Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bombers wrap up training camp
Well, that's a wrap on Blue Bombers training camp – all that's left for coaches to do now is decide who will stay, and who will go.
The final cuts will fall on Friday morning, head coach Mike O'Shea said after practice today, as the Bombers whittle their regular roster down to the 46-man limit.
"It's not fun," O'Shea said, of the meetings that are looming. "It's a part of the process, from my standpoint. From the players standpoint, it can be devastating. And you have to handle it professionally, but it's still a part of you that you understand how they're feeling."
One area of interest could be the running backs, where injuries have battered the legs they brought into camp. Indeed, as of this morning tailback Nick Grigsby was the only international still standing at that position, with Paris Cotton and Will Ford still out at least another two weeks with injuries. They also have Canadian tailback Carl Volny, who has been bruised too – hence, why the Bombers scooped up another American running back, rookie Kyle Bolton, on Wednesday.
"In order to even have a practice, we needed to bring people in," O'Shea said. "That's what was troublesome, how do we run this type of practice."
Still, that doesn't necessarily mean that Grigsby will be the starter on day one, O'Shea cautioned. "I wouldn't make that deduction," he said. "He took reps today, that's for sure. I think he still looks like he's banged up a little bit, and he's gutting it out, and I like to see that."
One of the players waiting to find out where he will fit is cornerback Donovan Alexander, a Winnipegger and seven-year CFL veteran, who nabbed a chance to sign with Winnipeg this off-season. He missed most of camp with a strained muscle, just one of those training camp injuries that can crop up almost no matter what you do. But he was back in practice on today, and coach Mike O'Shea later praised him for making a few plays right away.
No doubt, the Bombers picked him up looking for an experienced Canadian starter, not to mention someone who had worked under defence co-ordinator Gary Etcheverry before. With so much time lost to injury, though, Alexander wasn't sure how that would change how he slotted in. "I have no idea," Alexander said. "You have to ask the coaches about that one, I'm just happy to be back out on the field… Coaches can't evaluate you when you're sitting on the sidelines."

I always look at a Resturant from the out side to see if the people that own it care about it . This Resturant could do with a facelift for starters . We went there as a family to the buffet , never before had a buffet Indian meal ,so did not know what to expect . As a great lover of Indian food this Resturant did little for me . The food was very average . They kept running out of the main dishes ,so had to stand there and wait till it came out . The main was chicken korma , vegetable curry and chicken madras . I tried all and all was bland . There was two rices to choose from and then very little else . This was no buffet . There was a large family of Indians on holiday that came in and even they we not impresst on the buffet. There is a big markup on food , so if you want the customers then put out the food .Add comment Report this review

Willowridge Levee groundbreaking set for Jan. 22
January 03 at 2:25 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
The construction of this exciting and much-needed flood control project will be marked with a ceremony featuring guest speakers from both parish and state government. The project is part of the St. Charles Parish West Bank Levee Initiative.
The event is open to the public.Residents in the area recently received information regarding construction timing, speed limits and access to the levee right-of-way.
Trespassing on the right-of-way is prohibited. Violators will be referred to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office.Mobilization has already begun, and clearing and grading of land along the levee alignment up to the subdivision's property boundary directly south of Willowridge and Willowdale will commence soon after.
Once complete, the first phase of the Willowridge Levee will offer 5.5 feet of hurricane and tidal flooding protection from the Peterson Canal (on the western side) to an existing berm behind Willowridge Drive. When all four construction phases are complete, the levee will stand at 7 feet and include the new Willowridge Pump Station, a detention pond and two tidal interchange structures.
The St. Charles Parish West Bank Hurricane Protection Levee is a multi-phase project that encompasses 33 miles from the Davis Diversion West Guide Levee in Luling to a ridge at Highway 308 in Lafourche Parish. This long-term project is split into four reaches within St. Charles Parish – Willowridge (Luling), Ellington (Luling and Boutte), Magnolia Ridge (Boutte) and Sunset (Paradis, Bayou Gauche and Des Allemands).
It will offer flood protection to approximately 25,300 residents and numerous business and industrial sites, including energy and petrochemical producers, on the West Bank. It will also protect U.S. Highway 90, a critical evacuation route for southeast Louisiana residents from multiple parishes.The overall goal of the West Bank Levee Initiative is to design and construct a flood protection system that meets both Federal Emergency Management Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements.
This projected $500 million project can only be accomplished with cooperation and funding provided by supporting agencies, including the Lafourche Basin Levee District (LBLD) and Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), in collaboration with St. Charles Parish government. Currently the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's Statewide Flood Control Program is funding 70 percent of the total cost of the Willowridge levee and 90 percent of the proposed Willowridge Pump Station. The State of Louisiana Division of Administration, Facility Planning and Control provides additional funding.
To meet that goal – and with the recent transfer of the governing authority of the Sunset Drainage District to St. Charles Parish – all phases are being worked on simultaneously as funding allows. LBLD is currently working with CPRA to have the overall levee alignment included in the state's Coastal Master Plan, which will open the door for further state funding and BP RESTORE Act funding for the levee. CPRA is in the process of evaluating the hydraulic model of the levee system and preparing a cost / benefit ratio for the project. If CPRA makes a favorable recommendation, the Louisiana Legislature can include funding through the fiscal year 2015 annual plan that the legislature would adopt in its 2014 session.

Meet new Bobcats owner: Heir Jordan
Send this to a friend
- Erik Spanberg
- Senior staff writer
A day after the NBA approved Michael Jordan as the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, he vowed to turn the franchise around on and off the floor.
"My life has been like a big marketing scheme," Jordan said during a press conference Thursday evening at the team's uptown practice facility. "I have no problems getting myself involved."
The 47-year-old retired Hall of Fame player plans to take a hands-on approach to both business and basketball matters. He also promised to become much more visible in Charlotte even as he maintains his Chicago residence. Fans and the news media have criticized Jordan for making infrequent appearances at Bobcats games and for being reluctant to promote the team.
In the span of 30 minutes, he quelled or quashed many of those longstanding local concerns and criticisms. He plans to buy a house in the area soon and wants his children to become familiar with Charlotte.
Later, during an interview in his executive suite at the arena, Jordan said his purchase of the team requires no additional investors, though he would consider offers from prospective minority backers if they express interest.
More than anything, Jordan preached two things: winning more on the court and persuading fans and companies to latch on to the Bobcats.
The NBA says Jordan paid $275 million for the franchise. That is $25 million less than the expansion fee Bob Johnson paid in 2003. However, published reports in recent days have given a lower purchase price for Jordan. For example, Forbes reported he paid $175 million for the Bobcats.
Johnson, who brought Jordan in as a minority investor and to oversee basketball-related decisions in 2006, owned between 70 percent and 80 percent of the Bobcats when he completed the deal with Jordan late last month. Since he became an NBA owner seven years ago, Johnson has lost an estimated $80 million, including tens of millions on a failed startup regional sports cable network that lasted less than a year.

Keanu Reeves at 50: Kicking ass in different ways.
Because no Internet meme is validated unless it comes out in printed form, Keanu Reeves has used the uber popular "Sad Keanu" meme as inspiration for a book. "Sad Keanu" hit last summer courtesy of a glorious paparazzi photo and the folks over at Reddit. Strangely enough, it took Reeves until October to find out about his own memetastic existence.
As part of the ongoing Mashable Awards, we're taking a closer look at each of the nomination categories. This is "Best Internet Meme," supported by Dynadot. Be sure to nominate your favorites and join us for the Gala in Las Vegas! A favorite meme is a very personal thing -- like a perfume, a haircut, or a uniquely diagnosed neurosis.
Thank the deities! The Sad Keanu Reeves meme is back -- and this time instead of a sandwich, everyone's favorite Little Buddha is sporting a helmet. (Yup. He was just asking for it. ) With such a setup, the possibilities for parody were endless. However, we've reined ourselves in and chosen only the best for your early evening pleasure. Last month, the Sad Keanu photo meme hit the 'net with the force of a particularly fierce tropical storm -- of the ilk that devours sandwiches, rather than towns.

- This bumblebee spinner is a deal Review by HawkinDC
This spinner entertains my 2yo daughter. It moves really fast with the wind and is easy to put together. I stuck it in a potted plant outside and voila! It goes. This store not only was the least expensive of all I looked at but the cost to speed up the delivery of it and another similar spinner was still less than buying it elsewhere. I can't say that I think this spinner will last forever bec

- Great product Review by Mrs. Green Knee
Our "Bees" are scattered about our large back yard. They add both color and movement for every season. They store well and hold thier color. We have one old larger "Bee" (now discontinued) that takes center stage. Grouped together or alone this product is a super addition to our back yard entertainment.

- They were the BUZZ of the party!!! Review by Proud grandma t
I threw a mother-to-bee party for my daughter and had these around the room for decoration using a wood base my husband made. At the end of the party we played a game and there were winners at each table that got to take home the bees. Everyone wanted to win so they could take a bee home!!! Thank you for the speed in which they were delivered and the quality of the product. :)

These spinners are reasonably priced, well made and seem to hold up well. Kids love them and several neighbors have given us positive comments and have asked where we bought them. My wife teaches and the kids get a real kick out of watching them at school. We also have them in our front and back yard.

Editor's note: The following is a version of a submission written for "LDS Temples Book," created by photographer Scott Jarvie.
I was 9 years old when I attended the dedication of the Bountiful Utah Temple. Being so young, I don't remember much about what was said that evening. I remember my parents picking me up from my friend's birthday party early to go to the dedication, something I was, at the time, not too thrilled about. I remember getting all dressed up, my hair still wet from the luau party, a white handkerchief folded neatly in my purse.
And then I remember the feeling I had when I listened to President Howard W. Hunter speak. All of my young girl thoughts about missing out on presents and cake quickly faded, and a quiet, comforting peace settled into my heart. I was grateful to be a part of something so special and sacred. I remember sitting next to my parents and feeling at home.
From that moment on, I felt the Bountiful Temple was "my" temple.
There were many evenings where my family and I would go for a walk around the temple. When I was a teenager, I'd meet my friends on the boulevard and together, we'd walk reverently around the temple grounds and watch the sun set over the Great Salt Lake. We'd wonder about what sacred covenants we'd make inside someday, and whom we'd make them with.
It was on the grounds of the Bountiful Temple where I received a phone call from my sister about expecting her first baby. It's where I decided to pursue a career, and then later, set that career aside for the man I chose to marry. It's where I spent hours in the waiting room, the baptismal font, the grounds, and the atrium fervently praying about that man I chose, and whether I was making a good decision. It's where my bishop at the time told me he felt I had made the right choice. It's where my sister and I went to be baptized and confirmed for my deceased great-grandmother, a choice experience I will never forget.
The day I went through the Bountiful Temple to receive my own endowment, my mother presented me with a temple bag with the Bountiful Temple embroidered on the face. I treasure that little bag, and the memories it still brings from that special day.
I was married in the Bountiful Temple in December 2005, almost a decade after I went to the temple dedication as a girl. The feelings of love and joy almost cannot be expressed as I thought about how every important decision I had made had led me, ultimately, to that holy place where "families can be together forever."
Now, I live many miles from the Bountiful Temple. Every time I visit, I think back on my life as a young woman. I examine the woman I am now, and ponder on what my future still holds.
I have a picture of the Bountiful Temple hanging on my family room wall. It is the temple of my childhood, where all my dreams were prayed about, sorted out and realized. It is a reminder of what truly is important in life, a compass that will hopefully guide my own children home, to their Heavenly Father's house.

This is another one of my Fall Looks that I am quite proud of and sad that I didn't make a version for myself! The pictures don't do this shirt justice (or to me really) as it was getting quite late when we took these and we were kind of in a rush. I edited them as much as possible (and when I say edited I mean changed the lighting and so on) but I still feel that they aren't as vibrant and heart warming as my pictures usually are (if I do say so myself).
I made this out of a very soft and thick quilting cotton that it a pleasure to wear!
What do you think??

Educational video game
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Video games in education. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2013.
An educational video game is a video game that provides educational value to the player. Edutainment describes an intentional merger of video games and educational software into a single product (and could therefore also comprise more serious titles sometimes described under children's learning software). In the narrower sense used here, the term describes educational software which is primarily about entertainment, but tends to educate as well and sells itself partly under the educational umbrella. Normally software of this kind is not structured towards school curricula and does not involve educational advisors.
There can be also defined strategy war games that include historical references, like the Total War franchise or the Age of Empires trilogy and an in-game encyclopaedia like Civilization. These games often integrate education without being explicitly educational.
These are games which were originally developed for adults or older children and which have potential learning implications. For the most part, these games provide simulations of different kinds of human activities, allowing players to explore a variety of social, historical and economic processes.
- City-building games such as the SimCity series and Caesar (1993–2006) invite players to explore the social, practical and economic processes involved in city management;
- Empire-building games such as the Civilization series (1991–2013) and the Europa Universalis series (2000–2014) help players to learn about history and its political, economic and military aspects;
- Railroad management games such as Railroad Tycoon (1990–2003) and Rails Across America (2001) illuminate the history, engineering and economics of railroad management.
- Geography games such as PlaceSpotting (2008–2009) help players to find locations on earth according to some hints.
The games have been enthusiastically received in some educational circles and are mentioned into academic literature.[1].
A new category was recently started by Bot Colony (2013), that can be used to practice English dialogue by conversing with intelligent robots as part of an adventure game [1]
Many titles were developed and released from the mid-1990s onwards, aimed primarily at the home education of young children. Later iterations of these titles often began to link educational content to school curricula such as England's National Curriculum. The design of educational games for home use has been influenced by gaming concepts – they are designed to be fun and educational.
Examples of children's learning software which have a structured pedagogical approach, usually orientated towards literacy and numeracy skills.
- Disney Interactive learning titles based on characters such as Winnie-the-Pooh, Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Mickey Mouse
- GCompris, contains numerous activities, from computer discovery to science
- Knowledge Adventure's JumpStart and Blaster Learning System series
- The Learning Company's Reader Rabbit, The ClueFinders and Zoombinis series.
In 1983, the term "edutainment" was used to describe a package of software games for the Oric 1 and Spectrum Microcomputers in the UK. Dubbed "arcade edutainment" an advertisement for the package can be found in various issues of "Your Computer" magazine from 1983. The software package was available from Telford ITEC a government sponsored training program. The originator of the name was Chris Harvey who worked at ITEC at the time.
Since then, many other computer games such as Electronic Arts's Seven Cities of Gold, released 1984, have also used edutainmentdescriptive term. Most edutainment games seek to teach players by employing a game-based learning approach. Criticism as to which video games can be considered educational has led to the creation of "serious games" whose primary focus is to teach rather than entertain.
Psychologist Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen researched the educational use and potential of computer games and has written many articles on the subject. One paper dealing specifically with edutainment breaks it down into 3 generational categories to separate the cognitive methods most predominantly used to teach.[2] He is critical of the research that has been done on the educational use of computer games, citing their biases and weaknesses in method, which cause their findings to lack scientific validity.

READ MORE- David Drumm testifies in U.S. over financial assets
READ MORE- Anglo Irish Bank goes to Boston court to question David Drumm
David Drumm, the former Anglo Irish Bank boss who filed for bankruptcy in Boston last October, was forced to undergo a course in personal financial management by U.S. authorities.
As part of his bankruptcy proceedings, the former bank boss was required to complete the course.
Despite now working as a financial advisor, Mr Drumm was forced to take part in the education program which took the form of a "debtor education" course.
On December 27, he was issued with a certificate of completion by the Institute of Financial Literacy.
The debtor education course is designed to improve your financial planning for the future and provides information on creating a budget, managing money and the prudent use of credit cards.
The 44-year-old fled to the U.S. after resigning from Anglo Irish Bank in December 2008 after it emerged that director's loans had been concealed from the banks shareholders for several years.
As part of his bankruptcy proceedings, Mr Drumm will face questions from Anglo legal representatives about his financial affairs this coming Wednesday.
One of several U.S. homes, his mansion in Chatham on Cape Cod was put on the market for $5.5million two weeks ago. However less than half of the proceedings will go to creditors as Mr Drumm's wife is entitled to a share.

The Northwest Michigan Chapter of the Quality Deer Management Association, in partnership with Leelanau Whitetails will meet with Michigan DNR to talk about Antler Point Restrictions in a number of Norther Michigan Counties.
My wife looked at me and asked, "how come you always get your buck every year, yet others struggle to just get a shot?" Well... I whispered, then taking a long pull from my glass, "there are ten steps to bowhunting success. "
What Draw Weight for Deer
My son and I are looking into taking up bow hunting in Texas. For mainly white tail and possible hogs. What draw strength is needed for a recurve bow for this type of game?
Great question, and one we get a lot. What draw weight bow should I get?
A lot of bow hunters buy bows at the very max of what they can draw. That is a mistake! What you should consider is too factors. First what draw weight can I comfortably draw and hold. Now, I think by working out you can increase the weight you can easily handle, but not many of us have the discipline to do that. If you take the time to shoot your bow accurately, the draw weight is not nearly as important.
Any modern compound bow with a draw weight of 45 pounds or more will be plenty of bow within a short range, say 20 to 30 yards. Beyond that you will begin to lose energy quickly. If you can handle 50 or 55 pounds you will probably get complete pass through shots out to 40 yards.
The same is true for a recurve bow as well, but a lot will depend on the draw length too. Recurve bows are usually measured at a draw length of 28 inches. If your draw length is shorter than 28 inches then the draw weight will be less than the stated weight. I would not hunt whitetail deer with less than 45 pounds. You can have your bow or archery shop measure your draw length and then test your bow to find out exactly how much draw weight you are actually pulling.
This is a great question. Post it in our forums section too, and see what kind of response you get.
Happy hunting.

The federal government's inspectors general could soon gain more power if Congress passes a new bill. With the demonstrated success of IGs during the past 25 years, some lawmakers think the proposed Improving Government Accountability Act could help IGs become even more successful in the next 25 years, said Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), co-author of the bill.
The legislation proposes a number of changes to enhance the independence and effectiveness of IGs. One provision would create a seven-year term for IGs. Another would require the president to meet a stringent standard before firing an IG. The latter change would make it more difficult for IGs to be removed for political reasons and would give them the necessary job security to issue unpopular reports.
"We've all heard stories that the IG starts to do something, then he's fired," said Rep. Edolphus Towns (D- N.Y.). "We need to do what we can to give the IGs security to do their investigations."
The IG community supports the fixed-term proposal but would prefer that two more years be added to "span administrations and be more consistent with other terms of office across the government," said Russell George, IG for the Corporation for National and Community Service, an umbrella organization for several volunteer service groups.
An additional provision includes unifying two IG councils, both of which are headed by Clay Johnson, the Office of Management and Budget's deputy director for management. The new council members would have an annual budget of $750,000 to carry out their administrative functions.
Federal IGs generally embrace the council idea because it could lead to improvements in efficiency among the IGs and their staffs, George said. A unified council also could strengthen IGs' relationships with members of Congress. But many IGs would prefer that lawmakers appoint Johnson chairman of the new council "to preserve the existing link between the IGs and the administration," he said.
The bill offers IGs additional hiring flexibilities by creating a new personnel management system. Many IGs say they welcome hiring flexibilities. But granting them the authority to offer pay banding, merit-based pay, market-based pay and bonuses would be more helpful in recruiting and retaining skilled auditors, they say.
"As the role of the IG has expanded in both mission and complexity, it has become clear that additional personnel authority is needed," George said. Most IGs would prefer having authority to apply directly to the Office of Personnel Management to make hiring decisions.
The change, he said, would "greatly enhance our management of human capital and result in an even more highly skilled and effective workforce."
Lawmakers appeared open to suggestions from IGs to improve the bill. "You only have to look at today's deficit to know we must do everything we can to improve efficiency throughout the federal government," Cooper said.
"By strengthening the Inspector General Act," he said, "Congress can increase government accountability, while also reducing waste, fraud and abuse."
In 1976, a post-Watergate reform-minded climate paved the way for the enactment of the Inspector General Act.
The law mandated subpoena authority for gathering external information and documents for the IGs, direct access to all agency records and information, and a semiannual report to Congress about the activities of all IG offices.
The mission of federal inspectors general is to work independently to uncover fraud, waste and abuse within the department that employs them and to report their findings to the department secretary and Congress.
There are 57 IGs, 29 of whom serve at the largest federal agencies as presidential appointees confirmed by the Senate.
Twenty-eight additional agencies, including the U.S. Postal Service and the National Science Foundation, have the authority
to appoint IGs without Senate confirmation.
Last year, federal IGs accounted for nearly $18 billion in potential savings for taxpayers. IG offices participated in 6,600 successful prosecutions, suspensions or debarments of more than 7,600 individuals and businesses. Their offices also were involved in more than 2,600 civil or personnel actions.

w-where those real snails duckman was crushing? :(
i like snails.
Special effects! No snails harmed.
Interesting and very original. The animation transitions were surprisingly fluid and appropriate, that of which I really enjoyed. The downfalls were I felt that this flash would've benefited from being in full color, and that the dialogue could've been better. The voice acting wasn't too shabby either. An excellent effort, that deserves more stars from me if improved upon. Looking forward to seeing your future submissions.
wow awesome,.liked the jazz-all the things you are/uatim leaves
YOU fucking ASS WHY KILL THOSE SNAILS and not even eat them :
Now that was an intriguing original comedy.
Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!

Higher ed advocates focus on retirement benefits
While higher education issues seem hidden behind state gun control and uranium mining discussions at the Capitol so far, professors from VCU and other schools are urging legislators to improve retirement benefits for public university and college employees.
Pushing for more funding for higher education, better faculty retirement options and lower tuition for in-state residents, three groups spearheaded the task of getting their voices heard last week.
Officials from the Faculty Senate of Virginia, the VCU Faculty Senate and the American Association of University Professors met at legislative offices Thursday morning. Their first order of business was to push for educators' retirement benefits.
House Bill 486, sponsored by Delegate Onzlee Ware, D-Roanoke, aims to create better retirement incentives for public higher education employees.
The bill would allow such workers, who currently have optional retirement plans, to opt in to the Virginia Retirement System. Employees who wish to maintain an optional retirement plan, and were hired after July 2010, would be provided between 8.5 and 8.9 percent "creditable compensation" from the commonwealth. All other employees would be entitled to a rate of 10.4 percent creditable compensation from the state.
Creditable compensation constitutes all the salary and wages paid to a full-time, salaried higher education employee as a result of services performed. It also includes payments for compensatory time, severance pay or employer-provided payment for the purchase of service credit in the VRS.
The purpose of HB 486 is to give state employees in the higher education system the opportunity to purchase service credit in the VRS based on accumulated earnings and experience, even if those workers are covered under an optional retirement program.
"Many employees come in untenured, so they have a choice whether they want to participate in an optional retirement plan or the VRS, since optional retirement plans are portable and can be taken to other systems. But if you get here [Virginia] and you realize how great it is, then you might wish that you had signed in to the VRS," said Robert Andrews, organizer of the 2013 Higher Education Advocacy Day.
"The bill makes it so down the road, once [employees] get tenured, they can make a one-time swap to buy equivalent amount of work time in the VRS," said Andrews, a professor in the VCU School of Business and an officer in the VCU Faculty Senate.
"It's certainly revenue neutral, and it's really important for state employees to buy in to this established benefit plan."
In addition to retirement benefits, education lobbyists are also looking to provide financial benefits to educators' families.
Senate Bill 104, introduced by Democratic Sen. John Edwards of Roanoke, would reduce the tuition rate for children of Virginia higher education employees by 50 percent. Currently, state universities and colleges can decide individually whether to waive tuition for their employees' children. SB 104 would ensure that all state institutions implement the reduction immediately.
"Growing up with a mother as a college professor, you really gain a perspective into how valuable higher education is," said junior Alex Wells of George Mason University. "I think that being proactive in the House and Senate really shows that we're committed to the long-term prosperity of prospective students and faculty in Virginia."
Participants in Higher Education Advocacy Day also expressed a need for more state funding to make college tuition more affordable for future students. Members are seeking legislative action to filter more than $200 million for state tuition assistance, as well as more than $2 billion in employer-based financing towards the VRS program.
"We're important in supporting higher education and maintaining credibility against voices on the other side who feel that they don't have any responsibility to contribute to higher education," Andrews said.
"If we don't have competitive institutions that have the financial resources to provide quality faculty members, or opportunities for students to have more feasible access to college, then we inevitably suffer in attracting professional businesses to our state."

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

All sensory pleasures in the world are like a wrapping paper; the true bliss is the presence inside.
Divine love is the present, yet we hold on to the paper and believe we have already enjoyed the gift. It's like putting a chocolate in your mouth with the foil wrapping still on. A little chocolate may seep through, but the foil makes sores in the mouth.
Unwrap the present. The whole world is there for you to enjoy. The wise know how to enjoy the gift inside, while the ignorant get stuck to the paper.

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) - A scenic 8-mile drive in White Sands National Monument will reopen President's Day weekend.
The National Park Service announced Dunes Drive will be open to visitors Sunday starting at 8 a.m.
Dunes Drive had been closed for eight days due to recovery and cleanup efforts after a QF-4 drone from Holloman Air Force Base crashed Feb. 7.
Base officials say the cause of the crash isn't immediately known and it's under investigation.
Officials say entrance fees at all National Parks Service Sites, including White Sands, will be free Sunday and Monday because of the holiday.

New. Great customer service. You will be happy!
If you have kids in public schools, went to public school or live near a public school - you should read this book. If you wonder why schools are in a constant need of "saving," why so many are failing and why they resemble prisons - this book will answer those questions and many more.
Schools are a mess. Even the "best" public schools are rife with behavioral, drug, gang and academic troubles.
Public schooling represents one of the very few things in our society over which we do not get a choice. We are told which school we must attend. Each school is a one-size fit's all government jobs-project that may or may not serve your child's or your best interests.
Yes, well-meaning adults staff these schools, but they are merely pawns in a system over which they have very little control. Students and teachers are told where to go, when to go, what to learn (teach), what is important and what is not (according to the powers-that-be of course).
The trend in most curriculum development is racing toward math and science - a very left-brained concrete thought process. "Science pays," is the mantra of the day. This is because, schools are not built to educate students but, instead, to create malleable workers. The liberal arts, particularly history and civics, have been relegated to mere after thoughts.
Because a society of engaged and educated citizens make terrible consumers. Thoughtful independent people are not good followers. The goal is a strong workforce filled with insecure, immature and rootless technocrats who will consume without remorse, restraint or reflection.
Before anything can change in this world you must understand your foe.
If you take issue with the control and influence all things BIG have on your life, this book is a great beginning. The growth of Big Parma, Big Medicine, Big Education, Big Unions, Big Government, Big Prisons, and Big Corporations seems to go on unabated. The trajectory we are following stands in opposition to individual freedom.
This book will help you to understand the mindset of those who seek power and the methods used in society, especially through education, to produce people who serve their ends (mindless consumption & cooperation). Big anything hates independent, thoughtful and reflective citizens.
Warning: This book will open your eyes, like Neo in the Matrix, once you go this way you may not return, so it is not recommended for those who wish to remain asleep.
A great book...highly recommended.
Gatto does a great job tracing the history of our modern education system, though it's a scary one...

You Asked: My Husband Expects me to be a Housewife!!
Dear Sugar--
I am recently married to a wonderful and extremely loving man. We have been together for almost 6 years and he is my prince charming. On our honeymoon, he dropped a total bombshell on me -- he wants me to quit my job and be a housewife!!!
Now, I understand that many women enjoy being housewives and I have the utmost respect for them, but being a housewife is just not for me. I recently landed an amazing job at a very prestigious law firm and feel like I didn't bust my *ss in school for the past 7 years for nothing. Before we got married he was happy that I wanted to keep my job and now he is all of a sudden adamant that I quit. I don't know what to do, I love my husband and he is being incredibly generous by offering to be the sole provider, but being a housewife simply won't be enough for me. HELP! -- Unstimulated Sonia
To see DEARSUGAR's answer read more
Dear Unstimulated Sonia --
Yikes, it sounds like you and your new hubby have a serious conflict of interests here. I can completely understand why you don't want to give up on a career you have clearly worked very hard to achieve and I quite frankly feel you shouldn't have to. What is sparking your husband's sudden change of heart? Have you told him how important keeping your job is to you? Have you expressed your disinterest in being a housewife?
It sounds like your husband has an idea of what marriage is "supposed to be," perhaps he grew up in a household where his mother stayed home while his father brought home the bacon, but that lifestyle isn't for everyone and he needs to understand that. If you are forced to stay home, chances are you're going to end up resenting him, which is bound to cause serious problems in your relationship. Marriage is all about give and take, so while your husband might have an ideal of how he wants your life to be, you need to do what makes you happy. Starting a new life with your husband takes some work, and there will be highs and lows, but I suggest you sit him down ASAP, let him know how you feel, and demand that you come up with some sort of a compromise. I wish you luck Sonia, and congrats on your wedding!
