Match Preview
Jones still sidelined for Stoke Stoke striker Kenwyne Jones will miss Tuesday night's Carling Cup second-round tie at home to Shrewsbury as his ankle injury is still causing him problems. The #8million signing from Sunderland missed the weekend's defeat by Tottenham and is a doubt for Saturday's Barclays Premier match against Chelsea. Fellow forward Mamady Sidibe has undergone an operation on the Achilles tendon he ruptured against Spurs and he is now a long-term absentee. Manager Tony Pulis is likely to freshen up his starting line-up for the cup tie, but insists the Potters will not be taking victory for granted against their League Two opponents. Pulis told Stoke's official website: "We certainly won't be taking Shrewsbury lightly. "They've had a fantastic start to the season and they will come here confident that they can put on a show, so make no mistake, it's going to be a tough game. He added: "If we want to push on as a club, then success in the cup competitions is important to us. We proved that last season with our success in the FA Cup (where they reached the quarter-finals before losing to eventual champions Chelsea)." Shrewsbury will be without winger Lionel Ainsworth and defender Danny O'Donnell. The duo both picked up groin injuries in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aldershot. Ainsworth is expected to miss just the cup tie, but O'Donnell is suspected to have picked up a hernia, which would keep him out for longer. O'Donnell's likely extended absence means that Shane Cansdell-Sheriff will get a chance to impress manager Graham Turner. Midfielder Kevin McIntyre will be available after completing a three-match ban, but striker Matt Harrold is unavailable as he serves a one-game suspension for his red card against the Shots. Kris Bright could return to the squad after his recovery from illness though fellow striker Nathan Elder (knee) remains a long-term injury victim with knee ligament damage.

Match Report
Potters advance past Shrews Stoke secured a place in the third round of the Carling Cup with a 2-1 over Shrewsbury thanks to goals from Jon Walters and Tuncay. But whether goalkeeper Asmir Begovic will be heading along the road to Wembley with the club remains to be seen. The Bosnian was not included in tonight's squad, leading to speculation he is about to leave the Britannia Stadium, perhaps for Chelsea. Begovic was signed last season from Portsmouth for a reported #3.5million and started three games at the tail-end of the campaign after Thomas Sorensen was injured. However, the Dane regained the jersey and played in the first two league matches of this season. He was on the bench against the League Two side with Carlo Nash promoted. Stoke took this second-round match by the scruff of the neck in the first half when they scored twice without reply. Steve Leslie got a late consolation for the League Two side. It was Walters' first goal for the club. The former Ipswich forward, who arrived last week, got on the end of a cross from Matthew Etherington to send a glancing header beyond goalkeeper Chris Neal in the 26th minute. This time there was no dispute about Walters' effort. He thought he had equalised in stoppage time against Tottenham on Saturday only for referee Chris Foy to allow play to continue. Shrewsbury suffered a further blow in the 37th minute and again Etherington was the provider. The midfielder's delivery into the area was met by Tuncay and for the second time in the space of 11 minutes Neal was beaten by a header. Then Whelan thumped in a shot from distance the goalkeeper did well to parry as Stoke kept up the pressure. Stoke were not content to sit on their lead and Etherington surged forward in the 54th minute and drove in a shot that caught Neal on the hop. The goalkeeper was grateful to turn it around the post for a corner. Shrewsbury were finding it difficult getting out of their own half and Whelan was off-target from distance before Michael Tonge dragged a shot wide of the post. Pulis decided to shake things up and brought on Ricardo Fuller for Tuncay in the 67th minute with Chelsea to come on Saturday. The sight of Fuller coming on the pitch must have been slightly un-nerving for Shrewsbury, given he scored against Tottenham However to their credit they pulled a goal back in the 79th minute through Leslie, who headed in at the back post. Leslie took full advantage after Ryan Shawcross and then Nash failed to deal with a routine cross from Sean McAllister. Walters should have restored Stoke's two-goal advantage in the 85th minute but he somehow clipped his close-range effort wide of the post.

Calling All Hearts and Woman To Woman (2010–13)[edit]
Three months after the birth of her son, on June 27, 2010, she returned to the music industry, filling in for Hayley Williams to sing the chorus to B.o.B's "Airplanes (Part II)", featuring Eminem during the 2010 BET Awards. Over a year after Cole announced the beginning production of her fourth studio album, she released her first single, "I Ain't Thru", featuring YMCMB (Young Money) rap star, Nicki Minaj, on October 15, 2010, her birthday.[30] Although not a big hit on the charts and later revealed as a regret as a single choice by Cole, fans loved the single and viewed it as a great comeback along with credits. Her fourth studio album, Calling All Hearts was released on December 21, 2010, featuring collaborations from Timbaland, Nicki Minaj, Tank, and Faith Evans.[4] It also featured Cole's mother Dr. Yvonne Cole on a gospel track inspired by Faith as well. With opening sales of 128,000 copies, she released Imani Entertainment as her management, shortly after.[2][31] She performed the promotional single, "Long Way Down" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Wendy Williams Show, and 106 & Park, in which a 30 minute concert by her was performed. In February 2011, Cole released her second single from Calling All Hearts, "Take Me Away", to urban radio as a fan choice.[32][33][34] Cole performed the single on January 19, 2011 on Conan. The single's video, directed by Taj Stansberry, premiered on VEVO on April 18, 2011 and was also released on 106 & Park later that day. The song has since then peaked on the Billboard US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at #27.
On January 17, 2011, Cole tweeted "Would like for u guys to know that Manny Halley is no longer my management." followed by "Someone said if the people around u won't change, change the people around you." This happened shortly after the decline of opening week sales of Cole's album Calling All Hearts.[35] She also disclosed that recent business disagreements also played part in their departure. This is Cole's first album to be released without Halley, as he was with her at the beginning of her career.[36]
Cole started development on her fifth studio album shortly after she came out with her fourth album (Calling All Hearts). Cole began production on the project working first with writers Ester Dean and Betty Wright. She also collaborated with producers Boi-1da, Cool & Dre, Bangladesh, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Toxic, Mave, and Earl Powell. This is her first project to be released without A&R Executive Ron Fair. Her fifth studio album, Woman to Woman was released on November 19, 2012.[37] The album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 selling 96,000 copies in its first week in the United States, becoming Cole's fifth consecutive top ten album.[38] In its second week, the album rose to number three, where it sold 37,100 copies.[39] In its third week, the album fell two spots to number five, selling 28,600 copies.[5][40] The lead single from Woman to Woman , "Enough of No Love", featuring YMCMB rapper and past collaborator, Lil Wayne was sent to radio[41] and released for digital download on July 3, 2012.[42] The song was written by Redd Stylez and Cole, and was produced by Harmony with a mid-tempo R&B production.[43] It peaked at number seven on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. On August 9, 2012, the song debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100 where it ultimately peaked at number 84.[44] The second single, "Trust and Believe" was released for digital download on October 22, 2012[45] and again on November 13, 2012.[46] On October 24, it was ranked the number one added song to Urban radio of the week.[47][48][49][50] "I Choose You" was released as the third single during August 2013. Cole embarked on her third headlining concert tour, in support of her fifth studio album, Woman to Woman. Visiting North America and Europe the tour will have 27 total dates. Singer Chrisette Michele was the supporting act for the North American leg.[51]
Point of No Return (2014–present)[edit]
In September 2013, Cole returned to the studio and began recording her sixth studio album.[52] On October 2, 2013 it was confirmed that Keyshia Cole & her former manager Manny Halley had resolved their differences & Halley is currently managing Keyshia Cole again.[53] The lead single from Cole's sixth studio album, "Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)" was released as a digital download, on March 31, 2014, and officially impacted U.S. Rhyhtmic radio on April 1, 2014.[54][55] In March 2014, Cole revealed the title of her sixth studio album to be Point of No Return.[56] "Rick James", featuring rapper Juicy J, was released alongside "Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)" as a digital download in March 2014, while "She" followed as the third single from the album on July 8, 2014. The album was released on October 7, 2014.[57]
Keyshia Cole announced she will be on joint tour with K. Michelle beginning January 2015 to promote her new album Point of No Return and K. Michelle's new Vh1 reality show "K. Michelle: My Life" spin-off of "Love & Hip Hop" as well as her new reality show Keyshia Cole: All In, which premiered on February 24, 2015. Keyshia is currently working hard on her 7th studio album and preparing for her upcoming world tour in Spring 2015.[58]
Other ventures[edit]
Reality television[edit]
In July 2006, Cole premiered her 6 episode docu-series, titled Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, on BET. With record breaking views, the show viewed Cole's life as an artist, daughter, and sister, performing, visiting her home town, and starting production on her next album.
In mid-July 2011, Cole tweeted that she, her husband Daniel, and James DeBose will be launching a new reality TV show, entitled "Keyshia & Daniel: Family First".[citation needed] Shooting of the show began during the Summer of 2011. During the 8 episode docu-series, Cole will be crafting her follow up to Calling All Hearts. "I just kind of lay out all my emotions then we start from there" says Cole. "I usually work with big name producers and stuff like once all from my heart and soul is out that I need to get out."[citation needed] Aside from a look into the making of her new album, currently titled Woman to Woman, Cole and her husband, Daniel, re-wed during taping. The first episode of the show aired on BET on October 9, 2012 with 2.9 million viewers. In November 2014, BET confirmed that Keyshia Cole is back with her third reality TV show Keyshia Cole: All In; which was originally slated to premiere during Fall 2014, but aired on February 24, 2015, just in time for her 7th studio album.
Shoe line with Steve Madden[edit]
Cole announced that she was teaming up with fashion designer Steve Madden to create her own shoe collection, specifically high heels, wedges, and boots. "I am super excited to collaborate with Steve Madden.", stated Cole. "It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I love his style and I think we came up with an amazing vibrant collection. We have something for every fashion diva!"[citation needed]
Lil' Mo[edit]
A feud between Keyshia Cole and R&B singer Lil' Mo originated in August 2005 via controversial radio series Star and Buc Wild Morning Show, the lead hosts of whom were well noted in the press for ridiculing the death of Mo's close friend Aaliyah.[59] While on the show, allegations of Mo criticizing Keyshia Cole's presence in the industry were made, where Mo was reported to have compared Cole's vocal talent to "new" chicks like Ashanti.[60] Angered, Keyshia Cole rushed to Dream Hotel in New York, where Lil' Mo's manager Phil Thornton and a stylist were preparing a concert venue.[60] Cole angrily questioned the two why they were present; the pair responded that they wanted to see Mo. Cole in response stated, "You all are traitors. [Lil' Mo] is the enemy," and immediately rushed off.[60] Lil' Mo stated that witnesses from the scene recalled Cole being "drunk".[60] On October 7, 2005, during her interview with Angie Martinez on Hot 97, Keyshia Cole challenged Lil' Mo's take on the event and cited her own side of the story being true; insituating that Lil' Mo was a liar.[61]
In March 2013, roughly 8 years following the controversy, Keyshia Cole was criticized by urban media outlets for her vocal critique of Beyoncé's "Bow Down/I Been On" via Twitter.[62][63] The incident provoked a response from Lil' Mo who told HipHollywood in April 2013, "I've seen [Keyshia] talking about, 'First you talk about women's empowerment now you talkin' about bow down.' But, [just] a couple of weeks ago you just said that [Beyoncé] was your queen and you dissed Michelle [...] You can't get mad. Just sit down, get off Twitter; if you can't handle it, keep your opinions to yourself. Who is your publicist? Who is tweeting for you?"[64]
Days after the release of Lil' Mo's interview, Keyshia Cole dissed Mo via her Twitter account, stating: "You gotta be able to smile through the bullshit."[65] Mo then responded to Cole, "If YOU can't take that, then the whole interview is gonna fuck the front of ya [panties] up."[65] Despite the exchanges, in May 2013, Mo addressed to The Breakfast Club that there was no beef between her and Cole. She added, "I felt some type of way, she shaded Michelle first. I feel like when you try to attack (what you think is) the weakest link, be careful. Why are you tryin' to come for [Beyoncé]? She's at the Superbowl. Bitch you ain't there. It's not about what you said, it's all about how you delivered [...] She's not gonna say it to nobody's face."[66] Additionally, Mo revealed via Twitter that she recently designed outfits with the caption, 'Who's your publicist?'[67] Keyshia Cole, who was offended, perceived this as another attempt for Mo to take shots at her.[67] Cole responded to Mo via Instagram in a captioned picture that read: "The saddest thing about betrayal is, that it never comes from your enemies!"[67] Mo lashed at Cole's response, tweeting: "[I've] been saying, 'Who's ya publicist?' for over 13 years. For all the [dumb] ass niggas that think I made it up the other day: I got sayings, yo."[67]
Gucci Mane[edit]
On March 16, 2012, Cole came at Gucci Mane for the controversial song "Truth", on which Gucci rapped, "I did a song with Keyshia Cole and I know you still miss her. But Puff was f---ing her while you was falling in love with her." implying that, during the time of her rumored relationship with Young Jeezy, Cole was cheating on Jeezy with rap mogul and her "Last Night" collaborator Diddy. Cole stated on the radio, "Putting all ya trust in some of these 'Hood Rappers'... How you gonna be a G, and you spreading lies, to sell mix tapes! Where ya talent at. Dude ain't have to lie though! Could've kept me out of it."[68]
Coles voice has been described as having a "flexible range of pop, the muscular punch of soul and the hard character of hip hop" and contains a "smoky flavor, and a husky texture."[69] Cole's musical themes and lyrics touch upon the topics of empowering, reflection, heartache and love.[70] Keyshia's musical genre is R&B with styles of Contemporary R&B, Adult Contemporary R&B and Pop.[71] Coles fifth studio album "Woman to Woman" (2012) was described by Ben Ratliff of The New York Times as a R&B almanac of shaky romance, with nearly every song a first-person narrative with gnarled details, endlessly recombining data about suspicion, jealousy, pride, punishment, self-respect, the led-up, the aftermath."[72] The albums lyrics revolved around "emotionally painful romantic issues."[73]
Cole grew up listening to mentor Tupac Shakur. Cole cites Mary J. Blige as one of her biggest musical inspirations, she also cites R&B singers Brandy and Monica. In an interview, Cole spoke about artists from the 1980s that influenced her. "Anita Baker, her voice is incredible and her lyrics are deep. Really listen to them." Cole proclaims. "Big Daddy Kane, the original… you can't think Brooklyn or door knockers and not think Big Daddy Kane, smooth operator: One of hip-hop's pioneers. LL Cool J, one of the first Mc's to really dissect lyrics and turn them inside out; and he made it sexy! MC Lyte, The female MC that rhymes in such a way that you don't care if she was male or female...her voice tone is crazy, and her lyrical game bananas.Queen Latifah, She represented the strong female MC, she showed us and taught us about flow and lyrical dexterity. Kid 'n Play, They showed you how to take your rap game to the next level...movies!"
Personal life[edit]
In May 2009, Cole began dating former NBA player Daniel Gibson. They were engaged on January 1, 2010. On March 2, 2010, they welcomed their first child, Daniel Hiram Gibson, Jr. (DJ), into the world. They were married on May 21, 2011.[74] They renewed their vows in September 2011 in Hawaii.[75] "My husband wanted me to have my dream wedding so he flew all of our family members here. He's giving me something I will never forget! Amazing," Cole said. The entire wedding weekend was filmed and aired on their new BET reality TV series Keyshia and Daniel: Family First, on October 9 and 16, 2012.[76] On March 21, 2014 during an interview Keyshia Cole announced and confirmed that she and her husband NBA player Daniel Gibson had broken up, but they have not yet divorced each other.[77]

I am looking into getting my first "carry" gun! But I am still deciding on what cal. to get (i narrowed it down to 9mm,.40,.45). Also,I am still deciding on what "size" to get. I have fairly big hands and I like a GOOD grip on ANY gun I shoot, but I know it will still have to be small enough to be concealed! So, ANY input ya'll have would be very much helpful!!! I am hopefully getting my CCW on Friday Thanks AND I want to stick with mainline guns, not some joe smoe gun and be made right here the the good ole' USA

Spend a little time reading in the handgun section as I know I've answered dozens of threads just like yours. I did chuckle when you said you narrowed the caliber to between 9mm, .40, and .45 - at least you eliminated that pesky .44 Magnum...
Sir; by posting in the Glock; I'll assume you like Glock with larger hands? you'll enjoy the Glock. G-17 9mm G-22 .40; are the ''standard full size''; follow up with your thoughts; Thanks for asking :
Craig ♥ Exercise daily - walk with the Lord! .
Just a suggestion: You might want to try posting in, say, the more-general Semi-Auto Handguns section (if you're sure you want an auto) or the General Handgun Discussion section (if you're not sure). By posting in the Glock section, you're obviously going to get mostly Glock suggestions. Or... Maybe you're already decided on a Glock???
"If the Earth were made of gold, I guess men would kill for a handful of dirt." - Gary Cooper's last line in the movie THE GARDEN OF EVIL
Just to clear it up......YES I am looking into getting a GLOCK....so thats why I posted it HERE!!!

Wally Parks died today. What can I say? What can anyone say? Wally was one of the most important people in my professional life. From the very early stages of The Jalo...

To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
This marks the one one single greatest loss to hot rodding in its entire history. This man affected so many people in so many ways it cannot be grasped in a month of concentrated thinking. Truly sad, and must be remembered by all who ever enjoyed a hot rod magazine or a day at a drag race- just as a start. RIP Wally, hero of the rodding world
Sad to hear, Wally, my dad, and a number of others were the founding members of the local Dust Devils car club.....a plaque I still run in my truck today. Wally did so much for this passion we have. Godspeed Wally.
Wally Parks lived a long life and did many, many exceptional things for hot rodding and drag racing. He will be missed, but we should all be so lucky to have accomplished as much as he did by the time we punch out. Rest in peace.
next time your out in the shop/garage, raise your wrench up in his honor. This man and many others who passed this year set the standard that we follow today. He will be missed. RIP and God Speed. [wipes tears away]
Thank You Mr. Wally Parks. I hold the highest respect for you and whole heartedly appreciate what you have done. Without you, it would be hard to imagine how things would be. Your passion and dedication was, is, and will always be an important impact on me. Here's Wally inside the Pierson brothers coupe (orig. photo) Here's a better pic and I just can't stop thinking about what he has done, rembering this great man. Ken
Icons will never die in the hearts of those that follow them.......talk about your hot rod heaven...THE MAN has finally arrived!!! Thanks for the ride here, Wally...my condolences to his family.
God Bless your soul Wally Parks ! So many thank you's for so much you have done . God (Wally) speed Brother . R.I.P.
a void has just opened in the hot rod world that no one will ever be able to fill. we were lucky to have him for so long. R.I.P.
I can see it now; the Heavens Gate newspaper reports that Wally Parks and Pete Petersen are planning to open a new drag strip. Wild Willy Borsch, Big John Mazmaniam, Tony Nancy, Jungle Jim, among others are reportedly already building cars to compete. Gray Baskerville will be covering the event for the newly formed Heavenly Hot Rod assn
Can honestly say I have been waiting to hear this, as sad as it is he was here for a long time, and as everyone else has said his acheivements will outlive him and probably grow his legend into a bigger man than he physically was. sad, sad day.
RIP Wally, I got to meet him for the first time at Hotrod Reunion last year, He left an everlasting effect on me, Quite a guy.
I just got in from work, I'm very sad.... But, Wally did lead a very long & productive life. PIP Mr Parks.
wow, what can you say! Unfortunately I never got the chance to meet Wally, but I think like most of us. I felt like I knew him. He seemed like the kind of guy who could accomplish anything while still taking the time to talk to anyone. This picture always seemed to really bring it to light for me....here's Wally Parks....the guy who started it all...but still just a person sitting on a running board like the rest of us. rest in peace Wally Zach

Viewing 7 posts - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) Author Posts November 25, 2009 at 7:14 pm #109658 scoboot 6 Posts It is obvious by the way that they are hiding the identity, that it is someone we know. If it were an extra or new character they would not have a reason to hide them. So who do you think it is? I mean, I have been thinking about it and I can only come up with someone like Fish's Dad or Nigel. But they just seem too far fetched. I have only been watching since last year, so I would love to hear other peoples theories on this. November 25, 2009 at 7:16 pm #740277 discodan 70 Posts Maybe Alison is out of her coma? November 25, 2009 at 7:55 pm #740298 Luke Kerr 224 Posts What about Ross' brother as Mitch's attorney? I don't remember seeing him in Seattle. Is he back in Llanview? November 25, 2009 at 8:15 pm #740319 scoboot 6 Posts Since they seem to be running Ross out of town as a psycho, that would be a good way to get the rayburn's out of the picture. But I know many women who would be dissapointed in the loss of his hotness. BTW, who is Allison?

If allison was out of the asylum I would have thought that they would have discovered that at the hospital and notified someone, but still could be a possibility. Who would I like it to be – I would love to see it turn out to be someone shocking like Powell Lord or Lindsey brainwashed or forced or maybe Miles Lawrence or dang the guy that Lindsey killed I cant remember his name. No I dont want him back but if he was still alive, lindsey would be released and the writers could kill him off again.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Wall rides early lead into regional final rematch
MIDLAND — While the season has had its up and downs, Wall High School head coach Tate Lombard can look back at two statistics — rebounding and shooting percentage — which have had a direct correlation to wins.
In a matchup between Top-10 girls squads in the Region I-2A Regional Semifinals, the No. 7 Lady Hawks won the rebounding battle (42-15) and held No. 5 Canadian to 25 percent shooting in a 43-27 win Friday inside the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center.
"They played tough and got after it," Lombard said of the Lady Cats. "But we did a great job on the boards. It was definitely a strength of ours going into this game."
With the win, Wall (32-4 overall) earned the right to play Jim Ned (28-7) for the fourth time this season at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Region I-2A final.
"That's how it's supposed to be," Lombard said, cracking a smile when posed with facing off against Jim Ned for the fourth time. "Our kids will be excited. Anytime you get a chance to play in the regional finals is a great opportunity. They'll be ready to go."
The Lady Hawks were ready to go from the onset of the game, jumping out to a 14-2 lead by the 3:40 of the first quarter.
Wall jumped out to the 12-point lead by getting the ball inside to its two leading scorers — Maddi and Bobbi Chitsey.
The Chitsey sisters combined for 10 of the 14 points during the first-quarter offensive surge. In that span, the siblings made sure to score off the block and alter shots with their height and length.
"I just wanted to step up for my team, and play my role," said Maddi Chitsey, who finished with a game-high 17 points. "I feel like scoring in the paint and playing good defense is my role."
Maddi, a sophomore, recorded several key blocks during the surge that forced the Lady Cats players to take outside shots.
"The first quarter was really big for us," Lombard said. "I thought we did a good job, after the (first) quarter, to keep them about 10 points down most of the game."
The defensive dominance resulted in the Lady Hawks taking a 16-4 advantage by the end of the first quarter.
"The size prevailed tonight," Canadian head coach Kevin Richardson said. "We just didn't have a great answer inside for Wall. Their defense was so good tonight; it was hard to get the ball inside. Their strength inside was more than we could handle."
The Lady Hawks would continue their success, increasing their lead to 28-13 by halftime.
"We though they were going to be really tough with their full-court press," Wall junior said Stella Doyle, who finished with 11 points. "So we knew we would have to have a good game inside to help us win. It was a huge momentum changer."
Despite having a 17-point (32-15) deficit in the third quarter, the Lady Cats (31-2) made things interesting in the final frame.
Canadian, thanks to a long-distance 3-pointer by Maci Merket, cut the deficit to 37-24 at the 4:11 mark of the fourth. Merket finished with a team-high 15 points.
But the Lady Hawks responded, closing the fourth on a 6-3 run to earn the victory and right to play District 6-2A rival Jim Ned.
"It will be a fun game," Maddi Chitsey said.

Mudslide's Youngest Victim Found Amid Rubble
The body of a four-month-old baby has been pulled out of the rubble after a devastating mudslide in Washington State.
The grim discovery came as authorities were expected to revise upwards the official death toll from Saturday's slide in the small community of Oso.
So far, 26 people have been confirmed dead, including nine bodies that have yet to be pulled out.
Ninety people are still counted as missing. Authorities are checking into 35 other people who may or may not have been in the area at the time of the slide.
Baby girl Sanoah Huestis became the youngest victim of the tragedy in this small town about 55 miles (90km) north of Seattle, on Saturday morning.
The girl was with her grandmother, Christina Jefferds, when the slide hit. The woman is also confirmed to have died.
Dale Petersen, the girl's great-uncle, said that as he arrived at the scene on Thursday, a firefighter informed him and others that the infant had been found.
"We spent a lot of time together," he said of the baby girl.
The rescue teams have worked relentlessly to try to find survivors, their search hampered by treacherous condition and the risk of further slide.
"If you could imagine houses, trees and a bunch of mud put in a blender, run for a bit and dumped back on the ground, that's what it looks like," said Washington National Guard Master Sergeant Chris Martin.
Officials have acknowledged that some victims' remains may never be recovered from the mud-caked debris.
An estimated 180 people lived in the path of the mudslide, which took place after a rain-soaked hillside collapsed.
Seismic signals have showed there were two slides about four minutes apart during the disaster, with smaller slides continuing for days.

I will be attending a black-tie charity event later this month. I own a very nice black suit. Is it acceptable to wear it with a black tie?
It is probably better to wear a good black suit you already own that fits you properly than to rent a generic tux with a ballpark fit--especially since designers are now making tuxedos that aren't much different from black suits. All you're missing, really, is stripes on the sides of your trousers and grosgrain or satin on your lapels. I would suggest, however, that you wear a shirt with a placket covering the buttons, especially if you wear a bow tie. It will give your look a dressier air.

Re: What Is A Boat Really Worth?
Big huge expensive boats are more formal than less expensive boats.
In Julie's price range, a verbal offer that clarified whether there was a finance contingency and a promise to send the contract and good faith deposit right behind it, should suffice. But, it is the sellers call.
For that matter, when I made my offer on this boat, the seller, my broker, the seller's broker and me were all in 4 different, non-contiguous states. The offer was not held up by the speed of the post office. I committed that the check would go in the mail to my broker today. The offer was brought forward without it. We did haggle for a week or two, in which time the check was not cashed. I don't think the brokers want the responsibility for the actual cash, unless there is an actual deal.
However, my broker was able to vouch for me, as we had just gone through survey on another that failed. He knew I was good for it.

An Introduction to the Spambayes Project
The Spambayes Project is one of many projects inspired by Paul Graham's "A Plan for Spam" (www.paulgraham.com/spam.html). This famous article talks about using a statistical technique called Bayesian Analysis to identify whether an e-mail message is spam. For the full story of how the mathematics behind Spambayes works and how it has evolved, see Gary Robinson's accompanying article on page 58.
In a nutshell, the system is trained by a set of known spam messages and set of known non-spam, or "ham", messages. It breaks the messages into tokens (words, loosely speaking) and gives each token a score according to how frequently it appears in each type of message. These scores are stored in a database. A new message is tokenized and the tokens are compared with those in the score database in order to classify the message. The tokens together give an overall score—a probability that the message is spam.
The fact that you train Spambayes by using your own messages is one of its strengths. It learns about the kinds of messages, both ham and spam, that you receive. Other spam-filtering tools that use blacklists, generic spam-identification rules or databases of known spams don't have this advantage.
The Spambayes software classifies e-mail by adding an X-Spambayes-Classification header to each message. This header has a value of spam, ham or unsure. You then use your existing e-mail software to filter based on the value of that header. We use a scale of spamminess going from 0 (ham) to 1 (spam). By default, < 0.2 means ham and > 0.9 means spam. Any e-mail between those figures is marked as unsure. You can tune these thresholds yourself; see below for information on how to configure the software.
Spambayes is different from other spam classifiers in three ways: its test-based design philosophy, its tokenizer and its classifier.
We can all think of obvious ways to identify spam: it has SHOUTING subject lines; it tells you how to Make Money Fast!!!; it purports to be from the vice president of Nigeria or his wife. It's tempting to tune any spam-classification software according to obvious rules. For instance, it should obviously be case-sensitive, because FREE is a much better spam clue than free. But the Spambayes team refused from the outset to take anything at face value. One of the earliest components of the software was a solid testing framework, which would compare new ideas against the previous version. Any idea that didn't improve the results was ditched. The results were often surprising; for instance, case sensitivity made no significant difference. This prove-it-or-lose-it approach has helped develop an incredibly accurate system, with little wasted effort.
The tokenizer does the job of splitting messages into tokens. It has evolved from simple split-on-whitespace into something that knows about the structure of messages, for instance, tagging words in the Subject line so that they are separately identified from words in the body. It also knows about their content, for instance, tokenizing embedded URLs differently from plain text. All the special rules in the tokenizer have been rigorously tested and proven to improve accuracy. This includes deliberately hiding certain tokens—for example, we strip HTML decorations and ignore most headers by default. Surprising decisions, but they're backed up by testing.
The classifier is the statistical core of Spambayes, the number cruncher. This has evolved a great deal since its beginnings in Paul Graham's article, again through test-based development. Gary's article, "A Statistical Approach to the Spam Problem" (page 58), covers the classifier in detail.
The Spambayes software is available for download from sf.net/projects/spambayes. It requires Python 2.2 or above and version 2.4.3 or above of the Python e-mail package. If you're running Python 2.2.2 or above, you should already have this. If not, you can download it from mimelib.sf.net and install it: unpack the archive, cd to the email-2.4.3 directory and type setup.py install. This will install it in your Python site-packages directory. You'll also need to move aside the standard e-mail library; go to your Python Lib directory, and rename the file email as email_old.
Because the project is in constant development, things are sure to change between my writing this article and the magazine hitting the newsstand. I'll publish a summary of any major changes on an Update page at www.entrian.com/spambayes.
Some of the things we're working on as I write this article include more flexible command-line training; enabling integration with more e-mail clients, such as Mutt; web-based configuration; security features for the web interface; and easier installation. I'll provide full details of these items on the Update page.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to working from home is the fact that you're at home.
The telework era: Better in theory than in practice
Telework centers: Real telework?
Sure, it's important to have support from your manager and the necessary equipment, but for telework to succeed, it's also vital for your spouse, children, neighbors and parents to be supportive. If you're working from home and a family member assumes that means you can drop what you're doing to go to the store or take the kids to soccer practice, you're in trouble.
A veteran of years of teleworking said it took some time to train family members on what to expect.
"I have had to disappoint my children a number of times when they've come charging into my work area with a request for my time (after all, I'm home, aren't I?), only to have to tell them that I'm working and can't give them what they want," the reader told us. "Early on, that resulted in some battles, especially with my teenage daughter, who would just barge in in the middle of a conference call. But eventually the boundaries got established as inviolable. So now she lives next door but wouldn't dare bring my granddaughter over for me to watch for a couple of hours just because I'm home."
A reader named Lee said the family's needs are part of the telework equation.
"Working from home, where home includes spouse and kids, is a huge challenge, particularly in the summertime," Lee wrote. "It's just not fair to expect the family to morph their behavior eight hours a day because you are working. Perhaps tax incentives to soundproof an existing office or build out a basement office would help? I love the privilege of working from home, but my family sure doesn't."
Another reader, Jessica, suggested taking advantage of laptop PCs' portability. "Even if you tell your family members that you're busy, they still have the concept that you're just in front of the computer doing nothing," she wrote. "Sometimes when I'm really busy, I would just go to a coffee shop. I could work better that way."
"Discipline is the key to successful work, whether at home or in the office," another reader wrote. "The ability to say no goes a long way to curing distraction issues but is so frowned upon in the 'go along to get along' team player mentality that you find in most federal bureaucracies that most successful government employees just can't say no."
"In informal discussions with co-workers, all admit — even the boss — that they do other tasks while teleworking — from kids to neighbors to walks with the dogs that exceed the 30 minutes of leave they put in for," another reader said. "It is possible to put more discipline in the telework by having webcams or videoconferencing or always-on instant messaging. And is there anything really wrong with that in exchange for the commute?"

The National Information Exchange Model's usefulness extends far beyond its origins in justice and law enforcement.
The key is "Is the work getting done". Personally there are more distractions at work than there are at home because I live alone. There are distractions at work also.
I love teleworking. I have my own office at home and peace and quiet if I want or radio in the back ground. My husband will occassionally ask me a question but it doesn't stop me from working while I answer or converse with him. My older grandkids will come over and spend the night but they know if I am in my office they are not to come in and pester me unless an emergency, (none yet). They will ask an occassional question but still it does not stop me from working. If you are not disiplined then stay at work. I think I have better work ethics at home than at work. I sure get more done.
The key to successfully teleworking is working. If those in your support system cannot or will not respect that requirement then you are better off at a telecenter or back at the office. Effective teleworking requires discipline and diligence in addressing your professional duties and responsibilities. If you cannot maintain the distinction between "working from home" and "being at home", you are not the best candidate for a telework arrangement.

The Glass Menagerie[1] is a four-character memory play by Tennessee Williams which premiered in 1944 and catapulted Williams from obscurity to fame. The play has strong autobiographical elements, featuring characters based on Williams himself, his histrionic mother, and his mentally fragile sister Laura. In writing the play, Williams drew on an earlier short story, as well as a screenplay he had written under the title of The Gentleman Caller.
The play premiered in Chicago in 1944. After a shaky start it was championed by Chicago critics Ashton Stevens and Claudia Cassidy, whose enthusiasm helped build audiences so the producers could move the play to Broadway where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945. The Glass Menagerie was Williams's first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.
The characters and story mimic Williams's own life more closely than any of his other works. Williams (whose real name was Thomas) would be Tom, his mother, Amanda. His sickly and mentally unstable older sister Rose provides the basis for the fragile Laura (whose nickname in the play is "Blue Roses", a result of a bout of pleurosis as a high school student), though it has also been suggested that Laura may incorporate aspects of Williams himself, referencing his introverted nature and obsessive focus on a part of life (writing for Williams and glass animals in Laura's case).[2] Williams, who was close to Rose growing up, learnt to his horror that in 1943 in his absence his sister had been subjected to a botched lobotomy. Rose was left incapacitated (and institutionalized) for the rest of her life. With the success of The Glass Menagerie, Williams was to give half of the royalties from the play to his mother. He later designated half of the royalties from his play Summer and Smoke to provide for Rose's care, arranging for her move from the state hospital to a private sanitarium. Eventually he was to leave the bulk of his estate to ensure Rose's continuing care.[3] Rose died in 1996.
"Yes, I have tricks in my pocket, I have things up my sleeve. But I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion."
The play is introduced to the audience by Tom, the narrator and protagonist, as a memory play based on his recollection of his mother Amanda and his sister Laura.
Amanda's husband abandoned the family long ago. Although a survivor and a pragmatist, the sometimes voluble Amanda yearns for the comforts and admiration she remembers from her days as a fêted Southern belle. She worries especially about the future of her daughter Laura, a young woman with a limp and tremulous insecurity about the outside world. Tom works in a shoe warehouse doing his best to support them. He chafes under the banality and boredom of everyday life and struggles to write, while spending much of his spare time going to the movies — or so he says — at all hours of the night.
Amanda is obsessed with finding a suitor (or, as she puts it, a "gentleman caller") for Laura, whose shyness helped lead her to drop out of high school and a subsequent secretarial course, and who spends most of her time with her collection of little glass animals. Pressed by his mother to help find someone, Tom eventually invites an acquaintance from work named Jim home for dinner. Laura realizes that Jim is the boy she was attracted to in high school and has thought of since — though the relationship between the shy Laura and the "most likely to succeed" Jim was never more than a fairly distant teasing acquaintanceship. Initially, Laura is so overcome by shyness that she is unable to join the others at dinner. After dinner, though, Jim and Laura are left alone by candlelight in the living room, waiting for the electricity to be restored (Tom, planning to escape his family, has failed to pay the power bill). During their long scene together, Jim diagnoses Laura's inferiority complex, urges her to think better of herself and afterwards he and Laura share a quiet dance, where he accidentally brushes against the glass menagerie, knocking the glass unicorn to the floor and breaking off its horn. Jim then compliments Laura and kisses her. After Jim reveals that he is already engaged to be married, Laura asks him to take the broken unicorn as a gift and he then leaves. When Amanda learns that Jim is engaged she assumes Tom knew and lashes out at him.
As Tom speaks at the end of the play, it becomes clear that he left home soon afterward and did not return. In Tom's final speech, he bids farewell to his mother and sister, telling Laura to blow out the candles, which she does as the play ends.
The Glass Menagerie opened on Broadway in the Playhouse Theatre on March 31, 1945 and played there until June 29, 1946. It then moved to the Royale Theatre from July 1, 1946 until its closing on August 3, 1946. The show was directed by Eddie Dowling and Margo Jones. The cast for opening night was as follows:
Laurette Taylor's performance as Amanda set a standard against which subsequent actresses taking the role were to be judged, typically to their disadvantage. In the 2004 documentary Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There, Broadway veterans rank Taylor's performance as the most memorable of their lives.
The play won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award as Best American Play.[4] Williams gave credit to two Chicago critics, Claudia Cassidy and Ashton Stevens, for "giving him a 'start...in a fashion'..." Cassidy wrote that the play had "the stamina of success..." Stevens wrote that the play had "the courage of true poetry..."[5]
The play was reworked from one of Williams's short stories "Portrait of a Girl in Glass" (1943; published 1948).[6] The story is also written from the point of view of narrator Tom Wingfield, and many of his soliloquies from The Glass Menagerie seem lifted straight from this original. Certain elements have clearly been omitted from the play, including the reasoning for Laura's fascination with Jim's freckles (linked to a book that she loved and often reread, Freckles by Gene Stratton-Porter). Generally the story contains the same plot as the play, with certain sections given more emphasis, and character details edited (for example, in the story, Jim nicknames Tom "Slim", instead of "Shakespeare"[6]). Another basis for the play is a screenplay Williams wrote under the title of The Gentleman Caller. Williams had been briefly contracted as a writer to MGM, and he apparently envisioned Ethel Barrymore and Judy Garland for the roles that eventually became Amanda and Laura, although when the play was eventually filmed in 1950, Gertrude Lawrence was cast as Amanda and Jane Wyman as Laura.
Two Hollywood movie versions of The Glass Menagerie have been produced. The first, directed by Irving Rapper in 1950, starred Gertrude Lawrence (Amanda), Jane Wyman (Laura), Arthur Kennedy (Tom) and Kirk Douglas (Jim).[7] Williams characterized this version, which had an implied happy ending grafted onto it in the style of American films from that era, as the worst adaptation of his work. Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote, "As much as we hate to say so, Miss Lawrence's performance does not compare with the tender and radiant creation of the late Laurette Taylor on the stage." [8] The film has never been released on either VHS or DVD.
The second film directed by Paul Newman in 1987, starred Joanne Woodward (Amanda), Karen Allen (Laura), John Malkovich (Tom), and James Naughton (Jim) and, if anything, was even less well-received than the earlier film and sank without much attention. However, the New York Times reviewer noted "starts out stiffly and gets better as it goes along, with the dinner-party sequence its biggest success; in this highly charged situation, Miss Woodward's Amanda indeed seems to flower. But quiet reverence is its prevailing tone, and in the end that seems thoroughly at odds with anything Williams ever intended."[9] It is available on DVD.
There is a critically acclaimed Indian adaptation of the play, filmed in the Malayalam language. The movie titled Akale (meaning At a Distance), released in 2004, is directed by Shyamaprasad. The story is set in the southern Indian state of Kerala in the 1970s, in an Anglo-Indian/Latin Catholic household. The characters were renamed to fit the context better (the surname Wingfield was changed to D'Costa, reflecting the part-Portuguese heritage of the family — probably on the absent father's side, since the mother is Anglo-Indian), but the story remains essentially the same. Prithviraj Sukumaran plays Neil D'Costa (Tom Wingfield in the play), Geethu Mohandas plays Rosemary D'Costa (Laura Wingfield), Sheela plays Margaret D'Costa (Amanda Wingfield), and Tom George Kolath plays Freddy Evans (Jim O'Connor). Sheela won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Geethu Mohandas won the Kerala State Film Award for the best actress.
The Iranian film Here Without Me (2011) is also an adaptation of the play, in a contemporary Iranian setting.[10]
The first radio adaptation of the play was performed on Theatre Guild on the Air in 1951 starring Helen Hayes as Amanda with Montgomery Clift as Tom,[11] Kathryn Baird as Laura, and Karl Malden as Jim. A 1953 adaptation appeared on the radio series Best Plays starring Evelyn Varden as Amanda and Geraldine Page as Laura. Jane Wyman recreated her film role of Laura for a 1954 adaptation on Lux Radio Theatre with Fay Bainter as Amanda and Frank Lovejoy as Tom and Tom Brown as Jim. The 1953 version is not known to survive but recordings of the other two are in circulation.
The first television version, recorded on videotape and starring Shirley Booth, was broadcast on December 8, 1966 as part of CBS Playhouse. Barbara Loden played Laura, Hal Holbrook played Tom and Pat Hingle played the Gentleman Caller.[12] Booth was nominated for an Emmy for her performance as Amanda.
A second television adaptation was broadcast on ABC on December 16, 1973, starring Katharine Hepburn as Amanda, Sam Waterston as Tom, Michael Moriarty as Jim, and Joanna Miles as Laura. It was directed by Anthony Harvey. (Tom's initial soliloquy, so striking onstage, is cut from this version; it opens with him walking alone in an alley, sitting on a rampart to read the newspaper and having his sister's and mother's voices conjure up the first domestic scene.) All four actors were nominated for Emmys, with Moriarty and Miles winning.
The Glass Menagerie has had a number of Broadway revivals. Maureen Stapleton, Anne Pitoniak, Jessica Tandy, Julie Harris, Jessica Lange, Judith Ivey, Harriet Harris,[13] and Cherry Jones have all portrayed Amanda Wingfield.
The 2013 Broadway revival began previews on September 5 with an official opening on September 26, 2013 at the Booth Theatre and closed on February 23, 2014.[15] The cast featured Cherry Jones as Amanda Wingfield, Zachary Quinto as Tom, Celia Keenan-Bolger as Laura and Brian J. Smith as Jim and was directed by John Tiffany.[16][17] This production received seven 2014 Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play (Cherry Jones), Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play (Brian J. Smith), Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play (Celia Keenan-Bolger), Best Scenic Design of a Play (Bob Crowley), Best Lighting Design of a Play (Natasha Katz) and Best Direction of a Play (John Tiffany).[18] and three Drama Desk Award nominations, including Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play (Brian J. Smith), Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play (Celia Keenan-Bolger), and Outstanding Music in a Play (Nico Muhly).[19]
In 1997, Kiefer Sutherland returned to his theatrical roots, starring with his mother, Canadian actress Shirley Douglas, in a Canadian production of The Glass Menagerie at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.
The Glass Menagerie was parodied by Christopher Durang in a short one-act titled For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, in which Laura is replaced by a wimpy hypochondriac son named Lawrence, and the "gentleman caller" becomes Ginny, a butch female factory worker with a hearing problem. Lawrence, instead of prizing a collection of glass figurines, here is obsessed with his collection of glass cocktail stirrers.
Ryan Landry and The Gold Dust Orphans did a parody called The Plexiglass Menagerie, set in a FEMA trailer in post-Katrina New Orleans, with Landry playing Amanda in an all-male cast.
