It was 4:15 a.m. on the coldest day of the year. Frost coated the ground like snow. It was a balmy 28 degrees when I left the house at 5:45 a.m., but I was determined to report on the polling precincts for Election Day.
This was how my day started off, covering the local polling places for FauquierNow.com, my local online newspaper, around my hometown in Fauquier County, Virginia.
Due to the rural locations of each polling precinct, it took about a half an hour drive to reach each location. I visited a total of seven polling precincts in the southern half of Fauquier County on Election Day, spending about 30 minutes at each location. My editor, Lou Emerson, covered the northern section of Fauquier County.
The state of Virginia has specific legal ground rules for reporters on Election Day. Reporters must wear media credentials and identify themselves to the chief officer of election at each polling place. Interviews must be conducted outside the 40 foot prohibited activities area, according to Alex Ables, Fauquier County registrar.
The Code of Virginia (§24.2-604) says that media can come into the polling place for a reasonable and limited period of time to film or photograph.
The media must ask a voter's permission to take their photograph, cannot reveal how a person voted in the photo, and cannot film precinct materials to reveal voter names.
Once I knew the ground rules, I planned out my day according to the location of each polling place.
My goal for each location was to capture scenes at the different polling places around the county. Diversity, old and young voters, first time voters, and traditions at the polling places were scenes I looked for throughout the day. Photos were a very important aspect of the day.
I wanted to focus on humanitarian type stories that bring people together, instead of the politics of the day.
My day started at Liberty High School in Bealeton, Virginia at 6:15 a.m. There had been a long line stretching outside when the polls opened at 6 a.m. according to poll workers.
From there I traveled to Kettle Run High School and found my first in-depth story. A 33-year-old lady had brought her four-year-old son with her to vote. This was only her second time voting her entire life because she had been nervous about the whole process. She has now taught her son that voting is an important right by bringing him to the polls so when he is old enough to vote it will come naturally to him.
At Cedar Lee Middle School, where some poll workers have been working for 10 years, the atmosphere was full of excitement and the workers felt like a family. They always plan a potluck meal where everyone brings their favorite dish to share.
Several poll workers I talked with enjoy working the entire day just to see old friends and connect with the community.
At my own polling place, I met an 18-year-old high school student who voted for the first time. He had started a young democrat club at his high school and his car was decorated in patriotic window paint.
For the most part, I was allowed to take photos of people walking to the voting booth and checking in at the registration table without any problems. Most voters were friendly and put their political differences aside, agreeing to speak with me about why voting was important.
The only challenge became finding unique stories readers would find interesting.
Throughout the day, I realized how much Election Day brings people together, regardless of their choice of candidate. In a small town, you see people from the community you have grown up with your entire life. For one day, everyone stops their regular jobs to come together and vote, to have their voice heard.
One 93 year old man shared his wisdom by saying, "Voting is not only a privilege, but a duty."
There was a record turnout of 35,399 or 82 percent of voters who cast their ballots yesterday in Fauquier County, more than the 2008 election.

Aimee Semple McPherson
I noticed a couple of references to the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in Waugh's book, the most obvious one being that Aimee Thanatogenos is said to be named after her. I have been reading a really good book on McPherson: Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America (Harvard UP, 2007), which describes, among other things, how central she was to the religious and cultural scene of Los Angeles during the 30s. Like Horkheimer and Adorno, she was appalled by the Culture Industry of Hollywood, but she tried to adopt its techniques, such as lavish spectacle and radio, for her crusade. I just noticed that there is also a recent PBS documentary on her, but I haven't seen it. On the website are some photos of the Four Square Church and the radio towers: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/sister/sfeature/temple.html.

A theatre's catwalk isn't likely to be something to get a prospective donor to open a checkbook or a publicist to write an inspiring marketing piece, but it's an important part of the facility that affects its function. Straight or curved, expanded steel deck, plywood or concrete, removable rails or fixed. There are lots of choices.
Case study: At one black box theatre built a few years ago, expanded steel was used for the deck on a catwalk that rings the playing space. Expanded steel has the advantages that it is strong and fairly inexpensive, and it has holes, so light can shine through it, and also water from a fire sprinkler system above can protect the space below, as long as the expanded steel stays uncovered. The expanded steel deck in this theatre also proved noisy to walk on and was really noisy when tables or chairs were put on it, which happened when the theatre's staff discovered that the lighting and sound console operators could see and hear the shows much better from up on the catwalk than from the purpose-built control booth, which always seemed to be behind seating risers or scenery in this flexible theatre space. Shortly after the theatre was opened, the process began of the catwalk being covered over, piece by piece, with plywood and carpeting by the tech staff. Eventually a second set of fire sprinklers and work lights was installed below the catwalk, since it was no longer an open mesh, but a solid surface. Should the catwalk deck have been solid from the beginning, but what would that do to the budget? Or is there a way to install quiet steel mesh? Would concrete have provided a more durable surface, and one quieter than plywood laid on steel?
Theatre consultant Bill Conner of Bill Conner Associates LLC will lead a panel for the session "Catwalks for Technicians, not Models," scheduled for Saturday, October 25, from 2:00 to 3:30pm during LDI. Panelists will include Robert Tooker of the Production Resource Group, Charles Swift of Graham, Swift & Company, LLC, and Daniel Clark of the Entertainment Structures Group.

My BGN Brothers, I know this is a dark hour for us and for the Philadelphia Eagles. We're all trying to absorb a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of a damn good Packers team, and we're all thinking about this upcoming offseason. But as I look around Eagles Nation, I see people pointing the finger at David Akers, and even calling for his release. My thoughts on that after the jump...
Nobody has played more games in an Eagles uniform than David Akers. Nobody has played in more Eagles playoff games than David Akers, and I guarantee you no one feels worse about this loss than David Akers. Did his two missed field goals cost the Eagles a win? Most likely. But to be calling for his head after this game is beyond ridiculous.
For one: it was windy. With a wind gust between 13-20 miles an hour and a wind chill of 20, kicking field goals isn't easy...for anyone. I think you have to credit the wind for his first miss.
Secondly, Akers is a very valuable asset to this team. Without him and his perfect onside kick, I guarantee you we wouldn't have beaten the Giants. It was his foot that won us the Denver game last season, and his foot that won us the wild card game against the Giants in 2006. It's not very often that you see David Akers miss a field goal.
And here's the big picture: he's still one of the best in the game. Let's play 'Take-Your-Pick'.
Who would you rather have? David Akers, or David Buehler?
David Akers or Graham Gano?
David Akers or Ndamukong Suh? (Don't answer that)
So please, guys. It wasn't Akers' best game by a long shot...but come on. It will be a sad day when he retires and we actually have to worry about kicking.

Did any of you guys consider the upcoming stem cell legislation when you were mocking bi-partisanship. The only way to overrride Bush's veto on an issue that the Democratic leadership has identified as one of the most important goals of the 110th Congress is to work with moderate Republicans. Anything who knows anything about legislative history understands that Congress is run by pragmatic deal makers, not knee jerk partisans.

A pretty good batch of articles for your Sunday morning read. Settle in for a relaxing Sunday knowing (most of you) that you still don't have to go back to work tomorrow. I've got some good stuff I've been working on coming up for this week, but in the meantime this should keep you occupied.
Hillsdale WR Andre Holmes not worried by NFL lockout limbo | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "As Andre Holmes sat through seven long rounds of the NFL draft, the Hillsdale receiver heard from a handful of teams making the same pitch: We want you to wear our uniform, but we're out of picks so we hope you'll consider signing with us as a free agent -- whenever that may be."
I saw this over at Seahawks Draft Blog in the commentary of a UDFA post, but thought I'd share it here. Apparently the Seahawks were one of the teams that called. Intriguing.
More on Holmes from SB Nation's Cowboys blog...
Andre Who? Cowboys Schedule Visit With WR Andre Holmes - Blogging The Boys: "The Sporting News says Holmes "jumped off the film" and is a big play threat: Holmes is a tall receiver with explosive quickness and home-run speed who can turn short passes into big plays. He was more consistent in '10, making big plays in key situations. He certainly will be at least a late-round pick, but he could fly up boards in the spring with some standout pre-draft workouts. While Holmes doesn't have elite straight line speed he certainly has an intriguing vertical ability, and his 6.69 three cone drill shows excellent quickness for a player his size. Holmes is the second national draft prospect after Tyron Smith scheduled for a visit at Valley Ranch - that we know about so far."
NFL: Analyzing the top 10 most disappointing trades of the past 25 years - ESPN: An ESPN Insider article but here's what it says about the Seahawks.
"10. Seattle Seahawks trade a 2007 first-round pick (which became Brandon Meriweather) to New England Patriots for Deion Branch Branch was unhappy with his contract situation in 2006; he balked at the three-year contract extension the team offered him, then held out of training camp. When the Patriots coaxed a first-round pick out of the Seahawks just before the season, it appeared to be an all-time swindle. Seattle GM Tim Ruskell, channeling his inner Steinbrenner, signed Branch to a six-year, $39 million contract, only to discover that his prize acquisition was an injury-prone product of the New England system. The Patriots, meanwhile, turned their first-round pick into Meriweather, a two-time Pro Bowler at safety. But before you applaud New England's genius, think back to the 2006 AFC Championship Game loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Reche Caldwell, the team's No. 1 receiver by default, dropped two passes in that game, one of them a screen that practically buried itself in his jersey. In other words, trading Branch might have cost the Patriots another trip to the Super Bowl."

Seattle Seahawks Draft Grades " NFL Mocks | Covering the 2011 NFL Draft & Your #1 NFL Mock Draft Database: A little late to the party but worth a read anyway if you're into draft grades.
Is James Hardy a good catch for Ravens? "The receiver, a former second-round pick, was a bust in Buffalo, but Ozzie Newsome signed him and keeps bringing him up. He made his first appearance in Baltimore this week."
Apparently, since the Ravens drafted WR Tandon Doss and WR Torrey Smith, still have Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason, and several other key veteran special teams contributing WRs, Hardy is unlikely to stick in Baltimore. Chin scratching begins now...
"His physical assets are impressive. He's 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, a potentially inviting red-zone target, and he lopes gracefully across the turf, clearly a superior athlete. He played basketball as well as football at Indiana and caught almost 200 passes in three years before turning pro. But he was a major bust in Buffalo after being picked in the second round of the 2008 draft as the 41st overall selection.
He started off well, grabbing a touchdown in his second game, but rookie seventh-round pick Stevie Johnson soon passed him on the depth chart and Hardy made little news until he suffered a torn ACL late in the 2008 season. It was a severe injury that curtailed his career, as he made only one catch in 2009 and didn't suit up for a game in 2010."
Since Pete Carroll and Seahawk fans in general (read: ME) are suckers for a comeback story, he's a guy to watch.
Breaking down the red zone fade route | National Football Post: Matt Bowen breaks down the fade route. Just thought this was funny because I did a very similar post earlier this week. He's probably better at it than me considering he played in the NFL, so it's worth a read.
Michael Crabtree a no-show for 49ers offseason workouts | ProFootballTalk: "As pointed out by Josh Alper in Saturday's one-liners, 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree has been a no-show for the team's player-organized offseason activities. The usefulness of the player-run workouts is unclear and debatable. Perhaps Crabtree would have nothing to gain from them."
I know this probably doesn't really mean anything but on the outside it makes Crabtree look like a primadonna. Which he is. And if he fails it will be good for the Seahawks so that's what I'm rooting for. For what it's worth, Dave Razzano isn't a fan: @Dave Razzano: Not surprised Crabtree no-show for 49er px's. HUGE mistake to take high on 49ers part. Harbaugh will grow tired of him soon. Not that good.
MAN, I hope you're right Dave.
Mardy Gilyard may have asked Rams for a trade | ProFootballTalk: "On Friday, former Rams assistant head coach Rick Venturi — now a radio co-host for 101 ESPN St. Louis — passed along a "rumor" that Gilyard has asked the Rams to trade him. "Rookie sensation Ram receiver Mardy Gilyard, who didn't show up the other day for the players minicamp … It's rumored that he asked for a trade," Venturi stated. "Are you kidding me? Nobody knows who the hell he is. What would you give up for him? An old, used kicking ball? And a ticket to a fourth-quarter preseason game in the NFL? Mardy Gilyard, you gotta be kidding me."
It does strike me as a bit weird that a guy possibly battling for a roster spot is demanding a trade. Well, hopefully one less weapon for the Rams.
NFL.com news: Ten moves that could shape landscape of 2011 season: More on the Kevin Kolb to Cardinals rumor mill: "Arizona needs to deal for Kevin Kolb By not drafting a quarterback, the Cardinals tipped their hand that they'll be in the trade market for Kevin Kolb or Kyle Orton. However, Kolb should be the guy. Sure, they'll have to probably give up a first- or second-round pick and sign him to a fairly sizeable contract, but Kolb has more Matt Schaub to him than A.J. Feely. While there's talk about the Cardinals looking to move for Marc Bulger, he's at the end of his career (sure, we thought the same thing about Kurt Warner but lightening striking twice?). Though Kolb is unproven, he's a leader and his teammates in Philadelphia followed him and respected him. That's what Arizona needs from its quarterback more than anything."
ProFootballWeekly.com - Kaepernick throws passes at 49ers' player-organized workouts: "The 49ers' QB of the future, Colin Kaepernick, the team's second-round selection in April's draft, threw passes at player-organized workouts Friday, according to a report from The Sacramento Bee."
NFP On Campus | National Football Post: Slick Rick on the hot seat???!
"As we know, Rick Neuheisel occupies one of the hottest coaching seats in America. But barring an absolute disastrous season — 4 wins or less — I'm not sure I see athletic director Dan Guerrero buying out his head coach, especially after the shake-up on the staff this offseason. Would Guerrero want to shell out cash for buyouts, only to try to bring in another big name to right the ship? I would argue that Neuheisel will get two years to turn the program around and make the Bruins a consistent winner. But can he do it? There's certainly no better time than now, as the former Washington head coach has the recruiting edge with Lane Kiffin and the Trojans dealing with their woes."

Join us at Bloody Elbow tonight at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT for live discussion of tonight's opening episode of UFC Primetime for the UFC 146 heavyweight title bout between Junior dos Santos and Frank Mir. It's only been a month since the last Primetime (Jones vs. Evans at UFC 145) and it seems odd that they're doing another one so soon. It makes more sense when you look at the situation though - it was originally supposed to be JDS vs. Alistair Overeem, which was a huge fight. But as we all know, AO can't get licensed so the bout fell to former champion Mir. They had already booked the show, so...this is what we get.
The show will be airing on FX after tonight's episode of TUF Live. Join us and let everyone know what you think.

Verona police ticketed a West Caldwell man after he provided false information following a Nov. 26 traffic stop.
Police said they stopped Steven James Gesumaria just after 10 p.m. and requested his driver's license or registration for the vehicle.
Gesumaria told police he did not have his driver's license or registration but provided the officer with his name and date of birth, which turned out to be false, police said.
The West Caldwell resident was issued several tickets for motor vehicle violations and a complaint for providing false information to a law enforcement officer, police said.

1. Sunday, February 26, 2012 - 11:55 PM
In the first post on CIT Bank, in Oct. 2011, I spoke about CIT Group's bankruptcy and reorganization, from the viewpoint of a CIT Group bondholder. In my comments then, my original bond had been split into 5 bonds with maturities spread from 2013 to 2017, but two had already been called. Since then, one more was called, and the remaining two are scheduled to be called in March 2012. So, it seems that CIT Group's financial health really has improved. The contrast between CIT Group, whose bankruptcy did NOT involve government intervention, and General Motors (whose stock price would have to nearly double in order to pay off the government) is quite interesting.

Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas informed media on Thursday that he would be entering his name into the 2014 race for Arizona governor.
"I'll be focusing on the need to protect public safety, ensure border security, and fight corruption, among other issues," he said in an email.
Thomas was disbarred in April 2012 after being suspected of filing charges against political opponents.
Earlier this week, Democrat Fred Duval also announced his intention to run for governor.

Hi Ashley
This was a correction that needed revising in the Cargo sample files. The changes have now been made and reflected in the zip documents downloadable from the SIS website.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards,
From: DSOUZA ShantiPosted At: March-01-12 7:55 AMPosted To: SIS Forums - Timelines & Mandate DatesConversation: CARGO sandbox testingSubject: CARGO sandbox testing
We downloaded the CARGO sample files from the SIS website.
With reference to the file generated by SIS for the billed member (CIDECT-11720111201.ZIP), we find that the fields "currency of listing" (columns 53-55) and "currency of billing" (columns 56-58) in the invoice header record (SFI 15), do not contain alpha currency codes but numeric ones instead.
On the other hand, the sample file generated by the billing member (CIDECF-0142011120120120201044300.zip), has both these files as alpha characters, as expected. In fact the two files are identical in all aspects except for these two fields. Hence we are conducting our inward billing tests using the CIDECF file.
But we would like to know if the appearance of numeric codes is a mistake or whether the live files will also contain numeric currency codes.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSPutnam Teacher Receives $25,000 To Cover Wedding, Honeymoon Costs
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 28, 2014 4:37 PM EST
POCA, W.Va. (Taisha Walker) -- A Putnam County teacher was in for a big surprise Friday morning -- one that will help her transition into the next phase of her life.
Jessica Musick isn't just a just beloved teacher at Rock Branch Elementary, she is also a bride-to-be. The fifth grade teacher submitted an entry into the "Share Your Love, Win Your Wedding" national sweepstakes to help cut down the financial burden of planning a wedding.
Musick was surprised Friday with the news that she was chosen out of thousands to receive a $25,000 check to cover her wedding and honeymoon costs. Representatives from David's Bridal, elementary students and staff members were present for the big reveal.
The first-year teacher said she is grateful because she and her fiance have been stressing out about wedding costs.
"We're a little tight on money. He actually took a different job to spend more time with me. We've been pretty tight on money. Money isn't everything, but it's good. It's going to go into savings."
Musick said she plans to have a simple wedding in May. She said she will likely keep her wedding plans the same but is considering different honeymoon plans.
David's Bridal also donated a rack of dresses to the elementary school to use as costumes.

Mothers of twins and triplets feel 'abandoned'
A survey by Tamba, the Twins and Multiple Births Association, has found that 22 per cent of mothers who have multiple births felt "abandoned" and struggled to look after more than one baby in postnatal wards.
More than 21 per cent also said they were not sufficiently prepared for the likelihood that one or more of their babies would be premature. This compares with around half who ended up giving birth prematurely.

I think based on how long you've been lifting you don't need to be doin a workout just to get your bench up. You should have a balanced routine. Try an upper/lower 4 day split with hitting the tris heavy on one day and light the other and vice versa on the other upper day. Or you could just hit them equally on both days.
if your looking to increase your bench try a benching cylce once a week, then workout chest lightly on the other day. I do the ed coan one which helped me increase mine 15 or so pounds.
here: http://www.joeskopec.com/edcoanbench.html
Plus with your routine, you are hitting your shoulders hard three times a week in a row. That could lead to injury...the shoulder joints are the number one in sports injury.
Remember you grow OUT of the gym not IN it. That means you need to eat lots and sleep lots. No matter how hard you train, if you are not taking in enough calories you will NOT grow. Your body needs an excess of calories to gain mass. Same with sleep/ rest. If you do not get enough you will quickly enter an overtrained state...and regress, not progress.

At your size and age, I would start with an even more basic routine. You also need to include posterior chain work (hamstrings, lower back, glutes).
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

[leaf-user] Net-snmpd leaks memory Erich Titl Wed Sep 23 00:00:38 2009
Hi Folks More a nuisance than anything else. I was observing a loss of free memory on our systems over time, the culprit appears to be the snmpd process. Googling around revealed I was not alone. It appears that there are a number of fixes in more recent net-snmpd versions which address memory leaks. Right now I just restart the snmpd process daily, but in the long run I will have to address this. cheers Erich

After decades of being open, Acadiana Youth, Inc. had to close one of their three shelters.
The Children's Shelter had served thousands of children in Acadiana over the past 36 years. However the program was unable to continue operations as a result of financial losses and state budget cuts. The shelter was considered an emergency shelter for children who were in a tough situation and needed immediate, short term housing.
Vicki Boudreaux executive director for Acadiana Youth says there is no other facility in Acadiana like it. Which Boudreaux says is the saddest part because now if a local child is in need of housing during an emergency situation, they may have to go outside of Acadiana for help.
Acadiana Youth's mission to provide a safe, loving environment continues on in their two other residential programs, Maison De Mere and STEPS, both focused on providing treatment to adolescent girls.
If you'd like to help keep those two programs up and running please donate by calling 337-237-1320 or visit their website at Thechildrensshelters.org.

Book Description:"If Broadway ever erects a monument to a patron saint of laughter, Neil Simon will have to be it." —Neil Simon This first volume of The Collected Plays of Neil Simon contains the triumphs that put Neil Simon's unique brand of comic genius on the American stage, and made him the most successful playwright of his generation. His mixture of verbal wit and beautifully crafted farce, ethnic humor and insight into universal foible, and above all compassion and understanding, make even his sharpest barbs touch the heart as well as the funny bone. These seven plays, beginning with his unforgettable debut, Come Blow Your Horn, make us laugh uproariously even as we indelibly identify with the objects of our laughter.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - The DNR has some big shoes to fill. The agency's point person on frac sand mining is retiring.
Tom Woletz started with the DNR in 1975. His official title is senior manager or special projects coordinator. In recent years, he's been leading the DNR's oversight of the growing frac sand industry. Wisconsin now has more than 100 frac sand mines and 65 processing plants.
Woletz will leave at the end of the month. WQOW News 18 reached out to the DNR to ask how the position would be filled. There's no word yet from the agency about what it plans to do.

At Berlin Fashion Week, A Few Feathers, A Lot Of Leather-------
Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week began yesterday in the German capital. All week, reporter Hili Perlson will be sending back dispatches from the scene.
Berlin fashion week has a new home this season, a few kilometers away from its former address. That makes it not only the first time that the shows will take place in the former West, but also that it's sharing real estate with the Siegsäule, the nineteenth-century Victory Column that was also ground zero for the legendary Love Parade. The electronica-and-more fest wasn't known for its high fashion cred—it gave rise to more than a few bizarre looks—but it inspired some utterly creative getups in its heyday nevertheless.
Still, the shows at Berlin were more fashion than festival. Escada Sport opened the season with a breezy Spring 2013 collection of light knits and embroidered pieces that mixed a hot summer Cancun getaway with Berlin cool. At the end of the show, it was a lamb leather T-shirt worn with matching pants that had showgoers buzzing.
The contrast to Augustin Teboul's presentation could hardly be starker. The visionary German-French duo showed an all-black collection of sheer fabrics and leather, inspired by Baudelaire's Les fleurs du mal, offsite in a grand West Berlin apartment, where the models were set within cavernous flower arrangements.
Dawid Tomaszewski took things in a more avant-garde direction, sending alienlike models down the runway wearing futuristic jackets and laser-cut dresses made of high-tech materials, styled with feathers held in place by a mouthpiece (pictured, right). The collection of gravity-defying tops and rubber leggings was aptly entitled Metamorphosis and was inspired by the landscape of Portugal, though save for the Fado soundtrack, the collection evoked Asia Minor more than Iberian Peninsula.
Kaviar Gauche, one of the city's strongest brands, closed out the first day, showing its signature ultra-feminine and always wearable looks, this time in shades of yellow, mustard, ocher, and black (pictured, left).
Color War: Jonathan Saunders Comes On Strong At Escada Sport-------
Jonathan Saunders was in town last week to show his own Resort collection (and host a little get-together at the Bowery), but I caught up with him at Escada, where he debuted the capsule collection he designed for Escada Sport Resort. Saunders brought a splash of color—to say the least—to the German label's friendly-priced diffusion label. The color-blocking that made up much of his namesake collection's recent offerings reappears here, with pegged trousers and trenches in electric blue, blue and green paneled minidresses and pleated skirts, and a print that's literally color-blocked—that is to say, of colored blocks. Accessories, including totes, belts, and trompe l'oeil wedges with graphic "heels," pick up the theme. My personal favorite motif was a blown-out houndstooth print, which was shown in a contrast silk blouse and skirt look (left). Saunders spoke of bringing a new, younger customer to Escada's stores and to Lord & Taylor, where the collection will bow. As of now, he's slated to start with Resort and potentially move on to pre-fall, but if he draws crowds—and I wouldn't be surprised—I bet the label will court him for Fall and Spring, too.

Gruppo di lettura del nuovo romanzo di G.R.R. Martin 'A Dance With Dragons'.
Condividiamo le gioie e i dolori della lettura in lingua originale.
[in attesa dell'uscita del libro, prevista per il 12 luglio 2011]
In the east, Daenerys, last scion of House Targaryen, her dragons grown to terrifying maturity, rules as queen of a city built on dust and death, beset by enemies.
Now that her whereabouts are known many are seeking Daenerys and her dragons. Among them the dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, who has escaped King's Landing with a price on his head, wrongfully condemned to death for the murder of his nephew, King Joffrey. But not before killing his hated father, Lord Tywin.
To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, but he has enemies both in the Watch and beyond the Wall, where the wildling armies are massing for an assault.
On all sides bitter conflicts are reigniting, played out by a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves. The tides of destiny will inevitably lead to the greatest dance of all…Join this group?

Elizabethtown Police Charge Man with Felony Forgery
A bank teller in Elizabethtown helped catch a forgery suspect in the act. Back in March, Elizabethtown Police responded to the Sovereign Bank on South Market Street for a forgery in progress.
Police arrived at the scene and learned that 49-year old Leonard McLean had forged a commercial check from a car dealership in Montoursville, changing it to be made payable to himself. The check was valued at $1,813.07 but the teller's experience and training alerted her to the possibility that the check was forged.
After investigating, police learned that McLean had committed forgery in York County shortly before the incident and successfully took more than $1,000 in cash. Elizabethtown Police and Springettsbury Township Police worked together on the investigation and McLean faces two charges of second degree felony Forgeries that could land him up to 20 years in prison.
Officers also discovered that McLean was wanted in Virginia on similar charges. He is being held in Baltimore County, Maryland while a preliminary hearing is pending.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

2.81/5 rDev -24.7%
16.9oz : tulip
Clear, golden orange with a thick, foamy white head with nice retention and leaves great lacing.
Really surprised by the rather subdued hop profile. Some floral, grassy hop notes, but that is about it. A grainy, biscuit malt backing.
More grassy, floral, leafy hop notes, with the same grainy, biscuit malt backing. Bitter finish.
Medium body, with light, bubbly carbonation.
Not an unpleasant beer, but I was disappointed with the rather weak hop profile.

First tasted at the Concordia XX IPA fest. Followed up with a pint at the brewery. This IPA incorporates a Belgian yeast strain giving it a rich fruity character and mildly sour mouthfeel.
Appearance: Pale corn color with attractive lacing.
Aroma: Massive gin like juniper berries and branches, grape seed oil, rum, touches of grapefruit.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Acrid, mildly sour in a Berliner Weise meets IPA sort of way. Burning Alcohol and hop presence. Very bitter. Loads of juniper/pine flavor highlighted nicely by a generic, Belgian Pale sort of light fruitiness. Grapes and citrus. Medium bodied and oily.
Drinkability: Outstanding. This is quite hoppy and a touch strong but it remains nearly sessionable for me.
Simply exceptional.

Clear shimmering gold with a touch of haze and a sturdy white foam floating on top.
Aromas of cut hay, drought grasses, pine, and honey. This, though is far drier than one might expect.
Again, quite dry through the mouth. Hay and saltine crackers lay the malt base and are quickly tossed aside. Hops blast in with dried flowers, wilted prairie grasses, and a touch of evergreen. It's all sorts of bitter, but lacks a stand-up counterpart to balance it and take it to the next level.
Medium bodied with a steady, rushing CO2. It's build as a drinker, despite its elevated ABV. Its strength is not noticed at all.
While the bitterness it rotund, the overall impression is unlike most PacNW hop bombs I've had. I've give it some credit for that, but it lacks depth and balance over the long haul. Still, a good quaff.

on-tap, the Dray
appearance: served in a shaker pint, glowing copper body, standard light beige foam head
smell: fresh nw hops - not "lava" levels though...munich malts definitely noticeable on the nose
taste: you come to expect a certain level of over-the-topness from NW IPA's especially those called "Hop Lava" - instead this beer provides a very balanced bill....biscuity munich and pilsner malts, bread, citrus, light pine.
mouthfeel: medium, crisp
overall: a good IPA, but not at the top of the NW pack

On tap @ the Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom (Hood River, OR) on 8/28/11. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a hazed copper initially (which does clear out a bit after a while), topped with a ½ finger of bright-white head. This retains with about roughly a ¼ finger of thin foaminess, throwing up a robust cascade of frothy lacing that clings to the sides in rich swathes. The aroma smells leafy and a little herbal, with notes of bitter fruit underneath. The malts have a sweet grainy feel to them along the edges of the nose. I'm honestly not getting a whole lot of complexity at all out of this. Just some flat and green feeling bitterness, along with some residual sweetness. This is bit disappointing.
Bitter fruit and pine spread a resinous and pithy bitterness out into the mouth. There is a general feeling sweet balancing effect here from the malts but the hoppy finish on this is strong, with pith, pine, and spice all sticking a bit too harshly on the palate. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a lively crispness that quickly gives way to a creamy and much smoother feel. I will say that the alcohol is nicely hid here, which helps out the overall feel here a lot.
Wow, I was expecting so much more from this. There just really wasn't much complexity, definition, or most of all robustness to the hop profile and even the malts didn't bring much to this beyond a neutral feeling sweetness. This was just a flat feeling IPA. The look and feel are the only factors keeping this in the game at all. So underwhelming….

Appearance: orange. Hazy. Thin head. Lots o' lace.
Smell: grainy. Not a lot of aroma on the hops.
Taste: malts are predominantly two row. Grainy. Hops are perfume up front and a big pine tar bitter that lingers.
Mouthfeel: medium carbonation. Lots o bitter. Medium body. Think Megan fox.
Overall: pretty good. Not my fave. Malts are basic. Not a lot of aroma. Very bitter.

Finally able to get in there during nice early summer hours to try this brew. Tried to get at the Gresham Old Chicago... and they were tapped out...
- Nice super clear caramel color... bubbly white head quickly down to some even spots of fizz... small ring of lace.
- Rather light floral hop aroma.. light pine, citrus fruit... thin caramel.... sweetness, and grain.
- Very robust and flavorful IPA... bitter pine, chewy grain, robust floral and citrus hops... super fresh.. a very good IPA. Nice light alcohol and grainy caramel malt melds perfectly with the hug hop variety.
- Chewy... bitter dry bite, and light bodied.... all makes for what an IPA should be really.
- Overall one of the better IPA's I have had... certainly a winner... and one to order again.

Served pale amber with a modest head and fair amount of lacings. Aroma is earthy floral hops. Taste is bitter earthy leathery hops. Good amount of malts help balance the bitterness. With so many good American IPAs available it is hard to single out something special in most of them. This one did have a bit more interesting hop richness than many but that may be due to the fresh from the keg experience. I certainly will order some Hop Lava when in the mood for a tasty IPA.

Sturdy 500 ml bottle picked up at Brewforia Meridian last week... Paid a pricey $5ish for the opportunity... Poured tonight into my Funk Fest goblet... 2 finger white head last quite a while.. decent lacing... the brew is hazy golden.
Nose is big floral hoppiness with a pungent pithy citrus zest element too.... definitely some toasty maltiness to help balance, but not too malty really.
Good bitterness that moves from front to back and is balanced nicely by the above mentioned toastiness and a resinous citrus hoppiness.
light/medium carbonation.. but the body is pretty light given the residual maltiness... honestly pretty darn drinkable...
Good beer... Too expensive though... Way too expensive.

Poured into a Black Raven pint glass. Pours a light to medium orange amber. Half finger off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine hops with an unusual orange citrus component, interesting. Flavor is sweet malt, juicy citrus, citrus hops with a light citrus hop finish. Well integrated and not very hop forward. Nicely integrated hops and malt, but could use a bit more forceful hops. Light to medium bodied. A pleasant and fun to drink take on a IPA.

Had this most recently on-tap at Firehouse Restaurant in NE Portland.
a. slightly hazy under-ripe orange, near grapefruit, in color. Fairly thin cream-colored head of fine bubbles with subtle but powerful lacing.
s. Fruity grapefruit hop aromas balance well with juniper, anise, pine tar, and pure NW hop bitterness. Floral aromas are minimal which is a nice change from many strong NW aIPAs. As it warms, a bit of maltiness comes forward with some almost rye-bread notes.
t. Incase the aroma didn't give it all away, the taste is overwhelmingly hoppy - in the best way possible. Grapefruit and apple hop notes battle strongly with pine resin right off the bat, and keep fighting throughout the beer. It leaves a strong pine tar resin on the tongue, keeping the bitterness at the forefront, but a strong warming malt keeps the hops from overpowering.
m. Creamy and smooth. Almost dangerously so. Finishing a sip makes my mouth feel empty and craving more. The pine oils are perfectly balanced - I don't feel like I'm drowning in bitterness, but it's delightfully present. It's light and crisp, while also having a pleasant creaminess. I don't know how they pull it off, while staying away from the viscous syrup that some stronger IPAs fall victim to.
d. Every time I've had this, it's hard to think about any other beer. And I have to remind myself that I can't keep drinking it all night - because for some reason, I'm compelled to drink more of this one. It pulls at my palette more than almost any other IPA.
One the whole, it's a beautiful IPA. The malt presence is strong, but the pure hops are much stronger. Definitely tastes like a strong NW IPA with fruit and pine hop flavors. After having it several different times, Hop Lava is definitely one of my top choices when it comes to IPAs. Definitely worth seeking out.

Sunday 21st June 9pm & Monday 22nd June 7.30pm
One summers evening in the heart of rural/industrial Soviet Union, a group of student's party in their shabby cramped digs with only a bottle of Havana Club Rum between them. Two alienated figures, Peter and Susanna, sit as silent witnesses to the mayhem of song and dance as the rum in the bottle dwindles and the temperature rises. Uncomfortable truths are unleashed and everyone escapes for the romance of the coast leaving them alone to confront the overwhelming desire that has grown in the silence between them. Peter lays open his heart but when it's her turn, Susanna runs scared and the promise of a great love story is lost to the screeching of gulls outside.
Twenty years later in a multimillion Moscow apartment, Peter, now an ailing rock star, struggles to save his childless marriage to Olga, the daughter of a rich oligarch, under the intrusive gaze of the gutter press. Susanna has inherited a coffee house and runs it with her son Ivan and her husband Arthur, a remarkable opportunist and impresario who's conducting an affair with Olga. A strike of the security guards at the apartment leaves Peter vulnerable to the outside world as a series of unexpected callers turn up on his doorstep and change his life forever.
With a laconic audacity and great skill N.N. Rakshin has created a story which sweeps across the transition between Communist and free market Russia; taking in major themes from the great tradition of 19th Century Russian literature in it's wake-free will and destiny, passionate, vain and spiritual loves, the raging tri-partite conflict between the soul, rationality and the heart-all in an odd elegiac and grammatically anarchic vernacular his own.

Anybody else having an issue with (old) Tweetdeck and Twitter credentials?—
Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 07, 2012
TweetDeck users, it's not just you. Many users of the popular Twitter client (including several of us at Twitchy) are reporting that the application is telling them, sometimes over and over, that their Twitter credentials have changed and they need to re-enter their passwords. Others report missing columns once their password is eventually accepted.
@TweetDeck I'm getting messages that my credentials have changed/my access token has been revoked/my password has changed. What's going on?—
Miss Crankypants (@PaleGirlSquad) December 08, 2012
Anyone else using tweetdeck getting requests for 'new password'?—
Linda Salter (@sagedoc) December 08, 2012
I just got a weird popup on Tweetdeck and I am not sure if its a scam. Saying my access token revoked and to type my password—
Opinionated Catholic (@Opinionatedcath) December 07, 2012
Has anyone been prompted inside Tweetdeck w/ message that your 'credentials have been revoked' before?—
Dos Mas Cervezas (@DosMasCervezas) December 07, 2012
@BibleCat @UpInTheHills @DudgeOHPolitics Thanks. TweetDeck suddenly started telling me my token had been recycled or password changed.—

John Philips Nufable (@nufable_jp) December 08, 2012
This is the latest tweet from TweetDeck, so there's no official word of a fix from the developers yet.
We've just updated our Web & Chrome apps, mainly bug fixes but also hit 'a' to add a new column. Please restart/refresh browser to update.—

Some say that the problem eventually clears itself up.

Twitchy will keep monitoring for a definitive fix, but for now, our best advice is to be patient and know that it's not just you.
Many TweetDeck users are still experiencing frustration on Saturday morning.

8/21-24: Harold Lloyd in The Freshman, Filth, Dormant Beauty & more!
Seven Cleveland Institute of Art students and two Case Western Reserve University School of Engineering students rose to a 21st century challenge: design wearable technology that incorporates light for a strong visual impact before a live audience. The creators will present these items of fashion, concept and functionality at IN THE DARK, a wearable-technology-with-light competition that has its final scheduled public showing at the Great Lakes Science Center's "Yuri's Night Space Party" on April 12:
10-10:15pm: Awards CEREMONY, with NASA astronaut and shuttle pilot, Greg Johnson, on the Discover Stage, NASA Glenn Visitor Center, Level 1
Since October, students have been working on their unique and innovative wearable technologies that include light. In January, the works premiered at MOCA Cleveland; in February, students showed their work at Brite Winter festival; and in March at Cleveland's Mini Maker Faire.
As part of the design process, the entries have been revised and further refined for each successive venue, with final judging for the awards competition taking place at the Science Center. Each venue has also included the opportunity for visitors/viewers to participate in a crowd favorite selection process, the results of which will be considered in the final judging process.
IN THE DARK is a program of the Cleveland Institute of Art's Cores + Connections CIA's academic commitment to student engagement in community-based learning, real-world projects, and social practices. For more info., visit http://www.cia.edu/academics/curriculum/cores--connections.

Ok, I'll tell you a story about being the older guy running. I'm in great shape (just got my BQ in early September, yes, I'm running it next April), last summer I was at a track doing controlled intervals, running in lane 8 (I have a garmin), these 2 guys and a girl walk onto the track, the one guy starts running in lane 1, I noticed when I became even with him he would speed up to stay ahead (keep in mind I'm in lane 8, he's in lane 1), I was doing long 3 mile intervals, after about 2 laps he was really wheezing, but staying even with me, the ornery part of me thought "I speed up 5-10 seconds/mile I'll run him into the ground!", but I didn't do it. He lasted another lap and started walking, I thought it was hilarious!
Boston 4:29:13
Wait, you ran ERIE?!! A bunch of us Loopsters were there... if you're running it next year, meet up with us! It's about 45 minutes from my house...
And big congrats on the BQ!
Actually we own a cottage in western NY (near Westfield), I plan on doing the 1/2M there next year. Thanks for the congrats.
Kids....like they can compete with us older, more experienced runners.
Congrats on the BQ!
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Great, I will definitely be doing either the half or full there!
Oh, young kids and their dreams. Very funny.
I'm in the USAF and we have our PT test. As a squadron commander I try to set not only an example, but a standard. The run times vary based on age for our official test. I ran my PT test one year and my troops informed me that "sir, your score was based on your age group stats. We could do that too if we had the age curve." So I challenged them to a PT test based on their age criteria. While I couldn't beat them all, I did beat most of my troops. They were scratching their heads at how "the old man" could pull a 1.5 mile run that was so much faster than theirs. Ahhhh, vendication!
Yes, it was a nice race, all the runners around me were serious about going to Boston, almost professional, I was impressed; the course was flat and fast, lots of water stops and bathrooms, and the weather was in the 50s, all the makings of a PR, that's for sure!
It was!! Loved it. I PRed by over 5 minutes from my half in June, and two others with our group BQed. It sounds as if more Loopsters might show up next year.
Agreed! It all depends on the weather (that's a crap shoot), I was worried earlier in the summer about heat, then a week before rain, it was meant to be! My previous PR was 3:57 (at the Flying Pig, a hilly course with temps close to 70 the last hour), but at the 1/2M point I was under target (8:12 pace) and knew I had plenty left. The downhill with a couple of miles left was really nice.
So just out of curiosity (and if it's not too personal a question) how old are you? Sorry...it's my competitive side coming out!
Rock on and keep on running.....

Oilers struggling may see them miss the playoffs again if further movements are not initiated.
I have noticed that the Oilers are really struggling without Souray in the lineup, more than anyone else that is out. However, they are missing some bangers and crashers that are needed in the highest degree. IN order to turn this team around I do believe player personnel has to be changed in order to get new vision as this one is not working. Without any question size is really absent on this team. This can cause a lot of havoc when they play teams who are physical against us.
Big Steve MacI must be on his way out. Not playing him, to me, is not doing anything but leaving the rest of the team vulnerable for others to take their liberties with them like they did before they got him here. If they are not going to play him I would like them to bring up Kip Brennan from Springfield to play because he is a heavyweight, and a pretty good skater to go with it.
Any comments on these thoughts?

Ridgeland stuns Marist to clinch first state final appearance
ROSSVILLE, Ga. (WRCB) -- Daniel Johnson did not win the national Wendy's High School Heisman award Friday night.
In fact, the Ridgeland senior didn't even get to join the other eleven finalists in New York for the ceremony.
It doesn't bother him one bit.
Johnson is making plans for a different once-in-a-lifetime trip after Ridgeland used a blocked extra point and a trick play to stun visiting Marist 28-27 in the Class AAAA state semifinals and clinch its first-ever state championship game appearance.
"We knew it was going to be tough, but our kids just would not give up," said head coach Mark Mariakis. "They never panic, and that's made me so proud of these kids all season long. There's just something special about those guys.
"To come out and beat a good Marist team like this... I'm just speechless."
The Panthers (13-1) will play top-ranked and unbeaten Sandy Creek (14-0) at the Georgia Dome at 5:30 p.m. ET in next Saturday's state final at the Georgia Dome. Sandy Creek shut out Monroe Area 35-0 in the other semifinal.
Darrell Bridges, who'd been doing most of Ridgeland's heavy lifting on the ground this season, threw a pair of touchdown passes from his fullback spot, including the eventual game-winner to Shaqualm McCoy with 36 seconds to play.
"This is so unbelievable," Bridges said. "We've never been past the second round. Now to go to state? Oh man. We need to come away with a win and get us a ring this year.
"This is something you dream about as a freshman, watching other high schools going and playing for this. Now we're in that position, and we need to go and win a state championship."
The War Eagles drove to the Ridgeland 17-yard-line in the closing seconds, but Fletcher Malloy's 34-yard field goal attempt bounced off the upright and missed as time expired.
Just three minutes earlier, Marist quarterback Myles Willis broke a 21-all tie with a 26-yard touchdown run. However, Malloy's PAT was blocked by the Panthers to keep the score at 27-21.
Bridges added two touchdown runs, including an electric, game-changing 89-yard explosion to tie the game at 21-all early in the fourth, and finished with 164 yards rushing and 107 passing.
Vonn Bell finished with 127 total yards and caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from Bridges for Ridgeland's second score of the game.
"I'm on top of the world right now," said Bell, who played in front of a crowd of recruiters that included Alabama linebackers coach Lance Thompson. " We've been the underdog all year. We wanted to shock this world and shock this state, prove to everyone that Ridgeland plays some football up here and has some talent to show it."
Calhoun holds off Lamar County to earn fifth state title trip
CALHOUN, Ga. (WRCB) -- Donnell Anthony's interception in the end zone on the game's final play sealed Calhoun's 21-14 win over visiting Lamar County to send the Yellow Jackets back to the Class AA state championship game for a fifth straight year.
The defending champs will play Jefferson (13-1) at 2:30 p.m. ET next Saturday at the Georgia Dome. Jefferson blasted Greater Atlanta Christian 42-14 in Friday's other semifinal.
Alex Urbano rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns to offset quarterback Taylor Lamb's career-low 64 passing yards. Lamb did add 83 yards rushing and the game's first score on a one-yard sneak in the first quarter.
Calhoun fumbled six times, but lost only one. The defense repeatedly came up with big stops to help an offense that, despite being one of the most explosive in the state all season, was shut out in the second half.
Anthony actually made two game-saving plays in the closing moments, knocking down a pass to the end zone on a Lamar County trick play before snagging the game-clinching interception as time expired.

RUGBY LEAGUE: Benson still upbeat
6:00am Thursday 13th March 2014 in Rugby League
OXFORD Rugby League head coach Tony Benson says there were still positive signs in their 47-28 defeat at Gateshead Thunder.
Oxford were sunk by a poor 13-minute spell in the Kingstone Press Championship 1 clash.
But Benson remains optimistic ahead of Sunday's Tetley's Challenge Cup third round match at Hunslet Hawks.
Benson (pictured) said: "I was very encouraged with what I saw though, and if we can maintain this for the whole game we will be hard to beat.
"The players are improving week on week and I am expecting a reaction next week."

Food Service Companies Must Register for Summer Food Program
Posted: January 27, 1999
All food service management companies wishing to contract with sponsors of the Summer Food Service Program for the purpose of providing meals in accordance with federal regulations must first register with the West Virginia Department of Education, according to State Superintendent Dr. Henry Marockie.
The Summer Food Service Program for Children, through grants-in-aid and other means, assists West Virginia and other states to initiate, maintain and expand nonprofit food service programs for children during the summer months.
The program is designed to fill the void created by summer vacation and the subsequent termination of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for those children who rely on school food service for adequate nutrition.
Any sponsor of the program is permitted to contract through a bidding procedure with a food service management company to operate its entire food service or for the preparation of meals to be served under this program. However, current regulations require that all food service management companies register with the state as a prerequisite to participating in any program within the state in 1999. Registration will be revoked if a food service management company does not follow the proper bidding procedure.
For information about the program and/or application for registration, companies should contact the
West Virginia Department of Education, Office of Child Nutrition, Building 6, Room 248, 1900 Kanawha Boulevard East, Charleston, WV 25305-0330 or phone 304-558-2708.
The West Virginia Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are equal opportunity providers and employers.

In Ben Lewin's film "The Sessions," opening today, John Hawkes portrays Mark O'Brien, a journalist and poet who contracted polio as a child and spent most of his life in an iron lung. This is one of several memorable roles in independent films that Mr. Hawkes has taken on in recent years. In the above video, he discusses the challenges of a role that requires a restricted amount of movement. A review of "The Sessions" can be read here.
