okay, are you kidding me, timberfake?Originally Posted by joejoesmoe
C'mon Tavares...I'm mixed and I dig a lot of white celebs...you must too. A hot guy is a hot guy...and wiggers like Timberlake are even hotter.
"Yo mama is so fat she can't even jump to a conclusion!"
So because he's wearing a white shirt, that makes him black? I figure you, being part black, would not make stereotypical comments like that. Because a person looks or acts a certain way, it defines who they are? I really wonder whether you're serious in everything you say, or just an attention whore.Originally Posted by tavares
I don't get what the white shirt has to do with anything.Originally Posted by joejoesmoe
But if you want to take me to task on any and everything I have to say, then do a little research. It's not just me thinking that timberlake is trying to assimilate. White people and black people alike have noticed his mannerisms, his conversational vocal inflections... the fact he's around a mob of black people all the time -- in his camp and in his social circle --
if I started singing merengue, speaking spanish, speaking english with a spanish accent, was around latinos all the time -- professionally and personally, being asked to host the 50th anniversary show honoring a high profile latino record label... and I was ASIAN... would you think someone would be ignorant for thinking I was trying to be something other than my Asian ethnicity, or would you think someone would at least have reason to wonder?
That's all I'm saying. I'm seeing him forever surrounding himself with black people and I'm just wondering, what's the deal? It's like once he got out of his N*SYNC world, he just gravitated to this... "other" world. As a black person (that's my primary identification... I don't pull the Mariah Carey and list all my ethnicities thinking that people will see something OTHER THAN my black ass), I thought it was cool -- at first. A southern white boy being down with the black musical movement. But, for me, it's starting to get just a little too uncomfortable -- so I said something.
Hey i admire the way you argue, its very developed and interesting. I also think you may have a vaild point.
But, and please dont hate me are call me superfcial but i come on to this website to chat about the men, not issues of race, ethnicity, are anything else. I just feel that there is a time and a place for your views, and this forum isnt that.
Lets get back to talking about Justin's body! lol
I see your point, but the hip hop culture is one of the best things to happen between, rather among, the races. Look at the success of Russell Simmons, Sean Combs, etc. So, when I see guys like Justin Timberlake honoring "black" culture or who want to be a part of it, that's cool. Maybe the discomfort creeps in when it looks like someone is trying to co-opt that culture. For example, if most hip hop labels were owned by whites, that would absolutely suck. Fortunately, the industry for the most part is run by successful, driven black Americans, and I love it. But based on history, black Americans deserve to reserve some suspicion.Originally Posted by tavares
You don't see what the white shirt is about? I mentioned it because of your previous post of you including the pic of him wearing a white shirt. "You're Not Black." Well? Tell me, what is it about that photo that makes him black? Or is it that he's can't be surrounded by black people? What's wrong with wanting to associate yourself with black people? Maybe he's surrounded by them because they just may be friends, regardless of the fact that theyre black. So if I were friends with you, people would then think that I was black/latino because I'm surrounding myself with you? There is no logic to what you're saying at all. You've made it very clear that you're an attention whore and will find negativity in just about everything to get people to react to you.Originally Posted by tavares

And I TOTALLY deserve that! no racial slur directed towards me will even begin to measure up to the pain and suffering I caused by vomitting over Jesse McCartney or saying I don't like Timberlake.Originally Posted by jessicarabit99
Congratulations, you've all put me in my place! I'll be a new Tavares and do nothing but agree with you all about all of your wonderful, sexy and arousing choices in male celebrities to drool over!
Justin is SOOOOO sexy, guys! Let's see more pics of him please!
No one is saying that. You're entitled to your own opinion, by all means. You're just not always wise with your words. You have things to say? That's fine, speak your mind. But does it always have to be something negative? Do you always have to take what someone else says and twist it so that it's the exact opposite? If you hate Justin Timberlake, Kevin Zegers, Alton....That's fine. Instead of posting comments in threads where people are praising these certain individuals, start your own thread and talk about how much you fucking hate them. And dude, trust me, if anyone has a sense of humor, it's me. I've laughed at some of the things you've said. But when you say things that have no relevance, it makes everyone suspect that the only reason you're saying those things is for attention. Also, know that when I respond to you, it's not to attack you. If I feel that I need to react and speak my mind, then I will. It's always within reason. And jessicarabit99, what you said was totally uncalled for. I don't care if by using that word, you meant ignorant, loud, and uneducated. You don't fucking call someone that. If you want to describe someone by those characteristics, than you can use words like "ignorant, loud, and uneducated."Originally Posted by tavares
Let me tell you a little secret... I especially try to piss you off because the way you respond (I'm embarrassed to admit) turns me on. It doesn't mean that I LOVE IT, but I do have say I get that certain "feeling".Originally Posted by joejoesmoe

The highly respected program has become a model for the development and advancement of young artists.
Held on the campus of Delta State University and the Bologna Performing Arts Center, MSAI offers students a unique opportunity to gain broad exposure to all art forms, including dance, music, theater, visual arts and literary arts.
The goal of MSAI is to encourage promising artists to begin or continue their pursuits in the arts.
A handful of instructors this year have come from great distances to lead students in different classes.
Christian Coles Vernon, teaching three theatre classes at MSAI, serves as artistic director for Child's Play Touring Theatre in Chicago.
"I love this program and I love the kids," said Vernon, a first-time MSAI teacher. "I really like the diversity of classes offered and the diversity of the faculty on hand.
"It's impressive how many choices the kids have for classes and it's definitely a great learning environment."
Vernon is teaching Fighting for the Stage: An Introduction to Unarmed Stage Combat; Finding the Truth: An Introduction to Acting; and Makin' it Up! An Introduction to Improvisation.
"I've never taught all three of these subjects at the same time — it's a lot of fun," he added.
He is also leading a special weekend master class on scene writing for all young artists at camp.
Vernon has performed in multiple children's' shows in Chicago, including "The Magic Offrenda" and "The Tale of Pigling Bland" at the Theatre Building Chicago. He also stage manages and writes plays and is currently working on a children's musical based on the "Three Billy Goats Gruff."
Fellow MSAI instructor Laura Morton, a Houston native, is also inspired to bring new leadership to the campers.
Morton is an associate professor of dance at Belhaven University in Jackson and is teaching three courses at camp: Body Conditioning for the Performing Artist; Stage Movement and Dance for Actors; and Jazz and Lyrical Dance Fusion.
"The kids have a full schedule to explore and invest in various elements of performance arts," said Morton. "It's very exciting to work with kids that are so eager to learn.
Morton received her training from prestigious dance educators such as Anne and Nicholas Polajenko, Alexander Minz and at Ballet West with director Bruce Marks and Toni Landers.
Her professional credits include the Milwaukee Ballet, Delia Stewart Dance Company, Houston Metropolitan Dance Company and Ad Deum Dance Company.
"I've been very impressed with how much this community supports the arts," said Morton. "This theater (BPAC) itself is a fabulous facility. It's been such a pleasure to be part of the institute."
Cynthia Newland, an associate professor of dance and chair of the Belhaven dance department, is also teaching three courses MSAI: Contemporary Modern Dance; Stage Movement and Dance for Actors; and Improvisation and Creative Dance.
"This has been a wonderful opportunity for students to be exposed to a variety of arts," said Newland. "Not only do the campers have a chance to learn about the arts, but it's an opportunity for them to meet new people and friends."
For over two decades, Newland has traveled nationally and internationally as a teacher, choreographer and performer.
She has created dance education curriculum and researched the holistic approach of engaging the body, mind and spirit in creative expression for both performance and life enrichment.
Newland has also created numerous dances for people with and without disabilities that have been presented through VSA (Very Special Arts) International with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
BPAC Arts Education Coordinator Whitney Cummins said the distinguished teachers have made a significant impact on this year's classes.
"We're thrilled about our new teachers this year," said Cummins. "The Janice Wyatt MSAI strives to provide high-quality arts instructors, both locally and from across the country, to teach our young artists each summer."
Camp culminates with a visual arts exhibition and literary arts reading on June 28 at 7 p.m. and a final performance on June 29 at 10 a.m. Both events are will be held at the BPAC and are open to the public.
This summer the program has 43 talented young artists from 15 counties including, Bolivar, Coahoma, Desoto, Harrison, Hinds, Lafayette, Leflore, Lee, Oktibbeha, Rankin, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Washington and Webster. The students range from ages 12-18.

In "Moral Tales," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather the children in a circle in your storytelling area. Show them the story basket. Say something like, "Let's see what's in our story basket today."
If you are using an altar as a focal point, take the cloth cover from the storytelling basket and drape it over the box or small table. If the cloth cover has a special story, such as who made it, where it comes from, or the meaning of any symbols on it, briefly share the story with the children. Tell the group that the items in the story basket will be placed on this altar or table after the children have passed them around the circle.
Take the story-related items from the basket, one at a time, and pass them around. Briefly name the various objects. Children may ask questions about some of the items, begin to tell stories about similar things they have seen, or wonder aloud why an object is included. Tell them the group can talk more about the items after the story. Make sure you invite them to do so once you have finished the story and follow-up discussion.
If you have a globe or a world map, indicate Borneo. Tell the children that today's story is a true story, and Borneo is an island country where it happened.
As the story basket items come back to you, place them on the altar. Objects that are fragile, or which should not be passed around for any reason, can be held up for all to see and then placed directly on the altar. Display the items for children to look at as they listen to the story.
Now remove the chime, rain stick or other instrument from the story basket. Tell the children that every time you tell a story in Moral Tales, you will first use the instrument to help them get their ears, their minds, and their bodies ready to listen.
Invite them to sit comfortably and close their eyes (if they are comfortable doing so). You may tell them that closing their eyes can help them focus just on listening.
In a calm voice, say, in your own words:
As you breathe in, feel your body opening up with air. As you breathe out, feel yourself relaxing.
Repeat this once or twice and then say:
Now you are ready to listen. When I hit the chime (turn the rain stick over), listen as carefully as you can. See how long you can hear its sound. When you can no longer hear it, open your eyes and you will know it is time for the story to begin.
Sound the chime or other instrument. When the sound has gone, begin telling the story.
If anyone in the group is unable to hold or pass items, or cannot see the items, make sure you or a child in the group offers the person a chance to see and touch each object, as needed.
Some people do not feel safe closing their eyes when they are in a group. If any children resist, respect their resistance and suggest that they find a single point of focus to look at instead.
If you have a basket of fidget objects for children who will listen and learn more effectively with something in their hands, make the fidget object basket available during this activity. For a full description of fidget objects and guidance on using them, see Leader Resources.

VIDALIA, Ga. — A March 12 hearing is set on whether state agriculture commissioner Gary Black has the authority to tell Vidalia onion growers when they can start shipping their crop.
Previously, a grower committee recommended a start date to the commissioner based on the status of the crop. The commissioner then set the official date, but growers whose onions were ready earlier were allowed to pay for inspections by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If the onions passed muster, they could ship as early as they wanted.
Under the new rule, Vidalia onions cannot be shipped before Monday of the last full week in April each year. This year that is April 21.
Delbert Bland, president of Bland Farms LLC, Glennville, Ga., has filed a lawsuit objecting to the new rule.
"There's no way you can dictate when an onion's ready by a calendar, you've got to do it by Mother Nature," Bland said March 6. "And this year Easter is April 20. There is always huge demand for Easter dinners."
Growers can begin harvesting and curing before the new ship date. If they want to ship early, they can, but they can't label the early shipments as Vidalia onions, said Bob Stafford, manager of the Vidalia Onion Business Council.
Bland said the mandatory start date will also cause logistics troubles.
"Can you imagine the problems getting trucks if everyone tries to start shipping the same day?" he said.
Bland contends the old system worked fine and allowed for weather differences across the 20-county region outlined in the Vidalia marketing order. He said many of the Bland Farms fields are in the southern parts of the region and he usually has mature onions earlier than the northern areas. Of the 12,600 Vidalia onion acres planted in 2013, Bland owned or had contracts for about 3,000 acres.
In response to Bland's lawsuit, Georgia's attorney general filed a request for dismissal, saying the state statute clearly gives the ag commissioner the authority to set the date.
Black said the new system should stand the judicial test because Vidalia growers asked him to intervene. Stafford and several growers said retailer and consumer complaints about the quality of early Vidalias in recent years spurred their request.
In 2013 Black and Stafford received early-season calls about soft onions that wouldn't hold together when sliced.
Michael Hively, chief financial officer for Curry & Co., Brooks, Ore., and a partner in Sweet Vidalia Onions LLC, Collins, Ga., said the commissioner had to act. He said part of the problem is that inspection standards merely call for No. 1 grade onions to be "fairly firm."
Several growers said Vidalia onions have to be more than fairly firm before they are shipped because of the nature of sweet onion flesh.
"I would have preferred tighter inspection standards, but at the end of the day, he is the commissioner and we respect that," Hively said.
Tighter inspection standards are not an option, at least in the short term, Black said, because that would require state legislative action and involvement of the USDA because of the federal marketing order on Vidalia onions.
Black also considered adding inspectors, but when he ran the numbers he found that would have added $1 million in annual costs for producers, according to a letter he sent to growers.
Black said the months-long process preceding the change included three listening sessions and a public hearing. He said the process was completed early enough so growers could buy appropriate varieties of seed to meet the later start date. The new start date rule became law in August 2013.
"This is about maturity and shelf life," Black said. "The objective is to get growers to choose varieties that come in with those qualities."
Some growers said they had to ask the commissioner to act to protect their onions' reputation.
"We were given the opportunity to self regulate and it didn't work" John Shuman, president of Shuman Produce, said in November. "If there is a reason to start earlier, the rule has a clause for that."
The clause, which Black also cited, states "The commissioner may, depending on crop conditions and with the recommendation of the Vidalia Onion Advisory Panel, specify a packing date other than the Monday of the last full week in April."

Providing more control over imports and boosting traceability expectations, Canada's new food safety law is expected to bring new requirements to fresh produce operators in the U.S. and Canada.
The Canadian House of Commons has approved Canada's new federal food safety law Bill S-11 on Nov. 26, and the plan was passed earlier by the Canadian Senate. It will become effective after the formality of "Royal Assent" is given.
In a summary of the new law, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency summarizes the major features of the law, which is focused on improved food safety oversight, streamlined legislative authorities and enhanced international market opportunities.
The law appears to be similar to the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act, said David Acheson, former Food and Drug Administration associate commissioner for food protection and partner in Leavitt Partners, Washington, D.C.
"The potential risk on the U.S. side is what they are going to do about their import controls?" Acheson said.
The U.S. will put in place a Foreign Supplier Verification Program, Acheson said, which requires an agent to represent imports. Canada may also have a similar agent requirement when they implement their law, he said.
"I do know they are heading down that road, which is causing a little consternation for importers and exporters," Acheson said.
David Gombas, senior vice president of food safety and technology for the United Fresh Produce Association, said he doesn't see anything in the law that will be more onerous than the new U.S. food safety law.
One interesting element to the law is that it states entities performing due diligence in complying with the food safety law shall not be held guilty.
On the other hand, the law states if entities don't exercise due diligence, people in the company that are party to the food safety problem can be held personally responsible.
The new Canadian food safety law provides new authorities to address immediate food safety risks and builds additional safety into the system, from producer or importer to consumer, according to the CFIA summary. The law also provides the Canadian Food Inspection system with strengthened authorities to develop traceability regulations and includes a new prohibition against selling food commodities that have been recalled.
The summary of the law provided by the CFIA said import controls are beefed up by including powers to register or license importers, holding importers accountable for the safety of imported food.

Structure of the Organization
The ITF organizational structure is now established on a modern business-like basis. We have the revised Constitution and By-Law No. 1 to guide our decisions and procedures.
Official Policies concerning the following topics were approved by the Board of Directors in 2004:
First TKD World Cup in Orlando
This open competition attracted more than 400 competitors, many not
affiliated with the ITF, from 29 countries. The facilities at Disneys
Wide World of Sport Complex in Orlando were great, and the members of
the organizing committee were pleased with the collaboration from the
Disney people.
Click here to read more about the World Cup.
Since this World Cup was such a positive experience, we will be looking to organize other such competitions in prestigious locations in the future.
ITF Asia
ITF Asia was reactivated, with Master Norman Bernard of the Philippines as Acting President. The calendar of activities for 2005 will be announced soon. Click here to read more.
ITF-USA Inc. held its first official Congress Meeting at the World Cup in Orlando, and Board of Directors was elected. The World Cup received much publicity and this helped raise awareness about ITF-USA. Click here to read more.
New NAs in 2004:
In addition, AITA & ITA (Ireland) were accepted as AAs.
Looking forward to 2005
Structure of the Organization
In 2005 the Constitution, By-Law No. 1, and the official policies will be applied to every aspect of ITF administration at all levels, including the affiliated organizations.
For NAs:
The leaders of the ITF NAs have already received an invitation to a Special Seminar in Dortmund (Germany) in July 2005 during the 14th Senior World Taekwon-Do Championship.
Topics to be covered include:
Also during the seminar, a strategic development plan and a preliminary business plan for the ITF will be presented and explained. These development tools are offered as a service provided by the ITF to its NAs.
At the beginning of 2005 NAs will be asked to complete a survey to help the ITF team understand the situation in each country and the needs of our NAs. The survey will include the opportunity for NAs to voice their concerns and make suggestions.
The leaders of ITF NAs can expect to receive more frequent communications from the Presidents office in 2005.
For Instructors:
In 2004 many instructors registered for their ITF Instructors Plaque Certificate (teaching license). In 2005 we want to offer them services through the Web site: information, teaching tools and techniques, how to teach the Do, how to evaluate exams, etc.
A number of International Instructors Courses were held during 2004, and we will continue to offer these courses whenever possible in 2005.
An International Technical Conference and training camp for 4th degree and up will be held in Benidorm (Spain) in October 2005. Instructors will have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas on technical subjects, and train together.
For Members:
We have received several applications for new National Associations and expect announcements in first quarter of 2005. I will continue to visit as many countries as possible to work on development.
Arrangements for the 14th Senior World TKD Championship and for the 15th ITF Congress Meeting both to be held in Dortmund (Germany) in July 2005 are progressing well.
I am pleased to inform you that a new issue of ITF Magazine is almost ready; it will be released at the beginning of 2005.
The members of the ITF Demonstration Team will be selected during 2005. The criteria and rules as well as an application form will be posted on this Web site soon.
ITF Slogan Contest
I am sure everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the new slogan for ITF and the name of the contest winner.
Unfortunately, we cannot make the announcement yet. We have received a large number of suggestions, and the contest jury is still considering their final decision.
Watch the Whats New page for news.
I would like to conclude this message by offering to each one of you my sincere wishes for success in 2005.
By working together to build a better and stronger ITF based on the fundamental values identified by General Choi, we will demonstrate that we are worthy of continuing the legacy of our Founder.

Super (which is a short name of Simplified Universal Player Encoder and Renderer) is a very lightweight software tool that allows anyone to convert one media file type to another and play them on a Windows-powered computer. It supports countless video and audio formats (both as source and targets), and gives users streamlined ability to fully control in which way they want to convert their file. This includes control over resolution, aspect ratio, video quality, audio quality, bitrate, color depth, frame rate and many others. In addition of working with your local files, Super also has integrated tools that can grab live video that you are producing with your WebCam, external capturing device, PC Tuner, Sound Card, microphone and more.
Entire interface of Super is set on one tightly packed dashboard that will be accepted warmly by advanced users and little warily by novices. Still, its approach to tool distribution has a good sense, enabling everyone to see on dashboard all conversion options and easily switch whatever needs to be switched. Profiles for conversion can be easily exported and imported, which will save time if you need to repeat same conversion processes each day.
Even though modern internet market is home to countless multimedia converters, Super managed to distinguish itself by its large codec support, tools for conversion and unique interface. If you ever become in need of conversion software, hundred thousands of internet users will warmly recommend you to test Super before trying any other solution. Some of its new features are:

I know someone with a new AIM coming, and this sounds like some good things to look into.But the IV retest is performed at the receiver, is it not?
While I can understand how the actual RF signal levels can be seen by the receivers in legacy installs, for SWiM unless the IV retest is about detecting if RF levels fall below the agc range of the SWiM, I don't see how the receiver can see any other than the C/N ratio (sensed as BER of course) to use for the test.
The RF signal power at the receiver input once regulated by the agc action of the SWiM is a nominally constant -30 dbm minus any intervening coax and splitter losses isn't it?
If the Ka levels are low to the SWiM, it can't do anything more than add its 15 dB of gain, and if this is less than the Ku levels, "it might" trigger the errors seen in the first post.

Nice Fit
I purchased the Navy blue in 4P previously and loved it. I'm 5'3" and weigh 115 lb. and I love the Classic Rise so my backside always stays covered. Very comfortable and great look for the office. I just recently purchased more in black and butter rum. The only issue I have is that with the lighter color, there is a noticeable panty-line. It isn't noticeable with black and navy blue. So either the material needs to be a little thicker with lighter colors or the fit needs to be just a hair looser. I normally wear a cardigan or some type of top that covers most of my backside so that is how I deal with that issue.Peach parfait and emerald green will be the next colors I will purchase. They should make this style available in denim jeans.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Great Pants!!
Have several pairs of these pants. Very dressy and look good. I normally wear a size 6. Ordered and returned to get a size 8. The 6 ran a little small in the waist, 8 is a little bigger in the hips but nothing I couldn't handle.
Shawnee OK
perfect for Florida
These are perfect slacks for winter in Florida...lightweight and nice-looking. Good for both casual and dressier events. I am consistently a 4P at Chadwicks, but had to exchange my order for a 6P, so you might want to size up.
Fit Well
Love these pants. Fit very well. I am considering buying another pair. I have them in Blue.
Baltimore, Maryland

Here's Some Homework Where You Wont Want The Cliffs Notes |
TED McKEEVER GOES MONDO! |
New This Week: Vacation Plans Are Back On! |
10 Questions with... Renzo PodestaMusic is a universal language, so it makes sense that one of Shadowline's most successful recent series, 27, was created by a Canadian and an Argentinian. This week we head South...very South...to give the 10 Questions treatment to artist RENZO PODESTA as he's busily working on 27: Second Set. 1) How excited were you with the success of 27: First Set and then finding out that a sequel was given the green light? |
NEW THIS WEEK: Music, Magic, Mystery & Madness |
10 Questions with... Kelly TindallOdds are, you may not know who KELLY TINDALL is unless you read farther down into the credits of comics, past the names of the writers and artists into the land of colorists and letterers and *shudder* Editors. But without people like Kelly, the comic books you read would be nothing more than coloring books that were already finished before you got a chance to pick up your crayons. That's why we made sure to focus this week's 10 Questions segment on someone as well-rounded and important to what we all do as Kelly. |
(5 PAGE PREVIEW) New This Week: Addicted to Aliens |
10 Questions with... Seth DamooseNot so long a time ago, in a galaxy very much near where we are (this galaxy actually), writer Joshua Williamson and artist SETH DAMOOSE came up with an idea for a comic based on people who have become addicted to being abducted by aliens. We beamed Seth Damoose away from his drawing table for a few moments and...ahem...probed him for some information. The truth, as they say, is out there. Or just below, actually. 1) How did your work with Josh Williamson on Xenoholics come about? |

For twenty terrifying nights this fall, the normally tranquil confines of Watson Island will be visited by an ancient evil and the malevolent modern forces that awakened it. Designed by the frightmasters that brought you the award-winning Festival of Souls?which was voted the scariest haunted house in Florida by HauntWorld.com?Terror in the Jungle transforms Jungle Island into a massive, interactive haunted experience. Visitors enter a jungle beset by toxin-infused beasts, shambling zombies, and wrathful gods bent on punishing any mortal who dares wander the undergrowth. After navigating five acres of dense pathways, visitors arrive at the main event: the Ruins Pyramid Haunted House, a 10,000 square foot temple of unimaginable evil and bone-chilling scares.
Like a great scary movie, Terror in the Jungle comes with a back story that sets up the fright within. The story begins on 12/21/2012, a day purported to mark the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. As the world woke to yet another day on Earth, the prophesy manifested itself in an unexpected way. In the skies above Mexico, a cargo plane transporting hazardous materials from a government research lab faltered, crashing into the ruins of an ancient, forgotten city. The toxins on board seeped into the surrounding environment, mutating plants and people alike. Locals entreated the old gods for help, but found only retribution; insulted by mankind's disregard for life and nature, the deities unleashed the Hunter, a demon bent on wiping out any human in its path.
It is now 2014. The Mexican government, desperate for answers about the crash and its aftermath, has uncovered rumors of ecological unrest deep within a remote jungle. Now, government officials and Hazmat containment specialists are gathered at the entrance to the jungle, preparing to clean up their catastrophic mess. Little do they know that these trees conceal overgrown beasts, risen undead, and a supernatural force more powerful than anything they've ever encountered.
Giant toy soldiers clothed in thousands of colored lights wave at passersby as glowing reindeer take off into the dusk. Towering Christmas trees topped with stars glimmer and glisten with blue and green fiber optics. At Santa's Enchanted Forest, one of the world's largest Christmas-themed amusement parks, holiday spirit and festive music fill the air long before the end of December. Visitors laugh and shriek on a multitude of carnival rides, including whirling swings, bumper cars, tower drops, and roller coasters, whipping through the air until their cheeks are as rosy as old Saint Nick's. Traditional carnival games are also on hand, such as dart tosses and soccer-ball kicks, to complement more unconventional carnival amusements such as giant plastic balls to roll around in and a rock-climbing wall to scale. Wee visitors, meanwhile, can make the acquaintance of small livestock in a petting zoo or draw a portrait of their favorite goat in royal costume on a wall-size coloring-book mural. Carnival food, such as barbecue, pizza, and cinnamon donuts, fuels guests as they conquer rides or take in the Cats of the World Tiger Show, the Cirque Equinox, or the Sea Lion Splash Spectacular.
This third-generation, family-owned protected wildlife habitat offers the rare chance to see nearly 400 primates run free. Monkey Jungle is the only protected habitat for endangered primates in the United States that is open to the general public, allowing visitors to explore the 30-acre reserve. Upon entering, guests are immediately welcomed by Java monkeys, who at scheduled times will showcase their water skills as they dive into a pool to get fruit pieces. Stroll through a recreation of the Amazon rainforest, the only semi-natural tropical rainforest in North America. The founder of Monkey Jungle spent five years collecting hundreds of different species of plants, trees and palms to mimic the habitat of howler, black-capped capuchin and squirrel monkeys that normally call the South American jungle home. Keep walking to eventually discover the bird domes, blossoming with displaced and captive parrots, as well as orangutans and gorillas that explore the grounds.
Splat Paintball Park's players strap on goggles and cradle Tippmann 98 paintball guns before sprinting through the X-ball grass field or the urban-scenario field encompassed by 20-foot-high netting and high-tech lighting. As players dash around, Paintball Training Institute–certified referees ensure the Geneva Conventions are followed.
Teams first design plans of attack in the covered staging area equipped with ceiling fans and cleaning stations, and then hone their aim at the shooting gallery. An onsite pro shop stocks shelves with all the extra equipment they could need.
In between matches, players relax in the indoor lounge with a snack bar, a big-screen TV, and paintball videos. Those celebrating birthdays storm the fields with friends before retiring to the private air-conditioned party room.
Set in the heart of scenic Everglades National Park, Everglades Safari Park has showcased South Florida's distinctive wildlife for more than 40 years. The company's modern fleet of airboats whisks tourists through the park's lush ecosystem as guides helpfully point out which logs are alligators and which alligators are confused crocodiles. As soon as they step off the boat, groups have the chance to get up close to the wildlife during an interactive alligator show and a walk down the jungle trail.
Rink Side Family Entertainment Center & Ice Arena features activities and amenities for visitors of all ages. The center's regulation-sized ice rink serves many purposes throughout the year. Public-skate times are offered every day, allowing guests to escape the summertime heat or reconnect with the snowman they've been hiding since winter. Additionally, the rink's staff hosts figure-skating lessons and organizes hockey leagues for adults and children seeking casual or competitive play.
In between laps around the ice, Rink Side's visitors can take advantage of the facility's other family-friendly pursuits. The 18-hole, black-lit miniature-golf course embraces a nautical theme, complete with sculptures of exotic sea creatures and spiderwebbing coral growths. Hundreds of games fill the arcade space, tempting passersby to test their hand-eye coordination or win tickets that can be redeemed for prizes. For an adrenaline-boosting experience, the entertainment center also features a laser-tag arena. As many as 20 participants can spend seven minutes dodging behind the arena's towering, neon-banded columns and tagging opponents before regrouping with friends and comparing scores. Rink Side even includes a small caf? where visitors can recharge. The facility also creates lifelong memories with family and friends through its private party and event services.

Voters motivated to come out to the polls

Kathie Saldana didn't vote in the 2008 presidential election because she didn't like either candidate.
"My vote means everything to me this time," the 66-year-old Tinley Park woman said.
Four of Saldana's eight grown children are out of work. Some are in danger of losing their homes.
"Everyone voted for Obama last time because they said we needed a change," she said. "This time I voted for (Mitt) Romney because we need another change."
Driven by duty, frustration, anger and a general sense of fed-upness, many hit the polls early today.
At Faith Christian Reform Church in Tinley Park, 20-year-old Matt O'Boyle voted in his first presidential election.
"I voted for Obama because Romney has been proven to be dishonest. You can't have someone in the office who is not honest," said O'Boyle, who recently enlisted with the U.S. military in hopes of becoming a Navy SEAL. "This election is hugely important. My whole future depends on it."
Voting kicked off at 6 a.m. under sunny skies. Few complained about the frigid 40-degree temperatures, given the conditions voters on the east coast are dealing with.
"It's rough for them," said Phil West, of Tinley Park. "I appreciate that they're trying to accommodate those voters as best they can."
Courtney Greve, spokesperson for Cook County Clerk David Orr's office, said voting was going according to plan. Polls operned on time and there were no reports of any equipment breakdowns, she said.
"No reports of any problems at this point," she said, adding the office did not expect any precincts to stay open late.
Similarly, voting got off to a good start in Will County, said County Clerk Nancy Voots. Polling places opened on time, machines were operating properly.
Voots said she expects turnout to be heavy, but not as bad as in 2008, thanks to the high number of people who chose to vote early.
"Basically, the only calls we're getting are from people wanting to know where their polls are," she said.
Chet Labus, 58, said this presidential election is even more important than the last.
"The country's changing. I want to make sure that it's heading in the right direction for the next four years," he said.
The Tinley Park accountant hopes his vote for Romney will ensure that.
"We kind of take voting for granted sometimes. But it's important to vote in every election because you just never know, your vote may make the difference," he said.
Jeff Taylor, vice president of sales for Consolidated Carqueville Printing Co., said he expects Romney will take the honors this year.
"Because of the state of the economy," he said. "Unemployment is very high; we need more permanent jobs."
He bemoaned the fact that so much money is spent on caucuses and political pacs. "Why not use those millions of dollars to put people back to work?" he said.
Though they disagreed on who would make the best president, voters polled were in absolute agreement about the tone of this year's campaigning.
"This year was the worst," said Denise Arkus, who works for a relocation company. "I think the candidates do it on purpose, to daze and confuse voters. In the end, you still don't get any information."
Arkus said she turned to the AARP website for informaiton about candidate's platforms.
"It was pretty beneficial," she said.
Cindy O'Boyle said she watched every debate because "they were more entertaining" than informative.
"This season was totally nastier than any other," she said. "I'm glad it's over."

Watch Barack talk to this gaggle of reporters. He's completely at ease. It's like the change that came over Luke Skywalker when you first saw him at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. It's as if during the few days between the DNC and the RNC Obama took a side trip to Dagoba and completed his Jedi training. This bodes well.

Cedric Jones, 33, published the book to reach out to struggling youth and provide hope for a brighter future.
"I wrote about my life story, mainly for people about to finish high school or in their early college years, who may be wondering about their destiny in life," said Jones.
"We're told in this country that after high school you need to go to a higher school, get a college degree, get a good job and live happily ever after," he added. "I tried college a few times and it just didn't work for me — I felt like a failure and for a while, even gave up trying."
Through an invitation to the Fresh Encounter Ministries in Merigold, Jones said his life changed forever when he let God lead him down the right path — not societal norms.
"You don't have to have a college degree to find out your destiny — only God can reveal that," he said. "We must learn our destinies from Him and obey."
After academic struggles, career changes, moving to different states, hanging with the wrong crowd and substance abuse problems, Jones said the only solution was putting his life in God's hands.
In the book, Jones outlines the 12 keys to success — helpful tips for turning a struggling life around.
He said the experience of completing his first book was exciting, and he's in the process of planning a second manuscript.
"I never imagined I'd be writing my story and sharing it with others. It feels great knowing that my book might help others.
"I am a successful young black man from poverty, but there is so much you achieve when you listen and obey God," said Jones.
"The Keys to Success" was published mid-October by PublishAmerica.

When a 14-year-old is out in the park shooting his basketball through a rusty rim with a half torn net hanging down, he envisions himself as a member of his favorite team making the game winning shot to defeat the L.A. Lakers or the Miami Heat in game seven of the NBA Finals to win the World Championship.
When a 10-year-old flame-thrower is throwing his worn out ball with the stitches hanging out and the cover halfway off through a tire, he pictures himself standing on the mound at Fenway Park firing a perfect white baseball past Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz to win game seven of the World Series.
Playing in the NBA, NFL, MLB, WNBA or NHL is a dream that many athletes have and a goal that many have their sights on. Playing sports at the major level is a goal that can be attained but there are some facts young players and their parents should know.
Making the pros is extremely difficult. In fact, the odds are astronomically low. According to a study put together by the NCAA in September of 2012, the sport were athletes have the highest chance of getting drafted was Major League Baseball (MLB). That number was a slim 0.51 percent for high school seniors and 9.7 percent for seniors competing in the NCAA. The sport where the chances of making the pros are the lowest is women's basketball as the chance of getting drafted by a WNBA team for college seniors is 0.9 percent, while the chance for high school seniors is a miniscule 0.02 percent. This means, no matter how good you are or no matter how much you think your little one is a superstar, chances are he or she better have a back-up plan if their pursuit for glory doesn't work out.
When the 16-year-old student-athlete comes home from practice and says "I'm tired. I can't study" he or she needs to adjust their schedule and deal with it. Every time a college coach recruits a player, he or she wants that perspective player to have their ducks in a row in the classroom. Colleges don't want someone who's top course is basket weaving, and college is where a vast majority of your stars get their chance to get drafted and signed by pro scouts. When colleges don't grab you, your big break almost never happens. When that college athlete hits his or her dorm room and doesn't feel like hitting the books, they need to understand a scout is not going to look at them if they're off the team for not making the grades. Finding what you can do in college other than play ball will help you survive in the world.
Even if you don't make the pros, the grades and the degree will help you find a job you can make a good living at for the rest of your life.

Since there is a large amount of people wanting to avoid artificial sweeteners while still enjoying reduced-calorie version of their favorites, Smucker's has also released a line low-sugar jellies, touting half of the calories of the regular version. Could this be the best option, balancing the yin of fruit with the yang of calories?
I decided to try Smucker's Low Sugar Strawberry Jelly first. I was happy to spoon out a jelly with recognizable seeds, fruit chunks, and a thick, but not overly gelatinized texture. It spread smoothly on my toast, and one taste told me that I had found what I was looking for. The jelly was sweet, with a bit of tartness, and tasted just like pureed strawberries should. The Grape Jelly (which doesn't contain any fruit pieces, and is made only from juice) told a similar story - real, honest fruit flavor with real, honest texture.
One serving (1 tbsp) of Smucker's Low Sugar Strawberry and Grape Jelly provides 25 calories from 6 grams of carbohydrates, which includes 5 sugar - no fat or sodium. The ingredients are strawberries (or grape juice), sugar, water, pectin, locust bean gum, citric acid, potassium sorbate, calcium chloride, and red 40 (the grape has no dye) (more details at their website).
It's a shame to see that although these jellies are artificial-sweetener free, they're not artificial color or preservative free. A 16-oz jar cost me $1.79, which works out to about 40% cheaper than the sugar-free line. While the flavor selection is far more limited than the regular or sugar-free versions, these will be my go-to jellies from now on.
