Jenny Thompson is well-decorated. With 12 Olympic medals, including a record eight gold, the 31-year-old from Dover, N.H., is the most decorated female Olympian of all time.
Collecting her medals over four Olympics since 1992, Thompson is also the third female swimmer to ever qualify for four Olympic Games. She broke the long-standing 100-meter butterfly record in 1999, a record unbroken since 1981.
Born in Danvers, Mass., Thompson started swimming as a child at the local YMCA and turned serious by the age of 12 when she joined Seacoast Swimming in Dover. Her first international gold was at the 1987 Pan
American Games when she was 14 years old. Since then she's collected numerous accolades and awards.
While studying at Stanford, she won 19 NCAA titles, the most in women's collegiate swimming history. She also holds 26 U.S. national titles, the highest of any active swimmer, and a total of
85 medals from international competition, including 14 from the World Championships.
Currently a medical student at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, Thompson volunteers with Swim Across America, an organization that raises money for cancer research. She retired from the sport shortly after the Athens Olympics, where she won silver in the 400-meter freestyle relay and another silver in the 400-meter medley relay.

Now that Gene Chizik has been officially fired, it's time for the piling on to begin. Of course, we already know about the NCAA investigation that is reportedly underway at Auburn. But according to a source that spoke to AL.com, there were more signs that Chizik had lost control of the program. Case in point: Many Auburn players weren't going to class and others were skipping mandatory workouts. All of which Chizik knew about at some point, but reportedly never did anything about it. One example: During the second week of the regular season, before the cracks in the foundation began to show up on the field in a lifeless 28-10 loss at Mississippi State, an academic adviser told Chizik there was a problem with one of his Auburn starters. The adviser said the player wasn't going to class, wasn't doing his classwork, wasn't making much of an effort at all in the classroom. Chizik's response: He told the adviser he didn't believe him. That player started the Mississippi State game and st...

It seems that everyone who has ever been part of a church has suffered a "church hurt." The pastor had an affair or the congregation fought over money or the leaders were disguising gossip as "prayer." Stephen Mansfield has been there. Though he is now a New York Times best-selling author, he was a pastor for over 20 years, and he loved it-until he learned how much a church can hurt. Yet he also learned how to dig out of that hurt, break through the bitterness and anger, stop making excuses, and get back to where he ought to be with God and his people. If you're ready to take the tough path to healing, Mansfield will walk you through it with brotherly love, showing you how you can be better than ever on the other side of this mess ... if you're willing to ReChurch.

FedRAMP Director Maria Roat is headed to the Department of Transportation as chief technology officer.
One of the driving managers behind the General Services Administration's cloud services security program is about to depart the agency, but industry insiders said the effort will likely rumble on effectively.
The director of GSA's Federal Risk Management and Authorization Program (FedRAMP), Maria Roat, is leaving the agency for the U.S. Department of Transportation. DOT CIO Richard McKinney confirmed in an Aug. 13 speech that Roat would become his agency's chief technology officer.
"Maria Roat will join the Department of Transportation next month [and] serve as the architect of the department's technical transformation focused on shared services, cloud computing and data management," a DOT spokesman told FCW on Aug. 13. "As a data-driven agency, the addition of a CTO will help DOT leverage enterprise technology services to improve the operations, productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and service delivery of the department."
Roat's most likely successor as GSA is Matthew Goodrich, currently the FedRAMP program manager.
Roat was instrumental in setting up FedRAMP, which is aimed at providing a single federal accreditation for cloud service providers' offerings. She explained and clarified the multi-stage and multi-path certification process for sometimes-anxious providers as the program's June 5 deadline approached this year.
Her departure won't severely impact FedRAMP's ongoing operations, according to industry and agency sources. Most of those sources attributed her move not to any difficulties at FedRAMP, but to the relative success of the program.
"The FedRAMP program has a lot of moving parts," said federal procurement expert Larry Allen. "Maria has handled it well."
Goodrich has also done a good job for the program, Allen added, noting that he expects the competent work will continue in the interim position. (Goodrich won a 2013 Federal 100 award for his FedRAMP work.)
Allen did voice a minor concern that was echoed by other observers unwilling to speak for attribution. "There's always some potential for drop off when a program's strong advocate and leader leaves," he said. "There is also a long list of companies waiting in line" for certification. "People are being told that short of an agency-backed authorization, the process could take a year."

DEFINITION of 'Jerome Kerviel'
A trader for French securities firm Société Générale that was charged with losing more than $7 billion in company assets by conducting a series of unauthorized and false trades between 2006 and early 2008. When company managers discovered that Kerviel had conducted tens of billions of dollars' worth of unauthorized trades, they rushed to close out the open positions (most of which were specialized equity arbitrage trades) and contain the extent of the fraud. Several of the trades were closed out with heavy losses due to a falling market at the time of sale.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Jerome Kerviel'
Kerviel had several years' experience in Société's back office, and was well-versed in the company policies for approving and regulating trading among its brokers. Kerviel's losses are yet another case study in rogue trading, despite all the modern regulations and technological advances designed to prevent such things from ever happening.
Kerviel was not considered a well-renowned trader by any extent; in fact, when the story broke many openly wondered how such a person could obtain the authority over such huge sums of capital without the company noticing. Kerviel hid his early gains by creating fake, offsetting trades in the system's computers and logs. He had extensive knowledge of the computers and systems used in the company, which was essential to his trading scheme.

13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison

There are six things very wrong with my life:

On her wedding night, Cordelia Grey catches the last train to leave Union, Ohio. With her is her slight but talented friend Letty Haubstadt. Their destination is the end of the line: fabulous, roarin' New York City. Both girls are escaping their boring, unhappy lives in Ohio and fleeing to New York where they hope to find what they are looking for. Cordelia seeks her father, whom she believes to be the infamous bootlegger Darius Grey. Letty wants nothing more than a microphone before her, a dazzling dress to wear and an enraptured audience to sing to. Set in New York City in the final year of the Roaring Twenties, Anna Godbersen's Bright Young Things focuses on three young women who, like the rest of the United States, are on the verge of a terrible encounter with reality.
On two remote islands off the coast of Maine, the local lobstermen have fought savagely for generations over the fishing rights to the ocean waters between them. Young Ruth Thomas is born into this feud, the daughter of one of the greediest lobstermen in Maine. Eighteen years old, as smart as a whip, and irredeemably unromantic, Ruth returns home from boarding school determined to throw her education overboard and join the "stern men." As the feud escalates, she helps work the lobster boats, brushes up on her profanity, and eventually falls for Owney Wishnell, a handsome young lobsterman.
"Like many young people everywhere, playwright Maria Headley had had her fill of terrible dates. Discouraged and looking for love, she decided the time had come for her to eliminate her own (clearly not adequately discriminating) taste from the equation. Instead--as she vowed to her roommates one frustrated morning--she would date every person who asked her out for an entire year, regardless of circumstances. It would be her Year of Yes. Leaving her judgment and predispositions at the door, our heroine ventured into a world suddenly brimming with opportunity and found herself saying yes to:
"Hilariously funny and ultimately inspirational, The Year of Yes will appeal to every person who has turned down a date for the wrong reason."

Can Betsy reclaim her confidence while reconciling her clerical robe with high heels and the right shade of lipstick? This is a fun-loving look at a single girl's life on the other side of the altar.
"Ever since childhood, the tedious hours in the salon and the harsh, burning chemicals have grated on Venus, and increasingly she dreams of cutting off her beautiful 'good' hair. When her boyfriend keeps balking at commitment, and the thought of another hour at the salon is just too much, Venus decides to give it up -- all of it. She trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends Clint packing. It's a bold declaration of independence -- and one that has effects she never could have imagined."
"Aisha Branch is in the midst of planning her elaborate wedding when the unthinkable happens -- she falls for another man, hard. All the drama stirs up old feelings in her mother and grandmother, and as Aisha confronts a painful dilemma, the three Branch women take turns telling their own stories, reflecting separately on their lives and relationships. With her signature dry wit, quietly resonant insight and sharp yet compassionate eye, Benilde Little deftly explores one family's expectations, anxieties and abiding love."

First up Katie – congrats on your so on-it grooming last night. This season's all about the super-side parting, which you've nailed with that slicked-back do and low-slung plaited bun. And we totally adore the way those poppy red lips bring out your cheekbones. Now let's deal with the dress. For the Brazilian premiere of her husband's new film Valkyrie Katie clearly decided to channel her salsa diva in a Christian Lacroix couture A/W '07 beaded gown paired with Rene Caovilla shoes. Old-school. Wasn't she watching the most recent collection unveiled in Paris last week? But what do you think of Katie's red carpet look? Vote above.

The Making of The Carnival Sequence from "The Last 3 Minutes"
Episode III "Carnival" was on Day two of our four day shooting schedule. This day was a very ambitious one because we had four company moves. We started at the ranch house location, moved to meadow location, then on to the main street location for the street fight.
The Making of The Vietnam Sequence From "The Last 3 Minutes"
We are going to give you a special treat on this blog. When I travel around the world, many people come up and ask me about the one shot helicopter crash in Terminator:Salvation. So I thought this was a fitting place to talk about all in one shot sequences…

The Making of "The Last 3 Minutes"
When Shane told me he wanted to shoot behind the scenes footage of "The Last 3 Minutes" I was very excited as I had only used the 5D MKII for narrative work. I knew that using the 5D for run and gun style documentary work might be a challenge and loved the idea of diving in head first.
"The Last 3 Minutes" Canon 5D 24p Firmware Shines
As the pressure from commercial production companies and the ad agencies started to inquire about needing 24p and that they could not deal with the rendering time of all the twixtor files, the 7D started to rise as the premium capture. That is when the aha moment happened for me. I thought, why is everyone asking for second best when the Canon 5D is king.

A Media Manager Has Your Back
In the world of HDSLR technology, media management is a very important position. Every Elite Team member has held this position at some point during the untitled Navy Seal Movie to gain an understanding of HD image capture in a small footprint work-flow system.
Navy Swimmer: Mountain Rescue & Sea Rescue Sequences
Here is the breakdown for the Mountain Rescue portion of Navy Swimmer.
– 1-camera in deep water housing which captures underwater and split level shots

Navy Swimmer: Pool Training Sequence With Real Time Workflow
The Bandito Brothers Production Company has a very unique work flow. I have adopted the Bandito Brothers "Real Time" shooting module and combined it with "traditional" filming. Here is how we made it work for the Navy Swimmer commercial.
Imagine prepping, shot listing and then…
"Where's The 5D" Winner Josh's Visit To The Set
Josh came down to San Diego on Wednesday to join the me and the Elite Team for a 5am call. He stayed at the Indigo Hotel with us (my treat) the night before because I didn't want him to have to drive all night for such an early shoot.
We Have A Winner To Our "Where's the 5D" Contest
The "Where's the 5D" contest was so close that the winner Josh beat our runner up Tim by a single shot. Josh will claim his prize this Wednesday when he visits me on the set for the day.
We decided to add a runner up prize…
What Happens When You Mix A BMW M3, A Beautiful Woman and HDSLR Cameras?
This exciting spot was directed by Mike McCoy of Bandito Brothers and the majority of it was shot in 3 nights! Even though Mouse (as he is affectionately known) is very talented, he had the help of an amazing team to make him shine.
WOW, ALL OF YOU ROCK !!!!!! Thank you so much. We had so many hits on Hurlbut Visuals with the 1080HD being viewed and downloaded that the server crashed at about 4:00am PST. You slayed the server, burnt the processor. FEEL GREAT ABOUT THAT.
Where's the 5D?
Remember reading Where's Waldo when you were a kid? We had so much fun playing a similar game to test your vision and your response was overwhelming! Thank-you for taking the time to play and making it so hard to choose a winner!
"A Dark Fairy Tale"
At Hurlbut Visuals, two of our core values are commitment and collaboration. We are helping to spread the word about director Joshua Sallach's latest movie, an untitled "Dark Fairy Tale" project with Narrow Road Productions. Check out the inspiring story at http://www.nrpro.com/
The Canon 5D Mark II vs. Extreme Heat
The Untitled Navy SEAL movie has taken me to some of the most extreme working conditions that I have ever experienced in my career as a Director of Photography. We traveled to the following locations: the jungles of Costa Rica, the swamps of Mississippi…
Camera Configurations: Your Best Ally
Speed and production value are intertwined. Production budgets are shrinking and companies are asking for more from cinematographers and crews that ever. One way to meet that need is by increasing your speed without sacrificing quality. Specifically, when using Canon 5D Mark II camera for a project…

We are a crossdresser (aka, transvestite) and transgendered person support and social organization. Primarily we focus on the needs of the MTF individual, from casual crossdresser to post op transsexual.
The bulk of our active membership consists of MTF crossdressers, transgendered MTF's, and non op transsexuals. We frequently (most months) meet in person and utilize such meetings and this website for exchanges of information, ideas, and opinions that foster our growth. See our About Us page for more.
The transgendered, as we are now commonly called, have been found to be a part of societies around the world throughout history. There must be something to this. Say what you will, we have always been.

The transgendered, as we are now commonly called, have been found to be a part of societies around the world throughout history. There must be something to this. Say what you will, we have always been.
We are making changes to our website so please look around. The tab menus will have many new features. Our goal is to keep you informed as to our activities and improved website content.
Update June10, 2014
Looks like everyone is quite busy now the weather has finally become pleasant. So it has been decided to cancel our June meeting. We'll get back into the swing again in September. Hope you all have a great summer.
Update; May 13, 2014
As you know our meeting scheduled for May 10 was cancelled ("staff" schedule conflicts). We are now planning for a meeting to be held at Affirmations on May 31.
(Note; Whoops, May 31 is Ferndale Pride Day, so we will most likely cancel our May meeting picking up again on June 21 with our summer recess picnic See the Program Calendar for further info).
One thought for this change was to implement a plan to rotate our meetings around the area. As other suitable venues are identified we will use them as well. Another part of this plan is to meet on other than just the 2nd Saturday of the month. Stay tuned. Watch for emailed flier as to additional details
Update; April 7, 2014
For those that are members and on our email list, how about that fantastic flyer Pam put out for the Dr Samons and Dr Rassi visit on April 19. Thank her the next time you see her.
Also, for this evening we are trying something new. Call it pot luck or a mini banquet everyone bring along a little some thing to share in the edibles dept.
Update; March 31, 2014
Dr Samons and Dr Stephen will be with us on April 19. There are several topics under consideration at this time but we will most likely conduct an open forum. However, if there is something burning inside you that might be worthy of focus toss it on a Contact Us form so we can give it some thought. Remember the quality of the discussion will also be determined by the questions from us.
For those on the mailing list and received the meeting flyer thank Pam. Wasn't it a fine effort. Thank her next time you see her.
See you all there.
Members!!! check out the latest news within our group in the Members Only section, just updated.
I am also looking to bring to life the Out and About section. I need one paragraph summaries and hopefully a picture or two of things you have done en femme. Only need one or two "stories" a month. Will be like a monthly newsletter. This will all be in the Members Only section so don't be timid.
Giving thought to changing the June picnic to either an afternoon luncheon or a dinner outing at either Comos, the Oxford Inn, or other, (suggestions?).
With that in mind would anyone be interested in a similar outing (or summer party somewhere?) in July at another location. That could be followed up with a stroll down the street. We would break up into groups of 2 or 3, so the public would not see an invasion force, comments?
Also, check out the Crossroads Chapter Information update in the Resources-Links-References, News and Views dropdown section. Your comments are welcome.
Update: March 30, 2014
Many thanks to Dawn Swanson for making all the arrangements for our 36th Anniversary Dinner at the Oxford Inn. It was enjoyable to see everyone again and we had some new faces from out of town too, welcome.
Update February 22, 2014
Please note the reworked About Us page found at the Welcome page dropdown.
Added News and Views dropdown to Resources tab. Just getting started with this but eventually the entire Resources area will be reconfigured and updated.
Also, any member with pictures of themselves that they would like to post on our website, let me know via the contact page. We'll make arrangements for having it displayed in the right context. This will be in the Member's Only section.
Update February 16, 2014:
Don't forget to join us for our 36th anniversary dinner at the Oxford Inn on March 29th. See our Program Calendar page for details. RSVP form added (2/22) so that we may know who is coming. Please let us know.
Also note: The Program Calendar has a NEW dropdown, Program Information. This is to provide additional information,either before or after a program to help you get more out of the subject matter.
Update January 15, 2014
Two important notes regard our change in location (on program page) and our recent decision not to merge with Transgender Michigan (TGM).
We do love TGM and support their mission but feel a variety of independent approaches and voices all working together will give us a greater force multiplier, as long as we are all doing something.
You will also notice, once you check out our program page, some significant changes in our program content is occurring. Our programming will include content that will address our entire self, nourishing our mind, body, and soul.
The essence of our spirituality has been long neglected and we will be addressing that subject matter in future programming.
With regards to all that is happening please feel free to send us a comment to let us know your opinions. Remember this is a team effort and without your participation we all are diminished.

Garage is stocked with all sorts of fun things to do & fishing gear. Its just a 3 season home so we can only use it april 1 thru Oct 30th. The water is good to drink & shower with but we keep bottled water stocked as well. The lake is never crowded & they say fishing is great. There are a couple of sandy beaches nearby & antique stores to browse & Lake Geneva 10 minutes away. Its a great place to get away from it all yet only 90 minutes from Chicago. Theres wineries & lots of stuff to do nearby if you want to venture out. Theres 2 great bars within walking distance that usually have bands or comedy acts or karaoke.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered

Xenakis 27 Apr 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Demonstrators in Jordan protest American troop presence Jordan's King Abdullah and Obama meet to discuss Syria Sunni Jihadists pour into Syria Demonstrators in Jordan protest American troop presence Anti-American protesters in Amman, Jordan on Friday (Al-Monitor) Last week, we reported that the U.S. announced the formal deployment of 200 troops to Jordan. The troops will be "ready for military action" if President Barack Obama were to order it. On Friday, Jordanians rallied against the deployment of the U.S. forces in Jordan. Demonstrators also burned a mock American flag. At the end of the demonstration, they gathered in a circle and danced, chanting about Ali Baba and the forty thieves. Al-Monitor Jordan's King Abdullah and Obama meet to discuss Syria The question of the use of chemical weapons by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad continued to draw worldwide attention on Friday. President Barack Obama met with Jordan's King Abdullah II in the White House and said that "a line has been crossed" in Syria. He said, "To use weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations crosses another line in terms of international norms and laws... That's going to be a game changer." However, he declined to intervene militarily until a "vigorous investigation" had been completed to find more "direct evidence." However, Debka, which sometimes gets things wrong, is quoting its military intelligence sources as saying that the purpose of Obama's meeting with Abdullah is to firm up an agreement for the U.S. to deploy a 20,000 troop "surge" into Jordan. The 200 troops announced last week are to lay the groundwork for the main body to take up quarters in the King Hussein Air Base Mafraq, near the borders of Iraq and Syria. The purpose of the "surge" is to protect Jordan's royal family both from jihadists from Syria and from an "Arab Spring" type revolt -- a step that the Obama administration did not take with Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, or Yemen. The "surge" will be heavily coordinated with Israeli forces, and buffer zones will be set up on Syria's borders to prevent attacks on both Jordan and Israel. This "surge" comes at a time when thousands of fighters from Iran-backed Shia militias from Iraq and Hizbollah are aiding the al-Assad regime forces and are threatening to defeat the opposition rebels. The Hill and Debka Sunni Jihadists pour into Syria With thousands of fighters from Iran-backed Shia militias arriving in Syria to support al-Assad's regime, it's not surprising that thousands of Sunni jihadists are also arriving in Syria to fight the Shia militias. In particular, disaffected Muslims from Germany and elsewhere in Europe have been heading for Syria to receive training in weapons and terrorist techniques. German analysts are concerned that these fighters are gaining experience in Syria, making contacts, and will return to Germany and conduct terrorist attacks there.

The use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq has declined, a top U.S. military official said in the military's Green Zone yesterday, as Iran has stopped the popular weapon's flow across its borders.
Maj. Gen. James E. Simmons said 1,560 bombs were found last month across Iraq, a steep drop from the 3,239 found in March and about the same amount reported in September 2005.... Simmons said that Iran, which U.S. officials have called the source of the deadliest bombs in Iraq, appears to now be controlling the flow of weapons across its borders, in keeping with a pledge Iranian leaders made this summer.
"We have not seen any recent evidence that weapons continue to come across the border into Iraq," said Simmons, deputy commanding general of Multinational Corps-Iraq. "We believe that the initiatives and the commitments that the Iranians have made appear to be holding up."
For more information on IEDs in Iraq and how soldiers can avoid them, see this short history of their use by GlobalSecurity.org.

What makes a United Planet Short-term Quest unique?
United Planet's Quest volunteer abroad programs are 100% cultural immersion experiences. United Planet Quest programs run year-round and are available to individuals and groups of all ages, skill levels and nationalities. We have no doubt it will be life-changing and provide lasting memories.
Country Information
Tanzania is famous for its dramatic natural features, including: Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain peak in Africa and one of world's Seven Summits,the Serengeti,and the turquoise waters of Zanzibar. These attractions draw skilled mountain climbers and wildlife enthusiasts alike as tourists to Tanzania.Despite this, Tanzania remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
The country faces many economic and social issues, and a limited health care infrastructure results in large numbers of deaths from HIV/AIDS every year, in turn leading to many HIV/AIDS orphans. A stable democracy, Tanzania has avoided the internal strife that many other African countries have experienced, transcending the 120 tribal groupings its border encompasses and the division between Muslim and Christian. As a United Planet volunteer in Tanzania you will be located in bustling Dar es Salaam. Riding the dala dala, or local mini-bus, around the city, is an adventure in and of itself! Those looking for a more relaxed setting can volunteer in Iringa in the countryside.
Volunteer Opportunities in Tanzania: 2 - 12 weeks
United Planet currently offers volunteering opportunities in partnership with local organizations in and around Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Highlights - with the add-on package
Internships in Tanzania now available! Read more.
Working with Children Quest
Cancer Institute Quest - Teaching
Volunteers work with an organization whose aim is to raise awareness and become an advocate for children with cancer by providing them with the information, education, and emotional and recreational support they need. Volunteers work with parents of sick children in income generating activities, visit the homes of sick children, and work with program coordinators in development and outreach.
Disabled Youth Center Quest - Healthcare or Social
Volunteers will work with mentally & physically disabled youth ranging from ages 6 to 30 years old. The center's aim is to create better awareness of mental disability in the community as well as improve the quality of life for mentally disabled young people. Tasks include teaching English, science, sports, playing and taking care of the children among other opportunities. Those who have experience in counseling, physical therapy, or speech therapy are greatly needed at the project site.

Russian President Vladimir Putin listens during a meeting at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013. The White House announced Wednesday that President Barack Obama has canceled plans to meet with Putin in Moscow next month. The rare diplomatic snub is retribution for Russia's decision to grant temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. It also reflects growing U.S. frustration with Russia on several other issues, including missile defense and human rights. (AP Photo/RIA Novosti, Alexei Nikolsky, Presidential Press Service)
MOSCOW (AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging President Barack Obama not to rush into any decision on striking Syria, but to consider whether strikes would help end the violence and be worth the likely civilian casualties.
Saturday's statements were the first from Putin since the suspected chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21.
Putin advised Obama to reflect on the results of U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq before deciding to unleash air strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

SUNDAY: Season 2 of "The Following" begins with -- what else? -- another bloody killing spree. Will Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) ever be able to find a sense of peace? 7:30 p.m., Fox.
SUNDAY: And you thought all reality TV dating shows ended in tears and tabloid-fueld acrimony. Nope. "The Bachelor: Bachelor Love Stories" is a where-are-they-now special that catches up with some of the successful relationships the franchise has spawned. 8 p.m., ABC.
MONDAY: A lot of fans completely lost their heads over the breakout hit, "Sleepy Hollow." Alas, Season 1 comes to an end tonight with a two-hour finale and we're betting that something weird and scary will happen. 8 p.m., Fox.
TUESDAY: "American Masters: Salinger" recalls the life of J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic author who stepped away from the spotlight following the success of "The Catcher in the Rye.
TUESDAY: Reality TV gets even weirder with "Opposite Worlds." It's a competition in which opposing teams live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 10 p.m., Syfy.
WEDNESDAY: In the hilarious new comedy, "Broad City," Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer play BFFs navigating their 20s in New York City and making a mess of things. Amy Poehler is an executive producer. 10:30 p.m., Comedy Central.
THURSDAY: Greg Kinnear makes his TV series debut in the drama, "Rake." He plays a brilliant criminal defense attorney, whose self-destructive ways often affect his job. In other words, a legal-series version of "House." 9 p.m., Fox.
FRIDAY: Who said board games aren't dangerous and messy? On "Bones," the team delves into the world of professional chess after a champion's body is found in pig slop. 8 p.m., Fox.
SATURDAY: The new drama, "Black Sails," attempts to shiver our timbers by whisking us back to the golden age of piracy. It opens with Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) trying to fend off a mutiny by his motley crew. 9 p.m., Starz.
SATURDAY: Christina Ricci has an ax to grind in the new TV film, "Lizzie Borden." It's the true story of the sensational 1892 whack job that lives on in infamy (and nursery rhymes). 8 p.m., Lifetime.

How-To: Steal Ideas From Mimou's Catalog
I recently showed you how to steal ideas from Anthropologie's catalog, and today I'm back with more impressive styling from Swedish design shop Mimou. A purveyor of bed and table linens, cushions, poufs, and wallpaper, I ache for Mimou's fantastic materials and gorgeous design. But since I have no plans to head to Scandinavia in the near future, and I'm too much of a cheapskate to pay international shipping fees, I figure I might as well use its catalog for a little inspiration. To see how you can steal ideas from Mimou's catalog, check out this slideshow.

Queens Father Charged With Murder After Punching Crying Infant Son
A 20-year-old father is charged with murdering his 7-month-old son, after he confessed to punching the crying baby in the chest, police said.
Larry Greene has been charged with second-degree murder, after reportedly confessing to authorities he punched the baby in the chest.
Greene -- who apparently watched Xiah Greene each day as his 17-year-old mother attended school -- was apparently jealous of the amount of time she would spend with her baby. Sources tell PIX News, Greene initially told police he had hit the child because he was choking. However, upon further questioning by detectives, Greene admitted he had hit the child in order to "toughen him up."

Authorities found Xiah unconscious inside the family's apartment on 113th Ave. in St. Albans Tuesday night. The infant was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The baby's mother has not been charged.
Greene is due in court on April 26.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Looking for the perfect setting for a stay in downtown Las Vegas? Situated in the city's oldest quarter and directly on Fremont Street Experience, the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino offers boutique accommodations with modern-day amenities. The property also boasts personalized service and a unique history.
The Golden Gate has roots dating back to the birth of Las Vegas. Its land was purchased at a momentous auction in 1905. A year later, the hotel, originally called Hotel Nevada, opened. Although the same building structure remains, over the years, it has seen many changes -- including the completion of a major $12 million expansion.
The casino has been refurbished with new carpet and enlarged. There are now more slot machines and a striking high-limit area with three blackjack tables. The resort's signature "dancing dealers" -- a modern reinterpretation of the flappers from the Jazz Age -- add to the fun and revelry. The restrooms have been redone and feature life-size silhouettes of either a gangster (on the Men's Room) or a flapper (on the Women's Room) for easy identification. A lobby with exhibits that showcase the Golden Gate's past was also built. Guests can check out a 1907 Kellogg telephone, original gaming ledgers dating back to 1907, glass liquor bottles and more before they check-in.
Additionally, the property's 106 guest rooms have all been remodeled and there is a 35,000-square-foot, five-story tower with a porte cochère for valet parking. The tower houses 16 spacious suites, two of which are penthouses that encompass the entire fifth floor. Amenities in all accommodations include pillow-top mattresses, 32-inch LG flat-screen TVs, wireless internet access, safes, Keurig coffee makers and iPod docking stations. The suites will also have balconies with fire pits and other exclusive luxuries.
Inspired by the past, the Golden Gate integrates Roaring '20s and Rat Pack-era influences in the rooms' vintage décor as well as throughout the property. Among the resort's famous guests was Clark Gable, whose image appears on a second-story window in tribute. Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. were also known to frequent the main casino bar, now called Bar Prohibition!, which has a speakeasy ambiance. Two more bars -- the One Bar, where you'll find bartenders clad in bikinis and dancing on the countertop, and the Flair Bar, where bottles are sure to be flying -- are located just outside the doors on Fremont Street.
The Golden Gate is still beloved for its iconic shrimp cocktail served in a tulip sundae glass. Introduced in 1959 for a mere 50 cents, visitors can still order one today for only $2.99 at Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery. A popular spot with visitors as well as locals, the menu here features traditional home cooking. Be sure to try the beloved pancakes or a slice of heavenly pie.
All things considered, the Golden Gate is a historic yet contemporary boutique hotel that can provide travelers with a luxurious paradise in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.

Without a doubt, family is and should always be more important. While a career can certainly be a rewarding experience, family, especially children should be the focal point. Working couples can find it very difficult to juggle career and family. It is by far better for one parent to stay home and raise the children.
Anyone who thinks career is more important than family probably should not have a family. In these modern times, people seem to have forgotten the importance of a parent teaching, nurturing and caring for children. Sure children seem to do ok when raised by other caregivers, but they will ultimately benefit from the love of a parent.
Having a parent at home not only makes for a stabilizing environment, but also provides security and love for all family members. When women choose to stay home, the house is not just simply a house, but a home. For some women the thought of leaving children to go have a career is unthinkable. Others decide that not using the hard-earned college education is unacceptable. Either way, family has to be the more important of the two.
Having a great family life is a rewarding experience that will continue forever even after retirement and beyond. People can never replace family events such as baby's first steps, school events and other precious moments. No one should have to regret missing life's special moments. Life goes by too fast and people should consider the future when deciding between career and raising a family.
Some would cite financial difficulty when considering having a parent stay at home. The answer should and can be to simply budget purchases and living within the family's means. Families have and do get by on one car, cheaper housing and stretching the dollar. Preparing meals and finding alternatives to going out to expensive places for entertainment can help a family stay within budget.
Single parents do have to support families. There are ways for a single person to work but still be actively raising a family. For instance, the single parent might choose to live at home with his or her parents and work at night. Working from home is another option to explore. Sometimes life events make things difficult but many people manage to find solutions and then make those solutions work.
Choosing between career and family should not even be a question. Developing another human being is one of the most important jobs on earth. In America, people do have the freedom to choose between a career and family. People should give this issue some very serious thought before making a decision. It is important to remember that choices made early on can have profound effects in later life. Planning today can help yield a happier tomorrow.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS — The city's largest playground will have new equipment by early summer for children of all abilities and disabilities.A new boardwalk leading to a nature trail should appeal to many adults. The centerpiece of the Adventure World playground upgrade will be a large-scale, climbing structure with multiple levels and forts, said Vickie Loftice, the city's managing director of community services, and Joe Pack, senior park planner. Other features will include reinforced concrete structures designed to look like logs and mushrooms. New swings will be added, including some designed for children who need support, Pack said. Adventure World, at 7451 Starnes Road, was built in 1994 with the help of community volunteers, city officials have said. The playground was notable because it was designed to be "all-inclusive," with wide pathways and gradually climbing inclines, so children in wheelchairs could access the climbing structures.The playground's size, equipment and location have made it a regional attraction.The wooden structures, however, have begun to deteriorate and need to be updated, city officials said. About 10,000 square feet of the 25,000-square-foot playground will be renovated, Pack said.Work is expected to begin within the next few weeks. The park will be closed during renovations, according to the city's website.The project's $600,000 cost is expected to be covered by a half-cent sales tax, Loftice and Pack said. The project includes drainage improvements and a "woodlands excursion" boardwalk.Adventure World is part of the 100-acre Cross Timbers Park, which has a large section of forest, meadows and small shrub areas. The boardwalk, similar in style to the one at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, will take visitors into the park's natural sections. Volunteers and Scout troops are expected to help build the boardwalk.On a recent Saturday morning, David Hatfield, 30, and Neal Helf, 30, both of Fort Worth, came out with their wives and young children.Hatfield said his wife comes every few weeks during summer. Adventure World is larger than most other playgrounds, and it's a chance to meet friends. Helf said his family likes the variety of play options.Hatfield said he grew up in North Richland Hills, and the playground has not changed much in the past 15 to 20 years. He thought the updated equipment would draw more residents. Helf said the boardwalk will likely attract a whole new group of people."We're always looking for places to take family photos," Helf said.

These cubes are perfect for the den we just finished remodeling! They arrived quicker than I ever imagined and were the perfect size to slide under our window seat. Great for storing blankets, etc. and to pull out for extra seating when we have company. We use the reversible seat/tabletop all the time, and just love the high quality look of them. A homerun all around!
I ordered three Milano Storage Cubes. They arrived quickly and the outside boxes were not damaged. However after opening the packaging I found that one leg on each of the cubes was shattered. The legs are made out of cheap plastic nailed into place. Unfortunately the original packaging seemed to crush one leg on each cube, leaving the nail exposed. Rather than send the cubes back and receive three more cubes that may also be damaged, I opted for removing all of the legs and replacing them myself with much sturdier ones. Over looking this one flaw, the cubes are sturdy and attractive.
These cubes arrived on time and in great condition. The shipping boxes were very secure. I got these before my grandkids came for a visit so I would have a place to store all the toys. I used to have a glass coffee table in that spot and thought that it was too risky around the kids. The cubes fit in perfectly. The only disappointment was the color of the trays. The picture on the website shows that they are cherry colored wood, when in fact they are black.
This storage cube is very sturdy, like the way stuff used to be made back in the day, not like today where everything is made out of cheap plastic. We can tell that it will last for years without breaking down. It is heavy and you can tell is made with quality materials. No assembly required. We use it to store our throw blankets and a couple of pillows for use during TV time. It is also used as a snack table next to the couch with the serving tray for a drink, snack and the remote. And it occasionally serves as extra seating or an ottoman. It has lots of great uses and is used frequently. It is good size and has generous storage space inside. Would highly recommend this storage cube.
this cube is strong and sturdy. it has tons of room to put shoes or blankets in. FUNCTIONS: OTTOMAN, STORAGE, SERVING TABLE, EXTRA SEAT.
This is only one ottoman, which the picture does show two. But, I had read that in other reviews. Arrived quickly and packaged well. Looks very nice and color is accurate. Good value for the price and the tray on top is what I needed. Overall would purchase again.
I called prior to delivery with a question and the Customer Service Rep was very nice and informative. Arrived in good condition and right on time even with the busy season. Storage Cube is a very nice, attractive addition to our guest room. Good storage and attractive when used as table top (which is black and well constructed) or stool. It was ready to use right out of the box.
very functional as a seat, storage, footrest and eating tray. Excellent for the price. Looks like real leather and probably will last longer. good investment
Much nicer than expected. One was damaged in shipping but customer service at Overstock was outstanding.
