World Premiere of Eduardo Machado's WORSHIP Opens This Weekend at TNC
Theater for the New City, the Pulitzer Prize winning community cultural center that produces over thirty premieres of new American plays each year, presents the return of acclaimed playwright Eduardo Machado with the world premiere of his new play Worship, directed by Michael Domitrovich. Opening Night is set for Saturday, March 22nd at 8PM at Theater for the New City (155 First Avenue, between 9th and 10th Streets). This limited engagement continues through April 13th.
The cast features Quinlan Corbett, Crystal Field, Lori Fischer, Sharon Ullrick, Heather Velazquez, Mark Elliot Wilson, and Tatyana Yassukovich. The creative team for Worship includes Mark Marcante (scenic design), Alex Bartenieff (lighting design), Michael Bevins (costume design), and Elizabeth Rhodes (sound design).
Worship explores the relationship between teachers and the students who idolize them. Estelle, a legendary writing teacher, is known for her signature style - a mystical approach combined with a brutal honesty and a willingness to do anything in the name of art. Estelle's commitment to her ideals has made her cross all sorts of pedagogical boundaries. She's been personally and even romantically involved with her protégés, yielding extreme results - some vilify her, others canonize her. When Alzheimer's debilitates her later in life, Estelle is visited by the students she has influenced most. Through a series of flashbacks and ritualized devotionals, the nature of the bond between this guru and her disciples is exposed, covering the full spectrum from the sacred to the profane. This piece marks a dramatic departure in Machado's writing style drawing on tropes of Classical Greek Drama, but with an ultimately modern feel.
Eduardo Machado was born in Cuba and came to the United States when he was nine. He grew up in Los Angeles. He is the author of over forty plays, including The Cook, Havana is Waiting, The Modern Ladies Of Guanabacoa, Fabiola, In the Eye of the Hurricane, Broken Eggs, Once Removed, A Burning Beach, and Stevie Wants to Play the Blues. His plays have been produced at Seattle Rep, the Goodman, Hartford Stage, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Mark Taper Forum, Long Wharf Theatre, Hampstead Theatre in London, American Place Theatre, Cherry Lane Theatre, INTAR, Theater for the New City, and Repertorio Español, among many others. Mr. Machado wrote and directed the film Exiles in New York, which played at the A.F.I Film Festival, South By South West, Santa Barbara Film Festival and Latin American International Film Festival in Havana, Cuba. He has taught playwriting at Columbia University (where from 1997-2007 he was the Head of Playwriting), the Public Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, Sarah Lawrence College and the Playwrights Center. From 2004-2010 he was the Artistic Director of the off-Broadway INTAR Theatre in NYC. Mr. Machado is a member of the Actors Studio, Ensemble Studio Theater, and an alumnus of New Dramatists, and has served on the boards of TCG, New Dramatists and Theatre for the New City. Mr. Machado is currently a Professor of Playwriting in the Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Tastes Like Cuba: An Exile's Hunger for Home, a food memoir by Eduardo Machado and Michael Domitrovich, was released by Gotham Press in 2007. His latest collection of plays entitled Havana is Waiting and Other Plays was published by TCG in Spring 2011.
Michael Domitrovich's work was last seen at TNC this past spring when he directed the world premiere of Eduardo Machado's Mariquitas. Other TNC credits include directing the world premiere of his play, Lotus Feet, in 2010. Before that, in 2007, his play Artfxxxers had its world premiere at TNC before moving to an Off-Broadway run in 2008. In the summer of 2010, he directed his first bilingual production, in English and French, of two plays in Bonnieux, France. His work as a playwright has been performed at 59E59, EST, Galapagos, the Bowery Poetry Club and La Mama etc. as well as the Avenue Theater in Denver, CO.

GOOD MORNING DELMARVA - Tom Moses, founder and director of Salt and Pepper Actors Workshop, Inc., holds an open casting call on Saturday, February 23, in Salisbury at 739 East Main Street from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Currently seeking cast members for "Before the Dream II: The Dream Continues," Moses is casting for a host of actors of all ethnicities from the ages of 6 to 80. Of special interest are singers, an African-American couple who can dance the jitterbug or swing of the 1940s, and tech crew members. Singers may bring their own track or sing acapella. Tech crew positions include the following: several stage hands, a set designer, a wardrobe person, a prop person, five make-up artists, an experienced stage manager, and a lighting and sound person.
"Before the Dream II" takes on the penetrating and profound passion of its predecessor and namesake, Before the Dream. Written and produced by Moses, an accomplished actor and acting coach from Hollywood, CA, and a native of Salisbury, the original stage play received raves on the Shore 2003-2004, when Moses wrote it to raise funds for the Charles H. Chipman Cultural Center.
The production, which is scheduled for Mother's Day weekend, promises to engulf its viewers into the magic of theatrical perfection, with memorable performances from Moses, himself; Clarence Bell, the owner of Bell Security Systems and former chief of police of Crisfield and at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore; and Constance Sturgis of Berlin, the retired Eastern Shore educator who will return as Harriet Tubman.
Among the expected special guest stars is Kathleen Bradley-Redd, first African-American game show model on "The Price is Right" who is best known for her role as Mrs. Parker in the movie "Friday" with Chris Tucker and Ice Cube. Also expected is Dormeshia, touted as the best tap dancer in the world, who starred on Broadway with Savion Glover in "Bring In 'Da Noise, Bring In 'Da Funk."
Moses, who has guest starred and co-starred in many television shows and movies, played the chief of detectives on the hit show "Columbo." As an acting coach, he has started the careers of such famed actors as Charlene Tilton, former "Dallas" star; Tommy Ford of "Martin"; and Lark Voorhies, former "Saved by the Bell" star, to name a few.
His Salt & Pepper Actors Workshop is a non-profit organization that has been funded by the National Endowment of the Arts. It has been in existence since 1971 and is based in Los Angeles, CA. In Salisbury since November 2003, Moses works to draw upon his own knowledge, experience, and love for the community to bring Hollywood to the Shore. Under his tutelage, ten-year-old Michael Duncan of Salisbury recently earned a role with Hollywood producer David Raynr as a result of a screen test orchestrated by Moses at Salisbury University's video sound stage. Moses has scouted local talent for several Hollywood projects.
For more information about the casting call and about the upcoming stage play, "Before the Dream: The Dream Continues," call Moses at 443-235-4102. Interested actors who are not able to attend may call for an appointment.

PLANO –- The claims are as sobering as the group's name: 'Save Plano.'
The group's website and billboard warn residents of the danger that would arrive if liquor stores were suddenly allowed in Plano.
Yet, it is difficult to track down who created the 'Save Plano' movement and is leading it. It's a troubling concern among the group's opponents, who worry outsiders - with unclear motivations - are actively misleading citizens.
"The opponents - I can't tell you where they're from," said Plano's Mayor Phil Dyer, who supports the effort to allow liquor stores. "I can't identify a single person involved with Save Plano, other than their consultant out of Austin."
That consultant, Billy Horton, runs a company called Hard Count, Inc. that resisted liquor laws in other towns. He insists he is simply the hired help for the group, although he admits he's never actually been paid.
"I didn't form Save Plano. That's a big myth," he told News 8. "I was called on the telephone by them saying, 'Hey, is there any way you can help us or advise on this? We don't know what to do.'"
Horton said he was hired months ago by Mary Hernandez, Save Plano's founder. Campaign records - filed just this week - list her as the group's treasurer. Despite the fact the election is only days away, she is remarkably hard to find. Her phone number listed on campaign reports has been disconnected.
The address she provided on campaign records isn't hers. The home on Price Drive belongs to Deborah and Ronald Hernandez. When reached late Thursday night, Mr. Hernandez said he doesn't know anyone by the name of Mary Hernandez and has never heard of the group Save Plano.
"I don't know anything about this," he told News 8 by phone, adding he and his wife have lived in that house for nearly 20 years. "There's no Mary Hernandez here. I didn't even know there was a woman by that name."
When asked to speak with Hernandez, Horton claimed he doesn't have a working number for her. He said he hasn't spoken to her in weeks, and that she moved.
When asked how Horton could be following her guidance for the upcoming election, since he said she hired him, Horton replied, "I know what I'm supposed to be doing, and I'm doing it."
Horton was not able to put News 8 in touch with any other leaders, although he did introduce News 8 to Carolyn Owens. She has lived in Plano for 17 years and considers herself a member of Save Plano, but she admits she has never met Hernandez, any other leader, or even attended a meeting.
"There's no formal meeting or anything," she said. "It's very small."
She found the group's website online and has been simply calling neighbors herself asking for support, with no guidance from anyone formally associated with Save Plano.
"It's been word of mouth going around," she said.
Horton strongly bristles at the implication he is the one behind Save Plano and says his opponents, Plano Citizens for Economic Equality, have questionable motives themselves.
"There's not been one dollar contributed to the organization that's promoting liquor stores in Plano that has come from anybody in Plano," Horton said. "Nobody in Plano stood up and started screaming, 'We want liquor stores in Plano!'"
The Economic Equality group got the issue started by collecting 22,000 signatures months ago to force the issue on May 11 ballot. The mayor, along with several other city leaders, has actively supported the group's efforts by saying liquor stores would bring more jobs and money to Plano.
Yet, an Austin-based industry group, the Texas Hospitality Association, helped organize the foundation of the group.
It hired an outside consultant group called Texas Petition Strategies to do much of the campaign's work, and was given nearly all of the $243,000 Equality has raised. Almost all of the donations have come from the Texas Hospitality Association and a Maryland-based liquor store chain.
The group declined an on-camera interview Thursday, but released a statement by the mayor:
"Citizens have come to me for years asking what it would take to allow fine wine and package store sales in Plano," wrote Mayor Phil Dyer. "Last year, several people, including me, started an earnest discussion about having the current election. Input was gathered from civic and business leaders and financial support was offered from companies like Total Wine and the Texas Hospitality Association."

I thought it would be interesting to poll various SBNation blogs to see who would they think is the 2000's "most outstanding player"
Like the Heisman is actually voted for, I was wondering if you would give a first, second, and third place vote.
Also: I know this is an annoying rule but in order to maintain the integrity of the process I'd like to ask that you don't vote for players from your own team. If you could, Florida fans would all vote Tebow, Texas Fans would all vote Young, and USC fans would give each of their first place votes to their three winners, and the vote would be insanely split up.
I'll close voting one hour before the ceremony, which is at 8 pm EST and 5 PM PST.

Nutrition Consultant Training Program - 700 hours
Classroom - 18 months
Also available via Distance Learning - up to 30 months
The Nutrition Consultant Training Program provides students with an in-depth knowledge of the foundations of whole food nutrition as it contributes to the prevention of illness and the promotion of optimal health. In the program, students study the fundamentals of nutrition: physiology, anatomy, macro and micronutrient selection, and the effects of foods on the body. They graduate equipped with the tools necessary to provide expert evaluation of diet and lifestyle, and to make recommendations for food selections, supplementation, and lifestyle choices which will enable their clients to reach their best health.
A supervised internship allows students to gain experience in venues such as a health practitioner's office, spa, community center, health club, school, and beyond. Students will use the skills they have learned in their training - writing, presenting, client consultation, research, menu planning, etc. to guide them in selecting their specific areas of interest. During the internship students work in the field, establishing valuable professional connections and partnerships.
Careers Opportunities
Graduates of the Nutrition Consultant Training Program are trained to work with individuals, families, and groups to provide personal, community, and clinical nutrition services. Nutrition Consultants work in private practice, and/or in conjunction with other health care professionals such as doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical and mental health therapists, and at wellness or recovery centers and integrative clinics.
Many graduates also teach courses, give talks on nutrition, or write articles or books for publication. Other opportunities include working in clinics, private schools, spas, health food stores, health clubs, fitness programs, and supplement companies. Nutrition Consultant graduates are sufficiently trained and certified to work in salaried positions in the preventative health care field funded either by government, insurance carriers, and/or private business.
Although Bauman College does not offer placement assistance, the business classes in this program are designed to prepare students for professional presentation, networking, and basic business skills. The Internship component of the program offers students the opportunity to experience the application of their studies in real life settings. Employment opportunities are regularly submitted to Bauman College from private and corporate entities. Students and Graduates may view these opportunities through the Employment Forum Board. In addition, we match students with specific employment opportunities from within our community connections.
Program Details
Classes are 3.5 hours in length and meet on average five times per month. Students should plan to spend as much time on homework and individual study as they spend in the classroom.
Students have complete access to all of their curriculum materials, including lectures, homework assignments, and student records, via our unique learning management system, the Bauman College Student Dashboard. With this system, students communicate with teachers and staff, submit homework, view lectures, and check their current grades from home or in any location with an internet connection. The Bauman College Student Dashboard allows students to easily access course materials anytime.

Where the Trojans end up in the postseason will hinge on their performance to finish the year.
The UCLA Bruins had to fight to beat the two-win WSU Cougars. They face USC on Saturday, so getting used to thinking of themselves as a team that has to fight hard to win probably isn't the worst...
The UCLA Bruins could be headed to the Holiday Bowl or the Las Vegas Bowl, and the USC Trojans could be headed to the Sun Bowl or the Alamo Bowl.
It's no secret that USC and UCLA don't like each other. At his press conference on Monday, Jim Mora did something unexpected - he complimented one of the Trojans, star wide receiver Marqise Lee.
Chris Kluwe and Matt Kalil have entered into a bet involving pushups to be decided by their alma maters.
UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
UCLA has lost 12 of their last 13 games against USC, but the Bruins enter Saturday's contest with more wins and a higher ranking than the Trojans in their matchup for the first time since 2001.
Trojans wide receiver Marise Lee has been named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's top receiver.
It could be a pre-Christmas jaunt to Las Vegas for Bruins fans to see their squad in the postseason.
The USC Trojans are not projected to be in a major bowl game for the second straight year even if they handle their business against UCLA and Notre Dame.

In an era when publics are seeking to understand how immigration is reshaping populations and local communities, and the effect that newcomers are having on economic, educational, and labor systems, it is imperative to have access to credible and authoritative data. The U.S. and international data-rich research offered here, and data resources offered through our Data Hub, empower users to learn more about the role of immigration in today's world. Browse by region, by type of research, and more. And visit MPI's Data Hub for data tools, maps, and more.
Unaccustomed to a large number of migrants, Chile has seen an increase in migrants in the past three decades. Cristián Doña-Reveco and Amanda Levinson examine how the country, still wedded to its dictator-era migration framework, is balancing shifting migration patterns with a piecemeal approach to migration policy.
The nearly 5 million immigrants age 65 and older residing in the United States in 2010 accounted for 12 percent of all elderly as well as 12 percent of the total immigrant population. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the elderly immigrant population, including where they live, countries of origin, and their sources of income.
Jim Cobbe of Florida State University discusses how the close ties between Lesotho (ethnically, almost wholly Basotho) and South Africa (with an even larger Basotho population) are expressed in a history of economic migration, and how new immigrants from China are changing the face of modern-day Lesotho.
After decades of pressure, the Mexican government passed a law in 2005 allowing Mexicans living outside the country to vote in presidential elections in Mexico. The upcoming election scheduled for July 1, 2012 will be the second time voting-eligible Mexican expatriates throughout the world will exercise their vote-from-abroad privilege. This Spotlight discusses the history and process of external voting in Mexico, voter participation rates inside and outside of Mexico, and several key characteristics of voting-age Mexicans in the United States.
Over the past decade, Singapore's multicultural yet nationalist society has experienced substantial inflows of Asian and Western professionals, low-skilled migrants from across Southeast Asia, and new immigrants from nontraditional sending countries. This, coupled with increasingly permanent emigration of educated and skilled Singaporeans, has presented the city-state with complex challenges related to migration policymaking.
This report explores the migration patterns and demographics of Black African immigrants in the United States, examining their admission channels, human-capital characteristics, and labor market performance. The authors also provide an analysis of these immigrants' integration prospects.
Over the past half century, migration from Mexico and Central America to the United States has been driven in part by regional demographic and human-capital trends. As the U.S. labor force became better educated, fewer native workers accepted certain low-skilled jobs. This report offers a look at the economic changes that have coincided with a Mexican and Central American population boom.
In 2010, based on changes to the DREAM Act legislation pending in Congress, MPI issued revised total and state-level estimates of the unauthorized youth and young adults who might be eligible for conditional legal status, updating its DREAM vs. Reality fact sheet.
This fact sheet, based on analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, documents the top languages spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) nationwide and on a state level.
Repealing birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrants, a step discussed in some circles as a means to reduce illegal immigration, would significantly increase the size of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States, from 11 million today to 16 million by 2050, this brief reveals.
This fact sheet examines the number and growth of students in U.S. schools in need of English instruction.
Over 5.3 million U.S. students during the 2007-08 academic year were enrolled in English Language Learner (ELL) programs. This fact sheet examines the states and districts with the highest number and share of ELL students and offers a detailed breakdown of key statistics.
Slightly more than 2.1 million unauthorized immigrant youth and young adults could be eligible to apply for legal status under the 2010 DREAM Act, though historical trends indicate that perhaps fewer than 40 percent would obtain legal status because of a variety of limitations. This policy brief offers detailed estimates of potential DREAM Act beneficiaries.

it's brazil time: 2 new lots arrive today
We have 2 new lots coming in from Brazil, and both are pure Bourbon varietal coffees: Brazil Fazenda Boa Sorte Natural Bourbon and Brazil Cachoeira da Grama Yellow Bourbon . That means overall we have a great selection of full-on natural (dry-processed) Brazils, and pulped naturals. It's probably a good time to experiment with these coffees as brewed and espresso. I prefer naturals for the Southern Italian (darker) roast style, and pulped naturals or semi-washed for the lighter N. Italian style. We also have a nice pulped natural, full body decaf lot arriving today: El Salvador PN Las Ranas WP Decaf.

In 'Generation Swine', Motley Crue blends metal, industrial and a dose of punk into a crunchy, flavorful and #@$%!-kicking album. Although there are a couple of weak tracks(specifically Glitter and Brandon), all in all it is a strong and revealing insight into the musical direction of the best rock and roll band on the face of the earth. Motley Crue has always created waves musically and culturally, and The Bad Boys of Rock have always gone in directions that no other band has had the talent or foresight to go. Blasted by "expert" critics their entire career (who then went on to praise copycat bands), Crue has always been a fan favorite and will once again please with a fantastic album. With killer riffs, pounding drums and tight vocals, the always lyrically gifted Crue have reunited and produced great songs such as 'Find Myself', 'Afraid', 'Flush', 'Generation Swine', 'Let Us Prey' et.al., and the newly done/remixed version of 'Shout At The Devil' is a masterpiece (again!). Look forward to forthcoming Crue albums as the four original Bad Boys crank out high voltage mayhem for the new millenium. As always, Nikki, Tommy, Mick and Vince will have the last laugh on the "critics" and nay-sayers.
Mötley Crüe Biography - Mötley Crüe Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD – playable on all CD players) paper sleeve pressing. Universal. 2008.Generation Swine has the potential to be visceral and contemporary, and on tracks like "Find Myself" and "Let Us Prey," Motley Crue actually meld metal and industrial into a high-voltage hybrid. But too often, the group lapses into cheeseball melodies and wimpy choruses that undermine its more inventive efforts. And if the band was trying to prove to the world that it's still hungry and forward-thinking, it should have thought twice before including a revamped version of the 14-year-old song "Shout At the Devil." –Jon Wiederhorn

As much as it pains me to say it, this was not the Crue's best effort to date. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not bad but I just don't think it came across as Motley Crue. When I listen to it I don't hear the things that made Motley great in the past, obviously this is due to the stylistic departure the guys wanted to exercise in order to, I'm guessing, reinvent themselves and appeal to a younger fanbase. If not for the fact that this was a Crue album I think it may have actually been more well recieved, but this album was so radically different from anything they had done before I think it caught allot of people off guard, including myself. It was a ballsy move on their part to do something like this, but I guess that is what Motley has always been about. The song Afraid asks "Are you afraid of change?" evidently the Crue are not. There are some good tracks though, Beauty, Afraid, A Rat Like Me, all have subtle shadings of a more familiar Motley Crue sound. Let Us Prey was actually one of my favorites, because it was so heavy and different. This was more of an experiment if anything I think, it was definately a departure but I think it has its good points. Was as good as other Crue albums, no. Was it a bad album, no. Not really Motley Crue as I see them, but still worth adding to the collection.
This album hella ROCKED! . All the songs on the album kicked … "Brandon" was a song written and sung by Tommy dedicated to he's newly born son. I would have done the same thing. "Glitter" is a Motley ballet that should not be overlooked. It is up there with "Home Sweet Home". Buy it!
some of you reviewers embarass me as a crue fan. especially the poser who is no longer a crue fan because of this album. good, we dont need you anyway(fair weather fan). shout 97 was the saviour of this album. its the primary reason i listened again and again…the only reason i learned the other songs. probably my least fav crue album..but you dont turn you back on your band cuz they put out a less than perfect (in your opinion) album. shout is nikki's creation..he can do/redo it any way he wants to…i thought it rocked…although i do not care for the album as a whole. still a crue fan till the end.
It's unfortunate that this last collaboration with the original members of Motley Crue was their best, and sold the least. The members of Motley Crue have grown as human beings, and as song writers. It's too bad that most of their fans have not. This album demonstrates some of the most intense drumming Tommy Lee has released, and the most meaningful message that Nikki Sixx has ever given. I understand that growing up with Motley Crue was all about sex, drugs, and rock n roll. However, they have matured and the true Crue fans should too. From an artistic and creative point of view, this is the best Motley album ever recorded.

A relative newcomer to the social media scene, Pinterest could make the difference between so-so sales and a very happy holiday for your business.
The site now has 25 million unique visitors, more than double its size from the beginning of 2012. Though Facebook and Twitter dwarf Pinterest's following, it's worth marketing your wares there for the holidays, as Pinterest will account for nearly 40 percent of social media-influenced purchases.
Here's a step-by-step guide for running a successful holiday marketing campaign with Pinterest.
1. Sign up for a business board
Pinterest announced the release of business accounts on November 14, making it easier for fans to find and follow companies and its products. In addition to marking business profiles with verified accounts, they also included follow buttons.
Tip: Create a business account now even if you don't plan to market on the site this holiday season. It reserves your name for when you're ready to start using Pinterest.
2. Pin in private
Another new feature unveiled by Pinterest this month allows users to create a board and tweak it behind closed doors before making it visible to the public. To work in private, scroll to the bottom of your profile and click "Create a Secret Board".
Tip: Search Pinterest to find which of your products people are pinning. You can then market the most popular or raise awareness for a product with less buzz.

3. Build boards for busy buying days
Take advantage of the holiday season's biggest buying days by creating special boards for them. If putting a board together for Cyber Monday, have the board filled with your best offers at least 24 hours in advance.
Tip: Optimize the board by including keywords and hashtags, such as Cyber Monday.
4. Match offerings to Pinterest's audience
Knowing who uses Pinterest is crucial to your success with the tool. Consider that 80 percent of Pinterest's users are women between the ages of 25 and 55. Even if your business doesn't get many sales from that demographic, the site has the potential to expand your target audience or inspire its users with gift ideas.
Tip: Even though men are the minority on Pinterest, a survey showed 37 percent of them bought an item after seeing it on Pinterest, compared to 17 percent of women.
5. Don't just pin your own products
Create boards dedicated to gifts for a specific audience (e.g. Gifts for Women) and pin appropriate products there. Don't just use your own products. You should genuinely try to solve people's gift-buying quandaries by including products from other sites where appropriate.
Tip: Tag pins with a dollar amount to add a price banner. Having a price often increases a product's 'likes' and places it in the "Gifts" tab on Pinterest's homepage.
6. Make content actionable
It's not enough to simply pin pictures of your products and wait for sales to come. Add links to Pinterest pictures that take people to the appropriate product page, which leads to a higher rate of conversion.
Tip: Publicize your Pinterest page using other social media accounts and in emails and newsletters.
7. Create Pinterest Promotions
Engage customers by running Pinterest promotions. A simple contest involves encouraging users to repin their favorite of your products to their board. Randomly select a winner and send them the product they pinned as the prize.
Tip: Make sure to include a copy of the contest rules in your profile or on your board and have a clear end date.
8. Segment your boards
Examine the buying habits and interests of your past customers and create boards that closely match their interests. When the board is ready, send them an email with a link to the board that matches their interests.
Tip: Don't just segment by customer behavior. Create niche boards based on categories of products or the places where they're found.

Beautiful Creatures
3 out of 5 Stars
Director • Richard LaGravenese
Starring • Alice Englert, Alden Ehrenreich, Viola Davis, Emma Thompson
Rated • PG-13
Recommended to • Those looking for a fantasy romance where something actually happens.
Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) wants to escape his sheltered Southern town, but there's something to be said about falling in love with Lena (Alice Englert), the new and mysterious girl who lives with her hermit of an uncle.
The instant "Twilight" was a runaway hit the onslaught of movies with similar plots and themes were inevitable. Thankfully that allowed "Warm Bodies" and now "Beautiful Creatures" to be made. "Beautiful Creatures" isn't quite as inventive as "Warm Bodies," but it does have a major advantage over "Twilight" in that characters make major decisions and sacrifices with consequences that stretch beyond their personal space. Whereas "Twilight" was about being selfish, this film is about being selfless. It also looks like a film, rather than a made-for-television special with the occasional splash of glitter. I'm not saying "Beautiful Creatures" is a masterpiece; it isn't. It is an entertaining voyage that works extremely well when it keeps things small. When the film goes crazy for special effects and a general sense of cinematic chaos it gets a bit silly and steals away the spotlight from the developing relationships. More Ethan and Lena and not nearly as much witchery would have suited me better.
Safe Haven
3 out of 5 Stars
Director • Lasse Hallstrom
Starring • Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel and Cobie Smulders
Rated • PG-13
Recommended to • Those looking for Nicholas Sparks' attempt at making a romantic thriller.
Katie (Julianne Hough) flees from her mysterious and presumably dark life and ends up in Southport, North Carolina, where she reestablishes herself while falling for Alex (Josh Duhamel), the local widower with two kids. Unfortunately you can't always outrun the demons from your past.
Another Nicholas Sparks film cut from the exact same mold as every other Nicholas Sparks film. It's romance with a sense of danger and a guaranteed happy ending. Yes, Sparks is as predictable as a M. Night Shyamalan twist. He has a formula and he's going to stick to it. "Safe Haven" does try to sneak in a few twists by keep important details from the audience until the end of the film, but most are fairly easy to pick up on because without the twists the characters would make absolutely no sense. You might not exactly guess what the twist is, but you'll know you're being toyed with and expect answers before the film is through because Sparks always ties up all the loose ends.
"Safe Haven" is what you'd expect it to be. No more, no less.
A Good Day to Die Hard
3 out of 5 Stars
Director • John Moore
Starring • Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney and Sebastian Koch
Rated • R
Recommended to • Fans of films that are heavy on action and light on brains.
John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Russia to try and get Jack (Jai Courtney), his irresponsible son, out of prison. Typical to form it isn't long before McClane becomes the last man standing between the forces of good and evil.
There have been moments in the Die Hard franchise where the story actually had something to say and the action wasn't the only reason for the film to exist (and some would debate that claim). "A Good Day to Die Hard" has no purpose other than to connect one bombastic action scene to the next with as little plot as possible. Not that this should surprise anyone since the script was written by "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" scribe Skip Woods and John Moore, the film's director, was responsible for "Max Payne" and "The Omen" remake. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out exactly what direction the franchise is heading in.
So let's simply ignore the fact that the film is essentially built upon the fact that John and Jake don't seem to get along but deep inside we know they'll sort it out and end up on good terms by the time the bullets stop flying and just focusing on what the filmmakers were most interested in: the action. "A Good Day to Die Hard" takes the average car chase and makes it twice as long, destroys five times the normal amount of vehicles and sneaks in a reference to one of the earlier films. When it blows something it up the explosion is three times the size it should be, slow-motion effects make the blast last twice as long and they drop in a reference to one of the previous films. Are you sensing a pattern here?
"A Good Day to Die Hard" is all about the nostalgia for when louder, bigger, faster and stronger (not necessarily better) was the sequel formula. It makes for an extremely entertaining film that is about as nutritious as a handful of sugar. If that's what you're in the mood for, the film is delicious. Just don't be surprised if you need something with a little bit of substance to ward of the inevitable stomachache.

Tottenham are our rivals, I understand that, but I want to dig a bit deeper into the rivalry.
From what I understand (being a new fan circa '05) Spurs have many reasons to hate Arsenal.
- Arsenal moved north of the river a long time ago into their territory becoming local rivals in London.
- Arsenal became a very successful and winning club, especially in the Arsene Wenger era. Spurs are not that.
- Arsenal are a big club with legendary players, a nice new stadium and worldwide recognition and fanbase. No for Spurs.
- Arsenal have dominated Spurs on the pitch (maybe not as much in the past two seasons though)
So there are the facts as I understand them. (probably missed some, let me know)
I get why Spurs hate us, but why do we hate them?
I guess my point would have to be: I would rather Chelski miss out on the Champions league then Spurs.
When i think of the teams in the EPL that I don't like it goes Chelski , City, United, Liverpool, And then Spurs.
Not saying I like them, just don't see them as as big of rivals as some of the other teams.
So please someone help me better understand why we as Arsenal fans should hate the little baby Spurs?

Authorities said Allen died at the scene.
Asheville police said they charged Folston with Driving While Impaired. Additional charges may be filed as the investigation continues.

The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association says it will be looking closely at the circumstances that left a Williamson County freshman with a spinal cord injury.
A member of the Independence High School wrestling team, 15-year-old Hunter Garstin, is in intensive care after suffering the injury during a Huntsville tournament.
TSSAA officials said they haven't witnessed a spinal cord injury due to wrestling in Tennessee in the past 20 years.
"It's just a freak accident that happened," said Bernard Childress of TSSAA. "Hunter went into his opponent with his head down, and they just both got into an awkward situation. He was pushing up against his opponent, and his opponent pushed down on him. It crushed his vertebrae."
Childress said the details of Garstin's case is being turned over to the National Federation of High Schools. The Sports Medical Advisory Committee could make recommendations for high school wrestling rules based on the case.
"It's a major concern for us anytime we've got a student athlete that's injured," said Childress. "Our number one priority in all of our sports is to keep our athletes safe."
Dr. Oran Aaronson of the Vanderbilt Spine Center added neck and spinal injuries from high school sports are rare, and he's never worked a case from wrestling. He said these injuries are possible in any full-contact sport which is why he recommends for wrestlers to build up neck muscles and follow rules of the game closely.
"If you have an early warning sign where you have an event during a game, and you get numbness, tingling down the hands, or transient paralysis, you need to seek medical advice," said Aaronson.
After leaving his hospital in Huntsville, Garstin will be going to a rehab facility to continue healing.
The community has set up an account for the family at Suntrust Bank called the 'Prayers for Hunter Garstin Benefit Fund'.

Each year, Flagstaff Blues & Brews Festival spreads across a grassy lawn at the Continental Driving Range for a day-long celebration of music. An eclectic lineup of blues performers entertain guests until the sun begins to set. Meanwhile, tented outdoor beer gardens provide fuel for the celebration in the form of craft brews and food while benefiting local school music programs. To accommodate guests of all ages, there's also a children's area filled with bounce houses and games; kids 12 and under are admitted to the festival for free.
Just south of the gateway to the Grand Canyon stands Bearizona, a drive-thru wildlife exhibit that regales creature-seeking carpools with bison, mountain goats, and other animals from the comfort of their own automobile. The 3-mile drive takes guests through sprawling enclosures, where they can peer in on packs of cuddly arctic wolves or ask black bears for directions to the nearest stocked cooler. After traversing the park's drive-thru section, visitors can stroll through the forested Fort Bearizona enclosure, which houses exhibits of smaller animals and Bearizona Barnyard, an interactive petting zoo.
The public sought exciting new entertainment in the Roaring Twenties, and as the storytellers of the Golden Age of Hollywood labored at myth making, theaters for the newfangled moving pictures were popping up across the nation. It was in this spirit that the Orpheum Theatre opened in 1929, though the Spanish Medieval– and Baroque-style building was one of the city's last major projects before the great stock-market crash. Regardless of its less-than-auspicious beginnings—not to mention nearly a century of hardships to follow—the theater avoided the wrecking ball. In the '60s, the Orpheum introduced Broadway theater to the city and staged such productions as Annie, Caberet, and Barefoot in the Park. Decades later, the theater was renovated and reopened once more, its majestic interior landscapes restored to their former glory.
The highly trained guides at Canyon Rio Rafting spearhead half-, full-, and multi-day expeditions down the Salt River, Rio Chama, and San Juan River. Certified in first aid and versed in advanced wilderness medical and rescue training, they ensure that trips run as smoothly over Class II–IV rapids as a mustache over the foam of a cappuccino. Following romps on oar rafts, paddle rafts, and inflatable kayaks, guides nourish excursionists with gourmet meals.
Alternatively, Canyon Rio Rafting's certified instructors help foster future whitewater navigation by staging courses for guides, rescue technicians, and kayakers.
In 1906, after studying disruptions in the orbit of Uranus, Percival Lowell began to suspect the existence of a planet beyond Neptune. He referred to it as Planet X, and he scanned the night sky from his Flagstaff observatory until his death in 1916. More than two decades passed after the initial conjecture before Lowell astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh sat down in the very same observatory and confirmed the existence of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Though Lowell and Tombaugh's planet was kicked out of the solar club in 2006, their discovery led to several decades of essential research at Lowell Observatory. The observatory's astronomers have since discovered evidence of the expanding universe and have also provided exhaustive measurements of the motions and basic properties of stars. In 2012, the nonprofit observatory became home to the Discovery Channel Telescope—the fifth largest telescope in the continental United States and currently the only one capable of observing the astronauts stranded on Neptune.
One of the oldest continually operated ski areas in the U.S., Arizona Snowbowl turns over a new leaf from late May through mid October. During this time, one of the resort's ski lifts remains open to whisk visitors to the top of an 11,500-foot-tall peak, where they take in views of land features up to 70 miles away and get a rare chance to see the Kokopelli shape that the Grand Canyon makes from above. The bustling summer season is also when area experts host interpretive talks and hikers trek through the Kachina Peaks wilderness on high-altitude trails. Of course, Arizona Snowbowl is also open for winter recreation from mid-December through April.
After a day of outdoor activities, adventurers can sip cocktails, scoop up green-chili chicken stew, and munch sandwiches at the Agassiz Lodge ?featuring live music on the weekends?, located at the base of the scenic chairlift where guests can also shop for souvenirs and clothing.

Ithaca, N.Y. -- January 28, 2012 -- Despite some good scores from Brittany Baglow and Lauren Pocius, the Springfield College women's gymnastics team was only able to split results in a tri-meet this afternoon at Ithaca College. Ithaca was the overall winner with a score of 184.200, followed by Springfield at 181.400, and Rhode Island College at 168.925.
Baglow, a junior from nearby Amherst, Mass., was her usual competitive self. She finished in a tie for first in the vault with a score of 9.625, tied for first in the balance beam at 9.600, and was second in the floor exercise at 9.550. Overall, she placed second in the all-around with a score of 36.375.
Jessica Bolduc of Ithaca finished first in the all-around at 37.725.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn is investigating a home break-in and numerous car thefts throughout the county. According to Wasylyshyn, there have been several different thefts in Bowling Green, Perrysburg, Pemberville and Grand Rapids.
The most alarming was a home break-in where the homeowners returned home to find their dogs running outside, their TV, jewelry, and firearms gone. One Bowling Green storage facility was also the recent target of thieves, who broke in and removed the outboard motor from a boat in storage for the past year. You don't have to be a victim, there are ways you can protect your things. First check the security of the facility. Wasylyshyn says you need to look for gates and cameras to make sure your possessions are safe. There are also safety services you can use right at home. "We do vacation checks," says Sheriff Wasylyshyn. "If you go on vacation you can go right to our website and fill information on what vehicles belong there, what lights are going to be on and we will be on and we check the house."
Thefts and burglaries are lower than average this year, but the sheriff says it always helps to keep an eye out on suspicious activity.

PFW executive editor Dan Arkush offers his prediction for the Week Three showdown between the Packers and the Bears at Soldier Field.
All three matchups between these archrivals last season, including the NFC title game, were flat-out wars. I see another down-to-the-wire bone-cruncher in the making, with the Bears playing much better than they did in their meltdown against the Saints. There's a lot to like about the Packers so far this season, especially the offense. But they are not going to go undefeated. I see them at 2-1 after losing a game that turns in the Bears' favor following a late turnover, similar to last year's Week Three game in Chicago.
Although I think Green Bay's undermanned secondary might play better than a lot of people think with Nick Collins being out, I believe a more balanced Bears offense and a strong defensive effort featuring DT Henry Melton, who was invisible vs. New Orleans, will be the keys in a Bears victory.
Prediction: Bears 24, Packers 22

Checkin was easy and despite having read to the contrary we had no hold ups or delays getting on or off the ship when we docked in any port.
The ship is massive! Deck 5 or "The Street" doesn't look or feel like you are on a ship. it like being on a high street.
The secret weapon this cruise has is Joff Eaton the Cruise Director. He definately made the trip entertaining and gave added value. His 5 day progressive Quiz was a scream, loved it, you should do it if you get the chance.
The evening shows were good and the theatre is lovely, but the daytime activities were not well advertised and some activities were on at a Ridiculous time. Sorry,I do like cardio dance but not at 9am when I'm on holiday. I was also disappointed there was no aqua aerobics.
The whole ship is spotless and they crew are alway cleaning. 10 out of 10 for this
Now to point out one or two things they could improve on (not saying these points ruined the holiday but they would have been nice to have/improve on)
1. The coffee is AWFUL! Even the special coffee ie Lattes are bad. we ended up buying some when we 1st docked.
2. The towels are 6 inches too short. they need to be longer, both hand towels and bath towels. Ladies need to be able to wrap their hair in a towel when they get out the shower and you can't with these.
3. Swimming Pools are a mis-noma, you can't swim! they are far too small, again they need to be longer. They could have managed this if the H2O zone were smaller.
Overall a great holiday and attention to detail is good and the staff are amazing, everyone more than happy to help with anything you want
Will definately cruise again

OAKWOOD — MaKayla Gayler has been a cheerleader since she was 5 years old — and she's still not tired of it.
"It's my favorite thing to do," said Gayler, a freshman at Oakwood High School.
That passion has led her to compete for the chance to perform nationally — in the Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia as part of the Universal Cheerleaders Association's All American Cheer Team. Gayler performed in the parade and in the finale last month.
It was her third time that she won the chance to march in the parade.
"When you get out there with the crowd, it's exciting, and knowing you're on TV," she said.
At certain points in the parade, the girls would turn on the music and do their routines with their pompons.
She wasn't nervous this time, as it was her third year, but she remembers being nervous when she was a seventh-grader. "It was a bigger deal when I was younger," she said. "I wasn't nervous (this time). I try to block it out the best I can."
This year, the parade participants enjoyed warm weather, but she remembers it was a snowy day with hail her first year.
Gayler started with the Oakwood Youth Cheerleading when she was a kindergartener, and continued with that through seventh grade. At Oakwood Junior High, she continued her love of cheerleading.
That's when she first tried out for the UCA All American Cheer Team and made it both her seventh- and eighth-grade years. As a freshman in high school, she got the chance to try out again this past summer while at camp in Bloomington, Ind., with Oakwood High School varsity cheerleaders.
Gayler also had been in competitive gymnastics in second through fourth grades, later switching to competitive cheerleading in fifth grade to present. In February, she will try for a level 5 cheer team out of Chicago.
Gayler said she wants to try out for the UCA teams throughout high school. Sophomores and older get the chance to perform in London, which she's looking forward to.
In Philadelphia, the entire Gayler family made a vacation out of the trip. Cheering her on were parents, Jeff and Hillary Gayler; older sister, MaKenzie, also a cheerleader at Oakwood High; and younger brother, Gage, a student at Oakwood Grade School.
Other family members also have joined the trips at times, including her grandparents, Lesley Chilcote of Covington, Ind., Gary and Judy Gayler of Covington and Rick and Connie Knight of Sidney.
"It was a great experience," said Chilcote, who was the chaperone all three years. The family took sightseeing tours, and enjoyed the city.
Chilcote said she's proud of her grandchildren, and so was her late husband, Gary Chilcote.
"All of my grandkids are awesome," she said.
Referring to MaKayla and MaKenzie, she said, "The sky's limit of both those girls."
Besides cheerleading, MaKayla is involved in basketball, volleyball, softball and track, and is a high-honors student.

Peterson had surgery for a sports hernia on Thursday. The Vikings made the announcement on their website and say they "expect a speedy recovery with no long-term concerns." Peterson had the procedure in Philadelphia.||||||| Peterson, who also was named offensive player of the year after returning from a torn ACL to rush for 2,097 yards, was bothered by an abdominal injury for the last month of the season. He sat out the fourth quarter against Houston in December, which may have kept him from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.
Peterson's sensational season following major knee surgery has earned him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player Award.||||||| Earlier Saturday, Peterson won Offensive Player of the Year. The Minnesota Vikings running back finished with 2,019 yards, a mere 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's rushing record. Peterson beat out Peyton Manning, who in his first season as Denver's quarterback contended for a fifth MVP trophy. Manning's four are a record. Peterson received 30 1-2 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning got the other 19 1-2 votes.
Peterson was an unanimous choice for The Associated Press All-Pro team announced Saturday.||||||| Peterson, who came within 9 yards of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, is a three-time All-Pro.
Peterson isn't about to let up after his awe-inspiring season for the Minnesota Vikings. After rushing for 2,097 yards and nearly breaking the NFL record just one year after reconstructive surgery on his left knee, Peterson is planning on a similarly intense offseason regimen.||||||| Peterson said Monday as the Vikings cleared out their lockers that he wants to get as many teammates as he can to join him for his workouts. The Vikings lost in Green Bay to the Packers in the NFC playoffs on Saturday to finish 10-7, a seven-win improvement from last year. Peterson said he'll take some time to rest his body, but not much. He said his rehabilitation program showed him the benefit of starting preseason training early.
Peterson was held to 99 yards in Saturday's playoff loss - an improvement after gaining 199 and 210 in the first two games against Green Bay.||||||| It was only the second time in the last 11 games that he was held below 100 yards.


text: The staff in the shops are also extremely knowledgable and friendly. I "visited" a ring in one of the shops almost daily that my husband actually purchased for me on the last day of the cruise. Billy from the shop brought it to me at the Tuscan Grill where we were having dinner the last night with a beautiful red rose. He was so excited for me. We truly had another wonderful cruise with the Constellation crowd. Just one drawback for us; the internet. Expensive and not great no matter where you are on the ship.

PEKIN, Ill. -- Disasters can happen at anytime and anywhere and being prepared for a disaster is something officials in Tazewell County say they are taking very seriously.
The Tazewell County Emergency Management Agency held a workshop on Wednesday to help educate elected officials on disaster preparedness.
It is also to help officials understand their respective roles if a disaster strikes.
Organizers say residents need to know that their community is safe and that officials are prepared.
"People have a sense of helplessness during a disaster and making sure they understand how to calm their community and insure their community can recover from that," said Emergency Management Director Dawn Cook. "That's an elected officials job is kind of to make sure everything is running smoothly and not only from the day to day stuff, but when there is a disaster they're also making it run smoothly as well."
Emergency Management officials hope that Tazewell County will expand its training exercises following the workshop.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Its been two years since a Florence teenager disappeared in Covington and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
A vigil was held Sunday evening for Paige Johnson.
Johnson was last seen in Covington Sept. 23, 2010, but despite dozens of searches and leads all have come up short.
Jacob Bumpass admitted to dropping her off that night and was the last person to see her.
He's long been a person of interest, but has never been charged.
Bumpass was recently released from prison for a parole violation from a separate incident.
About a year ago Paige's mother declared her legally dead.
However, friends and some family members are holding out hope.
Paige's grandmother, Jenny Roderick says the past two years have been surreal.
"Feels like a lifetime to tell you the truth and then it feels like it was yesterday," said Roderick.
Roderick says the teenager's disappearance has been especially hard on Paige's mother, who found it too painful to attend today's vigil.
"I didn't want to come either, but when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make my daughter come I figured that I needed to come for her, you know. I needed to come for her so that people know that we are never, ever, ever going to give up looking for Paige," said Roderick.
The ordeal has been hard on all of Paige's family and friends, but her cousin Alicen Franks says she's hoping the vigil will help generate answers the family needs.
"I just want to keep the word out about Paige. I really believe that people know what happened," said Franks. "She was with different friends and so my hope is by keeping her name out there...us all getting together...remembering her that someone will come forward and say something I know is weighing on their heart."
Paige's best friend, Abby Schmitz, says the past two years have weighed heavily on her.
"Seems like a big dream. I didn't think it was possible not to have my best friend around anymore," she said.
Franks says the sadness her family has endured is nearly crushing. "I've seen it add so much grief to people's everyday life and that grief happening to our family is hard for anyone to function as usual."
Roderick says functioning as usual takes on a whole different meaning when you feel your heart has been ripped out, but she still clings to hope.
"I always try to keep just a little bit of hope. I know my daughter doesn't have any hope. She definitely thinks Paige is in heaven and she wants her home," said Roderick.
The family is convinced somebody somewhere knows where Paige is and they are offering a $3,500 reward for information that will bring the disappearance to a close.
Anyone with information is urged to call Covington police or the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
