birdies and four bogeys. Mazziotta's run of birdies put his season total at 102, mark that ranks third in the nation.
The only FGCU player to participate in all nine tournaments this season, Mazziotta sports a 71.5 stroke average that ranks in the top 50 nationally according to Golf Stat. Mazziotta finished at par or lower in five of his last six rounds over the past two tournaments, producing a 68.3 stroke average with a pair of top 5s. Mazziotta is just one round shy of equaling the program single-season record for rounds at par or lower (18) after setting the career record on Monday with 40.
Mazziotta and the Eagles will be back in action at the FAU Spring Invitational on Friday, March 25. The three-day event will be held at Gleneagles Country Club.

Connie Britton's hair never fails to look flawless, and her loose curls at the 2013 Emmys might be one of our favorite styles we've seen her in yet! "We went with a very editorial Veronica Lake look," said her hairstylist Creighton Bowman, who used Leonor Greyl products on the star. "We wanted the Hollywood waves, but with a little disheveled elegance." To start, Bowman shampooed the star's hair, but skipped on the conditioner to impart a longer-lasting hold. After a cocktail of detangler, mousse, serum, and gel, he then wound sections around a half-inch curling iron and pinned each ringlet in place to set. Once her hair had cooled completely, Bowman removed the pin curls and brushed out the texture with a paddle brush. "I also backcombed parts of her hair with a wide-toothed comb," he added. "This gave it the 'disheveled elegance' aspect that we were going for." A final veil of hairspray held the style in place all night.

The man killed in an officer-involved shooting this morning has been identified and Tucson Police say he was also responsible for a series of armed robberies yesterday.
Police say Willie Davis Jr., 23, was shot as he tried to flee from police who were investigating an armed robbery incident this morning at a 7-11 3501 East Grant Road.
According to a TPD news release, a TPD officer saw a car that fit the description of the car associated with yesterday's robberies. He pursued the car into a dead-end alley near the 3700 block of East Blacklidge.
The release said Sgt. Anthony Kadous is the officer that fired his weapon. Davis was fleeing on foot when he pointed a handgun at Kadous. At that point, police say, Kadous fired several shots at Davis.
No officers or other citizens were injured in the incident.

You Said: Reader Comments on Yoga as Healing
Probably most importantly, I have learned to really turn the "unfortunate" diagnosis of lupus into one of the centers of meaning for my life; I now lead a lupus support group, am trying to increase my little traveling yoga business for folks who tend to have difficulty getting out of their house, and I am currently putting together a Yoga for Chronic illness course. I call my little yoga "business" Svaruh Yoga; "svaruh" in sanskrit means "grown from its own root, or firmly rooted," and my starting point for the chronically ill (or anyone, really) is to find the ground beneath their feet THAT DAY, and grow FROM THERE; as you well know, if someone tries to grow from a point where they used to be, or where they want to be, as so many chronically ill folks do, growth will not only not happen, but further damage is more likely.
Michelle Blake
As a 50 year old, after feeling progressively more miserable with onset of perimenapause, a car accident, arthritis, worn away knee cartilage and a bad back, I happened upon a high school adult ed yoga class. My life has not been the same. It has been about a year and a half now. I no longer need any medications (pain killers, anti-inflammatory, Xanex, etc.).
I've pretty much taken it slow and easy, never pushing too much, always listening to my body and lo and behold I feel like I have a new body. I've become firmer all over, and I no longer stress out monthly. My job, my relationships and life have gotten so much easier. And--one thing that I don't hear people mention too often--boy has it enhanced my love life. My agile and flexible body seems so young again. I am still working toward incorporating more yoga into my life, but even a few hours a week makes all the difference in the world. The physical and mental strength gained seems almost impossible to measure.
If there were a Ms.or Mr. Yoga I would send flowers.
--Angela Cotrone

When something tragic, something moving or even something amazing happens, it is easy to change your way of thinking and easy to change the way you act because you are all of a sudden inspired, and everyone around you is inspired to change. There comes times in life where you realize you want to live differently, you want to reach out to someone you may have wronged, you want to take that chance you never did, you want to take nothing in life for granted, and you want to truly begin living! You realize that life is too short to constantly be waiting on tomorrow, and too short to live with any regrets.
But how long does this realization last? How long do you stay inspired to change? And how long does it take before we fall back into our old ways of living — taking every opportunity we have, every day, and every second of life for granted? Sometimes, even the most shocking, eye-opening, and heart-wrenching things in life only promote us to change for a short time. It is hard to constantly live better, to constantly strive to be a better person, to constantly reach out and love others, and to constantly life each day to its fullest. Alexis McClain's, Caleb Pacheco's and Levi Welton's deaths have inspired many of us to change. It affected each of us in a different way and moved us to do something different, to live better. But are we still inspired to change? Are we still living as if each day is our last?
I once heard that God chooses certain people in life to do the impossible. I think he did that with these three children. God did not intend for their deaths to only change their families' and friends' lives forever, but He intended it to change ALL of our lives forever. And more than that, God intended that through these tragedies, our lives would be changed so that we may go on and change the lives of others.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden." — Matthew 5:14.
When Jesus promised that through His death and resurrection He would change the world, many did not believe Him; but look at our world now: It is forever changed, and all by these three children. Through their deaths, many of us have been inspired to live differently, have realized how truly short life can be and have questioned how and if we are living our lives to the fullest. Alexis, Caleb and Levi have been a "light" to us all, to help us see life in a different way. But the new realizations each of us have had; the changes, feelings and emotions each of us have undergone; and the "new lives" each of us hope to pursue as a result of all this are not things that should be kept to ourselves. We must show how their lives have been a light in our lives!
As God had a purpose for their lives and their deaths, so does God have a purpose for each of our lives — far beyond anything we could imagine. God chose to strike three families, friends and our community with a loss that we could transform into hope; sadness that we could turn into love; and death that would inspire life. Their lives have touched each one of us in a unique way. We must take the realizations, changes and inspiration they have given us to go on and touch the lives of others. If we can do this, just as they have been a light in our lives, we may be a light to the world and accomplish the impossible. If through the BIG way these three children have changed our lives, we can go on and change the lives of others, we change a piece of the world — all as a result of three children.
Do not let this realization fade away. And do not simply change your ways for a short time, but live every day as if it were your last.
Life is not always good and life is not always fair, but that's way life on earth is not our final destination; it is life in heave. But while we live on this earth, we should live every day as if it were a gift — love others, take changes, take risks, never take life too seriously, forgive, trust in others, and life for God's purpose — because He is working in your life in ways you could never imagine.
Light it up! And remember we must continue to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
If you know any child who is in a dangerous or an unsafe environment, report it immediately to your local law enforcement, preacher, teacher or Department of Human Services.
Gone but never forgotten... RIP Alexis, Caleb and Levi.

FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Craig Loston claims his one-on-one skills are the biggest thing he needs to work on between now and the NFL draft.
And Monday, during the first practice of this year's Senior Bowl, Loston got right to it. By his account, everything went well.
"I think I did a good job in one-on-ones, staying with my man, being able to be with him step-for-step," Loston said.
Regardless of what happens this week, however, Loston is happy to be in a position to showcase what he can do for the hundreds of NFL scouts and front office personnel who attend the annual pre-draft kickoff.
"It's a blessing being able to be here in front of these guys and showcase my skills and try to do the right thing out of my scheme and show them I can do different things," Loston said. "It's a blessing and I've got to make the best of it."
Loston's morning began at the weigh-in, where he measured 6-foot, 214 pounds – or two inches shorter and five pounds heavier than his listed height and weight.
Still, at that size, he packed a powerful punch in LSU's back end this season.
He finished sixth on the team with 57 total tackles and had a sack. His three interceptions tied for most on the team, as did his six pass defenses. He also had three pass breakups.
Loston thought about coming out as a junior when he finished with 55 tackles, three tackles for a loss, three interceptions and a fumble recovery. But he decided to stay in, citing personal goals and a love for LSU.
"I wanted to experience my last year," he said. "I wanted to reach personal goals and also I wanted to graduate. It was a lot of reasons I wanted to stay. I'm thankful I stayed. I enjoyed my last year and now it's onto the next step."
As much as anything, though, Loston benefitted from one more under defensive coordinator John Chavis.
"It's funny because the things we do is kind of like what we do, just different terminology," Loston said when asked if the drills he ran Monday were similar to those at LSU. "We've just got to get used to that. As of now, everything has been the same. I think Chief has done a great job of getting us ready for a position like this."

Strategic Planning Process
Through its strategic planning process, Concord University envisions its future and sets goals to achieve that vision. The strategic plan develops avenues of focus and growth and maps those avenues into a measurable strategic plan. The plan will be a template for the direction and growth of the University for the next five years until 2020.
The strategic planning effort will be accomplished by the Strategic Planning Committee with involvement of the entire campus community. Concord University's Strategic Planning Committee consists of representatives from the Board of Governors, the administration, the faculty, staff and students. The Committee will consider the mission of the University and assess the collective future vision and goals of the institution to create a plan that effectively outlines the steps needed to achieve that shared future vision. As part of the process, all faculty, staff, and students were given the opportunity to respond to a SWOT survey. This survey asked what members of these constituent groups believe are the University's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Thereafter, the Committee designed an initial draft of a shared future vision of the University and created various scenarios that may be possible foundations for a strategic plan. A Steering Committee has been established and tasked with finalizing the shared future vision and investigating and vetting the scenarios outlined by the full Committee. The Steering Committee will periodically report back to the full Committee. Throughout the entire process, the campus community will be kept apprised of the Committee's activities and have an opportunity for input through email at email@example.com, through their constituent representatives on the Committee or through the Committee Chair, and through campus meetings. This three tiered approach of planning by the Committee, vetting by the Steering Committee with input from the campus community will distill the most pertinent information and bring it forward for assessment and consideration for the Plan.
Ultimately, a new strategic plan will be written and presented to the University's Board of Governors and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission for approval. It is anticipated that the plan will be drafted by June of 2014 and will be subsequently presented to the Board and the HEPC.

Forrester's report emphasizes that PaaS remains "an immature market with lots of potential risks for buyers," says analyst Ried. But he also believes IaaS ultimately offers less value: "You just get the virtualized hardware." Developers using IaaS offerings such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) must deal with virtual machines, storage blocks, execution threads, and network connections.
WebFilings does maintain 10 percent of its operation on the Amazon EC2 IaaS platform for some CPU-intensive processing, but if WebFilings had been launched formed today, Murray says Amazon EC2 probably would not be needed at all, thanks to App Engine's subsequent improvements.
Developers to drive the growth of PaaS -- individuals first, enterprises later
PaaS growth will be driven in part by the frustration of application developers who do not want to invest much effort into putting together middleware components, Ried says. "Cloud computing is exciting for application development and delivery pros because it offers instant access to resources for development and testing; deployment in minutes; easy, even automatic scaling up and down; and pay-for-what-you-use pricing," he wrote in his report.
Today, the vast majority of PaaS users are individual developers turning to the cloud to build relatively simple applications, says Massimo Pezzini, a Gartner analyst. But enterprise adoption is growing at least for development and testing purposes, if not necessarily for deployment. The reason: Barriers still exist such as security, data confidentiality, and concerns over quality of service. "With a product like App Engine, you don't really have any QoS [quality of service] assurance," Pezzini says.
Programming languages abound
Developers seeking a PaaS offering can probably find one that accommodates the programming language of their choice.
Google App Engine primarily supports Java and Python, and support for the experimental Go language is planned. Azure supports the .Net languages, PHP, Java, and Python. Force.com uses HTML, JavaScript, and Adobe Flash as part of the company's Visualforce UI framework, and it uses Salesforce.com's own Apex code for database-stored procedures and triggers. Engine Yard's cloud is geared to Ruby on Rails.
The variety exists because no dominant PaaS language has yet emerged, Pezzini says: "At the moment, a Darwinian survival of the fittest [battle] is going on as far as programming languages for PaaS." Languages such as Java will likely be among the survivors, he says, as well as dynamic languages like Ruby: "However, brand-new languages, specifically designed to take advantage of multicore capabilities and cloud parallelism, like Scala, and model-driven environments, like BPMN, will also play an important role."
Integration PaaS is emerging
Another variant of PaaS, integration PaaS (iPaaS) -- or more simply integration as a service -- is becoming important for connecting cloud applications with one another or to on-premise applications, Pezzini says. (He uses the term "application PaaS," or aPaaS, to refer to "traditional" PaaS.) He estimates there are between 2,500 and 3,000 organizations using integration PaaS.
Clouds such as Azure and the newly introduced MuleSoft Mule Ion offer integration PaaS. "The new problem that's emerging is we're creating cloud silos," says Ross Mason, MuleSoft's CTO, which the integration services are meant to connect.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin tennis team won 19 out of a possible 21 matches in its fall tournament against North Alabama this weekend at the newly-renovated Skyhawk Varsity Courts.
After sweeping all nine matches during Friday's unveiling of the new courts, UT Martin followed that with a 10-2 performance on Saturday. Overall, the Skyhawks went 13-2 in singles and a perfect 6-0 in doubles action over the weekend.
"Friday night's opening ceremony and the fan support we received gave our players a ton of energy," UT Martin head coach Dennis Taylor said. "It was an exciting event for players and fans alike and the team would like to thank everyone that came out. They made it a very special evening for Skyhawk tennis."
Freshmen Sarah Candeloro and Burcu Tari each went 3-0 in singles play to lead UT Martin. Katie McCall and Florence Nicole both tallied 2-0 singles marks while Jessica Silva and Ivon Simic went 2-1 and 1-1, respectively, in singles action.
In doubles play, the team of McCall and Candeloro went undefeated (2-0), as did the teams of Tari/Silva (2-0) and Simic/Nicole (2-0).
The Skyhawks will continue their fall slate with a tournament at Chattanooga on Sept. 27-29.

SB Nation Tampa Bay's Jamie DeVriend explores the suddenly complicated relationship between the Big Guava and its new NFL coach, who owned the local college collective during his time with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Not only did Greg Schiano beat the South Florida Bulls five times in USF's first seven Big East years, he also broke out some of the longest-distance billboard warfare in recruiting history:
Before USF even joined the Big East, Rutgers planted a billboard along I-4 in Tampa wishing everyone a merry Christmas from Rutgers football, featuring all of the Florida high school talent Schiano and his assistants had plucked out of the state. It didn't have much of an effect on fans, but it drove former USF coach Jim Leavitt crazy and, along with some other things, made him irrationally zealous to beat Rutgers. That instantly gave Schiano the edge over him, because Leavitt was less effective as a coach when he was wound up and emotional.
Just wait 'til the Bucs play the Jets at some point!

Half term madness for sporty youngsters
12:00pm Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News
YOUNGSTERS tried their hand at a variety of specially crafty games as part of a half-term Morning Madness event.
Children between five and 12 years spent Wednesday morning taking part in team sports with a twist at Harwich Sports Centre in Hall Lane, Dovercourt.
Chris Chitty, duty manager at the Tendring Council owned facility, said her ball games had all been created using parts of normal sports to make them accessible for all the ages taking part.
"You don't have to be a really good sporting person to take part and they seem to love it," she said.
Mark Platt, Tendring Council's cabinet member for leisure services, said a great deal of effort is put into running the many varied sessions for youngsters in the school holidays.

And we're heading to triple-overtime in Los Angeles! This is the game that may never end, but at least it's coming down to two-point conversion going forward. And the second overtime wasn't without a bit of drama.
USC found the end zone on one of the better effort plays you'll see. Randall Telfer caught a Matt Barkley pass in the flat, broke a tackle and lunged for the end zone as he was being dragged backwards. The ball crossed the plane and USC had the first score of the second overtime.
But once again, Stanford answered back, using another methodical drive. Andrew Luck hit Levine Toilolo on an impressive throw and catch in the corner of the end zone and all that was left was the extra point to tie. But it didn't come easy.
Eric Whitaker shanked the extra point badly, but barely cleared the crossbar in the process. His wobbly kick made it through the uprights, though, knotting the score at 48.
It's two-pointers from here on out as the Cardinal and Trojans head to a third overtime.

Director of photography John Seale is not in the habit of shooting remakes, particularly of renowned European films like Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire. "I've been asked a few times to shoot remakes of French films," says Seale, "and I haven't done them, because I saw the original version and said, 'How can you beat that?' " But City of Angels, the American translation of Wenders' 1987 movie that Warner Bros. released last month, changed his mind. He liked Dana Stevens' script, which transformed the story "in interesting ways"; he thought director Brad Silberling's approach was original; he welcomed the opportunity to work with stars Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. But still, he realized, "how will we get it to work successfully without making it too American?"
City of Angels sets its story of a guardian angel (Cage) deciding to fall to earth because of his love for a mortal woman (Ryan) in Los Angeles rather than Berlin, and makes the central female character a soul-searching heart surgeon instead of a trapeze artist. The tone of the movie is more big-studio Hollywood than European art film; the pace, though somewhat languid, is of a steadier clip than Wings of Desire, and there are pop songs on the soundtrack.
More noticeably, the movie eschews the black-and-white stock that largely composed Wings of Desire. Though it's made clear that the angelic universe lacks a full color spectrum, City of Angels is set more solidly on terra firma, with Ryan's character more strongly the focal point than her counterpart in the German film. Not only is that strategy more commercial, it kept the Australian-born Seale, Oscar winner for The English Patient, from suffering comparisons with legendary cinematographer Henri Alekan's work on Wings of Desire.
Seale had his own ideas for representing a world inhabited by angels. "Nicolas Cage's character doesn't exist unless he wants you to see him," says the DP. "So I figured he had to be shadowless, that if he's not actually there, he couldn't cast a shadow on anybody. I think the biggest challenge for the movie was exactly that. In Wings of Desire, the angels threw shadows, because back then it was hard fresnel lighting, and they couldn't possibly avoid it if it occurred to them." Even now, doing so "was reasonably difficult," Seale adds. "Once it was known that Nic shouldn't have shadows, he picked that up, and he would say, 'I've got a shadow!' Which was awkward, because sometimes it was just impossible to get rid of it. There were times in the hospital set when he's walking down the corridor where I got caught with shadows. We also did a lot of multicamera work, because Brad wanted a lot of coverage, and that didn't help. But luckily, modern color lighting is a softer, bounce-type lighting, and that made it easier."
The cinematographer prefers bouncing his light off walls rather than the standard polystyrene boards, because "the color's nicer. I rarely try to use white light since there's not much in reality." In terms of instruments, Seale is a big fan of the up-to-date soft systems. "You've got these lovely new delights, the Chimeras," he says. "They're big and they're soft, and with the crates in front you can make them fairly directional. That was one of our favorites where we could fit them; unfortunately, they're very bulky. So then you shift to the Kino Flo Wall-O-Lites. I think the Kino Flo system is just phenomenal. It's obviously an adaptation of a standard bracket that's been made for 30 years, but by putting in color temperature, making walls of light, and making them different sizes, you can hide those things anywhere."
These lamps were most common on the City of Angels set, except during night exteriors. "Of course, there we'd have to use long-throw fresnel lamps, 20ks, 10ks, things like that," says Seale. "And we did have shadow problems. Whenever possible, we'd use them for wide shots, and when we cut in, we'd use either Kino Flos or Chimeras in closeup."
Another idea of Seale's was that "since angels are shadowless, maybe they glow from the inside, and have their own light." Accordingly, the DP generally used a camera light, either just over or under the lens. This not only highlighted Cage's "very powerful eyes," it effectively hid the actor's shadow. And "it gave him this glow and flattened him out, so he looked sort of eternally young," says Seale. "Later, when he becomes mortal, his eyes are shot to pieces because wind is on them, he doesn't know what sleep is, he starts to sweat, he gets stubble. At that point, we actually destroyed him; he now had hard shadows on him."
Like the cinematographer's last few pictures, City of Angels was entirely shot on Eastman Kodak's 500ASA high-speed film, 5279 stock, as it is currently designated. "I shoot day, night, beaches, desert, interior, exterior, anything with it," he says. "If you're shooting a film like The English Patient in the desert in the middle of winter, you've got a very short day. You start shooting when the sun comes up, and you're still shooting when it sets. You reduce the filter to get rid of color temperature changes, and you increase the ASA right when you need it. At night, I can force-develop the negative; it intercuts like a dream with non-force-development. I find this such an easy way: It means I've got one line of magazines, one batch of stock."
Unlike The English Patient, City of Angels is an anamorphic picture. The format was chosen to emphasize the gap between angelic and mortal worlds, but it meant Seale had to use more light, thereby increasing the shadow hazards. The high-speed film helped. "I am a zoom lens advocate, I dump a zoom on and leave it there for the whole picture if I can," he says. "Those damned things on anamorphic are so slow, they're 4.5 wide open, so shooting night exteriors or interiors, you're really bashing in a lot of light to get there. To pick up another stop or two for free by using a high-speed negative is an absolute advantage. But then when I'm using flat lenses, and I've got 2.8 zooms, I still use high-speed stock, because another stop on the lens will give the focus pullers more depth of field."
The film made use of several locations in the LA area, including a beach at Malibu, where the angels gather at sunrise and sunset, and the decommissioned downtown Terminal Annex of the US Postal Service, which production designer Lilly Kilvert transformed into the hospital set. In addition, the production made jaunts to San Francisco's Main Public Library, and to a cabin on Lake Tahoe. Both required big gelling jobs. "The library was a giant location with an atrium and skylight," says Seale. "There were hundreds of fluorescent lights, and there wasn't any way in the world we could afford to change those for a daylight look. So we had to gel every window on four floors plus the skylight, which took about three days for a big pre-rig crew and was very expensive. I heard the library was in fact keeping all the gels, so if anyone else wants to go shoot in there, there is a full package of daylight correction and fluorescent correction."
At Lake Tahoe, the gel helped create a day-for-night look. "We wanted to shoot a night scene with Meg Ryan in the house, with the lake in the background shimmering away," the cinematographer explains. "It was a log cabin with windows all over it, and we had to use hard gels on that. We wanted moonlight kicking off the lake, but to do one night of shooting in a five-day schedule at Tahoe upset the whole balance of the schedule, and the moon wasn't in the right position anyway."
The scariest location was a 38-story downtown LA skyscraper, on top of which Kilvert built a three-story girder set. Here, Cage and fellow angel-turned-mortal Dennis Franz sit, surveying the city. "We had to do this amazingly complex tracking crane shot, right up to Nic and Dennis sitting, over their shoulders and straight down to the freeway beneath them," says Seale. "We lit it from underneath with Kino Flo tubes, and got a nice soft glow as though from the city and freeway. But poor Nic Cage, if he's 3' off the ground, he's terrified."
Acrophobia or no, Cage made the kind of creative additions to City of Angels for which he is known. "One of his lovely ideas was that, when he was an angel, he wouldn't blink," the DP recalls. "He didn't have to, because he didn't have tears. Then when he was mortal, he blinked like crazy. We all had these little things we grabbed out of the script to be part of our contribution." For Seale, it was the attempt to blot out the actor's shadow. "I must say, it's a very subtle thing. One out of every 50 people might pick it up." For others, it will just be part of the texture the cinematographer invisibly gives to a film.

Sussex businesses approval to Chancellor's Autumn Statement
10:10am Thursday 6th December 2012 in News By John Keenan, business editor
Leading business figures in the county have given a cautious thumbs-up to the Autumn Statement from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Among the measures unveiled by George Osborne were a cut in corporation tax to 21% in April 2014 and billions of pounds of infrastructure projects.
Tony Mernagh, executive director at the Brighton and Hove Economic Partnership, said: "The additional £2 billion on infrastructure projects is welcome.
"It is a pity it couldn't be more, but since it is being taken from existing departmental budgets perhaps that's a blessing.
"The freeze on fuel duty was widely forecast but enhanced increase in personal allowance wasn't.
"This is a good move when disposable incomes are stretched. I am surprised there are no changes to high-end property taxes which would have pleased Liberal Democrats in the absence of a mansion tax."
Nick Handley, executive chairman of Sussex Enterprise, the county's chamber of commerce, said: "The extension of the small business rate relief, a further reduction in corporation tax to 21% and the abolition of any short term fuel tax rise should benefit all businesses.
"On the down side, however, the lack of response to the recommendations made in Lord Heseltine's recent review on growing the economy is very disappointing."

Corporation tax REDUCED, to 21%. It's 30% in France and 40% in the USA. Just another little perk for his public school buddies in the City.
Welfare payments, normally increased in line with inflation, pegged at 1%. So the rich get richer, and the poor and disadvantaged suffer.
It's disgraceful. The poor are being made to pay for the sins of the bankers, who still continue to collect massive bonuses, whether they perform or not.
Revolution is what is needed.

Tories are all the same - greed and stupidity...until it's their turn to play 'death on a trolley' in a hospital forced to divert resources to private companies that don't cover the full costs of the NHS. When that happens their glorious rulers need only spout something about 'illegal imigrants' to retain the devotion of their oafs.
If only Labour were not such incompetent twits or equally grasping scroungers.

Most people commenting on here probably voted for the Tories. Or didn't vote at all. So, it's your own fault if you're "on the bread line".
The Tories couldn't ever stage an outright win even though they were up against the least popular labour administration in decades.
Lesson learnt.

So the Argus is now a propoganda mouthpiece for the most inept, corrupt, mendacious government in over a century. This lot make Thatcher look like a beacon of humanity.
How about this for a headline Argus: "The idiot Osborne once again gives his corporate chums a massive tax giveaway, whilst attacking the most vulnerable people in society".
There! That's a bit more honest isn't it?

For all labours issues, spending too much and immigration, at least times were good under them from 1997 until about 2008. There was growth and prosperity. But far too many benefit scroungers and not enough regulation, which lead to the problems. Now we have about 2.5 million jobless, loads on benefits and AN ABSOLUTE OBSESSION with the deficit, which in actual fact, is not that bad.

I yearn for them to focus on GDP growth, get the economy back to full health, invest and move forward, not just savage cuts. Some of the statement I liked, some I didn't I work, so the benefits increases mean nothing to me. It's a mixed back. It should be an incentive for people to go out and work instead of sitting on benefits doing nothing and being a burden and cheating the tax payer. Benefits have been way too generous to people for too long, and I agree they should be capped. How else will you get people to work? Benefit scoungers are lazy pathetic excuses of humanity. Get a job and earn your keep. Benefits should be for people who need it. This probably will affect real benefit claimants, real disabled people, which is wrong.
I don't agree that the rich will pay more, a lot avoid tax. That must be stopped. Good to see some inroads made, but not enough. Rich people who avoid tax are the worst of the worst. That's getting rich and sticking the finger up at the very country you live in, its disgusting. They should be imprisoned.

All this whilst borrowing and spending more money than ever (that you say we haven't got). They've made some very rich tax avoiders even richer, as promised.
I'm proud to pay tax so we don't have to see people in genuine need suffering. These oiks are just as clueless but seem a bit more twisted as well.
The NHS is being whittled away and effectively privatised. Whilst Cameron is trying to increase already massive overseas aid payments - India even politely declined his strenuous efforts to hand over more money recently suggesting he should deal with poverty in the UK...whilst they invested heavily in their own space satellite exploration initiatives which brings us nicely on to ask which planet you are on.

I am reasonably well off and would be happy to give more to the poorer section of society however this council wants the money for its vanity projects which leave the poor out in the cold.
I will not give money to a group who have strangled a revenue stream, rebuild cycle lanes which are already adequate to serve two unis which are closed for months on end and whose students don't pay council tax, a council gives money to a viewing platform for a private company, which local poor families will never use, etc
It beggars belief, but they are no different from the other parties but perhaps that is because of the demographic of the councillors. Most are middle class, arty **** types who have never worked in UK industry or come from poor backgrounds.
I am sure the families in Moulsecoomb are delighted to have a new cycle lane..... now where's the money for bikes, gloves, hats, lights and even the batteries for lights.
Or you could spend £4.20 to get to the supermarket on the monopoly bus service which puts up fares unapposed which is granted swathes of land owned by local people to make profit for its private shareholders. Are you all mad? Where is the competition, where are the tolls on this company to pump into reduced fares?
This city is becoming elitist with its parking prices for the rich, seafront activities, the wheel the i360 which cost about £20 a family, its festivals which all cost to get in, it's monopoly bus service where a bus after 7pm onto some estates is as rare as hens teeth.
You are living in cloud cuckoo land if you think there are any socialists left.
Red, blue, green are all the same.
The Tories cleanse the poor openly, the Greens and Labour dress it up as community projects.....but only if you can afford the crepe paper.

Police are investigating a single car accident. The odd thing about this case is the car didn't even have a driver.
A witness told FOX28 News that the car was parked at a Pizza Hut on Lincolnway and Hill when it just started rolling down the hill. It drifted to the left side of the road and finally rolled up onto the sidewalk and on its side just past the intersection with 1st Street.
No one was hurt in the incident.

Michael Forlani has stayed mostly out of the headlines, but a man who was a behind the scenes mover and shaker was in court Tuesday and his crimes are being laid out before he's sentenced.
Business owner Michael Forlani was sentenced to 8 years in prison for his role in the Cuyahoga County Corruption scandal.
Forlani was convicted of bribery and racketeering.
His case included taped recordings of Jimmy Dimora warning that if he swung a job to his company that they'd haul him into federal court. And of Forlani telling Frank Russo, "They're not gonna kill us, only the good die young. And we're not good."
Forlani, is an admitted briber who bought influence with politicians to get work for his company, Doan Pyramid.
Prosecutors say Forlani heaped nearly $91,000 on Dimora and his family. Home improvements, cell phones and cars. $38,000 on Maple Heights School Board President Sandy Klimkowsi, tens of thousands on J. Kevin Kelley.

David Lee Day
Congratulations to the Warriors' new forward David Lee. Gavin Newsom proclaimed today David Lee Day in San Francisco! Lee has already had a positive impact on the Bay Area by refurbishing the basketball court at El Dorado Elementary.
That's a really great story.
That's a really great story. Even though David technically "works" in Oakland, it's so nice to see an athlete reach out to his community. Now, if he can score 24 and 11 every night, I'll be REALLY happy!
Warrios in San Francisco?
Can we "reset" our city by luring the Warriors? Maybe we should create a "Stephen Curry Day"?

infos goes to DB as '#%#^!'
hey all,
i've recently rebuilt my website but i have problems uploading infos in hebrew to the DB, any hebrew letter gets uploaded as @^#^%, whereas in the old website it worked fine.
however i did not make any change to the uploading proccess itself, and the only things that might cause the problem are that i added a doctype of strict and changed my content type from windows-1255 to utf-8, altho i've tried removing those 2 lines (just to check if thats what causing the problem) and the problem was still there, altho pulling infos from the database to the website in hebrew is not a problem, so what can cause this? any hints?
note: english letters gets uploaded just fine.
thanks in advance

"My dad had lost his job. And at a time when we needed it most, our church kicked us out. We lost our house, uprooted, and moved to Tennessee. My family was falling apart and I was an emotional wreck."
That's how Bryan College student Luke Morris began his story. He continued: "Then our house in Tennessee caught fire, forcing us to move into a tiny apartment. Did I mention there are nine kids in my family? Three of us were still at home, and Mom babysat six or seven more kids. It was crowded. And it was here that family secrets and lies began to unravel."
Luke struggled with shame over personal and family issues. He was depressed and even considered suicide. The weight of a life falling apart drove him to pray: "God, I know you're real – there's no question about that, I just don't know if I'm gonna follow you anymore." He had grown up in church and knew a lot of "religious" answers. But Luke hadn't been changed by the gospel. He hadn't really put his faith in Christ.
Luke knew the verse in Acts 16:31 "…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved…" But he also knew James 2:19 "…Even the demons believe – and tremble!"
He wanted to understand. He wanted the hole in his heart
to be filled. He wanted the ache in his soul to go away.
Then in Luke 9:23 he read Jesus' challenge that "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Luke kept searching the scriptures. And at some point, grasped the gospel . . . and the gospel grasped him!
"When I came to Bryan," Luke said, "I came in with salvation. The doctrine of salvation, as glorious as it is, was the only thing I cared about. But then I studied what it means to follow Christ. I actually love Jesus now, and not just what he does for us. I'm grateful to Dr. Davis (Jud Davis is Luke's professor) for instilling in me the desire to follow Christ."
Luke is majoring in Biblical Studies, and wants to serve in full-time ministry after he graduates. Coming to Bryan has already opened the door for him to serve as youth pastor at a church in Spring City, TN while he is still working on his degree. There's no way Luke could have come to Bryan without the help of alumni and friends who give to the Bryan Scholarship fund .
When asked what he would want to say to scholarship donors, Luke said, "Thank you is insufficient. There really is no way to thank someone who has been the means by which your life has been changed from being a debased, horrible person to a redeemed child of God. It was the Lord that orchestrated my being here . . . and He led others to give."
Who knows how many lives will be saved through the direct or indirect ministry of Luke Morris? Who knows how many lives God will save through your giving?
In Christ,
Stephen D. Livesay, Ph.D.
P.S. Thank you for helping students like Luke attend Bryan. Thank you for your Gift for the King . You are changing lives!

Hi! I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award!
Holy smokes, that's awesome! Thank you so much, Bonnie! I'm truly honored.
I would love to contribute a project to your challenge. I am new to blogging my blog is here: http://kreativewithkim.blogspot.com/ and I have posted a couple of recent projects there. I love my silhouette!
Yay! I'm thrilled that you want to join us in the Silhouette Challenge; look out for an email from me with more deets. Now, I'm going to head over to your blog to check out your recent projects. I'm still learning the ropes, so I'm sure I could learn a lot from you. Thanks for dropping by!
Interested in joining your group – just got a Silhouette Cameo!
Sending you an email with the deets now!
Please add me to your Silhouette Facebook page. Just got a Cameo!
Congrats your new Cameo! Sent you an email with the details for joining our FB group.
We're impressed with the new location, layout and artistry of "The Thinking Closet." Congratulations. Each project
seems to say "look at me."
Thanks Mor Mor and Pop Pop! And I love your personification of my posts. They are scrambling for our attention, aren't they? Ha ha! Thank you both for following along in my adventures in blogging and for being such a source of inspiration for me!
Hi. I love the new look of your blog. I'm thinking about starting a blog but I'm not brave enough. Not yet
I'm looking forward to your new posts and projects. Good luck and take care x
It does take bravery to put yourself out there for the whole world wide web to see…but I've found it extremely life-giving. May I ask, Magda, what kind of blog you are thinking about starting? Would it be a d.i.y. blog with projects or more of a lifestyle blog?
Thanks for the well wishes!
I would love to start crafty blog- a bit of DIY, maybe crochet – but I can't find time for this.
I'm addicted to Pinterest
I've got two daughters Melissa 3yrs old and Erin 10 mths old. They do keep me busy.
What I would recommend if you're considering starting a blog, but not 100% sure you have the time for it is to write a few posts just in Microsoft Word or even on paper. Take photos. Do it all like you have an audience. After you build up 5 posts or so, re-evaluate to see if you think you'd ever like to make these posts public or if you have the time for it. If so, you'll have 5 solid posts built up as a great starting point. That's my two cents. I'm sure a 3-year-old and 10-month-old keep you occupied, though! Best of luck.
Thank you for the advice. I'll do that. Thanks for your kind words.
Hi Lauren,
I'm super happy as I'm writing this e-mail to you because I made hubby watched your 'All I want for Christmas Cameo' video days ago and that same evening, I opened the 'Michaels Store' flyer and there it was, for the first time they had a 'Silhouette Cameo machine' available in our area. I was jumping because I was too excited. Hubby surprised me with my own days ago.
I wanted to let you know about this Lauren because you know how much I love all your projects and I'm always excited when I see one of your Silhouette projects pop in my inbox.
Thanks to your lovely and funny video I was able to convince hubby of how much I really wanted my own for Christmas. Well, Christmas came early this year for me and I'm happy to be sharing this with you
Thanks again friend for inspiring me with everything you do in your blog
