Mark Webber claimed the victory at a processional Monaco GP ahead of Nico Rosberg, crowning him the sixth different winner of this season.
It was yet another race dominated by tyre management where rain threatened to give an ordinary race an extraordinary twist. Sadly it only started bucketing down after the cars had crossed the line.
Mark Webber came home in front of Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso with Sebastian Vettel taking advatnage of a first corner accident, caused by Romain Grosjean, to jump from P9 to P6 on the opening lap, and using tyre strategy to claim P4 by the flag. Lewis Hamilton finished fifth followed him by a reinvigorated Felipe Massa.
Race Report
It was pale sunshine on the grid at Monaco with some rain forecast for later in the afternoon and with an ambient temperature of 22C and the track at 36C.
Six Rows of Grid
1. Mark Webber, 2.Nico Rosberg, 3.Lewis Hamilton, 4.Romain Grosjean, 5.Fernando Alonso, 6.Michael Schumacher 7.Felipe Massa, 8.Kimi Raikkonen, 9.Sebastian Vettel, 10.Nico Hulkenberg 11.Kamui Kobayashi, 12.Jenson Button
As the lights went out Mark Webber got a brilliant getaway and was easily into Ste Devote in front of Nico Rosberg with Hamilton slow away but still holding onto third place. Behind, it got messy.
Romain Grosjean was slow away and tried to get past Fernando Alonso hooking his front tyre inside the rear tyre of the Ferrari as he squeezed across to the inside. Realising that this wasn't going to work, he then moved to the outside again and found Michael Schumacher's Mercedes there - bounced into it and spun around facing the rest of the field, his tyre deranged and his front wing smashed.
Miraculously almost all the rest of the field managed to miss him as they streamed either side going through St.Devote. Vettel, Hulkenberg and Ricciardo managed to use the escape road - Vettel took a place off Raikkonen thanks to it. (The stewards took a look at it but it was either that or have an accident).
Kamui Kobayashi tried to take avoiding action, clipped the back of the Lotus leaping the Sauber into the air and clunking Jenson Button in the process. His race would only last five laps. Button had looked to make up some places at the start but instead now found himself stuck behind the Caterham of Kovalainen thanks to the bump from Kobayashi.
Right at the back of the grid Pastor Maldonado, relegated by a 10-place penalty from FP3 and a 5-place gearbox change penalty increased his frustration by misjudging his braking and thumping straight into the back of Pedro de la Rosa's HRT at Ste Devote removing the Spaniard's rear wing.
Positions at the end of Lap One
1.Webber, 2.Rosberg, 3.Hamilton 4.Alonso, 5.Massa, 6.Vettel, 7.Raikkonen, 8.Schumacher, 9.Hulkenberg, 10.Senna, 11.DiResta, 12.Ricciardo
A Safety Car was deployed to pick up the debris of the Maldonado impact with de la Rosa, and it closed the field up until the end of Lap3 when it dived into the pits
The Lap one order would remain the same for many laps to come but in the early stages Felipa Massa was tight on the gearbox of Fernando Alonso and looked quicker than his team-mate.
By Lap 13 the biggest gap was that between Lewis Hamilton in P3 and Alonso in P4 - three seconds. That gap would go out to as much as 4.2 seconds by Lap 17. It became clear that Alonso was biding his time because Fernando suddenly put the hammer down and started recovering 0.6 seconds a lap. It came down from 4.2 to 3.6 to 2.9 and by Lap 21 it was only 1.1 to Hamilton.
By Lap 21 the biggest gap on track was between Felipe Massa and Sebastian Vettel. Vettel had started the race on soft tyres and was clearly going to go longer than the five cars in front of him. The top five were all in touch, with only nine seconds between P1 Webber and P5 Massa on Lap 24.
Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus started to fall off the back of Vettel on Lap 21 and by Lap 22 it was clear that his tyres were going off quite quickly. Not off the cliff, but over a second a lap slower than the cars in front and behind.
As early as Lap 12 race engineers were predicting rain by about Lap 27 and so Kimi was hanging on to make sure he didn't pit for tyres and suddenly find it start raining. On Lap 25 Mercedes engineers were predicting that there might be "possible light rain in four minutes." Raikkonen stayed out.
On Lap 26 Michael Schumacher, who'd caught Raikkonen, had a look at overtaking in the run down to the Turn 14 chicane - he locked his brakes once he realised it was not going to come off. Behind him there was a train of Hulkenberg, Senna, DiResta and Ricciardo.
On Lap 28 Nico Rosberg was the first front runner to stop for tyres and he managed to exit the pits into the big gap that Raikkonen had created.
Rosberg's stop kicked off a round of pit-stops and on Lap 29 Webber, Hamilton Raikkonen and Hulkenberg came in for tyres too. This was the signal for Fernando Alonso to sprint and use up the remaining life in his Pirelli options. He'd closed to just fractions behind Hamilton before Hamilton's stop and managed to jump him in the pit-stops.
Alonso's later stop also meant that Felipe Massa had to circulate one lap longer and he was unable to get the jump on Hamilton and temporarily fell behind the yet-to-stop Michael Schumacher.Positions at the end of Lap 32
1.Vettel (not stopped) 2.Webber, 3.Rosberg, 4.Alonso, 5.Hamilton 6.Schumacher (not stopped) 7.Massa, 8.DiResta (not stopped) 9.Ricciardo (not stopped), 10.Button (not stopped).
Out in front now, Sebastian Vettel was making his harder tyres last and despite the fact that Mark Webber had newer prime tyres, Vettel was able to push harder (knowing he had to come in shortly|) and started to build the gap out from 13.0 seconds on Lap 33 to 16.2 seconds on Lap 37. By Lap 43 it was 17.4 seconds.
There had been small drops of rain falling round the circuit from Lap 37, but nothing too much to disturb the lap times. This would gradually increase in intensity through the afternoon.
On Lap 45, Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso started to run quicker than Vettel and so he came in for his pit-stop a lap later. He exited just behind Alonso and just in front of Hamilton to take P4. In fact had Lewis been 20 metres further down the road he would have relegated Sebastian to P5. The cars exited St.Devote almost side by side with Vettel emerging from the pitlane exit and just in front of Hamilton going up the hill to Rivage.
Positions at the end of Lap 51
1.Webber, 2.Rosberg, 3.Alonso, 4.Vettel, 5.Hamilton 6.Massa, 7.Schumacher, 8.Vergne, 9.DiResta, 9.Ricciardo 10.Hulkenberg, 11.Raikkonen, 12.Senna.
The cars at the front were still very tight together as Mark Webber managed his tyre wear. On Lap 55 the gap from Webber to Felipe Massa in P6 was 7.2 seconds. Unbelievably as the race went on it would get closer still.
On Lap 60 Michael Schumacher reported something wrong with his Mercedes W03, something that would turn out to be a fuel flow issue. He was being chased by Jean-Eric Vergne who had stopped as early as Lap 17 for new tyres. On Lap 62 Vergne was through to P7 and two laps later the Force Indias were past Schumacher as well - who then retired to the pits and a DNF.
DiResta had started on the yellow-walled prime tyre and had overtaken team-mate Hulkenberg in the pit-stops. Nico starting on the red-walled option tyre but had got stuck for a long time in the Raikkonen train. Raikkonen's only stop had put him back in the pack (P14 on Lap 32) and he didn't seem to have much motivation to fight after that. Both Force Indias took advantage of Jean-Eric Vergne's late race tyre stop. With his lap times falling off Vergne had to pit again and Toro Rosso took the gamble that the rain would get harder and sent him out on Inters. It eased off, though and he was left stranded in P12.
By Lap 64 of 78 harder drops of rain started to fall and being first on the road meant Mark Webber had to be very careful, the gap to Rosberg behind narrowed to 0.9, the closest it had been in the race.
Jenson Button had been following Heikki Kovalainen for most of the race and although he'd been running as high as P8, his pit-stop put him right back behind Kovalainen again. He had a hairy moment trying to overtake him going down to the tunnel chicane where he almost got squeezed into the barrier by the Finn, and later would spin his car at the exit of the Swimming Pool trying a manoeuvre that looked unlikely to come off. It was then the turn of Perez to have a bash alongside Kovalainen into Ste Devote - which didn't come off and loosened the nose of the Caterham, which pitted from P12 for a new nose and rejoined in P13.
At the front it was tightening again with just 5.7 seconds between first and sixth on Lap 67 and a mere 4.2 seconds on Lap 74. The cars were running nose to tail - at their slowest putting in 1:26 laps - then as the light rain faded, 1:24s, then 1:22s and back to 1:20s. All the time Mark Webber kept his focus while all drivers kept a close eye on their mirrors. Any mistake or false move by one of the top three cars could lose them three or four places and so they kept in line to the flag.
Once over the finish line and with the ceremonies complete the skies opened, which would really have given us a spectacular finish to the race. As it was it was nerve-wrackingly processional. Red Bull won their third Monaco GP in a row with the drivers' title closer than ever.
Webber, Rosberg, Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Massa - had been the position for the last 32 laps of the race. Paul Di Resta took home 7th with Hulkenberg 8th, Raikkonen 9th and Bruno Senna in 10th.
Sergio Perez had an action packed race of missing chicanes, bumping Caterhams, impeding Raikkonen on his pit-stop and getting a drive-through for his troubles, yet still coming home in P11. The race wasn't quite so exciting.

Match report
Scroll to photostream above left for match photos. For stats, click on the statistics tab. Match reaction below.
An injury-time goal by Clint Dempsey thwarted Manchester United's hopes of maintaining their seven-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League. United were a minute away from winning through Robin van Persie's first-half header in the snow at White Hart Lane when the United States forward was found in the area by Aaron Lennon in the 93rd minute and he slotted home. That meant United's lead over Manchester City at the top of the table before the weekend was cut to five points.
The match survived a late pitch inspection and in the opening ten minutes it was Spurs who were on top, although David de Gea remained untested. Scott Parker raided the United midfield to win the ball and drive at goal but he could only curl over the bar. At the other end, Van Persie peeled off his marker and met Phil Jones' cross at the back post but Hugo Lloris saved the Dutchman's header with ease.
Lennon flew up the other end and drove low at De Gea, who palmed it into Defoe's path, but the England striker was ruled offside.
United took the lead in clinical fashion on 25 minutes. On the counter-attack the ball was switched from left to right by Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley's precise cross to the far post was headed in by Van Persie. It was the Dutchman's sixth goal in the Barclays Premier League against Spurs and his 18th of the season.
Defoe shot tested De Gea but the closest that Spurs came to a first-half equaliser was when the United goalkeeper saved Bale's deflected shot with his right leg. The same limb came to United's rescue early in the second half too when Dempsey was played through the middle of the area but his weak shot was deflected behind by the Spaniard.
Spurs cranked up the pressure as they went in search of a goal and the United goalkeeper was forced into more conventional action by pushing Dempsey's shot from an angle into the side-netting midway through the second half.
Wayne Rooney came on for Welbeck after 60 minutes and his first action was to see claims for a penalty rejected by referee Chris Foy. It was a brief respite for United as they started to sit deeper and deeper.
Rio Ferdinand blocked Defoe just as he seemed certain to score in the 78th minute and when the Spurs striker did get a shot away two minutes later it was straight at De Gea. With two minutes remaining Ferdinand deflected a fierce shot from Bale just past De Gea's near post with the goalkeeper a spectator.
The United defence of Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand looked as if they would hold firm, but Lennon got the ball after a cross was not cleared and found Dempsey to stroke home.
Spurs remain fourth on 41 points but dropped four points behind Chelsea in third after the West London side beat Arsenal 2-1 earlier in the day.
Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-Boas: "We dominated the whole game, played well and deserved to win to be fair. We had 60 per cent possession against United, 15 shots against four and should have won. Champions like United have to go through moments like this but I think we deserved this last-minute goal.
"We set our targets high, we wanted to win. We understood you are not going to go two or three up but we managed to get at least a point and a deserved point.
"It was probably the worst United game in terms of opportunities, with them having only four. It is a pity we couldn't win but I'm extremely happy with the draw obviously."
"It is very tight between [Manchester City and Manchester United. They are two strong teams with top quality squads and individuals. I think it is for either of the Manchester teams as the distance to third place is quite important. I'm not sure [who will win the league] but United have the experience that can help them."
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "We had the opportunity to kill them off on the counter-attack but our final ball let us down."We worked really hard, as did Tottenham. It was a really difficult, gruelling game but we dealt with everything they did.
"They kept pumping that ball in the box and we kept heading it out. Unfortunately we didn't get that last one that really mattered, the last kick of the game. It's not an easy place to come to. They are a very aggressive, committed team.
"We have been to all the top teams' grounds so far. We just have Arsenal left and we think we can be pleased with the outcome of them all. We have got a healthy points total from them and it's another game out of the road. I wanted the game to go ahead today because we don't want a backlog and as it was, it proved I was right."

KLM Steelers: Continuing The Legacy
Coach William Mack Jr. is continuing the legacy of his father Coach William Mack Sr. who has been the commissioner of the KLM Steelers for the past 24 years.
The Steelers have been an historically successful program in the Kettering, Largo and Mitchelville area of PG County. Coach Mack Sr. has been a Coach, Teacher, Father, big brother and Mentor to so many young men in our community that the true magnitude of his time and sacrifices can not be measured.
The Steelers were unanimously voted into the GMYFL for the 2013 season not only because of there rich history but the great leadership that William Mac Jr. and Sam Durant (pictured above) have shown guiding them to there next chapter of success. The Steelers have won so many championships but the apex of there program is not just about X's and O's but more about touching the lives of the young men and women in there community. "It takes a village to raise a child," is such an overused cliché but the KLM Steelers are great examples of what the village should look and feel like and the GMYFL and the surrounding communities should take the time and recognize true great leadership in it's prime while we can.
The KLM steelers started the 2013 season off on a great note having all but one of there teams UNDEFEATED by week three of the season and was giving the title by the Youthfootballnetwork.com of being the team to beat in the NFC division. All but one of the Steelers team made the playoffs and they finished there interim season in the GMYFL as the 2013 NFC 6U Championships.

River Bann
The River Bann (Irish: an Bhanna, likely from an bhan-abha, meaning "the white river"[1]) is the longest river in Ulster, its length, Upper and Lower Bann combined, being 129 km (80ml). However, the total length of the River Bann, including its path through the 30 km (19ml) long Lough Neagh is 159 km (99ml). Another length of the River Bann given is 90ml.[2] The river winds its way from the southeast corner of Northern Ireland[3] to the northwest coast,[4] pausing in the middle to widen into the enormous Lough Neagh. The River Bann catchment has an area of 5,775 km2.[5] The River Bann has a mean discharge rate of 92 m3/s.[6] According to C.Michael Hogan, the Bann River Valley is a settlement area for some of the first human arrivals in Ireland after the most recent glacial retreat.[7] The river has played an important part in the industrialisation of the north of Ireland, especially in the linen industry. Today salmon and eel fisheries are the most important economic features of the river. The river is often used as a dividing line between the eastern and western areas of Northern Ireland, often labelled the "Bann divide".[citation needed] Towns, councils and businesses "west of the Bann" are often seen as having less investment and government spending than those to the east.[8] It is also seen as a religious, economic and political divide, with Catholics and Irish nationalists being in the majority to the west, and Ulster Protestants and unionists in the majority to the east; and with the financial and industrial capital of Greater Belfast to the east with the west of the Bann being more agricultural and rural.[9][10]
The Lough Neagh catchment drains 43%[11] of the land mass of Northern Ireland, as well as some border areas in the Republic of Ireland, all in Ulster. The Rivers Agency manages the water level in the lough using a barrage at Toome. The current drainage scheme was engineered by Major Percy Shepherd and was enabled by the Lough Neagh and Lower Bann Drainage and Navigation Act (Northern Ireland) 1955.[12] The levels are regulated between 12.45 metres to 12.6 metres above Ordnance Datum, as defined in the Lough Neagh (Levels) Scheme 1955 (as amended).[13]
Upper Bann[edit]
The Upper Bann rises in the Mourne Mountains in County Down and flows 64.4 km (40ml)[14] into Lough Neagh at Bannfoot, County Armagh. This stretch is one of the most popular coarse fishing rivers in Europe. Near Portadown it connects with the now disused Newry Canal, which once gave access south to the Irish Sea.
Lower Bann[edit]
The Lower Bann flows from Lough Neagh at Toome to the Atlantic Ocean at Portstewart. The river is 64.4 km (40ml)[15] long and is a canalised waterway with five navigation locks at Toome, Portna, Movanagher, Carnroe and Castleroe. The river is very popular with water sports enthusiasts, anglers and cruisers and has minimal commercial traffic. It acts as most of the border between County Antrim and County Londonderry. The only commercial port on the river is at Coleraine. Ships from Londonderry Port and the Port of Belfast transfer coal and scrap metal.
The water level on the Lower Bann is controlled by Rivers Agency using gates situated at Portna (near Kilrea) and The Cutts at Coleraine.[16]

The Tygarts Valley Line, June-July 1861 by Eva Margaret Carnes (1961--Third Printing 2003, Barbour County Historical Society, paperback, 112 pages, ISBN: 0-87012-703-9) is a useful little booklet written during the Centennial period. On one level, it's a short military history of the June 3, 1861 Battle of Philippi and the skirmishes in the Tygarts River valley during the second week of July; but, through a number of interesting vignettes, the book also paints a nice portrait of the valley's conflicted populace and of individual citizens rarely mentioned in later histories.
Carnes writes perhaps the most detailed and nuanced view I've come across of Confederate Colonel George A. Porterfield and his actions. On the Union side, she writes in admiration of Benjamin Kelley while passing harsh judgement upon George McClellan and Robert Milroy. However, Carnes is certainly no Lost Cause advocate either as she aims perhaps her most strident criticisms at Robert E. Lee for his apparent ignorance of and lack of concern for the region and its inhabitants and also for not following through on written promises of reinforcements, arms, and supplies. Her points are well taken but, given the situation the Confederates were in in May of 1861, it's difficult to imagine alternative results given the resources the Union army was pouring into their effort in western Virginia.

Mariza is a Mozambican whose soul was forged in the old Mouraria district of Lisbon - and it was there that she first heard fado singers.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

|3# tinned sausage stuffer
|Posted By: Robert
|Location: Elmhurst, IL United States
This stuffer is poorly built. The retaining ring comes off the threads while stuffing, letting the sausage spill all over. It takes a LOT of pressure to stuff sausage--usually requiring two people to operate and stuff. A waste of money--don't buy this stuffer!

It is a poorly designed stuffer. Meat won't stay in front of plunger. Worst device I have ever purchased. I woudn't recomend it to anyone!!

I have the Sausage Cast Iron. Only problem is the rubber gasket has a lettle hole in it and it will leak when you start stuffing tubes. Where can I find one.

|3 lb sausage stuffer
|Posted By: Aaron
|Location: Savage, MN United States
I agree with the other reviews. I've used this for two years and will not use it next year. There is 'leakage' around the plunger, over 1/2 is not pushed through the stuffer tube. It takes a ton of effort to plunge making it very difficult to use.

Fairly easy to stuff larger sausages...does not do smaller snack stick sized sausages without a lot of effort and mess

|Sausage stuffer
|Posted By: Ernie Nickell
|Location: Middletown, OH United States
Extremely disappointed in this suffer. Plunger leaks very bad around the seal regardless of any tube you use. A 2 person operation is a must. Depressing the handle down is a laborious task that takes lots of strength and is uncomfortable to the hand after a few minutes of use. This product need to be removed from your inventory and it has been a waste of my money. Sorry I ever purchased it. Note from LEM Products: For ease of use we highly suggest a geared stuffer. The 606 5lb. vertical stuffer a great option. It has metal gears and is much more user friendly.

|Great Peice of Equptment
|Posted By: Patrick
|Location: Lost Creek, KY United States
We got ours as a refurb. and folks its way beyond what we had thought as far as Heavy Duty, this is it!! We used it for some Venison so its fit the bill, if you need one for use once twice a year, this is it. Point of Fact, no reason you could not use this machine everyday. Heavy Cast Iron and a tin plate should last your grandchild into retirement. Stellar machine built to last a hundred years.

|Used for years
|Posted By: Chuck
|Location: Oakdale, IL United States
I have used this for several years. Just now getting around to looking at the Reviews. I have had no problems with mine. It's a little hard to use by yourself so get help. It would be nice to get a bigger Gear Driven unit, but the price was right. If I get into more sausage making that might be an option. I have made several hundred # of Sausage and never had any of the problems I have seen here. Great Product. Just bought a new LEM #32 Meat Grinder and can't wait to try it out.

During normal business hours Lake Washington Institute of Technology will be open to faculty, staff, students, parents, contractors, guests and invitees. During non-business hours LWTech facilities are locked; access is restricted to authorized students and employees through Campus Safety and Security or other on-duty College staff. During an extended closure, only authorized personnel will be granted access to Campus property and facilities. Campus Security Officers carry keys to all LWTech Buildings and are available during business hours to access buildings and rooms for authorized entry. Remember: Service calls such as this are prioritized; criminal or medical emergency calls have a higher priority than do building and/or room access calls.
Campus facilities may have different hours of accessibility; in such cases, these areas will be secured and accessed by appropriate persons in accordance with operating schedules as developed by the Department responsible for that facility.
Emergencies may necessitate changes and/or alterations from normal business hour access times; security assessments of campus facilities will be conducted, as needed. Administrators from Student Services, College Services, Facilities and Campus Safety and Security will periodically review results of landscaping, lock, alarm, lighting, and communication assessments to determine appropriateness of access schedules and alter schedules, as needed.

Last time in this Minneapolis series, we strolled through Northeast Minneapolis, stopping for a sausage at a great Polish deli, had a fabulous lunch at Masa downtown then made our way through Loring Park, stopping to ogle at the dandelion fountain and the birds.
Right across the Friendship Bridge from Loring Park is the Sculpture Garden, part of the Walker Art Museum complex.
If you missed my blog on the Walker Art Museum last year, then you don't know how hard I fell for it. It's an amazing museum with intriguing and moving exhibits, and you MUST visit it. When I did last year, it was nighttime, so touring the Sculpture Garden too wasn't ideal. Thus I made sure to make it a priority this time, especially with all the recommendations for it I got from friends and Twitter tweeps.
They weren't wrong. The Sculpture Garden is a playground for photographers, and now we'll walk through some of my favorite shots. We will enter from the southern end and walk mostly in a clockwise direction. Less commentary, more pretty!
Can you find me in that last picture? Find the photographer is always a fun game!by

Testimonial: I felt the warmth of the room as I entered the yoga studio. Along the perimeter, candles glowed in the dim light and there was a relaxing, hush in the room. From the foot reflexology to the head massage, to the essential oils and the chilled lavender eye pillow, I never expected this but after taking this workshop, I realized that I totally deserved it. This was a truly sensory experience. The yoga positions restored and balanced my body, my mind and ego relaxed, music drifted in the background and I was able to check out. Eileen and her team are professional, highly trained and generous of spirit. Treat your mind, body and soul at a Yoga Restorative Oasis Workshop. Elaine

KATV Stays on Top in Ratings
by Kate Knable
Posted 4/9/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Nielsen Media Research's February TV household ratings for Little Rock stations didn't reveal drastic changes over the 2011 ratings book of the same period.
KATV-TV, Channel 7, remained the top station in the market, again beating the other stations' household ratings with its 6 a.m. newscast as well as with its 5, 6 and 10 p.m. news shows.
(Click here to view a chart of the February ratings.)
While keeping its lead, KATV had rating decreases at the two evening time slots. The ABC affiliate's 5 p.m. show saw a rating drop of 2.2 points, its only household rating decrease greater than 1 point.
Each rating point represents 1 percent of the 571,630 households in the market.
"We did see a drop," KATV News Director Nick Genty said of the 5 p.m. show. "That did concern us. Some of that may be a fallout of Oprah leaving us. But if you look across the board, everybody had losses."
KATV also won the top spot at 10 p.m., beating out last year's winner, KTHV-TV, Channel 11, by 0.9 rating points.
KTHV, a CBS affiliate, won the 5 a.m. news slot, as it did in 2011.

Heritage: For generations, Lemongrass, native to Southeast Asia, has been in purification rituals and to promote psychic awareness. Steam-distilled Madagascar Lemongrass has a strong history of medicinal use in Cuban, Indian and Brazilian folk medicine. Indigenous Australian's have used the oil extracted from the Tea Tree's needles for its remarkable natural anti-bacterial and healing properties.
Tea Tree Oil's remarkable anti-bacterial and healing properties are combined with the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of Lemongrass and Shea Butter in this energizing soap to help clear oily and troubled skin. This refreshingly deodorant soap, with Orange Oil to support tissue regeneration, moisturizes treats and tones skin. In addition to their topical healing properties, these exotic essential oils are revered for their outstanding aromatherapeutic values.
Humble Beginnings
In 1992, fresh out of college without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a personal mission to produce high quality bath and body product utilizing all-natural ingredients and ancient healing philosophies from around the globe. Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of these lifelong friends, turned New York Street Vendors, who simply grew frustrated with the inferior quality, high chemical content, poor selection and exorbitant prices of skin care products. Today Nubian Heritage has hundreds of all-natural and organic products and although they are no longer made in bath tubs or kitchen sinks, little else has changed. They are still obsessed with Fair Trade ingredients, Ancient Healing Philosophies, Community Commerce and Culturally Authentic Products.
Other Ingredients
100% Vegetable Soap: butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), coconut oil and/or palm oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, lemongrass oil, tea tree oil, vegetable glycerin, orange peel, tocopherol (vitamin E), orange oil, mineral pigment or vegetable color.

Disney's first foray into Saturday morning was The Gummi Bears, a half-hour adventure series about a charming sextet of anthropomorphic, medieval bears. In a unique move for the time, the cartoon was based not on a comic strip, plush doll, or series of greeting cards, but rather a candy. The resulting show, however, bore little resemblance to candymaker Heide's chewy, fruity confection.
The premise had six Gummi Bears protecting Princess Calla and her boy-page Cavin in the Kingdom of Dunwyn. The bears got their power from Gummiberry Juice- made by Grammi Gummi- which gave them the ability to bounce like no bear had ever bounced before. The potion came in handy in defeating the assembled ogres and other nasties who opposed the Gummis in every weekly episode. No bears were eaten during the making of this cartoon.
In the fall of 1989, the Gummi Bears joined everyone's favorite non-edible bear, Winnie the Pooh, in Disney's Gummi Bear/Winnie the Pooh Hour. The new arrangement lasted one season before the Gummis were again reassigned, this time to the Disney Afternoon block. One year later, the show found a longer-lasting home on cable's Disney Channel.
Rocky and Bullwinkle's June Foray and Bill Scott voiced characters on this show, as did Garfield and Friend's Lorenzo Music and Married...With Children's David Faustino, who played one of the four Cavins.

Facebook's recent change to their Terms of Service has created a firestorm across the web. The old terms of service said that Facebook could do anything they wanted with your content (subject to your privacy settings) but if you deleted your account all their rights would expire. Now, it seems their rights continue, even after your account is deleted. Are they evil? Or just cautious? Let me know where you stand on this issue by posting a comment at my BarbaraFeldman.com blog .

Ahhhhh!!! What was that? Oh, it was just us watching some our favorite/least favorite scary scenes.
This and other projects indicate that the resuscitated studio might actually be making some interesting choices.
Plus: They've found the perfect director for 'Voltron'! It's some dude who directed 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'!
Plus: Yet another bastard joins 'Inglorious Bastards,' and James McAvoy to play a CGI gnome in most horrible movie ever.
