Meet the Man
Kyle Robinson
Kyle Robinson
Businessman/Buyer/Fashion theorist
Being smart, handsome, effortlessly stylish, funny and at ease in the company of women and women's fashion, it didn't take Kyle Robinson long to make his mark when he arrived in London in his early 20s. Naturally, somehow managing to be all that and straight made him stand out even more. Rather than bask in it, though, he's been getting up and going from day one.
Five years after he left Melbourne for the UK, Robinson has just founded his second fashion showroom here. Paper Mache Tiger is where he and his team showcase their labels, meet buyers and work with stores and, increasingly, online operations too. It's set in an impressive former bank building on the fringes of the city, next to his former company (and Hussein Chalayan's), and opposite the headquarters of Vice. Inside, the new company's big white basement space is like a fashion Aladdin's Cave, with clothes, jewellery and accessories from their roster of brands (which include Stolen Girlfriends Club, Athena Procopiou, Beau Coops and Damien Hirst's partner Maia Norman's ultra high-end Mother of Pearl label). When we visited, they were once again preparing to put the entire contents of their substantial space into the back of a lorry.
"Four times a year, we pack the whole showroom up and take all the collections to Paris. Some of the things that happen along the way are hilarious", Robinson explains. "You could make a great movie about that journey. And of course, if you don't speak French in Paris… good luck." Not that he's complaining - France, Robinson says, is leading the way in directional, affordable women's fashion. "They're calling it the French Invasion," he says. "Nobody else is coming close at the moment. It's good - it keeps everybody over here on their toes."
Robinson himself shows few no signs of needing incentives to stay alert. Having become fascinated with advertising at school and studied fine art at university, he started out in a variety of styling and buying roles, working for companies like MTV and being asked to fly all over the place dressing squadrons of models - "It was the best job in the world!" He began representing small designers via friends of friends and chance meetings, and arrived in London just as British fashion was waking up to the new wave of Australian fashion designers emerging in hip, creative corners of cities like Sydney and Melbourne.
Though his list of labels is now heavy with UK and European brands, the basic principle is the same: Robinson believes in emerging labels, bold design and new ideas over safety, whatever the complications. "We've got this great label called Draw in Light, two girls who are based not far from us. They make these beautiful pieces and silkscreen the prints by hand, so no two are identical. But when a woman orders two versions online so she can keep the one that fits - which is what usually happens - she's going to see two versions that aren't identical. We've already had problems with that."
With menswear, from which he's pulled back somewhat of late, Robinson says the biggest problem - especially in a recession - is getting men to diverge from the brands they are loyal to and experiment with new ones. He has clever ideas about that, of course, but since he's about to start a family and rebuild a historic home (the BBC reality show is coming to your screens soon, seriously), they're going to have to wait a bit. Online, offline, on the rails or on the ferry, it's hard to imagine Robinson getting there sooner rather than later.

There's been a lot of talk about realignment ever since the NHL threw out decades of tradition and gave us the boring geographically-named divisions and conferences we live with today. While almost every hockey fan agrees that the current situation is not ideal, most of the realignment plans that you see out there are heavily skewed in favor of one team because of whatever bias the writer has. This is my attempt at a fair realignment, taking each team's particular situation and goals into account.
I believe the biggest problem with the current setup (apart from losing those historic names) is that many natural rivalries have been broken up -- some before they were ever allowed to get started. My philosophy is that cities that have something in common should be together in the same division, whenever possible. As a Caps fan, I am obviously particularly sensitive to this. Good rivalries should be the #1 consideration in any divisional structure.
But rivalries are not the only consideration. Travel is not just very expensive -- it's a competitive concern. Western Conference teams spend many more days on the road and many more hours in the air than Eastern Conference teams, and these extra burdens can have an effect on the standings. So here's my attempt at a realignment that balances the benefits and burdens on all of the teams:
Prince of Wales Conference
Tampa Bay Lighting
Credit goes to What Juneau About That for the awesome map.
Here's my thinking, division by division:
There simply has to be a far west division. It's the only way to make travel make sense. So there's not much to be said about the new Smythe. The Battle of Alberta is perhaps the best rivalry in hockey, and it's preserved, but it's hard to come up with a realignment that doesn't preserve that rivalry. Likewise the California rivalries.
This new Adams was built to reestablish natural rivalries. We've all lived with Detroit in the West so long, it probably seems normal. But if you drive due south from Detroit across the Ambassador Bridge, you end up in Windsor, Ontario. Historically, Detroit as a hockey town was more closely aligned with Toronto than Chicago. And Toronto-Buffalo-Boston-Montreal-Ottawa are such a good set of natural rivalries, they can't be broken apart.
The new Norris is born from my belief that Atlanta-Nashville-Carolina-Dallas is a natural rivalry that needs to happen. Today, those teams aren't just in different divisions -- they're in different conferences. I think St. Louis has a lot in common with those cities as well, and Chicago is a great rival for St. Louis. And Minnesota naturally belongs there as well.
The Patrick division should of course look familiar, except that the Florida teams have been added. I don't have to sell this audience on the importance of regrouping the mid-Atlantic region into one division. The #1 "a-ha!" moment I had when putting this together was when it occurred to me that in many ways the Florida cities share more in common culturally with the mid-Atlantic than with cities like Nashville, Dallas, Atlanta and Raleigh. That made everything come together, because (1) I wanted Atlanta-Nashville-Carolina-Dallas together; (2) Dallas had to be in the Campbell Conference for travel logistics reasons, and (3) you just can't put Vancouver and Miami in the same conference. The solution was to split Florida and Tampa from the rest of the southern USA teams.
There are a few tweener teams. I put Colorado in the Norris because I think the next expansion is more likely to come on the west coast (Seattle, Vegas, or Portland) or in western Canada (Winnipeg) than in the middle of either country. But if a city in the middle like Kansas City joins the league, Colorado would be moved to the Smythe.
Columbus is another tweener team. I originally had them in the Patrick division because in other sports Ohio and Pennsylvania have such great rivalries. But there's no space in the Patrick for them, and Ohio-Michigan is a great rivalry in college football, so this seemed to make sense. I also considered having the New York teams in the Adams, so that Columbus could be in the Patrick, but I wanted to leave room in the Adams for expansion because it seems likely that the greater Toronto/Hamilton area is going to gain another hockey team one of these days.
My focus has been on the rivalries, but I think travel is improved as well. The Campbell Conference has two teams in the Eastern time zone (Atlanta and Carolina) -- the same number that the Western Conference has today (Detroit and Columbus). That's a necessity because there are 18 teams in the Eastern time zone, and 16 slots in a conference. Vancouver may not be thrilled to travel more often to Atlanta and Carolina, but for rivalries reasons I think the change is worth it. And I think Atlanta and Carolina would be willing to travel more often to California and to Western Canada if it meant they could be in a division with their natural rivals Nashville and Dallas. The big winners in terms of travel are, of course, Detroit and Columbus, who will suddenly start playing a lot more games against cities within 500 miles. When you think about it, it's crazy that Columbus currently plays more games against Anaheim than Pittsburgh.
Most importantly, I don't think any team gets screwed. Chicago will be upset that its rivalry with Detroit is broken, but I think Detroit will welcome the change. Likewise, the Western Canada teams will gripe over travel to Atlanta and Raleigh instead of Detroit and Columbus, but I think Atlanta and Carolina will welcome joining a division with Nashville and Dallas even though it means more travel.
One more advantage is the shift to four divisions instead of six. Every year it seems unfair that the third playoff seed in each conference goes to a team that has a worse record than the fourth seed, just because they won a weak division. Having only two division winners per conference makes winning those divisions seem a lot more meaningful.
So what do you think?

Caroline Wilson's Story Writing Template
Here is the template The Age's chief football writer Caroline Wilson uses to write her stories:
Headline: (Name) Must Resign/be sacked
The recent (revelations/report/announcement/unsubstantiated rumours) make the position of (President/CEO/Coach/Player/Work Experience kid) completely untenable.
(Insert Club or individual) now has no choice but to (sack/resign).
There can be no doubt that this incident has potentially destroyed the reputation of the AFL and if not dealt with, will mean we will all be playing soccer next year.
It has been revealed to me by (named source/unnamed source/club insider/AFL insider/Someone on Twitter/the bartender at my local) that AFL Chief Andrew Demetriou was (extremely concerned/in complete denial/not returning my calls/wondering when I'll write something positive about football) when briefed about this issue.
The AFL is expected to take a dim view of the (club/individual)'s handling of this incident, as it is understood league bosses had been increasingly concerned by the influence of (Sports scientists/organised crime/betting companies/Dane Swan).
While the details of this incident are yet to be fully revealed, it's clear the (club/individual) faces (Prison/Sanctions/removal of draft picks/million dollar fines/a stern talking to/a strongly worded email/mocking at the pub/an appearance on Celebrity Splash).
The broader football community have openly been questioning the actions of (club/player) for months now and are believed to be (outraged/considering legal action/busy trying to win football games/mystified regarding what I was talking about when asked).
Whichever way events unfold over the upcoming days, AFL football will never recover from this.
In conclusion, Brad Scott is out of control. Don't just listen to me, lots of people in the football community have been saying so. I won't name them of course.

I'm a Blues season ticket holder and I recently made the trip down from St Louis for the game on the 23rd and I've gotta say this was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had at a hockey game before (which is a big deal because I've been to five or six hundred games) I just turned 21 and made the trip down as a b-day present to myself. I've only been to 2 road games before and my first was to Chicago and I was expecting plenty of heckling and harassment because I know thats how division rivalry games go and I dish it out in St Louis to some degree so I knew I had to take it. In Nashville it was a totally different story.
Before I even got inside I had people stopping me outside the arena and asking me if I was from St Louis and asked how my drive was and really brought a whole new meaning to southern hospitality. Even throughout the game I had no heckling when I was up cheering after a Blues goal or something like that. I was really impressed with the crowd and how nice everyone was.
I know I only have limited knowledge since I've only personally been to 3 different arenas but I'm pretty convinced that Preds fans could be some of the nicest in the NHL. Just wanted to say thanks for making my trip a nice one... the win helped too =)
With all that being said, if the Blues hang on to the division lead (which we will probably lose again in the next few hours... thanks Columbus) and you guys hang in that 4-5 matchup and play Detroit, please kick the crap out of them. If we have to play you guys in the first round... I'm still worried and I don't want to do that, especially after yesterday and how much stronger you guys got. Good luck the rest of the way and congrats on having some of the nicer fans in the league!

Downtown Palo Alto has become very popular, like so many other cities that become popular along with that popularity more people are drawn to the downtown. There is a low police presence in our downtown. Police should increase the presence now early on to discourage this type of activity from growing. Getting a handle on the increased activity now may discourage more latter keeping the area safe for everyone for the long term.

Mitt Romney says he knew he was going to be booed. He expected it.
Yet when it happened, he seemed slightly taken aback, a half smile fixed on his face.
He had accepted the invitation to address the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People's annual convention, held this year in Houston, Texas. It is tradition the organisation, the oldest civil rights movement in the US, issues a welcome to the presidential candidates every four years.
Romney knew this was not exactly home turf. Most of the audience was black, and most African Americans overwhelmingly backed the historic election of Barack Obama.
He strode out, 15 minutes late, praised the music and told the audience in the hall, which was around 4000 people short of the 5000 capacity, that he was an inclusive politician.
Drawing on his time as governor of the traditional Democrat stronghold of Massachusetts, he said: "Maybe you've wondered how any Republican ever becomes governor of Massachusetts in the first place.
Well, in a state with 11 per cent Republican registration, you don't get there by just talking to Republicans. We have to make our case to every voter. We don't count anybody out, and we sure don't make a habit of presuming anyone's support."
He then moved on to his economic message. This is where Romney feels most comfortable. With black unemployment running well above the national average of 8.2 per cent, there were many people keen to hear what he had to say.
There was a smattering of applause for some of his ideas, but then he insisted the Affordable Health Care act threatened jobs and that would have to go. It is President Obama's signature legislation, the law dubbed Obamacare by his opponents.
It started almost as a muffled shout but soon the boos rumbled around the hall. If the Republican candidate really knew that was the reaction he'd get, then he almost certainly knew that was the phrase that would cause it. He departed from his prepared text to offer an explanation, a justification, but by then he'd lost the crowd on the point he was trying to make.
He spoke about education and promised to continue to talk to the NAACP if elected. This received polite applause but then, moving towards the end of his speech he told the audience: "If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community, you are looking at him". If this was an appeal for support, it was met again with a round of boos. Defiantly almost, the candidate added "You take a look".
As he left the stage, people in the hall were quick to give their verdict and most of it was negative. They did give him credit for turning up but one woman told me, "He simply doesn't understand the concerns of the black voters".
One smartly dressed young man, who said he arrived early to make sure he got a good seat and obviously expecting a larger crowd told me: "I think he has something to say on the economy, but there's not enough there to make me think of voting for him". One older man's views were definitive, calling Mitt Romney "a liar".
The Republican candidate quoted Martin Luther King Junior, author GK Chesterton and even a former head of the NAACP during his speech, but he also invoked the memory of his father George Romney. His father ran for president in 1968, failed to win the Republican nomination, but stood with the civil rights leaders of the time.
This speech may have been aimed at the black community but it was also for independents outside this hall who have yet to make up their mind. This was to show the former governor is open, inclusive and responsible.
Yet Mitt Romney knows when people go to the polls, the African American community will again overwhelmingly support Barack Obama. He can expect that.

Lemonade Stand 101: Entrepreneurship Workshop for Children at LIU Brooklyn
Demonstrating its commitment to the Fort Greene community and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among young learners, LIU Brooklyn is offering Lemonade Stand 101, an entrepreneurship workshop to elementary school children, ages seven and up. Twelve students recently participated, spending a full day discussing and brainstorming what it means to be an entrepreneur, as well as critiquing their own solutions.
The students, taught by Mike Murphy, a marketing executive with more than 25 years of experience, debated topics such as selling snow. When Murphy suggested selling snow in the desert, the children began to grasp the concept of supply and demand.
"I love how the kids always want to collaborate with each other," said Murphy. "It's all about helping each other, whether that is to ideate, to problem solve or just to support each other—it's amazing."
Participants were then divided into groups and asked to tackle a problem of their own making. Spending an hour with a variety of creative materials, the young entrepreneurs created prototypes while refining their ideas. The children discussed several variables, such as the importance of creating a valuable product at a reasonable price. They created everything from a solar-powered pocket robot butler to a portable art kit. After presenting their ideas, including target markets, the group discussed bringing the idea to the market.
Students ended the workshop by visiting the student-run Brooklyn Treat Shoppe at LIU Brooklyn, where students explained the different aspects that go into running the shop. Lemonade Stand 101 will be held on the LIU Brooklyn campus in Session 1 of the Children's Academy summer camp, July 7 to 18. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718-488-1364.

FOOTBALL: CHQ Utd tighten grip on Cirencester League title
5:19pm Tuesday 1st April 2014 in Sport
M4 Karting Cirencester Div One.
Poulton 1 CHQ Utd 2.
CHQ remain favourites for the League title but they had to work hard to overcome Poulton, who led for much of the game.
Steve Andrews gave Poulton the lead with a fine goal from 20 yards after 18 minutes, a lead they held comfortably for the rest of the half. CHQ showed more determination in the second half and equalised 15 minutes in when Mani Randhawa headed home a free kick.
They continued to exert considerable pressure for the rest of the game and were rewarded when Troy Weaven netted the winner from close range with seven minutes remaining.

Mighty swings that yield little flairs are the gold mine finds of championships in baseball.
Gallo suspects that the snowheads at the park are more plowed than he is, but maybe not. This game has demonstrated that the Giants have it in them to win a close game and even, yes, to come back. He wouldn't expect this to become a habit, but the occasional easy win plus one of these would put them in the class of team that, um, does that kind of thing. Which would make them "good."
Gallo can't put them in that category at the moment, but he has seen it happen in '66, '68, '72, '88, and other years. If you remember otherly, then fuck you. My memory is trump.
You should just get used to Frenchy in left and Couzy at second and the Punter in right. That's our team.
Groin Pull is our Loogy, and Gas Can is our Roogy. Gallo remembers when there was no Loogy and Don Larsen was the Roogy. At that time, my body was lean, America was great, and people respected the Pope. Time was relative.
But, back to our point. The ability to hold a lead has been the touchmark of the championship years. It has not been a mark of the recent days, nor has the ability to take the lead once it is lost. As Gallo writes this, the Cubs threatened to tie the game based on bullshit, but a good play by Pablo prevents it.
Bully for us.
It will come down to the 9th, with the Cubbie Wubbies batting, and probably with guys on 2nd, yes several guys on second, waiting to score on any hit of any kind.
The fireworks at Cal Expo are audible, predictably. Romo is in.
Gallo understands the nervous affectations of Sergio Romo. He and he share many of them. Granting the opposition a chance is one trait we share. Gallo would discourage putting the first to runners on base, but that might be the strategy. It is a fine strategy, similar to the Brian Wilson strategy of loading the bases prior to striking people out or getting a double play. Hah.
Gallo expects a coup here . . . but that fast Cub has defeated the expectation. Damn him. Damn him to hell.
I'm sure he's a nice fellow.
We are down to it, amigos. Little Billy Goat Romo has let the lefty cue one down the line, and Blet has blet it go through his legs, thus allowing runs. Cubs lead: 3-2. It might be that the Giants aren't a very good team.
No, you aren't a good team when you blow 1 run leads and make 9th inning errors that cost you the game. But we'll see. Now, the Giants must score two runs before they score three outs, and I don't care a whit about Kuip's electric bill.
Pablo is forever. But Pence is . . . . anxious . . . . and Blet goes deep, but not enough.
And that's the ballgame.

Congratulations to Juan Gonzalez on being named the fourth greatest Texas Ranger of all time by the LSB community.
Round four was by far the biggest clash we've had yet. Rafael Palmeiro lead most of the way, before Igor tied him with just a couple of hours to spare. From there, the tie was broken and then some with every final vote going to Gonzalez. The two combined for 85% of the vote, with Juando pulling in 46% to beat Raffy by six.
So I can assume we have a one-sided vote ahead of us now.
Feel free to define "greatness" however you see fit; majority will determine what our definition is, essentially. Please feel free to argue your choices and others in the comments, or not. However, if you are going to include on-field performance in greatness, I would encourage you to at least do a little bit of research to make sure some of your notions coming in are in fact correct.
Only players who played in Texas are considered for this.
I've included everyone who I thought might get a fifth place vote. If there is anyone not on the poll who you think should be up for No. 6, please let me know.

This blog post is not a troll against OpenStack. It started as a response to a twitter post, and transitioned to a reflection on the governance of Open Source projects and its impact on the code. And I am not implying Openstack is worse than Linux, just that it is a different form of open source, is not the Linux for cloud and I will tell you why. Linux was created with a vision, to provide a free and open operating system while OpenStack is just a tool to pool resources between companies to create an open cloud ecosystem. This reflects in several aspects of OpenStack, but the more glaring difference is Governance.
OpenStack and CloudStack are open source software to create infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds. Both are under the Apache License, which allows creating derivative projects, and even close sourcing them as long as you maintain the copyright notices. They represent a new wave of open software, where companies open their code to pool resources to other interested parties (another relevant example of that trend is CloudFoundy to create PaaS) . I recently attended the respective conferences for these software packages. More than the contents, the dynamics of each conference provided a very representative insight of the software.

|Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.
Sprint has changed the mobile hotspot and tethering plan options that are available to its smartphone and tablet users. The new options available are a 2GB plan for $20 per month, or a 6GB plan for $50 per month, both of which are in addition to a standard rate plan. Those that go over their allotments will have to pay $0.05 per MB in overage fees. Prior to these changes, Sprint offered a 5GB mobile hotspot plan for $30 per month. The new plans took effect on May 18, though customers that still have the 5GB plan are able to continue using it until they cancel service. The carrier also says that it will now notify users when they reach 75, 90, and 100 percent of their mobile hotspot data allotments.source: Sprint, via: Phandroid

James Everett Dutschke, the man whose home was searched Wednesday in the ricin-letters case, was able to escape surveillance for a short time Thursday.
He was located by authorities and returned home Thursday afternoon.
It was a very busy Wednesday night into Thursday in the Itawamba County, Miss., community of Ozark, according to neighbors. Nearly two dozen law enforcement vehicles kept watch on a house as part of the government's investigation in the ricin letters case.
"Normally this is a quiet road, but there were lots of strange cars going in and out, blacked out windows from starting yesterday around 5 in the afternoon until early this morning," said an Ozark resident. "My wife and I were kind of worried all night."

The home was ultimately searched around 12:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The house belongs to Melvin Kitchens. His son and grandson are friends with Dutschke, who federal investigators are focusing their attention on who sent three poisoned letters in recent weeks to President Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and Lee County, Miss., Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.

Dutschke was last seen Wednesday with his friend Kirk Kitchens. Around 12:30 Thursday afternoon, the Itawamba County Sheriff's Office searched for Dutschke in the Kitchens' house and nearby sheds.
"At this point we know that he is not in the residence," Sheriff Chris Dickinson said. "No one is in the residence. We do not know the whereabouts of these two people. At one point Wednesday night around 9:15 p.m., they were at the house but somehow they were able to abandon the house and how they did it. I don't know, and where they went I don't know."
Law enforcement officers say Kitchens was pulled over on Highway 371 Wednesday evening. The only problem is, they saw Kitchens in the car but did not see Dutschke.
"Our deputies made a traffic stop on Mr. Kitchens," Sheriff Dickinson said. "We believe that Mr. Dutschke was in the vehicle with him, but at that point the deputy did not have any reason to hold him. The deputy did not see Mr. Dutschke that I can confirm."
Late Thursday afternoon law enforcement officers located Kitchens. He told them he helped Dutschke get out of town to avoid the media. Kitchens did not know not Dutschke's whereabouts.
Kitchens said he doesn't believe Dutschke had anything to do with the ricin-laced letters. He told FOX13 News he helped his friend get out of town Wednesday night. They drove to a rural area and went through the woods without flashlights trying to get away from the media.
Tupelo residents were talking and say they wish this cloud over their city would move on.
"I'm glad no one got sick and I'm glad no one got hurt," said Ashley Jones. "It was caught in time. I am ready for it to go away. It doesn't deserve the amount of publicity it's gotten. There are a lot of other issues that deserve it a lot more."
"I'm not worried. It's a sleepy little town," added Michelle Worthy, resident. "I feel safe."
"You know, things have changed," said Bob Webb. who visits Tupelo frequently. "I'm 75 years old. This stuff didn't happen way back."
FOX13 News reporter Kristin Tallent contributed to this report from Tupelo, Miss.

abnormal period followed by sore breasts, tired, nausea, bloated fingers,?
Major hormonal imbalance I persume, cause bf had a vasectomy 2 years ago. What to do about this?
Answer by ♪ ♥ Sydney ♪ ♥
What does your boyfriend's vasectomy have to do with your symptoms? If anything, his vasectomy should remove any doubt in your mind that you may be pregnant.
In any case, you should see a doctor. It does sound like some sort of hormonal imbalance or something…or maybe somehow you are pregnant? (You didn't specify how the period was abnormal)
Answer by slick25
You might want to get a pregnancy test to make sure but hun you might be pregnant. the swollen fingers are a little ackward so if you are not pregnant then I would suggest seeing a doctor for that.
Answer by riverstar
first things first take a pg test vasectomy can go back together then see doc
Answer by heavensent143
ur symptoms is saying that you're pregnant. Get a pregnancy test and get it check. If negative, then go to the doctor.
Answer by purple

nausea tired: abnormal period followed by sore breasts, tired, nausea, bloated fingers,?
cramps, bloating, sore nipples, nausea, tired..?
Ok so my period is never regular, can't remember the last one that I had. I have to take birth control just to regulate, but for several months I wasn't on any at all. I just started it again because I was afraid of getting pregnant. So now i'm constantly nauseous, tired, bloated, cramping, have frequent headaches, tender nipples, moody, and hungry. Is this just the birth control or should I be taking a preggo test?
Answer by The Great and Powerful Oz
Take a pregnancy test.
Answer by hotshot7897
take a pregnancy test these are all symptoms of pregnancy and if your not well then your not u got nothing to lose
hope this helps
Answer by Flower Child
Sounds like you're experiencing being a girl. That time of the month can really suck and it sounds like you've called all the crappy period symptoms! You could take a pregnancy test if you really wanted to just to make sure you aren't pregnant, but it really just sounds like good ol' PMS.
Answer by NYSEMT307
Could be the hormones in the pills and your body just isn't used to it, but I would definitely take a test. Those are common symptoms of pregnancy. A pregnancy test is not very expensive, or you can see your GYN about it. If it is the pills, you should look into getting a different type or dose because it sounds like your body is not handling the hormones well (if you aren't pregnant). There are many types of birth control pills and finding the right one for your body can be time consuming and includes a lot of trial and error.
Answer by Tapas
Yeah, take a test to rule it out. It could be the pill, and if so, you are on the wrong one. Did you know that Planned Parenthood is like a pill specialist? You can make an appointment with them to discuss what you are normally like, what is happening on this pill, and what you would like to be free of–symptom-wise.
Or, maybe the doctor who prescribed these pills can help you.
You shouldn't have to deal with all these symptoms if it is the pill causing them.
nausea tired: cramps, bloating, sore nipples, nausea, tired..?

Watching #1 singles player Steven Johnson defeat Dukes Henrique Cunha (#5 ranked player) 6-4, 6-0, it was like he was just hanging around, then decided to run all over Cunda. This was only the sixth match of the year that Cunda has lost and was the 2nd time he played Johnson (4-6, 3-3 unfinished), in a Feb match at the indoors. This time Johnson put the pedal to the metal and won his 23rd and 63rd match in a row, totally dominating men's NCAA tennis. In the second set Cunda couldn't handle Steves first serves (as a friend of mine said Steves serves were bouncing up to 6' plus up to 130) and then Johnson started owning the returns, along with most of the points played.
But the first player to finish was Danny Nguyen with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Torsten Wietoska who he beat 4&2 back in the Feb. indoor match, Dan is one of USC most reliable players in the NCAA tournament matches. Then Emilo Gomez was then next player to cash in with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Fred Saba, for USC to go up 3-0. Then Duke pulled out a win at #5, but it was Steve Johnson for the final point. USC will face Ucla a 4-2 winner over OSU tomorrow at 5:00 est--2 pac, Plus a word from Danny Nguyen USC academic all district player after the jump.

Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nora and I do not usually give each other expensive presents but I made an exception at Christmas when I bought her a Kindle. It was getting embarrassing because she kept borrowing mine and commenting on how much porn I was reading.
I asked her all through January and February, "Have you used your Kindle yet?"
"No, I've been too busy."
"Too busy even for my shorter stories?"
"I haven't figured out how to download any yet. What I want to read isn't on the Kindle."
She was reading the letters of the Mitford sisters. It was taking her an age. So in March I stopped asking. I never expected that in April she would go behind my back and figure out how to download Fifty Shades Darker. A paid version. Not like the free Fifty Shades of Grey I gave her.
"I hope you're not becoming addicted to bad writing," I told her.
"Is it bad writing?" she asked innocently.
"Susan Hill says so."
"Who's she?"
"She's an English novelist. She says women who read it should be ashamed of themselves. It's not just porn. It's badly-written porn."
"I don't think anyone should feel ashamed. All women have desires. But the sex in this one isn't arousing anymore."
"What? You've grown tired of it already? You need something more hardcore now?"
"Well, it's like in a horror film that starts off with a very scary image. But then you keep on seeing it and it stops being scary."
"Isn't it also because it's badly written?"
"No, I don't think it's badly written. Well, I can't judge. I can't write English. I can't write a sex scene. I can do it but I can't write it. How do you write it without repeating any words?"
"But you're still enjoying it?"
"I enjoyed the story. I wanted to know what happened."
"Enjoyed? Have you finished it already?"
"I'm reading the next one now."
"I'm a very quick reader."
"No you're not. You were reading that Nancy Mitford book for months."
"Well, this is different. It's full of clichés but you want to know what happens next. Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger."
"Oh no!"
"Don't worry. I'll read another of your stories eventually."
I ran straight to my room, fell onto my bed, shoes and all, and howled. I curled up, desperately clutching my black silk blindfold, and surrendered myself to my grief.
Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I took a week off from the tough business of writing explicit sex stories last week and went to the London Book Fair. I was hoping to forget about sex completely and meet a suave, European intellectual who could talk to me about concertina folds, bump exposure and blind embossing. Instead I was handed a free copy of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Naturally I started reading it as soon as I got home. Not at the beginning, of course. I'm far too impatient for that. I wanted the sex.
It didn't take me long to discover that the book was a page-turner.
Disturbed by the wails coming from my room, my flat-mate, Nora, banged on the door and burst in. "What's wrong?" she demanded.
"Holy cow!" I cried. "Take this book away from me, please!"
"Is it that bad?"
"No, it's that good! I can't waste time with this shit, I've got my own shit to write."
That was six days ago. Tonight Nora came into the kitchen. "I've finished that book," she said breezily.
"So quick?"
"Yes. I've never read a book so quick in my life!" (Nora is a slow reader.)
"And? What's your opinion? It was crap, wasn't it?"
"No, actually it was quite good."
"You enjoyed it?" (Incomprehension.)
"Well, the BDSM stuff was a turn-off. I just like normal sex. But the normal sex was not bad, actually."
"Tell me more. I promised Random House I'd write a review."
"Well, there is nothing new in this novel, but it brings together many things from elsewhere that I think readers want. I'm a reader, after all. I'm not a writer. So, as a reader I have to say it's not bad. I mean, many women, I would say, have the fantasy that a handsome man, a rich man, quite a clever man, actually, falls in love with her and pursues her. It may be unrealistic, but it's a common fantasy, and, well, my first boyfriend was handsome but it didn't work out with him and my next one — "
"Yes, yes, people don't want to hear about your love life, Nora. Stick to the novel. Was it a good plot?"
"Yes. I thought the story was very well done."
"Would you read the next one?"
[Blank stare.]
"There are three!" I told her. "Would you read number two in the series?"
Her eyes lit up disconcertingly. "Yes, probably."
"You would?" [Disbelief.]
"Yes, why not?"
"How many stars would you give it?"
"For Goodreads. How many stars out of five?"
"Oh, four at least."
"Really? Not three?"
"Oh no! Four."
"Five, even?"
"No, it wasn't that good! Four."
"Phew, but my books get five, don't they?"
"Oh yes, she can't write as well as you."
Thank goodness for that! My inner goddess was doing the merengue with a zumba shimmy.
La Chamade by Françoise Sagan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I felt supremely intellectual and sensitive while I was reading this book, all the more so because I read most of it while standing in the queue for the David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. Not that David Hockney is an intellectual. But the standard of badinage in the queues at the Royal Academy is generally pretty high.
I should also point out that the edition I was reading was not chosen lightly. I settled on the translation by Robert Westhoff only after a protracted internal struggle.
Nevertheless, although I liked this book and couldn't fault individual sentences, it didn't hold my attention as much as I'd hoped.
The dialogue is a bit precious. There is some wan and winsome philosophizing. The characters drift along in a haze of amorality, without too much to do. But there are some very sensual descriptions, which I adored. Chapter 7 is very good, for example. It's only a page and a half but it has sentences like this:
I'll never be able to meet you without blushing," said Lucile, "or see you leave without feeling pain, or speak to you in public without turning my eyes away."
and this:
As she turned, he closed his fingers and held the lower part of her face, almost fiercely for a second, her mouth pressed to his palm. Gazing at each other, they wordlessly promised to have thousands of such moments together, no matter what happened."
Even in English this is very French: classic, simple, understated and intense.
The English have more words but, as one of the characters states in the (very short) closing chapter, "where poetry is concerned, France reigns supreme."
Françoise Sagan is perhaps not the greatest French writer but she does justice to the tradition of beautiful, clear, poignant love stories into which she was born.
Impressed by the furious wanking

The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
English men can be very complicated, especially if they've had a good education, as Julian Barnes proves in this short, pithy, ironic story of an English man looking back on his life.
The language is exemplary. The jokes are elegant. The sensibility is refined. The wanking is furious.
And then there's the philosophy…
Julian Barnes's real-life English teacher once said, "Of course everyone's worried about what happens when Ted Hughes runs out of animals."
"We thought it was the wittiest thing we had ever heard," Barnes confessed in an interview in the Paris Review (Winter 2000).
The fictional Tony Webster's English teacher says the same thing and Tony finds himself thinking about it often over the years. But Ted Hughes never did run out of animals. That's the really funny and wonderful thing.
Our lifelong concerns are often misguided, aren't they? The things that impressed us when we were young turn out to be facile in the end.
In fact this story is a kind of meditation on how our memories distort reality, if reality is, indeed, ever in a state that could be said to be undistorted. How much of what is passing for reality do we actually understand? How much is fact, how much is fiction, how much is simple ignorance? Or complicated ignorance, if you've had an English public school education.
Is Tony Webster Julian Barnes?
Probably not. Tony Webster is bald and Julian Barnes has a full head of hair. Or so it seems.
But the questions go on.
Do the people who read this story understand it? Some of them do. But if you take a look at the reviews on some websites, you will see that a lot of people missed the point. Some have even made up completely different stories based on an unfathomable logic all their own.
If I were Julian Barnes I would probably sigh and hold my beautifully coiffured head in my hands and wonder if it was all worth it.
And then I'd probably write an elliptical, poignant, ironic novel about how elusive philosophically self-evident truths can be.
Too funny for words
Posted March 16, 2012on:
Excuse Me Where Is The Exit? by Stella Deleuze
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Life is a lot funnier than a TV sitcom. It's all a question of attitude.
Stella Deleuze has oodles of attitude.
Take her little piece on cycling. Cyclists are a pest. Cyclists ignore traffic lights. Cyclists hiss at you and speed up in situations where motorists would brake. Cyclists don't have brakes. They have SOMETHING TO PROVE. German cyclists are the worst because they always have the right of way, even on the pavement, and especially on the piece of pavement that you happen, in your ignorance, to have strayed onto just before they hurtle into you at 25 miles per hour from behind.
Stella is a German cyclist but does this bother her? Not at all.
"Pedestrians are worse than tanks," she writes.
But she is also lovely. Because Stella doesn't behave like a cyclist. She behaves like a human being.
She uses the brakes for the bloody idiots. She actually stops at traffic lights. She admits her failings. When she is nearly killed by a bus it is, of course, her fault. When a confused Frenchman stumbles out of a taxi straight into her path, she forgives him. "He'll have the bruises after all," she concedes.
Which is why you can't stop laughing.
But humour is a personal thing so I gave this book the acid test. I read some of it aloud to my flatmate.
Howls of laughter.
Kindle stolen again while I was out.
It's really hard to find a book that makes you split your sides laughing. Especially when you share it with someone. Keep this one to yourself. Don't read it in public. And don't read it out loud.
The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by John Joseph Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wasn't expecting much of The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, to be honest. I listened to a quite well written introduction by, I presume, John Joseph Adams, which was read by someone who insisted on pronouncing Moriarty as Moriarity about fifteen times, which didn't bode well.
But the stories themselves were surprisingly good. I haven't listened to them all yet but I really look forward to them and most of the time I'm not disappointed. I like listening in the dark. Some of them are very spooky. They are also witty in a way, playing upon our expectations. They've all been published before in some form so they have a pedigree. There are some great writers here and some Victoriana specialists, so the standard is generally very high.
So if you like Sherlock Holmes (I love him!) and you're open-minded, give it a try. The stories are a little improbable but that's why they're fun. Even die-hard fans of Sir Arthur (I'm one!) won't be disappointed by these re-workings of the famous Conan Doyle canon.
(Everyone who reviews this book has to mention the Conan Doyle canon.)
Give the pleasure dial a twirl!
Posted January 11, 2012on:
The Pleasure Dial by Jeremy Edwards
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In a sense this book gets my highest recommendation because I lent it and my Kindle to my flatmate when she asked me to suggest some light bedtime reading. I don't like recommending books and especially not dirty ones so I hope you appreciate what a rare gesture this was.
Did my flatmate like it? She did. She agreed that it was funny, light, charming, and erotic. It's sexy without being shameful and clever without making any demands.
It reminded me of the works of P.G. Wodehouse, which are likewise peopled with charming eccentrics, deftly plotted and perfectly paced. I was tempted to dub Jeremy Edwards the P.G. Wodehouse of porn but this story is too innocent to be porn and if it's like P.G. Wodehouse, it's P.G. Wodehouse not quite at the top of his form.
Of course, the comparison with a writer of genius is unfair, but, like The Pleasure Dial itself, ultimately irresistible.
So, go on, give Jeremy's Pleasure Dial a twirl!
House of Night #1 by P.C. Cast
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I had mixed feelings about this comic, which is based on a series of novels I haven't read.
At first I hated the teenage stereotyping of the main characters. Do American teenage girls really squabble like this about boys? Are they really this shallow and feckless?
Then I hated the misappropriation of some of the world's great mythic stories – Nyx, Persephone, Freya, et cetera.
But above all I disliked the way this story tames and domesticates the myth of the evil blood sucking vampire. This a more general trend in modern American teenage fiction so I suppose there's nothing we can do about it but it saddens me deeply to see a powerful symbolic creature sapped of its life force in this way.
Then I smoothed my wrinkled brow and thought about it objectively. The story is coherent and works well as a metaphor for the journey into womanhood. Blood and lust are forever co-mingled in the adolescent female psyche. Establishing a finishing school in the heart of suburbia where primeval sexual urges can be understood and assimilated through archetypal mythic images is probably not a bad thing. I see nothing wrong with creating the conditions in which sexualised women are not seen as a threat to society, and this story helps to do that quite well.
The drawings are very good, particularly the ones set in mythical Norway, which are by Karl Kerschl.
So, all in all, it's an intriguing little comic, which I ended up liking more the more I thought about it. I won't be reading the novels, though, hahahahaha!
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year Volume 4 by Jonathan Strahan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
What is the point of fantasy? I'll tell you. It's there to give reviewers of hard core pornography something to plug the gap after their sexual appetites have been slaked and they find themselves at a loose end in the middle of a long, lonely, sleepless night. So, having been afflicted with a lazy libido recently, I picked up a copy of The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year Volume 4 by Jonathan Strahan published by Nightshade Books of San Francisco.
I have to tell you, I needed to pop some stamina pills just to get it home. It's a substantial slab and not quite the ticket when you're feeling under par. But I've been brainwashed by all those blogs about how books are dying and, feeling sorry for traditional publishers, I thought that even if the stories were flimsy, at least this book had a feel, a heft and a smell. What a feel and what a heft! Though the smell, in all fairness, is so-so.
Kij Johnson has two stories in this volume, so there's a better than average chance, if you flick through it at random, that you'll stop at one of hers. My flicking was not quite at random. I scanned the contents pages and did some incredibly fast and semi-random computations using a secret Chinese arithmetic formula to find the shortest story, and it turned out to be Spar.
Oh, God!
It begins:
"In the tiny lifeboat, she and the alien fuck endlessly, relentlessly."
My first thought was "I'd better write a review of this." My second thought was "Amazon won't let me post it."
There in the first sentence is the whole plot of the story. That's it, really. She and the alien just fuck relentlessly.
Next I read what is probably the second-shortest story, called Ferryman by Margo Lanagan. The plot of this was quite sophisticated. In fact it drew me in and I enjoyed it, even though I was half-asleep (and emotionally drained after all that fucking.) But being half asleep is appropriate when reading a story about Lethe.
Jo Walton cheated with her story, which would have been the shortest in the collection if she hadn't cobbled it together from three stories. It's called Three Twilight Tales. It was pretty good.
I started to read JoBoy by Diana Wynne Jones next but I dozed off and can't remember a thing about it.
You'll have to read the rest of the stories for yourself and form your own opinion because, let's face it, it's an anthology. It's for dipping into as and when…
But I'll only give it 3 stars because I've also been reading a much more exciting collection of stories all of which, by the way, happen to have been written by the same man, and they're all brilliant, so why on earth he isn't represented in this so-called "best of…" is a question I'd like to put to Jonathan Strahan at some point, preferably when I'm feeling stronger, as he has quite a heft himself, though I know nothing of his feel and smell.
The best cure for self-abuse

High Spirits: A Collection of Ghost Stories by Robertson Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
One of my big regrets in life is that I haven't read enough of Robertson Davies's novels.
He is one of the writers I discovered for myself in my lonely journey towards literacy and, not knowing anything about him or the literary tradition to which he belonged, I found it very hard to prioritise his novels in my many long lists of books that I wanted and needed to read.
I discovered later that it's because he's Canadian. Ah, you see, we didn't have WordPress when I began my long literary journey, and the English influences that I encountered were very parochial.
I should have had more confidence in my own judgement and relied less on English academic literary criticism. A lesson all students of literature should take to heart.
Luckily I can console myself for this neglect by picking up this slim volume of ghost stories and read one a year, which is how they were written.
They are hilarious. Hilarity is the best antidote to lugubrious literary self-abuse. The stories are also intensely literate and being able to understand the humour makes me feel unusually well-read.

If you are the spouse, child or friend of someone with untreated hearing loss, you may think you're helping them by repeating yourself, making extra effort to speak louder or more clearly, or by interpreting what others say. What you may not realize is that you're unknowingly assisting in their failure to seek help.
Many people with hearing loss don't realize how much they're actually missing because you have become their ears. However, it takes only a short time for them to realize that, without your help, they're in trouble. Here are some simple steps you can take to help your friend or loved one get the help they need:
Research has also shown that hearing instruments do have a significant impact on interpersonal relationships and overall quality of life. Specifically, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) surveyed 4000 hearing impaired individuals and their family members and found:

Comic Book Resources spoke with J Torres about JINX: LITTLE MISS STEPS, the second volume in the Jinx series on sale tomorrow. In this follow-up to the first Jinx graphic novel, we see a teenage Jinx Holliday deal with choosing a date for the spring dance as well as coming to terms with some shocking revelations on the home front. In addition to these more mature themes, the classic character also deals with trying out for the boys' baseball team and having a relationship with her single father, Hap. J Torres states that "It's still fairly 'wholesome' but maybe more like a teen sitcom than an Archie comic."
The article also features exclusive preview pages from the graphic novel as well as teaser images.
Get your copy in comic shops tomorrow or order it here. For more background on the Jinx character, check out the first Jinx graphic novel and the Li'l Jinx digital exclusive.

Dougherty County - A woman fell asleep at the wheel on the Liberty Expressway Wednesday afternoon.
Her car crossed the median into oncoming traffic, but amazingly, she didn't crash into anyone else.
Vicki Giet of Leesburg was headed north near the Dougherty/Mitchell line this morning when she dozed off.
She crossed into southbound lanes then ran off the road and hit some trees. She was not seriously injured.
Giet is charged with driving too fast for conditions and failure to maintain a lane. Giet was driving in a work zone.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Dozens of soldiers gathered Monday at Camp Shelby to dedicate the original site of what used to be the headquarters of an infantry division from Pennsylvania during World War II.
"About 70 years ago this was filled with temporary buildings," said Maj. Gen. Wesley Craig of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
He described the grounds looked like back in 1945 during WWII.
"It would be filled with tens of thousands of soldiers," he said.
Camp Shelby officials held a special ceremony today to honor those men of the 28th Infantry Division of Pennsylvania.
"This has become an intricate part of our history," Craig said. "On this spot was where the 28th division from Pennsylvania came in August of 1945 as they demobilized."
Today's 'Iron Soldiers' from that same division are preparing to go home from Afghanistan. Craig said it teaches them a good lesson.
"It tells my young solders who just stood here that 68 years ago there grandfathers probably who took part in WWII who came through this place, now here they are doing the same thing," he said.
A plaque will be left on the sight to remember those soldiers.

In a back-and-forth battle, the Michigan State Spartans edged the Kansas Jayhawks, 67-64, in the final seconds to win Tuesday night.
Junior guard Keith Appling split the Kansas defense and scooped in a layup to give the Spartans the 67-64 lead with 12.6 seconds to play, and the Jayhawks couldn't get a tying three to fall as time was running out. Appling led the Spartans with 19 points.
The Spartans, as they did most of the night, fell behind, 59-54, with about five minutes left to play in the contest. Following a timeout, they ripped off an 8-0 run to reclaim the lead. With a one-point lead and less than two minutes to go, Appling drilled a three-pointer to give Michigan State the 65-61 lead.
With less than a minute to play, Ben McLemore got the Jayhawks back within one after making a layup, getting fouled and converting the free throw. Following another Spartans timeout, Appling's layup gave Michigan State the deciding 67-64 lead after Kansas couldn't get the last second three-pointer to drop.
The Jayhawks held a 35-32 lead at the break after a tooth-and-nail opening half in which the biggest lead for either side was Kansas's five-point, 33-28, lead. The second half began with Kansas jumping out to a 40-34 advantage early on before Michigan State again began to battle back.

State of the Region Report Examines Issues from Local Economy to Light Rail
Old Dominion University's 11th annual State of the Region report, released on Wednesday, Oct. 6, examines a wide array of Hampton Roads issues, ranging from the state of the economy to light rail.
Published by ODU's Regional Studies Institute, the report also looks at the regional markets for office and industrial space, and compares the Port of Virginia to its competitors on the East Coast.
In addition, the 166-page publication issues a report card on Vision Hampton Roads' "dashboard" of critical performance variables in areas such as education and the economy. It also examines partisan politics in the region, and goes inside two of the area's top attractions to see how they're doing and what changes are forthcoming: the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center and the Chrysler Museum of Art. Finally, the report considers the state of cinema in Hampton Roads, exploring its history and speculating on its future.
James V. Koch, Board of Visitors Professor of Economics and President Emeritus, serves as editor of the report, which received financial support from Old Dominion and a number of local organizations and individuals. Koch notes that the report does not constitute an official viewpoint of the university.
"The State of the Region reports maintain the goal of stimulating thought and discussion that ultimately will make Hampton Roads an even better place to live," he said. "We are proud of our region's many successes, but realize it is possible to improve our performance. In order to do so, we must have accurate information about 'where we are' and a sound understanding of the policy options available to us."
The 2010 report is divided into nine parts. Among its findings are:
We are slowly recovering from the worldwide recession. However, both the port and tourism are sputtering and defense spending may decelerate in the future.
Vacancy rates are high, especially for industrial space, and lease rates have fallen. Times are tough and may remain so for the foreseeable future.
Over the past decade, the Port of Virginia has slipped to third place on the East Coast behind Savannah, Ga. Perhaps we can reverse this by means of Norfolk Southern Corp.'s Heartland Corridor and the recent lease acquisition of the APM Maersk facility in Portsmouth.
Building The Tide hasn't bankrupted Norfolk because of significant federal funding. Paying to operate The Tide, however, could be quite painful if the experience of other regions provides a clue.
All things considered, the Chrysler Museum of Art, our regional cultural treasure, is doing well as it adjusts to new financial and cultural realities.
Despite attracting 700,000 visitors annually, the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is not familiar to many people. However, it is positioned to play a role in the economic development of a key area of Virginia Beach.
The "movies" have been turned upside down over the past half century by television, the Internet, movie rentals and changing customer tastes. It may not necessarily be a good time to be in the movie house business, but it is a superb time to watch an unprecedented variety of movies.
Once dominated by Democrats and more recently by Republicans, Hampton Roads has become a swing region politically. Currently, we are disadvantaged by an absence of legislator seniority in Richmond and Washington.
Vision Hampton Roads' "dashboard" of critical performance variables, which helps us determine how we really are doing in areas such as education and the economy, contains a report card of mixed grades.
The 2010 State of the Region report, as well as the reports from 2000 through 2009, can be found on the Web at www.odu.edu/forecasting. Single paper copies may be purchased for $25 at www.jamesvkoch.com.

Creating Titles
If you don't see two dotted boxes in the Monitor, choose Window > Title Window Options and check Show Safe Titles to see the title safe (the smaller box) and action safe guidelines (the bigger box). Make sure any titles you create fall completely withing the title safe box. This ensures that they won't be cut off or distorted by the TV monitor when your video is viewed.
Choose File > New Title.
Click on Timeline, double-click on a clip to open in clip window. Find an appropriate frame and drag it into the Title window. It's there only for reference (the above example has no reference image).
Use the Text tool in the Title window to enter text.
Click on the Selection tool to set the text, then adjust color, size, font, text box window size, etc. You can also use the left and right Arrow keys to nudge the text into place.
Remember, right-clicking on the PC will bring up the context-sensitive menu for options.
To add a drop shadow, click and drag on the T icon below the Title window tool bar.
Save the Title (into a Graphics Bin in the Project Window), and close it out.
To put a title on your video, drag the title from the project window into Video 2 track over the clip you want to add it to. To check it, put the cursor in the Timeline's timecode area at the point you want to preview, and hit Alt-click to render and preview one frame. Keep the mouse depressed, and you can move back and forth in the Timeline to see how it looks over a few frames.
To fade in the title, open the Video 2 track by clicking on the little arrow. You'll see a red line, which acts like a little rubber band. Put your cursor over the rubber band until the finger tool appears. Click at the point you want the fade-in to be complete. Then move to the end of the red line, get the finger tool, click and slide it down to the bottom. To fade out the clip, do the same on the other end. To check, do Alt-click and hold down the mouse while scrubbing over the clip.
Render the the entire title on the timeline to see the entire effect.

Notre Dame's Brian Kelly of course sells himself short here in his pre-match promo against Michigan coach Brady Hoke. Any man capable of creating a face colored in this fashion is a man to be feared inside the squared circle or any other circle, no matter how many Michigan fans have already very gently defaced said circle.
But, oh, Hoke's retort:
Brian Kelly on Brady Hoke: "In terms of a wrestling match, he's as big as he's ever been, so he's going to beat me on that one."— Brian Hamilton (@ChiTribHamilton) September 18, 2012
Hoke on @stoneyandbill about Brian Kelly calling him big: "I think I am. Large, husky, whatever. Chris Farley, whatever."— Mark Snyder (@Mark__Snyder) September 20, 2012
Hoke reminded that he was a wrestler when he was younger, but joked "if they have turnbuckles, I'd come off the top."— Mark Snyder (@Mark__Snyder) September 20, 2012
Let us also never forget that Brady Hoke called himself Chris Farley-ish. That's probably the most important thing that happened all week.

Felix Jones has not had a great offseason, to put it lightly. After failing a conditioning test, Jones has done nothing to acquit himself in two preseason outings. Granted, it is just the preseason. But DeMarco Murray and a few capable backups make Felix expendable and if we can upgrade our roster via trade, it makes sense to at least explore the possibility. But who could we get in return? (DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if any of these proposed trades are anywhere close to realistic or appealing to the teams mentioned. I tried to keep from saying things like, "We should trade Felix for DeCastro DERP!")
Make the leap to see some targets.
Doug Legursky, C/G, Pittsburgh Steelers - 6'1", 315 lbs, 26 years old
A young, versatile backup who has filled in at both guard and center. Pittsburgh has the center position locked down with Pouncey. Pitt's starting RB, Rashard Mendenhall, is banged up. Would Legursky be an upgrade on the interior? Let's just say that while he may be a backup in Pittsburgh, he'd start in Big D.
James Jones, WR, Green Bay Packers - 6'1", 208 lbs, 28 years old
Green Bay has a very crowded receiving corps and will most likely have to make a move with at least one talented WR towards the final cuts. Jones is a talented receiver who could make for an even better version of Laurent Robinson. Green Bay also has injuries and ineffectiveness in their RB corps, recently resorting to signing Cedric Benson.
Jason Fox, T/G, Detroit Lions - 6'7", 303 lbs, 24 years old
Taken in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Fox is healthy this year for the first time in his career. Has practiced at both tackle and guard. A talented player at Miami, Fox started the third most games in a career (47) amongst linemen for the Hurricanes. Would definitely be a swing-for-the-fences type trade due to his injury-plagued first two years in Detroit. Detroit has depth at his position and injury concerns at RB.
Uche Nwaneri, G, Jacksonville Jaguars - 6'3", 318 lbs, 28 years old
Born in Garland, TX, so he's got that going for him. Has started since 2008, his second year in the league. In 2009 he was officially credited with giving up one half-sack and was called for zero penalties. Jacksonville is currently in a nasty contract dispute with holdout Maurice Jones-Drew and the franchise has consistently stated that they are not going to cave to MJD's contract demands. Adding a RB like Felix Jones would certainly send a loud message.
These are just a few targets with which I'd be comfortable. What say you BTB?

One of the saddest cities in America?
So you're thinking, what kind of nonsense is that, right?
And a local group of 'do-gooders' is hoping to change that light-hearted label with balloons, flowers and smiles.
"Everybody can do it every day. I think it's a personal responsibility," says Robin Williams, one of four 'Happy in the SBC' ambassadors who recently met to discuss how to make Shreveport-Bossier a happier place to live.
Sarah Stewart organized the meeting after reading a KSLA news report about a group of Vermont researchers who gauged negativity from Twitter tweets and Facebook posts, and ranked Shreveport as the 4th saddest city in the country.
"If we can demonstrate our happiness and share it, not only do we get happiness as well, but it's contagious," adds Stewart.
During their meeting at Strawn's Eat Shop in Bossier City, 'Happy in the SBC' members passed out smiley buttons and flowers to locals eating breakfast. One of the locals eating breakfast that morning at Strawn's was Pastor Denny Duron of Community Church, along with his friend Dr. Fred Lowery, the former pastor at First Baptist Church of Bossier City.
"I think it's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. We need more people passing out smiley faces and flowers in the world," said Duron.
Dr. Lowery quickly added, "Most people want things but they're not willing to do anything to make it happen. So I think it's incredible. I love it."
Click on 'Happy in the SBC' to learn more about their efforts on their Facebook page.
Days later, they hit the Louisiana Boardwalk in Bossier and passed our big yellow balloons.

The Work Program Office offers financial support for student work crew members and supervisors to participate in development opportunities. These opportunities range from taking continuing education classes to giving presentations at national conferences, attending expos and participating in skill enhancing workshops.
Federal Work Study Funds are used to make up the Work Program Funding. This money provided by the government is used to promote the work-study experience as a tool in your education. The Work Program Office is interested in knowing how the development event will help you to integrate your specific work, academic and/or service learning experience.
The Work Program Office funds can be used to cover registration, transportation, food and lodging for these events.
All funding requests must be received at least two weeks prior to the event or the latest registration date.
Email completed forms to:
Ellen Graves - firstname.lastname@example.com
or put forms in campus mail box #6325.
After returning from the event, each participant is required to write a reflection. Reflections are due to the Work Program Office within two weeks of returning from the event.
Why write a reflection? Part of the Work Program Funds come from federal money and all federal money received and dispensed by the College is subject to federal audits. These audits need to find evidence that the federal dollars were spent on authorized programs. Reflections on the educational value of the program attended will establish that the money was spent appropriately.
Contact Ellen Graves through email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 828-771-3018.

Hamilton's Curse by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
History can be a funny thing. Sometimes the sands of time obscure facts from those with only a passing knowledge of the truth.
So it is with some of the Founding Fathers. As a group they are revered by many for their knowledge, wisdom and forethought. They are seen as selfless defenders of liberty.
But that view is not completely accurate. Take the case of Alexander Hamilton, described by Thomas J. DiLorenzo in Hamilton's Curse as essentially the anti-Thomas Jefferson—a man who would be pleased with America's economic system today.
Hamilton's Curse is not a biography of Hamilton. Rather it describes "his core political and economic ideas; the intellectual, legal, and political battles over those ideas; and the consequences America has suffered since his ideas were implemented," DiLorenzo writes.
Although he was a principal author of The Federalist Papers and championed the adoption of the United States Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation, he began to work immediately to undermine its tenants as President George Washington's first Treasury Secretary.

Welcome to Shuktara
Shuktara is a charity based in Kolkata, India, which provides care for children and young people with disabilities who have no family to take care of them.
It was not long ago that we welcomed Muniya to Lula Bari, our girls home here in Kolkata. A month later in March 2014 Raja Singh was brought to our boys home.
They have both settled in really well and are now enrolled at REACH school. Raja is in the Deaf Unit and Muniya in their Special Education Department.
As you can see from the photos they really are now part of a family. The trauma of being abandoned by their own families is part of their past and they have a bright future to look forward to.

Hey all, I'll be in Denver on Jan. 9th with no car, so I'm looking to share a ride down to Ouray for the festival. I'm all for splitting gas costs with whomever can fit me in their car...

Well I was going to offer a seat in my miata but if you're going to get all picky about it you can walk.,.
You're a funny guy, Dave. Your Fit has about the same footprint as a Miata, but there's no way in hell I'd turn it down. Maybe you should drive up from Telluride to scoop me.

nice seat, well made and sturdy.. don't know what the others are complaining about with "no instructions" it's a seat with straps.. strap it to something or weld some bars to your UTV and strap it to that..
No instrutions included. Haven't figured out how to fasten it on yet.
Seat came without any mounting hardware or instructions or contact information to contact the manufacturer about the product I finally had to resort to building my own seat mounting bracket after I could not find any mount on the Internet from anyone
