More than 8,000 people turned out for a weekend of entertainment in St Ives.
Thousands lined the town's streets on Saturday for the Commonwealth-themed carnival procession led by carnival queen Katie Northrop and princesses Ava Frohock and Leontina Koleva.
Wheatfields School won the best overall float, with other wins for the Snowman Festival, Smart Travel and CIFA Majorettes.
On the Sunday, more than 5,000 people turned up for the music festival at Hill Rise Park, which featured 11 bands, including Matt and Jess, Glamtastic and Up and Atom.
St Ives mayor Councillor Brian Luter, who joined the procession in a beach buggy, said: "It was fantastic to see so many people out and about in the town for both events.
"There were a number of funfair rides and foodstalls, which we would not have been able to have at the previous venue, Warner's Park. The float competition was won by Westfield as it had the best decoration, the fun the children were having on the float and it met the theme of the Commonwealth."

Come on Hunts Post. Your details in your reports are terrible once again. It should say "the float competition was won by Wheatfields as it had the best decoration" Not Westfield as they were not even in the parade. Also looking through the gallery you have St.Ivo Samba band caption underneath the pictures that are Wheatfields School and also saying Eastfield School who also didn't take part underneath a Wheatfields school photo.

Can someone explain to me the angst people have towards smaller food packaging?
- ipsedixit Nov 9, 2008 08:48 PM
Yes, I know it sucks to pay the same amount of money for a smaller box of cereal, or carton of ice cream, or jar of peanut butter.
But what's the alternative?
Would people be happier, or less peeved, if the food packaging size stayed the same but the price increased?
I'm not necessarily happy about either of these alternatives, but I've simply come to accept it as (1) part of general inflation (2) rising commodity prices (3) corporate profits and (4) a combo of all three.
Same price, smaller packaging ... "food companies are being deceptive! shame on them!"
Higher price, same packaging ... "food companies are being greedy! shame on them!"
I just don't get the angst ... esp. when the alternative isn't all that better.
The packaging itself is rarely smaller, and someone used to buying a product rarely checks the amount. If the companies consistently used smaller packages it would not be as misleading.
For recipes that have units based on, for example, "one can" it will throw off the recipe - especially for baking.
I haven't noticed any reduced sized packaging. What I have noticed is regular or larger sized packaging that is as little as half full when you open it. That ticks me off! Not because of any "overcharging" (you do buy by weight or count, which is unchanged), but the extra shelf space it takes up is a pain.
re: Caroline1
Good point. Make it smaller overall, fill it to brim, list the volume, etc., and be done with it. Let's campaign for more choices within the same shelf space and not waste packaging, whether it's paper, or plastic.
""But what's the alternative?"
I pay for the better/larger part of a deal, whenever possible.
Now, not always is the family/giant/bulk size item be a better deal. I mean cost per ounce can be higher in the larger form, for some odd reason. Items placed on sale or feature will generally be of a brand's general moving size. I have seen people debating in getting a large #10 can vs several other cans of the same item and have no clue of which way to go. I looked and at the time the #10 can of beans was 11 cents per oz, with the regular cans going for 7 cents a can while on sale, 9 cents was the regular price.
I lose my cool whenever they expect me to pay beyond what I feel as reasonable for whatever the item is. Like recently Save-A-Lot started carrying barley at $2.49 a box when I can get it everyday for under $1.40. The stuff can develop shelf rot as far as I am concerned.
re: lgss
Yes. The trend right now seems to be packaging individual serving sizes (i.e. 100 calorie packs) in little bags in a box of 8. All that extra material for far less food. It just seems so lazy and wasteful to not take the time to put a serving size of Cheez-its in your own reuseable container.
As the saying goes, you cannot please everyone. Jfood agrees that the angst people have to payingthe same for smaller packages is understandable but the level of the vitriol seems a bit much. Companies are trying to survive and they have three choices:
1 - keep package size the same andincrease price
2 - shrink package size and keep the price the same
3 - decrease the expenses associated with the contents usually by reducing quality
Sometimes companies do more than one of these.
Jfood also understands in these times it is important to watch every dollar and the idea that thepound of coffee is now 12 oz or the half gallon of ice cream has shrunk 12-25% is unnerving. but it's just part of life. Jfood remembers $0.05 candy bars, change back from your dollar at McD's and $0.15 bread. But times are different and everything is more expensive. Remember gasoline at $0.29 per gallon?
The one thingthat bothers jfood is many of his recipes call for a 28oz can of something and the new size is 22 oz. Now what to do, by 2 and place most of can 2 in a container in the fridge? Sorta adds to the cost of the dish.
And in CT/NY the grocers have not only the price for anitem but the comparable price for an item. So the can at 28 oz can be compared per ounce to the can sized at 22.8 oz. If you want to see some interesting differences look at detergent and soap for dishes, huuuuge spread.
So is jfood happy, nope, but he does the best he can, reads the size of the container and the price per oz and then decides which to buy.
re: jfood
I do not know how large your family is (the one dining at the Jfood table most nights), but for me, I choose #2, then #1, and please, please do not even consider #3.
Down the way, you relate to size/quantity disparities. I'm all for a pack of Johnsonville Brats containing 8, not 10 brats, to match the number of buns in a pack. I get more upset over that little disparity, than any package re-sizing. What do I do with those two extra brats? My Bulldogs are on a special diet! Still, I loose not sleep over this issue. It is, as it has been, and I've gotten by for all these years, with little damage, or even lost sleep.
"The one thingthat bothers jfood is many of his recipes call for a 28oz can of something and the new size is 22 oz. Now what to do, by 2 and place most of can 2 in a container in the fridge? Sorta adds to the cost of the dish. "
And he, or Mrs Jfood, buys a nice kitchen calculator. Hey, I have an old slide rule to give ya'...
Oh, did I urge the producers to NOT choose door #3?
re: Bill Hunt
Jfood is indifferent to #1 and #2 since he eats everything that comes into the house. And he agrees #3 is unacceptable.
Jfood had that same argument with the last two hot dog rolls last week. HN and Pepperidge farm have different hot dog & bun counts. Always a WTF moment.
And jfood did have a slide rule so he understands the concept all to well. Infact he actually used one in HS for a test. And he has a great digital scale.
And currently there are M&M jfood in a normal dinner with me sitting between them looking for hand outs. Every Sunday night one of the little jfoods comes over with a friend to keep the jfoods young.
The "angst", as you probably inaccurately term it, has to do with the fact that the change is designed to be stealth.
When was the last time you saw a box of cereal that said "New! Smaller Size!"?
Hence, what you consider angst is more properly anger.
A price increase, however, announces itself more transparently.
Environmentally, it's less efficient to have to buy more packages of a smaller-sized item.
re: Karl S
I disagree.
Nowhere is a company required to announce or advertise* that its product size has changed -- either bigger or smaller.
*Of course, every box is required to state its size in terms of volume, as miniscule as it might be sometimes -- it's there nonetheless.
re: ipsedixit
Hey, ipsedixit. I think Karl was being a bit sarcastic...
re: RShea78
I'd rather pay the higher price for the same amount, and I don't think it's greedy of the companies. But, apparently most others think otherwise, as there is a long-standing tradition in the food industry to reduce the amounts for the same price. The difference this time is that it affects long-standing typical packaging amounts, like 1/2 gallon of ice cream. Plus, that one was done in quick succession to two different smaller sizes, first to 1.75 quarts and now to 1.5 quarts in at least some brands. And I believe there are a few 14-15oz "pints" out there as well, though the Haagen-Dazs in my freezer says "One Pint" (I just looked ;-) So, I think it's a little touchier this time than in the past. I mean, it's kinda one thing if the box of crackers drops by an ounce when you really think of it in terms of "box" and not in terms of its weight or volume. It's quite another when you think of a "half gallon" of ice cream, and the packaging is the same or similar size, and you find that it now contains less.
How about if suddenly the price on many gas station signs was for 3/4 a gallon? How would that go over? Not well, I suspect. :-)
re: CrazyOne
""How about if suddenly the price on many gas station signs was for 3/4 a gallon? How would that go over? Not well, I suspect. :-)""
A local Town store took lots of heat for changing how the Deli sold cold-cuts, several years ago.
The store got cute and used "price per 1/2 pound" instead of "price per pound". The Town wasn't ready for such change, as I recall, the idea came from larger city Deli's. Today that former popular Deli is history, but I believe some stores still price their pricey- high end cold cuts in 1/2 pound increments.
I don't get the angst. It's really a matter of half a dozen of one, 6 of another. You're going to pay higher prices regardless. It's also been going on for a while, at least for some items.
Pepperidge Farms cookies has reduced the count/ozs several times over the years. When you notice it, it's like gee com'n but you get over it.
re: queencru
My sister had a disaster when she got some imported pasta that was mistaken for a pound. (It was a metric size that was a bit over 17or 18oz, but I do not know the exact measure) Her baked dish then didn't have enough liquid content so it came out somewhat crunchy in the double recipe.
I understand the need for price increases one way or the other, but when the package size is the same with less product, it smacks of deception.
And jfood makes a good point--recipes call for x amount of an ingredient based upon the original package size. You either must attempt to reduce other ingredients to compensate for a lesser amount of the repackaged ingredient (obviously this would depend on what you're making whether it would make a big difference) or buy a second package and have leftovers.
I wouldn't mind paying more for the original size package. Neither would I mind paying the original price for a smaller package. What cheeses me off is when the package APPEARS to be the original size, but is actually smaller...like the peanut butter jars with a huge punt in them. Come on...PB doesn't need a punt. They're just being deceptive in their packaging, hoping the consumer wouldn't notice. Well, I *did* notice, so I bought another brand - a brand where the jar didn't have a punt.
re: ricepad
What's a punt?
re: mordacity
It's that indentation at the bottom of a wine bottle or other vessel. It's usually used for champagne to help "strengthen" the bottle so it doesn't explode. Adam
I feel that it is basically something else for people to complain about. Personally, I like smaller packages, as it's usually just the wife and me dining. Large packages go to waste. That's why I buy very little food at Costco. What couple needs a 55 gal. drum of Dijon mustard?
The other part of this equation is that the news media has focused on this, to show "consumer outrage." I'm not sure there is much "outrage." OK, so NBC finds four people, tell them that the size of familiar food packages have been reduced and then record their reactions. It finds a common ground with many consumers. "The big corporations are charging us the same, but giving us less... " Again, all of victims come forth and write their newspapers, or e-mail the consumer reporter of their favorite TV station.
To me, it's pretty much a non-issue. The newer packaging offers me a better option. I'd rather have that, than a price increase on a large bag/box, etc.
Obviously personal thoughts and perspective, and others might have differing opinions.
Recently, I watched a TV news panel discussing the US economy. There was a moderator, who was an "anchor-type," while the panel members were contributors to that network. The issue posed was "consumer confidence down, why?" After a lot of discussion on various reasons, the moderator interjected, "do you think that our broadcasting of how BAD everything is, 24 hours a day, might have some weight on this?" The panel fell into silence and the TD had to cut to a commercial. If Oprah tells us it's bad, we believe it and boycott the food products producers with signs and rants.
re: Bill Hunt
I sighed, but accepted it when my boyfriend's fave healthy cereal sized down its box yet kept the price the same. Last week, I noticed that the box art had changed. This is going to require me to "out" the product, but what the hell. The previous box read: "Nature's Path Organic Optimum Power Cereal". Underneath the title was the following: "Flax-Soy-Blueberry". The new box carries a small print message at the top which reads: "New Look! Same Great Optimum Power Taste!", yet consider the new information and title: "Nature's Path Organic Optimum". Underneath the altered title is the following: "Blueberry Cinnamon". The ingredients haven't changed, but clearly the contents have. Some ingredients have moved up or down the list, meaning that the composition of this cereal has changed. Additionally, the serving size weight measurement has remained the same, but the volume measurement has changed, as have the calorie count, fat content, sodium content, sugar content, protein content, carb content and most importantly, fibre content. I realize that this is most likely a cost cutting measure, but using the serving size weight measurement, which hasn't changed, the per-serving fibre content of this cereal has dropped from 12g to 7g. This, to me, is an outrage. We pay extra for this cereal because it is (or was) so packed with goodness (flax, blueberries, wheat bran, kamut, soy, oat bran, etc. While 7g of fibre is nothing to sneeze at, what happened to the other 5g? They didn't get scrapped because the consumers were getting the runs from so much fibre in one bowl, that's for sure. They got the axe because they are costly ingredients. I can't believe this company has sacrificed both quality and health benefits just to keep the price down. I'd rather pay an extra dollar per box to have the original formula and not be subject to outright falsehoods printed on the packaging to snow me into thinking I'm getting the "Same Great Optimum Power Taste!". There's a reason that the title no longer contains the word "Power". It's NOT the same cereal. Needless to say, we're pissed about this. We don't like being deliberately misled. We also don't like being ripped off, which is what I see happening in this case. I'm not a cereal eater. I don't care for it, but I have to say, this particular item was quite tasty, which is a feat for something so healthy. It won't be easy to find something that is comparable to the previous incarnation. I suspect that he'll stop using this product as soon as he runs out. Sour grapes will prevent him from choosing another product from the company. Was it worth it for them to change the cereal vs. raising the price? In our case, absolutely not!
re: 1sweetpea
I think we will see more, rather than less, of this, as certain ingredients begin to cost more. Not sure what a producer would be better off doing - down-scaling, managing ingredients, or charging more. Tough call for the product managers.
For me, I'd say keep the premium ingredients and charge me what it costs. With regards to size, I find that for a family of two, many sizes are a bit large to begin with, but that is just me. If I had a couple of teenagers, I'd probably be buying the 35 gal. drums of stuff from Costco. You know, the ones that come with their own handtruck.
What I hate is when we find a great product, that satisfies us completely and it disappears from the face of the Earth. Thank goodness for the Internet, as we can often find the producer and just order the product in, because no retailer carries it any longer. Just ordered a case of a particular salsa, because Phoenix no longer handles it in any retailer within 50 miles of us. Sign of the times. All retailers will have 1,000 jars of Pace salsa, but not the producer that we love - shelf space, I guess.
re: Bill Hunt
"What I hate is when we find a great product, that satisfies us completely and it disappears from the face of the Earth."
Oh, exactly! You find the perfect frozen dinner for when you too sick to cook and poof! one day the package boldly announces "Now with more chicken!" Those little words seem so innocuous as they pronounce doom upon your happiness. The product has been re-engineered to please someone other than yourself. (It was cheaper chicken, of course.)
Barilla just got me within the last few months or so by making their wonderful linguine to cook in a shorter amount of time. They accomplished this by making it thinner, and hence it is no longer the perfect size. Perhaps now it matches the boxes of Prince and whatnot on the shelves next to it, but I am left with tears in my mushroom pasta (linguine with mushroom sauce).
re: saltwater
Most of my inferences, it was less a "new & improved," and more a total loss of the product in my market. Thanks to the Internet.
While I attempt to support the local purveyor, it's been all too common for us. Then, I go to the Internet and order a case.
I do hate the meddeling with a proven recipe though. If it's been good, then keep it. If you wish to introduce a variation, make it separate. If I like the new, I'll buy it, but please, please do not discontinue the old. Maybe we're just not atuned to the "latest, greatest... " and enjoy what we enjoy.
I hate when a producer messes with perfection in my eyes, like the linguine.
Good call,
I have to agree with others who say it's the deceptive nature of packaging changes that irks me. I don't mind paying more for a product when changes in the market warrant it. I do not like the methods of marketers when they try to pull the wool over our eyes, downsizing packages in less-than-obvious ways. I can't tell you exactly how many ounces are in a bag of chips or a jar of mayonnaise, so I most definitely won't notice when the size changes by an ounce or two.

Recently reunited rap group OutKast are filling up their schedules for 2014 after now being added to the upcoming Hangout Festival in Alabama.
According to reports, Andre 3000 and Big Boi will grace the stage amongst the likes of younger hip-hop generations like Wiz Khalifa and Chance the Rapper.
The pair will be sharing the stage with the Black Keys, the Killers, Jack Johnson, Queens of the Stone Age, Pretty Lights, the Flaming Lips, the Avett Brothers, Modest Mouse and many more. Coming days after announcing that they will be playing their first shows in a decade, including Coachella, Delaware's Firefly Festival, Governor's Ball and Georgia's Counterpoint Festival — Outkast's Hangout gig is the fifth date in a promised 40-date festival run. Hangout hip-hop fans can also look forward to catching Wiz Khalifa, Le1f, emerging Chicago wordsmith Chance the Rapper, and Childish Gambino, who should recreate his "3005" video on the ferris wheel. (Rolling Stone)
The news comes a day after buzz about OutKast putting together a reunion LP heated up the Internet.
OutKast will embark on 40-date festival run later this year, so the rumors of a new album should only intensify. But last night on Howard Stern's radio show, former Kast manager Queen Latifah dumped a whole gallon of gasoline on those dreams, telling Stern that Big Boi and Andre 3000 are "about to work on a new album." (Complex)
Three Stacks and Daddy Fat Sax will appear at New York's annual Governors Ball later this year.
The fest will be issuing hints about the rest of its lineup, which will feature over 80 artists, on its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts in the coming days. The first of these looks like white noise on a television screen. The second is a picture of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur together. Governors Ball will announce its complete lineup, which may explain these pics, next week. Tickets to the fest will also go on sale next week. (Rolling Stone)
Coachella's official line-up surfaced online last Wednesday (January 8) night and confirmed OutKast's presence.
The long-anticipated reunion of OutKast was made official on Wednesday as organisers of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival released this year's lineup of acts. The Atlanta hip-hop duo consisting of Andre 3000 and Big Boi will hit the Coachella stage at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California after a seven-year hiatus. 'Share it like a polaroid picture! OutKast, Muse, Arcade Fire + more #Coachella,' organizers of the annual music festival tweeted with a reference to Hey Ya! from OutKast's 2003 double album. More than 150 acts, from ASAP Ferg to ZZ Ward, were included in the lineups for the music festival that will holds its first weekend of performances from April 11 to 13 and its second weekend from April 18 to 20. (Daily Mail)

It may already have been discussed, and i'm sure either way it will cause a lot of debate for and against.
Would be nice if we could fit it in, to have a short profile of the school under the avatar, i think it's more important than the location which could be 'dancefloor', 'server room' etc. there's still room to abuse and / or be secretive, but for those that want, an optional set of fields for institution type, size, etc would be nice.
I've read a few threads recently, where i'd like to put the posters view in the context of where they are working. Also, it would save having to explain, i'm from a primary of 300, i'm international etc.
Not sure what to do with companies, but they could just have it listed optionally too, nothing that would be deemed promotion, but just if they choose to have it shown, then institution could be 'supplier', 'tech support', 'la', 'lurker' etc.

Last week, the Morgan County basketball program hosted the Bulldog Basketball Camp for young athletes between the ages of seven and 13. Fifty-five participants attended the camp, which took place between 8 a.m. and noon from Monday to Friday of last week. The cost of the program was $50 per camper. Coach Milfred Franklin, who has also been instrumental during the basketball program's Hoop Dogs summer season, directed the camp. "We focused on basketball fundamentals, teamwork, sportsmanship and make it enjoyable for the kids," said Coach Franklin. On June 29, the Hoop Dogs will host another Saturday of games, which will take place at both the middle school and high school gyms.

It wasn't long ago that Amanda Bynes was on top of the world, thanks to TV hits like The Amanda Show and What I Like About You, and roles in the films What a Girl Wants and Easy A. But then the actress dropped out of the spotlight -- until a few months ago, at least.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the very weird behavior began -- from calling everyone ugly to obsessing about her looks, Bynes' strange life off-screen began to be revealed via her Twitter account.
But now it appears that the actress' antics have gone too far, and she may finally be getting the help that she needs.
After leaving N.Y.C. and traveling to L.A., Bynes somehow ended up outside of a retirement community in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Sunday night. She was accused of being drunk and trespassing, reports TMZ, and was sent away by police. No one seems to know why she was there in the first place.
If that wasn't bad enough, the trouble continued last night when Bynes started a fire in the driveway of what appears to be a random home, also in Thousand Oaks. Police were called -- again -- and according to TMZ, the actress has now been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, meaning they can keep her hospitalized for 72 hours of evaluation. Britney Spears was placed in similar protective custody back in 2008.
Bynes did grow up in the Thousand Oaks area, but it is still a mystery why she decided to return to the town over the last few days. Of course, the latest chapter in the star's downward spiral shouldn't come as much of a surprise when you notice that she hasn't tweeted in the past three days -- sadly, she was busy doing other things.
It's been a rough year for the actress, and it's been difficult to keep track of all the trouble she's gotten into lately. Here's an updated timeline of how she wound up on mental lockdown.
Date: April 4, 2013
Incident: Amanda Bynes admits she has an eating disorder ... on Twitter.
Details: Proving that Twitter can often be confused for a psychiatrist, Bynes tweets, "I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin." She later claims, "I'm suing certain blogs and magazines saying I have a mental illness! They take pictures anytime I've gained weight then write a fake story! They write a news article about every tweet I write and I hate the pictures they choose. They repeat what I tweet then add a bad photo. Only use photos from my twitter when writing an article about me."
Date: April 15, 2013
Incident: "I'm Sucking On A Sour Patch Kid Listening To Music Getting Ready For Tonight :D"
Details: Bynes posted this terrifying video to her Telly account showing her getting ready for a night out. When mocked for the upload by Complex magazine, Bynes lashes out, "I'm obsessed with myself on twitter. Also, my video last night was perfection."
Date: April 25, 2013
Incident: Amanda Bynes shaves half her head
Details: Sure, fashion is fashion, but we couldn't help but think of Britney Spears' 2007 meltdown when Bynes debuted her new, Cassie-inspired shaved haircut. "I buzzed half my head like @cassie! No more old photos! This is the new me! I love it!" she tweeted at the time.
Date: April 30, 2013
Incident: Amanda Bynes posts semi-nude pictures of herself
Details: Is this image showing a fat Amanda Bynes? No, but she seems to think so. "About to put on makeup! I weigh 135, I've gained weight! I need to be 100 lbs!" she tweets.
Date: May 1, 2013
Incident: She follows semi-nude pictures with actual nude pictures
Details: When something works once, why change it? Bynes posted an actual topless photo to her Twitter with the tagline, "Long hair don't care."
Date: May 1, 2013
Incident: Police go to Amanda Bynes' apartment ... maybe
Details: When publicist Jonathan Jaxson tweeted that he called the police to help Bynes (a claim that later proved to be false), the actress' former What I Like About You costar, Jenny McCarthy, expressed her concern. That prompted Bynes to lash out at McCarthy, tweeting, "I need help? What are u talking about? Aren't u 50 years old? I'm 27, u look 80 compared to me! Why are you talking about me? you're ugly! Police weren't at my house old lady! Shut the f**k up!" When McCarthy tweeted back, "Sorry girl. Looking out for ya," Bynes quickly changed her tune and said, "@JennyMcCarthy thanks! I'm sorry I offended you! You're beautiful! I was lying! I'll delete our tweets!" Also apparently being called "ugly" is the worst insult in Bynes' book.

Incident: Amanda Bynes reveals she had a nose job
Details: Why does Bynes hate when magazines use old photos? Because, as it turns out, she once had a nose job. "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes," she wrote. "I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don't want old photos used anymore! I'm so sick of magazines and blogs using old photos! When will they stop? I will never look like that again!"
Date: May 22, 2013
Incident: Amanda Bynes lashes out over InTouch exclusive
Details: Bynes invited InTouch to do an exclusive story about her NYC apartment, but apparently didn't like what she saw. She went on another Twitter rant about the story, claiming "that ugly black man" (the photographer) altered the photos. Also, she threatened to sue the magazine, adding it to the long list of outlets she claims to be opening up lawsuits against. Okay.
Date: May 23, 2013
Incident: Amanda Bynes is arrested, and her shockingly short hair is revealed in her latest mug shot.
Details: When she reports to court the next day, she claims the bong was just "a vase."
Date: May 28, 2013
Incident: The actress goes on another Twitter rant.
Details: She claimed that the NYPD sexually assaulted her (which was later disproven) and says absolutely terrible things about Rihanna (which Bynes later denied doing).
Date: July 8, 2013
Incident: After spending the month of June obsessing about supposed plastic surgery she was getting and insulting more people, including Cher, on Twitter, the actress took it to a whole new level when she turned her attention to the First Family.
Details: She insulted the president and his wife, saying: "Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are ugly." And then the spiral continued when she showed up to her latest court date in a blue wig.
We just hope that now that Amanda has been hospitalized, she will finally get the help that she needs.

The famed Shamu show at a SeaWorld park in California could come to an end if a lawmaker's proposed bill passes.
The bill being introduced on Friday would end all performances by killer whales at the state's entertainment parks--SeaWorld San Diego.
If the bill passes, the orcas already in captivity would have to be retired from performing, but could still be on display for the public to view.
The lawmaker said he felt compelled to draft the legislation after watching the controversial documentary, "Blackfish."

In the grand history of the Western world, there is no single individual whose name is more synonymous with inventiveness, curiosity, and creative genius than Leonardo da Vinci. His life and works would not just remake the Renaissance in Italy—they would go on to inspire developments and innovations in our own world.
Leonardo has always exerted an extraordinary fascination. For unlike his artistic peers, such as Michelangelo and Raphael, who were known solely for their artistic accomplishments, Leonardo was the very epitome of the Renaissance man, whose skills and influences touched on nearly every aspect of human endeavor.
In the grand history of the Western world, there is no single individual whose name is more synonymous with inventiveness, curiosity, and creative genius than Leonardo da Vinci. His life and works would not just remake the Renaissance in Italy—they would go on to inspire developments and innovations in our own world.
Leonardo has always exerted an extraordinary fascination. For unlike his artistic peers, such as Michelangelo and Raphael, who were known solely for their artistic accomplishments, Leonardo was the very epitome of the Renaissance man, whose skills and influences touched on nearly every aspect of human endeavor.
And Leonardo continues to compel our interest long after his death and the subsequent end of the Renaissance he helped define. As expert art historian Professor George R. Bent of Washington and Lee University observes, "Without Leonardo, the things we know and the things we have just might not be with us today."
Leonardo da Vinci and the Italian High Renaissance is Professor Bent's powerful and engrossing look at this grand master, the intriguing world he inhabited and shaped, and the legacies he left behind for us. This 36-lecture course—packed with illustrations and animations that bring you closer than ever before to Leonardo's paintings, sculptures, sketches, and notebooks—is like touring an imaginary and comprehensive exhibit devoted to his entire career. You'll gain fresh insights into his iconic paintings, his important anatomical studies, and his astonishingly prescient visions for machines we now take for granted. But more than that, you'll experience what it was like to live in Leonardo's world and to understand the High Renaissance as it swept through great Italian cities such as Florence, Milan, and Rome.
Live in Leonardo's World
Leonardo da Vinci was at the forefront of so many fields that a survey of everything he did can seem intimidating and nearly impossible. But Professor Bent has crafted Leonardo da Vinci and the Italian High Renaissance to be a highly focused, tightly organized examination of the life and times of this most famous Renaissance man.
The key: taking a chronological approach to Leonardo's collection of works, which sets each of his major masterpieces—as well as other works you may be less familiar with—in the larger context of political, social, spiritual, and cultural changes that swept through Italy between the mid-1400s and the early 1500s. Here, Professor Bent guides you through each of the three major stages of Leonardo's professional career:
As you follow Leonardo's movements, you learn how he secured work, how his surroundings helped inspire him, and how he interacted with some of the famous figures from the Italian Renaissance, including the Medici and Borgia families and fellow artists such as Michelangelo and Verrocchio. It's this multilevel look that makes this course transcend mere art appreciation and biography to become a unique framework in which to explore this profound period in Western history.
Discover New Ways to Appreciate Leonardo's Masterpieces …
Central to this course is Professor Bent's piercing examinations of Leonardo's work, which has gone on to influence generations of artists and thinkers. Professor Bent uses his expert knowledge of both Leonardo and Western art and history to unpack the hidden details and importance behind Leonardo's masterworks, drawing your attention to aspects you never noticed before, calling out techniques that were then revolutionary to art and science, and even shattering some well-worn myths and legends that have been passed down through the centuries.
In Leonardo da Vinci and the Italian High Renaissance, you'll feel as if you're encountering and understanding familiar pieces for the first time. Among these are
… as Well as Dozens of Other Works
You'll also comb through a host of
As you go inside all of these works, you'll find revealing answers to commonly asked questions about Leonardo's style and technique. Here are just two:
Why did Leonardo write backward in his journals? Contrary to popular belief, Leonardo didn't write backward out of any concern over secrecy. Rather, it was a means to prevent the left-handed writer's billowing sleeves (fashionable attire for men in Renaissance Italy) from dragging across wet ink as he wrote.
Why were Leonardo's military inventions never realized? Despite their ingenuity, Leonardo's tanks, siege engines, flying machines, and submarines were often literally impossible to make. Many required an extraordinary amount of materials and a powerful source of locomotion that couldn't be provided in preindustrial Renaissance Italy.
Expertly Crafted, Richly Illustrated, Visually Engaging
As befitting a series of lectures on one of the world's greatest artists, this course has been crafted by Professor Bent to provide you with a learning experience that is as richly illustrated and visually engaging as it is insightful and informative. These lectures feature high-definition versions of Leonardo's paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other works; 3-D animations that bring Leonardo's never-realized inventions to life; intimate looks at pages and sketches from Leonardo's notebooks and manuscripts; and high-definition versions of works by Leonardo's contemoraries and apprentices. And Professor Bent himself is a scholar and teacher whose passion for Leonardo's work and world is absolutely riveting and undeniably contagious. Whether you're already familiar with the artist or have never closely examined him before, you'll find yourself raptly following along as Professor Bent recounts illuminating stories, provides eye-opening artistic insights, and reveals little-known details about life during the High Italian Renaissance.
So prepare yourself for a fascinating and unforgettable encounter with the quintessential Renaissance man in Leonardo da Vinci and the Italian High Renaissance—an immersive, comprehensive, and expertly delivered course that only The Great Courses can bring you.

Recovering a corrupted database in MS SQL Server format
Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server (download) can help with this problem and retrieve the data, that was considered to be lost. This tool was developed to repair corrupted databases in MS SQL Server format (Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server supports the following files: Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005, 2005 64-bit, 2008 and 2008 R2). There's no magic, we cannot guarantee, that Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server will successfully repair the whole database. Sometimes, databases are heavily damaged, that is why this program cannot recover everything. Data recovery process is performed with step-by-step graphic user interface, only one user action is performed during each step, it is very easy, the process does not require good technical skills, no need to put any extra settings.
EULA - End User License Agreement
Databases are very important for corporate networks, they can be used by many information systems, from accounting to statistics. If a database gets out of order, this may lead to losses. If it cannot be recovered at all, these losses may be very serious. Databases represent files, like any other documents, they can be easily corrupted by viruses, all sorts of malware, hard drive failures, file system errors, incorrect user actions, etc. Anyway, even a minor error in this file can lead to unavailability of all database, this can influence your corporate network.
Repair your SQL server
During the first step, you should specify a corrupted database in MS SQL Server format. For example, you can click on softkey and open Windows Explorer. Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server supports *.mdf and *.ndf formats, that's why, these extensions will be specified in the filter. Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server keeps all files, that were processed previously, in a quick access list. If you'd like to select a file, just click on icon, and move the cursor to any document, then left click on it.
MS SQL Recovery tool
Please press Next and pass to the next step. At this stage, Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server will display a dialog, asking, whether it should analyze the source file (SQL Server 2005 in recovery ...). If you choose Yes, the program will extract housekeeping data from the source database and preview the data, that can be recovered. To simplify the process, Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server (SQL Server 2005 repair software) splits window into two parts. In the left, you can see such information categories, like: User Tables and System Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Functions and User Defined Data Types. If you've decided to select one of them, you'll see the list of available objects and their contents in the right. Please preview this data attentively and make sure, that Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server can successfully repair corrupted data.
MDF file repair
During the next step, you should select a way, how to save information. The MDF file repair tool (database repair SQL software) supports both data extraction to your hard drive as scripts in SQL format and data export directly to a database in MS SQL Server format. The first way permits to save extracted data to any server. If you choose this way, you should copy all scripts to any PC for execution and run it there. The second way is easy-to-handle, when your PC is connected to needed database. In this case, data will be exported without extra settings.
After this, you should choose the data, that can be repaired from corrupted files and save it. For your convenience, the MS SQL server data recovery will show, which files can be successfully extracted. If you'd like to choose some data modules separately, you should check/uncheck appropriate checkboxes. It is also possible to select the entire database, information category or some objects separately (tables, views, stored procedures, etc.), you can also uncheck these selections, when necessary.
MSSQL database recovery tool
When all necessary selections are made, you can start the scanning and save the data, that was successfully extracted. Just click on Start Recovery softkey to start the process. This process depends on some factors, for example, on the source file (its size and structure). Secondly, CPU performance is also important for data recovery process. Please note, that databases can be very large, that is why data recovery process may take up to several days. When the process is finished, Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server (MSSQL database recovery tool) will display a report like other MDF file recovery tools. This report will contain detailed information about data recovery process, that was successfully completed in current session.
SQL Server recovery software
So, the SQL data recovery tool is a good solution to recover data from corrupted databases in MS SQL Server format.

Five-goal soccer rule dumped
Following criticism, Gloucester Dragons say winning teams won't be penalized
Ken Warren, The Ottawa CitizenPublished: Friday, June 11, 2010
Facing intense criticism and a chaotic start to the season, the Gloucester Dragons Soccer Association has retreated, abandoning a controversial rule designed to cut down on lopsided games.
The Dragons, a house league organization, began the season with an edict stating that if any team won a game by more than five goals, it would be credited with a loss in the official standings.
The rule drew criticism throughout Canada and from a national fair play association, and resulted in confusion among players, coaches and parents. The outrage included fears that children were being coddled and would not learn life lessons through defeat.
After the association's board of directors met earlier this week, dealing with an issue that "hit the moon," according to chairman Sean Cale, the regulation has been replaced by a mercy rule that has been used in other leagues. Now, once an eight-goal margin has been reached -- 8-0, 9-1, 10-2 -- the game is over, with the leading team being credited with a victory. Coaches can opt to use any remaining time for practice.
"People kept focusing on the losing part of (the five-goal rule)," Cale said. "It was never given a chance to run its course.
"The games got to a point where they were not being played properly at all. The board met and we decided this was the best way to deal with it."
Cale said the five-goal rule was never intended to be a long-term solution to what he believes are the bigger issues: proper balancing of teams and coaching development.
In previous years, there were numerous complaints about blowouts -- 46 games finished with at least a five-goal margin -- and coaches who continued to run up the score despite their team's obvious superiority over the opposition.
In previous years, the Dragons have asked coaches who lose sight of the big-picture goal of house league soccer to do their best to control lopsided games. That approach had little effect, Cale said, because the pool of volunteer coaches is limited.
Even though some other Ottawa-area soccer associations keep no formal record of house-league scores, Cale said there's no immediate plan to change. "It is something we will look at next year," he said.
The Dragons also plan to evaluate players before next season so teams can be as balanced as possible.

There have been better times for magic, magician Larry Taylor admits. Fewer and fewer people are getting into the business of pulling rabbits out of, well, wherever. So Taylor, who's spent 35 years as a magician in Philadelphia and South Florida, is hoping to teach the next generation. Taylor gives one-on-one magic lessons for kids and soon-to-be pros out of his Boynton Beach magic shop, the South Florida Magic Company. The $50-an-hour lessons begin with simple card and coin tricks, eventually bringing the advanced student to Taylor's specialty, the ol' "cube zag." That's where Taylor sticks knives through his assistant (also his wife). Well, at least it looks that way. "That's the advanced stuff," Taylor says. After three or four lessons, Taylor contends, most students can perform for audiences. They'll need probably $500 for just the beginner's equipment and thousands more for technical tricks. But there are hatfuls of money to be made just in the bar mitzvah market, he says, and the big thing now is corporate events, where magicians make the rounds at company cocktail parties. Soon enough, however, magic may be back to the mainstream. "It's been around for thousands of years, and it's not going away anytime soon," the 65-year-old Taylor says. "It's going to come back before you know it." Maybe Taylor's just the man to pull the profession from his sleeve.

Missing You Quotes and Sayings - Page 2
Time goes by, life goes on yet all I can think of is why you are gone.
The days go by.
But the feelings stand still.
Never knew I could cry so much for just missing you.
Missing you gives me thousands of reasons to cry, but knowing you gives me thousands of reasons to smile.
Someone asked me if I missed you… I didn't answer, I just closed my eyes and walked away. Then I whispered, "So much…"
When you can't stop thinking about some one maybe thay are supposed to be there
I'm fighting myself to get you out of my head,
But i'm hanging off of every word you said..
If ever a day goes by that I don't say I love you……always know that I do…
Please don't make me wait just because you know I will.
knowing you don't see me the same way I see you..shatters me.
ohh no sweetie..you didnt hurt me,you completely destroyed me.
I woke up everyday thinking of you, I went through everyday with you in my head I went to sleep thinking about you…then I dreamed about you…now all I can do is miss you!
Without you I'm a pencil without lead…pointless.
When you are not there in my life it's like:
Shoes without shoe laces
A letter without a stamp
A flower with no roots
A clock without batteries
A book without words
A Rubik cube with no colors
And a body without a soul…
I miss you with no tears left…
I miss you so much my dreams haunt me everynight with the vision of your face , smell of your body, the taste of your lips, and the feel of your touch.
suddenly I realize that i'm not with you so I cry my self to sleep once agian to dream. To be haunted everynight.
Someone remembers, Someone cares;
Your name is whispered in someone's prayers.
I wish I had more than these words to let you know how much I care of you.
You know what is really hard for someone?
To miss you, and to realize that you miss someone else.
That is a punch in the stomach.
My smile has no meaning without you.
Missing you doesn't hurt as much as knowing that you don't miss me.
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.
– Nicholas Sparks
I hate having pictures of you; they are constant reminders how you're there.. And I'm just here. :(
The worst way to miss someone is to have them sitting right next to you, and you knowing that you can never have them.
I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care. I'm not supposed to live my life just wishing you were here. (But I guess that's love.)
I know you don't love me and I know you don't miss me at all, you think I'm not good enough for you and I'm not what your looking for, I know all of that, yet I don't know why on earth do I still love you and HOPE that one day you'll feel the same,,,
Everyday, I fight the urge to text you or call you, telling myself that if you wanted to talk to me, you would.
Missing you gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time I saw you, it is one day closer to the next time I will.
My eyes are sore cause I can't see you. My arms are empty cause I can't hold you. My lips are cold cause I can't kiss you. But my heart is broken cause I'm not with you. :(

We're so proud: Though only 26 years old, Houston native Ayman Harper has danced with companies in Frankfurt, the Netherlands and Chicago. And now that he's back home, he's making strides as a choreographer. This weekend the wunderkind will premiere M Saudade, a contemporary piece that deals loosely with AIDS and the sickness and loss it brings. Saudade, a Portuguese word, refers to a "yearning or melancholy for what is missing from one's life," and Harper's dancers respond with a duet set to experimental "hospital" sounds and an abstract sex-ed class. Show a native son some love at 8 p.m. tonight.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
In this week's parshah the Torah teaches many of the halachos of the korbanos. Each of the korbanos has a limited amount of time when they may be eaten, after which they become nosar and forbidden. When a utensil is used to cook the flavor, the food is absorbed into the walls of the utensil. Therefore if a forbidden food was cooked, it is prohibited to use the utensil again until it is koshered, since the flavor of the forbidden food will mix into the next food. Amid the halachos of the korban chatas, the Torah writes that since the flavor of the korban will become nosar after its allotted time, any earthenware utensil that was used to cook part of the korban must thereafter be broken. If it was cooked in a metallic utensil, the utensil must be purged and then rinsed in water in order to remove the flavor that was absorbed.
This halacha applies to all of the korbanos. However, the Rambam and Ra'avad disagree regarding the halacha of an earthenware utensil. The Rambam (Hilchos Ma'aseh Korbanos 8:14) says that any utensil that was used to cook any korban must be purged and rinsed, whether it is a metallic or earthenware utensil. (The exception is a korban chatas, whereby an earthenware utensil must be broken and may not be purged.) The Ra'avad argues that earthenware utensils may never be purged and must always be broken, regardless of which korban was cooked in it.
The Rambam holds that purging earthenware utensils effectively koshers the utensil; but, specifically by a korban chatas, the Torah commands that an earthenware utensil must be broken and not purged. The Ra'avad disagrees and posits that purging is ineffective and is unable to remove the flavor from earthenware utensils.
The question that arises about the Rambam is that the Gemara in Pesachim 30b says that the Torah testifies that it is impossible to completely remove the forbidden flavor from the walls of an earthenware utensil; hence it must be broken. However, according to the Rambam, purging an earthenware utensil indeed removes the flavor, and only when a korban chatas was cooked in the utensil does the Torah command that the utensil must be broken.
The sefer, Harirai Kedem, suggests that according to the Rambam, when an earthenware utensil is purged not all of the flavor is removed; rather a ta'am kalush (weak flavor) in fact remains. If there would be no flavor remaining, there would be no mitzvah to break the utensil that a korban chatas was cooked in – since there is no remnant of the chatas's flavor. The reason that the Rambam says that one may purge an earthenware utensil that other korbanos were cooked in is because purging removes all of the flavor except for a weak flavor. Since the purging is done before the allotted time that the korban may be eaten, the flavor has not yet become forbidden. Whenever only a weak flavor remains, the utensil is permitted to be used again, provided that at the time of absorption it was not a forbidden flavor (this is known as heteira bala). Only a utensil with a strong flavor is forbidden to be used with another food. The Gemara that says that the flavor never leaves the walls of an earthenware utensil means that a weak flavor will always remain, which if at the time of absorption was a forbidden flavor will prohibit the use of the utensil. But since a weak flavor remains, there is still room for the Torah to command that regarding a korban chatas, the utensil be broken.
Rabbi Akiva Eiger mentions this idea – that whenever the flavor that was absorbed was not forbidden one should be permitted to purge an earthenware utensil. However, he asks the following question: according to many opinions chametz before Pesach is considered heteira bala because when it was absorbed it was not forbidden. Why then do we paskin that earthenware utensils before Pesach must be broken and may not be purged?
Other Achronim ask another question. The Rambam (Hilchos Chametz U'matzah 5:23) says that metallic or stoneware utensils that cooked chametz (in order to use them on Pesach) must be purged and afterward rinsed in cold water. The Maggid Mishnah and the Hagaos Maimonios explain that the source for this halacha (that the utensil must thereafter be rinsed in cold water) is derived from the halacha of korbanos. However, in Hilchos Machalos Asuros 17:4 – regarding the halachos on koshering utensils that cooked forbidden foods – the Rambam does not mention that the utensil must be rinsed after it is purged. Why the discrepancy?
The sefer, Harirai Kedem, suggests that in order to use a utensil on Pesach one needs to do more than is normally required, in order to use a utensil that was used to cook a forbidden food. Namely, the utensil must lose its identity as a utensil of chametz. Regarding other forbidden foods that were cooked in a metallic utensil, they are permitted to be used again once they are purged. But a utensil that was used to cook chametz is compared to that of korbanos that requires more than just removing the flavor. It also needs to not be identified as a utensil that cooked that item. This second requirement is met when one rinses after purging the utensil; this is derived from the pasuk that requires the purging and rinsing of a utensil that was used in the cooking of a korban.

Question: My young daughter was recently diagnosed with autism. She does not function well socially and is extremely introverted, but we have noticed that she reacts very well to small animals. We reported this to her therapist who suggested that we get a dog or cat as a pet. We know that most religious people frown upon having pets, but we hate to see our daughter suffer and want to do anything that would make her happy. Would it be okay to own a pet in the circumstances we described?

Ramban interprets Korban as self-sacrifice, each Jew should attempt to recreate Akeidas Yitzchak.
Dr. Schwartz had no other alternatives up his sleeve. He suggested my mother go home and think about what she wanted to do.
Why does Lavan's speaking before his father show that he was wicked? Disrespectful, yes. Rude, certainly. But a rasha?
We find that in certain circumstances before the Torah was actually given, people were permitted to make calculations as to what would better serve Hashem, even if it were against a mitzvah or aveirah.
It is difficult to write about such a holy person, for I fear I will not accurately portray his greatness…
The implication of the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 233:2) is that one may not daven Minchah before six and one half hours into the day.
Some Rishonim are bothered by the opinion of the Rambam that bnei Noach are commanded not to eat basar min hachai.
According to the Raavad if one who is uncircumcised breaks something he will be exempt from paying for it since he was chayav kares at the same time as he was obligated to repay for the item he broke.
Others suggest that one cannot separate Shabbos from Yom Kippur by accepting Shabbos early.
While women are exempt from actually learning Torah, they are obligated in a different aspect of the mitzvah.
The Chafetz Chaim answered that there are two forms of teshuvah; teshuvah m'ahava and teshuvah m'yirah.

"We live a third of our lives in bed, so why not have the best? I'm not sure what is the best, actually, but my Dux bed—expensive, but less so than other Scandinavian or European brands—is still perfect after thirteen years. I used to use a thick cotton-filled futon, which I still think is a perfectly good alternative to an expensive mattress. However, beware of cheap futons: Your back won't forgive you."

Former Irish Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan has lost his battle with cancer at just 52 years of age.
The Fianna Fail deputy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2009 and his condition had deteriorated in recent weeks.
He died early on Friday morning in his West Dublin home, surrounded by his wife Patricia and their two teenage children.
Son of former Irish Deputy Prime Minister Brian Lenihan, he was first elected as a deputy for the Dublin West constituency in 1996 and served as Finance Minister in the last Fianna Fail government.
Lenihan will be remembered as the Minister who presided over the collapse of the Celtic Tiger and negotiated the bank guarantee scheme and the EU/IMF bail-out.

Initially thought to be suffering from a hernia, Lenihan was diagnosed with cancer in December 2009 and he publicly confirmed a month later that he has a cancerous growth at the entrance to the pancreas.
Just last September, the former Minister said the cancer had stabilized. "There is no clear or immediate danger," he said at the time.
After undergoing intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy in June 2010, he said: "My energy levels are much better. I am now in a position to get on with the important decisions that have to be taken in this country. Of course, when you have a cancer you are always at risk."
Last September, when asked if his condition had improved, he said: "It has improved somewhat but like all cancers it is still there. It hasn't gone away and it's a danger. But it's not an immediate or clear or present danger to me."
Just last month, Lenihan laughed off rumors of his demise and stated: "I'm still here." He was re-admitted to hospital in May
