Company provides critical care transport, advanced life support transport, basic life support transport, 911 transport, and non-emergency transport in one of the largest markets in the US. Company has been growing rapidly this year and is expanding into new markets.
According to the company, expenditures for emergency and non-emergency ambulance services in the united states are estimated to be approximately $15 billion annually. An aging population, increased outsourcing of ambulance services to private companies and advancements in emergency-care technologies have been the key drivers behind the strong industry performance. Fiscal shortfalls for state and local governments have pushed an increasing number of healthcare industries to outsource ambulance services to private companies. This privately and locally owned company believes they will continue to benefit from this increased demand and their business plan projects continued rapid growth over the next five years.

Montgomery County, MD
King & King Business Advisors has been appointed exclusive agents for the sale and marketing of this National Brand vehicle sales, leasing and rental business.
The business was opened in the year 1989. The owner is still active in the day to day affair of the business but has managers at the various site.
Over the past twenty five years this business has grown, expanded, adapted, all in response to changes in the market, economy and business model viability. At the height of it's growth and expansion the business operated from numerous locations in Washington D,C, Maryland and Northern Virginia. The geographic expansion was successful and the company enjoyed gross sales in the millions for several years. However, this expansion didn't come without a significant increase in risk, fixed expenses, payroll cost, occupancy costs associated with multiple locations, repairs and maintenance. At its peak, the business had over hundreds of vehicles deployed in its rental fleet and significant debt which accompanied such expansion and growth.
In 2008 when the economy spiraled into one of the worst recessions in recent history the owner, like many other business owners, took a hard look at his business model and decided to downsize the company significantly to eliminate as much debt as possible, reduce fixed and variable expenses, and reduce risk. The decision he made in 2008 and the path he chose secured the survival of the company. Now, in 2014 the company is leaner, more diversified, profitable and ready to go to the next level. The owner however, is ready to retire.
The company now has fewer locations, several vehicles were sold and/or retired from service and not replaced, employee count was reduced drastically, and now their company enjoys being in a position of profitability with manageable debt and greatly reduced risk.

i remember watching the loony tunes and them digging to china made me want to dig to Africa. a wonderful story (Report) Reply
Stevie Taite
Digging to Australia
My dad has always been a terrible tease.
When I was small,
small enough for a lap not to notice, and small enough to think of things in a simple way, he sold me a tease as a truth....
'Did you know
If you
and keep digging,
you get to Australia? '
'Where Uncle Philips lives? ' I asked.
I remembered the pictures....
The Sun looked a warmer shade of yellow
in Australia. Warmth that made me imagine
sandpits and
ice-cream and
Paddling pools and
grass between wet toes.
It reminded me of
staying out playing, really late, and
smiling sleepily in my bed, whilst the Sun tried hard to bore through my curtains,
on its way down, behind the houses.
These were good things to remember.
I felt let down by the turn in the weather
and the need for a coat that got in the way of play!
It hadn't, of-course
stopped me enjoying
the crunch
of the leafy carpet
the trees had kindly lent.
Their colours
were warmer than
the bite of the air on my ears.
How I missed the gentle kisses of the Sun......
'How long would it take? '
He was not specific with his answer, and he also said that in Australia, everyone was upside down.
'Isn't that a bit awkward and how do they not fall off? '
He said they didn't realise, as a thing called gravity kept them on the ground. I took it as read, although I hoped gravity was sticky enough and wasn't exactly sure how that could work!
He lifted me to the floor and I followed him to the front door. He was never allowed to leave for work until I got my kiss! It was my rule!
Naturally, as any small child would, who does not yet know about the true shape of the Earth, and
the fire at its molten core,
and all the rock
and all the miles,
and fully willing to risk
I fetched my red spade
with the wooden handle
and made a start....
Mum was unhappy
with the hole in her lawn
She told me
that my father
was a terrible tease!
When she explained just the beginnings of how big the Earth truly was,
I cried.
She put the soil back,
and I cried some more.
Then she hugged me.
She also said that she
would be having words
with daddy,
when he got in from work.
Nowadays, I wish I could magically make that tale a reality. I wish it were
easy! !
With a world made so small
by technology
She has found her way
into my heart
through the spirit carried in her words.
I am in wonder at how love could grow so definitely and defiantly
all the way, there and back, from Australia!
I want to dig my way to her,
with my red spade
with the Wooden handle.
You see, I miss her!
Our souls swim together in electromagnet waves.
This is comfort, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful.
But, just as my story started with me, tucked up on my dads lap, and at around mid point, received the gentle squeeze of a loving mummy,
I long to give my Lisa a big fat hug! !
I want to
Link my arm through hers
and walk under the same sky.
Share a bottle
Have a laughing battle
Listen to her talking sense, and nonsense
And of corse,
get up to no good!
One day Lisa, we will meet. I don't believe in heaven and I am not sure I would get a ticket anyway. So it has to be before we pop our clogs! Ok?

What a lovely story Stevie. I too remember being told as a child about digging to Australia. With today's technology it is just a couple of clicks away. Really enjoyed reading this - good work. There are some great sparks of imagination in there too. (Report) Reply

Product description
This title is a winner of a 2008 Teachers' Choice Award! Many children, especially those with developmental delays, have trouble understanding or expressing their feelings. The result can be difficulty with anger management. Listing possible responses to situations - and the likely outcome of each one - allows the child to make informed decisions about which responses to choose (walking away versus hitting). This book provides a guide for caregivers and then the workbook portion asks children to identify situations that trigger their anger and find appropriate ways to respond.

Cheesesteak war
April 10, 2008
SO OBAMA didn't make the obligatory stop at Pat's or Geno's. I applaud him on skipping the two tourist traps that are the McDonald's and Burger King of cheesesteaks in the city. There are other joints to get a great cheesesteak, including Jim's, D'Allessandro's and John's Roast Pork. Bryan Flannery, Chalfont
The war at home
March 15, 2007
WHAT IS HAPPENING to our city? A soldier had to come home from the war to bury his mother. He's been in the Army for 16 years and the last two, he's been defending our country and protecting us against the terrorists. Unfortunately, while he was over in Iraq, no one was looking out for his mother. She was a woman who worked hard trying to make a living for her family, a mother who raised five children, 17 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren - and all she wanted was a ride home.
On Going To War
December 4, 1990
Bejamin Frankin offered his thoughts on the efficacy of war in a letter to one of his sisters written from Philadelphia in 1787. It was selected by Roy Goodman, research librarian of the American Philosophical Society. I agree with you perfectly in your disapprobation of war. Abstracted from the inhumanity of it, I think it is wrong in point of human prudence, for whatever advantage one nation would obtain from another, whether it be part of their territory, the liberty of commerce with them, free passage on their rivers, etc., etc., it would be much cheaper to purchase such advantage with ready money than to pay the expence of acquiring it by war. An army is a devouring monster . . . when you have raised it, you have not only the fair charges of pay, clothing, provision, arms and ammunition, with numberless other contingent and just charges to answer and satisfy, but you have all the additional knavish charges of the numerous tribe of contractors . . .

The Continuing War Over The War In Iraq
April 21, 2003
COLUMNIST Michael Kinsley wonders what an honest opponent of the war should do now (OpEd, April 16). First, most of the organized antiwar groups aren't honest - they are the Socialist Workers Party and the free-Mumia crazies on the far left. Others, though, might admit that they were wrong, and question their weakness of character in always opposing their country. Finally, the Hollywood antiwar crowd like Tim Robbins and Mike Farrell might opt for the ancient Japanese rite of contrition called hara-kiri.
The War In Bosnia
June 2, 1995
Associated Press, KRT Graphics, Defense Dept., United Nations; DAILY NEWS GRAPHIC
Any attempt to rescue the hostages by force would be "an absurd, catastrophic mistake. " - Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic On sending U.S. troops: "As long as the mission was strictly limited for a very narrow purpose and it was something that we could do for them that they couldn't do for themselves, upon proper consultation with Congress, I would be inclined to do that. " - President Clinton "The U.N. mission in Bosnia has failed. It must be withdrawn and the U.S. should not refuse to assist in its withdrawal.
Shifting Face Of War A War Of Weeks Has Suddenly Become A War Of Months.
January 27, 1991
By David Zucchino, Inquirer Washington Bureau
After the first 24 hours, there was the illusion that this war would be easy. But there was a nagging sensation that the antiseptic, technology- controlled script the White House and Pentagon had created was too clean. The euphoria is gone. Now, 11 days into the war, the White House is warning that the conflict may be long and bloody. What America has seen is not the war itself, but the illusion of war. It is war by briefing, not battle. Satellite TV can relay the life and death of a smart bomb, but the war below remains inscrutable.
Youth reflect on war
February 12, 2003
I am writing about the people who are protesting against the war. I think that our President knows what he is doing. . . . All of the protesting is just making his job harder. Anthony Conway There must be other options beside war. I feel President Bush is seeking revenge for, or to complete, what his father was unable to complete. This is the wrong reason for war.

A dissent on Signe's war cartoon
November 10, 2006
SIGNE WILKINSON'S Nov. 8 "Stop the War" editorial cartoon accurately depicts the election results as a clear referendum on the war in Iraq. Nevertheless, her analysis is dead wrong on two fronts. First, Republicans and Democrats alike evidently voted for a change in U.S. policy in Iraq. So the words "Stop the War" ought to be purple. Using blue, over a red map of the U.S., perpetuates a false dichotomy of the electorate with regard to Iraq. Second, the cartoon implies that those who voted Democrat want the war to end, regardless of the situation on the ground.
War & politicos' children
January 31, 2003
HAS ANYONE considered researching how many presidents since FDR have had sons of eligible draft age? Almost every president has had some dealings with war. However, none, to my knowledge, has had sons who enlisted, fought or were eligible to fight in an existing war during their term. Most presidents, Kennedy excluded (John was only 3), had daughters. I believe presidents, congressmen and senators would exhibit a different mind-set if their sons were going off to war. Regina Powell, Lansdowne

Ending the Uber wars
November 19, 2014
Inquirer Editorial Board
Is the technology-powered transportation network UberX a dangerous "illegal hack taxi" service, as Philadelphia Parking Authority chieftain Vince Fenerty quaintly insisted in a recent Inquirer op-ed? Or is it a forward-looking taxi alternative that, as a spokesman insists, merely provides "the safe and reliable rides that Pennsylvanians need and deserve"? According to a paradoxical Public Utility Commission ruling last week, it's both. The commission gave Uber, the San Francisco-based company whose low-cost ride-sharing network is called UberX, a two-year license to provide its presumably safe and reliable rides throughout most of the commonwealth.
Split verdict in case of ex-officer accused of illegally detaining war vet
November 16, 2014
By Dylan Purcell and Mike Newall, Inquirer Staff Writers
In a split verdict, a former Philadelphia police officer was acquitted Friday of falsely imprisoning a man in Center City last year. Kevin Corcoran was also found not guilty on charges of official oppression, but the jury found him guilty of a misdemeanor charge of obstruction. Corcoran, who was a 10-year veteran, sat quietly in the courtroom in a dark-blue suit while jurors deliberated into the afternoon over charges that he handcuffed and improperly detained Roderick King of Lansdale, an Air Force veteran.
Fired Philly cop found guilty of obstruction of justice for 2013 arrest of war veteran
November 15, 2014
BY MENSAH M. DEAN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-568-8278
A Philadelphia jury on Friday convicted former police officer Kevin Corcoran of obstructing justice, a charge that stems from his heated arrest and quick release of an Iraqi War veteran last year. The Common Pleas Court jury of five women and seven men found Corcoran not guilty of two other charges - false imprisonment and official oppression. Corcoran, 34, a 10-year police veteran at the time of his dismissal in March, could receive up to 1-to-2 years in jail when sentenced Jan. 9 by Judge Robert Coleman.
'Rogue' ex-cop goes on trial for false imprisonment of Iraqi War vet
November 14, 2014
BY MENSAH M. DEAN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-568-8278
FORMER Philadelphia police officer Kevin Corcoran, who was fired after making a questionable arrest during a traffic altercation last year, was either a "rogue" cop or an "innocent man" just trying to get home safely to his family. The conflicting portrayals of Corcoran, 34, came during opening statements yesterday in Common Pleas Court, where he is being tried for obstructing the administration of law, official oppression and false imprisonment. The man Corcoran handcuffed and drove to a dark Center City alley at 2 a.m. March 31, 2013, testified that he did nothing illegal and that he felt he was at "the mercy" of an enraged cop. "I was worried because of the way he was acting," said Roderick King, 31. "I was scared that I was not safe.
Congolese war refugees start over in Philadelphia
November 11, 2014
By Michael Matza, Inquirer Staff Writer
One in an occasional series on America's changing face Annonciata Nsenga kicked off her sneakers, stood on a chair, and tapped a nail into a wall of her rented rowhouse in Point Breeze. Eighteen years after she and her husband, Jean Pierre, both Congolese, fled their homeland's violence for a refugee camp in Rwanda - and five months into their new lives in Philadelphia - the rail-thin mother of five finally felt comfortable enough to hang a fresh portrait of the family, dressed nattily, smiling hopefully.
Ghosts of Cold War in Berlin
November 10, 2014
By Michael Milne, For The Inquirer
I was strolling along Bernauer Strasse during a foggy night typical of Berlin. The low-lying mist shrouded the streetlamps, casting sepia shadows on the neighborhood. The hues were reminiscent of old newsreels from August 1963, when this street became a last-gasp escape route for those seeking to flee over the Berlin Wall, a structure that was erected overnight in its initial crude form of concrete blocks and barbed wire. It encircled West Berlin to keep East Germans from escaping to the lone outpost of freedom behind the Iron Curtain.
The war's over. Guess who won?
November 8, 2014
BREAK OUT the Hershey bars and nylons, the war on women is over! Yes, indeed, folks, the hostile aggression against 51 percent of the population by that pseudo-cabal of old men, Supreme Court justices (who are old men) and women-who-can-no-longer-reproduce is over, and we can celebrate the great electoral victory that has delivered us from Republican evil. What's that you say? The wrong side won? The GOP vanquished those valiant defenders of our ovaries? Can it be that we are destined to remain in that reproductive, mommy-track bondage that has stripped us of our humanity?

ROBERT BERGHAIER probably could have been a writer or an artist. He didn't take up either trade, but his son, Robert, said his father, a veteran of two wars, had a discerning eye. "He was very observant," his son said. "He had a very good eye and a gift for being very descriptive. He could process information and tell you exactly what happened. " What happened to Robert Berghaier might have made a good book. He and his son would sit around the kitchen table and the elder Berghaier would regale his son with stories of his adventures, down to the smallest detail.
Honoring Phila.'s Vietnam War medal of honor winner
November 1, 2014
By Edward Colimore, Inquirer Staff Writer
On the steep slopes of Nui Chom, North Vietnamese soldiers were waiting in a stronghold of jungle-obscured bunkers, all of them bristling with machine guns. They trained their barrels on an approaching squad of Americans in 1968, then unleashed a storm of automatic gunfire that quickly killed two soldiers and pinned down the rest. That's when Michael J. Crescenz, 19, of Philadelphia, picked up an M60 machine gun and single-handedly rushed the bunkers, taking out three of them and killing six enemy soldiers.

Divergent Evolution, where two closely related species develop wildly different traits over time. Here it means an act of Character Development wherein a character who was extremely similar to another character is given his or her own identity. This is extremely common in video games, where characters who were originally identical to the lead (usually to allow for two-player play, or just because the lead is popular) are often given their own special abilities and personality quirks in later games. Can also happen in crossovers when two characters that were very similar in their own series are allowed to interact with each other. Related to Derivative Differentiation.

I'll admit it—I used to be a cheater. Up until a few weeks ago, whenever I did crunches I'd yank my head up and down to convince myself I was working really hard. Sadly, that's not exactly the fast track to a six-pack. Then I heard an amazing piece of advice: push your tongue up onto the roof of your mouth. It elongates your neck, helping keep it straight so the work stays in your abs. You can't cheat even if you want to!

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Khris Middleton and David Loubeau each scored 15 points to pace the ninth-seeded Texas A&M Aggies as they avenged a loss in the regular season finale by downing the eighth-seeded Oklahoma Sooners 62-53 in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament at the Sprint Center.
Elston Turner added 14 points and Ray Turner put in 12 off the bench for Texas A&M (14-17) which will have a stern test against top-seeded Kansas in the tournament's second round. Loubeau also led the Aggies on the boards bringing in nine rebounds.

The first half went back and forth with four lead changes despite neither team shooting particularly well. The Aggies went 12-for-32 in the first twenty minutes to the 9-for-23 performance put together by Oklahoma. The Aggies took control with a 9-0 spurt late in the first half and went into the locker room leading 27-22.
The teams were identical shooting the ball in the second half with each connecting on 39.1 percent of its shots. The Aggies were able to stretch their advantage and lead for the entire second period by turning in a 15-of-16 effort from the free throw line while outscoring the Sooners 6-0 from three point range.
Texas A&M held a 37-28 advantage on the glass including a 13-6 discrepancy in offensive rebounds leading to the Aggies 15-8 advantage on second chance points. Oklahoma got only three points from it's bench while the Aggies enjoyed 12 points from it's reserves.

Images of iPod touch 4G LCD panel with FaceTime camera emerge
New images of what is claimed to be a fourth-generation iPod touch LCD and front panel, with a hole for a front-facing camera, have appeared online. According to Mac Rumors, the photos were sent in by an iPhone parts supplier, and show both the front and back of the panel assembly. In addition, the part is also stamped "Apple (c) 2010" and "April 29, 2010," indicating that it was built recently. Information provided to iLounge in the last week indicates that Apple plans to release a new iPod touch in the next two months.

Fail… That hole is featured on the iPod Touch 1st, 2nd and 3rd gens as well as the iPad. I have no idea what it's for but that's just an LCD screen of an iPod Touch 2nd or 3rd gen. The 1st gen model had a hole more so to the left of the same design. On the iPad it's directly front and center. It has nothing to do with a camera, I believe it has something to do with Wi-Fi but yeah unless Apple had planned face time on 4 other products in the past, one of which was developed about a year or so before the face time concept was even conceived, then that's just a hole for some unknown reason. Check for yourself, go out in the sun and look in that exact spot or the top center if you have an iPad.
Posted by Ian on August 16, 2010 at 12:06 PM (CDT)
that is for the sensor for when u turn on the auto brightness feature. it detects how much light is coming in so it knows how bright to make the screen its not for wifi retard. thats the black thing on the back
Posted by jarrod on August 16, 2010 at 1:50 PM (CDT)
Yes, he's retarded for not knowing that the "hole" in gen 1-3 and ipad is light sensor, but also because it wasn't really a hole in those ones, just a slightly transparent part in the glass panel, this is a hole, and is in a different place, and obviously the news iPod touch will have a front camera retard
Posted by Smartguy on August 16, 2010 at 11:18 PM (CDT)
Yeah, seriously. It wasn't a hole in the previous models. Sure, there was a circle near the top of the ldc pannel, but that was a light sensor. The itouch 4g's lcd has a physical hole drilled into it for a front-facing camera to fit snugly under.

"I've told a lot of audiences that they have the best place, but I've lied to all of them," Jeff Tweedy told a full house at the Ryman June 24. "This is the best place." Tweedy, playing a set of songs from his forthcoming solo record under the name TWEEDY, wasn't flanked by the lavish stage production and familiar faces he had been when he last played the Mother Church with Wilco back in 2011. And until he launched into his second set — unaccompanied as he delivered classic Wilco, Uncle Tupelo and Golden Smog tunes — there weren't any familiar songs, either. Instead, it was all cuts from TWEEDY's forthcoming Sukierae, an album the noted folkster put together with his son and drummer, Spencer. But as fresh and foreign as the Sukierae songs and TWEEDY lineup might have been, there wasn't a moment of the man's set that felt ... well, un-Tweedy.
So let's get this out of the way right out of the gate: The 18-year-old Spencer Tweedy is an excellent drummer, armed with the chops and knack for subtle accents of a player twice his age. That was clear as soon as TWEEDY started in on their first Sukierae tune, a laid-back rock number called "Down From Above" that came complete with weird, angular guitar riffing. Spencer blended in with the rest of the five-piece on songs like "Diamond Light" and "Wait for Love," the latter of which featured some whimsical whistling that reminded The Spin more of Tweedy's project with Jim O'Rourke, Loose Fur, than anything from the Wilco catalog.
The crowd, much of which sported ample indie-rock beards, mostly kept right up with TWEEDY, though there was some restless chatter and affectionate heckling here and there. Tweedy engaged it a bit, responding to questions and calls before playfully saying "shut up" to one dude who hollered at him. "You're not part of the show," Tweedy said sheepishly. He also self-deprecatingly teased the crowd for cheering at his guitar playing — he guessed that there were likely at least a thousand folks in the Music City crowd who were better guitarists than he is, though he later noted, "You guys are not The Jordanaires" after a rather pitchy bit of singing along. But like a Wilco crowd, the audience remained seated for the duration of the set (save about 30 seconds at the start of the encore, that is), applauding for new songs like the standout "Slow Love" and laughing along when Tweedy impishly chided an audience member for shouting "Go!" as he was introducing the song.
The crowd had never quite gotten settled during the opening set from Albuquerque-based husband-and-wife (and drummer) outfit The Handsome Family. Best known for their song "Far From Any Road," which was used as the theme song for the first season of HBO's breakout hit True Detective, the Family's songs never came across quite as lush or mysterious as they do on record. The material is still innately Southwestern — calm, thoughtful storyteller folk filled with dual vocals, Telecaster picking and occasional glimpses of banjo and other auxiliary instrumentation. Anyway, it was mostly charming stuff, but we might connect with it a little better in a more intimate and focused setting — like at The Basement, for instance, where The Handsome Family is slated to perform on Aug. 23.
Later, when TWEEDY the band exited the stage after roughly a dozen songs, leaving Tweedy the man to play his solo set, the crowd's restlessness seemed mostly squashed. Swapping out one acoustic guitar for another after nearly every song, Tweedy breezed through Wilco crowd-pleasers like "Via Chicago," "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," "At Least That's What You Said," "I'm Always in Love," "Passenger Side" and more, alongside surprises like Loose Fur's "Laminated Cat," Uncle Tupelo's "New Madrid" and a handful of Golden Smog numbers ("Pecan Pie" and "Radio King" among them). He closed the solo set with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's "Jesus, Etc." and "I'm the Man Who Loves You," both of which sounded radically different — though newly intimate — without the wonderfully disjointed and playful accompaniment of the album versions.
TWEEDY returned to the stage for an encore, which included "You Are Not Alone" from the Tweedy-produced Mavis Staples album of the same name, a cover of Doug Sahm's "Give Back the Key to My Heart" (which appeared on Uncle Tupelo's 1993 record Anodyne) and — after thanking his band and sharing a very touching story about just how mature young Spencer is and always has been — "California Stars" from Mermaid Avenue. Then, as he's done before at the Ryman, Tweedy went off-mic for a rendition of Anodyne's "Acuff-Rose." A bit of mid-song whooping from the audience was quickly shushed, leaving only the creaking of the Ryman's wooden floors and pews to compete with Tweedy's voice and guitar. With nearly 30 songs in all, it likely wasn't the sort of show that would have won over any non-fans — though, of course, why would any be there in the first place? But for diehard Wilco fans, students of Tweedy's extensive catalog and those curious about the TWEEDY material, it was an engaging show, free from any bells and whistles (like, say, the explosive solos of Wilco guitarist Nels Cline or much in the way of production) and packed to the brim with, y'know, oodles of Tweedy.
There is so much to say about Friday night's Katy Perry concert at Bridgestone Arena. A singing poo emoji! Tap-dancing cats! Cover Girl commercials! And the infamously potentially racially insensitive mummies! But before Ms. Perry and her bajillion different costumes took the triangular Illuminati beacon of a stage — and hours before she made her post-show cameo at local bar No. 308 — there was also that time when The Spin got scolded by a perturbed mom for cursing in front of her 5-year-old. What the fuck, man?
Recent Scene cover girl Kacey Musgraves had been opening for Perry on some of her recent Prismatic Tour dates, but instead of Musgraves, we got Capital Cities, a generic dance-pop band that sounds like they write songs specifically to be used in Apple commercials. They're part '80s nostalgia (some songs sound remarkably like Culture Club) and part Chromeo, and for some reason they covered "Stayin' Alive." Mark our words: Capital Cities is the band that will be playing in the background of the beach-house party in Hollywood's inevitable remake of Weekend at Bernie's, starring Zac Efron. Boring.
And then the woman of the hour. Perry delivered the kind of show every pop star should — it was, delightfully, filled with equal parts impressive production and sheer ridiculousness. The two-hour performance was broken up into about a half-dozen different segments, each with its own theme and costume change. As Perry roared (heh) through her arsenal of hits — "Roar," "Dark Horse," "Teenage Dream," a speakeasy-esque version of "Hot N Cold" and a quick nod to Madonna's "Vogue" — the crowd (which was filled with rainbow-wig-wearing tweens, 20-somethings celebrating bachelorette parties, cool moms on summer vacay and 5-year-olds who've never heard the word "fuck" before) ecstatically screamed through every second of it.
There were two-story-high singing poo emojis, animated montages of cats getting their hair done at the "spaw," alien abductions, flying guitar players and neon-mohawked dudes running around with glow-in-the-dark spears like some kind of The Gods Must Be Crazy/Tron mash-up. At one point, after prowling around the stage in a glittery pink cat costume, Perry re-created the famous scene in Flashdance by pulling a rope and dumping a giant bowl of white, glittery "milk" all over herself because of course. Are we making it sound surreal enough for you? Because it was all very surreal.
Then came the "intimate" portion of the show, where Perry stopped acting like a cartoon and told anecdotes about coming to Nashville and playing The Bluebird Cafe. She profusely thanked her fans for helping her make her dreams come true, talked about how much she loves America, gave a couple little girls a pepperoni pizza, played a very sparkly acoustic guitar and sang her more heartfelt songs, like "By the Grace of God" and "Unconditionally." Butterflies were involved and women were dressed like sunflowers. At one point Perry hit herself in the face with her microphone and laughed at how she just shattered the flawless pop star illusion. It was hard to tell if the lip smash happened every night in a well-choreographed attempt to further humanize herself or if she really did just have a moment of clumsiness. Either way, we'll give her adorable points for it.
After everyone caught their breath, we were dumped back into Perry's sugar-high fever dream where she walked through the air while hanging from a big blue cloud, gyrated on top of a birthday cake, sat in a bright green blow-up convertible that drove her and her '90s-pop-loving BFFs all over the stage and flew from the rafters as thousands and thousands of balloons fell from the ceiling. Fans grabbed at the balloons as if Perry herself had filled each one with precious air molecules from her very own lungs.
By the time Perry closed with her feel-good empowerment anthem "Firework," everyone was hypnotized. Our hearts were screaming out, "Yes, Katy Perry, we have also felt like a plastic bag." Real-life fireworks went off all around Perry as a giant fan dramatically blew her hair back and the entire arena sparkled with hundreds of thousands of glittery little spots of lights, then BOOM, the instant the song ended the house lights went on, the dream was over, and everyone was rushed out of the arena as quickly as possible. The crew had a shit-ton of confetti to clean up. Sorry, we mean to say a poop-ton. There were kids there, after all.

Arkansas' jobless rate fell to 7.3% in January, a tenth of a percent lower than December and two-tenths of a percent lower than one year ago.
The U.S. unemployment rate also fell one-tenth of a percent in January to 6.6%.
Arkansas' jobless rate remained above 7% for the 60th consecutive month – five years – when the state and nation were roiling from the near economic collapse of the Great Recession.
In January 2014, Arkansas' employed labor force stood at 1,231,200 workers a gain of 2,400 from December 2013 and 1,200 from January 2013.
Arkansas Department of Workforce Services personnel said the employment rise was the fifth consecutive month for gains.
The state's employed workforce has been struggling since January 2012 when the number stood at 1,257,700, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Since then, Arkansas has seen an exit of approximately 26,500 workers from the labor force. Going back five years, more than 33,500 workers have exited Arkansas employment ranks.
Economists contend that baby boomers retiring, workers giving up looking for work, and more potential workers staying in school may be contributing to the workforce decline. Also, the statistics show that rural areas of Arkansas have lost substantially more workers than metropolitan regions of the state.
In the separately released Monthly Survey of Employers, seven major industry sectors posted job growth during the past year compared to four that saw declines.
Since January 2013, leisure and hospitality jobs have grown by 4,200, while manufacturing employment has fallen by 1,600. The full classification of industry gainers and decliners is as follows:
Mining & Logging -200
Construction +1,200
Manufacturing -1,600
Trade/Transportation +3,400
Information -500
Financial +900
Professional/Business +3,000
Education/Health +2,700
Leisure/Hospitality +4,200
Other +700
Government -600

There's nothing better than reveling in the sweet, Summer air wearing an array of flirty frocks and skirts. This week's celebs did just that donning a lot of color, prints, and amazing styling skills. I absolutely adored Lindsay's floral Dolce & Gabbana dress, and Ashley Green looked amazing in her Brian Reyes confection. I better stop before I give away all the juicy details — take my quiz to see if you were paying attention to this week's looks!
