I often talk about my Gaggia Platinum Vision espresso machine and the drinks that it can produce. One important factor in creating the "perfect" cup of coffee is the bean used in the machine. One of my favorite coffees is Lavazza Super crema , which true to its name produces the thickest crema...

Product Detail
For those who want a robust espresso full of strength without the bitter aftertaste. A superior coffee with a thick, rich crema. Made from an 80/20 Arabica/Robusta blend. Available in 1 case (6 - 2.2 lb bags).
My wife and I both noticed an oddity about these beans. We bought the Lavazza 3 bag sample pack and LOVED the Pienaroma. We both slowed our espresso drinking after filling our machine with this bean (Super Crema). We weren't sure why and kept trying to figure it out. We finally just decided we...
That is a very odd circumstance, and not something I have heard before. If that does occur again, please contact our Customer Service team.
I'm interested in trying some of the beans sold online here, particularly curious about the Lavazza Super Crema for espresso. But I have a more basic question regarding freshness/shelf life of beans. Many of the articles I've read suggest buying as freshly roasted beans as you can find. So I've...
I too had this question for a long time. I eventually started buying online, mostly from WLL, and have been quite happy. I think one of the trade-offs is the overall quality and skill of roasting at a premium company with lots of experience versus the sort of ' seat-of-your-pants' approach of...
Appreciate the perspective of freshness and to solve the 2.2 pound bag we have found an air tight, dark container that removes air and seals without electronics. I have found Lavazza to be a superb balance with no bitterness which is important for my taste preferences. The crema is truly super...
I have been drinking the Lavazza super crema made in my Jura capresso ENA4. I am looking to try something bolder. Any suggestions?
Try Fillicori Forte, and Lavazza Tierra Intenso or Lavazza Pienaroma. You will enjoy these:)
I also Love Fillicori Delicato, but similar to Lavazza Super Crema as far as boldness.

Thursday, 24 April 2014 00:00
The Island Trees varsity softball team had an amazing 8-3 win in extra innings on April 2nd against a previously unbeaten Clarke team to improve their league record to 2-0. Ashley Melendez opened up the scoring with a solo homerun to lead off the 4th inning.
Although the team relinquished the lead in the 4th and 5thinnings, they did not let the negative turn of events get the best of them. Down one with three outs left, Sam Scharff led off the top of the 7th with an amazing bunt for a hit. Christie Ciaramitaro and Kelly Cembrale both reached on errors to keep the inning and team's hopes alive. Morgan Petry roped an RBI single up the middle to score courtesy runner, Kim Ahrens with the tying run.
An outstanding diving effort by left fielder Sam Melendez saved the game in the bottom of the 7thand kept the score tied at 3-3. Without her amazing effort on a tailing line drive the ball would have kept rolling and most likely resulted in an inside the park homerun to end the game. The Lady Dawg's came alive in the 9th. The goal was to put the ball in play any way possible and put pressure on Clarke's defense.
The result of this strategy was 5 runs off 6 hits including a sac bunt, bunt for a hit and a fielder's choice. Once again, Ashley Melendez came through with a clutch RBI single to score Christie Ciaramitaro with the go ahead run.
Alannah Basile and Sam Petry followed with back to back doubles resulting in three more RBI's. Two for Alannah and one for Sam. The win was an all-out championship team effort. The team's composure was at its all-time high, especially when their backs were to the wall and some calls from umpires did not go in their favor. They fought to the end and came out with a huge league win.

Additionally, after reading much atheist material and debating with them over the internet, I've discovered they often use mockery of God, religious leaders, and the Bible, as weapons to further their agenda. This isn't the case with all atheists, as I have had very good conversations with some of them, but ridiculing attitudes are surprisingly prevalent and strong. Character assassination, half-truths, and out-of-context Bible quotes are typical tools used by many of them in attempts to make Christianity look bad.
Now, I am not trying to dismantle the atheist position with a generic character attack aimed at them. I am only making an observation. In the majority of my dealings with atheists, I have encountered great arrogance, rudeness, and condescension. Atheists have told me that religion is only a giant con-game designed to get peoples' money, that clergymen are in business for themselves, and that I was mentally ill for believing in God. Following are some of their comments:
* "I do not want to be bound to archaic mythologies. This is the 20th century."
* "Christianity is an oppressive system used to control and manipulate people."
* "Logic demands that religion be proven wrong."
* "Christians should all be in mental wards."
* "We are free thinkers and not bound by outdated and oppressive myths."
* "Christians are sycophantic sheep."
Atheists often imply that reason is best used by them and not by Christians who, as many say, need psychological help for believing in God. This condescending attitude is a fountain for derogatory comments. I have been called stupid, absurd, illogical, and a slave to my religion. I get the impression from atheists that they are so convinced they have the truth that no other options are available to them, and that if you don't agree with them, you're not smart. Of course, they will deny this and say I am being ridiculous, but this is what I have observed -- right or wrong.
Consider some of the terms atheists use to describe themselves: "Free thinkers," "Free from religion," "Rational," etc. They use these self-descriptive terms in juxtaposition to statements of Christians as religious bigots, losers, and brainwashers. On the atheist.org website I read,
"Critical thinking, objectivity, scientific methodology, and peer review are all hallmarks of Atheism. Submission, fear, credulity, and insupportable claims are the hallmarks of religious belief."
When I read statements like this, I can't help but wonder which religion they are referring to. It can't be Christianity, because the Bible teaches us to love God and love our fellow man. It teaches that the fear of the Lord is wisdom, that truthfulness is a way of life, and that eyewitness accounts of the miraculous is one of the evidences for its validity. Of course, the atheist would argue with all of this because he must, in spite of the facts. But still, if an atheist wants to attack religion in general and Christianity specifically, he should, at least, do so objectively. But this doesn't seem to be the hallmark of the atheistic movement; at least not from what I've seen so far.
Consider the following statements from Atheists:
* "Godism is consistent with crime, cruelty, envy, hatred, malice, and uncharitableness."
* "As long as religious purposes are served, ethics, inquiry and reason are abandoned."
Are these the statements of tolerance, impartiality, truth, and sound judgment? Not at all. It seems to me that if the atheists who authored the above quotes were in power with their views of religion being cruel, evil, and unreasonable, would they then either imprison the 'offenders' or legislate complete and total annihilation of all things religious? Who would then be full of hatred, malice, and bigotry? It is something to ponder. Does atheism really teach freedom? No. It teaches bondage for its adherents and for those who disagree with it.

O'Callaghan ready for England
Ireland lock targets another Twickenham victory
Last Updated: 15/03/12 3:42pm
Donncha O'Callaghan: Ireland second row is a veteran of two Lions tours
Touring with the Lions may have corrected Donncha O'Callaghan's misconceptions over England players, but he insists the white jersey remains a "red rag" to Ireland.
All week the Irish have spoken of their enduring rivalry with England, who they meet in Saturday's climax to the RBS Six Nations at Twickenham.
Stephen Ferris accused the English of being "bad losers", while Rory Best and Rob Kearney have argued that Ireland's dominance of the fixture since 2004 is purely because they are a superior team.
Kearney also admitted his surprise that Stuart Lancaster's side defeated France in Paris last weekend.
"England shirts are a red rag to the Irish. When we play England in anything, we want to do well and perform."
Donncha O'Callaghan Quotes of the week
And O'Callaghan, who toured with the Lions in 2005 and 2009, claims that facing England awakens the competitive spirit like no other opposition.
"I wouldn't say I'm friendly with any of their players, but I've been on Lions tours with them," the 32-year-old said.
"The biggest thing I've taken away those tours is that you can build up a perception of people before you actually get to know to them.
"I remember going on Lions tours believing half these fellas are eejits (idiots) and that I wouldn't like them, only to come away thinking they're the soundest guys you could meet.
"That's definitely been the case, but come Saturday they'll be in an England shirt and nothing will change in the way we treat them.
"England shirts are a red rag to the Irish. When we play England in anything, we want to do well and perform.
"Maybe it goes back to Euro '88 (the Republic of Ireland beat England 1-0) or something like that - you tend to remember great days of Irish results against England teams.
"It lifts the place and secures bragging rights for a while.
"Sometimes you don't like to be the small nation so when you play England it's a chance to show them up."

Facebook has rapidly soared to become one of the most popular websites across the Net. Every day millions of people across the world log-in to connect with their Facebook friends. These friends may consist of family, friends, long lost relationships, colleagues or new friends. On any given day most people typically see a lot of interaction on their Facebook homepage.
While there are many advantages to being a Facebook member, there are also several drawbacks. It is important to assess the value of Facebook when determining the level of interaction you plan to spend with Facebook.
The drawbacks might be something to consider if you find yourself becoming too involved on Facebook. One of the significant problems that have resulted in society as a result of social networking sites such as Facebook is the impact and harm this interaction has caused to relationships.
All relationships in life pose the risk of being impacted. Here are a few ways Facebook friendships can harm your relationships:
• Marital and Committed Relationships
There are many ways that Facebook can harm committed relationships. Infidelity, addiction, offering too much information and inappropriate interactions are some of the many ways relationships are negatively impacted.
One of the fastest rising factors that are attributed to infidelity is social networking websites. Facebook makes it really easy for people to reconnect and one of the first things many people do is search out their old relationship partners.
Sometimes this is done out of curiosity, but other times it is done with a specific intent to rekindle old flames. Either way, if the person seeking out their old significant others is married, this treads into dangerous territory, especially if the marriage is going through a stressful period or has other issues.
For instance of a person is frustrated with their significant other, they may turn to the web to look for comradeship, support or an ear to vent to. This can be a very slippery slope, especially if the unhappy partner looks to members of the opposite sex to lean on.
A Facebook addiction is another consideration to look at when assessing how relationships are harmed. One facet of Facebook is that it tends to be overwhelming with so much information being streamed; this is especially true if there are a lot of people listed as friends. Time spent on Facebook is time spent away from the love relationship. A significant other may become jealous or frustrated from the amount of time spent on Facebook.
As part of the Facebook experience, a popular activity is sharing comments, notes, chats or photos with other members. A spouse or significant other may become upset at the types of interaction occurring or the level of personal information streamed onto the site. Often people forget that the web is a public place and comments and photos posted can be embarrassing to a mate.
• Family Relationships
Sometimes people complain, vent or share family problems when they log onto Facebook. This can lead to problematic issues in the family. When private family matters are streamed across Facebook, this can lead to marital strife, problems with children, parents or other extended family. This kind of carelessness can be devastating to family relationships.
Addiction can also impact family relationships. If a parent, child or spouse spends most of their time on Facebook, this means they are less involved with the family. This can result in anger, resentment or major friction.
Either situation can lead to a major argument or rift in the family. A family who likes to keep familial issues private may not be so keen about Facebook.
• Friendships
Facebook can also harm friendships. Insensitive comments can be made, friendships may be ignored in favor of Facebook interaction, and the addiction potential can also factor in.
It is always important to consider the feelings of others when making comments or listing photos on Facebook. There is a possibility someone's feelings may get hurt or be embarrassed over something shared, even if strides are made to keep people from seeing things posted.
As mentioned above, Facebook is not private. Sure you can customize and heighten the level of privacy, but it is never really totally private as things can be forwarded or copy/pasted off Facebook pages and e-mailed separately. There is also the interaction of groups that can be joined; these can often be seen by anyone on the Internet depending on the privacy levels set by the group's administrator.
Offline friendships can be harmed if people begin to feel neglected by their friends who are deeply immersed in Facebook. It is a problem when someone knows more about what's going on with their Facebook friends than they do their offline friendships. Additionally people may begin to connect strictly through Facebook instead of picking up a phone or making a visit which can put stress on a friendship.
• Work Relationships
It is pretty common for people to connect with bosses, colleagues and other professional relationships on Facebook. Facebook is a great networking tool, but one of the side effects is that it blurs personal and professional lives.
Many behaviors people exhibit when off the clock are quite different than the way they act when they are at work. People have to really be careful and not exhibit any levels of professionalism when on Facebook if they are connected to people they work with.
Anything that might be construed as unprofessional can really put a negative impression on a person and lead to problems in their career. Another way work relationships can be harmed is if a person is addicted to Facebook and spends the day interacting on the site. This could cause discord with colleagues and anger bosses when time is frittered away playing instead of working.
Facebook is great, but it can damage relationships if you aren't careful. Today's online interaction has begun to really blend with offline relationships and sometimes it is very difficult to maintain both.
In the early Internet days people used pseudonyms and there wasn't a big problem, but business models such as Facebook are structured to use real names. This has led to people exposing themselves wide open with their online interaction and unfortunately a negative side effect has been the way it has harmed real-life relationships. If due care isn't taken when on Facebook, people can seriously or permanently harm the people they care about.

Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (UTX) announced today at the LAAD Defence & Security International Exhibition that the Colombian Army has contracted to buy two additional S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopters. The two aircraft will augment five S-70i helicopters that arrived January 30 in Colombia to join the Special Forces of the Colombian Army's Air Assault Division.
"We thank the Colombian Armed Forces for their continued confidence in Sikorsky and the S-70i variant of the BLACK HAWK helicopter," said Jennifer Caruso, Sikorsky Vice President of Army and Air Force Programs. "We are pleased once again to be able to respond quickly to the request for new aircraft."
Like the five previous multi-mission aircraft, the two new aircraft will feature dual GPS/INS system and digital map for accurate navigation and enhanced situational awareness. The aircraft will be custom-equipped with a rescue hoist and an Integrated Vehicle Health Management System that will monitor the aircrafts' engines, transmission and rotors. The contract also includes ground support equipment, spares and technical training.
The aircraft are expected to be delivered by October 2013, and then flown by Colombian aircrew to the Army Special Operation Aviation Military base in Tolemaida.
Sold directly by Sikorsky to international militaries and government agencies, the S-70i helicopter delivers the same power and lift performance as S-70M BLACK HAWK aircraft. The S-70i model can be customized easily by Sikorsky to specific mission needs, to include radar, ballistic protection, medical litters, extended range fuel tanks, an external rescue hoist, and cargo hook among other features.
Colombia is the first South American country to buy the S-70i BLACK HAWK helicopter variant. The Colombian National Police, Colombian Air Force, and Colombian Army also operate 96 UH-60L BLACK HAWK helicopters.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., USA, is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture, and service. United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., USA, provides a broad range of high technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida newspaper says public records dispute a state agency's claims of being misled into buying risky securities by Wall Street investment firms.
The St. Petersburg Times reported over the weekend that e-mails and memos show State Board of Administration staffers ignored warnings and tried to find ways around federal regulations barring the investment of local government funds in the risky securities.
The Times says a local government investment pool run by the state agency would lose $160 million if those securities were sold today.
Board spokesman Dennis MacKee on Monday said the potential loss figure is speculative and that staffers acted in accord with advice from lawyers and within applicable regulations.

Comment: Remembrance
Comment: By Donal M Kennedy
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE not to be aware of the graves from the First World War on a visit to northern France, nor visiting them, not to pity the unfortunate young men buried there and salute their courage. But it is quite possible to feel neither sympathy nor empathy for the regimes which they served.
Many a French headstone bearing the legend "Mort Pour La France" is engraved or embossed with an Islamic crescent. The record of French governments towards the communities and nations from which those Muslim soldiers sprang is not immaculate.
Many German headstones exhibit a Star of David commemorating German citizens of the Jewish religion who served the Kaiser bravely. As a mark of disrespect to all German soldiers who served in France, the victorious French insisted that their headstones or crosses be black, in contrast to the white of the French and their allies.
People will be aware of the subsequent fate of Jewish soldiers of the Kaiser and their families who survived that war.
In Ireland, the constitutional nationalist followers of John Redmond in 1914 transmuted into physical force imperialists. Republicans, such as Desmond Fitzgerald, who voiced opposition to Irishmen joining the British forces, were beaten up for their pains by the followers of John Redmond, John Dillon and Joe Devlin. Irish nationalist symbols – harps, shamrocks, round towers and the Rock of Cashel, but no Union Jacks nor British
Crowns – were used to induce nationalists into the British forces. Joe Devlin invoked the Irish Brigade which served France following the dishonoured Treaty of Limerick to dupe nationalists into serving the successors of those who dishonoured it.
A photograph taken at College Green on 11th November 1919, the first anniversary of the Armistice, shows a phalanx of British caterpillar-tracked steel-armoured tanks, parading past a saluting base at the Bank of Ireland (formerly the Parliament) as if to shock and awe the people of Ireland.
That same morning, four Dáil deputies and the Clerk to the Dáil were arrested by British agents for participating in "An illegal assembly" – the new Irish Parliament established by popular vote.
Let those who want to wear the poppy do so. But perhaps they should understand those who do not wish to join them.

If they both are independent and strong by will they haven't need for bother their unkind and disloyal kids .

Welcome to STUDIO E.M.
Film, Music, and Media Art by Christopher Ernst can be found here.
Welcome to STUDIO E.M.
Film, Music, and Media Art by Christopher Ernst can be found here.
I develop and produce independent films and videos, work as a documentary cinematographer, teach at The New School, and perform with the instrumental band BELLS≥. I also produce original live action and animated content for Viacom's creative production studio, Catalyst, working as a Senior Video Producer. For lack of better descriptive terms, my work falls into the experimental, expanded, avant-garde or arthouse cinema categories. But an equally strong current flows under the surface of all my work that circles back to my formative experiences playing in punk bands. Disruption, anti-aesthetics, sonic dynamism, noise, collaborative creation, improvisation, D.I.Y. ethics, self-distribution, and the ideas of creative community are core concepts to which I always return. These ideas form a philosophical foundation for all my music, film, and media artworks, sometimes manifesting in the process, and sometimes in the content itself. I approach all of my activities as interrelated aspects of a larger creative practice, and I look to find connections between them whenever and wherever possible.
Born in Seattle, but raised in the Northeast, I currently live in Brooklyn. I received my MFA from the University at Buffalo Department of Media Study, where I studied with as a Dean's Fellow with artist Tony Conrad, and I received my BA in film and music from Hampshire College. I was cinematographer for the feature film, Buried Land (2010), an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and Moscow International Film Festival. In 2012, I made my feature directorial debut at Anthology Film Archives in New York with the film In Carcosa, an experimental narrative produced in part with funding from the New York State Council for the Arts. The most recent album from BELLS≥, Solutions, Silence, or Affirmations (2013), met with great success and was featured in several "best of" lists, including A.V. Club and Complex magazine. I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate and, as far as I can tell, people seem to think that I'm quite affable and pleasant to work with.
Here are selected examples of recent projects. More examples are available for your experiential pleasure upon request.

Following on from the recent closing of the George White dealership chain, V&J Superbikes has also gone into administration.
The dealership was the second largest in the country behind the now defunct George White and had sold bikes from all the major Japanese manufacturers during its 10-year history. This will come as a blow to the company's client base of bikers and motorcycle insurance policyholders, who use the dealership for purchases, servicing and advice.
The company closed both its branches in Taunton and Bridgewater in Somerset on 17 February. According to the sign left on the shop door, these closures were intended only to be temporary; however both premises have remained shut.
Nobody at the family-run business has been available for comment, phones are not being answered and the company website is currently down. Motorcycle News reported that other local dealers told them the company had not completed orders on deposits or returned bikes that had been serviced.
The range of bikes V&J sold diminished in recent months and at the time of closure, V&J was only selling Hondas. Until around three months ago, the company's website proclaimed itself to be "the UK's premier Honda and Kawasaki dealer"; however, the range steadily shrank coming into 2012.
"We can confirm V&J have ceased trading. Anyone who has put down a deposit on a new Honda should contact our customer service department and they will process the case on a case-by-case basis," a Honda spokesman told Motorcycle News.

"Grey's Anatomy" mini-cap 619 "Sympathy for the Parents"
For you lucky girls who went to The Dinah this year and got home in one piece without losing your panties, mind or self-respect in the process, welcome home! We're back in business here at Recap Central, so without further ado, let the mockery commence.
Meredith, Lexie and Derek are surprised to learn that Alex has a long-lost brother named Aaron. Well, he's not so much a long-lost brother as he is a brother Alex has forgotten to call for the past seven years. And yet, somehow, Aaron knows where Alex lives and has made a detour from his truck-driving route to get some free medical advice. And possibly, to get his lady brows touched up.
I haven't seen a dude with brows like that since I ran into Ru Paul at Nordstrom's.
Queen of the Amazing Eyebrows, herself, Callie finds Mark at the coffee cart and asks how are things going with Teddy? "I don't know if I'd call it a date," he says, "Doesn't going on a date imply that you actually go somewhere?" I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. None.
Arizona stops by to awkwardly extol the virtues of pound cake. After she wanders off to find a glass of milk, Mark throws Callie a perplexed look.
Mark: So, what exactly constitutes "pound cake?"
Callie: It's a yellow cake. Kinda heavy.
Mark: C'mon, it's code for something dirty. You eat her pound cake, she eats your pound cake…
Callie: No.
Mark: Oh please. Tell me it's dirty because otherwise, that was the most boring conversation I've ever been a part of.
Callie: We are talking about pound cake because I want a kid and she doesn't. And we are not talking about that.
The real hot topic of the day is sex. Mark tells Callie he had great poundcaking with Teddy. Teddy giddily tells Arizona that rumors of Mark's prowess are not only true, he has mad crazy skillz she didn't even know existed. Mark, the Man, the Legend, has completely redefined her idea of mind-blowing sex. Arizona says it sounds like there was a party in her panties and giggles adorably at her own joke.
In less fun news, Aaron has no health insurance and is depending on Bailey's pro bono goodness to fix the alien trying to escape out of his belly button. An older man puts his faith in Richard Webber to save his cancer-stricken wife. Why? Because he doesn't know Richard Webber. A female officer with multiple GSW's learns she'll probably lose her job for taking down three perps without backup. No brave deed goes unpunished.
Derek wants Meredith to be his baby's mama, much to her minor panic. And Cristina doesn't know how to fix Owen, who's been a total drag lately, and not in the Aaron's eyebrows kind of a way.
Later, Lexie tells the man his wife did great in surgery, even though the woman is stroking out as the words are leaving her lips. Aaron blithely tells Bailey and Meredith all of Alex's hard-scrabble childhood secrets, giving them a new apreesh for his accomplishments, and Alex a reason to kick his little brother's ass. When the subject of having babies comes up, Cristina asks a room full of surgeons, "Have ya met me?" causing Owen's eyes to steel imperceptivity for a fleeting moment. Oh great. Them, too?
Arizona innocently tells Aaron that Alex got married. And that Izzie had cancer. Aaron crinkles his lady brows in confusion. Married? Who's Izzie? Good questions, Siegfried & Roy. But that's not the point. The point is, the only person who's fully embraced blissful reticence is Owen. He's too busy with his PTSD to make idle gossip.
Teddy advises Cristina to stop telling him what to do because "he's a guy that way." And that's going to work because Cristina is all about being the quiet one.
Callie asks Bailey when is the best time to have kids. Bailey laughs the knowing laugh of motherhood and tells her half-past never is the best time.
"They take everything you've got," Bailey says matter-of-factly. "All your time, all your focus, all your patience, all your sleep. Everything, 'til you got nothing left for you." She tells Callie she was awoken that morning by a nose against hers, and a little voice saying, "Wake up." I suddenly realized why we call our girlfriends "baby."
Not ever waking up: the woman who stroked out. After a brief fight with her husband, the hospital honors her documented wishes and takes her off the respirator. And not ever having a literal baby: the officer who was shot in the line of duty. Callie tells her they had to remove her uterus to save her. Unless I've completely misunderstood female anatomy all these years, she still has eggs, no? But I don't know nothing 'bout birthing no babies.
Later that night, Arizona emerges from her shower and starts babbling about lotion. Callie is done ignoring the elephant in the womb.
Callie: I want to have a baby. And I can't talk about lotion or pound cake or anything else, because you don't want to have a baby, and I do.
Arizona: So, we're going to talk about it.
Callie: Yeah, we are going to talk about it.
Oh yes you are, lesbians. Yes, you are.
Elsewhere, Cristina comes home to find Owen making pasta for dinner. Mmm. Spaghetti prepared by someone who also gives you sex. What could be better? Nothing, that's what. Unfortunately, for Cristina, it's very cloudy with a chance of meatballs these days. After the sausage starts to burn, Owen loses his considerable temper and violently slams the entire hot pan into the sink. Cristina flinches and instinctively steps back.
"You're scared of me?" Owen asks, as if he's forgotten he ever choked her in his sleep. Cristina not only wears a catcher's mask to bed, she probably also fears for the children she doesn't even want.
I've never seen a ginger Asian, but why the hell not? I imagine it would look something like this:
Reasons to have kids:
1. Derek tells Meredith he doesn't want it to be "just her" should something happen to him.
2. You can right all the wrongs your parents did to you and be better than Alex's dirtbag dad or Meredith's cold, cold mom.
3. Someone's going to have to take care of your ass when you're 90.
Then again, that's what hot, much younger girlfriends are for. Or so I'm told.

Repair Install Hangs in Windows 7...Help
A VSS Writer System File was corrupt in Windows 7 and I decided to try a repair install. The repair appeared to be running fine (up to step 9 in the tutorial on this site) but hung while attempting to reboot.
My boot manager is showing 3 systems...the attempted repair setup, my original Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
I've tried booting Windows 7 thinking I'd try to rerun the repair after disconnecting all of my devices. Windows 7 starts normally but I can't access my C drive and when I try to run setup from the DVD I get an access denied message. Any way I can get control of my DVD?
I've also booted from the Windows 7 install disk and tried the repair option. I get a message saying that repair is unable to help.
I considered booting from Vista and running the upgrade but I don't get to choose which system to upgrade and I don't want to upgrade my Vista.
I may have to redo a fresh install of Windows 7 but I'd really prefer to retry the repair install.
Please share your suggestions....Thanks!!

As an Army combat medic, Brian Jones rarely saw any smiles. His world was dangerous and exhausting. Still, he was dedicated to helping others. As a reservist, he stands at the ready when needed but he's also pursuing his new career in healthcare administration. Graduating this past summer from ECPI University's School of Health Science, Medical Careers Institute (MCI), he is now Executive Director of the Park Place Dental Clinic in Norfolk, Virginia.
The clinic exists to serve the homeless, low-income, and under served residents of the city, providing extractions, fillings and cleanings. "I've always enjoyed helping people," says Jones. "It's what drives me to come to work every day. What we do here makes an enormous difference in people's lives. Aside from the obvious pain involved with certain dental problems, there's also an adverse effect on a person's self-confidence. Some people are embarrassed about the appearance of their teeth. Others say it keeps them from getting jobs. So, we really are changing lives."
Brian has embraced his new job with an eye on increasing the clinic's pool of volunteers. He is one of only three full-time employees that care for more than 1,300 patients per year. "All the organizational and administrative skills I developed at Medical Careers Institute – I apply them in my job every day," says Brian. "The healthcare landscape is constantly changing. Not only has MCI help me deal with what's happening today, my teachers really instilled in me a dedication to lifelong learning which will serve me well in the years to come."
Brian says one of the most important things he learned attending MCI is time management. "Today, everyone is being asked to do more with less. What first attracted me to MCI was the opportunity to earn my bachelor's in 2.5 years. I knew I would need to manage my time well to pull that off and my teachers gave me to the tools to do it. It's worked out great. If I had attended a traditional university, I would be sitting in a classroom right now instead of my own office."
"If I had attended a traditional university, I would be sitting in a classroom right now instead of my own office." – Brian Jones, 2013 Graduate, Medical Careers Institute

Tribune Investigation - Part 2 of 4
The director of Scottsdale Community College's premier performing arts institute kept his program afloat for years by faking enrollment and misappropriating scholarship money to pay its bills.
At the same time, director Steven Meredith used the program to provide his business, family, friends and church access to publicly owned equipment.
SCC also allowed Meredith to draw more than $268,000 in extra pay, sometimes for work that he already was doing as part of his regular job and sometimes for work he never did.
In 2005, after operating seven years, the Maricopa Institute for Art and Entertainment Technology folded when an internal auditor uncovered the malfeasance.
But Meredith remained with the college's music department. He received only a written reprimand and no cut in salary. In fact, he soon was given new responsibilities working with the Maricopa County Community College District's instructional advancement program, which paid him an additional $11,000 during his final two years in Scottsdale. He left in June to take over the choral program at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah.
Wrongdoing within the Scottsdale performing arts programs was just one serious problem within MCCCD discovered by auditors over the past few years.
A Tribune review of numerous auditors' reports along with interviews with college officials, faculty and staff showed that auditors frequently found fraud, mismanagement and other substantial concerns at community colleges. But officials, including the district's elected governing board, paid little attention to the auditors' findings and recommendations.
Employees discovered to have falsified records, misused taxpayer money or hired relatives were routinely shifted to different jobs or permitted to resign quietly. In multiple cases, college officials did not inform law enforcement when employees were suspected of committing crimes, nor did they require reimbursement when taxpayer dollars were misappropriated.
At SCC, the art and entertainment institute was created by Meredith in 1998 and it almost immediately suffered from a lack of students. In 2002, SCC officials asked auditors to investigate the institute, but that review was put on hold for a year while the auditors — there are only three for the entire district — were working on what seemed like more pressing concerns at other colleges.
When an auditor began reviewing the institute's operations in 2004, he discovered:
• To pay the cost of running the program, Meredith siphoned off scholarship money intended for students throughout the district.
• Meredith frequently used the college's equipment and employees for projects benefiting his private production company and those close to him.
• Encouraged by Meredith, professors and other employees enrolled in classes they didn't need to take to keep the classes from being canceled and to make the institute appear healthy.
The institute spent $2.5 million on equipment, performances and salaries in the six years it received regular funding. During most of that time it could not attract enough students to justify its existence, enrollment records show.
In all, 17 professors, technicians and clerical employees signed up for classes to deceive college officials. The institute's secretary, who uses a wheelchair, told the auditor that at Meredith's request she enrolled in a dance class. So did a sound technician whose spine is fused.
Meredith did not respond to multiple calls for comment. The Tribune provided his attorney, Alan Hyde of Mesa, a list of questions, which Hyde says the former institute director declined to answer.
Last year, in a written response to the audit, Meredith called the inquiry a "witch hunt." He hired Hyde to represent him, and officials ultimately wrote a letter reprimanding Meredith only for his misuse of equipment and some questionable travel.
The letter did not mention any concerns over fraud.
SCC President Art DeCabooter acknowledged that issues raised by the auditor, including the misuse of thousands of dollars of scholarship money, were major problems and that he and other college officials did little about them.
DeCabooter says he wanted to fire Meredith, but the college's attorneys overruled him, arguing that the risk of Meredith suing was too great.
"They had questions whether or not we would prevail legally because of the complicated, convoluted or intertwined things," DeCabooter says. "That doesn't make you happy, but that's what happened."
The institute was designed to be a two-year program providing topperforming art students with onstage experience and industry connections.
The institute planned to accept only the top 5 percent of students from the district's art programs, offering internships in their chosen industry and collaboration on large-scale performances. Students would have to apply and compete for spots.
Classes would be far from traditional.
While the institute based some course work on lectures, much of the instruction focused on developing the multimedia productions that intermingled music, graphic arts, dance and documentary filmmaking. Whole courses would be devoted to setting up sound and lights for a show.
Paul Elsner, then chancellor of the junior college district, gave Meredith, a music professor and choir director at the time, the seed money to launch the institute. SCC housed the institute, but it was open to students throughout the district.
The institute began offering classes in 1998. The faculty and students all came from SCC.
Bryan Hollar was accepted into the institute in its first year to study show management and says the instruction he would later receive at Arizona State University was boring by comparison — at ASU, students received lectures; at the Scottsdale college they helped create art.
"I credit the job I have now on what I learned there," says Hollar, who works for a Santa Fe, N.M., company that engineers technology for opera houses around the world.
But turf wars developed after the first year, says Joe Ortiz, an SCC communications professor who was chairman of the fine arts division during the institute's existence.
Artistic talent is hard to come by at junior colleges because the best students graduating from high school often go straight to universities. Few professors at SCC, let alone those at the district's nine other campuses, were willing to let their brightest students go, says Carley Conder, an SCC dance professor.
The institute formed a dance company called Instinct to perform in all of its shows. A few calls were made to other dance departments in the district in search of students interested in auditioning, but none responded, she says. "People didn't want their best dancers going to this other group."
As a result, Instinct struggled to find more than six students skilled enough for the challenging choreography, though it was envisioned to include 15 dancers.
So instructors joined the company and enrolled in classes, as well, Conder says.
Conder says Meredith convinced her to enroll as a student to avoid creating a "conflict of interest between me as directorchoreographer and me as a dancer."
Patricia Bodell, Meredith's wife and the college's dance director, was another accomplished dancer who enrolled in lower-level classes. She declined to comment for this article.
In fact, Bodell's name was on the rosters of three beginning dance classes in the same semester, the Tribune found. Tuition waiver requests, which employees must complete for the college to pay their tuition, show Bodell was allowed to join two sections of modern dance and a ballet course.
Christine Hoeffler, then a secretary for the fine arts division, says she spotted Bodell's name on a beginning dance class roster and went to her boss, Ortiz, then the fine arts chairman, with the information.
There was no legitimate reason for Bodell to be there, Hoeffler says. "It was the one person that should not have been enrolled in that class."
Ortiz says he cannot remember Hoeffler's warning, but recalls that about that time he was informed that an institute class was filled with instructors' children.
The class was canceled, but no other action was taken against the institute or Meredith for the enrollment fraud.
"That was a problem," Ortiz says. "That was huge."
DeCabooter, the SCC president, says the institute did not have enrollment quotas like other classes and programs.
However, in interviews with the district auditor and the Tribune, several of the institute's employees say Meredith specifically asked them to sign up for classes because there were too few real students.
"I went through (the program) twice," Randall Huot, a sound technician and instructor at the institute, says. "I never did get my certificate or my sheepskin or anything from that."
Huot says he was enrolled in numerous classes, including a dance class that he says he never showed up for. He couldn't dance anyway — his spine is fused and upper-body movement is difficult.
For an electronic music class, Huot was the instructor as well as a student. He says he gave himself an A.
Within two years of its launch, the institute began to disintegrate. Instructors were protesting their compensation, and students were complaining that instruction was not as rigorous as promised.
The college's arts and motion picture departments withdrew from participation in the institute.
Still, Meredith kept the institute alive another five years, and it grew substantially — at least on paper.
The institute collected about $200,000 to operate its first year; that figure doubled the second year and had tripled by the fourth year.
In 2000, with only the music and dance departments still involved, the number of students entering the institute began dropping, says James O'Brien, then a technical director for the institute.
The institute began accepting any student it could, silently dropping all pretenses about being an elite program, O'Brien says. "It wasn't a waiting list of qualified people who wanted to participate. It was these minimums that just satisfied what was being asked of the enrollment side."
The district's internal auditor, Jody LaBenz, found that a third of all the institute's students had never even submitted an application.
Even though the institute was struggling to attract students, the district continued to pump money into it. In its fourth year, it received $600,000 from the district.
Meredith found other sources of income, too, as he worked to keep the institute functioning. College officials now say they believe he was wrongfully spending tens of thousands of dollars without approval and then telling them later he did not know the rules.
In July 2002, SCC accountants discovered that the college's scholarship fund was short more than $26,000. They traced the discrepancy to Meredith, says Carl Couch, business services director.
The institute did not have the authority to tap these scholarships because it was a district program, separate from the rest of the campus.
Nevertheless, at the beginning of the 2001 school year, Meredith directed a financial aid employee to grant scholarships to all institute students through the music department's account.
Covering that cost kept students in the program — and money flowing in — that he might have lost if the institute charged tuition. Some of those scholarship recipients were employees, budget records show.
Meredith was a well-known music professor, and the financial aid employee had little reason to question his instructions, says Virginia Stahl, the college's vice president for student affairs.
"The faculty were able to tell financial aid people, 'This is what's going on,' " Stahl said.
Once the college confirmed Meredith was responsible for the scholarship shortage, SCC responded by pulling $26,000 out of the institute's budget, triggering a financial crisis, budget records show.
Couch says the reimbursement closed the matter.
Again, Meredith was not punished.
Asked by the Tribune why the scholarship misappropriation was not taken more seriously, DeCabooter responded: "I can't answer that."
Though SCC officials stopped the scholarship fund transactions within their own college, Meredith continued to draw tens of thousands of dollars out of a scholarship account with the Maricopa College Foundation, an independent fundraising organization that provides scholarships separately from the college.
He withdrew thousands of dollars more than the institute had deposited in its account.
Rather than freeze the institute's account, the foundation continued to provide Meredith with all the scholarship money he requested. Foundation officials now say they were not aware Meredith granted scholarships to all institute students.
"It's a trust system we had with them," says Alma Padilla, the foundation's operations director.
When the institute closed, it owed the foundation $13,000. That money would otherwise have gone to students in other parts of the junior college system.
Meredith began teaching music at SCC in 1989 and took over the student choir his first year. To direct the choir, he was paid $1,482 on top of his salary under a "special service" contract, a standard reimbursement for work that falls outside of an instructor's regular work hours or duties.
By the time Meredith retired from SCC in June, he had received 112 of the contracts, totaling $268,185 in extra pay, records show.
"I'm floored by that amount," says Ortiz, the former fine arts division chairman, who reviewed the newspaper's finding.
Most of the contracts were processed through Ortiz's office before being approved by one of the college's vice presidents.
A number of the contracts appear legitimate, including the $24,152 he was paid to lead the student choir for several years and the $78,962 he earned for directing MCTV.
But other contracts involved payments for work he never performed.
Starting in 1991, Meredith regularly received contracts to direct operas at the campus. Records indicate he was paid to produce 11 operas, netting him $27,351.
The Tribune could find no record of any opera being cast, let alone performed at SCC. None of the more than two dozen past and present employees interviewed could recall an opera being produced on campus.
In addition, Meredith was paid $8,724 in 2003 to direct two shows for the institute. Those shows were developed as part of courses Meredith was teaching and that his salary already covered.
That year, Meredith received 10 special service contracts, adding $32,050 to his roughly $80,000 salary.
Before he received payment, the contracts had to be approved by three SCC administrators. In many cases, records show, Meredith's requests were first reviewed by Stephen Green, then head of the music department and a close friend of his.
The district's governing board fired Green in July for purchasing expensive microphones from his son, attempting to cover up the transaction and failing to teach his electronic music class beyond the first lecture. The auditor discovered Green's activity as part of the investigation into Meredith and the institute.
Green declined comment through his attorney, Janet Feltz of Phoenix.
After Green signed off on the contracts, they were passed up to Ortiz at the fine arts division. Ortiz says he did not review the requests before forwarding them for final approval to a vice president, often Stahl, head of student services.
"Not having an art background, I have no way of . . . making a judgment as to whether or not what they have chosen is truly of sound academic" value, Ortiz says.
Stahl says she assumed that, once the contract requests made it to her office, the division chair, Ortiz, had determined the requests had merit and signed them. Her signature approved 18 of Meredith's contracts, worth $46,000, including six to direct operas.
Meredith also used SCC's equipment to perform work outside the college, jobs that benefited Meredith, his friends and his family, auditors found.
On multiple occasions in 2004, Meredith packed up recording equipment, hauled it off campus and spent several hours recording the Arizona Mormon Choir — which he directed.
When confronted by the auditor, Meredith argued that the choir recording was part of a scholarship drive, not a favor for his church.
Ralph Horlacher, a Valley developer involved with the Mormon choir, donated $10,000 to the institute in exchange for recording work, Meredith explained in a written response to the auditor's report.
But the auditor contends that the contribution was actually payment for other work Meredith did, producing marketing materials for one of Horlacher's businesses, Space-X-Doors, a firm that sold doors disguised as bookcases.
Horlacher says the institute was working on his marketing project as part of a student internship, but that the donation was purely philanthropic.
According to the audit report, Meredith also produced the Romance Writers of America's annual award show, using institute employees and its film-editing equipment.
Meredith also allowed his stepson's band to record a demo CD and a member of his church to record an entire album in the campus studio, the report shows.
DeCabooter, the SCC president, says that by 2004 he had become concerned about Meredith and assigned Sharon Blanton, then dean of technology services, to watch the institute closely. Blanton, now a vice chancellor with the Pima County Community College District, did not return calls for comment.
About that same time, MCCCD Chancellor Rufus Glasper received an anonymous letter alleging Meredith was orchestrating a massive fraud at the institute. He sent the letter to DeCabooter and the auditor.
That finally got the auditor back on the investigation of the institute, the same review DeCabooter had requested two years earlier but that had been put on hold.
It didn't take long for the auditor, Jody LaBenz, to confirm the anonymous allegations and DeCabooter's suspicions.
"The continuing pattern of questionable activity, nepotism and ethical lapses does not illustrate a pattern that indicates errors in judgment," LaBenz wrote after his first interview with Meredith. "Instead, this continuing pattern shows an attempt to pursue activities that benefit you individually, above the MIAET program or the music program."
In his report, LaBenz placed a share of the blame with SCC's top administrators for their faulty oversight of Meredith and the institute.
DeCabooter contends he was helpless until the auditor's investigation was finished, regardless of what he knew.
"Had the audit been completed in a timely fashion," DeCabooter says, "we wouldn't have had all this."

Nick Stahl: Missing Actor's Wife Fears Drug Useby Free Britney at . Comments
Actor Nick Stahl's family filed a missing-person report Monday, but there were ongoing issues that predated the Terminator 3 star's disappearance.
According to court papers, he was involved in a custody battle with wife Roseann, who reported Nick Stahl missing, over their 2-year-old daughter Marlo.
She filed in February requesting that Nick not be allowed unsupervised visits with their daughter. She also requested both legal and physical custody.
Nick and Roseann are still married, but estranged and living apart.
Roseann, 30, also stated that in 2011 she estimated the Terminator Salvation actor's income to be $500,000 while she listed her own income as $0.
She said her total monthly expenses were $6,065. In March, she subsequently requested Nick pay $3,807 monthly in child support, and he agreed.
It's unclear if Nick Stahl's drug problems played a role in his disappearance, but they were bad enough to worry Roseann at the time he vanished.
He was granted only supervised visitation with their child, however, and was barred from consuming alcoholic beverages or narcotics within 24 hours.
He was also ordered to provide a negative drug test result for marijuana, cocaine and alcohol within 24 hours prior to every scheduled visitation.
"Thank you for the kind words," Roseann tweeted, along with a plea for anyone with information about Nick's whereabouts to contact the LAPD.

Maybe the terminator came back in time and finally finished his mission.
He is only human, wife gone, took child, drugs? who could blame him, life sucks and then you die. Maybe he is in some hotel room sleeping off a bender.....let's hope eh...
Nobody click the link in the comment that says "Terminator 3 Star Nick Stahl Missing last photo and disappearnce reason revealed here". There is no photo, there is no reason. It is just a completely horribly edited, spelled, and written copy of this exact same story... only 5 pages shorter and with obvious grammar issues.
Someone please find him.....that's her money bag!
