Best BoatsThe business maxim that you have to innovate your way out of a recession seems to have been taken to heart by boatbuilders. After a comparatively small field of new boats in 2009, this year's boat shows were crammed with talent. There was genuine innovation, a great degree of variety, and a good many excellent examples of the art of boat design and building.

CaribbeanI'm lounging in the spacious cockpit of a Jeanneau 54 named Endless Reach, watching the moon rise over Culebra as I listen to an impromptu after-dinner talent show featuring owner Rob Godwin on guitar. The softness of the evening, the warmth of new friendships and, of course, the rum, is bringing out the inner Bob Marley in all of us. Just then, our Grenadian flotilla captain, Ron Phillips, makes

CaribbeanSome people start a charter with a set itinerary worked out well in advance. Sunday night in anchorage X, Monday night on a mooring in bay Y, Tuesday the lobster special at bar Z, and so on.

CruisingSouthwest Florida is one of my favorite cruising areas, especially in early November when the Chesapeake Bay is starting to get chilly and Lake Huron's North Channel is just plain miserable. The winds have shaken off the summer doldrums, the temperature is in the mid to upper 70s, and anchorages and marinas are not yet crowded with winter visitors. In short, it's the ideal time and place for a

Wind farm giant goes after 'myths'
Ed Cherian of Iberdrola Renewables said the state, the towns involved and scores of private landowners will see large financial benefits from the proposed Wild Meadows Wind Power Project on leased land in the towns of Alexandria, Danbury and Grafton.
Cherian disputed claims from Dr. Benjamin Luce, a professor of physics and the chairman of the Sustainability Studies Program at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt., at a recent meeting of New Hampshire Wind Watch that cast doubt on wind power's potential renewable energy contributions in the state.
Luce said the Midwest is the only part of the United States suited for wind-power production at levels that can make practical contributions to the country's renewable energy portfolio standards.
"It's true that wind power is never going to produce half of New Hampshire's power, but it is another useful energy that contributes to the diversity of renewable power in New Hampshire and New England," Cherian said.
He said Wild Meadows would produce, on average, enough electricity to power more than 32,000 average New Hampshire homes. The power would be added to the regional power grid, and would not go directly to the Granite State.
Study disputed
Cherian said there are "myths" being spread by opponents of the project, including Wind Watch, a 1,300-member group which opposes the project. One, he said, is that the wind farm would decrease property values.
"The property value argument is an emotional issue," he said. "It's been studied and these projects have been found to have no impact on property values."
Wind Watch members, who stand by Luce's statements that wind power will contribute little if any to New Hampshire's energy needs, say studies and decisions made about wind farms in Groton and Lempster are not applicable to the Wild Meadows project because those two towns do not have a large tourist economy based on natural treasures like Newfound Lake and Cardigan Mountain.
"Those are smaller farms, and they aren't in built-up areas like we have here," said Lori Lerner of Wind Watch. "We're talking about a whole lot of wind towers lining the ridges of Newfound Lake. Of course there will be a loss in property values."
A study done in December by the Whittemore School of Business and Economics into the local economic effects of Iberdrola's 12-turbine, 24-megawatt wind farm in Lempster, found the project had little or no effect on property values.
"Based on the analysis conducted in this student and taking into account other studies - based on arms-length sales property transactions, there is no evidence to suggest that the Lempster Wind Power Project has had any consistent, observable, statistically significant impact on property values in Lempster or the communities surrounding the project," the study concluded.
Property values
Cherian said in granting approval for the company's Groton project in May 2011, the state's Site Evaluation Committee heard testimony from area residents and business owners who said the Groton project would damage land values and the economy.
But in its decision document, the SEC stated: "the project will not affect land use and tourism in a manner or degree that would unduly interfere with the orderly development of the region."
Woody Miller, a realtor at Coldwell Bank and Old Mill Properties in Bristol, said the Groton wind farm has likely already slowed the sale of one of his properties in neighboring Rumney. The property once had a nice view, but "now looks at 15 wind towers," he said.
Miller said his firm has had several potential buyers "who have expressed concern about buying in this area because of the potential wind farms."
"I would argue that wind farms here will have a substantial effect on fair-market property values," he said. "If you eliminate even a few of the pool of potential buyers for a particular property, it hurts property sales and therefore values."
Financial impact
Cherian said Iberdrola wind farms in Groton and Lempster contribute heavily to the budgets of those towns, he said, noting the three towns involved in Wild Meadows would see similar benefits.
In the first year of operation, the project would contribute $286,000 to Alexandria's tax base, $352,000 to Danbury, and $176,000 to Grafton, he said. Those amounts would increase yearly, he said.
All of the towns would also see a substantial one-time tax payment from the company for the change in land usage, he said.
The Newfound Lake Association has come out against the Wild Meadows project, as has Bridgewater's board of selectmen. Meanwhile, Rep. Harold "Skip" Reilly, Sr., R-Grafton County District 8, has proposed a bill that would put a moratorium on new wind-power projects until the state updates its energy plans.

We continue our feature on United's first Double winners, the talented 1993/1994 team, by focusing on full-back Denis Irwin...
Overall contribution A model of consistency and dangerous from set-pieces, the unassuming Irishman was extremely influential from left-back. Linking superbly with the attacking players and defending resolutely, there was little more that could be asked of the shrewd signing from Oldham Athletic. The only Premier League ever-present throughout the memorable season.
Best performance The overall team display at Selhurst Park in February, when Wimbledon were put to the sword, was as entertaining as any this term. Irwin was his usual excellent self and scored a sublime third goal after a beautiful move, finishing past Hans Segers to cap a fine showing in the FA Cup fifth round.
Key moment Things were to turn around pretty swiftly but, when Irwin flighted a free-kick past Bruce Grobbelaar to hand United a 3-0 lead at Anfield with only 24 minutes gone, the away fans were in dreamland. The TV commentator famously remarked the Reds had nobody in the opposing box as Irwin strode forward and his shot explained why that was the case.
What he said "Defending is the main priority but, these days, teams are looking to defenders to give them more attacking options. We're a passing team; we seem to have the majority of the possession in matches and it enables me to get forward quite a bit. I think more or less everybody in our team can score goals and that usually shows on the goalscoring

Foxconn C51XEM2AA AM2 SLI Mainboard
Manufactured by: Foxconn
by Dean Barker (7/30/2006)
Foxconn has been pushing further and further into the enthusiasts market and their new nForce 590 based mainboard, the C51XEM2AA, represents a major thrust. The nForce 590 brings lots of new features to the table and as such, makes a nice platform for Foxconn to hang their performance hat on. Introducing DDR2 to an AMD platform coupled with true 16x SLI support, six SATA II ports, dual Gigabit LAN and RAID just start the show off, are practical features that will attract a lot of attention.
This is the first AM2 based board we've had here in the shop, so for this review we are going to focus more on what you get and what these features can do for you in the absence of an apples to apples comparison product. We want to extend our thanks to Foxconn for making this review possible. Since we only gave you a partial listing of features/specs so far, let's start things off with the official white paper list.
What you get
Foxconn has learned that end users like stuff. Not just any stuff but stuff that makes the most out of the original product. With Foxconn's C51XEM2AA mainboard you get six black SATA cables, one black rounded ATA133 cable, one black rounded floppy cable, three SATA power adapters with two SATA plugs on each, a four port USB rear bracket, IEEE1394a/IEEE1394b combo bracket, COM port add in bracket, SLI crossover connector, I/O plate, driver/utility CD, quick reference poster and a full detail owners manual. Foxconn is one of a small number of manufacturers that include everything needed to take complete control of every feature of their products without a trip to Best Buy. That is what I call good stuff.

Ricardo Villalobos is the avatar of that avant-garde permutation of house music often called ketamine-house (for its drugged, psychedelic effects that swirl around the beat, though one can also hear that giddy rush of whippet hits too). And every album and single he releases anticipates where the amoebic form might spread next (or what designer drug will enhance it best). Unlike his spiny 2003 album named for an artichoke and 2004's cactus-prickly Thé au Harem d'Archimde, the four sprawling tracks of Achso are fertile, brimming with lush vegetation and primordial ooze. "Seiso" has sonorous guitar feedback coursing through its matrices, where drums burst forth like jungle cats through the overgrowth. "Ichso" evokes a gurgling waterfall but soon expands into a jet-engine roar as little ticks and cymbals hive-dance around it. Hooks and beats appear amid the fluctuating verdure like organisms vying for space, suggesting not just one plant but an entire ecosystem.

It may be that difference in candidates that draws out the voters. Incumbent, Gary Wescott is running for his ninth year. He says his proven public policy can get the area through the worst budget crisis in State history.
His challenger, Amy Heart, a programs assistant with the University of Stevens Point says she will make sure every voice is represented. Her top priority is controlling urban sprawl and maintaining business development inside Stevens Point as opposed to developing the fringes of the city.
Both candidates differ on how to handle the redevelopment of Highway 10. Wescott supports a Highway bypass and Heart would like to see a traffic study completed by the Department of Transportation but she doesn't believe a four-lane bypass would enhance the city.
Polls open at city locations in Stevens Point at 7:00 a.m.

LONDON – Wheat farmers in the European Union, which produces about 20 percent of the world's supply, will begin harvesting the largest crop in six years in the next few weeks, compounding a global surplus as prices slump.
The 28-nation EU may produce 145.9 million metric tons in the season that starts July 1, according to the average estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. That's bigger than the European Commission's forecast of 144.98 million tons and the largest since the 2008, when the world's farmers expanded output to take advantage of record prices.
More wheat from Romania to Britain is adding to global inventories that rose for the first time in three years after record crops in 2013.
Demand is slowing, and output is rising from importers including China and Brazil. By year-end, wheat futures in Paris may drop 15 percent to $220 a ton, the survey showed. Prices fell 9.1 percent from a four-month high in April, when violent conflicts between Russia and Ukraine sparked concern Black Sea exports would be disrupted.
I struggle to be anything but bearish, Chris Gadd, an analyst at Macquarie Group in London, said in a telephone interview. In Europe, the crops look absolutely fantastic, and in Eastern Europe as well as the Black Sea region, there are no real issues as yet.
Milling wheat for November delivery traded at $261 a ton in Paris on Wednesday after falling to $258 on June 2, the lowest for a most-active contract since Feb. 28. A drop to $221 would be the lowest since July 2010. Prices already declined 6.5 percent this year, while wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade increased 1.4 percent as drought in the Great Plains threatened U.S. output.
EU production of wheat, excluding durum, a hard variety used to make pasta, may be 139.16 million tons, 2.3 percent more than in 2013, according to estimates released May 27 by Alfred C. Toepfer International, a trading unit of grain handler Archer-Daniels-Midland.
While top producers France and Germany will see little change in output, the harvest will jump 26 percent in Britain to 15.07 million tons, the Hamburg trader said, as farms rebounded from a rain-damaged crop last season that was the smallest in 12 years.
Output also will be higher in countries including Romania, Bulgaria, Denmark and Sweden, as Spain falls 24 percent to 5.1 million tons, Toepfer said.
Combined production in Russia and Ukraine, which compete with the EU and U.S. in export markets, may total 72 million tons, down 3.2 percent from a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. Russia may collect as much as 55 million tons, more than the 52 million forecast by the USDA, Agriculture Minister Nikolai Fedorov said May 28.
Black Sea wheat for delivery after the harvest fell to $255 a ton June 3 from $275 in mid-May, as French grain in Rouen slid to $252 from $283 earlier in the month, data from the International Grains Council show.

Afternoon Delight: "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" out-emo each other, Jane Lynch takes her wife to the Baftas
You guys! I'm back! I missed you! I was at the hospital almost all of last week dealing with a family emergency, and while there was plenty of free coffee and wi-fi, the hospital internet wouldn't let me do any work because AfterEllen.com was flagged as porn! Too many uses of the words "naked" and "lesbian," I guess. (Writing it again in this post probably just adds to the firewall confusion. Oh well. Naked lesbian. Naked lesbian. Naked lesbian. I just like the sound of it.)
Did you read our run-down of last night's MTV Movie Awards? My favorite part wasn't the close-up of Christina Aguilera's heart-shaped light-up knickers, or Kristen Stewart's "Variations of Boredom", or even the way people on the east coast live feed got to hear so many F-Bombs. No, my favorite part was emo-off between Eclipse and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
See the teasers for yourself, if you haven't already:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Verdict: Eclipse wins the emo-off because of the solo piano and cellos. Deathly Hallows wins the awesome-off because how could it not? Harry Potter is only the greatest story ever told.
- In actual awards show news, the Baftas went down last night. Jane Lynch was there with her new wifey in tow, and when she took the stage to present the award for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Role, she was greeted with raucous applause.

- After suffering through a terrible season of 24, Cherry Jones has pulled a Katherine Heigl and taken herself out of the Emmy race for Best Supporting Actress. Who can blame her, when executive producer Howard Gordon explained her character like this a few weeks ago: "There was some other mid-season purpose for her, but I can't remember; even in the beginning, I told her I didn't have much of a part for her." Turns out he didn't have much of a part for anyone in the final season. [via Movieline]
- Still mourning the loss of lesbian FBI agent Janis Hawk on FlashForward? Well, here's your chance to protest while making a public spectacle of yourself. On June 10, fans of the show are planning a 2 minute, 17 second blackout in front of ABC network and affiliate offices in New York, L.A., Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta. If it works, I'm going to start spending my weekends wearing an "I Heart Veronica Mars" sandwich board and ringing a bell in front of CW. I mean, it's never too late, right? [via Variety]
- Ms. Magazine posted an amazing interview with FEMINIST HULK, the superhero whose all-caps commentary on feminism, gender and Judith Butler have earned him 10,000 Twitter followers in the last month. Don't worry; if you don't understand Hulk-speak, the Hulk's "literary life-partner, J" translates the interview:
Ms.: When did you first discover your feminist superpowers?
feministhulk (to J): WHICH CAME FIRST, THE JUDITH BUTLER OR THE RADIATION?
J: Definitely Butler.
feministhulk: IN BEGINNING, HULK SMASH FOR LOVE OF SMASH. LATER, HULK REALIZE CRAVING FOR SMASH CAUSED BY HEGEMONIC FORCES WHICH DISCONNECTED HULK FROM SELF. HULK QUESTION SYSTEMS OF PRIVILEGE. SOON HULK SMASH WITH GREATER PURPOSE. CULTURAL MINDFULNESS GIVE HULK SUPERPOWERS OF ANTI-PATRIARCHAL SMASH.

KPMG's M&A Predictor looks at the appetite and capacity for M&A deals by analysing key indicators 12 months forward.
Ongoing debates between politicians, economists and central bankers as to how to deal with the European sovereign debt and banking crisis continue on a daily basis in summits and across the media. It seems that the only thing that we can be really sure of is that no one really knows where this will all end up.
In short, either the North will have to bail out the South in some way, or there are likely to be defaults and possible eurozone exits by one or more countries. Either way the outlook is not good with the least worst outcome being to continue to muddle through with significant austerity and, at best, weak growth
Global companies are doing little more than 'flipping a coin' when it comes to enhancing value through deals in the emerging markets of the Asia Pacific (ASPAC) region. KPMG's latest global M&A study 'A new dawn' of more than 150 respondents found that the days of deals which were guaranteed to add, or at least maintain, value have come to an abrupt halt; 40% of ASPAC deals are now destined to failure, with a further 20% being of only neutral value to the acquirer.

Thanks! I peed on a opk yesterday because I was just as ... well let's just say it.

HA HA HA So just to put my mind at ease I used an opk to see what it would say. It was negative. So maybe an early pregnancy symptom? I remember being so horny I was driving DH nuts when I first got pregnant with Wyatt. Then morning sickness kicked in and the poor guy didn't get sex weeks. LOL
|Thu, 07-28-2011 - 12:40pm
I tested this morning and there was a faint line! So, it looks like I am here to stay!!! I am giong to take another test to make sure. I also want to make sure tha the test continues to get darker. This is my 4th pregnancy and the last one was a miscarraige.

This is the first time in a long time I have been excited to have sore boobs. LOL They have been getting puffy and sore through out the day. I am hoping that is a good sign and not just AF playing a dirty trick on me.

DALTON, Ga.—Lower state and local revenues will require Dalton City Schools to cut its budget by $4 million to $5 million in the upcoming fiscal year, system Superintendent Jim Hawkins told school board members Friday.
That would mean total cuts of almost $15 million over three years, Hawkins said.
During a daylong meeting at Dalton State College, school board members said they did not want to raise millage rates to meet the budget shortfall unless it was a last resort to provide a good education to students.
Board members also discussed the possibility of building a new middle school, but they decided to look at rezoning and reconfiguring other schools to take students out of the overcrowded Dalton Middle School.
Friday's meeting focused primarily on budget numbers, as the school system prepares to put together a budget for the 2012 fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
Hawkins said it is difficult to estimate local revenue, but based on "lots and lots and lots of estimates" the local property tax money going to the school system is expected to decrease about 10 percent, or $2.6 million.
"Some people believe 10 percent is a conservative number," he said.
State revenues would provide about $29 million, leaving the school system with about $53 million for the upcoming year, Hawkins said.
Teams are working to target spending reductions, but Hawkins said he did not want to prematurely say what those likely would be. Last year, the school cut 57 positions, shortened the school year and reduced salaries.
Hawkins plans to present specific recommendations for cuts in March, with an opportunity for feedback from employees, parents and the community, he said. The board will vote on a first draft of the budget in May and vote on the final budget in June.
After discussing various options to relieve overcrowding at Dalton Middle, board members asked for information about reconfiguring grade levels at different schools and rezoning students. The middle school is operating at more than 100 percent capacity this year, with enrollment expected to increase.
Board of Education Chairman Steve Williams asked for information by June, so board members could make a decision on whether to ask voters to approve a 1 cent education special purpose local option sales tax in November.
The Whitfield County Board of Education has indicated it will ask for the tax after voting this week to move ahead with building Eastbook Middle School, a $24 million project. Both school systems must ask for the tax, since both share the revenue.
"We're waiting for them [Whitfield County] to move forward, but we want to cooperate with the county board of education on whatever their plan might be," Williams said at the meeting.

SPARR, Fla. (AP) - Officials at a Florida high school cancelled a few games after what appeared to be a small sinkhole opened on the baseball field.
The Ocala Star-Banner (http://bit.ly/10jG3a6 ) reports North Marion High School baseball and softball games were cancelled Wednesday after the hole was discovered near a sprinkler head in left field. Officials are calling it a "depression."
Supervisor of facilities Robert Knight told the Star-Banner that school safety officials will dig into the ground near the hole on Thursday to determine whether it's a full-blown sinkhole.
If it is a sinkhole, Knight says the school district may order a geological survey of the area.

Author/Artist Review
Submitted: April 02, 2010
Tell us a little about yourself. I graduated home school high school in 2007, and live in the beautiful piney woods of Texas, with my parents, six brothers, and sister. Ever since I was very young, the Lord has given me a vision to encourage girls in their walk with Christ. This is my second book to Christian daughters.
What was your motivation behind this project? My goal in All Glorious Within was to encourage girls to live fully for our Lord and Savior. I also endeavored to exhort them that true beauty resides within--and they can attain that beauty through a noble, victorious walk with Christ.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? It is my prayer that young ladies who read All Glorious Within will be motivated to glorify God in everything they do. I also want daughters to be reminded that they are not alone--the Lord will never leave or forsake them (Hebrews 13:5)--and that there are many other Christians who long to live fully for Him.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? One evening I felt especially overwhelmed by the amount of work regarding All Glorious Within. I realized that publishing the book was going to take longer than I had initially anticipated. When I shared these thoughts with my sister, she said, "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." That verse--Proverbs 16:3--became one that I referred to often as I worked on this book. God taught me that His way is perfect, and His plans are greater than mine. He gave me several Scriptures that reminded me of the importance of being surrendered to His will. The Lord showed His faithfulness in orchestrating many "last minute details"--I definitely saw His goodness in countless ways! I praise God for everything He taught me through this project and give Him all the glory for the many wonderful things He has done and continues to do every day!
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I deeply value my parents' influence on my life. The way they have raised me has positively impacted me for Christ, as has their godly counsel. I also enjoy reading edifying books and being with godly family and friends that exhort me in the Lord. But the greatest source of encouragement, inspiration, and teaching I receive comes from God's Word. Truly, there is no greater treasure to a Christian! My parents have always taught their children to daily spend time with the Lord, and I am reaping the benefits of that habit! The Lord has shown me, however, that to truly grow in Him, I must not only read His Word, but I must also apply it to my life.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: A passage of Scripture that is meaningful to me is Psalm 5:11-12, "But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them: let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee. For Thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt Thou compass him as with a shield." Christians who are resting peacefully in God's perfect will for their lives can rejoice, because the Lord is with them! As we learn to love Him, trust Him, seek Him, and remain His faithful and devoted servant, we can be joyful in knowing that He will not forsake us. Christian friends, continue standing strong in the Lord--do not grow weary in well doing; you will reap if you do not faint!

Emanuel wants to hike fines for graffiti, but alderman wants more
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter June 23, 2014 1:07PM
Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Tom Byrne and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are shown looking over a garage wall that would be painted by the Graffiti-Removal Crew, in the 2900 block of West 59th Street. | Sun-Times File Photo
Updated: July 25, 2014 6:17AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is moving to crack the whip on graffiti vandals, but not enough to satisfy a Southwest Side alderman who proposed an even tougher crackdown two years ago in response to a spike in gang graffiti and a slowdown in city removal of it.
Ald. Mike Zalewski (23rd) said Emanuel's plan to more than double the fines against graffiti vandals — from $750 currently to $1,500 to $2,500 — is not enough because fines are seldom levied and rarely collected.
Instead, Zalewski wants to join forces with the mayor on the ordinance he introduced in 2012, two days after vandals with red spray paint defaced a memorial to fallen Chicago Police officers near Soldier Field.
It would take graffiti cases out of the hands of city hearing officers and return them to the courts, where judges may be more inclined to throw the book at offenders.
In addition, the Zalewski-sponsored ordinance that has languished in committee would dramatically increase the fines for graffiti vandals — from $750 and up to 1,500 hours of community service to $2,000 and "not less than three days" in jail or 2,500 hours of community service. It would double the minimum fine for parents or legal guardians — from $250 to $500 — and raise the top fine from $750 to $1,000.
"My ordinance was based on a lot of community input where residents were going to administrative hearings and not seeing much reaction or no reaction at all. They didn't think it was much of a deterrent," Zalewski said Monday.
"We're not talking about street artists who . . . paint a mural. Pitchforks and crowns are strictly designed to let criminals know [gangs control the turf]. It leaves an impression the area is gang-infested. It scares people when this stuff sits out there. The city does the best they can. But, for us to continually have to clean the same locations on a weekly basis — we're fighting a losing battle."
Chicago Police Department spokesman Marty Maloney said police made 564 graffiti-related arrests in 2012 and 528 last year. City Hall did not release fine collections during the same period.
Zalewski said the mayor's office called him on Monday.
"They want to meet with me to see if we can work together, which is absolutely fine. I don't care who gets the credit," he said.
Two years ago, Emanuel defended his decision to cut his predecessor's popular graffiti blasters program — and alter the city's plan of attack — despite a slowdown in graffiti removal that had one frustrated alderman using his expense allowance to remove it.
In a press release Monday, Emanuel portrayed the higher fines as a complement to the nearly $1 million in additional resources for graffiti removal in his 2014 budget.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation used the money to add two graffiti blaster crews, two chemical graffiti removal trucks, one painting crew and a weekend graffiti removal shift.
A 2-year-old grid system is used to "blitz" four wards per day in response to graffiti complaints. City Hall insists the grid system has increased daily productivity by individual crews by 17 percent.
"Graffiti is vandalism that impacts the beauty and vitality of our neighborhoods," Emanuel was quoted as saying in the press release. "By increasing fines, we are working to deter future vandalism."

Lindsay Lohan newest crush and her self-described "perfect man" is none other than A-list actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The troubled Irish-American actress is pining over "The Departed" star, even though sources say he is not interested in a romantic relationship with her.
"Lindsay has a major crush on Leonardo but that's as far as it goes right now," and insider told Contactmusic.
"She knows him, they are friends but that's it. Lindsay is ready to be more then friends with Leo but he doesn't see her that way.
"She's says he's her perfect man but fears he doesn't take her seriously."
The 23-year-old "Mean Girls" star was seen flirting with DiCaprio at a Hollywood party recently.
A source shared: "As soon as Lindsay saw Leonardo she was like a bee to honey. When she spotted him in a dark corner of the club she headed straight for him.
"She quickly monopolized his conversation and made sure she had him all to herself.
"They talked and Lindsay danced in front of him but nothing happened. They went home separately."

Staff photo by Dan Henry Incentium has established their company headquarters in the former "The Loft" restaurant off of Cherokee Boulevard.
We tend to return to the restaurants that have served up some of our best culinary experiences. Whether it's a meal enjoyed on a special occasion or a meal so good it became a special occasion, our outings to area restaurants later can trigger some of our most powerful nostalgia trips. How sad then that some of our favorite places to dine exist only in our memories.
For instance, there are moments when I wish I could bite into the Lookout Mountain pizza from Piza Pizza. And my mouth can't help but water when I remember the great burgers I once enjoyed at George's downtown.
I remember dates I had in my teenage years at Bethea's in Brainerd. The owners would set up charge accounts for McCallie boarding students, so one of my favorite boyfriends and I would eat there often. I loved the fried chicken. But all that came to an end when his parents called and told the Betheas to stop issuing their son any more credit. It was nice while it lasted, though.
Here are others that take me down memory lane and make me wish I could go back in time just once and eat my way across town.
Rumor had it that Jolly Ox was a pseudonym for owner Steak and Ale. At the time, I've been told, Chattanooga law prohibited any reference to alcohol in a restaurant's name. But the real emphasis was on mouthwatering steaks. There was a very good salad bar too, as I recall. Back in
the the mid-1970s, it was one of few places in town where a guy could take a date to really impress her, which happened to me a few times.
Shakey's was the first chain pizza parlor in the Scenic City. This was back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and folks came in droves. It was a new experience for Chattanoogans, who could sit at the long tables and enjoy this great new taste. I loved it. These days, with so many topping options, I can appreciate the simplicity of Shakey's pizza. Shakey's still exists in other cities, but the closest is in Auburn, Ala.
The original Loft, before it burned and was rebuilt, was the coolest restaurant to open in Chattanooga in the 1970s. One might think of it as the cornerstone for growth along the North Shore, though it took a few decades for other restaurateurs to take note. I'll never forget the salad bar and French onion soup. Both were incredible. And the filet? Mouthwatering.
The Brass Register was the meeting place. During the day, it was a popular spot for everything from ladies' luncheons to business meetings. In the evenings, it turned over to the beer-drinking, burger-devouring crowd. The BR burgers were out of this world; nothing compared. And the potato chips were like none we'd ever experienced — they were homemade, cooked a little darker, all different shapes and full of flavor.
Mr. Fifteen had, hands-down, the best fries in town. Long before McDonald's and Burger King proliferated, Mr. Fifteen was churning out those long skinny fries like they were coming straight from the potato patch. They had some competition from Krystal when it came to burgers, but not french fries. I don't know what happened, but by the 1970s, the countdown for Mr. Fifteen's demise had begun.
The Green Room at the Read House was one of those extra-special places where you went when expert service and superior food were on the night's agenda. I'll never forget one of the most romantic meals of my life was spent over an excellent bottle of wine and some of the best lamb chops I've ever put in my mouth.
Though I only visited Eidson's a couple of times, the home-cooked meat and veggies reminded me of my Grandma's. The baked squash was outstanding. What's so disappointing about its closing, though, is that it was an East Ridge institution for 56 years before it closed last month.
The original Town and Country, located at the corner of Frazier Avenue and North Market Street, is the best memory-maker for my husband and myself. Tom ate there growing up and constantly asks me to make the au jus for beef and the bleu cheese dressing for salads. Luckily, I was able to find a cookbook containing those recipes before the restaurant closed. For me, it was a meeting place for friends talking about event planning, enjoying some afternoon cocktails and some of the best home cooking in town. And less I forget, my favorite server, Mary Burton
We want to hear from you. Let us know which restaurant you miss. E-mail Anne Braly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The blackened amberjack was an immense fillet at the Fifth Quarter on Brainerd Rd. They had a fine salad bar, too. I'm happy for the success of the wonderful Kyriakidis family at the Acropolis, but preferred the down-home style and prices at their Little Athens in East Ridge. Don Penney's BBQ on Brainerd Rd was the best! The Q always came with a good char.
My memories of the Town & Country included the Lava Lamp on the table in the front entrance (I finally got my own about 6 years ago), and the amazing Russian salad dressing. I still think of T&C whenever I have Russian dressing here in Metro Atlanta. Last time I was there a friend of mine happened to be playing the piano at dinner. There was a Dalton location for a few years as well.
Forget Piza Pizza. The servers were rude and the food mediocre.
in an unrelated note, please refer to www.chaz-jerrybreakfastadventures.com for an interesting spin on breakfast in Chattanooga and its surrounding areas.
How about Fehns, a cullinary institution in Chattanooga since the 1930s. They are still doing business in an old victorian school house in Dayton, TN. They still have the best fried shrimp and fried chicken in the world...and great prime rib and fresh seafood. The macaroon pie is rightfully famous. Don Fehn, the grandson, makes everything from scratch. It's as close to the good ole days of Chattanooga restaurants as you can get.

Alleged Drunk Driver Who Killed Teen Posts Car Wreckage on Facebook
Michael Vanwagner claimed he didn't know that he hit another car while driving drunk on probation for a previous felony conviction.
Residents of a Minneapolis suburb are outraged after an alleged drunk driver who killed a 16-year-old posted a photo of his totaled car to Facebook and added a smiley face to his oblivious comment.
The crash occurred on July 22 and involved Michael Vanwagner, 24, hitting the vehicle of Jason McCarthy after he had already sideswiped another vehicle. The teenager was in critical condition for several days after and was eventually placed on life support that weekend "so family can get [t]here and say goodbye." McCarthy passed away on July 29.
But on the Saturday before the boy's death, Vanwagner posted photos of his wrecked car to Facebook and wrote, "That's her front end after I got done with her lol." He later posted a second photo of his vehicle and claimed that he was "all good slept a day in the hospital then came home and did yard work lol."
Vanwagner later told reporters on the day of McCarthy's death that he was aware he had hit something, but wasn't aware it was another vehicle. State Patrol Sgt. Jesse Grabow said that "the odor of alcoholic beverage was noticed" on Vanwagner, while a police report confirmed that his license was expired at the time. However, his driving record showed that he had been charged twice previously with driving while his license was suspended.
He was currently on probation for a felony conviction over making terrorist threats last April. The terms of that probation included not using alcohol or drugs and remaining law-abiding. Both the results of Vanwagner's blood alcohol test and charges against him are still pending, though he is certain to see prison time.

I recently wrote a post about how I'm learning to take insanely great pictures. This is the first follow-up community post on that topic, with more to come as I learn the ropes.
First things first: I'm already taking better pictures than I ever have before. So even with just a bit of motivation, the right camera, and some patience, you can definitely take pictures that are orders of magnitude better than before.
I'm not yet taking world-class pictures -- I know that will take years of practice -- but as an example, here are a few of the pictures I took this past weekend at a friend's wedding:
Here's my setup so far, as well as tips on what I've learned:
1) I'm using the Panasonic Lumix GX1 camera exclusively for all these shots. In the main blog post I wrote a number of details on why I picked that camera.
2) After I've shot a couple hundred shots, I take the SD card out of the camera and pop it into my laptop, and I import the pictures into Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom is the same software most professional photographers use for cataloging their pictures. It can be a bit daunting, so you have to decide if you want to commit to learning it. But I'd say that taking great photos is equal parts photographer skill + the right camera + post-processing in an environment like Lightroom. Or to put it another way, if you're not importing your photos into Lightroom and tweaking them, you won't get the kinds of photos you see above. Also, I shoot in the RAW file format vs. JPG, which gives me the ability to tweak the photos much more in Lightroom (but also produces much larger image sizes). If you want me to write a more in-depth post about how I use Lightroom, please let me know in the comments below.
3) I created an account on SmugMug to showcase the photos I want to export from Lightroom. Lightroom integrates with SmugMug directly from the app and will sync changes to your albums that you make to photos in Lightroom.
4) Sometimes, I take a 5 shot burst of varying exposures for importing into Photomatix Pro. This produces the deep HDR photos, like of this desert landscape in my SmugMug Landscapes album.
I still have to get through the entire online manual for the camera; I have a lot to learn about aperture, shutter speeds, framing the shot and lots more. I also ordered two faster SD cards to test (to write pictures to the camera faster, and without a delay); I'll write a post up with the results of that test next week.
Lastly, here's a little pro tip for the Lumix GX1: The lens cover is small and easy to lose. So I did a little ghetto velcro work to secure the lens cap when I'm using the camera:
photonatrix is definitely the best HDR program I have found. I'm personally not crazy about Lightroom/SmugMug but happy to talk more about that in person.
Let's do that Photoshoot w/your family soon (alterior motive alert: I get to hold her again!)
Will write more about LR & SmugMug soon for all to see...
Lisa, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to get your comments about LR + SmugMug over here: http://lifewetravel.com/hacking-smugmug-adobe-lightroom -- and especially to hear on that thread about whatever workflow you use.
Looking forward to reading more about your experience with this camera. I've got the same one and have already been taking better photos. I'm still not 100% sold on it though, coming from a Canon background the UI of the Lumix is bit intimidating. I'd still like to toy around with the Sony NEX lines to see how their UI's feel.
There's a great BusinessInsider article about how Facebook has recently begun focusing heavily on retargeted ads. The crux of the story is this: The holy grail in advertising is knowing a user's "intent," because if you know what they intend to do, you can influence their behavior through advertising. Facebook has been working for years to discern "intent" via a complex formula that creates a social graph for each user, with big data mining algorithms that seek to divine what a user will be interested in based on that graph, so ads can be targeted in real-time to those users.
And instead, what's proving best at monetizing off "intent" is good, old-fashioned ad retargeting, which Facebook has recently started doing.
What struck me is that for the first time in years, a Facebook ad recently caught my eye. And it was a retargeted ad.
Want to see more photos I've taken? Visit my photo gallery.
UPDATE 12/13: The Lumix GX7 is the successor to the Lumix GX1 that I review (and love) below. It's pricey ($828 on Amazon or $998 with lens) because it's new, and you can now get a screaming deal on the GX1 (as low as $227). The two big advantages of the GX7 are 25% less noise in pics + wifi capabilities (including app remote control). I haven't made the switch yet, but I did do a more in-depth comparison on the two cameras here. If you do, let me know what you think in the comments below!
My wife and I are on a quest to learn how to take insanely great pictures. We are just starting this journey and I invite you to share it with us if photography is a passion of yours. The picture above is one of our first attempts at taking the kinds of photos that have a "wow" factor that transcends a regular photo. The photo was taken by my wife; that's my friend Keoni on the left and me on the right.

I wonder if the money changers in the temple thought Jesus was nonviolent as he whipped them and turned over their money changing tables.

Christianity is not a suicide pact. There´s a difference between walking away from fight because you´re a better man and running away from a fight because you´re a coward.Non-violence only works against people who are basically decent and fair minded. Refusing to fight back when it is not only yourself but family, friends, neighbors, and even your country under threat is just the worst kind of sniveling cowardliness.There times when turning the other cheek is the best thing you can do to end a conflict, but too many Christians have been deceived into thinking it is the only response a Christian can give.

It was St. Thomas Aquinas, with a hat tip to St. Augustine, who formulated the just war doctrine in response to the murdering Mohammedans rampaging across Europe at the turn of the first millennium. Robust Christianity has been lost in our modern culture because of misguided interpretations of Scripture.
