"Faust in the Box" features puppets, pop tunes
Contact for more information:
Sarah Harlan Administrative Associate News & Information Services 812/465-7005 Using hand puppets and pop music, Markland employs a modern method of dealing with the classic German play, demonstrating parallels between different streams of popular culture. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play about a man, Faust, who becomes a black magic sorcerer and summons the Devil after losing his faith and idealism. Faust makes a deal with the demon Mephistopheles, in which Mephistopheles offers to serve Faust for a period of time for the cost of Faust's eternal soul. With the help of Mephistopheles, Faust seduces a beautiful, innocent young girl, Gretchen, whose life is ultimately destroyed. In the end, Gretchen's innocence saves her and she enters Heaven. Along the journey, Mephistopheles lies to, deceives, and tricks Faust until Faust works to revoke his pact with the demon. Quotations from the German drama are paired with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Rammstein, Robbie Williams, Metallica, Pink, Elvis, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Depeche Mode, Placebo, and many other artists. "Audiences are amazed at how much the lyrics of a pop song have in common with a classic play."- http://www.bridge-markland.de/ENCLASSIC/fausten_EN.htm. The performance, sponsored by the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, the Association of German Studies, the Society for the Arts and Humanities, and the USI Student Government Association, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. Bartell Berg, assistant professor of German, at 812/465-1738 or firstname.lastname@example.com. |

It cannot be denied that the development of online technologies has made many things easier. What we get online nowadays was never possible to get before. In the realm of entertainment alone, we can see developments like free movies online that have made home entertainment easier than ever.
YouTube may be considered iconic in terms of its contribution to Internet usage and history. YouTube made it possible to view home-made movies from anywhere in the world. It also showed old TV shows for anyone who had missed an episode.
A few years after its debut, YouTube started showing excerpts and previews of the most popular Hollywood movies, both old and new. Soon users wondered if they could use the site to upload a full film. There are currently several movies on YouTube, but they come in sections that must be viewed in the right arrangement.
A few websites have arisen that offer better upload capacities. A number of website owners have dedicated their sites to the provision of free movies online. Majority of these membership sites require a one-time payment of those who wish to use them to stream films easily.
The ability to stream movies is a boon for movie-watchers. Streaming gives instant access. You can enjoy your favorite films by just clicking on the link and streaming them directly to your monitor.
Downloaded movies have a tendency to get corrupted or somehow the image quality gets affected. It cannot be avoided either that some download times are on the very long end. The beauty of streaming is that there is no waiting and definitely no danger of not being able to access the movie.
The Net provides other things from Hollywood, of course. You can find all manner of information and even digital products here. For those who love films, they can also look up the people who made them.
The latest data on movie stars is everywhere. The lives of movie stars are so colorful and intriguing that they always make headlines anytime on print, the TV or cyberspace. This permits fans to access ready data about the person they like or admire the most in the industry.
The lives of actors and actresses present almost as intriguing a topic as films themselves. It is not uncommon to have the people making a film work up some intriguing bit of info about the actors to drum up publicity. Publicity is important in this industry, which is why producers regularly encourage intrigues of this type.
There are many things accessible online, from films to info. All the Net surfers need to do to get that free movies online download is a little patience in looking for the best free movie website and a one-time fee that typically doesn't go over $50. After that, you can get all the films you want, as well as possibly even all the movie data you need.

The name Extension Underwear may lead a few insecure individuals into buying these briefs under false pretenses, but I'm sure they'll get over it once they realize popular computer file extensions are plastered on the posterior of these undergarments.
The Extension Underwear comes courtesy of Gizmine and feature such popular file extensions as .zip, .mp3., .log, .php and .exe. I can probably identify a little more than half the extensions mentioned, but I know it'd totally be fun running around in these tight novelty underwear wrapped around my butt.

Photos: The ten best neckbeards in history versus Andrew Luck
Colts QB Andrew Luck faces a big challenge this weekend, when he faces off against the Broncos' Peyton Manning in PM's first game in Indianapolis since leaving for Denver. But Luck may have an even harder time when it comes to earning a place of honor when it comes to the ten best neckbeards in history.Big photos below.
Yes, young Andrew's got impressive facial hair. But he clearly has a ways to go before he can compare to the all-time greats of neckbeards (and maybe football, too). Count down our top ten below. It's hair-raising!
Number 10:
Richard Wagner
The 19th Century German composer is known for dramatic masterworks such as The Ring of the Nibelung -- and his neckbeard was every bit as epic as his music. In this painting, it looks like an animal pelt repurposed as a chin strap. So luxuriant!
Number 9:
Peter Cooper
The Wikipedia page for Cooper (1791-1883) lists him as an "American industrialist, inventor, philanthropist and candidate for President of the United States" -- and it's shocking to believe a majority of voters in this great nation didn't want a guy with facial hair like this to lead them. His beard's so bushy that it would probably have worked as a safety device -- like an air bag for the face.
Continue to keep counting down our picks for the ten best neckbeards in history.

Social apps review: The best Black Friday bargain finders
Black Friday is just around the proverbial corner (which means Christmas is mere weeks away – you're welcome), but instead of flinging yourself headfirst into an avalanche of frenzied shoppers, take advantage of these stores' apps in order to bag the best bargains and even score a few exclusive deals.
Tipped for release tomorrow, Macy's dedicated Black Friday app will allow customers to view special BF deals, create shareable shopping lists and identify the exact location of particular products within each store, so they don't have to run around in discount-induced panic. Pretty standard stuff, really. The icing on the cake is the exclusive notifications users will receive whilst they're in-store, which will grant them access to unadvertised special offers.
Platform and developer: Android, iOS (by Macy's Inc)
Final word: Macy's has reportedly been working with eBay to create this app, which boosts its usability credentials. It will be interesting to see how the in-store notifications feature pans out but the promise of unadvertised bargains means it's worth taking a chance on if you're in the vicinity.
Another department store jumping on the in-store notification bandwagon, Sears will be integrating its Black Friday offerings into its regular app (so make sure you update accordingly). It comes with the all requisite bells and whistles (lists, favorites, etc), plus the latest and greatest deals for BF as well as app-only exclusives on everything from electrical appliances to tools.
Platform and developer: Android, iOS
Final word: Scoring a very respectable 92/100 from Mobilewalla, this one looks set to be a BF must-have. Its buy to collect/delivery service takes some of the hassle out of Black Friday, too.
After a Black Friday stampede killed a Walmart worker in 2008, the retail giant has always been very careful to ensure the rush goes off as smoothly as possible. Previous years have seen the company integrating BF deals and titbits into its social networks, but this year the already-decent Walmart app will feature interactive store maps and product info, as well as deals and offers.
Platform and developer: Android, iOS (by Walmart)
Final word: Lacking some of the glitz that other Black Friday apps offer, the Walmart App nonetheless proves a formidable ally in the post-Thanksgiving shopping rush, and will continue to do so throughout the year.

CASPER, Wyo. — Legislative leaders are studying options for more state government office space in Cheyenne while also planning for much-needed renovations to the Wyoming Capitol.
Work on the Capitol is expected to begin after the 2015 legislative session, at the earliest.
Meanwhile, instead of planning for one large state office building, legislative leaders are talking about constructing a smaller executive office building on the state-owned site formerly occupied by St. Mary's School east of the Capitol.
The executive offices would be in addition to an 80,000 square-foot state office building on the block that formerly housed a Safeway grocery store and residences west of the Capitol.
Four of the five elected state officials currently have offices in the Capitol building; state Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill works in the Barrett Building near the Capitol. One problem lawmakers face is that the elected officials want to remain in the Capitol building after the renovation.
State Senate Majority Floor Leader Phil Nicholas said there simply won't be room. The elected officials' offices, because of the Capitol's age and type of structure, can't be expanded, Nicholas added.
The Legislature, meanwhile, needs more meeting rooms.
The lawmakers' thinking is that the smaller, executive office building could include the elected officials and their staffs, including Gov. Matt Mead's policy analysts who are now working out of the Herschler Building north of the Capitol.
"Unless we find a global solution, we'll have everyone fighting for the space," Nicholas said.
Nicholas said the Capitol renovation and new executive office building would take care of the current occupants of the Capitol building, and the new, larger state office building could be constructed in the distant future.
The Legislature's original plan was to first build a 200,000 square-foot state office building on the former Safeway site. The new building would have been a temporary home for the Legislature and other displaced Capitol building agency employees and officials during renovation of the Capitol. It also would have been a permanent home for state agencies housed all over Cheyenne in leased office space at the cost of about $6 million per year.
That plan ran aground in 2012 when Mead withheld the $4.4 million the Legislature included in the budget for design of the new office building.
Mead said at the time it was not right to be spending money on a new office building given the constrained economy.
The Legislative Management Council voted on July 12 to restart work on the office building plans. The council includes most of the top leaders in the House and Senate.
This time, though, the legislators requested the planning and money be included in a separate bill rather than as budget item the governor could ignore.
Although the governor can veto the bill, the Legislature has the option of attempting a two-thirds majority vote to override the chief executive's veto.
Nicholas said it is difficult in general for governors to approve the construction of new government buildings.
"Nobody wants to build big buildings on their watch," he said, adding that, to his knowledge, no one criticized Mead for halting the original plan.
Former Gov. Dave Freudenthal also was reluctant to move ahead with the new office building because of agency budget cuts then in progress.
Meanwhile, Mead spokesman Renny MacKay said the governor is interested in hearing the recommendations concerning the Capitol renovation and government office construction plans.
The Legislature has set aside $105 million for the Capitol renovation and other projects.
The state has acquired more property in the Capitol building complex since original planning began, which gives the lawmakers more options.
Yet another option is building an addition onto the north side of the Herschler Building, Senate President Tony Ross said. The footings for a north wing were put in place when the building was first constructed years ago, Ross said earlier.

What Will the Best-Actress Nominees Wear on Oscar Night?
Your guess is as good as ours, but here are some dresses we'd like to see the best-actress nominees wear. We rounded up dreamlike frocks from recent fashion shows around the globe and paired each with a female Oscar contender according to her usual style choices. A word of advice for the night's leading ladies: forget practicing your speech—we really just care that you know how to work your couture for the cameras! After all, you may be deprived of a little gold man, but being on a worst-dressed list could sting even more.
Could the devil wear Chanel? This dramatic couture gown is elegant, sophisticated, and slightly covered up, the style hallmarks of Meryl Streep.
Helen Mirren is a veteran when it comes to the red carpet, and the 64-year-old actress always chooses something classic. She also often wears dresses that cover her arms, and this sophisticated Carolina Herrera garment manages to do that but also show some skin with a regal bare-shoulder cut.
Carey Mulligan clearly marches to her own fashion beat. Recently revealing to PeopleStylewatch that she would not be taking the advice of Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who suggested that the actress wear something short to the Oscars, Mulligan said, "I was like 'No, that is so not what I had in my head when I was six years old!'" With her short haircut, which would work well with a sweetheart neckline, and warm complexion, Mulligan would look picture perfect in this gold Elie Saab number.
Said to be working with Marchesa to create something special for the big night, Gabourey Sidibe has impressed critics with her solid red-carpet choices. A woman with curves, Sidibe has been choosing empire-waist gowns, and this Marchesa dress fits the bill. The detail at the neckline extends over the tops of the arms, a problem area for some women, and bright white would really pop against her complexion.
Sandra Bullock, nominated for her performance in The Blind Side, needs something radiant—and this Marchesa dress screams "winner." At the SAG awards, the actress wore a fitted Alexander McQueen gown that accentuated her toned physique, and this ruffled number has a similar affect throughout the bodice.

Changes in General Education Requirements
Background, Summary, and FAQ
In Fall 2007, Provost Charlena Seymour and the Faculty Senate created a joint task force to make recommendations for improving general education at UMass Amherst. This General Education Task Force (GETF) began its work with rather modest, short-term goals, but soon discovered that the challenges were bigger than had been anticipated. Many students and even some faculty do not understand the purpose of the general education curriculum. General education is often seen as an arbitrary collection of requirements that need to be checked off to get a degree. Students do not receive as much benefit as we would hope from courses that constitute one-third of their total curriculum.
The GETF's final report describes the results of the Task Force's work on these and other difficult problems. Pages 11-16 of this report present a two-pronged approach to the problem of enhancing student learning in general education:
When the GETF finished its work in May 2009, it recommended pursuing these changes after a year or so of further study and pilot projects, to resolve questions about implementation.
The July 8 2009 message from the MSP President and the June 18 2009 message from the Chancellor describe the budget crisis that will affect this campus in the fiscal year that begins on July 1 2010. Because the Commonwealth has already spent the second year of the federal stimulus money, we can expect to bear the full brunt of cuts in state funding on that date.
Both the MSP President and the Chancellor urge faculty to become involved in developing ways of dealing with this crisis with minimal harm to the institution, its students, and its employees. The GETF's recommendations offer an opportunity to do that by permitting us to teach the same number of students, despite inevitable faculty attrition due to retirements and resignations when there is little or no hiring.
In July 2009, when the budget crisis had become clear, the GETF met to consider accelerating the schedule for implementing these changes. The GETF unanimously endorsed a proposal to the Senate to proceed immediately with the revised general education curriculum. The effects of that proposal are succinctly summarized in this table. This plan was also endorsed by the General Education Council, the Academic Matters Council, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Oversight. (See section 4 below for further details on the process for reviewing this proposal.)
This table shows exactly how the requirements will change. The changes affect only those parts of the general education curriculum that involve natural science, social science, arts, and humanities. (These courses have BS, PS, AL, AT, HS, or SB designations.) There are no changes in the courses that fulfill the R1, R2, and writing requirements. There is no change in the diversity requirements (see What about the diversity requirements? in the FAQ).
Many general education courses, particularly in natural science, already carry 4 credits. Beginning early in Fall 2009, there will be a concerted effort to encourage faculty teaching 3-credit BS/PS/AL/AT/HS/SB courses to move to 4 credits. This effort will initially focus on courses that are taken by large numbers of first-year students.
In most cases, this change will not involve adding another hour of lecture to a course. That is neither possible -- because classroom space is so scarce -- nor advisable -- because added lecture time is rarely the best way to help students achieve greater depth in a topic. The GETF has developed a list of ideas for expanding a course to 4 credits. The change will not be automatic; instructors will need to apply by explaining how the course work will expand to reflect the increase in credits awarded.
The Dean of Undergraduate Education will work with School/College deans and individual departments to ensure that adequate capacity is developed within each 4 credit category. At present a large majority of the seats in these categories are contained in a reasonable subset of the total approved courses (on the order of 70% of the instruction delivered in 15% of the courses). In those situations where a substantial effort is required to design additional course components and their evaluation, such as in courses with enrollments of 100 or more first-year students, instructional development support funds will be provided and may be used for compensation to faculty or other supplemental activities directly related to the course conversion.
The members of the faculty, through the Faculty Senate, control decisions on curricular matters. The Senate has been deeply involved in the process of developing and reviewing this proposal from the outset:
(i) The proposal is based on the work of a joint Senate-administration task force, the General Education Task Force (GETF).
(ii) The proposal was unanimously endorsed by the GETF on July 14 2009.
(iii) The proposal was reviewed and unanimously endorsed by two Senate councils, the General Education Council and the Academic Matters Council, at a joint meeting on July 23 2009.
(iv) The proposal was reviewed and endorsed 11-1-1 by another Senate body, the Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Oversight, at a meeting on July 23 2009.
(v) The proposal will be considered by the Rules Committee of the Senate on August 3 2009.
(vi) The proposal will be presented to the Faculty Senate at the first meeting of the Fall semester, on September 17 2009. The General Education Implementation Committee will likely offer amendments to address unresolved questions like this, this, and this.
About Timing
What's the rush?
The GETF and everybody else involved would prefer to proceed more slowly, but there just isn't time. Here's the timeline, working backwards toward the present:
July 2010: The new fiscal year begins with a much smaller budget.
May 2010: Sufficient 4-credit courses need to be ready for first-year students filling their schedules at summer orientation.
January 2010: The Scheduling Office needs to know about any room changes necessitated by the shift to 4 credits.
November 2009: Proposals to change courses from 3 to 4 credits need to be submitted to ensure action before the end of the semester.
October 2009: The Registrar's office needs to be informed of any potential changes in time or capacities in the affected courses.
September-October 2009: Workshops and incentives will be provided to support proposals to change courses from 3 to 4 credits. The 50 or so courses that teach the most first-year students will be particularly targeted.
August 2009: Department chairs and faculty are informed about the impending change.
About The Requirements
Will students who are subject to the new requirements be allowed to substitute two 3-credit courses in some general education area for one 4-credit course in that area?
This has not yet been decided. It is attractive because it gives students and departments more options, but it makes the new requirements more complicated to explain and it may prove too cumbersome for Spire.
What about the diversity requirements?
The diversity requirements are not changed. Since most students fulfill the domestic (U) and global (G) diversity requirements by taking a course that also has another designation (e.g., SBU), most students will fulfill the diversity requirements with 4-credit courses. The few stand-alone diversity courses (U or G designation only) can remain at 3 credits, if the instructors so choose.
What about non-gen ed courses?
This change has no effect on courses or requirements other than those in the BS/PS/AL/AT/HS/SB areas of general education.
What about interdisciplinary courses?
The question of exactly how to fit I and SI courses into the new system of requirements has not yet been settled, but there is a commitment to making sure that they do fit in.
What about Commonwealth College?
This is also under discussion.
The change from 3 to 4 credits gets most of the attention. What about the integrative experience?
The integrative experience aspect of this proposal is not as fully developed as the change from 3 to 4 credits. The main reason is that it is simply less urgent: the earliest that non-transfer students will be eligible for it is September 2012. See pages 12-13 of the final report and notes here and here for further explanation of the integrative experience.
About Impact on Students
Which students will be affected by this change?
Only first-year students entering in September 2010 or later. Continuing students will remain subject to the current general education requirements.
It has not yet been decided how transfer students will be integrated into this system.
What if students subject to the current general education requirements take 4-credit courses?
Those courses will count toward satisfying those requirements, but no more so than 3-credit courses. Any 4-credit courses on a student's record will naturally count toward the 120 credit degree requirement, regardless of when the student entered the University.
How will this change affect Five-College students?
Five-College students already receive 4 credits for taking the existing 3-credit courses at UMass. Therefore, this change will mean that they no longer have an unearned advantage over our own students.
About Impact on Faculty
Will faculty and departments get help in changing their courses?
Yes. The Dean of Undergraduate Education and the Center for Teaching will provide timely support in the form of advice, ideas, workshops, and compensation where appropriate (see section 3).
Will faculty and departments be forced to change their courses from 3 to 4 credits?
No, but after a few years the demand for 3 credit courses is likely to diminish significantly.
How will this affect teaching loads?
The councils and committees that have reviewed this proposal have discussed this question at length. There is no simple formula because departments, schools, and colleges have their own ways of measuring teaching load. The sense of most faculty who have examined this question is that each unit should find a way of recognizing the added burden of teaching a 4-credit course, particularly to large classes.
Isn't this just a way of getting more work out of faculty for the same pay?
Yes and no. Faculty will undoubtedly have to do extra work to develop activities consonant with the fourth credit and to evaluate the results of that work, but it is not expected that this change will add 33% to the total time commitment for teaching such a course. How much extra work this entails will also depend on how departments handle 4-credit courses when balancing teaching loads. Look here for some ideas for expanding courses to 4 credits.
Will the workload of TAs and TOs be affected?
The answer depends on the course and how the work associated with the fourth credit is managed. Departments will need to take care that TAs and TOs are not given work that exceeds their contractual hours.
About Procedures
Who will manage the transition?
On the administration side, the Dean of Undergraduate Education. On the faculty side, a new ad hoc Committee on General Education Implementation (GEICO), with representation from the Academic Matters Council, the General Education Council, and the Rules Committee.
How do I change my course from 3 to 4 credits?
GEICO will develop and distribute a brief but thorough application form. The form will focus on the following criteria, which are drawn from Sen. Doc. no. 05-007:
· How will the syllabus change to reflect the increased workload?
· Are the expectations of students' performance increased commensurately?
· How will the additional work be evaluated?
GEICO will give prompt feedback on applications with advice for improving applications that are unsuccessful on the first attempt.
What are the other responsibilities of GEICO?

(UPDATED COVERAGE, April 12) Crunch Pak plans to introduce Flavorz, a sliced apple product for children, at the United Fresh 2012 convention in May before a nationwide retail rollout in August.
Flavorz will come in a multipack clamshell of five 2-ounce snacks that retails for about $3.99, said Tony Freytag, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Cashmere, Wash.-based Crunch Pak. The flavors are peach-mango, grape, and strawberry vanilla cream.
The target market is back-to-school shoppers. Disney characters appear on the packaging.
"It's an addition to our Disney brand, which is exclusive to us," Freytag said. "It certainly reinforces our goal of getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables."
Crunch Pak spent almost two years trying to perfect the process for Flavorz.
"Others have tried to be out there with flavors," he said. "I was never pleased with the overall characteristics. Maybe the flavor was there, but not the texture. Until we got it right, we didn't do it."
"It's all natural ingredients," he said. "There's no added sugars. The flavorings are basically the very essence of grape, strawberry, vanilla and peach-mango. We kept the eating characteristics that of apples. There's no color coating or textural changes."
Crunch Pak tested Flavorz in schools with a focus group of children ages 4-8. A video of them will play at its United Fresh booth.
"Kids have a way, whether verbally or with their face, of letting you know where they're coming from," Freytag said. "There are very few subtleties. Plus, their taste buds are at a different level."
To perk interest, Crunch Pak is developing scratch-and-sniff stickers to appear on clamshell exteriors. The scent would mimic that of the fruit.
"They have great olfactory results," Freytag said. "The aroma is very strong. We want that interaction with consumers that gets them to pick up the package."
The flavoring process is proprietary and designed in-house for Crunch Pak equipment. Flavorz is not related to the company's 2010 acquisition of Stemilt Growers' sliced apple business, Freytag said. Stemilt's AppleSweets line included berry, caramel and apple pie flavorings that were discontinued upon the transition.
"This is a totally different process," he said.
Flavors are applied post-slice during packaging. Additional flavors could be offered eventually.

Boone Ultimate Alliance
To promote community, fitness, and competition through the game of Ultimate Frisbee in Boone, NC.
Welcome. Boone Ultimate was established in the late 70s - early 80s by The Nomads, Appalachian State University's (ASU) club Ultimate team. Around 2000, the Lady Nonads emerged on the scene to birth ASU women's Ultimate.
Starting in 2005 local pickup games began and the passion for Ultimate began to grow beyond the college scene. BUA was formed in Spring 2008 to establish ONE Ultimate community.

Posted 11/25/08... greetings BUA earthlings and congratulations to Agent Orange who went on a tear in valle crucis on sunday to win the BUA fall league shakedown. Black Plague played strong in the finals, but were a bit worn after pulling the upset and overcoming Team White in the semi-finals. the Purple Pancake Posse battled, but succumbed to Blu-AH in the chUmpionship. Team Green showed up nicely going 1-1 in pool play, but lost to Orange in the semis... after playing ultimate and throwing snowballs all day - dance, darts, and kiwi games commenced at the shakedown party. oh yeah, and the Highland Winter Brew was unbelievably tasty!
Posted 10/15/08... ohh, it's on! the fall league shakedown is underway. the table is set and team purple, led by snaggie maggie, is the 1st to feast. their 2-0 record was the only such record posted on day 1. it was a stellar sunday in valle crucis - where boone ultimate immortals will be molded this fall. remember, friday the 17th is the very last day for shakedown latecomers to be added.
Posted 8/1/08... red, way to battle through the backdoor to become the summer league showdown chaMps!
Posted 7/16/08... only thing we know for certain is that green is going to be battling in the ChUmpionship on the July 31st. unlucky, but remember to put your beer in a cup while watching the finals! red and black are in a serious battle to stay alive and compete against blue or white for the right to play in the finals... also, blue or white will get an automatic bid into the finals by being the #1 seed. white can take this honor from blue if: 1.) white beats black in the 1st round and 2.) white beats blue not allowing them to score more than 6 points.
Posted 6/26/08... this thursday we will begin the 2nd half of league play and the stage is being set for a stirring finish to the Summer League Showdown... will Cav, Lillian, and the rest of the White Team continue on their
road of dominance? will Weston, Alissa, and Red Team be able to bounce back from a jagged start and snag a win? Black and Blue (do you remember spring league finals?) really beat up on each other last thursday with Black finding victory after Blue opened up with a zone d that had initially put them up 3-0. ohhhh, that 1st round cap is
vicious! after a tough 1st round, Dave, Emily and the Green Team secured a nice win on thursday...
Posted 6/11/08... it was a killer summer league draft on tuesday night (6/10/08) at ewoo's house. dave king's team was able to snag zach aka zoco for the number 1 guy pick. remember, he was nominated for the spring league mvp, an honor which cav, now a captain for summer league, and mike martin (on summer hiatus) ultimately won. other 1st round draft picks... daniel "the mullet" east, young jordan, eric "the dinosaur" frauman, and big japanese speaking george. ewoo was suckered into getting the last 1st round draft pick of the fellas, but got 'em back quickly when he negotiated for the #1 lady draft pick... without hesitation he scooped up maggie - wicked pick ewoo! other 1st round lady picks include... mar, alissa, nicole, and lillian.
...from here, much crazy talked commenced. including dave alexander's rant about how he should of been picked before so and so... supposedly there is going to be a meeting at BUA headquarters regarding the ability of dave to attend future league drafts...

Different Types of Candy
There are so many different types of candy that it would be impossible to list them all, so let me just describe a few right here. Man has spent thousand of years perfecting little morsels to be plunked in the mouth and sucked on, crunched, chewed, or merely swallowed. The American Indians had their candy in the form of sassafras, and without corn syrup. Any country with sugarcane knows how delightfully sweet the canes are to chew. But here in America, we do things right and eat the best candy there is. Everyone agrees that gummy bears and candy bars snuck into church by children on Sunday night make the sermon go much faster. When different flavored gummy bears aren't available, chewing gum will do just as well. It's a type of candy made from gum base, sweetened with sugar or low calorie xylitol for those weight watchers who can't afford to put on any fat. Popcorn balls just would not fit into the pockets very well. Almost as good as gummy bears, chocolate deserves high mention for it's delicious taste. Chocolate candy comes in my types, sizes, and shapes. There's good-ole Nestlé's semi-sweet chocolate, always available as kisses. And who wouldn't want to share some chocolates with a girlfriend. Girls like chocolate, especially on Valentine's Day, which is the perfect day to give her a special kind of chocolate such as tasty Gianduja when you're in love, or maybe bittersweet chocolate if you've had a fight. I personally like milk chocolate because it's soft and melts in mouth. Some types of chocolates are smooth and good for coating onto other desserts. Good chocolate usually come in boxes, and Whitman's makes a great box of chocolates to get someone. They come with nuts, in fruit flavor creams, but not ice cream, and in flavors such as vanilla or coffee. Hard candy, such as Jolly Ranchers, is good to suck on. They have strong flavor that usually taste like a fruit, such as watermelon, orange, raspberry, apple. But Sucking on these all day will make your teeth rot out. If you go to the dentist, just explain that you like to eat lots of candy. He might ask what type you eat and if he does, tell him you like the kind that is hard, and it comes in the little plastic wrappers, but you like other types, too. |
Use a blender, ice, and a package of strawberry margarita mix. Cook with delicious Italian caprino cheese. |

Chances are you've seen Marshall M. Fredericks' work and didn't even know it. Over the course of 70 years (1928-1998), Fredericks was commissioned to create enormous lifelike sculptures in public spaces across the country, including The Expanding Universe Fountain in Washington, DC and The Spirit of Detroit. His works were often lighthearted and whimsical, always imbued with a humanist spirit, but never lacking in gravitas. This museum on the Saginaw Valley State University campus is just a sampling of his vast repertoire, including a newly added sculpture garden with botanicals to complement and contrast the sculptures, including Fredericks' Night and Day fountain.
Saginaw Art Museum gathers both contemporary and classic art in a brick-clad Gregorian Revival mansion that itself is a historical treasure. Originally designed in 1903 by Charles Adams Platt as the Ring family home, the building's exquisite interior includes dark butternut wood paneling and decorative moldings. Filling the rooms is the museum's permanent collection of paintings, prints, textiles, and sculptures from American, European, and Asian artists; African artifacts and masks; Native American art; and American and Mexican folk art. A library complements the art collection with more than 1,200 books and periodicals discussing art, as well as Leonardo da Vinci's handmade comic book depicting him as a superhero.
A roster of ever-changing current exhibitions includes showcases of forged metal sculptures, contemporary nature paintings, and the recurring Art in the Heart of the City's ART 4 ALL Exhibitions, which showcase works by local Michigan artists. Visitors peruse temporary exhibits in the exhibition wing gallery, an ultramodern glass-covered hall, or teach flowering plants how to spell "Matisse" in a formal outdoors garden.
To continue arts education outside the gallery, staffers organize themed art history and technique classes for all ages, as well as docent-led tours. They also helm the interactive Visionarea, a gallery space where children delve into art-making, science experiments, and the works of famous artists.
Michigan's Military and Space Heroes Museum is the only such museum that celebrates the wartime contributions and experiences of Michiganders who've served. The displays cover all seven of America's foreign wars, honoring the soldiers' achievements and keeping their stories alive.
Size: More than 650 exhibits, including those highlighting past governors and 13 astronauts, all of whom called Michigan home
Eye Catcher: Displays celebrating 30 Medal of Honor recipients, the largest collection of its kind in the nation; each honors one recipient and includes photos, uniforms, and personal items, such as watches and weapons
Don't Miss: Outside the museum stands a M60 "Patton" main battle tank , an F-86 Sabre aircraft, and memorial statues dedicated to Michigan natives who have served.
Hidden Gem: A collection of uniforms, including the space flightsuit worn by Col. Gregory H. Johnson, who delivered it to the museum personally
Special Programs: Every year, the museum hosts the Frankenm?dder, a 5K boot camp?style obstacle course whose proceeds benefit the museum. Tours for schools, scouts and other organizations are available.
Since 1928, the Flint Institute of the Arts (FIA) has chronicled the cultural history of the city and today continues to influence its rebirth. In that time, the museum has been designated as a National Treasure by the President's Committee on the Arts in 2002 and received the Governor's Award for Arts and Cultural Organization in 2007. As a world-class cultural institution, the FIA draws over 120,000 visitors a year to an array of exhibitions, film screening, lectures, educational outreach programs, and family events that enlighten art lovers and celebrate Flint's diversity. Within the FIA's 150,000 square feet of space, stunning gallleries of over 8,000 objects, including sculptures, paintings, and artifacts, tell the story of Flint's past and future. Its libraries and art school prepare the next generation of artists. The FIA also features a video gallery, a cafe and gift shop, a great hall for large events, and a theater for films and lectures.
The boundaries of children's imaginations expand like a sun on the horizon at the Flint Children's Museum, a creative learning space with more than 40 exhibits. The show-stopping stations are designed to engage tykes of every learning type, whether they figure out their world by experimenting, watching, hearing, or even climbing. At the Discovery Zone, kids explore environments such as the rainforest or outer space by scampering about kid-sized replicas. They get a lesson in cause and effect at the "How Things Work" section by building bridges, and try their green thumbs at urban horticulture in the Sproutside outdoor learning area. While older kids cavort about, their toddling counterparts, ages three and under, can head to the cozy Tot Spot to play with age-appropriate toys.
From art restoration to custom-made frames and gift-able artwork, the framing artisans at Framer's Edge and Gallery consider it all their expertise. Fabricating frames on-site, technicians draw from a collection of more than 5,000 mold samples to create fully customized dwellings for works of art and exceptional report cards. Additionally, the gallery hangs works from local artists and photographers available for purchase, as well as jewelry, pottery, and blown glass.

Pig Buddies USB Drive for Nature Lovers
We've seen plenty of USB drives, but this design is super cute if you like pigs. Funny thing, not everyone like pigs, but we all love bacon. Anyway, this concept USB design by Weplaygod is pretty neat and I don't even like pigs.
The mom pig acts as a USB hub, and just like in nature, the baby pigs can dock with mommy and get some milk, or in this case some data. I guess this would be a good one for farmers or anyone who has a pet pig.
Since most USB designs are pretty boring, I'd like to see this idea expanded on. Say, one large spaceship with some smaller ones in the docking ports maybe. I'm sure it will become a reality one day.

Eden Veterinary Practice: Stop Employing Pro-Cruelty Vets
We the undersigned call on Eden Veterinary Practice, Cupar, to launch an investigation into the acceptability of one of their vets, Keith Talbot, killing a so called 'giant fox' whilst a competition was being run by the Fieldsports Channel to 'kill the biggest fox in the UK'. Talbot blamed the fox for killing his parents' 19 year old cat, although with no evidence that this was the case, we believe the killing of this fox was completely unjustified and had everything to do with Trophy Hunting and nothing to do with animal welfare.

This shampoo is ok. I used to work for the company that distributed this in my city so I'm very familiar with Joico and what their products are. This shampoo smells good, and does a decent job of cleaning, but that's about it. Overall, I find that I need 2 shampoos to get a lather, and then it doesn't really moisturize as much as I need it to. The biggest CON for me is that it isn't safe for colored hair. Which I have. So I'll be moving on when this bottle is done.

This stuff is worth every penny! My hair is wavy and dry and fuzzy/frizzy on its own when I use drugstore shampoos on it. This product makes my hair shiny, silky, and bouncy. It smells divine (I often skip perfume because I love the way my hair smells so much that I don't want to cover it up!), lathers well for a sulfate free product, and feels wonderful when you rinse out. After shampooing, my hair feels soft and silky. I follow it up with the Moisture Recovery conditioner or the K Pak Intense Hydrator (use that one about once a week)

I love joico products! I use this in conjunction with the conditioner and it seriously transforms my hair everytime I use it. I have coarse, damaged, color treated hair that's dry, so moisture is very important for it. I always notice a difference after I use these two products. Scent is clean and not overpowering. I think this shampoo by itself is average, but paired with the conditioner makes it a fantastic combo. Ever since I started used joico products, I get so much more compliments on my hair. It definitely doesn't look as dry and it feels a lot smoother.

OMG, finally a shampoo I can picture myself repurchasing! I have dry, coarse hair with damage from heat styling, and I have tried Kerastase, AG, Biolage, Redken, Wen, and Dove (my favorite on this list, believe it or not), to name a few. None have been moisturizing enough to repair or prevent damage and split ends, and most have made my hair feel weighed down. This shampoo, along with the conditioner, has noticeably improved the health of my hair. My stylist, who lives and breathes Kerastase, commented on how much healthier my hair was when I got it cut last week. Equally awesome, it doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy or coated, but rather light and manageable. It lathers nicely and has a light, fresh scent. Overall great product!

I got this today and I loved it. I had tried the Kenra moisturizing shampoo/conditioner and it left my hair feeling dry and damaged. I gave it to my mom and she loved it. Anyway went and got this in the liter duo and loved the smell and the way it left my hair....soft, shiny, manageable not frizzy or flat. It's wonderful!!! I recommend it! My hair is normal but tends to get dry when I use my hot tools often like flat iron, curling wand etc. A+++++

Holy Grail At Last!!!
My hair was over processed to the point where I had dry, kinky, crunchy straw at the end of each strand, making me look about 20 years older than I am, at least. If you've ever futzed with bleach, color removers, or just way too much hair dye and heat processing, you know what I'm talking about. I tried more protein, and that made it worse, so I started a regimen of clarifying shampoo, followed by Aussie 3 Minute Miracle or Neutrogena's Triple Moisture mask, and it improved, but not by very much. Having a terrible texture makes your color look terrible on top of everything else, so I was using yet more hair dye in some attempt to look even normal. Vicious cycle.
Then I found this shampoo and the mask. Holy Grail status. These products do also contain protein (like all the Joico products), so I wasn't sure if I'd just make my problem worse, but I was at my wit's end. This gamble paid off, because after one treatment, there is NO MORE crunchy straw holding on for dear life to the ends of my hair. The combo softened and moisturized my hair like nothing else, and left it clean and lightweight.
A few notes:
They really paid attention to market research with the whole texture and feel of this stuff. It's a pale, creamy pearlescent blue color, and it's got a soft, creamy lather that feels like you're washing your hair with silky chenille foam. leaves your hair feeling clean and soft.
Smells like a mermaid. Salty ocean air, seaweed, and maybe a hint of cucumber and musk. A subtle smell, and not ozonic or chemical like a typical Cool Water scent, but neither fruity, floral, or sweet like most of the hair and body products out now. Doesn't particularly linger.
Silky smooth. It feels stronger and the frizz is GONE, but my hair's not weighed down at all. I add a serum to weigh it down, actually, because at its current length, the ends need a little weight. Because the texture is so much better, my color looks a lot better, too. It doesn't have mirror shine or anything, but its natural sheen has come back -- this line has just basically turned the clock back on my hair by about 10 years.
I'm in love with this stuff. It's worth every penny, and performs better than anything I've used at any price, from Kerestase to Aussie. I'm ready to become a loyalist to this line.

This Shampoo is great, it leaves my hair so soft. I have dry damaged hair from dying it blonde, and this is the only shampoo that i have used that doesn't leave my hair dry. The smell is also nice and stayed in my hair all day. Sometimes you can find this and the matching conditioner at places like marshals or tj maxx at a much cheaper price, which is defiantly a plus.

Ive recently been comming across reviews on makeupally that are VERY surprizing to me, my aunt has been Hairdresser/Beautician for 40years so i always go to beauty stores where you HAVE to show ur cosmetology lisence to buy the hair products. i was MORTIFYED yesterday when i was at ulta looking at Joicos liters and regular sized items even tho they are the same color bottles there old product. ON THE BOTTLES OF JOICO I BUY WITH MY AUNT THERE IS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a JOICO recycles and green earth emblem PRINTED ON THE FRONT OF THE BOTTLE NEXT TO THE molectular protien levels. this emblem was NOT ON THE BOTTLES at ulta or even some stores in the mall THAT MEANS THAT PRODUCT IS OVER 2YEARS OLD!!!!! please becareful when buying professional products even if you think ur gettting good things for your hair you have no idea how old it is. the new revitaluxe treatment is the only new joico item that ive seen that doesnt have the little recycle earth emblem printed on the front. on to the review I LOVE this shampoo keeps my hair moisturized and i use in conjunction with my all time fav shampoo by redken the real control shampoo smells amazing( that is the only redken product i consistantly buy because it doesnt make my hair fall out in the shower) Also i use Kenra moisturizing conditioner for YEARS i know exactly what it looks and smells like if its OLD it will look pearly foamy creammy white and smell HEAVLY LIKE COCONUTS the REAL KENRA moisturizing conditioner is a veryyy creamy light yellowish color NOT WHITE and it melts into your hair you can tell the difference. and the smell is light coconutt but not as strong as others. i also see these PIRATED hair products at target omg -____- i cant belive ppl are getting away with ripping off these namebrands ive used alot of salon products so i know what there supposed to look and smell. i saw pureology hydrate at target.... i open it up and its a CLEAR SHAMPOO!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME>?>??? pureology hydrate is PURPLE!!! ! i KNOW THAT FOR A FACT and smells like herbs this shamppoo smelled like strawberrys but it was CLEARLY in a pureology labled bottle and looked just like the ones at ulta .... i cant belive how companys get away with this. so KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU SEE ALOT OF GOOD REVIEWS for a good product you know and love then you see the few bad ones they probably got a damaged/old expired product. or it just didnt work for there hair type. just remember consider the source (: have a great day loves hope i helped ( BTW the joico bottles have had this recylce plant logo on the bottles of shampoo/conditioner/treatments for 2years now so if urs DOESNT HAVE IT its old product, it will show a picture little emblem of a windmiell and it says joico.com gogreen next to the protien weights) i will post a picture in the joicomoisture shampoo window thingy for you guys (:

My hair is thick, wavy and dry from the seemingly endless winter months. I had been using Head & Shoulders for the past 6 months due to awful dandruff which I attributed to our town's very hard water. I happened to see a litre sale in a salon store with the Joico products on sale for $34.99 - $43.99 for the shampoo and conditioner sets, so I decided I would pick up a set to give my hair better treatment. The Moisture Recovery set came up to $36 with tax which is reasonable for the amount of product. Regular price of the litre sets are anywhere from $50 - $100
First of all, I loved the smell. It smells fresh and light, something I prefer to overpowering floral or perfumed scents. The woman in the store suggested I use Moisture Recovery as my hair would definitely benefit from what the product offers to do. Once I got home I tried the shampoo and I immediately felt my purchase was worth it. The first wash, there is little to no lathering, but once you rinse and repeat, there is a lot of foam and gentle cleaning. It rinsed clean from my hair. I find that the pump distributes a very precise amount, but I think two applications are necessary with this shampoo. All in all I think I made a wise choice in buying this particular type from Joico. I am enjoying soft and smooth hair that smells great and looks healthier already.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Nemo!
Facts about Nemo
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Nemo's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Nemo is an adorable black and white boy . He is 9 weeks old and very active. Loves to play with the other cats and loves people. He was rescued from a kill shelter.
No Appointment Needed. LBHS's "Kitty Cove" is located inside the Pet Supplies Plus Store, (down aisle 6), 3644 Long Beach Rd, Oceanside, NY
Other Pets at Long Beach Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nemo, a Island Park Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Island Park, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Island Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Island Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Island Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Island Park paves the way for another one to be saved.
