A Woman's Strength
Meet Cheryl Haworth, the teenage girl who is ranked as the USA's top Olympic weightlifter, out-competing all of her team mates -- both men and women -- on America's official team.
Cheryl has been weightlifting since she was thirteen years old, when she saw weightwatchers at the gym, and wanted to join in. She pursued the sport of her own volition, and by the age of fourteen, she was a world class elite athelete, ready for Olympics challenges. She actually dedicated herself to persistently out-lifting all of her competitors and consistently besting her own records. Cheryl is a sports superstar.
She also stands out in a crowd. She is 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weighs over 300 pounds -- most of which is packed into broad shoulders, massively muscular arms and legs. She doesn't fit into standard women's clothing sizes, needs specially sized and supported furniture and requires more calories per day than most people.
Fitting In
But, despite her unusual size, her focus on her sport and her heavy training schedule, Chery's life is that of a rather typical teenager. She goes to school, studies hard and does well. She does shares daily chores around the house with her sister, and has a good relationship with her loving and supportive parents. She loves to draw and does so very well. She is well liked by her peers. In fact, she has lots of friends and admirers, and manages to spend quality time with them.
But, as she matures into womanhood, and specifically when a serious performance-threatening injury causes her to reflect on her future goals, she begins to realize that some of the physical attributes -- her size, weight and musculature -- that are her prime assets in her pursuit of her sport may actually become quite problematical when she is no longer able to compete. That day is fast approaching. Even if her injuries can be overcome, the clock is ticking on her sustainability as a high power athlete at the top of her game. Cheryl is now faced with trying to fit in with the mainstream society's projection of what women are supposed to look like and how they're supposed to behave.
Future Plans
In profiling Cheryl and chronicling this meaningful period of transition in her life, Strong! explores her growing concerns about how she will cope with life as an ex-weightlifting woman. One of the most pressing issues is whether she'll be able to find and settle into a romance. She's never thought about a love life, never dated, and the prospect of even dressing to attract attention is a bit daunting. Cheryl must also find a career that she can comfortably pursue outside of the world of sports competition and its demanding routine. Her transition into adulthood is extremely challenging.
And, By Extension...
Although Cheryl's circumstances are unique, she's an everywoman in her basic concerns, and her story and struggle is of interest to anyone who has faced body image issues and/or feels challenged by the standard mainstream projections about women's beauty and behavior. Fortunately, Cheryl is, at the film's title suggests, as strong in character as she is physically, and she's a wonderful role model for girls who are maturing, and for women who are still haunted by their girlhood worries about self image.
The film's release is particularly timely because this year marks the 40th anniversary of Title IX, which enabled Cheryl (and other contemporary women athletes)to pursue a career in competitive sports. And, the fact that the Olympics are looming on the horizon, gives this documentary a particularly timely relevance.

text: None of the reviews that I have seen on this page to date make any mention of Sean Reinert, the drummer on this album, so I felt I should write something. He is one of the best drummers in the scene, and deserves some recognition. For me, a review of Human that does not mention the drumming misses the point. For people obsessed with speed alone, his performance is the fastest I have ever heard. A decent standard for a "fast" beat would be something like Slayer's "Angel of Death", which clocks in at about 210 beats per minute (BPM). It is impressive because the feet are doing 16th notes of this on the bass drums, which makes the section sound quite intense. On Human, however, most of the songs clock in between 230 and 240 BPM. He maintains this performance for a majority of the CD as well….But suppose we ignore this. Sean himself seems to know that musicianship is more than speed alone. A lot of drummers in the scene have speed, but their playing sounds very angular and predictable. Sean brings in the influences like Vinnie Colaiuta and Stewart Copeland to give the music a less predictable feel. His ability to syncopate and turn the beat around keeps this CD interesting, and he has a great rhythmic vocabulary. Any drummer caught in a rut looking for someone to inspire them should check this out.

Bar Admission
Minn. for First Time Admits Foreign Law Grad Without Requiring Her to Pass Bar Exam
Posted Sep 28, 2012 5:09 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
For the first time ever, the Minnesota Supreme Court has admitted a graduate of a foreign law school to practice in the state without first requiring her to pass the bar exam.
JaneAnne Murray, who earned her law degree from England's renowned University of Cambridge, is licensed in New York and worked there for 22 years at the federal public defender's office; O'Melveny & Myers; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; and in her own solo criminal defense practice, the National Law Journal reports.
Under Minnesota rules for bar admission, Murray would not have qualified to take the bar exam, the court explains in its opinion (PDF), because they require the applicant to have graduated from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. The ABA, however, does not accredit foreign law schools.
Citing Murray's record of high academic and professional achievement (she graduated fourth in her law school class at Cambridge), a supreme court majority held that she had met its high standard for waiving the requirement that bar applicants must have graduated from an ABA-accredited law school. It called her additional request for admission under a rule that allows those with significant practice experience to be granted admission by waiver, without taking the bar, a closer question, but found it would be an undue hardship to require Murray, who moved to be with her family after her husband got a job in Minnesota, to wait for a state law license until next year.
"Ultimately, we conclude that the confluence of several factors related to Murray's case—a stellar educational record, a long and impressive professional resume, and familial hardship—combine to make her case sufficiently distinctive that we are persuaded to waive the requirement that she successfully complete the Minnesota bar examination," the court wrote.

Clemson heads up to Winston-Salem tonight to take on Jim Grobe's Demon Deacons. They're always a well-coached team that seems to give the Tigers fits. Clemson has been abysmal in recent Thursday night road games. Neither of those issues is going to matter though, because the Tigers will return victorious. Here's ten reasons why.
1. Talent. In terms of recruited talent, Wake Forest's two-deep roster is nearly a full star less talented than Clemson's on offense, defense, and special teams. Wake has zero players who were four or five star recruits. On the lines this won't matter as much because of the excellent job Grobe and his staff do of coaching good technique (but this won't be a Wake advantage like it has been in years past; see below), but everywhere else on the field, it really hurts. You can't coach speed, size, and instinct.
2. Scheme. In the early 2000s when Grobe first took over at Wake, it was a dumpster fire and even those flames were burning out. The program was a communal punching bag for everyone else in the ACC. Given that his talent level was off the charts and not in a good way, Grobe made some key coaching moves. He preached discipline and fundamentals, he cleaned up his team's execution, and he instituted a lethal combination of misdirection and cut blocking (legal, but annoying. Watch a GT game to see what I mean). Beginning in 2007 he moved away from the cut blocking and started implementing more of a pro-style offense with less misdirection. As he has continued to do this, his teams are still disciplined, but they don't give Clemson fits the way they used to. Our defense has been at its best in the last three years against pro-style attacks (Virginia Tech!) and I expect nothing less tonight. Speaking of defense…
3. The Tiger Defense is still improving. Yes, we've been decimated by injuries, but little by little we've made strides. Last week against the Hokies was the best showing for the defense since, yes you guessed it, the last time we played Virginia Tech. The defense has looked sharper and sharper on 3rd down, in the red zone, and late in games. All that improvement means that even if Clemson's offense comes out flat, Wake should have a hard time taking advantage. I don't even need to mention that the Demon Deacon defense is statistically worse than ours.
4. Tanner Price. The mostly mediocre junior QB boasts a 50% completion percentage on the year. His problem is that even that stat is inflated by one game where he got a quarter of his completions for the year. He struggles to throw the ball deep and has just 7 touchdowns to 4 interceptions so far. Thanks to Price's prowess, Wake ranks 115th in 3rd down conversions and just came off a 1 for 15 performance against UVA. Against other teams with mostly mediocre QBs, Clemson has thrived (Ball State, Furman, Auburn, VT). Price will struggle, even to connect with his favorite target:
5. Michael Campanaro. The stand out wide out led the league in receiving until he broke his hand against Duke in week 5. He was originally listed as out until November, but Grobe announced this week that he took part in practice on Monday and will play tonight. The problem for the Deacs is that Campanaro's "practice" consisted of catching tennis balls. Grobe said he would play, but he never said how much. This could be a ruse to confuse Clemson's gameplan or a threat to help keep us honest in run defense. Either way, the truth is that Campanaro is not 100% and a hand injury is a crippling disability for a receiver. Campanaro still leads Wake's team in receiving in spite of missing 40% of their games, so they certainly can't count on anyone else to pick up the slack. He might be back, but he won't be what he was earlier this year.
6. Clemson's Receivers. West Virginia and the Real USC might beg to differ, but Clemson has the best receivers in the country. Nuk Hopkins is on pace to break about five ACC records and will certainly add to his record breaking season tonight. Sammy Watkins has been largely held in check by marijuana and viruses, but at last report, the Deacs hadn't planted either on the field at Groves Stadium. Sammy got back on track last week with 8 catches and the smart money says he's going to have a breakout game.
7. Curses Schmurses. Reading ESPN you would think that Clemson would lose to the Pendleton High School Debate Team as long as they played on the road on a Thursday night. The funny thing is that none of the traditional curses seem to apply to Dabo's squads. He went to, then won the ACC title game (part of the "Bowden Curse") then beat the "Atlanta Curse" against Auburn earlier this season. As Tajh Boyd said last year when asked about traditional Clemson struggles, "We weren't on those teams, so we don't really know anything about that." This is a new team and while they aren't without struggles of their own, don't expect them to disappoint you tonight. People often forget that for 65 years we dominated South Carolina on the road on Big Thursday in a much tougher environment than…
8. Groves Stadium. So far this year Wake has had a hard time getting even 30,000 fans to show up for home games. Clemson comes close to that – in the spring scrimmage. This will be more like a neutral site game since I fully expect a strong contingent of Tiger fans to show up loud and proud. These might well be the cheapest tickets you'll find all year for a Clemson game, so if you're in the area, head on down to the game. The Tigers will put on a show.
9. The kicking game. Chandler Catanzaro is one of the best kickers in the country and after some struggles early in his career, has made 20 consecutive field goals. His range goes out to 50 yards with Benton taking over from there. Wake meanwhile is having a hard time in the kicking department. Jimmy Newman has been relegated to a part time job doing kickoffs after missing 6 of his last 10 field goal attempts. If the game is close, Wake will be fighting an uphill battle and fourth down could be rough all night for them.
10. The running game. Wake has struggled to run the ball this season with just 120 yards per game good for 101st in the country. With little to no ground game, a banged up receiving corps, and a mediocre QB, the Deacs just won't be able to keep up with Clemson's fast-paced, high-flying offense. Look for a blowout.

"If you're in Culver you NEED to go to Tender Greens" is what I've heard for the last 3 years. So I finally made it. When I got there, the line was out the door, I guess their friends all told them to check it out too. Although the line was long, it moved quickly. The dining area was full inside but thankfully there were a few tables ready outside.
My grilled prawn salad came out momentarily. The prawns looked like they were hiding in the giant shrub on my plate. While it was a very good salad, it left me wanting more. Yes it was a healthy dinner option, and I still laugh that Honey's Kettle is just a few doors down. The service was great and the place was clean. I guess for $10.50 I was expecting this salad to knock my socks off. Maybe next time I'll try one of their sandwiches or soups & see how it goes. As for right now, I'll stick to healthy fare in the South Bay.

Leanid Zaika: Miasnikovich is only expected in China and North Korea
14:37, — Politics
Still the visit of the Belarusian Prime Minister to China will remain barely noticed.
Such an opinion came from the head of the analytical center Strategy, an economist Leanid Zaika as he commented for the charter97.org web-site on Miasnikovich's visit to China.
"This will not be a kind of an overwhelming event for Cina and will remain barely noticed. Imagine, a representative of a country is coming, which is 140 times smaller", - the expert noted.
The analyst added that "it is generally difficult for Miasnikovich to go somewhere – he is not accepted in Europe, while they do not eagerly invite him to the neighboring countries".
"Only such countries remains as North Korea and China. But I hope that Mikhail Miasnikovich will use the time successfully, and I would advise him to buy at least a hundred tablets in China. Or he could negotiate so the Chinese presented those as a gift. They are very kind people. It will at least allow to say that the visit was successful", - the economist believes.
Leanid Zaika is convinced that the Belarusian leadership should not go to exotic countries, Europe and ski resorts.
"I feel sorry for Michael Schumacher and Angela Merkel. This is, by the way, is such a warning for our president. What if they ski together with Putin and get deadly injured? That is why it is good that Mikhail Miasnikovich is going to China, not Courchevel. He should bring 100 tablets for government members. They will look smarter and more intelligent with tablets. It is bad that they installed Korean screens for them and attached the Integral label. What is the big screen for? One should live within one's means", - the Strategy's head ironically concluded.
We would remind that Belarus' Prime Minister Mikhail Miasnikovich will go China on 19-24 January with an official visit.

Oxnard's green waste, loaded with trash, prompts door-to-door campaign
Oxnard's latest green waste contract will bring something new: a door-to-door effort to reduce the amount of trash dirtying up residents' yard trimmings.
The City Council on Tuesday night awarded Republic Services of Oxnard a six-month deal for up to $450,000 to take in grass clippings and other gardening leftovers as well as landscaping waste from commercial firms.
While proposals were being evaluated, a study found Oxnard's curbside green waste contained high levels of trash — so high state regulations require it to be presorted at a permitted facility before composting.
Republic, the local operation of Phoenix-based waste giant Republic Services Inc., already operates such a permitted facility, the city-owned Del Norte Regional Recycling & Transfer Station.
The special sorting is required if contamination of plant material exceeds 1 percent by weight, according to a city report. Trash in Oxnard's green waste stream was as high as 14 percent in some samples, with average contamination 6 percent, the report said.
Stephen MacIntosh, Republic's general manager for local operations, seemed downright chipper about the challenge.
A "green team" the company launched last year to help with cleanup at a half-marathon event will pair Republic staff members and community volunteers for the educational effort.
They'll focus first on neighborhoods with high contamination rates, which will be determined by people with clipboards eyeing incoming trimmings and noting truck and route information.
Outreach will include door-to-door campaigns, door hangers, fliers and programs at the Del Norte facility.
MacIntosh said he even envisions people on scooters with bright green helmets who would peek inside containers and slap on informational stickers if they spot trash.
As contamination rates decline, the city's cost to process the green waste will also go down because fewer people will be needed to sift out trash, he said.
Grass-filled trucks started arriving at the Del Norte facility about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, less than 10 hours after the contract was approved late Tuesday, MacIntosh said.
Crews picked out garbage, getting it down to almost zero contamination.
"It was superclean off the back end of the line," he said.
The cleaned-up green waste will go to the Camarillo-based Farm Share composting operation, where it will be turned into soil products for local farmers, nursery owners and landscapers.
The nonprofit FOOD Share, an Oxnard-based food bank, will also benefit. Republic will pay FOOD Share $2 for every ton of green waste it recycles, with proceeds helping feed Oxnard residents, contract terms stipulate.
MacIntosh said Wednesday's haul totaled 162 tons, meaning $324 for FOOD Share.
Oxnard's green waste previously went to Agromin Inc.'s composting facility near Ormond Beach.
Bill Camarillo, Agromin's chief executive officer, said losing Oxnard's waste stream won't change operations. The company, which makes soil products, operates nearly a dozen locations from Monterey to Orange counties, including four in Ventura County.
The site near Ormond Beach will still take green waste from Port Hueneme, Camarillo and parts of the unincorporated county.
"We have plenty of feedstock to make product," he said.
Because Oxnard's green waste was so dirty, it created a "tremendous challenge" for workers to sort before composting, he added.
"My guys are relieved they don't have to clean that material" anymore, Camarillo said.
The green waste contract can be extended for up to three additional six-month stretches.
"We're extremely pleased and honored to be the city's partner in yet another venture," MacIntosh said.

UPDATE: The season has started so the form is closed.
If you follow @StumptownFooty for our game-day tweets you have probably noticed our regular bets with our collective press-box chum Mike Donovan. Well, we decided to step up the bets this year and include all of you as well.
How It Works
We came up with an over/under bet for each Timbers player (ignoring whoever this last signing is). Just go to the form we have linked below, fill it out with your Stumptown Footy username, and make your picks. As the season goes on we will give you regular updates as well as some additional over/under bets for each game.
Make your bets by clicking here.
Want some advice? Just want to check out the bets before filling out the form? Well, here are Mike's picks and his reasoning behind them. Just hover your mouse over the blacked out area to see the pick).
Assists: 6.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - In 2 MLS seasons, Alhassan has had 8 assists in 37 starts, which would put him on pace for just over 6.5 assists if he starts the majority of the season.
Fouls conceded per 90 minutes: 2.6
Vegas Mike says Under - Chara has averaged 2.51 fouls per 90 for the Timbers and there is no reason that number will increase especially considering Chara might play more on the outside than in years past.
Games played: 6.5
Vegas Mike says Under - Danso seems to be on the outs with the Timbers and will likely be listed no higher than the 3rd backup once all CBs are healthy.
Reserve league goals: 4.5
Vegas Mike says Under - This number seems high to me considering he has preseason ACL surgery. In 2011, coming off preseason surgery, he scored 4 reserve league goals.
Minutes played: 9.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - Last year, 29 Timbers saw action in league matches and I think Evans is more likely to see the field than the likes of Kawulok, Taylor, Fehr, etc
Reserve yellow cards: 2.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - I just can't see Fehr receiving yellow cards in three different reserve matches (or a double yellow in any match). Last year, Mike Chabala led the reserves with 2 yellow cards.
Games started: 2.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - While Ricketts will likely be missing time due to international absences, Gleeson is below Kocic on the depth chart and will need multiple injuries to start for the Timbers.
Assists: 3.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - In the three seasons Harrington started 20-plus games, he recorded three or more assists in all of them.
Goals against average: 2
Vegas Mike says UNDER - During final 14 games last season with Horst anchoring backline, Timbers gave up 1.5 goals per game.
Games started: 27.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Last year, the Timbers didn't have a CB play more than 27 games and there is no guarantee Jean-Baptiste will be starting the majority of the season over Horst or Mosquera.
Games played: 22.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Jewsbury enters the season both hurt and without a starting spot. While he might become a closer off the bench when the Timbers need to finish out a draw or win, it seems unlikely that Jewsbury will play 20-plus games.
Minutes played: 2200
Vegas Mike says OVER - While Johnson has only played more than 2200 minutes once in his career, with a guaranteed starting spot and the captain's armband, only an injury will prevent him from surpassing this number.
Goals scored: 9.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - Last season while playing for one of the worst teams in MLS, Johnson scored 7 goals. I think he can increase that due to great support play in the midfield.
Unused substitution: 4.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - This hinges on Rodney Wallace either starting games in the midfield or him missing a substantial amount of time due to the Gold Cup. Kawulok gets a lifeline because he can sub at left back.
Saves per 90 minutes: 3
Vegas Mike says OVER - If Kocic does get in, he will playing behind a team that is likely to give shots due to their aggressive style of play.
Starts: 30.5
Vegas Mike says Under - It seems reasonable that Miller will miss at least four games due to injury, suspension or just rest.
Games suspended: 1.5
Vegas Mike says Under - Personally I think Mosquera won't play enough games to get yellow card accumulation and that would mean multiple red cards or punching Jack McBeam again. Which is possible.
Goal of the week nominations: 1.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Nagbe has won goal of the week twice in his career and been nominated twice. I see that one per season average continuing.
Games played: 12.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - I think 10 games sounds about right for Nanchoff this season. There are a ton of midfielders, but there will also be a lot of chances to play since Porter has been known to change his style based on the players he has.
Twitter followers: 1750
Vegas Mike says OVER - He needs to gain 300 followers before the end of the season. A end-of-season comeback should push Richards over the top.
Shutouts: 4.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - The Timbers recorded five shutouts last year with one of the worst defenses in the league. It doesn't seem likely they will do worse this season.
Reserve league assists: 5.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - I'd be surprised if Rincon has 6 assists in the reserve league. Averaging an assist every other game seems difficult.
Assists: 2.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Even with his distribution skills and Porter's attack through the middle style, a centerback with three assists seems unlikely.
Games started: 4.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - I have Tucker-Gangnes currently as 3rd backup CB just ahead of Danso. Even if he pulls an AJB and gets a handful of early season starts, it will be tough for Dylan to crack that platoon.
Games started: 8.5
Vegas Mike says OVER - Even though Valencia seems like a perfect late game sub, I can forsee a scenario where Porter wants a true second striker to pair with Johnson.
Goals and assists: 17.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Last year only four MLS midfielders (Brad Davis, Graham Zusi, Landon Donovan, and Dwayne DeRosario) had 18 or more goals/assists.
Rodney Wallace
Goals: 3.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - Even the biggest Wallace fan (IE me) would be hard pressed to predict four goals from the backup midfielder/defender.
Passing completion percentage: 80%
Vegas Mike says UNDER - 80 percent is a high percentage for any player, let alone, a backup midfielder. This seems like too high a number, for me.
Penalties earned: 1.5
Vegas Mike says UNDER - The Timbers can't earn any penalties, let alone one specific player.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday March 12, 2012
Co-Founder of Congressional Progressive Caucus Cites Pocan's Record Fighting for Working Families
Madison – Congressman Miller (D-CA 7th), the Senior Democrat and Former Chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, endorsed State Rep. Mark Pocan in his candidacy for Congress today, citing his record of accomplishments on behalf of working people.
"We all know the challenges we have in Washington. We're up against people who want to tear apart the safety net we've built for working families over decades." Rep. Miller said. "Congress could use a few more union members like Mark Pocan who understand what the stakes are for working people and who will fight to protect them. Mark has spent his career fighting for middle class families and he's gotten results."
"I'm grateful to have the support of such a longtime leader for progressive causes and I'm honored by his faith in my ability to advance our shared values." Pocan Said.
Congressman Miller is the Senior Democrat of the House Education and Workforce Committee and chairman of the Democratic Policy Committee, a leadership position. He is a leading advocate in Congress on education, labor, the economy, and the environment.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) now features "official" rankings on its website, UFC.com, covering all eight weight classes (including women) plus a pound-for-pound list. Rankings are updated approximately 36 hours after each UFC event, which means we're back with another installment following this past weekend's (Aug. 3, 2013) UFC 163 show in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The biggest movers and shakers this week were in the light heavyweight division as Phil Davis scored a close and controversial unanimous decision over former champion and previously No. 1-ranked Lyoto Machida.
If you're wondering how the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion (in conjunction with FightMetric) compiles its list, here's the criteria:
Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members. The media members were asked to vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are in active status in the UFC and a fighter can only appear in one weight division at a time. The champion and interim champion are considered to be in the top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight-class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.
That voting panel includes yours truly as well as MMAmania's own George Halvatzis Jr. You can check how our rankings stack up compared to the overall consensus by selecting either "Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com)" or "George Halvatzis Jr. (MMAmania.com)" in the voting panelists tab at the top of the page.

One of the easiest ways to climb the financial ladder is through rehabbing houses. The business of buying and selling properties for profit is considered a lucrative industry nowadays because despite the ongoing economic downturn, many home rehabbers were still able to earn huge amounts of money.
If you are planning to fix and flip houses to earn money for you and your loved ones, you should choose investment properties that require small renovations and little cosmetic work. Such a move can help minimize your expenses because you don't need to allocate more funds just to make a fixer upper home look brand new. In addition, sprucing up such a property takes only a small amount of time so you don't have to wait that long to find your next rehabbing project.
An example of such investment properties is a real estate owned home or REO. Also known as bank owned properties, REOs are houses repossessed by banks and other lending institutions after homeowners failed to settle their mortgages and other payments. These properties are in relatively good condition because most banks and lenders have a special department whose main task is to look after real estate owned properties. If you can't find a house that needs minimal repair work, however, don't be afraid to invest your money in an ugly house that has great location.
Always remember that location is vital in real estate investing because a house's proximity to major points of interest in a town or city can boost its selling point. Securing financing is also a vital aspect of rehabbing houses. You have to make sure that you have a considerable amount of ready money on hand so you can easily finance your fix and flip project. However, you have to create a spending plan or budget so you can control the amount of cash the goes into the property.
To ensure your success in the real estate investing business, you have to avoid pitfalls that will negatively affect your career as an investor. Therefore, you should continue learning new skills and acquiring new knowledge when it comes to investing in real estate. By equipping yourself with the right information, you will be able to spot problems and complications long before they come your way.

Mayor George Schloegel calls it the front entrance to the City of Gulfport. Years of planning and construction went into the new Jones Park and adjoining Gulfport Harbor. So, was it worth the wait?
Many would agree the $35 million project has become a centerpiece for the city. With near perfect weather on this November day, WLOX News found plenty of visitors enjoying the new attraction.
Whether it's the hundreds of new boat slips, the large covered pavilion or the abundant green space, the project is attracting people.
"This is going to be a well used community asset. I guarantee it," said Dan Ehrenbeit from Ohio.
He and his wife Linda are visiting their daughter, who recently moved to South Mississippi.
"It took us 16 hours to get here. So, we're not getting back in the car for anything. We're walking everywhere today," said Linda Ehrenbeit.
Their walk around Jones Park and the harbor left them impressed.
"You guys may be living in the gem of America," he said.
Families with young children flock to the playground in Jones Park. It's where we found four-year-old Jacelyn Ross.
"We come down here a few times a month," said her dad, Richard Ross of Saucier. "They've done a great job with this park. We love what they've done the past few months."
Former Gulfport Mayor Brent Warr and current Mayor George Schloegel, both envisioned this project as a gateway to the City of Gulfport. They wanted something that citizens and visitors could be proud of.
"When we build it back, we want to build it bigger and better and stronger. When you come here today, and if you knew what it looked like in 2005, the difference is shocking," said City of Gulfport Spokesman Ryan LaFontaine.
Dan and Gayle Hagan give the project two thumbs up. The snowbirds from Kentucky may have discovered their new winter home.
"I like it. Like what I see. We may be making a nest down here in the wintertime," said Dan Hagan.
The only complaints we heard came from two boat owners who are unhappy they can't access the harbor boat ramp during the weekends of big music concerts and often times for several days prior to such events.
City Spokesman Ryan LaFontaine said that is an unfortunate inconvenience, but when the big shows arrive, boat ramp access must be blocked off to accommodate setting up for the event. He said during those times, boaters and fishermen are directed to the nearby Courthouse Road boat ramp.

David Ives' Venus in Fur Added to George Street Playhouse's 2012-13 Season
By Andrew Gans
The George Street Playhouse announced Aug. 23 that David Ives' critically acclaimed Venus in Fur will be part of its 2012-13 season.
The drama, which was seen on Broadway last season, will play the New Jersey venue April 23-May 18, 2013. Opening night is April 26.
Casting and creative team will be announced at a later time.
"The sexy hit of the New York theatre season, this electrifying and darkly seductive comedy will shock and surprise as it deftly blurs the lines between fantasy and reality," according to the George Street Playhouse. "With a crash of thunder and lightning, an arresting young actress, Vanda, arrives hours late at the end of a long and unfruitful audition day. An emotionally-charged game of cat and mouse unfolds as Vanda makes clear her determination to land the lead in Thomas' new play, an adaptation of the classic erotic novel, 'Venus in Fur.'"
For ticket information call (732) 246-7717 or visit www.gsponline.org. George Street Playhouse is located at 9 Livingston Avenue.

The Black community is in a world of trouble. And President Obama alone cannot fix it. This is where real leadership is needed: real, un-bought, unbiased leadership. Black America's biggest challenge, truth be told, is itself. And Black pastors are at the center of the issue. If we can get our leaders to the table – political, business, academic and community – we could create our own salvation.

Among the very few people celebrating our country's fiscal crisis are criminal justice reformers. Bill Piper of Drug Policy Alliance says, "Next year is probably an unprecedented opportunity to defund the federal drug war." But colorblind cost-benefit approaches leave intact the racial attitudes, stereotypes and anxieties that gave rise to the system in the first place.

Good morning from beautiful South Carolina. Every week this time of year we find a few more Twins organization players reporting to their winter teams, although players who were with the Twins won't be reporting for several more weeks.
Following a few year's when the Twins representatives in the AFL played with the top team in the league, this year's version of the Mesa Solar Sox are struggling with a 5-10 record and find themselves in last place in their three team division. After a 0-10 start, Chris Parmalee is hitting .268/.360/.634 in 41 at bats while leading the Solar Sox with 3 home runs and 15 RBI. By comparison, Boston's Ryan Kalish (some may remember his name as one of several players talked about in the various Santana scenarios) is second on the team with 8 RBI. Rene Tosoni is hitting .268/.367/.439 while leading the team with 2 triples. After a hot start, Steven Singleton is hitting .282/.293/.436. Michael McCardell has made 3 starts (8.2 ip) with an ERA that shot up to 7.27 following his last outing when he gave up 5 earned runs. Spencer Steedley has struggled with his control in his first 6 games (6.0 ip) with 3K/10BB for a 6.00ERA. Alex Burnett appeared in 5 games (4.2ip) with a 5.79ERA and 4K/5BB. Steve Hirschfield, who was one of the top pitchers in the organization this year, has pitched 4.1 innings in 5 games with 7K/2BB and a 20.77ERA.
Wilson Ramos continues to hit like a man with a mission with last night's 2-4 game becomming the norm. Early this season, Ramos is 25-62 with 18 runs scored, 21 RBI, 6 doubles, a triple and 5 home runs. Ramos is responsible for 34 of Aragua's 109 runs. After a slow start Dustin Martin has been hitting much better of late at .264/.385/.453 in 53 at bats. Martin is second on the team with 14 RBI. Justin Huber is hitting .283/.377/.348 while Jonathan Goncalves is 2-11. Jason Jones has a 5.00ERA in 4 starts with 18.0 innings. Frank Mata has been great, with a 2-1 record and 3.18ERA in 7 games (11.1 innings). Oswaldo Sosa has a 5.40ERA in 1.2 innings while Edgar Ibarra did not appear in any games this week. After a terrible first week, Aragua has improved to 7-10 and moved up to sixth place in an eight team league.
Pedro Guerra (Ace of this year's DSL Twins) has been very good for Lara in the VWL, appearing in 5 games this week with 7 hits, 5 runs (2 earned) and 6K/5BB in 7 innings. Guerra has a 4.09ERA early this season. Winston Marquez had been outstanding for Lara until last night's start that they lost 11-1. Marquez gave up 6 hits and 4 runs in 5.0 innings to raise his ERA to 5.40 for the season. He has started 4 games with 12K/6BB in 21.0 innings.
Juan Portes has appeared in one game for Aguilas of the DWL. Estarlin De Los Santos is hitting .250/.314/.313 in 32 at bats for Gigantes of the DWL. Juan Morillo didn't make any appearances this week while Jose Lugo appeared in 2 games (2.2 innings) with 2 hits, 2 runs and 1K/1BB.
Will be travelling the next few days so it will be mid-week before I get back to the position reviews with the corner outfielders. Will also be completing my first ever Top 20 after I have completed all the position reviews.

GEORGETOWN, Del. - Former Delaware State Senate candidate, Eric Bodenweiser, accused of unlawful sexual intercourse with a young boy, was back in court on Tuesday morning.
47 ABC's Jarred Hill was in the courtroom, and says that four people testified, including Bodenweiser's ex-wife, who lived at the home during the alleged molestation, and a neighbor.
The defense is reportedly planning to file a motion to get Bodenweiser's charges reduced. Court has wrapped up for the day, and will resume Wednesday morning.
Jarred will have more on this story, tonight at 6 PM.

9Hey, Anne Hathaway's Hair is Growing Out
Ha, so I forgot that Anne Hathaway got married. Bizarre, right? But that's not the reason I gathered you all here today. No, it's because girlfriend's hair is growing out from that way-short business she had going on earlier this year for 'Les Miserables', and the thing about it is that it looks good. I cut my hair as short as Anne did awhile back, too, and you should *see* what this shit looks like now. It looks like ass. It looks like an ass's NEST. It's a cross between a mullet and a mushroom, and I don't know which is the lesser of two evils, so I try my best to wear lots of hats 'til I think it looks better.
What do you guys think of Anne's hair? And aren't you proud of her for not "growing" her hair back overnight, like some female celebrities do (here's looking at you, Britney)?
October 24, 2012 at 12:30 pm by Sarah
9 Responses to "Hey, Anne Hathaway's Hair is Growing Out"
Looks a little like a young Liza Minnelli sortof. She's got a cute pixie thing going on. Some women can pull that off without giving a lesbian vibe. I wish I could….I am so sick of hating my hair! Thank God I can french braid the shit.
Ok, cute pixie stuff…claiming control of your body and your image for self empowerment: all great stuff but still, it doesn't look good. She was way hotter in the Havoc days than with this style and yes, I know it's for a role but obviously it's for a movie where T&A isn't a factor…ugh…professional actors wanting to be all serious and stuff.
She looks stupid.
I agree not attractive.
I like Anne but she looks like Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang theory.
Holy shit, yes!!
Nailed it! lol
Well, I suppose letting it grow out without running to the weave chair is some kind of "integrity"…but, I wouldn't put it up there with donating to Jerry's Kids or whatever. Anyway, short hair emphasizes that big nose of hers and it is definitely an improvement if she grows it back out.

Services guide
1:50 p.m.: Josh Boyce ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the combine despite having a broken pinky toe, so that's good.
"I think it (helped my draft stock) because I know a lot of people that day didn't run as fast as I did," Boyce said today
Follow-up report to me
That's probably fair to say. Boyce, by the way, ruled himself "day-to-day," so he's already got the lingo down. We'll see if he actively participates in next week's rookie camp.
12:20 p.m.: The Patriots drafted TCU wide receiver Josh Boyce with the 102nd selection in the fourth round.
The 5-foot-11, 206-pounder caught 161 passes for 2,535 yards and 22 touchdowns in three collegiate seasons. He had a career-high 66 catches in 2012, and 998 yards and nine touchdowns in 2011. Boyce ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash.
Boyce is a fluid route-runner with good playmaking ability, and he has good athleticism. Interestingly, Boyce is not considered a good blocker or special teamer, so something will have to click for him to make the team.
This has also served as an intriguing draft lesson of sorts. Lousiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton was viewed by analysts as a second-rounder who could make his way into the opening round, but he is still on the board. Yet, 13 receivers have already been taken, including two today, so the league views Patton much differently.
12:00 p.m.: Hello again from the Gillette Stadium press box, which is our headquarters for the final day of the draft.
The Patriots will be busy right from the start. They've got the fifth pick of the fourth round, but then they're on hold until three picks late in the seventh round (Nos. 226, 229 and 235).
There are some intriguing names on the board, too, including South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, Louisiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton, Texas defensive end Alex Okafor, Rutgers linebacker Khaseem Greene, Georgia safety Bacarri Rambo, Syracuse safety Shamarko Thomas, Alabama defensive tackle Jesse Williams, Tennessee Martin defensive tackle Montori Hughes, tackle David Bakhtiari and Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones. Any of them could be a fit.
Stay right here because we'll keep you up to date throughout the day.

Work by famous artists to be displayed in Maldon
3:00pm Saturday 8th March 2014 in Local News
Artwork by famous names including David Hockney, Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst will be coming to Maldon.
Hayletts Gallery in Maldon High Street is displaying original prints by a host of big names until April 5.
They will also be available to buy.
A gallery spokesman said: "By the term original prints, it means an etching, monoprint, screenprint, woodcut, linocut, lithograph, or engraving, which the artist has created by hand as opposed to a reproduction or photographic print.
"Many processes have gone back generations and are generally time consuming and complicated techniques.
"With each different process it allows the artist to create a different finish to suit their needs, be it delicate lines or large bold shapes.
"The prints are usually limited, numbered and signed by the artist."
Hayletts Gallery is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. Call 01621 851669.

Word is that Mehmet Okur has been waived after being traded to the Blazers in the Gerald Wallace trade. So am I the only one who thinks he could join this veteran squad and contribute? Post some thoughts here.
I know we're in line to sign big man Ryan Hollins to fill Wilcox's roster spot, which is great considering what's left. Now we need to fill O'Neal's spot.
I think Okur would be effective in spurts by spreading the floor with his outside shooting ability. Something we haven't had since the Sheed fail and good old Raef Lafrentz.
Plus, having another veteran on the roster would help us maintain our exceptionally high team age average and, in all seriousness, add some more fuel for this FINAL last hurrah from this team.

China's May industrial output and retail sales both grew at a faster pace than in previous months, the government has said, as massive stimulus measures introduced since last year kicked in.
The figures come as the Asian giant's vital export sector has been hit by the global slump, which has slashed demand in key overseas markets, leading Beijing to seek ways of boosting domestic spending.
Industrial production, a key gauge of activity in factories and plants across China, grew 8.9 percent in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said -- compared to a 7.3 percent increase in April and 8.3 percent in March.
Retail sales meanwhile grew 15.2 percent in May, it said.
"The rapid improvement of domestic demand is reflected in industrial output. That is the main reason for the growth," said Hao Daming, a Beijing-based economist with Galaxy Securities.
"We expect the (industrial output) figure will further accelerate in the rest of the year but the increase will be limited, mainly because of very weak exports."
Monthly growth in industrial output hit lows of just over five percent at the end of last year as the world slowdown bit, falling from a 16 percent rise in May of 2008, the bureau said.
The government late last year launched an unprecedented four-trillion-yuan (585 billion dollar) spending package focused on infrastructure investment and boosting domestic demand as a hedge against the export troubles.
Exports have continued to suffer, with the government saying on Thursday they plunged 26.4 percent in May, the seventh straight monthly decline.
Thursday's announcement that fixed-asset investment grew by 32.9 percent year-on-year during the first five months of 2009 also reflected concerns that the massive stimulus spending was unsustainable, economists said.
However, Friday's industrial output and retail data appeared to show the government's stimulus measures were having the desired effect.
May's production of cement, a key component in construction projects, increased 13.5 percent from a year earlier, slightly faster than April's growth.
Automobile production meanwhile rose 29 percent to 1.14 million units.
"To a large degree, the improvement in end-demand for metal-intensive capital and consumer items has been stoked by the government?s targeted incentives," said Jing Ulrich, a Hong Kong-based economist with JP Morgan.
She cited a cut in sales taxes on automobile purchases.
"Despite a somewhat mixed picture, we anticipate higher quarter-on-quarter industrial production growth going forward," she added.
In another sign of increasing domestic consumption, the 15.2 percent increase in Chinese retail sales -- the main gauge of consumer spending -- came in higher than the 14.8 percent rise seen in April.
For all of last year, retail sales were up 21.6 percent.
The World Bank has forecast economic growth of 6.5 percent in 2009, which would be China's lowest growth rate since 1990. The country experienced double-digit growth between 2002 and 2007.

The Fans: Two Students Blog on the CCA Tournament
It's hard to find two stronger supporters of the Old Dominion University Monarchs men's basketball team than Cameron King and Lauren Scolamiero.
You can find the ODU students in the front row of the student section at every home game. They've also traveled to see the team in Richmond, Harrisonburg and Williamsburg.
And at this weekend's Colonial Athletic Association Championship in Richmond, you'll find Cameron and Lauren on our website.
They'll write "The Fans" - a blog about their experience cheering for the Monarchs as they try to win a spot in the NCAAs.
"We're the biggest fans of ODU basketball, ever," Lauren said.
The duo was there last year, for the Monarchs' shocking quarter-final loss to William and Mary. It's not going to happen this year.
ODU is the No. 4 seed going into the tournament. Their first game will be Saturday against the winner of Hofstra and UNC-Wilmington
But our blogging team will take the court on Friday. Lauren and Cameron will do a "pre-game" blog, with their predictions for the team, and for the most spirited fans in the CAA. Regular blog entries will follow before and after every ODU game for the rest of the weekend, hopefully right up to the final on Monday night.
Follow "The Fans" all weekend on the ODU website, www.odu.edu. If you want to follow the team live, Saturday's and Sunday's games can be seen on WSKY4 (Channel 4). ODU's game tips off at 2:30 p.m. Monday's CAA Tournament final will be shown nationwide on ESPN2.
Go Monarchs!
Welcome to the beginning of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament 2009!
Cameron and Lauren here. All weekend, hopefully until Monday night, we'll be blogging about the sights and sounds from Richmond.
After a furious finish in which Old Dominion won nine of its last 10 games, the Monarchs have achieved a 4th seed in the tournament. The top four seeds get a first round bye, and after the beginning of our conference campaign this seemed like a virtual impossibility.
After losing a very tough one, 58-42 to Northeastern at home, ODU has come back with a vengeance, led by junior forward Gerald Lee. Lee is averaging 15.7 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, and has been a monster over the 10-game final stretch.
In a press conference Monday, coach Blaine Taylor said, "I'd be pulling the wool over everyone's eyes if I said we weren't playing our best basketball."
The team has certainly picked an appropriate time to peak, and will need every bit of energy this weekend. Our likely opponent will be Hofstra -- the 5th seed in the tournament -- who will have to get by a struggling UNC Wilmington squad Friday night.
The Monarchs will be looking to avenge a nine-point loss to Hofstra earlier in the season, at Hofstra, the only meeting of the two teams this year. The Pride matches up well with Old Dominion in terms of size, athleticism, and style of play. This has the makings of a great college basketball game and the fans are getting geared up.
Even though the conference tournament marks the beginning of our spring break, this is not stopping students from showing their support for their team before traveling elsewhere.
Friends have already booked hotels for the weekend and are hoping to stay until Monday for the championship game to cheer on the Monarchs.
When Lauren asked Kirk Nawrotzky if he was carpooling with friends to save gas money he replied, "No, we are all driving up separately. We are all going home afterward."
Alumni tend to underestimate the "fandom" of us students, but the truth is, we are diehard fans. We don't have the luxury of having assigned seats at the Ted, so we stand out in the cold (sometimes for five hours) to be guaranteed a front-row seat.
Thankfully, we've been given the resources through Monarch Maniacs to be able to follow our team on the road. A bunch of us even went to the first-round NCAA Tournament game in Buffalo two years ago, when ODU received an at-large bid.
We "true" fans have taken full advantage of the opportunities that have been given to us to watch our team outplay other mid-major schools. We'll even be in Richmond Friday for the first round of the tournament, to get a feel for our opponent on Saturday.
Again, our game is Saturday at 2:30 p.m., against the winner of the Hofstra/UNCW game. It's going to be very exciting, so be there, and check back here through the weekend for a recap of how the Monarchs do.

We spend way too much time on this blog arguing with each other, yelling at trolls, and making fun of Brad still living in his mom's basement. We don't have actually have good laughs and truly enjoy being Colts fans. Stories from when we were children are the best of Colts stories because we didn't know what deficiencies our defense or offense had. We didn't know that the GM needed to be fired. We just watched the game cause we loved it and cause we were rooting for the Colts hoping for a win. For me, that's how it was. Being a Colts fan as a child was the best because I wasn't stressing over the team over things like I do now ie pass rush problems and protecting Andrew Luck.
So I decided to make this article of how everyone here became Colts fans to actually bring together this very argumentove community here at Stampede Blue. My story is actually quite funny, and I'm looking forward to see how your guys' stories come out in the comments section.
I was 7 years old visiting my aunt and cousins with my mom and sister in Tampa Bay in 1998. My cousin was about 13 so there was a considerable age difference between us. I thought he was so much cooler than me because he was older and had all these things I didn't have like a walkman, game consoles, and a boom box. I'll never forget it when he pulled out the first and original PlayStation asking me if I wanted to play Madden 98. Of course, he picked the Buccanneers since he's from Tampa. I didn't know how to operate the "Pick a Team" menu so he took my controller and looks at me and says, "Since you're from Indiana, your favorite team is the Colts right?" I looked at him not knowing what the hell the kid was talking about, I just wanted to be cool like him so I said "yes."
Now, yes I'm from Indiana, but this was a distant cousin of mine. In the Middle Eastern culture, you meet people you have no idea how their related to you. You just know their related to you. All he knew about me was that I was from Indiana. He did not know that I was from Northwest Indiana where everyone are Bears fans. And looking back at that I'm glad he didn't know.
Anyway, I got to play Madden 98 with my cousin and started to get the hang of the game pretty quickly. All I did was throw the ball to Marvin and run with Faulk. After about the third game we played, I was beginning to beat my cousin consistently. He got mad and didn't wanna play anymore. When I came back to Indiana, I started watching Colts games whenever they were on TV which wasn't much, but I loved watching them. I loved seeing Peyton Manning do what he did as a rookie! They didn't win too many games, but they were still fun to watch. Coincidentally, my first year of being a fan was Manning's rookie season. I kept following the Colts ever since, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm forever grateful of my cousin not knowing where in Indiana I was from and by him picking the Colts for me in Madden 98 because if that didn't happen, I'd probably be on the Bears SB Nation blog hoping Marc Trestman would turn Jay Cutler and the franchise around which doesn't sound too appealing. Looking forward to some of your stories of how you became Colts fans in the comments section. GO COLTS!!!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
The first time Jean-Marc Houmard waited on Andy Warhol at Indochine, he accidentally brushed his hand while serving a pot of tea. This anecdote, one of many included in the new book Indochine: Stories, Shaken and Stirred (Rizzoli), edited by Houmard and Maer Roshan, sums up the place's enduring appeal: glamorous enough that the famous go there to rub shoulders, mellow enough that they do so over tea. (And spring rolls, usually.)
Houmard co-owns the restaurant now, and has kept it as congenial to boldfaced names and bohemians as it's always been. There's certainly a healthy mix of them among the book's contributors, from Salman Rushdie and Susanne Bartsch, who contributed reminiscences to the oral history, to artists Kenny Scharf, Ruben Toledo, and Ross Bleckner, who chipped in new work inspired by the restaurant. Indochine comes out next month; tonight, it will be fêted at Bergdorf Goodman at an event co-hosted by Linda Fargo, Richard Johnson, Narciso Rodriguez, and Veronica Webb. Here, Houmard talks to Style.com about Indochine's quarter-century as a hot joint in town.
What was your first impression of Indochine?
It's funny to remember, because I'd heard about Indochine and gotten the idea that it was this grandiose place. And then, when I came for the first time, it was so non-grandiose, like, the door was just a door, and the room was small and a little scruffy, somehow. But there was something undeniably glamorous, too; the people were glamorous. The hosts, the bartenders, the people eating in the booths. You couldn't quite put your finger on it, but Indochine was just, in some way, incredibly cool.
As I understand it, "cool" wasn't really a thing in restaurants back in 1984.
Well, first of all, there weren't many good restaurants downtown. But Brian McNally, the original owner, he used his connections to people all over the city and got them to come. The East Village cool kids, the Soho artists, the uptowners who went to Studio 54. People would come to eat at Indochine for that mix.
Why do you think they've kept coming?
I think we've kept the restaurant pretty discreet. People feel comfortable at Indochine, you know? There's not that trendy feeling, like, OK, I've really got to get myself ready for a night out at the hot new restaurant. And it's never a zoo. But I also think we've managed to stay relevant because we are always adding new people to the mix—some people come because they've always come, but our staff is young; they all do things besides work at Indochine, like they're designers or stylists, and they bring in new crowds.
For all the talk of discretion, Indochine is definitely known as a place for celeb-spotting, and the photographs and stories in the book certainly testify to the fact that pretty much everyone who's anyone has eaten there over the years. Is there anyone who's come to Indochine that's made you star-struck?
Meeting Andy Warhol was a big deal. And Catherine Deneuve—I was a kid in Switzerland reading about her, and then I come to New York City, and there she is? That was crazy. And of course, because I was young and new to New York, I was impressed all the time. Those early years at Indochine are the most vivid, for me.
What made you decide to do the book?
We thought about doing a book five years ago, for the 20th anniversary, but we didn't get our act together. Someone had asked us to put together a cookbook, but it seemed like, eh, another cookbook? We felt like there was something more unique in the fact that so much downtown culture had gone through Indochine over the years, and wouldn't it be better to try to capture that mix? Dig up old pictures and so on. But that took a while.
The photos are a no-brainer, but what inspired you to commission the artwork?
The same impulse—to capture the spirit of the place. Indochine has always had a lot of artists coming, and we thought it would be fun to ask some of them to create work inspired by the restaurant. About 90 percent of the art in the book was done for it, specifically; the rest was pre-existing work we felt was relevant to the history of Indochine, like Anh Duong's portrait of Anne McNally, who helped Brian come up with the concept of the restaurant.
Who hasn't eaten at Indochine that you wish would come?
Queen Elizabeth. Or the Pope—that would be something. But, joking aside, the celebrities are a bonus, but it's the young kids who come that make me the happiest. Sometimes I worry that we're just running on nostalgia, but then some young kid, new to the city, shows up and thinks the place is cool for his own reasons, and I'm reassured. It makes me feel like, OK, it's been 25 years, but we can keep going.

Note: It is live wallpaper so you can't open the app, you will need to follow the instruction above in order to set the wallpaper. Also slower/older devices (shipped with Android OS below 2.1) can't run it too, currently it has been tested on Nexus 7, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S3/S4 so any mobile devices that is equivalent to them should run fine.
If you have put the app on SD card and restarted the phone, the wallpaper will reset to default since the system couldn't find the app first.

10...9...8...The countdown to blastoff has begun and Old Dominion University students will be watching. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), a collaborative project of ODU, businesses and the states of Virginia and Maryland, will launch its first rocket from Wallops Island on Monday, Dec. 11.
The university will stream a live feed of the launch in the House of Blue, located in Webb University Center, from 7-11 a.m.
The long-awaited launch will be the first of four scheduled over the next 12 months from the facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
Operated by the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority and directed by ODU Assistant Professor of Engineering Management Billie Reed, MARS was established in 1995 by Old Dominion and Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology. The facility features a $3.6 million, 113-foot-tall rocket launch pad and promises low-cost, safe and reliable space launch services for commercial, government and scientific/academic users.
The U.S. Air Force has contracted with MARS to launch a small satellite developed by the Air Force Research Lab on Dec. 11, and has scheduled two additional satellite launches for next April and November. The other launch, scheduled for June, is a NASA Langley spacecraft that will feature a new launch vehicle.
"This validates us as a viable spaceport," noted Reed in a recent interview with The Virginian-Pilot. "Having an orbital launch to your credit makes you real."
Reed said the upcoming launches will be used to market the spaceport to other customers as a low-cost, reliable facility.
There are only five other licensed spaceports in the country, including Vandenberg Air Force Base and Mojave Spaceport in California, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska and Burns Flat Spaceport in Oklahoma.
