Chapter 17: Was the love a lie?
"What? No you're not." I said without thinking. He narrowed his eyes. "What?" He asked.
"I mean….you can't." I said.
"I have this great gig there and there is this guy there that wants to sign me. I've been waiting for this for the longest."
"You're leaving? You can't leave, Logan! Please stay!" I said. Tears immediately poured out of my eyes. "I'm sorry, Beth." He said and ran across my cheek.
"No you're not! If you were you wouldn't be leaving! You don't love me!" I understand I was getting dramatic but I was angry and I could already feel the emptiness in my chest.
"I do love you! But I need this. Would you give up your dream for me?"
"Yes! I would!" I screamed. I got off of his bed and turned to his window so he couldn't see my tears. I was breathing hard and I closed my eyes. His hand was on my shoulder. "I love you, Beth. You should know that but I've been waiting to get to this place for so damn long."
"I understand what you want, Logan. I just didn't think that your relationship with your dream was more important than your relationship with me."
"I'm sorry."
"Stop saying that! Because you're not!" I took his hand off my shoulder and opened his door and then shut it closed. I heard the door open again as I ran down the stairs. "What's wrong?" Alicia asked as I walked pass her out the door.
"Beth!" Lance called. I began walking out onto the sidewalk. He grabbed my arm and made me look at him. "I don't want you pissed."
"How the hell do you expect me to act?" I asked. Alicia came beside us.
"I have to do this, baby. I have to." His green eyes were watering.
"I'm pregnant, Logan." I finally said. His eyes widened and he slowly let go of my arms. He kept opening and closing his mouth as if he didn't know what to say.
"Go live your dream while I stay here and raise your child." I said and then turned around without another word. Alicia quickly followed me.
As we walked to her house, we didn't say anything to each other. I fell for an idiot. Okay, Logan isn't an idiot but I wish he would change his mind.
"Isn't that Lance's car?" Alicia asked as we walked up to the drugstore. I looked over at Lance's white Chrysler 300. "Yeah, it is."
"Ask him for a ride." Alicia said buttoning up her jean jacket.
"Why me?" I asked.
"He likes you. Just ask him."
"No. Let's just get your shit and leave." I said. Alicia gave me a look. "I know you're pissed because of Logan but don't take it out on me. Remember what I told you, the one thing about having a sex life is.."
"I have to be able to control it. I know. I guess it is my fault. Can we get your stuff now?"
"Yes. I'm sorry. Let's go." We walked up and Alicia opened the door. Lance was right there. He smiled at us but then frowned when he looked at me. "What's wrong? Your eyes are puffy." He said.
"I'll let you two talk. I'll be in and out of the store." Alicia said as she walked all the way in. Lance grabbed my hand and brought me to his car. He opened the car door for me and then I got in the passenger side.
He got in the driver side and turned to me. "Tell me what happened, Beth." He said. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as another tear slowly slipped down my cheek. "Logan is moving," I whispered. "To California. And I'm….I'm pregnant." I buried my face in my hands and cried. I felt Lance's hand on my shoulder and then he just pulled me into his arms. "Shhh. It'll be fine. I promise." He whispered.
"It won't fine! This is his baby and he's leaving! It won't be fine, Lance!" I cried into his black shirt. Lance rubbed his fingers through my hair. I don't know why he was doing this. I've been mean to him lately and in return, he's soothing me.
"Lance, I'm sorry I've been such a bitch to you." I said. He let out a throaty laugh. "It's okay Beth. I deserved it." He said. I heard the back car door open and could smell Alicia's perfume. "Ready?" Lance asked. She nodded.
"Where am I taking you two?"
"Andy's house. He just texted me that he's home." She said.
"Okay." Lance said as he started the car. He drove over to Andy's house. Andy was sitting on the porch drinking a beer and talking to an older woman. She looked just like him. Had to have been his mom.
"I love that old bitch." Alicia said. I turned and looked at her.
"She lets me call her that. We have a surprisingly well relationship." She opened the door and closed it as she got out.
Lance grabbed my hand and I looked at him. "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded and smiled a little. "I just don't know what I'm going to do about this baby if its dad isn't there."
"My mother raised me and my brother without us having a father. She knew it'd be easier with someone there to help her but she said raising me and him alone made her stronger. Now she's married to this guy named Mick who owns a bar. He's pretty cool."
"What makes him so cool?" I asked.
"He lets me get drinks for free." He said smiling. I smiled along with him. Lance suddenly reached over and wiped a slowly trailing tear away with his index finger. "You're too damn beautiful to cry, Beth." He whispered. I bit my lip and stared at him.
"Don't try to be the good guy right now, please. I'm not in the mood." I said. Lance chuckled. "Fine. I'll be the me I want to be and I'll flirt with you."
"Okay don't be you either." I said. He smiled and then leaned his head back and sighed. "You'll get through this, Beth. I know because I'll be there for you."
"Thank you, Lance." He smiled and kissed me on my cheek. He pulled away and looked into my eyes. I slowly turned and got out of the car.
I walked up to Andy, his mother and Alicia who were all drinking beer and talking. His mom looked at me and smiled. "Hi, honey. You're Beth, right?" She asked. I nodded and put on a fake smile.
"Nice to meet you, hon. My name is Angela. I'm Andy's mother and Alicia's mother-in-law soon, I hope." She said playfully pushing Alicia.
Alicia smiled. "Don't look at me, look at your son."
"Once my good looks fade, then I'll get you a ring." Andy said looking at Alicia who was on the step above the one he was on. She smiled and pressed her lips against his.
I sat on the step below Angela.
"Beer, hon?" She asked. I looked up at her. "You actually approve of teens drinking beer in front of you?" I asked. She shrugged. "This is 2012. Teens will be teens."
I was tempted but then stopped when I realized I was carrying life inside of me. "I can't. I'm pregnant." I admitted. Angela smiled. "Congrats, sweetie. Know the dad?" She asked.
"Yes but he's a scummy asshole." Alicia said. Andy looked confused. "You're prego, Beth?" He asked. I nodded and he smiled. "Nice."
Alicia hit Andy on the side of his head. "It's not nice! Logan isn't going to help her raise it."
"What? Why the hell not?" Andy asked.
"He's moving to California. A guy wants to sign him there." I said mechanically. Angela placed her hand on my shoulder.
"God, I'm sorry, Beth." Andy said placing a comforting hand on my knee.
"I wish you would try to leave Alicia when she's pregnant. I'll kill you, boy." Angela said glaring at Andy.
"Come on, ma. You know me. I won't do that to Alicia." He said.
"Better not." Alicia and Angela said in unison. I smiled at their close relationship.
"So when is Logan leaving?" Alicia asked. I shrugged. "It doesn't matter. The relevant thing is that he's leaving."
"He didn't say when he's coming back? What am I going to do about the band?" Andy asked.
"You'll find a new band, Andy." Alicia said. He sighed and leaned back against her knee. "Fuck." He whispered.
"So this guy leaving is impacting you all?" Angela asked.
"Not me." Alicia said.
"It's impacting everyone except you. It'll be impacting Lance. He'll be happy as hell. I heard he wanted to start a new band."
"Really?" I asked. He nodded. "I don't blame him. See, we were the perfect band. Logan had the voice. I have the looks and Lance had the brains. And now we're all breaking up."
"Why don't you start your own band?" Alicia asked. Andy scoffed. "With who?" He asked. Alicia glanced at me and I shook my head. "Beth has an outstanding voice." She offered. Andy almost chokes on his beer and looks at me. "She's right. You do! Let's start a band, Beth."
"Andy…..I'm in high school."
"So was I when I started being in bands. It will be amazing. Please…Beth."
"I'm not that good of a singer." I said shrugging. Andy and Alicia gave me a look like they wanted to slap me. "You're kidding me. Come on. Me, you, and Lance. You'll be lead. Lance will be guitar and I'll be drums.
"I'll be bass." Alicia offered. "Since when do you play bass?" Andy asked.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me, baby."
Andy smiled at Alicia and then looked to me. "Please. At least think about it, Beth." Andy said. I sighed. "Fine. I'll think about it."
A red car suddenly pulled up and Logan got out of the car. "Oh what is that asshole doing here?" Alicia asked. I sighed. "It's okay. I'll be back." I got up and walked to Logan. He stopped a couple of steps from me. "Want to go for a ride?" he asked.
I hesitated but then nodded. He went to the driver side and I got into the passenger side. He drove off. We were silent the car ride to the park we walked to the night he took my virginity.
He stopped the car and looked at me. "I'm leaving tonight." He whispered. I nodded. "Have fun."
"I don't want you pissed at me."
"It's just hard to believe that even after I told you that I'm pregnant with your child that you still want to leave. That's not the Logan I thought you were."
"Well you never knew the real me, Beth. It's all been a lie. I drink. I like it and I can't just stop and be your perfect boyfriend. I'm sorry."
"You are seriously a prick." I said. He sighed and looked out of the windshield. "I like Alicia." He whispered. I looked at him and my eyebrows pulled together. A bunch of emotions filled my body. "What the fuck did you just say?" I asked. He slowly looked to me. "I like your best friend." He said again. I nodded. "That's what I thought you said. You never loved me." I got out of the car and opened it and slammed it shut and the passenger window broke. "Cheap ass piece of shit." I said as I spit on the wind shield. Logan got out of the car.
"I'm sorry, okay? I feel like shit for telling you like this but this is the truth."
"So every time you and I were having sex, you were thinking of her?" I asked. He didn't answer.
"Well look like this is a great time for you to move because we're done! You hear me? We're fucking done! I'm not shedding not one more goddamn tear for your sorry ass!" I yelled as I began walking away from him. He grabbed my arm and I began hitting him. "Let go of me."
"I just…. I want you to know I never meant to hurt you."
"Eat shit." I said as I snatched my arm from him and stomped out of the park.

30th Day
Around 3100 BC, a unified kingdom was founded by King Menes. Since then, Egypt had been ruled by a series of dynasties for about 3000 years until the last ruler Cleopatra VII, who was committed suicide after the defeat in the battle against Rome in 30 BC. Rome took control of Egypt and annexed it. After the Emperor Constantine I transferred its capital to Byzantium (Constantinople) on the Bosphorus, Egypt played an important role to support the Byzantine Empire with its abundant grain production. The Islamic Empire conquered Egypt in 639 AD, and it ruled Egypt until the Ottoman Turks conquered Egypt in 1517. The French invasion of Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 and the expulsion of the French by Ottoman in 1801 led Egypt into chaos. In 1805, Muhammad Ali, the commander of Albanian regiment, took the power and established a dynasty to rule Egypt, modernizing its economy and military. But the rapid modernization led to the intervention of European powers and eventually the economic subordination to them. Suez Canal, built in partnership with France, was completed in 1869, but Egypt owed an enormous debt to European banks, which allowed the British and the French to dominate Egyptian government. Crushing the anti-British movement known as Orabi Revolution in 1882, Britain occupied Egypt. Britain placed Egypt under the protectorate in 1914 when Britain fought the war against Ottoman Empire, detaching Egypt from Ottoman Empire. The nationalist movements against Britain and for independence became much fiercer after the war, leading Britain to declare Egypts independence in 1923. In 1952, a military coup occurred against the background of the blistering discontent over the Egyptian monarchy seen as corrupted and pro-British, which led to the establishment of Egyptian Republic in 1953. Now, Egypt has one of the most developed and diversified economies in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry and service.
At five in the morning, a pilot boarded our ship. The ship started moving into the canal with the authorization from the Suez Canal Authority, as the sun was rising on the right side of the ship.
The Suez Canal has one shipping lane with passing areas in Ballah-Bypass and in the Great Bitter Lake, where the ships in a convoy from the Mediterranean Sea wait for the passage of the ships in a convoy from the Red Sea.
*DMC-ZS10/TZ20 records images in max.14-megapixel and DMC-ZS7/TZ10 in max.12-megapixel.
The Suez Canal was very calm. Our ship sailed northbound at a speed of about 15 to 20km/h. As our ship usually sailed at around 30km/h on the sea, the sailing speed was far slower in the Canal. But I felt it sailed faster than usual because the lands on the both sides of the Canal made me clearly realize that the ship was moving forward. I saw several bridges through the transit, but considering that the Canal is 160km long, the bridges were few in number.
The bank of the Suez Canal on the side of African Continent was rich in greenery due to the irrigation channel coming from the Nile River, and many modern buildings were constructed. The opposite side of the Canal, however, was a stretch of desert. I thought this scenery symbolized the meaning "the Nile River is Mother of Egypt".

Federal Transit Administrator lauds Denver for Collaboration, Innovation
Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff visited the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce to highlight the area's successes in transit infrastructure projects. Denver's Regional Transportation District (RTD) will receive a $1 billion federal grant for the FasTracks transit project that will result in 120 additional miles of rail throughout Denver. The Chamber was one of the first supporters of the project and helped demonstrate the positive outcomes that result when strong public /private partnerships are formed.
Kelly Brough, President and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce discusses a recent roundtable event with Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff:
On Sept. 1, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce hosted Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff on the heels of the announcement that Denver's Regional Transportation District (RTD) will receive a $1 billion grant for the FasTracks transit project.
We were heartened by a number of Administrator Rogoff's comments during a roundtable discussion, including that our city is a leading model not only with our collaborative successes, but with our private sector's support of valuable public projects.
"The reason greater Denver has been so successful is the communities working together," he told a group of 25 business leaders. "This region has largely showed it has its act together."
The grant money, in the form of a full-funding grant agreement, will help pay for the Eagle line of FasTracks rail, expected to cost $2 billion. That segment includes the construction of a rail line from downtown Denver to Denver International Airport (DIA), a line to Arvada and Wheat Ridge and a portion of the Northwest line to West 71st Avenue and Lowell Boulevard, as well as the construction of a maintenance facility.
The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce was among the first supporters of the FasTracks project, which at build-out will include 120 miles of rail throughout metro Denver.
Transportation is one of three key pillars of focus – along with education and health care – that the Chamber points to as integral to a healthy and thriving economy. It has been since our earliest days when the Chamber's predecessor, the Denver Board of Trade, committed $100,000 in 1865 to bring a railroad spur from Cheyenne, Wyo., to our city.
Our efforts have not been solely focused on rail. The Denver Metro Chamber has played an integral part in securing funding for highway infrastructure maintenance. In 2007, we conducted a study that showed the economic impact of doing nothing to improve the mountain corridor of Interstate-70 amounts to $1 billion annually and, in 2009, we helped craft and pass legislation, known as the FASTER bill, which is a fee to support the maintenance of poor and failing bridges and roads across the state.
The Chamber has also served as an active partner in the development and expansion of our international hub, Denver International Airport. Much like our efforts on FasTracks, the Chamber was an early proponent of construction of the airport. Not only does the airport contribute approximately $22.3 billion to the state each year, but it is a showcase gateway for Denver and Colorado.
Our members know the business community must take an active role in educating themselves and others about the size and scope of the state's transportation needs, as well as the options to address those issues.
Participants in the meeting included members of the Chamber's Transportation Committee, which is a forum for discussion and action related to statewide, multi-modal transportation policy with an emphasis on funding.
The FasTracks project is not just one step toward a solution to our state's transportation needs; it is an economic driver. Together with a number of our 70 economic development partners and our regional community, we continue to push this project ahead, because it will create jobs not only through its construction, but by helping to attract companies looking to locate in cities with multi-modal options.
We look forward to future conversations with Administrator Rogoff, and we are thankful to him and the Federal Transit Administration for recognizing the value of this project in our city and our state.

First ported Android 4.4 KitKat ROMs are already available for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013)
The ROM was ported by the critically acclaimed team behind the ParanoidAndroid custom ROM, and it really is as close to stock as it gets. Do keep in mind that it doesn't include in it things like the new Google Experience Launcher, so you'll have to sideload that one, including the Google Apps package. Of course, that is if you're actually willing to take on this risk, seeing as the Nexus line is usually pretty fast to get the next updates. Oh well, some people just ain't good with patience, so to you we say to tread carefully – if you mess up your devices, you'll be the only one to blame. You've been warned.
You can download ParanoidAndroid's Android 4.4 KitKat port for the Nexus 4 here, and for the Wi-Fi only Nexus 7 (2013) here. You'll be needing them Google apps, these are downloadable from here. Happy flashing y'all!

Using it on my Nexus 4 now. Lags quite a bit, but that's not surprising for an early build. Other than that, seems fine to me. Only crash i've experienced so far is with Nova Launcher.

I am using it right now, it's pretty good for an early build, and everything seems to work fine, but there are still some bug & frame drops, also the calender app keeps crashing from time to time so I had to disabled it.

Kimberly, known fondly as Kimi, has been a dancer all of her life. Starting at The Toledo Ballet & Hanf Studio as a toddler and continuing on to a professional dance group throughout her childhood and teen years, she actively pursued ballet, tap, jazz, and technique. With a minor in fine arts/dance from The Ohio University, Kimberly went on to dance on The Toledo Ice Dance Team after college and helped coach dance teams in the Toledo area. Kimi's love for expression through movement gravitated her to Pilates (Pilates Method Alliance CPT), Beyond Barre (New York Sports Club) and Power Yoga (Power Yoga Chicago).
As the Co-Owner of TONIC Maumee, Kimi can be found leading a barre, yoga or Pilates class or organizing fun, motivational workshops and events to utilize the gorgeous studio. TONIC studio radiates energy and light and was created in partnership with her mother-in-law Deborah Chapman. The health conscious pair built Tonic as a labor of love based on true intentions to help people live healthier lives. TONIC is her Mecca. TONIC has won the American Institute of Architecture award for excellence.
As a LOVEr of life, she'll try anything once – like doing Crow Pose on top of a horse at Wunderlust in Vermont or hosting a Yoga Rave on a Friday night.
In her down time, you can find Kimi planning her next fun travel adventure with her Husband Brian or enjoying a giggling sessions with her three boys during her morning juicing (she's a wreck without kale). Watching her boys grow, teaching them love and the meaning of life is what calls to her.
Kimi has been honored as a Hometown Hero twice by the Toledo City Paper. Friends, family and connecting with others is at the root of who Kimi is and how she shows up for her community.

About this book
Do you really think Martha Stewart never swept a little dust under the carpet seconds before guests arrived? Oh, how we've been damaged by the myth of perfectionism! We are slaves to microscopic specks of lint, hard-water smudges, and the relentless pursuit of dust bunnies. Brainwashed by Hollywood and slick photo spreads, we chase after unrealistic expectations. How to Cheat at Cleaning will change all of that. Part how-to bible and part liberating manifesto, this volume rewrites the housekeeping rules our mothers taught us. It does for housekeeping what Casual Friday did for office life. Learn the extreme shortcuts for cleaning your house from attic to basement. Learn about cutting-edge tools and technologies that will slash your housekeeping chores in half. Learn how to get family members–and even Santa Claus–to pitch in. And learn which backbreaking cleaning tasks you can walk away from forever. While most cleaning books are as dull as, well, dishwater, How to Cheat at Cleaning is a joy to read. Delivered in a swingy, conversational, irreverent style, this book is peppered with quick-read recurring boxes, including amusing anecdotes, easy cleaning formulas, great cleaning gear, cleaning emergencies, and eliminating dirt through design.

To maximise our blending options, all batches of Old Bush Vine Grenache are crushed as separate parcels, to either 6 tonne static pumpover fermenters or 8 tonne open top stainless steel fermenters, which utilise the Yalumba designed cap plunger for cap management. The majority of batches are fully destemmed, however for some batches we do not destem at all, preferring to leave the stems on to help contribute another flavour dimension. The natural or 'wild' yeasts present on the grape skins are then allowed to initiate the sugar fermentation - this may happen within the first 12 hours or so, or it may take up to 2 - 3 days. When the fermentation has progressed about halfway, cultured winery yeasts are then added to ensure completion of this fermentation. Particular batches are then selected to remain on skins post-fermentation which could be up to 2 - 3 months. This then contributes wines with even greater complexity and individuality. After draining and pressing off skins all batches are racked to barrel for maturation.
This wine has a very expressive aroma full with layers of lush plum, blueberry coulis, currant confiture and mulled cherry notes.
The palate is medium to full weighted Grenache that shows a fleshy core of steeped red berry fruit notes that weave through to a juicy mouth-watering finish. With ample tannins, all polished and embedded in the fruit.

You know the story: Blond Italian-American pop diva, music video eminence, and all-round material girl marries a Brit artiste and moves to England. The relationship hits some bumps along the way, but a baby boy ensues and celebrity life keeps on rolling. "It is weird that we have all these similarities," Gwen Stefani allows as she nestles on a couch in one of the many rooms her entourage has taken in London's Landmark hotel in mid-November. With a voice that hovers somewhere between sultry and Kewpie doll, the singer has a knack for sounding about seven years old: "Madonna's had us over to dinner and stuff, and she's always been very nice to me."
Undeniably, there is scale to Madge's assault on the Old Country, everything from the horsey rural estate to the creeping mid-Atlantic accent. Stefani, by contrast, will lose her flat, half-swallowed Californian vowels when hell freezes over, and anyway, she hasn't even truly relocated to England; she and Brit rocker husband Gavin Rossdale have for the past 10 years split their time between the house in London's tony Primrose Hill (neighbors on either side are Jude Law and his ex, Sadie Frost) and a manse in L.A. But if Madonna does it bigger, it is no longer heresy to suggest that musically, Stefani does it every bit as well. After 17 years of fronting the redoubtable rock/ska/reggae band No Doubt (she should make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the strength of one immortal break-up tune alone, "Don't Speak"), Stefani took the solo plunge. Her 2004 giddy confection of dance tunes Love. Angel. Music. Baby. went triple platinum. ("I remember telling Madonna I was going to do an '80s dance record," Stefani says, "and she rolled her eyes, because I think when you've lived through it like she did, she's like, 'Whatever.' But a lot of my influence came from her early work, like directly, like a Xerox.") That album spawned one monster single, "Hollaback Girl," a saucy cheerleader chant that taught teenage girls how to spell the word bananas and simultaneously established Stefani's urban street cred as a white suburban rapper comfortable with the "S" word and with pop-hop notables the Neptunes' martial beats.
"Gwen was always dope," says Pharrell Williams, producer and one half of the Neptunes. "If there was an ill black record out there, she knew what it was."
Linda Perry, the songwriter-producer who made Pink into Pink, says she barged her way onto the Stefani solo team by physically accosting the singer at the Grammy Awards in 2004. "I was pokin' on her head," Perry says, "and I was like, 'Dude, you gotta give me a call for the new record.'"

From Pennsylvania Game Commission
-- Expressing extreme disappointment, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced that this year's hunting licenses will not be sold through an electronic license sale system, commonly referred to as "point-of-sale."
Beginning in mid-June, the agency will continue to sell paper licenses for the 2008-09 seasons.
"Automated Licensing Systems (ALS), the company hired to produce the new license sale system, missed deadlines to have the system in place for the 2007-08 license year and, on Nov. 15 and on March 1, missed two additional deadlines to deliver a fully-operational and fully-tested point-of-sale system for the 2008-09 license year," Roe said.
"We will not inconvenience our license buyers or our license issuing agents by moving forward with a system that will not serve our customers and sportsmen and sportswomen."
Roe said that staff will again ask the Board of Game Commissioners, at its upcoming meeting on April 21-22, to table regulation changes that were approved preliminarily to accommodate the point-of-sale system, including changes in the antlerless deer license application process.
"What this delay means for license buyers and issuing agents is that the license purchasing process, as well as the antlerless deer license application process, will remain relatively the same as 2007-08," Roe said.
"Despite this set-back, we will continue to work with the contractor to resolve the project issues and shortcomings with an expectation to have a completed system by the end of 2008.
"Once completed, point-of-sale will make license buying easier for our customers, issuing agents and the Game Commission, and will - for the first time in our history - provide the agency with a database of its license buyers that will enable us to better communicate with them. Unfortunately, we do not expect to see the system go live for the sale of hunting and furtaker licenses until the start of the 2009-10 license year."
In June of 2007, when ALS missed its first deadline for delivering an electronic license sale system for use in the 2007-08 license year, the Game Commission had to amend the contract. The amendment placed several deadlines on the company, including November for a test program and a complete system by March 1. In each case, the company missed the deadlines.
Roe recently made the announcement as ALS, which also produced and manages the electronic license sale system being used by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, has entered a "black-out" period, which runs from March 15-April 30. During this black-out period, no further changes can be made to the system to avoid interrupting the peak fishing license sale window two weeks prior to the two opening days of trout season and two weeks after the opening days.
"As no changes can be made during this period, the Game Commission is up against two very real deadlines of its own to prepare for the opening of our license sale period in mid-June," Roe said.
"Our Board will meet on April 21-22, at which time final approval will be given to various license application timetables for the 2008-09 license year, including antlerless deer licenses, as well as seasons and bag limits.
"As soon as the meeting is over, we will be finalizing information for the Hunting and Trapping Digest, which is presented to each license buyer. To avoid delays in printing the 1.3 million copies of the Digest, we need to have this process completed by the end of April and on the printers."
While proposed antlerless deer license allocations won't be available until the Board's meeting in April, draft antlerless deer license application regulations for 2008-09 are being prepared for the Board's consideration. With the exception of the previously approved changes to better accommodate those hunters planning to participate in the early archery antlerless deer seasons in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, the draft antlerless deer license procedures will be similar to last year:
Monday, Aug. 4, the Game Commission will accept one regular antlerless deer license application per resident hunter through first-class mail.
Monday, Aug. 18, the Game Commission will accept one regular antlerless deer license application per nonresident through first-class mail.
Monday, Aug. 25, the Game Commission will accept, only through first-class mail, one application per hunter (resident or nonresident) for the first round of unsold antlerless licenses. In WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, during the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses, hunters may apply for multiple antlerless deer licenses, provided they submit no more than three applications per envelope, in addition to the one unsold antlerless deer license they may apply for in the 19 other WMUs. However, they may mail as many envelopes as they desire for unsold antlerless licenses in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 8, the Game Commission will accept, only through first-class mail, one application per hunter (resident or nonresident) for the second round of unsold antlerless licenses. Also, hunters applying to WMUs 2B, 5C or 5D, may do so over-the-counter.
No later than Monday, Sept. 15, regular antlerless deer licenses and first-round unsold licenses will be mailed by county treasurers to successful applicants. Second-round unsold licenses will be mailed no later than Oct. 1.
Beginning Monday, Nov. 3, hunters may apply over-the-counter for unsold antlerless licenses in all WMUs with remaining allocations.

I constantly have three treasures;
Hold on to them and treasure them.
The first is compassion;
The second is frugality;
And the third is not presuming to be at the forefront in the world.

Let go of the past; you are where are you. Lay no worries for the future; you can only do what you can do. Come to a gentle place where you are able to rest your heart in the present. This is all we have.

The film "The Front Line" (Photo: Naver Movie)
The Korean Film Council (KFC) announced on August 4 that it had finished receiving Korean movies candidates to represent Korea in submissions to 84th Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.
Member countries in the World Film Federation are each allowed to submit one film. Nine of the submitted films will be selected as the final nominees. Korea has formerly submitted the films "Oasis", "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring", "Taegukgi", and "Welcome to Dongmakgol" but has yet to make the final list.
An official from the KFC announced that this year, films including "Sunny - 2010", "The Front Line", "Poongsan", and "The Yellow Sea" were included for consideration. "The Yellow Sea" is considered the favorite in light of its invitation to compete in the 'Un Certain Regard' category at the 64th Cannes Film Festival.
The KFC will screen the submitted films and announce the results in early September at www.kofic.or.kr.
The 84th Academy Awards Ceremony will be held on February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

Victorian Gold Mizpah Locket
Mizpah jewelry is a subset of what has been termed sentimental jewelry, i.e. that of love and loss. The simple block letters MIZPAH are typically found on brooches and rings. Here we find a less conventional use in the form of a circa 1890 locket. Both 14k yellow and rose gold has been employed to best advantage in the art of decoration.
Amidst a ribbon banner in rose gold the word "MIZPAH" has been boldly chased across the front of the double sided oval locket. The reverse reveals a series of botanical and organic design forms covering the entire surface of the locket. Quite beautiful, tactile and, of course poignant.
Measurements: 1-1/4 inches (3.3 cm) in length including bale by 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) in width. Weight of 4.5 grams (2.9 dwt).
Condition: Very good; light wear commensurate with age and use. One glass insert deficient and now replaced with plastic.
Date & Origin: Circa 1890 and is most likely English in origin.

The 1st Annual Sundance Festival
By Roger Ebert
Robert Redford's experiment: a struggle for independents
Sundance, Utah--Up here above Provo, in the resort he has carved out of a little mountain meadow, Robert Redford is conducting an experiment that Hollywood regards with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. He has selected 10 low-budget films that are in the middle-to-late stages of preparation and invited their directors to spend the summer at Sundance working on their scripts in the company of established directors, writers and editors.
On the surface, this seems like an admirable and uncomplicated idea, a cinematic summer camp at which you bring home a screenplay instead of a woodcarving and an Indian belt. But the movie industry is not so sure. Rumors float around that Redford is starting his own studio, that his dream is to be a major producer of independent features, that just as Francis Ford Coppola wants his own major Hollywood studio, so does Redford want his own mini-¬studio here on the mountain he is developing.
The truth is apparently somewhere in be¬tween. Redford says he has no desire to produce personally any of the movies that are under construction at Sundance. But he might hope that eventually the Sundance Institute, a non¬profit foundation headquartered here, will be¬come a clearinghouse for independent film¬makers working outside the studio system. There are countless summer writers' workshops nestled away in the wilds of Vermont and Iowa - why not a workshop for filmmakers?
There is one difference: The filmmakers at Sundance did not pay to attend. After their projects were selected from more than 100 entries, they were invited to settle down in residence here at the expense of Redford's institute and several foundation grants. The facilities are spartan. The filmmakers are guests in several condo-cabins squirreled away in the hills above Sundance. Meals are served buffet¬-style in the small lodge building, and movies are scrutinized in a garage that has been converted into a screening room. There are videotape facilities at Sundance, and some of the film¬makers are conducting trial runs of their mate¬rial by taping some of their scenes.
None of the footage shot at Sundance will turn up in the finished films. It's all preparation, rehearsal and deep thought up here, reflecting Redford's personal belief that independent fea¬tures will not make greater inroads at the American box office until they are (hold your breath) of higher quality.
This is probably true. Most independent American films are made on very low budgets (from a rock bottom of $20,000 for "The Whole Shootin' Match", through a middle range, of $75,000 for "Return of the Secaucus Seven", up to a high of $1.2 million for "Heartland"). Most of them lack well-known actors, although very occasionally a famous actor will lend himself to a project. Most of them have limitations on locations, special effects, costumes, period de¬tails and scenery - because film is the most expensive art form except for grand opera.
But most of all, Redford believes, most of them could benefit from more intensive pre¬production work - things like script revision, close analysis of the story, and an occasional pointed question about the worth of it all. Because independent filmmakers are often the only people who believe in their projects (or even care about them), they are sometimes inclined to treat a film as a crusade rather than as a work in progress.
This first summer at Sundance is highly tentative. Redford and his associates say they are uncertain about exactly what they hope for from the experiment. "We started this with no rigid expectations," Redford said over lunch in his small office at Sundance. "They say I'm starting my own studio, I'm challenging the studios... Actually, I have no idea what this will turn out to be. I know that it's getting increasingly hard to get a movie well distributed in this country unless it has the potential to make millions of dollars. I think these projects here have a lot of promise, and I guess the idea is that they'll turn out better if the filmmakers have the opportunity to work on them with some experienced professionals."
Independent filmmakers got a boost here in Utah three years ago with the founding of the U.S. Film and Video Festival, which is held every January in another ski resort, Park City, and specializes in independently produced fea¬tures. Now maybe Sundance will help generate independent films to be shown at Park City.
The problem, however, is not getting a new low-budget movie shown in Park City. The problem is getting it shown anywhere else. Two weeks ago, as part of his summer-long institute, Redford held a weekend conference of most of the major exhibitors and distributors of "specialized" films - a category that includes independent U.S. features, foreign films, "art films," cult films, revivals and almost anything else that isn't a big-budget, first-run standard Hollywood production.
Most of the independent exhibitors and dis¬tributors accepted Redford's invitation, and it was astonishing, seeing them all together in the same place, to realize how few of them there were. The big studios and the big movies dominate play dates on most of the nation's movie screens, and there are only a handful of houses in most cities that will even consider booking a "specialized" film. Some 45 theater owners, bookers and distributors sat in the bright sunlight in the meadow at Sundance and agreed, almost without discussion, that:
-There are only seven or eight cities in North America in which a "specialized film" can get a decent booking and have any chance of a good run. They are New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco and, surprisingly, Seattle, which is the best city in the country to open a movie that's out of the ordinary.
-College campuses used to supply large audi¬ences for foreign, art and underground movies, but these days the kids go for action blockbust¬ers like "The Empire Strikes Back", just like everybody else.
-Big chains are completely uninterested in booking offbeat films. Like supermarkets, they're concerned only with the turnstile. Chains with four- or six-screen multiplex the¬aters don't even consider booking one of the screens with specialized films.
-Unless it's a rare breakthrough like "La Cage Aux Folies", foreign films are up against a wall at the American box office. There are only about 100 theaters in America that will book a serious, subtitled film, even if it's by Ingmar Bergman or Federico Fellini.
-There is still a market for specialized films among local and campus film societies, but the backbone of that market, rental of movies in 16-mm. prints, is being under-minded by the widespread and illegal practice of videotaping movies and then showing them on video cas¬settes instead of renting them again. (Almost every campus in the country rips off films that way, it was agreed; even, though they're break¬ing the law.)
-Exhibitors talked about the "strong want¬-to-see" factor that fuels blockbuster hits like "Superman II", contrasting it with the curious "desire not to see" that handicaps specialized films. The average moviegoer is under 25. Ten or fifteen years ago, young moviegoers were more enthusiastic about offbeat, anti-establishment independent and foreign films. Now they are much more conformist. More sophisticated big-¬city teen-agers who once attended films by Jean-Luc Godard have now regressed to the level of "Friday the 13th, Part II". Today's young filmgoers have a herd instinct and are reluctant to take a chance. In a sense, they "wear" movies like they wear clothes, attend¬ing a movie that their fashion-sense suggests will look good on them.
The outlook, everyone agreed, was gloomy. Various alternatives looked just as, gloomy. Public television stations like New York's WNET have attracted large audiences for prime-time telecasts of quite esoteric indepen¬dent films, but TV exposure, an exhibitor complained, removes the aura of a "special event" that a movie must have for a theatrical booking.
The brightest ray of hope at Sundance came from Seattle, where there are 13 theaters successfully showing specialized films. (By contrast. Chicago has only two first-run houses, the Biograph and the Sandburg, two showcase operations in Facets and the Film Center, occasional specialized bookings at the Three Penny, and several reper¬tory theaters.) Seattle used to be a lousy town to open an art film - everyone agreed - and the secret to its success was creative exhibition. Audiences were lovingly nurtured, leafleted, mailing-listed and cajoled. Lacking effective coming-attractions trailers, some exhibitors sim¬ply got up with a microphone and told their audiences what was coming next week, and what they thought about it.
No firm conclusions were reached at Sun¬dance. Various visionary schemes were suggest¬ed to establish a national support network for independent features - but without a steady supply of good movies in the pipeline, it would have trouble supporting itself. Success stories were recited about the few breakthrough films like "Secaucus Seven", "A Woman Under the Influence", "Penitentiary", "Gal Young Un" and a handful of foreign hits. Everyone agreed that if there were more good films, there would be larger audiences. But statements like that tend¬ed to lead into winsome silences.
Meanwhile, up in the hills in their cabins, Sundance's filmmakers-in-residence were work¬ing on their scripts. They were consulting every day with experienced professionals such as director Sidney Pollack ("They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"), screenwriter Waldo Salt ("Midnight Cowboy"), cinematographer Caleb Des¬chanel ("The Black Stallion") and actress Amy Robinson ("Mean Streets"). Would 10 really fine independent films come from their labors? Maybe. Maybe five. At least it is a noble experimentt ¶

OK, this is where it really gets interesting. Forget the consensus Top 50 Greatest Movies of All Time; let's get personal. Sight & Sound has now published the top 250 titles in its 2012 international critics poll, the full list of more than 2,000 movies mentioned, and all the individual lists of the 845 participating critics, academics, archivists and programmers, along with any accompanying remarks they submitted. I find this to be the most captivating aspect of the survey, because it reminds us of so many terrific movies we may have forgotten about, or never even heard of. If you want to seek out surprising, rewarding movies, this is a terrific place to start looking. For the past few days I've been taking various slices at the "data" trying to find statistical patterns, and to glean from the wealth of titles some treasures I'd like to heartily recommend -- and either re-watch or catch up with myself.
I know we're supposed to consider the S&S poll a feature film "canon" -- a historically influential decennial event since 1952, but just one of many. I don't disagree with Greg Ferrara at TCM's Movie Morlocks ("Ranking the Greats: Please Make it Stop") when he says that limiting ballots to ten all-time "best" (or "favorite," "significant," "influential" titles is incredibly limiting. That's why I think perusing at the critics' personal lists, the Top 250 (cited by seven critics or more) and the full list of 2,045 films mentioned is more enjoyable pastime.
It's wise to remember that, although the top of the poll may at first glance look relatively conservative or traditional, there's a tremendous diversity in the individual lists. Even the top vote-getter, "Vertigo," was chosen by less than one quarter of the participants.
The big loser in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics poll is... funny. OK, we know there are no losers, only winners! But, still, with the obvious exceptions of "Citizen Kane" and "Rules of the Game," this decade's consensus choices for the Greatest Films of All Time are not a whole lotta laughs, even though they're terrific motion pictures. There's not much in the way of chuckles or joie de vivre to be found in "Vertigo," "Tokyo Story," "Man with a Movie Camera," "The Searchers," "The Passion of Joan of Arc"... At least "Sunrise," "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "8 1/2" have healthy senses of humor, but "Kane" and "Rules of the Game" are the only movies in the top 10 with the propulsive vitality of (screwball) comedy. They are flat-out fun (even if they are regarded as "classics"). And with "Kane" bumped to #2 this time, The List has become, to paraphrase a great comedy from the 1980s, one less funny.
I say this as someone who believes that comedy is everything, and that drama is lifeless (or at least emotionally stunted) without it. Some might argue that comedy without drama is also limited and superficial, but I think comedy is more profound and complex -- and more difficult to pull off successfully. I can name plenty of comedies that capture a mature vision of human existence (if you're into that kind of thing -- like all of Buster Keaton), but a drama that (artificially) excludes humor is feels false and inert to me. [No, I'm not saying the other movies in the Top Ten are humorless or lack cinematic exuberance; just that their energy is not primarily comedic, as i feel Welles' and Renoir's are. To some extent, I'm talking about the overall tendency to value "seriousness" above "humor" in these sorts of exercises.] As for the 2012 Sight & Sound Top Ten, compare it with 1982 ("Singin' in the Rain," "The General"), 1992 ("L'Atlante") and 2002 ("Singin' in the Rain"). The lack of comedy on the new list hearkens back to the Somber Ol' Days of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. As somebody once said: Why so serious?
The king is dead. Long live the king. Welles' "Citizen Kane" has been dethroned from the Sight & Sound list of the greatest films of all time, and replaced by Hitchcock's "Vertigo." It's not as if nobody saw this coming. The list first appeared in 1952, and "Vertigo" (1958) made the list for the first time only in 1982. Climbing slowly, it placed five votes behind "Kane" in 2002. Although many moviegoers would probably rank "Psycho" or maybe "North by Northwest" as Hitch's best, for S&S types his film to beat was "Notorious" (1946). That's the one I voted for until I went through "Vertigo" a shot at a time at the University of Virginia, became persuaded of its greatness, and put it on my 2002 list.
UPDATED (08/01/12): Scroll to the bottom of this entry to see my first impressions of the newly announced critics' and directors' poll results.
Vittorio De Sica's "Bicycle Thieves" (1948) topped the first Sight & Sound critics' poll in 1952, only four years after it was first released, dropped to #7 in 1962, and then disappeared from the top ten never to be seen again. (In 2002 only five of the 145 participating critics voted for it.) Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" (1941) flopped in its initial release but was rediscovered in the 1950s after RKO licensed its films to television in 1956. From 1962 to 2002 "Kane" has remained at the top of the poll (46 critics voted for it last time). This year, a whopping 846 top-ten ballots (mentioning 2,045 different titles) were counted, solicited from international "critics, programmers, academics, distributors, writers and other cinephiles" -- including bloggers and other online-only writers. Sight & Sound has announced it will live-tweet the 2012 "Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time" (@SightSoundmag #sightsoundpoll) August 1, and as I write this the night before, I of course don't know the results. But, for now at least, I'm more interested in the process.
Given the much wider and younger selection of voters in 2012, ist-watchers have been speculating: Will another movie (leading candidate: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo," number 2 in 2002) supplant "Kane" at the top of the list? Will there be any silent films in the top 10? (Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" and Murnau's "Sunrise" tied for #7 on the 2002 list, but the latter was released in 1927 with a Fox Movietone sound-on-film musical score and sound effects.)
Though there's been no rule about how much time should pass between a film's initial release and its eligibility (the Library of Congress's National Film Registry requires that selections be at least ten years old), most of the selections ten to have stood the test of time for at least a decade or two. The newest film on the 2002 list was the combination of "The Godfather" (1972) and "The Godfather, Part II" (1974) -- but they won't be allowed to count as one title for 2012.
Not long ago I read an article about a new skyscraper charmingly named The Shard that will be the tallest structure in Europe. I posted it on my Facebook page, adding something like: "Great! Just what the London skyline needs!" A reader quickly commented that I was showing my age.
A video essay published in tandem with Indiewire
"The human face is the great subject of the cinema. Everything is there." - Ingmar Bergman
The craggy complexion. The stately ovate chin. Those thin lips deceptively wrapped around that charming smile. That perfect nose. Those clear greenish-brown eyes. That squint.
One cannot discuss Clint Eastwood's iconic stature in film, without mentioning his face. There are others that have been as handsome (Newman), masculine (Gable), striking (Hitchcock), fearsome (Bronson), and symbolic (Wayne). But from a visual standpoint, none of them have been as instrumental as a filmmaking tool or signature. Most actors are cast to fill in a character from the inside out, building an individual based on the personal. But Eastwood himself is a form. An absent presence whose persona is filled primarily by the film's themes and ideas.
Long-suffering readers will have read many times about my dislike of lists, especially lists of the best or worst movies in this or that category. For years they had value only in the minds of feature editors fretting that their movie critics had too much free time. ("For Thursday's food section, can you list the 10 funniest movies about pumpkin pie?") Now their value has shot way up with the use of slide shows, a diabolical time-waster designed to boost a web site's page visits.
In a field with much competition, Number One on my list of Most Shameless Lists has got to be Time mag's recent list of the "Best 140 Tweeters." How did the magazine present this? That's right, on 140 pages of a slideshow. Considering that the list had no meaning at all except as some hapless intern's grindwork, I'd say that was a bold masterstroke. I say so even though I was on it. Do you think I would click through 140 pages just looking for my name? You bet I did. And then stopped clicking.

Hidden away in rolling forested hills, this hospital treated tuberculosis and other respiratory illnesses in the early twentieth century. The TB patient population dwindled as the treatment of the diseases steadily improved and advanced, and by the early 1970s the facility changed roles to become a psychiatric facility, treating mostly geriatric patients. During this transition, the hospital was downsized, and one or two buildings on the campus were shuttered. The remaining structures at the institution house about 275 patients; plans are to close the facility permanently to reduce state spending.

U.S. Stock ETFs Go Their Own Way
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- Prior to the 2007-2009 financial meltdown in the U.S., risk-takers thoroughly embraced the idea that emerging markets would regularly trounce the developed economies.
At times, this simply meant emerging market stocks would outperform on the upside. At other times, this referred to the ability of "emergers" to hold on to gains, even if U.S. stocks were faltering.
The investing idea that one region's equity markets could move independently from another's market had been dubbed "decoupling." In fact, the term received so much attention, it has been used to described unanticipated moves between other types of risk assets.
For example, high-yield bonds are supposed to behave more like stocks. At the start of 2013, however, rate sensitivity had caused the class to dip with investment grade bonds, and "decouple" from the rising stock market.As the media celebrate record highs for the Dow Jones Industrials, you won't find much about the decoupling that has occurred in 2013. Vanguard Value (VTV) has jumped roughly 7.5%. In complete contrast, Vanguard Europe (VGK) is flat and Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO) is down 4%. Are the declines and near-term downtrends for non-U.S. ETFs hinting at an eventual pullback for U.S. stock ETFs? Should we expect diversified stock indices to eventually "RE-couple." If so, is it more likely that non-U.S. funds will catch up with the extraordinary rally in domestic equities? In my estimation, U.S. stocks haven't really taken a meaningful breather in 16 weeks. For that matter, we haven't seen a full-fledged 10% correction since the "fall" of 2011. Perhaps most curious of all, non-cyclical stocks (e.g., consumer staples, pharma, utilities, etc.) are largely outperforming cyclical stocks (e.g., technology, energy, materials, etc.).

Nine Amazing Crafts to Help Decorate Your Sukkah
Now that you've finished crafting for Rosh Hashanah it's time to switch gears and decorate for Sukkot! (Just wait until the Thanksgiving and Hanukkah decorations overlap this year. OY!) The great thing about Sukkot decorations is that you can save them and use these memories to decorate for years to come.
Garland is a fun addition to any space and you can make it out of tissue paper or yarn. Both would look great hanging from your sukkah roof.
1. Pumpkin garland from Over the Moon:
2. Pom-Pom Garland from 4 Men 1 Lady:
3. Pink Tissue Pom-Poms from Oh So Very Pretty:
4. These eggs are really fun and would be great with bold reds and browns. Yarn Eggs from Spoonful:
5. Fingerprint Corn from Little Lucy Lu:
Can't find an Etrog? Why not make your own!
6. Citron Sun Catchers from Shiksa in the Kitchen:
7. Paper Mache Etrog from Here We Are Together:
8. I thought this mixed media sukkot craft was both fun and meaningful. You could find pictures of all of the friends who joined you for meals in your sukkah that year.
Sukkah Collage from Joyful Jewish:
9. Along those same lines, in the age of iPhones/Instagram it might be fun to set up a wall of your sukkah for a "sukkah photobooth" where you take photos of friends in your sukkah and then have them printed out to use for years to come! These square prints are swoon-worthy. You could string them up by attaching them to a long ribbon.
Hope some of these ideas were helpful and inspire you to get crafty and creative this week!
