Learning by Doing in the Outdoors
By Peter Green
Whether we go on a rafting trip, climbing trip, or bicycling trip, students learn from being given responsibility to take care of themselves and their friends. They need to make choices about setting up their own shelters, cooking meals for the group, maneuvering the raft through rapids, and selecting a good climbing route. Although adults are always present and have set expectations and defined boundaries, we aren't directing the students.
The outdoor program gives all students an opportunity to learn by experiencing and experimenting. Sometimes kids who are exceptional classroom students seek out a trip so they can grow in new ways—so they can enhance their emotional, social, and leadership qualities. Then there are those who are not as successful in the classroom but who find that they excel, that they are the best among their peers, in certain outdoor pursuits. When they bring these successes back to campus, we sometimes see these students make strides in their classroom expectations and socially among their peers. Kids need to have areas where they feel competent. When they do, they are better overall learners and certainly happier in their lives.

Trademark Law
Tiffany suit alleges Costco co-opted the jeweler's name in ring sales
Posted Feb 15, 2013 7:25 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A trademark lawsuit filed by Tiffany on Valentine's Day claims Costco was falsely promoting engagement rings in its stores with the jeweler's name.
The suit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, claims Costco salespersons were referring to "Tiffany" engagement rings, report Reuters and the New York Times. "Tiffany has never sold nor would it ever sell its fine jewelry through an off-price warehouse retailer like Costco," the suit says.
Tiffany says it learned of the deception after a customer said she was disappointed to see signs for Tiffany rings at Costco in Huntington Beach, Calif. Costco did not promote Tiffany rings online, however, because it did not want its misuse of the name to be detected, according to the suit.
Costco changed its marketing after Tiffany complained, the suit says. Tiffany is seeking profits from the ring sales along with damages of $2 million per infringement, Reuters says.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Bristol Rugby and matches between Wasps and Bristol over the years.
Voyce's effort was a spectacular 85 metre dash from his own 22, whilst Rees's score came from a typical tackle breaking blast down the narrow side, fending off two defenders on his way to the line. Rees's performance earned him the Man of the Match Award
Wasps fly half Alex King scored the rest of Wasps points with the boot, whilst Bristol's points came from an early forwards drive, touched down by Mark Regan and fly half Jason Strange.
The first hour and a half looked pretty bleak for Wasps' supporters though. Bristol started brightly. Fly half Jason Strange pressured Wasps' full back James Brooks with a number of testing kicks, a tactic that he applied throughout the game, and to which Brooks responded with bravery and skill, showing a safe pair of hands and retaining possession under pressure.
Strange also mixed it up with some useful cross field and wiper kicks, that put pressure on Wasps' wings in defence and gave Bristol good field position. It was following one of Strange's diagonal kicks that Bristol scored the first try of the night. Stealing Wasps' line out in our own 22 after an overthrow, they drove up through the centre field for hooker Mark Regan to bundle over under the posts, Strange converting the penalty for a 7-0 lead after 7 minutes.
From the restart Bristol persisted with their tactical kicking game to pin Wasps back in their own half, and were able to turn over more ball at the line out to maintain possession.
With 20 minutes gone, fly half Alex King was a cause for concern, going down after a heavy collision with centre Sam Cox. Both chased a loose ball on the floor, and whilst Cox fell on the ball, King threw out a foot in an attempt to hack on and fell very awkwardly. First impressions suggested a serious injury, but after a lengthy treatment period, he was up and hobbling away, able to run off the sore ankle and continue for the rest of the match.
Bristol continued to pressure Wasps' defensive line and enjoy the lion's share of possession as the game approached the half hour, and Strange converted a penalty from half way after 27 minutes to give the visitors a 10-0 lead.
From the restart Wasps made the first significant break of the half, George Skivington finding his way through the take the ball on for 20 metres before offloading to Eoin Reddan, who darted away into Bristol's 22. Quick ball at the breakdown was forthcoming, but captain Dallaglio couldn't hold onto a difficult pass and the attack petered out.
Bristol responded with a promising attack of their own when full back Vaughan Going cut through on a great angle between Wasps' centres to get in behind the defence. The scrambling Wasps cover conceded a penalty and Strange stretched his side's lead to 13-3 after 30 minutes.
With a ten-point lead, Bristol were growing in confidence and starting to find holes in the Wasps defence, but another Strange high ball led to an incident that saw the tables turn against his side. Brooks gathered the kick and flicked a quick pass to Sackey on the counter attack. The winger cut back inside young Bristol back Sam Cox, who was having a good game, but the wrong-footed centre stuck out a foot as Sackey sped past and brought the Wasps man down. Referee David Rose was on the spot and had no hesitation in showing Cox the yellow card.
"Rees is one of the most explosive ball carriers as a back rower in this country " - Shaun Edwards
Just two minutes later the hosts capitalised on their one man advantage. From an attacking line-out Wasps mauled the ball forward. Flanker Tom Rees, making his first start since returning from injury, burst off the back of the maul and down the short side, swatting off the tackles of Rauluni and Lemi before crashing over for Wasps first try of the evening. King couldn't land the difficult conversion, so Wasps went in trailing 8-13 at half time.
Bristol were unlucky not to score at the start of the second half. David Lemi hacked on and looked to have won the race for the touchdown, but referee Rose adjudged the ball to have gone dead as Lemi and Brooks picked themselves out of the advertising hoardings.
Wasps were looking sharper as the second half unfolded, showing a bit more sting in the tackle and hitting breakdowns with more conviction. King added his second penalty after 47 minutes, to close the gap to 13-11.
From the restart Wasps found themselves again pinned back into their own 22 by the boot of Strange. Following a good Bristol scrummage hit, Wasps No8 Dallaglio was forced to pick up and drive on, and from the ensuing ruck winger Voyce emerged with the ball. Stepping on the gas, he screamed out of his own 22, and just kept going! Weaving his way through flailing defenders, there was hardly a hand laid on him and he stormed into Bristol's twenty two. Chased all the way to the line by a committed Bristol defence, a helpful shove from supporting centre Stuart Abbott saw Voyce safely over the line to ground the ball for what must be a contender for try of the season.
King's conversion pulled Wasps ahead for the first time, and at 18-13 Wasps looked to build on the lead. King put flanker John Hart clean through on the hour, but what would have been the scoring pass did not go to hand, and a good opportunity went wanting.
Strange countered with a penalty on 63 minutes to take Bristol to just 16-18 behind, but King was now taking control of the match, putting up his own high balls and kicking well territorially to keep Wasps in the attacking half of the pitch. The ball carriers were hitting Bristol hard in midfield, and the pressure led to another penalty opportunity, King making no mistake in giving Wasps breathing space at 21-16 to close out the game and take the points.
After the game, Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan said, 'It was very important for us to win tonight. We have some players missing because of the internationals, and having achieved only a draw last week, to get the win was exactly what we needed.
'I think we have learned lessons from the Edinburgh game, and we were doing the right things in the right parts of the field tonight, especially in the second half.
We know that our opponents are going to try and shorten the game when they play us, but we were disciplined tonight - not trying to play the ball in the wrong areas.
Sides will also want to take the pace out of the game when they play us, and there was a lot of that in the stop start of the battle this evening. I think the referee needs to deal with that better, and not allow the game to stop for treatment to players who are not involved with the play.'
McGeechan was upbeat about how Wasps have come through the last weeks following some disappointing results, 'The atmosphere in the squad is good. All the players are getting involved and contributing positive input. It's very important to have that, and keep the momentum and the positive feel going, especially when our internationals are absent.'
On the match's two try scorers he said, 'I think Tom Voyce is an underestimated player, and I have been very impressed with him throughout the season so far. He has a physical edge to his game as well as being a clever player. He impresses me with the number of times he beats the first man - though he did a bit more than that tonight!
'Tom Rees also took his try well, his ball carrying is very important to us.'
Coach Shaun Edwards agreed, 'Rees is one of the most explosive ball carriers as a back rower in this country - he has so much pace and power'
Edwards was also pragmatic about what is needed from Wasps in the coming months, when the ground gets heavier and is less suited to Wasps' attacking style of rugby, which suits dry weather and hard ground, 'The next few months will be a matter of grafting out the victories. People remember the great games, when we really turned it on and played in the sun and with lots of razzle-dazzle. They forget about the difficult games though. There won't be much razzle-dazzle at this time of year - especially during the international season.'

McDermott coach of the year
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott has been named as the Co-District 16 NABC Coach of the Year. McDermott shares the award with Gregg Marshall from Wichita State.
McDermott is just the fifth Creighton recipient of the District Coach of the Year Award, which dates to 1970. Previous winners include Tom Apke (1978), Tony Barone (1989) and Dana Altman (1999 and 2003).
Creighton went 28-8 during the recently-completed season, including Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament titles. The Bluejays won NCAA Tournament games in back-to-back seasons for the first time, and defeated Cincinnati before falling to No. 6 Duke in the third round.
McDermott is 80-30 after three years at Creighton. His 80 wins in three seasons are the best start by any MVC coach in 50 years, and most of any current third-year coach nationwide.
McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz and Steve Merfeld.
The awards were voted on by McDermott's coaching peers. Seven of the 27 men honored have been head coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference at some point in their career.

He signed up for the first appointment available to choose a lot and a home plan. 1 of 1 Get the link to this image: Copy Not far from Disney World, in a posh country club banquet room last week, was a scene that looked like Fantasy Land for builders in 2013—or maybe a blast from the go-go home selling years of 2005 or 2006.The room was packed with 100 potential home buyers, their families, and Realtors. Each buyer was pre-approved for a mortgage of at least $525,000, and all were hoping for the first chances to buy the first 20 lots in a brand new community by Meritage Homes named Parkside, which at this point is nothing more than curbs and lot stakes stuck in the dirt.There were no models to see, no pool, community center, not even paved streets, yet these buyers eagerly watched and listened as the cage of tickets was spun and the selected numbers read. Then the first 36 chosen lined up to make appointments for the weekend to see the lots available in person and to select from the three home plans available.It will be April before the community has its grand opening, and the end of the year before the amenity center is built."This, I believe, is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Meritage Homes Division President Clint Szubinski told the crowd before the drawing began.A number of the potential buyers said they thought he was right. By the end of last weekend all 20 lots had $10,000 deposits on them and there was a waiting list for the next development phase. Here's why:Since there is really no more land available in the prestigious and well-located Dr. Phillips area of Orlando where Meritage is building the 315-lot community, new home opportunities are nearly non-existent.In addition to being close to major transportation arteries, the development is also walking distance to an elementary school and close to a large county park on Sand Lake.The lots in Parkside are generous by Orlando new-home standards at 70 feet wide by 115 to 150 feet deep.The prices, from $386,990 to $470,000 for the 2,754- to 5,016-square foot homes, are reasonable for the area and the size of the product.Meritage bought the land a couple of years ago, said Brian Kittle, Meritage's vice president for the Orlando region. Kittle said Meritage found the parcel using a proprietary data system the company devised to find the best land in the best places. It melds data from existing-home neighborhoods as well as new-home neighborhoods, and includes demographic information that helps the company zero in on land with potential and offers guidance on appropriate products. It took Meritage a couple of years to entitle the raw land.David Stokes, a down-sizing dentist, whose number was drawn quickly, summed up his interest in buying a home in Parkside."I only want to buy a new home," said Stokes, who lives in nearby Windermere, Tiger Woods' former home community. "This is a chance to decide the location, make all the choices.He was also pleased with the pricing of the homes designed by BSB Design as well as the location."This is a can't-go-wrong investment," Stokes said. "If I decide to move in five or six years, this will sell."That, too, sounds like 2005.Teresa Burney is a senior editor for Builder magazine.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Orlando, FL.

Dwight King of the Los Angeles Kings (yeah) hit Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo in Game 1 between the two teams. Pietrangelo is a huge piece of the St. Louis d-corps, and he's not playing in Game 2 as a result of the hit. There was the question of whether or not King would face supplementary discipline for the play, but he did not.
That doesn't mean he wouldn't have to face the long arm of ... um, B.J. Crombeen.
It was a fairly even fight, if not a win for King. The two spent most of the bout wrasslin' around, but both guys deserve credit: Crombeen for standing up to King and King for answering the bell when challenged.
We have full coverage of Kings vs. Blues Game 2 in our StoryStream. Check with St. Louis Game Time for more on the Blues, and check with Jewels From The Crown for more on the Kings.

COLUMBUS, OH (WTOL) – The Ohio Casino Control Commission met in Columbus on Wednesday, and while an opening date for Hollywood Casino Toledo hasn't been set yet, OCCC Executive Director Matt Schuler tells WTOL 11 he expects a date to be set within the next two weeks.
This comes as the commission continues to investigate investors in the operation by way of background checks, towards being able to issue a gaming license, and the commission continues to hire staffers to get its internal operations fully functional.
OCCC Chairperson Jo Ann Davidson agrees with the timeline of having a date set in the near future.
Meanwhile, the OCCC will be in Toledo on February 22, to start the process of taking individual applications and start the process of licensing casino employees who will work the gaming tables.
Richard St. Jean, Hollywood Casino Toledo General Manager, says construction is 85 percent complete, with $164 million being spent so far on the project.
He anticipates work to be wrapped up and securing a permit of occupancy from the City of Toledo by March 15.

Stark Continues To Show Why He is Not Qualified To Represent
Original post made by Dave on Oct 30, 2012
Web Link
His recent mailers have been deceptive and dishonest.
Web Link
This truly is a person that has demonstrated that he is no longer fit to represent the 15th District

He has people going door-to-door leaving hangers - my teenager answered the door and said "Pete Stark - never heard of him. Is he related to Tony?" Then shut the door. HA

Pete Stark is probably the best example of what is wrong with our federal government. You really have to wonder about the mental capabilites of anyone that votes for him. His mantra seems to be "scr*w you, vote for me because you love me (as in one of his latest brochures), and I love vacuuming your wallet for every last dime".

Democrats running in the State of California never have to try
at all because dems will always vote for them no matter what.
All they have to do is put a D beside their name. They don't
even have to live here.

---- — A 50-year-old Gloucester man pleaded guilty in Gloucester District Court this week to ordering meals and drinks at several Gloucester establishments earlier this summer then leaving without paying.
Steven Davis of Main Street pleaded guilty to charges of defrauding restaurants, credit card fraud, and violating bylaws.
Judge Joseph Jennings ordered Davis to pay $40 restitution to The Rhumbline on Railroad Avenue, $92 to Halibut Point and $97 to Short & Main, both on Main Street, and about $28 to Captain Carlo's on Harbor Loop. He was also ordered to pay $50 assessments.
Jennings sentenced Davis to 90 days in Middleton Jail with 12 days of that sentence to be deemed served and the balance suspended for a year.
Veterans Way resident Kevin Frazier, 20, was ordered to pay $150 in court assessments after he pleaded guilty to being in possession of liquor and drinking in public.
Frazier was arrested in June when police saw him sitting on a wall and drinking from a large beer bottle.
Judge Jennings ordered a 27-year-old Willow Street man to pay a $250 assessment on a charge of driving after a license suspension. The man, John Curley, was also found responsible for failing to stop at a posted stop sign in Essex.
Susan M. Sceviour, 55, of Smith Street admitted to sufficient facts on charges of driving with a suspended registration and license, and another charge of driving an uninsured vehicle from a separate case, but Jennings continued both cases without a finding until February.
Sceviour was ordered to pay $100 in assessments and to not drive unless licensed, registered and insured.
Renato Marins, a 27-year-old East Main Street resident, pleaded guilty to unlicensed driving. Judge Jennings ordered him to pay $500 in fines and assessments.
Police had stopped Marins on Webster Street when he was driving with both headlights out at 2:35 a.m. in early August. Jennings found Marins not responsible for the headlights violation in the case.
Charles Markee, a Washington Street resident, will see a bylaw violation brought against him dismissed if he pays $100 in court costs.
A charge of assault and battery brought against Francis G. Green, a 48-year-old Centennial Avenue man, was dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Regulars reopen favourite pub - by buying it
1:04pm Thursday 27th December 2012 in News
A GROUP of pub regulars plan to reverse the demise of the local boozer - by buying one themselves.
Around 20 Wivenhoe residents have clubbed together to buy the centuries old Black Buoy pub, after owners Punch Taverns closed it in October.
They have already raised 80 per cent of the cash needed to buy the freehold.
John Moores, the group's spokesman, said the intention was to restore the pub to its rightful place at the heart of the community.
He said: "It's not just an investment you make and then forgot about.
"It's a living, working pub. We want to put it back to its former glory."

They need to get in a good manager who is an outsider. It needs somebody fairly diplomatic to, in effect, deal with 20 bosses, as there are likely to be different views on what is done to get new customers in. Do you go the food route? Live music route? Attracting the students? Real ale buffs?
I´ve been a regular at a couple of pubs where closure looked imminent, and in both we did seriously look at the procedure for doing a customer buy-out. In the end, both stayed open, but even the opening informal discussions did show it could be hard to run a pub by committee. That´s why they need to get in a good manager, and one who is strong enough to hear the 20 different viewpoints and work out the best way to go.
Done well, I think this is the way that more and more pubs will survive in the future.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana ethics board says state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education member Kira Orange-Jones can keep both her elected seat and her job as executive director of the New Orleans branch of Teach for America.
The advisory opinion unanimously issued Friday went against a recommendation the board made in June, which said Orange-Jones was prohibited from providing compensated services to TFA.
TFA has contracts with the state Department of Education and the Recovery School District which exceed $50,000 and requires a stamp of approval from members of BESE.
The board said Orange-Jones isn't an executive director of the whole organization and therefore meets an exception for employment a previous board carved out in 1982.

Brad Paisley Heading To South Park
Brad Paisley is goin' down to South Park and gonna have himself a time!
That's right, Brad got animated for an upcoming episode of the hit Comedy Central show. The episode airs tonight (Wednesday April 25) at 10pm EST.
The country prankster is featured in two scenes, one where he is singing the national anthem before the Denver Nuggets basketball game and later he is singing a duet with Cartman.
Judging from Brad's tweets, he is very excited that he is on the show once again. He appeared on an episode back in October 2011, but as a voice for a small boy. He told CMT that he was just "one of the kids in the background. But my name is in the credits, you know? And I'm floored. I can't believe I got to do that."
Tonight, on a very special episode of @southpark, there just might be a little kid that sounds A LOT like me as a young boy.—
Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) October 19, 2011
This time Brad is a full blown character and shared what he will look like in tonight's episode.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You may shart. This wednesday, on a very special episode of @southpark: lockerz.com/s/203891667—
Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) April 24, 2012
Signing my new 8×10 Headshot @southpark ..if I may say, I make a handsome cartoon. Well, you be the judge of that. lockerz.com/s/203821797—
Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) April 24, 2012
And of course, he got his photo taken with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny.
Spent the day Sunday @SouthPark . You all might want to watch this Wednesday. So seriously. lockerz.com/s/203662195—
Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) April 24, 2012
Celebs and musicians who appear on the show are usually impersonated, but some have lent their voices for parts. George Clooney provided the barks for Stan's dog Sparky, Jay Leno provided the meows for Cartman's cat, and Henry Winkler voiced a kid-eating monster in an episode. Jerry Seinfield declined to lend his voice because he was only offered the role of Turkey #2. No Turkey #1 for you, Jerry!
The biggest episode for actual musical guests was in Season two, during an episode called "Chef Aid." Rick James, Elton John, Meat Loaf, Ozzy Osbourne, Joe Strummer, Primus, Rancid, and Ween all guest starred and performed briefly.
If you miss the episode with Brad tonight, you can catch it online at SouthParkStudios.com later this week. Here's hoping that he doesn't kill Kenny.

Coupling with Federal Extenders
We continue to receive inquiries about whether Iowa will adopt the federal provisions for what are commonly referred to as the federal "extenders." The Iowa Legislature has adjourned its 2010 session. Iowa will not be coupling with the 2008 federal law provisions related to extenders that impact the 2009 tax year.
The federal extender provisions include:
- Educator Expenses (Line 24; IA 1040)
- Tuition and Fees (Line 24; IA 1040)
- Itemized Deduction for State Sales / Use Tax Paid (Line 4; IA Schedule A)
Iowa income tax returns must be filed based upon current Iowa law. Therefore, the extenders should not be included on Iowa returns.
Other Federal Changes
As a reminder, Iowa did not couple with the following federal income tax changes that became effective with the 2009 tax year:
- 50% bonus depreciation for property acquired after December 31, 2008, but before January 1, 2010
- Increased section 179 expensing of $250,000 for tax years beginning in 2009
- Increase in the Iowa earned income tax credit for families with three or more children and married taxpayers
- Exclusion of the first $2,400 of unemployment compensation
- Deduction for the one-time registration fee related to the purchase of certain new vehicles

Jailed Ky. Judge-Executive Hasn't Resigned; Will He, Like Predecessor, Hold Job in Prison?
Posted Dec 10, 2012 12:11 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
For the second time in a row, the judge-executive of Knott County, Ky., has gone to prison after being convicted in a vote-buying case.
That raises the question, will Knott County Judge-Executive Randy Thompson, like his predecessor, former Judge-Executive Donnie Newsome, continue to hold office as judge-executive while he serves his time? Thompson has said he won't resign, and Newsome did so only after completing his prison term, the Hazard-Herald reports.
While there is a state constitutional process for removing county officials after felony convictions, it isn't clear whether such action is planned, according to the newspaper. Shelley Johnson, deputy communications director for Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway's office, told the Hazard-Herald that while the authority to oust county officials lies with the Knott County Commonwealth's Attorney, the attorney general's office is looking into "other avenues for removal and whether [Thompson's] conviction is final."
The Knott County Commonwealth's Attorney was not immediately available for comment Friday.
Thompson is expected to serve up to 40 months in federal prison.
At one point, both Newsome, after his release from prison, and Thompson were competing against each other for election to the county's top judicial post, a Herald-Leader article notes.
A New York Times article published in 2004 said others in Eastern Kentucky have also been accused of vote-buying, in what the newspaper describes as something of a tradition in the region.
Additional and related coverage re Thompson:
Herald-Leader: "Federal appeals court upholds conviction of Knott judge-executive in vote-buying case
WYMT: "Knott County Judge Executive Randy Thompson is in federal prison"
Additional and related coverage re Newsome:
Herald-Leader: "KY County Judge Conducts Business from Jail Cell"
U.S. Department of Justice (press release): "Knott County, Ky., Judge Executive Sentenced on Vote-Buying Conspiracy Charges"

Democrat Terry McAuliffe is drawing a line in the sand in his bid to become Virginia's next governor.
During a visit to Charlottesville on Wednesday, he had some tough words for his Republican opponent Ken Cuccinelli. Now, Cuccinelli is firing back.
There are more than seven months to go until Election Day, and the attacks are already flying. Leading up to November, don't expect anything less than a war of words in Virginia.
"I think you have the starkest contrast between two candidates running for the governor of the commonwealth, probably in the history of the commonwealth," McAuliffe said.
McAuliffe visited with small businesses on Charlottesville's downtown mall Wednesday.
"They're nervous; they want a governor focused on helping with economic development...not a governor focused on social ideological agenda that divides people," McAuliffe said.
In this war of words, that is becoming McAuliffe's battle cry.
"McAuliffe's game plan is entirely trying to cast Cuccinelli as an extremist ideologue while trying to portray himself as mainstream," said Geoff Skelley with the UVA Center for Politics.
The Cuccinelli campaign cast off criticisms, saying, "Ken Cuccinelli will continue to work to grow our economy, fight for middle-class taxpayers, and improve our educational system regardless of the political posturing from his opponent's campaign."
"I mean this is going to be a very negative campaign. I don't expect to see much positivity from either side," Skelley said.
Skelley says that's because both candidates are inherently flawed.
Cuccinelli has become widely known for his hyper-conservative opinions. And as a former Democratic National Committee chair, McAuliffe will have a difficult time appealing to the mainstream.
"When there's a lot to attack, you're going to attack. And both sides have plenty of ammo," Skelley said.
Analysts say this is just the beginning. This is the highest profile race in the country this year.
That means more attention and more money, potentially making this governor's race the most negative political campaign in Virginia's history.

Hemlock Grove now live on Netflix
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet
Following the success of House of Cards, Netflix has launched its next original series, Hemlock Grove. All thirteen episodes of Hemlock Grove were made available to Netflix subscribers early this morning albeit to lackluster critic reviews. Hemlock Grove is based on a 2012 novel penned by Brian McGreevy, a supernatural thriller that is set in a small town in Pennsylvania. The plot revolves around the murder of a teenage girl, and the odd and unorthodox residents who are potential suspects. The show stars Famke Janssen, Bill Skarsgard, Landon Liboiron, and Penelope Mitchell.
The horror genre is more forgiving than many others, and as such, even with the series being panned for not having much of a storyline, it may find success with the Netflix audience. Netflix invested $45 million in the production of the first season, and so far over 1,400 Netflix members have rated the show an average of 3.9 out of 5 stars.
What's next for Netflix? The fourth season of Arrested Development. All 15 episodes of the cult hit will hit Netflix on May 26th.

"Our own original House of Cards was shot in 4K," Hunt said to The Verge. "It's being mastered in full HD, but the raw footage, or a good chunk of it, was shot in 4K, and we hope to have some House of Cards 4K encodes later this year." Hunt believes 4K "will likely be streamed first before it goes anywhere else," and he plans to deliver the ultra high definition format through Netflix within the next couple of years.

You can now automatically share your Netflix viewing activity on Facebook
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Internet, Movies
Netflix is more social in the US now that you or, better said, Netflix can share your favorite movies and television shows with your friends on Facebook.
The Internet video on demand streaming giant has been given the green light to share your Netflix activity among your Facebook friends. The added functionality is off by default, but users can turn it on and pretty much allow others to spy on what they're watching and liking. Thankfully, Netflix added another feature that will hide specific videos that you deem unworthy of sharing. The caveat is that you don't forget to click the "don't share this" button on a specific video.

Amazon scores Downton Abbey exclusivity for Prime Instant Video
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment
Amazon has announced that it's Instant Video service has secured exclusive rights to Downton Abbey, the same day that Netflix exclusive House of Cards went live. Season 3 of the popular show will debut on Amazon Prime Instant Video on June 18th. The first two seasons are available on Hulu and Netflix, but will be removed later this year. Season 4 (and 5, if produced) will maintain Amazon exclusivity.
It's fun to sit back and observe the battle between Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, but we have to wonder what this does for customers. If you want to be able to watch shows that are exclusive to different services, then you need to be a subscriber to all of them. Not super-expensive at about $25 per month, but it's still a substantial jump over just choosing one service for $8 per month and sticking with it.

"We invested in ourselves. We did everything ourselves. It grew organically. People think Juicy was an overnight success but it wasn't," said Skaist-Levy.The idea behind the Juicy brand was sprung from a cheerleader and her outfit.
"I was at my son's school and I saw this cheerleader jump up and I saw 'cheer' on her butt and I fainted. I went back to the office and I said Pam we're going to put 'Juicy' on the butt of our pants," said Nash-Taylor.

DUNLAP, Ill. – The Dunlap School District is warning parents following an incident at a bus stop Tuesday morning.
An alert sent out to parents, states that a man in a blue pick up truck approached a student at a school bus stop in Lake of the Woods neighborhood.
The student said the truck circled the area and then pulled up in front of him. The man, described as a white male in his 20's or 30's, allegedly asked the boy to come over to the truck so he could show him something.
The boy said he pretended like he was dialing a phone and the man drove away.
Tuesday evening, the boy told his parent who alerted the school district.
Peoria County Sheriff's Deputies searched the area. Neither the truck nor suspect was located.
School district officials are asking parents to talk to their children about safety in the wake of the incident.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The man convicted of manslaughter after killing four teens while driving a stolen car is back in jail.
It's the third strike for Herbert Lee, who was arrested Monday on nine charges, including receiving stolen property, assaulting an officer and operating on a revoked license.
Herbert Lee was spotted driving a car near 22nd and Magazine Streets that was reported stolen from a daycare center.
When an officer tried to pull him over, he jumped out the car window.
Police spotted him in the backseat of another car in an alley a few blocks away.
Police say he fought officers as they pulled him from the car, even causing damage to the back window of the police cruiser once he was placed inside.
"He continues to repeat the same cycle and unfortunately our officers are having to deal with the same cycle over and over again," said LMPD spokesperson Alicia Smiley.
Lee told police he was being set up for "killing those 4 kids in that one stolen car."
Lee served less than three years for the crash the killed Aaron Shields and Jamar, Demar and Marc Claybrooks in 2008. He was also sent to jail last year when he was arrested for driving another stolen vehicle.

Underworld's 'Barking' is coming in less than five days! Child Play's Amp Live just layed out a sick bassy remix of the new single "Always Loved A Film".
Check out the great review from RCRDLBL.com:
"Is that name a taunt? I wonder how many blog write-ups this track and its numerous remix versions have had that haven't made reference to that decade-defining Danny Boyle film (no, not The Beach). This latest refix, courtesy of AmpLive, has a pretty cinematic scope itself; its narrative arc beginning with anticipatory synths and the sort of slippery vocal gabbling Karl Hyde made his name with, before the electro-throbbing thing peters out into tender piano chimes. Are we supposed to take these as denoting a victory of some kind? I dunno, suh, for now this is just the trailer for a full, new Underworld album called Barking, out September 14 through Om".
Pre-order Underworld "Barking" at iTunes.

Pearls in jewelryApril 2, 2008 | Written by Ava on Featured Products, Random Thoughts | No Comments |
Pearls are cherished as symbols of perfection and purity. They carry the elegance and charm like any natural gemstone beads. Jewelries made of pearls, a gift from nature that expresses the "love" that binds two souls, are used as a traditional part of the wedding costume fitted to the lovely bride. It perfectly accentuates the symbolic meaning of love's purity in marriage.
Back in history, pearls have been
associated with the "elite" and "royalty". Throughout ancient times, royalties like Queen Elizabeth II wore pearl jewelries to significant occasions and social events. As such, pearls were also popularly used as a language of symbolism -of love, knowledge, wisdom, truth, and even references of faith.
To own a beautiful piece of jewelry or even a strand, nowadays, you need not scour through the coffers and treasure chests of royalties. These priced gems are readily available, fortunately for us, at very affordable costs. In these modern times, with just a few strokes of creativity and fashion sense you will easily "get the look" fitted for a queen.

For diabetics who are having trouble controlling their blood sugar, their feet can be affected. Nancy Naeve Brown asked Dr. Scott Torness at the Avera Foot and Ankle Clinic in Yankton about Charcot (pronounced shark-o) foot.
Dr. Scott Torness with Avera Foot and Ankle Clinic on the campus of Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton says, "Charcot neuropathy is a change is diabetics foot over a certain amount of time with many different thoughts on how that process starts. They end up having a swollen red, hot foot, but don't have pain due to the neuropathy so they don't often get it checked out. Many doctors think infection immediately since it's a diabetic and have a hot swollen foot. What they need to start looking at is ulcers on the bottom of the foot, changes within the foot itself and blood sugar and white blood count.
Q: I'm guessing when you first see this condition, the treatment involves surgery? How do you fix the foot?
A: The thought is to try and give them a good foot position again. It's been often believed you don't do surgery during the acute phase, but we found out that doing surgery at this time also helps to heal this us.
We try to relocate the bones that have dislocated and try to put them into a better position, give them a good stable foot to walk on and try to keep them without putting weight on the pressure points that they may get with this process.
If you are diabetic and have any signs of neuropathy (can't feel your feet) you should see a foot specialist often."
