Why did Paul McCartney's "Out There" tour skip Las Cruces?
Follow the money.
New Mexico State University officials had been in talks with the legendary rocker's handlers about a possible May 26 show at Aggie Memorial Stadium on Las Cruces campus. The stadium could have accommodated up to 27,000 fans for the show.
The talks were confirmed — and reported by the Times — last month after rumors of a possible McCartney show spread like wildfire. Normally, the people trying to book a show as significant as that won't discuss negotiations with the press. They wait until they have a contract. They don't want egg all over their faces, not to mention a lot of frustrated fans, in the event it doesn't happen.
But NMSU Special Events Director Scott Breckner took the unusual step of confirming that they were talking to McCartney's people about a possible appearance, his first since a 1993 show at the stadium (which didn't sell out). Breckner said at the time that too many people from too many entities had been involved in the negotiations and rumors were multiplying like Beatles' hits in the '60s.
He sounded pretty confident that Macca would play the stadium. The fact that his retired predecessor, Barbara Hubbard, was involved in the talks added more oomph to his confidence. She said the original proposal was to produce two McCartney shows — at NMSU's 13,000-seat Pan American Center and Lubbock's 15,000-seat United Spirit Arena — for a guaranteed $2 million.
Talk turned to Aggie Memorial Stadium, which could draw about the same number of people in one fell swoop. First they looked at May 24, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, then May 26.
According to Breckner and Hubbard, McCartney's management discussed possible routing of the tour with Sir Paul around the middle of this week, around the time it was announced that his "Out There" tour would bring take him to Austin's Frank Erwin Center on May 22, the 70-year-old's first performance in the Texas music capitol.
The Cruces date fell through, they said Thursday, when the McCartney people chose to route the tour differently. As of this writing, they've only announced five of what Breckner said would be 10 U.S. dates, none west of Austin. They include two shows announced today — May 29 at Tulsa's BOK Center (on arena on which our proposed new arena may be modeled) and July 12 at Nationals Park, home of baseball's Washington Nationals.
They join three other confirmed U.S. dates — including Austin show, a July 9 return to Boston's Fenway Park and McCartney's participation in this year's Bonnaroo festival, which is June 13-16, in Tennessee (in another cruel twist, fellow Bonnaroo headliners Mumford and Sons passed up an offer to play the Pan Am in June for a festival in Taos).
Why route the tour away from Las Cruces? It's not like McCartney, a millionaire several times over, needs the money, right? Well, no. Paul McCartney the man may be filthy rich, but Paul McCartney the company has a band (a really good one), crew, agents, managers and others on the payroll. They probably don't work for peanuts.
Why settle for a $2 million guarantee when you can make more at a venue, or venues, closer to Austin and Tulsa where the economy is bigger and people will shell out more for a ticket?
That, I suspect, is the big reason McCartney Inc. chose to point the equipment trucks in another direction.
People often ask me why we don't get more high-profile tours here. I usually point to two factors: 1) The arenas we have are too small, too old and don't provide enough versatility and revenue streams for those big acts; 2) This is a relatively poor area, which doesn't have the kind of discretionary income that comparable and smaller markets with bigger economies do.
Update the facilities (and a new arena is in our future, thanks to last November's voter-approved $180 million bond) and improve the economy (maybe that new Triple-A baseball stadium will be a catalyst) and maybe we'll see more of those bigger names everyone says they want.
Until then, I guess we'll have to keep traveling to other cities to see them.

I could have stayed here all day long.
One of the only regrets I have is I don't live near the beach, to smell the sea!
I hope to fix that soon, to spend a month or so at a time at least, but my Culinary programs to Sicily at least get me here often.
I just got back from two weeks of being Sicilian and sharing it with students. It is such a joy to introduce friends and hopefully create new Sicily fans as we travel.
Everyone is surprised at how large Sicily is and how incredibly beautiful. A mix of many cultures and landscapes.
I am always fascinated by the salt flats outside Trapani, we were lucky to be there during the harvest. Amazing mountains of salt crystals, left to dry.
The magnificent churches reflecting multiple cultures and periods of time.
We visited this bombed out church in Mazara del Valle. Sicily was heavily bombed by the Americans after the war had already ended. Coming to Sicily is like going to school. I am constantly learning.
I will be posting some recipes soon, need to do some recipe testing in my own kitchen, but here is a little teaser.
My FAVORITE pizza is at Calvani's in Trapani, called Rianata, which is oregano in Sicilian dialect. No tomato sauce, no mozzarella!!! PACKED with flavor.
Crunch pecorino cheese melted on top!!! Wish I had some for breakfast.
My next trip is in November for the new oil harvest. Let me know if you would like to join me.

Encrypted Text: A Rogue's guide to battleground PvP {WoW}
Aug 4th 2008 3:56PM It's just MY opinion along with many other people's (obviously) and I probably won't be the only person you get into a tiff with over rogue specs and what's best, etc. I agree with the "play how you want" style but it really isn't the best tactic to use. Yeah, you pay $15 a month you should be able to play how you want, and I respect that. And if you PvP more than you do anything else, subtlety is awesome. Although, and this is just MY opinion (as well as other people's, probably) dagger subtlety rogues were flavor of the month and it's really not the best way to utilize the class as it used to be. Again, MY opinions, what I've read up on the class and learned for myself by playing the class and what I've learned from people who play the class extremely well (even level 70 specced subtlety rogues! imagine that!). With that said, I am finishing this argument and no longer responding if you reply because there's really nothing else to say. As for the sinister strike/riposte comment... all I have to say is, "wow." Interpret that how you wish. Have an awesome day! :)
Encrypted Text: A Rogue's guide to battleground PvP {WoW}
Aug 4th 2008 12:21PM I disagree with you completely. Almost all, if not all rogue leveling guides say combat is best for leveling. Not to sound harsh, but brush up on your information before saying something like that. What exactly is it that you can solo with subtlety that you cannot solo with combat? Take a closer look at the trees. Your comment really doesn't make sense to me, I'm sorry. There is no way subtlety is better than combat for leveling alone or with someone else. No freakin' way.
Alterac Valley, the Battle-less Battleground {WoW}
Aug 4th 2008 9:55AM I friken hate AV. Horde seems to be completely incapable of winning. But to me, at least in my battle group, it's still fairly good for farming honor. I'm not yet 70 so I can't just run by people because Alliance will definitely pick on the weakling. There's really nothing I can do in the BG since I get killed so quickly, so I just stealth around and pick off the weakest 70s I can find to get the killing blows on :D When I hit 70, I can only expect I'll hate it even more. But I need the honor points to get my PvP gear! Argh, you just can't win. On the other hand, I'm really excited about the new BG in Wrath, and oh, I hate WSG. Goodbye. :)
Forum post of the day: A monetary slap in the face {WoW}
Aug 1st 2008 9:32AM Leveling lockpicking (if you didn't do it on your way up) sucks. Trying to open lockboxes in a city to level your profession sucks even more. I have pick-pocketed and ran my way across Azeroth and spent hours on end (and yes, it is my fault) to get my lockpicking up to the unfortunate 275 it is right now, but I always advertise my services for free. I'm shocked when I get tips between 50s-15g just for picking a few locks, but if they want to give it to me, let them :) Pretty much everyone said something that I was going to say. :\ If you ask for tips, you get what you get, plain and simple. If you have a set cost for your services then you really should have no problem. People either want to pay or not. But if you're supplying YOUR materials, then the other person should at least be expected to pay for the cost of the materials and their precious precious time :)
Encrypted Text: A Rogue's guide to battleground PvP {WoW}
Jul 31st 2008 9:24AM My rogue is level 65 and I PvP a lot (when my boyfriend is at work and not on wow since he's leveling a mage with me) but I am a combat rogue since combat is the best leveling spec. It kind of upsets me to see all (most) of the rogue posts here relating to subtlety specs when, believe it or not! not all rogues are specced subtlety. I'd really like to see more variety in the posts, like maybe have tactics for each spec instead of just one. I very rarely see anything about Assassination or Combat. I realize subtlety is the best PvP spec, and even though I PvP a lot, I'm not going to respec (now or at 70 probably) just so I can pwn in PvP and gimp myself of damage output in the PvE world. Does anyone even have tactics for non-subtlety rogues doing PvP? Anyway, I guess that was my little QQ for the morning.
Breakfast Topic: Planning for the beta {WoW}
Jul 25th 2008 10:36AM Oh wait, you're totally right. Disregard every comment I have ever made. My undead rogue needs a new hair style BAD. Haha.
Breakfast Topic: Planning for the beta {WoW}
Jul 25th 2008 10:24AM I'll definitely still play my rogue because I love her so dearly, I don't think I could let her go. But you're right about DK DPS outweighing rogue dps and not only because they definitely out-armor them. I'm so excited to wear plate armor as a DPS (because for some reason I just refuse to play a paladin or a warrior as DPS... or at all :\). IMO, I just think DKs will be extremely useful for just about anything, which excites me.
Breakfast Topic: Planning for the beta {WoW}
Jul 25th 2008 9:56AM Am I the only person who really jus wants to wait for the expansion to come out to play the game? I'm not fired up about beta, I didn't opt-in. Primarily because I guess I'm lame. But when the EXPANSION comes out, my rogue will come first. My female tauren DK will start out as an alt until I get my rogue to 80. Depending on how I like the DK and how good I get at it, I don't know what I will use her for. I don't want to tank because DPS seems to be my niche, and I may just use her for PvP. So many choices...
Breakfast Topic: WoW-related merchandise and spin-offs {WoW}
Jul 24th 2008 11:08AM Holy carp, how could I forget??? I made a shirt that says, "My boyfriend's totems are bigger than yours" and on the lower right side of the back it says, "Horde FTW" because I didn't have enough glittery silver and gold letters to actually put "For The Horde"... It took FOREVER to make that shirt, lol because the damn letters wouldn't stay on. Faulty iron-ons...
Breakfast Topic: WoW-related merchandise and spin-offs {WoW}
Jul 24th 2008 8:57AM I have a horde decal on the back window of my truck (it replaced a very old, sad looking slytherin one :[ ). I also have a rogue shirt (and bought my boyfriend the shaman one so we could match, hehe :') ), a shirt that says "less QQ more pew pew", and right now I am in ownage of my boyfriend's BC shirt. No one has come up to me personally in public and said something, but I was with my boyfriend once at the mall and he had on his Alliance shirt (neither of us play alliance anymore) and some guy talked to us for like half an hour about WoW and it was rather hilarious.
I digress. I would love to have more WoW swag and am actually considering getting some trading cards (just because I want phat l00tz, really). WoW merch is fun and I like to represent :D

What is Koh Phra Thong?
Koh Phra Thong is one of Thailand's last unspoiled coastal locations. With over 15km of largely uninhabited white sandy beaches.The island is relatively large with a total area of around 100km.
Why Koh Phra Thong?
Koh Phra Thong is an ideal choice for those seeking an 'off the beaten track' Thai Island.
Koh Phra Thong is the closest habitable island to Thailand's best scuba diving at Richelieu Rock. It is also one of the few places where you can dive direct from the beach!
Where is Koh Phra Thong?
Koh Phra Thong is located in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of southern Thailand. The middle link in a chain of 3 islands, it is close to the port town of Khuraburi, situated on the mainland about 10km east. Koh Phra Thong is about 550km south of Bangkok and 100km north of Phuket.
Nature on Koh Phra Thong
This island hosts a number of important eco-systems. These include areas of mangrove forest, seagrass and coral reef. There is a good number of bird species & interesting mammals. The sea holds a wealth of biodiversity with the beaches being protected for turtle nesting.
Dive boats at Koh Phra Thong
All of the snorkeling & scuba diving spots at Koh Phra Thong are either available directly off the beach or by a short boat ride on a long tail boat or on the Blue Guru zodiac, 'Kanga'.
Longtails & Zodiacs
When we only have a few divers then it is easy enough to transfer to the dive sites at Koh Pling on 'Kanga'. She will whip us out there in a matter of minutes to enjoy some exclusive diving.
On days when there are more divers we may use one of the local longtail boats to take us to the reef.
Beach diving
Koh Phra Thong is one of the few Thai islands which has genuine scuba diving from the beach. This means that if you prefer not to dive from a boat then you don't have to. One Blue Guru's favourite dive sites at Koh Pling is accessible directly from our beach side dive centre.
Local scuba diving schedule
The Blue Guru diving schedule at Koh Phra Thong is quite flexible. The dive shop is close to all the dive sites so often you can just come to the shop and dive. However, we do like to apply a structure to our dive timetable so that we can give you the best experience possible.
Even though it is possible to arrange a dive in the morning and another in the afternoon, we tend to configure the schedule according to the optimum time of the tides. This will normally allow for two good local dives each day with the peak diving time changing on a daily basis. By booking in advance you ensure that you get preference in our schedule.
Snorkeling schedule
The Blue Guru snorkeling schedule is even more relaxed. This is mainly because the tide does not play as strong an influence on the sites. Snorkeling is available directly off the beaches though the reef at Koh Pling does require a boat ride. Book ahead where possible.
Long dive times
The local dive sites at Koh Phra Thong are quite shallow and afford the possibility of extra long dives. The Blue Guru divemasters are very keen to find new macro life or to seek out giant rays - so you can expect dive times of about 1hr.

Koh Phra Thong is one of the best places in Thailand to try this as the diving is shallow and accessible directly from the beach. The dive sites are our own and we only teach very small groups. Blue Guru has extensive experience teaching Kids & family groups and the vast majority of people LOVE IT!

iPad Game Review: Squids Wild West Review
Quick Reply
iPad Game Review: Squids Wild West (Universal) Review
Reviewed by Tom Slayton
Squids Wild West is a much improved follow-up to the original Squids for iOS. A clever mash-up of a traditional RPG, physics puzzler, and turn-based strategy, Squids Wild West hits the mark in almost every way.
When the original Squids was released, I bought it instantly based on the game description. Unfortunately, while the gameplay was sound, somebody, somewhere convinced these coders that to really make money on the App Store you need to hold gamers upside-down and shake them until all of their money falls out of their pants. Well, at least that's how it felt. It was a fantastic game that had been maimed by an unfortunate business model. It's easy to understand why developers occasionally get this wrong, however. Between the race to the bottom (.99$) and the ease with which a good game can slip into obscurity, it's no wonder coders no longer feel that they can simply write a game, put it in the App Store, and expect to make money. Unfortunately, in the case of the original Squids, that strategy probably would have worked. Enter: Squids Wild West, which seems to fix everything that was wrong with the first iteration without breaking anything in the process. Heck, they've even managed to come up with a few enhancements.
Squids Wild West is a clever combination of traditional RPG, physics puzzler, and turn-based strategy; and it all works extremely well. The game is broken-up into a series of scripted missions/encounters in which you are tasked with vanquishing your aquatic foes. Much like Spongebob Squarepants, if you concentrate too much on the fact that all of this is supposed to take place underwater, you'll have trouble suspending your disbelief, so just go with it. Each of your squids has a different set of strengths, weaknesses, and abilities (like a traditional RPG). Accessing these abilities is dead simple. Healers can heal simply by crashing into an injured squid, opponents within range of special and ranged attacks are immediately flagged as such, and picking-up stars, power-ups, and treasure is accomplished automatically, on impact. Ah, yes; the impact. This brings us to the game's core mechanic, which is reminiscent of Angry Birds et.al. To move your squids and to attack with them, you stretch them in the opposite direction you want them flung, and then release. The rock-solid physics engine makes Squids feel a bit like billiards as you try for clever bank shots and chain reactions. Squids Wild West supports Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements, and also supports Cloud Save for all of you multi-device owners.
The graphics in Squids Wild West are very good. They're colorful, the animation is smooth, and the hand-drawn backgrounds add a lot of personality. The game looked great on my iPhone 4S, but as with most games that aren't optimized for the new iPad, it looked decidedly less crisp when played on that device.
The music of Squids Wild West is particularly enjoyable, although the sound effects are also top notch. Sound is one area where cut corners are common in iOS games. Fortunately, this is not the case here. Don't be too hasty to turn the sound down, and maybe even reach for those headphones...
In-App Purchases (IAPs)
While there are still IAPs in this version of Squids, they are far, far less intrusive. In fact, as I played, I never felt that I was being nagged or that they were necessary to be successful (in fact, most IAPs are purely cosmetic). Levels can be repeated to farm pearls and there doesn't seem to be any chokepoints to drive you to the in-game store.
Squids Wild West is a delightful blending of several genres. The result is a game that seems to be greater than the sum of its parts. Highly recommended.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 4 -
Very good, but could use a retina update for the new iPad.
Sound: - 5 -
Excellent sound effects and music.
Controls: - 5 -
The "flinging" aspect of the game works perfectly, and great care has been taken to keep the interface intuitive, clean, and uncluttered.
Gameplay: - 5 -
I enjoyed everything about this game.
Overall: - 4.75 -
Inventive and fluid gameplay, excellent graphics and good music.
Playing Hints and Tips:
There is no tutorial for a reason; just start playing and everything will be clear in moments. After the first mission, however, take some time to familiarize yourself with your team, and make substitutions as necessary. You should always have at least one healer; everything else is negotiable. Before you spend any pearls on leveling up or equipment, purchase the pearlfish, which doubles pearl drops throughout the game.

CLEVELAND -- Clouds are gathering on the horizon, off in the distance but getting closer all the time.
Angels outfielder Vernon Wells has been medically cleared this week to begin more intense rehab work, six weeks after surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. Wells began playing catch this week, the first time he was allowed to throw a baseball since the surgery. He has stepped up his conditioning work and is also doing more strenuous strengthening exercises with his hand, some involving gripping a bat – something else he wasn't allowed to do for six weeks.
"Any time you're not using those different muscles for so long, you have to work to get them fired up again," Wells said of the workout. "It's just about doing some activities that will put more stress on it (his thumb)."
Wells is tentatively scheduled to start taking swings next week – first 'dry swings' (no ball) then off a tee, progressing to soft toss and actual batting practice.
Wells said he has a target in mind to start a minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment "shortly after the All-Star break" which arrives next week. Wells is on the 60-day DL and can't be activated until July 20 at the earliest.
That's when those clouds will arrive.
When Wells injured his thumb on May 20, the Angels were six games under .500 (18-24), last in the AL West (eight games out) and only beginning to show signs of coming out of the deep depression that marked the first six weeks of their season.
But they went into Wednesday's game holding down one of the American League's two wild-card spots and have two freshly-minted All-Star outfielders in Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo. There seems to be no role for Wells (certainly none worthy of his $21 million salary) and only the potential for disruption if Manager Mike Scioscia gives him playing time over either of those two players —or reserve outfielder Peter Bourjos, for that matter.
"You always face different situations," Scioscia said. "This thing could turn six different ways by the time he comes back and plays so you really can't speculate on what's going to happen.
"What Vernon does — he's a special player when he's right and that's his focus right now, getting healthy. We'll obviously look at where we are and what's going on but it's still a long ways away."
Wells has deflected questions about where he will fit in — if at all — when he returns, saying only that he thinks there will still be "a spot for me in left" field. As that date inches closer and Trout and Trumbo have cemented their importance to the Angels, Wells said he has not looked beyond the short-range challenge of getting ready to play.
"No, that's not going to worry me," Wells said. "Even when I get healthy, that can't be my focus because it's out of my control. My focus is just on getting healthy, getting back in the lineup and doing what I can do to help the team."
It seems unlikely that Dan Haren will make his final scheduled start before the All-Star break, and he could be headed to the DL for the first time in his career depending on the outcome of a planned examination of his back.
The Angels have very limited and unattractive options to replace him in the rotation.

EC Opens Investigation into Ineos-Norsk Hydro Deal
9:48 AM MDT | September 21, 2007 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
The European Commission (EC) says it has opened an in depth investigation into Ineos's planned acquisition of Norsk Hydro's integrated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) business (CW, May 30/June 6, p. 15). The EC says it has until January 11, 2008 to determine if the proposed deal will "significantly impede effective competition" in the European Economic Area, particularly in the U.K. Ineos had submitted "a set of undertakings" to remove any competitive concerns, but those suggestion have been rejected by the EC because they failed to...

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 3, 2012—A lot of people are asking, "Why?" Why are we already getting a reboot of Spider-Man when Sam Raimi's Spider-Man came out 10 years ago? Why isn't there just a Spider-Man 4? Why are they making this at all?
The answer to the first question is that Sony Pictures had to make another Spider-Man movie soon or it would lose the rights to the character. They didn't make a Spider-Man 4 because Spider-Man 3 was unwatchable. And lastly, they are making this for money.
But the good news is the new movie is really good.
So another origin story on Peter Parker, this time more true to the comic book The Amazing Spider-Man. This one shows a little more of Peter as a child being left by his parents with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Why did they leave in such a hurry? Where have they been all this time?
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield; The Social Network) is far superior to Toby Maguire's interpretation. Garfield plays the role a bit more misunderstood and teen-agery.
Maguire's Parker was just a nerd.
Instead of Mary Jane as the love interest we have Gwen Stacy which means we get to gaze at Emma Stone (Easy A). Marc Webb, who directed the indie romance (500) Days of Summer, takes over the directing duties and ultimately makes the biggest difference in the look and feel for the reboot.
This Spider-Man is a little darker and moodier. The web crawler carries a backpack, he discovers his powers to Coldplay and he cries sometimes. It sounds goofy, but it works. Parker is a teen-ager, he's in high school so he can be a little emo if he wants.
The villain is Dr. Curt Conners, played by Rhys Ifans (The Replacements), who used to work with Parkers father. Conners is missing an arm and is trying to come up with a way to infuse lizard DNA with his so he can regenerate his limb. This turns him into a full-blown lizard instead. He goes on a rampage in the city for motives that aren't completely clear.
The action is great, and the story works. This was much better than the 2002 Spider-Man, and Garfield is perfect for Parker.
But it does have it's faults. Some scenes are beyond cheesy, and most of them feature C. Thomas Howell. You have to remember it is a comic book movie. It's about a guy in a costume swinging around the city trying to fight his dad's former friend that is now a lizard. If some of it goes over the edge, you deal with it.
Very good and definitely look forward to the sequels.

Best Independent Video Store -- Avant-Garde Denver 2001 - Video Station
Niche marketing is nothing new in the world of videos; Boulder's Video Station has been doing it for twenty years now. Yes, this is the place to find classics like Debbie Does Dallas, Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door, but a huge part of the store's 66,000-title inventory is made up of foreign, independent and avant-garde films. There's also a big documentary section; if you missed the basketball epic Hoop Dreams or the Academy Award-winning documentary Hearts and Minds, Video Station has them in stock. And if you want an obscure film -- say, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, starring a young Sean Connery fending off leprechauns --for your very own, this store has plenty of used tapes for sale. In fact, if you can't find your desired movie here, it doesn't exist.

Clinique's Random Acts of Happiness
Judy Garland used to sing, "Forget your troubles, come on get happy!" And for the next three days you can get happy, too, thanks to Clinique's Happy Weekend event, which is an extension of the company's annual Happy Day. Clinique has teamed up with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the United States' oldest and largest youth-mentoring organization, to give less fortunate folks reasons to smile this holiday season. During Happy Weekend, Clinique will set up pop-up tents in New York City, Chicago, and Miami, where workers will wrap all your Christmas presents—and the gifts don't even have to be Clinique products. Hot chocolate will be served, too. Clinique will have signature orange-and-white candy canes and balloons on hand for kids, and there will be even free pedi-cabs to take you to the nearest Clinique counter to purchase a $50 bottle of the Happy fragrance. (While you are there, don't forget to register to win an iPod!)
Clinique will be donating a large portion of Happy fragrance sales to B.B.B.S. Most of the children at B.B.B.S. receive donated gifts, and they rarely have anything to give to their moms, so Clinique decided to provide presents for their parents. This year, Clinique will give makeovers to moms during Happy Weekend, along with a full year's supply of skin care and makeup customized just for them. Isn't that nice, or what!
All you have to do is show up and get your presents wrapped, drink, and be merry! I'm hearing that all Clinique executives, including the company's president, will be working behind the counters as a way to support both Clinique's dedicated sales teams and consumers, and to pass on the happy mantra, especially during these tough times. And these executives came up with a little tip list to make people happy this holiday season—it's good stuff!
• Smile a lot this holiday season.
• Say thank you to people.
• Perform a random act of kindness.
• Talk about all the positive things that are happening in the world.
• Remind someone about all the reasons to be happy!
• Give a child, any child, something to smile about.
As my mom always said, "When you give, give wholeheartedly—it will make you a happier person." And remember, it's been clinically proven that happiness is contagious. :)
New York City: Friday, December 12, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the GM Building Plaza (Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets).
Chicago: Saturday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Pioneer Court (401 N. Michigan Avenue).
Miami: Saturday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Dadeland Mall (7303 SW 88th Street).

Rorschach Theatre
by Reina Hardy
directed by Lee Liebeskind
"In the empty living room of a shabby apartment, in the dark, a Beast is crying. There is just enough light to see that he is monstrous, and that he is clutching something precious to him."
Beauty never showed up. The Beast and his remaining magical servant have moved into a shabby apartment near a 7-11, hoping for a lower cost of living and better luck with girls. This fairy tale includes a building manager with a taste for gingerbread and children, spells that come with a price, an eligible maiden, a kidnapping, and a relentlessly cheery lamp that discovers what – and who – must be sacrificed for an ordinary life.

I walk past this photograph on my stairwell every single day. It sits there in its black frame reminding me of the power of this here girl. Her amazing inner strength and resilience.
You may have seen this pic before. To be honest with you, I had no idea when I took it, and it was only when I looked at the camera data was I able to decipher that it was in fact : 11/26/2007 2:10:30 PM.
Nearly 7 years ago.
My first baby is now nearly 14 and she a shining light in our lives. Reminding us every day what a gentle presence can have in the thick of a storm.
Today I walked up our stairwell and looked straight into her eyes and thought to myself how thankful I am that she is with us. What a beautiful soul she is.

James Harden was just traded to the Rockets!!!!
Is the Hawks GM still around? I know they weren't in the playoffs, but I feel like I haven't seen him post anything
Shopping the T-Wolves pick for a good, young PG, SG, or SF and/or picks.
Looking for a young PG that has room to grow.
shopping my Suns, Bulls and Clippers picks to move up in the draft
willing to move Marbury for a high 03 pick or something else if it's good enough.
where are the all star weekend results?
So how are we going to do this upcoming free agency? is it too soon to ask?
We are doing the private bidding, but after that I am not sure.
Trell, it's not closed...
Whoah, i suggested that !
I'd imagine it's 1 per team.
In real life you can test the market of multiple players at once and send out offers to a bunch of different players for what you think they are worth and then if they sign with you that can eliminate your ability to sign still deciding players.
I promise you if that rule is put in, it will ruin FA and eventually the league.
Anyways check out my trade block, every asset other than Pierce and Allen is being shopped pretty heavily, and even they aren't untouchable.
2nd round picks for sale!! Im selling, message me if interested.
and if its possible can we have moe than 3 sims for the free agency? im thinking 1 sim per day for 10 days
Private offers are ok for me as long as CP3 will tell us what a players biggest offer is

Individual bursaries of up to £800 for freelancers or £500 for company employees will be available through each scheme to cover the cost of a broad range of courses that have been approved by Skillset.
All of the courses approved for the Health & Safety bursary scheme fall under the priority areas defined in the Health and Safety Framework that has been developed by Skillset in conjunction with representatives from throughout the TV and film industries. This framework is the result of industry-wide agreement on what are the priority occupations and skill areas for health and safety training. The Health and Safety Framework encompasses the Production Safety Passport programme, revised National Occupation Standards, and relevant Qualifications and Apprenticeships.
Five of the Health & Safety courses eligible for bursaries are recognised under Skillset's groundbreaking Production Safety Passport programme. The health and safety skills learned on these courses will be recognised throughout the industry, eliminating the need for people to repeat training as they move from role to role. The details of completed training will be entered into the Production Safety Passport Portal, which will then allow employers to verify the level of health and safety training that an individual has achieved when they start in a new role.
Skillset's chief executive, Dinah Caine said: "These bursary schemes are a forward-thinking response to our industry's training needs. Our bursaries are designed to give film and TV professional simple and flexible access to our funding, so that they get the most relevant training at a time that suits them."
Angela Roberts, managing editor of the BBC's College of Production and member of Skillset's TV Skills Council, said: "The Production Safety Passport is a really important innovation for our industry; it will save companies and individuals time and money, whilst still making sure that we are operating in safe and effective workplaces."
In response to Skillset's research that shows that just 42 per cent of the Creative Media workforce is female, compared to 46 per cent in the UK economy, Skillset aims to award more than 50 per cent of these bursaries to women.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — This is how Daniel Bard wants to feel.
Making his first appearance in a Grapefruit League game in more than a week, Bard struck out all three Minnesota hitters he faced in the sixth inning at Hammond Stadium on Thursday. Stadium velocity readings had him touching 97 mph and consistently hitting 93-95.
"I don't know what my velocity was, but it felt as good as it's felt in a long time coming out," he said. "There's finishing on the ball. It's got some late life to it. Some late swings. It's a good feeling to get those reactions."
Already under the microscope after enduring a baffling season, Bard took a step back from exhibition games to throw extra pitches in the bullpen and in a simulated game.
"Mechanically, I knew something needed to click," he said. "I just wasn't getting my hand on top of the ball. Everything else I liked of what I saw. The lower-half was working right. Today it felt like it kind of clicked a little more for me."
"He's taken the work that he's done on the side and in the sim game into today," manager John Farrell said. "He stayed behind a lot of fastballs. There was improved command, improved velocity."
A faster delivery
Just having a conversation wasn't quite getting Clay Buchholz to speed up his tempo the way the Red Sox coaching staff wanted.
So while Buchholz was throwing in the bullpen between starts, coaches got out a stopwatch to time him between pitches. The idea was to get him down from 26-28 seconds between pitches to 15 seconds — cutting his standing-around time almost in half.
"You grip the ball, and the muscle memory, you feel more comfortable doing it again rather than taking 20 seconds or 25 seconds between pitches," Buchholz said.
"We've tried to shorten the time in between pitches — not so much speeding his delivery, but getting back up on the mound and delivering a pitch," Farrell said. "It was noticeably different today."
Buchholz threw strikes with 31 of his 38 pitches in three shutout innings on Thursday. He struck out four and didn't walk anyone. Mike Napoli hit a three-run home run, his third home run in less than a week, to highlight a 12-5 Red Sox win over the Twins.
To Buchholz, there's a chicken-and-egg phenomenon to working quickly. A pitcher who is working quickly often feels more comfortable, but a pitcher who is feeling comfortable often works more quickly. The reverse can be true, too.
"If you can't throw a first-pitch strike with your fastball, that's where the tempo comes in for me," he said.
From surplus to shortage
Much of the talk about the Red Sox bullpen entering spring training was about depth. It appeared to be obvious that a trade was going to have to be made at some point involving Andrew Bailey or Clayton Mortensen — or that a major-league-quality pitcher such as Alfredo Aceves or Junichi Tazawa was going to have to start the season in the minor leagues.
But lefty Craig Breslow has made only slow progression in his throwing program, and Farrell conceded Thursday that Breslow is expected to start the regular season on the disabled list.
Fellow lefty Franklin Morales has responded favorably to anti-inflammatory medication targeted at discomfort in his back, but Morales, too, is no guarantee to be ready for Opening Day. The plan for Morales was to stretch out and be available to be a depth starter, but that plan has been scrapped.
That leaves Andrew Miller as the only left-handed reliever expected to be on the Opening Day roster. But new acquisition Koji Uehara has been just as lethal against lefties as against righties in his career. Lefties hit .188 off him a year ago, and he struck out 21 of the 71 lefties he faced while walking just one.
The slow progress of Breslow and Morales — combined with the uncertain future of Bard — leaves the bullpen looking much more settled than it did before spring training began.
"Coming into camp, just by numbers, there was a surplus," Farrell said. "[With] some guys out of options, they're limited in what movement you can do with certain guys. This is clear proof that it has a way of sorting itself out at some point."
The rotation
Ryan Dempster will pitch against the Twins at JetBlue Park on Friday night. Chris Hernandez, Alex Wilson and Anthony Carter will follow out of the bullpen. Mike Pelfrey is scheduled to pitch for the Twins on Thursday.
Felix Doubront will pitch against Baltimore at JetBlue Park on Saturday. He'll oppose Orioles phenom Dylan Bundy, one of the top pitching prospects in the game.
Terry Doyle, Joel Hanrahan, Andrew Miller and Bailey will follow Doubront for Boston.
Speaking his mind
Former Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery with the Dodgers, told CBSSports.com that signing with Boston was a mistake.
"It just wasn't the right place for me at the end of my day. I didn't do my homework. Maybe they didn't, either," Crawford said.
Crawford hit .255 in his first year with the Red Sox and said he understands the fans' frustration with him.
"I get it; I didn't perform," he said. "I got the money. I didn't perform. I gave them every reason."
He added that the Boston media was eager to criticize him, and it got to him.
"I took so much of a beating in Boston, I don't think anything could bother me anymore," he said. "They can say what they want — that I'm the worst free agent ever — and it won't get to me. But it bothered me the whole time there…That media was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life."

New Minn. law intended to help felons get jobs
A new Minnesota law has taken effect that will prevent job applicants from having to disclose their criminal records on a job application.
Supporters say the law will give convicted felons a better shot at finding a decent job and turning their lives around. Some employees, however, say they're confused over how the law will work.
A St. Cloud Times report says the so-called "Ban the Box" law took effect Wednesday. It means felons will no longer have to check a box on job applications indicating they have criminal convictions.
That doesn't mean their background won't come up. Employers can still ask the question during an interview and can run background checks. But supporters say applicants can at least address the question, rather than be rejected from the outset.

Back in 1984, when award-winning crime novelist Michael Connelly was still a police beat journalist in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he covered the story of Christopher Wilder, a ghoulish tale of real life crime that has stayed with him throughout all his years as a creator of fiction. If any case ever seemed to bear the description stranger than fiction, this was the one. Despite starting as a routine investigation into the disappearance of two models, this mindboggling case quickly escalated into one of the greatest manhunts of the century. Join Connelly during this edition of Murder by the Book as he revisits Wilder's case, from the sunny Florida morning when Wilder, the successful businessman, sportsman and convicted sex offender skipped town to avoid questioning by the police, to the shocking six-week cross-country murder spree that followed.

New Ivy Tech RN/LPN students for Jan 2011
- 0Oct 29, '10 by HopetohealHi Everyone,Just wanted to start a new post for all of us who just got in the program for this coming January. Would be great to chat with others about our experiences. Personally, I am excited, nervous, scared. Has anyone signed up for classes yet? If so what are you taking? Any advice will be greatly appreciated from those who have travelled this road before us. Am at the FW campus and would love to get to know some of my fellow classmates beforehand too.
- 0Oct 29, '10 by InfinisynthMadison student here, I signed up for classes yesterday. Orientation was Wednesday and we had some upperclassmen come in and give us some helpful study advice. I got my drug test done but still need to get the physical and vaccines etc. A friend of mine that's in the program recommended getting a good stethoscope so I purchased a Littmann master cardiologist from Amazon. It sucked spending all that $$$ but it will be a good investment. I am a little nervous about pharmacology class. During orientation they kept stressing how difficult that class is.
- 0Oct 30, '10 by sunnysideup09Make sure to put your name somehow on your stethoscope..it sucks to lose your stethoscope especially if you spend a lot of money. There are times you have to put your stethoscope down and anyone can pick it up.
- 0Oct 30, '10 by InfinisynthYeah, I've been reading a lot on this message board about how stethoscopes walk off. I'm really gonna try to keep it on my person at all times, I'm also gonna etch my initials in it with a scribe.
- 1Nov 3, '10 by travelcat18Hi and Congrats to you on getting in to the program! I started the ASN program this fall, so I'm almost through my first semester. It's been pretty tough, but my advice to you is to get organized right from the get-go...find a system that works for you. There will be stuff due at various dates for various classes and you don't want to miss anything. Also, I guarantee you will be overwhelmed at the amount of reading that is assigned to you...it's unreal...just find your niche and go with what works. I've found I don't need to read everything (mostly just skim and focus on parts I have trouble with). Also, my study habit of choice is to use flashcards. It helps me learn just by writing the info as I go, then going through the flashcards over and over.
Good luck!!!
- 0Nov 4, '10 by HopetohealThanks for the great advice, Travelcat! I keep hearing things about how difficult things are the first semester. My advisor said that it gets better after that. Still a little unsure of myself. Is there anything that you wished you would have brushed up on or reviewed before starting nursing program? Somehow I don't feel prepared for whats to come. Really feel silly to be doubting myself at this point but I realize now more than ever that eventually someones life may be in my hands. Wow!
- 1Nov 11, '10 by erimoj01Hey guys!! I will be an ASN student in Gary this January and am very excited to start but I am also scared!! I went to orientation on 11-8 but our classes were not in the system yet so I don't know what classes I will be taking yet. For now I am trying to get all the other stuff like the physical and shots done...but pfew, it's alot!!
- 0Nov 14, '10 by LuckyGirlSuze, ASNHello Fellow Students! I'm starting in Jan at the Terre Haute campus. Our orientation is not until the second week in December because it took them so long to get the letters out! I am very nervous and very excited. I am not from the area so I don't know any of my classmates. Can't wait to meet everyone! I would love to find a serious study buddy early in the year so we can succeed together!
- 0Nov 21, '10 by ShquidlyI will be doing the LPN at the Bloomington campus in Jan. I have done my background check, drug test, and the first of my TB tests and I am signed up for all of my classes. From what my schedule looks like it seems like I am not going to be able to work very much but I guess that is for the best. I am super excited to begin! Good luck everyone!

Iggy and the Stooges have announced that their fifth studio release, Ready to Die, will be available on April 30. In a video statement, Iggy Pop hyped the upcoming album:
"My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal," he said. "It's just a pig-headed f-ing thing I have that a real f-ing group when they're an older group - they also make f-ing records."
"They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of f-ing money and then go 'Oh, it wouldn't be as good!' This is not the f-ing Smashing Pumpkins you know, we've got the bald guy and whoever. No. This is the key. It's the only thing I really have left to say. The Stooges are a real group," he added.
Iggy also hinted that the band will be taking the show on the road this spring or summer.

Kevin Mazur's $ELLEBRITY To Premiere Across The Country On Jan 11 In Exclusive Premiere Events
NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Run Rampant and D&E Entertainment ( www.DandEentertainment.com) announced today, a schedule of movie theatre "premiere events" to launch the theatrical and VOD release of Run Rampant's "$ELLEBRITY," a documentary feature film that explores how fame has changed from the highly-structured studio system to the current free-for-all press and paparazzi frenzy, while also addressing important issues such as freedom of the press and the right to privacy. The theatrical premieres are in select cities including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. on Friday, January 11, 2013. Additionally, $ELLEBRITY opens theatrically at the Chinese Theatres in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, January 11, 2013.
In $ELLEBRITY, which premiered at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX, renowned Rock & Roll photographer Kevin Mazur has pulled together an impressive team for his first feature-length documentary about the changing face of celebrity and the many ways that the media has conveyed, defined and even demeaned what it means to be famous today. Candid interviews with Jennifer Aniston, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Sara Jessica Parker and Kid Rock among others help to give a glimpse into the lives of those on the front lines of our increasingly obsessive world of pop culture celebrity.
"We were intrigued with Kevin Mazur's film. The documentary $ELLEBRITY gives the viewer unparalleled insight into the view of celebrity and how it has changed through the years. Exploring society's fascination with pop culture, it also addresses freedom of the press, the degradation of our hard news, and those caught in the camera's eye," said Doug Kluthe and Evan Saxon, Co-Founders of D&E Entertainment."I am so excited to share this film with a National audience - because 'We' are steering the ship, so we might as well take a look at the direction we've got it pointed in!" said Tricia Nolan, Producer of $ELLEBRITY.

The California GenWeb Project
This State is a member
of The USGenWeb Project
As a proud member of the USGenWeb Project, CAGenWeb's mission is to provide a single entry point for all counties and towns within the state of California, where collected data will be stored. The volunteers of CAGenWeb hope you will strike gold!
State Coordinator: Martha A Crosley Graham
Assistant State Coordinators: Claire Martin, Joy Fisher & Jeannette Harper
Brief History of California
California was a colonial province of Spain during the years 1769 to 1821. When European explorers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries sailed along the California coast they took home glowing impressions of an amazing, rich and unspoiled landscape. When Mexican independence was achieved in 1821, California became a northern province. During this Rancho era, traders and settlers from the new United States of America began to find their way west. Consequent tensions between diverse ethnic groups resulted in the Mexican American War of 1846-1848. When gold was found in "them thar hills," droves of fortune seekers of all shapes, sizes and colors headed west permanently impacting local culture and society. Once here, pioneers sent home glowing reports of lands that looked just like the areas they had left behind which offered a fresh start and endless opportunities for success. California became a state September 9, 1850, but the capital city moved from San Jose, to Vallejo, to San Jose, back to Vallejo, to Sacramento, back to Vallejo again, and then to Benicia before the permanent capitol was established at Sacramento in 1854. Information on the formation of California counties can be found on the California Counties Selection List. With a land surface of almost 100 million acres, California is the third largest state in the union. The broad diversity of geography in this state offers habitat to a huge spectrum of plants and animals. Little surprise that people who felt drawn here believe that protecting our animals, plants and rich natural resources is a responsibility that we all must share in perpetuity.
In 2004, California was home to 33,871,648 people originating from every country in the world. Californians have learned to welcome diversity as an exciting condition that lets us enjoy the very best the entire world has to offer right here in our own California backyards!

G Clinic 7f by KORI architecture office
G Clinic 7f is an extension to an existing clinic, providing a floor that's dedicated to male patients.
The perforated screens separate seating areas in the reception and waiting room, where blue, green and black sofas add colour to an otherwise white space.
Small squares also pierce holes in the surface of the reception desk and pale grey squares are painted onto the walls.
Other clinics we've featured include a dental surgery with rounded walls and a clinic in a shopping centre.
Photography is by Hiroshi Ueda.
Here's some text from KORI Architecture Office:
G Clinic 7F
After G clinic 8F was open, a doctor expanded floor space to 7th floor only for male hair restoration medical treatment because number of male patients increased more than a doctor expected.
As for hair restoration medical treatment, the time doctor spends with a patient is short. So there are many patients who are waiting for consulting and accounting. The voids on MDF(t=15mm) panels are arranged as to control meeting of eyes of patients and staff.

Void patterns is expanded on the sliding door, shelfs and wall paper. These layered patterns give feel of depth and sense of privacy.

Here's an emaciated Jessica Biel returning to Vancouver today to film The A-Team, and she totally got dumped by Justin Timberlake. I can tell by the way she's trying to smile at the paparazzi instead of her usual response of punching through their car window and knocking their heads together. Poor thing.
Jessica Biel got dumped
she has ass lips.
Wow, Are you people serious?
I came upon this site for the first time and reading your comments make me sudder for the future of this country.
You people are bunch of asses with mentality of 7 year olds.
Grow up, please. Be a productive citizen, rather than sit and badmouth celebrities who are 10times more talented than you will ever be,
she smiles thru the tears & says "This isn't the first time you know,, there was this boy in 6th grade named billy, then in 7th grade there was kevin, sam, waldo, wilber,…….bla bla bla….poor little rich girl
Like it matters; she's a girl and now she's available to anyone that she wants to bone so it's definitely on.
Jess won't do anal, whereas the Rihanna loves it (like all nigs).
I'd still go for Jess's cunt than Rih's ass any day of the week.
She doesn't look dumped though.Anyway,it's time for her to move on!
if anyone looks close enough, they could see how the jeans are loose on her yet they can't hide how bony her legs are. then throw in all the baggy clothes (an olsen twin trick) and it is obvious that she has an eating disorder.
Sweetie, most girls have no problem finding someone to bone. However, not to get a guy sick of her like JT of Jessica or Cameron is another matter.
Her shoulders are bigger than yours? LMFAO. Little fairy boy, go to the gym. Sounds like you like men anyway.
I think she's fine. I'd like to see her put some more weight back on. Obvious the relationship wasn't that great or else she wouldn't have started dropping so much weight. Go find a man who can appreciate you and eat a goddammed cheeseburger with the works while you're at it. I'm sure there are plenty of worthy guys who would love to watch!
Bah who cares what you jackbags say. I say show me the tits. That's where it's happening! Women with little bitty titties have no purpose in this life and if she has lost them than off with her head I say!
Poor baby Jessica
She got dumped means her ass needs to get pumped
I could care less about JT, but Jessica isn't worth what she thinks she is worth. I defiantly used to think she shit roses until I saw her on a late night talk show and realized that she thought she shit roses as well. It was as if she felt she was having tea with the queen, and she was the queen. Her narcissism is the likely culprit for this latest development.
Jess is filming the A-Team. But the question is: what team is she REALLY playing for? Okay, okay. She broke up with Justin Timberflake. Or did she break up with his cousin/assistant? Hey, I'm not judging, I'm just asking. I'm still going to tape her picture to my hand and whack off with it. I just wanna know if I need to tape a picture of Michelle Rodriguez, or, Kristanna Loken next to it. You know, for the sake of realism.
She needs to stop dating men who can also bone anyone they want. I don't think any man in his right mind who could rail anyone he wants would only stick with one vagine. It just doesn't make sense. She needs to go after non-famous dudes but I'll bet you anything she's way too shallow for that. Well I don't know her so I can't say that but this type of thing will keep happening if she goes after in-demand cock.
Didn't know she had lost a lot of weight. She has the most boneable ass in hollywood and she could probably suck a mean dick with that wide mouth of hers.
If her ass deflated, maybe JT should trade her in for a better model.
(Note: That's the problem with having basically one attractive thing about you. When you lose it, you're just like everybody else.)
She's SO beautiful but why does she look so ill recently. She needs to put on some blush and stop with the nude lipstick it makes her look sickly!

The majority of these posts are stupid. She is beautiful… let's see the women you guys can get with. She looks amazing without makeup… maybe you guys are used to seeing women with your beer goggles on and/or 2 pounds of makeup on. It looks like she has lost weight, but not anything severe. She still looks in a healthy weight range… she's definitely not skinny enough to be the typical runway model.
Such a nice post! Jessica is looking dam hot in that costumes. Hey she got dam hot figure i must say . I love her smile so much. Thanks for sharing this .
