News: Eminem Marches Back To The Top, "MMLP 2" Sales Crush Lady Gaga At No. 1
Wednesday, Nov 27, 2013 4:05PM
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem is back to being a music god after The Marshall Mathers LP 2 managed to pass Lady Gaga as the number one album in the country this week.
According to reports, Slim Shady's latest solo offering pushed out 120,000 copies in its third week on store shelves.
Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" returns to the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200, shifting 120,000 copies in its third week (down 43%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the second week at the top for the set, which stepped aside last week to let Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" open atop the list. This week, "ARTPOP" moves to No. 8 with 46,000 (down 82%). It's the third No. 1 debut this year to decline by 80% in its second frame, following Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (2 of 2) (down 80.1%) and Kanye West's "Yeezus" (down 80.3%). It's become more common to see No. 1 debuts dip by more than 75% in their second week, as increased focus is placed on first-week sales and pre-orders. (Billboard)
Based on weekend estimates, Slim Shady's newest offering was expected to once again reign atop the chart.
YOUR TOP 15 (PLUS ONE): Eminem returns to #1 next week, but it will be a brief stay--One Direction hits the street on Monday. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend: Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 120-125k *Five Finger Death Punch (Prospect Park) 75-80k Now 48 (UMe) 65-70k *Hunger Games (Republic) 55-60k *Daughtry (19/RCA) 55-60k The Robertsons (EMI Nashville) 55-60k Lady Gaga (Interscope) 50-55k *Yo Gotti (RCA) 40-45k (HITS Daily Double)
A few days ago, Em's new LP reached platinum status after only two weeks in stores.
Eminem's new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 has achieved certified platinum status just two weeks after its release, according to Billboard. The 40-year-old secured 792k sales in its debut week, which made the climb to 1 million records sold relatively easy this week. The MMLP2 track "Berzerk" snagged platinum honors back in October and "The Monster" featuring Rihanna looks to be headed to similar success. The duo previously hit 11-times platinum status with their track "Love the Way You Lie." Despite posting the second-highest first week sales of 2013, Em's album was knocked out of the top spot this week by Lady Gaga's new release, ARTPOP. (Design N Trend)
A few years ago, Em downplayed the importance of selling millions of albums.
"I don't think I've actually stopped to think about it," Eminem said referencing being named artist of the decade. "I never thought that my life would amount to this. But to be able to sit back and digest it is so strange to me, because I still feel so regular. I don't understand what people think the big deal is about me. It's a very strange relationship that I have with fame...Honestly, as long as people enjoy the music, that means the most to me. I could sell 80 million records in the first week, and if my peers or fans of real hip-hop didn't like it, it really wouldn't mean anything." (Rap Radar)

The sketch from My Time Made Easy, MTMEPPS06, was a classic and just screamed at me to use My Time Made Easy's Singing Silhouette and Argyle Amazement.
I used a punch of black with the border die, I thought it mimicked the circles on the bird cage.

You don't have to respond here. I know you are living up to your word and everything...
But I have to ask:
Is Memphis still on your list to finish 6th in the West?
Will Houston pull it together to win the championship or at least make the playoffs?
How about that Webster kid? We homers are enjoying him starting to look like he belongs in the NBA. You still think he will never pan out?
No animosity here, just wondering how your "book" is working out this season. I hope all is well.

Koschak Home Office
October 2009 This is a testimonial not only to the beautiful, extremely high quality furniture that Custom Shoppe Furniture makes, but to the fantastic people who work at the company. Earlier this year, I placed an order for a 3-piece home office set with a furniture store that filed bankruptcy prior to my order being completed. Luckily the 3-piece home office set was made by Custom Shoppe Furniture.
I called the phone number on the Custom Shoppe Furniture website to speak with a live person, and got John Williams, the West Coast sales representative. After explaining my situation, John gave me a phone number and asked me to call and speak with Frank Krejci, the president of the company, to see if he could help. A couple of days later, I called the number and left a message on Mr. Krejci's phone, and was totally amazed to hear from him about 30 minutes later. He actually found the original order that was placed by the furniture store, but also explained that the order was on hold and had not been started. Mr. Krejci then inquired about the balance. To my complete surprise he said that he would complete the order for the balance owed plus a nominal shipping fee – he would have it delivered, and set up – "white glove service" he called it. This totally surprised me, because I knew that he was certainly not making any money by completing the order and may have actually lost money by helping me out. Mr. Krejci's act of kindness, especially during these tough economic times, will never be forgotten.
Additionally, every single Custom Shoppe Furniture employee (Kelly Zastrow, Kurt, and Brian) that I worked with during the completion and delivery of my order were caring and pleasant. My home office is absolutely beautiful and the 3 pieces fit together perfectly and I do mean perfect. I love it! Thank you Mr. Krejci, and every single employee of Custom Shoppe Furniture who helped with the logistics, building, and delivery.
You are truly the best! Sincerely, Lori Koschak

The BYD Qin Hybrid is an entirely new hybrid from the makers of the original BYD F3 DM, the Qin was aired in concept form at the Beijing Auto Show in April where it was well received by media and consumers, however the real focus of that auto show was on the Su Rui sedan, the donor vehicle for the Qin's electric hybrid engine. The F3DM was criticized heavily for having outlandish stats when compared to the best selling Toyota Prius, F3DM offered comparable output to the original Prius but at roughly 20,000USD. The next generation Qin Hybrid mixes BYD's new 1.5T engine with a second generation electric power train to give an impressive 316BHP and 440Nm of torque paired with BYD's own Dual Clutch Gearbox.
The Qin will come in two flavors, a Plug in and also as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle, 0-100kph is rumored to be circa 6.9 seconds which seems relatively slow for a car with so much torque but perhaps garage tinkers will be able to adjust that when it hits the market in the first half of 2013. Pricing is expected to be around 200,000RMB when launched. If BYD can deliver on quality, pricing and expectations this might just be the car to get China into green motoring.

Greetings from Robert Gray!
The land of the blue and gold Explorers has been a busy place with the start of school! After a well-received "Meet the Teachers" event, school began as it usually does…….returning students excited to reconnect with friends and teachers while new students navigated their new waters with just a bit of apprehension! We welcomed our full day kindergarteners who came in like they were up for the challenge. All indications are that they have made a smooth transition from home and pre-school. In our opening all school assembly, we took time to introduce all the staff, and the "kinders" sat up front with eyes as big as saucers while they practiced sitting "crisscross applesauce" and attending! After singing the school song, we could all feel the energy that 490 students create with a talented staff all cheering for the year ahead in the final "Boomalacka" cheer. Welcome to '13-14.
As many of you have heard, though we anticipated a smaller enrollment here this year, our numbers grew when we registered new students. This prompted the District to provide additional staff in some critical areas, and we are in the process of making those additions that will reduce the class size and provide for the best of learning environments. In addition to some added classroom sections, we are truly grateful for some other staff increases in the library and counselor positions. Did you know that we now have a full time librarian and a full time counselor? Tracy Robinson will be focusing all of her energies in our library, and Jill Whitright, a counselor from Cascade, has joined us in the office. We are grateful to our school board for their support of these positions that will support all students.
In the course of the summer, we had much work done on our field adjacent to the playground that is used each day. The District improved the drainage, leveled the field, and planted new turf that enjoyed the summer sun and the most recent September rains. In addition, an improved kindergarten playground was completed by extending the area for students and gating the entire playground to create a safe environment close to the kindergarten classrooms. Now that the District has completed their work, our PTO can continue to support these areas with improved equipment for kids. What a change this collaborative effort has created in the past 2 years. Our kudos go to Molly Brown, PTO chair of the Playground Committee for the effort and accomplishment.
In the first weeks of school, we are refining our school improvement plans, and these will be posted to our site when they are complete. We continue our focus on improving student achievement, and I look forward to sharing these indicators to you soon.
Welcome to Robert Gray. We are glad you are here working with us to create student success. If we are all about teaching and learning, you know that your play an incredibly important role in the process. To those among you who are new, get connected and involved. To those who are returning for another year, STAY connected and involved!
Go Explorers!
Bruce Holway

It seems Carnival is focusing more in attracting the ages under 30 group because my cruise is not only is the "fun ship" it's a party ship where the entertainment were mostly DJ spinning the top 40s and pushing drinks.
Unlike other cruise directors and entertainment staff of cruises I been on (I been on 20 plus cruises with different cruise lines along with Carnival) this cruise director Josh and his staff gave me the impression that they do not enjoy what they do and didn't want to be there. That's not to say the wait staff and cabin stewards are not wonderful as usual.
The cabin is really small for the 3 of us and there was only one electrical outlet in the cabin, there is another one in the bathroom but it's so high up and hidden that we couldn't reach it. In hind sign I should've reserved 3 cabins (there were 6 of us) since there were no discount for the 3rd passenger because it was a holiday cruise (12/18 – 1/2). We also have to ask the cabin steward to come in to vacuum the floor and clean some un-identify object off the phone core.
Without sounding like a cruise snob, it seems Carnival feels they can cut back on quality and services by catering to the younger and less experience group. The food was media-core, the Omelet line in the morning and the Mongolia Wok in the afternoon are at least 20 minutes wait. Even though signs were posted on the Lido deck dinning room door regarding bathing suits, no one was there to enforce it. There was no shortage of people wandering around in the Lido Deck restaurant either in their bathing suits or bathrobes, bare feet and using their fingers instead of tongs provided.
Maybe I'm just too old for the "fun ship".

The Ohio Department of Transportation says its employees are working hard to keep the roads in Northwest Ohio clear.
More than 100 plow trucks are on the road and crews have worked 12-hour shifts for seven days in a row.
Right now ODOT plans on having crews work around the clock through Wednesday.
The focus is on the expressways and state routes. They say they are making headway, but high winds and dropping temperatures are presenting challenges.
Spokesperson Theresa Pollick says they plan to focus on plowing. "The plan is to keep plowing and we won't salt because we're worried about freezing. It's better to drive on the snow than the ice."
ODOT asks that drivers make room for the plows.

Harvey Murray Glatman: First of the Signature Killers
Phantom Delights
Harvey Glatman served eight months of his twelve-month sentence before being paroled from Colorado's state prison. He walked out the gates on July 27, 1946. One of the first things his mother did was bring him to a psychiatrist as a means to ward off further rash acts such as the ones that sent her boy to the calaboose. The doctor recommended that Harvey's problem was based on his abnormal fear of the opposite sex. Solution? That Harvey begin activities, such as dancing, that set him right in the midst of women to squelch that fear.
Harvey listened well. He returned to his native New York state and partook of many activities that involved women however, not the kind that the good professional had in mind.
It had been mother Ophelia's wish that Harvey leave Denver because of the black mark on him there. She earnestly believed that he could get a fresh start in a new climate among new faces; meet friendly people, get a job and make something of himself. Leaving Albert at home for a few weeks, Ophelia escorted her son to and set him up in a tidy little flat in Yonkers. She even stood by as he got a job in a television repair store. He had learned the trade in prison workshop and could now put that knowledge to good use, she told him.
Convinced that Harvey was on his way to a normal life, Ophelia returned to Denver.
As for Harvey, once mama was gone, he set out to the streets in search of excitement. Not taking the chance to try to procure a gun possession of one would send him back to prison for a long, long time he instead bought a cap gun from a five-and-dime that he thought looked authentic enough to pass for real. The pocket-knife he carried, though, was not a toy. And the rope, of course, too, that was the best-made hemp, guaranteed not to slip:
There was no imitating the embracing powers of real hemp.
Around midnight of August 17, 1946, lovers Thomas Staro and Doris Thorn were approached by a man they later described as being a bit shorter than six feet, 140 pounds, with messy hair, horn-rim glasses, large ears and pock-marked. The stranger, brandishing a pistol, ordered the couple off the sidewalk and into the darkness under a grove of trees. Removing Staro's wallet from his trousers, he tied his legs together and made him lie on the lawn. Turning to Thorn, he began touching her breasts, keeping her in place and quiet with the threat of the gun barrel at her abdomen. Immersed in the wonders of womanhood, Harvey failed to see that the boyfriend had worked himself free from the sloppily tied knot and was tip-toeing from behind.
Staro grabbed Harvey, but the latter wiggled free from his grasp, simultaneously producing his pocket-knife. With a slash, he caught Staro's shoulder, a cut that even though not lethal sent the other recoiling in terror. Harvey escaped into the umbrage.
He didn't stop running until he was safe on the first train to Albany.
Denver, Yonkers, Albany, it was all the same to Harvey Glatman. The place didn't matter, as long as it had women to caress. Renting a flat in his new town, he spent the next couple of days scouring the neighborhood around his flat on Commercial Street in preparation for more adventure. By August 22nd, he was ready.
His first target in Albany was off-duty nurse Florence Hayden. Coming up behind her from the darkness of Main Avenue, he grabbed her purse straps and shoved her into an adjacent yard. Jostling her, he dug his gun barrel into her side and demanded that she remain quiet while he bound her wrists together. But, as she told police later, "I realized he was using both his hands (to tie the rope) and no longer held the gun. So I wheeled around, pushed him hard, and screamed but loud."
The mugger absconded, Hayden said, more frightened than she.
Not discouraged by his latest run of bad luck, Harvey determined to succeed when he took a stroll along Hollywood Avenue the following evening. For a while, the cupboard looked bare as every woman he saw was with a male companion and he had had enough with scrapping with muscular males after that Yonkers incident. His libido itching, he impulsively went after the only unescorted females he saw passing him on a deserted street corner two women walking together, Evelyn Berge and Beverly Goldstein. But, once he had cornered them with his toy gun, he lost nerve. Two women were too much! Mumbling, fumbling, he ordered them to turn over their pocketbooks, and after they obliged he again mumbled, again fumbled before shrinking into the shadows.

Has Keith the seal's popularity taken a dive?
7:30am Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Becky Carr
THE tide appears to be turning for celebrity seal Keith with anglers calling for the wayward animal to be shot as a drastic last resort if it cannot be removed from the river at Bewdley any other way.
The Angling Trust has written to a number of organisations, including the Environment Agency, demanding the seal be relocated to protect fish stocks.
If nothing can be done to remove or deter the seal, the trust claims it will be forced to secure a licence to shoot it using a qualified marksman.
It is also concerned that the seal is endangering the future of angling in the town, which it says is an important source of income for businesses.
In a statement on the trust's website, chief executive Mark Lloyd said: "We think that the Environment Agency or Natural England should have taken action before now to protect vulnerable fish stocks in the River Severn but, as they have not, we have responded to anglers' concerns by investing our members' donations and subcriptions to find a number of potential solutions.
"This marine predator cannot be allowed to carry on eating its way through freshwater fish that have taken decades to grow to a size.
"We will try everything possible to remove it humanely but more drastic action may be the only option if these methods do not work."
The trust claims it has contacted the Environment Agency, which declined its request, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue organisation, which said it would be too difficult to capture the animal safely and the company Aquatec, which provides seal scarers that emit a high-pitched noise to deter them.
The Environment Agency (EA) and RSPCA said they would not take action as the seal would naturally make its way back to the sea.
An EA spokesman said: "We are aware of the seal at Bewdley and understand the concerns of salmon and coarse fisheries and anglers.
"However, one animal on a large river like the Severn is unlikely to have a significant impact on fish stocks.
"This is 'natural predation' and it will eventually make its own way back out to sea. With this is mind, and also because seals are a protected species, we won't be taking any action."
A RSPCA spokesman said: "It's not uncommon for seals to venture up rivers away from the sea. As long as the seal is not injured or in any immediate danger then we would not be concerned for its welfare.
"The main diet of grey seals is fish, however they are opportunistic feeders and therefore they may occasionally kill and eat a small waterbird if the opportunity arose.
"We would recommend that people watch from a distance and enjoy the opportunity to see a seal in the area before it makes its own way back to the sea."
Residents, visitors and anglers in Bewdley have also expressed their concerns after seeing the seal attack and eat two ducks last Sunday.
Stuart Anderson, of Bewdley, a member of the Pike Anglers Club of Great Britain, said: "This seal is a foreign animal in an eco-system that does not support it.
"I am very worried as it now has started taking ducks and waterfowl and soon will start attacking swans and maybe dogs swimming. It could more seriously attack a child, if cornered, as they are very territorial."
Bewdley resident Gary Mayner snapped a photo of Keith with a duck in its mouth last Sunday.
He said: "Like everybody else at first I thought that it was nice to see a seal but the more I thought about it, having just witnessed it killing then eating a duck, it's not quite right having it here."
The Wyre Forest Study Group has been tracking the seal's progress up the river.
Group co-ordinator Rosemary Winnall, of Bewdley, said: "I haven't discovered any records of seals this far up the river before. It's a very difficult issue.
"The seal seems to be getting so excited about all the food and is eating the high protein parts and discarding them. It would be better to go back to the sea but what can be done about it?"

The anglers offend many walkers and cyclists and there is no call for them to be shot by a qualified marksmen!!
This is absolutely appalling!! anglers catch fish for fun, Keith catches them to survive!! leave Keith alone!!

How would it do this? Would the child be swimming in the river like the dogs?
Or would it come out of the river and amble along the street???

Compare this to the stress/suffering that is caused by anglers when catching fish for sport and they have no defence.
Now if Keith got into a Trout breeding pool then there would be a justified reason for his removal.
I strongly object to the suggestion that this wild animal be removed by shooting.
Maybe if someone told him not far away is a sanctuary where he would be feed and well cared for he might take up residence (The Safari Park)

Unbelievable, thats right scare people with stupid stories so the seal gets shot. If that fails, next weeks headlines will be "Benefit claiming Seal responsible for drug problems in town". Save keith the seal I say. He is killing fish to eat and I'm sure there is plenty for all, why do the anglers have any more rights.

The kind caring Bewdley anglers that leave litter including hooks & line that has caused 2 vet visits for my dog , shout abuse & throw objects at passing rowers, play loud music while enjoying the peace of the river want to sort the naughty seal problem and save the regions eco system with a gun. Ignore the experts. Poor Keith public opinion has really turned against you.

We're talking about a seal here who has lost her way up the River Severn, and NOT a criminal !
'The Angling Trust' really should wake up to the fact that the river is a natural habitat for everyone to enjoy, and not just solely for the angling fraternity.
So has Keith the seal's popularity taken a dive ? Judging by the more humane amongst us - certainly not !

I'm not an angler myself (not for 20 odd years anyway), but I know many who would echo your sentiments.
I think it's important that people don't mistake this as a conservation issue. The stretch of the Severn currently occupied by the Seal isn't a discrete ecosystem. Therefore, in the highly unlikely event that a single predator could drive population declines in given species of fish, logic (and scientific evidence) tells us that as the prey decline, they become harder to acquire. So the predator is faced with the choice to relocate, or starve. Either way, prey populations would then recover; by way of breeding, or immigration.
Regarding Pike: Haven't many "match" waters systematically removed the species, with the intent of boosting numbers of their chosen quarry? This shows the hypocrisy of the Angling Trust bemoaning the fact that Pike have been predated. Would they also have Kingfishers, Otters, and other piscivourous species "controlled" as well?
Sadly, all this is only too familiar to naturalists in the UK. Vested interests routinely persecute native predators (both legally and illegally), damaging ecosystems, and causing untold suffering for their own selfish ends.

not enough for this minority to kill.
The seal is a wild animal. It kills to eat. It isn't vermin, a pest or a nuisance. Its just doing what seals do.
Anglers are 'apparently' grown men who spend a day sat on the river bank trying to outwit a fish.
We all have hobbies and pass times. Some might be a bit odd. But if we aren't causing hurt, suffering or pain, then we should be left alone to pursue them.
To call for the killing of the seal is selfish, cruel and really tells us a lot about anglers. The Angling Trust should be ashamed of itself. Its a disgrace. perhaps we can call for the shooting of anglers, for depleting fish stocks ? Is that reasonable ?
If the seal is killed, I will be ashamed to be a resident of Bewdley. Media across the world will condemn the town. Bewdley will become famous, but for the wrong reasons.
I never really had an opinion on anglers. I do now. I have complete contempt for them.
And as for suggesting that the seal could attack a child........Stuart Anderson is presumably an imbecile, unless he is a high quality 'troll' who has hacked into the report in an attempt to say the most ridiculous, ludicrous and downright idiotic things his small brain can summon. Sadly, I think he is the former. A cruel, selfish and contemptible little man who will say anything to further his cause.
Stuart Anderson; You don't speak for me, or the people of Bewdley. I am ashamed to live in the same town as people like you.

Please do not try and justify your argument by claiming that a seal will kill a child! Will he waddle out of the river to a nearby playground? I would imagine their teeth are sharp enough to produce a nasty bite but then surely people are not silly enough to get that close? and we all know that swans can pack a punch with their bite....shall we shoot them too? No, they are ok because they dont endanger the precious fish stocks for the anglers! Sorry fisherman, take a few weeks break, find a warmer hobby and let Keith be!

Seals are a protected species so if the Angling Trust are serious about harming Keith it will be disastrous for the image of Bewdley both economically and through loss of reputation. There is no justification for this kind of action – how humane is it that anglers catch fish and then throw them back into the river?
A licence must be obtained before any action can be taken and it is extremely difficult for this kind of licence to go through. If businesses in Bewdley think that one seal who eats roughly 25lbs of a fish a day (equivalent to approximately 5 fish a day) is a threat to their livelihoods then they should consider the even bigger impact that it will have on their businesses f something happens to Keith or someone takes the law into their own hands and harms her as this will really put Bewdley and Worcestershire on the map if Keith is harmed in this way.

It seems they want Keith dead
What a bunch of morons they are
Do they think their request will go far?
They are idiots of the first degree
They are as selfish as selfish can be
I'm outraged to think they have the right
To shoot Keith and banish her out of sight
Please sign the petition, give Keith your support
She's done nothing wrong apart from caught
A few fish to satisfy her hunger and eat
She deserves to have a bit of meat
So to all you anglers who think Keith's a threat
Stick your request up your a**s, and please let
This lovely seal stay, live and let live
She has such a lot of pleasure to give

They are fighting to stop anything that in their simple minds may disturb fish.
Currently they are trying to cull cormorants, goosanders, otters and no doubt many other natural predators.
They also want to stop canoeing and kayaking on our rivers.
For a small organisation they make a lot of noise, sadly they have friends in high places eg. R. Benyon MP DEFRA, he supports them and their policies.

Seals do use rivers; it's not unknown and is perfectly natural.
Anglers do not use rivers as their wild habitat. This is a fact; they only use it for a hobby. I'm appalled that a small minded individual without ANY facts whatsoever deems the seal to be a nuisance and thinks they are in their right to have it shot/moved/scared off.
You have no right, you're a fisherman, it's not your river, it belongs to Mother Nature.
I take objection to your existence, shall I apply to the government for a marksmanship licence to have you shot, or, shall I have you removed to a remote place where you can't bother my enjoyment of Bewdley and the river Severn.
I want to personally thank you though, for bringing such a stupid request publicly, now we can all laugh and joke at your expense for suggesting, what in all honestly, is a very very stupid idea.

What utter nonsense. A vast river like the severn is being devastated by one seal ? How many fish will a Pike kill and eat in a day ?
The Anglers have no reason to protect fish stocks, other than for their own selfish interests. They don't care about fish, seals, or anything except the pursuit of their small minded little hobby, that is frankly incomprehensible to those of us who have a life.
Let the seal do what it likes. It is doing what comes naturally. Its killing to LIVE ! Not killing for fun, for sport or for pleasure. That dubious honour is only held by man.

Charlie Wi carded a three-under 69 on Friday at Pebble Beach to take a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Wi, who was one of three first-round leaders, finished 36 holes at 12-under- par 130. Having played Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach in the first two rounds, Wi will move to Spyglass Hill for round three.
With the pro-am format, the entire field rotates through the three courses for the first three days, then will shift to Pebble Beach for the final round.
Two-time winner Dustin Johnson, who shared the first-round lead with Wi and Danny Lee, managed an even-par 72 at Spyglass to fall into second place at minus-nine.
Vijay Singh, the 2004 champion, posted his second straight four-under 68 on Friday to move into a tie for third place at minus-eight. He was joined there by Padraig Harrington (66), Lee (73), Brian Gay (65) and Brendon Todd (69).
Tiger Woods, who is playing this event for the first time since 2002, managed a two-under 70 at Monterey to finish two rounds at minus-six. He is tied for 17th with Ryan Moore, Ricky Barnes and two others.

Nicholas Kirkwood has designed some awesomely retro footwear for ladies, inspired by the work of artist, Keith Harring.
I don't know about you, but if I was a woman or Russel Brand, I'd definitely step out in one of these. These heels are only available in Hong Kong as of right now, but you can see this style on any hip hop video or black sitcom from the late 80′s/early 90′s.

I can see why they're only available in Hong Kong.

Do I hear undertones of contention?
Maybe this Board does have a good cross section of ideals and perhaps we will move forward on this one.
on Dec 22, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Having been involved in numerous strategic planning exercises, I detect the typical, normal discussion about approach and desired results that comes at the start of a strategic planning effort.
Having an outside consultant is a very good idea for this endeavor. There are disciplines to doing strategic plans effectively, and those who are the "content" experts (PAUSD Board and Administrators) will benefit greatly from someone who can put together a process that is designed for this particular group at this particular time.
While there are certain common elements to any strategic plan and its process, they are not "cookie cutter" in approach going in, and once they get under way, the issues and ideas that surface are entirely unique to the matters at hand. An outside consultant can be dispassionate about the content, but can help the thinking along as things develop.
And a good strategic planning process requires a great deal of pre-planning before the actual strategic planning begins. It sounds like Kevin, Camille and Melissa are on point for that, and they will have their hands full working with the consultant to "set the stage" for what comes next.
There have been opinions, including mine, about the rigor that went into the last strategic plan, and whether it really was a strategic plan, or something other than that. This report suggests that the District leadership is keen to develop this time a strategic plan that truly fits that defintion.
on Dec 23, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Hmmm, I'm with Parent on this one, there sounds like there's a certain amount of jockeying for control. Baten Caswell who's been on the board for a handful of meetings is already taking a strong stance on how things should be done. And it's in conflict with Townsend--who, of course, was running last year's meetings on *that* topic.

UW in no rush to hire new President
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) _ It took only seven days to hire to a new football coach at the University of Wyoming, but there's no such rush to hire a new president for the state's only public, four-year college.
UW officials have said little about when a search will commence to find a replacement for former President Bob Sternberg, who resigned after less than five months on the job late last year.
UW Trustees President Dave Bostrom said the university's silence on a presidential search has nothing to do with priorities.
He tells the Casper Star-Tribune that the nature of college athletics requires quickly finding a new head football coach.
The board of trustee will discuss the presidency at its Jan. 16 meeting.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Radium Elementary School looked more like the old west Tuesday and the cowboys wandering the halls were looking for life-long readers.
Kindergarten through fifth graders took the reading pledge, promising to be lifelong readers. Teachers say as students near that mid-point of the year, it's important to keep them fired up about reading. Students are encouraged not only to read for class, but for enjoyment.
"If you don't read then you won't be able to go through life because reading will help you out with the books that you read and the information that you get will help you out in life," said fifth grader Amari Cotton.
Tuesday's event was part of the accelerated reading program that teaches students that through good reading skills they will excel academically and develop a life-long love for reading.

A Game Theoretical Model of Land Contract Choice
AbstractIn most of the land tenancy literature the type of contract is exogenous. Also even though these contracts vary a lot among farms, between regions and over time, the theoretical literature has not always acknowledged this idiosyncrasy. Building on the strategic bargaining theory initiated by Rubinstein, this model not only makes the type of contract endogenous, but also provides the surplus sharing rules and the conditions giving rise to each type of contract, showing how the type and terms of the contract are tailored to fit the characteristics of the parties and their economic environment. Pairwise bargaining is embedded into a market context by putting "competitive pressure" on the players through the opportunity they have to break up bargaining and look for alternative partners. Because of this threat of opting out, the outcome of the bargaining process depends not only on the characteristics of the players, but also on events outside their match and the information they have about them. The model departs from price-taking assumptions. Type and terms of the contract result from negotiation and are shaped by the "relative bargaining powers" of the players whose relevant components are identified in a precise way in the model.

Will This Configuration Be Enough to Run Ubuntu and Netbeans (web dev IDE)?
I will start with a little background info. I am a web developer and I have an up-to-date laptop, so I am not looking for a high-tech desktop PC as well. I am looking to get myself something that I can use for work only, leaving the laptop for entertainment and on-the-road stuff.
That's why I decided to get a (cheap) desktop PC for . I found a pretty good offer for an affordable one with the following configuration and since I am not very knowledged when it comes to hardware, I'd like to consult with you guys. I will only install Ubuntu (or another linux distribution) and use Netbeans (a web development IDE). Some SVN and web surfing activities as well will be done, but no heavy multimedia stuff like watching movies or playing games or Photoshop (thees will be done on the laptop).
The configuration itself:
Intel Pentium 4 1.7GHz (256KB L2 Cache)
RAM: 1024MB 266MHz DDR SDRAM
HD: 20GB 5400 rpm SMART III Ultra ATA/100
CD Rom drive
Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 845G
Connection: Integrated Intel PRO/100 VM
Other: Integrated Intel Audio, 2+2xUSB 2.0
Box/case type: SFF
I know this is pretty old, but it's dead cheap and I think it will do the job for my needs. What do you think? Will this configuration suffice or should I spend a few bucks more for a better PC?SEO Expert, Article Writer, PHP/Wordpress and Android Developer

It *should* be fine but you may want to look at a little more RAM if you can stretch your budget slightly.
One consideration is that for webdev if you're doing any HTML/CSS and not just serverside scripting, you'll almost certainly want to run a Virtual Machine with a Windows OS so you can test in Internet Explorer. I'm fairly sure a machine with that spec will struggle to run a virtual machine.

Eight years ago, on the night New York Times bestselling novelist Brad Meltzer became a father, it hit him. "…I remember looking up at the crisp black sky and thinking about this baby boy we were just blessed with. That's when I asked myself the question for the first time: what kind of man did I want my son to be?"
Meltzer realized that there are heroes all around usfrom Jim Henson, to Rosa Parks, to Mr. Rogersand it was those heroes that he wanted to share with his son. HEROES FOR MY SON (HarperStudio / May 11, 2010 / $19.99) is a book that shows you far more than great people. It shows you the single moment that makes each person great. In a time where we are challenged in so many ways—by wars, a failing economy, moral failings of leaders and would-be leaders—the simple question of what makes a hero is as crucial and timely now for adults as it is for children. Bringing together vignettes, quotes and photos (many of which have not been seen in decades), Meltzer creates a special kind of guide to just those qualities that make a life great.
Meltzer chose 52 men and women as varied as the Wright Brothers and the cop who would help create the Make-A-Wish Foundation; Mother Theresa and Lucille Ball; Jonas Salk, Jesse Owens, and yes, Grandfather Ben Rubin. The stories he tells about them is pitch-perfect, and each tale focuses on the telling, little-known moment when character was forged. It might not be the moment we think of—for example Thomas Jefferson is not included because he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he's there because he didn't publicize that fact (indeed, it didn't become common knowledge that he was the author until sixteen years after his death). Meltzer wanted his son to know that kind of modesty.
About Brad Meltzer:
Brad Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Fate, as well as the bestsellers The Tenth Justice, Dead Even, The First Counsel, The Millionaires, The Zero Game, and The Book of Lies. He is also one of the co-creators of the TV show, Jack & Bobby—and is the Eisner Award-winning author of the critically acclaimed comic book, Justice League of America. His newest thriller, The Inner Circle, will be released in January 2011. You can read more about him at www.BradMeltzer.com.
Each time I see one of those Southwest Airlines commercials that ends with "Wanna Get Away?" I think to myself….does anyone ever say no? I mean who doesn't want to go on vacation. And when I say vacation I don't mean a business trip where you are locked up in the hotel with your laptop or in back to back meetings. I mean where you can leave your iPhone/Blackberry or, whatever else is glued to your hand, in your room and go out and enjoy yourself or do nothing, just do what you want. So we won't get crazy because I realize in this economy we all have to work twice as hard but remember even a brief vacation can reenergize you and allow your mind to generate ideas that can make you even more valuable in your business environment. So we'll imagine you are going to allow yourself a four-day weekend getaway and I'm going to give you some tips of what to bring.
Since I travel about 150 days a year I have discovered its easiest to just have a bag packed with the essentials and add whatever specifics I need for each trip. Some of my favorites include the following:
My Top Ten Summer Travel Must-Haves
1) A carryall you love.
My favorite is this amazing chestnut leather Saddleback Overnight Bag ($537) With a 100 year warranty and a company slogan "They'll Fight Over it When You're Dead" Get one now before there aren't any more to will your grandchildren.
2) A versatile oversized handbag.
… to maximize your carryon capacity…just admit it, it never fits the same on the way back as when you packed it. And this stunning creamy white and gold bag is a beauty for summer travel. A versatile go with everything style to do just that…go with everything!
3) Reading material
Since you won't be scrolling thru 376 emails an hour you'll have time to read something that enlightens you or entertains you or just something you can read because no one is telling you what to read. I admit it is considered a business read for me but I can't resist brining along the latest copy of Lucky Magazine to see what they are saying will be the hot new buy.
4) Travel Shoes
Once you've been stopped going thru airport security in a pair of boots you learn the valuableness of slip-ons. If like me you have a "Stop Me TSA" beacon on your had you learn to streamline everything. My favorite travel shoes are comfortable,easy to maneuver thru airport security and roll up to the size of my fist so I can throw them in my clutch. At just $22.50 how are you living without your own pair of "Spare Pair Travel Shoes/Ballet Flats."
5) Oversized Sunglasses
So maybe you overslept, or maybe like me you finally want to sleep in peace or maybe you actually just need to shade your eyes but some oversized black shades are a must-have. They hide a multitude of things and work brilliantly for shutting down the lady next to you on the plane who was about to tell you about her recent intestinal issues.
6) A Staple-Meets-Accessory Scarf
Areat replacement for airline blankets, wrap for evenings, sarong for day and a little extra something for the freezing hotel room. Check out the cool multi-purpose scarves available from Donni Charm. You'll be amazed what college students are doing nowadays!!!!
7) Little Black Dress
Does this really need an explanation? If it does check out my "Little Black Dress Experiment" from last year and see all the ways you can wear it.
8 Oversized Hat
To hide from family, ex-boyfriends, the paparazzi, or just to keep your skin shaded to avoid skin cancer, this awesome widebrimmed hat can be folded, bent, smashed and yet it still pops back to its original shape when you take it out at the pool.
9) A comfortable swimsuit
Get out and enjoy the beach, pool, lake, whatever. No one is looking at your "pasty-white-I've been in the office all year" skin. Just get some sunshine so when you return to work everyone else wishes they enjoyed your vacation as much as you did.
10) A trip to the Container Store Travel Sale for all of lifes little travel essentials.
This last one is a little all-encompassing…but there are so many great little pieces I don't leave home without….the reusable Ziploc complete with TSA approved travel-sized toiletries, jewelry roll, shake and wake travel clock, lint roller, wrinkle release, digital luggage scale, vacuum bags…and there is so much more to meet every traveler's need. Visit the store or their website for amazing deals on travel goodies. Sale going on now.
Josh Goldberg's song is one of three from current and former students of Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts. "The Booker 3" is a project got students to be matched with a professional songwriter/producer (in this case, Cary Pierce and Kort Peters). Proceeds from the sale of "The Booker 3" (available on i Tunes with more information at www.booker3.com) goes to support the school. The songs were co-written and produced by Cary Pierce of Jackopierce. Josh was recently accepted into University of Southern California's prestigious Popular Music program and will be attending in the fall. As a result of a generous grant from the Goss-Michael foundation, and in honor of the opening of the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, Josh was recently chosen to perform his original arrangement of John Lennon's "Imagine" on the same piano Lennon used to compose the masterpiece in 1971. He was also one of the first recipients of the BTWHSPVA Advisory Board's Songshop Scholarship. Josh has been a member of Booker T's prestigious Midi Ensemble for two years, contributing his vocals, piano, and original songs, and shared a Downbeat ©Award with them in 2009 for best Blues/Pop/Rock Group. Josh was a finalist in the Dallas Songwriters Association 2008 Song Contest, and has performed for their Crossroads Songwriting Festival multiple times. Other performance highlights include: Deep Ellum Arts Fest, opening ceremonies of the Maccabi International Youth Olympics, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson's Holiday Celebration, Arts Fest at the Meyerson Symphony Center, Gala at the Wyly Theatre, Aga Kahn Foundation annual Partnership Walk, One Arts Plaza Block Party, No Tie Dinner [Benefitting Aids services of Dallas], Texas Rangers' Foundation Dinner, Lightcatcher Winery, The Door Dallas, Save Darfur- Benefit Concert, American Cancer Society- Benefit Concert, and numerous appearances at coffee-shops, corporate events, and private parties. In addition to his musical endeavors, Josh is deeply involved in school and community life; he serves as president of the student council and the creative writing club and is the Religious and Cultural Vice President for the Dallas Area Federation of Temple Youth. Josh is a National Merit Commended Student, AP Scholar, National Hispanic, and is in the top 10% of his graduating class.

Other notable alums include dancer Jay Franke, Philadelphia Orchestra cellist John Koen, visual artists Christian Schumann and Chris Arnold, drummer Aaron Comess, and Edie Brickell of the New Bohemians.
More than 44 million Americans (21% of the adult population) provide unpaid care to an elderly or disabled person. Altogether, informal caregivers provide 80 percent of the long-term care in the United States. Many of these are adults who are caring for their aging parents. But, as Allison Bottke reveals, many who long for a strong relationship with their parent (or parents) instead find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of chaos, crisis, or drama. It's a sad fact that there are a great many families where significant dysfunction concerning healthy boundaries plays a profound role, often spanning multi-generations.
It was during the speaking tour for her previous book release, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children, that Bottke first discovered this problem. As she addressed our society's current epidemic of enabling our adult children, she was surprised when, time after time, her audience would ask what to do when they, the adult children, faced boundary problems with their aging parents.
In response to these numerous cries for help, Bottke wrote Setting Boundaries with Your Aging Parents to address the more problematic relationships some adult children have with their parents as a direct result of a parent's destructive choices. Bottke specifically addresses the more toxic relationships—the "less-than-Norman-Rockwell-images" of family. Using the Six-Steps to SANITY, she helps "not so perfect parents" to find balance in the difficult journey of setting healthy boundaries with their aging parents.

It doesn't have to be just Texan fan ladies, (though we all know they are the best looking) I am not asking for nudes or anything that will make women uncomfortable. Just pictures of women wearing their fan gear. I am not discouraging sultry pictures but not demanding them. I will be having a bracket style vote, I haven't decided on whether to have it just on my tumblr or both there and here (though the no bewbs rule kinda discourages voting here lol) All I ask is if you know someone who would be interested lead them to this link. http://tmblr.co/Z5vqEwIegkZ2 the winner of this contest will get a free jersey of their choice.

2008 Review/ 2009 Preview: Travis Kvapil
By admin | January 18, 2009
 By Richard Allen
Over the next few days and weeks I will be presenting a review of 2008 and a preview of 2009 for each of the drivers and teams who appear to be set for a full time run in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. For the most part these pieces will run in order by car number. If you should miss out on your favorite driver simply type his name into the search box at the upper right hand portion of the website.
#28- Travis Kvapil
As far as anyone knows, Travis Kvapil is still in place after the whirlwind that has swept through Yates Racing during this off season.
Since the last race of 2008 stories have circulated that Kvapil's crew chief, Todd Parrott, had been relieved of his duties. Then, it was reported that Parrott was still the pit boss for car #28.
Kvapil's teammate of last season, David Gilliland, has apparently been let go. In the mean time, Bobby Labonte and Paul Menard have been added to the Yates fold.
2008 had a few good moments for Kvapil. He won a pole in Talladega and had four Top 10 finishes. Other than that, there was little to write home about.
This team does seem to have good set ups for the restrictor plate tracks and they have Roush Fenway Racing engineering in their corner. And, the additions of Labonte and Menard have brought much needed to sponsorship dollars to the Yates organization. So, the pieces are in place.
Travis Kvapil could have some good runs this year provided the breaks go his way. This could be one of the few smaller teams to see improvement despite testing limitations. Their association with RFR could provide dividends on the track.
*Changes at Yates Racing may have reduced this team's schedule to only 5 races.
Driver: Travis Kvapil
Car: #28
Owner: Yates Racing

Minot police are investigating a home invasion that happened this morning in southeast Minot as family members slept.
The call came in shortly after 4-am in the Green Valley neighborhood, south of the Fairgrounds.
The homeowners, Ashlee and Cameron Deschamp DE-shaw say someone first tried to break in through a back door on the house - and then moved on to a side door.
But a home alarm system apparently scared off the would-be robber.
Police say shortly after the attempted break-in, a vehicle was stolen in the same area.
Police then searched the Souris Drive area using tracking dogs and followed some footprints in the snow.
But the trail soon disappeared and no one was found.
As of tonight, there have been no arrests in the case.
If you have information about the attempted home invasion, contact the Minot Police Department.

Sweeney Todd grabs judges by the throat
12:30pm Wednesday 24th October 2012 in What's On
BRIDGWATER Amateur Operatic Society has scooped the top award in the equivalent of the Oscars for the amateur stage in the region.
At the Winter Gardens in Weston on Sunday, Bridgwater Amateur Operatic Society won best amateur production in the Rose Bowl Awards.
Their production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd beat off competition from groups from around the South-West.
Their presentation also celebrated the 20th anniversary of their production in 1992, directed by the late Brian Buttle, which also won the Rose Bowl Award.
Cast members Ed Cresswick and Mike Hardy were also nominated for best actor and best supporting actor respectively.
Director James Tucker said he was proud to work with the society and a cast he ranked as one of the finest he had been involved with, as well as musical director Tony Pomeroy and choreographer Becki Tucker.
The society is hard at work to bring to life Some Enchanted Evening, the songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein, at Bridgwater Arts Centre from November 28 to December 1.
Tickets at £10 are available on 01278 662181, but numbers are limited and expected to sell out well before the event.
