Lifetime went behind the Bell on Monday and unveiled what (allegedly) happened behind the cameras of our favorite childhood sitcom. But instead of Zack Morris running the show, this time it was all about Screech — and the story from outcast Dustin Diamond's perspective.
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, based on Diamond's tell-all memoir, began with the gang -- Dylan Everett as Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Sam Kindseth as Diamond, Tiera Skovbye as Elizabeth Berkley, Julian Works as Mario Lopez, Alyssa Lynch as Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, and Taylor Russell McKenzie as Lark Voorhies — pulling up to their first mall tour unaware their lives were about to change. read more
Lifetime has released the first five minutes of its upcoming Saved by the Bell expose, The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, and it's exactly what you would expect. Well, except for one minor thing.

The scandalous behavior that took place behind the scenes of Saved by the Bell will be chronicled in a new Lifetime movie later this year.
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story will premiere on Lifetime on September 1, Buzzfeed reports. It will be based on interviews with former cast and crew members, as well as the events depicted in Dustin Diamond's 2009 memoir Behind the Bell, which contains stories of cast members doing drugs and sleeping with each other.

I just want to say a quick word about my new product, the K-25 Multi-Role Concealment Holster. In response to customer inquiries, I've developed a Kydex concealment holster, which excels at IWB carry, and offers multi-role adaptability, via the use of accessory attachment hardware. This holster features adjustable ride height, and a 25 degree cant, so that it is optimized for comfortable concealment, at 4:00 on your belt, whether in IWB or OWB mode. Each one is individually hand tuned, for the best balance of retention and draw, using an actual pistol. I'm taking orders now, for M&P 9/.40/.357 FS, M&P 9/.40/.357 C, Glock 17/22/31, Glock 19/23/32, Glock 26/27/33, HK P30, 5" 1911, and 4.25" 1911. Price, including soft synthetic IWB belt loops, as shown, is $67.50, and shipping is $6, to anywhere in the CONUS 48.
PM me, or email me at email@example.com, for estimated turn around time, and availability of other models and accessories.

Keep up with the news by installing RT's extension for . Never miss a story with this clean and simple app that delivers the latest headlines to you.
The critical "Heartbleed" bug reported earlier this week to have affected the security of most of the internet was discovered by researchers at the United States National Security Agency two years earlier, according to a new report.
View full story
Worst of all i would say is the dam drones/robots that they want. One of these days fly them selfs, refeul them self, targeting and so on can be done by a BUG and be turned on the world. Or atomic Weapons. Wait i forgot, The uranium 234 in all these wepons they use today, should be seen as nuclear strike/dirty bombs. o ok NSA, sorry.
Snowden, Manning and Assange are all great heroes for revealing the skulduggery which the USA government and NSA get up to on an otherwise unsuspecting World. USA should give Diego Garcia back to its rightful owners " The Chagos Islanders " who were kicked out of their homeland by USA who used extreme violence and provocation which included the killing of the Islanders pet dogs by the USA military on Diego Garcia. Ron Paul is right.
So the NSA seems to have been willing to compromise the security of the entire World Wide Web in the interest of US National Security? It wouldn't surprise me, but I wonder how many bank accounts have been wiped out, how many industrial secrets have been distributed to competitors, how many other criminals have gained vital information to the detriment of their victims, and how the United States can claim moral authority superior to that of other nations when it allows this vile betrayal of its own citizens?
Gary Proffitt - dude just knock it off this is not an adverting column for your pet Russia projects. It's an article about the NSA.... stay on topic and don't pollute the comments
Ri ght. So, Gary Profitt, you are commenting on the wrong article. This comment section is about the NSA.
I think karen there is no hope for America anymore, they have lost their collective moral identity. Some where in between American idol and biggest losers lies their collective soul.
But that aside someone in congress has floated a bill to identify firstly how much each agency is actually paid by us to do these heinous deeds...
Yes Ron, I heard about that bill too. As for your hopelessness about the state of our nation, I can understand that feeling, but as history shows, the pendulum swings. It better start swinging a little faster is all I have to say!
Why is RT all about USA???.... its getting boring please turn towards Asia (china, Japan). Leave d US alone, its not as if their citizens see this news channel.
Until you get the full picture, the decisions you end up with are faulty. Our media and Gov't have vilified RT, but I can attest after viewing it for over 3 years, a good portion of their previous analysis has turned out to be true.
RT has bureaus all over the world. We get RT and RT America, which is a vital news source as are many other alternative and foreign news. We need something other than the propaganda our own US news is feeding us. They are trying to dumb us down, only the elite and wealthy can afford a good education. Inform yourselves!
[quote name='ron humphreys' time='13.04.2014 19:23']
.... "In total though the message remains the same…they are no longer working in our interests but in concert with those who would do us harm.
Defun ding them is the most reasonable option."
You are SO right. But you know the Congress won't do that. We have to demand accountability. Yes, the NSA needs to go. Revelation after revelation shows they are so out of control, it's like science fiction - but it's not! It's reality - and people are starting to think this is the new normal. NO, it's not, don't ever get used to this Orwellian nightmare.
Are you sure NSA found out about it two years ago? I think the NSA put pressure on the program writer to make the heartbleed defect. Then they added it to their tool box.
The NSA did not write heartbleed. A German programmer - who actually wrote it - accidentally wrote buggy code.
About 10,000 Russians, some waving Ukrainian flags, rallied in central Moscow today to protest at what they say is a government crackdown on independent media intended to stifle debate about the crisis in Ukraine.
No they didn't
It was likely 'created' and 'launched' by the US Government to access accounts from services that were not as willing as Microsoft, Facebook and AT&T to share their users info with the Government.
So if the US government knew about this for two years and there have been people or organisations suffering financial loss due to heartbleed, that would make an interesting court case in the land of litigation.
I have to say this... DUH!!!!!!
- They "discovered&quo t; (lol!) heartbld. Therefore, they immediately used it to break their oath of office and spy on us.
- ^this^ means it's time to put our complete trust in politicians, the media and the 1% who own them all.
Is this realy something new?
If it did not know about Heartbleed, NSA was incompetent then.
If it did know, NSA is disingenuous now.
Yes, NSA could be both competent and honest.
But Hamlet did not think similarly of Ophelia:
"[A]re you honest?"
"My lord?"
"Are you fair?"
"What means your lordship?"
"That if you be honest and fair, your honesty should admit no discourse to your beauty."

Saw this on tv this morning, and happened to have two bone-in pork butts in the fridge. I really like the rub - less fuss than others I've tried. The aroma of this cooking all day was intoxicating. I did turn every hour as suggested, and am glad I did. The end result is tender and flavorful. As with other pernil recipes I've tried, the seasoning does not penetrate through the meat, making the outer slices very flavorful, the inner slices not so much. I'll serve the outer slices tonight with mashed yukon golds and sauteed zucchini and corn. I'll add sauce for pulled pork or tacos to the less seasoned portion. Perfect for my rainy Saturday.

The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America (2013)
by George Packer

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a very creative and complex book. If one hundred people read it I believe you would get that many interpretations. My take is that over the last forty years our country has come under the complete control of the banks. the large corporations and the government who back each other at the expense of the "little man". The poster boy for this is a man named Dean Price who has a creative way to replace the glut of our foreign oil dependence with renewable biofuel produced at the local level to produce good jobs and keep wealth within the local community. Mr Price has been thwarted at every level by the powers mentioned above.There are many other examples. Very thought provoking..
The Unwinding is a book that everyone should read. It does not really raise any issues that have not already been spoken about as it relates to society changes since 1980. However, by introducing real people along with known celebrities such as Joe Biden, Jay-Z etc. it creates a contrast to the haves and have nots. This book did win the National Book Award for Non-fiction and Packer is part of the Packer writing family. I enjoyed the book but I was looking for some context and spin from the author and what he had presented. I guess he felt that we would draw the proper conclusion from the stories he presented. I did see the deck stacked against the poor in both background and education. However, I did see a lot of poor decisions made by people looking for the home run instead of a single or double. The topic of income inequality is out there and hopefully will be dealt with in the upcoming mid term election. A healthy working middle class would help all segments of society. I think this is Packer's message. If you already knew this, then this book will reinforce this position and you can choose to skip 430 pages, but if you think that it is all fair and that anyone can get to the top, then you better read this.
George Packer attempts to tell the story of the unwinding of the American post war consensus, unapologetically using the techniques adopted by the great Dos Passos in "USA". He follows the stories of 4 people closely - Dean Price, born on a tobacco farm but with entrepreunerialism in his DNA, Tammy Thomas, a factory worker from Pennsylvania turned activist, trying her best to give her children a better life as American manufacturing and manufacturing towns fall apart, Jeff Conaughton, lawyer, lobbyist, Biden activist and Peter Thiel, Silicon valley innovator.
Interspersed with these are profiles of the great and the good - Oprah, Collin Powell, Elizabeth Warren, Newt Gingrich et al - and a significant exposure of the real estate bubble in Florida and its impact on ordinary people caught in the get rich quick illusion of house flipping
I enjoyed the book a lot. I found myself full of admiration for the resilience of people like Thomas and Price. They are constantly dealt a bad hand from factors outside their control - especially in the case of Thomas. As the song goes, they get knocked down and they get back up again. But I was also struck forcefully - as must be the authors intent - by the deepening inequality thats increasingly built into the system. The difference between the world of Connaughton and Thiel, who despite occasional setbacks, are cushioned and protected by their education and networks, and the lives of some of the Florida residents described in the book, living in their cars, is very very stark.
The pen portraits of famous Americans are good fun; Winfrey and Gingrich are ripped into, Powell gets a sympathetic review and the appraisal of Jay Z is acute. But its the main protaganists that carry the book. A greater number of these would have made the book even better; the immigrant experience for example is not covered and surely America is nothing without its immigrants. Some older citizens would also have been welcomed
But its still a very compelling read
This book won the National Book Award prize for nonfiction in 2013. It is the 30th such winner I have read. It tells of a guy who often worked for Joe Biden, of a black worker in Youngstown, Ohio, of a guy who tried to build a business,,of Newt Gingrich, of Tampa, and Silicon Valley,and of others. Many of these accounts are of failure and bitterness and it does sort of reflect the mood of pessimism which pemeated John Dos Passos' fictional U.S.A (which I read Aug 17, 1949). I did not enjoy reading this book because of the gloomy things talked about. It is distressing to see good people beaten down by conditions. There is a discussion of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which always seemed so pointless to me and reading this book did nothing to change my view of that. Neither Newt Gingrich nor Joe Biden comes out looking very good and while one could read with satisfaction of the elections of 2008 and 2012, one has to realize that those triumphs did not do as much good as one hoped--but at least they avoided the bad which would have followed if they had not turned out as they did.
A fascinating look at the past 35+ years of American culture, policies, politics and the effect on everyday Americans. Packard follows 3 very diverse individuals over this time period and through their stories and mini bios on big names like Gingrich and Jay-Z paints a portrait of how we got to where we are today. Basically a trail of corporate/political corruption not unlike the robber barons of the gilded age that has lead to the largest gap between rich and poor in a century. It should be taken as a warning of the second great depression that is coming because the people in power in Washington and on Wall St have no intention of changing policies that would prevent another collapse.

A riveting examination of a nation in crisis, from one of the finest political journalists of our generation
Our American democracy is beset by a sense of crisis. Seismic shifts during a single generation have created a country of winners and losers, allowing unprecedented freedom while leaving the social contract in pieces, bringing the political system to the verge of breakdown, and setting citizens adrift to find new paths forward. In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of America over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives.
The Unwinding journeys through the lives of several Americans, including Dean Price, the son of tobacco farmers, who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South; Tammy Thomas, a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city; Jeff Connaughton, a Washington insider who oscillates between political idealism and the lure of organized money; and Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who questions the Internet's significance and arrives at a radical vision of the future.
The narrative combines these intimate stories with biographical sketches of the era's leading public figures, from Newt Gingrich to Jay-Z, and with collages of headlines, slogans, and songs that capture the flow of events and undercurrents. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation. Packer's novelistic and kaleidoscopic history of the new America is his most ambitious work to date.

Made in London, funded by Qatar. Rising 95 stories to stand virtually alone in the London skyline, the skyscraper known as the Shard, celebrates its "physical completion." Watch time-lapse video of its construction. Photo: AP
LONDON—Despite the British penchant for cheeky self-flagellation, few would argue that London doesn't deserve a prominent spot among the world's most vibrant and delightfully quirky cities.
The Shard of London
Rising 95 stories to stand virtually alone in the London skyline, the skyscraper celebrates its 'physical completion' with plenty of British pomp this week.
The phallic structural girth of the Shard either adds or detracts from that well-earned reputation, depending upon whom you ask. Rising 95 stories to stand virtually alone in the London skyline, the skyscraper celebrates its "physical completion" with plenty of British pomp this week.
The Qatari prime minister is slated to join the Duke of York in the official inauguration Thursday. Along with a parade of dignitaries, they will ceremonially herald the European Union's tallest building with handshakes, back pats and talk of teamwork, diplomatic relations and job creation. Probably no mention of the Shard backlash.
With the London Philharmonic providing the audio backdrop, lasers are to light up the night sky, beaming across town to touch several landmarks: the London Eye, the Gherkin, Tower Bridge. At least a couple of those were seen by some as monstrosities in their time, as well.
This city is getting good at these kinds of events. From the tireless and tiring festivities of the Jubilee, to the ultimately deflating Euro 2012 run for England's soccer team and, now, up to the Olympics, there is no let-up in sight.
Whether it's an affront or not, Londoners might as well ring in the Shard while they're at it. Any excuse to fill a pint. But better hurry: the French are about to build something taller. Touché!
Before the official party kicks off, the Shard public-relations team on Wednesday invited dozens of media members to an embargoed chat with several key players in the 12-year odyssey of turning the Shard into reality.
Two young ladies awaited visitors out front. They made sure we weren't trying to sneak in. Then a doorman opened a portal to the still-unfinished lobby.
A security guard handed us off to another guard in the lift. Maybe he was just an elevator guy.
Almost there ... third floor. Fourth. Fifth. How about that weather? Sure is muggy outside. Up we go. Not to the top of the 310-meter structure, unfortunately—just to the 14th floor. Still, the floor-to-ceiling walls of windows offered a mesmerizing, if a bit gray and dreary, view of the Thames and the newly dwarfed skyline of Canary Wharf in the distance.
Alongside this unfamiliar vista of London was the much more familiar view of journalists loading up on free coffee and croissants.
The first to take the microphone and address the gathering was Sheikh Abdullah Bin Saoud Al Thani, the governor of Qatar's central bank and the chairman of the board of directors of Shard Funding Ltd. Qatar owns some 95% of the estimated $2.4 billion project.
This July 2 aerial photo made available by Newscast shows the Shard, Western Europe's tallest building, towering over London. Associated Press
He delivered a soft-spoken welcome and a requisite "thank-you" that was almost drowned out by the clicking of cameras.
Then Irvine Sellar, the chairman of the Sellar Property Group, echoed the gratitude and detailed plans. The Shard is expected to be filled up by 2014. It will contain offices, residences, a five-star hotel, restaurants and a public viewing gallery.
Ali Shareef Al-Emadi, the head of the Qatar National Bank, followed up by talking about the difficulty of pushing through a project of this magnitude in a tough economic climate. Incidentally, the building, described by Sellar as a "vertical town," isn't Sharia law–compliant.
Renzo Piano, the architect behind the whole thing, spoke wistfully of his "baby," its "poetic soul" and the journey to making it a reality. "I should not say too much because I don't like when singers, before singing, they explain their song," he said, with Italian flair and cadence. "London started here ... and we're bringing energy back to this part of the city."
After beaming with pride for much of his speech, Mr. Piano was caught a bit off guard when one reporter asked him: "How do you justify this building dominating this landscape and dominating other landmarks in London?"
The architect paused for a bit. "Every classic building was modern at one time," he said. Even St. Paul's. "You have to be good. We do a very dangerous job as architects, because if you make a mistake, it lasts for a long time."
He said he wanted to make sure this building, shrouded in controversy since its inception, won't be seen as a symbol of arrogance and a display of power. More of a "sparkling, gentle spire." More about community.
Oh, and if you want to own a piece of this fortress of humility, hope and neighborly spirit, there are some apartments that can be yours for a reported £50 million ($78 million) each. Give or take.

Cataract surgery is taking another step forward with a new type of lens implant that corrects for distance, intermediate and near vision, as well as for astigmatism—a condition in which vision is blurred due to an elliptical or football-shaped cornea. By correcting both range of focus and astigmatism, patients may be free of glasses or contacts for the first time in decades.
We all make errors. Some we can control, others simply are part of our biology. Such is the case with 'refractive errors,' a collection of common eye distortions that affect vision.
Since LASIK was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1998, it's come a long way, ushering in one of the most popular elective laser procedures ever developed.
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world, and more than 22 million Americans have them, according to the National Institutes of Health. Vision decreases as the lens at the front of the eye becomes clouded. But there is good news.
The eye is supposed to be round like a tennis ball, but some people's eyes are more suited to football than tennis. If the clear front part of the eye, the cornea, is somewhat elongated, vision isn't as sharp as it should be. This condition, known as astigmatism, used to be difficult to treat, but new technologies in glasses, contact lenses and corrective eye surgeries have changed that.
Parents generally make sure their kids receive all the medical care they need. Immunizations, checkups and developmental screenings are among the pantheon of regular pediatric care. And a complete eye exam should be part of that list.

Very few people have perfect vision. Even if you're born with perfect eyesight, most eyes eventually develop some sort of flaw that necessitates vision correction. Astigmatism is one of the most common types of refractive errors in which the cornea—the clear front part of the eye through which light is focused—is not perfectly round. It's like trying to see clearly through a distorted windowpane, and blurry vision is the result.
Eye-chart (selective focus)
Thank goodness for sports analogies when it comes to explaining medicine. Take astigmatism, for example. The normal cornea is shaped like a basketball. The cornea with astigmatism is shaped like a football. With a perfectly round cornea, light is focused into one point on the retina, giving us undistorted vision. The football shape causes multiple points of focus—not good for visual acuity.
Eye-chart (selective focus)
When a small child can't hear, he doesn't develop speech normally, and when he can't see, learning suffers. That's why early detection in both areas is key to giving children a leg up on later achievement.
In the last few years, surgical correction of vision has taken quantum leaps in precision and safety. "When we first started reporting on LASIK vision correction, 95 percent of patients achieved at least 20/40 vision, which is what you need to get a driver's license," says Dr. Jay Pepose of Pepose Vision Institute. "Then we started reporting the percentage who achieve 20/20 vision. Now we know that young healthy people can see better than 20/20, around 20/16." Pepose adds that with additional enhancements in refractive surgery, most people can achieve vision of 20/12.
Well, we knew it would happen: Our arms are too short for reading. The beginning of the end, our vanity tells us. We're doomed to tri-focals, or at the very least, progressives. Not so fast. Seventy-six million boomers attract a lot of R & D dollars. Manufacturers are starting to flood the market with multifocal contact lenses. Presbyopia means 'old eye' and involves the loss of the eye's ability to focus on close objects. It's a part of normal aging and occurs gradually. Todd LaPoint and Philip Treu, optometrists with Eye Care Associates, report fitting more and more of the new lenses to help boomers get by in style.

The last thing most teenagers expect is vision loss. Yet the teen years are the most common age of onset for a condition that causes progressive deterioration of eyesight. Although it does not result in total blindness, at least one in 10 people who have keratoconus (KC) eventually require a corneal transplant to maintain adequate vision for daily tasks.
When it comes to state-of-the-art technology, the eyes have it. In the last few years, advances in technology have improved every aspect of eye care from diagnosis to treatment. Two local practices, SureVision Eye Centers and Mulqueeny Eye Centers, merged in 2003 to bring the most up-to-date technology to our area. Owned by Lawrence Gans, M.D.; Sean Mulqueeny, O.D.; and Edward Doisy, M.D.; the Centers, in Missouri and Illinois, offer a variety of services and experienced doctors who are committed to patient education.
Springtime brings its fabulously bright, crisp flora to the area, making up for winter's dearth of color. But for people suffering from cataracts, the foliage isn't so much sunny as it is blurry. What can be done to restore or prevent the loss of vision resulting from cataracts? We asked local experts about the latest advances in cataract treatment.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The customization of my invites and response cards took a little bit of time, but the design experts got back to me quickly and the process was fun and painless. I am very happy with my results. The paper quality was exactly what I wanted. I would suggest ordering samples before hand so you can get an idea of what paper you like best and to see what the invite with look like as well."
"My fiance and I loved the wedding invitation we ordered. We ordered in the pearl paper (which is a little thicker). I adore the design on the back of the card. The only negative was we had to pay extra for stamps because of the square shape."
"Great invitations for a destination beach wedding. Love the color options, & paper/print quality. The shipping is a little higher on these because they're square, but worth the extra cost. Highly recommend requesting a poof review for edits/recommendations. They came out perfect!"
"Extremely pleased with the invitations. Service was excellent and shipping was very quick. It actually printed and delivered in 3 days! Beautiful design and cards. Would highly recommend!!!"
"These invitations turned out GREAT! The designers were quick to make adjustments I requested. They sent the electronic proof the day after I completed my order. I got the pearly finish and I am so glad I did. Just make the card look glamorous without looking glitzy. Sure, the "glitter" isn't real glitter, but they still turned out beautifully!"

Editor's review
From the people who brought you the luxury design of the Hotel Stary comes a new brand of luxury shopping, right on the Market Square. Pasaz 13 was newly remodelled from 2006 to 2007, and while the shops inside are a big draw, the centre itself can be an attraction for architecture buffs, with its modern-meets-exposed brick interiors. However, if your main goal is to spend that money that's been burning holes in your designer jeans, Pasaz 13 is the place to go, with a bookstore, music shop, jewellery, wine, and of course, plenty of fashion choices.

Absolutely amazing place! The architecture, how it looks inside is perfect. A lot of space, quiet- you are not spending half an hour just to pass! Exclusive shops, high fashion, you can get a perfect suit, shoes and get a perfect customer service focused only on you. I highly recommend to visit this shopping center!

|Hi Tom,
Do you still have any of the red epi left? I have a white epi plant (we call it a night blooming cerus-is that the same thing?) that is growing very well and the cuttings have taken quite nicely for many of my friends (actually, my plant is 3rd generation cutting!). Mine hasn't bloomed yet, but the plant it came from has a few times. Would you be willing to trade a cutting for a cutting? I'm not sure how to send a plant, but if you're interested, please let me know via email email@example.com.
|Have orange flowered Epi to trade for red Epi if interested.
|Hi, I have a heirloom christmas cactus that is over 100 years old I could share some cuttings with you for some of your red orchid cactus cuttings.
p.s. we could make it a larger trade if you like.
|Has anyone else who set up a trade with Tom heard or received anything from him recently?

Thursday morning, the northwest part of Great Bend is going to sustain significant damage from a powerful tornado that will touch down and cause multiple injuries, requiring the response of emergency workers from around the area — as long as it doesn't rain, that is. In case of severe weather, the tornado will be postponed.
Fire Chief Mike Napolitano noted that — so far as the city officials know — there will be no actual tornado on Thursday morning, but there will be a local disaster drill to help agencies prepare for a real disaster.
So, if there is the threat ...

Flash mob, that is.
Go ahead. Search YouTube for "Messiah" and "Flash mob," and you'll find how many shopping centers, food courts and malls, from Cleveland to Seattle, have staged these wonderful "spontaneous" performances of the "Hallelujah Chorus."
The fad has been studied by news outlets as varied as NPR and the Kansas City Star.
Unfortunately, not all the planned performances have been harmonious. One mall in Sacramento had to be evacuated because a planned "Hallelujah" event became too crowded. And in Europe, the obvious religious theme of Handel's "Messiah" proved too much for one shopping mall, which refused to allow a flash mob performance because the shopping center, according to a spokesman, "is open to the general public and therefore must remain impartial towards any one religion or political leaning."
Good grief.
Anyway: Deacon Eric Stoltz has a great summary of the phenomenon, along with the clip below, which remains one of the most cleverly executed renditions. If you haven't seen this one yet, you're in for a treat.

Dierks Bentley was due his own headlining tour. Last summer he stole the show with unbridled energy while touring with Miranda Lambert. Nearly nine months later hes back at PNC Music Pavilion (formerly Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre) kicking off his Riser tour and first time headlining outdoor amphitheaters.
Bentley frontloaded the set with party-starters and drinking songs after emerging from beneath the curved floor-to-ceiling screen that made it look as if he and his five-piece band were performing at an old drive-in movie screen (which is actually a really cool idea). Bentley jump-started the show with the sing-along 5-1-5-0 (from 2012s Home) followed by another No. 1 2007s Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go).
The up-tempo drinking songs kicked off with Am I the Only One. As it came to an end, Bentley signaled one of his stage techs for two cold ones and pulled a blonde woman on stage to shotgun a beer with him. She almost beat me, he said as she returned to the front row and he segued into Tip It On Back. He followed it with his current single Drunk On A Plane.
He finally took a breath and mentioned that hed waited 10 years to headline, having played the amphitheater with Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, and Lambert. He seemed exhilarated.
He strummed his acoustic guitar in the spotlight at the tip of a short catwalk beginning Every Mile a Memory. In a string of No. 1 songs, the 2006 hit was special eliciting an ah yeah! from the burly young men to my right. Road footage rolled, which included sweet videos of Bentley and his three small children.
Bentley pulled four tracks from the new album Riser. The darker Bourbon in Kentucky and the title track (reserved for the first encore) made the cut.
He referred to 2010s bluegrass-centered album Up On The Ridge with the sole title cut, then ventured out into the crowd with the bulk of his band to perform songs like Settle for a Slowdown from a platform erected right behind the front-of-house soundboard. He shared a beer with a fan. And when he sent the players back to the stage he introduced them like athletes charging onto a football field before heading back to the main stage himself while singing Come a Little Closer.
As the show neared its end, Bentley mentioned the old pickup truck he drove from Arizona to Nashville years ago with his father, who died in 2012. It was similar to the introduction he gave last summer when he introduced a then brand-new song to the Charlotte audience.
But this time he chose to end his set on the slower, but powerful I Hold On, which I think speaks for the new material on Riser. I thought it was a great way to cap the show.
Of course no headliner is ever truly done. The lights barely went down before he and his band were back for Riser, What Was I Thinking (Little White Tank Top), and Sideways.
Opening acts Jon Pardi, Chase Rice, and Chris Young appeared each with a red Solo cup in hand to help out somewhat comically on the latter. Bentley returned once more for Home, even handing a red guitar (that his bandmate had been playing not his own prized acoustic) to a birthday girl down front.
Young country artists Pardi and former Survivor: Nicaragua runner-up Rice kicked off the show with short sets. It was somewhat of a homecoming show for Rice, who is best known for co-writing Florida Georgia Lines Cruise. He worked at Hendrick Motorsports before heading off to Nashville.
The more experienced Young employed video screens and played a longer set as night fell. It kicked off with the title track to his latest album A.M. and 2009s hit Gettin You Home (The Black Dress Song). He also covered the Doobie Brothers China Grove just a short skip down the road from the locale that shares the songs name.
By the time Pardi hit the stage, the rain had let up. And although sprinkles hit my windshield on the way home on Interstate 485, the rain stayed at bay for most of the show making for a perfect night to open your first big-time summer headlining tour here.

Real Sociedad striker Carlos Vela says that he never enjoyed his time at Arsenal, amid speculation that he could be set for a return.
The 25-year-old, who spent large parts of his seven years as an Arsenal player out on loan, moved to Sociedad permanently in 2012 and hit 16 La Liga goals during the last campaign.
Vela has been heavily linked with a move back to Arsene Wenger's side after it became apparent there was a clause in his contract which would allow the Gunners to repurchase him for a reported £3.3m.
Vela made 29 Premier League appearances for Arsenal - scoring three times - but the Mexico international insists he is now settled in Spain.
"The majority of Sociedad's players are from the youth system and this has turned the dressing room into something more familiar," he told beIN SPORTS.
"I never felt comfortable in London and I never enjoyed it, however, when I got to Sociedad, I found a place where I was very happy, where I'm enjoying myself every day.
"The English game is very straightforward. Here, the difference is that there are more touches of the ball and that benefits me."

(Updates with analyst comment in fourth paragraph.)
June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Emerging-market equity funds attracted about $820 million in the week ended June 1, snapping two consecutive weeks of outflows, according to Citigroup Inc.
Funds investing in developing-nation stocks globally took in $677 million while those focusing on Asia, excluding Japan, drew $270 million, Citigroup analysts Markus Rosgen, Kelly Kwok and Yue Hin Pong wrote in a report today, citing figures from EPFR Global. Latin America funds had net inflows of $104 million, while those for Europe, the Middle East and Africa "lagged" behind, according to the report.
Stocks in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are valued at 11.1 times estimated earnings, less than a multiple of 12.7 for MSCI World Index of developed nations. The index for developing equities rose 0.1 percent to 1,160.51 as of 10:57 a.m. in Singapore, set for the biggest weekly rally in six weeks.
"Investors like the stronger global emerging market growth outlook and attractive valuations," Rosgen said in an e-mail to Bloomberg.
China's inflation will probably peak at the end of this month, averting a hard landing for the economy, China Daily cited former Chinese central bank adviser Fan Gang as saying in Hong Kong yesterday. South African economic growth accelerated to the fastest pace in a year in the first quarter as the lowest interest rates in three decades spurred manufacturers to restock to meet rising demand, according to a June 1 report by Statistics South Africa.
U.S. Growth Slows
Emerging-market equities have outpaced their developed- nation peers this week, with the MSCI World Index set for a 0.9 percent weekly drop. Reports this week showed U.S. manufacturing and consumer confidence cooled, while data from ADP Employer Services missed economists' forecasts for jobs growth.
The dollar headed for a weekly drop versus most major peers amid signs of a faltering U.S. recovery and after Moody's Investors Service said yesterday it may put the government's Aaa credit rating on review for a downgrade. The Dollar Index, which tracks the currency against those of six major trading partners, reached the lowest level in almost a month today.
The weaker U.S. dollar and a "softening in inflation readings" also helped boost inflows to higher-yield emerging markets, Citigroup's Kwok said in a separate e-mail.

I wa just wondering how we can write a script in SIMS.
I was asked to write script in Sims about -
taking register and
sorting home page to train the staff
any help appreciated
What should the 'script' do?
Looks like what you're after is some instructions on how to configure the home page and how to teach staff to take the register?
I have seen one successful script written for SIMS in VBScript, it just sent the neccessary keys to SIMS to control it, but it's not a fool proof way of doing things and I wouldn't recommend your average staff member use it...
looks like i have to do lot of homework
I have a couple of scripts that i've written, one publicised see earlier post with link. But, i think what you really want are instructions for the users, in which case, your LA will or should provide some instructions either directly or via the local SIMS Support team.
Whether or not you are supported by Capita direct, you should be allowed to set up a SupportNet account and access all the free resources that Capita have available. I do believe that there was an LA that didn't like (didn't allow?) this, but you should be fine.
Go to :
and register if you don't already have access.
Next you can download some QRS - Quick Reference Sheets. These are provided periodically by Capita for new features or for updates to old ones. They are even posted out to Capita supported Schools, not sure about others, but you can always download the pdfs and print them yourself. You coud also make your own instructions based on these.
Once you are logged in, on the homepage there is a search box, just search for "QRS" and you'll get a huge list. I'll attach some for now, but you should get an account and download your own.
Another thing you could look at doing is making training videos, i've done this for things like running reports, using a program such as Macromedia Captivate. Microsoft now has a free tool that can do this called Expressions, which will record actions you carry out on the screen. I find, a visual demo is much easier for people to understand than a simple handout.
There are some old ones here: vikpaw misc i haven't updated for a while because FTP is blocked from here and i have to smudge out names for all my new ones.
The best thing however, is to run small labs where the staff can try out the instructions straight away, nothing beats doing it yourself and motor memory.

Fr. Rausch gains some sympathy for Lay Evangelical Catholics
Another Generation Gap
By Thomas P. Rausch
Are the concerns of Catholic theologians changing? It seems so. The concerns of younger Catholics in the academy today are different, perhaps considerably different, from those of my own generation of theologians. First of all, some younger theologians seem uncomfortable with the enormous polarization in the church today, and with the anger that so often seems to accompany it. Also evident are the "new apologists," a group of conservative Catholics—Karl Keating, Peter Kreeft, Thomas Howard, Scott Hahn, Patrick Madrid and Mark Shea, to name some of the most prominent—who are enormously popular with many more conservative Catholics.
I've been critical of the way the new apologists do theology and their sense of what Catholicism needs today, and I remain so. For example, Robert Sungenis's Catholic Apologetics International Web site (www.catholicintl.com) takes Pope John Paul II to task for his meeting at Assisi on Jan. 24, 2002, at which representatives of the world religions prayed for peace alongside one another. To Sungenis, this suggested that God accepts the worship of "pagans" and hears their prayers.
But at the same time, I have come to be more sympathetic to some of the new apologists' concerns.
The rest of the article is here, but you gotta subscribe to read it.
Fr. Rausch took a rather high-handed approach to the "new apologists" several years ago, eliciting a sound rebuttal from Karl Keating called "No Apologies from the New Apologists". Essentially, Rausch came out sounding like a high priest offended that the hoi polloi were infringing on his turf. Here, he seems to be slowly arriving at the acknowledgement that the voracious response of huge numbers of people to the actual proclamation of the Faith might indicate that the American ecclesial establishment has not been entirely tuned in to the needs of the flock.
He still has the bad habit of lumping all Catholic evangelists together (note that his poster boy is not Peter Kreeft, Scott Hahn or Karl Keating (typical mainstream figures) but extremist and flat-footed Rad Trad Bob Sungenis) and casting them as "simplistic" people who are just looking for one dimensional "answers". In my experience, most of the people I know involved in Catholic evangelization and apologetics struggle *against* the demand of a certain percentage of the audience to have simple answers for everything (see, for instance, my essay Catholic "Officialdom" and Theological Ambiguity). That's the normal life of folks at Catholic Answers, not the endless dispensation of pat answers. And that goes in spades for Scott, who is one of the most nuanced and intelligent readers of Scripture and of the Tradition that I know.
Yes, the new apologists write for a popular audience. Jesus preached for popular audiences. It's where the gospel is supposed to go. And yes, they do think the Church has definite things to say and definite things to deny in plain English without a lot of throat clearing. But no, they are not people longing for the question and answer formulae of the Baltimore Catechism as a model for existence. The sooner the ecclesial establishment that nurtured Fr. Rausch's worldview sees this, the sooner they can take more seriously the gaping pastoral needs that lay Catholic evangelists are trying to address.
My own story may be helpful here. My experience of RCIA was horrible–twice. You can read about it here. It's this sort of wholesale distortion of the Faith, or utter failure to address attacks on it, that motivates new Catholics to help those after them, so they don't have to endure what we endured.
I am glad Fr. Rausch is finally beginning to see what we've been seeing for quite a number of years now–and to affirm rather than attack our efforts to address the problem.

Dieting excessively or not eating enough.
Not brushing or flossing regularly to remove food particles from the teeth and gums.

The government says the fighters responsible for suicide attacks are from the Yemeni wing of al-Qaeda [Reuters]
At least 11 people have been killed by two suicide bombers in separate attacks targeting pro-government tribesmen in Yemen's volatile south, local officials and tribal sources said.
The first bomber approached a group of people in the town of Mudiyah on Sunday and greeted them, shaking their hands one by one, before detonating explosives that killed him and three others.
The second attack, which killed eight people, took place about 35km away from Mudiyah in the al-Arqub area, where the bomber drove up to a tribal checkpoint and blew himself up. A number of people were wounded in the attack.
Mudiyah is about 50km northeast of the coastal town of Shaqra, which on Wednesday became the third town to fall into anti-government fighters' hands.
Fighters have exploited a local security vacuum to seize three towns in the southern province of Abyan, including its capital Zinjibar, in the past three months.
The government has said the fighters are from the Yemeni wing of al-Qaeda, but analysts say other local groups may be at work.
President Saleh is recovering in neighbouring in Saudi Arabia after injuries he sustained in June when his palatial compound came under attack.
Opponents of Saleh, who was previously backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia as a partner in their counterterrorism strategy, accuse him of encouraging armed groups to show the dangers of Yemen without him. Both the US and Saudi Arabia are anxious that upheaval in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state will give al-Qaeda's Yemen-based wing more room to launch attacks on the region and beyond.
